Sale of MetroVan offices paves the way for potential development

The future of the Metrotown neighbourhood remains in flux.

Metro Vancouver Regional District announced last week it was selling its Burnaby offices at 4330 Kingsway and 5945 Kathleen Ave. in anticipation of its move to a new home – the Metrotower III, located a few blocks away.

It’s still too early to say how much the properties will be listed for, according to CBRE Canada vicechairman Tony Quattrin, who is handling the sale on behalf of Metro Vancouver.

“We’re just kind of out there in the awareness stage right now, just making people aware of the opportunity,” Quattrin said, adding that once his firm sees how the market is responding, he’ll have a better idea of how much the properties will go for.

According to B.C. Assessment, the properties at 4330 Kingsway and 5945 Kathleen Ave. have a combined assessed value of $87,708,000.

Quattrin said potential buyers have a few different options to consider for the site following the City of Burnaby’s approval of the new Metrotown Downtown Plan last month.

“You can buy it just as a straight development site because it’s just recently been up-zoned to the highest density zoning as part of the Metrotown plan, or you could retain Continued on page 10

This year’s Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival was a more intimate affair this past Saturday, after being scaled back to two stages and nine bands, and focusing on mostly Canadian performers.

While the festival was smaller in size, loyal music lovers who had been coming for years still showed up to enjoy the day-long festival at Deer Lake Park.

Anna and Richard Koett have attended the festival for about a decade, coming every year after first receiving tickets as a gift.

“We like the blues, and we like the venue,” Richard said.

The couple has discovered performers who resonate with them, such as Lindi Ortega, and has gone MORE BLUES on to see them at other Festival in photos: See photo coverage venues.

The festival is a great valon page 3. ue, Anna said, adding she What you said: wished there was a better See page 3 for the turnout and more apprecichatter on Twitter. ation for the local event.

“It’s a shame there’s not more people,” she said. “More people need to come.”

What the festival lacked in size, it made up for in energy, particularly the energy of the nine musical acts performing.

But it wasn’t just performers and concertgoers who were passionate about the music – there were others at the event, determined to keep the blues alive.

The Canadian Pacific Blues Society was located at the Blues Market tent, filling people in on its upcoming blues shows.

Ron Simmonds, who was a longtime blues promoter and talent buyer for venues like theYale in Vancouver, said it’s an uphill battle to get people out to blues shows these days.

“It’s certainly not going to be like it was 20 years ago, or five years ago,” he said. “We have to get people off the couch.”

Many of the society’s shows are in the fall and spring, as many performers are doing the festival circuit in the summer, he added.

Blues Fest wows crowd

Continued from page 1 even with the roots and folk performers.

Leeroy Stagger is a B.C.born singer and songwriter whose sound is more roots rock and alternative country. But he captivated the crowd with a harrowing story about his brother, very much in the spirit of the blues.

Stagger’s younger brother was in an accident in a taxi on Gorge Road in Victoria, according to Stagger, and was in a coma. Stagger went to visit him, but his brother remained unconscious for days.

“I put my hand on his forehead, and my brother furrowed his brow,” Stagger told the audience, “as if to say, ‘brother, get your hand off my forehead.’”

Afterward, his brother regained consciousness and has since recovered, Stagger said before launching into Little Brother, a song about the experience.

Stagger included family onstage as well, bringing his five-year-old son Guthrie up for his debut performance.

Guthrie proudly wielded his cardboard guitar, made at the craft table at the Blues family area of the festival.

This year, B.C. performers such as Stagger made up the majority of the festival, which began with Mohawk piano player and singer Murray Porter on the Main Stage.

The Juno Award winner from North Vancouver did not disappoint, sharing the stage with his very talented backup band. His bluesy, country style was the perfect kickoff for the event.

Vancouverite Kaya Kurz, a jazz studies student at Capilano University, sang an eclectic mix of songs on

the Garden Stage. She ended with one about her ex, saying it felt right for a blues festival.

Jesse Roper, travelling over from Victoria, was a whirlwind of blues-infused rock and funk on the Main Stage, while Vancouver’s own Jesse Waldman followed up with a mellower folk set on the Garden Stage.

Little Miss Higgins returned to the festival with her special blend of old country blues, performing with members of her backup band,The Winnipeg Five.

After that, things moved over to the Main Stage, with Canadian blues singer and guitarist Sue Foley.The award-winning performer brought her signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster to life as she played and sang numbers like Gaslight, a fan favourite that will be included on her upcoming solo album.

New Brunswick’s Matt Andersen hit the stage next, joking with the audience and sharing stories about life on the road, as his guitar needed a quick repair.

The East Coast powerhouse

soon showed he was capable of much more than joking around, though, as he belted out the blues with energy and depth.

As dusk descended on Deer Lake, the final act, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, took to the stage.

Troy Andrews, who performs as Trombone Shorty, took concertgoers on a journey to New Orleans. He led them there with his trombone, with his voice, and with his extremely talented band.

The crowd near the front of the stage grew along with the music, as Andrews engaged the audience with hits like Here Come the Girls from his new album Parking Lot Symphony.

Though some of the audience began to head home during the final performance, many others went down toward the stage to dance and enjoy the music.

At one point in the evening, Andrews led his horn players in a piece that sounded like the cascading effects of fireworks – a brilliant send-off for the festival.

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Lifelong Burnaby resident Fred Unger loved the shady playground beside his fouryear-old son’s preschool next to Parkcrest Elementary in North Burnaby.

Besides providing a nice place for his son to play, it included a bench under the trees where his 75-year-old mom could sit.

Last week, however, Unger arrived to find two large shade trees cut down and the playground laid bare to the blazing sun.

“It’s shocking,” he told the NOW. “All the shade is gone; the kids are now in full sun. It just seems like an insane decision to me.Who makes decisions like that?”

The trees, two mature Liriodendron or tulip trees, were taken down by the city

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Here’s why you don’t need Straight Pride

Every year at this time, as Pride celebrations are happening across the country, it seems some wag feels compelled to post a wannabeclever meme on social media about “Straight Pride.”

You know, memes of the “Why do they get Gay Pride Parades?We don’t get to have Straight Pride Parades” variety.

With our neighbours across 10th Avenue holding their NewWest Pride street party this Saturday, it seems

a good time to remind people why that whole Straight Pride idea is somewhat misguided.

By which we mean: just plain stupid.

You don’t need Straight Pride Day because that’s every single damn day of every single week of every single month of every single year.

You don’t need Straight Pride Day because you didn’t spend your youth wondering whether it was safe to “come out” as

straight. Even here in our (largely) accepting and inclusive part of the world, it’s still not that easy for many LGBTQ folks. Does anyone else remember what a big deal it was when Burnaby’s own Svend Robinson became the first openly gay member of Parliament? Fun fact: He came out in 1988.

That’s less than 30 years ago.

You don’t need Straight Pride Day because nobody ever tried to stop you from

marrying a person of the opposite gender. Fun fact: Same-sex marriage wasn’t enshrined in Canadian law until 2005 – and that still makes this country a world leader.

You don’t need Straight Pride Day because you can’t be jailed or put to death for being straight. Fun fact: If you’re gay, there are around 75 countries on the planet where having a same-sex relationship is against the law – including 10 where

it’s punishable by death. In fact, even here in progressive Canada, homosexuality wasn’t decriminalized until 1969.That’s less than 50 years ago.

So no, you don’t need Straight Pride Day. And if you’re tempted to sound off about the issue or post some “clever” meme on social media, we suggest two courses of action.

1. Zip it. Shut up and listen to the stories of your LGBTQ neighbours,

friends and colleagues, and try to comprehend what “Pride” might mean to you and your loved ones if you weren’t sitting in your privileged straight-person’s chair.

2. Pull out your best rainbow attire and get yourself down to the NewWest Pride street party (Aug. 19, 3 to 8 p.m. on Columbia Street) to show solidarity.

If you still think you need Straight Pride Day, then see No. 1 – and repeat until the concept is clear.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Liberals need to shake things up

The B.C. Liberal Party is still trying to pick itself up off the floor in the wake of a bizarre election loss and the unexpected and sudden departure of its leader.

Some prominent members of the party tell me they fear the so-called “free enterprise coalition” could very easily break apart if everyone’s not careful.

The looming party leadership race could assist in keeping the coalition together, but it could also accelerate its collapse.The contest will no doubt see both liberal and conservative candidates, and the tensions that exist between them will be put on public display.

So why doesn’t the party try something different when it comes to choosing its next leader? I’m referring to returning to the days of a “delegated” leadership convention, where delegates from each of the 87 ridings gather for a few days in the same location and fight it out on the convention floor, voting as many ballots as it takes to elect a successor to Christy Clark.

As of this column’s writing, the party executive had not chosen the rules that will govern the leadership race, and it may well stay with the status quo when it comes to picking a leader.

If the executive sticks to the more modern method of using personal PIN numbers that come from mass sign-up of members, the party will lose a chance to reinvigorate itself.The mass sign-up method is wide open to abuse and cheating. In fact, the leadership wins by both Clark and for-

mer NDP leader Adrian Dix were the subject of accusations (largely kept quiet by both parties) that not all was right when it came to sign-ups and PINs. The PIN process lacks drama, energy and, most importantly, transparency.

People sit at home, dialing in their choice. No one has to talk to any other party member, and only a handful of party activists actually take the time to gather in one place and try to create some excitement. The sign-up process largely takes place in South Asian temples, a tried-and-true method of getting signatures. But there is little evidence people who sign up during this process remain party members very long or become active in the party.

Contrast all those negatives with the electrifying buzz that can come from a delegated convention: hundreds of people (all of them required to show considerable commitment to the party in order to become a delegate in the first place) on the convention floor, with the candidates occupying their own sections in the stands.

I have covered several of them – the 1983 win by Brian Mulroney, the 1984 NDP convention that chose Bob Skelly on five ballots, and the huge 1986 Social Credit race won by Bill Vander Zalm – and all were grand events.

We’ll see if the B.C. Liberals reach into the past to shape their future, and in so doing perhaps hold their party together.

Guns out at Lougheed mall Shoppers and employees alike were shocked to see men making their way through Lougheed mall with guns drawn in January.The armed pursuit ended in the dramatic arrest of an armed robbery suspect wanted by Vancouver police. It took several officers to hold the man down, according to Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Eastman, who said the suspect was known to be armed.

“We don’t routinely run through malls with our weapons drawn,” he said. “A situation must warrant it before anyone would draw a firearm.”

PUBLIC NOTICE: Site C Inquiry Initiated

Pipeline is going to cost us no matter what we do Dear Editor: This is going to cost us, make no mistake on that. No matter what we do we’ll end up paying. Part of the question is, ‘What’s it worth?’ Thanks to the B.C. and federal Liberals we’re on a path to having the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

The 40.36 per cent of B.C. voters who supported the B.C. Liberals in the last election likely believe B.C. will get jobs and tax revenue, while Alberta, in particular, and the country as a whole will enjoy income from the sale of tar sands to Asian markets. These people are prepared to risk a near unimaginable cost if a pipeline breaks, there’s a fire, or a tanker spills part or all of its load. They are also prepared to accept the measurable cost in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and resultant climate change.

The 57.12 per cent of people who voted for the B.C. Green Party or the B.C. NDP are unwilling to accept those certain and possible costs. They would rather pay the legal costs, including the likely payout to Kinder Morgan, to stop the project. They’d rather pay this than risk paving the bottom of the Salish Sea. They’d rather pay this than risk a fire or spill and the possible loss of property and life. Most of all they understand that the cost of saying ‘no’ to this project is worth it in the fight against humaninduced climate change. These people feel they must pay up now to help minimize the costs our

children and grandchildren will already have to bear.

Thanks to the B.C. and federal Liberals, we’re all on the hook for some kind of hefty bill.

NEB process is broken, Canadians deserve better

Dear Editor: Story after story characterizes Trans Mountain expansion approval as based on facts and evidence. However, the source of these appears to be a 2016 National Energy Board recommendation.

In May of this year, an expert panel convened

by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirmed Canada’s loss of confidence in the National Energy Board (NEB). The ECCCconvened panel’s 2017 report recommends a new joint process with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency for environmental assessment review.

When I see Kinder Morgan submit as evidence a study of diluted bitumen in which no conclusion could be drawn because the researcher forgot to bring a ruler large enough to measure the contents of a five-gallon container, I am forced to conclude the NEB review process is indeed broken. Project submissions should be free of such silliness and Kinder Morgan’s project should receive no special favour.

Our government ought to subject Trans Mountain expansion to a joint review deserving of Canadians’ confidence.

City now ‘I want nice trees back in there’ Continued from page 5 the new stuff would be unusable.”

Ellenwood said school district officials had told the city the sap was causing problems, like kids sticking to the slide.

But Unger wasn’t satisfied with that explanation or the level of consultation with his son’s preschool, Parkcrest Children’s Centre, about the removal of the trees.

“I go to that park all the time with my son, and I spoke to the director of the preschool who’s worked there for 11 years. Sap – we don’t even know what they’re talking about,” he said. “What? Do their hands get sticky? This is a dumb explanation. … I’m annoyed and I want nice trees back in there.”

The trees will be replaced, according to Ellenwood, but not until fall and the end of the hot, dry weather.

“We’re not going to plant them now because they’ll die,” he said.

The city will replace the two mature trees with four new trees of a “more appropriate species” – probably fast-growing maples – according to the parks director.

Maples are more resilient to aphid infestation, he said, and better able to withstand the kind of hot tem-

peratures the Lower Mainland has seen in the last few weeks.

“It’s unfortunate at this time of the year when it has the most impact – you want shade – but these trees were not the appropriate species, and they caused a problem, and I think the two-to-one replacement ratio is something that’s responsible to do,” Ellenwood said.

What’s that sticky stuff anyway?

“They’re backpacks full of water and there are pumps on the bottom of them to spray on areas where there’s fire,” Summers said. “It’s just to get into areas that we can’t reach with our hoses, any rough terrain.”

The fire department notifies the Coastal Fire Centre of any wildland fire bigger than 400 square feet, according to the assistant fire chief.

He said the blaze Friday was a Rank 1 wildfire, described as a smouldering ground fire.

Had it escalated to a Rank 2 or 3 blaze, with flames showing and starting to ignite the bottoms of trees, the department would

The Burnaby Fire Department is reminding residents not to smoke or cook in any of Burnaby’s tinder-dry parks after a 1,000-square-foot duff fire in the middle of Central Park last week.

Firefighters were called to the middle of the park at about 7:15 a.m. on Aug. 11.

Upon arrival, they found about 1,000 square feet of the forest floor smouldering with lots of smoke but no flames showing.

“It was right in the middle of the trees,” assistant fire Chief Gavin Summers told the NOW. “It could have been very very bad.”

Five trucks responded, and 15 firefighters worked

have called Coastal Fire for help.

That happened a few years ago, Summers said, when aircraft were called in to drop water on a serious wildfire on Burnaby Mountain. The fire department doesn’t want to see that happen again.

“There’s an extreme fire risk in the parks right now,” Summers said. “We just

want to remind people that there can be no cooking of any kind in the park and no smoking at all right now.”

The cause of Friday’s fire is still under investigation, according to the assistant chief.

He wouldn’t speculate on whether it may have been sparked by homeless people, who are known to camp in the park.

Warning: Signs at Central Park remind visitors not to smoke on the park’s extensive trail system. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

DENTURE WEARERS!

Dear Editor: This is going to cost us, make no mistake on that. No matter what we do we’ll end up paying. Part of the question is, ‘What’s it worth?’ Thanks to the B.C. and federal Liberals we’re on a path to having the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

The 40.36 per cent of B.C. voters who supported the B.C. Liberals in the last election likely believe B.C. will get jobs and tax revenue, while Alberta, in particular, and the country as a whole will enjoy income from the sale of tar sands to Asian markets. These people are prepared to risk a near unimaginable cost if a pipeline breaks, there’s a fire, or a tanker spills part or all of its load. They are also prepared to accept the measurable cost in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and resultant climate change.

The 57.12 per cent of people who voted for the B.C. Green Party or the B.C. NDP are unwilling to accept those certain and possible costs. They would rather pay the legal costs, including the likely payout to Kinder Morgan, to stop the project. They’d rather pay this than risk paving the bottom of the Salish Sea. They’d rather pay this than risk a fire or spill and the possible loss of property and life. Most of all they understand that the cost of saying ‘no’ to this project is worth it in the fight against humaninduced climate change. These people feel they must pay up now to help minimize the costs our

children and grandchildren will already have to bear.

Thanks to the B.C. and federal Liberals, we’re all on the hook for some kind of hefty bill.

David W.G. Macdonald, Burnaby

NEB process is broken, Canadians deserve better

Dear Editor: Story after story characterizes Trans Mountain expansion approval as based on facts and evidence. However, the source of these appears to be a 2016 National Energy Board recommendation.

In May of this year, an expert panel convened

by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirmed Canada’s loss of confidence in the National Energy Board (NEB). The ECCCconvened panel’s 2017 report recommends a new joint process with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency for environmental assessment review.

When I see Kinder Morgan submit as evidence a study of diluted bitumen in which no conclusion could be drawn because the researcher forgot to bring a ruler large enough to measure the contents of a five-gallon container, I am forced to conclude the NEB review process is indeed broken. Project submissions should be free of such silliness and Kinder Morgan’s project should receive no special favour.

Our government ought to subject Trans Mountain expansion to a joint review deserving of Canadians’ confidence.

Heights Happenings!

Cravings in the Heights

No matter how many bucket list items I accomplish during the summer, as soon as the calendar flips to August, I always think, where has the time gone? Luckily this year, my summer “to do” list can be completed right here in The Heights with a restaurant dining event that makes the most of the last month of summer.

Discovering new foods, drinks, and treats with family and friends is one of my favourite summer activities and to help me do just that is Crave. From August 16 to 30, The Heights features Crave, a dining showcase sponsored by the Burnaby Now and Miss The Kitchen Sink from the Gray Olive Cafeteria.

604 where participating restaurants offer Soda Fountain and Confectionary where new food specials, happy hour discounts, “It’s Always Happy Hour” during Crave. and live music. To kick off the event on They’ve created just for the occasion, a August 16, local artists Chloe Farrell and selection of cocktail-inspired sundaes.

Stephen Scaccia are set to perform.

Summer bucket list, check!

What goes better with live music than If all the European Instragram posts are ice cream? I’ll be heading to Glenburn making you wish you could be there too,

stop by Cristos Greek Taverna for an authentic night of Greek food and culture. During Crave, Cristos is hosting a Greek night complete with a band, drink specials and plenty of dancing. You might even see Greeks in traditional fustanella outfits breaking plates – Opa! And because I’m always on the search for the best food in the city, I’m excited to try the Pear Tree’s special lounge tasting menu, including five new items for $50, as well as the Gray Olive’s awardwinning pork belly bau. This dish is available on their lunch menu only during Crave, so make sure to try it before it’s gone!

With one month left of the summer, make sure to catch up with family and friends right here at The Heights. Get your summer bucket list checked off and create memories that will last you all winter. See you there!

B.C. Ferries presents city with historical plaque master of fleet renewal and standards.

The ship was built at the Victoria machinery depot and had an inaugural run on May 26, 1965. Since her service date, the vessel has belonged to three separate companies and held two other names – from 1994 to 1997,Victoria Line Ltd.’s Royal Victoria, and from 1997 to 1999,Victoria Clipper’s MV Princess Marguerite III. Since 2001 to May of this year, the Queen of Burnaby operated on the Comox to Powell River

Although these two come from separate families, swallows of all kinds are just fine living together. During the summertime you’ll be able to spot these ones in fields and parks or near ponds and coastal waters. During the hot summer months, consider keeping a bowl of water out for them to drink.

“Having a B.C. ferry carry our city’s name has been a 52-year honour that helped to celebrate Burnaby and bring awareness of our city to British Columbians and international visitors during all those years,” Corrigan said in the release. “This plaque will be a permanent reminder of those years – a special artifact to celebrate in this year’s Burnaby’s 125th birthday.”

IMPROVE PRIVACY AND SECURITY AT HOME Fencing and well-placed plantings can improve privacy for homeowners who desire it.

Living in close proximity to one’s neighbors has its benefits. But many homeowners would no doubt admit that privacy at home is a good thing.

Whether homeowners are enjoying their yard in spring or summer or simply want their in-home activities to be less obvious to neighbors, their privacy is a year-round concern. If privacy is a concern, homeowners can take certain steps to ensure their homes stay or become

the sanctuaries they were designed to be.

WINDOW TREATMENTS AND FROSTING Windows allow natural light to enter a home, but windows also enable neighbors and others to see into a home. If thieves are the ones looking inside, wide open windows present a security issue.

Window treatments are an effective way to add privacy

to a home. Closing curtains or blinds limits others’ ability to see inside the house.

Switch to more opaque window treatments when using interior lighting more often, as gossamer draperies may still make it possible for outsiders to understand what’s going on inside the home if people and items are backlit.

For those who do not want to compromise natural light, continued on pg. 21

Fencing remains a viable option to create privacy and stop noise pollution. Privacy fences come in various materials, colors

FENCING AND PERIMETER PLANTINGS Privet hedge, arborvitae or Italian cypress are fast-growing evergreens that provide privacy around a home for homeowners who do not want to install traditional fencing.

These trees also provide a natural habitat for various yard animals. Layering various plants of different heights and textures also can create

and sizes, enabling homeowners to choose styles that fit their landscapes.

PERGOLAS AND ENCLOSED PATIOS Homeowners who like to entertain outdoors

may want to make their outdoor living spaces more private. Pergolas allow light to filter through but obstruct direct view of patio activity, especially when combined with some gauzy draperies hanging on the sides. An enclosed patio or threeseason room can be a worthwhile addition for homeowners who like to enjoy the great outdoors without being in the elements or on display for neighbors.

Structures vary from screened-in porches to greenhouses to removable gazebos.

Potted plants or trailing vines can soften the structural edges and help the privacy devices blend in with the natural surroundings.

Communitynow What you need to know about high blood pressure DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Do you have high blood pressure?

If you’re an adult, you have a one in five chance, and your lifetime risk for developing hypertension is 90 per cent.

Your risk may be even higher if you have a family history of high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney failure or strokes.

Blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure of blood inside your blood vessels, specifically, the brachial artery of the upper arm.

A normal blood pressure of 120/80 (120 over 80) represents a systolic pressure of 120 mm Hg (when the heart contracts) and a diastolic pressure of 80 (when the heart relaxes).

But blood pressure is more than just a number.

High blood pressure damages the delicate inner walls of arteries throughout the body, including the kid-

neys, brain, heart, eyes and extremities.

Over time, it contributes to atherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries), manifested as progressive kidney failure, loss of circulation to your feet and legs, dementia, loss of vision, erectile dysfunction, heart failure (weakness in the pumping of the heart) and angina (chest pain due to impaired circulation to the heart muscle).

The catastrophic end results are premature heart attacks, strokes, blindness, kidney failure requiring dialysis, amputations of toes and feet, aneurysms (the expansion and rupture of blood vessels in the chest, abdomen or brain) and end stage heart failure.

Unless you have it measured, you won’t know your blood pressure.

Most people with high blood pressure feel perfectly fine.That’s why it’s recommended that all adults have their blood pressure measured “at appropriate medical visits.”

I recommend at least once a year.

High blood pressure may be caused by medical conditions such as kidney disease or an overactive thyroid, by medications including ibuprofen or an unhealthy lifestyle; however, 95 per cent of people with high blood pressure have essential hypertension that is often genetic. Blood pressure also increases with age.

White coat syndrome is a real condition wherein a person’s blood pressure is much higher when taken by a doctor or nurse than at home. For this reason, many clinics now rely on automated office blood pressure machines.

The operator sets it up, leaves the room and allows the machine to take three measurements. I ask my patients to measure and record their home blood pressures with a reliable machine (that we compare to our office equipment).

If blood pressure is never high at home or work, we don’t prescribe medications. However, some people have significant rises in their blood pressures with

stressful situations, including their work.

If the blood pressure is high at least eight hours per day (i.e. at work) in addition to the medical clinic, it should be treated.

I coined the term “white collar syndrome” when I discovered that my patient – an accountant – had the highest pressures when he was at work.

As a physician, I want my patients to maintain safe blood pressure levels and avoid long-term complications. Medications have a potent effect in lowering blood pressure but they are not addictive and don’t make the body dependent any more than before they are started.

I have many patients who have been able to reduce the doses and numbers of medications they take through major lifestyle changes.

Some now have normal blood pressures without any drugs.

These potent lifestyle changes include quitting smoking, limiting or stopping alcohol, increased

Burnaby Lakers take Victoria to Game 7 What you’re reading right now is classified as old news – which is still better than #FakeNews.

But whether the Burnaby Lakers won or lost in Game 7 of Tuesday’s Western Lacrosse Association semifinal is for all to see online (go to www.burnabynow.com).

A victory over Victoria means they are competing in just their fourth WLA final since the club moved from Richmond in 1990 – and for the first time since 2004.

If they lost, it will be a repeat of last year’s heartbreaking Game 7 against the same Shamrocks.

What we can say is how they got to a Game 7, though.

Powered by clutch goals from Scott Jones and Cam Milligan, the Lakers silenced 1,800 Shamrocks fans on Sunday with a dramatic 8-5 victory on the Island in Game 6.

With their backs to the wall, the Lakers came out determined, staking out a 2-0 lead on goals from Eli McLaughlin and Jones.Victoria replied with three of its own to sit in the lead 3-2 after 20 minutes.

In the second period, Milligan buried a shorthanded chance to pull the teams even, but was again countered by Victoria. Milligan came up big again, this time scoring on the powerplay with 3:43 remaining in the period.

In the third, Jones tallied twice and Robert Church added a goal in a span of 1:53 as Burnaby jumped ahead 7-4.While Victoria reduced that lead to 7-5 midway through the period, Church wrapped up the offence with five minutes left.

The Lakers outshot Victoria 4137.

Burnaby, which earned home floor advantage with a league-best record during the regular season, was aiming to avoid a repeat of last year, where Victoria took a 3-0 lead before the Lakers stormed back to tie it up and force a Game 7 – only to lose 14-11.

In what is a young person’s sport, Burnaby’s Briannah Tsang has stuck to it longer than most.

Reaching the NCAA championships twice in three years and representing her country – as she will this coming week at the Summer Universiade Games in Taiwan – are incredible points in a journey yet to conclude.

But she concedes the finish line is closing in, and a little welcomed.

“This will likely be my last year of gymnastics, so that’s a whole thing in itself,” said Tsang, entering her fourth and final year at Penn State. “Yeah, basically I have to keep my body healthy…. It’s bittersweet, I’m excited to move on with my life, but I’m also sad to give up a part of me that’s been, it’s been a part of me for so long.”

She has been in the sport since the age of four and been competing at its elite levels for more than a decade.Tsang has competed at nationals, NCAA championships, Olympic trials and international meets with resilience and determination.

The results weren’t always what the 21-yearold had hoped for.The training always demanded a heavy degree of commitment. But there have been rewards, especially in the people she’s met and friends she’s made through the sport.

Her junior year saw its share of highlights, although she modestly reflected on it.

“This past year we did OK as a team but not as well as we liked to,” she said. “We got through and I did make it to nationals, me and a teammate qualified as individuals. I competed in all-around.”

The year began with a great boost by winning the season opener against Bowling Green, BrighamYoung and Temple universities. Of the 12 meets her team competed in, the Burnaby Central alumna won 12 individual events and five all-around titles, being named to the AllBig 10 first team for a second consecutive year.

Her season-best score came at the Penn Quad meet, where Tsang won the all-around with a 39.425, taking the vault and floor events.The floor score was a personal-best 9.950, which tied for fifth-best in Penn history.

At the NCAA regionals, she finished fourth in all-around, and advanced to the national championships where she ended up 30th, with an 18th-place mark on the floor exercise.

Getting to represent her country is a special honour that she’s glad to take on, even though it comes at a time when most of her fellow Nittany Lions gymnasts are making final preparations for the university year.

An honour roll student,Tsang has mapped out the next stage after gymnastics through her

studies as a bio behavioural science student.

She’s looking at going on to med school, having been inspired by her mom’s career as an ER nurse.

“There’s a lot of high-energy, high-stress situations – exactly like my sport,” she said.

In Taiwan, she will have one special keepsake which has followed her through numerous

competitions and challenges: a pet rock given to her when she was barely a teen by a friend.

“I’ve brought it with me to all my meets so I will definitely be bringing that. It’s more like something for familiarity… Good luck? I think it has (been),” she said.

Burnaby rower nets jr. bronze The women’s double sculls team of Kieanna Stephens and Grace VandenBroek piloted their boat to a bronze medal at last week’s World Rowing Junior Championships in Lithuania.

Stephens, of the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club, and VandenBroek, from Peterborough, Ont., found themselves chasing South Africa in the final, and briefly claimed the lead after the 500metre mark. Great Britain and Germany would both pull ahead, as Canada held on for third place. It was the duo’s first world championships.

“Despite our lack of time in this sport, we knew that we were capable of doing something amazing,” said Stephens, who only started rowing last year. “The only question was, how amazing?”

An accomplished athlete in softball and hockey, Stephens only took up rowing last year, and is coached by Rowing B.C. head coach Rob Richards.

“It was a very hard race, we came out fast,” said VandenBroek. “We knew we had to hold on and we had a really good chance for a spot on the podium.

We both still have a year of juniors left, so we knew it was going to be very challenging, but we just laid it all out there.”

Taking one for the team: The Burnaby Blue Jays’ Jordy Cunningham, at right, takes a relay throw from an Aldergrove Giants’ infielder off the back, after having gotten on base on a hit-by-pitch. He shook off both to continue in the game. Burnaby fell 8-4, and prepare to start the playoffs against the Surrey Angels this Sunday at Robert Burnaby Park. The game is tenatively set for 9 a.m. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Home Inventory Rising in Greater Vancouver – But So Are Prices

BURNABY/TRI-CITIES HOME SALES* Attached Detached

MEDIAN SALE PRICE** Of the 274 homes sold in the Greater Vancouver board region July 31-August 6, 155 went for more than their asking price, an MLS data analysis reveals.

the Greater Vancouver Multiple Listing Service – compared with 8,515 as of the end of June and 8,168 at the end of May.

This is despite sales the same week (July 31-August 6, registered sold as of August 10) slowing considerably on week-by-week and month-by-month basis, as the warm weather kept potential buyers at bay.

This increased choice for buyers has not dampened prices, with median sale prices in all three home categories this week higher than last week, and a larger proportion of homes (56.6% versus 53%) selling for over asking price.

Sellers also continued to sit on the sidelines, with new listings coming on the market in the same week dropping below the 1,000 mark.

Looking at condos, 62% of the 175 homes to sell last week exchanged hands for more than their sticker price.

The median sale price was $595,000.

Despite the lower numbers of newly marketed homes, overall resale inventory is rising because of the even slower sales. As of August 10, there were 9,162 active home listings on

Townhouses (including half-duplexes and row homes) also saw an increased median selling price at more than $800,000.

In fact, the most expensive home to sell in the Greater Vancouver region the week of July 31-August 6 was a townhome – a luxurious waterfront Yaletown unit that sold for $3,490,000, The detached home market continued to plod along, with 56 home sales across the entire Greater Vancouver region last week, 25 of which were sold above asking price. The priciest detached house to sell that week, registered as of August 10, was a beautiful heritagestyle, 2003-built house in MacKenzie Heights on the West Side, which sold for $3,410,000.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
