The old Safeway distribution centre in Burnaby is proposed for redevelopment into Southgate, a mix of low, mid and highrise residential buildings around a five-acre park.
Southgate plan envisions up to 20 towers Public open house planned for 48-acre site of former Safeway distribution centre Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Upwards of 20 towers are being proposed in the concept plan for the new Southgate neighbourhood in South Burnaby. The towers would range in height from 19 to 46 storeys, according to an illustration in the city planning report on the concept plan. The 48-acre site is located on
the former Safeway distribution centre and dairy plant property between 15th and 18th streets and 11th and 14th avenues. It closed as a distribution centre for Canada Safeway when the operation was moved to Langley in 2011. The site was purchased by developer Ledingham McAllister in December 2011. A preliminary concept and vision by James KM Cheng Architecture Inc. was presented at a public open house last year. The new concept plan, by architects IBI Group and PWL Partnership, incorporates

the input received back then. It is expected to be brought to another open house sometime in June. The concept proposes the site be transformed into five complete neighbourhoods dubbed the Gateway, Ernie Winch Park, Crescent, Courtyard and Island neighbourhood areas. At the heart will be a five-acre park with a 20,000-square-foot community building, all connected by an integrated system of parks and open spaces. About 40 per cent of the site will be public open space, the report said.
The concept plan proposes a total of 5.88 million square feet of market residential gross floor area and 588,365 square feet of affordable/non-market housing gross floor area. There would also be up to 200,000 square feet of commercial space along 16th Street and Southgate Crescent to serve the neighbourhoods. Lower density buildings are proposed along the edges of the neighbourhoods, with higher densities more central. Please see PROJECT, A3

The City of Burnaby is trying to find the source of “malicious rumours” circulating at city hall. And it’s going through the courts to enlist a multi-national corporation to help them do it. The city filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this month calling on Microsoft Canada to disclose any information that could identify the person behind an email address. According to the petition, the city learned Nov. 28, 2013 that an anonymous email was sent from the address to the husband of a city employee. The author claimed to also be employed by city hall. The content of the email was determined to be false, the petition said. But it caused “significant concern” because the author’s knowledge of the workplace suggests they are either an employee of the city or closely associated with someone who is. It also “offends the City’s bullying and harassment policies as it contains malicious rumours” about the employee whose husband was contacted. Please see CITY, A3

Project would create ‘third node’ in Edmonds ⫸
from frOnt page
As a point of comparison, the master plan for redevelopment of the 28-acre Brentwood mall site calls for up to 11 residential towers—with the tallest up to a maximum height of 70 storeys—and two office buildings. The Gateway neighbourhood is proposed for the northwest part of the site to serve, as its name would suggest, as its formal gateway. It would be mainly residential with mid- to low-rise structures but possibly also “the strategic siting of iconic residential towers, which punctuate entry” into the neighbourhood. The Ernie Winch area in the northeast part of the site would have retail on the western edge along the 16th Street commercial corridor. Like Gateway, it would be characterized by a meandering stream running parallel to the planned road connection of 13th Avenue across the site. Most buildings would be mid- to low-rise. The Crescent would be characterized by the promenade along the
The plan would create a ‘third node’ of density in the Edmonds Town Centre, shown in grey. The other two areas, the pink circles are at the Kingsway/Edmonds intersection (top) and at City in the Park, near Edmonds SkyTrain station.
central park where people can gather and socialize. Amenities would include cafés, restaurants and other services. Buildings would be midto high-rise structures, with “sophisticated and elegant residential towers.”
The Courtyard neighbourhood along the southeast part of the site would be characterized by mid-to low-residential buildings. The Island neighbourhood in the southwest portion would
have an “iconic residential tower located on an island feature, surrounded by water and a naturalized public realm environment.” It would transition down to mid- to low-rise structures along 11th Avenue and 18th Street.
Following the open house, public comments will again be used to guide development of the planning process which will ultimately result in a master plan, which would require a rezoning and public hearing. If that’s
approved, a rezoning and public hearing would also be required for each phase of development. Full development of the community is expected to take 15 to 20 years. twitter.com/WandaChow
City has ‘obligation to investigate’ harrassment ⫸
from frOnt page
“The spreading of malicious rumours about other employees is in direct contravention of the City’s Respectful Workplace Policy,” it said. The city has an obligation to investigate any instances of harassment and bullying. Already, city hall’s extensive investigation has included interviews with employees, a
search of its computer and information technology systems, and hiring an expert to figure out the source of the email and the people behind it. What the city knows so far is that the email address was issued by Microsoft Canada and that it is associated with a secondary email address. That’s why it needs Microsoft’s cooperation, the petition said.

“There is no other practical way for the City to identify the person(s) responsible for the breach of the Policy.” Pat Tennant, Burnaby’s director
of human resources, declined to divulge the nature of the rumours, calling it a “private, confidential staff matter that I really can’t discuss.” She did say, “These situations certainly don’t occur very often at all.” As for turning to the courts to petition a multi-billion-dollar corporation like Microsoft, Tennant said the city needs to

enforce its policies. “We do take our responsibilities seriously and our respectful workplace policy is important to us … Employers have policies in order to ensure fair process when something arises so we do take that seriously and we have to follow through.” As of Thursday, Microsoft had yet to file a response to the petition request.

OPINION
PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Use their heads
LAST WEEK:
The provincial government is playing hardball with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. While teachers might have some of their pay cut, it will be students who will be missing out. On Monday the teachers’ union began a series of rotating strikes across the province. That followed the rejection of an offer from the province to give teachers a 6.5 per cent increase over six years, plus a $1,200 signing bonus to all 41,000 of them. The province also threatened to cut teacher salaries by five per cent if they didn’t sign it by the end of the school year. Teachers have asked for a 21.5 per cent total increase over four years. On Thursday, the Liberal government announced a partial lockout – a stop-work order, taking effect 45 minutes before and after school hours and during lunch and recess breaks, as well as a 10 per cent cut in teacher salaries. They won’t get paid for not working. The year-end lockout may disrupt issuing of report cards and marking of provincial exams for graduating students. Graduation ceremonies could also be cancelled. Some parents and students will be upset by all this, but it should never have gone so far. The Liberals and BCTF have been in a spat over class sizes and composition since the NDP’s epic collapse in the 2001 provincial election. Rather than putting parents and students in the middle again why not bring in a mediator to help resolve what the two sides have been unable to do for 13 years. Both sides need to use their brains and agree to commonsense, affordable solutions and get back to educating the current generation. Spare us the drama. – Maple Ridge News

Taking stock of this MMBC mess On May 19, 2014, the province’s ill-advised Recycling Regulation for printed paper and packaging material took effect. Up until then, we had the opportunity to talk hypothetically about the significant number of serious issues with this program. And we hoped that government would behave responsibly by delaying and rethinking the program to avoid the inevitable mess. But May 19 came and went. There was no delay, and one of the largest, most coercive and heavily flawed government programs in B.C. history took effect. Two days later, the first fundamental truth about the MMBC program was confirmed to me. Two little pieces of paper arrived in my office, two supplier invoices showing a half a percent upcharge to cover MMBC’s fees. Fair enough, payment approved, retail prices adjusted accordingly.
Kelvin McCulloch With that simple bit of standard management accounting, the cost of recycling printed paper and packaging under the new regulation was passed on to the consumer. It had to be. We knew that was going to be the case and we told the government. Yes, “the train had already left the station” as we heard government say, but Extended Producer Responsibility was a false concept that wasn’t really on the train for most of the cost. There is no such thing as magic money. The money comes from the consumer. Everyone knows that. As time goes on, the other myths set up around the MMBC program will give way to reality

and the hypothetical problems will be seen to be real. For my part, this exercise in grass roots democracy has opened my eyes. No one can ever take good government or accountable government for granted. Every once in a while it gets so bad you just have to get off the couch and do something about it. This was a hard realization, especially on May 19 when it became clear the program was still going ahead. On the other hand, there has been a revelation, a silver lining in the cloud. So many good people have come forward and spoken up, community-minded people who understand the importance of responsible and accountable government, good and honest business people who just want to do the right thing. This has been an inspiration. You are the protectors of our democracy. Bravo. Going forward, it would

seem that some of us have more work to do to cause the MMBC program to be re-engineered and put under proper public oversight. That is exactly what we are going to do. And we are going to focus on solutions while we stand up for the people who are being mistreated, who are afraid to speak up, who think they are losing their job or their business because of this ill-advised program. In the final analysis, I believe the B.C. government stood to gain the most by delaying the implementation of the MMBC program. Now, Victoria will have to be held accountable for every outcome that really occurs while we try to find a way out of the mess.

RE-START PIPELINE PROCESS Re: New details of Kinder Morgan pipeline route It’s hard to believe we are already past the point where people can request to be intervenors in the National Energy Board hearings regarding Kinder Morgan’s pipeline when the oil company itself continues to change its mind about where it will actually route the pipeline. How can people decide that they are personally affected until a final route has been chosen? The process used by the NEB and Ottawa to sneak the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion through the approval process is a blatant disregard for the rights of people living along the potential route, as well as First Nations who are supposed to be consulted on projects of this manner. This process has been tainted by Kinder Morgan’s unwillingness to explain itself and provide information to the citizens of Burnaby. And for that reason the entire process should be re-started to protect the rights of citizens on both sides of Burrard Inlet. Trevor Ritchie Burnaby
FAIR IS FAIR? The BC Liberals have no class at all when it comes to bullying tactics towards teachers. The Campbell/Clark dynasty has been withholding proper funding for health and education services in B.C. to spend on their own corporate buddies for years. So if wage rollbacks are their bargaining strategy, then perhaps we should have a referendum to see if MLA
salaries, perks, and generous pension benefits should be reduced 5 or 10 per cent in our slow B.C. economy. Benny Birovchak New Westminster
WHERE’S THE ACTION? When a Malaysian aircraft disappeared off the radar screens, we knew instantly that there were 239 human lives involved. Multiple countries made their air force and navy available at an enormous cost, even though we knew from past experience that this was hardly a rescue mission. Cost was never an issue and, for all we know, we may even have searched in the wrong areas altogether. When Boko Haram kidnapped and openly announced they were to sell off into slavery a whole school of teenaged girls, we did little but offer our prayers. Few news dispatches even mention the number of young women involved and just hint at “over 200.” There are very close to 300 missing! There is evidence, also, that Nigeria’s military was aware of Boko Haram’s plans but did nothing. It took three weeks before a handful of military specialists were made available by some countries to assist in finding the trail and following the thugs and those of the girls who might still be alive. At this point our Western spokesperson seems to be Michelle Obama! Does this reflect how we value African lives? Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

facing the rear lane, and three storeys of housing above. It’s the mezzanine that adds enough height to make it a five-storey building, said a city staff report. The other side would comprise one floor of retail on the ground floor, a new home for the legion hall on the second floor, and two storeys of offices above. Vehicle access is from the rear lane and all parking would be underground. A lighted pedestrian walkway linking Hastings with the southern lane would be built to provide easy access for residents between Pender Street and Heights businesses during business hours. As reported in the NewsLeader, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 148 has been experiencing financial difficulties for years. Branch president Dave Taylor blamed their troubles on the implementation of smoking bylaws and rising property taxes while members aged and their numbers dwindled. When they finally decided to contact developers, Epta was the only one which proposed providing a separate building for the legion branch, Taylor said in an interview last fall. That building, to be built at no cost to the branch, will include not only the branch’s new canteen and office but retail and office space it can rent out as a continuing source of income. At 2,051 square feet, the new legion hall would be much smaller than the one being demolished. Please see OTHER, A9

It would include 100 liquor seats (80 inside and 20 on an outdoor patio facing Hastings) compared to 425 in the old building. But the sale of the property will relieve the branch of its debt and give it a stronger grasp on its future finances. In exchange, Epta gets to build 26 units of condos plus commercial space on the other side of the property. The units will consist of nine one-bedroom units, 14 two-bedrooms and three three-bedrooms. Units will range in size from 654 to 1,378 square feet. It’s a model that has other struggling legion

branches contacting Epta about similar opportunities on their properties, Chris Tsakumis, Epta’s vicepresident of sales and marketing, told the NewsLeader last fall. “It’s a structure that
allows the legions to remain in place with their own income and economic model that will allow them to survive forever so they don’t have these concerns 20 years down the road or 50
years down the road again,” Tsakumis said. The rezoning application will go to public hearing on June 24 at 7 p.m. in Burnaby city hall council chambers. twitter.com/WandaChow

Pipeline a ‘Burnaby-wide’ issue: Stewart from PAGE A8
The proposed routes also travel through the northern parts of the new riding. And he’s still encountering people who aren’t aware this is happening in their community. Apart from the pipeline, he believes top issues for voters are transportation and jobs, particularly youth unemployment. On a personal note, Stewart said he does not live in the new
riding, but is willing to change that if it’s important to his constituents. He only purchased a condominium in the northern part of Burnaby-Douglas one-and-a-half years ago. But he has a real estate agent looking at possibly selling his home, the first he’s owned, to buy in Burnaby South. On the other hand, he doesn’t want to lose money on such a move. Stewart bought
the place before the electoral boundaries commission eliminated his riding. “At this point, if it becomes an issue, we’ve talked to a real
estate agent,” he said. “These jobs [as MPs] are an honour so I think you just have to roll with the punches.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Fair a one-stop shop, fun and informative It’s that time again, as the fun and informative Healthy Aging Fair returns to Lougheed Town Centre on Saturday, May 31, offering a chance for seniors and their families to learn about services and options available in their community. Visitors will find a “one-stop shop” where they can get information on living well and staying healthy as we age. Many who come out to the fair find it valuable because, while there are a lot of services available in the community, they’re not always easily accessible. This year there will be 38 organizations showcasing their products and services for seniors, including transportation services, seniors’ housing providers, home accessibility solutions, and health support services. The fair is organized by the Burnaby Seniors’ Interagency Society, and has continued to grow in scope each year. This year’s fair will feature some great entertainment. There will also be prize draws, free give-aways and a chance to win a flatscreen TV. The fair is sponsored by the Mulberry PARC Retirement Residence, the NewsLeader, the City of Burnaby and Lougheed Town Centre. The fair runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is being held in the centre court and lower mall. For more information, visit www.burnabyseniors.

Glaucoma does not always exhibit symptoms As the human body ages, certain things might not work as well as they used to. Though no two individuals are the same, there are certain things people expect to deal with as they age. Changes in vision are one thing many people associate with aging. Some people maintain perfect vision throughout their lives, while others’ vision deteriorates and conditions begin to develop. Though not exclusive to the elderly, glaucoma is one such condition many seniors must deal with. But even though risk for glaucoma increases as a person ages, that doesn’t mean younger men and women should not familiarize themselves with this condition and learn its symptoms and characteristics. In fact, glaucoma can be present for years before it’s recognized. This only further highlights the importance of understanding this condition so, should it appear, it can be effectively treated as soon as possible.
What is glaucoma? Glaucoma is a term used to refer to a group of conditions that can cause damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve is responsible for carrying visual information from the eye to the brain, and oftentimes optic nerve damage is a result
of increased pressure in the eye. In the United States, glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness. In Canada, the Glaucoma Research Society of Canada reports that more than 400,000 Canadians have glaucoma today.
fluid typically flows out of the eye through channels in the front of the eye in an area called the anterior chamber angle. When the flow of the aqueous humor is blocked or slowed, the fluid gets trapped in the eye and then IOP builds, at which point damage to the optic nerve can occur.
What role does intra-ocular Are all cases pressure play? of glaucoma the same? The eyes are filled with fluids that help maintain pressure in the eye. That pressure is called intra-ocular pressure, or IOP. IOP is not a bad thing, but high IOP is a risk factor for glaucoma. Measuring IOP is fairly easy. Doctors will use a tonometer to measure IOP, but men and women should know that normal IOP does not necessarily mean a person does not have glaucoma, nor does high IOP mean a person does have glaucoma. While high IOP is a risk factor for glaucoma and controlling IOPis a focus of glaucoma therapy, there is more to diagnosing and treating glaucoma than just focusing on IOP.

What causes high IOP? 1 ddni.seniltuO_11x5.8_retsoP_riaF_gnigA_yhtlaeH_1291CTL
Not all cases of glaucoma are the same. In fact, there are four major types of glaucoma. • Open-angle, or chronic, glaucoma: Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. The cause is unknown, but an increase in eye pressure occurs slowly over time as the pressure starts to push on the optic nerve and the retina at the back of the eye. This type of glaucoma tends to run in families, so men and women who have a parent or grandparent who has had open-angle glaucoma should not miss appointments with his or her eye doctor, even if vision seems normal. This is especially important because most people with open-angle glaucoma have no symptoms until they begin to lose vision, though gradual loss of peripheral vision may occur. 2014-04-01 10:57 AM
LTC1921_Healthy_Aging_Fair_Poster_8.5x11_Outlines.indd 1
The eye produces a fluid called the aqueous humor which is used to bathe and nourish the various parts of the eye. This
• Angle-closure, or acute, glaucoma: Angle-closure glaucoma occurs when the aqueous humor is suddenly blocked. This is very noticeable, as it causes instant and severe pain as the IOPquickly increases. Risk for angle-closure glaucoma increases for those who have already had it one eye. Symptoms include decreased or cloudy vision, nausea and vomiting, seeing rainbow-like halos around lights, and reddening of the eye. • Congenital glaucoma: Congenital glaucoma is present at birth and results from an abnormal development of the fluid outflow channels in the eye. Symptoms are typically noticed when the child is a few months old. These can include cloudiness of the front of the eye, enlargement of one or both eyes, sensitivity to light, tearing, and reddening of the eye. • Secondary glaucoma: Secondary glaucoma results from other conditions, including uveitis, a condition where the middle layer of the eye, known as the uvea, swells and causes irritation. Secondary glaucoma can also result from systemic diseases and drugs such as corticosteroids.

ExErcisE and the older woman The aging process has a way of making people risk-averse. Financial advisors typically recommend that men and women steer clear of risky investments as they age, and men and women over 50 often make lifestyle choices to reduce their risk of developing certain medical conditions. As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease a woman’s bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in helping women over 50 secure their long-term health and reduce their risk of injury.

Some women feel that exercising after 50 increases their risk of injury, which can make them overly dependent on their loved ones. But exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a woman’s risk of suffering a potentially debilitating injury. Independence is especially important to seniors, many of whom spent years planning

Some women who are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better night’s rest. Numerous studies have shown that routine exercise can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day, something that should raise an eyebrow among women who do not exercise but routinely find themselves fighting fatigue. A more quality night’s rest improves vitality, making it easier for women to exercise and make it through the day without feeling fatigued. Exercise benefits those with limited mobility Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition.
Many aging women feel their time to embrace exercise has long since passed. But it’s never too late to start exercising. Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walking is a great beginner’s exercise, as it provides a good cardiovascular workout while working a variety of muscle groups. As your body readjusts to physical activity, gradually increase the intensity of your exercise sessions, adding some strength training, ideally under the supervision of a professional. Always stretch immediately after each exercise session, and give your body ample time to recover, especially when you begin your new regimen.

Woman claims trauma, injury from ‘ice bombs’ Jeff Nagel
Obrecht, who lost “quite a bit of blood” in the car, was taken to Surrey Memorial Hospital and treated for concussion and released home. The car was one of several written off due to damage from falling ice that day. But Milne-Medved believes Obrecht’s injuries are the worst. She said her client continues to suffer from a constellation of post-concussion symptoms 18 months later. Obrecht, a Surrey School District administrator, continues to receive ongoing medical treatment, according to her claim, and suffered lost income as a result of the injuries, which are alleged to include concussion, scalp lacerations, neck and shoulder injury, headaches, nightmares and post-traumatic stress. The TI Corp. has not yet filed a response. After the 2012 incident, engineers installed a system of brushes and scrapers that are winched up and down the cables to remove snow and ice build-up during the winter. ICBC paid out more than $400,000 in damages after receiving 350 claims for vehicle damage.
Black Press
A Delta woman who says she was hit in the head by falling ice bombs on the Port Mann Bridge in a notorious 2012 incident is suing the province’s Transportation Investment Corp. for negligence. Caryl-Lee Obrecht’s claim in B.C. Supreme Court says she was injured when large sheets of ice fell from the bridge’s cables and punched through the roof of the family car around noon on Dec. 19, 2012. The first ice chunk smashed the windshield of the eastbound Ford Focus soon after it started over the newly opened toll bridge, according to lawyer Veronica Milne-Medved, who said Obrecht’s husband, the driver, had to stick his head out the window to navigate the rest of the bridge. A second ice bomb caved in the car’s sunroof and a third punched right through it and hit Obrecht in the head, the lawyer said. “The whole roof was bowing in and she had to lay on her back in a reverse pike position and put her two feet up to

Medved said. “It was a nightmare, an absolute nightmare.”

F MILY F MILY & P& RENTING P RENTING Eight fun ways to be a fit family Obesity is a global epidemic affecting people of all ages. Statistics Canada notes about 25 percent of Canadians are obese. Being overweight or obese has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer, and children who are overweight are likely to be overweight or obese adults. While eating a diet that is low in fat and high in whole-grain fiber, vegetables and lean proteins is important, exercise remains one of the key factors in maintaining a healthy weight. But many adults and children simply do not get enough exercise during the day. Here are eight ways families can work together to incorporate more exercise into their daily lives. Tackle chores
Yes, tasks around the house can count as exercise. Working together not only gets you moving but also cuts down on the time it takes to tackle tasks around the house. Mowing the lawn, vacuuming the rugs, sweeping the
together. Young children can be strapped into trailers that are pulled behind the bike or ride in seats attached to the bike itself. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and hone their cycling skills.
floor—all of these activities can get the heart pumping. Make it fun by setting chores to music or competing against one another to see who gets their task done first or the best. compeTe in The pool
go hiking
Swimming is a low-impact activity that works many muscles in the body. Taking a dip in the pool can be both relaxing and beneficial to your health. Compete with family members to make the most of the time spent in the water. plan an acTive vacaTion
Summer is when many families go on vacation, so why not choose a vacation that involves more than napping poolside? Though it’s still good to leave some time for relaxation, find a locale where you can embrace activities like snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, or other adventures that get you and your youngsters off the poolside chaise and out exploring.
Hiking is another fun family activity that also happens to make for great exercise. Choose a trail that may not be level and push everyone’s endurance to the test. sTroll The beach Family bike rides are a great way to get outdoors, have fun and get exercise.
Teach kids To garden
Gardening might be seen as a peaceful and relaxing hobby, but it still requires a lot of elbow grease and hard work that pays physical dividends. A garden must be planted, hoed, weeded, and watered, and gardening gets kids out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. When growing a vegetable garden, kids might embrace the chance to be
directly involved in the foods that will eventually end up on their dinner tables. Parents can embrace this as an opportunity to teach the value of eating locallyproduced foods and the positive impact such behavior has on the environment. go for family bicycle rides
Traverse your neighborhood or blaze new trails by riding bikes
Walking or running on sand offers more resistance than walking on pavement. Take a stroll at the seaside. Break up the walk by collecting shells or stopping by the water to observe marine wildlife. hiT The dance floor
If you’ve been invited to a wedding or a Sweet 16 party, cut a rug and take advantage of the DJ and dance floor. When enjoying yourselves, you won’t realize how much you’re exercising.

F MILY & P RENTING Choosing the right RESP When saving for your child’s education, it’s worthwhile considering setting up a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), which helps you save and also gets you access to the Canada Education Savings Grant of up to $7,200. Who can open an ReSp?
Anyone—parents, grandparents, other family members and friends—can open an RESP for a child. RESPs can be opened by one person, or opened jointly by spouses or common-law partners. They can also be opened by child-care agencies. Individuals can also open an RESP for their own use. Selecting the Right ReSp
It is very important to choose the right type of RESP. Your financial institution can help you. You can open an RESP at a bank, a credit union, a mutual fund company, an investment dealer, or a group plan dealer.
thRee typeS of planS:
1. family plan A family plan is ideal if you have more than one child. You can name one or more children to receive the savings when it’s time to pay for their studies after high school. The advantage of a family plan is that earnings can be shared among the children, and the Canada Education Savings Grant may be used by any beneficiary named in the RESP, to a maximum of $7,200. 2. individual plan This type of plan is ideal if you are not related to the child you are saving for. In this type of plan, only one beneficiary is named in the RESP, and the beneficiary doesn’t have to be related to you. 3. group plan A group plan is for one child only, and the child does not have to be related to you. A group plan is ideal if you
can make regular payments throughout the term of the RESP. In this type of plan, your savings are combined with those of other people. How much each child gets depends on how much money is in the group account, and on the number of students of the same age who are in school that year. These plans are provided by group plan dealers, who usually invest the money in low-risk investments. Each group plan is different and has its own rules. As you would with any investment, be sure to read the plan rules carefully. opening an ReSp
Follow these two easy steps: 1. Get a Social Insurance Number (SIN) for your child. 2. Choose an RESP provider that suits your needs. Most financial institutions do RESPs. For more details about RESPs, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.
PLANNING A FAMILY OR ALREADY HAVE ONE? Having children is one of the most rewarding things you may ever do, but the financial burden can be stressful. The good news is that with some solid financial planning and realistic goals you can manage it all with comfort and ease. It is never too late or too early to start your financial plan. Visit one of CIBC’s convenient locations to meet with our experts who can help you with debt structuring, savings options including RESP’s, monthly budgeting & financial planning.

The Burnaby Jr. Lakers suffered their fourth straight loss Saturday. The hometown Nanaimo Timbermen downed Burnaby 11-7. The loss left the Lakers with a 2-6-0 record and put them in sixth place in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Aidan Milburn, the team’s top scorer, continues to be a bright light for the Lakers scoring three goals. That gives him 24 goals and 36 points in eight games this season putting him third in league scoring. Randy Jones scored twice while Tyler Vogrig

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Chapman is coming to BURNABY ON MON. JUNE 9 TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.
Senior squad starts season The Sr. Lakers will finally kick off their Western Lacrosse Association season by battling the New Westminster Salmonbellies at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday, 7:45 p.m. Their home opener will be Friday when they play host to the Nanaimo Timbermen at Copeland starting at 7 p.m. Our answ

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is not planning to legislate a settlement to the latest teacher strike, which is shutting down schools in each district for a day this week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday the government is looking for movement from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on its wage and benefit demands, but isn’t going to impose another contract extension on the union. The legislature is scheduled to adjourn for the summer on Thursday. “To rush to legislation is not where we’re going to go,” Fassbender said. “We want the BCTF to come to the table with a wage response that is reasonable and within the zone of other public sector unions. We expect them to come with something that is affordable for taxpayers.” After lockout provisions were announced last week to mirror union work hour restrictions that started in April, BCTF president Jim Iker said that would disrupt graduation ceremonies, and sports, drama and clubs would be cancelled. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association issued a letter to the BCTF Sunday saying Iker’s statements are incorrect, and there are no school district restrictions on

CONNELL
GERALD (Gerry) July 11, 1937 - May 14, 2014
It is with mixed emotions that the family of Gerald Connell announces his passing on May 14, 2014. He will be greatly missed, but his suffering has come to an end. Gerald Randall Connell was born July 11, 1937 in Rose Valley, Sask. The family moved many times eventually landing in New Westminster, BC. He spent many years as a Millwright at Scott Paper, where he made many good friends. In the most recent years, he lived in 100 Mile House. He passed peacefully in the home that he helped construct – one visited by many over the years. Gerald is survived by his children: Randy (Beth) Connell, Rhonda (Darrell) Slobodin, Dean Stevens, Tamara Connell, Jay Connell (Kristy), Joe Connell (Sheri). Grandchildren: Justin, Melissa, Kevin, Christopher, and Wyatt. Great Grandchildren: Locklan, Caleb and Mckenzie. Sisters: Shirley, Joy, Gay, Sandra, and Karen (Hardie). He also leaves to cherish his memory numerous nieces and nephews as well as many friends who were family to him. Gerald was predeceased by his parents, Harvey and Ida Connell, and sister Judith. He enjoyed life in many ways whether hunting, fishing, horse racing, poker, working on his farm or simply hanging out at home. He enjoyed the laughter and camaraderie of visitors in his home, always up to a game of crib, wist or poker. He enjoyed sharing the tales of the many experiences of his life. Other than his children, the three greatest loves of his life were his mother, who was his greatest cheerleader, his Aunty Merle who was the spitfire who helped keep him in line, and his ‘56 Ford Station Wagon which,he says, never let him down. He had a strong opinion on many a subject and was known to be a tad bit stubborn, but so loved by all. Wherever you should be Dad, we want you to know that we love you and your presence in our lives will live on in our hearts! A memorial service will held in 100 Mile House. Date and time to be determined. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 250-395-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of 100milefuneralservice@gmail.com

I’ve been at Shannon Oaks for 2 years, and I would recommend it to anyone.
I am the oldest out of 10 siblings; I stayed home to help my mother. I love caring for others. I was a volunteer at different hospitals for many years. What keeps me so youthful is a positive attitude and caring for others.
Call us for your personal tour and stay for a complimentary lunch. You’ll meet Joan and other Residents just like her who are living life well at Shannon Oaks—a vibrant seniors community.
