The event was even bigger than last year’s, with 401 teams participating, and 32 makeshift rinks at Metropolis, compared with 29 last year. “I think it was good,” said event organizer Jon Margolis, with Beyond Marketing Group Canada. Margolis estimates that about 3,000

An ad hoc group of parents is asking the premier and the provincial government to stop the Burnaby school district from adopting an anti-homophobia policy designed to protect staff and students from harassment. Parents’ Voice has collected roughly 4,900 petition signatures, calling for the B.C. government to stop the district from adopting the policy.

District considers Punjabi

School board gathers survey feedback on possibility of Punjabi classes at local school Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby elementary students may be learning Punjabi in class this fall. The Burnaby school district is considering offering a Punjabi language course for elementary students at Second Street Community School. The district has just received responses to a survey sent out to the school community to measure interest in studying Punjabi. “The board and the school district are very much in favour of language options,” said assistant superintendent Gina NiccoliMoen. If the program were to go ahead, students in grades 5 to 7 would be able to choose between Punjabi or French. “Our board is Punjabi would very responsive be offered as a language arts course, to the needs of with focus on the community. speaking the lanThe board listens guage, rather than to people, that’s writing. “It’ll be for the why we’re putting most part constructing simple it out there.” sentences and basic conversaGINA NICCOLI-MOEN tion,” said Niccoliassistant superintendent Moen. The district decided to explore the possibility of a Punjabi course after a community group raised the issue. “Our board is very responsive to the needs of the community,” she said. “The board listens to people, that’s why we’re putting it out there.” If there is enough interest, the course could start this September. The school board could be making a decision on the matter soon, possibly at the next meeting on June 14. Burnaby was one of the first districts in the province to introduce Mandarin at the elementary level, which was offered as a language arts program for kindergarten kids at Forest Grove Elementary. Burnaby secondary students can study a myriad of languages: Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Punjabi and American sign language, for example. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Very sweet on the Canucks Sugar sculpture includes a pintsized hockey player, an orca and plenty of blue and green

Sweet stuff: Local

pastry chef Christophe Bonzon heeded the NOW’s call for reader fan photos celebrating the Canucks playoff run with this shot of a sugar sculpture he created in honour of the team. The intricate work took more than 30 hours to create. Bonzon trained in Switzerland and France and has worked in Australia.

Christina Myers staff reporter

Forget flags and face-painting: When it comes to backing up the hometown team, a local pastry chef has a unique twist on showing off his fan pride. Christophe Bonzon, a Swiss-trained confectioner, has a “sweet” spot for the Vancouver Canucks – and he spent more than 30 hours putting together an 80-centimetre-tall sugar sculpture in honour of the team’s run in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Bonzon said he “fell in love” with sugar and chocolate during his apprenticeship in Europe. “I was amazed to discover that we can create anything from a few kilos of these ingredients, thus transforming it into an amazing creation,” he told the NOW. In the last nine years, he estimates that he’s created at least 100 hundred such show pieces. Bonzon trained and worked in France and Switzerland, and then, along with his Canadian-born wife, moved to Australia, where he worked for one of the top pastry shops in Perth. After a few years there, they decided to make their home in B.C. Bonzon says creating the sugar sculptures, which have a glass-blown effect, involves detailed sketches before getting started with the sugar. Then, the sugar is cast, blown, pulled and otherwise manipulated – including hand-painted details – to create the final piece. He notes that the individual sculptures can be made to a customer’s unique specifications, making them ideal for custom purposes and personal events. For more pictures of his sculpture, along with other fan photos sent in by local readers, see our online photo gallery, Feeling the Fever, on www.burnabynow.com.

Chaffey-Burke School gets funding for new rainforest mural

include recognizing the rights of all parents and children – not just special interest groups and their unions.” Clark has already publicly stated that she will not get involved in the controversy. Parents’ Voice was formed in opposition to the school board’s draft policy to protect students and staff from homophobic bullying. The group, however, maintains that the policy privileges gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual and queer students, while jeopardizing freedom of religious expression and parents’ rights to morally educate their children. According to the group’s media statement, Parents’ Voice wants to know how the policy will be implemented and what kind of punishment students will face if they do not “conform to the opinion endorsed by the policy.” The school board extended the public input period on the draft policy and made some changes after collecting more feedback. The revised policy will not be made public till the next school board meeting on June 14, where trustees will likely vote on the finalized version. Parents’ Voice plans to boycott that meeting. “Parents’ Voice believes that it is a waste of time to attend any additional Burnaby public school board meetings when the Burnaby trustees are willfully deaf and blind to valid parent and student concerns,” the group stated.

CEO still hopeful about SFU gondola Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

While Gordon Harris is empathetic about Forest Grove residents’ concerns, he believes a gondola to Simon Fraser University is still one of the best transit options for the Burnaby Mountain community. “If I was a Forest Grove resident, I’d be concerned,” said the president and CEO of the SFU Community Trust, adding he feels empathy for the residents who say they don’t have enough information or that the project is being pushed through. Harris spoke to the NOW last week after the trust had declined to comment at the end of May for an article that ran on June 1. This was following public consultations held by TransLink in Burnaby where Forest Grove residents expressed concern about the line running over their homes, which they worried could devalue properties. “Time will tell the extent of that concern,” Harris said. “As time moves on, I’d like to think people will become more comfortable with the project.” He added that neither the trust nor TransLink is trying to make this project happen quickly. TransLink is just engaging in public consultations at this point to see if the gondola idea is worth pursuing. “They don’t even have a design as of yet,” he pointed out. The trust still stands behind the Evergreen Line as a priority project for the region, he said. “We’re perfectly happy waiting our turn,” he said. But the UniverCity community at the top of the mountain would be well-served by a gondola, he said. The trust is in charge of overseeing

the UniverCity community development project. UniverCity was designed to be a transit-oriented community, he explained, with 40 per cent of residents using transit services. So accessible transit is a major issue for the mountain community, he added. “If you live or work on Burnaby Mountain, you’re incredibly vulnerable to winter conditions,” Harris said. According to Ken Hardie, spokesperson for TransLink, the response from the recent public consultations was mixed. Feedback is still being collected until June 30, Hardie said, so there isn’t a decision on whether or not to go ahead at this point. “There is a strong business case – that hasn’t changed,” he said, adding it still needs to be determined whether the cost of the gondola system would be worthwhile compared with the current transit buses running up the mountain. The cost of the proposed budget for the project increased from $69 million – which was indicated by the initial feasibility study conducted by the Community Trust years ago – to $120 million. The new amount is a much more realistic and current assessment, he added. A three-rope gondola system – like the Peak 2 Peak gondola on Whistler Mountain – was the one recommended by the business case study. The recommended route was the one that would run from Production Way SkyTrain Station to the campus. The gondola would run about 40 metres above the ground and tree canopy, over the Forest Grove neighbourhood, according to TransLink. The deadline for feedback is June 30. More information, and feedback forms, is available at http://bit.ly/eNWTtX.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Treat passengers with respect Dear Editor:

While I generally appreciate the work the SkyTrain security and police officers do to keep us safe in our travels, I feel the need to highlight the importance of hiring people suitable to this kind of work. Last week, I boarded an eastbound train at Metrotown, and at the same time, a young woman of South Asian descent boarded the train and began approaching people, saying she was hungry, and asking for money. Just before the doors of the train closed, a SkyTrain police officer hopped onto the train. He immediately began yelling at the woman

– words to the effect of: “haven’t we told you before you can’t do this? You don’t listen, that’s why you have to go to court and talk to a judge. You don’t get it, do you?” The officer used a loud voice and had a demeaning tone toward the woman, which was completely unnecessary, as she ceased the behaviour immediately when he started yelling at her. It was obvious that the woman had some kind of special needs, which made the officer’s behaviour even more reprehensible. Further, it was completely unprofessional to violate the young woman’s privacy by disclosing her legal issues. As the officer had told the woman that she was getting “kicked off” the train at the next stop, I

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Beverly Bouma, Burnaby

Policy is necessary

Dear Editor:

An open letter to the Burnaby board of education: I am writing this letter to sincerely applaud the Burnaby school district for being the 13th in our province to develop a policy on addressing homophobia and heterosexism in the city’s public school system. I speak to you as a former student of the Burnaby school district, a current resident of Burnaby and a registered social worker in the province of British Columbia.

Hossein Kia, Burnaby

HST: Remember the Socreds continued from page 6

correct to be dubious about the tax cuts actually occurring. But skepticism aside, it is certainly true governments of all political stripes have monkeyed with the sales tax over the years, so one can’t simply rule out the Clark government doing the same. In fact, if she really does follow through with that 2014 rate cut, that will mark the 12th time since the tax was introduced in 1948 that a government has changed the rate (which started out at just three per cent). So perhaps Clark will surprise the skeptics (assuming the HST survives the referendum) and

follow through on her promise. Goodness knows politicians can spring surprises when it comes to taxes. The HST is a perfect example of that. However, in B.C. political history there is another great example of a tax surprise, and it’s one that is not just incredibly rich in irony but also parallels the introduction of the HST. Back in 1987, the Social Credit government brought in the property transfer tax, which adds almost $10,000 to a house that costs a little more than $525,000 (a tax hit, by the way, that dwarfs the financial impact most people will experience with the HST). The tax has become

lucrative to governments – it provides more than $800 million a year – but is hurtful to homebuyers, and makes already expensive homes even costlier. Here’s the parallel to the HST: the tax was introduced just after the 1986 election campaign, during which the Socreds never breathed a word of the hit they were about to unleash on homebuyers. And here’s the irony: the premier who brought in the property transfer tax was none other than Bill Vander Zalm, who is leading the Fight HST group. You can’t make this stuff up! Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

quietly took him aside and spoke to him in a low tone, advising that it would be better for everyone present if he would behave in a respectful manner towards people on the SkyTrain. At that point, the officer continued in a loud voice that he was “tired of dealing with her crap” or words to that effect. I was even more shocked at this extreme unprofessionalism, and I asked the officer to identify himself. He did not show me any ID, and stated only a series of letters and numbers as an identifier. I have since written to TransLink asking them to address the incident, but I don’t have confidence that it will be appropriately resolved. I believe that it is important for us to stand up for those able when we see this type of abysmal behaviour by others, especially those – such as this officer – who are in a position of authority and should know better.

As a past student of the Burnaby school district and a current resident of Burnaby, I recognize firsthand the need for our city’s public schools to ensure the safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students. Having first disclosed my sexual identity at the age of 14, I was aware that I would receive little in the way of formal support or protection from my school as a gay youth. I quickly learned to rely on informal allegiances with friends to keep myself from experiencing homophobic attacks by other students and often feared having few options for recourse in the event of encountering threats or other discriminatory behaviour in school. Though I am thankful for the close network of allies who helped me survive my many challenging days as a student, I believe strongly in the responsibility of the school system, and not the goodwill of students, for safeguarding the well-being of LGBT youth in the city’s public schools. In addressing this policy as a practising social worker, I am confident in supporting formal measures intended to ensure the safety and support of LGBT students and staff in Burnaby’s public schools. Though some may argue that such a policy may not be required, I wish to counter this claim by drawing your attention to a recent Canada-wide study on school homophobia conducted by EGALE, a Canadian human rights organization. This study revealed that on a daily basis, 70 per cent of students in Canadian public schools hear homophobic expressions from other students, and 10 per cent hear comparable remarks from teachers.

Can creek be resurrected? Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A group of volunteer streamkeepers is hoping an upper section of Byrne Creek will finally see the light of day now that Safeway has put a swath of land up for sale. “This could be a golden opportunity for Safeway and potential developers to walk the talk and promote true corporate social responsibility and greening,” said Paul Cipywnyk, of the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers. Safeway is selling about 42 acres of land in South Burnaby, right next to Byrne Creek Secondary. The property is between 11th and 14th avenues and from 15th to 18th streets, a space covering roughly eight square city blocks. According to Cipywnyk, the area used to be a thriving wetland, with frogs, dragonflies and wildlife, but the creek was run through underground pipes so the land could be developed.

For years, the streamkeepers have wanted to “daylight” that section of creek by bringing it to the surface again. “When I saw the news that Safeway is selling that property, I thought, ‘Wow, what an opportunity,’” Cipywnyk said. The City of Burnaby has the area listed as multifamily residential in its official community plan, and Cipywnyk said water features, like creeks, often increase the value of residential property. Also, the streamkeepers are not asking for big buffer zones around the creek, they just want it visible to increase awareness that the waterway runs through the neighbourhood. “A lot of the pollution impacts in the creek come from that upper Edmonds area,” Cipywnyk said. Thanks to people apparently dumping chemicals down storm drains, the creek’s fish population has been threatened and completely wiped out in the past. “A lot of people don’t realize that all the drains on the streets connect to the creek,” Cipywnyk added.

Cops seek suspect in swimming pool assault

Burnaby RCMP are looking for a man they say sexually assaulted a young teen boy at the Eileen Dailly Pool in North Burnaby over the weekend. According to police, the man approached the boy on Sunday and struck up a conversation with him. During the conversation, the man touched the boy in an inappropriate sexual manner while in the pool. Police say the man had had conversations with the boy in the past.

The suspect is described as age 45 to 55, dark-skinned with a large nose and grey hair with a bald spot on top of his head. He has a medium build and “a bit of a tummy.” At the time of the assault, he was wearing red swim trunks. Anyone with information that could assist police in the investigation is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). – Brent Richter

Man stabbed at city SkyTrain station RCMP in Burnaby are looking for suspects following a stabbing at Holdom SkyTrain station on Saturday night. According to an RCMP press release, an intoxicated man was walking into the SkyTrain station just after midnight when he passed by a couple in the midst of an argument. The victim was laughing at “nothing in particular,” but the man in the argument took offence. As the man in the argument passed by the victim, he said something, and the victim felt what he thought was a punch. He later discovered after boarding his train that he had in fact been stabbed.

The victim then took himself to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released. The suspect is described as being in his early 20s, about 5-5, wearing “gangstertype” clothing. The only description of the woman in the argument is that she is about the same age. Police are now asking the public for more information that may help identify the male suspect or his female companion. Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or B.C. Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). – Brent Richter

Keeping your mind, body and spirit active could have a multitude of health benefits, according to Dorothy Leclair of the Burnaby Alzheimer Resource Centre. Leclair is scheduled to provide an Introduction to Brain Health workshop at the McGill branch of the Burnaby Public Library tomorrow (Thursday, June 16). “We know that people are really aware that they need to do things to keep their brains in shape,” she said in a phone interview, adding that the workshop will give tips on how to keep the brain active with new learning. But she also made it clear that maintaining an active mind is not guaranteed to ward off dementia. “People would love to know what they can do to prevent it,” she said. “We can’t tell them that.” Researchers are working on the issue, but studies have not yet been conclusive. “It’s like we’re gathering all the pieces of a jigsaw,” she explained, “but it’s not making a clear picture yet.” But the hope is that keeping the mind, body and spirit healthy could help people lower the risks of many diseases, from diabetes to Alzheimer’s, a type of dementia, Leclair added. “We just know all these little bits have an effect on physical health, so why wouldn’t they have an effect on mental health?” she said. Exercising and eating well, engaging the mind, and keeping one’s spirit healthy as well should have an overall effect on the body, according to Leclair. She defines a healthy spirit as one with healthy relationships and community connections. “People who take care of the spirit, who stay connected to other people, tend to thrive,” Leclair said. In addition to strategies and goals for improving brain health, Leclair will also be discussing dementia and its impact on caregivers as well as those diagnosed. The workshop takes place at the McGill branch at 4595 Albert St., on Thursday, June 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The workshop is free, but those interested in attending are asked to pre-register online at www.bpl.bc.ca/events, at the library, or by calling 604-299-8955. Anyone interested in hosting a presentation can contact the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C. For more information, go to www.alzheimerbc.org.

Songwriting workshop set for teens Local teens are being invited to learn about songwriting – and enjoy an outdoor concert while they’re at it. The Burnaby Public Library is offering a free workshop for teens on songwriting, as well as an outdoor concert. It’s all set to take place at the Metrotown library branch on June 24 from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

The workshop will be led by singersongwriter Gillian Hobbs, who released her debut album in 2008 and also performed at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It will give participants a chance to learn the ABCs of songwriting and learn the essentials about structuring a song. The workshop is open to all teens – par-

ticipants don’t have to bring an instrument or even know how to play one. After the workshop, Hobbs will offer a live performance in Civic Square, along with Ready Steady Go – a local teen skarock band who have been playing around the Lower Mainland for the past seven years. The workshop takes place in the pro-

gram room at 4 p.m., with the concert starting at 6 p.m. in Civic Square. Pizza will be provided for those taking the workshop. The workshop is free, but space is limited, so pre-registration is required. Register online at www.bpl.bc.ca/events or call 604-297-4803. www.twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Community bike fair is back at Second Street HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

f you have kids who like bikes, make sure you get out to the community bike fair, organized by local mom Tammy Ozero. The festival is on June 17, from 5 to 8 p.m., at Second Street Community School. There is a bike trick show at 7 p.m., a balancing and obstacle course, races, bike deco-

rating activities, minor bike repairs available, a live band and prizes. (The grand prize is a bike.) As always, the event is free. Second Street Community School is at 7502 Second St. A few years back, Ozero started the fair with money from the small grants program at the South Burnaby Neighbourhood House, and she’s been organizing the annual event ever since. It’s always a hit with the kids, so don’t miss it.

Walk for water

Women and children in an India village will no

longer have to walk kilometres a day for water, thanks to students at Buckingham Elementary. The students raised enough money to furnish a school and install a well in a Indian village. As an exercise in empathy, they also held a “Water Walk,” where they carried empty water jugs to Burnaby’s Deer Lake. Once there, they filled the jugs and carried them back to the school to measure how much water was collected to see if they could sustain their “Buckingham Village” for the day. In all, they collected 848 litres – only enough to sustain the

school for half a day, so the students would have had to make two trips. The whole school participated, and some students found it challenging. “They said it was hard work and they wouldn’t want to do it every day,” said school secretary Cathy Geipel.

Budding artists

Two Marlborough Elementary students won the provincewide Terry Fox poster contest. Megan Lai and Jessica Hu designed the first-place submission that will be printed and distributed across B.C. to participants

in the annual Marathon of Hope fundraiser. Terry’s parents, Betty and Rolly Fox, chose the poster because they felt it best represented their son’s message and vision for the marathon.

Youth achievers

Kudos to Burnaby North Secondary student Aliya Dossa, the firstplace winner for the Maple Leaf Awards, an annual celebration designed to honour youth achievement and encourage engaged citizenship. The Canadian Club of Vancouver organizes the awards, open to youth

across B.C. Four winners were announced on May 18, and Aliya nabbed the top spot. The Grade 11 student is co-founder and co-president of Youth 4 Tap, an environmental push to reduce plastic bottle waste. Besides that, she’s an executive member of the Youth Sustainability Network and has volunteered for causes like Cash for Cancer, Japan earthquake and tsunami relief efforts, World Vision and Project Hunger. She also writes for Youthink magazine. Got an item for Here & Now? Send ideas to Jennifer, jmoreau@burnabynow.com.

Star on the rise: James O’Callaghan, who’s graduating with a bachelor of fine arts from Simon Fraser University, is already making his name as a composer.

SFU grad is a rising star He’s only just now graduating from Simon Fraser University, but James O’Callaghan is already making waves in his chosen field. O’Callaghan is graduating with a bachelor of fine arts from SFU at the university’s convocation today (June 15). The 23-year-old is a rising star in the world of composition, writing for orchestras, chamber ensembles and more. He has already seen his first four orchestral compositions premiered by professional orchestras – two by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The VSO most recently performed Mouths, a five-minute piece in which a single viola plays a middle C note that expands outward, incorporating other instruments as the music increases. The Victoria Symphony Orchestra performed two other pieces by O’Callaghan, including The Earth, Split Open, which he describes as “a meditation on the fragility of the earth beneath our feet.” O’Callaghan uses sketches, computer software and sometimes guitar strumming to interweave sounds, visuals and music into auditory visions for orchestras, cham-

ber musicians, electro-acoustic recordings and films. “I’m constantly looking for new ways to make music about something beyond just sounding interesting,” O’Callaghan says. “Often I’m exploring how I can use classical instruments to imitate environmental recordings.” He recently wrote a piece for eight musicians – the instrumental translation of sirens, truck horns and a busking saxophonist – that was performed at the Vancouver Art Gallery’s rotunda on June 7. He has also created a piano score for poet Shannon Rayne’s What Remains. A singer and pianist will perform the piece on June 19 at Art Song Lab 2011, at SFU Woodward’s Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre. (See www.bccreativehub.com for more.) O’Callaghan will pursue his master’s degree in music at McGill University, with $20,000 in scholarships. David MacIntyre, one of O’Callaghan’s professors, says his talent is unique. “We’ve had many award-winning young composers come through our program over the last 30 years,” he said. “But James is a real standout.”

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “cone zone.“ WorkSafeBC.com

Alfie Lau

hairose ShamjiKarmali has known the highs and lows of life. In her previous life as a corporate trainer – based in Toronto, but posted to Bangalore, India – she was climbing the corporate ladder. But her marriage was falling apart and she came to the West Coast to start a new life. She met Karim Karmali, and the two fell in love, living in a small 400square-foot basement suite so they could save money. Shairose also started frequenting a local eatery, the Safari Snack House at 5121 Canada Way, and she liked the food and atmosphere so much that she asked the owners if she could work there. For the next 18 months, Shairose – she insists on everybody going by their first name – learned from the owner, Parviz, and the chef, Nicki. Shairose liked it so much that earlier this year, when Parviz wanted to retire, she bought the place and has been running it successfully ever since. “We just added the grill, and that means we can serve even more dishes,” said a bubbly Shairose. “We’ve been pretty busy.” So busy in fact that when a recent emergency call came in, Shairose and her staff were able to mobilize very quickly. “A couple of Saturdays ago, a caterer wrote down the wrong date for a wedding, and I got a call asking if we could do 200 kababs, 200 samosas and

Safari: Samosas, meatballs and more continued from page 15

Snack House and Grill – which I was tipped off to by fellow reporter Jennifer Moreau, a lunch regular. On a beautiful spring day, I sat down with Shairose, originally from Uganda, and Karim, originally from Tanzania, and watched them serve a steady stream of satisfied customers. Karim is so supportive of his wife that even after finishing his normal job, he’s taking orders, picking up supplies and doing whatever Shairose needs him to do. “This is like a family to me,” said Shairose as she hugs Nicki. “Nicki’s like my sister here. She’s been here more than 14 years, and she makes some of the best food.” I couldn’t argue with that when Nicki’s kababs came out, with the mogo cassava fries and Ismailia Bhajia potatoes on the side. “Our meat balls are crispy and made with a special recipe,” said Shairose. “They’re very dark because that’s how we make them back in Africa.” The meat is crispy, with a tinge of spiciness, and they are almost perfectly round, a testament to Nicki’s culinary skill. The cassava fries were tasty, a healthy alternative to French fries, while the thinly sliced potatoes fried in chick pea batter were very flavourful. The next dish I try is the halibut, or masala fish, which was one of the daily

specials. “It sold out by 1:30 p.m.,” said Shairose. “That’s why everybody’s looking at it when they pass by.” The halibut was very nicely seasoned – and, yes, I had to protect my fish because a steady stream of pickup customers invariably asked Shairose if there was any more available. “We have a lot of loyal customers, and that’s been good for business,” she said. “It is one of our most popular dishes, and once we’re sold out for the day, we mark it off the board.” The next dish I try comes with a lot of advance praise, as Safari’s take-out menu calls them “the best samosas in town.” I tried all three varieties, with my favourite, the beef being crispier and juicier than any samosa I’ve ever had. “All of our samosas are made fresh each day,” Shairose said, pointing to Gulshan, who sits quietly by the kitchen making the samosas for Geta to fry up. My last dish, and quite possibly my favourite, was the assortment of meats cooked on Safari’s new grill. “We just added the grill, and it’s already been very popular,” said Shairose. Safari Snack House is located at 5121 Canada Way. It’s open daily (except Tuesday) from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Special catering orders are accepted on Tuesday though.

Voice of Burnaby OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION IN BURNABY

www.bbot.ca

BBOT Spotlight BBOT Maintains Neutral Stance on HST Changes The future of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be decided via a mail-in referendum. The Burnaby Board of Trade has maintained that there are arguments both in favour of and against harmonizing the GST and PST, and that its member organizations need to carefully weigh the pros and cons before reaching their own opinion on the matter. The Honourable Kevin Falcon, Minister of Finance announced changes to the HST to address the strong public reaction to the tax. The proposed changes would reduce costs for consumers by lowering the HST to 10 per cent in two steps starting July 1st, 2012. Regardless of your position on the HST, a lower tax burden on consumers would be beneficial for the Burnaby business community, says Paul Holden, President & CEO of the BBOT. “Due to the diverse nature of our membership, the HST has so far had both positive and negative impacts on Burnaby businesses,” Holden says. “However, the changes proposed yesterday offer something that everyone can benefit from. We encourage our membership to consider the proposed changes and to carefully research the implications of the possible referendum outcomes and vote accordingly.” The HST mail-in referendum runs from June 13 to July 22.

Local Businesses Increase Exposure at BCB Trade Show MEGAN KAPTEIN megan@bbot.ca

The 6th Annual Business Creating Business (BCB) Trade Show, presented by the Burnaby Board of Trade and Burnaby Now, allowed local businesses to gain exposure and expand their networks in a comfortable and interactive setting at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre on May 17th. The show was the most well attended BCB Trade Show to date, and featured exhibitors from a range of industries, reflecting the diverse membership of the BBOT.

/7 support

“It was a great event and we met lots of Burnaby business operators and attendees! It was very informative and a great B2B networking opportunity,” said Brenda Smith, Executive Marketing Manager at the Grand Villa Casino, whose booth added an element of entertainment to the trade show by providing the opportunity for participants to try their hand at Blackjack between networking. Jens Nilausen of JN - International Consulting Services

walked away from the event with a handful of new connections and also an Xbox 360 game console donated by EA Games, one of the many door prizes offered at the show. “The trade show was a very positive event for me because of the variety of potential connections that were represented,” stated Nilausen. “The BBOT’s event was a very successful venue for local businesses to expose the community at large to their products.” Attendees also had the

opportunity to meet the BBOT’s new CEO Paul Holden and benefit from his expertise in print media advertising. Throughout the afternoon he offered one-onone consultations for advertising and strategies for approaching news media about their business or products. The BBOT thanks presenting sponsor Burnaby NOW, media sponsor Business in Vancouver, and sponsor The Portables for their support of the trade show.

WHEELS Deals CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Something my wife does drives me crazy, and I want to get your support before pointing it out to her. Our driveway is approximately 60 feet long and uphill. It’s fairly steep for three-quarters of the run, then it flattens out at the top. My wife insists on backing up the driveway to park so she can go forward down the driveway in the morning. I think that backing up is harder on the transmission than driving up forward. Currently, we are experiencing signs of transmission issues on our 2004 Volvo

XC90 T6, which I’ve found are common with this particular car. But could my wife be exacerbating the issue or causing it directly by backing up the driveway every evening? Thanks for your wise counsel. – Jackson TOM: I’m glad you wrote to us, Jackson. That way, we can stop you from humiliating yourself in front of your wife. RAY: And instead allow you to humiliate yourself in front of the whole country. TOM: It’s unlikely that your wife had anything to do with your transmission problem – unless she’s backing up 60 miles a day instead of 60 feet. RAY: In which case, she’d have a transmission problem and a stiff neck. TOM: Reverse gear is basically the same as any other gear, in an automatic transmission, Jackson. In

most cases, it’s made of the same metal and uses the same hardening process. And in many automatics, reverse actually is not a separate gear. The transmission just uses an internal clutch or a brake to make one of the forward gears go backward. RAY: Some manufacturers may choose to save a little money on their reverse gear by not making it quite so high-quality, or by not putting it through so rigorous a testing regimen. Why? Because it doesn’t need to perform as well as the forward gears. TOM: Right. Reverse never has to be “slammed into” at 6,000 r.p.m. It’s always engaged at idle. And it never has to mesh perfectly at 5,000 r.p.m. Most people rarely go above 1,000 r.p.m. or 2,000 r.p.m. in reverse. RAY: The vast majority of Transmission Page 28

ICBC has launched an app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that lets new drivers practise the driving road knowledge test before taking the real test. The ICBC licensing mobile practice knowledge test can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and also includes the complete Learn to Drive

Transmission: Reverse not an issue continued from page 27

the time, reverse goes completely unused. When given a choice, most people prefer to go forward. TOM: Compare the mileage you’ve driven in reverse with how far you’ve driven in the forward gears. You say your driveway is 60 feet long and your wife backs up it every evening. If she’s done that 365 days a year since the car was new in 2004, she’ll have gone a total of 29 miles in reverse by now. Compare that with how many forward miles you have on the car: 60,000? 90,000? 120,000? RAY: So the use of reverse is almost insignificant in the life of the transmission. TOM: What’s much more significant is how hard

you drive the car – whether you stomp on the gas and do jackrabbit starts, and whether you shift from drive to reverse or vice versa while the car is still moving. RAY: And probably most significant, in your case, are the design and manufacture of the transmission, and the match between the engine and transmission We know Volvo has had trouble with the XC90 T6 transmission from your year, and I’m guessing it’s because the transmission can’t handle the torque that this turbocharged engine puts out. TOM: So you should see if your Volvo dealer will take pity on you and help you fix this, Jackson. That’s definitely the per-

son to discuss this with, rather than your wife. Right now you’ve got a transmission problem. If you blame it on your wife, you’ll have a transmission problem and a marital problem. ◆ Keep your car on the road and out of the repair shop by ordering Tom and Ray’s pamphlet, Ten Ways You May Be Ruining Your Car Without Even Knowing It!

Juniors hit bottom with Sunday loss

Infielder named to allfreshman team

Frustration reaches new low, says Laker runner Tom Berridge

sports editor

Giving up is not in the junior A Burnaby Lakers’ vocabularly, said one third-year runner following Sunday’s 12-5 loss to Nanaimo. The defeat, arguably the Jr. Lakers most disappointing outing of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season this year, was a definite low point for the 3-8 club at a midway point in the season. “It just seems like all this frustration, not just the players but the coaching staff, too, has reached a whole new level,” said Blake Mattinson, following a long players’ meeting in the dressing room after the match. “We need to find a way to find that chemistry and play lacrosse.” Mattinson, who first played with the Burnaby juniors in 2009, remembers well how that squad turned around a poor 1-7 start to the season to finish in fourth place with a winning record. That ’09 Lakers’ team then took the highly favoured league champion Coquitlam team to five games before bowing out of the first-round of playoffs. But Mattinson knows this season might not be a quick fix. “We had these discussions (earlier this season), and nothing really changed in our practices. I think we’re going to make some changes. Our leaders are going to talk to the coaching staff and say these are

Burnaby. The win gave the 4-8-0 Nanaimo club the edge in its three-game series with the Lakers. “We needed to win the series. It’s going to be a close (season),” said Fendick. “But in the third period, they didn’t seem they wanted to be there.” The next two weeks will be a telling time for Burnaby’s playoff fortunes.

Burnaby’s Alex Calbick was one of three University of Maine baseball players named to the Louisville Slugger freshman AllAmerican team on June 8. Calbick, a Burnaby South grad and third baseman with the Maine Black Bears, hit .280 this season, scoring 30 runs and knocking in another 30 while starting in 56 of 57 games for the NCAA Division 1 program. He had nine doubles and five home runs, as well as one triple over that span. Calbick went two-forthree with a run scored and five RBI, including a grand slam home run, in Maine’s 8-1 win over Stony Brook in the America East tournament. Following the conference playoffs, Calbick was named to the Amercia East second team, while also earning a spot on the allconference rookie team. He was also named to the America East all-tournament team. At the NCAA regional playdowns on June 4, Calbick had two hits, including a double, and scored a run to help Maine defeat Florida International 4-1. The win was the 1,800th in program history for

the issues. We can’t afford to go any lower than this,” Mattinson added. Sunday’s game had an ominous beginning, with the Timbermen taking the first period 3-0 despite both teams tied with 14 shots apiece. Nanaimo extended its lead to 6-1, forcing a goalie change in the Burnaby nets midway through the second period. Burnaby finally began to find the back of the net but still trailed by three

goals after two. Perhaps surprisingly Burnaby appeared to have little left to give in the third period and Nanaimo took control of the final frame, outscoring the home team 4-0. “We knew we had to do this. We really needed this one,” said 21-yearold Nanaimo runner Joey Fendick, who tallied his second and third goals of the game in the final period. “We just played really

hard off the start. We knew we had to do this – crush them from the start.” Although the shots were all but even in the contest, the quality of scoring chances was not. Nanaimo kept the Burnaby shooters mostly to the outside all game long, and when they did venture inside, T-Men goalie Devon Winters was more than up to the task. Patrick Bayliss and Jeremy Funk both struggled at the other end for

The Burnaby Lakers goal of a top-three finish in the Western Lacrosse Association took a bit of a setback after back-to-back losses. The senior A Lakers saw comeback rallies against both the Victoria Shamrocks and the Langley Thunder fall short this weekend. Burnaby fell 9-7 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre to the Shamrocks on Friday. The following day, the Lakers dropped

a 7-5 matchup to the Thunder at the Langely Events Centre. At home, Burnaby opened up with a 4-0 start, including four goals in a two-minute span midway through the period. But following a goalie change, Victoria’s backup keeper Matt Flindell stole some of the momentum away and the Shamrocks scored five ananswered counters to take the lead. The first-place ‘Rocks maintained the advantage the rest of the way, although Burnaby fought back to get to within a single goal late in the game on

goals by Trevor Moore and third star Shaun Dhaliwal. “We had one bad half, and that’s what killed us,” said Dhaliwal, whose second goal of the game shaved the deficit to 8-7. Moore led the Lakers with a hat trick, scoring a goal in each of the three periods. Rookie keeper Dan Lewis, who has yet to record a win in the Burnaby nets this season, did well in his start against Victoria, stopping 36 shots. He also came off the bench to start the second period in Langley, allowing just

three goals on 28 shots to give his team a chance of winning. Lewis currently sits fourth among WLA goalies, with an 8.38 goals against average and a .805 save percentage. Last season, the team’s goal was to make the playoffs. But even though the team failed to do that, its final 6-12 record was felt by most league watchers to be an overachievement, said Dhaliwal. “But every single guy in the dressing room knows we can be in the top three, and that’s what we want. But we have to beat the Langleys, the Maple Ridges and

the Nanaimos,” Dhaliwal added. In Langley, Burnaby failed to do that, falling behind 4-0 after the opening 20 minutes despite third-star goalkeeping from Lewis through the second and third periods. Former Burnaby junior keeper Brodie MacDonald, who was bombed 17-7 in the first meeting between the two teams at the Copeland centre a week ago, was the game’s second star. MacDonald stopped 40 shots to register his first WLA win. WLA Page 32

SOCCER

Central suspended from boys’ provincials for next two seasons Howard Tsumura The Province

B.C. School Sports laid down the law on three boys’ varsity soccer programs. North Delta, Dr. Charles Best and Burnaby Central secondary schools were all banned for the next two seasons from appearing in the B.C. Senior Boys’ Soccer championships. North Delta and Charles Best were issued their suspensions resulting from a brawl that erupted earlier this month following Best’s

overtime win against North Delta in the B.C. Triple A final at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex in May. B.C. School Sports added that Burnaby Central was also suspended from tournament play the next two seasons, stemming from a separate incident. Back in November, Central was removed from the boys’ provincials after qualifying in the zones with ineligible players. Central students became involved in a replayed zone final that involved Burnaby South. The three programs

would all be eligible to return to championship competition for the 201314 season, at which time they would each be begin three years of probationary status. Burnaby Central principal Roberto Bombelli confirmed he had spoken with persons at the soccer commission and had followed up in writing, asking what process was used to reach their decsion. “It was a surprise to us,” said Bombelli. With files from tber ridge@burnabynow.com.

Goalie picked for Para soccer squad Ross MacDonald of Burnaby was named to Canada’s Para soccer team on June 12. MacDonald, who has been a fixture of the Canadian wheelchair basketball program since 1998, was brought on board as goalkeeper at the most recent national Para soccer team selection camp held in Surrey from May 17 to 22. This Saturday, Canada will face Finland in the first of three group matches at the Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association world championships held in Drenthe, Netherlands. Canada will also play the Ukraine on June 20 and Scotland on June 22. The 16-team Para soccer championships runs

until July 1. Eight teams from the competition will qualify for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. MacDonald was a member of Canada’s Para soccer team that failed to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He made his national team debut in wheelchair basketball at the world championships as a junior in 1998. MacDonald remained in the national wheelchair basketball development program from 2000 to 2008, before once again earning selection to the national team for the worlds last year, where Canada placed fifth overall.

With five games scheduled in the next 12 days, all against the bottom four clubs, this would be the time, if any, to turn the tables on a quickly spiralling setback to the season. “We definitely haven’t given up,” said Mattinson, who led the Lakers with two goals in a three-point night. “We need to come together and build

that camaraderie we had in the past. From a player’s perspective, we haven’t given up on anything.” Burnaby played in Langley on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines).

sports editor

Moscrop Panthers head football coach Craig Bymoen played his younger brother Cole to a draw in a spring scrimmage on Saturday. Cole, who is the head coach of Valleyview Vikings football program, outscored the Tier II varsity Panthers four touchdowns to two, while Craig’s firstyear junior varsity team turned the tables on the visiting AA Kamloops school, taking the opening scrimmage by the same 4-2 score at Moscrop field. “The day went awesome. We did really well,” said Craig, whose JV team had just two of the 27member squad with any prior football experience. The senior Moscrop team was in a similar spot, fielding just eight experienced players against Valleyview, which had 23 players with three or four seasons of high school ball behind them. Moscrop plays in the Tier II varsity league. The JVs will compete in the AA Western Conference. “We had so many good plays. But we still have a lot of work to do,”Craig said. The varsity Panthers will have four exhibition games to prepare before

the game will go directly to the British Columbia Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association. Tulis founded the Burnaby-based Roman Tulis European Soccer School of Excellence, the first full-time program of its kind in Canada 18 years ago. He died in March 2010 from cancer.

WLA: Thunder here on Friday continued from page 29

Tanner Lemire and Matt Quinton both scored two goals to lead the Lakers, while Burnaby’s top three forwards Colton Clark, Dane Stevens and

Scott Tinning were held without scoring. Despite the setback, Burnaby is far from out of it in the early going. The Lakers are currently tied with Maple Ridge for fifth place with a 2-5-0 record.

Burnaby will complete its three-game season series with the Thunder this Friday at the Copeland centre when the two teams meet for the third time in three weeks. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

The JVs will have just two friendlies to prepare before their first season starts. But with a good beginning this weekend to the upcoming B.C. High School Football Association season, little could have dampened Craig’s enthusiasm

for what’s ahead for the West Burnaby high school program. The only thing that could have made things better would have been beating his brother, said Craig. “I wanted to. The only thing that would have been the icing on the cake would have been beating that senior crew,” he said.
