Caring for animals in need Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Staff at the Burnaby Veterinary Hospital spent a recent Sunday providing free care for animals at the SPCA. During the Jan. 25 event, the clinic provided an estimated $20,000 to $25,000 worth of procedures for cats and dogs needing homes. “They have nobody else,” said Claudia Richter, head veterinarian and co-owner of the clinic. “There are just some animals left behind and they don’t get the proper care they need.” Richter, and clinic co-owner Trent McClements, started Vets in Action in 2013, providing a full day of free care for the SPCA. “Our plan was to have a clinic that was really involved in the community and to give back to the community,” Richter said. This past Sunday marks the second time she and her staff have donated a day’s work. They did 11 Animals Page 4

Kinder Morgan drops suit against protesters Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kinder Morgan is dropping its multimillion-dollar civil suit against all five Burnaby Mountain protesters and is willing to pay their court costs. Kinder Morgan announced its latest legal move in a Fridayafternoon press release stating the

company has filed a “unilateral discontinuance” of the suit that’s been hanging over the heads of five protesters. Stephen Collis, Lynne Quarmby, Alan Dutton, Mia Nissen and Adam Gold were all named in the suit filed when Kinder Morgan sought an injunction to stop people from interfering with survey work for the Trans

Mountain pipeline expansion. Unilateral discontinuance means Kinder Morgan may have to pay the protesters’ court costs and the suit will be dropped whether they agree or not. Jason Gratl, lawyer for Nissen and Gold, said the news was hilarious. “The timing is not coincidental,” said Gratl, who suspected

They would rather pay costs than provide us with a glimpse into the inner world of Trans Mountain.” Quarmby and Collis, both SFU professors, had already agreed to a discontinuance without costs, meaning neither side could ask the other to pay their court fees.

HEALTH AUTHORITY ANNOUNCES MOVE TO REDUCE SURGERY WAITLISTS

Extra operating room opens up Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Burnaby surgeons will soon have an extra operating room in which to clear up their long waitlists. Fraser Health told the NOW this week that it will open a seventh OR in the local hospital in February and March. The health authority announced in a press release Tuesday that it planned to provide 650 extra surgeries across the region by the end of March. About 150 of those will be performed at Burnaby Hospital, according to Fraser Health director of surgery Dr. Peter Blair. “We looked at the surgeons there and the cases that needed to get done, and that’s roughly what we’re looking at,” he told the NOW. The move comes within two months of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation publishing two leaked documents about surgeries at the hospital. The first was a memo from Blair and Fraser Health executive director Judith Hockney to surgeons across the health region. Data included with the memo revealed that – as of Oct. 9 – 143 Burnaby Hospital patients had spent more than a year waiting for surgery, and another 1,004 had waited between six and 12 months. (Under the province’s pay-for-

Burnaby Hospital was poised to cost Fraser Health $620,000 – more than any other hospital except Surrey Memorial.) On Dec. 10, the taxpayers federation released a letter addressed to Blair and signed by 18 Burnaby

surgeons who said they had lost faith in the management of Fraser Health surgical services. They called on the health authority to increase surgical resources at Burnaby Hospital. “It is obvious that the only way that the surgeons of BH can reduce their waiting lists is by having access to more operating room time to do the surgery,” stated the

letter. Blair said that – while the surgeons may have been right about being under-resourced – the health authority decided to open the extra OR because of data it has been building up for several years. He called the disgruntled surgeons who wrote the letter last month a “small group.” Hospital Page 5

Burnaby eyes three per cent tax hike Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Taxes may be going up in Burnaby, despite the city earning almost $150 million on cash and investments last year. On Monday, Burnaby city council received its provisional financial budget for 2015 – which recommends a 2.98 per cent tax increase – shortly after announcing the city closed 2014 with $827,411,505 in the bank, up from $679,538,076 the previous year. The money includes restricted funds such as development cost charges and other reserve funds. Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s financial management committee, said the tax increase would have been larger, were it not

for savings found by city staff. “Staff have met with the finance committee over the past couple of months and have been able to shave the tax rate down – I believe we started at 4.5 or five per cent at one point,” he said at council. Last year, council approved a 1.97 per cent tax increase, though the city had initially projected a 2.47 per cent hike. Johnston attributed this year’s increase to numerous factors – including additional operating costs related to the parks system and waste management – but noted the hike is due primarily to labour costs. “We have contract increases that have been dictated through collective agreements from the RCMP, the firefighters – which is still

under negotiations for future years – and our Canadian Union of Public Employees, our city employees,” he said. “We’re also looking at increased utility costs, additional costs that are passed on to us from Ottawa for the RCMP operations.” The city will seek input from the public on the recommendations before the annual budget goes to council in May. Additionally, Johnston said individual Burnaby residents may see higher or lower tax rates, depending on the assessed value of their homes. Mayor Derek Corrigan added that many of the city’s costs are non-negotiable, and the city does its best to balance those while maintaining local services. See more at www.burnabynow.com.

more animals. “That money is saved up so we can help other animals we may not be able to help otherwise,” said Burnaby branch manager Ryan Voutilainen. “It’s

Gratl explained that his clients, Nissen and Gold, wouldn’t agree to that, so the suit against them was still active. “In short, my clients called Trans Mountain’s bluff and Trans Mountain folded,” Gratl said. Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsell, however, said the company was just following up on a promise Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson made in December, saying the company would drop the suit if the work on Burnaby Mountain was completed. “Ian had committed very publicly, very quickly, a promise that we would discontinue the proceedings, and we wanted to do that,” Hounsell said. Hounsell pointed out that only two of the five defendants (Quarmby and Collis) agreed to discontinue the suit with no costs. “The others for whatever reason want to continue to bring this up, and want to continue to drag it out publicly, so instead of waiting for them to sign on, we went this other route,” she said. “The down side for us is we could be responsible for court costs, but for us it’s a small price to pay. … This is a way for us to make it crystal clear for everyone that we have no intention of pursing it.” Hounsell also explained that the whole point of the civil suit was to secure an injunction, which the company got for its work on Burnaby Mountain. While Gold and Nissen wouldn’t accept a discontinuance of the suit, Dutton took his case much further. He recently applied to the B.C. Supreme Court to have the suit dismissed, and was hoping to have it declared a SLAPP suit, but the judge rejected his request. Dutton was gleeful to hear Friday’s news. “It’s because of my SLAPP suit (campaign) that Kinder Morgan is running away from this. Regardless of what they are saying, I’m still going to pursue them for costs,” he said. “They are not getting off the hook.” Dutton is still planning to launch a campaign calling for the reinstatement of anti-SLAPP suit legislation. “There’s a principle at stake. It’s not about me, it’s about Charter rights,” he said. Quarmby was also happy to hear the news. “I’m elated, and I think that this is an entirely appropriate response, and I’m just relieved for all of the defendants,” she said.

Superintendent leaves Burnaby school district ‘We’re going in different directions,’ says school board chair Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby school board has appointed a new superintendent after the sudden departure of Kevin Kaardal, who had led the district for the last two years. Deputy superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen was installed Tuesday morning just days after the board signed a confidential-

ity agreement with the outgoing Kaardal Friday. Board chair Ron Burton told the NOW that Kaardal’s departure was neither a firing nor a resignation. “It was kind of a mutual agreement where the board wanted to move in a different direction and he wanted to pursue other options,” Burton said. After consulting legal counsel, Burton said he couldn’t delve more deeply into the details surrounding Kaardal’s departure because it is a personnel issue, but that confidentiality agree-

“Obviously they were ventilating,” Blair said, “but I continue, in my opinion, to have a good working relationship with the surgeons in Burnaby. … I think it was a small group, and certainly the overwhelming impression I get as I travel around Fraser Health is that the

surgeons understand the situation.” Blair said two months with an extra operating room should bring Burnaby’s wait times in line with other hospitals in the health region. But Dr. David Jones, who spent six years as Burnaby Hospital’s medical director, said surgeons and patients

won’t have enough time to make full use of the extra OR, and the health authority should be looking for a long-term solution. “That’s very nice that (they) were able to find the resources to help for a short period of time,” Jones said, “but what’s the long-term solution to the waiting lists at Burnaby Hospital?”

Until her appointment Tuesday, she had been responsible for the administration and supervision of learning support services, youth and community services, early learning and community schools.

OUR VIEW

It’s not easy pegging Greens IN MY OPINION

Keith Baldrey

recent dustup on social media between an NDP MLA and B.C.’s lone Green Party MLA provides a few more clues about the apparent shifting political landscape in this province. NDP MLA Doug Routley, who routinely attacks Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver on Twitter and Facebook, let slip, via Twitter, his plan to use one of his campaign volunteers to mount a smear campaign against Weaver through that same social media tool. He was caught, the NDP was embarrassed and everyone moved on. But the fact the NDP thinks Weaver is such a threat to them that he deserves special treatment with a de facto black ops campaign is telling. It says the party is worried about the threat of a party that seems to be growing – albeit in pockets of the province, and not everywhere – in force, not shrinking. But lost in all this is the fact the B.C. Liberals should also be concerned about the potential rise of a third, viable party in

this province. One of the great games political observers of all stripes is to solve this mystery: where do Green voters come from? Which parties do voters abandon the most as they travel over to the Green Party? I looked at the results of the last two provincial elections, to examine any shifts in voting patterns that occurred when the Green vote in a particular riding significantly increased or decreased from one election to the next. I was surprised to learn that the absence of a Green Party candidate in eight ridings in 2013 (where the party had fielded one in 2009) actually saw the B.C. Liberals’ vote actually increase. Those one-time Green voters had apparently switched to the B.C. Liberals – not the NDP – when voting for a Green Party candidate wasn’t an option. Take the ridings of Kamloops-North Thompson and Kamloops-South Thompson as examples. The Green Party candidates picked up almost 3,000 votes between them in 2009, but the party didn’t field a candidate in either riding in 2013. What happened? Support for the B.C. Liberals subsequently increased by almost 4,800 votes in 2013, while support for the NDP jumped by less than 1,000 votes, which suggests those Greens Page 7

also border on thought police. The term CSIS and the government prefer is “disruption” – which could mean deleting websites and Twitter postings, blocking cellphone signals, bugging apartments or longer periods of “preventative detention.” None of which seems threatening, until it’s your thoughts that are deemed unacceptable by the state. Let us make this clear: We don’t believe there is an unfettered right to freedom of speech. We make sharp distinctions between opinions based on beliefs we may disagree with and speech

that is motivated by hatred and seeks to incite harm against a group of people based on their religion or other defining characteristic. Calling for the death of anyone is certainly against the law and should have legal consequences. But simply having “radical” beliefs should clearly not be illegal or trigger detention. We might be less concerned if there was some sort of strong oversight in this process. But there isn’t. When Big Brother is watching, someone else needs to keep close tabs on the watchers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR B.C. Parks needs to shape up Dear Editor:

I just read Christina Myers’ In My Opinion article (Don’t take away our camping, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 30 issue) on camping and the fee increases. I wholeheartedly agree with her statements. I also wanted to add that while I appreciate the reservation system and being able to pick your own spot, one needs to have great fast finger timing and luck to actually get a spot at some of the more popular campgrounds. We used to really enjoy going to Okanagan Lake campground, but the last few years, despite being on the system with the spot picked the second the reservation system opens, I have been unable to secure a site. They go that fast. Having camped there many times, I also note

that half or more of the campers were from out of province. Frustrated with not being able to get a spot, I sent B.C. Parks a suggestion a few years ago, that perhaps the first few days of reservation availability around some of the busier weekends etc. should be set aside for B.C. residents only. After all, we are the ones paying the taxes on those parks. Then the rest of the spots left could be opened up to other provinces etc. afterwards. The response I got was basically a tutorial on how to use the reservation system in the first place, which I am very familiar with. So, B.C. Parks, you need to ensure your residents are both able to afford to camp and can actually secure spots to enjoy the camping experience. Another camping mom, Jane Ann Mintenko, by email

Mayor Derek Corrigan is complaining that Kinder Morgan “may” be using some of the service fees granted by the National Energy Board to Kinder Morgan to pay for advertising associated with the pipeline

surge in the Green vote meant the B.C. Liberals lost support, not the NDP. What do all these seemingly conflicting scenarios tell us? First of all, it’s hard to pigeonhole the Green voter. There’s obviously more at play here than the conventional wisdom that they are all mostly disaffected NDP voters. I suspect that a significant number of Green voters are not particularly left-wing. Instead, they may be small business owners, entrepreneurs, younger people who have a strong “green” streak to their outlook on life, and those who reject established political parties and institutions like unions. The next opportunity to examine the impact of the emerging Green vote is in the upcoming federal election in October. Again, the key is not to look at their vote from a national perspective, or even a pro-

Greens: Will they shape federal race? ex-Green voters were considerably more comfortable entering the B.C. Liberal tent than the NDP one. The same scenario unfolded in several Okanagan ridings, as well as in two Surrey ridings. All but one of them could be considered B.C. Liberal strongholds. But it was the opposite case in a bunch of other ridings, where the rise in Green voters did seem to hurt the NDP more than the B.C. Liberals. Most of these were on Vancouver Island. It was particularly noticeable in a riding like Esquimalt-Royal Roads, where NDP MLA Maurine Kauragianis saw her vote slip by more than 500 votes, while the Greens increased their portion by more than 1,300. Strangely enough, in the two neighbouring Victoria ridings, a slight

expansion. Yet the City of Burnaby is using tax revenue from the residents of Burnaby to pay for the negative advertising that the city is generating to fight against Kinder Morgan and the pipeline expansion. Isn’t that hypocrisy?

vincial one. Rather, the party seems to be establishing small pockets of support in various places, which could have a big impact on a handful of ridings. Take the federal riding of Victoria as an example: the Greens came very close to winning a byelection there a couple of years back, and the city recently elected a mayor with strong Green credentials. The party is running Jo-Anne Roberts, a well known former local radio host against the NDP’s incumbent MP, Murray Rankin. The two of them know each other, so I don’t expect a Twitter fight to erupt between them. Nevertheless, the NDP will be looking nervously over its shoulder there. The political landscape may indeed be shifting, in some places at least. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

THE BURNABYNOW STORY: Kinder Morgan drops multimillion-dollar lawsuit against protesters – Jan. 30

Facebook I Jase Panic: Excellent news! Keep up the great work guys!! Now KM needs to pay their private police (RCMP) bill. Burnaby shouldn’t.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I earlrichards Pressing charges against the Burnaby Five was a stupid idea to begin with, because public opinion would go against KM. KM must be a stupid corporation. Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Mike X I think that it would be more accurate to say that KM doesn’t care about public opinion, since the public doesn’t have much of a say, due to the Harper Government, the NEB, and the way that the system of law is set up.

City staff, cops take down protest camp Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The last bastion of the anti-pipeline protests has come down. City staff and several RCMP officers moved in early last Wednesday to remove an unauthorized protest camp near Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal. Pipeline opponent Sergei Van Hardeveld and three others were in the tent at the time. “They came and said ‘hands up’– no guns drawn or anything, but that was kind of unnecessary,” Van Hardeveld told the NOW. “It was pretty jarring.” Van Hardeveld and his cohorts gathered some items and left, while city staff spent about 1.5 hours dismantling the camp. The protesters were given a number to call to retrieve their property. Van Hardeveld said he found the treatment rather heavy-handed. “It was certainly a very bureaucratic response when they could have had a human response,” he said. The camp was on city property, at the entrance to

Protest: Sergei Van Hardeveld, at right, was one of the

pipeline opponents at the camp site. Kinder Morgan’s terminal, where tankers fill up with crude. After November’s standoff on Burnaby Mountain, a few remaining protesters set up a new camp at Westridge to monitor Kinder Morgan’s activities. Dave Ellenwood, head of the city’s parks department, said the protesters were given notices to leave more than once, and city staff also spoke to them. “We had talked to them several times. It was always

civil, but the response was always, ‘We’re not leaving, we have an encampment here,’” Ellenwood said. Ellenwood explained that camping is not allowed in city parks, and the police will accompany city staff to remove encampments. Van Hardeveld questioned the city’s opposition to the pipeline project. “Personally, I feel the city is rolling over,” he said. “They’re doing their legal action, but they aren’t doing anything else.”

Well-known bakery gets a fresh start

After 54 years in Vancouver, Bon Bon Bakery packed up its shop and moved east to Burnaby in search of a fresh start. The popular Italian bakery moved to Hastings Street in the Heights after spending more than five decades on Victoria Drive in Vancouver. Bon Bon Bakery owner Paolo Burtini hopes the new location means the bakery will be open another five decades. “I figured Burnaby was the place to be for an Italian bakery,” he told the NOW, adding he was already impressed with the new neighbourhood after just one month of being open. “There’s a lot of old customers coming in, and they’re happy that we’re there. They say we’re closer to them, so obviously I hit the right spot,” Burtini said. Bon Bon Bakery closed its Vancouver location last spring, and reopened in the Heights on New Year’s Eve. “We needed to have a change in location because where

we were, it just wasn’t working for us anymore,” Burtini ager. He eventually took it over when his parents decided to said. retire.

Heights is full of love and prosperity

By Sydney Van Alstyne, Heights contributor

I have come to love February. The days are getting longer, and spring is finally within reach. There are some special times to celebrate, such as Family Day and Valentine’s Day. To me, February is a month to celebrate the special people in your life. It’s called Family Day for a reason. An extra day off allows you to enjoy some quality time with your family. Take advantage of this day by trying something new. Walk your dog with the family in Confederation Park. Or, visit Eileen Dailly Pool with the kids and slide down the giant waterslide. Have you visited the new bakery in the Heights? Finish off with a treat from Bon Bon Bakery or test out Glenburn Soda

Fountain’s or Chez Christophe’s limited edition hot chocolate, which are only available until Feb. 14. Valentine’s Day sneaks up on you no matter what your relationship status. Whether you have a special someone to swoon over, or you are solo, you can enjoy the hype of Valentine’s Day! Food is always the way to my heart. I would suggest making a special meal for that special someone with some local food. After learning some new skills in Posh Pantry’s cooking classes, take your grocery shopping to a butcher or fish market on the Heights for some high-quality meat or seafood. If you’re not much of a cook, then make sure you have reservations booked. Is your partner a huge burger fan? Take them to the southern-inspired Burgers Etc. BBQ House. Or, if you want to bring out the romance of Valentine’s Day, Italian

Lively City: Kids can get arty for spring break continued from page 9

Teen readers wanted

Is there a teenage reader in your household? The Burnaby Public Library is once again offering its Teen Winter Readers’ Review, a contest for teens in grades 8 through 12. You can call on any library branch to register and pick up a review package.

Check out www.bpl.bc.ca/teens for more.

Spring break offerings

This may seem like an early heads-up, but it’s not too soon to

start thinking about spring break. For local parents looking for fun activities for the kids, look no farther than the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. The centre is once again offering a host of arty options for spring break for all ages, from three- and four-year-olds through the teens. During the first week of spring break (March 9 to 13), three-, fourand five-year-olds can check out Creative Dance for Parent and Child, while four- to six-year-olds can try out Creative Drama. For seven- to nine-year-olds, there’s Drama Adventures, and seven- to 12-year-olds can try out Making Stories. For the tweens (nine to 12), there’s also a digital filmmaking camp that runs all day Monday to Friday. Teens aged 13 to 18 can take part in a Just for Writers course that

runs 1 to 3 p.m. daily. There’s also a week-long Shadbolt Arts Jam, a multidisciplinary art camp that immerses kids in dance, music appreciation, drama, drawing and painting, with a demo on the final day. It’s offered for six- to eight-year-olds and for nine- to 12-year-olds, and there’s after-camp fun care for those families who need it. In the second week (March 16 to 20), kids aged seven to 12 can try out the Shadbolt Circus Camp daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and once again there’s after-camp fun care for those who require it.

Emotions: Unfurling, by Karen Santos, is part of a new Expressions in Abstract exhibition opening at the Burnaby Arts Council gallery on Feb. 7.

Abstract ideas

What does abstract art mean? Many different things to many different artists – and three of them will be sharing their vision in the Burnaby Arts Council’s next exhibition. Expressions in Abstract opens Feb. 7 at the arts council’s Deer Lake Gallery. It features the work of three emerging artists from different generations and backgrounds, who share their own interpretations and philosophies of abstraction. “Abstract art has many purposes and inspirations and covers many styles, communicating an idea or concept through the use of colour, composition, shape and line,” a press release says. “The journeys of the artists express in their own terms what abstract art means to them, exploring the very nature of expression.” One of the three featured artists is Evan Locke, who approaches painting from the viewpoint of paintings as objects, “creating paintings able to express their own construction, attempting to turn the expressive nature of abstract painting into an explicable one.” Also featured is Iris Low, who works to diminish

the stigma associated with mental illness by expressing herself through her art. “Iris looks for different ways to express the beauty in the dark and the struggle to obtain the light by communicating through her paintings,” the release says. The third artist is Karen Santos, a singer and painter whose work is an extension of the emotions that stem from singing and creating music. “Karen is inspired by the relationship between art, music and psychology,” the release notes. An opening reception for the exhibition is set for Saturday, Feb. 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyarts council.org or call 604-2987322 for more information about the show.

Croon along with Henry at sing-along

Here’s something to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day. Local crooner Henry Thompson is organizing the Bonsor Seniors sing-along this Thursday. Thompson was featured in the Burnaby NOW last summer, when he performed at Music in the Park, a free performance series put on by EPIC, the Edmonds residents’ group. Thompson, now in his 80s, has been

singing since he was a young man, working on the railway in India. He regularly organizes the sing-along, which runs twice a month. The event on Thursday will be from 1 to 3 p.m. at 6550 Bonsor Ave. There will be an open microphone at the event, and anyone interested in leading the crowd is welcome to sing. Admission is free. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Clan coach opts for USL Whitecaps Winning SFU coach to head ’Caps FC 2 in PRO season debut Tom Berridge

sports editor

Alan Koch resigned as head coach for the Simon Fraser University men’s soccer program to take on a similar position with the Vancouver Whitecaps. Koch, an SFU graduate, resigned Friday to become the head coach of the Whitecaps FC 2 squad, which will be making its debut in the United Soccer League PRO division this season. The South Africanborn Koch had incredible success over the past seven seasons on Burnaby Mountain, leading the Clan to back-to-back final four appearances at the NCAA Division II national championships, while fashioning a career 126-217 record. “This was not an easy decision, but I’ve always wanted to coach in the professional game, and to do that without having to relocate is an opportunity I could not pass up,” said Koch in a Clan press release. “Burnaby Mountain is a magical place, and the people on the hill will always have a special spot in my heart. We had unprecedented success over our seven seasons together, and I

SPORTS BRIEFS Gabriel Ho-Garcia of Burnaby and New Westminster’s Brenden Bissett were both named as forwards to Canada’s national men’s team for Round 2 of World League field hockey. Ho-Garcia and Bissett were among the 18 players, including 16 from B.C., who will take part in the eight-team competition to be held in San Diego from Feb. 28 to March 8. Canada’s opening match will be against the United States on Feb. 28. The top three qualifiers will move on to Round 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina in June. The top four teams in Round 3 will earn a berth into the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Brazil.

Moving on: Simon Fraser University head coach Alan Koch will take over the head coaching duties with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 professional soccer team. know that the framework is in place for continued success.” Koch coached in the NAIA for two seasons with the Clan, before leading SFU into the NCAA. This season, he led the Clan to its third consecu-

tive appearance at the Div. II nationals. He also enjoyed an unbeaten season in 2011, when SFU was ranked No. 1 in the nation but was ineligible to take part in the post season due to NCAA rules.

In 2009, Koch also led SFU to the final four at the NAIA national championships, where Colin Streckmann became the program’s first-ever national player of the year. Koch also earned the

distinction of reaching the 100-win mark faster than any other coach in SFU history. A search to replace Koch as head coach of the soccer program is already underway.

Young blood giving EDC new life Tom Berridge sports editor

EDC BC Burnaby A is charging hard for a playoff finish in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League. EDC moved up two within two points of third place following a 42 victory over second-place ICST Pegasus at Burnaby Lake-West on Friday. Rizal Ganief, with his eighth goal of the season, and Simon Fraser University freshman Michael North scored first-half markers, while Ylya Malek and Parker Ellis of Burnaby counted single markers in the final half for the Estrella de Chile club. Chile gave up the game’s first goal in the opening minute but gained possession and dominated play until goalkeeper Christian

Zimmerman had to leave the game with an injury. Starting centre midfielder Chris Kydd took over between the sticks for EDC. The win moved Chile into a three-way tie for fifth place in the 12-team premier men’s division with Langley FC and Coquitlam Metro-Ford, all with identical records of 7-8-4. The three clubs sit just a point behind both Richmond and Inter FC for third spot. The win was Chile’s third in the last four matches, which included a 4-1 loss to first-place West Van FC at home earlier in the month. The difference in the month of January has been a pickup of younger players from Simon Fraser University, said head coach and club president Claudio Ramirez.

Poljer-So and Chui placed first and second, respectively, at the Canada Winter Games trials in November. Three other Burnaby skaters, Kiersten Hagen, Shota Inoda and Teunis Takemori, were named alternates for Team B.C. The Games will take place from Feb. 12 to 28. – Tom Berridge
