The manhunt continues for the ren-egade dentist who practised illegallyin Burnaby and throughout the LowerMainland, as Tung Sheng (David) Wu wasfinally sentenced on Oct. 15.

Early Tuesday morning, B.C. Supreme

Court Associate Chief Justice AustinCullen sentenced Wu to three months’ jailtime for being in contempt of court for hisillegal dental practice. Wu has not beenpresent to any court proceeding and is stillin hiding.

“He is a person without honour orregard for Canadian civil society,” saidJerome Marburg, CEO of the College ofDental Surgeons of B.C. “He preyed on the

vulnerable and put many people’s lives atrisk.”

Last August, the court found Wu inbreach of a 2003 court order prohibitinghim from practising dentistry and issueda warrant for his arrest and a permanentinjunction.

“I understand upwards of 450 peo-ple approached the health authorities,”Marburg said about Wu’s former clients.

“That’s not nearly the amount of folks hewas preying on.”

The investigation and legal proceedingshas cost in excess of $140,000 to the col-lege, but that does not include the ongoingcosts, according to Marburg.

“We’ve got to get him first,” he saidabout recovering the cost to the college.“That is the problem. … We’ve got to find

As you read this, families aroundBurnaby are packing their bags toget their little ones ready for music

or dance class. And we do mean little:many of them can’t even walk themselvesto class, never mind carry their own bags.

Music and dance classes for babiesand toddlers arebecoming popularwith local families.Private studios andcity-run parks andrecreation programsoffer programs thatbear such namesas Mini Music andBaby’s First Dance.

So what’s with the boom in baby arts?Arts reporter Julie MacLellan – herself

the mother of a 15-month-old – thoughtshe’d do a little investigating and find out.

As it turns out, we’re not on a questto turn out a new generation of babyBaryshnikovs and mini Mozarts. But we areincreasingly embracing the notion that earlyexposure to the arts is good for our kids.And it seems science is on our side.

In today’s Burnaby NOW, MacLellantakes a closer look at babies, toddlers andthe arts. See pages 3 and 11.

Hear the words “dance class,” and youmight envision a row of tiny balleri-nas, hair pulled back into neat buns,

pink tutus and ballet slippers at the ready asthey reach for the barre with small hands.

You might not think of a room full of gig-gling, running, spinning munchkins, playingwith instruments, dancing with scarves andputting themselves through an obstacle course– more often than not going off course andhaving to be steered back to the task at handby mommy or daddy.

Then again, most of these tiny dancersaren’t quite two years old yet. And noneof them have any idea how many benefitsthey’re getting out of being here at Cameron

Recreation Centre on aMonday morning.

This is Toddler’sFirst Dance, a Burnabyparks and recreationprogram taught byMarcia Jones.

It exposes littlepeople – from the timethey’re confidently

walking up to age two-and-a-half – to the fun-damentals of movement and music.

It’s a cause near and dear to Jones’s heart.She’s a dancer and teacher who specializes

in using movement to enhance early childhooddevelopment. And by early, she means trulyearly – from infancy onwards. Long beforekids can walk, or even crawl, they can join a“dance” class and learn, alongside their care-giver, ways to stimulate their development.

“We know now, the research is showing us,early movement is crucial for the developmentof certain parts of the brain,” Jones says, not-ing that the lower brain and mid-brain regionsare all developing rapidly in the early months.

“Those parts of the brain really get cement-ed in the first year. The first year of life iswhen it’s really crucial,” she says.

Ideally, she says, all children cycle through

six fundamental movement patterns as theirbrains develop and neural pathways areopened in the brain. What needs to happen foroptimum physical development, she says, isthat kids have the freedom to move throughthose patterns naturally – not to be confinedin carseats, swings and bouncy chairs toomuch of the time.

“They need to be able to mobilize them-selves and work it out for themselves,” shesays.

That’s why she stresses independent move-ment on the floor, especially on the tummy, forthe two-month-to-crawling set in her Baby’s

First Dance classes.If they don’t get a chance to work all those

things out in the first year, Jones says, kids’brains are resilient: they will find a way tocompensate. But it may lead to movementthat’s not efficient or other problems that cropup later on.

She points out that the young brain is con-stantly forming and changing, and as the

babies move into toddlerhood – like this batchof youngsters creating organized chaos in theCameron Centre’s Hemlock Room – they’reworking hard on balance and coordination.

It’s also important for toddlers to stimulatetheir vestibular systems – the inner ear thatregulates the sense of balance and other pro-cesses related to movement and spatial orien-tation.

“Toddlers especially like to tumble andtwirl and fall all over the place,” Jones says.“They’re trying to find a way to get all the flu-ids moving in their brain.”

That movement in turn helps them learn,especially for those who are kinetic learners.“They need that movement to think.”

Setting a solid foundation in the early yearsis important, Jones says, because the strongerthe foundation, the more naturally learningwill continue to flow.

“It sets up the foundation for the rest of thechild’s life,” she says.

As intimidatingly academic as that maysound, Toddler’s First Dance is anything but.It opens with a welcome song – each child hastheir moment in the spotlight to stand up,

Dentist:manhuntcontinueshim. We’ve got to get himand go from there. Yes,it’s cost us a lot of money,… (but) we’re much moreupset people like this existand prey on the public.”

A former patient’s com-plaint about Wu’s treat-ment sparked the initialinvestigation in late May,and the college hired a pri-vate investigator to deter-mine if the unregistereddentist was in fact illegallypractising from his homeon Southwood Street, inBurnaby.

Wu was illegally prac-tising on about 1,500 clientswho were all warned toget tested for hepatitis Bvirus, hepatitis C virus andHIV, because his practicedid not meet the college’sinfection prevention andcontrol requirements.

The college has alsocontacted Canada RevenueAgency, after it found outWu has been sending a sig-nificant amount of moneyoverseas. The agency is alsoinvestigating the case.

The judge gave Wu untilOct. 9 to appear in courtand plead his case butdelivered the sentence inhis absence on Oct. 15.

Marburg says the col-lege is renewing its plea tothe public to bring forwardany information aboutWu’s whereabouts.

Anyone with informa-tion on Wu is asked to callthe college’s investigatorsat 604-209-1708.

“There’s no shame inhaving been a client of Mr.Wu,” Marburg said. “Andthere is no reason to pro-tect him or hide him. … It’stime for him to be found.”

Julian demands newethics rules for MPs

Stiff penalties for MPswho demand payment forservices they were electedto provide and an end toparliamentarians sitting oncorporate boards.

Those are two key poli-cy planks in an ethics codefor MPs being proposed byBurnaby-New WestminsterMP Peter Julian. The NDPcaucus chair wants tostrengthen ethics rules bymaking them law and giv-ing the ethics commission-er the power to hand outpenalties to politicians whoviolate the legislation.

Julian said there are cur-rently no penalties for MPswho behave badly.

“It’s like people robbinga bank and being told, ‘Justpay the money back, andyou’re free to go.’ Thereare no consequences. Rightnow, nothing happens.”

Julian said his partyis challenging theConservatives and theLiberals to agree to the pro-posal and beef up the rulesgoverning MPs and sena-tors’ behavior.

The NDP’s three-pointproposal would:$ Prohibit parliamentar-ians from sitting on theboards of big corporations.$ Stop parliamentariansfrom double-dipping bybanning payment for workthat is part of their job as anMP or senator.$ Strengthen ethics rules

by enshrining them intolaw and empowering theethics commissioner toadminister real penaltieswhen politicians break therules.

As an example, Juliancriticized Liberal leaderJustin Trudeau for chargingspeaking fees after he waselected as an MP. He saidTrudeau showed “unusu-ally poor judgment” inaccepting the payment.

Julian said a $10,000 finefor a breach of the ethicslaw would give the rulessome teeth.

The proposal comes asParliament is set to resumewith the Speech from theThrone today.

Ever since she became lead-er of the B.C. Liberal Party,Christy Clark has sought

to distance herself from herpredecessor, Gordon Campbell,whenever possible.

And she may be doing itagain when it comes to dealingwith climate change. At the veryleast, there’s no doubt she lacksCampbell’s religious-like zeal onthat issue.

Campbell loved to boast thatB.C. was leading all of NorthAmerica when it came to fight-ing climate change. He set ambi-tious targets, enshrined in law,for reducing greenhouse gasemissions (33 per cent of 2007levels by 2020) and brought inthe carbon tax.

But soon after Campbellunveiled his ambitious plan, theworld economy collapsed anda recession ensued. Suddenly,governments – including B.C.’s– experienced plunging revenuesand massive deficits.

The reverberations from thateconomic disaster continue tobe felt. The Clark government,like many others, is still hungryfor revenues and less interested

in spending a lot of time talkingabout things like carbon creditschemes and greenhouse gasemissions.

And while her governmentinsists it is still committed toachieving the targets set out byCampbell, the centrepiece of itseconomic strategy is massiveindustrial activity that couldgreatly increase GHG emissions.

The creation of liquefiednatural gas plants in the north-west, for example, will greatlyincrease the amount of naturalgas burned to create energy.That, combined with the gov-ernment’s decision to freeze thecarbon tax and to push for theestablishment of a bunch of newmines, will also likely make itmore difficult to reduce GHGemissions.

But it’s not hard to figure outwhy Clark is going this route.

The recent provincial electionshowed that the economy hasbecome the number 1 issue withBritish Columbians. Clark cam-paigned successfully as a cham-pion of growing the economyand creating jobs.

Environmental issues suchas climate change have beenelbowed into the background.While they still rank high inimportance, they are not theissues that determine who formsgovernment in this province.

While her chief opponent, theNDP, tears itself apart on

It isn’t always easy to see homelessnessEight years hasn’t been long enough

for a week to solve the problem, but itis creating awareness and making a dif-ference.

This week is Metro Vancouver’seighth annual HomelessnessAction Week, an idea pickedup and carried throughout theprovince by the government ofB.C. for the past five years.It follows onthe heels of last week’s HomelessnessAction Day, marked by more than 50countries around the world on Oct. 10.

The emphasis of Homelessness ActionWeek this year is so-called “invisiblehomelessness,” in reference to thosewho are not obviously on the streets …yet.

Invisible homelessnessincludes those who “couchsurf,” moving from temporaryshelter to temporary shelter in

the homes of friends or family.That may not seem like a huge prob-

lem – until the reality of their situationis considered more closely. In fact, these

are people who live on the edge of anexistence on the streets that may claimthem at any time.

They may not be bright spots onsociety’s radar at any given moment, butthey nonetheless require support ser-vices and a better opportunity to achievepermanent housing.

The Greater Vancouver RegionalSteering Committee on Homelessnesspoints out that “invisible” homelessnessand the more visible variety are closelyconnected, and efforts to deal with the

former will go a long way to helpingsolve the problems of the latter.

The first step to dealing with anyproblem is to identify it – and to makesociety as a whole aware of the magni-tude of the problem that exists.

Indeed, in a caring community suchas ours, that awareness seems always totake us to the next step: active efforts tofind a solution.

Hopefully, by working on thosesolutions together, we can makeHomelessness Action Week obsolete.

Don’t give Rottweilers bad pressDear Editor:

Re: Kudos for dog bylaw, Burnaby NOW, Lettersto the editor, Oct. 9.

To clarify: Under the bylaws, a vicious dog is“a Staffordshire bull terrier, an American pit bullterrier and any dog generally recognized as a pitbull or pit bull terrier and includes a dog of mixedbreed with predominant pit bull or pit bull terriercharacteristics.”

Temperament of a Rottweiler: According to theFCI Standard, the Rottweiler is good-natured, plac-id in basic disposition, very devoted, obedient, bid-dable and eager to work. Their appearance is natu-ral and rustic, their behaviour self-assured, steadyand fearless. They react to their surroundings with

great alertness.The American Kennel Club says it is basically

a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to imme-diate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweileris self-confident and responds quietly and with await-and-see attitude to influences in its environ-ment. It has an inherent desire to protect home andfamily and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardnessand adaptability with a strong willingness to work,making them especially suited as a companion,guardian and general all-purpose dog.

Just to also add, all breeds, including poodlesand golden retrievers, can bite depending on certaincircumstances. Obviously I don’t like the idea ofRottweilers getting a bad rap; I have one!

LETTERS TO THE EDITORTarget owners, not dogsDear editor:

Re: Kudos for dog bylaw, Letters to theedtior, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 9.

I regret to inform the author of thisletter that of the four dogs breeds she haslisted, only the pit bull is being requiredto be muzzled and not the Doberman,German shepherd or Rottweiler.

Also, as the owner of a German shep-herd, I take issue with characterization ofthese breeds of dogs and their owners. Ihave never and will never regard my dogas a weapon. I’ve spent considerable timetraining and socializing my shepherd, andI am sorry that you do not agree with mychoice of dog, but that does not make her aweapon. She is, in fact, an excellent familydog, as all of the breeds you appear to beafraid of are.

While she may be correct in that thereare bad owners that may misuse theirdogs, the vast majority of dog owners areresponsible, and it is unfair to make suchblanketing and disrespectful statements.Yet again, this brings us to the point ofthose against breed-specific language. Bad

people do bad things, so punish them fortheir choices. A bad driver wrecks his carand seriously injures a bystander. Shouldall cars be banned? No. The driver of thecar is held accountable. It should be thesame for dogs.

I sincerely feel bad for the author if shetruly believes that owners of large dogsimply such a threat to her and others, as itsimply is not the case.

The vast majority of dog owners inBurnaby are responsible, otherwise we’dbe reading a lot more about dog attacks inour local papers.

I would remind the author that in thisday and age it is simply inexcusable to dis-criminate against people due to physicalcharacteristics and should be the same foranimals. This is not just the views of Hug-A-Bull, but also the SPCA, the AmericanHumane Society, Canadian VeterinaryMedicine Association, the CanadianKennel Club, the American Kennel Club,American Bar Association, the Center forDisease Control and a large portion of thepopulation – or as our mayor and councillike to brand it, a small vocal minority.

Keith Bemister, Burnaby

whether or not it can sup-port big industrial activi-ties such as LNG plants,fracking and pipelines,Clark can further makeeconomic issues her ownand thus ensure she andher party remain in gov-ernment.

Clark is fond of stress-ing the need to find waysto say “yes” to big projectsrather than simply reject-ing them out of hand,as the NDP did in theelection campaign whenit opposed the KinderMorgan pipeline.

So look for Clark tofashion policies that areindeed about saying “yes”to a number of projects.I wouldn’t be surprisedif the B.C. Liberals some-how find a way to throwtheir support behind theKinder Morgan pipelineand perhaps, down theroad, revisit their decisionto not support Enbridge’sNorthern Gateway pipe-line.

If Kinder Morgan and

Enbridge can convincinglyshow they have addressedconcerns about oil spillsand cleanup, and that theyhave the support of moreFirst Nations than not (inother words, not necessar-ily unanimous support), Isuspect Clark will find iteasier to say “yes” to oneor both of the projects.

Of course, there arepotential pitfalls that mayawait the Clark govern-ment as it pushes theeconomy as its bread-and-butter issue.

Chief among them isif those liquefied naturalgas plants don’t material-ize. LNG Minister RichColeman says he’s reason-ably confident that threewill be built, but manyanalysts will be surprisedif there’s more than one atthe end of the day.

There is a lot of moneyriding on this all-in gambitby the Clark government.The government’s ownanalysis suggests five LNGplants could contributebetween $4 billion and $9

billion a year to govern-ment coffers.

Even if there’s only asingle plant, the returncould still exceed morethan $1 billion a year (ifthe Asian market for LNGremains strong, which isby no means a sure thing10 years from now), whichis substantial.

When money like thisis dangling in front of theClark government, it’snot hard to see why oneof her predecessors’ mostcherished initiatives haslost its lustre. So don’t besurprised if Campbell’semission targets are per-haps changed or delayedthrough legislation as wedraw closer to 2020.

The potential financialpayoff from LNG andother industries is simplytoo huge for a governmentto pass up, even if it meansturning its back one ofthe former premier’s mostcherished policies.

A story in the Wednesday, Oct. 9Burnaby NOW, Hart House rehab needsmore money, requires clarification.

The first sentence states that: “HartHouse needs more money in order to com-plete its rehabilitation project.”

In fact, it is the City of Burnaby – not the

restaurant itself – that requires that moneyin order to complete a rehabilitation proj-ect on the city-owned heritage building.

The project was originally budgetedfor $210,000, but the budget has now risento $295,000 because of the need for recon-struction of wood framing.

Burnaby firefighters didn’t hesitate tosend crews to help their New Westminsterneighbours when the call came in that partof the Royal City’s historic downtown corewas on fire.

At about 4 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8,Burnaby received a call alerting the depart-ment to a blaze at 634 Columbia St. Inresponse, the department sent five firetrucks and 20 firefighters to provide assis-tance if needed, Assistant Fire Chief DarrylSmith told the Burnaby NOW.

“We’ve been on standby in New Westsince about 4 o’clock this morning,” he saidon Thursday.

Burnaby, which was called in alongwith Delta Fire to help with the firefight-

ing efforts, responded to fire alarms goingoff in surrounding buildings in the down-town core.

WhenSmitharrivedinNewWestminsterThursday morning, the E.L. Lewis buildingat Columbia and Mackenzie streets hadalready collapsed and New Westminstercrews were working hard to keep the firecontained to as few buildings as possible.

“There was a lot of a smoke, it’s a majorfire incident. There’s a lot of damage,” herecalled.

While New West firefighters battled theblaze, Burnaby firefighters responded tofire alarms going off in other buildings inthe area.

“We (responded) to a building fire in ahighrise, and all it was really was residualsmoke from the fire on Columbia,” Smithsaid.

turn around and run around the circle – andmoves through a series of music-and-move-ment activities including scarf play, instru-ment play, marching and an obstacle coursethat includes tunnel crawling, balancing andbackwards walking.

All of it’s done hand-in-hand with a care-giver – in this class, mostly moms, but with ananny and a dad also taking part.

The huge smiles on the little faces testifyto how much fun they’re having being heretogether.

It’s working for Lorena Flouret and heralmost-two-year-old daughter, Victoria.“Since she was little she likes to dance,”

Flouret says with a smile. She’s seen growth inthe little girl already, she says, noting Victoriawill even do some of the movements fromclass at home. “What I like is how she startsunderstanding the class, and she starts to par-ticipate.”

Jennifer McPherson agrees. She’s here with20-month-old Sarah,and she likes thechance for Sarah tointeract with the otherkids. “Whenever weput on music at homeshe starts dancing.When music comeson, she starts moving,she does some of the

movements (from class).”For Kristin Vandegriend and 20-month-

old Alexa, class is a fun social outing forboth of them – some of their friends froma StrongStart drop-in at a local elementaryschool are also in the class, and moms andkids have extra bonding time at dance class.

“She likes being with other kids,”Vandegriend says. And, she notes with alaugh, “She has a lot of energy. We neededsomewhere to tire her out.”

The parent-child bonding is an importantpart of class for Jones.

“Moving with an adult in these classes isabout connection,” Jones points out. “It’s notabout, ‘Oh, you go out and play, it’s ‘Let’splay together.’”

The same is true at Staccato Studios inNorth Burnaby, where Kera Doherty offers

Music Together classes for kids from infancyup to age four and their parents.

Especially for infants, she says,music is a real aid to bonding withtheir mom or dad, and it’s a socialoutlet for the parents as well.

People who take MusicTogether classes don’t have to bemusical, Doherty says, and theydon’t have to want their kids tobecome concert pianists, either.

“It’s just sharing music, giv-ing them a love of music,” she says. “It justbecomes a part of life.”

Music Together is a program based onneuroscientific research that explores just howmusic education can change a child’s develop-ment for the better – and puts it into a fun,informal setting for families.

“The goal is to really get the children ata critical stage and give them exposure tomusic,” Doherty says. “It’s much like lan-guage learning. If you’re immersed in yourmother tongue, you naturally pick it up.”

Music offers excellent exposure to lan-guage for little ones, she points out, not-

ing that it follows the rhythms of speech andgives children a chance to practise active lis-tening – noticing loud and soft, fast and slow,and, at an even deeper level, beginning torecognize expression in their caregivers’ facesand emotion in their voices.

As the babies grow into toddlers, classbecomes much more physical – they’re into

bouncing, swaying and spinning, exploringthe physical side of rhythm-making and gain-ing motor skills, balance and coordination.

They get exposure to pre-literacy skills intheir songbooks, which have pictures, wordsand music, and they start to pick up lettersand numbers through the music.

They’re also given a chance to explore theirown creativity and to socialize with other kids.

“They start taking interest in one anothermore. They’ll start dancing together,” Dohertysays, noting that the mixed age group also

provides excellent learning oppor-tunities for babies and toddlersalike. “The older ones have achance to take on more of a leader-ship role. And I think the babieslearn just a little bit more whenthey have children a little olderthan themselves.”

Not only do the children buildskills in matching rhythms,

recognizing the contours ofmelody and eventually matching pitches, butthey gain a much broader foundation in whatDoherty calls their “emotional IQ” – theirsocial interaction, their confidence, their cre-ativity, their problem-solving skills.

The classes offer a solid foundation forthose who go on to formal music-making lateron, be it piano lessons, dance or choir. They’velearned to love music, Doherty notes, which isimportant as they move into formal lessons.

And she’s seen the benefits for those kidswho’ve started music as toddlers and gone onto the teenage years.

“Children who do music from an early age,they seem to be really fearless about doingsocial activities, presentations,” Doherty says.“If you can be confident singing in front ofpeople, you can be confident getting up inclass and doing a presentation, for example.”

Even more importantly, a foundation inmusic has built the child’s self-confidence

– “every child needs something they feel con-

fident in their abilities at” – and the discipline,goal-setting and hard work that music lessonsrequire.

“Those are very important life skills,”Doherty points out. “They really learn theimportance of hard work and dedication. …Technology can make things so quick andeasy. Having those activities that demand anattention span and make us commit long-termis very important, especially for young chil-dren. These things are even more importantthan ever now.”

The youngsters who turn out to her MusicTogether class don’t know any of that, ofcourse. Any more than the tots runningaround the Cameron Recreation Centre haveany idea that they’re stimulating the develop-ment of their brains.

But the fact is, they’re already gettinga head start down the road to learningand they’re having fun doing it – and that,Doherty says, is what early exposure to musicdoes so well.

“It encompasses so much when you thinkof how many different parts of your brain areactive,” she says. “It’s one of those activitiesthat just has that full package.”

Two Burnaby doctorsreceived a presti-gious research award

from the Michael SmithFoundation for HealthResearch.

The foundationannounced 59 recipientson Sept. 17, and amongthem are Dr. RaziehEskandari and Dr. DavePasalich – both Burnabyresidents and post-doc-toral fellows from SimonFraser University.

The awards are worth$37,000 a year over a maxi-mum term of three years.

Eskandari’s research isworking to improve treat-ment for Alzheimer’s byidentifying compoundsthat protect the brain fromdegeneration.

Tau is a protein thatcan act abnormally inAlzheimer’s disease andcan lead to neuronal death,but tau’s toxicity can besignificantly reduced byaltering the levels of asugar modification in cells– known as O-GlcNAc.

“Eskandari’s researchfocuses on synthesiz-ing compounds that willhelp increase levels of O-GlcNAc in brains, whichin turn will protect neu-rons from the damagingeffects of abnormal tau,” amedia release stated. “Byidentifying new moleculesand validating this target,her study has the poten-tial to improve outcomesfor the estimated 500,000Canadians living withAlzheimer’s disease.”

Pasalich is reachingwhether an evidence-based parenting programcan help reunite familiesafter children have beenplaced in out-of-homecare.

The Michael Smithfoundation is funded pri-marily by the province; itsaward competitions havefunded more than 1,500projects since 2001.

For more informationabout the 2013 researchprojects, visit www.msfhr.org/2013-trainee-competition-results.

ClubClan wins

hockeyleagueopener

Tom Berridgesports editor

Rookie righthanderAaron Enns tallied fourpoints in the Simon FraserUniversity hockey club’shome opener.

Enns scored a goal on thepower play and set up JonoCeci for what proved to bethe game-winner as SFUwon its B.C. IntercollegiateHockey League opener7-4 over the ThompsonRivers Wolfpack at the BillCopeland Sports Centre onSaturday.

Enns, who scored 96points in 154 games withthe La Ronge Ice Wolvesof the Saskatchewan juniorA league, had a goal andthree assists to lead theclub Clan.

Enns, a Campbell Rivernative, also played a sea-son in the NCAA withDivision III ManhattanCollege before transferringto SFU.

The Clan jumped out toa 3-0 lead after two periodson power-play goals fromJesse Mysiorek and JaredEng and the first of a pairby Nick Sandor, in the finalminutes of the openingperiod.

Graeme Gordon back-stopped the win with 30saves in the Clan cage.

Ceci, who tallied thegame-winner from Ennsand Mike Ball at 10:47 ofthe wild, eight-goal thirdperiod, wound up with athree-point night.

Thompson Rivers closedout the final period, scor-ing three times in the finaleight minutes, including ashorthanded goal by SilvanHarper.

“It was a cautious,apprehensive start, … butafter three solid weeks ofhockey against Calgary,UBC and the Boston trip,I think we’re playing at alevel we have to be,” saidSFU club head coach MarkColetta.

SFU is on the roadthis weekend for a two-game series against theUniversity of Victoria.

The following week,the Clan will host leaguechampion Selkirk Collegeon Oct. 26 for SFU HockeyHalloweeen Night.

Knights shock Owls in second halfGetting their starting quarter-

back back put a swagger backin the St. Thomas More Knightsoffence.

The AAA varsity Knightsproved the truth of their headcoach’s words, putting up 36unanswered points in the secondhalf behind the return of pivotChase Malcolm to defeat theKelowna Owls 51-8 at the AppleBowl in Kelowna on Friday.

The third-quarter start was thefirst for Malcolm since sufferingan injury in the team’s seasonopener against Notre Dame morethan a month ago.

“When you get a guy likeChase (Malcolm) back in the line-up, it gives the team a lot of con-fidence,” said head coach BernieKully. “We had our swagger inthe third quarter.”

Leading 15-8 at half time,Malcolm came in and completedfive-of-seven passes for 62 yardsand a touchdown, while rushingfor 48 yards on his own and a sec-ond TD in one quarter of action.

“We had such a disappointingweek last week in terms of play-ing to our potential and expecta-tions it was nice to rebound thisweek with improvement to ourpractices and that it translatedinto a better performance,” Kullyadded.

Malcolm Lee put up 100 yardsof total offence, including a touch-down passing.

Shane Noel rushed for 87 yardsand another score. Andrew Flettalso had a rushing TD, while KevinMarshall caught five passes for 79yards and a touchdown. Marshallalso contributed on defence withsix tackles against the Owls.

The STM defence also had aturnaround week.

Defensive back Raf Posypankoran an interception back for asix-point score, while NoahUsherwood and Anthony Carteriled the team in tackles with nineand seven, respectively.

The win lifted the Knights backinto contention behind the sec-

ond-place Terry Fox Ravens – theNo. 2-ranked AAA team in theprovince.

STM fell out of the top-five rank-ings following last week’s shut-out loss to the Lord TweedsmuirPanthers.

This week’s matchup will beevery bit as challenging, admittedKully.

“We definitely have to beprepared up front,” Kully said.“Our athletes have to utilize theirstrengths and you can neverunderestimate the importance ofprotecting the ball and winningthose turnover battles.”

The Knights take on TerryFox at Percy Perry Stadium inCoquitlam on Friday at 7 p.m.
