Tears of gratitude

Best job:

Crossing guard Kelly Engleson recently received a heartfelt gift from a grateful woman.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A Burnaby crossing guard was overwhelmed by an act of kindness from a stranger Tuesday morning. Local resident Kelly Engleson has been working as a school district crossing guard for eight years at Douglas Road Elementary, and for the past two years, she’s been helping kids cross safely at Douglas Road and Sprott Street. On Tuesday morning, a woman approached her who was sobbing so much she could hardly breathe. Engleson asked if the woman needed help, but she was fine. She just wanted to give something to Engleson; a thankyou card with a Tim Horton’s gift card inside. The card read: “To the passionate crossing guard, Thank you for keeping the children and their parents safe while travelling to school. I notice your passion for protection and your caring manner, which is evident in the way you let the drivers know that children are crossing the road. Enjoy a cup of coffee on me! Keep up the great work. Signed, a stranger passing this

intersection regularly on the way to work, Karleen.” Engleson was caught off guard by the gesture. “She just felt overwhelmed and needed to tell me what a great job I did,” Engleson said, with a hearty laugh. Engleson gets numerous accolades from the public, but she was by surprised at how overcome the woman was with emotion.

“She was just so overwhelmed that I would step in front of a car to save somebody, or maybe she saw me do that, because I do do that,” she said. “You do what you think you have to do to protect the kids. It’s such a rewarding job, I absolutely love what I do.” Over the past couple of years, Engleson said she’s started to do her job a bit differently because people in a hurry get frustrated

when stopped. “I mouth ‘thank you’ and I wave thank you to everybody, every single car that I stop, I have done the same (thing) for two years. And you see the anger go to a little smile today, and tomorrow it’s a nice smile. The next day they’re waving at you, and before you know it, … I’m getting honked and waved at by people, and I have no idea who they are,” she said, laughing.

Engleson said she’d like to thank all the drivers who look out for her each day. “I do try very hard to keep all the pedestrians safe at my corner and times like this make it all worthwhile,” she said. “More importantly, I would like to say, summer school is starting soon. Drivers please watch out for my students as there will not be a crossing guard on the corner of Douglas Road and Sprott.”

Brentwood plans include theatre, skyscrapers Stefania Seccia staff reporter

A movie theatre, 60-storey towers and interactive art installations could be a reality of Brentwood mall’s near future. An info session at Brentwood Town Centre drew almost 200 people to the back

of the food court where giant cards painted a picture of the first phase of the mall’s redevelopment Wednesday evening. Shape Properties, which acquired Brentwood mall in 2010, had multiple staff members present to answer questions. The first phase involves a massive transformation of eight acres connected to

the SkyTrain at Lougheed Highway and Willingdon Avenue. The proposed redevelopment is divided into four phases and will include 10 residential buildings, two office towers ranging from 30 to 40 storeys, a redeveloped commercial centre, a 50,000square-foot food store and a variety of outdoor spaces.

On June 26, the public was able to see more specific plans for the plaza coming in the first phase, such as the two 60-storey towers – one at the corner of Lougheed Highway and Alpha Avenue, and the other on the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Halifax Street, which would be Burnaby’s Brentwood Page 3

tallest highrises if the plan goes through. Shape’s executive vice-president of acquisitions development, Darren Kwiatkowski, was at the info session and said the reason why the towers could sit at 60 storeys is because “taller towers means less towers” in the plaza. “Tall towers create thin shadows,” he added. “It frees up the ground plaza, makes it more open and more friendly.” He said the company is also in talks with a few players on the cinema scene and a movie theatre could be part of the first phase, but no deal has been finalized. As the redevelopment’s first phase is being touted as the new

face to the existing mall by Shape, Kwiatkowski said the theatre will help create a nightlife and draw more top-end restaurants and shops to the site. The theatre is intended to be part of the plaza’s first phase, along with interactive art, water fountains, and the removal of the bus loop. “When you look at the site, the corner of Lougheed and Willingdon is the urban focal point,” Kwiatkowski told the NOW. “As you move away, there’s single-family residences and the highest density is going to be at that corner.” The overall anticipated number of residential units is between 2,000 and 4,200 – housing about

8,400 people. On-site services will be removed this summer, with construction and excavation targeted to start in early 2014. As for the mall’s iconic roofs that look like tents, Kwiatkowski said he doesn’t know whether or not they will remain as is. “It’s to be decided,” he added. “It’s not in the first phase so we’re not really thinking about it yet. You talk to one person and they say they love them, then the next says get rid of them. We’ll see.” The 28-acre site will be redeveloped over the next 20 years. Shape’s portfolio includes 10 projects in B.C. and Alberta totaling 2.6 million square feet of retail space on 295 acres.

New corridors: Kinder Morgan is seeking public feedback on two Burnaby routing options for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion plan.

Contributed/ burnaby now

Local pipeline paths revealed Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kinder Morgan has revealed possible routing options for the pipeline expansion plan through Burnaby, and the company is trying to avoid residential neighbourhoods and private property. Kinder Morgan is proposing to run the twinned oil pipeline from North Road, on the Coquitlam border, along Lougheed Highway to Underhill Avenue, where it will take a right, past a gasoline distribution station that sells Esso products. From there, it’s a short stretch to the Kinder Morgan storage terminal, or tank farm, on Burnaby Mountain. The corridor route then heads from the north-west corner of the tank farm and then west along Burnaby Mountain Parkway, down a short stretch of Hastings Street, before turning right and running north close to Cliff Avenue and the Burrard Inlet Conservation Area, before connecting to the Westridge Marine Terminal, the dock where tankers fill up with crude. The “study corridor,” as Kinder Morgan calls it, is

When asked if Kinder Morgan may need to access people’s property in Burnaby, Davis said they would try not to. “We will do everything we can to avoid it,” he said. “I can’t say with any certainty we won’t come to that in some small examples. … I can’t say for sure we won’t come to that, but we will do everything we can. We have to live with these landowners for another 60 years. We don’t want to end up in an adversarial situation, so we will do everything we can to resolve that. But it is a large project. It’s a federally regulated project, because it’s in the national interest, and we ultimately have to find a balance. “There are parts of the route that are going through streets, so it would be naïve to say we’re not affecting residential property, but it’s not actually on the property,” he added.

OUR VIEW

the hospital lot turns out not to be inconsequential at all. It affects the health of patients who need the comfort of loved ones around them - especially loved ones who can’t find change or understand the nuances of pay parking procedures under the stress of an emergency situation. Perhaps most importantly, it’s deceitful. Only one-third of the money collected from the parking lots at Fraser Health hospitals actually goes to maintaining the parking structure. Of the $14 million in parking fees col-

lected in the past year by Fraser Health (about $19 million the year before), more than $8 million goes into the health authority’s operating budget. That $8 million is actually hidden user fees – and in an honest environment, would be openly recognized as such. Or it should be openly acknowledged as a part of the provincial tax structure. It’s a drop in the bucket of the province’s multi-billion-dollar health-care budget. But it means a lot to people who just want to pay a supportive visit.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tell those ‘good teacher’ stories Dear Editor:

It’s the last days of school and no one wants to think about September, but I wanted to make a plea for education. As a very active member of my son’s school’s parent advisory committee and as a veteran teacher, I have been able to see both sides of education in recent years. Our parent advisory committee is a fundraising giant. We are paying for so many things in the school that my parents never had to pay for. The teachers are requesting things that should be covered by the school district. Maybe you noticed all the school spring fair posters in our community this spring – every school is fundraising for needed

items. Parents at my son’s school, who know I am a teacher, ask me often about the lack of counsellors, school psychologists, librarians and teachers to help with learning disabilities. They wonder how their children are coping in a large class with students with differing issues. I try my best to explain that teachers care about your child, they are professionals and just talk to them about your concerns. Unfortunately, the Liberals and our media do not hear from parents and parents need to be loud this summer. The Liberals have halted productive contract negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and want to pursue a 10-year deal. The media loves to paint teachers as big bad union bullies. The two

together simply mean another 10 years of cuts to our young people’s educations. We need to invest more in our youth, and we need to speak up for them. Teachers have always negotiated classroom size and composition as part of their bargaining because they are concerned about your children. B.C. gets great results for the amount it invests in education compared to the rest of the country and the world. I don’t buy Christy Clark’s need for a 10-year plan. So much happens in a decade. For example, we are seeing more students diagnosed with learning difficulties as their mothers are older, which will not be addressed for 10 years. Or on the economic front, job sectors change and employers want different courses, which will not be addressed for 10 years. Lastly, I work with and my students are taught by some fabulous teachers. Who wants a depressed, deflated workforce for a decade? How will that stimulate vibrant education policy? I encourage you to tell your good teacher stories to the media and to write a letter to Christy Clark expressing your concerns for the new school year in September. Arm your children and grandchildren with the skills for a great future through education. We all want educated, empathetic citizens who graduate and make our country better. Louise Hazemi, Burnaby

Kennedy gets it wrong Dear Editor:

While the rest of the world enviously points at Canada and how Prime Minister Stephen Harper managed to navigate the ship of state through the most recent recession, a problem most of them have not yet come to grips with, our MP, Kennedy

Stewart calls it, “reckless mismanagement.” He then points at his leader and his accomplishments in the Quebec environmental portfolio and wants us to believe that, as a result, people in Quebec are now better off. Yeah, right! Do they have less unemployment? Do they pay fewer taxes? Are they living within their means? How enthusiastically did they shut down asbestos mines on his watch? I get it – they are better off because of Thomas Mulcair’s legacy and our $7 billion in equalization funds. Even with that, Quebec taxes are highest in the land, they have borrowed more from their grandchildren than any other province, and their air is no cleaner than what you would breathe in Fort Mac. When Mr. Stewart claims, “Tom (Mulcair) believes Canada can emerge as a new kind of leader on the world stage …” it reminds me of what U.S. President Barack Obama said six years ago, when he was a candidate, “The USA is the best country in the world! Now, please help me change it!” His accomplishments are not quite as pronounced as the Spaniards, who should have remembered Sancho Panza’s words when Don Quixote started messing with windmills. Spain’s youth unemployment is now 55 per cent, and Mr. Mulcair wants to lead Canada in a similar race to the bottom! I used to get upset reading the drivel “honest” Svend Robinson and the great Bill Siksay sent us. What is now coming in the mail, compliments of Kennedy Stewart, is just laughable. Even though we seem to live in some kind of bubble in Burnaby-Douglas, provincewide there are, luckily, enough sane people who understand that with socialism, sooner or later you run out of other people’s money. They then vote their own values. Hopefully they’ll stick to it. Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

what they had. Our ancestors’ technology was superior – we can certainly be proud of that. And they had acquired, over the previous decades of colonization of other distant lands and people, a knack for subjugating natives, plus a willingness to exercise judgment on their behalf. They were skills that came in handy – and we should all be proud of our most effective skills. We haven’t lost those

skills through the generations. Now, instead of subjugating new peoples, we are using those self-same skills to subjugate the land and to exercise our judgment on its behalf – to harvest energy the way our ancestors harvested cultures. And to similar effect, the northern-most portions of the country – where much of our energetic pride is emerging – were actually given to us by Norway, whose explorers “discovered” the polar

Roads closing for Alta Visit www.Burnabynow.com Vista Park celebration Canada Day Sale! Stefania Seccia staff reporter

The 20th annual Alta Vista Park celebration is back on Sept. 14. Council approved the road closure of a portion of the 5100 block of McKee St. between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., at its June 24 meeting. The purpose of the event is to foster community spirit for residents of all ages with a variety of family activities in tow, according to a staff engineering report.

Contract award for pool roof

Council approved the contract for the Eileen Dailly Centre roof replacement to Marine Roofing Ltd. The projected cost is about $860,000. Marine Roofing has worked with the city before, and has the required personnel and equipment to replace the

pool’s old roof, according to a staff finance report. There are two phases for the roof’s replacement: phase one is scheduled during this summer and phase two will follow in summer 2014.

City water quality improves

The City of Burnaby’s drinking water continues to improve in quality, according to Barry Davis, acting director of engineering. In 2012, a total of 3,267 routine drinking water samples were taken in Burnaby for bacteriological analysis. The results have shown that there was no Total Coliform or E. Coli detected in any of the potable water sampled. The results also added to the decline of heterorophic plate counts over the last ten years. The majority of the samples showed low turbid-

ity. Areas that exceeded a low turbidity level may be attributed to source water conditions or other transient activities that change the water pressure, according to Davis.

Knotweed still a problem in parks

Dave Ellenwood, director of parks, recreation and cultural services, states in a report to council that knotweed is still a problem. On June 17, council heard that the 2013 invasive plant management strategy for 2013 includes expanding stem injections to all knotweed patches being managed by the city. Efforts to remove other invasive plants will continue in Central Park and Deer Lake Park. The city will also offer more training and educational workshops for staff and the public this year, according to Ellenwood. sseccia@burnabynow.com

City against terminal study Port Moody pitch for study area poses risks to industrial sector: Council Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Burnaby does not support any changes that would undermine the economic well-being of its industrial zones, according to a decision council made at its last meeting. At a recent meeting, council decided to not support a City of Port Moody proposal to designate three Special Study Areas – with one of them potentially affecting the future of the Suncor Terminal that’s split between both cities. Port Moody is seeking to amend Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy by designating three industrial spots as study areas,

which “would represent significant erosion to the protection of the region’s industrial land base,” a planning and building department report states. The requested amendment could have made changes to the site’s uses to include residential, commercial, institutional, recreational and clean industrial/business activities if development nearby was compatible. “The proposal to amend the (Regional Growth Strategy) by the City of Port Moody would signal a future significant change to the industrial land base of the region, and would have the potential to impact the future use and industrial viability of industrial lands in Burnaby associated with the Suncor Terminal,” the report states. The proposal covers about 496 hectares of industrial lands, with 8.6

hectares in Burnaby. On July 29, 2011, all municipal members and the Metro Vancouver board adopted the Regional Growth Strategy, which included a provision for a Special Study Area designation map. Council approved the report’s recommendation to not support the City of Port Moody’s request for the Special Study Areas.

Sugita also states there are no other existing structures within the immediate area that could provide adequate height to install antennas for wireless coverage. “The proposed design is stealth in nature as the antennas are mounted inside the pole itself to reduce the overall visibility of the structure,” Sugita states. “This design, in combination with the structure’s location at the rear of a large parcel, will

Students learn art of gardening CLASS ACT

Jennifer Moreau

ith school out for summer as of Thursday, students at Brentwood Elementary have also wrapped up their harvest season. Thanks to a partnership between Growing Chefs and Let’s Patch, a Grade 1 class at Brentwood Elementary grew their own vegetables this season. Growing Chefs is a Vancouver non-profit group that teaches kids how to grow their own food. Let’s Patch is the brainchild of Kent Houston, who came up with a self-watering planter for container gardening. Let’s Patch donates containers to schools, and Growing Chef visits classrooms every two weeks to teach the students about plant growth, nutrition,

urban agriculture and sustainability. The participating class at Brentwood grew arugula, spinach, beets, mesclun, (a mustard-flavoured green, not to be confused with mescaline, the hallucinogenic), radishes, and sugar snap peas and regular snap peas. (They also grew potatoes as part of a related program.) The harvest was used in a cooking class in midJune, where students, with the help of parent-volunteers, washed the vegetables, prepped them and set up an eating area. Other students were tasked with bringing the vegetables from the garden to the kitchen. The students made pea soup and a stirfry. (The chefs cooked the stirfry, but the children were allowed to drop the vegetables in.) The parents, chefs, students, teacher and education assistant all enjoyed a meal afterwards. “I thought it was amazing,” said teacher Priscilla Yap. “It’s the first year I’ve done it, and I’ve already told all the other

The Auxiliary to Burnaby Hospital dedicated 18,000 hours in 2012 and has donated over $2 million to date to Burnaby Hospital Foundation.The Auxiliary was also one of the original volunteer groups who raised funds to build Burnaby Hospital over 60 years ago. Volunteers at special events like Train Day for Burnaby Hospital help raise awareness in the community about how donations are making a difference.Train Day for Burnaby Hospital raised almost $17,000 to help purchase medical equipment at Burnaby Hospital.

Volunteering – a Time-Honoured Burnaby Tradition

by Kelina Kwan When we live in a vibrant city, we often take a lot of things for granted - that is until we need some services, and then we are thankful that someone has thought of building schools, police stations and hospitals, etc.This became apparent to me when I noticed that Burnaby Hospital is celebrating its 60th Anniversary. So more than 60 years ago, there was no hospital in Burnaby. How did the hospital come into existence? I was curious. So I put the question to Stephanie Leung, Communications Specialist at the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, and not surprisingly, the history of the hospital goes back to a timehonoured tradition in the city – volunteering.

“Not many people are aware that back in the 1940s, the idea to build Burnaby Hospital actually started with a group of volunteers, who then continue to raise the nickels and dimes needed to actually build the hospital” Leung said.“And you can still see the strong spirit of volunteering today.” The hospital has a group of wonderful volunteers called the Auxiliary to the Burnaby Hospital.They are one of the original volunteer groups who helped to build the hospital, so this group has been active for more than 60 years.Today, the auxiliary helps out in the area of patient comfort and spiritual care.“You see so many of these volunteers really adding warmth to our community” Leung said. The auxiliary also runs a number of programs,

such as the vendor kiosk program in the hospital cafeteria. Partial proceeds of the program go back to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation. “Not only do they volunteer their time to help patients and focus on patient comfort, they also fundraise and donate a substantial amount to the foundation. Apart from the auxiliary, volunteers also help with administrative work in the Burnaby Hospital Foundation’s ofﬁce.The foundation is the charitable organization that raises ﬁnancial resources to make Burnaby Hospital the best it can be, including raising funds for state-of-the-art technology or capital project for the development of the hospital.“Not many people are aware that hospital equipment

gets used and can become outdated very quickly because the technology is improving all the time” Leung explained.The foundation works very hard to raise funds through direct donations and support as well as through many special events. They are currently gearing up for their 15th Annual Rhythm of Life Fun Run to be held on Sunday, September 8at Burnaby Lake Park. Over 100 volunteers traditionally come out and help in this fun, outdoor event for over 600 participants. The hospital also manages a very large volunteer program – the Burnaby Hospital Volunteer Resources. Although this is a separate program to the hospital foundation volunteers and the auxiliary, they all work together to make Burnaby Hospital a better place for

patients. In 2012, the volunteer resources have over 400 active volunteers who help out in various areas throughout the hospital. When asked why people volunteer for the foundation and the hospital, Leung said that many donors and volunteers see the direct relationship between the hospital that had helped them and their families, and how their “giving” to the hospital can help other people . Thus the time-honoured tradition of volunteering continues. The Burnaby Hospital and the Burnaby Hospital Foundation are always looking for volunteers.

Berry happy: Blanche Gettling, a volunteer with the Burnaby Village Museum, cuts one of the annual Canada Day cakes at a previous July 1 celebration. The village serves about 4,000 pieces every Canada Day. The museum gets the cakes made by Liberty Bakery in Vancouver. The Union Jack cakes also include blueberries.

UNION JACK CAKE HAS REAL BERRIES, REAL CREAM AND REAL PASTRY

A very sweet city tradition The folks over at Burnaby Village Museum are excited for another great day of celebrations for Canada’s 146th birthday on July 1. Each year the museum hosts a day of events for Canada Day, featuring the ever-popular Canadian and Union Jack cakes. “It’s a long tradition,” said Nancy Stagg, marketing coordinator for the museum.

The cakes, made by Liberty Bakery in Vancouver, have been a fixture at the event for years, even before Stagg began working there in the late ‘90s. “They’re real sponge, real pastry cream, real whipped cream, real berries,” she said. The Union Jack cake is made of blueberries, strawberries and cream, while the Canadian flag cake is a red and white design made up of strawberries

and cream. The different ingredients are brought in by truck by 10 a.m. on July 1 and the baking staff works all day to have them ready for the public by 3 p.m. Stagg said the village serves about 4,000 pieces of cake every Canada Day. “Not everybody gets a taste, unfortunate, but true. Some people line up for an hour for their cake … other people try and catch the tail end of the line,” she said.

TerraBioGen Technologies Inc. has operated its research facility out of North Vancouver for the past 20 years, which used to process food waste for conversion into a liquid or granular fertilizer product, according to a media release. “The company sold licenses for this technology and continued its research to refine and define the active ingredients found in its end products,” the release states. “In mid-2011, TerraBioGen changed its focus from waste conversion to research and development based on the isolation of the bioactive materials that impacted the end product performance.” The new facility is located at 8536 Baxter Pl., where it will work on further development, formulation and patenting of additional agriculturally bioactive compounds. For more information about the company, visit www.terrabiogen.com.

Local company gets green nod

Burnaby-based company Hemlock Printers was recognized by Canopy for its green initiatives in a

recent survey across North America. Canopy, a not-for-profit environmental organization, released its North American 2013 Green Print Leadership Report and Hemlock was a category leader. “This acknowledgment firms up our commitment to stay the course on our journey, and will hopefully inspire others in our industry to join the cause,” said Dick Kouwenhoven, Hemlock’s chairman and CEO, in a media release. Hemlock was the first printing company in the Pacific Northwest to receive Forest Stewardship Council’s chain-of-custody certification in 2004. “As well, it was the first printer in North America to work with Canopy to develop and adopt an overarching Ancient Forest Friendly policy, and since 2009, Hemlock’s customers have been able to offset any carbon impact of their print-based projects through the exclusive zero program,” the release states.

The Lower Mainland Green Team is looking for volunteers to get outdoors and help the environment. The group, started by Surrey resident Lyda Salatian, gives people a way to get together while making their communities more environmentally friendly. “We want to get people together and tackling environmental issues that need a group of people,” Salatian said. “(But) it’s more than just that. … We want to restore, conserve and enhance our natural environment by engaging volunteers in educational hands-on activities.” Since the group started in 2011, Salatian has been amassing volunteers from all over the Lower Mainland for a variety of projects. Typical activities include removing invasive plants, restoring shoreline habitat, preparing and harvesting vegetable beds on community farms, planting native plants and trees and picking up litter. The group has completed 5,081 volunteer hours, and they’ve removed more than 50,000 pounds of invasive species and plant-

GARDENING

Advice on flowering plants GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: Geraniums in two planters on my south-facing balcony have wintered well and still have blooms. Is it too late to cut them back? If it’s not too late, how should it be done? Clare Daem, via email Answer: It’s not too late to cut them back. They’ll grow rapidly now warmer weather is here and cutting back will give you a more shapely plant that will flower more prolifically. But those new shoots will set buds and bloom somewhat later than normal. If you don’t cut it back, your geranium will keep on flowering with blooms on the end of leggy stems. These stems will lengthen and get more gangly as summer continues. Cutting back is done by pruning half to one-third the length of the stems. Just sever them slightly above the leaf joint closest to the height you choose. ◆ Question: My crocuses are spreading wildly in thick masses of foliage which never produce any flowers. Should I dig them up, separate the tiny bulbs and plant them again, or just act like they’re a weed and get rid of them completely? My garden space is very limited and the other bulbs are getting crowded out. Margaret Kernaghan, Vancouver Answer: The crocus which is the most notorious spreader and seeder is the little “Snow Crocus” (Crocus

tomasinianus) but it’s also a prolific flowerer as long as it’s planted where sun can get to it. This is an important point for the crocus. Shade severely inhibits crocus flowering. Is it possible that tall trees or nearby shrubs (yours or the neighbours) are blocking adequate sunlight from entering your crocus area. Separating them and planting them again would be very timeconsuming even if you had enough space, and unless you can plant them in a well-drained, sun-drenched spot, you’d probably get the same problem. But your other bulbs must be protected against extreme competition. If you do have a small, sunnier spot, it would be best to separate and replant just a few crocuses. The others may have to be composted. ◆ Question: Last year my Fritillaria imperialis (Crown Imperial or Kaiser’s Crown) produced numerous beautiful flowers. This year, the plant has failed to produce any flowers. Could you please advise what causes this problem. Ed, via email Answer: In B.C., Fritillaria imperialis is not especially difficult to grow, but it can be difficult to flower unless it’s located in perfect conditions. You’re not alone in having problems with this species. This fritillaria needs a great deal of sun, warmth, rich soil and very good drainage. The top of the bulb is slightly concave – that’s why it’s best to plant fritillaria bulbs on their side so that rainwater won’t pool in the top and cause rotting.

Retiring Burnaby fire Chief Shaun Redmond took his final ride in the fire engine June 21 during his walkout ceremony at the Sperling Avenue fire station. Colleagues, family and friends from the community were all in attendance during the ceremony to say farewell to the retiring chief. Firefighters from the other stations in Burnaby also took part in the ceremony over the radio feeds, wishing Redmond

well in retirement and thanking him for all his hard work. In the end – after a little hiccup with the first engine’s battery – Redmond hopped in the truck and was driven away for a final ride through the city he served as a firefighter and fire chief for more than three decades. Redmond’s replacement, Deputy Chief Doug McDonald, will be taking over the position of fire chief for the Burnaby department right away. cdobie@burnabynow.com

Three ways to get fit Shaun Karp

he best way to attain optimal fitness is to divide the task into its three basic components: proper nutrition, cardiovascular training, and muscle strengthening. But remember, simple is not the same as easy!

Nutrition

Avoid simple carbs, seek protein, and maintain moderation. When developing a healthy eating plan, focus on making small changes you can maintain. Begin by avoiding simple carbohydrates whenever possible. These quickly absorbed, calorie-dense molecules are found in mainly in refined sugars and white flour and are found in most prepackaged, processed foods. You should even avoid eating sweet fruits after the early afternoon due to their high sugar content.

Cardio training

Cardiovascular exercise is 100 per cent required in any fitness routine because it helps to burn off extra calories, even later when you are at rest. You can choose from using the stationary bike, treadmill, stair climber, and other pieces of indoor equipment. Or you can get outside and go hiking, walking or cycling. To achieve the best results, significantly elevate your heart rate for 20 to 50 minutes at least four times each week. To do so, keep your heart rate,

measured in beats per minute, above 60 per cent of your maximum, which can be determined by subtracting your age from 220. So, if you were 45 years old, that would mean maintaining 105/bpm for at least 80 minutes per week.

Strength training

The final key to attaining optimal fitness is a regular strength routine, for both men and women. Your lifting program should feature exercises for every major muscle group, including your chest, back, limbs and abdominals. You can get good results by performing your strength routine twice weekly. But if you’re serious about muscle gain, you can consider strength training up to five times per week, just be sure not to neglect your cardio. To improve tone, perform three sets of about 12 moderately challenging repetitions per exercise. For bulk, do three sets of up to eight difficult reps, or until failure. Be sure to talk to your doctor before starting any fitness program.

KEEPING FIT

Instead, consume the complex carbohydrates found in whole grains, and try snacking on a plate of green veggies, such as broccoli or cucumber. Replace the calories missed from eliminating your sugar fixes with the filling, slow-to-digest proteins, found in nuts, legumes and lean meats. These will also help you maintain a healthy muscle mass. You can also lose weight by eating only until you feel about 60 per cent full, even if that means adding an additional meal or healthy snack each day.

Summertime and the RVing is Easy - and Insured because they’re fun and provide a greater sense of freedom compared to standard holiday trips. Although a special license isn’t required to drive most RVs, the experts at Desjardins General Insurance Group advise that it’s nothing like driving a car. Here are some points to remember:

There’s a wide assortment to choose from these days – everything from expensive bus-like mo-

• Be cautious and allow more time to brake, change lanes, turn and merge into trafﬁc

reversing to avoid any obstacles not seen in your mirrors.

• Be sure your vehicle can handle the trailer you are towing. Most SUVs, light-duty trucks and full and mid-size family cars can pull an RV trailer, but be sure to check the maximum weight and factor in any of your belongings inside the trailer. • Use the right trailer hitch, connect brake and signal lights and make sure they are synchronized with your vehicle.

Whether you own or rent your mobile vacation home, the Desjardins General Insurance Group advisors suggest that you have adequate insurance coverage before heading out into trafﬁc. It’s important to contact your insurance company with all the details well in advance of your vacation. Recreational vehicles are manufactured by many different companies with a wide assortment of extras and options, all of which should be taken into account in the insurance coverage. Basically, your RV insurance policy protects you from

tor-homes, to towable travel trailers, to camper vans, to relatively inexpensive pop-up camping trailers. Recreational vehicles are popular mainly

• If you’ve never pulled a trailer before, you’ll probably ﬁnd that backing up is the biggest challenge. If possible, get some practice with the help of someone experienced with trailers before heading out on your holiday. And always ask someone to stand outside the vehicle when

• Up to 5 litres of 5W30, 10W30, 5W20 • Oil Filter Includes: 21 point Inspection • Oil/Oil Filter • Inspect tires • Free tire rotation

With the proper insurance coverage, and a sensible safety-ﬁrst approach to driving, an RV holiday will give you and your travel-mates memories that last a lifetime.

More horsepower gives Audi S7 extra oomph David Chao contributor

The 2013 Audi S7 – the ‘sports’ version of the already impressive A7 – is a car that brings an amazing level of performance, power, and prestige without sacrificing the balance of comfort and convenience. While the cosmetic changes that separate the A7 from the S7 are subtle, the extra oomph that the S7 brings to the table in the form of horsepower is significant and impressive indeed.

Design

The 2013 Audi S7 delivers superb performance but it can also help you run your ‘normal chores’ – thanks to a functionality that can also impress. Some may not be fans of what could be described loosely as a luxury hatchback (at least in terms of the basic architecture sense), but this is by far

the best looking example available. And, while looks go a long way in this segment, a dash of practicality can also sweeten the package. In the looks department, S models are dressed with a unique version of Audi’s singleframe grill, plus aero treatments on the front fascia and down the sides. Black brake calipers, aluminium optic side mirrors, gray rear diffuser, quad polished exhaust tips and V8T fender badges are also featured on this model. Having said that, you really have to spend some time behind the wheel to get a true sense of what makes the S7 an S7. Essentially, that means better steering feel and flatter handling, to name just some of the upgrades. And of course, there’s the out-of-this-world power upgrade thanks to the turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 with cylinder deactivation. This is the same engine

found in the Bentley Continental GT but output here is 420-hp and 405 ft-lbs of torque – slightly detuned from the Bentley version. All S7s feature the most advanced quattro allwheel-drive system available. It has an active rear differential which not only splits torque to whichever rear wheel is demanding the most traction, but it also shifts power to the outside wheel when cornering to help you get through with less steering input. A lowered air suspension with variable damping and bigger brakes complete the package.

Performance

Functional: The 2013 Audi S7 luxury hatchback combines superb performance with practical features, such as better steering and flatter handling.

When set to Dynamic, Audi’s Drive Select system firms up the suspension settings and adds more responsive, weighted steering. It also quickens the throttle response, and with the pedal is pushed

to the floor, the S7’s rear biased all-wheel drive system instantly hooks up and propels you forward. It takes only 4.7 seconds to reach 100 km/h, which

seven-speed dual clutch transmission, accompanied by a ferociously pleasant exhaust note. As fun as all that is, the

is almost a full second better than the A7 with the top engine. Things are stable the whole way up to its 250 km top speed with firm shifts from the

Audi: High quality, stunning interior design makes it stand out

Environment

What really stands out about the 2013 Audi S7 is the sheer quality of the inter-

spacious. There’s plenty of knee room, and despite its sloping roof line, headroom is fine for all but the tallest people. The S7 is also a highly functional car, with Audi’s intuitive MMI interface standard along with features like Bluetooth and a DVD player. But you do have to pay a price for such features and the S7 costs $20,000 more than the base A7.

Features

The Audi S7 is only available in one model and has a starting price of $89,300. The impressive standard equipment list includes a glass sunroof, adaptive headlights, rearview camera, heated seats in the front and rear, BOSE surround sound system, MMI touch navigation system, iPod integration and Bluetooth.

Additional optional features are included in packages such as the Driver Assistance package, which provides adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and Audi pre-sense plus; the Vision package boasting a heads-up display and night vision; and a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, featuring 19 speakers for genuine 5.1 surround sound. The fuel efficiency ratings for the S7 are 12.7L/100km city and 8.3L/100km highway.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for long-distance comfort with superb performance edge, wrapped in an extremely stylish and functional package, the 2013 Audi S7 is clearly a great pick.

S7 is just as entertaining to drive at normal, going-to-work pace. The only complaint? When in full auto mode, the transmission shifting can be a touch irregular under certain circumstances, but nothing out of the normal. The cylinderon-demand system is virtually undetectable thanks to active engine mounts that quell vibrations. The S7 even has noise cancellation inside the cabin that eliminates any audible clues. The big advantage of this system is it helps improve fuel economy ratings to 12.7L/100km city and 8.3L/100km highway.

It’s the same gorgeous interior as found in the A7, although updates like Valcona leather seats with cross-stitching makes the S7 distinct. The S-sport steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles, unique gray instrument cluster, aluminium pedals, and illuminated S7 labelled door sill plates also make the interior feel special feel. But as mentioned, the S7 isn’t only about image, it’s also practical. Being a liftback means easy access to the trunk, and while it might not be very deep, it goes back a long way. Of course, you can always fold down the rear seats if you need to carry larger items. Sitting in the rear, the S7 feels quite

CV transmission good for fuel economy

Dear Tom and Ray: I’m considering getting a new Honda Accord fourcylinder. For 2013, Honda went to a CV transmission, replacing the five-speed automatic. I wonder about the longevity of this type of transmission; the effect on fuel economy; and the overall driving experience for someone (me) who has driven both manuals and automatics for 50 years. Your carefully considered opinion is appreciated. – Pete TOM: Would you settle for one of our usual opinions, which are ill-considered and half-baked? RAY: I think it’s fine for you to get the CVT, Pete. We’re living in a period of rapid gear inflation. For a long time, we had three-speed transmissions. Then came four-, five- and, pretty quickly, six-speed automatics. Then, in just the past couple of years, we started seeing sevenand eight-speeds, and now we hear about companies working on nine- and 10speed gearboxes.

Ray & Tom Magliozzi

gas, like when you’re on a highway on-ramp, you’ll notice that the engine revs way up at first, to give you immediate power. And then, as the car picks up speed, the engine actually goes slower and slower as the transmission continues to adjust the gear ratios as the car needs less power. TOM: It’s a little odd at first, but so was trying to work with my brother, and I got used to it. RAY: It’s certainly not a reason to avoid the car, Pete. And while there’s no guarantee, Honda, overall, has a pretty good track record for durability and reliability. TOM: I’d suggest you go and test-drive one. You’ll see what we’re talking about. Make sure you include some sort of sudden, harder acceleration in your test drive so you can experience the primary difference we’re talking about. RAY: But remember, every new technology is a little weird at first. When the first automatic transmissions came out, it was weird not to shift the gears yourself. When the first anti-lock brakes came out, it was weird not to pump the pedal in a panic stop. And when the first iPhone came out, it was weird to be able to have such a cool phone and still not hear what the other person was saying.

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS

TOM: The reason to add gears is that, generally speaking, the more gears you have, the better your fuel economy. The more you can match the demands of your driving to the most efficient gear ratio for those demands, the less fuel you waste. RAY: ACVT (continuously variable transmission) is a gearbox with infinitely variable ratios. Actually, no gears at all – just belts that move constantly up and down two coneshaped pulley-thingies to adjust the gear ratios. TOM: It’s definitely a plus for fuel economy. That’s why Honda has started using it. RAY: In terms of longevity, we don’t really know. Some of the early CVTs had trouble with hightorque engines. But Nissan and other companies have been using them successfully for years now, and, so far, there don’t seem to be any particular problems. TOM: The driving experience is a little different. Under most normal, gentle driving conditions, you probably won’t even notice it. Good transmissions are so smooth these days that you barely feel you really need to accelerate, you will see a difference in the way the transmission and engine interact with each other. RAY: If you stomp on the

Keep your mind on the road New research demonstrates that even when drivers have their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, they may still be distracted, according to the Canadian Automobile Association. An intensive research project, underwritten by the association’s partner, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, found that cognitive distraction is real. In other words, activities ranging from listening to the radio to engaging with text-to-audio software distract the brain from focusing on the road, even if physically drivers are doing what they should. The research, released earlier this month, was conducted by a team at the University of Utah. They used medical technology and driving simulators to measure what actually happens inside the brain while drivers were asked to perform a range of tasks such as listening to an audio book.

Research findings showed that reaction times are slowed, brain function is compromised and motorists often miss potential environmental cues such as stop signs, pedestrians or other cars while engaged in mentally distracting tasks. “This research shows the old advice is still the best – focus on driving in the car, and leave other tasks for the side of the road or once you reach your destination,” Jeff Walker, the association’s vicepresident of public affairs, said in a press release. “We look forward to seeing the results of the next stages as we consider the implications of these important findings.” Phase Two of the research will attempt an in-depth ranking of the danger level of the various mental tasks people do in cars, using the same way of measuring and comparing different types of distractions. editorial@burnabynow.com

About KIDS ALL

Do you have some information to share about parenting or kids’ services or events in Burnaby? Email it to jfuller-evans@ burnabynow.com –make sure you put ‘All about kids’ in the subject line.

It’s all about the plan

he kids were toddlers, the wedding was in Toronto and we lived in Vancouver. Our oldest, Chelsea, was just barely toilet-trained and her brother was in diapers. We decided a road trip was in order. It was the first of many and we learned many lessons and tricks along the way. The first thing we did was decide that we would drive to Calgary and assess the situation. If we knew that going all the way to Toronto just wasn’t in the cards, we would turn around and make it a successful Calgary trip. While in Calgary, we stayed with my high school friend’s parents. That was a great idea. They had raised eight children and loved having little ones in the house. More than that, they gave us advice. For starters, they were optimistic (unlike our childless friends who all thought we were crazy for heading off with two toddlers). They told us it would be fun and we would have lots of good memories. They were right. They also reminded us that kids need lots of breaks. Driving for eight hours straight is not going to work. So we developed a plan. Get up in the morning, dress, pack, have a bit of juice and immediately hit the road. Then an hour or two later when the kids were fully awake it was time to stop for breakfast. We found they would eat well at this meal. Another habit we developed was that whenever we had a restaurant meal one of us would have a relaxing after meal coffee while the other took the kids out for a walk or a run. So on alternate meals, each adult got a glorious quiet 15 minutes of alone time. We’d pick up some picnic supplies and off we went. Lunch was a picnic so the kids could stretch their legs, run around and enjoy fresh air and exercise before getting back in the car. After lunch they napped.

every day, we would play the tape and laugh. To this day, all four of us can quote lines from the tape and crack up. So find some silly, fun way to pass that final leg of the trip. Travelling with kids is all about planning, knowing what they will need and what they can handle. It’s also about attitude. So pack up the car and have a great trip.

with new toys. I would pick up some small toys and dole them out from time to time. We developed not only the usual car games but also adjustments on the family favourites, particularly Trivial Pursuit. When older kids are involved in the planning, they are much happier. So let them handle some of the logistics. Whether you have a print travel book or electronic, they love to research what towns with decent motels are nearby. Our kids became expert at reading between the description lines and finding places to stay that easily met our needs. And doing the research kept them occupied for the toughest time of the day, the late afternoon. And speaking of that, we also had a secret I will share with you. We had a hilarious Bill Cosby tape (OK this was before CDs) that we all loved. In the last half hour of the day,

PARENTING

Then it was mid-afternoon break with exercise time and a snack. We stopped early in the evening and always looked for a playground. We learned that playgrounds could often be a challenge to find but that every elementary school has some sort of play space. Throughout the trip we discovered that with these young kids it was important to maintain the basic schedule. Naptimes, meal times and bedtimes stayed pretty much constant throughout, and as a result we found they were open to the new experiences and people along the way. Because Chelsea was newly toilet trained we brought a potty chair so when nature called we could respond quickly. Each year, we added to our experiences. We learned that it’s a good idea to have a number of toys that lend themselves to seated play. We also learned to surprise the kids

LOCAL RESOURCE OF INFORMATION & IDEAS FOR TODAY’S BUSY FAMILIES

How to choose the right Preschool Choosing the right preschool for your child is a very important process. Ellen James and Laura Miks are the founders of Advantage Preschool and have been teaching there for almost 30 years. Together they offer some helpful information on what to look for in quality childcare. Ellen James suggests that parents take the time to research their options before making a ﬁnal decision. Don’t be afraid to ask friends, neighbors or even the local elementary schools for recommendations. “Referrals are our best form of advertising”, says James. “New parents are interested in the quality of the programs, how attentive the teachers are and how successfully their child will eventually transition into kindergarten”. Laura Miks suggests that parents take the time to observe several preschools during session times. This gives the parents an opportunity to meet the teachers personally, see ﬁrst hand how they interact with the children and observe the dynamics of the classroom. They can ask themselves: “Does the equipment look safe and in good condition? Does

the environment seem to encourage each child to explore and discover? Do the kids seem calm, socially engaged and challenged?” Parents should take a cautionary note if the toys are in a state of disrepair, if there is a chaotic feel to the classroom or if classtime visits are discouraged. Many preschools emphasize the academic component of their program but at Advantage Preschool, the teachers emphasize that free play is an essential part of a balanced, child centered curriculum. Ellen and Laura agree that play is a fundamental activity in a child’s growth and development. It is a prerequisite for learning and is one of the predictors of later school success. Through play, children learn their way and create their own community. They connect their inside and outside worlds as they interpret their own unique experiences and sense of self. During free play time, parents should observe a vibrant community of children playing, leaning and having fun.. The students should be self directed but looking to the teachers for guidance when needed. Ellen and Laura both suggest that parents look for a daily schedule that balances free play with more structured activities. The schedule however, should not be “written in stone” but allow for ﬂexibility and include an opportunity for the students to be involved in their own learning.

Advantage Preschool supports an “emergent curriculum” which is a plan for learning based on the collaborative interests and passions of the teachers and students. Using observation, documentation and conversation the teachers are able to follow the children’s lead to provide a curriculum that is socially engaging, intellectually stimulating and personally meaningful to all. For more information please visit www.advantagepreschool.ca Ellen and Laura welcome comments and questions regarding preschool education and speciﬁc concerns about child development. Please feel free to contact them at “thegoils@advantagepreschool.ca”

Now that I use your Super IQ Brain Function #36 I seem to be back to normal. I recommend it to anyone experiencing memory loss of any kind. Glenn A. Guidry Ph.D., 55, Nashville, TN ! Student was surprised with final exams results of 95%! I started taking Bell IQ Function #36 half a year ago when I had trouble remembering things in a course. Things changed drastically when I started to take these capsules. I could concentrate and excel better than ever before. Exams results were 95% correct! Theresa Williamson, 31, Toronto, ON ! 96 year old lady has some of #36 her mental life back! I bought the Bell Super IQ Brain Function #36 for my grandma who has dementia .

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel #23 rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

WALL CENTRE CENTRAL PARK VANCOUVER HOMES FROM $229,900

ocation is often considered the most important thing when choosing a home. But for buyers looking to set down roots in Metro Vancouver, affordability and access to transit have to factor into the equation. Wall Group of Companies’ latest development offers location, affordability, and great transit all at one Vancouver address: Wall Centre Central Park. “CollingwoodiswhereEastVancouver’s next hot community is taking shape,” said Bob Rennie, Director and Principal at Rennie Marketing Systems, which is handling sales of the first two towers being offered at Wall Centre Central Park. “With its location just steps from the 90-hectare Central Park, you will have access to amazing park facilities includ-

ing an outdoor pool, pitch-and-putt golf course, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and more.

Making all the right decisions Tom Berridge sports editor

Climbing the ranks of international officialdom can be a bit like snakes and ladders at times, but so far for Burnaby’s Megan Robertson it’s been a steady climb. The 31-year-old umpire earned the International Field Hockey badge – the first stage of a five-step ladder to world panel status – last year at the Pan American junior championships in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since then, Robertson earned a hockey federation appointment as a women’s umpire at the South American championships in Santiago, Chile in January. In September, the Simon Fraser University grad student will be off to Argentina for her biggest assignment yet – the Pan Am Cup – a qualifying tournament for the upcoming World Cup. Although Robertson umpired her first international six years earlier, it’s all about being at the right venue at the right time in order to receive the official scrutiny, she said. Getting the plum appointments is one thing, but because of a lack of funding and the relatively low profile of field hockey in Canada, getting to the venues is on the official’s own dime. “It’s the experience of it – of being on the field, of having that experience,” said Robertson, who only began officiating at a national level a decade ago. “I imagine it’s what an athlete feels – you’re in a zone, things are going well, you’re working with a colleague. There’s nothing like it.” Robertson graduated from Burnaby South Secondary School in 2000 and then went to the University of British Columbia, where the perennial collegiate national champion women’s field hockey reigned. Although Robertson never played for the 13-time champions, she has been a faithful supporter and player with the Burnaby Lake club for the past 15 seasons. Robertson also mentors young

Green card: Burnaby’s Megan Robertson is climbing the ranks of Canada’s accomplished international umpires. umpires, enjoying the thrill of seeing the emotion they gain from the experience. She took up umpiring on the encouragement of her mother, Sue Robertson, a recent winner of a

President’s service award for field hockey from Sports B.C. “It felt like a lot of little steps, working my way to that level” Robertson said of her rise up the ranks.

She remembers her first international assignment well. It was at UBC during an international friendly between Canada and Chile. One of her best friends and the most capped player in Canadian history, Stephanie Jamieson, was playing for the women’s national team. “I had to give her a yellow card. It was the flow of the game, I just knew it was going to result in a yellow card. It was my first time carding,” said Robertson. “She was nice enough to sign that yellow card. It was one of my favourite moments in international hockey.” In her desire to achieve a higher status, Robertson makes a study of how other officials are managing their assignments. She looks for those sublteties in the care and concern about what they are trying to do. At present, the World League Round3inRotterdam,Netherlands is occupying her interest. “The two onfield umpires are a team out there. What I really love about umpiring is that team experience,” Robertson said. “When it’s going well, that trust you have, you can feel it. It doesn’t matter whether you make a mistake, you know you will get the decision right.” With the official’s emphasis on safety and showcasing the players’ skills, umpires always have a game plan as to how best to manage things on the field. It is that communication and understanding between officials that has, as much as anything, brought Robertson to her present world standing. A fond memory is working with a peer colleague Gillian Horgan from Vancouver Island, another federation badge recipient who has officiated at the Commonwealth Games. Another highlight was the semifinal game in Mexico between Argentiina and the United States she umpired with New Zealand’s

Anaka, who enters the competition ranked seventh in the FILA world rankings in her weight class, claimed gold at the 2013 Pan Am championships, bronze at the 2007 world juniors, 12th at the 2012 senior worlds and eighth at the 2012 FISU championships. Prior to departing for Russia, Anaka, along with SFU’s Justina

DiStasio, will compete in the Canada Cup in Toronto. Lappage won the bronze medal at the 2012 FISU championship and the gold at the 2010 world juniors. Anthony competed last weekend and finished second in her competition, winning the challenge tournament but losing her first and third bouts to last year’s world bronze medalist, Alyson Lampe at the U.S.A.

New Westminster’s Kevin Crowley continues to lead Major League Lacrosse scoring following the Hamilton Nationals’ 1711 win over the Rochester Rattlers on Saturday. Crowley tallied a firsthalf hat trick to help pace the Nationals to a 6-2 record, second-best in the MLL. Crowley’s three goals increased his point streak to 23 games – the longest in franchise history. He has been held to two goals or less on just three occasions this season. The first round draft pick in the Western Lacrosse Association indoor summer league in 2010 currently tops all scorers with 26 goals and 35 points in the pro field league, one point better than Paul Rabil of Boston. The Denver Outlawa currently lead the eightteam pro field lacrosse league with an unblemished 8-0 record.

Travel teams

SFU women’s basketball player Erin Chambers was named to the 11-player roster that will represent Canada at the upcoming Summer Universiade. Chambers is coming off her sophomore season with the Clan, one that saw the women’s basketball program reach the Sweet 16 at the NCAA Division II national tournament.

In other field lacrosse news, the Burnaby Mountain Selects announced its summer travel rosters. Mackenzie Burns of Burnaby Central, Joshua DuMont of St. Thomas More Collegiate and Notre Dame student Lucas Greene were all named to the boys’ sophomore elite team in the midfield. From New Westminster, Alex Friesen made the boys’ elite varsity team at big stick; Niklas Friesen was named goalie of the sophomore elite team; Tate Friesen earned an attack spot on the under-13 elite team; while Erik Maas was also named to the elite freshmen team in the midfield. The four travel teams, including 81 student/athletes, will represent the Selects at top U.S. tournaments in Colorado, Indiana and Maryland. Next month, the sophomore team will travel to

Sumie François of Burnaby was tied for 27th place after two rounds of the B.C. amateur women’s golf championships at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club on Wednesday.

The Burnaby junior B Lakers gave a better account of themselves against Coquitlam but the result turned out the same. For the second time in a week, Burnaby bowed to the first-place Coquitlam Adanacs, falling 11-7 at home in the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League on Saturday. Last week, the B Lakers were frustrated 12-4 by the junior A’s at home. At the Bill Copeland Sports Centre, Burnaby played the first and third periods even up. The difference was a sevengoal middle frame for Coquitlam. Burnaby led 3-2 following the opening period, but lost its traction in the middle frame when outscored 7-1. Kevan Galte led the juniors with two goals and two helpers. Aaron Roberts, Connor Pagnani and intermediate callup Aidan Milburn all helped out with a goal and one assist. Cody Gilliam made 40 saves in goal for Burnaby. On Monday, the B’s got back on a winning footing, blasting the Surrey Rebels

14-4 in Cloverdale. Milburn paced the juniors with three goals and one assist, while Pagnani also registered a hat trick. Scott Petursson led all scorers with a six-point night, including a pair of goals. Aaron Roberts also scored twice. Galte chipped in with five helpers. The win improved Burnaby’s record to 10-4-1 good for third place in the West Coast league.

Another defeat

The Burnaby junior A Lakers’ 13th straight loss was the unluckiest yet. The failing franchise suffered its worst loss of the season Tuesday, falling 277 to the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena. Burnaby was never in the contest, surrendering the game’s first goal 17 seconds after the opening faceoff. New Westminster piled on seven more goals to end the first period ahead 8-2. The ’Bellies opened both the second and third periods in similar fashion, scoring quickly before half-a-minute had ticked off the score clock. New Westminster out-

It’s really cool.” She believes the best way to keep her star ascendant is to show her personality and be herself on the field. It was a moment she could hardly wait for when she was forced to sit out her first assignment in Mexico

as a reserve. “I wanted to get out there and show what I can do and get started,” she remembered. “When I got my chance, and walked out on that field, that’s the feeling I wanted – to be prepared, ready for anything that can happen. Part of why I keep doing this is it’s chasing that feeling, being in that moment and ready to go.”

BURNABY SPORTS BRIEFS The North Burnaby Boxing Club won all four of its matches on a card at the Sunplex Arena in Kelowna last Saturday. Junior Connor Hollingshead scored a third-round technical knockout over Logan Wolf of Kelowna at 110 pounds. Leo Sammarelli earned a unanimous decision over Russ Lavery of Port Kells in a junior 135-lbs. lightweight bout. In the senior division, Ilya Kovalenko won a decision on all the judges’ cards over Tom Bennet of Port Kells in the 140 lbs. light welterweight class. In a light heavyweight bout, Phil Ryan fought back from a cut over the right eye from an accidental head butt in the opening round to score a split decision victory over Jory Hoffarth of Kelowna.

Burnaby Minor Hockey Association is a community based non-proﬁt with a philosophy that all children who wish to learn the skills of hockey should have the opportunity. BMHA’s goal is to provide an environment in which these children can learn hockey skills, play at a level consistent with their aspirations, learn good sportsmanship and develop into young men and women that their parents and the community can be proud of.

Amber Church, a promising official who is on the watchlist for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. “Learning from her, and just the feeling of being on the field and everything just fell into place that night. It was a good night,” Robertson said. “Watching Argentina you’re in awe. These young women are so talented. But to think, ‘I can do this. I belong here and I can be a part of this game,’ is what makes that moment magical for an umpire.” The upcoming World Cup qualifier is Robertson’s next big test. To take that step, she must once again make that, at times difficult, choice between school and work that has allowed her to pursue her passion. But it is not a choice she makes alone. “It is my family that has really helped me make those choices and supported me,” she said somewhat emotionally. “For me – my family – they see me and support me, and it doesn’t matter if I have a bad game or I don’t get that appointment. Whatever happens I still have this amazing family and friends who
