SEXUAL TOUCHING

City man nets four charges

ECONOMY

Cities need global say on free trade

Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Burnaby resident and former Coquitlam school teacher Aleksandr Plehanov has been released on $400 bail after Crown counsel laid four charges of sexual touching against him in relation to incidents that occurred in Coquitlam schools dating back to October 2009. Coquitlam RCMP spokesman Bert Paquet said Monday that a fourth complainant came forward after Mounties stated on May 3 that Plehanov, 35, had taught in 31 Coquitlam schools since 2007. The RCMP had recommended nine counts involving three girls aged seven and eight, including charges of sexual interference, sexual exploitation and sexual assault, but Crown counsel approved only the counts of sexual interference. Paquet said the investigation is still active. “We are not in a position to get upset if fewer charges are laid,” he said. “We just bring our best case forward.” Paquet said Plehanov appeared in court on May 13, posted $400 bail and was released. Plehanov is subject to several stringent release conditions, including not being anywhere near children, and he must “report all intimate relationships” with parents or guardians of children.

Mayor Derek Corrigan warns about impact of European Union trade agreement Janaya Fuller-Evans

Powwow: One of the dancers in the grass dance at the Stoqw’eylem Powwow last weekend, held at Burnaby Central Secondary. The annual event is one of the biggest powwows in the Lower Mainland, and draws people from all over North America.

International trade agreements affect Canadian cities, and municipal governments should have a say in what trade the agreements allow, according to Burnaby’s Mayor, Derek Corrigan. Corrigan was speaking specifically about the federal government’s trade agreement with the European Union, and how this agreement, which is in negotiations, could affect municipal contracts. The agreement could give European companies full access to municipal, hospital, post-secondary institution and provincial contract bids. Corrigan was speaking in his role as a director of Metro Vancouver, the regional government, and as a director of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. In March, Burnaby council voted to ask the federation to get involved and fight the plan to give European companies access to municipal contracts. Corrigan is also concerned about the North American Free Trade Agreement, and concessions made with the United States for its Buy American policy. “The federal government is making agreements that indicate that our local municipalities will have to give an even playing field to all multinational corporations that wish to bid,” Corrigan said. He added that this is bad news for smaller, local businesses, which aren’t able to bid on contracts in Europe or the U.S., and lose out. He called the agreements an “international Trade Page 8

FIRST TIME SINCE 1984 HE’S VISITED CANADA

Barbados PM to make special trip to city Alfie Lau

staff reporter

It’s not often a prime minister comes to Burnaby, but, on the May 22, the Hon. David Thompson, prime minister of Barbados will be in town. Thompson is the guest speaker at the National Council of Barbadians Association in Canada dinner, to be held at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown. “I’m absolutely ecstatic to have Prime Minister Thompson come to speak to us,” said Marilyn Moseley, president of the association. “We will be fully sold out for 400 to 450 people for that night.” Moseley said she was surprised as anyone when Thompson accepted the council’s invitation. “This will be the first time since 1984 that the prime minister has come to Canada,” said Moseley. “We put in the request through the high commissioner’s office, and we found out earlier this year that he had accepted. … It’s a great honour to have him come to our event.” Moseley isn’t nervous about meeting Thompson for the first time. “It will be quite an honour to host him,” said Moseley. “But I also know that he’s a man like my husband. He puts on his pants one leg at a time. … I think I will be very comfortable talking to him.” While Thompson’s appearance will be the highlight of the weekend, there will be events all during the four-day conference, including Barbadian-born Senator Anne Cools speaking at a Saturday’s lunch. Moseley isn’t doing the organizing alone, as her committee of 10 includes volunteers from other Caribbean countries. Maryann Pyne and Beverley Drayton are both originally from Jamaica and didn’t hesitate when asked to help organize the Barbadian conference. “We always try to work together on things that help bring attention to the Caribbean,” said Pyne. “We have to support each other.” Drayton has an even better excuse for helping out: Her husband Eric is the president of the Barbados Cultural Association of B.C. “I married a Bajan,” Beverley said, explaining that “Bajan” is the casual form of Barbadian. “I’m also a caterer, so I know they needed some help with the food on their welcome night.” For that Friday night private function, Beverley will be cooking up some Bajan specialties, including sousas, (which are pickled pigs’ feet, fish cakes, roast chicken and Caribbean rice and peas. “I’m going to be very busy,” she said. For Eric, he’s only finding out now how much more work he has to do. “I’m part of the welcoming party for all the guests,” he said. “And they keep tell-

before she was elected president in May 2008. Moseley’s enthusiasm rubbed off on Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan, who didn’t hesitate when Moseley approached him last year for assistance. “When she expressed a desire to host their conference in Burnaby, I thought this was another great way for Burnaby to celebrate its diverse culture and background,” said Chouhan. “I was more than happy to put her in touch with our mayor and with the Hilton.” Getting the prime minister of Barbados to visit Burnaby was just the icing on the cake for Chouhan. “I can’t remember the last time we had a visiting leader come to Burnaby,” said Chouhan. “It’s a big, big honour and a huge achievement that I’m really excited about.” Chouhan hasn’t been to Barbados himself – the closest he got was a vacation he took last year with his wife to Cuba – but that may change in the near future. “I’ve told Marilyn that my next trip with my wife may be to Barbados,” said Chouhan.

Child and youth watchdog wins court decision

RECYCLE YOUR BROKEN OLD GOLD INTO CASH!

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

B.C.’s watchdog for kids in the child welfare system won a court battle last Friday to get her hands on government documents she says she needs to do her job. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond is B.C.’s representative for children and youth; it’s the only independent office with a legislated mandate to act as a watchdog over a specific branch of the government – the Ministry of Children and Family Development. A B.C. Supreme court judge ruled Friday, May 14, that the provincial government broke the law by refusing to hand over cabinet documents that Turpel-Lafond wanted to complete an audit of the Child in the Home of a Relative program. The program funds roughly 4,500 kids in B.C., 40 to 50 per cent of who are aboriginal. Turpel-Lafond wanted the documents to try and figure out what the government’s rationale was for phasing out the program. The judge in the case, Justice Susan Griffin, ordered Mary Polak, children and family development minister, and Premier Gordon Campbell to immediately turn over the documents in question to Turpel-Lafond. Griffin echoed Turpel-Lafond’s statements, saying that the government “failed to comply with their statutory duty” to give up the documents. Turpel-Lafond’s office was in a long struggle to get the documents, which the government refused to hand over, citing cabinet confidentiality. According to the law that created Turpel-Lafond’s position, she’s allowed to see any government documents she needs in order to do her job. The government only wanted to give her the cabinet documents if she signed a protocol that would let them control when and how that information was released. The government also introduced legislation that would make cabinet documents off limits retroactively to 2007. Although Turpel-Lafond won the case to get access to the documents in question, the government could still choose to pass the legislation that would restrict her access in the future. – With files from the Times Colonist

Branch, said the Crown initially approved three charges. “The additional count was approved on May 7, a warrant was executed on May 13, and Mr. Plehanov now faces four counts,” MacKenzie said. He noted that sexual touching carries the same maximum 10-year penalty as the other sex-abuse counts, but also a minimum penalty of 45 days in jail. Under Section 151 of the Criminal Code, the charge is actually stated as “sexual interference,” involving touching “for a sexual

purpose … any part of the body of a person under the age of 16 years.” Plehanov, 35, was arrested March 18 by Coquitlam RCMP. Police issued a lengthy list of schools in which Plehanov had taught since 2007. Coquitlam school district spokeswoman Cheryl Quinton admitted Monday that the district did take disciplinary action against Plehanov but would not confirm the date, the reason or kind of discipline. Plehanov’s next scheduled appearance in court is June 3. – Canwest News Service files

OUR VIEW

Canada environmental disaster, the Athabasca Tar Sands oil recovery project (which also involves BP, incidentally), isn’t nearly as serious anymore, now that there’s a far more obvious and visible disaster unfolding more quickly somewhere else. But the tar sands defenders are wrong. Even if the Gulf disaster is worse, it doesn’t diminish one iota the serious damage that is being done – all legal and sanctioned by our environmentally challenged federal govern-

ment – every day through the oil-mining in Northern Alberta. It reminds us of folks who claim police shouldn’t worry so much about speeding motorists as long as there are still drunk drivers on the roads. Well, they both kill people, even if one might kill a few more than the other, and both need our traffic officers’ strictest attention. And that’s how it is with environmental disasters: They’re all killing us by degrees.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Overgrown lots are not parks

Netball gets some recognition

Dear Editor:

I’m writing as a concerned Burnaby resident about the overgrown empty lots around the city that are classified as “city parks.” In my neighbourhood alone (East Burnaby) there are three lots that are never maintained which are next to city parks (maintenance folks tell us they are not part of the parks). It makes the city look dumpy and is deceiving that Burnaby would consider these empty, overgrown lots as one of the city’s many “beautiful city parks.” I am embarrassed as a longtime Burnaby resident that my city would brag about having so much parkland, yet let so much of it go to waste.

I am writing in regards to your article in Saturday’s paper about netball. I am so pleased that a newspaper has finally taken the time to write about this fantastic sport. I have been playing for three years now both in and outside of school and I have truly enjoyed every moment. Everyone in the netball family is so welcoming and it’s great to be around people who realize that in order to win and have fun while doing so you must work together. Even though not many people know what netball is, it has become a popular sport here in Canada. I encourage everyone to come out the weekend of

STV system isn’t even on the municipal radar Dear Editor:

Although I largely agree with Mr. Huntley (It’s time for real representation, May 15, Burnaby NOW, In my Opinion column by David Huntley) that an STV system would provide the fairest representation to voters of all stripes, the idea of proportional representation, not surprisingly, is not even under the consideration of the task force on local government electoral reform. As he points out, our first-past-thepost system has many inadequacies that STV seems to address and results in many voters’ points-of-view being underrepresented. In the last election, the supposedly intelligent opponents of fair voting relied successfully on the argument that if you can’t understand how it works, you shouldn’t use it. If we used that sort of logic in our daily lives, most of wouldn’t use cars or cellphones or any other innovation. To ensure the failure of adopting STV provincially, the Liberal government, with the tacit agreement of the NDP, made it a referendum question. Both major parties prefer to covet the unbalanced power that the first-past-thepost system provides at election time rather than have to share power with third parties like the Greens or Conservatives. The composition of the task force and

its narrow mandate, which includes reinstituting a corporate vote suggest it is a Liberal public relations exercise with the aim of strengthening right-wing support in future municipal elections. Sadly, proportional representation may be the fair and logical choice for choosing civic leaders, but this time around the idea isn’t even on the radar. Rick McGowan, Burnaby

Liberals never promised not to bring in HST: Hansen

Dear Editor:

One of the issues in the HST debate that needs clarification is regarding what was or was not said about the HST during the election campaign. The question is: Did the B.C. Liberals promise during the election that there would be no HST? The answer is no. What did happen? During elections, political parties receive dozens of surveys from organizations. These surveys are answered on behalf of candidates by individuals working out of the party headquarters. In response to two surveys asking about the HST, the answer was sent out, quite correctly, that the HST “is not something that is contemplated in the B.C. Liberal platform.” Other than those surveys, the subject of the HST was never raised during the election by the media, by the NDP or in any of the debates. After the election, Finance Ministry staff brought forward new information regarding the HST that led the government to decide in July to eliminate the PST and harmonize the provincial seven per cent share with the federal GST. Colin Hansen, Finance Minister

Premier: Cagey on his future continued from page 6

mutterings within his own party about needing a new leader would become increasingly louder. By opening the door ever so slightly to eventually stepping down, Campbell has bought himself some time. He’s nipped in the bud, for now anyways, any attempt to stir the leadership pot behind his back. Nevertheless, his comments have reminded his party that it may well have to confront a potentially messy leadership battle down the road. The usual names have surfaced – Mike de Jong, Rich Coleman, Kevin Falcon, even Blair Lekstrom – when talk turns to a possible successor (from outside caucus, two names are being bandied about: Carole Taylor and Dianne Watts). In an odd way, the attention paid to Campbell’s musings also reminded New Democrats of their own challenge on

that front. Although the party is cruising along with a double-digit lead in the polls over the B.C. Liberals, the whispers of doubts about Carole James’ leadership abilities simply won’t go away. James is taking a very low profile these days, preferring to let the anti-HST petition led by Bill Vander Zalm (her almost co-leader these days) take all the limelight (at last, the latest joke goes, the NDP finally has a leader with charisma). I’ve written here before that James and Campbell will not square off against each other in 2013. The betting is that it will be Campbell who leaves first, but don’t underestimate the New Democrats’ ability to feast upon their own leaders, even in good times. That leadership genie is going to be floating around for a long time yet, whether either leader likes it or not. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Trade: Cities need a voice, mayor says continued from page 1

charter of rights for multinational corporations.” Corrigan brought up the softwood lumber dispute as an example of international interference in local B.C. economies. The U.S. set a 27 per cent duty on softwood lumber entering the country in May 2002. This was renegotiated between the governments, and 80 per cent of duty revenues were to be returned. “We (municipalities) all have to take an active role to lobby the government (about free trade),” Corrigan said. He pointed out that municipalities are often not notified by the federal government about these agreements or how the agreements could affect Canadian cities. “They do these agreements on the side,” he said. Part of the problem is that the issues around international trade are often complex, and the media doesn’t cover trade agreements extensively enough, according to Corrigan. “People hear (the term) free trade, and people love (the word) free,” Corrigan said. “But there’s nothing free about it.” He added that things have changed since the Liberals were in power. The Harper government doesn’t consult with municipalities the way the previous government did, Corrigan said. “The Liberal government was working with municipalities,” Corrigan said, calling the move “good politics.” “They wanted to talk directly to mayors.” The Conservative government prefers to work with the provinces, not at a municipal level, Corrigan explained. And the provincial Liberal government is more committed to international trade policies than smaller, local businesses, he added. “They’re more interested in, does this fit in with the requirements for the big business community,” Corrigan said. But municipalities need to step in and speak out against agreements that follow us on

Smith said. He mentioned a speech Paul Martin made, about the role of the federal government in cities, in his last days as finance minister for the Liberal government.

Plans in motion for all-day kindergarten

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Education Ministry is pitching in some money to help the school district make more space for all-day kindergarten. The ministry is giving the school district roughly $41,000 to help cover the planning costs to install five new modular buildings at Brentwood Park, Lakeview, Montecito and Sperling elementary schools. Modular buildings are attached to the ground and more permanent than portables. The money is for planning purposes only. It doesn’t cover the costs of the buildings, although the ministry is expected to

pay for those in the future. Secretary-treasurer Greg Frank is expecting the provincial government to pick up the tab for all-day kindergarten. “It’s our expectation the enrolment will be funded, they’ll be paying for equipment and supplies, but they have not yet shared with us how much funding is coming,” he said. The school district is following a government plan to bring all-day kindergarten to half of B.C. schools this September and the other half by the following year. In Burnaby, 24 schools will offer fullday kindergarten this September, and the remaining 17 will do so in September 2011. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

It’s that turtle again

he Western painted turtle is the centre of attention at an upcoming Burnaby Lake event. This time, it has little to do with dredging. Turtle expert Vanessa Kilburn is leading a session on the Western painted turtle, an endangered species that lives in Burnaby Lake. The event is part of Metro Vancouver’s Hands-On Scientist speakers series. Kilburn’s turtle talk is Saturday, May 29, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Burnaby Lake. (Participants should meet at the office on Avalon Avenue, just off Cariboo Road.) There will be a slide-show presentation, followed by a walk to a known nesting area. The event is for people aged 13 and up and costs $10 per person. Make sure you register in advance by calling Metro Vancouver at 604-432-6359. Kilburn made headlines in the Burnaby NOW when she first came forward with concerns about how the city’s dredging project could harm the endangered turtles. The same concerns sparked the Environment Ministry to halt the project until the city could make sure there were no turtles in harm’s way before dredging.

Young scribe: Eleanor Hoskins puts pen to paper every year for the WORDS project, an annual anthology of poetry and prose written by Burnaby students, from kindergarten to Grade 12.

More than WORDS can say For nearly a quarter of a century, the WORDS project has been giving young local writers a place to be published Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

For Eleanor Hoskins, getting involved in the Burnaby school district’s WORDS project started seven years ago. “I submitted my first poem in Grade 3,” said the 15-year-old Burnaby North Secondary student, now in Grade 10. And since then, the budding writer has made the cut every year. WORDS is an annual writing anthology featuring work from Burnaby students in kindergarten to Grade 12. Each year, hundreds of students submit samples of poetry or prose, and a panel of judges selects around 80 for publication, based on original thinking and language competency. The students’ imaginations run the gamut of subjects, from science fiction, to family relationships, forced piano lessons, corn on the cob and bunnies. The published pieces are broken into grade and age categories so students get to compete

here’s probably no symbol of Vancouver more iconic than Stanley Park. And by the end of April, a little bit of that symbolism is on its way to Hastings Street. Anton’s Pasta Bar will be one of the first Burnaby restaurants to have Stanley Park 1897 Amber beer on tap. On a recent spring

Sunday, the Anton’s staff was invited to Turning Point Brewery’s Delta office to try out the 5.1 per cent light bodied beer that will soon be a summer favourite in the Heights. What drew Anton’s manager Tony Obuck to the Turning Point products is that the local brewery is trying to be Canada’s first sustainable brewery. That means not only does the brewery use the newest, most energy-efficient equipment, it’s trying to use less water during the brewing process. More importantly for Obuck and his staff, Turning Point’s polyurethane kegs are a kilogram

To give his staff an idea of what’s in store for them when Stanley Park 1897 Amber is on tap, Obuck had a dozen staffers try out the product and do a tour at Turning Point. Wesley Wright is the Turning Point area manager that signed Anton’s up as a client. “We want only the best restaurants as partners,” he said. “Anton’s is a perfect fit for us.” Wright pointed out that the Stanley Park amber

has a light-bodied mouth feel with a clean finish. Because Anton’s is known as one of the best pasta bars in the Lower Mainland, the beer goes best with savoury grilled or herb rubbed meats, shellfish and spicy dishes. “That describes most of our menu,” said Obuck. “I want our staff to be able to know how the beer goes with our dishes so when a customer asks, they can give an honest answer.” For head chef Sean Nowak, knowing what’s being served in the bar helps him in the kitchen. “We have some freedom in the kitchen,” he said. “It’s important to know how everything goes together.” Rachel Wolski has been working at Anton’s for almost nine years, and these tasting trips are what differentiate the North Burnaby restaurant from its competition. “We’re always trying to do things better,” she said. “And the managers want to know what the staff thinks.” And if that means the staff has to spend an afternoon drinking beer and critiquing its flavour, then that’s a price they’re all willing to pay.

“We don’t open until 3 on Sundays,” said Obuck. “Most of the people who came (on the tour) don’t have to work today, so they came in on their days off. … The ones who do have to work are just having one (sample).”

The new taps were to be installed at Anton’s before the end of April, and that means three other beers will be available – Peroni from Italy, Grolsch from Holland and Pilsner Urquell from the Czech Republic.

positive and the negative. You were told what you could do and what you could not do. Your sense of self worth may have been affirmed and nurtured or beaten and crushed. Our past experiences can shade our present as

well. If you grew up in poverty, you may remain anxious about money and food even if you have enough today. If you grew up in poverty for love, you may struggle today to love and feel loved. Traumatic experiences

leave their mark as well. Abuse – physical or emotional – can influence our relationships and our selfesteem. We may still grieve the losses of our past. The ghosts and voices of your past must be acknowledged, readdressed, chal-

lenged and overcome in order to live fully in the present and rise to the challenges and joys of the future. We are not condemned to hold onto a narrowed conception of ourselves, one that constrains our

potential in life and our potential for happiness. We need not repeat maladaptive and self-defeating behaviour. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician. His Internet show can be heard on www. mediaontap.com.

n the practice of medicine, physicians must keep an open mind. Though a patient’s presenting symptoms and physical signs may point to the common or obvious, we maintain a differential diagnosis. Narrowing our focus too early will limit the scope of our vision. We will miss important clues and possibly the correct diagnosis. Astute and experienced physicians will heed their intuition and listen to that feeling of unease when something doesn’t fit. Privy to my patients’ stories and secrets, struggles and dreams, I’ve learned not to make quick generalizations about others. A complete and complex personality with a network of relationships lies just beneath the surface. But much of the time, most people skim the surface. Beneath the surface lies the back story. It can be a story of abandoned dreams, trauma and loss. It can be a vision of courage and hope. Most of us don’t share this side of ourselves, and many do not acknowledge its impact on our present lives. How much of your sense of self is tied to the past? Do the voices of your childhood speak to you still? Your emotional environment can make the difference between depression and happiness, anxiety and confidence, anger and peace. How we are treated at school, at work, in the playground and in our homes influences how we feel and think about ourselves. If the words we hear each day tell us we are not good enough or deserving of happiness or if we are overwhelmed by stress and negativity, we will not find peace. The words you hear today may be echoes from the past. How your parents, grandparents, teachers and siblings spoke to you shaped your self-conception. In the first two decades of your life, you adopted core beliefs about yourself, your world and your relationships to others. You were told who you were, and this may have been a mixture of the

The sweet pea lowdown GREEN SCENE

Anne Marrison

weet peas and their relatives are among the most beautiful of plant families, and, if you pick them frequently, many kinds are reliable flowerers through late spring, summer and fall. Generally, they take up almost no garden space, since most are climbers that try to haul themselves up into the sunshine by their thin, wiry tendrils. Largespace gardeners often grow them in lines (like garden peas), flower beds or cutting gardens. An obelisk or the type of teepee used for beans is also a good way to display sweet peas, but since pea tendrils don’t grab onto thick stakes, any teepee or obelisk will also need pea netting or something similar. I was in a garden once where an umbrella-shaped teepee of living willow saplings was a home for sweet peas every year. It was a lovely structure although the amount of hard work

involved was impressive, as the willow’s lower side branches had to be pruned frequently. Sweet peas are annuals that love rich soil and a good watering once a week. Organic matter in the soil, such as manure, Sea Soil or compost helps keep the plant healthy and flowers coming. Mulching also helps to retain moisture. Sweet peas like gentle moisture but hate having water-soaked soil hanging round their roots for long periods. Because they don’t like being transplanted, sweet peas are usually grown from seed, either started inside in winter or outside very early in spring. Coastal gardeners sometimes plant the seeds outside in fall. These have such a hard coat (like lupins) that they need to be soaked or cut slightly with a knife or rubbed gently between two sheets of sandpaper. Because of their transplant problems, peat pots or newspaper pots are the best way to start sweet pea seeds inside. With compostable type pots, each rim must be well-buried to stop it from drying out and wicking dryness down around the

roots. Also, if peat or newspaper pots are left intact in and the soil is allowed to dry too much, the pot can fail to decay and pea roots can get imprisoned. That’s why it’s important to rip the sides of compostable pots during planting outside. Plant breeders have now created sweet peas in unusual colours such as apricot sprite, royal navy blue and deep maroon-red midnight. There are also bicolours such as the streamer series in lavender, orange, chocolate, pink and scarlet all striped with white and new habits of growth such as the dwarf knee-high types which stand alone. Some of the new types also have no fragrance while others have a light fragrance which sometimes means a fragrance that’s almost undetectable. The more intense fragrances are usually concentrated in the heirloom types. These include the old spice mix, the painted lady strain in bicolour pink and white and the ancient Matucana variety with small purple blooms said to resemble the original, wild sweet pea from Sicily.

Junior Lakers remain on top after three-point weekend Tom Berridge sports editor

There was nothing pretty about Burnaby’s 7-1 win over the Langley Thunder Sunday. The positives were a W and a three-point lead in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League. After a scoreless first period, the junior Lakers broke the ice with the first of three goals in the middle frame from 20-year-old rookie Jordan Jarvis, a Saskatchewan product. On Friday, the Lakers drew 8-8 in overtime with the Port Coquitlam Saints. Jaxson Lee continued to carry a hot stick, potting his second hat trick of the campaign and 13th tally of the season in the tie. Patrick Bayliss stopped 44 Saints shots in the draw as PoCo outshot the visiting Lakers 52-41. “We didn’t capitalize on our chances very well,” said Jarvis, who did not play in the PoCo game. “We have talent, we just have to keep the ball moving.” Blake Mattinson, who scored a great goal to the top right corner of the net, and Mackenzie Davis, while three-on-three, accounted for the only goals in the third period

Governor to have jersey retired The junior A New Westminster Salmonbellies lacrosse club will officially retire the No. 6 jersey of team governor Walt Weaver on June 1. The ceremony will take place during the first intermission of the B.C. junior A match between New Westminster and the Coquitlam Adanacs at Queen’s Park Arena. Weaver played five seasons for the junior A Salmonbellies from 1968 to 1972, when the club played across the Fraser River as the Surrey Salmonbellies.

The three-year team captain won backto-back scoring championships in 1970 and again in ‘71, while finishing runner-up in 1972. Weaver tallied 122 points in 1970, but his best goal output was in 1969, when he potted a career-high 56 goals in the old Inter-City league. Weaver also shared in a Minto Cup championship in 1971 with the Richmond Roadrunners as a post-season pickup. The current junior Salmonbellies club president ranks second in all-time club scoring with 419 total points.

Burnaby Laker first overall draft pick, Kevin Crowley, scored three times to help Stony Brook University go through to the second round at the NCAA field lacrosse championships May 15. Crowley, who has scored at least three goals in seven of his last eight games, helped the eighth-ranked Stony Brook Seawolves to a 9-7 win over the University of Denver in opening round action at the 16-team championship tournament. Crowley’s hat trick goal gave the Stony Brook junior 49 tallies this season, just one shy of the school’s all-time record of 50 tallies in a single season currently held by alumnus Kevin Pall. Earlier, Crowley, the unanimous choice for America East player of the year, was named one of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Award given to the most outstanding player in Div. I lacrosse each season. Stony Brook will meet No. 1 Virginia Sunday.

Central gives Argyle a match Tom Berridge sports editor

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Strong man: Local shotputter Tom Willcox, who is attending the University of Memphis, competes in the inaugural SFU Emilie Mondor Invitational track meet.

Burnaby Central gave No. 1-ranked Argyle a run for its money following a 3-2 loss in AAA girls’ high school zone soccer final Monday. Central weathered an early Argyle onslaught, falling behind 2-0 in the opening five minutes before coming back to tie the match midway through the second half. Tessa Barbour cut the deficit to a single goal, stepping into a loose ball near the 18-yard box and slotting a low shot by the North Shore keeper. The score remained 2-1 at halftime.

Kim Van Duynhoven tied things up in the second half on a goal-mouth scramble, but just minutes later Argyle was fortunate to have a well-placed shot beat a diving Yvonne Riopel in the Wildcat cage. Central pressed forward, but to no avail. Alisha Penev had a shot off a half-break go wide off the keeper’s glove. Amanda Van Duynhoven also had a late chance, which was well taken by the Argyle keeper. “We started out a little slow today. … But after our first two goals we felt good about getting it back,” said Kim. “We

just have to go out hard (Wednesday) and give it our best shot.” Argyle qualified for the provincial high school championships as the No. 1 zone seed. Central can earn a second zone berth into the B.C.s today (Wednesday) against North Shore No. 2 Handsworth Royals. Game time is 3 p.m. at Burnaby Lake-West. The Royals scored on their one good shot to defeat New Westminster 1-0 in the other semifinal. “That’s all they had, one shot,” said volunteer Hyacks coach Paul Meyers. “We had pressure. We should have beat them.”

Lakers: A’s on Friday continued from page 21

including the only goal in extra time. The Lakers played catchup through most of the contest. Stevens potted his third and fourth goals of the season after the home team had taken an early 2-0 advantage. The two teams traded goals to finish the period knotted at 4-4. In the second period, Maple Ridge started quickly again, scoring three times in a two-minute span. But the Lakers kept in the game with a counter from Rory McDade and then finished the period with a string of three unanswered goals, one from Mike Brascia and two more from Stevens to again draw even. Chase Williams gave the visitors a momentary 98 lead to start the final frame, but it took Dhaliwal’s game-tying marker with four ticks left on the clock to give the Lakers a second life in overtime. Stevens scored his lucky seventh tally of the year from third star Calvin Craig at 6:18 of extra time. Burnaby hosts the Coquitlam Adanacs at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre Friday. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Cleaning crew sweeps up neighbourhood Groups and individuals come out to do their part Niki Hope EDMONDS EXPRESS Community members came together this month to give the neighbourhood a good cleaning. The Clean Sweep was held on Saturday, May 1 at Eastburn Community Centre on Edmonds Street and along the Byrne Creek ravine. The Edmonds Business and Community Association hosted the clean sweep. Many individuals and groups participated in the clean-up, including Byrne Creek Streamkeepers, the Boy Scouts, city staff, local politicians, churches, businesses, RCMP, the firefighters union and anti-graffiti task force volunteers. Clean Sweeps are held twice a year and always fall on the first Saturday of May and October, rain or shine.

From top left to right, Members of the Kouwenhovens and Butterﬁeld clans, from Hemlock Printers, take part in the clean-up. Three-year-old Mateo Ramirez gets geared up to clean. Byrne Creek Streamkeepers Jane Burkholder, left, John Walker, Abby Schwartz and members of the Yamaguchi family take a break from cleaning to pose for a picture. PHOTOS Contributed
