Two injured in home invasion Alfie Lau

staff reporter

A woman in her 70s and a 20-year-old man sustained injuries after their home on Ashley Grove Court, at the base of Burnaby Mountain, was the scene of a Thursday afternoon home invasion.

At 3:30 p.m., the Burnaby RCMP responded to a report of two men wearing balaclavas who had burst into the home and confronted the senior.

When the 20-year-old came downstairs to see what was happening, the two men assaulted him. The two assailants then fled the scene without taking anything.

The suspects are described as Caucasian and wearing black clothing, including the black balaclavas that covered their faces.

“The 20-year-old received minor injuries, mainly lacerations,” said Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Ted De Jager, adding that the woman was taken to hospital for assessment and observation.

De Jager said early indications are that the attack was not random and that the 20-year-old and the two suspects appeared to have some sort of relationship.

The Burnaby RCMP are continuing their investigation. alau@burnabynow.com

Environmental concern? Signs along the shoreline of Burrard Inlet warn about the work being done following the discovery of gas, diesel and crude oil seeping into the inlet.

Search underway for oil source Gas, diesel and crude oil found seeping into Burrard Inlet is not a leak: Chevron Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Workers are cleaning up a mixture of gas, diesel and crude oil near Burnaby’s Chevron refinery, following the discovery of some material seeping into the Burrard Inlet and a nearby ditch.

“It is not a spill, it is not a leak, it is a

groundwater seep, and it is being treated as such, and there has been no evidence of any wildlife or impact to the environment at this point in time,” said Chevron spokesperson Ray Lord.

Lord said it’s hard to say how much material is involved, but it’s “not a significant amount.”

Lord said the material was found in April during a routine inspection of a perimeter monitoring well system the refinery uses to identify any problems with material underground that needs to be intercepted or cleaned up.

“During the course of inspecting our well system, we became aware of some hydrocarbon in a ditch … below the refinery along a railroad track,” Lord said. “We saw traces of what looks like gasoline and a bit of diesel and some traces of crude oil.”

The material was also mixed with water, but Lord said they haven’t pinpointed exactly where it is coming from.

“It doesn’t appear to be the result of a rupture or a failure of some kind. It seems to be a historic accumulation that may now be being picked up by the groundwater,” he Oil Page 8

A vital new work of art Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

T

homas Cannell, a Coast Salish artist, wandered through Deer Lake Park and the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts to develop his concept for Burnaby’s newest public art piece.

What he saw, everywhere, were families.

Vitality, which was installed on Wednesday, is representative of a family journey, Cannell said.

The sculpture is composed of four large basalt columns in a base, which represents a canoe.

Each roughhewn column depicts different aspects of the family, sculpted into the stone using a variety of techniques.

“I wanted to play with the texture of it,” Cannell explained.

To that end, Cannell polished parts of the piece to the consistency of granite countertops and incorporated chiselled texture, as well as the natural stone, which surrounds the images.

For video Cannell had originally coverage and considered creating a flat more photos piece and looked at wood as go to www. burnabynow. a medium, as he has worked com extensively with wood in the past. But basalt does not need maintenance and will last for thousands of years, he pointed out.

The medium also connects with the newly installed Spirit Square, where the sculpture is located, which has basalt banding embedded in the concrete.

Spirit Square is adjacent to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

Cannell started the sculpture in November, searching for the largest columns he could find through landscape suppliers. He finished the piece last week.

Each of the columns is about three metres tall and weighs more than 10 tonnes.

It was the second public piece Cannell has completed on his own. Cannell, who is the son of well-known Coast Salish artist Susan Point, often works with his mother on projects as well.

Cannell is now working on designing cable trays to be installed at Deer Lake Park, which will be able to hold electrical cables and hoses so concert- and festival-goers will not trip on them.

It is one of the many projects underway as Deer Lake Park is renovated prior to the summer festival season.

“I’m glad they allowed me to do this,” Cannell said.

He is incorporating elements of the park in the design, including fish, deer and flowers – tulips, in honour of his Dutch grandmother.

However, the individual elements will be difficult to spot without stopping to look at them, he said.

Sex tourism offender under cop surveillance Burnaby man awaits decision on electronic monitoring

A 59-year-old international art dealer from Burnaby who has pleaded guilty to 15 sex tourism offences in Colombia and Cambodia is under police surveillance while awaiting sentencing.

Kenneth Robert Klassen is currently under police surveillance while lawyers go before the courts to determine if Klassen should be eligible for electronic monitoring.

Crown prosecutor Brendan McCabe is seeking to vary Klassen’s bail conditions to put him on the electronic monitoring program.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen learned that Klassen’s surveillance is being conducted by the integrated sexual predator observation team because the Crown considered Klassen a flight risk.

Klassen had to surrender his passport as part of his bail conditions, which include not to be in the presence of children without permission, to remain in B.C. and not to be away from his residence more than 24 hours.

Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson said a report has to be done on Klassen to determine whether he is suitable to be put on the electronic monitoring program, which requires a person to wear an ankle bracelet that is monitored electronically by a computer and connected to a phone line.

If the person being monitored breaches their bail conditions – for example, leaving their home while under a nightly curfew – the computer automatically makes a call

to alert authorities.

The bail variance matter was adjourned until 9 a.m. on June 1.

Klassen’s case was scheduled to go before a jury on Thursday, but a week earlier, on May 21, he pleaded guilty to 15 counts, including 14 counts of sexual interference of young girls – eight in Cambodia and six in Colombia. The girls were all under the age of 14.

He also pleaded guilty to importing child pornography by mailing porn to himself from the Philippines.

The offences took place between December 1998 and September 2004.

Klassen was originally arrested at his Burnaby home in March 2007 and charged with 35 sex tourism offences involving 17 young girls, including three in the Philippines.

It was only the third sex tourism case to be prosecuted in Canada.

The investigation of Klassen began at Vancouver International Airport on Aug. 27, 2004, when officers with the Canada Border Service Agency identified a suspicious parcel that was labelled “quilts” but was found to contain undeclared DVDs with images of child pornography and bestiality.

The parcel, destined for a home in Burnaby, was monitored by police and was picked up by Klassen, who was then charged with possessing and importing child pornography.

Search warrants were subsequently executed on Klassen’s home and a rented Vancouver storage locker, where police seized a video camera and 21 DVDs. – Canwest News Service

Nobody on either side of the HST debate has talked a great deal about what might happen if the HST is killed.

Where will the money be found to pay for recent extravagances like the Olympics, if the extra tax money the HST would bring in doesn’t materialize (and despite protestations to the contrary, it’s clear that the HST would constitute a tax increase)?

How will B.C.’s business-friendly reputation be affected by the demise

of a business-friendly HST (its business-friendliness has been a prime selling point)? What will happen to the province’s excellent credit rating when it can’t collect the taxes it needs to pay its bills? Will the Liberals slice more off health and education budgets and lay off even more government workers?

The HST is being widely recognized as a poorly designed tax – but, given the current state of the anti-HST drive, somebody had better start thinking about rational alternatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Not anti-tax – we’re anti-lies

Dear Editor:

Re: HST will help British Columbia, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, May 22, from MLA Richard T. Lee. It is surprising that a sitting MLA like Mr. Lee has no clue what “party platform” means, but let me help explain. When a political party provides a list of things they will do if elected, it is called their “platform.”

Thus, when even Mr. Lee admits that “certainly HST was not in the party platform,” that means that the HST was not something the Liberals were going to implement if elected.

Understandably, that is why the public is so upset when the Liberals implemented the HST

about a week after being elected.

We, the public, are not “anti-tax.” We all understand the costs of running a province, but we, the public, are very much anti-lies, as Mr. Lee and the rest of his party will find out, quite harshly, in 2013.

either pass on to consumers like you and me or reinvest in their businesses to help grow the B.C. economy and drive our province out of the global recession.

Either way, the HST is a win for the people of B.C. Small businesses have long been able to claim back the five per cent GST they pay on the things they need to run their businesses. But they have never been able to claim back the seven per cent PST they pay, leaving them no choice but to pass along that seven per cent to consumers like you and me.

The HST finally corrects this situation.

B.C.’s small businesses will soon be able to claim back the full 12 per cent they pay in sales taxes on the things they need to run their businesses.

These are the same small businesses that employ most of the people in this province; the same small businesses owned and operated by your friends, your neighbours and your family members.

The HST cost savings will apply to practically everything a business needs to function. The list, for anyone who bothers to seek it out, is extensive and includes everything from office furniture, software, vehicles, computers and machinery to office supplies, business travel costs, legal fees, advertising, phones, cellphones, energy and packaging costs.

The HST is going to give B.C.’s small businesses a seven per cent shot in the arm, and the resulting lower prices, increased investment, increased competitiveness, new jobs and other positive benefits will revitalize the B.C. economy.

These are the facts about the HST that have somehow been lost in the conversation.

Municipalities are relying too much on business tax Dear Editor:

Re: Corporate vote is anti-democratic, In My Opinion, Burnaby NOW, May 22, by Coun. Sav Dhaliwal.

While I agree that corporations shouldn’t have the right to vote in local elections, at no time, in his opinion article, does Sav Dhaliwal address the issue of over-taxation of businesses at the civic level.

Clearly businesses pay significantly more in taxes than they receive in services, and the corollary to that is that individual tax payers, and facility users, are not paying in full for the services that they receive from the civic governments.

I would like to see if Sav Dhaliwal has the political honesty to stand up at the next election and suggest that ordinary homeowners and users of services should pay significantly more in taxes to cover their shortfall in payments.

I suggest he would not, relying on rationalizations, platitudes and misdirections.

It is an easy mark for any local politician to tax an entity that doesn’t have the vote to defend itself at the ballot box.

Brian Bonney (Give civic vote back to businesses, In My Opinion, Burnaby NOW, April 24) and others feel that if businesses had the vote, the over-taxation imbalance would be narrowed.

Clearly, Sav Dhaliwal is being dishonest in suggesting that every other level of government, including NAFTA, is responsible for over-taxation at the local level.

Well, they aren’t: ønly local governments over-tax locally.

Until the provincial government accepts its responsibility in this area, organizations that are over-taxed are going to look for alternative solutions to the problem.

services to keep the people from revolting.

Now that the Euro zone is collapsing under excessive taxation, stagnant growth and government overspending to compensate, can we at least agree the HST there didn’t create the economic boom the Liberals are trying to sell us on here?

So just where is this

magical HST land where the economy is booming and jobs are being created due to such a tax?

Alberta – whoops – no takers. Manitoba? Wrong again. Saskatchewan?

Nope – they tried it in 1991 and got rid of it, and the government who gave it to them! Imagine that.

They actually got to try the benefits of this wonder tax for one-and-a-half years

and threw it out the first chance they got. What ingrates.

If only they had Colin Hansen’s Liberal vision for the people. “A chicken in every pot, a (used) car in every garage, and an HST on everything.”

The Taylor Park work will require about 150 manual hours of work, an estimated value of $27,300. At Deer Lake, the project will require about 28 hours of manual labour, an estimated value of $6,100.

Oil: City councillor raises concerns continued from page 1

said. “We know the general area where it may be coming from, and we’ve been pressure testing various pipes and underground systems at the refinery to try and find if there’s a point-source where it’s coming from. But at this point, it seems to be coming from a general area we’ve known about for a while.”

Lord said previous inspections didn’t show evidence that anything was wrong, although he wasn’t sure when the last inspection was done.

In the meantime, Chevron has been cleaning up the material, using a pipe that helps collect and vacuum it up.

“We’re doing that on a daily basis,” he said, adding they are trying to prevent more material from entering the system.

Lord also said Chevron alerted the authorities when they found the oil and gas: Environment Canada, the B.C. Environment Ministry, the City of Burnaby, Port Metro Vancouver, Fraser Health and a community advisory panel with local residents as members. Lord said there was a similar seeping situation in 2002.

Lord is not sure how long it will take to fix the problem since it’s an underground issue.

“It’s hard to say right

now. This is an area we’ll have to remediate for some time to come,” he said.

Burnaby councillor Dan Johnston chairs the city’s environment committee and first heard of the issue a couple of weeks ago via a staff memo. City staff did their own sampling, and they think there’s some kind of piping system that’s broken.

“It’s actually getting into the inlet,” Johnston said. The city forwarded their concerns to the Environment Ministry and asked for some followup action.

“We’re concerned. It’s not acceptable, it’s not acceptable at all,” he said.

“Yes, things happen, but you wonder how long it’s been going on. To me, it shows a little more monitoring on Chevron’s part could be happening.”

Johnston said the issue was serious and the city wants Chevron to clean it up.

“They are a corporate neighbour. They have a role in the community and in the environment, and they have to take that seriously,” he added.

Saving the lake: Bryan Vogler at Burnaby Lake, with some dredging equipment in

the background. He’s pleased with the city’s efforts to revitalize the lake.

Activist pleased with new future for lake Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

The man who brought attention to environmental contamination in Burnaby Lake last fall is very happy about the city’s efforts to save the lake.

Bryan Vogler spoke at a council meeting in October 2009 about VIA Rail’s practice of dumping human waste on the tracks near Burnaby Lake, from the late ’70s until the trains were equipped with retention tanks, a process that began in 1999 and took until 2006.

He also presented a 50-page environmental report to council about the issue.

Vogler actively lobbied the federal minister of transport to put sewage retention tanks on Via Rail long haul cars in the ’90s.

He worked for CN Rail and VIA Rail for more than 30 years.

“I think I did the right thing by keeping on and pursuing it,” Vogler said. “I think the battle’s been won.”

Catherine Kaloutsky, spokesperson for VIA Rail, confirmed raw sewage was dumped on the tracks until the retention tanks were put on the trains.

Vogler, who is a member of the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club, is excited about the lake’s possible recreational future, once the current dredging project is completed.

“The Guides and the Scouts, everybody uses that lake,” Vogler said.

One of the aims of the lake dredging is to make the lanes for the rowing club deeper.

“The lanes will be deep enough that we Lake Page 10

can finally get back to it,” he said. The lake’s long, it is perfect for rowing.”

He hopes children will be able to swim in it someday.

He noted that Trout Lake in Vancouver, connected by a tributary to Burnaby Lake, is clean enough to swim in.

Vogler is working on a Burnaby Lake Heritage Fund to continue preservation efforts, he said.

“It’s a big watershed rich in history,” Vogler wrote in an e-mail. “This has been a worthwhile project for sure.”

Vogler went public about the VIA Rail dumping because he was worried the health problems he was seeing in his co-workers could spread to residents.

“We just didn’t want to see the same diseases and sicknesses that hit the guys in the workshop go out into the public,” Vogler said.

He added that many people, including co-workers, environmentalists and politicians, have helped him in his efforts to raise awareness of the issue.

Vogler thinks the rejuvenation of Burnaby Lake has been worth the combined efforts, he said.

“It is a lovely park,” Vogler said. “It is going to be a really great spot for Burnaby.”

The lake-dredging project is going well, according to Lambert Chu, the City of Burnaby’s director of engineering.The Hazco Environmental Services crew is extending their operational hours, he said.

So far there have been a few hiccups, Chu added, primarily because of debris that has been found in the lake.

The lake is littered with car tires, pop cans and plastic bags, but the real problem has been large sheets of plastic that have clogged the pumps and pipes, he said.

The largest tributary into Burnaby Lake is Still Creek, which runs underground through the Renfrew area of East Vancouver. The creek runs primarily through industrial land and transports a lot of debris and contaminants into Burnaby Lake.

The first goal toward rejuvenating the lake is the removal of sediment through the dredging project, Chu said. This will make the lake deeper, which will improve the temperature and help with the oxygenation of the lake.

“Our primary goal is to protect the ecosystem and create a healthier environment,” Chu said.

Cities prepare for baby boomer retirements Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

The City of Burnaby’s finance director has been promoted to deputy city manager.

Rick Earle’s promotion came after the deputy director of finance, Denise Jorgenson, was officially made director of finance by Burnaby city council.

The promotion was announced soon after the NOW interviewed Burnaby’s director of human resources about civic employees from the baby boomer generation who were choosing to stay on rather than retire.

Earle was not considering official retirement but was looking for new challenges, according to Kim Munro, the city’s human resources director. He will now share the deputy city manager role with Chad Turpin. The second deputy position has been vacant since 2002.

Staffing at the City of Burnaby is holding steady, though that may change in the next two to three years, according to Munro. The city has planning in place, but Munro said that baby boomers at retirement age could be a concern in the future.

agers have retired in recent years, Munro said.

According to Munro, the city should be able to maintain staffing levels despite the large amount of baby boomers in senior positions at city hall.

“It is going to be difficult but not impossible,” she said.

The city has a strong pipeline for preparing and training replacements, Munro added.

“Our backbenchers are very strong,” she said.

The City of Burnaby also has a good reputation as an employer, according to

Staff members who are nearing retirement age talk to the human resources department well in advance of retiring, she added.

But people are delaying retirement, which has made it easier for the city to plan ahead, she added. The loss of skilled employees is always a hardship, though, she said.

“It is a significant loss to the city. We’re losing experienced, skilled, long-term employees.”

Ready, set … Erin Pranzl, along with Tasha and Roman at South Slope Elementary, is gearing up for the Deaf Children’s Society of B.C. Fun Run.

Deaf Children’s Society on the run to help kids Andrew Fleming staff reporter

A local non-profit society dedicated to helping deaf children and their families for over 30 years will be throwing a fundraiser next month for the first time in its history.

The Deaf Children’s Society of B.C. event, which includes a three-kilometre walk and 10-km run, is taking place June 6 at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park.

Although organizers expect it to be a good time, they regret the Fun Run is being held out of necessity rather than simply for the fun of it.

“The fundraising efforts are due in part to cuts to our budget last year by

the Ministry of Children and Family Development,” said the society’s executive director, Janice Springford, in an e-mail.

“Even with budget cuts, we have continued to provide quality service to our deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their families. We just have fewer staff to provide those services and to provide extra services and expanded programs.”

The ministry currently funds three separate agencies that cater to the needs of children with hearing impairments, and the Burnaby charity finds itself receiving less cash after the Surrey-based B.C. Family Hearing Resource Society and the Children’s Hearing and Speech Centre in Vancouver received slightly more.

“Families are free to choose which agency they want to work with, and families have increasingly opted for the other two agencies,” said ministry communications director Kelly Gleeson.

“In early 2009, the contracts were changed so that funding provided to the respective agencies would align better with the number of clients served and service demand.

“So while the total amount of available funding did not change (it remains at $1.4 million – the same as in 20009/10), the amount that each agency receives did change. In the case of the Deaf Children’s Society of B.C., funding was reduced by about $40,000 to just under $400,000 annu-

ally.”

After requests regarding the need for the same level of funding fell on deaf ears, the Deaf Children’s Society, which provides resources to families with deaf and hard-of-hearing children up to age five, decided to take matters into its own hands with the first of what is expected to become an annual fundraising drive.

“We thought it would be a great idea to get out and get some exercise and have an event in a location where our families, clients, friends and supporters can relax and socialize afterwards,” said Springford, who holds two master’s degrees and happens to be deaf herself.

es, you read that right: it’s a preschool reunion. Hillview Parent Participation

Preschool is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an open house and preschool reunion today (Saturday) from 1 to 4 p.m. In the past five decades, the nonprofit preschool has had four teachers and changed locations four times.

“I have every confidence that people will remember where they went to preschool,” said the preschool’s president,

Mariah Battiston, in an email to the NOW. Local MLA Kathy Corrigan and her husband, Burnaby mayor Derek Corrigan, are expected to attend. Most of the preschool’s past teachers will be there, as well as some alumni. (The first teacher passed away, but someone from her family will be there.) There will be entertainment for children,

refreshments and cake.

The preschool is at 4340 Carson St., in the South Burnaby neighbourhood.

Hillview also received an outstanding achievement award from the Council of Parent Participation Preschools in B.C. this year.

Riding for dollars

It’s not your typical fundraiser, but it sounds

like it could be a lot of fun – or completely nauseating.

This Sunday (May 30), five Burnaby students plan to ride the wooden rollercoaster at Playland from 10 a.m. to noon in an attempt to raise $500 (or more) for the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Give Kids the World – groups that help kids with life-threatening illnesses or serious

medical conditions. The students came up with the idea on their own. “(We) believe that children with life-threatening illnesses should be given a chance to fulfil their dreams,” wrote Jessica Chan, one of the participating students. “The rollercoaster marathon is a symbol of endurance by the children who suffer Here and Now Page 15

The students are raising money by collecting pledges, and they plan on having supporters at Playland to cheer them on and maybe go for a ride on the rollercoaster.

walks are free, and you don’t have to pre-register, just show up at the nature house on Piper Avenue, off Winston Street.

Nature tours

Help for Red Cross

It’s time to cozy up to your neighbours: the birds, berries, ferns and flowers of Burnaby Lake. Metro Vancouver is hosting a series of free nature tours on Saturday mornings, from 10:30 to 11 a.m.

A park interpreter will lead the walk and introduce participants to five familiar animals or plants. Each walk has a different focus. Today’s walk (Saturday) is on songbirds.

On Saturday, June 5, the topic is marsh birds, and on Saturday, June 19, it’s invasive species. All of the

The Red Cross paid a visit to Burnaby South Secondary this past week to present a certificate of appreciation for raising thousands of dollars to help earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. In all, teachers and students raised $13,795.91 – that’s the second-highest amount of any school in the province. The first school, John Oliver Secondary in Vancouver, raised $14,000.

students and young professionals is selling T-shirts at Metropolis at Metrotown today (Saturday) to help raise money for the B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The campaign is called Prove Your Potential. It’s a two-fold advocacy project that aims to inspire young people to prove their potential and raise money for the hospital.

“We were all children at one special point in out lives,” said Clement Lam, the campaign’s financial director. “Each and every child has potential and should have the opportunity to so something amazing.”

To pick up a shirt, visit the mall’s main atrium and look for the kiosk on the first floor, in front of Coach and Lush.

For more information on the campaign or future events, check out www.proveyourpotential.ca.

Fun Run: Fundraiser is free for kids continued from page 13

“With the Fun Run, they can support a great organization and get a workout.

Fundraising is a high priority for me, as I want to ensure that we can continue to provide programs and services for deaf and hard-of-hearing children in this province, expand our current services and pro-

vide a broader range of support. “ Interested runners should show up at the riverside park at the bottom of Byrne Road between 9 and 9:30 a.m. to get started. Participants can register in advance at www.deafchildren.bc.ca. Children can participate for free, while the entry fee for adults is $40.

HATS OFF DAY

Hold onto your hats for festival Merchants and residents of the Heights neighbourhood are taking their hats off to the city next weekend for Burnaby’s biggest festival.

More than 50,000 visitors are expected for this year’s Hats Off Day festivities, set for Saturday, June 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Hastings Street closes down to make way for a colourful parade, vintage vehicle show and shine, and a street festival with music, food, prizes and fun for all ages.

A press release notes that the Hats Off Day parade is one of the largest community parades in the Lower Mainland, showcasing local talent.

But that’s only part of the fun.

“Hastings Street comes alive with smells of mouthwatering food, sights of energetic street entertainers and sounds of lively music,” the release says. “This community event boasts a whole day’s worth of fun and activities geared towards children and adults alike.”

Among the highlights this year, the Elwoodettes Marionettes will bring marionette theatre to the festival, and more than a dozen bands and cultural groups will offer music and dance performances.

The show and shine is planned to be bigger than ever, with unique and

vintage vehicles, including a specialty showcase by Happy Honda. There will also be a display by the Trev Deeley Motorcycle Museum.

A street hockey pickup game and merchant promotions are also part of the fun.

Hats Off Day is presented by the Heights Merchants Association and Burnaby Heights community members and is made possible by the City of Burnaby.

For event information, visit the website at www.hatsoffday.com or call 604-294-8899. If you are interested in volunteering, e-mail hatsoff day@burnabyheights.com.

Student job centre now open Andrew Fleming

staff reporter

It’s that time of year once again when many local high school and college students are looking for a summer job.

Finding a temporary summer gig that will help pay the bills became a bit easier on Tuesday after the Burnaby Service Canada Centre for Youth opened its doors for business again.

“Whatever the job – big or small, short- or long-term – we can help you fill it,” said spokesperson Katerina Marta. “In the coming weeks, youth services officers will be contacting local employers and youth to make them aware that our centre is ready to assist them any way we can.”

The facility, located at 4279 Canada Way and open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., is part of

an annual federal initiative to put young people and potential employers together.

Although student job postings are already available online at www. jobbank.gc.ca, not all young job hunters (or even employers) have easy computer access, and the centre will provide a location to post and look for job openings. Staff will also provide assistance with interview advice, workplace safety standards, resumé building and job hunting tips.

“It’s also good for employers who might not be comfortable with the Internet. They’ll just take the job information from them, write it up and post it online,” said communications manager Ron Marshall.

Along with regular full- or parttime employment, the centre also provides a casual labour program where students can give their availability and be notified if something

In the spotlight

suitable comes up.

“Casual labour helps youth obtain more work experience,” said youth services officer Robert Anderson. “If they are busy in the summer travelling or going to school, they can work for a couple of hours or weeks and get a reference from their employers.”

The centre isn’t the only hotspot for young job seekers.

Douglas College also operates a free service of its own for aspiring employees under 30 who don’t even have to be students of the school.

The Cave, located at 202-4250 Kingsway and open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (6 p.m. on Wednesdays), provides a variety of free job search resources including phones, fax, computers, library, newspapers, resumé assistance and case management services. Check out www.cave-employment.com for more information.

Clan pitches perfect ball at nats SFU wins fourth NAIA softball crown in small college swansong Tom Berridge

sports editor

Simon Fraser University scripted a perfect ending to its NAIA affiliation with women’s softball.

The Clan went a perfect 7-0 en route to the program’s fourth-ever small college national women’s softball title, following a 4-3 victory over rival Oklahoma City University Stars in the doubleknockout championship final Thursday.

With the Clan holding on to a one-run lead in the top of the seventh innng, and the tying run on second base, Jessie Harris charged a sharply hit ball through the infield and rifled a one-hopper to catcher Nicola Collicutt, who tagged out the potential gametying runner.

“Very rarely am I relaxed in the outfield, but this time I was relaxed, and I saw the ball the whole way, made the catch and threw it home,” said Harris in an SFU press release. “I’m still in shock, everyone is right now.

This season was about leadership by committee. We are a close-knit group, and we stayed focused, and I can honestly say that everyone contributed to this win today.”

Harris led the Clan with a .420 batting average, nine runs scored and 11 hits in the tournament.

But it was freshman pinch runner Rosie Murphy who scored the game-winning run.

In the sixth inning, the Stars tied the game 3-3 on a sacrifice fly, but SFU came back in the bottom of the frame, when Collicutt got on base with a lead-off single.

Murphy came on to run the bases and was moved to second on a sac bunt by Haley Cicchetti.

Harris then put Murphy in scoring position with a single to centre.

Murphy eventually scored on a passed ball.

“Everyone was a part of this win. No one was zoning out during games. When I came out in between innings, I had freshmen who were doing the books, telling me who was coming up next, what their stats were. We had two freshmen pitchers step up during this tournament. We had a freshman score the winning run. Everyone

It was a scrappy effort.”

In the final, SFU got off to a hot start, scoring three runs in the opening inning.

Harris scored first after Kelsey Haberl of Burnaby hit into a fielder’s choice.

Carly Moir then brought Chrissy Caviglia home on another fielder’s choice.

Burnaby’s Brittany Mayers batted in Moir with the third run on a sac fly.

Myriam Poirier registered the win in relief of starter Jennifer Van Egdom, allowing just two hits in three innings.

SFU made it to its first NAIA national final since 2005 with a 7-6 victory over Oklahoma City University on Tuesday.

The Clan exploded for 11 hits, upsetting its old NAIA rival to advance to the double-knockout national final.

Caviglia led the Clan at the dish, finishing three-for-three with three runs scored and a run batted in.

Leadoff hitter Harris and Stefani Durrant both had multihit games.

Harris had two hits and three runs scored, while Durrant also had a pair of hits and the gamewinning run on a single down the left field line by Caviglia in the bottom of the fifth inning.

“We don’t have any superstars on this team, and we really need it to be one-for-all and all-for-one, and again everyone played their part,” said Renney in an SFU press release. “Our pitchers have done the core work in previous games where they shut down our opponents, and tonight we needed our offence to help out and they stepped it up.”

Durrant and Haberl both registered RBI singles in the opening inning.

In the second, Harris scored on a wild throw and Carly Moir smacked an RBI single by the shortstop to give SFU a 4-1 lead.

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club is putting its best foot forward into B.C. Rugby Elite Youth 7s program this summer.

The Central Valley club will be hosting one of seven new sanctioned seven-aside rugby tournaments in the Pacific Northwest this summer as part of B.C. Rugby’s 7s Series.

Simon Fraser University’s Highland Summer 7s tourney, held in mid-July, is one of two existing tournaments that will be incorporated into the new program.

The initiative is part of a new direction in rugby since the men’s and women’s sevens’ game was added to the list of Olympic sports in the 2016 Games.

B.C. club teams that compete in four or more sanctioned tournaments will accrue points toward crowning a provincial men’s and women’s champion at the completion of the event at the Cowichan 7s in September.

The series kicks off on Vancouver Island with the James Bay Buccaneer 7s on June 12.

Other venues include Brockton Oval in Stanley Park, Bellingham, Washington, Abbotsford, North Vancouver and South Surrey.

B.C. Rugby has also implemented an Elite Youth 7s program geared to youngsters 11 to 16 years of age, who aspire to one day playing the seven-man game at the provincial and national level.

Program funding has enabled B.C. Rugby to retain the services of Shane Thompson, one of Canada’s most decorated international 7s players, as the program’s high-performance coach.

Thompson played in 55 international 7s tournaments before turning his efforts to coaching Canada’s national team.

He will be assisted by highperformance director Doug Tate, a veteran of 44 tournaments, including two 7s World Cups and three Commonwealth Games.

CAREER COACH A powerful question

This article is by Deb Little, Guest Columnist, Wellness Coach and Career Development Advisor.

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? This is a thought provoking question, Deb Little particularly on the career front. Often we get stuck in our limited perspectives of the world and who we are in it. This is because we only see where we are right now, or with limited possibility. We don’t believe in ourselves and our abilities enough to dare to take a chance. What if you CAN have the job of your dreams? Saying this does not suggest that you throw caution to the wind, quit your day job, and go join a rock and roll band if you have only just started guitar lessons. What I am pointing out is your ability to create any opportunity for yourself, when the desire to do it is compelling enough. Feeling compelled will increase your likelihood of success.

How do we know when a career might be compelling? Ah, another great question. An opportunity is compelling when it makes you feel energized and alive. Perhaps being an astronaut is of interest to you. While it is not always possible to jump into a spaceship to be able to try space travel, it is important to look at the underlying experiences that excite you about the job. In the case of space travel, it might be risk taking; adventure; problem solving; or a keen interest in science that stir in your belly. Alternatively, it might be your desire to take the road less travelled; to work in small confined spaces; or the tranquility you feel being far away from it all.

To discover careers that will be compelling to you call 604-434-1177 and ask about the Transitions Program, our government funded (no fee) three-week career exploration program available to anyone who is unemployed or underemployed and eligible to work in Canada.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

May 30 - June 5

Aries March 21 - April 19: Be on your toes Sunday/Monday, respond to higher-ups, be ambitious.

Fun, light romance, optimism, fresh horizons buoy your heart Tuesday/Wednesday! All this hopefulness still brings you to a choice between two people, prospects, actions, just as it has since last October.

But this choice is about to be eradicated (by next week). Something major is about to end. Be gracious about it. You might be anxious about it this Thursday to Saturday, as your energy, charm and self-confidence fall briefly. (Rest, don’t act.) You’re about to be free, cheerful, hopeful, next week into September!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Lie low, rest, contemplate, seek spiritual awareness, be charitable, deal with government, large corporations and institutions.

Fulfil obligations, but don’t volunteer for more. Your solitude will be lightened two ways: 1) it’s sweet; and 2) talkative friends seek you out. Use this quiet period to plan, because next week into September will offer luck in career, business and prestige arenas.

Approach others, co-operate Sunday/Monday: that person could bring you significant benefits, wisdom.

Secrets, sex, big finances fill mid-week. You reach mellow understanding Thursday to Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead feature love, wisdom, logic, higher education, far travel, legal and cultural events. June to September boosts your luck in relationships, opportunities, litigation, contracts, public interfacing and relocation. (These might arise through a conversation, or “casual” friend.)

To increase this luck, seek partnership, go outward, further the desires of others. It’s a mere foretaste of 2011’s luck, unless you were born around Sept. 2326 (in which case it could be major now). You might fear “partnering” or an Aries all June/July – trust your instincts. Love, midweek.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You face several weeks of chores. A Gemini would make a great helper, if you can enlist him/her. Your energy and effectiveness are tops Sunday/Monday, so start projects, tackle “feared” chores. (But sign nothing, nor woo anyone, Sunday.)

Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday – Tuesday better.

Travel, details, reports, communications draw your focus Thursday-Saturday, not importantly. This week is the last of 30 that brought a powerful financial, life-change, research, intimate, mysterious trend. Now doubts arise about what you did, committed to: be calm, good luck will “rescue” you!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Chase money, buy, sell, ask for a pay raise, cultivate new clients, etc. A long, friction-prone period in your domestic, realty and family arenas will turn to harmony by next week onward. Communications, travel and relations with siblings are sweet, affectionate all week, but don’t let affection nudge you into making a promise or a new relationship (or embarking on a trip) Sunday – there’s a hidden trap here. Sunday/Monday are mellow, wise.

Be ambitious Tuesday (especially) and Wednesday.

Popularity, happiness, flirtation, entertainment and bright horizons come Thursday-Saturday!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your hopes rise on a breeze of popularity, wishful thinking, light romantic feelings and just an all-round joy in life! Since last October, you’ve been scowling (and red-faced, physically) more than usual, but next week dissolves this influence, and new friends will flow in! (They flow your way this week, too, especially Tuesday/Wednesday – but “friend” isn’t the word: enemy or intense attraction are more accurate terms.) Tackle chores Sunday/ Monday. Exciting meetings, opportunities mid-week.

Mysteries, intimacy, significant choices/commitments arise Thursday onward: go slow, reject fantasy.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead accent romance, creativity, charming kids, speculation, sports, pleasure and beauty – you’re on a winning streak!

But retreat Sunday/Monday: rest, contemplate, tidy up neglected places and friendships. Your energy and charisma surge upward Tuesday/Wednesday – chase any goal you want, including romance! For seven months you’ve faced impatient opposition from others (or heightened but fractious attraction). This “angry” trend dissolves next week. In June/July, you’ll be exploring or talking about secrets, intimacies, large sums of money. Co-workers remain affectionate.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and clout hit a high note! Charge forth, accomplish, start significant new projects, demand action, ask favours, see and be seen. You’ll impress others! Your money picture looks good, but don’t make decisions/plans nor take action here Sunday, as a subtle trap lurks. You’re still restless, travelprone, but this will ebb next week onward, as will your tendency to be a little forceful in speech and writing. June/July might bring an end to dealings with an Aries. Finances, sex, research Sunday/ Monday. Mellow love mid-week. Be ambitious Thursday onward.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Ambition, prestige, community status, career, dealings with authorities and higher-ups, parents, judges, bosses – these fill the weeks ahead. Sunday/Monday are romantic, creative, kids charm you – but commit to nothing Sunday (a subtle trap lurks). Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday.

You’ll meet both opportunities and opposition Thursday to Saturday – be diplomatic. For seven months sex, intimacy, large finances, investments and lifestyle choices have irked, restricted, frightened you. In June/July you’ll seize these matters with a successful brew of courage and (sexual) magnetism!

Big changes!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The weeks ahead hold mysteries and demand research. Use your interior radar; look for skeletons, solutions and treasures.

Commitment, consequence, intimacy, large finances, lifestyle changes, deep health and depth psychology, occultism, hidden meanings and “eureka” moments will occur. Your logic and intuition will operate smoothly and well, but careful Sunday, when these represent a possible trap. Write reports, notes (or travel) Sunday/ Monday. Take a deep rest Tuesday/Wednesday. Your romantic, creative, risky, winning side emerges Thursday to Saturday. Angry or impatient bosses withdraw soon.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Make no money agreements/commitments Sunday, but do chase the stuff (or buy things) Monday. The weeks ahead hold excitingmeetings,opportunities,relocation,negotiations, dealings with the public – and opposition, perhaps enmity. Marriage and divorce. So much depends on your life thus far, and your nature. Investments, intimacy, lifestyle changes hold a sweet trap Sunday, sweet success Monday. Talk, travel mid-week. Retreat to reorganize home, business foundations, to recuperate Thursday onward. A legal fight might end soon. Be cautious with bosses, judges June/July.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Minor wishes come true Sunday/Monday.June accents your domestic scene,real estate, security, food, diet, mother nature, gardening, nurturing, infants and toddlers. You’ve experienced a streak of freedom or of expanded, hopeful vision this year – now, in June, you need to decide who and what to stick with, and who/what is stale, restricting you. Two things happen in the coming weekend (June 5/6): three months of good money and sensual luck begin; and two months of heightened relationship intensity commence.

Money and love could mingle. You will be very attracted, or angry. Friday gives clues. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
