When Burnaby’s Flor Padilla signed upfor an evening ukulele class at EdmondsCommunity Centre, she already sensedtrouble.

She had planned to bring her two youngchildren to sit on the sidelines, since therewas no child-minding beyond noon at Ed-monds. But when she called to see if thatwas OK with the centre, the answer was no,and she had to drop the class.

That wasn’t the first time.There was alsothe “fitness fiasco,” when Padilla was toldshe could no longer attend aWednesdayevening class at Cameron with her kids be-

cause they were a liability.“Yeah they were noisy, because they were

chatting it up, but I didn’t see any liabil-ity issues.There was no heavy equipment.They were in my care,” Padilla told theNOW. “I was told nobody complained. Itwas strictly because of their policy, which isnot written down, … that children are notallowed in a fitness class.”

Padilla left confused and angry. Padillaworks in a government office during theday, and her husband works long hours,so she has taken her kids to classes, eventhough she knows it’s not ideal. Her kidsare two and four years old.They entertainthemselves on the sidelines with toys, andthey are also enrolled in a host of their ownactivities.

In an email to Padilla, Cameron’s su-pervisor, Robin Juergensen, apologized forthe fitness class situation and empathizedwith Padilla as a working mother, but shealso explained Burnaby’s recreation centresdon’t let children sit in on adult classes.

“To assist parents to participate in recre-ational activities for themselves, we do pro-vide child-minding services at locations andtimes where there is sufficient demand forthe service,” Juergensen wrote. “This is aconsistent practice in City of Burnaby rec-reation facilities for the safety of the childand participants, because there is a risk ofinjury to the child in an adult activity anda risk the child may inadvertently cause in-jury to a participant.This practice is not

Some Albert Street residents may haveexperienced a sinking feeling when they re-turned home from work Monday.

The street between Gamma and Deltaavenues was cordoned off after a sinkholedeveloped there Monday around noon, ac-cording to MarilynTowill, MetroVancouv-er’s division manager for transmission op-erations, water services.

According toTowill, the sinkhole is a re-sult of water flowing beneath the road,washing away the gravel bed under the as-phalt.

“We’re still investigating the cause of thewater and the dam-age to the street,”she said, adding itdoesn’t look likeresidential proper-ties have sustainedany damage at thispoint.

“Because of theslope of the land,the water was con-tained primarily tothe road,”Towill said.

There were also no reports of injuries,according toTowill.

“We are pleased with that,” she said.MetroVancouver is working with the

City of Burnaby to determine the sourceof the water, as both the regional authorityand the city have done infrastructure workin the area in recent years,Towill said.

A crew from MetroVancouver was onsiteTuesday morning, beginning repairwork on the sinkhole.

They will peel back the asphalt and re-place the gravel fill before repaving the

Stewart reacts to news story saying foreign land speculators are snapping up old rental apartments in Burnaby

[email protected]

The Stoney Creek Environment Committee celebratedits 25th anniversary this past weekend and released thou-sands of coho smolts into the water to bolster the localsalmon population. As always, the volunteer streamkeeperscalled on local families to help set the tiny fish free.

“It went really well. It was a gorgeous day, and everybodythought there were more people this year than there werebefore,” said Alan James, a volunteer streamkeeper with theStoney Creek Environment Committee.

James guessed that around 2,000 people came out.Adults and children helped by taking plastic bags of fish tothe creek, where they let them swim away.

The Kanaka Creek hatchery supplied the smolts, whichare just over a year old, and they leave the creek for theopen ocean soon after their release.The streamkeepers’

hopes are the salmon will return to the Burnaby creek tospawn.This round of salmon had their fins clipped, sostreamkeepers will be able to tell if any fish from this year’srelease made it back alive.They’ll look for the clipped finswhen they count the dead spawners in the fall.

“In the past, we got fish back, but we don’t know if theyare fish from the fish release or they were born there,” Jamessaid.

Overall, James said the Stoney Creek salmon populationis “doing pretty well.”

“We had reasonable returns last fall, not as good as theprevious year, but still substantial,” he said, adding the sal-mon’s survival probability is mostly determined by openocean conditions, which includes predators and foodsources.

“The small bit the streamkeepers have done is so thatwhen they do come back, they have a place to spawn,” hesaid.

Burnaby MP Kennedy Stewartis renewing his call for StatisticsCanada and the Canada Mort-gage and Housing Corporation toconduct a housing study, whichwould include data on foreignproperty ownership.

Stewart’s raised the issue follow-ing a Business inVancouver articlestating foreign owners were snap-ping up property around Burn-

aby’s main town centres.“It could be that there’s a lot

of foreign investment, and weget the sense that seems to be inBurnaby,” Stewart told the NOW.“That’s definitely been the case inother municipalities.”

But to be sure, Stewart wouldlike to see the two federal agenciesconduct proper studies.

“We don’t really know the ex-tent of whether this is happen-ing or not,” Stewart said, addingcities don’t have the time and re-sources to do the work. “CMHC

and Stats Can are supposed to behelping us understand what’s hap-pening with housing markets, andthey just don’t do this work.”

According to Business InVancou-ver, Burnaby’s been hit by a “waveof land speculators led by main-land Chinese buyers (who are)snapping up old Burnaby rentalapartment buildings, driving perdoor prices above $350,000 andrazing the units for highrise con-dominium construction.”

Stewart said there’s no real wayto tell how many foreigners are

buying local property, becausesometimes domestic companiesmake the purchases for them.

Last fall, Stewart tabled a mo-tion on affordable housing in theHouse of Commons, which pro-posed examining the impact ofinvestor speculation and hous-ing vacancies on the high price ofreal estate in GreaterVancouver.It’s unlikely federal MPs will de-bate that before they dissolve Par-liament before next election, atwhich point the motion becomesnull and void.

Coun. Colleen Jordan chairsthe city’s committee responsiblefor affordable housing. She agreedwith Stewart’s proposal.

“It’s something that prettyclearly needs to be studied andexamined, rather than a wholebunch of people giving anecdotalevidence.We need to know whatrole foreign ownership plays,” shesaid.

Jordan was not aware of any cityefforts to track foreign ownership.

Burnaby’s main anti-pipeline group wants lo-cal residents to talk to theirneighbours about KinderMorgan and prepare ques-tions for an upcomingmeeting.

BROKE, Burnaby Res-idents Opposing KinderMorgan Expansion, is host-ing a town hall meeting onsafety, health and environ-mental concerns related tothe Kinder Morgan pipelineexpansion.

“Taxpayers have alwaysborne the costs associatedwith emergency response,including evacuations andmedical care resulting fromoil pipeline failure, oil spillsand noxious gases fromtank farms and substations,”said Elsie Dean, a foundingmember of BROKE. “Thecompanies that are found

responsible for spills and oilpipeline ruptures should paynot only for cleanup, but forall emergency and medicalcare as well, not the peoplewho live here.”

The meeting isWednes-day, May 20, at ForestGrove Elementary, from7 to 9 p.m. The speak-

ers list includes representa-tives from theTsleil-Wau-tuth Nation, Mayor DerekCorrigan, Dipak Dattanifrom the city’s engineeringdepartment, local residentJohn Clark, SFU professorAngela Brooks, and deputyfire chief Chris Bowcock.

“I expect it’ll be a fewdays,” she said.

The roadway is blockedto traffic andTowill ad-vises people in the area tostay clear of the sinkhole it-self, as the ground is unevenaround it.

“The area is barricadedoff for public safety,” she

said. “We ask people to re-spect the barricades that arein place.”

MetroVancouver esti-mated the sinkhole was 1.2metres deep, 4.8 metreslong and 1.8 metres acrossas of Monday night.

Don’tholdyourbreathonthisoneA story by Business in

Vancouver, a sister publi-cation of Burnaby NOW,is raising quite a ruckus.BIV’s story said a wave

of land speculators led bymainland Chinese buyers issnapping up old Burnabyrental apartment buildings,driving per door pricesabove $350,000.The buy-ers, of course, hope to flipthese parcels of land to de-velopers who want to buildhighrises.The land rush is

centred around four tran-sit-linked Burnaby towncentres, where, accordingto BIV, at least three dozenapartment rental buildingshave been bought for dem-olition in the past year.

This really shouldn’t bea surprise. Foreign specu-lation on B.C. real estateis not news.What differen-tiates this story from pre-vious ones is that a brokeractually provided some de-tails and figures.

BenWilliams, a bro-ker with Burnaby-basedLondon Pacific PropertyAgents Inc., told BIV that,

“At least 95 per cent of re-cent (new) condominiumsales in Metrotown are bybuyers of Chinese descent.”

Many of those foreignowners of the new con-dos are putting them up asrental stock, but these willnot be rented for $1,000.The average investor condoin MetroVancouver rentsfor $1,400. And with a va-cancy rate of 0.7 per centit’s a good business to getinto.

Burnaby MP StewartKennedy called for a studyon the whole deal in an ef-fort to get a handle on whatpolicies or rules could beput in place to ensure thatthe market is not driven en-tirely by foreign ownership.

The city has no real ju-risdiction over such things,and can really only try tohelp those who have beenevicted when their oldapartment buildings arerazed.

Stewart’s gesture is, un-fortunately, just that. It is acry into the dark. It is clearthat both the federal andprovincial government haveno intention of doing any-thing about this issue. Itmight, after all, slow downthe cash flow. And that, aswe know, for the politicalleaders in power, is all thatmatters.

They occupy oppositepoints of the political spec-trum, but I bet PremierChristy Clark and new-ly-elected premier-designateRachel Notley of Albertawill get along just fine in theyears ahead.

That’s not to say Clarkwon’t secretly hope thatNotley’s government fallsflat on its face from time totime.That’s because any se-rious miscue by the AlbertaNew Democrats will reflectbadly on the B.C. NDP.

Certainly the odds favourNotley looking at a veryrocky road ahead.

While Notley establishedherself as a first-rate polit-ical campaigner, almost allthe caucus members shehelped get elected have zeroexperience in running gov-ernment at any level and infact lack experience in prettymuch of anything other thanteaching, nursing and so-cial work. And the circum-stances for this untried anduntested youthful gang ofpolitical novices to takepower couldn’t be moredaunting: government fi-nances are in terrible shape,the province’s number 1 in-dustry (oil extraction) isgasping for air, and there isno relief in sight.

Aside from the inexperi-ence problem, there is theissue of the Alberta NDP’spolicy platform. I suspectmost voters’ intent was fo-cused on kicking out theProgressive Conservativegovernment and saw theNDP as the best horse toride to accomplish that goal,

and paid less attention towhat the NDP was actuallyproposing to do.

Notley has said she willraise corporate taxes by one-fifth, gradually raise theminimum wage to $15 anhour and likely raise oil andgas royalties, as well as con-sider a new regulatory re-gime for the oil industry.

Already, there are signsthe business community inAlberta is hyperventilating.

This is all well and goodfor those who hate the busi-ness community, or atleast the fossil fuel indus-try. But any fleeing of busi-ness from Alberta meansan economic downturn,and less government fund-ing for health care, educa-tion and social services (orhigher taxes and/or debt).Of course, B.C. would standto benefit from any businessthat relocates in this prov-ince because of a friendliertax regime, something Clarkwill no doubt seize upon forher political advantage.

In the short term, how-ever, look for Clark andNotley to forge an allianceon a number of issues.Thenew Alberta premier willlikely support Clark’s fiveconditions when it comesto the approval of pipelinesrunning through B.C., andthe two will probably worktogether on climate changeissues. Clark will be wish-ing her new colleague all thebest, but only up to a certainpoint, especially as the nextB.C. election draws nearer .

Surprise, surprise:City blames Liberals

CraigWhat a surprise, theBurnabymunicipal government, all N.D.Pcard carryingmembers, blaming theprovincial government for the increasein city taxes.The reason taxes are goingupapprox.3%as theydoevery single year is be-causeofmany reasons, not just one.For instance, as of 2013Burnabyhad184peoplemakingmore than$100,00a year, Thatwas a 27.8% increasefrom2012. I couldn’t find the figuresfor 2014but I think it’s safe to say it hasincreased.Burnaby council has beenon recordsaying that someof the increase isbecauseofmunicipalwages goingupacross theboard. That has nothing todowith theProvincial government.The city keepsmaking approx. 30-40millionper year interest on the citiesinvestments and then sit on it.It’s hard tobelieve the city needs tocollect all thismoney. Theymakean-nouncements about city projects andthen sit on them for years. Edmondspark, formerly knownasRichmondpark hasbeenunder construction for 3years now.TheBeresford artwalk hasbeentalkedabout for years but has reallynothing to show for it. If youwantimprovements in your streets lightingor sidewalk the street residents havetopay for it, your city taxeswill not payfor that.Burnaby city hall is onebig piggybankfor unions and their friends.

because we don’t encouragefamilies to recreate together,we actually offer a variety ofactivities for families to betogether at Cameron Centreand other City of Burnabyrecreation facilities.”

Most of the city’s rec cen-tres offer child-minding for$4.60 per hour, but onlyfrom 9 a.m. to noon, whichdoesn’t really help work-ing parents who want to at-tend evening classes, Padillapointed out.

In neighbouring New

Westminster, CentennialCommunity Centre offerschild-minding for the sameprice, seven days a weekand as late as 6:30 p.m. onweekdays.

“There should be some-thing available in the eve-ning, especially for adultslike myself,” she said.

Of course, Padilla couldalways call a sitter, but thatcan be costly.

“We live in the most ex-pensive city. For me to havea private babysitter everytime I want to do an activity

would be costly,” she said.What Padilla would re-

ally like to see is some child-minding available in the

evenings.“I’m not trying to be

a bitch or anything, but ifyou expect young familiesto move into Burnaby youhave to help us a little bit,”she said.

The NOW contactedJuergensen and Dave Ellen-wood, the city’s parks direc-tor, but did not hear backby deadline.

Public Comment PeriodConsideration to Amend Permit No. 2012 – 072Direct Transfer Coal Facility

May 4 – 19, 2015

Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) is considering applying to amend its existingpermit from Port Metro Vancouver (Permit No. 2012 – 072) that gives itconditional approval to build and operate a Direct Transfer Coal Facility withinits existing lease area.

The proposed amendment would have no impact on the volume of coalpermitted to be shipped through FSD (4 million metric tonnes per year). Itwould allow FSD to load coal directly from the facility to ocean-going vesselseliminating or reducing the number of barges required.

Please visitwww.fsd.bc.ca/amendment to review the changes to theexisting permit that FSD is considering and provide feedback on theproposed scope of the studies, which will assess the difference between theuse of ocean-going vessels and barges.

www.fsd.bc.ca/amendment

Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) is the largest employer on the FraserRiver waterfront, with more than 300 full-time employees. FSDhas been a major employer and contributor to local communitiesfor over 50 years, handling over 3 billion dollars-worth of goodsannually.

White, a retired Burn-aby fire captain, was alreadyraising money for the Nep-alese families he works withthrough his Mount Everesttrekking company after thefirst quake hit on April 25.News of the second quakehasWhite worried, as theepicentre is much closer toEverest.

“I was shocked and alsovery concerned because ofwhere it’s happened now.The people that were therein that region, their housefell down, but the (first)earthquake was miles andmiles away,”White told theBurnaby NOW Tuesdaymorning. “Now, the earth-quake is right underneaththeir house. It’s going to bea real concern.”

White is a legend in Ne-pal, where he’s run his trek-king company for the past12 years.The Nepalesefamilies he works with callhim “papa,” and some be-lieve he is their father rein-carnated.

White launched a Fund-Aid campaign on May 5hoping to raise $35,000,which would cover the costsof new homes for sevenfamilies. Since then, he’sraised more than $13,000online – that’s not countingthe thousands in pledgesand donations coming fromhis network of mountaintrekkers and firefighters.

Meanwhile,White hasbeen calling and emailingNepal, but the phone linesare overloaded, so he hasno idea if everyone is OK.White’s families are in theKhumbu region surround-ing Everest.

“Funny, I was just talkingto two of my Sherpa fami-lies last night about the re-construction and materi-als needed after the quake,”he said. “When you havean earthquake like that, youdon’t have another one for100 years or so – I just toldthem that last night.”

The April 25 quake mea-sured 7.8 on the Richterscale and left more than

8,000 dead, 18,000 injuredand countless people sleep-ing outdoors. Tuesday’squake has only added tothe death toll; at least 66 aredead, and those numberswill likely rise.

White is also hosting afundraising party, cloth-ing drive and dinner at hishome to help gather moreaid for Nepal.To donate, goto www.fundaid.ca/nepal.

It really seems likeyou’re living the dreamright now:working as adancer in NewYork City.Did you ever imaginethis future when you firststarted dancing?

No, I certainly did not,I feel tremendously fortu-nate to have experiencedwhat I have. I’ve had twoankle surgeries (one at 17and one at 19) which now Iunderstand was fairly nor-mal within our industry, butit was pretty scary back inthe day.

What got you intodance in the first place?

It’s sort of a crazy story.My family had just movedto Burnaby from Albertaand my mother was look-ing for an after school ac-tivity for me.We ended upliving just down the street

from the original locationof Danzmode Productions,and I could walk there afterschool – in a way sometimesit feels like dance found me.I was about 11 and had onlydabbled in musical the-atre, so I was a total late-comer to the serious com-petitive dance world (manygirls start dancing at two orthree). I had no clue what I

was doing but yet somehowignorance was total bliss – Ijust loved it, and it felt natu-ral to me, like it was alwaysthere waiting for me.

How did your earlydance experiences inBurnaby influence yourfuture success?

Massively. Rachel Porier(of Danzmode) took me

under her wing despite mylack of experience and un-derstanding, the older girlstaught me how to do somuch, it was a real commu-nity -- how to do my hair,sew my ballet shoes. Rachelsaw my strengths and weak-nesses and was the first totell me the importance ofclassical ballet technique.I promptly started half-day; as I was about half-way through Grade 8 at Pa-cific Dance Arts (BoundaryRoad and Lougheed), that’swhen I started to get seriousabout dance. LiYaming (orMr. Li as we call him) hasbeen an incredible teacherand mentor to me. He pro-vided me with so many op-portunities, taught me howto focus and be intelligentwhen approaching move-ment.

The Netherlands hasplayed a big part in yourdance success – you at-tended Codarts Univer-sity of theArts and werea contestant on the Neth-

erlands/Belgium ver-sion of SoYouThinkYouCan Dance. How do youthink those European ex-periences have helped toshape you as a dancer?

There is certainly danceculture shock that happenedfor me when I entered theEuropean dance world.

European contemporarydance really favours move-ment that is very grounded,clean in transitions, a lot offlow and release, whereas inNorth America, we tend tolearn how to execute a lot oftechnical tricks with ease. Ibelieve both have their placein the dance world, the lat-

ter certainly helping on SY-TYCD. I think being able todraw on both backgroundshas broadened my move-ment vocabulary, allowingme to make more interest-ing decisions around mydancing – hopefully makingme interesting to watch.

Being on SYTYCDmust have been anamazing experience,but I imagine it was alsopretty stressful.Tell us abit about what dancingin that competitive, tele-vised environment waslike?

Doing SoYouThinkYouCan Dance was a child-hood dream come true; oneI didn’t even know I haduntil it all started happen-ing. During the first liveshow when the famous SY-TYCD theme song cameon and the the girls were in-troduced, I was shaking, Icouldn’t believe it was hap-pening!The whole situationis designed to push you to

your limits, I learned somuch about myself andtrusting in my abilities. Idon’t think I’ve ever workedso focused in my life.

Was it tough to returnto the “real world” afterbeing part of SYTYCD?

The morning I wokeup in my own bed insteadof the contestant housingwas very strange and terri-bly quiet. I missed the othercontestants and crew I hadgrown so close with. It’s in-credible how quickly a per-son can get used to being ina pressure cooker.When it’sgone, it certainly took me

some time to adjust.

Another huge oppor-tunity for you was beingchosen to be part of theJacobs Pillow Dance Fes-tival.Tell us a bit aboutthat.

Attending Jacobs PillowDance Festival was a gamechanger for me. It’s such aunique place being in themiddle of the Berkshires,where everyone is broughttogether by a shared love ofdance. It was the first time Iwas so entrenched with like-minded people who valuedthe arts unapologetically.Being selected as one of 12women to attend was abso-

lutely surreal. Having oftenfelt a little like a lone rangerin my career, attending thePillow made me a part ofsomething bigger than my-self, mostly it inspired me tothink big and feel validated.

Is there any particu-lar style of dance that ap-peals most to you?

I do enjoy a level of vari-ety in my dancing, though

my heart will always go outthe most to athletic contem-porary dance or neo-classi-cal pieces.

What are you up toright now?

I am currently freelanc-ing, auditioning and teach-ing. I have been offered acontract for a internationaltour with a contempo-rary company but am wait-

ing for details before I cansay more. It’s a very excit-ing time, it is a pretty highstakes game in NewYork.Everyday demands you tobe your best and to be ableto juggle multiple thingsat all times. I try to take adaily class at either Perid-ance, Steps on Broadwayand Gibney Dance to stayin shape. I am also currentlycollaborating on a dance on

film product with some fel-low Jacobs Pillow alumni!

Do you still considerBurnaby home?What doyoumiss most about be-ing here?

For me, home can befound in the ones you love.Many of my closest friendsare back in Burnaby, so Ithink in many ways it willalways feel like home.

Q. Is gluten-freedog food thebest choice for dogswithfoodallergies?

A. The word gluten describes theprotein portion of a carbohydrate.It is found in grains such as wheatand barley. Like almost all dietaryingredients, gluten is neitherinherently good nor bad. Gluten issurely one of the proteins that can

cause allergies, but is no worse than chicken or beef.Therefore, while gluten-free dog food may be theideal choice for a small subset of dogs that exhibitgluten-specific sensitivity; it is not the best food forall dogs. The most common cause of canine foodallergy is other protein sources such as chicken, beefand milk products.

ASK A FINANCIAL ADVISOR

A. Virtually any asset upon which taxes have been deferredwill be subject to tax upon death. This includes the full valueof your RRSP or RRIF, as well as half the gain on any non-registered assets, including recreational property, stock, andother investments.

Tax implications on these assets can be significant. Forexample, if the cottage you purchased 30 years ago for $50,000 has appreciatedin value to $450,000, your estate could face a tax bill of $90,000 on the cottagealone. An RRSP or RRIF containing $200,000 of assets would also be cut almost inhalf once taxed.

Canadians can bequeath capital property –“rolling over”proceeds of RRSPs or RRIFs directlyto their spouse or common law partner with no immediate tax consequences. This will deferthe tax liability until their death.

Rather than selling assets or borrowing cash to pay fees and taxes, consider purchasing ajoint second-to-die life insurance policy to preserve your estate. The proceeds on death ofthe surviving spouse can be applied to cover the estate’s tax liabilities and other debts. If youhave any questions or concerns regarding these issues, feel free to contact me.

Q. I own an RRSP portfolio, a home, a cottage, and astock portfolio. When I die, which of these assetswill my family have to pay taxes on and howmuch?

Q. Should I buy a pre-sale home forinvestment?

A. If you could buy a $5 lottery ticket that could potentiallywin $30,000 in 3 years, would you buy it? I know this soundstoo good to be true, but I have personally done this andhelped many others do it as well. Of course, you need to pickthe right development, select a well-designed unit, and mostimportantly, at a location that is bursting to transform. Atmostdevelopments, youmayfindaproperty that is priced$20,000 to$50,000 lower than a similar built unit in the same area. All youhave todo iswait 2-3 years for that community tobe completed

and secure that home with a 15% to 20% deposit. This is a forward-moving, prosperous andgrowing city. The explosion of mostly good growth will continue and that means real estateprices will rise over the medium and long-term. If you bet against Vancouver, you will lose.Welcome to the best city to live in.

A. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is thebackflow of stomach contents (including stomach acid)upward into the esophagus. GERD is the most common acid-related condition in Canada, affecting 10-20% of the westernworld. Adults, children, & even infants can have GERD.Alcoholic drinks, chocolate, coffee, tea, cola, highly acidicfoods (e.g., tomatoes, orange juice), fried or fatty foods, garlic,

onions, and spicy foods can cause GERD symptoms. The main symptom of GERD is heartburn - aburning pain behind the breastbone that can travel to the back of the throat. The pain can lastup to two hours and is often worsened by eating, lying down, or bending over. Other symptomsinclude regurgitation, a sour or bitter taste in the throat or back of the mouth, excessive saliva,belching, upset stomach, or vomiting. Symptoms are generally worse after meals.Most symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes.Medications that neutralize stomach acid (e.g., aluminum or magnesium hydroxide, calciumcarbonate, bismuth subsalicylate) or reduce the production of stomach acid (e.g., ranitidine,famotidine, omeprazole, pantoprazole, esomeprazole) can be used.In addition tomedications, symptoms can be improved bymaking some lifestyle changes. Eatingsmaller meals more frequently, instead of 2 or 3 large meals, and avoiding lying down 2-3 hoursafter meals can help. Reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, stopping smoking, losing excessweight, and exercising regularly can also improve symptoms.

ASK A HEARING AID PRACTITIONER

Identifying and addressing hearing loss early brings many benefits. Fromenhancing your quality of life, to helping protect against several healthconsequences linked to unaddressed hearing loss, the case for earlytreatment is strong.Perhaps the most compelling reason to never put off a hearing test andtreatment, however is simply this:We“hear”with our brain, not withour ears.When we have a hearing loss, the connections in the brain thatrespond to sound become reorganized.Fortunately, for many people, hearing aids can provide the sound

stimulation needed for the brain to restore the normal organization of connections to its “sound center”so it can more readily react to the sounds that it had been missing and cognitively process them.

In fact, the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. And dramaticnew technological advances have completely transformed hearing aids in recentyears, making themmore effective, comfortable, and easy to use. So the sooneryou identify hearing loss and start using professionally fitted hearing aids ifrecommended by a hearing healthcare professional, the sooner you’ll beginto reap the rewards of better hearing.

Q.Domy shoes fit!?

3713 Kensington Ave (inside theFortius Sport & Health building)

604-299-8851fitfirst.ca

A. Everyday runners,walkers and workout enthusiasts walk intoour doors with ill-fitting shoes. To avoid those dreaded black toenails, numbing feet, and annoying slippage in the heel, follow thesetips when choosing your next shoe!RunningOne should have about a thumbs width between the end of theirlongest toe and the end of the shoe,when they are standing andfully weight bearing. One requires more than that recommendedamount of space if they are running longer than a 10K run. Thegeneral fit of the shoe should be comfortably snug,with particularattention to the heel and back half of the foot. It is fine (and oftenbetter) to have wiggle room in the front of the foot,with toes feelingas they can spread and wiggle without touching the end of the shoe.

CourtOne should fit a court shoe slightly more snug than a runner, but not so that the foot goesnumb during use. Snugness in a court shoe will provide more dependable lateral support,usefulwhen stopping short or changing directions quickly on the court. Make sure you stillhave about a thumbs width in front of your toes, however, otherwise you risk slamming into thefront of the shoe and damaging your toe nails (which is neither comfortable nor pretty).TrainingSimilar to a court shoe, cross trainers should fit slightly more snug than a runner in order toachieve a higher level of lateral support. One should still fit the shoe with a thumbs width infront, again, in order to avoid the ever painful black toe nail syndrome. Cross trainers, like allshoes, come in varying amounts of support so be sure to utilize our staff in determining thelevel of support and rigidity that is right for you!

“Our two distinct culturesmean the give and take hasto be mutual,” she writes.“We are learning all thetime.This time we sharedin the creation of two mo-saic murals to be presentedto the Burnaby Hospital ata ceremony involving Burn-aby city officials and theChinese consulate. Cross-cultural events such as thisstrengthen the bond be-tween our two cities and be-tween artists on either sideof the Pacific.”

Tiernan offered herthanks to a host of groupsand people who made the

exchange happen, includ-ing the cities of Burnabyand Guiyang, the BurnabyArtists Guild, Burnaby ArtsCouncil, Burnaby Art Gal-lery, Deer Lake Gallery andthe Dr. SunYat-Sen Classi-cal Chinese Garden.

Businesses includingOpus Framing and Art Sup-plies and Lions Gate Road

Publishing also lent assis-tance, as didTourismVan-couver, Guizhou CanadianFellowship Association andthe Consulate General ofChina inVancouver.

Tiernan also offeredthanks to Jimmy Shiluck,Qilun Liu (Maoyuan RealEstate Company), GretaHo, JackYang,Yusheng

Cheng,Chenglin Jiang,Ryan Gluckman and allthe volunteers who pitchedin to help.

Defendingchamps:BurnabyLakewing forwardSamPowell findsagapagainstUVic ina25-20 victoryover theVancouver Islandclub in theDivisioin 1men’s LibrarySquareCup rugby final atKlahanieParkonSaturday. PHOTOPJCARR IMAGES

Div. 1 Lakers win second titleBLRC men win a thrilling final over UVic with a last-minute try

First Cupin first tryfor EDCBeat Inter FC 3-1 in overtimeTom [email protected]

EDC FC Burnabywon its first-ever Provin-cial Cup, in just its thirdseason in the premierdivision.

EDC scored twice inextra time to wrestle awaya 3-1 victory over InterFC in the cup final at Wil-loughby Turf in Langleyon Sunday.

Habib Mohammed,who scored two goals,including the game-win-ning penalty kick at thethree-minute mark in theopening period of OT, wasnamed the game MVP.

“I’m thankful to theguys for the effort theyput in yesterday,” saidEDC head coach ClaudioRamirez, “we relied on thecounterattack and that justseemed to work.”

Mohammed, who was apickup from the Division1 FC Tigers, scored first inthe 24th minute.

Inter eventually tied thematch late in the secondhalf off a PK from JosephMarrello of Burnaby.

EDC iced the matchlate in the second OT ona counter by Eric Ray,who took the ball into the18-yard-box and found awide open Rizal Ganief forthe insurance marker.

Winning the B.C.Soccer men’s A cup is acrowning achievement forthe club, which is celebrat-ing its 10th anniversary,

said Ramirez.“They were focused,”

said Ramirez. “You couldjust see they knew theywere going to win thegame, but they expected itto be tough. But there wasa confidence in the air.”

EDC keeper HugoVasquez came up big on acouple of early occasionsto keep the match score-less.

Ylya Malek was involvedin a number of first-halfchances, including a nearheader by Mohammedthat went over the bar latein the first half.

Ganief had a greatchance to score to start offthe second half, eludingtwo Inter players beforehaving his shot on goalstopped by former Burn-aby Royals goalie AndrewFink. Malek also had ashot on goal stopped inthe 73rd minute.

Mohammed helped histeam’s cause in the 26thminute of extra time,clearing a Marrello cornerkick off the line to pre-serve a 2-1 lead.

With the win, EDCearned a spot at the clubnationals this fall.

After a poor start to theseason, EDC got a boost,picking up Michael North,Parker Ellis and ChristianZimmerman from SimonFraser University.

“They gave us a breathof fresh air which carriedus for the remainder of theseason and led us to this,”said Ramirez.

SFU claim six titles at Great Northwest meetTom [email protected]

The Simon Fraser Uni-versity men’s 400-metrerelay team played the role ofchampion and spoiler at theGreat Northwest conferencetrack and field champion-ships last week.The Clan relay team of

senior Stuart Ellenwood, ju-nior Cameron Proceviat andsophomores Joel Websterand Daniel Kelloway edgedpre-meet favourite Alaska

Anchorage in the champi-onship final, nipping therunner-up school by just .08seconds with a meet recordtime of 3:13.84 in the finalrace of the conference meetin Monmouth, Oregon onSaturday.SFU’s record run denied

Anchorage the overall teamaggregate and WesternWashington, which placedfourth in the race, picked upat least a tie atop the men’sstandings. WWU edgedAnchorage by two points to

win the team championshipin what turned out to bethe closest overall finish inconference history.Kelloway also won an

individual title in the men’s400m, taking first place by amere 13/100ths of a second,beating out runners-upAdam Commandeur of UAAand Webster, the top-rankedsprinter, by just fractions ofa second. Kelloway clocked47.62 seconds in the metricquarter-mile, while Websterwas third at 48.41. Proceviat

finished in second place inthe men’s 800m.Lindsey Butterworth, the

NCAA Division II nationalleader in the 800m, repeatedas women’s champion for asecond straight season in awinning time of 2:06.67. Shealso helped the Clan relayteam of Alana Mossatto,Monique Lisek and Chan-tel Desch to victory in the4x400m race in a time of3:45.64.In the individual women’s

Linc Bowman scoreda last-minute try to giveBurnaby Lake Rugby Cluba second straight Division 1championship.Bowman’s short, 10-metre

run into the end zone gavethe defending and three-time Div. 1 champions a25-20 victory over the Uni-versity of Victoria and putan end to a thrilling finalmatch after a try-less firsthalf of action at KlahaniePark in West Vancouver onSaturday.“It hasn’t been this way

this year,” said Bowmanafter the game. “We’ve beenlucky really and dominatedmost teams (this season).But the past two weeks,two young teams (UVic

and University of BritishColumbia) really wanted itand really stretched us.”Burnaby Lake took the

lead on a well-taken penaltygoal by Geoff Ryan, whogarnered all of the club’sfirst-half points off kicks, in-cluding a pair of timely dropgoals, before UVic booted apenalty of its own to makethe score 12-3 on the finalplay of the half.Bowman booted an easy

penalty from 25 metres outto start the second half forBurnaby, but then things gotinteresting.UVic closed the gap to

15-10 when lock forwardLiam Chisholm bowled hisway over the line from fivemetres out with the game’sfirst converted try.The Lakers responded,

pinning the students in

their own end and workingthe ball well in the for-wards off driving mauls andsecond-phase play beforefinally bulling one in todouble the score at 20-10.But in an unsuspected

response, UVic found anuncharacteristic gap in theBurnaby Lake backfield andraced 60 metres downfieldfor a lightning-quick try bySam Jones in the corner.UVic’s Gavin Rowell

made a difficult kick fromthe sidelines for the extrasand then minutes later tiedthe contest at 20-20, withscant time remaining, ona penalty from inside theBurnaby Lake 20-m line.However, Burnaby Lake,

which had earlier won theLibrary Square regularseason championship witha record of 13-1-0 was not

about to see that hard workall season go for naught,said Bowman.“In the back of my head, I

saw they were coming backon us and I didn’t want tolose that game,” he said.So, when Bowman saw

the gap on the short sideof the field, he went for it,stepping out of the grasp ofone UVic tackle and thenlaunching his body into theend zone for the game-win-ning score.“It was just an awesome

game,” Bowman added.The victory was the

second Div. 1 title in a rowfor Burnaby Lake and thirdsince 2011.BLRC lost an opportunity

for a second title followinga 34-12 to Velox in thepremier women’s final atKlahanie on Saturday.

Burnaby Lake was de-nied an eighth Gordon Har-ris trophy following a 34-12loss to theVeloxValkyries inthe premier women’s rugbyfinal at Klahanie Park onSaturday.

The two-time defendingwomen’s champs surren-dered five first-half tries tothe unbeaten regular seasonwinners, including four un-answered five-pointers latein the frame, to end the pe-riod trailing 29-5.

But despite the dou-ble-digit deficit, the Lakerwomen were far from fin-ished. National team vet-eran and scrum half JuliaSugawara took the blue and

white inside theVelox 20on three separate occasions,coming away with a con-verted penalty try early inthe second half and unluckyto not get more before hav-ing to leave the game withan injury.

But it was theValkyries’ability to run the ball out oftrouble that time and timeagain, gave theVancouverIsland visitors the breathingroom they needed to keepBurnaby off balance.

“There was a very narrowbrand of rugby we had toplay to win it,” said BurnabySports Hall of Fame coachWalt Brandl. “They havebig forwards and they’re areal good team, it’s a toughcombination to deal with.At the end of the first half

we let it get away from us.”Velox controlled play

from the opening whistle,playing expansive rugby andfinding gaps to exploit in theBurnaby Lake backline thatthe Lakers were never fullyable to close.

Despite that fact, Ci-ara Malone scored early forBurnaby Lake closing thedeficit to 7-5 before Court-ney Sims scored a try fol-lowing a turnover at mid-field against the run of play,sparking theVelox turn-around.

Still, Brandl, liked whathe saw from his side in thesecond half.

“We have a lot of youngplayers and they lookedcomfortable out there,”Brandl said.
