A bookkeeper who pleaded guilty wellover a year ago to defrauding a Burnabyschool of $66,000 has yet to make a pleathat sticks.

Jodi Fingarsen, a 48-year-old formerbookkeeper at Alpha secondary, pleadedguilty to fraud in February 2014 for 66 ir-regular cheques she wrote between 2008and 2010.

During a sentencing hearing in June2014, however, judge Frances Howardthrew out Fingarsen’s guilty plea, sayingthe bookkeeper hadn’t actual acknowl-edged guilt.

“She seems to be doing everything shecan in her interviews to avoid admitting theactual act of fraud by kind of slipping un-der the umbrella of accepting responsibilityin a very vague sort of way,” Howard said.

Since then, Fingarsen has been sched-uled to enter a guilty plea four times, ac-cording to court services online, but eachtime her case has been adjourned at the re-quest of her lawyer, the second she has re-tained since her case began.

Fingarsen appeared inVancouver Provin-cial Court lastTuesday, and her case wasput off again until June 16.

Crown Counsel Peter Stabler called thecase “straightforward” at last June’s sen-tencing hearing.

When asked this week how long casesof this kind usual take to resolve, he said,“Not this long.”

Pledge includes opening five new basesand hiring 100 new workers

KinderMorganpromisesmoreresources ifpipelineOK’d

[email protected]

If the Kinder Morganpipeline expansion goesthrough, the company plansto invest $100 million inmarine oil spill responseplans, which include open-ing five new bases in B.C.,100 new staff and cuttingspill response times in half.

“As part of the expan-sion, there’s a commitmentto have an enhancement of(Western Canada MarineResponse Corporation)’sexisting resources,” saidKinder Morgan’s Mike Da-vies. “It would result in dou-bling of planning standardsfor response capacity.”

Western Canada MarineResponse Corporation is re-sponsible for marine oil spillcleanup in B.C., and theKinder Morgan plan wouldincrease the company’s stafffrom roughly 50 to 150.

“We think it’s fantas-tic.The proposal byTransMountain will only bene-fit the entire shipping com-munity in terms of the re-sponse,” said MichaelLowry, spokesperson for thecorporation.

WCMRC’s main baseis in Burnaby.The KinderMorgan plan includes fivenew bases, some of whichwill be operating 24 hours.The locations have not beenfinalized yet, butWCMRCis considering areas nearDeltaport, Nanaimo, Sid-ney, Sooke and Ucluelet.

Staffing and equippingthose bases requires roughly$100 million and 100 newemployees forWCMRC,which currently has about50 fulltime staff.

“That’s going to be a sig-nificant increase in our ca-pacity,” Lowry said.

For spills in theVancou-ver port, initial responsetimes would be reducedfrom six hours to two.Thenext step involves bringingin extra vessels and equip-ment to handle a spill up to20,000 tonnes, and the re-sponse time for that would

go from 72 hours to 36.Spills outsideVancouver’sport would have a six-hourresponse time along thesouthern shipping route,which runs underneath thelower portion ofVancouverIsland.

WCMRC is now re-quired to handle a clean-up of 10,000 tonnes of oilwithin 10 days, according toTransport Canada regula-tions, although the cleanupcompany can actually han-dle up to 26,000 tonnes,but that’s for the entireWestCoast of B.C.

With the Kinder Mor-gan expansion, the volumewould increase to 20,000tonnes for the southernshipping route.

An Aframax tanker,which is the type typicallyfilling up atWestridge, cancarry up to 120,000 tonnesof crude, but they can onlybe filled to 80 to 90 per centcapacity, depending on thetides.

WCMRC has agreed tobolster response plans forKinder Morgan as long asits existing customers don’thave to pay.That’s whyKinder Morgan is chargingits tanker customers an ex-tra, temporary fee to coverthe capital investment need-ed to boost response capac-ity.

Kinder Morgan has ap-plied to the National Ener-gy Board to twin theTransMountain pipeline and ex-pand the Burnaby Moun-tain tank farm and theWestridge MarineTermi-nal, where tankers fill upwith crude. If the expansionis approved, the resultingtanker traffic would increasefrom five vessels per monthto 34.Parade:Top, Stormtroopersham it up for the crowd in theHatsOffDayparade.Middle, someof theelaborate costumesondisplay.

three years.Besides writing fraudu-

lent cheques, the civil claimalleges Fingarsen “fraud-ulently converted, for herown use and for her ownbenefit, various amounts ofcash received from numer-ous sources as a result offundraising activities, dona-tions, student fees and feesfor field trips, etc.”

After criminal chargeswere laid in March, Burn-aby RCMP spokesperson

Cpl. David Reid told theNOW civil cases tend to fol-low the criminal trials.

“The civil trial looks tosee what is happening withthe criminal case first,” hesaid. “A civil trial does notrequire the (beyond a rea-sonable doubt) standardof evidence a criminal trialdoes.”

Stabler, however, saidthere’s no reason the crimi-nal case should be holdingup the civil claim.

“They should have no

effect on them whatsoev-er,” he said. “Civil can go inparallel with criminal andvice versa.”

Hey there, sports fans,Tourism Burnaby hassomething for you.

While the city has longbeen known for its athleticevents, from ringette tour-naments to Clan basketballchampionships,TourismBurnaby is now workingwith organizations to makeholding events in the cityeasier to manage.

The initiative comes withits own brand – Sport Burn-aby – which has its own webpage onTourism Burnaby’snew website.While the or-ganization has worked to-wards drawing champi-onships and other sportsevents – and the crowdsthat come with them – thecohesive initiative needed itsown identity, according toJennifer Scott, manager ofSport Burnaby.

“TheTourism Burnabybrand had taken us to a cer-tain point,” she said. “Butwe wanted a new emphasis,that with the Sport Burnabybrand, showed the exper-tise, the area of focus, thesport hosting history, andthe resources that are avail-able to sport groups that

are looking to Burnaby as ahost community.”

Finding a venue, ho-tel, bus transportation, andmaking all the connectionsnecessary for holding a ma-jor event can be dauntingfor organizers, Scott point-ed out.

“So we work as a one-stop shop to try to alleviatethose concerns or smoothout those bumps, or con-nect them with whateverresources they need in thecommunity,” she said.

Sport Burnaby workswith other sports organiza-tions in the community aswell, such as Fortius Sportand Health, city facilitiesand Simon Fraser Univer-sity.

Fortius recently hostedtheWestern nationals forrhythmic gymnastics, ac-cording to Scott.

“When we have eventsthere, we work in partner-ship with them,” she said.

Upcoming city events in-clude the Pacific Soccercoaching conference andexpo next week, the B.C.Rugby provincial champi-onships at the end of June,and the Cascadia Master’srowing championships inJuly.

SFU has been involvedin the Sport Burnaby ini-tiative, particularly when itcomes to attracting GreatNorthwest Athletics Con-ference events to the city,according to Milton Rich-ards, director of athleticsand recreation at SFU. SFUis the only Canadian mem-ber of the college athleticconference.

“We have a lot of outof town guests coming totown, especially with athlet-ics,” said Richards, who rep-resents SFU at the BurnabyBoard ofTrade andTourismBurnaby. Next fall, SFU isgoing to host the GNACwomen’s soccer conferencechampionship, he added.

“Sport Burnaby is real-ly helping us put the bid to-gether,” he said.

Last year, GNAC heldtheir commissioners’ con-

ference at the Hilton Me-trotown in Burnaby.Tour-ism Burnaby was veryinvolved in putting the bidin for the conference, aswell as setting it up, accord-ing to GNAC commission-er Dave Haglund.

“Tourism Burnaby haswelcomed the GNAC withopen arms,” he said. “Wereally appreciated all their

efforts in helping us landthat CCA meeting lastyear.”

Burnaby is a good loca-tion for GNAC events as itis an easy road trip for manyof its members, he added.

“Burnaby andVancouveris obviously a world classmetropolitan area,” Ha-glund said. “It’s convenientto many of our institutions.”

SFU may end up host-ing other GNAC champi-onships in the future, headded.

“Certainly, Simon Fra-ser Burnaby would be onour radar for other possiblehost opportunities in sportslike basketball, softball,cross country, those types ofthings,” he said.

Opinionnow

MYVIEWKEITHBALDREY

AreLiberalsgoingrogue?

Eventually, in the life of agovernment, arrogance andcynicism seem to inevitablyfind their way into the coreof its existence.

After 15 years in power,we may be witnessing thatwith the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment, which has snaggeditself on two hooks, neitherof which they are demon-strating much of an abilityto wriggle free from.

One of those hooks isthe festering sore that is themysterious firings of morethan a half dozen healthministry drug researchersback in 2012.The healthfirings continue to be oneof the more astonishing epi-sodes in B.C. political his-tory. Seven people had theirlives altered (one commit-ted suicide) and the govern-ment essentially lied aboutwhat happened.

The latest revelation --that there was no RCMPprobe after all, despite thegovernment claiming therewas one – is truly breath-taking in how it put to thelie a key part of the govern-ment’s narrative.

Government officials(Premier Christy Clark be-ing the latest) keep apolo-gizing for this tawdry tale,but no one can say who,exactly, pulled the pin onthese firings and who au-thorized the phony RCMPstory.The whole sorry epi-sode is starting to resemblea Nixon-like coverup.

There is, apparently,nothing on the written re-cord when it comes to gov-ernment records.

This aversion to record-keeping is not an isolatedexample. For years, a cul-ture has been building with-in the B.C. governmentthat avoids putting thingson the record, preferringto practise what Freedomof Information and Priva-cy Commissioner ElizabethDenham has called an “oralgovernment.”

And so we have the lat-est allegation from a formerpolitical staffer in the B.C.Liberal government.TimDuncan claims when he re-sisted deleting emails thatrelated to a Freedom of In-formation request that hadcome to his ministerial of-fice, a senior staffer grabbedhis keyboard and deletedthe dozen emails himself.

If true (Denham is in-vestigating), this incidentspeaks to an almost cheer-ful disregard for the law, orat least the spirit of it.Whenroutine Freedom of Infor-mation requests come backwith absolutely no recordsrelating to the issue at hand– a recurring event it ap-pears – you know some-thing bad is going on.

Firing employees for falsereasons, refusing to create apublic record and then de-stroying it if it’s requested-- these are the actions ofa government that appearsready to go rogue if that’swhat it thinks is required.Keith Baldrey is chief po-

litical reporter for Global B.C.See a full version of this col-umn online at www.burnabynow.com.

Celebration turned to horror after a rooftop parking lotabove a newly opened Save-On-Foods in Metrotown’sStation Square collapsed on shoppers in April.The roofgave way suddenly, sending cars and debris plunging intothe store, shortly after Mayor Bill Copeland and other of-ficials had delivered speeches to mark the store’s officialopening. About 1,000 people were in the building at thetime of the collapse. Fifteen were taken to hospital, butonly two remained more than two days.

When the sun comesout and temperatures goover 25 degrees some peo-ple seem to lose their brainswith their shirts.

So, to try and forestallsome of the summer fol-lies and tragedies (both bigand small) we offer this listof the top 10 things to door not to do. For those whoalways keep a cold brews-ki in the fridge and next tothe patio chair, perhaps youmay want to post this righton the fridge door:

1. Do not leave your patio

doors unlocked when youlive on the first floor. Un-less, of course, you want tohelp out the local thieves.

2. Do not leave top floorwindows open when youhave toddlers.Those flimsyscreens will not stop adven-turous kids – and will cer-tainly not stop them fromfalling through.

3. Do not leave dogs orchildren in cars alone dur-ing the summer – period.Forget about the “it’s onlyfor a minute”, or “there’s abreeze today and I left the

window open”. If you are indoubt about this, park yourcar in the sun and close thewindows and sit in it your-self.

4. If you live in an apart-ment and if your apartmentallows you to barbecue onyour balcony and if you’resober – cook on the grill.But if any of those ingredi-ents are missing – don’t doit.We have enough file pho-tos of blackened balconiesand firefighters climbing upladders trying to get peopleout of danger.

5. Let the bugs and dan-delions live. Slug bait andother killer chemicalsshould not mix with dogsand kids on lawns. Forgetthat they say it’s safe.Whowants to be part of a scien-tific study that disproves it20 years later.

6. If you’re lucky enough(and rich enough) to have apool then you can afford asecure fence and manage toensure that no kids are us-ing it unsupervised. Poolsare wonderful – but can alsobe lures for young ones who

can’t swim, or older oneswho can swim but want toshow off to friends.

7. Going for a walk in thewoods. Keep your eyes andears open.We’re lucky to beclose to nature. But natureisn’t always so lucky to beclose to us.There are bearsnearby, sometimes cougars– and there’s some pret-ty big mosquitos out thereas well

8.Watch out for cyclists.And cyclists – just plainwatch out.There’s more outthere in the summertime

and you can miss them inthe glare of a sunny day.

9.You don’t think it’shot enough for heat stroke?Think again.Wear a hat andkeep hydrated.

And, finally, number 10:Don’t take risks.Whetheryou’re diving off the dock ordriving to the park, or run-ning outside with a buck-et of ice cream, it’s better toslow down and think aboutit before you rush.The ex-tra couple of minutes mayjust save your life, or some-one else’s.

Don’t take companypromises at face valueDear Editor In the June5BurnabyNow,Michael Davies of KinderMorgan says that“There’s nothingmore important than thesafety of our neighbours,…”KinderMorgan’s proposal is to triple the

amount of flammable toxicmaterial directlyaboveour neighbourhoods andanelementaryschool. The storage terminal is not “locatedatthebaseof BurnabyMountain”, asMr. Daviessays; instead, it is on the slopeof themountainitself, uphill from residential neighbourhoods.Mr. Davies refers to the lackof a fire incident

in the first 60 years of the storage terminal as ifit predicts future events. It does not.Wehavenot hada large earthquake in the last 60 yearsbutmayhaveoneat any time. The safety ofthe existing tank farmhas simply not beentested.According toourDeputy Fire Chief’s report,

thenew tanksproposedare so large, and theirproposed configuration so close together, thata fire couldnot effectively be fought. Accordingto a recent report by international petroleumsafety expert Dr. Ivan Vinceof theU.K., not onlywould this expansionNOTbeapproved if itwasproposed in theU.K. or the EU, but the ex-isting tank farmwouldnot bepermitted tobebuilt today in its current location. The reportalso criticizes KinderMorgan’s emphasis onriskmitigation strategies.BecauseKinderMorgan stands toprofit

from the expansion, their statements are po-tentially biasedand shouldnot be automati-cally takenat face value.Evidence from independent expertswho

havenothing to gain is farmore credible thanpotentially biased statementsmadebyKinderMorgan.And saying the expansion is safe, in TV and

print advertisements and statements to themedia, does notmake it true.I believe that KinderMorgan is downplaying

the real danger to our community.I urge all residents of Burnaby to readour

Deputy Fire Chief’s report (tinyurl.com/KMFir-eReport) andDr. Vince’s report (tinyurl.com/KMVinceReport), anddecide for yourselves.AngelaBrooks-Wilson,PhD,Burnaby resi-dentandSimonFraserUniversityprofessor

B.C.needs anti-SLAPP legislationDear EditorNocorporation, includingKinderMorgan, shouldbepermitted to filemulti-million-dollar lawsuits simply todiscouragepeople legitimately protesting their project,and there shouldbea law inplace topreventthat fromhappening.It is quite obvious the intent of Kinder

Morgan,who voluntarily dropped the suit,when they got the effect theywanted from thecourts.Unfortunately, one gentleman, at least,was

more than$50K in thehole for legal bills, justto defendhimself against the lawsuit filedbyKinderMorgan.This gentlemanhasnow filed a lawsuit

ZiggyEckardtMoney cannot cureeverything. But even thebest plans orideasneedmoney toput them towork.What a great announcement byKinderMorgan!

earlrichardsKinderMorganowns50%of theWesternCanadianMarineResponseCorporation, soKinderMorgan is just giving the $100million tothemselves.

JohnCHunterAnd the amazingincrease in response capability is irrel-evant? Earl, give your heada shake.Industry can’twinwith you, can they?They formanorganizationdecadesago to cleanup spills, fund it, and thenreinforce it, andall youhave isnegativity.

earlrichardsTheHarpercons shouldhave left theCoastGuardwhere itwas.Theyhavebetter equipment and thestaffare already trained. Closing theKitsilanoCoastGuardBasenear theentrance to VancouverHarbourwasstupid.

JohnCHunterMYopinion: Earl, asusual, youhaveall your factswrong. Ihave told you this before -WCMRChasthe spill cleanupequipment; theCoastGuardhas essentially nothing - dittotheoldKits station. TheCoastGuardrole is to co-ordinate cleanup, not doit. Having seen your posts for a year, Ibelieve yourmotto is “ifmy story doesnot fit the facts, the factsmust bedis-posedof”. And youdo so consistently.

Letter writer stirs updebate over democracy

RickMcGowanMr.Myers shouldhave added “in cities” to the sentence,“Democracy inCanadaand inBritishColumbia hasbeenhijackedby thecorporate agendaanda completelack of honest leadership.” Anywherethere is a strongmajority ormonopolygovernment inCanadawe see anerosionof transparency anddemoc-racy, and, as thewriter points out, therise of corporate and special interestsabove the interests of the communitypoliticians are supposed to represent. Ican thinkof a fewother politicians thatdeserve recall.

ZiggyEckardtMr.Myers, Iwonderwhyyou include the federal Conservativesin your lament about “takingmarchingorders from their corporatemasters...”Are youby chance referring to ourNDPMPMr. KennedyStuart?

lmyers No.Mr. Stuart represents theinterests of the citizens of his riding in away that shouldbea lesson to thepup-pets that doonlywhat StephenHarperdemands eg. JamesMoore (whohasnoqualmsaboutmisrepresenting thefailed efforts to respond to the fuel spillin EnglishBay).

The B.C. Automobile As-sociation locked out ap-proximately 70 tow truckdispatchers on Monday, af-ter contract negotiations be-tween the company and thedispatchers’ union fell apart.

The members of the Ca-nadian Office and Profes-sional Employees UnionLocal 378 wore hats to workon Friday in violation ofthe company’s dress code,as part of their limited jobaction. Soon after, BCAAserved the members withlockout notice, according to

the vice-president of Local378, Heather Lee.

“Basically, they kiddedon Friday when they cameinto work wearing hats fromtheir home wardrobe, justtrying to get the employ-ers’ attention, to say let’s getback to the bargaining ta-ble,” she said.

However, BrendaLowden, BCAA vice-pres-ident and chief people of-ficer, said the lockout hadnothing to do with the em-ployees wearing hats.

“The union issued 72-hour strike notice on May29, and then refused toshare any details of that

strike plan with us,” shesaid, adding the compa-ny found out the employ-ees were sharing call scripts.“When we found out aboutthat, we had no choice butto issue lockout notice.Theunion then engaged in afullscale unscheduled break,and that left no one answer-ing phone calls in our roadassist emergency call centre.

“We realized, as a resultof that, we have to take ac-tion and implement a lock-out to ensure that our ser-vice is never interrupted likethat,” she added.

The dispatchers’ contractexpired last September.

On Friday morning,BCAA also informed themembers the companywould not be accepting va-cation requests from them.The company locked theemployees out at 4 p.m.sharp on June 8, accordingto Lee.

“It was actually rather bi-zarre. Our members werebasically interrupted mid-call, and the call was put onhold, and the members wereasked to leave the building,”she said.

The company com-menced with the lockoutdue to concerns that servic-es to BCAA members were

being affected by the dis-pute, Lowden said.

“We saw evidence ofsome disruptive activi-ty,” she said. “So when thathappens, our service is firstand foremost paramount toour members.They need toknow that they’ll continueto get the service that theyexpect.”

Managements is coveringall the calls and dispatch-ing drivers as needed, sheadded.

The primary issue be-tween the two parties iscompensation. Accordingto the union, employees ofBCAA’s car sharing com-

pany, who do similar tasks,work 35 hours a week andare paid the same wages asthe COPE 378 members,who work 40 hours a week.

But the company feels thecompensation it is offeringis adequate, according toLowden.

“BCAA provides faircompensation to all its em-ployees and we will alwaysbe equitable to everyone,and that’s a history thatwe’ve got,” she said.

Both sides say they wantto get back to the bargain-ing table.For more on this story, go to

Out of a senseless andtragic crime can come posi-tive change – at least that’swhat friends and family ofLuka Gordic hope.

Gordic had just turned19 years old when he waskilled inWhistler on May17.Three 17-year-olds andone 18-year-old, Arvin Gol-ic, were charged with man-slaughter for their allegedinvolvement in his death.

Police say Gordic’s deathwas the result of an alterca-tion between two groups ofyoung people, but his familydisagrees.

Gordic’s family andfriends believe the four ac-cused in Gordic’s deathshould be charged withmurder and treated asadults, rather than young of-fenders, and they’ve been

collecting signatures to peti-tion Crown counsel to seekthe more serious charge.

“This isn’t just about Lu-ka’s death, but it’s about theseriousness of this situationand how common it unfor-tunately is.They want peo-ple to know that collective-

ly, we can make a changeso that, in future, others donot need to suffer this heart-break and injustice,” Sar-ah Long wrote in an emailto the NOW on the Gordicfamily’s behalf.

As of June 8, more than23,900 people had signedthe Change.org petition.

Once Gordic’s family hascollected 25,000 signatures,they will forward the letterto Crown counsel.

“Together, we might beable to convince the Crownto charge these men asadults with murder,” statesthe petition’s website.

In the meantime, a web-site has been created tobring attention to the fam-ily’s #JusticeforLuka cam-paign. On June 21, friendsand family of the Burnabyyouth will hold a memorialinWhistler, and everyone iswelcome to attend.

“This is a very difficulttime for us all, and if thereis any good that can comeout of this tragedy, it’s thatwe’ve made a positive differ-ence,” Long wrote.

For more information onthe campaign and the pe-tition, visit justiceforluka.com.

Congratulations on your100th birthday.

Yeah, I feel good. I can’t be-lieve I’m that old.

What is your secret formaking it to your 100thbirthday?

Well, one thing, I don’t wor-ry. I think it’s a grave a mis-take for people to wor-ry about things. I just takeday to day as it comes, youknow.

How does one not wor-ry? That’s a hard thingsto do.

It’s a waste of time. I put my

mind on something else.

Can you tell me a lit-tle about what Burnabywas like before, when youwere a child?

Well, it was a lot more ru-ral than it is now, a lot ofwoods. I lived on PercivalAvenue, and there werelots of trees and the roadsweren’t paved the way theyare now. Douglas Road was.

What kinds of thingswould you do when youwere younger to have fun

in Burnaby?

We used to go swimming inDeer Lake, and we used togo for walks, and just thingskids do. I went to DouglasRoad school.

What are the biggestchanges you’ve noticedover the years in Burn-aby?

People used to be clearingtheir lands, a lot of smoke, a

lot of bonfires. … Of courseit’s got a lot more traffic anda lot more people. It was alot more rural when I wasgrowing up.

I understand you were apuppeteer.Was that yourpaid profession?

Yes. I really enjoyed it, andit was well paid. I liked writ-ing shows, and I like per-forming. … It was fun. Ev-erybody came to the shows.

The Outdoor Founda!on reports that mil-lions of North Americans go camping in agiven year.Typical campers go on Nve camping trips

per year. Campers include friends on theirtrips 70 per cent of the !me, and hiking isthe most popular camping trip ac!vity.Camping is a popular ac!vity, but many

curious would-be campers do not knowwhere to get started. It can be temp!ng topurchase all of the gear needed and trek outin the woods to give it a try.But, if camping is not all you expected it to

be, you have just made a costly investmentin a lot of equipment you are unlikely to useagain.Instead of jumping right in, Nrst try to

learn as much about camping as possible.Do your homework, learning about vari-

ous camping styles and which ones you pre-fer.Does the idea of ren!ng a recrea!onal ve-

hicle sound more invi!ng than sleeping in a

tent? Would you prefer a campground withshowers, toilets and other ameni!es, or isroughing it in the great outdoors more ap-pealing?Once prospec!ve campers are able to Nnd

their camping path, they can explore all ofthe possibili!es and give it a trial run.

TESTTHEWATERS

There’s bound to be a camping enthusiastin your midst. Find a friend or family mem-ber who enjoys camping out and Nnd out ifyou can join him or her on his or her nexttrip.Take advantage of this person’s supplies

(you may need to purchase nominal equip-ment, such as a backpack and sleeping bag)and exper!se.Such trips can provide some Nrsthand ex-

perience, and friends can o"er advice on thekeys to successful camping.It is generally easier to learn the ropes

from someone who has experience choosing

campsites and pitching tents, and this per-son also can o"er sugges!ons about gear.

HOWRUGGEDAREYOU?

The deNni!on of camping varies fromcamper to camper.For some, camping must include sleep-

ing on a bedroll strewn out under the stars,while others may appreciate a fewmore lux-uries on their camping excursions, like the

running water or equipment o"ered at acampsite or park.S!ll, others do not want to leave the perks

of home at home, preferring the comfort-able living of a recrea!onal vehicle. Nothingcan end a camping excursion more quicklythan discomfort and not enjoying the expe-rience. It is be#er to Ngure out in advancejust how rough you want things to be.

Try camping before you buy all of the gear

Burnaby North Grade11 student Jonathan Lewearned second place in anational competition lastmonth after capturing thebeauty of physics in a pho-tograph.

Lew snapped a shot ofSeattle’s 184m-tall SpaceNeedle reflected in a glasssculpture, and was runner-up in the InternationalYearof Light category of the Ca-nadian Association of Physi-cists’ Art of Physics compe-tition last month.

The association has runthe annual contest since1992 in a bid to stimulateinterest, especially amongnon-scientists, in the imag-ery associated with physics.

The challenge is to cap-ture a beautiful or unusu-al physics phenomenon in aphoto and explain it in lessthan 200 words in terms ev-eryone can understand.

Lew explained the gi-ant Seattle landmark – andmuch of the surroundingarea – was visible in the re-flection because the sculp-ture acted as a sphericalmirror.

To see all the winners, vis-it www.cap.ca/aop/art.html.

ARTSCONNECTION

Students at two Burna-by schools connected withthe arts this year thanks toa $13,000 grant from theWestminster Savings Foun-dation.

More than 250 studentsat Morley and Edmonds el-ementary schools spent theschool year exploring the vi-sual arts, dance, drama, androck and roll in Connect-ing with the Arts, an after-

school program for studentsin grades 1 to 7.

Designed to help kids de-velop social and emotion-al skills, the program runsthroughout the school year,with eight-week units focus-ing on each art form.

“For those kids whohaven’t found their placethrough academics or ath-letics, this program can betheir avenue to connect withthe school, come out of theirshell and have some fun,”Morley youth worker LanaHorton said.

Burnaby’s Connectingwith the Arts students show-cased their new art skillsat a year-end performanceat Morley elementary lastmonth.

PHYSICS EXCELLENCE

Two Burnaby studentscracked into the top 10 of anational physics competitionlast month.

Burnaby South’s Fed-erico Firoozi and Cari-boo Hill’s Ray Zhangscored third and 10th re-spectively in the 2015 SirIsaac Newton Exam put onby the department of phys-ics at the University ofWa-terloo in Ontario.Tao Jinfrom Burnaby North camein 77th. More than 1,900students from across Cana-da, the U.S. and other coun-tries wrote this year’s examin May.

SKILLEDCANADIAN

Burnaby South studentJason Sherle reached thepodium at the 21st annu-al Skills Canada nationals inSaskatoon, Sask. last month– and only missed qualifyingfor theWord Skills competi-tion by two steps.

Sherle, a student in theBurnaby School district’sACE-IT auto collision re-

pair program, won bronze,behind a gold medalist fromManitoba and a silver med-allist from Alberta.

Skills Canada puts onOlympic-style multi-trademulti-technology compe-titions at the regional, pro-vincial and national level foryoung Canadians pursuingskilled trades.

Sherle qualified for thenationals by winning goldat the provincial competi-tion in April. He also wonthe faculty award for topstudent in the auto collisionrepair and refinishing pro-gram atVancouver Commu-nity College, which partnerswith the Burnaby district tooffer the ACE-IT auto colli-sion repair program.

I have a funny habit ofbuying the occasional lot-tery ticket and not checkingthe numbers, knowing fullwell that winning tickets areworthless after one year.

Lotteries foster magicalthinking.We like to dream.What would you do with anextra $1,000, $10,000 or$100,000?What would youdo with a million dollars?

Those really big numbersboth delight and confuseus.We forget about the tee-ny, tiny numbers – like ourodds of actually winning.

Lotteries can be a tax onthe poor. As a kid, I remem-ber seeing desperate look-ing people spending $20 ormore for the improbablechance of winning big andimproving their lives.

The feeling of imaginingwinning really is enjoyable,and to some it can be an ad-diction.That magical feel-ing and the optimistic think-ing that goes along with itinstantly deflate when we’ve

found out we’ve lost.That’sprobably why I wasn’t keenon checking my soon-to-beunlucky numbers.

Even if you don’t buy lot-tery tickets, you’re still aplayer in the big lottery oflife.

There’s the genetic lot-tery, the random mix up ofgenetic traits you acquired

from your mom and dad. Ifyour parents don’t look likeBrad Pitt or Angelina Jolie,you probably don’t look likeeither of them.

You got half your genesfrom each parent, but thosegenes were randomly dis-tributed to you and anysiblings. Nature may havethrown in a number of mu-tations, and this all makesyou a complete individual.

Your unique geneticmakeup, the events of your

life, your childhood andyour relationships are yoursalone through chance, ser-endipity, karma or divineintervention.You may notthink of these as prizes, butthey are.

If you knew you had justone year, one month or oneweek left of life, what wouldyou do with this time? Howwould you use the gifts youhave been given?

With your limited timeremaining, who would youcall?What would you say?Who would you spend timewith?Where would you go?What would you do?

The reality is that ourlives are limited.Thoughwe live each day with an as-sumption of immortality, wewon’t live forever, and be-cause of this, we limit our-selves.We don’t take stockof what we have when wehave it and this is what lim-its us most.

You have a unique poten-tial in your life today. It isworth much more than thelottery ticket in your pocketand certainly more than theold ones in your drawer.

Life is a lottery, but most

of us don’t realize what wehave won. Check your win-nings now and spend themwhile you can. Look at yourtalents.What useful skillscome easily to you?Whatcan you improve and refinewith practice?

Look at your relation-ships.What can you do to

appreciate and strengthenthose connections? Is thereanything important left un-said? In what ways can youexpress your love?

Look at the positive po-tential of each day.Whatsmall thing can you do tomake someone else’s day?Who in need can you help?

What great things can youdo with your life?

You are already a winner.Share your special gifts withothers.Dr.DavidicusWong is a

family physician.Read moreabout achieving your positivepotential at davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

BurWestpairwinitagainSt.Thomas More Collegiate finish in fourth place in overall track and field [email protected]

NewWestminster’s wonderwomen helped do it again.

Senior sprinter RaquelTjerna-gel and all-round Grade 11 ath-lete Nina Schultz headlined the48th annual B.C. high school trackand field championships, winningsix individual gold medals betweenthem and figuring prominently ina seventh – the girls’ 4x400 metrerelay.

The accumulation of medals wasgood enough to ensure the Hy-acks’ track team a second consec-utive girls’ and overall aggregatebanner for NewWestminster thatmade school history last year withits first-ever provincial banners intrack and field.

Schultz won the meet’s mostoutstanding female athlete honourfor a second straight year, winningthe long jump, high jump and triplejump to go along with the secondconsecutive provincial heptathlontitle she won two weeks earlier.

Tjernagel, who defended herprovincial high school titles in boththe 100 and 200m, did not com-pete in the 400m, where she set thefastest time in the world to date,breaking the 53-second barrier inher age group earlier in the season.

Both girls were at their best inthe relay as well, finishing off themeet with spectacular individualrelay legs.

After junior varsity relay partnersEmily Chilton and Grace Fether-stonhaugh did their part, Schul-tz took the baton in sixth placeand moved up three places beforehanding off toTjernagel for the an-chor leg.

The Coquitlam Cheetah sprint-er took the baton trailing well be-hind the leaders but proceeded toreel in the front runners, catchingthem all by the final 200 metresand blazing down the stretch with a10-metre lead before breaking thetape almost two seconds ahead ofthe runner-up in a winning time of

4:03.03.“I just knew Raquel would take it

home,” said Schultz after the race.“We all pushed hard,” added

Tjernagel. “I always find it fun run-ning with the team.We always pusheach other.”

Although well off the provincialrecord in the relay,Tjernagel andSchultz defended last year’s titles,posting big numbers in their re-spective victories.

Tjernagel defeated St.Thom-as More Collegiate rival and run-ner-up Zion Corrales-Nelson towin the 100m for a second straightseason and successfully defend the200m for a third consecutive year,clocking winning times of 11.76and 24.34, respectively.

Schultz also defended her B.C.high school titles in the high jumpand triple jump, while taking thelong jump for the first time with a

5.69m leap. Schultz won the highjump at 1.75m and the triple jump,with a 11.64m leap.

“I’m pretty happy with it. I per-sonally don’t care about the win-ning. It’s all about the results andgetting better,” said Schultz.

Tjernagel was equally satisfieddespite failing to break the provin-cial records in both sprints.

“I wanted to get both, it’s my lastyear. But I’m happy with that, it’sOK,” saidTjernagel.

Corrales-Nelson picked up athird straight senior metric quar-ter-mile gold medal with a win-ning time of 55.60. Her times inthe 100 and 200m were also fast –an 11.96 in the sprint and 24.74 inthe 200m.

“I just wanted to run a goodrace, but there is still a lot of workto do,” said Corrales-Nelson.

Elsewhere on the track, BurnabyCentral’s Nathan Mah garnered apair of bronze medals in the seniorboys’ sprints, placing third in the100m in a time 11.39 after postingthe fastest time in the preliminaryheats with a 11.08 clocking.

STM’s Samantha Landoldt alsocaptured a medal at the provincialmeet, finishing third place in thegirls’ shot put following a 10.63mthrow in the shot put. Landoldtalso placed fifth in the javelin.

Finishing just off the podium infourth place were Ben Steele forSTM in the boys’ javelin and NewWest’s Shea Jobson-Stier in theboys’ 2,000m steeplechase.

Also making finals were ByrneCreek’s Kimberly Ma in the girls’100m hurdles, Racquel Milosav-ljevic of Central in the girls’ 100m,Joshua Juni of STM in the boys’800m and Marco Sherwood ofCentral in the boys’ long jump.

“We’re definitely running for in-dividual pride, but it comes downto what you can do for the team,”said Juni, who will run track nextyear with Simon Fraser University.

JrsstagebigcomebackforsecondwinBurnaby Lakers score seven unanswered goals to knock off the PoCo [email protected]

A bad penalty broughtout the best in the Burna-by Lakers.

Stinging from a 7-2 def-icit, the junior A Lakersturned a five-minute slash-ing major into the catalystfor an unlikely comeback inBurnaby’s 9-7 victory overthe Port Coquitlam Saintsat the Bill Copeland SportsCentre on Sunday.

Two shorthanded coun-

ters by Aidan Milburn andAnthony Quattrano, tostart things off, sparked anunanswered nine-goal rallythat ended a Burnaby los-ing streak at nine games.

“We always seem to digourselves a big hole and al-ways come back, but thistime we came back andwon,” said Milburn, wholed the Lakers with a hattrick.

With six call-ups and itstwo top midget draft picksout of the lineup, Burnaby

took inspiration from right-handerTyler Kirkby andDanny Spagnuolo, on theleft side, to keep the come-back going in the final 20minutes.

Kirby shaved the defi-cit to 7-5 with a lazer to thetop corner in the openingminutes of the third period.

Spagnuolo, with back-to-back markers less than twominutes later, tied the con-test at sevens.

Jordan Lashar scored thegame-winning goal on an

unassisted loose ball break-away at the midway markof the period.

Milburn finished off theSaints with his league-lead-ing 26th goal of the sea-son – a quick shot from theright side to the top cornerthat beat PoCo’s Giulio DelBianco.

Graham Husick had hisbest game in Laker green,posting a 0.837 save per-centage while making 36stops and blanking PoCofrom the 6:39 mark of the

second period on.“I just think we need-

ed to bear down,” saidMilburn. “It was definite-ly a Burnaby (character)win.We’re pretty fired upin there. But we’ll have tocome down to Earth forour next game though.”

Burnaby is in LadnerSaturday for a date with theDelta Islanders.The Lak-ers are back at the Cope-land centre next Sunday tomeet the LangleyThunder.Game time is 7 p.m.
