‘Knee-jerk’ labelling is wrong An SFU professor says attempts to blame new immigrants for importing intolerant views to Canada is wrong-headed Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Blaming “close-minded views” of immigrants for the opposition to the Burnaby school board’s draft antihomophobia policy is a knee-jerk reaction to a complex situation, according to SFU’s Paul Crowe. As a humanities professor, Crowe specializes in Chinese intellectual history and Chinese religion and culture. He also heads the David Lam Centre, which promotes intercultural dialogue. “People have this knee-jerk reaction when there is a problem of this nature,” he said. “It’s the result of a great generalization. This entire country is founded on immigration.” Crowe was responding to recent media commentary, focusing on the cultural background of parents opposed to the draft policy and charging that this was a case of Asian and Muslim immigrants importing their intolerant views to Canada. “You can’t simply say it’s those immigrants with their close-minded views bringing them here to Canada. It’s a lot more complicated than that,” he said. “This whole thing is being oversimplified.” Canada has a fairly long track record, of close-minded, intolerant views, he added. Policy Page 9

Fox was in town for the tourney that raises funds for the South Burnaby theatre that bears his name, and he was joined by good friend Cam Neely, president of the Boston Bruins, for nine holes at the Riverway Golf Course. The event raised approximately $50,000 for the theatre, meaning that in 12 years, almost $600,000 has been raised for the Michael J. Fox Theatre. Last Friday’s event featured 144 golfers and 350 people who attended the dinner at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

Auction items that went for big money included signed Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins jerseys and Vancouver Giants, Vancouver Whitecaps, B.C. Lions and Vancouver Canucks jerseys with ‘Fox 50’ on the back. The lucky buyer of the Canucks ‘Fox 50’ jersey was another Burnaby boy, Michael Bublé, who called Fox with a $1,500 bid for the coveted cloth.

Hot stuff in the Heights The sun was shining on the crowd lining Hastings Street in Burnaby Heights as the Hats Off parade began Saturday morning. Police motorcycles roared down the roadway, crisscrossing and winding in tight formation. And that was just the beginning, with floats and marching bands to follow, and the parade wrapping up in about an hour-and-a-half. Bright balloons festooned the wrists of the children attending, with a few floating off into the sky as the parade progressed. Afterwards, the street festival from Gamma Avenue to Boundary Road began, along with the show and shine vintage car show. Businesses greeted revelers with samples and special deals to celebrate. The Heights Merchants Association organized the event, which featured food, fun and entertainment throughout the day. Performers on the Spotlight Main Stage included the Purple Pirate, magician Bobby Loonie, and local singer Stephen Scaccia.

Pardon awareness campaign comes to city Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

One in seven Canadians has a criminal record, according to Burnaby resident Ainsley Muller, but the majority of those are for minor crimes. Muller is the director of business management for Express Pardons, a Vancouverbased company that assists people with

criminal records in obtaining pardons. “Unfortunately, when you say someone has a criminal record, where does your mind run?” he says. “It goes to (major crimes profiled on) shows likes CSI.” A criminal record never goes away by itself, Muller says, and limits a person’s ability to work or travel. “It creates a cycle of struggle,” he adds. “At what point has someone paid their

debt to society?” Express Pardons is organizing a One in Seven awareness campaign for Wednesday, June 29, at major transit locations in Vancouver and Burnaby. The campaign is not meant to alarm people, to make them look at their neighbours as potential criminals, Muller explains. It’s meant to make people aware of how many people are dealing with the stigma created

by a criminal record. Criminal record checks result in a yes or no response, he adds, with no specifics on the crime committed. Muller points that a Driving Under the Influence conviction would come up as a yes on a criminal record check in Canada, whereas in the United States it is considered a traffic offence.

Other proposed changes were granting absolute discretion to the National Parole Board on refusing to grant or revoking record suspensions, and introducing a three-strike provision, as in the United States. Waiting periods would also be extended. While the bill did not pass before the dissolution of Parliament in March, Muller expects the same measures will likely be included in the crime omnibus bill that Prime Minister Stephen Harper mentioned in his election campaign. Harper committed to combining a number of crime bills to be put before Parliament within 100 days of his return to office during his campaign. The Ministry of Public Safety did not respond to requests for an update on the status of the crime bill before Burnaby NOW deadlines. Muller is also concerned about plans to increase the cost of pardons, which he says will prevent many people from obtaining one. In 2009 to 2010, the pardon user fee was $99.82, he says, and took one to three months to process. The Parole Board of Canada is proposing charging a user fee of $616, with service times extending to six to 12 months. This is due to the need for additional time to review and write decisions, screenings and other costs related to the introduction of Bill C23a last June, which made the first round of amendments to Criminal Act regarding who can receive a pardon.

That’s not to minimize the seriousness of such a conviction, he says, merely to point out the range in crimes that result in a life-long criminal record. The company decided to organize the campaign as the federal government is considering bringing in legislation that would make obtaining a pardon more difficult. But pardons work, Muller says, and need to remain accessible. Since the Criminal Records Act was enacted in the 1970s, 96 per cent of the 400,000 Canadians who have received pardons have not re-offended, according to the Canadian Criminal Justice Association. Between 10 and 15 per cent of Canadians have criminal records, the association added in a brief to the House of Common’s standing committee on justice and human rights, but only about 11 per cent ever apply for a pardon. The brief was in response to Bill-C23, an act to amend the Criminal Records Act, which proposed a number of changes. Bill C23 was divided into two bills – Bill C23a, which passed last June, and Bill C23b. Bill-C23b, put forward by Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews, was intended to eliminate pardons for serious crimes. The bill included changes such as replacing the term “pardon” with the term “record suspension,” a move Muller approves of as being a more accurate description of the pardon process.

Bonsor trees to be replaced Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

A small copse of red maple trees near Bonsor Recreation Centre has been cut down but will be replaced, according to a city arbourist. A reader of the NOW noticed the removal of the nine trees about a week ago and contacted the paper to find out more. The Acer rubrum, or Red Sunset, trees were located on city property near the new Chancellor at Metrotown development, at the corner of Nelson Avenue and Bennett Street. The city approved the tree removal by the developer because the planting area needed improving, City of Burnaby arbourist Rick Diehl said. “They’d been in for a number of years,” he said of the trees, adding they weren’t doing well in the area. “They were stagnant.” The trees’ growth was prevented by the conditions of the soil, as well as the proximity of the road and sidewalk, he said. The developer cut down the trees, and will be putting in new soil for the replacements from Bennett Street to Jubilee Avenue, Diehl said. PVC piping will be put under the soil, he said, so that tree roots won’t lift up the sidewalk – instead,

the roots go into the piping and are redirected. “It’s better for the tree,” he said of the piping. The initial nine trees are to be

replaced by a swath of landscaping, including more of the same variety of red maples, Diehl added. The site is being rebuilt at the cost of the Chancellor developer, Polygon Homes. Polygon is building a 37-storey tower with 245 two-bedroom units at 4860 Bennett St., next to the Bonsor Recreation Centre. It is one of the tallest developments currently slated for the Metrotown area. The development has proven popular, with people lining up outside the pre-sale office a week before sales started in April. Additional trees are being planted along Bennett Street. Development plans include “a prominent landscaped plaza at the corner of Nelson Avenue and Bennett Street, with a dramatic public art installation by renowned artist Alan Storey,” according to a description on Polygon’s website. The development site was approved for rezoning in December, with a density bonus worth $2.7 million going to the city. The density bonus is going towards a two-storey, 8,600-square-foot centre for older adults near Bonsor.

as brutal, our housing stock not quite as bubbly as in the United States. But the three-legged stool our economy was built on – Chinese demand, sub-prime mortgages, and debt – is still wobbly. During those free-spending years, Canadian household debt reached new, shocking levels. The average Canadian owes $112,000. Debt is growing at more than six per cent a year, while wages are growing at about 4 to 4.5 per cent per year. In December, the level of

Canadian household debt exceeded the American level. Yet despite these unsustainable numbers, we’ve got commentators worrying that Canadians will stop spending. Canadians will stop spending eventually, no matter what happens. They can either stop now, pay off the credit cards, and work on saving, or they can stop later – when they go bankrupt. Frankly, we’d rather they slowed down a bit now, even if it does give the economy a bit of a shock.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Yes, policy 5.45 is necessary Dear Editor:

Re: New policy has weaknesses, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, May 20, from Ben Seebaran, retired teacher/administrator with Vancouver School Board. No reasonable person could object to a policy designed to provide a safe environment for all students. In theory, the Burnaby school board’s Policy 5.10 dealing with violence and intimidation or Policy 6.40 on multiculturalism would suffice; nevertheless, the question remains, “have these policies eliminated bullying of LGBTQ students?” Ben Seebaran’s question whether the board may be promoting a proLGBTQ agenda is worthy of examining. Interestingly, the article Seebaran quoted turned up on www.christianpost.com. The breakaway group of pediatricians who issued the caution to educators

might have a religious agenda in saying, “schools should not seek to develop policy which … encourages non-heterosexual attractions among students who may merely be experimenting or experiencing temporary sexual confusion.” Policy 5.45 is not “encouraging” certain sexual behaviours. The BSB merely desires protection for LGBTQ students who have been bullied. Seebaran’s comment, “There is a danger that anti-bullying policies and curricula will discriminate againstreligiousstudentswhobelievethathomosexual behaviour is morally wrong” leaves one with another question. Is it fair for religious people to attach a religious morality to secular people, who may very well have their own version of spirituality which works for them? Respect for others implies no one needs to emulate anything against their will. So why do religious Protection Page 7

people feel it necessary to inflict their theology on others? That behaviour could be viewed as “divisive” or disrespectful. LGTBQ folk just want to fit in like everyone else. It would seem that since religions have achieved freedom, these same ones have now become the persecutors. Indeed, lifestyles are influenced by traumatic experiences, and much therapy is needed. Therapists are careful not to judge abuse victims. Judgment and dogma would cause further damage to the fragile balance that resulted from the initial indoctrination. Rather, victims require validation and acceptance of their experiences – very different from “encouraging” behaviours. Some students have already received plenty of damnation from people who are supposed to love them – including parents – and do not need more of the same from religious groups. With a high suicide rate among LGBTQ students, support is crucial. No one expects fundamentalists to change their beliefs, unless they choose to. But it cannot be expected that everyone believes as they do. Policy 5.45 is a healthy initiative that validates a group that has been unaddressed by earlier policies. E. Harrison, Burnaby

Policy should win support Dear Editor:

In 2002, I started the first gay-straight alliance club at my high school, Burnaby Mountain Secondary. The school was in its infancy, having only opened a year earlier, yet there was already a need to combat homophobia in the school and to provide

students of all sexual orientations and gender identities with a safe and inclusive learning environment. Now, nearly a decade later, that need still exists. An entirely new cohort of students at Burnaby Mountain has recognized the problem and is courageously resurrecting the gay-straight alliance. Their efforts will make a difference in their school, but homophobia is a widespread problem in secondary and elementary schools across Burnaby. Whether homophobic slurs are shouted on playgrounds or whispered in classrooms, for many students, homophobia and heterosexism are learned at a young age. Grassroots student clubs are vital to creating safe spaces, but to fully address homophobia and heterosexism in Burnaby schools, there must be a foundation of strong institutional policies. Such policies must empower school staff with the knowledge and tools to encourage understanding and diversity and to intervene when they see hate and discrimination. These policies should encourage positive representations of LGBTQ+ people in the school curriculum and provide supportive environments for LGBTQ+ students and staff. It is for these reasons that I strongly support Policy 5.45. It is time for the board’s policies to catch up to the efforts of students and staff who for years have been battling these issues with too little institutional support. As a Burnaby Mountain Secondary alumnus, Burnaby resident, taxpayer and future parent, I strongly encourage the Burnaby board of education to unanimously approve Policy 5.45 as drafted.

Legislature: Divisiveness is back continued from page 6

of the time making political speeches or attacking each other. The change from the tone during the Campbell/ James era could not be more startling. The personalities of the two people vying to be premier are remarkably different from each predecessor. Whereas Campbell disliked politics and loved the minutia of public policy, Clark loves all things about politics and doesn’t seem overly interested in the policy side of things, unless she can work a populist angle into the mix. While James was conciliatory and ready to embrace the political middle, Dix is combative and focused solely on

those people who share his political views (in fact, one joke goes, Dix is more like Campbell than Clark is). The brief encounters this past week between Dix and Clark signal that the next election campaign will be marked by some pretty nasty personal attacks. Dix keeps insisting Clark is some far-right wing demon, hell-bent on helping business at every turn (although a number of her policies, such as raising the minimum wage, hardly fit that description, but no matter). And Clark is determined to paint Dix as some kind of hard-line leftist (although she plucked one of Dix’s policies – raising corporate taxes, which until she did was supposed by some kind of evil lefty

idea) who will wreck the economy. Throw in the NDP’s dark mutterings about Clark’s supposed link to the B.C. Rail scandal and the Liberals’ penchant of reminding everyone that Dix once falsified a memo in the middle of a police investigation of his former boss, and the stage is set for a bitter, personal, knockdown fight come the next election. The two leaders’ personalities, styles and philosophies have ensured B.C. is moving back to a deeply polarized electorate. The politics of inclusion are gone – while the politics of divisiveness are upon us once again. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

Policy: Opposition a mix of culture, religion and personal belief continued from page 1

On May 10, about 100 angry parents came out to protest the board’s draft policy. Most were Chinese members of Burnaby’s Willingdon Church. Even so, singling that group out is problematic for Crowe. “Let’s get away from saying ‘those Asians’ and start talking about the individuals and their individual views,” he said. “When you start saying things like ‘those immigrants,’ or ‘those Asians,’ it’s meaningless. It doesn’t mean anything.” Charter Lau is with Parents’ Voice, the ad hoc group opposing the draft policy. While the original protesters were mostly Chinese members of Willingdon Church, many other parents have since joined the group, Lau said, and all of them fear that the school district is passing this policy behind their backs. According to Lau, who’s originally from Hong Kong, Chinese culture views children as more of a collective group belonging to society, rather than individual parents. He personally thinks the opposition is more about culture shock than religion. “(However,) the parents, regardless of where they come from, have a sense

that the teachers want to go around them. Then the protection instinct all of a sudden fires up,” he said. Lau also thinks that the Chinese community is more organized. “That’s why they are more visible. You make a phone call, and 20 to 30 Chinese come out,” he said. “(But,) parents have different beliefs, whether it comes from religion or belief, … Don’t label them as Christian or Chinese or whatever.” As an immigrant and a Sikh,schooltrusteeBaljinder Narang empathized with where the parents were coming from. Most faithbased communities struggle with the issue of sexual orientation, Narang said. “It was difficult when I first, as an adult, confronted these issues,” she said. “It was difficult to reconcile the religious perspective with what is socially right. I had to struggle with that. I had to think through why it was OK and why the conflict I was experiencing had to be contained. I had to come to terms with that.” As for the reaction from parents, Narang said it may be both culture shock and faith. “I think that people who have very strong religious beliefs cannot accept this

form of behaviour,” she said. But, she took issue with singling out race. “It’s sad that we are getting this race factor in. I think that’s actually not helpful. Having said that, I think parents are really worried. They are fearful for their kids,” Narang said. “As a parent, I really do get it. I understand their anxiety, their fears. I’ve been there, done that. All my life, as a mother, I’m always worried for my kids, but that’s something I have

to deal with. That doesn’t stop me from letting my kids do what they have to do and explore life the way they have to explore, in their own way.” Crowe suggested parents’ respective religious views are likely the force behind their common opposition. “It looks to me like it’s more a question of religiously based values and people feeling nervous that their children are going to somehow be indoctrinated

a democratic process to deal with things. There’s no easy solution. These are very sensitive questions for these people. And negotiating our way through and preserving civil society is not an easy thing. We’ve chosen to do that, instead of the alternative, which is close down public discussion and dictate the terms of everything.” For more on this story, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, www.burnabynow.com.

into a way of life that they see as somehow morally questionable. That seems to me the issue, not so much where people have migrated from,” he said. Crowe pointed out that people have a right to express their views, regardless. “We don’t have to like these views, or we don’t have to like all the views that get expressed, but we do have to listen and we do have to give people a public voice and we have

A 24-year-old Burnaby man has been arrested after the police found nine firearms – including prohibited weapons and silencers – and a half-pound of marijuana in a Burnaby home in the 7000 block of Curtis Street. On May 30, RCMP drug officers used a warrant to search the house. When the officers entered the home, they found the man within arm’s reach of a loaded .44 calibre revolver and a loaded 9-mm pistol. A further search of the home uncovered an Uzi submachine gun with a silencer and ammunition, a bullet-resistant vest, five 9-mm pistols, a sawedoff shotgun, silencers, a machete, a Taser, gloves, masks, wrist locks and many rounds of ammunition. “All of the firearms are

The Burnaby RCMP are looking for the public’s help after a woman was attacked by a man near Lougheed Town Centre on Sunday night. Shortly after 6 p.m. on June 5, Burnaby RCMP received a complaint that a man had just attacked a woman in the area of Beaverbrook Crescent and Beaverbrook Drive in Burnaby. The woman told the police that she was walking home from Lougheed Town Centre when a stranger pulled up beside her and tried to wrestle her into his car. She slapped the man across the face, but he continued to try and push her into his vehicle. A Good Samaritan intervened, giving the woman safe haven in her vehicle and calling police. The woman, who wasn’t injured in the attack, told police that although she does not know the man, she has seen him following her twice before. The man is described as Filipino, in his late 40s to early 50s. He is approximately 5-6 tall with a medium to stocky build. His hair is short and parted at the side. At the time of the attack, he was wearing a white collared polo shirt, black dress pants, black shoes and he had a Bluetooth in his ear. Witnesses told police they heard him speaking in broken English. The suspect vehicle can only be described as a newer-model black fourdoor sedan. Anyone with information concerning this incident, or the identity of the man, is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922.

If you’re a writer considering self-publishing, here’s one for you. Burnaby author Michelle Demers is offering an Introduction to Self-Publishing workshop at the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library on Tuesday, June 21. In March 2011, Demers self-published her first mystery novel, Baby Jane, to Amazon’s Kindle, winning immediate acclaim. She followed in May with the print-on-demand trade paperback version of the book. She’s currently working on a guide to self-publishing using her experience with Baby Jane as a case study, and at the same time she’s at work on her next mystery novel. She’ll discuss the benefits of self-publishing, the scams to avoid and other practical information for local writers. Copies of Baby Jane will be for sale at the event. It’s all free, but space is limited – register ahead at www.bpl.bc.ca/events or call 604-299-8955. The McGill branch is at 4595 Albert St. in North Burnaby.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners: 56 of you are about to make an important ﬁnancial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $4946.00 Furnaces for $1181 with Off-Season Central Air ...” (“This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old) Dear Friend I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efﬁcient) furnace. I’ll replace your old furnace AND heat pump as a “package deal” for at least $3136.00 less than you would pay any other time of the year. Sound too good to be true? It’s not and here’s why. I’m making you what sounds like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner, as well! You see, I know from experience that in my slowest months I actually end up losing money ... then I have to spend the rest of the year trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2011 will be any different.

with the manufacturer, and then committing to buying 56 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the heat pump at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means when you buy one of these 56 new, premium-quality heat pumps I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 in labor it costs to install your furnace. Pick up your phone right now Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytime so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit). Remember ... I’ve got only 56 matched systems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested. When these 56 systems are gone, they’re gone, and this offer is null and void. Call me right now so we can get the ball rolling!

That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a proﬁt during these months and minimize my losses ... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year.

As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the heat pump costs ... how much the furnace WOULD have cost ... and your savings when you buy your new heat pump and furnace as part of this special offer. The price I show you will include all installation materials and labor. There’s no ﬁne print, nothing left out.

So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter.

Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me

Every year the biggie furnace manufacturers guesstimate how many furnaces to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next heating season.

The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for the lost sales during my slowest months.

I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of 56 of these furnaces that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 56 heat pumps all in the 3 most popular sizes used in Lower Mainland homes. Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices. Don’t get me wrong - these are brand-new, top quality, 2011 models. Not “seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium furnaces and heat pumps fresh from a name-brand factory with a full factory warranty. How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace for Virtually Nothing By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations

I ﬁgure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing 8 years or more ... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ... • Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period • Keep my service & installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home. As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem. You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value). Why? Even if we don’t do

business together now, I want you to remember us in the future. If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heat pump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry! You don’t have to pay me right now Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do. While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills. My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills, I’m so sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years. Not only are you getting a new, first-quality furance virtually free, plus a first-quality heat pump at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25% or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available). But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at 946-1000 right now! This offer ends June 24th no matter what Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 18 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces “given away” in a certain size, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over. And if I still have any of the 56 systems left on June 24th, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business only slows down for a short time. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead. So call me right now at 946-1000 Thanking you in advance, Scott Campbell Owner P.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and - even if you change your mind once I measure your house and give you the estimate - you still get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

Larry Wright and I sat down with Farahani to sample his burgers, we were blown away by the portion sizes, the mixed fries and the sheer value for money. “The idea for the mix of fries came from my (friend) Marie Lund,” said Farahani. “She didn’t like to have to choose, and nobody likes paying 50 cents or a dollar extra for yam fries.” All of the burger bowls are $12.50, and while the AAA sirloin burger is very good, I would suggest the mahi-mahi burger, simply because you won’t find it on many menus in the Lower Mainland. The reason we know the mahi-mahi is very good is because for one of our mains – all of the main entrees are $20 or less – we had the pistachio crusted mahi-mahi ($19.50). “We serve it with mango salsa, and it’s one of the most refreshing dishes on our menu,” said Farahani. Pretty hard to argue, as Wright made good work of the mahi-mahi. Meanwhile, I was salivating over the lamb shank ($19.50), which came out so big and so juicy that Wright, who professes not to eat much lamb, was having a healthy portion for himself. Farahani was given carte blanche to create something special at the clubhouse that only opened at the end of April. “We didn’t want to just be a clubhouse where people got a burger and left,” said Farahani. “We also didn’t think being all fine dining or all casual was the right way to go either. … We wanted a mix, we wanted to have families coming for a meal, we wanted to have golfers having something after their round, and we wanted

to have some of the local businesses come here for a great meal.” To that end, Farahani and Chef Larry created the $9.99 lunch special, running from noon to 3 p.m., that features a Chef Larry creation and soft drink for the business lunch crowd. “It’s been very popular,” said Farahani. “Depending on the day, you’ll get a great pasta or a great meat dish, and you get the soft drink as well. … It’s a great deal for $10.” Farahani also has some special creations on the drink menu. By using topnotch ingredients – Ketel One is the house vodka and Bombay Sapphire is the house gin – Farahani ensures the purity and flavour of his martinis. For $7, you can try the classic, pomegratini or cosmopolitan, but for our money, the three you have to try are the pear martini (that’s the special martini served for weddings or receptions); the Little Miss Sunshine, featuring Malibu

rum, amaretto and pineapple juice; or the Sunset, featuring Grand Marnier, orange, cranberry and lime juice. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention a couple of the appetizers that we have ordered in the past. The West Coast trio features smoked salmon, candied Indian salmon and smoked tuna loin for only $10.50, while the club Caesar salad for $8.50 is pretty darn refreshing. For seafood lovers, the two other dishes that are to-die-for are the linguine lobster sensation ($16.50), which features lobster morsels, a creamy Alfredo sauce and linguine; and the smoked salmon salad ($13.50), which also includes dill cream cheese, garlic toast and fresh Tuscan greens. The restaurant is open each day from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The Riverway Clubhouse is located at the Riverway Golf Course at 9001 Bill Fox Way. For reservations, call 604-2974888.

Michael J. Fox GOLF TOURNAMENT 12 YEAR – ANOTHER SOLD-OUT SUCCESS! th

t was an early birthday party for Burnaby’s favourite son and the big beneﬁciary was the Michael J. Fox Theatre.

Last Friday’s Michael J. Fox Golf Tournament at the Riverway Golf Course raised approximately $50,000 for the South Burnaby theatre, but the day was a celebration of the host reaching a momentous birthday. Fox turns 50 on June 9 and the actor’s friends and family turned out to help celebrate. While dressed to golf, Fox proudly showed off his key to the City of Burnaby and Order of Canada lapel pins on his golf shirt. ThehighlightwasBostonBruinspresidentCam Neely golﬁng the front nine with Fox. Neely was in town not only for the tournament, but because his Bruins are battling the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup ﬁnal. Also making the event extra special was a call and pre-taped video from another Burnaby boy, crooner Michael Buble, wishing Fox a Happy 50th. Buble called during Friday night’s gala dinner at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, and also used the call to put in a successful $1,500 bid for a Vancouver Canucks jersey with Fox’s name and age on it.

The Vancouver Whitecaps, Vancouver Giants and B.C. Lions also contributed ‘Fox 50’ jerseys for the auction that was run by tournament chair Gary Morrey. But the big prize, which went for $3,700, was a combo set of team-signed Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins jerseys. “It was a very successful event,” said Morrey. “What is really quite amazing is that the gala, which has room for 350 people, sold out faster than the golf tournament, which had 144 golfers. We’re very happy with how the day went.”

The topic of hockey, and in particular, the Stanley Cup ﬁnals, was never far from the thoughts of participants, as Canuck fever was in evidence all over the golf course.

Morrey said Fox’s allegiances are split, but he’s managed to get around that by cheering for Vancouver when games are on the West Coast and cheering for his friend Neely’s team when the games are in Beantown. The popular local tournament, now in its 12th year, has raised almost $600,000 for theatre improvements and arts and entertainment scholarships for Burnaby students. Another highlight was Fox showed off his old skateboard, complete with his phone number, that his childhood friend gave to him.

Tournament board member Russ Read won an award for his role in fostering excellence in community building.

Major sponsors of this year’s tournament include the Burnaby NOW, Michael J. Fox, the Morrey Auto Group, the Michael J. Fox Theatre, the Burnaby Fireﬁghters Charitable Society, Mission Hill Winery, Scotiabank, the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, Bosa Properties Inc., Fortis B.C., Shervin Communications, Canaccord, Burnaby Lake Greenhouses, Pepsi, DSDL Canada Investments, the Vancouver Giants, Rhino Marketing, Tourism Burnaby, ABC Recycling, the City of Burnaby and Golf Burnaby.

Check out Environment Week HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

he City of Burnaby’s Environment Week is on from June 5 to 11. The initiative features activities that protect the environment, with a focus on reducing waste. There are swap meets throughout the city on June 11. There are guided hiking trips through Burnaby Mountain Park on June 11. On June 10, the Bob Prittie Metrotown library branch will screen Water on the Table, a Canadian documentary arguing that access to potable water is a human right. There will also be tips on saving energy, an ecology and plant walk and a speaker from SFU talking about reducing waste in transportation. For full details, see the city’s website, www. burnaby.ca, and click

on Events. I’ll also post the lengthy listing on my blog, Community Conversations, at www. burnabynow.com. Click on Opinion and look for the Blogs link.

Past wrongs

Can governments right historical wrongs? That’s the subject up for debate at SFU’s Philosopher’s Café on June 13. The session’s main question is: Should the Government of Canada offer forgiveness for past events? The debate is at the Shadbolt Centre, at 6450 Deer Lake Ave., at 7 p.m. Admission is $5. Call 604291-6864 for more or visit philosopherscafe.net.

Marian’s reunion

Don’t forget the Marian High School reunion is coming up, Saturday, June 11. It’s at St. Thomas More Collegiate, at 7450 12th Ave., at 1:30 p.m. The independent girls’ school opened in 1965, and the archdiocese of Vancouver shut down the school in 1988. Some of the girls

went to St. Thomas More Collegiate, which had been an all-boys’ school till then. Former students have been on an international hunt for their ex-schoolmates, and they’ve struck up the Marian High Alumnae Association. Members are also looking for memorabilia associated with the school. For info, tickets and a link to their Facebook group, go to www.marianhigh.ca.

Elks donation

The Burnaby Elks are giving out their annual donation to charity. On May 28, the local chapter donated $30,000, divided between the B.C. Cancer Foundation, B.C. Children’s Hospital, Burnaby Hospital, B.C. Family Hearing Resource Society and Edmonds Community School. The Elks are part of a national volunteer fraternal organization, dedicated to supporting charities and community needs, with a focus on children. The Elks have been in Burnaby since 1959, but

the local chapter is now struggling with low numbers. “We’re always looking for new membership,” said Wally Govett. “We need help to help the kids.”

Free tennis book

There’s another book on offer for a lucky reader. Newly arrived to the newsroom is Strings and Grips, by tennis coach Desmond McLennon II. The book is geared towards kids aged four to nine. It’s actually a bit of a bizarre read. Some bits of anthropomorphized material meet some frames and form complete tennis rackets to make friends with a ball. Spoiler alert: They all have so much fun, they clean up a field and create a tennis court. The first person who emails me at jmoreau@ burnabynow.com with Strings and Grips in the subject line gets the book. Got an item to share?

Classic Lincoln needs a loving touch CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: My terminally ill father has just given me his 1961 Lincoln Continental. The car is in a storage unit in Michigan, and although it was mostly restored about eight or nine years ago, it now needs some repairs (I have a list of what it needs) to make it roadworthy. I’d like to fix it up and drive it to the East Coast and give my father his final ride in it. My problem is that I’m living overseas, and I need to find a mechanic I can wire money to so that when it’s ready, I can fly to Michigan, pick it up and drive right out to the East Coast. Do you have any idea how to find a mechanic who can help me, who would be reputable and who wouldn’t take advantage of an absentee customer? Many thanks. – Annie RAY: We were right there with you until you mentioned the word “repu-

table,” Annie. TOM: Actually, your ideal candidate would be both reputable and have some experience with ancient Continentals. RAY: So start by calling dentists’ offices near where the car is stored. Ask if they treat any mechanics with few to no teeth. That’s the age group you’re interested in, Annie. TOM: Actually, we have a couple of genuine ideas for you. One is to start with the Lincoln and Continental Owners Club. You can find it on the Web at www.lcoc.org. It has a network of members who all love and restore old Lincolns. If you post a request on its website and hook up with the regional club in Michigan, it may be able to help you find someone near the car who specializes in old Lincolns. RAY: The second option would be to search the Mechanics Files (www. cartalk.com/mechanics). That’s a database of mechanics who have been personally recommended by readers of our column or listeners to our radio show. You search it by entering your ZIP code. TOM: You won’t necessarily find a Continental

specialist that way, but you should be able to find some highly recommended mechanics in the area. Then you can call a few of them and ask if they know anybody who’d be good for your dad’s car. RAY: You might get lucky. One of the guys you reach might want to do the work. But more likely, he’ll know another guy in the area who loves working on older cars. TOM: We wish you a lot of luck, Annie. It’s a wonderful, sweet thing you’re doing for your dad. My kids wouldn’t be nearly as nice if I stuck them with one of my old heaps. ◆ Bumps and potholes do more than merely annoy drivers.

STM track marches to younger beat Tom Berridge sports editor

The St. Thomas More boys had their best finish since 2007 at this year’s B.C. Secondary Schools track and field championships. STM placed sixth in the boys’ aggregate, garnering 32 points to finish ahead of Gleneagle and just behind Kelowna and fourth-place Vancouver College. Oak Bay earned both the boys’ and girls’ team banners to win its unprecedented 10th straight team aggregate. Although the Burnaby independent had just one gold medal to show for it, the Knights boys’ team still had a lot of encouraging moments. The Knights 4x100 metre boys’ team of Grade 11 runners Mikey Carney and Marwin Empainado, and juniors Sebastian Adugalksi and anchor Giovanni Trasolini took STM’s fourth provincial relay gold medal in the last six years with a winning personal-best time of 43.51. The foursome, with Ross Hilliam substituting for Empainado, missed qualifying for the 4x400m with a 15th-place finish in the preliminary heats held Friday. “We focused on the 4x100. We were happy with what we have accomplished. Next year, we’ll do better,” said Adugalski, who came sixth in the long jump at 6.26m and posted a personal-best time in the 110m hurdles, finishing seventh overall. “But actually it was pretty good, Grade 10 and everything.” Trasolini also certainly has better days ahead of him.

points. The team’s dominating third quarter was also an important point of reference after lacklustre final periods in earlier games. “For our team, it’s huge. The last couple of games, we were up in the third and lost it,” said Clark. “Our coach said we had to play with composure and not let them play. … It was important to us when you know the goalie isn’t playing good to keep peppering them with shots.”

The St. Thomas More Knights finished fourth at the B.C. high school AA girls’ soccer championships on Saturday. The Knights missed the bronze-medal, dropping the consolation final 1-0 to North Vancouver’s Windsor Dukes at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West after a heartbreaking loss in the semifinal Friday. After topping Pool A with a perfect 3-0 record through the preliminary round, STM fell 2-1 in overtime to Ballenas in the championship crossover match. The Knights led the Nanaimo-based school 10 off a corner header by Eleni Tolusso until late in the match, when a Ballenas counter in the last second of injury time sent the game to extra time. “Truthfully, (Ballenas) took the game over. (Vanessa) Campbell was sensational,” said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise of his goalie. Nanaimo took the lead early in the overtime, but Tolusso had an outstanding chance to tie, but her shot went off the inside post and across the goalmouth without going over the goal line. “This year, we played and worked hard, and sometimes you play a team and they play better than you,” Zavarise added. Zavarise said STM played its best game in a 3-1 win over Pitt Meadows to win the pool. Katrina Abel, who had six goals in the tournament, scored once, while Tolusso and Sarah Hughes also tallied. The Knights opened the championships with Campbell posting a 3-0 shutout over Valleyview on Thursday. Abel scored all three goals for the Burnaby independent school. Later in the day, STM outlasted 11th-hour standin Notre Dame 4-3, when the Prince George representative could not make

Anchors aweigh: Giovanni Trasolini, in black, anchored the St. Thomas More Knights 4x100 metre relay team to a gold medal at the B.C. Secondary Schools track and field championships on Saturday. The 6-3 sprinter qualified for the 100m final in a PB time of 11.37 before placing fourth overall in the Percy Williams final with a slightly slower time. He also finished seventh in the 200m final after qualifying in the zones with a sub-23 second clocking. “This meet wasn’t the same, but I’m happy with it,” said Trasolini. “We exceeded our

expectations. I thought we had a good chance in the 4x100. It was full of personal bests,” said STM coach Dave Mattiazzo. Among the PBs was Carney’s 11.67 time in the 100m, where he failed to qualify in 15th place. Another one came to senior Knight Luca Molinari, who finished his high school career with a pair of top-five finishes in field events. Molinari placed fifth in

the shot put with a heave of 13.43m. He also finished fourth in the hammer throw, a discipline he had first taken up only this season. Molinari’s throw of 47.54m was less than a metre from stepping onto the podium for a first time. “I got knocked off in the hammer on the last throw. I started hammer in January and got a personal best, I can’t com-

plain,” said Molinari, who will continue his track at Simon Fraser University next year. “It’s pride, that’s why I went (to STM). I went there to be an athlete.” Pam Ho had STM’s best individual showing, winning a bronze medal in the girls’ high jump with a personal-best leap of 1.60m. Ho missed a chance to compete for a second STM Page 29

Lakers clap Thunder in perfect scoring storm Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers scored its most emphatic win of the early Western Lacrosse Association season on Friday. The home Lakers ran the Langley Thunder ragged, handing them a 17-7 paddling at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Rookie righthander Colton Clark, who leads the team in shot percentage and shares the lead with Dane Stevens with 11 goals, tallied five times in an eight-point

outing to claim the game’s first star. Shaun Dhaliwal, in his first game back off a one-game suspension, tallied his first three goals of the year to claim the game’s second star. Transition runner Cam Bergman also played a star role, scoring the first of Burnaby’s two back-to-back shorthanded, goals late in the middle period which appeared to take a lot of wind out of the Thunder sails. The secondyear Laker also made two long assist passes for goals on break-

aways – the first to Clark on his first of two shorthanded markers in the first period, the second to Peter McFetridge on a four-onfour solo break in the final frame. The Lakers opened up the third period with six straight goals before the dispirited Thunder could manage a meager reply. Scott Lowe stopped 35 shots for the win in arguably his best outing in the Burnaby goal this season. “I’d give it to our defence, they played great,” said Clark, who leads the team in scoring with 23

TRACK AND FIELD

Lakers:

The future of track is up to the young Young up-and-comers gave notice of good things to come in B.C. high school track and field. Sophia Stevenson of Burnaby Central, Ahmad Nizamani of Burnaby South and St. Thomas More’s Malcolm Lee had solid showings at the 45th annual provincial meet at Swangard Stadium Saturday. Stevenson came from well back in the pack to win her heat and earn a bronze medal in the Grade 8 and 9 girls’ 800m. “Around the 200 mark I said, ‘I had to kick it’ if I wanted to win this race and I was shocked at how many people I passed,” said the Grade 8 Burnaby Strider club product. Mihailo Stefanovic was runner-up in the boys’ 100m hurdles, dominated by district runners, including Bogdan Pavel of New West (fourth), Nizamani (fifth) and Hyack Ethan Strome, who was sixth. Strome also placed fifth in the boys’ 200m. Nizamani also leapt 6.02 to win a silver medal in the juvenile long jump. Lee placed fourth in the boys’ 100m sprint. Notre

Dame’s Anthony DeLuca was fifth in the 400m. Strome said, more young athletes should get involved in track and field. “You need to get more people motivated to come out and try it. If you work at it, you can achieve great things,” he said. In the senior events, Jennifer Lam of Burnaby North was 14th in the high jump and 15th in the long jump. Justina Mayr of North placed 14th in the girls’ 400m. Colmar Satchwell of South finished 13th in the 400m, while Cameron Proceviat of Moscrop was 11th in the 800m. Travis Fraser of South placed 10th in the 1,500m and 15th in the 3,000m. Ali Nizamani of Burnaby Central came 11th in the 400m hurdles. Byrne Creek’s Sameer Aslami, Jerome Rosler, Kokil Pathmanathan and Alex Kim finished 14th in 4x400m relay qualifying. South’s Colmar, Fraser, Tim Kim and Matthew Martins were 16th. Kevin Lin of Central and Proceviat tied for 17th in the high jump at 1.70m. Joe Kamiya of South was 16th in the long jump.

A day later against the Coquitlam Adanacs, Burnaby lost the shotson-goal battle and the game 9-4 on Saturday. Scott Tinning tallied his seventh and eighth goals of the season, while Stevens and Trevor Moore were the only goal scorers in the final 20 minutes. Burnaby takes on the Victoria Shamrocks at home on Friday. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

the trip south. Abel led the Knights with two goals in a game STM never trailed. Tolusso and Samantha Drescher also scored. The Knights lose just five players to graduation this year. But with three outstanding Grade 11 players expected back and as many as seven younger players who filled in ably at this year’s AA’s, Zavarise believes STM will again be able to contend for a provincial championship berth. “The girls are already talking about next year,” he said.

JUNIOR A LACROSSE

Big third period rally settles not-so distant Thunder Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby got the goals and the stops when it needed them in a 10-8 comeback win over the Langley Thunder Sunday. Bryan Gillis and Jaxson Lee helped put together a five-goal third-period rally to draw to within two points of fifth place Langley. Richmond intermediate goalie Xander MacDonald made sure he did the rest. The 17-year-old Vancouver resident faced 38 shots in his callup with the junior Lakers, including 11 in the crucial final period to get his first junior A win. Burnaby, which improved its record to 3-6, overcame a 3-1 first-period deficit and three shorthanded goals that could have shaken the team’s confidence down the stretch. “The boys played hard and never gave up. Sometimes that’s the way the bounces go,” said Gillis, who scored both his goals, including the game-winner, in the final frame. Colton Dow led all Lakers with a six-point

night, including four goals on the power play. Lee also had a goal in the third in a six-point offering. Jackson Decker looked very effective for the Lakers, contributing five points to the win. “I feel we had the chances the whole game, but in the third period, we dominated and definitely controlled the play,” said Gillis, who played for Team England at the recent world indoor championships in the Czech Republic. “It a big win for the boys. We came out focussed and ready to go.” So too, did MacDonald, who is one of the leading goalies in the intermediate A league with an 82.42 save percentage. Trailing 5-2 at one point in the second period, Burnaby mounted a comeback on Dow’s hat-trick goal. A minute later, Decker followed up on another man-up situation, cutting the net and snapping a wicked ball from behind his back. Alex Millin then tied the score on a break off the

bench before the Thunder took the lead at the buzzer after a series of miscues at mid floor, and with the goalie heading to the bench for an extra attacker, led to an empty net counter. “I thought I got more and more into the game as it went on,” said MacDonald. “As soon as it got tight, I thought I began to play better.” Burnaby lost a close one 11-10 on Saturday in Victoria. Decker led the Lakers with four goals and one assist in his first game back from Limestone College and a run at the NCAA Div. II championship. Ryan Watson tallied a pair of late goals in a belated comeback rally that fell just short. Burnaby took on New Westminster at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines).

medal in the long jump due to a injury, but isn’t complaining. “I was super happy with (the high jump),” said the University of B.C.-bound Ho. “I was excited. It is Grade 12 and my last opportunity. I was definitely ready from the start.” STM’s sprint relay team of Daniella Falcone, Aryanna Ebrahimzadeh, Rachel Shuttleworth and Paige Llewellyn just missed qualifying with a 10th-place finish. Kamilla Wojchiewchowski was 10th in the girls’ shot put. Not lost in the final moments of the

meet were a handful of eager young Knights, who will likely have a lot to say when their time comes to make a mark. The Knights Grade 8 and 9 4x400m relay team of Noah Usherwood, Darthe Capellan, Chase Malcolm and Jordan McKenzie won a bronze medal, while STM’s B team of Malcolm Lee, Romeo Panghulan, Rashaun Rivers and Giordano Baldonero cheered them on enthusiastically after winning its heat to place ninth. “It’s in us. It’s part of us,” said Rivers, who placed seventh in the boys’ 200m. “It’s natural. It’s part of being a Knight.”

We receive no government funding, instead we operate from generous donations, support from local businesses and individuals in our community. We are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for abandoned and unwanted cats, dogs

and small animals. All of our animals are spayed/neutered and vaccinated etc. Prior to adoption. Since 2002, Action has saved countless lives and found forever homes for animals in our care. In 2005 Action for Animals created “Senior for Seniors” This program helps to save cats over 5 years of age to ﬁnd forever homes with senior citizens or those on disability. There is no

adoption fee and assistance with vet bills, food & other supplies is provided if required. Action in Distress Society functions through the tireless effort of volunteers who put their heart and soul into animal rescue. With all the heartbreak and stress that comes with the work, one may wonder why we do what we do. The following story is why.

My brother and I were thrown out in the trash because we had a severe skin disorder (demodex). It was cheaper for the breeders to wash their hands of us than treat us. We were both lucky to have been picked to go to Canada. We were originally fostered together but they needed to know if we were a bonded pair. At the time we were 6 months old and had been together our whole life. I did not miss him when he was gone but we had fun when we were together. We now live a city apart both in our forever homes. I have 2 older brothers who look out for me. My favourite thing to do is hike through the Paciﬁc Rim
