a smile. The couple’s plans reflect a growing trend in the local real estate market—a demand for larger units, especially from baby boomers downsizing from houses that sit on now-valuable property. The trend is so strong that Intergulf Development Group has applied for a new rezoning for its 38-storey condominium tower on Nelson Avenue, across from Bonsor Park, only months after receiving approval in principle from Burnaby council on an earlier proposal.

The Victoria Police Department has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the case of Angus Mitchell, Mitchell had his rifle returned to him by Victoria Police five weeks before he used it to kill two people and seriously injure a third in Burnaby. Victoria Police seized the rifle after Mitchell paid a visit to a doctor’s office with it. He was assessed under the Mental Health Act but had the firearm returned to him after he applied to get it back. The Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner concluded that the Victoria officers’ actions were “reasonable in the circumstances,” said Victoria Chief Constable Frank Elsner in a statement. Elsner said the conclusion supported the principle that “the tragic outcome of any event cannot be used to define the conduct of police officers from the perspective of hindsight.” Please see POLICE, A3

Teen wins accolades for low-cost HIV test To represent Canada at international competition June 22-25 Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The fact a Burnaby resident has developed a rapid test for HIV is impressive enough. That the test is low cost and has the potential to assist people in developing countries, even more so. But perhaps most impressive is the inventor herself. She’s only 15 years old. Nicole Ticea lives in the Lakeview neighbourhood of East Burnaby and is in Grade 10 at York House School in Vancouver. Her HIV test recently took top prize at the Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada, a national science fair, qualifying her to compete for Canada at the International BioGENEius Challenge in San Diego
June 22 to 25. Current HIV tests require complex heating and cooling equipment that can cost $100,000 apiece, Ticea said. Her test, on the other hand, uses a chemical reaction to detect the virus. Ticea said the project was a “melding of two ideas.” One came from an article she read about the significant benefits of starting drug therapy on HIV positive newborns right after birth. The other was a desire to create an HIV test that required few resources and could prove useful in developing countries where resources are scarce. After coming up with her concept, she contacted several local HIV researchers. Dr. Mark Brockman agreed to let her use his lab at Simon Fraser University. That’s where she developed the test under the supervision of Brockman and graduate student Gursev Anmole. The test is capable of

detecting the virus that causes AIDS in newborn babies up to 18 months of age and in adults within three months of HIV transmission. The earlier patients can receive anti-retroviral therapy, the better the chances of
She stressed that it will take much more work before the test can become commercially available, but she’s excited to get back to the lab to help take it to the next stages of development. Ticea likely comes by her scientific acumen naturally.

suppressing the infection and improving survival rates. Ticea doesn’t recall the actual “eureka” moment when she proved her test could work, but said, “It was a really long journey getting there.”
Her mother is a family physician and her father a software engineer. “I love science and I want to go into medical research as a career,” she said. Anmole, an SFU grad student in molecular biology, served as one of her supervisors and came away impressed, calling Ticea “very, very bright” and “very advanced.” The technology she used has been around for some time but Ticea’s test is the first time it’s been applied to HIV testing, he said, adding test results are available within minutes. For the idea to come from a high school student’s science fair project is “amazing,” said Anmole, 24. “When I was in high school the last science fair I remember was something along the lines of making volcanoes with baking soda and vinegar,” he said with a laugh.
A section of Beta Avenue next to Brentwood mall will soon see safety improvements after a cyclist was struck and killed by a vehicle there last month. The 62-year-old Burnaby man was killed May 6 at the intersection of Beta and Brentwood Drive. While plans were already in the works to make changes at the intersection in conjunction with the redevelopment of Brentwood mall, the incident “helped make it a higher priority,” said Doug Louie, Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering for transportation services.
A special pedestrian crosswalk will be installed at the north edge of the Beta Avenue driveway into the mall parking lot, Louie said. It will include curb bulges to narrow the street, pedestrian-activated amber lights, possibly on the sides of the road, and a reduction in the speed limit from the current 50 km/h. Existing overhead flashing amber lights that warn motorists to slow down for the traffic signal down the steep hill at Lougheed Highway will likely be moved to the south edge of the mall driveway, he said. The problems at that

location are complex, with a combination of pedestrians, motorists, a steep hill, a driveway and a housing development, Brentwood Gate, across the street, all within 50 metres of Lougheed. “It’s not a great place to put a marked crosswalk,” he said. “But if we’re going to put a marked crosswalk you have to make it special because of the unusual circumstances.” The cost of the work will be shared between Burnaby city hall and mall owner Shape Properties. It’s expected to be complete by the end of the summer.

Man dies after being tasered Independent investigation launched into RCMP actions The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is looking into the death of a man after he was tasered by Burnaby RCMP last Wednesday afternoon. Shortly before 3:30 p.m. police responded to a complaint
of a man who had entered an Edmonds area apartment building through a plate glass door. When they confronted him, the man became aggressive and wouldn’t comply with police commands, said a release from the IIO. That’s when he was tasered and a struggle ensued. As the suspect was being
taken into custody, he became unresponsive and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have yet to release the man’s identity. The IIO is a civilian body that conducts investigations of police incidents that result in death or serious injury to determine whether the officer committed an offence. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com
iPad robber breached probation A man convicted in connection with the high-profile 2012 robbery of a disabled woman was arrested Monday for breaching his probation, say Metro Vancouver Transit Police. Transit Police were conducting fare-enforcement at Commercial SkyTrain station in Vancouver when they found John Eugene Lagimodiere, 33, was in breach of a probation condition to not be on any
SkyTrain vehicle or property. Lagimodiere was one of two men arrested for the May 2012 robbery of a woman with cerebral palsy of her iPad, which she relied on to communicate. The robbery happened as the woman tried to board an elevator at Metrotown SkyTrain station in Burnaby. While originally charged with robbery, Lagimodiere was
eventually convicted of the lesser offence of assault and sentenced to one day in jail and two years probation. He was arrested and charged with breach of probation and released on an undertaking by a judge with the same condition—to avoid SkyTrain property. His next court date is set for June 10 in Vancouver. twitter.com/@burnabynews

Local RCMP flags at half-mast for Moncton victims Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The flags at the Burnaby RCMP detachment were flying at half mast Thursday as officers reeled at the news that three RCMP officers were shot and killed a day earlier in Moncton, NB. The suspected gunman, identified by RCMP as 24-year-old Justin Bourque, is alleged to have also wounded two other officers. He was arrested by police Thursday night after a lengthy manhunt. On Thursday morning at about 7 a.m. a short memorial and flag-lowering was held in front of the Burnaby detachment with about 55 officers and civilian staff in attendance, said Staff Sgt. Major John Buis. “Our hearts and our prayers go out to the families and friends on this terrible day,” said Buis in an interview. When he first heard the news he felt “like somebody had punched me in the stomach, a really numb feeling.” On Friday morning, New Brunswick RCMP identified the officers killed as Const. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, 45, Const. David Joseph Ross, 32, and Const. Douglas James Larche, 40. “There’s lots of familial connections with all sorts of people,” he said of the RCMP. “It’s a very big family with lots of brothers and sisters.” Buis said it was difficult news to hear. “It’s really tough. I remember with Mayerthorpe, it was awful,” he said, referring to the 2005 incident in Alberta when four RCMP officers were killed in an ambush. “For days, wandering around wondering what’s going on. We didn’t know what had happened and they were still looking for people that may or may not have been involved.” And there have been other police tragedies. Buis cites the 1961 deaths of three officers at the hands of a gunman in Kamloops, and the 1958 deaths of five officers in a boating accident on Lake Simcoe. “Your mind goes back to those kinds of things. I lost two troop mates … So all those memories start coming back of good friends that you’ve lost.” All police officers know the risks of their jobs. “We know that. We know there’s danger in our jobs but we’re there to protect all Canadians,” Buis said. “It’s a terrible time when you have just one [officer killed], but with three it becomes even more difficult. And it really hit home to me,” he said, noting, “My son’s in the RCMP.” People wanting to offer their condolences on the loss of the Moncton officers can send them to: Condolences_Condoleances@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. twitter.com/WandaChow

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Safety first
LAST WEEK:
New federal legislation on prostitution seeks to penalize, with jail time and fines, those who buy sex and profit from the sale of it. But not those who sell it. Nor should they be. The Conservative government’s bill comes in response to the striking down of the existing law on prostitution late last year by the Supreme Court of Canada. In a 9-0 decision, the court decided that laws prohibiting brothels, living on the avails of prostitution and communicating in public with clients were overbroad. It ruled that Parliament has the power to regulate against nuisances, but not at the cost of the health, safety and lives of prostitutes. It noted that selling sex is not a crime in Canada. Nor is it under the new legislation, in all instances. Those to be targeted by police under the new law include pimps and others who exploit sex workers, even those who advertise the sale of sex in print or online. The bill would criminalize the act of selling sex in public places or where children could be expected to be present. Fines might range from $1,000 to $4,000 and jail time could be up to five years in jail for an offender who pays for sex. But, as SFU criminology professor John Lowman says, such laws will only again drive the sex trade into out-of-sight places, where women will be more vulnerable to predators like serial killer Robert Pickton. They do nothing to make the work safer, such as creating safe houses or brothels, with bodyguards, or issuing condoms. It makes no sense to say someone has the right to sell a service or product, but that someone else doesn’t have the right to buy it. What the government should do is follow what the court ruled, and that is to protect those involved in the sex trade. It can through decriminalization and regulation. – Maple Ridge News

Gas: the other pipeline showdown VICTORIA – The prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural gas pipelines and export terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even Clark expected. Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. Blunt and other southern protesters documented their trip north
7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com
to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a onelane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, www. genuinewitty.com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick

banners and posturing protesters. Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Hats Off turns 30 Hats Off Day started 30 years ago as a way for merchants in Burnaby Heights to say thanks to their loyal customers by taking their hats off to them. It has since grown to become one of the city’s most beloved community festivals that includes a parade, a show & shine and an all-day party on Hastings Street. The theme of this year’s event was the “totally awesome ’80s,” taking it back to its formative days. Activities also included a chance to dunk firefighters for charity, plenty of food prepared by local restaurants and delis, as well as an array of fun for kids. The celebration kicked off with the second annual Family Fun Run, a 2.5 block dash to raise money for the Burnaby Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society.

Q: I’ve noticed that you have renovated all of your sand traps at both Riverway and Burnaby Mountain Golf Courses. I always seem to struggle hitting out of bunkers. What is the difference between a fairway bunker shot and a green side bunker shot? Answer: There is a huge difference between a fairway bunker shot and a green side bunker shot. Watch this video. Fairway Bunker Shot: When hitting out of a fairway bunker, remember to keep your lower body quiet, don’t move your feet, grip down on the club, and make sure that the ball is moved back in your stance. When striking the ball you want to hit the ball first and then the sand. Try to remember to do your best to pick it clean out of the sand! Greenside Bunker Shot: When hitting out of a green side bunker remember to open your club face & stance. Adjust your ball position so that the ball is forward or off of your lead foot. Remember to adjust your posture so that you are sitting down on the ball versus standing tall. If you stand too tall you will thin your green side bunker shot. When striking the ball remember to hit the sand first and try to make a splash. We hope to see you working on your game at our practice areas and Driving Ranges soon. Thanks for swinging by!

Dear Valued Customers, It is with great pride that I congratulate Sears Metropolis at Metrotown and all of our associates as they celebrate the store’s 60th anniversary. Sears built this stand-alone store from scratch in May 1954 – our first large-format department store in the country. When it opened, the Burnaby store had over 125,000 sq. ft. of selling space spread over three floors. Excitement about the store was so great that more than 25,000 customers visited on opening day. To this day, the Burnaby store remains in its original location, although our neighbourhood has grown. In 1986, Metrotown was built adjacent to the Sears store. Sears Metrotown has been remodeled numerous times and may undergo another makeover in the next few years as part of our proposed development in Burnaby. For the past 60 years, Sears has provided a wide selection of high-quality apparel, home furnishings, major appliances, mattresses, home electronics, furniture, outdoor power equipment and more at great prices. As a long-standing and trusted member of the Burnaby community, Sears recognizes the special bond we have with the people of this city.
We appreciate that many of our customers have been coming to us faithfully for decades. We will continue to work hard to earn and keep our customers’ trust and stand behind our products, services and promises. We build our business in communities like Burnaby every day, and it is critical to Sears that we continue to do so in the years to come. We recognize that you have a lot of choices of where to shop and want to thank you for your continued business. Sincerely,
Doug Campbell President and Chief Executive Officer Sears Canada Inc.

Demand from ‘Boomer bulge’ ⫸
continued from FRONT PAGE
Nothing in the new proposal is different except for an expansion of the amenity space and more significantly, the mix of unit sizes. The new plan, which goes to public hearing June 24, will reduce the total number of units from 304 to 293. It eliminates onebedroom units altogether, and cuts the number of one-bedroom-plus-dens by more than half. That floor space has been redistributed to increase the numbers of two-bedrooms, WANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADER Houtan Rafii, vice-president of residential development for Beedie Living, checks two-bedrooms-plus-dens, out the model for the new Station Square development. and studios-plus-den. “While we find there is of Rennie Marketing, said people buying to live in the strong investor demand, it tends the demand is from the “baby condo. to be investors that will actually Boomer bulge who are now It’s either downsizers or look to live in these units and starting to sell their homes.” younger people used to living hope that they’ll appreciate When they sell their houses, in strata homes who want to in value over time.

Aging in place also trend ⫸
continued from PAGE A9
Another trend is boomers leaving their houses but who want to “age in place” and stay in the same areas where they’ve been living for many years, said McTavish. You can expect 30 to 40 per cent of buyers in a project will come from the area within three to five postal codes. The developers of the Station Square project, Anthem Properties and Beedie Development Group, focused on livable floor plans, said Houtan Rafii, vice-president of residential development for Beedie Living. The project’s second and third towers will have more well-sized, one-bedroom units and fewer studios than in its first phase. Rafii noted that people are getting used to the idea of living in condos, near transit and services, for the same price of a house located out in the suburbs a longer commute away, he said. “It’s a tradeoff sometimes.” Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing for Anthem Properties, said Station Square is seeing a demand for “strong-sized two-bedrooms of about 1,000 square feet.” The project’s floor plans aim

for good use of space—for example, two bedrooms that are spacious rather than chopping up the space by including a den into the same square footage, Zayadi said. “People are willing to pay $600,000, $650,000 for those units as you get to the top of the tower, and they sell really well at $550,000.” Over at Appia Developments’ SOLO District project in the Brentwood area, sales consultant George Hui is also seeing an influx of seniors downsizing from houses but wanting extra room to accommodate guests and fit all their stuff. He estimated 40 per cent of units in SOLO’s second tower, Altus, are two-bedroom-plusden or larger, up from the first tower, Stratus, which had 30 per cent of such units. He noted that it’s not all seniors. Some middle-aged clients are buying as an investment now but with plans
to live in it when they retire. Studios still have a market among young, first-time buyers but people buying solely as investors are not as common at SOLO, Hui said. Such buyers tend to want a cheaper, less high-end product to ensure a better return on their investment. Hui said they’re also seeing a trend of families buying several units in the development so adult children can be nearby to help out their aging parents. “They want to maintain their privacy but at the same time they don’t want to stay too far away from their parents.” That’s just the case of Kevin Cheng and Jenny Yeh, whose older son will be in the same development at Station Square while their younger son Fuhao lives in a condo nearby. Cheng, a businessman, and Yeh are looking forward to living within walking distance of all the services of Metropolis at Metrotown, Station Square and Crystal Mall. They won’t have to worry about driving when it snows, Cheng said. “I expect I don’t need to be mowing the grass anymore.”

Better urban trails in works A new urban trail could soon make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to use the Gilmore overpass over Highway 1. The city may spend up to $250,000 to design a new 640 metre section on the bridge, part of the 3.3 km Gilmore urban trail that links Willingdon Heights Park to Sanderson Way at Electronic Arts. The trail is also part of the Sea to River bikeway, an 11km route from the Trans-Canada trail in North Burnaby to Fraser Foreshore in South Burnaby. The section that traverses the overpass hasn’t been upgraded since the highway was built in 1964, said a report to council. The total project is expected to cost $2.5 million to construct, half of which would be funded by TransLink under their bicycle infrastructure capital cost sharing program. Additional funding could also come from the province.

Much conflicting information about vitamins
M
ost people end up taking vitamins or dietary supplements at some point in their lives.
The interesting thing is that this is usually because of some friend’s personal story of “amazing results,” or based on a sound bite they heard in a recent media report. They will take it for a while, and eventually it just stays in the cupboard because they aren’t sure whether it was doing anything. A year later, the bottle is emptied and chucked in the recycle bin because its past the expiration date. The truth is even the most well-read health professionals get confusing and often conflicting information when it comes to the research around vitamins and supplements. Let’s look at just two commonly used supplements as examples,
Dr. Gohar Sheikh calcium and omega-3 fatty acid. In February 2013, a large Swedish study reported that women who took calcium supplements had a higher mortality rate than women who did not take calcium, and that they doubled their chances for heart attack. Wow! That’s scary. Well, three months later a Canadian study found that calcium supplements up to 1000 mg a day lowered mortality rates. Confused yet? Now the omega-3s… In April 2013 a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine reported seniors with the highest blood levels of omega-3s had the lowest death rates. Yet
in July 2013, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that men with the highest blood omega-3 levels had the highest rates of aggressive prostate cancer. Give up? I imagine you, the average consumer, trying to wade through the sea of nutritional information to try to decide whether you should take calcium or omega-3 fatty acid. And I think it’s a hit-and-miss situation at best whether you actually benefit from any of the supplements you have in your kitchen. So here’s what I tell my patients: that there is a place for vitamins and supplements, and it should be based on a health professional’s sound clinical judgement. There is much empirical research about deficiencies in our soil, air and water (and thus our food) of
If you follow reports on the media about the effectiveness or concerns about vitamin supplements, you’ll know that much of the information appears contradictory.
the nutrient content that existed there as little as 100 years ago. There is also universal evidence showing short and longterm benefit to certain reactions and processes in the body when certain nutrients are available at high concentration. That means better healing or better management of certain diseases or disorders, and perhaps less drug dependency, with use of certain supplements. A clinician’s judgement will also take into account many factors that are not considered in news headlines or media sound bites, which are really designed to attract shortterm attention only. Factors and details such as how a study was structured or conducted, or who are the people, groups or companies behind the funding of the study. Please see next paGe

My hearing aid has been a great addition to my life. I had no idea how much I was missing out until I tried a good hearing aid for my particular needs. I had learned to live with a disability when there was no need to. The hearing aid resolved all the issues associated with my hearing condition. I had given up on hearing aids, until I ran into Susan at Mainland Hearing. She explained why my previous hearing aid didn’t work for me and why I should try a new one. She dedicated a lot of time to finding the right hearing aid but I ended up with the one that I was absolutely comfortable with (and all free to try until I had the right one).

Strategies in caring for someone with dementia
H
ow do you talk to someone with dementia?
People with dementia lose certain communication abilities at each stage of the disease. As the illness progresses, they experience a gradual deterioration of their ability to express themselves clearly and understand what others say. But some form of communication remains possible at every stage of the disease. People with dementia are sensitive to the tone, rhythm, and volume of our communication. Using a friendly, calm, relaxed tone will put the individual at ease even if they do not understand what you are saying. Body language, though, is the most important form of communication. People with dementia take in the majority of the message through non-verbal communication. Your words may be saying one thing but your body language could be saying something else entirely. Here are a few tips: • Ensure the person with dementia realizes you are there. Make eye contact before saying anything • Smile. • Do not stand directly over above the person with dementia. Bend down to their level so they don’t have to look up at you. • Use hand gestures and other visual cues to communicate. • Provide touch and contact (as appropriate). • Be aware of personal space. They may not be comfortable with you in their “whisper zone.” • Avoid body language that conveys frustration, anger and impatience such as sighing, shaking fists, rolling eyes. GIVE THEM TIME & Talk clEarly
People with dementia have difficulty in remembering and interpreting information; as the
wendy scott disease progresses, the ability to manage complex information declines. To make communication successful, the message that you send needs to be short and simple. • Use simple, short sentences • Give one direction/piece of information at a time • Give enough time for the person to process information • Speak slowly and clearly MInIMIzE dIsTracTIons
Often, the person with dementia is over-stimulated in an environment that has “too much going on.” Ensure you have a quiet space to talk. look bEyond wHaT THEy say
The person’s emoting and feeling will remain even with changes in the brain and cognitive defects. What a person says, does and how they behave is a way to communicate and there is meaning behind these things. For example, agitation may be a way of communicating pain or hunger. accEpT THEIr rEalITy
The person with dementia understands and believes their reality, they will not accept ours, so we need to enter the person with dementia’s world and validate their emotions/thoughts/feelings in whatever time or place that is real to that person. Connect not correct. rEdIrEcTInG
A person with dementia may be focused on a skill or task that is no longer safe for them to perform. Your job is to keep the person safe and redirect their attention. This
Your Comfort Shoe Store
is a useful thing to learn. The following will help guide you. Step one: Connect and validate the person’s reality or what they are feeling or thinking. You are trying to understand the emotion and message behind what the person is saying. Step two: Join the person where they are and listen to their points of view Step three: Engage and
distract the person by pointing their attention to something else Step four: Redirect them by engaging in enjoyable activity Example: Step one: “You think that someone has taken your keys. I can understand why you are angry” Step two: “You need to look really hard for those keys? Well, I lost my book as well. Let’s look together”
Step three: “Let’s look for your keys by the piano” Step four: “I love it when you play Amazing Grace, could you play it for me?” Wendy J.

How to make Father’s Day more enjoyable for Dad Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a special day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Father’s Day activities should be centered around Dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor Dad or another special man in your life. SpoRTS SunDAY
If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favourite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark.
A bike ride somewhere special might be just Dad’s speed for Father’s Day this year.
BEAcH BounD A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favourite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet.
ADvEnTuRE SEEkER If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping. REST & RElAxATion
Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending. impRompTu pARTY

KINGSWAY & WILLINGDON, BURNABY
Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party in his honor, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function. Plan a Father’s Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favourite activities and opt for entertainment that he will enjoy.

Lakers lose to Thunder, edge past Adanacs The Burnaby Lakers followed up a disappointing performance at home Friday with a victory on the road Saturday. The Langley Thunder downed the Lakers 12-8 in a Western Lacrosse Association clash at Bill Copeland Arena Friday. But Burnaby bounced back by beating the hometown Coquitlam Adanacs 6-5 Saturday. The Thunder won despite being outshot 49-42 by the Lakers. Brodie MacDonald made 41 saves for Langley while Tyler Richards stopped 30 for Burnaby. Ilija Gajic scored three goals and assisted on another for Burnaby. Dane Stevens had two goals and an assist. Other Laker goals were scored by Shaun Dhaliwal, Casey Jackson and Scott Jones. On Saturday, Dan Lewis stopped 49 of 54 Coquitlam shots to backstop Burnaby to victory. The Lakers held a 6-2 lead 12 minutes into the second period and then held on for the win taking only four shots in the third period to 17 by the Adanacs. Dhaliwal scored three goals, Stevens had two and assisted on another while Tyler Digby scored once and had three assists. The split gives Burnaby a 3-1-0 record which

puts them in a second-place tie in points with Maple Ridge and Langley, although both of those teams are 3-3. The first-place Victoria Shamrocks (4-0-1) come to Copeland on Friday to play the Lakers.
Junior squad ends losing streak The Burnaby Jr. Lakers ended an eight-game winless streak by downing the Langley Thunder 8-6 at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday. The first period was the difference with the Lakers scoring four goals while blanking the Thunder. Corey Wong and Tyler Vogrig scored two goals each with singles going to Justin Appels, Matt Shields, Evan Hunt and Ryan Vogrig, who also had three assists. The Lakers are 3-9-1 which puts them in a tie for sixth place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League, although Burnaby has played two fewer games. They will play back-to-back games against the Victoria Shamrocks (6-5-1) this weekend. They’ll ride the ferry Saturday to play and then play host to the ’Rocks at Copeland on Sunday, 5 p.m. sports@burnabynewsleader.com
