Tainted meat sold Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Beef sold at two Halal meat markets in Burnaby is part of a B.C. recall because it may be tainted with E. coli.

Retailers are recalling lean ground beef sold at Al-Safa Halal Meat at 6953 Kingsway between Sept. 3 and Sept. 5, and beef trimming and stew meat sold at Madina Halal Meat Market at 7411 Edmonds St. between Sept. 3 and 10.

The meat from Al-Safa has UPC codes beginning with 0200022, while the meat from Madina is not labeled.

The recall stems from Establishment 362 Pitt Meadows Meat Packers. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced the recall on the meat, which may be tainted with E. coli O157:H7, on Tuesday.

Other shops affected by the recall include Bengal Meat Limited and Shaista’s Halal in Surrey, and Yaas Bazaar Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Food in North Vancouver.

Ground lamb is included in the recall at Yaas Bazaar.

The dates the affected meat were sold at the other stores range from Sept. 3 to Sept. 13.

Halal meat is prepared in accordance with Islamic dietary guidelines.

There haven’t been any reported illnesses associated with eating the meat.

Food contaminated with E. coli might not look or smell spoiled.

Consumption of food contaminated with the bacteria can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses.

Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Some people may have seizures or strokes

No more taxes: Mayor says Derek Corrigan says latest TransLink supplemental plan isn’t fooling anybody Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The possibilities listed in TransLink’s supplemental plan for funding major transit projects come down to property tax increases, Burnaby’s Mayor Derek Corrigan said.

“I think it’s the latest version of their ongoing soap opera,” he said in a phone interview. “They want us to pay for transit improvements with property taxes.”

The supplemental plan does state that

Meat Page 3

TransLink is able to cover the funding for major projects in 2011 after budget shifts, but the municipalities would have to agree to the possibility of property tax increases in 2012 if another source of funding doesn’t become available.

“I don’t think anybody’s fooled,” Corrigan said, adding the municipalities can’t rely on wishful thinking that the funding will show up from elsewhere.

It is clear that the province hasn’t come up with alternative ideas for funding the projects in TransLink’s Moving Forward Plan, including the Evergreen Line, he said.

But the mayors on Metro Vancouver’s Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation have consistently said they won’t increase

property taxes for the projects, Corrigan added.

“It is clear the mayors won’t go to property taxes.”

The Mayors’ Council will most likely reject the supplemental plan at its meeting in December, Corrigan said.

A vehicle levy, or Transportation Improvement Fee, was ruled out as an option because it would take too much time to examine the option and implement it properly.

But the letter did acknowledge that it could be a potential source of funding in the future, with more research.

The Evergreen Line project has stalled as TransLink Page 8

Pashminas for a friend Cancer claimed Anita Cochrane’s life, but not before she made an impact Jennifer Moreau

CRIME

Suspects are sought in stabbing

staff reporter

Alfie Lau Local Realtor Rhonda Gebara is raising money for cancer research by selling pink pashminas. Gebara’s efforts are in memory of Anita Cochrane, a Burnaby woman and active member of the Royal City Curling Club, who died from cancer on Oct. 5. She was just 39.

An avid curler, Cochrane was on the B.C. team in the national mixed curling championships in 2008, and she was named most sportsmanlike player.

When Cochrane was no longer able to curl, she took up coaching and was named B.C. Curling Coach of the Year in 2010.

Gebara was looking for a charity to support, and when she met Cochrane a couple of years ago, she was impressed by her energy and will to live.

“My experience was that (I) didn’t really feel the cancer agency and cancer research was making any significant headway with all the money they were getting,” Gebara said. But meeting Cochrane changed that misconception, she added. “I learned … they are making huge progress, and people need to know that.”

Gebara came up with the idea to sell pastel pink pashminas to raise awareness and money for cancer research while Cochrane was still alive.

In a note supporting the fundraiser, Cochrane thanks people for buying the pashminas to support breast cancer research.

“I spend a lot of time fundraising because I know that is what it will take to save my life. Even if it doesn’t save me, it will at least help me live longer with a higher quality of life,” Cochrane wrote.

The pashminas cost $25, and $20 of that goes to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Contact Gebara at rhondagebara@ remax.net or at 604-298-1600 to buy a pashmina. For more on the fundraiser, visit Gebara’s website at www.rhond agebara.com and click on charity.

A 21-year-old man is in custody and Burnaby RCMP are looking for two other suspects after an early morning home invasion and stabbing in the Metrotown area on Nov. 8.

According to Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Ted De Jager, the incident occurred just after midnight on Monday in the 4200 block of Maywood Street.

“Three suspects entered the victim’s home and confronted him in a targeted attack,” said De Jager in a press release.

“The victim was stabbed several times before the suspects fled. The victim managed to call for assistance and was transported to a regional hospital where he remains in stable but serious condition.”

When Burnaby RCMP members attended to the scene, they quickly located one suspect, a 21-year-old man, and arrested him. The police are still looking for the other two suspects, but currently they do not believe the duo pose a risk to the public.

The police are also looking for the knife that was used in the attack.

The police are looking for a black handled, fixed blade knife that would commonly be placed in a sheath.

De Jager said anybody who locates the knife is advised not to handle it and call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 instead.

NOTES FROM CITY HALL Final funding OK’d for new school Burnaby council voted to bring down a bylaw for a final payment of $784,000 to go towards a community component of an elementary school on Burnaby Mountain on Oct. 25.

The $1.4 million University Highlands Elementary School was covered by $700,000 from the annual capital budget, and $784,000 (inclusive of HST) approved from capital reserves at this week’s council meeting.

The school opened this fall with 170 children.

Enrolment is expected to grow to more than 300 students within the next few years, according to a planning department report.

Being close to UniverCity, and isolated from the city’s recreation centres, residents asked for a community centre to be added to the school, as happened with Forest Grove Elementary.

The gym is slated to be upgraded to an adult-sized facility, with programs for community sports groups, and will include a stage.

A dance studio, which was part of Simon Fraser University, is being updated as a multi-use space with a sprung wood floor for fitness, dance and martial arts.

A multi-purpose community room is set to be used for preschool programs during the day.

Don’t confuse criticism with anti-Semitism There’s a lot of bizarre hype surthat “while accusations of blood libel rounding the Canadian Parliamentary are still being made against the Jewish Coalition to Combat Antisemitism, people, instead they are being directed especially considering this ad-hoc against the State of Israel, such that group of MPs has yet to release a report anti-Zionism is being used as a cover to government.

OUR VIEW

is trying to pressure the government to criminalize criticism of Israel as hate speech.

But even if this were true, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association has pointed out that it would be difficult for the Conservatives to pull off, considering freedom of political speech is highly protected by the charter. Canadians enjoy the right to criticize other nation states. And last we checked, Israel was a nation state subject to international humanitarian law – like everyone else

– and it’s subject to criticism for violating international humanitarian law, like everyone else. Conflating criticism of Israel with attacks on Jewish people does nothing but spread a chilling effect through legitimate public debate on the issue.

But if people are left scared to speak out next time Israel bombs civilians, for fear of being labelled anti-Semitic, then the rhetoric has served its purpose, and there’s no need to violate the charter because we’ll be censoring ourselves.

reached a record $8.3 billion for the same year, an increase of 18 per cent from 2008.

A significant portion of their profits are borne on the backs of students.

On Wednesday, students, teaching assistants, university support staff and faculty will be unveiling the SFU “Wall of Debt” to bring attention to spiralling tuition fees and debt amassed by students in their pursuit of a post secondary education.

Unlike a lot of stuff we spend money on, higher education is a worthwhile goal for all British Columbians.

It should be accessible to those who value it regardless of income, and should not leave less-wealthy students with an onerous financial burden.

The banks could show a little more social responsibility than they do by working with provincial and federal governments to develop a more affordable student loan program and to tell governments that upcoming budgets need to adequately fund public education to reduce tuition fees and protect students from indebtedness upon entering adulthood.

Sorry to see Campbell go Dear Editor:

Re: Campbell steps down as premier, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 3 The world will be different now that Gordon Campbell has announced his resignation. In 1993, I told Gordon he had my 110 per cent support, and I have not wavered. I will be very sorry to see him go.

Just compare where we were in 2001 and where we are now. In 2001 B.C. was a have-not province receiving equalization payments and was pervaded by a feeling of pessimism. As soon as Gordon

took over things began to change, people began to have confidence and optimism again. Now, in spite of a world recession our province is prosperous and moving ahead again.

He was likely right to resign now given how unpopular he has become as a result of the HST but that doesn’t change my opinion. I will miss his sure and decisive grasp of the levers of power and will wait with some trepidation to see what comes next.

Garth Evans, Burnaby

B.C. should take green lessons from Australia Dear Editor:

I just arrived home from a six-week trip to Australia (to attend the wedding of a niece and visit my brother and his family, including nieces and grandnieces), where I was inspired by the number of eco-friendly projects I saw across the country.

Australia has a very imaginative population.

In addition to windmills powering farmland irrigation and solar panels on rooftops and road signs, people in the Outback use “grey water” (recycled water from laundry, dish washing, and bathing) for just about everything.

Even their drinking water supply is supplemented from rain water storage tanks.

If that is what the flattest continent in the world is doing with its water to help keep the planet healthy, just imagine what B.C. – with its rainy climate, mountains, lakes, rivers and waterfalls – could do!

Our eco-friendly water options, especially when it comes to improvements to our hydro dams system and building runof-river hydro power, are way better than Australia’s.

B.C. could set a great example for future generations around the world to follow.

Trudy Gordon, Burnaby

Premier: How will he be remembered? continued from page 6

created them or not. Both claimed their left-wing opponents would destroy the province, but expanded the government’s sphere when it seemed practical.

But Campbell strikes me less as a Bennett, Macdonald, or Trudeau figure, and more of a Jean Chretien.

Like Chretien, he came to power on a wave of hatred for the other guy (Campbell should send an annual bouquet to Glen Clark in thanks).

Like Chretien, he used his political capital to savagely attack the government’s books and eliminate the deficit.

Once that was under control, he could be a benevolent leader, as the good times rolled and he could hand out new bridges and clinics.

We’ve definitely had worse premiers in living memory. Glen Clark almost destroyed his party, Mulroney-style. Bill Vander Zalm was actually hated by a good many people before he became

premier, and things just got worse from there. Bill Bennett’s restraint programs almost provoked a general strike.

I suspect history will remember Gordon Campbell more fondly than the current public rage suggests. It will take some time to sort out how bad or good his policies were.

But will he be placed among the greats of B.C. leaders? I doubt it.

TransLink: Mayor objects to more tax continued from page 1

the province tries to nail down funding for it.

The federal government has agreed to contribute $417 million, the provincial government says it will contribute $410 million, project partners would contribute $173 million and TransLink was slated to contribute $400 million.

The project is expected to cost $1.4 billion, according to the ministry of transportation and infrastructure.

However, TransLink’s budget only allows for maintaining the current system at this time, not for major projects.

And the federal government’s commitment requires the funding be applied to the project by 2016.

TransLink launched a public consultation on a twooption plan this fall and has provided its findings – after the findings were approved by the board – in a letter to the chair of the Mayors’ Council, Peter Fassbender, Langley’s mayor.

If additional funding is not found, municipalities would have to increase property taxes, a move detailed in the backgrounder which accompanied the letter. “Tax on residential properties would increase $8.91 per $100,000 of Derek Corrigan assessed value for an average houseBurnaby mayor hold total of approximately $61.65 per year, while tax on commercial properties would increase between $43.2 and $59.5 per $100,000 of assessed value, depending on building classification,� the Moving Forward supplemental backgrounder stated.

The funding would cover the Evergreen Line, the King George Boulevard B-Line, Highway 1 rapid transit, bus service from Langley to White Rock, and other transit and road improvements.

The Evergreen Line would run from Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre, with stops in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Port Moody.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2011, with completion by the end of 2014.

When asked if TransLink thought the Mayors’ Council would approve the plan, TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie said it was up to the political leaders to make that decision. “That’s not really a question I can answer,� he said.

He pointed out there are three options in front of the mayors: approve one of the two funding options presented in the letter or reject the plan.

In addition to the Moving Forward option, there is a scaled-back version that would just include the Evergreen Line and the North Fraser Perimeter Road corridor from the Queensborough Bridge in New Westminster.

If the mayors do not approve either of the options, Hardie said, TransLink would continue to maintain service at current levels.

Doggy daycare owner still worried Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

A zoning bylaw affecting kennels in the city is one step closer to being amended after Burnaby council approved a community development report.

The report recommends kennels be allowed in M1, M2 and M3 industrial districts in Burnaby. Right now, only A1 agricultural and A2 small holdings districts are zoned for kennels.

Currently there aren’t any private kennels licensed in the city, however; the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society, the Burnaby SPCA and the Burnaby RCMP all have Burnaby-based kennels attached to their organizations.

The request to allow the boarding of dogs in Burnaby’s industrial zones came from Tony Haller, vice-president of Woof Dog Lounge and Spa Inc., when he spoke

at a June 28 council meeting.

What wasn’t wholly addressed was a request from Kathleen Dickie, owner of Canine Corner Doggy Day Care, for outdoor areas for dog daycares, so her charges could relieve themselves. Dickie spoke to council about the issue at an Aug. 30 council meeting.

The report supporting the amendments was presented by Coun. Colleen Jordan, and a motion to adopt the report was carried unanimously by council.

“The report is based on best practices that our staff have come up with, based on other cities,” said Jordan, who added it would bring Burnaby’s bylaws in line with neighbouring municipalities.

She mentioned some people would not be happy with the changes but said that issues with the amendments could be addressed at a public hearing.

Dogs: Daycare owner says city changes don’t solve problems continued from page 11

Top of the world: Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, also known as ‘Uncle,’ led a healing circle, which was broadcast live from BCIT in Burnaby.

Melting ice in the heart of man Kalaallit elder ‘Uncle’ leads a live healing circle from BCIT’s broadcast studio Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

With the smell of sage and sweetgrass burning in the air, about 50 people gathered in BCIT’s Studio 1 to watch a live healing cicrle on Oct. 27, led by Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, also known as “Uncle.”

The circle was open to BCIT students, staff, community elders and the public. The circle was also broadcast live, and people from as far away as New Mexico tuned in the hear Uncle’s words of wisdom.

Under the studio lights and in front of cameras, Uncle addressed a small circle of people seated around him and the larger audience behind them.

“I come from the land on top of the world,” he said. The Eskimo-Kalaallit elder has travelled to more than 50 countries, speaking on indigenous rights, climate change and spirituality. He brought up concerns about melting ice in Greenland, which segued into his main goal, which is to melt the ice in people’s hearts, a directive he picked up from his mother.

“Only by melting the ice in the heart of the man will he begin to change and use his knowledge wisely,” Uncle said, recalling his mother’s words.

As part of the circle, Uncle pulled out a wide, thin drum, which he held close to his ear as he sang and leaned in close to members of the circle. His voice swung

from strong and loud, to soft and low as he moved around the circle.

He told stories – some traditional, some anecdotal, but most with a touch of humour.

Joanne Stone-Campbell is BCIT’s coordinator of aboriginal services. She also sat in the healing circle.

“It almost felt like he was holding your heart and cradling it. You felt a sense of peace, and you were able to breathe again,”

she said. “It was unexplainable, really.”

Stone-Campbell had the idea to bring Uncle in for a small circle, then broadcasting student Robert Pictou volunteered to organize a bigger circle and televise it. “(Pictou’s) passion is to interview the elders and record it so future children will be able to hear the teachings,” StoneCampbell said. “Our culture and history, and what we have to share, is a new teaching tool.”

Her story takes a

In her acceptance speech for a YWCA Women of Distinction award in 2006, Ann said she could hardly believe it.

“I know what it’s like to eat from garbage. I know

what it’s like to be homeless.

I know what it’s like to grow up unloved and unwanted. … I am not my past. I am what I am today and what I will be tomorrow.

and determination to change.

Fast-paced hilarity onstage ARTS SCENE Annie Boulanger

T

eachers – don’t ever underestimate your influence.

Over 30 years ago, in Grade 12, Burnaby Central drama teacher Sarah Warren gave actor David Marr the encouragement he needed to help start a successful career in theatre.

Marr grew up in Burnaby, going to Edmonds and Burnaby Central schools. He’s now part of a whirlwind duo in the Arts Club Theatre’s hilarious production of The 39 Steps, on now at the Stanley Theatre.

It’s a non-stop physical and verbal comedy, full of quick changes and roughhousing that Marr likens to hockey – putting on your knee and elbow pads backstage, running out to do a few minutes, then backstage again for another quick change.

“When I went to the first rehearsal, I didn’t really know what I was getting into,” he remembers.

At one point, he morphs from a German spy in a hat and raincoat to a Scottish Highland landlady in mobcap and nightgown, with just a split-second duck behind a counter.

“Our director, Dean Gibson, said he didn’t really know how some of the moves in the play were done, until he figured it out. For me it’s sort of like playing the piano: your two hands are doing something different, but by doing it over and over, you get faster and faster,” Marr says.

“In one scene, the two of us are playing four people, and between the costume changes, and switching back and forth from English to a broad Highland dialect. It’s a real challenge.”

But not beyond Marr’s versatility. This play is a big change from the Shakespearean roles in Henry V and Falstaff that Marr did this summer at Bard on the Beach, where he is now a 15-year veteran.

In one sword-fight scene in Henry V, he injured his knee, which made the role in The 39 Steps even trickier.

“But it’s fine now,” says Marr – surprisingly, considering some of the acrobatics he has to do in this new play.

Marr has appeared in a host of successful plays at the Arts Club and at the Playhouse .

He credits the support of his family, who were supportive in his choice of career and didn’t dissuade him from his ambition to be an actor.

His advice to young aspiring actors: “It’s often going to be difficult, so you need to keep reminding

Health-care tales: Director Jennifer Little, far left, talks to Yvette Lu about the next scene during filming of an Untold Stories of the ER episode, with Nathan Cheung and Raymond Ho (on the right).

Photo contribued/ burnaby now

Actor on screen this week A Burnaby actor is featured in two upcoming episodes of Untold Stories of the ER. Untold Stories is a docudrama television series that airs on The Learning Channel (TLC).

The show, now in its fifth season, follows unusual medical cases and is based loosely on actual events.

It was filmed this past fall in the Lower Mainland.

Airing on Nov. 17 and 24 will be two episodes featuring Yvette Lu, a Burnaby actor, filmmaker and medical doctor.

“Ironically, I don’t play the doctor!” she said in an e-mail.

Instead, she portrays Chinesespeaking immigrants who are struggling to deal with the health-care system.

It’s something Lu herself is very familiar with – from the other side.

“As a doctor, I’ve encountered many patients who speak little or no English. There have been so many times when I’ve seen a Chinesespeaking person’s face light up when I introduce myself in their native language,” she said in a press release. “Being in the hospital is a frightening experience already without the added problem of a language barrier. It’s important that film and

television reflect our cultural diversity, and I’m glad that producer Bob Niemack and director Jennifer Little were able to include these stories.”

The episode on Nov. 17 also features another Burnaby resident – Nathan Cheung, who’ll play Lu’s son. Nathan is a Grade 8 student at Burnaby Mountain Secondary School and a member of the Burnaby Minors All Star baseball team.

The Untold Stories episodes are set to air on TLC on Wednesday, Nov. 17 and Wednesday, Nov. 24 at 9 p.m. and 11 p.m.

For more about Lu, check out her website at yvettelu.com.

Music helps in polio fight Music lovers may also want to check out another “music for a good cause” event tonight.

The Rotaract Club of Burnaby and Rotaract District 5040 are hosting a concert to raise money to help in the Rotary Foundation’s efforts to eradicate polio in the world.

The Strings for Polio concert, featuring the music of the Stradivari Ensemble, is on at 7 p.m. tonight (Saturday) in the Koerner Recital Hall at the Vancouver Academy of Music. Tickets are $35, or $20 for students, and refreshments are included.

There will also be a screening of a short documentary about polio.

Mystery authors featured at Spoken Ink night

Dark drama Provocative.

Dark.

Brooding. Contemplative.

All of those adjectives are being used to describe The Rimers of Eldritch, the Douglas College production that opened Nov. 12 and runs to Nov. 20.

But director John Cooper also promises humour and theatricality in the play, written by Lanford Wilson in 1966.

It’s set in a decaying town in the American Midwest, and the story focuses on the murder trial of Skelly, a hermit who has been thrust outside of the community for reportedly having sex with a sheep.

The play explores the themes of sex, death, judgment and hypocrisy.

Cooper says he hopes the play will spur audience members to ask themselves provocative questions.

“What do you think when you see this judgment and ostracism end up in death and sadness and belittlement? Can you see some of the patterns that lead to this? Are you involved in such patterns?

I feel it’s my job to share in the playwright’s questions and help tell the story that asks those questions and thrusts them at us.”

Burnaby residents Sean Noll and Sara Hutchings star in the production.

The Rimers of Eldritch is on in the Studio Theatre, Room 4100 in the New Westminster campus of Douglas College, 700 Ryal Ave. Tickets are $7.50 to $15. Buy online at tickets. masseytheatre.com or at 604-521-5050.

background as an English and drama teacher and has sung in the Vancouver Opera chorus and with various musical and theatre groups in the Lower Mainland.

In 1992, with her hus-

band, Hugh, she formed the Elwoodettes Marionettes and has since created 20 marionette musicals.

She’s also a playwright – her third play, Shadow of Murder, is set to premiere with New Westminster’s

Vagabond Players in June 2011 – and the author of three books of mystery stories.

The two guest authors will offer readings starting at 7:30 p.m., followed by an open mike session. If

you want to take part in the open mike session, sign up at 7 p.m.

La Fontana Caffe is at 101-3701 Hastings St., at the northeast corner of Boundary and Hastings.

Spoken Ink is presented

by the Burnaby Writers’ Society on the third Tuesday of each month, except July and August.

Frequent ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all.

This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught #1 because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free.

Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON celled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.

Charles E. Palen, 77, Burnaby, BC

FOR WOMEN GUARANTEED

ErosynTM is the only product that helps most women to restore libido, desire and the ability to climax. There is no drug or natural product like it. Evidence from our web site: Erosyn saved my marriage. I’m overjoyed! My libido is back. Words cannot describe how grateful I am. Carla Daunais, 32, St-Hubert, QC I’ve been married for 13 years and never experienced climaxes in the last 12 years - untill I took Erosyn. New sex life is exciting! What a miracle! Jeane Adams, 37, American Fork, UT My sexual desire is greater now than it was for 30 years. It’s wonderful to have such ecstatic joy. I’ve tried others that didn’t work. Eve Jameson, 58, Kingman, AZ I’m 92 and sex is good again. Regained intimacy makes life more interesting. Florence Fryer, Edmonton, AB

The next event in the Burnaby Writers’ Society’s monthly reading series features novelist David GlynJones (who writes as David Glenn) and novelist-playwright Elizabeth Elwood.

Glyn-Jones, who lives in Coquitlam, has recently released his first two published novels, The Queen’s Sword and The Queen’s Jewels, with FireShip Press.

He’s a retired professional musician, actor and singer who’s now an active writer and also works recording books onto tape.

Coping with the deepest loss RON’S STORY In August 2010, Ron Ralph lost his wife of 53 years, Marian, after a long battle with cancer. Like many others who lose a loved one, Ron felt overwhelmed and alone in his grief after his wife’s death.

A social worker who had supported Ron and his family during his wife’s illness gave him information on bereavement program services offered by the Burnaby Hospice Society and encouraged him to connect with the Society for grief counselling.

as understanding the grief process, dealing with guilt, anger, forgiveness, changes in relationships, finding meaning through grief, and coping.

Through individual counselling and group support Ron reports that he is starting to understand his grief and that he is “not alone” in this journey.

Winning package: The BMW 5 Series sports sedan offers more power and better performance – for less fuel.

BMW means business David Chao and Bob McHugh NOW contributors

The sixth generation of BMW’s 5 Series sports sedan is an iconic model that represents everything about BMW. In addition to more power, more features and new performance enhancements, the redesigned 5 Series also offers better fuel economy.

While the 5 Series is a sedan in which a

driver can chauffeur up to four passengers in opulent surroundings, its engineering emphasis is squarely on driver involvement and driving dynamics.

Even though the primary emphasis is on performance that the 5 Series certainly delivers, BMW has also taken a number of steps to reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions. For example, one of our test cars – the 550i – came with a smaller BMW Page 31

MOTORING BMW: Design, safety features, power all pluses in new 5 Series continued from page 27

displacement V8 engine that provided more power yet used less fuel than the previous generation 550i.

For now, the 2011 model year 5 Series line only comes in 528i ($53,900), 535i ($62,300) and 550i ($73,300) in Canada.

Both the 528i and 535i have an inline 3.0litre six-cylinder engine. However, the 535i engine comes with a twin-scroll turbocharger, direct injection and “Valvetronic” throttle-less intake technology, which ups its output to 300 horsepower versus 240 horsepower in the 528i.

A six-speed manual transmission is available with the 535i and 550i.

The top-line 550i delivers true high performance with BMW’s “reverse-flow” V8 engine that features twin turbochargers and direct injection – it has a maximum output of 400 horsepower.

The looks The overall shape hasn’t changed dramatically, but there are more lines and curves to the new body that add interest to its styling. These include a strong side character line that cleverly blends in with the door handles. It’s a nicely balanced silhouette that’s in sync with the near-perfect front-to-rear weight distribution of the 5 Series. Lightweight materials are used to balance the vehicle and lower its overall weight. Components such as doors, fenders and suspension assemblies are all made of aluminum.

The inside It’s a warm and inviting interior with a cockpit-style dash that’s inclined toward the driver, as is the centre console. Both front seats come with 10-way power adjustments including head-restraint height. The steering wheel also has power tilt and telescopic adjustment and tilt-away for exit and entry feature.

The 5 series is available with the widescreen (1280 x 480-pixel) version of the navigation system. Easy to view in daylight, it has what BMW calls a trans-reflective display; light from the sun actually enhances the images on the screen.

Safety Use of more high-strength and ultrahigh-strength steel gives the safety passenger cell of the new BMW 5 Series an increase in body strength and stiffness by 55 per cent over the former model.

Active cruise control with stop-and-go is a new option. It can adjust vehicle speed according to traffic conditions via radar sensors at the front of the vehicle.

A subsystem called Collision Warning triggers an alarm in two stages and can also apply the brakes.

The drive Near-perfect weight balance, a rocksolid body, nicely weighted and precise steering and 400 horsepower at your disposal, the 550i is an exhilarating and truly awesome sports sedan. But even the 535i

Warm and inviting: The interior of the new BMW 550i. provides plenty of get-up-and-go power and torque. Depending on your mood or circumstance, you can choose how you want the 5 Series to behave. A Driving Dynamics Control system on some models allows the driver, via a rocker switch on the centre console, to choose Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+ settings that change the way the car rides and handles and how quickly the drivetrain reacts.

The faster and more expensive 550i can

THE

zip from zero to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds and has an electronically governed top speed of 210 km/h. It can also go around corners in an amazingly flat manner, due to a system BMW calls active roll stabilization.

The score Remarkably well balanced and just a blast to drive, BMW 550i can also tote a few passengers and lots of luggage.

Every day is St. Paddy’s Day at NBBC Irish champs bring boxing knowledge to coach exchange Tom Berridge sports editor

The luck of the Irish is smiling on the North Burnaby Boxing Club.

The amateur boxing club, relocated to Rev’s Entertainment Centre at Holdom Avenue earlier this year, is the home for two Northern Ireland champions for the remainder of November.

Peter Brady and James Ferrin are part of an international partnership exchange involving Springboard Opportunities Limited in Ireland and the Aware Society, which has a location in New Westminster.

The Springboard program brings together young people from Catholic and Protestant areas of Belfast in Northern Ireland and from Dublin in the republic to the south, providing them with opportunities to develop their vocational and personal skills.

The homestay program is aimed at bridging the gap between the two countries and mainstream religions that has divided the Irish people for decades.

“It’s very hard to get this kind of experience in Belfast because of the recession. Everything is really drying up big time,” said Ferrin, a 21-year-old, four-time champion at 164 pounds.

Ferrin, who was studying sports fitness in college back home in Belfast, discovered the exchange program through an advertisement in the local

Volley Vikes take district banners Tom Berridge sports editor

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Fighting Irish: James Ferrin, left, and Peter Brady are two amateur boxing champions from Belfast, Northern Ireland teaching at the North Burnaby Boxing Club on an international exchange this month. newspaper.

He liked there was First Aid, health and safety, Level 1 coaching and a hope of a job waiting after completing the exchange.

“I wanted something so I could get a job,” said Ferrin, who also worked as a person trainer and health model. “I always wanted to come to Canada, so there was a bonus there for me.”

Brady had applied for a Springboard placing the year before, but found the program full. He made sure he was first in line to apply this year.

“I love boxing and want to be professional one day.

But I want to do some-

thing one day. I want to teach others,” said 20year-old Brady, who has held the 106 lbs. title belt in his country for the past four years and was the European silver medallist in 2008. “I like helping people train and get fitter.

I just love training.”

But perhaps more important than the added skills the two Irishmen will learn is learning how to get on with people from all backgrounds.

That realization was driven home upon their arrival in Canada.

Brady has travelled all over the world, including Africa and Eurasia, but was particularly surprised by

the multicultural makeup of the Lower Mainland.

“I thought (Canada) was mostly Caucasian, the way I was used to back home, but it is Asians, East Indians and black people, and they all get along well.

It’s brilliant how well they get on with each other. It’s like an easier way of life,” Brady said.

That realization is at the root of the Springboard exchange.

“It will make me feel different. If they can (live together) in Canada there’s no reason why we can’t do the same. There’s no need,” Brady said.

“We all will (feel differently),” Ferrin added.

The pair coach at the North Burnaby club every Monday to Thursday, with a drop-in on Saturday, and will be on hand until Nov. 18, when they return home following their seven-week stay in Burnaby.

But that might not be the end of it.

Ferrin has been working with current Canadian junior champion Robert Couzens from Burnaby.

The two are in the same weight class and both have their eye on the 2012 Olympics in London.

“We may cross paths. It may happen,” said Ferrin.

“But if it does, we’ll still be friends. But when we step into the ring we won’t.”

Central avenges South loss; takes berth to B.C.s Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Central Wildcats parlayed a second chance into a berth to the provincial AAA boys’ soccer championships.

Central, 3-2 losers to Burnaby South in last week’s district semifinal, was awarded the district’s second berth into the BNW/ North Shore zone playoffs when AA Cariboo Hill made it into the championship final.

Central and South met again Wednesday and fortune seemed to smile on the Wildcats follow-

ing a 2-1 shootout win at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West.

Junior Central goalkeeper Cody Recsky proved the hero on the day, stopping two consecutive penalty kicks to help give the ’Cats the No. 2 zone berth into the provincials Nov. 25 to 27 in Burnaby.

Recsky, who plays with the Burnaby Selects under-16 A Metro team, stopped both Marrion Nzuzi-Luaka and Tyler Leonard from the penalty spot.

Rajan Kooner slotted Central’s fourth goal in the shootout to clinch the final provincial berth.

After a scoreless first half, South got the go-ahead goal from Leonard with a solid strike that beat a diving Recsky to the far post.

The goal looked like it might be all that the Rebels needed.

South keeper Oscar Ramirez was Johnny-on-the-spot when needed, and was lucky when Mark Baldisimo missed a glorious opportunity on an outswinging corner kick later in the half.

Leonard had a chance to score a second goal, but Recsky managed to corral the hard shot.

Central’s game-tying goal

came on a penalty shot goal from Kooner with less than a minute to go.

In overtime, Josh Hardy had the go-ahead goal for Central on a great cross from Jeff Raman called back on a suspect offside call in the second half of OT. “The pressure’s off. That’s finally done with,” added Recsky after the match with South.

Central might well feel fortunate to be in the position they are heading towards the provincials.

“At least half our team are Grade 12s. They wanted to win before they graduated.”

The Burnaby North Vikings captured both the senior boys’ and girls’ district volleyball titles Wednesday.

The Viking girls swept a well-supported Cariboo Hill Charger team in straight sets, while the North boys had to go to four sets before defeating Burnaby South 3-1 at Burnaby North Secondary.

Ilaina Hecimovic and Layla Balooch were named the North all-stars, while Mina Kilburn and Milica Bjelica were the medalwinners for Cariboo.

“Honestly, if we play the way we played today, we’ll be unstoppable,” said Hecimovic on North’s chances at next week’s Lower Mainland AAAA championships Nov. 18 and 20.

Bjelica praised the hundreds of Charger fans that came to North to watch them.

“It’s a big deal and our team really appreciates it,” said Bjelica. “It’s the first time to the Mainlands for our year. It’s a big opportunity.”

The North boys were led by all-star power Preston Wong, who had 16 individual kills and two service aces to lead the Vikings to a 23-25, 25-20, 25-22, 25-19 win over South.

“We definitely wanted it really bad. The last time we played them, we won in five sets. We knew we had to play even harder to take it,” said Wong.

Lorenzo Robiso had seven blocks for North, including three in the final set.

Florian Zhou was North’s other all-star.

Mark Dallas and Alex Pang earned all-star nods for South.

The Lower Mainland AAA boys’ championship will be held at St. George’s School Nov. 16 and 17.

“I’m pretty optimistic.

We have a pretty strong group,” Wong added.

Precious Minds

3855 Sunset Street

• Ages 2½ - 6 Years Old • Preschool & Kindergarten • Full Montessori Curriculum

Cancer June 21-July 22: You start this romantic week with mellow wisdom, Cancer. After this, romance dies down briefly, then will return again by month’s end, into January – but in that next phase it will be more volatile, demand more critical choices. So enjoy this pleasure-filled, non-pressure week! (You might be dealing with creative projects, vacation, charming kids, beauty, hobbies, sports, rather than romance.) A legal, media, educational or travel solution arrives Monday, especially if you chase it. Buy tickets. Be ambitious Wednesday/Thursday.

Happiness, wish fulfilment arrive Friday/Saturday!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Four-month delays in big financial areas (investments, debts, mortgages, other people’s money, business funding) and in sex, intimate commitments, lifestyle changes, research and deep health (e.g., surgery) end now. Shorter and less important delays in mail, communications, telephone installation, career projects, travel and paperwork (especially re: property) end now. Push forward to end things and to plant a new life. Seek funding, suggest settlements, let go of one lifestyle and grasp another, especially Monday. Legal, travel, love and intellectual affairs succeed Wednesday/Thursday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: An easy, enjoyable week, Virgo. The general accent lies on communications, paperwork, travel, errands and details. Long delays end in relationships and opportunities – the best, luckiest, appear Monday to pre-dawn Tuesday, and Thursday. (If they don’t appear, create and chase them!) One opportunity might entail abandoning a job. Life’s depths flow in Tuesday p.m. through Thursday: a relationship becomes intimate, you follow opportunity with commitment, money or a promise. Revealing facts surface. (Especially if you turn over a rock or two.) Wisdom, gentle love arrive Friday/Saturday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your last week of mystery, Aries – and of chances to benefit from others’ largesse or deep pockets. Here are some keywords for action within this arena: Invest, capitulate, confess, fix health, rest Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Ignore an acquaintance’s advice! Pay, buy, sell, “stamp” agreements, embrace or make peace with someone, inventory your possessions Friday/ Saturday. Governments, courts, institutions, lawyers, travel matters, publishers, head office, partners, antagonists, mate, public, opportunities, agreements – all these, indecisive or inactive in recent months, finally march forward.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships remain important.Study opportunities,agreements,relocation prospects, competition and whether you should join ‘em or fight ‘em. But don’t study too long – act soon – or immediately (Monday daytime, Wednesday eve, dawn Thursday right through Saturday). Recent delays in work, employment, machinery and health zones end Thursday. Longer delays (since July) also end, in social, planning, sexual, investment, financial and lifestyle zones. Get going – reach out! Happiness, flirtation, social delights, even love arrive Sunday/ Monday. Rest midweek. You shine Friday/Saturday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your last week of work and drudgery, Gemini. Soon, new horizons will arrive!

Meanwhile, tackle chores. Buy or repair machinery, vehicles. Adjust diet, nutrition, health regimens. Your career is highlighted Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Be ambitious – you could net a promotion; VIPs, bosses or parents will approve of or aid your projects, proposals.

Optimism, friendship, entertainment enter Tuesday p.m. through Thursday: avoid intellectual or ethical disputes at work. Rest, retreat Friday/Saturday. Four months of delays end in negotiations, partnerships, relocation, career and “judgment.”

Nov. 14 - Nov. 20

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Continue to chase money, earn it, use it, spend it. Machinery, tools, vehicles are a great buy Monday (AFTER dawn). In Seymour Narrows, B.C., there used to be a huge underwater hazard called “Ripple Rock” that caused wrecks for 250 years, and prevented efficient ferry traffic. Finally, in 1958, the government blew it up. Your relationships might hold such a deep, hidden rock. Pluto’s down there now (2008 to 2024) trying to eradicate it. It’s “there” Tuesday night – but not Wednesday/Thursday, when love and partnership opportunities soar! Work, financial, sexual and intimate delays end.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high – and this lucky week speeds you toward your goals! Start major projects, seek attention, ask favours, display your talents. Delays that have frustrated you for months in creative, speculative, romantic zones – and shorter delays in partnership, relocation and/or governmentrelated zones – all end now. You ride a winning streak Sunday to Tuesday – romance, speculation, creativity, all reward. Take a risk! Tackle work mid-week. You’ll succeed. Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday – smooth co-operation, money agreements prevail.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This is your last week of seclusion, Sage. Rest deeply, as next week you’ll burst into new projects, situations and hopes.

The more you rest now, the more energy you’ll have then – and the more chores and obligations you clear away now, the lighter and more free you’ll be – when it counts. This is a great week, considering.

Everything revolves around your domestic situation Sunday to Tuesday: Monday holds property, security luck. Romantic notions tease and please mid-week.

You might make a “backyard” friend. Work, health Friday/Saturday. Personal, domestic and social delays end.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent remains on wish fulfilment, popularity, social delights, light romance and entertainment. You feel optimistic about your future; this is a great week to make plans. Do errands, paperwork, communicate and travel Sunday to Monday.

Monday to Thursday favours communications about money – and money information. Read, ask questions, follow your curiosity. Past frustrating delays end in all these areas (especially in obtaining information, especially from government and large corporations).

Home, midweek. Romance, pleasure, creative surges Friday/Saturday – take a chance!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still in a general ambition cycle, for another eight days. Act early – Sunday to Tuesday favour chasing money, seeking a pay raise, cultivating new clients, etc. Monday’s best. Communications, errands, details, travel, casual acquaintances stymie you Tuesday, but they bring interest, happy social interludes (Wednesday) and some intriguing money ideas (Thursday). This week ends a four-month delay in earnings, purchasing power, and dealing with possessions. Beware a bit of deception from higher-ups midweek. Head home Friday/Saturday for a rejuvenating rest – excitement’s coming!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, understanding, higher learning, far travel, publishing, religion, cultural involvements – these are still your main theme.

Your energy and magnetism surge upward Sunday to Tuesday – and your luck soars Monday. Take advantage, get something done, propose, impress someone! Chase money Tuesday eve to Thursday – your idea factory might be a little wobbly, but your practical instincts are right, especially Wednesday. This week ends four months of delay in your ambitions. A lot of that delay emerged from your own indecision: that ends too. Light friends, heavy info, Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Runner wins regional title Helen Crofts won the women’s crosscountry title at the NAIA Association of Independent Institutions championships on Nov. 6.

The Simon Fraser University runner posted a winning time of 17:39 to win the women’s individual five-kilometre title.

Crofts, an 800-metre specialist, saved her best for the final 600m, sprinting past race leader Kelly Thompson of San Marcos to win by three seconds.

The Clan’s top runner, Jessica Smith, sat out the race, having already earned a berth into the NAIA nationals as a member of

the qualified SFU team.

Despite Smith’s absence, SFU edged California State University San Marcos to win the overall team championship title.

SFU’s Angela Shaw finished in sixth place in a time of 17:55, while Brianna Kane was 10th in 18:06. Lindsey Butterworth and Michaela Kane rounded out the Clan’s top-five point-getters, placing 12th and 13th, respectively.

On the men’s side, Ryan Brockerville finished third in a time of 25:19 to earn a berth into the small college nationals. Keir Forster also qualified.

SFU SPORTS

Soccer women second The Simon Fraser University women’s soccer team secured second place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with a draw in its final regular season match.

The Clan played to a scoreless tie with Western Washington University in Bellingham last Saturday.

Aly Benes and April Coffin both had opportunities to score in regulation time.

Lia Marining fired a shot off the crossbar in overtime.

Amelia Ng earned her 10th shutout of the season with the draw.

The Clan is in Phoenix, Arizona this week at the Association of Independent

Institution championships.

A win would qualify SFU for the NAIA nationals.

The Clan women had a healthy showing on the all-Great Northwest conference soccer team.

Seniors Lauren Lachlan and Jessica Fleming led a list of five Clan players garnering awards.

Lachlan and Fleming were both chosen to the conference first team, while Ng made the second team.

Marining and Coffin were named honourable mentions.

The SFU men’s soccer team won a sackful of allconference awards.

Sophomore Max Baessato was named the conference defensive play-

er of the year.

Michael Winter, a Capilano University transfer, won the newcomer of the year award, while head coach Alan Koch was honoured as co-coach of the year in the NCAA Division II conference.

The Clan also boasted seven players on GNAC all-star teams.

Junior midfielder Josh Bennett, sophmore defender Helge Neumann and goalkeeper Hide Ozawa joined Baessato and Winter on the all-conference first team.

Freshmen Carlo Basso and Derrick Bassi were both named to the conference second team from Simon Fraser.

SFU bags Hargobind Invite titles Simon Fraser University women’s wrestling team claimed the overall title at the Hargobind Invitational last weekend.

Danielle Lappage and Helen Maroulis helped SFU wrap up the title.

Lappage won at 63 kilograms, beating former teammate Stacie Anaka on Saturday.

Maroulis defeated Calgary’s Jazzie Barker in the 55 kg final.

Clan teammate Hillary Greening also placed first at 80 kg in her final match Friday.

St. Thomas More grad Laura Gordon

and Victoria Anthony both finished in third place in their respective 59 kg and 48 kg weight categories.

SFU outpointed second-place Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club 35-24. Saskatoon was third with 20 points.

The Clan men also won their division over the University of Calgary.

Max Arcand defeated SFU teammate Noco Huges at 70 kg, while super heavyweight Jesse Sahota also won his weight class.

Canadians nip Renegades in battle of defences The Burnaby Girls Canadians earned a 1-0 win over the North Shore Renegades in Metro Women’s premier league soccer last Sunday.

In a battle between the two teams with the best goals against records in the seven-team loop, Burnaby came out ahead on an

own goal in the 60th minute.

The game-winning goal came after a deflection off a North Shore defender dropped over the outstretched hands of the Renegades keeper.

Cassie Newbrook earned her fourth shutout of the season for the Canadians.

The Burnaby backline of Jacqueline Gant, Amy Bobb, Marisssa Antoniazzi and Chantelle Maivs kept the Renegades at bay, allowing the Canadian attack to continually put pressure on the visitors.

Rookie forward Amy Lawrence had perhaps the best opportunity

to score, clanging a chance off the post in a close one-on-one with the North Shore keeper.

The win kept Burnaby within reach of the unbeaten leaders Surrey United.

Burnaby plays Langley FC at McClughan Park this Sunday at 10 a.m.

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

Winning weekend for soccer Selects

Jr. Rebels win title; nipped in zones Tom Berridge sports editor

It wasn’t Burnaby South’s day in zone soccer playoffs this week.

South lost both the AAA senior and junior zone titles to a Sentinel Spartans squad, both by one-goal margins.

The senior Rebels fell 1-0 to the West Vancouver school in a provincial qualifying match on Monday.

The juniors then lost 2-1 in a shootout to Sentinel at Sutherland Turf on Wednesday.

In the junior zone final, midfielder Alban Hodo opened the scoring for South after just five minutes in the second half.

Sentinel answered 10 minutes later and the game went to overtime with the score tied at 1-1.

Matthew Shannik, who led South in scoring with 14 goals this season, had a glorious chance careen off the crossbar in the match.

Rebel keeper Alex

Morraquin made a number of saves to force the shootout. South lost the match on penalty kicks.

Earlier, South won the BNW junior boys’ soccer banner with a 5-3 victory in overtime over Byrne Creek Nov. 4.

Byrne Creek held a 3-1 lead at halftime on goals

by Filip Radovic, Daniel Hurmer and Sameer Aslami.

South rallied to tie the contest 3-3 and then scored a goal in each of the two overtime periods to winner the district banner.

Christian Guzman and Shannik, with a pair of markers, scored to send the game into extra time.

Tyler Huguet and Louis Zhou tallied in OT. “I told them don’t be disappointed. Wait until next year when you have a chance to prove yourself at a higher level,” said Byrne Creek junior head coach Sava Miljanic, who praised his boys for a fine season.

The Burnaby Selects were all winners this week in Metro boys’ soccer.

The Burnaby Royals stayed level with Surrey Guildford United atop the Division 1 under-18 standings following a 4-0 win over the Delta Selects last Saturday.

Gilbert Kyne, Paris Gee, Curtis Helm and Chris Diabikulu all scored single markers. Jordan Campbell posted the shutout.

The u-18 Div. 2 Selects got their second win of the season, doubling the Abby Mariners 2-1 at home Sunday.

Justin Siglos, on a penalty kick, and Deni Zulic, with the game-winner, did the scoring for Burnaby.

The second-place Div. 1 Royals remained unbeaten despite a 1-1 draw against u-16 league leader Coquitlam Metro-Ford Sparta last Saturday.

Matthew Shannik tied the score with less than two minutes to play on an assist

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Title tilt: Matthew Shannik, with ball, had two goals for South, while Daniel Hurmer, in air, scored a goal for Byrne Creek in final banner match on Nov. 4.

“It was an excellent outing. Last year, we had a not so good season, but

we finished second and beat (Burnaby) North 2-0 in the regular season.”

from Justin Dhaliwal, ending Sparta’s perfect record at 8-0-1.

Burnaby remained in second place in the Div. 2 u16 division with Coquitlam Metro-Ford Barca following a scoreless draw with the crosstown club.

The two u-14 Select clubs were both winners.

The Div. 1 boys kept their perfect 8-0-0 record intact with a 2-1 victory over the second-place Surrey Selects.

Joel Padmore had a hand in both Burnaby goals, scoring the game-winning tally from Devon Jones and Max Williams in the 44th minute. Padmore also drew an assist, along with Christian Nichele, on Tyus Batiste’s early counter.

The Div. 2 youngsters remained atop the standings after a 5-0 romp over the winless Surrey Selects.

Luca Lepore led the way with a pair of goals. Stefan Cuk, Malcolm Stafford and Devon Jones also tallied.
