List of heroes grows in city Eight residents recognized for going above and beyond the call of duty in Burnaby By Janaya Fuller-Evans
jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby is adding eight new heroes to its growing roster. Prominent senior rights activist George Doering is one of the winners of the 19th annual Local Hero Awards, selected by the city’s social planning committee from a pool of 12 publicly nominated Good Samaritans. Doering teaches workshops through the Council of Senior Citizens Organizations of B.C., has volunteered at the office of NDP MLA Raj Chouhan for a decade, and was a member of the New Vista Society executive for 18 years, according to the report. “George has been a tireless advocate and volunteer all his life,” his nomination stated. “He has been an instrumental member of the Burnaby-Edmonds community.” Rotarian Janice Froese was nominated for her work with the Rotary Club of Burnaby Deer Lake. She is involved with a number of schools and youth organizations, and coordinates the club’s Burnaby Boots for Kids program in the winter. Aliya Jiwa has volunteered with the Burnaby Art Gallery for more than five years and works with the organization,

Report: Pipeline will cost city millions By Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
The proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion could cost cities like Burnaby millions more in extra infrastructure costs, according to a study filed as evidence in the National Energy Board hearing for the Trans Mountain expansion. Meanwhile, Mayor Derek Corrigan is saying Burnaby
can’t be expected to absorb those costs. “Cities have to be able to pass on those expenses to the people who are making a profit off the pipeline,” Corrigan told the NOW. Five municipalities - Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and the Township of Langley - commissioned Associated Engineering to complete the study.The objective was to determine how much extra they
are already paying, thanks to the existing Kinder Morgan pipeline, and how much more they can expect to pay if the pipeline expansion is approved. According to the study, the current annual costs for operating, maintaining and replacing city infrastructure near the existing pipeline are $5 million for all five municipalities combined. If the pipeline expansion is approved, the projected costs total $93

million over a 50-year period. Burnaby is now paying an annual $1.2 million, but that could rise to approximately $1.5 million should the second pipeline go through.The 50-year projected cost for Burnaby alone is $17.6 million. Extra costs associated with building around and maintaining city infrastructure close to private utility lines is nothing new. Continued on page 4

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Whistleblower protection needed here “Enough of the obfuscating, weaseling, dissimulation, doubletalk, verbal subterfuge, stonewalling and other distasteful conduct that hangs like a miasma over the shameful events surrounding the precipitous firing of eight Ministry of Health researchers in 2012.” We couldn’t have said it any better. But we will add our voice to their voice and many others in this province. TheVancouver Sun called
for a public inquiry in a noholds barred editorial on its front page last week, and good for them. The editorial outlined the outrageous behaviour of the government after the firings. How it led taxpayers to believe that there was an ongoing RCMP investigation in an effort to avoid publicity and how it’s still attempting to either hide or mislead voters. There can be only one reason for such behaviour.
Someone has something to hide. In fact, many people may have many things to hide. The fact that the government hoped that the more time went by, the less people would care has backfired on them in a very big way. If anything, the cries for accountability have intensified. And while the province issued a lame apology – only after the family of one of the men sacked, who later committed suicide, kept the is-
sue front and centre – there are still too many unanswered questions.Who fired them and why is the biggest one. Could the firings be connected to big pharmaceutical companies pressuring the government?We don’t know, but it looks like only a public inquiry will result in finding out the answers. And, we’re not big on public inquiries.They are often very costly and very long. But when there is no
simpler transparent way of finding out the truth, well let’s have one then. Now, if B.C. had some form of whistleblower legislation, things like this might be averted. If a government employee discovers something he or she believes is wrong, whistleblower protection may prevent the situation from snowballing. Just having the whistleblower protection may make potential wrongdoers think twice.
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario have whistleblower legislation and a few cities, such asVancouver, do as well. Burnaby doesn’t have whistleblower language in its collective agreements, and neither does NewWestminster. If any form of government is serious about running a transparent, healthy system, it seems like a nobrainer to have whistleblower protection.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Election truly a three-way race The looming federal election is already shaping up to be one of the most intriguing, interesting and historical contests in decades. Last week, for example, saw Liberal leader Justin Trudeau hold a splashy news conference. He wants to change everything from how we elect governments to how Parliament is supposed to work to guaranteeing gender parity in cabinet to requiring Supreme Court justices to be bilingual. Not to be outdone, Prime Minister Stephen Harper held his own big photo-op promising more than $2.5 billion in funding for Toronto’s transit system. Nothing particularly new there, but it got the PM some headlines and photos with Toronto Mayor John Tory and Finance Minister Joe Oliver, who just happens to be an MP in the Toronto area. Meanwhile, the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair is basking in the sunshine that comes with leading a series of national opinion polls, as increasingly commentators are taking seriously the possibility that he could actually become the next prime minister if he can continue his steady ways. Something extremely unusual is happening here. For the first time ever, all three parties and their leaders are being taken seriously when it comes to who has the best shot at forming government. The NDP has little chance of winning a majority government, but it does have the real potential to
win the most seats come October, which means it may be able to form a minority government with the support of the Liberals. In B.C., things should be more interesting than usual when it comes to which seats will be won by which party. Frankly, most B.C. riding races lack drama on election night. Most are won by one particular party (generally, either the Conservatives or the NDP) by fairly comfortable margins. But this time things should be more exciting, to the point where Eastern voters may be paying attention well into the evening as some B.C. races may go down to the wire with a number of ridings potentially changing hands. If the Conservative vote does indeed slip from 2011 levels, and if NDP support also climbs a bit (a scenario that seems to be a realistic possibility) it would appear that as many as 10 or so ridings may disappear from the Conservative camp and walk over to the NDP side.That would be a nearunprecedented redrawing of B.C.’s electoral map. Of course the campaign still has four more months to run. It’s going to be fascinating to watch. No matter what the outcome, the result in October will be a profound one that may affect this country like few elections before it. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

WHERE EXCITEMENT LIVES
Dear Editor In April I was put in Burnaby Hospital after a few falls and no appetite. I ended up in 4 West. I’ve never come across such excellent nurses, who are worth every penny they are paid for the patience they have and concern for their patients. Also, Burnaby needs to be proud of the wonderful doctors they have, as I had bone marrow checked by my oncologist Dr. Wendy Lam, I had scans, X-rays, biopsy and finally nuclear medicine to check if my heart was strong enough to accept chemotherapy. I was sent home after three weeks, ended up with bronchial pneumonia. Back to Burnaby Hospital, this time in Ward 5. I never knew Burnaby Hospital had a special area for seniors. Again the best of care, even down to nurses who love to sing in the hallways, and I must mention the cleaning lady in 4 West who was always so pleasant and singing while she worked. I know there are some complaints re our hospital, but from my point of view, we need to be very proud of our doctors and nurses we have at Burnaby Hospital. Gladys McManus, Burnaby
Laural Harris Eacott It is so obvious you are a Liberal lover, you work for Christy Clark. Never did Jen lead this recall as a Liberal hater. It is so obvious that Lee isn’t and hasn’t done his job.

MikeB The total number of people who signed on the dotted line to remove Lee from office, meanwhile, won’t be disclosed for “strategic purposes” and to avoid tipping off the Liberal camp. Comments like this shows that the teacher running this campaign just did it because she was anti BC Liberal and all her claims about Lee not being a good MLA (even though he was elected several times) was a bunch of hooey. The only thing missing from the recall legislation is for penalties against people like her who obviously take advantage of a loophole in recall when she doesn’t live in Lee’s riding, teach in Lee’s riding or live in the city of Burnaby yet is an authority on how irresponsible Lee is as an MLA. Hopefully she uses more common sense in her classroom than what she displayed publicly otherwise the quality of education takes another hit. If the Liberals wanted to they could very easily go after some Burnaby NDP members and create a vicious circle but it would be a misuse of recall; a fact that seems to have gone over Heighton’s head.

Dear Editor You’ve got to be kidding me, it cost the taxpayers $142 million to run the city? Many making more than $200,000, more than 200 people making more that $100,000, and almost 650 making more than $75,000. No wonder our taxes keep going up (again and again). This is not a responsible government but one that is taking care of its own at our expense. A couple big problems, as I see it: One, the mayor and council are responsible for dealing with employees and their salaries. Thus, isn’t there a major conflict of interest when the unions involved in the negoThis is not a tiations are responsible also major government but contributors to the mayor one that is taking and council care of its own. campaigns? Secondly, while people are complaining about how expensive it is to buy a home in the Lower Mainland, our mayor and council add approximately $75,000 in cost to each and every condo unit being built in our city with its misleading “community service fee.” Lastly, all of the aforementioned condos have added millions to the city’s tax base thus greasing the skids for our government to spend more and more each year. And rather than lowering taxes, they keep spending more and more (in addition to taking care of “their own”) and continue to raise taxes. We do not have good city government. In fact, despite what some may claim, we are being taking advantage of with the mayor and council simply being out of control. Bill Phelps, Burnaby

Eastlake Campus puts a new face on industry New business park offers ‘in-between space’ that’s neither warehouse nor office, for companies in need of flexible facilities Janaya Fuller-Evans
jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com
Burnaby’s newest campus isn’t for students – it’s an evolution of the conventional business park. Instead of wide spaces dotted with massive, uniform midrises, the new Eastlake Campus consists of six buildings joined by a road that curves past fountains and plazas. “It’s a great organizing system to use for a site,” said Norm Couttie, president

of the Adera Development Corporation. Adera is developing the site in partnership with Sun Life Investment Management. “I don’t think this has ever been done in this way before,” he said. “(Campus) is sort of a word that gets used but in this case, we’ve taken that word to heart and tried to make it like a university campus, where the
different faculty buildings are all linked up around a pathway system.” Eastlake Campus, with its 310,000 square feet of warehouse flex space, is in the final phases of development, with the first building opening this summer, according to Couttie. “It’s the last undeveloped site in the Lake City business park,” he said. “It’s the final piece of the whole puzzle.” The site was a challenging one to develop, he added. “The reason that it took so long to get developed is, it’s got a creek on either side and quite a steep slope,” he explained. The first tenant is Novadaq, a B.C. company that makes imaging technology for surgeries, he said. “They do high-tech medical imaging,” he said, adding the tech company uses fluorescent dye to illuminate organs and other body systems, for use during surgery. Novadaq, previously based in Richmond, began occupying 36,000 square feet of the first building as of June 1, according to Couttie. “We’ve got that much again leased out in the other

buildings,” he said, adding the contracts are being negotiated. “We’re over 50 per cent leased right now.” The Lake City business district is popular with tech-
nology companies because of its central location and its proximity to SkyTrain, according to Couttie. “This is attracting a higher office component than
you might normally see, which is why it’s sort of turning into a tech park,” he said, adding technology companies need flexible facilities, with lab space, pro-
duction space and office space.“You can’t often do all that in an office building – and it’s not a warehouse, either, it’s this in-between space.”

Cool tunes on a hot day: Above, three-yearold Malik Giri enjoys a popsicle while catching some outdoor music with his mom at UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain. At right, Francis Henson entertains passersby with some sweet summertime tunes . It was all part of the summer busking series on the mountain, which sees performers in the town square at UniverCity every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. PHOTOS LARRY WRIGHT
Perfect mix: Garden party, art talk and photos Summer is certainly here as entertainment moves outdoors into city gardens and public spaces Julie MacLellan THE LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
If you’re a fan of photography or gardening – or both – you’ll want to stop by the Burnaby Village Museum this weekend. A reminder to all fans of urban farming that this weekend is a garden party and artist talk for Ward Teulon: Growing Season, the Burnaby Art Gallery off-site exhibitions that are currently underway at three locations around the city.
The exhibitions are on at Stride Studios at Burnaby Village Museum and two Burnaby Public Library branches – Metrotown (6100 Willingdon Ave.) and McGill (4595 Albert St., North Burnaby). All three feature the work of Ward Teulon, who has captured Burnaby’s urban gardens, their harvest and the creatures who live in them. The garden party and artist talk is set for Saturday, June 27 at Burnaby Village Museum.You can tour backyard garden displays and photo exhibits,
enjoy live music and sample some refreshments. Teulon will be on hand, as will representatives from the Burnaby and Region Allotment Garden Association and other local urban farmers. Check out www.burnaby artgallery.ca for more details. THE 90 PER CENT AND ABOVE CLUB! Congratulations are in order for some local music students who emerged with top-notch results from the recent Royal Conservatory of Music examinations.
Robin Chen of Burnaby’s Starlight Music Studio sent us an email to let us know about some of the studio’s student achievements. Thomas Li, Harold Yan and Cynthia Li all earned 95 per cent on their advanced rudiments exam, while Jenny Guo earned 90 per cent on her Grade 9 piano exam and 91 per cent on her music theory/ harmony exam. Kudos to all! You can find out more about the studio at www. LearnWithRobin.com or call 778-838-3416.
BE IN THE MOMENT WITH BUSKERS Nothing says summer like outdoor music. If you want to enjoy some of the best summer has to offer, be sure to stop by UniverCity at SFU on Wednesdays. Each Wednesday, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., musicians will be on hand to entertain folks in the town square (next to the Cornerstone building). Francis Henson performed on June 17, and Caitlan Read brings her fiddle to the square for today’s (June 24) show.
On July 8, it’s the string duo Stringz Aloud, and 17-year-old singer-songwriter Kaya Kurz is featured on July 15. Each day also includes a UniverCity market and a ping-pong table, plus seating, so be sure to turn out to enjoy a summer afternoon. Check out www.univer city.ca/events for the full list.

Free safety seminar on W
hat are the best ways for seniors to stay safe, online at home or in the streets? Members of the public can find out at a free upcoming event hosted by the Burnaby Seniors’ Resources Society. George Greenwood, a specialist in identity theft prevention, and Dawn Dickinson from the Burnaby RCMP’s Crime Prevention Unit will speak at Bonsor Recreation Centre tomorrow (Thursday). “The seniors are so generally so trusting, and they come from an era where you were taught to trust,” Greenwood said. “Once you’ve become a victim, it could hurt you for the rest of your life. The whole
thing is to teach people they need to be more careful.”
Thursday’s safety talk is the second in an education series.
Greenwood, who’s bestknown for his Keeping Your Identity Safe seminars, will present information on safety for homes, personal auto and mortgage and home.
The Burnaby Seniors’ Resources Society decided to host the workshop based on interest from seniors.
“If they change a few of their basic habits, then they can be more in a position to not be attracting thieves,” he said.
The society is a group of senior-focused businesses and non-profits dedicated to promoting healthy aging and education support and resources for seniors.

Trendy T-shirt a walking ad for Burnaby
Tereza Verenca
editorial@burnabynow.com
Tourism Burnaby is promoting the city this summer in a different kind of way – by making people into walking billboards. The organization has been selling trendy Ts and tanks as part of their T-shirts for a Cause program, which kicked off June 6 at Hats Off Day. “We had a lot of buzz before we started,” said Anna Schlagintweit, manager of business development for Tourism Burnaby. “(We) had orders coming in over the phone and by email.” Of the 500 shirts printed, 167 were sold that day, she added. “People said they had heard about it online, their friends had shared it.There were people who lived in Burnaby for a really long time that were really excited about it,” she said. “We had a lot of SFU students coming by, and they posted on Instagram and they would come back and get four more for their friends.” To date, more than half of
the T-shirts have made their way into people’s closets. While Tourism Burnaby’s goal is to promote the city as a destination, Schlagintweit said the initiative is also being used to raise funds for Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s Community Kitchen, a weekly program offered at Edmonds Neighbourhood Resource Centre and Burnaby Neighbourhood House South, where

thing sells out, she added her team will look at doing something similar in the future. T-shirts come only in adult sizes, from small to XXL, and carry a mini-

Putting senior skills to work Tereza Verenca

A recent SFU graduate is hoping to match semiretired professionals with part-time work through a new startup. Lauren Watkins, along with co-partners Jamie Crocker and Nikita Zhitkevich, launched Excellara on June 1.The website allows those currently living out their golden years, who perhaps want to work a few
hours every week, to connect with businesses looking to hire for positions related to accounting, HR or law. “If I had a problem, I would always ask my dad. There’s just so much knowledge to be shared that younger people don’t have,” Watkins told the NOW. “That’s also a huge opportunity for young business people like myself, who might not have the funds to hire somebody with that much experience, but who
could gain so much from that.” Watkins and her Ontario colleagues met through the The Next 36 program, which aims to connect and help some of Canada’s best young entrepreneurs by offering mentorship and financial support. The trio came up with the online concept earlier this year after talking to more than 200 retirees, aged 55 to 69, about how they could best serve Canada’s seniors.
“We saw a huge market with the baby boomer population and found that many are bored and still have the energy and desire to work part-time,” she added. “Those are areas where experience matters the most. In areas such as marketing, companies would probably prefer somebody who’s younger.” The initiative hits close to home for Watkins because Continued on page 16

Communitynow Company puts semi-retired professionals’ skills to work Continued from page 11 her father, Jim, a “workaholic” who used to own a janitorial company for 35 years, struggled with his own retirement. “He couldn’t wait because he never travelled,
never had a vacation, because he was glued to his phone. As soon as it happened, he didn’t really know what to do with himself. He just played video games all day; it drove my mom crazy.
He kind of got depressed, really bored and felt almost a loss of identity,” she explained. Since its launch earlier this month, Excellara has attracted 14 potential employ-
ees and three businesses so far.Watkins’ goal is to have 600 retired professionals, 97 jobs and 32 matches by the end of August. Excellara started with initial seed funding of $5,000
from the investment group tied to The Next 36 program, with another $5,000 received this month. “We are running on a very lean model, and so far, have been able to keep our costs
low,” saidWatkins, adding the group plans to apply for small business and government grants in the future. To sign up (free of charge), visit www.excellara. com.

Looking to show off your motorcycle riding skills, or perhaps you’re in need of a refresher? The Burnaby RCMP is inviting residents to its first-ever motorcycle safety skills challenge later this month. The event, a first for the local RCMP detachment, will have riders traverse a recertification course to test their riding skills. Mounties will be on hand throughout the course to guide riders and answer any safety questions they might have. “It is our hope that riders will gain new skills and become more confident after taking the course,” noted a press release from the Burnaby RCMP. The main focus of the event is to share up-to-date safety information with riders, especially about riding at dawn or dusk, as well as information on new motorcycle laws. There will also be information on learner and new motorcycle licences. In addition to the recertification course, RCMP officers with the motorcycle unit will be on hand to inspect motorcycles for any

defects. Representatives with the Association of Injured Motorcyclists, B.C. Ambulance Service and ICBC will also be at the event handing out information. The course is based on the RCMP motorcycle training officers are required to complete, which Burnaby RCMP Chief Supt. Dave Critchley, an avid motorcyclist himself, hopes will draw participants to the event. “By sharing our expertise, we are offering motorcycle riders an opportunity to be as safe on the road as a trained RCMP motorcy-

It will be a unique opportunity for the public to train like we train and learn what we know and I encourage you to take the challenge.” Participants who complete the challenge will be entered to win new safety gear, valued at $1,000.

Jr. Lakers jolt T-Men for third
Burnaby takes over game with five-goal third period Tom Berridge
tberridge@burnabynow.com
The Burnaby juniors made their fathers proud with a character third win of the season on Sunday, June 21. The last-place junior A Lakers looked anything but a pushover on Father’s Day, vanquishing the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen 14-8 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. Danny Spagnuolo, rookie Mitch McDole and team scoring leader Aidan Milburn led the charge, while goalie Graham Husick stopped 36 shots in the Burnaby cage for his second win of the year. “It’s coming from our defence, it’s the nastiest I’ve seen them. I love it,” said Husick, who was picked up from New Westminster for Steven Mayervich at the end of May. “Our coach tells us we are a band of brothers.We don’t give up anything easy.” Burnaby entered the third period with a slim two-goal lead after Nanaimo closed the deficit with three goals in the final three minutes of the middle frame. But the Lakers showed a stature that was in short supply this season, re-establishing their dominance to start the third on Spagnuolo’s fourth goal of the game in the opening minute of the period. Minutes later, McDole
followed with his fourth counter of the contest. Captain Corey Wong then sparked a three-goal mini run to put the Lakers in full control. Milburn, who had a game-high six-point night, put the game away with back-to-back counters two minutes apart. “It’s the best we’ve moved the ball this year,” said Lakers head coach Brad Parker. A key was the offence holding up their end of the floor to give the back end time to catch its breath. Spagnuolo opened the scoring and put Burnaby ahead 5-1 with his second of the game shorthanded. After Nanaimo crept to within a goal midway through the second period, it was Spagnuolo again who got things going with his hat-trick marker. McDole, with a pair to earn his hat trick, and Ryan Vogrig also scored in a three-minute span to bump the lead to a five-goal margin. “It was a team win,” added Parker, “they didn’t squeak it.They took it over.” With five games left on the schedule, Burnaby will have to pull off a few more surprises to match last season’s five-win output. Burnaby met New Westminster at Queen’s Park on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines).The Lakers also host Victoria at the Copeland centre on Sunday at 5 p.m.
Close call: Team captain Christine Sinclair of Burnaby, in red, came close to scoring in Canada’s 1-0 Round-of-16 victory against Switzerland at the 2015 Women’s World Cup before more than 53,000 fans at B.C. Place on Sunday. With the win, Canada’s national women’s soccer team moves on to the final eight next week at B.C. Place. See story on page 20. PHOTO COURTESY JENNIFER GAUTHIER
Runner up for Woman of Year
Accolades keep on coming for Clan middle distance champion
Middle distance runner Lindsey Butterworth of Simon Fraser University and basketball star Suzanna Ohlsen of Seattle Pacific were among the 480 female student athletes nominated for this year’s NCAA Woman of theYear award. Now in its 25th year, the Woman of theYear award honours graduating NCAA female college athletes who have completed their eligibility and distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service and leadership. Butterworth, who captured 10 Great Northwest conference titles and seven All-America awards dur-
ing her collegiate career, was honoured as the conference’s Female Athlete of theYear in 2014/15. This past season, the health sciences major won NCAA Division II crowns in the 800 metres at both indoor and outdoor national championships in addition to capturing five conference titles. At the NCAA outdoor championships last month, Butterworth clocked a winning time in the 800m of 2:02.88, just four-tenths of a second off the championship meet record. Ohlsen, a biochemistry major who had perfect 4.00 grade point average in the classroom during her four-
year academic career, was selected the women’s basketball NCAA Div. II Academic All-American of the Year and the Great Northwest Scholar Athlete of the Year. She was also an honourable mention All-American for her performance on the hardwood. This past season Ohlsen finished third in the Great Northwest in scoring, with 17.7 points per game, fifth in steals, with 2.3, sixth in assists, with 3.9 and ninth, with a .832 free-throw percentage to earn first team all-conference honours. Of the the nearly 500 nominees, 93 competed in Division II. All conference nominees
are forwarded to the Woman of theYear selection committee, which chooses the top 30 honorees – 10 from each division. From the top 30, the selection committee determines the top three nominees from each division and announces the top nine finalists in September. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics then chooses from among those nine to determine the 2015 NCAA Woman of theYear. The NCAA Woman of theYear winner will be announced, along with a celebration for the Top-30 honourees, at the annual award ceremony in Indianapolis on Oct. 18.
Four university ball players invited to ID camp
Simon Fraser University freshmen Taylor Lundrigan, Taylor Gillis and Katherine Murnaghan and incoming recruit Samantha Ruffet were among 28 players invited to participate in the 2015 Canada junior national softball team selection camp. Infielder Lundrigan, outfielder Gillis and catcher Murnaghan attended a Western Canada identification camp in late May, earn-
ing an invitation to the final selection camp, beginning June 27 in Cloverdale. Ruffet, a catcher from Brampton, Ont., who will be joining the Clan this fall, also earned an invitation to the final camp. The final roster will be named following the selection camp and the team will compete in the Futures Gold division of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship
from July 6 to 12 in Surrey. Players will then return home before regrouping for a training camp from July 30 to Aug. 5 in Brampton prior to travelling to Oklahoma to compete at the Junior Women’s World Championship, which is scheduled to take place from Aug. 9 to 15. Lundrigan was second on the team in batting, with a .327 average and led the Clan with 48 hits.
She was also second with four homeruns in 48 games this season. Lundrigan finished two hits short of the Clan freshman record of 50 hits set by Angela Lichty in 1999. Gillis broke the freshmen record for at bats in a season, with 155 plate appearances this year. She had 38 hits, two homeruns and 12 RBIs, while batting .245. Murnaghan split time as catcher for the Clan, ap-
pearing in 28 games. She had seven hits and five RBIs in 33 at-bats. Ruffett is captain of the Brampton Blazers and led the team to the 2014 provincial championship for a second year in a row, leading the team in home runs. She attends St. Roch Catholic Secondary School, where she is an honour roll student and captain of the volleyball team. After holding three re-
gional identification camps in Cloverdale and Saskatoon in May and in Brampton earlier this month, the junior women’s national team coaching staff extended invitations to the 28 athletes to compete for a spot on the 2015 Canadian team. Half of the final 28 athletes invited to the final camp hail from British Columbia. Ontario had five invitees.

Canada’s player of the match, goalie Erin McLeod, ensured the victory for the red and white, making a game-saving stop off Swiss striker Vanessa Bernauer with a diving save off a low shot in the final five minutes of play.

Bruna and Tony Valentini have celebrated every milestone - christenings, birthdays, Owner, Paskalidis anniversaries and more Harry - at Little Billy’s Steakhouse ever since it opened its doors four decades ago. “My hair salon used to be next door to the restaurant so I started going for lunch,” says Bruna.“ Today, Tony and I, our children and grandchildren go because the food is always delicious, it’s homemade and the service is friendly… we’ve become good friends with Harry (owner/chef Harry Paskalidis).” Bruna went on to say Tony regularly goes to Little Billy’s on Saturday afternoons to enjoy lunch with friends. “Tony and I love everything there,” she says. “Our favourites include the lamb, pasta, veal cutlets and the prawns.” In October, Harry and his staff will celebrate 40 years of serving the best of Mediterranean cuisine - the freshest bounty from the sea, the best cuts of meat and traditional Greek dishes from Northern Greece - at his upscale casual North Burnaby restaurant.

As soon as you walk into Little Billy’s Steakhouse and catch of waft of Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, you know you are in for a special evening of culinary delights. Customers keep coming back for its Roast Lamb, Scallop Al Forno in a baby dill reduction, the Chef cut bone-in rib eye, the Paidakia Ribs (a house specialty), or Lobster Linguini married with jumbo prawns and scallops. In addition, he offers a number of pasta and Greek dishes, all made in-house. As one of the longest running restaurants in the city, Little Billy’s Steakhouse is at once an intimate dining rendezvous for two and ideal for a gathering of friends, business associates or family. There’s an air of elegance in Harry’s modern-style steakhouse - with the crisp white linen, beautiful leather seats and the rich, warm wood paneling. Mark your Calendars: To thank their loyal clientele, later this year Harry and wife Irma will celebrate this auspicious milestone with a number of specials.
