Former Safeway dairy plant soldDespite being part of concept plan for Southgate developmentWanda [email protected]

Agropur Cooperative has purchased the former Safeway dairy plant in South Burnaby as part of a $356-million transaction that also includes two plants in Edmonton and one in Winnipeg.

How this could affect the proposed Southgate development next door on the former Safeway distribution centre lands is not yet known.

Agropur said in a press release that the sale includes licensing of the Lucerne trademark for the production and distribution of milk and cream and long-term supply agreements.

“We are very excited about this transaction,” said Serge Riendeau, president of Quebec-based Agropur, in the release. “The dairy industry, both Canadian and worldwide, is very competitive. This transaction will confirm our leadership position in the Canadian milk industry, for the greater benefit of all

Ministry considering moving Burnaby to Vancouver Coastal Wanda [email protected]

A damning review of Burnaby Hospital by the Ministry of Health is already outdated, says the hospital’s former medical coordinator.

The provincially ordered review of the Fraser Health Authority, released last week, found Burnaby had the second-worst rate of nursing-sensitive adverse events –

such as infections, bed sores and fractures in hospital – in Canada for two straight years.

Dr. David Jones served as the head of medical staff at Burnaby Hospital from 2008 to June 2014. He said the statistics the province used, from 2010 to 2012, are “quite out of date.”

The performance of the hospital has improved significantly since then, Jones stressed.

“We haven’t reached perfection by any means. Some of it relates to the

structure of the hospital and how out of date it is. But the statistics … show the tremendous improvement that’s happened over the last couple

of years.”The seven-month review

of Fraser Health was ordered largely in response to its inability to avoid successive budget overruns. It determined that hospital emergency rooms are

overused by non-urgent cases which would be better seen by family doctors or at community care facilities. Health Minister

Terry Lake announced the health authority will get an additional $60 million over two years to help open up more community care beds, among other initiatives.

Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan criticized the ministry for laying blame at Fraser Health when it is moves by the Liberal government, she said, which caused many current problems.

When first elected in 2001, the Liberals promised to build 5,000 more long-term care beds to help free up acute care beds.

Caroline Ballhorn and Jenny Lee Craig aren’t camping in Deer Lake Park.

Nor are they slinging fries from their 18-foot 1969 Streamline trailer.

Those are some of the enquiries they’ve gotten since they encamped their mobile art space, the Tin Can Studio, in the park two weeks ago.

And they’ll likely hear them again before they leave on Sept. 1.

Ballhorn and Craig have been commissioned by the Burnaby Art Gallery to help visitors to the park think about how they use it, and imagine new ways to use the green space, trails and lake.

At least three days a week they open the door to their round, silver trailer and invite people to drop in to talk about the park, record their ideas in a log book, write submissions for the suggestion jars, maybe make a drawing or help build a structure.

Guests artists like Erin Marranca, Brodie Kitchen and Zoe Kreye will also be on hand on some days to guide specific

projects like building miniature 3-D pavilions and then turning them into full-sized collapsible tent structures.

Ballhorn and Craig also plan to host picnics, a drawing club and even outdoor dance sessions.

It’s all about creating connections between people and

the spaces they may take for granted, says Ballhorn.

“It generates ideas for using park spaces in different ways,” she said.

That process often begins with curious passersby poking their heads into the open door to ask “what are you guys doing here?”

By giving those visitors something creative to do, to think about, it begins to create a conversation about the park.

“If you have something in your hands, if you’re doing something, you can initiate intimate conversations between strangers,” she said.

“It causes people to stop.”Although, she admits,

sometimes they just want to learn about the trailer, which she acquired off Craigslist five years ago for her graduating project at Emily Carr University.

Ballhorn and another artist gutted its interior and rebuilt it as a mobile art studio, complete with folding tables, wide drawers for storing finished pieces, stools, a sink and cupboards for supplies. Since then the Tin Can Studio has collaborated with the Vancouver Parks Board, the Powell Street Festival, Langara College and ViVO Media Arts.

“We think of the trailer as a hub,” said Craig.

It also helps break down assumptions that art has to be stuffy and only done by skilled and talented artists.

“It expands the notion of making art,” said Craig. “It’s more than just setting up an easel in the park.”

But that hasn’t happened, Corrigan said adding, in fact, hundreds of such beds have been lost since then.

There have also been cuts and a lack of investment to community health clinics, home care, and day programs for seniors, she said.

“I think it’s interesting that over the last several years the number of managers has gone up by 20 per cent,” she said.

“I remember the doctors at Burnaby Hospital three to four years ago saying this centralized

approach was going to take away local input and was not going to be good for patient care. And now this report says ‘oops, it’s not working the way we thought it was going to.’”

Corrigan noted that some of the issues faced by Burnaby Hospital are related to the aging facility and its outdated design, which was identified as being one of the factors in the C. difficile outbreaks linked to dozens of deaths in recent years.

But the hospital was identified as needing to be replaced as far

back as 2001. “Frankly, I’m incensed at this

report and the fact it does not address the lack of leadership and the mistakes, the grievous mistakes, that have been made by Liberal politicians.”

Lake also said in his announcement that the ministry is looking into whether or not to move the Burnaby local health area to Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

That’s because of the large

number of Burnaby patients who already go in to Vancouver for treatment.

Jones said he’s willing to keep an open mind and would support moving to whichever health authority that would give Burnaby Hospital the resources it needs.

Burnaby Coun. Paul McDonell served seven years on the board of

the former Simon Fraser Health Region in the 1990s.

His tenure ended when the

Liberals were elected and the health regions were merged into five large health authorities.

McDonell believes Fraser Health is so large, covering the area from Burnaby to Boston Bar, that it’s become unmanageable.

As for potentially moving Burnaby within Vancouver Coastal, he said, “Fraser Health is in turmoil right now … At least there’d be some stability going to Vancouver.”

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.

Grandma and Grandpa, who better?

Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?

The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.

Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:

General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”

If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.

Tally still weeks away: districtWanda [email protected]

The cancellation of summer school due to the teachers’ strike could end up being a hit to Burnaby school district’s bottom line.

Summer school programs usually bring in about $2.1 million in revenues, said district secretary-treasurer Greg Frank. But the direct costs of putting on the programs total about $2 million.

“We’re still trying to determine whether or not we’re able to avoid all of those costs

or whether or not some of those costs may continue,” Frank said.

The majority of the expenses would be paying for teacher staffing, which is no longer an issue. But there may be different levels of salaries for planning the programs and supplies already purchased for them

that would still be on the books.

The true financial impact isn’t known yet. “It may be a few weeks yet before we really have got a clear handle on that picture,” he said.

“The good news for the district is the summer school is not a large net contributor to our bottom line. So loss

of the revenues—as long as we can avoid the majority of the costs—the impact on the bottom line should not be too significant.”

But the loss of that revenue will just add to the continuing financial challenges faced by the district, just like others around the province.

In the spring, the district made cuts to offset a $3.1-million budget shortfall for the next school year. Frank said in an interview at the time that Burnaby is expecting a $4.2-million shortfall in 2015-2016 and $1.6-million in 2016-2017 while the government has so far said its operating grants to schools will stay the same.

Three years after the fact, a Burnaby man has been convicted for his part in the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in downtown Vancouver.

Curtis Blaine Hill was recently convicted of participating in the riot and of break-and-enter with the intent of committing an indictable offence.

Hill, a North Burnaby resident, and a friend had been drinking before heading downtown. They drank some more when they arrived before the end of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final when the

Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins June 15, 2011.

When the riot started, they did not leave the area despite the efforts of police to disperse the crowd. Instead, Hill, then 33, and his friend were among those that broke into the London Drugs store at the corner of Georgia and Granville streets.

At one point, Hill testified he did not know there was a riot until he was affected by the tear gas, something Provincial Court Judge M. Giardini said in his reasons for judgment was “simply not credible.”

Hill claimed he was only

at the store trying to get his friend to leave, according the judgment. The friend claimed Hill never tried to do so.

In fact, London Drugs surveillance video showed Hill walking into the store directly behind his friend. Once inside, instead of following his friend, Hill is seen heading off into a different direction.

Giardini could not conclude from the video footage that Hill stole anything once inside, but noted that is not necessary to convict on the break-and-enter charge.

Hill also argued his charges should be stayed because his rights were infringed upon.

VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province.

The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds.

Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.”

For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island.

Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can

confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.

Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous.

My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h.

There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will

automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents.

The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation.

Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up.

Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is more people are hiring lawyers.

Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas.

Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are.

In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in a decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style.

But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road.

“The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.”

If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letting drivers set speed limits

It’s hot.There’s no doubt summer has

arrived in earnest this week, sending temperatures near record levels across the region.

Many of us have sought solace as we can. Snapping up fans and mini air conditioners off the shelves. Heading to the beach or the local outdoor pool.

Heck, even dipping our feet in a bucket full of ice water.

Whatever works.Some of us are lucky enough

to get out of town for a while, camping or holidaying near the ocean or a lake where we can cool off.

The rest of us, those in town out of choice or necessity, may be tied to our usual routines and responsibilities.

If possible, this is a good time to break out a little. Forget the routines, let the dishes wait, put the projects around the house on hold.

This kind of weather is only here for a brief stretch. We’ll be back to wet and cool before we know it.

By drinking our fill of what we’ve been given today, we might—just possibly—be a little more able to savour those romantic, drizzly West Coast days that come in earnest by November.

Head down to the beach with a basket of food and a blanket after work to savour the sunset. Invite some friends over for a barbecue, or meet them in one of our fantastic local parks for a picnic.

Locally, if you want to be on the river, try Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby or Westminster Pier Park in New Westminster.

If you want to be on the ocean, Barnet Marine Park is a fantastic place to savour the evening (and a little shade) at the end of the day.

Go to the fireworks, the festival—whatever strikes your fancy.

Summer’s here. Embrace it.

COMMENTI’ve lived my whole life trying

to do the right thing. It was the way we were raised.We were just part of what was

called the moral majority. This idea has all changed now

to the idea that if you don’t get caught it isn’t wrong.

We are moving closer and closer to a lawless society.

Take Mayor Derek Corrigan’s recent stand on the ticket he got for distracted driving. I would never think to fight a ticket I deserved.

He should man up and pay it. He could probably find a way for us to pay for it somehow anyway.

The other day while walking I saw a City of Burnaby dump truck make a left turn at the roundabout without going around.

LES SHOULD RESIGNMiami is a low-lying city with

a population of about half a million at the southeast tip of Florida.

Miami is slowly being wiped out by sea level rise.

Since Miami is in an advanced industrial nation that actually has public infrastructure, we are starting to see that there are some particularly disgusting aspects

to the inundation.Our sewage treatment systems

rely on the fact that water flows downhill, and they require that the water table be significantly below the source points.

Now, as the water rises near Miami, it’s coming too close to the sources of sewage, and when flooding happens, it’s not just plain water, but sewage that’s flowing the wrong way. Welcome to the new reality of climate change.

John Les, a BC Liberal insider and current chair of the Farm Industry Review Board recently attended a conference of the Heartland Institute.

The Heartland Institute is a climate change denier think tank whose sole purpose is to create semi-plausible lies to trick people to not act on climate change.

Why is a B.C. government official associating with these people?

Does he need to acquire a new bag of lies?

We have to insist on a better standard of behaviour from our public officials.

I think John Les needs to be forced to resign immediately.

THANKS FOR THE HELPI’d like to say a huge thank

you to Kirk (the driver behind the bus) and to Rick (a passenger on the bus) that stopped the other afternoon (July 8) to make sure I was okay after I had a very scary moment while cycling through Burnaby on my way home from work.

It is reassuring to know there are good people such as yourselves out there and I will keep it in mind to “pay it forward.”

Many, many thanks for your help and concern.

To the bus driver that nearly sideswiped me into the parked cars, PLEASE drive safely!

Business groups back urgent action on flood works Jeff NagelBlack Press

A new report underscores the Fraser River’s importance to the Lower Mainland economy and calls for an urgent program of dredging and other flood prevention measures, as well as upgrades to critical infrastructure.

Commissioned

by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with other chambers in the region, the study warns the region escaped a very close call in 2007.

“The river came perilously close to overtopping the dikes in the Fraser Valley during the spring freshet,” says the report, which is to be released at a conference today.

It cites estimates that another flood

rivaling the record flood of 1894 would cause tens of billions of dollars in damage and catastrophic losses for the 300,000 residents of the floodplain, as well as business and industry.

Unlike the sparsely populated farmland of 120 years ago, there is now $50 billion worth of development on the Fraser’s floodplain.

“Failure to deal expeditiously with this problem will leave a large part of the Lower

Mainland at risk of enormous damage.”

The study comes a few days after new provincial government

studies projected major floods will be more frequent and severe as a result of climate change, and warned most dikes in the Fraser Valley are not high enough.

The new research on the influence of

climate change and the severe flooding in Calgary and Toronto last year “highlighted the need to act urgently

to enhance flood protection along the Lower Fraser,” according to the report released by

the business groups.It notes estimates of

$9.5 billion in spending needed in Metro Vancouver to adapt to an expected rise in sea level.

“With rising sea levels, there is a growing threat of

winter storm surges that already could overtop the very extensive diking system along the tidal part of the river and adjacent coastal reaches.”

Facing the challenges posed by the river is made more difficult by the fragmented governance of the region, the report said, noting there are 15 municipal governments, 29 first nations and more than 20 provincial or federal ministries involved in administration of the river.

“It is very important that a renewed, collaborative, multi-level government effort be undertaken to renew protection from floods.”

The report echoes concerns raised by Port Metro Vancouver over the loss of industrial land along the river to residential redevelopment projects approved by local

cities.It also calls for

ongoing active maintenance dredging of the lower river channels to New Westminster for shipping.

And it describes the replacement of the Massey Tunnel with a bridge as “an urgent priority” in light of its vulnerability to an earthquake and the potential for larger or more heavily laden ships to sail upriver once it’s removed.

It also urges replacement of the aging New Westminster rail bridge, which causes significant delays for freight trains and is vulnerable to be being knocked out of service by a ship collision. A two-track train tunnel under the river has been suggested but there are no concrete plans.

CITYFAIR

Merged with classic car and motorcycle show a few years agoWanda [email protected]

The annual Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car and Motorcycle Show takes over

Edmonds Street on Sunday, July 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The street festival will include a petting zoo, kids activities, multicultural displays, food and entertainment. And as it has for the past few years, the City Fair event has been merged with the event formerly known as the

Edmonds Show and Shine, said one of the organizers, Shauna Pratt.

Edmonds Street will be closed to traffic between Kingsway and Canada Way from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

That will make way for the car and motorcycle show.

While that part of the event is largely weather dependent—owners of the restored vehicles don’t like driving them in the rain—last year more than 100 vehicles showed up and registration is up for this year, said car show organizer Bonnie Game by email.

This year’s car show event will conclude with a “poker run” at 3:30 p.m. that will see participating drivers all head to sponsor Grand Villa Casino to compete for cash prizes.

As for the rest of the fair, there will be more entertainment, said Pratt. Marilyn Monroe and Elvis tribute acts will be back this year and there will be more performers in the talent search that runs from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

Also taking the stage at New Vista Place and Edmonds are a dog training show by Doggie Mind, a demonstration by Columbia Martial Arts, Dance n’ Stars Showcase, and a sign language performance by the Tzu Chi Institute.

City Fair takes over Edmonds Sunday

Edmonds Street will be shut down this Sunday as it becomes a neighbourhood stroll for City Fair.

Burnaby firefighters will be offering an affordable hotdog lunch, among the food vendors.

This year will see more Edmonds merchants open for business and involved in the event, including almost all the restaurants.

The City Fair used to take place in September and the car show was in the summer. “Both had challenges to keep things rolling,” said Pratt, but their merger has led to an event that’s grown from year to year.

“Our whole intention was for people and the merchants

of Edmonds to get inspired to really create their own fair. And that’s what’s happening,” said Pratt.

“They’re becoming the owners of this fair and it’s really nice to see. It’s just all part of creating a lively community in Edmonds.”

Merged event growing each year

There is always lots of fun for the kids at City Fair.

The Edmonds City Fair Story

For many years volunteer committees organized an Edmonds Show ’n Shine Car Show while another group of volunteers, inspired by Burnaby City Coun. Paul McDonell, created the annual Edmonds City Fair.

Then, a few years ago, it became clear that combining the two would be a great innovation and Edmonds City Fair and Classic Car & Motorcycle Show was born.

(These same people bring you the Edmonds Festival of Lights in the winter).

The organizing committee consists of people from local non-profit organizations, local firefighters, RCMP and community service groups, as well as the merchants of Edmonds Street and City of Burnaby staff. Each year the event gets better and better.

Why not sign up for the Talent Search?

Volunteer Burnaby is looking for talent!

As organizer of the annual Edmonds City Fair Talent Search, Jeff Scheffel, Community Developer with Volunteer Burnaby, is a key member of the City Fair Planning Committee.

“The City Fair Talent Search has been a great way for talented young people to showcase their abilities,” says Scheffel.

“It’s also good entertainment for the visitors to City Fair!”

Talent Search participants will be competing for valuable gift cards from Lougheed Town Centre as well as gaining experience performing in front of a crowd.

Awards will be presented at Humphries Avenue and Edmonds Street at approximately 2:30 p.m., along with the announcement of the Car and Motorcycle Show winners.

The City Fair’s Talent Search is a great opportunity for artists to perform in front of a friendly, supportive local crowd and refine their talents.Some performers, of course, don’t need a stage to tempt them to play.

of our members, producers and owners”

Marc Labelle, Agropur’s director of public relations and communications, said the sale includes both the Burnaby plant’s land and operations, which employ about 70 people.

The sale still requires regulatory approvals before it’s finalized, something that is expected to happen within the next month, Labelle said from Longueuil, Que.

“They’re very, very good plants. They’re optimal, I don’t see anything happening there other than business as usual,” he said.

The plant was purchased from Sobeys which itself bought Safeway last year. Milk produced there will continue to be distributed through Safeway and Sobeys stores.

The 42-acre Safeway distribution centre site, bounded by 11th and 14th avenues and 15th and 18th streets near the New Westminster border, was sold to developer Ledingham McAllister in 2011.

It is currently planning a 48-acre community dubbed Southgate. The draft concept plan includes the dairy plant site as well as two city-owned properties, 7701 and 7679 18th St., to serve as a connection to the City in the Park neighbourhood and the Edmonds SkyTrain station.

The concept calls for a variety of housing types, including up to 20 towers ranging in height from 19 to 46 storeys. At its heart will be a five-acre park with a small lake and meandering stream.

“The Southgate plans are based on a phased plan of development, with development of the site expected to be pursued over 10, 15 or more years,” said Burnaby city

planning director Lou Pelletier by email. “The Dairy Plant site is part of this phased program, and as such, the plan will not require any adjustments related to current or future ownership interests.

“We had always expected that the Dairy Plant would continue operating for a period of time under the planned phased development program. The development timing for lands in the Southgate plan area, similar to other development in the City, is advanced based on the interests of the land owner.”

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s community development committee, expressed disappointment at the sale.

“I think that’s too bad because that particular piece of property won’t be available for development as part of the plan for the area, not in the immediate future, that’s for sure.”

If the concept and master plans are eventually approved by city council, the development could turn the dairy plant into something of an industrial island of several acres surrounded by housing.

Jordan said the two city-owned properties are proposed to be developed first as they would provide the rest of the project its main access from Griffiths Avenue. The south side of the rest of the lands are to be built next, looping around the water feature, with the dairy plant property to be constructed last.

That is, if it ever does become part of the development site.

A representative of Ledingham McAllister did not respond to requests for comment before the NewsLeader’s press time.

Burnaby Lakers outshot the top-ranked team in the country but couldn’t outscore them.

The visiting Victoria Shamrocks defeated the Lakers 8-6 at Bill Copeland Arena on Friday despite Burnaby holding a 50-44 shot advantage.

The loss negated an opportunity the Lakers (7-6-0) had to leapfrog the Maple Ridge Burrards (7-5-1) into third place in the Western Lacrosse Association. Victoria improved to 11-1-2.

The difference came in the first period when the Shamrocks outscored the Lakers 5-3. Robert Church scored three goals and

assisted on two others for Burnaby. Jason Jones and Scott Jones both had a goal and two assists. The other Burnaby goal was scored by Casey Jackson.

The Lakers will play the Coquitlam Adanacs (5-8-0) at Copeland on Friday, 7:45 p.m., before battling the Burrards in Maple Ridge on Sunday.

Mark Santorelli signs in Austria

Burnaby puck product Mark Santorelli, younger brother of Toronto Maple Leaf Mike Santorelli, has signed to play in the Austrian league for Villach.

Mark played in Italy in 2013-14 leading Bolzano in scoring with 45 points and 14 goals in 54 games.

Francois fourthAlex Francois of Burnaby tied

for fourth at the B.C. junior boys golf championship played at the par-70 Meadow Gardens course in Pitt Meadows last week.

Francois shot 71-73-74-70=288, eight-over par to finish five strokes behind winner Kenton Gudz of Victoria.

Alan Tolusso of Burnaby tied for 43rd with 80-72-76-77=305. Kevin Li and Brendan Lancaster of Burnaby missed the cut.

Lakers fall to Shamrocks

Luke Keough’s week in the Lower Mainland was spectacular, and not just because of the weather.

The cyclist from Sandwich, Mass., won his third race in three nights in taking the men’s Giro di Burnaby on Thursday. The night before that he’d won the Gastown Grand Prix, and two nights previous he captured the UBC Grand Prix.

It was a clean sweep of the podium for Keough and his UnitedHealthcare team in the 45-lap, 55-kilometre race around Burnaby Heights. Ken Hanson of San Diego, who won the Giro in 2012, finished second. Australian Hilton Clarke, who won the inaugural Giro di Burnaby in 2006, came third.

Erica Allar of Fogelsville, Penn., won the 30-lap, 37-km women’s race just ahead of Winnipeg native and now Squamish resident Leah Kirchmann. Third place went to 47-year-old Laura van Gilder of Cresco, Penn., who won the Giro in 2012. Fifteen-year-old Maggie Coles-Lyster of Maple Ridge was 19th in the field of 51 after leading the race with a lap to go.
