Holiday magic Round and round:
Brianna Lee spins a ribbon toy from Japan while brother Tristan watches at the holiday craft sale held on the weekend at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre. The 13th annual Nikkei Place craft and bake sale included items such as traditional textiles, contemporary items, home baking and snacks. Many local vendors were on hand at the sale, which added a Japanese flair to a weekend full of Christmas craft fairs in Burnaby. Jason Lang/burnaby now

Pet store, activists go head to head Stefania Seccia staff reporter
Kelley Hill sat silently behind the two presentations made to council at its Monday night meeting, regarding the retail sales of puppies, kittens and rabbits. She held up a poster of her dead dog, including pictures of it as a puppy, and more graphic photos of its health problems and stitches after various surgeries before the dog died last summer. Hill, a supporter of Paws for Hope
Animal Foundation, said her purebred dog was purchased from Pet Habitat. Despite living to the age of nine, her dog Shelby had insurmountable health issues such as hip dysplasia, a brain tumour and bladder infections. She purchased the dog for $1,388, but her health-care costs ended up reaching $32,381. She was there to make council aware of the consequences of purchasing from a pet store, she told the NOW. At the meeting, animal advocates were in one corner and Burnaby pet store owners were in the other – both taking direct
shots at each other during their separate presentations to council. The second part of a proposed animal control bylaw regarding the sales of puppies, kittens and rabbits in the city has been a hot topic of discussion as council prepares to make a decision on the retail sales of pets. The city has been working on updating its animal control bylaw for the last two years, and in a recent staff report, it proposed to ban the retail sale of turtles but continue to allow the sale of kittens, puppies and sterilized rabbits.
Monday night’s first presentation to council on this issue was made by Tom Peters, the owner of Pet Habitat’s Metrotown location. He said he sells about 300 to 400 kittens a year, and about 25 puppies in a month, which makes up 60 per cent of his store’s income. He said his store would no longer be able to operate if the city decided to ban the retail sales of pets. “Anything proposed in terms of regulations, if it’s the betterment for an animal, I would like to comply,” he said.

One man was taken to hospital after he was reportedly stabbed with a sword multiple times in the back on Sunday night. At 11 p.m. on Nov. 17, paramedics alerted Burnaby Mounties that a man had been stabbed and was being taken to Royal Columbian Hospital. Upon preliminary investigation, officers determined the man had been walking with friends through the schoolyard at Cameron elementary when another group appeared out of the bushes. “Three people all of the sud-
Magical Mary Poppins Page 16
den appeared out of nowhere – one brandishing a sword, another with pepper spray,” said Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis. The victim, along with three friends, allegedly got into a fight with the approaching group and that’s when police believe one of the suspects used the sword to stab the victim twice in the back. “They ran off, the suspects, (and) one of them allegedly let loose some pepper spray, as well,” Buis said. The injuries sustained by the victim were non-life-threatening. He was in surgery Monday morning and is expected to make a full recovery, according to Buis.
Burnaby RCMP do not believe this was a random attack and there is evidence to suggest the two groups knew each other, Buis said. “There was an indication that the suspects knew the victim, and I can’t relate anymore than that,” he added. The victim, whose name hasn’t been released, is 20 years old. Police haven’t determined the ages of the suspects but believe they are all in their late teens or early 20s, Buis said. Burnaby RCMP are waiting to speak with the victim and his friends to gather more information about what took place
Sunday night. In the meantime, police have descriptions of the suspects, but they are very preliminary, Buis said. “Suspect 1 is described as a male carrying a sword, wearing a white sweater, black track pants and orange sneakers. Suspect 2 was wearing a black jacket, dark tuque, and possibly carrying pepper spray, and suspect 3 was wearing all dark clothing,” he said. All suspects are described as about 5-9 in height. At this time, police are unsure whether the suspects, victim or his friends are Burnaby residents. cdobie@burnabynow.com

tistry in Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby, in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling in October. He avoided all court dates and was in hiding until Nov. 16, when he turned himself in. Wu was sentenced to three months jail time for being in contempt of court for his illegal dental practice.
He appeared in Toronto court on Nov. 18 for a bail hearing, according to a Toronto Police media release. The same day, the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C., which has been pursuing Wu all this time, obtained an order to bring the illegal dentist back to this province.

Pets: Burnaby council hears from pet store owner, animal advocacy group Peters said his store has high standards when it comes to acquiring its animals. He said if the issue is about puppy mills – which is a negative term used for places that breed puppies en masse with little regard for animal well-being – then puppy mills should be addressed directly. “I want the province to get involved with it because you want to look at the true source,” he told the NOW. “I’m just a retailer. The source is where the problem is; if there’s a problem, teach them, make them better. Don’t just discourage them completely.” Lisa Hutcheon, from the Small Animal Rescue Society of B.C., was the second presentation made to council on Monday night. She took direct aim at Metrotown’s Pet Habitat store when it comes to small animals being sold. “Animals are often referred to as stock and are not regarded as the actual living beings that they are,” she said, saying small pets sell for $5 to $10. “They’re using small animals to lure people in to make sales. … Small animals are used, really, by pet stores to sell more expensive items.” A four-hour seminar and distance-education course is the only training for pet store workers, and Hutcheon said it’s not enough. If the city continues to allow small animal sales,
Dentist: Contempt continued from page 3
Marburg added that he anticipates B.C. sheriffs will soon be on their way to Ontario to collect Wu, who will then “appear in front of the judge to answer for his contempt and to serve his sentence.” Last August, Wu was found in breach of a 2003 court order prohibiting him from practising dentistry. A warrant was issued for his arrest and a permanent injunction was filed against him. When a former patient lodged a complaint with the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. against Wu, it sparked the initial investigation in late May. Wu was operating an illegal dentistry practice out of his Burnaby home. The dental college covered costs for the private investigation and court proceedings against Wu, which has cost more than $140,000. See more on this story at www.burnabynow.com.
then the infrastructure should be in place when those small animals are abandoned, Hutcheon stressed to council. “Many cities won’t take in small animals, or they
have a cap on it,” she said, noting Burnaby’s B.C. SPCA shelters will only take in two small animals at a time. “If the city wants to continue to allow the sale of small animals, the
city must have a place for them to go when they’re no longer wanted. You can’t rely on a group of volunteers to continually clean up the small animals. If it can’t be done, then the sale

Global Power Solutions Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award. “It’s quite the three business days here, to say the least,” Alpha president and CEO Mark Schnarr said in an interview Tuesday. It’s not a bad hat trick for the company that started out in a Burnaby basement in the mid-’70s. Fred Kaiser, Alpha’s chair and founder, developed a backup power system in his basement after a power outage prevented Delta Cable customers from seeing the end

lunch, but surely there should be some guidelines about how much work outside of the Senate is advisable. After all, senators likely wouldn’t be asked to sit on prestigious boards if they didn’t have the title of senator. It adds a certain cachet. (Well, at least it did before the last scandal.) One of the 46 out of 99 senators who have other work is Larry Campbell, the former mayor of Vancouver. Campbell is the top-earning Liberal, and he sits on the boards of the Great Canadian Gaming
Corporation and Avidus Management Group. According to The Globe and Mail, Campbell has made $396,516 in cash and up to $474,848 in stock options since 2008. He abstained from voting on one gambling bill and says he checks with the ethics officer as required. We don’t question Campbell’s integrity. But we doubt that taxpayers think the Senate is serving Canada’s best interests when nearly half of its appointees are collecting cash or cash in lieu from Canadian corporations in their off hours.
Munro’s passing marks changes IN MY OPINION
T
Keith Baldrey
he passing last week of a former B.C. labour leader was a reminder of how much both the labour movement and the so-called “political left” have changed in this province. Jack Munro was a colourful and powerful leader of the most powerful union in this province. He led the IWA (the primary forestry workers’ union) for decades and was one of the most influential labour or political figures in the entire province. Governments of all stripes (NDP and Social Credit) were wary of taking him on. A prolonged strike in the forest industry could cripple the provincial economy, and Munro was mindful of the power he wielded. His influence was wide within the B.C. Federation of Labour, and he was often seen as the face of unionized labour, competing over time with other notables such as Len Guy, Art Gruntman, Jim Kinnaird, Art Kube and Ken Georgetti, to name just a few. In those days (the 1970s to the mid-1990s) organized labour wielded a major sword. At first, that sword was held by private
sector unions, but over time public sector unions wrenched it away to become the main power bloc in the labour movement. That is one of the crucial differences that have evolved in the House of Labour. The days of private sector union domination are over, and therefore so are the days of a private sector union leader like Munro having huge influence, either on labour or government. For years, private sector strikes, some of them quite lengthy, were regular events in all kinds of industries. Now, public sector strikes (or the threat of them) are the main characteristic of any labour strife in this province. Another change from Munro’s heyday is the collapse of the forest industry. The IWA is gone, and so are many mills that provided many communities with thriving local economies. The forest industry, and its unionized workforce, no longer has the political clout it had when Munro was one of industry’s main players. And then there is the political left in B.C. For years, during Munro’s time, the left was dominated by private sector union leaders, but gradually, over time, their influence was matched and then exceeded by social activists, environmental activists and public sector union leaders.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tree bylaw changes not needed Dear Editor:
Re: Local tree advocate worries slow process leading to clearcutting, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 8. Give me strength. With regard to the proposed tree bylaw, why has our mayor and council capitulated to the demands of a handful of busy bodies? There is no wholesale deforestation taking place in Burnaby. Any accelerated tree removal is the result of people’s rejection of the bylaw. It is incredible to believe that our mayor would base such an overbearing and unnecessary bylaw on a survey completed by only 158 people (.088 per cent of the population.) Furthermore, the survey itself was unregulated, badly flawed and biased in

its questions. Anyone could have completed those surveys, and multiple questionnaires could have been entered by anyone. The first question that should have been asked is: Are you satisfied with the current tree bylaw? The second question should have been: Are you willing to pay $70 to $500 for a tree permit? All in all, this bylaw is not “reasonable,” and $2,000 to $10,000 fines fit the very definition of draconian. As far as paying for the annual cost of maintaining two full-time tree police, that money will come out of the pockets of Burnaby residents. As lone dissenting councillor Sav Dhaliwal noted, people will be less likely to plant trees in the future, the very

opposite of tree protection. I also have a problem with the fact that the general public was not invited to speak at the meeting where this unwarranted and intrusive bylaw was proposed. I like trees as much as anyone, but I’ll be damned if I want the way I enjoy my heavily taxed property dictated by a bunch of pseudo environmentalists. What is worse, the proposed bylaw doesn’t just deal with “iconic” trees but all trees, whether useful and wanted or nuisance and unwanted. So, to quote Mayor Derek Corrigan, “Have courage, stand up for your community.” I am requesting that someone, anyone on council put forward a motion to reconsider the proposed tree bylaw until a properly regulated and unbiased survey of Burnaby residents is done.

Fire inappropriate teachers Dear Editor:
Re: Teacher disciplined for using inappropriate force, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 15. I read about the teacher who was using inappropriate discipline. I think that she should have been fired immediately for mistreating her students. I do remember the days when I was in elementary school. I remember the Grade
3 teacher that I had spanked me on the behind with a wooden pad. I did cry, though I do think it was uncalled for. Another time in Grade 4, where the teacher knocked down my text book, which I had up and was reading. She was the kind of teacher who was not liked by her students. I did see her when I was in my senior years at secondary and wanted to confront her about what she had done to me. In Grade 7, the teacher was teaching for one semester. I remember being spanked by the teacher for being late. It was embarrassing in front of some of the students who were in class at the time. It was then that I wished I had the courage to stand up and report to the school principal to what was going on. I don’t think in the ’70s that teachers were allowed to strike a child and get away with it. I do know that if a teacher does strike a student in class, it can be reported and possibly the teacher would be terminated from teaching. I also remember reading in the ’70s about a teacher in elementary school who had fingered a student. The young girl told her parents about what happened. The teacher was fired from teaching and was asked to leave town. I wanted to share my experience as to what happened to me in elementary school and to let students know that they can report incidents, which may lead to termination.

party’s relationship with so-called blue collar workers (the ones championed for so long by the likes of Munro). The NDP, the party of the left, is now almost shut out of the IWA’s old turf, as mills have closed and workers have disappeared. Its support is more concentrated in urban centres, and away from many of those blue-collar workers in resource industries. One has to wonder what Jack Munro would make of this ongoing shift in the party and movement he was once so active in. I can’t see him liking where things seem to be headed.

in power, but the environmental movement caused the NDP administration to back down on its forest policies, constituting a landmark win for the greens in the party. During Gordon Campbell’s term in power, most of his opposition came from public sector unions, many of whose contracts he was trying to tear up or change. The private sector remained relatively quiet, and the environmental movement seemed to be biding its time. And, of course, there was the NDP’s sudden reversal on the Kinder Morgan pipeline project in the last election campaign. It was done to appease the environmental movement, but the move has revealed a breach in the

Several key episodes in the last 20 years or so show this shift. During the 1983 Solidarity crisis (brought on by the Social Credit government’s punishing restraint budget of that year), it was Munro who essentially ended an escalating protest that was headed to a provincewide general strike. Munro had no interest in taking private sector union workers off their jobs to appease social activists itching to topple an elected government, and he made that very clear. As a result, he was vilified by many of those activists, who viewed his actions as a form of betrayal. A decade or so later, a left-wing government was

City moves ahead with DENTURE WEARERS! secondary suite program COME IN AND RECEIVE A
Owners who don’t live on site will need a rental business licence Stefania Seccia staff reporter
The city is moving forward with its secondary suites program, and a new business licence is being created as a result. Burnaby is one of the last in Metro Vancouver to move ahead with legalizing secondary suites, and in the meantime city staff is preparing a home rental business licence to coincide with the program’s rollout. The licence will treat secondary suites where the owner does not live on site as a business. “In order to implement
the adopted approach, it is necessary to create a new bylaw that requires a nonresident owner(s) of dwellings with secondary suites to obtain a home rental business licence,” Lou Pelletier, director of planning and building, states in a report to council. The bylaw being prepared by staff is expected to include several provisions, such as recommended fees for licensing and renewal. Every homeowner with a secondary suite who does not live on site will have to get a home rental business licence and renew it annually. The licence will require the property owner to hire a property manager, who will manage the tenants and address any complaints, according to the report. The new licence will
Utility rates rising
The city’s waterworks and sewer rates are on the increase to keep up with rising operation costs and old infrastructure. Council approved a 5.5 per cent increase for Burnaby’s 2014 sanitary sewer and waterworks utility rates at its Nov. 18 meeting. “The budget reflects a general utility rate increase of 5.5 per cent to ensure that the sanitary sewer utility continues to be self-supporting,” said Denise Jorgenson, director of finance, in her report to council. “The expenditure budget increases are necessary to cover sewer maintenance requirements, higher costs of aging infrastructure replacement, and the cost of sewage and storm water treatment services provided by Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District.” Metro Vancouver treats about one billion litres of wastewater per day at five treatment plants. Metro Van’s 2014 projected cost was set to increase by 3.9 per cent, to more than $18 million. For a single-family dwelling, the sewer bill will increase by $26.73 to $512.75 (if payment is made by the due date). For waterworks, a single-family home bill will increase by $28.40 to $544.87 if payment is made before the due date. For more on utility rates, visit www.burnaby.ca. – Stefania Seccia

urnaby wants to retain its heritage and history, and it intends to do so book by book. Recently, city council approved $50,000 from its gaming funds to go toward upgrading Burnaby’s heritage website and a book scanning pilot project. The project came from a partnership between the planning and archives departments, the Burnaby Village Museum and the community heritage commission. With upgrades planned for the ON MY BEAT heritage website, it is Stefania Seccia expected to provide space to test out a book-scanning pilot project involving digitizing historical books, according to Lisa Codd, Burnaby Village Museum curator. “I think it is taking a resource we have and giving more access to it,” Codd told the Burnaby NOW. “And as Burnaby’s museum, providing access to historical information about Burnaby is key to what we do.” The project was the brainchild of working groups involved in preserving the city’s history through other projects, and digitizing certain books was the next logical step. “We thought it would be nice to take some of the key books about Burnaby and add another layer of access, which would be to actually make digital copies of them and make them available online,” Codd said. Nine books have been chosen for the pilot project: History of Burnaby, by George Green (1952); Bygones of Burnaby, by Pixie McGeachie (1975); Pioneer Tales, by Pixie McGeachie (1987); Follow that Fire, by Douglas Penn (1997); Land of Promise – Robert Burnaby Letters, by Pixie McGeachie and Anne Burnaby McLeod (2002); Deer Lake Park Heritage Resource Inventory (1998) and Burnaby Centennial Anthology (1994), by the City of Burnaby; In the Shadow by the Sea – History of Barnet, by Harry Pride (2004); and Life with the Moore Family of Hart House, by Harry Pride (2002). The books were chosen because of their particular importance to Burnaby. But the city also owns the copyrights to eight of the books, while the last book’s copyrights have expired. “The nine we chose are the ones

Page by page: Lisa Codd, Burnaby Village Museum curator, is part of a combined effort to make historical Burnaby books
more accessible to the public. Nine books about the city will be digitized and fully searchable online for interested researchers. Codd said if enough interest is shown, it could lead to more significant books being digitized in the future.
that have high research value related to Burnaby,” Codd said. “They’re all books about Burnaby. While technology certainly exists to digitize books, obviously, we can’t legally go willy nilly scanning books and putting them online.” To avoid destruction of the historical texts, Codd said they will be scanned through a special process – this way every word will be searchable online. “In some cases they’re books that are out of publication, and we don’t want to destroy the actual copy of the book,” she added. “The technology we’ll use for scanning involves doing a high-resolution scan of the page, and then that is convert-
ed into a PDF, and it’s also run through optical character recognition.” That means each word will be searchable. The scanning will be done by a third party with the means to scan the pages in this advanced way. The third party will not be chosen until the new year when the project is expected to move forward. If the project proves popular, Codd said books could be added to the list in the future. “Anyone who has done research can appreciate how convenient this will be,” she noted. Arilea Sill, city archivist, agreed with Codd in that the books will be far more
accessible. “Some of the early (books) didn’t have indexes or a comprehensive table of contents,” she told the NOW. “This (project) makes information far more accessible. I’m really excited about it.” According to Sill, the project is all about expanding the access to historical information. “I think it is (important) to make information more accessible,” she added. “Some of this material is no longer in print, or not that many copies are left available. This enables researchers and public citizens to have direct access into history.”

pera lovers, don’t miss the next Opera for a Sunday afternoon concert at the
Shadbolt. Burnaby Lyric Opera is continuing with its Sunday afternoon concert series on Nov. 24 at 3 p.m. The concert, which will be the group’s Christmas fundraiser, will feature highlights from Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hansel and Gretel. “This opera is not only a musical masterpiece but a perennial favourite
with children and adults alike,” noted Burnaby Lyric Opera’s Linda-Marie James in an email. Once again, the group is featuring a cast of young opera singers from around the Lower Mainland – including Burnaby’s own Mark Pepe, who sings the Witch. He’s joined by Robin Eder-Warren, Courtney Bridge, Lisa-
Dawn Markle, Andrey Andreychik and Sinéad Plunkett-Bazi. Musical director is Richard Coombes. Tickets are $15, available through the Shadbolt box office at 604-205-3000 or online at tickets.shad boltcentre.com. The concert will be in Studio 103 at the Shadbolt, 6450 Deer Lake Ave.
Social justice tunes up
They’re billing it as “music to inspire change,” and it’s up next at the In the House concert series in Burnaby. Notes of Justice is an evening that explores how different genres of music, including reggae, hip hop and folk, address issues of
social justice. The evening includes singer-songwriter Kate Reid (www.katereid. net), whose Queer Across Canada collection explores contemporary realities such as same-sex parents, surrogate moms, blended families and out-of-thecloset fathers. She’ll be joined by Concert Page 13

Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2007 Honda Fit. A couple of years ago, I got a recall notice that said there was a defect in a part in the door and that the Fit might catch fire because of it. A fix was in the works, but Honda suggested that Fit owners not park their vehicles inside the garage until after the part was replaced. Interestingly, the fires were caused by water getting into the door when

it rains – outdoors – where Honda wanted us to park our Fits. Ignoring the fact that the fires are caused by rain, I parked my Fit outside until I got the warranty work done to fix the problem. Last week, I got another letter from Honda stating (ahem) that the first fix didn’t work quite as planned and that a new fix will be rolled out soon. In the meantime, they suggested that 2007 Fit owners not park their vehicles in the garage, since they might catch fire. They said to park them outside, where, presumably, the rain can get in and cause them to … catch fire. My question is, even after this second fix for the same issue, should I ever park this vehicle inside my garage again, ever? What if the second fix doesn’t work

either? Just sign me … – Nervous TOM: Yeah, that is a conundrum, isn’t it? Honda did, in fact, recall some 140,000 2007 and 2008 Fits because water could get inside the door when the window is open, work its way down and corrode the master window switch. RAY: Window motors require a lot of electricity in order to lift that heavy piece of glass … and do it in less time than, say, it takes my brother to get to work in the morning. And since that master switch controls all of the car’s window motors, there’s a ton of juice coming into it. So if the switch corrodes and shorts out, it could potentially lead to an unplanned

and unwanted marshmallow roast. TOM: When Honda first recalled the cars for this problem, they fixed it by putting some plastic material around the master switch, which they then sealed up with tape. What they discovered later was that the tape wasn’t doing the job and could still let water in, leading to corrosion and the above-mentioned marshmallows. RAY: So now they’ve decided to just replace the switch itself with an upgraded and redesigned switch – presumably the one they started using after 2008, about which we know of no complaints. TOM: Of course, they didn’t have 140,000 of these

new switches on the shelf, so what they want to do is inspect your Fit and look for signs of corrosion on your switch. If they see any, they’ll replace the switch right away. But if there’s no sign of corrosion, they’ll ask you to wait until they can make more switches, which probably will be a matter of months. RAY: So until you get the new switch, your Fit is still technically vulnerable to this corrosion and fire syndrome. So if they ask you to wait, I would continue parking the car outside. TOM: Yeah, I definitely would not park it in your garage, Nervous, unless three other conditions exist: (1) The garage is detached from your house,

What are the chances of car catching fire? (2) you have replacement cost insurance coverage on it, and (3) you’ve been wanting to redo the garage anyway. RAY: Actually, Honda says that rain or other liquids can get inside the door only when the window is open. So it shouldn’t get worse if it’s parked outside with the windows rolled up. TOM: But if the switch has begun to corrode, obviously you don’t want to risk parking it in a structure that’s attached to where people sleep. RAY: And I wouldn’t leave any priceless Renaissance paintings in the car until you get it fixed, either. Good luck, Nervous. Email Click and Clack by visiting www.cartalk.com.

or those of you following the anti-shark fin lobby, you may be interested to hear that Burnaby’s very own Claudia Li is expanding her horizons. Li founded Shark Truth, a non-profit group that aims to stop the slaughter of sharks for their fins. Now she’s starting a new group: the hua foundation, which is launching an intercultural food literacy program with a seasonal Asian produce guide, cooking workshops that span generations, and information on healthy sustainable and culturally appropriate food sources. The idea behind the foundation is to challenge the stereotype that Chinese culture and environmental protection are mutually exclusive. For more information on the new
Kudos are in order for the Burnaby Neighbourhood House. The local neighbourhood house (which recently dropped “south” from its name) was nominated as a finalist for a 2013 Safe Harbour Champions Award in the community organizer category. Safe Harbour is an interesting program we’ve featured in the past. It’s a bit like Block Watch for businesses but with an anti-racist twist. Businesses sign up and learn how to be “safe harbours” from discrimination, and they display a Safe Harbour decal in their door or window. The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is a Safe Harbour member and community organizer, which means they provide diversity training for businesses or agencies that sign up for the program. But it’s the neighbourhood house’s work beyond Safe Harbour that inspired the nomina-
tion. For instance, there’s the long-standing partnership with the Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table, a recent mural project at the Marlborough daycare, the regular Sharing Cultures dinners, and ongoing training for staff and volunteers on how to create a space that’s welcoming and inclusive. The winners will be announced on Nov. 19 after NOW deadlines.

Panthers take high road to first B.C.s Moscrop girls qualify with five-set win over North Shore champion Tom Berridge sports editor
The timing was everything for the Moscrop Panthers girls’ volleyball team. The first-year senior West Burnaby school team defeated North Shore champion West Vancouver in a marathon five-set victory at Moscrop to qualify for its first-ever B.C. quad A provincial girls’ volleyball championships. Moscrop came from behind twice in the two hour and 15minute match to force a tiebreak before pulling out a 15-11 win in the fifth set over a much taller West Van side in the semifinals of the Lower Mainland girls’ championship on Friday. The win gave the Panthers one of three Mainland berths into the provincials. A fourth and fifth berth will be decided on wild cards later in the North Shore this week. “We wanted to play our best and put it out on the floor. It’s a great feeling,” said Moscrop captain Lauren Hum. “(North Shore) is always great competition and we want to play the best. It’s exciting.” Moscrop dropped a close, opening first set 28-26, but came back to win the second set 25-20 on the back of a seven-point service run by Elianna Guo midway in the match. The two teams traded the next two games, with the Panthers forcing a fifth and final set with a 25-15 win in the fourth. In the tiebreak, West Van went on a late rally to lead 8-7 at the changeover, but Ernestine Tiamzon got Moscrop back on track with a timely kill.

Tiamzon finished off the comeback with a kill and a final service winner to win 3-2 and advance to the Mainland final against Argyle. “We’re shorter, so we have to make up for it with other parts of our game, like digging and not letting the ball hit the ground,” said Hum. “In the end, it’s just a game, but it was really exciting, like we could win this, this could

Mountain Lions place fourth at high school swim Tom Berridge sports editor
The Burnaby Mountain Lions set a new provincial mixed freestyle relay record at the B.C. high school sports swimming championships at Watermania in Richmond. The Lions’ team of Brian Fung, Elaine Lam, Cristian Cristurean and Robyn Lee shattered the eight-yearold record in the preliminaries, and then set another new mark of 1:45.35 en

route to the gold medal in the final of the 200-metre relay. The old record of 1:47.20 was set in 2005 by West Vancouver. Lee, one of more than a dozen swim academy students on the Mountain team, helped the Lions to a fourth-place overall finish. “It was pretty cool. It was a busy meet,” said Lee, who swims for Simon Fraser Aquatics. “At the club level there is more focus individually, but when you’re racing for
your team it’s more like time to represent your school. You just get into it more. It’s your teammates are swimming, too.” Lee also won an individual gold in the open girls’ 50m free and was fourth at the 100m distance. Cristurean was a runner-up in the boys’ 100m free. Fung had strong final swims in the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley. St. George’s took the overall aggregate title
with 629 total points. Mulgrave placed second at 489 and Delta third with 394 points, while Burnaby North rounded out the top 10 at 246. Mountain also placed third in the boys’ aggregate behind St. George’s and runner-up West Point Grey Academy. North finished in sixth spot. York House topped the girls’ division. Mountain and New Westminster finished 13th and 20th, respectively.
The Mountain Lions also received strong supporting swims from Daniel Kilmaster, who was fifth in the boys’ open 100m free, and fourth, along with teammates David Pinsky, Mark Peng and Igor Lazic, in the 200m free relay. Pinsky also had a best fifth in the 50m free. Mitchell Kilmaster had four top-eight B swims, including fourth in the 100m free, fifth in the 50m Swim Page 24
Senior Carlo Basso put Simon Fraser University through to the sweet 16 with a golden goal in NCAA Division II men’s soccer. The Clan head to the third round of the NCAA championship tournament following Basso’s gamewinning strike in the 106th minute in a 2-1 victory over top-ranked Cal State Los Angeles on Saturday. Basso, a former Great Northwest conference player of the year, took a cross from this season’s top player Chris Bargholz to send the Clan on in national championship play. Earlier in the week, SFU blanked California Baptist University 5-0 in the opening game of the Div. II tournament in Los Angeles. “To come to Los Angeles and win against a fresh team is an amazing accomplishment,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a school press release. “Our lads deserved the win tonight and literally battled to the end to achieve the desired outcome. I am incredibly happy for Carlo Basso. He has had a tough senior season, but came up big when we needed him most.” In the second-round win, Jovan Blagojevic opened the scoring in the 55th minute on a header off a long throw-in from Colin Jacques. Cal State tied the match in the 70th minute. On Nov. 14, freshmam defender Alexander Kleefeldt gave SFU a 1-0 lead early in the first half. Conference defensive player of the year Alex Rowley then tallied his first two goals of the season to put the Clan ahead 4-0 at the interval. Ryan Dhillon also scored in the opening half. Jacques added a final goal for SFU midway through the final period. SFU will face the No. 2-ranked UC San Diego, in Denver later this week.

Knights outsted by No. 1 Mt. Douglas
It was a tough end to an even rougher season for the St. Thomas More Knights. The Knights were knocked out of the B.C. high school AAA varsity football playoffs following a 56-24 loss to the defending two-time provincial champion Mt. Douglas Rams on Friday. STM’s converted quarterback Malcolm Lee soldiered through with another strong game, throwing for 120 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown strike to J.J. DesLauriers, and rushing for 170 yards on the ground. The Knights defensive secondary also showed well with Drew Belgrave and Kevin Marshall leading the team with eight tackles apiece. Jordan Mckenzie
had six tackles and two quarterback sacks, while Anthony Carteri added five individual stops. But making up for the loss of all-purpose back Jalen Jana and quarterback Chase Malcolm for all or part of the season was a trial at times for the Knights. “When you look at the year as a whole, considering we didn’t have Jalen and Chase, it was a snakebitten year, but when you had that many guys out and still have a season like we did, it was a good year,” said Kully of the team’s 8-4 year. “There were a lot of life lessons learned from this year about what the future holds, and I’m proud of how we competed.” – Tom Berridge
