COUNCIL SAYS:

Jennifer Gauthier/burnaby now

NEBwill hold hearing on pipeline accessThe National Energy Board is holding

an oral hearing on Oct. 8 in Calgary toresolve the legal imbroglio between thecity and Kinder Morgan over the BurnabyMountain conservation area.

While Burnaby is arguing KinderMorgan is breaking the local bylaw bycutting trees in a city park, the pipeline

company maintains it has the federal-ly sanctioned right to work on the city-owned property, whether Burnaby grantspermission or not.

TheNEBwants the two parties to weighin on the issue at the Calgary hearing andanswer questions on whether the boardhas the legal authority to strike downBurnabys bylaw, so Kinder Morgan canwork on the mountain.

Well hear arguments from both sides

and any attorney generals, should theychoose to participate, said NEB spokes-person Sarah Kiley.

Mayor Derek Corrigan took issue withthe Calgary location, pointing out that thedistance makes it difficult for Burnabyresidents to attend.

We requested that the hearings takeplace here, Corrigan said in a mediarelease on Monday.

Langley and Abbotsford, two munici-

palities already granted intervenor sta-tus in the pipeline hearing, plan to backBurnaby in the Oct. 8 hearing, and thecitys lawyer expects more to come for-ward.

The big issue here is whether the NEBhas the power to strike down munici-pal laws, Greg McDade told the NOW.This is a really important constitutional

The release of the Burnaby FireDepartments annual report was as good areason as any for council to criticize ambu-lance response times in the city.

At Mondays council meeting, Coun.Colleen Jordan highlighted the types of callsthat the fire department responds to, andnoted that more and more of them are medi-cal emergencies.

The 2013 annual report shows that59.2 per cent of the calls that our fire depart-ment responds to are classified as medicalemergencies, and that doesnt include anoth-er 1,500 motor vehicle incidents, she said.

In total, thats 70 per cent of the calloutsthat our fire department responds to. The fireservice is becoming much more of a rescueservice than a fire service.

Jordan noted proper paramedic servicewas a hot topic at the recent Union of B.C.Municipalities conference and said that in

Burnaby school officials are concerned agovernment clawback of teacher-strike sav-ings will leave a hole in this years budget.

In a memo sent to school districts abouttwo weeks ago, the Education Ministryannounced it will reclaim all strike savings

from September.The problem, according to Burnaby secre-

tary-treasurer Greg Frank, is that, while thedistrict has saved money on teacher salariesand benefits since the beginning of the fiscalyear, which started in August, it has also lostrevenue from things like summer school andadult education and incurred extra costs forthings like fieldtrips for international students

during the days the strike held up the begin-ning of the school year.

If theyre just looking at savings, andweve got all these extra costs or lost revenues,were concerned with this years budget,Frank said.

Unlike the total clawback of Septemberstrike savings, the province only took back$5.2 million of the $9.6 million the districtsaved during job action in May and June,according to audited 2013/14 financial state-ments Frank presented to the board of educa-tion last week.

School officials hadhoped touse the remain-ing $4.4-million surplus to cover a significantbudget shortfall projected for next year.

But now theyre working to find out if itwill even be enough to cover extra expensesand lost revenue this school year.

Part of our concern is, the surplus thatwe had from last year, is that going to be suf-ficient to help cover off some of these otherfunding shortfalls that weve got in the cur-rent year? Frank said.

The district will provide the EducationMinistry with details on all strike-related sav-ings, he said, along with information aboutadditional costs and lost net revenues, butthe government has made no promises aboutpitching in extra money to make up for thelatter.

At this point, the ministry has indicatedthat theyll be taking back the savings, andtheyre going to consider the additional costs,Frank said, but they havent yet made a com-mitment to allow us to retain enough fundingto cover those off, and thats what our concernis.

District forced to rethink budget

Budget uncertainty: Burnaby school district secretary-treasurer Greg Frank, pictured hereat a school board meeting in the spring, said a government clawback of teacher strikesavings could mean changes to this years budget.

GOVERNMENT RECLAIMS MONEY SAVED DURING STRIKE

Burnabywants NewWest to put brakes onThe City of Burnaby has some

issues with New Westminstersdraft transportation plan and iscalling on the neighbouringmunic-ipality to review the proposed traf-fic strategy.

Last week, council voted infavour of authorizing city staff toengage in a detailed review ofthe various cycling, truck routeand road classification issues aris-ing from New Westminsters draftmaster transportation plan, high-lighting concerns with cross-bor-der cycling connections and the

removal of regional truck traffic.Coun. Nick Volkow, a former

truck driver, took issue with theidea of creating a three-kilome-tre tunnel near Third Avenue todivert truck traffic under most ofNew Westminster.

I think most people in MetroVancouver are aware of NewWestminsters desire to have notruck traffic on their streets, whichis an admirable goal, he said. Idare say that truck traffic is prob-ably not compatible with mostcities aspirations in the LowerMainland, but the reality is in amajor metropolitan area, trucktraffic is part of the scenery.

As much as I would like toaccommodate New Westminsterin shutting down all truck trafficgoing through there, I dont thinkthat can happen.

Coun. PaulMcDonell expressedsimilar concerns, namely with theproposed closure of several streetsin New Wests truck network,including Front Street.

Traffic is an issue in everymunicipality, he said. I thinkin Burnaby, weve handled thisas well as we could. We have fivedifferent routes through our cityfor traffic flow.

If you go down Marine Way,Kingsway,CanadaWay,Lougheed

or Hastings, a lot of those are traf-fic commutes in the morning andafternoon. There are people justcommuting through our city.

He likened closing off one ofthose routes to plugging a leak,only to have another spring upelsewhere.

The trucks are going to traffic,and every time you shut down oneroute, it just means theyre goingto blow up another one.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said forNew West to close parts of itstruck traffic network, the big rigswould detour through Burnaby

principle with ramificationsbeyond this particular fight. If theNEB is going to seize the powerto strike down (these) laws, thenwere all in trouble.

As part of the larger, $5.4-billion Trans Mountain expan-sion, Kinder Morgan wants tobuild a pipeline through the con-servation area. However, whencrews started clearing the land inSeptember, the city issued a stop-work order and tickets for cut-ting down trees. Kinder Morgan

then asked the NEB for an accessorder to force Burnaby to cooper-ate, but the board rejected that,asking instead for a notice ofconstitutional question sincegranting the request would meanoverriding Burnabys bylaw.Kinder Morgan filed that noticeFriday, and the NEB has beenquick to respond, as promised.

While the city has applied tothe B.C. Supreme Court to ruleon the conflict, Kiley said theboard can handle constitutionalquestions.

We have the juris-diction to rule on aconstitutional issue. Itsays that in the NEBAct, we have that right,but generally speakingwe would want to hearfrom both parties, andthe attorney generals,she said.

After the hearing, thethree-person panel han-dling theTransMountainexpansion will make adecision.

Meanwhile, KinderMorgan has stoppedwork on BurnabyMountain but has alert-ed Westridge residentsthat survey work willcontinue in their neigh-bourhood, which wastheoriginalplan.KinderMorgan opted for theBurnaby Mountainroute to avoid crossingfour private propertiesand backlash from local

residents.

The current pipeline, in placesince the 1950s, runs throughthe Westridge area, but KinderMorgan would like to decom-mission it and run it throughBurnaby Mountain, along withthe new pipeline.

Last week, the citys anti-pipe-line motion at the Union of B.C.Municipalities conference wasnarrowly defeated, but Burnabysemergency resolution calling forNEB hearing reform was passed.

putting added stress to the citys roads.Even within the report, its indicated

traffic, trucks particularly, may have to gothrough Burnaby from New Westminsterto access other places in New Westminster,which takes it to the point of absurd, hesaid.

WhileIoftensidewithNewWestminsteron issues like the Pattullo Bridge theresa point where youve got to have a good-neighbour policy to ensure were all ableto deal with the implications of decisionsyoure making in your own municipality.

On Monday, New Westminster citycouncil approved the citys master trans-portation plan.

New West Coun. Jonathan Cote, whoco-chairs the citys master transportationplan committee, said Burnaby councilsstance may be a bit of an overreactionand assured changes to truck traffic routesin NewWest would have a minimal impacton neighbouring city streets.

Our plan still recognizes that NewWestminster plays a role for a goods move-ment strategy, but we do have some routesthat are going through neighbourhoodsthat are just not appropriate for major truckroutes and some that dont even have amajor demand, he said, calling the tunnela creative solution to the citys truck trafficproblem.

Anumber of key FirstNations leaders haveadroitly realized the bestway to kill the Site C dam proj-ect may be to hitch their poten-tial support for building LNGpipelines to the dam never beingbuilt.

Getting First Nations sup-port for any major economicdevelopment that involves landuse or the extraction of naturalresources has been the realityin recent years and will onlybecome more critical in the yearsahead.

The strong opposition of FirstNations is a major reason whyEnbridges Northern Gatewaypipeline will likely never bebuilt. Premier Christy Clarksgovernment faces a number ofchallenges towards getting anLNG industry up and runningin this province, not the least ofwhich is ensuring First Nationsdont decide to block any pipe-lines or projects.

So when three key B.C. FirstNations leaders travelled toOttawa last week to send a mes-sage to the federal governmentthat they strongly oppose the

Site C dam but might be opento supporting other forms ofenergy, including LNG pipelines its important that everyone situp and take notice.

Chief Roland Wilson of theWest Moberly First Nation,which would be most directlyaffected by the massive floodingthat would occur if Site C damis built, made it clear he wontsupport any LNG pipelines ifSite C proceeds. His band is oneof the few bands to have signeda treaty with the provincial gov-ernment, having done so backin 1899. As such, its not entirelyclear how the recent SupremeCourt of Canada landmark deci-sion conferring aboriginal titlewill affect treaty bands opposi-tion to Site C.

Nevertheless, Wilsonssupport for LNG pipelines islikely needed, and so is that ofother First Nations. This is notgoing to be an easy thing tosecure, given that not all FirstNations share the same views onresource development.

Public opposition to LNGdoes not appear to be anywherenear the level attached to oilpipelines like Northern Gatewayor Kinder Morgans proposedtwinned pipeline project. Aspill from an LNG pipelinesimply dissipates into the atmo-sphere, instead of fouling creekbeds or coast lines.

The main concern over natu-ral gas extraction is the practice

Tories need to back apologywith actionIt was the exchange that launched

a thousand face palms: NDP leaderTom Mulcair questioning ConservativeMP Paul Calandra last week on thegovernments plan for Canada in Iraq.Calandra continually evaded the ques-tions and responded with anon-sequiturial criticism ofthe NDPs position on Israel over and over again.

It was awful, it was embarrassing,it made a mockery of respectful debateamong adults at the highest level ofpower in Canada.

Dealing with non-answers is a com-mon frustration for journalists, whichonly partially explains why Calandrais getting scorched by the media.Regular folks are also finding the now-infamous Mulcair-Calandra exchange

annoying as a video of theincident makes the rounds onsocial media.

Calandra delivered a tear-ful apology in the House last Friday,and CBC reported that a senior stafferin the Prime Ministers Office put himup to the non-answers. (Make no mis-

take, his apology was likely scripted bysenior bureaucrats as well.)

However, the authenticity of an apol-ogy is measured by action. You can cryall you want and you can say sorry, butare you willing to change your behav-iour?

The Conservatives had a chance todo just that, thanks to an NDP motionthat would give the speaker morepower to stop irrelevant questions andanswers during question period.

The vote was Tuesday night, and aswe were going to press, Burnaby-New

Westminster MP Peter Julian was tryingto get a minimum of 12 Tories to sup-port the motion to get it passed.

When the NOW last spoke withJulian, he had one. The speaker alreadyhas the power to quash irrelevancy inother areas of the house its just ques-tion period where this silliness stillhappens. If Calandra is truly sorry forhis performance in the house, we expecthim to not only support the motionbut lobby his fellow Tories to back it.Otherwise, his apology is just moreempty theatrics.

Is writer living in a glass house?Dear Editor:

Re: Letters to the Editor: Protesters help terror-ism, Burnaby NOW, Sept 24 and Put conspiracytheories away, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 26.

Letter writer Ziggy Eckardt wrote about whatmight happen if we stop developing Canadas natu-ral resources: The world is not going to stop usingoil. Canadas potential customers will simply keepbuying it from their old suppliers in the MiddleEast. He also pointed out that Islamic terroristsare for the most part financed by oil producing Arabstates.

It is obvious that subsequent writer Lou Kaiserdoes not like these statements. But, instead of offer-

ing a rational rebuttal, Kaiser uses the age-old tacticof those who have nothing of substance to contrib-ute to any given debate. He simply resorts to namecalling and attacking the messenger.

He starts by calling Eckardts common sensestatements conspiracy theories. And then he pro-ceeds, while oblivious that it could be more fittinglyapplied to Kaiser himself, to drop the bombshell: Itseems to be outside his grasp to see that there areother points of view out there besides his own.

Kaisers lack of tolerance for different opinionsgoes so far that he accuses these folks, meaninganyone who disagrees with him, of being financedby American corporations.

He really knows how to dish it out! He devotes

fully 153 words to this kind of ad homi-nem innuendos.

And then, at the end of his letter, per-haps to justify his lack of reasoning, hetacks on 22 words of platitudes aboutclean air, clean water and future gener-ations as if to accuse those of us who sup-port responsible resource development ofnot valuing these motherhood-and-apple-pie concepts.

Kaisers conduct is reminiscent of theold adage about people who live in glasshouses.

Are your concerns moreimportant than others?Dear Editor:

With regard to the letter by Jim Ervin,How Is MLA spending her time? (BurnabyNOW, Sept. 26) with regard to smartmeters, may I submit the following:

Jane Shin gets hundreds of lettersrequesting her to take action on someindividuals personal complaint.

She doesnt run the legislature.

She is fortunate if she gets an opportu-nity to address even one or two conten-tious problems since she is only one of85 members with a right to address thehouse.

Furthermore, if the problem area is notwithin her portfolio, she would forward itto the member that is involved for his/herconsideration.

In the meantime, she did tell the com-plainant that she would discuss this withSharon Stone of the Anti-SmartmeterCoalition when they meet at the end ofOctober.

So she is taking his request seriously.As for the newsletter that went out last

spring, that was probably in final draftlong before the request by the complainantwas made.

At that time, as of right now, there wasnothing to report.

I would humbly suggest that the per-son who wrote this letter to the editor isnot well apprised of parliamentary proce-dures, wrote in ignorance of any actionsthat may have already happened withinthe party and the legislature, or errone-ously believes that his concerns outweighthe concerns of others.

When there is something to report, itwill be reported in the newsletter of theNDP minister responsible for such con-cerns, not Jane Shin.

of fracking, which involvesinjecting huge amounts ofwater laced with chemicalsdeep into the ground inorder to loosen gas depos-its. But so far, at least,there is not much evidenceof a groundswell of oppo-sition to this practice.

But the opposition,from both the generalpublic and First Nations,towards the Site C damproject will likely increasesubstantially in the yearsahead. Chief Wilsonargues that his territoryis already abuzz with allkinds of industrial activ-ity fracking, gas wells,windfarms and to addboth LNG pipelines and amassive hydroelectric damis simply too much, andthats an argument thatwill likely gain more trac-tion with the public.

So dont be entirely sur-prised if the B.C. govern-ment loses enthusiasm for

building Site C if it realizesdoing so may jeopardize amore prized part of its eco-nomic and energy strategy getting an LNG industryfirmly established in thisprovince.

!I see the Ministry of

Children and FamilyDevelopment is onceagain displaying its trade-mark tone-deafness, as ithas apparently decidedto deduct post-second-ary bursaries from anyfinancial aid foster youthreceive from the province.

Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the B.C.Representative forChildren and Youth, blewthe whistle on the schemelast week, calling it pettyand embarrassing.She had led a successfulcampaign to provide freetuition for foster youth,who statistically facetougher challenges whenit comes to education,

employment and avoidingpoverty.

A number of B.C. finan-cial institutions stepped upto the plate, and providedfree tuition or bursaries.But now the ministry isclawing them back fromthese vulnerable youth.Turpel-Lafond disclosedone case that saw a fosteryouth have a $1,300 bur-sary deducted from hersupport payments, and shesays she has heard froma number of other fosteryouth over the summerwho reported similar sto-ries.

Turpel-Lafond hasdemanded the problembe fixed immediately.Given her track record ofwinning these kinds ofbattles, I can only assumeit will be. But as of thiscolumns writing, it hadnot. Get on it, MCFD.

The NDP is attempting to keep questionperiod in the House of Commons on trackwith a motion to give the House Speakermore powers to block irrelevant questionsand answers.

The party used its opposition dayto put the motion forward, however, themajority-holdingConservatives could verylikely vote it down unless at least 12 Toriessupport it. The vote takes place Tuesdaynight, after NOW deadlines.

NDP House leader Peter Julian, the MPfor Burnaby-NewWestminster, is working

on bolstering Tory support.Canadians expect question period

to actually include answers, Julian toldthe NOW. Other jurisdictions, otherparliaments, like theUnited Kingdom andAustralia, already givetheir speaker this abil-ity.

The NDP motionfollowed a recentexchange betweenNDP leader TomMulcair and Tory MPPaul Calandra. WhenMulcair askedCalandraabout the governmentsplan in Iraq, Calandraresponded with an unrelated criticism onthe NDPs position in Israel repeatedly.

the past four years, theresbeen no increase in para-medic service in Burnaby.

Mayor Derek Corriganclarified that theBurnaby FireD e p a r tm e n tis happy torespond to non-fire emergen-cies but stressedthat inadequateambulance ser-vice, pairedwith backupsat BurnabyHospital thatmaydelaypara-medics fromgetting to theirnext call, can be a matter oflife and death.

We dont mind thatwere the closest to thescene, but the program is

exacerbated when, in fact, ittakes a half-hour for a para-medic vehicle to arrive,he said, calling on the pro-vincial government to step

up the servicelevels for B.C.municipalities.

I hate to becomp la in ingabout the levelof service byanother orderof government,but this justisnt satisfac-tory, both inthe sense of thehospital beingable to serviceproperly and in

the sense of the paramedicsbeing available to us.

In April, Burnaby FireChief Doug McDonaldcriticized B.C. Emergency

Health Services for down-grading certain types ofmedical emergencies, caus-ing longer wait-times forambulances. He cited sever-al incidents, including a 21-minute wait for an ambu-lance after a local man wentinto cardiac arrest.

That incident promptedBurnaby-Deer Lake MLAKathy Corrigan, then theNDP critic for Public Safetyand Corrections, to call onHealth Minister Terry Laketo order an investigationinto the incident.

Awalk through history in the HeightsWhat was Burnaby Heights like in the 1960s and`70s?Local resident Jack Bramhill, 60, spoke at aBurnaby Historical Society gathering recently, giving usa glimpse back in time through the eyes of a child.

The city has changed from a sleepy suburb to a hubof construction activity, but Bramhill recalled when theBosa brothers, now major development magnates, werestill attending Burnaby Heights Secondary.

Like now, the Heights was the place to shop. Hastingswas lined with billboards and empty lots, where kids

played commando. HastingsStreet was paved, but the rusticside streets were covered ingravel, and if you fell off yourbike, youd be covered in the oilused to keep the dust down.

Every home with a televi-sion had an antenna on top, and

people would often have to re-jig them after windstorms.If you wanted to see TV in colour, you could go to

the Golden Horseshoe restaurant for dinner. GlenburnDairy was the place to go for ice cream, before it wastorn down and replaced by a Smittys pancake restau-rant. Valley Bakery, still a popular shop today, was upand running at the time. Rays Associated Grocery, onOxford and Gilmore, was the place to buy baseball cardsand candy, like licorice pipes and cigarettes made ofsugar now considered inappropriate for children.

If you went bowling in the Heights, in the days beforeautomation, there were pinboys who set up the pinsyou knocked over.

These are the memories of Burnaby I have as achild, Bramhill told the audience, while flippingthrough a slideshow of black-and-white photos from thecitys archives.

Bramhill wasnt the only one sharing memories.Audience members brought photos and relics from daysgone by, sharing their memories of the Heights.

FACT

S The leading cause of fires inthe kitchen is unattended cooking.

Most cooking fires in the homeinvolve the stovetop.

Cooking and Kids: Have akid-free zoneof atleast 3feet around the stove andareas where hot food or drinkis prepared or carried.

COOKWITH CAUTION Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alco-hol dont use the stove or stovetop. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, orbroiling food. If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food,check it regularly, remain in the home while food iscooking, and use a timer to remind you that you arecooking. Keep anything that can catch re oven mitts,woodenutensils, food packaging, towels or curtains away fromyour stovetop.

IF YOU HAVE A COOKING FIRE... Just get out! When you leave, close the door behindyou to help contain the re. Call 911 or the local emergency number after youleave. If you try to ght the re, be sure others are gettingout and you have a clear way out. Keep a lid nearby when youre cooking to smothersmall grease res. Smother the re by sliding the lidover the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pancovered until it is completely cooled. For an oven re turn off the heat and keep the doorclosed.

SmokeAlarms

Preventing home fires inBurnaby is always our numberone priority. We work in part-nership with our citizens. Burnabysresidents need to provide the bestprotection to keep their homes andfamilies safe in the event of a fire.This can be achieved by developingan escape plan which you practiceregularly and equipping homes withlife-saving technologies like smokealarms and home fire sprinklers.

The following tips will help keepyour family safe if there is a fire inyour home:

Install smoke alarms inside eachbedroom, outside each sleepingarea, and on every level of the home(including the basement).

Interconnect all smoke alarms inthe home so when one sounds, theyall sound.

Test smoke alarms at least monthlyand replace all smoke alarms whenthey are 10 years old or sooner ifthey do not respond when tested.

Make sure everyone in your homeknows how to respond if the smokealarm sounds.

Pull together everyone in yourhousehold and make a plan. Walkthrough your home and inspect allpossible ways out. Households withchildren should consider drawinga floor plan of your home, markingtwo ways out of each room, includ-ing windows and doors.

If you are building or remodellingyour home, consider installing homefire sprinklers.

If a Fire Actually Starts:

In the event that a fire does start inthe home, the following steps shouldbe taken:

1. First, get out!

2. Dial 911 from a neighbours house.

3. Dont go back into the burninghouse.

4. If you think someone is trappedinside, tell the firefighters whenthey arrive.

24 Another shutout for KnightsSECTION COORDINATOR Cayley Dobie, 604-444-3059 [email protected]

At first blush, boxers Rosalia Calla andRobert Couzens, of the North BurnabyBoxing Club, seem like yin and yang.

She is like a humming bird. She isa five-foot-two, 33-year-old spark plugwho laughs easily, seems to never stopmoving and speaks as fast as she swings.Her weekly schedule includes workingas a nutrition expert at a grocery store,coaching other boxers and training morethan the average football team fits into amonth.

Couzens, 22, works out just as much,but is five-foot-eleven, soft-spoken, seri-ous, shy unless he is talking about boxingand speaks carefully, as if considering theimportance of every word.

Despite their differences, the pair havea lot in common besides their shared club.They are both experienced, accomplishedboxers heading along with three otherfighters from their club to the WorldBoxing Council (WBC) amateur Canadianchampionships, in Mississauga later thismonth.

Callas list of accomplishments in thering include 2006 and 2009 B.C. BronzeGloves Champion, 2007-2008 B.C. topfemale boxer of the year award, 2008Tacoma Golden Gloves champion (firstCanadian woman to win it) and five-timebronze medallist at the Boxing CanadaNationals, to name a few.

Calla, whose grandfather was a boxerback in his day, started boxing in 2004 as away to cross-train with the goal of being afitness model, but once she got started, shecaught the boxing bug.

I lost my first two matches back-to-back and everybody was like, Oh maybethis isnt the sport for you, and I was like,Hell no, this is the sport forme. I am totally going to keepdoing it, she said, with ahardy laugh.

Calla said boxing is a greatsport for building confidence,something she lacked as ayoung girl who was some-times bullied.

Once I step through theropes, that is it. It is like myalter ego steps in and I am theboss, she said.

Her trainer is full of praise for the nowveteran boxer. (According to Calla, mostwomen box competitively until they arebetween 34 and 36 years old.)

Shes busy and she thinks, saidManuel Sobral, Callas trainer and a for-mer Olympic welterweight (1988 SummerOlympics in Seoul, South Korea). Shefeints, she moves around instead of juststaying in one spot all the time.

More than anything, Sobral said, whatmakes Calla a great boxer is her tenacity.

She sticks at it and she works hard.You have to go through the good and thebad times, he said.

Asked how shewill do in the 115-poundcategory in Ontario, Sobral answeredquickly, Shell win.

In spite of hermany years of dedication,training and personal achievements, sur-prisingly Calla said her proudest achieve-ment came ringside, last year.

A boxer I train by the name of RemyLavoie won the WesternCanadian Championships andwas voted top male boxer of2013, she said. Its great toshare the same enthusiasm Ihave for the sport [with] futureathletes.

Couzens was one of theyounger athletes Calla gaveher time and energy.

Calla was Couzens firstsparring partner, when he firstbegan boxing when he was 12

years old.Robert is like my little brother, she

said.Couzens, a middleweight boxer, is as

humble outside the ring as he is fierce init. He works by day as a youth programworker for the City of Burnaby and stud-ies criminology at Douglas College. (Hesaid he isnt sure what he wants to do oncehe graduates, but will keep working withyouth.)

Born and raised in Burnaby, Couzensis a recent Golden Gloves Champion(August 2014), four-time WBC CanadianSuper Middleweight Champion, and 2012

North Burnaby Boxing Club light-heavy-weight champion and those are just hismost recent accomplishments.

Even though he has enough victoriesto make the average person arrogant,Couzens isnt taking anything for grantedin his preparation for the Ontario boutwhere he will compete in the 160-poundcategory.

The training style I am doing now isgenerally working on all the angles thatI should be looking out for from all theplayers and just preparing for any stylethat I am going to encounter: big guys,small guys, fast, slower, counter-puncher,that kind of thing, he said.

Couzens, a Burnaby North Secondarygrad, started boxing 10 years ago, whenhis dad took him to a boxing club toencourage his pre-teen son to be morephysical. Couzens said he wasnt sure hewould like it, but after one session, likeCalla, he was hooked.

Since I started to now one thing thatattracts me is the glory of winning, itis really addicting, he said. The otherfactor [that attracts me] is learning newthings. I dont get frustrated easily, if I getsomething wrong I like to keep workingand working at it, until I get it. Theressatisfaction that I have finally worked atsomething so hard that I learned how todo it, and I am good at it now.

illustrate the natural ability his studenthas in the ring. Six months ago, a friendof Afloarei, who knew little about boxing,came to the gym.

Inside the ringwereRobert and anotherboxer from our club, they were doing shad-ow boxing, when my friend saw Roberthe asked me, Who is that guy, Mihai, heis a good [boxer]. Even though he is nota specialist, he recognized that Robert isvery technical, very hard working and verydedicated, said Afloarei.

Robert is the most beautiful, technicalguy in our gym.

Afloarei said between now and thechampionship, Couzens will be training sixdays a week to prepare. His dream is thatCouzens makes the Olympics one day.

Couzens isnt sure that will ever hap-pen, but knows no matter what the futureholds, he will be in the ring.

I will probably box as long as I canmove, he said. It is just a lifestyle now.

The World Boxing Council amateurCanadian championships, in Mississauga,run Oct. 15 to 18.


The St. Thomas More Collegiate (STM)Knights blanked Kelownas RutlandVoodoo 53-0 at home at Burnaby LakeSports Complex on Friday.

The win marks the second shutoutin a row for the Knights after beatingCoquitlams Centennial 42-0 at their home-coming game on Sept. 19.

One of the standouts of the game againstRutland was Terrell Jana who rushed for102 yards, including one touchdown run.His passing stats were 160-yards whichincluded three touchdowns.

Terrell is growing into his role as aquarterback this year, said STM headcoach Bernie Kully.

After the first quarter, the score was33-0.

It was a great first quarter for us as ateam today. We started strong and wereable to carry the momentum throughoutthe course of the game, said Kully.

The power of the Knights offence wasalso seen in the rushing touchdowns byAndrew Flett, Jordan Stewart, Matt Smigeland Shane Noel, who also got a receiving

touchdown.Running back J.J. DesLauriers also

wracked up two receiving touchdowns.Supporting the Knights offence were

Spencer Moore, who had 36 yards receiv-ing and Smigel with 44 yards.

By halftime, it was 39-0.Having eight different players score

touchdowns is a great team statistic. I wasvery happy with the play of our offensiveand defensive lines. They are key in termsof us creating opportunities for our ath-letes, added Kully.

Speaking of defence, Ben Steele hadfour tackles, which resulted in lost yardsfor the Voodoo. Steele also added threesacks. Moore had three tackles and threesacks. Kieran Janes had three tackles.

Having two shutouts in a row is acredit to the play of our defense. Especiallyour front seven who are at their best whenthey get some penetration, said Kully.
