Hurley won – now what can he get done?
In the aftermath of a shocking upset is a council still dominated by one party. Can they really all get along? Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
For a decade, the Burnaby Citizens Association has had a monopoly on power in the city. Three elections in a row, voters elected eight councillors and a mayor from the NDP-affiliated slate to city hall. On Saturday, a small crack opened in the party’s grip on power – independent Mike Hurley toppled Mayor Derek Corrigan, while the Green Party’s Joe Keithley beat out the BCA’s Baljinder Narang for the final council seat. The newcomers were elected on promises to bring change to municipal governance – but with just two of nine votes on council their ability to follow through on their bold promises could be limited. Hurley will likely have an ally in Keithley, the DOA rocker who dropped out of the mayor’s race to endorse him, but getting along with the BCA councillors may prove a tougher challenge, predicts SFU political scientist Paddy Smith. “They’re going to have to work something out,” he said. It won’t serve the BCA councillors – James Wang, Pietro Calendino, Colleen Jordan, Nick Volkow, Paul McDonell, Sav Dhaliwal and Dan Johnston – to fight Hurley on every issue, Smith said. “I think they’re going to have to lick their own wounds and figure out their own take,” he said. “I don’t think it serves them in the long term, meaning four years out, to be nothing but pissed off.” Johnston, who wrote an email two days before the election calling Hurley a “say anything candidate,” acknowledged he would have to work with the new mayor. “I hope we can [get along],” he said on election night. “I think that the fact it looks like a BCA majority, I think our plans are going to continue to go forward. Volkow was also optimistic about the new dynamic on council.

“I think most of us that have been re-elected to council have worked with Mike over the past in his role as the president of the Burnaby Firefighters Association,” he said, adding that Hurley is a fellow “progressive.” Volkow also struck a positive tone about the prospect of working the Keithley on council. “Joey S***head’s on council? Alright! Oh, I can work with Joey,”Volkow said, referring to Keithley’s stage name “I’ve attended many of DOA’s concerts. They’re a fine, fine band. I think it will be a dynamic council.You’ll see a lot of mano a mano when it comes to issues and things like that.”

tions will require BCA support, but Keithley said the councillors who passed the controversial Metrotown Downtown Plan and upzoned many low-rise apartments and paved the way for demolitions will have to come around on the issue. “I think the BCA councillors have got to get around to what Mike has laid out,” he said “It is what it is and we’ve got to work with whoever’s there.” Hurley could not be reached by phone before deadline, but on election night he said he was confident he could work productively with his new colleagues. “I don’t think it will be an issue,” he said. “I’ve worked with
most of people on that slate and I look forward to sitting down and getting to work.” Writing on Facebook, re-elected councillor Jordan said she was disappointed that her “friend/mentor/colleague” Corrigan and the BCA’s Narang both fell short of being elected. “Mayor-elect Hurley and councillor-elect Keithley were elected on platforms to bring change to city hall, but we will all need to work towards finding the balance that the citizens seem to have desired through their choices,” Jordan wrote. “We have a lot of work to do together.” -With files from Cornelia Naylor

Turnout uptick helped Hurley: expert Stories by Kelvin Gawley kgawley@burnabynow.com
An uptick in voter turnout in Burnaby was a significant factor in Mike Hurley’s upset of the longtime incumbent mayor, Derek Corrigan, according to political scientist Paddy Smith. In 2014, 29 per cent of registered voters filled out a ballot.This year, that increased to 33 per cent. It was a modest rise, but it led to a nearly 6,000 vote margin between the political newcomer and the five-time incumbent. Hurley finished the evening with 26,260 votes to Corrigan’s 20,333, according to unofficial results from the City of Burnaby. It was a far cry from 2014, when Corrigan walked to an easy win with 69 per cent of the vote over his closest rival, Darren Hancott, who only received 22 per cent. Hurley ran a well organized campaign that “energized the local election,” Smith said. His emphasis on “coalescing the anti-Corrigan vote” and concentrating on affordable housing likely got many previously apathetic people to the polls, according to Smith. “You don’t need to get a huge extra bump in turnout to affect the outcome,” the SFU professor said.

‘Green wave’ breaks two BCA monopolies Burnaby elected Green Party members to council and school board for the first time on Saturday. The frontman of punk group DOA, Joe Keithley, and children’s lawyer Christine Cunningham will break the Burnaby Citizens Association’s monopoly on power as a councillor and school trustee respectively. When the NOW reached Keithley on election night, he said he was cracking a beer in celebration. “I’m feeling good and I’m really, really happy,” he said. Keithley, frontman of punk band DOA, has run in previous elections, but this is his first victory. He said the Greens’ ascendance in Burnaby is part of a larger surge in support for the party at all levels of Canadian government, pointing to the record three Green B.C. MLAs elected in 2017 and the election of three councillors, three park board commissioners and three school trustees in Vancouver. “It’s not exactly a Green tsunami, but it’s a Green wave,” he said. “I think people realized the Greens have a collaborative approach,” Keithley said. “It’s part of being a Green; you’ve got to work with whoever you can and try to change things.” Keithley also credited his party’s

dogged advocacy on housing affordability and their willingness to commit to a moratorium on demovictions in Metrotown. He said that moratorium will be his top priority, and he looks for-
ward to working with the city’s new mayor, Mike Hurley to make it happen. But he will have to work alongside BCA members, whom he has said put developers over people
during the campaign. “I think the BCA councillors have got to get around to what Mike has laid out,” he said “It is what it is and we’ve got to work with whoever’s there.”

A decade of single-party rule came to an end for the Burnaby school board on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean public meetings will suddenly become contentious affairs, according to incumbent trustees. Since 2008, the Burnaby Citizens Association has entirely dominated the school board. For a decade, the chair has barely paused when declaring motions “moved-opposed-carried.” That monopoly was broken Saturday, however, with the election of Green candidate Christine Cunningham. With 22,024 votes, the retired lawyer was elected to the seven-member board with the sixth most votes, 1,109 ahead of BCA rookie Jen Mezei. But Gary Wong, who was elected to his fourth term Saturday (23,724 votes) doesn’t think having a Green on board will change things all that much. “I think that we’re all pulling for the same thing and that’s what’s best for our students,” he told the NOW. “And, even when there was opposition, my understanding is that there wasn’t a contentious relationship. So, yes, I’m prepared to work with anyone.” Larry Hayes, who got the second most votes (23,780) Saturday and will now serve his sixth term, remembers a time when BCA trustees had to work alongside trustees from other parties (There was one from 2002 to 2005 and two from 2005 to 2008). “What I’ve seen from my 16 years is that everybody wants to see what’s the best for the students,” he said. “Other than a few different

ways of getting there, I’ve certainly seen that everybody has worked together.” And, just because the board has been made up of all BCA members for the past 10 years, doesn’t mean there hasn’t been disagreement, noted Hayes. “We’ve had our differences,” he said. Cunningham, who worked as a children’s property rights lawyer in the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee of British Columbia until two years ago, says she intends to bring “a new voice, a different voice” to school board but isn’t interested in playing partisan politics. “I’m not interested in being destructive and critical,” she said. “I’m interested in being constructive and working well with people and helping our kids.” Even as the board’s lone non-BCA member, she says she’s also not worried about the BCA block keeping her in the dark about important information and decisions – yet.
“I’ll be concerned if causes arise, but I’m not someone who goes looking for problems,” she said. “I go into situations believing that people will deal in good faith and that they’ll have a collaborative spirit.” Cunningham said Hayes called her Sunday to welcome her to the board, and fellow rookie Peter Cech, who beat her by 320 votes Saturday, wrote an email to the same effect. As for why she was elected, Cunningham credits her party. “I think it was not me individually as much, maybe, as the Greens,” she said. “I think the Greens have a recognized message, which is care for the environment and social justice, and a lot of people are moving towards the Greens, I think, because it’s a pretty common-sense point of view.” Rookie trustee Ryan Stewart topped the polls Saturday with 23,879.The other newly elected BCA trustee was Bill Brassington with 23,278 votes.

Election results put BCA in a tricky position
A common refrain from the roughly 70 per cent of registered voters who don’t vote in civic elections is that their vote won’t make a difference in the end result. Ask Mary-Ann Booth if she agrees with that. Booth was elected mayofWestVancouver by just 21 votes. In Coquitlam, the eighth and final council seat was won by just nine votes. So your vote really does matter. In Burnaby, sure, it wasn’t even close. Mike Hurley throttled Derek Corrigan
by 6,000 votes to become the new mayor of Burnaby (we’re still getting used to that sentence). However, Hurley getting his supporters out to vote was crucial. People clearly wanted a change in the top job and they could have sat at home and whined that their vote didn’t matter. Instead, they went out to polling stations and got the result they wanted. Voter turnout rose roughly four percentage points. It’s still an embarrassing overall number, but we’ll
take an increase as a victory for democracy. So now what? Burnaby got a stunning change at the top, but what will really change? That’s up to the Burnaby Citizens Association.They still maintain a stranglehold on council with seven councillors and have the power to set the agenda and reject anything else. But there are two new voices on council.The Burnaby Greens finally broke the monopoly of councillors by electing rock-
er Joe Keithley. (We’re also still getting used to that sentence.) It’s tricky to interpret what Saturday’s results really mean.Voters were clearly saying they wanted some change in direction, while still managing to support the BCA’s stewardship of the city. BCA councillors must feel they have a mandate to continue in the direction they were heading, but should also pay attention to the other message voters were sending them.
In the hours after Corrigan’s historic defeat, many BCA councillors were saying all of the right things about how they were willing to work with Hurley and Keithley. In the months leading up to the election, the BCA did signal they were reversing direction somewhat on the housing issue to find ways to prevent renters from being demovicted. Now that they were mostly re-elected, we hope they will keep those promises. But again, it’s a tricky po-
litical situation.Voters were clearly saying they liked what Hurley was saying, but the BCA will look ahead to four years from now when they will want to elect a mayor from their own party. They’ll want to look collaborative, but also not want to make Hurley look good. It will be tempting to sabotage Hurley and Keithley every step of the way. It could get ugly.We urge the BCA majority to not fall into that trap. Take the high road – for the good of the city.

Hurley could be a power player
The outcome of the municipal elections in Metro Vancouver will undoubtedly have a serious impact on the provincial political scene in a number of instances. NDP MLA Leonard Krog’s successful bid for the Nanaimo mayor’s job creates a hole on the governing bench. His departure leaves the NDP-Green alliance with a reduced majority of just one seat. Look for Premier John Horgan to call a byelection to fill the seat rather quickly. The next confidence vote in the legislature will likely be the vote on the budget next spring and, to be safe, Horgan needs that single vote. Of course, if the B.C. Liberals win that byelection (rather unlikely, given that Nanaimo is one of the safest NDP seats in the province) it would produce a tie in the house, and that in all likelihood would force an early provincial election. Another example? The return of Doug McCallum as Surrey mayor. His vow to scrap the LRT line in Surrey and build a SkyTrain extension may lead to a chaotic situation.The project will cost $1.65 billion, and most of that funding ($1.12 billion) will come from TransLink and regional government. McCallum seems to think TransLink will willingly shift that $1.12 billion to his plan for a SkyTrain extension.There is no guarantee whatsoever of that happening, and the provincial government will be watching with growing alarm. After all, just last month Premier John Horgan and Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau held a joint news conference announcing the LRT project and the Broadway subway line, and now McCallum wants to wreck one of them with nothing to show in return. Meanwhile, the B.C. Green party must like what it saw in the municipal elections, given that civic Greens elected eight of nine candidates on various Vancouver councils and boards, and elected a candidate (exDOA rocker Joe Keithley) to Burnaby council as well. I am not convinced that kind of breakthrough will translate into a stronger provincial presence for the B.C. Greens, but it has to be encouraging nevertheless. In addition, the NDP has to like the fact that labourbacked candidates did well in some communities. Kennedy Stewart, who ran as an independent but is obviously an NDPer, is the new mayor of Vancouver. Ex-BCGEU president Darryl Walker is now the mayor of the supposedly conservative bastion of White Rock. Then there is new Burnaby mayor Mike Hurley, who also had labour backing. A handful of NDP MLAs told me they were just fine with the prospect of a Hurley mayoralty, even it meant knocking off longtime mayor Derek Corrigan, a strong New Democrat himself. I expect Hurley – and new Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West – to emerge as major political voices in the Metro region, and that will be good news for the sitting government in Victoria.

Alarmed about art project
An art installation set up in the heart of SFU’s Burnaby campus caused alarm and sparked a flurry of complaints in March. A realistic mannequin was anchored in the reflecting pond in the middle of the university’s academic quadrangle. Called Student Body, the figure lay on the surface of the pond in a “dead man’s float.” It was the work of a firstyear visual arts student. After a number of complaints, the “body” was first moved to the side of the pond and then back to arts department.

Corrigan showed class with a simple handshake Editor: I was standing beside Mike Hurley at his victory celebration when Derek Corrigan came to congratulate him on his victory and concede defeat. Mr. Corrigan looked crushed and devastated. I imagine it was the hardest thing he has ever had to do, but the point is he did it. Unlike many politicians today, he had the strength of character to congratulate his opponent in person. Mr. Corrigan is a strong, determined person, and, like him or not, he must be respected for the things he has done to make Burnaby a better place to live. Garth Evans, Burnaby
City well-managed under Corrigan’s watch Editor: Under the leadership of Derek Corrigan, Burnaby was given the prestigious award for the best-managed city in all of Canada. The voters for Mr. Hurley have said it is time for a change. I believe they will give Burnaby that change. April Goodman, Burnaby
Two good women elected to the school board Editor: We would like to specifically congratulate Jen Mezei and Christine Cunningham on being
elected school trustees. Three weeks prior to the election, I emailed each school trustee candidate a list of important and specific questions regarding their positions and plans on supporting special needs students in the Burnaby district. Jen and Christine were the only two candidates that took time out of their busy schedules to reply. I belong to an advocacy group of more than six thousand B.C. parents with children with special needs, and we are highly motivated voters yearning to elect candidates that have the best interests of our children in mind. We kept a private list of candidates for endorsement based on past performance and answers to that list of questions we provided. Since only Jen and Christine answered, they were the only two candidates we endorsed for Burnaby. Jen Mezei has always been a strong supporter and advocate for our cause, and Christine has pledged that special needs children are one of her top priorities. We are happy our endorsed candidates in Burnaby were successful, but if you’ll note, they squeaked in. We, as a group, would like to think that a combination of our strength as purpose, and their initiative answering our questions and taking us seriously, pushed them across the finish line. I hope going forward other elected trustees will do more for students with special needs, and that future candidates will take us motivated parents seriously and answer our important question.

City now Hayes ‘regrets’ altercation Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A much publicized runin with anti-SOGI audience members at an all-candidates meeting didn’t appear to hurt longtime Burnaby Citizens Association trustee Larry Hayes at the ballot box. Hayes garnered the second most votes Saturday, even after a video of him barreling through a woman holding a baby was widely circulated on social media and in news stories during the campaign. The altercation happened at Byrne Creek Community School on Oct. 3 after an all-candidates meeting ended in loud chanting from anti-SOGI audience members and yelling matches between candidates and audience members with opposing views on the province’s sexual-orientation and gender identity curriculum. The woman told media Hayes had pushed her while she was trying to ask him a question. Hayes said the woman had blocked the door as he

was trying to leave, and he accused anti-SOGI audience members at the meeting of using “ambush tactics.” “Unfortunately I got caught up into it,” he said. “Emotions were running high. Do I regret that it happened? Of course I do, but I certainly got a lot of feedback from people that saw it for what it was, especially people who know me.”
RCMP were called, and officers took statements from witnesses, but no charges have been laid. After capturing 23,780 votes, Hayes will now serve a sixth term on the board. Anti-SOGI candidates Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and Jimmy Zhao, meanwhile, were denied a spot at the table, landing 15,622 votes and 9,556 votes respectively.

Expect to encounter some of your favourite pirate characters as you stroll the yard. And don’t worry, it’s safe to bring the small ones – it’s designed to be fun, not over-the-top ghoulish or terrifying. The display is an annual fundraiser for St. Stephen Children’s Centre in Uganda, spearheaded by Julie Desroches through the B.C. Society for St. Stephen’s Children’s Centre.The display, along with auction and online fundraisers, has raised more than $12,000 over the past five years.

At Brentwood, kids can trick-or-treat from 4 to 5 p.m., check out an interactive photo display, groove to some live DJ tunes and watch some balloon twisters at work. PUT YOUR IMAGINATION TO WORK If you have a creative, crafty kid, why not swing over to Shadbolt Centre for the Arts for a special seasonal Art on the Spot event? It’s on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tina Ozols from Oona Clothing will be on hand
to guide visitors in making their own original costume, inspired by “myth, magic and the imagination,” as an event write-up says – using recycled fabrics and simple craft items. Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. NO HALLOWEEN TRAIN One final note about a non-event: For those who like to make a stop at Burnaby Central Railway on Halloween night, take note that there is no Halloween train for 2018. It’s cancelled because of construction of the new concession and ticket building at the Confederation Park site. “Stay safe out there, and do come back to visit us again next year when we’ll have Halloween ‘back on track’!” the group’s website says. Got another Halloween event we should know about? Email Julie, jmaclellan@ burnabynow.com.

Business now Saving the planet, one grocery delivery at a time Cayley Dobie
cdobie@burnabynow.com
If you had the blueprints to a more sustainable grocery-delivery business, would you share them with another business? That’s exactly what the CEO of SPUD has done in hopes of encouraging other businesses to make changes that’ll benefit the planet. Peter van Stolk and the team at SPUD rolled out their newest venture, FoodX, in September. It’s a 74,000-square-foot facility, located on Trapp Avenue in South Burnaby, where groceries are packaged and shipped by truck to customers. Burnaby was chosen because of its central location, while the location itself was because of its proximity to a number of SPUD retailers. But van Stolk’s goal isn’t to just fill the facility with SPUD products; he wants other companies to join him at Food-X.The idea is to create a hub where retailers and vendors coexist to create a more sustainable shipping model, according to van Stolk. He describes it as “carpooling for your groceries.” Instead of storing products in facilities all over the city or sending half-empty trucks around the Lower Mainland delivering groceries, Food-X provides its clients access to storage space and shared trucks so that only full trucks are travelling through the region. AndWalmart Canada was the first grocer to sign up. Walmart is committed to reducing its food waste over the next few years with the ultimate goal to have reduced it to zero by 2025. “We know we can’t just do that on our own, we know we need partners to do that,” said Daryl Porter, vice-president, omni-channel operations and online grocery atWalmart Canada. SPUD, or Sustainable Produce Urban Delivery,
was founded in 1997 with the intention of delivering customers fresh, local, organic produce and groceries. Since then, it has reduced its food waste to less than one per cent. “Our strategic collaboration with Food-X supports our belief that environmental and business sustainability go hand-in-hand. … Food-X is a leader in sustainability inVancouver, and we are proud to partner with a like-minded, environmentally-conscious operation,” Porter said. SPUD andWalmart are already using the facility, and van Stolk hopes other companies will join them. The facility will serve SPUD clients from Pemberton to Hope along with Walmart home-delivery cli-

ents in the Lower Mainland. SPUD will continue to partner with local farmers and vendors to provide customers with organic products with an emphasis on fresh items, van Stolk said. “It will impact them more, in a positive way,” he said. SPUD’s clients will be able to provide larger quantities at a time, reducing the number of trips to and from the shipping facility.The new Food-X facility will also allow them to expand what they offer on SPUD’s web store, he added. “I have to balance what is the objective – the objective is a sustainable food ecosystem and we truly believe that a sustainable food ecosystem is local.That’s what I’m 100 per cent about: local, sustainable, seasonal. So this facility allows me to introduce more players to it.”

The next item on the democracy calendar is already here. B.C.’s referendum on electoral reform kicked off on Monday, Oct. 22.You can expect your ballot in the
mail any day and you will have until Nov. 30 to fill it in and send it back. But what exactly is being asked? What is proportional representation? what are the three different types being proposed? And how could this all change our democracy? An event organized by Fair Vote Canada (a propor-
tional representation advocacy group) will try to clear up some of those questions this Thursday. Max Cameron, a UBC political science professor and an expert in democratic theory, will give a presentation from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Bob Prittie Metrotown branch of the Burnaby Public Library. It’s free.

Clan on hot streak
SFU men clinch conference title For a third straight season, the Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team are kings of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Certainly it’s been true of games played at Terry Fox Field for the past four years, improving to 30-0-4 over that span. The squad locked up its third GNAC championship on Saturday, blanking St. Martin’s University 3-0. Ranked No. 1 in NCAA Div. 2, the Clan applied plenty of pressure in its pursuit of their 14th victory of the season (8-0 in conference play). Mamadi Camara opened the scoring with his eighth of the season, burying a cross from Cariboo Hill alum Rahid Raheim in the 13-minute mark. It was followed a minute later by Matteo Polisi’s 30-yard blast that caught the St. Martin’s keeper by surprise. Polisi, who leads the GNAC in scoring, upped his total with his second of the day just five minutes later, capitalizing on a chance inside the box to complete the offence. It was the 17th goal of the season for the sophomore. “I thought our first 30 minutes were very good,” remarked SFU coach Clint Schneider. “Our first goal and the pattern of movement was exactly what we’ve been working on.” At the other end of the pitch, Burnaby native Luciano Trasolini locked up his 10th shutout of the season, stopping the lone shot he faced. He entered the week tied for second in the NCAA Div. 2 for shutouts. As well as third straight GNAC title, it was the team’s seventh in nine years since migrating to the NCAA league. SFU, which leads the NCAA with a 3.71 goalsper-game average with 52 so far this season, will wind down the regular season with a pair of home matches, including Thursday, 7 p.m. against Seattle Pacific. Their final game before the conference playoffs goes Oct. 27, 7 p.m. against Northwest Nazarene.

Opportunity knocks for charging Knights
Burnaby team takes advantage of fourth quarter penalty, turnover to defeat No. 2-ranked Fox Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
That proverbial window of opportunity popped open not once but twice for the St.Thomas More Knights last Friday. To no one’s surprise, the squad leaped through it twice and emerged with a warm, fuzzy winning feeling. The Knights upset the No. 2ranked Terry Fox Ravens 28-21 at Burnaby Lake, converting two miscues in the fourth quarter and turning around a game that had its share of momentum shifts. A Fox personal foul penalty in the fourth quarter that kept STM’s game-tying drive alive, and a blocked punt just minutes later, added up to an exciting come-frombehind win for the 4-1 Knights. Instead of facing a third-and-10 at the Fox 20, the penalty put STM at first-and-goal on the 10-yard line, resulting in quarterback Dario Ciccone’s two-yard TD run with 8:14 to play to tie it.Then barely two minutes later another Fox miscue got them in good field position for the decisive score. The Knights defence halted the visitors at their own 35, with lineman Daniel Auld blocking the ensuing punt and recovering it at Fox’s 15-yard line.
A couple of plays later Ciccone hit Rickey Parsons on a seven-yard game-winning pass with 5:23 remaining to hand Fox just its second loss of the regular season. “I hate to say it but the scary thing is I think we can be better,” remarked STM head coach Steve De Lazzari. “There were some mistakes made here and there, but (Fox) is a heckuva football team, and we battled them for four quarters.We never quit, even when they came back and got that (third quarter) touchdown to take the lead.” Yes, it was a see-saw battle that began on the opening kickoff and didn’t ease up until the contest’s final few seconds. “We knew we had to step up to win this one. Our defence got us in position to win.We’re still without our best player (lineman Sam Steele), and when he comes back we feel we’ll be ready for anything,” said Ciccone, who finished the game 18 of 26 pass attempts for 297 yards, while scampering for 90 yards on nine runs and two majors. The Ravens took an early lead when Cade Cote took the first play from scrimmage and ran 50 yards into the end zone. The Knights, who entered the week as the No. 4-ranked AAA team in B.C., tied it 7-7 on their first possession, with Ciccone keep-
ing it on a three-yard play.They would take their first lead after a strong defensive stand forced Fox to punt from their own 10-yard line, giving the hosts the ball with 42 yards to cover before halftime. Ciccone didn’t need all that time, hitting Parsons with a 20-yard pass with 2:55 on the clock. The STM defence had one more big play before the halftime, blocking a 20-yard field goal attempt with time running down to keep it 14-7 for the Knights. The Ravens responded in the second half with a forceful rally, first tying the game when Cote converted a four-and-one attempt on a 15yard TD dash, then took the lead after Key’Shaun Dorsey intercepted a tipped Ciccone pass at Fox’s 40yard line.The Ravens’ Liam Cumarasamy drove downtown on a 40yard gain to set up Cote’s two-yard TD run with 1:24 to play in the third quarter. “(STM)’s a good team, but we had too many errors, costly errors,” remarked Fox’s co-coach Martin McDonnell. “We came back (in the third quarter) but there was a bit of fatigue I think with some of our two-way players. It was a pretty good game, though.” Parsons finished with 70 yards receiving on seven catches, including two majors. Michael Simone, who
racked up 212 yards on nine catches, credited the STM pivot for his resilience and staying on note when an aggressive Ravens defence tried to rattle him. “As you can tell, (Ciccone’s) the toughest kid out there. He took a bunch of big hits and stood in there, then got me the ball for the play,” said Simone. Kicker Christian Commuzzi enjoyed a standout night, nailing all four convert kicks as well as executing a successful onside kick. Jack Wagner and Auld led the defence with seven tackles each, while Colin Dalla Vecchia picked up six. Kaishaun Carter added five of his own. The Knights now head to Kamloops where they face the 1-4 Owls on Friday.They wrap up the regular season Nov. 2 against Mission, which will serve as a tune-up for the opening playoff test the following week. The squad is hoping to have Steele, the 2017 defensive MVP, back in uniform within a week, having missed him the past month due to injury. His addition will be considered a major coupe for a team trending in the right direction. “(Steele’s) such an important part of this team and he’s the engine that makes this team run.We’ve really missed him and he’s an impact player,” said De Lazzari.

Sports now Burnaby duo win titles
Leo Harper and Bradley Gagnon picked great times to post some of their better rounds of the golf season. The two Burnaby golfers rode hot clubs to the top of their respective divisions at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Fall Series event in Richmond last week. Harper, 16, registered top scores on both days en route to capture the juvenile boys’ Hoselton Trophy. He followed an opening round of 1-over par 72 with a 74 on the second day to beat Burnaby’s Andy Luo and West Van’s Alexander LePoidevin by six strokes. On the first day, Harper logged an even-par 35 on the front nine, and fired one bogey on the 11th hole to finish 1-over and a two-shot lead over LePoidevin.The Burnaby native’s second round included two birdies and five bogies. “I feel like I earned it. I played well both days, despite some muddy lies I had,” Harper said in a Maple Leaf press release. Luo, meanwhile, fired

identical rounds of 76, including three birdies on the final day. In the junior boys division, Gagnon was red-hot on the first day with an even-par 71, including three birdies. He stood seven strokes ahead of fellow Burnaby golfer Daniel Taddei after 18 holes. It was a different story the second day, when Gagnon struggled and posted a 10over 81. Despite the tough round, the 18-year-old won with a five-shot lead over Langley’s Kurtis Trowell. Taddei finished fifth with a score of 167 (78, 89).
Denby Carswell, meanwhile, put up a solid second day to end up in a tie for third place in the bantam boys division.The 14-yearold golfer posted 162 (84, 78), 12 shots back of Langley’s Danny Im. On the girls side, 11-yearold Luna Lu of Burnaby shot 162 (82, 80) to finish seventh in the under-15 division, seven strokes back of the trio of Emily Zhang, Elise Liu and Jessica Ng, who tied for the two-day lead at 155. Zhang won in a one-hole playoff. Shelley Li, 12, placed 10th with a score of 173 (90, 83).

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT
Greens strike deal with NDP on speculation tax changes The B.C. Green Party, which has been vocally opposed to the NDP’s speculation and vacancy tax, has reluctantly agreed to support the legislation – but only after three changes are made, the parties announced October 18. The Ministry of Finance said it will support the Greens’ three amendments “in the spirit of compromise” – even though the finance minister only agrees with two of them. The key change to the legislation is the third amendment, which requires that out-ofprovince Canadians who own B.C. homes in the affected areas pay the same 0.5 per cent rate as B.C.-resident owners, not the one per cent set out in the previous version of the legislation. Andrew Weaver, B.C. Green Party leader, said, “[A] key concern of mine was that Canadians should be treated equally. We are one country and even if they don’t pay income tax in B.C., Canadians pay federal
taxes that benefit our communities. The third amendment was an area of compromise and I am pleased that it will lessen the impact for Canadian homeowners, while keeping other critical provisions of the bill intact.” The first two changes, which the NDP said it agreed with, are: • an annual review between the Ministry of Finance and the mayors in the affected municipalities to see how the tax has affected their regions; and • all revenues from the tax to be spent on affordable housing projects in the affected regions: Nanaimo-Lantzville, the Capital Regional District, Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Kelowna-West Kelowna. “While we strongly support the intent of the first two amendments, we are of the view that the third amendment lessens protections against out-of-province speculative investment,” said finance minister Carol James. “But in the spirit of compromise, we
will support this amendment.” Weaver said, “While this is still not the approach I would have taken, these amendments will improve the bill and will mitigate many of the key issues I have identified. My amendments to include local governments in an annual meeting to review the tax, and to dedicate any funds raised from this tax to affordable housing in their communities, strike a far better balance.” The newly renamed speculation and vacancy tax still has to pass legislation, but is likely a done deal now that it has the Green Party’s backing. All homeowners in the affected areas will have to complete a form to declare their property’s use, whether as a primary residence, a rental home or an empty home. Canadian income-tax payers who own an unoccupied second or investment home, as of December 31 of each tax year, will have to pay 0.5 per cent of its assessed value per
