Fraud case moved for fifth time Bookkeeper had been charged with defrauding Alpha secondary of $66,000 over two years By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A bookkeeper who pleaded guilty well over a year ago to defrauding a Burnaby school of $66,000 has yet to make a plea that sticks. Jodi Fingarsen, a 48-year-old former bookkeeper at Alpha secondary, pleaded guilty to fraud in February 2014 for 66 irregular cheques she wrote between 2008 and 2010. During a sentencing hearing in June 2014, however, judge Frances Howard threw out Fingarsen’s guilty plea, saying the bookkeeper hadn’t actual acknowledged guilt. “She seems to be doing everything she can in her interviews to avoid admitting the actual act of fraud by kind of slipping under the umbrella of accepting responsibility in a very vague sort of way,” Howard said. Since then, Fingarsen has been scheduled to enter a guilty plea four times, according to court services online, but each time her case has been adjourned at the request of her lawyer, the second she has retained since her case began. Fingarsen appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court last Tuesday, and her case was put off again until June 16. Crown Counsel Peter Stabler called the case “straightforward” at last June’s sentencing hearing. When asked this week how long cases of this kind usual take to resolve, he said, “Not this long.” Besides the criminal charges, Fingarsen also faces a parallel civil claim from the Burnaby school district, launched in June 2012. It alleges Fingarsen, who was Alpha’s bookkeeper between 2007 and 2010, stole up to $100,000 from school coffers over

Newsnow OIL SPILL RESPONSE

Kinder Morgan promises more resources if pipeline OK’d Pledge includes opening five new bases and hiring 100 new workers By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

STORMTROOPERS INVADE:

A squad of Imperial Stormtroopers from the Galactic Empire invaded north Burnaby on Saturday, and local merchants welcomed them by rolling out the red carpet. The elite soldiers from Star Wars were joined by Darth Vader, Chewbacca and a host of other fictional characters. It was all part of the Hollywood-themed fun at the annual Hats Off Day festival, organized by the Heights Merchants Association. “It went really well,” said Isabel Kolic, the association’s executive director. “Quite a few people are saying it was one of the best ones ever.” Kolic estimated 60,000 people attended Hats Off Day, which spans several blocks along Hastings Street. The event includes a parade, a show and shine, and booths featuring local businesses, political groups and non-profits. Other Hollywood characters included Harry Potter, Captain Picard and Kolic as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

Parade: Top, Stormtroopers ham it up for the crowd in the Hats Off Day parade. Middle, some of the elaborate costumes on display. Bottom, Natalie Lehr-Spawinski and Cynthia Hendrix from the Burnaby NOW hand out goodies to the crowd.

If the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion goes through, the company plans to invest $100 million in marine oil spill response plans, which include opening five new bases in B.C., 100 new staff and cutting spill response times in half. “As part of the expansion, there’s a commitment to have an enhancement of (Western Canada Marine Response Corporation)’s existing resources,” said Kinder Morgan’s Mike Davies. “It would result in doubling of planning standards for response capacity.” Western Canada Marine Response Corporation is responsible for marine oil spill cleanup in B.C., and the Kinder Morgan plan would increase the company’s staff from roughly 50 to 150. “We think it’s fantastic.The proposal by Trans Mountain will only benefit the entire shipping community in terms of the response,” said Michael Lowry, spokesperson for the corporation. WCMRC’s main base is in Burnaby.The Kinder Morgan plan includes five new bases, some of which will be operating 24 hours. The locations have not been finalized yet, but WCMRC is considering areas near Deltaport, Nanaimo, Sidney, Sooke and Ucluelet. Staffing and equipping those bases requires roughly $100 million and 100 new employees for WCMRC, which currently has about 50 fulltime staff. “That’s going to be a significant increase in our capacity,” Lowry said. For spills in the Vancouver port, initial response times would be reduced from six hours to two.The next step involves bringing in extra vessels and equipment to handle a spill up to 20,000 tonnes, and the response time for that would

go from 72 hours to 36. Spills outside Vancouver’s port would have a six-hour response time along the southern shipping route, which runs underneath the lower portion of Vancouver Island. WCMRC is now required to handle a cleanup of 10,000 tonnes of oil within 10 days, according to Transport Canada regulations, although the cleanup company can actually handle up to 26,000 tonnes, but that’s for the entire West Coast of B.C.

That’s going to be a significant increase ... With the Kinder Morgan expansion, the volume would increase to 20,000 tonnes for the southern shipping route. An Aframax tanker, which is the type typically filling up at Westridge, can carry up to 120,000 tonnes of crude, but they can only be filled to 80 to 90 per cent capacity, depending on the tides. WCMRC has agreed to bolster response plans for Kinder Morgan as long as its existing customers don’t have to pay.That’s why Kinder Morgan is charging its tanker customers an extra, temporary fee to cover the capital investment needed to boost response capacity. Kinder Morgan has applied to the National Energy Board to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline and expand the Burnaby Mountain tank farm and the Westridge Marine Terminal, where tankers fill up with crude. If the expansion is approved, the resulting tanker traffic would increase from five vessels per month to 34.

Fraud case gets moved again Continued from page 1 three years. Besides writing fraudulent cheques, the civil claim alleges Fingarsen “fraudulently converted, for her own use and for her own benefit, various amounts of cash received from numerous sources as a result of fundraising activities, donations, student fees and fees for field trips, etc.” After criminal charges were laid in March, Burnaby RCMP spokesperson

Cpl. David Reid told the NOW civil cases tend to follow the criminal trials. “The civil trial looks to see what is happening with the criminal case first,” he said. “A civil trial does not require the (beyond a reasonable doubt) standard of evidence a criminal trial does.” Stabler, however, said there’s no reason the criminal case should be holding up the civil claim. “They should have no

effect on them whatsoever,” he said. “Civil can go in parallel with criminal and vice versa.”

New Sport Burnaby brand launched in city Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Hey there, sports fans, Tourism Burnaby has something for you. While the city has long been known for its athletic events, from ringette tournaments to Clan basketball championships,Tourism Burnaby is now working with organizations to make holding events in the city easier to manage. The initiative comes with its own brand – Sport Burnaby – which has its own web page on Tourism Burnaby’s new website.While the organization has worked towards drawing championships and other sports events – and the crowds that come with them – the cohesive initiative needed its own identity, according to Jennifer Scott, manager of Sport Burnaby. “The Tourism Burnaby brand had taken us to a certain point,” she said. “But we wanted a new emphasis, that with the Sport Burnaby brand, showed the expertise, the area of focus, the sport hosting history, and the resources that are available to sport groups that

are looking to Burnaby as a host community.” Finding a venue, hotel, bus transportation, and making all the connections necessary for holding a major event can be daunting for organizers, Scott pointed out. “So we work as a onestop shop to try to alleviate those concerns or smooth out those bumps, or connect them with whatever resources they need in the community,” she said.

Sport Burnaby is really helping us put the bid together

Sport Burnaby works with other sports organizations in the community as well, such as Fortius Sport and Health, city facilities and Simon Fraser University. Fortius recently hosted the Western nationals for rhythmic gymnastics, according to Scott.

“When we have events there, we work in partnership with them,” she said. Upcoming city events include the Pacific Soccer coaching conference and expo next week, the B.C. Rugby provincial championships at the end of June, and the Cascadia Master’s rowing championships in July. SFU has been involved in the Sport Burnaby initiative, particularly when it comes to attracting Great Northwest Athletics Conference events to the city, according to Milton Richards, director of athletics and recreation at SFU. SFU is the only Canadian member of the college athletic conference. “We have a lot of out of town guests coming to town, especially with athletics,” said Richards, who represents SFU at the Burnaby Board of Trade and Tourism Burnaby. Next fall, SFU is going to host the GNAC women’s soccer conference championship, he added. “Sport Burnaby is really helping us put the bid together,” he said. Last year, GNAC held their commissioners’ con-

ference at the Hilton Metrotown in Burnaby.Tourism Burnaby was very involved in putting the bid in for the conference, as well as setting it up, according to GNAC commissioner Dave Haglund. “Tourism Burnaby has welcomed the GNAC with open arms,” he said. “We really appreciated all their

efforts in helping us land that CCA meeting last year.” Burnaby is a good location for GNAC events as it is an easy road trip for many of its members, he added. “Burnaby and Vancouver is obviously a world class metropolitan area,” Haglund said. “It’s convenient to many of our institutions.”

SFU may end up hosting other GNAC championships in the future, he added. “Certainly, Simon Fraser Burnaby would be on our radar for other possible host opportunities in sports like basketball, softball, cross country, those types of things,” he said.

Stoney Creek group earns environment award Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

The stewards of Stoney Creek are being recognized in 2015, the 25th year of their annual Great Salmon Send-off. The Stoney Creek Environment Committee celebrated its 25th anniversary in May and released thousands of coho smolts into the water to bolster the lo-

cal salmon population. This month, the committee has won the city’s Community Stewardship Award. Coun. Anne Kang, head of the City of Burnaby’s environment committee, announced the six winners for the 2015 Environment Awards at the last council meeting. “In total this year, there were 22 nominations,” Kang said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

‘Tis the season to be extra careful When the sun comes out and temperatures go over 25 degrees some people seem to lose their brains with their shirts. So, to try and forestall some of the summer follies and tragedies (both big and small) we offer this list of the top 10 things to do or not to do. For those who always keep a cold brewski in the fridge and next to the patio chair, perhaps you may want to post this right on the fridge door: 1. Do not leave your patio

doors unlocked when you live on the first floor. Unless, of course, you want to help out the local thieves. 2. Do not leave top floor windows open when you have toddlers.Those flimsy screens will not stop adventurous kids – and will certainly not stop them from falling through. 3. Do not leave dogs or children in cars alone during the summer – period. Forget about the “it’s only for a minute”, or “there’s a breeze today and I left the

window open”. If you are in doubt about this, park your car in the sun and close the windows and sit in it yourself. 4. If you live in an apartment and if your apartment allows you to barbecue on your balcony and if you’re sober – cook on the grill. But if any of those ingredients are missing – don’t do it.We have enough file photos of blackened balconies and firefighters climbing up ladders trying to get people out of danger.

5. Let the bugs and dandelions live. Slug bait and other killer chemicals should not mix with dogs and kids on lawns. Forget that they say it’s safe.Who wants to be part of a scientific study that disproves it 20 years later. 6. If you’re lucky enough (and rich enough) to have a pool then you can afford a secure fence and manage to ensure that no kids are using it unsupervised. Pools are wonderful – but can also be lures for young ones who

can’t swim, or older ones who can swim but want to show off to friends. 7. Going for a walk in the woods. Keep your eyes and ears open.We’re lucky to be close to nature. But nature isn’t always so lucky to be close to us.There are bears nearby, sometimes cougars – and there’s some pretty big mosquitos out there as well 8.Watch out for cyclists. And cyclists – just plain watch out.There’s more out there in the summertime

and you can miss them in the glare of a sunny day. 9.You don’t think it’s hot enough for heat stroke? Think again.Wear a hat and keep hydrated. And, finally, number 10: Don’t take risks.Whether you’re diving off the dock or driving to the park, or running outside with a bucket of ice cream, it’s better to slow down and think about it before you rush.The extra couple of minutes may just save your life, or someone else’s.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Are Liberals going rogue? Eventually, in the life of a government, arrogance and cynicism seem to inevitably find their way into the core of its existence. After 15 years in power, we may be witnessing that with the B.C. Liberal government, which has snagged itself on two hooks, neither of which they are demonstrating much of an ability to wriggle free from. One of those hooks is the festering sore that is the mysterious firings of more than a half dozen health ministry drug researchers back in 2012.The health firings continue to be one of the more astonishing episodes in B.C. political history. Seven people had their lives altered (one committed suicide) and the government essentially lied about what happened. The latest revelation -that there was no RCMP probe after all, despite the government claiming there was one – is truly breathtaking in how it put to the lie a key part of the government’s narrative. Government officials (Premier Christy Clark being the latest) keep apologizing for this tawdry tale, but no one can say who, exactly, pulled the pin on these firings and who authorized the phony RCMP story.The whole sorry episode is starting to resemble a Nixon-like coverup. There is, apparently, nothing on the written record when it comes to government records.

This aversion to recordkeeping is not an isolated example. For years, a culture has been building within the B.C. government that avoids putting things on the record, preferring to practise what Freedom of Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has called an “oral government.” And so we have the latest allegation from a former political staffer in the B.C. Liberal government.Tim Duncan claims when he resisted deleting emails that related to a Freedom of Information request that had come to his ministerial office, a senior staffer grabbed his keyboard and deleted the dozen emails himself. If true (Denham is investigating), this incident speaks to an almost cheerful disregard for the law, or at least the spirit of it.When routine Freedom of Information requests come back with absolutely no records relating to the issue at hand – a recurring event it appears – you know something bad is going on. Firing employees for false reasons, refusing to create a public record and then destroying it if it’s requested -- these are the actions of a government that appears ready to go rogue if that’s what it thinks is required. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C. See a full version of this column online at www.burnaby now.com.

Celebration turned to horror after a rooftop parking lot above a newly opened Save-On-Foods in Metrotown’s Station Square collapsed on shoppers in April.The roof gave way suddenly, sending cars and debris plunging into the store, shortly after Mayor Bill Copeland and other officials had delivered speeches to mark the store’s official opening. About 1,000 people were in the building at the time of the collapse. Fifteen were taken to hospital, but only two remained more than two days.

Kinder Morgan pledges money for oil spill cleanup staff

Dear Editor In the June 5 Burnaby Now, Michael Davies of Kinder Morgan says that “There’s nothing more important than the safety of our neighbours, …” Kinder Morgan’s proposal is to triple the amount of flammable toxic material directly above our neighbourhoods and an elementary school. The storage terminal is not “located at the base of Burnaby Mountain”, as Mr. Davies says; instead, it is on the slope of the mountain itself, uphill from residential neighbourhoods. Mr. Davies refers to the lack of a fire incident in the first 60 years of the storage terminal as if it predicts future events. It does not. We have not had a large earthquake in the last 60 years but may have one at any time. The safety of the existing tank farm has simply not been tested. According to our Deputy Fire Chief’s report, the new tanks proposed are so large, and their proposed configuration so close together, that a fire could not effectively be fought. According to a recent report by international petroleum safety expert Dr. Ivan Vince of the U.K., not only would this expansion NOT be approved if it was proposed in the U.K. or the EU, but the existing tank farm would not be permitted to be built today in its current location. The report also criticizes Kinder Morgan’s emphasis on risk mitigation strategies. Because Kinder Morgan stands to profit from the expansion, their statements are potentially biased and should not be automatically taken at face value. Evidence from independent experts who have nothing to gain is far more credible than potentially biased statements made by Kinder Morgan. And saying the expansion is safe, in TV and print advertisements and statements to the media, does not make it true. I believe that Kinder Morgan is downplaying the real danger to our community. I urge all residents of Burnaby to read our Deputy Fire Chief’s report (tinyurl.com/KMFireReport) and Dr. Vince’s report (tinyurl.com/ KMVinceReport), and decide for yourselves. Angela Brooks-Wilson, PhD, Burnaby resident and Simon Fraser University professor

B.C. needs antiSLAPP legislation Dear Editor No corporation, including Kinder Morgan, should be permitted to file multimillion-dollar lawsuits simply to discourage people legitimately protesting their project, and there should be a law in place to prevent that from happening. It is quite obvious the intent of Kinder Morgan, who voluntarily dropped the suit, when they got the effect they wanted from the courts. Unfortunately, one gentleman, at least, was more than $50K in the hole for legal bills, just to defend himself against the lawsuit filed by Kinder Morgan. This gentleman has now filed a lawsuit against Kinder Morgan to recover the costs of his legal bills and for the stress exerted on him by Kinder Morgan’s frivolous lawsuit. B.C. should have anti-SLAPP back on the books, which was on the books until the Liberals repealed it, to give an advantage to their corporate owners. J. Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

WINDOW COVERING EVENT

Ziggy Eckardt Money can not cure everything. But even the best plans or ideas need money to put them to work. What a great announcement by Kinder Morgan! earlrichards Kinder Morgan owns 50% of the Western Canadian Marine Response Corporation, so Kinder Morgan is just giving the $100 million to themselves. JohnCHunter And the amazing increase in response capability is irrelevant? Earl, give your head a shake. Industry can’t win with you, can they? They form an organization decades ago to clean up spills, fund it, and then reinforce it, and all you have is negativity. earlrichardsThe Harpercons should have left the Coast Guard where it was. They have better equipment and the staff are already trained. Closing the Kitsilano Coast Guard Base near the entrance to Vancouver Harbour was stupid. JohnCHunter MY opinion: Earl, as usual, you have all your facts wrong. I have told you this before - WCMRC has the spill cleanup equipment; the Coast Guard has essentially nothing - ditto the old Kits station. The Coast Guard role is to co-ordinate cleanup, not do it. Having seen your posts for a year, I believe your motto is “if my story does not fit the facts, the facts must be disposed of”. And you do so consistently.

Rick McGowan Mr. Myers should have added “in cities” to the sentence, “Democracy in Canada and in British Columbia has been hijacked by the corporate agenda and a complete lack of honest leadership.” Anywhere there is a strong majority or monopoly government in Canada we see an erosion of transparency and democracy, and, as the writer points out, the rise of corporate and special interests above the interests of the community politicians are supposed to represent. I can think of a few other politicians that deserve recall. Ziggy Eckardt Mr. Myers, I wonder why you include the federal Conservatives in your lament about “taking marching orders from their corporate masters...” Are you by chance referring to our NDP MP Mr. Kennedy Stuart? lmyers No. Mr. Stuart represents the interests of the citizens of his riding in a way that should be a lesson to the puppets that do only what Stephen Harper demands eg. James Moore (who has no qualms about misrepresenting the failed efforts to respond to the fuel spill in English Bay).

Tow truck dispatchers locked out in dispute Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

The B.C. Automobile Association locked out approximately 70 tow truck dispatchers on Monday, after contract negotiations between the company and the dispatchers’ union fell apart. The members of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378 wore hats to work on Friday in violation of the company’s dress code, as part of their limited job action. Soon after, BCAA served the members with lockout notice, according to

the vice-president of Local 378, Heather Lee. “Basically, they kidded on Friday when they came into work wearing hats from their home wardrobe, just trying to get the employers’ attention, to say let’s get back to the bargaining table,” she said. However, Brenda Lowden, BCAA vice-president and chief people officer, said the lockout had nothing to do with the employees wearing hats. “The union issued 72hour strike notice on May 29, and then refused to share any details of that

strike plan with us,” she said, adding the company found out the employees were sharing call scripts. “When we found out about that, we had no choice but to issue lockout notice.The union then engaged in a fullscale unscheduled break, and that left no one answering phone calls in our road assist emergency call centre. “We realized, as a result of that, we have to take action and implement a lockout to ensure that our service is never interrupted like that,” she added. The dispatchers’ contract expired last September.

On Friday morning, BCAA also informed the members the company would not be accepting vacation requests from them. The company locked the employees out at 4 p.m. sharp on June 8, according to Lee. “It was actually rather bizarre. Our members were basically interrupted midcall, and the call was put on hold, and the members were asked to leave the building,” she said. The company commenced with the lockout due to concerns that services to BCAA members were

being affected by the dispute, Lowden said. “We saw evidence of some disruptive activity,” she said. “So when that happens, our service is first and foremost paramount to our members.They need to know that they’ll continue to get the service that they expect.” Managements is covering all the calls and dispatching drivers as needed, she added. The primary issue between the two parties is compensation. According to the union, employees of BCAA’s car sharing com-

pany, who do similar tasks, work 35 hours a week and are paid the same wages as the COPE 378 members, who work 40 hours a week. But the company feels the compensation it is offering is adequate, according to Lowden. “BCAA provides fair compensation to all its employees and we will always be equitable to everyone, and that’s a history that we’ve got,” she said. Both sides say they want to get back to the bargaining table. For more on this story, go to www.burnabynow.com

Gordic’s family calls for change in charge Should youth be tried as adults in death of teen? Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Out of a senseless and tragic crime can come positive change – at least that’s what friends and family of Luka Gordic hope. Gordic had just turned 19 years old when he was killed in Whistler on May 17.Three 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old, Arvin Golic, were charged with manslaughter for their alleged involvement in his death. Police say Gordic’s death was the result of an altercation between two groups of young people, but his family disagrees. Gordic’s family and friends believe the four accused in Gordic’s death should be charged with murder and treated as adults, rather than young offenders, and they’ve been

collecting signatures to petition Crown counsel to seek the more serious charge. “This isn’t just about Luka’s death, but it’s about the seriousness of this situation and how common it unfortunately is.They want people to know that collective-

This isn’t just about Luka’s death.

ly, we can make a change so that, in future, others do not need to suffer this heartbreak and injustice,” Sarah Long wrote in an email to the NOW on the Gordic family’s behalf. As of June 8, more than 23,900 people had signed the Change.org petition.

Once Gordic’s family has collected 25,000 signatures, they will forward the letter to Crown counsel. “Together, we might be able to convince the Crown to charge these men as adults with murder,” states the petition’s website. In the meantime, a website has been created to bring attention to the family’s #JusticeforLuka campaign. On June 21, friends and family of the Burnaby youth will hold a memorial in Whistler, and everyone is welcome to attend. “This is a very difficult time for us all, and if there is any good that can come out of this tragedy, it’s that we’ve made a positive difference,” Long wrote. For more information on the campaign and the petition, visit justiceforluka. com.

Mary Hawkins Occupation RETIRED PUPPETEER Why is she in the news?

While many local residents may live to see their 100th birthday, few can claim to have lived in Burnaby their entire lives.That’s what makes Mary Hawkins’ June 4 birthday so special.The centenarian was born and raised in Burnaby and still lives independently in her South Burnaby home that she bought with

her husband in the 1950s. Hawkins, who enjoyed a long career as a professional puppeteer, retired at 75. She gathered with friends and family for a birthday lunch on Sunday at the Hart House, the same place where neighbourhood kids congregated decades earlier. – Jennifer Moreau

mind on something else.

Congratulations on your 100th birthday. Yeah, I feel good. I can’t believe I’m that old. What is your secret for making it to your 100th birthday? Well, one thing, I don’t worry. I think it’s a grave a mistake for people to worry about things. I just take day to day as it comes, you know. How does one not worry? That’s a hard things to do. It’s a waste of time. I put my

Can you tell me a little about what Burnaby was like before, when you were a child? Well, it was a lot more rural than it is now, a lot of woods. I lived on Percival Avenue, and there were lots of trees and the roads weren’t paved the way they are now. Douglas Road was.

It was a lot more rural when I was growing up

in Burnaby? We used to go swimming in Deer Lake, and we used to go for walks, and just things kids do. I went to Douglas Road school. What are the biggest changes you’ve noticed over the years in Burnaby? People used to be clearing their lands, a lot of smoke, a

lot of bonfires. … Of course it’s got a lot more traffic and a lot more people. It was a lot more rural when I was growing up. I understand you were a puppeteer.Was that your paid profession? Yes. I really enjoyed it, and it was well paid. I liked writing shows, and I like performing. … It was fun. Everybody came to the shows.

Summer Camps

Try camping before you buy all of the gear The Outdoor Founda!on reports that millions of North Americans go camping in a given year. Typical campers go on Nve camping trips per year. Campers include friends on their trips 70 per cent of the !me, and hiking is the most popular camping trip ac!vity. Camping is a popular ac!vity, but many curious would-be campers do not know where to get started. It can be temp!ng to purchase all of the gear needed and trek out in the woods to give it a try. But, if camping is not all you expected it to be, you have just made a costly investment in a lot of equipment you are unlikely to use again. Instead of jumping right in, Nrst try to learn as much about camping as possible. Do your homework, learning about various camping styles and which ones you prefer. Does the idea of ren!ng a recrea!onal vehicle sound more invi!ng than sleeping in a

tent? Would you prefer a campground with showers, toilets and other ameni!es, or is roughing it in the great outdoors more appealing? Once prospec!ve campers are able to Nnd their camping path, they can explore all of the possibili!es and give it a trial run. TEST THE WATERS

There’s bound to be a camping enthusiast in your midst. Find a friend or family member who enjoys camping out and Nnd out if you can join him or her on his or her next trip. Take advantage of this person’s supplies (you may need to purchase nominal equipment, such as a backpack and sleeping bag) and exper!se. Such trips can provide some Nrsthand experience, and friends can o"er advice on the keys to successful camping. It is generally easier to learn the ropes from someone who has experience choosing

campsites and pitching tents, and this person also can o"er sugges!ons about gear. HOW RUGGED ARE YOU?

The deNni!on of camping varies from camper to camper. For some, camping must include sleeping on a bedroll strewn out under the stars, while others may appreciate a few more luxuries on their camping excursions, like the

running water or equipment o"ered at a campsite or park. S!ll, others do not want to leave the perks of home at home, preferring the comfortable living of a recrea!onal vehicle. Nothing can end a camping excursion more quickly than discomfort and not enjoying the experience. It is be#er to Ngure out in advance just how rough you want things to be.

CLASS ACT

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby North Grade 11 student Jonathan Lew earned second place in a national competition last month after capturing the beauty of physics in a photograph. Lew snapped a shot of Seattle’s 184m-tall Space Needle reflected in a glass sculpture, and was runnerup in the InternationalYear of Light category of the Canadian Association of Physicists’ Art of Physics competition last month. The association has run the annual contest since 1992 in a bid to stimulate interest, especially among non-scientists, in the imagery associated with physics. The challenge is to capture a beautiful or unusual physics phenomenon in a photo and explain it in less than 200 words in terms everyone can understand. Lew explained the giant Seattle landmark – and much of the surrounding area – was visible in the reflection because the sculpture acted as a spherical mirror. To see all the winners, visit www.cap.ca/aop/art.html. ARTS CONNECTION Students at two Burnaby schools connected with the arts this year thanks to a $13,000 grant from the Westminster Savings Foundation. More than 250 students at Morley and Edmonds elementary schools spent the school year exploring the visual arts, dance, drama, and rock and roll in Connecting with the Arts, an after-

school program for students in grades 1 to 7. Designed to help kids develop social and emotional skills, the program runs throughout the school year, with eight-week units focusing on each art form. “For those kids who haven’t found their place through academics or athletics, this program can be their avenue to connect with the school, come out of their shell and have some fun,” Morley youth worker Lana Horton said. Burnaby’s Connecting with the Arts students showcased their new art skills at a year-end performance at Morley elementary last month.

PHYSICS EXCELLENCE Two Burnaby students cracked into the top 10 of a national physics competition last month. Burnaby South’s Federico Firoozi and Cariboo Hill’s Ray Zhang scored third and 10th respectively in the 2015 Sir Isaac Newton Exam put on by the department of physics at the University ofWaterloo in Ontario. Tao Jin from Burnaby North came in 77th. More than 1,900 students from across Canada, the U.S. and other countries wrote this year’s exam in May. SKILLED CANADIAN Burnaby South student Jason Sherle reached the podium at the 21st annual Skills Canada nationals in Saskatoon, Sask. last month – and only missed qualifying for theWord Skills competition by two steps. Sherle, a student in the Burnaby School district’s ACE-IT auto collision re-

pair program, won bronze, behind a gold medalist from Manitoba and a silver medallist from Alberta. Skills Canada puts on Olympic-style multi-trade multi-technology competitions at the regional, provincial and national level for young Canadians pursuing skilled trades. Sherle qualified for the nationals by winning gold at the provincial competition in April. He also won the faculty award for top student in the auto collision repair and refinishing program atVancouver Community College, which partners with the Burnaby district to offer the ACE-IT auto collision repair program.

Are you a winner in the lottery that is life? HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

I have a funny habit of buying the occasional lottery ticket and not checking the numbers, knowing full well that winning tickets are worthless after one year. Lotteries foster magical thinking.We like to dream. What would you do with an extra $1,000, $10,000 or $100,000? What would you do with a million dollars? Those really big numbers both delight and confuse us.We forget about the teeny, tiny numbers – like our odds of actually winning. Lotteries can be a tax on the poor. As a kid, I remember seeing desperate looking people spending $20 or more for the improbable chance of winning big and improving their lives. The feeling of imagining winning really is enjoyable, and to some it can be an addiction.That magical feeling and the optimistic thinking that goes along with it instantly deflate when we’ve

found out we’ve lost.That’s probably why I wasn’t keen on checking my soon-to-be unlucky numbers. Even if you don’t buy lottery tickets, you’re still a player in the big lottery of life. There’s the genetic lottery, the random mix up of genetic traits you acquired

How would you use the gifts you’ve been given? from your mom and dad. If your parents don’t look like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, you probably don’t look like either of them. You got half your genes from each parent, but those genes were randomly distributed to you and any siblings. Nature may have thrown in a number of mutations, and this all makes you a complete individual. Your unique genetic makeup, the events of your

life, your childhood and your relationships are yours alone through chance, serendipity, karma or divine intervention.You may not think of these as prizes, but they are. If you knew you had just one year, one month or one week left of life, what would you do with this time? How would you use the gifts you have been given? With your limited time remaining, who would you call? What would you say? Who would you spend time with? Where would you go? What would you do? The reality is that our lives are limited.Though we live each day with an assumption of immortality, we won’t live forever, and because of this, we limit ourselves.We don’t take stock of what we have when we have it and this is what limits us most. You have a unique potential in your life today. It is worth much more than the lottery ticket in your pocket and certainly more than the old ones in your drawer. Life is a lottery, but most

You win! You’re already a winner in life’s lottery. Just don’t forget to share your gifts with others. Spend time helping people and strengthening your relationships. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

of us don’t realize what we have won. Check your winnings now and spend them while you can. Look at your talents.What useful skills come easily to you? What can you improve and refine with practice? Look at your relationships.What can you do to

appreciate and strengthen those connections? Is there anything important left unsaid? In what ways can you express your love? Look at the positive potential of each day.What small thing can you do to make someone else’s day? Who in need can you help?

What great things can you do with your life? You are already a winner. Share your special gifts with others. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. Read more about achieving your positive potential at davidicuswong. wordpress.com.

BurWest pair win it again St.Thomas More Collegiate finish in fourth place in overall track and field aggregate Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

New Westminster’s wonder women helped do it again. Senior sprinter Raquel Tjernagel and all-round Grade 11 athlete Nina Schultz headlined the 48th annual B.C. high school track and field championships, winning six individual gold medals between them and figuring prominently in a seventh – the girls’ 4x400 metre relay. The accumulation of medals was good enough to ensure the Hyacks’ track team a second consecutive girls’ and overall aggregate banner for New Westminster that made school history last year with its first-ever provincial banners in track and field. Schultz won the meet’s most outstanding female athlete honour for a second straight year, winning the long jump, high jump and triple jump to go along with the second consecutive provincial heptathlon title she won two weeks earlier. Tjernagel, who defended her provincial high school titles in both the 100 and 200m, did not compete in the 400m, where she set the fastest time in the world to date, breaking the 53-second barrier in her age group earlier in the season. Both girls were at their best in the relay as well, finishing off the meet with spectacular individual relay legs. After junior varsity relay partners Emily Chilton and Grace Fetherstonhaugh did their part, Schultz took the baton in sixth place and moved up three places before handing off to Tjernagel for the anchor leg. The Coquitlam Cheetah sprinter took the baton trailing well behind the leaders but proceeded to reel in the front runners, catching them all by the final 200 metres and blazing down the stretch with a 10-metre lead before breaking the tape almost two seconds ahead of the runner-up in a winning time of

4:03.03. “I just knew Raquel would take it home,” said Schultz after the race. “We all pushed hard,” added Tjernagel. “I always find it fun running with the team.We always push each other.” Although well off the provincial record in the relay,Tjernagel and Schultz defended last year’s titles, posting big numbers in their respective victories.

Tjernagel defeated St.Thomas More Collegiate rival and runner-up Zion Corrales-Nelson to win the 100m for a second straight season and successfully defend the 200m for a third consecutive year, clocking winning times of 11.76 and 24.34, respectively. Schultz also defended her B.C. high school titles in the high jump and triple jump, while taking the long jump for the first time with a

5.69m leap. Schultz won the high jump at 1.75m and the triple jump, with a 11.64m leap. “I’m pretty happy with it. I personally don’t care about the winning. It’s all about the results and getting better,” said Schultz. Tjernagel was equally satisfied despite failing to break the provincial records in both sprints. “I wanted to get both, it’s my last year. But I’m happy with that, it’s OK,” said Tjernagel. Corrales-Nelson picked up a third straight senior metric quarter-mile gold medal with a winning time of 55.60. Her times in the 100 and 200m were also fast – an 11.96 in the sprint and 24.74 in the 200m. “I just wanted to run a good race, but there is still a lot of work to do,” said Corrales-Nelson. Elsewhere on the track, Burnaby Central’s Nathan Mah garnered a pair of bronze medals in the senior boys’ sprints, placing third in the 100m in a time 11.39 after posting the fastest time in the preliminary heats with a 11.08 clocking. STM’s Samantha Landoldt also captured a medal at the provincial meet, finishing third place in the girls’ shot put following a 10.63m throw in the shot put. Landoldt also placed fifth in the javelin. Finishing just off the podium in fourth place were Ben Steele for STM in the boys’ javelin and New West’s Shea Jobson-Stier in the boys’ 2,000m steeplechase. Also making finals were Byrne Creek’s Kimberly Ma in the girls’ 100m hurdles, Racquel Milosavljevic of Central in the girls’ 100m, Joshua Juni of STM in the boys’ 800m and Marco Sherwood of Central in the boys’ long jump. “We’re definitely running for individual pride, but it comes down to what you can do for the team,” said Juni, who will run track next year with Simon Fraser University.

Jrs stage big comeback for second win Burnaby Lakers score seven unanswered goals to knock off the PoCo Saints Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

A bad penalty brought out the best in the Burnaby Lakers. Stinging from a 7-2 deficit, the junior A Lakers turned a five-minute slashing major into the catalyst for an unlikely comeback in Burnaby’s 9-7 victory over the Port Coquitlam Saints at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. Two shorthanded coun-

ters by Aidan Milburn and Anthony Quattrano, to start things off, sparked an unanswered nine-goal rally that ended a Burnaby losing streak at nine games. “We always seem to dig ourselves a big hole and always come back, but this time we came back and won,” said Milburn, who led the Lakers with a hat trick. With six call-ups and its two top midget draft picks out of the lineup, Burnaby

took inspiration from righthander Tyler Kirkby and Danny Spagnuolo, on the left side, to keep the comeback going in the final 20 minutes. Kirby shaved the deficit to 7-5 with a lazer to the top corner in the opening minutes of the third period. Spagnuolo, with back-toback markers less than two minutes later, tied the contest at sevens. Jordan Lashar scored the game-winning goal on an

unassisted loose ball breakaway at the midway mark of the period. Milburn finished off the Saints with his league-leading 26th goal of the season – a quick shot from the right side to the top corner that beat PoCo’s Giulio Del Bianco. Graham Husick had his best game in Laker green, posting a 0.837 save percentage while making 36 stops and blanking PoCo from the 6:39 mark of the

second period on. “I just think we needed to bear down,” said Milburn. “It was definitely a Burnaby (character) win.We’re pretty fired up in there. But we’ll have to come down to Earth for our next game though.” Burnaby is in Ladner Saturday for a date with the Delta Islanders.The Lakers are back at the Copeland centre next Sunday to meet the Langley Thunder. Game time is 7 p.m.

Moscrop places fifth at bird B.C.s Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Moscrop Secondary is making quite a racket in Burnaby high school sports these days. Shortly after the West Burnaby secondary school posted a best-ever fourthplace finish at the B.C. high school AAA tennis championships, Moscrop made more school history, placing fifth following a three-day competition in Kamloops at the B.C. high school senior badminton championships. It was also the best finish for any Burnaby school badminton team at the provincials. The Moscrop Panthers finished second in pool play to Killarney but came back to knock off the Vancouver champion 6-5 in the final placement match. Grade 11 twins Grace and Megan Wang won the crucial game-winning girls’ doubles match in the team format. In pool play, Moscrop lost to Killarney by a similar 6-5 score after scoring onepoint wins over Vancouver Island runner-up Mt. Douglas and Fraser Valley No. 3 Maple Ridge. “Winning against Killarney was a huge plus for the kids,” said coach Cindy Wu, a former instructor at Moscrop but now teaching at Burnaby Central Secondary. Moscrop finished first in the BurWest district and then defeated Sentinel in zone play to advance to the provincial championships for the ninth time in the past 10 years. Moscrop’s previous best finish was seventh place. The Panthers were ninth at last year’s provincials. On Day 2 of the provincials, Moscrop lost to Fraser Valley No. 2 and eventual third-place-finishing Pinetree 7-4. The Panthers set themselves up for a best-ever finish with a narrow 6-5 win over Vancouver Island champion St. Michael’s University School. Grade 11 player Harmony Ky was voted the team’s MVP. “Cracking the top eight was a huge achievement for us,” said Wu. “It was also the team’s goal.”
