Family pleads for return of stolen ashesScott Peters knows the thieves who

broke into his 80-year-old mother’sBurnaby home two weeks ago didn’t knowwhat they were taking when they grabbeda red plastic box off a dresser.

That box contained some of the ashes ofhis late father, Walter, a Korean War vet-eran who passed away two years ago.

“My mom came home, I guess she wasout shopping, and found out somebodyhad broken in,” said Peters. “But shedidn’t find out until the next night (thatthe ashes were missing) because she didn’tgo into dad’s room.

“I think she was in shock because shedidn’t even phone the police.”

While most of the ashes were kept in anurn – which was untouched in the robbery– the crematory couldn’t fit them all into

the urn and put the rest in a plastic baginside the red box.

No neighbours witnessed the July 22break-and-enter. The thief or thieves alsotook jewelry, coins and wine, but Petersdoesn’t care about those.

“We would just like the ashes back,” hesaid. “We’re not worried about the jewelryor anything like that.”

Peters hopes someone might find thebox, noting that a similar incident in

Alberta saw the return of a loved one’sashes.

“Even if they’ve dumped it on thestreet, maybe if somebody reads the articleand sees this little red plastic box, they’llknow what it is,” he said.

He noted that if the thieves still havethe box, they could return it no questionsasked and that he would not report themto police.

Labyrinth creates space for peace

Ellen Vaillancourt was drivingto work at Simon Fraser Universityin the fall of 2010, when she wasstruck by an idea – a labyrinth.

Vaillancourt, thecoordinator for SFU’sMuslim studies cen-tre, had picked up abook on labyrinthswhile visiting theChartres Cathedralsouth of Paris earli-er. The 13th-centuryGothic cathedral ishome to a 40-foot lab-yrinth, inlaid in thestone floor. Visitorsflock to the churcheach year to walk thecircular path in con-templative prayer.

Vaillancourt was fascinated bythe concept of using the labyrinthas artistic tool to work throughthoughts and feelings. Back inBurnaby, on the way to SFU thatglorious fall day, Vaillancourt

was struck by a vision.“There was this clearing in the

forest,” she says. “And I just gotthis massive vision for a laby-rinth, a walking labyrinth.”

The idea took hold andwouldn’t let go. She learned moreabout the subject, joined an inter-national community of labyrinthenthusiasts and organized vol-unteers and some funding to cre-ate the university’s first walking

labyrinth.After outlining the

path with field paintand some carefulmowing, the “peacelabyrinth” was carvedinto a grassy fieldnext to the StrandHall on the east endof campus.

On June 21, thesummer solstice,Vaillancourt held aspecial opening cere-mony, complete withdancing, candlelight,

poetry and a sun salutation.The SFU peace labyrinth is

modelled after the Chartres laby-rinth and uses a circular path thatloops back and forth, leading tothe centre. There’s no right orwrong way to use the SFU laby-

rinth, according to Vaillancourt.“You stand at the entrance,

step onto the path, and you putone foot in front of the other, andyou walk your way into the cen-tre,” she said. “And you get to thecentre eventually, and be recep-tive to what comes. And on theway out be reflective. If you’vegained some insight, how is itthat you can bring that out in the

world to effect positive change?”Vaillancourt’s hope is the laby-

rinth brings people a sense ofcommunity and peace in a worldfilled with emails and cellphones.

“(It’s) to find a place whereeverybody is welcome to just be,”she said. “It’s just a space to goand breathe.”

The labyrinth will be in placeyear round.

“I know they’re probably paranoidabout getting caught, but we’re not wor-ried about catching them,” said Peters. “Ifanybody finds them or somebody wouldlike to return them, we would be extreme-ly, extremely grateful.”

The box measures 7.5 inches by 4.5

inches, and the plastic bag inside is labelledwith his father’s name.

Picketing Burnaby teachers plan to staya thorn in the side of the school districtand its maintenance and building plansthis summer.

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association hasorganized weekly pickets since July 14,targeting high visibility schools, the boardoffice and the Schou Education Centre,which is undergoing major renovationsto convert it from a professional develop-ment space to an adult education centre.

“We have, in general, a supportiveboard,” local union president Rae Figurskytold the NOW, “but they are management,and we are kind of honour bound to do alittle something.”

Legally, any member of the local canpicket on any weekday at any schooldistrict site, she said, and it only takesone teacher to make a picket line thatCUPE secretaries, plumbers and carpen-ters won’t cross.

The only exception is the district’s main-tenance services yard.

The school board successfully applied tothe Labour Relations Board for an injunc-tion before July 14 to prevent teachersfrom picketing that site because no teach-ers work there.

“That hadn’t seemed to bother our boardbefore July was coming, but it apparentlybothered them afterwards,” said Figursky,referring to the 12 days in May and Juneher union had picketed the site.

How many people read-ing this column couldgo 20 weeks without a

paycheque, without seriouslydepleting your savings accountor cashing in a significantamount of RRSP funds?

I suspect not many could, butthat bleak scenario is preciselythe one facing many teachers inB.C. as the summer progresses.

The teachers were last paid inmid-June, or thereabouts. Theymay not see another paychequeuntil mid-October, unless theirunion moves significantly off itsbargaining position in contracttalks.

And, yes, I say “union” quitedeliberately. That’s becausethere is no way to pressure orforce the government to accedeto what the B.C. Teachers’Federation is demanding at thenegotiating table. This is not tosay that what the BCTF is ask-ing for is not warranted in somerespects. Teachers have made astrong and compelling case, forexample, that more funding isneeded to address issues such asclass composition.

Hiring more specialist teach-

ers, to pick just one area, wouldhave a huge and positive impacton many classrooms.

But for all the validity ofsome of the BCTF’s arguments(these don’t include the onesinvolving their demand for agreater benefits package), thereis no reason at all to expect theprovincial government to sud-denly fork over almost a quarterof a billion dollars, which iswhat the BCTF is seeking toaddress class composition.

I’m not the only observerto point out that in this pokergame, the government holds allthe cards. Not just the best cards,but all of them.

The government’s ability tolegislate an end to the disputeand to impose a new contractgives it the whip hand. TheBCTF may well challenge sucha move in court, but that willtake some time to play out if theunion chooses to go down thatroute.

The BCTF may eventuallywin that ongoing court caseabout contract language govern-ing class size (it has won in theB.C. Supreme Court, but thegovernment is appealing and apotential further appeal to theSupreme Court of Canada maymean this won’t be resolved forperhaps two more years).

So unless the BCTF leader-ship crawls back from the edgeof the cliff it has been sitting on

Paying parents won’t settle teachers’ strikeThe new plan by the province to pay

parents $40 a day per child for everyday the teachers’ strike drags on intoSeptember is not the worstidea in the world. Let’s face it,many parents need financialhelp with finding child care.

Of course, it would be better foreveryone – parents, teachers, govern-ment and especially kids – if the govern-ment was focused on actually ending thestrike.

It seems that the teachers were expect-

ing that the cash saved by the strikewould eventually be plowed back intoeducation in this province, at least par-

tially meeting their demandsfor smaller class sizes, bettersupport for special needs kids,and a salary bump.

So giving the money away might bepopular with parents in the short term.In the long run, it will likely be lesspopular if it stretches out the strike.That $40 per kid only goes so far.

It is nice to see that, after a month of

inaction, both sides are going back tothe bargaining table Aug. 8.

This time they need to stay thereand make peace, one way or another.Take the bargaining teams out fora Vancouver Canadians game and acouple of beers to make them friendlier.Buy a steel shipping container and lockthem inside in the hot sun until theycrack and compromise. Pay for a hordeof conflict-resolution experts.

At this point, maybe some marriagecounselling? The whole battle has

become so vicious it seems more like adrawn-out divorce than contract talks.

Our biggest question isn’t why arethe government and teachers still at eachother’s throats, but why did it take thislong to finally get everyone to comeback and start talking again?

Summer school may have been large-ly cancelled, but both sides in this dis-pute should still have their backsides inseats and their pencils sharpened. Keepthem there until they graduate to a newcontract.

SkyTrain washrooms problematicDear Editor:

Re: Mayor is out of touch, and Mayor is righton SkyTrain, Letters to the Editor, Burnaby NOW,July 2.

The first letter, “Mayor is out of touch,” is inregard to washrooms at SkyTrain stations. Publicwashrooms in our neighbourhood have a historyof being problematic as they have been used by IVdrug users and sex-trade workers. Discussion aboutwashrooms at SkyTrain stations has caused folks inour community to be particularly concerned abouta washroom at Royal Oak station being a potentialsite for not only drug use and sex-trade workersto clean up but also theft from/crime affecting

innocent passengers using such a washroom at astation that sometimes has few people and seldomhas SkyTrain attendants in the area. I know MayorCorrigan to have made every effort to becomeaware of the realities of activity at SkyTrain stationsand to stand up for and optimize efforts and prac-tices for the safety of Burnaby residents and visitorsthroughout our city, including safety on transit.

The second letter, “Mayor is right on SkyTrain,”supports our mayor’s disagreement on the pro-posed SkyTrain expansion. This letter ends with thefollowing paragraph:

“Incidentally, when the gates are installed, surelythere will be less requirement for police fare check-ers to monitor passengers. Can we therefore expect

a reduction in these staff members?”Police cannot ask an individual for ID

without cause to do so, therefore some-one not having a paid fare is a means bywhich police are able to request identifica-tion and therefore identify people who,for example, have outstanding warrantsor conditions that do not allow them onSkyTrain. Thus fare checking also servesa greater benefit that contributes to a safertransit experience.

I would invite those unfamiliar withthe realities of activity and policing onand around our transit system to visit theMetro Vancouver Transit Police website(www.transitpolice.bc.ca) and also to sub-scribe to their newsletter.

In addition to better understandingcriminal activity – such as bus driverassaults – and safety tips, the websiteidentifies the distance, number of vehiclesand physical locations Transit Police coverwhile working to ensure optimal transitsafety – 134 kilometres of rail, bus servicecovering 1,800 square kilometres (NewWestminster Police cover 15 square kilo-metres) on 200 different routes and 1,400buses per day, 57 SkyTrain stations plus anumber of bus exchanges and SeaBus. TheEvergreen Line will add 11 kilometres andsix more stations.

Transit police answered over 18,000calls for service in 2013. Even with faregates, the four priorities of the TransitPolice will not change. They are: 1) Sexualoffending 2) Frontline worker assault – busoperator assault 3) Dealing with peopleexperiencing mental illness or addictionissues and 4) Special events.

Even with the gates, the work of TransitPolice and these four priorities will tran-scend fare gates as Transit Police remaincommitted to public safety through theircommunity police model, and that includesthe function of fare checking.

Thoughts on Gaza warDear Editor:

Israel is digging its own grave. I believethere will be a reckoning and repercussionsfor how Israel has treated the Palestinianpeople over the last 50 years.

It is only a matter of time before terroristorganizations like Hamas and their alliesget a hold of dangerous weapons and mili-tary technology. Information spreads likewildfire in our world.

Anything can be put on the Internet orsent to anyone. It is in Israel’s long-termsecurity interests to make peace beforethey set the stage for their own destruc-tion.

Israel’s only real ally in the world – theUnited States – is in major decline. Thecountry is virtually broke. The U.S. andEurope could not even stop Putin frominvading and taking over Crimea, andRussia is not even a major superpoweranymore. The United States and the worldwere also essentially helpless in Syria.

I have many Jewish friends. In fact, oneof my best friends is Jewish. However, thisdoes not mean I support the actions of theIsrael government. Many Jewish peoplearound the world also do not support theactions of Israel.

One of my Jewish friends, however,stated that the Gaza War is an issue forIsrael and Palestine to deal with and therest of the world should not interfere. Idisagree with this premise. The citizens ofthe world have a duty to protect, support,advocate and protest the killing of inno-cent people everywhere.

The Jewish people should be more con-scious of this fact than others. The Jewishpeople themselves were the victims manytimes throughout history of people andcountries standing silently by and doingnothing when they were being persecutedor killed.

Make peace and not war. The IsraeliJews and Palestinian Arabs are first cous-ins born of the same people. Time to treateach other as such.

Teachers: Months without payfor months now, the onlyquestion is when will thegovernment impose thatcontract?

In past disputes, thegovernment has movedrelatively quickly to enda strike by teachers, usingthe legislature to do so.Not this time. The govern-ment now realizes it hasthe BCTF just where itwants it. For the first timeever, the union’s membersare paying a huge personalfinancial price for staginga strike. And the teachersare paying that price atthe worst possible time.The fact the two-monthsummer break has landedsmack in the middle of thestrike exacerbates the cashflow problems that canarise from going potential-ly more than four months

without an income.Government House

Leader Mike de Jong isadamant he won’t call thelegislature back earlierthan its Oct. 6 scheduledstart, just to impose acontract. His surpriseannouncement of a $40 perlost school day per studentrebate for parents wouldseem to buttress that point.

The earliest date for animposed contract to takeeffect would be Oct. 9 (ittakes a minimum of threedays to pass a bill intolaw). If teachers went backto work that day, presum-ably they wouldn’t bepaid for two more weeks.It all adds up to about20 weeks without pay.The unfortunate thing forteachers is that it is morethan likely the imposedcontract will contain prettymuch what’s on the table

now from the government,which means teachers willhave given up thousandsof dollars for nothing. Anegotiated deal is pos-sible: the two sides areclose on wage proposals,and if the BCTF staggeredits argument for fundingfor class composition overseveral years (instead ofall at once), dropped mostof its benefits demandsand agreed to put off anygrievances until that courtcase is ultimately settledone way or another, a dealmight be in sight.

It might not be totallyfair, but not many labourdisputes end up giv-ing everyone what theydeserve, and in this caseno one deserves to gowithout an income for 20weeks.

The weekly BTA-orga-nized pickets will continuethrough August, Figurskysaid, and individual teach-ers may also decide to pick-et sites spontaneously ontheir own.

The provin-cial governmentfuelled angeramong localteachers last week,whenitannouncedit would pay $40 aday for daycare oreducational pro-grams for everychild under theage of 13 if thelabour disputedragged out intothe school year.

One local elementaryteacher told Figursky that– at $40 a day – her 30 stu-dents would have nettedfour times her daily wageand she wouldn’t evenhave had to teach.

“It is, I think, also meantto be an insult to teachers,and we caught that reallyclearly,” Figursky said.

Burnaby school boardchair Baljinder Narang saidthe board is also troubledby the $40-a-day offer fromgovernment.

“It’s very troublesomebecause as a board ourexpectation is that thefocus would be completelyon a negotiated settlementcome September,” shesaid. “Don’t get me wrong,people do have to be real-

istic; they have to makestrategic plans; they haveto think of that, but I thinkthe government needsto be focused, both par-ties need to be focused onhard bargaining and reachthis negotiated agreement

before Septemberstartup.”

The province-wide teacherlabour dispute,which beganwith work-to-ruleaction in Apriland culminatedin a full-scaleteacher walkoutat the end of Junethat wiped out thedistrict’s summer

school program, has cre-ated a lot of uncertainty forthe upcoming school year,according to Narang.

“Nothing is regularabout this summer or endof school,” she said.

One glimmer of hope ata provincial level is that theB.C. Teachers’ Federationand B.C. Public School

Employers’ Associationhave agreed to meet Fridayfor their first bargainingsession since the end of theschool year.

Even if a settlement isreached by September,however, Narang said thedistrict will have its workcut out for it, both logisti-cally and in terms of pro-fessional relationships, tolaunch the school year suc-cessfully.

“We’re going to have todo a lot of rebuilding ofrelationships because wehave fractured relation-ships that have got to bebuilt again,” she said.

Isabelle and Ross Spence didn’t thinktwice about going into the restaurantindustry together.

After all, the husband-and-wife teampractically met because of food some 20years ago, when a young Ross was the chefat the Moustache Café on the North Shore,cooking up orders for a younger, Frenchuniversity student.

“I was 18 years old and I was here tolearn English,” said Isabelle, who nowruns the Chez Mémé Baguette Bistro inNorth Burnaby with Ross. “I was goingback home to France, and he was taking

a year off fromthe restaurantbusiness, and hedecided to comealong and visitme.

“He lovedEurope a lot andhe proposed andwe got married.”

But there’smore to theirlove story thana flight acrossthe Atlantic anda ring – Rosscooked at luxuryhotels and exqui-

site restaurants in Paris before the couplereturned to Canada and set up shop at thecorner of Robson and Jervis.

“My background is fine dining,” saidRoss, who went through the DubrulleInternational Culinary School of Arts, “butwhen we came back, we wanted to openour own place, something that was a bitmore simple.”

That place ended up being a crêperie inDowntown Vancouver named La Bretagne,after Isabelle’s home region of Brittany inFrance, where crêpes and galettes withbuckwheat flour are a traditional dish.

“It was a very small, quaint little place,”she said. “It was busy and it was fun, butthe rent was quite high.

“Our life was no life, it was just therestaurant.”

After six years and two kids, theSpences decided they’d had enough work-ing upwards of 12 hours a day, yet theystill shared a passion for rustic Europeanfood. They started looking for a new placeto call home and they found it in a smallrestaurant in North Burnaby.

“I remember him saying, ‘Oh, there’sthis restaurant for sale on Hastings,’”recalled Isabelle. “I’m like, ‘Hastings? Idon’t think I want to be on Hastings.’”

But once they realized the location

was in Burnaby Heights – as opposed toVancouver’s Downtown Eastside – theychecked it out and were blown away.

“When we saw this place, we fell in lovewith it,” she said. “We saw the kitchenand we said, ‘That’s a kitchen.’ When weworked at the crêperie, it was tiny.”

With a few helping hands, the two ofthem turned the eatery into something thatfelt like Grandma’s house – or, en français,Chez Mémé.

“When I was growing up, my momwould say, ‘Oh, we’re going to ChezMémé,’ and we knew we were going tohave some good food,” said Isabelle of theinspiration behind the name. “It was veryrustic and always good, not pretentious.

“You don’t need to be expensive to bea French restaurant. It can be very simple,back to the roots of what it is: the meat, thesauce, the cheese. And when you put themtogether, it makes it special.”

Chez Mémé serves up succulent sand-wiches, rich soups and to-die-for break-fasts (among other menu items) madefrom fresh foods bought locally from sur-rounding stores like the Red Apple Marketand Cioffi’s Meat Market & Deli.

“It’s an old-style community where it’sall personal owners, and they care abouttheir customers and want to know them,”said Ross of the neighbourhood. “A lotof them are second-, third-generation

The bistro, which is cel-ebrating its fifth anniver-sary this November, fillsup with regulars aroundlunchtime on weekdays.That’s because they’reonly open Monday toFriday from 8 a.m. to 3p.m., as well as brunch onthe second Saturday of themonth.

The Spences don’t run adinner menu, though theytried before and it didn’tgo over.

“Hastings just shutsdown at night,” saidIsabelle, adding that thecustomers who did comein for dinner preferred thebreakfast and lunch itemsas opposed to what was onthe dinner menu.

“Ross was like, ‘I’mnot making breakfast fordinner!’” she said with alaugh.

But people keep com-ing back to experience “theflashback,” as Isabelle putit.

“They eat something,and they have a flashbackof what their grandmaor mom used to make. Itmakes them feel good, andthey crave it.”

Being able to close in theafternoon affords Ross andIsabelle a less hectic life-style than most restaurantjobs, reinforcing their fam-ily values as a husband-and-wife operation.

“To be able to be athome at night and here inthe day is just fabulous,”said Isabelle.

“We don’t make a res-taurant to make money, wemake a restaurant to makea life,” added Ross.

“Now if we wantto make money,” saidIsabelle, “we need to havemore than one.”

It’s difficult to believe that August is already here.

Perhaps it’s the glorious sunshine we’ve had that has

melted the days together that makes us oblivious to

time passing.

I often find myself wondering where the days go, but

walking along the Heights reminds me of how fun and fast-

paced my summer with the Heights Merchants Association

has already been.

In the past two months, we’ve seen the excitement and

grandeur of Hats Off Day and the Giro di Burnaby bring

people up to enjoy the Heights and its charm.

The strength of this community is what has helped to

fuel our latest project.

In hopes of keeping that energy alive well into the

summer, the marketing team at the Heights Merchants

Association has created a new initiative to spread the

delight of the Heights.

This summer, we want to let people experience the

unique esthetic of the Heights, a place where heritage

meets the contemporary.

By reaching out to our generous merchants, the team

has created a weekly contest that highlights some of the

best that the Heights has to offer. We are very proud to

announce that our merchants’ and shoppers’ reception to

the very first #SummerOnTheHeights weekly contest has

been tremendously successful!

Each week, based on a theme that represents the

Heights, prize packs may be won through our social media

platforms (Facebook and Twitter). At the end of each week,

a random draw selects the lucky winner of that week’s

prize pack.

For details on how to enter, please visit www.burnaby

heights.com. There is so much that this neighbourhood

has to offer; so don’t miss out on this wonderful chance to

enjoy summer here on the Heights.

Follow us on social media with our Facebook and

Twitter pages at facebook.com/BurnabyHeights and twitter.

com/BurnabyHeights.

This summer has already been full of new things and

new people, and the warm and welcoming ambience of the

area truly makes the Heights a one-of-a-kind neighbour-

hood.

But don’t take my word for it, come on by and visit

yourself! We want everyone to experience life as it should

be (and maybe win some fantastic prizes along the way!)

communications assistant with the Heights Merchants

Association.

When you’re 24 years old, it’s hard

to know which direction to head.

That is, unless you’re Arianne Liu.

This Burnaby Central alum knew

she wanted to make a difference

in her community. Liu and Johny

Dyer are co-owners of DyerFit-

ness, located in the Heights.

Her dream began when both were

working at another ftness club.

They wanted to “give a little more

and decided to take a leap of faith,”

she explains.

The result was the two coming up

with the idea to open their own

ftness centre.

But, as with most dreams, it was

not an easy one to fulfl.

At the time, the two were believed

to be too young to run a success-

ful business. According to Liu, it

took them almost a year-and-a-half

before everything fell into place.

Finally, they found the right land-

lord, and DyerFitness was born.

Liu says DyerFitness is different

from other athletic clubs because it

is a hybrid gym. As Liu explains,

they teach both cross-ft and regu-

lar ftness classes.

The gym has something for ev-

eryone, all the way from lighter,

less intense workouts to Olympic

lifting.

But the staff at DyerFitness tries to

bring in an element of fun to work-

ing out as well.

According to Liu, the music inside

the facility is good, and all patrons

and staff are introduced to one

another.

This social aspect makes everyone

more comfortable.

Being a part of their ftness family

is incredibly helpful, Liu says.

She points out that it’s hard to

“push yourself to change if you

don’t have support” – and that’s

where DyerFitness comes in.

Furthering the desire to make a dif-

ference, the two co-owners believe

in giving back to the community.

Liu wanted to settle DyerFitness

in the Heights because she grew

up in the community and loves the

neighbourhood.

Not only that, it’s a reciprocal ar-

rangement. Liu sees that to make a

small business viable, it is impera-

tive to have support from the local

Leap of faith led pair to success

Leap of faith: Arianne Liu is a Burnaby Central alum who now co-owns DyerFitness in the Heights. She andco-owner Johny Dyer say their facility offers something for everyone.

community.

In turn, Liu and Dyer make going out to help others a

priority. Dyer launched a sponsorship program with student

football athletes at Notre Dame Regional Secondary School.

As for Liu, she has her own sponsorship program dedicated

to teenage girls. The initiative is for 10 students from Alpha

Secondary School and Notre Dame and focuses on improv-

ing self-esteem.

Liu believes that so many girls are told how they are to look

by the media, “we need more support for women.”

Seeing a need is one thing, but taking action is another. This

is part of DyerFitness’s success.

DyerFitness is located at 3972 Hastings Street, Burnaby.

Rainy day raises physics question for reader

Dear Tom and Ray:I’ve noticed something

while driving, and I want tofind out if it’s real or just myimagination.

While sitting at a stop-light during a light rain, agiven number of drops seemto hit my windshield. I turnthe wipers on and off to clearthem, say, every five seconds.

When the light changesand I pull away, it seems asif more drops are hitting thewindshield, and I need to

either turn the wipers on andoff more frequently or turnthem on and leave them on.My questions: Are more rain-drops hitting the windshieldwhile moving?

In effect, is the windshieldlarger as it travels throughnot only space, but time,making it gather more drops?Does the angle of the wind-shield have any effect? AmI imagining this in the firstplace?

I have considered pastingconstruction paper to ping-pong paddles and runningthrough a light drizzle, thencounting the drops. Writingto you seems easier.

I just need to get ananswer. It’s been bugging mefor years.

– TimTOM: We all carry bur-dens in life, Tim. Yours is

a particularly heavy one.We are happy to help.RAY: This is a verystraightforward calculusproblem, Tim, one that weare completely incapableof solving.TOM: But we do knowthat the answer is yes,your windshield does gethit with more raindropsper second if you’re mov-ing forward.RAY: The simplest expla-nation is that when you’removing, you are encoun-tering not only the rain-drops falling from rightabove you, but you’re alsointercepting some of theraindrops that would havefallen in front of you – onyour hood or in front ofyour car.TOM: Since you broughtup ping-pong paddles,

let’s work with that.RAY: Imagine you hunga bunch of ping-pongballs from the ceiling inyour garage to simulatea moment of a rain stormthat’s been frozen in time.So you have an even distri-bution of ping-pong balls– maybe they’re spacedone foot apart in everydimension.TOM: Now, if you parkyour car in the garage, acertain number of thoseping-pong balls will be incontact with your five ofthem.RAY: If this were a rain-storm, and those ping-pong ball drops werefalling at the rate of oneper second, you’d addanother five drops to yourwindshield every second– drops that are falling

straight down onto yourwindshield from the sky.You with me so far?TOM: But when you startto move forward, you’renot only getting those fivedrops every second thatare coming from rightabove you, but because ofyour forward motion, yourwindshield also is collid-ing with additional dropsthat would have fallen infront of your car had youbeen sitting still.RAY: You’re sort of add-ing a third dimension.You have the height andwidth of your windshieldto accept whatever rain-drops fall. But you’re add-ing “depth” by plowingthrough additional regionsof raindrops.TOM: It might be easier toimagine if you think of an

airplane instead of a car.Sitting on the tarmac,

the plane would collecta certain number of rain-drops on its windshield– just like your car would.But if it were flyingthrough that rainstorm at550 m.p.h., it would collidewith a lot more of thosedrops, right?RAY: Or to take it even astep further, imagine thatthe plane’s windshieldwere missing completely.In which scenario do youthink you’d get wetter?Sitting in that cockpitparked on the tarmacwhile it rained, or sittingthere as the plane flewthrough the storm?TOM: I think if I get on aplane and it has no wind-shield, I’m getting off andtaking the train.

Last March, Priestmanled Canada’s u-17 womento a quarter-final appear-ance at the FIFA women’sWorld Cup. “It’s an oppor-tunity to really assess theplayers selected for thefuture,” she added.

Two other players fromB.C. were also named tothe 18-player Canadiansquad.

Canada will also take onCuba on Saturday, beforerounding out group playagainst Haiti on Aug. 11.

All three Mountain FCgirls met in 2010 whileat the TSS Academy anddecided playing togetherwould be the best thing.

It proved a smartmove.

The girls played togeth-er at Cliff Avenue andthe Burnaby Girls SoccerClub, where they eventu-ally played Metro beforemoving up to MountainUnited FC in the high per-formance league.

“We definitely have a

chemistry. It made me feelbetter knowing B.C. kidswere there,” said 13-year-old Grosso of the identi-fication camp in Torontoheld in June.

“We were definitelyused to playing with eachother. It definitely helpedme out,” said Regan, a 14-year-old Grade 9 BurnabyCentral student, who wasconverted from midfield tothe backfield for Canada’snational team.

“It’s a new position forme. I’m usually a centralmidfielder. But they con-verted me to fullback forthe purposes of this team.It’s new and I can be reallycreative back there.”

Like her friends and

teammates, Regan is superexcited about the oppor-tunity to wear Canada’scolours in a continentalchampionship.

“It’s definitely going tobe different. I’m excitedabout representing mycountry, and it’s going tobe really exciting to seehow (other countries) playand what I can learn fromthose teams going for-ward.”

Off-field instruction hasalso been an eye-openerfor the girls with CanadaSoccer providing videos aspart of the preparation.

“I think it’s been reallyhelpful, especially witha new position,” Reganadded.

Gomez Hernandez,a 14-year-old PinetreeSecondary student, is alsoeager to find her way in thefast-paced environment ofinternational soccer.

“(Canada) likes a pos-session style – it’s reallyfast and sharp – you haveto be thinking real quick,but they want you to becreative, too.

“Our head coach) reallygets to us and inspires us.We all know what we haveto do,” Gomez Hernadezadded.

“It was crazy, I got theemail in the middle of thenight. It was a nice sur-prise to think that I wasgood enough to play onthe national team and to

keep going and play onthe senior team when I’molder.”

Regan agreed.“It’s great timing for us

being 14 and also play-ing up with some (19)99s,”Regan added. “It’s beingreally helpful and I’m real-ly excited about gettingstarted.”

But if the girls havetheir way, they’ll continuetheir climb up the soccerranks together.

“It would be sad tosplit up,” added GomezHernandez.

“I hope we can staytogether for a long time,but my goal is to come outa better player than whenI went in.”

Cutout for Caymans: Mountain FC’s Julia Grosso, seen in red in under-14 regular season action, is one ofthree friends named to Canada’s national team for the inaugural u-15 CONCACAF championships.

Lakers give win to Coquitlam in season ender

The Burnaby Lakers finishedtheir Western Lacrosse Associationseason with an 11-7-0 record fol-lowing a loss to Coquitlam inthe final regular season game lastweek.

The senior A Lakers lost 16-9 athome to the Coquitlam Adanacswho finished out of the playoffstied with Langley at 7-11-0.

Last season, Burnaby fin-

ished in third place with a 10-8-0record.

Burnaby will take on the third-place-finishing Maple RidgeBurrards in the opening game ofthe best-of-seven semifinal play-offs today (Wednesday) at the BillCopeland Sports Centre. Gametime is scheduled for 7:45 p.m.

New Westminster will travel toVictoria to take on the first-placeShamrocks in the other semifinalalso Wednesday.

The Lakers fell behind early

against the A’s, giving up thegame’s first goal to second starMatthew Dinsdale in the openingminutes, before eventual first star,Brandon Goodwin, kickstarted afour-goal Coquitlam rally mid-way through the period.

The A’s upped their advantageto 7-1 early in the second periodbefore Burnaby found its shootingrange.

But the Lakers were clearlynever in the contest.

Coquitlam struck three times

to open the final period andadded three more in a one-minutespan later in the period beforeGoodwin added his fourth goal ofthe game with two minutes left onthe clock.

Dan Lewis made 42 saves inthe Burnaby net in his first lossthis season.

Tyler Glebe got the start for theA’s and made 31 stops.

Team scoring leader DaneStevens led the Lakers with a goaland three assists.

There will be noMinto memories for theNew Westminster juniorSalmonbellies.

The junior A ’Bellies lostGame 7 of the B.C. JuniorLacrosse League best-of-seven playoff final 12-8 tothe Coquitlam Adanacsat Queen’s Park Arena onSunday.

Wesley Berg, the con-census junior A player ofthe year and the inauguralwinner of the Jack CrosbyTrophy as the B.C. play-off MVP, scored five goalsand added an assist onthe eventual game-winnerbefore a hyped-up crowdof more than 1,500 fans atQueen’s Park.

“He put the team onhis back and great play-ers can do that,” said NewWestminster head coachDan Perreault after thegame.

What was surprisingwas the turnaround fromNew West’s 13-6 victory inGame 6 in Coquitlam onFriday.

In that game, the visitingSalmonbellies jumped outto a 7-2 lead after the open-ing period, and Ontariopickup Eric Penney didthe rest, stopping 45 shots,including 19 in the finalframe, to chalk up his sec-ond straight win of the ser-ies.

But it was Coquitlamthat got the fast start onSunday, going up 5-1, fol-lowing Berg’s shorthandedmarker midway throughthe period.

New West closed thedeficit to two goals with anearly second-period flurryfrom Josh Byrne, JustinGoodwin and AnthonyMalcom’s second of thegame.

Connor Robinson alsogave the home team achance to come back witha diving shot from the leftcrease at the time buzzer toshave the gap to 7-5 late inthe middle frame.

“It’s disappointing,”said Perreault. “It’s theseventh game, the winnermoves on to compete forthe Minto Cup.”

Coquitlam will now facethe Calgary Mountaineersin a best-of-five playoff.
