Fighting hunger, one mouth-wateringmeal at a time.
That’s what Burnaby’s top chefs will bedoing on April 18 when they get togetherat the Hilton Vancouver-Metrotown Hotelto serve up some of their best culinary cre-ations for the Empty Bowls event.
This bi-annual gala is a fundraiser orga-nized by the Burnaby Empty Bowls com-mittee, which supports programs that helplocal children and families in need.
“It’s just a good way to promote com-munity awareness,” said Hart House exec-utive chef, Alana Peckham. “I really likethat there’s something I can do to give backto the community.”

Suites: Proposal would turn illegal suites into legal suitesand other provisions of the B.C. BuildingCode and including secondary suites intothe city’s permit, licence and fee systems.
“The approach also seeks to help man-age the inclusion of complaints, suite sizelimits, the number of accessory uses, addi-tional parking, payment of utility and otherfees, and management of suites where theowner does not reside on the property,” thereport states.
According to the report, secondarysuites in Burnaby are a significant part ofthe city’s affordable rental housing inven-tory that would otherwise not exist, “at a
time when property values and rents inthe region have ranked the highest in thecountry.”
The city’s current total of non-markethousing stock is about 6,175 units.
“In the absence of a renewed commit-ment by senior levels of government toactively encourage development of newaffordable rental accommodation, there willbe a continued demand and developmentof additional secondary suites, whether thecity legalizes and regulates their construc-tion or not,” the report states.
If and when the secondary suites areapproved by council, the city will berequired to initiate a program to address
the “illegal” or unlawful 5,878 suites thathave not received inspection and finalapproval from the building departmentthat are located in single-family dwellings,according to the report. A secondary suitein a two-family dwelling would continueto be illegal.
“The city’s program for enforcing ille-gal suites will need to be assessed againsta number of sometimes competing andconflicting objectives,” the report states.“How passive or active the city chooses tobe in pursuing secondary suite legaliza-tion will also relate to (several) objectives.”Objectives such as safety standards, finan-cial equity for utility fees and keeping local
neighbourhood impacts to a minimum.There are 25 individual recommended
approaches that could collectively comprisethe basis for the city’s first secondary suiteprogram.
Since council approved the report, staffis expected to draft a zoning bylaw amend-ment and and prepare public info displaysby the end of May.
In May and June, there will be a seriesof public open houses at major venues infour parts of the city. Staff will report on theresults of the open houses in July.

The coldest place in the universe can befound right here in Burnaby.
The world’s leader in developing com-puters that successfully work on quantummechanical theory, often referred to as themagic of science, is on Still Creek Drivewith more than 90 U.S. patents to its name.
D-Waves Systems Inc. sold its first com-puter to Lockheed Martin and in a recentround of investments, got the backing of In-Q-Tel, which is a venture-capital companythat represents the CIA.
Recently, Lockheed Martin announcedthat it intends to upgrade its D-Waves com-puter to a commercial scale.
D-Waves Systems was founded in 1999by UBC scientists and has worked its wayup to its current 512 quantum-bit (qubit)processor.
Each system has a price tag of $10 mil-lion, is hundreds of thousands of timesfaster than a conventional computer andrequires a temperature colder than deepspace to work.
What sets a quantum computer apartfrom a regular one, besides the fact it’sbased on complex theories that occur onan infinitesimal level, is its ability to solveoptimization problems.
Jeremy Hilton, D-Waves vice-presidentof processor development, said optimiza-tion problems are useful for many things,such as machine learning, cancer detection,radiographs and image-labelling.
“This technology is very relevant to alot of the major challenges that human-ity is facing right now and will be facingmoving forward as technology gets morecomplex,” Hilton told the Burnaby NOW.“We’re trying to solve ever more complexproblems. We believe this is going to bea critical piece of technology that enablesus and humanity to be able to solve thesekinds of problems.”
D-Waves recently worked with Googleon a classifier that was able to identify spe-cific objects in an image, known as image-labelling.
“(Computers) think of an image as a setof pixels and … we’re talking about objectswhich are aggregates of pixels – conveying
to a machine how to do that is a very, verydifficult thing,” Hilton said.
Google offered up its servers, and withD-Waves’s quantum computer, the classi-fier was able to pick up specifically on a carin the image.
“It was actually quite successful,” Hiltonsaid. “The classifier was slightly better thanthe normal algorithms that they had usedat the time.”
It’s something that conventional com-puters would never be able to do, accordingto Hilton.
“That’s a very hard thing, and machinesare terrible at it,” he said. “They don’t workthe way our brains do.
“Your brain works in this incredible
way to process objects in things that youperceive, and it’s how we’re wired, butcomputers are terrible at that.”
Image-labelling is part of a broader classof machine learning, where machines areable to do what humans can.
“And that’s not intelligence per say, butthere are elements of processing that arejust different from what’s possible rightnow,” Hilton said.
The company developed all of its tech-nology from the ground up – right here inBurnaby.
“We’ve come a long way,” Hilton said.

Despite a recent reportcriticizing waste incinera-tion, Mayor Derek Corrigandefends the practice as anoptimal alternative to land-fills.
A study released lastweek from the CanadianCentre for PolicyAlternatives (CCPA) andWilderness Committee stat-ed that waste incinerationwas not only worse thancoal burning and bad for airquality, but it also createsa demand for more wasteconsumption.
Corrigan, also the vice-chair of Metro Vancouver’szero-waste committee, saidmost people don’t knowthat Burnaby has had awaste-to-energy incineratorsince 1988, which has highenvironmental standards.
“Those of us who havebeen working on this formany, many years find itfrustrating when a group ofacademics come and simplydismiss all of the work that’sbeen done,” Corrigan saidof the study, Closing theLoop:ReducingGreenhouseEmissions Through ZeroWaste in B.C.
Burnaby’s waste-to-energy facility has beenextremely useful becausethe alternative would be toput garbage into the land-fills, according to Corrigan.
“It’s much more severein a landfill,” he added.“I think everyone worldwide agrees on that. It’sbeen essentially banned inEurope.
“I thought the CCPAreport was really a polly-
anna approach toreality.”
He saidBurnaby’s incin-erator has beensuccessful in deal-ing with the city’sgarbage – byreaching highstandards of envi-ronmental protec-tion that has beenset - and may needto be replaced inthe future.
Corrigan saidthe best rate of recycling inthe world is at 70 per cent,which means there’s still
leftover waste.“Even with the
best rate of recy-cling in the world… it’s still goingto leave us with aresidual (waste),”he noted.
Corrigan said a100 per cent recy-cling rate is unre-alistic and unlikelyto occur any timesoon.
Most municipal-ities recycle 50 per
cent and he said Burnabyis trying to set its goal at 70per cent.
“I just don’t know ifthere’s any other alternativebut to expect some degreeof incineration,” Corrigansaid. “We do it the cleanestway possible.”
According to a MetroVancouver document aboutBurnaby’s waste-to-ener-gy facility, it turns about285,000 tonnes of garbageinto steam and electric-ity. The steam is sold to apaper-recycling facility andthe electricity is sold to B.C.Hyrdo, with enough powerfor 15,000 homes.
Metro Vancouver is nowlooking to develop new
incinerators in Burnaby’smodel.
“The next generation ofincinerators will improvewith the last 25 years ofresearch and develop-ment,” Corrigan said. “Itwill ensure the highest envi-ronmental (standards).”
The regional organiza-tion has identified waste-to-energy recovery as the
best approach to handlingwaste after recycling, reduc-ing and re-using efforts.
The process to developnew waste-to-energy capac-ity has eight phases and isin its second phase, whichmeans sites are being iden-tified for groups proposingtechnology and areas forthe next incineration projectin Metro Vancouver.

When the NDP formedgovernment duringthe 1990s, it found
itself constantly on the defensivewhen dealing with two majorpower blocs in this province: theenvironmental movement anddoctors.
And I suspect ifthe party wins theelection in May, itmay find itself reliving historywith at least one of those twogroups.
The environmental move-ment was a major headache forthe NDP government. The twofought pitched battles over forestpractices and land-use decisions,and it’s fair to say the environ-mentalists won a lot more thanthey lost.
The protests over logging inClayoquot Sound, for example,gave B.C. an international blackeye and the NDP governmentwas forced to back down andimplement a complete overhaulof forest practices. The govern-ment was also pressured intonot approving Alcan’s KemanoII project, and it was forced toban mining and other activitiesin the Tatshenshini watershedin the northwest corner of theprovince.
Environmental protests onthe legislature’s front lawn werecommonplace, and one eventurned violent when the crowdbroke through legislature secur-ity to smash a window in thechamber as the lieutenant-gov-
ernor read the Throne Speech.But with many of its forestry
aims accomplished, the environ-mental movement has now shift-ed much of its focus to anothernatural resource industry: oiland gas.
The NDP is cer-tainly onside with theenviros on the issue ofthe proposed Northern
Gateway pipeline project. Bothwant the project halted in itstracks.
But things get trickier afterthat. The environmentalists havealso targeted the Kinder Morganpipeline, and are starting a cam-paign against increased coalshipments out of the Port ofVancouver.
The NDP has yet to take aposition on either project, butboth are potentially problematicfor the party.
Another potential headacheis fracking, which uses immenseamounts of water and chemicalsto free up natural gas depositsdeep below the earth’s surface.
There is a growing movementby environmentalists to place amoratorium on fracking, but sofar the party has only agreed tostudy the issue.
This could very well be thebiggest problem the environ-mental movement poses for anNDP government.

food store with a couple of tod-dlers in tow. It’s like runninga gauntlet filled with sweetsplaced just at a child’s levelto seemingly torture both the
child and adult.Who can fault a mom or dad who
caves when the screaming child can’t besoothed?
Kudos to the provincial governmentleaders who, once again, are trying tohelp B.C. children achieve a healthyweight.
The government announced last weekthat it was expanding the ChildhoodHealthy Weights Intervention Initiativewith another $2 million (it kicked offin 2011 with $6 million). Although itseems like a pittance compared to howmuch obesity costs us in medical costs.Obesity-related illnesses cost the British
Columbia health system an estimated$380 million annually.
The experts correctly point out that ourrelationship to food is forged at an earlyage – they don’t call it comfort food fornothing – and developing better eatinghabits and choices must start at an earlyage.
So the next time you see a toddlerscreaming in a food store near the candyaisle, give a thumbs up to the harried par-ent and put your own soft drinks back.

Fracking posters a problemDear Editor:
Re: Fracking fight comes to Burnaby, BurnabyNOW, April 3.
Does anyone feel that a group of people who van-dalize city/government public and private propertywith their posters should get any respect?
The posters are everywhere between MacDonaldand Gamma avenues along Hastings Street; put upin such a manner that they are not removable, notto mention the toner used on them will eventuallymake it down the storm drains and pollute the fishhabitat.
Plus, the city will have to pay someone to removethem, which will damage the quite recent paint job so
they will need to be painted again.Who pays for that? I do!There is a pole at the corner of Hastings Street
and Willingdon Avenue that is specifically made forposters and not a single one of these was put there.Go figure!
I contacted them about this issue and the onlyresponse I received was that they hoped I made it tothe action.
The residents of this community have done a greatjob keeping the poles nice and clean the past year andsingle handily this one group has ruined that.
Any group that shows such disdain for the com-munity by vandalizing and littering it and thendoesn’t even have the fortitude to remove the posters

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
will allow the party towin re-election, and thatmeans it can’t simply bean anti-development oranti-industry government.And this sets the stage fora potential replay of thefractious 1990s.
On the other front,there are talks set for thisfall with B.C.’s doctors toallow a “re-opener” on anumber of contract issues,not the least of which isfinancial compensation.
The government’s cur-rent position is that therehas to be some kind ofreduction in some areas.That simply isn’t goingto wash with the B.C.Medical Association.
The NDP governmentof the 1990s repeatedlyclashed with the associa-tion over how much doc-tors should be paid. It lostevery battle, and one has
to wonder whether Dixwants to go through asimilar fight with no signof success on the horizon.
If Dix wants an assess-ment of the folly of takingon the association, he justneeds to talk to his healthcritic, Mike Farnworth,who was the health min-ister for much of the fight-ing with the association.He came out of those skir-mishes badly bruised andhas said the battles simplyweren’t worth it.
It’s hard for any gov-ernment to take on themedical profession. Forone thing, the general pub-lic is far more supportiveof doctors (and nurses)than politicians. Butthere’s another problemfor government: the asso-ciation is not a trade unionand therefore doesn’tnegotiate as such.
The association is essen-
tially made up of severalthousand private businesspeople who are paid withpublic funds. Getting themto agree internally howto divide up the financialpie is difficult enough, butgetting them to agree toreduce their payments isbasically impossible.
I suspect the NDPwill tread carefully whendealing with doctors, anddon’t be surprised if theyadopt a more conciliatorypath than the B.C. Liberalsif they win the election.
History shows environ-mentalists and doctorswin a lot more battles thanthey lose with govern-ment.
Dix and his colleaguesshould be mindful of thatif they win in May, orthey’ll suffer some longand never-ending head-aches, just as they did inthe 1990s.

Zero waste not possibleDear Editor:
Re: Process is worse than coal burning,Burnaby NOW, April 5.
Yes it is true that we over consumeand waste too much, and we should all tryharder in our efforts to do better.
However, it never fails to amaze me howenvironmentalist overstate their concerns.
Firstly, do they really want to repair andreuse old appliances like refrigerators?
Recently we replaced our 20-year-oldfridge with a new Power Smart one andthe savings on our electric bill were simplyamazing. B.C. Hydro hauled away the oldone for recycling and proper disposal of therefrigerant. Does it make environmentalsense to have repaired this old energy-wasting refrigerator?
Secondly, I can see the incinerator inBurnaby from my neighbourhood. Thesouth slope of Burnaby, with its million-dollar homes, is certainly not a low-incomeneighbourhood.
Lastly, this goal of zero waste is com-pletely unreasonable and unattainable.Mankind for tens of thousands of years hasproduced waste. This is what archaeolo-
gists spend their careers digging through inevery corner of the globe.
No matter how hard we all try toreduce, reuse, and recycle we are still goingto have some waste; environmentalists haveto compromise and accept this fact.
Larry Melnyk, Burnaby
No brakes on oil tankersDear Editor:
There is one more thing I’ve learnedabout oil tankers.
I’ve noticed a tendency on the part of oilindustry supporters to overstate the meritsof double hulled oil tankers.
They often give the impression that twohulls will reduce or prevent spills in thecase of collision or grounding. But the factof the matter is that, by and of themselves,double hulls do not deter oil spills.
In much the same way as a car accident,the amount of damage caused by a collisionis determined by the force of the impact.
As we all know, a low-energy impactwill result in a fender bender, while a high-energy impact will do much more damage.
The same principle applies to ships.And, yes, an undamaged inner hull canhelp keep a ship afloat if a low-energy colli-sion causes a breach in the outer hull.
However, the higher the energy impactthe more likely both hulls will be breached.
A major difference between a ship anda car, of course, is that a ship doesn’t havebrakes.

Shots fired near city parkBurnaby RCMP found
several bullet casings nearCentral Park after respond-ing to reports of shots firedearly Sunday morning.
Police received callsaround 6 a.m. from resi-dents in the 6300-block ofPatterson Avenue, nearWillingdon, claiming tohave heard gunshots.
Cpl. Dave Reid saidofficers and police dogssearched the area, includ-ing part of Central Park,but didn’t find any people
or guns.“There were a couple
of cartridge casings found,but nothing that wouldindicate there was a targetof any specific nature,” hesaid.
According to Reid,investigators didn’t turnup anything other than thecasings at the scene. Hesaid it’s likely that some-one drove up to the park,shot off a few rounds, anddrove away.
“It kind of looks basi-cally like someone has shotinto the bushes, and thatcan be a variety of things.
Someone’s found a gun athome, and they’ve decid-ed they wanted to try itout so they did it at night,or something along thatnature,” he said.
While Reid said inves-tigators haven’t found anyevidence to suggest thiswas a targeted shooting, hewants to remind the publicthat firing a gun is still acriminal offence.
“Discharging a weaponis, in itself, a criminal act,”he said. “But there’s noth-ing to suggest this is asso-ciated to any gangs or anycriminal activity.”

The B.C. Liberal Party has finallyannounced a candidate for Burnaby-Lougheed, the riding held by longtimeLiberal Harry Bloy.
Ken Kramer, a lawyer and founder ofKMK Law Corporation, will run in thenext provincial election in the eastBurnaby riding. The 2013 provin-cial election marks Kramer’s firstforay into politics.
“This is really new to me,”Kramer told the NOW. “I’ve hadlots of involvement, as you cansee, from a community perspec-tive and more as an advocate forpeople with disabilities.”
The North Burnaby resi-dent was chair of the boardat Muscular Dystrophy Canada.He has muscular dystrophy him-self and has been an advocatefor others with disabilities. Most notably,Kramer spearheaded a push to increasegovernment funding for home care sup-port workers while Kevin Falcon washealth minister. The provincial govern-ment announced a $19-million increaseover three years for home support fundingto help people with disabilities, thanks toKramer’s advocacy. He also pushed for asystem where the funding goes to the per-son with disabilities, so he or she can hiretheir own support workers, rather thanthe government handling the process.
“That’s really what spurred all this. I’vehad some real success in working for the
community and being able to work withgovernment to come up for solutions fora unique home-care model we have in ourprovince,” he said.
Kramer has been running his small lawfirm in Vancouver for the past 15 years.
“A lot of what I will bring to the tableis similar to my own career,” he said. “I
work with folks, I listen to folks.… It’s going to be my job to beable to listen to them actively andbring forward their concerns.”
Kramer also chairs the HealthMinistry’s Emergency MedicalAssistants Licensing Board, a rolehe’s stepping away from duringthe election period, to avoid aconflict of interest.
Kramer was born and raisedin Vancouver and attendedSFU, where he studied businessadministration, and UBC, wherehe earned his law degree. He willbe officially nominated on April
14.The Burnaby-Lougheed riding is one
of two local seats currently held by theLiberals. In March 2012, Premier ChristyClark announced Bloy would not be run-ning again, after he leaked a reporter’semailed media inquiry to a company atthe heart of an investigative series in TheProvince.
Kramer indicated he was unaware ofBloy’s track record.
“I don’t know the history to be honest,”he said. “I’ve only been advised, and I’veobviously had discussions with Harry, andI know he’s looking at new ventures.”

Honouring Joe: Peter Chung, owner of Joe’s Table, is planning a grand openingof his café in one month.
“Hi, how are you? My name is Joseph.What is your name?”
This warm welcome greets you at thedoor of a new café in South Burnaby –unfortunately not by the late Joseph Chunghimself, but by his catchphrase written onthe wall to keep his memory alive.
The café Joe’s Table was an effort toemploy Peter Chung’s, the café’s owner,son who had multiple disabilities, includ-ing autism and epilepsy. It had a softopening March 20 and willnow staff others with differentabilities.
“We were looking for a jobfor him and the only job wecould get was working in thestock room or probably a jani-tor,” Chung said. “But my son,and a lot of autistic children,love to talk to people. So, wesaid, ‘Well, if we start the cof-fee shop maybe my son can bea greeter.’”
The new café opened on5021 Kingsway Ave., whichsits in the same building as theCDI Burnaby location. Chungis the chair of the EmanataGroup, which runs privatecareer colleges such as CDI.
The grand opening is expected in onemonth when all staff members will betrained and ready to work at Joe’s Table.
“I think he’ll be very, very happy,” saidChung, when asked what Joe’s reactionwould have been to the café. “I think he’slooking down right now, and he’s veryhappy to see this come to fruition. I mean,I see my son. You may not see him, but Isee him looking at me, smiling. It’s beensix months and five days since he went toheaven.”
To employ those with different abilities,Chung said he’s worked with the agen-cy posAbilities, which assists those withdevelopmental disabilities “by partneringwith the community to provide a compre-hensive range of person-centred servicesfor individuals and the families who carefor them,” according to the agency’s web-
site, www.posAbilities.ca.Along with posAbilities, Joe’s Table
will also find employees through BethesdaParents’ Society, which was founded byChung’s wife, Stephanie.
“Generally, kids with autism, they’renot aware of their surroundings,” he said.“So the one, we found, who suffers a lotis not really the kid, but is the mother andfather. The parents. So my wife started thisBethesda group for mothers with childrenwith different abilities (10 years ago).”
The idea for the café started in January2012, but plans were tragically interruptedwhen Joseph died from complications aftersuffering a seizure while swimming.
“We’ve been planning this before myson went to heaven,” he said. “I never
thought that this would bein his memory. We thoughthe’d be working here, stand-ing here greeting people.”
Chung said it’s been dif-ficult to complete the projectwithout his son, Joe.
“You’ll do anything foryour children,” he said. “Itis really hard to accept in thebeginning.”
Joe was three years oldwhen his parents took himto the doctor for tests. Theydiscovered he had autism andalso suffered from epilepsy.
“That was a shock to us,”Chung said. “It took a longtime for us to get over that.”
As a Christian fam-ily, Chung said he and his wife dedicatedJoseph, the eldest of their four other chil-dren, when he was born to become a mis-sionary.
He said they were devastated whentheir dreams of Joseph being a missionaryended when he was diagnosed.
“And then later on, we realized he’s amissionary to our family,” Chung said.“If I didn’t have Joseph, I wouldn’t knowanything about autism. I wouldn’t knowanything about kids with epilepsy. Norwould I have the understanding of whatthe parents go through.
“I figured God sent him to our family.He’s teaching us to care for other people,not just people in the mainstream, butpeople who have needs.”
The café will employ about 20 peopleand 10 to 20 per cent of the staff will have
different abilities, according to Chung.“They’ll be making waffles, making cof-
fees,” he said. “The kind of coffee machinewe have is very automated. Autistic chil-dren (are) very good at repetition.”
The café offers an assortment of differ-ent drinks and desserts, which are madeby the seniors of a seniors’ home in Surrey,which Chung owns.
There’s also a spot along the windowsdedicated for community members to sitand speak with one another, just as Josephwould have done.
“When people come for sympathy, itdoesn’t last too long. I want them to comefor value,” Chung said. “I want them tosay, ‘this is great coffee.’ We want to showthem that people with different abilitiescan make good coffee too.”
Although Joseph won’t be a physi-cal part of the café as he was originallyintended to be, Chung says his spirit liveson through their shop. He intends to openmore locations throughout the LowerMainland.
Chung recalled a memory of his lateson when the family attended an event for
the non-profit organization, Communityof Hope.
“And my son was missing,” Chungsaid. “So, we were looking for him and hewas talking to a homeless guy sitting in thecorner. He was telling him, ‘Hi, my nameis Joseph. What is your name?’
“This guy just got startled … he waslooking at him and Joseph kept insistingfor his name, and that brought a big smileon the guy. That’s a great way of showingsome love in this world.”
Joe’s Table is also looking for artistswith different abilities to exhibit their workat a dedicated gallery space in the café. Formore information, contact Yul Kim at [email protected].
“Maybe that was the work he had todo while he’s on this Earth,” Chung said.“Just to set up something like this, maybewe could help people with different abili-ties.”
‘HI, HOW ARE YOU? MY NAME IS JOSEPH. WHAT IS YOUR NAME?’
Joe’s Table – a dad’s dream for his son
“I think he’slooking downright now, andhe’s very happyto see this cometo fruition… It’sbeen six monthsand five dayssince he went toheaven.”PETER CHUNGJoseph’s father

Product Hailed by Doctors as the Solution for Back PainBy Marc CharronHealth and Lifestyle
Back pain affects 8 out of 10 people. It can also rob youof your happiness, where getting out of bed becomes apainful reminder of your bad back. While pills providetemporary relief, the condition can reoccur, because pillsmask the symptoms and do not target the cause of the pain.Other treatments cost thousands of dollars or havesubstantial health risks. “That’s why most people end up“living” with their bad back,” says Dr. Michael Ho.
Dr. Michael Ho is a doctor with over 20 years of clinicalexperience specializing in treating the cause of chronic backpain, including Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatic NervePain, Scoliosis, Spinal Stenosis and Herniated / Bulgingdiscs. His belief is to treat the cause of the problem so thatpatients get long term relief, earning him internationalrecognition for his patient care and expertise.
“Many people have back pain due to spinal disccompression. This can result in back pain, which if leftuntreated, can lead to more serious conditions.”
Dr. Ho has developed a back supporting decompressionbelt that can be used at home, allowing you to help relieveyour back pain, while saving time and money.
Dr. Ho’s brand new Decompression Belt is endorsed bymedical professionals and customers that have sufferedwith long-term, chronic back pain.
"I have used many modalities to treat my patients, butnothing is as effective as the decompression belt. Toeffectively treat someone with back pain, the patient mustreceive treatment everyday for 6 - 8 weeks. People cannotafford the time or money to visit the doctor everyday. Ideveloped this belt because patients need a device they can
use at home,” says Dr. Ho.
Dr. Ho’s Decompression Belt expands to help decompressthe spine to provide support and help relieve the pain.The belt will help relieve your pain in as little as 20minutes, even if you’ve suffered with back pain for manyyears. And you can even wear the belt while doingactivities.

Dear Tom and Ray:I have an issue. OK, not
so much an issue, more of anargument between me andmy fiancé.
I just bought a 2008Dodge Caliber. My new toyhas everything I love, includ-
ing cruise control. I do a lotof highway travelling, and Ilove my cruise control.
My fiancé says it’s nogood that I use cruise controlall the time, and that it’s badfor the engine or transmis-sion.
Is he right? Is using mycruise control too often badfor my car – will I break mycruise control if I use it toomuch?
If so, why, and whenshould one use cruise con-trol? Love you guys!
– SaraRAY: If you think of theengagement period as a
sort of test drive, Sara,your fiancé just backedinto a tree.TOM: He doesn’t havehalf a leg to stand on here.Using the cruise controlwon’t wear anything out.
In fact, because it helpsyou maintain a constantspeed, it actually preventsa certain amount of wearand tear that comes fromaccelerating and decelerat-ing more frequently.RAY: The engine andtransmission couldn’t careless whether the electronicinputs are coming fromyour right foot or the
cruise control system. Andneither should your fiancé.
So tell him if he doesn’toffer more fact-basedadvice in the future, he’sgoing to lose his maleautomotive-pontificatingprivileges for the durationof the marriage.TOM: Plus, highway driv-ing is exactly the time youDO want to use cruisecontrol – when you’remaintaining a constantspeed for a long period oftime, when traffic is thinand moving predictably,and when there are fewunexpected obstacles that
get in your way (like ped-estrians, bicyclists, cross-ing traffic or aggressivesqueegee guys.)RAY: The time you don’twant to use cruise controlis in dense traffic, or instop-and-go traffic, whereyou could be expected tohave to slow down or stopfrequently or unexpected-ly. But even that’s a safetyissue, not a wear-and-tearissue.TOM: Right. In the olddays, the cruise controlused a separate cable thatphysically moved thethrottle. So there were a
few small parts that couldwear out over time backthen. But cars don’t havethrottle cables anymore.Everything’s done elec-tronically, through thecomputer. So there’s noth-ing to wear out, Sara.RAY: So, suggest that thefuture hubby concededefeat on this one. And ifhe tries to argue he’s stillright because you’re goingto use up your lifetimeallotment of electrons, run.

Beautiful vehicle linescan be ruined bythree things, in my
That last one is make orbreak for me, actually. Thewheels have to be the rightdesign, finished properlyand sized right for thevehicle. And that usuallymeans bigger is better.
It sounds great and all,but is there a downside?Well, only if you’re blind-ed by the bling.
There are about 250separate and distinctvehicle models out there.
Now, each of those250 models arrives in anaverage of about threetrim levels, for a total ofabout 750. And, each ofthose trim levels is usuallyoffered with its very ownset of specific wheels andtires.
The average wheeldiameter is in the 17-inchrange. It many cases you’llsee 18- and 19-inch wheels.All that shiny metal surefills out the wheel wells.Ask anyone: the bigger thewheels, the more we wantthem.
So, now that you havethem, there’s a little mathto consider: the replace-ment price for those big-diameter low-profile tires.Just so you know, thesearen’t $79 each, the price
you might have paid 10years ago to refit yourCorolla. No, triple orquadruple that and youmight be closer.
Tires specifically sizedand designed for a given
vehicle are even more.It gets even weirder
when your car has dif-ferent tire sizes front andback and they happento be directional (theycan then only be rotated
side-to-side and must beremoved from the wheelsto do so). In extreme cases,each tire is a separate partnumber for the car.
Then, of course, there’sliving with those beauti-
ful and bigger wheels andtires.
Living with them, youask?
Driving a car with extrabig wheels and low-profiletires requires a totally new
respect for the road, as inevery pothole, every pieceof broken pavement andbridge expansion joint.
Your first realization ofthis comes rather quickly

Rims: Can be worth extra expenseonce you’re parked on the side of the roadwith a bent (or broken) rim and a flat tireto match.
Yes, that short sidewallheight doesn’t provide muchcushion from poorly main-tained/abused roads.
It’s difficult enough navi-gating busy traffic withouthaving to worry about everylittle crack in the road.
The next surprise is thewear. It’s unlikely that you’llget 70,000 kilometres – oreven 30,000 kilometres – outof a set of high-performancelow-profile tires. The reasonis that the rubber is softer sothey grip better. But, as you’realready surmising, softer rub-ber scuffs off the tire quicker.
Why do tires that costtwice as much last half aslong? Because, of course, you’re not buy-ing durability, you’re buying performanceand when it comes to tires – with very fewexceptions – one is given as a direct trade-off for the other.
Be sure to check the tread-wear ratingof those big tires, otherwise you might endup with an equally big surprise (four new19-inch tires) well before you expect it.
The last piece of math involves fore-sight, as in a lack of it will always cost youmore.
If you live in a climate where it snowseven one day of the year, and you orderthe big wheels and the accompanying“performance” tires (which roughly trans-lated means “summer” tires), it will most
likely be suggested that youpurchase a second set of win-ter-specific tires. Wide summertires and even a skiff of snowcan be a lethal combination, sobe sure to check what you’regetting into.
Cosmetically, if you livein a salt-/rust-belt area, thosebeautiful chrome wheels won’tlook that way in the spring.
Buying a set of black steelwheels to affix the new wintertires is a good idea, but, cha-ching, part of the additionalexpense associated with theextra expense of owning a setof big, beautiful wheels.
This column is not a knockagainst them. Most would
agree that a crummy (small) set of wheelscan wreck the look of an otherwise beauti-ful car as much as a good (big) set ofwheels can make it. There’s just a littlemath you need be aware of before divingin.

Listen to your body to strike healthy balance
Some parents don’tlisten to their chil-dren unless they’re
misbehaving, but wiseparents are proactive andinvolved; they know whattheir kids are up to, espe-cially when they’re quiet.
This is something we allknow, but when we’re put-ting out fires at work, wemay neglect other import-ant areas of our lives.
Our personal health isone of those areas.
A lot of people don’tthink about their healthuntil something goeswrong. Even then, theymay neglect the body’smessages: poor sleep,chronic tiredness, naggingaches and changes in thebodily functions they takefor granted.
But health isn’t definedas the absence of diseaseand good health care isnot just the treatment ofillness.
I define health as theoptimal balance of theimportant areas of yourlife and achieving yourpositive potential in eachof those areas.
Just as your organ-ization has mission andvision statements, I believeeach of us should have apersonal mission statementand a vision that servesas a compass. By look-ing at our compass as wego about our daily lives– rather than when we’realready lost – we are morelikely to stay on track.
My personal missionis to achieve my positivepotential in life and tohelp others achieve theirs.At work, I try to do morethan solve each patient’slist of medical problems. Iseek to see the whole per-son, their challenges in thecontext of their emotional,physical and social health,
and to help them achievetheir personal goals.
But few of us willachieve our goals unlesswe articulate them.
Each day, I look at mymandala – a large circlewith 10 smaller spheresaround its perimeter. Eachof the spheres representsan important area of mylife: my family, mentalwell-being, emotionalhealth, rest and play,spiritual health, socialhealth, physical well-being, work, financialwell-being and environ-mental health.
Each day, I take amoment to consider justtwo of those spheres. OnMonday I may think about
my family and social life. Ihave chosen three or fourgoals for each sphere, andI use them as guideposts.
My goals for my fam-ily are to spend enoughtime and attention withmy spouse and children, tonurture each relationshipand to maintain a lovingand supportive home.
To attend to your healthand to find balance in yourlife, you can’t afford towait until your next vaca-tion or serious illness. Youcan’t wait for a quietertime to start eating health-ier meals, catching up onsleep, cutting down onalcohol, quitting smokingor starting an exercise pro-gram. You have to recog-
nize the priorities in yourlife and add them to yourschedule until healthierliving becomes a routine.
I get to bed by 9:30 p.m.to wake up each day at 5a.m. I’ll swim 80 lengths atthe pool and be back homein time to have breakfastwith my family and drivemy daughter to school.
During a busy day, Ischedule time for a healthylunch and a shorter restbreak during the morningand the afternoon.
A healthy life balancedoesn’t come naturally.Our lives are in constantmotion and change isinevitable, but to be at ourbest we should strive forthat dynamic balance.

The Northwest Giants were onegoal and mere seconds away froma possible berth at the Telus Cup.
But chance proved not to bethe friend of the six-time majormidget champions following a 3-2 loss to the Red Deer OptimistChiefs at the Burnaby Winter Clubon Sunday.
The Chiefs came back from a4-3 overtime loss in the openinggame of the best-of-three Pacificregional championship series andthen forced a Game 3 tiebreakerwith a 3-2 win in double overtimeat the winter club on Saturday.
“I’m disappointed. We workedso hard for it all year and wejust came up short,” said NewWestminster forward Brandon Del
Grosso, who backhanded a shoton goal in the final seconds thatAnthony Conti banged at repeat-edly but could not get by Albertakeeper Matt Zentner.
The regional win wasthe third in four yearsfor the Red Deer squad.The Giants defeated theAlberta champs in twostraight games in 2011.
Del Grosso scored theOT winner from SamCurleigh on Friday nightafter the Giants scoredthree third-period mark-ers.
On Saturday, Conti forced extratime with a late third-period coun-ter, tying the contest 3-3 despitethe Giants being outshot by a 47-20 margin in the game.
Liam Smith of Burnaby could
not be faulted on the game-winnerby Ryker Leer, who spun aroundin the faceoff circle and wristed ahigh shot by the screened 17-year-old goalie.
Jackson Cressey struckfirst for the Giants in theSunday decider, but RedDeer equalized later in thefirst period on Smith, whogot his second straightstart in goal.
The Chiefs then took a2-1 lead in the final sec-onds of the middle framewhen a defensive turnover
led to a shot by Red Deer callupChase Olson that glanced off thestick of a Giants defenceman andinto an open net.
In the final period, the Giantsshowed the heart they’ve dis-played all season, tying the score
early on a tap-in by David Begertfollowing a pass through thecrease by Major Kaila.
Red Deer got the go-aheadmarker midway through the thirdon a deflected shot from the pointfrom Jordan Steenbergen.
“Everyone battled their headsoff. It all came down to a coupleof bounces,” said Smith after thegame. “It was so close.
“I’m overwhelmed. It’s justhard to believe (it’s over). Webattled so hard, as hard as wecould, and it came down to thelittle things – one bad bounce andthat was it.”
First-year head coach ClintThornton said it was an “emo-tional time. “

Rachel Gauthier ofLangley and first team all-star Arisa Cadeau of Deltachipped in with four andthree points, respectively.
“It was just like, ‘Wow,we actually did this.’ Whatwe worked for all yearcame down to this,” saidValancius, who was hon-oured as the team’s flagbearer at the event. “A lotof the girls were crying. Itwas thrilling.”
In the semifinals, B.C.avenged its only otherdefeat, beating Ontario

Earlier in the round-robin championship,B.C.’s only losses were a4-3 overtime loss to Striveon April 1 and a 4-2 defeatat the hands of Guelph the
following day.The loss to Strive was
the second this season forthe Lower Mainland girls.
“We were prettybummed about it because
we lost to them in (at anearlier tournament) inOttawa. When we did lose,we didn’t know how therest of the tournament wasgoing to go,” Valanciussaid, adding the teamquestioned whether theywanted to win as much asthey said they did.
The girls decided to dosome soul searching andgot together before eachgame – kept positive andresolved to stick with theirchecks. It worked.
