Teachers label it ‘union busting’

Functional art costs $160,000 ‘RainCatcher’ will be officially unveiled at centre’s grand opening on July 15

It’s called the RainCatcher, and it’s more than just a work of art – it’s practical function will keep the garden growing in front of the new Edmonds Community Centre. Toronto-based artist Noel Harding was selected out of several artists to create an artistic marker outside the 90,000 square foot community facility, which has pushed its grand opening from mid-June to July 15. “RainCatcher is a celebration of nature and nature’s place in our communities,” said Dave Ellenwood, Burnaby’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, in an email. “Native plants surround the sculpture, while an abstract canopy of metal foliage collects and trickles rain water from above that brings the sculpture to life.” The budget for the art piece was $160,000, which includes funds for the materials and signage. The final cost will be known when the artist submits all the bills, Ellenwood said. The RainCatcher was installed on Friday, May 24. The plants at the bottom of the art installation will evolve and transform over time. “It’s actually a living thing,” Ellenwood added. Harding is a member of Toronto’s Art Committee for Public Places, and is also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art and the International Kunstler in Berlin. He’s taught at the Ontario College of Art and Design, the University of Guelph, the University of Windsor and at the Dutch Art Institute in the Netherlands.

With the Liberals in for another term, Premier Christy Clark is putting her 10-year-plan for “labour peace” with teachers back on the table, and the Burnaby Teachers’ Association is none too pleased. A 10-year-collective agreement between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, (the bargaining arm of the provincial government) was part of the Liberal party platform, but the president of the local teachers’ union branch characterized the “10-year-no-plan” as union busting. “If you put someone in a 10year-deal, you make the union irrelevant,” said James Sanyshyn, Burnaby Teachers’ Association. “You also make the employer irrelevant. I see it as a huge power grab on part of the province. They would like to usurp the roles of unions and their local employers (the school boards) to hammer out working and learning conditions, I’d say it’s quite a sneaky move.” The teachers and provincial government typically negotiate a twoor three-year contract, but Clark’s plan calls for a decade-long agreement. In a January press release, Clark pitched the idea as a way to provide stability for students. “Imagine the opportunities for students, parents and teachers in the classroom knowing classrooms would always be open,” she said, Teachers Page 5

5 Seniors’ program saved 8 Mae Burrows recognized 13 Top 5 things to do ONE NEIGHBOUR’S COMPOST IS ANOTHER’S NIGHTMARE

Resident wants city to have ‘smell’ bylaws Stefania Seccia staff reporter

“A big public toilet,” was the analogy used by Burnaby resident Flora Kemp about her next-door neighbour’s composting technique. The smell associated with a public toilet, public hygiene and sanitation related to composting, were the issues brought up during a delegation to council May 6, by Burnaby residents Flora and her husband, Brad Kemp. “It’s not really a good analogy, (but) there’s a big public toilet right next to my back gate,” Flora told council. “Right now, it’s my issue. If more people are doing it in

the future … It will come back to the community.” Kemps’ neighbour has put the compost bin in their shared lane, right beside the Kemps’ back gate, which leads into their yard. Although Flora and Brad said they are in favour of composting, as it’s a good, environmentally friendly exercise, they said there needs to be something in place to keep the smell in check – just as there are noise bylaws in place. “I wish I can bring the smell in a box here to show you guys … but I can’t, unfortunately,” Flora said. “It’s something I can’t really put in a box to show people. It’s there and it’s there every day.”

Flora said the smell goes away in the winter, but as she is pregnant with her second child, she doesn’t need the extra stress. “We’ve put up with it enough,” she said. “But the next step I’m going to take is going to the court.” Flora also said she only parks in the front of her house and is unable to use her back yard because of the smell permeating from her neighbour’s compost. Brad said he’s been monitoring the neighbour’s compost for a long time and it hasn’t changed. “So it may look as though this is a neighbour fight, but we think it’s bigger than that,” Brad told council, after showing them

two videos of his backyard and his neighbour’s compost bin. “We think it’s something with no relief, and expect prevalence of this type of thing in the future. People are green. People want to go environmentfriendly. We are certainly for composting, but we think it has to be done so it doesn’t create a nuisance for your neighbour.” Brad said he and his wife had already attempted to speak to the neighbour about it – but nothing happened. “We approached our neighbour about it and they said they didn’t have to do anything about it,” he added. In the Kemps’ letter to council, they state the smell is extremely offensive and fills Compost Page 9

Timber! Fallen trees: On Wednesday morning, traffic on Gaglardi Way was closed in both directions, after two trees crashed down on a vehicle. Gaglardi Way was re-opened early afternoon, after city crews spent twoand-a-half hours clearing the debris and damage. No injuries were reported. The city was still trying to determine why the trees fell at presstime. Lisa King/ burnaby now

Final results: NDP margin increases slightly Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The final numbers are in for Burnaby’s four provincial ridings, and while none of the seats changed hands, the margins of victory shifted slightly in favour of the New Democrats. Elections B.C. conducted the final count this week, which included absentee ballots not included in the preliminary count, and the final results for all

B.C. ridings were posted online Wednesday, May 29. Tallies for Burnaby ridings – Deer Lake, Edmonds, Lougheed and North – have already been finalized, and the numbers shore up the preliminary results. In Burnaby-Edmonds, the NDP’s Raj Chouhan secured 9,253 votes, (increasing his margin from 1,883 in the preliminary results to 2,303 in the final). Liberal Jeff Kuah received 6,950 votes, while Green candi-

date Wyatt Tessari secured 1,573 votes, and Excalibur candidate Nicholas Edward D’Amico landed 215 votes. In Burnaby-North, incumbent Richard Lee held onto the last remaining Liberal seat in the city, with a final margin of 668. (The preliminary results had Lee ahead by 833 votes.) Lee earned 10,543 votes, New Democrat Janet Routledge garnered 9,875, while Green candidate Carrie McLaren had 1,577

In Burnaby-Deer Lake, incumbent Kathy Corrigan held onto her NDP seat by 903 votes, according to the final count. (Her original margin was 727.) Corrigan earned 8,189 votes, while first-time Liberal candidate and local doctor Shian Gu secured 7,286. Rick McGowan, running for the Green party, garnered 1,417.

In Burnaby-Lougheed, Shin’s preliminary lead was only a matter of 315 ballots, but the final votes coming in were leaning in her favour. The final count showed Shin ahead with 8,952 votes, while Liberal Ken Kramer had 8,209 – a difference of 743 votes. Green candidate Darwin Burns garnered 1,665 votes, while Christine Clarke, an unaffiliated B.C. Conservative candidate, secured 1,399 votes.

MULBERRY STEPS UP TO REPLACE CUT FUNDING

Seniors’ program rescued staff reporter

A local retirement home has stepped in to save a seniors’ health program facing financial peril. The Seniors Active In Living (SAIL) program at Confederation centre was at risk of closing, after funding from Fraser Health dried up, but folks at the Mulberry, a South Burnaby retirement home, decided to step in, after reading the Burnaby NOW’s frontpage story on the issue. “We saw the article from the paper, so we thought we should do something,” said Jacqueline Omstead, general manager at the Mulberry. “The benefit for us is giving back to the community - that’s one of our values.” The Mulberry is sponsoring the SAIL program with a $12,000 donation – that’s $2,000 more than what volunteers were hoping for to keep the program going. The program runs every Tuesday, from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m., at Confederation centre. Seniors can get their blood pressure, height and weight checked, enjoy massages and partake in “energy healing.” There is also a health information presentation, followed by chair exercises. The program is run by volunteers, and in 2009 Fraser Health gave notice that funding would run out in the 2012/13 fiscal year. Volunteers made a public plea for donations in March,

The Mulberry does a lot for the community.” Player is still hoping to find secure, long-term funding, so volunteers are not looking for donations every year, but she did say the Mulberry may be interested in a second year of spon-

Sanyshyn said. “We would have to give up our rights to bargain class size and composition for this 10year-deal, so that’s a nostarter.” Teachers’ salaries would be indexed to an average of other public sector raises, something Sanyshyn also has concerns about. “If they chose to give no increase to public sector unions for wages, then the average of zero is zero,” Sanyshyn said. The plan also includes a $100 million priority education fund, available by the third year of the agreement. The funds are earmarked to address “education pri-

sorship if the first goes well. “It’s good for them because it’s a win-win situation,” Player said. “They have independent housing for seniors, (and) they are wanting to be more well known in Burnaby.” The $12,000 will cover the program’s operating costs for a year. Player said the program services more than 200 seniors, with an average of 50 people per week.

orities,” yet Sanyshyn still raised concerns about a lack of money accompanying the deal. “It’s going to be stormy times in education into the fall,” he said. “What you’re going to see is continued erosion. Next year, the (Burnaby school) board is projecting a deficit of over $7 million, and the year after that it’s over $9 million. So what we’ll see is continued erosion of learning conditions for students. You’ll see larger classes, you’ll see classes that have too many special needs students in them. There isn’t a funding envelope that will address those issues in the collec-

referring to the federation’s job actions over the years. “This isn’t about the adults – it’s about what’s best for students.” The 10-year-agreement plan calls for a new council of stakeholders to advise government on education policy, something Sanyshyn takes issue with.

Now, proving damages and holding malicious Internet individuals accountable, will be a challenge. Most of the comments/sites have been removed and even though Burke’s lawyer can send documents and links to those believed to be responsible – it can be an expensive process to manage through the courts. The individuals believed respon-

sible for the comments have been given 33 days to respond to a message asking them to respond to the civil claim for damages. And, of course, if they can prove in a court of law that their statements are true, they would have a defence. Already, one of the 18 Internet commenters listed in Burke’s defamation suit is saying he just passed on the rumour, not realizing that he could be held accountable for that action. Well, this could be one of those expensive life lessons. And rightly so.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MLA-elect Jane Shin is a doctor

Dear Editor:

In response to letters to the editor attacking Jane Shin, in particular the letter from Garth Evans, some clarification: the title of doctor is earned upon achievement of the level of a PhD in many fields, as well as an MD. My son the engineer is a Dr. and can call himself Dr. Elder whether he is a practising engineer, or working at some other occupation; and so on with other doctorates. I am sure Garth is well aware of this, hence I can only assume that his statement; “She calls herself a doctor but has never practised medicine …” is just another smear attempt.

Slavin REGIONAL CLASSIFIED MANAGER Trixi Agrios CLASSIFIED SUPERVISOR Dawn James CLASSIFIED REPS Darla Burns, John Taylor, ACCOUNTING Judy Sharp

From her initial profiles, it was clear to me that Jane Shin decided to teach instead of practising as a physician. And to castigate her now, for using an admittedly poorly chosen adjective at a young age, (as mentioned in the letter from B. Jung) is over the top. Calm down, folks, let her get her act together before jumping all over her – she won the election fair and square. I was also disappointed at the lack of an all-candidates meeting in our riding; but who is to blame for that? A non-involved group has to sponsor such a meeting and as far as I can see, none volunteered. Don’t blame the candidate. Marian Elder, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Let Grade 12 students vote Dear Editor:

There has been much said about the deplorably low turnout in recent provincial elections. The chief electoral officer has done much to make it easy to vote, apparently without significant effect as the turnout is still dropping. The message I get from Elections Canada is that if people vote when they are young they continue to vote throughout their lives. I suggest, therefore, to increase voter turnout the voting age should be lowered from 18 to 17 so that all Grade 12 students will be able to vote meaningfully. Each school should then have a polling station in order to make it easy for the students to vote. A few schools now have an all-candidates meeting before an election. If all Grade 12 students could vote it is likely that all secondary schools would hold allcandidates meetings. Students would then feel more engaged and be more likely to vote as they would know they could influence the results. And the expectation is that they would continue to vote in future elections.

Grow up, Jane Shin Dear Editor:

Re: Jane Shin speaks, Burnaby NOW, May 24. Dr. Shin, you now take full responsibil-

Shin’s apology not enough Dear Editor:

Re: Jane Shin speaks, Burnaby NOW, May 24. This is in response to the apology statement from Jane Shin, which was released in person to several news media. There was no substance that makes her personal story acceptable to concerned people of Burnaby-Lougheed. In the action of answering questions prior to the election day, and the actions she took in the last minute and 10 days after election, no one understands her behaviour as that of someone who ran for public office. It raised quite natural questions about whether she could qualify, represent and work effectively in Victoria as an MLA. Participating in provincial elections is a charter right given to every Canadian with good citizenship. Clearly, the statement made by Jane Shin indicates she ignored, obstructed and breached our essential rights. Before facing any legal scrutiny, she should realize what the right things to do are immediately. In public service, fairness and respect to others! Integrity, professionalism, responsibility and accountability.

Pipeline: Won’t be easy sell continued from page 6

transport capacity the project represents, Harper and his ministers are searching for an alternative. Thus they’re spending a lot of time and taxpayer money lobbying the U.S. administration and Congress to approve the building of Keystone XL, a proposed pipeline between Alberta and the U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. In effect, they’re attempting to hedge the realization of the two pipeline objective. Even if Keystone XL is given the go-ahead by President Obama, that still leaves the matter of a pipeline to the west coast. But the Kinder Morgan proposal won’t be an easy sell. Last year, both the cities of Vancouver and Burnaby

came out against the proposal, and during the recent election the provincial NDP stated it objected to the prospect of turning the Metro Vancouver area into an oil exporting port. Too, earlier this year the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and the First Nations Assembly declared their opposition to “tar sands projects,” referring to Kinder Morgan expansion plans specifically. Added to this is the opposition of environment organizations as well as newly created citizen groups like Burnaby Residents Opposing KinderMorgan Expansion (BROKE). It’s a formidable array. But this likely won’t stop the re-elected B.C. Liberal government from

supporting, either directly or by default, the Kinder Morgan expansion. Christy Clark will probably trot out her five conditions, but they can be finessed or, since it’s early days of her mandate, deconstructed. However she comes at it, her main objective will be to make nice with the Alberta government to make up for sideswiping its premier last fall, as well as to extend an olive branch to the Harper government, a sort of mea culpa for messing with the federally backed Northern Gateway project. In other words, she is motivated to give them what they want. Bill Brassington is a frequent letter writer to the Burnaby NOW.

You’re Invited Metrotown SkyTrain Station and Exchange Upgrades Open House

Visit www.burnabynow.com

Metrotown SkyTrain Station is the second busiest station in TransLink’s network, and one of the original Expo Line stations opened in 1986. Metrotown is also a major bus exchange, with direct bus services to almost every sub-regional service area. Both facilities are operating at or over capacity, and have significant access and accessibility challenges. With funding provided through the Building Canada Fund, TransLink, in partnership with the Federal and Provincial governments, is about to undertake substantial upgrades to the station and bus exchange. Two open houses are being held at this early stage to gather feedback on the conceptual design. OPEN HOUSE DETAILS:

NO SIGNIFICANT EMISSIONS DETECTED

Power outage at Chevron results in ‘high flare’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

North Burnaby residents may have noticed an unusual plume of smoke coming from the Chevron refinery, following a power outage on Saturday evening. According to refinery spokesperson Ray Lord, the outage happened on Saturday, May 25, around 9 p.m. “The entire refinery was affected, and

our safety systems functioned as designed. The event did, however, result in a high flare overnight and periodically over the rest of the weekend as the operating units were being stabilized,” Lord wrote in an email to the NOW. “Local regulatory and public safety agencies were advised of the refinery’s operating status following the power interruption.” Ray also said that “a period of higher than normal stack opacity was seen from

their cars with flying insects, which originate from the neighbour’s compost bins. They also state that city staff was involved, but there was still no change in the situation. “We regret to inform you that after (city staff) undertook to contact our neighbours to provide information on proper composting techniques … there has been zero improvement of the situation, the smell is offensive and unbearable,” their letter states. City staff had already checked out the issue, but did not consider it a serious problem, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan. Corrigan said it warrants a second look and it would help to investigate what other

municipalities have done to see what the options are. Council referred the delegation’s comments to staff and the environment committee. “There’s very often not a lot of easy ways to fix what is, in essence, a good-neighbour issue,” Corrigan said. “Unfortunately, in this case, you tried that, and it hasn’t worked. So, we’ll take a look at what practices (there) are and see if there’s anything that we can do from our point of view.” When it comes to keeping a clean and fresh compost bin, it’s about maintaining air circulation, according to Burnaby’s environmental services officer Tracey Tobin.

We believe that at no time did this condi-

tion present any risk to the surrounding neighbourhood.” Metro Vancouver, which monitors air quality, received complaints from three people regarding the incident, but monitoring stations did not detect significant levels of sulphur dioxide or fine particulate matter in the air. Metro Vancouver confirmed there were petroleum odours beyond the refinery and plans to follow up with Chevron regarding the emissions.

There are roughly eight students with special needs and 20 “peer buddies.” They hang out regularly and form relationships, while fostering an inclusive atmosphere at the school. Boriana Kuteva, a 17-year-old Grade 12 student, has been with Alpha’s Best Buddies chapter since it started three years ago. School groups often raise money for various charitable causes, but one thing that attracted Kuteva to Best Buddies was the immediate effect. “It was one of those groups where you actually saw the impact at school, the acceptance of students with disabilities around the school,” she says, offering an example from last year, when a Grade 8 girl stood up to her friend, who was makPhotos Jennifer Moreau/burnaby now ing fun of one of the students with special needs.

he Burnaby NOW recently chatted with musician Shaun Verreault about his career and upcoming performance at this summer’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

Q: How did you get your start in music? A: Well, the band that most people would know me for is a band called Wide Mouth Mason, which I still play in. We put out a record called No Bad Days last year and we just came from promoting it at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin. … But after that … I started doing this thing in Vancouver a couple of years ago where I would invite musicians who had never played together before and had never played with me before on stage and I wouldn’t rehearse them and I wouldn’t have any idea what we were going to do, and then I’d just start playing and see how they would fall in… That’s what this project (is) that I’m playing at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival, called SV and the Killer B’s. It’s a quartet with drums, bass, keyboard and me playing mostly slide guitar, and it’s an opportunity to practise spontaneous creation and

Q: How did you become a successful musician where so many others fall short of the ‘rock star’ goal? A: I think the music industry is different now than when I was trying to get my foot in the door. In a way there are more opportunities for you to do it whichever way you want, but there’s less of a system to plug into to make all of those things happen, and maybe less

Sending her heart: Burnaby resident Constance Pell holds up the flag she made for the To Boston With Love quilt project. More than 1,700 flags were sent to Boston from around the world as a message of hope.

Sewing a message of hope Cayley Dobie staff reporter

It’s been more than a month since a bomb exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon and one woman from Burnaby has found her own way of sending hope to the people affected. “I wanted to be part of something positive and so that just took legs and it was absolutely fantastic,” said Constance Pell. Pell is part of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild whose members made 92 flags of hope to send to Boston. “You could do anything you wanted to encourage (the Boston) community,” she said. The flags were the idea of North Vancouver quilter Berene Campbell. She told guild members she had dreamt about a small flag blowing in a tree at the Boston Marathon. According to Pell, everyone was keen to get started on the project and soon word spread through the quilting community around the world. The flags are small, resembling prayer flags, and each one was

Blues: Verreault’s eclectic mix continued from page 14

were as a band and as a machine when we played with them. Seeing the Stones or AC/DC up close was pretty mind-boggling and you pinch yourself, but it was also interesting to see what the crew and the machine around them would do to put a show on like that. Any time you feel like, oh, man, we’ve been on the road for nine weeks and I’m exhausted, then you’d see Angus Young get carried off the stage every night by a couple people who’d throw a towel over him and carry him off, completely spent. I’m thinking, he’s been doing this forever and lives in a castle filled with money and still decides, “Everyone who came to see me play deserves to see me give everything I have,” and it becomes this ritualistic thing of how much of myself can I burn off at this show? I saw the same thing happen with Mick Jagger when he had this horrible flu and was ill and pasty and sweaty and went on stage and no one would have any idea. And it wasn’t like it was at Madison Square Gardens that night, either. It was one of the smallest shows of the tour and he still went out and performed as if it was one of the most important gigs of his life. Those things were really inspiring to me, and to us as a band. Whether it’s a small club somewhere or the SkyDome, you play as if your heroes are watching you, because maybe in some way, somehow, they are. Q: How do you not let it get to your head and become the stereotypical rock star? A: You measure yourself against your heroes, not against your peers, and then there’s always work to be done. This year, I’ll have been playing guitar for 30 years, and I think in about the last seven to 10 years I’ve sort of found in the particular way that I play slide, kind of my own voice now, after doing it for that long.

So that’s always humbling, and the music business has a way of humbling you, too. You have a single that does really well and you play with the Stones in the SkyDome and the next day you’re playing in a half-filled small club …. The music business will start to chop you down if you start to feel too proud of yourself.

Q: Where would you be today if you weren’t a musician? A: Who knows? I probably wouldn’t have travelled as much as I have. I wouldn’t have seen as many things as I have. I would be less expressive as a human being. It’s the cliché of in jail or dead, but really, I don’t know. When you’re growing up and you want to get attention, if you can’t get good attention, you’ll settle for the other kind. I got enough good attention from being the guy who was a guitar player that I didn’t have to go seek out a lot of other kinds of attention. So, it is a cliché, but nights where I’d be using my energy to find some other way to feel a buzz, I’d be playing a show somewhere, or rehearsing with my band, or in my bedroom freaking out that I’d figured out the chords in Spanish Castle Magic. Q: What can fans expect from your set here in August? A: It’s a real mix. It’s definitely blues and R&B-based, but it also comes from a place of jazz and sort of the network of U.S. jam bands, you know, Government Mule and the Allman Brothers and Derek Trucks Band and that kind of stuff where it’s very much improvised but also danceable and fun. Just because we’re making it up – and it’s really rich musically to be a navalgazing academic affair – you’ve got to be able to move to it and the whole idea of making things up together is to build peaks and valleys and excitement into it – waves that you get to ride that the audience gets to ride with you.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A program supporting seniors who want to live at home longer has come to Burnaby, and organizers are calling for the public’s input on how the program will work locally. Better At Home is a program that helps low-income seniors with various tasks, to help them live independently in their own homes. Each community that adopts the program can decide what services to focus on, which is why organizers are hosting a public input meeting on Thursday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Shadbolt centre in Burnaby. Gerontologist Mariam Larson is the Better at Home community developer for Burnaby. Since April, she’s been talking with

seniors and service providers about what would help Burnaby seniors remain independent for as long as possible. Better At Home is a program funded by the B.C. Health Ministry and delivered by the United Way. It’s designed to help low-income seniors get help with non-medical tasks, such as friendly visits, help with groceries, minor home repairs, transportation, light yard work and housekeeping, depending on the needs of the community. Volunteers typically deliver the services, and seniors pay based on their income. The fees go back into the program to support others who are using the services. The program is meant to help lowincome seniors without taking business away from the private sector. To register for the public input meeting, call 604-515-1718 or email manage@ mariamlarson.com. For more information on the program, visit www.betterathome.ca. The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is located at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Recognize kids for unique strengths PARENTING Kathy Lynn

remember report card day in elementary school. The cards would be handed out in order of success. So the kids with the best marks were called up first. It was awful. I remember standing in a group while we were chosen to play on team A or team B. I knew I would be standing there for a long time and likely picked last. It was awful. This is the kind of behaviour that has caused us to want to recognize all kids equally. And we do, but have we now gone too far? All kids are not equal in all endeavours. With the exception of two-year-olds who believe they can take on the world, kids know this. Ask them who the best runner is in Grade 1 and they all know. And they tend not to judge, until an adult lines them up to choose a team with each team leader (the two children determined by the adult to be the most skilled at whatever sport) select-

by simply turning up? Recognition events that shame or put down kids are a bad idea. Recognition that recognizes kids for who and what they are and their effort is fabulous. So what about elite athletes? Should parents and coaches push kids who seem to have special talent? A number of years ago, I chaired a panel with Karen Magnussen and Kathy Kreiner-Phillips. Karen Magnussen is a five-time Canadian champion figure skater and a world gold medalist who won a silver medal in the Sapporo Olympics in 1972. Kathy Kreiner-Phillips won gold in the 1974 World Cup in the giant slalom. She followed up two years later by taking gold in the Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Both women said true elite athletes need no pushing. They have a sort of internal engine that causes them to do what’s needed to meet the standard of excellence required. They both told stories about getting themselves up in the morning and

going for a run before asking their parents to take them to the rink or ski hill. Magnussen said she would arrive at the rink so early she usually had to knock on the caretakers’ window to get in. So the message is, if you have to push your child, she is not an elite athlete. And let’s face it; few of us reach that pinnacle. Don’t be afraid of all

LOCAL RESOURCE OF INFORMATION & IDEAS FOR TODAY’S BUSY FAMILIES

Adventures in Dreamland Summer Camp Burnaby Bible Hour is a multi-cultural youth group that has had a strong presence in the community for thirty-ﬁve years. The group meets every Monday evening September-April from 6:30-7:30 for an exciting night of singing, activities, and lessons from the Bible. We offer age-appropriate classes for kids ages 2-18, and there is an adult ESL class at the same time. We have a summer camp every year, and this year it will run from 10:30-12 every morning from August 12th-16th. We are so excited to announce that this year’s topic will be Adventures in Dreamland! We are busy planning dreamy snacks and prizes to match the Bible dream stories we will be teaching each day. We run an exciting contest each year, where the three people who bring the most new kids get to choose a prize, and this year the prizes will be extra-dreamy! There will be more dreamy prizes for memorization of verses and two kids will receive a prize each day just for being the best boy or the best girl! Something really exciting will happen on the

last day, but you will have to come to ﬁnd out what it is!! This is a Bible-based club. Why? We believe the Bible has practical and moral lessons for everyone. It teaches respect for authority and obedience to parents, and is full of life lessons. It is an integral part of world history and literature and the basis of Canada’s laws. Most importantly, however, it tells us God’s plan of salvation and what it truly means to be a Christian.

Burnaby Bible Hour has grown from a small group of twelve kids in a private home to the large group it is today. It was run out of Lakeview School for many years, until it found a permanent home in the South Burnaby Gospel Hall building at the corner of Elwell and Grifﬁths. With ample parking and a bright interior it is a lovely location for us. Burnaby Bible Hour is a great place for kids to meet new friends while hanging out in a safe place. It’s also a great place for parents to meet other parents. So we invite you to come and dream with us in the summer, or join us for our regular winter activities. You’ll be glad you did! If you have enquiries or would to like to register for the summer camp, please call 604-526-6008.

Fast times at St. Thomas More

A win in the boys’ 4x100m would make B.C. history Tom Berridge

sports editor

The St. Thomas More Knights 4x400 metre boys’ relay team is one win away from establishing itself as the fastest program in the province. The Knights foursome of Massimo Pozzolo, Malcom Lee, Sebastian Adugalski and Giovanni Trasolini clocked a seasonbest 43.3 at the Oregon Relays earlier this month and boast the quickest seed time heading into the B.C. high school track and field championship meet in Langley Friday. A win would give STM seniors Adugalski and Trasolini, and the school, their third straight senior gold medal in the event. That feat would match an earlier program threepeat from 2006 to 2008. when a Knights’ relay team of Daniel Wierzibicki, Keenan Parker, Sam Carino and Cesar Abraham posted a program-best 43.08 time in 2007. STM also won the 400m relay in 1997 and 1989, with future Olympian Peter Ogilvie, who still holds the provincial high school 100m sprint record at 10.46. The Burnaby independent school is currently tied with Mt. Douglas Secondary, both with seven wins in the 4x100m. The south Vancouver Island school achieved its winning string in an eight-year span, beginning in 1969 and including six

Fast friends: From left, Massimo Pozzolo, Malcom Lee, Giovanni Trasolini and Sebastian Adugalski are looking to bring St. Thomas More Collegiate its eighth 4x100 metre provincial boys’ title. consecutive titles from 1971 to ’76. This season, Mt. Doug’s boys’ relay team placed second in the Island championships in a time of 45.48. “The history means a lot,” said Lee, who runs the second leg of the relay. “It’s good for our school. We work hard and we take a lot of pride in it. It’s an expectation now.” Newcomer to the team is junior Massimo Pozzolo, who will run the lead leg. “It puts a lot of pressure on us. But as they say, ‘It can either make you collapse, or make diamonds,’

and I think that will honestly help us,” Pozzolo said. Back for a fifth consecutive season as third and anchor, respectively, Adugalski and Trasolini would like nothing better than to finish their high school track careers together on top. Last year, Trasolini took the final handoff trailing the leaders and ran a memorable last leg to claim the gold medal. On Friday, the Knights hope they won’t need such dramatics. “It’s all about timing, and Gio and I have what

it takes,” said Adugalski. “We don’t want to change anything. We might as well stick with it.” “I think it’s just the desire to win, because we’re all fast,” Trasolini added. “It would separate us from all the other schools, too.” Lee and Trasolini will also compete in the individual sprints, while Adugalski qualified in the 400m and 400m hurdles. Not to be outdone, STM girls’ sprint relay team of Jordana Blaeser, Alexis Llewellyn, Rachel Shuttleworth and Grade

9 sensation Zion Corrales Nelson also have a prime opportunity to bring a firstever B.C. title in the sprint relay to the program. “Last year we came third. This year we’re aiming at the gold, and we think we have a pretty good shot,” said Shuttleworth, the lone senior on the team. The STM women qualified for the championships with the No. 1 seed time in the province. “It would mean a lot. Obviously, the guys have done well, but both of us Relay Page 35

Jr. B Lakers earn point against first-place Islanders Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers took over sole possession of third place in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League following a 7-7 tie with the Delta Islanders on Monday. Burnaby got the jump on the first-place Delta club, opening up a 5-1 lead after 20 minutes of play. But the Islanders, playing before a home crowd at the Ladner Leisure Centre, clawed their way back into the contest, ending the middle period trailing by just one

goal 6-5. Delta tied the score six minutes into the final frame, but Burnaby’s Kevan Galte regained the lead for the Lakers after a spectacular shorthanded goal. Playing on the shortman midway through the period, Galte controlled the ball on a solo rag, beating three Delta defenders while circling the net and finally scoring the go-ahead goal on an over the shoulder shot before he was checked to the floor. Galte finished the night with a four-point game. The Islanders knotted the con-

test on a late power play. Rookie Colin Galte and Ryan Lasaleta both scored two goals for the Lakers. Younger brother Jason Lasaleta, one of two intermediate A callups, had two assists in the draw. Aaron Roberts also had a twopoint night, including a goal. Rookie goalie Cody Gilliam had another strong game in net, stopping 41 Delta shots. “We were not at our best last night, and Delta is very fast. But as I said, we really felt we should have won this game, but we made some errors,” said Burnaby team

manager Pam Johnson. Hopefully we will come back stronger, she added. With the tie, the Lakers moved one point ahead of the fourthplace Port Coquitlam Saints, with 13 points. Delta continued to lead the pack with a record of 7-1-2, while the Coquitlam Adanacs are just a point behind, with a game in hand, at 7-1-1. The 6-1-1 Lakers will take on the last-place Langley Warriors tonight (Friday) at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Game time is 8 p.m.

Another off period cost the Burnaby Lakers a badly needed win in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League last weekend. The junior A Lakers managed to keep within striking distance of the Victoria Shamrocks before a six-goal letdown led to a 14-7 loss at Bear Mountain Arena last Saturday. In a game where Burnaby was outshot 5737, Laker keeper Xander McDonald earned his keep and more, making 43 saves to keep his team in the contest. The Lakers held a 4-3 advantage after the first period on two late goals 30 seconds apart by Justin Appels and Brenden Shea with little more than a minute to play. Burnaby took a 5-3 lead on Shea’s hat-trick marker two minutes into the middle frame. But Victoria countered with five straight scores before the Lakers clawed back a three-goal deficit with two of their own in the final minute of the period. Trenton Matsuzaki and call-up Danny Spagnuolo’s second of the game at 19:25 of the second period left Burnaby trailing 8-7 heading into the third. But Victoria goalie Cody Hagedorn closed the door on any chance of a Burnaby upset in the final period. Hagedorn kicked out all 10 Laker shots for the win. Shea led all players with six points, while Burnaby team captain Peyton Lupul collected four points, all assists. Appels, who currently leads the Lakers with 21 points, had a goal and three helpers in a losing cause. Burnaby’s next game is in Port Coquitlam today (on Friday). Game time is 8 p.m. The Lakers next home game is on June 2 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre against the Victoria Shamrocks. Faceoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.

STM senior wins B.C. AA golf title Tom Berridge

sports editor

Grade 12 senior Alan Tolusso is this year’s winner of the B.C. high school AA golf championships. The St. Thomas More Collegiate student carded a two-over-par 142 at Arbutus Ridge Golf and Country Club on Tuesday to top the individual leaderboard nine strokes ahead of runner-up Tristan Mandur of Mill Bay. Tolusso, who won an unofficial high school title last year at the same Victoria area course, was consistent through 36 holes under inclement conditions at the two-day tournament, committing just six bogies, while making two birdies and an eagle on Day 1 on the par 5 10th hole. STM’s Kevin Vigna suffered a hand strain on Day 1 and was forced to abandon his round, but came back on the Tuesday to match Tolusso with a twounder 70. The loss of Vigna’s opening day score to the team’s cumulative total cost STM

its fifth straight AA high school provincial title. Kwalikum Secondary took top spot with a 624 teamtotal,whileShawnigan Lake was eight shots back in second place. STM finished in third place with a 638 total after coming back on Day 2 to card a tournament-best 302 team 18-hole score. “I was just really, really proud of everybody, especially (Kevin), said STM coach Joe Thierman. “The course was outstanding in its ability to absorb the water. There was little standing water on the fairways. But it was very trying.” For the first time, STM had girls who qualified for the team competition at the provincials. Mary Parsons finished 28th overall on the strength of an opening round 78. Breanna Croxen was three strokes back tied for 31st with a 171 total. Brendan Lancaster bounced back after a dismal Day 1, finishing the tournament with a nine-over 79 to finish 46th overall.

Zion Corrales Nelson of Burnaby has been lighting it up on the track down south. The Grade 9 St. Thomas More student recently won the women’s 400 metres against NCAA athletes in a time of 55.7 at the recent University of Oregon Twilight meet. She was also a runnerup in the 200m with a 24.5 clocking. Corrales Nelson was first in the 100m at the Oregon Relays junior event and second in the senior 200m.

Record setter

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Georgia Ellenwood, daughter of Burnaby Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services director Dave Ellenwood, won the B.C. high school girls’ heptathlon for a fourth time in Abbotsford last weekend. The Grade 12 Langley Secondary student won all but the javelin in the sevendiscipline multi-sport competition, compiling a provincial record total of 5,296 points. The new mark also surpassed Ellenwood’s 5,288 personal-best score set last month at the Mt. Sac Relays that bettered Burnaby Central grad Angela Anoliefoh’s junior meet record score set in 2001 by 19 points.

coming first would be a huge celebration,” said Blaeser. Running anchor for the girls’ team is Corrales Nelson, who will also compete in the individual 100, 200 and 400m. “She’s gifted, for sure,” said Llewellyn. The teams credit their coaches with preparing them for what is ahead, and

the school body in general for its unconditional support. “We try to set an example on the track and in school, and to play a big role in being positive examples,” Adugalski said. “Hopefully we can say the ultimate thank you by giving our best performance on Friday,” Trasolini added. tberridge@burnabynow.com
