Burnaby residents with asthma, chronic respiratory disease and heart failure were warned to take precautions against a thick blanket of smoke hovering over Metro Vancouver earlier this week. The regional authority and Environment Canada issued a joint air-quality advisory Monday in response to smoke from wildfires that has shrouded much of the Lower Mainland, the Strait of Georgia and southern Vancouver Island since Sunday morning. Air quality maps of Burnaby showed concentrations of fine particulate matter shooting past four times the target level over a 24-
hour period. Levels had returned to below target by 6 a.m.Tuesday, but the air-quality advisory remained in effect. “Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease,” stated the Metro Vancouver advisory. “Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and in airconditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure.” People experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain or discomfort, or the sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways are advised to contact their doctor.
Emergency rooms have seen a jump in respiratory-related visits, according to Fraser Health Authority spokesperson Tasleem Juma, but health officials can’t say conclusively whether the smoke is the cause. “It’s difficult to determine whether it’s air quality, or heat or something else,” Juma told the NOW. Fine particulate matter refers to airborne solids or liquid droplets with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less. It can easily penetrate indoors because of its small size. Most masks available at drug stores won’t filter out fine particulate matter, according to Fraser Health, so if people intend to use masks they should make sure they are rated to filter out particles of 2.5 microns in size and that users are wearing the mask properly.

It took 40 firefighters and nearly 12 hours to knock down a bush fire on the north side of Burnaby Mountain that a local assistant fire chief said could have been devastating had it been able to spread. Around 9:10 a.m. on Sunday, firefighters were alerted of a smoke plum billowing from atop Burnaby Mountain. When they arrived, crews determined the fire was coming from a dense area of bush north of University Drive East and Cardiac Hill, which is a steep offshoot of the Trans Canada Trail. “The fire was approximately 500 to 600 feet off the roadway, down the hill, into the forest. It wasn’t right off the trail.They had to do some foraging into the forest,” said Rick Weir, assistant fire chief for the Burnaby Fire Department. By the time firefighters arrived at the scene, the fire was growing quickly and had started to climb into the canopy of tree tops above,Weir noted. Even though the blaze was relatively small compared to fires in other areas of the province, the Burnaby Mountain fire could have been a lot worse had it not been dealt with so quickly,Weir said. “This one had the potential to be quite devastating,”Weir said. “It had the potential to become like the ones we’re seeing on television right now.” Crews acted quickly and doused the flames with water to prevent the blaze from spreading through the canopy,Weir said. “(That) was extremely beneficial because once the fire gets up into canopy like that, it starts travelling quite quickly,” he added. Once the canopy fire was put out and firefighters went to work on the ground fire. Reinforcements from the Coastal Continued on page 8

Newsnow TRANSIT PLEBISCITE
Who wins, who loses with No vote? Seniors, people with disabilities could be hard hit, says alliance Janaya Fuller-Evans
jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com
Seniors and people with disabilities could suffer from social isolation and lack of access to medical services due to a continued freeze of HandyDART service hours, according to Beth McKellar, co-coordinator of the HandyDART Riders’ Alliance. Increased funding for the service was part of the transportation plan put forward by the Mayors’ Council. The plan, and the 0.5 per cent additional sales tax that would fund transit projects, was rejected by voters in the recent transit plebiscite. Users of the door-to-door service often have to book days, or even a week or more, in advance and sometimes have to wait hours for a return trip, according to McKellar. Service hours have been frozen since 2009, while the need for the service has
grown. “They just don’t realize, we are a tsunami,” she told the NOW. “We are a demographic that is more than they could ever comprehend, because we all get old.” McKellar walks with a crutch after she suffered a spinal cord injury 16 years ago. She has used the Handy-DART service since the injury. “It keeps me out of a wheelchair for now,” she said, adding, “I suffer from horrendous muscle spasms that include horrendous pain.” The alliance is going to wait until TransLink’s interim CEO, Doug Allen, is replaced by a permanent successor before campaigning for changes to the HandyDART system again, according to McKellar. “I’m going to lay low for a little bit, then we will come and start knocking on Continued on page 5

Student associations disappointed with vote Janaya Fuller-Evans
jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com
The recent transportation plebiscite results were a big disappointment to local student associations. The BCIT Student Association publicly supported the Mayors’ Council’s transportation plan. “We were quite surprised by the results and honestly disappointed,” said Shubhi
Singh, the association’s vicepresident, external. Without funding secured for transportation projects in the region, necessary improvements to the system will be stalled, she said. “In the short term, it might not look like a big difference, lives will go on as usual. But we do have around one million more people moving to Metro Vancouver in the next 30
years,” she said. “We need to make sure our transportation systems are up-todate and sustainable to support those students and workers.” The association plans to work with different levels of government to find a solution to maintaining and improving transit for students, according to Singh, even though the 0.5 per cent sales tax to fund transpor-
tation projects was rejected by voters. “We’re just really hoping to find an alternative method,” she said. The SFU Student Society also advocated for aYes vote. KathleenYang, vice-president of external relations, expressed disappointment that the transportation plan did not receive public approval but said the society is
focused on ensuring transit is accessible and affordable for its student members. “We remain committed to serving our members across all three of our campuses, which is Burnaby, Vancouver and Surrey,” she said. “(We’re) committed to continuing to provide a subsidized universal transit pass, which is the U-Pass, at as low as a fee as possible for all students.”
A number of SFU students who took part in a health sciences course at the school, Health and the Built Environment, also supported aYes vote but from a health perspective. Students learned about transit issues, and the plebiscite in particular, through the course, taught by Meghan Winters. They attempted to get youth more engaged in the Continued on page 5
TransLink needs an overhaul, says Corrigan Janaya Fuller-Evans
jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com
The recent transit plebiscite was an enormous waste of time and money, according to Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who never supported the ballot vote. “It was a regrettable waste of much-needed money in the transit system, and that’s probably the biggest disappointment out of
all of this,” he said. While he thought the mayors backing the plebiscite referendum had their hearts in the right place, he said he was disappointed they didn’t all refuse to take part in what he saw as a flawed process. “As you know, very early on I said we shouldn’t be going through this referendum process,” he said. “It was wrong-headed from the very beginning.”
Getting public approval on tax hikes for transit was always going to be an uphill battle, and Corrigan said he wasn’t surprised by the results of the plebiscite. The plebiscite question asked whether voters would accept a 0.5 per cent increase to the PST to help fund 10 years’ worth of transit projects put forth by the Mayors’ Council. In total, 61.68 per cent of registered voters in Metro Van-

Continued from page 3 doors and testing the waters,” she said, but added she would continue fighting for previous service levels to be restored. “I am not going away, just like the HandyDART Riders’ Alliance is
never going away. Because we’re there to fight for our rights to be treated with respect, dignity and courtesy.” The Mayors’ Council plan included an additional 190,000 annual hours to the service, which reflects a
30 per cent increase to existing service levels over 10 years. The Mayors’ Council also proposed splitting HandyDART costs with the provincial government.
Students lobbied for Yes vote Continued from page 3 process, she said. “Some of them, for sure, ended up becoming a face for youth in the referendum,” she said.
The students are part of a generation that is heavily dependent on transit, she pointed out, so the future of transit is of particular interest to them.
“These are health science students, so there’s an interest in air quality and emissions, as well,” she said.

Have mayors make decisions
Continued from page 3 it was people’s lack of confidence in TransLink that really was the determinative factor,” he said. “And as a result, I think that the only way to restore confidence in TransLink is to put it back into the municipal control, is to have the mayors making the decisions with the limited resources that are available,
and begin to convince the public that if they do put more money in, it will be well spent.” Last week,TransLink’s interim CEO Doug Allen refuted the idea that TransLink was rejected by voters rather than the tax increase itself. “I know some of you will say this is about TransLink,” he said at a press conference
on Thursday. “No, it is not.” Allen went on to say the system is recognized by experts for its efficiency.The issue came down to the increased cost to voters, he said. TransLink will review the system and work with the provincial government and the Mayors’ Council on a funding solution, he added.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
How can we sleep when B.C. is burning?
There was something almost Hollywood-like about the sky that hung over Burnaby on Sunday night. The golden-red light that glowed behind the heavy haze was eerily beautiful, in an apocalyptic, beginningof-the-end-of-the-world sort of way. And it was a sobering reminder that it’s about time we all started taking climate change – and all its associated effects on the planet – seriously. We’re done with the de-
niers and with the governments that push environmental issues to the bottom of the pile in a quest for economic growth in unsustainable forms. We simply can not afford to take our world for granted anymore. Consider these numbers, courtesy of Sierra Club B.C.: In the past five years, B.C. has had an average of 320 wildfires per year, burning 12,744 hectares.This year, with most of the summer still to come and no
rain in sight, there have already been 843 fires and 129,028 hectares burned. And it seems unlikely to be improving in the near future, as scientists are predicting hotter, dryer conditions for B.C. over the coming decades. So what, you may ask. Once we invest in air conditioners, swimming pools and SPF 50, what’s not to like about this new, California-like climate of ours? Well, how about the fact that record low snowpacks
and record high temperatures are affecting the Fraser River salmon run? Water flows are low, temperatures are high, and that threatens the health of the salmon returning to spawn. And if you don’t care much about the fish, well, what about us humans? Metro Vancouver reservoirs are at their lowest level in more than 25 years, and Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are already on the highest level of water restrictions.
The rest of us are heading that way fast. And that stands to mean far worse than just letting our lawns go brown. Drought threatens the health and viability of our agricultural industry – and thus the very food we depend upon. Every single aspect of our lives, and the life of our planet, depends on a world in balance – where our temperatures and our rainfall levels reflect the temperate rainforest we’re meant to be living in.
This parched and scorching world we’re inhabiting this summer could well be on its way to becoming our new normal – and that’s a reality with frightening and far-reaching consequences. Let’s just hope governments – at all levels – respond to the urgency. Because this smoky air we’ve been breathing isn’t just part of the lazy hazy crazy days of summer. Our planet is sending us a message – and it’s about time we listened.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Address cause of forest fires It looks like the weather is going to cost B.C. taxpayers dearly this year, but the provincial government is still only taking baby steps when it comes to dealing with what appears to be the chaotic effects of changes in climate patterns. We may be on our way to a record forest fire season, rain levels have dropped significantly and heat records are being set by the dozens. The combination of a hot, dry forest combined with what could be serious water shortages sets the stage for an explosive summer. An average year will see the government spend about $100 million fighting forest fires, even though the annual budgeted amount is set at about $63 million. But with the two hottest months still to come for the most part, we’ve already passed that budget figure. Costs could easily approach a half billion dollars before the fire season is over, and that doesn’t include related costs. Premier Christy Clark, who is locked into getting the liquefied natural gas industry to set up shop in this province, at least provided a couple of clues recently that perhaps taking a closer look at weather patterns is inching up one of her priority lists. Each year she sends “mandate letters” to her cabinet ministers, outlining the expectations for the year ahead. Mostly, they are about balancing the budget and running an efficient operation, the usual things.
But two ministers got special instructions this year. Forests and Lands Minister Steve Thomson is to analyze the impact of lower snowpacks and retreating glaciers on the province’s forests, and Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is to perform a similar task, and make recommendations on how best to protect farmland. Lower snowpacks? Retreating glaciers? Growing drought conditions?Water shortages? Temperatures hitting record highs? At least the government appears to have woken up to the fact that something unusual is going on. But the impact of these climate changes is not felt simply in the forests, and doesn’t end with the end of the forest fire season. Stream and lake temperatures will likely continue to rise, with potentially devastating results for fish and local ecosystems.We can expect more flooding, and violent storms may result in landslides or the destabilization of land masses. At the very least, this all translates into making a major hit on the provincial economy, which is reason alone for the government to start looking at doing more than simply drafting an analysis or two. I don’t offer any magical suggestions, but perhaps more resources should be allocated to start figuring out ways to deal with what could be a catastrophe in the waiting.

Happy Canada Day?
Kisai Here’s what we should do... Next time do mail-in (or online, if that’s even possible) votes for the civic election, since clearly it gets a better turn out. Put all proposed Transit projects and funding options on the next civic election. Even if the current Mayor and council thumb their nose at it. Whatever Translink-proposed project gets “overwhelming” support gets funded by whatever funding proposal is voted in for that election term. Burnaby can put it in writing “Supporting this project will require for the next 4 years: 50$/yr in additional property taxes or 50$ per vehicle levy per year.” There is no “do nothing” option unless all projects have little support, which is likely unheard of. Other municipalities can put theirs in writing as well. If certain communities show no support for a project, then it just doesn’t happen. Surrey can’t put “Light rail” without putting “Skytrain” and “BRT” options down since all three options were suggested by Translink, and would need a matching support from Langley and White Rock since those projects affect them as well. The City of Vancouver can include switching from Diesel to Trolley-rapid bus service down some corridors that have trolley wires, and expanding service so trolley routes run into Burnaby and Richmond.

Dear Editor Regarding your editorial of July 3, I am in disbelief at your response to the recent plebiscite on transit funding. OK, you were disappointed, and you are, as everyone else, certainly free to express your personal opinion. However, as a journalist, you claim to be confused as for the reason of the successful No vote? With all due respect, are you just ignorant or suffering of amnesia with regard to the well-publicized litany of financial blunders committed by the authority? I can understand that the CEO of TransLink believes there is no problem with the corporation, but you, as an editor of a newspaper, who at least ought to be aware of public sentiment and the reasons for the negative image TransLink has created for itself. Now let me remind you of the major reason, verified by subsequent polling, we, the ignorant unwashed masses want to first see some accountability of the billions already collected by the corporation before we are willing to hand over more money. I hope this clarifies your confusion. Ted Grigoleit, Burnaby
Regford The author’s elitist viewpoint is very clear: “An issue as fundamental and as critical to the future of the region as transportation had no business being subjected to the whims of a popular vote in the first place.” I was happy to use my democratic vote on an issue; we need many more referenda. This was a great chance to get back at TransLink, a unit that can’t even keep escalators running....

No vote was clear
Bibenesque Transit and traffic are both a mess… but there is an up-side. Burnaby cast about 70,000 votes (in the plebiscite) compared to roughly 40,000 votes in the municipal election of 7 months ago. This tells me that Burnaby voters are not simply lazy but the municipal elections system in Burnaby is broken. Presumably this has something to do with local community parties facing the combined efforts of the local, provincial and federal NDP’ers who can garner votes and cash from their trade union friends..... $92,000 from CUPE alone.
WHERE EXCITEMENT LIVES
Dear Editor I was shocked to read in the article the quote of TransLink’s CEO Doug Allen where he claims that “the plebiscite results were about voters rejecting a tax increase, not about the public perception of TransLink. I know some of you will say this is about TransLink. No it was not.” If this quote is correct, it proves that the TransLink board is completely out of touch with reality and the public sentiment against TransLink in general. I am a strata property manager and Realtor. In my professional work I have conversations with hundreds of individuals every year. The No. 1 hot topic this year has been the plebiscite. The opinions expressed to me about the plebiscite were that people were overwhelmingly voting No. The No. 1 reason for voting No was that TransLink wastes so much money that people do not want to give an extra nickel to that wasteful organization. The No vote was most definitely a vote of non-confidence in TransLink management. Everybody I spoke to about the issue is in favour of improvements to transit in the Lower Mainland. But the management of mass transit in the Lower Mainland has been outrageously incompetent. Yes, people do not want more taxes. But the reason that they stated to me is that the money TransLink was seeking could be found by TransLink reducing waste and improving efficiencies in their existing budget. Reductions in waste and improvements in efficiency would provide sufficient funds to meet their stated targets. I have heard the same argument from individuals of all political stripes.

er temperatures and modest improvements in visibility and air quality but stated smoke aloft was expected to linger for some time. Precautions for people with chronic underlying medical conditions: ! Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce indoor sources of pollution such as smoking and vacuuming. ! Run an air cleaner. Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels, provided they are the right size and filters are changed regularly. ! Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings that have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air.

Continued from page 1 Fire Centre, part of B.C. Wildlife Service, and Metro Vancouver were called in to assist the 31 Burnaby firefighters already on the scene. Once the fire was out, firefighters crawled through the area on their hands and knees feeling for any remaining hot spots. “Anything they found was dealt with immediately,”Weir said. After that, it was decided that some of the trees, damaged by the fire, needed to be removed in order to do a final thorough check of the area so a group of tree fallers from Hope were brought by helicopter to Burnaby Mountain.The

fallers knocked down about eight to 10 burnt trees,Weir said. “After the trees had been dropped, then our crews went back into the forest and continued extinguishing all the fires from within the tops of the trees,” he added. It took firefighters nearly 12 hours to put out the fire and check for any other burning in the area.The “long and drawn out affair” wrapped up around 9 p.m., but even then two trucks remained on scene throughout the night for some intermittent spraying and to keep an eye out for any flares up. On Monday morning, two Burnaby crews re-
turned to ensure the fire was completely out. The cause of the fire remains unknown at this time. There had been some speculation that homeless campers or squatters were to blame, but Weir said crews found no evidence of people living in the bush surrounding the blaze. Firefighters responded to a smaller fire at the Cornerstone Mews bus loop that seemed to have been caused by ash.Whether ash from that fire had travelled into the bush and sparked the fire on the mountain,Weir couldn’t speculate. Brush fires and other wild land fires have kept Burnaby firefighters busy since the hot, dry weather started.
Weir himself has responded to five brush fires during his past three shifts. Residents are reminded to be extra cautious during the dry weather. Everything is tinder dry and even the smallest of spark could spread quickly,Weir said. Open burning is prohibited in Burnaby all-year round, except with a permit from the fire chief.This includes any fire in an outdoor fireplace, portable incinerator or portable burner.

Stop washing driveways, cut back on sprinkler use Jennifer

MetroVancouver is tightening restrictions on water use, thanks to an unusually hot and dry summer. Burnaby residents are forbidden from washing their driveways and sidewalks with water, and lawn sprinkling is only allowed once a week in the morning, when demand for water is lower. “We need to reduce our discretionary use of water, including lawn sprinkling and washing cars,” said Greg Moore, chair of MetroVancouver’s board of di-
rectors. “Our reservoir levels need to be maintained for priority needs in our homes and businesses and for community needs like fire protection.” People with even-numbered addresses can only water their lawns on Monday, from 4 to 9 a.m.Those with odd-numbered addresses can water on Thursday, also from 4 to 9 a.m. For non-residential properties, the even-numbered addresses can water lawns from 1 to 6 a.m. onWednesday, while odd-numbered can water on Tuesday, also from 1 to 6 a.m.The restric-
tions do not apply to watering flowers, vegetables, gardens and shrubs. MetroVancouver typically enacts water restrictions from June to September, but cities are responsible for enforcement. Phase 1 of water restrictions ran from June 1 to July 2. During that period, the City of Burnaby received more than 100 complaints about violations but issued no tickets. Instead, people received up to two warning letters. During Phase 2, violators will receive only one warning letter, followed by a $50 fine if caught in the act.

Salina Kung Occupation STUDENT Why is she in the news?
Salina Kung won the City of Burnaby’s Youth Environment Award for her efforts in the community last month, just weeks before graduating from Alpha Secondary School. Salina has been involved in a number of environmental initiatives for the past seven years, including working to preserve the salmon population in city streams, winning an environmental journalism award for youth, introducing food scrap and recycling programs in Burnaby schools, and much more. She has also taken a leadership role, becoming president of her school’s green team in Grade 10, joining the executive of the Burnaby Youth Sustainability
How did you feel after finding out you won the city’s Youth Environmental Award? I was elated and was extremely humbled by the fact that my contributions to the community in regards to environmental sustainability have amounted into creating significant and impactful change throughout the Burnaby School District. What was the first environmental issue that caught your attention? When did you decide to do something about it? Growing up, I always had ideas, but I didn’t know what to do with them. At the age of 10, while volunteering to provide the homeless with hot meals, I met an ill, young child with his mother, who slept on the streets beside piles of garbage. With tears in my eyes, I was determined to change the social and environmental injustice I saw. I started with small steps. I volunteered at university summer camps, recreation centres, international festivals, and with local non-profit organizations. The first environmental issue that really struck me was the reality that I
Network in Grade 11 and becoming president of the network in Grade 12. She has organized everything from clothing swaps to community gardens. Now, Salina is preparing for university in the fall, after receiving a $60,000 Schulich Leader Scholarship. She was one of 50 Canadian students to receive the prestigious award. Salina plans to attend Simon Fraser University, and over the summer has plans to help the Canadian Youth Sustainabilty Network expand and grow. Salina spoke with the NOW recently about her volunteer efforts, her passion for the environment, and her plans for the future. – Janaya Fuller-Evans
couldn’t walk more than a few paces without seeing litter all over the ground outside. With a small group of friends, we hosted a schoolwide cleanup supervised by a few parents around our elementary school. How did you become involved with environmental initiatives in Grade 5? My Grade 5 teacher, Guy Hamilton, is perhaps one of the most influential figures in my life. His passion for teaching and for fishing led to a salmon-raising project, organized by the Salmonids in the Classroom Program, that engaged our class with feeding and releasing salmon fry.Through this initiative, he taught us environmental stewardship and helped us foster a sense of personal care for the environment. To this day, he still inspires me to continually strive to improve and build on myself. He taught me that change can be brought about by anyone at any age. What was it like to win Canada’s Next Green Youth Journalist? How did that change/affect the work you do? Winning Canada’s Next Green Journalist was the most exciting event to have happened to me in Grade 9. I founded a salmon-rais-

ing project to foster aquatic stewardship with the $500 first place award from Environmental Defence Canada. The award inspired me to pursue investigative journalism, and ever since, I have interviewed city councillors from different communities and cities, like Kitimat, university professors, and nonprofit organization leaders for my online pipeline series regarding the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion and the Northern Gateway Enbridge pipeline proposal. It was also rewarding to be able to take my ideas and turn them into real community change with this grant as I aspired to raise awareness about declining salmon populations and their importance to our Canadian heritage. What project have you enjoyed the most? At five years old, I witnessed a woman in tattered clothing smile after finding a scarf among debris. Realizing that useful garments are often thrown away, I aspired to combine my concern for the homeless with my passion for sustainability by organizing Vancouver’s largest clothing swap. Compelled to bring light to this poorly addressed issue in the city, this event, co-hosted in downtown Vancouver by Burnaby Youth Sustainability Network, stemmed from the idea that sustainability can
take on artistic forms, such as fashion. Over 300 guests attended with bags of gently-worn clothing, and were in turn allowed to choose items from clothes brought in by other guests. Ultimately, over 15,000 garments were exchanged and diverted from landfills. Additionally, more than 90 large bags of remaining clothes were donated to Big Brothers.
With tears in my eyes, I was determined to change the social and environmental injustice I saw.
What have you done that you’ve felt had the greatest effect? As the president of the BurnabyYouth Sustainability Network, I was involved in the process of acquiring a $5,600 grant to establish school gardens at all eight Burnaby public high schools. I re-established the school garden at my own high school, and it was heartwarming to see the collaborative culture that it created as students worked
together to plant and harvest produce. I also worked with elementary schools at that time, launching a district-wide electronic waste campaign to raise awareness about the ample amounts of electronic waste we produce annually. I brought a food scraps recycling program into all eight Burnaby high schools to divert at least 60 per cent of organic waste from school garbage and ultimately the landfills, with the help of the Be the Change Earth Alliance and the Burnaby School Board. I believe that my work with my school’s green team, with nearby elementary schools, and with the BurnabyYouth Sustainability Network had the greatest effect.Though, it’s important to keep in mind that every little action can accumulate to create significant change. Tell us about the scholarship you’re receiving. I received the Schulich Leader Scholarship award, which is a $60,000 scholarship awarded to 50 Canadian students out of the thousands of nominations across Canada. One student from every high school across Canada is nominated.This scholarship is presented to exceptional students who excel in academics and have committed their time to bringing out exemplary change on a local and/or nation-
al scale. Recipients must be pursuing science, mathematics, technology or engineering. What are your plans for college? I plan to pursue an honours degree in biomedical physiology at Simon Fraser University, which will tie into my environmental advocacy work on a local and national scale. Do you plan to keep advocating for the environment after you graduate? What projects do you have in mind? I don’t plan to stop pursuing my passion for advocating for the environment through workshops, eco-initiatives, public events, and sustainability conferences after high school. In fact, I plan to take them to a national level. I will be working with a few close friends to build on the CanadianYouth Sustainability Network, which will create a Canada-wide network to bring more cohesiveness to environmental movements, inspire youth across Canada to engage in sustainable living, expand and enrich the voices of youth, and advance the nation’s step towards a more sustainable future.

How do I know who’s winning?
Spectator Information (Racing 101) The Giro di Burnaby is part of B.C. Superweek and takes place on Thursday, July 16. The women’s race starts at 6 p.m. and the men’s race starts at 7:15 p.m.
The winner is the orst rider across the line at the end of the race. So nobody’s really winning unless there’s a breakaway group of riders pulling away from the pack.
Why is everybody racing in a tight bunch?
Bicycle racers go faster and save energy by drafting one another, beneoting from a similar kind of pull that Nascar racers get by drafting each other. When What is a Criterium? Criterium racing is the most action-packed, spectator- the cyclists are stretched out that means that the racers at the front of the pack are really going fast and friendly form of bicycle road racing consisting of many laps on a course no longer than two kilometres that the rest of the oeld are drafting off those riders, while struggling to stay together.

What’s the bell-ringing all about? The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/onish line on the next lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the onal standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging. Is it safe to watch? Very safe! There is a dedicated team of volunteers and professionals to keep things running smoothly and safely. Bales of hay are used to protect the riders in the event of a fall; secure fencing is set up around the course to keep the race contained; and we have a fully trained, on-site medical team. Spectator safety at the Giro di Burnaby Here are a few common sense tips to keep in mind on race day: • For the safety of the spectators and racers, please obey the race marshals at all times. • Cross at the designated crossing points along the course and only cross when a designated race marshal indicates it is safe to do so. • Bikes and pace cars can exceed speeds of 60 km/h and the road is reserved at all times during the course of the evening just for them. • Keep your hands well inside the fencing.

The Heights can be chaotic with crowds and cyclists at the annual Giro di Burnaby on Hastings Street, but there’s an easy way to plan for the event – the Giro’s website.
There is also a section for local businesses interested in becoming vendors at the Giro Expo, which kicks off at 5 p.m.
The website, at www.girodiburnaby.com, has been developed and expanded by Greg Dion, media relations manager for the event. This year, the site includes detailed information on the event, including the day’s schedule, the Girolino and the Giro Breve, and tips on how best to enjoy the races. The Girolino page has information on how to register for the kids’ zone, which runs from 3 to 5 p.m. (call Eileen Dailly Pool at 604-298-7946 or register online at www.burnaby.ca/webreg with the barcode, 367304), the cost ($2) and tips (such as kids must bring a helmet, and have a caregiver on hand, to participate). The section on the Giro Breve, a youth race taking place at 5:30 p.m. on July 16, gives all the necessary details for those wanting to participate, including a link where young cyclists can register for the event; www. grbridgethegap.com/bc-youth-superweek. “The Giro Breve youth race is a fantastic addition to the event this year. Our mandate has always been to add as much community value as we can to the Giro,” Dion said in a press release. “To have the opportunity to give young, up-and-coming riders a chance to get out on the course next to the profes-
Riders wishing to participate in the men’s and women’s races can ond detailed information, including a breakdown of the prize purse for the women’s and men’s races – $14,995 in all – as well as the full results from last year’s races. Dion is also providing prooles of riders who’ll be taking part in the races in his Why I Ride segment on the Giro’s blog. The orst rider to be prooled is Anika Todd, a cyclist with TIBCO-SVB. Todd only started riding road bikes three years ago, according to her proole, and will be participating in her third Giro di Burnaby this year. “I love competing and I love travelling. Cycling has taken me all over the world and given me the opportunity to challenge myself both physically and mentally in countless spectacular races,” Todd tells Dion for the piece. “Every race is so unique; from the terrain to the tactics to the weather conditions, every race is different making cycling the most complex sport I have ever competed. It never gets boring!” The website also includes news on other B.C. Superweek events, information on the sponsor Appia Developments, volunteer information, video of previous races, photos and more.
Fun for all: The Giro di Burnaby includes men’s and women’s races, starting at 6 p.m., but that’s not all – this year there are also kids’ events before the races, and an expo area for spectators. PHOTO FILE

Sandhill return: Two sandhill cranes were spotted feeding a young chick at Burnaby Lake recently, marking the first-ever recorded birth of the species in Burnaby. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED COLIN CLASEN
Baby chick feared dead Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
Birdwatchers are all a flutter over a rare tiny chick spotted at Burnaby Lake recently, although there are new concerns the baby bird may be dead. Two sandhill cranes have been seen at Burnaby Lake with a chick, marking the first known birth of the species in Burnaby. “It’s quite a big deal,” said George Clulow, organizer of the annual Christmas Bird Count. “It’s the first-ever record of breeding sandhill cranes in Burnaby.” By Monday, however, Clulow suspected the chick
may be missing or dead. In an online forum for birdwatchers, there were unconfirmed reports of the chick’s ailing health – that it wasn’t accepting food and was having trouble lifting its head – and the parents were last spotted flying around the lake vocalizing, apparently crying out in search of their chick. Sandhill cranes are a
long-legged species, with a crimson cap and curved rump feathers.They are not endangered in B.C., but they are rarely spotted in Burnaby, and a birth is even more unusual, as they typically breed in the Interior. Clulow suspects the Burnaby Lake chick is a reflection of a vulnerable population on the upswing.

Oakville claims third Crosby title Burnaby’s Tier 3 lacrosse team wins first novice all-star cup in more than a decade
Tom Berridge
tberridge@burnabynow.com
The Oakville Hawks are back on top at the Jack Crosby Novice All-Star lacrosse tournament. The Ontario-based Hawks won the 30th instalment of the annual Crosby memorial novice jamboree, winning for the third time with a convincing 8-1 victory over Coquitlam Gold in the Tier 1 A final at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. The Oakville association is turning the Crosby final into a tradition of sorts, having won back-to-back competitions in 2011 and ’12 before losing to Coquitlam in the 2013 goldmedal game.The Hawks were also the silver medalists last year in an all-Ontario final against Orangeville. “Why do we keep coming back? I just think it’s a good experience for the boys coming to the West Coast,” said head coach Rob MacDougall, who was with Oakville on its first trip to the Crosby in 1998, when they won the bronze medal against host Burnaby.The club returned to Burnaby in 2005 and made it to its first tournament final. “We just want to see the other side of the world and see what (the lacrosse) is like,” added MacDougall. Oakville coasted into the gold-medal game, winning its group with a 5-0-0 record before earning a spot in the final with a 12-5 win over Ridge Meadows. The Maple Ridge association upset group winner

knotted at 1-1 until the final frame, when Gavin Garrett sparked a threegoal finish with the eventual game-winning marker. Nicholas Svetic and Ward finished off the win with goals in the final seven minutes of the period. Brendan Walters got the win in goal, stopping more than 40 shots for the novice Lakers. Burnaby defeated group runner-up Ridge Meadows 6-3 in the placement game behind a four-point outing,
It was never about the score for the junior A Burnaby Lakers. The Lakers finished up their B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season on the wrong end of a 17-5 decision to the New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. But for a second consecutive season, the Lakers under head coach Brad Parker, it was more about rebuilding the once mighty franchise back into a contender. “It’s a growth period and we’re paying for bad habits,” said Parker after the game. But despite finishing with a 4-17-0 record, one win less than last season, Parker believes the on-floor product is getting stronger. “It’s not the best lacrosse you’ve ever seen, but they don’t quit,” he said. Graduating team captain Corey Wong also believes that the seed for better days ahead has been sown. Second-year righthander Aidan Milburn finished fourth in overall league scoring with 80 points, including his 41st goal of the season midway through the first period on Sunday. Rookie lefthander Mitch McDole led the Lakers with a team-high hat trick

Burnaby on the A side of the draw, handing the hosts their first loss of the season – 5-4 in the crossover matchup. In the Tier 1 final, Oakville goalie Keith Allan conceded the game’s first goal on a power play in the opening five minutes of play but was perfect the rest of the way, stopping 25 shots for the win. The Hawks’ player of the game described Oakville’s record run at the Crosby as “exciting and fun.” “We just keep trying,” Al-
lan said after the game. Oakville took over midway through the first period, scoring four unanswered goals, including the first of a pair by both Quaid Beaudry and Cody O’Neill. The Hawks added three more in the middle period and another one in the third. Ridge Meadows won the bronze. Ryden Evers of Burnaby was named his team’s Tier 1 all-star MVP. Luke Misa of Oakville and Coquitlam Gold’s
Devon Graham were also named all-stars. Burnaby did not go home from the Crosby empty handed. The Tier 3 Lakers finished third in their group, but played their best when it really counted, taking the gold medal with a 4-1 victory over Juan de Fuca in the tournament final. Game MVP Josh Ward had a pair of goals for the A3 Lakers, including the team’s opening goal in the first period. The two teams remained

The Burnaby Lakers won their fourth game in five starts with a strong 9-7 upset win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies. The come-from-behind victory over the former firstplace ’Bellies at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre was New West’s fifth defeat in its last six Western Lacrosse Association games after beginning the season on a 6-0 run. Burnaby looked a bit unready in the opening 20
minutes falling behind 5-3 on the scoresheet, but settled down in the final twothirds, outscoring the visitors 6-2 the rest of the way. After an unlucky outcome earlier in the week against Langley, Burnaby continued to show the similar loose ball skills and improving back-end play that was evident in the first two periods against the Thunder. Once again it was the inspired play of first star Robert Church, who found a way past the goalkeeping of New West’s Eric Penney. The talented righthander
opened the second-period scoring with a low bouncer at the seven-minute mark and then set up Dane Stevens for the game-tying goal a minute later. After Keegan Bal gave New West a brief one-goal lead on an off-balance shot from the right side that beat Tye Belanger, Church replied quickly, knotting the contest off the bench with a deft move on a transition counter. Scott Jones put Burnaby in the lead for good, burying the ball behind Penney from the right crease on a pow-
er play with just seconds remaining in the period. Jones also set up second star Jamie Lincoln at the left crease on a power play for the game winner midway through the final period. Peter McFetridge, with his second transition goal of the game, iced the contest scoring into an empty net with the New West keeper pulled for an extra attacker. “Second chances are big in this league,” said Jones after the game.The rangy righthander also praised Belanger for his 28-save performance after a shaky first
period. “(Tye) doesn’t fold up. I think that’s huge. If you want to b e a good goalie you have to forget about the last goal and he was huge in the second and third periods,” Jones added. Although without playing a full lineup yet this season, Burnaby is starting to show the depth and cohesiveness that is beginning to give matchup problems to all they meet. “We’re slowly getting there.We didn’t have a full lineup but I know down the stretch that will happen,”
Jones said. Church led all scorers with a six-point outing, while Lincoln had two goals and three assists and Jones chipped in with four points, including a pair of markers. Jordan McBride, who scored on a penalty shot in the final two minutes of the contest, had a hat trick for the 7-5-0 Salmonbellies. Burnaby is right behind with a record of 6-5-0. The Lakers had a big test on their home night on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines) against the first-place Victoria Shamrocks.

A bunch of good little battlers Continued from page 23 including a hat trick, from captain and tournament all-star Sean Richards. “We just played a good all-around game,” said Burnaby head coach Mike Richards. “Every single game we never scored first,
they’re just a bunch of really good little battlers.” Nanaimo defeated Juan de Fuca 9-2 in the Tier 2 gold-medal final. Calgary took home the Tier 2 third-place medal.
