CRASH CENTRAL

The Highway 1 and Willingdon interchange has averaged about a crash a day during the last five years – but there’s a new traffic plan in the works to make it safer Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

There’s an afternoon traffic lull at the Highway 1 and Willingdon interchange, but things are still somewhat hectic. “There’s just this constant roar of traffic,” says Max Logan, spokesperson for the Port Mann/ Highway 1 Project. Trucks rumble along the Willingdon overpass, as eastbound drivers exiting the highway dart across two lanes to position themselves for a left turn on Canada Way. It’s noisy, it’s chaotic, and you don’t have a lot of time or space to manoeuvre. ICBC listed the THE BIG PICTURE Highway 1/Willingdon interchange as the most Map: Check out a accident-prone intersecgraphic which shows tion in all of B.C.

A CLOSER LOOK: EDUCATION REPORTER JENNIFER MOREAU VISITS MS. TANG’S MANDARIN CLASS

The students say hi: ‘Ni hao, Fluffy’

t’s Day 4 of kindergarten at Forest Grove Elementary for a group of Burnaby youngsters enrolled in the district’s firstever elementary Mandarin program. The teacher, Ms. Tang, claps to get the group’s attention and counts to five as they quiet down and find a place to sit on the floor. “So, boys and girls, I’m going to show you what Chinese characters look like,” she says, drawing on the flip chart. “It looks very different from the letters we are learning.” Ms. Tang writes the characters for “hello” on the chart. “Oh!” exclaims one child. “They look weird,” says another. “So how do you say hello in Mandarin again?” Ms. Tang asks, and they all chime on cue: “Ni hao.” Ms Tang then ON MY BEAT pulls out Fluffy the Jennifer Moreau squirrel, and the children salute Fluffy, again in sing-song unison: “Ni hao, Fluffy.” The kids then disperse to play areas. One child sits at a table with a bowl full of cotton balls and a pair of chopsticks. There are 22 kids in the full-day class. About half are Caucasian, and some are Asian and already speak some Mandarin. Class runs from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the students spend 30 minutes a day learning Mandarin. The program will continue as they move on to Grade 1, and a fresh crop of kindergarten kids will start learning Mandarin next year. As they get older, the time spent learning Mandarin will increase by about 10 to 15 minutes a year, explains Forest Grove principal Deborah Taylor. “The language element will be threaded throughout the whole day,” she says. The lexicon is limited to simple things for now: hello, goodbye, please and thank you – things they need to socialize. There is also a cultural component, so students learn about Chinese holidays and culture. Five-year-old Emily says she was interested in Mandarin, so her parents signed her up, and so far, she’s enjoying it. “It’s really fun actually,” she says. When asked if it’s hard to learn, she says: “Kind of easy, kind of hard. It’s in the middle.” The Mandarin language arts program is the first of its kind in the Burnaby school district and the province, although Coquitlam introduced something similar this year. While Burnaby high school students can study Mandarin as a second language, the program is a first for elementary. The idea first came up from an e-mail to the school board back in 2007. The board’s education committee initially rejected the idea, based on staff advice, but then-trustee Richard Lee successfully proposed a motion to have the district look into the feasibility of the program. The district then surveyed parents and got 3,000 responses, where the majority chose a language arts pro6

gram over full Mandarin immersion or half Mandarinhalf English. The course is optional, and the children have to know English. The district plans to continue the program as long as parents are signing their kids up, says the district’s assistant superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen. The program will eventually expand to Grade 7 as this first crop of kindergarten students advance to higher grades. The Education Ministry doesn’t have any grand plans to bring in Mandarin across B.C. – it’s up to districts to decide what programs they want to offer. Chinese languages play a prominent role in Burnaby’s demographics. In 2006, more than half (51 per cent) of the Dell Home Solutions Visions* Real Cdn. Superstore* Buy Low* Husqvarna*

city’s population was made up of immigrants. Of those, the largest group (21 per cent) was from China. While English was the top mother-tongue language for Burnaby, Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese) came in second. But, as school board chair Diana Mumford points out, the program isn’t for that demographic. “This program is not meant for those that already speak Mandarin or Cantonese,” Mumford says, adding it’s a chance for children to learn another language. “To provide students that opportunity, to provide that language, will be a benefit, just as they have with French immersion or any of the other opportunities that we provide in our schools,” she says.

the old projected deficit and the new projected deficit as cash is misleading and irresponsible – and doubly so coming from a government that only just repealed its own law making deficits illegal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The wealthy don’t need a break

Dear Editor:

Re: Parents protest lack of support, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 11. It is clear that parents with special needs children face many difficulties and lack of support. These difficulties are largely the result of political decisions. The Liberal government, during its nine years of power in B.C., has decided that tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations are more important than supporting citizens who need our help. The justification for these tax cuts are that it will stimulate more spending and result in increased jobs and prosperity. In reality, tax cuts to the wealthy and big business only put more money in the hands of the richest citizens. While they can buy a second home or luxury condo in Whistler, the

other 95 per cent of us are faced with increased costs of services and a $2 billion annual increase in taxes in the form of the HST and accordingly have to cut back on essentials. The price for living in a civil society is taxing the wealthy at higher rates than the rest of us. I think the average family earning over $200,000 a year can sacrifice that vacation to the Riviera so that the middle class families in need can access basic services. Murray Martin, Burnaby

assertion that Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee is nothing more than a parrot for his bosses in Victoria. Having dealt with Mr. Lee on how best to welcome social housing next to Confederation Park, it’s obvious who he represents, and it’s not his constituents. Mr. Lee let us use his office for a meeting with B.C. Housing, then he tried to make himself out as the community saviour in his newsletter. What he really did behind closed doors was regurgitate the party line out of Victoria. Ditto for concerns regarding ongoing noxious odours related to Chevron’s operations in North Burnaby.

MLA shouldn’t get smug Dear Editor:

port, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 11. Mr. Richard Lee, MLA, has recently been cited as justifying his position on the HST thus: “When asked if the Liberals were leaning towards an initiative vote, Lee said a decision hasn’t been made yet but an initiative vote wouldn’t be a bad idea. Lee said about 19 per cent of British Columbians signed the anti-HST petition. “‘How about the other 81 per cent?’ Lee asked. ‘There is some merit on the public (initiative) vote as a way to see how many people have some problem with the HST.’” In checking the 2009 election results, I see that Mr Lee received 9,351 votes out of a total of 38,404 registered voters. This translates into 24.4 per cent for Mr. Lee, which is slightly larger than the 19 per cent of British Columbians who signed the petition. With 75.6 per cent not having supported him, Mr. Lee should be careful about being smug. There is ample opportunity for a recall campaign.

No one can argue that the White Spot chain has not grown, even while respecting their workers and the collective agreement. I’m sure many years ago that restaurants with signs that read “whites only” or places that discouraged gay clientele or women who chose to breastfeed their children were packed and people could “choose” not to eat or work there. You can change your experience and training level to make you an attractive candidate for a position as a server, but you can’t change whether or not you are considered attractive, your gender, your skin colour and so on.

Servers: ‘Sex appeal’ on the job being able to work in dignity and self-respect. Dress codes which do not demean the worker, combined with a clean and well-groomed appearance, are completely acceptable requirements in most circumstances. This does not extend to unreasonable requirements that have nothing to do with the ability to perform the job. In 1998, staff at the Cheesecake Café in Victoria (very similar to a Milestone’s type of restaurant) chose to join the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), in large part due to their desire to be respected and to achieve dignity in their workplace. Once we negotiated our first collective agreement, we had the ability to deal with arbitrary cuts in hours, unfair treatment and fair dress code issues.

Burnaby parents get 2010 BIKE CLEARANCE Save up to 45% OFF MSRP help for daughter Kate On all 2010 bikes PARENTS LOBBIED FOR CHANGES TO SYSTEM

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A Burnaby couple at the centre of a push for more help for children with special needs will soon get some assistance for their daughter. Three-year-old Kate has Down syndrome and qualifies to get an extra worker to accompany her at daycare through the provincial government’s Supported Child Development Program. But, because program demand outstrips government funding, there isn’t enough staff, and wait-lists are long. So long, in fact, that Kate’s parents – Marc Adams and Wendy Seet – figure she will be out of daycare by the time her number comes up. But, thanks to a child at Kate’s daycare, there will be some help available. Another girl is getting a support worker through the same program, and that worker can help Kate, too. “Essentially, we’re piggybacking off of somebody. So we’re good for now, but if this child leaves the daycare, we’re back to the same position,” Seet said. Seet and Adams have been organizing parents and pushing the government to provide the Supported Child Development Program with more funding. Having an extra worker means Kate can interact in an authentically inclusive environment –

something her parents say is crucial to her healthy development. On Wednesday (Sept. 15) in Vancouver, Seet and a small group of parents made a presentation to a committee of MLAs who are collecting input on what the government’s priorities should be for the next budget. “I think it went the best that it could go,” Seet said, adding she is still skeptical. “They were definitely interested in what we had to say. … I think they were moved. I saw nods and I saw smiles.” Burnaby MLA Kathy Corrigan also attended the parents’ presentation. Corrigan said she agreed with an argument Seet made, that investing in children with special needs now pays off in the long-term, something Child and Family Development Minister Mary Polak has also expressed. “If the minister recognizes there is a pay off, then why is the investment not being made?” Corrigan asked. Polak told the NOW that while waitlists are trying for families, government resources are tight, and many families are receiving other forms of help. Seet said she may organize another parents’ meeting in a month to strategize on their campaign. For more on this story, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www. burnabynow.com.

Gas line incident leads to school evacuation Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Students at Lochdale Community School got a bit of a scare on Wednesday afternoon when a Burnaby construction crew hit a gas line on a neighbouring property. Just after 1 p.m., Burnaby RCMP, Burnaby firefighters and Terasen gas workers were called to a site near Kitchener Street and Cliff Avenue. According to Terasen spokesperson Marcus Wong, a third-party contractor was doing some construction work on a yard when they inadvertently hit a gas line. Wong said that with the gas line being damaged and a smell of gas, Terasen workers then started on their normal procedures in these situations. That meant an evacuation of the neighbouring area, including Lochdale Community School, and Terasen workers trying to stop the flow of gas. In a letter sent out by Lochdale principal

Richard Per to parents, Per said: “Near the end of the lunch hour (on Sept. 15), a gas leak was discovered outside of a home on Cliff Avenue near Kitchener Street by the southeast corner of our field. “On the recommendation of the Burnaby Fire Department, and as a precautionary measure, the school was evacuated and students were supervised on the opposite side of the school. “Students were outside of the building for approximately 20 minutes while the fire department and Terasen Gas dealt with the issue.

Seniors helping seniors

he South Burnaby Neighbourhood House is working with Voices of Burnaby Seniors to run a seniors outreach program this fall. Anyone who is 55 and older can learn how to help isolated seniors. The idea is volunteers meet with seniors and help them get connected to resources and community programs. Volunteers learn things like selfawareness, effective communication, the ethics of helping others, as well as health and social issues. The training sessions start Sept. 30 and take place at the neighbourhood house, at 4845 Imperial Dr. Contact Lycia Rodrigues at 604431-0400 to get involved.

Literacy for adults

To celebrate International Literacy Day, the Metrotown library branch is hosting a special event for adult learners on Sept. 28. Four out of 10 Canadian adults struggle with literacy. That’s why ABC Life Literacy Canada started Good Reads, a series of easyto-read books by top Canadian authors aimed at adults improving their literacy skills. Author Gail Anderson-Dargatz will read from her book Stalker, which is part of the Good Reads series. Stalker is characterized as a short, suspenseful novel about a stalker on a West Coast kayaking tour. Anderson-Dargatz also wrote The Cure for Death by Lightning and A Recipe for Bees. Her reading is on Tuesday, Sept. 28, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Bob Prittie Metrotown library branch, at 6100 Willingdon Ave. It’s free.

Temple helps Tamil migrants Members of Edmonds Street temple are donating clothes to help Tamil arrivals who are being held in detention Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Members of a Burnaby temple are putting clothes on the backs of the Tamil migrants that recently arrived by boat to B.C. The Arul Migu Thurkadevi Hindu Society (B.C.) runs a Hindu temple on Edmonds Street, serving 200 members of the Tamil community. Members recently donated clothes to help the group of refugee claimants. The society’s board president, Balachandran Yogeswaran, said the temple’s membership is mostly from Sri Lanka and India. “All of them really want to help,” Yogeswaran said. “They are saying (the migrants) came to a new country and they

Giving back

A group of ICBC employees took time out of their workdays to help out at Seton Villa Retirement Centre on Sept. 10. Ten workers from the insurance corporation spent the day at the retirement home, cleaning up the gardens, washing walkers and oiling wood throughout the Overlynn Mansion, a heritage home on the Seton Villa site. “We are so pleased that the ICBC group

approached us, and they were given the day to volunteer in the community,” said Fran McDougall, the villa’s executive director. Seton Villa opened in 1974 and now provides housing for 230 seniors.

Bidding farewell

SFU lost its vice-president of university relations at the start of the fall term, when Warren Gill passed away from cancer on Sept. 7. Gill started with Simon Fraser University’s geography department in 1977. He was a key part of planning the Vancouver SFU campus and a frequent commentator on

urban and transportation issues with local and national media. There is a memorial service on Sunday, Sept. 19, at 2 p.m., at SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings St. in Vancouver. In lieu of flowers, gifts in Warren’s memory may be made to the Dr. Warren Gill Memorial Fund at SFU or to the Royal Hudson Preservation Fund of the West Coast Railway Association.

Belly dance in the spotlight at Shadbolt I

f you have any preconceived ideas of what belly dance is all about, check them at the door. The Middle Eastern Dance Association is offering up Twilight at the Oasis: An Evening of Belly Dance on Saturday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. A press release from the group promises that the show will help to open minds about what belly dance is all about. “When most people think of a belly dancer, they picture a woman in a bra and skirt with coins jingling from her hips, waving her stomach muscles in and out,” the release notes. This show will run the gamut of belly dance styles –with Egyptian cabaret, tribal fusion, sword balancing, Rom (Gypsy) dancing, American tribal style, Wings of Isis and folkloric Middle Eastern dances, including live musicians. Twilight at the Oasis is the 10th annual showcase for the Middle Eastern Dance Association, which has been promoting, teaching and performing Middle Eastern dancing across the Lower Mainland for more than 30 years. The featured dancer of the evening is Sabura, two-time winner of the Bellydancer U.S.A. title. Rounding out the evening are top Middle Eastern dancers from across B.C. – the list include Ala Nar, Ashely, Belly Belly Hip, Banat Tariq, Egyptian Breeze, Emily, Florero, Ishtar, Kim and Kim, Laura Scotten and Lava. The show is in the James Cowan Theatre at Shadbolt, 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Tickets are $20, or $18 for members of the association. See www. shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000.

The Cambrian Hall is at 215 East 17th Ave., at Main Street, in Vancouver. Curtain is at 7 p.m. Admission is $18 general, or $12 for students. See www.procantanti. com or call 604-646-0406.

Try your feet at folk dancing Julie MacLellan staff reporter

Considering that Lucie Babin grew up in Quebec, you might assume that her passionforFrench-Canadian folk dancing arose in childhood. In fact, she didn’t start doing French-Canadian folk dancing until she moved to B.C. But once she did – joining a French-Canadian folk dance group, with whom she danced for 20 years – she got hooked. Babin now leads Traditions French-Canadian Folkloric Dancers, a Burnaby-based group that grew out of the Burnaby International Folk Dancers. Babin is inviting everyone to come and check out the group at an open house on Monday night, Sept. 20, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at Willingdon Centre. Visitors will be able to watch and join in to see if French-Canadian folk dancing is something they’d like to try. No dance experience is required to join the group,

Babin says – just a willingness to learn. But because the group does performances throughout the year, members need to be able to attend weekly rehearsals. “We do all the teaching, but we require a commitment,” Babin says. The group welcomes adults of all ages to join its ranks, and Babin says she’d be keen on having some young adults turn out. And no, you don’t have to be French-Canadian to join – in fact, Babin herself is the only French-Canadian; the rest are from a range of cultural backgrounds. Those who join the group have a chance to perform in a wide range of settings. Last season was a particularly busy one, Babin says – with performances at Robson Square during the Winter Olympics, at the Saltspring Island Folk Dance Festival, at the PNE, and at the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle, among others. Traditions is also a popular fixture at Burnaby Village Museum, where the group

Part of the fun of the group’s performances is getting the audience up dancing, and that never seems to be difficult when audiences hear the toe-tapping rhythms reflecting the country’s French, Irish, English and Scottish roots. Babin herself can’t imagine a life without dance in it. “It’s like a drug,” she says with a laugh. “It’s good exercise, for one thing. It’s a

lot of fun, it makes you feel good,” she says, adding it’s almost like therapy. “After a bad day, it’s nice to go dancing and let it all out.” Anyone who’s interested in checking it out for themselves is invited to stop by the Willingdon Centre, at 1491 Carleton Ave., on Monday night. Babin would appreciate hearing from interested people in advance – call her at 604-299-0307 or e-mail traditionsfolk@shaw.ca.

EDMONDS EXPRESS XPRESS COMMUNITY DRIVEN NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS & BUSINESSES OF BURNABY-EDMONDS

Nikkei celebrates 10-year anniversary Several events planned for this fall Niki Hope EDMONDS EXPRESS Cathy Makihara learned about the Second World War internment of Japanese-Canadians as a university student at SFU. At the time, she said she could understand the mass hysteria that took hold of North Americans, who were at war with Japan. It didn’t excuse the bad behaviour, but she could see where the fear came from, she said. It wasn’t until after she had graduated from university and started working as a settlement worker to implement the Japanese-Canadian redress in the 1980s that she began to hear first-hand accounts of Japanese-Canadians whose lives were turned upside down when the Canadian – and United States – government pulled them from their homes, jobs and, in some cases, families, and forced them to live in camps. "We would write their stories when we'd fill out their redress application," Makihara said. "It changed my life." The internments are one of the worst accounts of human-rights violations in this country’s history. In the late 1980s, Canada and the United States issued formal apologies for the way people of Japanese descent were treated during the war. In Canada, those who had lived through the period received a monetary compensation of $21,000.

Mentors made a difference to girls Natural talent isn’t everything, say rep basketball players Tom Berridge sports editor

Alisha Roberts and Lexie Der of Burnaby are good friends, close teammates and fierce AA basketball rivals. Alisha is a 16-year-old Grade 11 guard with the B.C. 2A provincial girls’ basketball champion York House Tigers. Lexie, 17, is in her grad year with St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights. Together the Basketball B.C. under-17 provincial teammates live and breathe on the hoop hard court – in competition and in practice. Alisha practically grew up with a basketball in her hands. Lexie took a more circuitous route, playing up on youth boys’ soccer teams before finally trading Metro girls’ soccer for the game of roundball. With two older sisters to look up to and her father, Norm, as a coach, Alisha attended every high school hoop game at New Westminster Secondary from the time she was seven or eight years old. Alisha took part in the pre-game warmups and shootarounds and it was clear to anyone watching that she was a protégé. “Those days were fun. I’d never give them up. Watching those girls and watching my sisters be part of a team that was so close. Just observing that and being able to be a part myself, I think that’s what started it,” Alisha said. Lexie was a soccer star in the making under South Burnaby Metro Club coach Lassad Salem. The two girls first met in South Burnaby’s Eagles

being on top of me, and diving out of bounds and hitting the walls,” Lexie said. Later that year, the two played together on the zone team at the 2006 Summer Games. It proved the beginning of the provincial basketball program for both of them. Alisha went on to win two silver medals with the under-15 B.C. girls’ team at the national championships. Lexie won a silver at u-15 and a second silver in her first year of u-17, while also helping Canada’s national team qualify for the inaugural u-17 world championships last year. This summer, Lexie travelled to France, where the Canadians finished 11th overall at the world championships.

“It was almost breathtaking to play against teams like that,” Lexie said. “There you can compare yourself with the rest of the world and that’s pretty incredible.” When she returned to Canada to watch her B.C. team take part at the nationals, she was unexpectedly called into service to replace an injured teammate. After a big first-round loss to the favoured Ontario girls, B.C. replied with a gutsy overtime win in the national championship gold-medal game. “In some ways it was just like that Grade 7 final, but we were on the same team,” said Lexie. Both girls harbour a dream to one day earn an Basketball Page 35

Canadians hammer NoCo in premier opener Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Girls Canadians kicked off their second season in the premier division of the Metro Women’s soccer league with a 5-0 win over North Coquitlam. The Canadians got all five goals from first-year players, including a pair each from Sarah Boulton and Kristen Vanderpauw. Former Burnaby Girls under-

18 youth player Amy Lawrence, a Burnaby South Secondary grad, also scored in her premier debut at Town Centre Stadium last Saturday. Simon Fraser University grad Cassie Newbrook earned a shutout in her first game with the premier Canadians squad. Burnaby jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the opening 15 minutes of play, but took its foot off the gas pedal after that until finding

the back of the net with a couple more scores in the final 20 minutes of play. The Canadians will be without three of their leaders in their home opener against the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Xtreme this Sunday. Captain Amy Bobb and assistants Stacy Warren and Jacqueline Gant will all be unavailable. “This will surely test the young Canadians’ leadership and mental strength early on in the new sea-

son without three key leaders,” said Burnaby head coach Matt Holbrook. The Canadians re-entered the premier division last season after a seven-year absence. The Burnaby team went on to finish fourth in their premier debut, which included a league final appearance and a narrow 1-0 semifinal loss to the seven-time defending Provincial Cup champion Surrey United.

Former Burnaby Oakey softball player Diana Baruffa is coming back to the city to help coach the defending NAIA national champion Simon Fraser University team. Current Clan head coach Mike Renney announced Baruffa’s appointment as an assistant coach on Tuesday. Baruffa, a Burnaby native, spent eight years in Georgia State as both a player and coach. A four-year starter at shortstop for the Georgia College and State University Bobcats, Baruffa spent the past four seasons as an assistant and then head coach of the women’s softball and soccer programs at the Georgia Military College. “I’m thrilled at the opportunity and look forward to being a part of a remarkable program and highly reputable institution,” said Baruffa in a Clan press release. “It will be a great fit for me to do the work I love in the city where I grew up.” Baruffa earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science at GCSU where she helped the Bobcats to two NCAA Division II World Series tournaments, including a championship finalist as a freshman in 2003. Baruffa was a twotime first team All-South Atlantic region infielder, and was also named to the All-Peach Belt Conference team in 2004 and ‘06, as well as to the conference all-tournament team in her first season. Her 211 career hits ranks first all-time at Georgia College, while her 119 runs and 110 runs batted in are third all-time. Prior to college, Baruffa won three Canadian softball championships with the Oakeys. “I’m excited to have Diana added to our staff,” said Renney, the 2010 NAIA coach of the year. “In our search, we interviewed candidates from across North America, so it was ironic that the best candidate was in our own backyard.”

’Bellies in must-win at Mann Cup Tom Berridge

sports editor

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are down – three games to two – but not out, says coach. The B.C. champions failed to follow up on their encouraging 9-8 overtime win over the Peterborough Lakers in Game 4 on Tuesday that tied the bestof-seven Mann Cup series at two games apiece. The Salmonbellies now must win the final two games of the series, following a 14-9 defeat to the Lakers on Wednesday. Game 6 was on Friday (after NOW deadlines). If necessary, Game 7 will be played Saturday. “It was an opportunity we didn’t take advantage of. My guys came out pretty flat,” said Salmonbellies head coach Bob Salt. “We’re still up. If anyone is going to win back East, it’s a Game 7.” But to get to a seventh game, the ’Bellies have to overcome a Cup-hungry Lakers bunch that fired 65 shots on New West’s Tyler Richards on Wednesday. Peterborough opened Wednesday’s game with a 3-0 start and never trailed, holding period leads of 5-2 and 10-5. The ’Bellies got to within two goals midway through the middle frame on Jordan Hall’s first of three goals.

Kid in the Hall: New Westminster’s Jordan Hall scores on one of his three goals in a 14-9 loss to Peterborough in Game 5 of the Mann Cup senior A lacrosse championships.

Hall opened the third period with back-to-back markers to shave the deficit to 10-7. But the Lakers, who like to reply in quick bursts, scored three times in a three-minute span to put the game out of reach. Jamie Floris got two goals back for New West, including a shorthanded counter late in the game. But Tracy Kelusky answered a minute later with his hat-trick goal.

Despite the damaging loss, Salt defended the play of his club. “The boys have done well. You have to go to Peterborough and play in front of 4,000 people in the stands, and put up with what goes on here to understand,” said Salt. “But we knew that coming here. We have to be disciplined.” On Tuesday, the Salmonbellies took a giant step in their Mann Cup adventure, winning their

first overtime game in six championships starts on Craig Conn’s game-winner. “We’re still in this,” Salt maintained. “We have a good system, but we sometimes get away from it. … We can take it to them when our offence gets going. We have to play a more controlled game. “Our best game has to be ahead of us. If it isn’t, we’re coming home. But we’ll give ’er.”

Select Royals start U-16 season with medal Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Selects Royals won the under-16A division at the Coquitlam Metro-Ford’s 24th annual Labour Day soccer tournament. Burnaby won its five-team division with a record of 4-0-1, scoring 10 times while giving up just one goal against. The Selects defeated Guildford Surrey 2-1 in a shootout in the tournament final. After a scoreless draw in regulation time, Mark Baldissimo scored

with three minutes left in the second half of OT. But with just 10 seconds to go, Surrey tied the score on a free kick, which created a scramble in front and a goal that just got by the outstretched hands of Select keeper Simrat Dhaliwal. Burnaby won the ensuing shootout 4-2. In Metro league play, the Royals coasted to a 4-1 victory over Langley United. Justin Dhaliwal scored a pair of goals, while Matthew Shannik and Baldisimo added single counters.

The Division 2 u-16 team dropped a 3-2 encounter with the Abbotsford Mariners. In u-14 Metro soccer, the Div. 1 team blanked the North Shore Selects 2-0, while the newest Select side, the Div. 2 team, beat Surrey Guildford 21 on a pair of goals by Devon Jones. Tanner Wright and Chris Diablikulu both scored second-half goals to lead the u-18 Div. 1 team to a 2-0 win over Coquitlam Metro-Ford Atletico. Jordan Campbell earned the shutout for Burnaby. The Div. 2 u-18s dropped a 2-1 decision to Surrey Whalley.

Freshman leads Clan at Cavalier Classic

Burnaby’s Michael Belle led the Simon Fraser University golf team to a fifth-place finish at the Cavalier Classic tournament in Oregon Sept. 15. Belle, a St. Thomas More Collegiate grad, shot a one-under-par 71 in the first and final rounds to finish the threeday competition tied for eighth with a one-overpar 217 total. Samuel Holland and Jarred Callbeck of the University of Victoria finished first and second, respectively, at eight- and six-under-par. UVic won the team competition. T.J. McCall and Jordan Melanson of SFU tied for 19th overall at nineover-par. Adam Karim and Ahamid Almani also contributed to SFU’s combined 32-over-par total.

Clan men on top

SFU’s men’s soccer team moved into top spot in the NAIA in a coaches top-25 poll this week. The No. 1 ranking marks the first time since 2000 that the Clan has led the small college poll. The Clan garnered 644 total points, including 13 first-place votes, narrowly edging Rio Grande of Ohio by a mere three points.

SFU knocked Lindsey Wilson of Kentucky out of top spot after two weekly polls. The Clan men are currently 4-0 and have allowed just one goal.

Hoops in Nov.

SFU’S basketball teams make their NCAA Division II debuts in November. The men’s team open against Hawaii Pacific University on Nov. 17. The Clan’s home opener will fall on Dec. 3 against Quest University. The defending twotime Canadian university champions take to the hardcourt on Nov. 19 against Warner Pacific. The women open at home on Dec. 2 against Montana State Billings.

Player of week

Burnaby’s Rachel Harker led a sweep of the Southwestern Athletic Conference women’s soccer awards last week. Harker, an ArkansasPine Bluff junior defender, was named the defensive player of the week, helping the Lady Lions post a 4-0 shutout against Harding last weekend. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has posted three shutouts so far this season.

athletic scholarship in the States. But they are equally adament under what conditions they would do so. Any post-secondary program would have to allow them to represent their country on the national team if they ever got that chance, they said. And why? Because of the coaching. “National team coach (Allison McNeill) has been there for me, (like my father) and not just me, but most everyone. I owe it to her to play for her, just like they have been there for everyone else,” said Alisha. And so the careers of the two Burnaby sportswomen and their mentors continue to evolve and intersect. “We definitely owe it to them to play for them,” added Lexie. “It’s a privilege. One of the reasons we won the nationals was because of the coaches.” “I’ve been blessed with so many good coaches,” Alisha said. “So have I,” Lexie replied.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections

Aries March 21 - April 19: Work, drudgery and intensified health concerns end mid-week. (You’ll still feel a bit down, overburdened, Monday to Wednesday.) You face a month of fresh opportunities, new horizons and exciting meetings – and challenges, opposition, possible refusals. To succeed, be diplomatic, flexible, seek to join, accent other’s desires, seek permission. (You hate to do that last thing; but others hold the power now.) The extremes occur Monday to Wednesday, when great opportunities and great obstacles arise. Join/bond; if you fight, then refusal comes Thursday, and a challenge, a test, Saturday. Taurus April 20-May 20: September’s pleasure, romance, risk and creativity yield mid-week to a month of practical interests: jobs, health, machinery, schedules, etc. Think ahead Sunday, to career prospects, potential meetings with higher-ups. Fill out an application or “design” a future meeting. Pleasure still calls Monday afternoon to Wednesday eve – it’s social, flirty, entertaining. Your hopes and happiness are high! (And you’ll meet some unusual people.) Buckle down to chores, duties Thursday onward.You’ll see how giant the task is! Be quiet, contemplative. You’ll have enough energy, as Saturday night proves. Gemini May 21-June 20: September featured seclusion, domesticity, tiredness and re-examination of your basic direction in life. But midweek starts a month of romance (a co-worker?) pleasure, creative urges, risk and reward – you’ll ride a winning streak! You began to doubt your plans, hopes in recent weeks: soon you’ll see that some hopes were justified! Tackle career demands Monday to Wednesday: obstacles and opportunities mingle, might result in a career rebirth. Employment’s lucky to January. Thursday casts love in a sober light, yet raises your hopes: Friday, too. Deep sexual, financial changes brew.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The fluff exits, the serious arrives. Sunday/Monday you meet mysteries and financial considerations– and possible intimacy, sex, commitment to a lifestyle with someone compatible. Monday eve to Wednesday brings dilemmas about love, ethics and the law. Tuesday features confrontation, intriguing meetings, attraction or dispute; Wednesday brings bonding, rebirth. Yes, it could be love –or arch-enmity! You enter a month of children, home, security, food and soul Wednesday night. Thursday to Saturday can brew competing interests, cause deep undercurrents in these same zones (kids, home, etc.). Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Domestic friction grows to late October. Remember the benefits of a light touch! Also to late October, a legal, international, higher education, religious, publishing or similar involvement can end. (It might have already begun to cease last week.) This is neither good nor bad, just a natural end, so you can begin anew somewhere/somehow else. The month ahead is NOT a good time to begin a legal (or love) affair, to wed, nor to move into a new home. Careful with sex, money Tuesday, with paperwork, travel, and communications Thursday onward. Sexy attraction (and investment luck) Wednesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Monetary and sensual urges grow through late October – you’ll feel restless about these, want to travel, talk, exchange paperwork or emails. This is more curiosity than consequence – you don’t have to commit yourself irrevocably to person or a project, purchase or investment. (Though you might. If you haven’t by December, you won’t.) Life is changing rapidly, but these are late-stage changes, so are weak or without a big future. The ones to build on will appear (or re-appear) in 2011. It’s wise to wait! Separations and meetings, Tuesday. Knitting together, “birth,” Wednesday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Sept. 19 - Sept. 25

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A month of weariness, burdens, seclusion (and delays) ends Wednesday night. The weeks ahead bring increased energy, charisma and effectiveness. You’ll have a winner’s timing! (First timing hint: start new and/or important projects Sept. 26 p.m. onward, not immediately.) This week tests your mettle. Tuesday brings work/ health dilemmas; Wednesday brings the “birth of the new” in these. Others oppose you (almost on principle – warped principle?) Thursday to Saturday – be sober, steady, diplomatic, ﬁrm. Money “swells” to late October: steer it to you, not from you. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wednesday begins a month of quietude, contemplation, planning, government contacts, charitable actions and associations. Your energy levels decline. Take “power naps.” Despite an atmosphere of rest and recuperation, your reserves will be tapped, perhaps strained, by larger work demands, and heightened romantic/sexual charisma. The “love magnetism” lasts into January 2011 – a major affair lures singles! (Perhaps a burdensome one if it starts before November.) Your duties change this week. Embrace a creative/romantic “rebirth” Tuesday/ Wednesday. A lucky meeting surprises you! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Pressures will ease soon. Wednesday starts a month of entertainment, social delights, flirtation and light romance, optimism and plans for your future. Over the past six weeks, you’ve been intrigued by a sense that wishes were or would come true – now the “reality” comes – and it’s a good one! However, your life plans, goals and wishes are changing deeply, mostly due to money factors. This is clear Thursday to Saturday. (If it isn’t clear, examine clues.) Earlier, Monday to Wednesday accent security, family: differing views are an opportunity to grow new common ground.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Two big things start now. One is quite usual, a month of ambition, pressure, career and prestige involvements. All these are undergoing a sea change now to 2024, as Thursday to Saturday will show. The other big thing is quite unusual in its duration: an upsurge in social joys, a mild but sweet upswing in popularity and optimism into January 2011. It could trigger sweet romance! You can use this social upswing to aid your career (schmooze with VIPs, etc.). Now through October a wish can come true about re-establishing home or property. Contact people Wednesday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Midweek, you move from mystery to a month of enlightenment, from research to broadcasting what you’ve learned. (Broadcasting = writing the term paper, giving advice, discussions, media appearances, etc.) Now through October, higher-ups, parents and VIPs will be temperamental, impatient (mostly due to work pressures) – step lightly, be diplomatic, smile – a promotion looms! The weeks ahead feature love, understanding, far travel, legal matters, higher education, publishing, a philosophical outlook. All these are changing “at base,” as late week shows. Start a money project Wednesday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Open dealings become more private, hidden. Overt attraction moves toward intimacy. Negotiations move toward funding. Whatever was an opportunity in the last few weeks now demands commitment and serious action. Life in general takes a deep turn, into mystery, revelation, subconscious urges, sexual desires, investments and debt, change and consequence. Avoid legal involvements, lawsuits now to Oct. 28. Legal matters will also reward you, a bit in October but strongly November/December. Your charisma, energy surge Monday-Wednesday – re-tackle an ambitious administrative project. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Retired Burnaby Central Secondary School instructor Merv Magus has come up with another literary gem. The talented South Burnaby cartoonist has recently completed his sixth in a series of lighthearted looks at the sport of hockey, entitled Hockey is a Funny Game. Magus first began displaying his wit in cartoon form in the NHL programs of the early Vancouver Canucks. He kept that up for more than 25 years until the club format changed. In this most recent issue, Magus has added a special cartoon version of the history of hockey feature in the booklet. “It’s a labour of love,” said Magus. “I don’t make any money from this, just enough to buy a case of beer now and again.” The 112-page soft cover is available through the websitewww.cartoonroom. com. The cartoon booklet will also soon be available at Lower Mainland Canlan Sports Centres. Magus has also contributed his cartoons for the Vancouver Whitecaps, the CFL and B.C. Lions football, Par Golf magazine and 100plus Golf.

Volunteer heroes honoured Sport B.C. will honour five sports leaders from Burnaby at the Community Sport Hero Awards. The five, Barbara and Glen Vogl from speedskating, Samantha Morrison from ringette, Action Schools B.C. volunteer Barton Lim and Mario Lam for gymnastics and martial arts, will be honoured at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 22. Acting Burnaby Mayor Sav Dhaliwal will present the winners with their awards and a gift from Firstar Sports. The public is invited to come and celebrate the outstanding local volunteers. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
