Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart has joined the long list of potential candidates declining to run for the leadership of the provincial New Democratic Party.

A media report Thursday said Stewart, a former political science professor at Simon Fraser University, decided against seeking to replace B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix, who resigned in September after the party failed to win the last provincial election in May 2013 when it was heavily favoured.

Stewart said his decision was based on talking to party activists who weren’t keen on having someone outside of the provincial party taking over.

Other B.C. MPs considered possibilities for the leadership that have already bowed out of the race include Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian, New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody MP Fin Donnelly, and Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen, who ran for the national NDP leadership losing out to Thomas Mulcair.

Jacqueline Shen isn’t old enough to vote. But she still wants to hold politicians accountable for the decisions they make that will affect the environment.

That’s why the Burnaby South Grade 12 student was amongst a group of 20 young people who met with Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan last week to urge him to stand up for the provincial government’s commitment made in 2007 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent by 2020.

Similar groups met with MLAs around the province as part of the Defend our Future campaign, a youth-led initiative aiming to draw attention to the threat that new fossil fuel development, like the expansion of B.C.’s natural gas industry, poses to those carbon emissions targets.

Shen admits climate change and greenhouses gases aren’t typical topics of conversation in the school cafeteria, but as she started educating herself about the issues that will affect her quality of life in the future, she found her friends

getting more interested.“The things we talk about may

seem more immediate,” she said. “But once a small group gets involved, others get curious.”

Social media like Twitter and Facebook were also a boon to mobilize interest said Shen, who even conducted an online orientation to share what she’d learned.

The delegation that visited Chouhan’s office included students from South, Burnaby North, Central, Moscrop and Alpha secondary schools. They all

canvassed their schools to collect names on a petition and presented Chouhan with a pledge to sign affirming his commitment to fight against climate change.

And that voice made an impression, said Chouhan.

“It gave me hope for our future,” said the NDP MLA who had no problem signing the students’ pledge. But to win their favour, and soon their votes, the politicians will have to turn their words into action, said Shen.

“They have a responsibility to carry through,” she said.

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.

Grandma and Grandpa, who better?

Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?

The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.

Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:

General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”

If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.

When Diana Klein broke into the construction industry more than 25 years ago, sustainability wasn’t even in the vocabulary of most engineers.

So she had to create her own opportunities, including founding Eco-Integration in 2006, a sustainable design consulting firm.

On Saturday, Klein and her colleague Fiona Zawadzki of the Green Bricks Education Society will be hosting the first Green Collar Futures career conference at the Hilton Metrotown to help guide young people into green jobs.

The conference, which is expected to attract more than 150 Grade 10-12 students from around the province, features

26 mentors from fields like environmental law, carbon accounting, hydrologists, energy modellers, mechanical engineers and architects, who will talk about their career paths, opportunities and field questions from small groups.

Klein said green jobs are a growing opportunity for young people to turn their passion for the environment into real solutions.

“There are a lot of students who are interested in sustainability,” said Klein, who predicts green jobs will double in the next 10 years. “They’re inspired to take action. They’re excited about the future.”

That future can include everything from designing environmentally friendly buildings, constructing green

roofs, engineering more efficient transportation systems, even building homes made of mud.

Klein said reaching students when they’re just starting to think about their career options is key. She and Zawadzki have plenty

of opportunity to tap into their zeitgeist through Green Bricks, which has been conducting school programs on sustainable land use and building targeted at Grade 10 students since 2007.

“The feedback we get is they

want to understand what sorts of careers are available to them that will combine their passion for the environment with what they want to do,” said Klein.

Participants in the seminar will also hear a keynote address given by Dr. Nicholas Coops, a professor in the Department of Forestry at UBC with a specialty in climate change, conservation and remote sensing and they’ll have a chance to talk with filmmakers behind Just Eat It, a new documentary about food waste.

There is no charge to attend the seminar thanks to financial support from BC Hydro, Fortis BC and the Vancouver Foundation. But spaces are filling fast, said Klein.

The son of a woman found stabbed to death in front of her Elwell Street home in August 2011 has been found not criminally responsible for his actions because of mental illness.

Benedict Bernabe Tomajin was charged with second degree murder in the death of his mother Josie Tomajin, who was 45 when she died.

But on Wednesday (Feb. 5) B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Bowden ruled Tomajin was too sick to have known what he was doing and won’t do time in jail for now.

He will be sent to Forensic Psychiatric Hospital for further assessment.

Depending on the results of that assessment, he could still face a trial.

Josie Tomajin came to Canada from the Philippines in 2002 to work as a nanny as part of a federal live-in program that allowed foreigners to work in Canada for two years to establish their residency.

An agency matched her with a Coquitlam family that was about to expand to five with the birth of twin sons.

Tomajin worked and lived with Craig Hodge and his partner Darla Furlani

and their three young children for three years.

“She was the one that taught me how to change diapers,” said Hodge, a Coquitlam city councillor who used to work as a photojournalist for Black Press, in 2011.

“She was the second mom to our kids.”

Tomajin had three children of her own back in the Philippines, and Hodge said she burned up the long distance phone lines calling them late at night.

“She missed them so much,” said Hodge.

When the residency program ended, Tomajin stayed in Canada and sought permanent employment.

Hodge, who stayed in touch with his former

nanny, said she regularly worked at least two jobs.

She also started the bureaucratic process to bring her family to Canada. That took four years and a toll on her marriage, which ended.

Hodge said Tomajin had found a new partner who helped her reunite her family.

“She was on her way to putting her life together for herself and for her family,” said Hodge.

KAREN MURTAGH/NEWSLEADERSpray from the fountain outside the Cactus Club at Market Crossing in Burnaby has created a beautiful winter show on nearby trees and shrubs last week.

Cities calling on Ottawa to create a nationwide planMario [email protected]

Burnaby is adding its voice to a chorus of more than 140 municipalities across Canada calling on the federal government to keep housing affordable.

At the Feb. 3 city council meeting, councillors passed a resolution supporting a campaign by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to get the federal government to work with provincial, territorial and municipal leaders to create a long term housing plan.

“This is quite urgent and attention needs to be paid at

the federal level,” said Colleen Jordan, the chair of the city’s community development committee.

Currently more than 68,000 households in British Columbia receive $170 million in housing subsidies every year.

Across the country, the subsidy totals $1.7 billion.

That money helps build affordable rental housing, support co-ops and other initiatives that can keep a roof over the heads of families struggling to

make ends meet.But many of those subsidies

are set to expire this year and the FCM wants a commitment from Ottawa that funding will continue.

“We need a partnership to address Canada’s housing

crunch, which is the most urgent financial issue facing Canadians today,” said FCM president Claude Dauphin in a speech to the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association last week.

“We cannot afford to wait any longer.”

Coun. Pietro Calendino said that urgency is especially being felt in Burnaby where “affordability is beyond a lot of people’s means. We’re in danger of putting people on the street if federal housing subsidies are lost.”

In January, a survey by Demographia, an urban policy consulting company, ranked Vancouver’s housing market as the second least affordable in the world.

VICTORIA – On April 1, medical marijuana growing licences expire across the country, and only licensed commercial growers will be able to legally fill a prescription for pot.

Ottawa is moving to clean up the mess it created by issuing medical licences all over the country. Since then, municipalities have complained that small-scale medical licences have been greatly exceeded, with many used as fronts for a criminal drug trade that has made B.C. infamous around the world.

How big is the problem? There are about 38,000 Canadians licensed to carry marijuana for medical purposes, and half of them live in B.C. Their permission to grow their own or buy it from designated small-scale growers is withdrawn in a couple of months.

Here’s a look at the community level. Police in the Fraser Valley suburb of Maple Ridge estimate that it alone has 500 properties licensed to grow pot. No, Maple Ridge is not a world hotspot for glaucoma or arthritis. It is historically known for its

secluded properties and as a base for B.C.’s prison system and the province’s Hells Angels.

Police have only an estimate because Ottawa’s bungled medical pot scheme conceals the location of licensed growers from provincial and local governments.

RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel told Maple Ridge council last week that his detachment will first target medical growers they know are linked to organized crime. But it’s difficult to determine which are legal and which are not.

“This has the potential to cripple the courts,” Fleugel said. “Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them.”

The police and fire department have proposed an amnesty or grace period, allowing people to disclose their location and have

it properly dismantled without penalty, to help deal with the volume.

This mess was created by Ottawa in response to a court ruling that forced them to make medical pot available. The Harper government remains trapped in a failed war-on-drugs mentality that prevents any innovation or even common sense. Then there is the circus in Vancouver, where self-styled princes of pot exploit the confusion of the medical marijuana law to run an Amsterdam-style retail trade.

Cannabis Culture, the pot and propaganda empire built by Marc Emery before he was jailed in the U.S., rants about the government’s “war on patients,” amid garish ads for “pot by post” and exotic weed varieties.

“By Health Canada’s own estimate, the cost will increase from $5 per gram to $8.80 per gram – going up by nearly 400 per cent,” its website warns. Apparently smoking lots of weed really is bad for your math skills.

Dana Larsen, who spearheaded the ill-conceived and failed decriminalization petition last year, heads up the serious-

looking “Medical Cannabis Dispensary.” It has done so well at its location in the drug bazaar of East Hastings Street that it’s got a branch office on Vancouver’s west side.

Its official-looking forms have a long list of conditions where only a confirmation of diagnosis is required. In addition to genuine conditions such as side effects of chemotherapy, it includes anxiety, psoriasis, spinal cord injury and even “substance addictions/withdrawal.”

And did you know you can get a vet’s note to buy medical pot for your pet?

Larsen has boasted about the exotic offerings of his stores, including “watermelon hash oil” at $150 for 2.5 grams.

Wow man, that’s like 400 million per cent higher!

Fittingly, this farce goes back underground on April Fool’s Day. Medical users can only order shipments from an approved commercial producer.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Prescription pot pretense ending

The Olympics are, for all intents and purposes, an event that can be replicated anywhere there are enough sport venues and hotel rooms to accommodate the events and additional people.

With that in mind, why, then, does the International Olympic Committee bestow the honour of hosting the Games on a country embroiled in human rights controversies? Any number of other countries – including bid finalists Salzburg, Austria and Pyeongchang, South Korea – could have earned the hosting duties.

We remain deeply troubled by Russia’s newly implemented anti-gay laws, which allow that country to arrest or fine anyone who “promotes nontraditional sexual relations.”

The IOC is governed by the Olympic Charter, which completely prohibits discrimination. IOC president Thomas Bach has repeatedly said he’s been assured by President Vladimir Putin that Russia will respect the Charter while the Games are happening. The fact those assurances are necessary should have been reason enough not to award Russia the Winter Games.

But with the competition already underway, that’s a moot point.

Instead, we urge our fellow Canadians to continue having an open dialogue about these injustices through the course of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Take pride in Canada’s athletes as we watch them perform in the coming weeks, but don’t get so swept up that the discrimination being perpetrated in the host country is forgotten.

Canada’s notion of true patriot love must extend beyond our borders. The pride we feel on home soil from being glorious and free should be felt by the citizens of every country, especially at the Olympics, when we’re highlighting fellowship among all.

COMMENT

Re: The family physician dilemma (Column, NewsLeader, Jan. 31)

As a woman physician who has worked in emergency, delivered babies, done house calls, cared for the sick in hospital and nursing homes, I resent women physicians being singled out as the cause for lack of man power. Should that be woman power?

Not a single one of our local family practice residents, of either gender, has taken on a full practice with all of the above. Younger physicians of both genders are not willing to do what we dinosaurs did, and who can blame them?

A 35-45 hour work week is the norm for others, why not physicians?

THE RIGHT MOVE, IF A POLITICAL ONE

One morning late last month Justin Trudeau removed Liberal-appointed Senators from the Liberal caucus and declared them henceforth to be independent of partisan politics.

In the afternoon of the same day he rose in the House of Commons during question period and asked Stephen Harper if he would do the same with respect to Conservative-appointed Senators. Harper’s response was to gleefully point out that even Liberal Senators felt Trudeau’s action did not constitute a change to the Senate status quo, as indeed it doesn’t.

If anything, all Trudeau did was change the make-up of the Liberal caucus.

Because when it comes down to it, although he may have declared Liberal Senators free of partisanship, the fact remains they are long-standing Liberal Party adherents. He may assert they will act independently, but the fact remains they are still card-carrying

members of the Liberal Party. And although they may be no longer asked to electioneer or fund raise, the fact remains they will retain the right (by virtue of party membership) to attend Liberal meetings and conventions. Liberal Senators they were and Liberal Senators they continue to be.

Still, it might be a good first step toward Senate reform if Harper reciprocated. But, of course, Trudeau knew Harper would not take up his challenge. He knew because both the Liberals and the Conservatives voted down the exact same proposal put forward to the House of Commons this past October by the NDP Official Opposition:

“That, in the opinion of this House, urgent steps must be taken to improve accountability in the Senate, and, therefore, this House calls for the introduction of

immediate measures to end Senators’ partisan activities‎, including participation in Caucus meetings, and to limit Senators’ travel allowances to those activities clearly and directly related to Parliamentary business.”

So, why we may well ask, does Trudeau vote against a House motion in October and then, three months and 360 degrees later, adopt it as a guiding principle for Liberal-appointed Senators and declare it a bold move towards Senate reform?

Given the facts, it’s hard not to think of it as anything more than political dishonesty.

Experts battle growing online crimeTom FletcherBlack Press

Online privacy and security experts gathered in Victoria on the weekend to share strategies to protect

computer networks they say are “under attack like never before.”

Charles Wordsworth, technology security consultant and vice

president of Privacy and Access Council of Canada, said the days of teenage computer hackers making mischief have been replaced by organized

crime, much of it based in Eastern Europe.

A key concern is breaking into computer networks that collect personal information.

The attraction is simple, Wordsworth said.

Online criminals work in secret, with little risk to them as they search for weaknesses.

“You don’t get shot robbing online banks,” Wordsworth said.

“Unfortunately from my experience, the hackers are getting smarter, they have more money than anybody else, so therefore they can hire people who are a lot smarter than the people who develop the applications.”

B.C. and other governments increasingly use web applications for access to their programs. B.C. Auditor General Russ Jones reported last week on security

deficiencies, calling on the province to require better security measures from contractors who develop websites used by government.

One recent example of a preventable breach was in Alberta, where 620,000 medical records were taken along with a laptop computer owned by a

private medical clinic with 25 outlets in the province.

Sharon Polsky, CEO of Privacy and Access Council of Canada, said encryption is simple now and should be required of all government contractors.

She said protection has to be built in at the beginning, and all employees and contractors with access to personal data should be trained to protect it.

While there isn’t much the average person can do to protect against institutional data breaches, there are simple precautions everyone can take.

The conference was organized by the Vancouver and Victoria chapters of ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association) an independent industry group with members in 180 countries.

It has created a website at www.bcaware.ca with advice to protect mobile security, social networking privacy and dealing with cyberbullying.

Tom FleTcher/Black PressEd Pereira, president of ISACA Vancouver, is one of the experts working to protect personal information from identity theft and other online crime.

Burnaby’s community heritage commission wants to spruce up interpretive plaques around the city.

The commission is asking city council for $5,000 to repair or replace signs that have been damaged or need to be relocated at the Samples Boarding House, at Hastings Street and Esmond Avenue, Confederation Park and at the Swinging Girl neon sign in Burnaby Heights.

It also wants $4,000 to install special bronze plaques on 11 city-owned heritage buildings. Six of those buildings are in Deer Lake Park, including the

R.M. Edgar House and four buildings that were part of the original Ceperley Estate.

The other five buildings are at Burnaby Village Museum, including the Thomas Irvine House, Jesse Love House, E.W. Bateman House, Bell’s Drygoods Store and Vorce Station, next to the Interurban tram barn.

The signs give the name of each building’s original owner or its name, as well as the date it was constructed.

Lou Pelletier, the city’s director of planning and building, said the installation of the signs “will ensure more prominence and recognition of these designated heritage

buildings.”The city has been erecting

interpretive signs at heritage buildings and historic sites since 1993 when it placed a series of bronze plaques and cairns along the route of the historic 1891 interurban tram line through Central Park, which is the same route now followed by SkyTrain’s Expo line.

The heritage commission has also partnered with neighbourhood groups like the Heights Community Association to tell their history through interpretive panels.

Pelletier has recommended city council approve the expenditures.

Police probe murder casePolice are investigating the

death of a young man near Lougheed Highway and Austin Road on Thursday night as a homicide.

Burnaby RCMP responded to a call at about 7:30 p.m. to assist a man in cardiac arrest in the area, and first responders located a male on a pathway that was being assisted by a passerby.

The man was transported to

a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased shortly after his arrival.

Burnaby RCMP secured the crime scene and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in to take over the investigation.

“We are in the very early stages of this investigation and we are working to establish what happened on this well-travelled path.” said RCMP

Cpl. Dominic Duchesneau of IHIT.

IHIT is asking anyone who may have information about this homicide to call the IHIT Tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or by email at [email protected].

To remain anonymous you can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip on their website at Solvecrime.ca.

A young man was murdered last Thursday evening near a path connecting an area south of Lougheed Highway with the mall’s southwest parking lot.

A Burnaby student is one of Canada’s top teen philanthropists.

Shivani Mysuria, who attends Grade 12 at Cariboo Hill Secondary school, was a finalist in the sixth annual Canada’s Top Teen Philanthropist contest conducted by Mackenzie Investments and StudentAwards.

She was recognized for

her volunteer work with the Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness, as well as fundraising and advocating to help end homelessness.

She’s also on the executive of the Burnaby Youth Sustainability Network, and an organizer of Operation Med School, a special conference to help guide young people towards a medical career.

Each of the five finalists from across Canada was awarded $500, plus another $500 for their chosen charity.

Nationwide, the top teen philanthropist was Abirami Kirubarajan of Mississauga. She won $5,000 as well as another $2,500 for personal investment.

Q : My mother keeps asking for her parents. She has Alzheimer’s disease and sometimes does not even realize she is

talking to her adult daughter. I hate to lie to her or worse tell her that her parents are dead. How do you think I should handle this?

Leah

Dear LeahIt is common that people with

this condition oscillate back and forth in time. Often they are in a different reality, another time, perhaps even decades ago. They may ask for parents, old pets or want to go back to homes they lived in long gone. You don’t have to lie to them, or tell them truths that could be confusing or painful. Distraction is one of the best strategies you can use. Tell mom, her parents can’t be with her now, but show her family photos they are in. That may be satisfying enough. Share memories with her from her past, favourite music, holiday meals or past family events. It’s not important that her relationship to actual time is not accurate.

It’s the sharing that counts.

Q : I’m in a fairly new relationship with a nice man. We’re both widowed from good long-

lasting marriages. Recently, we spent a weekend together in Seattle, but there is no established routine on our intimacy. I think both of us are nervous about getting too involved. Now that Valentine’s Day is coming, I’m getting anxious about what to expect or plan for this event.

Penny for your thoughtsDear Penny

These commercial events tend to put a lot of pressure on us. I guess you have to put it in perspective that it is just one day and what happens on it should not be the benchmark for measuring feelings

in your relationship. For some it is a timely excuse to do something special for a loved one. My advice is to do what you feel comfortable doing and keep your expectations in check. After all, it is as you say, a new relationship. Keep it light and fun. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.

at least a week taking in some sun and fun.

While a sunny vacation is definitely a fantastic treat, it is important to plan carefully to avoid some common problems. With seniors accounting for approximately 14.5 per cent of B.C. residents, travel safety is particularly important.

A trip to a sunny destination can be a great experience but our seniors really should take care when traveling.

Here are a few tips for ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip:

KNOW YOUR DESTINATION

It is important to understand your vacation destination as some of the differences can really create a problem. Before you go study your destination’s climate, elevation, humidity, native or epidemic diseases, water quality and availability of medical services. Having this information will help minimize some troubling surprises.

MEDICAL PRECAUTIONSBefore you travel, be sure to speak with a

travel agent or the local consulate about what vaccinations you need.

Be sure to get any vaccinations well in advance in case of reaction.

On top of vaccinations, ensure that you have enough prescriptions to last you the trip and a little beyond in case of any delays.

JET LAGMost of us can deal with a three-zone time

change without feeling too jet lagged, however, make sure to do what you can to prepare yourself. For a few days before, if traveling west, go to bed a few hours later than normal. If traveling east, go to bed a few hours earlier.

Be sure to eat lightly on departure day, drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Be sure that you have the appropriate medical coverage for your stay. If that means purchasing travel insurance, be sure to do so. The last thing anyone needs on a trip is to be stuck with costly medical bills. Plan ahead and be sure to have the right coverage.

Wendy J. Scott (RN, BScN, MA) is the owner and director of care of Nurse Next Door’s Burnaby/New Westminster/TriCities office. Reach her at 604-522-

9989 or [email protected].


Traveling seniors urged to take care As the seasons

change, and we enter our

colder winter months, many seniors decide to escape to a hotspot.

Some seniors, also known as ‘snowbirds,’ will spend their entire winter in a tropical destination, but many more will try to spend

February is Heart Month, a good time the commit to good heart health

According to the new Heart and Stroke Foundation 2014 Report on the Health of Canadians, more Canadians are surviving a heart attack or stroke than ever before.

But the report also showed that a major scare, like a heart attack or stroke, doesn’t always lead to survivors being able to make and maintain potentially life-saving behaviour changes.

Over the last 60 years the death rate has declined more than 75 per cent, with nearly 40 per cent of this decrease occurring in the last decade. This means that now, more than 90 per cent of Canadians who have a heart attack and more than 80 per cent who have a stroke and make it to the hospital will survive. Last year alone, there were 165,000 survivors of heart disease or stroke.

While this is great news, and certainly cause for celebration, much work remains to be done.

As part of the report, the foundation conducted a poll of 2,000 heart attack and stroke survivors (and loved ones who were able to answer on their behalf), to learn about their health behaviours before and after a heart attack or stroke.

The poll revealed that when it comes to physical activity, managing stress and maintaining a healthy weight, survivors are struggling to make and maintain these important healthy changes.

In addition to motivation, the poll outlined that other barriers posing challenges to survivors include:

• Not understanding what changes need to be made or how to make them.

• Challenges in physical or cognitive abilities since the event.

• Financial barriers, such as the costs of healthier foods and being physically active.

• Time constraints, including not enough time to exercise, or plan and prepare healthy meals.

Lifestyle change doesn’t always follow heart attack or stroke: Poll

Local author chronicles fairy tale relationship without the happily-ever afterGrant [email protected]

Megan Williams has a love story to tell this Valentine’s Day.

But it doesn’t have your typical fairytale ending.

Her book, Our Interrupted Fairy Tale, launched Tuesday on Amazon.

It tells the story of her relationship with Chad Warren, who she first met at a tennis camp when she was 16 and he was 26. A few days later she heard through the grapevine he’d been diagnosed with blood cancer.

Nothing developed between them at the time, but three years later she was home from a break from her college tennis team when she saw Chad again at the Blue Mountain Tennis Club.

“Chad Warren, you’re alive!” she recalls saying.

“I hadn’t given him much thought. I assumed he had died,” she admits sheepishly. “I didn’t realize how smitten I was with him until I began seeing him in tournaments.”

One day she went to the New Westminster Tennis Club to support

her friend Max who was playing a tournament match. It turned out Chad was Max’s opponent, and she started watching him and couldn’t help but notice the muscles bulging from his tank top. It wasn’t long before they

were dating.But while their love

blossomed his health deteriorated. Multiple myeloma, she says, is more vicious than leukemia.

Not your everyday love story

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERMegan Willams has written a book about her relationship with Chad Warren, who died four years ago from a form of blood cancer. They met on a tennis court and often played at the New Westminster Tennis Club.

V Lentine’s DAY


Friends and family wondered why she would get involved with someone whose prognosis was so bleak.

“I was interested in him and not what illness he had,” says Williams, 29. “He did a good job of hiding it and not making it in the forefront of everybody’s conversation. I never thought it

would be the end of him.”He couldn’t hide it totally,

though, especially when his energy levels kept dropping. At the same time, their relationship other grew and soon she knew he was the love of her life.

“He was awesome,” recalls Williams. “I had yet to meet anybody that got me, and he did from the very beginning. I

gained a best friend.”Having already experienced

being in his early 20s and playing college tennis himself, Chad understood what she was going through.

“I was struggling with tennis, not just as a player but with my identity,” Williams says. “My personal and tennis identities were colliding in a big way.”

After school she decided to spread her wings so she headed over to London to live for a while and travel Europe. Although Chad supported her globetrotting, everything changed one day when she phoned from Hungary and he was quiet. Finally he told her he missed her. When she asked why, he said, “because it’s hard to have you away.”

He went on to tell her the cancer was beating him. Right then she “realized home was where the heart was” even though she had never wanted “to be the girl who left for the guy.”

So they moved in together, and fought the cancer together—going from doctor’s appointment to doctor’s appointment.

Eventually, Chad had a second bone marrow transplant. Just before the operation they had a five-minute conversation about how the outcome would either lengthen his life, or shorten the end of it.

It was a prophetic statement.

V Lentine’s DAY


In November 2009, the doctors told them “there’s nothing else we can do” for Chad and he died three days later.

The low point came a week after, when everyone scattered following the funeral.

“Your regular life has to resume, but when the other half of your regular life has fallen out from under you, you realize it’s different.”

When he was alive, Chad and Williams liked to blog, and Chad had set a goal of raising $1 million for the Hematology Research and Clinical Trials Unit with his website www.chads1million.com.

She was cleaning out a closet one day when she found a big garbage bag. At the bottom was a diary of Chad’s from nine years earlier. In the back, he had written it should be published when the time is right.

To her the time was

right.“It sounds cheesy,

but that’s all it is. I believe what we had was big enough and special enough that it deserves a place in time, and not in a blog entry,” says Williams.

On the advice of a well-known author she met on a bus while on a business trip, Williams would write 1,000 words a day. A year ago, she took a draft to a publisher.

“It couldn’t have turned out any better,” said Williams. “It’s not just a family story that would appeal to the six of us. It’s a love story … It’s done in the most

honest way possible. It shows the flaws, it doesn’t glamorize the cancer or the relationship because it was flawed because of its tenuousness.

“Most of all I just want people to know about Chad.”

• The book was launched on Amazon on Tuesday (Feb. 11), Chad’s birthday.

Story ‘doesn’t glamourize’

V Lentine’s DAY


It was for a school performance about the First Peoples, and our grade performed the song “Land of the Silver Birch” in harmony with glockenspiel and xylophone. Song and dance are powerful ways of passing down cultural history to children. Stories told through artworks can be equally significant.

On Jan. 30, the Burnaby Art Gallery unveiled its recent acquisitions of First Nations and Inuit prints, additions to the City of Burnaby’s Permanent Art Collection.

This is the largest collection of First Nations work to be acquired by the gallery in its history.

These works hold cultural significance, with many telling ancient stories of humans, animals and the supernatural for different First Nations of the Northwest Coast.

One of the gifts to the city’s Permanent Art Collection is Bill Reid’s 1977 artwork “Children of the Raven,” which tells the

story of raven and the first people.

This is a well-known creation story famously depicted by Reid’s sculpture “Raven and the First Men” on view at the Museum of Anthropology.

Artworks such as this one represent the continuation of Native oral histories which have travelled across generations, over thousands of years.

Recent Acquisitions of First Nations and Inuit Prints runs until April 6. For full program listings, please visit: www.burnabyartgallery.ca.

Carmen Lam is marketing coordinator at the

Burnaby Art Gallery.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is promising Metro Vancouver mayors new authority to set priorities for transit and road expansion, and a new deadline to decide if they want more funding sources.

Stone announced Thursday he will bring in legislation this spring to give local governments authority to set policy, decide on fares, deal with customer service issues and sell assets in the system. He called on the mayors to work with the current TransLink board, which has that authority until the law is changed.

“The ball will be firmly in the

court of the mayor’s council now,” Stone told reporters in Vancouver.

Stone released a letter he sent to the mayors’ group Thursday, giving them the option of avoiding a referendum on new funding sources in conjunction with next November’ municipal elections.

The province “is willing to extend the referendum window to no later than June 30, 2015,” the letter says, as long as the mayors agree on new projects and costing by June 30 of this year.

If that deadline goes by without agreement on the basis for a plan, the referendum will be delayed to the 2017

municipal elections and the province will withdraw its offer to pay the costs.

NDP transportation critic George Heyman said Stone’s announcement lacks details of the promised new authority, and repeats an offer for the chair and vice-chair of the mayors’ council to join the appointed board that now controls policy.

The mayors were “blindsided” by Thursday’s announcement and offered two seats on the board, which they rejected earlier because they want full control, Heyman said.

“The minister continues to threaten the mayors and hold sticks over their heads and give them deadlines,” he said.
