Dispute turns violent Cops seek witnesses to shooting outside bowling alley Cayley Dobie

SILENT STATEMENT More than 60 Burnaby firefighters staged a sit-in at Monday night’s city council meeting to send a message: they want a new contract.

Firefighters stage a sit-in Cayley Dobie

More than 60 firefighters sporting bright yellow T-shirts that read “We support those who support us” marched into council chambers on Monday.

They went there to send a message to city council that enough is enough – they want a new contract now.

The City of Burnaby and the firefighters’ union have been trying to negotiate a new contract for more than a year. After a failed mediation session last February, the parties chose to meet

again for arbitration.

It took nearly six months to choose an arbitrator the city and the union could agree on, but because of the arbitrator’s busy schedule, it’s unlikely the two parties will meet for arbitration before June 2016 – a glum prospect for a union that’s been without a contract since 2011, said Rob Lamoureux, president of the International Association of Firefighters Local 323, which represents 281 firefighters in Burnaby.

“We’re the third biggest local in the province and still don’t have (a contract),” he said.

Monday’s “silent sit-in” at city

council was organized to show city council the firefighters are fed up with what Lamoureux believes is a city council and mayor who are deliberately stalling negotiations between city staff and the union.

“I think it showed our solidarity, our support. It showed our members are engaged to want to come in on their own time to do this, just to let mayor and council know it’s been 1,366 days today without a collective agreement, and counting,” Lamoureux said after Monday night’s meeting.

Councillors and staff looked surprised when the firefighters

abruptly entered council chambers just as a public meeting was getting underway. After the initial shock, however, the meeting went on as scheduled.

Mayor Derek Corrigan was away on holidays and instead, Coun. Nick Volkow led the meeting as acting mayor.

“It didn’t make a difference to me. Oh sure, it would have been great for the mayor to be there, but I think we’re very happy how things went. Our message was sent,” Lamoureux said.

Across the province, more than 30 fire departments have Continued on page 4

RCMP are turning to the public for help piecing together who was behind a violent altercation outside a bowling alley in Burnaby early Sunday morning.

Investigators believe two parties got into a fight outside REVS bowling on Lougheed Highway over a taxi cab around 1:30 a.m. on Sept.

27.The fight quickly escalated and shots were fired, injuring a 20-yearold man who was standing nearby.

“The Burnaby RCMP is extremely concerned about the violent nature of this incident. It took place in a busy parking lot outside a popular entertainment centre over what is believed to be a dispute over a taxi ride,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told reporters at a press conference on Monday.

Police wouldn’t say much about the victim, but they confirmed he was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

As for suspects, it’s believed the groups fled the scene quickly. One vehicle seen leaving the scene lost its licence plate, which police recovered. Investigators are now searching for the registered vehicle – a 2011 dark-coloured Maserati GranTurismo.

“We are also appealing to witnesses at the scene who took cellphone video to please turn that video over to the police,” Buis said.

The video footage will help investigators identify suspects, Buis added. It’s unknown at this time whether the two parties knew each Continued on page 8

The changing face of a Burnaby school Morley Elementary has seen a great deal of change in the 60 years it has served an evolving neighbourhood Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If you ask principal Hal Wall, the biggest story of Morley Elementary School’s 60-year history isn’t that Michael J. Fox was a student there.

For him, it’s the way the school has evolved to meet the needs of students in a neighbourhood that has seen dramatic change.

The school, which celebrates its 60th anniversary on Friday with a community carnival, first opened its doors in 1955 in a brandnew subdivision, full of white, middle-class families and a lot of young, BabyBoom children, according to Morley alumna Heather Crichton.

The stronger families are tied to their school, the more successful kids are.

Crichton was at the school the day it opened – going into Grade 4 in Miss Lewis’s class.

In the ’70s and ’80s, her two sons went to the school, and two of her grandchildren are students there now.

“It wasn’t as big as what it is now,” Crichton said of the school in her day. “It was probably just grades 1 to 6, and we each had a classroom.”

While the Morley grew, the demographics hadn’t changed much by the time Wall, the current principal, attended there a few decades later.

“When we first started, we were all Caucasian, as were so many schools,”Wall said.

The first Asian student he remembers seeing at the

school was in his younger brother’s class.

“It was so unusual, even though the child spoke English,”Wall said.

Today, Morley’s student population could hardly be more diverse – or more different from what it was then.

“Now, I would say, about 95 per cent of our population learns a language other than English as their first language,”Wall said.

And language isn’t the only challenge many of today’s Morley students face.

“We have a lot of refugees,”Wall said. “Last year I think we had about 60 either current or former refugees out of a population of about 135.”

Fifteen years ago, whatever the school was doing wasn’t working with this new demographic.

Morley saw about 150 suspensions a years, according to Wall.

These days, he said, there are about five.

According to Wall, things changed after former Morley principal Steve Cairns went to the district for help and started working with district counsellor Bev Ogilvie.

“She said, ‘It’s about attachment; it’s about relationships.’”Wall said, “And that is the biggest story about Morley.”

Since then, the school has focused on building relationships in the neighbourhood, and Morley’s 60th anniversary celebrations will be no exception.

“This is to build and strengthen community ties,”Wall said. “The stronger families are tied to their school, the more successful kids are.”

The approach seems to be working for at least one family that’s been tied to the school from the very beginning.

“My grandsons seem to think it’s a good school,” said Crichton.

Then and now: Two groups of Morley Elementary School Grade 1 students pose for class photos. Pictured at the top is the school’s first Grade 1 class 60 years ago. Below is Ms. Jarvis’s Grade 1 class this year. Third from the left in the back row is Lucas Crichton, whose grandmother Heather Crichton started at the school in Grade 4 on the first day it opened its doors in 1955. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

Morley’s 60th anniversary celebrations – featuring vintage photos and memorabilia from the school’s past, carnival games, concession, raffle,

dunk tank, nail booth, hair striping and a chance to meet with former students and staff – take place at the school (7355 Morley St.) from 4 to

7:30 p.m. on Oct. 2.

As for the school’s most famous alumnus – Michael J. Fox won’t be on hand in the flesh, but he has signed

some memorabilia for the school to raffle off.

‘Sometimes you have to go to counselling’ Continued from page 1 ratified new contracts, most with the annual 2.5 per cent wage increase over four years that Lamoureux wants for Burnaby, but he said the city won’t agree.

“We’re fine with the terms and wages that are out there,” he said, adding the city wants them to give up some things in exchange for the pay raise.What those “things” are, Lamoureux wouldn’t say.

But the city sees things a little differently.

Coun. Paul McDonell told the NOW prior to Monday’s meeting that much of the delay was because the firefighters’ union wouldn’t negotiate with the city. He said the union delayed bargaining, letting the contract sit in limbo.

“They waited and waited until others (locals) settled, so it was almost three years before they even came to the table,” he said. “It’s not unusual. Sometimes you get contracts settled, sometimes you don’t, and if you can’t, then there’s a way under the labour code that you can have it settled.”

When asked about the allegation that city council and the mayor are purposely delaying the negotiations, McDonell said they’re “totally false.”

“Bargaining is a two-way street, and we’ve reached an impasse, and they went to mediation, and the mediator was unable to break the deadlock and suggested we go to arbitration,” he added.

While neither party would

There’s tough days at work with the morale

say what the sticking points are, McDonell said the city is open to an eight-year contract to catch up.

But until a contract is arbitrated, firefighters continue to work in limbo, which has left many feeling frustrated and disappointed, Lamoureux said.

“I’ll be honest.There’s tough days at work with the morale, and I think they’re feeling like they’re kind of

underappreciated, and they really just can’t understand why our employer, our city, our mayor and council in particular, don’t think that we’re worth what other departments are worth, and they want us to accept less, work for less to be a Burnaby firefighter, which we think is unacceptable,” he added.

Both parties will now have to agree on the dates for arbitration, which is quickly becoming another contentious issue for the city and union.

Lamoureux said the union thinks only one day is necessary, considering how long it took other locals at the arbitration table.

But Lambert Chu, the deputy city manager and liaison for the Burnaby Fire Department, said the city wants to err on the side of caution and book two days, just in case the arbitration runs long.

In the meantime, Chu said, the city is open to being put on a cancellation list in case any other dates become available before next summer.

When firefighters and the city finally do come together with the arbitrator, the decision will be binding.

“It’s just a process you go through. Sometimes it’s like marriage.You agree when you have a dispute and

sometimes you have to go to counselling,” McDonell said.

Hastings Street’s dual purpose as a ‘highway’ and a shopping district causes troubles for the neighbourhood, according to new study Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Hastings Street has the feel of a highway, running through Burnaby’s most pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood, the Heights.

The two different functions – a major thoroughfare with buses, trucks and commuters rushing in and out ofVancouver, alongside a walkable shopping district – make Hastings Street in Burnaby a conflicted area, according to a study released by Slow Streets.

The study, conducted by theVancouver-based urban design and planning group, suggests some solutions for the neighbourhood that is at odds with itself.

“Burnaby Heights itself features a lot of the great elements of a very good retailoriented streetscape,” Samuel Baron, one of the study’s authors, told the NOW. “But we knew that this possibility and the quality of that retail and street-oriented space was undermined by the fact that over 30,000 vehicles travel through that area per day. It’s essentially trying to do two things at once.”

The study pointed to the HOV lanes during peak hours as a particular issue, with noise reaching 78dB (equivalent to garbage disposal) on the south side when parking is removed and the HOV lane is in use.

The study offered potential solutions to managing issues such as noise levels, proximity to moving vehicles, and the amount of traffic in the area.

Managing parking on and around Hastings Street was

one suggestion, particularly making sure parking is wellmarked, the study stated.

Lowering the speed limit to 30 kilometres per hour instead of 50, as well as creating thinner traffic lanes, would reduce noise and create more space for the sidewalk and patio areas along Hastings Street, the study added.Traffic calming measures would need to be introduced in the neighbourhood to prevent rat running.

Maximizing side streets was another suggestion, with some side streets as pedestrian-only zones, with retail and outdoor space.

The key is, how do you get there?

In the short term, the opening of the Evergreen SkyTrain line may reduce some of the traffic that uses Hastings Street as an EastWest connector, according to Baron.

Baron and his co-authors – Terry Sidhu, Darren Proulx and Simon Jay – come from different backgrounds but all met through Simon Fraser University’s urban planning master’s program.They launched Slow Streets a year ago, Baron said.

The Heights Merchants’ Association contacted SFU’s urban studies program last year, looking for a student to do some observational research of sidewalk use, according to the association’s executive director, Isabel Kolic.The student was

involved with Slow Streets.

Overall, Kolic said the study was very comprehensive.

Kolic plans to present it to the association’s board.

“I think for the most part, it’s harmonious with the feedback we get from merchants and from shoppers,” she added.

However, it could be some time before any of the suggestions are implemented by the city, if the city chooses to do so.

While the study’s observations are correct, any potential solutions will not be easy ones, according to Doug Louie, Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering, transportation services.

“I think some of the observations that Slow Streets made regarding how one might try to improve the pedestrian environment along Hastings Street is valid,” he said. “I mean, they’re good observations.The key is, how do you get there?”

There are many different uses for Hastings Street and each one must be considered, Louie added, pointing out it is part of the major road network, it’s a truck route, and it’s a busy transit route.

“Whatever we do, let’s say to widen sidewalks or remove cars, there’s going to be major impacts,” he said.

“And of course we need to review that.”

The current balance, whether people feel it is weighted too heavily for cars or pedestrians, has not been easy to achieve, Louie said, mentioning the traffic-calming efforts brought to the neighbourhood a few years ago, which were intensely

debated.

“Consultation would need to take place, and it’s not going to be an easy consultation,” he said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Have we forgotten about the planet?

There we all are, staring raptly into the heavens, transfixed by the supermoon-lunar eclipse, and voraciously reading the latest news about the discovery of water on Mars.

Meanwhile, down here on Earth, our planet is falling to pieces around us and nobody seems to care in the slightest.

Here on our part of Earth, we’re in the middle of a federal election campaign.Which you’d figure

would be a great time to be talking about the environment.

Sadly, that doesn’t seem to be happening.

Conversations about the stuff that should matter – like, for starters, clean air, clean water, green energy, and how we can create a workable economy that’s also sustainable for the planet – seem to be taking a backseat to things that really shouldn’t matter quite as much.

Not to suggest that terrorism isn’t worthy of a second thought, but let’s get serious:Which is the bigger threat to life as we know it – ISIS, or the very existence of our planet?

Yes, we need to talk about national security, about foreign policy, about job creation, about child care, about seniors’ pensions, about taxes, and on, and on, and on. But it’s sad that we’ve made it this far into an election campaign with-

out any significant environmental debate taking place front and centre.

The sidelining of Green Party leader Elizabeth May is a big part of the reason, of course.When May is given a chance to speak (or makes her own chance, as she’s been forced to do when she’s left out of the big show), she’s an excellent spokesperson for our planet. And she has proven herself to be far more than just a one-trick pony: she under-

stands how to put the environment into the context of all of those other issues involved in running a nation.

Unfortunately, however, she’s fighting against the head-in-the-sand mentality that seems to be preferred by most of us when dealing with environmental issues.

Mind you, May has some big guns on her side: no less a personage than Pope Francis has been championing the environment, going so far as to tell the United

Nations that the environment has the same rights as humanity itself.

Here’s hoping that they can get the rest of the world’s leaders to start listening to them.

And us? We need to force our leaders to care by making the environment our top priority, starting now.

It’s great to stare at the stars. But let’s not look at them so long that we forget to clean up the gutter we’re living in.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

It’s not easy being Green For a party that has relatively little public support, the Green Party is showing once again it can get a disproportionately large number of people angry about its very existence.

Many supporters of other political parties want the Greens to go away, not because of their policy platform but because their existence may pose a threat to accomplishing their main goal: defeating Stephen Harper and the Conservatives. However, more than a half million people voted for the Green Party in 2011, with almost 150,000 of them coming from B.C. To tell that many people that their vote is “wasted” on the party they believe in and should instead be conferred on a party they may want nothing to do with no doubt strikes many folks as offensive.

There’s no question the Green Party also wants Harper defeated. But it is also trying to build itself as a political party that has more to offer than a single MP, and that kind of building takes time.To take a pass on a federal election – and that, basically, is what many federal Liberals and in particular New Democrats are asking it to do – would be political suicide for a fledgling party.

Frankly, I think the Greens will be lucky to elect one or two MPs on Oct. 19.

Its leader, Elizabeth May, has to be considered the favourite to hang onto her

seat in Saanich-Gulf Islands while its candidate inVictoria (Joanne Roberts) appears to have significant support as well in a riding currently held by the NDP. The party would appear to have little chance of winning anywhere else, but so what? Since when is political legitimacy conferred only on those with a perceived chance of victory?

It could very well be true the Green voter actually determines the outcome of a number of riding races in B.C., although there’s not a lot of science to back up that assertion in every case.

While overall their popularity may be spread rather thinly across the province, the party does enjoy significant support in pockets of B.C. and in certain ridings.

And if the Conservatives win in those areas while the Greens also put some significant numbers, get ready to hear howls of outrage from NDP or Liberal quarters.

Some will view the Green vote as a “spoiler” that may allow the Conservatives to win tight races. Others will see the Green vote, if it increases, as a sign that a new political party is growing in strength.

Both may be legitimate arguments. But to suggest the Greens should “get out of the way” to ensure another political party doesn’t win is arrogant, and misses a key and important aspect of democracy.

Don’t write off firstpast-the-post just yet

Why Harper may still win: Readers respond to Baldrey column

Dear Editor Re: Time to fix our broken system, In my opinion, Sept. 25.

Julie MacLellan believes that adopting a different voting system than our existing first past the post system, which she calls tired and old, would be a boon to the country and give all Canadians more voice in the direction of our country.

There is, it seems to me, an increasing call for change, but I would disagree. Ms. MacLellan says that “the vast majority of Western democracies use some form of proportional representation.”

I don’t know who Canada is a the vast much better majority of Western nation than democracies most Western are, but I democracies. assume they are somewhere in Europe. If we want leadership like that of Europe, then I pity future Canadians.

Canada is a much better nation right now than most Western democracies, especially those in Europe.

I think that is the best argument against a change to a more European style of democracy with single transferrable votes or some such thing and governance by coalitions of special interest parties that make deals to grant themselves favours.

We need individuals that want the best for the country voting in our federal elections, not special interests voting for handouts and privileges from the government for themselves.

There are a few problems with a universal democracy, but a first-past-the-post voting system is not one of them.

Frank Zeleniuk, Burnaby

‘Old-stock’ Canadian is voting Green Dear Editor I am an “old stock” Canadian. The last name is spelt with a small “d” for a reason.

No, not John A. Macdonald but his cousinbrother, J. Sandfield Macdonald, the first premier of Ontario. The distaff side goes back even further and is one of the oldest families in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

Both sides feature what would have been “pure laine” French Canadians except for early mingling of that “stock” with First Nations blood.

So what do I think of the plight of present day refugees? Given that my ancestors came here to escape oppression, religious and political, I’m for welcoming them. My ancestors also came here as “economic migrants,” just looking for better lives, and that’s one of many reasons I’m pro-immigration generally.

And who do I think best represents my principles when it comes to immigration and refugee matters? Why, the Green Party of Canada, of course. One of their core principles is “social justice,” and that requires universal application. As an “old stock” Canadian there’s not much in the mean-spirited policies of the Conservative Party of Canada that I agree with.

I want my Canada back, and I’ll vote Green.

Burnaby man arrested in Justice Institute attacks Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

A 54-year-old Burnaby man is one of two men recently arrested for their alleged role in a series of attacks against students and staff of the Justice Institute of B.C. several years ago.

The four-year-long investigation focused on targeted attacks against 15 victims connected to the Justice Institute of B.C. Police allege the suspects shot at and set fire to homes, vehicles or property owned by the victims between April 2011 and January 2012.

Four of the 23 incidents were in Burnaby, according to a media release from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

“In July 2011, a threatening email was received by the (Justice Institute).The email referenced nine individuals. All but one of those individuals had their homes or vehicles targeted in the preceding months,” stated the media release.

Through the investigation, which involved police departments from all over the Lower Mainland, police determined an ICBC employee had searched the licence plate numbers for all 15 victims, providing them with each individual’s personal information, according to the release.

The investigation caught

a break in January 2012 with the identification of the person police believed had orchestrated the arsons and shootings after three suspects in one of the arsons were identified and further investigated.

For more than two years, no new attacks were reported.

And then, between Dec. 31, 2014 and Jan. 13, 2015, several of the original victims received “suspicious letters in the mail. One of the letters contained a warning that attacks would resume in the new year,” according to the release.

The investigation was renewed, and earlier this month, police secured charges against two men.

Burnaby resident Thurman Ronley Taffe and Langley resident Vincent Eric Gia-Hwa Cheung, 40, were arrested on Sept. 18.

Taffe is charged with one count of intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to a home.

Cheung is facing 23 charges, including intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to a vehicle; intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to a home; intentionally discharging a firearm into or at a vehicle; intentionally discharging a firearm into or at a place knowing that or be-

ing reckless as to whether another person is present in that dwelling; intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to a trailer; and intentionally or recklessly causing damage by fire or explosion to property within a residence.

Both men remain in custody at this time.

Arts Club on Tour returns to Shadbolt “Five teens come of age in 1957 Vancouver while a young disc jockey named Red Robinson plays the biggest hits of the time.”

If you recognize the musical by that plot description, then you’ll want to be sure to get your tickets now for the Arts Club Theatre Company’s touring production of Red Rock Diner.

The show is coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts as part of the Arts Club’s B.C. tour, which opens Oct. 14.The Burnaby shows are set for Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 9 and 10.

“Dean Regan’s Red Rock Diner, inspired by disc jockey Red Robinson, has been one of our most successful musical revues since

its 1998 debut,” said Bill Millerd, artistic managing director of the Arts Club, in a press release. “For our 50th anniversary in 2014, we mounted a new production directed and choreographed by longtime associate Valerie Easton. An instant hit, our tour partners unanimously agreed it would be an ideal show for their venues.”

This touring production will take to stages around Metro Vancouver, plus the Interior and Vancouver Island.

The show follows the early rock’n’roll years in Vancouver courtesy of Robinson – who was a 16-year-old high school student when he began his legendary

broadcasting career at radio station CJOR. He was one of the first DJs to play such stars as Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly on regular rotation in Canada.

Jesse Martyn stars as Red Robinson in a cast that includes a slew of familiar musical theatre talents:Tafari Anthony, Mat Baker,Todd Biffard, Steven Greenfield, Anna Kuman, Scott Perrie, Sayer Roberts, Robyn Wallis, Daniel James White and Brett Ziegler.

Check out www.artsclub. com for more about the show.To buy tickets for the Burnaby show, call the Shadbolt Centre box office at 604-205-3000 or see tickets.shadboltcentre.com.

CHECK OUT THE VIEW FROM THE WATER’S EDGE The Deer Lake Gallery has launched a new season – and art lovers should hurry on over to check out the latest offering,Water’s Edge.

The group exhibition includes work by John Haig, Peter Gutmanis and Roderick Brown, and it opened over the weekend as part of Culture Days celebrations in the city.

A press release notes that all three artists “engage the ocean’s edge, where human industry and marine life collide.”

For Haig, that’s through

paintings that record West Coast lifestyles through stylized landscapes. For Gutmanis, it’s watercolour abstractions based on photographs of coastal scenes.

For Brown, it’s carving and engraving fish that become “monuments to materials, myths, sustenance, destruction and industry.”

Check out www.burnaby artscouncil.org for more on the exhibition, or drop in to Deer Lake Gallery to check it out for yourself.

The gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is open Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4 p.m., with free admission.

The exhibition is underway until Oct. 17, so be sure to stop in soon to check it out. And if you’ve already visited, what did you think?

Back in time: Jay Sherwood found inspiration for his new book in his own family’s history.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Drop me a line to let me know.

FAMILY STORY UNFOLDS A Burnaby author is ex-

ploring his own family’s history in a new book.

Jay Sherwood, a retired teacher-librarian, was looking into a family history project for his mother’s 90th birthday when he stumbled upon a story that intrigued him more: the life of his grandmother, Ruth Bowers.

A press release notes that, at a time when traditional women’s careers were nursing and teaching, Bowers hit the road as part of the “chautauqua” educational circuit in the U.S. Chautauqua tours, in the first part of the 20th century, brought music, education and entertainment to people around the country – and, for women like Bowers, opened up unheard-of independence in a time when women didn’t

even have the right to vote.

Sherwood was able to use postcards, photographs and memorabilia from Bowers’ collection, as well as letters she sent home, together with research files from the University of Iowa to piece together her life against the backdrop of a unique time in history.

Chautauqua Serenade:Violinist Ruth Bowers on Tour, 1910 to 1912, is being published by Caitlin Press Inc. Check out the website at www.caitlin-press.com for more about the book.

Listen to your body R

e!red professional athletes o"en speak about the di#cult moment when they knew it was !me to re!re from professional compe!!on.

The transi!on can be easy for some but far more di#cult for others. But aging amateur athletes know you need not be a professional to realize there comes a !me when your body is telling you it’s !me to ease up.

Recognize your new recovery !me. Veteran athletes tend to have a sixth sense about their bodies, knowing how long they need to recover from common ailments like ankle sprains, knee pain, back pain and shin splints. Despite the body’s remarkable ability for recovery, it’s not immune to aging, and recovery !me will increase as the body ages.

Take more !me to warm

up. As the body ages, its response !me to exercise increases. This means the body needs more !me to prepare itself for cardiovascular and strength training exercises.

Focus on >exibility: The more Oexible you are, the more capable the body is of absorbing shock, including the shock that results from repe!!ve ac!vi!es. But as the body ages, it becomes less Oexible, which makes it less capable of successfully handling the repe!!ve movements common to exercise. Aging athletes should focus on their Oexibility, stretching their muscles before and a"er a workout.

Don’t stop strength training.

Some aging athletes mistakenly feel they should stop strength training as they get older.

The body gradually loses muscle mass as it ages and

that loss puts the joints under greater stress when performing other exercises. That stress can put people at greater risk for arthri!s, tendini!s and ligament sprains. While you no longer need to max out on the bench press or challenge yourself on the biceps curl, it is important to con!nue to make strength training a part of your Mtness regimen as you age.

Recognizing your limita!ons and the changes your body is going through is an important element of staying healthy.

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. !For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. !Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. !At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement.

Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again.

White Spot launches The Spot’s new 50/50™ patty with a new burger lineup!

At White Spot, we’re famous for our award-winning burgers, and now, there’s even more to be famous for! Introducing The Spot’s 50/50™ patty, a 1/3-pound patty that combines the best of both worlds – Canadian beef & premium double-smoked bacon! This proprietary new patty is available for a limited time with our new 50/50 burger lineup. These new mouth-watering creations feature toppings that include savoury bacon jam, peanut butter and fresh pineapple. And of course, all of our burgers are served with creamy coleslaw and ‘endless’ signature Kennebec fries.

Our new Burger Menu includes: • Hawaiian 50/50 Burger – Blow the house down with this triple bacon burger! Candied bacon, savoury bacon jam, tangy fresh pineapple, lettuce & red onion.

• PBBJ 50/50 Burger – Give your taste-buds a flavourful experience with crunchy peanut butter, savoury bacon jam, pickled jalapeños, lettuce & tomato.

• Classic Diner 50/50 Burger – Enjoy a new twist on a classic diner favourite with caramelized onions, cheese & Dijon mayo.

“We wanted to have fun with our burgers – and this time, it starts with a new patty,” said White Spot Executive Chef Danny Markowicz. “The flavour combination of beef and double-smoked bacon – two Canadian favourites – in one delicious patty is an experience not to be missed!” To complement the 50/50 burger launch, White Spot Executive Chef Danny Markowicz has teamed up with Granville Island Brewing to create the new Spot On Copper Ale – our first, small batch beer. With limited availability, this exclusive beer is only available at select White Spot Restaurants. Specially brewed with caramel malts to complement the 50/50 burger lineup’s meaty flavour profile, the Spot On Copper Ale balances spice notes with a mild fruity character.

“It was fun working with Danny to craft a distinctive beer that complements their new 50/50 menu”, said Kevin Emms, Granville Island Brewing’s Brewmaster. “We’re excited to showcase this perfect pairing to White Spot guests.”

As this new menu is only available until October 11th, we invite you to try our new 50/50 Burgers before they’re gone!
