French memories Having lunch at Chez Mèmè in Burnaby Heights is like a visit to Grandma’s farm in Brittany

When Isabelle and Ross Spence wanted to slow down their lives from the hustle and bustle of running a busy creperie on Robson Street in Vancouver, they thought of lunches at the farm of Isabelle’s grandmother in Brittany, northern France.

There, 20 or 30 or more members of the family would gather for boisterous meals of fluffy omelets, grilled ham, wine and fresh bread.

“It was always so chaotic,” says Isabelle. “But somehow she managed to keep it all together, always smiling.”

That’s the inspiration for Chez Mèmè, the small corner of Brittany they’ve been running on Hastings Street since November 2009. Open only for breakfast and lunch, the menu is simple hearty French country fare like omelets Montagnarde, with Black Forest ham, onions, potatoes and raclette cheese and sandwiches like lamb shank with roasted garlic jam and Dijon mustard on a crunchy baguette.

Ah, the baguette. It’s at the very centre of French gastronomy, says Ross, who was born in Burnaby and spent years working in restaurants and hotels around Europe before returning home nine years ago. “It’s a religion.”

There’s no such thing as stale bread in a French pantry, says Ross. A stop at the corner boulangerie in the morning to pick up the lunch baguette, and another in the afternoon for the dinner baguette is part of the daily routine.

“There’s no guilt to have bread every day,” says Ross. “In France you fight to get the end bit.”

Any bread that’s left over is dipped in eggs and milk for french toast, or fed to the livestock.

The baguettes at Chez Mèmè aren’t quite fully baked when Ross picks them up at the bakery every morning, He finishes them through the day so they’re warm and fresh for each sandwich, soft and fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the outside.

The smells and tastes and lively conversations around the small square tables are just like home, says Isabelle. “You feel like you are at your French grandma’s.”

Chez Mèmè Baguette Bistro is at 4016 Hastings St. It is open Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with special openings every second Saturday of the month.

CAMERON LIBRARY CLOSURE

Farewell to the first lady of Streams

By Mario Bartel NEWSLEADER

T

he First Lady of Streams is going back to the land.

Joan Carne, who cofounded Stream of Dreams with Louise Towell 11 years ago, is leaving the project that has decorated fences around schools in Burnaby and New Westminster, as far north as Prince George and in Alberta and Ontario with colourful swimming salmon.

She’s heading to the Yukon to resume her career as a mapping geologist for the mining industry.

She leaves behind 125,000 brightly painted plywood fish created by a like number of schoolchildren, teachers and parent volunteers. And, she hopes, a legacy that each of those fish represent a growing awareness and stewardship of urban streams and the wildlife that inhabit them.

That’s why Stream of Dreams came to be in the first place.

Source of inspiration Frustrated by spills of paint and toxic chemicals into Burnaby’s Byrne Creek that would instantly undo months and years of work by her Byrne Creek Streamkeepers, of which she was president, Carne knew she had to spread her message to take care around the creek and the storm drains that pour into it beyond her

small group of dedicated environmentalists. She had to reach residents who wash their cars in their driveways, sending toxic soapy water down the culverts. She had to remind businesses to take care when disposing of used motor oil and solvents. She had to reach kids who could care for the creek into the future.

But first she had to let people know about the creek in the first place.

Byrne Creek begins near St. Thomas More Secondary, where it flows underground through culverts and pipes MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER for nearly two kilometres.

Joan Carne even wears her passion for saving fish habitats.

But it gathers its water from much of the Edmonds area. like F.W. Howay, and just also remind everyone who At the heart of that area, recently, Lord Tweedsmuir. saw it that live fish were at the corner of Kingsway Community volunteers, like swimming not far from the and Edmonds, was a barren, the Burnaby Fire Fighters concrete ribbons on which bombed-out lot awaiting Association, were enlisted they were driving and walkredevelopment.

Rapid progress In 2004, Stream of Dreams was recognized with a gold medal at the Canadian Environment Awards. And their idea was spreading, to more than a dozen projects in Burnaby and New Westminster, to Vancouver Island, the suburbs of Calgary and to two conservation authorities in Ontario. To protect the integrity of their concept, Carne and Towell trademarked Stream of Dreams and formed a registered charity.

Carne, who’s trained to recognize rock formations and mineral deposits, can now identify every watershed from Vancouver Island to the Interior. Many of the early fences are still up, and the students who worked on them have grown up, some now have children of their own, and at least one has become a teacher at a school that recently completed its own mural.

“There’s a positive continuum,” says Carne. “We’re starting to see some incredible young people really drive the environmental message. People are starting to get the picture and we’re part of it.”

But it’s an ongoing struggle. In the years since Stream of Dreams started, Byrne Creek has been killed a few times by spills. At times it can feel like one step forward, two steps back.

A proposal to add a half hour to the Hastings Street HighOccupancy-Vehicle (HOV) lanes during morning and afternoon rush hours would only serve to hurt local businesses, according to the Heights Merchants Association (HMA).

“We believe HOV lanes belong on freeways, not neighbourhoods,” said HMA executive director Isabel Kolic in an interview.

Kolic was part of a delegation that spoke to city council recently to express concerns about the HOV plan, to extend the hours of the lanes westbound to 6 to 9 a.m., and eastbound to 3 to 6 p.m.

The proposal is one option being considered as part of a traffic calming plan for the Burnaby Heights and Capitol Hill neighbourhoods, the theory being that the HOV lanes will make Hastings Street more desirable to motorists than rat-running through adjacent neighbourhoods.

Kolic said traffic may be reduced on residential streets for a period but it’s likely to return to current

levels in the long term.

Meanwhile, the loss of a half hour of street parking and the added traffic on Hastings will harm the viability of the shopping district.

“And isn’t a viable shopping district what people move here for in the first place?” she added.

To council, Kolic said many medical and professional offices on Hastings are open at 8 or 8:30 a.m., so there are businesses that would be directly affected by the change.

“Pedestrians are what we depend on. To extend HOV to 9 a.m. effectively tells pedestrians you don’t matter as much as getting traffic through the Heights quickly.”

She noted that in successful shopping districts such as the South Granville area, congestion is seen as a sign of success.

“You don’t expect to drive quickly through there.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan responded at the council meeting that city staff were asked to “put everything on the table” to try and solve the longstanding traffic issues in the adjacent residential neighbourhoods.

The merchants association’s concerns would be taken into consideration as part of the traffic calming planning process, he said. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

“We always tell the story about the death of Byrne Creek because this is why we do this,” says Carne.

“There are still people who don’t understand.”

As Stream of Dreams has grown, managing the project has also become more intensive, keeping Carne from the classrooms as she seeks new funding and trains volunteers.

The cramped office is only a pebble’s toss from the final leg of Byrne Creek as it courses toward the Fraser River. Colourful fish adorn the walls and hang from the ceiling in mobiles. Stacks of plywood sheets, recycled from a Langley scaffolding company, sit in the corner waiting to be cut by a bandsaw into 100-125 swimming salmon.

With the prospect of losing her friend and guiding force, Towell admits to moments of trepidation for Stream of Dreams’ future.

She’s connected with a teacher to handle the educational aspect of the program and she’s hoping to find someone to help with administration.

“There may be a transformation here as well,” says Towell. “My plan is to help people understand about water through art.”

As Carne embarks on the next phase of her life, she’s satisfied she’s left a positive message, one that makes her smile every time she passes by a Stream of Dreams fence.

“When I drive by those murals, I say ‘there’s culture, there’s B.C. culture,’ ” says Carne. “We are helping bring joy to the doom and gloom movement.”

And while the first Stream of Dreams mural at Kingsway and Edmonds is gone, replaced by a gleaming condo development and a shiny new public library, its spirit carries on with a concrete sculpture of a leaping salmon in the plaza, and a teeming salmon stream embossed into the concrete walkways of the neighbouring Highgate development.

“I think we’ve left some kind of mark,” says Towell.

Anne Marie Oktaba is one of about 200 volunteers who help with the care and release of birds and small mammals after they are rehabilitated at the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby.

MARIO BARTEL/BLACK PRESS

Volunteers to the Rescue More than 200 people give their time to help injured wildlife at Burnaby Lake

By Diane Strandberg BLACK PRESS

It could have been a scene from some Disney movie but instead of a lonely orphan reconnecting with his long-lost family, the central character of this touching scene was a tiny Goldeneye.

The black and white seaduck with its golden button of an eye was swimming towards a group of three or four similarlyplumaged ducks who paddled toward him, as if in greeting.

For Anne Marie Oktaba it was a special moment.

“A life’s a life, right?”

Similar reunions have played out over the years in Oktaba’s life since she joined the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. as a volunteer in 2009, and each one is as special as the next, she says, because of the feeling of accomplishment when a rehabilitated animal is returned to the wild. “If you can help one injured animal, there is a sense of pride in that you are doing good for the whole species,” she said.

Oktaba is one of 200 volunteers who work at the Burnaby facility located at the west end of Burnaby Lake. She helps feed and care for some of the

3,000 injured, orphaned and pollution-damaged wild animals and transports them for release into the wild.

Open all year round, the centre requires numerous volunteers to look after the animals that are rescued by Lower Mainland residents.

She’s released families of ducklings, tiny song birds, squirrels and even a marmot and travels hundreds of miles a year to do this necessary task.

To mark volunteer week, the association is highlighting the work of its volunteers, and Anne Marie Oktaba in particular, for her commitment and dedication.

“When she’s in we know a lot of things will be taken care of,” said Linda Bakker, the association’s volunteer coordinator. who said Oktaba also trains and mentors new volunteers.

Oktaba decided to get involved with the organization when she was looking for a change in her life. “I had brought in a couple of injured birds in the past, and I wanted to give back.”

It turned out she got more out of the volunteer work than she expected, and now knows the names and habits of many local birds. She also learned that house cats, including her own, can be a threat to fledgling birds and should be kept indoors, especially during nesting season.

“I’m trying to not let him out quite as often,” and Oktaba,

about her own cat who has been known to snatch the occasional fledgling.

Some of the birds and small mammals brought into the centre can’t be rehabilitated but many do survive and are successfully released to the wild. Watching the birds take flight or a released squirrel scamper into the woods around her home is a joyful experience, Oktaba said.

The Goldeneye release was a particularly memorable experience because it almost didn’t survive. Some people picked it up after they spotted it floating upside down in Belcarra Bay. It had a punctured air sac, which accounted for the loss of balance and buoyancy, but was rehabilitated after a few weeks at the animal care centre.

Oktaba met up with the duck’s rescuers on the beach and everyone was surprised and pleased when the released Goldeneye was reunited with its mates. “It was really touching, they were the ones who found the bird and they didn’t even think he would make it,” Oktaba said of the rescuers.

But the little Goldeneye did make it, thanks to the biologists, animal technologists and those people who volunteer their time at the Wildlife Rescue Association.

—EDITORIAL—

Long-shot promises Voters are used to politicians breaking, or not fulfilling, the promises made during election campaigns.

For 36 days Canada’s federal leaders are crisscrossing the country expressing their devotion to Canadians, trying to woo support of voters—many of whom would rather not be having another election.

This time, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have made some promises that would actually benefit ordinary Canadians.

A $2.5 billion tax cut to allow income-sharing between parents with children, a $275 million fitness credit for adult taxpayers, and an increase to the annual limit Canadians can deposit into tax-free savings accounts from $5,000 to $10,000.

But all three promises come with a clever catch.

All have the proviso that they wouldn’t be enacted until the federal budget is balanced.

Don’t hold your breath.

With this year’s budget $29.3 billion in the red, most analysts predict it will take four to five years to balance the books. And that’s assuming there aren’t any extraordinary expenses like another recession, natural disasters or an international crisis.

Canadians may never see the Tories’ pledges come to fruition.

Even if they win a majority this time, those promises likely wouldn’t be enacted until the waning days of their mandate.

On the one hand these conditional promises are a clever strategy.

They come with a built-in excuse so Harper can never be criticized for breaking them.

And they’re a ready-made platform for the next election campaign—a seductive enticement for voters anxious to keep a little more cash in their pockets to tune out or forget about the conditions attached to those tax breaks when they mark their ballots.

Question of the week

would be a false economy. Instead, he is focused on two hugely expensive seismic upgrades, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley and the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River.

Together these are budgeted at more than $2 billion and are the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt.

Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dams instead.

Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me.

“It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.”

Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June.

That will give the government enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

• Correction: I erred in a recent column that said the Ruskin Dam is part of a regional flood control system. It isn’t.

Vote for public health care Health care is the number one issue for Canadians in the May 2 federal election, despite some parties’ best efforts to make the economy or ethics the vote-determining topic.

Consider the recent CTV/Globe/ Nanos survey that showed that Canadians identified health care as the number one concern for government to address, 11 points higher than jobs and the economy.

Canadians have witnessed an explosion of private for-profit health facilities and services across the country, with B.C. at the forefront.

Health care issues such as surgical wait times and growing out-ofpocket spending are best addressed by cracking down on the selling of medically necessary hospital or physician services to patients.

How do we do this? By committing to the principles of the Canada Health Act, the important and forward-thinking legislation that is the cornerstone of the universal public health care upon which we all rely. Yet B.C. and Ottawa have decided not to enforce laws that protect patients from user fees charged by for-profit clinics for medically necessary services.

Federal candidates would be wise to stake clear positions that demonstrate how they will strengthen and protect public health care.

I’m voting public health care!

Congratulations for a job well done Re: Water for Life concert at Michael J. Fox Theatre, Thursday, April 7 This concert delivered a powerful message about the conservation of rivers, nature and the water that we in this country take so much for granted.

I would like to thank Mark Angelo, chair of the Rivers Institute of BCIT, for not only delivering an articulate message in respect to

conservation, but also for sharing the stories of his extraordinary experiences. No doubt everyone at this concert came home with a different outlook towards the above issues. The music by Holly Arntzen, Kevin Wright and the Dream Band was also superb, but most of all I want to congratulate Brentwood Park elementary. A total of 160 students from the school participated in the concert, singing many songs and acting as the chorus for Arntzen and Wright. Their performance was absolutely outstanding.

A plea for engagement, and for a better way I want to start a small movement. It will be a movement of change that will strip us of wealth, preconceived notions and politics.

This movement will leave nothing but the being within each of us so that you and I can talk about being human beings and to create a true connection between us.

By bringing the very basic value of humanity, we avoid bias, lies and deception. We recognize within each other ourselves, and in your human needs I will see my needs.

I am reaching out to you as a daughter, friend, student, member of this society living below the established poverty line, cousin, uncle, father.

But I am trying to reach much further than your social and political role. I am trying to reach that level on which you and I are nothing more than flesh and bones. I am trying to touch you, reach that human being in you who feels pain and guilt at the sight of a starving child, the human in you that bursts in anger at injustice and corruption, the being in you that feels before you think. At the end of it all, in our deathbeds, stripped of all glory, achievements, and wealth, you and I will face each other as nothing more than human beings: that’s whom I am trying to reach. Empathy of all our principles is the one true Canadian value.

I wake up to the news every morning. I see our political discourse dominated by attacks, deceit, and accusations as our leaders try to destroy one another, refusing to work together. I see our politicians playing a zero sum game where the victory of one means the end of the others. There is no dialogue or reasonable arguments in politics today. I see a Prime Minister unwilling to answer our questions, opposition leaders who rather than working together are trying to brand themselves as nothing more than a product to be consumed.

But you know what, it is our political system, our democracy and our country, and it’s time to reclaim our right to govern ourselves through proper government proceedings, through transparency, and collaboration between political parties.

Please inform yourself. Speak to others, reach out, share your idea of a better Canada and listen to their perspectives. Make a friend. And please vote on May 2, 2011.

Gas prices in this province have reached unbelievable levels.

High demand for oil in China and political instability in some of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East are said to be to blame.

But that just leads me to wonder why we are allowing ourselves to be controlled by outside forces when we have so many alternative resources available to us here in our own backyard: resources that we ourselves control.

Unlike a lot of other places in the world, we have an abundance of renewable energy potential in this province that could be used to electrify many of the vehicles we drive. So why are we paying $1.30 a litre when we could be filling up electric cars for mere pennies?

China’s appetite for oil isn’t going to diminish anytime soon, and nor will political instability in the Middle East.

We need to give our heads a shake and wake up to the alternative energy abundance we have all around us in this province.

I have received business gifts – should I keep them?

Q

: A salesman has recently given me two gifts. Last month it was a $50 gift certiďŹ cate to a favourite coffee shop and just this week I received a beautiful sweater sent to my home address. I have already used the gift certiďŹ cate and the sweater is perfect, but now I’m having second thoughts. Should I return the sweater (with a new gift certiďŹ cate)?

Your question is legitimate and deals with the ethical side of business which can sometimes be rather difďŹ cult to quantify.

In your case, however, it has also become incrementally perplexing because the ďŹ rst gift—the gift certiďŹ cate—probably seemed reasonable to accept as a way of saying “thanks.â€?

The sweater, though, Simon Gibson is something more personal, even intimate, and the fact the salesman had it delivered to your home would suggest he didn’t want it to be revealed to others at the ofďŹ ce.

In accepting the sweater would you be taking the relationship with the salesman to a different level? Does he have feelings for you and the sweater is a symbol of this affection?

In any case, it is important to realize that as an employee, your ďŹ rst responsibility is to the company, not yourself. Any beneďŹ ts you may receive as a purchaser of services should therefore accrue to your employer.

So, yes, you should return the sweater and you may also purchase a gift certiďŹ cate of equivalent value which you could present to him at the same time.

I’d recommend you simply give him the sweater and gift certiďŹ cate with minimal explanation. Refer to company policies and don’t criticize him or make him feel uncomfortable. Be gracious and thank him for his generosity—which you do appreciate.

It should not be necessary to mention the issue to co-workers or management because you are resolving the issue independently by returning both gifts.

This should almost certainly conclude the matter.

Putting closure on the gifts will give you peace of mind and should ensure you will continue to have a professional business relationship with the sales rep. As a purchaser of his services, it would not be appropriate for you to consider him as more than a valued acquaintance.

Ethical considerations in business can sometime represent a “slippery slope� with initial decisions spinning into something considerably more problematic. You have wisely considered the matter early and will be able to apply what you have learned to any future issues.

MetroPlace project gets zoning approval

A 46-storey project that could become the catalyst for pedestrianfriendly development in the Metrotown area received final zoning approvals from Burnaby council Monday.

Intracorp’s MetroPlace project at Beresford Street and Telford Avenue, across from the Metrotown SkyTrain station, will include a pedestrianoriented high street with street-front shopping, like on Robson Street.

The Beresford Street part of the development will include wide boulevards, public art, landscaping and outdoor seating, as part of a public plaza.

The property is currently occupied by a large warehouse and two single-family homes, and incorporates the city-owned property at 6475 Telford Ave. and part of Beresford Street itself.

The project is the first to take advantage of proposed new “supplemental community benefit density bonuses” for Burnaby’s town centres.

The public space was a key component in awarding the bonus density to the project.

PAYING TOO MUCH TAX?

CONTRIBUTED IMAGE

Intracorp’s MetroPlace project at Beresford Street and Telford Avenue, across from the Metrotown SkyTrain station, will include a pedestrian-oriented high street with street-front shopping, like on Robson Street.

It aims to integrate the adjacent Maywood neighbourhood into the town centre and will include pedestrian and cyclist-friendly linkages to provide easier access to Metrotown mall, the library branch and civic square, Bonsor Recreation Centre, and Central Park from the area south of Metrotown station.

The project will also have reduced parking requirements. The

developer has agreed to reduce the market value of 41 units which have a parking stall as an option, according to a city staff report.

MetroPlace will comprise 342 homes in a 46-storey tower and in townhomes along Telford Avenue.

At the base of the tower on Beresford will be a three-storey commercial and community space with a landscaped green roof. It will include up

“This is a shared vision, but more than anything it was Burnaby’s vision for Beresford Street and for our site,” said Maurice Pez, Intracorp’s senior vice-president of development, in a press release. “It’s going to make an exciting addition to Burnaby’s Metrotown Centre plan.”

Construction will start in the fall, with completion estimated in fall 2014.

ASK EVE

Introducing All-on-4 “Teeth-in-a-day” Solution!

What happened to a little respect? WHAT IS

Q

: I can’t believe how little respect the younger people of today have for seniors. Whatever happened to addressing somebody older as Mr. or Mrs. and last name instead of assuming we want to be on a first-name basis?

A: You may be surprised to know some seniors like being called by their first names—it makes the generation gap seem less.

Practically speaking, some last names are very difficult to pronounce and rather than offend or Eve Silverman mispronounce a name it is easier to use a first name. However, don’t be shy to let others know your preference of how you want to be addressed. There was on old saying: “Call me anything, just don’t call me late for supper.

Q

: My girlfriend has been a widow for a number of years and I became a widow two years ago. I know she means well, but I am finding her a bit of a pain lately. She is always trying to get me to do things, like lose weight, change my hair, join her bridge club and now she thinks I should move closer to her. I am not interested in making these changes. I am adjusting to being alone and I am finding I like my own company. Lately I have been trying to avoid her, because being with her is becoming more and more uncomfortable. What should I do?

A: She seems to have crossed the line from “well meaning” to intrusive. She is probably concerned that you may become isolated, as some seniors do, when they lose their life partners. She may also be lonely and perhaps projecting that feeling onto you. In addition she may not be aware that her suggestions are not being well received by you. I suggest it’s time you gals have a heart-

Laughing at ourselves An elderly couple was on a cruise and it was really stormy. They were standing on the back of the boat watching the moon, when a wave came up and washed the old man overboard. They searched for days and couldn’t find him, so the captain sent the old woman back to shore, with the promise that he would notify her as soon as they found something.

Three weeks went by and finally, the old woman got a fax from the boat. It read: Ma’am, sorry to inform you that we found your husband dead, at the bottom of the ocean.

“I’ve known Dr. Kwon since he did general dentistry a long time ago. I really enjoyed him whenever I visited his office. As I got older, I eventually needed implants, so I went to his implant only practice in Metrotown.

The staff at Chrysalis are real gems.

They’re very kind, warm, and caring.

From the first visit to finish, it was a fantastic experience. Also, I’ve never had pain during and after the procedure. Dr. Kwon is like a magician and he is extremely humble and always a delight to talk with.”

As we age Keep elderly relatives safe at home Since the economy began to slip, a notable and often newsworthy trend reported on across the country was the growing number of “boomerang� kids. After a brief period living on their own, boomerang kids return to live with their parents, mimicking an actual boomerang that returns to where it started after a brief period away.

While boomerang kids might get the most publicity, another trend has also been steadily growing. According to the Pew Research Center, 20 per cent of individuals age 65 and older lived in a multigenerational household in 2008. That marked a three per cent increase from 1990. While there’s no single reason why more and more elderly residents are moving in

with their adult children, the still-struggling economy has likely played a signiďŹ cant role.

For adult children welcoming a parent or an in-law into their home, a common priority is to ensure the home is safe for an elderly resident. Some safety measures might be easier to plan than others, but the following guidelines should help adults prepare their homes for the arrival of an elderly housemate.

Reduce risk of injury in the bathroom Perhaps no room can be more difďŹ cult for seniors to navigate than the bathroom.

Wet tiled oors can increase the risk of falling, so make sure to have bathroom rugs that are slip-resistant. Slip-resistant

rugs typically have a rubber bottom and won’t move even if the oor is wet.

Another step to secure the bathroom is to install grab bars on the walls, including in the bathtub and next to the toilet.

Also, make sure the towel bars are secure, as seniors might grab onto towel bars if they feel they are about to fall or need to regain their balance.

As for the bathtub, place a non-skid mat or strips on the standing area. This can help secure arguably the riskiest part of a home not just for elderly residents but all inhabitants of a home. According to the National Safety Council, most falls in the home occur in the bathroom.

One Sunday a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns. After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering.

He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate. A very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns. Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take him and him and him.â&#x20AC;?

eral density (BMD), which measures the levels of minerals in the bones. When BMD levels are low, a person is said to have osteopenia, which can, and often does, gradually become osteoporosis.

Methodical and often unnoticed, osteopenia exhibits no physical signs, and even the most physically active people could have osteopenia and not know it. The first warning sign could be a fractured bone. When osteoporosis has established itself, the bones have weakened and become thin and are highly susceptible to fracture.

Most adults recall a time or times when their mothers insisted they drink their milk.

Though it might not have been preferred at the time, adults might now recognize mom was doing her best to help her kids build and maintain strong bones.

Those who didn’t listen to Mommy Dearest might find themselves among the almost two million Canadians whom the national charity Osteoporosis Canada estimates live with osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of unexpected fractures.

Can it be prevented?

But why milk?

While milk alone won’t prevent osteoporosis, dairy products like milk are rich in calcium, an essential nutrient for building and maintaining strong bones. In addition, getting an early start is especially important, as roughly 85-90 per cent of adult bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and age 20 in boys. Though this still might not inspire kids to pour themselves a glass of milk, perhaps a better understanding of osteoporosis and its

What happens when a person has osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is often mistaken as a condition that only affects little old ladies.

While osteoporosis is most common in older women, anyone can develop it. As many as half of all women and a quarter of men older

When discussing osteoporosis, it’s best to first discuss osteopenia, a silent condition the precedes osteoporosis, often robbing bones of their strength. Osteopenia is related to bone min-

Fortunately, osteoporosis can often be prevented. It’s important for parents to encourage kids to increase the amount of calcium in their diet. Milk and dairy products; dark green leafy vegetables and calcium-fortified orange juice are great sources of calcium.

Another way to prevent osteoporosis is to exercise regularly.

Routine exercise helps strengthen bones and muscles and prevent bone loss. Men and women must also make sure to include vitamin D in their diet.

Make sure to keep the home illuminated CONTINUED FROM PAGE

Understandably, many homeowners look to save money around the house, and turning off the lights at night is both common and financially savvy. However, when a home has an elderly resident, it’s best to ensure the home is at least partially illuminated. Night lights should be used in hallways and along the staircase as well as in the bathroom and the kitchen.

Clear out the clutter A cluttered home is a fire hazard regardless of whom is living inside. However, a cluttered home is also a considerable safety

risk for seniors. When preparing a home for an elderly resident, be sure the bedroom is not overcrowded.

Make certain there is a clear path to walk around the bed.

Ideally, elderly residents should have a clear path on which to walk from room to room.

Environmental strategy up next for city hall Social sustainability strategy to be released soon

By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost two down, one to go for Burnaby city hall.

Following completion of an economic development strategy, and the release in the near future of its social sustainability strategy, the environment will be the subject of the third part in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainable city initiative to get underway, Mayor Derek Corrigan told guests in his state of the city speech at a Burnaby Board of Trade luncheon last week.

As for social sustainability, Corrigan said continues to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make every effort to have the provincial and federal governments live up to their responsibility to fund the creation of a safe, affordable home for every citizen.â&#x20AC;?

Funds contributed by developers in exchange for increased density has allowed city hall to provide $327,000 in grants to non-proďŹ t groups building social housing and to create 19 units of social housing.

And the city is still trying to persuade the federal and provincial governments to use the Hastings Street Urban Renewal Site, which is owned by all three levels of government, for an affordable housing project.

On the economic front, Burnaby city hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investments earned a 5.1 per cent return in 2010, or $33 million, of which $7.3 million helped reduce the tax levy by 3.56 per cent (the remainder was put back into reserves).

The city has $518 million in reserves, which allows it to react quickly to situations, for example, going ahead with a new $43-million Edmonds pool and community centre during the economic downturn, when construction costs are lower.

The environment, meanwhile, has ďŹ gured prominently in a number of Burnaby projects including the newest phase of the UniverCity development next to Simon Fraser University.

New development requirements at UniverCity will make the buildings 40 per cent more water efďŹ cient and at least 30 per cent more energy efďŹ cient than under standard Building Code requirements, Corrigan said.

Already, the average home in the UniverCity community uses 13 per cent less electricity than the average home in Metro Vancouver.

At city hall itself, energy-saving retroďŹ ts to city facilities are helping save $530,000 in average annual energy costs.

The Southpoint Drive rain garden project has transformed 2,300 square metres of paved surface into a public amenity located next to Taylor Park.

While serving as an extension of the park, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to absorb rainwater and naturally ďŹ ltering it, while reducing erosion.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan presented his State of the City address last week.

The food scraps collection program has seen a â&#x20AC;&#x153;signiďŹ cant weight increaseâ&#x20AC;? in the yard waste-food scrap bins.

With food waste accounting for about 35 per cent of the weight of total waste, the program helps reduce the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dis-

posal costs and helps the city get closer to the regional waste reduction goal of 70 per cent by 2015.

Meanwhile, the controversial Burnaby Lake dredging project is nearing its goal of removing about 180,000 cubic metres of sediment from the lake bottom.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;large percentageâ&#x20AC;? of the sediment was found to be contaminated with â&#x20AC;&#x153;elevated levels of metals and hydrocarbonâ&#x20AC;? and tons of debris was found and removed, including tires, plastic bags, bottles, cans and metal objects.

Despite concerns about the fate of the endangered Western painted turtle living in the lake, and the added expense of developing ground-penetrating radar technology to detect them, no turtles were found during dredging, Corrigan said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were too smart to stay near the dredging and moved upstream until we were ďŹ nished.â&#x20AC;? wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Metro wants hammer to end growth plan impasse

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver voted Friday to seek binding arbitration to swiftly settle objections from Coquitlam to its proposed regional growth strategy, which now has the backing of all other cities.

The holdout council rejected the new plan as inconsistent, riddled with exemptions and vesting too much control in the hands of the regional board.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart wanted the region to pursue mediation instead but most directors voted to ask the province to impose a binding solution.

The master plan to control development would draw a new urban containment boundary to prevent sprawl, add mechanisms to limit the loss of industrial land and continue the region’s aims of protecting green space and farmland. It would replace the outdated Livable Region Strategic Plan.

Time is of the essence, regional planning committee chair Derek Corrrigan said, because civic elections are coming this fall.

Mediation could take until well past November, when a newly elected set of councillors and mayors will take over, potentially setting negotiations back years.

The process has already consumed several years, three sets of consultations, dozens of public meetings and thousands of hours of staff time.

Corrigan said Metro “bent over backwards” in a failed effort to accommodate Coquitlam.

Stewart – who admits some on his council oppose the entire concept of regional planning – said so many concessions have been made to each city that the document is now little more than a conglomeration of local plans.

“I don’t think it’s a regional plan,” he said, pointing to the different land designations for golf courses in

various cities around the region.

“I personally want the best RGS we can get – one that protects the livability of our region and one that fixes the flaws in the current RGS.” Coquitlam is accused of acting in bad faith by deciding late in the process – just in the last few months – that the plan is unpalatable and last month tabling a nearblanket rejection of it.

Corrigan also suggested Coquitlam council was swayed by development industry lobbyists who oppose tighter land-use controls.

The request for binding arbitration was opposed by directors from Coquitlam and Vancouver, as well as Surrey’s Marvin Hunt.

Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said he also supported Coquitlam’s request for the more conciliatory mediation option, but disagreed the plan lacks merit.

“Yes it is an amalgamation of local plans, but they are under a regional umbrella of a shared vision for the region,” Trasolini said,

“I personally want the best (Regional Growth Strategy) we can get – one that protects the livability of our region and one that fixes the flaws in the current RGS.”

Richard Stewart Mayor of Coquitlam adding cities have a responsibility to work together to manage growth and protect green space.

Board chair Lois Jackson said it’s unfortunate the plan is now being held up by just one city.

Port Moody had also voted to reject the plan but gave a series of conditions on which it would accept.

Metro’s board agreed to the city’s demands it be exempted from targets for population, housing and job growth until construction of the Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension

and Murray-Clarke Overpass are assured.

Trasolini said putting those concessions in the plan sends a message to the province and TransLink that the two transportation projects are critical.

Concerns of critics range from fears of more construction creeping higher up the mountains in West Vancouver to the possible loss of agricultural land in parts of Langley and Richmond.

The growth strategy, titled Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping Our Future, would guide development across the region as Metro’s population grows by an estimated 1.2 million to to 3.4 million by 2040.

It aims to concentrate development in urban areas well served by transit.

Eighteen member municipalities agreed to adopt the plan by the March 22 deadline, as did the Tsawwassen First Nation, TransLink and the two neighbouring regional districts. jnagel@blackpress.ca

TransLink’s one-size-fits-all tax rate hits hot markets harder Homes paying more where offshore buyers driving prices up

R OYA L

By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

TransLink’s property taxes are taking a deeper bite from

Metro Vancouver home owners in parts of the region where real estate prices are being rapidly bid up by an influx of foreign

buyers.

TransLink’s board last week approved property tax rates that will see the average home pay the trans-

portation authority an extra $4.16 this year, or a total of $228.21.

That’s based on the average 2011 residential property assessment of $652,000 – which climbed 10.7 per cent from a year ago.

But property values are rising at different rates in different cities around the region and homes in supercharged markets will pay considerably more.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the authority tries to strike a balance but must apply the same residential tax rate consistently across the region – this year it’s $0.35 per $1,000 assessed value.

Richmond has seen median house prices spike to more than $1 million in recent months amid a surge of interest from mainland Chinese buyers.

That activity isn’t yet fully reflected in the assessed value, which this year rose 17 per cent on average in Richmond based on assessments as of last July.

But a house in the city’s Broadmoor area

that climbed 21 per cent in assessment from $1 million to $1.21 million will pay nearly $425 to TransLink this year, up from about $380 a year ago.

“It’s going to affect homeowners in Richmond, so that’s a concern,” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said.

The dynamic is similar in Tsawwassen, where many assessments rose at least 17 per cent, as well as Vancouver, where a typical west side house on a 50-foot residential lot jumped 27 per cent from $1.84 million to $2.33 million.

“We’ve been concerned for some time about the continued and increasing use of property taxes by TransLink,” Brodie said.

The appointed TransLink board, which meets behind closed doors, is empowered by the province to collect up to three per cent more each year in property taxes without seeking approval of the region’s mayors council.

This year’s increase raises the tax take

from the average home by 1.86 per cent and from the average business by 1.95 per cent, with the additional revenue to the three per cent limit coming from new construction.

The board can ask for higher property taxes beyond inflation to fund expansion plans, but only with the mayors’ approval.

Mayors last December rejected a board request for such an increase to pay TransLink’s share of the Evergreen Line costs.

It would have raised the average home’s TransLink tax by at least $35 per year.

Talks have now resumed between the mayors and the province in a search for alternative funding sources, many of which may tap motorists rather than property owners. The cities continue to take the position TransLink property tax can’t go any higher.

TransLink will take in a total of $297 million in property taxes this year, its thirdhighest source after transit fares of $432 million and fuel taxes of $324 million.
