MLA Kathy Corrigan calls it quits Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA won’t run in 2017 election EXCLUSIVE

By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A bad back and the potential to spend more time with her family has prompted MLA Kathy Corrigan to retire from politics.

In an exclusive interview with the NOW, the New Democrat says she’s looking forward to retirement and spending time with loved ones. Corrigan has also been having “significant back problems” over the years and the trips back and forth from Victoria every week have been “a bit of a grind.”

“I don’t think it helps my back at all,” she says of the plane rides and the 12-hour days in the legislature. “My back is as such that I couldn’t see (myself) physically going through it another four years and being away from my family for another four years.”

The mother-of-four adds she’s also hopeful for some grandchildren in the not-too-distant future.

“They’re starting to take the hint. I do remind all of them that

MOVING ON In an exclusive interview with the NOW, Kathy Corrigan, MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake, says she won’t be seeking re-election in the 2017 provincial election.

Corrigan she’s looking forward to cooking, travelling and playing golf once she retires next year. PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR it is their obligation as my children to have children,” she jokingly says.

Corrigan, 62, is the first NDP MLA in B.C. to announce she won’t be running in 2017. Her reason for sharing the news now was to give her party plenty of time to find a replacement, a process she says could start immedi-

ately. Asked if she knew any potential candidates wanting to throw their hat in the ring, Corrigan couldn’t say.

“There are people who are interested, but that’s up to them.”

Corrigan – a lawyer and policy researcher by trade – was first elected to the legislature in 2009 after winning Liberal MLA John

Nuraney’s seat. Prior to entering provincial politics, she served three terms on the Burnaby Board of Education from 1999 to 2008, with two of those years as board chair. She was also active on many district committees and was a member of the B.C. School Trustees Association provincial council.

Corrigan still remembers the

day former NDP leader Carole James asked her to put her name forward.

“I was really interested and really honoured that she would ask me. I thought about it and thought about how much of a commitment it was,” she tells the NOW. Continued on page 4

Summer registration process unfair, say parents Different rules for private and public school students

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby independent school parents are fed up with the Burnaby school district for a summer school registration process they say

is unfair to kids who go to local private schools.

For years, local private school parents have lined up outside the district office with other parents from outside Burnaby and parents of international students

to register in person for School District No. 41 summer school classes, which attracted a total of nearly 8,000 students last year.

Local public school students, meanwhile, were able to register online one week

earlier.

“We live in Burnaby and pay taxes in Burnaby,” Sandra Wong, a mom at a local Catholic school wrote in a Jan. 25 letter to the district.

“We should not have to register so late and hope to get a spot in a summer school.”

Teacher’s question sparks new program Young workers at highest risk

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby school is behind a program that will see 120 B.C. high schools observe this year’s National Day of Mourning to honour workers killed and injured in the workplace.

April 28 has been recognized as the National Day of Mourning since 1991, but this year schools around the province will mark the day with a program first developed at Cariboo Hill Secondary by social studies teacher John Decaire.

He said the idea first came to him as he was teaching his Grade 11 class about the 1935 On-to-Ottawa Trek for workers’ rights.

He had asked the class how many of them had part-time jobs.

“Half the class put their hands up,” Decaire said, “and it occurred to me; they probably don’t realize it, but some of the same issues affect working people to this day and affect them.”

It’s especially important for young people to know about workers’ rights, according to Decaire, because they are the most vulnera-

ble employee group when it comes to workplace injury and death.

Half of all workplace injuries happened to workers under the age of 25, according to WorkSafeBC, and from 2010 to 2014, 32,000 young workers were injured and 29 were killed in B.C. alone.

Decaire decided to get in touch with the B.C. Labour Heritage Centre last January and use last year’s National Day of Mourning

The initiative – featuring handouts, displays, morning announcements, the screening of a WorkSafeBC video and a school-wide moment of silence – were well re-

ceived, Decaire said.

“I talked to a lot of kids that approached me, asked me about it,” he said, “In fact, many of the kids had stories of their own – stories of people they knew who were hurt or instances

where they were asked to do things they weren’t sure of.”

High schools are an ideal place to draw attention to the National Day of Mourning, according to Decaire, especially since students have to have work-

Twitter threats lead to arrest

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A series of threats on social media to shoot up several local schools and a company headquarters in Burnaby Tuesday afternoon, has led to an arrest.

Burnaby RCMP confirmed they made one arrest in relation to violent threats made from a Twitter account against various schools and the Telus office in Burnaby, and are recommending charges.

However, police were saying little about the person arrested, including where they are from or the motive behind threatening Burnaby institutions.

The incidents began Tuesday afternoon from a Twitter account the NOW is not identifying, in which

the person threatened “to come into the schools with an AR-15 and kill every person I see.”

The threat was directed at the Burnaby School District’s Twitter account.

Several other threatening tweets followed, including one in response to a Burnaby NOW tweet: “@ BurnabyNOW_News I’m shooting up multiple @ burnabyschools today with an AR-15, get news crews

on the scene immediately.”

There were also threats to shoot up the Telus office and SFU. RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar said none of threats turned out to be true, but they were taken seriously and investigated.

With charges pending against the suspect, she noted anyone caught taking part in a similar act will be charged criminally for essentially false reporting to

police.

“It’s obviously very concerning because it’s taking away our resources from really legitimate files that are coming in,” Panesar told the NOW. Last year, a Coquitlam teen pled guilty to 23 charges, including nine offences for criminal harassment, for a number of “swatting” calls to police and law enforcement agencies in both Canada and the United States.

“Swatting” involves tricking emergency responders (a SWAT team) into deploying to a location where no emergency is taking place.

The 17-year-old was handed a sentence of 16 months in youth custody and another eight months to be served under supervision in the community.

“We actively place kids into work placements,” he said, “so it’s really important that they know that they have rights and that safety is paramount so that they

don’t get hurt.”

Special course just for motorcyclists Ride a motorcycle and want to improve your skills?

Burnaby Mounties have an event for you.

The Burnaby RCMP will be hosting the second annual Motorcycle Skills Challenge on May 13 and 14 in the Burnaby Rugby Club parking lot, 3760 Sperling Ave. The event is billed as an opportunity for riders of all levels to update their skills on two courses set up in the parking lot of the club.

“We are very pleased to offer this public service to motorcycle riders,” said Burnaby RCMP Supt.

Dave Critchley in a statement. “The event means a lot to Burnaby’s senior officer who also rides a motorcycle. Motorcycles make-up three per cent of insured vehicles, but they’re involved

in about 11 per cent of road fatalities. Road safety is one of our five policing priorities in Burnaby. ” Last year, Burnaby RCMP’s traffic section hosted the first motorcycle safety skills challenge for adult riders with a Class 6 licence. A total of 104 riders participated in the course.

Staff Sgt. Gerard Sokolowski, said, “Our purpose with this course is to help improve a rider’s skill level by providing our expertise and advice in the hope of avoiding potential future collisions.”

A Class 6 licence is required for all riders on both days, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On May 13, it will be female riders only from 2 to 6 p.m.

Corrigan reflects on career in politics, legacy

Continued from page 1 During her tenure – among her many assignments – Corrigan has been the opposition critic for the 2010 Winter Games, justice, women’s issues, public safety and solicitor general, and is currently serving as the party’s advanced education critic.

Some of her career highlights as an MLA include helping the town of Sicamous get a new bridge after a 2012 flash flood forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents and affected 600 homes. (Corrigan was public safety critic at the time.)

My disappointment has been that we didn’t win the last time around.

“I went up there, saw where the damage had been.That’s a little thing in some ways, but it mattered a lot to that community,” she says.

Standing up in the legislature and raising issues about access to post-secondary education have been other career highs.

“I’m not sure if you could say there’s any signature moments of triumphs, but I think when you’re in opposition, you have to pick your

places,” she says, adding a major project she failed to see happen during her time in office was a new hospital for Burnaby.

As for her toughest time on the job, it’s been sitting on the other side of the floor, in opposition.The results of the 2013 election came as a shock to Corrigan. Early on, it was widely predicted the NDP would form the new government.

“It is hard when you have a certain value set and you don’t see it reflected in the policies, the legislation and the budgets of the government. It is difficult to continue to fight that fight, but I always try to remember that we’re acting on the best interest of the people of British Columbia, and we owe it to the people of British Columbia to keep on (going).”

Despite the loss, Corrigan says she’s been really impressed with how unified the NDP caucus has been over the last few years.

“Even in tough times, I think we’ve done really, really well, and we’re feeling great right now.”

Meanwhile, working alongside husband and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan has been “really great,” she says, noting even if they don’t always agree on things, there’s always an interesting discussion that emerges.

“My disappointment has been that we didn’t win the last time around.We just had so many ideas about how, if you had a provincial

government and a local government working together, the great things that you could do, like cooperate and build a hospital,” Corrigan explains, adding the pair consider “date night” an evening when both of them attend a community event.

Asked whether Derek intends to retire before the next municipal election, slated for 2018, Corrigan says she doesn’t see it happening.

Did you know?

“He’s loving his job. He’s certainly not thinking about that at all. … Unless something happens to his health or something like that.”

When her term as MLA ends next year, Corrigan plans to do a lot more cooking and travelling (Italy’s first on the list). She’s also hoping to work on her golf swing, a sport she and Derek took up 15 years ago.

Corrigan says she would like her legislative legacy to be one of integrity, decorum and gravitas.

“I hope that people will know that everything I’ve done over the last 30 years –

volunteering in my community, as a school trustee for nine years and as an MLA – is that I have wanted to do the best thing for my community.

“I don’t think there’s a job in the world where you get to walk through so many doors in so many interesting ways.”

MPs voice support for assisted death bill

EARTH DAY EVENT

Liberal MP will vote for Bill C-14, while NDP MP says he’ll wait to see the final legislation Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

As the clock ticks down on the timeline the federal government has to pass new assisted-death laws, it appears the proposed legislation is getting support from local MPs across the aisle.

Burnaby North-Seymour Liberal MP Terry Beech said he will support Bill C-14, his government’s assisted-death legislation, while Burnaby South NDP MP Kennedy Stewart said he’s also leaning toward supporting the bill.

“It’s obviously a very sensitive issue,” Beech told the NOW, noting he’s heard from constituents who feel the bill doesn’t go far enough, and some who say it goes too far.

Last week, the federal government introduced legislation that would provide for medically assisted death.

The bill would change the Criminal Code so physicians, nurse practitioners – and those who help them – can provide assistance to die to eligible patients without the risk of being charged with assisted suicide or homicide.The government said the bill will have safeguards to make sure those who receive medical assistance in dying are eligi-

SPRING DECORATING EVENT

Assisted death issue has deep roots in Canadian politics While many countries have laws permitting some form of assisted death, the road to legislating it in Canada has been decades in the making.

The battle over the issue really heated up in the early 1990s, when Sue Rodriguez, a B.C. woman, fought for the right to die.

Burnaby MP Svend Robinson took up her cause, but in 1993, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled against her in a close 5-4 decision.

Canada’s highest Rodriguez, who court, in the case was battling ALS, Carter v. Canada, eventually took her ruled that section life with the help of a of the Criminal physician in 1994.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Taking it slow with assisted death The Liberals seem to have taken a middle-of-theroad position on assisted death legislation in Canada.

It’s not a blank cheque, and yet it still allows for a legal way for those suffering to end their lives. But in between those two bookends are a lot of questions, frustration and controversy.

Many were hoping for a simple way to end their life when it becomes intolerable – a form to be filled out in advance, similar to the current ‘do not resuscitate’

forms that communicate one’s wishes to family and/ or physicians and caregivers.

A form that would empower a physician to administer a legal lethal dose when one has reached the point when the individual has, basically, said it’s time to call it quits.

Similar to some European countries, which have legalized euthanasia, the onus would be on the individual to determine when to die.

But the proposed legislation in Canada has put some major speed bumps in

our path to shuffle off this mortal coil.

For patients to be eligible for medical aid in dying, the legislation says that can only happen when “natural death has become reasonably foreseeable.” And that can only happen when an individual signs a request witnessed by two people who have no financial interest in the case, and two doctors or nurse practitioners not on the treatment team would also have to evaluate the situation and request.

The language in the legislation says a person has to be in an “advanced state of irreversible decline in capacity.” But what that means is obviously open to interpretation.When one combines that with “natural death has become reasonably foreseeable,” it again brings us back to the question of who is in charge of one’s own life – or rather death. Clearly, physicians will carry the lion’s share of the burden of decisions in these cases.

And, as always, loved ones

will be advocates for, or against, assisting their loved one to die.

Some people believe that the legislation makes it too easy to end one’s life. And some still believe, although they are the minority, that there should be no assisted suicides allowed in any situation.

We think as a first step this legislation is a good one. Life and death are not simple matters, and, we believe, the legislation will evolve in time.

More than 20 years ago a Burnaby MP, Svend Robinson, advocated for Sue Rodriguez’s right to end her own life.That case ended up in the Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote against assisted suicide. In 1994, an unidentified physician helped her end her life while Robinson was present.

Rodriguez, Robinson and many others deserve our thanks for fighting for a compassionate end to suffering.

MY VIEW LAURA JONES

What defines a true leader?

What is this thing we call leadership? That’s the question I was asked to decode for an audience of female business owners last week.

I came across a little gem in a book from management guru Peter Drucker. He says: “the definition of a leader, the only definition, is somebody who has followers.” I was a little perplexed.You don’t have to achieve results to be a leader?You don’t have to be a good person?You just have to have followers? Mother Teresa has followers, she was a leader. Justin Trudeau has followers, he is a leader.

Donald Trump has followers, he is a leader.

At around the same time, I was reading the biography of Steve Jobs. Parts of his story are very inspiring.

He believed strongly in his vision that Apple products should be esthetically pleasing and easy to use.

The company has been wildly successful as a result.

He made all kinds of brave decisions that ran counter to popular opinion and what others felt he should do to champion his strong beliefs and high standards.

Yet, to say he was hard on the people close to him is putting it mildly. I didn’t find anything in his leadership style that I would want to emulate.

If having followers made Steve Jobs a leader, what is the commonality between Jobs,Trump and Mother Teresa that attracts those followers?

Here’s my theory: I think

to attract followers (and therefore be a leader), you have to be authentic and willing to project your values and passion through your work. It’s not enough to just have values and passions.They have to be important enough that you will project them into the world in spite of what people might think.Trump may be a jerk, but he’s an authentic jerk who is willing to project his values and passions to the public in spite of what people might say.

Leadership is that easy and that hard. Because to do that you have to stop worrying about what your parents or spouse or friends think you should want or think you should do.

You have to take risks.

You have to be true to yourself and figure out how to stand up for what you believe in and express your energy in an authentic way.

Leadership is that easy and that hard.

The most important question a leader can work on is not, “What is leadership?”

For that you need followers and a willingness to project your values and passions into the world.

The more important question for leaders is a much more personal and practical question:What kind of leader do you want to be?

What has become of society’s behaviour?

Dear Editor I recently had bloodwork done at a lab. While awaiting a long 1.5 hours patiently, I bought doughnuts and coffee for these hard workers. I was shocked at how people swarmed around these lab techs every time they called our numbers. I felt sorry for them for having to contend with all of us who think we need to be first. In society, we need to slow down and relax. Enjoy life. Give the front-line workers a break. Our needs aren’t before others. Remember that.

Anyway, I was watching people. In particular, a beautiful young parent with a toddler.

That parent was on a handheld device that entire time with intensity and hushing the child when the child tried to talk to his/her parent. The child ran his/her hand through the parent’s hair and touched the parent with no response. (I am thankful I didn’t have the technology there is today and therefore had to actually interact with my children. Today they are confident young adults.) The child became restless and was only pacified when allowed to hold the handheld device and play on it. Good grief.

What has society become? We lack basic interaction necessary to love and be loved.

There is no evolution with this basic need.

And for older adults, we have become part of an ungrateful rat race thinking our needs are above others at the cost of the hard-working front-line workers. Stop and appreciate those around you and what you have. Parents, start banishing yourselves from your phones while your child is learning to talk and walk and learning about the surroundings. Just an opinion. Thank you for reading.

Access is an issue with escalator outage Dear Editor I recently wrote to Metrotown management about the escalator outage at the transit loop. As you probably know, one of the escalators has been out of service for more than seven months. This forces transit users to squeeze into the narrow staircase of a single escalator as they rush between SkyTrain and buses. It is particularly hard on the elderly and others who have difficulty with stairs.

In their reply, Metrotown claimed that they are waiting for parts for the escalators. They would have us believe that there is a global escalator parts shortage and that every broken escalator in North America has been broken for six months. Metrotown suggests that transit users make a detour through the mall to use an indoor escalator, thus demonstrating that Metrotown has no idea what it means to have mobility problems.

Metrotown and its tenants derive substantial benefit from the location of a transit loop on its property and a SkyTrain station across the street. These bring business both from people coming to the mall via transit to shop, and from transit users picking up things they need as they pass through the bus loop on their way to or from work.

Metrotown should show some respect for its customers and do its part to contribute to the functioning of one of the Lower Mainland’s busiest transit centres.

TRENDING

Burnaby politicians react to pipeline story, and readers weigh in bill smith I am inclined to believe the NP story. I see the same scenario all the time in business. The admin wants a new computer system, sales wants a bigger budget and the ability to offer much lower prices, production wants more people and equipment... and they all insist it has to be now and it has to be top-of-the-line..... promote any of them to senior management and presto, within 6 months, they start thinking with big-picture common sense... Trudeau has been in long enough now to see the writing on the wall. Trudeau started conditioning the population from day one. It was never that a ‘Harper’ pipeline has been defeated.. no, from day one, Trudeau has criticized the previous government only for not being able to get pipelines approved.

As well, opposition and sitting politicians have totally different talking points. Take Adrian Dix for example. He was adamantly against pipelines until he assumed that he would be coronated as premier.,, then he flip-flopped.

Alberta’s Notley is another example... she and much of her staff were anti-oil activists until they got elected. Now, Notley, despite being an NDP member, is the most pro-pipeline premier in all of Canada.

Thea Pierrot It may well be true that Trudeau has been convinced that his economic targets can’t be met without approving the pipelines but that is not the same thing as saying Trudeau has decided to approve them.

School district server had a technical issue

Continued from page 1 everyone a chance to be on equal footing with Burnaby public school students come online registration day, he said.

But that’s missing the point, according to Wong and other independent school parents, who say local students shouldn’t have to compete for spots with students from outside of Burnaby.

“I think if you don’t live in Burnaby and you don’t live in the country, you should have to wait till people that actually live in the city are able to regis-

ter,”Wong said. “That just makes sense to me.”

Wong also suspects opening online registration to everyone at the same time crashed the online system Monday and jammed the district’s phone lines.

“It’s just common sense,” she said. “You let all those people on there and the system’s not going to be able to handle it … They should have staggered it.”

After a couple of server crashes on Monday, the district announced all further summer school registration would be delayed until April 25, and a notice on the dis-

trict website instructs parents not to call the summer session office to register.

“Our online server had a technical issue when we opened up online registration,” Bombelli said, “and I think that caused a whole lot of people who were not able to get on the website to phone, and it flooded our phone system … People were upset because it flood-

People were upset because it flooded the system ed the system to the point that you just couldn’t get through and then it filled

But Bombelli said it’s doubtful the new pre-registration system was to blame for the crashes.

Look no further than Taco Fest 2016.

The daylong event is coming to Burnaby on Saturday, July 16 and will feature a yet-to-be released plethora of taco vendors, including Mexican restaurants and food trucks. Organizers have also promised libations, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.Twenty musical acts will also be at the event providing entertainment throughout the day and into the evening.

This is the second year for the tortilla-celebrating festival.

Last year, organizers Apocalypse Sunrise put on a smaller event at a club in Vancouver. It featured one vendor and lots of music, and the turnout was overwhelming – between 1,500 and 2,000 people showed up to grab a bite, said Johnny Matter, president of Apocalypse Sunrise.

“It was a hit in one way, but it was also a learning experience in another,” he said. “So this year, we decided to do it full on outdoors (and) add more vendors.”

On the subject of vendors, Matter wouldn’t say which food trucks or restaurants have signed up to be part of the second annual event. He plans to keep the vendor list under wraps for another month or so while he finalizes everything.

As for the move to Burnaby, Matter said Swangard Stadium is the “perfect” location for the event.

City now ‘It’s almost like nature is doing what nature does’ Stoney Creek environment committee has spotted coho fry in Burnaby creek damaged last fall Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

At first, the worst was feared when a construction mishap caused a series of washouts along a tributary of Stoney Creek last fall in Burnaby.

But nearly six months later, coho fry are being spotted in the creek, and hopes are high from local streamkeepers that eventually the waterway will make a complete recovery.

“It’s a very pleasant miracle,” said John Templeton, the chair of the Stoney Creek environment committee. “Thankfully, when I saw those fish last week, I was like ‘Wow, this is unbelievable.’”

He also explained thanks to rains through the winter, some of the areas that were inundated with sand and sediment along the creek are starting to clear, which is also good news for the

creek.

“It’s almost like nature is doing what nature does,” Templeton said.

The challenge for returning fish is if the eggs get coated in the sediment, it creates a barrier where oxygen doesn't get into the developing eggs, essentially choking them.

The saga began on Oct. 31 when a construction mishap led to a series of events that eventually forced a large amount of sediment into the creek and put the fish habitat in the waterway at risk.

During the rehabilitation of a culvert on a Stoney Creek tributary, an A.C. Paving employee who was maintaining a filter screen on a pump at the construction site got his boot sucked into the inlet hose of the pump.

City staff had originally suggested heavy rains prior to the original incident on

Oct. 30 were the cause of the failure and subsequent sediment damage.

The city had undertaken the project in the first place after crews and Stoney Creek streamkeeper members noticed the beginning of some creek bank erosion near the outlet of the Stoney Creek Tributary 3A culvert under Gaglardi Way in the fall of 2014.

In the weeks and months following the October incident, city engineers began working on a remediation plan. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) also got involved, directing the city to provide a fall/winter site management plan to ensure no further impacts to fish and fish habitat occur.

The federal agency also wanted a restoration plan to restore identified fish habitat to previous conditions, an implementation schedule and a monitoring plan.

ComingApril 27th

In an email to the NOW last week, the DFO noted “the City of Burnaby is continuing to work towards meeting requirements to mitigate or remedy adverse effects to fish and fish habitat as outlined in the letter

from DFO.These requirements are legally binding.”

While Templeton said there is still plenty of work to be done to get the creek back to the condition prior to the washout, he’s happy to see an improvement.

And he’s hopeful as long as the DFO is involved, the creek will make full recovery and the city’s remediation plans will be carried out.

James Grunau Occupation REFUGEE ADVOCATE Why is he in the news?

One refugee advocate wants to change the way the public and the media view asylum seekers living in Metro Vancouver.

The NOW’s Tanya Commisso spoke with James Grunau, executive director of refugee assistance group Journey Home Community Association, following a speech he gave to the Rotary Club of Vancouver, entitled, So What Can A Refugee Contribute?

Journey Home Community Association began life in late 2005 as a small operation with a low budget, funded mostly by the donations of a few volunteers, and a board of three people.

In those first days, the group’s website notes it was helping a handful of

You consider the “refugee world” to have changed over the last six to eight months. How would you describe that change?

I think Canada has recovered its refugee heart.When the image appeared on the global scene of the child on the Turkish beach, I think it caught everyone’s attention, certainly. It caused Canadians to identify with the refugee crisis in a stronger way.

So that, in conjunction with the election in Canada, created an environment for a much more positive stance towards refugees and an opening of our doors and our borders in a much deeper way, particularly to the Syrian refugees, but that has had a spillover effect to refugees in general.

refugee families. Now, it has expanded its vision to help meet the needs of hundreds of refugees who claim asylum in this part of Canada each year.

The group helps about 12 to 16 new families per year with transitional housing, finding them apartments in Burnaby and New Westminster, and has supported more than 40 more families with resettlement assistance and their move to more permanent housing.

It also has numerous volunteer teams who work alongside families to offer them support in their journeys.

For more on the organization and its work, see www. journeyhomecommunity.ca.

REACHING OUT James Grunau is the executive director of the Journey Home Community Association, which has a mission to help newly arrived refugees claiming asylum in Canada. PHOTO NOW FILES

So even though we as Journey Home Community don’t work too much directly with sponsored refugees – either government or privately sponsored, we work with refugee claimants – that goodwill and awareness of the refugee crisis and refugee needs has spilled over to all of Canada’s refugee serving agencies and has created a much more positive environment.

Why do you think there isn’t a lot of talk around what a refugee can positively contribute to the community?

It’s so easy to stereotype refugees as being needy and victims and not having much to offer in the way of resources – which, in certain ways, is true.

They don’t have in the way of monetary resources when the come, they have been victimized in some ways, and been persecuted, absolutely, but they have

much to bring and offer.

How can refugees counter the radicalization process?

I can give two examples of former refugees who have been a part of Journey Home Community that have helped to counter radicalization.

The first person I spoke about [during my speech] was Abdul. He’s a well-respected Islamic scholar, but of the moderate wing of Islam – and of course that didn’t go down well with the radical Islamic element in his part of the world, as you can well imagine.

He came to Canada and has had a positive refugee determination. Now, he’s been invited by the government of his home country to assist them in a number of ways.

He reports to the country’s president’s chief of staff, he’s been invited to help prepare curriculum for

Islamic teaching in schools to reflect a more moderate element into the curriculum and he has written articles to reinterpret some of the radical elements of the Quran. He believes freedom of religion is a human right and should be granted to everyone, which is not the common view of very fundamental and conservative Muslims.

I think Canada has recovered its refugee heart

The second example I gave was of Sayed from Pakistan. He’s been in Canada for a good number of years now and has become a Canadian citizen.

He worked as a senior project consultant for various NGOs in Pakistan. He has served as a chief of staff for

both the vice president and the minister of foreign affairs in his home country.

And he’s represented his nation as a political councilor at the United Nations in NewYork.

He’s recently been concerned with how to combat Islamic radicalization. So him and a colleague in another western country have developed a concept paper on strategizing some ways to address the issue of radicalization.

He believes that, and I quote: “there is compelling evidence that outdated cultural practices and Islamic radicalization has collectively perpetuated violence throughout many societies around the world.” And so they are designing and proposing a web of education program for preschool, elementary and secondary school, to be designed as private, but not-for-profit.The also want to establish a higher standard of educa-

tion and vigorous research programs and publication of a monthly social and family magazine.

So, my point is here are two people from a country that is strongly Muslim, but are former refugees who have recognized the need to not only have humanitarian assistance in these areas, but to address the refugee crisis at the root cause level.

What would your response be to those who believe refugees will perpetuate radicalization?

My response would be that there’s always a perceived fear, and we can easily tend to focus on the possibilities of what could occur, rather than looking at and focusing on the very wonderful people that do arrive and these (Abdul and Sayed) are only two examples of people from a Muslim country that actually have the same kinds of Continued on page 12

BIRDWATCHING

WE’RE CHATTING WITH ...

Neill Vanhinsberg, local librarian and avid birdwatcher TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EVENT We’re basically going to stroll around the park and see what we can see in terms of birds. It’s April and it will be the height of migration. There’s a pretty good chance we’ll see lots of migrants. Burnaby Central Park is considered a migrant trap.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BIRDWATCHING? I’ve been birdwatching since I was a kid. Since I was eight or so.

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT? I don’t know (laughs). I just do. I find birds really

fascinating. It sort of connects us with the natural world, which is happening less and less these days with people.

WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? I think development without thought for what happens to the environment is not a good thing. People become disconnected from the natural world. They don’t see any point except maybe going camping in it once a year, and without it we’re really doomed.

EVENT DETAIL: The birdwatching walk runs through Central Park, Friday, April 29, 9 to 11 a.m.

Meet at the Metrotown library branch, 6100 Willingdon Ave. Free, but register at 604-436-5400.

Working to raise awareness of refugee issues Continued from page 11 concerns and are contributing to counter the terrorism and the radicalization that goes on. So let’s focus our energies on supporting and encouraging these kinds of strong initiatives. I think these aren’t often the kinds of (initiatives) that make the news.

You said that although there seems to be a bit of a spotlight on the refugee crisis as of recently, asylum seekers (or refugee claimants) are often forgotten. Could you expand on that a bit?

If we were looking at the MetroVancouver area, apart from the current influx of refugees through the Syrian sponsorship program, typically, Metro Vancouver would receive 800 to 900 government-sponsored refugees annually.

But, Metro Vancouver also receives about a thousand asylum seekers, or refugee claimants, annually.

And [refugee claimants] don’t have any large organizing body or agency to coordinate assistance and help for them.They’re kind of left to fend for themselves and find their own way, because there isn’t federal funding for settlement of refugee claimants.

What can be done to

increase the awareness of refugee claimants coming into Canada?

We’re actually seeking some funding to increase that awareness and to engage with community

groups and church groups that want to provide support and settlement for refugee claimants and sponsor a family.

Giro di Burnaby going strong after 10 years Race set to return to the Heights on July 14 Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It’s been 10 years since North Burnaby held the first Giro di Burnaby, and a decade on, the cycling race is just as strong as ever.

The race returns to its usual Burnaby Heights stomping grounds on July 14, as party of the Super Week series, a collection of cycling races around the region.

This year, the city is bracing for 10,000 spectators to line the course along Hastings Street to cheer on the riders.

Giro organizer Rainy Kent said planning for this year’s event is well underway, but she doesn’t expect any significant changes for the race.

Instead, it will be business as usual for the premier event in the neighbourhood.

“How we’ve seen the race develop since 2006 is huge,” she told the NOW. Kent noted every year since the start, the event has taken steps to get buyin from the businesses in the area, to the point now where she said merchants are embracing the race.

“It’s kind of a celebration day around some pretty amazing bike racing,” she said.

If you’re new to the race, The Giro di Burnaby comprises a single cycling event, open to male and female cyclists competing for a total prize purse of over $15,000, collected from sponsorship.

The race consists of 30 laps of the 1.2-kilometre course for the women and 45 laps

for the men.

The race went on hiatus for two years in 2009 and 2010, but returned with renewed sponsor for 2011.

And the city is equally happy to have the race in North Burnaby.

We want it to have a very long life

Parks and recreation director Dave Ellenwood said the city sees the race as an economic boon and an opportunity to draw tourists into the community.

Along with Hats Off Day in June, he said the Giro has become a feature event for North Burnaby.

“This one as well is very important in the North Burnaby community,” he said, adding the event has full support from the local business improvement asso-

ciation.

With continued support from sole title sponsor Appia Development, both organizers and the city expect the race continue for years to come.

“We want it to have a very long life,” Ellenwood said. “I think it’s getting ingrained in the community where if it didn’t happen, they would wonder why.”

The women’s race will start at 6 p.m. and the men’s race will start at approximately 7:15 p.m. Hastings Street and the surrounding streets are required to be closed to local traffic from 4 to 10 p.m. with restricted parking in the immediate area beginning at 3 p.m.

A staff report asking for council to approve the road closures noted the 4 p.m. closure allows the large volunteer team the time required to set up the 8,000plus feet of required security fencing and ample time for the staging area to be moved into position.

Job program helps people with disabilities

Employment project offers one-on-one support to help people overcome obstacles and get into the workforce Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

A new program that aims to break down barriers for people with disabilities trying to enter the workforce is

now available in Burnaby.

The Employment Mentorship Support Project is run by ConnecTra Society and Metro Vancouver and offers people with disabilities one-on-one support to

get them into the workforce.

Its goal is to remove obstacles to work, education, training and social involvement often faced by people with disabilities, noted a press release.

Each community within Metro Vancouver is overseen by a community connector who also has a disability. In Burnaby, Jordan Cripps is the community connector. He’s currently recruiting participants and volunteers for the program.

“When you don’t have a job, you lose your con-

When you don’t have a job, you lose confidence fidence,” Cripps, who has spina bifida, said in a press release. “You can be apply-

ing for jobs for months and not hear anything, and it gets frustrating.This program gives people one-onone support, to multiply their efforts and take a more structured approach to finding work.”

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.

By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.

In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

today’sdrive 20 16 Chevrolet

Your journey starts here.

Cruze

Calling it a junior Malibu isn’t necessarily a bad thing

BY MALCOLM GUNN

www.wheelbasemedia.com

On paper, the second-generation Chevrolet Cruze that’s due out soon appears to have what it takes to remain near the top of the compact-car class. In the flesh, it’s better still, as you get the sense that the king-of-the-hill crown could be in sight.

That audacious suggestion can be fully supported by the small Chevy’s renewed sense of purpose, starting with an exterior that clearly points to a strong kinship with the equally new 2016 Malibu. Like its larger stable mate, the Cruze’s styling is less angular and slab-sided, especially with more dramatically shaped front fenders, door panels and rear deck. As a result, the sedan’s sheetmetal is now among the more elegant in the category and that includes some heavy hitters from Ford, Toyota, Hyundai and Honda.

The Cruze is about 7.5 centimetres longer with about a 1.3-centimetre gain between the front and rear wheels. The extended roofline has also been slightly lowered and contributes to a sleeker silhouette without sacrificing interior volume. The cabin is more spacious and the rear passenger area has slightly more legroom and five more centimetres of knee room. The interior has additional soft-touch material covering the dashboard, door panels and floor console.

Weight reduction has also been a major focus.

The Cruze has tightened its belt to the tune of

115 kilograms (for a total weight of about 1,320 kilograms) with an updated structure that has a higher percentage of aluminum.

Switching to an aluminum engine block from iron cuts the weight by 20 more kilograms while the transmission drops another 11. Similarly, the car’s suspension components have also slimed down.

For the time being, the engine line-up has been reduced to just a single offering.

The previous 138-horsepower 1.8-litre fourcylinder base engine has been jettisoned for a new turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder that produces 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. Compared to the previous 1.4-litre turbo engine (which was optional), that’s an increase of 15 horsepower and 29 pound-feet. The lighter, more powerful Cruze isn’t a racer, of course, but drivers will find it a much peppier performer.

Driven in a prudent manner, the Cruze is estimated to achieve 7.8 l/100 km in the city and 5.6 on the highway with the six-speed automatic transmission (a six-speed manual comes standard).

While it’s sad to see the muscular turbo-diesel depart, an all-new version is slated to arrive for the 2017 model year along with a hatchback model that’s a total jaw-dropper.

At this point it’s worth noting that Chevrolet

is keeping the previous Cruze around for the balance of the 2016 model year, labelling it the Cruze Limited (expect some good deals on this one).

Meanwhile, the sedan comes in four trim levels, starting with the L. At a base-price estimate of $18,000 (including destination charges), you get air conditioning, rear-view camera, 10 airbags plus a fair assortment of convenience items such as a seven-inch touch-screen and built-in WiFi hot spot that requires a subscription.

At the top end of the spectrum, the newly designated Premier is prepped with heated front and back leather-covered seats and a full range of infotainment, communications and crash-avoidance technology. A Premier-based RS package adds a unique grille and nose, fog lamps, chin spoiler, rocker panels, rear spoiler and 18inch wheels.

With an all-new Honda Civic sedan now out and a 2017 Hyundai Elantra arriving at about the same time as the new Cruze, Chevrolet will have to battle to earn your dollars. But with impressive looks, content and performance on its side, the Cruze is definitely a top contender.

What you should know 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Type: Engine (hp):

Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact sedan 1.4-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (153)

Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.)

Market position: With plenty of compact sedans to choose from, it’s

often difficult to tell one model from another. Chevrolet attempts to make the Cruze stand out with exemplary styling, potent engine and great fuel economy.

Points:

New-look sedan should create plenty of second glances; Standard four-cylinder turbo easily outperforms previous model; Nice to see you can still order a manual gearbox; Plenty of high-tech safety gear to be had; You might consider waiting a few more months for the sharplooking and more practical hatchback.

Active Safety:

Blind-zone and cross-traffic alerts (opt.); lane-keeping assist (opt.); forward collision alert (opt.)

L/100 km (city/hwy): 7.8/5.6 (AT); Base price (incl. destination) $18,000 (est.)

The free event runs from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 30 at the Ismaili Centre, 4010 Canada Way. Some light refreshments will be provided.

MOVERS & SHAKERS

Dispose of private documents safely at Vancity’s community shred-a-thon this Saturday.

Burnaby residents can stop by the Royal Oak branch at 6632 Royal Oak Ave. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and drop off documents for shredding.

The shred-a-thon is by donation, and the Royal Oak branch is collecting funds for the Burnaby Taskforce on Homelessness. “(Shredding is) a safe way to dispose of documents and ensure they don’t get into the wrong hands,” noted a press release.

Oh, and every ton of paper that gets recycled saves 17 trees, so really, shredding is a win-win for you and the environment.

Residents can also take part in a free seminar on protecting your identity at 11 a.m. at the Royal Oak branch.

Deer Lake Gallery opens new exhibit Artist Ann Tarnowski was on hand at the Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery on Saturday, April 16 for the opening of the new exhibition Harmony; Discord; Dessication.

Tarnowski’s mixed-media work, which combines oil painting and photography, explores humanity’s relationship to nature.

“Starting with harmony leading to discord and eventually to dessication, Tarnowski takes the viewer through a progression of man’s impact on the environment and inexorably on himself with this series of images,” a press release says.

Her artistic journey takes the viewer along as the human transforms from “peaceful to inexistent.”

“Her work enables the

viewer to imagine the eventual demise of man and to question whether or not we can reverse, half or at least slow the process,” the release notes.

Her work enables the viewer to imagine the eventual demise of man

The exhibition continues at the gallery until May 7.

The gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www. burnabyartscouncil.org for more information, or call 604-298-7322.

Communitynow FOOD

Welcome spring with fennel and mascarpone risotto IN THE KITCHEN editorial@burnabynow.com

As a chef, spring is my favourite season, so many inspiring vegetables becoming available at the farmers markets, which help create interesting flavors, colours, textures and techniques to our dining tables.

Italian Arborio rice makes the best risotto, and is now

available in most supermarkets, the key is to be patient and keep stirring the rice to develop the creaminess of the rice.

Pay attention not to overcook the rice as it will become mushy, the rice is best with a little bite to it.

Serves four to six.

INGREDIENTS 1tablespoon unsalted Butter

Spring delight: Ben Kiely’s spring risotto combines in-season vegetables with mascarpone cheese for a unique dish that serves four to six people. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Quality + Craftsmanship Craftsmanship + Location Location = ESCALA

rentwood has grown up.

Today, this is a sought-after neighbourhood with great outdoor cafes and fabulous shopping, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a historic business district, all within walking distance. This is where award-winning developer Ledingham McAllister chose for its newest development – Escala.

Imagine waking up each morning in your new home and looking out at a vibrant cityscape with unparalleled mountain, downtown and water views.

Designed by the world-renowned IBI Group Architects, Escala offers all that and more.

“This is Phase 2… we completed the first phase Aviara in the fall of 2015 to resounding success,” says George Wong, principal of Magnum Projects, which is marketing this project. “We have many first-time home buyers and emptynesters, and all said that this community delivers the highest-value luxury homes in Burnaby.”

Nestled in one of Burnaby’s most livable, fastest growing urban communities, Escala is an architecturally stunning 42-storey luxury high-rise glass tower, along with two West Coast contemporary low-rises called the Terra Collection, soaring against the backdrop of North Burnaby’s historic real estate district.

Escala and The Terra Collection combined is an exclusive collection of 520 high-end one bed plus den, two bed, two bed plus den and three bedroom condos and townhomes that is redefining both the North Burnaby landscape as well as superb luxury living.

Escala is bringing Yaletown-style homes to Burnaby. The amenities are world-class; they are attracting many a discerning buyer who appreciates the convenience and peace of mind of having a hotel-style lobby with concierge service – showcased by a marble entrance lined by striking water features

and a welcoming, overheight fireside lounge.

The exclusive glass-and-concrete homes offer two looks – traditional sophistication or modern, light and vivacious. These residences, ranging from 660 to over 1,600 square feet, feature air-conditioning in highrise homes only, open floor plans, durable 32-ounce nylon carpeting in all bedrooms, high end laminate flooring throughout the main living space, deluxe roller-blind window coverings throughout, spacious walk-in or walk-through closet with shelving in master bedroom and oversized covered balconies or patios. The nine-foot ceilings and expansive windows provide an airy, naturally bright home that offers sweeping downtown, mountain and water views.

The gourmet kitchen was designed to inspire with its Caesarstone countertops, contemporary tile backsplash, energyefficient, stainless-steel appliances, and a premium Kohler “Strive” under-mount, deep double-bowl sink.

Homeowners will also have access to their own 15,000-square-foot private resort-style amenities centre, Club Escala, highlighted by an indoor pool, spa, yoga and pilates studio, steam room, sauna, fully equipped fitness centre, party room, music room, theatre, billiards, ping pong, guest suites, a fireside social lounge, as well as a landscaped outdoor terrace with barbecue facilities. “It’s a level of features and finishes that is unprecedented in Burnaby,” adds Wong.

This is truly the height of refined urban living in one of Burnaby’s finest postal codes. At Escala, every detail has been carefully planned to offer superiority and affordable living spaces. Public previews begin on Saturday, April 23 at Escala’s presentation centre, located at 1710 Gilmore Ave at noon sharp.

The real scoop: Five fitness myths debunked Shaun Karp KEEPING FIT

editorial@burnabynow.com

Fitness info is spouted everywhere: on blogs, in magazines, and even as part of new gym memberships.

But have you ever wondered whether some exercise “facts” are actually falsities?

Find out now as we debunk these five common fitness myths.

MYTH NO. 1: NO PAIN, NO GAIN Pain is not required for a successful workout.

A little “good pain” is to be expected, especially at first, but it shouldn’t limit your ability to perform everyday tasks.

If you find yourself unable to walk or to sit down after exercise, you probably went overboard and should re-examine your routine.

Of course, you may experience some minor muscle pain if you are new to exercise or if you try a novel workout.

But don’t ignore one-sided pain, as this may be a sign of injury or poor technique.

Just remember: start slowly to avoid injuring yourself.

MYTH NO. 2: MUSCLE TURNS TO FAT WHEN YOU STOP WORKING OUT This old myth is like turning gold into brass.The re-

The most important thing is to listen to your body

ality is that you actually lose muscle size when you stop exercising. And your metabolism will also start to slow down, which then increases fatigue and contributes to weight gain.

If you stop exercising and keep eating the same amount, you are likely to gain weight. But not the good kind!

MYTH NO. 3: I’M TOO OLD TO START EXERCISING No one is “too old” to start working out.

Indeed, it becomes even more important to stay active as you age.

This is because exercise plays a significant role in preventing age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Plus, it will improve your balance and reduce your risk of falling.

If you are concerned about pain, remember that the pool is always an option.

MYTH NO. 4: PREGNANT WOMEN CAN’T WORK OUT This couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, exercise usually makes for better pregnancies. Not only does it improve comfort, it may even lead to a shorter and less complicated labour.

If you are a pregnant woman wanting to work on your abs, you should be able to do so up until your third trimester as long as you remain upright.

It also helps to have a

heart rate monitor so you can stay in tune with how hard you are working. Many doctors suggest keeping your heart rate below 140 beats per minute when exercising while pregnant.

The most important thing is to listen to your body.

MYTH NO. 5: RUNNERS DON’T NEED WEIGHT TRAINING

Running is great for burning calories, but it doesn’t provide everything that a healthy body needs.

To round out your running routine, you should also add some strength training.

Why? For one thing, building muscle speeds the metabolism so you burn more calories when at rest.

Plus, strengthening can cor-

rect any muscle imbalances you may have. And this isn’t even to mention that it increases bone density to decrease the risk of stress fractures.

Lakers bulk up in acquiring Langley twins

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Lakers believe size matters.

For a B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League team, that one component can play a big role when the hill to climb is so huge.

With one move, the team that finished last in 2015 grew by nearly a foot and packed on a lot of weight in preparation for the start of the 2016 season.

Burnaby shipped sniper Mitch McDole to the Langley Thunder for a handful of players, including second-year junior Con-

nor McNeil and 19-year-old twins Parker and Pearson Willis.

The trade also netted the Lakers intermediate-aged Kalien Corona and Tyler Smith.

McNeil counted three goals and four assists in seven games with Langley last season, while the Willis siblings showed good hands during their first full junior season.

Parker Willis counted 10 goals and 19 assists in 19 games as a rookie, while Pearson Willis tallied seven goals and 17 assists over 18 games. As to size, Parker stands 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, while Pearson is 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds.

All three are lefthanders.

“They are big boys,” said Lakers general manager Brad Hara. “Size was an important consideration, but it wasn’t the only thing we were looking for.”

McNeil, a native of Chilliwack, was the fourth overall choice in the 2014 BCJALL midget draft.Two months ago, he was voted the MVP in the u18 tier 1 provincial field lacrosse final as he helped Langley top Coquitlam for the gold.

The Willises currently attend Ottawa University in Ottawa, KS as freshmen, joining fellow junior Lakers Damon Prince and

Fox Nahanee, the latter who became property of Burnaby in a swap last month.

McDole was second in team scoring with 24 goals and 27 assists over 15 games as a freshman, after leading the Intermediate A circuit in scoring in 2014.

“He was a tough guy to give up but we were getting five solid players, young players, in return,” said Hara. “I think the players we acquired will replace (McDole’s) offence, and what we’ve added to the organization is size and depth.”

The season kicks off May 1 when Delta visits the Bill Copeland Sports Complex.

Burnaby edges PoMo to punch Coastal Cup ticket Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

With a bit of a history between the two, the Coastal A Cup semifinal was guaranteed to be a battle.

A battle the Burnaby Metro Select FC would take to the bank.

League rivals all year long, Burnaby and the regular season champion Port Moody Selects had met two times previously during the year, with the results a 1-1 tie and a 1-0 Port Moody win. But with both Provincial and Coastal cup berths on the line, Saturday’s test was a whole new ball game.

The under-15 boys Selects traded kicks and possession with their Port Moody rivals through a spirited affair, eventually copping a ticket to the Coastal championship final on the strength of a 2-1 overtime victory.

Striker Richard Culleton demonstrated his marksmenship with two brilliant goals in the road win, including the game-winner off a penalty kick with seconds remaining in the final 10-minute overtime session.

He scored on a breakaway in the first half, which ended with Burnaby up 1-0. Port Moody drew even minutes into the second half off a penalty kick, setting the stage for extra time.

Deadlocked after regulation, the two teams went through one scoreless extra period and nearly a second one with less than a minute before a shootout when a good scoring chance was turned into a penalty kick.

Culleton, who shook off a knock suffered in the first extra session, returned to the field with a handful of minutes to play and would get an opportunity to end it.

Taking a pass through the middle with one defender to beat, Culleton was brought down and handed one shot to finish it. He didn’t miss.

Port Moody pressed frantically for the equalizer and moved the ball into Burnaby’s zone before

the final whistle sounded, sending Burnaby into next week’s Coastal Cup final against Vancouver Santos.

That game, which will take place in Aldergrove, pits Burnaby against the No. 8-team in regular season play. In their two league encounters, the results were 0-0 and 2-1 for Burnaby.

METRO GIRLS ROLL TO FINAL For most members of the Burnaby Metro girls u18 Selects this is the last hurrah, so they are going to make it last as long as possible.

With all but two players set to leave the minor soccer ranks due to graduation, the squad has set its

sights on a few big prizes.

Already crowned as the regular season select champions after going 14-1-1, Burnaby added a Coastal A Cup final spot to its check list.

The soccer team extended its run to the Coastal final – along with a berth to the Provincials in July – by clipping Surrey-Guildford 3-1 in their semifinal match last week.

Gordic. Burnaby’s third tally came off the foot of u16 call-up Gabbi Zenone, who displayed some nice finish from the shortside.

Surrey closed the gap with a late marker but the game was virtually in the bag.

Turning in a stellar effort at centre-back was captain Ana Lukic.

LATE TALLY PROPELS BURNABY Timing is everything, but even sometimes it seems to get a little too close for comfort.

The Burnaby Metro boys u13 FC were staring at penalty kicks before striker Joey Cannova delivered the winning strike in a thrilling 1-0 triumph over Langley to

advance to the Coastal A Cup championship final.

The win also secured a spot at the Provincal Cup tournament.

Cannova’s goal came against the flow of play, when a Langley miscue on their own 18-yard line and a slick pass from Haniel Cruz, presented the sure-footed shooter with the ball at the edge of the crease. Cannova made one deke and slid the ball into the far corner.

“We didn’t want to go to penalty shots, that’s for sure,” said head coach Matt Manfredi. “We’re a good team in penalty shots, but you never know. Langley played Continued on page 37

Metro Waters leads SFU to first GNAC golf title blanks Langley Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Continued from page 36 extremely well.”

The game ended after a dramatic corner kick by Langley was turned back.

Burnaby’s best scoring opportunity in the first half was a breakaway that saw Caleb Johnson label the ball for the far corner only to have Langley’s goalkeeper come up with a tremendous toe save.

At the other end, Harrison Port was rock-solid in holding Langley off the scoresheet, while the midfield tandem of Luke Aleong and Davi Cruz put up a determined front.

In Coastal B Cup action, the Burnaby girls u15 Blaze delivered a strong effort only to fall 2-0 to Powell River.

Despite holding an edge in play, Burnaby was unable to beat the rival netminder while Powell River converted a pair of corner kicks.

The Blaze will play Langley with a berth to the provincials on the line.

It took a playoff hole, but Simon Fraser University’s Michelle Waters sank a birdie putt to finish first and lead her team to the 2016 Great Northwest Athletic Conference women’s golf championship in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

A sophomore from Qualicum Beach,Waters shook off a tough second day which saw her swing from Monday’s low round of 3-over par to a plus-6 on Tuesday, drawing into a dead-heat with Saint Martin’s Jennifer Liedes.

In the lead for the first time on the university circuit,Waters couldn’t hold back a furious charge by the St. Martin’s senior, who began the final day in 14th place but rose to a tie for top spot with a tourney-low even-par.

That took the individual women’s title to a playoff on the course’s par-5, 499-yard first hole.

On in four,Waters drained a sixfoot birdie putt, while Liedes, the 2015 GNAC co-golfer of the year, salvaged a shot from in the trees with a strong chip shot to land eight feet from the hole. Her birdie attempt ran too long.

“Honestly I have never been in that situation before,” said Waters.

“I led on the first day and I had

never been in that spot, either, so leading up to the playoff I was very nervous on the first tee.”

She finished the two-day tourney at 9-over 151 (74, 77).

SFU claimed the team title with an eight-stroke advantage over Western Washington, 617 to 625.

The Clan pulled away in the final three holes to compile a GNAC record two-round team score of 617 and win the program’s first team championship.

It also ended a string of five straight titles for Western Washington, dating back to the start of GNAC women’s golf in 2011.

“The second day it was kind of new for us (leading), a position we’d never been in before,” remarked St.Thomas More alumna and fellow sophomore Breanna Croxen. “We were a little nervous but we knew we had a good chance at breaking Western Washington’s six-peat bid.”

Tied for third overall was SFU’s Kylie Jack, who recovered from an opening round of 8-over 79 to shoot 3-over 74 and place two shots back of the co-leaders.

Despite reflecting some of the nervousness the team had felt entering the final round,Waters withstood the pressure of the playoff to stay on track, said Croxen.

“The playoff was pretty excit-

GNAC

ing,” Croxen noted. “They were neck-and-neck and basically had similar lies after their first shots...

(Waters) sank her birdie shot and we were super-excited for her, pouring water on her. “(Waters) is one of our hardest working players on our team, so it was great to see that rewarded.”

Croxen finished in a tie for 10th with teammate Belinda Lin at 158. Lin was consistent over both rounds, firing identical 79s; Croxen began the final round tied for second overall after an opening 76 but struggled on Day 2 with an 82.

Finishing tied for 18th was SFU’s Emily Leung, after two-day total of 160 (81, 79).

CLAN , CRISOLOGO COME IN 3RD Chris Crisologo set the tone, finishing third overall and help Simon Fraser University place third at the GNAC men’s golf championships in Coeur d’Alene, ID. The defending team champions, SFU trailed Western Washington by 22 strokes.

Crisologo was five strokes back of the individual winner, after a three-day total of 5-under 208.
