Burnaby has recorded itsfirst homicide of 2016, af-ter the body of a man wasfound by police on the By-rne CreekTrail.

Burnaby Mounties werecalled out to an area aroundthe 7300 block of Sand-borne Avenue Sunday nightaround 8 p.m. when a res-

ident heard shots ringingout.

After searching the areathrough the evening, po-lice discovered the body of aman along the trail.

The man has not beenidentified, and Burna-by RCMP are saying littleabout the homicide.

RCMP Sgt. DerekThibodeau said the po-lice don’t believe the case is

connected to any ongoingBurnaby investigations, not-ing the file has been passedon to the Integrated Homi-cide InvestigationTeam.

He also couldn’t say ifthe shooting was targeted,or where along the trail thebody was found.

“There is not a concernfor public safety, the mat-ter is being investigated,”Thibodeau told the media,

noting police will be look-ing to speak to witnesses inthe area.

Not far from the trail area handful of highrise build-

ings. By Monday afternoon,a section of the area alongSandborne and Station HillDrive was blocked off bypolice tape.

Meanwhile, residents hadgathered near the scene toget information.

A young woman who livesnearby, but did not want tobe identified, said she heardtwo shots around 8 p.m. butthought it was firecrackers.

It was about an hour laterthat she noticed five policecars. She said she’s lived inthe neighbourhood for yearsand has never seen a murderin the area.

It was a similar sentimentfrom other residents, someof whom thought the policetape was part of movie film-ing.The area was behindpolice tape well into Mon-day evening.

The world of firefightingin a developing country isquite a bit a different thanwhat you’d see in Burnaby.

Just ask Burnaby assistantfire chief ErikVogel. Forthe last few years, he’s beenspearheading a local effortto get used gear and equip-ment for donation to firedepartments in Nicaragua.

And as he tells it, there’speople running aroundfighting fires with mis-matched gear, half the gear,or just jeans and aT-shirt.So any help the country’sfirefighters can get is wel-come.

Which makes the oppo-sitionVogel has come upagainst in getting cities andfire departments in MetroVancouver to part with theirold or expired equipment allthe more surprising.

He’s called out citieslike Surrey, Richmond andLangley that he said havebeen reluctant to donatetheir fire department’s oldequipment, suggesting in-stead the gear is ending up

in a landfill or sold for pen-nies on the dollar at auction.

Vogel explained while thegear may be condemnedin Canada because of thiscountry’s high standards,it’s still perfectly suitable forfirefighters in Nicaragua.

This year, he helped senda retired fire truck from theBurnaby department to theCity of Leon, as part of Op-eration Nicaragua, a pro-gram developed in Kam-loops that sends donateditems to the Central Amer-ican country. He said theolder fire trucks are prefera-ble because they don’t havea lot of new technology andcan be repaired easier.

Vogel’s reached out toother local departments fordonations, but instead ofhelp, he’s received a blast ofcold water in return.

He believes it’s not somuch the fire departmentsor chiefs, but the city man-agers who want to savemoney and don’t under-stand how valuable theequipment can still be in adeveloping country.

“That’s what so frustrat-ing, they’re the ones that

need education, the cit-ies,”Vogel told the NOW.“It’s crazy. Here we talkabout international aid andhelping all these countries,here’s such an easy way todo it.”

David Sakaki is a Kam-loops firefighter who startedOperation Nicaragua sev-eral years ago. He explainedthe department and munici-pality in his town have beenhelpful for the charity overthe years.

He said he understandssome cities might have con-cerns about the legalities ofdonating the equipment butsuggested they don’t have toworry.

Sakaki said once the gearis in Nicaragua, it’s impossi-ble to tell which departmentit came from. He added hewouldn’t donate any equip-ment he personally wasn’tcomfortable wearing to fighta fire.

“It’s almost an obligation

to give this stuff a secondlife in the developing coun-tries,” he said. “A jacketthat’s outdated is a heck of awhole lot better than some-one going in with aT-shirt.”

Sakaki said in Kamloops,the city and council havebeen extremely support-ive, recognizing there’s zerocost, and in fact, it’s sav-ing money because the gearisn’t going into a landfill.

While he acknowledgeda few departments are still

reluctant, he believes edu-cation efforts by his groupare slowly starting to lead tochange.

Back in Burnaby,Vogelis hoping that speaking outwill also help change mindsin some city halls.

“[We’re just trying] to do-nate to someone who actu-ally needs this equipment,it’s such a shame. … At leastwe’re giving them some-thing,” he said.

Where’s thecharity?

Burnaby politicians aretaking aim at the provin-cial government and how itspends some of the carbontax revenue, in light of risingproperty values in the cityand region.

On Monday, city councilpassed a resolution callingon the provincial govern-ment to review the home-owner grant program andcome up with a more “eq-uitable” distribution of thegrant across B.C.

Specifically, the politicianshave taken issue with thenorthern and rural homeowner benefit of $200,which comes out of carbontax revenue and is availablefor homeowners outside theGreaterVancouver, Capital

and FraserValley regionaldistricts.

Council argued thenorthern and rural grant isunfair, suggesting taxpayersin places like Burnaby aresubsidizing homeowners inother parts of B.C.

“The whole thing aboutproperty tax fairness is areal eye opener,” said Coun.Colleen Jordan. “If you’regoing to have a tax policy, itshould apply to the wholeprovince.”

She noted there are400,000 homeowners whoqualify for the northern andrural benefit, including incities likeWhistler, Kelownaand Prince George.

According to a staff re-port, property owners liv-ing within MetroVancou-ver, the Capital Region andFraserValley are entitled to

claim a basic grant of $570,and $845 for seniors aged65 or older.The report not-ed the grant amounts havenot changed since 2006 andare less than those providedin northern and rural areasof the province.

Eligible property ownerswithin northern and ruralareas are entitled to claima basic grant of $770 withseniors entitled to claim agrant of $1,045. Both grantswere increased by $200 in2011.

Why this matters, in theeyes of the city, is the num-ber of people in Burnabywho are losing their home-owner grants because of theskyrocketing property valuesand assessments.

While the province in-creased the grant

It’s a prime piece of realestate in an area of Burnabythat continues to develop.Now MetroVancouver hasto figure out how it wants tosell its 4330 Kingsway head-quarters and get the biggestreturn.

In about a year from now,some 900 staff at the re-gional district head officewill be moving to their newdigs a short distance awayat Metrotower III in Me-trotown Centre.

At about that time, MetroVancouver hopes to sell itscurrent office. Board chairGreg Moore said the re-gional district is still in theprocess of deciding exact-ly how it wants to sell theproperty, either by putting it

on the market or through arequest for bids.

He said the organizationwill be hiring a firm to helpwith the process.

“I think the process is ex-tremely important,” Mooretold the NOW. “A projectlike this, that it’s open andtransparent and people un-derstand what we’re goingthrough and how we’re po-sitioning the building whenwe sell it.”

The property was as-sessed at $86 million, butthe board chair suggestedthat would be on the lowside and a new assessmentwill be undertaken.

Moore believes the loca-tion of the current office willbe a sought-after propertywhen it comes time to sell,pointing out the growth inthe area.

In December, MetroVan-couver bought MetrotownIII for $205 million fromIvanhoe Cambridge withplans to have all the staffmoved in by 2017.

It’s expected MetroVan-couver will take about 13or 14 of the 29 floors, whilefive floors are already tak-en up by long-term tenants.Moore said the district hashired a firm to help con-struct and design the officesfor MetroVancouver.

The district also made abusiness case for the build-ing, suggesting it will savetaxpayers in the long run.

The operating budgetfor the new building is $4.2million, compared to $5.6million in the current office,with the savings expected to

continue for the next 20-plus years.

Part of the business casefor the purchase includesfinding tenants for the re-mainder of the floors. Again,Moore is confident in fillingthe building, noting realtorsworking with the organiza-tion believe there is demandfor office space, especiallygiven the location near Sky-Train and amenities.

“We think there is goingto be a good appetite for of-fice rental space there,” he

said.Burnaby Mayor Derek

Corrigan said the city willbe working with MetroVan-couver on the sale of the oldbuilding and its future landuses before it goes on themarket.

“This is to all of our ad-vantages to make surethey’re maximizing the prof-it they can make out of thebuilding, or at least makingsure they’re able to recouptheir money,” he said.

And Corrigan, likeMoore, is confident the lo-

cation will be a big sellingpoint for the property.

While the mayor said thecity has no interest in pur-chasing the building, hesuggested in the long run itwill probably become partof a bigger development.

“We don’t think it will sitthere idle; it’s too big of aninvestment,” Corrigan said.“I think it’s such an impor-tant location in what is inessence a gateway to Me-trotown.”

A local resident is voic-ing concerns about continu-al rainy-day construction ata Burnaby Mountain tankfarm he believes is causingincreased sediment runoffto spill into a nearby creek.

John Preissl first noticedthe muddy sediment a fewweeks ago, when he cameacross construction tak-ing place below the Kind-er Morgan tank farm locat-ed at the northeast cornerof Arden Avenue and Shell-mont Street.

Preissl, a communitystreamkeeper, worries therunoff into Eagle Creek willnegatively affect the salm-on fry.

“I was pissed off, to tellyou the truth,” he said.

Preissl said Kinder Mor-gan has continued to doheavy construction on the

site during the rainy seasonfor the past two years, de-spite being made aware ofsediment concerns.

After contacting Kind-er Morgan following his re-cent discovery, a communi-cations coordinator for the

company replied to Preissl,stating in an email that staff“inspected the work sitewithin the facility as well asthe creek below the facilityand they observed no issueswith sedimentation.”

Since his complaint, Pre-issl said Kinder Morganhas erected two large plas-tic tents over the construc-tion site to protect it from

heavy rainfall.There are alsosediment ponds on site de-signed to collect any run-off. However, Preissl be-lieves these measures aloneare not sufficient enough toprotect streams and creeksfrom runoff during heavyrainfall.

“Every time you emailKinder Morgan, you getthat kind of response. ‘Oh,there’s no problem here,’but there is a problem,” Pre-issl said.

In an email statement,Trans Mountain said it ad-dressed Preissl’s concernsand acknowledged con-struction had taken place inthe rain.

“At the time, it was rain-ing and storm water fromthe (tank farm) was beingchannelled through our re-tention basin, a procedurethat meets our permit re-quirements and is done inan environmentally respon-

sible manner,” said LizetteParsons Bell, a spokesper-son forTrans Mountain.

Still, Preissl believes Ea-gle Creek’s salmon popula-tion will continue to pay the

price for rainy day construc-tion.

“(Kinder Morgan) believethat their sediment pondstake care of this, but someof the runoff ends up in Ea-

gle Creek, not in the pond,”he said. “Basically, (the sed-iment) will smother theirgills and the salmon will suf-focate.”

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension?Do you sometimes feel that you can hearwell, but not fully understand what’s beingsaid? This can be most evident in socialconversations and watching television.Fortunately, theremaybea solution for somepeopledealingwith this typeof hearing losswith the Audéo Venture hearing aid whichhas been designed specifically to helpimprove speech comprehension withoutbeing noticeable in the ear.

Poor comprehension in conversation canpossibly be caused by undetected hearingloss in the high-frequency range.Thismeansthe sensory cells in the cochlea that hearhigh-range sounds are damaged as a result ofcirculatorydisorders, diabetes, suddenhearingloss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in thehigh frequency range makes speech soundmuffledandunclearmaking it difficult tohearconsonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.

Speech comprehension is even morechallenging when there is background noiseorwhen televisionprogramshavebackgroundmusic. The dilemma is that people withhearing loss in the high-frequency range donot consider themselves to have a hearingproblem. They can hear deep tones with no

issue, and often put difficulty understandingspeech down to unclear pronunciation.However, the timesooncomeswhenproblemswith comprehension become annoying.

Phonak AudéoVentureHearing AidsThis past year, Swiss audiologists havedeveloped a hearing aid that can, in qualifiedcandidates, improve speech comprehensionfor those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for afree demonstration of the Audéo Venturehearing aids by calling now to do so. Duringyour appointment, youwill be givenahearingtest and speech comprehension analysis. If

inner-ear damage is present, a hearing careprofessional will determine the differencerelative to normal hearing. These values arethenprogrammed into thehearingaids,whichprecisely take into account and balance thefrequency range of the person being tested.

The demonstration phase in particular isdesigned toclarifyhowspeechcomprehensioncan be improved in various situations andwhat role the hearing aid technology called“Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aidrecognizes where the person being spokento is located and amplifies only his or hervoice, while ambient noise is lowered andtheoptimumhearingprogramsare seamlesslyadjusted. Thanks to several synchronousmicrophones, the hearing system candetect sound in all directions and select thedirection that speech is coming from withinmilliseconds.According to Swiss researchers,this can significantly improve speechcomprehension, especially in conversationfor some clients.

Let’sstopthisracetothebottomB.C. has now earned

the dubious distinction ofhaving the lowest mini-mum wage in the country.That happened Friday, af-ter New Brunswick – pre-viously the province withthe lowest hourly wage –raised its minimum wage to$10.65, surpassing B.C.’srate of $10.45.

It’s a case of how movingvery, very slowly can be aw-fully close to standing still.

It’s not hard to see how

this occurred.The mini-mum wage was frozen at$8/hour for a decade be-tween 2001 and 2011.Only after that did it grad-ually start to rise.

B.C. is set to soon an-nounce another increasethat will go into effect inSeptember. But a growingnumber of critics are sug-gesting the 10 to 30 centsan hour expected isn’tnearly enough.Those be-hind a campaign for mini-

mum wage of $15 an hoursay bigger increases areneeded to bring the low-est wage earners above thepoverty line.

They raise some goodpoints.While the B.C.economy is often touted as“booming” compared toother parts of the country,it’s clear that is not the casefor everyone. Low-wageworkers tend to be those inthe service sector and aredisproportionately women

and new Canadians.While the minimum

wage has crawled upwardsin the past five years, thesame can’t be said for thecosts of necessities like rent,food and hydro, which havesurged. Making ends meetin the Lower Mainland onminimum wage – even forthose who work more thanfull time – is next to impos-sible.

As Irene Lanzinger,president of the B.C. La-

bour Federation said, “It’sshameful.”

We agree.There is something in-

herently unfair about legis-lating a wage that is impos-sible to live on.

Shirley Bond, the min-ister of jobs, tourism andskills training and minis-ter responsible for labour,said raising the minimumwage would be challengingfor B.C. businesses. Frank-ly, we think not raising it

is equally challenging forB.C. businesses. People liv-ing in B.C. have to buy ser-vices and products here – ifthey can’t afford to do that,obviously businesses sufferas well.

Now could be an excel-lent moment to considerhow B.C. can stop winningthis particular race to thebottom.

World Cup quest begins

Healthaccordwon’tbeeasy

No doubt the B.C. gov-ernment and other prov-inces are still basking in theafter-glow of theTrudeaugovernment’s big spend-ing budget that sends po-tentially billions of new dol-lars their way, but there wasone glaring omission in thatbudget that has yet to be ad-dressed.That would be thefederal government’s shareof spending in the most ex-pensive part of all govern-ment departments: healthcare.

Next year, in 2017/18,federal health transfers tothe provinces will increaseby less than three per cent.That is about half the sizeof the annual increase thatprovinces have enjoyed forthe last 10 years or so.Thischange was initiated by theformer Harper government,which arbitrarily decided totie annual funding increas-es for health care to the in-crease in the gross domesticproduct.

The difference in percent-ages may seem small, butbecause provincial health-care systems are so vast andso expensive, the gap be-tween a three per cent liftand a six per cent hike canequal hundreds of millionsof dollars.The latest federalbudget gives no sign of de-parting from the new rulesset down by the previousfederal government.

Now, theTrudeau govern-ment has pledged to negoti-ate a new health accord withthe provinces but has pro-vided no clues about whatshape it is going to take orwhether it will even revisit

the notion of tying increas-es to health care funding toeconomic growth rates.

It’s conceivable the fed-eral government may wantto make any additional in-crease available only withsome strings attached. Forexample, it may insist onany additional money gointo something like homecare, which was a majorplank in the federal Liberalelection platform (but whichdid not materialize in thisbudget).

In any event, some toughbargaining may lie ahead forthe provinces.

Of special concern toB.C. and to the Atlan-tic provinces is how feder-al spending on health carewill be allocated.The cur-rent rules, called the CanadaHealthTransfer, distributethe money on a per-capi-ta basis.

That seems fair until onerealizes that not all peopleincur the same health costsat the same rate.

The vast majority ofany individual’s use of thehealth-care system occursbefore the age of five and, inparticular, after the age of70 and onwards. B.C. andthe Atlantic provinces havethe oldest populations byfar, so they will pay a dispro-portionately high penalty inthis new arrangement.

Time for those new healthaccord talks to begin in ear-nest, or else all those smilesover the federal budget willturn to frowns in no time.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

regardless. The cost of running thepool doesnot increase if a fewextra people are in thewater. Samewith theweight roomsandotheractivities that thepasses allowaccess to.Providing single use leisure passes to the

refugees introduces them to the amenities ofBurnaby.It is away to show themwhat is available

and to encourage them touse the facilities inthe future as paying customers.Plus, I think it’s a nice gesture sayingwel-

come toour community.KarinAlzner, Burnabyparks, recreationand cultural commissioner

Burnaby MP shouldwalk the walk onsexism in politicsDear Editor Itwaswith sincere interest thatI read the crisp and insightful article in theBurnabyNOWonMarch 1.The title of the article says it all: “Burnaby

MPKennedyStewartwants toput aprice onsexism inpolitics.”I agreewholeheartedlywithMr. Kennedy’s

position andbelieve him tohave the requisitesincerity and integrity necessary in the currentCanadianParliamentary system. Aquick re-viewofWikipedia’s article “Women in the 42ndCanadianParliament” shows theNDP in theleadwith highest percentageofwomencan-

didates out oftotal numbercandidates at42.8 per cent.However,they havefallen shortof their owntarget of 45per cent. Forshame!

Clearly someoneofMr. Kennedy’s acknowl-edged sincerity and integrity cannot allowthis situation to continue. I therefore call onMr. Kennedy to immediately resignhis seat,effective immediately, and call for a byelectionwhere onlywomencandidateswill be allowedfor all political parties.In addition, onlywomenwill be allowed to

vote, since clearly the status quo is not produc-ing thedesired effect.Finally, oncewehave chosenanewMPof

thedesired sex,Mr. Kennedywill be free tovisit NorthKorea, or anyother absolutist stateof his choice to expounduponhis views to acaptive audience.StephenMeighan, Burnaby

Some 4,000Burnaby homeowners whowere eligible for a grant in2015, will not be in 2016.

Mayor Derek Corrigan

blasted the provincial gov-ernment, suggesting theLiberals are using the car-bon tax to buy votes in oth-er parts of the province.

“If this doesn’t out-rage people, what will?” heasked.

The mayor also ar-gued much of the econo-my is generated in the Low-er Mainland, and that it isa myth this region dependson industries in rural andNorthern B.C.

“I don’t really care if peo-ple in northern and ruralB.C. don’t like this report.It’s unfair and what they[the provincial government]are doing is unfair,” Corri-gan said.

The city is also asking theUnion of B.C. Municipali-ties to petition the financeminister to review the grantprogram.

Volunteer streamkeep-ers are calling on Burnabyresidents to help keep Ea-gle Creek flush with wildsalmon.

Every year, the EagleCreek Streamkeepers lettens of thousands of chumloose in the local stream,and they want communitymembers to help release thesmall salmon.

“Eagle Creek is definite-ly benefitting, as are the oth-er creeks that drain in toBurnaby Lake, such as StillCreek,” said Helen Soder-holm, a volunteer stream-keeper. “Some of the small-er creeks on the oppositeside of Burnaby Lake arealso seeing fish where therehaven’t been any for manydecades.”

Soderholm said the eventis popular with families, aschildren like to release thebags full of little fish into thecreek. Many salmon comehome to spawn years later.

In 2014, streamkeep-ers counted 200 return-ing chum spawners in EagleCreek. Last fall, they onlycounted 50, although So-derholm is sure there were

more, but the waters weretoo murky to see clearly.

The fish release is on Sat-urday, April 9.This year’sevent runs from 10:30 a.m.to 1 p.m. at Charles Rum-

mel Park, just off Govern-ment Road and Lozells Av-enue.

There isn’t just one youngheroine in Burnaby CentralSecondary School’s stagingof The Diary of Anne Frank.There are many – and di-rector Carol Mann hopesthe combined strength oftheir voices delivers a pow-erful message to their audi-ence.

Mann is bringing aunique staging of the play tothe stage at Burnaby Cen-tral next week, with showsfrom April 13 to 16.

The stage adaptation ofthe famous diary, kept bya Jewish teenager in hidingduring the SecondWorldWar, has been a major un-dertaking for the more than35 students involved as castand crew.

Mann was inspired tobring the production to thestage after seeing it at theStratford Festival last sum-mer, in a production wherethe actors came out to ad-dress the audience with per-sonal messages. But Mannwas faced with one majorchallenge: the script onlycalls for 10 actors, and shehad 29 students to cast.

So she double- and tri-ple-casted the parts – and,in the case of Anne herself,she created parts for sevenyoung narrators. Lines fromAnne’s diary are often readin voice-over; instead, Mannhas each young Anne comeout to read the lines, thenpass the diary on to the nextgirl with an embrace.

“In front of the audience,we see the transference fromone Anne to another,” sheexplains.

The cast and crew alsocontributed their own dia-ry excerpts for the play, andMann chose short piecesto be pulled out and read

by the cast to the audience.Some record ordinary, day-to-day happenings; othersare “profoundly insightful”reflections about students’own experiences and worldevents.

“I want this story to be asuniversal as it can be,” shesays. “It’s so topical withwhat’s happening aroundthe world, with migrantsand warring countries.”

Yes, Mann admits, thesubject matter is heavy (sheemphasizes that the play isnot suitable for children un-

der 10) and there may betears – but, she says, it’s alsosurprisingly fun.

“The play focuses on peo-ple learning to live togeth-er in very awkward situa-tions,” she says. “They havefun, they tease each oth-er, they get mad, they playcards, they dance. …Theseare people.They don’t knowtheir outcome.”

The students have pouredtheir hearts and souls intothe process, Mann says, andthey’ve undertaken moreresearch than usually goes

into a spring drama produc-tion – including a cast visitto the Holocaust Centre.

Their dramatic efforts on-stage will be complementedby technology, in the form

of visual projections, andby music, in the form of theschool’s Resonance Choir.The choir, under the direc-tion of CarrieTaylor, comesonstage and circles the cast

for the closing scene, sing-ing a choral rendition of theprayer of St. Francis (“Letme be an instrument ofpeace”) as the family’s hid-ing place is discovered andthey are led away.

There’s even a closingmovement number, involv-ing all 29 students, that de-livers the overriding mes-sage of the diary and of theplay itself.

“To me, it’s Anne’s voiceto the audience: ‘I’ve beenloved, I’ve been loved.’”

Longstanding traditionsmeet contemporary art inthe next exhibition at Burn-aby Art Gallery.

The gallery is preparingfor Hope Chests, a new ex-hibition opening April 8 andrunning until June 12.

The work is a large-scaleinstallation produced by theVancouver-based Japaneseartist Michiko Suzuki, whohas created eight intimateportraits chronicling thestruggles of young womenfrom different cultural back-grounds.

Each portrait includes asilk tent fitted with a tableand box containing artworkto serve as a chest of mem-ories – combining photog-raphy, digital and tradition-al printmaking techniques,fabric and intricate collagework.

The artwork draws fromJapanese traditional cus-toms, materials and form,incorporating references toKiri boxes, shapes reminis-cent of kimonos and theuse of white silk as in Shin-

to rituals. At the same time,it questions contemporaryconcerns around global pol-itics, human rights, identi-ty and memory, telling thestories of young women in-cluding a victim of war inCambodia who now lives inVancouver, and a survivor ofthe Fukushima nuclear di-saster.

Suzuki is known for cre-ating large-scale toner-etch-ings, using a technique she

originated and refined. Shestarted this series in the late2000s and the work was firstshown inTokyo as part ofa group show Printmaking,eh? Four Artists Expandingthe Boundaries, at the Ca-nadian Embassy’s PrinceTakamado Gallery.

Suzuki is originally fromTokyo and graduated fromthe Musashino Art Univer-sity to train and work as amaster printer. She has beenliving and working inVan-couver since 2006 and hasexhibited internationally inCanada, Europe and South-east Asia.

Michiko Suzuki: HopeChests begins in the up-per gallery April 8 to May19 and then expands to thelower gallery May 20 toJune 12. Burnaby Art Gal-lery is at 6344 Deer LakeAve. and is openTuesday toFriday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,Saturday and Sunday, noonto 5 p.m. Admission is bydonation (suggested dona-tion of $5).

For local activist andBurnaby Heights businessowner Eric Mathias, thepractice of yoga isn’t justabout exercise and medita-tion – it’s about giving back.

Throughout April, theMokshaYoga Burnaby co-owner and chair of GrowYourYoga 2016, is deter-mined to see his studio raise$10,000 for the PullTogeth-er initiative. PullTogetherprovides financial supportto First Nations’ in environ-

mental legal battles againstcompanies such as KinderMorgan andTrans Moun-tain.The studio has raised$1,182 to date.

“It’s not just about oneperson sweating it out ontheir mat. It’s about peopleunited in cause and inten-tion,” said Mathias. “It’s re-ally about expanding what ayoga practice does.”

The GrowYourYoga an-nual event unites over 70Moksha/ModoYoga stu-dios across the world ina month-long fundrais-ing campaign. Last year,

$138,500 was raised for BigBrothers Big Sisters Can-ada.This year, the studioshave turned their atten-tion to combating climatechange. In addition to PullTogether, GrowYourYoga2016 is also fundraising forthe David Suzuki Foun-dation, MaasaiWildernessConservation and 350.org.

During the campaign,MokshaYoga Burnaby willbe donating all the proceedsfrom weekly workshops andkarma classes, as well as anytowel and mat rental fees.The studio will also be host-

ing a silent auction with do-nated gifts from local mer-chants.

Mathias believes the cam-paign is a good way to con-nect yoga back to its chari-table roots.

“Yoga is activism in ac-tion.”

Anyone interested inmaking an online donationcan visit www.crowdrise.com/mokshayogaburnaby1.To register for their weeklyworkshops, go to burnaby.mokshayoga.ca/classes.

EDCfaltersinU21finalBurnaby team rallies but can’thold off Guildford in cup [email protected]

As losses go, Saturday’s 3-2 at the hands of Guild-ford FC put a frosty chill in what had to that point beenan extremely strong season for the Estrella de Chile FCBurnaby.

While it came in the Under-21 Cup final, it won’t bethe bookend to a year which saw the mostly 1998-bornlineup stride up the standings for a regular season title.

Burnaby still has the the big prize -- the provincialcup in July -- to focus on, with the potential for redemp-tion. Still, losing is never easy to digest.

“It was disappointing, for sure,” said EDC assistantcoach Gio Hernandez. “It was fairly 50-50 (possession)game but as coaches we thought it was one of our less-er (efforts).”

Although they trailed 1-0 midway through the first,Burnaby hit for the equalizer quickly with a markerfrom Kalifa Konneh, then took the lead when netmind-er Savo Bogicevic stepped out from the box and deliv-ered on the penalty kick.

The final 45 minutes proved to be a test against a ri-val loaded with 20 year olds, as Burnaby’s roster leansheavily on 17- and 18-year olds.

Guildford made it 2-2 on a penalty kick early in thesecond half, then reclaimed the lead at the 70th minuteon a goalline scramble as they ramped up the offence.

“(Guildford’s) penalty-kick goal kind of swung thegame as it seemed to give them some life and the mo-mentum.They elevated their game,” said Hernandez.

With the tide having turned, it was all EDC could doto muster up a good scoring chance behind a suddenlyunbending defensive resolve from their Surrey rivals.

“We tried to push (forward) but we couldn’t find thatextra space when we needed it.”

Definitely hampered by a month-long layoff, with ahandful of players getting called up to play with the pre-mier side, the club were not as sharp as they’d shownduring a long successful regular season run, he noted.

Although they were dejected, losing in the final to ateam they had beaten twice in the regular season, Her-nandez said the message he and head coach Zico Najmconveyed was to be disappointed, but to learn from it.

“We won the league and we were very optimistic thatwe could pull (the cup win) off,” said Hernandez. “Theboys were very discouraged but they had nothing to beashamed about.”

Now the focus turns to July’s provincial champion-ships, where EDC, Guildford, Surrey United and Co-quitlam Metro-Ford will spar for B.C. bragging rights.

“We’ll put this one behind us and focus on the pro-vincials,” added Hernandez.

SFUathletesnarrowgapinnationalqualifyingElla Brown doubled-up on the triple.The junior Simon Fraser University track

athlete won back-to-back triple jumps at apair of meets in San Francisco on the week-end, one of a handful of teammates provi-sionally qualifying for the NCAA Div. 2 na-tional outdoor championships.

Brown began by hitting an 11.88-metreheight at the San Francisco State DistanceCarnival on Friday, and moved the mark to12.02m at the Stanford Invitational a daylater, setting a new personal best with theninth overall distance in NCAA Div. 2.

“This is a big breakthrough for Ella,”Clan head coach BritTownsend said. “It

was a personal best and this will give her agood chance to make the outdoor champi-onships.”

The automatic qualifying standard in thewomen’s triple jump is 12.70m.

Burnaby’s Cameron Proceviat also se-cured a provisional qualifying time in his800m middle distance race. His time of1:50.85 at Stanford placed the SFU seniorin 11th spot, while he currently is rankedeighth overall in the NCAA.The officialqualifying time needed to lock up a berth is1:49.00.

Also reaching provisional qualifying stan-dards at the Carnival were junior 1500m

runner Marc-Antoine Rouleau, 5000m run-ner Rebecca Bassett, and Sophie Dodd, inthe 800m.

Rouleau’s time placed him third over-all, while Bassett finished fourth in her race.Both are currently ranked second in theGreat Northwest Athletic Conference intheir respective events.

Dodd won her heat and finished fourthoverall, joining Alana Mussatto who earnedher provisional qualifying time earlier in thetrack season.

Also returning with memorable markswere AlexWu, who set a personal best in themen’s long jump of 7.03m, Daniel

Kelloway, who won the 400m in a time of48.16, Miryam Bassett and Julia Howley,who placed second and third respectively inthe mile race, and Monique Lisek, who fin-ished third overall in the 400m hurdles.

CLANHOOPCOACHSTEPSDOWN

The search is on for a new men’s bas-ketball head coach afterVirgil Hill resignedfrom his post at SFU after one season.

After a disappointing 2-24 overall re-cord, including just one conference win,Hill stepped down after a tumultuous year.A number of players left the program dur-ing the season.
