City CRIME

Cold case still haunts those who knew Crysta

Crysta Lynn David was last seen alive at a downtown NewWestminster nightclub in March 1992 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Crysta Lynn David met up with some friends at a New West nightclub on the night of March 20, 1992. It would be the last time she was seen alive. When her grandmother, Edna Hickey, couldn’t get in touch with her, she contacted the New Westminster Police Department. Officers entered her suite and discovered the body of David, who had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Each March, David’s godmother, Lorna Darby, phones the New Westminster Police Department to see if there have been any developments in the case. “There doesn’t seem to be anything new,” she said. But Darby is encouraged by a break in an even older cold case in Vancouver, where police recently identified the remains of two children found murdered in Stanley Park in 1953. “Those two bodies in Stanley Park, they identified them after so many years,” Darby said. “The grandmother, Edna Hickey, her one goal in life was to find out who murdered Crysta. Unfortunately, she died without knowing that. I have just taken it upon myself to phone every year.” According to Darby, David had been living with her grandmother in a home near Tipperary Park until March 1, 1992, when she moved into a small basement suite in the 1100 block of Fourth Avenue. On March 10, she turned 21. She was dead less than two weeks later. “It was so hard on Edna,” Darby recalled. “She didn’t want Crysta to move out in the first place. Crysta was her baby – not her baby, but she was so close to Crysta. But Crysta wanted her inde-

pendence.” Media reports from March 1992 stated David was last seen on the evening of Friday, March 20, 1992 at a bar in downtown New West called California Dreamin’, located in the vicinity of today’s New Westminster SkyTrain station. She was found dead in her residence five days later. “The victim had arrived at the club at around 11:30 p.m. and is believed to have left at approximately 2:15 a.m.,” a New Westminster police officer told The Province newspaper at the time of her death. “The victim sat near the nightclub’s pool tables and was last seen talking to an unknown blond male towards the end of the evening.” ‘DON’T FORGET CRYSTA’ With March 2022 marking 30 years since David’s murder, Darby hopes someone may come forward with information that may help solve the case. “Where are they with it? What’s happening? Don’t forget Crysta,” she said, when asked if she has a message for police investigators. “I am just hoping that after 30 years that maybe somebody else has a conscience of knowing something.” Darby said David’s grandmother died in October 2013 never knowing who had killed her granddaughter, and David’s mother still longs for answers about her daughter’s death. “Closure,” she said. New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Sanjay Kumar said David’s murder “is very much an active and open investigation” with the department’s major crime unit. “Our detectives acknowledge that families of homicide victims will

never forget the loss of their loved one, regardless of the passage of time, and hope to one day receive news that a perpetrator has been identified and arrested,” he said in a statement to the Record. “Our major crime unit detectives haven’t forgotten about this case, and neither should the community.” The New Westminster Police Department did not respond to specific questions from the Record about the case, such as whether there have ever been suspects in David’s murder and whether DNA has been a factor in the investigation. Police ask anyone who has information about David’s murder and has not yet spoken to police to call the NWPD at 604-5255411.

City City council approves new duplex in heritage deal Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Neighbours living around a “decrepit house with a black water swimming pool” in the backyard are supportive of infill housing – but they say a duplex is taking it too far. On Monday, city council supported a heritage revitalization agreement for 102 Seventh Ave., where the applicants want to retain a 1941 heritage house that includes a rental secondary suite and build a new stratified infill duplex that faces First Street. The 6,017-square-foot corner-lot property would be subdivided into two lots, with one building on each lot, and four parking spaces built in the rear lane. Twenty-two residents addressed council at Monday night’s public hearing,

which lasted for more than three hours. Fourteen people opposed the project, including all of the speakers living in the neighbourhood, while eight speakers – including the applicant, the architect and local housing advocates – urged council to support it. Supporters said the proposal supports the city’s goal of creating infill housing as a way of increasing housing options.They said it would result in the restoration and protection of a heritage house, retain the existing two-bedroom rental secondary suite in that house and create two family units in the duplex. “The type of city that I do want NewWest to continue to be and to become is one where there is a lot more density that’s spread out throughout the city and there’s a variety of housing types within

neighbourhoods, and there is housing that is very close to parks and schools, like this proposals is,” said Brow of the Hill resident RickVugteveen. On the other side, many residents who spoke against the proposal said the new lot would be far too small to accommodate a duplex. “I’m not a NIMBY, and I don’t think my neighbours are.We have supported the laneway housing in our neighbourhood,” Allan Flemons said. “I … support secondary suites in the houses that are there. Really, I think you have to respect the people that have lived there for a long time and look at what this project is going to do with a two-storey side-by-side duplex on that lot.” Most of the neighbours voiced concerns about

traffic safety impacts associated with the placement of four parking spots – and more traffic in the lane and on a busy corner. They cited concerns about safety of children going to and from the nearby Herbert Spencer elementary. Other concerns raised by neighbours included

the number of zoning relaxations needed to facilitate the project and the lack of greenspace for families moving in to the duplex units. COUNCIL VOTE Following the public hearing, council unanimously supported the

project because it provides much-needed housing. “It’s not the kind of housing that maybe everyone is used to or it doesn’t maybe come with a back yard or with a play space for kids, but it is housing,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “And it is a different form of housing, and I am a strong advocate of all forms of housing.” Coun. Chinu Das said it was a “very, very difficult decision” to make because residents made a lot of valid points, but she would support it as it creates housing. “I do think we need to monitor the traffic safety in that area,” she said. “I do think there are some genuine concerns, and we do need to keep looking at that.” The project still requires a formal council vote for final adoption.

Letters Fix the doctor shortage Editor: As a retired 81-year-old relatively healthy male with a 79-year-old wife who has been unwell for some time, I implore the governent to make the doctor shortage concern the most serious problem we have in 2022. We, like many in the past, were blessed to have a family doctor here in New Westminster for over 30 years. At age 76 and somewhat unwell himself, he decided to retire. Like any business, I assumed that there would be a lineup of newly minted GPs ready to buy this ready-made 2,000-patient list together with a converted house for the office with unlimited street parking. But alas, our doctor said there were no buyers at any price. So he closed up and sold the house. And I want to point out that he didn’t need the money. Apparently, graduating medical students knew that they could come into society, hang up their shingle anywhere and “cherry pick their patients.” And, alternately, they could simply join a “clinic,” work three to four days a week and go golfing. Great life, eh? They could also become specialists to reduce their hours while making more money, so not nearly enough GPs. coming through the system. Now I get to the root of the problem. So our doctor had no other doctors he could refer us to and suggested we pick out one of the

“clinics” and set up a “meet-and-greet” with one of their doctors, which we did. We met with a young doctor and set up a relationship through the clinic. Not knowing much about “walk-in clinics,” our new doctor after one year was overwhelmed. And we could clearly see that, however, he never rushed us at any appointment. But he left to become a hospitalist. At that point there were no other doctors at this clinic taking on new patients, so we were put on a “list.” In the interim, they assigned us a nurse practitioner. I had to take my wife into Royal Columbian Hospital on three occasions, and each time we were told that having a nurse practitioner was not suitable to look after my wife with her weak immune system and other specific illnesses. She needed a full-fledged doctor. So now, a few days later, we were called by another new doctor hired by the clinic to get the prescriptions. We asked if he could take us on as patients. He told us that he could not. Somehow, this clinic thing got out of control and simply does not work. They also have government quotas so many close their doors just after lunch. I guess they made their money. It can’t be cost-efficient for government when we pay for just a so-called telephone cure in just a few minutes. No face-to-face contact is simply unacceptable when it comes to your health. Bill Davis

Sports New West Royals capture gold at B.C. U15 championships Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The NewWestminster Royals U15 A1 squad’s captured a provincial title after going 6-0 at the B.C. championships on the weekend. Head coach Jeff Nottingham said the team’s entire Pacific Coast League U15 A1 season was planned with the goal of getting to the B.C’s. “We played in a number of very competitive tournaments with higher ranking teams.That was just to prepare ourselves for the end result here,” he said. “We ended up being league champions, the regular season’s league champions.” After finishing the season with 13 wins, four losses and three ties in league play, the Royals headed to the playoffs,

where they finished with five wins and one loss to qualify for the provincials, held in Osoyoos last week. “We played six games in total.We went six and 0, which was awesome,” Nottingham said of the provincials. “We were the only team to go undefeated.” In the semifinal, the NewWest team played Mission – the team that had handed the squad its only loss in a regular season or a playoff game since Christmas. “But we came out for the semifinals and we really took it to them.We got up 3-0, and it ended up being 4-1,” Nottingham said. “It was quite an experience for the kids just to beat that team that they haven’t beaten, even though we only did play them once.” In the finals, the Royals

faced off against Trail. “That game started a little rough,” Nottingham said. “They scored in the first minute of the game to go up 1-0.We just plugged away and played our style, let our players do their thing.” NewWest tied the game and took the lead, holding a 4-1 lead heading into the last three minutes of regulation time. “They pulled their goalie, got two goals.That made it kind of ‘Ahhh,’” Nottingham said. “We called a timeout, settled the kids down, and once they dropped the puck, in the last minute-and-a-half, they didn’t get another shot on goal.We held on for a 4-3 win and to celebrate the championship. It was awesome.” Nottingham said the squad had four of the top five goal scorers and the

top goalie in the provincials. Team captain Oliver Nottingham led all players in the U15 A1 Tier 3 tournament with 22 points in six games, with 10 goals and 12 assists. Mitchell Nash had 16

points (eight goals and eight assists), which was good for third place in tournament scoring. Gian SinghVirk had 15 points (six goals and nine assists), placing him in fourth for scoring and assistant captain ChaseVan Dijk was

in fifth with 13 points (11 goals and two assists). With a 6-0 win record and a save percentage of 2.77%, NewWest goalie Joshua Narain ranked first among all goalies in the tournament.

The photography project showcases the beauty and resilience of LGBTQ+ people and the transformative impact their rescue dogs have on their lives. “We are very excited to bring the Don’tYou Want Me project to New Westminster and thrilled that DYWM co-founder Jack Jackson will be on site at the store on March 31, Trans Day of Visibility,” said Karima Jivraj, owner Bosley’s by Pet Valu New Westminster. “The Don’tYou Want Me project showcases the unconditional love, compassion and non-judgmental nature that is embodied in dogs, and how the strength and purpose they provide can help members of the LGBTQ+ community heal.We encourage everyone to come in and experience the exhibit.” Jivraj is thrilled her store has been chosen as the B.C. store to host the exhibit, which includes six towers featuring images

and personal narratives of LGBTQ+ people and the impact their rescue dogs have had on their lives. Admission is free, but people are invited to make a donation online to Don’t You Want Me. Jackson will be visiting the New Westminster store today (Thursday, March 31) from noon to 4 p.m. to meet the public and to talk about the project. During each stop on the national tour, Jackson is meeting with new participants and capturing their stories to share through the DYWM project. Anyone who identifies as being part of the LGBTQ+ community, has rescued a dog and has experienced firsthand how their dog changed their life is encouraged to apply to participate. “Like rescue dogs, queer and trans people need love, purpose, family and to not live in fear,” Jackson said in a news release. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to travel across Canada with Don’tYou Want Me; I look forward to chatting with visitors about the project and what happens when love is taken away, whether it’s by discrimination, isolation or ignorance, and how people thrive when love is given back.” The Don’tYou Want Me project seeks to show the transformation that happens when marginalized and often misunderstood individuals receive unconditional love and

How do I prevent or correct sagging skin?

Help! My investment portfolio is down and it’s making me really nervous, what should I do?

I need dentures. Where do I start?

Gravity is one thing we cannot escape, and as we age our elasticity or Elastin becomes sparse; this deadly combination is best treated with Laser Skin treatments. We offer HIFU or High-intensity focused ultrasound to lift and tone the skin in a non-invasive zero downtime treatment. Using high intensity Ultrasound waves, we can stimulate collagen and elastin as deep as the surgical layer, no needles or knives, and no long recovery times. The treatment is best done every year or two with minor maintenance and home care. Post treatment using a set of support products to feed the skin collagen rich ingredients to maintain your treatment, we can offer you a beautiful result, all you need to do is give us a call.

First, ask yourself when you’ll need to access that money. If it is a long way off, will your investment have time to recover? If it’s a shorter time frame, you might need reconsider your strategy, but don’t jump to change things right away, as losses are solidified when you sell. Remember you hold units in funds, or shares in stocks, and even if the price is down now, you still hold the same number of units or shares which can recover later. Is the cause of the losses something that will directly impact the specific companies that you’ve invested in? If so, look at the sectors of the economy that will profit during this time and diversify by adding or increasing holdings in those sectors.

The best starting point to see if dentures are an option for you is to visit a Denturist. A Denturist focuses solely on removable appliances that replace teeth with extensive training on the restoration and replacement of teeth, including dentures for even the most complex cases.

Tahora Eslahian Clinical Trainer

Dentures may replace all or only some of the teeth. The dentures that replace all the teeth are known as complete dentures and they rest on the gums that cover the jawbones. The stability and retention of these dentures are dependent on the foundation. Dentures that replace some but not all of the teeth are known as partial dentures. They attach to the teeth that are still present and also cover and rest on the gums and bone where the teeth are missing.

Are family assets divided differently upon separation if you are common-law and not married?

How does my pregnancy affect my oral health?

How do I choose the right colors for my home?

The 1867 British North America Act (BNA) created the legal framework of Canada, assigning different responsibilities or jurisdictions of activities to the Federal and Provincial Governments, as listed in sections 91 and 92 of the BNA eg divorce is a Federal responsibility but the division of family assets is a Provincial responsibility. Upon a marital separation in British Columbia, the 2013 Family Law Act (FLA) directs spouses to start with an equal share of the assets & debts acquired during their marriage. However, some analysis is required including whether assets or debts can be “excluded”, and whether there are grounds for a different result than an equal share. Since 2013 at least, it does not matter if your marriage was common-law or same-sex or otherwise. WeCanHelp@seatoskylaw.com 778-728-0208.

In some women, the hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to gum disease. Gingivitis is common and presents with inflamed and bleeding gums. In more severe cases, the infection can involve the bone and lead to eventual tooth loss. Food cravings are common and diverse. If they involve sugary snacks, it may lead to an increase in tooth decay. To avoid gum disease and tooth decay, it is imperative to maintain a good oral hygiene regimen (brushing twice daily and flossing once daily). Morning sickness is another concern, as it exposes your teeth to stomach acids that can weaken your enamel. Post vomiting, it is important to first rinse your mouth thoroughly with water or fluoride mouthwash. Avoid brushing your teeth for at least 30 minutes. Dental treatment during pregnancy is considered safe. Talk to your dentist if you have any concerns.

We are spending more time indoors and with COVID restrictions your surroundings may feel a bit blah. Why not change your scenery by having a mini staycation and give your home a MDD color makeover? Balance and Harmony Choose palette with complementary colors for whole house. Like clutter, too many different colors will distract attention. Changing the color value and intensity of the palette and/or adding pop of color to rooms creates interest. Lighting Lighting plays a vital part in how colors appear in your home. In a well-lit room, darker colors can absorb the space and create warmth and comfort but in north facing rooms/ basement with low natural light, dark colors close in the room. Book a MDD color consultation today for your home’s color makeover.

What is Sponsored Content?

Sponsored Content is a brand-sponsored article that lives on a media publisher’s website. It looks and reads like the publications own content but is, in fact, a paid advertisement. It positions the brand as an expert by delivering interesting content that is relevant to a publisher’s audience. As we move further down the digital road, it’s important to connect with your audience online. Not merely advertise products and services… spark interest, answer questions, educate readers with valuable information. One example of this would be for a Realtor to sponsor an article on “How to turn your Basement Suite into a Rental Unit?” A Travel Agency could talk about “5 Best Trips to Cure the Winter Blues!” Maybe a Yoga Studio discusses “The Health Benefits of Maintaining a Good Work-Life Balance?”The general idea is to provide your audience with helpful, interesting, even must read articles… sponsored by your business of course! It’s a softer, but more memorable sell, presented in a journalistic style. Sponsored Content builds brand trust & credibility, when used effectively can drive online traffic and engagement by leaps and bounds!!

Is it expensive to hire an experienced law firm ? SEA TO SKY LAW has over 30 years of successful experience providing trusted legal solutions to thousands of happy clients. Our legal experience includes three overlapping areas of law: Family Law, Business Law and Estate Law. Many families today have a business, or blended families, or there are health concerns or inheritance questions. We have a team to help you at an affordable cost. We also offer Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Coaching so you can limit your legal costs to just the advice you need to know your choices and consequences. WeCanHelp@seatoskylaw.com 778-728-0208

What are the trusted legal solutions? Every dispute in life has only two solutions – either make an agreement or ask the court to decide the dispute. A mediator can help the parties clarify both the issues and solutions, and a written agreement can be negotiated to confirm both the supporting facts and the agreed solutions. An experienced lawyer helps you understand your choices and legal consequences before you negotiate or agree.

I hear Family Court is expensive?

Yes a court trial is expensive because of the time involved but the 2013 Family Law Act (FLA) encourages out of court solutions like mediation instead of taking the emotional dispute into court especially if there are children involved. An experienced lawyer clarifies the relevant facts and law, helps you find a good mediator, and supports you with legal advice during the mediation and negotiation process.

Does my Will cover pre-death needs as well as post-death estate distribution?

Your Will only “speaks from death” so no one you name in your Will, like an Executor or Guardian, has any authority until after your death. You need to record your wishes in legal documents like a Representation Agreement to give authority to the person you choose to enforce your wishes about your personal care and finances in pre-death events like accidents and illness. An experienced lawyer knows the legal solutions.

When should I incorporate my business?

There are three legal forms of a business: a proprietorship, a partnership and an incorporation. Three common reasons to incorporate are: tax planning, personal liability protection and marketing image. An experienced lawyer can explain the choices and which might be best for your type or stage of business.

What are some expenses I should be prepared for when our family picks up our puppy?

How do I choose between style & function?

How to prepare for a puppy?

Being prepared for your puppy is a great idea! Some things to make sure you have a budget for are: Veterinary visits, Puppy Classes as well as future Manners classes, food (and treats of course!), equipment (like crates, leashes, harnesses etc), kongs and other chew and tug toys, pet insurance, and grooming expenses. Of course there will be many other things down the road, but these are a great place to start!

Every home and customer are unique, having different window covering needs, and this is where style and function meet. As a consultant, my priority is to use my knowledge and experience to inform customers about product functionality, options and colors, so they can make their decision with confidence. At Budget Blinds, we have a vast variety of product styles and colors to choose from so you can customize your space to your own personal style. We also offer smart home options & motorization for customers that are into having a modern tech home or just want easy to use shades without doing any lifting. With just the touch of a button or an Amazon Alexa command, you can control shades easily. At Budget Blinds, we got you covered.

Time to puppy proof the house; put away anything you don’t want chewed and close doors where puppy is not allowed. Let puppy know the house rules from day one. If puppy is not allowed on the furniture, the “no couch” rule must be enforced by all from the very beginning. Don’t change or apply rules inconsistently! Puppy will get confused resulting in accidents. Let puppy know where he sleeps, eats and when he goes for walkies; those three things are most important. Provide chew toys, saving your shoes and clothing. Put a piece of clothing in puppy’s sleeping area; it will help him recognize your scent. Start puppy on a good diet and watch him grow.

Local organizations are joining forces to support the Ukrainian community during the current crisis. Coun. Chinu Das attended the March 11 meeting of theWelcoming and Inclusive New Westminster Local Immigrant Partnership Council (WINS LIP), where she questioned how the city andWINS LIP could support the Ukrainian community. “TheWINS committee has so many non-profits and immigrant-serving agencies, and everybody was talking about what they could do, what they couldn’t do – and it felt like there was need for some sort of coordination within that group,” Das told council Monday night. “We also talked about things happening in the community, which is why I suggested maybe staff should meet with Holy Eucharist.” City staff met with WINS LIP members and Father Mykhailo Ozorovych of Holy Eucharist Cathedral on March 17 to share information about actions that are underway and to explore ways to collaborate. “The City of NewWestminster recognizes the tremendous need for the Ukrainian community both locally and abroad,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a news release. “We are proud to work with Holy Eucharist Cathedral and theWelcoming and Inclusive NewWestminster Local Immigration Partnership Council to provide additional resources and support wherever we can.” WINS LIP includes representatives from a variety of organizations, including Fraser Health, Fraserworks Co-op, MOSAIC, the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Pacific Im-

migrant Resource Society and theWelcome Centre. According to the city, Holy Eucharist Cathedral is acting as an informal hub for crisis response in NewWestminster and beyond and is collaborating with Ukrainian organizations across B.C. Its work includes providing information to families with relatives in Ukraine, developing a database of offers of support from across the province and managing the Help Us Help Ukraine donation program. “To date, over 200 households and individuals from across the province have contacted Holy Eucharist Cathedral to offer housing, donations, employment, etc.,” said a March 28 staff report. “There is a need for additional resources and support, and Holy Eucharist Cathedral welcomes collaboration with the city andWINS LIP.” The city reports that key needs identified by Holy Eucharist Cathedral include: temporary housing, clothing and household items, employment and financial assistance, food security programming, mental health sup-

port, language services and child care. Of key importance is a coordinated effort in NewWestminster, including understanding who is arriving and what their needs are. “It is such a great blessing to be part of the New Westminster community that has already so generously responded to the call of standing in solidarity with the much-suffering people of Ukraine,” Ozorovych said in a news release. “Our parish and all fundraising and prayer initiatives have been so widely supported by our neighbours and businesses.We look forward to working together with the plethora of other organizations under the guidance of the city to offer coordinated, concrete effort to help temporarily displaced Ukrainians fleeing to B.C.” NEXT STEPS The March 28 report to council outlined a series of next steps, which includes establishing a working group that will meet monthly.The city will also assist in raising awareness about the crisis, providing information about re-

sources and listing reputable sites where people can make a donation or apply to be a host family. The city’s purchasing department has reviewed its current supply chain and confirmed NewWestminster doesn’t purchase directly from any Russian Federation company and doesn’t purchase any product manufactured in Russia.The city has also been flying a Ukrainian flag in Friendship Gardens since March 8. The city hopes to apply the learnings from this working group to future crisis response efforts to support displaced people from other regions experiencing conflict. “I am very, very happy with what I read about the kind of support that is being taken on by this community and all the agencies,” Das said. “I just don’t want anyone to forget about some of the other humanitarian crises we still have. I still get questions from refugees from Afghanistan. So, as much as we are doing this, I just don’t lose sight of everything else that’s happening around the world as well.”

Celebrating Seniors

New subsidized housing will beneﬁt seniors: advocate Cindy Harnett Glacier Media

B.C.’s seniors advocate says she is optimistic that provincial funding for non-profits to accelerate the construction of mixed-income housing will benefit seniors. The province announced in February that it has allocated $100 million as part of its Community Housing Fund to help non-profit partners build more mixed-income rentals faster. In this type of arrangement, low-income seniors typically apply to have a one-bedroom apartment in a building run by a non-profit or directly by B.C. Housing, and their rent is capped at 30% of their income.

$1,500 move by June 30th

With a high senior population, services and support are easier to organize. “The commitment to more subsidized units for seniors is important, and I personally believe it’s one of the better models of seniors housing,” said Isobel Mackenzie, noting seniors are able to remain independent and live in the community. The problem, she said, is that those subsidized units are needed “yesterday.” The seniors advocate noted B.C. has fallen far behind on subsidized housing for seniors, with a wait list that has grown by 43% in the last five years. There were 9,400 applicants on the wait list in 2020-2021 and just 714 – or 16% – were placed. At

the end of the year, 8,706 were still waiting. Island Health’s subsidized housing units per 100,000 population for people age 55 and older fell by 15.5% over five years, according to the Office of the Seniors Advocate Monitoring Senior Services’ 2021 report. The provincial rate fell by about 14%. Mackenzie said the province dropped the ball in its recent budget announcement by not increasing the SAFER grant for the lowest-income seniors, which hasn’t been increased in at least a couple of years. SAFER – Shelter Aid For Elderly Renters – is monthly rent assistance provided to eligible low to moderate income seniors

age 60 and older who have lived in the province at least one full year. These seniors are typically the lowest income group, already receiving the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement and paying more than 30% of their income on rent. About 25,000 seniors receive the SAFER grant, 95% of whom are single.They have an average monthly income of $1,675, pay an average rent of $1,052 a month, and receive an average SAFER subsidy of $200. The average subsidy dropped by 4% in the last year. Meanwhile, there was a bump in seniors accessing other federal and provincial funding sources for low-income seniors.

Safe homes: B.C. seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie says subsidized housing for seniors is a priority. PHOTO GLACIER MEDIA

“You still have these 25,000 seniors on SAFER who are falling a bit behind in terms of their ability to pay their rent,” said Mackenzie. Rent increases were frozen in the first year of the pandemic and capped

in the second year. “So there’s a rent increase coming, but there’s been no increase to the SAFER grant to accommodate that increase.”

Better Business Bureau has released its report of the riskiest scams in North America – split into age groups. The report comes in March during Fraud Prevention Month. The report highlights some of the most common scams aimed at folks aged 65 and up: ! Online purchase scams ! Travel/vacation/timeshare scams ! Tech support scams Those in the 65+ age group – those trying to keep up with ever-advancing technology and looking to enjoy their retirement – are the most likely to be duped by travel/vacation/timeshare scams and tech support scams. Unfortunately, seniors often make good targets for scammers. Fac-

Be cautious: Online purchase and tech support scams are among the common scams targeting seniors. PHOTO GETTY IMAGES

tors such as being alone, spending more time at home, having large savings and loss of mental sharpness make seniors vulnerable to scams. In 2021, seniors 65+ lost more money to scams than they did in 2020. It is important that at any age, consumers re-

main vigilant and do their due diligence when deciding on a purchase. For more on the 2021 BBB Risk Report, visit bbbmarketplacetrust.org/ RiskReport. For tips on how to protect yourself against scams, visit www.tinyurl. com/BBBScamTips.

AS WE AGE

Celebrating Seniors

Bone density is a critical part of seniors’ health Exercise and a vitamin-rich diet are part of warding off osteoporosis – especially for women

Margaret Coates

AsWe Age contributor

Them bones, them bones, them … dense bones. For seniors, dense bones are essential to maintaining health and well-being. As we age, our bone density decreases, but there are some strategies we can take to keep our bones in the best possible shape. Our bones are constantly renewed through a natural process in which new bone cells replace old bone cells. As we age, however, this process becomes less efficient, and we begin to gradually lose bone tissue.This increases our risk for osteoporosis. The Healthlink BC website says that “osteoporosis is a disease that affects your bones. It means that you have bones that are thin and brittle with lots of holes inside them like a sponge.This makes them easy to break. Osteoporosis can lead to broken bones (fractures) in the hip, spine, and wrist. These fractures can be disabling and may make it hard for you to live on your own.” According to Osteoporosis Canada, it is estimated that two million Canadians are affected by osteoporosis. Information

provided by Osteoporosis Canada says that people living with osteoporosis face a reduced quality of life, lowered self-esteem, reduction or loss of mobility, disfigurement, a lack of independence, and, in some cases, death – 28% of women and 37% of men who suffer a hip fracture will die within the following year. WOMEN AT HIGHER RISK Unfortunately for women, we are twice as likely as men to break a bone because of osteoporosis. Research shows that while one in five men will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime, at least one in three women will suffer a break. Women start with a lower bone density and lose bone mass more rapidly as they age. Others refer to bone deterioration as the “silent thief” because a person may not present any symptoms until they have a fracture, and by then the disease is already advanced. According to E. Michael Lewiecki, director of the New Mexico clinical Research and Osteoporosis Centre, “we have reached a global crisis when it comes to the care of osteoporosis.”

So, what can we do? The Public Health Agency of Canada says that “it is possible to prevent, delay or reduce bone loss through a healthy lifestyle. Assessing your risk for osteoporosis and related fractures can help you identify lifestyle factors that you can change.” Risk factors include being over 65, having a parent who had a hip fracture, being a smoker or drinking more than two units of alcohol per day on a consistent basis, being underweight or overweight, having bones which break because of a minor accident, having a spine fracture (usually detected by loss of height), and having low bone mass identified on an X-ray. GET YOUR EXERCISE – AND YOUR VITAMINS A bone-healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise and physical activity, and ensuring that you get the necessary vitamins and minerals to prevent, delay and/or reduce bone loss. Also, you may want to get your doctor to recommend a bone density test, which can tell you how strong your bones are. Osteoporosis Canada advises routine bone density testing for all women and men who are age 65

or older. If you have a higher risk for fractures, it is best to start getting the test sooner. Try a diet rich in produce, nuts, whole grain cereals, olive oil and fish. You could also try taking a supplement of calcium or vitamin D if you are not getting enough from the food you eat. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is essential for bone development.Your health practitioner can advise on the appropriate dosages of supplements. Weight-bearing exercises such as elliptical

trainers, low impact aerobics, and walking most days of the week are recommended for older people. Muscle strengthening exercises such as using exercise bands, weightlifting, and yoga are suggested two to three times a week. Of course, if you have been reading this column regularly, you know that healthy eating and regular exercise provide other wide-ranging health benefits for older people. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, it is important to re-

duce your risk of falling by making your home safer; avoiding taking risks in the outdoors, especially during icy weather; and making sure you take care of your vision, hearing, and feet. Remember falls are the principal reason for injury-related hospitalizations among Canadian older adults. Now that we can get about a bit more – yes, the weather is getting better – move your body to stave off the worst effects of osteoporosis.
