Canada captured bronze at the 2014Quidditch Global Games at the BurnabyLake Sports Complex Saturday.
The international competition drewteams from seven countries to competefor global supremacy in the Harry Potter-inspired sport. The Canucks went 4-2 in theround-robin portion of the one-day tourna-ment, falling to eventual repeat championsU.S.A. and to Australia, who would go onto take silver.
The home team rallied in the bronzemedal game, however, defeating TeamU.K. 60-40 with a snitch snatch from seekerAlexander Graham.
“Everybody left everything on thepitch that last game,” said Rebecca Alley,a Burnaby native and assistant coach with
the team.It was the first time Alley, who recently
wrapped up four years of playing at theUniversity of Ottawa, had had a chance toshowcase quidditch in her hometown.
Friends and family were surprised andimpressed by the fast pace and physicalityof the full-contact, co-ed game, she said.
“My grandma talked to me after one ofthe games and she said that she just has awhole new respect for the sport of quid-ditch and what I’ve been doing for the lastfour years,” Alley said.
The Canadian team also had a decidedhometown advantage when it came to fansupport at the local venue, she said.
An estimated 1,000 people came out tocheck out the unusual sport, and most puttheir support behind Team Canada.
“It was just really really cool to experi-ence that because none of us had everplayed in a situation with that many spec-tators all cheering for us,” Alley said. “Theentire stand was full and there were peoplestanding along the fence and they were allcheering for us.”

The off-duty Burnaby RCMPofficer who was docked six days’pay for uttering sexually explicitinsults at a woman who stole hisparking spot wasn’t the only onewith a foul mouth in the alterca-tion.
In the adjudication reportobtained by the NOW, more
details have arisen regarding theargument the two had outside theWillowbrook Shopping Centre inLangley on the afternoon of NewYear’s Eve 2011.
The agreed statement of factsnotes that Harinder Paul Pablawas waiting for a parking spotto open with his turn signal onwhen Jessica Olive took the space.Pabla ended up parking a shortdistance away, and as he walkedtoward the mall entrance, he toldOlive that he had been waitingfor the spot with his signal on.
“She curtly replied, ‘I didn’tsee your f**king blinker,’ andcontinued walking,” reads thestatement. “Rather than leave it atthat, (Pabla) suggested to (Olive)
that she ought to get a lighter pairof sunglasses, and she replied,‘Well, maybe you should con-sider not being a f**king dick,’and gave him the finger.”
The statement continues withseveral sexually explicit com-ments from Pabla, to which Olivekicked him in the leg and kneeand hit him with her purse. Asthey walked toward the mallentrance, Olive told him to stopfollowing her and dropped aseries of F-bombs, then uttereda racial slur before advancingtoward him “in an aggressivemanner, as if she was intent onassaulting him again.”
At this point, Pabla pulled outhis badge, identified himself as a
cop and told her that she couldbe arrested if she assaulted himagain.
Olive turned around to headback toward the mall entranceand Pabla headed the same direc-tion to go to the dentist.
“(Pabla) proceeded to walkpast her, intending to give hera wide berth. As he did so, sheswung her purse at him, hittinghim in the groin and head area.He swung his arm at her to wardoff further blows, contacting hershoulder, then continued towardsand into the mall to the adjacentdentist office.”
While Olive told police thatPabla had assaulted her, a judgeruled last August that the situa-
tion was, in fact, vice versa. Pablawas acquitted of the charge, andthe judge decided that he acted inself-defence “in response to theunprovoked assault she perpe-trated against him while he waswalking past her.”
Nonetheless, the judge notedthat Pabla had “been the authorof his own misfortune” and thathis “demeanour, tone, use ofsarcasm and gutterspeak” wasunacceptable for a 16-year RCMPofficer.
The disciplinary decisionnoted that Pabla’s off-dutyactions go against the RCMP’score values and the adjudicationboard upheld the forfeiture of sixdays’ pay.

Burnaby and New Westminster is the only sub-regionin Metro Vancouver that didn’t experience an increasein annual bus boardings between 2010 and 2013, accord-ing to Translink’s 2013 Bus Service Performance Reviewreleased last week.
While the two cities actually saw a two per cent increasein boardings between 2012 and 2013, their three-year ratewas flat, unlike the rest of the metro region, which saw acombined three per cent increase over the same period.
Annual service hours for the two cities remained near-ly the same, at 471,000 hours in 2013 compared to 469,000in 2010. But the cost per boarded passenger decreased 3.2per cent, from $1.34 in 2010 to $1.29, due in part because ofan increased use of mini-buses, which are cheaper to run.

Other than beautifulscenery and having thesame monarch, B.C. and
Australia don’t have much incommon.
And they have even less incommon now, because Australiahas scrapped itscarbon tax, which isstill very much aliveand kicking in thisprovince.
The Australian carbon taxwas introduced in 2010 by aLabor Party government thathad just won an election aftervowing to not implement sucha tax.
However, while the LaborParty won the election, it did notwin a majority of seats. It neededthe support of the Green Party toform government and the pricefor that was giving the GreenParty what it wanted: a carbontax, which Labor had been onrecord as opposing before theelection.
Needless to say, the publicwas furious. The Labor Partysubsequently changed leadersand said it would repeal the car-bon tax, but it was still defeatedin last year’s election.
There is a striking parallelhere, of course, to another taxcontroversy: the HST that for-mer premier Gordon Campbellsprung on an unsuspecting pub-lic after the 2009 election cam-paign, during which his partyhad actually stated it had no
designs to introduce such a tax.Like his Australian counter-
parts, Campbell was driven fromoffice by a tax revolt. Except, thecritical difference here is thatanother big tax brought in byCampbell – the carbon tax – gen-
erated no such revolt,and instead appears tohave paid off.
In fact, B.C.’s carbontax actually hurt the
party that opposed it – the NDP,which opposed the tax after itwas introduced in 2008, andmade its opposition to the tax akey part of its 2009 election plat-form, which was firmly rejectedby the voters.
Campbell artfully tied thisprovince’s carbon tax to a cor-responding income tax cut, anda significant rebate scheme forlow-income earners.
The result has been that anycall for a repeal of the carbon taxin this province would be linkedto a tax increase. That’s becausethe tax collects about $1.1 billionannually, which pays for almost$200 million in tax credits andrebates for low-income people,plus a five per cent income taxcut ($235 million) and more than$700 million for a host of busi-ness tax cuts.
Getting rid of the tax, then,would increase everyone’sincome tax bill by five per cent,hit poor people particularlyhard, and hit businesses with tax

Food labelling a tiny part of better healthLast week, the federal government
announced proposed changes to foodlabelling with an aim for us to makehealthier choices at the super-market.
The proposed changeswould make it easier for us toread those labels, Health Canada says,and include tweaks to the NutritionFacts table, ingredients list and DailyValues on food labels, as well as anudge to suppliers of similar foodproducts to use consistent serving sizes
for the nutrition info on those labels.Health Canada is hoping that if and
when these changes go into effect, busyparents will look twice beforegrabbing for the Froot Loops.
That’s because the newlabels would have sugars
grouped together and nutrition infor-mation would be presented moreclearly.
The Canadian Diabetes Associationapplauds the ministry’s efforts. So doesDietitians of Canada.
And while we, too, support theeffort, we think it’s important to notethat healthy choices start before wewheel our shopping cart down the gro-cery store aisle.
It starts with meal planning andcooking from scratch rather than grab-and-go meals from a fast food outlet.
It starts with walking to the cornergrocer for a carton of milk instead oftaking the car.
It starts with sending our kids to thepark to play rather than allowing end-
less hours of screen time indoors.Easier-to-read food labels are a wel-
come step in the effort to build a nationof healthier eaters.
But costly consultations, policypapers and regulations won’t end obe-sity or curtail the continued rise ofdiabetes.
Healthy choices start with changingwhat has become for all of us a cultureof convenience.

City needs to cooperate moreDear Editor:
Re: City needs to put out political fire, Letters tothe editor, Burnaby NOW, July 16
It is very encouraging to see that common sensedoes still exist in Burnaby. Her assessment of thesituation with respect to potential fires is spot on.It is extremely disappointing that Mayor Corrigandoes not share this view.
I would expect Mayor Corrigan and city councilto be managing the situation with Kinder Morgan toensure that any problem is dealt with expeditiously.Instead, they seem to be doing their best to be unco-operative and obstructive. So now we can expectthat in the event of a disastrous situation occurring,
the result will be even worse than it could havebeen. This is not the behaviour I expect from electedofficials. I wonder if Ms. Gillies would be willing torun for mayor.

expand the Trans Mountain pipeline sys-tem. In there he will find that the com-pany tells the Canadian regulator crude oilprices in Canada will rise if the expansionis approved. Then, he needs to listen toIan Anderson’s presentation to investoranalysts in Houston, Texas, last Januarybefore commenting on my letter.
My letter points out what KinderMorgan says about its pipeline’s expan-sion leading to higher crude oil prices inCanada and how Ian Anderson, presidentof Kinder Morgan Canada, misled BurnabyNOW readers, when he tried to massagethe message for public relations purposes.
In trying to promote the expansionproject’s dubious economic benefit, KinderMorgan has claimed vast increases in theprice of crude oil for all oil produced inWestern Canada. If the company is goingto make wild claims about windfall profitsto oil producers because of higher crudeoil prices – by as much as $25 per barrelaccording to Mr. Anderson – then theyhave to take responsibility for what thosehigher prices mean to domestic refinerieswho purchase Western Canadian crudeand ultimately how these higher prices arepassed onto consumers and businesses.
Mr. Stoness tries to suggest that WesternCanadian and U.S. refineries would absorba price increase of as much as $25 per bar-rel on Western Canadian crude. This isabsurd. Refineries faced with such priceincreases in their feedstock costs will – asin the past – pass them onto us.
What I find particularly fascinating,however, is Kinder Morgan will address
this issue in an open letter through theBurnaby NOW but aggressively avoids it atthe NEB hearing. As an intervenor, I asked“does Trans Mountain believe that the costof gasoline at the pumps, and the cost ofother petroleum product prices facing endusers may be a public interest issue?”
The answer I received was a refusal toanswer: “Trans Mountain acknowledgesthat the price of gasoline and other petro-leum prices facing end users is of interestto the public, … however, the informationrequest is not relevant to one or moreof the issues identified in the NationalEnergy Board’s list of issues for the TransMountain Expansion Project.”

Where are the oil jobs?Dear Editor:
I have sat and read how the pipe-lines (Enbridge and Kinder Morgan ) wereneeded to get our oil from Alberta to theports of B.C. and all the construction jobsthey are going to make, but no one seemsto speak up and say how many good jobswould be made here in Canada if the oilis refined here instead of overseas andthen shipped from here. The refinery anddownstream jobs for Canadians youngand old would be huge, but it seems ourfederal and provincial governments don’tseem to be concerned about things likethat. That is seen in our logs leaving hereand also a lot of our minerals. It seems ourpeople in high places are not concernedabout the ordinary Canadian and goodvalue-added jobs that should be madehere, not somewhere else.

Pipeline means pricier gas
Carbon tax: Emissions decreasinghikes that would inevitablybe passed onto consum-ers. No wonder the NDPdoesn’t talk about the taxmuch these days.
But the carbon tax alsoappears to be having thedesired impact on whatit is supposed to do: leadto a reduction in the useof carbon. According toSustainable Prosperity,an Ottawa-based “green”research group, fossil fueluse in B.C. has droppedby 16 per cent since thetax came in. Meanwhile,fossil fuel use in the rest ofCanada has actually goneup three per cent in thatsame time period.
And as for Australia,well, its status as one of theworld’s worst greenhousegas emitters per capita
will continue. The countryrelies heavily on its vastreserves of cheap coal forits supply of electricity. Thecountry has also blownabout a $7 billion hole ingovernment revenues overthe next four years, whichwill undoubtedly havenegative repercussions forthe delivery of health care,education and social servi-ces. I’m not sure whetherthe opposite experiencesof B.C. and Australia whenit comes to a carbon taxmeans people of one juris-diction are any more or lessenvironmentally friendlythan those in the other. ButI do think there’s a lessonhere about how to intro-duce new taxes, whetherthey are carbon-related ornot. The lesson is this: ifa government is going to
create a new tax, do it justbefore an election cam-paign and not immediatelyafter one.
The B.C. Liberals didthat with a carbon tax butfailed to do so with theHST. The party was badlybruised and was forcedto dump its leader, butstill won another term inpower. The AustralianLabor party implementedthe carbon tax like the B.C.Liberals handled the HST,and subsequently chewedup two of its leaders beforebeing booted from power.
Playing games withtaxes can be very danger-ous for governments. B.C.’scarbon tax is an exampleof the right way of playingthe game.

Corrigan said he wants Kinder Morgan to get on with it,put a formal application in so the city can reject it, and thenhe will deal with the National Energy Board.
“Get your formal refusal, and get on with your NationalEnergy Board application,” he said. “But if the NationalEnergy Board is going to order us to dothat, then do so, and we’ll comply to theNational Energy Board order, … but wewant a chance to go in and argue beforethe National Energy Board why theyshouldn’t grant that order.”
Last week, the board announcedthe pipeline hearing would be delayedby seven months, because the boardneeded more information on theBurnaby Mountain route. The new linewas originally supposed to run throughBurnaby’s Westridge neighbourhood,but that plan was dropped because ofopposition from local residents. KinderMorgan changed the preferred routeto Burnaby Mountain in April, rough-ly four months after filing the projectapplication with the NEB.
Now, the company wants to eitherdrill or tunnel through the mountain toconnect the tank farm to the WestridgeMarine Terminal, where tankers fill upwith crude. The tunnelling option ismore expensive but would also allowKinder Morgan to move the existingpipeline out of Westridge and run itthrough the mountain instead.
Corrigan also expressed concern about the new plan.“Tunnelling is not good. It has a lot of issues,” he said.
“The initial assessment we’ve got is the mountain is notparticularly stable. It may not be seismically safe. … Youcan imagine if that oil starts spilling through the mountaininternally. That’s a problem that will take a thousand yearsto fix.”

A coroner’s inquest is underway inBurnaby into the shooting death of RyanJacob.
Jacob was shot and killed by a BurnabyRCMP officer on Jan. 31, 2013 followingan incident in the 4100 block of AlbertStreet. The 45-year-old allegedly threat-ened a friend he was visiting in Burnabywith a knife before turning on respondingBurnaby RCMP officers.
The Independent Investigations Officeof B.C. was brought in to investigate thecircumstances of the death and concludedthat the officer who shot Jacob three times
had not committed an offence and thereforeno charges were laid.

The B.C. Securities Commission hasfound that Adis Golic was illegally distrib-uting securities from a boiler-room opera-tion in Burnaby roughly seven years ago.
The decision is no surprise, as Golic(also known as Ady) was sentenced in2012 to 60 days in jail and forced to payback $40,000 to a retired couple he tookmoney from while illegally selling shares.
Golic was raising money for a companythat was purportedly developing a mufflerthat reduced greenhouse gas emissions by97 per cent, something the Crown’s expertconsidered bogus.
The B.C. Securities Commission panelis now banning Golic from trading orbuying in securities. He’s not allowed tobuy exchange contracts either, and he’sprohibited from becoming a director or
officer of any company selling securitiesfor seven years.
The panel, which was waiting for thecriminal case to run its course, announcedthe restrictions againstGolic on Wednesday.
According to a 2008press release fromthe B.C. SecuritiesCommission, the agen-cy issued a tempo-rary cease trade orderagainst Golic (and histwo related compa-nies AD Capital U.S.Inc. and AdcapitalIndustries Inc.) aftersimultaneous raids onGolic’s home and a room on Royal OakAvenue, in Burnaby, where 10 peoplewere allegedly promoting securities topotential investors over the phone.

The second large-scale SkyTrain meltdown in five dayscaused havoc for Burnaby and New Westminster com-muters Monday.
An electrical-panel malfunction wiped out power tothe Expo and Millennium lines at 12:30 p.m., and full ser-vice did not resume until 5:30 p.m.
The system failure, which came on the heels of a com-puter-card problem that had shut down the system justfour days earlier, trapped commuters on crippled trainsfor hours.
Many walked the tracks to the nearest station whileothers waited for the trains to be manually driven.
Bus lineups at some stations were described on socialmedia as “insane.”
The Burnaby NOW caught up with commuters atthe shuttered Production Way-University station on theMillennium Line to ask them what they thought ofTuesday’s transit chaos.
Here’s what they had to say:
Monday commuters caught in SkyTrain chaosCornelia Naylorstaff reporter
Alex Deline
“It’s certainly very inconvenient andconsidering the problems that wehad a couple of days ago. You thinkthey’d have backups or something tomanage this sort of thing. … To seesomething like this, this can’t be ordi-nary, not for the whole system to bedown like this.”
“It’s pretty annoying because thisalready happened last week, right.It’s the second time in a week, so it’spretty annoying. The price of the tick-ets is going up, but the quality of theservice is going down. That’s unfair,right.”
Bill Huang
Shane Droucker
“It’s a little bit awkward for peoplethat are trying to get places. I myselfhad a meeting I was supposed to getto, and I wasn’t able to get to it, but,you know what? The infrastructureof transit is invaluable for any globalcity, and I think we need to back themup as much as we can. It’s probablynot an easy thing to keep going.”
“It’s kind of annoying. Now I’m notgoing to be able to get to school. Idon’t have my teacher’s number tocall her to let her know. It’s at home.Now I have to go all the way home tophone her.”
Shauna Jessop
Joe Frederick
“Something like this happened onlya few days ago, so it’s kind of annoy-ing. They only told us when we goton the bus from school to down herethat it was closed, so we had noidea how to plan ahead. Somethinglike this can really just cause a lot oftrouble and cost a lot of time.”
“I don’t really know what’s going on.I’m confused because I was going totake transit and I come here and it’sclosed. I don’t know if it’s becausethey’re constructing or not. I don’tlike it because I want to go home. Ijust got from work and I want to gohome. This sucks.”
Ana Carranza
“They should have somebody tellingpeople what is going on, right. I justsee a sign and there’s no one else totell you.”

My golden ruleof medicine isthis: Treat every
patient with the same careI would want for my bestfriends and family. I orderthe same tests, refer tothe same consultants andoffer the same treatmentoptions.
When I teach medicalstudents about hand wash-ing to prevent the spreadof infection betweenpatients, I encouragethem to consider it as an
important ritual betweenclosing an encounter withone patient and being fullypresent for another.
When health-care pro-viders are rushing frompatient to patient, not onlyare they less likely to cleantheir hands sufficiently,they are more likely to beinattentive and make mis-takes.
When we are notobservant, thoughtful andlistening, we miss out onvaluable clues, jump to thewrong diagnosis and failto really help that patient.An experienced cliniciandevelops intuition, and awise one attends to it.
If our diagnosis doesn’tquite match all the symp-toms and physical findingsor if we feel that we aremissing out on some cru-
cial information, we leavethe examination room feel-ing uneasy. If we ignorethat feeling and move onto the next patient, we maybe preoccupied and notfully present again. Thiscan have a snowball effectto the detriment of everypatient seen that day.
So I teach mindfulnessmeditation to patients,medical students, residentsand colleagues. With eachpatient’s visit, that patientmust be the centre of ourattention. We must listencarefully, ask the rightquestions and perform anappropriate and focusedphysical examination. Wemust consider a broad dif-ferential diagnosis. Whatconditions may explainthese symptoms and physi-cal findings? We don’t
settle for the most com-mon diagnosis, especiallyif it doesn’t quite fit. Weconsider less common andmore serious possibilities.
Health-care providerscan easily fall into a mind-less routine, rushing frompatient to patient, ask-ing a rapid-fire list of oftrehearsed clichéd medicalquestions, jumping to themost common diagnosis,not really seeing the personin front of them and mov-ing on to the next in line.
If you ever get the feel-ing that the doctor is rush-ing and may have jumpedto the wrong diagnosis,there are ways of trigger-ing a pause and reflection.
I recommend to friends,family members and anyof my patients who mightbe treated at another clinic
or hospital three key ques-tions.◆ What else could it be?This forces the doctor tostep back and to reconsiderthe diagnosis. Could it besomething other than theobvious that doesn’t quitefit? Do I need more infor-mation? Should I ask morequestions?◆ What is the worst thingit could be? This triggersthe doctor to considerworst-case scenarios. Oneof my patients is alivetoday because I consideredone of the rare but seri-ous possibilities for herworsening sore throat andfever. A day earlier, thenurse attending her duringthe colonoscopy told hershe probably had a cold.That night, the emergencyphysician prescribed anti-
biotics for strep throat. Irecognized the subcuta-neous emphysema – airreleased from her perforat-ed bowel that had trackedunder her skin up to herthroat. I sent her to anothersurgeon who saved her lifeby removing the injuredportion of her bowel andtreating the resulting infec-tion with IV antibiotics.◆ What would you recom-mend if I was your mother(or father)? This of courseasks the doctor to con-sider the golden rule – agentle reminder that youare someone else’s lovedone and deserve that samespecial attention and con-sideration.

Kevin Crowley ledCanada to just its third goldmedal at the InternationalLacrosse Federation worldchampionships.
The New Westminstermidfielder scored five ofCanada’s opening sixgoals, including a highlightover-the-shoulder markerand the eventual game-winning tally at 9:05 ofthe third quarter, en routeto an 8-5 victory over theUnited States inthe gold-medalfinal beforenearly 12,000partisan fans atDick’s SportingGoods Parkin CommerceCity, Coloradoon Saturday.
“ W o r l dc h a m p s ,world champs.Y e s t e r d a yafter the game,people werei n t e r v i e w i n gme. It hadn’treally sunk in, but (today)world champions soundspretty good,” said Crowleyon a long-distance callto the Bunaby NOW onSunday. “In 2010, for mein Manchester (England),I was a late addition. Butthis time around, I madesure I was prepared for it.All my preparation was forthis gold-medal game.”
It was the third worldtitle for Canada, whichalso won gold in 1978 and2006.
For the Americans, itwas a bitter defeat in frontof their hometown fans tonot win a record 10th worldchampionship title.
“It was unbelievable tosee (the U.S.) faces after thegame and to starve them ofpossession,” said Crowley.“We had like a blue col-lar mentality. We carriedour own bags to the game,unlike the Americans. … itwas really special to take itto them.”
Canada dominated theground game in the cham-pionship final, scooping up35 ground balls and main-taining possession of theball for long spells in thegame.
The Canadians led 3-1
at the half and 7-2 headinginto the final quarter.
The loss was the first inthe tournament for the U.S.squad, which beat Canada10-7 in the opening day ofthe championships.
Canada goalie DillonWard made 10 stops in thefinal and was named thetournament’s top keeperand the first keeper to everwin the overall champion-ship MVP. Ward fashioneda 63.3 save percentage atthe worlds.
Other local players– n i c k n a m e dthe “604 Boys”– included all-world teamattack CurtisDickson, witha single goal,Jordan Hall,with twoassists, andWesley Berg ofCoquitlam.
B u r n a b y ’ sMatt Brown,an assistantcoach at theUniversity ofDenver, was
an assistant coach withCanada’s national team.
“We had the best coach-ing staff in the world,”added Crowley. “Therewas something about win-ning it with our Canadianguys. And to have my fam-ily come down, it made itthat much more special. Itwas important to me.”
In other final placementgames, Jordan McBride ofNew Westminster helpedScotland to a best-eversixth-place finish, scoringfive goals in a 15-13 lossto England. McBride ledScotland with a team-best28 goals and 38 points.
Scotland teammatesKyle Buchanan, MattMacGrotty and youngerbrother Jimmy McBride,all of New West, joinedJordan on the 10-memberPresident’s team. JimmyMcBride garnered 20 goalsin tournament play, whileBuchanan had 16 assists.
Scott Janssen, also ofNew West, scored four ofhis 23 total goals for theNetherlands in a 9-6 loss toSwitzerland in a battle for15th place overall.
Tyler Buchan led all goalscorers with 35 markers forthe Chinese national team.

Larry Wright/burnaby now
The stopper: Burnaby goalie Tyler Richards, left, in a game against New Westminster, helped the senior ALakers clinch a playoff spot with back-to-back wins last weekend.
The Burnaby Lakers are in.The senior A Lakers got the goal-
keeping they needed from TylerRichards and a big weekend theywanted from Casey Jackson to earna berth in the Western LacrosseAssociation playoffs.
Jackson scored the game-win-ning goal in overtime to defeat theCoquitlam Adanacs 7-6 at the BillCopeland Sports Centre on Friday.
He then led Burnaby, with a team-high six points, to an 8-7 playoff-clinching victory over the Burrardsin Maple Ridge on Sunday.
Jackson helped spark a pivotalfour-goal second period, scoringonce and assisting on the three othertallies, including game star ScottJones’ second of the game.
Tyler Richards was on formagain, stopping 33 shots for his sixthwin of the season.
Tyler Digby got the game-winnerfrom Dane Stevens and Jackson at15:34 of the third period.
On Friday, clinching a spot in thepost season might have seemed aworld away for the Lakers.
In a game many in attendancebelieved Burnaby had no business
winning, the Lakers came on in thefinal 20 minutes to take their firstlead of the game on Jason Jones’second goal of the game at 17:40 ofthe third period.
That lead was erased by MattDelmonico a minute later, butRichards was perfect after that, stop-ping all eight Coquitlam shots in the10-minute extra time.
Jackson beat first-starAdam Shute with a highshot to the far corner on apower play at 2:33.
“It was rough out there,”admitted Jackson after thegame. “Some guys thrive onit, but eventually by the third periodthe ball started to drop for us.”
The win was an important onefor the Lakers. It put off the out-come of the season series matchupwith the Adanacs, who cannot catchBurnaby, in the team’s final homegame on Aug. 1.
New Westminster can still math-ematically catch the Lakers, butwith three games left to play andfour points back of the Lakers, theywould need a perfect scenerio inorder to use the season-series’ trumpcard over Burnaby.
Burnaby stumbled through thefirst period trailing 2-1, but did man-
age to momentarily tie the score3-3 on Jones’ first of the night on atransition tally midway through themiddle frame.
Most of the praise had to go tothe Burnaby back end for keepingCoquitlam at bay and Richards, whoturned away 39 shots in goal.
Jackson said it’s a source of pridefor the Lakers to win in their own
arena and this season hasbeen a struggle.
Friday’s victory was justthe third W in eight startsat home this year, whileSunday’s road win wasBurnaby’s sixth in seven
starts.“Maybe it got to us after a few
losses and we’re holding our stickstoo tight,” he admitted. “But whenit’s this close, losing any game isheartbreaking. … I think every gameis a must-win. We know it has play-off implications. We want to showwe can come out and dominate.”
The Lakers are on the road thisweekend and travel to VancouverIsland for a two-game set againstVictoria on Friday and Nanaimo onSaturday.
Burnaby will close out the sea-son on Aug. 1 at the Bill CopelandSports Centre against Coquitlam.
