Longtime city tenant refuses to go

‘THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE CITY WANTS PEOPLE TO LIVE’

Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby resident Jim Sharp says he has lived in a duplex at 4384 Ledger Ave. for the past 20 years without a problem. So he was dismayed to receive an eviction notice from the City of Burnaby as soon as it bought the home, in September. “They immediately just declared that they were going to demolish it,” he said, adding all the tenants in the home, which had been turned into an illegal fourplex by the previous owner, were given two month’s notice. Tenants were given the month of November rent-free, to help with moving expenses, according to the city’s building manager. Sharp has been employed off and on for the past 10 years, since getting laid off from a sawmill, he said. He’s had to go on social assistance. “It’s something I thought would never happen,” Sharp said. He also gets some money from Worker’s Eviction Page 4

HOME SWEET HOME? Jim Sharp has lived in a city-owned duplex for 20 years and he’s fighting to stay there despite repeated attempts by the city to evict him.

10 deaths linked to homelessness in city Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby’s task force on homelessness is raising concerns over deaths linked to living on the streets. Since 2007, there have been more than 10 people in Burnaby who have died prematurely as a result of issues related to health and homelessness, according to Wanda Mulholland of the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness. “It is horrible, and that’s the reality of what you’re dealing with,” Mulholland said. “Sometimes when you talk about stats

and numbers – that’s all important, but we’re talking about real people.” According to Mulholland, each person’s situation was unique, but all died under the age of 65 and had been homeless for a period of time. Out of the 10 deaths Mulholland cited, she said the most recent was a couple of months ago. “These local tragedies raise concerns about the health risks associated with homelessness and the crucial need for improved services,” she said. Mulholland volunteers as a receptionist with the Progressive Housing Society’s outreach resource centre. The society is a group

dedicated to helping Burnaby’s homeless population. When asked how she knew that homelessness was the cause of death, Mulholland responded: “Because I know the people, and I know that they were all homeless for periods of time.” She characterized the problem as a result of health issues worsening from living outdoors. “Being outside and not having access to medical care, ... that just makes it so much more difficult for people, and their longevity is reduced,” she said. According to Mulholland, physical assaults, drugs and alcohol issues are factors that can become fatal if left untreated.

“We want to raise awareness of the severity of this issue,” she said. “It’s very tragic, and it’s the final example of the toll that homelessness and lack of services causes.” Mulholland cited research, which states people who are dealing with homelessness are eight times more likely to get sick and die, seven times more likely to have alcohol problems and five times more likely to be admitted to hospital and stay longer as compared to the general population. According to the 2008 Metro Vancouver Deaths Page 4

Heritage gate saved in city restoration plans Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The gateway to Altnadene will be restored as part of the city’s conservation efforts at Deer Lake Park. City council approved plans for three heritage conservation plans for the park at Monday night’s meeting. The city’s community heritage commission put forward the plans, to be completed by the end of 2011. The gate and wall for the W. J. Mathers estate, also known as Altnadene, is moving closer to the home and will be restored. “It’s a better setting,” said Jim Wolf, the city’s heritage planner, adding that the gate is currently right by Canada Way. “At present it does look rather neglected.” Currently a portion of the gate and wall are buried under three or four feet of fill, he explained, and the gate cannot be restored where it is, because of its proximity to the road. “We always planned to move it away from the road,” Wolf said. Council approved a cost of up to $175,000, to be paid from the city’s gaming funds, for the project. The provincial government has agreed to make a financial contribution to the project, provided the gate and wall are relocated before March 30. Construction on Altnadene began in 1912. The granite capstone wall and wrought iron gates surrounded the front garden and terraced lawns of the mansion,

according to a report from the commission. The building was acquired by the city to be part of the Burnaby Arts Centre in 1971. The basement and foundation of the Mathers House was upgraded, with that project wrapping up in 2007. Exterior renovation of the house is a first phase design project in Burnaby’s provisional 2011 Capital Plan. A building on the city’s property at Deer Lake is also up for restoration. The garage and stables connected to the Ceperley estate, also known as Fairacres, is slated for an exterior renovation that would bring it more in line with the heritage elements at the park, according to Wolf. “It’s a well-preserved building,” he said, adding it hasn’t been altered since the city acquired it in 1966. As the building is in need of a new roof, it seemed like a good time to restore the rest of the exterior as well, Wolf said. “We looked at it as an opportunity to enhance the heritage quality of the building,” he said. The building is currently used for storage by the city, and a portion of it has been leased to Burnaby’s division of Scouts Canada since the ‘60s. This year marks the centennial of the Fairacres estate, which was built in 1911. Council approved up to $75,000 to go towards the project, also from the city’s gaming funds.

Gate expectations: The gateway to the W.J. Mathers estate, better known as Altnadene, will be restored as part of the city’s conservation efforts at Deer Lake Park.

Council also approved an adaptive reuse study of Deerholme, the Townley estate at 6110 Price St., by Deer Lake Park. The city has leased out the home for 20 years, Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the commission, said. She added it has been kept up well over that time. The property is currently vacant, according to the commission. The city acquired Deerholme in 1979.

It was built to be the retirement estate of Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Owen Townley and his wife Frances in 1913, designed by their son, Fred Laughton Townley. The city is looking at public use options for the estate, and has agreed to commission a heritage consultant to undertake a B.C. Building Code Review of the home. twitter.com/janayafe

Eviction: ‘The house needs to be demolished’ continued from page 1

WorkSafe B.C. for an injury to his hands that occurred at the sawmill, he added. The rent for his suite was $375, which he could afford with his income. But finding something comparably priced has proved difficult, he said. “I’m trying to get out of here,” he said, “but it’s really hard.” Sharp sent a letter to the city saying he was having trouble finding housing at the end of October, but was told he was given sufficient notice and was expected to be out by the end of November. Sharp went to the Residential Tenancy office, which served the city with a notice of dispute resolution on Nov. 29. A hearing was scheduled for Dec. 13. He argued that he couldn’t find a place, and asked that the eviction and demolition of the home be set aside. The city offered to extend his eviction notice to the end of January, provided he pay rent for those months, according to city property manager Shirley Brightman.

“We felt it was inappropriate to displace him just before Christmas,” she said in a phone interview. The dispute resolution officer ruled in the city’s favour. The city was granted an Order of Possession, which could be served to the tenant if the December and January rent was not paid, or if he did not move out of the residence on January 31 as required by the agreement reached between the Residential Tenancy Branch and the city. By Feb. 2, Sharp had still not left the property, she said, and the front yard was full of junk. At this point, the city served the order of possession document to Sharp, which gave him 48 hours to vacate. Sharp informed the city that he was suffering from ill health. He was hospitalized on Boxing Day with heart palpitations and a heart arrhythmia, according to Sharp, which he believes was brought on by the stress of his living and employment situation. He had returned home a week-and-a-

half before he received the notice to vacate, he said. The city waited until after the weekend of Feb. 5 to check the home again, to give Sharp a few extra days, according to Brightman. As of Feb. 7, he was still in the house. Sharp went to B.C. Legal Aid, and has had a lawyer corresponding with the city on his behalf. The most recent offer from the city is that Sharp can have until mid-March to vacate the premises, provided he pay rent for February and half of March, and that he clean up the yard immediately. He has since sent a payment for February, and has notified the city through his lawyer that he is trying to secure the payment for March. The lawyer also told the city he is planning to clean up the yard. A private landlord would have acted on the notice of possession long before now, Brightman pointed out. “I think the city has been very accommodating,” she said, adding that the situation has come to a point where Sharp needs to

accept the Residential Tenancy office’s ruling, and find a new home. The home is in very poor condition, Brightman said, and the city cannot run it as an illegal fourplex, as the former owners had. “The house needs to be demolished,” she said. “This is not the way the city wants people to live.” There are no immediate plans to develop the property after the demolition, she said. The city owns and rents approximately 160 homes in Burnaby, though that number can fluctuate, Brightman added. As for Sharp, he has been trying to find a home through B.C. Housing’s Seniors’ Supportive Housing program, but there is a three-month waitlist, he said. He is looking into staying with a friend until he can find permanent housing that he can afford, Sharp added. He was hoping the city could put him into another of its houses, but has not been offered a unit through the municipality, or help finding a place, he said. twitter.com/janayafe

Homeless Count, in Burnaby, 90 per cent of people who were homeless had at least one health condition, half had two or more health conditions, 41 per cent had both a mental illness and an addiction, and 38 per cent had both a physical disability and a mental illness with or without an addiction. The most common health conditions for the homeless are dental problems, diabetes, foot problems, high blood pressure, HIV/AIDS, lung disease, malnutrition, physical disabilities, skin problems and tuberculosis. There are an estimated 250 people in Burnaby who are dealing with homelessness. While there is an extreme weather emergency shelter that opens periodically, the city has no permanent, year-round shelter. To help ameliorate the problem, Mulholland would like to see housing and support services, which include treatment and medical care. “We need a continuum of housing. The shelter is only one piece. The shelter is the short-term housing that’s the beginning,” she said. “From there, it’s supportive housing with access to treatment and then transitional housing to something that’s more longer-term.” Mulholland said the task force is committed to working with all levels of government, business, and social service agencies to make that happen. Mayor Derek Corrigan found it surprising that that many people would have died as a result of living on the street. “I’m not doubting that (Mulholland) has some evidence she can come to the provincial government with. I think it’s a pretty damning situation. Unfortunately, those people don’t have social workers. For some reason the provincial government doesn’t feel it’s necessary to provide social workers for people who are homeless and in distress,” he said. “What’s left is small, not-for profit agencies like Progressive, with boards of good-hearted volunteers, that are left to do the provincial government’s work. It’s inexcusable.” Corrigan said he has “complained bitterly” that the province is simply not doing a good enough job in providing facilities for homeless people. He agreed with the idea of more services for homeless people, but not an emergency shel-

elephant in the corner. And can anyone take a budget seriously that doesn’t delve into potential HST outcomes? What is in the budget includes a high level of debt, much of it associated with capital projects brought on in the name of economic stimulation. Most notable, however, is about $2.5 billion in “wiggle room” or “flexible funding” for the new Liberal leader to allocate over the next three years. That

amounts to a significant slush fund for the yet-unnamed leader. Of course this “holding” budget may yet turn out to share features of past February budgets that later proved light on fiscal reality and were revised into wholly new “updates” six months later. For that, and for news on where about $1 billion of taxpayer funding is headed in the next year, stay tuned not to the legislature but to the Liberal leadership race.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor:

I recently took the opportunity to visit some local businesses in the Heights that have been affected by the City’s decision to close a parkade on McDonald Street. I must confess it was the first time I had set foot in these shops, but I was impressed by the high quality of the products and the competitive prices. It was also dismaying to see how few customers there were late in the morning. Before the advent of shopping malls, Walmarts, Starbucks and Costcos, residents of the Heights supported these businesses well. Ironically, as the population densifies and street traffic increases these same businesses are in decline. As I understand the situation, the parkade was

costing the City about $20,000 a year for repair and clean up. The shops claim that business has dropped off significantly since the closure. It seems like a reasonable compromise to have the parkade open during business hours. Generally, those who would tend to sleep in a parking lot would not do so in a busy parkade in the daytime. In addition, signs could be displayed with a contact number for users of the parkade to report suspicious activities. Too often, people who witness suspicious behaviours are reluctant to do anything because they don’t know who to call and feel no one will respond. It is the responsibility of all of us to take an interest in keeping our community safe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Closing the gate would help continued from page 6

At the end of the day, it would take little time or effort for the local merchants to inspect the parkade and close the gate. These small businesses that have served the neighbourhood for generations deserve the opportunity to succeed, for once these shops disappear, they will be lost forever. Ultimately, all of us need to rethink how and where we shop if we truly desire sustainable and caring communities. Rick McGowan Burnaby

It’s all in your mind, man Dear Editor:

Re: Live and let live, Editor’s letter, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 19 and Fighting the stigma of mental illness, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 19 Yes, indeed, mental aberrations are a major problem and already well beyond control. However, articles that you, Jennifer (Moreau) and many others write relative to “fighting the stigma” and putting them under the umbrella of “human rights” is a cop-out that does nothing to help the unfortunate individuals and, in effect, muzzles any seeking for the basic, provable answer to such problems. It should be recognized that human mind is the only consciously creative power in this life, there is no universal power that can or does intervene, despite many religious beliefs. Yes, there is a basic, provable answer to every human problem which revolves around properly understanding: What is mind? How is it created and what is its purpose while living?

It is pure and simple ignorance of human mind that creates every human problem including sickness, disease, murders, suicides, mental deviations, hate, greed, anger and warfare, etc. Humanity creates its own problems and will never solve them until it finds that key which is readily available to all who ask, seek and ask questions.

Libs still using PIN voting

Dear Editor: In 1993, the Gordon Campbell operatives persuaded the B.C. Liberal executives to make several rule changes that gave Campbell the party leadership. One change allowed the vote counting to be changed from constituency by constituency in favour one-member-one-vote plus counting all votes equally. That decision alone resulted in Campbell grabbing the brass ring. Another was the “tele-vote” method of casting votes enabling members to purchase a personal identification number and phone in their preference for leader. Problem was this system eliminated the necessary papertrail for scrutineers to keep track of where the votes wound up. There were, indeed, funny things happening, as one candidate supporter said. It appears that the B.C. Liberals haven’t learned anything from that mess because the PIN system is being employed at the Feb. 26 leadership joust. When I asked if a vote counting papertrail would be operational, the answer was “don’t know.” Brian J. O’Neill, Burnaby

Clark: Front-runner so far continued from page 6

well be true that very few people supporting other candidates end up making their second-best choice. But her front-runner status is why we are seeing, in the last weeks of the campaign, an attempt to forge a not-so-subtle ABC (Anyone But Clark) front in the party. Abbott and Falcon will likely try to send messages to each other’s supporters (and to de Jong’s as well) to make them the second choice, and not Clark. But the unique electoral system the party is using will make it more difficult for the ABC movement to pick up steam. The main impediment is the fact that everyone votes once

and sits back and watches candidates drop, and the second-choices get redistributed (and, in certain scenarios, third choices as well, but I’m not going to get into the intricacies of that). So there’s no chance for a dropped candidate to turn to his supporters and lead them over to another candidate, as can happen at delegated conventions. That sort of thing can build momentum for the candidate getting that kind of push, but it won’t happen here. But there is one aspect of this electoral system that may be the great equalizer and may be Abbott and/or Falcon’s best way of beating Clark:

the vital need for the winning candidate to identify supporters, and then getting them to actually vote. Clark can be tracking high in the polls, but if her team does not identify its supporters and get them to vote in sufficient numbers, the stage will be set for Abbott or Falcon to leapfrog her on the third count. But I’m not betting against her (or on her either; the second-choice element makes things too unpredictable). In any event, the winner will be announced at 6:30 this Saturday evening (tune into Global as we’ll be covering it live). Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

HEART HEALTH

‘It was a cold that wouldn’t go away’ Teenager was misdiagnosed several times before doctors realized just how ill she was Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Kathryne Lumanta was a healthy, active 17year-old when she first became ill in September of 2008. “I had a cold that just wouldn’t go away,” she says in a phone interview from her Burnaby home. “The coughing wouldn’t stop.” By April 2009, Kathryne would need openheart surgery. The cold continued until she became very ill while on vacation in Winnipeg in February. She was unable to breath while lying down, she says, and went to the hospital. She was told she had pneumonia and sent home. She was not given any tests. When she returned to Vancouver, another doctor told her she had bronchitis. But Kathryne persisted, going to a medical clinic where a doctor sent her for blood tests, at the end of March 2009. “After the tests the clinic called and said, come to us as soon as possible,” Kathryne says. She was informed that her heart was severely enlarged and also had a heart murmur. Kathryne had a hole in her heart as a baby, she says, and was told that while that normally grows over, in her case it hadn’t. She was also told that she had pulmonary edema, with her lungs completely filled with blood, she says. She was put on medication to flush out her lungs and was sent to a cardiologist at Burnaby Hospital. “He didn’t take it seriously,” she says, noting that during this time she often encountered medical professionals who dismissed her symptoms because she was so young and healthy. Kathryne had lost 25 to 30 pounds in one month, she says, and was sure there was something seriously wrong. She was given an echocardiogram. The results dismayed the radiologist, Kathryne says. “She didn’t know what she was looking at,” she says. “She had been doing her job for 20 years and had never seen anything like this.” She was sent upstairs to a room right by the nurses’ station, she says, adding she found out later those rooms are for the sickest people in the ward, the ones the nurses have to keep a close eye on. She was given another echocardiogram, which showed that there was a rupture in her heart – Kathryne had an aneurism that burst inward, in her aortic valve. She had to have open-heart surgery, but the heart surgeon informed her mother that the surgery had never been done before, and someone else would have to do it. Dr. Hilton Ling performed the surgery on April 24. “I remember waking up in the ICU, hooked up to a bunch of machines,” Kathryne says of her experience after the surgery was completed. She was put on Aspirin to thin her blood, and sent home. However, two days after being on the blood thinners, she had a four-hour nosebleed and had to return to the hospital. Kathryne had her nose cauterized and was sent home again. A month later, she contracted an intense

Close calls: Kathryne Lumanta had open-heart surgery twice in one year to resolve heart problems.

fever, and discovered she had a kidney infection. She went back to the hospital and was put on antibiotics for 10 days. “I was feeling a bit better but I was still getting chest pains,” Kathryne says. She was sent to a cardiologist at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver who dismissed the pains, saying he had them himself after his heart surgery. But Kathryne was convinced something was wrong, and got a new cardiologist, who heard a slight murmur in her heart. She had to have a second open-heart surgery on Nov. 10, 2009. The surgery was hard on her body, and she lost a lot of blood, Kathryne says. “They had a hard time getting my heart to beat again.” The summer following her second surgery, Kathryne did the Grouse Grind three times. “It was very liberating, especially with what I went through,” she says, adding she did a lot of biking in the spring. She is living with her family in Burnaby, and

has had support from family and close friends during her recovery, she says. She plans to go to university to study biology, she says, adding she’s interested in the medical field. Kathryne’s lifestyle hasn’t changed much during her recovery. She has stopped eating certain foods, such as oils. But she was always a healthy person, something she feels made diagnosing her more of a challenge. She wants other people, especially young women, to be especially aware of any health issues and advocate for themselves when necessary. “No one’s going to know their body better than them,” she says. “They should see a doctor as soon as they think something is wrong.” Kathryne is volunteering with the B.C. and Yukon chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, speaking to patients about what to expect from open heart surgery, and doing online canvassing for the foundation. February is Heart Month in B.C. For more information, go to www.heartandstroke.bc.ca.

Many are in denial While Canadians are aware that nine out of 10 adults have a least one risk factor for heart disease and stroke, 90 per cent also believe themselves to be healthy, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The information is from a poll recently conducted by the foundation. “Canadians know what to do to live healthier, longer lives,” said Dr. Beth Abramson, cardiologist and spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, in a press release. “But there’s a huge disconnect between what we think we are doing to address our risk factors and reality.” A third of Canadians said they weren’t physically active or didn’t eat a minimum of five servings of vegetables and fruit per day, but data from the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey indicates 48 per cent of Canadians are inactive and 54 per cent don’t eat five servings of fruit and vegetables daily. Those amounts were slightly different in Fraser North, the health region Burnaby is located in. In Fraser North, 44.3 per cent of people were inactive and 52.7 per cent of those surveyed in the region did not eat five servings of vegetables and fruit per day. While 18 per cent of Canadians said they were obese in the foundation’s poll, the data from the survey indicates 24 per cent of Canadians suffer from obesity. “We are overestimating our healthy behaviours and underestimating our tendency to be couch potatoes,” Abramson said. The rate of obesity in the Fraser North region was much lower than the national average, at 13 per cent. According to the foundation, inactivity and obesity can each take nearly four years off an expected lifespan. – Janaya Fuller-Evans

istory can be both good and bad for a business. A long and cherished history means customers come in with a warm-and-fuzzy feel-good disposition and it’s not too tough to have a good time. But a less-than-distinguished history means some people never forget what happened at a place, no matter if there are new owners, new renovations or even a new name. But go to the Admiral Pub and Grill at 4125 East Hastings St. in the heart of North Burnaby and bar manager Rolf Ragnvaldsen will be the first to tell you that the old North Burnaby Inn is long gone, but not forgotten. “We still get people asking where the strippers are,” the big Norwegian said with a laugh. “But we tell them they’ve been gone for eight years or more and people are amazed how fast time has flown by.” The transformation of the pub and the adjoining Howard Johnson Boutique Hotel is the work of Imperial Hospitality’s owner and director, Amir Sadath. Sadath has been in the hospitality industry for almost three decades and beneath the quiet and polite exterior is a leader with a vision. “We want to be the best in everything we do,” said Sadath. “That means the best food, the best entertainment, the best boutique hotel experience.” And if those goals seem awfully high, Sadath has the awards to show you. The hotel was recently voted the fourth best Howard Johnson in the world and best in Canada. The interactive surveys that all guests get are copied directly to Sadath so if there is a problem, he knows about it personally. At the restaurant, which can seat almost 250 people and features huge and separate dining areas suitable for parties or gatherings, Ragnvaldsen is like a gentle giant who listens to all his customer’s stories and is able to help with almost anything.

Chef George Wong has put together a varied and interesting menu that is easy on the pocketbook and high in the taste department. With the HST hitting all restaurants hard, Sadath has added more specials to keep the volume up. For example, pasta dishes are 50 per cent off during the weekday lunch period of 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and all day Thursday. The other food specials include a traditional turkey dinner on Monday for $5.99, fish and chips for $5.99 on Tuesday, a can’tbe-beat $4.99 roast beef dinner on Wednesday night and $2.99 burgers from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday. Sadath said providing a great dining experience was important, not just for the regulars, but for hotel guests. “We work very hard on the food side, with Rolf and George always looking to make things better,” said Sadath. “Our goal is to be the best.” On a recent weekday, while I sat down with the three men for lunch, we were able to sample four of the best dishes at the Admiral Pub and Grill. We actually started out with the weekender breakfast ($6.50), which features two eggs, any style, with your choice of ham, bacon or sausage. It also includes the delectable potato cakes you won’t find in many other places.

“I love how George makes his eggs,” said Ragnvaldsen as he enjoyed his late breakfast. I couldn’t get enough of the potato cakes, simply because they were crunchy without being too oily. Breakfast is only available on the weekend but if you ask Ragnvaldsen nicely, he might be able to get Wong to cook some up for you on a weekday. Next up was the $14.95 appetizer sampler platter for two to four people. Featuring chicken tenders, pork bites, chicken wings, potato skins and seasoned fries, the platter has a little something for everybody. I preferred the chicken tenders – no bones means faster eating – and the pork bites, leaving Sadath and Ragnvaldsen to fight over the wings, skins and fries. There was so much on the plate that when we couldn’t finish, Ragnvaldsen took what was left and distributed it to some of the regulars at the bar. “They’ll finish it off, no worries about that,” said the friendly bar manager. Next up was the 10ounce New York steak ($15.95), which also includes garlic toast, mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Cooked to a juicy medium-rare, the steak was some of Wong’s best handiwork.

FLEXIBILITY CAN BE ACHIEVED ANYWHERE Stretching and ﬂexibility exercises come in many different forms, from yoga to simple stretches. For the best results, you should stretch daily. The beauty of stretching is it can be done anywhere and you don’t need any special equipment. Yoga is a fantastic way to stretch and restore the body. Try attending yoga classes or follow a yoga DVD at home. Here is a simple stretch routine to do each day: Neck and shoulder stretch: Either standing or seated, tilt your head to one side taking your ear to your shoulder until you feel a gentle stretch along the side of the neck. Repeat to the other side. Seated chest and shoulder

stretch: Either standing or seated, take both hands behind your back and interlace the ﬁngers. Lift the arms up until you feel a stretch across the front of the shoulders. Kneeling spine stretch: On your hands and knees, round your back, curving the spine to the ceiling; then slowly lower the back and arch it gently. Low lunge: From kneeling, step one foot forward into a lunge, placing the front shinbone in a vertical line with the toes pointing forward. The back leg moves forward until you feel the front to the thigh stretch. Repeat on the other leg. Lying hamstring stretch: Lying on your back with your legs straight, hug one knee to your chest

and slowly extend it straight up until you feel a stretch along the muscles of the back of the leg. Repeat on the other leg. Lying spine rotation: Lying on your back, bend one knee into your chest and bring it across your body to rotate the spine to one side. Repeat on the other leg. When doing these stretches, take the muscle to a point of mild tension and hold for one minute. Slowly release the stretch and move to the next stretch or the other side of the body.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE BURNABY NOW

Balance is key to family ﬁtness A CHALLENGE BECOMES A MOTIVATION When one family underwent a home-building project to put in a bar downstairs, they never thought they would be renovating their life. But that’s what the Karras family found, after a bar project turned on the taps of lifestyle choices that led to more balance and better ﬁtness. Stan Karras, 43, said things got a bit comfortable when he and his wife had two daughters, now six and eight years old, and they settled into the frenetic life of parenthood. “We’re not different than 95 per cent of families out there,” Karras said, adding they all used to lead a more active life. “You get involved in so many things, and just get exhausted. We ended up pulling them out of everything.” But last fall, as Karras and his wife surveyed the room where they were putting a bar, the pair realized they would have to put the exercise equipment they had into storage to make way for additional seating.

The irony of the situation was unsettling for the father of two. “All it was doing was drying clothes, so I started dismantling this universal gym I had,” he said. “As I put it away, something struck me as being fundamentally wrong with taking something down that’s healthy for you to create room for something that’s not necessarily good for you. “I wondered what kind of example that was setting for the kids.” He dropped by Fitness Town to see what type of equipment he could get that might fit in with the new design, settling on some adjustable weights. While there, one of the staffers told him about a family fitness challenge they were holding. “At first I signed up thinking I was never going to do it, but I wanted to be polite,” he chuckles, describing how the idea grew on him. “One day, I said, ‘To heck with it, I’m going to do this.’” When he approached the other

members of his family about it, he realized that he not only had cheerleaders but team members as well. “I slowly got the kids involved, and they just jumped all over it. They thought it was a blast,” he said. “Children, all they want to do is hang out and play. Fitness is not work to them, it’s something that’s fun. You’re hanging out with your dad, you’re hanging out with your mom.”

They incorporated exercise into their lives every day: taking the dog for a walk, going swimming and taking taekwondo — all family activities they could do together. “We weren’t working out very hard, but we were doing something every day,” he said. They also embraced healthy cooking, experimenting with recipes and incorporating more salads into meals. He began documenting their

progress on a blog called Fit Forties Father (www. ﬁtfortiesfather.blogspot.com), and extended family and friends began cheering the foursome on. “It was a little bit embarrassing, because I don’t really like attention, but the kids loved it. They would help me write things out,” he said. At the end of the day, Karras lost 12 pounds and won the challenge — meaning $5,000 in

ﬁtness equipment to keep them moving. The family increased their energy levels, and Karras said the real prize is being able to enjoy the pace of their new life. “We’ve limited the kids to two extra curricular activities. That will keep them involved, that will give them good family time and it won’t burn us out,” he said. “It’s all in moderation and learning a healthy lifestyle.” – BURNABY NOW

Planning tips for a financially secure retirement By: Sarah Twomey When people think about retirement planning, they tend to focus on retirement savings and RRSPs. This is not surprising because it’s hard to imagine what life might be like in 20 or 30 years. But there’s more to retirement planning than just saving money. For example, some new retirees are caught off guard when they realize that they are no longer covered by their group insurance coverage. One way to avoid these types of surprises is by thinking ahead.

Disability insurance

Typically, disability insurance is not required in retirement because your income is savings and/or pension-based. However, it may be useful for those people who decide to take partial retirement and work part time.

Life insurance

Most retirees don’t require basic life insurance because the children have grown, they are likely debt-free and have some savings. However, there are life insurance products that are ideal for estate and tax planning.

New retirees may have the option of converting their group life insurance into permanent individual coverage. This option is usually available during the first 30 days following the end of employment, before the retiree turns

65. While this is an ideal solution because an insurability evaluation isn’t necessary.

Health insurance Health and accident insurance becomes increasingly important during retirement. Some provinces have implemented public drug insurance plans, but then may include a large annual deductible or may only be available to low-income participants. By contrast, there are a wide variety of private supplemental health insurance providers. Since each policy offering is different, it’s important to do your research. - News Canada

SAFER makes rent more affordable for B.C. seniors Make your rent more affordable The Province of British Columbia provides SAFER subsidies to more than 15,000 senior households renting apartments in the private market across BC.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? You may be eligible for SAFER if you meet all of the following conditions:

- You are 60 or older. - You have lived in British Columbia for the full 12 months immediately preceding your application.

- You and your spouse (with whom you are living) meet one of the following citizenship requirements: Canadian citizen(s); or authorized to take up permanent residence in Canada; or Convention refugee(s).

- You pay more than 30 per cent of your gross (before tax) monthly

household income towards the rent for your home, including the cost of pad rental for a manufactured home (trailer) that you own and occupy.

If you are eligible, SAFER may subsidize part of the rent that is over 30 per cent of your income. To find out more about SAFER, including application forms, visit www.bchousing.org or call 604-433-2218 from Metro Vancouver or 1-800-257-7756 from elsewhere in B.C.

When the company Bonita was working for in 2007 had to downsize, e_b e_bT `UWZbVRWS]c Sa[db \SR^bR was given a lay-off notice. Thankfully, she had a few cushions to help tide her over: severance pay; employment assistance; and her RRSPs. She had also recently started to receive a monthly rent subsidy through Shelter Aid For Elderly Renters (SAFER). The provincial government program helps make rents affordable for B.C. seniors with low to moderate incomes. SAFER provides monthly cash payments for eligible seniors age 60 or over who pay rent for their homes. Because SAFER subsidies are calculated to give the most assistance to people with the least income, Bonita saw her subsidy increase when her other sources of income decreased. “For three years I had CPP, plus some money from dog and house sitting and acting as an extra in the movies while I looked for part-time work,” she said. “The SAFER subsidy made my rent more affordable and meant I didn’t have to move from my apartment.” Bonita is now employed at Walmart where she began as a greeter and is currently a cashier. BC Housing provides SAFER subsidies to more than 15,000 senior households renting apartments in the private market, including singles, couples and people sharing a unit.

Seniors are taking control of their own immunity Once we reach 60, special attention is needed to keep our immune system working properly, health specialists say.

By paying attention to nutrition, seniors can go a long way towards keeping infections away. On the other hand, neglected nutrition may make contact with germs much worse. “As we age, it becomes harder for the immune system to fight off even just cold and flu viruses,” says Sherry Torkos, pharmacist and author of the Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. “Immunology is a broad field of study and researchers continue to explore reasons our immune systems weaken. Some think the body becomes less able to produce the cells that fight off illness. Others point to the fact that seniors often eat less, which deprives the body of the nutrients needed to keep their immune systems strong. It is a fact that many older people are undernourished, and this lack of important vitamins and minerals could be the reason

for vulnerability to chronic illness and disease.”

Immune-building tips

• Pay attention to food. Although there isn’t one food that will provide an instant boost to your immune system, developing the habit of eating a balanced, healthy diet with antioxidant-rich fresh fruit and vegetables, lean proteins and fibre will support good health. • Consider dietary supplements to complement your diet. Many seniors can

benefit from taking daily vitamins and minerals. There are also specific supplements for supporting immune health. • Establish a regular sleeping pattern. A full eight hours rejuvenates the mind and replenishes the body. • Nurture your social life. Loneliness and depression pose serious challenges to the immune system. Seniors who are active, productive, mentally stimulated and socially engaged enjoy better health and longevity. - News Canada

The Burnaby South Rebels left little doubt who the best AAA boys’ basketball team in the district is. The Rebels struck early and often, putting league runner-up Byrne Creek in trouble from the opening tipoff in an eventual 85-45 victory at South in the Burnaby/New Westminster district hoop final Friday. The No. 1-ranked Rebels led 17-8 after the first 10 minutes and by 16 points at the half, but the crushing blow came in the third quarter when South overwhelmed the visiting Bulldogs 32-13. “We didn’t execute,” were the only words Byrne Creek senior Paul Mallari could find to describe the outcome. South showed clear dominance everywhere on the court, forcing Byrne Creek guards into repeated turnovers off the dribble. “You can’t beat (South) with ratball basketball,” said Byrne Creek head coach Wayne Best. “It just won’t happen.” South started its senior class, but put Byrne Creek in trouble with 10 points off the bench in the first quarter. The Rebels got balanced scoring from eight players in the opening half, while the Bulldogs managed just four baskets from three separate players in the same alotted time. Then in the third quarter, the Rebel juggernaut got going behind a 15-point contribution, including a pair of three-pointers and five-for-five free throws, from Grade 11 post Nic

Irvine. Irvine led all scorers with 24 points. Daniel Edwards pitched in with 19 points and Jok Malek added 14, including a handful of breakaway dunks that excited the capacity crowd at South. South also made the Bulldogs pay at the foul line, netting 20-of-23 free throws in the second half alone. Kennedy George led Byrne Creek with 11 points. South head coach Greg Matic said the Rebel players really responded well to the hype of the crowd. “We always stress the first five minutes of the second half to set the level of intensity and basically take over the control of the game,” Matic said. “Our defensive pressure was one of our better defensive performances of the year.” Both South and Byrne Creek qualified for the Lower Mainland tournament later this week. Byrne Creek will host Winston Churchill Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. South will host the winner of Point Grey/David Thompson on Thursday, also at 7:30 p.m. In the consolation final for the third available Mainland berth, the New Westminster Hyacks shook off a slow start and cruised to a 70-46 win over the Burnaby Central Wildcats. Central opened with an 11-1 run, but New Westminster quickly got its legs beneath them to finish the quarter leading 18-16. Masood Wali led all scorers with 21 points, including four treys. Central guard Miguel Alina replied with 20 points for the ‘Cats.

Ditrocchio was taken to the ground early in the fight and weathered three consecutive body slams, before subduing Rob Woodcock with an arm bar in

the first round to win the local MMA title in the co-main event. In the other main event, Murray Sogan defeated Andrew Small for the West Coast lightweight MMA title. Sogan beat Small on a technical knockout at 1:32 of the fourth round. Oliver Vajda beat James Pratt on a decision for the bantamweight title.

Team B.C. won its first gold medal in more than 30 years in boys’ hockey at the Canada Winter Games. B.C., including Northwest Giants major midget players Sam Reinhart and Jackson Houck, helped the provincial under-16 squad capture its first-ever gold at the Halifax Games Feb. 18. B.C. last won a gold medal using a team of junior B players back in 1979. B.C. defeated the previously unbeaten Quebec team 7-4 in the championship final. Nic Petan of Delta tallied the eventual game-winning goal with his fourth point of the night, giving B.C. a 5-4 lead with just five minutes left in the game. B.C. team captain Curtis Lazar tallied a pair of markers in the championship game to lead all scorers at the Games with 12 goals and 17 total points. Petan was third in overall scoring, while Reinhart finished in a tie for fourth with four goals, including the 4-2 goal in the championship final, and 11 points. A day after the game, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced Petan’s stick used to score the gamewinner, Lazar’s helmet and Houck’s pant shells will be put on display at the Toronto hockey shrine. B.C. had a slow start to the competition, finishing third in Pool A with a 1-2 record behind both Quebec and Ontario. The B.C. boys opened Gold Page 21

SFU ATHLETICS

Clan women second at first NCAA championships The Simon Fraser University track and field teams proved their quality against quantity at the Great Northwest conference indoor championships Saturday. The Clan women won six of 11 finals at their first-ever NCAA championship meet hosted by Northwest Nazarene University in Idaho to finish runner-up to Seattle Pacific in overall team standings. The SFU men’s team placed fifth behind male athlete of the meet winner Andrew Boss. Boss won two individual events, taking top spot in both the 200 and 400 metres. The Port Coquitlam runner set a new meet record in the 200m, beating Western Washington’s Alex Tilley by half a second in a new mark of 21.84. Jane Channell also won two individual races for the Clan. Channell won the 60m in a time of 7.81, while also taking first in the 200m with a 25.57 clocking.

SFU’s Helen Crofts broke a meet record in the women’s 400m. Crofts, who typically races at longer middle distances, shattered the previous record by more than six-tenths of a second, winning in a time of 55.90. Brianna Kane won the 800m in a time of 2:14.58, while sister Michaela was fourth. Jessica Smith won a confusing mile race, which saw the final lap bell sounded one lap too soon. Crofts, Smith, Brianna Kane and Burnaby’s Emma Vogt easily won the 4x400m relay by more than five seconds. Both the men’s and women’s distance relay teams also won gold on the opening day of the competition. Rachelle Barnett placed third in the women’s high jump. She also won a bronze in the women’s pentathlon. The NAIA indoor championships are scheduled to begin on March 3.

Steelers into playoffs on hot streak Clan wrestler wins regional super heavyweight title

Tom Berridge

sports editor

ItappearstheGrandview Steelers are peaking for the playoffs. The junior B Steelers stole a 4-3 win over the firstplace Richmond Sockeyes following a shootout in their final regular season Pacific International Junior Hockey League game Sunday at Burnaby Winter Club. The win was Grandview’s sixth in seven games. The only defeat in that span came in a shootout against North Delta. Kentaro Tanaka scored the shootout winner after assisting on all three Grandview goals during regulation play. Backup David Banka was sensational in goal for the home club, stopping 44 shots, including all five attempts in the penalty shootout. Cody Rowand got the Steelers on the board first with a nifty tip-in off a Chris Busto shot in the opening period. Tanaka broke up a Richmond break and sprung Marko Gordic free for Grandview’s 2-0 goal early in the middle frame. Nicholas Gushue gave

Earlier, the Steelers locked up third place in the Tom Shaw conference with a 6-3 win in Squamish over the last-place Wolf Pack on Saturday. Tanaka again led the way with a first-star, fourpoint night, including a goal.

Busto and team captain Curtis Rocchetti both had three-point outings. Busto contributed a pair of goals, while Rocchetti potted his 19th goal of the season.

Simon Fraser University super heavyweight Gurjot Kooner won the 285-pound title at the NAIA West regional wrestling championships on Saturday. The unseeded Kooner downed Juan Enriquez of Great Falls by a 3-2 decision to take the weight class title. Kooner upset topseed Leonard Romero of Menlo College 4-1 in his semifinal bout. Arminder Virk took the silver medal at 174 lbs., following a 10-7 decision over second-seeded Max Payne of Montana

State-Northern. Third seeded Clete Hanson won his bronzemedal match at 184 lbs. after falling 6-4 to the eventual champion, Evan Hinebauch of Montana State-Northern, in the semifinals. SFU also got points from top-six finishers Alex Stemer at 149 lbs., Skylor Davis at 125 lbs. and Manvir Sahota at 197 lbs. The Clan team finished seventh overall in the regional championships, but qualified for the NAIA national championships, beginning March 3.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. 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. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
