CYCLISTS SAY

Sharing path a bad idea By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Cycling advocates in Burnaby are standing firm against a proposed shared pathway that would link the future Brentwood development to Hastings Street. HUB Burnaby, the local branch of a non-profit organization that promotes cycling in the community, is calling on the City of Burnaby to rethink the design for its proposed Willingdon Greenway. The current design is a 1.2-kilometre multi-use pathway that would be accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists. It’s proposed to run from Brentlawn Drive to Hastings Street, connecting Brentwood Town Centre to the north part of the city. There are already several similar urban trails throughout the city.

RECYCLING COLLECTION WOULD NOT CHANGE

City moves toward fewer garbage pickups By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A number of communities have already done away with weekly garbage pickup, and it looks like Burnaby could be following suit. On Monday, city council approved a report from staff recommending imple-

menting biweekly curbside and multi-family residential curbside garbage collection. A staff report noted moving from weekly to biweekly garbage collection, while maintaining weekly collection of recycling (blue box) and green materials (yard waste and organics/food waste), will not only result

in greater diversion from the waste stream, it will also provide opportunities for enhanced services. The recommendation was already endorsed by the city’s financial management committee at a meeting last month. The report noted the introduction of recycling and

green waste has resulted in diversion of approximately 50 per cent of materials from being sent to the landfill or the waste-to-energy facility. The city pointed to a recent report from Metro Vancouver that found communities that have moved from weekly to biweekly

garbage collection, including Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam, have seen an average of 33 per cent reduction in the tonnage of waste disposed, with reductions ranging from 26 to 43 per cent. “The city, which is one of the few communities in this

region still collecting residential garbage on a weekly basis, can also achieve similar reductions by moving to biweekly garbage collection,” the staff report stated. The proposed changes got a thumbs up from city council. Coun. Dan Johnston Continued on page 5

Newsnow BIG ENTHUSIASM FROM LITTLE KIDS

FIRST RUN FOR FOX:

Tiny tots took to the track at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby Mountain campus this past week to honour the university’s most famous alumnus. More than 200 kids aged zero to five ran around Terry Fox Field Thursday during the first-ever SFU Childcare Society Little Fox Run at SFU. The goal of the event was to raise awareness about cancer research and to teach the children about the legacy of Terry Fox, a former SFU varsity basketball player who once trained on the same field the youngsters ran around.

THE HOUSING CRUNCH

Protesters keep pressure on demovictions By Jennifer Moreau and Jeremy Deutsch editorial@burnabynow.com

A small group of antipoverty activists gathered in Burnaby’s Metrotown area to push back against demovictions they say

are leaving local residents homeless. They came out Monday, the same day Burnaby city council was scheduled for the second reading on a controversial development project in the neighbourhood.

“I really hope the city councillors and the mayor start to realize the human costs of these demovictions,” said Murray Martin, an ACORN member and Edmonds resident. “There’s a zero per cent vacancy rate from here

to Abbotsford. Every time you tear down one of these buildings, there’s nowhere to go. … The destruction of these buildings will result in homelessness.” Martin wants the city to stop rezoning the Metrotown area, where devel-

opers are razing low-cost rentals to build more expensive, high-rise condos. City council approved the second reading for the rezoning application Monday night.That means the developer, Polygon, is one step closer to tearing down

seven low-rental buildings to construct a 38-storey tower. Polygon has already sold out a neighbouring “sister” highrise that hasn’t been built yet. Martin claims he knows demovicted residents who Continued on page 10

‘My heart hurts’: Stolen van was family’s lifeline Have you seen it? This vehicle was stolen from a home on Winlake Crescent sometime early Friday morning. The van was equipped with an electronic wheelchair ramp that a Burnaby family relied on for their son and daughter.

Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby family is hoping the public will help them find a van outfitted with special needs equipment that was stolen from their home last week. The special van, a GMC worth about $40,000 and equipped with an electronic wheelchair ramp, was apparently stolen sometime between 1:30 and 6:30 a.m. Friday morning from a home on Winlake Crescent. Wendy Cruden told the NOW the van belongs to her husband’s aunt, who has been taking care of an adopted son and daughter who both have mobility issues and rely on wheelchairs. She said the van was used by the adult children for appointments and school, and the family is devastated by the loss. Cruden said she and her husband parked by the van early Friday morning, and within a few hours it was gone.The family reported the theft to Burnaby RCMP.

Continued from page 1 suggested some people will have to adjust to the changes, but overall it will be positive for the city. “We’ve seen some of the mistakes some of our neighbouring municipalities have made, and some of the benefits they’ve achieved and I think we’ve got a plan that’s before us that I think is going to be quite successful,” he said. Coun. Anne Kang said the move to biweekly pickup

means people will take more care to ensure their organics are being properly disposed. “I see people doing more so that their garbage cans are not filled up,” she said. The city also said the proposed change would allow for enhanced street litter and illegal dumping clean up services at no additional cost.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Cunning ploy, or a complete sellout?

It’s a little like reading tea leaves.Tea leaves in oil. Last week the federal government gave its stamp of approval to a $36 billion LNG plant on Lelu Island near Prince Rupert. As a grim-faced federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna tried to put a positive spin on it, B.C. environmentalists who had thrown their support behind the Liberals were feeling like suckers. Had Justin Trudeau not proclaimed things would be different? That climate

change would be a major consideration in decisions and projects that were clearly not moving the country towards alternative energy would not be given priority? Had he not pledged this nation’s word at the Paris climate change talks that this country would take a leadership role in battling climate change? And yet a project that would be equivalent to adding 200 million cars to the nation’s roads received approval. A project that will add 5.3 million tonnes of

carbon dioxide to the atmosphere each year.Yes, McKenna will say that there are 190 environmental conditions placed on the project, but the end result will be the same – there will be a huge complex producing exactly what the planet does not need more of, in monstrous amounts. And it’s not even as if it’s going to create a lot of jobs. Upon completion there may be 330 jobs created. Compare that with tourism. If you were to put an equivalent effort into preserving

and developing eco-tourism in B.C., a much higher number of jobs would be created. Now, perhaps Trudeau is playing a little environmental roulette. LNG prices are dropping and, in fact, soon after the approval it was revealed that Petronas, the Malaysian company involved in the project, might just be trying to sell the whole shebang. Many pundits doubt that the plant will ever be up and running given the international competition it would face with

a product that is becoming less and less valuable. Could Trudeau have approved a project that has little chance of being built? Could the approval be a cynical way of keeping the energy sector placated and Christy Clark onside, with a little side nudge, nudge, wink, wink, to the environmentalists. If that was the idea – it isn’t working. Environmentalists are outraged. NDPers and Greens who voted for the Liberals in hopes that their support would carry

some weight are angry, and the average voter is saying this just proves, yet again, that it’s business as usual in the government. But perhaps Trudeau felt he had to approve at least one gargantuan project so that he could say no to others? Perhaps, Burnaby’s Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion will now be denied? If McKenna turns up here to approve the pipeline, she might as well change her title to Energy puppet and kind-of-once-in-awhile Environment Minister.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Great Divide in B.C. politics The recent gathering of politicians in the capital provided ample evidence of the Great Divide that is deepening in this province. That divide – essentially, those who favour resource developments versus those who do not – will be a dominant theme come the spring election campaign. But it was in full sight last week at the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Two news conferences stood out, as mayors representing rival views duelled over the importance of the natural resource industry. LastWednesday, mayors from northern and Interior towns like Kamloops and Fort St. John took to the steps of the B.C. legislature to make their pitch that industries such as oil and gas, forestry and mining have a huge impact on the provincial economy. The very next day, mayors and councillors from urban areas such as the capital region and MetroVancouver held their own news conference, this one denouncing the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline as posing too great a risk to the environment. This is not simply a geographical split.While the mayors neatly cleaved the province in half, the divide has now come to define our two major provincial political parties. The B.C. Liberals have gone all-in on growing the economy and have put the

kind of environmental protection the anti-pipeline crowd is demanding on a distant backburner.While it is keeping things like the carbon tax in place, the current government is in no hurry to expand environmental protections. The New Democratic Party, on the other hand, has adopted the exact opposite philosophy.The party has almost fully embraced the various positions of environmental activists, which include opposing pipelines such as Kinder Morgan’s and demanding much more aggressive action when it comes to fighting climate change. Now another important distinction between the two parties has emerged. NDP leader John Horgan has now promised to fully implement the United Nations Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples, while Premier Christy Clark has balked at doing so because she thinks a number of clauses in that declaration are more than merely problematic and would in fact give First Nations an absolute “veto” over virtually any economic activity on land they lay claim to. At the very least, the two parties will give B.C. voters two vastly different options from which to choose when they head to the polls next May. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Where is Burnaby’s social-mindedness?

Resident upset by cutting of old trees

Dear Editor Kudos to the Burnaby Board of Trade for talking face-to-face with its members to find out their issues to better represent their needs. This is a move that Burnaby mayor and councillors might try sometime. The Board of Trade Business Sentiment Report indicates that housing for workers is an economic issue that is becoming more acute. When employees can’t find affordable housing, they can’t live in the community where they work. Often this results in critical worker shortages. We don’t want Burnaby to become one of those cities where its workers have to come in from the hinterlands, adding hours of commuting onto their day, yet there seems to be no planning to make Burnaby a whole community that can house its work population. Rather than being proactive about planning and zoning, Burnaby is taking the neo-liberal path of “let the market rule.” Further, unlike nearby cities, Burnaby has shown no leadership on becoming a Living Wage employer itself. New Westminster, and soon Vancouver and Port Coquitlam (along with Quesnel and Parksville), have committed to pay those who work for them a wage that is sufficient for them and their families to live on. It would be great to live in a city that had less of a neo-liberal, and more of a socially minded, governing style. Mae Burrows, Burnaby

Canada Post is failing Dear Editor Let’s take a minute to consider how many times, in recent history, the federal government has permitted Canada Post’s executive team to defer Canada Post’s obligations to the employees’ pension fund, and it becomes obvious why the pension fund is in a deficit position. Governments at all levels have been systemically failing in their obligations to fund the employers portion of employees’ pension funds, and they are now trying to get out of their obligations, by changing pensions, from defined benefits, to defined payments, with no guarantee as to what employees can expect to receive, when they retire. Meanwhile these same governments are still siphoning off dividends, even when these Crown corporations are in record debt, and executive salaries, and bonuses keeps increasing. Does it really make sense to pay ever rising salaries and bonuses to executives, when they are at the same time creating debt? J. Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

Stop the pipeline now Dear Editor The biggest concern of Canadians with regard to exporting Alberta oil through the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project is about the Canadian economy and jobs for Alberta, without any consideration about the damage large oil spills from huge oil tankers would do to the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area. The only sure and safe way to avoid huge oil tanker spills in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area is for the federal government to not allow the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project to proceed. Norman Gibson, by email

Margaret, distance cyclist PARC resident

peakie Why not flag the proposed cuttings for a week or more? Then residents can see what is being cut and why. Urban arborculture is a difficult field, with historic wrong trees planted many decades in poor locations, inappropriate or invasive species, neglect and confusion over private and public lands and relative responsibility. The City should visit neighbourhoods every two years and hold open houses and lectures on trees on private and public lands that may be nuisances, in the ten languages that Burnaby speaks. Eventually everyone will be a conscientious gardener. Rick McGowan This happened in Metrotown. Trees were removed without warning. Plans not disclosed . Keith We had the same situation in my neighbourhood but on a much larger scale. A bike path was added at the bottom of 6th and Burris and saw a large number of mature trees cut down. A wide path the size of a road was put in and some small trees and shrubs were planted afterwards. The sad part was the trees acted as natural sound deadending from the highway, so neighbouring houses now have to deal with elevated noise. Ironically, this path had no sidewalk leading up to it from Burris or 6th Street and only after compliants did the city put in a gravel path down on side of 6th to access the the larger paved path. Seems like Burnaby planning department is more interested in adding lines to a map than actually providing useful infrastructure to neighbourhoods. Elias Ishak There are old trees overhanging paths and sidewalks all over the place ... they would all be cut down, if we thought like Goodherham ... and what in the world is so objectionable about cottonwood trees?

Residents concerned about fees for suites allanl Looks like rental costs will only be going up because I’m damn sure homeowners won’t be taking it out of their own pockets...it just gets trickled down to the people renting....good thing we aren’t in a rental crisis... MikeB The blame is on the Assessment Authority as they should confirm that a suite is being used for rental before they start sending incorrect info to the city. This will cause a ton of work for inspectors as people will be lining up for inspections of supposed secondary suites. JOIN THE CONVERSATION ON TWITTER

City now Cyclists raise concerns about greenway proposal Continued from page 1 In the past, HUB Burnaby has sat back as the paths were constructed, but enough is enough, according to Moreno Zanotto, a HUB Burnaby member and a representative on the city’s transportation committee. “Their effectiveness is predicated on their non-use. So as long as pedestrian volumes stay really low and cyclist’ volumes stay really low, they can work, but as soon as those numbers start increasing, the number of conflicts between road users explodes,” Zanotto told the NOW. The main concerns with the proposed Willingdon Greenway are safety and growth of transportation modes like cycling and walking, Zanotto said. Chances of a collision are especially high with cyclists travelling at higher speeds than pedestrians and even more so if they’re forced to dodge other obstacles along the four-metre-wide path, including benches, park spaces and art pieces as proposed, Zanotto said. A shared path will also discourage prospective cyclists from using the greenway as a commuter route, he added. Currently, less than one per cent of trips within the City of Burnaby are made by bike, and it’s been that way for at least the past 30 years, according to research

What could be: If approved, the Willingdon Greenway will feature a four-metre-wide shared path with benches and park spaces, as seen in this rendering. PHOTO ISL ENGINEERING AND LAND SERVICES

conducted by HUB using data from TransLink. During that time, the city has focused on urban trails, Zanotto said. “It’s not an effective facility in increasing cycling, and we’re not seeing growth,” he said. “We need a new approach.” Zanotto, who lives in the Heights, said he wouldn’t use the proposed greenway unless it was the only option. Instead, he and other cyclists in the area prefer the Sea-to-River Parkway that runs north to south along Carleton Avenue. What he’d like to see along the Willingdon corridor is a separated bike lane like those in Vancouver or European countries like the Netherlands. “They’re not only safer, they represent really good choices for encouraging cycling,” Zanotto said. On Sept. 14, the City

of Burnaby held an open house to provide residents with more information regarding the proposed Willingdon Greenway. The NOW contacted the City of Burnaby for details on when the project would go before council but did not hear back before press time. To read the full documents presented at the open house, go to www.burnabynow.com.

Do you have good hearing but find listening tiring? Research has shown that even people with minimal hearing loss find listening to be tiring. Swiss based hearing aid technology can help by limiting the effort needed by the brain to understand speech. Listening and understanding speech are an important part of everyday communications. However, this can be challenging for people with normal hearing, and even more trying for people with hearing loss. Many of our everyday environments are not ideal. Poor acoustics, lack of visual cues (e.g. on-the phone or talking from another room), muffled speech, and background noise limit our ability to understand speech. This results in asking people to repeat themselves, straining to hear, and possibly avoiding group discussions. A rising field of study by hearing researchers is listening effort. This can be defined as the amount of cognitive resources that are being used to process and understand speech. Research suggests that continued listening effort is linked to

reduce the cognitive processing needed to understand speech. Listening effort may be reduced for some clients through the new rechargeable Phonak Audéo B-R hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology allows hearing aids to automatically adapt to any listening environment. In addition to understanding speech easier, less effort is required to listen. The rechargeable system is easy to use and provides 24 hours of hearing with only one charge.

Thebrainrequiresmorementalenergywhen listening in difficult environments. This effortful listening in turn leads to fatigue. increases in stress, tension, and fatigue. A person who is straining to hear is using more brain power to understand speech. The more brain power needed, the more tired that person is going to feel. A growing body of research suggests that hearing aids may reduce listening effort, and in return mental fatigue when processing speech in noise. Digital Noise Reduction technology has been shown to

Missing student’s body found 48-year-old man charged in connection with Japanese woman’s death Jeremy Deutsch

Memorial: Mourners pay their respects to Japanese student Natsumi Kogawa at a memorial outside a home in Vancouver’s West End. Kogawa’s body was discovered on the property last week. A 48-year-old man is now facing charges in connection with her death.

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The body of a Japanese student who had been missing for weeks has been found. On Friday, the Vancouver Police Department confirmed the body of 30-yearold Natsumi Kogawa was found at the Gabriola House mansion in the city’s West End just after 7 p.m. on Sept. 28. On the same day, a 48-year-old man was arrested in connection with the investigation by RCMP in Vernon. William Victor Schneider was taken into custody and charged with indignity to a human body. Vancouver police spokesperson Const. Brian Montague said the investigation is still ongoing and evidence is being gathered to support a murder charge. Investigators are still trying to determine the exact date of Kogawa’s death and an autopsy was planned for Monday. A publication ban on the case also limited police in what information they could release to the public. “There is still an active and ongoing investigation; we don’t want to jeopardize that investigation,” Montague said. Kogawa was last seen on Sept. 7 by a friend near the North Burnaby home where she was staying. She was reported missing to Vancouver police on Sept. 12.The file was transferred to Burnaby RCMP since she lived in the city. Kogawa was in B.C. studying English. At the time, Burnaby RCMP said there was nothing to suggest the 30-yearold’s disappearance was suspicious. Last week, Burnaby Mounties gave an update on the case and provided still images from video taken before she was reported missing.The images from a building in downtown Van-

couver showed Kogawa walking with a man holding a black bag. The VPD confirmed the man arrested is the same person in the video. Police also confirmed there are no other suspects. The police said the Burn-

aby RCMP’s investigation led police to search the grounds at 1523 Davie St. but didn’t provide the details of what exactly brought investigators to the site. Montague said timelines are a big part of the investigation, adding there was a

fairly large time gap from when Kogawa was last seen and when she was reported missing. “We’re going to do our best to fill in that missing time,” he said.

Council supports new development Continued from page 3 are now homeless – some are couchsurfing, and one man is living on the streets. They were all residents of 5025 Imperial St., the building that was occupied by protesters in July. Amacon, the developer, is planning a 27-storey tower for the site. On Monday, council unanimously approved several rezoning applications without discussion. Afterwards, Coun. Nick Volkow said he’s grudgingly supporting the development, despite his concerns. “We are in an insane real

estate situation here in the city; we’re not unique,” he told the NOW, noting similar situations in Coquitlam and Surrey. “I wish I could be way more positive, but change unfortunately is inevitable.” Volkow suggested even if council turned down the developments, the property owners could still tear down and replace the buildings with market housing. Council also approved the final adoption to the 27-storey development by Amacon that included 5025 Imperial St.

A Burnaby actor is front and centre as Gateway Theatre opens its new season in October. Andrea Yu is starring in the Canadian premiere of King of theYees – the story of Lauren Yee’s search for her missing father, Larry, in San Francisco. “To find him, Lauren embarks on a fantastic journey through the heart of the city’s Chinatown, where she confronts a world that is completely foreign and utterly familiar at the same time,” a press release says. “Yee offers humour and heart-breaking honesty in equal measure as she explores the cultural and generational divide that separates fathers and daughters.” The show is directed by Sherry J.Yoon and also stars Jovanni Sy as Larry, with Raugi Yu, Donna Soares and Milton Lim in a variety of roles.

Imagine visiting a city square to watch women dance to a percussive gamelan ensemble, while dining on spicy noodles in coconut milk.This place is called alun-alun in Indonesia, and it’s something the Permai B.C. Association plans to recreate in an upcoming celebration of Indonesian culture. “It’s just like going into another country,” said Martin Prijatna, president of the Permai B.C. Association. “I’m hoping people will get the atmosphere of our rich culture.We have nonstop performances for five hours.” For the first time, the an-

nual festival is open to the general public. Alun-Alun Indonesia 2016 is set for Saturday, Oct. 8, from noon to 5 p.m. at Burnaby’s Nikkei Centre. One of the highlights will be gamelan, a collection of percussive metal instruments that people hit with mallets. Festival goers will have a chance to learn how to play gamelan, which hails from Java, the country’s most populated island. Of course, there’s authentic, traditional food: spicy delicacies, rich with bold flavours, with coconut milk and peanut sauce. “They don’t Westernize it,” said Prijatna. “It’s like homemade food.” Local politicians have also been invited: Burnaby

Lougheed MLA Jane Shin will deliver a speech, and Burnaby Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan is expected to attend. Prijatna hopes the event will spread awareness about his culture. “Not many people know where Indonesia is,” Prijatna said. “There are 18,000 islands, many religions, many dialects, many cultures and traditions that we’d like to introduce.” The Nikkei Centre is at 6688 Southoaks Cres. Admission is $3. People must sign up for association membership because of food safety regulations. The Permai B.C. Association is an Indonesian cultural group. For information, see www.permaibc.ca.

Communitynow Japanese Canadian soldiers’ stories remembered One hundred years ago, more than 200 Japanese Canadian recruits began their military training in Vancouver. Even though they had no right to vote, they felt called to serve the country they called home – and they fought in some of the major battles of the First World War. Their story is being told in a new exhibition at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.Warrior Spirit opens Saturday, Oct. 8 and runs until Jan.

15, 2017 at the museum at 6688 Southoaks Cres. With 222 soldiers from the Japanese Canadian Volunteer Corps fighting with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, they participated in the battles of the Somme,Vimy Ridge, Lens, Avion, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Amiens, Arras, Cabrai, Denain,Valenciennes and Monnes. Fifty-five were killed or died of their wounds; only six came home uninjured. “Letters from the front describe the exemplary and

fearless fighting of Japanese Canadians who won 13 military medals for bravery,” a press release notes. Despite their loyalty to Canada, the veterans were still denied the vote until 1931 – and, come the Sec-

ond World War, they were included in the mass internment of Japanese Canadians. “This exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the loyalty, dedication, courage and commitment to a better Canada from the early community of Nikkei in Canada,” the release notes. Among the artifacts on display will be an original samurai uniform; medals and other artifacts from Sgt. Masumi Mitsui of the famed Fighting 10th Bat-

talion that successfully took Vimy Ridge in 1917; and the uniform and medals of Zennosuke Inouye, the only First World War Japanese Canadian veteran to have his land returned after the Second World War. Inouye will be the subject of a re-enactment, starring actor Kevin Takahide Lee, on Saturday, Nov. 5. The opening reception is set for Saturday, Oct. 8 from 2 to 5 p.m., and admission is free.

Gone rogue: Traction on Demand team member Caitlin Tuba was at Buckingham Elementary last week to teach the students about coding as part of Traction’s Bandits Gone Rogue tour.

BANDITS DROP-IN ON COMMUTERS, STUDENTS The “Bandits” are on the loose. Bandits Gone Rogue is a group of staff members from Burnaby software sales and support company Traction on Demand who are touring around the province this week conducting random acts of kindness. Last week, Caitlin Tuba paid a visit to Buckingham Elementary school in Burnaby to lead two coding sessions. Students in grades 6 and 7 got a chance to create a story using Scratch, a free programming language that can be used to create interactive stories, games and animations.

Hot start for Canada Canada is sitting pretty after the first two games at the FIFA Under-17 women’s World Cup in Jordan. They sit tied with the best record in their group stage, and with the tiebreaker in their favour, after playing Germany to a 1-1 draw on Monday. Canada grabbed an early lead when Deanne Rose deposited an aggressive charge past the German keeper just 21 minutes into the contest. Germany countered with a tally in injury time during the first half, converting a penalty kick from the top of the box. “It was a very tough game, but we are happy to come out of it with a draw,” said u17 head coach Bev HumphriesPriestman. “We would have loved three points, but I think the reality of the physical difference between our young players and Germany’s more mature side means a draw was a good result.” While Canada held a solid advantage in the first half, their European rivals applied serious pressure in the second half for the go-ahead goal, only to be foiled by a sturdy defensive line and FIFA LiveYour Goals Player of the Match Lysianne Proulx, a 17-year-old Cutting to the crease: Ridge Meadows Flames’ Geoffrey So, left, tries to avoid the check of Grandview Steelers’ defenceman Joseph Santalucia, while netminder Matteo Quebec native.

Simon Fraser puts down a big spike on Oregon trail

The Simon Fraser University Clan women’s volleyball team didn’t let an early deficit hold them back from racking up another win. SFU continued its winning ways in Oregon on Saturday, knocking off the Concordia Cavaliers in a solid 3-1 triumph. After dropping an extremely close first set 25-23 and staring at a 16-12 hole in the second frame, the Burnaby Mountain squad found the switch and changed direction en route to their 12th victory of the season. The Clan attack was powered by outside hitters Christine Howlett and Devon May, who knocked down 17 kills apiece. A twoway threat, May also finished second on the

team with 13 digs, while senior setter Tamara Nipp enjoyed another great all-around game, finishing with six kills, 55 assists, three blocks, 10 digs, and an ace. The win boosted SFU’s record to 12-2 overall, 5-1 in conference play. “(Saturday’s) game was a back and forth battle,” said SFU head coach Gina Schmidt. “Concordia has been playing some very good volleyball the past few weeks – they have some potent hitters and a well rounded offence. “We did a good job of keeping pace with them offensively. Christine, in particular, gave them a lot of trouble on the right side.” In the comeback, the rally in the second

set demonstrated a lot of team character. A brilliant 6-0 run put the Clan ahead 18-16, as Howlett and May combined for five kills, while Alison McKay dropped an ace. Still, the two sides went back-and-forth, as the Cavaliers pushed ahead 24-23. Then, Howlett and May came up big again, getting three kills in the game’s next four points, allowing SFU to take the set 27-25 on a Concordia attacking error. The third set was decided late – tied 1818, the Clan took control and ended the frame on a 7-2 run. Howlett was again at the forefront, with three kills in that stretch. In the fourth frame, SFU found themselves down 14-8 midway through.The

Clan again flashed its ability to score in bunches, posting a 9-3 run to even it up at 17-17. Instead of Howlett, that run was engineered by three May kills and some excellent defensive coverage that forced the Cavaliers into mistakes on offense. Even-up at 22 apiece, the Clan ended things on a 3-1 burst, getting one last kill each from Howlett and May to seal the result. The Clan, who earlier in the week trumped Western Oregon 3-1, prepares for its next test this Friday against the 10-2 Northwest Nazarene Crusaders, 7 p.m. at SFU’s West Gym.

Burnaby racers endure for fifth

When it comes to endurance races, Burnaby’s Brian Beharrell and Paul Ruben have their feet and wheels firmly planted on the ground – and water, when necessary. The two were among 600 racers to compete at last week’s Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) in Cumberland, placing 12th overall as a competitive team, and fifth in the competitive men’s duo Enduro event, with a time of 5:11:16. The 50-kilometres race saw them utilize various means to cover the course, and finish 32 minutes behind team-of-two champions Mat Hewitt and Tim Musselman of the Okanagan. The MOMAR is an off-road multisport sprint adventure race requiring participants to navigate a series of checkpoints within an eight-hour limit.The discipines include mountain biking, paddling, orienteering and trail running. BURNABY HOCKEY WELCOMES FIRST SHIFT PLAYERS The Burnaby Minor Hockey Association will be hosting its ‘Welcoming Event’ tonight at Bill Copeland Sports Centre, where 40 first-time hockey players will be fitted with new equipment for the current season. The Canadian Tire First Shift program is a Hockey Canada and Bauer Hockey initiative, designed to make the sport more affordable to those who had never experienced the game. With the involvement of Hockey Hall of Famer Mark Messier and his sister Mary-Kay, a director of brand initiatives with Bauer Hockey, the program was designed to help make hockey accessible, affordable and safe for boys and girls ages six to 10, in their first year of hockey. Each player is provided all the equipment and necessities, including a six-week on-ice introduction program, for $199.

Lillian was born in Arborg, Manitoba on Sept. 30 1921 and moved to Wynyard, SK in 1923 with her father Dagmar (Dan) Thorlakson, mother Josefina and two brothers Carl and Harold. As a little girl, she baked 12 loaves of bread each Saturday for the family and helped with preserving food for the long Prairie winters. She graduated from Saskatoon Hospital Nursing School in 1943 and married Warren Peterson (deceased). They had 3 children; Robert, Craig and Kim (Madhuri). She is survived by all three of her children, five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Volunteering was a huge part of her life. Most recently at the church thrift shop, and earlier on the Board of Stewards for the Burnaby United Church. Other volunteer work included Meals on Wheels and she even went back to college at the age of 80! She was a great comfort to her family and a wonderful resource for health information. Lillian traveled to many parts of the world, and took great pride in her Icelandic heritage. She was a true matriarch and we all sought her wise counsel. Lillian had a long life and noted not all the roads were paved, but she always chose to be happy. Her fortitude and strength of character helped her navigate them with great dignity and grace. Her memorial will be held on Saturday October 8th at 1 pm. Please join us for a celebration of her life at South Burnaby United Church, 7591 Gray Avenue, Burnaby.
