CITY HERITAGE

Celebrating the city’s Chinese roots A CLOSER LOOK By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

It was an area unlike the rest of Burnaby. Back in the day, what’s now called Big Bend on the north side of the Fraser River was known as The Flats and was full of farms. Almost everywhere else in the city was hilly and bursting with suburbia. It was different in another sense.The farms were almost exclusively tended to by Chinese families while the rest of Burnaby had a paler complexion.

But while The Flats is the most visible evidence of the historical Chinese contribution to Burnaby, it is by no means the only noteworthy one.

BURNABY PIONEERS: Chinese immigrants played a significant role in Burnaby’s growth, not only in farming, such as the original partners in Hop On Farms on Marine Drive (see story page 3), including Gay Tim Hong (above, far right), but in other industries as well. PHOTO HONG FAMILY, CONTRIBUTED “The Chinese played a key role in different stages of the local food production and distribution network,” said Fong in an email. “Aside from market gardening, there is historical evidence as early as the 1890s that early Chinese agriculturalists and hog-keepers raised pigs for use in land clearing, fertilization, and as a food source. Chinese labourers were often hired for ditching and land clearance due to

their experience and skills. Chinese farmers worked cooperatively with Chinese peddlers who sold their products door to door to private residences and businesses throughout the region.” The earliest census for Burnaby, 1901, shows numerous wood cutters with Chinese names. Some were employed at the North Pacific Lumber Mill, also known as Barnet Mill, as labourers and cooks. Oth-

City now A CLOSER LOOK

On The Flats: Hong family’s six sisters keep the farm tradition alive All six Hong sisters have done everything on the farm at one time or another since they outgrew the stroller By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

It’s a quiet choreography of chaos as the Hong family criss-crosses the property below Marine Drive on a sunny late summer afternoon. Some carry crops back and forth between buildings. Others are busy in the bustling retail outlet. One wears rubber boots and wields a hose as she cleans produce. It’s a day like countless others during the last few decades at Hop On Farms, which has been a familiar landmark and go-to place for fresh produce in South Burnaby for decades. They know the roles. They ought to. All six Hong sisters have done everything on the farm at one time or another ever since they were too big for a stroller. And now, some of their offspring and grandchildren can be found on the farm, as evidenced by one corner cluttered with kids bikes. How they got there is one of the tales that will be told at Chinese-Canadian Stories at the Bob Prittie Metrotown branch of the Burnaby Public Library on Oct. 4. The event is part of the Burnaby Neighbourhood Histories Series that honours its 125-year history. Grandfather Gay Tim Hong came to Canada in 1925, working as a houseboy and other jobs. He took the money he made back to China every few years so the family could “purchase more land and build a grand home in our small village,” according to Chan Kow Hong, their father, in a reminiscence his family has saved. Chan Kow’s grandmother, mother, two sisters, his wife and oldest daughter, Pauline, all lived in the home. When the Communist party took over in 1949, the government confiscated the family’s property. Chan Kow’s wife and mother were jailed as landlords. Gay Tim Hong had to continue sending money back to China to make the payments the government demanded for their release. Once they got out, Chan Kow’s wife and Pauline went to Hong Kong. Chan Kow arrived in Canada in 1952 when he was 21 to join his father, who was leasing farmland on the Musqueum Indian Reserve in Vancouver. But they wanted to own their own operation. In December 1953, Chan Kow and three others bought the property on Marine Drive between Gilley and Royal Oak avenues. They named it Hop On Farms because in Chinese it meant peaceful partnership or union. Chan Kow’s wife and Pauline finally arrived in 1958. Eventually, they had five more daughters and one son, Gary, who now lives in Comox on Vancouver Island. By 1964, Chan Kow and Gay Tim bought out the other partners. They worked hard, long hours. They

had to because there was lots of competition from the other Chinese farms on The Flats. “They never got dinner until 10 or 11 at night,” says Pauline. “Even when the kids went to school they didn’t get dinner until 11. We had to help wash the radishes, pack it up into wooden crates and then load it up onto the truck. No machinery. It was all hand powered. There were no forklifts.” Pauline, Josephine, Catherine, Norine, Gary and twins Darlene and Marlene went to primary grades (one to three)

across the street at Glenwood Elementary before moving up the hill to Clinton for grades four to seven. Then it was up the hill to McPherson Park Junior High at MacPherson Avenue and Rumble Street, and Burnaby South Senior High on Kingsway. “We kept very much to ourselves. I don’t think we went out. We kept basically as a family. We didn’t integrate into (society). We didn’t have time,” says Pauline. She laughs a bit uncomfortably when asked about racism in those days. “We

still got called chinks in school. It would probably be racist now. I could probably sue somebody now.” “We didn’t even know what racism was,” says Josephine. “We just knew you didn’t belong really. And although we had lots of friends, we couldn’t participate in their activities. They went to Sunday school or to church and we didn’t do things like that because we had no time, we had to work. We didn’t really participate in a lot of things they’d do. They Continued on page 4

They would have birthday parties and we didn’t know what a birthday party was.” Their father liked to cook, so when his father retired, Chan Kow decided to get out of farming and open a restaurant in Kamloops, the Lotus Inn, with his dad in 1972. “They noticed there were no Chinese restaurants there so that was their dream, to go up there,” says Pauline, who took over the farm with her husband, Jack Chan. “We’re doing OK. We diversified.” Every year is a challenge, and often dependent on the weather. They elevated the operation by introducing a seasonal retail component. They also switched crops … we had around to improve to work all production. Celsummer.

Celery is also birthday party a thirsty and hungry vegetable that was. guzzles water and gobbles up nutrients. Then there’s cauliflower that takes up a lot of space. “All the weeding that goes around it, it’s not worth it anymore,” says Josephine. So they switched to crops with faster turnover like radishes, carrots, green onions, herbs and kale. To keep the operation viable yearround, they grow bedding plants in their many greenhouses. The Hongs don’t believe recent immigrants realize what the pioneer Chinese endured to make a life in Canada. “I don’t think they care. I really don’t think they care. They’re so rich and they feel they can do anything they want,” says Pauline. “We had to start from scratch, and really from scratch.” Although they’ve made a go of it in Burnaby, the Hong sisters don’t want their kids to endure the heavy labour they’ve had to do all their lives. Like their ancestral pioneers, they want something better for their descendants. But, they ask, “Who’s going to do the work?”

Burnaby construction icon passes away

Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Keith Beedie, an “iconic figure” in Burnaby business, has passed away. The founder and patriarch of the Beedie Development Group, died Sept. 20. He was 91. According to the family’s obituary, Beedie was born in Vancouver on June 13, 1926. He and a partner set up a woodwork shop in Marpole after the Second World War. (He enlisted in the air force on his 18th birthday but was never sent overseas.) After building a home for his family – his first wife, Leona Candaele, and their three children – he started working on other homes. Eventually, he broke out on his own forming Beedie Construction in 1954. In the early 1960s, the company expanded to take on industrial and commercial construction. The Beedie Development Group had an office in Burnaby on Kingsway just east of Royal Oak Avenue which Beedie built in 1956. Fifty years later, with business booming for Beedie, those offices were sold to the B.C. New Democratic Party, and the company moved to much larger quarters at Gilmore Diversion and Manor Street in March 2007. “He was an iconic figure in Burnaby construction and, in fact, throughout the Lower Mainland,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. “He was one of those old-time, self-made entre-

preneurs who was prepared to take the risks necessary to continue to develop a pretty impressive list of construction achievements.” Corrigan added Beedie was instrumental in industrial land development not just in Burnaby – particularly in the Big Bend area – but in many corners of the region. “He was one of the first people to do the tilt-up construction that they utilized for fairly inexpensive development of industrial sites. He perfected those methods and became a go-to developer around the Lower Mainland for industrial sites,” said Corrigan. Tilt-up is a technique where concrete slab walls are formed on a floor before the finished product is tilted up into place. It was a system he saw used in California and adapted to the wetter Vancouver market. Corrigan pointed out the company recently returned to Beedie’s residential roots by teaming up with Anthem

Properties to develop five highrise towers at Station Square in Metrotown. Beedie and his second wife Betty, who he married in 1966, formed the Keith and Betty Beedie Foundation, donating $1.5 million for a MRI machine for Burnaby Hospital. It also put up academic scholarships for Simon Fraser University and built a $1 million softball field there. Keith and son Ryan, who now heads the company, donated $22 million to SFU to start the Beedie School of Business.The university conferred on Keith an honourary doctorate degree in 2016. “He donated a lot of money to different aspects of the community,” said Corrigan. “He gave back to the community that made such a good life for him.” In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation (bhfoundation.ca).

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Note to Horgan: Don’t follow Liberals’ FOI lead Thousands of miles from a U.S. voting booth, a Russian company with a history of pushing propaganda sought to sway the U.S. presidential election through social media. That is a threat to democracy. Amid the chaos of Venezuela, the constitution is set to be rewritten following a questionable referendum. That, of course, is a threat to democracy. But closer to home,

British Columbia faces a different democratic threat: sloth. By law, B.C.’s government must respond to freedom of information requests within 30 days. But approximately 20 per cent of the time, our previous Liberal government broke that law, according to a recent report from B.C.’s privacy commissioner. By 2016, our government appeared to be over-

run by sedated banana slugs, as the response time for overdue requests leaped from 47 to 62 days. However, the most dazzling displays of sluggishness were reserved for journalists, who faced the longest lag time. While not precisely a slow coup, the trend is nonetheless troubling. If the government controls when information is released, it can control how

Government slowdown for releasing info is unacceptable it will be perceived, discussed, and used. Freedom of information requests must be honoured. And not just be-

cause we need to know how much lead is in our drinking water. And not just because, as a CBC freedom of information request recently revealed, our previous Liberal government asked oil and gas companies to refine the language of recommendations related to climate change. No, the most basic reason these requests must be honoured is because the

information belongs to us. And without timely, easy access to information, the simple fact is that that information becomes stale and lost in the process. We certainly hope one of new Premier John Horgan’s memos to both his government’s new bureaucrats and MLAs is simply: In the case of freedom of information requests, sooner is better than later.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

A quick guide to Liberalcontenders The one feature of the B.C. Liberal Party leadership race that stands out the most is that no one stands out. There are more than a half dozen candidates, but there is no obvious frontrunner and no clear advantage held by any of them. Most are relatively unknown (even those who had been cabinet ministers in government) or whose identity is confined to geographical regions. As of this column’s writing, it appeared there would be about eight candidates for at least the first part of the race (to continue past Dec. 29th, each candidate has to give the party $50,000, which should cull the field somewhat). Here, then, is an attempt at handicapping each candidate (posted in no particular order): Mike Bernier. The former education minister from the Peace River area, Bernier’s challenge will be establishing himself in the nearly 50 ridings within Metro Vancouver (each riding is assigned 100 “points,” which are distributed among the candidates based on how many votes they get from members in the riding). Likeable and moderate, he could benefit from the preferred ballot system that will be used, as he may be many voters’ second or third choice. Andrew Wilkinson. A former cabinet minister, Wilkinson must overcome being cast as a member of the elite, as

he represents the wealthy Vancouver-Quilchena riding on the city’s west side. But he appears to be wellorganized and seems to have started that organizing earlier than any of his rivals. Wilkinson must also shed the image he honed while in government – coming across as arrogant and all-knowing (he’s both a doctor and a lawyer). Dianne Watts A former Surrey mayor and Conservative MP, there’s no question Watts brings some profile and experience to her candidacy bid. But she’ll get a rough ride by some for her lack of history in the party (some will go as far as accusing her disloyalty) and her lack of party experience may hurt her chances of being named a second or third choice by many voters. Mike de Jong The best known of the field (he’s been an MLA for more than 20 years), de Jong brings experience but also baggage (some will no doubt lay the election loss directly at his feet). As well, any party member wanting “renewal” is unlikely to vote for him. Sam Sullivan The former Vancouver mayor’s chief reason for entering the race is to raise some provocative issues, such as legalized drugs, more private health care, charter schools and selling government liquor stores. Not sure he’ll be there at the end. Continued on page 7

Opinionnow Metal mesh is not art Dear Editor: It would be a disservice to our city if nobody criticized the new “public art” that was erected on our behalf by the developers of the Modello tower, by Willingdon and Beresford. If that is art, then we could most definitely call anyone an artist. It is nothing more than metal mesh in the shape of a tree trunk, with a single branch. The construction of it took hardly any artistic inspiration, and the profound environmental statement which the artists nobly and honourably took as their inspiration can not possibly redeem it. Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David” is public art. Auguste Rodin’s “The Thinker” is public art. The laughing statues at English Bay are public art. This, on the other hand, is a mistake. The trunk is constructed with strands of smooth metal, which shows no trace whatsoever of artistic expression besides slight bends, and there are shorter pieces connecting these longer ones, which are numerously slanted. And then you have the leaves, which happen to be a different, solid colour. Wow. Impressive. I consider myself to be a progressive in nearly all matters, moral and practical, even social, but this is simply not art, let alone “public art.” We can call it post-modernism, but it is truly and simply a mistake.

The misuse of FSA results to rank schools and the inadequate protection of student privacy are other major concerns. We are urging the provincial government to work with teachers and others to protect school and student information, rather than proceed with this year’s FSA.

be going through Burnaby, from North Road to the Burnaby terminal. Bikramjit Kanjilal, Kinder Morgan’s director of marine operations, said the expansion brings no new environmental risks. “Risk is really a combination of probability and consequence. So as far as the

consequence goes, it’s the same if you consider we are using the same route, we are using similar vessels, we are transporting cargo, however, we are transporting more of them,” he told reporters. “What’s being affected is the probability side of the equation of risk, so risk will increase, but it’s not a new risk.” To deal with a higher risk, Kanjilal pointed to additional mitigation measures that will be in place before the pipeline is in operation. They include expanding tug escorts as well as enhancing the oil spill response system, both in capacity and response time. Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, the company responsible for Western Canada’s waterways, will be investing $150 million to beef up its system.That includes building new bases, including one at Vancouver Harbour.

Kinder Morgan updated the media last Thursday about its construction plans for the Burnaby section of the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project. Shovels have yet to hit the ground, but the company expects to meet all of its deadlines. (Construction is expected to start sometime this month, according to Trans Mountain’s website.) “There’s a lot of layers to all of this,” said Michael Davies, vice-president of operations for Kinder Morgan Canada. “There’s the federal approvals, there’s contractors, engineering, so we’re rapidly pulling all that together.” Kinder Morgan has acquired all the pre-construction approvals from the National Energy Board to start construction at the Westridge Marine Terminal. The company is still working, however, to meet the NEB’s conditions and obtain other permits.

A Great Blue Heron suffering from pellet wounds had to be put down last Friday. The bird was found in Langley and taken to the Critter Care Wildlife Society. Staff there then transferred the endangered animal to the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby. Technicians did an X-ray of the heron’s right leg and found three pellets inside. Two of them broke the right femur. “It couldn’t stand, it couldn’t do much of anything,” said Sam Smith, the association’s marketing and communications coordinator. “It was to the point where no recovery was possible, and so, the technicians decided the best course of action would be to euthanize the animal, provide a

Drivers given hefty ﬁnes for playing Pokémon Go Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Two women were issued a $368 distracted driving ticket in Burnaby on Monday for playing Pokémon Go. The first incident happened around 8 a.m. at 10th Avenue and Sixth

Street.With September being distracted driving month, Mounties were in the area doing a blitz. “The police officer noticed that the driver was looking down, obviously not paying attention to the traffic,” said Cpl. Daniela Panesar. “The 51-year-old (female) driver basically ad-

mitted to playing Pokémon Go.” The second incident happened around 5:30 p.m. at Willingdon and Kingsway. The driver, a 53-year-old woman from North Vancouver, was issued the same ticket for using an electronic device (as well as four demerit points).

Coming soon to your doorstep

Panesar told the NOW it was a bit of a surprise to have two incidents related to the augmented-reality game occur in the same day. “I think most people thought that Pokémon Go had kind of seen its day and was gone,” she said. On average, Burnaby

RCMP are handing out 30 distracted driving tickets in two hours, Panesar added. “I think some people are getting the message, but definitely, we still need to educate people about the dangers.” Distracted driving has become the number 1 killer in the province, according to

ICBC, surpassing impaired driving. Using an electronic device behind the wheel results in 78 deaths per year, and drivers are five times more likely to crash. Onequarter of all car crashes in B.C. are due to distracted driving.

Congrats go out to a Burnaby resident and her pooch who successfully passed the international certification for wilderness and rubble searches. Jeanette Van Dijk and her K-9 partner, Phoenix, went through testing from Sept. 15 to 17, and were judged by Jaroslav Sedlak from the Czech Republic. He was sent to Canada by the International Rescue Dog Association. “In order to have passed this test, Ms.Van Dijk and her K-9 partner have worked long hours each week under sometimes very harsh conditions, and acquired some very specific and demanding skills,” reads a press release. The International Rescue Dog Association is a partner to the United Nations and provides a uniform standard to countries across the world, ensuring that search dogs are trained and certified at the highest level. “It is with great pride that the Canadian Search and Disaster Dogs Association will now be dispatching Jeanette and Phoenix to communities in need,” says the release. “Their certification in rubble searches will allow them to assist in the search

for victims trapped in collapsed structures and response to natural disasters.” The pair are now officially on the dispatch list for international missions in case of major earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons. Way to go! FOUNDATION GETS A BOOST The Down Syndrome Research Foundation recently received a generous donation of $3,000. The money came from the Lohn Foundation and will support the organization’s educational programs. “We are so grateful for the foundation’s investment in our students,” says Maria Marano, head of events and community relations, in a press release. “As an independent charitable organization receiving no ongoing government funding, community support turns potential into reality. Each investment enables us to hire qualified teachers, registered speech language therapists ... while keeping program fees manageable for our families.” The Down Syndrome Research Foundation also received a $3,000 donation from the Surrey Cares Community Foundation.

On Sept. 15, Isobel Mackenzie’s office released what’s being billed as a “landmark” survey.The questionnaire, conducted between June 2016 and May 2017, asked seniors and their frequent visitors (20,000 British Columbians in total) what quality of life was like at their care home – everything from social connectedness and physician care to staff responsiveness and quality of food. Fifty per cent of residents rated the overall quality of the care home as very good or excellent.

Learn to maintain a healthy brain at workshop A workshop all about how to maintain a healthy brain is coming to the Bonsor Recreation Complex next month. Karen Tyrell, a dementia consultant, educator, speaker and author, will be sharing her wisdom on Oct. 26 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. “I’m hoping that I will be able to actually motivate people to take action,” she said. “I’m a firm believer we can hear and learn about all these things about the brain, but it won’t do us any good if we’re not taking action.” It’s not just about completing the daily crossword puzzle, said Tyrell, as that’s just one part of the brain. “It’s like you exercising your left bicep every day.We need to exercise the entire brain.” In her talk,Tyrell will be focusing on the five key brain functions: memory, word skills, focus, coordination and critical thinking. She’ll suggest differ-

ent activities for each. For example, for coordination, she’ll demonstrate juggling three balls, something Tyrell picked up after only 15 minutes of practising. “No word of a lie. It takes

We need to exercise the entire brain

a little practice, but it can be done, and that’s very good for eye-hand coordination,” she said. Other brain-friendly activities include playing Clue and yoga. Getting some flashcards and creating a memory game that involves matching up pairs doesn’t hurt either. By adopting these lifestyle habits,Tyrell said seniors can improve their brain health and fend off or

delay dementia.The exercises help build “cognitive reserve,” she explained. There are approximately 2,800 people in Burnaby living with dementia, according to a report from the City of Burnaby.That number is expected to double in the next two decades. “The baby boomers will all be over the age of 65 by 2031.That’s 13 years away and that’s a huge group of people, and dementia is on the rise,” said Tyrell. To register for the Bonsor workshop, call 604-6898609 by Oct. 20.

Yogis: Yoga is one way to maintain a healthy brain, according to Karen Tyrell, a dementia expert and consultant. Tyrell will be hosting a workshop at the Bonsor Recreation Complex (6550 Bonsor Ave.) on Oct. 26. PHOTO ISTOCK

Get ﬁt at Bonsor this fall By Tereza Verenca

Burnaby seniors looking to get off the couch can sign up for a new program starting on Oct. 10 at Bonsor’s 55+ Centre. Choose to Move is for people who have zero activity in their daily routine, but want to get moving again. Participants work one-onone with a coach to develop a personal plan that fits with their preferences and lifestyle. That doesn’t necessarily translate into going to the gym, according to Michelle St-Jean, a supervisor at Bonsor. “It can be simple things like ... instead of driving to

the grocery store, do you have something within reasonable walking distance?” she said.

That doesn’t necessarily translate into going to the gym The fitness program is six months long and includes a physical assessment.The first 12 weeks are spent with a coach for guidance, and participants also connect with their peers and coach once a month for support. Choose to Move is offered through the B.C. Rec-

reation and Parks Association, and theYMCA of Greater Vancouver, with the support of UBC’s active aging research team. “One reason why this program seems to work is that participants are choosing the activities,” said Amanda Frazer, one of the researchers, in a press release. “We know that when people can choose, they tend to focus on interests, and choose activities that fit within their budgets.” So far, Choose to Move has run in 23 communities across B.C. To register, call 604-2974588.There are 12 spots to fill so don’t wait too long. There is a $40 (plus tax) registration fee.

Communitynow Choose healthy routines during school days, nights DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

As the children in our communities settle into the rhythm and routines of a new school year, they begin with fresh notebooks, new pens and clean desks. The rest of us are adjusting to their new schedules for driving and mealtimes, but even if we aren’t students ourselves, the advent of autumn beckons us to renew and reaffirm our daily routines. We naturally fall into routines – repeated patterns of behaviour. In some ways it seems efficient.We grab the same cup of coffee on the way to work; check our emails and social media at any empty moment, and arrive home at the same time at the end of the day.We might follow routines because it is easier or expedient.We may continue routines simply out of habit.

Many families call this tradition with generations of children carrying on without question. As parents of returning students – or as adults responsible only for ourselves – we can embrace the start of this season to review and challenge our routines. Here are a few questions to get started. How are you eating? Unhealthy eating is fed by habit; healthy eating takes planning. When a doctor asks patients to count the number of times they bought prepared food in the past week, the answer can surprise everyone.We might take the drive-thru and eat on the run because we’re in a rush or because we’re simply hungry. Drive-thru should be less appealing now that eating in the car is considered distracted driving. How many of your meals are unplanned? When we leave diet to chance, we usually spend more money and consume

more calories, salt, unhealthy fat and processed food. The bathroom scale and your bank balance can give you clues. But before you over-deposit into both accounts, you could simply attend to how you physically feel when eating well and when you don’t. Watch out for those late dinners and high calorie snacks. I tell my patients what I tell my kids: planning for the next day reduces the morning rush and bad choices. Where do you waste your time? Students and busy grownups often feel that there’s not enough time in each day.We can’t add more hours, but we can save timeby not wasting it. Over the course of a typical day and week, keep track of how you use time. How many minutes do you spend on a tablet, smart phone or Continued on page 20

Get social

Time to reaffirm healthy habits Your attention will be better focused, and you’ll get more done in less time …

Depending on your neighbourhood, an afterdinner stroll or cycle is a nice way to spend an evening. Household chores count, too. Take a cue from our kids, review your routines, re-

affirm healthy habits and make a fresh start this season. As I dropped my children off when they were still in elementary school, I would give them three tasks on which they would report back at suppertime: learn something new; help someone else; and have fun. Now that my sons have graduated and are working and my daughter begins her second year in university, I still expect them to include these tasks in their daily routines.

Where in your daily life can you fit in more physical activity? We can walk and take the stairs when we can.

Ice dancers impress at Grand Prix Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Taking their ice dance on the road presented different challenges for a pair of Burnaby-based duos at last week’s International Skating Union (ISU) Junior Grand Prix in Minsk. Skaters Ashlynne Stairs and Lee Royer and Nina Mizuki and Veniamins Volskis entered the competition from opposite vantage points but exited having achieved some important goals, coach Megan Wing said. Stairs and Royer, seasoned veterans with four previous chances to represent Canada, posted the fourth-best mark at the Belarus-hosted competition and came within 16 points of the bronze with their best showing yet. For Mizuki and Volskis, the end game was to gain valuable experience in their debut with the Canadian team, and they did that by placing 12th overall. “(Stairs and Royer) were aiming top-five and potentially (medals), but we knew it would be a bit of a stretch,” remarked Wing, with elite competitors Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko of the U.S. leading a strong field. “They skated well in both portions (short and free dances) of the event. It was quite a strong competition, and I was quite pleased with their performance in both and I think they skated better than the previous event.” In both, Stairs and Royer finished fourth. Placing ahead of them for silver and bronze were Russian ice dancing teams Anastasia Skoptcova/Kirill Aleshin and Arina Ushakova/Maxim Nekrasov. Stairs, a Grade 12 student at Burnaby Central, and Royer improved on last month’s showing at the ISU Junior Grand Prix Cup in Austria, where they placed fifth. A year ago they finished seventh and fifth, respectively, at Grand Prix assignments in France and Slovenia. As Canadian junior silver medallists, the Alberta natives continue to show progression, which has coaches Wing and partner Aaron Lowe very pleased. “I think without us saying anything, every year they want to do better and do better.You made the junior world team last year and you want to do it again,” said Wing. “I think they also put expectations on themselves.We want to make sure they stay realistic, but they are not ones we have to push to work hard.They are pretty good hard workers.” The duo have skated together for nearly four years with Burnaby-based Champs International Skating Centre of B.C. The newer team of Mizuki and Volskis, meanwhile, faced an understandable bout of nerves before their first international audience.They stood ninth after the short dance, and placed 12th overall after the free dance. “They didn’t skate their best; they Continued on page 24

Humble, but driven to be No. 1 Mountain United’s under-15 boys aim to impress at next week’s nationals

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

What lies ahead for B.C. at next week’s Canada Soccer Toyota under-15 boys championship is the unknown. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, remarked head coach Nick Dasovic. His squad from the Mountain United FC has tackled the local rivals and are ready for the toughest tests in the nation. “I think the biggest challenges with youth soccer is keeping the team’s motivation up at 100 per cent, but I haven’t had any troubles with that with this group,” said Dasovic. “We’ve started our (2017/18) season already, but this has been a major focus for everyone.” That’s what happens when you win the provincial crown, as Mountain did in July by beating nemesis Fraser Valley 1-0 for the

u15 title. Zakiy Karim’s goal gave the EA Sports premier league club the win, avenging a loss the previous season. Mountain will launch the national tourney on Oct. 4 in Calgary against theYukon champions, with the other team in their pool Nova Scotia’s Halifax City. Drawing the majority of its players from Burnaby and the North Shore, this Mountain crew have been together, with a few alterations, since u13. Dasovic, who took on the coaching reins a year ago, said the boys have great chemistry. “They’ve known each other for years; we’ve got kids from Burnaby, North Vancouver, even Maple Ridge and there are no issues. It’s a real good group,” he said. “One of the things I like to talk about is humility, and the importance of being humble. My biggest motto is: we’re not here to breed good footballers, we’re

here to breed good people.” Dasovic said his own experiences – which include playing 63 games for Canada and playing in top international leagues in Croatia, France, Sweden and Scotland, and coaching the national u20 and u23 men’s teams – have

It’s a whole group of guys who expect the best ... prepared him for a variety of situations. Still, that first game of a national tournament is where adrenalin and nervousness can get the better of anyone. Having the boys prepared mentally and physically is one of a coach’s biggest jobs, he said. “These boys are well-versed with high-calibre game. A dozen

are from the high performance program, two or three are with the Whitecaps (development program). … It’s a whole group of guys who expect the best, and they know why we keep harping on the team concept.” While expectations are for the boys to return home with valuable experience and a positive memory, Dasovic said it’s also germane that a trophy is part of their goal, too. “I want them to leave with a great experience, but this is also soccer development, and a big part of that is winning. I’d think it’s important that they are aiming for a championship, as these boys don’t want to hear about just participating,” he added. The Burnaby contingent of the club are: Lucas Dasovic, Joshua Greco, Zakiy Karim, Jaden Manetta, Nicholas Momotani, Zachariah Thomas, and captain Simone Masi.

Steelers explode to bust four-game losing slump A container of goals was the only medicine for what ailed the Grandview Steelers – thankfully, that’s exactly what they got on Sunday. Looking to erase a four-game losing skid, the Pacific Junior B Hockey League club got at least one page turned with an emphatic 8-1 victory over the Langley Trappers. Led by Mateo Coltellaro’s two-goal, twoassist effort, Grandview flashed some of those offensive skills that carried them to last year’s semifinals. Head coach Stevan Matic is hoping it’s just the beginning. “We finally got some pucks by the goalies, we’ve been working hard on that but hadn’t had a lot of luck,” said Matic of an attack that counted just seven goals during the four loss-

es. “It’s great for the guys’ confidence because they have been playing well most nights and hopefully this is a sign that we are getting the ball rolling forward.” It also helped put a horrid 8-1 loss, suffered 48 hours earlier at the hands of Ridge Meadows, into the rear view mirror. On Sunday, the Steelers built up a 4-0 lead by the 25th minute, thanks to markers by Jordan Myers,Wiliam Hazell-Penaluna and Coltellaro, with two. After Langley scored midway through the second, Grandview closed it out with tallies from Cameron Luk,, Ian Prevost, Devan Purhar and Anthony Benevoli. That the scoring was well-distributed was another hopeful sign, noted Matic. “We played well, we had five men going

and created some good traffic in the other end, our offence moved the puck well and defence were distributing it,” he said. Matic said the lines are beginning to gel, including an all-rookie trio of Tomislav Zlomislic, Emerson Kostner and Hazell-Penaluna. “It’s a younger line but they’ve shown a lot of chemistry and work hard,” said Matic. The big addition this past week was the return of netminder Cale Dolan, who had pushed for a junior A job in Saskatchewan before rejoining Grandview as a second-year player. His work last season saw him go 7-0 with a league-best 1.00 goals against average. The Steelers pay a visit to Port Moody on Saturday, then host North Van on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

PRINGLE CRUNCHES HAT TRICK IN SFU WIN

Emma Pringle counted her first career NCAA hat trick to spark Simon Fraser University past Central Washington 4-2 in women’s Div. 2 soccer action. It was the first conference win of the season for SFU, as the visiting Clan erased an early 1-0 deficit on Pringle’s fifth of the season. The sophomore cashed in her second near the end of the first half. Burnaby’s Christina Dickson set up Emily Holt for the team’s other marker.

neat to see a new team tackle that first foreign competition, as well as all the experiences that come with representing Canada. “It’s very exciting for them.They get Team Canada jackets when they make the team and to see the pride – it comes in the mail – so Nina andVeniamins got them this year, they were wearing them every day and you see that excitement. It was pretty awesome,” added Wing.

Continued from page 23 were pretty nervous, shaky and excited, but that’s kind of to be expected,” said Wing. “It was an eye opener for them to see, ‘Oh that’s what they’ve been asking us to do.’ It’s always different when you’re at an international event – the standard you are looking for.” Both 16 years old and classmates at Burnaby Central, the pair gained valuable experience skating for Canada. Mizuki, originally from Japan, and Latvian-born Volskis continue to develop on-ice chemistry and build on last year’s fifth-place result in the novice category of the Canadian Tire national championships. Prior to turning to ice dancing,Volskis placed fifth as a pre-novice at the 2013 Skate Canada Challenge. “They struggled their first year, just with language and being young and not really knowing how to work with somebody else. Now they get along great and I hear they sit side-by-side in math class together, so there is obviously a friendship, a ca-

Fall Market Picks Up

HOME SALES* Attached Detached

MEDIAN SALE PRICE** Attached Detached

There were considerably more sales than the previous week, totalling 112 transactions – 84 attached home sales and 28 detached sales (registered as of September 25). That’s not a huge figure compared with regular fall market activity but it’s a leap from the 78 homes sold the previous week. What’s more, despite the increase in sales, total current home inventory (as of September 25) also rose, which shows

that even more new listings came on stream as sellers looked to take advantage of fall market activity. Out of the 84 attached home sales, 47 units, or 56%, went for over their asking price. A further 11 homes (13%) went for bang on their sticker price and the remaining 26 units (31%) sold under asking. Of the 28 detached home sales, however, just seven went for over asking price. Only one sale was for exactly list price, and the buyers of the other 20 houses were able to secure their purchase for less than asking.

It’s the genuine Indian flavours in all of our dishes, and using only fresh ingredients such as ginger, garlic or cilantro that leaves each customer wanting more.

The zesty and delectable smells of authentic Indian cuisine that tantalize those who love the ethnic cuisine is what brings fans of Agra Tandoori back over and over again. Then add an elegant contemporary Indian décor that is tasteful, sleek and comfortable, friendly service, reasonable prices and you have a restaurant with a winning combination. Specializing in Northern Indian cuisine, as well as in a nice selection of EastAfrican fare and some original new plates with a Western twist, this spot has been hailed as one of the best restaurants in the neighbourhood. Proprietor/chef Bob Sandhu has more than two decades of experience in the industry and purchased Agra Tandoori three years ago, growing the clientele every year. Sandhu says it’s the genuine Indian flavours in all of their dishes and using only fresh ingredients, such as ginger, garlic or cilantro that leaves each customer wanting more. Customers come back for Agra Tandoori’s mouthwatering signature dishes, such as the Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, Chicken Tikka and its succulent Samosas.

A couple of years ago, they introduced new Brazilian-style barbecues, grilled in a clay oven and it soon became a signature dish. Other standouts include the Tandoori Chicken and the Vegetable Thali. Loyal clientele also can’t resist the Naan bread, which come in a number of different flavours, including its signature garlic Naan. The popular eatery is also dedicated to the community that has supported them over the past few years. Sandhu donates his mouthwatering cuisine to local elementary schools at Christmastime and contributed $500 towards the RCMP Foundation, which supports programs for local youth-at-risk. The eatery is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. A full lunch buffet is offered on weekdays and dinner specials are availableThursdayto Sunday.Private parties of up to 60 people can be accommodated along with home party catering. To make a reservation, call 604-430-1600 or email: info@agratandoori.ca. To see the full menu, visit the website below. Agra Tandoori Restaurant #110 – 3790 Canada Way, Burnaby 604-430-1600
