THREE INJURED

Stabbing at party Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Three people were stabbed at a gathering at a residence in the 6600block of Dufferin Avenue Monday night, just after midnight. Burnaby RCMP responded to a report of two women, 17 and 22 years old, being stabbed and discovered a third victim, an 18-year-old man, at the scene. A 22-year-old female is facing charges of aggravated assault in connection to the stabbings. She is related to one of the victims, according to Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP. All the people involved knew each other, she added. “It was a small gathering at a house, and something went terribly wrong,” Gresiuk said, adding that the young ages of the victims make the incident particularly unfortunate. All three victims sustained nonlife threatening injuries and will be released from hospital today, Gresiuk said. Alcohol was a factor in the stabbings, she said, and many of the people at the gathering were intoxicated.

Group says city business taxes too high Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby’s businesses pay four times the amount of property taxes on the same-sized properties that residents do, according to a report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses. The report on the 2009 tax rates came

out just three weeks before Burnaby’s 2010 property taxes are due on July 5. The report was released on Tuesday. “Burnaby is the 11th worst municipality out of 160 in B.C.,” said Brian Bonney, B.C. director for the federation. Residents paid $3,293 on a property worth $692,205 in 2009, according to the report, and businesses paid $13,163 on

properties of the same worth. Most local business owners agree that businesses should pay more in taxes, Bonney explained, but feel the large discrepancy in the rates is unfair. Forty-two per cent of business owners in the study felt that they should pay up to double the residential rates. “They want to pay their way,” Bonney

said. “But it’s about what’s fair.” Part of the problem for small to medium businesses is that the recession also hit them hard, he added. Many small business owners did not pay themselves over the past year in an effort to keep their employees, Bonney said. Taxes Page 8

6 Liberals take a hit HST PETITIONS

Burnaby ridings hit the target Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

First they hit the 10 per cent mark, now they’re in the safe zone. The antiHST petition has garnered 15 per cent of signatures in all of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. The news came following the campaign’s latest signature counts from last weekend. “These are amazing numbers and prove unequivocally that British Columbians of every persuasion reject the HST,” said Chris Delaney, lead organizer for Fight HST. Petition canvassers had until July 5 to collect 10 per cent of signatures in the province’s electoral ridings for the petition to go to the next step. They were aiming for 15 per cent to be on the safe side in case some of the signatures are not valid. Delaney said Burnaby did really well. “I think there was only one (riding) that was somewhat behind, which was Burnaby-Deer Lake, and they hit their target last weekend,” he said, adding that the other three ridings already cleared 15 per cent. “Burnaby did amazing when you consider they to started kind of late.” Canvassers will keep at it until June 27 and then submit the petition to Elections B.C. for review on June 30, about a week ahead of schedule. Delaney said while he knew very early on that there was a huge public backlash against the tax, anti-HST organizers weren’t sure if they could sustain public interest in the campaign over a three-month period. “What kept the momentum going was the Liberal government itself,” he said, adding that people became angrier every time Premier Gordon Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen tried to defend the tax. “That actually played to our benefit.” Blair Lekstrom’s recent resignation from the Liberal party because of public opposition to the HST gave the campaign “another shot in the arm,” Delaney said. Delaney is urging the provincial government to drop the HST as soon as possible. The 12 per cent harmonized tax is scheduled to take effect July 1.

METRO VANCOUVER WASTE PLAN

City wants garbage eco-equity Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Burnaby city council is asking that Metro Vancouver’s waste plan be revised to provide funding to cities that already have eco-centres. Council is also asking that Metro Vancouver give preference to regional operators for any new waste management

facility for the region, but did not specify whether or not Burnaby would prefer an incinerator or land fill option for the new facility. “We’re asking, for the Eco-Centres, for there to be equity there,” said Coun, Dan Johnston, chair of the environment committee. Under Metro Vancouver’s proposed plan, recycling drop-off depots, or Eco-

Centres, would be established in each region. Burnaby is asking that municipalities with current recycling drop-off depots, such as Burnaby, be given funding to upgrade the facilities as well. “I think we should get a similar deal to what they (other municipalities, such as Surrey) are getting,” Johnston said.

City plans park pooch patrols Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Burnaby’s parks, recreation and culture department will be conducting animal control patrols in Burnaby parks this summer, according to director Dave Ellenwood. The department has hired on a part-time auxiliary person. The cost for the position is about $25,000, which is what the department was paying the Burnaby branch of the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to conduct the summer patrols in past years, he said. “We’re going to take them on now.”

The new position means that the patrols will be more adaptable, and the staff person can visit parks in the evenings or on weekdays, and respond to specific complaints, Ellenwood added. In the past, the B.C. SPCA would patrol the parks from July 1 to Labour Day on a five-day rotating schedule. The department’s patrols will run from April 30 through September 20, with a rotating schedule covering day shifts, afternoon shifts and weekends. Often when dog owners are approached by patrollers about local bylaws, they will say they can’t see the signage in the park,

Zellers Mark’s Work Wearhouse Paris Jewellers* Visions* The Bay* Shoppers Drug Mart* M&M Meats* * not in all areas

Ellenwood said. Parks staff can remedy that by making the signage more visible, while the SPCA could not, and had to put calls into the parks department. The most common complaints the department receives involve dogs off leash, owners not picking up after their dogs, dogs on sports fields and trails, and loud dogs at dog parks. Currently parks receiving the most attention are Ron McLean, David Gray, Deer Lake, Robert Burnaby, Barnet Beach

Waste: Public input wanted on Metro Vancouver garbage plans continued from page 3

It would cost $300,000 to fund three additional fulltime staff to accommodate the region’s goal of recycling 70 per cent of waste materials, according to a report from the environment committee. The region is also badly in need of a new waste facility. Burnaby council is asking the regional government to give local companies preference when looking for a new operator. “The incinerator or landfill, whatever option they go with, should be run by someone within the region,” Johnston said. The issue of whether a landfill or incinerator would be best for the region has been a hot topic as Metro Vancouver has conducted public consultations in its integrated solid waste and resource management plan. Johnston pointed out that landfills are rarely popular and trying to establish a new one in the region has been challenging. He would prefer some kind of recovery system but did not specifically back an additional incinerator in the region. The city currently has Metro Vancouver’s only waste-to-energy incinerator, located in South Burnaby. Johnston pointed out that the air quality standards at the Burnaby incinerator are three times what they were when the facility opened. Mayor Derek Corrigan was not available for comment on the issue. Metro Vancouver’s ini-

an evening after a late-night sporting event, and the level of verbal hatred is shocking. Not to mention the antiwoman slurs – which are another editorial entirely. Do those verbal assaults always transform into physical attacks? Certainly not. But it does offer a real insight into what has become “acceptable” in public places. Part of the rise in reports may be due to the Vancouver Police Department’s record for taking such things seriously.

Victims are more likely to report crimes if they are listened to. Perhaps it’s a combination of a more inclusive police force and more hate crimes. Perhaps tougher times bring out the worst in some folks. Those who feel disenfranchised and angry often look for the “easy” target. Society is doing a much better job of protecting those targets through the courts – be they women, children or minorities. But it appears that there is still much to do.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Environmental oversight lacking Dear Editor:

Petroleum from the Chevron oil refinery at Burrard Inlet has been seeping through the ground since at least April, when the company claims to have informed the Ministry of Environment. But the general public didn’t learn about the leak until late May, when it was reported in the news. More than a week later, the B.C. Liberals still don’t seem to know when the seepage began, where the petroleum is coming from or how much petroleum has contaminated the soil and Burrard Inlet. Burnaby residents deserve to know exactly when the B.C. Liberal government found out about the seepage, why the government didn’t tell them about the ongoing incident and why the B.C. Liberal gov-

ernment still doesn’t have a grasp of the situation. The B.C. Liberal government has cut the protection branch of the Ministry of Environment by 34 per cent since 2008 and has relied on self-reporting from Chevron. The government’s capacity to be on the ground and properly oversee and manage containment and recovery has greatly diminished. The incident in the Gulf of Mexico should be a warning that the B.C. government must have the ability to make sure these sorts of incidents don’t happen, and if they do, they are contained quickly. Another incident at the oil refinery or a spill due to the greater amount of oil being transported in the inlet could be catastrophic.

WEIGHT LOSS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor:

Re: Police to remove vagrants, Burnaby NOW, June 12. Once again, Mayor Derek Corrigan demonstrates his inability to understand public finance or progressive social policy. Our mayor proposes to pay city workers and RCMP officers to “move” the homeless from Central Park and to remove their temporary shelters from the forest, when he could instead use these funds to find the homeless proper shelter in Burnaby so that they would move themselves. How shortsighted can he be? Presumably Mayor Corrigan has calculated the full potential costs of his plan. Or perhaps not. In which case local taxpayers should be demanding refunds. Your reporter, Ms. Fuller-Evans, notes that Burnaby has a bylaw prohibiting overnight camping in Burnaby parks. The implication is that this bylaw offers legal cover for the removals. Such bylaws did not help the City of Victoria. Your readers may recall that, in October 2008, when Victoria attempted to

New Democrats and their anti-HST allies are salivating at what they see as an eventual avalanche of dissent, as one Liberal MLA after another bolts from their leader. But I wonder how many will actually take the giant step that Lekstrom has taken. For one thing, quitting a caucus consigns an MLA to near-oblivion status. And leaving the caucus may not ensure an MLA is still electable in 2013, just because he or she has broken ranks with the HST. However, we are in uncharted waters right now. Trying to predict the political future of government MLAs is a fool’s errand these days. What is really unknown is the depth of loyalty certain newly elected MLAs have to Campbell and the B.C. Liberal brand. These

are the people to keep an eye on. Rookie B.C. Liberal MLAs such as John Slater, Pat Pimm, Terry Lake, Eric Foster, Donna Barnett and Don McRae appear to be most vulnerable to successful recall campaigns. For the most part, they represent rural ridings that encompass regions that once voted for the old federal Reform Party in large numbers and are particularly incensed over the HST. It is these MLAs who will feel the most pressure in the weeks ahead, and if they are staring down the barrel at recall or certain defeat in 2013, they may take a walk from the caucus. If just two of them quit, they could join Lekstrom and fellow independent MLA Vicki Huntington and gain official party status in the legislature. That could provide the basis on

which to build a credible third-party alternative in this province. But I wouldn’t bet the farm on anyone else leaving just yet. There’s going to be a lot of handholding occurring in the B.C. Liberal caucus in the weeks ahead, as the premier and senior cabinet ministers try to calm the waters and implore everyone to stick together. They will all be watched closely over the summer. Lekstrom has opened the door to a path that could see the government fall apart, or he has simply consigned himself to the lonely life of an independent MLA.

enforce its bylaws against erecting temporary shelters in public parks (by removing an offending tent city) the residents of the tent city challenged the constitutionality of these bylaws in B.C. Supreme Court – and won. In December 2009, the Court of Appeal affirmed that judgement, noting that Victoria can prohibit “constructed” shelters in its parks only when there are enough local shelter beds available for all local homeless persons. At such times the bylaws can revert to their original wording and be found constitutional. Mayor Corrigan knows that Burnaby hosts no emergency shelter beds. He should understand that Burnaby may be wide open to legal challenge if he goes ahead with his action to remove the homeless and their temporary shelters from Central Park. Why not simply spare long-suffering city taxpayers the cost of litigating against precedent (now affirmed in the Court of Appeal) and instead use the money to bring Burnaby into the 21st century by putting civic funds into a local emergency shelter?

“Small businesses did everything they could to hold on to staff.” He called property taxes “profit-insensitive.” “If it was income-dependent, businesses wouldn’t worry,” Bonney said. One Burnaby business owner, who would not speak to the press, told Bonney his municipal taxes went up by 30 per cent, and the business had to lay off an apprentice because of it, he said. According to the federation’s statistics, 85 per cent of businesses in Burnaby have

fewer than five staff members. The federation would like municipalities to cap the property tax at two to one and freeze property taxes on business properties. It is asking the provincial government to enact legislation requiring municipalities that have not done so to reduce business property taxes by 2012.

Dogs: City planning to patrol local parks continued from page 3

and Burnaby Heights parks, according to a report Ellenwood sent to city council. Burnaby Heights Park was mentioned in a Burnaby NOW story, which ran on May 1 (Dog owner irate over warnings). Dog owner Sean MacLeay was upset that warnings about having dogs off-leash were being issued in the park, which is slated to have a dog park in the near future. Burnaby Heights resident Lyle Reid responded to that article, saying dog owners at the park were irresponsible. Large, aggressive dogs were let off-leash in the area, Reid said in a phone interview after the article ran. He pointed out that there is a children’s playground at the park, and he said off-leash dogs were running around the kids. Dog owners did not follow the local bylaw signs posted at the park, he added. “They run roughshod over them,” Reid said. “They’re not obeying the law.” In the first nine days of the new patrol program, the patrol spoke with 167 dog owners and a number of regular park users without dogs, the parks report stated. Under the new adjudication system, parks staff can issue fines, but that is only used as a last resort, Ellenwood said. Staff at the B.C. SPCA, which just had its contract with the city renewed for three more years, would not confirm it would no longer be conducting the patrols before press time. The new contract, which runs until December 2012, pays the B.C. SPCA $494,320 this year for services as the city’s shelter

operator. This is a seven per cent increase over last year, due to a Consumer Price Index increase and a new management fee, according to a report from the finance department, which

was presented to council at Monday night’s meeting. The B.C. SPCA services include operating the shelter, enforcing bylaws, investigating animal attacks, caring for injured animals and removing dead animals

from city streets, as well as selling dog licences on behalf of the city. The shelter is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.

Volunteers bring hope and healing Months after a 7.0 earthquake destroyed much of Haiti, Alex Wong gets a first-hand look at the country Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Alex Wong leans back on the couch with a coffee in the lounge area near the front entrance of Vancouver General Hospital. With his spiky black hair and calm demeanour, the 28-year-old intensive care unit nurse recalls his recent trip to Haiti. Back in January, when he heard about the 7.0 earthquake that left the impoverished nation in absolute ruins, he wanted to do something, so he sought a group that could put him on the ground to help with what he does best: nursing. He found Canadian Medical Assistance Teams, an organization that sends teams of medics to communities affected by disasters, conflict and poverty. On May 3, Wong left his Burnaby home to head to Haiti and join a team at a medical clinic in Pétionville, just outside of Portau-Prince, the country’s capital. Wong is no stranger to humanitarian work; he helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity in the Honduras. But landing in Haiti was still shocking four months after the quake. “The first two days were the hardest,” Wong says. “It was rough. It was hot, it was humid. There were piles of rubble everywhere.” Anywhere there is open space, people have set up tarps and tents since many homes and buildings were destroyed and still lay in ruins. When you walk down the streets, people call after you, desperate for anything: food, money, water and attention.

Photos contributed/burnaby now

Helping hands: Burnaby resident and nurse Alex Wong, right, with Dr. Rashad Chin and a little girl who came for help at the medical clinic where Wong was volunteering in Haiti. The clinic Wong worked in was in the midst of a tent-city set up on top of what used to be a country club and golf course. About 50,000 people live under makeshift shelters. The clinic was run by the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, an organization founded by actor Sean Penn. Roughly staffed by 12 to 14 volunteers at any given time, they processed about 250 people a day

through the clinic. That’s enough to fill a day’s worth of hospital emergency department visits for a medium-sized city – and this is just one clinic, Wong points out. Although it’s been months since the quake hit, people are still in dire need of medical help. Wong saw people coming in to the clinic with post-traumatic stress, nightmares and insomnia. The medical problems aren’t so much about physical trauma, they’re more about the living conditions. The majority of cases involved dehydration, kids with scabies or worms, and staph infections. There’s also the threat of diseases spreading, including diphtheria, a potentially deadly bacterial infection. “We saved a few lives, especially babies who would not have gotten the care if we hadn’t been there,” he says. Major trauma cases would get sent to the main hospital, which is still damaged from the quake, and women were giving birth on the steps of the maternity hospital. When asked what the hardest part of the trip was, Wong takes a long pause before describing a painful case that happened the day before he arrived. “A child came in with diphthe-

ria. I think he was a 13-year-old boy. We shipped him off to the hospital for more advanced treatment,” Wong says. There was only one dose to treat diphtheria in the entire country because they just don’t have the infrastructure to deal with the disaster. “We didn’t find it till after he died.” While the treatment is expensive and hard to come by in Haiti, at VGH, they wouldn’t think twice about administering it, he adds. That’s just one part of the whole experience that made Wong realize how lucky we are as Canadians. “We take things for granted. Health care is at our fingertips,” he says. When asked how he copes with all the suffering, Wong says: “You’re fighting an uphill battle, but if I didn’t go, that would be one less person who cared and that many fewer people whose lives I’ve touched.” The best part of the trip was all the smiles from the kids. “The way they look at you, it’s almost like you’re from another planet, they look at you with amazement. They know you’re there to help,” he says. “These people have nothing. They lost their families, they lost their

homes, they lost all their belongings. The future looks bleak, yet life goes on. … Through it all, they still find the strength to smile.” Paramedic Bill Coltart is the Western regional director for Canadian Medical Assistance Teams. He’s been to Haiti twice and says the volunteers give a lot to help. “The Canadian volunteers who in fact go down are some of the most generous people I’ve ever met,” he says. “These people are just unbelievable humanitarians.” But with Haiti’s rainy season already starting, hurricanes likely on the way and so many people living in tents, the mixture is ripe for a mass outbreak of disease, Coltart says. People need homes, not a couple of two-by-fours and a tarp in the park, he adds. “You’re not seeing Haiti on the news every night anymore. People tend to think the disaster is over. That certainly is not the case,” he says. “These people still need a lot of help.” Wong returned home May 19, but he’s still urging people to donate to Canadian Medical Assistance Teams.

Lessons from a reunion HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

ecently, 80 of my classmates from Burnaby North came together for a reunion at Anducci’s. In terms of the decades that have passed since graduation, the short span of five years we went to high school doesn’t seem that significant. Yet it was during a critical time in our lives. As adolescents, our brains, bodies and emotions were changing, growing and breaking out. Though we may not have been fighting with one another, we wrestled with our own emotions, our self-esteem and our sense of self-worth. During high school, many of us had our first loves and met our best friends. We had many situational friends, classmates and teammates we once hung out with but from whom we would eventually drift away. We learned to deal with nice and not-so-nice people, bullies and prejudice. Whether we were visible minorities or not, we were all either victims or perpetrators of prejudice; we judged and treated one another according to superficial appearances – how we looked and how we dressed. High school somehow tolerated intolerance and mean-spirited behaviour more than most preschools, elementary schools, colleges and workplaces do. However, as my adult patients relate to me, bullies manage to continue their bad behaviour in the adult world in many companies. We create psychological constructs or simplifications of reality to make sense of our world. We often do this with the most changeable of entities, other human beings. We might recognize how much we change, but we often assume that oth-

ers don’t. So our memories and feelings about old classmates can be as black and white as their old high school photos. We remember them as we thought they were. We can hold rigid caricatures of high school characters. Though they may seem larger than life in our minds, in reality they are complex individuals with qualities more grey and coloured than black and white. Our memories for those years are also focused and incomplete. In our minds, we can make minor events bigger than life. Talking to old classmates, we discover that we each remember

events a little differently. We remember selectively, sometimes incorrectly. Others remembered things that may not have seemed that important to us. A reunion can allow us to correct the blindspots in our memories of those impressionable, formative years of our lives and our narrowed characterizations of our classmates, and, as you’ll see in my next column, while sharing our lives as adults, we can transform the way we see one another – and our own selves. Dr. Davidicus Wong’s Internet radio show can be heard on positiveworldradio network.weearth.com.

THE DISH

Alfie Lau

’ve eaten a lot of things in my life: some good, some not so much. But until I tried Jacky Tran’s signature dish at Japolo Sushi at 218-3355 North Rd., I had never tried a sushi burger. And now, without sounding too crazy, I’ll have to say the sushi burger is one of the top three things I’ve ever eaten. “I got the idea when I was in Toronto and saw sushi pizza,” said Tran of the dish that’s also on the Japolo menu. “I thought if you can use pressed sushi as a pizza crust, why can’t I use it for the bun in a burger?” With a little experimenting, Tran came up with the perfect recipe for a sushi burger.

He takes sushi rice, presses it tight and then breads it before deep-frying it. But it’s not just the bun that makes the Japolo sushi burger so good. Inside, Tran puts a selection of seafood, from smoked salmon to imitation crab meat and tobiko, mixed nicely with some lettuce, light mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. Served in four quarters, I couldn’t believe how tasty the burger was. The bun didn’t fall apart –Tran admits it took him some time to find the right consistency – and the seafood flavours came out in every bite. The dish is so good – and Tran has tough quality control – that it’s not on the take-out menu. And why would you not want to spend time with Jacky and his family, who have run Japolo in Burnaby for the past 15 years and recently opened a Pho Japolo sister store in North Vancouver. “We’re actually

Vietnamese, and we wanted to have a nice mix of Japanese and Vietnamese dishes on the menu,” said Jacky, who credits mom Huong with giving him his culinary education. I’m sure the pho is very good, but I had my hands full with the Japanese dishes – all told, there are more than 200 choices at Japolo. I knew the sushi burger was a must-eat, but then I spied Tran with a blowtorch. Wiping my eyes to make sure I was seeing right, I told my server, Jacky’s wife, Tianna, to bring me one of what Jacky was preparing. “That’s the platinum roll,” she said. “It’s one of our most popular dishes, with salmon, crab meat, cucumber, avocado and tobiko on the inside and thinly sliced snapper as the outside wrap. “What Jacky’s doing is, he spreads mayonnaise on the outside, and, with the blowtorch, he burns off all the oil, and what you’re

Even on the regular menu, one of my co-workers swears that Japolo’s beef sashimi is the best in the Lower Mainland, while another invoked the gomaae (sesame and spinach salad) test: If a Japanese restaurant can’t make good gomaae, it

probably fails with a lot of other dishes. After she gave me the thumbs-up on Japolo’s gomaae, how could I not keep coming back? ◆ Alfie’s dining tip: Combos and dinner boats are the best choice if you’re sharing or just can’t make up your mind. For my money, the $15.50 dinner box A, with tempura, oyster motoyaki, beef or chicken teriyaki, four pieces of sushi and three pieces of California roll is tough to beat. Japolo Sushi is located at 218-3355 North Rd. It’s open for lunch Monday to Saturday , 11:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Japolo is open for dinner from 4:30 p.m. seven days a week. Call 604-420-8978.

left with is the platinum roll.” You don’t have to be Mike Holmes to appreciate anything created with a blowtorch, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed when the mouth-watering dish literally melted in my mouth. The snapper was silky smooth and worked well with the salmon. The remnants of the mayo were surprisingly sweet and meshed well with the cucumber and avocado. “It’s like a party in your mouth, isn’t it?” said Tianna. With my mouth full, I could only nod approvingly. But no doubt the highlight was watching Jacky with the blowtorch, with the widest eyes belonging to his eight-year-old son Jaden, a student at Kitchener Elementary. Jaden even has a dish named after him, the Jaden Roll, which features gomaae on the inside and avocado slices on the outside. “I haven’t even tried it yet,” said Jaden. “I think my dad named it after me because it’s green.” Instead, Jaden helped me eat another of Jacky’s creations, the mango surprise, which is a specialty roll that features a big mango slice in the middle, surrounded by unagi, prawns and tempura.

Youth custody centre celebrates grad O

n June 8, four young offenders celebrated their high school graduation at the Burnaby Youth Custody Services Centre. The Burnaby school district runs Fraser Park Secondary, the provincial prison’s in-house high school program. “One of the kids did a very excellent speech on how it’s changed his life. He’s so much more positive about life, and it’s opened up new doors for him now that he has his Grade 12,” said Andrew Cronkhite, the prison’s director of programs. In all, there were six grads for the year – two had graduated earlier, but they are already out of custody and did not attend the ceremony.

Knox walks

Burnaby’s John Knox Christian School raised $35,300 and counting with its annual “Knox Walks” fundraiser on June 4. That’s a record for the private school, which is using the money to help pay for its new building. Ten per cent of what the school raises each year goes to Living Stones Village, an orphanage for disabled and abandoned children in China’s Guangxi region. To raise money, teachers, students and parents

walked about five kilometers on the Queen’s Park Millennium Trail. All of the school’s 313 students, from kindergarten to Grade 8, participate in Knox Walks by gathering sponsorships from friends, family and neighbours.

Cronkhite said six grads is a high number for the centre, since most of the youth aren’t in prison long enough to finish the courses. A lot of the kids are also behind a grade or two and are making up for lost time in the public school system, he added. Parents, probation officers and community members attended and were all very supportive and proud of their kids graduating, Cronkhite said.

Grassroots football programs let fans of all ages link up with the Lions

With the 2010 football season now underway, BC Lions fans will soon be heading to Empire Field for the season home opener versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday, July 10. But Lions’ action isn’t limited to the ﬁeld. The team’s grassroots football programs are focused on linking the team with people throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, allowing the Lions and fans of all ages to share their love of football. “I have been involved with our grassroots football programs for many seasons now,” says Lions slotback and fan favourite Geroy Simon. “Having an opportunity to share our love of the game with our fans throughout B.C. is a great way to give back to our community and gives us a chance to get to know our fans too!”

PUNT, PASS & KICK Punt, Pass & Kick is a program designed to provide an opportunity for minor football players to test their skills in punting, passing and kicking while reinforcing their love of football. In 2009, the BC Lions, Tim Hortons, and BC Community Football hosted competitions in 15 districts in the Lower Mainland where players at the Flag (ages 67), Atom (ages 8-9), Peewee (ages 10-11) and Junior Bantam (12-13) levels had the opportunity to show off their skills and compete for an individual title. The 2010 Punt, Pass & Kick program will kick off in June, with the ﬁnals slated for the fall. For more information about the Punt, Pass & Kick program, please contact the BC Lions Football Club at 604.930.5466. PLAY WITH THE PROS Play with the Pros matches BC Lions players with boys and girls, providing them with an opportunity to participate in a non-contact skills clinic hosted by their favourite BC Lions players. The participants are divided into groups and rotate through various skill stations every 10-15 minutes. One player, one alumnus and one volunteer coach (local high school or community) are assigned per station, teaching skills such as passing, receiving, pass routes and proper running techniques. The program will continue with similar visits in 2010 with the ﬁrst 2010 Play with the Pros clinic taking place on June 27 at the club’s Surrey practice facility. For more information about the Lions’ Play with the Pros program, please contact the club at 604.930.5466. TIMBITS FOOTBALL CAMP The Timbits Football Camp is a free clinic for boys and girls between 6 and 12 years old. The program offers these children the chance to learn the basic skills of football and to play with their BC Lions heroes. Last year, more than 400 boys and girls took part in the camp. The 2010 Timbits Football Camp will take place on Aug. 29. For more information about the Lions’ Timbits Football Camp, please contact the club at 604.930.5466. FOOTBALL 101 Football 101 is a course designed exclusively for women who want to learn more about the CFL game. For just $50 (plus tax), participants receive a BC Lions T-

shirt, a Football 101 manual and a game ticket to a BC Lions home game, which includes viewing the pre-game warm-up and a “chalk talk” with former BC Lions great Jamie Taras. In 2009, the BC Lions welcomed close to 150 women of all ages during two sessions of Football 101. In 2010, the BC Lions will once again host two sessions of this popular “just-for ladies” event – on Wednesday, Aug. 4 and Wednesday, Oct. 13. To register, please contact the club at 604.930.5466.

It gives them an opportunity to run through drills and exercises similar to the ones BC Lions players engage in throughout the season. In 2009, more than 60 women hit the ﬁeld as part of the program. Football 202 gives women the opportunity to learn the basics of passing, receiving, kicking, and much more from their very own BC Lions. In 2010, Football 202 will take place on Sunday, Aug. 22. To register, contact the club at 604.930.5466.

FOOTBALL 202 Football 202 is an on-ﬁeld, interactive course just for women.

For tickets, check out www.bclions.com or call 604589-ROAR.

How to spy on teen driver CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I’m a concerned mom. Our spirited 16-year-old daughter will soon have her driver’s licence. We subscribe to the Reaganesque philosophy of “trust but verify” when it comes to raising teenagers. Is there a covert car-tracking device or service that you recommend that would provide us with the ability to locate the vehicle on demand via email or SMS (Short Message Service)? Thanks for your help! –Blair TOM: Spirited. Gotcha. Yes, there are such devices. But I would encourage you to go overt rather than covert. RAY: Right. The idea is not to “catch” your little juvenile delinquent driving 80 m.p.h. through a school zone; the idea is to teach her not to do that. There are several devices on the market that provide feedback to the driver in real time, in addition to tattling.

TOM: One we particularly like is called Tiwi. It’s a global positioning systembased computer that costs about $200. You also pay a monthly subscription fee of about $40. But what it allows you to do is set your own rules. So if you decide that your daughter is allowed to go only five m.p.h. over the speed limit, the unit will alert her when she’s broken that rule, and also will alert you immediately – by phone, e-mail or text message. RAY: By giving her instant feedback, she’s given a strong incentive to start following the rules. TOM: There are other “black box” or EDR (event data recorder) devices, and you can find many of them on the Internet. Some provide instant feedback to the driver and reporting to a parent; others just collect the data and offer it to you via a website. RAY: But the cool thing about Tiwi is that, because it’s one of the GPS-based systems, it knows the speed limit of whatever road she’s on at that moment. TOM: Tiwi also allows you to set “no go” zones with the GPS so that it will let you know when, for example, your daughter leaves the immediate area.

Or wanders into her boyfriend’s neighborhood. RAY: She’s going to hate this thing, Blair! It is intrusive. But the stakes are so high in the case of a new teen driver (life and death) that some parents may decide that the invasion of privacy is worth it, at least for the first few years of driving.

Juniors tie with unbeaten ’Bellies Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers scored two goals on two shots in overtime to salvage a single point in B.C. Junior Lacrosse League play Sunday. The junior A Lakers drew for the second time this season, tying the unbeaten New Westminster Salmonbellies 8-8 at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. The draw was a timely one point for the Lakers, who looked a shambles less than a week earlier, losing 13-5 to the same Salmonbellies club in New Westminster. “We had no emotion going in there (to New West),” said Laker transition player Nick Bilic. “We knew we needed a point or two points, and we got one.”

Burnaby was perhaps unlucky to not come away with the first win of the season over New Westminster. Backup goalie Patrick Bayliss got the start and grew tougher to beat as the game went on, stopping 34 shots, including eight in the 10-minute overtime. In fact, it was Bayliss who saved the day for the Lakers in the final seconds of extra time. With the scored tied at eights, Bayliss blocked a point-blank shot from Tyler Digby at the top of the goalie crease with just five seconds left to play. Seconds later, Bayliss scrambled back from behind the net just in time to stymie Mark Negrin with a diving glove save as time ran out. “I’m very disappointed with the effort they (the Salmonbellies) put

out tonight,” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault. “The decisions with the ball were very, very poor. … But we’ll fix that.” Burnaby might wish they don’t get around to the repairs until after next Sunday’s meeting with the ’Bellies at the Copeland centre. But either way, the Lakers should be a better team for the point, said Bilic. “I think it was one of our best team efforts and hopefully we can build off it,” Bilic said. “It’s mental and hard work. If we come out ready to play, we can win. I think we got the skills.” On Sunday, the Lakers showed glimpses of those skills. Import runner Keaton O’Hara Juniors Page 35

RUGBY

Canada rugby beats France A, on to Churchill cup final Canada is heading to its first-ever Churchill Cup rugby final following a 3327 victory over France A Sunday. The historic win came through a try by B.C. Bears lock forward Brian Erichsen that was set up by an intercepted pass in the 70th minute. “It feels amazing to beat a quality side like France. We knew it was going to take a lot from us and we had to be ruthless,” said Erichsen in a Rugby Canada press release. “We had 15 guys working to the bone and in the end, we pulled it out.”

Burnaby Lake front row forward and Canadian team captain Pat Riordan said the win was the biggest in his 29 international appearances with the Canadian team. “We’re sick of playing in the consolation finals at the Churchill Cup, and last year we started out with a win and ended with a couple of losses,” Riordan said in the release. “This year, we set a line in the sand and made it happen. It feels great.” In a game that saw numerous lead changes, Canada took its first lead 7-6 on a try by Aaron

Carpenter in the 23rd minute. Canada trailed 16-10 at the half. Later, Justin MensahCoker started off a thrilling movement that culminated in a try by Matt Evans, putting Canada ahead 23-19 in the 52nd minute. France regained the lead on a late try from the wing. The two sides then exchanged penatly kicks, setting up the game-winning try from Erichsen. Canada will meet the England Saxons in the final of the Churchill Cup on Saturday.

because of injuries sustained in the National Lacrosse League in 2009. Sedgwick’s stick skills and on-floor presence should be just the thing for the handful of aspiring first-round draft picks in the Burnaby lineup who are looking for more consistency in their game. Tinning is one of those players who is eager to

take up that challenge. “Going to a stud team is good to get a win, but personally, I like the idea of a development team,” he said. The Lakers will get that opportunity to test themselves against another group of young guns, the Langley Thunder, this Friday at the Copeland centre. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Burnaby NOW • Wednesday, June 16, 2010 • A35

Juniors: continued from page 23

got Burnaby’s opening goal with his first-ever junior A tally to silence New Westminster’s quick 2-0 start on a pair of markers by Daniel McQuade. Jordan Jarvis tied the contest at 3-3 on a low shot from the point in the second period. Later Jishan Sharples put the home team ahead 5-4 on a nice hustle play. Both goals were set up by Chase Clark, who led Burnaby with a goal and three helpers. Burnaby led 6-4 heading into the final period, but the Salmonbellies rallied, eventually knotting the score with two unanswered goals, the game-tying tally coming on Digby’s second of three goals on the night. In OT, Clark gave the Lakers the lead with his fifth of the year. But an untimely four-minute penalty for checking from behind allowed the visitors to take the lead on a pair of power-play goals. But Burnaby kept on the attack and were rewarded at the eighth minute when Jaxson Lee’s shot from the right crease dribbled past the ’Bellies keeper. “Our whole group as a unit kept us in it,” said Bilic. “We should have won it. But I think we got the job done. But it would have been nice to get the W.” On Saturday, the goals were beginning to come for Burnaby, but it was stopping them that needed more work in Victoria. Burnaby lost for the seventh time in 14 starts, 14-9 to the Victoria Shamrocks on the weekend. Riley Loewen and Jackson Decker both registered hat tricks, while Jarvis had a four-point game, including a pair of goals for the visiting Lakers. But there was precious little goal-scoring help from the rest of the runners, except for Bryan Gillis’s second of the year that shaved the deficit to 6-5 in the opening two minutes of the middle period. In a disturbing trend, Victoria outshot the Lakers 16-6 in the final frame, while tallying four times to Burnaby’s one. Since May 8, the Lakers have not outscored the opposition in the final period, when Burnaby upset Victoria at home in overtime. In their last six league games, Burnaby has surrendered 18 goals in the third period to just six against its combined opposition. Burnaby is in Langley on Thursday. The Lakers are then back at the Copeland centre for a third matchup with New Westminster in less than two weeks. Game time is 7 p.m.

Clan soccer announces sked Simon Fraser University will be playing 11 home games on Terry Fox Field as the men’s soccer program transitions to the NCAA in the fall.

SFU Sustainability Coordinator, Wendy Lee, said that through the university’s involvement in the Commuter Challenge and Bike to Work Week, they aim to instigate a shift to alternative modes of transportation. By prioritizing bike racks over parking spaces, SFU expects to see an increase in the number of students and faculty members who cycle to get to campus. BCIT is an active and enthusiastic participant of the annual Bike to Work program. Alexandre Hebert, the technology institute’s Energy and Sustainability Manager at the School of Construction and the Environment, said there are many cyclists working at BCIT who are passionate about biking to work. “We want to promote a healthy lifestyle while reducing our greenhouse emissions,” said Herbert.
