A woman in her 60s con-victed of stabbing her friendand heroin dealer 21 timesin a Burnaby apartment willspend at least the next 11years behind bars.

A jury in B.C. SupremeCourt foundTrudy GailHunter guilty of second de-gree murder in the death of

Christina Docherty and onWednesday, a judge decidedshe wouldn’t be eligible forparole during her life sen-tence for 11 years.

The Crown was seeking a12.5-year minimum, whileher lawyer was asking for 10years, the same recommen-dation as the jury.

The court heard thatHunter and Docherty, whowere both 60 at the time

of the murder, were goodfriends, and that Hunterhad purchased heroin fromthe victim in her Burnabyapartment for years.

On Nov. 30, 2013, Hunt-er was in Docherty’s apart-ment when she stabbed her21 times with kitchen steakknife.The victim’s body wasfound two days later by herdaughter.

During the trial, which

spanned several weeks inJanuary and February,Crown argued Hunter wentover to Docherty’s apart-ment to steal heroin andmoney. Hunter, meanwhile,testified a fight broke out af-ter an argument, and it wasDocherty who had come ather with a knife.

Hunter wasn’t arrest-ed and charged until Aprilof 2014. At the time, court

heard she denied killing Do-cherty, arguing she had noreason to kill her friend,adding she couldn’t havedone it because of a rightarm injury. Hunter claimedit was another customerwho had attacked Docherty,and she didn’t know shedied. A fingerprint and footprint indicated Hunter wasat the home, however, andthe Crown’s case suggest-

ed she tried to remove evi-dence by wiping a numberof areas in the apartmentcovered in blood and throw-ing away the knife.

In reading her sentence,Justice Heather Holmes alsodetailed the murder, notingthe wound that killed Do-cherty was directly to theheart, also pointing out shehad her throat slashed

An emaciated dog foundnearly dead will live the restof his life swimming in theocean and going for runswith his new adoptive fam-ily.

Anderson Cooper, theyellow lab-husky taken in

byThe Journey Home DogRescue, moved to his newhome inTsawwassen thispast weekend.

“We’re super happywith Cooper. He’s suchan amazing dog,” said Di-anaThompson, the moth-er in the new adoptive fam-ily.Thompson explained thefamily dog passed away lastspring, and they were finally

ready for a new companion.“We thought we were

ready to open up our heartsto a new dog, and we’dbeen looking since Novem-ber.”

Burnaby resident JanCarroll, co-founder ofTheJourney Home Dog Res-cue, was overwhelmed withadoption requests for An-derson Cooper, or “Coo-

per” as she calls him. Onceshe posted his adoptionprofile online, there wereroughly 150 people hop-ing to adopt the stray. Coo-per was found last fall in anabandoned farm buildingin Matsqui, emaciated andnearly dead. He’s since re-covered and has developeda friendly temperament.

“He is the happiest, mostgood-natured puppy. Hedoesn’t have a mean bone

in his body,” Carroll said.Carroll said she chose the

family, which lives close tothe beach because they werethe more physically active,athletic family.

“Cooper will be swim-ming, running and cyclingwith his new family,” shesaid. “He’ll get all the exer-cise he needs.”

Carroll is ecstatic Coopersurvived.

“I believe that I found

the perfect home for him,that they will love him andcare for him for the rest ofhis life. It’s a match made inheaven for Anderson Coo-per,” Carroll said.

Carroll chose the namebecause the dog looks likeAnderson Cooper, theCNN news anchor.

A ‘match made in heaven’ for Anderson Cooper

Some of the Kinder Mor-gan opponents from theBattle on Burnaby Moun-tain have their sights ona new target – the Site Cdam.

Vancouver resident AmyWidmer, 27, who was ar-rested at the NEB hearingsin Burnaby, helped set upthe protest camp outsideof the B.C. Hydro buildingon Dunsmuir Street inVan-couver. One of the camp-ers, Kristin Henry, has beenon a hunger strike for weeksand is now in the hospital,as her heart rate has slowed.

“The main message is thisdam should not be built. It’sa gross misuse of taxpay-ers’ dollars. B.C. Hydro saidwe don’t need the power.It’s also going to infringe onTreaty Eight territory rights

and taking away the mostarable, fertile soil in North-ern B.C.,”Widmer said.

After Henry was hospital-ized the night of March 31,Widmer is worried.

“It’s kind of like a realitycheck.The hunger strike as-pect can happen forever,”she said.

B.C. Hydro is buildingan $8 billion dam on thePeace River in NorthernB.C. to generate electricity,and the expected comple-tion date is 2024.The proj-ect has drawn numerouscourt challenges and oppo-sition from people raisingconcerns about First Na-tions rights, climate changeand environmental degra-dation.

There are also people likeBurnaby resident Mia Nis-

sen, Destiny Sharp, DanWallace and Audrey Siegl,prominent pipeline oppo-nents, who’ve made an ap-pearance at the B.C. Hydrocamp.

“There are quite a fewpeople who were involved inthe Burnaby Mountain stuffthat are also getting involvedin the Site C camp,”Wid-mer told the NOW.

B.C.Hydro’s Dave Con-way, a spokesperson forthe Site C project, said thedam is required to meet fu-ture electricity needs, as theprovince’s population is ex-pected to grow by 1 millionover 20 years.

As for the hospitalizedhunger striker, Conway saidhe doesn’t want to see anyharm come to her.

A Burnaby man is fac-ing murder charges relatedto a body found in a pop-ular Lower Mainland out-door area.

The Integrated Homi-cide InvestigationTeam an-nounced a charge of sec-ond degree murder againstRyan Jack Armstrong, 29, ofBurnaby, related to the dis-covery of a woman’s body atStave Lake in Mission earli-er this week.Armstrong, who has nocriminal record and is notknown to police, is also fac-ing a charge of indignity to ahuman body.

“It’s our belief at thispoint they were known to

each other, and until wepositively ID (the victim)and say ‘That’s who we’redealing with,’ then I can’tget into what their relation-ship is,” said IHIT spokes-person Sgt. Stephanie Ash-ton.

While IHIT hasn’t re-leased the name of the vic-tim, various media outletshave identified her asVikkiHeppner, 28.

Also according to sever-al media reports, Heppnerwas being investigated byAlberta RCMP for allegedlystealing thousands of dollarsfrom a charity.

According to the TimminsDaily Press, she was impli-cated in a fraudulent crowd-funding campaign, whichclaimed to be raising money

for the children and widowof a Sudbury man, RogerBelanger, who died in a carcrash last summer.

The publication also not-ed Armstrong is originallyfromTimmins but movedaway to live in B.C., a fewyears ago.

Meanwhile, IHIT didn’thave any details on why thealleged suspect was in theMission area, or where themurder took place, notingit’s a detail that will be partof the investigation.

“It’s a really heavily trav-elled area for people wholike the outdoors… there’speople from all over theLower Mainland that go upthere,” Ashton said.

between five and 10 times.She said the “disturb-

ing” feature of the attack re-quired Hunter’s parole to beset beyond the 10-year min-imum. Holmes noted the ef-fect the murder has had onthe community, and specifi-cally on Docherty’s daugh-ter, who can’t be identifieddue to a publication ban.

“It’s not difficult to un-derstand the pain she feltfinding her mother’s body,”Holmes said, noting thedaughter now has to livewithout the assistance of hermother.

The judge also said Hunt-er had not had an “easy

life” and showed “extremeremorse” for the murder.Apart from Hunter’s hero-in addiction, Holmes said,Hunter had been a contrib-

uting member of society,having two kids of her own.

Holmes explained Hunt-er had a heroin addic-tion in her late teens, buthad kicked the drug until aworkplace injury years later.

She was prescribed Oxy-Contin for pain, but turnedto heroin by 2005 because itwas less expensive.

After the sentencing,Crown counsel GeordieProulx said he was pleasedwith the judge’s reasons andreflected on the case.

“I don’t want to say it’ssad, but it’s just what some-times happens,” he said,suggesting the potentialconsequences of drug use.

However, Proulx also saidnot all heroin addicts are vi-olent, calling the level of vio-lence in Docherty’s murder“inexplicable.”

“It was a strange aspect ofthis trial,” he said.

called to the area of Flor-ence Lake Service Road justafter 5 p.m. on March 29after receiving a report offound human remains.

It was at that point IHITinvestigators took over thecase and moved quickly to

identify a suspect. IHIT alsocouldn’t say where Arm-strong was arrested.

“An important piece tothis investigation was thesupport of the public whocame forward with infor-mation that has aided in therapid progression from ini-

tial investigation to chargeapproval,” Ashton said.

Armstrong appeared incourtThursday and will re-main in custody until hisnext court appearance onApril 21.

Burnaby schools are inbetter financial shape thantheirVancouver counter-parts, according to prelimi-nary budget projections, butlocal parents say that’s notgood enough.

The school district pre-sented a first look at nextyear’s financial picture ata public budget meetingWednesday.

School officials project anet $3.5 million operatingshortfall next year, whichthey plan to cover withsome of the district’s $6.4million in unrestricted re-serves.

The preliminary figuresreflect a projected 70-stu-dent increase in regularschool-age enrolment, a26-student decrease amongspecial needs students and49 more international stu-dents.

The numbers also show amodest $2 million increasein the district’s provincialoperating grant and a $2million increase in interna-

tional student fees.Overall operating costs,

meanwhile, are projected tobe up by about $4.5 million.

The district is proposingno reductions for next yearand plans to maintain cur-rent service levels and pro-grams.

While that sounds likegood news compared to the$27-million shortfall pro-jected byVancouver schoolboard, which now faces de-cisions about school clo-sures and teacher layoffs,the Burnaby district parentadvisory council (DPAC)says the province has short-changed local schools forthe last five years.

“We feel that our dis-trict is fiscally well man-aged and are aware that, al-though we are feeling thecuts in Burnaby, it could bemuch worse,” DPAC chairJen Mezei stated in a pressreleaseWednesday. “Butthe ‘good news’ in this bud-get presentation is not really‘good news’ when you takefive years and nearly $10million in budget cuts intocontext. These cuts are due

to the chronic underfund-ing of the education systemand this is not just a Burn-aby problem; it is a provin-cial issue. Many parentsfrom all parts of the prov-ince are seeing cuts in theirchildren’s classrooms andin services and supports totheir children.”

The parent body passed aresolution at a meeting April4 to voice concern overnearly $10 million in cuts tostaffing, resources, suppliesand services from the Burn-aby district budget com-pared to five years ago.

DPAC is now calling onthe government to act ona November 2014 selectstanding committee on fi-nance and government ser-vices report, which calledfor stable and adequatefunding for quality pub-lic education, including dis-trict’s repair and mainte-nance needs; support forK-12 initiatives like person-alized learning and tradesand technology training;and resources for a growingnumber special needs andESL students.

Guesswhatthebestpartof this job isThere are a lot of great

benefits for journalistsworking at a communitynewspaper.

We’re not talking aboutthe free coffee, the fun co-workers, the freedom to beon Facebook whenever youwant.

We’re also not talkingabout the ability to find outall sorts of interesting stuffand share it with readers.You know, the stories aboutpolicing, politics and busi-ness ventures.The news

that can be captivating, butnot always inspiring.

No, we’re talking abouta single benefit that alwaysmakes us appreciate ourjobs.

The privilege of coveringyoung people diving intothe community with bothfeet and full hearts.Withoptimism and generosity.

A community newspa-per has a front-row seat be-cause, well, we’re the me-dia that gives a damn aboutBurnaby. And we’re there

at school events and schoolboard meetings to see thevery best of young people.

It is such an incrediblecontradiction to the con-stant white noise of howbad, or lazy, or apatheticyoung people are.We knowthis to be one of those greatgeneralizations about teen-agers that is simply untrue.

Our latest sampling onceagain reminds us of this.

Take Aki Ediriweera, forexample.The Grade 12student realized there was a

problem in his neighbour-hood when his grandmoth-er was put at risk whilewalking to the bus stop.There was no sidewalk. Akidecided to do somethingabout it, and he did. Andnow he wants to help oth-er seniors in the city. (ForAki’s full story go to www.burnabynow.com)

And then this week oureducation reporter, Corne-lia Naylor, had the fun jobof judging the Burnaby’s

GotTalent contest at theMichael J. FoxTheatre onTuesday night.

Sixteen acts from Burn-aby’s eight public highschools performed for apacked crowd and showedtalent, courage and spirit– raising nearly $5,000 forthe BurnabyYouth Hub inthe process.

Naylor’s story and pho-tos are on page 14 of to-day’s paper.

Of course, these aren’tthe only stories showing the

bright side of our youngpeople. Every edition thereis something that remindsus of not just the promiseof youth, but their ability toremain optimistic when theworld seems to be trying toturn them into pessimists.

Yes, free coffee is great(and endlessTimbits aren’tso bad either), but havingspecial access to witness-ing and sharing the verybest of young people in thiscity is a job perk that can’tbe beat.

Unionscan’tmakethe laws

For more than a decade,the B.C. government andthe B.C.Teachers’ Feder-ation (BCTF) have beenlocked in an expensive (andmessy) court battle. Hang-ing in the balance is the abil-ity of elected officials to setpublic policy priorities.

B.C.’s last New Demo-cratic Party governmentagreed to a sweetheart dealwith the BCTF – one of itskey union allies – which in-cluded restrictions on classsize and class composition,and cost taxpayers millionsof dollars by forcing schoolsto hire more teachers.TheNDP was swept out of pow-er soon after, winning justtwo of 79 seats in 2001.Gordon Campbell and theB.C. Liberals took over,with a clear and resoundingmandate to right the fiscalship by controlling costs andcutting taxes.

Campbell legislated a newcontract, which removedthe aforementioned provi-sions.The union was en-raged and took the govern-ment to court. Many yearslater, a court held that itwas unconstitutional for thegovernment to legislative-ly amend collective agree-ments in this way.The judgegave the two parties a yearto renegotiate the con-tract.When a settlementstill could not be reached,the government again in-troduced legislation andthe BCTF again took it tocourt. B.C. Supreme CourtJustice Susan Griffin effec-tively ruled that importantterms in a contract between

the B.C. government anda government union couldnot be modified without theconsent of both parties, un-less there were “exigent” or“urgent” circumstances.

Fortunately, a year lat-er, the B.C. Court of Ap-peal overturned this deci-sion.The appeal court noted– quite rightly – that the trialjudge’s approach effective-ly provides “workers with apresumptive constitutionalveto” over education policy.

The BCTF is now ap-pealing to the SupremeCourt of Canada. Our orga-nization, the CanadianTax-payers Federation (CTF),plans to file an intervenorapplication, to stand up forthe ability of duly elect-ed governments to carryout their democratic man-date, and for the taxpayers,who, if the BCTF succeeds,would be stuck with the tabfor union-friendly sweet-heart deals negotiated byprevious administrations.

While courts have histori-cally deferred to elected of-ficials when it comes to pol-icy decisions, there has beena troubling trend in the oth-er direction recently. Courtsare increasingly steppinginto the shoes of politicians– and expanding Charterrights in a way that couldprove not only outrageouslyexpensive for all Canadians,but corrosive to our democ-racy, as well.Voters and tax-payers need to push back.AaronWudrick is the federal

director and Jordan Batemanis the B.C.director for the Ca-nadianTaxpayers Federation.

Young advocate’sstory made his dayDear Editor I was sodelighted readingof thebus stop victory in theMarch 30 edition. Thisrelated the efforts of Grade 12 student AkiEdiriweera lobbying the city for changes at hislocal bus stop tohelp frail elderlywait safelyfor the local bus.Akiwasmoved todo something, onnotic-

ing howhis grandmother had little space towait, threatenedby local traffic. His effortswere several and successful. The supportivecomments byCoun. SavDhaliwal onAki’s nextinitiative for a community hotline for seniors toreport safety concerns to the city indicates heis beingnoticed. I agreeother avenuesmightalsobeused: the city central line toBurnabyCityHall, the various seniors’ centres. I feelmoreways of reporting any concerns shouldbealwayswelcome for any age.This youngmanhas alreadymadean

impact in his neighbourhood, and Iwishhimwell. The frequent reporting of youthfulmiscreants often canovershadow themanygoodefforts of youngsters of that age in theirschools and communities.An appreciative readerwhosedaywas

Mayor is missing theboat on new galleryDear EditorRe: Art gallery plans to take asmall step forward,BurnabyNOW,March 4.I amnot amember of theBurnabyArts

Council but I did attend theBurnaby city coun-cilmeetingonFeb. 22,where the arts councilmadeapresentation in support of a studyon the feasibility anddesirability of build-ing anewart gallery inBurnaby.Once againthemayor hasmissed thepoint entirely andshownhis lack of understandingof theBurn-abyArts Council’s presentation.His apparentlack of support on thismatter startedwith aharsh rebuke centeredon thedelegation’s in-nocent omissionof a referendumon themat-ter of a newart gallery thatwasdefeatedbythe voters in 1987,when thepopulationwasabout 150,000 (nowapproaching 250,000) andBill Vander Zalmwaspremier. This is hardlyrelevant today considering that the issueof anewart gallery has beenencouragedby theBurnabyArts Council repeatedly for at leastthepast 30 yearswith little or no enthusiasmfromBurnaby city council.Burnabyhasdonewell byproviding ample

swimmingpools, soccer fields and ice rinks,but it is sadly lackingwhen it comes to a 21st-century art gallery.Mayor Corrigan ismissing akeypiece in thebig picture for a city likeBurna-by. An art gallery forms the centre aroundwhich the visual arts can flourish. CeperleyHousehasoutlived its role asBurnaby’s artgallery due tomanybuilding-related issues.TheBurnabyArts Council did its jobof

showingpublic support andadvising themayor and council onmatters pertaining tothe visual arts inBurnaby. Now it is time forthemayor and council to listen to this adviceandmove forward tobringBurnaby fully intothe 21st century and support the constructionof amodern art gallery in a locationmore ac-cessible to thepublic.DarcyOlson,Burnaby

Burnaby residents arewelcome to pay their re-spects to aVancouver Is-land RCMP officer killed inthe line of duty earlier thisweek.

Burnaby RCMP have setup a table of condolencesfor Const. Sarah Beckett in-side the local detachment at6355 Deer lake Ave., whileflowers are being placedoutside a memorial cairn infront of the building.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj.John Buis said the book ofcondolences will be out forthe public until just afterBeckett’s funeral service, forwhich arrangements haven’tbeen made yet.

“People just begin bring-ing flowers, it’s very niceand we appreciate that,”he said, noting people canalso make a donation to thefamily or a charity of their

choice. “It gives the publica chance to show that theycare, and they want to showtheir respects.”

Beckett, aWest ShoreRCMP officer, was killedTuesday morning after hermarked police cruiser was

hit by a truck.The 32-year-old was a

member of the RCMP for11 years and leaves behinda husband and two youngchildren.

Public hearing on highrise Teen released on bailMermaids Are Real

Firefighters’ talksstallonarbitrator

[email protected] could be 2016 before Burnaby fire-

fighters get a new contract, and that’s only

if the city and union can agree on an arbi-

trator.It’s been nearly four months since the

City of Burnaby and the International Asso-

ciation of Firefighters Local 323, which rep-

resents 281 firefighters in Burnaby, met for

mediation, and since then there has been

minimal movement towards a new contract.

In fact, both parties are still trying to

agree on an arbitrator.

“It’s kind of hard to decide when they

keep throwing back the same name to us.

We’ve offered four and they offered three,

and then we said no to the three and then

they offered one of the three back again to

us,” said Rob Lamoureux, president of Lo-

cal 323.Lamoureux said the union’s top choice is

well-known arbitratorVince Ready, who re-

cently negotiated a deal for firefighters in

Prince George, but because he’s so in-de-

mand, it’s unlikely he would be available be-

fore the new year.Lambert Chu, deputy city manager and

liaison for the Burnaby Fire Department, is

hoping, however, to get the process moving

as soon as possible.“We’re trying to find an arbitrator that

has a fairly open schedule to allow us to get

a quick appointment so that the case can be

heard,” Chu said.At this point, however, Lamoureux said

he and the firefighters are willing to wait for

the right arbitrator, especially since they’ve

been waiting more than three years for a

new contract.“We’ve waited so long we want to make

sure we get the right arbitrator,” Lamou-

reux said. “I don’t want to take our chances

and roll the dice with anybody. Another six

months, it’s no big deal now, we’re already

three years in.”The NOW asked Chu if anyone on coun-

cil or the mayor was trying to drag this pro-

cess out, considering how long it’s taken so

far, but he was adamant that council and

the mayor aren’t involved in the negotia-

tions.“This is done right at the staff level.This

contract negotiation is carried out through

the city manager’s office and a representa-

tive from the fire union, and we basically

keep our council informed of the progress,

but the council isn’t involved in any negoti-

ation,” Chu said.Lamoureux doesn’t buy that.

“I would disagree. I can’t believe that,”

he said. “I can’t believe that this is being …

controlled by the city manager’s office.

“You look at common sense and you look

at what’s gone on in the whole region.We’re

at 22 locals – two arbitrated and 20

Review:Changescomingtotransit [email protected]

The results are in, andchanges are coming to tran-sit service in Burnaby.

Last week,TransLinkannounced six proposedchanges to transit in the cityfollowing a review that tookplace last fall.

The changes include cre-ating a new B-Line servicefor Hastings Street fromSFU to downtownVancou-ver; splitting the 106 intotwo routes at the Edmondsstation; changes to the Me-trotown station with mod-ifications to the 106 and

144 routing and reroutingthe 509 from Langley toLougheed station.

The transit authority willbe holding off on proposedchanges to introduce two-way service on the SFUcampus.

TransLink officials notedthe implementation of thechanges will occur duringthe next two years.

The most contentiousproposals were for theHastings corridor, with theHeights Merchant Associ-ation and businesses in thearea expressing concernover the potential loss of lo-cal bus service with the cre-

ation of a 135 B-Line.TransLink responded

with plans to modify the160 to provide continuouseast-west local service alongHastings from Cliff Avenueto Boundary Road, extend-ing the end-point to Koote-nay Loop.

The association’s execu-tive director, Isabel Kolic,said she’s pleasedTransLinkofficials took users’ con-cerns into consideration.

However, she said every-thing will depend on thefrequency of the local ser-vice, adding her concernsare that if the frequency ofthe 160 is reduced, people

won’t use it. Kolic suggest-ed it could giveTransLinkan excuse to cut serviceeven more.

“We’ll see what the fre-quency is like, hopefully itrelates to the way peoplelive their lives and is not tooinfrequent that will frustrateusers,” she told the NOW.

Kolic said she’ll bewatching the changes close-ly as they are eventuallyrolled out.

Tim Savoie,TransLink’svice-president of transpor-tation planning and poli-cy, explained all the recom-mendations had to be donewithin the current funding

structure, adding there aretrade-offs and in some casespeople will be impacted.

“Part of the process ishearing what our custom-ers are actually concernedabout and trying to respondto them,” he said.

Savoie noted the tran-sit authority will be workingwith the city and alertingcustomers through post-ings on bus stops as all thechanges roll out.

In the case of the de-ferred two-way service atSFU, the recommendationis to refine the proposal andconsult with the SFU com-munity.The concern with

the proposal was possiblereduced service to lower us-age bus stops on the cam-pus.

Other changes includemodifying the location ofthe 106 terminus at Me-trotown Station by termi-nating service on CentralBoulevard and facilitatingpickups and dropoffs adja-cent to the station.

TransLink noted it wasthe largest public consulta-tion on service changes inits history, receiving 12,017completed surveys.

The National EnergyBoard’s Kinder Morganhearing has wrapped up, butthe federal government’snew review process for thepipeline is just beginning.

The NEB is set to deliverits final recommendation tocabinet on the pipeline pro-posal by May 20. Cabinethas the final say on whetherthe pipeline will be built.

The feds are also planningto appoint a new ministeri-al representative to consultwith communities along thepipeline.TheNOW askedif that representative wouldcome to Burnaby, and Nat-ural Resources Canada

didn’t answer but said therep should be appointed be-fore the NEB’s final recom-mendation in May.

The federal governmentis also conducting an analy-sis of upstream greenhousegas emissions for the KinderMorgan pipeline proposal,and the results will be madepublic in May.The publicwill be able to comment onthe analysis.

The Liberals also prom-ised more consultation withFirst Nations, and accordingto Natural Resources Cana-da, that’s already underway,and theTsleil-Waututh Na-tion will be consulted.

Burnaby South MP Ken-nedy Stewart said the mea-sures are not changes andjust a “smokescreen.”

“The National Ener-gy Board process has notchanged at all. It’s Ste-phen Harper’s process, andit’s Stephen Harper’s pan-el that’s making the deci-sion,” said Stewart. “Howev-er they try to colour aroundthe edges and say they arelistening, and that the pro-cess has changed – it hasn’t.They would have to alterthe National Energy BoardAct through Parliament, andthey haven’t.”

What do you remem-ber fondly about growingup on the farm?

Everything. It reallyshaped who I am as a per-son, and my relationship tofood. I actually started outmy adult life cooking. I wentto culinary arts school andthen ended up going backto school after that. But itshaped my relationship withfood and how I feel aboutfood. It shaped the whole ofme, the person I am.

My childhood was unlikeanybody else’s childhood,because we had space.Wehad access to food. Nobodyin my family has a single al-

lergy.We weren’t exposedto chemicals, we virtuallydidn’t buy food except forflour. … It really shows inour health.

Howwould you de-scribe your relationshipwith food?

I know about food, and Iunderstand where it comesfrom.That seems pretty ba-sic, but I think I’ve alwaysknown that, even as a child,… you respect food in a dif-ferent way.

You respect your body ina different way because youknow where certain foodscome from, you know whereother foods come from.Some things, if you had thechoice, you wouldn’t putinto your body.

Burnaby Food First isa food security organiza-tion.Can you talk a bitabout that concept?

It’s the idea that peopleshould always have access tofood that’s healthy and nu-tritious and accessible. So

people can access foods thatare healthy for them, butalso an extension of that isthe idea of food sovereign-ty, so people have the rightto healthy foods that are alsoculturally appropriate, andfood security goes a long

with this, too.The land isn’tbeing degraded in the pro-cess. People have access tofood, but they are not de-stroying the land.

What are the bestthings to grow in Burn-aby?

Everything grows well inour garden, because it usedto be a chicken farm, so thesoil is really rich from thechicken poo.The longestlasting food thing we growis kale. It lasts throughoutthe year, but also cauliflow-er, broccoli, I mean it’s hardto say. Everything we growgrows there.

What’s themost un-usual thing you’vegrown?

I don’t know what I

would define as unusual.When we were doing theCSA boxes, the deliveries,people were really thrownoff by kohlrabi. It tastes likea cross between a turnip

and a cabbage, but it’s justbig either purple or greenbulb with leaves on it, andpeople just never knew whatto do with it.

Where are we in thegardening season?Whatshould we be doing now?

Right now is the time tostart growing food, but it’snot too late. I wouldn’t justthrow seeds in the groundthough, because we don’tknow what the weather’s go-ing to do, so I would rec-ommend starting someseedlings in the house andputting them out when theweather turns a little bit.For info onTrickey’s farm,

A Byrne Creek sister duobelted out a pair of show-stealing duets to take tophonours at this year’s Burn-aby’s GotTalent student tal-ent show at the Michael J.FoxTheatreTuesday, butthe real winners of thisyear’s contest were Burna-by’s youth.

The competition – or-ganized by the BurnabyDistrict Student AdvisoryCouncil (DSAC) – raisednearly $5,000 for the Burn-abyYouth Hub, a Me-trotown centre where lo-cal youth can go to access

an alternate education pro-gram, health clinic, coun-selling, life-skills informa-tion, emergency food bank,showers, recreational activi-ties and more.

DSAC has raised morethan $20,000 with Burna-by’s GotTalent over the lastfour years, contributing theproceeds to a different localcharity each year.

This year’s show featured16 acts from all of Burna-by’s eight high schools, per-forming in front of an audi-ence of about 530.

A panel of judges – schoolboard trustee HarmanPandher, NewWestminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian,

spoken poet Kevan “Scruff-mouth” Cameron, Carter-Hales Design Lab principleRoss Hales and NOW ed-ucation reporter CorneliaNaylor – whittled the packdown to four finalists.

Among the final fourwere Burnaby South dancerAi Okanaka, Moscrop pop-pers Stanley Ho and LouisBlanco, Byrne Creek singersAvery andVeronica Amoresand Burnaby Mountainbeatboxer Jonathan Calvez.

After an encore perfor-mance by each finalist, theAmores sisters – Avery, inGrade 9, andVeronica, inGrade 11 – won the audi-ence vote.

PerformancePowering both Coupe and Roadstermodels is a turbocharged 2.0-litre4-cylinder. The TT shares thisengine with others in the VWfamily - not that there’s anythingwrong with that - since this motoris one of the most respected in theindustry.

While on paper its 220 hp and 258lb-ft of torque doesn’t stand-out, itworks extremely well in the real world.It’s capable enough to propel the Audi TTfrom 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, whichmakes it a world-class coupe performance.

If that’s not fast enough for you, the higher performanceAudi TTS boosts horsepower to 292 and torque to 280 lb-ftwhile still using the same basic engine design. Availableonly as a coupe, the 0-100 km/h time with this setup isastonishing fast 4.9 seconds.

All TT’s come with Audi’s famed quattro all-wheel drivesystem, which was freshly updated. This allows the TT tocorner faster and smoother than in the past. Body roll is alsoreduced, and while steering feel is light, it is precise and direct.

Managing the power in all TT’s is Audi’s 6-speed S tronictransmission. Like its AWD system, its transmission is wellknown as one of the best in the industry. The system shiftsquickly and effortlessly, without taking away any feel orcharacter.

Audi drive select is also standard. Changing the drivemodes alters the TT’s character considerably. Comfortmode makes driving on the highway easy, while selectingDynamic makes the car more responsive and thesuspension firmer.

Overall, Audi achieved its goal of making the TT a truesports car. While it certainly lives in the shadow of the R8supercar, the TT is easier to live as a day-to-day car, and itcan still be fun on a twisty road.

EnvironmentAt first glance,while the cabinis certainlyluxurious, theminimalisticdesign bringsconfusion – whereare the controls?But, it doesn’t takemore than a fewseconds to realizethe Audi TT’sinterior is ahead ofits time.

Where mostmodern cars havea touchscreen inthe centre stack, inthe Audi TT thatarea is notablysparse. Instead, all

pertinent information is displayed onthe 12-inch screen in the instrumentpanel right in front of the driver.It is highly customizable, andfeatures like navigation and thebackup camera can be viewedas full screen or split with otherdetails.

The centre of the dash housesthree round, elegant air vents. While

they have a classic look, they arerevolutionary because they also control

the climate controls, including the heatedseat controls, as one unit.

On the topic of vents, Roadster models have heaters inthe seat backs to keep your neck warm on those cold dayswhen you still want to drive with the top down.

The front seats in the TT are immensely comfortable.Ergonomics are excellent and even tall drivers will findplenty of room.

While nobody would consider the Audi TT a family car,the coupe can accommodate small children in the back ina pinch. Keep in mind, they will grow out of them quicklyand adults will only want to use them in an emergency.

For longer trips, the TT offers reasonable practicality with340 litres of cargo space in Coupe trim. Roadsters areobviously not so practical, with very limited trunk capacity,especially with the top down.

All-in-all, the Audi TT’s cabin is distinctive and classy. Theinterior is one of the best in the market, not just in thissegment.

FeaturesThe starting price for the Audi TT Coupe is $51,600, whilethe TT Roadster begins at $55,600. The sporty TTS Coupeprices start at $61,900.

Standard equipment includes keyless entry with push-buttonstart, heated front seats, automatic climate control, auto-dimming interior mirror, heated exterior mirrors, light andrain-sensing headlights, rear parking sensors, and Bluetooth.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims,include navigation, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring,active lane assist, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for both the Coupe andRoadster TT are 10.1 city, 7.8 highway for 9.1 combined.The TTS returns 10.3 city, 8.6 highway and 9.5 combined.

Thumbs UpThe TT has a futuristic environment and Audi’s quattroprovides driving thrills. Both combine to make the TTunique in this segment.

Thumbs DownPurists may not consider the TT simply because it isnot available as rear-wheel drive or with a manualtransmission. If you want a “pure” sports car, you may wantto look at the Porsches.

The Bottom LineIf you want a fun coupe or roadster that boasts class, style andmodern technology, the 2016 Audi TT has all that and more.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

2016 welcomes the third generation of Audi’strendy-looking, fun-loving coupe, the TT.

When the TT was first introduced in 1998,it made headlines thanks to its cool design,unconventional interior, and outstandingperformance.

The only challenge was - while the TT turnedheads – it wasn’t quite up to par in terms ofperformance when compared against the likesof the Porsche Boxster.

Today, the all-new Audi TT promises to changethat impression. The BMW Z4, Mercedes SLK and Porsche718 should be on high alert because the new TT doesn’tjust make great promises, it delivers.

DesignWhile the 2016 Audi TT is all-new, it doesn’t looksignificantly different than the two previous generations.It does have a more masculine overall feel, however, andthoroughly modern design inside and out.

The Audi TT is still a two-door, four-seat luxury sports carthat is available as a coupe or convertible. It now rides onVolkswagen’s MQB architecture and its body is made fromaluminum. These two aspects mean that this generation isover 100 lbs lighter than the previous model.

Coupe models feature a sloping roof that extends all theway to the rear hatch. Roadsters have a fabric roof that isable to open and close in 10 seconds while travelling up tospeeds of 50 km/h.

The front is dominated by a large trapezoidal grille.The available full LED headlights are sharp and have anassertive, animalistic look.

Paying homage to the original TT, this generationfeatures prominently rounded wheel arches and centrallymounted exhaust outlets.

Inside, the cabin is stylish, and clever use of moderntechnology allowed Audi designers to give the TT aminimal, simple layout without sacrificing usability.

If you want to start a dis-cussion in parenting circles,there’s surely no better wayto do it than just mention-ing that simple one-syllableword: sleep.

Yes, it’s probably the hot-test topic around – and lo-cal parents are being invitedout to take part in an eventat Burnaby NeighbourhoodHouse onThursday, April14. Sleep AndYour Child’sEnergy is being co-present-ed by the Burnaby SchoolAge Initiative and the Burn-aby Early Childhood Devel-opment CommunityTable.

The event is aimed atparents with kids, up to age12 – not just for babies andtoddlers. Child care is avail-able.

“About 70 per cent ofchildren have trouble sleep-ing, and almost one-thirdof those are medicated bytheir parents to help them,according to a new studyby the Canadian Paediat-ric Society,” said an email

from Vicki Donoghue, thechildren’s and teen servic-es coordinator for Burna-by Public Library, which ishandling registration for theevent.

There will be a pop-up li-brary table available for par-ents to borrow books andresources about sleep, andthe evening’s speaker will beWendy Hall, a nursing pro-fessor and researcher at theUniversity of British Co-lumbia.

She’ll provide informa-tion about sleep and therole it plays in childhooddevelopment, and parentswill have a chance to askquestions and get practicaltips to help their kids.

The event is set to runfrom 6 to 7:30 p.m. atBurnaby NeighbourhoodHouse, 4460 Beresford St.

To register, call 604-436-5420 or see www.bpl.bc.ca/events.You can email Ka-mala Sproule at [email protected] for in-formation.

To sign up for childminding (ages 18 monthsto 12 years), email KathyCaddy, kathy.caddy@sd41.

bc.ca.(And, for the record, I

am an expert in child sleep,since I have a three-year-old who is an absolute an-gel sleeper. She never pro-crastinates at bedtime andshe never wakes up at night.And if you believe that, well,have I got a deal for you ...)

Committed to safety since 1953.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:

• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marinesafety enhancements.

• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers includingthe Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and threeBC Class A parks.

• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloopsand the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

For more than four years, we’ve worked together withour neighbours and local communities to hear whatthey have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion.By listening closely and having an open dialogue,we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and moreresponsive project. We are working to meet all therequirements of the regulators, as well as consultingwith communities, Indigenous people, governmentagencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue towork with them throughout development, constructionand operations. We know how critical it is to get thisright. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hearwith significant changes to the Project.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people,we are making better project decisions.”- Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

After decades of restora-tion efforts, a previously-damaged local creek is nowhome to a bevy of tiny chumsalmon.

Tuesday morning, MarkAngelo,World Rivers Dayfounder and BCIT Riv-ers Institute chair emeri-tus, was joined by a groupof daycare children and his

grandson,Tucker, to release20,000 juvenile salmon intoBurnaby’s Guichon Creek.The release is a testament tothe improved health of thecreek, thanks to an ongoingrestoration project.

“I first saw the creek inthe early ’70s. Back then, itwas barren, lifeless,” he said.

The former fish, wild-life and recreation programhead at BCIT has spent

more than 40 years advo-cating for the creek and re-mains dedicated to seeingGuichon return to the wayit was described to be in the1920s and ’30s – full of life.

In 2014, trout were re-leased into the restored up-per part of the creek andplans were announcedto daylight the section ofGuichon Creek flowing be-neath the campus. Ange-lo believes uncovering theremainder of the creek willmake it easier for the chumsalmon to return to spawn.

“To think back to whatthe creek was once like …and to see it now as a beau-tiful, natural, green oasis oncampus is a great exampleof how we can in fact restorenature if there’s a will to doso,” Angelo said.

The once-forgotten drain-age ditch will continue on asa healthy fish habitat, withBCIT’s support, accordingto Angelo.

“Guichon Creek is, with-out question, a wonderfulexample of urban streamrestoration, and it’s a placeI greatly enjoy going to withmy grandkids.”

attitudes about not changing the waywe live. We need to break this wideopen and real ly start tackling this inevery neighbourhood and on everyfront.“My go-to neighbourhood to increasedensity is downtown – it’s extremelywell served by transit , it’s walkable,it’s got great amenities – yet thereis the sentiment that it’s built out,which is simply wrong. We have towerzones that are l imited to 300 feet high– why not 500 feet? We have zonesthat are 700 feet , why not 1,000 feet?Why not 2,000 feet high?“We talk about having a limited landbase, but we have an unlimited landbase above our heads. And there aremany, many buildings in downtownVancouver that are only three to f ivestoreys high.”When asked about public concernover the protection of viewpoints and

V ancouver may be runningout of land on which to buildmore housing, but there’s

plenty of space overhead – we justneed to rethink the value of specif icviews, the Urban DevelopmentInstitute’s incoming chair toldlisteners of the Real Estate Therapistradio show March 26.Speaking to Joannah Connolly, editorand content manager of REW.ca andhost of the weekly Saturday morningcal l- in show, Jon Stovel l said thatradical measures had to be taken tovast ly increase density and meet thedemand for housing in Vancouver. Heargued that only by increasing supplyin much greater measures wouldaffordabil ity be achieved.On the live radio show, Stovell , whois president and CEO of RelianceProperties , the developer behind theOne Burrard Place highrise project on

Burrard Street , said, “Vancouver hasarrived on the global scene. Whetherwe like it or not, this change is uponus. People are coming from all overthe world, which is a great thing.But it’s sad that it means that a lotof local residents can’t af ford to ownhomes, or often even to rent them.“But this is completely a self-inf l ictedproblem, on our part , where we’resimply not responding to the inf luxof investment and growth as anopportunity, and instead we’re tryingto raise the drawbridge and fi l l themoat with al l igators. We should bewelcoming the world in, we shouldbe f inding ways to create supply ofhousing.“There are almost inf initeopportunities in which we couldincrease supply, and all of theconstraints are built around artif icialbarriers or sentiment or parochial

view cones, Stovell responded, “Theview cones are maybe a questionableextravagance, at this point. Ourmountains are 4,000 feet high. Theview cones protect certain viewpointsat a certain moment. I don’t knowthat the view cones are somethingthat wil l be able to survive thecontinuing growth pressures of thecity.“As for public concern… it’s onlywhen the city started to stop a lot ofthe development downtown, and youmove out into Grandview-Woodlandand Marpole where we started to getsome real ly strenuous pushback frompeople, as the changes are much morealarming to them.”Tune in every Saturday 9-10am to theReal Estate Therapist Show on CIRHRoundhouse Radio 98.3FM, andlisten to shows live or on demand atwww.roundhouseradio.com.

Eaglesetstone inCrisologocomebackSFU golfer ties forfirst at Arizonacollegiate tourney

Simon Fraser University sopho-more Chris Crisologo had an eagleon the fifth hole as part of a finalday charge to capture the Mus-tang Intercollegiate this week at thePalmValley Golf Club in Good-year, Arizona.

The eagle was a key turningpoint in Crisologo’s come-from-be-hind 5-under-par 67 to win the ti-tle.

The Richmond golfer, rankedNo. 20 in NCAA Division II, shotrounds of 69, 67, and 67 for a 203total at the par 72, 7015 -yardcourse to share medallist honourswith Brent Grant of BYU Hawaii,who fired rounds of 65, 69 and 69.

Grant finished with eight consec-utive pars after beginning the finalday with two-under on the frontnine.That set the stage for Crisolo-go’s comeback, having startedthe day trailing the leader by twostrokes.

The SFU golfer topped the tour-nament with 17 birdies and two ea-gles. He had 27 pars over the threerounds.

As co-winners, Crisologo andGrant finished 13-under par, sevenstrokes better than the next closestcompetitors.

It was the second tourney winthis season for Crisologo, who hasfinished top-five in four tourna-ments, including victories in SFU’sfirst trip of the season last October.

In the team competition, No.14 ranked Simon Fraser was one-under on the final day to finishthe tournament 17 strokes behindBYU-Hawaii in eighth place. Si-mon Fraser sits in fourth place inthe region as the team prepares forthe Great Northwest Athletic Con-ference championships April 18and 19 in Coeur D’Alene, ID.

Crisologo, who earned NCAAAll-America SecondTeam honoursafter being named GNAC Fresh-man of theYear in 2015, crushedthe par fives, finishing 12-under inthe tournament and averaging fourstrokes on the holes.

KevinVigna and Jordan Hutch-ings also recorded eagles for SimonFraser.Vigna finished even for thetournament to place 24th, whileMarcus Brown finished four-overto tie for 48th. CraigTitteringtontied for 68th and Hutchings wastied for 76th.

Wearing the ‘dark hat’ and surrounded by acrowd of 1,000 fans cheering on the underdoghosts, the BurnabyWinter Club Bruins turnedthat adversity on its head to claim theWesternCanadian AAA bantam hockey title.

It didn’t come easy, however. Although theynever trailed, the Bruins needed a dramaticshorthanded tally from Burnaby native Mas-simo Rizzo to pull out a 3-2 victory over theRocky Mountain Raiders in Okotoks, Alta.

Rizzo’s marker came with 2:35 remainingin the third, where he turned a turnover into abreakaway and beat Raiders netminder Jack-son Berry to give the Bruins the lead.

It was the team’s third shorthanded goal infive games, as head coach John Batchelor hasutilized his most fleetest scorers in a penalty-killing role to perfection.

“We stuck our top offensive players out inthat situation just to do that, and it couldn’tcome at a better time,” said Batchelor. “Thewhole strategy going in (to the final) was totake advantage of their mistakes.They made ittough but we won out.”

After a scoreless first period, the Bruins tal-lied twice in the middle frame on goals fromHenrik Rybinski and Rizzo.They could haveeasily doubled it if not for a strong game byBerry in the Rocky Mountain net.

The host team, which earned its berth intothe final with a 2-2 record, had closed out the

round robin portion of the tourney with a 4-3loss to 4-0 Burnaby. Demonstrating plenty ofresilience, the Raiders erased the Bruins’ 2-0lead with a pair of goals, four minutes into thethird and midway through the period.

There were some nerves at the start.“There’s always some nerves and jitters but

we started well and realistically could havebeen up a couple in the first as we out-shotthem like 15-7,” recalled Batchelor. “In thethird they came at us strong and we weatheredit pretty well I thought… (Their second goal)

came after Rizzo was waved out of the faceoffcircle for I don’t know what.We lost the faceoffand they scored on a shot from the point. Itwas kind of brutal, really.”

It all came down to Rizzo’s shorthandedgoal.

“When they tied it we didn’t get down, theguys stayed with the process and did what theyneeded to do.”

Batchelor has coached five teams to theWestern Canadians, and ranks this group rightup among the best.

“This is probably the fastest team I’ve everhad, top to bottom,” said Batchelor, whocoached Edmonton Oilers centre Ryan Nu-gent-Hopkins and NewYork Islanders first-round pick Mathew Barzal, among others.“These guys are right at the top and we had alot of depth. Our five defencemen are all goodskaters and strong puck handlers.”

The trip, which saw the club roll undefeatedthrough four round-robin tests into the final,was well attended by major junior, college andNHL scouts.

Voted the MostValuable Player of the tour-nament was Burnaby’s Sasha Mutala, a 6-footforward who tallied four goals and three as-sists over the five games. Rizzo led all shoot-ers with three goals and eight assists, whileRyan Denny contributed three goals and fourassists. Also scoring four times was Elan Bar-Lev-Wise.

Selected to the tourney all-star squad wereLane, Mutala and Rizzo.

Quickstartprovesessential inu14boys’[email protected]

A great start was key to advanc-ing to Round 2 of the CoastalCup playdowns last week.

The Burnaby Metro under-14boys FC bolted out with twoquick goals and held on for a 2-1triumph over Guildford.

Markers by Josh Greco andNico Liapis, on a great individualrun, set the tone over the opening45 minutes.

Coach David Zaharija said thegame was won with a stellar ap-proach over the final half.

“We were leading but there wasstill plenty of time,” said Zaharija.“I told them ‘Don’t take it lightly,it’s a 0-0 game and finish strong.’”

While Guildford tallied minutesinto the second half, Burnaby re-gained composure and an edge inpossession and held its ground.

Centrebacks Antonio Bruni andDylanWells anchored the back-line, while the whole team closedranks and kept Guildford at bay.

The squad, which built momen-tum with some big wins over top-four rivals down the stretch, nowheads to Campbell River for itssecond Cup game.

“It’s going to be tough,” saidZaharija. “Home pitch advantagereally counts, so we expect a big

test.We just want to play our styleand hope things go our way in theend.”U13 FCBLASTSRICHMOND

A dominating midfield was thefoundation in the Burnaby Met-ro u13 boys FC’s 5-1 victory overRichmond to kick-start the Coast-al Cup playdowns.

Leading the way were DaviCruz and Luke Aleong, who whilekeeping the opposition off-kilter atmidfield, also counted a goal each.

Stefano Dal Sasso’s give-and-go marker, working with Eric Li,came two minutes after Richmondtied the game. Aleong restoredthe lead with a highlight-reel tal-ly, beating three defenders to buryit behind a stunned netminder.Joey Cannova, with two, and Cruzrounded out the offence before thefirst half was finished.

“We played Port Moody in sea-son at home and won, but they area good team and they will comeout and play us hard,” said coachMatt Manfredi.BELLRINGS INMETRO’SWIN

With just one loss all year, youcould say the Burnaby u18 girlsMetro are a powerhouse.

They prefer just to show it.Burnaby launched the Coastal

A Cup playdowns with a solid 3-1victory overVancouver, as NicoleBell drew assists on all three goals.

Putting the ball in the net wereAnjali Dhaliwal, Danijela Gordicand Danielle Pietramala.

Burnaby outscored its compe-tition by 45 goals during the year,but a shootout loss in the leaguefinal provided motivation. Gettinginto the final, Metro is guaranteeda seat at the provincials in July.

Five players will take their gamenext season to Langara College –Ana Lukic, Giulia Repole, Bell,Dhaliwal and Gordic.

Burnaby hosts Surrey, who theydefeated once and tied once, onSunday, 2 p.m. at Burnaby Lake.DYNAMITE ROCK FRASERVALLEY

It took extra time, but the Burn-aby District Metro u14 girls Dy-namite delivered a first round winin Coastal A Cup action.

The Dynamites’ Sabine Girtcashed in a through ball from Aali-yah Robles for the winner in a 3-1win over FraserValley. It was thethird time the club had defeatedtheValley squad.

Burnaby trailed at the half butfound the equalizer off a great tan-dem play by Cassie Chan and Sar-ah Svetic, to force extra time. AfterGirt’s tally, Maneesha Dhaliwaladded some insurance with a bril-liant run down the left flank past adefender to beat the goalkeeper.

Providing stellar work at mid-field were Ali Leung and Chan,

while Sammy Gee and GurneetSidhu anchored a strong defensiveperformance.

“Our defenders did an out-standing job tracking (FraserVal-ley’s top striker) all game, and ba-sically neutralized this option,”remarked coach Ivan Svetic. “Oth-er than this the game plan was tosettle into the game, withstand thepressure of the first 10 minutes,and then play Dynamite football.”

The team now advances to thequarterfinals againstWest Coast.BURNABYADVANCESONPKS
