Environment week kicks off in Burnaby City hall opens its doors and invites the public to find out what’s new and green in the city

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Environment Week kicks off in Burnaby on Saturday – and there’s a celebration at city hall that day you won’t want to miss.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., city hall will be the site of the Environment Festival, a free public event with displays, live music, fun prize draws and activities

for kids.

The gathering is an opportunity to hear from the city’s departments and stewardship groups on all they’re doing to keep the city green.

“We’ll have our new environmental strategy, we’ll have a presentation about that. Burnaby recycling, Burnaby engineering will be there with their recycling programs,” said

Mark Sloat, an environmental planner with the city.

New this year is an info booth about electric vehicles, courtesy of Emotive. There will be a few electric cars on display for passersby to check out.

ElectroRecycle will also be on hand, taking any small appliances and power tools off peoples’ hands.

“Anything that plugs in

or runs on batteries. It has to be for residential use, it’s not for commercial use,” said Sloat.

Also taking place at 4949 Canada Way that day is the weekly farmers’ market, where folks can peruse locally grown produce, foods and crafts.

The market also includes a used book exchange, food trucks, a children’s play area, a games table and a

sitting area.

The City of Burnaby will be handing out environmental passports to attendees. Stamps will be given at each info booth.

Completed passports will be entered into a draw every half hour for a chance to win 30 farmers’ market dollars.

City staff want everyone to be mindful of getting to city hall, so they sug-

gest using public transit, cycling or walking. There are regular buses from the Metrotown and Brentwood town centres, and Holdom and Sperling SkyTrain stations on the Millennium line.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS

No vigilantism please: police Continued from page 1 A third suspect is also being investigated for his part in the incidents.

“Police want to remind the public that vigilantism, no matter how well-meaning, poses significant risks to the safety of all those involved,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann stated in a press release.

“Using our highly trained investigators in a controlled environment is the best way to get dangerous offenders off our streets and ensure they are held accountable.”

Schumann said police strongly advise individuals

not to place themselves in potentially dangerous positions and to contact either their local police or go to www.cybertip.ca to report incidents of online sexual exploitation of children.

The investigations into the allegations of child luring in these two cases are ongoing, according to police.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca.

City now Young family gets a rude welcome to Burnaby

Not-so-warm welcome: Mark, Ali and Silas Dolmont had their house broken into two weeks after moving to Burnaby from Vancouver.

A GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign has been set up to help the young family.

Mark Dolmont, his wife, Ali and their one-year-old son, Silas got a rude welcome to Burnaby last week.

Two weeks after moving here from Vancouver, a burglar broke into their house in the neighbourhood north of Lougheed Town Centre and stole thousands of dollars’ worth of cash, computers, sound gear and family jewelry.

“They wanted a place with a nice backyard, which they found,” Arun Fryer, a friend, said of the family’s move to Burnaby. “They were so thrilled and happy to be moving into this house and it just seemed perfect for them, and then they were out on Friday for a couple of hours and somebody kicked in their back door.”

The extent of the losses isn’t yet fully known because many of the family’s belongings are still in boxes.

And, to make mat-

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

ters worse, their insurance hadn’t yet been updated to the new address because of the recent move.

To soften the blow, Fryer, a Vancouver filmmaker who has worked on films with Mark, a sound specialist, launched a GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign (The Dolmont Robbery Fund) Wednesday.

The response has been swift and positive, with more than $3,400 already

raised by Tuesday morning.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple, according to Fryer.

“Mark’s just a super nice guy, and his wife, they’re just some of the nicest, sweetest people,” he said.

“It’s a nice community story that actually is turning out to have a happier ending. It seems like we need more of this, especially in times like this.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

We are simply gluttons for fresh water The jokes were flowing, pardon the pun, last week when the City of Burnaby kicked off its Stage 1 water restrictions. No wonder.We’ve experienced one of the wettest Aprils on record, and it’s hard to fathom (excuse another pun) that we would ever run out of water here in the Lower Mainland.

But that, as we have learned, can all change in

a matter of several dry, hot weeks.

The Lower Mainland’s population has grown and so has our thirst for water.

And because we have seldom experienced a true water shortage, we are also unused to considering that we must ration our water supply.

We are gluttons for water.We wash our cars, our driveways, our vinyl sid-

ing and our fences. Everyone seems to have a power washer out on weekends, scouring moss or dirt out of crevices, or blasting patios and decks down.We love our showers and baths, and then there are the backyard pools and hot tubs.

We think nothing of leaving a sprinkler on to soak our unnaturally green lawns and we are horrified if a city park for kids does not

have a spray park replete with numerous nozzles that shoot water everywhere.

We seem blissfully unaware that our seemingly infinite renewable water resource could ever dry up.

And yet the planet is getting hotter and we are witnessing more extreme weather systems each year.

Thankfully, water metering does have an impact on our unquenchable desire

for water.While we may all mouth the politically appropriate slogans about saving the planet, many of us are much more moved by a hit to our wallets than a bumper sticker.

This week the City of Burnaby kicks off its Environment Festival.There’s a lot more to saving the planet than just turning off the water sprinkler, and we encourage residents to drop

in on city hall and find out what our local government is doing to keep the city green in more ways than one. From electric cars to enthusiastic recycling programs – it all helps.

And, remember Stage 1 water restrictions are now in effect – check your house number and make sure you’re following the rules.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

How Green will B.C. become?

It’s going to be fascinating and, at times, amusing, to watch how this province’s two major political parties deal with the upstart new kid on the block: the B.C. Green Party.

As of this column’s writing, the final election count had yet to be concluded so it was unclear whether the Greens would be in a coalition with one of the other two parties (I would say the NDP has a better shot at this scenario) or simply be the third party whose support would still be coveted by a tiny B.C. Liberal minority.

His first such deal breaker is potentially the most alarming one.

Whatever the outcome, it is clear the Greens will enjoy a level of influence on the next government – no matter which party is leading it – that is grossly disproportionate to the level of support it received from B.C. voters.

The Greens took three seats with less than 18 per cent of the vote, but party leader Andrew Weaver, in his various dealings with the media, has been talking as if his party was the vote leader on election night.

He keeps releasing an ever-increasing list of demands that must be met to gain the Greens’ support in

the legislature, and thus allow a party with a minority status or even a bare majority one (44 or 45 seats) form the government.

He calls them “deal breakers,” and their status as priority items seems to change daily.

His first such deal breaker is potentially the most alarming one.

Weaver wants the next government to unilaterally impose an entirely new system of voting for government, one based on some kind of representation model (of which there are many). No referendum first; just do it, he says.

He wants to ban all corporate and union donations to political parties.This one has gotten away from the Greens a little bit after Globe and Mail columnist Gary Mason revealed this past weekend the party was trying to woo $30,000 from a developer.

During the election campaign,Weaver told me his third priority item was a massive increase to the education system, yet that doesn’t seem to have come up again since.

He is demanding the Greens be awarded “official party status” in the legislature. I assume this one at least will have both NDP and B.C. Liberal support.

And where shutting down the Site C dam sits on the Green priority list is now unclear.Weaver told me it’s on the list, but he’s now not exactly sure in what spot.

The Greens obviously Continued on page 7

Mayor delayed by crash Coun. Derek Corrigan was half an hour late for a council meeting in January because of a big dump of snow – but it wasn’t the snow that delayed him. Just moments before he left home for city hall, a City of Burnaby salt truck slid down the councillor’s steep south Burnaby street and tipped into a neighbour’s yard. Corrigan stayed at the scene on Keith Street until city crews righted the dump truck and began clearing the salt.The driver of the truck was unharmed.

BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT WITH CUSTOM MADE BLINDS & DRAPES

INBOX

Union money isn’t the same as corporate money Dear Editor: Much has been made of “big money in politics,”condemning corporate donations to political parties and union donations in the same breath, as though they were in any way comparable.

Much ado about nothing.

Let’s look at some numbers. Take an “average” union worker, earning an “average” income of $50,000. Of that, typically one per cent goes to union dues. The union has to pay staff wages and other operating expenses, and the operating fund has to feed the strike fund. Maybe – and that’s a big maybe – the union can put 10 per cent of its income towards a political donation.

Bear in mind as well that this would require the democratic assent of at least a majority of the union members, but for practical reasons a super-majority, and realistically, a super-supermajority.

In order for this union to donate $100,000 towards a political party, it would have to have 2,000 members. Contrast this with a CEO with an income of $1,000,000 who donates 10 per cent of his income to a political party.

Now, there’s nothing inherently wrong about people supporting political parties. The whole point of political parties is to implement the will of the people. But the real question is, which is more representative of society, one extremely

wealthy person or 2,000 workers?

Much ado about nothing.

Victor Finberg, Burnaby

What kind of influence will Greens really have?

Continued from page 6

share more policy positions with the NDP than the B.C. Liberals (opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline and Site C, for example), but some of their policies will give New Democrats major headaches as well (expanding, and not eliminating, bridge tolls as well as a fairly rapid increase to the carbon tax).

Of course, some of the Greens’ bluster can be chalked up to negotiations between the parties (well, between the Greens and the other two, who likely aren’t speaking to each other) ramping up this week.

It’s going to be a wild ride. But just how Green that ride becomes once the reality of governing takes over for either of the major parties remains very uncertain.

Though Mother Nature has provided plenty of rain over the past few weeks, the City of Burnaby is reminding residents that Stage 1 water restrictions are in effect now until Oct. 15.

Stage 1 means for residential lawn watering, evennumbered addresses can water Monday,Wednesday and Saturday from 4 to 9 a.m., while odd-numbered addresses can water Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday (same time frame).

For non-residential lawn watering (mixed-used addresses), watering rules are as follows: even-numbered addresses, Monday and Wednesday, from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.; odd-numbered addresses,Tuesday and Thursday, 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.; and both even and odd addresses, Friday, from 4 to 9 a.m.

Restrictions don’t apply to: flowers and vegetable

run-off from entering the city’s storm sewer system.

Watering restrictions are enforced in order to conserve drinking water during the driest part of the year, according to a Metro Vancouver press release.

“Water demand always goes up in the summer, which is also when we get the least rain,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee, in the release. “Reducing lawn watering has consistently proven to be an effective way to conserve water and lessen the strain on the region’s water transmission system.”

Watering outside the allowed Stage 1 days and times comes with a $150 fine.

Art exhibition explores the spiritual life Burnaby artist’s tapestry is part of a textile exhibition opening this week at Christ Church Cathedral Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Centuries-old art forms find contemporary interpretations in an exhibition opening next week at Christ Church Cathedral. (in)finite: spiritual conversations in cloth, an exhibition hosted by the Anglican Foundation of Canada, is on at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver from May 25 to June 4.The free exhibition, which marks the 60th anniversary of the Anglican Foundation, features 30 textile artists from across

the country, all exploring the realm of the sacred.

Among them is Robb Schinnour, a Burnaby textile artist whose tapestry Tobias and the Archangel Raphael is part of the exhibition.

Schinnour’s subject matter was inspired by a mid14th-century painting by Paolo Veneziano illustrating the story from the apocryphal Old Testament Book of Tobit, in which the reluctant Tobias is helped by the Archangel Raphael to set out on a journey and find a cure for his father’s blind-

ness.The gesture of the angelic figure reaching for the boy’s hand sparked Schinnour’s artistic curiosity and inspired him to try his hand at creating their figures in a tapestry – his first ever tapestry to feature a human figure.

Schinnour is no newcomer to the world of textile art – in various forms, it has been the focus of his artistic life for the past 40 years, and he’s spent most of the past decade exploring tapestry weaving.

He notes that there are many techniques for creat-

ing a woven tapestry, but he chose to use the knotting approach.The work can be tedious, to the tune of some 400 hand-tied double-halfhitch knots per square inch, but it’s a technique that gives Schinnour the kind of freedom he values as an artist.

“Once you master the techniques, it’s all in how you can mix the colours,” he says. “I can mix colour in a way that wasn’t possible before.”

His goal, he says, was both to define areas to give depth to the work and also

to lend light to certain areas – such as the figure of the archangel, for which he strove for transparency to indicate that it is a spiritual and not merely a physical being.

The Tobias story intrigues Schinnour on a larger theological plane as well.The existence and hierarchy of the angels is one of the aspects of Christianity that interests the artist, who identifies with the new Christian Community – an independent worldwide movement devoted to the renewal of Christianity in non-dogmat-

ic form, one that is not necessarily either Catholic or Protestant.

“That would be the closest to my Christian belief,” he says, noting that he considers himself a Christian but is not a real churchgoer.

He’s intrigued now to see how other artists have taken up the challenge of responding to the exhibition’s theme, which is described as exploring “the finite limitations of humanity and the ineffable, infinite nature of the Divine.”

He’s hoping that his work, along with the other pieces in the show, will move people to think and to ponder the issues of faith and spirituality that the exhibition

raises.

Other local artists – including Elma Harder of Burnaby and Judy Villett, Trish Graham and Terry Aske of New Westminster – are also part of the show.

Anyone interested in viewing the exhibition is welcome to an opening reception on Saturday, May 27 from 5 to 7 p.m.The ex-

Kids and parents will dance, laugh and sing aloud ouud from start to finish at these live performances::

This Vancouver-based folk group features four creative and talented musicians who share a love of Celtic music. Their repertoire is rooted in the musical traditions of Scotland and Ireland as well as the folk music of English and French Canada.

From lively jigs and reels, to songs with rousing choruses and heart-wrenching airs and ballads, they bring the music to life with their luscious harmonies and complex instrumentation.

The purpose and journey of Kokoma is to renew and sustain rhythms, songs and dances of Africa and Afro Cuba, share it through performances and educational presentations, promoting cultural awareness, greater understanding and appreciation for the African heritage and culture to a wide range of audiences around the world.

The carnival is coming to town.

Gilmore Community School is hosting its Country Carnival on Friday, May 26.The event happens every two years and is a fundraiser for the school. In the past, the money has purchased things like iPads for teachers, new books for the library, a new playground, outdoor play equipment and field trips. In 2015, the carnival raised about $36,000 and attracted more than 1,200 people, according to carnival co-chair Donna Sachinidis.

“We have people with infants and we have seniors that come and just walk around, have a glass of lemonade and take in the sights,” she says, adding the school hopes to raise $40,000 this year.

There are also four top

Only businesses and/or organizations that have a location in Burnaby and a valid Burnaby business licence are eligible. Self-nominations are accepted, and nominees don’t have to be board of trade members.

Organizations and businesses are not allowed to win the same award more than once in three years, but runnersup are eligible to be renominated.

Finalists will be an-

For more information, go to www.tinyurl.com/BBOT nominations2017. Nominations are open until June 30.

work.The week-long event is organized by HUB Cycling, an organization that advocates for cycling, and includes tons of perks, such as free bike repairs, swag and prizes.You could even win a new bike!

Oh, and if your business is part of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s Pledge for a Sustainable Community, an initiative meant to get businesses thinking about their environmental impact, you should seriously consider signing up for Bike toWork Week. It’s an easy way to go green and might even get staff cycling beyond the seven days.

“StarWars Day is more than a play on the calendar – May the fourth be with you – but something near and dear to my teenage years, where I was introduced to amazing special effects and a storyline that was truly galactic,” he wrote in a memo to staff.

Arden’s intention was to create a holiday that would encourage staff to contemplate “the nature of the universe” and their “inner peace.”

After you’ve signed up your office and the week officially starts, you compete against other companies to see who can log the most trips. Go to bikehub.ca/bikeevents/bike-to-work-week.

LMI Technologies implemented its own international holiday in recognition of StarWars Day – May the Fourth – a play on the greeting “May the force be with you.”

WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT? There’s no need to book an expensive plane ticket to Europe to see the sights – just head to Swangard Stadium on May 27 and 28 for the European Festival.

The two-day event, now in its 20th year, features a host of cultural and culinary delights and rich entertainment. Every year, the EuroFest B.C. Society organizes the festival to highlight the best of European innovation, culture and tradition. Around 30 countries participate.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT? Firstly, expect your taste buds to explode. There will be everything from German pork hock and Balkan cevapi to Hungarian goulash and Turkish kofte. As you walk around, feel free to admire the ethnic dresses on display (you’re invited to dress up, too), and to get swept away by traditional dancing.

Make sure to also check

out the Arts Plaza, where you can find a blacksmith, weaver, wood carver and spinner all under one roof, demonstrating their craft.

A few festivities to take note of: There’s a EuroParty (May 27) at the main stage, with a DJ spinning European dance tracks. That event starts at 8:30 p.m. On May 28, at 2:45 p.m., there will be a performance by the Slovenian Folklore Troupe of Vancouver.

WHAT TIME DO THINGS GET GOING? The European Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Early bird weekend passes cost $8.60 or $10 at the gate. Kids 12 and under get in free. To buy, visit ticket. europeanfestival.ca/events.

Swangard Stadium is in the northwest corner of Central Park, at 3883 Imperial St.

Cultural colours: The Slovak Republic table was one of many cultural displays during the 2015 European Festival at Swangard Stadium. This year’s festival is set for May 27 and 28. PHOTO NOW FILES

May is Hearing Awareness Month MARKE HAMBLEY BC-HIS, RHAP

President and Director of Operations NexGen Hearing

London-based Oticon has recently launched the Opn (pronounced “open”).

The product is a paradigm shift for most Audiologists and hearing aids users. The manufacturer claims that it combines breakthrough technologies proven to enable people with hearing loss to hear better and remember more with less listening effort. Powered by the ultra-fast and precise Velox™ platform, the newest BrainHearing solution from Oticon employs an ”open sound” approach, handling multiple speech and noise sources, even in complex listening situations. Today, many gadgets connect to the Internet, however this seems to be a product that can really improve lifestyle for many people with a hearing loss. Now before you dismiss it, imagine a hearing aid that connects to your TV. It also informs wearers that someone is at the front door or the smoke detector is beeping.

As well as communicating with household technology, these nearly invisible hearing devices perform sound analysis 100

times per second to locate sound in any direction. Current hearing aid technology copes with complex sounds by closing down all speech coming from multiple directions and amplifies sounds coming from in front. This tunnel directionality limits the users listening experience. The brain doesn’t get the information it needs to focus naturally, or switch attention.

This causes users to tire quickly. Social gatherings become less enjoyable, potentially leading to social withdrawal.

Through BrainHearing, Opn supports the brain’s ability to make sense of sound and can significantly reduce the cognitive load on the user. Tests have consistently shown that Opn increases speech understanding by 30%* with 20% less listening effort* required, which allows users to also remember 20% more** of what was said.

Hearing professionals suggest a hearing test to determine the product right for your level of hearing loss. Those interested can register for a free hearing evaluation and trial of the Opn hearing device by calling NexGen Hearing 1.877.606.6671 *Compared to Alta2 Pro **Individual benefit may vary depending upon instrument prescription.

Gala dinner celebrates a young Burnaby hero B.C. Centre for Ability recognizes five inspiring people Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Without the support from the B.C. Centre for Ability, Marlene Jan is confident she would have racked up the equivalent of four mortgages by now.

Jan’s daughter,Vivien, was born with a rare heart disease. Her initial diagnosis also included a kidney malformation and something known as butterfly verte-

They put her on the path to have the life skills she needs

brae, a backbone anomaly. She was in the hospital for 16 days before she was brought home on Christmas Day, 2012.

“It was clear she had some feeding problems,” Jan says of her now fouryear-old. “She had a feeding tube ... and she continued not to do well. Basically, her diagnosis was failure to thrive. She wasn’t growing;

she was malnourishing herself.”

The Burnaby family quickly realized the feeding problem wasn’t going away, so Vivien was put on a waitlist to get a feeding tube inserted in her stomach.

That’s when the B.C. Centre for Ability entered the picture. Since 1969, the centre has provided services that enhance the quality of life for children, youth and adults with disabilities. In Vivien’s case, she was given an occupational therapist to work with her on her feeding habits.

“We worked with the occupational therapist intensely just to baby-step everything you or I would take for granted when eating – swallowing, where to place it on your tongue, moving the food around,” says Jan, noting Vivien ditched the tube at nine months old.

At the same time, however,Vivien showed signs of gross motor delay and couldn’t sit up. B.C. Centre for Ability also provided Vivien with a physiotherapist to help teach crawling and standing. She walked for the first time at 26 months old. A speech ther-

apist was also brought on board.

Vivien has been seeing each therapist once a month since she was nine months old.

“It has meant everything,” Jan says of the centre’s services, all offered at no charge. “You have extended health, but it only covers maybe one or two visits at best. ...They put

her on the path to have the life skills she needs to fully function in life.”

Jan admits, at first, she figured her daughter had some medical issues, not that she was a special needs child.

“It’s like you’re in a room, and the dimmer light comes on slowly.You don’t really know it right away. For the first little while you think,

‘Maybe she’ll get caught up,’” Jan explains. “It was a bit of process with acceptance, realizing that, and then celebrating it.They’ve (the centre staff) have kind of been there through that process, and sort of mentored us through it, and just behaved like it was completely normal.”

Today,Vivien is a “social and charming” kid, “a to-

tal extrovert” who’s curious about the world.

On Thursday, May 25, she’ll be honoured as a Hero of Ability during the B.C. Centre for Ability’s 18th annual Dining for Dreams Gala.Vivien is one of five people being recognized for her resilience in everyday life and her ability to inspire others to reach for the sky.

Knotted on the Island Junior Lakers settle for a tie in Nanaimo Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Learning how to hold a lead is a pretty important lesson for a club seeking better days.

The Burnaby Lakers are studying that skill but are still short of mastering it.

The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League squad led by three goals with half a period left but needed some overtime heroics to escape Nanaimo with a 10-10 tie on Saturday.

Josh Dumont’s third goal of the day earned the Lakers a draw against a similarly slotted opponent. It kept the two teams tied for fifth place in the standings.

“It was definitely a rollercoaster in ebbs and flows,” remarked Burnaby coach Jason Dallavalle.

“What it came down to is we just couldn’t bear down when we needed it.We just didn’t have that killer instinct, and as a young team, that’s something we’ve got to learn.”

The game could have been defined easily after Burnaby surrendered three straight markers – Nanaimo tied it 9-9 with 2:07 remaining in the third – to face overtime.

The host Timbermen held momentum and actually struck first in the 10-minute extra session, when Cody Clark made it 10-9 with less than three minutes gone.

But Dumont capped a strong game by beating Kain Stewart, with assists to Tyler Leloup and Brandon Fitzgerald, to knot the game with 2:09 left.

Jordan Gabriele counted two goals and set up two others, while Mason Pomeroy also tallied twice.

Aidan Baker, Brad Rowbotham and Pearson Willis also scored.

Turning aside 35 shots was Elijah Uema-Martin.

A few days earlier was a different lesson, as the reigning Minto Cup champions served up a 14-6 thumping.

Burnaby faced an uphill battle against Coquitlam, trailing 8-2 after 20 minutes.

While the game was less slanted over the final two periods, the Lakers were always in a big hole.

Willis led the way with a hat trick. Dylan Kaminski, Dumont and Rowbotham counted singles for Burnaby.

The squad, which expects Patrick Shoemay back next week from his first year at RIT, visits the New Westminster Salmonbellies on May 30.

Middleton honoured for curling success Burnaby curler gets second straight co-junior male award after jr. national victory

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s Sterling Middleton has been there before.

Curling has taken him to a lot of new places and experiences.

So to have Curl B.C. name him and skip Tyler Tardi as the joint 2017 Junior Male Athletes of the Year, along with their team being voted Team of theYear, is just icing on the cake.

“It’s real cool to get the recognition for Tyler and myself and the team,” Middleton said. “It’s for what we have done, but it reaffirms not just the success but also what we’ve done beyond that, the practices, eating well, and everything.”

The Tardi rink – which includes second Jordan Tardi and lead Nicholas Meister – became the first B.C. men’s team to capture the Canadian junior men’s title since 2000, and competed at the

2017 world junior championships in South Korea. At the worlds, the foursome was bounced from the medal round in a tiebreaker with Norway.

A Burnaby resident while attending Douglas College, Middleton said the national title was a special accomplishment.

“I guess the highlight for me was competing and winning the Canadian championship,” he said.

“Our goal each year is to get there and do well, so to achieve it and

play well for a whole week was special.”

They defeated Team Ontario 9-7 in the final for the national title.

He and Tardi later joined up with second Derek Chandler and lead Scott Gray to finish third at the first-ever Canadian under-18 curling championships last month in Moncton, NB. Middleton, the third and viceskip on the team, has just wrapped up his first year of studies at

Douglas College in New Westminster.The squad calls Cloverdale and Royal City curling rinks as its home ice.Tardi is from Cloverdale, and it is in the fortuitousness of their pairing three years ago at the Canada Games that set their path together.

“We did really well together and fit well, and we’ve played together for a couple of seasons now,” said Middleton, 18. “It’s great to be able to fit so well and work so well as a group.”

Rovers nudge Calgary for first win

Zach Verhoven put one in for the record books.

The 17-year-old striker slotted home the winner on a breakaway to lift the TSS Rovers to their first win, 2-1 over Calgary Foothills FC in USL-Premier Development League action last week.

His tally, on a set-up which began with goalie Andrew Hicks and forward Mamadi Camara, came in the 76th minute, after the two teams had battled

through a grueling 1-1 draw in the first half.

Daniel Davidson gave the Rovers the lead just 13 minutes into the contest, before Calgary’s Kyle Jones buried a penalty kick with three minutes left in the half. Hicks turned aside nine shots on the day.

The Rovers head south to play Lane United (Friday) and the Seattle Sounders u23 (May 28) before returning home to host Portland on June 2.

Vladislav Tsygankov, in 400m hurdles and triple jump, rounded out the male contingent.

Among the women who qualified in multiple events were Chantel Desch in

400m and 4x100 relay;Valda Kabia in 200m; Lucas in 4x100m relay; and Townsend in 1500m.

Members of SFU’s women’s 4x100m relay team – Kira Pederson, Desch, Kabia and Lucas – were also honoured.

Ella Brown, in triple jump, Julia Howley, in 1500m, Alana Mussatto, in 800m, and Diana Voloshin, in 100m hurdles, were also chosen.
