A CLOSER LOOK

A neighbourhood stands together A recent murder near this Spruce Street community has brought new meaning to an annual block party By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Ling Su was at home the evening of June 13, struggling to put her two little ones to bed, when Christopher Alexander Serrano lay bleeding in the street, just a block away. Su hadn’t heard anything unusual, but she could see the emergency vehicle lights flickering from across the back alley while she was in the shower. “Never did it cross my mind that it would be murder, a shooting,” she said. Serrano was involved in an altercation, possibly inside a vehicle, at about 9:30 p.m. in the 3900 block of Forest Street, just one street over from Su’s. Neighbours heard shots, police were called, and someone performed CPR on Serrano, but he was pronounced dead about an hour later in hospital. Su learned what happened from her husband, who heard about it on the 11 p.m. news. Serrano, 29, was a selfprofessed drug dealer who slit a stranger’s throat with box-cutters after an argument at a Vancouver nightclub.The man survived, and Serrano spent two years in jail. Su has no idea why he was in her neighbourhood that night – his home address is in Coquitlam. The killing left Su with a sense of unease and a stronger desire to connect with her neighbours at the annual Spruce Street block party. Su feels it’s even more important to continue the block party tradition

THE POWER OF NEIGHBOURS: Burnaby resident Ling Su and her neighbours are hosting a block party this summer, after a fatal shooting just a block away. They feel it’s even more important than ever to come together as a community. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER so people know each other and their neighbourhood and can tell when something is out of place. “The home is where the heart is, and if these events happen too close to home, we’re going to have to adjust and be wary of new faces,” Su said. This year’s block is set for Saturday, July 19, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the stretch of Spruce Street be-

tween MacDonald and Smith avenues, which covers roughly 50 homes. Neighbours are volunteering to organize the event, and they have money from the Vancouver Foundation’s neighbourhood small grants program.The murder is a topic of discussion among the group, and they feel it’s important to keep the block party tradition alive and the community safe, according

... knowing your neighbours is really key to Su. “No one is immune to violent individuals coming into neighbourhoods, but community block watch or neighbourhoods that

speak up, that’s important for me. I want to be able to continue to walk around the neighbourhood and feel comfortable,” Su said. “These are real issues that touch real residents at a basic level, our homes, our security.” Antonia Beck, executive director of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House, knows how important it is to connect with one’s com-

The cheapskate’s guide to summer fun Check out our Top 10 Free (And Nearly Free) Things To Do in Burnaby this summer season Julie MacLellan FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Sure, summer is awesome. It’s hot, it’s sunny, you get time off, you can go to the beach. But let’s face it, for lots of families, summer is also pretty darn expensive. Add in extra child care, summer camps, gas for the road trips, camping fees … the costs just keep on mounting. Which is why I figured it was time to write the definitive Cheapskate’s Guide to Summer Fun in Burnaby – a.k.a. our top-10 list for free and cheap family fun in the city. So, next time you gulp loudly when you check your bank balance, consult this list and find a way to while away an hour, an afternoon or a day without spending any (or much) of that hardearned money.

STEP BACK IN TIME AT BURNABY VILLAGE This one tops our family fun list every year, and with good reason. For starters, gate admission is free, and you can spend ages wandering around the streets of the 1920s village. Special events, demonstrations and programs go on all summer long, with a variety of offerings for all ages – including new, free guided walks on weekdays. Check out the new Technology Before the Smartphone exhibition at Stride Studios, become a student at the Seaforth School, or take in demonstrations running the gamut from tinsmithing to quilting. Of course, a highlight for kids (and more

than a few adults) is a spin on the restored 1912 C.W. Parker Carousel (carousel rides are $2.60 each). Plus, you can get lunch and treats at the ice cream parlour. Burnaby Village is open Tuesdays through Sundays, plus statutory holiday Mondays, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnaby villagemuseum.ca or call 604-297-4565.

ENJOY THE SYMPHONY IN THE PARK It’s a highlight of the season for classical music lovers in Burnaby, and it’s returning to Deer Lake Park on Sunday, July 10 at 7 p.m.The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Tania Miller, performs with soloist Albert Seo on cello in a program that includes such favourites as Rossini’s L’Italiani in Algeri: Overture, Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique, Strauss’s Radetzky March, Gershwin’s An American in Paris and, of course, the always showstopping Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. Arrive early, with blankets and picnic, to stake out your spot and enjoy a beautiful evening of music by the lake – for free. Parking is limited, so it helps if you can take transit, walk or ride your bike. Check out www.vancouver symphony.ca for all the details.

STOP BY THE BURNABY ARTISAN FARMERS’ MARKET Who would have guessed the Burnaby City Hall parking lot would turn out to be such a fantastic family destination? The

Burnaby Artisan Farmers’ Market is going strong every Saturday, running 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the north parking lot at 4949 Canada Way. Yes, you can shop for produce (both organic and conventional) – and a whole lot more besides, with a variety of baked goods and prepared foods on site.You can also buy lunch and snacks from the on-site food truck, check out the games table, sit and read awhile in the reading area, enjoy live music by on-site entertainers, have the kids play in the kids’ play tent and more.The market also has a number of special events throughout the summer – a highlight always being the Teddy Bears’ Picnic on July 16. Check out www.artisan markets.ca for all the details and to see the vendor and entertainer list for each market.

TAKE A RIDE ON THE BURNABY CENTRAL RAILWAY You’ll have to spend a small amount of money on this one, but it’s so worth it.What kid (or grownup, for that matter) hasn’t wanted to hop aboard a train and go? When you stop by the Burnaby Central Railway’s miniature train at Confederation Park, you can enjoy a ride on a one-eighth scale train along more than two

kilometres of track.The railway has electric, diesel and steam engines to enjoy. There’s a gift shop, concession, small museum, picnic tables and a grassy picnic area, plus a chance to watch the trains. It’s $3.50 for a single ride, or $30 for 10-ride passes. Kids under three ride free.The railway is open on weekends and statutory holidays until Thanksgiving, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The railway is in Confederation Park at 120 North Willingdon Ave. – access the entrance from Penzance Drive. See www.burnaby railway.org or call 604-291-

0922 for information.

TAKE A HIKE Yes, Burnaby’s most definitely a thriving and bustling urban centre – but it also has an abundance of places to get back to nature and take a hike. For a family-friendly stroll, try the trails at Burnaby Lake or Deer Lake, or take a meander along the river at Fraser Foreshore Park.Take in the waterfront views – and stop to check out the beach – at Barnet Marine Park, or mosey under the trees at Central Park.

Or, if you’re feeling energetic, put your legs to the test on the “Burnaby Grind” – the 1,400-metre Velodrome Trail that makes its way up the side of Burnaby Mountain from the gravel parking lot just north of the Harry Jerome Sports Centre on Barnet Highway. Your 240-metre elevation gain includes an impressive 500 timber stairs, so it’s not for the faint of heart – but the views, once you hit the top, will be more than worth your effort.

City now Parents want answers on $1 million windfall

School board chair says district has yet to decide how it will use the money returned by the province Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Parents and teachers want to know how the Burnaby school board plans to spend the extra $1 million returned to the district by the ministry of education last month. In February 2015, the ministry announced districts around B.C. would have to trim a combined $54 million in “administrative savings” from their budgets – $29 million for the 2015/16 school year and $25 million for 2016/17. Last month, the government said it had decided to redirect the $25 million for 2016/17 back to the districts. For Burnaby, that will mean an extra $1,027,783 cash for next year. But, while some B.C. boards have called extra budget meetings to decide what to do with the windfall,

Burnaby Teachers’ Association president Rae Figursky said the local board has yet to announce any plan. “I don’t think they’ve done anything,” she told the NOW onWednesday morning, “so we don’t know what they plan on doing.” The local teachers’ union sent the board a letter on June 15, requesting the district use the extra funds to hire about 12 more teachers next year. The District Parent Advisory Council has also pressed the board for clarification about its plan for the money in a letter read out at a public school board meeting June 13 by outgoing chair Jen Mezei. “We hope that some of the funds redistributed to Burnaby will be used to address the issues and concerns that were brought forward by school representatives and parents during

our district budget consultation process last month,” Mezei said, “such as increasing counsellor time, more supports for special needs students and increases to custodial hours to provide coverage for custodial absences.” Chair Ron Burton told the NOW no decisions have been made yet about how the extra money will be spent next year, and the board will probably schedule an extra finance committee meeting during the summer to formulate a plan. “We’ll try and deal with it before next September, so we have things in place, like if we have to hire other EAs or teachers or that, we have it done for next year.” As for getting input from parents or teachers, Burton said partner groups already gave their input during budget consultations this spring and in the letters they sent.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Block parties – what’s not to love? We love block parties. Our front-page story on the residents of Spruce Street in Burnaby pulling together a block party reminded us of just how much we love block parties. While the people on Spruce Street have a unique reason to put on their party, we think any reason is a good reason. Did we mention that we simply love block parties? Here’s why. Let us count the ways:

We love them because they remind people how important every single person is in a community. We love them because everybody gets invited: this is not just for the popular kids. We love them because somebody always turns up with a brand new recipe for potato salad. We love them because neighbours become friends and friends of your neighbours may become your

friends. We love them because there’s always somebody who turns up who knows how to fix your cable box. We love them because you learn much more about diversity than you could ever learn from Facebook. We love them because someone always needs a hand to do some chore, and there’s nothing better than being needed. We love them because going to a block party reminds

us of just how lucky we are to be alive in this time and in this place. We love them because getting closer to real people always shows us how we have so much more in common than we could have ever imagined. We love them because young people and old people mingle and play games together. We love them because sometimes you all get to play bocce or street hockey

and not care how good you are at it. We love them because there’s usually a baby or toddler who makes us all smile. We love them because there’s nothing like taking over a street and not having to worry about cars and trucks sneaking up behind you. We love them because someone always has a great funny story to share. We love them because

they make people feel safer and more in touch with their surroundings. We love them because somebody always brings a great sheet cake. We love them because for one day or one afternoon, everybody can just kick back and enjoy themselves and not worry about having to drive home. Oh, and did we say, we love them just because they’re plain good fun.

MY VIEW BRIAN GUNN

Too much risk in pipeline plan Kinder Morgan’s proposed project to increase their transport of diluted bitumen from the eastern Burrard Inlet to the Pacific Ocean offer risks that are many times higher than those accepted for other major infrastructure projects. As Concerned Professional Engineers (CPE), we feel this is not acceptable. We believe that a proper analysis of risk needs to be made to ascertain whether risks proposed by Kinder Morgan are acceptable and anything less than that is gross negligence on the part of deci-

A proper analysis of risk needs to be made sion-makers. First, what is risk? The dictionary defines it as a situation involving exposure to danger or exposing someone or something valued to danger, harm or the possibility of financial loss.When it comes to building infrastructure like homes, bridges, buildings and highways, various levels of government have established building codes.These are set parameters for how structures must be built so they meet a tolerable risk. Kinder Morgan predicts a 10 per cent risk of a major oil spill, greater than 8,250 cubic metres during the 50year operating life of the project.They have not made

available the computational tools they used to make that risk analysis. As well, the Port Authority ofVancouver refused a recommendation to clear theVancouver harbour when the oil tankers would be moving through it. On top of this, the risks and consequences of a tanker hitting the Second Narrows Bridge have not been evaluated, despite our requests to the National Energy Board (NEB).Together these variables increase the risk of the project. Even accepting Kinder Morgan’s computer generated risk assessment, the Trans Mountain Expansion poses a far higher risk than what is acceptable for buildings and bridges. Building codes demand that the risk of an earthquake occurring, causing probable collapse of a structure, be no more than two per cent over a 50-year period. Kinder Morgan’s numbers are five times higher (10 per cent over a 50-year period). In other words, the acceptable risk for an oil spill is not up to the same standard as it is for earthquakes. New bridges like the Port Mann Bridge must meet the Canadian bridge code guidelines that the probability of collapse be no more than 0.5 percent over a 50year operating life. This is in recognition of the fact that if a ship collides with a bridge it could cause catastrophic damage to the bridge or even collapse. Continued on page 7

New digs for police pooches City council approved a $50,000 plan in March for a permanent kennel facility at the RCMP detachment complex for puppies in training and police dogs. Mounties raising force-owned puppies had been leaving the dogs in their private vehicles while on shift, while working dogs had been kept in police vehicles when their handlers performed administrative duties. A staff report noted that was bad for dogs and a waste of fuel for air conditioning.

Theatre of the absurd unfolds in Burnaby

Thoughts on the local real estate market

Dear Editor Re: Feds pitch in for transit projects, Burnaby NOW, June 17. The large picture accompanying this story was the most interesting part for me; having always believed that of all the one-liners that Jay Leno produced, his best one was: “Politics is really show business for ugly people.” That was so very apparent last week when Canada’s Prime Minister and B.C.’s Premier appeared in this picture taken in Burnaby, using the Canada Line train as an expensive backdrop. They were joined in this theatre of the absurd by other federal, provincial and municipal politicians who all gave performances worthy of an Oscar. We, the Great Unwashed, knew what they were about to say was little more than a well-scripted rehash of previous announcements. They all knew it, we all knew it, and they all knew that we all knew it, but in the best theatrical tradition: “The show must go on.” Nothing as trivial as appearing absolutely phony and ridiculous would ever deter the politicians from putting on a show; to inform us how much of our own tax money and borrowed money (that will eventually have to be repaid through higher taxes), would be spent on upgrading public transit. The PM is pictured with his hand in the air, no doubt trying to ascertain which way the political wind is blowing; while the Premier looks down trying to hide her glee, figuring this is a great photo-op for her upcoming provincial election campaign. A much more savvy politician than all the current bunch, whose stellar career was cut short in a theatre, once observed: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time; but you cannot fool all the people all of the time.” Words of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln that should be taken to heart.

Risks of pipeline plan are just too high Continued from page 6 Historically, there have been a number of collisions with the railway bridge at the Second Narrows, when hit by vessels of a much smaller scale (weight, height and width) than that of an Aframax tanker. In two cases, the bridge has been completely knocked out of service and had to be rebuilt. Damage to the Second Narrows Highway bridge can result in economic catastrophe because it is a main artery of transportation in Vancouver. Is it acceptable to risk collision with any bridges in the Burrard Inlet? Is the consequence of an oil spill in the city of Vancouver, a place seen by the world as both green and vibrant, acceptable? Our answer is “no.” Brian Gunn is the spokesperson for CPE, Concerned Professional Engineers (www. concernedengineers.org). JOIN THE CONVERSATION ON TWITTER

Are fat cats at fault? Reader responds to letter on CPP changes Ziggy Eckardt I really disagree with you when you claim “corporate Canada simply doesn’t want to share the wealth with those who created it”. If you really believe that the “fat cat” salaries are stolen from the efforts of those on the factory floor, just check out the system, the workers paradise, in Cuba. The doctor earns about the same as the maid in your hotel. You bring your own sheets should you be so unlucky having to go to the hospital. Yet “tio Fidel” owns several villas on his own island, a yacht (of course) and a clinic on stand-by 24/7, just for him. Canada and the rest of the world are hit (it will get worse!) by the Saudi attack on us, using the price of oil. To be sure, we will feel the outcome! Venezuela, on the other hand, has empty grocery shelves already and government workers are reduced to working 2 days a week due to a shortage of electricity... Do you really need to take a notch off the fat cats to make yourself feel better? Some of us don’t. By the way, I do have a pension myself. I also see nothing wrong with wanting to improve the lives of future retirees. I would have preferred to use the other system, you know the one taken out by our new government. When pensions were introduced the average life expectancy was 65 in the industrial world. As we go longer to school and live longer I see nothing wrong with people working longer. … But, you seem to think that there is nothing wrong with a 6 year phase-in of another tax at a time when many of those involved need the money now to establish themselves.

SECONDARY SUITES PROGRAM

COMING IN 2017: SUPPLEMENTARY UTILITY CHARGES AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL FEES FOR SECONDARY SUITES In 2014, City Council adopted a comprehensive program to permit secondary suites in single-family homes. Through this program, all property owners with a secondary suite are subject to ‘Supplementary Utility Charges and Garbage Disposal Fees’ to cover the additional cost of providing increased water, sewer, garbage, and recycling services for suites.

ADVANCE NOTICE OF UTILITY BILLING Properties that have been identified with a secondary suite, but have not yet been charged additional utility and garbage fees, will be mailed a special Advance Notice of Utility Billing package in July/August 2016. The package to property owners will include information on the Secondary Suites Program and the upcoming fees. It will also provide instructions for updating the City’s records for properties that do NOT have a secondary suite. The additional fees will appear on the annual utility billing notice to be sent in February 2017.

FOR MORE INFORMATION If you have questions or would like more information about the Secondary Suites Program, please contact the Planning and Building Department: WEBSITE: www.burnaby.ca/secondarysuites EMAIL: secondarysuites@burnaby.ca PHONE: 604-294-7336 FAX: 604-570-3680 MAIL: City of Burnaby Planning and Building Department (Secondary Suites) 4949 Canada Way Burnaby, BC V5G 1M2

City not impressed by B.C. spill response plan ing the ongoing emphasis on the polluter-pay principle that requires responsible parties to have spill response plans and restore the environment following a spill. However, the staff report also said there are several areas of concern that require further consideration by the province, including questions on how the response would be “world leading,” as the proposed regime lacks critical details and has not been evaluated and compared to requirements of other response regimes around the world. The city response also noted that, while the paper proposes standardization of the type of information re-

If the provincial government’s proposed spill preparedness and response plans were to be given a grade by local Burnaby politicians, they would get, at best, an “I” for incomplete. The city was asked to weigh in on the province’s third intentions paper on spill preparedness and response in B.C., and the proposed amendments were given a bit of a rough ride from council. A staff report generally supported many of the elements of the proposed spill response regime outlined in the intention paper, includ-

quired in a spill report – including timelines for subsequent reporting and related updates – there is no requirement for the polluter to provide certain information to the regulator, such as the total volume spilled and the impact to public lands and third-party properties. “We’re a long way from finished in this process,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan. While the mayor appeared to be satisfied the province’s process was moving forward, he said the amendments show how little was in place previously. Corrigan also offered his own criticism of the intentions paper, suggesting there is no connection between

federal and provincial legislation and nothing to assure there wouldn’t be a jurisdiction battle between senior levels of government. “No one wants to have a

We’re a long way from ﬁnished in this process jurisdiction fight when you have an emergency on your hands,” he said. Corrigan also said there is no fund or way to compensate local governments, who he argued are often on the front line and play a key role

in mitigating the damage and restoration afterwards. “There isn’t enough recognition of the important role that we play,” he said. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, while suggesting the response plans were moving in the right direction, also said calling the province’s response “world-class” would be premature, noting there are a few things that are glaringly missing from the report. Other councillors were even less impressed. Coun. Paul McDonell suggested there is a lot of “fluff” and “fancy words,” but he doesn’t see a lot of action. He also noted there are no measurements on the

province’s intention to have a “world-class” response. Coun. Dan Johnston agreed, suggesting the report read more like a campaign brochure, adding what the community needs is a plan so that all of the parties can respond to a disaster and begin the cleanup and rescue process immediately. “I think it’s really disappointing that one response is one too many,” he said. “I think it needs to be better prepared than this if we’re going to avoid a potential environmental disaster down the road.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

‘You want people to feel comfortable in their neighbourhood’ Continued from page 1 pride,” Beck said. “You don’t want this to make everybody afraid and retreat into their homes.You want people to feel comfortable in their neighbourhood.” As for the murder inves-

tigation, Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said police are still interested in hearing from residents who may have seen or heard something. She also said police

believe the shooting wasn’t the result of the neighbourhood. “In some cases, people who are engaged in illegal activity will pick quiet and respectable neighbourhoods to make a meet,” Pound

said. “It would be speculation to say what exactly this meet was, but we can say it was not associated with that neighbourhood. It was a quiet street, and we think that neighbourhood was picked for that reason.”

Pound said police are always supportive of programs like Block Watch, where people keep an eye out for criminal activity. “There’s always strength in numbers, too. If you are a vigilant neighbourhood,

you know what’s fitting into your neighbourhood and what isn’t,” she said. The tip line for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is 1-877-5514448.

Welding camp sparks interest in trades Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Four out of the seven youths who took part in a welding camp for B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf (BCSD) students last week weren’t sure they wanted to be there at first, according to surveys they filled out on day one. But, whether it was shooting flames or flying sparks or chunks of metal taking shape under their own hands, their reluctance was short-lived. “When they showed up, they were kind of humming and hawing whether they should be here or not, but we got them into the booth, and they’ve been smiling ever since,” said Andy Smith, a trainer with Ironworkers Union Local 97, which hosted the event at its Burnaby headquarters June 20 to 24. The event was one of 35 Mind Over Metal camps

being funded across Canada by the Canadian Welding Association (CWA) Foundation this year to give atrisk youth a hands-on introduction to welding and the career options the skill can open up. “The students at the B.C. school for the deaf are often overlooked when it comes

I think it’s good work, but I like the creative side more to opportunities in the trades and we want them to experience welding from a hands-on perspective,” said Deborah Mates, executive director of the foundation, the charitable arm of the national welding association. “This is one of many outreach projects through-

out the country the CWA Foundation has planned for this year, but it is probably the most unique in terms of the demographic.” Grade 7 student Matty Molloy decided to give the camp a try because her mom is a welder and she wanted to get a sense of what the job is like. “I was a little worried about – just like fire an d sparks jumping onto your clothes or burning things or making mistakes or hurting myself,” she told the NOW through a sign-language interpreter, “but this week I haven’t had any problems really.There’s been no real big failures. It’s gone well.” Pursuing a welding career might be an option for her someday, she said, but making art was what appealed to her during the camp. “I definitely enjoy the creative and art side,” she said, “but I wouldn’t mind doing it for work. I enjoy building things and working with

my hands. I think it’s good work, but I like the creative side more.” For Ken McKen, western manager of the CWA Foundation, creativity and a career in welding aren’t mutu-

ally exclusive. “To me welding’s an art,” he said, “and I think that’s kind of what we’re showing students here, is that if they use their creativity and use their imagination, they can

become an artist. … We’ve had some great creations here.Who knows where it might go.” McKen said the idea of putting on a Mind Over Continued on page 10

Welding camp helps break down barriers to trades

Continued from page 9 Metal camp for deaf youth dates back to an interaction he had with BCSD students at a LNG conference in October. The students showed interest in the welding simulator at the CWA booth, but were hesitant to give it a try. When McKen pointed out how to use visual prompts in the helmet, a few really took to the activity. The CWA Foundation then brought the welding simulator to the school in December and decided to take their work one step further with the camp last week. “This group here, it took a day or two just to get over their anxiety, but, I tell you,

they got fully engaged and, as you can see, they’re busy. It’s hard to keep ahead of these students,” he said. McKen has taught deaf welders before, he said, and the challenges they face haven’t prevented them from becoming excellent metalworkers. “It depends what you’re working on, but there’s a certain sound that you know you’re getting the proper weld, the proper distancing for your electrode or it could be for your MIG welder,” McKen said, “so they have that disadvantage, but their other two senses seem to pick up, so they make the difference and they just have to pay more attention to what they see and what they feel, and they

can become really good welders.” To give students the inside scoop on what it’s like to be deaf and work as a welder, Ironworkers Local 97 also invited one of its two deaf apprentices to come speak. For BCSD education assistant Nici Baird, who worked as a welder for 16 years, the camp was a good introduction to the wide range of welding careers open to her students. “I thought it was great, just to show them what’s out there and that there aren’t barriers to trades,” she said.

Malmquist dominated the 1415 division girls’ 100m race, completing the event in 13.13, ahead of Jesse Taylor of Kajaks by half a second.

Burnaby’s snipers ﬁnd comfort zone Dan Olson

It seems just a few days ago the issue was a lack of goals. The Burnaby Lakers, a few days removed from scoring just four times in a game that they won, flexed their offensive skills on Tuesday with a resounding 14-2 triumph over the Langley Thunder. It proved to be a showcase night for some of the club’s righthanded snipers, as Burnaby buried the visiting Thunder with a barrage of shots, with Robert Church leading the way with five goals and three assists. For the Lakers, who had averaged just over six goals per game over the first eight contests, the offensive explosion was a welcomed sign. “There are a lot of good goaltenders in this league making it tough to score,” remarked righthander Scott Jones, who contributed three of his own Tuesday. “There are a lot of good defences, but I’m glad we got it over 10 this game -- I think this was the first time this year and that’s good for the confidence.” Their biggest output prior to this week’s victory were a couple of nines – a win against

Langley, and a loss to Victoria. Although goals, and most notably, timely goals, have been at a shortage to start the year, they’ve found a rhythm of sorts now, noted Jones. “We have a lot of guys like Eli (McLaughlin) and Josh (Byrne), who no one has played with before, so we needed to get everyone into practice,” he said. “Everyone kind of trickled in but now we’ve got a full lineup.There are a lot of unselfish players and anyone can heat up. Our (righthanders) were good this game and the lefties were good the previous game so it’s whoever has the hot stick.” That proved to be Church, a four-year veteran who helped the Saskatchewan Rush win the National Lacrosse League title four weeks ago. His first of the night came with an extra attacker in the dying seconds of the first period, then followed it up with back-to-back tallies in the second, one of the shorthanded variety. He’d add a couple on the powerplay to cap a thorough evening. Jones, meanwhile, also netted a shorthanded goal to kick off the third. Picking up a pair each were Jackson Decker and Peter McFetridge, while Jason Jones and Dane Stevens added singles. For Jones, the whole focus isn’t on goals, but

the ‘W’ on the board at the end of the night. “Our (defence) showed in the past two games, letting in just two goals (each game) that it’s pretty top echelon this league,” said the Port Coquitlam product. “If we can get the offence, put in 10 goals a game I’m pretty confident our defence can keep them to seven or eight and most nights we could win.” After missing the playoffs last season due to a tiebreaker, the emphasis this time around is to lock up a spot with some degree of comfort. Not so easy, considering the top five spots – with 5-4 Burnaby in fifth – are separated by three points. For Jones, the playoffs are Job One. As a junior in PoCo, the playoffs were a pipedream. “My last championship I think was in intermediate, (in) 2007, so that’s a while. I haven’t won a playoff series since I’ve been here so if we can get one of those under our belts and get to the finals, you never know what happens. Anyone can beat anyone on any night in this league,” he said. The Lakers, who visited New West on Thursday (past the NOW’s deadline) host sixth-place Nanaimo at the Copeland Arena on Tuesday.

SFU golfer honoured

Simon Fraser University’s Chris Crisologo was named to the NCAA Div. 2 PING AllAmerica third team by the Golf Coaches Association of America.

A sophomore on Burnaby Mountain, Crisologo was among 24 student-athletes who received the All-America honour. He is coming off a strong sea-

son with the SFU golf team, having taken the 2016 Great Northwest Athletic Conference player of the year award. He picked up medals in two NCAA tournaments.

Burnaby’s Jacey Bailey was among the 17 athletes selected for the under-18 women’s national basketball team tryouts and training camp, ongoing now until July 8 in Toronto. One of two B.C. players to receive invitations, Bailey a 5-foot-11 forward who can also play guard, graduated this month from Burnaby Mountain Secondary. This is the third time Bailey has attended the u18 invitation camp, with this gathering being the focus point from where a 12-woman roster will be announced to compete at the U18 FIBA Americas, July 13 to 17 in Chile. It’s part of an incredible senior season for the teen, which saw her pump up her scholarship credentials with a 55-point game in February, that featured 12 treys. She committed to Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. “We’re looking forward to working with this group,” said u18 national women’s coach Carly Clarke. “It will be a competitive camp as we look to put together the best team to compete at the FIBA Americas in Chile and qualify for the 2017 U19 world championships.”
