Q

Clients may want to add ordelete a person from the title oftheir home for mortgage quali-fication purposes or personal

reasons. In most cases they are lookingto consolidate their debts by refinanc-ing their homes. It depends on who you

are adding or deleting. If you add or delete a spouse or parent/child then you do not have to pay if they are first time home buyers.How much property transfer tax you will pay will depend on whatpercentage of ownership.You may choose to only transfer 1 percentownership to a person they are adding on title to minimize thetransfer tax. Every property and situation is different so the best thingto do is to consult with your notary or lawyer handling your refinancedocuments.

A PAF has two parts: 1. Preplan-ning is making wishes knownregarding final arrangements.This includes reflection of what

is important, recording the wishes andsharing them with loved ones so theyhave a blueprint of what you want. Whensomeone passes away and no pre ar-

rangements have been made, many questions are unanswered. Thisis especially true when everyone is grieving and overwhelmed anddecisions have to be made quickly. Preplanning costs nothing andrelieves emotional burden. 2. Prefunding is the process of fundinga funeral arrangement. All agreements are insurance backed anda special Dignity Goods and Services Agreement guarantee costsare frozen at today’s prices. This eliminates financial burden. Onecan preplan without prefunding.

V ibrant, dynamic, andever so diverse is mydescription of Burna-

by’s housing market. Here isa quick look at some of themost exciting trends through-out our city and homes.

1. Positive government moves- Effective Feb 16th, wewelcome the changes to theProperty Transfer Tax (PTT) toimprove housing affordability.The PTT exemption for new

homes up to $750,000 will help provide opportunitiesfor home ownership.

2. Downsizers can play this game too - Baby boomersare cashing in and taking advantage of the potentialbidding wars on the home they’ve owned for morethan 30 years. It’s time that developers make a con-scious effort to build condos that satisfy middle-classboomers. The specific needs for this demographiccommands larger living rooms, functional kitchens,and extra storage space.

3. Making your home smarter than ever - Combiningentertainment and a smart home system right at yourfingertips is becoming increasingly popular. Connect-ing an automation system to fit your lifestyle such ascontrolling the lighting system to make your houseappear occupied while you are away can be doneall on your phone or IPad.

4. Walk, bike, or ride your neighourhood - When youlive in such a centrally located, pedestrian-friendlycommunity, it’s easy to get around without evergetting behind the wheel. Brentwood Town Centre,Lougheed Town Centre, Metrotown, and the Edmondsarea is re-defining what work, live, and play means;creating a neighbourhood that the community wouldbe proud of and give future residents a true sense ofplace rather than just a collection of buildings. Mixeduse buildings such as combining residential with retailand services at ground level like Metrotown’s StationSquare or market rentals like The Amazing BrentwoodOne or a more creative blend like Sovereign with ahotel chain has gained a positive response.

While it’s unrealistic to expect this high price growthto sustain itself forever, it does reflect the strength ofthis very localized and buoyant marketplace.

With many new and inspiring homes being built in theLower Mainland, let the West One Real Estate Teamhelp you find the perfect fit.

What are the benefitsof wearing two hearingaids?

604-434-2070#205-5066 Kingsway, Burnaby BC,V3H 2E7

The answer to this questionvaries from one individual tothe next and only a proper

diagnostic hearing test will determinewhether you should be wearing oneor two hearing aids. The majority of the

population however would benefit from wearing two hearingaids. There are several important reasons to consider wearingtwo hearing aids versus one hearing aid. They include; bet-ter hearing in noise, the ability to localize sounds, more clarity,prevention of auditory deprivation, and ease of listening andbalance. We are born with two ears for all these reasons. If youhad problems seeing clearly from both eyes, would you wear amonacle?

WillBurnabygetsomenewfedco-ophousing?JenniferMoreaujmoreau@burnabynow.com

The federal governmentcould be getting back in thehousing game for the firsttime in decades, and theremay be some new units builtin Burnaby.

Terry Beech, the Liber-al MP for Burnaby North-Seymour, said his party willlikely make good on electionpromises to reinstate fundingfor co-op housing subsidies,repair old buildings and cre-ate new units.

“We committed to renew-ing current co-op agree-ments in the platform. I be-lieve we are going to followthrough with that,” Beechtold the NOW.

When and how the Liber-als will deliver is still unclear.

In the meantime, Beechhas asked Burnaby for ahousing inventory to makesure the city gets its “fairshare” of infrastructure fund-

ing.Beech said Burnaby is also

putting together a list of po-tential sites (on municipal,provincial and federal land)for new buildings.

“We’re talking about build-ing new units, refurbish-ing (old) ones, and support-ing Housing First initiatives,where we try to help thehomeless find stable housingin order to deal with a pleth-ora of other issues that stemfrom not having sustainablehousing,” Beech said.

When pressed for detailson any new housing projectsfor Burnaby, Beech couldn’tsay much.

Thom Armstrong, execu-tive director at the Co-op-erative Housing Federationof B.C., said building newhousing would mark a “hugeshift” for the feds.

“To somehow be investingin the creation of new co-ophomes would be a very, verysignificant shift in housing

policy, because … the federalgovernment has maintainedthat the provincial govern-ment is wholly responsi-ble for taking the lead in thehousing field,” Armstrong

said. “If that’s the case, howdo we make sure the two lev-els of government coordinatetheir investments so they getthe biggest bang for theirbuck?”

The federal governmentgot out of housing in the ear-ly 1990s, when funding tobuild new homes dried up,along with the network of af-

fordable housing builders.Armstrong is hoping to seehousing funding available inthe March 23 federal budget,but he’s worried coordina-tion may be lacking.

“If they don’t coordinatethose strategies, it will just bea huge wasted opportunity,”he said. “Housing has alwaysbeen the most complicatedjurisdiction to roll out.”

There are 23 housing co-ops in Burnaby, comprising1,748 households.The feder-ation estimates 32 per cent ofB.C.’s co-op units get extramoney from the federal gov-ernment, delivered througha variety of programs to helpcover the cost of rent.Thoserental subsidies are now run-ning out.The last agreementis set to expire in about 2025,but the lion’s share will endin the next five years, withthe peak being next year.

Greensspent$104,104onfedcampaign

It appears the GreenParty was all in when itcame to one of its morehigh-profile candidatesin last fall’s federal elec-tion, only to come upshort.

Burnaby North-Sey-mour Green candidateLynne Quarmby spent$104,104 on her cam-paign, while receiving anear identical $104,935from the party in trans-fers, according to Elec-tions Canada’s cam-paign finance summary.

But the investmentdidn’t pay off, at leastin votes, as Quarmbypicked up just 2,765votes, or 5.3 per cent ofthe vote.

In contrast, Liber-alTerry Beech spent$129,730 on his win-ning campaign, whilepicking up 18,938votes.

Despite the cost andoutcome, the SFUbiochemistry profes-sor said there was a lotgained for the moneyspent in terms of “af-fecting the conversa-tion.”

“The percentage ofthe vote I garnered onelection day is not agood reflection of theimpact I had on thecampaign,” she toldthe NOW, adding shewouldn’t have run if theparty was wasn’t willingto back her.

Though Quarmbyacknowledged mon-ey does make a differ-ence in a campaign,she believes that cred-ible campaigns can bemounted with less, andshe doesn’t want to seeanyone dissuaded fromrunning because of theexpense.

Her Green colleaguesin the two other Burna-by ridings received sig-nificantly less for theircampaigns.

Burnaby South can-didateWyattTessari re-ceived $2,000 in trans-fers from the Greenparty, while NewWest-

minster-BurnabyGreen candidate KyleRoutledge received$800 from the party.

Wyatt and Routledgereceived 2.8 per centand 4.7 per cent of thevote respectively.

On election night, theGreen Party retainedits one seat in Parlia-ment and received 3.4per cent of the nation-al vote.

Quarmby said thespending on her cam-paign wasn’t a waste,

arguing other ridingswith less funding hadbenefited from the pro-file put into her cam-paign.

She said she has noregrets running in thelast election but hasn’tdecided whether shewould try again, addingit’s too soon.

The NOW reachedout to the Green Par-ty for comment butwas told in an e-mail itwould not comment onparty contributions toindividual campaigns.

Neither the NDPcandidate Carol BairdEllan or Conservativecandidate Mike Littlehave filed their cam-paign returns.

The election expenselimits for all candidatesis $206,738.

off as well,” RCMP StaffSgt. Major John Buis toldthe media Monday.

The witness is describedas 50 to 60 years old, wear-ing athletic clothing.

Meanwhile, the assaulton Saturday occurred nearHoldom Avenue in the eve-ning.

There have been a totalof five assaults since Jan. 29,prompting Burnaby RCMPto create a sexual assaulttask force to investigate thecrimes.

RCMP said it is too ear-ly to say if the incidents arelinked. However, some of

them have similar character-istics and for that reason po-lice noted all five are beinginvestigated by the task forcein order to enhance the in-vestigation.

Buis noted three of the in-cidents occurred at nightnear Holdom, while two oc-curred in daylight along theBurnaby Mountain UrbanTrail. He also noted all thevictims in the incidents wereyoung.

The suspect in the mostrecent attack is described asa white man, standing fivefeet seven inches, wearing asoft dark hoodie pulled overhis head.

“The Burnaby RCMPhas considerable resourc-es devoted to this investi-gation,” Buis said. “Addi-tionally, we want to remindthe public to be vigilant ifyou are walking alone in thetrails around Burnaby or ifyou’re walking alone, late atnight.”

Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan echoed the com-ments by the police force,noting extra resources andovertime are being used tosolve the crimes.

“It’s something that doesnot happen in Burnaby,” hetold theNOW. “It’s incred-ibly unusual and one that’smotivated our police de-partment to go out thereand work to find the personwho’s committing at least afew related assaults.”

Corrigan said he is wor-ried residents don’t feel safe,and suggested when peo-ple use the park space in thecity they don’t do so alone.

On March 1, a Burnabywoman was walking homefrom a Hastings Street busstop when an unknown manapproached her from be-hind, placed one hand overher mouth, pulled her to-ward the bushes and at-tempted to grope her.

On Jan. 29, a woman waswalking home near Spring-er and Braelawn Drive atabout 10:30 p.m., when shewas approached by a manfrom behind. Investigatorssay the suspect, unknownto the victim, restrained her

arms and groped her.Then,he allegedly hit her and fledsouth on Springer beforeturning east on Broadway

On Feb. 18, a woman waswalking along a path on theurban trail around 12:40p.m., was approached by aman and sexually assaulted.

about the money for Dani-ca, because she would havewent away for $10,000,” hesaid.

The lawyer blasted ICBCfor wasting money whenit could have settled out ofcourt.

“Whatever this was, itcost them (ICBC) far, farmore to do the trial. … Itprobably cost them morefor a day of trial than thesettlement,” Harding said.

The case goes back to2000, not long after Ar-senovski and her husbandarrived in Canada from theformerYugoslavia. Both intheir 50s, Arsenovski didn’tspeak English.

The couple was walkinghome from an English classon Jan. 31, when they werehit by a car while trying tocross the street at NelsonAvenue and Imperial Street.

The court heard theywere encouraged to re-port the accident to ICBC,which they did using afriend as a translator.

After signing an initialstatement, the case was re-ferred to Gregory Bodin, anadjuster with ICBC’s bodi-ly injury claims investiga-tion team, and John Gould,who was with ICBC’s spe-cial investigations unit.Thetwo men are also named inthe lawsuit. Gould authoreda report to Crown counselrecommending Arsenovskibe charged with fraud over$5,000, and the couple bothbe charged with making afalse statement.

But court found therewere “significant inaccura-cies” in the narrative por-tion of Gould’s report toCrown, and on the day thetrial started in 2001, thecharges were stayed.

Asrenovski then suedthe defendants for mali-cious prosecution, claim-ing ICBC, its adjusters andinvestigators misstated evi-dence to support the crimi-nal charges against her.

In her reasons for judg-ment, Justice Susan Griffinoffered a scathing analysisof the conduct of ICBC andthe two employees.

“Not only were the pub-lic resources of ICBC wast-ed by the malicious prose-cution of Mrs. Arsenovski,it was foreseeable that thiswould lead to wasting of thepublic resources of Crowncounsel and judicial re-

sources on the day the casecame to trial,” she wrotein her 80-page decision.“Mr. Gould also encour-aged other public agenciesto take action against herwithout reasonable groundsto do so, namely health andimmigration authorities.The wasting of such publicresources to so vindictive-ly pursue Mrs. Arsenovski isdeserving of the highest lev-el of condemnation.”

The judge went on towrite: “There was a vast gulfin the status of the partieswhen the malicious prose-cution occurred. Mrs. Ar-senovski was a vulnera-ble new arrival to Canada,with a poor grasp of theEnglish language and lit-tle confidence and withouta safe home country to re-turn to. Her husband, whowas her lifeline in this coun-

try, had just been hit by acar. Meanwhile ICBC wasa Crown corporation withsignificant resources, andMr. Gould was a personwith a long history as a po-lice officer.The power dif-ferential made the abuseof power and authority byMr. Gould on behalf ofICBC all the more signifi-cant.”

Burnaby Deer Lake MLAKathy Corrigan called thedetails of the case “trou-bling,” adding investiga-tors and ICBC generallyare supposed to be protect-ing the best interest of thepublic.

“It seems like she wastreated abysmally by ICBC,all to try to avoid a civ-il claim for damages,” shesaid, adding she hopes it’snot the culture at the insur-ance corporation. “If thesuggestion is that there is aculture of persecution in or-der to avoid civil liability,that is really concerning.”

Corrigan highlighted thecost of the case to taxpay-ers, at a time when ICBC islooking for a rate increase inpart because of fraud cases.

Meanwhile, Hardingbelieves his client will bepleased by the decision,pointing out Arsenovskilived in fear for years follow-ing the ICBC investigation.

He suggested, while Ar-senovski’s case was extreme,ICBC’s use of investigatorsas a “weapon of intimida-tion” has gone on for a longtime.

“I’m hoping this will af-fect change but I doubt thatit will,” Harding said.

“They think they areabove the law.”

Payequality isstillanelusivegoalIt’s the day after Interna-

tionalWomen’s Day.So, happy belatedWom-

en’s Day to all those whofight for equal rights forwomen. And for anyonewho even recognizes thatsexism is, unfortunately, stillvery much alive and thrivingin 2016, we thank you.

The earliestWomen’s Dayobservance was held onFeb. 28, 1909 in NewYork.It was organized by the So-cialist Party of America inremembrance of the 1908

strike of the InternationalLadies’ GarmentWorkers’Union.

The main plank of themovement was obtainingthe vote for women. And, ofcourse, equal pay for workof equal value.The first goalis largely met – at least inmost countries.The secondgoal still eludes women.

Despite a new federalgovernment that has bold-ly and bravely designateda cabinet with 50 per centwomen and is clearly mak-

ing women’s rights a keycommitment, women stillface the “glass ceiling” inmany workplaces.

Women still earn, in Can-ada, 33 per cent less thanmen. Most folks wouldthink, well, that makes senseconsidering that womenwork more part-time jobs;they take time off to havekids, and that sets themback for wage increases andpotential promotions; and,of course, they work in oc-cupations that are often paid

less (retail sales) than otheroccupations (engineering).

But even when this is tak-en into consideration, wom-en still make less than men.One study of 290,000 U.S.nurses revealed male nursesmake $5,100 more per yearthan their female colleaguesin similar positions.

How can this happen in2016?

It’s pretty simple – if thereis a way to throw a bit moremoola a man’s way, chanc-es are the system will find

a way to do it. It’s a built-in preference honed by de-cades of overt and subtlesexism. If it’s a bit of meritpay, extra overtime, or bo-nuses – a male worker willreap some benefits that a fe-male worker will not, evenwhen they are doing thesame job.

Unions have fought tocreate a fair workplacestructure, but there are few-er union workers than therewere a decade ago, andwithout written protections,

discrimination creeps in.And, while we hate to ad-

mit it, it’s really all about themoney.

It costs a woman thesame amount for rent that itdoes for a man. If you can’tearn an equal wage, it’s sim-ply unjust.

While we celebrate all ofthe wins for women’s equal-ity over the last 100 years,we still hope that some daywe’ll actually see a levelplaying field with equal pay-cheques.

Cycling track moves ahead

Strangeallies inpipelinepolitics

The B.C. government re-leased its wish list for whatit calls “green infrastructureproposals” last week, in thehopes of garnering the at-tention of a federal govern-ment ready to spend billionsof dollars on such projects.

There are almost two doz-en projects on the list, frombig ones like new Surreytransit lines and a SkyTrainextension down BroadwayinVancouver, to smallerones that create more bikelanes and replace aging hos-pital boilers.

But there was anotheritem on the list that will like-ly attract more and moreattention in the monthsahead, even though it ranksas rather obscure right now.

That would be the $1 bil-lion proposal to tie B.C.Hydro’s electrical grid toAlberta’s energy needs. Atransmission would runfrom the Peace River regionacross the border to Alberta,and power from the Site Cdam would flow along it.

The idea, from the B.C.government’s perspective, isto send clean, green hydro-electric power to Alberta tohelp that province wean it-self off its coal-fired energyprojects. This would allowboth provinces to help re-duce greenhouse gas emis-sion in significant amounts(three to six megatons).

But the proposal has nowbeen linked to the KinderMorgan pipeline, courtesyof Alberta Premier RachelNotley. Notley has said herprovince is not interested inbuying any power from B.C.unless it can get its major re-source product – bitumen

from the oil sands – to mar-ket via pipelines to tidewa-ter. In other words: no pipe-line from Alberta, no buyingpower from B.C.

This is music to the B.C.government’s ears.

On the surface, the gov-ernment says it won’t sup-port the pipeline unless itsexisting five conditions aremet. But this does not meanthe B.C. government is deadset against the project. Infact, far from it: it would likethose conditions to be metas quickly as possible, so itcan attach its approval intime for the next provincialelection in May 2017.

The Kinder Morgan pipe-line issue was crucial to theB.C. Liberals’ election winin 2013, as the NDP unex-pectedly announced in themiddle of the campaign thatit would oppose the proj-ect.This flip-flop provided aneatly defined fault line be-tween the two parties.

By linking Kinder Mor-gan to the Site C dam, Not-ley has tacitly accepted thedam’s existence. She hasalso opened to the door topartly satisfying one of theB.C. government’s five con-ditions: that the province re-ceive significant economicbenefits from the pipeline.

The tremendous ironyhere is that an NDP govern-ment in Alberta is giving asignificant boost to the cre-ation of two energy proj-ects that the B.C. NDP ada-mantly oppose, a seeminglybizarre conundrum the B.C.Liberals can’t wait to ex-ploit.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

The B.C. Cycling Association got one step closer tobuilding a world-class cycling track in Burnaby after thelocal parks commission agreed in December to lease theassociation a site for construction on the Barnett High-way.The commission agreed to lease the land for $1 ayear.

Money for the project was to come from the associationand lottery funds, and it was hoped the track would beready in time to host pre-1988 Seoul Olympic meets.

Un nouveau depart pour Oui Paris

Saori Nguyen is the new owner of Oui Paris Cafe on Hastings Street. The former stockbroker bought the cafe inDecember and reopened in February. She hopes Oui Paris will become well-known in the community for its coffee.

CAYLEY DOBIE

Cayley [email protected]

Oui Paris has a new owner

and a new attitude.

The Parisian-style café at

4092 Hastings St. was in-

tended by its previous owners

to be a restaurant, offering full

meals to seated guests.

But new owner Saori

Nguyen has a different vision

for Oui Paris. Rather than a

restaurant and general store

stocked with knick knacks,

furniture and clothing, she’s

transformed it into a coffee

house, priding herself on well-

trained staff, freshly made

baked goods and coffee.

“Our focus is coffee, like

really, really good coffee,”

Nguyen told the NOW.Nguyen and her husband

both took a barista course

before reopening Oui Paris.

She also paid for her three em-

ployees to take the course and

hired champion barista and

latte artist Calvin Kuo. And

the coffee beans come from

Vancouver-based Rocanini,

Nguyen noted.

As for the baked goods,

customers can cnd everything

from macaron to cakes to

croissants at Oui Paris, and

it’s all made fresh in-house.

A culinary student comes in

regularly to help Nguyen and

her staff work on their baking

skills, which Nguyen said are

coming along very well.

Before she bought the café,

Nguyen worked as a stockbro-

ker and spent most of her time

at a computer. But when her

son was born, she decided to

change careers. That’s when

she found Oui Paris.

“I really liked the antique

look of it, so that’s why we

decided to buy this shop in-

stead of another shop. Just the

look of it is so nice,” she said.

Nguyen and her husband

bought Oui Paris in December

and reopened in early Febru-

ary. Nguyen admits it’s been

slow going. Many people

come in not knowing anything

has changed, she said, so

there’s still a lot of work to

do to spread the word in the

community.

“The location is really

good. There’s lots of parking

around, it’s a busy street, and

we really like the neighbour-

hood, the community – it feels

like a community,” she said,

adding that when she bought

the café, nearby business own-

ers dropped in with bowers to

welcome her to the Heights.

Nguyen plans on working

full time at the café for the

crst two months or at least

until everything is running

New owner reimaginesformer eatery and shop

Oui Paris to open early to attract new customerssmoothly. She starts every day

at 7 a.m. She has to clean out

the coffee machine, something

she does throughout the day to

ensure the quality of the brew

is consistent.

Starting this week, Oui

Paris will open at 7 a.m., a

decision Nguyen hopes will

attract customers on their

way to work. They also serve

brunch on the weekends and

have a small collection of

paninis available throughout

the day.

So what does success look

like to Nguyen?

“People recognize us as a

coffee house. Like when they

talk about Oui Paris, they’re

like, ‘Oh man, the coffee is so

good,’” she laughed. “Then

I’m successful.”

Oui Paris is located at

1092 Hastings St. For more

shop, check them out on

Come join in on the spring break fun in the HeightsDon’t you love this time of

year? The days are getting lon-

ger and winter is fading.All

the February rain has cleared

the skies for March sunshine.

Spring has sprung, and as I walk

down Hastings Street, I see that

so have the vibrant bowers,

which is a great reminder that

Spring Break is approaching for

your little ones!

Two weeks off means lots of

fun for the kids, especially when

there are plenty of fun things to

do locally.

If you’re looking for some-

thing artistic and education-

al, there are several specialty

schools offering classes and care

for children during the spring

days.

There is nothing more re-

warding for a kid than creating

something with their own hands.

Let them explore their creativi-

ty with the dynamic teachers the

Heights has to offer.

Like Dino at 4Cats; he will

teach your child mixed me-

dia art skills, then they can take

their art home and have some-

thing special to remember this

spring break by.

Artspace has unique classes

like hip hop dancing and dra-

ma classes during the break so

your kids can entertain you once

you’re home – as if they don’t

already!And, Chef Natalia at

Posh Pantry is teaching every-

thing about baking for kids to

inspire their inner pastry chef.

Make sure you register for class-

es soon as they cll up quick.

While they are in class,

you can get your errands done

around the Heights.

Take a stroll down Hastings

and pick up some super afford-

able produce at TripleAor Red

Apple Markets. Go for a relax-

ing facial at one of the many es-

theticians, like Harmonia Expe-

rience Spa. Or, reconnect with

yourself by trying a session in

a sensory deprivation tank at

Float Sense. Take this time to do

something for yourself!

On days that the kids don’t

have classes, take them to Ei-

leen Dailly Pool to slip down

the water slide. They will sure-

ly have a great time playing in

the water.

While they are splashing

around, you can cnally read that

book you found at one of our

Heights bookstores, Companion

Book or Brown’s Books.

No matter how you choose to

celebrate this spring, enjoy all

the family fun the Heights has

to offer.

For a list of all our merchants,

please visit www.burnaby

heights.com.

Sydney Van Alstyne is the

marketing and events coordina-

tor at the Heights Merchants As-

sociation.

Instructors at BCIT hopeto spark a love of learningin at-risk students during anew spring break weldingcamp this month.

Dubbed Mind OverMetal, the camp is a part-nership with the Burnabyschool district, with fundingfrom the CanadianWeld-ing Association Foundation(CWAF).

“For a lot of kids thatare in school, they don’tsee anything that ties intoa job or anything at theother side of their educa-tion,” said BCIT head weld-ing instructor Mark Fly-nn, a CWA board memberand one the instructors be-hind the Burnaby camp. “Ifwe can get them involved,just turned on a little bit toa trade or something otherthan thinking about not go-ing to school, then that’s a

really good idea for the stu-dents.”

And when it comes tothe trades, welding is idealfor grabbing kids’ attention,Flynn said.

“There’s sparks flyingand it’s pretty cool for a lotof kids, where a plumber’sjob is pretty mundane as faras trying to advertise it,” hesaid.

Sixteen kids in grades 8

and 9 will be at BCIT forfive-and-a-half hours a dayfrom March 14 to 16, learn-ing a variety of welding pro-cesses and making a small

project to take home.They’ll be accompanied

by two youth workers sup-plied by the school district,which is also picking uptransportation costs whereneeded.

Mind Over Metal campsare supported by the Ca-nadianWelding AssociationFoundation across Canada.

“I was so excited whenthe instructors brought this

to us,” BCIT manager ofcorporate training and in-dustry services Laurie McA-

voy said. “It just matchesBCIT’s mandate, so we’rethrilled to be part of it.”

Defence,disciplinekey for STMSenior boys launch3A provincials againstNanaimo [email protected]

Spring break may have begun, butthe St.Thomas More Knights seniorboys team are still in the classroom --metaphorically speaking.

The No. 2 Lower Mainland teamenters this week’s 3A provincial cham-pionships in Langley with a number oflessons to apply, and targets to reach.

It all begins today (Wednesday),5:15 p.m. as the Knights tip-off againstNo. 12-seeded Nanaimo District Is-landers at the Langley Events Centre.

Ranked fifth overall entering the16-team tourney, STM coach AaronMitchell admits that on the surface thetwo teams don’t match-up well.

“We have some info and know thatthey’re big and like to pound the ballinside,” said Mitchell. “(Nanaimo) iswell-coached... He’ll have them pre-pared and they’ll probably want toslow the game down.”

The No. 2 team fromVancouver Is-land, Nanaimo can brag four forwards6-foot-5 or taller, plus 6-foot-4 guardMax Reed.

Those factors will present a test forSTM, who were handcuffed by a sim-ilar height-blessed Steveston-Londonlineup in the Lower Mainland final.

“We’ve had a hard time since theLower Mainland game, and we look atit as growing opportunity,” said Mitch-ell, who has helmed the squad for thepast 10 years. “Since then we’ve hadthe guys set goals everyday in practice,work towards achieving some basicthings...We haven’t even talked aboutNanaimo until (Tuesday).”

STM’s youthful roster, boasting justtwo Grade 12s, makes up for its lackof serious height with aggressive speed.It’s one aspect, when used skilfully,that can trip up size.

“I think for them to get into (Lang-ley) and play, they’re just excited,”Mitchell added.”The guys really justwant to get on the court and showwhat they’ve learned.”

Grandview scrambles after OT lossGoalies continue to play a huge role in the Pacific Junior B hockey league semifinal

An unfortunate penalty ledto an unfortunate ending inSunday’s playoff match for theGrandview Steelers.

Despite holding a advantagein play and shots, the host Steel-ers fell 2-1 to the Delta Icehawks,evening their best-of-seven semi-final series at 1-1.

And while the ending was par-ticularly tough to swallow, headcoach Aldo Bruno once againcould point to a sluggish start asa habit he’d like to see his chargesbreak -- and soon.

“We started off really slowly inthe first and Delta took it to us,”remarked Bruno.

“While we settled down andscored (first) it’s something we

need to fix.”Scoreless after 20 minutes,

the game evolved with the Steel-ers taking the lead just 17 sec-onds into the middle frameon Braeden Gurney’s power-play marker. Michael Schellen-berg tied it up for Delta midwaythrough the period.

Neither team could put onepast the opposing netminder inthe third.

After a 10-minute bridge over-time, the two teams returned forthe second extra session eager toput an end to the game.

Schellenberg scored at 8:01 ofthe second overtime on a pow-erplay, an extra-man chance thatBruno called “questionable.”

“It was frustrating. It wasn’t atypical powerplay goal, more of abroken play.”

Jacob Latrace turned in a stel-lar performance for the Icehawks,turning aside 44 shots, includingeight in extra time, to backstopthe visitors’ victory.

Nearly as stellar was Grand-view’s Cole MacInnes, who made35 saves.

“Both goalies were excel-lent,” said Bruno. “We had a lotof quality shots and there werea number of big stops made, byboth.

“We have to create more of-fence for sure, and by that weneed to get in on (Latrace’s) area,we need more traffic in front of

him.”The teams now have combined

for a total of just eight goals overthe first two games, while compil-ing 147 shots on net.

Getting a better start wouldalso be a big step, said Bruno.

“I think the guys were pret-ty loose and focused but we letthem take it to us,” he noted.“You hope by re-inforcing themessage to come out strong willregister, but it comes down to thelittle things, the details.”

Game 3 was played yesterday(past the NOW’s deadline).

The series continues Saturdayin Delta, and Sunday, with Game5, 4 p.m. at the BurnabyWinterClub.

Semifinal heartbreaker for Knights at AA [email protected]

While the result wasn’t what they aimedfor, the St.Thomas More senior girls bas-ketball team can take their fourth-place fin-ish at last week’s B.C. AA championships asa joint achievement.

They closed the tournament Saturday inLangley with an 86-69 loss to Immaculatain the third place game. A disappointing re-sult but, as in the previous three games, thesquad never surrendered or failed to pushback after a rough stretch.

Ranked No. 3 entering the tourney, the

Knights put it all on the court in Friday’ssemifinal against No. 1-rated Duchess Parkbefore falling 72-69.

A critical part of the semifinal and ma-jor edge for the Prince George school was inthe opening half where they doubled STMin field goal percentage -- scoring on 45.7per cent to the Burnaby school’s 22.5 percent -- and dominated the boards.

The Knights were also decidedly cool inthe first 20 minutes from beyond the three-point line, scoring just once on 11 shots andended up trailing 40-24 after Duchess Parkbroke open a six-point game with a 21-5run.

In the third quarter, More staged a fiercerally that pulled them within three pointsprior to the Condors’ Alina Shakirova’sthree-pointer just before the buzzer.

The Knights battled and and brieflypulled ahead 62-61 on Gabrielle Laguer-ta’s bucket with 6:12 remaining. But theCondors kept circling, getting back in frontand trying to increase the margin in a gamewhere the lead traded places eight times.

A three-pointer from first team all-starand defensive player of the tourney ZionCorrales-Nelson and a penalty stripe basketby Nikko Sahagun again pulled STM with-in a point as the clock reached the final two

minutes.Tourney MVP Madison Landry put

in three from the foul line en route to a26-point day, and while Corrales-Nelsonmade it a two-point margin with 10 secondsleft, foul issues cemented the win for Duch-ess Park, who would go on to win the B.C.title.

Corrales-Nelson led all shooters with 27points, while Laguerta counted 10.

In the third-place game against Immac-ulata, second team all-star Nadine Stewartscored 22 points, Corrales-Nelson 20 andLaguerta chipped in 15. In the quarter-finals, STM toppedVernon 76-54.
