Two Burnaby organizations are get-ting help from the federal governmentto better understand the transportationneeds of seniors and to help them feelless isolated.

Burnaby Neighbourhood House andBurnaby Community Services have se-cured $1.1 million in funding throughthe Government of Canada’s New Ho-rizons for Seniors Program for Pan-Canadian projects, which since 2004,has funded more than 17,000 projectsacross the country.

Some $610,000 will be directed toBurnaby Community Services’ Seniorson the Move project. Over three years,the initiative will look at the transit bar-riers socially isolated and low-incomeseniors face throughout MetroVancou-ver.

“Seniors are a very diverse populationwith a very diverse set of needs,” saidStephen D’Souza, the organization’s ex-ecutive director “There can be barriersfrom someone who’s recently lost theirlicence, or who previously had a familymember drive them around, who’s notable to do that anymore, and because ofthat, they’re becoming isolated and hav-ing a hard time getting out.”

Seniors on the Move, according toD’Souza, will test innovative modes ofsustainable transportation services. Keyfindings will then be shared with trans-portation providers and other decision-makers to promote systemic change.Some ideas include transit tours, likeriding the SkyTrain or venturing out onthe SeaBus.

“(We) take them on transit that canbe really intimidating if you’re just afirst-time user at 75 years old. It’s justan easy buddy system to get people onit,” D’Souza added.

Another idea is possibly replicatingNorthVancouver’s Seniors Go Bus, acommunity shuttle operated by non-profit groups that takes seniors to

While negative attention turns to thepit bull breed of dog in light of recent at-tacks around the Lower Mainland andthe country, it appears Burnaby is contentwith the laws already on the books.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he’s notinterested in making any change to thecurrent bylaws regarding the dog breed,either introducing a complete ban or re-laxing the current rules.

He said the question is whether the is-sue should be left up to the provincesor municipalities, adding he’s not sure ifBurnaby has the power to bring in a com-plete ban on pit bulls anyway.

Therehave beenseveral high-profile pitbull at-tacks in re-cent monthsaround thecountry, in-

cluding last week in Surrey where a wom-an was seriously injured after an alterca-tion.

Under Burnaby’s current bylaws, pitbulls are considered a “vicious dog” andmust be muzzled and kept on a leash.Thebylaw has been in place for years, and af-ter a request by pit bull advocates in 2013to rescind the law, it was upheld.The onlychange was the cost of licensing and a fur-ther increase of the impound fees.

“I think these incidents continue toprove we were right to be very, very cau-tious in regard to pit bulls in our commu-nity,” Corrigan told the NOW.

The mayor argued that while everyonerecognizes bad owners are the source ofproblems with pit bulls, the devastatingnature of an attack from the dog and po-tential injuries are much worse than withother breeds.

Sharon Brailsford paus-es on the grey cement patioand peers at the rest of thesurrounding apartments fora moment.

As she walks up a fewsteps on her way out to thestreet, I ask her why she’s atthe open house.

The Burnaby residenttells me she’s looking for aplace for her adult children.

And Brailsford’s story willbe a familiar refrain for any-one trying to steer throughthe MetroVancouver hous-ing market.

The place her son rentswith his partner in NewWestminster is being soldfrom underneath them, andnow they need to find a newplace to live. She says theowner of the apartment hasoffered to sell it to them, butthe price keeps going up.They have a $300,000 bud-get, but it’s slim pickingsfor the couple in that pricerange.

“It’s ridiculous,” Brails-ford tells the NOW, add-ing when she was selling herown home in Burnaby 15years ago, it was hard justto find a buyer. “The mar-ket was so different 15 yearsago.”

She, like many, are ques-tioning where all the buyersare coming from, but she’snot convinced the market isbeing completely driven byforeign investors from Asia.

Brailsford actually likesthe one-bedroom condo inthe 41-year-old apartmentbuilding on Kingsway shejust walked through.Theunit was recently renovatedand, at $280,000, she thinksit could work for her son, atleast for a while until he canafford something better.

The mom vows to presson, and keep looking for aplace, while I vow to visitmore open houses to get alittle glimpse of what’s hap-pening in the Burnaby mar-ket.

Brailsford is also the firstand last person I speak withwho’s in the market for a

new home.As I criss-crossed the city,

I learn the first real week-end of summer doesn’t ex-actly bring the masses outto open houses. But it alsodoesn’t mean the markethas slowed, or real estatewon’t sell.‘I HATE IT FOR THE BUYER’

It’s two o’clock, and thesun is now starting to breakthrough the clouds.

I’m in Capitol Hill look-ing at my first single-fami-ly home. In May, the aver-age cost of a home in NorthBurnaby crept up to $1.5million, according to themost recent numbers fromReal Estate Board of Great-erVancouver.

I’m staring at a 65-year-old house on Howard Ave-nue listed for $1.2 million.

I expect to see a lot ofpeople since the propertyis cheapest detached openhouse of the day, when real-tor AntheaYeo greets me atthe front door.

She doesn’t expect any-one to come through today,she tells me, since this is re-

ally for a developer. But shewelcomes me in to take alook and to chat about thereal estate market.

“I hate it for the buy-er,” she says, when I askher about the market. Shesays the most recent wavein the market started beforeChristmas in cities like Sur-rey and swept across the re-gion all the way out to Mis-sion and Chilliwack.

Yeo, a real estate veteranof 26 years, says there is alot of pressure on the mar-ket from foreign buyers, andeven suggests there’s some-thing shady going on.

“I feel like they’re laun-dering dirty money,” shesays in a matter-of-fact tone,adding the situation is veryfrustrating for local buyers.

It’s a sentiment shared bymany people around the re-gion.

Burnaby MP KennedyStewart has introduced ane-petition that, in part, callsfor a requirement that po-tential buyers register withthe government in order tobuy a home and consider

restricting foreign owner-ship to those who reside inthe city for a certain periodof time.

Vancouver’s mayor justrecently proposed a tax onvacant homes, and in turn,Premier Christy Clark re-

leased a video where shesaid her government willcome up with a plan to ad-dress housing affordabili-ty. She didn’t mention for-eign investment but did talkabout protecting consumersfrom shady practices.

I’m curious to see what aseven-figure tear down ac-tually looks like, so I take a

short tour.There’s no doubtthe home has been lived in.

Yeo explains a family hasbeen renting the home for16 years, but they boughta place in Mission recentlyand now the owner is readyto sell. She says the ownerspecifically waited until thetenants left on their own.

The home just came ontothe market, but the realtorisn’t expecting it to take toolong to sell. She says a de-veloper could put up a newhome and turn around andsell it for $2.5 to $3 milliondepending on the market.

DEMAND IS HIGH INBRENTWOOD

I find myself gazing outat the view from the 22ndfloor of an apartment forsale on Madison Avenue.I can see southwest acrossthe city towardVancouver.All the cars from this heightlook like Matchbox toys.The eight-year-old, two-bedroom, two-bathroomapartment in the Brent-wood neighbourhood is list-ed for $549,000.The emptyunit feels new and modern,

if somewhat cookie-cutterto other apartments built inthe last decade, even like myown in Coquitlam.

It’s a quiet open house.Only a few groups havecome through to view theapartment, notes realtorTe-resa Pang. But the low turn-out doesn’t mean there isn’tinterest. She explains Brent-wood is growing fast andthe demand is high.Thisparticular apartment hasonly been on the market fora few days and she predictsit will sell within a week,above asking price.

So who’s buying, I ask.Pang says it’s mostly youngcouples trying to get intothe market or older coupleslooking to downsize. Shealso points out people arewilling to pay to live neartransit.That’s good newsfor this owner, because theGilmore SkyTrain stationis only a stone’s throw awayfor someone with a goodarm.

In May, sales of apart-ment properties increased

At least a couple othercity councillors would sup-port a local ban, even if it’snot on the table.

Coun. NickVolkowechoed Corrigan’s senti-ment that a pit bull attackcan cause much more dam-age than other breeds.

“I’m not sympathetic tothe argument of pit bull ad-vocacy groups, I personallythink that breed should bebanned,” he said.

Coun. Pietro Calendi-no called the breed “viciousand unpredictable” and

also said he would supporta ban.

However, both council-lors said the ban would bebest from the province.

Meanwhile, it’s difficultto pin down just how big anissue pit bull attacks are inBurnaby.

In an email to the NOW,

Burnaby SPCA manag-er RyanVoutilainen notedthe number of attacks by pitbulls might be higher thanother animals, but addedtheir ownership may also behigher and he didn’t havethose statistics.

“Anecdotally, however, Ihave not noticed any real in-crease or reduction in dogbites, just more awarenesswith additional calls comingfrom the public about unli-censed and/or un-muzzledpit bulls,” he said.

Two Burnaby residentsare facing charges follow-ing an RCMP investiga-tion into a rash of com-mercial vehicle thefts.

The commercial vehi-cles were stolen from con-struction sites.

In May, the detach-ment’s prolific offend-er team came across twomen in an alleged sto-len white panel van. Offi-cers tried to follow the ve-hicle and stop it, but thedriver sped away, elud-

ing capture. However, thenext day, police spottedthe same stolen van beingdriven to another locationwhere the suspects alleg-edly attempted to steal asecond van.The pair werearrested without incident.

“Our crime analystswork closely with Burna-by investigators to identi-fy chronic offenders andareas of the communitywhere we are experienc-ing similar-type crimes,”said RCMP Sgt. DerekThibodeau in a press re-lease. “We identified a se-ries of thefts involving

white vans and the in-vestigation flowed fromthat initial alert. It’s oftenjust a few offenders com-mitting multiple crimes,and speciality teams suchas (the prolific offend-er team) get very good atidentifying these chronicoffenders.”

Robert Karajaojo, 32and Kevin Montemur-ro, 27, both Burnaby res-idents, are facing charg-es of possession of stolenproperty and theft of auto.They are scheduled to ap-pear in court again July11.

A residential park inBurnaby was home to morethan just the usual trees andfoliage.

A small, single pot planthad been growing in Mead-owood Park near the ForestGrove area of the city.

It’s not clear how theplant got there, but a CBCNews story last week re-ported that the tip camefrom Overgrow Canada, acannabis advocacy organi-zation.

Reporters for theNOWexamined the herb but wereunable to determine howlong the plant had been inthe park, or if it had beenplanted from seed or putthere by someone after itmatured.TheNOW wasalso unable to determine ifthe plant was male or femaleor if it could indeed be har-vested and smoked.

After a quick search ofthe area, there didn’t appearto be any more buds in the

park.The city eventually came

out and removed the plant.Dave Ellenwood, the city’s

parks and recreation direc-tor, said on rare occasionsstaff have found pot plantsin the middle of the forestwhere someone is trying tohide them, but not this closeto a developed park.

“It’s rare, unfortunate.Obviously it’s not autho-rized,” he told theNOW,adding he’s not aware of anyothers in Burnaby.

Ellenwood said the plantwas disposed of in a respon-sible way, noting pot is acontrolled substance andthe RCMP was consulted.

PensionplanreformwasmuchneededCredit is due to fed-

eral and provincial gov-ernments this week afterreaching a long-need-ed agreement on pen-sion reform. Predictably,there have been criticssince the plan for an ex-panded Canada PensionPlan was announced. Butthis change is a win forthe next generation – theyoung people who haveseen their quality of lifeeroded from that of their

parents.In a previous era, more

working people had ben-efits like inflation-indexeddefined-benefit pensionsprovided through theiremployers. But the babyboomers were likely thelast generation to enjoysuch benefits in substan-tial numbers.

Times have changed.These days, pension

plans in the private sec-tor often rely on volun-

tary contributions to sav-ings plans and provide noguarantee of a decent in-come in retirement. About60 per cent of Canadi-

ans don’t have a compa-ny retirement plan – andthe numbers among theyoung are even higher.

Some critics argue Ca-

nadians shouldn’t beforced to save for theirown retirement. But wewould argue that indeedthey do.

Finding extra cash tosock away is a near impos-sible feat for many, consid-ering the flatlining of wag-es compared to the risingcost of living in a placelike the Lower Mainland.

Expanding the CPPtrades minimal pain todayfor a much larger benefit

down the road. Contrastthat with the prospect ofthe state having to prop upvast numbers of middle-class workers who didn’tsave enough in another 30years.

It’s not often politi-cians manage to think be-yond the next election cy-cle. Kudos to them thistime for being able to dojust that.

Shameless Shakespeare

Signsofournewreality

A few days ago, the hall-way outside my legislatureoffice was overrun with aphalanx of fully armed po-lice officers, busy traininglegislature staff in a nearbyroom on the finer points ofsecurity. Things like deal-ing with an active shoot-er in the workplace, andmost of those being trainedwere legislature security of-ficers (many of them formerpolice officers themselves)while others were non-secu-rity staff.

It’s worth noting thatwhen I began working atthe B.C. legislature in the1980s, security around theplace was almost non-exis-tent.There were no lockeddoors – anyone could justwander into a cabinet min-ister’s office – and the entirebuilding was accessible tothe public.

Today, visitors must gothrough a screening device(i.e. a metal detector) andhalf the building is closed tothe public. All office doorsare locked at all times andlegislature security staff nowwear full body armor andcarry a holstered firearm.

Now, I’m not complain-ing. As someone who workson the legislative grounds, Iappreciate that well-trainedsecurity personnel have mysafety in mind.

But people make all kindsof threats to public figures,though most of those threatsare never made public.

However, the growthof social media does cast apublic spotlight on some ofthose threats. And the as-cension to the top politicalleadership in Alberta and

B.C., by two women, seemsto have heightened thosethreats.

In Alberta, NDP PremierRachel Notley has beenthe target of death threatsand promises of violence, allposted on Facebook andother social media outlets.

JudiTyabji, the authorof a new biography of B.C.Premier Christy Clark, saysshe was motivated to writethe book after witnessing theugly attacks against Clarkas a result of the premier’sill-advised attempt to havean “Om the Bridge” yogaevent onVancouver’s Bur-rard Street bridge in thesummer of 2015. She notesa Facebook page was cre-ated for a proposed “event”(with more than 900 attend-ees) which would feature themock beheading of Clarkand the skinning alive of oneof the yoga event’s sponsors.Tyabji reported it to policeas a hate crime.

The deterioration of ra-tional public discourse hasbeen noted south of the bor-der as we watch the rise ofTrumpism, or the uglinessthat characterized the recentBrexit referendum in GreatBritain.

But don’t think we inCanada are immune to thisalarming trend.We’re not.Violent threats and vio-lent language are becomingmore and more common inthe political arena, and weare all the poorer for it.

Which is why I expectto see further tighteningof security at “the people’shouse.” It’s the new reality.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

Newsflash:Corporatefat cats are greedyDear EditorWow! The surprise announce-ment about improving the Canada PensionPlan certainly created a bit of a firestorm inthe business community. By all accounts, itreally didn’t expect the federal and provincialgovernments would be able to reach an agree-ment on the matter.

You’d think a six-year phase-in of increasedpremiums starting three years from now topay for improved retirement benefits for futureretirees wouldn’t be something to get excited

about. Butthe CanadianFederation ofIndependentBusinessdirely pre-dicted that aboost in CPPpremiums(half of whichis paid byworkers) will

place “wages, hours, and jobs in jeopardy” andwill make “an already shaky economy evenworse.”

The Canadian Chamber of Commerceadded more doom and gloom by asserting“Employers may have to halt job creation …or delay important investments.”

But chamber chief, Perrin Beatty, gave thegame away when he asserted “there’s nevera right time for a payroll tax.” Translation: it’snot the timing of pension improvement that isobjectionable, it’s the existence of the pensionplan itself.

In other words, corporate Canada simplydoesn’t want to share the wealth with thosewho create it.

So, what else is new?Bill BrassingtonSr., Burnaby

Clark’s story just a‘sideshow’diversionDear EditorRe: Christy Clark’s attemptedabduction at 13 years of age. Her “disclosure”about “personal trauma” she suffered over theyears of unwanted attention, groping or otherunsolicited physical contact, is something thatmost women (myself included) can copy byexperience.

Still, there are those who have sufferedworse; it makes her “disclosure” offensive, butnot for reasons some may think.

With this Liberal government scooping inthe cash from the real estate market, and theeconomic reality that this cash flow is whatis sustaining this government’s fiscal bottomline, it makes this well-timed “traumatic”announcement by the premier an offence tothose who can see it for what it is, a politicallytimed “announcement” to take the focus awayfrom the Liberals’ cash-grabbing fists of themoney mountain in the real estate arena.

Wake up everybody, this well-propped,strategically timed piece of theatre is shiftingyour attention from “centre stage” to a sideshow. After all, the side show is free, but on themain stage of easy money in realty, we will allsuffer in the long term, for the government’sshortsighted cash plan.Angela Fengler, by email

Pot plant pops up inBurnaby park

dana_larsen There’s many morewhere this plant came from. This is partof the Overgrow Canada campaign!We gave away over 2 million cannabisseeds.

Elias Ishak It should be legal. I doubtTrudeau will legalize it, because politi-cians are liars and their parties arecontrolled by special interests.

Affordable housingplan moves forward

bill smith It’s nice to see that Coun.Colleen Jordan is doing somethingother than skewing on-line polls. Notedher desire for an NGO to set-up shopon city property... I could suggest shecontacts the Fraser Institute. Perhapsthey are looking for a new location.

DuaneHughan If you look at tran-sit needs across the region, and thelimited funds to implement workablesolutions, the gondola plan has to landat the bottom of the list. What was esti-mated at $120 million four or five yearsago would easily be 40% more today,and if built would serve a relativelysmall ridership compared to what asimilar investment would yield southof the Fraser. …For a mere fraction of the price of agondola, and without causing the civilunrest and the potential for lawsuitsover privacy concerns by residentson the south slope of the mountain,TransLink could simply schedule moreSFU buses at peak times. Problemsolved. But then we are talking aboutTransLink, and the obvious solution israrely if ever acted upon.

LouK It’s not looking too good forTrump. He does not have the financesto pull this one off. The big money isbehind Hillary who is in their control.Her Wall Street buddies and corporatepals are solidly behind her. Even rightwing nut jobs like the Koch’s are mov-ing in her direction.

Columnist pondersTrump’s future

The Burnaby Board ofTrade is joining a chorus ofbusiness groups concernedan imminent increase tothe Canadian Pension Plancould have unintended neg-ative consequences.

In a statement releasedthis week, the local board oftrade called on members toprovide their thoughts aboutthe changes to the CanadianPension Plan (CPP), whichwere approved in principle

by federal Finance Minis-ter Bill Morneau and a ma-jority of provinces, includingBritish Columbia.

The changes would seeCPP payouts increasedfrom 25 per cent of a per-son’s income to 33 percent, so someone earning$50,000 a year would re-ceive $16,000 rather than$12,000.To pay for this in-crease, contributions wouldbe upped by two per cent,with employers and employ-ees each paying an addition-al one per cent more thanthey’re paying now.This

change is expected to berolled out over a seven-yearperiod beginning in January2019, but nothing has beenset in stone yet. It’s still un-clear exactly how the in-crease will be implemented.

“In the coming weeks,while we wait for the spe-cific details to be releasedby the federal government,we’ll be looking at this is-sue from all sides and lis-tening to our members tosee what impact the CPPchanges may have on Burn-aby businesses and whatcan be done to mitigate anynegative effects,” said PaulHolden, president and CEOof the Burnaby Board ofTrade.

The board of trade isn’tthe only group raising con-cerns over the pendingchanges.The CanadianChamber of Commerce, ofwhich the Burnaby boardis a member, has also ex-pressed concerns about theimpact the increased payrollcosts will have on the bot-tom lines of Canadian busi-nesses, according to a pressrelease from the BurnabyBoard ofTrade.

Holden said that while heagrees it’s important peoplehave enough money for re-tirement, increases to CPPcould affect more than bot-tom lines; it could affectjob creation and consumerspending.

As the board of tradeawaits further informationfrom the federal govern-

ment regarding the chang-es to the pension plan, it’sasking members to contact

Cory Redekop, managerof policy and events at theboard, with any concerns or

comments they may have.Redekop can be reached [email protected].

34 per cent in the regioncompared to May 2015, andin Burnaby North the pricefor the average apartmentwas $428,000.

After 18 years in the biz,this realtor says the marketis strong, but also “unpre-dictable.” In a rush to buy,she says people aren’t evenputting subjects on or in-specting the homes, some-thing my parents back in theday would consider unimag-inable.Though it may seemlike sheer panic for peopletrying to buy, Pang says shewould advise her clients totake their time.

WHATDOYOUGETFOR$5.68MILLION INBURNABY?

By mid-afternoon, I’ve

bounced around from openhouse to open house. I’veseen different price rang-es in different neighbour-hoods across the city tryingto get as wide a spectrum asI can in a few short hours.There is the “entertainers’dream” in the Riverbendarea for $1.3 million thathas a working bar on floorlevel that looks like a bikerclubhouse.

I’ve barely seen anyone,and mostly just chat with re-altors at each stop. So muchfor getting a sense of whatcommon folk are feeling outin the streets. I am told itwas busier last week. I alsohear that the summer is aslow time in real estate.

With time winding down,I can’t resist seeing how theother half lives. I have to see

what the high end of marketlooks like.

Nestled in a cul-de-sacnear the lush green of DeerLake I discover a stable ofultra-expensive homes.

Turns out there arethree open houses on thesame block. I have timeto see two, including a5,925-square-foot house onthe market for $5.68 mil-lion.

What do you get for that?You get six bedrooms, sevenbathrooms, a three-car ga-rage and a lot of granite.

Realtor Jenelle Lu is rightat the front door ready togreet me. A few people havecome through to see it, butbig-ticket homes aren’t sell-ing that quickly, I learn.

She explains the househas been on the market for

three months, but, at thisprice range, it takes time tosell.There has been an offer,but it’s still for sale. Lu saysthe buyer will most likely beforeign, but she suspects itwouldn’t just be for invest-ment and they’ll want to livein the home.Time will onlytell, I suppose.

After a quick tour of thehome that looks like it wasmade just for theTV se-riesMillion Dollar Listing,it’s time for me to snap backto reality. I am pretty muchdone looking at real estate,not really sure if I have thatmuch of a better under-standing of the market.

One thing is for sure, Iam happy I bought my ownplace a few years ago, whenthe market seemed a littleeasier to navigate.

The other $500,000 ofthe federal grant will go to-ward Burnaby Neighbour-hood House’sWelcomingSpaces project, a seniors’outreach program estab-lished six years ago, whichtrains the elderly to go outinto the community, con-nect with other seniors and

discuss with them what kindof resources and servicesare available.The goal is tobring them back to a wel-coming space – like Burna-by Neighbourhood House– where they can socializeand participate in group ac-tivities.

“It’s also about makingsure we have seniors whoare multilingual who cansupport seniors who don’tspeak English as their first

language,” said executive di-rector Antonia Beck. “If youhave someone in your wel-coming place who, whenyou walk in, you identifywith, then you’re going tofeel welcomed there.”

The federal bucks will al-low the NeighbourhoodHouse to implement itsprogram at seven other se-niors’ centres in MetroVan-couver, including two morein Burnaby.

You miss 100 per cent ofthe shots you don’t take, soBurnaby Central grad JuliaSchillaci-Ventura decided toapply for the $24,000 Gor-don M. Shrum Scholarshipat SFU this year.

“I figured I was just so or-dinary and I had no shot atsomething this big,” she toldthe NOW.

Turns out she was wrong.Her essay stood out to the

SFU folks, she was told, andthis spring she was awarded

one of the major entrancescholarships for grads withan academic average of 90per cent or higher who arecommitted to school andcommunity service, leader-ship, volunteer activity, thearts or athletics.

An avid music studentthroughout her five years atCentral, Schillaci-Venturawill study psychology and isconsidering future work as amusic therapist.

In the essay for her ap-plication, she talked abouthow the music program atCentral has helped her de-

velop confidence, creativi-ty, and leadership and team-work skills.

The Shrum, which will bedisbursed over eight terms,will allow Schillaci-Ventu-ra to stay close to home andfocus on her education.

“It means I don’t have tojuggle work as much withschool,” she said. “I’ve beenworking part time for thepast year now, trying to saveup enough, but it’s a lot ofmoney, and when you’reworking minimum wage it’sa lot of time as well.” Star student: Julia Schillaci-Ventura is awinnerof the$24,000GordonM.ShrumScholarshipat Simon

ChopNTossoffers freefoodtothebrokefolksOwner says no one has abused their generosity, so [email protected]

A salad shop is doing itspart to help feed hungrypeople in Burnaby.

About three weeks ago,Chop NToss in the Me-tropolis at Metrotown foodcourt posted a sign offer-ing free food for those whocan’t afford to pay.The sign,which read “Free food: Ifyou are hungry and do nothave money,” was the ideaof Chop NToss Metrotownowner Raman Sharma.

“There were some fewgentlemen who didn’t haveany money, and they werejust roaming around thefood court and they weren’tgetting anything,” NishantSharma, Raman’s son andmanager of the Metrotownrestaurant, told the NOW.

Sharma said his dad feltcompelled to offer the mensome food, and the ideato give food to people who

couldn’t afford to pay wasborn.

While the sign has sincebeen taken down (Metrop-olis at Metrotown manage-ment said it didn’t complywith their signage regula-

tions), the initiative contin-ues thanks to social media.

“We had to take the signfrom the board, but we putit up on Facebook and peo-ple have been sharing it.People have been liking it,so I think that through wordof mouth it’s been (shared)pretty well,” Sharma said.

The initiative works onthe honour system, so noone has to prove they can’tafford to pay. Some might

think such an offer wouldattract scammers, but Shar-ma said so far no one hasabused their generosity.

On average, about two tothree people stop by eachday for a free bite to eat.This amounts to a daily ex-pense of about $20 to $30,Sharma said.

While not necessary,some customers have do-nated a few dollars here andthere, and recently one per-son actually gave a $50 tipto cover the costs of somefree meals, he said.

“The best part is that it’sa great cause,” Sharma said,adding he hopes awarenessof the initiative will contin-ue to spread throughout thecity so more hungry peoplecan be fed.

Stress is part of every hu-man life, but it’s not neces-sarily bad.

Positive stress motivatesus to change, get thingsdone, learn and grow.

Without the gentle wake-up calls from Mom andDad, my kids may not havemade it to school on time.Without their homework

and exams, they wouldn’tbe motivated to study.With-out ambition, we wouldn’tpush our limits and achieveour personal potentials.Without discomfort withthe status quo, we wouldn’tbe motivated to change theworld.

Stress unrecognized ornot managed is negative. Itcan take its toll on our bod-ies and our minds.

Consider how you ex-perience stress. It can takethe form of physical symp-

toms, such as a racing heart,palpitations, heartburn, di-arrhea, constipation or in-somnia. It can affect yourthinking, making you moreirritable, negative, distractedor forgetful. It can impactthe quality of your work andyour relationships.

The amount of stress inyour life can tip the balancefrom positive to negative.For example, if a course or ajob is too easy for you, you’llbe bored. If the demands ofyour job match your abil-

ity to meet them, you’ll bein a happy state of flow. Butwhen the demands exceedyour time or ability, you’llfeel stressed. I see this oftenin my patients whose work-

loads increase when compa-nies downsize.

How we think aboutstress can influence how weexperience it.The key is thelocus of control. If we feelthat we have no control overour situation, we begin tofeel helpless, and helpless-ness begets anxiety. If wefeel our situation will neverimprove, we may feel hope-less, and hopelessness be-gets depression.

Both anxiety and depres-sion shade thinking and

narrow perspective.Whenanxious, we overestimateour challenges and underes-timate our ability to managethem.When depressed, wesee the worst in our selves,the situation and the future.

So how does this apply toyou and the stress in yourlife today? How can you getout of the negative spiralfrom stress to anxiety anddepression?

Start with your perspec-tive.Take a step back and

You’restressed?That’snotnecessarilybadDavidicusWongHEALTHWISE

assess your situation. Con-sider the locus of control.What aspects of your situa-tion are within your control?Accept what you cannotchange, but accept your re-sponsibility to change whatyou can.

In every situation, wehave three potential choices:leave it, change it or reframeit. It may not always be pos-sible or easy to leave a jobor a relationship. Even if we

cannot change a situation,we can change our perspec-tive on it.

Part of our emotional re-action to a situation is dueto the facts of the situation,but a large part of our reac-tion is due to what we bringinto it.That baggage in-cludes our memories of thepast and our preconcep-tions.

In almost every situation,we can be agents of posi-tive change. In big or small

ways, we effect positivechange in our world and inour selves.

In an upcoming column,I’ll provide practical tips inthe daily management ofstress.DavidicusWong is a family

physician and his Healthwisecolumns appear regularly inthis paper.For more on achiev-ing your positive potential inhealth, see his website at www.davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

FabbrogetsGrandOlecallatdraftNashville picks BurnabyWinter Club product 17th overall at NHL entry draft

He’s already got family in the area, somoving to Nashville won’t be anything likea sad country song for the BurnabyWinterClub’s Dante Fabbro.

Rather, hearing his name called by theNashville Predators organization Friday atthe 2016 NHL Draft was music to his ears.

The 18-year-old defenceman was drafted17th overall by the NHL’s Predators to cap awhirlwind weekend in Buffalo.

Fabbro sits atop the club’s prospect list, af-ter putting in a highlight year with the B.C.Hockey League’s PentictonVees and as amember of Canada’s under-18 team.

WithTennessee already part-time hometo sisters Gina and Sophia, who attend near-by Austin Peay University on soccer scholar-ships, Fabbro’s intended home is already afavourite commute for the family.

Now he’s super excited at the possibilityof wearing the yellow sabretooth tiger on hisjersey.

“I grew up loving the Preds,” Fabbro toldNashvillepPredators.com’s Brooks Bratten.“It’s definitely a special moment for me andmy family. I’m honored and humbled to bea part of this organization, and hopefully inthe future I can make an impact.”

At six feet tall and 189 pounds, the NewWestminster-born blueliner projects as a

shrewd puckhandler with plenty of position-al smarts.

“He’s a good, all-around defenseman whoplays in all situations,” Nashville generalmanager David Poile said. “This should be aguy who, if he develops the way we feel thathe should, in the next few years, he shouldbe a top four defensemen and he should playin all situations.We’re not in any hurry tohave to replace our current four, but two orthree or four years down the road, this couldbe the type of guy who would be perfect tomove into our lineup.”

Fabbro will first begin the next stage of hisdevelopment as a freshman at Boston Uni-versity.

Noting that SheaWeber was his favouriteplayer growing up, Fabbro aims to join thefellow B.C. native, along with Port Moody’sRyan Johansen, at Bridgestone Arena some-day.

“It’s just an honor; it’s such a great orga-nization, and to be drafted by the same team[Weber plays for], it’s definitely a cool mo-ment for me,” Fabbro said. “I know my fam-ily thinks the same thing. ...What they didlast year in the playoffs was pretty spectacu-lar, so it’s a huge honor to be a part of this,and I’m looking forward to working hardand going to development camp.”

Jason Jones opened thescoring, converting a set-upfrom Josh Byrne 3:59 intothe first, followed by JustinSalt off a transition nearlynine minutes later.

After Stevens increasedthe lead to 3-0, MapleRidge got on the scoresheetwhen Ben McIntosh burieda shot behind Boychuk. Inthe third, Byrne’s tally with5:40 to play, gave the visi-
