Burnaby house values see double-digit drop The value of single-family houses has cratered in Burnaby, according to the 2020 assessments.

BC Assessment says owners of more than 1,040,000 properties throughout the Lower Mainland can expect to receive their 2020 assessment notices, which reflect market value as of July 1, 2019.

The numbers are dire if

you are an owner – or positive for anyone on the outside of home ownership fed up with the affordability crisis.

According to BC Assessment, the typical assessed value of single-family houses dropped 10% – to $1,363,000 from $1,512,000.

dropped 9% – to $569,000 from $623,000.

“The Lower Mainland residential real estate market continues to see signs of moderation,” said BC Assessment’s Brian Smith, in a news release.

Burnaby managed to be marginally better than some other Metro Vancouver communities.

The biggest drops were

seen in single-family home values in West Vancouver and UBC, both down 16 per cent year over year, followed by Richmond’s detached houses, down 14 per cent, and then Vancouver, Coquitlam and North Vancouver single-family homes – all down 11 per cent.

sessments, property information and trends such as lists of 2020’s top valued residential properties across the province.

Only one Burnaby home is listed in the top 50 of B.C.’s most valuable residential properties.

It comes in at No. 47 and it’s owned by music superstar Michael Bublé and reportedly includes an under-

ground hockey rink.

According to BC Assessment, Bublé’s home at 7868 Government Rd. has dropped $1,160,000 in value to $20,506,000.

The next most valuable Burnaby residential property is a home at 7629 Burris in Buckingham Heights that is valued at $10.2 million.

It landed at No. 484 on the top-500 list.

City now CRIME

Teen shot in brazen Burnaby street attack Shooting happened Sunday night atWillingdon and Burke Street in what police call a targeted attack Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is investigating a shooting that sent an 18-year-old to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries Sunday night.

Local police got reports of a shooting at Willingdon Avenue and Burke Street at about 10:15 p.m., according to a press release.

Upon arrival, officers found a shot-up Suzuki Swift that had crashed into some bushes.

The three men in the vehicle had fled, according to police, but an 18-year-old who had been shot in the leg was found not far away on Willingdon, and the other two occupants were located shortly after.

“At this time, it appears as though the victim was in a Grey 2011 Suzuki Swift with two other men, driving southbound on Willingdon Avenue, when a white sedan pulled up beside the vehicle and started to shoot at

them,” states the release.

All three men in the vehicle are known to police, and the shooting was likely targeted, according to police.

“To have something like this happen in our city, particularly a residential area, is completely unacceptable,” Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the release.

“We want to assure residents of our city that we are resourcing this investigation from units right across our detachment to thoroughly investigate this serious incident.”

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.To stay anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Police would also like to hear from anyone with dash cam video who was driving in the area of Willingdon Avenue and Burke Street Sunday night between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

HEALTH

Patient in a mental health crisis can now bypass busy ER Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

People who come to Burnaby Hospital in the middle of a mental health or substance use crisis no longer have to face a busy emergency room filled with bright lights, beeping machinery, bustling staff and moaning patients.

The hospital’s new emergency mental health and substance use zone opened its doors today.

It’s a dedicated area designed to be calm, therapeutic, comfortable and private for mental health and substance use patients.

Staffed with 12 new fulltime positions, including specially trained emergency and mental health and substance use staff, the space has a separate entrance from the busy main ER and features a seclusion room, three confidential assessment rooms, a “nourishment centre” with food and a shower room.

Most of the area is painted lavender.

Burnaby resident Axel Sauve likes the colour.

“It’s calming,” he says.

A third-year SFU psychology student with bipolar disorder who has visited the regular ER over the last three years, Sauve also likes the low-key atmosphere, the specialized care and the three assessment rooms.

The regular ER has only one such room.

“That means you’ve got to wait around as a patient to get service. I could have a psychiatrist, who’s ready to see me but he can’t see me because he doesn’t have the space for it,” Sauve said.

“You need your privacy respected.That goes to your dignity as well.”

Sauve said the changes will make a “huge difference.”

ER manager Pat Smid sure hopes so.

“I really want to see excellent patient care delivered and the patients to really feel like they’ve been treated with dignity and respect and have gotten all the supports that they need to move forward,” she told the NOW. The new zone was carved out of existing space and cost more than $3.7 million

to build.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation pitched in $1.7 million and the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society donated $250,000.

Health Minister Adrian Dix, who toured the facility on Tuesday, also pointed out that the province is adding significant operational funding to the project in

the form of 12 new full-time equivalent positions.

The NDP government announced in September it was going to spend $1.3 billion on a redevelopment of

Burnaby Hospital by 2027, but Dix said the new mental health zone couldn’t wait till then.

“These issues in emergency rooms, these issues for mental health and addictions, they’re affecting people now,” he told the NOW. “We can’t wait to deal with all the problems until the new hospital is built.We have to address some of them now.”

The new zone is expected to support 4,300 patients annually.

It’s the fourth project of its kind in Fraser Health – Abbotsford Regional, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals all have similar dedicated areas offering specialized care.

Funding for a mental health zone at the hospital was first announced by the BC Liberal government a month before the last provincial election in 2017 as part of a $13.8-million “interim sustainment plan” to keep the aging health facility – parts of which were built in the 1950s – going until its redevelopment at an unspecified future date.

City now Surveillance used for charges Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

An opponent of the Trans Mountain expansion project says he was “blindsided” and “dumbfounded” when he learned he was facing a new criminal contempt of court charge for allegedly violating an injunction meant to prevent interference with work on the pipeline.

Jim Leyden said the news came as a surprise because he and his co-defendant, Stacy Gallagher, were never arrested for the alleged violations.

The two pipeline opponents were charged on Dec. 31, 2019, weeks after three alleged incidents in which one or both of them violated the injunction, according to B.C. Supreme Court filings from Trans Mountain.

More than 200 people have been arrested for violating the injunction during previous blockades of Trans Mountain’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm and Westridge marine terminal.

Many of those arrests led to convictions and jail time for protesters.

Leyden and Gallagher were convicted for violations in the summer of 2018 and are awaiting sentencing – but the new charges are the first to come in connection to incidents in which the defendants were never arrested.

Instead, the company cites eyewitness accounts from its security personnel and its own video surveillance as evidence.

According to Trans Mountain’s filing, Gallagher was recognized on Nov. 15 by a security guard as he stood with other protesters in the tank farm’s driveway, preventing a truck from leaving the property.

An RCMP officer “familiar with Mr. Gallagher” later watched surveillance video and recognized him “committing these actions,” according to the company.

Both Leyden and Gallagher blocked the driveway on Dec. 2, and Gallagher did so again on Dec. 18, according to Trans Mountain, citing more surveillance footage and security reports.

While Trans Mountain says there were several participants in each of the three

blockades, only Gallagher and Leyden are being charged.The company says the two men are guilty because they were made aware of the injunction when it was broadcast at aWestridge blockade on Aug. 21, 2018.

This knowledge proves Leyden and Gallagher “had notice of the order and deliberately engaged in the conduct of disobedience,” according to the court filing.

But Leyden told the NOW he has actively avoided violating the injunction.

“We’ve been very respectful in that way,” he said.

Leyden, who said he’s an elder with the nearby watchhouse, said he believes Trans Mountain keeps files on him and other pipeline opponents and is concerned about the way in which the private company appears to be collaborating with Crown prosecutors.

“The prosecution is supposed to protect the integrity of the court, and they’re just walking in lockstep with Trans Mountain,” he said.

When asked by the NOW, the company did not say whether it keeps files on individual protesters.

Opinionnow OUR VIEW

Public deserves more details on the LifeLabs hack

You would have to be in denial not to be worried about the recent LifeLabs hack of the personal health information of 15 million Canadians.

Both the experts commenting on the ransomware attack and the company’s CEO have done nothing to allay our concerns.

It’s bad enough that the information was not locked down to prevent an attack, and it appears the information, such as names, addresses and personal health

numbers, likely ended up in the wrong hands.

We’re supposed to be comforted by statements that the information hasn’t shown up – so far – on the dark web and that identity-theft protection and insurance is available for LifeLab customers for up to one year.

Without more details, it’s hard to know exactly what happened and how, but experts surmise the information was encrypted to deny access and, once the ransom

was paid, access was again provided.

It’s worrying that ransom had to be paid because payment may only encourage more such criminal activity.

Apparently, the hack took place in October, but we only learned about it in December once a plan had been put in place and the system locked down.

No one is coming out of this breach with a clean record. LifeLabs, of course, looks bad and has been roundly criticized by both

the Ontario and B.C. information and privacy commissioners.

The commissioners are investigating the scope of the breach, circumstances leading up to it and what, if any, measures LifeLabs could have taken to prevent and contain the breach.

But, while necessary, this investigation is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

What we are learning now is that the information held

by LifeLabs should have

been encrypted so that even if it was hacked, it couldn’t be used.What’s more, it appears that with each breach of banking and other information, hackers figure out new ways to attack public bodies for private gain.

Even B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix looked relatively chagrined when he revealed how and when the cyberattack occurred and explained why the details were withheld from the public for so long.

But as many have sug-

gested, governments need to do more to pass tougher laws to ensure the protection of private data, with costly fines to go along with them.

They must also ensure their own information is protected to the highest level.

As for the company, LifeLabs must provide a strong guarantee that information is safe.

It will not easily regain the public’s confidence.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

BC NDP in tough on this protest

A pipeline protest is once again putting the BC NDP government in a political pickle.

The energy project in question is the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline that will connect to the LNG Canada terminal in Kitimat.

The company building the pipeline says it has signed benefits agreements with all 20 elected First Nations councils along the line’s route. However, five unelected “hereditary chiefs” of theWet’suwet’en First Nation oppose the project and are doing everything they can to block or disrupt its construction.

The latest move by the five chiefs (and a handful of activist supporters) was to issue a so-called “eviction notice” to Coastal GasLink workers at a site near Houston, B.C.That notice came after a B.C. Supreme Court justice extended an injunction against the pipeline protesters barring them from blocking company workers.

This dispute has all the markings of a confrontation that could get out of hand easily, and one that will put the NDP government on the spot.

Already, the BC Liberals are demanding Premier John Horgan fire Forest Minister Doug Donaldson, whom the party claims has expressed support for the illegal blockades in the past.

Horgan is not going to do that over this issue, but his possible cabinet shuffle may lead to a change in who holds that portfolio.

A more pressing issue for the government is ensur-

ing the LNG Canada project gets over the finish line, while walking a political tightrope when it comes to dealing with First Nations.

The government will inevitably have to align itself with the company’s position and thus will likely find itself in a dramatic showdown with the five hereditary chiefs and their supporters.

The RCMP is already involved in the situation, and their presence has heightened tension at the protest camp in the past.

The tensions have split theWet’suwet’en community, although most reports seem to indicate the protesters have the support of a minority of the members of the 12 hereditary house groups. As well, the five hereditary chiefs who oppose the pipeline have been accused of unfairly trying to influence three female hereditary chiefs who support the project.

This ongoing, unresolved dispute has magnified some key questions that can arise when trying to secure First Nations support for energy projects, such as: are elected councils the proper bodies to negotiate with, or are hereditary chiefs the ones to deal with? And if the support is gained of most First Nations along a project’s corridor, is that enough if a minority of other First Nations oppose it?

In this particular case, however, the NDP will have to follow the rule of law as defined by the courts. And doing that is going to be one heck of a political mess to get through.

My house dropped $280K in value. I wish it had dropped even more Editor: Re: Burnaby house values plummet double digits: BC Assessment, NOW News I have just lost $280,000, according to the B.C. Assessment Authority.

Tearing up Metrotown not good for the city’s climate goals Editor: Re: Burnaby’s downtown plan flies in the face of climate action, NOW Letters I agree with Ms. Cohn that tearing down buildings and stores in the Metrotown area and then rebuilding them will have a large negative impact on our environment.

Manufacturing concrete requires a huge amount of energy. The cement industry creates about 8% of global carbon emissions. Tearing down buildings and then rebuilding them not only requires large amounts of concrete and other materials, it also requires the use of dump trucks and other heavy equipment with their associated emissions.

The City of Burnaby has declared a climate

emergency and plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Emissions caused by demolitions and rebuilding within Burnaby city limits should also be included in the calculation of the city’s carbon footprint.

All of us should consider the environment when we replace used but perfectly useable items with new ones, just for the sake of having something that is new.

City now Burnaby bakery raising money for Aussie firefighters Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

For most Canadians, the scenes of the devastating wildfires in Australia are shocking to watch from afar.

But for Hollie Fraser, it’s gutting.

The owner of Burnaby’s Punk Rock Pastries, a popular new bakery on Hastings Street, says her parents’

home in Bawley Point, New South Wales is near the ignition point of the wildfires, which have killed at least two dozen people and millions of animals and destroyed thousands of homes.

Fraser said her dad stayed to protect his home for as long as he could, but was eventually forced to evacuate the immediate area.

“I’ve had friends lose

their houses and lose everything, and sitting back and watching my hometown is probably the worst thing that’s ever happened,” Fraser said. “It’s horrible not to be able to do anything, to feel absolutely helpless.”

Fortunately for Fraser’s family, the local volunteer firefighters saved the family home for now – and Fraser couldn’t say enough good

things about those firefighters.

“These guys outdid themselves,” she said.

To help, Fraser has managed to raise $800 for the firefighters serving Bawley Point and another neighbouring community, through Punk Rock Pastries’ tip jar, donations and cupcake specials, as well as donating a portion of sales

from last Saturday.

“They need every penny they can get. I’m putting out whatever feelers I can,” Fraser said.

Fraser said she’s do-

ing cupcake specials all this week at her shop, 5548 Hastings St., and she’s planning a fundraiser for Australia Day at her shop on Jan. 26.

Communitynow Burnaby’s New Year’s baby just couldn’t wait Claire Bumanglag becomes the city’s first baby of 2020, making an appearance at 4:13 a.m. on Jan. 1 Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Ivan Bumanglag figures it was his cooking that did it.

It was 5 p.m. on Dec. 31. He and his wife, Kjell Bagaindoc, had just arrived home from buying the food for their special NewYear’s Eve dinner, and Bumanglag had set about preparing the meat. It was going to be their final NewYear’s Eve together before the birth of their child, due in a little under two weeks.

It didn’t turn out that way. “(Kjell) was supposed to get induced on Jan. 12, but I think the baby smelled the prime rib,” Bumanglag says with a laugh. “Maybe the baby wanted to join us.”

It was just 5:15 p.m. when Bagaindoc’s water broke. At 6 p.m., the couple headed to Burnaby Hospital. Since Bagaindoc had gestational diabetes, she was kept under close observation and put on fetal monitoring to keep an eye on baby’s vitals as well – especially since the baby was only 36 weeks, two days.

At around midnight, Bagaindoc got Oxytocin to induce labour, and she quickly went from three

centimetres to fully dilated.

By 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, she started pushing.

“It caused her a lot of hard time pushing, because the baby is just hitting the birth canal and moving back,” explained Bumanglag.

At around 3:30 a.m., they called in Bagaindoc’s doctor, Shelley Ross, who called for an obstetrical consult. A caesarean section was looking like a possibility because baby’s vitals were showing signs of distress; the obstetrical consult showed the baby’s head had gone sideways.The obstetrician tried to manipulate the baby’s head to be face down and was ready to call for a Csection, but not before giving Bagaindoc one more chance to push.

“When my wife tried it, she was able to push the baby’s crown by around 4:08,” Bumanglag says, noting the doctor was able to fully pull the baby out by 4:13 a.m.

Baby immediately started crying – an excellent sign – and a check showed that her blood sugar was normal (blood sugar levels are a concern in babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes).

Bumanglag cut the um-

bilical cord, and his wife was able to have immediate skinto-skin contact with the perfect girl-child she’d just delivered – who weighed in at a not-too-big, not-too-small, 2,740 grams (six pounds).

“It was really magical. I am so thankful,” Bumanglag says.

The couple chose the name Claire in part because they wanted a simple first name, given that “Bumanglag” will always be a bit of a mouthful and a hassle to spell.

Even more so, though, they wanted to pay tribute to St. Clare. Bumanglag notes they’d been wanting to have a baby for three years, and they went to St. Clare’s Monastery in Mission to pray for a child.

Within two weeks of that

visit, Bagaindoc got pregnant.

That they’ve ended up with a healthy baby is more than enough, Bumanglag said, but he admits they’re both pleased it’s a girl.

“Girls are pretty to dress up, so we were both happy,” he says.

For Bagaindoc, resting in the hospital with her baby the morning after labour,

there’s one primary goal in her mind: “Sleep whenever there’s a chance,” she says with a laugh.

“I’m tired, but it’s like the best feeling,” she says, noting she’s been able to experience doing things for baby for the first time – the first diaper change, the first bath.

She’s still getting used to the feeling of holding her.

“The baby is so small and

delicate,” she says.

Now they’re just looking forward to starting their life together as a family of three.

And, Bumanglag points out, they’ll always have a good story to tell about ringing in the new year in 2020.

“My wife had a year-long labour,” he says, laughing.

“It started in 2019 and ended in 2020.”

Meet your Heights merchant: Amelia Kleinschmidt How long have you been at his location? th Since December 2019!

Why did you choose this location?

I chose Burnaby Heights for our store because it’s such a vibrant, pet-loving community. This community has such a sense of welcome and neighbourliness – I never considered b another location for our store because of it! There are so many people walking by with their dogs who stop in for a quick treat, and we have the benefit of two fantastic dog parks within walking distance of the store, a huge community centre and many trails.

What does the Heights mean to you?

As I mentioned, I chose the Heights because of the vibrant community, and that is really what it’s all about to me. I love how much the community comes together, from Deck the Heights which we got to participate in, to Hats Off Day and Halloween on the Heights – to name a few.

Pets are such an integral part of the community, too, and it’s so wonderful to speak to residents who share stories about the way their cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs and even a hedgehog have brought so much happiness to their lives.

For over 60 years Cobbett & Cotton has ser ved the local community and clients from all over the Lower Mainland and abroad. We have earned the satisfaction and loyalty of our clients for our commitment to top quality legal representation.

Law firm voted the ‘‘Best of Burnaby’’ by the readers of the Burnaby Now newspaper for nineteen consecutive years.

Amelia Kleinschmidt says Burnaby Heights is the perfect location for a Global Pet Foods franchise because it’s such a vibrant and pet-loving community.

How did you get involved in this business?

I’ve worked in pet specialty for many years, starting when I entered university and staying with it while I worked to finish my master’s (degree). After graduation I was fortunate enough to live in Europe and travel while working in corporate finance in a job I really enjoyed. It wasn’t my passion, however, and I always had a feeling I needed to get back to working with pets.

I was familiar with Global Pet Foods, and, after getting to

know the amazing staff better, I knew this was the right business for me. Not only is it one of the last Canadian-owned pet franchises, but their model is to help me support my community by supplying locally sourced food and supplies wherever I can.

What plans do you have for the future?

Our plans for the future are to walk our talk by establishing ourselves in the pet community and make a meaningful contribution. I encourage my staff

to get involved with local shelters and community organizations. One of my staff, Nikia, has a cat named Monkey, and she currently volunteers with PADS which is an amazing organization, while Eschelle is a long time member of the community with her own blog, two kids and her sweet cat, Mer! In the spring we’ll host a big grand opening so please stay tuned to our Instagram @gpf_burnaby and Facebook @globalburnaby for more information!

Artsnow Burnaby actor onstage in historical drama A Burnaby actor takes centre stage in Stage 43 Theatrical Society’s next outing.

The Coquitlam-based theatre company is staging The Lion inWinter, written by James Goldman and directed by Wayne Nolan, from Jan. 16 to 25 at Evergreen Cultural Centre.

The play is set at Christmastime in the year 1183 in Chinon, France, where the aging King Henry II has planned a reunion where he hopes to name his successor to the throne of England.

He summons his scheming and imprisoned wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine; his three sons, Richard, Geoffrey and John (all of whom want the throne); plus King Philip of France and his sister Alais (betrothed to John, but also Henry’s mistress).

“With the fate of Henry’s empire at stake, everyone engages in his or her own brand of deception and treachery, making for a very livelyYuletide,” says a press release.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g healthcare across Canada.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

You can register to be part of this groundbreaking new hearing study by calling 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study *Wingfield, A., Tun, P. A., & McCoy, S. L. (2005).

ASK A PRE-ARRANGED ADVISOR

Q A

Why is it a good idea to consider pre-planning a cemetery property and funeral arrangements?

Families and individuals who preplan their own funeral and/or cemetery services have the advantage of being in full control of the process and making decisions that exactly suit their needs LINDA PAGLIUCA and budgets. Just like other costs of goods, everyday necessities etc. the costs of funerals and cemetery property are subject to inflation and price increases. Locking in at today’s rates provides a perfect opportunity to hedge against future price increases.

But even more importantly, it allows families to make important decisions now, at a time when everybody can still voice their preferences and wishes. This eliminates the need of having to make these decisions at a later date, when a loved one has passed away, and nobody really even knows what their wishes and preferences might have been. Sorting out the arrangement process has often been described by surviving family members as “the greatest gift” the loved one could have given them.

WESTERN COIN & STAMPS It has now been almost two years since we had to leave the Sears store due to Sears bankruptcy.

It has been also 20 months since our new store (which combines our Sears store and our old Richmond store) opened. It has been an exciting time as we expanded to double the size of our former two stores combined. Our selection of coins and bills that are on display is better than any other dealer in B.C. I have always believed that if a customer cannot see it on display that it is unlikely to be asked for. We also have an entire room for stamp collectors to look at stamps, stamp packages and collections of stamps that we have in stock.

With only one store now I am there 6 days a week (instead of 3 in each store) so people that need to deal with me are able to.

We are still one of the largest buyers of scrap gold (ie broken or unwanted jewellery) in Richmond.

I have a special machine that tests the Karat of the gold and you can watch me as I test it. Many dealers still use the acid testing which is a lot less accurate and can lead to being paid less than price. With the new store we have become a large dealer in Gold and Silver bullion. I show what other dealers are either buying or selling and pay more than them and sell for less. We carry all the types of Silver bars from the 1 ounce to 100 ounces,as well as Canadian Silver Maple Leafs. I also carry a selection of collector bars including Engelhard and Johnson Matthey. Come in and visit our new store. We have had many of our Sears Burnaby customers already show up and I am hoping you will too.

Thank You Jim Richardson

Q A

Why sell my scrap gold to you instead of competitors?

1. We have one of the few Precious Metal Analizers in B.C. This allows us to show you exactly the percentage of gold your item contains.

JIM RICHARDSON Most other store use acids to estimate the percentage of gold and that normally leads to lower prices for you.

2. We have a Federally licenced scale that is accurate to a hundredth of a gram.

3. When we purchase gold , we give a listing of the weight , karat ,price per gram and total price for each of the different karats. You receive the top copy of this purchase order. Many other stores calculate up a value and then pay you without any breakdown of what was bought and for what price.

Come and see us in the New Year.

Q A

How does mindfulness help children improve attention?

Mindfulness is “paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, to the present moment, nonjudgmentally” (Kabat-Zinn, 1994, p4). When children practice mindfulness at school, they learn to intentionally self-regulate attention. Children begin with breath awareness, then shift MAUREEN MACKINNONawareness to a focal point. Focal points include MCQUARRIE, PH.D. thoughts, physical sensations or emotions, with the goal of acceptance for the experience. Zenner’s meta-analysis (2014), examined school mindfulness programs and found a moderate effect on cognitive performance and resilience. Zoogman’s meta-analysis of mindfulness programs (2014), found a reduction in anxiety and an increase in coping, especially for the neediest kids. Mindfulness increases attention, self-regulation, and reduces anxiety in children (NASP). Pairing mindfulness with evidence-based instruction for kids with LD can improve the response to intervention, by reducing anxiety-related memory impairment.

With the Viagra Patent About to Expire, a New Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight Sex Pill Takes the Spotlight A patented pill costing less than $1 a dose stands to help millions of men with failing sex lives; no prescription will be required Dr. Henry Esber, PhD. For Immediate Release TORONTO − A new sex pill is set to take the spotlight with the Viagra patent about to expire. But unlike the former, it won’t require a prescription and is priced just under a $1 a dose.

Sold under the brand name Vesele, The new pill is part of a new class of performance enhancers for men, which work on the body and mind, supporting harder, firmer erections.

Formulated with a special compound known as an “accelerator”, Vesele can transport its active ingredients faster and more efficiently into the blood stream, where it really starts to work.

The patented ingredient blend initiates a process known as vasodilation, which causes arteries and vessels through the body to expand.

This allows blood to flow to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer.

But what makes Vesele so remarkable, and what these other sex pills can’t do, is that a small portion of this blood flows to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on when taken over time.

This is why the makers of Vesele say their pill has worked so effectively in human clinical use trials.

It stimulates the two most important organs for great sex, the penis and the brain.

The Brain Erection Connection Until now, medical researchers did not fully understand the brain-erection connection. It has now been made clear with Vesele. When both are supplied with a constant blood flow, men are harder and firmer for longer...and have stronger sex drives.

“Most of the research and treatment methods for men’s sexual failures have focused on physiological factors and have neglected the emotional ones. For the leading sex drugs to work, like Cialis and Viagra, you need visual stimulation” explains Dr. Henry Esber Ph.D, the co-creator of Vesele.

According to research published by the National Institute of Health, 50% of men taking these drugs stop responding or can’t tolerate their side effects...and on top of that they spend $25 per pill and it doesn’t even work half the time.

This is what makes Vesele so different and effective.

It supplies the blood stream with nitric oxide which cause arteries to relax.

The patented accelerator speeds up this process even more. The result is an increase in hardness and mainte-nance and frequent sex when it is taken daily.

Great Sex At Any Age With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering Vesele in Canada. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men across the country are eager to get their hands on the new pill and according to the research, they should be.

Expiring Patent Opens the Door to a New Sex Pill: is a new pill that cost just $1 a dose does not require a prescription. It works on both body and mind to increase arousal and erection hardness.

In the trial above, men taking Vesele saw a stagger-ing 45.1% improvement in erection hardness from baseline over a four-month period.

Their erections also lasted twice as long.

Everything feels better. Everything works better.

Everyone performs better. It’s truly amazing.

These same men also experienced an astounding 27% increase in the desire for sex (libido/ sex drive)and an even greater improvement in overall satisfaction and ability to satisfy their partners.

In the same outstanding study referenced throughout, Vesele was also shown to have a surprising effect on women too.

Many men taking Vesele described feeling horny and aroused through the day. The anticipation before sex was amazing. They were also easily turned on. Their moods were more upbeat and positive, too.

Higher Absorption into the Blood Stream Vesele is made up of three specialized ingredients: two vasodilators and a patented absorption enhancer often called an accelerator. And according to the most recent literature, each is considered safe.

Research shows that with age, many men lose their desire and interest in sex. They also struggle to produce an erection firm enough for penetration.

And although there are many theories as to why this happens (including a loss in testosterone) one thing is certain, inadequate blood flow is virtually always to blame. That’s why sex drug manufacturers focus on blood flow, it makes your erection hard.

But what’s more surprising, and what these manufacturers have failed to consider, is that lack of blood flow can also kill your sex drive. That’s because blood supplies energy for the brain. This energy is required for creating brainwaves that cause excitability and arousal.

Studies show nitric oxide stimulates the entire cardiovascular system, including the arteries that lead to both the brain and penis. The higher concentration of the ingredients in Vesele combined with the accelerator ensures that this process continues to work over time. You can imagine why some couples are taking Vesele together.

Vesele is authorized for sale by Health Canada as a natural health product for the following indications; L-Arginine supports production of nitric oxide, a molecule involved in vasodilation.

Same Study Shows Positive Effects on Women

In our study, women taking Vesele saw a stunning 23.7% and 20.4% improvement in arousal and sex drive over baseline.

The sexual benefits of Vesele are also multiplied as its ingredients build up in the system over time.

This is why many men take it every single day.

A New Frontier of NonPrescription Sex Pills With daily use, Vesele is helping men (and women) with their sex lives and overcome sexual let downs without side effect or expense.

Through a patented accelerator, the Vesele formu-la is better absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in remarkable improvements in erection firmness and hardness as shown in the user survey human study. And with better blood flow, users also experi-enced sexual feeling they haven’t felt in years.

City now PARENTING

Bosses should support family life Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

The CEO of a major Canadian financial company made one of the biggest interview mistakes bosses can make when questioning candidates for an open position – he asked if the candidate had kids.

But it wasn’t the question he asked that made his interview experience go viral on a post he shared of his gaffe on LinkedIn, it was the reason why he didn’t think it was wrong to ask that caught the attention of so many readers.

“You can’t ask if a candidate has kids. I forgot that during an interview,” he said. “They paused, gave a weird look and said ‘no.’ I forget people discriminate against parents,” the employer said.

He continues by explaining that there are 15 children amongst his staff, four

of which are his own.

The CEO didn’t think anything of asking the question because he wasn’t asking it to be discriminatory – he was simply curious. He was asking the question just as you might ask someone when you are just getting to know them. Nothing more.

“We might show up after 9 a.m. drop-off.We often leave at five for dinner.We might run if school calls … but we do amazing work in between.We don’t succeed despite our families, we succeed because of them,” the employer concludes in his post, proving that not all bosses are biased bums.

In response to the viral post, commenters snapped back, explaining that employers should never ask if candidates have kids.

“It’s a way to protect against discrimination against women, especially since it used to be that women were the only ones being asked the question in the first place,” shared one commenter.

As it stands now, asking if a job candidate has a family at home is a faux pas – but it shouldn’t be.

With a continually increasing number of dads choosing to stay at home, and a rise in women working in leadership roles in a corporate setting, the question of whether or not a candidate has a family should be normalized and non-discriminatory.

Hiring and retaining an employee should only be about performance, not parental status, but it should also be all right to ask if a candidate has kids, if only as a question to better understand the needs of that candidate.

Many employers now offer family benefits, flex days, child care, and flexible work schedules, many with the purpose of supporting working parents.

Family or not, employees should be given more flexibility when it comes to the hours that they work. In fact, according to an article

shared by FlexJobs, “flexible schedules don’t only provide employees with job satisfaction, better health, increased work-life balance, and less stress, they also benefit employers.Through higher productivity levels, less turnover, and reduced absenteeism, employers are able to retain qualified employees and save money as well.”

I know that not all companies are led by leaders who “get it.”

Discrimination still exists and, unfortunately, it’s still women who take the hit.

But if an employer doesn’t hire you because you’re a parent, do you really want to work for them anyway?

Community comes alive at LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic Burnaby The new year has arrived and you know what that means – goals, diets and overfilled fitness classes. For those looking to get back in shape, the new year can often bring a headache. In the flurry of discounted memberships, new training styles and demanding contracts, it can be easy to get lost in all the noise.

However, there is one clinic that has made a reputation for focusing on the things that matter the most: health and happiness in a safe and secure space. LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic, located right here in Burnaby, is a client-focused health and fitness facility that specializes in safe, supervised exercise and healthy-lifestyle coaching for people who have or want to prevent chronic health conditions.

Lois Sharpe espouses the core values that LIVE WELL is built on. She’s always taking care of others and making sure no one is left behind.

With LIVE WELL’s highly trained and educated Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologists, Dennis is prescribed the right exercises in the right dosage because each program is personalized to the individual’s needs and health goals.

Dennis MacAuley has made tremendous progress since joining and says he hasn’t felt this fit since he was in the military.

Specialized Training Programs and Reporting

Since opening over a year ago, LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic Burnaby has helped dozens of clients make tangible improvements to their fitness level. Dennis MacAuley first started researching exercise programs because of his desire to live a long and healthy life for his daughter.

“I wanted to get my health back on track with exercise and good eating habits,” says Dennis, LIVE WELL member. “I have a bad back and a regular gym isn’t able to help with that but at LIVE WELL, they monitor everything that we do.”

“I just passed the six-month mark and I feel great…I have lost over 30 pounds so far and I have doubled the weights from when I started!” says Dennis.

What makes the program truly unique is that Dennis’ progress updates are reported back to his family physician. This program feature is available to all members and is a real game changer – it changes the conversation in your doctor’s office from one of health problems to one of health progress.

Finding Joy by Connecting with Others

As the LIVE WELL community in Burnaby continues to grow, many of its members have found that by supporting one another, they can benefit both in and outside the gym, which is how the member-driven LIVE WELL walking group was formed.“By walking, you can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce anxiety and promote weight loss,” says Lois Sharpe, one of LIVE WELL Burnaby’s original

Whether it be husbands & wives, mothers & daughters or best friends, many ‘couples’ join the program.

founding members.

without stressing her system.

In addition to accomplishing her own goals in the gym, Lois created the LIVE WELL walking group to get to know her fellow gym peers. Her kindness spawned a network of like-minded individuals happy to help and encourage one another in their pursuit of healthy living. Now, the walking group meets every Saturday at various locations throughout Burnaby. It is free to attend and everyone is welcome regardless of their fitness level.“I value my family, friends, health and being fit,” says Lois. “I wanted to create the walking group because I have walked for exercise regularly for over 20 years and I knew others would benefit from walking as I have.”

“I’ve discovered that at LIVE WELL, I always leave with a smile. The care and thoughtfulness of our coaches means I can still progress, changing my plan to fit personal limitations when needed,” says Maxine.

Sense of Community

In the summer of 2020, LIVE WELL members Maxine and Mike Young will take a walking tour in Wales. The two are husband and wife and when they joined LIVE WELL in 2019, they hoped to achieve their goal of aging “gracefully together.”

After nine months into the program, Maxine had a health scare that she worried might interrupt her training regime. Thanks to LIVE WELL’s caring physiologists, Maxine was able to modify and personalize her program so she could continue to work toward her fitness goals

At its core, LIVE WELL has created a community of people intent on taking control of their health and improving their quality of life so they can live to their fullest each day. Whether it is from the staff or from friendly peers, LIVE WELL is proud to boast an accepting, inviting and safe environment for anyone looking to create a healthier and happier lifestyle.

With clinics throughout BC, including right here in Burnaby LIVE WELL’s evidence-based programs are ideal for those with chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity and for anyone who wants to improve their general wellness.

Young lineup a new start for Byrne

Senior Bulldogs gain confidence with solid start Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It happens to every school sports program, so it comes as no surprise that the Byrne Creek Bulldogs are embracing a youth movement.

A projected powerhouse team on the senior boys 3-A basketball circuit the past five seasons, the program is gaining confidence and accomplishments as it transitions with a mostly new roster.

And while they don’t have any one taller than six-footthree, the squad – with a starting lineup comprised of grade 10s and 11s – makes up for that deficit with a lot of heart.

“The progress has been really promising,” coach Bal Dhillon said. “We have found our play style pretty smoothly, and we’ve made improvements in areas we wanted to do.”

Yesterday (Wednesday, past the NOW’s deadline), the squad jumped into the St.Thomas More Collegiate Chancellor tournament against unranked Rick Hansen of Abbotsford. A win would likely pit them against 3-A’s No. 1 team, G.W. Graham, in the quarterfinal (5:15 p.m. on Thursday).

Last year’s Byrne Creek roster boasted nine Grade 12s, qualified for a third straight provincials where they finished 10th overall.

Pre-season polls listed them among the top-10, and now list them as an honourable mention.

This season’s success isn’t hinged to a 3-A B.C. tourney ticket, however. Dhillon says the goal is to build character, develop healthy habits and a camaraderie that gives them a fighting chance every time they step onto the court.

“What we want to do is offer an opportunity for these kids to compete at a high level,” remarked the coach. “If you’re improving every day, you are learning and having fun, that’s the big picture.”

It’s been a pretty steady rise upwards since the first tip off back in November.

Burnaby locks up twin Quinn titles The BurnabyWinter Club proves unbeatable in the bantam elite, peewee divisions Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

From the early going, it looked as though the Burnaby Winter Club’s bantam AAA prep Bruins had their work cut out for them at the fifth annual Pat Quinn Classic.

In the tourney’s opening game against the Greater Vancouver Canadians, the Burnaby squad trailed 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 4-3 before rallying to salvage a 4-4 tie in Saturday’s bantam AAA Elite division opener.

Flip ahead to Tuesday, when the Bruins closed out a double-dip and four-day march by blasting the Cariboo Cougars 11-3 to capture the Quinn banner, where smiles were the emoji of the day.

Although Cariboo battled to be within a goal by the game’s midpoint, Burnaby breezed ahead with some timely scoring over the final 21 minutes to make it a comfortable, one-sided win.

Defenceman Tait Humphries’ second goal of the second period kick-started the run, 44 seconds after the Cougars had got it to 4-3 midway through the second period.

Burnaby native Aleksey Chkichkin converted a powerplay chance with 47 seconds left in the period to make it 6-3, and the Bruins would add five more goals in the third to reclaim the Quinn Classic championship crown after a one-year lull.

In the semifinal, Burnaby blanked the San Jose junior Sharks 5-0, with Burnaby natives David Adaszynski,Tyler Chan, Dryden Kuramoto (with two) and Tyler Tse accounting for the offence. Netminder Charlie Tritt turned aside 40 shots, as the Bruins were outshot 40-20 by the Sharks.

It was the team’s second shutout of the tourney, as they responded to a 4-4 draw with Greater Vancouver with an 8-0 thumping of Leheigh Cement of Edmonton, where Dylan Emmerson and Alex Sandhu notched three points apiece.Tritt kicked out 14 shots in that win.

They also disposed of Fort Saskatchewan 7-2, with Chan and Sandhu each netting a pair, while Kuramoto accounted for a goal and three helpers.

In their other round-robin game, it was another 8-0 statement, this time over the Junior Coyotes. Ben van der Tas stopped all 14 shots he faced, while Kuramoto, with two goals, and Chan, with a goal and three helpers, led the offence.

Chan would finish tied with San Jose’s Macklin Celebrini for the scoring title, notching five goals and eight assists over six games. Kuramoto, with a tourney-high seven goals, stood one point back with 12 points, while Adaszynski rounded out the top-four scorers with six goals and four assists.

The Sharks would knock off the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds 5-2 to claim the bronze medal.

In the peewee AAA elite division, the BWC emerged victorious in a showdown with Calgary’s Glenlake Hawks, prevailing 4-2.

Savan Virk opened the scoring with back-to-back markers to give Burnaby a 2-0 lead. Glenlake responded, however, with two of their own, but the Bruins surged ahead on Zachary Pantelakis’s third goal of the tourney. Jakob Oreskovic completed the offence, while Liam Russell made 10 saves in the win.

They had advanced to the final with a 4-0 shutout over Semiahmoo, with Russell blocking 12 shots.Virk registered a hat trick, and Joshua Lee adding a single.

In the final game of the round robin,Virk counted four goals and an assist, while Oreskovic tallied twice and set up two others in a 7-1 decision over Richmond.

Burnaby went undefeated in its run through the peewee elite division, including back-to-back 7-0 victories over Nanaimo and Arizona. Ben Kindel racked up four goals over the two games.

A Burnaby native,Virk was the top scorer throughout the tourney, putting up 11 goals and eight assists over six games. Oreskovic notched six goals and seven assists, while Pantelakis finished with three goals

and five helpers over six games.

In the bantam AAA division, West Vancouver topped the Northwest Hawks 7-2, thanks to a twogoal effort from Justin Ivanusec.

The Winter Club’s A2 Bruins posted two wins over its five games, beating Langley 5-2, thanks to two goals by Ashton Beriana, and another Langley squad 4-2. Kainoah Brankovic supplied the game winning goal late in the third period, while Beriana notched another pair.

Beriana finished the five-game stint with seven goals and one assist, while Ilija Majkic counted a goal and four assists.

The Burnaby minor Bulldogs were unable to get a win in their run, losing a couple of close ones along the way.

In the tourney opener, the Bulldogs overcame a two-goal deficit to get even at 3-3 midway through the game, before falling 4-3 to Victoria.

Burnaby’s goals were off the sticks of Colby Longeau, Ryan Zhang and Isaac Zhao.

They fell 3-0 to Dallas and 10-1 to North Island, before wrapping up the run with a 6-4 setback to Arizona. Anthony Dalla Pace, Baden Pazdzierski, Jake Pizzolon and Longeau supplied the offence.

The Burnaby Winter Club’s bantam AAA entry had a little better luck, advancing to the playoff round Continued on page 26

In their last test, Kirsten Lai and Kristin Mesic tallied in a 5-2 loss to Victoria.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Metro Vancouver home sales skyrocket 88% over last year Home sales in Metro Vancouver were a whopping 88 per cent higher in December 2019 than the same month in 2018, bringing the year’s total resale transactions to more than 2018’s total, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported January 3.

Across the whole year, there were 25,351 residential sales in the region in 2019, a three per cent increase from the 24,619 sales in 2018.

However, the year’s activity was still overall below historic levels, and a 29.6 per cent decrease from the 35,993 home sales in 2017, said the board.

Last year’s sales total was 20.3 per cent below the region’s 10-year sales average, it reported.

Ashley Smith, REBGV president, said, “Home buyer confidence was a factor throughout the year. Demand was quieter in the normally busy spring season and it picked up in the second half of the year.”

December’s strong activity

December’s unusually strong activity told a different story than that of the full year, with the sales total 9.5 per cent above the 10-year average for December. The 2,016 transactions reported last month were 88.1 per cent higher than December 2018, although this was a 19.3 per cent drop from November 2019, as the market slowed for the festive season.

Sellers also took a holiday hiatus, with new listings in December seeing a drop of almost half (46.8 per cent) compared with November.

The total number of homes listed on the MLS in Metro Vancouver stands at 8,603, a 16.3 per cent annual decrease and 20.1 per cent lower than November.

The return to a seller’s market seems to be firming up. For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for December 2019 was 23.4 per cent. A seller’s market is defined when the ratio remains above 20 per cent for several months.

However, this varies by home type, as the ratio is 15.2 per cent for detached homes (balanced), 25.7 per cent for townhomes and 32.5 per cent for apartments (now firmly a seller’s market).

The region’s benchmark composite home price (all home types combined) was $1,001,000 in December, having dropped below the milliondollar mark for the previous six months. This price is a 3.1 per cent decrease compared with December 2018 but a slight rise of 0.7 per cent over November, and the third consecutive monthly increase.

from November 2019. The benchmark price for detached properties in the region is $1,423,500, four per cent down from December 2018, and a 0.6 per cent lift over November.

Sales of attached homes such as townhouses and duplexes in Metro Vancouver in December totalled 364, a leap of 92.6 per cent over December 2018, but a month-over-month decline of 19.3 per cent. The benchmark price of an attached home in the region is now $778,400. This is a 2.4 per cent decrease from December 2018, and a 0.7 per cent rise since November 2019.

Condo sales across the region totalled 1,053 in December, a near-doubling (up 96.8 per cent) of the condo sales in December 2018, and a drop of 13.8 per cent from November 2019. A typical apartment in Metro Vancouver is $656,700, said the board. This is a 2.7 per cent slip from December 2018, and a 0.8 per cent increase compared with November 2019.

Home prices vary widely in different areas throughout the region. To get a good idea of home prices in a specific Metro Vancouver location and by property type, go to rebgv.org

There were 599 detached home sales in the region last month, which is a 72.1 per cent increase over December 2018, and a 27.4 per cent drop

REID, Helen Beatrice August 19, 1920 - December 24, 2019 We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother on December 24, 2019. Helen Beatrice Reid (Richards) was born in Sheffield, England on August 19, 1920. Amongst the happiest times of her life were early morning rides on her pony. “Dolly” over the English moors. She joined the army in England, met a handsome soldier, married and came to Canada. They settled in Vancouver and later Burnaby. Many happy summers were spent fishing in Pender Harbour.

She was petite in stature but had a lion’s spirit. The thief at Metrotown who stole her purse found this out the hard way. “Don’t mess with Helen” was the headline in the Province Newspaper! Helen was a Girl Guide Leader and a founding member of the Burnaby Rhododendron Society, now BRAGS. For many years she displayed her collection of antique garden tools at the festival. Helen was a poet, SFU Biology student (Bamfield Eel Grass), cook on the Phyllis Cormack, a Green Peace boat that sailed from Vancouver to San Francisco. Helen was a gardener extraordinaire. She literally turned the sod and created a garden that she tended until the end of her life.

Predeceased by her husband Herbert Wesley Reid (March 1982), and young daughter Margaret Elaine (December 1950). She is survived by her children, Mark Reid, Susan Reid (Doug Bell), Wendy Bissky (Tim), grandson Miles Bissky (Megan), great grandchildren Espen and Kendrick, nephew and niece in Canada Peter Allenbach (Patsy), Rosemary Allenbach (Les), great nephew and niece Alex and Emma Biron, nephews and niece in England Jon, Antony and Thea Richards.

Many thanks to the staff and Gerry at Courtyard Terrace for their support. Gardening and the Sunflower raising contest are now a part of life at the Park Place Assisted Living Residence.

Special thanks to Imelda, Roy and Michelle who made Courtyard Terrace a true home. Thanks also to a friend, Marshall, for the gift of roses which brought her much joy. Thank you to Dr. Cameron who was there for her for many years.

She will be missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held in May. Details TBA and will be posted on the Martin Brothers website.
