Burnaby Now November 21 2014

It was a tense Thursday morning onBurnaby Mountain, as RCMP arrested atleast a dozen anti-pipeline protesters.

Police cordoned off sections ofCentennial Way, where protesters set upa barricaded camp, and anyone caughtinside the yellow tape was subject toarrest.

The people were arrested for defyinga B.C. Supreme Court injunction ban-ning the protesters from interfering withKinder Morgans survey work for a newpipeline route. Some have been releasedalready.

Its a very emotional event, and Irespect the people who have decided tocommit civil disobedience, said AlanDutton fromBurnabyResidentsOpposingKinder Morgan Expansion. Dutton wasalso one of the five protesters namedin the court injunction. Weve advisedpeople to respect the law and allow thecourt process to continue to see what theresolution will be.

Dutton said it will be difficult forpolice to clear the area as more peopleconvene on the mountain.

There are a lot of people coming intothis area, and the longer it takes, the morepeople are going to be here and the morepeaceful it will become because there aremore people to witness whats going on,Dutton said. I anticipate this is going tocontinue, and this is going to be a long,long struggle.

Burnaby resident Ruth Walmsley sleptin the park overnight and was on thescene when a large number of police offi-cers showed up and read the injunction tothose in the camp area.

A number of protesters locked arms

and refused to get off of the premises,she told the NOW.

Police were also dealing with protest-ers at a clearing in the woods at anoth-er spot where Kinder Morgan needs todrill for soil samples. Vancouver residentAdam Bognar was one of three peoplewho camped overnight in the clearing,which is about a five-minute hike fromCentennial Way

There have been no arrests made yet(in the woods), he told the NOW.

Police arrived as Bognar and two oth-

ers were waking up, still in their sleepingbags.

They came in, in a line, and set up aperimeter and made us move outside ofit to not be arrested, Bognar said. Theysaid this is in the injunction perimeter, since then its grown three times that size,and its just been on (a) whim.

At press time, Bognar was outsidethe cordoned-off area, documenting thescene. He also reported that one manchained his neck to a tree, about 25 feetfrom the ground, and two police officers

were up the tree with bolt cutters tryingto remove him. The RCMPs aerial extrac-tion team removed the man and arrestedhim.

One of the more intense and emotionalmoments was when Clarrisa Antone fromthe Squamish Indian Band arrived onthe scene singing and drumming. As thecrowd began to sing along with her, shemarched right under the yellow policetape into the protesters camp as RCMP

The film industry has changed a lot forbetter and for worse in the last four decades.Just ask Paul Pincott.

The longtime owner of Can Am Importiqueis parting with hundreds of film props thathes accumulated over 38 years. Everythingfrom a Wheel of Fortune wheel to a statue ofAbraham Lincoln to a massive portrait of KimJong-il will be going up for auction over thecourse of two days.

Im pretty heartbroken, said Pincott. Idont want to close, but unfortunately, I lost atenant a little over two years ago.

Pincott noted hes been paying for theentirety of his large North Burnaby ware-house, despite a lengthy search for someonewith whom to share the building. He said a

few prospective tenants fell through, and hejust cant afford to keep the prop rental busi-ness going.

Its just killing me, the rent its so highhere, and the film industry is just going upand down like a yo-yo, he said. It just got tothe point where it was an economic hardshipand necessity to shut it down.

The warehouse is packed with all kinds ofitems: totem poles, treasure chests, bar stools,outdated televisions and oversized Christmasornaments fit for Paul Bunyan. However,some items arent for sale, as theyve beencommitted to some productions.

Able Auctions will be on site this Thursdayand Friday to sell off as many items as pos-sible. Those who cant make it to the live auc-tion can register at the auction houses websiteand bid online.

Out of everything hes collected over his

career, Pincott said the item hell miss themost is the coffin used by Ashley Judd in the1999 thriller Double Jeopardy.

Ive always said over the years, if I evershut this place down, Im going down withAshley Judd in that coffin, he said with achuckle. But its going in the auction withor without me.

Nonetheless, Pincott said it will be goodfor him to take some time off and recharge hisbatteries. But dont think hes out of the indus-try for good in the new year, hes going tostart seriously looking for an investor to stayin film.

Im going to absolutely miss the business its all I know and its all Ive done, he said.Im really hoping I can find someone withsimilar interests and start something up in thenear future.

But for now, Ive got to let it go.

The Burnaby ChristmasBureaus pancake breakfast fund-raiser is becoming a yearly tradi-tion in the city.

The third annual BurnabyChristmas Angel Breakfast andToy Drive takes place Tuesday,Nov. 25 at the Hilton VancouverMetrotown.

This is quickly becoming anannual tradition, part of the cel-

ebration of families for the holi-days, said Stephen DSouza,executive director at BurnabyCommunity Services, which facil-itates the bureau.

From 6 to 10 a.m., people canbring a new, unwrapped gift or

cash in exchange for a pancakebreakfast, courtesy of the Burnabyfirefighters. There is also a take-away continental breakfast optionfor people who may be in a hurryand on their way to work.

Burnaby NOW Friday, November 21, 2014 3


The event featured entertainers Jim Byrnes and AJWoodworth. The toys and cash go towards the BurnabyChristmas Bureau, which makes sure local, low-incomefamilies have enough food and gifts for the holidays.

Burnaby firefighters, Scotiabank and a number of dif-ferent sponsors started the pancake breakfast three yearsago, DSouza said. Last years event drew hundreds ofattendees and pulled in $5,000 and a truckload of toys.

But thats not the only Christmas Bureau event onNov. 25. Later that evening, at the same location, BurnabyCommunity Services is hosting Fill A Stocking, Fulfill AWish, a fundraiser with food, auction items and entertain-ment, from 6 to 10 p.m.

Its really just an opportunity for the community tocome together in a different way, DSouza said. Its away to really start off the holiday season.

The Hilton Vancouver Metrotown is at 6083 McKayAve.

looked on. Bypress timeThursday, onlyAntoneand another indigenous woman were allowedto stay inside the camp, where a sacred fireis burning.

Theres been a call out for more protestersto convene on the mountain, and many morearrived Thursday morning, as word spread ofthe arrests. People from the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish First Nations werereportedly on their way at press time, althoughthis is not confirmed.

Kinder Morgan had no comments or state-ment formedia Thursdaymorning and referredthe NOW to the RCMP. Theres still no wordas to when the company will resume work,although the plan is for police to secure thearea so company crews can finish the surveysafely.

A spokesperson for the protesters said 12were arrested and six were already released.

Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt.-Major John Buisput the figure at 14, but the number is fluid,

because some protesters are being released ifthey agree to appear in court and not return tothe protest site. Seven have been released.

We will secure the site, he told the NOW.As for the remaining women inside the

camp, Buis said RCMP were working on that.Im not sure how thats going to play out.

All the people have to move eventually, and weare negotiating that now with them, he said,adding the discussion centres around possiblymoving the fire.

Its still not clear who will remove the pro-testers barricaded camp from the mountain.

Thats something being discussed, saidAli Hounsell, a spokesperson for the TransMountain expansion project. Hounsell saidthere was no further information to report.Kinder Morgan is waiting for police to makethe area safe for the companys survey crews.

Our crews are on standby ready to work,she added.

Ageism can take manyforms. However, like anydiscrimination, it has, atits core, a desire to stereotypean entire group of people. Lastmonth we celebrated the UnitedNations International Day ofthe Older Person. This yearstheme, Leaving No One Behind:Promoting a Society for All,should be a reminderto practise inclusion byresisting the tempta-tion to stereotype any-one, including seniors.

To this end, there has beenmuch discussion in the mediarecently about the increasedand relative affluence of sen-iors. Some, such as MacleansMagazine have baited divisive-ness with the headline Old.Rich. Spoiled.

Throughout the various arti-cles and headlines of late, I havestruggled to find the voice ofactual seniors reflected. What Ihave found instead is incompleteinformation that has resulted ina misrepresentation of the eco-nomic plight of many seniors.

Statistics Canada pegs the2011 median income for thoseover 65 at $23,700. This meansthat 50 per cent of seniors inCanada are living on less than$23,700 per year, with the major-ity living alone. Compare thisto the median income for 35- to44-year-olds at $43,300 with theoverwhelming majority livingin a two-person household shar-ing costs that are often borne by

the single senior. Here in BritishColumbia alone, we have over52,000 seniors who are living on$16,300 per year or less.

While it is true that some low-income seniors live in a homewith no mortgage, they stillface property tax, insurance andmaintenance and repair costs, allon a fixed income that is often

not guaranteed tokeep pace with infla-tion.

Their equity insome cases has either

been borrowed against or is aninsurance policy for future carecosts. Additionally, lets notforget the 20 per cent of seniorhouseholds that are renting andface annual increases against anoften stagnant income. Seniorsface health-care costs related todrugs, mobility aids, dental care,eyeglasses and hearing aids,with no workplace benefit plansto defray costs.

Householders today areenjoying record low interestrates. While this is a boon forsome homeowners, it can be ahardship for the overwhelmingmajority of seniors, who do notreceive a defined benefit pen-sion plan and must producean adequate retirement incomefrom savings and investments.

It is important to rememberthat, whatever wealth seniorsmight have (outside of their pri-mary residence) they are usuallyrequired to produce an income

Sober second look needed in this situationAs we write this editorial, RCMP offi-

cers are arresting protesters on BurnabyMountain. The protesters have beeninvolved in a standoff with KinderMorgan and the companys workers forthe past several weeks.

Kinder Morgan wants totake soil samples and do someengineering tests to see ifits planned twinning of theoil pipeline could be built through themountain. The protesters are trying tostop or at least stall the company.

The city is still fighting the company

in Canadas courts. The land KinderMorgan wants to build on has beendesignated a conservation and parkarea. It is not a vacant industrial lot. It isBurnaby city land, and one might thinkthat Burnaby would have some say in

the matter. But thats not whatthe law allows, according to theNational Energy Board. Thelaw apparently allows oil com-

panies to pretty much do anything theywant.

Well, as Charles Dickens wrote inOliver Twist, The law is an arse.

Burnaby residents, and Canadians ingeneral, are a polite group. Civil disobe-dience is not the first thing they planwhen faced with government actions theydont agree with. First they try the law,then they try online petitions, then theyget their pup tents and hold sing-alongprotests with big signs. It is certainly onlyas a last resort that folks chain themselvesto trees and get thrown behind bars.

So the government and the NEBshould take a much-needed sober secondlook at this situation.

This is not a protest that is happen-

ing in the 1960s deep in the woods. Thisis a protest that is driven by legitimateconcerns about oil tanker traffic in a nar-row inlet. It is a protest with legitimateconcerns about what would happen when(not if) an earthquake hits. It is a protestframed by legitimate concerns about landrights. It is a protest supported by manyaverage citizens who were very reluc-tant to step out of their comfort zones andrisk jail. It is a protest that is founded onprinciples that cannot be ignored. Thelaw may indeed be an arse, but we stillbelieve in basic principles of justice.

Not all seniors arecreated equal

Flash of intelligence for trusteesDear Editor:

Re: Burnaby School District eyes newmarkets forinternational program, Burnaby NOW online.

This is surely a new speed record. BurnabyCitizens Association trustees take up the BurnabyFirst Coalitionss idea to raise revenue to fill districttreasurer Greg Franks forecast $4.5-million deficitand avoid staff cuts next spring. And the electionwas just four days ago!

I thank the BCA for unambiguously endors-ing this idea. It is a rare flash of intelligence amidoutrageous (now debunked) rumours about BFCcampaign tactics and misrepresentation of BFC can-didate views.

As long as the BCA lack ideas of their own, theyare welcome to advance ours. However, in their

rush to embrace proper economics, they appear toforget who just returned them to office: taxpayingparents. BCA trustees also ought to take up this partof the BFC plan and talk to all local parents beforerushing abroad.

The district is a public institution. It is supposedto serve all taxpayers including parents of those7,000 local children not now enrolled in a Burnabyschool. These families deserve more than lip-ser-vice; they pay school taxes too.

At a per-capita allotment of $7,000 per child,there are potentially $49 million annual budget dol-lars here (7,000 children X $7,000 per child.) Talkingto these parents about changes in policy, procedureand programming that might attract their childrento a district school does not even require payingtravel expenses.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why then is the priority to travel abroadto seek students?

Is the travel itself the reason? Or hasthis more to do with BCA unwillingnessto abandon their increasingly bankruptideology about what constitutes publiceducation in a globalized and competitivemarketplace?

I have just spent six months talking toparents at doorsteps, forums and all-can-didate meetings. The consensus view isthat trustees should focus on determiningwhat services local parents want from theirtax dollars. If current trustees look first toserving all 30,000 resident Burnaby schoolchildren, they can fill partially empty build-ings, improve operating economics, andessentially head off staffing cuts for theforeseeable future.

And that should happen before seekingrevenue outside Canada.

The top reasons I hear parents tellingme that they use to choose schools include:dedicated teachers, strong academic quali-ty, student encouragement and safety. Theyalso look to schools that enable their sonsand daughters to become fully engagedin academics and extracurricular activities,helping them to discover their abilities andexcel in post-secondary career choices.

If the BCA trustees are prepared toacknowledge the truth about the BFC planfor targeting revenue growth includingreaching out for additional local publicschool tax dollars, then perhaps they arealso prepared to talk to Burnaby parentswhose children are not enrolled in publicschools.

First focus on serving all the parentswho cover your paycheques and elect youto office.

Then, if there is still room left to fill in aBurnaby public school, go abroad lookingfor more students.

B.C. needs its resourcesDear Editor:

I always knew the Port of Vancouverwas important to the Canadian and BritishColumbian economies, but I was astoundedto read that it enables $184 billion in tradein goods and natural resources annually.Back in the days of the gold rush, when itall began, who could have imagined thatastounding figure. A century later, ourprovincial economy still relies heavily onnatural resources and in particular the min-ing industry.

The mining industry is one of the foun-dations of our economy and a valuable con-tributor to the bottom line of the provincialgovernment and even many municipal-ity bottom lines. Unfortunately, there aresome who want to kick the foundationsof our economy out from underneath us.They want to shut down our port andshut down our mines, which would shutdown our province and severely hobble oureconomy.

These misguided souls seem to the thinkthat an economy can run on thin air andgreen vibrations alone. Well, it cant. Aneconomy needs something real to hang itshat on. And in British Columbia it is ournatural resources like gold, copper andeven coal that pay the bills. These mis-guided people are living in a dream world:Without the tangible goods and resourcesproduced through the hardwork and enter-prise of others they would not be living thecomfortable, relatively easy lives they live.

All British Columbians depend onthe resources of our province, urban andrural alike, and making the most of thoseresources requires that we have a portthrough which these valuable products canbe shipped to global markets.

So, let this be a reality check and a wake-up call to all those who feel we can riskshutting down our resource industries. Wecant.

Erik Nummela, Burnaby


Why not look at Burnaby?

from it, unlike people whoreceive their income fromemployment and can allowtheir wealth to compound.

The issue of the lowincome and poverty ofsome seniors is only onepart of the picture. Seniorsalso make significant con-tributions to our commun-ities and our health-caresystem.

We know that the great-est amount of volunteeringis done by seniors.

More significantly,perhaps, is the millionsof hours of care that isprovided every year inthis country by seniors totheir spouses and, in somecases, their parents.

If seniors didnt step upeach and every day to theneeds of their commun-ity, the cost to all levelsof government would bestaggering. The contribu-tion of unpaid caregivers

over 65 alone is an esti-mated $4-billion savings tothe Canadian health-caresystem.

In addition to theircontributions of unpaidlabour, seniors also con-tribute to the costs of theircare. In B.C., seniors pay:80 per cent of their incometoward the cost of residen-tial care to a maximum of$3,092.66; 70 per cent oftheir income toward thecost of government-subsid-ized assisted living witha maximum that variesaccording to local marketconditions; and they co-pay the costs of their homesupport on a sliding scalebased on income.

While it may be fair toquestion whether a minor-ity of higher-income sen-iors should benefit fromthe caps, it is also veryevident that the majorityof seniors are surrender-ing significant amounts of

their income to subsidizetheir care needs.

The seniors of today,like the seniors of tomor-row, are unique individ-uals.

Some have money;some do not. Some havegood health; some do not.Some contribute to theircommunity; others lessso. Some need our help;others do not.

What is most import-ant is that we value theuniqueness of seniors justas we do those who arenot yet 65 and in so doing,ensure we leave no onebehind and create a societyfor all.

As Canada celebrates InternationalEducation Week Nov. 17 to 21, the Burnabyschool district is looking to expand itsgrowing international program into newmarkets.

The district runs the third largest pro-gram in the province, with 1,049 studentsexpected to generate more than $14 millionthis year an increase of nearly $6 millionsince five years ago.

The budget for the program is $8.7 mil-lion.

But international education is a competi-tive business worldwide.

Weve got a really strong programand were always looking at ways we canstrengthen it, assistant superintendentHeather Hart told the NOW.

Toward that end, the district struck anad hoc international education committeethis fall to look into different possibilitiesfor the program, both at home and abroad.

Thirty-one countries are represented inBurnabys international student population,with most (about 70 per cent) coming fromAsia, notably China, Korea and Japan.

Europe andLatinAmerican each accountfor about 15 per cent, and the Middle Eastfor another small handful.

To prevent recruiters from other pro-grams around the world from swoopinginto their markets, local international edu-cation officials like to keep more specificdata about numbers and countries close totheir vests.

This year, however, they have said they

will ramp up their efforts in two countries:Indonesia and Russia, according to a reportto the school board last month.

Each year we have Indonesian stu-dents and Russian students enrolling, andtheyve done really well in our program,so, of course, we would like to expand thenumber of students studying with us fromthose countries, international educationmanager Angela Ferraro explained.

The plans for Russia have yet to befinalized, but for the first time ever, SchoolDistrict No. 41 will send a representativeto Indonesia this year to participate in aneducation event hosted by the Canadianembassy. The district sends recruiters onsimilar trips around the world about six to10 times a year, according to Hart.

Word of mouth is another way the dis-trict draws students.

We have a really good track record,Hart said. Students go back to their home-land; they speak to their family and friends,and we get repeat business and new busi-ness from that.

The districts comprehensive interna-tional program website also attracts a lotof students.

But rather than focusing on numbersalone, Hart said the district works to drawfrom many different countries to create aglobal experience for all students in thedistrict.

It adds to that piece of diversity, Hartsaid. We learn from them as much as theylearn from us.

Thanks to our partners:

Burnaby Deer-Lake MLA KathyCorrigan is accusing the provinces healthminister of using weasel words whileanswering questions about aFraser Health decision to cut fluclinics at Burnaby senior centres.

The health authority cancelledits annual clinics at seniors cen-tres this year to focus resourceson children under five and onpeople who use nasal-spray fluvaccines two groups that cantbe served by pharmacies.

That move prompted com-plaints from a Burnaby seniorsadvocacy group, Voices ofBurnaby Seniors, who wrote aletter to Fraser Health interim board chairWynne Powell on Nov. 6, calling on him toreinstate the clinics.

Thehealthauthorityhasdirected seniorsto get shots at their doctors offices or localpharmacies, but the letter argues manyseniors dont have GPs, and pharmacies

may not provide a private, age-friendlyspace for the shots.

Because of transportation for seniors,which is really totally inadequate, manywont go now. Thats the problem, Voicesmember Elsie Dean told the NOW. It waseasy for seniors to get to their centre andget the flu shot.

Dean has gotten vaccinated at theConfederation seniors centreclinic for about eight years, butshe said she wouldnt get a shotif it meant waiting in a supermar-ket or drug store while shoppersstroll by.

I wouldnt do it, she said. Iwouldnt get a flu shot.

Brenda Felker, another Voicesmember, said shes done it butwont go back.

I wouldnt do that again,she said. I wouldnt sit in theSafeway like that. Youre sitting

in front of the pharmacy and people arelined up. I didnt enjoy the experience atall.

Fraser Health has said seniors cen-tres could bring in pharmacies to put onclinics in place of the Fraser Health-run

vaccinations, but Mary Horton,president of the Bonsor 55-plusSociety, said her centre hasalways avoided political andcorporate endorsements.

She also doubts the pharma-cies would provide the samelevel of service as Fraser Health.

A pharmacy is going to sendyou maybe two people at most,and then youre going to have along lineup, she said.

Horton said she was abso-lutely taken aback and sur-prised by Fraser Healths deci-sion to cut the clinics.

NDP opposition leader JohnHorgan questioned HealthMinister Terry Lake about thecancelled seniors clinics Tuesdayin the B.C. Legislature, and Lakeappeared to promise a reversalof Fraser Healths decision.

We will ensure that FraserHealth is doing clinics for seniorsfor influenza vaccine, Lake said

during question period.But in an email statement

Wednesday, Lake told theBurnaby NOW that Fraser Healthwould only reconsider co-ordi-nating flu clinics at centres thatdid not have access to nearbypharmacy-run clinics.

And, as of Wednesday, FraserHealth hadnt reinstated any ofthe cancelled seniors clinics.

For the moment, this has notbeen necessary, spokespersonTasleem Juma said.

Corrigan, who had takenLakes words in the Legislatureas a very, very clear reversaland an NDP victory, said shewas baffled that nothing hadchanged for Burnaby seniors.

I would say that the ministerwas using weasel words becausethat is not what we understoodfrom what he said, she said.

For 14 weeks, NOW healthreporter Cornelia Naylor has beenassigned to undertake a Fortiuschallenge, setting fitness and per-formance goals and experiencingfirst-hand the many ways Burnabys

Fortius Sport & Health can help.As a rehab project, the team will

zero in on a lingering shoulder inju-ry, but Naylor will also get a chanceto sample everything else Fortiushas to offer, from massage therapyto diet advice and from vision test-ing to a scientific analysis of herrunning gait.

Heres her fourth report:

Im back at the Fortius Sport &Health lab to find out wheth-er my running style might bebehind a certain cement-mixerfeeling in my hips.

Lab and applied biome-chanics director ChristopherMacLean greets me with aneight-page report and large, flat-screen TV projecting an imageof me running on a treadmill intight, high-waisted shorts.

The image and the data inthe report were captured a weekbefore.

I had come into the lab, andMacLean and biomechanistJessica Maurer had stuck reflec-tors on different parts of my feet,legs, knees and hips.

The lab-issued shorts (sotight, so high-waisted) hadensured the markers wouldntmove relative to the bone under-neath.

I had then run on a treadmillas four video and 10 motion-capture cameras recorded mymovements and a force platebuilt into the treadmill measuredmy footfalls.

We kind of look at the lowerextremity like its sandwichedbetween the ground and yourcentre of mass, which is in your

core, MacLean says during ourfollow-up interview.

Every time our feet hit theground, he explains, forces travelupward from the ground anddownward from our core.

At different phases of ourrunning gait, those forces cantotal two-and-a-half times ourbody weight, and our bodieshave to find ways to managethem by rotating in differentways and absorbing the force.

MacLeans job is to help

Reporter put on the treadmill, analyzed

ON MY BEATCornelia Naylor

Like many of the folks at Fortius Sport& Health, biomechanist ChristopherMacLeans passion for exercise sciencewas sparked by a sports injury.

I was a hockey player and I got hurt,MacLean told the NOW.

The quad contusion only took the youngMacLean out of the Acadia Universitylineup for three months, but the interest insports science has stuck.

The affable Nova Scotia native, knownaround Fortius as Mack, was alreadystudying sciences when he got hurt, andafter the injury he coupled that with exer-

cise science.He earned his masters degree in human

kinetics working with UBC sports medi-cine legendDr. Jack Taunton, and followedup with a PhD in biomechanics from theUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst.

He came to Fortius after 23 years in theprescription orthotics industry and time asdirector of biomechanics at Paris Orthoticsin Vancouver.

He had been approached in 2007 byco-founders Rick Celebrini and then-presi-dent of SportsMedBCLyndaCannell aboutdesigning the new Fortius lab.

The centres vision appealed to him atonce.

The dream has always been to try to

bridge what we typically do in university research, lab research, science withthe clinical aspect and the provision ofsport medicine, he said. We wanted tointegrate the two because so often youretucked away in a lab at university, andthe work product that comes out of thatlab may be published, but it may not actu-ally be entered into practice until 10 or 20years later. The dream here was to bring ittogether.

The dream has also been to make it allaccessible to the average Joe, somethingthe centres philanthropic model has madepossible.

The Fortius Foundation was created in2004 with a $23 million lead donation from

founder and chair Scott Cousens.That, along with other donations and

revenues from tenants in the Fortius build-ing, has allowed the centre to build state-of-the-art facilities, like the lab, and makethem available to the general public.

So, on any given day, MacLean mightbe working with the top marathoners andultramarathoners in Canada or with a 13-year-old soccer goaltender.

For Mack, thats as it should be.Its the same math; its the same meth-

ods, he said. Thats the cool part for mebecause I like taking what we use in sportand taking those attributes and applyingthem to all.

people manage and pre-vent injury by scouringdata from walking, run-ning and jumping analysesfor evidence of structuralweaknesses and maladap-tive movement patterns.

While Im running, forexample, MacLean says theangles between my femurand pelvis are greater allaround on my right sidecompared to my left.

That could mean muscleweakness, a lack of flex-ibility or just a troublesomequirk of my running style.

My hip-extension anglewhen I toe off, mean-while, is less than it shouldbe on both sides.

None of these thingsis visible to the humaneye, but they could bewhats behind the hip andknee pain, according toMacLean.

Five degrees can bequite clinically relevanthere because it can have ahuge effect on the forces,which is what were reallyinterested in because thatslikely what causes the inju-ries, he says.

His recommendationsinclude physio and workwith a strength and condi-tioning coach.

But theres anotherproblem with my runningthat I can start to fix on myown.

Like many recreationalrunners, my stride istoo long, according toMacLean, something thatstresses the knees and hips.

Rather than shorteningmy stride, however, he rec-ommends increasing run-ning cadence, somethingthat tends to cut down steplength naturally.

An optimal stride fre-

quency for distance runnersis about 180 steps per min-ute, MacLean says; mine isabout 160.

Narrowing that gap issimple: download a playl-ist of songs at 180 beats perminute and run to it.

Viola!After about six to eight

running sessions over atwo- to three-week period,MacLean predicts my bodywill adjust to its new run-ning rhythm.

Besides preventingfuture stress on my kneesand hips, he says thereis a chance it might evenaddress some of my currentissues without physio.

Ive seen some ofthese pelvic asymmetriesresolve just with increasedcadence, he says.

Running style, includingcadence, has long been onthe radar of elite runners,

many of whom come to theFortius lab to find ways tomanage injuries and opti-mize performance.

But recreational ath-letes have never had muchaccess to that know-howand technology.

Fortius is trying to turnthat around.

Because of the centresphilanthropic model,MacLean says his clientsnow include not only

elite athletes, but alsoordinary people, whosegoals range from runningthe Vancouver Sun Runto walking the dog threetimes a week.

Toward that end, thelab has kept the price of arunning analysis for Fortiusclients to $180 roughlythe price of a good runningshoe.

Disney has raisedgenerations ofwomen withpositive identification withprincesses and their sto-ries. Virtually every youngwoman I know has afavourite Disney princess.

Some may still dreamof the magic of true loveskiss.

Unrealistic expectationscan set us up for disap-

pointment. Falling in loveis like a psychosis thatprevents us from clearlyseeing the other as a realperson: qualities are exag-gerated and faults mini-mized.

In the grip of infatu-ation, we may not becapable of making rationaldecisions. When infatu-ation fades (as it alwaysdoes), many ask withsober reflection, Whatwas I thinking?

When the honeymoonends, we become disen-chanted, and happily everafter becomes work. Wecan start competing withone another and keepingtrack of what we compro-mise. In the ledger of what

we give and take from arelationship, we all lose.

To avoid disappoint-ment, should we give upthe search for the one truelove who is our perfectpartner and soul mate?

The love we seek is anemotional, spiritual andsocial ideal but is withinour reach. The love wehave sought from some-one else is what we mustnurture within our ownhearts. It is unconditionallove.

It is like a physiciansunconditional positiveregard for his patient,wherein the needs of thepatient take precedenceover those of the physi-cian. The well-being of the

other comes first.We are human and we

love imperfectly. Moreoften than not, our affec-tions for one another areconditional. If our partnersdisappoint and displeaseus, we hold back our love.We project our own ide-als and identity onto ourchildren and if they fail tolive to our standards andrules, they may feel welove them less.

Unconditional lovedoes not judge but eas-ily forgives. It is like abest friend who knowseverything about you butaccepts you and loves youanyway; who tells youwhat you need to know,sees the best in you and

pushes you to live yourpotential.

We are human and welove imperfectly, but wemust accept ourselves andthe love we have receivedas imperfect as it may be.Our world is not perfectbut there is still beauty init. We are not perfect butstill worthy of love.

By nurturing uncon-ditional love, we maylive more happily everafter, accepting ourselves,improving our relation-ships and becoming betterparents.

HASTINGS VETERINARY HOSPITALThe Hastings Veterinary Hospital hasbeen a leader in the veterinary field inBurnaby formore than a decade. Foundedin 2003, the veterinary clinic is ownedby two brothers, veterinarians, Dr. JangiBajwa and Dr. Amardeep Bajwa. Theirmandate is to provide the most sincereand compassionate veterinary carepossible.Hastings Veterinary Hospital iscommitted to setting the higheststandards of veterinary care and believesin educating pet parents during clientconsultations. Keeping appointmenttimes longer than the standard practiceof 15 minutes gives them the opportunityto get to know the pet better and beable to discuss in detail what would bethe best individualized care for eachpet. Animals have always been closeto humans but in this day and age, it isabout knowing how best you can takecare of companion pets. We are luckyto have their unconditional love and it isour responsibility as pet parents to do ourbest by them.Treatments are tailored for every familysspecific budgets and needs, while stillproviding valuable care. We do our bitin helping where we can when it comesto the cost of veterinary care. To ensurecomplete recoveries from illness, amajority of follow-up consultations areperformed at no cost Dr. Jangi Bajwasays.The veterinary hospital is definitelyfeline friendly, having recently expandedtheir space in order to open a dedicatedcat wing. Cats like their privacy and apeaceful environment, and many cats arenot exposed to the outside which causes

added stress during vet visits. Providingcats and kittens with the most relaxedveterinary visit is key. We set up aseparate cat waiting area and have movedthe cat boarding to the quietest part of thehospital. We urge cat parents to bringcats in for regular health checkups Dr.Jangi Bajwa adds.Dr. Jangi Bajwa is only one of two board-certified veterinary dermatologists in thelower mainland. He provides the highestpossible care for skin and ear problems,while offering video-otoscopy (detailed,thorough ear care) and skin allergytesting (with the gold standard test) to hispatients.TheHastingsVeterinary teamencouragestimely preventative vaccinations andservices include a prescription pharmacy,digital x-rays, ultrasound and dentistry.The broad range of services and makingpet parents a part of veterinary care helpsbuild invaluable long-term relationshipswithin the local community. His goalis for pets to be at their vigorous best.If you would like to visit the veterinaryhospital or cat boarding facilities, or tolearn more about pet-care please contactthe clinic at 604-291-6666.
