‘This is pure racism and it’s horrifying’ Burnaby imam says ‘act of cowardice’ will not scare Muslims Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The imam at the Masjid al-Salaam and Education Centre in Burnaby is encouraging the local Muslim community not to give in to fear after a deadly shooting at a Quebec City mosque.

“This was an isolated incident. It was an act of cowardice.We should still be strong as a community and stand united, and show individuals like this that we’re not going to be scared of them,” saidYahya Momla.

The shooting happened during evening prayers Sunday night. More than 50 people were at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre when shots were fired, killing six people and injuring 19 others, according to media reports.

Police arrested two suspects after the shooting. But, on Monday, authorities said only one of the men was a suspect while the other was a witness.The alleged gunman is 27-year-old Alexandre Bissonnette, who has been charged with six counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder.

Resources for immigrants on chopping block

School board says cuts to programs make it difficult to ensure newcomers can have a successful settlement Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school board says Canada runs the risk of alienating refugees with proposed cuts to federal funding for language and other settlement services

starting April 1.

The board unanimously passed a motion last week for the B.C. School Trustees Association to urge the Ministry of Education and the Canadian School Boards Association to lobby the feds to provide “in-

creased, predictable and stable funding” so school boards can give newcomer families the supports they need.

“Multiple year reductions in budgets and uncertainty in funding timelines in the areas of SWIS (Settle-

ment Workers in Schools) and LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) programs force school districts to cut essential positions and programs that are vital to the successful settlement of students and families in schools and

the community,” states the motion, which will now be tabled at the B.C. School Trustees Association AGM in April.

Even as pressure on the programs has increased, the federal government has proposed 10 per cent cuts to

Newsnow CRASH: The driver of a black Dodge Charger was lucky to be alive after plowing into a city bus on Boundary Road near Kitchener Street early Friday.

District asks for your snow report card

$6.7-million linear park will connect Heights and Brentwood Town Centre Jeremy Deutsch

editorial@burnabynow.com

Later on this year, residents living between the Heights and Brentwood Town Centre will get the opportunity to traverse the two neighbourhoods in a completely different way.That’s because Burnaby’s newest park project has been given the final thumbs up by city council.

Last week, the city approved the $6.7 million needed to complete the Willingdon Linear Park.

Once complete, the linear park will be a 13-block corridor running along the east side of Willingdon Avenue, connecting the Heights to Brentwood Town Centre.

The city’s description of the park said it will include a universally accessible paved multiuse pathway separated from the road, multiple road and laneway crossings over the 13 blocks, site furnishings, lighting, shade trees, rest stops and bus stop zones.

The project, which has been in the works for several years, will also include two larger “pocket parks” and public artwork.

At an open house in the fall, a survey found 79 per cent of respondents supported the park proposal, according to a staff report.

But not everyone has been happy with the overall plans; most notably the cycling community.

In November, members of HUB Burnaby, the local branch of a non-profit organization that promotes cycling in the community, were at council making the argument the project needs to have separated walking and cycling facilities to make it safer and attract people.The group also called for more consultation on the project, noting there was only one design concept at open houses and groups like HUB were not consulted.The group presented council with a petition from people in the cycling community supporting the separated walking and cycling path for the project.

But last Monday, council members countered the assertion the linear park wouldn’t be safe for users.

Mayor Derek Corrigan noted another urban trail known as the 7-Eleven Trail that cuts

through South Burnaby integrates both bikes and pedestrians without any problems.

“While I appreciate the drama, our experience has been quite the contrary in regard to other options we have in the city,” he said, adding if the city had blocked off the streets to Brentwood residents, it wouldn’t have been acceptable to people in the community.

Coun. Nick Volkow said the last time the park came up for discussion, he was inundated by media calls describing the project as bringing “mayhem” to the city because the design wasn’t separating cyclists from pedestrians.

Construction on the project is expected to begin in the spring.

Think the Burnaby school district could have done a better job getting rid of snow and ice at your kids’ school?

Want to give staff a pat on the back for a job well done?

The school district is looking for your feedback.

School board chair Ron Burton expressed his appreciation at a public meeting last Monday to local parents, students and staff for their understanding during recent record-setting snowfalls, freezing temperatures and accumulations of ice.

The unusual weather events had staff and extra hired contractors working long hours to remove snow and ice from many kilometres of school stairs, sidewalks, parking lots and heavily burdened roofs, Burton said in a board chair report.

“Unprecedented situations such as this one always provide learning opportunities,” he said.

School officials plan to review district procedures and talk with city hall about the city’s snow removal priorities to prepare for similar winters in the future.

“Schools are an essential priority during and after a snowfall,” he said.

City now Suspicious incident prompts RCMP warning Eleven-year-old approached by stranger on her way home from Seaforth Elementary School Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is investigating a suspicious incident after an 11-year-old girl was approached by a man shortly after 3 p.m. on Jan. 23 in the area of Piper Avenue.

The man tried to speak to the girl but she ran away and returned to her school to tell her principal and call police, according to an RCMP press release.

Police said they can’t confirm the man’s intentions but wanted to make the public aware of the incident as a precautionary measure.

“Parents should always be vigilant about their child’s safety,” Burnaby RCMP

Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in a press release, “and this is a good opportunity for parents to talk to kids about being safe.”

Police described the man as Asian, five feet five inches with a large build and between 36 and 40 years old.

He had black hair with bangs, was wearing blue jeans and walked with a limp. École Seaforth Elementary alerted staff to the incident and posted an advisory on the school’s website last Thursday.

PrincipalWendell Hiltz urged parents to review safety precautions, including travelling in groups, staying in well-supervised areas, calling 911 in case of

an emergency and telling an adult immediately if they encounter something that makes them feel uncomfortable.

“The Burnaby RCMP is investigating this incident and we will share further information should it become available,” he wrote. “Student and staff safety is always our priority.”

Police, meanwhile, would like to speak to anyone that may have witnessed the incident or knows anything about the alleged suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-8477 (TIPS).

Vancouver police want to talk to an unidentified BCIT nursing student who provided first aid to a Burnaby man stabbed to death last Halloween.

Police arrived at the Plaza of Nations inVancouver in the early hours of Nov. 1 after a series of calls about two groups of men involved in a fight, according to aVPD press release.

Three men suffered serious stab wounds, and one, 25-year-old Hansen Jia

Chen from Burnaby, died of his injuries.

Before officers and paramedics arrived, police say an unknown woman gave Chen first aid near the taxi stand at the front of the plaza.

According to witnesses, she identified herself as a BCIT nursing practicum student. Police want to talk to the woman as a witness, but so far they haven’t been able to identify her.The VPD are appealing for her to contact detectives at 604717-2500.

“She was doing the right thing,”VPD spokesperson

Const. Jason Doucette said at a press conference last week. “She stuck around and did her best.”

The police have no reason to believe the unknown nursing students is trying to avoid coming forward, according to Doucette, who said she might just not know they need her help.

Police are also requesting anyone who may have any cellphone footage showing the area near the Plaza of Nations between 9 p.m. on Oct. 31 and 2 a.m. on Nov. 1 to contact them at 604717-2500.

Local man charged in assault Coquitlam RCMP have located and arrested a Burnaby man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after he allegedly struggled away from an officer trying to arrest him in Coquitlam Dec. 30.

The officer was injured in the incident, according to police, and the suspect got into a car and drove away.

The Canada-wide warrant had been granted for Marek James Anisimovic on Jan. 11, and the 36-yearold was arrested by the Coquitlam RCMP Prolific Target Team in his hometown of Burnaby last Thursday at

about 10 p.m.

He now faces charges of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and flight from police.

The Bra Lady Is coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

BURNABY - MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2017

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

The cost of transparency is worth it Information: it’s a precious and costly commodity nowadays.

Take, for example, the City of Burnaby’s new plan to charge for a fire investigation report, a motor vehicle incident or medical incident report from the fire department.

Under its new plan, the reports would cost between $100 and $200, and the process would no longer be under the Freedom of In-

formation and Protection of Privacy Act in B.C. The city says it changed its process to streamline it and to recover administrative costs.

Freedom of information activists are alarmed at the city’s actions and believe it cannot opt out of the act.

At this point in time, we don’t know who will win that argument.

To be clear, as a media organization, we’re for more

transparency and accountability in all matters of government.

Simply put: this is information in the public realm, and it should stay in the public realm under the umbrella of the FOIPA. If it is removed from that jurisdiction, it does not allow for an independent body to adjudicate complaints or enforce transparency.

Who are you going to ap-

peal to when the city says it doesn’t have the info you’re looking for if it’s not under the FOIPA? City council?

The mayor?

We get that it could be costly for the city.

Lots of lawyers are always looking for the reports to defend their clients.

But ensuring public information is accessible to, well, everybody, is not the place to start looking for savings.

Let’s face it. It’s not just

the City of Burnaby that’s always trying to make it harder, and more costly, to get information. In the news media, we are finding more and more hurdles being added to either slow down or prevent us from getting public information.

We don’t think it’s a coincidence that at a time when newsrooms are losing resources, governments are making it harder or more expensive to get informa-

tion.

Burnaby values its volunteers enough to throw a $40,000 annual dinner for them.

It values the city’s heritage enough to propose a costly heritage marker plan for its 125th anniversary.

How much does it value transparency and freedom of information?

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan charts a new path

It only received scant media attention, but the speech recently given by NDP leader John Horgan on climate change could prove to be a groundbreaking moment for his party and for B.C. politics as a whole.

Speaking last week to a left-wing think tank that included prominent environmentalists on its program, Horgan outlined how he will closely align his party’s election platform to bold initiatives to fight climate change.

In doing so, he acknowledged this issue hasn’t always been front and centre for him, given his own background working in the energy field in government in the 1990s. Back then, he was part of an NDP government that aggressively pursued the expansion of an oil and gas industry, including pipelines and fracking.

But, he now says, things have changed, and so has he. In the 1990s, he said, then-NDP environment minister Joan Sawicki was talking about the growing problem of climate change, but he chose to ignore her.

“I was working for the minister of energy at the time, and I heard her. I understood it. But it wasn’t inside me. And when I left government, I didn’t think a lot about it,” he told the crowd.

But he’s evidently thinking a lot about it now, and he has taken the position that it is the most important issue of all. All NDP policies presumably have to be based on this commitment.

He admitted his party has

had trouble with issues such as the carbon tax and other measures created to fight climate change but insisted a new and changed approach is needed.

He offered what he called “a simple pledge” to the appreciative green crowd.

“I promise a climate plan that will ensure emissions go down – that we will reverse the trajectory of pollution growth that the B.C. Liberals have put us on,” Horgan said, adding that a “fair price on pollution” is needed and that a series of other policies must be adopted in short time.

Presumably, this ends any chance the NDP could ever officially embrace any LNG project, given the increase in greenhouse gas emissions that come with them. It may also weaken its support for the mining industry.

On the other hand, Horgan is pledging to focus on things like transit, tougher regulations, solar panels, energy-friendly buildings and more. All in all, his speech made it crystal clear the NDP is trying to make a clean break from a past where it was closely aligned with the natural resource sector and its unions.

The new approach may cost the party some old allies, but it may also gain it support from would-be Green Party voters.Whatever the result at the ballot box on May 9, it’s clear Horgan is taking his party on a path not even dreamed of when it last formed government.

Jewelry thieves hit mall

Two Brentwood Mall jewelry stores were hit by thieves on the same day in January in heists believed to be related.While the clerk at the first store was busy with a customer, a man and woman made off with two trays of 18 carat gold bracelets worth an estimated $21,000. About five minutes later, a man entered the second store and asked to see the establishment’s “best engagement ring.”

He then grabbed the ring and ran, escaping in an awaiting vehicle.

Opposing pipeline is not a waste of money Dear Editor I would like to respond to the Jan. 20 letter from Kinder Morgan cheerleader, Sally Gillies. I don’t recall Mayor Corrigan saying that “he plans to waste more of Burnaby taxpayers’ money” (trying to stop the pipeline). On the contrary, I believe that he represents the wishes and values of most of the Burnaby community, and I salute him for that.

How would Sally know that Kinder Morgan “are using the most modern science and engineering on the planet”? The NEB did not allow expert interveners to cross-examine them. If our federal government “finally recognized this extraordinary feat,” they must have ignored reported findings by their appointed three-person ministerial panel as well as findings in the report to government from Terry Beech, Liberal MP for the riding of Burnaby North-Seymour. Alternative routes and alternative transportation methods were specifically excluded from the scope of the NEB review process. Why is that?

Sally stated that “while the environmentalists fought to have the risks reduced, Canada introduced a nation-wide carbon tax.” I question how introducing a carbon tax reduces the risk to the health and safety of the SFU community above and the residents and schools below the

proposed massive tank farm on the Burnaby Mountain slope. Readers who have been following this issue in detail are probably aware of the risk of diluted bitumen spills, the potential for a major fire at the tank farm, and the toxicity of released fumes.

I will agree with Sally on one point – the environmentalists “never wanted the pipeline twinned, at all,” but they are not “redrawing the line again.” Their reasons for opposition have been the same since the expansion was proposed – the properties of diluted bitumen (hazardous fumes, sinks in water, corrosive), Kinder Morgan’s transfer of liability at the Westridge terminal to the tanker companies, the size and expanded frequency of the tanker ships, collision risks to three bridges in the harbour, risk to sea life, global warming, violation of First Nations rights, overstated economic benefits, etc. and the transported product is not even for domestic use. Although we will continue to need oil for the foreseeable future, efforts in Alberta should be directed toward clean energy projects rather than expanding the oil industry.

Citynow Police have increased presence around mosques

“It’s very disturbing. It seems that we have always known that bigots and racists exist in our society, but for the most part, they’ve always been on the sidelines,” he told the NOW. The new Donald Trump administration seems to be “empowering and emboldening these individuals,” said Momla.

He noted while local Muslims are more vigilant than normal after what many are calling an act of terrorism, they are not scared.

“The community understands this is an isolated incident and we understand this is not the sentiment of Canadian people. ... My

message would be not to be afraid and to come out in large numbers to your places of worship and move on with your lives.That would be the most powerful message we could send.”

Momla said his organization will be contacting the

Quebec City mosque this week to offer its support.

Meanwhile, half a dozen people gathered outside the Masjid al-Salaam and Education Centre Sunday evening in solidarity.

Among the group was New

Westminster resident Trudi Goels, who wanted to do something.

Even though the event was small, she said it was more than she ever expected.

“A lot of people were reading the sign that we had that said ‘Stronger Together.’They were honking their horns, waving at us, giving us a thumbs up. A gentleman stopped his car, got out, came over and thanked us. He was Ismaili Muslim.

He was on his way to work.

He’s lived in Canada for 30 years and he said this meant something to him,” Goels explained, adding Momla also came to offer thanks.

“It was good to see how many people cared,” she said.

Byrne Creek Community School, added she’s a little nervous right now given Trump’s new immigration ban.The executive order bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. for the

next 90 days and suspends admission of all refugees for 120 days.

Goels told the NOW her kids are scheduled to go on a band trip to San Francisco in April, and because of what has unfolded in the

last week, she emailed the school to ask if the destination could be changed to a domestic one.

“With such a diverse population of the school, I feel like we shouldn’t go to a country where all of our students aren’t welcomed,” she said. “This is pure racism and it’s horrifying.

We all need to take action, whatever it looks like.”

Burnaby RCMP, meanwhile, will increase its presence at the city’s five mosques.

“We have continued an increased presence in and around various mosque locations in Burnaby, and we also ask for continued vigilance, and ask that if anyone sees anything suspicious to contact the police,” said Cpl. Daniela Panesar.

Reduced funding will hurt programs for newcomers

Continued from page 1 Syrian refugee operation began in November 2015, the district said refugees have gone from representing roughly one-quarter to about one-half of all newcomers in the Burnaby school district’s SWIS program.

Since refugees come with more needs, according to coordinator Natalya Kahn, more resources are needed, not less.

“These are all people with multiple needs,” she

told the NOW. “They have children, medical needs.

Most of them have posttraumatic disorders.They require much more support.

Not having enough money to support them is not very consistent. I don’t see how it can be done.”

A three-year contract negotiated with the Conservative government in 2014 didn’t take into consideration the influx of refugees since 2015, Kahn said, so the incoming Liberals have supported the operation

with top-up funding that Kahn said was “workable” but unpredictable.

“You’d never know if the money was coming or not,” she said.

And now, even the main budget for the program has been cut in a proposed new three-year plan sent out by the government at the end of December.

“We don’t know if they’re going to support the Syrian refugee folks with additional funding or not,” Kahn said.

“I was told verbally that we

will receive more money, but when and how much, they were not able to confirm.”

Burnaby’s LINC program faces similar reductions, according to the district, even though many newcomers are already waiting to get into classes, especially because of a shortage of child-minding seats.

“That has implications for their family in terms of finding employment,” said assistant superintendent

Heather Hart. “Language is key to everything.”

Even if the government does provide extra funding after the cuts, she said, getting it piecemeal prevents the district from making the most of it for refugee families.

“That makes it very difficult to do any forward thinking for this programming and to support people properly,” Hart said.

“You can’t plan ahead, and we can’t start staffing in the middle of the year.”

Reduced resources for programs like SWIS and LINC will ultimately impact newcomers’ integration into Canadian society, according to Kahn.

“Multiculturalism – are they going to be part of it?” she said. “It will take longer, and where they can wander on the way we don’t know.

We want them to be part of our society, the fabric, but there should be a certain commitment to that.”

Major University hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with a leading hearing researcher at Ryerson University, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology.

The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why Research Hearing Loss?

Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the process of aging itself. Just like a

hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss,1 but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with

The installation spans the time period from the 1900s to 2100 and, in 60 minutes, invites audiences to experience an immersive trilogy of short stories.

Cultures converge at Neighbourhood House Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Neighbourhood House was filled with the smells, sounds and sights of Colombia last week.

Some 80 people gathered at the South House, at 4460 Beresford St., for the organization’s monthly Sharing Cultures Dinner.The theme was Colombia night.

Before everyone arrived at 6 p.m., volunteers were busy in the kitchen preparing the feast, which included white rice, aji (spicy salsa), a kidney beans and plantain dish, a side of ground beef and a piece of arepa, a dough-like bread.

Between plating dishes, head cook Maria Sanchez told the NOW she’s enjoyed being in the kitchen all her life.

“I like to do it and show my culture,” she said.

Friend and assistant Guadalupe Wilkie agreed. She said given that there’s not a lot of places in the Lower Mainland that offer Colombian cuisine, she jumped at the opportunity to volun-

teer.

“It’s a good taste.We blend a lot of seasoning that identifies us as Colombian,” she said with a smile.

People trickled in one by one, including Lavonne Matte, who is a regular at the dinners.

“You learn so much about the neighbourhood, like what’s going on, which you wouldn’t know if you didn’t come here,” she said.

It’s really about providing opportunities for a cultural exchange

“I like to learn all (about) the different countries. It’s a learning process, so I enjoy that.”

For Kevin Du, the monthly gathering is a place where he and his children can make connections. As a newcomer from China, with no family or friends

in Burnaby, the two-hour event is a great environment to meet people.

And that’s the whole point, according to program director Kimberly Barwich.

“It’s really about providing opportunities for a cultural exchange,” she told the NOW. “It’s an opportunity for community building.We have an incredibly diverse community, and if we’re not providing (those) opportunities, then it doesn’t do us any good in terms of creating any unity.”

The evening also featured singing and dancing and a short speech by Colombian native Tatiana Celis.

The former Bogotá resident showed her country’s diversity and beauty through a picture slideshow.

Though she doesn’t visit as much as she’d like to (she came to Canada in 2003), it will always be her home, she said.

“It’s so very many things.

For me, Colombia is willingness, commitment, resilience.”

Asked what she missed most, Celis said it was the

Flavours of home: Maria Sanchez, right, cooked a delicious Colombian feast for the Sharing Cultures Dinner at the South Burnaby Neighbourhood House on Jan. 25. At left is her assistant and friend Guadalupe Wilkie.

“flavours of the land.”

“The flavour of the potatoes, the flavours of the corn.You can have all these special dishes made here (in Canada), but they do not have that earthy connection.”

February’s Sharing Cul-

tures Dinner at South House will be an Ethiopian theme, in conjunction with Black History Month.

There’s also a dinner at the North House (4908 Hastings St.) every second month. Meal tickets cost $5 for adults and $3 for chil-

dren aged 4 to 18; kids under three get in for free.

Tickets must be purchased in advance at the neighbourhood house.

A Burnaby mom wants the public to know how important it is to donate to Variety – the Children’s Charity after being on the receiving end of multiple grants over the years.

Wafa, who did not want to include her last name for privacy reasons, is a single mother of three children.

Two of them have special needs.

Eleven-year-old Mariam has Down syndrome and has the abilities of a fouryear-old, according to an assessment done last year. She has some hearing loss and cataracts, and she could potentially go blind one day.

Mohammed, 2, has a brain malformation and global development delay. Mohammed is missing his cerebellum, the part of the brain that’s responsible for some cognitive functions, balance and posture.

His muscle tone is very low, which causes him to wobble.

“It’s very difficult,”Wafa said of trying to raise her young family while working full-time.

The family is originally from Palestine, a country Wafa said didn’t have the proper therapies for children with special needs.

Wafa and her husband (the pair split last year) came to Burnaby seven years ago as skilled workers.With no friends and no family, life was hard, she said.

As a newcomer, she told the NOW no one informed her of the resources available to kids with Down syndrome.

It wasn’t until the family applied for a Variety grant one year later that things started to change for the better. She received enough money to cover occupational therapy sessions for her daughter.

Thanks to the funding, Wafa has seen a boost in self-esteem in Mariam, who she said is “smart, lovely and a bit of a trouble maker.”

“She’s able to pronounce words clearly, to understand concepts that are essential, like clean versus not clean, and good versus bad.

She can sing, too,” she said.

“She knows how to write her name, phone number, our address. She knows how to count up until 20.”

Bulldogs enter playoffs as No. 1 Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Playoffs means a pay-off for many teams.

The Byrne Creek Bulldogs are eager to turn the page and put their momentum to use in the Burnaby-New West playoffs.

The senior boys basketball squad wrapped up the regular season with Monday’s 95-59 victory over the Burnaby North Vikings to cap a 7-0 record.

“We were in it to win because we wanted to finish (undefeated),” remarked Byrne Creek coach Jas Dhillon. “Our game plan going in was to get it done, but now we’re on to the next thing, and we can’t look past anyone.”

The Bulldogs held a comfortable lead most of the night, up 56-23 at halftime. Grade 10 guard Bithow Wan dropped nine treys and finished with 29 points, while Abdul Bangura counted 22 points.

Currently ranked 10th in B.C.’s Triple-A circuit, Byrne Creek intends to spend the coming days preparing and improving prior to the start of the playoffs (Feb. 6).

“I think everyone is a little banged up, we’ve got a bruised thumb, but its part and parcel with a season that’s 30-plus games,” said Dhillon. “Did we look good at times during this run? Absolutely. Do we need to play better to keep it going? Definitely.”

The league playoffs kick off Monday with the quarter-finals, featuring No. 4 Burnaby North playing No. 5 Burnaby Mountain at 5:15 p.m., followed by No. 3

New West facing No. 6 Moscrop at 6:45 p.m., both at New West.

A day later, No. 2 Burnaby South plays the New West/Moscrop winner at 5:15 p.m., and Byrne Creek squares off against the winner of North/Mountain at 6:45 p.m., at Byrne Creek.

The finals are slated for Thursday, 5:15 p.m. at Byrne Creek.

In senior girls action, the New Westminster Hyacks clinched the regular season title by besting the Burnaby Mountain Lions 65-23 on Monday.

Grade 11 guard Sarah Forgie counted 20 points in the first half, as New West built up a 46-14 lead.The game also settled who would host the playoff final.

Contributing 11 points in the win was Jamie Butts, while Natalie Nastase and Milanna Obrovac tallied 10 points each.

Burnaby Mountain, which finished second at 6-1, got 11 points from Grade 9 guard Sophia Vivero and seven points from senior Martina Pettenon.

In other action, the Cariboo Hill Chargers topped Alpha 6226, and the Burnaby Central Wildcats edged the Moscrop Panthers 53-47, locking up third place heading into the playoffs.

While Cariboo Hill, Moscrop and Burnaby South all ended up with equal 3-4 records, the Chargers took fourth spot based on a thrilling 72-63 overtime decision last week over the Panthers.

Next week’s playoffs start Feb. 6 when No. 5-seed Moscrop plays No. 4 Cariboo Hill at 5:15 p.m., and sixth-place Burnaby South faces Burnaby Central at 6:45 p.m., both at Burnaby Central.

Cliff Avenue celebrates 60 years of youth soccer Still kicking: small local club’s modest beginnings blossom into Burnaby’s biggest soccer success story

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

From its modest, early beginnings, the Cliff Avenue United Football Club was all about fun.

Providing a place where youth could join together and play the ‘beautiful game,’ in the growing city of Burnaby.

This past weekend more than 250 people gathered to celebrate the club, its spirit and those who help make it run.

A gala event at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown brought together former players, former and present coaches, club founder Merrill Gordon and a number of municipal dignitaries to regal in the success of Burnaby’s largest soccer organization.

“It was something we thought about and planned for a while,” CAUFC president Guido Titotto

said of the evening. “We thought, ‘This is something we should celebrate.’”

And celebrate they did.

Gordon, who founded the club in 1956 as an activity for attendees of the Cliff Avenue United Church’s Sunday school program, attended Saturday’s feast and was honoured.

“I had no idea it would be around 60 years later,” said Gordon, soon to be 88 years old. “Just today (Monday) I was visiting my eye doctor and someone in the office came up to me and asked me ‘Are you Merrill Gordon?’ I said ‘Yes,’ and he told me he was in my first Sunday school class.”

The Sunday school had enough boys to make a team – girls at the time were not encouraged to play soccer.

“I always said that I was not the best Sunday school teacher but I

thought I could teach them a little something about soccer,” said Gordon.

Titotto recalled how the club’s

bright orange colour came to be.

“At the time, (Gordon) knew a man who made life jackets, and he had the material to make uniforms

– it was light, durable for the weather, and bright orange.We’ve been orange ever since.”

Also in attendance was longtime Cliff Avenue technical director and one-time national team coach Tony Waiters, who was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award as well as a surprise 80th birthday cake.

“Tony is an icon and been involved with so many areas of soccer in Canada,” said Titotto.

Joining in the celebration were Cliff Ave. and Whitecaps alum Buzz Parsons, Bobby Lenarduzzi, Carl Valentine and Les Wilson.

The club also honoured the late Mark Stockdale, who served 17 years as club president, presenting his sons with a plaque. Receiving the honour were his sons John and Luke Stockdale.

Quartet to scrum

B.C. Rugby’s Select women’s team will face the Canada West Maple Leafs in the curtain-raiser match for the Feb. 4 Americas Rugby championship Canada vs.

Argentina game in Langford.

Coach Aaron Frisby has put together a roster from all different experience levels, ranging from Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Kelly Russell to Canada West All Star Jess Neilson.

The 22-player roster also features a handful of Burnabybased players, including Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Carolyn McEwen as captain.

The lineup also includes BLRC’s Jess Harvey and Emily Van Gulik, and Simon Fraser University’s Demi Stamatakis.

Harvey and Stamatakis played last year with B.C.’s under-23 sevens team that won the Vegas Invitational title. Among the players, 10 have played for Canada previously, including McEwen and Stamatakis.

This will also be an important game for Canada’s coaching staff as it will contribute to player development and player selection for the Road to Women’s Rugby World Cup. “This game is an opportunity for our national team players based in B.C. to play a fastpaced rugby game and for the coaching staff to get a quality game to analyze,” said Canadian national women’s XVs head coach Francois Ratier.

Celebrating Cliff Ave

Continued from page 16 years as club president, presenting his sons with a plaque. Receiving the honour were his sons John and Luke Stockdale.

“We wanted to honour his many years of volunteer service,” said Titotto. “He was always out there, involved and a very visible presence with the club when I was growing up.”

Titotto, himself a former Vancouver 86er and one-time national team member, said the club has withstood numerous challenges and changes over the years, with the program now providing 2,200 kids on 150 teams a place to play and thrive.

“It’s all about the kids, as it has always been,”Titotto added.
