THE LAST SKATE?:
It doesn’t happen often, but these young skaters were taking advantage of the chance to glide on a frozen Deer Lake over the weekend. The city posts warnings on its website advising people that it’s not safe to skate on city lakes – and, now that the weather is warming up, it seems unlikely anyone will have a chance to try again, at least for awhile. The forecast is now calling for rain and temperatures as high as 9C in the city this week, so we may have seen the last of the deep freeze. PHOTO CHUNG CHOW

Salt levels have streamkeeper worried Some creeks flowing off of Burnaby Mountain are experiencing higher-than-normal salt levels By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
While salt, sand and brine helped melt the ice off the roads, it hasn’t helped local waterways. Christine Ensing, an environmental services officer with the City of Burnaby, told the NOW some of the
creeks that flow off Burnaby Mountain are experiencing higher-than-normal salt levels that are above the allowable limit. Under B.C.’s water quality guidelines, levels can’t exceed more than 600 milligrams per litre. “We do have concerns with the amount of salt that’s being used, but I
mean, this has also been a very different winter,” she said, noting Burnaby Mountain’s roads are maintained by SFU, while Gaglardi Way and Burnaby Mountain Parkway are looked after by the city. “We’ve got a geography here where we have some steep roads and deep val-

leys, so we have to keep the roads safe.” One tributary, located where SFU’s old salt shed used to be, on the south side of the mountain, recently had a reading of 2,700 mg/L, according to John Templeton, chair of the Stoney Creek environment committee.Templeton
has been taking a reading almost every day for the last two months. “It’s bad. Most of January, they (SFU) were always out of compliance,” he said. Templeton is worried the excessive salt in local creeks will have a negative impact on the salmon eggs that are nestled in the gravel.The
streamkeeper pointed to a local experiment conducted a few years ago that saw salmon eggs placed in three different waterways. “We watched how those eggs developed.The first thing the study noticed was that there was a higher Continued on page 9

Newsnow NEW PROJECTS
Big bucks to be spent on recreation Everything from playgrounds to BurnabyVillage heritage displays are on the wish list in Burnaby By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
The city is looking at spending some big money on two dozen parks projects and improvements to start 2017. Later this week, the city’s parks and rec commission will be asked to approve 24 projects in the department totalling $3 million. The projects range from repaving parking lots and replacing footbridges to replacing equipment for sports and outdoor recreation. The projects will need final approval from city council. Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said it was the first opportunity to ask council to approve projects the department wants to start on right away. He also said there would be more requests as the year goes on. “We kind of go to the commission monthly with some projects we want to do in 2017,” Ellenwood told the NOW. Listed below are some of the specific projects on the table: ! George Green Park, Parkcrest Park and Avondale Park will have their
playground structures replaced at a cost of $175,000 each.The report noted the playgrounds meet the city’s “life cycle renewal timeline,” and accessibility improvements will be included in the work. Completion is planned for fall 2017. ! Burnaby Mountain Golf Course will be getting $295,000 in upgrades, including the renovation of washroom facilities and the design and development of improvements to increase its playability. ! Riverway Golf Course will be getting $175,000 for improvements that include a new pole and fence installation at the end of the range. ! Bill Copeland Arena will be getting $230,000 to reconfigure and upgrade the skate shop and to install electronic Read-O-Graph signage. ! Burnaby Village Museum will be getting $175,000 for exhibit upgrades to the west mall, which houses seven exhibits including the General Store, Stride Studios and Central Park Theatre. Upgrades include replacement of flooring and equipment and the provision of new interpretive opportunities for visitors. ! The Shadbolt Centre will be getting $150,000
PARK IMPROVEMENTS: The playground at George Green Park in North Burnaby is one of three playgrounds in the city being replaced in 2017, at a cost of $175,000 each. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR
for the installation of user-friendly audiovisual and presentation equipment in key rental studios. The equipment will include sound systems, projectors, screens, smart TV’s, lighting, and tables and chairs. Ellenwood explained
the projects, like the playgrounds, are chosen based on their life cycle. The city is also spending $150,000 on a needs assessment for the Brentwood Community Resource Centre. The staff report noted
with Brentwood’s current and future growth, “careful assessment of anticipated needs of area residents (now and in the future) is required to plan for the recreation and community amenities for this changing community.”
The report also said the project will provide a foundation for the conceptual design and the public consultation processes that follow in the development of the facility.
BRENTWOOD TOWN CENTRE ASSESSED AT $235 MILLION
And you thought houses were expensive Commercial real estate and industrial properties such as malls, also jumped 15 to 40 per cent higher By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
Interested in buying a mall? Well, you’re going to have to pony up some big bucks to do so. Not only do the recent B.C. Assessment property notices for 2017 offer up the value of residential properties, they also give a glimpse of the value of large commercial and industrial properties and some landmarks around the city. The three addresses that make up Metropolis at Metrotown, 4700, 4750 and 4800 Kingsway, are worth
$675 million, $89 million and $521 million respectively, for a total of roughly $1.28 billion. Last year, the combined properties were worth about $1.11 billion. Based on assessments, the Metrotown mall is the most valuable of the three big shopping centres in Burnaby. Brentwood Town Centre, located at 4567 Lougheed Hwy., has an assessed value of $235 million, which proved to be a big increase from the $150 million in 2016. Lougheed Town Centre isn’t too far behind with an
assessed value of $218 million, which was also a fairly large increase from the $167 million last year. Both malls are currently going through major redevelopments. While most homeowners saw the value of their homes increase by 30 to 50 per cent, B.C. Assessment noted commercial and industrial properties close to Vancouver will typically see increases in the 15 to 40 per cent range. “Commercial properties being purchased for eventual redevelopment will often exceed these ranges,” the as-
sessment authority said. Some of the bigger industrial properties also saw increases in assessed value for 2017. The old Shell refinery and current distribution centre at 6511 Hastings St. in North Burnaby was assessed at $62 million, compared to $48 million the previous year. The property home to Kinder Morgan’s tank farm at 2365 Underhill Ave. came in at $56 million, an increase from $43 million in 2016. If you’re interested in higher learning, the value of
SFU’s campus as a whole is not available, but BCIT’s campus is, and it’s worth $9.5 million. In the arts, the Shadbolt Centre property at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. is worth $1.83 million, but several properties also in the area range in assessed value from $2 to $9 million. The assessed values of city hall, parks and the hospital are not available, but there are assessments for Burnaby’s two city-owned golf courses. Burnaby Mountain Golf Course, located at 7600 Halifax St., is worth $11.5
million and was virtually unchanged from 2016. Riverway Golf Course, at 9001 Bill Fox Way, was assessed at $55.5 million this year, which is almost $7 million more than its value in 2016. If $55 million sounds like a lot for the assessed value of a golf course, a short drive across the border in Vancouver, Fraserview Golf Course was assessed at $766 million for 2017.

Trafficking conviction upheld One of two men convicted of importing opium from Iran lost an appeal Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
One of two men convicted of importing opium from Iran into Burnaby has lost his appeal. The B.C. Court of Appeal has tossed out an appeal by Esfandiar Henareh, who was convicted of possessing opium for the purposes of trafficking, in a case going back to 2011. According to the appeal decision, Henareh was arrested along with another man, Aghasi Salamat Ravandi, by police in March 2011 near an apartment in the 4300 block of Maywood Avenue. Police found nearly 14 kilograms of opium in three coolers located underneath a blanket in the trunk of the Honda Henareh was driving. The two men were under surveillance by RCMP after an officer received a tip about men involved in importing opium from Iran into Canada. Ravandi was convicted
and sentenced to 4.5 years in prison in a separate trial. According to the facts of the case, on March 9, 2011, an officer identified as Sgt. Fossum received information from the Canadian Border Service Agency that a shipment had arrived from Iran addressed to Ravandi at his Burnaby residence.The shipment consisted of four large packages that were said to contain samovars (teapots) and rugs.The packages were referred for secondary inspection.Three of the packages contained samovars. One package contained rolled up rugs.The samovars were deconstructed and found to contain a total of approximately 18 kilograms of opium. Two days later, Ravandi unexpectedly returned to the CBSA Air Cargo Centre to collect the shipment. Sgt. Fossum was advised of this development and a surveillance team was quickly assembled consisting of RCMP and CBSA officers.
Ravandi was invited by a CBSA officer to wait in a small coffee shop adjacent to the CBSA Air Cargo Centre for his packages to be readied for delivery. He was seen by surveillance officers sitting at a table in the café. A second man, later identified as Henareh, was seated in the café at the same time. Both men were typing on their handheld devices but did not speak or appear to acknowledge one another. Ravandi left the café. Shortly thereafter, Henareh left the café and walked in the same direction as Ravandi, where he was seen getting into a Honda. After being tailed into Vancouver, the police watched the two men load one of the packages from a U-Haul van into the Honda.The two men got in the Honda and drove to Burnaby. Henareh parked a block or two away from Ravandi’s residence in Burnaby. He stayed in the vehicle while
Ravandi got out and began walking towards his building. Henareh then drove around to the back alley of Ravandi’s building. At that time, Sgt. Fossum pulled the Honda over and arrested Henareh for importing a controlled substance. In his appeal, Henareh argued the evidence obtained in a search of his vehicle incidental to a warrantless arrest should not have been admitted at trial. The appeal decision, written by Justice Gregory Fitch, noted the trial judge engaged in an exhaustive review of the evidence in a voir dire, or trial within a trial. In a summary, Fitch wrote the central issue is whether the arresting officer’s subjective belief that he had reasonable grounds to arrest the appellant was objectively reasonable. He said the trial judge did not err in law or misapprehend the evidence.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Will pipeline be deciding issue in Burnaby? So if we have this right, Premier Christy Clark said the Kinder Morgan pipeline would not be approved by the province unless it met five conditions. Although Clark also said the province was not able to block the project.Which is it? As she told the media last week, “This wasn’t a project that was ours to approve. It was the federal government’s. … Our job was to fight for the best interest of British Columbians.”
So, are we meant to admire Clark for extorting more money and jobs from Kinder Morgan when she really didn’t have the power to stop the pipeline in any case? On the one hand, perhaps she is correct. She stickhandled this the best way she could to gain the most (economically) for B.C. On the other hand, why should we have faith that she won’t sell out for a bit more money if Kinder Mor-
gan falls short of meeting whatever requirements they’re now supposed to meet in B.C.? What we are sure of is there is now a clear choice between the NDP and the Liberals on the pipeline.We think. NDP leader John Horgan has stepped fully off the fence and says the NDP will not allow the pipeline to proceed. Clark is firmly for the pipeline. But wait. If the province
Will the only voters who care be the ones close to the new pipeline?
truly has no say in the pipeline’s future – then what Horgan says is pretty worthless, isn’t it?
Easy to make promises and then shrug your shoulders after the election, if you win, and say you’ll try everything in your power to stop it – but, well, it’s kind of too late. But at least he’s taking a stand. And it might be a critical one in Burnaby, where Anne Kang is running in Burnaby-Deer Lake (Kathy Corrigan’s former riding) and Horgan is hoping the NDP can take Burnaby North back from
the Liberal Richard Lee. And then there’s BurnabyLougheed, where Liberal Steve Darling is facing off against Jane Shin’s successor, Burnaby school trustee Katrina Chen. It will be interesting to see if the pipeline carries any weight with Burnaby voters come May 9.Will the only voters who care be the ones close to the new pipeline? We await with bated breath.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
New Democrats in a tough spot For a party that has a razor thin margin of error if it expects to win the upcoming election, the NDP can’t be happy about a number of developments in recent days.The NDP needs to not only hold onto every single seat it won in the 2013 election – including several won by very narrow margins – but, on top of that, it needs to take about 11 seats that the B.C. Liberals won in that election. Translation: every single potentially winning seat is precious to the NDP.Which brings us to a couple of ridings the NDP needs to win, but where internal party squabbles may dash the party’s hopes if things are allowed to fall apart. The riding of Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island has been beset with internal party strife during a messy and bizarre nomination process. One candidate quit, citing harassment and the party’s refusal to deal with her claims, but more problematic is the fact the party’s riding president resigned his post and now intends to run as an independent. Ian Morrison quit because he was blocked from seeking the riding nomination because he is a white male.The NDP’s policy is that in ridings where a male steps down as an MLA (as is the case in Cowichan Valley) then another man (or, specifically, a white man) cannot replace him as the candidate. Morrison’s independent candidacy could be quite the problem for the NDP. Presumably he be-
came riding president because he has some support among local New Democrats, and some are expected to vote for him in May. The riding used to be considered a fairly safe NDP riding, but the party’s support declined by more than 2,200 votes in the 2013 election compared to the 2009 vote, and much of it seemed to go to the Green Party candidate. The Greens are running a well-known local activist this time around and should continue to pick up ground, and the B.C. Liberals, who lost by 1,400 last time, are likely licking their chops at the prospect of a further vote split. Meanwhile, the party is apparently facing more potential internal woes in the riding ofYale-Lillooet (another riding it likely needs to pick up from the B.C. Liberals). Former longtime NDP MLA Harry Lali, who enjoys high personal popularity in the riding, wants the nomination, but elements of the central party establishment don’t want him anywhere near it, given his previous support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline and his propensity for criticizing the party. We’ll see where this one goes. Throw in the party’s anti-Kinder Morgan position (which will likely greatly hamper the NDP’s ability to make inroads in ridings north of Hope), and that margin of error is getting ever narrower. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Assessments unfair to Burnaby seniors
Pipeline gets the nod from B.C. government
Dear Editor An open letter to the Honourable Michael de Jong, B.C. Minister of Finance Dear Minister de Jong: Having received my assessment notice shortly before you announced the new threshold for the provincial homeowner grant being set at $1.6 million, I am somewhat incredulous at your statement, as reported in the media, that 91 per cent of homeowners in the province will remain eligible for the grant, including 86 per cent of homes in Metro Vancouver. I appreciate that you have the resources to ensure that statement is accurate, but I should really like to know how those numbers are compiled. Obviously they must include mostly highrise apartment properties and are a reflection of the current trend to densification, gentrification, and overall elimination of single-family homes as well as rental housing. I have done a random check of assessments in my neighbourhood, and I have found only one freestanding house within a couple of blocks of my home that remains eligible for the homeowner grant this year. Without actually counting the number of homes in my locality, which is not upscale by any stretch of the imagination, I would estimate that this eligible homeowner represents about two per cent of homes within 300 metres of my house, and that fewer than five per cent of single family homes in South Burnaby (and a correspondingly lower proportion in Vancouver and the North Shore) will now remain eligible for the grant. As a matter of policy, I would suggest that in denying single family homeowners the homeowner grant while supporting it for most apartment dwellers you are engaging in an unwarranted exercise of social engineering. The practice of using arbitrary property assessments combined with a single blanket price as the sole criterion for determining eligibility for the homeowner grant is unfair, particularly to seniors like myself, and in my opinion is politically unsound. In the interest of fairness, other criteria that could be readily incorporated in eligibility are length of ownership, age of the improvements, as well as the age of owner/ occupant. Please bear in mind that my house is a roof over my head and my home, not a numerical entry in a ledger. Thomas Hasek, Burnaby

Rick McGowan In Washington State, companies transporting heavy oil are required by law to demonstrate they have the capacity to clean up sunken oil. The Federal Government’s Ocean Protection Plan adds things like more coast guard vessels. It doesn’t include any ability to respond to sunken or submerged oil. The BC Government knows this. Their solution is to give Kinder Morgan approval to build the pipeline and then ask the company to figure out the rest. earlrichards No tar sands tankers for Vancouver harbour. A spill from a tanker down into Vancouver harbour will hurt Vancouver’s business base. The tanker corporations do not have any world-class equipment to cleanup a spill. Some messes cannot be cleaned-up, they can only be stopped, before they happen. When companies leave, Vancouver’s tax base will disappear. Vancouver will lose tourism jobs and future businesses, as tourists and companies tend to shy away from contaminated areas, and companies will not locate in Vancouver. Remember the Kalamazoo. The toxic, tar sands should not be permitted to reach Burnaby.

Too much sodium: Streamkeeper John Templeton is worried SFU is using excessive amounts of salt for snow and ice clearing, causing harm to creeks on Burnaby Mountain. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Salty creeks cause concern Continued from page 1 mortality (rate) with the higher concentration (of salt), and there was a larger number of deformities,” said Templeton. He won’t know what kind of damage has been done until the fish emerge in the spring, he added Templeton said he’s concerned and “somewhat disheartened” about the salty creeks, given that 2016 had the biggest chum run in decades. “It was the best year ever,” he said of the 2,400plus chum that returned. One alternative to salt, Templeton suggested, is EcoTraction, a non-toxic, all-natural volcanic rock. According to the Canadian company’s website, the granules embed into ice and snow, creating a solid, non-slip surface. “It all comes down to cost,” said Templeton. “Salt is cheap, so as long as they’re allowed to use salt, they’re going to use it.” Meanwhile, SFU’s director of communications Kurt
Heinrich said dealing with snow and ice is an issue of public safety. “We have a state-of-theart winter operations facility where salt can be safely handled and where we manufacture brine. Our practices are compliant with all applicable regulations,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. “Our approach is specifically designed to minimize the use of salt. Brine is used on our roads before a storm or to deal with icy conditions. “During a snowfall, our focus is on removing the snow from the roads by us-
ing snow-plowing equipment. Salt, and sometimes sand, is used to deal with residual snow and ice in steep areas where vehicle traffic may be dangerous.” Heinrich noted the school’s supply of road salt ran out two weeks ago and a new shipment is expected Jan. 19. “Our staff keep abreast of advancements in dealing with snow and ice.We are currently investigating the use of beet juice to see if it is a method that might be viable for us to adopt in the future,” he wrote.

Burnaby shines in Ovation Award nominations Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
It’s Ovation Awards time again – and Burnaby is once again representing. Burnaby shows and performers abound on this year’s list of nominees for the Ovations, which recognize the best in musical theatre in the region. Awards will be presented at a gala on Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Vancouver Academy of Music, and nominations were announced last week. Leading the way once again was Align Entertainment, which stages its productions at Burnaby’s Michael J. Fox Theatre. Its fall production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is up for Outstanding Community Production – Large Theatre, and director Chad Matchette and musical director Kevin Michael Cripps are also nominated in their categories. Julie White is nominated for costume design and Ed Arteaga for lighting design. Melissa Turpin is nominated for Outstanding Choreography. Performers from the show are also among the nominees, led by Stuart Barkley (Joseph) for Outstanding Lead Performance (male). Katie-Rose Connors (narrator) is up for Outstanding Lead Performance (female). And the show’s children’s ensemble is named among the special award nominations for being “an active and engaged part of the entire production.” Align’s February 2016 show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, is also up for a cou-
ple of awards: for Jaime MacLean as Outstanding Newcomer, and for a special award for the flying car used in the show. Other Burnaby residents are also represented among the nominees. Sherry Freeman is up for Outstanding Lead Performance (female) for her turn as Bonnie in Play on Words’ Bonnie and Clyde. Kurtis D’Aoust is up for Outstanding Supporting Performance (male) for his work as Angel in URP’s Rent. Oliver Castillo is up for a special award for his work in the male quartet in The Music Man at Gateway Theatre. Another Burnaby resident, Britt MacLeod, is being lauded for her work on the writing side: her musical, Carry On (she wrote the music and lyrics) is up for Outstanding New Work, as presented by Awkward Stage Productions. Whew.That was quite a list. If you know of any other Burnaby connections among the nominations, be sure to let me know – it’s a lengthy list, and I’d hate to miss anyone. Kudos to all the nominees, and good luck on awards night! PHOTO SHOWCASE Photography buffs, mark your calendars now. The Burnaby Photographic Society is returning to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts for its 21st annual showcase of photography.

Awards recognize anyone who faced adversity Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
Renea Mohammed was in the middle of her master’s degree when she started hearing voices. They would tell the then26-year-old to kill herself, something she attempted three times. Mohammed also believed she was under surveillance and that there were cameras planted inside her apartment and all around the city. “They were very difficult to live with,” the Burnaby resident, a 2006 Courage to Come Back Award recipient, told the NOW. “I learned pretty quickly that others couldn’t hear them. I thought the reason was because they were using some sophisticated technology that enabled them to broadcast in such a way that I would only hear it.” Mohammed, now 46, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1997. Despite her diagnosis, she went on to complete her master’s degree in library and information studies.
“It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done, so I’m kind of proud I finished it,” she said, noting her husband’s support helped her during that critical time. But what followed was a four-year struggle that saw Mohammed in and out of jobs and in and out of hospitals.The voices resurfaced and paranoia set in.
I learned pretty quickly that others couldn’t hear them.
“I would end up quitting jobs and then I eventually gave up on the idea of working at all. I considered myself retired in my 20s,” she recalled. It was only when doctors found the perfect concoction of meds that the voices stopped. It took a few tries, though. Sometimes the side effects of the medications
were worse than Mohammed’s schizophrenia and “felt like torture.” Volunteering was also part of Mohammed’s recovery. Slowly, she start getting comfortable around people again. When she decided she was ready to go back to work, she knew she wanted to have a career in the mental health field. Mohammed finished the community mental health worker program at Douglas College and was hired as a peer support worker for Vancouver Mental Health and Addictions Services. Mohammed’s story is just one example of why Coast Mental Health holds its annual Courage to Come Back Awards. Now in its 19th year, the gala recognizes six individuals from across the province who have overcome adversity, have changed their lives for the better and have helped others do the same. “There really is no small story,” said spokesperson Alyssa Goad. “What people need to realize is what may

seem insignificant to them is a huge story to others. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, it’s not that big of a deal that I volunteer 100 hours a month at this place and I struggle with this.’ … Anybody who’s overcome anything is some-
one who should be celebrated.” Last year’s event raised $1.43 million for Coast Mental Health, which offers programs and housing to people with mental illness. Goad said staff hope

CONCORD FLORAL WHAT IS IT? The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is hosting Concord Floral, a production performed by an ensemble of teen performers. Without giving too much away, Concord Floral is a one million-square-foot abandoned greenhouse and hangout spot for neighbourhood kids, who go there to party, have sex and smoke up. When two friends stumble upon a terrible secret buried there, they go looking for answers and set off a chain of events that can’t be stopped. The play is written by Governor General awardwinning playwright Jordan Tannahill and is directed by Erin Brubacher and Cara Spooner. It reimagines Boccaccio’s medieval allegory The Decameron, in which 10 teens must flee a mysterious plague “they have brought upon themselves.” “This is an experiment in creation, collaboration
and participation, as well as thrilling theatre in its own right,” states an online write-up. “This is a show to give voice to youth; it’s an act of empowerment in itself. Our teenage years are an adventure, full of thrills, terror and heart; here it all comes to life through a powerful scenario.” IS IT AN ALL-AGES EVENT? This play is for teens and up. Younger folk may not get the nuances of the script, which confronts the
realities of being a teenager in today’s modern world. The production has been called a “magnetic piece of theatre” (National Post) and “a show that stays with you” (Toronto Star).

Some new ways to think about chronic pain HEALTHWISE
editorial@burnabynow.com
When pain becomes chronic, it can affect every aspect of our lives – the activities of daily living, our relationships, our enjoyment of life – how we see ourselves and our future. Because pain is at the root of these negative changes, it can become the focus of our attention and our daily lives. Pain can shade our emotions and shape our thoughts. As we lose a sense of control in our lives, we may feel helpless, and helplessness begets anxiety. If we become pessimistic, we may lose hope, and hopelessness begets depression. Our emotions restrict our outlook and narrow our thoughts. When we are anxious, we catastrophize (imagining the worst), we overestimate the challenges before us, and we underestimate our ability to manage them.When we are depressed, we think negative thoughts about ourselves, our world and our future.
We can get stuck in a vortex of negative thinking and emotion, and this cognitive state actually worsens the experience of pain. Chronic pain can result in a dramatic decrease in our level of physical activity. As a consequence, our bodies become deconditioned and we lose flexibility, balance and strength.We also lose the proven benefits of vigorous physical activity to improve mood, reduce anxiety, manage stress and reduce pain. We now have new approaches to chronic pain. The focus has changed from the exclusive pursuit of the tissue pathology to a reasonable attempt to exclude reversible pathology and reach a diagnosis; from having only one tool (pain medication) to a toolbox of management options; from the exclusive pursuit of pain reduction to improving function and quality of life; from drugs and medical interventions as the only way to treat pain to transforming the central nervous system through empowering mindbody techniques.
There is no single pain generator in the human nervous system.The pain we experience is the product of the interplay of the original injury, the nervous system’s ability to modulate sensations, and how we cope. Chronic pain can change the way the central nervous system functions.The central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) becomes very efficient in signalling pain. In fact, less of a stimulus (perhaps just a light touch or everyday physical activity) can trigger a greater pain response. This process has been called “central sensitization.” It involves changes in the structures of the brain related to sensation and emotion and changes in the efferent and afferent pathways up and down the spinal cord. In the words of Canadian neuropsychologist, Donald Hebb, “neurons that fire together wire together.” This is how we learn and how we establish new habits.This is why the spinal cord and brain become very efficient in signaling pain when the same pathways
are reinforced over time. This is why in chronic pain the experience of pain can increase over time even if there is no further change in the originally injured body part. This does not mean that pain is imaginary or in the head.The person who suffers from chronic pain by no means is to blame for his or her own suffering. But there is hope beyond painkillers for managing chronic pain. We now know that we need not remain stuck. Through functional MRI, we know that some treatments such as meditation and cognitive therapy can change how our nervous system processes sensations and perceive pain. The relatively new field of neuroplasticity has shown us how we can retrain and change our own brains. Again, knowing that neurons that fire together wire together, we can create and reinforce new connections between neurons and therefore new pathways through the brain and spinal cord to manage and decrease the maladaptive perception of

Burnaby gains USL soccer franchise
Relocated from Seattle,TSS Rovers join ranks in USL premier development league
Swangard Stadium is going play host to the USL. The Burnaby stadium will be the new home pitch for the Total Soccer Systems (TSS) FC Rovers, who will be operating in the USL Premier Development League for the upcoming season. TSS, which operates a soccer academy in Richmond, announced it has purchased the Washington Crossfire franchise and will compete in the PDL Northwest Division. Other teams in the division are last year’s finalist Calgary Foothills, Seattle Sounders u23, the Portland Timbers u23s, the Kitsap Pumas, Lane United of Oregon and the Victoria Highlanders. The Rovers will be led by TSS owner and head coach Colin Elmes.Their roster will consist of
entirely domestic players. “The PDL creates the apex of our player development model and gives the younger male players in our program a clear progression that takes them to the end of their high school period and beyond,” Elmes said. “(The) TSS Rovers main objective will be to help push players into the higher levels of the game in North America, help populate our national team programs and with our home being at Swangard Stadium, organically create a community-based culture that soccer people can own and support. “If along the way TSS Rovers hits the heights of some of our other Canadian franchises, that will just help enhance all of the above.”
Based out of Richmond for the past 17 years, the TSS Academy takes over a franchise that will be one of seven new teams operating in the PDL this season. “We are excited to bring soccer back to the grass at Swangard Stadium,” remarked general manager and assistant coach Will Cromack, “and are delighted to be able to provide more professional player development opportunities to the wonderful soccer market of greater British Columbia. “The PDL provides a further professional environment for kids who may have been passed over by the other clubs in our area. A place where they might aspire to continue to develop and enhance the opportunities for our region to still develop more players. As a
late blooming development sport the more clubs providing places to play is always great for the soccer community.” The PDL is part of the United Soccer League, operators of the Division II USL as well as the SuperY League. “We are thrilled to welcome TSS FC Rovers into the PDL,” PDL Director Todd Eason said. “Targeting strong ownership groups, such as TSS Rovers, has been a strong focus of the league for 2017, and the club will definitely improve an already talented Northwest Division.” Last year the season started in May and ran into August. It marks the return of the USL PDL to Vancouver, after the Whitecaps shuttered its u-23 Whitecaps PDL team in 2014.
With all the games that the St. Thomas More Knights have played over the past two weeks, the coming exam period could feel like a welcomed holiday for members of the senior boys basketball team. Seven games in 14 days can take a toll, but the Knights gained some valuable knowledge during that run, which included a tourney title (their own Chancellor) and a climb into the No. 1 slot of B.C.Triple-A rankings. But as coaches will do, it was the one blemish in a 6-1 record which delivered the biggest lesson. “It was good for our guys, in a way, as it serves as a reminder that no one is going to give you a (win),” STM coach Aaron Mitchell said of Friday’s 71-47 loss to Vancouver College in the B.C. Catholic championships semifinal. “(VC) played hard and came out fast and we just didn’t match them.” He was pleased how a day later the squad responded with a gritty 47-37 win in the bronze match against Double-A-ranked St. Patrick’s, even if it wasn’t a work of art. “It was kind of an ugly win, but I guess if you score 47 points and win that’s a pretty decent sign.” Coming off the bench and providing clutch efforts were Paolo Labrador and Nathan Hallam. Setting a strong tone in the tourney, which also saw the Knights knock off Archbishop Carney 64-46 in the opener, were Grade 12s Liam Feenan and Cam Morris.The latter was named to the tourney’s first all-star team. On the senior girls side, the Knights put up a valiant battle before finishing the Catholic championships in fourth place. A 57-35 loss to Little Flower Academy ended the three-game series, and came despite STM’s 47-27 dominance on the boards. Emma Stewart-Barnett counted seven points, while Aurafel Domingo contributed six points and eight rebounds off the bench. STM started the tourney with a 50-39 victory over Archbishop Carney, getting 12 points from first allstar selection Anabela Chiu.They were edged 55-50 in the semifinal by eventual champion Immaculata. In that game, a strong second quarter gave the Knights a 24-17 halftime lead, but Immaculata pulled even heading into the final eight minutes, where they outscored STM by five points. Chiu counted 15 points, 13 rebounds and four assists, while second team all-star Shiloh Corrales-Nelson tallied 10 points and 11 boards.

Wilson gets SFU going
Meg Wilson was right on point Saturday. The rest of the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team were glad to follow her lead. The fourth-year senior with the Clan delivered a stellar effort, scoring 21 points, six rebounds and six assists as SFU blasted Saint Martin’s Saints 92-61 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference action on Burnaby Mountain. While the stats were solid, it was in all the other ways Wilson regularly contributes that made the difference, Clan head coach Bruce Langford said. “She’s dangerous because she can go by people, and she can score inside really nicely,” said Langford of Wilson. “She’s got good finish inside, and she gets a lot of easy baskets off of good steals and going coast-tocoast.” Attacking the paint in the first quarter, SFU erased an early 4-0 deficit with 11

Up by seven points after one quarter, they led 48-27 at halftime. “I thought we came out a little slow in the first couple of minutes, but then we came together in that quarter, came together a little better,” said Langford. The Clan would put up 31 points in the third quar-

For her performance, Wilson was named the GNAC’s women’s basketball Player of the Week, having tallied 35 points over two games, the other a 7161 win over Seattle Pacific.
