CITY HAS FOURTH HIGHEST RATE IN LOWER MAINLAND

Working poor would fill stadium – twice

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

You would have to fill Swangard Stadium more than twice to account for the number of working poor in Burnaby.Those are the numbers from a new study trying to shed light on the growing problem in Metro Vancouver and recommending action to deal with

the issue.

The study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives found the number of working poor has increased between 2006 and 2012 across the region.

However, in Burnaby, the number of working poor over the same time period remained flat, dipping to 9.4 per cent in 2012 from 9.6 per cent in 2006.

But at 9.4 per cent, the working poverty rate is still fourth highest in the region behind Richmond,Vancouver and Greater Vancouver Electoral Area A.The study estimates there are 11,110 working poor individuals living in Burnaby.

The study’s author, Iglika Ivanova, said governments and business leaders often claim the way to deal with

... 60 per cent of the working poor are aged 30 to 54 poverty is to create more jobs, but she suggested the number of people working but not able to lift out of poverty means the econom-

ic system isn’t working.

“We have a problem when working is no longer a guaranteed path out of poverty,” she told the NOW. In Burnaby, 60 per cent of the working poor are aged 30 to 54, and 43 per cent have children. A breakdown shows the largest number of working poor are in the South Burnaby and Metrotown area of the city.

The median individual income (before tax) of Metro Vancouver’s working poor was $15,040 in 2012.

Ivanova also argued the growing rate of working poor is creating problems for the future, while a lot of money is being spent dealing with the consequences of poverty, in places like health care and policing.

What does Enbridge decision mean for us?

Federal court of appeal ruling finds the government of Canada failed to adequately consult with First Nations

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A federal court of appeal decision to quash approval for the Enbridge pipeline could mean the City of Burnaby will have to file another court challenge against Kinder Morgan’s expansion once the process moves further along.

Last Thursday’s ruling found the government of Canada failed to adequately consult with First Nations. According to Greg McDade, a lawyer for the

City of Burnaby, the decision has shed some light on an important legal question: At what step in the approval process does one challenge a pipeline decision? So far, Burnaby and other parties have been filing challenges over the NEB’s recommendation, but that’s not the final step.

“One of the decisions (today’s ruling) decided is you can’t bring a judicial review at this point.You have to wait for the Governor in Council’s decision,” he said.

“What the court holds is

that you can only file one, and that’s at the end of the process.”

On June 17, the City of Burnaby filed an application with the Federal Court of Appeal asking for a judicial review of the National Energy Board’s recommendation to approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project.The City of Vancouver, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and the Squamish Nation all filed similar applications challenging the NEB’s decision.

But the NEB doesn’t

All of these decisions have to be made in light of the fact that First Nations have constitutional status ... have the final say on the pipeline.That comes later, likely in December, from federal cabinet, expressed formally as a decision by the Governor in Council. So far,Vancouver, Burnaby and local First Nations have appealed at the NEB level, but they will likely need to chal-

lenge the government’s final decision if the Liberals choose to move ahead with Kinder Morgan.

Last week’s Enbridge decision will likely be appealed at the Supreme Court of Canada, McDade said.

“We may have to wait to see what the next level

says,” McDade added. “If this decision is right, and it may very well be, the City of Vancouver and all these First Nations still have a case, they just have to wait. … That was an open question in the law before. Nobody really knew.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan was happy to hear the news but noted cities don’t have nearly the same clout as First Nations when it comes to legal challenges against pipelines.

That irony is not lost on me that a city of a quarter of a million people doesn’t have the ability to get the attention of the courts as well as a First Nation…” he said.

“It’s always the difficulty in our system of cities with the

It’s really the ace up our sleeve, as cities can’t do much responsibilities we have being the low man on the totem pole.”

Corrigan said the courts have repeatedly rejected Burnaby’s attempts to up-

hold its bylaws, but if First Nations aren’t properly consulted, it can overturn an entire process.

“It’s really the ace up our sleeve, as cities can’t do much but First Nations can and will,” he said.

When asked if the First Nations, Burnaby and Vancouver get together to coordinate their anti-pipeline efforts, Corrigan said their lawyers are all in touch with each other.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

When politicians come home to roost The political battle over what to do about the Lower Mainland’s housing crisis is starting to shape up as one of defining issues facing voters in the long run-up to next spring’s provincial election.

In the past week, the NDP called for an independent task force to crack down on money laundering, fraud and tax evasion it says are contrib-

uting to skyrocketing real estate prices.

Interestingly, that happened the same week a Chinese bank filed a civil claim against a Vancouverarea man, alleging he took out close to $10 million in loans before skipping the country and sinking the money into Lower Mainland real estate.

And, reacting to a report about shady real es-

The government is late to the party, but the move is welcome tate practices, the Liberals revoked the industry’s self-governing status. Having foxes stationed at the henhouse door had been

introduced by the Liberal government a number of years earlier under the guise of “red tape cutting.”

But that was back when the housing market had more to do with homes for people to live in, rather than a commodity to be traded on spec.The government is late to the party, but the move is welcome and needed.

Cleaning up the indus-

try is one thing. Cooling the scorching market is another.

The NDP has proposed a series of measures aimed at curbing the influence of speculators and foreign capital.The Liberals have put forward a few smaller tweaks but largely chosen to sidestep that elephant in the room, telling municipalities to approve more development proj-

ects.

Expect to hear plenty more about it from both sides as they come knocking on your door this summer, looking to make sure your vote has a home with them.

– Guest editorial from the North Shore News COMMENT ON THIS AT

Burnabynow.com

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Six issues that sway B.C. vote The next provincial election is just 10 months away, and a handful of issues seem to be emerging as the ones that may have the biggest impact on the vote’s outcome.These are the ones getting more media coverage – and therefore are being put in front of the voters to a greater extent – than others. The list may change in the months ahead, of course, but for now these are the Top Six: MEGAPROJECTS: Both the Site C dam and the Massey Bridge are highly controversial and neatly provide a contrast between the two major parties.The B.C. Liberals, of course, are enthusiastic backers of both projects while the NDP opposes the dam and is critical of the bridge to replace the aging Massey Tunnel.

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY: While not a provincewide issue, it is a big one in Metro Vancouver, where seven B.C. Liberal-held ridings could tip the NDP’s way if enough voters think the B.C. government isn’t doing enough to address the lack of affordable housing in the region. After taking her time, Premier Christy Clark seems to have hit upon a game plan on this front.

She has 10 months to earn credibility on this issue, and so far she’s been upstaged

by NDP housing critic David Eby. K-12 EDUCATION: There’s a lot of noise be-

ing made in the education arena, but it’s not clear whether it will translate to having a big impact on the election. Most voters don’t have children in the school system and voter turnout during school board elections is notoriously low.

Nevertheless, passions run high in this area, so it’s one to keep an eye on.

RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT: Another wedge issue between the pro-development B.C. Liberals and the mostly anti-development NDP. It’s another issue that plays differently outside of Metro Vancouver than within urban areas, and it should solidify the B.C. Liberals’ hold on its up-country seats.

CRIME: It’s a big issue in a vital battleground area: Surrey, where there will now be nine ridings up for grabs (an addition of one). At least two of those ridings could swing to either party.

LEADERSHIP: Premier Christy Clark is well-known, of course, and is a polarizing figure. Her counterpart, NDP leader John Horgan, is not well known and needs to prove himself.This can be both an opportunity or a landmine for Horgan.The B.C. Liberals will be trying hard to define him along very negative lines, so Horgan has to work hard to define himself along terms he’s comfortable with.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Veterans deserve best quality of care

Parents want answers on money returned to Burnaby schools

Dear Editor Re: Veterans’ care home laying off nurses, Burnaby NOW, June 24. I am very concerned about the latest news of the imminent layoff of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses at the George Derby Centre.

My father did not want to leave his accommodation in his seniors’ apartment where he enjoyed his independence. At the age of 97, however, he could not manage the complex needs related to aging and was glad to find a welcoming place where the staff were able to assist him with his care, while respecting his service to our country as a Second World War veteran.

Since he passed away two years ago, I understand that the therapy departments (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, art therapy, music therapy, recreation therapy) and the social work department have had major staff reductions. As a retired occupation therapist, I understand the need to encourage and maintain resident independence in challenging circumstances. This cannot be accomplished with minimal professional staffing.

The residents’ care will be further compromised when nurses are replaced by staff who have no history with them and who are paid less to do such a demanding and important occupation.

The article mentions possibly cutting costs related to food and laundry. If so, there will be little reason for residents to be motivated to get up every day! The residents have always been given a choice of foods and staff have always ensured they are clean and presentable in their own clothes – two very important anchors of daily routines.

I reiterate – those who end up living in such a facility are not there by choice but by need.

We need to respect these individuals and the circumstances that have led to their decreased independence. I feel that we are failing our veterans and civilian residents by providing them with a warehouse and not a caring, supportive, encouraging environment.

Laurie Misshula, Burnaby

Time to reinstate free ferry travel for seniors Dear Editor Re: City senior groups get fed bucks, Burnaby NOW, June 29.

Burnaby Community Services’ executive director Stephen D’Souza has expressed interest in gathering ideas for using the money to help senior citizens access transit services.

I would like to suggest that some effort be made to reinstate the free weekday passenger service for seniors on the B.C. Ferries. This would enable more grandparents to visit their children, grandchildren and others who live across the water from them.

After all, it was their generation who dreamed the dream and built it, to have such a beautiful ferry system as part of B.C. Highways.

How about showing a little warm-hearted thanks for all this?

Perhaps contributions could be matched by the different levels of government locally.

City now Where do the working poor live?

Where are the working poor? A report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives lists the rates of working poverty by municipality in Metro Vancouver.

Here is the ranking of all Metro Vancouver municipalities, from highest rates of working poverty to lowest.

1. Richmond 2. Greater Vancouver Elec-

toral Area A 3. Vancouver 4. Burnaby 5. Surrey 6. North Vancouver 7. Bowen Island 8. Coquitlam 9. New Westminster 10. West Vancouver 11. Langley 12. White Rock 13. Lions Bay 14. Port Coquitlam

15. Langley (district) 16. North Vancouver (district) 17. Maple Ridge 18. Delta 19. Port Moody 20. Pitt Meadows 21. Anmore – source: CCPA, Working Poverty in Metro Vancouver (based on data from Statistics Canada)

Large numbers of Burnaby’s working poor have children Continued from page 1 The report calls for the development of a comprehensive poverty reduction plan for B.C. including a higher minimum wage, stronger employment standards, increased affordable housing, creation of a $10/ day child-care program and more access to education and training for low-income earners.

But Ivanova said the biggest thing is to recognize that the growing number

of working poor is a problem, and the various levels of government need to work together.

Burnaby’s numbers pretty much mirrored the rest of the region.

The study found 61 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents who are stuck below the poverty line despite having a job are 30 to 54 years of age. Just over half of the working poor are married or living common law, and 42 per cent have depen-

dent children.

Among Canadian cities, Metro Vancouver has the second highest rate of working poverty at 8.7 per cent of the working-age population, after Greater Toronto at 9.1 per cent.

There are an estimated 106,000 people in Metro Vancouver in working poverty.

City now Fundraiser helps buy pet oxygen mask kits Tanya Commisso

editorial@burnabynow.com

What started as every pet owner’s nightmare has spurred a hopeful fundraising campaign to benefit four-legged friends across the province.

In May, dog trainer Dove Cresswell lost nine pets to smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at her Burnaby home. In memory of Cresswell’s animals, long-time friend Elisha McCallum has started a fundraising initiative called Happy Dogs Legacy. She hopes to raise enough money to provide every B.C. fire hall with pet oxygen mask kits.

At the time of the fire, the Burnaby Fire Department had just two pet masks. “(Pet oxygen masks) are not considered a mandatory piece of equipment,” said McCallum. “I’m surprised (they aren’t) because of the growth of the pet community, and the compassion of first responders.”

To date, the initiative has raised nearly $13,000 of its $15,000 goal.

The Burnaby Fire De-

partment has expressed interest in receiving donated masks from the campaign so it can outfit all its trucks with three-piece kits.

“We are more than happy to accept their donation,” Burnaby fire chief Joe Robertson added.

Robertson said the donations are particularly helpful since the masks are expensive to purchase at about $180 per kit.

The response from other fire departments in the province has also been receptive – so much so that McCallum is considering

extending the campaign to raise more money to afford the demand for masks.

“We’ve received requests for 244 oxygen masks, so that’ll cost around $24,000, at least,” said McCallum.

The Burnaby Fire Department is to receive 17 new masks from the campaign and applauds the Happy Dogs Legacy group.

“It was a bad news story that some good people turned into a good news story,” said Robertson.

Dennis Baker Occupation VOLUNTEER Why is he in the news?

Dennis Baker has been nursing a labour of love in a Burnaby housing complex for the past decade.

The Burnaby senior collects old children’s bikes, spends all year fixing them up and, come December, donates them to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau.

He’s a Lougheed Lions Club member, and his bike repair efforts are part of

Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?

Myself? Well, I’m 78 years old, and I’ve been doing this for 10 years.

And how many bikes do you refurbish?

Last year, I gave the bureau 101. All refurbished, looking brand new.

What got you started in this?

We operate a low-income housing project, and when people moved and so on, they often left bicycles behind. And they sat out in the rain and got all rusty, and I thought, “Surely I can do something with these

the group’s commitment to serve others.

He works out of a garage in a low-income housing project in Burnaby, run by the Lougheed Lions.

bikes.”

So the first year I gathered up six that were sitting around outside, brought them into the shop, took them all apart, sanded and painted them, got them looking brand new again, and I thought, “Well now what the hell do I do with them?”

So a lady that works for us in the travel business said, “Phone my friend that works down at the Christmas bureau.”

So I phoned Chris Bayliss, (executive director of the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau), and I said, “Chris, could you use six really good refurbished bicycles?” and he said, “Oh could I ever.”

So I sent them down to him, and he was so impressed, he said, “How about next year? Could

you do some more for next year?” and I said sure. And that was 10 years ago.

How do you know how to fix the bikes? Do you have a background in bicycle mechanics?

Nope, just trial and error.

So you’re self-taught?

Totally self-taught, but I’m mechanically inclined. I like working with machines and things like that.

What did you do before you retired?

I was a salesman. I sold

office supplies for Grand & Toy. Are you the only guy doing the fixing?

No, I have two other guys who help me on a semi-regular basis and the other one on a semi-regular basis. So there are three of us working on them.

Do you ever get to see the kids’ reactions when they receive the bikes?

No, never.

Why do you keep doing it?

Because I know it’s for a better cause. I know that some kid that can’t afford a bike, how his eyes will light up when he sees a really nice bicycle under the Christmas tree. And that’s why I do it.

I’m sure they freak out when they see it.That’s a pretty big deal, getting a bike when you’re a kid.

Oh yeah, for sure. Plus it’s fun. I enjoy it. I tell people I’m smart like a school bus, but I like working with my hands.

Do you want people to bring you more bikes?

Right now I have 50 to work on.To be honest with you, I would never turn down kids’ bikes. I’m not looking for adult bikes at all, just kids’ bikes, because Christmas is for the kids as far as I’m concerned. Adult bikes, I give them to the homeless people.

That’s nice, so you fix those up, too?

Only to make them serviceable. I don’t paint them at all, just to make them serviceable.

Get Ready to Giro

By Lizzy Ojo,

Heights contributor With vibrant blue skies, open patios and the tinkling melody of the ice cream truck, the sounds and sights of summer in the Heights are here. Speedily approaching is the Giro di Burnaby (Tour of Burnaby), a professional cycling race taking place on Hastings Street.

Named in honour of the Giro d’Italia (the second largest pro-cycling race in the world), the Giro will bring thousands of spectators to the Heights on Thursday, July 14. Cycling enthusiast or not, anyone can appreciate the exciting, fast-paced atmosphere that the Giro creates.

The race is one of nine occurring between July 8 and 16 as part of B.C. Superweek.

This nine-day whirlwind is one of North America’s most prestigious cycling events and features the Tour de Delta, Gastown Grand Prix, Giro di Burnaby, PoCo Grand Prix and Tour de White Rock.

The Giro di Burnaby features a 1.2-kilometre closed-loop course starting at Hastings and Carleton.

The Boffo Breve (youth race) starts at 5:30 p.m. At 6 p.m. Mayor Derek Corrigan will start the women’s race. Finally, city councillor Pietro Calendino will start the men’s race at 7:15 p.m. Awards will be presented at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Additionally, there is $15,000 in prize money up for grabs. Raising the stakes, primes (pronounced “preems”) are cash prizes announced at the beginning of a lap.

They intensify the pace because the winner of that lap also wins the prime.

If you hear a clanging bell, a prime lap has been announced. As a kid who enjoyed participating in many sports, I remember loving competition days because of the electric atmosphere and feeling of anticipation in the air. The Giro brings that fun feeling to the Heights in a way that is accessible to all ages.

The Girolino (kids’ zone) will host activities such as bike decorating and safety checks, ID engraving on bikes and a skills/ obstacle course. It will be located at the grass lot at the intersection of Willingdon Avenue and Albert Street. For the adults, several restaurants will open up their patios and offer Giro specials. Make sure to stick around between and after the races to take in all that Burnaby Heights has to offer. For more information on the Giro di Burnaby, visit www. girodiburnaby.com.

Large crowds expected for this year’s Giro race

By Jeremy Deutsch There’s little doubt the Giro Di Burnaby is a tradition in the community.

The cycling race frst got its wheels in 2006 and in the last decade has grown to become one of the premier events in the city and, more specifcally, in North Burnaby.

The 2016 version of the race, set for Thursday, July 14, is expected to be bigger than ever.

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

“We’re just continuing to build on what we are now honing,” said Giro organizer Rainy Kent.

That means there will be a full feld of male and female cyclists vying for the top prize. The Giro is part of the Super Week series, a collection of cycling races around the region.

“The Superweek races have just totally grown in profle as the race on the West Coast,” she said.

If you’re new to the race, the Giro di Burnaby is a single cycling event, open to male and female cyclists competing for a total prize purse of more than $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 sponsorship for 2011.

For veteran fans, or anyone new who turns out to the race, the beer gardens will return and the Giro Expo will be a bit bigger this year.

Professional cyclists will be vying for a purse totalling more than $15,000 at this year’s Giro di Burnaby. More than 10,000 people are expected to line the streets of the Heights for the big event on July 14. PHOTO FILE

The expo, at the corner of Hastings Street and Madison Avenue, will open at 5:30 p.m., while the Steamworks Beer Garden opens at 6 p.m.

The expo is an opportunity for spectators to check out the event sponsors who contribute to the Giro di Burnaby, while The Girolino, or kids’ zone, is also back this year and infeaturing many of the Heights vendors and Giro tent that cludes bike decorating, bike safety checks, a skills/obstacle has offcial event merchandise. course and riding area and kids’ craft station.

Deer Lake Gallery alive for summer Deer Lake Gallery is a busy place this summer.

Having just wrapped up Jessie McNeil’s Urban Subjects exhibition, the gallery has a full schedule of summer fun lined up.

Wrapped in Colour, the next exhibition, is then set to run at the gallery from July 9 to Aug. 6.The exhibition features the work of

artists Pepe Hidalgo and Maria Voronova.

To launch that event, the gallery is hosting a Cinq à Sept event on Friday, July 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. Cinq à Sept, French for “Five to Seven,” is a social gathering that takes place after work and before dinner, usually with music, food and drink.

This one will be no differ-

ent, with live jazz music featuring guitarist Bill Coon, plus light snacks and drinks on offer to all who come.

Admission is free.

The gallery is also getting ready to host its Deer Lake Summer Art Festival on Saturday, Aug. 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The day will include a juried sculpture exhibi-

tion, summer theatre performance, artisans’ market, art workshop for kids, a live painting competition dubbed the Park’s Edge Paint Off and more.

On top of it all, Ron Simmer’s popular infinity room installation, A NightWalk in Falling Snow, has been extended for a second time due to popular demand.

The installation will be on in the gallery until Sept. 3.

The gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is open Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Admission is always free.

See www.burnabyarts council.org or call 604-2987322 for more on these and other arts council happenings.

Metaphorical images and magical realism take to the walls of the Deer Lake Gallery when a new exhibition opens this weekend.

Wrapped in Colour, featuring the work of Pepe Hidalgo and Maria Voronova, is set to run from July 9 to Aug. 6. An opening reception is set for Saturday, July 9 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Hidalgo is a Spanishborn artist “who applies a poetic and often metaphorical language in order to reflect on his closely related subjects of historic meaning and memory,” a press release notes.

Voronova is Russianborn, and her work reflects the magical realism of Chagall.

“Her work strives to nourish the soul of the spectator by creating compositions, according to the decorative discipline, with dreamlike images in which fiction and reality meet,” the release says.

Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. For more, see www.burnaby artscouncil.org.

Eight surefire ways to help cope with stress DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

In my last column, we saw stress as an essential part of our lives.

It can be positive when it moves us to change and grow, but it affect our minds and bodies in negative ways when we are overwhelmed.

This happens when there’s just too much of it: more than we can handle given the time, abilities and support that we have at hand.

But sometimes, it is our perspective that needs to change. It’s been said that 20 per cent of our emotional reaction is due to the reality of a situation; 80 per cent is what we bring into it – our assumptions, attitudes and memories.

Most of us don’t think much about stress until we are right in the middle of it. Suddenly, we’re overwhelmed.What can you do each day to maintain a healthy balance and manage stress more positively?

Be a good parent to yourself.

The best advice I can give my patients is essentially the advice my good parents gave to me.

1. BE GOOD: LIVE IN ACCORD WITH YOUR VALUES. My parents both taught and modelled ethical behaviour. Doing the right thing keeps your conscience clear and helps you sleep

at night.Telling the truth is easier than remembering all the lies you could tell. Being kind just makes you feel good.

Doing work we are passionate about with people we care about makes each moment more meaningful.

2. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK OR ACT: REFLECT. If you are operating on automatic, you may end up far from your original destination. If you respond only to your emotions, you’ll be reactive in what you say and do.

Throughout your day, pause and reflect upon your words and actions. “Am I being mindful of my words?

Am I doing good work? Am I helping or harming?”

3. CHOOSE GOOD FRIENDS, AND TALK TO THEM. We all need the support of friends we trust and who love us without question.

They listen when we need to vent, and they care about us enough to set us straight when we’re on the wrong path.

The value of such a support group is even more important when we grow up and cope with the many roles and stages of our lives, including parenthood, relationship crises, midlife and retirement.

4. BUT REMEMBER FAMILY COMES FIRST. I didn’t get it when my mom told me this during

my teens. “Friends and girlfriends come and go, but family is always here for you.” She was right again.

Too often we neglect our partners and children because of work and other misplaced priorities. If we wait too long, we mistake family relationships to be the source of our stress.

The time you invest in your most important relationships is never wasted.

5. GO OUT AND PLAY. We all need regular (aim for daily) exercise. It can keep you fit, burn off steam and help you manage the rest of the day.

6. DON’T SKIP MEALS. Schedule regular healthy

meals to keep your energy up and your body healthy.

What you save in time by skipping a meal, you lose in fatigue and poor health.

7. TAKE A BREAK. Our brains and bodies were not designed to work without a break for more than a few hours at a time.

We all need regular breaks to maintain our attention and energy.

8. GO TO BED. Get enough sleep each night.

Be good to yourself: Playing outside and spending time with the family: two of the ideas on Davidicus Wong’s checklist of how to deal with stress. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

Wildcats athletes celebrated

Burnaby Central’s athletes honoured for achievements

The Burnaby Central Wildcats capped the high school year last month with its athletic banquet, celebrating the best of 2015-16 season.

This year’s Male and Female Grade 12 athletes of the year are Nathan Mah and Reesa Wright.

Mah’s accomplishments reflected his dedication to his sport and school work, as the track and field star will continue his pursuit at Simon Fraser University. He won silver at the provincials in the senior 200-metre dash, and anchored the Wildcats’ third-place finish in the 4 x 100m relay. An ankle injury, suffered while posting the quickest time in the qualifying heat, resulted in a fourth-place showing in the 100m dash. At the regionals, he won both the senior male 100- and 200m dashes.

“Nathan was a stand-out track and field athlete who is going to be running for SFU next year,” remarked athletic director Curtis Hodgson. “He anchored the 4x100 (relay) to a thirdplace finish at provincials… (Mah is ) also an outstanding leadership student at Central.”

Wright was involved with three sports – basketball, soccer and ultimate. She was the MVP of her senior soccer team and served as an athletic community role model.

“Toughness. High basketball IQ. Leadership.Words bantered about so generously they have lost some of their lustre,” noted Central senior girls basketball co-coach Peter van den Hoogen. “In Reesa’s case though, they are iron clad statements about her character and ability. Coach Chris Ducharme and myself hold Reesa in the highest regard because she is a tremendous athlete, school ambassador and fierce competitor, but most importantly because she gives back to the game, and is a good-hearted kid.”

Burnaby Central’s list of athletic award winners also saw wrestler Ansel Hait pick up the Male Grade 11, while a quartet share the Female Grade 11 award – Sara Brinkac, Danielle Labreche, Christine Lin and Jennifer Mascardo.

Brinkac’s award recognized her accomplishment in wrestling – establishing a school-first for winning a provincial 60-kg gold title. She pursues the sport at a high level, representing Canada at the Cadet Pan Am championships in Peru last week, finishing seventh overall.

Collecting the Grade 10 Athletes of theYear honours were CharlesYu (male) and Sylvia Ly (female), while the Grade 9 awards went to Keegan Chao and Richard Culleton (male) and Bethany Lim (female).

Connor Jung, for Grade 8 boys, and Maneesha Dhaliwal, Grade 8 girls, rounded out the major recipients.

There were expectations, there was pressure, and there was the experience.

Melissa Chan was able to check off all three en route to a Youth World Cup karate gold medal last week in Croatia.

The Burnaby teen, in just her second year of international competition, was part of a 40-athlete team representing Canada at the event in Umag, Croatia. One of six members of the Burnaby Karate Academy on the roster, Melissa credited her cousin and teammate, Isabel Chan, aka Izzy, for helping prepare her from the very start.

“I’ve never competed at the Youth Cup in Croatia, so this was a completely new experience for me,” Melissa replied in an email from Europe to the NOW. “I trained for this competition like I have any other tournament.The preparation was the same as always, training with my cousin Izzy.”

That preparation was vital under the spotlight of representing Canada in 16-17 girls 48-kilogram kumite.

A Burnaby South student, Melissa said earlier round wins helped build her confidence and a calm resolve that carried her into the gold medal match with Spain’s Ana Palomo Lorenzo.

“Oddly enough, I felt really bound from a close 1-0 loss to calm and relaxed going into fiDenmark with a 6-0 victory over nals,” she said. “I knew that I did a Romanian, followed by the final all the hard work to get to (the) win for the medal. finals so it was time to just have With both Chans making fun.

placed seventh and gained valuable experience.

“The main goal going into the Youth World Cup was to just have fun and gain experience. I knew the Europeans would be tough competitors, so I just had to do the best that I could…

“When I won finals, I was ecstatic. I’m not the type of person to show it in the ring, but once I got off to the sidelines it was time to celebrate.”

The Canadian team also secured two silvers and three more bronze.

For Melissa, a result like this expands her horizons. It also sparks bigger, bolder goals – ones she is eager to embrace.

“The big goal that everyone is working towards is Worlds, which is happening next year in the fall,” she said. “I am also looking forward to the next competition, which is the Pan American championships in Ecuador (in August)… Of course, we are all hopeful that karate will be accepted into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, in which case (that) would be something else to look forward to.”

Also representing Canada from the Burnaby Karate Academy were Angelica Gomez-Lalonde, in 16-17 girls -59kg, Jai Sanghera, in 16-17 boys +59kg, Brendan Ly, in 18-20 boys +84kg, and Michael Plunkett, in 14-15 boys -52kg.

Hockey smarts

Burnaby-born defenceman Carmine Buono has always looked sharp with the puck.

The blueliner continues to show his smarts off the ice as well, earning a spot on Hockey East’s All-Academic Team for

2015-16.

In his first year at the University of Massachussets-Amherst, Buono made the grade-point-average 3.0 or higher list. He was one of 21 B.C. Hockey League alumni to achieve the feat.

Two for a seesaw

Goalie Zak Boychuk turned in another stellar performance, helping the Burnaby Lakers earn a 7-7 draw with the New Westminster Salmonbellies in Western Lacrosse Association action last week.

Boychuk faced 71 shots and finished with a .902 save percentage, as Burnaby salted away a single point in its drive for a playoff spot.

But it could have been two, as the Lakers were leading most of the game in

a seesaw affair.

They led 4-3 after two periods and 5-4 early in the third. New West rallied, took the lead and only a Robert Church tally – his second of the day – forced extra time.

In overtime, Burnaby’s Jackson Decker gave the visitors a brief advantage before Justin Goodwin tied it to end the game in a draw.

The 5-4-1 Lakers get a rematch against New West on Friday, 7:45 p.m. at the Copeland arena.

Goalie leads Lakers to bantam A2 berth

The Burnaby Lakers are heading to the bantam A2 lacrosse provincials in Vancouver next week.

The Lakers sewed up its berth with a polished 4-2 doubling of Richmond, thanks to the standout netminding of Jackson Murphy-Johnson.The goaltender turned aside 48 shots, including 19 in the third period, as Burnaby built up a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes.

Scoring for the Lakers were Ian Marian, with two, Marcus Klarich and Ronin Sakamoto. Klarich also drew two assists.Thomas Vela, who led the team in scoring throughout the year, collected a helper. Earlier in the playoff round, Burnaby blasted North Shore 11-1 and 7-0.

They finished first in league play, going 10-0 after the tiering section. In their last league game, Burnaby erased a 4-1 deficit with eight unanswered goals for a 9-4 win.
