Burnaby MLA targeted on HST ‘hit list’ Richard T. Lee one of 24 B.C. Liberals named in antitax recall campaign Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Local MLA Richard Lee has made the “HST hit list” – an inventory of 24 MLAs targeted for recall by the Fight HST campaign. The push for recall is the second phase

in the anti-HST campaign under the Recall and Initiative Act, which allows voters to challenge laws and remove MLAs from office. The first part was the anti-HST initiative petition, where canvassers had to collect 10 per cent of signatures in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. Former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm is leading the Fight HST campaign. He said the 24 Liberals were targeted for recall because of the large number of petition signatures collected in their ridings. All those who made the “hit list”

were from ridings where 25 per cent of the electorate signed the anti-HST petition. “We haven’t decided which ones will be recalled first or how many,” Vander Zalm said in a press release. “Our sense is that we will recall one or two at a time, so as not to bring down the government but to pressure them to repeal the HST.” Lee was the only Burnaby MLA who made the list. He won his Burnaby North seat on a thin margin in the last provincial election, and his Brentwood office has been the target of regular anti-HST rallies,

organized by the Burnaby North NDP riding association. Lee said he was not surprised that he was singled out. “Ever since the campaign was going on, I’ve been a target,” he said. “It’s political. Of course the opposition can organize this kind of fight.” Lee has stated he would back the HST, even if the majority of his constituents opposed it, because he believes it’s the right thing to do for the province.

member Blair Lekstrom recently resigned over the tax, Lee pointed out that Lekstrom is not against the HST per se. “But, he’s not too happy with the way it’s (been) rolled out, so it’s not the policy,” Lee said. Lee also cited a recent Fraser Institute report that stated the HST would be positive for low-income families. According to the report, families with incomes between $20,000 and $40,000 in 2011 will see an average tax reduction of $411; families with incomes between $40,000 and $60,000 will see their total tax bill decrease by an average of $159; while families with income between $60,000 and $80,000 will see an average tax reduction of $34. Lee also said the HST is needed for B.C. to stay competitive with other provinces that have already moved towards using harmonized sales taxes. “I’m doing the right thing for the good of the province,” he said, adding the recall hit list will not affect his decision. “When more people understand the HST, the positive impact on our economy, more people will be supporting the HST.” The Fight HST campaign will begin preparations for recalls in November. They need to collect 40 per cent of signatures in any given riding to have that MLA kicked out. In the past 15 years, only one in 20 recall applications was successful – the rest failed because not enough signatures were collected. B.C. is the only province or territory in Canada that has a system for removing elected representatives from office between elections. The Recall and Initiative Act process is separate from the regular legislative process that the HST is subject to, so success with the petition will not trigger a sudden death for the tax. The HST still comes in effect on July 1. For more on this story, visit Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www.burnabynow.com.

Youth jailbreak an ‘isolated incident’ Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

New security protocols are in place at the Burnaby Youth Justice Services Centre after two residents escaped last December, according to the executive director of youth custody services. The two escapees were captured within days of the incident on Dec. 2; an 18-yearold offender on Dec. 5, and a 17-year-old offender on Dec. 8. The Ministry of Children and Family Development’s youth justice branch conducted a review of the incident. The Burnaby NOW learned of the incident from an article in the Times Colonist by Lindsay Kines, who shared a copy of the internal report, obtained through a Freedom of Information Request, with the NOW. The two residents escaped while a supervisor was accompanying another resident to retrieve a jacket. They jumped over a fence into an area containing a storage shed and broke in, 6

stealing a pair of bolt cutters. The pair then used the bolt cutters to cut through the security chain link fence and escape. Attempts to prevent the escape were hampered by a number of security issues, including unclear guidelines about escape attempts, a lack of knowledge about the tools in the shed and a disabled fence motion detector. Staff issued a “Code Red” but, because there had never been an escape attempt before, other staff thought it meant there was “a man down” and went looking for a colleague in distress, according to Barry Lynden, the executive director of B.C.’s youth custody services. “They’d never had an escape before,” Lynden said. “It was a mistake, and we rectified it.” Now, staff members are required to give additional information for a Code Red when issuing one, such as “man down” or “escape in progress, north end of track and field,” according to the internal report.

Trash pickup a problem www.burnabynow.com for narrow laneway Adult Summer Session Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Every garbage day, Ron Bramhoff has to carry his waste toters down a flight of stairs to street level in the 4000-block of Clinton Street. If he wasn’t there to do it, he said, his wife wouldn’t be able to manoeuvre the heavy toters down the steps. Bramhoff has back problems and is worried that if his back goes out, they won’t be able to take out the trash at all, he said. In November Bramhoff collected signatures from his neighbours and sent the petition to the city, along with a letter detailing the problem. The size of the laneway is not wide enough for the new automatic garbage trucks, but the city does have one smaller, semiautomatic truck, which Bramhoff would like to see used in the laneway. But the city has not agreed to do so, Bramhoff said, and is still requiring residents to put their toters in the front. “It seems like they didn’t want to listen to us,” he said, adding he’s worried for older people who might have trouble taking their toters to street level.

Residents cannot leave and said he felt the city was the toters at street level to blaming the residents for fill them, Bramhoff said, the pickup problem. because passersby often fill “Don’t give me an them before garbage day. excuse,” Bramhoff said, Clinton Street has about “If it’s (the semi-automatic 15 properties, with four truck) being used a block on the north side that use away, there’s something staircases to street level. wrong with this.” Residents of the 4000According to Bramhoff, block of his son saw Southwood the semi-autoStreet, on the matic truck “Don’t give me south side, are being used an excuse. … also required to for pickups on take their toters nearby Joffre There’s someto the street.

tiated changes aimed at avoiding similar incidents in future. And the provincial government has committed to immediately begin work on all 19 recommendations in Braidwood’s report released late last week, including establishing (within 12 months) a citizens’ group to investigate serious criminal complaints against police, instead of letting police continue to investigate their own – something that has been requested from many quarters for years.

The first four of the recommendations pertain directly to Canada Border Services Agency’s processing of people entering the country – the agency has been singled out by Braidwood as having done nothing towards correcting any faults that led to Dziekanski’s death – so it is hoped that B.C.’s Attorney General Michael de Jong’s contact with his federal counterpart will have positive results.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Israel’s local ‘cleanup’ brigade Dear Editor:

Re: MP not representing his voters, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, June 12 Israel not only bombs and kills, it has a “cleanup” brigade who follow behind trying to convince us no one died, or if they did – well, “they deserved it.” Mr. Eckardt is a local, loyal member of Israel’s cleanup brigade (June 12 letter). The United Nations documents that Israel’s more than three-year blockade of Gaza is causing the stunted growth of children and the malnourishment of hundreds of thousands of people. But Mr. Eckardt, acting on behalf of the Israeli government, says no one goes hungry.

Mr. Eckardt says the Israeli “boarding party was lightly armed.” This was no “boarding party.” These were Israel’s elite commandos, fully armed with guns and grenades, shooting from helicopters and zodiacs. They killed nine people and injured dozens more. The majority of the murdered passengers were shot multiple times, most often in the head and face, as forensic autopsies proved. None of the victims had any lethal weapon. The boats were in international waters when attacked. The passengers were bringing desperately needed humanitarian aid. Before leaving port, all the cargo and people aboard had been examined by neutral port authorities, according to standard international practice.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Behaviour akin to pirates continued from page 6

What do we call people who seize a vessel in international waters, imprison the passengers, steal all their personal possessions and the cargo? Pirates, I thought. Or is that only when Somalis do it? When Israelis do it, Mr. Eckardt would like us to think they are heavenly angels. “Angels” who have confiscated and refuse to release all the passengers’ cameras and video recordings of how Mr. Eckardt’s “boarding party” actually behaved. It is shameful that our government in Ottawa boasts it is “Israel’s best friend” and, like Mr. Eckardt, proudly serves in Israel’s cleanup brigade. I, for one, am pleased we in Burnaby have a member of Parliament who believes all countries should be held to the same standards and speaks out in defence of international law and human rights.

The building is closed now, and all the community organizations that used to be located there have been displaced to other less satisfactory locations or have simply closed. This is a serious loss for our neighbourhood and one that can’t be replaced. I was told the building was worn out and had become too expensive to maintain, but I am not convinced. True, it is old, but it didn’t seem worn out to me, and I think it could easily have been kept going.

With the right supports and the right economic conditions, it isn’t hard to envision a future in which most Lower Mainland residents live within walking distance of grocery stores, libraries, parks, movie theatres, offices and workshops. If the price of driving is high enough – either through government pricing or through the rising cost of oil – giving up a car or two becomes an attractive option.

An arcology shouldn’t be a multibillion-dollar project forced on a city, but it could be a goal for many communities, or parts of communities, to pursue. The perfect city is a constantly moving target; we’ll never build our way to utopia. But we can build better if we have a utopian goal in mind.

Arcology: Look to utopian goals elevators and possibly an internal tram. So far, no one has built one of these mega-structures, although coming up with plans for them is a favourite project of architecture students. My question is, do we actually need to build an arcology from scratch, or should we simply lump together all those pro-density ideas, give them each a nudge, and let our arcologies grow up over time?

Re: Get the facts on the HST, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, June 12. I would like to respond to what Mrs. Trudy Gordon wrote, in regards to the HST: You are right, some of us do owe it to ourselves to get better acquainted with the real facts on the HST. Ms. Gordon, even if you were correct in saying that the HST will create direct and indirect savings for British Columbia business operators, we would have to be real dreamers to assume that those savings would be passed down to us, the consumers. You say that the savings from the HST will also allow these business operators to invest in new equipment, which will contribute to the growth of their business and allow them to hire more British Columbians. Ms. Gordon, if, with the savings, these

businesses would indeed invest in new equipment, this equipment will be “new automated equipment,” which will produce more with less human touch, resulting in job redundancy. We all know that taxes are necessary in order for the governments of all levels to function, but enough is enough is enough!

Boy’s condition now stable

The six-year-old boy hit by a pickup truck on Tuesday afternoon is now in stable condition. His grandmother, who was crossing Kingsway with him between the intersections at 11th and 12th avenues, is still in critical condition, according to Brenda Gresiuk, a Burnaby RCMP spokesperson. “The boy from Tuesday’s accident has been downgraded to stable condition, thank goodness,” she said. The two were hit by the side of a truck

travelling east as they jaywalked across Kingsway at approximately 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The driver of the pickup stopped about 30 metres from the collision and remained at the scene with his passenger, who had minor injuries from debris. The investigation into the incident has been completed, but Gresiuk did not have information on whether charges would be laid. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Research findings will help in diabetes care Scientists mapped enzyme that converts starch to glucose Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Please pass the salt – and the glucosidase inhibitors? Two Burnaby-based SFU scientists are part of an international research team that has chemically mapped the molecular structure of one of the body’s enzymes that helps convert starch into glucose. The discovery could mean people will be able to better control diet-linked health

problems, like obesity and Type II diabetes, by sprinkling a powdered glucose inhibitor on their food. Chemists Mario Pinto and Sankar Mohan, a PhD student, are among six scientists who have just structurally characterized the human enzyme sucrase-isomaltase (SI), one of four enzymes in the body’s intestinal lining. The enzyme helps break starch down into glucose. “Now we’re in a position to selectively (turn) one (enzyme) off and see what the effect is,” said Pinto. The scientists can do that by introducing another molecule, a glucose inhibitor, based on an ancient herbal remedy from

Sri Lanka. They want to control the level of glucose in the body because high levels can lead to the development of Type II diabetes and obesity. The inhibitor molecule they are using comes from the Salacia reticulata plant, commonly known as Kothala Himbutu in Sri Lanka, Pinto’s home country. “This has been known for centuries for the treatment of Type II diabetes,” Pinto said. “The natives would carve a mug out of the root of the plant and drink the water after it would steep, like a tea.” Pinto credits Mohan with synthesizing the inhibitors. In the future, its use could

be as easy as adding salt to your food. “One day, these inhibitors could be sprinkled on to food in a powder form to control starch digestion,” Pinto said. Because of Mohan’s synthesizing work, scientists can now understand the plant’s active ingredients, how they are working and if they are actually present in herbal extracts, Pinto said. Pinto and Mohan presented their latest research with colleagues in the international starch digestion consortium at a workshop in Vancouver on June 12 and 13, funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Dr. Douglas Macadam Archeologists discover CERTIFIED SPECIALIST IN ORTHODONTICS world’s oldest leather shoe Andrew Fleming staff reporter

An international team of archeologists led by a graduate of Simon Fraser University has made a big step in prehistoric research after discovering the world’s oldest leather shoe in a remote cave in Armenia. “We thought initially that the shoe and other objects were about 600 to 700 years old because they were in such good condition,” said Ron Pinhasi, who is now a professor at University College Cork in Ireland, in a prepared statement. “It was only when the material was dated by two radiocarbon laboratories … that we realized the shoe was older by a few hundred years than the shoes

worn by Ötzi, the Iceman.” The surprisingly wellpreserved 5,500-year-old shoe, roughly a thousand years older than Egypt’s Great Pyramid, is made of a single piece of cow hide shaped to fit the wearer’s foot and even had laces to help keep it in place. It dates back to around 3,500 BC, an era known as the Chalcolithic period. The shoe would today fit a woman with a size 7

foot. Pinhasi said cool and dry temperatures inside the cave found near the Turkish-Iranian border with Armenia resulted in the uncommon level of preservation. Other items found at the site included several containers that held well-preserved wheat, barley and apricots. – with files from The National Post

Autopsy inconclusive for body found in trunk Investigators await toxicology results Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The autopsy of the body found in a car trunk in South Burnaby has not turned up the cause of death, police say. Burnaby RCMP discovered the body of a man in the trunk of an aban-

doned light-coloured Honda in South Burnaby on Saturday. At 3 p.m. on June 19, the RCMP received a report of an abandoned vehicle parked at the west end of a dead-end alley, north of the 4000-block of Dominion Street. While investigating the vehicle, officers opened the trunk and discovered a deceased man thought to

since their introduction, according to a previous interview with Chu. The City of Vancouver, which introduced automatic delivery in 2006, has semi-automatic trucks to access difficult areas as well. The Burnaby NOW reported on a similar pickup problem in the 4500block of Rumble Street on June 9. The engineering department came up with a solution for most of the homes in that block. Council approved the solu-

tion on Monday, June 21. All of the homes except for 4516 Rumble St. will have lane pickup, according to the report presented to council. The one home is not accessible to trucks without damaging the rear fence, according to the report, but the owner can place containers on a neighbouring property for pickup if the neighbour agrees to it. Residents in the 4500block of Neville Street will continue to have their waste picked up from the front street.

be in his mid-20s. The scene was immediately secured, and the integrated homicide investigation team (IHIT) was called to handle the investigation. Investigators, and the B.C. Coroners Service, are waiting for toxicology results that may provide information about a cause of death, according to an RCMP press release. “A lot was learned at

the autopsy, however, the pathologist was not able to provide a conclusive cause of death based on the evidence present. A number of samples have been sent to the lab for analysis, so we will have to wait for those toxicology results,” said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesperson for IHIT, in a press release.

are not releasing the name of the man at this time but may do so at a later date. Investigators are continuing to identify friends and associates of the young man and will be interviewing them to gather information about his background and life. To date, the investigation has not shown any links to gangs, drugs or organized crime involve-

RCMP are calling a vacationing Burnaby man a “Good Samaritan” for helping to save a drowning man from Osoyoos Lake last Monday. David Ehrhardt was relaxing at his campsite in Osoyoos Lake Regional Park at around 6 p.m. June 21 when he heard frantic shouting. Bardomiano Hernandez, a 39year-old Mexican seasonal vineyard worker and inexperienced swimmer, had been escaping the heat in the popular lake when he suddenly found himself in over his head. “We heard lots of noise and at first just thought it was kids playing,” said Ehrhardt. Hernandez had friends with him, but they too were all non-swimmers, and could only call for help. “Then a lady was swimming out, and she was shouting too, so we realized it was something serious.” Melanie Sullivan, 55, of Osoyoos was able to reach the man, who by then was about 45 metres from shore, while Ehrhardt jumped into his boat, and, after snapping his anchor line in his haste, came to the rescue.

Rescued: Paramedics treat a 39-year-old Mexican man who was saved from drowning in Osoyoos Lake by the efforts of three rescuers – including Burnaby’s David Ehrhardt. “He was totally unconscious, but she was able to keep his head out, and I was able to get to him and get him into the boat,” he said. “It all happened so fast, it’s hard to describe. We got him to shore, and we were really fortunate that there was a gentleman who happened to be there who is a fireman.” Matthew Smith, a Calgary firefighter and former B.C. ambulance paramedic, was also at the lake on vacation. He was able to revive the man,

who by then was no longer breathing. Hernandez was then taken away to Oliver’s South Okanagan General Hospital by an ambulance. “The victim was released from the hospital later in the day,” said Sgt. Kurt Lozinski of the RCMP, adding the three “can be attributed to saving this person’s life.” “It was pretty great,” said Ehrhardt, who is still travelling in the southern Interior and spoke with the Burnaby NOW via cellphone. afleming@burnabynow.com

n all-female Vancouverbased hip-hop dance crew is trying to make it to MTV. But first, they have to make it on YouTube. Diamonds in the Rough submitted a video to MTV to win their own reality TV show. To do so, they need to get the most viewers and followers on YouTube and Twitter before June 28. One contestant, Jane Marlinga, is from Burnaby. The group has performed all over North America and got good feedback in Los Angeles and Seattle, according to an e-mail from member Darylle Johnson. “By being one of the strongest all-female hip hop crews in Vancouver, we are promoting femininity and strength to dancers and women,” she wrote. “We’ve proven that although Vancouver has a smaller community than some places, it has unreal talent and drive, and really makes anything possible.” The group tripled its fan base since entering the contest, she added. The MTV reality show would give the women in the group a chance to share their talents with a broader audience. “It gives us, Diamonds in the Rough, the chance to finally showcase who we are and what we’ve worked so hard to create and maintain,” Johnson wrote. To see the Diamonds online, go to YouTube.com and search for The Diamond Life – MTV Casting Call. Follow them on Twitter @ DiamondsVancity.

One reveller from this year’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival will be revving his or her engine long after the music has ceased. Trev Deeley Motorcycles, a first-time sponsor, is giving away a black HarleyDavidson Sportster 1200 Nightster to one lucky ticket holder. The motorcycle is worth about $12,500. The bike appeals to a variety of different people, both male and female, according to Trev Deeley’s marketing manager. “It depends on what dreams or needs they’ve got,” Guy Wilton said. It has gotten a good response from women who want to ride on their own, he said. “They ride their own bike instead of being on the back or watching from a street curb,” he said. “It helps overcome some of the myths (about who rides motorcycles).” The company had a booth at the festival last year and decided to get more involved in 2010. “It was a great experience for us,” Wilton said. “It was a lot of fun; the music was

great and the weather was good.” Trev Deeley will have a booth at this year’s festival as well, showcasing some of the Harley-Davidson product line, he said. Wilton is looking forward to being at the festival again this year, particularly to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd play, he added. The motorcycle giveaway includes a $500 gift certificate from Chevron. The company has sponsored the festival for 11 years. “We’ve seen it evolve to the success it has become,” said Ray Lord, spokesperson for Chevron. “It has a reputation throughout the Lower Mainland as a signature festival event.” Chevron will host a comfort zone again this year, with shade and a misting tent. There will also be fun giveaways, according to Lord, though he said the nature of the giveaways is a closely guarded secret. “We always have some surprises.” The $500 gas card that accompanies the motorcycle will help the winner get started, he said. “If you have a motorcycle, you need something to make it go,” Lord said. Contestants must be B.C. residents and need to deposit concert ticket stubs in the prize barrel at the Trev Deeley booth on the day of the concert. The winner must be on hand to receive their prize when it is announced between

6 and 9 p.m. Taj Mahal, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Serena Ryder, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Colin Linden and Little Miss Higgins will be playing the festival. The winner of Shore FM’s Sounds of Summer Contest will also play the festival, according to Geraldine Parent, arts services manager for the city. The Sounds of Summer Song Search is a songwriting contest open to all Canadian artists living in B.C. The list of 10 finalists will be announced July 1. The fan-voting portion of the contest takes place after that. The winner will also perform at Whistler’s Music on the Mountain festival. There were a number of additions made for the 10th anniversary festival that are returning this year, such as the artisan’s market, Parent said. Last year, between 5,000 and 6,000 people attended the anniversary festival. Parent is hoping for more to attend this year. “We hope to exceed that,” she said. “We’re always hoping for a full site.” The 11th annual Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival will be held at the newly renovated Deer Lake Park on Saturday, Aug. 14, starting at 12:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at www.burnabyblues festival.com. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Ventriloquist heads to U.S. Burnaby’s Neale Bacon will be passing on his ventriloquism skills to the next generation at the upcoming 34th annual International Ventriloquists’ ConVENTion in Kentucky in July. Nearly 400 ventriloquists from a dozen countries are expected to attend the convention, which will include workshops, discussions, performances and junior and senior open mike sessions. A special session for youngsters, called Junior Vent University, is on the

agenda – and one of the teachers will be Bacon. “I have been doing vent since I was 13, and I know how hard it is to find someone to help when you are learning,” Bacon said in a press release. “Later I was fortunate enough to learn a lot from the late Peter Rolston, who was a local ventriloquist. Peter was a big believer in passing the torch, and so am I.” Last year, Bacon represented Canada in the international show at the convention, and he performed with ventriloquists from

There are two training choirs for ages seven to nine, and 10 years old and up. Those over 10 participate in a weekend rehearsal camp. The Town and Tour Choir is for ages 12 to young adulthood. Members sing in three to six parts and perform and travel locally, nationally and internationally. The next tour, to take place in Canada, will be in 2011. “We’re looking for girls who are into singing,” said Lynn van Zanten, choir administrator. The choir had about 78 members this last year but has had up to 100 in previous years, she said. The choir will also be starting SongClub this fall. It is a non-auditioned choir for elementary students from grades 2 to 7, according to van Zanten. She will be taking names for the club over the summer.

CANADA DAY!

Canada Day fun on offer at Burnaby Village

If you are feeling patriotic on July 1, Burnaby Village Museum is the place to be to celebrate Canada Day. Museum staff are bracing for thousands of people to show up for the annual festivities. “Our normal crowd is between 5,000 to 10,000. Last year we had over 13,000,” said Nancy Stagg, the museum’s marketing coordinator. “If you want to spend the day, you can. A lot of families bring picnics,” Stagg said. For entertainment, there will be juggler, comedian and musician Marc-Andre Lafleur, musical duo Celticalia, French-Canadian dance troupe Traditions, Peruvian musician Rene Hugo Sanchez and bagpiper Joseph McDonald. There will also be RCMP officers in red serge available for photo opportunities, a parade, sword demonstrations, vaudeville, and art instructors from the Burnaby Art Gallery. Children can keep busy with heritage games, face painting and the traditional cake, which will be served at 2:30 p.m. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and it’s all free except for the carousel rides. The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. For a full schedule of the day’s events, visit Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www.burnabynow.com.

Kids Biz! Reconnect your kids with nature this summer

ildlife Rescue Association of BC WRA provides leadership in rehabilitating wildlife and in promoting the welfare of wild animals in the urban environment. We care for around 3000 injured, orphaned, and pollutiondamaged animals each year, and have been rescuing wildlife from the Lower Mainland and beyond since 1979. WRA also educates the public through our wildlife hotline, informative displays, annual Earth Fest event, and education programs. This year, WRA will be running camps that aim to reconnect children with nature and encourage a new generation of environmental stewards. These camps give children the opportunity to learn about Lower Mainland wildlife by exploring the wilds of Burnaby Lake through a bird’s, bug’s or beaver’s eye view! There will be mammal

to do if they come across an injured or orphaned wild animal. The Summer Nature Camps are individual theme days running Tuesdays (6-8 year-olds) and Thursdays (9-12 year-olds) in July and August from 9 am to 3 pm. Themes include: A Day ...continueed on page 27

as a bird feeder, bird house, bee box or other item that helps our wild friends. Through these camps, WRA is encouraging children to look closer at nature, hopefully inspiring individuals to care for our parks and the plants and animals within them. The camps not only educate the public, but

resulting donations also help to keep our organization running — each year around 80% of our funding comes from individual gifts and donations. For more information about our programs and to register, please visit www.wildliferescue.ca or call 604-526-2747.

A gift that changed a life In 1939, 15 year old Betty entered a world full of trees, lakes and bonfires. Sponsored by a woman who her mother worked for, Betty spent three summers at camp where she learned many of the life skills that contributed to her development into the confident and independent woman she is today. She later became a camp leader and a camp director. Betty donates annually to the Burnaby Camping Bureau, helping children from families with low income to have a life changing experience at summer camp. Burnaby Camping Bureau provides subsidies to Burnaby children from families with low-income to attend to camp. Each child receives up to $175 towards the cost of a summer camp of their choice. For more information, to register or donate, please call the Burnaby Camping Bureau today!

Renovate your space with clean, fresh, easy-tomaintain wood ﬂooring. The room will be brighter, more elegant and easily customizable with a gorgeous throw rug, or a custom stain job. Kitchen Face-Lift: According to the DIY Network, kitchen renovations are one of the best ways to add value to a home. To keep the project from becoming overwhelming, take it one step at a time. Brad recommends starting with the kitchen island. “The kitchen island is often the visual focus of the room in which family members

gather. Change the look of the island with some decorative pine beadboard paneling and you’ll love the whole new look it gives the room!” Clean up the Bathroom: Why neglect the one room in your house everyone will see? Create a fun, whimsical rest stop by decorating following a theme: Create a beach bathroom by installing beadboard paneling at chair-rail level, then topping off the look with whitewashed wooden shelves displaying favorite seashells and driftwood. Feeling creative? Use pine

moulding, painted a cool, beachy color, to frame out the wall mirror. Dine in Style: Often the most formal room in the home, try this easy project to add another layer of style to the dining room -- picture frame moulding. Just below the chair rail, install -round moulding pieces, cut to create a square or rectangle on the wall. Paint the frames an accent color, and get ready for the compliments to roll in! A fun ofﬁce? There’s no need for a home ofﬁce to be as serious as a cube; create an environment

designed to nurture and encourage good work habits. Customize the ofﬁce with well-loved touches: photos lining the walls and trophies and other memorabilia originally displayed. Use the entire room to get the job done. Install diagonal wood paneling, stained a warm, natural color, and accent it with a huge corkboard full of pins to hold your important papers. Brad installed wood paneling in his home ofﬁce, and he’s never looked back. “The warmth and beauty of the wood creates a

Local woman graduates – 27 years later

BCIT student gets certificate decades after studies end Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Kathie Angelo has been busy. After meeting her husband, BCIT instructor Mark Angelo, at the institution and marrying him in 1978, she went on to complete the administrative management program in 1983. But she never received her certificate, because she was pregnant with her second child, and did not cross the stage to graduate. “I always felt this niggling regret,” Angelo said. All that changed on Wednesday. At a convocation ceremony MC’d by one of her daughters, Kelly Friday, Angelo finally got her certificate. “It was just so over-

whelming for me,” Angelo said.“Everybodyembraced me. They seemed so proud of what I was doing.” The British Columbia Institute of Technology figures prominently in Angelo’s family tree. Her husband, Mark, is chair of the Rivers Institute at BCIT and has been involved with the school for 35 years. Friday, Angelo’s daughter, is BCIT’s media relations manager. “BCIT is like family to me,” Angelo said. Her other daughter, Lindsay Angelo, and twin sister, Jackie Rosser, were also on hand to celebrate the momentous occasion. Angelo started working as assistant to the president, Gordon Thom, in 1974. She left the job in 1983 to raise her children and worked at another company from 1998 until 2006. She is now retired and enjoying it.

“I’m gardening, travelling, doing all the fun things retired people do,” she said. Students at BCIT graduated with some very prestigious people this year. Jack Munro, Peter Legge, John Furlong, Peter Robinson and Dr. Arun Garg all received honorary doctorates of technology from the post-secondary institution during its convocation ceremonies earlier this week. Munro is chair of the labour heritage project, which honours the workers of B.C. He was the national president of Industrial, Wood and Allied Workers of Canada. Munro has been awarded the Order of Canada and received a Jubilee Medal from Queen Elizabeth II. Legge is the chair and CEO of Canada Wide Media Limited, an independently owned magazine publishing company.

Finally: Kathie Angelo gets her BCIT certificate at the convocation ceremonies on June 23. The Angelo family has close ties to the institution.

In 2008, he received the Order of British Columbia. Furlong was the leader of the organizing team for the Vancouver 2010

ord’s unique Flex crossover was designed to be an alternative to the traditional minivan, combining seven-passenger convenience and a retro-cool exterior to create a stylish and functional people mover. Expectations were

huge when it arrived in 2008, and Ford went so afar as to suggest that the Flex would have the impact of the 1986 Taurus, a revolutionary car that completely changed the way we looked at mid-size sedans. Two years later, that’s hardly the case. As Ford ramped up for the Flex’s 2008 introduction, the

MOTORING Flex: Hit by economic slump continued from page 33

launched even a few months sooner, the Flex might have had enough market traction to guarantee initial success. The Flex is, quite simply, not a car that everyone in North America could see themselves owning, and for that reason it never had the potential of the old Taurus. The economic downturn certainly didn’t help, but even without it, Ford may have set

the bar too high in the first place. Still, while it’s not the car for everyone, the Flex is well-regarded in the automotive world – especially with the introduction of Ford’s EcoBoost engine technology for 2010. Owners love their Flexes, appreciating its useful interior space, topnotch safety ratings, and eye-catching design. Sales might not be what Ford

had hoped, but the Flex is exactly what they were trying to deliver. Fault lies with the expectations, not the vehicle.

Performance

A 3.5 L V6 with 262hp and 248 lb-ft of torque serves as the base engine; it gets the car moving but not a whole lot more. For those desiring brisker acceleration, the new, turbocharged, EcoBoost 3.5L V6 produces 355-hp

and 350 lb-ft of torque – that’s 35 per cent more horsepower and 40 per cent more torque than the base V6. Both engines are attached to six-speed automatic transmissions, and all-wheel drive is optional for the base V6. EcoBoost models gain steering-mounted paddle shifters that are really unnecessary. Even with the high-powered engine, the Flex is not a performance vehicle.

he lazy-hazy days of summer are supposed to be coming, and with them perhaps holidays, or time to look at some special books. Here’s some, just to enjoy – or, if you are a gardener or traveller, to inspire you to new projects or destinations. The Shores We Call Home – The Art of Carol Evans (Harbour Publishing Co. Ltd.): The author’s parents lived in Burnaby, and Evans lived here herself for a time, but this is a book about her love affair with B.C.’s coasts, oceans and waters. After taking some art courses, she decided to live by her art, painting six months a year, then waitressing six months. She had shows and sales, building up her reputation, and now she can live by her talent. Arthur Black calls her art “pure West Coast.” This is her third book, with fullpage illustrations of her works that are so clear and evocative you can almost hear the soft surf, the lapping of the water against the hulls of canoes, and the calling of the gulls.

The Ultimate Student Cookbook: From Chicken to Chili, by Tiffany Goodall, (Firefly Books): This could be called the ultimate “student of cooking” book, as the easy recipes and step-by step illustrative photographs would be invaluable to anyone embarking on cooking for themselves or others. Simple ingredients and explanations of spices and herbs remove any mystery or stumbling blocks.

Home ice: Burnaby’s Joe Sakic could be returning to the Colorado Avalanche.

Burnaby Joe to rejoin Avs? Andrew Fleming staff reporter

Although former Burnabyite and future NHL Hall of Famer Joe Sakic finally hung up his skates last year, his days with the Colorado Avalanche might not be over after all. The Denver Post reported recently that Sakic is hoping to break into the front office of the team he led to two Stanley Cups and is in talks with general manager Greg Sherman to figure out what type of role might be a good fit for the Avs’ former captain and all-time leading scorer. “You can’t just jump

in and start at the top,” said Sakic. “I would go in knowing I’d have to learn all parts of the business for a few years.” Sakic has spent the past year since retiring coaching his sons’ hockey teams part-time but says he has no interest in coaching in the big leagues. “I definitely don’t want that. That’s a major commitment, a real grind, and I did that for 20 years, being away from my family all the time,” Sakic said. Sakic, 41, was famous for his strong work ethic as much as his dangerous wrist shot, and it’s not hard to imagine he would bring

the same to a desk job. “It’s something I wouldn’t just think of as a part-time thing or whatever. If I do it, I want to do it in the right way.” Sakic is expected to meet with Sherman after this weekend’s NHL draft.

Game goes back in time Local Heroes sought Series will be based on the Back to Future trilogy, starring local actor Michael J. Fox Andrew Fleming staff reporter

It’s been 25 years since local actor Michael J. Fox starred in Back to the Future, nearly as far back in time as Marty McFly himself had to go in order to help his parents hook up (not to mention invent rock ‘n’ roll) in the first instalment of the popular film trilogy. A lot has changed since 1985, video games included, which moved from seedy arcades and family rec rooms to become a respectable global industry and bona fide rival to Hollywood blockbusters for consumers’ entertainment dollars. Telltale Games, a leading developer of

episodic interactive games (Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island), announced last week a new deal with Universal Films to create a series of new games based on the film franchise starring the former Burnabyite. “Our partnership with Universal is an exciting next step in our continued growth as a mass-market games publisher and developer,” said Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale Games. “I wouldn’t call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation for a new medium.” Gamers can expect new time-travelling storylines rather than simply reliving movie moments. The first “season,” available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC and Mac, is set to be released in time for Christmas. afleming@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is accepting nominations for its 2010 Local Heroes program. Anyone who knows of someone who made an exceptional contribution to community well-being in Burnaby should contact the city for a nomination form. Local Heroes are volunteers of any age group or background. The city will give priority to nominees who have contributed to the community for a minimum of five years through at least two

activities. Nominees may have volunteered for a local agency or community school, coached a local sports team, or helped recent immigrants settle into the community. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, June 30. For more information, please call 604294-7290, or go to www.city.burnaby. bc.ca and scroll down for a nomination form.

Moscrop’s 2010 brothers in sport

SFU Coach wins fourth NAIA honour

The two brother pairs have no other siblings Tom Berridge sports editor

It was a brother’s act at Moscrop Secondary School’s year end sports awards. Two separate sets of siblings walked off with individual grade athlete of the year honours this month. Graduating senior Kyle Chin was named the school’s top boy athlete for a second consecutive time, sharing the Grade 12 honour this year with David Alba. His younger brother, Brandon Chin, was named the junior athlete of the year along with schoolmate Jordan Pink. Not to be outdone, the Malcolm brothers, Rafael and Ethan, locked up Moscrop’s Grade 11 and 8 boys’ athlete of year awards, respectively. The awards were the first for both Rafael and Ethan. “It’s pretty cool,” said Brandon, who has been named his school’s top athlete every year since graduating from Cascade Heights elementary school in 2007. “You have a brother and you both win it. It’s kind of like sharing the award, rather than one who has it and the other doesn’t. It makes me feel like we both have it.” Besides having an award in common, all four boys played on the same senior boys’ rugby

But in the spring, I went out on the same team as these guys,” said 13-year-old Ethan, who played on the wing. “There was a lot more hitting and contact on the senior team. I liked that, I guess. It was more fun than the Grade

8 team. The pace on the senior team was way faster.” Rafael played in the forwards at eighth man for the Moscrop Panthers rugby team. Brandon and Kyle played in the backfield, the younger Chin brother at the inside position and the elder at outside centre. Kyle received his sports award for his overall prowess in football, rugby, soccer and volleyball. He helped Moscrop

win a Burnaby/New Westminster high school district rugby banner as a bantam and again as a junior. He also shared a district title in volleyball in grades 8 and 9, while winning a Vancouver and District championship in Grade 10. Brandon’s sports are basketball, volleyball and rugby. He won a district and V&D title in volleyball in his first year of high school. His bantam team

also placed runner-up in district basketball. Rafael enjoyed football, soccer, middle distance running in track and field, and rugby, winning a district banner in the latter as a junior. He also placed third in the boys’ 1,500 metres at the Grade 9 provincial track meet at Swangard Stadium. Ethan joined school basketball, rugby, track and Athletes Page 54

Simon Fraser University head coach Mike Renney was named the 2010 NAIA softball coach of the year on Friday, following the Clan’s recent fourth alltime national small college championships. Renney guided the Clan to its career fourth NAIA national banner with a 43 victory over Oklahoma City University at Wilson Morgan Softball Complex in Decatur, Alabama on May 26. Renney had won the top coaching honours on three previous occasions, including 1999, 2003 and 2005. He has led the varsity Clan women’s program since 1995. During his tenure as head coach on Burnaby Mountain, Renney has led the SFU program to 14 appearances at the national championships, advancing to the title game seven times. Four of his players have garnered the NAIA championship’s most valuable player award. Two others have been named the NAIA player of the year and NAIA pitcher of the year. Renney’s career coaching record at SFU stands at 475-162, a .746 win percentage, in 16 seasons. The Clan softball program will be joining the NCAA Division II Great Northwest Athletic Conference in September.

His 20 RBI is also sixth best in the league. In junior Premier ball, Taylor Lawrence scored the 2-1 go-ahead run for the Coquitlam Redlegs in the second inning in an eventual 6-3 win over the Victoria Mariners on Sunday.

Obituaries

(Chankovich)

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Sophie on Monday, June 21st, 2010 after 90 wonderful years. Sophie was born in Princeton, B.C., resided in Vancouver, then Burnaby. She was predeceased by her husband Lloyd, parents Peter and Milien and her siblings. She will be remembered by her daughter Pamela McCready, grandchildren Bryan (Beryl), Lauren (David) Sheldon, and great grandchildren Alessandra and Madeline. She will also be remembered by niece Evelyn, Alex and the McCready family, many friends in Burnaby and Seton Villa. Her passing cannot take away the loving memories of a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend. Sophie enjoyed people and her infectious laugh and smiling eyes lit up any situation. She was never afraid to speak her mind. She faced life on her terms with enthusiasm, humour, and determination even when presented with difficult challenges. Sophie loved the B.C. Lions and was an original season ticket holder. She loved baking and her cheesecake, pies, and tarts will be missed. She spent many hours volunteering for Meals-On-Wheels, the Seton Villa Store, and Confederation Park. Until her eyesight deteriorated, she was an avid lawn bowler and card player. The family would like to thank the staff at Burnaby Hospital, Seton Villa, and Dr. Appleby for their kindness in making Sophie’s final years less difficult. At Sophie’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC would be appreciated.

KORMANAK, Milan

(nee Ross)

Verna passed away peacefully June 19, 2010, age 92. Predeceased by her loving husband John, she is survived by her children, Roxsane Tiernan, Betty Toporowski, John Harper Jr., Sally Gibbeson, Ross Harper, Edward Harper and Grace Loftus. She also leaves 15 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. Verna had a long and love filled life. Born in Winnipeg, she moved to Calgary where she attended high school and met her future husband. In 1937 her family moved to Vancouver and husband-tobe, John soon followed. They married in 1939 and shortly thereafter John went off to war and six long years of separation. Home again, the family grew. Verna and John settled in North Delta where they raised their children and operated a small nursery. When North Delta became residential they moved to Cloverdale and developed an experimental vineyard which tested more than 1000 varieties of grapes to determine their suitability for growing in BC’s climate. When Cloverdale became residential they moved to Cobble Hill and developed two of the earliest vineyards and wineries on Vancouver Island. Verna and John were true pioneers in BC’s viticulture and winery industry. They supplied the original vines for many of BC’s best known vineyards and were unstinting in the help, knowledge and encouragement they provided to anyone interested in viticulture and wine. Verna will be missed and fondly remembered. A special thanks to the staff at Kiwanis Care Centre for all their gentle care. A memorial service will be held at 2:00PM on June 29, 2010 at Columbia-Bowell Funeral Chapel, 219 Sixth Street, New Westminster. No flowers by request. Donations to Kiwanis Care Centre would be appreciated. Their address is 35 Clute St. New Westminster, BC V3L1Z5 Columbia-Bowell Chapel • 604-521-4881

Summer Job Search Myths – Part 1

Summer officially started this week, but that doesn’t mean you should put your job hunt on hold until September. This week I will debunk the most common summer job search myths – you can read part 2 of this article next week. Gregg Taylor MYTH #1: No one hires in the summer. This is true for some businesses, but others will hire in summer due to “use it or lose it” budgeting. Many companies have an August 31st year-end, and will hire to meet their budget spending deadline rather than risk next year’s budget being cut or reduced. Also, summer doesn’t stop normal business conduct; people will take vacations but work still has to be done! MYTH #2: Since nothing happens during the summer, you might as well head out of town for vacation. Since many people think this way, you can take advantage of reduced competition for jobs that are available by being in town. MYTH #3: You won’t find the job you really want in the summer, just part-time student type jobs. Companies recovering from the recession can’t afford to postpone hiring just because it’s summer. When the alternative is reduced productivity or losing a contract, employers will hire whenever they need to, at any time of year for a variety of positions. Do you want to spend part of this summer discovering career options that are right for you? Call 604-681-2774 and ask about the Transitions Program, our government funded (no fee) three-week career exploration program available to anyone who is unemployed or under employed and eligible to work in Canada.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Be ambitious Sunday. Information is coming (or being suppressed) from places it usually doesn’t. Friendships and optimism perk you up Monday to Wednesday – this relieves the general sluggishness you’re steeped in. (It’s a good sluggishness; you’re in a month-long natural hibernation cycle, designed to heal some overstrained parts of your health/emotions.) Use these three days to view the future, and make subsequent decisions about who/what to nurture, and who/what to chuck in your life. Rest, retreat Thursday/Friday. Don’t butt your head against an invisible brick wall Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, seek favours, make personal appearances. (E.g., if seeking a job, show at the door, or phone, rather than sending a resume.) Your communications skills are sharp and career-oriented right now. Your money picture remains good. You could purchase a small luxury item. This inﬂuence helps career, too – angle for a pay raise. Sunday’s for relationships. Life’s deeper side rises to the surface Monday to Wednesday: research, invest, commit to a lifestyle change, become intimate – all’s good. Gentle joy Thursday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: My superﬁcial advice is: be ambitious this week and the next few; it’s your time to strike. However, a “karmic hangover” affects this area through July 3. You might be wise to wait until Saturday onward to act. A different approach, situation, idea, project, might arrive July 3 onward, while those that draw you prior to this day might be subtle traps, involve suspect motives, or simply promise more than they will deliver. (Remember, through March 5, 2011 don’t push higher-ups, bosses, judges, etc.) Rely on your “inner antennae” more than my advice. Romantic vibes Monday to Wednesday!

Taurus April 20-May 20: The accent lies on communications,travel,siblings,casualacquaintances. You’re busy, but the stakes aren’t high, and you handle everything easily. One pretty important communication might exist early week – perhaps having a legal or love import. Sunday’s mellow, compassionate, good for gentle love, intellectual friends or foreign culture. Be ambitious Monday to Wednesday – all’s good! Friends, ﬂirtations, optimism, happiness brighten Wednesday night to Thursday/Friday. But retreat Saturday – nothing good will come of certain associates, gossip, etc. Read an atlas!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan your future. Be charitable, seek spiritual regeneration. Deal with governments, institutions, head ofﬁces, and “red tape.” Tackle a few chores Sunday. Early week might bring a few secrets, or an interesting nugget of information in a book, newspaper, etc. Relationships come front and centre Monday to Wednesday — be diplomatic, your position is not strong. Life’s secret ways open up Wednesday eve to Friday: investments, debt, sexual urges, research, dreams. Your hunches are accurate, results good. Don’t express your opinion Saturday, despite enthusiasm.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: An intellectual, legal, cultural, educational, publishing, far travel and gentle love trend floats into your life through the weeks ahead. Delay real action in any of these spheres until July 4 onward – subtle “wrong doorways” exist. Still, you’ll be happy, you’ll enjoy the mellow affection of this week! Sunday’s for talk, travel, news. You might learn something significant early week – a tidbit in talk, or a way of looking – that changes your outlook, philosophy. Rest Monday-Wednesday. This last night to Friday bring romance, creative and pleasure urges – all fine! Caution Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: This week and the next few emphasize money, earnings, the price of things, possessions, memory, rote learning and, possibly, a sensual interlude. Early week, you might sense/know that these things are either tied to, or oppose, their deeper side (investments,family ﬁnances,inheritance, deeply consequential sex, etc.) For example, the amount you can invest is tied to earnings. In general (except Sunday) it’s better to focus on the light side, earnings, light sex, etc. Intellectual success, gentle love hover Monday-Wednesday. Be ambitious Thursday (very!) and Friday. Saturday’s hopeful.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: You will enjoy this week and the next few – friends, popularity, optimism, entertainment, light romance and happiness buoy your days! Your sexual magnetism intensifies through July. (Already has, since June 6.) Your determination grows to cause some significant change in your life. This would be very natural – go ahead. Sunday’s romantic, creative – seek pleasure. Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday; you’ll accomplish them. Relationship excitement enters Wednesday night to Friday. Be diplomatic – but eager! Caution Saturday: an attraction, financial situation, has problems.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This week and the next few, the accent lies on life changes, sexual urges, investments and debt, secrets, research, dreams. Your subconscious rises to the surface. Hunches are accurate. But don’t act on any of these in a major way before July 4 – especially be careful with ﬁnances and intimate commitments. Before then, a subtle trap exists which you might not “wake to” for months, years. Spend – carefully – Sunday. Friends, talk, errands Monday to Wednesday. Secrets, data, are everywhere! Home draws, and is a good place, Thursday/Friday. Romance needs caution Saturday.

June 27 - July 3 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Although relationships ﬁll the weeks ahead, and will generally be fruitful, productive and pleasing, be cautious about forming long-standing, consequential links. That applies to March 5, 2011, but especially this week. Early week, you might meet a talkative person, perhaps someone who could/would be a mate or an employee or coworker. You might be “signing on” for a situation that turns dull, draws you into wrong choices, or simply doesn’t fulﬁl its promise. All June/July, avoid a lawsuit, especially over property or children. Chase money Monday-Wednesday. Make friends Thursday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Tackle chores all week, and to late July. (Well, maybe take a rest Sunday — and don’t tackle anything frenetically Saturday, July 3.) You’ll get a lot done, which will free you for the opportunities of August. Make sure you focus your efforts on the right tasks – tackle what’s outstanding, but don’t create new work projects. Your energy and effectiveness rises nicely Monday to Wednesday — wink at someone! Chase money or shop Thursday (better) and Friday. Friends don’t tell all Saturday. Your sexual magnetism is high all June/July – interesting “situations” arise. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This week offers romance, pleasure, creative surges, passion about anything, charming kids, nature’s beauty – enjoy these, but don’t let them lead you into major lifeaffecting actions (especially this week, but generally to March, 2011). However, a subtle trap might lurk. E.g., romance could lead to a love affair that turns your life in the wrong direction. Sunday’s for fun, though it might turn profound if you meet a Virgo. Depths, mysteries, investments/debt, life changes Monday-Wednesday – dive in, all’s fine. Your energy, charisma soar Thursday/Friday – impress someone! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

The Burnaby Tennis Club is hosting the second largest competition in the province, beginning this week. The 10-day tournament kicked off, with more than 400 entries this year, on Friday, June 25 and will run to Sunday, July 4. The Burnaby Open is second in size to only the Stanley Park Open, which is now in its 79th year. The Vancouver tournament will take place from July 10 to 25. This year’s tourney at the Burnaby club on Kensington Avenue and Sprott Street, the fourth in Tennis B.C.’s summer series, will be highlighted by provincial men’s No. 1 player Henry Choi, who has already won the first three stops on the circuit in

been added for the first time in the 20-year-old event. Junior play will include boys’ and girls’ 18-andunder and 14-and-under divisions. On the final weekend, Tennis B.C. will also be holding the Miele-sponsored league provincial championships for 3.5 rated men. The winners will then continue on to the national challenge championships to be held in conjunction with the Rogers Cup open tennis championships in Toronto in August.

Wheelchair rules will apply for the wheelchair player, while regular rules will be applied to the ablebodied player.

SUMMER SWIMMING

Mantas medal in Simon Fraser region meet opener in Coquitlam Kelsey Lee was a busy swimmer for the Burnaby Mountain club at the recent Coquitlam Sharks meet. Lee medalled in six Division 6 races, including first place in the 100metre butterfly and breaststroke, and 200m individual

medley. She also placed runnerup in the 50m freestyle, while placing third in the 50m fly and 100m free. Bonnie He also posted good results in the girls’ Div. 6. He won the 100m free and backstroke and placed second in the 50m fly.

third-place finishes in the 50m fly and 100-m free. Vincent Chung won the 50m fly in Div. 6. Chung also was runner-up in both the 50m free and 100m fly. Philip He was a secondplace finisher in the Div. 3 boys’ 50m breast. He was third at the

field and cross-country teams at Moscrop. “As I got to Grade 4 and 5, I began to enjoy some of the same sports as (Rafael) did, and we just started doing those sports together,” Ethan said. “If I didn’t have an older brother, I probably wouldn’t have joined rugby in the first place.” All the boys agree, that they get on better as brothers as they age. Coincidently, both sets of siblings have no sisters and no other brothers. “We get along for the most part, I guess. We used to fight a lot,” said Kyle, who is planning to attend Capilano University in the fall with a major in business. “But he’s passed me by now. He keeps up the success. I guess I’m kind of proud.” Brandon says, Kyle has helped teach him better technique in various sports. “It’s good to have an older brother,” Brandon said. The Malcolms also enjoy their time together, playing hockey outside of school, whether it is at the local rink or just street shinty. They have also joined the youth sevens rugby program at Burnaby Lake. “I think it’s pretty cool (we both won awards),” Rafael said. “I thought my brother would win. I didn’t think I would win it. (Ethan) was just more involved in a lot of sports this year and did pretty well in all of them. I just didn’t see myself as winning it. There are a lot of good athletes in my grade who could have just as easily won the award.” As a member of the senior class next year at Moscrop, Rafael would like to make a personal breakthrough in track and field at the provincials. Brandon has a goal of helping put the school basketball team among the top programs in the district. Ethan just hopes that this bantam award will not be his last. “I’d like to go for five in a row,” he said. “There are a lot of other athletes in my grade, so it will be close.” Look for more athletes of the year in every Wednesday’s Scorecard section in the NOW.
