burnaby now april 15 2016

After whirlwind weekendthat saw the federal NDP’sleader ousted at the party’snational convention, localMPs in NewWestminsterand Burnaby are now takingstock of the events.

And for NewWestmin-ster-Burnaby MP Peter Ju-lian, he has some thinking

to do with a leadership con-vention on the horizon.

The longtime MP saidhe’s not ruling out a runfor the party’s leadership,but added he needs time tothink about it and talk to hisconstituents.

“I’ll be talking to folksin my riding,” he told theNOW. “I’ll be listening towhat they have to say.Therewill be a time to consider

the question of leadership,but that time is not rightnow.”

It was a stunning week-end for political observers,as NDP leaderTom Mulcairwas rejected by his party,losing a leadership vote withjust 48 per cent support.

It comes six months aftera disappointing third-placefinish in the federal electionfor the NDP and now sets

up a leadership conventionwithin the next two years.

Julian, who publicly sup-ported Mulcair, said he wassurprised by the results.

“I was saddened,” hesaid, suggesting it was Mul-cair’s work as the Opposi-tion leader in the House ofCommons that helped top-ple the Conservative gov-ernment last election.

When asked whether the

party is divided as many po-litical commentators havesuggested, Julian arguedthat’s not the case.

“It resolves the issue,we’re going to have leader-ship convention,” he said.

Instead, Julian suspectsthe party will have some se-rious debates about how tomove the party forward inthe coming years.

“I think it’s extremely im-

portant we go through thisprocess with a chance tolook at where we are now asa party and how we can bestserve Canadians,” he said.

It’s a similar sentiment forBurnaby South MP Kenne-dy Stewart.

He acknowledged theparty was divided over Mul-cair’s leadership, but he said

There’s a new bee-word in town, and it’sa lot sweeter than the other one.

Frank Ferrucci just had a bee hive de-livered to his North Burnaby home by3B Honeybee, a Langley-based beekeep-ing company that provides hives for Low-er Mainland residents on their propertiesfrom spring to summer’s end. Honeybeesimprove residents’ gardens through pollina-tion and produce around four jars of honeyeach season.

“Everyone realizes the benefit of it rightaway,” said Ferrucci, who’s had a hive in hisbackyard for four years.

Arthur Barker of 3B Honeybee launchedthe Sponsor a Hive program five years agoas a way to locally combat the global de-cline of the bee population. He said theprogram – which has a handful of custom-ers in Burnaby – has been generally well-re-ceived and hasn’t drawn complaints fromclients’ neighbours.

“If anyone has any concerns, we try to‘sweeten the deal,’ as we say, and offer themsome honey,” Barker said. “(Honeybees)don’t bother people – they’re not interestedin people.”

The incentive of honey and a flourish-ing garden aren’t the only perks that draw

in residents like Ferrucci. He said he alsosponsors a hive to help increase the hon-eybee population. According to Barker, 30per cent of the population is lost each win-ter.

“I don’t do this because I get a tax re-ceipt – you don’t get a tax receipt – I doit simply because something needs to bedone,” Ferrucci said.

Sponsorship costs $350 for installation

of one to two hives, bi-weekly maintenancefrom 3B Honeybee staff and collectionof honey. No additional equipment is re-

quired, and Barker considers the programan inexpensive way for people to learnabout bees. He also believes Burnaby is anideal community for bees to thrive.

“There’s lots of stuff for the bees (inBurnaby),” he said. “It’s a well-establishedneighbourhood with lots of older, perennialplants,” he said.

It’s probably no surpriseto anyone who rents orowns a place for rent nearSimon Fraser Universitythat the tenant turnover isfairly high.

A new report by Cana-da Mortgage and Hous-ing Corporation (CMHC)looking at tenant turnoverrates appears to back up thenotion.

The turnover rate inNorth Burnaby was 22.8per cent, according to theCMHC report, nearly fourper cent higher than the19.2 per cent rate for theVancouver region.

Richard Sam, a marketanalyst with the CMHC,said the data is an indica-

tion that where there is alarger institution like a uni-versity, in this case SFU inNorth Burnaby, there’s ahigher turnover rate.

The University Endow-ment Lands, or UBC, had a48.3 per cent turnover rate.

The CMHC conductedthe pilot study in the fall of2015.

The organization expectsto conduct the survey an-nually.

Sam said the data fromthe survey can be used byboth owners and landlordsand renters.

In the case of landlords,he said the turnover ratesgive them a measure tomanage their costs, suggest-ing every time a unit turnsover, it can cost $1,500 to$2,000 to refresh the unit.

“If they’re seeing a high-er turnover, maybe there’ssomething the can do tokeep tenants in longer,”Sam told the NOW.

But the numbers couldbe some good news forrenters in an extremely tightmarket.

Sam said the fact nearly20 per cent of all units turnover is a sign that units docome available but may getsnapped up quickly.

“You just have to be onthe lookout for it,” he said.

The report surveyedthree areas in the city, in-cluding Burnaby North.

In Central Park/Me-trotown, the turnover ratewas 22.8 per cent, or 6,155units, while in Southeast

A Burnaby-based Cana-dian non-profit will use aUS $800,000 grant fromGoogle.org to help peoplewho can’t use their handsoperate touch-screen mo-bile devices.

The Neil Squire Societyis a national organizationthat uses technology to em-power people with physicaldisabilities.

Its latest product, theLipSync, allows users tocontrol a computer cursorwith a minimum of headand neck movement using amouth-operated device.

Like the Jouse (an earlierproduct developed by NeilSquire) the LipSync fea-tures a hollow mouthpiece,allowing users to performleft and right mouse-buttonclicks by alternatively puff-ing or sipping into the tube.

The mouthpiece is at-tached to a precision min-iature joystick sensor thatrequires only a very slightpressure on the shaft tomove a cursor up anddown.

All the electronics arehoused in the ‘head’ of thedevice so there are no extracontrol boxes, making theLipSync a good candidatefor portable, wheelchair-mounted applications.

The US $800,000Google grant (more than$1 million in Canadian dol-lars), through the GoogleImpact Challenge, will allowNeil Squire to take the cur-rent LipSync prototype andrelease it as an open source,affordable solution that will

enable the estimated onemillion people in Canadaand the U.S. who have dif-ficulty using their hands tooperate touch-screen mo-bile device.

“The support of Google.org will enable us to takeour LipSync from prototypein our R&D departmentinto the lives of people withdisabilities,” Neil Squire ex-ecutive director Dr. GaryBirch said in a press releaseTuesday. “Mobile technol-ogy has changed the lives of

everyone, but can be a newbarrier to people that areunable to use their hands.The LipSync solves thisproblem, and our model ofreleasing it open source willensure it is an affordable op-tion that can be customizedto the specific needs of peo-ple with disabilities world-wide.”

CanHorgandowhatDixcouldn’t?The NDP and energy

projects – it’s always a deli-cate balance.

Readers may recall duringthe last provincial electionAdrian Dix got himself in abit of a pickle by telling themedia that he didn’t wantVancouver to be a majoroil exporting port. He wasagainst the Enbridge pipe-line project, but he waffledon Kinder Morgan’s expan-sion here in Burnaby.

Christy Clark paintedit as flip-flopping and Dix

looked lost.The NDP always wants

to have it both ways: Keepits blue collar union sup-porters, who are generallyin favour of big energy proj-ects, and placate its envi-ronmental activist support-ers, who are against thoseprojects.

This is virtually impos-sible.

And yet, B.C. NDP lead-er John Horgan may well befollowing the same breadcrumbs into the very same

trap as Dix did.Horgan apologized to

union leaderTom Sigurdsonlast week for his decision toask the Canadian Environ-mental Assessment Agencyto withhold approval for theproposed Pacific NorthwestLNG plant near Prince Ru-pert, without giving Sigurd-son a heads-up before hedid it. But then later, Hor-gan, when speaking to re-porters, according to theGlobe and Mail, suggest-ed the federal government

could attach conditions tothe project to satisfy theNDP leader’s concerns.

Horgan explained histhinking later by saying youcouldn’t necessarily look atthings project by project.

The theory is that in aholistic approach a large in-vestment in public transitcould offset the climate im-pact of projects such as theLNG one.

Well, that would have tobe a heck of a big publictransit project.

You have to feel for theNDP leader. It’s like beingstuck between a rock anda hard place – in a climate-change oven.

Justifying support for anybig energy project – otherthan solar – smacks of di-nosaur policies. And theNDP desperately needs tolook like it’s a future-think-ing party.

The reality is, of course,that there probably is a rea-sonable middle ground,but it’s virtually impossible

to navigate such a positionwithout alienating core sup-porters.

Horgan told the uniondelegates, “I’m sick andtired of being the negativenelly.”

We’re not sure whathe meant by that com-ment. But we’re pretty sureClark’s team is already pro-ducing an ad that paintsHorgan as a very big neg-ative nelly – and not in agood way.

The snails weren’t starving

Timetoreformsickdaypolicy

Municipal governmentshave a problem, albeit onethey don’t want to talkabout. Over the past de-cade they have routinely in-creased operating spendingbeyond population and in-flation growth.To fuel theoverspending, councils haveovertaxed. Property taxes, inparticular, have put a heavyburden on small businessowners who already pay farmore in taxes than the ser-vices they consume.

With this context in mind,responsible municipal coun-cils should be looking at rea-sonable measures to controlspending. As many munici-pal agreements in the prov-ince are being renegotiat-ed right now, here’s one thatshould be looked at: reformmunicipal sick day policies.

In a new report,The Costof Banking Sick Days inthe Public Sector, QueenieWong, an economist withthe Canadian Federation ofIndependent Business, looksat government sick day poli-cies at the federal, provincialand municipal levels andfinds some costly practic-es that are wildly out of stepwith common sense.

For example, if one as-sumes that a “sick day”should be used for actualsickness, then why shouldsick days be bankable?Many private sector compa-nies don’t allow banking ofvacation days let alone sickdays. Only three per cent ofprivate sector plans allowemployees to bank sick days,compared to 28 per centof government plans. Evenmore puzzling than banking

is the policy of allowing forcash payouts of unused sickdays when someone leavesthe public service.

In some cases, govern-ments may be using sick daypolicies to work as insur-ance for employees againsta short-term disability. A farbetter approach would beto implement a short-termdisability plan. Employeesshould be able to take timeoff when they are sick, butcurrent government policiesare creating the incentive toconfuse sick days with a va-cation entitlement.

Of the 16 municipalitiesacross Canada the reportlooked at, six do not allowfor banking of sick days, in-cluding Calgary, EdmontonandToronto, which changedits policy in 2008. BothVan-couver andVictoria, the twoB.C. cities reviewed, still al-low banking.The B.C. gov-ernment, along with thegovernments of Alberta,Ontario and Nova Scotia,does not allow banking sickdays while other provincialgovernments and the federalgovernment do.

Vancouver,Victoria andother B.C. municipalitieswith these policies shouldfollowToronto’s lead andeliminate banked sick daypolicies and replace themwith short-term disabilityplans for all new employees.It’s a direction other govern-ments have been moving to-wards, albeit not fast enoughfor those that foot the bill.Laura Jones is executive

vice-president of the Canadi-an Federation of IndependentBusiness.

City must act onproperty assessmentsDear EditorWehavebeen told that Burnabyhada12per cent average assessment inproperties for 2016 and that the tax increasemight be 2.98per cent. The luckyhomeownerswhose values increased 12per cent of lesswillendupwith a tax increaseof 2.98per cent orless.However, according to your paper’s article,

an average increase for a typical single-familyhome inBurnaby increased from15 to 25percent and in somecasesmore than30per cent.Thismeans that this large group,without thebenefit of assessment average,will be theonesbeingpenalizedwith subsidizing theothers.Itwould appear that the citymight bebas-

This year it’s a different story inVancouver becauseof theout-of-control spiral-ling real estate values. It is questionable thatevenwith anew threshold of 29.89per cent,a significant increase in thosequalifying foraveraging canbeprevented.For 31 years, averagingwithout thresholds

I’d be interestedfor Jana topost additional photos ordiagramof the intersection.Ha! I’veseen the city crewsplayingwith thekids. And, did the complaint come fromthe largest vehicle thatwould traversethatwide alley, the garbage trucks?I suspect, it didn’t or thewould citywould say so.The complainant, I’d bet, is a shutinwho resents the community builtaround this hoop.PS. Street ball is toughonahill - thisis a flat location. And, given the recentattemptedabduction, shouldwe sendour kids all to the local parks?Besides,teens are already there carrying asteensdo. Let’s find a solution.

Who is city councilworking for? Readerresponds to letter

Kisai I don’t think the city can say “NO”to approving anything legal.Me-trotown (Where a lot of thesedemovic-tions are happening) plan is actuallyfor highdensity, but the actual designin that document is to connect high-rise residentialwith high-rise commer-cial (EgMetropolis) anddidn’t considermixed-usewhich is the current trend.So the actual buildings beingdemol-ishedand replacedare notwhat theMetrotownplan called for in the firstplace.Metrotower III yes, the luxurycondo towers alongBeresford, no. Thecity claims they cannot force thede-velopers tobuild purpose-built rentalproperties, but there is nothing stop-ping the city frombuying these low-rises to keep themout of thehandsofdevelopersORbuildingpurpose-builtaffordable rental housing themselves.…Why canwenot have affordablerental housing that iswithin 500me-ters of the Skytrain station, andhavethe Luxury condosbuilt along the edgeof that 500meter line use the tallercheaper buildings as a soundbuffer?

the vote resolved the issue.Stewart said he took a dif-

ferent approach to the Mul-cair leadership vote, notinghe met with party membersin the riding earlier this yearto come up with a consen-sus ahead of the convention.

He said it wasn’t reachedat the time, but by the week-end, all of the delegates inthe riding were in favour ofa change in leader. Stew-art said he followed their di-rection.

The Burnaby MP alsosaid he’s not interested inrunning for the job, noting

that he’s not fully bilingual.Stewart said the next

leader needs to have a visionfor the party and stronglyrepresent B.C.’s interests.

“The new leader has topaint a different vision forus as to what our partystands for and keeping withour traditional principles,”he said. “I want a leaderthat’s not going to buckle toCentral Canada and that’sgoing to stand up for Brit-ish Columbia in the Houseof Commons and say thatyou can’t force pipelinesthrough our province with-out our consent.”

NewleadermuststandupforB.C.,saysBurnabyMPContinued frompage1

the issue.Mayor Derek Corrigan

told the NOW the city re-ceived a complaint aboutthe hoop and staff deter-mined that is was a poten-tial safety hazard for tallervehicles and trucks.

He also said since thehoop is on a through-lane, itwas deemed to be an unsafeplace to play.

“Generally we’re pret-ty permissive about oppor-tunities for outdoor playand not overly exuberantabout things that are on cityland,” he said. “In this case,it’s one they [city staff] de-termined that was a poten-tial problem and could cre-ate liabilities for the city.Weweren’t out looking for it,but once someone drawsit to our attention then wehave to do an assessmentand determine whether ornot our staff think it’s ap-propriate, and in this case,they said ‘no.’”

Corrigan noted the courthad been put in sometimebetween July 2014 and June2015, and city staff havetried to find the owner tomove it, but they haven’tcome forward.

He also noted he sent aletter toThorn explainingthe city’s side.

But again, the Burna-by resident isn’t buying thecity’s explanation.

Thorn said the mayorhasn’t come out to see thehoop, noting garbage trucksuse the laneway and don’thave a problem.

“I think his argumentagainst it is absurd,” shesaid. “To think that it’s inthe way of a vehicle is cra-zy.”

The mayor’s letter alsopointed out that Confeder-ation Park was close by andoffered a number of ame-nities.

Thorn said Confeder-ation Park as an option

doesn’t provide what theneighbours were seekingto maintain in keeping thehoop.

She also argued the let-ter doesn’t offer any optionsregarding the hoop specifi-cally, adding the neighboursjust want to have a discus-sion to keep it.

As ofThursday, the hoopwas still standing, but itsdays are likely numbered.

In a city where anythingto do with oil pipelinescan attract attention prettyquick, a recent news storysuggesting the prime min-ister is getting ready to ap-prove pipeline projects, in-cluding Kinder Morgan’sTrans Mountain Pipeline,was expected to stand out.

However, the BurnabyMP who would have themost to answer for if it’strue is downplaying the sto-ry.

Burnaby North-SeymourLiberal MPTerry Beechsaid as far as he’s con-cerned, there is no changein what his government hassaid all along, adding theLiberals are redoing the Na-tional Energy Board processto make sure it’s fair, objec-tive and based on science.

“To me, we’ve set out avery specific process, wewant to make sure Canadi-ans have confidence in thatprocess and we are follow-ing that process,” he toldthe NOW onWednesday,adding he doesn’t want tospeculate where the storycame from.

“I think (being) succinctis better in this case, mak-ing a story off of a storybased off of speculation, Idon’t want to fan the flames

any further than they needto be.”

On Monday,NationalPost political columnist JohnIvison wrote a story thatsaid Prime Minister Jus-tinTrudeau “has been con-vinced by his finance minis-ter, Bill Morneau, and otherinfluential voices aroundthe cabinet table that thepipelines have to be built toachieve the ambitious eco-nomic growth targets hisgovernment has set.”

The NEB is set to deliverits final recommendation tocabinet on the pipeline pro-posal by May 20. Cabinethas the final say on whetherthe pipeline will be built.

Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan said he was sur-prised to read the detailsof the story but questionedwhether it was true.

He said he’s giving theprime minister the bene-fit of the doubt, adding he’snot prepared to prejudge

him on the basis on a news-paper article.

“I just can’t believe thatsomeone would be so fool-ish as to come out withstatements like that af-ter having promised therewould be review thatwould take into consider-ation much more than theNEB has taken into con-sideration,” Corrigan said.“Trudeau, if he does dothat, he does so at his ownjeopardy.”

The mayor did suggest itwas possible Liberal insid-ers are floating the idea tosee what the response willbe publicly but added basedon what he’s heard locally, alot of people will be disap-pointed.

Burnaby South NDP MPKennedy Stewart called thestory “distressing” and ar-gued the move would goagainst an election prom-ise by the Liberals to haveKinder Morgan reapply un-der a new set of rules.

“If he says yes to Kind-er Morgan, all hell is goingto break loose in B.C.,” hesaid. “I’ll be fighting this allthe way.”

Stewart also said he’ll bestepping up his attempts toconvince the prime ministerto reject the pipeline project.

IsTrudeaureallyreadytoapprovethepipeline?

Burnaby the rate 15.5 percent or 2,359 units.

For comparison, in Rich-mond, theTri-Cities andDowntownVancouver, the

turnover rate was 24.9 percent, 16.8 per cent and 22.9per cent respectively.

The turnover rate inBurnaby Southeast was oneof the lowest in the region,

with SoutheastVancouvertopping the list at just 8.2per cent turnover.

Sam said the survey mayalso suggest the lower turn-over rates may be associ-

ated with neighbourhoodsin higher demand and lowrents.The survey listed theaverage monthly rent inBurnaby Southeast at $905,with the five-year average

vacancy rate at 2.2 per cent.The average rent for

Burnaby North and CentralPark/Metrotown is $1,025and $1,045, respectively.

Sam also noted the turn-

over rate among townhous-es at 11.4 per cent is muchlower than the average rate.

Many families spend winter Tguring outhow to chase away cabin fever and endurefrigid temperatures un"l spring and summermercifully return. Parents thinking ahead toswimming pools and days lounging on thebeach can put their daydreams to prac"caluse by planning ahead for their youngsters’summer vaca"ons.

Youth recrea"onal programs and summercamps can bridge the gap in care betweenthe end of school and the day when class-es resume. Due in part to high demand, par-ents whowant to place their kids in summerrec programs or summer camps should beginve!ng such programs and camps well in ad-vance of summer. The following are a hand-ful of "ps for moms and dads whowant theirkids to have fun and fulTlling summers.

* Ask for recommenda"ons. Speak withfellow parents and trusted friends aboutwhere they send their children. Personal rec-ommenda"ons can be very helpful, providing

Trsthand insight into a par"cu-lar camp or program. Sched-ule appointments to visitcamps that fall with-in your budget. Takeyour son or daugh-ter along so he orshe can get a senseof what campwillbe like.

* Explore all op-"ons. Camps comeinmore Wavours thanever before. Certain campsmay be faith-basedministrieswhile others may focus on par"c-ular sports. Band camps and art campsmayappeal to crea"ve kids. Also, there are plen-ty of general-interest camps that o#er vari-ous ac"vi"es without narrowing in on anypar"cular one. Parents may need to choosebetween a sleepaway camp or day camps,depending on which camp experience they

want for their children.

* Inquire about campschedules. While manycamps are Wexible,day camps do nothave the same lev-el of Wexibility as af-ter-school programs.Arrangements willneed to bemade ifcare is required af-ter regular camp hours.

Speak with camp sta#to see which types of af-

ter-hours programs, if any, areavailable.

* Determine your camp budget. As variedas program o#erings may be, camps also canvary greatly with regard to cost. Government-run campsmay be less expensive than thoseo#ered by private companies. Day campstypically cost less than those that provide

room and board. Find out if a par"cular orga-niza"on subsidizes a por"on of camp costs.Scou"ng programs o$en have a dedicatedcamp andmay o#er a#ordable op"ons forscouts. Mar"al arts schools and dance cen-ters frequently o#er camp schedules.

If camp seems out of reach, look into lo-cal summer recrea"on programs at parks orschools. Such programsmay not be as exten-sive as those o#ered by camps, but they canquell kids’ boredom and keep children occu-pied during the day.

In addi"on to camp, remember to planfor some free days so children can just enjoysome down"me. Such days can break up themonotony of a rou"ne and provide kids andfamilies "me to relax together.Summer recrea"onmay be far o#, but it

is never too early to start making summerplans, including Tnding camps and other ac-"vi"es for kids.

Start planning kids’ summer recrea!on nowSummer school recess will be here soon.Make sure you’re prepared for camp and other recrea!onal programs

SIGNUPNOW:SUMMERCAMPS

How to choose the right summer campMake sure you’re asking the right ques!ons to ensure that your kids have a great !me at a summer camp

With spring in full swing,now is the best time toexplore summer campoptions for your kids.From daycamps to over-night stays, there is a lotto choose from. Manycamps have strict enrol-ment timelines, so there’sno time like the present tofind something that’ll in-terest your kids this sum-mer.

Attending summer camphas been a tradition inCanada for many years.There are many benefitsto summer camp. Campenables children to stayengaged during the sum-mer when there may belimited interaction withschool friends. It also givesparents both a safe and vi-able daycare solution dur-ing the summer.

Summer camp pulls to-gether children from dif-ferent neighborhoods,social classes and back-grounds, which can makeit a good place to meetnew people – some ofwhom may become life-long friends. Camps alsoprovide a variety of ac-tivities that can challengechildren to try new thingsthat go beyond their com-fort zones.

Some children are veryreceptive to the idea of at-tending summer camp.Others need a little coax-ing. But summer campshould never be forced ona child who does not wantto go. In such instanc-es, consider local daytimeprograms that may fill thevoid instead of programsthat require being awayfrom home. Once the de-cision for summer campis made, there are somequestions to answer.

* What are your financ-es like? Do you have abudget for summer camp?* What size camp do

you desire?* Should the camp be

co-ed or single sex?* How far do you want

your child to travel for

summer camp? What arethe options in yourarea?* Are there any

camps that havebeen recom-mended byfriends orfamily mem-bers?* What

kinds of activ-ities do yourchildren enjoy?These types

of questions willhelp you narrowdown your options.Then you can visit andinterview camps to findone that is the best fit.When visiting camps, goarmed with a checklist of

ques-tions. Some of these caninclude:* What is the philosophy

of the camp?* Can you explain atypical day?

* What arethe types ofactivities andfacilities of-fered?* What is

the camp-er-to-coun-selor ratio?* What is

the camp’sdrug/alcohol

policy?* Does the

camp have insur-ance and security per-

sonnel?* What percentage of

staff return each year?How are staff selected and

trained?* What kind of health

care is provided?* Can you tell me about

the policy on phone callsand family visits?* What do you do in the

event of emergencies?

There are many differ-ent camps available. Someoffer a “little bit of every-

thing.” Others cater to ac-ademics, sports, specifichobbies or even religiouspreferences. Don’t waittoo long to research andsign up for camps becausemany fill up quite early orhave an extensive waitinglist. That is why choosinga camp should be part of ato-do list.

A Burnaby resident hasbeen named the best com-petitive pinball player in theworld, following a five-daytournament in Pittsburgh.

Twenty-seven-year-oldRobert Gagno travelledto Pennsylvania to com-pete against approximately200 elite pinball players atthe Professional & AmateurPinball AssociationWorldChampionships to earn hisspot at the top.The com-petition requires players tostand for 12 to 14 hours aday and earn top scores onfive different pinball ma-chines.

Gagno has been playingcompetitively for six years,but despite being the reign-ing Canadian pinball cham-pion, this is his first time asworld champ.

“I’ve never seen him playso focused and so well,”said Kathy Gagno, Rob-ert’s mother. “He’s real-ly well-liked (in the pinball

community) so people werehappy to see him winning.”

Kathy believes her sonhas had to overcome manyobstacles to achieve this ac-complishment, but since be-ing diagnosed with autismas a child, Gagno has sur-passed expectation, accord-ing to Kathy.

“Doctors said, ‘he’ll nev-er talk, he’ll never be ableto read or write,’” Kathysaid. “Pinball has made himmore social, but it doesn’t

involve a lot of language.His area of strength is visu-al, and (pinball) is a very vi-sual game.”

Gagno’s journey as acompetitive pinball play-er living with autism is doc-umented in the upcomingfilm,Wizard Mode, premier-ing atToronto’s Hot DocsCanadian international doc-umentary film festival onMay 2.The film makes itsVancouver debut May 11 atDOXA festival.

Liard RiverHot SpringsProvincial Park

Spring is a great time for aBC adventure, especiallywith a faltering loonie makingtravel south of the border socostly. But you’ll have sometough choices. There’sstill plenty of skiing andsnowboarding, but it’s alsotime to hit the hiking trails,launch the boat and breakout the camping gear.

BC boasts more than1,000 provincial parks andprotected areas – frompublic beaches, rare eco-systems and endangeredwildlife habitats to uniquegeography and pricelessFirst Nations heritage.

Whether you’re planninga day out with the kids,a photo safari or epicexpedition, here’s a short listof parks worth visiting.

BRING THE FAMILYVancouver Island offers awonderland of lush forests,ocean shores, seasidetowns and adventure-readyparks. A great choice forfamilies is Englishman RiverFalls Provincial Park nearParksville, where a stroll

through silent forests endsat two thundering waterfalls.

Nearby provincial parksinclude Rathtrevor BeachProvincial Park, renownedfor its long sandcastle-friendly beach, andMacMillan Provincial Park,where Cathedral Grove’smassive old-growthDouglas firs loom abovethe forest floor.

For star gazing and wienieroasts, hop a ferry to SaltSpring Island’s RuckleProvincial Park. The seasidesites are walk-in, but that’spart of the fun: wheelbarrowyour gear a few minutesfrom the parking lot and youhave spectacular oceanviews, easy hiking trails andkilometres of beachcombingwithout a car in sight. RucklePark is set on a century-oldhomestead and is still partworking farm.

WATCH FORWILDLIFEImagine watching mountaingoats and big horn sheepscampering along narrowalpine ledges, or spotting

elk feeding by a forest pool,or seeing huge flocks ofmigratory birds returning tovibrant wetlands.

Thompson Okanaganis best known for itsvineyard-studded hills andabundant orchards, but itslakeside bluffs, pine forests,grasslands and desertlandscapes are favouredhabitats for everything fromdeer and black bears tomuskrats, beavers andbirdlife.

Vaseux Lake Provincial Park,set on a lakeshore betweenPenticton and Oliver, isrenowned for its wildlife.Besides agile mountaingoats and big horn sheep,Vaseux protects a varietyof endangered species,including badgers, bats andnight snakes. Trails lead toneighbouring Vaseux LakeMigratory Bird Sanctuary.

Or head east to the parksof BC’s Kootenay Rockiesregion. Set among thelakes and snow peaks,Kikomun Creek ProvincialPark is home to a wealthof wildlife, including herons,

elk and one of BC’s largestpopulations of endangeredwestern painted turtles.

DIP THE PADDLEDesolation Sound is amagical destination forboaters, kayakers andscuba divers. Two ferryrides north of Vancouver,this island-dotted soundis lapped with clear, warmwaters, peppered withsnug coves and backed bytowering snow peaks.

Desolation Sound is hometo five parks, all withsheltered shorelines, andone of the best ways to seethem is by kayak.

For a very different paddlingexperience, head east tothe Cariboo Chilcotin. Thisvast landscape of ancient

forests, lakes and mountainranges is the setting for thelegendary Bowron LakeCanoe Circuit, a multi-dayexpedition that follows aseries of lakes, streams,rivers and portages inBowron Lake ProvincialPark. The area abounds withmoose, bear, beavers, ottersand birdlife.

SEEK OUTNORTHERNTREASURESPrefer to relax in a spa-likepool, surrounded by orchidsand wandering moose?Liard River Hot SpringsProvincial Park is threehours north of Fort Nelson.Set deep in BC’s northernboreal spruce forest, the hotsprings, one of Canada’slargest, creates a micro-

climate warm enough tosupport such tropical floraas yellow monkey flowers,ostrich ferns and orchids. Aboardwalk passes throughthe forest and a warm waterswamp, leading to an open-air pool where temperaturesstay a toasty 42-52°C yearround.

Environment:However, step inside the Tacoma,and previous owners will beimpressed by the changes made.After something like sevenyears without a major update,the Tacoma’s cabin was ruggedbut deeply aged, and aboutas sophisticated-looking as theplumbing department at Home Depot.

Now it’s not dissimilar to the Camry’scountry-music-lovin’ cousin. This beinga Limited version, leather clad seats and asunroof were the icing on the Tacoma cake, but the restof the options were much better suited to modern life.The Entune touchscreen infotainment system is large,bright, quick, and comes with easy-to-use knobs. Theseats are comfortable. There’s plenty of storage for cupsand smartphones. Everything’s sensible, but a little onthe tight side for a taller driver.

And never mind the sport truck pro-athlete image, ifyou’ve got kids to haul along with you, the crew-cabTacoma makes for a surprisingly solid family car. Twochild seats bolted right in without much wrestling,and the low transmission tunnel made for extra spaceto carry stuff. Kids don’t take up much room – it’stheir stuff that’s the problem. Throw a canopy on thisthing for bikes and boards and who-knows-what, andyou just might have the alternative to the minivanevery crossover pretends to be.

Performance:New under the Tacoma’s hood is a 3.5L V6 thatreplaces the old 4.0L six. I’m not saying the latter wasgetting a bit dated, but you can find references to iton the walls of Tutankhamen’s tomb. It’s just short ofpredating agriculture.

The new 3.5L engine adds not much in the wayof torque at 265lb-ft, and requires a bit of stick toget power out of it. Rev it up and it’ll make a solid278hp at 6000rpm, but the six-speed automatic

transmission requiresa good solid prod tounlock the power.

As this is a properbody-on-frame truck,you might expect theTacoma to exhibitsome rough aroundthe edges roadmanners. True, thereis a tendency to judderover offset bumps,but there’s surprisingon-road competencyhere in spades. Thesteering ratio proveddecidedly untrucklikeon a winding countryback road, and the long

Everything that made the Tacomapopular in the first place is here again

ToyotaTacoma

wheelbase contributed to a nicelycontrolled highway drive.

If you’re a member of the Toyotafaithful, it’s about this time thatwe’ve got to ask why there’s nodiesel option for this truck. Theusual excuse is that a complex

diesel engine, with its turbochargerand heavyweight construction,

would add extra cost to the truck, acost the market would not bear.

Oh horse, um, feathers. The Tacoma isalready an expensive option – this Limited version

stickers at $46K after freight – and a well-heeledcustomer would undoubtedly stump up for theadded hauling torque and better fuel economy. Whilethe V-6 is a solid performer that returns good fueleconomy, a little more low-end grunt would make fora more relaxing drive.

But having said that, the Tacoma we do get adheres tothe proven recipe with solid road manners and goodperformance. A little light off-roading didn’t faze itone bit, and even parking it around town becamesecond nature after a day or so. You can get morepower, more hauling, and more space, but everythingthat made the Tacoma popular in the first place ishere again.

Features:Basic Tacomas come with a 2.7L four-cylinder engineand not much in the way of options. Call it deliverytruck spec, just like the yellow machine from the firstToy Story movie.

However, move up to the Limited and TRD trims andyou start getting a host of niceties. As-equipped, mytester had everything from navigation to satelliteradio and a backup camera. Opt for the TRD trim ifyou’re intending to use your Tacoma for heavy duty,but if you’re a city-slicker who occasionally makesforays into the wilderness, the Limited is by no meansbare-bones.

Official fuel economy figures improved significantlywith the introduction of the 3.5L, rating at12.0L/100kms on the highway and 10.0L/100kmscity. Real world figures hit the mixed-mileagerating of 11L/100kms, very livable in these days ofinexpensive fuel.

Green Light:Useful V6 power; decent cabin space; outstandingresale value; pleasing on-road manners and goodrough terrain capability

Stop Sign:No diesel option, even for those willing to pay more;cabin is cramped for taller drivers; very conservativestyling changes

The Checkered Flag:Everyone’s favourite sport-truck continues to thriveusing a simple, tried-and-tested recipe.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

Consider Coca-Cola. With a recipecomposed of twenty-one secret ingredients,it is a known quantity that tastes the sameno matter where you order it. Leave asidethe urban myths about its ability to dissolvebone or whatnot, and Coca-Cola’s success isabsolute; order a Coke and you know whatyou’re getting. It’s an unqualified successas-is; remember the disaster of New Coke?Sometimes change isn’t good.

Now consider a car company, forced byregulatory pressure and customer expectation torefresh and update their models every couple ofyears. If you’ve already cranked out the winningformula, then what do you do if you have to messwith success?

With the Tacoma, Toyota must surely have foundthemselves facing just such a question. Resale valuesare excellent. The fan base loves it. Sales are strong.But change is required, so something must be done.

Here’s the 2016 Tacoma, an update a long timecoming. Is it New Coke all over again, or still thesame Tacoma Classic that quenches many a mid-sized truck thirst?

Design:On first blush: sorry, you said this was the newToyota Tacoma? Despite a bluff new grille andupdated tailgate, you’d be forgiven for thinkingToyota just wrote “New and Improved” on onecorner of their mid-sizer’s packaging and called it aday. A revolution, the Tacoma is not.

But why would it be? Not only does Toyota as acompany dislike radical change, neither wouldtheir customers enjoy a total deviation from thescript. The Tacoma remains simple, recognizable insilhouette, and slightly more butch looking than itsancestors. As is pickup truck de rigueur these days,you get a giant ‘Tacoma’ script on the tailgate, butreally it’s not much more than a surface reworking.

It’s a scenario hospital-ist Dr. Pol Morton has seenplayed out all too often inthe Burnaby Hospital ER.

A patient – confused orunconscious and deterio-rating rapidly – unable tomake decisions about medi-cal care.

“If they haven’t spoken totheir family,” Morton says,“then we, in the emergen-cy department, are turningto a daughter or a son – andit’s nearly always a daughter– to ask, ‘What would yourmother want in this situa-tion?’ And they often don’tknow at all. It’s an agonizingdecision. At a time when thefamily are already in angstbecause of this person’s ill-ness, we’re actually addingto that by asking for somesort of directive as to wherewe go.”

The best people to makedecisions about care are pa-tients themselves, accordingto Morton.

So, as National AdvanceCare Planning Day ap-proaches on April 16, he isurging people, while theyare still well enough, to talkto their families about whatthey want and don’t wantdoctors to do for them ifthey ever get too sick tospeak for themselves.

“This is a conversationthat you really should havewith your family, for yoursake and for your family’ssake,” he says.

In the absence of any in-put from patient or family,Morton says doctors have toguess what a patient mighthave wanted.

“We’re worried that we’renot doing what is right forthe patient,” he says. “It’snot always right to resus-citate the patient and keepthem alive just because wecan. But also we don’t wantto fall short of what the pa-tient wants.”

Given the shortage offamily doctors and theirheavy workload, Mortonsays it’s unrealistic to expect

family physicians to initiateadvance care conversations.

“The best place is actual-ly at home with family, filledin with information fromtheir doctor,” he says.

To help patients withplans and to spark conver-sations with families, Burn-aby Hospital has startedsending patients home withcompleted Medical Or-ders for Scope ofTreatment(MOST) forms in green en-velopes with magnets at-tached so they can be stuckto the fridge at home.

Emergency services per-sonnel now look for theforms for direction in emer-gencies.

“Another thing about thegreen envelope is that fam-ilies see it,” Morton says.“They’ll say, ‘What’s this?’and it fosters conversationabout this issue.”

A Burnaby-based writ-er and dog-lover has gottenher work published in a newinstallment of the acclaimedAmerican book series Chick-en Soup for the Soul.

Despite having neverowned a cat herself, Kelly L.McKenzie’s story Bootsie’sPick-Me-Up – detailing herexperience picking up herboss’s crazy cat from the vet– was submittedfor Chicken Soup’sMyVery Good,VeryBad Cat edition onthe advice of oneof McKenzie’s fol-lowers, familiarwith her writingstyle through herblog, JustTypikel.

“There’s allthese dog peo-ple that I see at thedog parks, and theythink it’s hilarious that I’min a cat book.”

Now that she’s been pub-lished in an anthology, theblogger is taking her come-dic commentary on life andsetting her sights on com-pleting a memoir, basedon her experiences work-ing alongside her mother intheir family-owned Asianantiques store.

“My book is going to beabout my relationship withher – she’s type A and I’mnot. People would comeinto the store and proba-bly think I was going to getfired any minute, and we’dgo, ‘Oh no, we’re a mother-daughter team,’” McKen-zie said.

Widowed when her two

children were both un-der the age of four, the sin-gle mother only recentlyhas had time to devote her-self to writing.With her kidsnow in university, the self-described “quirk-magnet”is hoping to touch readerswith her stories.

Although her family isCaucasian, their Asian an-tiques store, Frankie Rob-inson Oriental Gallery,drew many diverse custom-ers of various cultural back-

grounds.“It wasn’t just a

store – you’d sellthem a Japanesechest and you gotto know so muchmore about them,”she said.

McKenzie saysone memory thatwill be includedin the book tellsof her experiencewith a client who

came in looking for an urnfor ashes – her own ashes.McKenzie and her motherhad known the woman for12 years.

“It was the most heart-wrenching thing – I wason my own and I sobbedmy way through the store,”she said. “This was the lastthing she had to do, shehad given away her jewelryand she only had about twomonths left, and she wanteda beautiful antique urn toput her ashes in.”

At the funeral, the womanmade sure there was a singleorchid left behind for McK-enzie and her mother.

McKenzie hopes herheartfelt and quirky sto-ries will resonate with lo-

cal readers, whether they’repicking up a copy of ChickenSoup, perusing her blog, or,hopefully, reading her mem-oir someday.

“(Writing is) all about therelationships. It’s all aboutbecoming a part of a largerfamily.”

A Burnaby physiothera-pist is alerting the public toa growing scourge amongcellphone users – textingthumb.

Physiotherapist Shai-la Jiwa, owner of AbsolutePhysioCare & Sports Re-hab, says more and morepeople are coming into herBurnaby clinic complainingof serious, sometimes debili-tating pain in their thumbs.

“A lot of people don’tknow why they’re hav-ing this pain,” she told theNOW. “We don’t see themin the early stages; we seethem in the later stages be-cause then it becomes afunctional limitation forthem.They can’t hold theircup of coffee, it’s hurtingso much.They can’t brushtheir teeth; they have to usetheir other hand.”

Jiwa blames new, largercell phones for the spike inthumb problems.

Because of the phones’size, she said, many of herclients have started usingthem for tasks they wouldpreviously have done onlaptops or computers.

The larger devices alsoput more strain on thumbs,she said.

“I think it’s the size, theweight and the stress thatit’s putting on the thumbto go to the opposite end ofthe screen,” she said. “It’sjust putting more stress onthe joint.”

Texting thumb and“gamer’s thumb” are streetnames for de Quervain syn-drome, basically a tendon-itis of the extensor tendonsused to lift the thumb, ac-cording to certified profes-sional ergonomist Anne-Kristina Arnold.

Symptoms include painor tingling; weak grip orpinch strength; and minorswelling at the base of thethumb.

“It’s been around for along time, 50 years or so,”Arnold told the NOW.“Originally a lot of it was

from hand tools whereyou’re reaching or hyperex-tending your thumb to op-erate a button. In more re-cent years, it was the littlemini joysticks, thumb joy-sticks, which were a prob-lem.”

Arnold, a senior lectur-er in SFU’s biomedicalphysiology kinesiology de-partment who also teach-es in the industrial designprogram at the Emily CarrUniversity of Art and De-sign, is reluctant to blamethe rise in thumb problemsexclusively on the size of thenew phones.

“It depends how they ac-tually hold it,” she said.“But what you can say is ifthe phone causes you to ex-tend your thumb more andyour reach more, then theymay be related. Small handson large phones is going tobe more of a problem.”

Texting thumb, accordingto Arnold, is just one symp-tom of cell phone manufac-turers – and companies gen-erally – not paying attentionto the way the body workswhen designing new prod-ucts.

“If you look at the basicform of a cell phone, it’s stilla rectangle, and our bod-ies don’t move at right an-gles,” she said. “They movein spherical or what wecall more organic kind ofshapes. If you move yourthumb, if you swivel yourthumb, it makes a semi-cir-cle; it doesn’t make a line.”

Once texting thumb or deQuervain’s syndrome takeshold, according to Arnold,it’s tough to treat.

“It can be extremely pain-ful, and like any tendon-itis it’s really hard to get ridof,” she said. “It’s inflamma-tion on the tendon, and ba-sically you need to rest, butso much of our life involvesmoving our – in this case –thumbs around, that it is re-ally hard to get rid of.”

To treat texting thumb,Arnold recommends rest,ice, compression and non-steroidal anti-inflammato-ries.

Jiwa recommends a sim-ple exercise: 1. Put yourhand out as if you are go-ing to shake hands. 2. Bendyour wrist away from yourthumb. 3. Use your otherhand to passively flex yourthumb down towards theground.

If the pain persists, sherecommends consultingwith a licensed physiother-apist, chiropractor or mas-sage therapist.

When we think abouthealth, many consider itfrom the negative.

The focus is on symp-toms, injuries, illness or dis-ease.

Many approach theirhealth care the same way.

They see a doctor orother health-care provid-er mainly for the treatmentof these conditions. Healthis defined in the negative:the absence of disease, andhealth care becomes pas-sive: the treatment given bya health-care professional.

I think of health as theoptimal balance of the im-portant areas of your life(physical, emotional, intel-lectual, spiritual, family, so-cial, work, rest and play) –guided by what you valueand where you find mean-ing – and the achievementof your positive potentialin life.

I believe we each have aunique potential. It is ourduty to realize our potentialand to help others achievetheirs.

Though we all need theassistance of doctors, nursesand other health-care pro-viders at different pointsin our lives, most of yourhealth care is provided byjust one person.That per-son, of course, is you.

In this way, real healthcare is self-care.The bestpredictors of your futurehealth are the habits youpractise today.

The four foundations ofself-care are (1) what youeat (what you put into yourbody), (2) what you do(physical activity), (3) howyou feel (emotional well-be-ing) and (4) how you relate(healthy relationships).

Over the past two years,I’ve led the Burnaby Divi-sion of Family Practice’sEmpowering Patients healtheducation campaign. Ourgoal is to improve the healthof our community by pro-viding unbiased health in-formation on a variety oftopics including the fourfoundations, chronic condi-tions such as heart disease,high blood pressure and di-abetes, preventive and pro-active care, medical ethics,improving your hospital ex-perience and communicat-ing with health-care pro-viders.

So far we’ve delivered 14free public lectures in Burn-aby’s schools, libraries andcommunity centres and cre-ated health education post-ers, handouts and videos.To see our growing libraryof health information, checkthe Burnaby Division’swebsite at divisionsbc.ca/burnaby.

The family doctor’s cir-cle of care has expandedfrom the care of the individ-ual patients of a practice tothe care of our community.We care about our patients,and we care about our com-munity.

On Monday, April 25 at7 p.m., I’ll be speaking attheTommy Douglas library(7311 Kingsway, Burna-by) on “Health Care is Self-Care: AchieveYour Potentialfor Health.”You can regis-ter for this free talk online atwww.bpl.bc.ca/events or byphone 604-522-3971.

If you’re thinking of im-proving your future healthby becoming more activetoday, jump on board withthe rest of us next monthas we celebrate Move forHealth Day and the Doc-tors of B.C.’sWalkWithYour Doc events.

Threading theneedle:BurnabyMetroSelects striker JoeyCannova leapsbetween twoPortMoody rivals for theball during lastweek’sCoastal ACupunder-13quarterfinal atBurnabyLakeWest. Burnabyprevailed2-0, advancing to the semifinals this Saturday, 10a.m. atBurnabyLakeagainst Langley. PHOTOJENNIFERGAUTHIER

Burnaby’sboys [email protected]

The smell of hot dogs and sounds ofbats squaring up on the ball signal a newseason.

While members of the Burnaby Piratesand Burnaby Blue Jays may not be grillingfor lunch, they launch the baseball seasonthis weekend looking to tag up and beatthe throw in Over-30 baseball.

The Blue Jays, finalists in their firstfour years including a pair of league titles,would love nothing more than to keep thestring alive.

Long-time Burnaby resident RodVanDorn Sr. isn’t counting his runs withoutthe at bats, though.

“We have been a team to beat in thepast but this is a new season. Every seasonbrings new challenges,” saysVan Dorn.“We won before with pitching and hitting.When you have that, it’s a pretty deadlycombination.”

Losing a key player due to an unfor-tunate injury and a few others unable tomake the weekly commitment, the BlueJays are tempering their expectations. Get-ting back to the final – where they fell 6-0to the Howe Sound Hounds – may take alittle diamond magic.

“We should be alright because ourpitching is intact (from last year),” he said.

That top-three rotation includes steadyrighthanders Jeff Ammer and JeffWeisger-ber and lefthanded RodVan Dorn Jr.

One of the clutch bats expected to con-tinue driving in the runs is Marc Noble.

Taking the field with his two sons, in-cluding outfielder Shaun, is pretty neat,the father says. “It’s as good as it gets.”

Sharing the Robert Burnaby Park dia-mond are the Burnaby Pirates, who’ve ac-tually been in the league a lot longer.

Led by manager Kevin Gordon, the Pi-rates would like nothing more than tochallenge the Jays for local bragging rights.

“We want to be in the thick of it,” saidGordon, who also gets the chance to playwith his son, Adam, when he’s not han-dling the coaching duties. “Last year westruggled quite abit and transitioned someplayers from Over-30 to Over-45… Forus, a top-four spot is a good goal so you gointo the playoffs with some confidence.”

Having grown up in Alberta, Gordonsaid the game’s charm keeps him comingback even as he hits the mid-50s mark. Heoccasionally puts himself in when numbersdictate, but labels his role then as “I pitchand catch or get the hell out of the way.”

“You watch the old film Field of Dreamsand that’s what I use to do with my dad,”he recalls. “You’d go out and just throw theball around. It’s a lot of fun and a thrill justto do it with my son.”

The Blue Jays launch the new season onSunday, 9 a.m. at Robert Burnaby Parkagainst the Surrey Sentinels, while the Pi-rates visit the NewWestminster Mariners.

Burnaby Selects slips past PegasusThree Burnaby metro teams continue chase for Coastal A Cup final [email protected]

Familiarity can breed con-tempt, but in the case of theBurnaby Metro girls under-18Selects, it brought knowledge.

Against a team they’d facedtwo times before, the Selectsrolled out to an early lead andheld on to top Surrey Pegasus3-1 to advance to the Coastal ACup semifinals.

Last year’s Coastal and Pro-vincial Cup champs, Burnabytook the lead when Sara Cirillofinished off a set-up from NicoleBell 20 minutes into the game.

Bell would collect whatproved to be the winner, drillinga shot from the 18-yard line thatslid in off the far post 10 min-utes later.

“This group is an interest-ing story,” noted manager MikeBell. “When they came togetherfive years ago it seemed they lostnearly every game, but by theend of that season they startedto come together....Two years

ago they finished third (at theprovincials) and last year wonthe league, Coastal Cup and theprovincials.”

Although Surrey cut the defi-cit by a goal 15 minutes into thesecond half and pushed forward,the Selects held their ground,with Danijela Gordic countingthe insurance tally. Bell proveda force at striker, generating nu-merous offensive chances, whilenetminder Alicia Muster madea couple of key saves late in thefirst half.

Burnaby, which is coached byNed Forcan, now heads to Sur-rey to play Guildford, with thewinner advancing to the final.

SELECTSBLANKPORTMOODY

In a tightly contested CoastalA Cup quarterfinal, the Burna-by Metro Select FC boys pulledout all the stops en route to a2-0 victory over the Port MoodyDynamo last week.

Burnaby, who won both pre-vious encounters by one goalagainst Port Moody, needed

a stellar performance from itsbackline to hold the Dynamo incheck.

Joey Cannova’s header off acorner kick, well-placed by KyleBeach, proved to be the game-winner.The squad got anoth-er goal off a long shot from 35yards out that was just too hotfor the Port Moody goalkeeperto hold onto.

Burnaby now turns its focusto Langley – another squad theydominated during the regularseason – in Saturday’s semifinalat Burnaby LakeWest (10 a.m.).

“We played them hard threetimes – they are big and strong– (but) we managed to win thegames,” remarked Select FCcoach Matt Manfredi said. “It’sanybody’s game (but) we havehome field advantage…We wantto reach the finals and will doour best to compete well.”

In other Coastal Cup A ac-tion, the Burnaby u15 boys FCdoubled up on Coquitlam 4-2,and now visit Port Moody forthe Cup semifinal on Satur-

day, 10 a.m....The Upper IslandRiptide ended the Burnaby u14boys FC season in a 3-1 deci-sion...There were no explosionsfor the Burnaby Metro u14 girlsDynamite, who fell 4-1 toWestCoast in their quarterfinal...TheCoquitlam Metro-Ford Extremestopped the Burnaby u16 girls2-0 to end their Coastal Cuprun.

BLAZE REMAINRED-HOT

It’s off to the Coastal B Cupsemifinals for the Burnaby girlsu15 Blaze, after a 3-0 triumphover Port Moody last week.

Standout performances atmidfield from Georgia Cheung,Stephanie Ferriera Kay and Ni-cole Kuhn set the tone, with thelatter two counting key goals.

Also scoring was Paige Hea-slip, off a corner kick.

Goalkeeper Samantha Lou-tet withstood all Port Moody’sattack to record the shutout.Burnaby now plays host to Pow-ell River, 1 p.m. on Sunday atBurnaby Central.

BWCdefenderpicksupaward

For Sahvan Gill, there’s anathletic lineage that he’s happyto continue.

The BurnabyWinter Clubhockey and high school bas-ketball player has played sportsfor as long as he can remem-ber, for the love of it and nowpushing it to the elite level –especially as a member of theBurnabyWinter Club’s bantamAAA hockey team.

Groomed at BWC for thepast eight years, including aprovincial peewee title in 2013,16-year-old Gill has built a re-sume as a dependable bluelinerof 6-foot-1, 170-pounds.

Inspiring him to be his bestis his family, including thememory of his great-grandfa-ther Dara Singh, who was the1968 wrestlingWorld champi-on and a Bollywood movie star.

“My great-grandfather waspretty famous in India, a worldchampion wrestler,” notes Gill.“He was greatly respected andin the (wrestling) hall of fame.”

His heritage is an importantelement, as the teen was re-cently named the B.C. PunjabiAthlete of theYear for 2015.

His achievements across the

board played a role in beingchosen for such a lofty hon-our – including on his school’shonour roll, a leader on hisbasketball player, a communi-ty volunteer and contributor tocharitable causes.

“I was kind of surprised,” hesaid. “It was pretty cool to winan award like that and kind ofhumbling.”

Nominating Gill was BWCdirector Dan Melanson.

Gill plans on playing majormidget this coming season, andhas received calls from ma-jor junior and junior A teams.The teen is keeping his optionsopen at this stage.

A fan ofTampa Bay bluelin-erVictor Hedman, Gill is pas-sionate about hockey, just ashis dad Inder Gill was passion-ate about soccer as a youth.

“Hockey has been my fa-vourite sport but I like a lotof sports, including basketballand soccer,” said Gill, who ledhis high school hoop team inscoring. “I guess my strengths(in hockey) are I play smart,make good decisions and I’ma two-way player who helps onbreakouts.”
