If you’ve never heard of HippieMike, you probably don’t skate-board.

The dreadlocked skater, whosereal name is Mike Faux, is a famil-iar bearded face in the LowerMainland skateboarding commu-nity, having run Hippie Mike’sTour de Surrey – a five-date skate-board contest – over the last 10years. Now he’s expanding hisannual competition to other cit-ies with his first ever Supertour,and one of the stops is Burnaby’sBonsor Skatepark.

“I always heard a lot of kidstalking about the Tour de Surreyand not showing up,” he said.“They wanted to come and knewa lot about it, but it was difficultfor them to travel to Surrey.

“I figured if I brought the con-tests to where the kids are, that’s

going to make them feel like it’sless of a nuisance to travel.”

While the Tour de Surreyhad five dates, he’s starting theinaugural Supertour with three.The tour kicked off in July at

the brand new Cloverdale YouthPark, with Bonsor as the next stopon Saturday, Aug. 23.

“I’ve run competitions at thisskatepark before, but not for atleast eight years,” said Faux.

“This park’s a really good parkall around – it’s attractive to everytype of skateboarder, and it’salways busy.”

Faux picked Bonsor for itscentral location in the Lower

Mainland and proximity to theMetrotown SkyTrain station, butalso its versatility. There are sec-tions of the park that are suited

No school? City looks at extending day camps

Wheelteacher:HippieMiketeachesconfidenceon fourwheels.

With news that longtime mediatorVince Ready is wading into the educationdispute, it’s possible that classes will beginon schedule after labour day.

In the meantime, local organizations arepreparing for what may be an extendedstrike into the fall.

“We know that we’re probably goingto have to do something, but what exact-

ly that is, we’re not certain,” said DaveEllenwood, director of parks and recre-ation with the City of Burnaby.

The department runs day camps andspecialized programming through thesummer, and Ellenwood says some ofthose may be brought back in Septemberfor parents looking for activities for chil-dren who would otherwise be in classes.

“We’re discussing the possibility ofextended day-long activities, and we alsohave some drop-ins that will pick up some

of the slack,” he added.Ellenwood notes that they have auxilia-

ry staff and contract instructors that can bebrought in as required, but the challengecould be finding the space.

“The issue for us, if that happens, isavailability of facilities – many of thespaces at our community centres are usedduring the day for seniors’ programs.”

But, right now, it’s all wait-and-see, henotes.

“Of course, we’re not sure yet what

will happen. … We can probably reacton an ad hoc basis. There’s not a fullydeveloped plan because there’s so muchuncertainty.”

Ellenwood says parents hoping to makeplans can check out their local communitycentres closer to September, but that thefastest way to get information is throughthe city’s website (www.burnaby.ca) orthrough their social media accounts on

Nearly 100 Habitat forHumanity volunteers rolled uptheir sleeves on the weekendas they spiffed up the organiza-tions’s townhouse complex inBurnaby.

Weed whacking, fence stain-ing and pressure washing wereall on the chore list as the crewcleaned up the site at 8745Government St.

The cleanup was scheduledbecause the lot will soon behanded over to a strata council.

“We wanted to make sureeverything was clean, that thesoil was fresh, so that whencouncil takes possession, theycan start with a clean slate,” saidTim Clark, CEO of Habitat forHumanity Greater Vancouver.

No one who came out wasafraid to get his or her handsa little dirty. Speckled in paintfrom head to toe, you wouldnever know Genworth Canada’sSachin Varma wore a suit everyday as an account manager. Hecalled the experience – his fifth– very rewarding.

“We’ve had people come upto us telling us how gratefulthey are. It’s huge deal to getthose families out of bad homesituations,” he said.

Meanwhile,Carl Eden hasbeen lending ahand for morethan 20 yearsand said “it wassomething to do

to help people out” after retiringfrom the aviation industry.

Trish Fodor and ShawnCantwell – complete strangers– were first-time volunteers andwere partnered up to fix somestairs and build a fence.

“We’ve been a great team sofar,” Fodor said and Cantwelladded there was never a buttingof the heads.

Habitat for Humanity workson a case-by-case basis. Familiesapplying for a home must havea combined household incomebetween $35,000 and $60,000.Habitat must also determine ifthe living situation is poor due

to factors like an unsafe neigh-bourhood. Recipients also haveto complete 500 volunteer hoursbefore they can move in.

“It’s a very strict screeningprocess, but it works,” saidClark. “We’ve had families

live here for 15 or 16 years. Forsome, it’s their permanent home.For others, they may decide tobuy from the market.”

Clark said handing over thekeys to a new family alwaysbrings a smile to her face.

“They no longer have toworry about choosing to paytheir hydro bill over their gro-cery bill. Simple as that.”

Twitter and Facebook.Burnaby Village Museum has already

announced they’ve set up a series of daycamps in the event that schools are not insession.

Currently the camps are set up to runfrom 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with an extension to4:30 p.m. if needed, for the first two weeksof September.

Local community-based organizationsare also hoping for the best and preparingfor the worst.

At Burnaby Neighbourhood House,program director Sarah Shaw says theywill hopefully run their usual before-and-after school care programs as full-dayprograms.

“We will have our centres open, but thechallenge is if we’re allowed to access ourbuildings – our programs are all at schoolsin the district,” she said, noting that picketlines may affect their ability to use thosespaces.

“If we have access to them, they will be

running full days at our normal licensingcapacity.”

But without knowing for sure if thestrike will continue or the impact it mayhave on their usual child-care spaces, shesaid they’re not certain what will happen.

“We’re still figuring it all out. Until wehave definitive word, it’s likely to be lastminute to know either way,” she said.

Parents who use their programs havealready been calling in preparation forSeptember, she noted.

Local child and youth sports clubs andbusinesses may also set up day camps;the websites for the 4Cats Arts Studiosin both Capitol Hill and Burnaby Southalready feature a “teachers’ strike” button,though specific programming hasn’t yetbeen posted.

Last Wednesday, it was announced thatReady was meeting with both sides todetermine if mediation was possible. Theteachers and the employer have agreed tohalt public discussions while he is meetingwith them.

One of B.C.’s grandest andmost historic traditionsis up and running again,

but it’s not entirely clear howlong it can keep going.

I’m talking about the PacificNational Exhibition, a 17-daywhirlwind of entertainmentthat combines midway rides,livestock exhibitions, concerts,exhibits of all shapes and sizesand way too much food.

But the annual fair facesmounting pressures as time goeson.

It is essentially a throw-backto earlier times, when it was theonly big event in town. It beganas an agriculture fair, locatedon the distant outskirts of theyoung town of Vancouver (itseast side location was fairlyremote when it began in 1910).

Over the years, it evolved intoa major entertainment destina-tion and a significant culturalevent that celebrated the ideaof British Columbia itself. Foryears, school children in theLower Mainland got a majorprize with their final schoolreport card of the year: a freeticket to the PNE (this year, kids

under 13 get in free).And so for decades, the PNE

was a big deal. Visiting the fairwas a tradition for thousandsof families, who would arriveearly in the day and leave lateat night, exhausted from seeingand trying everything, from rid-ing the midway to watching theDemolition Derby, the Festivalof Forestry, livestock shows and,of course, eating in the FoodBuilding.

The famous Challenger Mapof B.C. was located there foryears, as was the B.C. SportsHall of Fame. This is where theannual Boat Show, Auto Showand Home Show got their starts.

The entertainment waslegendary. Huge stars appeared:Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, BobDylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Youngand, of course, The Beatles.

But, over the years, the PNEfound itself looking a bit aged,a corny piece of the past thatseemed overtaken by newer,faster and more varied forms ofentertainment. It had becomea period piece and its nostalgiccharm wasn’t enough to make itthe dominant event of the yearanymore.

Still, the fair has survived andthis year hundreds of thousandsof people will walk through itsgates, which is a testament to itsendurance and the widespreadpublic support for it.

However, recent years have

Preventing more dam breaks is vital next stepThe metaphorical dust is still settling

on the Mount Polley mine tailings pondbreach earlier this month.

Some 10 million cubic metres ofwaste water – plus another four millioncubic metres of sediment – poured outfrom the broken dam wallinto Hazeltine Creek, rippinga swath of broken trees alongthe way to Quesnel Lake andforcing a temporary drinkingwater ban in the region.

The how and why is still up in the airas engineers, the mining company, staff-

ers and hordes of experts and politiciansweigh in (and, sometimes, point fingers)on how such a thing occurred in the firstplace.

The bigger question, perhaps, is:how likely is this to happen again, else-

where? And what can we doabout it? The priority mustnow be to figure out (quickly)the cause, and root out anysimilar problems at other such

facilities before the same thing happensagain – and potentially causes worseenvironmental damage or loss of life.

So we have to give kudos to the gov-ernment after hearing today’s announce-ment from Minister of Energy andMines Bill Bennett that two reviews willbe carried out in response to the damfailure: first, that three independentexperts will investigate the dam breachat Mount Polley mine and, second, thatall mines with tailings dams will berequired to have independent expertscarry out reviews of their facilities andsubmit their findings to the government.

Media reports over the last week havenoted that routine inspections at mines

in B.C. are significantly lower than theywere in 2001, the year the B.C. Liberalswon a landslide election.

We hope that while all these inde-pendent investigations on Mount Polleyand other mines are being carried out,Victoria takes a moment to “investigate”itself and reconsider the frequency ofinspections it carries out. Another damfailure could be a massive environmen-tal disaster, and deadly to boot. But notworking hard enough right now to pre-vent such a thing will surely prove to bea political disaster, too.

Protect the PNEbefore it’s lost

Health care is under attackDear Editor:

A little known, jaw-dropping case before the B.C.Supreme Court is coming up in September.

If we (the public) lose, it could erase our Canadianpublic Medicare and replace it with a U.S.-style two-tier health-care system. It is being called the mostsignificant constitutional challenge in Canadian his-tory.

So significant for all of us that it is like thinkingthe unthinkable. How can that be! Are we really atrisk of losing our public health-care system in 2014?

The attack is driven by Dr. Brian Day, ownerof a Vancouver for-profit Cambie Surgery Centre.Dr. Day claims that the defining principle at the

heart of Canadian Medicare “that health services beprovided according to patient needs, not their abil-ity to pay” is unconstitutional, claiming that theserules violate the Canadian Charter of Rights andFreedoms.

Dr. Day has been exposed by a provincial auditfor unlawfully billing both taxpayer and patient formoney.

In one case, a patient was billed $7,215 for ser-vices that would only have cost $1,288.04 in theB.C. health-care system. Auditors also found over$66,000 in overlapping claims evidence of doubledipping for the same service. In 30 days of billing,it was found patients were unlawfully extra-billed$491,654.

However, some people believe that hav-ing more private for-profit clinics wouldrelieve the public system and improvewait times.

Evidence shows that when for-profit-delivery becomes part of the health-caresystem, it results in longer wait times forcare. We know that doctors and nurses aredrained from the public system to the for-profit system.

Think about the consequences if Dr.Day wins this case against the B.C. govern-ment’s provincial health legislation thatlimits the for-profit delivery of medicalnecessary services. The public system thatCanadians rely on and overwhelminglysupport will be dismantled across thecountry.

That is why the B.C. Health Coalitionand Canadian Doctors for Medicare havejoined this case as interveners.

Keep perspective on mineDear Editor:

I fail to understand why special inter-est groups continue to sensationalize theMount Polley mine incident. Yes, a damfailed and thousands of litres of water andmud knocked out a swath of trees.

However, the water was not toxic asmany claim and, from my understanding,the mixture contains minimal amounts ofnaturally occurring minerals, metals, rock,sand, silt and mud.

Yes, the site looks horrendous. But it’snot unlike any other naturally occurringmud slide that happens regularly.

Thankfully no one was hurt or injured,and the water tests continue to confirm thatthe water is fit for human consumption.

There is every reason to expect that ina year natural vegetation re-growth willrender the incident almost undetectable.

Yes, we need to find out why this hap-pened and do what we can to ensure that itdoes not happen again.

But I am not going to let all the “anti-everything” alarmists suggest that we shutdown an industry so many families rely on.Instead, let’s make it better.

Donald Leung, Burnaby


Case has big implications

seen the emergence of allkinds of neighbouringcommunity-based festi-vals and celebrations andthey pose direct competi-tion to the PNE.

While there’s nothingwrong with commun-ity festivals, the fact thata number of them areseeded with municipalfunding sets them apartfrom the PNE, which doesnot receive a subsidy fromB.C. taxpayers.

And this raises thelegitimate question ofwhether the PNE shouldqualify for a financialsubsidy from the City ofVancouver (which is theowner of the PNE) or theB.C. government, if that’swhat it takes to ensurethat it survives down theroad.

The PNE’s financialsituation can be precar-ious: too much rain dur-ing the 17-day run of thefair can spell disaster, ashappened several years

ago.If the PNE fair were

to one day disappear, itwould be a major hit tothe economy of MetroVancouver. The PNE isthe largest employer ofyouth in all of B.C. andmany young workerswho work the fair makeenough money in a shortperiod to pay for a bigchunk of their post-sec-ondary education. (I wasonce one of those kids,having worked 10 con-secutive fairs some timeago.)

The PNE itself esti-mates it contributes about$140 million to the econ-omy every year.

That includes about $25million in taxes and $50million in wages. As well,about 25,000 people fromoutside Metro Vancouvervisit the fair and stay anaverage of three nights inhotels and motels.

That’s a lot of economicactivity, and it cannot beallowed to disappear.

To be clear, the PNE

board is not asking forfinancial help from anylevel of government, atleast not yet.

But it’s important tonote the PNE fair is theonly major fair in NorthAmerica that doesn’treceive a generous tax-payer-funded subsidy.

The organizationreports a modest financialsurplus every year, butattendance at the fair hasdeclined three straightyears (from 962,000 in2010 to 712,000 last year).

Of course, attendancefigures can be looked atin a glass half-full way:attracting more than700,000 customers is still asign of impressive publicsupport.

So visit the fair. Try towin a house or a car. Ridethe roller coaster. Don’tlet B.C.’s greatest annualcelebration disappear anytime soon.

for all types of skateboarding – street, parkand vert – and all skill levels.

The Supertour has categories for begin-ner, intermediate and advanced skaters, aswell as a mini category for youngsters anda girls only contest.

“We try to put all the girls out theretogether so that they can feed off each otherand have a good time,” said Faux. “Mywife’s skateboarded for half her life and Ithink that encourages other young girls toget out there and do it too.”

The reason Faux organizes these contestsyear after year isn’t just to promote skate-boarding in B.C. – it’s to instill confidence inyouth that they can carry into other aspectsof life like job interviews.

“We want the generations of skateboard-ers to continue to grow,” he said. “Whenyou’ve got kids in the mini category 10 orunder going in front of the crowd, that’s

huge for their whole life. It’s just a reallyimportant part of growth.”

Faux also uses the contests to teach youthabout charitable causes by requiring eithertwo food items or a $5 donation for localfood banks to gain entry to his contests.

“When I first started Hippie Mike’s Tourde Surrey, I didn’t want it to be a free event,”he said. “I want kids to feel the value oftheir entry and respect all the prizing that isbeing donated. But at the same time, I don’twant their money, so I decided to link to thefood bank societies.” Prizes in all categoriesinclude skateboard decks, clothing, hatsand shoes, among other items.

Looking to expand next year, Faux said,“Once people start coming, they’re justgoing to keep coming, and it’ll be anotherdecade of awesomeness.”

Hippie Mike’s Supertour stops at theBonsor Skatepark on Saturday, Aug. 23 atnoon.

A seemingly motiveless attack at a busyBurnaby intersection has police asking forthe public’s help in tracking down thesuspect.

On Aug. 8 at 10:20 a.m., a woman waswalking east on the south side of Kingswaywhen an unknown man allegedly stabbedher with a needle while she waited at a lightat McKay Avenue, stated a press releasefrom Burnaby RCMP.

The victim reported the incident to offi-cers at the Southwest Community PoliceStation an hour later. She was taken tohospital and released a short while later,the release added.

“While the nature of this incident isa significant concern for police, it is alsohighly unusual. As of today, we’ve hadno other reported incidents,” InvestigativeServices Officer Insp. Bob Page said in therelease.

Investigators are now asking for thepublic’s help in identifying the suspect inthe allegedly unprovoked attack.

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned man about 35 years old and 5-7with short, dyed blonde hair. At the time ofthe attack, he was wearing a light blue tanktop, dark jeans and carrying three shoppingbags.

Anyone who can identify the suspectis asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at604-294-7922.

A spike belt was all it took for policeto apprehend an alleged car thief fromBurnaby last month.

According to a press release from theNew Westminster Police Department,patrol officers spotted a blue VolkswagenJetta at about 2:40 a.m. on Tuesday, July 15.The Jetta had been reported stolen from alocation in Langley several days earlier sothe officers began tailing the vehicle, with-out sirens or lights.

Police followed the vehicle over thePattullo Bridge where waiting officersdeployed a spike belt, deflating two of thevehicle’s tires, according to the release.

Despite driving over the spike belt, thesuspect attempted to flee from police butthe damage to the tires was too great and

the vehicle was forced to pull into a shal-low ditch at 132nd Street and 112B Avenuein Surrey.

“Dealing with stolen vehicles can be avery high risk activity,” said Staff Sgt. PaulHyland in the release. “We are pleased thatthis incident was brought to a safe conclu-sion by our members, who were able todisable the vehicle and take the suspect intocustody while minimizing the risk to thepublic, the police and the suspect herself.”

Burnaby resident Phyllis Louise Clark isnow facing five charges, including posses-sion of stolen property, flight from a policeofficer, dangerous operation of a vehicle,driving while disqualified and possessionof a controlled substance.

More than 260 Canadians withdisabilities have entered the work-force over the last year thanks to aBurnaby-based non-profit.

The Neil Squire Society launchedits Working Together Program lastyear, after being awarded an $8.8million contract under the federalgovernment’s Opportunities Fundfor Persons with Disabilities.

Working Together providesemployers with up to $30,000 insubsidies to pay the wages of a per-son with a disability for a minimumof six months and a maximum ofone year.

Employers also get ongoingsupport and work-site adaptationsfrom the Neil Squire Society to helpaccommodate the needs of their

new employees.The Working Together Program

is designed to make a business casefor hiring people with disabilities– like the fact that the majority ofpeople with disabilities have somepost-secondary education, staywith their employers longer thanmost employees, and take less sicktime.

By connecting candidates withthe appropriate skill sets to the rightemployers, the Working TogetherProgram also aims to create a moreinclusive workforce.

Since last August, the programhas served 503 clients, with 262securing employment and manymore still looking for opportunitiesto work.

Police seek fraud suspectA 38-year-old man of no fixed

address is currently wanted byBurnaby Mounties on fraudcharges following an investi-gation into a string of identitythefts.

According to Burnaby RCMP,the department’s communityresponse team began an inves-tigation earlier this year into astring of identity thefts, whichtook place in Burnaby and acrossthe Lower Mainland.

In May, the team receiveda complaint that a suspiciouspurchase had been made at acomputer store at Metrotownmall. Police allege the suspectpurchased several iPhones withsomeone else’s credit card andthen used another credit card torent a car.

Over the course of the inves-tigation, officers determined thatthree individuals com-mitted the offences,which were reportedin Burnaby, Richmond,New West, Langleyand Squamish, accord-ing to a release from theBurnaby RCMP.

Eventually, the inves-tigation led police to ahome in Squamish. Asearch warrant was exe-cuted, and police seizedabout 200 stolen credit cards, B.C.drivers’ licences, cheques, wills,firearm licences, immigrationpapers and utility documents.Investigators believe the itemswere stolen from homes andmailboxes, the release added.

Shawn Lundrigan, 33, andKimberly McSweeney, 22, bothSquamish residents, were arrest-

ed and released until their nextcourt appearance in Vancouver

court on Sept. 18. Bothaccused face multiplecharges, including iden-tity theft, possession ofstolen property under$5,000, and personationwith intent to avoidarrest.

A third suspectremains at large. PaulHebert, 38, is wantedby the Burnaby RCMPon one count of identity

theft and two counts of fraud.Hebert also goes by Michel Hebertand Robert Moore, according toCourt Services Online.

Anyone who sees Hebert orknows where he is is asked tocall the nearest police departmentor Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Is today just anotherday? And tonight afterit has passed, will it be

forgotten?Is it a day in the way?

That’s a countdown daythat you just want to getthrough because it standsbetween you and whatyou anticipate – a specialday in the future, a holi-day or the weekend.

In the trance of every-day life, we can get caughtup with nonstop activity,endless goals and distrac-tions. We lose sight ofwhat matters most, and wecan forget a simple truth.

Every moment is pre-cious and every day a gift.

When they were young,I taught my children toframe each day.

Before they rolled out ofbed, I asked them to say aprayer of thanks, consider-ing all the good in theirlives, especially the peoplethey loved. By beginningthe day with their cupshalf full, they would bemore inclined to see thepositive throughout eachday, and when their cupswere full, they would bemore likely to share andgive.

Again at the end of eachday, at suppertime and atbedtime, they would recallthe gifts of the day: whatthey enjoyed, what theyreceived and what theygave.

This summer, my kidsare asleep when I leave thehouse and they’re awakewhen I go to bed. I nolonger keep track of theirprayers, and I wonder ifthey like most grownupsand teens have becometoo busy to frame theirdays and measure theirmoments day by day.

Most physicians experi-ence a nearly constantpressure of time. Whilelooking after our patients,there are always compet-ing demands on our time.And outside of clinicaltime, we may be on call,attending endless commit-tee meetings or managinga perpetual pile of formsand reports.

I must confess thatevery one of my days– like an overstuffed suit-case – is packed with activ-ity. I sometimes judge theday by how much I haveaccomplished: A good dayis a productive day.

But none of us shouldwait until the next holiday,retirement, or the end oflife to wake up and liveeach day. We should begin– and continue – with theend in mind.

To not waste a day doesnot mean to pack it full ofactivity. We waste this dayby not being fully awake.

What gives your lifemeaning? Are you awaketo the experience of beingalive – tasting, touching,breathing, feeling?

What are your greatestgoals? What are you doingwith your time?

What are you doing thisday to take one small stepin the direction of yourdreams? Today are youtalking to the people whomatter most? Are you fullypresent in the presence ofothers? The measure ofeach day is like the meas-ure of our lives, and theunit of measure is love.

How have you sharedlove this day? Be graciouswhen receiving it. Be gen-erous in expressing it.

Don’t let this day slipby as another blur of time,another square on thecalendar or another count-down day. Make it count.

Dr. Davidicus Wong isa family physician at thePrimeCare Medical Centre.His Healthwise columnappears regularly in thispaper. See davidicuswong.wordpress.com for more.

Don’t wasteanother day

North Vancouver Coun.Mike Little will get the firstcrack at the new BurnabyNorth-Seymour riding forthe Conservatives in thenext federal election.

Announced Monday,Little was selected by theparty for the nominationbased on his political back-ground as a three-termcouncillor for the district.

“I have been on the boardof the local Conservativeriding association since1999, so council has cer-tainly given me a lot ofexperience along the way,but I have been interested

in federal politics for a longtime,” he told the NOW inMay.

Little, who lives on theSeymour side of the riding,has worked in Burnabyand said he is familiar withthe issues in the city. Henoted that Burnaby has alot in common with theNorth Shore.

“We share the water-ways and we have lots ofagreements regionally thataffect both Seymour andBurnaby through MetroVancouver, we share theSecond Narrows Bridge,for better or worse, andso I do see a lot of con-nections in our areas andI don’t think it will be a

problem getting to knowthe community better thanI already do,” he said.

HisconcernsforBurnabyinclude disaster prepared-ness and response, improv-ing healthcare and internetsecurity.

Little will run againstthe Liberals’ Terry Beechin the next federal elec-tion, tentatively scheduledfor Oct. 19, 2015. The NDPhave yet to select theircandidate for the riding,but have two politicans –Trevor Ritchie and MichaelCharrois – vying for thenod.

16 PBL pitcher named MVP 16 SS helps Jays to title 16 NBBC boxers to nats

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • [email protected]

Burnaby bumped by burly BurrardsThe Burnaby Lakers won’t

be going to a Western LacrosseAssociation final for a least onemore season.

The senior A Lakers lostGame 6 10-8 to the Maple RidgeBurrards at the Cam Neely Arenaon Saturday and were eliminatedin six games in the best-of-sevenWestern Lacrosse Associationsemifinals.

“It’s definitely disappointing.Nobody is happy, but all you cando is take this and learn from it,”said Burnaby head coach RoryMcDade. “The guys worked hardand hopefully learned a lessonabout discipline and playingthrough difficult things.”

After coming back to eventhe series at 2-2 early last week,Burnaby fell behind for a secondtime in the semifinals followinga lackluster 10-7 loss at home onThursday. The Lakers were out-shot 42-35 in a game Maple Ridgeappeared to control for the mostpart.

P e n a l t i e scost the Lakersdearly in thecontest, withthe Burrardsmaking goodon five of nine

opportunities on the extra man.InMapleRidge,ShaunDhaliwal

tied the game 3-3 in the open-ing minute of the second periodand team scoring leader DaneStevens gave Burnaby a 5-4 leadmidway through the frame beforethe Burrards stole the momentumaway with a three-goal run.

Ben McIntosh knotted the con-test before Brandon Bertoia andCurtis Dickson, who returned tothe Maple Ridge lineup in Game5, both scored approximately half-a-minute apart.

“That was a really big turningpoint in the game,” said McDade.“(Maple Ridge) played toughdefence and it got even tougher inthe playoffs.”

The Burrards increased theirlead to 10-6 with three more goalsin a four-minute span to start the

final period.Dickson was the game’s first

star with three goals and threeassists.

Burnaby junior A callup PeytonLupul was also named a gamestar, registering a four-goal gamein his WLA playoff debut, includ-ing a first-period hat trick.

“He’s definitely a good kid andit was definitely a special momentfor him,” said McDade, who willhave to answer some tough ques-tions over how his team performedthis season and in the playoffs.

Burnaby, who had the league’sbest power play and strong spe-

cial teams during the regular sea-son, failed to produce at even nearits potential in the playoffs.

The power play sputtered to ameager 27 per cent and its pen-alty kill was just slightly over 50per cent, despite four shorthandedcounters.

The Lakers also had just oneplayer who averaged more thanthree points per game in the six-game semifinal.

“I think with the additionswe made, we definitely shouldhave been (better). But no (Matt)Beers and no Ilija (Gajic) definitelyhurt,” McDade said. “I think we

have to address what players arefitting in and what don’t.”

Clearly the Lakers’ back end isan area that needs an immediaterefit.

“When you lose to a team thatpushes you around a lot, you mayneed more muscle. But we’ll talkabout that,” McDade added.

Maple Ridge will advance tothe WLA final for the first timein more than a decade against theregular season champion VictoriaShamrocks at the Q Centre inVictoria on Wednesday. Game2 of the best-of-seven series isFriday at the Cam Neely at 6 p.m.

The Blue Jays shortstopsealed North Delta’s 2-1 victory over the NorthShore Twins Carson Ho ofAlpha and Steven Morettoof Notre Dame in the play-off final throwing the bat-ter out at first base on aroutine ground ball to endthe final inning.

“It was my first pro-vincial championship inPBL,” said Naidu, whoalso won a provincial andWestern Canadian titlewith Burnaby Minor in hisfirst year of peewee ball.

Naidu, who is goinginto Grade 12 at CaribooHill this fall, finished theprovincial tournament bat-

North Delta also ekedout a 2-1 win over theNanaimo Pirates to keepits perfect record intact.

“We had some reallybig hits at the end of thegames. One was a walkoff(single). Alex Davis got thehit,” said Naidu.
