When Burnaby teacher Geraldine Lazaruk and her sister visited Greece for a holiday this summer, their neighbours on the island of Kos came as a bit of a shock. Right beside their hotel, behind wire fencing, thousands of men, women and children escaping civil war in Syria had made a temporary home in an abandoned hotel. “Every day that we were there, we would see another group of maybe two to three hundred walking down the road to the camp from the water,” said Lazaruk, who teaches music at Marlborough Elementary. “There were people, I guess, staying in the rooms and then also just in makeshift tarps, lean-tos.There were children sleeping on plastic bags and cardboard with nothing over their heads, which was OK in the summer, but now it’s starting to rain ….There was garbage everywhere; there were women trying to wash clothes in mud puddles.” Other tourists on the island walked past the refugees as if they were invisible, Lazaruk said, but she and her Continued on page 5

Liberals mum on pipeline changes Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

What changes will the new Liberal government make to the National Energy Board, and how will they impact the Kinder Morgan pipeline? The public will have to wait for answers on this and other pipeline questions, as the Liberal government isn’t revealing any details yet. Jim Carr, the new Natural Resources Minister, held his first conference call with media Wednesday morning. Several reporters asked about plans to change the environmental and National Energy Board processes and how this would impact pipeline

projects, like Northern Gateway, Energy East and Kinder Morgan, but the minister could offer very little new information. When asked if TransCanada would have to reapply for an assessment for the Energy East pipeline, the minister reverted to talking points used in the election. “The first thing I wanted to say is we understand the importance of moving our resources to market, all part of developing our energy resources in a sustainable way,” he said. “We’re committed to a process that has the confidence of Canadians and we’re fully engaged in this issue with the government. I understand that any changes that we make to the process will have an effect on projects, I know that it’s important, and

we will be reviewing the situation, and we will be giving you the results as soon as we can.” The NOW had similar questions about the Kinder Morgan pipeline application, as the NEB’s deadline for a recommendation is just six months away.When asked if there would be any changes to the NEB or the Kinder Morgan file before the deadline, Carr replied, “We’re working on it, and we’ll be in a position to share the results as soon as we can.” When one reporter asked point blank if the Kinder Morgan file would go forward and what changes, exactly, were going to happen with the NEB, the minister said, “Yes, it is going ahead, and we will make

changes to the National Energy Board that are consistent with our platform commitments, mainly that it be more reflective of the diversity of the nation, that it incorporate into its thinking indigenous culture, which is very important, given the fact that partnerships with indigenous communities will be a welcome part, from my point of view, of the new way in which we go about developing new projects in Canada. I’m looking forward to that engagement, and we will begin to review the particular changes to the National Energy Board.” Carr spoke from France, while attending the International Energy Agency’s ministerial meeting, where representatives from 40 countries gather to discuss energy issues.

Precious memories stolen by thieves Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Allison Kong knew something was wrong when she and her husband and daughter arrived home around 7 p.m.Thursday, Nov. 12. Their house in Burnaby’s South Slope neighbourhood, typically left dark, was all lit up. While she and her 18-month-old daughter waited outside, her husband went in to investigate. Soon, Kong’s fears were confirmed – their home had been broken into. The thieves entered the house by prying open the basement suite door and then kicking down the door to the upstairs. “The good thing was they didn’t do too much damage.They didn’t take too many of the big items.They went for my laptop, a camera with all our honeymoon photos on it, and they took my husband’s power tools,” she said. The thieves then went into Kong’s bedroom and stole her jewelry, some cash, all her handbags, and a large art bag that contained her wedding album. But the most cherished item Kong lost that night was a small wooden box her older brother had made in Grade 8 and had given her before her wedding. “And he passed away two years ago, shortly after my wedding, so that is of significant value to me,” she told the NOW. The box has curled edg-

es and corners, shaped like a four-leaf clover. Inside were Kong’s baby photos, her daughter’s umbilical cord, the couple’s passports, more jewelry and some foreign cash. “Everything that was important to me, I just left in that box, and they just took the entire thing,” she said. The loss of this special box, made by her brother, has devastated Kong. Her brother was diagnosed with cancer shortly after Kong got married and he passed away a few months later. He was 31 years old.Two years later, her brother’s death is still fresh in her mind.

STOLEN: Allison

Kong holds a family photo from when she was young. This is one of the few photos of her brother that remain after her home was broken into on Nov. 12. The thieves stole her laptop, containing several videos of her brother before he passed away two years ago, and a decorative wooden box he had made and given to her before her wedding.

Everything that was important to me, I just left in that box. As if the theft of the box wasn’t enough, videos of Kong’s brother before he died were on the laptop the thieves took. “It was the first and last time my family went bowling together, and I was actually waiting for the right chance to show those videos to my parents,” she said, her voice breaking. “My brother was really healthy for my wedding, and then he was diagnosed with cancer and just passed away within two months’ time. He didn’t even have a chance to fight.We haven’t even finished the grieving process, and now they take

everything that is reminding us of him and it’s completely, completely worthless to them.” While Kong admits there’s not much chance the stolen items will be recovered, she’s still hopeful the laptop and box will be

found. Since the theft, she’s been scouring Craigslist for the laptop, which is an ASUS u35j. Kong filed a police report with Burnaby RCMP the night of the break-in, but so far, she hasn’t heard anything from the investigator.

In the meantime, she hopes by sharing her story someone might return the stolen items. “My laptop is password locked, so I’m just hoping maybe some of the videos could be recovered or that wooden box could be recov-

ered,” she said. Anyone who comes across the ASUS u35j laptop or the wooden box is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP and quote file number 2015-52309.

A decade later: City woman’s body identified Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

After more than eight years since a Burnaby woman disappeared, coroners have confirmed they’ve found her body. Monica Tam, whose birth name was Lan Ping Leung, was reported missing in February 2007 by a neighbour who grew concerned when she hadn’t seen Tam in a while. Despite calling on the public to help locate the missing 66-year-old, police were unable to find her. According to police at the time,Tam’s family members hadn’t seen her since November of 2006. It was in December of that same year, a lighthouse keeper with the Merry Island

lighthouse, a small island west of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast, discovered parts of a human skeleton on the island and reported them to police, according to a release from B.C. Coroners Service. Nearly one year later, more skeletal remains were found slightly inland of the first set, according to Laurel Clegg, manager for the B.C. Coroners Service’s Identification and Disaster Response Unit. For several years, the identity of the body remained unknown.The coroners service conducted an anthropological report, which involves a series of tests to determine things like gender and age of the remains. These tests help create a profile of the remains, which is used to determine the person’s identity.

It wasn’t until this summer, when the coroners service was notified the profile of the remains found on Merry Island fit that of a Burnaby woman who went missing eight years earlier – that woman was Tam. A DNA test later confirmed the remains were indeed those of Tam, and at this time, the investigation is ongoing. Because of the state of the remains it’s been difficult trying to determine cause of death, Clegg said. “It’s quite common in British Columbia,” Clegg said. “Because you’re around so many waterways, primarily, and we also have a lot of predators, so when you do find skeletal remains, you’re not always getting the full (skeleton). So in this case, there was not enough there to make a de-

terminant, but there was nothing there to indicate there was foul play.” And investigators with the Burnaby RCMP agreed. “At this time, the Burnaby RCMP do not believe foul play is suspected. However, if anyone has any further information about the disappearance of Tam back in 2006 please call the Burnaby RCMP missing person’s unit at 604-294-7922,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis wrote in an email to the NOW. Neither the Burnaby RCMP nor the B.C. Coroners Service could say how Tam’s body ended up at Merry Island.

HE’S MAKING A LIST

Team work: Music teacher volunteer Martin Nemcovsky accompanies Marlborough students in a drum song PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

‘It’s very powerful, the drum itself’ Continued from page 1 sister made contact. Meeting one of the women in the camp – a teacher – brought the tragedy home. “There were some of her children with her, with their little Hello Kitty backpacks, and that’s when it really hit us that these are just like our students at Marlborough,” Lazaruk said. There wasn’t much the sisters could do during their eight days on the island, but as soon as she was back at Marlborough, Lazaruk started working on a school fundraiser – a drum-a-thon. On Wednesday, Nov. 25, Marlborough hosts Rhythms for Life, a 12-hour drum marathon. Lazaruk has used her school’s African drums for good causes before, like raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation, but this time around the instruments carry an extra layer of significance for the local music teacher. “It’s very powerful, the drum itself,” she said. “It really brings a sense of community to the students, and there was also drumming every night in the camps.

Every night we would hear drumming going on.” Lazaruk’s students, who have collected drum-athon pledges for the last two weeks, will start drumming at 8 a.m.Wednesday and keep pounding away in shifts until 8 p.m. From 6 to 8 p.m., the public is invited to take in drumming performances and buy hot chocolate and baked goods at the Over the Rainbow café. Visitors can also shop at the Dreamland Store, a temporary gift shop featuring items donated by parents, students and staff. And, until Nov. 30, proceeds from the sale of Marlborough’s $10 Husky mascot stuffed toy will also go to the refugee project. Supporters who can’t make it to the school Wednesday can donate online at www.redcross.ca/ marlboroughrhythmsforlife. All proceeds from the event will go to the Red Cross and will be matched by the federal government. Donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt from the Red Cross.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

This is simply the right thing to do Canada’s commitment to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees should make us all proud. Will it be a completely smooth undertaking? Probably not. Change seldom is. But not only is it the right thing to do, it proves that we do learn from history’s lessons. Here on the West Coast we have not always acted with compassion where refugees are concerned. In 1914, the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru sailed

from Hong Kong to Vancouver carrying 376 passengers from Punjab, British India. Of them, 24 were admitted to Canada, but the other 352 other passengers were not allowed to land in Canada, and the ship was forced to return to India. The passengers consisted of 340 Sikhs, 24 Muslims and 12 Hindus, all British subjects.The reason for not allowing them onto Canadian soil? Exclusion laws of the time were designed to keep out immigrants of Asian or-

igin. And then, of course, there was the Chinese head tax – another stain on our history. It took more than 120 years for Canada to apologize for those actions and offer redress to the descendants of Chinese immigrants. On the eastern coast of Canada in 1939, 907 Jewish refugees aboard the German transatlantic liner St. Louis were escaping Nazi Germany.They sought refuge in Canada. Canada re-

fused to take them in and the ship sailed back to Europe, where 254 would later die in concentration camps. After the Second World War, Canada offered refugee status to Hungarians and Czechs as their liberties were under attack. And, then, of course, Canada offered a home to Vietnam War draft dodgers, Russian Mennonites,Vietnamese,Tibetans and Ugandans seeking refuge. Our country’s communities are richer for the mix of

life experiences, cultures, religions and ethnic diversity that refugees offer.The Syrians are no different from all of those other groups and many more that have come to Canada hoping for a better, safer life for themselves and their families. Whether your ancestors were fortunate enough to have money socked away to buy first-class boat or airplane tickets and be greeted with a good job when they landed in Canada, or whether they came with

nothing but the clothes on their backs and a dream, unless we are First Nations individuals, we are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants. There is not one among us who has not benefited by someone else’s kindness or this country’s policies of compassion and justice. Why would we not wish that for others and make it so if we can?

MY VIEW LAURA JONES

Want to help cut red tape? Government departments are fundamentally different from private businesses in that they do not face competition.There is no voting with your feet if you think that frontline staff are unfriendly or if forms are confusing. It’s a recipe for mediocrity or worse, unless other ways of pushing for better service can be found. In this context, elected officials soliciting our feedback about government service improvement is a substitute, albeit a grossly imperfect one, for competition. Provincial Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction Coralee Oakes is doing just that. She is looking for your help to identify the blizzard of little irritants that arise from interacting with government. The six-week consultation, which ends on Dec. 3, is part of the government’s broader effort to keep a lid on red tape while preserving justified regulation. It’s easy to contribute an idea on the website at: engage.gov.bc.ca/ helpcutredtape. This is not for show.The minister and her staff are taking this seriously, and we know they will be looking for things to announce on the recently legislated Red Tape Reduction Day in March and during Red Tape AwarenessWeek in January. The site now has over 100 comments and suggestions. Not surprisingly, there are many comments on the website about the challenges of dealing with the government electronically,

from not being able to save a PDF to not being able to report a personnel change for a charity’s board without declaring the former board member deceased. The consultation is the perfect place to raise any number of business issues too, such as this one:There is a rule requiring a truck driver who is also a temporary foreign worker to get a work permit before being issued a driver’s licence, while another rule requires the worker to get a driver’s licence before being issued a work permit. And while we are on the topic of driver’s licences, more than 1,000 British Columbians renew their licenses each day.What if we could do that once every 10 years instead of five? Think of the time that change alone would free up for everyone, including government employees. Broader issues for consideration include making sure government communication is intelligible, training staff to better understand the realities of the people they help, and ensuring auditors have appropriate incentives to behave professionally. Oakes has created an opportunity to take action on the small but important red tape issues that don’t grab headlines but do make differences in people’s lives. This consultation is well worth the minister’s time – and ours. Laura Jones is executive vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

Robbers get a shock Two would-be robbers got more than they bargained for at a convenience store in the 6300 block of McKay Street. After walking in, demanding money, pulling a knife and punching the owner in the face, the robbers were set upon by the owner’s 19-year-old son, who busted out of a back room swinging a baseball bat. He chased the robbers into a minivan, hitting them and smashing two of the vehicle’s windows before the van sped away.

Thanks a lot for the ‘legacy,’ Mr. Harper

Burnaby set to receive Syrian refugees

Dear Editor One of the legacies of the Harper government is a sexist judge. In Sept. 9, 2014 Alberta judge Robin Camp dismissed a sexual assault charge against a man who was alleged to have raped a homeless woman during a house party. The decision was overturned by the province’s Court of Appeal on Oct. 27 of this year on the grounds the judge not only did not understand the law governing sexual assaults, but displayed a propensity to voice sexual stereotypes and myths during the trial proceedings. A new trial has been ordered. The appeal hearing was still pending this past June when Judge Camp was elevated to the Federal Court by former Conservative Minister of Justice Peter MacKay. Presumably due diligence is performed prior to government appointments, patronage or not, so it would seem reasonable that an appeal against a sexual assault judgement should have been red-flagged. However, one reason it might have gone unnoticed was the rush by the Conservatives to fill almost 40 judicial vacancies before its mandate ended. It might have meant some shortcutting when it came to vetting. Or, perhaps, no vetting whatsoever. It makes you wonder just how many other “legacies” have been left us. Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

Congratulations to Trudeau and Liberals Dear Editor Congratulations to Terry Beech, Justin Trudeau, and all the Liberals on your huge success. I did not vote for you, because I wanted more than you promised, and the federal Liberals have a history of breaking their election promises. However, the early evidence indicates that the Justin Trudeau Liberals are very different from previous incarnations of the party. There are very good indications that they will, indeed, fulfil all their election promises. I’m only going to address two of the issues here. First, proportional representation. I don’t consider proportional representation to be an important issue, but many Canadians do. Proportional representation would give us a more democratic form of government, and a modern electoral system. Hopefully, it will lead to greater participation by the citizens in the political process. The really big issue, of course, is global warming. This does not affect Canadians as directly as having a functioning economy, but it is nevertheless the critical issue that must be dealt with right now, or all the other issues won’t matter. However, it needs to be understood that dealing with global warming does not prevent us from having a functioning economy, as the Harperites would claim. Dealing with global warming right now may be expensive, but probably far less expensive than most people realize, and definitely far less expensive than not dealing with it. Justin Trudeau stands on the threshold of a great opportunity. Give us proportional representation, Justin, and that may be enough to allow us to deal with all the internal matters, even if you don’t. But give us strong action on global warming, and history may judge you as being the best Prime Minister Canada has ever had. Victor Finberg, Burnaby

John Weng What about Canadian veterans and seniors neglected and forgotten? Icntf CI I heard there’s so many empty condos in Downtown, thanks to the same government... Yi Li Greater Vancouver is too crowded to bring in Syrian refugees. And they can’t afford living in this area anyway. Settle them in northeast, just as what Clark suggested a few days ago. Roger Bourdages Maybe Corrigan wants you to evict your family or other tenants out and bring in the refugees instead! Maybe he should open up his own home! Peter Dickinson-Starkey Vacancy rate in Burnaby is zero. Please explain exactly where they will reside ? High rents and virtually no jobs, available? Rick McGowan This would be a good opportunity for the Mayor to leverage the 20 million plus dollars in density bonuses earmarked for affordable housing collected in Metrotown. A three way partnership can turn it into $60 million. Ideally, it would be spent in Metrotown where the money was derived and where the City has sanctioned the demovictions of so many low and moderate income residents. Keith Doesn’t it makes more sense to settle refugees in larger cities are there are more resource available to them? Spreading these people out in smaller communities that have fewer resources creates even more strain and hardship. Cities throughout Canada are opening their arms to help these refugee families and to provide them with a safe and secure place to live and raise their children. Burnaby should be no different. I sincerely hope our mayor will put behind his petty politics and see this not as matter of federal, provincial or municipal politics but a matter of human compassion. Ariane Eckardt there is no crisis here for the refugees. They are all in camps where they are safe and well looked after. The Federal Government should make sure that they are vetted on location before bringing them to Canada. If one terrorist slips through it is one too many. bill smith Liberals made this 25,000 promise for political reasons and Corrigan is opposing it also for political reasons... however, everyone should remember this article, this is the first time that I know of Corrigan has admitted and acknowledged that there are homeless people in Burnaby. Kisai Ha.... what vacancies. I thought these supposed “foreign investor” luxury condos going up everywhere around Metrotown are supposed to be occupied.

Road still closed for sinkhole repair project Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It will be at least another week before traffic is allowed to flow on Production Way following the repair of a sinkhole. City officials confirmed Thursday repairs to a sinkhole on ProductionWay between Broadway and East Lake will take another week. James Lota, an assistant engineering director with the City of Burnaby, said if all goes well the road will be opened by late next week. He explained crews had to replace the storm sewer pipe that runs the entire width of the road. City crews were called to the section of road on Nov. 13 after a large sinkhole appeared in several spots. One three-foot-deep hole swallowed the back wheels of an articulated bus along the stretch of road.The road was shut down as a safety precaution. An investigation deter-

mined that heavy rains that day “overwhelmed” the drainage system leading to the sinkhole. The city also suggested the situation could be related to the windstorm from August, which blew debris into creek beds and now the rains are washing that debris into culverts. It also appears drivers have adjusted to the road closure, with Lota noting the city has not received many traffic complaints.

“Traffic’s been moving pretty well, considering,” he told the NOW. Transit routes have also been altered.The 145 route is detoured from the ProductionWay station over to Lougheed Highway and GaglardiWay and continue to SFU, while the 136 is detoured from Broadway to Gaglardi, Lougheed and then back on to ProductionWay avoiding the sinkhole area.

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on November 20th 2015 to December 23rd 2015. This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discolored after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap.

Newsnow Seeking autism answers at SFU

Answers: SFU researcher Sam Doesburg is preparing to put a number of existing autism treatments and therapies to the test using a cutting-edge imaging lab being installed at Surrey Memorial Hospital. He’ll start with hyperbaric oxygen therapy using the hyperbaric chamber at SFU’s Burnaby Mountain campus.

Researcher delving into whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Children with autism will soon be travelling up Burnaby Mountain to help test whether sessions in a highpressure, oxygen-saturated chamber can change their brains and behaviour for the better. Called hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the treatment has been around for years.

There’s a whole lot of anecdotal evidence Some families with autistic children say it helps, but not all doctors are convinced there’s enough scientific evidence to prove it works. Simon Fraser University researcher Sam Doesburg plans to do away with the guesswork. A neuroscientist and expert in magnetoencephalographic (MEG) brain imaging, Doesburg is the first holder of the SFU Callum Frost Professorship in Translational Research in Autism. “There’s a whole lot of anecdotal evidence that

(hyperbaric oxygen therapy) works, and there have been some studies, but a lot of them don’t have proper controls and they don’t have proper placebo,” Doesburg told the NOW. “There hasn’t really been the kind of study that will lead to solid information for parents but also information that’s going to be suitable for clinicians, like physicians who are involved in the clinical care and policy makers to make decisions about these types of treatments.” Doesburg started at SFU in September and is still in the planning stages of the study. But come spring, he said, about 24 kids between the ages of about six to 10 will head up to SFU’s Burnaby campus for about 15 one-hour sessions in the university’s hyperbaric chamber. The increased pressure and pure oxygen in the chamber drives extra oxygen into the brain cells of participants, and that has been reported to lessen the symptoms of autism. Doesburg will put those reports to the test with a battery of behaviour tests and brain scans before and after the treatment. “If it’s a home run and hyperbaric oxygenation Continued on page 10

City now SFU researcher looks at autism Continued from page 9 makes a big change in the brain and it improves the behaviour of many people with autism, then we can provide that evidence to parents, we can provide that evidence to clinicians and we can provide that evidence to policymakers that maybe this is something that should be done.” The key to Doesburg’s study is the brand new, SFU-led ImageTech Lab currently being installed at Surrey Memorial Hospital. “It’ll be the only place in Canada west of Toronto, basically, that has a researchdedicated MRI scanner and a research dedicated MEG scanner, which is really the winning combination for this kind of research, where you’re trying to see if a particular treatment can make a real change in functional brain activity.” Using the lab, Doesburg plans to conduct a series of studies, testing the effectiveness of a range of autism treatments, including applied behavioural analysis

and changes to diet. He said the research – funded by Surrey’s Central City Brewing and Distillery president Darryll Frost and his wife, Lee, whose son Callum has a type of autism – will fill a growing gap in autism research. “The prevalence of autism has exploded in recent decades,” he said. “What that has done is it’s fueled the invention or the implementation of many many therapies for autism.What hasn’t really kept pace with that is the scientific study to figure out what is really most effective and what’s most effective for specific people with autism.” Interest in the hyperbaric study has already taken off, even though Doesburg has yet to put out an official call for participants. “I’m getting phone calls all the time and emails all the time.The hyperbaric lab up at SFU is getting emails all the time and phone calls all the time, so we’ve already got a big running list.”

The mountain air

Conducting part of his upcoming autism study on a mountain will give SFU researcher Sam Doesburg an advantage. When the kids in his study enter the hyperbaric chamber at the Environmental Medicine and Physiology Unit at SFU’s Burnaby campus, they’ll have travelled up a mountain to get there. For the study, one group will breathe normal air and have the pressure increased back to what they experience at sea level, but another group will breathe pure oxygen and have the pressure increased to levels they would only experience deep under water or underground. Both groups will feel their ears popping, but only one will be getting hyperbaric oxygen therapy. “It allows us to effectively deliver a true sham or placebo treatment of sea-level air,” said Sherri Ferguson, director of the unit. Both groups will experience both the treatment and the placebo during the study.

People now IN MEMORIAM

Ardell Brophy May 2, 1956 – Oct. 27, 2015 COMEDIAN, UNION ACTIVIST

In 2010, when Ardell Brophy stepped on stage to claim herYWCA Women of Distinction award, the pulmonary fibrosis was well underway. She wheeled her oxygen concentrator behind her, with its thin, clear tube feeding air into her nostrils. “Does this oxygen tank make me look fat?” she asked. Laugher, applause – that was Brophy, best known for her work as a union activist, NDP supporter and comedienne extraordinaire. Brophy died on Oct. 27 after several years of living with pulmonary fibrosis. She got her start in comedy in 1988, when a friend dragged her out to an open mike night. Brophy was afraid of bombing, so she used a stage name – Ardell

The ultimate honour was to be told you’re a card-carrying Laff Riot Girl now.

Fitzpatrick. From the first laugh, she was hooked. “You’re funny,” she was told, “but we already have one female comic.” The sexism was frustrating, Brophy told the NOW in 2010, but she persevered and in 1997 started the Laff Riot Girls, an all-female comedy collective that often performed at Lafflines Comedy Club in New Westminster. She also organized B.C. Funniest New Female Comic, an annual competition for new female talent, and through both mentored hundreds of female comics (and some men), giving them the space, encouragement and coaching to perform.

When people thought upcoming comedian Tanyalee Davis, a woman with dwarfism, wasn’t strong enough to headline, Brophy said, “Fine. I’ll book the club, I’ll produce the shows … and she’ll headline my show.” Davis filled the room and received a standing ovation; she now performs on the international circuit. “(Brophy) absolutely carved out a space that didn’t exist before,” said ex-wife and fellow comedian Lee Ann Keple. “It goes back to her social justice roots. It allowed for a space of fairness, that someone was seeing you fairly. It gave you a chance. … She provided a home. She really did give us all that safe place to grow.” That space promoted women, people with disabilities and mental illnesses, and folks from the LGBT community. (Brophy herself had come out on stage in the 1990s as a self-proclaimed “lipstick lesbian.”) She built a dedicated audience. Keple and Brophy were married for 13 years, with Keple handling the marketing and business side of the Laff Riot Girls. “It was such a great space,” Keple said. “The ultimate honour was to be told:You’re a card-carrying Laff Riot Girl now. It was kind of like being knighted.” UNION WORK Comedy wasn’t the only thing Brophy was famous for. She was also a longtime union activist who worked with the Hastings racetrack and ICBC before she got a job as a representative with COPE 378, which recently changed its name to MoveUP. She was also vice-president of United Steelworkers Local 2009, which represents staff at MoveUP. MoveUP president David Black said Brophy was one of the most compassionate

people he’s ever met. “She was a force,” said Black, recalling how Brophy was helping a young woman who had gotten into trouble at work because of something her boyfriend had done. Brophy helped with the workplace problem and with what Black described

as an unhealthy relationship. “She wanted to help people. She wasn’t just worried what their problems were at work; she wanted to help them in their life,” he said. POLITICAL VOLUNTEER Brophy was also a dedicated New Democrat. She

was involved with the party’s Burnaby North constituency association and helped the Burnaby Citizens Association with leafletting, door-knocking, fundraising, you name it. She encouraged others to get out and vote, and in May 2013, while in hospi-

Communitynow Brophy was a ‘real spitfire’ Continued from page 11 Mayor Derek Corrigan. Both Black and Corrigan commented on Brophy’s perseverance in the face of adversity. “Ardell was really quite impressive,” Corrigan said. “She just didn’t let it stop here. She just kept going and going and going, despite those physical challenges.” HELPING WOMEN IN RECOVERY Brophy also sat on the board of directors of Burnaby’s Charlford House, a 15-bed post-detox home for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. Brophy had a drinking problem herself and sobered up in the late ‘80s, something she spoke about candidly in her comedy routines. At Charlford, she used her community connections and fundraising skills to help the home and was named a Charlford Angel, a distinction held by only three people. Miranda Vecchio, the society’s executive director,

described Brophy as a “real spitfire,” determined to help despite her failing health. One year, Brophy was set to MC a fundraiser but collapsed. As the paramedics took her out on a stretcher, Brophy raised her head

She was such a strong woman. ... She fought back every time.

and said, “Dig deep people, spend lots of money.” “That was just her fighting spirit wanting the most from people and the best from people and willing to give that herself,”Vecchio said. “Her body betrayed her so badly, but her spirit just said, ‘No, you’re not going to get me that easily.’ … She fought completely all the way.That never died, and it never will.” On Aug. 4, 2012, Brophy went into hospital for a double-lung transplant.

The transplant was a success, but there were just too many complications and her health deteriorated. She spent her last years in various forms of care, eventually moving to Kelowna to be closer to her brother. She passed away there on Oct. 27. “She was such a strong woman,” Keple said, “any normal mortal would have been felled six, 12, 16 times. She fought back every time. It was such BS after all that fighting. It just wasn’t possible to get to a stage where she could live independently.” “The woman is a legend. It was a lot of fun to be along for a lot of that ride, because they don’t make ‘em like her,” Keple said. MEMORIAL There will be a celebration of Brophy’s life on Sunday, Nov. 22, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Confederation Community Centre, in the banquet hall, at 4585 Albert St. People can donate to Charlford House in lieu of flowers.

Miles is ready to go the long run with you! He was recently surrendered when the other resident dog was picking on him. Miles is a very sweet, big bouncy boy that be a bit nervous of new people. He quickly warms up and comes on STRONG! Only strong, fit guardians please as this big boy is powerful and lacks some manners. He can jump up and be quite excitable, he would benefit strongly from an active guardian who loves to go on daily hikes. Miles is very typical to the breed, SUPER AFFECTIONATE, you must love kisses. Miles may or may not be suitable with live with another dog, he has walked well with other shelter dogs with slow introductions. He can get quite aroused and may mount other dogs in excitement. Miles is a big fan of being with his people all the time, an owner with a flexible schedule is ideal. He may feel anxious initially in his new home. Miles is best suited to teens, no young children please. Miles is a high energy boy looking for an equally active guardian!

Mia is an incredibly special girl who arrived in our care as result of an investigation. She is quite fearful of new people and will require a guardian with experience with fearful behaviour. Mia does very well meeting new people if introductions are slow and she is offered delicious treats to build a positive experience. This gentle girl requires entropion surgery to correct her eyelashes that growing directly into her eyes. This will be done prior to adoption. Once Mia knows she is an absolute sweetheart, she adores being pet and pampered and loves her people. Even at six she is very playful and often gets quite silly and play bounces at you. She loves when you play bounce back and then she does her crazy zoomies with a big grin on her face! Mia has an extremely high prey drive and is not suitable to live with small dogs, cats or small animals. Due to her strong prey drive Mia should always be walked on a leash. Mia is best suited to an adult only home in house oppose to apartment living. Mia is an absolute staff favourite as she loves her routine and is very well behaved and listens great. Come give our big girl a chance!

This darling little 3 1/2 year old is very demanding of attention and is not willing to share it with any other pets.

In order to get rid of fleas on a pet, strong yet safe anti-parasitic treatments are required along with environmental and laundry cleaning for a period of weeks to months. Environmental cleaning helps decrease the numbers of flea eggs and larval stages that habitually live in homes of pets with fleas. Aggressive and persistent flea control will ensure that these robust little bugs do not linger in your pets’ environment. The best way to deal with fleas is to prevent them from becoming a problem! Year round flea control for all pets, including during the winter time, is something all pets should receive. Caution: Some flea treatments available for pets may be toxic to your pet. Always consult with your veterinarian regarding appropriate products, in order to ensure your pets’ health.

Meet Tiger, a handsome, chubby brown tabby boy with a generous heart. Tiger is incredibly sweet and affectionate. He loves to have belly rubs and cuddles in bed. Unfortunately he had urinary crystals that were left untreated and this caused him to miss his litter box. Now he is on the right diet and is doing really well. He is looking for a pet free home to be spoiled in! Tiger will require a home on the quieter side with no little humans.

Preventing fleas from gaining access to your house through your pet is generally straightforward, as many safe and effective flea control products are available in pill form and in the form of topical drops applied on your pets’ back. It is a whole other story once fleas gain access to our warm, comfortable homes. Fleas are very hardy, as they do not need a constant source of feeding on animal blood. Their eggs and larvae can survive for months even without the presence of an animal to feed on. To compound matters, fleas are not easy to find on pets. If you cannot find fleas

on an itchy cat or dog, the pet could still be suffering from flea bites and even from an allergy to flea bites.

Burnwood Dr

Everyone dreads and dislikes fleas! These little parasites of pets, which go by the scientific name Ctenocephalides canis (or Ctenocephalides felis), are a common source of dismay to pet owners and pets themselves. To make matters worse, fleas can live in our climate year round as we don’t really have a “flea season” like colder places do. Going by my experience of treating pets with flea problems, pets suffer from more flea infestations and related problems during our colder months because of the decreased flea control by pet owners.

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom-fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom-fit solution.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Inaugural beer fest helps a good cause

Burnaby’s first beer fest was a hit with the craft brewery crowd, and the organization behind it all plans on hosting another event next year. Burnaby Community Services hosted the fundraising festival on Friday, Nov. 13 at Spacekraft, close to Metrotown.The event was the first of its kind in Burnaby, showcasing samples from 12 craft breweries, including Dageraad, Steel & Oak and Main Street Brewing Company. Tickets were $35, and patrons paid $2 per beer sample. There was also live music and guest beer expert Rebecca Whyman. The festival was a departure from the organization’s more formal fundraising gala, but executive director Stephen D’Souza wanted to try something different to

draw a new crowd of supporters. “For a first-time event, it had great support from the community,” D’Souza said. “I think everyone had a really great time and (there was) a lot excitement about doing it again. I think we can’t ask for more than that.”

D’Souza’s fundraising goal was to break even. He estimated the festival pulled in about $20,000 but after expenses only cleared about $2,000, but he’s still happy with the results. The local non-profit facilitates the Christmas Bureau and the meals-on-wheels program for seniors.

Challenger SRT

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

There’s no denying that this car has presence like few other vehicles

With almost any other vehicle, new would be considered improved. However, where the Dodge Challenger is concerned, you really hope they don’t change too much about it. If you think of the current domestic pony-car line-up as being a bit like Riverdale, then the Mustang is Archie, the newly designed Camaro is Reggie, and the Challenger is Moose. It’s big, it’s not very bright, but dang does it pack a wallop. The other two rear-drive, V8-powered machines from the big three have developed into legitimate sportscars, with track-bred specials made as much for tackling corners as for the straight-line dash. The Challenger, on the other hand, has a pair of horns for a halo model with the ridiculous 707hp (!) Hellcat, and is decidedly old school in its purpose. This is a proper muscle car, the last of its breed, really. Here, it comes with the 6.4L V8 of the Scat Pack and a manual transmission. It’s big, it’s scarlet, it growls. Basically, it’s the car version of Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Design:

The Challenger first burst onto the scene several years ago, and of all the retro-styled machines available at the time, it easily looked the best. Last year’s styling tweaks furrowed the big car’s brows lower over its quad headlights and tucked everything lower. If you park the new Challenger in the vicinity of one of the originals, you can see where the retro design hasn’t quite captured the sheer aircraft-carrier dimensions of the 1970s version. The problem is mostly the height of the new one, which detracts from its width, especially out back. However, drive the Challenger around in modern

traffic, and there’s no denying that this thing has presence like few other vehicles.

loaded muscle car experience, then the full SRT392 package gives you a host of luxury features to go with a bigger engine.

Environment:

Alternatively, you can go with this Scat Pack variant, which might be the sweet spot in the range. It adds the largest 6.4L Hemi V8, upgraded wheels, tires and brakes, and you even get a few old-school SuperBee badges.

While nominally a four-seater, the Challenger’s rear buckets are a tad on the small side. Getting a child seat fitted was a bit of a squeeze, even with those refrigerator-long doors. The rest of the Challenger’s interior benefitted from the same upgrades its four-door Charger cousin received last year. The overall look manages to be both as retro as the exterior, yet at the same time very functional for the modern age. The seats have a surprising amount of lateral bolstering, and with a red suede finish, you won’t slide around in them much. There’s far more space in here than you’d get in a Corvette, but despite the large size of the Challenger’s exterior, the interior volume isn’t particularly vast. Chrysler’s Uconnect system remains one of the easiest infotainment systems to use, particularly the voice command system. This latter allows you to be a bit lazy about how you enter commands, so tuning to a radio station doesn’t require speaking the exact pass phrase. However, if you’d prefer not to use touchscreen or voice commands, then the Challenger comes with some good old fashioned goodies like actual knobs for tuning and volume. And never mind the radio and stereo performance, because there’s 6.4L of V8 orchestra just ahead.

Performance:

Some folks will miss the pistol-grip shifter of the previous manual transmission, but those who opt for the automatic will get a great muscle car experience. Now fitted with an eight-speed auto, the Challenger actually gets decent highway mileage in all its trims, and even the fire-breathing Hellcat can have its thirst reined in if you’re gently cruising. While slightly overshadowed by the supercharged insanity of the Hellcat, the normally-aspirated Challengers are all still plenty fierce. If you like the rumble, then the 5.7L option is a great entry-level way to go; if you prefer a more fully-

Driving this big horse hard takes absolutely no finesse whatsoever. The Mustang and the Camaro prefer the backroad waltz, and they’re set up to appeal to the type of driver who regularly throws a helmet in the trunk for track day practice. The Challenger is for the dude or dudette who always faintly smells of burnt rubber, and who has the satellite radio permanently glued to 1970s rock. It actually corners surprisingly well, thanks to the sheer grip of sticky rubber – while rapid transitions can upset the Challenger, sweeping constant-radius turns are a strength. The real strength, however, is flicking the traction control to sport mode and getting on the throttle a little early out of the turn. Clifford, as it turns out, just loves to wag his tail, and with that land yacht wheelbase, he does so in a friendly manner. The Shaker hood wobbles away, and the engine roars, and the gearshift goes *clonk* into third, and the nose lifts like a passenger aircraft approaching liftoff. Best of all, all these antics happen at relatively approachable speeds, so while the ‘Stang and the Camaro squabble it out over Nürburgring lap times, the Challenger is just about having fun.

Features:

Official fuel economy figures for the largest 6.4L V8 are 9.3L/100kms on the highway for manualequipped cars, and 14.8L/100kms in the city. That ain’t great, but it’s not exactly supposed to be a fuelsipper of a machine. While the fun of the manual has to be recommended, I’ll point out that the automatic loses little of the experience, and has a couple of extra-tall top gears for maximum highway cruising efficiency.

Green Light:

V8 power; V8 rumble; V8 everything; classic looks inside and out; solid infotainment

Stop Sign:

Not as roomy on the inside as you’d think; so-so visibility; could use slightly bigger brakes

The Checkered Flag: Big, friendly, fast, and fun.

Dispelling common myths about diabetes HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. So raise your awareness of this common condition by correcting these five common myths. Myth #1: I don’t need to worry about diabetes. Diabetes is a very common condition.The prevalence of diabetes in adults over age 20 is 1 in 11, and the incidence of diabetes is expected to increase as the population ages, becomes less active and more obese. There’s a good chance that you – or someone that you care about – will develop diabetes. Myth #2: Diabetes is all about sugar. Diabetes is a problem with metabolism – how your body converts food into energy. Because glucose is a source of energy for every cell in the body, diabetes has potential effects on multiple organ systems, including the nervous and circulatory systems. Poorly controlled diabetes is a major cause of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, amputations and blind-

ness. A person who has had diabetes for several years is considered by physicians to have the same risk of a heart attack as someone who has established vascular disease. Poorly controlled diabetes is a common cause of erectile dysfunction. More bad news:Viagra doesn’t work as well for people with diabetes.

Myth #3: Diabetes is caused by being overweight or eating too much sugar. There are two types of diabetes.Type 1 is insulin-dependent. For some reason, usually related to the immune system, the pancreas no longer produces sufficient insulin.Therefore, type 1 diabetes requires insulin injections or infusions. Ninety per cent of diabetes is type 2 or insulin-resistant.This is commonly a hereditary condition. As you grow older or gain weight, your cells may become more resistant to the effects of your body’s own insulin. You become glucose intolerant, and carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta and potatoes cause a greater rise in your blood sugars than they normally should. Not everyone who is overweight or drinks a lot of pop will develop diabetes, but if

you have the genes for type 2 diabetes, gaining weight, getting older and consuming excessive sugar will allow diabetes to manifest.

Myth #5: Everyone with diabetes will get complications. With the careful management of diabetes, most of the complications of diabetes can be avoided.This requires optimal self-management in which individuals are given the support and education they need to be effective managers of their own health. I’ll be giving a public presentation on WhatYou Should Know About Diabetes at the Bonsor Recreation Complex at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25.You’ll

range. Most people with type 2 diabetes do not require insulin with the onset of their condition so they usually do not have the same need for multiple daily glucose testing.There are a variety of oral medications to control type 2 diabetes.Two essentials are regular exercise and smaller, more frequent meals with low glycemic index foods (carbohydrates that do not cause a sharp rise in blood sugars). If blood sugars continue to rise, insulin may be needed.

Myth #4:All diabetics have to take insulin and check their blood sugars many times each day. People with type 1 diabetes – because they do not produce enough natural insulin – are dependent on insulin injections or infusions.They have to monitor their blood sugars regularly throughout the day to keep their glucose levels in a safe Offers valid until November 30, 2015.

One of the aspects of the food and wine industry that I have realized over the years of my career as a chef is that people can be so serious. Yes, I take pride in what I do and I think that the role

I play in the industry has an impact on people’s lives, but why am I expected to have a heavy weighted approach in discussions regarding food and drink? Many of you probably agree that there are numerous people in the food industry, that we may label as foodies, who come across as pompous or even pretentious.

This is perhaps why it is presumably expected for others to be the same way. Don’t get me wrong – I believe it is a wonderful thing when someone loves what they do, even to the point where their lives are utterly consumed with related passion, but why must we take such a rigid approach? Yes, there are rules in cooking, and many are

steadfast, but I am talking more about the areas where approaches are not as strict and could very easily be bent based on personal preferences and taste. For example, I am sure you have heard the statement that “mediumrare” is the optimal doneness for cooking a beef steak … but what happens when someone likes

their steak more done? Or when a person does not like their pasta cooked al dente (Italian for “to the tooth,” meaning not to overcook; it should have some firmness)? Is it our role as chefs to tell that person that they

are wrong? Or when someone enjoys a riesling wine paired with their meal when a sommelier believes that is completely incorrect and only an oily viognier is the way to go? Continued on page 30

Communitynow Relax and enjoy: Yes, there are food rules, but there’s also personal taste. Sometimes, Chef Dez says, the best way to cook a steak is the way you like to eat it – and the best wine pairing for a meal is the one you like the most. PHOTOS THINKSTOCK

Lighten up on food rules Continued from page 29 Or should condemnation be delivered to one that enjoys ice in their single malt scotch? Where is the line where the steadfast rules and training stop and where personal taste and preferences start? Where that line is and the boldness of that line varies in many circumstances, but it does exist, and I believe as an industry expert that it cannot be ignored, or overruled, just for the sole reason that we are professionally trained. I remember working with a chef in my training days who told me: “An individual of the general public has personal preference and taste buds that cannot be ignored. We must not only learn from them but also learn to accept their perspectives as a part of our ongoing training and fine-tuning

of our careers as chefs. Everyone has an opinion and is a unique individual and should be respected as such.” Wise words well said that I have shaped my career around. I am a fully certified Red Seal Chef, but to me my trades paper is just that: paper. I see myself more as a chef for the home cook. A chef for the majority of the households filled with all classes of people, with or without families, that are looking for great meals that are not constructed from obscure ingredients. Meals that are not paired with unfamiliar varieties of wine. If you love food and love to cook, regardless of whether you are professionally trained or not, you are a chef in my eyes. Does that mean I don’t respect, appreciate or value my certification as a chef,

or other professionals in the industry? Of course not. It means that I can find importance with what we have and at the same time be open enough to appreciate and respect others and their opinions. Opinions are like taste buds – everybody has them. So in closing, in what I hope does not seem like a rant, I welcome you with open arms to share your food experiences with me. No guard must be erected. Let us talk, taste, discuss, sip and share passion for the nurturement that keeps us alive and keeps our lives exciting and fulfilling. Let us eat, drink, and be merry.

How can I spice up a boring exercise routine? Shaun Karp

KEEPING FIT

editorial@burnabynow.com

Question: I’m bored of my hamstring routine, how can I spice it up? Answer: Sometimes performing the exact same exercises every leg workout can get boring and leave us feeling rather uninspired, and with the limited options available for our hamstrings, this can be even more evident. Leg curls are a very common hamstring exercise, and these machines are found in most fitness clubs. Here is a great twist on this classic movement – it’s called 21s. Most lying leg curl machines require you to be face-down on the machine with your feet positioned behind the foot pad, which will rest just above the ankles. If there are handles on the machine, hold onto them for extra stability while you perform the exercise. It is important to keep your hips down so that you do not put unnecessary pressure onto your lower back. Once you are in this position, perform seven “bottom half” leg curls just coming halfway up and then returning to the starting position. Once these are complete, then perform seven more “top half” leg curls all the way up and just half way down. Once the first two movements are complete, then proceed to perform seven more full range hamstring curls all the way up and down. This combination will give you a deep hamstring workout that you may feel the next day. Start with a lighter weight and progress at a comfortable pace; it is great if you can progress to performing two or three sets of this combination. Try to be a little explosive on the way up, but be sure to lower the weight in a slow and controlled manner. If the lying leg curl machine is busy, you can also opt for the seated or standing leg curl machines. Question: Why is it beneficial to track workouts? Answer: It is a good idea to record your workouts so that you can monitor your progress – and so that you can determine what is working. A good starting point might

be to use a pedometer to count your daily steps.You might also want to record the weight, sets and repetitions that you perform with each exercise. When you are ready to elevate your fitness even more, you can then think about using a heart rate

monitor to help you understand how hard your heart is working. For instance, if you perform 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise and your heart rate beats at an average of 135 beats per minute (BPM), and then a month later your heart only elevates to 125 BPM for

the same activity, then you know your heart has gotten stronger.This information is important because it will help you determine when you should be upping the intensity of your exercise. By recording your workouts, you can also increase variability. A variety of ex-

ercises will help to prevent psychological burnout and physical adaptation. This should then create better overall results, as repetitive and unvaried training programs often lead to plateaus. Recording your workouts is not only applicable for

those of you who workout in a gym. It is also great for monitoring your running, hiking, swimming and other activities! Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer in Burnaby. For further information call 604-420-7800 or visit www. karpfitness.com.

Moscrop digs to a B.C. goal Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

With a district crown tucked into their back pocket, the Moscrop Panthers senior girls volleyball team is eager to move on up. Capturing a berth to the provincials with a top-three finish at this weekend’s Lower Mainland tournament in North Vancouver would fit the bill perfectly. “The ultimate goal has been to earn a berth in the provincials,” said Panthers coach Lydia Law in an email to the NOW. “Our plan has been to be first in the District and place (top-three) in the Lower Mainlands.We will face some tougher competition (there), including B.C. No.1-ranked Handsworth.” Every exercise, each point along the journey so far has been with that goal in mind. In the district final, Moscrop topped Burnaby Mountain 3-0, but the margin narrowed each subsequent set: 25-16, 25-20 and 27-25. In the final set and without starting leftside hitter Isabelle Cheung, the Panthers trailed by seven points.They went on a 12-4 run that put them in the lead, but Mountain matched each Moscrop point down the stretch.The decisive point was delivered by the skilled blocking of Katherine Fong and Raeanne Sun. Cheung was lost for the whole match due to a sudden leg cramp. Libero Mari Wong and Sun stepped up as leaders, earning tournament allstar awards in the process. Finishing sixth at last year’s provincials has been a guiding point for the four returning seniors. Getting a chance to better that, despite many new faces – including one Grade 10 – has been a driving force. Some success on the tournament circuit helped with the bonding process. “(The last tournament) was a turning point for the group as they were able to work through critical moments in their court play through trust, communication and support by each team member,” Law said. The key leadership roles fall on the shoulders of setter Emi Wong, Cheung and Sun. “Isabelle is our team captain and the ‘big gun’ in our offense and a consistent part of our solid defense,” noted the coach. The Lower Mainlands began yesterday and wrap up Saturday in North Van.

UBC midfielder caps final journey Burnaby product ends university playing career with a national championship title

The expression on her face says it all. In a photo snapped virtually at the final whistle last Thursday, Burnaby’s Kym van Duynhoven shouted in celebration of a rare goal that guaranteed her team another game at the Canadian Interuniversity Sports women’s soccer championships. It wouldn’t be the last time the 5-foot-8 midfielder would celebrate last weekend. She was a key contributor in the University of B.C.Thunderbirds’ championship march, concluding Sunday with a polished 3-0 triumph over archrival Trinity Western University in Vancouver that delivered the Gladys Bean Memorial Trophy. Capping her university playing career, van Duynhoven embraced the completeness of the past week, where the host Thunderbirds reigned despite a lot of obstacles.

“We were extremely excited gowinner on track for a medal.The ing in (to the final), especially goT-birds would follow that up by ing up against Trinity Western,” said blanking Sherbrooke in the semivan Duynhoven. “We played them final before staking out the pitch three times this year, so we had a against Trinity.

to the final) as the goal for us; it wasn’t enough just to be hosts,” she said. “We wanted to win it.” Her personal route has seen her overcome injury and disappointment to reach this point. As a sophomore she suffered a knee injury but played through it and had surgery at the end of the season.Through the hard work and knowledgeable support of the training staff, she overcame various knocks to stay on the field. “It’s been a real journey,” she said of her four years as a UBC midfielder. “There have been ups and downs but I couldn’t ask for a better way to end my career.” It’s influenced her direction in the future, as well. She is studying kinesiology with an eye on a career in physiotherapy. Van Duynhoven was also voted to the tournament all-star team, joining teammates Olivia de Goede, Krista Whittaker and Shannik. “I wasn’t expecting it at all. I can’t think of a better way to end my soccer here.”

More still winning

The St.Thomas More girls volleyball team hopes to extend its perfect string a little longer. The junior AA squad won its league final last week, beating Little Flower Academy 2-0 (2513, 25-17) and now heads into the B.C.s with an unblemished record. Led by Grade 10 Vanessa Gatto, the club added to the roll it built through a seamless regular season. Gatto, an outside hitter, was picked player of the match. Now the focus turns to Seaquam, which hosts the junior provincials Nov. 27 and 28. The Delta school has already been the scene of an impressive effort, and coach Alicia Catalano hopes two times is a charm. “I think winning the Seaquam final against Pacific Academy (21) meant the most to the girls because it was the first tournament of the year and going undefeated really set the tone for the rest of the season,” said Catalano in an email.

“It gave them a lot of confidence, and it’s this tournament that inspired them to set their goal of having an undefeated season,” she said. From there, STM captured the B.C. Catholics and Handsworth tournaments, spinning perfection along the way. Catalano calls the team’s effort at the Handsworth tourney their best.They blanked the host team in the final but first faced a rematch in the semifinal that was a measure of their progress. “I think because our previous game against (Pacific Academy) had been so close the girls really brought their ‘A’ game and played amazingly,” she said. “We beat (Pacific Academy) in two, and the sets weren’t that close. I think it was our most consistent game this season.” The Knights, led by captains Julia Spagnuolo and Gatto, were 12-0 in league play and set a preseason top-five placing at the provincials as the goal.

Focus to hold tryouts

The Focus Volleyball Club is hosting open tryouts in early December for boys and girls ages 12 to 18 years of age. The tryouts are being held at the Harry Jerome Sports Centre. For more information, visit their website at www.focusvolleyball.com or by contacting bartonlim@yahoo.ca.

Guildford would prevail 5-0. The loss drops Burnaby’s record to 3-0-4. In other u21 action, first-place teams EDC FC Burnaby and Coquitlam battled to a 1-1 tie. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Clan clipped

The Simon Fraser University men’s hockey team will look for a bounce-back effect this weekend when they venture to Victoria to play the UVic Vikes. SFU failed to protect a 2-0 lead last week, surrendering three unanswered goals

in a loss to Trinity Western University. Brendan Lamont scored 15 seconds into the game, while Michael Sandor counted SFU’s second marker. Netminder Jordan Liem was peppered with 34 shots in the contest.
