‘Crushing’ tax hike of 24 per cent

Oh, Canada! Doggone fun:

From left, Staff Sergeant Andy LeClair, Lorne Lopetinski and Superintendent Stephan Drolet and Stefaniya with Marko the dog at the Canada Day celebrations and grand opening of the new Edmonds Community Centre on July 1. The centre at 7433 Edmonds St. held events from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., including guided tours, a ribbon cutting ceremony and activities for all ages.

Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Justin Williams opened his property tax bill for his family-owned business and was dumbfounded to see it increased by a whopping 24 per cent, and with a tax credit cut on the horizon – he’s worried about his company’s future. The provincial government will be phasing out its school tax credits for businesses in the light industry sector in the next two years, and doubled with higher taxes – manufacturers in Burnaby are feeling the crunch. Williams co-owns Burnaby’s Williams and White Inc. with his brother, which manufactures specialized grinding equipment used in the machine and cutting tool industry. “This is unheard of,” he said. “They are trying to crush small business.” Williams said his company tries to be a good neighbour and build the economy in the city, but it needs all the help it can get. “It’s tens of thousands of dollars in one year, and somehow we have to magically find it,” he said. “How do you just, boom, adjust your budget? Everyone on my street is freaking out.” Although the company has survived the tough economic climate so far, Williams said business continues to be a competitive enterprise. “We’re going to have to cut investment,” he said. “We’ll have to find ways to cut costs. How else do you save money in a business? We’re not going to be able to reinvest, not going to be able to stay competitive worldwide and that’s what it’s going to come back to. “It’s already a tough go out there, where the economy is at is very tumultuous still.”

Burnaby RCMP is searching for a driver who fled the scene of a fatal accident involving a cyclist on Sunday night. The cyclist was struck and killed by a passing vehicle near 13th Avenue and Wright Street at about 8:30 p.m. on June 30, according to a press release. By the time RCMP, emergency services and the Burnaby Fire Department arrived on scene, the vehicle, and its driver, had fled. The RCMP said the vehicle involved, a dark coloured, two-door car, was last seen travelling east on 16th Avenue. The car would have damage to its passenger side, the press release added. “Police are seeking any information from witnesses to this incident or anyone who may have seen the suspect vehicle or driver following the collision,” said Burnaby Const. Whitby in the release. Anyone with information, contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

Williams: ‘We’re (light industry) not a money tree’ continued from page 1

Williams said the government is trying to “get blood from a rock” and his business may consider a move to Alberta if things don’t change. “We’ve been in this community for three generations and we’d like to stay here, make it strong,” he said. “Sometimes people just think that businesses are just an un-exhaustive resource that you can just keep on adding another hose to. We’re not a money tree.” Light and medium industry, which Williams’ company is categorized under, is critical for the economy, he says. “And anything we can do to support small businesses in general is a good thing,” he said. “It’s what keeps our communities together.” Williams said he’s seen what a lack of a business presence looks like in a small town and the Lower Mainland is not immune. “I’ve witnessed it, and I don’t think a lot of people who live in greater Vancouver have been to a small town that’s been hit by a recession, where no one has any work, it’s not fun,” he said. “When you really think

about it, restaurants don’t generate business, newspapers don’t generate, entertainment doesn’t generate – only a few things in the economy that really generate and create wealth are either those who manufacture it, dig it out of the ground or grow it.” Williams said he was so furious about his property tax bill alone that he put in a call to the mayor. However, the city does not set the tax and businesses should direct their concerns to the province, according to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. “Business owners are calling the city to voice their extreme concern, not realizing that the city played no role in setting this tax,” Corrigan stated in a media release. “The City of Burnaby – like cities throughout the province – simply collects the tax on behalf of the provincial government, as mandated by legislation.” Corrigan noted how the light industry sector is expected to get more tax increases next year, as well. “Business owners are saying these increases were unexpected and astonishing and that they will severely impact light

industry,” he said. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has been blowing the horn on how businesses are facing higher taxes in Burnaby and the light industry owners “will be left scrambling” when the government cuts tax credits, according to Jordan Bateman, the federation’s director. “The best way to use tax dollars to encourage businesses to grow is to fairly apply lower tax levels across all sectors,” Bateman stated in a media release. “No favourites, no special exemptions – just neutral, across the board tax reductions.” Bateman said the Canadian culture of tax credits is corrosive to a free market and the public should choose which businesses to support – not the government. But, the government says it’s set to get more revenue from eliminating the tax credits to light industry. The province’s Minister of Finance, Michael de Jong, reviews tax policy for each budget, according to Janet Stewart, communications manager for the Ministry of Finance. “In budget 2013, the minister announced

that the (light industry) school tax credit would be phased out over two years beginning in 2013 to restore the longstanding policy of treating businesses in (light industry) the same as those in (business) for school property tax purposes,” Stewart said in an email. The phase-out is expected to provide additional revenues of $32 million in 2013/14 and about $55 million every year after to “help protect important services for British Columbians,” Stewart noted. “In response to the economic crisis of 2008, the school tax credit was introduced in 2009 to provide relief to the province’s industrial sectors and was provided to both (major industry) and (light industry),” she added. There are about 20,000 light industry businesses in the province, which includes wineries, asphalt manufacturers, printing and publishing operations, sand and gravel operations and metal fabrication facilities. According to the City of Burnaby, there are 400 light industry businesses in operating in Burnaby. sseccia@burnabynow.com

THE QUALITY AND VALUE YOU EXPECT FROM SEARS WITH THE LOW PRICES YOU EXPECT FROM AN OUTLET

Jennifer Moreau Burnaby residents concerned about the Kinder Morgan pipeline need to see beyond their backyards and support the indigenous communities impacted by tar sands development. That’s the message from Burnaby’s Harjap Grewal, a Council of Canadians staff member, who’s about to embark on a journey to Fort McMurray to see the tar sands firsthand. “If you are in that area, it’s quite devastating,” said Grewal. “It’s quite shocking when you’re walking down that area (of highway). Both sides are basically a desert, and it used to be boreal forest.” Grewal, who’s been to the site before, is taking another trip with a group of Lower Mainland residents to join the July 6 Healing Walk, an annual march organized by First Nations against environmental destruction caused by the tar sands. This year’s Healing Walk is expected to draw climate change activist Bill McKibben, author Naomi Klein, actress and environmental activist Tantoo Cardinal and public speaker Wab Kinew. The Council of Canadians is footing the bill for a caravan to take roughly a dozen people, including Grewal, to Fort McMurray, Alta., for the Healing Walk.

Burnaby MP vows to fight pipeline expansion Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart is vowing to do all he can to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. As previously reported in the Burnaby NOW, Stewart was the guest speaker at a meeting hosted by Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion last Thursday. In what were perhaps his toughest words yet for Kinder Morgan, Stewart promised to fight the project and call a meeting with opposing environmental groups. “If we stand together, we can stop this thing, and that’s really what we have to do,” Stewart said, addressing a crowd of roughly 50 people at McGill library. “I’m firmly on the side with the community that opposes this project, and I will do everything I can to stop it.” Stewart also spoke about the latest developments with Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion and how

I have been amazed at the scope of the flooding devastation in Alberta and my heart goes out to all those who are suffering.

Unfortunately I don’t have any special skills that would allow me to help personally although I would do so gladly if I could.

No more education funding Dear Editor:

Re: Tell those ‘good teacher stories,’ Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, June 28. Ms. Louise Hazemi invited readers of the Burnaby NOW to write to the premier in support of more education funding. This is not the letter she asked for. In addition to a reply, I will use the opportunity to get a few things off my chest regarding the inferior product she and her comrades deliver and believe can only be improved by throwing yet more money at it. In all fairness, many of my gripes are a result of the curriculum, which is not controlled by teachers, and the reluctance of the ministry to deal with matters of discipline. To point at strong unions is just a cop-out by those who look for excuses for their weak management. However, lately I am a bit encouraged, because more and more pundits have questioned the wisdom of putting students through secondary education for which

there are no jobs. For the record, this is something I have talked and complained about for as long as I can remember. … Great savings could be achieved. Even though the value of a decent education does not escape me, I always think of education as the first area to cut back when the funds have dried up. My apologies, but education is not the sacred calf I am supposed to believe it is. I say this in all sincerity and challenge anyone who argues why they couldn’t have gotten through life if a half-dozen activities were cut out of their Grade 3 schedules. Next, no amount of funding or number of special needs assistants would have made a hockey player or a political cartoonist out of me. I was never interested in hockey, and I lacked the talent to even draw a crooked line. It is total folly to think money could have fixed that. Yet, what I always hear from teachers is, they want to prepare their charges to switch back and forth from being astronauts, go into sports, law, medicine or whatever else they conjure up. In the meantime, someone who would be perfectly happy driving a truck or a bus and could, obviously, provide for his family doing it, is looked at as a failure. To refer to “more cuts” is, however, pretty darn sick. There are fewer children and more dollars. We all know it. But Hazemi keeps talking about reductions. Sorry, to have disappointed Hazemi. She earned it. What makes it worse for her is that my views are shared with quite a number of my friends. So get used to it.

continued from page 6

should realize there is no money put aside for wage increases. Any pay hikes will have to come from “savings” found within the education system, a difficult if not impossible task. But there is what appears to be an inconsistency in this three-year restraint program. While government programs are being squeezed, frozen or eliminated, the provincial debt will continue to climb at a remarkable pace. Capital spending on such things as schools, hospitals, roads, bridges and B.C. Hydro facilities means the province will rack up another $7 billion in debt over the next three years (this, after climbing almost $30 billion since 2006). To give you an indication of how fast the debt

Budget: Debt still climbing for several years. It’s hard to see how wait times in the health care system will be reduced in any meaningful way, and in fact they may well increase. The government is also signalling it intends to put the brakes on any increase for physician fees. This could result in a confrontation with doctors, which is the kind of fight governments rarely win. All in all, the three-year fiscal plan suggests that anyone who relies on government services should not expect an improvement in them any time soon. In fact, the budget squeeze could result in the elimination of some of those services, or at the very least deterioration in their quality. And B.C.’s teachers

is escalating, consider this: the government’s debt went up more than $350,000 during de Jong’s half-hour budget update presentation last week. During the election campaign, Premier Christy Clark kept suggesting the province’s debt could be wiped out because of pending fortunes to be made from the export of liquefied natural gas. Before we get there though, the debt will keep climbing, which is the direct opposite of what she was talking about on the campaign trail. But she also talked about balancing the budget. Her government may never achieve those debt reduction targets, but it’s betting the farm it will accomplish the balancing act.

As for Stewart’s suggestion that the “economic folks” wanted a bigger share of the profits, Clement forwarded the following statement on behalf of Anderson in response: “I welcome the opportu-

nity to join the B.C. government, other governments and key stakeholders in this dialogue to discuss economic benefits for B.C. associated with the proposed expanded pipeline. I am confident that with a collaborative approach we can find a solution that is acceptable to the B.C. government and the citizens of B.C.” During the questionand-answer period at the BROKE meeting, all of the audience queries were

sympathetic to Stewart’s position except for one gentleman, who challenged Stewart’s comment that the Enbridge pipeline project was going to use workers from China. “I am a strong supporter of the Kinder Morgan pipeline,” the audience member said. “We need pipelines to export bitumen to China and the U.S. … We are forgoing massive revenues.” The BROKE meeting was held on the same day Kinder Morgan hosted an

Nearly 700 guns collected

Brad Haugli says his uncle would be alive today if a program like the provincial Gun Amnesty Month had been accessible to his family. Haugli’s uncle used to hunt and owned a rifle legally. As time went on, his uncle stopped hunting and the gun went unused in his home. Over the years, things in his uncle’s life changed, culminating to his eventual suicide using the rifle he had in his home. “If my father and other family members, his wife, anybody, would have known that there’s an ability to turn in that firearm … to the police to dispose of it, then my uncle would probably be alive today,” he said. Haugli, president of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police and an inspector

with the Lower Mainland branch of the RCMP, is a strong supporter of gun amnesty programs and said it gives people the chance to turn in guns they may no longer want or use. Simon Fraser University professor emeritus Gary Mauser, who is an anti-gun registry advocate, released a statement denouncing the program because it improperly targets gun owners who may not want to give up their firearms. “It is poor policy for the police to ask citizens to surrender potentially valuable firearms without offering reimbursement,” Mauser said in the release. In a phone interview with the NOW, Mauser said the police should offer alternatives to simply turning in unwanted firearms. Many old firearms, especially rifles, could be sold

to gun clubs or donated to museums, he added. What’s more, Mauser said the campaign is highly unlikely to have an impact on violent crime because criminals won’t be turning in their guns to police. But that’s not the intention behind the program, Haugli said. “The spirit of the gun amnesty is to make homes safer,” he said. “It’s not about, ‘we’re going to get criminals to turn in their guns,’ it’s about making our community safer.” The Burnaby RCMP have yet to release the final number of guns turned in, but three weeks into the program, the RCMP had collected about 680 firearms across the province. –Cayley Dobie For a longer version of this story, go to www.burnaby now.com.

For most people, the name Italian Stallion will bring to mind images of Sylvester Stallone wearing boxing gloves in his famous Rocky film series. For local foodies, however, it’s more likely to make their mouths water, since this is the name of a popular meat sandwich served up at a local food cart. Trish Bell, owner and operator of Casalinga Culinary Services in Burnaby, believes she has discovered the perfect combination of ingredients to tickle all the taste buds with this original recipe. “It’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever tried in your life, it’s so good,” she says. “It’s a large French roll topped with homemade ceasar dressing on both sides, and then we put four-cheese spread on both sides of the bun, and then layer on one side pulled pork that we cook overnight with chicken broth till it falls apart. We layer that on top and then we do spicy capicola, we do Calabrese salami, and we do a spicy salami and

This summer, Casalinga Carts will be at various venues and events, including three days in downtown Vancouver, at least two events at Hastings Racetrack, and at the Columbia StrEAT food truck festival on Aug. 10 in New Westminster. Bell says she is especially looking forward to the food truck festival and is excited to see what other vendors will be offering. “You know, people eat the same thing all the time, and when they eat at a food truck, (the owners) tend to put a twist on things that most normal restaurants wouldn’t do,” she says. “It’s just really creative. So, food being creative and fun and tasting delicious, it’s like a party.” Besides Casalinga Carts, other food trucks confirmed so far for the New Westminster festival are: Guanaco Truck, Beljam’s Waffles, Kaboom Box, JJ’s Trucketeria, Aussie Pie Guy and Holy Perogy.

Steamworks brewing in Burnaby this August MOVERS & SHAKERS Stefania Seccia

urnaby’s first brewery is pumping along as most of the beermaking equipment has arrived. Steamworks Brewing Company is hoping to start creating their brews and getting their production lines moving as early as August. The Vancouver-based company is moving a brewery into a 30,000square-foot facility at 3845 Williams St., which will include offices, its production, packaging, canning and kegging lines, and a tasting room. “We’re all very excited about the project,” said Caolan Vaughan, Steamworks’ brewmaster, in a previous interview with the Burnaby NOW. “We all can’t wait to be making some fantastic beers in Burnaby and linking Vancouver and Burnaby together. It’s a great project. I’m excited to be making some worldclass beer here.” Although the brewing company expected to open its doors to the public this July, the official grand opening is yet to be

announced. The tasting room will feature seasonal ales and Steamworks’ classic brews – with growlers (a two-litre jug of freshly brewed beer) expected to cost about $18 to $20, with refills costing about $12 to $15. There will also be four-ounce glasses for tasting. The Steamworks pub in Gastown has a 12 to 18hectare litre brewhouse, while a 50-hectare litre production is planned for its new Burnaby site. The new location is expected to fill 250 bottles per minute, according to Steamworks president Walter Cosman. The new location will also open up its doors to public tours.

Ready, set, Giro di Burnaby! by Kerstin Butzelaar The Heights Contributor

The City of Burnaby welcomes the community to the

Giro di Burnaby Cycle Race Thursday, July 11th Women start 6 p.m. Men start 7:15 p.m. Race Start/Finish: Hastings & Carleton Mayor Derek Corrigan Councillor Pietro Calendino Councillor Colleen Jordan Councillor Anne Kang Councillor Richard Chang Councillor Paul McDonell Councillor Sav Dhaliwal Councillor Nick Volkow Councillor Dan Johnston

Course Distance: 1.3-km Date: Thursday, July 11 Time: 6 p.m. race start The sound of tires hissing, cowbells clanging, and crowds cheering only means one thing – the Giro di Burnaby. Named as a tribute to Burnaby’s Italian community and after the famous Giro d’Italia, the Giro di Burnaby or “Tour of Burnaby” is a professional cycling race that will take place on Thursday, July 11. This speedy and challenging event is part of B.C.’s Superweek, the most renowned worldwide event in Canadian cycling. To host this event, Hastings Street and some of its surrounding streets will close to regular traffic from 4 to 9 p.m. The Giro di Burnaby’s 1.3-km loop features a straight 200-metres downhill, a 180-degree turn at Madison Avenue, and a slight uphill sprint to Gilmore Avenue. At Gilmore, cyclists then turn right to make a left onto Albert Street, then left again onto MacDonald Avenue for the final left on to Hastings Street before the 350-metre downhill sprint back to the 180-degree turn.

Just like any other Giro event, Giro traditions continue. “Primes,” the short sprints with prize money that are popular with both riders and crowds, will be announced when racers cross the start/finish line on the next lap. These cash lap prizes are well known to increase the speed of the whole pack. Join in on the commotion as cyclists speed past by clanging cowbells. But make sure to grab yours early before the limited quantity runs out. Cheering is hard work. Make sure to visit any of our restaurants to rest and refuel before, during and after the Giro di Burnaby. This spectator and family friendly event draws local and international competitors regardless of its tricky name, the “gee-ro” di Burnaby. The event will begin with the women’s race at 6 p.m. followed by the men’s race at 7:15 p.m. (All times are approximate.) Come experience the Giro di Burnaby and be a part of one of Canada’s best cycling enthusiast events. For event details, visit www.girodiburnaby.com.

Giro di Burnaby gets social by Janaya Fuller-Evans The Heights Reporter

Greg Dion grew up surrounded by bikes, so it’s no wonder he’s now working as the social media coordinator for the Giro di Burnaby, Burnaby’s criterion cycling race. “My family has a cycling background,” he says. “My dad had a bike company, so professional cycling has always been around, but in my early teens, when that was happening, I had other things going on. So it’s only now that I’m starting to get more interested in the sport. “I started riding last year, I’ve done a couple of races myself,” he adds. “So I think it was something I was bound to get into eventually, and having the opportunity to get on with the Giro, it all sort of just fell into place, which has been fun.” Dion’s father was a welder who opened a bike shop out of his garage, he says, building custom-made road racers. “It just sort of grew – he started in the garage and had the opportunity to make some connections, and then he started getting different clients,” Dion says. “He had some pretty high-profile riders coming to him, saying, ‘Hey, will you build a bike for me?’” Dion’s father built a bike for Carol Montgomery, who raced in the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics, as well as a number of other triathletes, Dion says. Dion’s family lived in North Burnaby,

and he attended Lochdale Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary, he says. “So I’m Burnaby born and raised,” he adds. He attended the Giro in its first year, in 2006, and last year, as well. Between the two races, Dion was traveling and lived in London, England. He started a project to connect with people in person for cups of tea, 100 Cups, which he blogged about. He was featured in a NOW story three years ago about the project. He’s using that blogging experience, as well as his knowledge of social media from working in the music industry and promoting bands, in his new role. “The first side of it is to educate the community more on the sport of professional cycle racing,” he says. “I think that, while it’s always been an exciting event for the community to come and watch, a lot of people don’t know much more than these guys come and ride their bike, and they ride in circles for awhile, and everyone cheers.” The sport of team cycle racing, there’s a lot of depth to it, especially in the team aspect,” Dion adds. The organizers are screening a documentary on a professional cycling team, The Hard Road, on July 4, so people have a clearer idea of what riders go through. Another aspect of his work on social media is to grow the race and its profile, he says.

“A lot of people don’t realize how important or how big this race actually is,” Dion says. “For instance, Svein Tuft is a rider that raced last year in the Giro di Burnaby and this year, he’s debuting at the Tour de France. So a lot of people don’t realize that this is actually – the race that we have here is actually on that level with some of the most prestigious races in the world. There are differences – this isn’t a UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) sanctioned event, so that means the riders

don’t get points towards their professional ranking. But the prize purse being in excess of $15,000, I mean, there’s a good opportunity for these riders to get to the next race or get to the next level.” The Giro di Burnaby will be engaging with the community by offering up fun prizes and interacting on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, Dion says.

What’s the bell-ringing all about?

The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/finish line on the next lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the final standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging.

Is it safe to watch?

Very safe! There is a dedicated team of volunteers and professionals to keep things running smoothly and safely. Bales of hay are used to protect the riders in the event of a fall; secure fencing is set up around the course to keep the race contained; and we have a fully trained, on-site medical team (just in case).

The Giro di Burnaby is part of B.C. Superweek and takes place on Thursday, July 11. The women’s race starts at 6 p.m. and the men’s race starts at 7:15 p.m.

How do I know who’s winning?

Here are a few common sense tips to keep in mind on race day: • For the safety of the spectators and racers, please obey the race marshals at all times. • Cross at the designated crossing points along the course and only cross when a designated race marshal indicates it is safe to do so. • Bikes and pace cars can exceed speeds of 60 km/h and the road is reserved at all times during the course of the evening just for them. • Keep your hands and any other objects well inside the fencing.

NEW & USED BOOKS

Dandy Horse Cycles, a new bike shop in North Burnaby, is helping spectators at the Giro di Burnaby park their bikes. Those attending can ride their bike to the race, using valet parking provided by the shop. The valet service is by donation, with the money going to prize purses for the Giro. “It’s a pretty significant event for Burnaby, especially North Burnaby,” said Cody Campbell, marketing manager for the shop. “It seemed like a natural fit, since we’re so close to the Heights.” Campbell said the race is also personally significant for him as he has competed in cycling races as well. The bikes will be kept in a fenced off area behind Vancity at Hastings Street and Madison Avenue.

Dandy Horse Cycles is providing a bike valet service at the Giro di Burnaby this year. Above, owner Reza Saeedi, marketing manager Cody Campbell and Ehsan Mahdizadeh at the shop. PHOTO: LARRY WRIGHT/BURNABY NOW

All donations will be put towards the women’s and men’s prize laps during the race. The shop is also donating a Masi bike to the Giro di Burnaby, which will be given to one lucky volunteer. The shop wants to connect with the community, according to Campbell. “We’re trying to

get involved with the community and build that relationship up,” he said. Dandy Horse Cycles is located at 6661 Hastings St. and opened at the end of April. There was a bike shop at that location for the past 20 years, as well. The shop carries bikes from Masi, Haro and Brodie, and a variety of parts and accessories.

Bears spotted in city Marelle Reid and Jennifer Moreau

staff reporters

A Burnaby NOW reader recently had a surprisingly close encounter with a black bear. Thomas Tricarico lives on the north side of Burnaby Mountain on Barnet Road. Black bears in his neighbourhood are not uncommon, he said, but standing face-toface with a rearing mother bear was an experience he says he won’t soon forget. “It was a little unusual this time,” he said with a laugh. Sitting on his backyard patio enjoying his morning coffee on June 23, Tricarico saw out of the corner of his eye what he at first thought was his neighbour’s cat go by the hedge, but realized it was too big to be a domestic feline. Curious, Tricarico walked up to the back lane behind his property and discovered a black bear rummaging through his trash cans. He ran back inside to grab his camera and quickly returned to snap the shot, but found not just one bear, but two. “I turned around, and there is momma bear standing behind me,” he said. “… Seriously, she had to be like five feet, … and we just looked at each other. I just said, ‘That’s OK, it’s alright,’ and tried to back away slowly.” The bear followed him casually to the entrance to his stairs, where Tricarico had time to get another photo, before the bear became too distracted by the smorgasbord

of garbage cans lining the lane, and followed her cub. Eventually, both bears moved on back into the woods, leaving Tricarico with a few photos as proof of his latest wildlife encounter in his own backyard. Last summer, Burnaby conservation officer David Cox told the NOW he’d received several calls of black bear sightings in Burnaby, but that the bears were not causing any trouble. He said bear sightings around Burnaby Mountain are an annual occurrence, and people should be sure to keep dogs on leashes while hiking or walking on the mountain, and remember to keep garbage cans and bins securely stored so bears cannot access them. The Burnaby NOW has also received reports of a bear at Deer Lake. On Friday, local bird expert George Clulow called the NOW after running into a Deer Lake resident who had watched a bear walk through his backyard and then go into the dense, bushy area below the Hart House Restaurant, just a few metres from the boardwalk on the north side of the lake. Cox said conservation officers received reports of a bear close to Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake. “We received hundreds and hundreds of bear reports a day,” he said. Cox suggested people call the conservation officer service report line at 1-877952-7277 as soon as possible after spotting a bear.

Mountain girls win first Premier Cup Tom Berridge sports editor

Mountain United FC came away with its thirdever title following the B.C. Soccer Premier Cup provincial championships at the South Surrey Athletic Park last weekend. Mountain’s under-13 girls’ team opened up Sunday’s competition with a 3-0 victory over host and regular season champion Coastal FC in the provincial final. Emma Regan opened the scoring with the eventual game-winning goal midway through the first half off a corner kick. Jessica Ambrosio did all the work on the team’s second goal 15 minutes into the second half, crossing a ball into the box that deflected into the net off a Coastal defender. Julia Grosso completed the scoring 15 minutes from full time with an excellent strike on goal that beat the keeper to the bottom corner. “They competed well and that allowed them to play possession and create chances,” said u-13 Mountain head coach Paul Turner. “It’s a very exciting age group – a very talented group.” Mountain technical director Frank Ciaccia called the u-13 girls “A treat to watch.” “That’s a team we are very pleased with,” he said. “They play the game properly – they get the ball down.” Coastal and Mountain finished first and second, respectively, just two points apart in the regular season. Mountain edged third-place Surrey United

Settling for silver: Mountain United FC under-18 girls, seen in red in semifinal game, lost 2-0 to host Coastal FC in the B.C. Soccer provincial Premier Cup final in Surrey on Sunday.

1-0 in the semifinals a week earlier to advance to their first cup final. Mountain United placed a league-best six teams in the 10 age group finals, but came away with five silver medals in the other title matches. “The form really held for the most part,” said Ciaccia. “We were really only favoured in one game. We were completely in control up one goal in the first half, but in a one-

game playoff just about anything can happen.” That result cost the u15 girls’ league champion Mountain side a 2-1 loss to Surrey United on Sunday. Mountain also dropped a 2-0 decision in the u-18 girls’ final to 10-1-1 Coastal FC. On Saturday, Mountain lost all three of its boys’ finals. Coquitlam Metro-Ford ’95 edged Mountain ’96 by a 1-0 scoreline in the u-18

final. The Burnaby/North Shore club also dropped both the u-14 and u-15 finals to the respective league champion. The u-14s lost 2-0 to Surrey United after upsetting runner-up Metro-Ford a week earlier. The u-15s also fell 3-1 to Coquitlam after a 1-0 semifinal win over Coastal. But despite the single gold medal, Ciaccia was proud of Mountain’s

record of making the final four in all 10 age divisions. He also credited the second-year program with preparing 41 of its players for the various provincial development squads. There are also a handful of Mountain graduating players in line to step into Vancouver Whitecaps programs. Another eight Mountain Soccer Page 26

Super sub second again for 8Star Motorsports Tom Berridge

sports editor

Michael Valiante drove the 8Star Motorsports No. 3 Corvette to a second consecutive runnerup finish in the Grand Am Rolex sports car series at Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen in New York on Sunday. Valiante, who led a race-best 33 laps in the race, caught up to eventual race winner Christian Fittipaldi of Action Express Racing on the final lap and closed within a fraction of the lead at the checkered flag, posting the closest finish ever, at .265 seconds, in a six-

hour Daytona Prototype race at Watkins Glen. The North Burnaby racer took over from owner driver Emilo Potolicchio on the fifth lap and moved the Chevrolet up from 13th place into first after the opening two hours on the 3.4 mile, 11-turn road course. Valiante gave way to co-driver Stephane Sarrazin on Lap 75. At the four-hour mark, Sarrazin, who kept the car among the leaders, was charged a 60-minute stopand-go penalty for unnecessary contact with another race car. With one hour and 20 minutes remaining, Valiante got behind

the wheel again with the car in 11th place. Valiante made his last stop with less than 45 minutes left and the No. 3 car in third place 10 seconds behind the leader. At the white flag, Valiante picked up more than a full second on the final lap. The second-place finish gave 8Star a total of 177 points, just 12 points behind fourth place, 13 points out of third and just 17 from first overall. The No. 3 car is also third in the North American Endurance championship team point standings.

“It’s disappointing not coming in first, but how can you complain about coming in second. The team has done an outstanding job. “It was great to be paired with Stephane (Sarrazin). We hit it off right away. He is a fantastic driver,” said Valiante in an 8Star press release. “Everything went to plan. … We can’t complain. … It’s first time with the team – Stephane and my first race together – so for a podium, I am happy. But, I really wanted to win.” The eighth race of the Rolex Grand-Am Series is the Brickyard Racing Page 27

Sumie François had a strong finish to place tied for 21st at the B.C. women’s amateur golf championships at Pitt Meadows Golf Club last Friday. The 13-year-old Burnaby golfer posted an even par-74 on the fourth and final round to finish in a group of three other golfers, which included Canadian national team member Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam, at 310. François opened with a two-over-par 76, but had some trouble on a rainy 6,220-yard course in the second round. François, who practises at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, closed with a 77 and 74 in the final two rounds to finish at 14-overpar. Cassy Isagawa of Eugene, Oregon won the women’s title with a 16under-par 280, six shots better that Port Coquitlam’s Soo-Bin Kim. Taylor Kim of Surrey and Richmond’s Christine Wong tied for third at fiveunder. In the final round, François was one of just 11 golfers to shoot even par or better. François opened the front nine with a pair of bogeys, but got one stroke back on the par-5 eighth. She then birdied both the par-5 13th and 15th holes on the back nine. This week, the Burnaby teen will be teeing up for the four-round 18-andunder B.C. junior girls’ championships alongside Jacklyn Duchen of Burnaby and New Westminster’s Breanna Croxen at the Belmont Golf Club from July 2 to 5. The junior boys’ provincial championships will also be going on this week at the Revelstoke Golf and Country Club. Local golfers taking part in the four-round 72-hole championship include a strong contingent of Burnaby golfers, including Leon Lee, Alan Tolusso, Alex François, Lucas Gatto, Kevin Li and Wyatt Racette, and St. Thomas More grad Kevin Vigna.

TRADE DEADLINE

Lakers moved to playoff contenders at deadline Tom Berridge

sports editor

Four Burnaby Laker juniors were shipped to playoff contending clubs at the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League trade deadline this weekend. Second-year Tyler Buchan was dealt to the first-place Coquitlam Adanacs for next season’s second-round pick in the junior entry draft and the playing rights to Shawn Hanley. Before being traded, Buchan was third on the Burnaby team in scoring with 13 goals, including a team-high three shorthanded markers, in nine games and 28 points. Hanley, a 1994-born Richmond runner, had one goal in 11 games with Coquitlam this season. The junior Lakers also dealt Justin Appels to the Victoria Shamrocks for a third-round pick in the 2014 entry draft and future considerations, which could mean the rights to the first-year son of team governor Richard Appels might revert back to Burnaby at the end of the playoffs. Also on the move to Langley were Quinton Bradley and Ryan Watson. Bradley was traded on Sunday for Langley’s second-round pick in 2014 and futures, while, a day earlier, Watson was dealt to the Thunder in exchange for a third-rounder.

Bellies bag blockbuster

The New Westminster Salmonbellies

added the top two scorers in the junior A league to its already productive lineup. The ’Bellies dealt Jake Carey and newcomer Ryan Vogrig to the Delta Islanders for the playing rights to Eli McLaughlin and league scoring leader Cody Nass for at least the remainder of the 2013 season and playoffs. The deal also included draft picks next year and in 2015, as well as other players’ rights. McLaughlin, a 19-year-old lefthander, currently leads the league in goal scoring with 57 goals and a blistering 36.54 shot percentage. Nass, an under-age, 6-1 righty, leads all junior A shooters with 37 goals and 109 total points so far this season. “We have to win our way in (to the Minto Cup),” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault, regarding the opportunity to add two key players, particularly a much needed righthander, to the lineup. “We’re pretty excited to add players like that and to have the depth now.” But despite the trade, with Nass and McLaughlin in the lineup Saturday, New Westminster lost 8-7 to Coquitlam at Queen’s Park Arena. In other trade news, Coquitlam was busy shoring up holes, adding goalie Peter Dubenski from Nanaimo for a swap of trade picks and futures. The junior A’s also picked up Tyler Pace, Matt Delmonico and Mitch Milani from the PoCo Saints in exchange for goalie Andrew Gallant.

players from the u-18 divisions have been selected to play on B.C.’s Canada Games team in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Furthermore, a large majority of Mountain’s graduating players have been recruited to post-secondary programs, something Ciaccia says is the root of the club’s foundation. “Our objective is to get players into soccer for life. That’s something the club

is real proud of. It’s what we’re all about,” Ciaccia said. “There is no question it would have been nice to come out with two or three more (gold medals), but as a technical director, I’m proud of the direction we’ve taken as a club.” Winners of the u-14, u-16 and u-18 age groups will represent B.C. at the national club championships from Oct. 9 to 14. tberridge@burnabynow.com

JR. A LACROSSE

Junior Lakers pelted by ’Rocks in Sunday defeat

Former major midget Northwest Giants winger Jackson Houck was drafted in the fourth round by the Edmonton Oilers at the NHL entry draft last weekend. Houck was picked up from the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League with the 94th pick of the draft.

Ex-midget goes to Oilers in fourth round

Tyler Buchan and Quinton Bradley both scored their last goals with the Burnaby Lakers in a 23-6 loss to Victoria on Sunday before being traded away at the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League deadline. The Victoria Shamrocks blitzed junior B callup Cody Gilliam 9-3 in the opening period. The visitors put up another eight goals on Gilliam and backup Robert Hall in the middle frame before outscoring the Lakers 6-0 in the final frame. Cam Hudspeth scored two goals for the junior Lakers. Victoria’s Brody Eastwood led all scorers with seven goals and nine points, while teammate Chris Wardle potted five goals. Czech Republic-born Dominik Pesek had a career night with eight points, including a hat trick. Burnaby is in Coquitlam on Wednesday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Last season, Houck led the Giants in scoring with 23 goals and 34 assists and was named the team’s MVP, as well as most improved player in 2013. In 2011, Houck finished third in major midget team scoring with 21 goals and 38 points.
