CITY HALL

Council approves $2M for city parks Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Eleven city parks, recreation and cultural services projects will go ahead after receiving more than $2 million in funding from the city. The largest of the projects includes upgrades to Burnaby Central High School, with the city contributing $1.06 million from capital reserves. Funding for the capital projects – nearly $2.17 million including GST – was approved by city council at Monday night’s council meeting. The upgrades to Burnaby Central are on track, according to Dave Ellenwood, director of parks, recreation and cultural services. “That facility is going on schedule,” Ellenwood said, adding the other projects were mostly “major maintenance, some fitouts and interior stuff.” The high school project includes construction of joint use indoor washrooms, change rooms, first aid and storage space; a lit artificial field with an eight-lane running track; and a natural turf rugby field. Additional funds for the project are coming from the federal government and the Burnaby school district. The federal recreation infrastructure Canada program is putting $1 million towards the Parks Page 4

Keeping hope alive: Ron Braumberger has spent three years waiting for more information about his missing son, Bryan. Bryan disappeared on June 1, 2007, and his family continues to hold out hope he will return alive. Ron has a flyer with Bryan’s information on his car, and he regularly replaces old faded flyers in the Cariboo Hill area.

‘For us, it’s like a twilight zone...’ Alfie Lau

staff reporter

It’s an overcast Monday morning, and the living room is dark in Ron Braumberger’s quiet Cariboo Heights home. But even if the sun came out, there would still be little light in the life of the Burnaby sawmill worker. It’s been almost three years since Ron and his wife, Janice, had just returned home from a vacation in Reno when they found out their 18-year-old son, Bryan, had disappeared, seemingly without a trace. The day was June 1, 2007, and Bryan’s

abandoned car was found in the George Derby Centre parking lot. Bryan hadn’t shown up for work, and he hasn’t been heard from since. “For us, it’s like a twilight zone, and we’re in limbo because we don’t know what’s happened to Bryan,” said Ron, who said his older son, Trevor, is also affected by Bryan’s disappearance. “We live with this every day. We wake up with it, we go to sleep with it, but nothing’s changed ... We still don’t know what happened to Bryan.” During the course of a 30-minute interview with the Burnaby NOW, Ron’s emotions run the gamut from disappointment to hope,

but one thing doesn’t change: he hasn’t given up on his younger son, who would be 21 right now. “I have to keep hope alive that he’s still alive,” said Ron. “Only in the back of my mind, a small part in the back of mind, do I think he’s dead. ... It’s only a very small part.” For Ron, talking to the media isn’t easy, but it’s something he wants to do if it can help his family find their missing son. “It’s very hard.

The facility introduced several innovative techniques in British Columbia and it was the ﬁrst in the province to offer ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy several years ago.The clinic is unique in that it makes extensive use of advanced color doppler and duplex ultrasound, to detect all the diseased vein segments and accurately pinpoint the source of the varicose veins.The technology thus enables delivery of a sclerosing solution into deeper lying vessels with precision that would be very difﬁcult to achieve with conventional techniques. All this makes the treatment safer and more effective with excellent functional and cosmetic results.

A CLOSER LOOK: BRYAN BRAUMBERGER – MISSING SINCE JUNE 1, 2007

Dad: ‘Somebody knows something’ Alfie Lau

staff reporter

The Bryan Braumberger story goes back to May 31, 2007, when he went to a friend’s house in New Westminster, to watch TV and play video games. Because there was no street parking for Bryan’s red 1998 Honda CRX, the 6-0, 185pound Cariboo Hill Secondary graduate parked his car next door at a church lot on Eighth Avenue. The last confirmed sighting of Bryan was just after midnight, when his friends walked him to his car after they had finished playing video games. Bryan told them he had to go home because he had to get up for work in the morning. The drive from New Westminster to the Braumberger home should have taken less than 10 minutes, but there was no evidence Braumberger made it back home. A witness later reported seeing Bryan’s

car in the vicinity of Austin Avenue and Marmont Street in Coquitlam, but the witness couldn’t confirm if it was Bryan driving the car. On June 1, Bryan’s abandoned car was found in the staff parking lot of the George Derby Centre. The police did not suspect anything was amiss, so they ordered the vehicle towed, leaving a phone message on the Braumberger answering machine. When Janice and Ron arrived home from Reno later that day, they picked up the message and started investigating. They soon learned that Bryan had never made it to work that day. They also contacted his friends, but none of them knew where Bryan was. When forensic investigators searched Bryan’s car, they did not find any indication of a struggle. There wasn’t any blood inside the car. Bryan’s identification was found inside, but his keys were missing.

When investigators checked Bryan’s bank account, they learned that there had been no recent activity. “Somebody knows something,” said Ron. “Somebody had a part in Bryan’s disappearance. … We just want them to come forward, it can be anonymously, it can be through a phone call or a letter, but somebody knows something.” Ron keeps laminated posters with Bryan’s information in his car and he posts them on telephone poles in the Cariboo Hill area. When they fade, he puts up new posters. Anybody with information on Bryan Braumberger’s disappearance can contact the RCMP at 1-877-543-9217, or to remain anonymous, CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477). The Missing Children Society of Canada is also accepting tips. Call 1-800-661-6160 or e-mail tips@mcsc.ca. alau@burnabynow.com

abandoned car, I get a pit in my stomach,” said Ron. “We try to do things as normal as possible, but there’s always that part of us waiting for news about Bryan.” Ron tries not to dwell on the negative when he talks about Bryan but little snippets of regret do come out. “We don’t go on vacations anymore,” he said, referencing the Reno vacation when they found out Bryan was missing. “It would be so hard for us to enjoy ourselves. “I don’t dream any more. I know it’s kind of weird, but that’s not something I do any more.” Perhaps the toughest moments come with the everyday, routine things in the Braumberger house. Trevor still lives in the spacious basement, but now he has a dog to keep him company. To keep some semblance of sanity, Ron has kept his season tickets to the B.C. Lions – 20 years is how long he’s had the tickets – but even that’s tough because he used to take his sons to games. Thankfully, a close friend has made sure that Ron always has company during those games. The family’s work schedules are also very interesting.

Because Ron works a late shift, 3 p.m. to midnight, he has most of the morning and afternoon to himself. More importantly, Janice and Trevor, who work regular day shifts, don’t see him for the entire evening. “I worry for her, probably as much as she worries about me,” said Ron. “The one thing I will say is we have supported each other so much ever since (Bryan disappeared). We’re in this together, we’re going through this together.” While Ron and Janice find support from each other and son Trevor, it’s not so easy with friends and acquaintances. “I know it’s been almost three years and people’s lives go on, but for us, it’s still taking place,” said Ron. “We find a lot of people we talk to find it hard to mention it or not mention it, but sometimes I wish people would acknowledge it more. It is the big elephant in the room. … I know it’s hard, but we don’t want people to forget that Bryan is still missing.” Ron said he hasn’t heard from the RCMP in more than 18 months, and there hasn’t been any news since September 2007, when the police took down their command centre in the George Derby Centre parking lot.

Vanished: Ron Braumberger is still waiting for his missing son, Bryan, to come home.

“I don’t blame the police,” he said. “What are they going to tell me if there’s no new developments? … They can’t do something with nothing. … I do know that if something comes up, they’ll call us first.” Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk, media spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, said missing persons cases stay open indefinitely and an officer does periodic checks on the case to make sure that any leads are followed up on. “I can’t imagine how hard it is for the family to not know what happened to their son,” said Gresiuk. “What I can say is if we have any new information that

helps the case move forward, we will contact the family.” After Bryan’s disappearance, the family, through the Missing Children Society of Canada, put up a $30,000 reward for information leading to news about his whereabouts, but even that trail has led nowhere. “We thought the reward would lead to more tips,” said Ron, “but there hasn’t been anything. … I’ve gone through a million different scenarios in my head and I just don’t know which one of them is the truth. We’ve had the best of the best in the police, from their serious crimes unit to IHIT tell us this is something that only Last week’s question Are you worried about the impact of the HST? YES 88.28% NO 11.72% This week’s question Are you going to sign an anti-HST petition? Vote at: www.burnabynow.com

comes up every seven or eight years, a case that just baffles them because there are no leads, nothing that helps them.” One thing Ron knows in his heart is that Bryan didn’t run away. “We’ve kept his car (the red 1998 CRX) in the garage,” said Ron. “I know how much work he did, putting in a new motor, transmission and sound system in that car. … If he had run away, that car would be gone as well.” While there are no easy days, there are tougher ones for the Braumberger family. “June 1 is hard, Bryan’s birthday of Aug. 14 is hard, and so are Trevor’s birthday and Christmas,” said Ron. “There’s a lot more hard days than you can ever imagine.” When the third anniversary of Bryan’s disappearance does come on June 1, Ron knows exactly what he’ll be doing. “I spend the morning doing media stuff because that’s a chance to get Bryan’s story out, and hopefully something comes out of it,” he said. “And by the afternoon, Janice and I go away for a hike. … We’ve gone to Squamish or Buntzen Lake in the past. … We’ll just go away and be by ourselves.”

A different kind of coke

A 26-year-old Burnaby resident should have stayed with the real thing in his bottle of Coca-Cola. At 7:30 a.m. on April 22, the Burnaby man was pulled over for a routine traffic stop in the 900 block of Third Avenue in NewWestminster.AstheNewWestminster Police Service officer engaged the driver in conversation, the smell of marijuana led to the motorist’s arrest for possession of a controlled substance.

Upon further investigation of the vehicle, a large amount of cash and a half-full bottle of Coca-Cola were also seized. But the bottle didn’t just contain soda pop, as the police discovered the bottle had a false bottom that contained a baggie with crack cocaine in it. The Burnaby man now faces an additional charge of possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking. alau@burnabynow.com

project, and the school district is putting in $2 million. The City of Burnaby is slated to spend about $1.83 million more. Other projects include $150,000 to refurbishing the exterior of Anderson House at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts; $50,000 to the Shadbolt Centre for upgrades; $80,000 for interior fit-outs at cultural facilities; $60,000 to replace equipment at the Burnaby Village Museum; $150,000 to replace recreation equipment; $385,000 for building maintenance, replacing picnic tables and maintaining tennis courts; and $25,000 for security improvements. Bonsor Recreation Complex is getting $100,000 towards a Grab and Go coffee kiosk, which is slated to be completed in the fall. Bonsor previously had a restaurant on the premises, but that was converted into a fitness facility.

“The restaurant was too large,” Ellenwood explained. “It didn’t serve what people needed.” The vending machines offer too little, he added, so

the kiosk is a better option. The kiosk will sell coffee, wraps, snacks and sandwiches and will be staffed by the city, Ellenwood said.

Organizers of TV Turnoff Week, which was last week, say the average American watches four hours and 35 minutes of TV each day. Those figures are from a 2006 Nielsen survey, and there’s no reason to believe Canadians are any different. The only difference might be a slight decline as computer screen time replaces TV viewing. Either way, four-and-a-half hours a day of screen time adds up to 31.5 hours

I recognize that local businesses are a very important part of my community, and I am open to the possibility that paying a higher rent in exchange for getting cheaper products at the mall, or better employment opportunities at the job fair might be a good idea.

As a public school teacher of almost 20 years, I have read your editorial letters on public vs. private schools with interest. I am not in favour of private schools as they exist, and I believe they should receive no funding from the public purse. Let me explain. If you ask any parents of a private school student why they send their child there, you will receive the same answer: they receive a “better” education. Better how? The teachers who teach in private school receive the same training as the public school teachers. So, the difference must be with the students, right? Exactly. Private schools can say “no” to children who have special needs (physical, learning disabilities, etc.) and any who are not academically strong (entrance exams). Public schools accept all students, regardless of ability. Imagine you’re a teacher with a class of 30 students – one is autistic, one is ADD, three have learning disabilities, and about another third of the class is reading

below grade level (and you can’t fail them because the government won’t let you because it’s a money issue). Compare that to a class of 20 to 25 students, none of whom has special needs or learning problems, and who have already come into the school as capable learners. Guess which class performs better according to the Fraser Institute. This public vs. private education results in a two-tiered system. The private system is perceived to be better because it chooses who gets it (financial ability of parents, lack of special needs). When the private schools admit all students, regardless of ability, then we could provide full funding for all schools, public and private.

Dear Editor:

Re: Give civic vote back to businesses, In My Opinion, Burnaby NOW, April 24. Giving the civic vote back to business would give some people an undeserved advantage. While independent business owners are an essential part of every municipality, they are, however, no more important than the citizens they employ. Since all business expenses, including taxes, are passed on to the customers, it would only be fair if they get an equal vote on that matter. I believe anything else would be undemocratic.

Victoria: NDP are standing back continued from page 6

In each case, both parties chose new leaders and put the election call off as long as possible, but their demise was sealed. And so the B.C. Liberals will also play for time and may well end up choosing a new leader– one that is clearly different, and in so doing regain the public’s attention and confidence. In the meantime, however, pressure will gradually build on the New Democratic Party to provide some clear, specific alternatives to B.C. Liberal policies. Other than a Pavlovianlike tendency to demand that money get thrown at pretty much everything, New Democrats have avoided being pinned

down on any particular issue. The party’s energy critic, John Horgan, took a tentative stab at defining the NDP’s position on Site C (the party is opposed to it but is willing to be persuaded to back it if specific concerns are met). As murky as that position is, it is one of the more specific positions the NDP has taken on anything. The party is unclear, for example, what exactly it would do with the HST. New Democrats may be signing the anti-HST petition in droves, but if they take power in 2013 there is no indication they would do anything with the HST itself. But eventually, as much as people may have tuned out the B.C.

Liberals, they will begin demanding to hear something from the NDP. Party leader Carole James, who has taken a low profile in recent months, will be pressured to come with some ideas of her own. The NDP is currently obeying the old political adage that says if a government is falling, the Opposition simply has to get out of the way. At some point, however, the Opposition has to show it’s ready to govern. People are going to start looking at the NDP seriously, especially if the B.C. Liberals keep drifting along ever closer to that cliff. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Does Skin Care Cause CANCER?

According to numerous sources including www.breastcancerfund. org, there are many cancer causing ingredients, such as parabens being used in modern skincare.

products. They produce a line appropriately called Natural Beauty Skincare® that is 100% natural and delivers fantastic results.

People have become concerned about what their skin is absorbing from beauty products. For over 10 years Nature’s Creations has been committed to educating consumers on the hazards of toxic synthetic ingredients in skin care products. “It’s very serious, and women are starting to take it seriously” says Suzanne LaurinSeale of Nature’s Creations Aromatherapy and Natural Day Spa. “The average North American woman exposes herself to over 200 synthetic toxic chemicals a day.”

Within weeks, clients comment on how radiant their skin becomes and say their friends notice it too.

Buyer Beware. Many companies have jumped on the “natural” band wagon promoting purity. However, to call a product natural it only has to legally contain 10% natural ingredients. Read labels and ask questions. Nature’s Creations is chocka-block full of 100% natural

Natural Beauty Skincare ® products are hand made with pure botanical oils and natural preservatives for every kind of woman, with every type of skin; dry, sensitive, rosacea, couperose, oily, acne, scarred, mature, and teenage skin.

The Burnaby Citizens Association voted its president, vice-president, treasurer and membership secretary back into office on Wednesday, April 14. The election took place at the BCA’s annual general meeting. Leslie Roosa was also elected as secretary. Those running were unopposed. President Gord Larkin, who has been involved in Burnaby municipal politics for about 20 years, is now entering his third term. Larkin said he wishes more residents would become involved in municipal politics, regardless of what party or organization they join. “The idea is to get people actively involved in municipal politics,” he said. As for the election, Larkin gave credit to the other BCA candidates. “It is a good organization,” Larkin said. “I’ve got a good team around me.” Lee Loftus was re-elected as vice-president, Glen Porter as treasurer and Noreen Boudreau as membership secretary. The BCA has existed for more than 50 years and has held a majority on council and school board for more than 20 years. The current city council and school board are composed entirely of BCA councillors and trustees. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Irwin named a ‘Hero of Ability’ I: South Burnaby

PROFILES

Jennifer Moreau

Burnaby NOW reporter Jennifer Moreau recently interviewed Paul Irwin, a local resident chosen as a Hero of Ability by the B.C. Centre for Ability, an organization that promotes the rights of all people with disabilities to live in an inclusive community that values their participation. Every year, the centre picks a handful of exceptional people who defy the “disabled” stereotype by managing their challenges with a positive, determined attitude. Irwin was noted for campaigning to get more streetlights installed to make his neighbourhood safer. Irwin will receive his award at an upcoming celebration May 13, in Vancouver. Larry Wright/burnaby now

Local hero: Paul Irwin has been named a Hero of Ability by the B.C. Centre for Ability for his efforts in campaigning to make his neighbourhood safer.

Moreau: Could you kindly introduce yourself? Irwin: Paul Irwin M: Where are you from?

M: Congratulations on the award. What did you think when you were named a hero? I: I was rather surprised and shocked. M: Can you tell us about your campaign to get more streetlights put up in your neighbourhood? I: I went door-to-door canvassing to ask the neighbours if they would like more lights. M: How did your neighbours respond when you were petitioning? I: Some said yes, and some said no. M: What other things do you do to help your community? I: Help make things safer, as one of my staff almost fell in a hole at night. When the HandyDart was on strike, I supported the drivers by wearing a badge that said, “We carry people not parcels.” M: Can you describe your condition in a nutshell? I: I have hydrocephalus, spina bifida and very little eyesight on the left and shadow vision.

M: How does it affect your life? I: That’s why I am in a chair. I can’t walk, but I am still mobile. I have use of one hand. M: What’s the hardest thing you’ve struggled with? I: Not demanding people to help me do things I used to do. To ask for more help than doing things for myself. M: What is the best lesson you’ve learned? I: Try and manage with the way I am now at present, although some things are harder than others. M: What is the biggest misconception the public has about people with disabilities? I: To be able to learn how to deal with people with disabilities and the problems they would have. M: Is there anything else you would like to say? I: Hope you can see how to take a lesson from what you have just read. People with disabilities teach others without disabilities. Teach people with different communications boards on being different.

Choral music riches on offer this weekend LIVELY CITY

Julie MacLellan

horal music fans have an abundance of riches to choose from on Saturday night. The Vancouver Cantata Singers, led by Burnaby’s own Eric Hannan, are presenting Baltic Shores, a concert celebrating the music of the Baltic states – including works by Arvo Pärt, Henryk Górecki and Veljo Tormis. Also on the program is the music of the LatvianCanadian composer Janis Kalnins.

The concert is set for Saturday, May 1 at 8 p.m. at Ryerson United Church, 2195 West 45th Ave. in Vancouver. Tickets are $25 and $20 and can be purchased online at www.vancouver cantatasingers.com or at 604-730-8856 or at the door. In New Westminster, meanwhile, the Lyric Singers will be offering up their 15th anniversary spring concert – highlighting a work commissioned by noted composer Ramona Luengen of Burnaby. Luengen’s Surge Illuminare Jerusalem will be premiered at the concert. It’s set for Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon St. in New West. Tickets

are $20 regular, $15 for seniors and students – call 604-340-4353 or buy at the door. If that wasn’t enough to choose between, there’s another wonderful choral concert with local connections set for Saturday night at Shaughnessy Heights United Church in Vancouver. Luengen – who, besides being a composer, is also a choral conductor – leads the Amabilis Singers in A Choral Bouquet, celebrating some of the most inspiring music in the choral repertoire. Amabilis will share the stage with the Okanagan Festival Singers, under the direction of Leroy Wiens. The two choirs shared a successful concert in Kelowna this past week-

end, and they will be repeating it all at 8 p.m. on Saturday at Shaughnessy Heights, 1550 West 33rd Ave. in Vancouver. Tickets are $15 regular, $12 for seniors and students, free for children under 12. Call 604-433-6538 for reservations, or buy at the door. (And, for some who may have already made the connection from reading past columns, yes, I do indeed sing with Amabilis. So although I could tell you how fabulous the alto section is and how you should really, really, really come to our concert, I wouldn’t want to beg in print. It would look a little biased. But you should really, really, really come …)

Teens vie for title

Will they be B.C.’s Best Teen Band? Some Burnaby talent is in the running for the title, as High Life Scenery has won the online portion of the voting in the contest being run by Youthink Magazine and Tom Lee Music. The pop-punk band has members from Burnaby and Vancouver – Braedon Lim on guitar, Geoffrey Millar on vocals, Adam Seckel on bass, Julian Barrientos on drums and Mitchell Chan on keyboards. By earning the most votes in the online portion of the contest, the band gets to choose its slot in a Saturday showcase that will feature the top three

bands. They’ll be facing off against The Knots, a rock band from Coquitlam, and Split the Silence, an indie rock band from Kelowna. The three will perform in the showcase at Tom Lee Music Hall in Vancouver on May 1 at 2 p.m., with a panel of industry judges choosing an ultimate winner. The winner will receive a package of prizes that includes recording of one single at the Factory Studios in Vancouver, a one-day songwriting session with Shaun Verreault of Wide Mouth Mason, a photo shoot and more.

were 37 cents each – the offer is also available all day Sunday – and they were a veritable steal of a deal. The coconut wings and ginger sesame wings were what I call perfect summer food. The Ricky wings – named after Naiker – were another story altogether. “What we were trying to do with the Ricky wing was create something that was hot, but not too hot,” Naiker said. “I have something called the third bite rule. Wings tend to lose their flavour after three bites but our wings taste the best after the third bite. We’ve added the spices and the flavours so that you keep tasting the flavour of the wing well past the third bite.” After finishing off my 10 Ricky wings, I’ll give full credit to Naiker for coming up with a wing hot enough to keep me interested but not so hot that I’m drinking all the water on the table. Naiker said the credit should go to kitchen manager Maggie Cameron, who has the unenviable task of making sure all the ingredients are in place to make 50 different wing varieties. What also differentiates House of Wings is it serves more than just wings. Naiker and staff have recently done a revamp of the menu in anticipation of its anniversary of opening up last May. “You hear in the news how the economy is so tough,” said Naiker. “But we’ve been very busy ever since we opened in May (2009) because we offer huge portions at low prices. We’ve got more than 20 employees, and we’re seeing new customers every day.” Also keeping the House of Wings hopping is their emphasis on showing any and all major sporting events on the flat-screen televisions throughout the

Alfie’s Tips

◆ One of the new offerings at House of Wings is what Rick Naiker calls “The Ironman.” The Ironman is scheduled to be on the new menu, and, like its namesake athletic event, there are several stages to “winning” the Ironman. Anybody who can eat the five Bavarian sausages, three eight-ounce steaks, five ounces of mashed potatoes, three ounces of vegetables, two pieces of garlic toast and 18 ounces

of beer gets their meal for free. If they fail, the cost is $42.95. ◆ Keep your eyes out for some wing eating contests. Naiker is partnering with some friends to help launch wing eating competitions in the future. “We’re trying to put it together, and one thing we’ll do is give gift certificates as prizes,” he said. ◆ Go around the world without leaving your bar stool. Some of the wing offerings at House of Wings are categorized according to country. If you want to try the Latin American wings, you’ll get a jalapeño, chipotle and ranchero-style wings. If you want the Greek wing, you’ll get a lemon garlic, souvlaki or zesty orangeflavoured wings. If you want to be proudly Canadian, the honey barbecue, honey garlic and maple wings are excellent choices.

Are you’re getting enough Vitamin D?

flow • power ha • •

Researchers are still ﬁguring out exactly much vitamin D we need, but they do know that many of us aren’t getting enough. A Health Canada study released in March said that about three million Canadians — about ten per cent of people aged six to 70 — have inadequate levels of vitamin D.

•k un d al

But for many people in Canada, months can go by before they can catch that sunny quarter of an hour. What’s more, the amount of the sunshine vitamin we produce is affected by the angle of the rays that reach the skin, so dwellers in northern climes need more time in the sun.

As a substitute, many turn to supplements. The Canada Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends a total of 1,000 international units of vitamin D per day, of which 400 can come from supplements. But West Vancouver community dietician Kathy Romses says that may well be revised to a larger figure later this year. “There’s a whole bunch of research going on around vitamin D and it’s resulted in some conflicting views on how much vitamin d we should be getting, both through diet and supplementation,” she said. “For me it’s the most interesting vitamin because there are so many different diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancers and falls in the elderly that are linked to inadequate vitamin D.” Romses still tells her clients to stick with the Food Guide for now, but also to try and find their vitamin D in foodstuffs like milk, margarine, tuna or salmon rather than pills.

Too much vitamin D can lead to nausea, vomiting, constipation, confusion, heart rhythm problems, weakness and unexpected interactions with medicines. In the long term too much vitamin D can lead to too much calcium being deposited in the body, which can lead to calciﬁcation of the kidneys or the heart. But a quick glance at the labels on your food can keep you well clear of risk. A person’s ability to synthesize vitamin D starts to decline around age 50, at which point people should start taking their 400 IU supplement even if they are getting to enjoy the sunshine. “The recommendation is also to give children vitamin D drops because they don’t get enough from the milk,” Romses said. “Especially if the mother isn’t getting enough ﬂuid milk intake during the pregnancy.”

Many food products, such as yogurt, are also fortiﬁed with vitamin D. These can help you hit your daily target, but Romses says people should be mindful of stacking foods, fortiﬁed foods and supplements on top of each other.

“You should be getting two cups or 500 millilitres of ﬂuid milk every day. That can be soy milk or cow’s milk. Fluid milk in Canada is fortiﬁed with vitamin D. That’s our key source when we’re not making it in the skin. Soy milk has a different kind of vitamin, D2. It’s from a plant source, irradiated yeast, because there may be vegetarians drinking it. Vitamin D3, which is from an animal source, is more active than D2.”

from food, you’re not at risk. It’s when you’re taking supplements that you can be. That’s why I’m not a big fan of things like vitamin waters and things like Vector bars that people think are foods but are actually nutritional supplements. A lot of people take a multivitamin, then take a calcium supplement and a lot of those supplements come with Vitamin D plus whatever you get from your diet can result in you getting more than your upper limit.”

Intensity key to exercise program Here is a question I get all the time: How much exercise do I need to do to see results? Sometimes I think it is because people want to know the minimum they need to do.

You can take your own heart rate by feeling for a pulse on your wrist just below your thumb, with your palm facing up.

Let me start by saying that if you are beginning an PHOTO © AREKMALANG | DREAMSTIME.COM exercise program already wanting to know the intensity.

Say hello to the Alis: Political satire takes to stage Neworld Theatre is taking satiric aim at the political realities of the modern world with a brand new show that’s coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts this week. Ali and Ali 7: Hey Brother (Or Sister) Can You Spare Some Hope and Change? is on at the Shadbolt from tonight (Wednesday) to Saturday at 8 p.m. nightly. The show is a followup to Neworld Theatre’s 2005 production, Ali and Ali and the aXes of Evil, which addressed Afghanistan and the war on terror through the eyes of the Alis, Ali Ababwa and Ali Hakim – Arab-Persian stereotypes that the actors created years ago during improv games.

Nowitscreators,Camyar Chai, Guillermo Verdecchia and Marcus Youssef, turn their attention to another world featuring, as a press release explains, “homegrown sock puppets, interactive veils and a chorus of African-American revolutionaries.” This new production stems from research into the issue of Canada’s security certificate detainees – five Arab/Muslim men who had been held indefinitely in Canada, with no charges and no legal access to the evidence against them. The resulting outcry by activists and civil liberties groups, combined with the election of Barack Obama in the U.S., was the

impetus for the new show. And, as for the fact that the sequel is numbered 7? “Ali Ababwa and Ali

Hakim thought calling it ‘7’ made it sound more successful and that maybe it’ll excuse it if it’s bad. Nobody

expected Rocky 6 to be any good. Or Saw 12.” Ali and Ali 7 plays in the Studio Theatre at Shadbolt,

Tough year for Burnaby in cup play United denied third straight Coastal Cup title in shootout Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby soccer was shut out of the Coastal Cup his year. The defending, two-time Burnaby Girls United were denied a third straight A Cup title following a 2-1 loss in a shootout to Coquitlam Metro-Ford Silence in the under-18 girls’ championship final at Minoru Oval in Richmond Saturday. With a strong wind blowing off the water throughout the match, Burnaby gave up an early goal in the opening minutes of play and was forced to play catch up for almost 80 minutes before scoring the equalizer. Alisha Penev tied the match 1-1 in the “It was a game 88th minute, scorof with the wind ing with a keen leftfooter from outside and against the the 18-yard box that wind. Going beat the Coquitlam against the wind, keeper cleanly. In the first we let it bother us overtime period, Burnaby’s Marissa too much.” Di Lorenzo, who had a strong afternoon on BRUCE GANT Burnaby Girls head coach the United backline, saved a possible shot on goal from close range, after getting her head on a searching cross to the far post in the 94th minute. Melina Gomez, who started the second half in goal for United, was a bit shaken up after attacking a 50/50 ball early in the second OT session. Gomez stayed in the game. United’s best chance to score in overtime came off a build up from Abbey Vogt and Katelyn Reilly to Mikela Bertelli, whose ensuing shot on goal from near the box was easily stopped by Metro-Ford keeper Emily Wilson. The shootout went to the sixth shooter before Burnaby’s Lyanne Gannon got too much of the ball and sent it over the crossbar. Coquitlam’s Kaila Henly then scored with a low shot to Gomez’s right for the cup-winner. “It was a game of with the wind and against the wind,” said United coach Bruce Gant. “Going against the wind, we let it bother us

too much.” That was evident in the opening minutes of the game, when Coquitlam forward Nicole Wilson got away on the right side and sent a hard, high shot towards the net that Burnaby starting keeper Zoe Miceli got a hand on.

The ball deflected off Miceli’s gloved hand and carried on toward the goal, bouncing over the goalline into the United net after just 10 minutes of play. Soccer Page 27

Lakers top Islanders in Jr. A lax opener Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers argued their case well at both ends of the floor in their B.C. Junior Lacrosse League opener. The junior A Lakers raced out to a 7-1 first-period lead and then coasted to a well-deserved 12-5 victory over the Delta Islanders in their home opener at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre Sunday. Second-year lefty Chase Clark potted a hat trick in the opening 20 minutes of play and newly acquired Jordon Jarvis led all scorers

with eight points, including a trizzy of his own. Brodie Macdonald looked sharp for the most part in the Laker cage, stopping 30 Delta shots. Josh Simons also potted two goals, firing a pair of back-to-back markers to end the runaway first period. Tied 1-1 early into the match, Burnaby exploded for five goals in a two-minute span and were hardly threatened thereafter. Delta got itself on a bit of a roll midway through the middle stanza, scratching to within four goals when the Lakers got them-

selves in a bit of penalty trouble. But Jarvis got the home side back on an even keel, netting his first of the game on Burnaby’s only powerplay marker of the game. Jarvis made the score 10-5 at the end of the second, with a nice finish cutting to the Delta goal. Burnaby outscored the visitors 2-0 in the final frame, including a shorthanded breakaway tally from Nick Bilic. But, as sound as the offence was, it was in the defensive zone where the Lakers hope to prove their worth.

“We usually try setting goals for our defence,” said Burnaby’s Ross Dougan, who was wearing the captain’s letter in the opening game. “Our goal for this game was six goals. We’ll take it and keep working on our team game. We’re happy to get this win under our belt.” With the towering 6-7 Macdonald back in goal for the junior Lakers and a solid core of returning defenders, Dougan believes Burnaby has the right foundation in place on which to build a winner this season. “Everyone is excited to

play and get some Ws,” Dougan said. “It will come down to who can steal the wins now while everyone is at school.” Last year’s league champion Coquitlam Adanacs won their league opener, scraping by the Nanaimo Timbermen 12-11 in overtime Saturday. Burnaby played the 0-2 Langley Thunder in Langley Tuesday (after NOW deadlines). The Lakers will have perhaps a tougher test next Sunday when they host the Adanacs at the Copeland centre. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

First-year Canadians to A Cup semifinal The expansion Burnaby Girls Canadians moved into the final four of the women’s Provincial A Cup with a 3-2 win over Castaways FC at the University of Victoria turf on Sunday. The first-year premier soccer club scored the game-winnng tally with just minutes remaining in the match, when team captain Amy Bobb headed home the game-winning goal. The Canadians started with some dominating possession and attacking patterns and went into the halftime break with a 2-0 lead on goals by Kristen Zoller and Stacy Warren. However, the hard working Island group forced the Canadians into a few mistakes and tentative play in the second half and capitalized with two long range goals on standin goalkeeper Marissa Antoniazzi, who performed well for Burnaby. Antoniazzi, the Canadians starting centreback, was deputized into the nets when Burnaby’s keeper could not make the trip to the Island against the Lower Island league runner-up. With the score knotted at 2-2 and just a few minutes remaining in regulation time, Bobb got a head on a loose ball in the box from an uncleared Britta Rustad corner kick to seal the win. The win moves the Canadians into the semifinals of the Provincial Cup tournament against sixtime defending champions Surrey United. While the Canadians have a solid 1-1-1 record against Surrey this season and a superior 3-2 goal differential in those three games. “Surrey is always in peak form at this time of year and is the overwhelming cup favourite against the expansion Canadians,” said Burnaby head coach Matt Holbrook. Game time is 12:30 p.m. on Saturday at Coquitlam’s Percy Perry stadium. Burnaby won its opening round cup match 1-0 over Richmond FC a week earlier. Surrey United won its quarter-final matchup against Westside FC 3-0.

WATER POLO

Moscrop grad sets goal record at Indiana Burnaby’s Jakie Köhli set a new single-season record goal scoring record at Indiana University. The 19-year-old water polo player scored two goals in Indiana’s 11-1 victory over Mercyhurst in the NCAA Division 1 Western Division championships April 24. Köhli opened scoring with a pair of goals from long range in the first four minutes of the semifinal matchup to set the early tone for the 15th-ranked Hoosiers. The two markers also gave the second-year attacker 78 goals for the season, surpassing Brooke Zimmerman’s 2008 record of 77. Indiana met No. 7ranked Michigan in the west final, losing 5-3 to the hosts in a hard fought battle. Indiana played the final three periods without

Köhli, the team’s leading scorer. Köhli suffered an injury midway through the opening quarter and did not return to the game. The Hoosiers will compete in the Collegiate Water Polo Association Eastern Championships April 30 to May 2 as the No. 2 West division seed.

High school polo

Burnaby Mountain finished fourth overall at the recent B.C. high school coed water polo championships in Surrey. Mountain lost the bronze medal to Yale following a 10-5 defeat in the Tier 2 consolation final. Mountain dropped a narrow 11-10 decision to eventual champion Surrey North in the medal crossover match. A combined Burnaby North squad placed fifth with a 6-4 victory over Earl Marriott.

Soccer: Time for a break continued from page 23

It was the third time in the early going that Metro-Ford was allowed to exploit space on the Burnaby flanks. Vogt’s substitution on defence remedied that weakness. Burnaby began the second half with purpose and was unlucky in the opening minute when a shot on goal by striker Amy Lawrence sailed wide of the goal after the Coquitlam keeper had stumbled and was in no position to make a save. In the 50th minute, Tessa Barbour sent an outswinging corner into the box that Lawrence had a play on. But Coquitlam reestablished some control midway through the period, with much of the buildup beginning in the Metro-Ford midfield. Barbour and Penev came close again in the 69th minute off a corner kick that the Coquitlam keeper just steered wide with a glove. Penev made no mistake on her next chance however, tying the game

with a solid strike with just two minutes left to play in regulation time. “Everyone agreed we didn’t play our finest game today and when you leave it to the last minute, anything can happen, and it did today,” Gant said. “(Coquitlam) didn’t cause us anything to worry about, but in the end, that’s what it’s all about.” The result was an unfortunate ending to a successful association for the United squad. Bruce and co-coach Jodene Gant took over the United team as u-15s and guided the girls to backto-back Coastal A Cups at u-16 and u-17, including a provincial title last season and a silver medal at the u-18 club nationals. “I’m going to miss the girls, big time,” Gant said, adding with the end comes a new beginning in the girls’ soccer careers. As for the Gants, it’s time for a break from soccer, Bruce admitted. “It would have to be a pretty special team for me to return,” he said.

WESBURN YOUTH SOCCER Wesburn and Edmonds are proud to announce the merger of two of Burnaby's oldest soccer clubs. Wesburn had 5 Burnaby Provincial representative teams with the only Burnaby teams still active in B Provincials, U17 Wesburn Storm and U14 Wesburn Inferno. Wesburn is proud of its success through its commitment to player and team development led by the technical directing skills of Metro Gerela. Spring and Summer training sessions are available for all age groups. Online registration available at www.wesburnsoccer.com or contact age coordinators for in-person registrations.

A tough tour

South Burnaby’s Alex Calbick and the junior national baseball team finished its tour of the Disney Spring Training Camp circuit in Orlando, Florida with a 1-7 record. Canada’s only victory was a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Houston Astros on a two-run walk off home run by Kellin Deglan of Langley on April 23. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Justin Atkinson of Surrey hit a one-out single, setting up Deglan for the game-winning dinger. Deglan knocked a 20 pitch over the wall for Canada’s only win. The eight-game tour ended on April 24 with a 1-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

GoGo Bonkers GoGo Bonkers is an amazing group that loves to perform musical songs and stories about how wonderful this planet is. Their catchy songs about riding bikes, planting gardens, hiking in the forest and dancing with fairies are all based on their desire to create a more green and healthy future for our children. This is inspirational stuff!!! Highrise Lonesome Highrise Lonesome takes the traditional sound of mountain music uptown! With a passion for bluegrass, soaring vocal harmonies and some of the hottest pickin’ in these parts, this group of seasoned musicians has developed an unmistakable sound that audiences love.

John Watkins The Hang Drum is a very unusual musical instrument that seems to bear a very close resemblance to a ﬂying saucer from a mid 50’s sci-ﬁ movie. Hand crafted in Switzerland in 2000, the sound of the instrument is sonorous and otherworldly, and in John’s hands, hypnotic and compelling. Metro Seniors Swing Band Performing 50’s classics, old time swing favourites and tunes from the big band era.
