Canada Post ends home delivery for 18,000 Andrea Peacock Victoria News
Canada Post will stop stop home delivery to more than 18,000 addresses in Greater Victoria in the fall of 2015, part of the Crown corporation’s move to end all urban doorto-door mail service to five million Canadians in five years. People in the affected areas will have to get mail from their local community mailbox. Homeowners were sent information on the conversion process last week.
Canada Post said the move is to save costs, but no jobs will be lost. “No regular full-time or part-time employee will lose their job as a result of the initiative,” said Daria Hill, spokesperson for Canada Post. “As we have stated throughout this process, we will reduce our workforce largely through attrition as people leave the company.” The corporation says Canadians mailed almost 1.2 billion fewer pieces of mail in 2013 than they did in 2006. Victoria MP Murray Rankin said there
needs to be more serious public consultations on the move to community mailboxes. “We need to understand if there’s special arrangements that can be made for seniors and people with mobility issues,” Rankin said. Rankin said he would like to see home delivery of mail retained as a service. “My fundamental point is this might make sense in suburban and rural areas, but to try to put these boxes in a fully builtout settled neighbourhood like we have in most of Victoria and Oak Bay, is going to be
hugely problematic.” The addresses affected by the changes include postal codes starting with V9A, V9B and V9C. This includes Victoria, Colwood, Saanich, Esquimalt, View Royal and Songhees First Nation. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Desjardins takes Saanich mayor to task Daniel Palmer Black Press
Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins is rais-
ing concerns about what she claims is a “previously undisclosed conflict of interest” by Saanich Mayor
Frank Leonard in relation to the region’s sewage treatment project. “It has come to my attention that at the
Saanich all-candidates meeting held Oct. 22 at the Prospect Lake [and District] Hall, Mayor Frank Leonard
vote yes!
declared a previously undisclosed conflict of interest with regards to his participation in the sewage treatment discussions and planning process undertaken by the Capital Regional District Sewage Treatment Committee,” Desjardins said in a statement. Desjardins was referring to comments made by Leonard when asked why he doesn’t regularly sit on the CRD’s core area wastewater management committee. “I don’t go on the sewage committee because I never want to be in a conflict of interest,” Leonard told the crowd last Wednesday night. The committee and CRD board must approve any budget increases to the sewage treatment project, while an appointed
board known as the Seaterra commission awards procurement contracts for the project. When reached by phone, Leonard said he was referring to his connection to multinational engineering firm WorleyParsons, which employs his son. WorleyParsons conducted marine monitoring for the CRD and completed an environmental impact study off McLoughlin Point, where construction of a wastewater treatment plant and marine outfalls was scheduled to begin earlier this year before the project was put on hold. “In an abundance of caution, I chose not to go on the committee to avoid a perception of conflict of interest,” Leonard said. “I’ve restricted myself to CRD board discussions
and public policy discussions. Never have I voted on anything to do with which firm getting what.” Leonard said he has previously been upfront with declaring his familial connection to WorleyParsons and denied any influence on awarding work to the company. “Six years ago … I appointed an alternate to the [core area] liquid waste management committee rather than take the seat myself. I was open about it,” he said. Leonard said he also avoided taking a seat on the liquid waste committee because of his involvement with the B.C. Municipal Pension Board, which owns shares in another sewage bidding firm, Corix. Please see: Frank Leonard, Page A4

We chat with Anne Carrelli, a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital. She’s part of a team of nurses, doctors and social workers who treat children with cancer.
Alicen Chow and Coll Gordon were taken aback when their six-yearold daughter Islay Mei Gordon was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. A year of medical procedures and tests followed.
Melia Balzer was a happy, rambunctious little girl. Her first symptom of cancer was a tummy ache. The diagnosis later revealed Wilms’ Tumour, a rare kidney cancer.

Family focus brought to cancer care
A
Kevin Laird Reporting
Families have many fears when their child undergoes cancer treatment. A special unit at Vic General aims not only to treat the patient, but help the family, too.
■ OUR VIEW: The job of conquering cancer is far from over, but to accomplish it will require the joint efforts of researchers, clinicians and especially every one of you. /A8
nne Carrelli steps into the waiting area and spots three other women standing in the middle of the room talking and laughing in the midst of a group hug. They spot Carrelli and invite her in. Within moments, the excited group decides to go into a side room to chat privately. Carrelli turns to a waiting reporter and says she’ll be back in a few minutes and apologizes for the delay. Carrelli returns a short while later and again apologizes to the reporter and points out that she was meeting with the mother of a child with cancer. In Carrelli’s world as a pediatric oncology nurse with Island Health, connecting with the family means everything. Victoria General Hospital operates the region’s only pediatric oncology daycare unit, which treats and counsels sick children in their cancer journey. The team, which includes four nurses, a physician, social worker and child psychologist, is responsible for everything from physical checkups to chemotherapy, even palliative care. And while that seems clinical, it has one enduring quality: loving care. “You see a family at their most vulnerable here,” Carrelli said in an interview. “There is nothing more terrifying to a family than the potential loss of their child.” Almost all of the families that walk through the clinic doors at Vic General have been treated at B.C. Children’s Hospital first. It’s a way the health-care system can keep families closer to home and still provide quality care. To Carrelli, the key to good oncology care is building trust and getting to know the families. This allow the family – and more importantly the child – to feel comfortable in their surroundings. During cancer care families are inundated with medical information they need to know to help their child fight the cancer. “We try to build that trust with the families so they trust themselves,” said Carrelli. “They need to know there is more to looking at the numbers on a [medical] machine. They know their child and need to assess how their child is doing by looking and talking to them, too.” Families have many fears when they come into care. They wonder whether the cancer treatment is going to work – and there is always an underlying fear on how they’re going to get through this with their child.
Kevin Laird/Victoria News
Pediatric oncology nurse Anne Carrelli at Victoria General Hospital: “Our families are why we are here.” The medical team attempts to reassure families that pediatric cancer is curable, but is only as good as the science available. “We believe in our treatments and we believe in our protocols,” Carrelli said. “If we get to a point where things don’t appear to be working, we look at other options.” Carrelli has been a pediatric nurse for more than 20 years, the last eight in pediatric oncology. She wouldn’t trade her job for anything, she said. Still, there are many hardships in the job. Like the kids that don’t make it. “I might not be able change the end result, but I really have to make a difference on their way there. For me, that’s treating every family the way I would want my family to be treated,” Carrelli said. Children fighting cancer often are more optimistic than their parents or sometimes even the health team treating them. Most parents say kids who are fighting cancer just want to be kids. Oftentimes you
can see children working hard to please their parents and do what’s expected of them. Children, especially the younger ones, seldom talk about the cancer, Carrelli said, but some do have fears about some painful procedures. “When kids get very sick we are sometimes protective of them and we and the families don’t tell them how much sicker they are, but the children seem to know without being told.” Still, Carrelli stresses it’s always important for the team to do a better job and make the cancer journey as easy as possible for both her young patients and their families. “Our families are why we are here,” she said. klaird@blackpress.ca

Scary Halloween Eye Health Risks BC DoCtors of optometry proviDe Halloween safety tips BC Doctors of Optometry caution parents to consider potential risks to children during Halloween. It’s not uncommon for this enjoyable holiday to take some not-so-fun turns, and there are things people can do to help protect kids - and their vision.
there are more children on the street than usual, and they tend to be excited and pay less attention to traffic safety.
One of the main concerns Doctors of Optometry have is the potential danger associated with the use of decorative or cosmetic contact lenses. “Many people don’t realize contact lenses are medical devices,” says Dr. Stephen Taylor of the Mayfair Optometric Clinic. “And just like prescription contacts, decorative contact lens users should have their eye health examined by a Doctor of Optometry to ensure their eyes are in good health and to have the lenses properly fitted before using them.”
• Avoid decorative or cosmetic contact lenses, which may obscure vision and increase the risk of complications like eye infections. If your child is very adamant on wearing them, make sure to take them to a Doctor of Optometry for a proper eye health assessment and fitting.
Many retailers, night markets, beauty salons, and online vendors dispense decorative lenses. Without custom fittings or directions for safe and proper care from an eye health professional, these consumers are at risk for serious eye health complications like corneal scratches, allergic reactions, conjunctivitis and other bacterial infections. Most of these complications are due to improper use and poor fit, and can lead to permanent damage to the eyes, including vision loss.
• Use iron-on reflective fabric or tape – or pick up a “Be seen. Be safe.” reflective sticker for children’s costumes and/or coats.
Another concern Doctors of Optometry warn parents about is pedestrian traffic injuries. “We want kids to be safe this Halloween, and that includes being visible to motorists,” says Dr. Stephen Taylor. “BC Doctors of Optometry encourage parents to pick up free “Be Seen. Be Safe.” reflective stickers for their children’s Halloween costumes.” The reflective stickers are available to parents across the province at a BC Doctor of Optometry’s office, whose locations are listed at www.bcdoctorsofoptometry. com.The reflective stickers are also provided to RCMP detachments. About 10 per cent of all pedestrian traffic injuries involve children six to 15 years old and occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Traditional Halloween activities such as trick-or-treating can be risky because
Here are some Halloween safety tips from BC DoCtors of optometry:
• Have a responsible adult accompany trick-or-treaters.
Frank Leonard claims he declared conflict Continued from Page A2
“I was concerned about my involvement in B.C. Public Pensions, who have a significant investment in Corix, and I declared that at CRD as well,” Leonard said. He said he excused himself from two CRD board discussions earlier this year where WorleyParsons was discussed. Desjardins said she has no memory of Leonard declaring a conflict of interest at the CRD board table. “Each time it comes up, it [declaring a conflict of interest] is probably something
he should do again and again. Why was he at a core area meeting in November,” Desjardins said. “I’m hopeful he’ll let us all know … so this can get cleared up.” Atwell released footage Thursday of Leonard attending a Nov. 28, 2013 core area liquid waste management committee meeting. Neither WorleyParsons or Corix were included on the agenda, though the committee did vote on a sub-marine pipeline contract in the amount of $412,940, awarded to a company called Mud Bay Drilling.
“I remember [committee member] Vicki Sanders couldn’t get to that meeting so she asked me to fill in. There was nothing on the agenda for me to worry about,” Leonard said. Leonard said it’s “unfortunate” Desjardins chose to weigh in on the accusation. “It’s not true. ... I’m being abundantly cautious,” Leonard said. “I really believe in integrity. My dad said the only thing I can leave office with is my last name, and that’s your reputation.” editor@vicnews.com
CBC journalist tackles science in film From mad scientists, to lunar landings, to outrageous weapons, science is gracing the big screen. But just what’s plausible, capable, or already happening? Join one of Canada’s best-known science journalists on Nov. 22 when the host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks,
Bob McDonald takes the stage at The Vic Theatre for a fun and fascinating exploration of the mad, the bad, and the good science as portrayed on the silver screen. Tickets are $35. Tickets and event information are available at TheVic.ca, or at the VFF head office, 1215 Blanshard St.
• Don’t wear a mask, use hypo-allergenic make-up instead – children need to see where they’re going. • Carry a flashlight. • Don’t crisscross the street while trick-or-treating – go down one side of the street to the end, then back on the other side. • Avoid costumes that restrict movement of the head, so children can still easily look both ways before crossing the street. • Ensure that the path to your door is well-lit for trick-or-treaters. • To avoid an eye injury or vision loss, stay clear of firecrackers and sparklers and keep young children away from them. Remember to “Be seen. Be safe.” and have a Happy Halloween!

Free teen festival planned for Pearkes Victoria News
All things teen come to the Pearkes Recreation Centre this weekend as Coast Capital Savings TeenFest celebrates the many local businesses and organizations supporting Victoria-area teens and their families. The free one-day exhibition, geared toward youth age 12 to 18 and their families, aims to connect teens and tweens with each other, their peers, their communities and community leaders. Visitors will find five different areas to explore – Life and Education, Cool Stuff, Fashion and Beauty, Health and Wellness and Technology and Gaming – along with workshops, entertainment, prize draws and more. “It’s just a really fun, cool place to come hang out for the day,” said Ali Berman, who co-founded the event with husband Wayne Berman. “We moved here four years ago from Toronto and it was hard for us to find some of the resources we were looking for,” said Berman, a mother of three. “Why not have a safe environment where they could learn about different activities and schools, about money, budgeting and investing for the future?” Featuring more than 100 booths, exhibitors range from community organizations like the Quadra Village Community Centre and Scouts Canada to education resources like Vancouver Island University and the Industry Training Authority. Those passionate about beauty and fashion

will find displays from Magnetic Nail Design, the Lizbell Agency and others, while outdoor enthusiasts will find exhibitors like ANIÁN Surfboards and Lyrics Skateshop and Studio, not to mention a mobile indoor skate park the size of a basketball court to try the latest tricks. “We have everything from paddleboarding to archery to pottery – it really runs the gamut,” Berman said. In fact, TeenFest is as much about doing and experiencing as it is about learning. Additional highlights include a Teen Talent Contest, interactive sports and gaming activities, and a host of teen performers, including 16-yearold Tristan Thomson, a Stelly’s student whose song Tidalwave is getting a lot of play, Nanaimo hip hop artist Sirreal, and Shon Burnett, the 12-yearold top-six finalist from YTV’s The Next Star 7 show. “We are so lucky to have so many talented youth who want to
come perform,” Berman said. Guests can relax in the White Spot Café, which is donating partial proceeds to the Kids Help Phone, and enter their name for a variety of prizes – including a $500 shopping spree give-away, courtesy of The Bay Centre. The first 500 guests will also receive swag bags. Interestingly, both teens and parents are in sync about the TeenFest experience, agreeing, “I can’t believe it’s free and I can’t believe all this is out there for us,” Berman said, crediting the community support they have received. “Truly our sponsors and our exhibitors are just such visionaries and they believe in what they’re trying to do.” Visit TeenFest from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 1 at Pearkes Rec Centre, 3100 Tillicum Rd., behind Tillicum Mall.

With fall upon us, local gardeners are busy tucking up their gardens for the year and making plans for next year’s bounty. For 50 years, the Esquimalt Garden Club has been an integral part of the local gardening scene. The club hosted the first flower show of the calendar year in Greater Victoria in 1964 in Jubilee Hall with an impressive 93 exhibits. In that year, the tradition of demonstrations of gardening techniques also began, often in conjunction with other organizations such as the Victoria Horticulture Society. Founding members of the club included Anne Wurtele and Hugh Brown, who donated a trophy in memory of his wife Florence who died in 1963. Each year the member that earned the most points in garden shows was presented with the Florence Brown Memorial trophy, which was discontinued some years ago as the club no longer holds parlour shows and flower competitions. The club has worked closely with municipal gardeners over the years, with members providing hanging baskets and roses for the gardens at Saxe Point and trees for Esquimalt Gorge Park and West Bay Park. The youth of the community have also benefited from the
Garden club’s roots planted in Esquimalt The second, also a climber and known as Dortmund, was planted in Freeman Ken Hill Park on Grafton Street. Residents of Esquimalt have benefited greatly from the work, knowledge and generosity of the garden club. If you’re a gardener and interested in joining this long established community group, please phone Paul Wickens-Jobling at 778265-5267. gregory.evans@esquimalt.ca

TV and Vision
Eye care experts generally agree: watching television will not harm your eyes or vision if the TV room is lit properly and if you follow a few viewing tips. In fact, there is usually less strain involved in TV viewing than in doing close work such as sewing or reading. Watching TV for long stretches of time can leave your eyes fatigued and now that the monsoons have arrived, most of us are spending more time inside. Here are a few hints to help make TV viewing more comfortable.
TV viewing tips: - Make sure your television set is properly installed and the antenna properly adjusted. - Place the set to avoid glare reflections from lamps, windows and other bright sources. - Adjust brightness and contrast controls to individual and/or viewer’s taste and comfort. - Have the set at approximately eye level. Avoid having to look up or down at the picture. - Avoid staring at the screen for lengthy periods Briefly look away from the picture, around the room or out the window. - Wear lenses prescribed for vision correction, if advised to do so by your eye care practitioner. - www.oakbayoptometry.com View from a distance of at least five times the Dr. Neil Paterson width of the television screen.

OUR VIEW
We’re winning cancer’s fight Over the last three issues the Victoria News has profiled families and health-care workers as part of our series Cancer and Families. The families we talked to have seen success in fighting this terrible disease. Childhood cancer is relatively uncommon. However, it remains the most common diseaserelated cause of death – more than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and AIDS combined. It is second only to injury-related deaths among Canadian children. But amazing progress has been made in treating childhood cancers, although their causes remain a mystery. Far more children are alive now than in 1950’s and fewer than half the number who died of cancer in a given year will be killed by cancer in 2014. Just since the mid 1970’s, survival rates for children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, the most common childhood cancer and one that in the 1950’s was always fatal, have increased to 85 per cent from 53 percent. Cure rates for some less common childhood cancers approach 100 per cent. Today, we know that cancer is not one disease, but at least 100 different diseases, perhaps even thousands of diseases, each unique to an individual. And that’s where the riddle remains. More research – and yes, money – is needed to defeat the scourge of cancer. And we all need to be more aware of the signs of cancer in order to beat it. More than half a century ago the Canadian Cancer Society, among others, said it believed early curable cancer often betrays itself by one of seven danger signals. They listed those as “a sore that does not heal, a lump or thickening, unusual bleeding or discharge, a change in a wart or mole, persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing, persistent hoarseness or cough, a change in normal bowel habits.” The job of conquering cancer is far from over, but to accomplish it will require the joint efforts of researchers, clinicians and especially every one of you.

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. ••• Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS
Balancing rights and safety Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent were not the only casualties of terror in Canada last week. A nation’s innocence died as Canadians unwillingly became part of international terror on our own soil. RCMP were already monitoring 90 people, including one of the two men who killed Canadian soldiers in sudden, unprovoked attacks. Security will increase as the terrorist attacks play into the existing lawand-order agenda of the governing Conservatives. More surveillance cameras is a given. Beefed-up security at airports and border crossings is inevitable. Who but the most ardent civil libertarians would oppose such measures when all signs point toward more terrorism within Canada? Last month, the spokesman for the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham called for attacks on Canadians. Abu Muhammad
Al-Adnani urged ISIS supporters to kill Canadians, Americans, Australians, French and other Europeans whether they are members of the military or civilians. Extra security to defend against such attacks will be expensive. Canadians will lose some civil liberties in a tradeoff for feeling, and hopefully being, safer. How far will the pendulum swing? How much will our country change from its reputation as a peacemaker? The most disturbing aspect of both incidents is that both killers were Canadians. Perhaps the most insidious aspect of terrorism is that radicalized fanatics can walk among us undetected, especially if they are Canadian citizens. Besides whatever increase in domestic suspicion that would naturally occur, this cannot help but raise intolerance toward anyone in this country with an odd name,
suspicious accent or swarthy skin. This will provide an excuse for anyone already inclined toward intolerance, outright racism or paranoia. Finding a healthy balance in the times that will come will not be easy. Maybe
we were just fooling ourselves, content with our international reputation as the nice guys in the long shadow of our U.S. neighbours. Still, nothing unites a people like an external threat, and we could come out of this more united.
How we react to this threat will say volumes about Canadians. The trick will be protecting ourselves from fanatics without becoming extremists ourselves. Mark Allan Courtenay Mark Allan is a former Black Press editor, now retired.

Greater Victoria Senior
Agency seeks better conditions for B.C. seniors Travis Paterson News staff
Submitted
Isobel Mackenzie is leading the newly initiated Office of the Seniors Advocate.
Life in B.C. should get better for seniors, at least that’s the plan. Last week the province introduced Isobel Mackenzie as the official figurehead for the newly commissioned Office of the Seniors Advocate. The agency is up and running, and has put out a call for public input into seniors’ issues in the province. Mackenzie addressed the media and public in Vancouver on Oct. 22, saying she’ll use the powers granted to her under the Seniors Advocate Act to demand public reporting on the quality and accessibility of key services to B.C. seniors. “One of the first things my office will do is commission independent, province-wide client satisfaction surveys for all publicallyfunded residential care facilities, home support clients and HandyDART users,” she said. Dignity was a focus of her speech, as she highlighted a need to improve conditions for vulnerable seniors, pointed to inconsistent supports and services for seniors in B.C., and that the pub-
lic deserves to know if the needs of the most frail and elderly are being met. “This is a significant undertaking that has not been done on this scale elsewhere in Canada, but I believe it is necessary to assure B.C. seniors and their families that their voice is being heard.” In addition to the announcement, Mackenzie released her first report, The Journey Begins: Together We Can Do Better.
Speak your mind ■ To contact the office visit the website at seniorsadvocatebc.ca, email info@seniorsadvocatebc.ca, or call 250-952-3181. ■ To contact by mail: 1st Floor, 1515 Blanshard Street, PO Box 9651 STN PROV GOVT, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9P4. The report reflects her initial findings after meeting and talking with thousands of seniors, their family members, service providers and other stakeholders from B.C. over the past six months. It also highlights seniors’ concerns about housing, transporta-
tion, income supports, residential care, home support and a pervasive culture of ageism that thwarts the independence of seniors and erodes their sense of dignity. Mackenzie’s first major review will respond to the issue of housing, which was the most significant issue she heard from seniors in over 26 communities throughout B.C. “As expected, almost all seniors want to remain in their own home for as long as they can. However, seniors feel anxious that increasing costs and decreasing services are major impediments to their ability to live independently.” I heard many stories of challenges with accessing transportation, with the cost of rental housing or home repairs, with the availability of suitable housing in more rural and remote communities, and with infrequent or nonexistent support services,” Mackenzie said. “Clearly, there are a number of areas where seniors and their families are struggling, and the inconsistency in supports and services depending where you live in the province,” she added. reporter@saanichnews.com

Finding time for the kids of Child Haven Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria’s Maggie MacLaren has found a second calling as a dedicated volunteer for Child Haven since 2006. “Every kid in Child Haven has a story and most of them you don’t want to hear,” Maclaren says. Child Haven is a charitable organization that houses and educates children in need in India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh. Maclaren spends most of her annual visit to the largest complex, a 286-kid outfit in Kaliyampoondi, India. “My first time there it struck me how happy these kids are. There’s no whining. Their sense of gratitude is overwhelming. I think they know where they’d be if they weren’t at Child Haven.” During her visits MacLaren does whatever needs to be done, which is mostly teaching English, but is anything, from mentoring to cutting veg-
atables and cleaning up. When she arrives, her suitcases are brimful with arts, games and school supplies for the children. “There’s no structure for volunteers, you find your niche, but there’s always work to be done. “It’s changed my life.” McLaren moved to the Oaklands neighbourhood earlier this year from Parksville, where she left behind a garden she’d spent years building up. Orignally from Toronto, MacLaren spent time in the U.S.A. as a television stage manager before shifting into the hotel business and garden photography for the long running Sunset Magazine. She’ll be speaking at Child Haven’s annual dinner, Sunday, Nov. 24, at the First Unitarian Church, 5575 West Saanich Rd. Tickets are available through Tanner’s Books, Munro’s Books, or through childhaven.ca/fundraiser_ victoria_fall.html. reporter@saanichnews.com

Community Spotlight: SENIORS
Ask the Expert Seniors’ Edition Q: What are some of the main matters I should be addressing when investigating Retirement Communities? A: 1. Are you planning for today or tomorrow? Many of us
may be concerned primarily about our immediate needs; however, shopping for a retirement community should also include consideration to age in place. Prospective residents should ask: If I can no longer drive, will I be able to get to appointments? What emergency response set-ups do you have? Is there a community bus or car service? Can meals be sent to my suite if I feel unwell? 2. Is my family welcome to visit anytime? Many seniors are closely connected to their extended family and wish them to have open access to their new “home”. While some retirement communities welcome family visits and provide guest suites and guest meals, others may have restrictions in place. Check the practice and costs around guest meal reservations and overnight stays and activities before you make a decision. 3. Is the bottom line the bottom line? Retirement is all about living on a fixed income. While your monthly rent may be consistent, will there be extra charges for telephone, internet or parking. How are you billed for hair salon, alcoholic beverages, guest meals or special activities? What costs are associated with the guest suite and guest meals? Knowing your exact monthly costs is an important part of managing your finances. Please stay tuned for Part B - See November’s Senior’s Section of the paper

Sorry, 75 is not the end I
f Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has his way I’ll be hauled off to the abattoir for aging wordsmiths in less than five years. Death at 75, the privileged professor says, is the way to go in a society where quality of life ends abruptly for most seniors one decade after they receive their first Old Age Security cheque. Dr. Emanuel heads the Department of Medical Ethics at the University of PennBrian sylvania. Clearly, he has yet to experience a moment precious enough to endow him with an unquenchable thirst for life at any cost. “Seventy-five. That’s how long I want to live,” he declares. His very public argument that seniors over 75 are a waste of space has anxious elders passing wind across North America. The good doctor says: “Here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long … renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived.” By the way, Dr. Emanuel is disgustingly fit at 57 with zero chronic health issues and has recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Dr. Emanuel has old folks like me in his sights. At 70, my chi-
ropractor gets a nice chunk of my pension. I love to languish in my armchair with a good book. Walking the dogs constitutes vigorous exercise. I intend to be a drain on the health care system as long as I have breath. I’m known as a North American “immortal.” Apparently, I am aware of my hastening decline and choose restricted activities and projects. I aspire Kieran to do less and less. In the doctor’s words my “canvas is now tiny.” Once vital community leaders, the 75-plus set is “happy to cultivate avocational interests, to take up bird watching, bicycle riding, pottery, and the like,” Dr. Emanuel scoffs. “And then, as walking becomes harder and the pain of arthritis limits the fingers’ mobility, life comes to center around sitting in the den reading or listening to books on tape.” And, I say: So? Dr. Emanuel promises not to try and prolong his life after 75 … no treatment if there is a cancer, no bypass surgery, no flu shots, no antibiotics. This I applaud. “I think this manic desperation to endlessly extend life is misguided and potentially
At 70, I’m known as a North American “immortal.” Apparently, I am aware of my hastening decline and choose restricted activities and projects. I aspire to do less and less. In the doctor’s words my “canvas is now tiny.” destructive,” he declares. In Emanuel’s universe most of us have made our best contribution to society at 40 and our last meaningful contribution at 60. “The fact is that by 75, creativity, originality, and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us.” Wheelchair bound physicist Stephen Hawking, 72, enduring the rages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), might beg to differ with the help of his voice synthesizer. With the help of public health care and great pharmaceuticals I may still be alive in 2032 and get a wheezing chuckle when Dr. Emanuel turns 75 and is begging for pain relief drugs and praying for medical miracles to prolong his tenure. reporter@saanichnews.com
