Turtles to blame for overrun Efforts to protect endangered turtles added close to $5 million for lake project Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

The Burnaby Lake dredging project cost nearly $5 million more than expected, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan, because of environmental protection measures. The project, which originally had a budget of $16 million, is now estimated at $20.567 million, plus HST according to a report from Burnaby’s director of engineering. This was because additional precautions had to be met, to ensure the endangered Western painted turtle population in the lake would not be affected by the dredging. The provincial Ministry of Environment stepped in last year, requiring that the turtles be monitored with radar and sonar, to ensure the animals were not overwintering in the lake while sediment from the lake was removed. “We bought ground-penetrating radar equipment, Corrigan said, “and it came out after all that work – there were no overwintering turtles.” “All this money was spent,” he said. “There were absolutely no turtles in the sediment.” The turtles move to the lake’s tributaries during the winter, according to information obtained by the monitoring equipment, and stay in the shallow water even during particularly cold days. “They’re smarter than some scientists I know,” Corrigan said of the turtles.

staff reporter

The Grinch who stole Christmas made an early appearance in North Burnaby this week. Late on the night of Dec. 7 or early in the morning on Dec. 8, two LED-lit deer and one LED-lit train disappeared from Spike McKinley and Barry Swanson’s house. “The crazy thing is they (the displays) were right outside our bedroom window, and we didn’t hear anything,” said Swanson, who’s gradually added items to

their Cliff Avenue Christmas display during the past three years. “The automatic lights go out at midnight, and Spike goes to work before 6 a.m. so it had to happen during that time.” Swanson said the items are irreplaceable – he bought the deer for $100 each and the train for $50 – but that’s not what has him distressed. “It’s such a shame because it goes against the spirit of Christmas,” said Swanson. “This is definitely not in the spirit of Christmas.” Swanson said the displays were sufficiently large that he suspects it took more than one person to do the Grinch’s work. Swanson called the police, but he doesn’t think there’s much they can do; the only thing he hopes for is the safe

Politicos weigh in on oil leak

Branching out:

Jessica Orrin works at a Burnaby tree lot. Proceeds go to Aunt Leah’s, the non-profit group that is helping her learn how to live on her own after living in foster care.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Local politicians are voicing their concerns about the ongoing oil seep from Chevron’s North Burnaby refinery. Richard Lee, MLA for Burnaby North, attended the last community advisory panel meeting that Chevron held on Nov. 25. Chevron organizes the meetings to keep local residents informed while addressing any concerns they may have from living close to the refinery and tank farm. Lee said he wanted to learn more about community members’ concerns and get more information on the oil seep, which Chevron first discovered in April. The seeping oil is likely the result of years of contaminants soaking into the soil, now migrating offsite through the groundwater. Lee also wanted to check on Chevron’s progress in dealing with the spill. “I’ve been to down to the area twice,” he said. Lee pointed out that Chevron has still not been able to identify the source of the oil, and that the continuous leakage is a concern even though the quantity of oil is small. “But there are still concerns on how to clean it up in the long term,” he added. Lee said he has talked to provincial Environment Ministry staff, and that they are keeping a close eye on the clean up progress. When asked why the Environment Ministry isn’t making Chevron remediate the site, which is contaminated, Oil leak Page 5

Aunt Leah’s is there for her Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The coming new year marks a shift for Burnaby teen Jessica Orrin, and she’s readying herself with the help of an organization that keeps youth off the streets. This January, Orrin turns 19, and after years in foster care, she’ll be out on her own. It’s a big change, but Orrin is ready. “Oh yes, I do, I feel prepared,” she says. Part of the reason she’s confident is because of Aunt Leah’s Independent Lifeskills Society, a group that helps kids at risk of homelessness. Orrin has been in foster care since she was four years old. She got involved with Aunt Leah’s through a youth worker at her school. She’s now participating in a program that teaches teens how to live on their own once they hit 19 and are no

longer in the foster care system. As part of the program, Orrin lives in a basement suite, while taking training programs to get work experience. She also applied to work in the society’s annual Christmas tree lot, and now she’s an assistant manager who’s earning herself a pay cheque, thanks to Aunt Leah’s. “It’s provided stability in my life, it’s helped me get some work experience, and it’s helped with my confidence,” Orrin says. Orrin opens and closes the lot, oversees volunteers and handles the cash-out at the end of the night, and so far she’s enjoying it. “It’s going really well. I like working at the tree lot. Everyone is in a Christmas mood,” she says. Proceeds from the sales go back to fund the very programs that help youths like her. The society’s Theresa Olson says the

transition from foster care to independent living is a vulnerable time for youth. Some may fall through the cracks and end up living on the streets. “It’s really crucial they succeed when they are 19,” says Olson. “Some of them will end up homeless. ... Without a program like this, their chances are even worse.” When asked if it’s rough for kids in care to make it on their own, Orrin says everyone is different. “(But) people who aren’t in care tend to get more support from their parents,” she says. Olson also said Orrin is a talented artist, and the society helped the teen show some of her work in a gallery, and she sold some pieces. To see Orrin’s art, visit her rannalta.deviantart.com. For more on Aunt Leah’s visit www.auntleahs.org. The tree lot is at 7405 Royal Oak Ave.

Christmas Bureau issues a plea for cash donations Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

RCMP investigating Holi HoliDay Day Spa Specials Rumble Street shooting Take a holiday from stress with the season’s best spa specials

South Burnaby home was shot at early Monday morning Burnaby RCMP are continuing their investigation into an early-morning shooting into the side of a house in the 4600 block of Rumble Street. Just before 2 a.m. on Monday, the Burnaby RCMP received multiple 911 calls about a shooting in the quiet South Burnaby neighbourhood. When police attended, they did an extensive search of the area, including the use of police dogs, but because of the dark-

ness, they couldn’t find much evidence of the shooting. When police continued their investigation in the morning and later Monday afternoon, they discovered that a house had been shot at. “We found some casings, and we’re talking to neighbours to see if they saw anything,” said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk. “Nobody has been injured, and, at this point in the investigation, there doesn’t appear to be a link to gangs. “We are still actively investigating this incident.” – Alfie Lau

OUR VIEW

Sponsoring a child or helping provide a toy for a child at Christmas may be out of reach for some of our readers – and, in fact, some of our readers are hoping for help with their own needs – but, for many of our readers (and ourselves here at this newspaper), we can well afford to share our bounty with others. And many do. For those who need some encouragement to sponsor a child who needs food and education supplies, or put a teddy bear under a local kid’s Christmas tree,

here’s all you really need to know: It is infinitely easier to forgo a latte with chocolate sprinkles, a dinner out, a new pair of shoes to add to the dozen in the closet, than it is to look into the eyes of kids who are waiting for a simple act of generosity to help stave off hunger or provide them with a lesson in human compassion. Please consider donating to our local Christmas Bureau and other worthy charities – you can make a huge difference in someone’s life.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time to focus on green industry Dear Editor:

Re: Oil continues to leach into inlet, Burnaby NOW, Dec. 4. The ongoing situation at Burnaby’s Chevron refinery is a good starting point for a discussion about greening the city’s industrial base. The provincial and federal governments’ preference for industry self-compliance clearly isn’t working and Burnaby is paying the price. Chevron characterizes the current leakage as “historic” in nature. What will be the legacy of this operation in another 30 years? As the NOW points out, the Ministry of Environment is reluctant to “compromise their working relationship” with Chevron. What a gut-

less response! By not actively investigating the nature and extent of environmental problems, the ministry is allowing polluters to cover up the magnitude of their misdeeds and thereby minimize the consequences to the polluter. To put the problem in perspective, the ministry spends less than 10 per cent of its budget on compliance and enforcement for the entire province, roughly $15.6 million. Contrast that with the approximately $40 million Burnaby spends on policing one city. In light of Victoria’s inaction, council should be actively investigating cleaner, alternative industrial uses at the Chevron refinery property instead of allowing this polluter to continue business as usual for decades to come.

calibre, he will also suffer from the latter.

Re: Rich get richer, poor run in place, In My Opinion, Burnaby NOW, Dec. 11. It was with interest that I began to read Mr. Claxton’s article in our weekend newspaper. However, the further I read, the more concerned I became. Capitalism has created the wealth, and middle class, which allows our liberal democracy to flourish. Mr. Claxton has the freedom to express his views in a community newspaper driven by advertising, bought and paid for by the same capitalist system he seems to despise. If Mr. Claxton was only espousing a form of socialism, at least wealth would only be spread around from class to class. It would not be actively destroyed. Unfortunately, it seems that he is advocating a form a communism, a system from which a large percentage of the world’s population is still trying to recover, a good 20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall. The logical outcome of this system is poverty, both intellectual and physical. Mr. Claxton clearly suffers from the former. I trust after a few more articles of this

Yes, folks, it’s Christmas

Dear Editor:

“Delete the word ‘Christmas’! It is an “annual” social celebration for all our members, not just those of the Christian faith” – this, an input from a club member, editing an imminent invitation to members for December. I should not be surprised to once more find a person, wishing to be politically correct, claiming in error that celebrating Christmas, and not mere “holidays,” excludes non-Christians. In a calendar year we peacefully observe, perhaps even participate in, similar celebrations by other faiths in the public square. Such certainly are occasions to get to know our fellow citizens better and to enhance integration into our mosaic society. We are free to acknowledge or deny a Creator, but not to censor others. Merry Christmas (and it’s Christmas, not Xmas)! Paul Pazdera, Burnaby

since the party never really became the free enterprise coalition until Gordon Campbell took over). On the NDP side, emotions will likely remain raw for some time, and it’s hard to see the rift that now exists healing anytime soon. Throw in the simmering tensions between those who want to push the party further to the left and those wanting it to be more appealing to mainstream, middle-ofthe-road voters, and it can be a toxic mess. As well, various factions have been fighting over control of the party for decades and it will likely continue (I note, for example, that NDP mainstay Bob Williams, who was active behind the scenes in getting rid of James, has already declared the

next leader cannot come from Vancouver Island. Potential candidate John Horgan, who is from the Island, is therefore already facing a tough enemy.) Mike Farnworth is the supposed front-runner (should he run), but he may be the most centrist of any candidate. This raises an interesting scenario: will the left wing of the party – which drove James from office – mount an attack on Farnworth, arguably the most popular NDP politician with the voting public? And that brings us to the key question facing both parties: Will their members put ideological differences aside in order to pick a new leader who has the best chance of winning an election? History shows the centre-right side of the political spectrum has been able

to do that most often. It is the NDP that more often than not puts self-interests ahead of winning elections. I wrote in this space a few weeks back that the time is ripe for some MLAs to become independents or join together to create a new political party. The challenge for the two established coalitions is to keep that from happening. If the leadership races create a lot of infighting, it may be like a dam breaking, with MLAs suddenly leaving the parties that got them elected. The political events of the past six weeks have been crazy and unprecedented. But these extraordinary times are by no means over just yet. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Two Burnaby men were stabbed outside of a Coquitlam pub on Dec. 5. Police were called around 2 a.m. on the call of a fight in progress outside Woody’s Pub on Brunette Avenue. Coquitlam RCMP arrested one man at the scene, and cordoned the area off for several hours as they collected evidence outside the front of the pub. Two Burnaby men, ages 36 and 29, were taken to hospital for stab wounds. A third man, 29-yearold Robert Kowalczyk of Vancouver, was also brought to hospital to treat his injuries. All three have since been released. Kowalczyk is facing charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, and Coquitlam RCMP continue to investigate. “What we know at this point is that this started as a verbal confrontation between people that don’t seem to have any previous relationship and it very quickly escalated to a serious and dangerous situation,” said Coquitlam RCMP Const. Kristina Biro.

A brazen Sunday morning shooting in Vancouver that saw 10 people shot is connected to the Oct. 16 slaying of Gurmit Singh Dhak, according to Vancouver Police Chief Jim Chu. Chu made the connection at a Monday afternoon press conference where police and politicians expressed outrage at the shooting in the Shaughnessy area of Vancouver. “We had a little bit of a lull, but there is always tension beneath the surface, and the latest outbreak is connected to the targeted hit of Gurmit Singh Dhak,” Chu told reporters. Police believe that some of the people wounded in the shooting have information about the execution of Dhak, a notorious gangster. Dhak was shot while sitting in a black BMW SUV, just before 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 16, in a ground-level parking lot at the busy Metropolis at Metrotown mall. Police believe that Dhak’s murder has led to an escalation in gang tensions, which culminated in the Sunday morning shootings. Among the shooting victims are three gangsters with convictions for drug trafficking and violence;

Lambert Chu, the city’s engineering director, said in an interview with the NOW in April that turtles weren’t found within the dredge zones in February or March, but they were seen swimming and basking in Deer Lake Brook and along the shoreline. Corrigan criticized former provincial environment minister Barry Penner, saying he hoped the partnership between the municipality and the province on the project wasn’t diminished by the environmental protection requirements. “(Penner) was moved to Aboriginal Affairs,” Corrigan said. “I think this is why.” The dredging project was slated to begin in September 2009 but was stalled when the ministry turned down an application for a wildlife salvaging permit because of concerns about how the Western painted turtle might be affected. Dredging began last March instead. Corrigan said the new environment minister, Murray Coell, visited the site a few weeks ago and was the first minister to do so. Coun. Nick Volkow said the engineering report, which is one of the last for the project as it is nearing completion, is an important one. “It is one of the biggest and widest projects the city has undertaken,” he said. The project is expected to improve the lake’s ecosystem and bring the lake’s rowing course back up to international standards. The city had originally wanted the contractor to dredge 360,000 cubic metres of sediment from the lake, but the final tally for the project should be closer to 185,000 cubic metres, according to the report. The contractor, Hazco, has been dredging approximately 900 cubic metres per day, based on a 16-hour day, six days a week. The project is expected to be complete by the end of March 2011. The city has also run into complications, according to Chu, because of significant debris – including tires and sheets of plastic – that got caught in the dredging equipment. The final costs in the revised budget include $17.8 million for the Hazco contract. Environmental management, monitoring and inspection was expected to come in at $1.235 million, according to the report, with GPR (ground penetrating radar) equipment and detection services costing an additional $462,000. The city and province initially agreed to contribute $10 million each to the project. Despite the delays and the increased cost, Corrigan said, the project was well worth it. “When you see this operation going on, the change in the water is fantastic,” he said. “It’ll restore the lake for the next 75 to 100 years.”

ho can say no to adorable puppies? Pacific Assistance Dogs Society is having an open house on Dec. 17, from 1 to 4 p.m. PADS is a non-profit group that trains dogs to help people who have mobility or hearing challenges. The dogs can help with a variety of tasks, like turning on lights, pulling off socks, opening doors or alerting people to sounds. PADS is always looking for volunteers to help raise the puppies while they are in training. The society is at 9048 Stormont Ave. There will be refreshments, a tour of the facility and PADS dogs and puppies on hand. For more, see www.pads.ca.

Thanks for the food

Stoney Creek Community School wants to say thank you to Lougheed Town Centre for helping stock the school’s food bank shelves. Mall staff raise money for charity by saving all the used cans and bottles in the food court. Lougheed Town Centre donated more than $800 worth of food and other items for Christmas hampers and the school’s food cupboard. Stoney Creek has seen an increase in the number of families using the school’s food cupboard over the past two years. “These are not just unemployed people, but also working parents who are just having difficulty making ends meet,” said Lawrence Ryan, organizer of Stoney Creek’s food cupboard.

Bus drivers helping

Burnaby bus drivers, their union members and staff from the local transit depot have adopted two families for Christmas. The group raised some money and bought gifts and essentials for holiday hampers to go to two families through Family Services of Greater Vancouver. Charlotte Bleuer coordinated the effort on behalf of the depot. “It was amazing to see the drivers and staff so willing to help us make the holidays special for two families,” she said. “More than 100 members gave money and time to make this happen.”

Doing good deeds draws kudos Awards for good deeds and long service handed out at Saturday ceremony Alfie Lau

staff reporter

More than 120 people were recognized at the Officer in Charge Awards ceremony held Saturday at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby. The event was a chance for the RCMP to give their own members, staff and volunteers recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty, and to publicly thank citizens for their aid. Burnaby’s top cop, Chief Supt. Rick Taylor, along with the RCMP’s Dep. Comm. Gary Bass and Asst. Comm. Peter German were on hand to recognize the efforts of the 122 recipients. Amongst the notable winners was Delta native Karol Mitchell, who jumped into Deer Lake to save a young woman who was screaming and flailing her arms in the middle of the lake last summer. Before her husband, Scott, knew what she was doing, Mitchell had stripped off her outer clothes and jumped in to help the woman, who had gone under several times. Neither she nor her husband know how to swim well, and three younger adults who could refused to go in the lake. Another notable winner was Burnaby native Fred Ellis, 77, who always wanted to be a police officer but worked 35 years as an accountant instead. Since retiring 14 years ago, he’s helped police recover 98 stolen vehicles, spending countless hours scouring the streets of Burnaby for the licence plate numbers of stolen vehicles. One of the youngest winners was Volodymyr Prystay, a boy who, with his pal Joseph Pelletier, led officers around his neighbourhood in search of a missing nineyear-old boy last June to help the officers identify him when he was spotted. The Burnaby NOW also received an award for its special section this summer commemorating the 60th anniversary of the RCMP in Burnaby. “Burnaby RCMP detachment’s motto is ‘Partners for a safe community,’ and I firmly believe the people who we have honoured here today embody the true spirit of that partnership,” said Taylor. “Each has brought great honour to themselves, their organization, our detachment and our community.” For a full list of award recipients go to www.burnabynow.com.

City man pitches in for orphans Local businessman Jack Gin donated $11,000 to a local thrift store that raises money for Seeds of Hope Children’s Ministry. The Christian organization helps children who are orphaned by AIDS, mostly in Zambia. Gin’s donation is earmarked to help finish construction on a high school. Gin describes himself as a Burnaby resident who gives back to both local and international non-profit organizations. “My family chose to support the orphan-

age called Seeds of Hope Children’s (Ministry), and we were so pleasantly surprised to find Orphan Aid in my hometown dedicating their effort to supporting the same orphans that I have met personally in Zambia,” he said. The Burnaby thrift store raises about $7,000 to $8,000 a month for the ministry to helps the children. “They are orphans, their parents have died of AIDS or starvation,” said Bertha

Wigboldus, chair of the society that runs the thrift store. “These children, they look like they are going to die any minute. … They look like normal kids about two or three years later, after they come into the orphanage.” The Orphan Aid Thrift Store is staffed entirely by volunteers and can always use more help. The store is at 7889 Edmonds St. For more, visit www.orphanaidthriftstore.ca or call 604-521-1013.

he fondest memory I have from my childhood is one that I hold dear to my heart. Fitted with an oversized apron and a smile from ear to ear, I was six years old, on a stool, rolling out

pie pastry along side my Mom. While she made the large pies for the family, I rolled out pastry for miniature imitations formed to the confines of empty, metal chip-dip containers. I was very proud and happy to be a part of the preparation for such a wonderful treat. Pies are a very traditional way to end a meal on certain holidays throughout the year, and especially at Christmastime. Pumpkin is always a favourite pie

among many for the holidays, but numerous different pies can and will be made and enjoyed. Pies are basically made up of a shell or crust, with a flavourful filling, and can be divided into two groups: baked or unbaked. Baked pies are obviously ones with raw pie shells that are filled and then baked. The unbaked category represents pre-baked pie shells that are filled with a prepared filling and then chilled to set before

serving. The pie dough that makes up these shells can also be divided into two categories: flaky dough or mealy dough. Flaky dough is usually a pastry that has a mixture of shortening and butter that is “cut in” so that there are small chunks still left in the finished product. This aids in creating steam, which helps with the leavening process and thus creating the flaky texture. Mealy dough is one that is usually made with butter that is mixed in more thoroughly, and when baked has a texture much like tender shortbread. This is because the flour particles are more coated with fat and thus less gluten is formed. Once you have decided on the type of crust to make, it is time to decide on the filling. Basically there are four choices: fruit, custard, cream or chiffon. All fillings require the existence of a starch or stabilizer to ensure that it holds together when sliced. Fruit and cream fillings use starches, such as cornstarch for their stability, while custard filling use the stabilization of eggs coagulation for their firmness. Examples of custard pies are ones such as pumpkin, pecan and key lime pies. Chiffon pies usually use a combination of starch or gelatin with whipped egg whites folded in. Baking is a science, and recipes are the formulas. For the reasons listed here and for many others, it is important to follow these recipes exactly in order to have a successful outcome.

Here & Now: Green tips “Think about what you buy and where it will end up,” said Greg Moore, chair of the waste management committee. “Give your friends and family something that won’t be buried in the landfill in a few months.” Last Christmas season, people in the region threw out an extra 4,000 tonnes of trash, enough to fill 500 garbage trucks. A lot of the extra garbage is likely wrapping and packaging from Christmas. Metro Vancouver is suggesting people give gifts that last or share an experience to lessen the load on the landfill. Some tips: ◆ Stay away from disposable Christmas decorations and use reusable ones instead. ◆ Try to reduce you carbon footprint by buying locally. ◆ Pool resources with people to buy a nice gift. ◆ Opt for experiencebased presents, like event tickets or gift certificates. For the full list, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www. burnabynow.com.

Chopper shop: Former machinist Emil Jurica has built a quarter-scale Harley

Davidson motorcycle engine as his final project for the power technology course in BCIT’s technology teaching education program.

staff reporter

Not everyone gets to build a gas-powered wheelchair, a turbo jet engine, or a Harley Davidson motorcycle engine at school. These are just a few of the final projects being created by students in BCIT’s technology teacher education program. Dan Lee focused on the sciences in school; his parents wanted him to be a doctor. The only shop class he took in high school was the mandatory Grade 8 course, he says. “I love it now, though,” he adds. But now Lee is training to be a shop teacher at BCIT and hopes to teach woodworking someday. As his final project in the program’s power technology course, Lee has built a gas-powered wheelchair that can go up to 60 km/h. “I thought, this might be kind of cool, for people who have limited mobility,” he says. The wheelchair was salvaged and donated to the project, which also includes the front-end of a kid’s bike, for steering. “I didn’t beat up a kid for it,” Lee jokes, saying he found it rusted, with flat tires, in the bushes on the side of the road. The motor is from a lawn mower. “I took it completely apart, and cleaned

it,” Lee says, adding it only cost him $20. The program encourages students to recycle, and keep budgets low for projects. Lee estimates he spent under $200 for materials for the wheelchair. There are safety issues – Lee is looking to install a seat belt, possibly a harness, and a roll bar on top of the contraption, he says. He drove the wheelchair for the first time on Wednesday, Dec. 1, but only made it 10 feet before the engine died. Lee was working on tweaking the chair up when he spoke with the Burnaby NOW earlier this month. While some of the projects are practical, instructor Roger Bortignon says, Lee’s is more about going through a learning process. Lee was sure about what he wanted to do, Bortignon says, and was passionate about it. “I don’t like to stifle passion,” he says. Part of the program is learning about what creative options there are for projects, as well as technical and mechanical skills, and problem solving techniques The final projects make up the last third of the course, where students incorporate what they’ve learned so far. “Some of what they’re doing they can use directly,” Bortignon says, “and some is for their own personal growth.” BCIT Page 21

Understanding your emotions T

here is meaning in emotion. Powerful feelings – anxiety to the edge of panic, anger to the limit of rage, and sadness to the depths of grief – can hijack our thoughts, shape our behaviour, harm our relationships and limit our capacity for joy. They can also serve as alarms or gongs – signalling us to awaken and to attend to their cause. In my approach to meditation as an essential daily health practice, I begin with the first of seven questions, “What am I feeling?” My answer begins with the mantra, “Feel my breath.” Breathing in, I expand my lungs and clear my head. Breathing out, I release all tension in my body. Breathing in relaxation. Breathing out ten-

sion. With each successive cycle of breathing in and breathing out, I become more relaxed and more at peace. I note the still point between each inhalation and exhalation, and between exhalation and inhalation. It represents the still point in my own mind from which I perceive this present moment and what I am feeling – in my body and in my heart. It is like viewing a candid snap shot in which is revealed the actions and expressions of the moment. They can be surprising, revealing and often unflattering. What emotion are you feeling at this moment? If not joy or peace, can you name it? This is not always as easy as it sounds. Many are out of touch with their emotions and have little awareness of their underlying feelings, until they build up, percolate and explode through uncontrolled words and actions. Sometimes irritability or grumpiness looks like anger but actually represents a deeper sense

BCIT: Students in tech teaching program get hands-on lessons continued from page 18

Emil Jurica, who was a machinist for 15 years, built a quarterscale Harley Davidson four-stroke motor from scratch. “I used to be a machinist, but I wanted something more rewarding,” he explains. “I’ve always liked teaching other people.” Taking apart and rebuilding

engines is something the students covered in their courses, so Jurica decided to challenge himself with building the motor with only a few parts bought and not made by him. The carburetor, springs and ignition system were purchased, he says, but everything else he did on his own.

He was working on getting it running when the NOW visited the shop Dec. 1. Small clusters of students worked on everything from bicycles to engines in the large machine shop, with Bortignon stepping in to help or give advice when needed. Jurica loves the program. “Everyone is having a blast,” he

says, adding it was like being back in high school shop class, which he enjoyed. He wants to be a metalwork teacher in Surrey and hopes the school district will bring in an ACE IT industry learning program for high schools, so he can be a part of that. www.twitter.com/janayafe TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS Vancouver

Front row seat for national u-17 teen Tom Berridge sports editor

Alpha Secondary’s Keegan Fletcher was named to the Canadian men’s under-17 rugby squad Dec. 9. The 16-year-old front row hook was one of 17 players from B.C. to be selected to the 28-man team for a two-game exhibition series against a U.S.A. All-American high school team in Santa Barbara, California Dec. 29 and 31. “The inclusion of the players from B.C. is a very good indication of the quality of programming within our clubs and schools,” said provincial coach and development manager Dave Brown in a B.C. Rugby press release. Fletcher, who represented B.C. at the u-16 level at the national championships, will be making his first-ever appearance for Canada in the series. “I think coaching has been a big part of it. They’ve been very helpful,” said Fletcher, who is also one of four players selected from the Vancouver Rowing Club junior rugby program. “I’ve been motivated to play at a high level.” In only his third season of organized rugby, Fletcher has put the 15man game ahead of minor

On his way: Alpha Secondary student Keegan Fletcher, in yellow, shows his rugby skills against Ontario at the Canadian national under-17 selection camp. league hockey. “This year has almost been a turning point,” Fletcher said, adding it was rugby’s focus on fitness and agility that won him over. “Like I said, hockey has always been a com-

mitment, but rugby had always been fun and I never had any expectations for it. But everything has been positive for me – everything has been good.” The post-Christmas series against the American

all-stars will also serve as a further opportunity for coaches to evaluate the players prior to naming the Canadian u-17 squad that will take part at the Wellington Festival against other national junior sides in Great Britain next

March. “Right now, what they want from me is just fitness – play what you see ahead of you and go forward,” Fletcher said. “It’s not about trying not to make a mistake, it’s about going forward.”

No. 1 Rebel boys win HSBC Classic title Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby South Rebels are on top of B.C. high school boys’ basketball for a third straight week. The Rebels took quick revenge on their only loss of the season to date, defeating No. 2-ranked R.C. Palmer 84-74 in the championship final of the HSBC Classic tournament at UBC Saturday. Nick Irvine led the way with a double-double, scoring 20 points and adding 13 rebounds. “It wasn’t easy, but we managed to get it done in the end,” said South head coach Greg Matic. After two difficult games against ranked opponents in the quarter- and semifinal, South got away from its successful team concept and struggled individually against Palmer. In reaction and trailing by seven points heading into the second quarter, Matic allowed his bench to take over. In the second half, a more

aggressive Rebel team took the floor and led by the power rebounding of tournament all-star Daniel Edwards South took control of the game. “It was a lesson to be learned,” Matic said. South’s win at the HSBC was the first-ever title for a Burnaby/ New Westminster school and the fifth in the past six seasons for a Lower Mainland school. Seven of the top 10-ranked school teams, not including honourable mention Yale, were present at the HSBC tournament this year. The Rebels got by No. 4-ranked Vancouver College easily, winning 93-66. Manroop Clair had a team-high 20 points for South. Lazar Cuk added 16. But No. 8 Tamanawis proved a more diffcult opponent in the quarter-finals. “Tamanawis beat Tupper and looked good,” said Matic. “They are going to be a dangerous team from now on.” A nice third-quarter run against

Tamanawis allowed South to pull out a 78-72 victory over the Surrey school. Jok Malek was particularly active, with nine points in the win over Tamanawis. Clair again led the Rebs with 33 points. Ater Degal chipped in with 19 points. Clair averaged nearly 24 points a game at the HSBC tourney. Against Vancouver College, South gave up an opening trey to the Fighting Irish, but then went on a 15-0 run and never trailed in the contest. South opened the HSBC tournament against Handsworth with a 90-71 win. The key to keeping South’s talented players on top is through teamwork, Matic said. “We’re sort of still tinkering with the starting lineup, but hard work is the No. 1 thing we have right now,” Matic added. “We don’t drop off in talent or ability from six through 12. We are so versatile with kids who can fill in at so many positions.” But Matic knows a winning

season is more than just about raw talent. “There are still so many areas we have to get better in,” he said. And a challenging tournament schedule in the new year will have the Rebels up against the province’s best at the Legal Beagle in January and in Kelowna the following month. “We can’t run and hide, we have to be ready to play,” Maic said. Ater and Clair also garnered all-star mentions for the South at the conclusion of the tournament. Cuk was a recipient of an HSBC tournament scholarship.

Rod Thomson tourney

South will be hosting the fifth annual Rod Thomson Rebel Classic boys’ basketball tournament, beginning Thursday. South kicks off the tourney against David Thompson at 2:45 p.m. The tournament final is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. on Saturday.

Burnaby’s Briannah Tsang topped all vaulters at the Elite Canada women’s artistic gymnastics championships in Gatineau, Que. Sunday. The Omega Gymnastics Academy teenager scored 13.850 in the women’s vault to win the individual gold medal in her debut at the senior level. Earlier in the competition, Tsang finished sixth in the senior all-around, including the top score in her specialty – the vault. The 14-year-old teen scored 14.450 on the vault during the all-around portion of the meet, the only competitor in the discipline to garner more than 14 points in the two days of competition. Tsang finished a point behind Mikaela Gerber of Oakville, Ont. in the allaround portion of the competition. Both Tsang and Gerber were among a new group of gymnasts moved up to the senior level from junior to challenge for a spot on Canada’s 2012 Olympic team. Tsang also placed seventh on both the uneven bars and floor exercises to finish with an all-around score of 50.700. Only national team member Charlotte Mackie of Flicka scored higher than Tsang amongst competing B.C. athletes. Mackie placed third overall. Christina Lee of Ontario won the all-around with a 54.800 score. Tsang’s top-eight scores on bars and floor in the allaround also qualified her for the individual event finals. The Burnaby North student matched her allaround score on the bars to again finish seventh in the individual finals. Tsang also placed seventh on floor exercises. Flicka club gymnast Tamara Kuno of Burnaby placed fourth in the vault in the junior all-around. But Kuno slipped to eighth in the individual final when she failed to record a score on her first vault.

STAY BACK 10 METRES, IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE It’s storm season in B.C. and at this time of year strong winds can cause power outages. It’s pretty obvious when your power is out, but a downed energized power line is very dangerous and doesn’t give you any warning. There is no “bear in the area” or “slippery when wet” sign, just thousands of volts surging through the ground. While it may not appear deadly, every downed power line should be treated with respect, 10 metres of respect. Stepping closer could end your life. So if you see a downed power line, stay back 10 metres (the length of a bus), call 911, and keep others away. Stay back 10 metres—it’s one of the 3 Keys of Electrical Safety.
