Greens set sights on city council

The Burnaby Green Party has announced it intends to run a full slate in this fall’s municipal election and declared its candidates are “out to restore some democracy to city hall.”

Four candidates, all of whom have previously run as Green Party candidates in federal, provincial and civic elections, were named in the announcement. But the group, said one of the candidates, will run a complete slate to challenge the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA), which has swept the mayoralty, council and board of education seats in the last three municipal elections.

“The awareness of the Green Party in B.C. is higher than it’s ever been before.

This is our chance.

Basically, we’re out to restore some democracy to city hall in Burnaby,” said Joe Keithley, a longtime activist, musician and Burnaby native.

Joe Keithley By the time the Green Party Oct. 20 election rolls around, the BCA will have controlled the mayor’s chair, all eight seats on council and the seven school trustee positions for a decade.The BCA has held the majority on council since 1987 and the school board since 1983. Derek Corrigan was first elected to council in 1987 and has been the city’s mayor since 2002. In recent elections, opposing slates – including those fielded by Team Burnaby in the 2008 and 2011 elections and Burnaby First in 2014 – have failed to elect Continued on page 10

Half-a-million dollars will get you a 450-square-foot condo in Burnaby, according to a recent real estate survey.

The survey, by real estate data firm Altus Group Ltd., explored what kind of new condo $500,000 could buy in downtown markets across the country.The data shows Burnaby’s new condo market is nearly aligned with Toronto’s market, where buyers with $500,000 to spend can get a 430-sq.-ft. one-bedroom.

In cities like Calgary and Edmonton, buyers can get double the space for the same $500,000. In Calgary, for example, buyers with a $500,000 budget would have no trouble finding a new condo with 900 sq. ft., while in Edmonton, new condos with an average of 1,000 sq. ft. are going for the same $500,000, according to the report.

“Comparing the pricing of available new condominium apartment units found that consumers have considerably more buying power in smaller markets such as Calgary, Edmonton and Kitchener versus the two largest markets,Vancouver and Toronto,” noted the report.

Compared to Vancouver, however, Burnaby is relatively affordable, according to the report.

Altus Group could not find any new condos for sale in Vancouver for $500,000.

‘We’ll do whatever it takes to stop this’

Pipeline opponents plan a mass demonstration for Burnaby Mountain on March 10 Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mountain will once again be the site of a mass demonstration.

In response to Kinder Morgan’s $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project, anti-pipeline activists are organizing a protest on March 10.

It’s very important to protect our waters

“It’s very important to protect our waters,” said project leaderWill George, also a member of the TsleilWaututh First Nation.

“That pipeline produces so many dangers and hazards that we can’t allow it to come to our water.”

George said the protest has been in the works for the last two years and he anticipates upward of 500 attendees.

Members of the Tsleil-

Waututh First Nation launched a nationwide callout on Feb. 6 to “rise up and support the mobilization.”The call-out went to “hundreds of thousands” of people, including environmental groups, civic society organizations and pipeline opponents.

The call-out came less than a week after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the CBC the pipeline expansion and two key programs – the Oceans Protection Plan and carbon pricing – are a package deal.

Trudeau has maintained the pipeline is in the national interest and will get built.

“Under no circumstances will we be blackmailed by (Justin) Trudeau into accepting the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline,” said Chief Bob Chamberlin, vice-president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, in a press release. “We resent his threats to cancel the oceans protection plan and carbon cuts unless the pipeline goes forward.We’ll do whatever it takes to stop this pipeline.

The question is, will Justin Trudeau do whatever it takes to build it?”

PROTESTS: More than 100 protesters were arrested on Burnaby Mountain in late 2014 for interfering with Kinder Morgan’s survey work.

Pipeline opponents are gearing up for another demonstration on the mountain on March 10. PHOTO NOW FILES In an emailed statement, Trans Mountain said it supports people’s right to peacefully and lawfully express their opinions.

“We understand that not everyone supports the expansion. But, we’re confident we can build and operate this project in a way that

respects the values and priorities of Canadians and in respect of the environment,” read the statement.

Once complete, the Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline will carry about 890,000 barrels of oil per day, nearly three times more oil than its current capacity.

Pipeline tunnel gets go-ahead Kinder Morgan can start site clearing for Burnaby Mountain section Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Kinder Morgan can start construction on its Burnaby Mountain tunnel, the National Energy Board announced on Thursday.

As part of its $7.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, the Texas-based company wants to build a 2.6-kilometre tunnel between its Burnaby terminal and Westridge marine terminal. (Kinder Morgan went with the tunnel option to avoid going through residential neighbourhoods.)

Kinder Morgan filed a request with the NEB on Jan. 25, asking if it could start construction on its Westridge portal and be granted relief from the preconstruction conditions. It gave the NEB until Feb. 15 to decide on the matter.

The company original-

ly asked the NEB for permission last August but was denied. At the time, the national energy regulator’s oral hearings into the route hadn’t been held, so the NEB ruled the City of Burnaby was “entitled to have the grounds of their opposition on these matters heard.”

According to the Feb. 15 decision, Kinder Morgan said it needs four to six weeks to clear trees and grade the Westridge site, and that work needs to take place before migratory bird restrictions come into effect on March 26. If crews don’t meet that window, clearing the site would be delayed until August, according to Kinder Morgan.

Other work at the Westridge site includes installing a retaining wall.

“The board has examined Trans Mountain’s request

and is of the view that the (Westridge) scope of work set out by Trans Mountain is reasonable, given the importance of the approaching migratory bird timing window restrictions set out by Environment and Climate

It continues a long trend of NEB decisions.

Change Canada,” read the decision.

Greg McDade, a lawyer with the City of Burnaby, said he wasn’t surprised by the NEB’s ruling.

“It continues a long trend of NEB decisions. ...What Trans Mountain asks for, Trans Mountain gets,” he told the NOW. “Burnaby’s frustrated by the continu-

ing refusal of the NEB to really take municipal concerns into account and to put the pipeline company’s interests on a higher plane as if the federal government gets to override the people who actually have to live with the result.”

In an emailed statement, Trans Mountain said it was pleased with the decision.

Nearly 56 per cent of the proposed route has been approved by the NEB. No decision has been made on the controversial section through the Brunette River Conservation Area.That decision and others related to the Burnaby segment of the pipeline are expected in late April.

The project, which has started a trade dispute between Alberta and B.C., is expected to be in service by December 2020 if all goes according to plan.

Protesters have blocked the gates at Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby terminal on many occasions over the last few months.

In November 2014, more than 100 Kinder Morgan protesters were arrested on Burnaby Mountain. Police enforced a court-order

injunction, which forbade the group from interfering while the company conducted survey work for its new pipeline route. However, all charges were dropped because Kinder Morgan had the wrong GPS coordinates for the no-go zone.

Pipeline opponents ready to protest, new poll shows About one in four opponents of the Kinder Morgan pipeline would consider acts of civil disobedience, according to a new poll.

The Insights West survey, conducted on behalf of Burnaby South NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, found 48 per cent support the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project, 44 per cent oppose it and nine per cent are undecided.

“These polling results reflect what I see on the ground here in British Columbia,” said Stewart in a press release. “Thousands of pipeline opponents have contacted their MPs and participated in marches.

Now it appears many are prepared to take their opposition to another level.”

Kinder Morgan is pro-

posing to build 980 kilometres of new pipeline that will transport up to 890,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day from Alberta’s tar sands to B.C.’s coast.The project was federally approved in November 2016 with 157 conditions, but the B.C. NDP has vowed to use every tool available to stop it.

The poll was conducted online between Feb. 7 and 9 and had 938 respondents.

When asked what actions they’d consider to oppose the pipeline, twothirds said they’d write a letter to their MP, 54 per cent said they’d consider attending a public protest and 23 per cent said they’d engage in acts of civil disobedience to stop or disrupt construction.

In 2016/17, 48 per cent of the money the district spent on salaries went to employees who made more than

his injuries, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which has since taken over the investigation.

IHIT identified the victim as 45-year-old Donald Kelly of Burnaby, and investigators are now looking to the public for information about Kelly’s activities before his death. Investigators believe the shooting was targeted, but there is no evidence as yet to link his death to other recent homi-

cides or reported acts of violence, according to IHIT. Shortly after Kelly’s shooting, Coquitlam RCMP was notified of a burning dark-coloured sedan a short distance away in the area of Mariner Way near Dartmoor Drive.

Anyone with information is asked to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448), or ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

between those two years was mostly due to teachers breaking the threshold, according to Horswill, because of salary increases negotiated into the teachers’ collective agreement in 2014 and because of teachers moving up the salary grid over time.

The average teacher salary cost in Burnaby last year was actually above the threshold, at $75,243.

School District No. 87 (Stikine) had the highest average teacher salary cost in the province at $87,022, while School District No. 74 (Gold Trail) had the lowest at $70,426.

Districts are paid a salary differential by the provincial government if their teacher salary costs are higher than the district paying the lowest costs.

Nearly half the money the Burnaby school district spent on salaries last year went to people making more than $75,000, according to the 2016/17 statement of financial information (SOFI) recently posted on the district’s website.

Every year, B.C. school districts are required to make public the salaries

of all employees who earn more than $75,000.

It’s a requirement designed to ensure transparency and accountability, according to Burnaby secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill.

But he said he can’t remember the $75,000 threshold set for the SOFI ever changing since he first joined the public education sector in 1987.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Discard democracy and bring on the games

It’s no surprise to most city hall watchers that Burnaby suffers from what you might call a democratic deficit.

With the Burnaby Citizens Association having held complete control for three straight elections – that’s 10 years of complete rule over city council, school board and the mayor’s office – there hasn’t been much chance for folks of other political stripes to get their opinions heard.

The Greens are setting out to change that by stepping forward with a plan to run candidates in the municipal elections this fall (see story on page 1).

On first glance, we were all for it.

But then we watched the Olympic figure skating ice dance final, and we realized that we’re missing a golden (pun completely intentional) opportunity to rework the way we choose our elected officials.

We need to scrap boring old elections in favour of an Olympic-style competition.

Prospective council members would be required to present two programs to the public.

Their short program – to be performed in a public venue in front of a live audience – would have to contain all the technical elements required to make an excellent elected official.These elements could be determined by a panel of

experts, but we suggest contestants should show mastery of such skills as Understanding Budgets, Providing Efficient Public Transit, Keeping Our Streets Safe, Making Housing Affordable For All, and Not Being a Jerk To People Who Disagree WithYou. Then, in the long program, the hopefuls who made it through the first round would be required to demonstrate their ability to pull all those technical ele-

ments together in one appealing, accessible, relatable package – with extra merit points provided in such categories as Pleasant Personality,Work Ethic, Sense of Humour, and Overall Human Beingness.

Only those candidates who are able to demonstrate sufficient mastery of all the skills would then be allowed to ascend to the podium – a.k.a. the council chambers or school board table.

This plan still has a few

details to be worked out (not the least of which are: would candidates be required to wear sparkly spandex outfits, and could Mayor Derek Corrigan nail a twizzle sequence?), but we think it’s got some potential.

Because, frankly, anything that will make this city’s next election more like a competition and less like a coronation has got to be a good thing.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP is playing blacktop politics

For more evidence that the NDP government is very Lower Mainland-centric, look no further than last week’s announcement that it would replace the Pattullo Bridge with a new one built with provincial dollars.

The government is willing to take the bridge off the hands of TransLink and local mayors and pile up about $1.4 billion (the cost of the bridge replacement) in debt. Don’t expect the NDP to be spending that kind of money on highways and bridges outside the Metro Vancouver area any time soon.

The NDP owes its position of power to the fact that in the last election it ran the table in almost all the ridings from Boundary Road to Maple Ridge.

Smack in the middle of that political geography is the Pattullo Bridge.There’s nothing quite like blacktop (or, in this case, bridge connection) politics. It’s a timehonoured tradition for governments to build things in parts of the province that are friendly to them.

The Social Credit government of the 1980s built the Coquihalla Highway, which ran through a number of Socred-friendly ridings in the Interior.The NDP government of the 1990s built the Island Highway, which connects a number of strong NDP ridings, as well as the Millennium SkyTrain extension, which runs through traditional NDP ridings in Burnaby and the Tri-Cities.

The previous B.C. Liberal government, having built

the Port Mann Bridge to serve the politically vitally important area of the Fraser River suburbs, was all set to build a mammoth bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel.That would have served Richmond, Delta and Vancouver, all areas of Liberal strength.

But the new NDP government made it clear it was having none of that, and consigned the Massey crossing to further and perhaps prolonged study.

It’s been thought for some time the number 1 priority for the region’s mayors has been replacing the aging and crumbling Pattullo Bridge, yet the previous government was deaf to their concerns, smug in the knowledge it belonged to TransLink and therefore the mayors would have to figure out a way to pay for it.

The 2013 election result, which shifted the core political power of the B.C. Liberal Party to much of the Interior, helped shape that government’s views on Lower Mainland transportation issues. Essentially, the B.C. Liberals all but ignored them.The 2017 election result, which centred the NDP’s power base in the eastern suburbs and much of Surrey, has likewise had the same impact on that party’s views on transportation issues.

The Pattullo Bridge is surrounded by about a dozen or so ridings held by the NDP, including a few they poached from the B.C. Liberals. So it comes as no surprise this government Continued on page 7

Chairlift fall breaks teen’s back

A 16-year-old Burnaby girl sustained a crushed vertebra, a cracked vertebra and a cracked sternum after falling 11 metres from Blackcomb Mountain’s new high-speed chairlift on NewYear’s Day.The teen slipped off the chairlift shortly after boarding. She was taken to Shaughnessy Hospital’s spinal cord intensive care unit, but she was not paralyzed. Blackcomb officials said they were investigating the incident but maintained the accident had “nothing to do with the mechanical aspects of the chair.”

Opinionnow Why do feds place such Corrigan has to go Dear Editor: Trying to undo the collateral damlow value on safety? age that Mayor Corrigan foists upon Burnaby will Dear Editor: At today’s listed price for heavy oil delivered in Asia, Alberta bitumen would get about $2 more than if it were delivered to the key U.S. hub.

This translates to an additional $450 million per year of revenues.

The federal government has committed $1.2 billion of taxpayers money to spill response so normal economics would indicate that the Kinder Morgan expansion and access to the Asian market could add a net value of about $200 million per year over the next several years.

This is the value that the federal government puts on the safety of the citizens of the Lower Mainland, the Burrard inlet and the B.C. tourist economy. It is less than one-third the cost of the roof on B.C. Place.

The federal government needs to explain to all Canadians why these risks to B.C. are given such little value and why the Kinder Morgan expansion is in Canada’s national interest.

Clearly there must be much more at issue here. The answer lies partly in the new NEB report which says that Alberta production of raw bitumen will grow by an additional 1.5 million barrels per day over the next 12 years.

This bitumen, together with the dilutants it requires, will need another 2.1 million barrels per day of pipeline capacity. That is almost four times the capacity of the Kinder Morgan expansion.

With the Pattullo Bridge riddle now solved, look for the NDP government to ramp up planning for the Broadway subway line and light rail transit lines in Surrey.

Both Vancouver and Surrey are vitally important areas for the NDP, so the government will be eager to court favour in both cities with these megaprojects.

City now Cariboo Hill launches academies Sports, video game development and cyber security among offerings Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If you build it, they will come.

That’s the philosophy behind five new specialized academies launching at Burnaby’s Cariboo Hill Secondary School next fall.

Starting in September, students will be able to focus extra time on high level volleyball, field lacrosse, video game development, cyber security or Microsoft Office certification, all while attending the east Burnaby high school.

“It really gives a great opportunity for the students to combine their passion with the academics,” trustee Larry Hayes, a Cariboo Hill alumnus, told the NOW, “and the bottom line is trying to keep kids interested and engaged in school.”

The district already offers a number of sports academies (hockey, soccer, swimming, softball) and a variety of career programs at other

schools, and Cariboo Hill has plenty of space to host more – a little too much space.

There are 581 students enrolled at the 1,025-seat school this year, putting it at 57 per cent capacity, the lowest it’s been in the last 10 years.

That’s compared to Alpha, Burnaby Central, Burnaby North and Burnaby South, which are all operating above capacity this year.

(Moscrop and Burnaby Mountain are both at 97 per cent, while Byrne Creek is at 86 per cent.)

“Putting these types of programs in, hopefully it’ll really boost the numbers for the school, but, on top of that, more than just the numbers, it’s making more program options available for the kids,” Hayes said.

The academies at Cariboo Hill will be open to students from outside of Cariboo’s catchment as well as to kids from other districts.

In choosing the academies, Hayes said the district picked programs that would be in demand and weren’t already being offered elsewhere.

“If we have kids from New West that might want to come and join our lacrosse academy, that’s great.

All’s fair in love, war and school districts.

The more the merrier, and Cariboo, again, has the space,” he said. “All’s fair in love, war and school districts.”

In the past, Hayes said he’s even suggested launching a curling academy at the school, taking advantage of the nearby Royal City Curling Club facilities in New Westminster.

“Who knows? Down the road, that could be some-

thing,” he said.

While the numbers aren’t in yet, Hayes said the academies launching next September have already attracted a lot of interest.

“Certainly, from what we’ve seen in terms of inquiries and our career program info days and that sort of thing, there’s been lots of people around the Cariboo table inquiring about these programs, both for the sports and the technology programs,” he said.

The district hosts information sessions about the academies at Cariboo Hill tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 21).

Information about the sports academies will be presented at 6 p.m. Information about the tech academies will follow at 7 p.m.

Got an opinion about mobility pricing?

The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) wants the views of its membership on road pricing.

With TransLink’s mobility pricing commission heading into its final consultation stages before issuing its

report, the BBOT is looking for its members to be involved and have a say to ensure the interests of business are heard, said a board news release.

The commission has narrowed its options to charg-

ing vehicles based on distance, direction, location and time of day, and charging at transportation choke points such as bridges.

City now Ecology society studies Burnaby’s urban coyotes Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Coyotes have been a part of MetroVancouver’s ecosystem for more than 80 years, and now a group of conservationists is hoping to learn more about the animals.

The Stanley Park Ecology Society has begun a threemonth study of coyotes, using cameras to capture the animals in urban settings, including Burnaby, according to Greg Hart, the society’s urban wildlife programs coordinator.

“We solicited help from people who frequently see coyotes in their yard,” Hart said.

The goal of the study is to help reduce conflicts between people and coyotes.

Hart hopes that by monitoring coyotes’ activities, they’ll be able to better understand the animals’ movements within the region.

“A camera can pretty innocuously monitor – without disturbing anyone – how frequently a coyote does ac-

tually use their yard. Maybe people think it’s only there once a month, but it’s actually there all the time or vice versa,” he said.

By figuring out how often coyotes frequent certain properties, Hart hopes it’ll give the society a chance to test out humane coyote deterrents.

The details on what deterrents will be tested haven’t been ironed out just yet, but there are a lot available that have been recom-

mended but have not been tested in an urban setting like MetroVancouver, Hart said. Until then, the society will continue to educate residents about how to avoid conflicts with the urban coyotes, he added.

“The best research has shown that removing attractants – things like open compost, garbage, bird feeders – from your yard, are going to be the number 1 tool you can have to keep coyotes away. If they don’t have

If they don’t have a reason to be in your yard, they typically won’t be.

a reason to be in your yard, they typically won’t be,” he said.

The other thing residents

can do to avoid conflicts is to scare away any coyotes they see in their yard.

Also, keeping cats indoors as much as possible and walking dogs on leashes if you’re out early in the morning or late at night, Hart added.

Together, these methods solve 95 per cent of all conflicts between coyotes and people before they happen, Hart said.

While the study has only just begun, the society has already received a lot of in-

terest from residents in Burnaby andVancouver who are keen to have a camera installed in their yard, according to Hart.

He expects they’ll be able to cover about 10 to 12 sites during the study, which focuses on the society’s partner cities – Burnaby,Vancouver and Richmond.

Anyone interested in taking part is asked to contact Hart at coyote@stanley parkecology.ca or 604-6819453.

City now ‘We think it’s time for a change,’ says Green Party’s Keithley Continued from page 1 any candidates.

“We think it’s time for a change. Derek Corrigan’s been in there a really long time, for over 30 years.

Most of the councillors have been in there a really, really long time.We think their best-before date has expired on a lot of them, including the mayor,” said Keithley, 61.

This will be his first civic election attempt. Keithley was a B.C. Green Party provincial candidate for Burn-

aby-Lougheed in 2017 and a Coquitlam-Burke Mountain byelection candidate in 2016. He previously ran for the Greens in the 1996 and 2001 provincial elections.

He was unsuccessful in an attempt to win a provincial NDP nomination in Coquitlam in 2013.

Metrotown housing advocate and school teacher Rick McGowan, accountant Carrie McLaren and IT consultant Valentine Wu will also run for the Green party.

McLaren and McGowan

ran for council in 2011, finishing 17th and 20th respectively. McGowan was the B.C. Green Party candidate in Burnaby-Deer Lake in last year’s provincial election, garnering 12 per cent of the vote. McLaren was the party’s candidate for Burnaby-New Westminster in the 2008 and 2011 federal elections, in addition to provincial election attempts in 2009 (BurnabyEdmonds) and 2013 (Burnaby North).

Wu ran in Burnaby Ed-

monds in 2017 and has also garnered recognition recently as spokesman for the family of Marrisa Shen, a 13-year-old girl whose body was found in Central Park last July.

Keithley said the four candidates have been named because they’ve already been vetted by the party. He said three individuals have expressed interest in running for council and two for the board of education. Although there have been some internal discus-

sions on who would run for mayor, that decision has not been made, he added.

The party, which Keithley said currently has 40 to 50 members, will hold its first public meeting at Lochdale Hall (490 Sperling Ave.) on Wednesday, March 7 at 7 p.m., in an effort to attract new members and a diverse range of candidates.

“We’re trying to change city hall from the existing party because we think we’re open-minded,” said Keithley. “There has to be

a counter opinion. At the very least, we would hope to try and shoo four or five to break the monopoly. Greens have a belief in working with people. It doesn’t matter whether they’re right wing, left wing or in the middle.

“You can’t make everybody happy all of the time, but you have to find ways to accommodate more ideas.

It’s pretty one way or the highway, which is (Corrigan’s) way and has been for a long time.”

Burnaby student works to help the animals Teen starts initiative to raise money for local groups that work with animals and wildlife

Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby Mountain Secondary student has taken it upon himself to grant wishes of local charities that work with animals.

Last fall, 16-year-old Griffin Andersen launched Wishful Thinking.The initiative was inspired by his own family’s volunteerism over the years as well as his own.When he was in elementary school, he took part in a salmon enhancement program, and in middle school, he worked as an ambassador with a Canadian non-profit that gets kids interested in nature.

The idea is to partner with organizations that protect the health and welfare of animals, and fundraise for them.

“I’ve always been passionate about the environment and animals,” Andersen said.

Wishful Thinking’s first wishlist came from a salmon hatchery in Port Moody (Andersen lives in Belcarra).Through word of mouth and a new website, Andersen collected a few hundred

dollars’ worth of tools and some gift cards.

“It went very well,” he told the NOW. It wasn’t too long after he found himself working on a second campaign with the Coquitlam Animal Shelter.

“The success of it came quite quickly,” he said, adding he contacted several pet stores and businesses in the Tri-Cities and had 10 of them agree to put out a donation bin. “I collected quite a bit of dog food and supplies – 400 pounds of animal food.”

More recently, he’s partnered with theWildlife Rescue Association of B.C. in Burnaby. (The first time the Andersen family used its services was for a squirrel they rescued at the roadside on a busy street inVancouver.)

The association’s wishlist includes a host of items: bleach, duct tape, tarps, whiteboard markers and more. Andersen has brought in more than $500 in monetary donations, thanks to a Save-On-Foods fundraiser held last November, as well as lots of supplies, according to Sam Smith,Wildlife Res-

FOR THE ANIMALS: From left to right, Martha Bell, Griffin Andersen and Carla Miller with the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. Andersen dropped off more than $200 worth of building supplies donated by Home Depot, some gift certificates and a $200 cheque. It was all part of Wishful Thinking, a fundraising initiative Andersen launched last fall to help local charities. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED cue’s marketing and communications coordinator.

“The Andersen family are just wonderful, wonderful people.Their support means so much to us,” he said, noting the family even donated a GoPro.

“To have a young man of 16 use his skills to set up a website on behalf of animal charities like us, to not help not just provide a new donation, but to increase our awareness and spread the word about what we do to

more and more people is just above and beyond. It’s really amazing what he’s done.”

Asked where he sees Wishful Thinking one year from now, Andersen isn’t sure. He may continue col-

lecting for the three charities, or he may expand, he said. He encourages folks to check out his website at wishfulthinking.community.

“Any donation is appreciated.They could use the help.”

Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser returns to city Support a good cause this month.

The city will host its second annual Coldest Night of theYear Walk on Saturday, Feb. 24.

The event is a fundraiser for The Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby

and Burnaby Community Services, two non-profits that provide programs for those in need.

Organizers are anticipating more than 250 walkers.

Last year, 28 teams signed up (236 walkers in total), and a whopping $43,190

was raised. (The goal was $32,000.)

“Too many of Burnaby’s vulnerable are homeless and at high health risk,” said Karen O’Shannacery, president of The Society to End Homelessness, in a press release. “This fundraiser will

enable us to continue offering an average of 120 homeless and at-risk people much needed immediate assistance such as food, clothing and transit, all of which is critical as we work toward long-term solutions such as shelter and housing.”

According to the release, 90 per cent of Burnaby’s homeless have one health condition, while 50 per cent have two or more.

The Coldest Night of the Year Walk will start at Marlborough Elementary School (east gym), at 6060 Marl-

borough Ave. Registration will open at 4 p.m., followed by opening ceremonies at 5 p.m., and the walk (2, 5 or 10k options) kicking off at 5:15 p.m.

More steps up to claim provincial berth

A tough semifinal setback serves as motivation in Knights third-place run

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

When the St.Thomas More senior girls basketball team required an eye-opening moment, they got it.

When they needed to respond, they did.

Now, the Knights have achieved one of their biggest goals for the season, and will spend the next week preparing for it.

St.Thomas More locked up a berth to the B.C. senior girls AA provincials on Saturday by knocking off Whistler 61-45 in the battle for third place at the Lower Mainland tournament at STM. It capped a four-game run where each challenge ramped up the intensity, especially after Thursday’s 73-64 setback at the hands of eventual tourney runner-up St.Thomas Aquinas.

Getting a lead and a firm grip on the driver’s seat against Whistler, which they did with a 20-point lead at halftime, was crucial, said STM’s co-coach.

“That was the game to clinch our way into the provincials, and our girls were motivated and came ready to play,” noted Jen Farano.

“Whistler had such an amazing game the night before.They went into overtime against Seycove and won (61-59). ... But I think they might have been tired because they actually played an extra quarter of basketball and it was an emotional win.”

Grade 11 guard Emma Stewart-Barnett set the offensive pace for the Knights with 28 points, while forward Brooklyn Monks contributed 14.

Finishing third in the tourney may be the bigger test for any of the survivors who will head to the Feb. 28 to March 3 provincials. It featured an additional test, a play-in game on the heels of the semifinal, to qualify for the third-fourth contest that was do-or-die to its core.

In the Knights’ contest on Friday, while Whistler was battling Seycove, they fended off a fierce challenge from Little Flower Academy to keep their B.C. hopes afloat. Putting Thursday’s semifinal loss to Aquinas in the rear-view mirror, STM showed a lot of resilience in standing shotfor-shot with the Angels for a 70-64 decision.

“They had to dig their heels in against (Little Flower). Both (co-coach Joe Thierman) and I said how hard it is to come in off a loss and be ready to play, ready to go,” noted Farano. “We told them ‘You have to; either your season is done or you continue playing.’”

Stewart-Barnett counted 25 points, while Shi-

loh Corrales Nelson contributed 21 points.

Stewart-Barnett picked up a first all-star team award, while captain Julia Spagnuolo was chosen

as a second team all-star.

They will spend the week preparing for their next test, Feb. 28 at the AA provincials.

SFU’s Howley, Doherty stride to GNAC titles

Simon Fraser University distance runners Julia Howley and Rowan Doherty delivered individual stellar performances to capture their respective 3,000 metre races at the 2018 GNAC Indoor Track and Field Championships in Nampa, Idaho.

Those wins, combined with a Clan sweep in the distance medley relays and a four-peat by Vlad Tsygankov in the long jump on Friday, gave Simon Fraser five conference titles.

Howley and Reta Dobie, both seniors, locked up the top-two spots in the 3,000m women’s final, with

North, Knights extend B.C. hunt

Howley cruising across the finish line 10 seconds ahead of Dobie, 9:47.83 to 9:57.20.

Doherty, meanwhile, won the men’s 3,000m title in a time of 8:28.48. He was five seconds in front of the second place runner.

The Clan men also won the distance medley relay on Friday with a time of 10:08.40.

The program also took home three second-place finishes. Senior Alana Mussatto ran a personal best to place second in the 800m, and then stepped in to run a crucial final leg of the women’s 4x400 with her final kick.

Mussatto crossed the line 4/100ths of a second behind Central Washington’s 3:50.64.The Clan foursome of Bryce West, Calli Charlton, Renate Bluschke and Mussatto were timed in 3:50.68.

The top three teams, CWU, SFU and Alaska Anchorage were separated by less than one second.

“Alana ran an incredible leg to almost win it,” said Clan head coach Brit Townsend.

Freshman Meyer Quaynor also ran a personal best of 7.76 seconds to finish second in the women’s 60m. Junior Paige Nock came third in the mile in 5:02.84.

The lone setback of the weekend was when Moscow-native Vlad Tsygankov, who won his fourth long jump title with a leap of 23 feet, 11.5 inches on Friday night, was scratched from the 400m final after becoming ill overnight. He was the fastest qualifier in the heats.

“Unfortunately, the flu has hit several of our athletes making it difficult for them to perform at their best,” said Townsend.

The Simon Fraser men’s side placed seventh among the competing schools with 56 points.

On the women’s side, SFU stood sixth with 67 points.

From an underdog’s perspective, the second week of Lower Mainland senior boys basketball action is where bark gives way to bite.

For both the Burnaby North Vikings and the St. Thomas More Knights, its a chance to keep it going.

They are two of the four local teams still battling for a berth to next month’s provincial championships.

The Vikings are among the final eight at the Mainland 4-A tourney, while STM is in the same situation on the 3-A side.

Both would love nothing more than to meet up with fellow Burnaby rivals Burnaby South (4-A) and Byrne Creek (3-A), who play in their respective semifinals tonight (Wednesday).

After losing their opening playoff game (78-71 to Killarney), Burnaby North rebounded with a 79-59 win over Sir Winston Churchill last Friday, getting 28 points from Sungwu Pai and 24 by Justen Chau.

“We needed it; it was do or die,” remarked Vikings coach Chris Dahan. “Both teams were fighting for their lives, but we did well in the second half, passed the ball well and knocked down some big points.”

Now they face David Thompson tonight (8 p.m.) in another must-win test.

A victory would draw them up against the loser of the Burnaby South-St. George’s semifinal (6:15 p.m.) in a must-win game Thursday.

The Knights, meanwhile, staved off elimination last Friday by besting Windermere 69-60, getting 18 points and nine rebounds from Sajjan Shokar.

“We have a very resilient group who’ve gone through a lot of things together,” noted STM coach Michael Cheung.

STM faces Magee today (4:30 p.m.), after Byrne Creek faces Richmond at 2:45 p.m. in the semifinal.

All games are at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

Defence wins the day STM junior girls edge Burnaby South for zone title

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It may have seemed more like a game of chess than basketball, but both the St. Thomas More Knights and Burnaby South Rebels will take last week’s encounter as something to build onto.

The two junior girls hoop squads met in the Lower Mainland championship final on Saturday, with STM pulling out a 23-20 victory.

While not a lot of points were put up, a lot of stellar defence went down as the two Burnaby teams made the most of their first encounter of the year.

“It was a great win against a very good opponent,” remarked STM coach Cassie Lauang. “It was not a pretty game by any means, but we knew their tendencies and they knew ours. It seems we couldn’t finish a layup.”

Although they don’t play in the same league – STM belongs to the Lower Mainland Independent circuit, where they were a perfect 7-0, while Burnaby South were equally as dominant in the BurnabyNew West league – a handful of Knights players are teammates with many of the Rebels through the Burnaby Eagles club program.

That familiarity added another level to the game, which had provincial seeding on the line. Both teams had qualified earlier for the provincials with wins at qualifying tournaments.

“Our goal was to win districts and qualify for provincials, so this was purely for seeding at B.C.s,” South co-coach Steve Glover said.

“I told the team that there wasn’t one shot that lost us that game, but they have to take the fact they held (STM) to 23 points as a big step.”

Tied 8-8 at halftime, the contest saw a few more of-

fensive chances converted in the second half.The Knights’ top shooters – twins Bella and Gigi Gaspar and Kate Stewart-Barnett – had strong efforts on the boards, while TatianaYau worked tirelessly on defence. “(Yau) was a rock for us,” said Lauang. “She didn’t let anything offensively get past her.”

The Rebels grabbed a 1312 lead on the last shot of the third quarter off Zyre Aspiras’ layup, but the Knights answered back.

With about a minute left, Burnaby South got one final scoring opportunity when a turnover put Laini Glover, one of their top offensive players, outside the arc.

With two defenders shadowing her, the Grade 10 faked a shot, then saw her possible game-tying basket

“It was a tough position but (STM’s) defence was right on her,” said the Rebels coach. “It was anybody’s game.”

In the semifinal, STM bestedWindsor 38-23, while Burnaby South topped Argyle 50-36.

The Knights enter the provincials next Wednesday as the No. 3 seed, facing the winner of Charles Hayes and North Surrey. For the sixth-seeded Rebels, the next game is against either Valleyview or Windsor.

Both coaches are eager to see their players embrace another challenge. “(The Lower Mainlands) got them use to playing against tough defences,” said Glover. “You have to live through those games to experience that level, you can’t simulate it in practice.”

FUNERAL SERVICES

THOMPSON , Thora “Amma” Kapitola Amma was our sunshine.

She sang “I was born about ten thousand years ago, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know”.

She was extraordinary, she was a cheeky monkey, we adored her.

She loved to sing, dance, have fun and eat chocolate but every day she made sure she made someone else’s day a little brighter.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Janet, Diane and Karen, her “precious little darlings” Patricia (granddaughter) and Christopher (grandson) and very close cousins, nephews and nieces. Amma was predeceased much too early by her beloved husband Murdo Thompson and son-in-law Doug Webb, and outlived many close friends and relatives including her dear friend and sister-in-law Katie McAskill.

Amma was of proud Icelandic decent and born on December 15, 1924 in Lundar, Manitoba. She often told people she was named after Thor, the God of Thunder. She grew up in Lundar, as a strong prairie woman, and moved to Winnipeg and then Vancouver in 1953 where she met and married Murdo. They made their home in North Burnaby. She spent her last days at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby where she had volunteered for decades and where her name is on wall for her years of service. She had been Burnaby’s Star Volunteer more than once.

Amma resonated selflessness, compassion and kindness with a twinkle in her eye and a heavy dose of mischief. She turned strangers into friends and even when over ninety with a failing memory, reached out to others and was a warm and engaging conversationalist with a great sense of humour.

A Celebration of Life will be held on March 3 at 2 p.m. at First Lutheran Church 5745 Wales, Vancouver.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
