You would have to fillSwangard Stadium morethan twice to account forthe number of working poorin Burnaby.Those are thenumbers from a new studytrying to shed light on thegrowing problem in Met-roVancouver and recom-mending action to deal with

the issue.The study by the Canadi-

an Centre for Policy Alter-natives found the number ofworking poor has increasedbetween 2006 and 2012across the region.

However, in Burnaby, thenumber of working poorover the same time periodremained flat, dipping to 9.4per cent in 2012 from 9.6per cent in 2006.

But at 9.4 per cent, theworking poverty rate is stillfourth highest in the regionbehind Richmond,Vancou-ver and GreaterVancouverElectoral Area A.The studyestimates there are 11,110working poor individualsliving in Burnaby.

The study’s author, IglikaIvanova, said governmentsand business leaders oftenclaim the way to deal with

poverty is to create morejobs, but she suggested thenumber of people work-ing but not able to lift out ofpoverty means the econom-

ic system isn’t working.“We have a problem

when working is no longer aguaranteed path out of pov-erty,” she told the NOW.

In Burnaby, 60 per centof the working poor areaged 30 to 54, and 43 percent have children. A break-down shows the largestnumber of working poor arein the South Burnaby andMetrotown area of the city.

The median individualincome (before tax) of Met-roVancouver’s working poorwas $15,040 in 2012.

Ivanova also argued thegrowing rate of workingpoor is creating problemsfor the future, while a lot ofmoney is being spent deal-ing with the consequenc-es of poverty, in places likehealth care and policing.

A federal court of appealdecision to quash approv-al for the Enbridge pipe-line could mean the Cityof Burnaby will have to fileanother court challengeagainst Kinder Morgan’sexpansion once the processmoves further along.

LastThursday’s rulingfound the government ofCanada failed to adequate-ly consult with First Na-tions. According to GregMcDade, a lawyer for the

City of Burnaby, the deci-sion has shed some light onan important legal question:At what step in the approvalprocess does one challengea pipeline decision? So far,Burnaby and other partieshave been filing challengesover the NEB’s recommen-dation, but that’s not the fi-nal step.

“One of the decisions (to-day’s ruling) decided is youcan’t bring a judicial re-view at this point.You haveto wait for the Governor inCouncil’s decision,” he said.“What the court holds is

that you can only file one,and that’s at the end of theprocess.”

On June 17, the City ofBurnaby filed an applicationwith the Federal Court ofAppeal asking for a judicialreview of the National Ener-gy Board’s recommendationto approve the Kinder Mor-gan pipeline expansion proj-ect.The City ofVancouver,theTsleil-Waututh Nationand the Squamish Nationall filed similar applicationschallenging the NEB’s de-cision.

But the NEB doesn’t

have the final say on thepipeline.That comes later,likely in December, fromfederal cabinet, expressedformally as a decision by theGovernor in Council. Sofar,Vancouver, Burnaby andlocal First Nations have ap-pealed at the NEB level, butthey will likely need to chal-

lenge the government’s fi-nal decision if the Liberalschoose to move ahead withKinder Morgan.

Last week’s Enbridge de-cision will likely be appealedat the Supreme Court ofCanada, McDade said.

“We may have to waitto see what the next level

says,” McDade added. “Ifthis decision is right, and itmay very well be, the CityofVancouver and all theseFirst Nations still have acase, they just have to wait.…That was an open ques-tion in the law before. No-body really knew.”

Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan was happy to hearthe news but noted citiesdon’t have nearly the sameclout as First Nations whenit comes to legal challengesagainst pipelines.

have to be made in light ofthe fact that First Nationshave constitutional sta-tus, and the requirements(for) dealing with First Na-tions are much more oner-ous than dealing with cities.That irony is not lost on methat a city of a quarter of amillion people doesn’t havethe ability to get the atten-tion of the courts as well asa First Nation…” he said.“It’s always the difficulty inour system of cities with the

responsibilities we have be-ing the low man on the to-tem pole.”

Corrigan said the courtshave repeatedly rejectedBurnaby’s attempts to up-

hold its bylaws, but if FirstNations aren’t properly con-sulted, it can overturn anentire process.

“It’s really the ace upour sleeve, as cities can’t domuch but First Nations canand will,” he said.

When asked if the FirstNations, Burnaby andVan-couver get together to co-ordinate their anti-pipelineefforts, Corrigan said theirlawyers are all in touch witheach other.

Burnaby’s only Liber-al MP is hosting a town hallmeeting on two issues: cli-mate change and the KinderMorgan pipeline, and localactivists are already planningfor the occasion.

Burnaby North-Seymour MPTerryBeech will hold themeeting on Sat-urday, July 16 at 3p.m. at the Con-federation Com-munity Centre.

BROKE – Burn-aby Residents Op-posing KinderMorgan Expan-sion – is encour-aging people to attend andvoice their concerns aboutclimate change.The Na-tional Energy Board doesn’tconsider climate change im-pacts when assessing pipe-

line projects.The People’s Climate

Plan, a collaborative effortbetween non-profit groups,will host a pre-event meet-ing the same morning, from11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Mc-Gill library branch, rightnext door to Confederation

Community Cen-tre. Beech said hewon’t be surprisedif the event attractsa lot of pipeline op-ponents.

“When peoplearen’t happy aboutsomething, that’sespecially when wewant to hear fromthem,” he said.

Beech said hewants to hear from

community members onboth sides of the issue andthat the next few months arevery important.

“The thing is, I have avoice on this issue; I don’t

have a veto. But the morepeople that are engaged, thestronger my voice can be,”he said.

The federal Liberals haveput together a three-personpanel to consult with com-munities along the pipe-line route.The deadline for

the federal government’s fi-nal decision on the project isDec. 19.

Confederation Commu-nity Centre is at 4595 Al-bert St.

Beech is also planning asecond event, most likely inearly September, with all ofthe federal Liberal MPs inB.C. attending.

WhenpoliticianscomehometoroostThe political battle over

what to do about the Low-er Mainland’s housing cri-sis is starting to shape upas one of defining issuesfacing voters in the longrun-up to next spring’sprovincial election.

In the past week, theNDP called for an in-dependent task force tocrack down on moneylaundering, fraud and taxevasion it says are contrib-

uting to skyrocketing realestate prices.

Interestingly, that hap-pened the same week aChinese bank filed a civilclaim against aVancouver-area man, alleging he tookout close to $10 million inloans before skipping thecountry and sinking themoney into Lower Main-land real estate.

And, reacting to a re-port about shady real es-

tate practices, the Liber-als revoked the industry’sself-governing status. Hav-ing foxes stationed at thehenhouse door had been

introduced by the Liber-al government a numberof years earlier under theguise of “red tape cutting.”

But that was back whenthe housing market hadmore to do with homesfor people to live in, rath-er than a commodity to betraded on spec.The gov-ernment is late to the par-ty, but the move is wel-come and needed.

Cleaning up the indus-

try is one thing. Coolingthe scorching market isanother.

The NDP has proposeda series of measures aimedat curbing the influenceof speculators and foreigncapital.The Liberals haveput forward a few small-er tweaks but largely cho-sen to sidestep that ele-phant in the room, tellingmunicipalities to approvemore development proj-

ects.Expect to hear plenty

more about it from bothsides as they come knock-ing on your door this sum-mer, looking to make sureyour vote has a home withthem.

They partied too hard

Six issuesthatswayB.C.vote

The next provincial elec-tion is just 10 months away,and a handful of issues seemto be emerging as the onesthat may have the biggestimpact on the vote’s out-come.These are the onesgetting more media cover-age – and therefore are be-ing put in front of the vot-ers to a greater extent – thanothers. The list may changein the months ahead, ofcourse, but for now theseare theTop Six:

MEGAPROJECTS:

Both the Site C dam andthe Massey Bridge are high-ly controversial and neatlyprovide a contrast betweenthe two major parties.TheB.C. Liberals, of course, areenthusiastic backers of bothprojects while the NDP op-poses the dam and is criticalof the bridge to replace theaging MasseyTunnel.

HOUSINGAFFORDABILITY:

While not a province-wide issue, it is a big onein MetroVancouver, whereseven B.C. Liberal-held rid-ings could tip the NDP’sway if enough voters thinkthe B.C. government isn’tdoing enough to address thelack of affordable housing inthe region. After taking hertime, Premier Christy Clarkseems to have hit upon agame plan on this front.She has 10 months to earncredibility on this issue, andso far she’s been upstagedby NDP housing critic Da-vid Eby.

K-12 EDUCATION:

There’s a lot of noise be-

ing made in the educa-tion arena, but it’s not clearwhether it will translate tohaving a big impact on theelection. Most voters don’thave children in the schoolsystem and voter turnoutduring school board elec-tions is notoriously low.

Nevertheless, passionsrun high in this area, so it’sone to keep an eye on.

RESOURCEDEVELOPMENT:

Another wedge issue be-tween the pro-developmentB.C. Liberals and the most-ly anti-development NDP.It’s another issue that playsdifferently outside of MetroVancouver than within ur-ban areas, and it should so-lidify the B.C. Liberals’ holdon its up-country seats.

CRIME:

It’s a big issue in a vi-tal battleground area: Sur-rey, where there will now benine ridings up for grabs (anaddition of one). At leasttwo of those ridings couldswing to either party.

LEADERSHIP:

Premier Christy Clark iswell-known, of course, andis a polarizing figure. Hercounterpart, NDP lead-er John Horgan, is not wellknown and needs to provehimself.This can be both anopportunity or a landminefor Horgan.The B.C. Liber-als will be trying hard to de-fine him along very negativelines, so Horgan has to workhard to define himself alongterms he’s comfortable with.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Veterans deserve bestquality of careDear EditorRe: Veterans’ care home layingoff nurses,BurnabyNOW, June 24. I am veryconcerned about the latest news of the im-minent layoff of registered nurses and licensedpractical nurses at the George Derby Centre.

My father did not want to leave his accom-modation in his seniors’ apartment where heenjoyed his independence. At the age of 97,however, he could not manage the complexneeds related to aging and was glad to find awelcoming place where the staff were able toassist him with his care, while respecting hisservice to our country as a Second World Warveteran.

Since he passed away two years ago, I un-derstand that the therapy departments (phys-iotherapy, occupational therapy, art therapy,music therapy, recreation therapy) and thesocial work department have had major staffreductions. As a retired occupation therapist, Iunderstand the need to encourage and main-tain resident independence in challengingcircumstances. This cannot be accomplishedwith minimal professional staffing.

The residents’ care will be further compro-mised when nurses are replaced by staff whohave no history with them and who are paidless to do such a demanding and importantoccupation.

The article mentions possibly cutting costsrelated to food and laundry. If so, there will belittle reason for residents to be motivated toget up every day! The residents have alwaysbeen given a choice of foods and staff havealways ensured they are clean and present-able in their own clothes – two very importantanchors of daily routines.

I reiterate – those who end up living in sucha facility are not there by choice but by need.We need to respect these individuals and thecircumstances that have led to their decreasedindependence. I feel that we are failing ourveterans and civilian residents by providingthem with a warehouse and not a caring, sup-portive, encouraging environment.LaurieMisshula,Burnaby

Time to reinstate freeferry travel for seniorsDear EditorRe: City senior groups get fedbucks,BurnabyNOW, June 29.

Burnaby Community Services’ executive di-rector Stephen D’Souza has expressed interestin gathering ideas for using the money to helpsenior citizens access transit services.

I would like to suggest that some effort bemade to reinstate the free weekday passengerservice for seniors on the B.C. Ferries. Thiswould enable more grandparents to visit theirchildren, grandchildren and others who liveacross the water from them.

After all, it was their generation whodreamed the dream and built it, to have such abeautiful ferry system as part of B.C. Highways.How about showing a little warm-heartedthanks for all this?

Perhaps contributions could be matched bythe different levels of government locally.April Goodman,byemail

Elias IshakWe should just ban allthings that are dangerous, that way wecan all be safe.

Chris Blomskog Thanks BurnabyCity Council for listening to 74% of thepeople in BC who want these grip-ping power breeds muzzled as perrecent polls, and for not giving in to theminority of Pitbull advocates with LionTamer Complex and backyard breeders/ unregulated rescuers who only careabout their profit not improving thehealth, form and temperament of thisstatistically most dangerous breed inthe world.

The report calls for thedevelopment of a com-prehensive poverty reduc-tion plan for B.C. includinga higher minimum wage,stronger employment stan-dards, increased affordablehousing, creation of a $10/day child-care program andmore access to educationand training for low-incomeearners.

But Ivanova said the big-gest thing is to recognizethat the growing number

of working poor is a prob-lem, and the various levelsof government need to worktogether.

Burnaby’s numbers pret-ty much mirrored the rest ofthe region.

The study found 61 percent of MetroVancouverresidents who are stuck be-low the poverty line despitehaving a job are 30 to 54years of age. Just over half ofthe working poor are mar-ried or living common law,and 42 per cent have depen-

dent children.Among Canadian cities,

MetroVancouver has thesecond highest rate of work-ing poverty at 8.7 per centof the working-age popula-tion, after GreaterTorontoat 9.1 per cent.

There are an estimated106,000 people in MetroVancouver in working pov-erty.

What started as everypet owner’s nightmare hasspurred a hopeful fund-raising campaign to benefitfour-legged friends acrossthe province.

In May, dog trainer DoveCresswell lost nine pets tosmoke inhalation after a firebroke out at her Burnabyhome. In memory of Cress-well’s animals, long-timefriend Elisha McCallum hasstarted a fundraising ini-tiative called Happy DogsLegacy. She hopes to raiseenough money to provideevery B.C. fire hall with petoxygen mask kits.

At the time of the fire, theBurnaby Fire Departmenthad just two pet masks.

“(Pet oxygen masks) arenot considered a mandato-ry piece of equipment,” saidMcCallum. “I’m surprised(they aren’t) because of thegrowth of the pet commu-nity, and the compassion offirst responders.”

To date, the initiative hasraised nearly $13,000 of its$15,000 goal.

The Burnaby Fire De-

partment has expressed in-terest in receiving donatedmasks from the campaignso it can outfit all its truckswith three-piece kits.

“We are more than hap-py to accept their donation,”Burnaby fire chief Joe Rob-ertson added.

Robertson said the dona-tions are particularly help-ful since the masks are ex-pensive to purchase at about$180 per kit.

The response from oth-er fire departments in theprovince has also been re-ceptive – so much so thatMcCallum is considering

extending the campaign toraise more money to affordthe demand for masks.

“We’ve received requestsfor 244 oxygen masks, sothat’ll cost around $24,000,at least,” said McCallum.

The Burnaby Fire De-partment is to receive 17new masks from the cam-paign and applauds theHappy Dogs Legacy group.

“It was a bad news sto-ry that some good peopleturned into a good newsstory,” said Robertson.

Can you tell me a littlebit about yourself?

Myself?Well, I’m 78 yearsold, and I’ve been doing thisfor 10 years.

And howmany bikesdo you refurbish?

Last year, I gave the bu-reau 101. All refurbished,looking brand new.

What got you startedin this?

We operate a low-incomehousing project, and whenpeople moved and so on,they often left bicycles be-hind. And they sat out inthe rain and got all rusty,and I thought, “Surely I cando something with these

bikes.”So the first year I gath-

ered up six that were sittingaround outside, broughtthem into the shop, tookthem all apart, sanded andpainted them, got themlooking brand new again,and I thought, “Well nowwhat the hell do I do withthem?”

So a lady that works forus in the travel businesssaid, “Phone my friend thatworks down at the Christ-mas bureau.”

So I phoned Chris Bayl-iss, (executive director ofthe Lower Mainland Christ-mas Bureau), and I said,“Chris, could you use sixreally good refurbished bi-cycles?” and he said, “Ohcould I ever.”

So I sent them down tohim, and he was so im-pressed, he said, “Howabout next year? Could

you do some more for nextyear?” and I said sure. Andthat was 10 years ago.

How do you know howto fix the bikes? Do youhave a background in bi-cycle mechanics?

Nope, just trial and error.

So you’re self-taught?Totally self-taught, but

I’m mechanically inclined. Ilike working with machinesand things like that.

What did you do beforeyou retired?

I was a salesman. I sold

office supplies for Grand &Toy.

Are you the only guydoing the fixing?

No, I have two other guyswho help me on a semi-reg-ular basis and the other oneon a semi-regular basis. Sothere are three of us work-ing on them.

Do you ever get to seethe kids’ reactions whenthey receive the bikes?

No, never.

Why do you keep do-ing it?

Because I know it’s fora better cause. I know thatsome kid that can’t afforda bike, how his eyes willlight up when he sees a re-ally nice bicycle under theChristmas tree. And that’swhy I do it.

I’m sure they freak outwhen they see it.That’s apretty big deal, getting abike when you’re a kid.

Oh yeah, for sure. Plus it’sfun. I enjoy it. I tell peopleI’m smart like a school bus,but I like working with myhands.

Do you want people tobring youmore bikes?

Right now I have 50 towork on.To be honest withyou, I would never turndown kids’ bikes. I’m notlooking for adult bikes atall, just kids’ bikes, becauseChristmas is for the kids asfar as I’m concerned. Adultbikes, I give them to thehomeless people.

That’s nice, so you fixthose up, too?

Only to make them ser-viceable. I don’t paint themat all, just to make them ser-viceable.

With vibrant blue skies, open patios and

the tinkling melody of the ice cream truck,

the sounds and sights of summer in the

Heights are here. Speedily approaching is the

Giro di Burnaby (Tour of Burnaby), a profes-

sional cycling race taking place on Hastings

Street.

Named in honour of the Giro d’Italia (the

second largest pro-cycling race in the world),

the Giro will bring thousands of spectators

to the Heights on Thursday, July 14. Cycling

enthusiast or not, anyone can appreciate the

exciting, fast-paced atmosphere that the Giro

creates.

The race is one of nine occurring between

July 8 and 16 as part of B.C. Superweek.

This nine-day whirlwind is one of North

America’s most prestigious cycling events

and features the Tour de Delta, Gastown

Grand Prix, Giro di Burnaby, PoCo Grand

Prix and Tour de White Rock.

The Giro di Burnaby features a 1.2-kilo-

metre closed-loop course starting at Hastings

and Carleton.

The Boffo Breve (youth race) starts at 5:30

p.m. At 6 p.m. Mayor Derek Corrigan will

start the women’s race. Finally, city coun-

cillor Pietro Calendino will start the men’s

race at 7:15 p.m. Awards will be presented at

approximately 8:30 p.m.

Additionally, there is $15,000 in prize

money up for grabs. Raising the stakes,

primes (pronounced “preems”) are cash

prizes announced at the beginning of a lap.

They intensify the pace because the winner

of that lap also wins the prime.

If you hear a clanging bell, a prime lap

has been announced. As a kid who enjoyed

participating in many sports, I remember lov-

ing competition days because of the electric

atmosphere and feeling of anticipation in the

air. The Giro brings that fun feeling to the

Heights in a way that is accessible to all ages.

The Girolino (kids’ zone) will host ac-

tivities such as bike decorating and safety

checks, ID engraving on bikes and a skills/

obstacle course. It will be located at the grass

lot at the intersection of Willingdon Avenue

and Albert Street. For the adults, several

restaurants will open up their patios and of-

fer Giro specials. Make sure to stick around

between and after the races to take in all that

Burnaby Heights has to offer. For more in-

formation on the Giro di Burnaby, visit www.

Large crowds expected for this year’s Giro raceThere’s little doubt the Giro Di Burnaby is a tradition in the

community.

The cycling race frst got its wheels in 2006 and in the last

decade has grown to become one of the premier events in

the city and, more specifcally, in North Burnaby.

The 2016 version of the race, set for Thursday, July 14, is

expected to be bigger than ever.

This year, the city is bracing for 10,000 spectators to line

the course along Hastings Street to cheer on the riders.

“We’re just continuing to build on what we are now hon-

ing,” said Giro organizer Rainy Kent.

That means there will be a full feld of male and female

cyclists vying for the top prize. The Giro is part of the Super

Week series, a collection of cycling races around the region.

“The Superweek races have just totally grown in profle as

the race on the West Coast,” she said.

If you’re new to the race, the Giro di Burnaby is a single

cycling event, open to male and female cyclists competing

for a total prize purse of more than $15,000, collected from

sponsorship. The race consists of 30 laps of the 1.2-kilome-

tre course for the women and 45 laps for the men.

The race went on hiatus for two years in 2009 and 2010 but

returned with renewed sponsorship for 2011.

For veteran fans, or anyone new who turns out to the race,

the beer gardens will return and the Giro Expo will be a bit

bigger this year.

The expo is an opportunity for spectators to check out the

event sponsors who contribute to the Giro di Burnaby, while

featuring many of the Heights vendors and Giro tent that

has offcial event merchandise.

The expo, at the corner of Hastings Street and Madison

Avenue, will open at 5:30 p.m., while the Steamworks Beer

Garden opens at 6 p.m.

The Girolino, or kids’ zone, is also back this year and in-

cludes bike decorating, bike safety checks, a skills/obstacle

course and riding area and kids’ craft station.

The kids’ zone runs from 3 to 5 p.m. before the race in the

grass lot at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Albert

Street (directly in front of Eileen Dailly Recreation Centre).

Something new to the race this year, Kent noted, will be big

screens at the start/fnish line with cameras set up all around

Professional cyclists will be vying for a purse totallingmore than $15,000 at this year’s Giro di Burnaby. More than 10,000 people are expected toline the streets of the Heights for the big event on July 14. PHOTO FILE

Youth race gets biggerthe course.

“We’re pretty excited about that,” she said.

Also new is a name change for the youth

race to the Boffo Breve, named after the

sponsor Boffo Developments.

Boys between the ages of 12 and 15 and

girls between the ages of 12 and 16 will

race for 20 minutes on a closed-loop circuit.

The youth racers are from all over the

Lower Mainland.

Kent explained having the youth race is

important because it exposes cycle racing to

young people in the community. She hopes

the races will be an “inspirational ladder”

for young people to get to the bigger race.

“People are pretty excited to watch these

young people racing,” Kent said. “People

are surprised they’re out there racing.”

The youth race kicks off at 5:30 p.m.

The event is also provides an opportunity

for organizers to give back.

Part of the race will include “primes” or

sprint contests for money or prizes when

racers cross the start/fnish line on the next

lap. Spectators, including local businesses,

can donate a prize by handing the announc-

er cash during the race.

Kent said 10 per cent of this year’s crowd

prime will go to Exceleration, a multisport

club that caters to children, youth and

adults of all abilities and backgrounds. She

explained using triathlon as a base, the club

trains a wide variety of movement skills and

sport abilities. It offers a venue for athletes

from different sports to keep ft and cross

train, for fun, family and ftness.

The women’s race will start at 6 p.m. and

the men’s race will start at about 7:15 p.m.

Hastings Street and the surrounding streets

are required to be closed to local traffc

from 4 to 10 p.m. with restricted parking in

the immediate area beginning at 3 p.m.

the Giro, go to www.girodiburnaby.com.

the event, including the day’s schedule, the

In my last column, wesaw stress as an essentialpart of our lives.

It can be positive whenit moves us to change andgrow, but it affect our mindsand bodies in negative wayswhen we are overwhelmed.This happens when there’sjust too much of it: morethan we can handle giventhe time, abilities and sup-port that we have at hand.

But sometimes, it is ourperspective that needs tochange. It’s been said that20 per cent of our emotion-al reaction is due to the re-ality of a situation; 80 percent is what we bring into it– our assumptions, attitudesand memories.

Most of us don’t thinkmuch about stress until weare right in the middle ofit. Suddenly, we’re over-whelmed.What can youdo each day to maintain ahealthy balance and managestress more positively?

Be a good parent to your-self.

The best advice I can givemy patients is essentiallythe advice my good parentsgave to me.

1. BEGOOD: LIVE IN

ACCORDWITHYOUR

VALUES.

My parents both taughtand modelled ethical be-haviour. Doing the rightthing keeps your conscienceclear and helps you sleep

at night.Telling the truth iseasier than remembering allthe lies you could tell. Be-ing kind just makes you feelgood.

Doing work we are pas-sionate about with peoplewe care about makes eachmoment more meaningful.

2. THINKBEFOREYOU

SPEAKORACT: REFLECT.

If you are operating onautomatic, you may end upfar from your original desti-nation. If you respond onlyto your emotions, you’ll bereactive in what you say anddo.

Throughout your day,pause and reflect upon yourwords and actions. “Am Ibeing mindful of my words?Am I doing good work? AmI helping or harming?”

3. CHOOSEGOOD

FRIENDS,ANDTALKTO

THEM.

We all need the supportof friends we trust and wholove us without question.They listen when we needto vent, and they care aboutus enough to set us straightwhen we’re on the wrongpath.

The value of such a sup-port group is even more im-portant when we grow upand cope with the manyroles and stages of our lives,including parenthood, rela-tionship crises, midlife andretirement.

4. BUTREMEMBER FAMILY

COMES FIRST.

I didn’t get it when mymom told me this during

my teens. “Friends and girl-friends come and go, butfamily is always here foryou.” She was right again.

Too often we neglect ourpartners and children be-cause of work and othermisplaced priorities. If wewait too long, we mistakefamily relationships to bethe source of our stress.

The time you invest inyour most important rela-tionships is never wasted.

5. GOOUTANDPLAY.

We all need regular (aimfor daily) exercise. It cankeep you fit, burn off steamand help you manage therest of the day.

6. DON’TSKIPMEALS.

Schedule regular healthy

meals to keep your energyup and your body healthy.What you save in time byskipping a meal, you lose infatigue and poor health.

7. TAKEABREAK.

Our brains and bodieswere not designed to workwithout a break for morethan a few hours at a time.We all need regular breaksto maintain our attentionand energy.

8. GOTOBED.

Get enough sleep eachnight.DavidicusWong is a fam-

ily physician and his Health-wise columns appear regularlyin this paper.For more, see hiswebsite at www.davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

WildcatsathletescelebratedBurnaby Central’sathletes honoured forachievements

The Burnaby CentralWildcatscapped the high school year lastmonth with its athletic banquet, cele-brating the best of 2015-16 season.

This year’s Male and Female Grade12 athletes of the year are NathanMah and ReesaWright.

Mah’s accomplishments reflectedhis dedication to his sport and schoolwork, as the track and field star willcontinue his pursuit at Simon FraserUniversity. He won silver at the pro-vincials in the senior 200-metre dash,and anchored theWildcats’ third-placefinish in the 4 x 100m relay. An an-kle injury, suffered while posting thequickest time in the qualifying heat,resulted in a fourth-place showing inthe 100m dash. At the regionals, hewon both the senior male 100- and200m dashes.

“Nathan was a stand-out track andfield athlete who is going to be run-ning for SFU next year,” remarkedathletic director Curtis Hodgson. “Heanchored the 4x100 (relay) to a third-place finish at provincials… (Mah is )also an outstanding leadership studentat Central.”

Wright was involved with threesports – basketball, soccer and ulti-mate. She was the MVP of her seniorsoccer team and served as an athleticcommunity role model.

“Toughness. High basketball IQ.Leadership.Words bantered about sogenerously they have lost some of theirlustre,” noted Central senior girls bas-ketball co-coach Peter van den Hoo-gen. “In Reesa’s case though, they areiron clad statements about her char-acter and ability. Coach Chris Duch-arme and myself hold Reesa in thehighest regard because she is a tre-mendous athlete, school ambassadorand fierce competitor, but most im-portantly because she gives back tothe game, and is a good-hearted kid.”

Chancousinsunite forkaratemedalsMelissa scores gold, Izzy captures bronze at theYouthWorld Cup in [email protected]

There were expectations, therewas pressure, and there was theexperience.

Melissa Chan was able tocheck off all three en route to aYouthWorld Cup karate goldmedal last week in Croatia.

The Burnaby teen, in just hersecond year of international com-petition, was part of a 40-ath-lete team representing Canada atthe event in Umag, Croatia. Oneof six members of the BurnabyKarate Academy on the roster,Melissa credited her cousin andteammate, Isabel Chan, aka Izzy,for helping prepare her from thevery start.

“I’ve never competed at theYouth Cup in Croatia, so this wasa completely new experience forme,” Melissa replied in an emailfrom Europe to the NOW. “Itrained for this competition like Ihave any other tournament.Thepreparation was the same as al-ways, training with my cousinIzzy.”

That preparation was vital un-der the spotlight of representingCanada in 16-17 girls 48-kilo-gram kumite.

A Burnaby South student,Melissa said earlier round winshelped build her confidence anda calm resolve that carried herinto the gold medal match withSpain’s Ana Palomo Lorenzo.

“Oddly enough, I felt reallycalm and relaxed going into fi-nals,” she said. “I knew that I didall the hard work to get to (the)finals so it was time to just havefun. I think the key was to not getstressed and nervous, otherwisemy game would be thrown off.

“It also helped having all myfriends cheering me on and hav-ing (junior national kumite coachDenis Beaudoin) in my corner.”

That supportproved helpful asthe 16-year-oldbeat competitorsfrom Serbia, Aus-tria and Bosnia byscores of 8-1, 6-0and 5-0, setting upa final she’d win3-0.

Her biggest ad-vantage, she said, was having atraining partner whose intensityand support fuelled her own.

“Most of all, I truly believe thatI would not be here without thesupport of Izzy. She is the key tomy success and everything I haveachieved in karate.”

For the older Chan, this wasthe third international competi-tion and secondWorld Juniors.Izzy parlayed her own experi-ence and hard work into a bronzemedal, edging a Romanian rival3-1 for the honour.

Her route to the 18-20 wom-en’s bronze in -50kg division sawher beat a Croatian 1-0, then re-

bound from a close 1-0 loss toDenmark with a 6-0 victory overa Romanian, followed by the finalwin for the medal.

With both Chans makingthe Canadian roster, there wasa comfort zone and familiaritywhich helped in all parts of prep-aration, including the final.

For Melissa, the influence ofIzzy played a role in her taking upthe sport at the age of four, even.

“I started ka-rate in kindergar-ten when SenseiSandeep (Gill ofthe Burnaby Kara-te Academy) orga-nized and taughtan after-school ka-rate program atmy school. Mymom enrolled me

in it because she knew that mycousins did karate and wanted tosee if I would like it too.

“As it turns out, I guess youcould say I liked it.”

Over the years her style haschanged and matured, shiftingfrom a defensive mode to a bitmore offensive.

“I would say my strength is my‘gyaku,’ which is a reverse punch,and I do plan on using it quite abit.”

Prior to theYouthWorld Cup,Melissa competed at the 2015U.S. Open, finishing third, andthe Pan American championshipsin Bolivia last year, where she

placed seventh and gained valu-able experience.

“The main goal going into theYouthWorld Cup was to justhave fun and gain experience. Iknew the Europeans would betough competitors, so I just hadto do the best that I could…

“When I won finals, I was ec-static. I’m not the type of personto show it in the ring, but once Igot off to the sidelines it was timeto celebrate.”

The Canadian team also se-cured two silvers and three morebronze.

For Melissa, a result like thisexpands her horizons. It alsosparks bigger, bolder goals – onesshe is eager to embrace.

“The big goal that everyone isworking towards isWorlds, whichis happening next year in thefall,” she said. “I am also look-ing forward to the next compe-tition, which is the Pan Ameri-can championships in Ecuador(in August)… Of course, we areall hopeful that karate will beaccepted into the 2020TokyoOlympics, in which case (that)would be something else to lookforward to.”

Also representing Canada fromthe Burnaby Karate Academywere Angelica Gomez-Lalonde,in 16-17 girls -59kg, Jai Sang-hera, in 16-17 boys +59kg, Bren-dan Ly, in 18-20 boys +84kg,and Michael Plunkett, in 14-15boys -52kg.

Oddlyenough, Ifelt reallycalmandrelaxed

going intofinals.
