Mayor Derek Corrigan was the celebrity guest artist at L’Arche Greater Vancouver’s fifth annual Art of Being Together event at Nikkei Centre on April 3. The Mayor was guided in creating his masterpiece by local mural artist Todd Polich. Although Polich advised throughout the process, only the mayor’s paintbrush touched the canvas. The mayor painted an image of two people walking up a hill, one helping the other. He said afterwards that it symbolized the work of L’Arche, of people helping each other. Later in the program, city Coun. Paul McDonell auctioned off the mayor’s artwork for $2,000, the winning bid going to Peter Chung, who will display it at his Joe’s Table café.
SD41 to be on hook for seismic work? Four Burnaby projects possibly affected Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Seismic upgrades at four Burnaby schools could be affected by a new education ministry policy that looks at school districts to share in the cost of such capital projects. Until now, all capital projects at public schools have been funded by
the provincial government. The new policy is in response to an auditor-general’s report in 2010 that found there is too much excess cash being held by public sector agencies, including school districts, said Ben Green, education ministry spokesperson. A subsequent auditor-general’s follow-up report released last month reached the same conclusion. To deal with the issue, the
finance ministry launched its “cash management strategy” that requires districts to consider cost-sharing of capital and seismic projects. In addition to addressing the auditor-general’s concerns, the move will also save taxpayers money by reducing the government’s borrowing costs, he said. Those projects that are already under construction or where a project agreement has been signed
are not affected, Green said, unless they go over budget. “For districts that don’t have significant cash balances or surpluses, provincial funding for capital projects will remain unchanged.” For those that do have surpluses, they’ll be dealt with on a “projectby-project basis,” he said.

It’s a lunch date Niels Thomsen hates to miss. For two years, Thomsen, 88, has attended the weekly seniors’ lunch at Burnaby Neighbourhood House. It’s organized through a seniors outreach ambassador program aimed at helping vulnerable, isolated seniors build relationships in the community. “It makes the difference between sitting at home or getting out and talking to people,” said the retired carpenter. “I would miss it terribly if that was to discontinue.” The program is one of many assisting seniors that are losing United Way funding once their grants end. In the case of Burnaby Neighbourhood House (BNH), the program runs on $36,000 a year through a three-year grant that will not be renewed at the end of June, said BNH executive director, Antonia Beck. please see grAnt, A8

Lights come up for Sev Morin Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
The lights have come up on the life of former Burnaby restaurant and nightclub owner and social gadfly Sev Morin. Morin passed away March 28. He was 86 years old. Morin, along with his brother Rudy, was famously the owner of the old Gai Paree restaurant on Kingsway, which was originally started by his family in 1947. It was later known as Severin’s. The restaurant closed in 1994. Before stepping into the family business, Morin cut his teeth in the hospitality industry alongside Nat Bailey at White Spot. “The mentoring from Mr. Bailey was the key thing,” Morin told the NewsLeader in 2005. He also met his wife, Pauline, at the Gai Paree where she was a part-time banquet waitress. A customer had asked her the score of the Canucks-New Westminster Royals hockey game and Morin happened to be listening to it on the radio so she got the update from him. They married in 1950 and settled down on Olive Street, near Central Park. Morin was a close friend of broadcaster Jack Cullen and a member of his “Howe Street Social Club,” a collection of “virtually anybody who was in showbiz locally” in the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, said former

CKNW newscaster John Ashbridge. That allowed him to hobnob with some of the entertainment industry’s biggest names when they rolled through Vancouver, including Bob Hope. “It was different times,” said broadcaster Red Robinson. “There weren’t gatekeepers preventing you from getting to
know the stars. You’d become friends with them.” Morin was also close to the Fox family in South Burnaby and mentored young Michael J. as he embarked on his acting career. He was instrumental in getting his old friend to lend his name to the Michael J. Fox Theatre at Burnaby South secondary school when it was built in 1995.
In 2011, Morin was tapped by the owner of Lafflines comedy club in New Westminster, Barry Buckland, to help bring in names when he relaunched in the old Columbia Theatre. “He knows everybody,” said Lafflines’ talent and event manager James Lickers at the time. Morin was also supportive of
young athletes like boxer Dale Walters and local sports teams held banquets and reunions at his restaurant. The walls were plastered with photos of teams he sponsored. In the 1980s Morin’s club became a hangout for visiting NHL players after games at the Pacific Coliseum in East Vancouver. He also served as chair of Burnaby’s 2010 Olympic Legacy committee. Morin was also a member of the Senate at Simon Fraser University, a liaison officer for the Burnaby Board of Trade, and served on a number of boards of directors, including the Downtown Business Improvement Association in New West. “He did a lot of work behind the scenes,” said Ashbridge, who praised Morin for his ability to build relationships and forge connections. “He was genuine. He was always in the best of spirits.” In 2002 Morin received a Local Hero award from the City of Burnaby and the following year he was awarded a Queen’s Jubilee medal. A celebration of Morin’s life will be held Sat., April 12, at the café at Willingdon Church from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. - With files from Grant Granger

New first choice would tunnel under Burnaby Mountain park Wanda Chow

When it comes to routes for its Trans Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, Kinder Morgan has switched the status of its preferred and alternate corridors. That is, what it identified as being alternate Burnaby corridors in its Dec. 16 application to the National Energy Board (NEB) are now its first choices, and vice versa. That change was presented at the company’s Burnaby open house last Thursday evening on efforts it is making to nail down a final route for the pipeline expansion. Kinder Morgan is proposing to almost triple capacity on its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. The move would allow it to increase exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets.

Please join Mayor Derek Corrigan, Councillors and Staff On February 3, 2014, the City of Burnaby applied for official intervener status to oppose the Kinder Morgan Pipeline Expansion project. We oppose this pipeline proposal because of the significant negative impacts that its construction and operation would have on our city. To ensure Burnaby citizens have access to all available information about the pipeline and can participate in the City’s intervention, the City will hold community meetings on April 9 and April 15 and will continue to engage with Burnaby citizens and businesses throughout the National Energy Board hearing process.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
‘Moderate’ Mike’s move
LAST WEEK:
Mike Harcourt was probably too nice a guy to become premier of B.C., especially as the first leader of the NDP to win power after the fondly-remembered (by NDPers, at least) Dave Barrett government of 1972-1975. The Barrett government was the first NDP government ever to take power in B.C., after being in opposition for almost 40 years. Harcourt led the party back to power after 16 years in the wilderness. He styled himself “Moderate Mike,” a fairly accurate label, as he tended to try and make as many people happy as possible, and not bash business as much as some colleagues did. However, he fell victim to the endless plotting that seems to be an integral part of the NDP’s DNA. Barrett had taken over after Tom Berger failed to win power in 1969, in an election the NDP were sure they could win. Barrett was then knifed by labour allies in his last year in power. Harcourt was under pressure over the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holding Society, an NDP-controlled organization involved in many questionable financial moves. He had nothing to do with it, but the fact that it came out on his watch caused some of his cabinet, notably Moe Sihota, Joan Smallwood and Glen Clark, to go after him. Despite the shoddy way he was treated, he remained an NDP member and campaigned frequently for the party. In January, he decided not to renew his membership, a fact made known last week. Harcourt said the Kinder Morgan flip-flop, attack on Carole James’ leadership (is there a pattern here?) and NDP fight against the carbon tax in 2009 caused him to walk away. Reasonable doubts, and his action will cause many within the NDP to ponder where their party is headed, as it undergoes its second leadership campaign in three years. —Langley Times

Digital wave is just beginning VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet? By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back. About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care. The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to. Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.) Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit. Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will

start providing online access to a wide range of government services. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking. By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even criminal record checks. All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you. “You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion

of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.” It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro. Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier. • A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation formalizes a cabinet appointment process for them.

COMMENT
Environment Awards 2014
Dear Christy: This will be our little secret Dear Premier Christy Clark, My impression is that you are a caring and sincere person; that you really do want the best for your child and the children of B.C. For this reason, Christy, I’m sending you an idea. It comes in three parts. First, you/we should leave the natural gas in the ground. While you were in Ottawa today, trying to get backing for development of LNG the International Panel on Climate Change issued its most recent report. LNG is just another fossil fuel, Christy, and cleaner than others it may be, but it’s still carbon from underground where it should stay. I know those around you will wring their hands and cry, “But Christy, what of the jobs? How will B.C. be competitive without energy?” The second part is geothermal energy. Christy, we live on the “ring of fire.” The province is dotted with hot springs but we haven’t a single geothermal electric generating plant. Here’s where to give the subsidies, the tax benefits—indeed, every incentive you can. The third part is how to reply to the lickspittles when they wail, “But Christy, we can’t export geothermal energy!” Given that their chief concern is profit for themselves and their multinational masters, this will be devastating to your sycophants. Well, electricity can be exported using direct current and that technology is coming on fast. But largely, theyad will be newspaper 4.75” correct, we will have to use the
geothermal energy here to heat and cool our homes, to charge our electric cars and run our public transit. The only way to export the surplus energy (there will be a great deal) will be to use it to power industries and agriculture. That’s correct, Christy, we’ll have to export finished products and not raw energy or materials. The upshot of that is lots and lots of jobs. So there’s my idea and now it’s yours. You don’t have to tell anyone you got it from a member of the BC Green Party. It will be our little secret. Wishing you all the best, David W.G. Macdonald Burnaby

What we need is more foresight regarding future projects by thinking about what is waiting for us ahead. This seems to be overlooked too often nowadays. Surrey, I read, is on course to surpass Vancouver’s population in the long run since they have the space. In view of this, it’s hard for me to believe a fourlane Pattullo Bridge is being proposed. We would be sorry soon after it opened! It would not meet future demands, but how many years down the road would it be too narrow again? O. Koppe Burnaby

Re: Critics say NEB muzzling most oil pipeline speakers The NewsLeader story says: “The NEB also on Wednesday declared Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion application to be complete. Stewart called that ‘a joke’ because the route is not finalized and the existence of alternate corridor options in key areas has sowed public confusion over where the pipeline will ultimately go.” Part of the absurdity of this process is that the proponents are essentially saying to NEB: say yes, and THEN we’ll tell you exactly what we want. (e.g. the precise pipeline route, proposed to be finalized AFTER approval). It’s the height of arrogance. x 6.625” Wayne Froese

And ultimately, studies have shown that socially-connected seniors tend to live longer, said Beck. In Thomsen’s
case, he lost his driver’s licence after a stroke about three years ago. With no family, ever since then he was pretty much housebound and dependent on neighbours to take him grocery shopping. When volunteer senior ambassador Tony Lai heard about Thomsen, he contacted him and brought him out to the lunches. The program has also been a lifeline for Lidio Baldeon, 71, who didn’t know what he was going to do after he lost his job as a trucker last year. Separated from his wife and his kids grown, he faced having

Then he wandered into BNH’s Imperial Street offices where someone helped him fill out the paperwork for employment insurance. Without the program around, Baldeon figures he’d be “sitting in a mall all day alone.” Over at Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society, they’re facing a $50,000 cut from their revenues when their United Way grant expires, also at the end of June. The money funds a family caregiver program, about half of its overall budget, said the society’s program director, Linda Comba. That program helps people caring for chronically-ill or disabled family members, or those nearing the end of their lives. Threequarters of its 500 or so clients each year are older children caring for parents while a quarter are seniors themselves caring for spouses, siblings or their own parents. “It’s a huge task to be a caregiver and a highly stressful event in a person’s life,” said Comba. Michael McKnight, president and CEO of United Way of the Lower Mainland, noted the three-year funding commitments were time-limited and “it isn’t realistic to continue indefinitely.” In all, the nonprofit is not renewing a total $1.6 million in grants to seniors service providers. While its overall revenue is positive because of government partnerships, fundraising is harder and it’s seen a decline in money raised over the past five or six years, McKnight said. The United Way partnered with the province to start the Better at Home program which will provide housekeeping and transportation help to seniors in need.

There was no deadline for their application. That’s their own
self-imposed deadline. “All they’re really worried about is making sure that this NEB process is finished up before the next federal election.” That election is slated for October 2015, just a few months after the NEB must submit a recommendation, Stewart noted from Ottawa. Of the 2,100 people and organizations that applied to participate in the process, 400 have been granted intervenor status that will allow them to speak at the NEB hearings. Of those, about 170 are from Burnaby. As for tunnelling under the park, Stewart said a bored tunnel was also planned for the Canada Line SkyTrain extension. “One minute after the application was approved, the company said, ‘sorry, we’re going to do a cut-and-cover.’ Again, I don’t see how [the pipeline is] going to be any different.”

It usually goes something like this: A new patient (often and aging parent, a senior) is referred to our office by their caring family member. Let’s say they’re 68 and have been suffering with right knee pain for the past five years. It’s now debilitating, swollen, and preventing them from navigating the stairs in their own home. The patient has previously gone to a physician to explore the problem, and tried the typical prescription anti-inflammatory therapy, with varied results. The prudent physician then ordered X-rays, which revealed “joint wear and tear.” Now it starts to get interesting... Joint wear and tear has many different names, ambiguous meanings, and strong misconceptions. It could easily be labeled degeneration,
Dr. Gohar Sheikh arthritis, osteoarthritis or joint decay. When asked how or why this has occurred, the suffering senior is often told—hold on— that it is “normal aging.” Wait a minute. What’s normal aging? Let’s look at this a little closer. Many people accept degeneration, body break down, and even arthritis as a normal part of the aging process. Our own doctors and health professionals may even tell us this. But if you consider the typical example I’ve used above, the 68-year-old with the right knee joint wear and tear, the truth is the left knee is exactly the same age!
There you have it. How can degeneration and joint decay be the normal part of aging as it effects different body parts differently? Although rate of healing, metabolism and muscle strength often decline with aging, it does not designate one joint to wear out prematurely while others function fully and longer. The point is, there are many factors that can cause a joint to prematurely decay, degenerate or become arthritic. Since in general we are not to strategically construct our diet, strengthen and balance our body posture and increase body agility, we often find ourselves breaking down with time. That’s right, with time, but rest assured this is not normal aging, it’s just common aging. Of course a car will break down with a certain mileage if its alignment if off, the wrong oil is used and cheap gas put in. But the same care will last much longer, go further on the odometer before being sent off to the scrap yard, if certain variables are addressed and maintained. Why does all this matter? It means if we are functioning relatively well, why wait for joint decay? Careful analysis and the measurement of certain body variables can slow down and even prevent joint decay. This can also be an effective treatment option for some people who are already suffering from painful arthritic joints. The cure (treatment) is often the same as the prevention. Don’t mistake what’s common for what’s normal. When we take care of our bodies and ourselves like we take care of our homes, vehicles, or our gardens, then normal aging should look like Jim Stevens, the 79-yearold who’s run 20 New York Marathons!

Senior could have dream come true One Burnaby senior will have their wish come true thanks to a $1,000 donation to the Dream On Senior’s Wish Foundation. The donation is a joint effort from Nurse Next Door Burnaby and the Burnaby Senior Interagency Society (BSIS). “This money is earmarked for a Burnaby senior,” said Wendy Scott, Nurse Next Door Burnaby owner/operator and BSIS member. “We decided to donate it to the Dream On
Senior’s Wish Foundation because they have the resources available to make even bigger dreams come true. Coming up with the money is one thing, but pulling it off is a whole other story.” The foundation has been making seniors’ dreams come true across North America since 2012. Dreams are submitted by caregivers, community workers, friends, family and seniors themselves.
Dreams can range from computer lessons to a trip across the world to reunite with a family member. To be eligible to submit a dream, the person must be 65 or older and a storyteller. They also need a little help, whether financial, personal or even emotional. To submit a dream request, visit www. dreamonseniorswishfoundation. org.

: I rarely visit my aunt’s apartment. We usually meet monthly in the lobby of her residence for lunch. Recently I had to deliver something to her suite and stayed for a visit. I was surprised to see her home so cluttered. I thought the residence does cleaning, but her counters are piled with papers and containers, and clothes are all over. I also saw lots of pill containers on kitchen counters, in the bathroom and near her favourite chair in the living room. This worries me.
Eve Silverman floors, cleaning the shower, vacuuming the rugs, changing linens and doing laundry. Approximately 15 minutes spent on each apartment. I suggest you speak to the manager. If you are the emergency contact you have the right to ask questions about your aunt’s situation. Perhaps your aunt is a hoarder and you need to address decluttering her suite. Regarding the pills, if you can, go through the bottles and get rid of any outdated
medications. Take them to a pharmacy to destroy. Also, go with her to the pharmacy and get a list of the medications she is taking now and discuss with the pharmacist to see she is not being over medicated. Be your aunt’s advocate. Sounds like she needs more personal attention than just a social lunch date. Just be sensitive to the fact your aunt may not appreciate this new attention. You’ll have to find the right words to convince her she does.

tickets worth $5.7 million are now subject to ICBC “refusal to issue” holds. The identities of the top fare evaders listed by ICBC were withheld. The ICBC list does not include all fare evaders – it only tracks the ones with active driver’s licences. Others who don’t have driver’s licences who ride SkyTrain but never pay and ignore tickets may owe even larger amounts. “We can only play a role in helping to collect this debt where there’s an active driver’s licence or insurance policy, so that’s all we can report on,” ICBC’s Adam Grossman said. There is no amnesty on
partial payment of large amounts owed or cap on the maximum ICBC insists is paid before lifting a hold. “This is provincial government debt but I believe their goal is to recover as much of the outstanding payments as possible,” Grossman said. Old pre-2012 fines that are paid go to the provincial government, not TransLink, while tickets issued after that year are payable to TransLink. ICBC began sending out warning letters to drivers with unpaid TransLink fines in early March. TransLink says more than 30 per cent of ticketed fare evaders have paid their fines since the legislation change in 2012.

If I, someone who was practically raised on sugar and deep fried food, can do this challenge and get healthier - others can too!

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