They’re back! Chum salmon face an uphill battle as they fight to spawn in Stoney Creek By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Mother Nature has been pretty busy this fall, at least in one Burnaby neighbourhood. Among the homes and trails in the Beaverbrook area of the city runs Stoney Creek. And this year, the waterway is teeming with spawning chum. So far, the count in this year’s salmon run for the creek is about 800 chum, and there are still several weeks before the run is finished. “For this time of year, that’s healthy,” said John Templeton, the chair of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee. “This is a very good start.” On Monday, the group provided a tour of the creek and an opportunity to view the spawning chum. Templeton explained the chum, who are about four years old, come

BCIT student gets probation for voyeurism By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A former BCIT student who was caught peeping on men in a washroom at the Burnaby campus won’t spend any time in jail but

will have a criminal record. On Friday, a provincial court judge handed ChiehSenYang a suspended sentence and two years’ probation for pleading guilty to two counts of voyeurism dating back to the fall

of 2015. According to an agreed statement of facts heard in court, on Oct. 22, 2015, the school received an anonymous report that a person was making recordings in the men’s washroom. An

Asian man was caught on surveillance video, but he was never identified. On Nov. 16, the school received another complaint that the same Asian man was recording people in the stall of a men’s washroom.

In this case, the suspect was still inside the bathroom and was eventually apprehended by police. After he was arrested, Yang confessed to the making the recordings, telling police he also used his

phone to take pictures at Richmond Centre mall. When he was arrested, he was carrying a cellphone, tablet and mirror. On the phone were seven images taken on that day. It was Continued on page 8

Investigation underway: Homicide investigators were called out to Burnaby early Tuesday morning, answering reports of a double stabbing at a homeless camp in the area of Rumble Street and Griffiths Drive.

Man killed in stabbing at homeless camp Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

For the third time this month, homicide investigators have been called to Burnaby. On Tuesday morning, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed it was investigating a double stabbing in Burnaby that left one person dead. According to IHIT, Burnaby RCMP responded to a report of a double stabbing at a homeless camp in the area of Rumble Street and Griffiths Drive. Police found an injured man

who was taken to hospital and has since been released. After searching the area, police found a second man who succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. IHIT noted a 53-yearold man, who was known to the victims, was arrested at scene and could be facing homicide related charges. “At this early stage, this incident appears to be a targeted attack between individuals known to each other,” said IHIT Cpl. Meghan Foster. “Police are looking to obtain information about the events leading up to this

To have repeated incidents where people who are homeless are harmed and fatalities, it is all part of a pretty bleak picture

homicide and are asking anyone with information to come forward.” Police have not released the name of the victim or the suspect. IHIT also noted there is no apparent connection to the homicide at anoth-

er homeless camp a couple weeks ago. On Oct. 9 the body of Kevin William Knuff, 56, was found near a homeless camp on North Road.That investigation is still ongoing. Wanda Mulholland, coordinator of the Society To

End Homelessness in Burnaby, told the NOW she’s troubled by the recent homicides at homeless camps. She noted with low vacancy rates, high cost of rent, and the increasing number of people becoming homeless means the issue of housing has never been more critical. “To have repeated incidents where people who are homeless are harmed and fatalities, it is all part of a pretty bleak picture here,” she said. “We’re losing a lot of people because of the impact of extreme poverty and homelessness. It couldn’t be

more serious” When asked if Burnaby needs a homeless shelter, Mulholland said the city needs a “continuum” of housing, adding that a shelter, transitional housing and affordable housing are all pieces of the issue. Meanwhile, Monday’s incident is Burnaby’s third murder of the month. On Oct. 5, Hee Sook Youn’s body was found in her Burnaby business on North Road.The main suspect, her husbandYoungku Youn, is still being sought by police.

City and volleyball group named in lawsuit Woman seeking damages and health-care costs after a fall at the Harry Jerome Sports Centre Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby and a volleyball organization is being taken to court over an alleged fall that resulted in a broken leg. According to a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Maria Bodog is suing Volleyball B.C. and the City of Burnaby for al-

leged injuries caused by a fall at the Harry Jerome Sports Centre. The suit claims on March 6, Bodog tripped and fell on volleyball netting that protruded into a pedestrian area of the facility, causing an injury. As a result, Bodog who is listed as retired, said she suffered a number of injuries, including a fractured

left femur, multiple abrasions and contusions, anxiety and psychological injury. She is seeking general damages, special damages and the recovery of healthcare costs. The suit, which was filed in late August, claims the fall was a result of negligence by both defendants. Specifically, the suit claims the city is negligent

for the design of the facility, failing to ensure the premises was maintained in a safe condition, and failing to place adequate signs warning of the danger. The suit also claims Volleyball B.C. is negligent for failing to maintain the premises in a safe manner, in particular, the seating area and walkway around the volleyball courts; failing to ensure the netting separating the courts from the public areas did not come out into those areas thereby

creating a hazard; and failing to set up a public viewing and walking area that was safe. The suit also blames Volleyball B.C. for failing to take additional precautions during times of heavy use of the public viewing area and walkways, particularly during tournaments, to ensure the public would be safe in viewing games and in using the walk areas to access other courts. Documents state that injuries continue to cause

Bodog pain, suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life. None of the defendants have filed a response to the lawsuit and none of the allegations have been proven in court. According to Volleyball B.C.’s website, the centre, located at 7564 Barnet Hwy., is a 53,000-squarefoot facility and a primary location for volleyball and other sporting events.The organization also has its offices in the centre.

These swashbucklers are hooked on Halloween Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

One month before her due date, Julie Desroches developed an abdominal infection that forced the birth of her second child via emergency C-section. Baby Emma was fine, but Desroches was not. She was taken to the ICU on Oct. 1, 2008, two weeks after the birth. The infection had taken hold of her intestines, so doctors had to perform multiple bowel surgeries. Complications followed, including a coma and another condition that didn’t allow her to leave the hospital. The mother-of-two would end up missing the first three months of her daughter’s life. “It was traumatic,” recalls the child psychologist, adding she’s still coping with the effects of what happened eight years ago, including low energy levels, chronic pain and exhaustion, a feeling she equates to having the flu. “In hindsight, I’m glad it happened with my second (child) and not my first, so that I could still have hope and understanding that we would be OK, and that we would still bond, and that she was in very good hands. My husband was at home at the time and his mom came and lived with him as well, but it was awful.To be away from her. … Really, it was a fight to survive. I was just in survival mode and just trying to get through each moment of the day. I really wanted to stay alive and have an opportunity to be in their lives,” she explains. To this day, doctors still don’t know what kind of infection it was, but the Burn-

aby resident suspects it was appendicitis gone wrong. While the fight in the hospital bed was hard because of the excruciating pain, Desroches says adjusting to life after she was released was tougher. Because she had been paralyzed during her hospital stay, she had to learn to walk again. “I couldn’t go up the steps in front of our house, so there was just lots of rehabilitation in that way. I guess I assumed when the ordeal was done, I just would get back into my life and be OK, but as it turns out, it had a really significant effect on my body.” A CELEBRATION OF LIFE PROJECT Despite being very weak at times, for the last four years, Desroches has taken any burst of energy and has put it towards spending time with her family and her Halloween passion project – PirateHouse. During her recovery, she spent lots of time watching pirate movies and always took a liking to them – not the scary, murderous ones, but the Robin Hood types. Since 2013, the family of

four has decked out their front lawn at 5970 Portland St. in a pirate theme to raise money for St. Stephen Children’s Centre in Africa. Since its inception, nearly $10,000 has been raised to bring a roof, solar electricity and clean water to the school.The hope this Halloween is to buy desks for the students. Desroches says PirateHouse, which includes an online auction, not only symbolizes resistance and a celebration of life, but it honours the “pirate crew” who helped her fight her illness. One of the most honourable pirates of them all, according to Desroches, is the school’s founder Ben Ssemwogerere, who she met in 2000 while volunteering in Uganda. He had been working on the farm where she had been staying and often offered her a ride on his bicycle to the school where she was teaching. Through their friendship, she found out he was an orphan and had plans to pursue a college education so he could later start up a school. “I was just fascinated by him. He just had this incredible positive attitude,” says Desroches, adding she would go on to sponsor his animal husbandry diploma and a certificate in computer applications. Ssemwogerere was then accepted for an internship in the Netherlands where he’d complete a bachelor of science in agriculture. His goal was to come back and open St. Stephen as a way of offering his community the same opportunity that he was given through Desroches’ sponsorship. “When I was in the hospi-

tal, I thought about him all the time, and thought, ‘OK, this is really hard, but his

life was harder,” she says, noting she plans to travel to Uganda next year for a visit. “He never wallowed in his

own misery, he just kept going, and he went on to help so many other people.”

The Evolution of Chinese Graves Walking Tour

Asian Statues - South Mausoleum, Ocean View Funeral Home Stoney Creek: Members of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee offered friends of the group a tour of the creek Monday to see the chum spawning in the waterway. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Salmon are a good sign Continued from page 1 up from the Fraser River and then Brunette River into the reaches of Stoney Creek to spawn.The group starts counting the salmon around the start of October until mid-November. It’s at that point that the coho also return to creek until the end of the year. Templeton noted only 700 chum were counted in all of last year. A couple years back, some 1,900 chum and 300 coho were counted in the creek. He cautioned it’s too early to say if the count will hit 2,000, but things are looking pretty good for 2016. The organization tracks the statistics for each run and shares them with the federal government and at a regional meeting of stream keepers in early 2017. While the importance of a thriving salmon run is obvious,Templeton sees the fish as the canary in the coalmine for the river.The spawning salmon signal a healthy and thriving ecosystem.

Enjoy a free walking tour exploring the history and evolution of the Chinese community burial practices and its evolution to a modern resting place for new generations. The tour will be conducted by notable Vancouver historian Maurice Guibord. This 2 hour walking tour will cover the early Willow section once referred to a “Mongolia” and will conclude with refreshments in Ocean View Funeral Home.

“It means we’re doing things right,”Templeton told the NOW. It’s a sign (the creek) is healthy. If the water was polluted or dirty, the fish wouldn’t come here.” He also argued the creek has become more than just a stream, pointing out students from nearby high schools and SFU are using the waterway for educational purposes. And with development on the rise in the city, he said it’s important the community be vigilant to make sure the resource is

kept pristine. “People are excited, they love to see these fish,” he said. “It makes them feel good inside.” The health of the creek is good news after a tributary was damaged from a construction mishap last fall. A series of washouts along the Stoney Creek tributary near Gaglardi Way threatened the very existence of the habitat. But just a couple months ago, after some serious rehab work, juvenile coho were swimming among the rocks.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

This election requires a new attitude There can no longer be a business-as-usual attitude by the provincial parties vying for election next spring. There are numerous issues coming into collision course, and it’s not enough to tinker at the margins or raise fears with negative advertising. What’s needed from the parties are some real shifts in policy to ensure B.C. continues to be a viable

place to live and work. Here’s what’s different today since the 2013 election. Then:We took housing for granted. Today:We got bit. It turns out that ignoring the flood of foreign income into the region has turned B.C. into a playground for the rich. Even tiny apartments being built along SkyTrain lines have a $100,000 premium.What

this means is young adults have to lower their expectations considerably and either give up living in the Lower Mainland or having kids, or both. What’s needed: A sensible plan that ensures people can live here and raise their families here. Then: People accepted that daycare was a private concern. Today: If it’s too late

to save housing, can daycare be made more affordable so young people can still have kids? The NDP’s John Horgan has promised $10-a-day daycare, but estimates are that it would cost $1 billion to $1.5 billion to pay for it.Where will the money come from? What’s needed: A drastic shift in priorities to lower the cost of daycare. Then: LNG develop-

ment was the magic bullet to provide jobs in the future. Now:That hasn’t happened.The majority of jobs being created now are lowwage and part-time service jobs.There are good jobs that pay well, but the cost of tuition is putting young people in the poorhouse. The Liberals’ Skills for Jobs Blueprint to boost education in high-demand areas is a good first step, and the

revised education system with its focus on 21st-century skills will help prepare future generations. What’s needed: Properly funded kindergarten to Grade 12 and post-secondary education to meet rising costs. Business as usual? No. Let’s expect more from our politicians than the usual business.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

A tireless voice for B.C.’s youth B.C. has enjoyed the services of a lot of independent Officers of the Legislature – Ombudsman, Privacy Commissioner, Auditor-General, etc. – but none have made their mark quite like the one who leaves her post this week. Mary-Ellen TurpelLafond is stepping aside as the Representative of Children andYouth after nearly a decade at the helm, and to say it’s been a rocky ride is putting it mildly. She has proved to be unflinching in her criticism of government and relentless in her demands for change to better improve the plight of children, particularly those in care of the government.Turpel-Lafond has clashed with cabinet ministers, front-line social workers, First Nations care agencies and retired deputy ministers over the years. Her tenacity is unquestioned, although some have questioned whether her often abrasive, confrontational approach was always effective. In fact, it has been argued whether much concrete progress was made in the past few months, as the relationship between her office and the Children and Family Development Ministry seemed to deteriorate badly in the wake of her harsh criticism of its handling of a child custody case. But even that does not detract from the fact that for almost 10 years she held government’s feet to the fire in ways that produced change and highlighted gaps in the system. She produced

90 reports containing more than 200 recommendations, and close to three-quarters of them have been implemented. Still, for all her success, it begs the question of whether things have really improved. In fact, in her exit interview with me for Global B.C. recently, I asked her to assign a letter grade to the government’s performance when she first took office and one as she leaves the office. She says the government has gone from a “D” grade to a mere “C” one. She is not confident things will continue to improve in any significant way. A big problem, from her perspective, is a chronic lack of resources. “I do worry about the future.Will we have a public service in the future? There are offices that have been emergency staffed for decades and they have never taken steps to pay them appropriately, to recruit and retain. It is a drop in the bucket,” she said. When she started the job, there were about 10,000 kids in care, and now there are 7,000, but the number still needs to be much lower, she says – she would like to see that number down to 3,000. Indeed, the many problems that exist in the child welfare system seem so vast and often overwhelming, but they are undoubtedly fewer in number as a result of Turpel-Lafond’s work. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City council cheesed off a developer in September when it slapped a moratorium on Phase 2 development in the Metrotown core until Phase 1 was built and occupied. Mayor Bill Lewarne said council wanted to protect the area from overbuilding resulting in commercial space sitting empty.The move effectively blocked the planned expansion of Cal Investment’s Metrotown Centre, including The Bay and 100 other stores, by fall 1988.

Justice system takes part of the blame Dear Editor Re: Sister: ‘We’re all having lots of trouble,’ Burnaby NOW, Oct. 21. Thank you for reporting this heartbreaking hit and run tragedy. It is beyond comprehension. And so, upon sentencing as set for some future date, Mr. Ibrahim Ali, a convicted felon, will serve his time only to once again be released. For taking the innocent and precious life of 25-year-old Emily Sheane, by dangerous driving causing death and then fleeing the scene, criminals such as Mr. Ali, should never be released. Showing such brazen behaviour while having a total disregard for life and then permanently destroying a family in the fallout, such a person cannot be rehabbed. “It’s super frustrating because he never learnt anything the first time.” (Sister Jenny Berger) According to the Vancouver Sun, Ali has a past including being sentenced to almost four years in prison back in 2012 for a home invasion. It is inevitable that our “justice” system, upon seeing Mr. Ali serve his time and then releasing him back out into society, will also be to blame for not learning anything the first time.

It’s time to stop the bulldozers in the city Dear Editor Recently the No Vacancy Report – Affordability & Homelessness in (Greater) Vancouver, by the University of Victoria (UVIC) and United Gospel Mission (UGM) was published and reveals the shocking numbers. How is it possible our Mayor Derek Corrigan and his councillors dismiss any pledges from the people they swore to take care of? What is going on? Is everyone sitting on their hands with their mouths duct-taped? How can the people that we elected as our representatives consciously execute a “masterful rezoning plan” that leads to extinguishing entire neighbourhoods and people’s lives? More and more tenants are forced out of their rentals with no place to go. There are no alternatives available. 1,200 people in Burnaby are on the waiting list for affordable housing, it’s 12,500 in Greater Vancouver and 14,000 in all of B.C. The situation gets worse by the hour, with the approval of every new condo highrise development that leads to demolishing rental buildings and the eviction of its tenants. This merciless series of demovictions must stop. We need more affordable housing, not less. The City of Burnaby is taking away what is already sparse, without a plan to replace the 1,400 rental units in the Metrotown area. Between 3,500 to 6,000 renters are in the line of the bulldozer. Many renters are very worried and in disbelief that this is happening to them here in broad daylight the Metrotown neighbourhood. Why is nobody stopping this craziness? Are the mayor and the councillors failing us? I truly hope the City of Burnaby will come to terms and put a stop to their wrongful doing and let the people be. Erika Schinzel, Burnaby

Shop Ciofﬁ’s Mayor says refinery is welcome to stay in city This Week’s Specials On Sale October 27 - October 30, 2016 MikeB Somehow I am getting mixed messages from Corrigan when he says he doesn’t like the city being made a conduit for oil going offshore. Rather than being against the risks of the pipeline is he just philosophically against oil going to Asia? If this oil was just going to be shipped to Eastern Canada or Vancouver Island would he be ok with the pipeline regardless of any environment risks? Kisai Oh Corrigan . If the refinery leaves, it’s your fault for being so anti-pipeline. Those are two directly correlated things. You know what is going to happen now? The refinery, pipelines, tanks, etc, will be sold to some developer who will just tear it all down and build some new unaffordable single family homes. Remember what happened to Ioco. The consequences of that will be the doubling of fuel prices during high demand, and extreme fuel shortages during bad weather. Fuel will have to be imported from Washington state or shipped by truck from Alberta. So much for trying to be green. Is a ban on diesel and gasoline-engine cars being sold next on the agenda? The City of Vancouver seems to think they can ban Natural Gas and not have consequences on the electrical generation capacity. Will Corrigan exacerbate the problem by chasing the oil refinery away? Will we see “Consevation of fuel” campaigns like we see BC Hydro do with Electricity? It’s a house of cards. No pipeline capacity, no refinery, no fuel for Metro Vancouver, cost of goods goes up.

Unlike Kennedy Stewart, I don’t remember him ever worrying about housing issues in the last 12 years.

Shoe robbery warning Burnaby Mounties are reminding the public to be cautious when meeting up with a stranger to buy or sell used items online. It was a lesson learned for one Burnaby man, after he was robbed by a group of men for his expensive Nike Air Jordan shoes. The incident unfolded at around 6 p.m. last Thursday when the victim met up with someone 15th Street and 13th Avenue to sell some shoes. It’s at that time,

one of the men threatened that he had a gun, and took off with the shoes. By the time police arrived, the men were gone but at some point they dropped the shoes in the process. One of the suspects was described as a black man between the ages of 18 and 20, wearing a dark hoodie and blue jeans. Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis suggested if people are going to sell an item to a stranger, they

do so in a very public place. He also recommended people know who they’re talking to and get numbers and information to prevent the exchange from going bad. “You’ve got to know the people you’re selling to, and maybe rethink meeting anonymously on a street corner,” Buis told the NOW, adding police deal with such cases on occasion. -Jeremy Deutsch

Voyeur banned from BCIT Continued from page 1 noted in court, police didn’t find any other images. During his confession, Yang told police he knew what he was doing was wrong but did it for several reasons, including pressure from school, curiosity and the thrill involved. He compared carrying out the acts to a news reporter getting a scoop. He also told police he only recorded men because recording women would be “wrong.” The details ofYang’s psychiatric and sentencing report were also heard in court. Judge H. Dhillon notedYang, who no longer attends BCIT, had a difficult upbringing before moving to Canada from Taiwan and was estranged from his family.The report also suggested the 24-year-old was struggling with his sexual identity. While Crown was asking for a suspended sentence, which would giveYang a criminal record, the defence was asking for a conditional discharge. In handing down her sen-

tence, Dhillon notedYang had no criminal record and appeared motivated to get help.The judge also said she has “tremendous sympathy” forYang, adding he is a very isolated young man with no support. However, Dhillon also called the acts a “serious invasion of personal privacy.” She said a sentence in today’s day and age should send a message to the public that such an invasion will

be condemned by criminal law. As part of the sentence, Yang was ordered to attend sexual offender treatment programs and take any counselling directed by his probation officer. He’s also banned from BCIT and Richmond Centre and isn’t allowed to have any electronic devices in a public change room or bathroom.

Bookkeeper’s trial continues

Questions raised over how unendorsed cheques cleared school account Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Questions about how un-endorsed third-party cheques and cheques signed by someone without signing authority cleared a Burnaby school’s bank account for two years were raised at a fraud trial in B.C. Provincial Court last week. Former Alpha Secondary School bookkeeper Jodi Fingarsen is on trial for bilking the school of about $67,000 by fraudulently depositing school cheques into her personal bank account at President’s Choice (PC) Financial. After she was suspended by the school district in April 2010, district investigators got online access to the school’s bank account atVancouver City Savings Credit Union (Vancity) and discovered electronic copies of 78 cheques with Fingarsen’s personal account number stamped on the back. All had been deposited at automated teller machines (ATMs). “Whoever deposits the cheque, their information is automatically stamped by the bank on the back of the cheque, so the only way the information could have been put on the back of the cheque is if she deposited it into her account,” former school district financial services manager Patricia Bisset told the court. Most of the cheques had been made out either to businesses owed money by the school for goods and services or to individuals connected to the school seeking reimbursement for school-related out-of-pocket expenses. Defence lawyer John

Banks argued it was an assumption to say Fingarsen had deposited the cheques into her account, since the deposits were all made at ATMs and neither Bisset nor any other school official to testify so far has ever seen a photo or video of the former bookkeeper making the deposits. CHEQUES CLEARED One fact that hasn’t been disputed in court, however, is that the cheques deposited into Fingarsen’s account – the same account the district used to pay her salary – all cleared the school’sVancity account. Former vice-principal Sandi Lauzon, who worked as a bank teller for 10 years before starting her teaching career, said she didn’t expect cheques she signed to pay bus companies and reimburse staff members would be deposited into Fingarsen’s personal account as third-party cheques. “I would have thought, having worked at a bank, that you can’t actually do that,” she said. But a third-party cheque can be deposited through an ATM whether or not it has the proper endorsement from the payee on the back, confirmed CraigWoodward, area manager for PC Financial – Fingarsen’s bank. Woodward couldn’t say if there was any process at his financial institution to look at third-party cheques deposited at ATMs to make sure they’ve been properly endorsed before they’re processed. Not long after Fingarsen was suspended, a CBC investigation into another case of third-party cheques

fraudulently deposited at ATMs in Maple Ridge in 2011 revealed staff atVancity routinely did not verify or even look at payee names, signatures or endorsements on ATM-deposited cheques before sending them to central clearing centres, where the amounts are transferred between banks electronically. AVancity account manager at the time said that was standard practice at Canadian banks because of the sheer volume of cheques deposited through ATMs. That appeared to be the case with Alpha’s cheques. NO SIGNING AUTHORITY After Fingarsen was suspended, the school learned former vice-principal Dianne Carr had been signing cheques for a year without having proper signing authority at the bank. Last week, Fingarsen’s lawyer questioned how that could have happened if school and bank officials were doing their jobs. But Carr, Lauzon, former principal Ron Hall and former office manager Maria Jensen all testified Carr had signed the school’sVancity business account signature form so she could be added as a signatory, only she had done it in the school office – on Fingarsen’s recommendation – instead of at the bank branch. School officials said they later learned the new signature page had never been added to the account. But that didn’t stop cheques signed by Carr from clearing the school’s account. “To put it in a general sense,Vancity is not taking any responsibility for

the cheques going through someone’s account, whether they’re the wrong signatures or whatever; that’s the responsibility of the account holder,” Banks said toVancity loss prevention manager Sascha Santos. “That is correct,” she said. That was news to Hall when it was revealed in 2010 that Carr had not actually been a signing authority. “I assumed, if she was not a signing officer, that the bank would have contacted us and said, ‘You have someone signing your cheques that is not a signing officer,’” Hall said. But Santos said the bank’s cardholder agreement states account holders are responsible for reviewing their statements every 30 days and for reporting any inconsistencies to the bank. Hall, however, told the court he had been hamstrung because he said Fingarsen did not provide him with bank statements regularly and, when she did, she didn’t include copies of cleared cheques. Banks suggested Hall could easily have gotten access to Alpha’s online account and simply clicked on debit entries to see electronic copies of cleared cheques. “My job does not entail that,” Hall said. “The bookkeeper is managing that. ... I’ll be honest, with the duties of a principal … you have to rely on the people that you work with to be managing the work properly.There are checks and balances that’ll only go so far.” Fingarsen’s trial continues Nov. 16, 17 and 18.

On Oct. 18, Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef told the

Guitarist brings one-man show to Shadbolt Chase Padgett returns with Nashville Hurricane Nov. 4 and 5 Anyone who caught Chase Padgett’s hit show 6 Guitars last year will be glad to hear he’s making a return to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Padgett is returning Nov. 4 and 5 for Nashville Hurricane. The 75-minute one-man show tells the story of a mysterious acoustic guitarist who appeared from nowhere 40 years ago to conquer the music industry then vanished without a trace. Padgett becomes a manager, a mother, a mentor and the guitar prodigy himself as each character tells their side of the rise, demise and resurrection of the best guitar player you’ve never heard of: Henry Waltrip, a.k.a. the Nashville Hurricane.

It traces Waltrip’s journey from his humble trailer park beginnings alongside his “white trash” mother, Brenda, to his gigs with his blues-playing mentor,Tyron. “The stories and songs unfold into hilarious rants on love and music, a riveting tale involving the dark side of show biz, and blazing guitar work any audience is sure to rave about, such as the finale: a one-man acoustic DevilWent Down to Georgia.” Nashville Hurricane takes to the stage Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4 and 5, at the Shadbolt Centre, 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Tickets are $30 to $38 and available through tickets.shadboltcentre.com or by calling 604-205-3000.

Retrospective Views set to open at Deer Lake Gallery The past meets the present in a new exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery. The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting RetrospectiveViews, featuring artwork by Sabine Simons and Chris Robson, from Nov. 5 to 26. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Nov. 5 from noon to 4 p.m. “Retrospective is a unique combination of traditional and non-traditional techniques that find their origins in the historic aspects of our society,” a press release explains. Robson’s work draws on impressionism and naïve art,

using reduction printing and pencil drawings. A member of the Malaspina Printmakers Society, Robson lives in the Northwest Territory. “His work has the rhythms of music and a simpler society freed of the idioms of the current day,” reads the release. Simons, meanwhile, uses a number of modern mediums to approach the subject matter of the past – including image transfer, collage and resin. “Highlighting the architectural aspects of Burnaby with her intuitive process, she adds beautiful vivid co-

Local artists featured at Inclusion Art Show Two Burnaby artists are part of an art show celebrating inclusion. posAbilities, a non-profit organization that supports people with developmental disabilities, is holding its 12th annual INCLUSION art show and sale on Oct. 26 and 27 at Vancouver’s Heritage Hall. Among the artists are Burnaby’s Rebecca Nosella and Dan Tell. Nosella is a 25-year-old who has both cerebral palsy and a rare neurological disorder called Aicardi syndrome. She has limited vision and can not talk, but she continues to produce enough artwork to sell out shows. “With the support of friends and her mum, she is able to create an abstract style with vibrant colours without the use of lines,” explains a write-up about the artists. “Her unique technique includes the use of everyday objects like pot

scrubbers and squeegees, along with acrylic paint that bring out the textures and effects found in her brilliant art pieces.” Tell is an avid potter who has been involved with the PotteryWorks studio for about 13 years. He also paints landscapes and scenes from nature.

Local businesses conﬁdent, growing and happy in Burnaby says BBOT Business Sentiment Report Central Location and Transportation/Access cited as Burnaby’s strengths; Regional housing affordability noted as a concern By Cory Redekop cory@bbot.ca Burnaby businesses are doing well and ﬁnd the city’s central location and its transportation network access a boon to business according to a recently released Business Sentiment Report prepared by the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT). The report was the result of nearly 100 interviews held with local businesses as part of a Business Walk—an economic development activity— in the Lake City-Production Way district conducted by the BBOT.

Top 3 benefits of doing business in Burnaby:

• Central Location • Transportation/Access • Customers and Clients

Burnaby Board of Trade ﬁnalist at Canadian Chamber of Commerce Competition

63% of the businesses interviewed by the BBOT stated that business activity was growing and 35% reported it holding steady, with declines only noted by 1% of respondents. When asked, 90% of interviewees said they would try to stay in Burnaby if forced to ﬁnd new premises for their business. Burnaby’s geographic location at the centre of the region and its transportation network of roads, buses and SkyTrain were named as major strengths and beneﬁts to business by 95% and 73% of businesses respectively. Other positive aspects of doing business in Burnaby noted were access to a customer base (41%), a business friendly environment (35%) and affordability of space to lease/own (30%). The biggest challenge reported by the business community is hiring and retaining employees, a difficulty mentioned by 43% of businesses interviewed. Many businesses

directly linked the high cost of housing to their difficulties in attracting and retaining employees and 43% of interviewees identified housing affordability in the region as a major issue affecting their business. “We feel it is very important for us, as the voice of local business, to go out into our community and talk with businesses face-toface. It takes a lot of effort to door-knock so many businesses, but the feedback we get is invaluable to our role as Burnaby’s leading business association and advocate,” states Paul Holden, BBOT President & CEO. “We were very happy to see how well businesses are doing and how positively they view Burnaby as a business destination, and we will now work to find ways of addressing any issues of concerns that were identified.” The full Business Sentiment Report can be found at www.bbot.ca/advocacy. ¾

By Devon Hardie devon@bbot.ca On September 17th, the Burnaby Board of Trade took home third place in the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Competition held in Regina, Saskatchewan. President and CEO, Paul Holden, was one of three finalists asked to present on the topic of innovative chamber programming. The Burnaby Board of Trade has been working for years to differentiate itself from the homogeneous, “economycentric membership entity” label by focusing on a triple bottom-line approach to business and member-engagement and we are grateful that for the recognition we have received through this competition. Remaining relevant in a quickly changing and competitive business environment is one of today’s biggest challenges for member associations. With competing services and benefits, the proliferation of sector specific associations and events, and an increasingly segmented and diverse business community, new strategies must be used to attract, engage and retain members. There are several key programs that contributed to the BBOT nomination as a finalist at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce Competition and all of these initiatives have had a significant impact on both its level of

We have thus embarked on various green initiatives such as: • Organics recycling • Striving towards a paperless system where possible • Using energy efficient equipment New Beginnings In 2015, in an effort to diversify our funding, we partnered with Inclusion BC in Clothes Drop, a clothing collection/

recycling program. Since embarking on this initiative, we have become more aware of the large environmental impact made through recycling various materials and the compounding consequences from throwing out clothing and household items. Did you know? • North Americans send 10.5 million tons of clothing to landﬁlls every year, 95% of which could be recycled • It can take over 700 gallons of water to make one new cotton t-shirt, this is more water than a person can drink in 5 years • Clothing donation bins across Canada prevent more than 650 million pounds of goods from reaching landﬁlls annually. That’s equivalent to 13,000 cedar trees! The Clothes Drop initiative works with various partners to place donation bins in locations within our communities. As a social function, it turns donated clothing items into funds that are used to start innovative services and enhance existing programs and services we offer to assist people with

developmental disabilities. Environmentally, we are proud to assist in diverting thousands of recyclables from entering the landﬁll and saving our natural resources by providing a convenient location for the community to donate and engage. Seeing the result of this environmentally and socially impactful initiative has opened up a world of possibilities and has sparked a larger conversation within posAbilities around the ways we can continue working on expanding our sustainable practices. In the end, it’s about the community and environment that we all take part in improving. Drop your clothes and improve lives in Vancouver and Burnaby.

Post-secondary students network at launch of Access Leadership Program By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca On October 3rd the BBOT launched its Access Student Career Development Program at Burnaby’s Spacekraft. In its fifth year, the post-secondary leadership program focusses on giving soon-to-graduate post-secondary students an edge on the competitive job market. The evening combined networking with program sponsors, mentors, students, committee chairs and alumni, allowing current students the opportunity to learn first-hand how to take advantage of the program’s many offerings. The 7 month long program has 4 key pillars: mentorship, networking, workshops and committee participation. The committees, led by former Access students who graduated with distinction, allow students to demonstrate leadership through collaboration and help deliver on key programming for Access. Participation in the committees allows students to graduate with distinction, a great benefit for students entering the job market. Paul Holden, President and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade says, “ The Access program has grown over the years to help

students develop business networks and business leadership skills. Our goal, of course, is to entice graduates of the program to launch and grow their careers in Burnaby’s business community.”

BBOT celebrates Small Business Week with the “Cookie Walk” By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca In honour of Small Business Week which kicked off October 17th, the BBOT team took to the streets armed with locally made

membership

cookies from Valley Bakery to drop by and personally thank our small businesses for choosing Burnaby to grow their business. Dubbed the “Cookie Walk” the BBOT visited hundreds of businesses in the Heights, Edmonds, Henning Drive and Kingsway neighbourhoods. There’s good reason to celebrate our community’s small business community. B.C.’s entrepreneurs and small business owners work hard to grow their businesses, and in the process they strengthen their communities, create jobs and expand the provincial economy. Small businesses are also one of the main reasons British Columbia leads the country in economic growth. They represent 98% of businesses in B.C. and span many sectors—from technology to

guide outﬁtters, retail to natural resources, agriculture to our emerging aerospace industry. All of these types of small businesses contribute to exporting $12.9 billion worth of made-in-B.C. products and expertise all around the world. In addition to supporting B.C.’s economy, small businesses also help make up the social hub of neighbourhoods throughout the province. Many provide opportunities for young people and new British Columbians to enter the workforce, while others champion causes to give to those in need, or sponsor local sports and cultural programs. Here’s to the small businesses in our community. Thank YOU for choosing to do business in Burnaby! ¾

‘Fifty-ﬁve? You are just a kid at 55,’ says Jack Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@burnabynow.com

Forget about sitting out his later years relaxing in a rocking chair. Jack Thomas might be 90 years old, but he’s still putting in a full day’s work. Thomas, a Burnaby resident, is a clerk at the Royal Square Safeway in New Westminster. He may well be the oldest general clerk in Safeway’s history, but he doesn’t look at the job he’s held for many years as drudgery. Instead, he sees the benefits of keeping busy and earning a few bucks to supplement his pension. “I am happy here. I love doing what I am doing, I really do,” he said earnestly. “I look forward to coming to work.” While many workers dream of retiring at 65 – or younger – Thomas has never aspired to reach Freedom 55. “Fifty-five?” he said. “You are just a kid at 55.You’ve got a lot of living to do.” Thomas, who turned 90 on Sept. 30, started working at Safeway when he was 72. A general clerk,Thomas stocks and organizes shelves on the graveyard shift two or three nights a week – and has no plans to retire anytime soon. “I feel good.You are exercising all night long, you are walking all night long.You are up and you are down, your arms are going.Time goes so fast.” If you think Safeway makes concessions because of Thomas’s age, you’d be wrong.Watch him work, and you’ll see for yourself as he moves with ease around the store. “He is not accommodated in any fashion. He is just an amazing guy. He’s up

On the night shift: Jack Thomas may well be the oldest general clerk in Safeway’s history.

and down. It’s a fairly physical job, lifting heavy totes off of pallets and stocking them to the shelves,” said store manager Steve Nicoll. “Honestly, he is one of the harder working people in the store. Forget his age. He is a super reliable guy.” Coworkers are equally complimentary about Thomas. “He’s better than the young boys,” said one coworker. “The young boys can’t move like him.” “He’s a good co-worker,” said another. “Everybody

loves him.” Thomas said his decision to continue working is a combination of needing to

make money and wanting to keep busy. “I am paying rent.You’ve got your cable and your hydro, the same as anybody

else.You’ve got your bills, you’ve got your car payment and car insurance.There are never ending bills,” he said. “Everybody is in the same boat.” WORK ETHIC STARTED IN CHILDHOOD Hard work is nothing new for Thomas. He is the youngest of four boys born to Phillip and Jean Grace Thomas, who owned a 320-acre farm in Holland, Man., about 90 miles away from Winnipeg. When Thomas was a boy,

the farm didn’t yet have a tractor so planting and harvesting crops like wheat, oats and barley was done by hand or with help from horses. In the winter, the Thomas boys would travel almost five kilometres to cut down trees, haul them home with a team of horses and a sleigh, have dinner and fetch another load of trees to fuel the furnace and stove. Some days, the boys would walk two miles to get to school; other days they’d take the horse and buggy.

“I got as far as into Grade 9 and that’s when mother passed away,” said Thomas, who was just 13 when his mother died of a stroke at the age of 50. “That was devastating.That’s not supposed to happen.” MOVING ON Eventually,Thomas left the farm when he was still a teen, living in Winnipeg and Calgary, and then arriving on the West Coast in the 1950s.

Seniors’ college looking to ﬁll seats for fall semester Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Community Centred College for the Retired is still accepting students for its fall semester. As the name implies, the school is for seniors aged 55 and over. But it’s not like a traditional college. The non-profit organization, established in 1973, seeks to maintain the social and mental well-being of its older students. Course offerings include languages (Mandarin, Spanish and French), computer classes (from desktop basics to introduction to Excel), genealogy, reading, creative writing and music. “Some people want to learn how to play the piano. Maybe they took lessons when they were a youngster.They’ve got a whiff of it now and maybe want to come back,” said Dave Mannings, president of the

college. There are even courses in bridge (intermediate level) and Mah-Jong for the “more-than-beginner” type. For anyone who wants to learn calligraphy, quilting,

Some people want to learn how to play the piano…

knitting, crocheting, how to make greeting cards or how to paint with watercolours, the school has those, too. One of the popular courses is the iPad class, which dives into useful iPad functions and apps.The eight sessions are designed for someone new to the technology and for those who wish to brush up on the ba-

sics. “There’s a social element that goes on,” Mannings added. “Some people have said, “This has been my lifeline, just to come and to take courses, get acquainted with like-minded people.’” The Community Centred College for the Retired is run by some 30 volunteers and courses are affordable, averaging between $20 and $70. Besides the cost for each course, students must also pay a yearly $10 membership fee. The college, located at 6650 Southoaks Cres., is

open all year round, except for summer and a couple weeks at Christmas. Classes are only offered during the day. Information brochures can be picked up at the Burnaby and New Westminster libraries, or at most community centres in the city. Registration must be done in person at the school. Acceptable payment is cash or cheque only. For more info, visit www. cccrburnaby.org or call 604517-8732.

Seniors’ centre celebrates 90+ club with tea party

Tea and biscuits: About 34 seniors who are 90+ years old attended a party at Confederation Centre recently.

About 60 Confederation Centre members are over 90 Confederation Centre held a 90s tea party for its 90-plus members on Oct. 3. There were 34 seniors in attendance, five of whom were men.The oldest of the bunch was 97. Lulu Chavez, the centre’s wellness program coordinator, said this was an inaugural event for the club, which has about 60 members over 90 and close to 2,000 members in total. “We’re realizing (our seniors) are living longer,” she told the NOW. “We had tea and cookies. It was amazing.” Chavez said the party gave people an opportunity to dress up and catch up with old friends. “They talked about the places where they used to be, where they grew up. Some said, ‘We were neighbours and it’s been 30 years since the last time I saw her.’

“There was one (member) who was so excited about wearing her dress again, and even her little high heels. She was kind of showing off. I said, ‘Look at you, how beautiful you are.’ It was so nice to see that,” Chavez said.

This is an opportunity to come to your other family. We have become family with our people

When it comes to wellness and maintaining an active lifestyle, Chavez noted

the easiest activity for seniors to do is walk. Even if a walker is needed, it’s good to get between five and 15 minutes a day. “Go around your kitchen. It’s important to maintain each little thing,” she said, adding throwing in a couple of squats or wall push-ups help as well. To be a part of Confederation Centre’s 55+ club, there is an $18.10 yearly fee for single-centre use and a $43.50 yearly fee for anyone interested in using the other centres in Burnaby. Citizens 90 years and up can contact their local centre and inquire about a lifetime membership. Confederation Centre is home to a seniors’ lounge, a strength-training room, an activity room, a computer room, a banquet hall and an arts and crafts room. There’s also a coffee bar

and a lunch program that runs Monday to Friday. Lunch tickets are $8 and include a main course, dessert and coffee or tea. For Chavez, it’s about creating a supportive environment. “Many of them have lost their spouses.This is an opportunity to come to your other family.We have become family with our people,” she said. The building is located at 4585 Albert St. It’s open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from noon till 4 p.m. For more information, call 604-294-1936.

‘I can’t say there is any secret. Be yourself’: Jack Thomas Continued from page 28 includes work as a cook, a ballroom dance instructor, a travelling salesman and a parking lot attendant. In Vancouver,Thomas landed a job at the Pacific National Exhibition, where he worked for many years and enjoyed perks such as seeing performers like Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton and guarding the Stanley Cup in 1982. “Some nights you’d work a football game and it would be over if it was an early game, and then you’d race to the Coliseum because there was an event on there and they were short staffed.You’d get eight, maybe 10 hours.You could work seven days a week,” he said. “We used to have the car shows, the boat shows. Everything was at the PNE.” After being hired at Safeway,Thomas continued to take time off so he could work as a night foreman at the fair every summer. “I loved working the fair,” he said. “There was just so much going on.”

THEN CAME MARRIAGE Vancouver was also the place where Thomas met his wife Claira, whom he married in 1964. The couple, who had never taken a honeymoon, vacationed in Hawaii in the winter of 1978, soaking up the sun and enjoying their three-week stay in a beautiful beachfront home. “That was super,”Thomas said, smiling at the memory. “In the spring of 1979 my wife had a stroke.That was bad.” Despite rehabilitation, Claira never recovered from the effects of the stroke, losing her ability to speak and movement on the right side of her body. “She was in the hospital for 25 years before she passed away,”Thomas said. “They gave her good care. It’s a lot of work.You are working and you are visiting, working and visiting for 25 years. It was rough.” LIFE KEEPS HIM MOVING Thomas, who suffered a heart attack in 1974, had quadruple bypass surgery in October 2004. A month lat-

er, Claira died. “That was a rough time. Then again, you have friends to rely on.That’s where good friends come in,” he said. “You turn the page. I am doing what I want to do. I am happy.You can’t cry over spilled milk.” These days, regular walks around Central Park in Burnaby, outings with friends and his job at Safeway keep Thomas on the go. “People always say, what’s your secret? I can’t say there is any secret,” he said. “Be yourself. Know what you are capable of doing.” While Thomas said his 90th birthday was “just another day,” he was pleased to celebrate with co-workers at Safeway. He also celebrated with relatives, including some who flew town for a birthday celebration. “Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you,” he told the NOW a few days after being called to set up a time to meet for an interview. “I was busy partying on the weekend. It was just a blast.”

Be mindful and don’t keep living a ‘virtual’ life DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

All of us dream each night (or day after working a graveyard shift), but we don’t remember most of those dreams.Yet if you’ve awakened soon after a dream has ended or had a dream interrupted by sudden awakening, you may recall your dreams. Odd and strange things happened, the world seemed a little crazier or the people in your life acted out of character.Through all of this, you may not have questioned the reality of your dream world because you didn’t realize you were dreaming. You may have awakened in a sad mood or with anxiety even when your life was going well. Sometimes a dream with its imagined fictional reality and its attendant thoughts leave a residue of emotion. Recognizing that it was just a dream and that you are awake and grounding yourself in reality, you can return to emotional balance. In a lucid dream, you are aware that you are dreaming and you may even be able to exert some control over

the dream world’s characters, stories and situations. It’s like being in a play and recognizing that you are an actor and not the character you are playing and that you are moving about on a stage and not in the real world. To develop this awareness while dreaming, a common practice is to ask yourself throughout the day, “Am I dreaming?”When this becomes a habit, you will ask

Think back to your most vivid memories the same question while dreaming and realize that you are dreaming. But a more important question to ask yourself is “Am I awake?” because in your waking life it is so easy to fall into the trance of virtual living.This may be the spiritual disease of our time. The more we are connected online, the less we are connected with everything else – where we are, with whom we’re with and what we really feel. Distracted driving is illegal for good reason. Using electronic devices can

reduce our responsiveness to visual stimuli by 50 per cent and greatly increase the odds of an accident. Our eyes may be momentarily diverted, but it is our minds that are distracted. Even without the aid of computers, televisions, tablets and smartphones, we are often lost in a train of thought. Electronic distractions just make it worse. It has become so tempting to pull the phone out at any idle moment even when it is not ringing, vibrating or alerting you with a text or Facebook update. You may be a passenger in a car where you could be talking with a friend or family member, at a coffee shop when you could be chatting with a stranger or the barista, on an elevator when you could make eye contact and talk about the weather, or walking when you should be looking where you’re going. Have you ever wasted 15 minutes texting back and forth with a friend and then realized you could have worked out where and when to meet with a twominute call? Think back to your most vivid memories – when you were most happy and felt most alive. I doubt it was when you were playing a

video game, saw aYouTube video or read a text.You were probably not rushing into the future or pulled back by hurts and regrets from the past. We are happiest and most at peace when we are fully awake and present, not leaning forward or backwards.These may be mo-

ments connecting with the beauty of nature – a sunset, a lake, a garden or forest.You may have been connected with your body – enjoying a great meal, the warmth of the fireplace or the touch of someone you love.You may have been most connected with others – enjoying a good face-

to-face conversation or just spending time together with family and friends. This is real life – when you are fully present, when you are awake. For more on mindfulness and achieving your positive potential in health, see Dr. Wong’s website at www.david icuswong.wordpress.com.

Wildcats gear up for playoffs Dan Olson

A clear path: With a burst of speed, Burnaby Lake’s Jack Caithness eludes the last Capilano defender en route to the try line during Saturday’s premier men’s rugby game at Burnaby Lake. At bottom right, Dan Josok runs into a Capilano tackle. Burnaby Lake would prevail 43-10. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Josok jukes for three

Flyhalf Mike Goodall pried the ball from a ruck and helped set up Cole McQueen’s 22-metre try early in Saturday’s contest, then nailed the convert which proved to be the game-winning kick in the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s 43-10 victory over Capilano RFC last Saturday in premier men’s play. Goodall’s first convert made the score 12-0, and came a handful of minutes after Dan Josok had opened the scoring off a pass from Jeke Gotegote. Before the half, Josok picked up his second try, Kimi Vunituraga corralled a loose ball and shook off two tacklers en route to the end zone, and Jack Caithness made a

mad dash to make it 29-3. Vunituraga got the ball rolling in the second half, intercepting a pass that he offloaded to Fuku Vikilani who in turn fed Josok for his third try of the game. Goodall’s third convert of the day propped Burnaby ahead 36-3, with the final try coming from Giuseppe Laudisio, again set up by Vunituraga. The win boosts BLRC’s record to 5-0 in the Mainland premier circuit. In men’s first division action, Burnaby overwhelmed its Capilano counterpart 50-3, led by twin tries from Andrew Porter and a try and four converts by Cian Keegan.

Measured, composed and determined – the Burnaby Central Wildcats head into the league high school senior boys’ soccer playoffs in an ideal place. Provincial bronze medallists a year ago, the returning players brought lofty expectations into this season. After wrapping up Burnaby-New West league at a perfect 6-0, the Wildcats’ path to a return to the B.C.s is fairly basic – but by no means easy. “I’d say the key to this season so far is we had a lot of guys come back from last year, who were Grade 11s, and that has given us a pretty strong core,” remarked co-coach Anto Steko, who works the sidelines along with Ibrahim Adamu. “Those players who moved up (from junior) have just added to that mix.” All the players are products of high level programs, whether it be HPL, metro or gold squads.The club has also benefitted from a few who trained in the Whitecaps Residency program. “It’s a pretty dynamic group,” said Steko. “We have some guys who are still regular kids, but when they are at the field and the ball’s in play, everyone is on the same page.” Among the veterans are Brady Hughes and Nathan Graziano – the latter has missed much of the season but is expected to be ready for some playoff action – while Gr. 11 Filip Rakic has made a quick transition. It’s been team defence which has made the difference on most days, having surrended just four goals. That will need to continue if the squad is to retain the league title as they march towards the BurnabyNorth Shore playdowns. “We need to just play it simple, not try to do too much,” said Steko. “These boys know exactly what they want, and that’s to win.” The league playoffs start today (Wednesday) for third-to-sixth place teams. Semifinals are slated for Monday.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Rushing game carries STM to second straight win Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Grounding it out hasn’t been the choice de jour when it comes to the St.Thomas More Knights’ football team of late. Yes, they have a history of being able to run with the best of them at times, but in 2016 the squad has opted to air it out most nights, throwing caution and the oval ball into the wind. This past Friday, however, the Knights stuck to the running game and ran away with a 48-0 win over the Kelowna Owls in the

Okanagan city. It all started on the first series, when the Owls’ third play from scrimmage was intercepted by Anthony Prpic, who put the Knights in good field position and eventually the opening – and game-winning – touchdown. Behind a 11-for-141 yards rushing performance from Grade 11 running back Nat Nacario, STM dominated the ground and piled up a huge 35-0 lead by halftime. Four of Nacario’s carries went into the end zone. Picking up 11 carries for 91 yards was Prpic, including three

for majors in a contest where the visitors amassed 350 yards on the ground. “The last couple of weeks we’ve increased the amount of running we’ve been doing and it’s been successful,” noted head coach Bernie Kully. “We’re fortunate that (offensive coordinator) Denis Kelly has a willingness to add plays and change things up, and the players have responded very well to what he’s asked them to do.” Quarterback Kolby Buljevic threw for 89 yards and scampered for another 27 yards, while Jo-

nah Fridfinnson added 58 rushing yards. On the defensive side, the Knights got six tackles and one QB sack from Sam Steele, while Mateo Moreira locked up five tackles and a sack. “The shutout was a nice statistical note but there were things that we need to work on, that we could have done better,” said Kully. It was STM’s second straight win, after starting the regular season 0-3. Spurred by a strong differential – they’ve outscored their competition 130-83 – the Knights have co-opted some momentum

just as playoffs approach. “We have been able to collect ourselves after a bit of adversity to start the season,” said Kully. “The hope and goal is that we can collectively use that momentum and finish off the regular season on a positive note and carry it into the playoffs.” The Knights host 2-3 Mount Boucherie on Friday, 6 p.m. at Burnaby Lakes. In junior football, the STM jr. Knights maintained its perfect record after beating Mission 27-7 last week. They sit undefeated at 5-0.

Getting goals from seven different players proved to be the ticket as the Simon Fraser University men’s hockey team rolled to a 10-1 home-opening win over Eastern Washington last week. Led by Matt Crisanti’s hat trick, SFU overpowered the visiting Eagles with five goals in the first period, including two on the powerplay and Brandon Tidy’s shorthanded effort. Crisanti counted all three goals in the middle period, after Eastern Washington put its first goal on the board. SFU led 9-1 after 40 minutes. “We were waiting for a breakout performance like that,” said coach Mark Coletta. “The boys in the first period really played well, there was a lot of jump, a lot of energy. I thought that was better than the 10 goals.” Tempers flared between the two teams, with 110 penalty minutes doled out and five game misconducts. Jaret Babych, Mak Barden, Mathew Berry-Lamontagna, Jesse Mysiorek and Darnel St. Pierre also tallied, while Jordan Liem turned aside 16 shots. The Clan improved to 3-1 on the year in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League.Their next test comes Oct. 29 when the University of Victoria Vikes – whose lineup includes one-time Montreal Canadien Patrick Holland – pay a visit, 7 p.m. at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.
