‘WE WON’T GO’:

More than 30 protesters with the Stop Demovictions campaign took over council chambers Monday night. The group attended the meeting because the city’s Metrotown downtown plan was on council’s agenda for final adoption. After Burnaby RCMP threatened arrests, the housing activists left and council resumed its meeting. The development plan passed unanimously. PHOTO TEREZA VERENCA

Metrotown plan passes despite protests More than 30 members of the Stop Demovictions campaign occupied council chambers until RCMP arrived Tereza Verenca

Burnaby is forging ahead with its plans to make Metrotown the city’s “true downtown.” City council unanimously passed the controversial Metrotown development plan – a mass rezoning of the neighbourhood that will increase density even further by replacing low-rise

walk-ups with highrise towers – at its meeting Monday night. But it didn’t pass without a fight. Just before the vote, more than 30 housing activists with the Stop Demovictions campaign interrupted councillors by chanting and blowing whistles and air horns. Mayor Derek Corrigan immediately called a recess,

and he and his colleagues left council chambers. “People are losing their homes, and they will lose their homes as a result of this decision,” said Laura Thomson, who lives on Hastings Street, north of the Brentwood mall redevelopment. The protest went on for about two hours.The group asked that the council meeting be cancelled and that

the Metrotown plan be tabled to a later date (city council is now on a monthlong break). Protesters also asked for the provincial government to intervene and place a moratorium on demovictions. Burnaby RCMP were eventually called in. After observing the situation for about an hour, police told the protesters they’d face arrest and charges of mischief

if they didn’t let the meeting proceed. Ivan Drury with Alliance Against Displacement encouraged the group to retreat and noted “the fight is in the streets.” “Staying here is purely symbolic,” he said. Even though the Metrotown plan has passed, housing activists plan to push their “we won’t go” campaign, where renters are

encouraged to stay put even if they get an eviction notice. “If we can convince whole buildings to break unjust evictions and refuse to be forcefully displaced, that’s a powerful movement,” says Zoe Luba with Stop Demovictions. Corrigan, who called the demonstration a “bullying tactic,” reiterated that, in Continued on page 9

Burnaby officers help arrest suspect in wildﬁre looting Search revealed $65,000 worth of stolen heavy equipment

Teen’s death ruled homicide Memorial in Central Park pays tribute to 13-year-old Burnaby girl Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A makeshift memorial for a 13-year-old Burnaby girl whose body was found in Central Park last week continues to grow after a vigil by the southeast entrance to the park Saturday. “I just came by to pay my respects,” said Simon Kan, an EastVancouver resident who placed a small bouquet among the flowers, stuffed animals, notes and other items Monday. Marrisa Shen, who would have started Grade 9 at Moscrop Secondary in the fall, was reported missing at about 11:30 p.m. on July 18. Her body was found in the brush in the southeast section of Central Park at about 1:10 a.m. on July 19. Police have since confirmed her death was a homicide.

“The evidence recovered doesn’t indicate if Miss Shen was the intended victim of homicide, or if her homicide was a random act,” Integrated Homicide InvestigationTeam (IHIT) spokesperson Cpl. Meghan Foster stated in a press release last week. “The risk to public remains unknown, but we ask that the public remain vigilant.” IHIT has also released security video from an apartment building near the crime scene that shows Shen apparently entering the building on the day of her disappearance. The video shows her wearing a dark-colouredTshirt, shorts and runners. Police say those appeared to be the clothes she was found with. The teen was last seen leaving her home near the park at 6:02 p.m. on July

18, according to investigators. Shen was last contacted by phone at 5 p.m. “Currently, investigators are working to determine motive and identify a suspect,” Foster said. Investigators have been canvassing the area in and around the park, and Burnaby RCMP has stepped up daily foot and bike patrols in the area. “Many details into the cause of Miss Shen’s death are currently unknown,” Insp. SanjayaWijayakoon, acting officer in charge of the Burnaby RCMP detachment said at a press conference last week, “but we ask that families have a conversation with their kids about safety. It’s always good to do this with your kids.We asked that you be vigilant and be aware of your surroundings.”

IHIT, meanwhile, is working to gather and review evidence, according to Foster. “No stone will be left unturned, and we ask that anyone with information contact police so that we can apprehend those responsible, and hold them accountable,” she said. IHIT is asking anyone who may have seen Shen between 6 p.m. July 18 and 1 a.m. July 19 to contact police. Investigators are also asking anyone who might have noticed anything suspicious in or near the park during that time to contact police. Anyone with information is asked to phone 1-877551-IHIT (4448) or email ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Burnaby Mounties were in the right place at the right time to help recover property stolen from the wildfire evacuation zone around Williams Lake earlier this month. Officers from the Burnaby detachment had been deployed to the area to help with wildfire evacuations when they were pulled into an investigation led by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-B.C.). The unit had gotten word of a “potential prolific property offender” stealing from evacuated properties. “There’s been concerns up there for the better part of 10 days around theft and looting,” Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, CFSEUB.C. spokesperson, told the NOW. “There’s been reports of theft and looting and things like that from some of the people who didn’t evacuate, and people coming in from backroads and things. Our guys have been on the watch for that.” Burnaby Mounties joined

a CFSEU-B.C. joint forces operation that led to a search of the suspect’s stash site on a remote property in the Beaver Creek area outside of Williams Lake. The search revealed $65,000 in stolen heavy equipment. Shane Brady, a 38-yearold Big Lake resident, was arrested and has been charged with possession of stolen property with a value higher than $5,000. Brady’s next court date is scheduled for Aug. 1 in Williams Lake. CFSEU-B.C. thanked Burnaby RCMP, the B.C. Conservation Service and RCMP’s E Division North District Federal and Serious Organized Crime Unit for help with the investigation. “There’s RCMP members and municipal police officers from all over the province and even Alberta there,” Houghton said, “and it was sort of a Johnny-onthe-spot, ‘Hey, you’re here. Do you want to help us with this file?’” – Cornelia Naylor

High-speed brothers earn a pair of traffic ﬁnes A pair of brothers got a lesson in slowing down – and communication – at a Burnaby RCMP speed trap this month. Traffic services was conducting speed enforcement on Southridge Drive by Byrnepark Drive on July 11 at about 2 p.m., according to police, when they clocked a 2017 Hyundai speeding through the 50 km/h zone at 113 clicks. Officers pulled over the 24-year-old driver, issued him a $368 fine for excessive speeding and told him his vehicle would be impounded for seven days.

With no way to get home, he called his younger brother to pick him up. A short time later, a 2017 Audi came flying down the hill at 138 km/h, according to police. The 18-year-old new driver was promptly pulled over, issued the same $368 fine and relieved of his ride for seven days as well. “It was the brother who was coming to pick up his other brother,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW. The pair left in a cab, she said. – Cornelia Naylor

Fireﬁghters perfect technical rescue skills Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two dummies were cut out of a car wreck while another was rescued using ropes during a demonstration by the Burnaby Fire Department recently. The firefighters ran through two scenarios – a car crash and a fall at a construction site – at Fire Hall No. 1 on July 11 to show

members of the city’s public safety committee how the department uses specialized training to save lives. The technical rescue team, based out of Firehall No. 5 in North Burnaby, showed how firefighters would execute a high-angle rescue of a worker who had fallen into a big excavation pit at a construction site. It’s a plausible scenario in Burnaby with all the

towers going up in the city, said deputy fire Chief Dave Samson. In fact, the techniques firefighters demonstrated were used in January to extricate a man experiencing medical problems from an elevator car stuck on the seventh floor of the Telus building. A high-angle rescue could also be used to save window washers, tower crane operators and people who fall off the back of Burnaby Moun-

It’s all about teamwork and communication tain, according to Samson. “It’s all about teamwork and communication,” he said, as a firefighter scaled Fire Hall No. 1’s 70-foot training tower to rescue the fallen dummy. One of the department’s

busiest specialities is its rescue task force, which responds to motor vehicle accidents. At the July 11 event, public safety committee members got to watch a complete rescue scenario unfold featuring two crashed cars with dummies trapped inside. Before cutting the vehicles open with the Jaws of Life, firefighters have to stabilize them and defuse all manner of potential hidden dangers – like exploding airbags that

can launch a firefighter 10 feet, according to Samson. Electric cars pose their own unique dangers, and, while firefighters have access to detailed specs that should warn them where not to cut, the technology changes quickly, Samson said. “It’s still scary,” he said. Despite the challenges, cutting a patient out of a car takes a matter of minutes. “Our crews work tirelessly on this speciality,” Samson said.

Hearing aids are your way back into the conversation. Many people have trouble catching what’s being said in a conversation. Missing words can be frustrating and some people decide it’s easier not being part of a conversation at all. Withdrawing is a way of coping with not hearing well. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Hearing aids can help those with hearing loss get back into the conversation so that they can be fully engaged and social again. The ability to accurately understand spoken words is called “speech comprehension.” It’s a complex process involving several areas in the brain – and most importantly – our hearing. As we age and our hearing changes, it becomes not only harder to hear speech, it also takes more effort to understand what’s being said.

News now New cenotaph planned Care centre has launched fundraising campaign

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

East Burnaby will have its own cenotaph by Remembrance Day if the George Derby Care Society has its way. The society is currently fundraising for the construction of a new monument in a prominent spot by the flag posts at the front entrance of the Cumberland Street centre, which was built in 1986 to house disabled veterans. “The residents are veterans,” board member RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis said, “and they would like the cenotaph there so they don’t have to travel to remember their friends and

family.” The care centre already has a monument honouring its veterans, put up in 2008, but its placement to the right of the main entrance and close to the building doesn’t allow for proper ceremonies, Buis said. The society has looked into moving the existing monument, but it’s been told a move would likely damage it. The old monument’s inscription, “To the honoured brave who so valiantly served in the defense of their country” also strikes some residents as not inclusive enough – especially since George Derby now houses so many non-veterans.

“It’s for veterans only,” said Ken Carlson, chair of the centre’s residents’ council. “Since less than half the residents here now are veterans, we have to recognize everybody.” Carlson, who has lived at George Derby for fourand-a-half years, served in the navy for four years during the SecondWorldWar, but many of George Derby’s residents are now women, he noted. “They get no recognition,” he said. “The cenotaph will be for them as well Continued on page 8

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Time to spend those rainy-day savings

As one of its first acts since taking power, the Green-backed NDP minority government raised the amount people on disability and welfare can collect each month by $100. With the higher monthly payments, income assistance is capped at $710 per month and disability payments at $1,133.The premier says this will take B.C. from the province with the

lowest payments in Canada to the third highest. Predictably, anti-poverty advocates are pleased with the news but were quick to add that it’s not enough. And they’re right.The previous government took a laissez-faire approach to support for our most vulnerable while the cost of living in this province ballooned. When it came to welfare

The previous government took a laissez-faire approach to support for our most vulnerable … rates, they proudly left them frozen for 10 years in the name of saving our pennies for a rainy day.Well, it’s raining now. As changes in govern-

ment policy go, an increase in social assistance rates is a relatively easy thing to do. It doesn’t require any major legislative changes. But this may be a signal of what’s to

come from this GreeNDP government. We won’t know for sure until they’ve had a good long look at the books to see whether B.C.’s finances are in as good a shape as the B.C. Liberals had claimed. But if the unaudited financial statements trotted out by former finance minister Mike De Jong as his government flailed to stay in power have any truth to

them, the NDP will have plenty of money in the bank to start making good on their very expensive promises. They will be making it rain in areas like social assistance and education where the Liberals had enforced a drought for much of a long, dry decade or more before. – guest editorial courtesy of the North Shore News

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP has hit the ground running It may possess a tiny majority in the legislature, but the new B.C. NDP government has hit the ground running with a speed that suggests a confidence that exceeds the tightness of the seating plan in the house. The new government of Premier John Horgan has been quick to raise social assistance rates, double the financial assistance for those evacuated because of wildfires, fire more than 100 staff thought to be too closely tied to the previous B.C. Liberal government and hire dozens of their own political supporters. It also moved quickly to change top level management at two Crown corporations facing significant financial challenges – B.C. Hydro and ICBC. Although the wildfire emergency situation, necessarily and understandably, has pushed other policy changes into the background, don’t be surprised if there is a whirlwind of cabinet orders and staffing changes throughout the summer as we await the recall of the legislature in September. There has been the occasional hiccup for the new government – Energy Minister Michelle Mungall didn’t know her government had fired B.C. Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald, which was fairly embarrassing, and not all ministry offices are even functional right now – but, by and large, the party seems to be settling into its new role just fine. The same cannot be said about the B.C. Liberals,

who after 16 years in power, seem baffled by what is expected from an Opposition party. Judging by comments by some of their MLAs on social media, they don’t seem to have come to grips yet with the political reality that has now taken hold. In fact, the B.C. Liberals should be careful not to repeat a critical mistake by the NDP in the aftermath of the 2013 election. The NDP, for quite a while, seemed to regard the election outcome as some sort of fraudulent affair, and many of their members refused to view the B.C. Liberal government as legitimate.The B.C. Liberals, some of them anyway, seem to be taking the same attitude this time around. They also seem to be struggling with how to attack the new government. A strange news release late last week lambasted the new government over an internal ICBC report that painted a very bleak picture of the Crown corporation’s precarious financial situation and suggested major action – including potentially big rate increases – is required to fix things. The trouble is, the report was commissioned by the B.C. Liberals when they were still in power and every single problem uncovered by the report occurred on their watch, not the NDP’s. The B.C. Liberals should get their heads around the fact they’re not in government anymore.The other guys are, and they’re moving fast. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Opinionnow It’s time to move ahead with reconciliation

Dear Editor: In 1996, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples observed, “A country cannot be built on a living lie.” Now is the time, during the Canada 150 activities, to complete the story. Phil Fontaine explains why it’s essential to recognize Indigenous peoples’ history: “(We have been) outside looking in, not really a part of Confederation, not really full citizens. We have no protection of our languages, no protection of our laws, no protection of our cultures.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committed to implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 final recommendations – now is the time to call on the government to support legislation clearly recognizing Indigenous peoples’ history and their role in founding Canada. Now is the time to turn recognition to action. Learn more at recognition2action.ca. Dammy Ogunseitan, via email

City seeks ‘willing partners’ Continued from page 1 order for more social housing to be built, the federal and provincial governments need to come to the table. The mayor said he’ll be meeting with local MLAs in the future to talk about housing and see what initiatives the new B.C. NDP government can come up

with. “I know we’re certainly willing partners.We’re looking for ways to contribute, but we can’t do it all on our shoulders.We can offer up land, we can offer up bonus density (money), but we can’t expect that our property taxes are going to subsidize housing over an ex-

tended period of time,” he said. “When you’ve had 15 or 20 years of failure by the federal and provincial governments to initiate much in the way of that kind of housing and you’ve had the influx of people that we’ve had, it makes it very, very difficult to catch up.”

Four decades of ﬁtness, fun and friendship For 40 years, the women of ALIVE have been meeting at Swangard Stadium three times a week Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

A group of Burnaby women are celebrating four decades of keeping fit and having fun. ALIVE, which stands for All Ladies Interested in Vitality and Energy, is an exercise group that has been meeting in Central Park every Monday,Wednesday and Friday for 40 years. (The group isn’t a stranger to the spotlight, having been featured in the Burnaby NOW for its 25th and 35th anniversaries.)

They said the next one comes in will be the secretary…

While women have come and gone over the years, two have been a part of ALIVE since it began – Marian McKeown and Betty Forbes. Now 86 and 94 years old, respectively, the pair signed up back in 1977 after radio disc jockey Terry Moore announced he was starting an exercise group and anyone was welcome to join. “Terry Moore said, ‘Come on out to a meeting at the radio station,’ and so I was picked up and the man that picked me up was a little late in picking me up and the doors were all locked (at the station), and anyway,

we walked in and everybody clapped, and we didn’t know why,” Forbes said. “They said the next one comes in will be the secretary,” McKeown laughed. “So I helped make up the rules, and hung around for a couple of years,” Forbes said. A couple of years turned into four decades for the pair.What started as “Moore’s Milers” with about 65 people – both men and women – for the first few years was pared down to 36 by the 1980s. “We came from all over Vancouver because it was broadcast on the radio. Now it’s pretty much people from around here (the park),” McKeown said. The group still meets three times a week every week for one hour at Swangard Stadium.The group first met in Vancouver but moved to Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium when they got word they could use it for free. But it’s more than exercise that keeps these women coming back week after week. “It’s the camaraderie,” McKeown said. Once a month the club’s social committee plans an outing for the women.They used to go out of town, McKeown said, and one time they even went to Reno, Nevada. Now they stick closer to home. They visit places like Stanley Park in Vancouver and River Market in New Westminster.

DECADES OF DEDICATION: Clockwise from top left, Helen Hall moves through her exercise routine; Shirley Hill, forefront, and Anna Burroughs follow the steps; Pat Morison, left, receives a bouquet of flowers for her birthday from Ann Younker after their workout; and the women of ALIVE – All Ladies Interested in Vitality and Energy. The exercise group has been meeting three days a week at Swangard Stadium for the past 40 years. There are about 32 members of the group ranging in age from 60 to early 90s. PHOTOS CAYLEY DOBIE “The next one is Queen Elizabeth Park and we’re going to go to the conservatory and walk around the park and have lunch,” Forbes said. “There’s always a lunch.” Over the 40 years, the group has only had to cancel a handful of sessions,

Forbes added, the most recent being this past winter when heavy snowfall made it impossible for the group to traverse the paths from the parking lot to the stadium. Otherwise, the group meets no matter what the weather is like. “I try to get here every

Monday,Wednesday, Friday. I don’t always make it,” Forbes admitted. And that’s pretty typical of everyone. On average, about 20 people turn out to each session; they don’t often get the full 36, and right now there aren’t even 36 members.They still have

space for about four members. (They have 32 women signed up right now.) Anyone women interested in joining can just show up to a session.The group meets Monday,Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. at Swangard Stadium.

How to keep cool New project helps assess seniors’ frailty this summer With nothing but sunny skies in the forecast, Fraser Health is sharing tips on how to beat the heat. For starters, keeping cool is key. Spend at least several hours every day in an airconditioned space, such as a shopping centre or library. When temps really get up there, use public splash pools, water parks or take a cool bath or shower. If you’re outside, don’t forget to wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, dress in lightweight clothing and protect yourself from the sun by sporting a widebrimmed hat and sunglasses. During hot weather, fans alone are not effective. Applying cool water mist or wet towels to your body before sitting in front of a fan is a quick way to cool off. It’s also very important to stay hydrated, meaning drink lots of water. If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you

drink or has you on water pills, ask about increasing the amount of water you can drink while the weather is hot. Anyone who exercises in the heat is advised to drink two to four glasses of fluids each hour. Have a neighbour who lives alone? Check in regularly with them as they’re at high risk of severe heatrelated illness, according to Fraser Health. Ask them if they know how to prevent heat-related illnesses and if they’re taking precautions. If they are unwell, move them to a shady spot, help them get hydrated and call for medical assistance if required. Fraser Health is also reminding folks to never leave children or pets alone in a parked car. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/TipsFor KeepingCool or call HealthLink B.C. at 811.

A new electronic assessment tool aims to help seniors age well. The Community Action and Resources Empowering Seniors (CARES) project is based on research showing that frailty in senior adults with chronic health conditions can be delayed and potentially prevented. Fraser Health has partnered with Intrahealth Canada Limited and the Ridge Meadows division of family practice to create an electronic comprehensive geriatric assessment tool that’s able to calculate a frailty index. Dr. Grace Park, a fam-

ily physician and Fraser Health’s regional medical director for home health, has seen too many seniors

We want to stay in our own homes as long as possible

after it’s too late to prevent frailty, leaving them vulnerable to falls and poor health outcomes.Without support and resources, many seniors

struggle to maintain their health and independence at home. “I have heard from my own patients, from my family and friends, and I know for myself that we want to stay in our own homes as long as possible,” she said in a press release. Park and CARES project lead Annette Garm spearheaded the initiative, which uses a comprehensive geriatric assessment to identify seniors who are most at risk of frailty. Once a senior is aware of their risk, they are partnered with a free telephone health coach from Self-Manage-

ment B.C. who helps them develop healthy behaviours and access the resources they need to stay well and independent. “It’s a perfect partnership for frailty prevention and healthy aging,” said Garm, who holds masters degrees in nursing and liberal arts and advanced certification in gerontology and research. “There’s growing evidence that frailty in seniors is not inevitable, and CARES aligns with this new research.” The women are presenting on the CARES model and the new electronic Continued on page 16

Identifying frailty before an incident occurs Continued from page 15 frailty index comprehensive geriatric assessment tool at this week’s International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics world congress in San Francisco. The tool developed by the duo, based on work of geriatric experts Dr. Ken Rockwood and Dr. Xiaowei Song, replaces the paper-based assessment forms and calculates a frailty index in an office setting. A frailty index is a sensitive and predictive measurement of frailty. According to Fraser Health, assessing a patient before and after participation in the CARES project enables a doctor or nurse practitioner to measure any improvement in the frailty index and encourage the patient to develop a selfcare plan. “It means we can help intervene in the general progression of aging as we have known it,” Park said in the release. “We don’t have to

wait for the patient to have some kind of crucial incident that lands them in the hospital before we can help them. By then it’s often too late and really difficult to get them back to the quality of life they want.With the new CARES model, we can start

early, avoid costly hospital admission and give seniors a real chance to age well.” While Fraser Health continues to roll out the CARES project across the region, the assessment tool is now available to care providers using the Intrahealth profile electronic medical record system.

What’s involved in the CARES Model? ! Primary care providers identify participants aged 65 to 83 who are living at home or in assisted living settings, who have a Rockwood clinical frailty score of between three and five and are vulnerable to decline into frailty. ! A comprehensive geriatric health assessment capable of generating a frailty index is completed by the primary care team to assess the seniors’ frailty level. ! Using the assessment finding, a wellness plan is created that identifies goals most important to the participants that will enhance their health and quality of life. ! Seniors are paired with a telephone-based health coach to track their progress over a four- to six-month period. Health coaches are provided free through SelfManagement B.C. “At the end of six months, the assessment is

repeated and compared to baseline,” said a description of the program on Fraser Health’s website. “In the

preliminary study, there was a statistically significant decrease in the frailty index score of participating se-

niors equivalent to having to fewer health problems present or emerge within that six-month period.”

The mental resolve Erin Regan developed over 17 years of competitive figure skating to pick herself up and keep going after crashing hard to the ice is serving her well in her new sport, Aussie rules football. Now she crashes into other bodies. Regan, who plays for the Burnaby-based Vancouver Vixens, left Monday for footy’s heartland, Melbourne, Australia, where she’ll play for Canada’s national women’s team at the sixth Australian Football International Cup that runs from Aug. 5 to 19. The tournament, which is contested every three years, is the largest international Aussie rules football event in the world, and Canada is the defending women’s champion. That’s put a little extra pressure on Regan, who only discovered the sport four years ago after she played rugby for 10 years following the demise of her skating aspirations.

Strong ﬁnish earns Burnaby bantam crown Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Taking the lessons learned in a round-robin loss, the Burnaby bantam A1 Lakers turned the tables on Ridge Meadows in the provincial final, resulting in a 6-5 win for the underdogs. Needless to say, the Lakers’ victory on the final day was extremely sweet. “Up to (the final) we were 0-3 against them,” recalled co-coach Rusty Wills. “They are the better team, but we told the boys anything can happen. In the final we got the win.” Any concerns that the earlier 6-2 loss, which came in their fourth round-robin game of the tournament, would foreshadow the final were quickly erased as Burnaby built up a 4-1 lead after the first period, and 6-1 midway through the second.

Captain Joshua Gabriele and Phillip Marin tallied twice each, with singles by Xander Cabeca and Taylor Nellis. The netminding of Marc Rippberger, who was chosen the final game MVP after turning aside 34 shots, and stellar team defence – led by Marcus Jantzen, Jacob Spartano and Gabriele, held Ridge Meadows in check. “(Rippberger) was on top of his game, and our defence was on top of their game,” said Wills, who shared coaching duties with Randy Jones and Art Vargas. The foundation of this squad had won the bantam A2 provincials a year ago and earned promotion to the top division after posting an 8-0 record during this season’s tiering round. They finished the regular season second overall, behind Ridge Meadows, at 16-7. A dramatic 9-4 decision over arch-rival Co-

quitlam in the final round-robin contest paved the way for the provincial banner. Trailing the Adanacs 4-1 after one period, Burnaby countered with the next eight goals to advance to the final. “The other teams’ coaches told us we were the hardest working team they’d seen (at the tournament),” remarked Wills. “We have a lot of good athletes and big hearts.” Gabriele was named the tourney’s MVP, while Sean Fox picked up the Warrior Fair Play award. The Lakers’ championship roster includes: Michael Beecroft, Xander Cabeca, Luka Cocco, Matteo De Angelis, Lexx Edwards, Sean Fox, Joshua Gabriele, Giancarlo Garcea, Ian Gee, Marcus Jantzen, Phillip Marin, Ryan Nagy, Dylan Negrich,Taylor Nellis, Kevin Oliver, Marc Rippberger, Jacob Spartano, Corin Tan and Anthony Vargas.

Lakers douse ’Rocks

Burnaby clinches playoff berth, sets tone for final week Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In the topsy-turvy world of the Western Lacrosse Association, there is not much separating the top-four teams as they rev their engines in preparation for the upcoming playoffs. For the Burnaby Lakers, finishing first or second in the standings would be a feather in their cap – but one easily plucked should they not carry it through with a lengthy playoff run. If it means racing a virtualreality shark, the Lakers are ready to one-up Olympian Michael Phelps. By handling the visiting Victoria Shamrocks 7-4 last Friday at the Bill Copeland Sports Complex, Burnaby demonstrated the form it will take to move up the ladder. The victory also officially clinched a playoff berth. “For us, the focus for everyone was on just doing the job, making each shift count every time you’re out there,” remarked veteran Dane Stevens, who tallied twice in a game Burnaby never trailed. Most of the offence came in the first period. Goals by Jackson Decker, Stevens and Eli McLaughlin put the home team in front before the 10-minute mark.The teams traded goals midway through the frame, before Victoria made it a one-goal game with tallies from Chris Wardle and league scoring leader Corey Small just 1:09 apart. But the Lakers replied just 29 seconds after Small scored with a pair of goals off the sticks of Matt Beers and McLaughlin. McLaughlin completed the hat trick with a powerplay goal halfway through the game. While the Shamrocks added another marker, they were stymied the rest of the night – including all 21 shots in the third – by netminder Eric Penney.The Laker goalie turned aside 53 shots, as Burnaby improved to 9-5-1 – three points back of firstplace Maple Ridge but with two games in hand.

WED JUL 26, 2017

Is now the time to buy local real estate? With warm summer weather and school vacations in full swing, many would-be home buyers seem to be more preoccupied with having a good time than purchasing a property. In the week of July 10-16, this resulted in a slight uptick in available homes for sale, for both detached houses and attached units such as condos, townhomes and duplexes. All property types took a little longer to sell than the previous week, too, with days on market creeping up to a median of 17 for attached units and 35 for single-family homes. Port Moody, where prices are steadily rising on the back of the SkyTrain extension and a host of new development, saw the highest median attached unit price at $642,750. But it was Burnaby South that saw the area’s most expensive attached home sale that week – a stunning familysized duplex in Upper Deer Lake that sold

for $1,618,000 after 42 days on market. Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam are the areas to find more of a bargain, it seems. Of the entire area’s seven unit sales under $400K during the same week, three were in Port Coquitlam. The least expensive sale was a one-bed, 740-square-foot condo in Coquitlam’s Maillardville neighbourhood, which went for a mere $280K. Coquitlam also boasted the lowestpriced detached home sale that week – a great 1980-built four-bedroom family home in the River Springs community, which has a community pool and recreational facilities. This house sold for $812,500 after 30 days listed. Indeed, all but one of the nine singlefamily homes that sold the same week for under $1 million are located either in Port Coquitlam or Coquitlam. Burnaby homes sat firmly in the middle of the price pack – but it’s a city that is

BUTCHERS BLOCK BBQ

C H E F C A LV I N L E V E S Q U E

Retractable Screen for Large Opening Doors and Windows

We recently caught up with Calvin and Mary Levesque, owners of Butchers Block BBQ, who offered some insight into their bustling BBQ restaurant. What style BBQ do you have?

RetractaViewTM

We don’t go by any style of barbecue. My husband (Chef Calvin Levesque) calls it backyard barbecue. He played with different ingredients to make his own sauces and then tried the best ones on family and friends. We have a home-made spicy sauce, a regular barbecue sauce and several different rubs - all made in-house.

SecuraViewTM

Which dishes would you recommend to first time guests?

Let the fresh air in, while keeping the bugs out!

No bars, No Grilles, Security with a View! We don’t have a best item. If it isn’t really good, we won’t put it on the menu.

604-299-8878 | wizardscreens.com | QUALITY • COMFORT • CONVENIENCE

C H E F C A LV I N L E V E S Q U E

For first time customers, I find a lot of them have never tried brisket. Being Asian myself, we have a million and one ways to cook brisket and it is so good. It is the fat that makes brisket taste so tender and juicy, but a lot of people are afraid to try it because of the fat. But once they’ve tried it, they always say wow, that is amazing. However, for those who don’t like fat, I recommend our pulled pork, ribs and BBQ chicken. How is your BBQ different than others? I never say we are better than anyone else, but what makes us different is that we smoke our meat daily … we never smoke meat to last for a few days. That way, everything is kept as fresh as possible. We want the taste of the meat to come through. We have also found that Canadians don’t like heavy smoke the way Americans do. We lightly smoke ours so that the nuances of the meats shine through.

FULL{

Finally, we buy our buns and cornbread from the Valley Bakery just across the street and all our meats is locally sourced. How did you get started in the BBQ restaurant business? On June 1st, we celebrated 12 years in the business. We initially opened as Burgers Etc. BBQ House but we found that people thought we were only about burgers. Our burgers were freshly handmade everyday and very popular. However, during rush hour, trying to handmake every burger plus the BBQ, it became too much. In October 2016, we rebranded to Butchers Block BBQ and we only focus on barbecue. We have been honoured with some great reviews. (The Province newspaper said: “Barbecue sauce that will knock your taste buds off your tongue” while The Burnaby Now declared: “The ribs fall off the bone … the pulled pork could not have been juicier.”) In the end, Calvin just wants to keep everything consistently delicious, simple and fresh. @ButchersBlkBBQ Butchers Block BBQ butchersblockbbq 4091 Hastings Street, Burnaby 604-299-8959
