RCMP look for arsonist Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Suspicious: Mounties are investigating several fires at an apartment complex on Kingsway Avenue. The RCMP is hoping the public may have information that could lead them to a suspect.

A series of fires at an apartment complex in Burnaby has RCMP turning to the community in hopes someone has information that might lead investigators to a suspect.

On Jan. 3 at 7:27 a.m. there was a small fire in the stairway of an apartment at 7575 Kingsway Ave. in South Burnaby. A resident used a fire extinguisher to stop the fire before it got out of control, and there was minor damage to the drywall and carpet, according to Insp. Bob Page of the Burnaby RCMP. The following day, on Jan. 4, a second fire was reported, this time on the ground floor of the building around 7 p.m. Again, a tenant was able to extinguish the fire before it got out of control, Page added.

“Then there’s a third fire on Jan. 24,” Page said.

This time the Burnaby Fire Department was called out to the apartment complex after an alarm was triggered. Firefighters located the small fire in the first floor hallway and put it Arson Page 8

Oil pipeline: Teachers concerned about safety Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association is raising concerns that the new Kinder Morgan oil pipeline will run close to even more local schools.

The teachers’ association is opposed to the pipeline expansion and has joined a growing number of applicants hoping to intervene in the National Energy Board’s upcoming hearing for the project.

“The concern is if there is a pipeline rupture – and it’s inevitable there will be, we just don’t know how bad it’s going to be – our members, as far as we know,

haven’t received any training on how to deal with a pipeline leak,” said Patrick Parkes, the association’s first vice-president. “A pipeline leak is pretty different from an earthquake or a fire. I don’t know what you can do to adequately protect staff and students from airborne issues.”

The current pipeline, which has been transporting oil from Alberta to Burnaby since the 1950s, already runs along two elementary school properties: Forest Grove and Stoney Creek.

The association is also raising concerns that the pipeline route for the proposed

Burnaby council expressed its serious concern over how the railway company responsible for the coal spill is the same one organizing the environment impact study.

Leon Gous, director of engineering, updated council on the status of the CP train derailment that overturned seven cars, with three cars dumping about 40 tonnes of metallurgical coal along the embankment and into Silver Creek on CN’s rails on Jan. 11.

“Following the incident, coal from the derailed cars and the embankment area was removed and placed onto a tarped section on the north side of the rail tracks next to Government Road,” Gous states in his report. “All of the train cars were removed from the site and the damaged embankment was repaired using large rocks.”

As the railway lines belong to CN, it is responsible for the cleanup. The national company retained Triton Environmental Limited to assist in the development of a work plan. The data collected from a survey by Triton will be used to develop a draft response plan for coal recovery from the waterways,

‘I REMEMBER SOMEONE ELSE WHO WAS INVOLVED IN BOOK BURNING’ – MAYOR CORRIGAN

Council blasts feds closing libraries Stefania Seccia staff reporter

A descent into the Dark Ages is how Burnaby council views the federal government’s decision to shut down national libraries, at its last council meeting.

On Jan. 27, council asked Mayor Derek Corrigan to write a “strong” letter protesting the closure of federal libraries and the destruction of research and other records, to the prime minister and minister of fisheries and oceans.

The environment committee had raised particular concern for the closure of seven of 11 regional department of fisheries and oceans libraries – which housed decades of aquatic research – among the other types of national libraries that have closed their doors.

Due to copyright laws, many documents cannot be digitized, which means many of the documents will disappear, Kang said.

“People have witnessed that research and reports were scooped up and given away for free to private companies, or they were destroyed, being hauled down to dumpsters – and that is before these materials were digitized,” Kang added. “Libraries are very valuable to our communities.”

Court decision could impact Burnaby students along.

“We have some classes in Burnaby with up to seven and eight special needs students in one class, so that’s quadruple of what the limit would have been at that time,” said James Sanyshyn, president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association.

Because the 2002 language has been retroactively reinstated, the teachers can file a grievance for that period and ask for remedies at the bargaining table, Sanyshyn explained.

Sanyshyn said that grievance may be filed provincially by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation or locally, on a district-level.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

B.C. teachers have won a 12-year battle with the provincial government over bargaining rights, but what that means for Burnaby schools is still up in the air.

Monday’s major B.C. Supreme court decision found provincial government legislation that limited teachers’ bargaining rights and removed limits on class sizes and the numbers of special needs students was unconstitutional.

Since the court decision reinstates language from the teachers’ 2002 contract, those limits should have been in place all

“But certainly what has happened for over 12 years in Burnaby needs to be taken into account in whatever kind of grievance we file,” Sanyshyn said. “We’ve been quite good with class sizes in Burnaby. …

But where we have suffered in Burnaby is around the composition issue.”

According to Sanyshyn, there are more than 400 classes in Burnaby with more than three special needs students.

“If we had a magic wand and we could wave it today, there would be a whole lot more teachers in Burnaby,” he said.

In 2011, the BCTF won a similar court case, where the government’s Bill 28 was

struck down and deemed unconstitutional, but the Liberals responded by bringing in Bill 22, which in Monday’s decision was described as virtually identical.

As a result, the province was ordered to pay the teachers $2 million in damages, plus legal costs. The BCTF is also in the midst of contract negotiations with the province, and Sanyshyn wants to see more funding for education and teachers’ wages from the province.

“They need to bring dollars to the table, which will work in opposition to their political goal, which is to balance the budget at any cost,” he said.

City MP’s e-petition motion Bus route changes at open house passes with two vote margin Canadians may soon be able to submit electronic petitions to members of Parliament, now that Kennedy Stewart’s e-petition motion has passed in the House of Commons.

“At a time when more and more Canadians are feeling left out of the political process, it is encouraging that MPs from all parties put aside partisan differences and agreed to improve grassroots democracy,” Stewart said in a media statement.

As a member of the Official Opposition, Stewart’s motion stood little chance of being passed, but he managed to secure support from a few

Conservative backbenchers, and the motion passed by two votes.

The House of Commons accepts petitions on paper but not online versions, which are becoming more and more popular.

Stewart’s motion also proposes that short Parliamentary debates be triggered when a petition receives a significant number of signatures and is sponsored by at least five MPs. A Parliamentary committee is spending the next year, developing recommendations on how to best implement e-petitioning.

TransLink is taking proposed changes to two bus routes in Burnaby to an open house next week.

On Feb. 4, the public can give input on a potential redesign of bus routes 49 and 116, which will affect Burnaby transit users.

“They most likely will be implemented later this year,” Jiana Ling, TransLink spokesperson, told the Burnaby NOW. “We’re just going out early to get public consultation on them.”

The 49 bus goes from Vancouver to Burnaby along 49th Avenue, and the changes are expected to make it five minutes faster per trip, according to Ling. The Champlain Mall service will be removed and some customers will have to walk a further distance to access it.

The 116 bus route changes will meet the growing needs of the industrial community

in the Big Bend area, Ling said. Some customers may experience a longer travel time of about seven minutes per trip. Although one stop is being removed, the route is being extended.

“Basically these redesigns are supposed to make these routes more efficient, and service faster,” Ling added. “People can go out and voice their concerns if they’re for it or not.”

There will be four open houses held across Metro Vancouver in February, as there are proposed service changes in Delta, Richmond, North Vancouver and Vancouver, as well.

The Burnaby open house will be held at the Holiday Inn Express-Metrotown, from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4. For more information, visit www.translink.ca.

on those projects to get from point A to point B. Transportation Minister Todd Stone was reported as saying, “The mayors have not come together to unite on a common vision for transit and transportation priorities yet it’s their responsibility to do so.” Apparently he wasn’t joking when he said this.

Mayors are elected to promote and protect their own turf. Or at least that’s what the taxpayers say they want them to do. Common visions which include other municipalities are seldom on their

‘vote-for-me-brochures’.

One only has to look at the Pattullo bridge situation to see the clash of territories. New Westminster is trying to stop the flood of traffic evading the new Port Mann bridge tolls. The city isn’t receiving a whole lot of sympathy or support from the league of Lower Mainland mayors. In fact, the city is appealing to Clark for action. Meanwhile TransLink is still trying to come up with updated traffic stats on the bridge.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Legalize assisted suicide now Dear Editor:

Re: Choosing her own fate, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 24. Assisted suicide should be legal. Doctor-assisted suicide should be set aside as a separate issue. It clouds the main point. It slows the whole debate.

You can learn how to kill someone in a few days. It takes seven years or more to become a doctor. Most importantly, doctor-assisted suicide goes against the doctor’s primary purpose – to save life.

It’s outside the job description. No wonder the doctors resist.

Doctors have enough worries trying to keep us alive. No doctor should ever be accused of encouraging a suicide to free a hospital bed or to provide an organ to another patient. No doctor should ever

have such doubts of his own actions. No doctor should ever say “Did I do enough to help that person survive, or did I just take the easy route?”

The ending of life is an entirely different job and requires an entirely different set of skills. Done properly, it requires that the person doing the job determine that quality of life is the issue and not just temporary depression. If it is determined that the depression is temporary, the person would be sent back to the healers. If not, the patient would proceed with their rights to a person skilled at killing.

Parliament needs to allow assisted suicide, but it needs to be done right by the right people. Doctors should be written out of the plan. They have enough to deal with. If the issues are properly separated, the decision should be easy to reach.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t lay a guilt trip on me Dear Editor:

Since I missed the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown meeting for public input on offering an apology to the Chinese for the head tax of long ago, I’d like to offer my input now.

The first question raised to me was, since when does our B.C. Liberal government adopt an idea put forth by a defeated NDP opposition leader? The answer, obviously, is only when it looks good for votes.

In fact I’ll bet Adrian Dix is kicking himself around the block right now that he didn’t think of that apology idea during the election last May. Or maybe his whole party is kicking him for missing that “quick win” strategy. Surely he could have swept Vancouver where 19 out of the 20 most common names are now Chinese according to Canada 411.

Apologies are meaningless to present generations of Chinese unless there’s money attached, although they set precedents for financial compensation.

And if there’s money then the door is opened to racial discrimination complaints from other ethnic or special interest groups who feel that they should also be able to hop on the gravy train. But first of course, they have to represent enough

votes for any politician or political party to speak up for them.

No one is going to lay a guilt trip on me as a white Anglo-Saxon about apologies, especially when I’m now a member of the new minority race. And that may be what our forefathers wanted to prevent in the first place.

Jim Ervin, Burnaby

Thanks to kind strangers Dear Editor:

On Saturday, Jan. 18, I was walking through the restaurant parking lot on the corner of Kingsway and Nelson in Burnaby when I somehow tripped and fell, landing on my face.

A lady in a wheelchair called 911 for me and also a young couple came over to help – I asked her to please get my husband for me, which she did while the man stayed and talked to me making sure I was OK until the ambulance came. He was very nice and kept me relaxed.

Even though I did thank them, I also wanted to let them know I appreciated all the help they gave to me that afternoon.

I also want to say thank you to the paramedics and the fire department for the care I received.

Annual business licences have long been an annoyance to entrepreneurs. While some jurisdictions have tried to push regional licences, the best solution can be found in the City of Langford, which decided to scrap annual business licences.

Instead, Langford businesses will pay the old fee once for a “perpetual” licence.

When it comes to consulting taxpayers on large projects, Port Coquitlam broke the mould this year.

Instead of putting a major recreation centre renovation – and 1.5 per cent tax increase – into its budget, Port Coquitlam went to the public with a 0.34 per cent tax cut, and an option to add the rec centre, if the community wants it.

ONLINE COMMENTS Find us on facebook at: Facebook/BurnabyNOW Or on Twitter at: @BurnabyNOW_news Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Streamkeeper 1952: Don’t you have to maintain an ecological setback for it to be beneficial? (Environmental services officer Christine) Ensing seems to think you can bulldoze the whole setback and build a road, and then at some later point re-plant (probably with a bunch of exotics). The main point is to not work within the setback. Loggers can’t log in a buffer and re-plant, developers shouldn’t develop in one, even temporarily. Add 30 yards to this setback and give the salmon a break.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Burnaby_Birder: Forget about the birds for a minute, Byrne Creek is also an important salmon-bearing stream. Provincial regulations require at least a 15m buffer from the bank alongside a second-order salmon stream, although I agree 30m or even 100m would be much better in this urban environment. Clearly regulations are being ignored for this development.

out. The fire caused only minor damage to the wall and carpet, Page added.

“We’re looking for anyone who might have information on these (fires),” Page said. “We’ve also got a notice out to the tenants to be vigilant in reporting any suspicious activity.”

Mounties are concerned about the similarities between each fire and how many have occurred in such a short period of time. Page said this could indicate all three fires were started by the same person, but who that person is and what his or her motive is, continues to evade investigators.

“The investigation is ongoing, so for the purpose of the integrity of the investigation I don’t want to disclose where

we’re at, but definitely we’re looking for anyone who might have information to call (police),” he said.

While none of the fires have caused any major damage or injuries, police are worried about the locations of the fires.

“Like any fire, it can spread, and when they’re in stairways, that’s points of exit, so that’s very concerning for us,” Page said.

Anyone with information on these fires is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 and ask to speak with the arson investigator with the detachment’s economic crime unit. People can also report any tips to Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-8477. If anyone witnesses a fire, they are reminded to call 911 immediately.

Libraries: Federal conservatives ‘bringing us back to the Dark Ages’ continued from page 3

expressed his dismay over the situation.

“It’s barbaric,” he said. “I don’t use that term lightly because it actually brings us back to the times of the barbarian invasions, back to the Dark Ages. They say you can’t move back the clock, but here it is, the Harper government is bringing us back to the Dark Ages.”

On Jan. 7, Gail Shea, minister of fisheries and oceans, released a statement to correct the “serious misinformation … spread recently about the consolidation of Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries.”

“The primary users of DFO libraries, over 86 per cent are employees of the

department,” she said. “An average of only five to 12 people who work outside of DFO visited our 11 libraries each year.

It is not fair to taxpayers to make them pay for libraries that so few people actually used.”

Shea said users prefer to access digitized materials, and that duplicate materials were offered to other libraries and third parties, if they wanted them.

“It is absolutely false to insinuate that any books were burnt,” she noted.

However, according to several media reports, council isn’t alone in being skeptical as many other scientists have questioned the federal government’s claims. twitter.com/stefania_seccia

Coal: Work underway on cleanup after train derailment in Burnaby continued from page 3

The provincial ministry should hire an independent contractor to report back to the ministry, and then send the bill to the “polluters,” Dhaliwal said.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he was also concerned, as most people are probably surprised that the company that did the damage is allowed to hire the company to advise how much money should be spent to undo the damage.

“That doesn’t make sense to most average people,” he said. “One would think you’d want the company to be independent and reporting to the Ministry of Environment on what the issues were that should be dealt with.”

Corrigan said Triton’s first duty is to the company that hired them.

“People suspect that they will be offering up a mitigation plan that will most support the company’s objectives, which are to minimize how much money it costs for them,” he said.

Corrigan noted that it’s difficult to determine if the advice from the lawyer of the company responsible for the damage is trustworthy.

“There’s a strange system going on here that seems to permeate (in) the federal government that in fact, it’s big business that will tell you not only what the regulation should be, but exactly how much they should pay and what they should pay if in fact they breached the regulations,” he said.

WHAT’S BEEN DONE According to Burnaby’s director of engineering, Triton Environmental Limited has completed the following steps, which will lead to a draft response plan: Collected geo-referenced coordinates to identify areas where the coal has deposited in Silver Creek, Burnaby Lake and Brunette River; Characterized deposition areas based on particle size and thickness to assist in remediation planning; Outlined habitat characteristics in the channel, such as wetted width, channel width, substrate and cover; and Collected other relevant information to aid in formulating practical solutions for the removal of coal accumulations.

City staff has asked the B.C. ministry to include the following in its assessment and recovery plan: options on methodologies to use in recovering coal from Silver Creek, Burnaby Lake and Brunette River; details on mitigation measures, which would be applied to reduce impacts to various species and life stages (salmon eggs, turtle hibernation, Nooksack Dace); details on monitoring a plan both during and post coal recovery; analysis of the impact to downstream habitats from the fine coal particulates; and details on how much coal was released and recovered.

“City staff has been closely monitoring the assessment phase,” Gous said.

Staff is expected to receive a draft of the recovery plan, and will continue to monitor the clean-up efforts.

Happy birthday, Susan Elliott!

Yet another Burnaby resident turned 100 recently. Susan Elliott, a former Burnaby teacher, celebrated her birthday on Jan. 19, and nearly 50 friends and family members attended. The party was held at the Willingdon Care Centre, where she lives.

Elliott’s husband, whom she met in the 1930s, worked as a principal in the Burnaby school district, and the two were strong believers in education. At the party, Elliott greeted all of her guests personally and received a floral arrangement from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Santa’s helpers: Toy room coordinator Pam Bloom stocks the shelves at the Burnaby Christmas Bureau’s toy room in the lead-up to Christmas. The bureau had another successful year in 2013.

Burnaby folks were full of festive generosity Local charities fared well over the 2013 holiday season Jennifer Moreau and Jane Leung staff reporter

Burnaby residents dug deep in their pockets and opened their hearts this past Christmas season, helping the multitudes of charities and various causes their fellow citizens often rely on in hard times.

Here are a few updates on organizations and how their charitable efforts fared for the holidays.

Sock it to Poverty

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association’s annual drive to help the homeless was a success this season. Every year, the association spearheads a charity drive, called Sock it to Poverty, where teachers collect socks and toiletries for the Progressive Housing Society, which redistributes the

items to Burnaby’s homeless.

For 2013, the association collected 1,115 toiletries, 587 pairs of socks and 97 pairs of gloves and mittens. That’s not to mention the toques, scarves, shorts and underwear they also collected.

“Teachers, students, parents and community members have pulled together to make this year’s campaign a great success,” said association president James Sanyshyn in a press release. “Our collective generosity is a testament to the fact that teachers recognize poverty and homelessness as serious ills facing modern society as a whole.”

Burnaby Christmas Bureau Rotary Coats for Kids

The holidays can be hard on lowincome families. That’s what makes the Burnaby Christmas Bureau so important in ensuring they get extra help to make Christmas magical for the children. The bureau, facilitated by Burnaby Community Services, collects donations of presents and money to make sure children have toys and isolated seniors have hampers for the holidays. This year, donations were high but not quite high enough to meet the $153,000 target.

As of Dec. 27, the bureau had raised $142,342.

“In 2013, Burnaby was incredibly generous. We had a lot of great gifts donated: from bikes, Lego, Barbies, MP3 players, books, gift cards for teens, items for mothers and hampers for seniors,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services.

The non-profit accepts donations yearround, and any toys not used this season will be put towards next year’s stock.

Meanwhile, Burnaby Community Services is looking for volunteer drivers to take seniors to medical appointments and help with income tax returns. For more information on volunteering or donating to the bureau, go to www. burnabycommunityconnections.com.

The annual Rotary Coats for Kids campaign was a success in 2013.

Every year, the Rotary Club of Burnaby-Metrotown collects new and gently used hooded coats to redistribute to local children in need. This past season, Rotary handed out roughly 1,300 coats, according to Gloria Staudt, one of the campaign’s key organizers.

“It just shows the need is still there.

Parents want to make sure their kids are warm,” said Staudt.

Demand is high for coats for babies and kids up to six years old, which Staudt thinks correlates to B.C.’s high child poverty rate.

Rotary also collects cash donations to buy coats when there aren’t enough to go around, and this year, volunteers found they were buying more coats to keep up with demand. People can donate any time of the year. To get involved, email rotarycoatsforkids@gmail.com.

“We do want to thank the community for responding,” Staudt said.

Helping the homeless

Progressive Housing Society hosted a special event in December to help the city’s homeless. The yearly Outreach Christmas was on Dec. 5 at the West Burnaby United Church. More than 300 people attended, and 246 received help from the society. The event included a pancake breakfast, coffee, a hockey tournament, a clothing table, games, present from Santa and entertainment.

Winter fun at city’s historic Patterson House Burnaby is a city with a rich past, and it is that past we honour with our Then and NOW series.

Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

P

atterson House has been a site of snow-day fun in the Edmonds neighbourhood since the early 1900s.

The house was part of a parcel of land at the corner of Kingsway and Edmonds Street, owned by Dugald Campbell Patterson.

The first photo was taken in 1910, but the building completion date is listed in the archives as 1911.

It was renovated in 1912 for the visit of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, who was Governor-General of Canada at the time.

“It was the fancy house, and the Duke and Duchess stayed here,” Dave Myles, one of the current residents, told the NOW. The house was notable in those days for another reason, according to Myles.

“This house had the first flush toilet of all of B.C., and he was so proud of it,” Myles said of Patterson. “You could see the big tank outside the back of the house.”

Patterson, a prominent city pioneer who moved to Burnaby in 1894, served in the First World War and came home in a wheelchair. When he returned to Burnaby, he began writing and pressing for environmental preservation in the city.

“He was actually writing back in the ’30s about why they should be protecting the streams and not cutting down the trees near streams in Burnaby,” Myles said. “He was like an environmentalist ahead of his time.”

His book of poetry was published before his death in 1931.

The house has continued to be a unique fixture in the area. In 1955, it was moved from 7260 Edmonds St. to its current location at 7106 18th Ave. Myles and Luci Baha bought the home in 1986.

“We’re really proud of the house,” Myles said. “It’s one of the few Edwardian heritage homes in Burnaby.”

In the early ’90s, they sold it to a developer – MacLean Management Ltd. The company built a townhouse development behind the house, while agreeing to restore it to its 1912 splendor, Myles said. He continues to live in the home.

“What makes it even quirkier is, I’m actually part of a townhouse division,” he says.

A fond farewell to Burnaby businesses MOVERS & SHAKERS Janaya Fuller-Evans

T

he Movers and Shakers column has generally been dedicated to upcoming events, award winners, business openings and other miscellaneous tidbits from Burnaby’s business community, but today, I want to use this space to thank all the business sources in the community who have come forward and shared their stories.

Since joining the Burnaby NOW newsroom, I have had the privilege of profiling Burnaby

businesses. I have written about the awards and accolades they receive, I have attended Burnaby Board of Trade events, but most importantly, I have had the opportunity to sit with business owners and find out why they choose to open up shop in our city.

Anyone who has ever started a small business knows it isn’t easy. And of course, anyone who has ever started or run a big business knows it isn’t easy, either. It takes a particular kind of person to dedicate themselves to a career beyond the 9 to 5 existence, working whenever necessary, against difficult odds and a high chance of failure.

Those are the people I’ve been lucky enough to interview. In some cases, just when they’re starting

out, and it isn’t always clear whether or not they’ll make it.

In other cases, I’ve written about businesses run by multiple generations of family members, or ones that close when the family members decide to move on to other pursuits.

It has all been fascinating – to hear about what drives business owners, what worries them and what accomplishments fill them with pride.

It isn’t your usual, dry business fare, much of the time. For every story with its share of bureaucratese, I have been able to write many others with frank, fresh perspectives; wonderful quotes and interesting back stories.

There was Burnaby resident Olesya Aleksandrova, owner of Perfect Fabrics, who attrib-

2014 Bus Service Optimization Open House

uted her tenacity when starting her business to her father. She detailed her family’s struggle living and working in Kyrgyzstan, where she grew up.

“I was grown in my strong father’s hand,” the fabric importer said in an interview with the NOW. There was Lynn Mueller, CEO of International Wastewater Systems, who explained his drive to conserve energy by harnessing wasted heat from sewage systems with his sewage Sharc.

“I used to go to these villages in the Arctic, now, these same villages are under water,” Mueller told the NOW. “I personally see the effect of climate change, but I never thought I would in my lifetime.”

And there were families such as the Siormanolakis family, owners of Romana restaurant in the Heights.

They were featured just last year when the restaurant celebrated 40 years in business.

This year, they announced they would be putting the business up for sale by the end of March.

“My parents have worked very, very hard, and they’re very tired, and it’s time to move on,” Jenny Siormanolakis, daughter of the owners, told the NOW. “We know that Romana is an institution, and it couldn’t be there without the support of so many people in Burnaby and the community.”

Community has been a big aspect of covering business in Burnaby. The connections made with

customers and other business people, the desire to create something beyond a successful business venture – something that is a part of the fabric of the community – these are the stories I have been lucky enough to write.

So thank you, to everyone who has sent an email or phoned to let me know about a new business opening, to those of you who have kept in touch over the years and let me know how your businesses are doing, and, of course, to all our readers.

I am off for the next year on maternity leave, but I look forward to coming back and telling your stories upon my return.

Please send items and ideas for business stories to the Burnaby NOW at editorial @burnabynow.com.

We invite you to attend a 2014 Bus Service Optimization Open House to learn more about the proposed changes and how you may be affected, ask questions and review alternative travel options available to you.

49 Service Redesign Adjust the portion of the current route which travels along 54th Avenue.

The new route will remain on 49th Avenue.

Service optimization is the process of reallocating “bus service hours” from areas of low productivity to where customer demand is higher. It’s a critical part of TransLink’s ongoing program of managing the transit network to become more efficient and effective.

YEAR OF THE HORSE

Year of the Horse: Are you an equine?

T

he spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people’s ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Ancient people liked to designate an able person as “Qianli Ma,” a horse that covers a thousand li a day (one li equals 500 meters).

Strengths People born in the year of the horse have ingenious communicating techniques and in their community they always want to be in the limelight. They are clever, kind to others, and like to join in a venture career. Although they sometimes talk too much, they are cheerful, perceptive, talented, earthy but stubborn. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are popular among friends, active at work and refuse to be reconciled to failure, although their endeavor cannot last indefinitely.

their daily work. They are independent and rarely listen to advice. Failure may result in pessimism. They usually have strong endurance but with bad temper.

Flamboyant by nature, they are wasteful since they are not good with matters of finance due to a lack of budgetary efficiency. Some of those who are born in the horse like to move in glamorous circles while pursuing high profile careers.

They tend to interfere in many things and frequently fail to finish projects of their own.

Weaknesses They cannot bear too much constraint. However their interest may be only superficial and lacking real substance. They are usually impatient and hot blooded about everything other than

YEAR OF THE HORSE

Celebrate Chinese New Year with rolls

C

hinese New Year is a traditional holiday that dates back several centuries.

Several myths and traditions are associated with Chinese New Year, which is celebrated in countries across the globe. Those celebrations vary depending on geography, but a focus on family and food is a common theme of celebrants regardless of where they live.

A traditional Chinese New Year celebration will feature a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve. Family members gather for this celebration, which includes a large spread of food featuring dishes of pork, chicken and fish. Specialty dishes that feature meats like duck and Chinese sausage are often reserved for the reunion dinner and other special occasions.

Though Chinese New Year was initially only celebrated within China, it is now observed throughout the world, and celebrations tend to be more grandiose in those communities that feature a large population with Chinese ancestry.

But celebrants need not be Chinese to enjoy the pageantry of Chinese New Year. For example, San Francisco residents, regardless of their ancestry, can enjoy the city’s annual Chinese New Year Festival and Parade, which is the largest celebration of its kind outside of Asia. Vancouver’s Chinatown also hosts a large Chinese New Year parade.

But even those who cannot attend such celebrations can still partake in Chinese New Year festivities by bringing the party into their own homes and kitchens.

Arctic Fiction exhibit opens at gallery sure through the organization.

The work shows a young black bear in a tree.

“Being a father, I know the importance of providing children with a safe and comfortable home,” Mayer Jr. explains in an artist statement online. “A mother bear also wants her children to feel safe in the forest, surrounded by massive, moss-lined trees, overgrown bushes loaded with fresh berries, wild and sweet and possibly a bee hive dripping with honey. In this painting, I wanted to portray this juvenile black bear being perfectly content to climb this half-rotten tree to contemplate its future. Soon he will be full grown and remembering all the good lessons its mother taught him.”

Every year, hundreds of artists from across the continent submit their artwork for a chance to have it made into limited edition prints. The money raised supports Ducks Unlimited’s habitat conservation projects, research, education programs and public policy work.

Get oil changed regularly to prevent sludge

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Is it safe to add a few capfuls of denatured alcohol to the crankcase of my two older vehicles to remove oil sludge

before I change the oil?

– Lorilee RAY: Is it safe? Well, I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to dilute your oil. But you can put a couple of capfuls of almost anything in five quarts of oil without doing a whole lot of damage.

I mean, you can add a couple of capfuls of cat urine to your crankcase and still drive the car for a long time. The question is, why would you want to?

TOM: The same question should be asked of denatured alcohol. I don’t see a good reason to do it.

RAY: First of all, while denatured alcohol is a solvent, we have no idea whether it does anything to remove engine sludge.

TOM: Second, we don’t even know if you have excessive engine sludge.

Did your mechanic tell you that your oil is not draining down quickly enough from the top of

the engine? Or do you just have S.A.D.: sludge anxiety disorder?

RAY: Unfortunately, even if you’re sure your engine is sludged up, it’s unlikely that any oil additive is going to fix it.

TOM: We work on Volvos that develop sludge problems sometimes. What happens is the crankcase ventilation system gets plugged up and doesn’t allow oil fumes to be purged from the engine.

So those fumes get trapped and solidify, forming sludge and gunking up the top of the engine.

RAY: At that point, the only way to remove the sludge is to remove the valve cover and actually scrape off the stuff.

TOM: If you’re wanting to add the denatured alcohol simply as a preventative measure – if you’re worried about getting sludge in the future – then the single best thing you

can do is change the oil regularly instead, and make sure your crankcase ventilation system is working properly.

RAY: Save the denatured alcohol for cleaning your windows.

And on those nights when you toss and turn, restlessly worrying that sludge is somehow building up inside your valve train, get up and change the oil, then go back to bed.

“Sixteen to 25-year-olds account for the highest number of impaired drivers involved in crashes,” Niela Melanio, communication specialist at BCAA, said in a press release. “The goal of the contest is to get teens thinking and talking about the issue of impaired driving in a way that will change their driving behaviours for life and have them making responsible choices now, and for the rest of their adult years.”

BCAA will award $12,000 to the schools for their dry grad celebrations.

First prize went to Hugh McRoberts Secondary in Richmond for its video, It was just a few. The school will receive $6,000 for its celebration.

Second prize went to Whistler Secondary for its video, Heads or Tails, (never gamble with your life). They will receive $4,000.

Third prize went to Abbotsford Christian School for its video, This is your future. The school will receive $2,000.

Last September, BCAA called on Grade 12 students from across B.C. and the Yukon to produce 90second videos encouraging other teens to make responsible choices and never drive under the influence.

Let’s start creating healthier communities HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

W

hat are the key factors that influence your health and the health of others in our community?

Most of us think first about the health-care system and your access to

quality care.

In the 2009 report of the Senate subcommittee on public health, only 25 per cent of the health of the population was attributable to the health-care system. Fifteen per cent was due to individual biology (i.e. genetics), and 10 per cent to environmental factors such as air quality and civic infrastructure.

The remaining 50 per cent was due to a variety of social determinants, including poverty, work conditions, housing, diet

and community factors.

In the winter and spring of 2013, the Canadian Medical Association held town hall meetings in cities across the country and consulted widely online.

The association’s report, Healthcare in Canada: What Makes Us Sick?, was released in July 2013.

Poverty was found to be the most significant determinant of illness. Other significant determinants included access to affordable and safe housing, early childhood develop-

ment and education.

Most of us have a good idea of what we need to do in order to live healthier lives.

Exercise, eat a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, don’t smoke or use recreational drugs, limit alcohol, reduce stress and maintain good relationships.

Yet for most of us, there are barriers to doing all the right things.

Due to poverty, many families struggle to get food on the table. To eat

five or more fruits or vegetables a day is not affordable. Others are unable to find safe and affordable housing. Some neighbourhoods do not have easy access to transit, community centres, parks or safe areas to walk.

The global healthy cities and community movement is working to engage communities, cities and governments to address the social determinants of health and to work together to improve the health of the population.

You now have an opportunity to get involved. My Health My Community is a major public survey currently being conducted by the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health authorities. The online survey is seeking to identify the health supports you need in your neighbourhood. It will identify the barriers to healthy living, including access to services, housing, recreational facilities, affordable food, mobility,

intertime is dotted with large meals, colder drafts and more sniffles than any other season,

that’s why the Fraser Health Authority has released tips to staying healthy during winter.

“Over the holidays, we see spikes in the number of patient visits to our emergency departments and sometimes these visits can be avoided by simply planning ahead,” said Dr. Anne Clarke, program medical director for emergency services, in a media release. “We use a triage

system in the emergency to ensure priority is given to those patients requiring the most urgent care.”

The tips include: ◆ Slow down: The season can be busy and stressful, take it slow. Take everything in moderation. ◆ Look both ways: Shorter daylight hours and rainy weather makes driving more difficult and pedestrians harder to see. ◆ Clean hands: Make sure

to keep those hands fresh by washing them or using alcohol-based lotion, especially before eating a meal. ◆ Stay fit: Get regular exercise and eat nutritious foods.

Doctor tips

As part of the Burnaby family practice initiative, Burnaby NOW columnist Dr. Davidicus Wong will be speaking at a library

event about the patientdoctor relationship.

In an effort to improve health care, Wong will be giving tips on how to make the most out of a family doctor visit, which will include: ◆ how to find the right doctor; ◆ how to prepare for the first visit; ◆ how to communicate with clinic staff; ◆ what you should know

about your own medical history; and ◆ how to work with your family doctor to take charge of your health.

The event is co-sponsored by the Burnaby division of family practice. It is free, but registration is required.

The event is on Monday, Feb. 17 at the Bob Prittie Metrotown library Tips Page 28

Revue pays tribute to Broadway’s golden age because none of the existing ones honoured the composers in the way he wanted them to be honoured.

Though he’s long been a fan of the duo’s work, he said directing the Chemainus Theatre production of Oklahoma! a few years back gave him an entirely new appreciation of their depths.

“Really sitting down with the music and lyrics and seeing how the songs were constructed, … there was so much sophisticated craftsmanship in what they did,” he said, adding his respect for their work “ballooned” after that. “I wanted to create my own tribute to them.”

Out of a Dream includes songs from all 11 shows created by the duo, including the big five hits Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music – along with State Fair, Cinderella, Allegro, Pipe Dream, Me and Juliet, and Flower Drum Song.

Jorgensen has woven together offerings from all 11 plays to create an evening that he says will appeal to fans of the golden era of musical theatre.

“They’ll be taken back to those stories they remember,” he said. “And they’re also going to have some surprises.”

Jorgensen is particularly pleased with the cast he’s assembled for the production.

“We’re lucky in Vancouver. We’re a smaller market, but within our market we’re got really top-notch performers,” he pointed out.

Jorgensen has been able to assemble an “A-list” cast, including Warren Kimmel and Caitriona Murphy, who’ll be familiar from Arts Club and Patrick Street productions.

They’re appearing alongside Kaylee Harwood, best known locally for her per-

Julie MacLellan staff reporter

Since its founding in 2007, Patrick Street Productions has been pushing the boundaries of musical theatre for Vancouver audiences – offering up shows that might otherwise never have made their way to the city.

Now, with its first ever two-play season, the Burnaby-born theatre company is stepping back into the golden age of musical theatre to stage Out of a Dream, a Rodgers and Hammerstein revue.

Out of a Dream runs from Feb. 5 to 16 at the York Theatre on Commercial Drive.

Former Burnaby resident Peter Jorgensen, co-artistic producer of Patrick Street Productions – with his wife, Katey Wright – is directing the production.

That they’ve chosen the work of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II to open the season is, Jorgensen said, a fitting gesture for the company devoted to contemporary musical theatre.

“Contemporary musical theatre really began with them, and the risks they took as writers,” he pointed out.

Patrick Street’s second musical, which follows in March, is Floyd Collins – written by current Broadway phenom Adam Guettel, whose Light in the Piazza was a hit for PSP in 2011. Guettel also happens to be the grandson of Rodgers.

“We just love the balance between the two shows and the lineage between Richard Rodgers and Adam Guettel,” Jorgensen said.

Out of a Dream was created by Jorgensen himself. There were already some Rodgers and Hammerstein revues in existence, but Jorgensen chose to create his own, he said,

Dream time: Caitriona Murphy, Warren Kimmel, Kazumi Evans and Sayer Roberts

star in Out of a Dream, onstage at the York Theatre Feb. 5 to 16. formance as Cosette in the Arts Club’s Les Misérables. She also went on to appear at the Stratford Festival and then on Broadway with Stratford’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and this season she’ll return to Ontario for her second season at the Shaw Festival.

They’re joined by two young performers whom Jorgensen describes as two “huge up-and-comers”: Kazumi Evans and Sayer Roberts.

Evans has been on Jorgensen’s radar for

quite some time. Most recently, he notes, while he was directing Arts Club’s Avenue Q, Evans stepped in partway through the run when another performer had to withdraw.

Roberts most recently dazzled local audiences in last year’s Royal City Musical Theatre production of Oklahoma! – a performance that has earned him an Ovation Award.

Out of a Dream: ‘A-list talent’ in new Rodgers and Hammerstein revue continued from page 30

“People were raving about his performance,” Jorgensen says.

He adds he loves finding young talent like Evans and Roberts.

“It’s exciting when you find the show that you go, ‘That’s the one, that’s the one I want to work with you on.’”

Wrapping the evening up in a perfect package is the fact that its run extends over Valentine’s Day – and Rodgers and Hammerstein were nothing if not romantic.

“It’s one of their strong suits,” Jorgensen said with a smile. “It’ll be a really lovely show to take your honey to.”

Patrick Street has teamed up with Federico’s Supper Club to offer dinner and show packages, with a special offering for Valentine’s evening.

Jorgensen is hoping the show will draw an audience that might not have ventured out to some of Patrick Street’s earlier, lesser-

known productions. Once they’re in, he says, he hopes those same audience members will think about returning for a future performance – such as, for instance, Floyd Collins, which is running from March 11 to 30. ◆ Out Of A Dream runs Feb. 5

to 16 at the York Theatre, 639 Commercial Dr. in Vancouver.

It’s on Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Plant the seeds of a glorious edible garden GREEN SCENE

V

Anne Marrison

egetable seed listings are now a glorious circus of heirlooms, new colours, worldwide sources and increased resistance to pests. Plant breeders are also tackling solutions to climate problems In small garden spaces, ornamental vegetables are a wonderful bonus (at least until you harvest them).

Peppermint chard is ahead of this game since you can cut-and-come again till frost. Its stems are red at the base merging up into white.

For container gardeners, this type of food crop is very practical. Cos (a.k.a romaine) lettuces such as the red-tinged Paris Island can also keep on producing for many weeks if you harvest the oldest, outside leaves first. I have also seen red cabbage used this way in containers.

Coloured carrots are always offered separately, but some catalogues list a “rainbow blend” of carrots, which gives a long harvest since different kinds mature at various times. Beet collections in mixed colours also offer the same extended harvest.

There’s also the new cauliflower Graffiti, which is said to be deep purple and show an improved tolerance for heat. Different colours apparently show unique qualities. Limegreen cauliflowers are said to accept low-nitrogen soil while orange heads demonstrate high levels of beta-carotene.

Purple-tinged leeks are popular now, and not entirely for their beauty.

They’re also exceptionally cold hardy and are sold under many names including the French heirloom Blue Solaise and Darcy’s Purple Leek.

For brilliantly coloured salads, radishes have a lot to offer. Starburst (a “watermelon” type) has red flesh inside white skin. The heirloom Black Spanish Round has white flesh and black skin, while White Icicle grows an allwhite root up to 15 centimetres long.

The Rat-Tail heirloom radish dating at least from 1860 is still occasionally listed. The roots aren’t edible. But the seed pods give a lengthy harvest and are crunchy, nicely peppery and best when they reach about 25 cm long.

Edible pod peas are very practical wherever you grow them because if you miss the early pod harvest you can still use them as shelled peas.

Some heirloom pod peas are available with interesting pod colours and sometimes two-tone

flowers. These names include Blue Pod Desiree Pea, Dwarf Grey Sugar, with purple flowers on an approximately 90 cm plant, and Golden Sweet Edible Pod, with yellow pods and two-tone purple flowers.

Winter hardiness can be a major issue with kale in some areas, especially if it’s combined with intolerance of wet soil. Winterbor kale is one of the favourites for hardiness and productivity.

But the English heirloom Dwarf Green Curled (a.k.a. Dwarf Curlies) promises more. This one is said to tolerate cold, windswept unsheltered gardens with wet, poor soil. It’s described as growing up to 45 cm with tender, delicate leaves.

Some edible and pretty vegetables may be too much of a good thing.

Golden-leaved purslane is pretty and delicious but almost as invasive as the green form.

Another dubious blessing is the heirloom Rampion (Campanula rapunculus) – once popular for crisp, white, edible roots and long spires of purple bells.

This one leaves desperate gardeners in its wake as it steadily takes over gardens, roadsides and cracks in asphalt parking lots.

Anne Marrison welcomes gardening questions sent to amarrison@shaw.ca. Please include your city or region.

Cabo By Night

by Sarah Bancroft

Last week, we explored the Baja by day - this week, it’s all about what happens after dark.

feast

Make sure to plan dinner at the cliff-side seafood restaurant El Farallon, serving local specialties like grouper, sea bass and tuna ordered by weight and cooked over an open grill. Consider a quote from Hemingway at the bar: “A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.”

Sounds like a travel mantra to us. At Capella Hotel, www.capellahotels.com

drink

Rosemary margaritas in the open-air bar while whale watching over the Sea of Cortez. It doesn’t get much better than that. But if you move on to dinner at Cocina Del Mar (try to get the lower tables cantilevered over the sea) you will see it can. The seafood tortilla soup, with little neck clams and white Baja prawns is outstanding. At Esparanza Resort, www.esperanzaresort.com

dine

Right in the heart of downtown Cabo, the open-air, lantern-filled restaurant at the boutique Bahia Hotel gets so busy at dinner it overtakes the lobby. And there is good reason: the food, music and ambiance are all outstanding. Owned by a group of high-profile New York bankers, the hotel is undergoing a room-byroom renovation, but we kind of loved the charm of the original rooms with their kitchenettes and plaster scallop shell over the bed, all for under $150/night. www.bahiacabo.mx/en.htm Read the rest of our Cabo By Night itinerary at www.vitamindaily.com

Closet Zen

Mother of Invention

You won’t be surprised to hear of another new Canadian yoga wear brand, but you might be surprised to find one that makes clothing that can transition to the coffee shop, or even lunch, after your workout.

Zen Nomad is a Toronto-based yogawear collection that features tops, dresses, and leggings that work just as well with jeans or jewelry as they do on a yoga mat. The longsleeve asymmetrical practice top ($92) is a wardrobe staple that works under sweaters as well as under the dimmed lights of hatha yoga practice. The Delphine dress ($96) can be paired with leggings during backbends and with boots and tights for a post-workout lunch.

And if your New Year’s resolution has been downgraded into a daily practice of savasana, then this whole collection can adapt to that. Relaxation pose was always the one we were best at, anyway.

Zen Nomad yoga wear available online at Thieves boutique, www.thievesboutique.com

Ontario’s Julie Thompson has beaten us to the punch with the creation of Lil’ Tights ($14.99), thigh-high socks with padded knees. Perfect for crawlers, speedy diaper changes, potty training and layering under clothes during cold snaps, they fit snug and won’t sag during mad sprints to the monkey bars.

Lil’ Tights made their Hollywood debut at the Golden Globes gift lounge so don’t be surprised if you see baby Wilde-Sudeikis sporting a pair at the Studio City Farmers Market.

Massage Now, Flaunt Later

Americans might claim it as their bird, but the world’s largest population of bald eagles is in Brackendale, BC during the winter.

Even rail-thin supermodels can be dimple-prone— we’ve seen it with our own eyes!

While there isn’t a magical cure for the bumps, the texture can be improved with groundbreaking treatments like LPG Endermologie, or Lipomassage (sounds techy, but it’s really a high-performance deep tissue massager). It was invented in France in order to boost collagen production and circulation in burn victims. Of course, the clever French turned it into a beauty gadget.

Here’s how it works: You strip down, then slip on a full-body stocking (yes, a little awkward!), and the technician massages away at your “problem” areas, whether it’s thighs, arms, or belly. We visited Vancouver’s esteemed LPG specialist Joy Stewart at the quaint Touch of Joy spa. With intense massaging action over six sessions, the circulation was enhanced, lipolysis reactivated, and overall texture significantly smoother.

C’est si bon! It’s never too early to start bikini shopping. $855/6 sessions, $1500/12 sessions, A Touch of Joy, #33–638 W. Sixth Ave., Vancouver, 604-605-4046, www.touchofjoy.ca

The best way to see these majestic birds is on the Eagle Viewing Boat Trip from Squamish-based Sunwolf. You start with coffee and pastries while they suit you up in the necessary gear (hopefully the rain suit will only be for show, not out of necessity). Then you’ll float down the Cheakumus and Squamish rivers and watch as bald eagles feast on the spawning salmon. End the trip with a steaming bowl of chili next to the fire at their lodge.

The week’s best at home and abroad Tom Berridge sports editor

Simon Fraser University women’s basketball alumna Nayo RaincockEkunwe was named the EuroBasket player of the week in round 13 of the Swiss season.

The 6-2 forward was a major part of her team, Esperance Sportive Pully, holding on to fifth place in the Swiss national women’s basketball league, as she led her team in their last game with 29 points, nine rebounds and three assists.

Raincock-Ekunwe is one of Pully’s top players in her rookie season with the team, averaging 19.5 points and 12.8 rebounds per game.

With the Clan, she was a 2013 NCAA Div II AllAmerican, and the national leader in field-goal percentage.

Raincock-Ekunwe also holds over eight Great Northwest Athletic Conference records, including most career double-doubles with 63.

The EuroBasket player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, as well as game result and importance of the game among other factors.

She also had her jersey hung in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame’s Ring of Honour, that celebrates the top collegiate and high school players each season.

Raincock-Ekunwe’s player of the week nod comes in the same week that current Clan player Erin Chambers was named the Great Northwest con-

ferernce player of the week.

The Clan junior earned the honour following her combined 64-point weekend in back-to-back wins over the Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks and the Alaska Anchorage Seawolves.

Over the weekend, the guard-forward shot .629 (22-35) from the floor and .412 (7-17) from beyond

the arc, as well as going 13-14 from the free throw line.

“I never really pay attention to the points when I play,” said Chambers in a press release. “I just play what comes at me and take what I can. If we are struggling I might look to focus on shooting, but mainly I just read the court.”

Against the Nanooks,

Chambers had 30 points and five rebounds, helping SFU erase a 16-point deficit in the Clan’s 75-73 victory. She followed that up on Saturday with 34 points, five rebounds and three assists as SFU beat the Seawolves, 78-74.

Chambers and the now 6-3 Clan host two big games this weekend as Seattle Pacific and

Montana State-Billings come to the West Gym as the top four teams in the conference battle it out.

AlongwithSFU’sborder rival Western Washington, SPU and MSUB also boast 6-3 GNAC records.

Clan hockey fundraising for Type 1 diabetes Andrew Parent posted his seventh and eighth wins of the year to pace the Simon Fraser University hockey club to weekend wins over Thompson Rivers University.

The fourth-year Clan goalie allowed just two total goals in back-to-back victories, including a 1-0 shutout over the third-place Kamloops hockey club.

Parent registered a 4-2 win over Thompson Rivers on Friday at the Kamloops Memorial Arena, before garnering his second shutout of the season and the game’s second star in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over the Wolf Pack. The wins clinched a playoff spot for the SFU club.

Clan newcomer Scott Brkich

scored the game-winning goal on a second-period power play from Aaron Enns and Jono Ceci.

In the opening game, Trevor Milner and Ceci, with the eventual game-winner, both scored in the third period to break a 2-2 tie.

SFU held a 2-1 first-period lead on single goals from Colton Schock and Graham Smerek.

Thompson Rivers goalie Chris Solecki was named a first star in both games, stopping a total of 81 of 86 shots fired his way.

The wins boosted SFU’s leagueleading record to 14-3-0-0, one point better than second-place and defending B.C. Intercollegiate league champion Selkirk College.

This weekend, SFU plays a

home-and-home series against fourth-place club Trinity Western University.

The two teams play at the Langley Events Centre on Friday, before moving to the Bill Copeland Sports Centre for a rematch Saturday at 7 p.m.

The game in Burnaby will also serve as a fundraiser in support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that strikes individuals of any age. It occurs when the body’s own immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, which is an essential hormone needed by the body to obtain energy from

food.

The onset of Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle.

More than 300,000 Canadians live with the disease.

Saturday’s game will feature a silent auction for special gameworn jerseys worn by SFU and autographed following the game.

There will also be other auction items, including a stay at the downtown Sutton Place Hotel, and an autographed Martin Jones Los Angeles Kings jersey. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the foundation.

The junior A Burnaby Lakers drafted three Team B.C. players in last Sunday’s midget lacrosse draft.

The Lakers, which last month dealt their first overall pick to the Delta Islanders in exchange for four players, picked up an additional six players in the second and third rounds of the midget draft held in Port Coquitlam on Sunday.

With their second-round selections Burnaby took offensively skilled Mason Pomeroy from Semiahmoo ninth overall.

The junior Lakers then took provincial teammembers Davis Goodman from Semiahmoo, Chase PretiPearsall from Vancouver and goalie Thomas Hankins from Maple Ridge with their next three of four picks.

Burnaby also picked up Damon Prince from North Vancouver with its final pick of the second round and Parker Colley from Pitt Meadows with its 22nd pick in the third round.

“We upped our skill level and our size,” said incoming Burnaby junior general manager Brad Hara.

Hara also convinced former Burnaby Cablevision Minto Cup champion and New Westminster junior A head coach Brad Parker to take over the coaching duties behind the Burnaby bench.

“We’re going to turn this thing around,” said Hara.

“Everybody (I’ve talked to) wants to make Burnaby better.”

Hara also put another piece in place towards righting the Lakers’ ship, installing Julian Kolb, who coached the Toronto Beaches to a provincial title in the Ontario junior B league last season, as the new head coach of the intermediate A team in Burnaby.

In the Dec. 12 trade that gave Delta the No. 1 pick in the midget draft, Burnaby received in return 20-yearold Islanders goalie David Mather and runner Randy Draft Page 40
