Seniors programs hit by funding lossUnited Way donations down, not renewing grantsWanda [email protected]

It’s a lunch date Niels Thomsen hates to miss.

For two years, Thomsen, 88, has attended the weekly seniors’ lunch at Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

It’s organized through a seniors outreach ambassador program aimed at helping vulnerable, isolated seniors build relationships in the community.

“It makes the difference between sitting at home or getting out and talking to people,” said the retired carpenter.

“I would miss it terribly if that was to discontinue.”

The program is one of many assisting seniors that are losing United Way funding once their grants end.

In the case of Burnaby Neighbourhood House (BNH), the program runs on $36,000 a year through a three-year grant that will not be renewed at the end of June, said BNH executive director, Antonia Beck.

Four Burnaby projects possibly affectedWanda [email protected]

Seismic upgrades at four Burnaby schools could be affected by a new education ministry policy that looks at school districts to share in the cost of such capital projects.

Until now, all capital projects at public schools have been funded by

the provincial government. The new policy is in response to

an auditor-general’s report in 2010 that found there is too much excess cash being held by public sector agencies, including school districts, said Ben Green, education ministry spokesperson. A subsequent auditor-general’s follow-up report released last month reached the same conclusion.

To deal with the issue, the

finance ministry launched its “cash management strategy” that requires districts to consider cost-sharing of capital and seismic projects.

In addition to addressing the auditor-general’s concerns, the move will also save taxpayers money by reducing the government’s borrowing costs, he said.

Those projects that are already under construction or where a project agreement has been signed

are not affected, Green said, unless they go over budget.

“For districts that don’t have significant cash balances or surpluses, provincial funding for capital projects will remain unchanged.”

For those that do have surpluses, they’ll be dealt with on a “project-by-project basis,” he said.

DAniel Deregt/ContributeDMayor Derek Corrigan was the celebrity guest artist at L’Arche Greater Vancouver’s fifth annual Art of Being Together event at Nikkei Centre on April 3. The Mayor was guided in creating his masterpiece by local mural artist Todd Polich. Although Polich advised throughout the process, only the mayor’s paintbrush touched the canvas. The mayor painted an image of two people walking up a hill, one helping the other. He said afterwards that it symbolized the work of L’Arche, of people helping each other. Later in the program, city Coun. Paul McDonell auctioned off the mayor’s artwork for $2,000, the winning bid going to Peter Chung, who will display it at his Joe’s Table café.

The lights have come up on the life of former Burnaby restaurant and nightclub owner and social gadfly Sev Morin.

Morin passed away March 28. He was 86 years old.

Morin, along with his brother Rudy, was famously the owner of the old Gai Paree restaurant on Kingsway, which was originally started by his family in 1947. It was later known as Severin’s. The restaurant closed in 1994.

Before stepping into the family business, Morin cut his teeth in the hospitality industry alongside Nat Bailey at White Spot.

“The mentoring from Mr. Bailey was the key thing,” Morin told the NewsLeader in 2005.

He also met his wife, Pauline, at the Gai Paree where she was a part-time banquet waitress. A customer had asked her the score of the Canucks-New Westminster Royals hockey game and Morin happened to be listening to it on the radio so she got the update from him. They married in 1950 and settled down on Olive Street, near Central Park.

Morin was a close friend of broadcaster Jack Cullen and a member of his “Howe Street Social Club,” a collection of “virtually anybody who was in showbiz locally” in the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, said former

CKNW newscaster John Ashbridge.

That allowed him to hobnob with some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names when they rolled through Vancouver, including Bob Hope.

“It was different times,” said broadcaster Red Robinson. “There weren’t gatekeepers preventing you from getting to

know the stars. You’d become friends with them.”

Morin was also close to the Fox family in South Burnaby and mentored young Michael J. as he embarked on his acting career. He was instrumental in getting his old friend to lend his name to the Michael J. Fox Theatre at Burnaby South secondary school when it was built in 1995.

In 2011, Morin was tapped by the owner of Lafflines comedy club in New Westminster, Barry Buckland, to help bring in names when he relaunched in the old Columbia Theatre.

“He knows everybody,” said Lafflines’ talent and event manager James Lickers at the time.

Morin was also supportive of

young athletes like boxer Dale Walters and local sports teams held banquets and reunions at his restaurant.

The walls were plastered with photos of teams he sponsored.

In the 1980s Morin’s club became a hangout for visiting NHL players after games at the Pacific Coliseum in East Vancouver. He also served as chair of Burnaby’s 2010 Olympic Legacy committee.

Morin was also a member of the Senate at Simon Fraser University, a liaison officer for the Burnaby Board of Trade, and served on a number of boards of directors, including the Downtown Business Improvement Association in New West.

“He did a lot of work behind the scenes,” said Ashbridge, who praised Morin for his ability to build relationships and forge connections.

“He was genuine. He was always in the best of spirits.”

In 2002 Morin received a Local Hero award from the City of Burnaby and the following year he was awarded a Queen’s Jubilee medal.

A celebration of Morin’s life will be held Sat., April 12, at the café at Willingdon Church from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

COntrIButed phOtOSev Morin, Bob Hope and Milt Wylie clown around for a charity golf tournament in 1963.

“These are conversations that the ministry will continue to have with districts as we move forward.”

There are four Burnaby projects already in the pipeline that could be affected as they have not yet reached the project agreement stage—Alpha and Burnaby North

secondaries and Montecito and Stride Avenue elementaries.

“We’re still trying to seek more information in terms of what this means,” said Greg Frank, Burnaby district’s secretary-treasurer, on Monday.

Frank said there may be some confusion over the

difference between surpluses and cash balances.

The district uses its modest surpluses each year to offset the shortfalls in its operating budget caused by provincial funding not keeping up with increases in costs.

Cash balances, on

the other hand, are more of a snapshot in time of the district’s bank account. While there may be significant balances there at some point, it’s there to pay bills that it’s earmarked for.

And while the district has a capital fund, the money in it has historically been provided by the province. The exception is

when money is transferred from the operating side to fund new equipment, Frank said.

So if the district used available cash for a capital project, it would only end up in a deficit situation at the end of the year, which district’s aren’t allowed to do.

“We still don’t understand the impact of this.”

Alternate pipeline route now the ‘preferred’ oneNew first choice would tunnel under Burnaby Mountain parkWanda [email protected]

When it comes to routes for its Trans Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, Kinder Morgan has switched the status of its preferred and alternate corridors.

That is, what it identified as being alternate Burnaby corridors in its Dec. 16 application to the National Energy Board (NEB) are now its first choices, and vice versa.

That change was presented at the company’s Burnaby open house last Thursday evening on efforts it is making to nail down a final route for the pipeline expansion.

Kinder Morgan is proposing to almost triple capacity on its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. The move would allow it to increase exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets.

The current selected corridor between North Road and

Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Terminal follows the CN Rail alignment northwest to Lougheed Highway. It then goes north on Gaglardi Way, west on Eastlake Drive, then north on Underhill Avenue to the terminal on Shellmont Street.

Previously, it had stated its preferred route would run underneath Lougheed to Underhill.

From Burnaby Terminal to Westridge Terminal on Bayview Drive, the preference is now to use a tunnel underneath the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.

Before, the pipeline was to run underneath Burnaby Mountain Parkway, Hastings Street and Cliff Avenue to the terminal.

“We’ve listened to what people have had to say,” said project spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell in an interview before the open house. “And a lot of land owners and a lot of the community have said we would rather you were not in the road along the existing

pipeline.”Tunnelling under the

park would help reduce the construction impact on the Westridge community, she noted. The tunnel would use a “trenchless” method so as not to disturb the park’s surface.

And there would no longer be any direct impact on Westridge-

area homes, she said.While the company’s

15,000-page application to the NEB was filed in December, the cutoff date it used for adding information to it was July 31, 2013, Parsons Bell explained.

The company continued to meet with the community after that and on March 20 it filed a “consultation update” that covered the period between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31. Another update is expected before the fall of this year.

Critics have complained that the community was not adequately informed before the NEB cut off applications to participate in the process on Feb. 12.

Burnaby Central grad Adam Pankratz has his sights set on the federal Liberal nomination in the new riding of Burnaby South.

Until recently, Pankratz, 30, worked in international client services at HSBC. He left that job to focus full-time on getting the nomination and running an election campaign.

The next federal election is slated for October, 2015.

Pankratz was born and

raised in the riding, and still lives there. He earned a degree in French linguistics from SFU, then studied at the University of Potsdam in

Germany, graduating with a masters in French and Spanish linguistics.

Pankratz also has an MBA from UBC.

Pankratz says a strong economy with a clean environment

is important to him. While studying and working overseas, he was often asked why Canada was no longer a leader on climate

change, peacekeeping and international aid. He says this concern about our international reputation motivated him to get into politics. His website is at adampankratz.ca.

Meanwhile, Terry Beech is running for the federal liberal nomination in Burnaby North-Seymour, the new riding that will span North Burnaby and North Vancouver.

Beech became Canada’s youngest-ever elected public official in 1999, when, at 18, he was elected city councillor

in Nanaimo. A 2005 graduate of SFU in business and economics, he went on to earn his MBA at the University of Oxford.

His Beech Partners works with entrepreneurs, small businesses and startups. He co-founded Hiretheworld.com which serves as a global graphic

design marketplace. And he’s currently an adjunct professor in entrepreneurship at SFU and UBC.

Find him at terrybeech.ca.

VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to.

Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an

ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will

start providing online access to a wide range of government services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even criminal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said.

“There will be conversion

of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro.

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

• A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation formalizes a cabinet appointment process for them.

Digital wave is just beginning

Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the first leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly-remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972-1975. The Barrett government was the first NDP government ever to take power in B.C., after being in opposition for almost 40 years.

Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He styled himself “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label, as he tended to try and make as many people happy as possible, and not bash business as much as some colleagues did.

However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be an integral part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power.

Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organization involved in many questionable financial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him.

Despite the shoddy way he was treated, he remained an NDP member and campaigned frequently for the party. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known last week.

Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan flip-flop, attack on Carole James’ leadership (is there a pattern here?) and NDP fight against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to walk away.

Reasonable doubts, and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder where their party is headed, as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years.

COMMENT

Dear Premier Christy Clark,

My impression is that you are a caring and sincere person; that you really do want the best for your child and the children of B.C. For this reason, Christy, I’m sending you an idea. It comes in three parts.

First, you/we should leave the natural gas in the ground. While you were in Ottawa today, trying to get backing for development of LNG the International Panel on Climate Change issued its most recent report. LNG is just another fossil fuel, Christy, and cleaner than others it may be, but it’s still carbon from underground where it should stay. I know those around you will wring their hands and cry, “But Christy, what of the jobs? How will B.C. be competitive without energy?”

The second part is geothermal energy. Christy, we live on the “ring of fire.” The province is dotted with hot springs but we haven’t a single geothermal electric generating plant. Here’s where to give the subsidies, the tax benefits—indeed, every incentive you can.

The third part is how to reply to the lickspittles when they wail, “But Christy, we can’t export geothermal energy!”

Given that their chief concern is profit for themselves and their multinational masters, this will be devastating to your sycophants. Well, electricity can be exported using direct current and that technology is coming on fast.

But largely, they will be correct, we will have to use the

geothermal energy here to heat and cool our homes, to charge our electric cars and run our public transit. The only way to export the surplus energy (there will be a great deal) will be to use it to power industries and agriculture.

That’s correct, Christy, we’ll have to export finished products and not raw energy or materials.

The upshot of that is lots and lots of jobs. So there’s my idea and now it’s yours.

You don’t have to tell anyone you got it from a member of the BC Green Party. It will be our little secret.

Wishing you all the best,David W.G. Macdonald

HeigHt of arroganceRe: Critics say NEB muzzling most oil pipeline speakers

The NewsLeader story says: “The NEB also on

Wednesday declared Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion application to be complete.

Stewart called that ‘a joke’ because the route is not finalized and the existence of alternate corridor options in key areas has sowed public confusion over where the pipeline will ultimately go.”

Part of the absurdity of this process is that the proponents are essentially saying to NEB: say yes, and THEN we’ll tell you exactly what we want. (e.g. the precise pipeline route, proposed to be finalized AFTER approval). It’s the height of arrogance.

Wayne Froese

• • • • •Kinder Morgan has to be

shut down until they stop transporting tar sands or dilbit through their Trans Mountain pipeline, because a tar sands spill down into the Fraser River will destroy the salmon fishery in that river for decades.

If there is a spill into the Fraser River, KM will try to cover-up. Remember Merritt.

are we really planning aHead?Re: Six lanes makes sense (Letters, NewsLeader, March 26)

The letter from Daryl Dela Cruz struck a chord with me.

What we need is more foresight regarding future projects by thinking about what is waiting for us ahead.

This seems to be overlooked too often nowadays. Surrey, I read, is on course to surpass Vancouver’s population in the long run since they have the space. In view of this, it’s hard for me to believe a four-lane Pattullo Bridge is being proposed. We would be sorry soon after it opened! It would not meet future demands, but how many years down the road would it be too narrow again?

She understands the United Way has tough choices to make after it fell short of its fundraising targets. And Beck is working to try to find new sources of funding to keep the program going.

Still, she was “shocked when I got the letter” from

the United Way since she knows what a difference the program makes in the community.

It serves as a bridge between isolated seniors and other resources they can benefit from.

For people isolated due to health or mobility issues, who have lost a spouse, have no family nearby, or who are new to the country and don’t speak English, it welcomes them to the wider community.

And ultimately, studies have shown that socially-connected seniors tend to live longer, said Beck.

In Thomsen’s

case, he lost his driver’s licence after a stroke about three years ago. With no family, ever since then he was pretty much housebound and dependent on neighbours to take him grocery shopping.

When volunteer senior ambassador Tony Lai heard about Thomsen, he contacted him and brought him out to the lunches.

The program has also been a lifeline for Lidio Baldeon, 71, who didn’t know what he was going to do after he lost his job as a trucker last year.

Separated from his wife and his kids grown, he faced having

little social contact without co-workers to talk with or a routine to follow every day.

Then he wandered into BNH’s Imperial Street offices where someone helped him fill out the paperwork for employment insurance. Without the program around, Baldeon figures he’d be “sitting in a mall all day alone.”

Over at Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society, they’re facing a $50,000 cut from their revenues when their United Way grant expires, also at the end of June.

The money funds a family caregiver program, about half of its overall budget, said the society’s program director, Linda Comba.

That program helps people caring for chronically-ill or disabled family members, or those nearing the end of their lives. Three-quarters of its 500 or so clients each year are older children caring for parents while a quarter are seniors themselves caring for spouses, siblings or their own parents.

“It’s a huge task to be a caregiver and a highly stressful event in a person’s life,” said Comba.

Michael McKnight, president and CEO of United Way of the Lower Mainland, noted the three-year funding commitments were time-limited and “it isn’t realistic to continue indefinitely.”

In all, the non-profit is not renewing a total $1.6 million in grants to seniors service providers. While its overall revenue is positive because of government partnerships, fundraising is harder and it’s seen a decline in money raised over the past five or six years, McKnight said.

The United Way partnered with the province to start the Better at Home program which will provide housekeeping and transportation help to seniors in need.

Graeme Truelove has been shortlisted for a B.C. Book Prize for his in-depth biography of former Burnaby-Douglas MP Svend Robinson.

Finalists for the 30th-annual literature awards were announced in mid-March, honouring fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and children’s writing.

Truelove is one of five authors vying for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize, an honour

recognizing an original book which “contributes the most to the enjoyment and understanding of the province of British Columbia.”

His book, Svend Robinson: A Life in Politics, is an authorized biography of the outspoken politician, who for 25 years, made headlines for his sometimes controversial views

and for his sexual orientation. (Though perhaps more

commonplace now, it was considered a bit of a bombshell when he came out in 1988, becoming the first openly gay MP).

“It was a leap into the unknown,” Robinson told

Truelove. “It was just the most liberating moment you can imagine.”

Truelove, who grew up in Delta and is now an Ottawa resident who works as a non-partisan procedural clerk in the House of Commons, took a year of unpaid leave to complete more than 100 interviews for his book about Robinson.

The tale is about much more than politics, exploring the former politician’s difficult childhood, his realization of his sexuality and his eventual bipolar diagnosis.

Truelove said it took some convincing to have the veteran NDP politician agree to the intrusive process of a biography.

“I’m not surprised that it took him a little while to come around to the idea, but eventually he did, and he trusted me to do it.”

B.C. Book Prize winners will be announced May 3 in Vancouver.

But Parsons Bell said it was always known either the preferred or alternate routes were a possibility.

“Both routes have been discussed and have been shown in the application,” she said.

“So they are in the application, and we notified everyone on both the alternative and preferred corridors.”

The NEB will hold oral hearings in early 2015 and is required to produce a report and recommendations to the federal government by July 2015.

Work on detailed routing within the corridors won’t

happen unless the company receives government approvals to go ahead with the project, she said.

“I don’t know how you can have any faith in this process at all,” said Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, an outspoken critic of the project.

“Really they could’ve waited until they had the route complete and decided which path they were going to take. There was no deadline for their application. That’s their own

self-imposed deadline. “All they’re really worried

about is making sure that this NEB process is finished up before the next federal election.”

That election is slated for October 2015, just a few months after the NEB must submit a recommendation, Stewart noted from Ottawa.

Of the 2,100 people and organizations that applied to participate in the process, 400 have been granted intervenor status that will allow them

to speak at the NEB hearings. Of those, about 170 are from Burnaby.

As for tunnelling under the park, Stewart said a bored tunnel was also planned for the Canada Line SkyTrain extension.

“One minute after the application was approved, the company said, ‘sorry, we’re going to do a cut-and-cover.’ Again, I don’t see how [the pipeline is] going to be any different.”

The cyclists, aged 70-93, are riding from Vancouver to San Francisco, and were special guests of the event on the eve of their departure. Active Aging Artists is a program that promotes healthy, active aging for seniors in the South-Central Burnaby area with classes, fi eld trips and tea gatherings.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER


It usually goes something like this: A new patient (often and aging parent, a senior) is referred to our office by their caring family member.

Let’s say they’re 68 and have been suffering with right knee pain for the past five years. It’s now debilitating, swollen, and preventing them from navigating the stairs in their own home. The patient has previously gone to a physician to explore the problem, and tried the typical prescription anti-inflammatory therapy, with varied results. The prudent physician then ordered X-rays, which revealed “joint wear and tear.”

Now it starts to get interesting...

Joint wear and tear has many different names, ambiguous meanings, and strong misconceptions. It could easily be labeled degeneration,

arthritis, osteoarthritis or joint decay. When asked how or why this has occurred, the suffering senior is often told—hold on—that it is “normal aging.”

Wait a minute.What’s normal aging? Let’s

look at this a little closer. Many people accept degeneration, body break down, and even arthritis as a normal part of the aging process. Our own doctors and health professionals may even tell us this. But if you consider the typical example I’ve used above, the 68-year-old with the right knee joint wear and tear, the truth is the left knee is exactly the same age!

There you have it. How can degeneration and joint decay be the normal part of aging as it effects different body parts differently? Although rate of healing, metabolism and muscle strength often decline with aging, it does not designate one joint to wear out prematurely while others function fully and longer. The point is, there are many factors that can cause a joint to prematurely decay, degenerate or become arthritic. Since in general we are not to strategically construct our diet, strengthen and balance our body posture and increase body agility, we often find ourselves breaking down with time.

That’s right, with time, but rest assured this is not normal aging, it’s just common aging.

Of course a car will break down with a certain mileage if its alignment if off, the wrong oil is used and cheap gas put

in. But the same care will last much longer, go further on the odometer before being sent off to the scrap yard, if certain variables are addressed and maintained.

Why does all this matter? It means if we are functioning relatively well, why wait for joint decay? Careful analysis and the measurement of certain body variables can slow down and even prevent joint decay.

This can also be an effective treatment option for some people who are already suffering from painful arthritic joints. The cure (treatment) is often the same as the prevention.

Don’t mistake what’s common for what’s normal.

When we take care of our bodies and ourselves like we take care of our homes, vehicles, or our gardens, then normal aging should look like Jim Stevens, the 79-year-old who’s run 20 New York Marathons!

One Burnaby senior will have their wish come true thanks to a $1,000 donation to the Dream On Senior’s Wish Foundation.

The donation is a joint effort from Nurse Next Door Burnaby and the Burnaby Senior Interagency Society (BSIS).

“This money is earmarked for a Burnaby senior,” said Wendy Scott, Nurse Next Door Burnaby owner/operator and BSIS member. “We decided to donate it to the Dream On

Senior’s Wish Foundation because they have the resources available to make even bigger dreams come true. Coming up with the money is one thing, but pulling it off is a whole other story.”

The foundation has been making seniors’ dreams come true across North America since 2012. Dreams are submitted by caregivers, community workers, friends, family and seniors themselves.

Dreams can range from computer lessons to a trip across the world to reunite with a family member.

To be eligible to submit a dream, the person must be 65 or older and a storyteller. They also need a little help, whether financial, personal or even emotional.

To submit a dream request, visit www.dreamonseniorswishfoundation.org.

How to keep your feet healthy and happy

M ost people are born with healthy feet. But three out of four people develop

serious foot problems as they age, putting their independence and well-being at risk.

Healthy feet contribute to your safety and health. How?

Feet that are healthy and pain-free help you keep your balance. Good balance prevents falls, a major cause of injury and hospitalization.

Healthy feet also allow you to stay active. When your feet are too sore to walk, you lose strength and become at greater risk for falls. Walking is the perfect exercise to keep your weight down, prevent blood clots and keep your bones and muscles strong. Keeping an eye on your feet can even give you an early warning about serious health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, nerve damage and poor blood circulation.

Foot pain may keep you from enjoying life and staying active. Many foot problems can be avoided if you:

CheCk your feet every day

Don’t wait until your feet hurt. Take a few minutes every day to look for cuts, blisters,

bruises, sores, infected toenails or swelling. Use a small mirror if bending over is a problem, or ask someone for help.

Wash your feet every day

Use warm water. Don’t soak them longer than 10 minutes, or your skin will get dry and start to crack. Dry well between your toes.

keep your feet soft and smooth

Use unscented cream on the tops and bottoms of your feet if the

skin is dry and cracked. Wipe off excess cream and don’t apply between your toes. Use talcum powder if your feet sweat a lot.

Wear Comfortable shoes and soCks

Many people have foot problems because their shoes don’t fit, don’t give proper support or don’t have enough grip on the ground. Socks help keep your feet dry. Wear a clean pair every day. Avoid socks with ridges or an elastic at top; they can irritate of restrict circulation.

be aCtive every day

Walking is the best way to keep you, and your feet, healthy.

take Care of your toenails

Cut or file your nails regularly with appropriate nail care tools. Trim them straight across and never shorter than the end of your toe.

Q : I rarely visit my aunt’s apartment. We usually meet monthly

in the lobby of her residence for lunch. Recently I had to deliver something to her suite and stayed for a visit. I was surprised to see her home so cluttered. I thought the residence does cleaning, but her counters are piled with papers and containers, and clothes are all over. I also saw lots of pill containers on kitchen counters, in the bathroom and near her favourite chair in the living room. This worries me.

I’m her closest relative, and the one who convinced her to move into this residence, so she would be safe and not lonely. I know she’s happy there, but I worry how she is really doing. What should I do? I don’t want to interfere.

FrancisDear Francis

Sounds like she is living in and independent/supportive residence. They only provide a certain amount of care. They offer meals, but can’t make residents eat; they provide entertainment and social interaction but can’t make people attend. They also supply cleaning of suites, but it is light housekeeping at best. Mopping the

floors, cleaning the shower, vacuuming the rugs, changing linens and doing laundry. Approximately 15 minutes spent on each apartment.

I suggest you speak to the manager. If you are the emergency contact you have the right to ask questions about your aunt’s situation. Perhaps your aunt is a hoarder and you need to address decluttering her suite. Regarding the pills, if you can, go through the bottles and get rid of any outdated

medications. Take them to a pharmacy to destroy. Also, go with her to the pharmacy and get a list of the medications she is taking now and discuss with the pharmacist to see she is not being over medicated. Be your aunt’s advocate. Sounds like she needs more personal attention than just a social lunch date.

Just be sensitive to the fact your aunt may not appreciate this new attention. You’ll have to find the right words to convince her she does.

Worst scofflaws have dozens of unpaid TransLink ticketsJeff NagelBlack Press

An Abbotsford resident with $14,583 in old TransLink fare evasion fines owes more than any other scofflaw now being denied licence and insurance renewals by ICBC.

Data released by the insurance corporation show all of the top 10 transit fine offenders it tracks have at least 35 unpaid tickets issued from 2002-2012 and owe more than $4,000 each. Together, their unpaid fines total $73,000.

Five of the top fare evaders are from Surrey. One is on the hook for 56 unpaid fines totalling $8,418, while the others have 36 to 45 unpaid fines and owe between $4,000 and $6,000.

Three Burnaby residents are on the list. One has 86 fines totalling $11,678, followed by one with 46 fines owing $7,831 and another owing $5,326 for 41 fines.

A New Westminster resident has the 10th highest number of fines – 35 worth $5,800.

ICBC on April 1 began denying auto insurance and driver’s licence renewals to motorists with unpaid TransLink tickets issued in 2012 and earlier, in line with provincial legislation passed that year.

A total of 37,000 old unpaid fare evasion

tickets worth $5.7 million are now subject to ICBC “refusal to issue” holds.

The identities of the top fare evaders listed by ICBC were withheld.

The ICBC list does not include all fare evaders – it only tracks the ones with active driver’s licences.

Others who don’t have driver’s licences who ride SkyTrain but never pay and ignore tickets may owe even larger amounts.

“We can only play a role in helping to collect this debt where there’s an active driver’s licence or insurance policy, so that’s all we can report on,” ICBC’s Adam Grossman said.

There is no amnesty on

partial payment of large amounts owed or cap on the maximum ICBC insists is paid before lifting a hold.

“This is provincial government debt but I believe their goal is to recover as much of the outstanding payments as possible,” Grossman said.

Old pre-2012 fines that are paid go to the provincial government, not TransLink, while tickets issued after that year are payable to TransLink.

ICBC began sending out warning letters to drivers with unpaid TransLink fines in early March.

TransLink says more than 30 per cent of ticketed fare evaders have paid their fines since the legislation change in 2012.

Top 10 fare evaders owe more than $4,000 each

Police seek ‘person of interest’

Burnaby RCMP is hoping people will recognize a man with a unique hoodie who is a “person of interest” in a recent break-and-enter.

The break-and-enter took place Jan. 28 at about 9 p.m. at a home in the 4500-block of Venables Street.

The man was captured on surveillance video. He’s seen wearing a hoodie emblazoned with “move like a crook move.”

Anyone who can identify the person or who has information about the crime is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP Const. David Su at 604-294-7922 or, to remain anonymous, Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.solvecrime.ca.

TURNING WOOD

Ask the Pro How do I get the most out of my practice time on the Driving Range? 1. Be methodical and Specific: —Focus your thoughts on what you intend to practice on. —Be specific setting your goals. —The quality of your practice is more important than how many ‘swings’ you make. 2. Warm up your body: loosen your muscles. Check out Burnaby Golf’s warm-up video! 3. Specify your practice goals. For example, break your hour practice into 15 minute intervals. 15 minutes: work on chip and pitch shots 15 minutes: work on alignment with a 3/4 swing using your 9 iron 15 minutes: work on distance control by switching to a long iron and using a full swing 15 minutes: work on accuracy by switching back to a specific club or shot for that practice session. You don’t need a full set of golf clubs when you visit the range. Bring a club you feel comfortable with and another you have trouble with. 2 or 3 clubs at a time are all you need. 4. Be comfortable: Dress appropriately by wearing comfortable layered clothing. Remember to bring plenty of water and a light snack. 5. Have Fun: Practice with a friend. It’s more fun to create games by choosing tar-gets and seeing who has the best aim. We hope to see you working on your game at the Driving Range soon. Thanks for swinging by!

A n arts centre, unlike a traditional art gallery or museum tries to be

multiple things to multiple people.

It’s a gallery, a performance space, and a place for meetings and large assemblies. This makes the experience at the arts centre quite different than a visit to the Burnaby Art Gallery, for instance, where visitors interact with a work of art or have an exchange with an artist or curator.

This interaction with culture is different again than an hour or two spent at the Burnaby Village Museum, where history comes to life, and where you can ride a 100-year-old carousel or engage in a much more tactile way with objects and artefacts.

Your reason to visit the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts will be quite varied. You may be taking a class, attending a live performance, meeting a friend for coffee, waiting for your child, or participating in a special meeting or event. Or you enjoy being in the space, looking at the Jack Shadbolt paintings on display, and the beautiful scenery of Deer Lake Park.

But Shadbolt Centre is much more. Its studios are incubators for creation in the visual and performing arts. And these

creations, by the 3,500 adult students enrolled in the winter session, will be displayed at Winter’s End, an Adult Student Showcase on April 10, 2014.

This event falls right on the heels of Adult Learner’s Week in Canada, launched by UNESCO in 2000. During Adult Learners’ Week the world celebrates adult

learners around the globe who have found the desire, time and energy to pursue their dreams for education and learning.

The focus of this year’s activities (observed March 29–April 6) is on participation,

inclusion, equity and quality. How fitting it is that our

Winter’s End showcase on April 10 will celebrate the participation of our adult students with visual arts and ceramics exhibitions throughout the facility, voice and instrument recitals and a dance performance in the James Cowan Theatre.

For more information about Winter’s End and other activities at Shadbolt Centre, visit shadboltcentre.com or call 604-291-6864.

Centre for the Arts.
