HOpe Centre to tackle mental health New $62M facility aims to battle stigma of psychiatric illness JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Politicians, funders and mental health advocates from the North Shore gathered Monday inside the newly completed $62-million HOpe Centre to celebrate the milestone the new facility represents. For those living with mental illness, the new centre will provide a new standard for a “respectful, dignified” place to seek treatment, said Dr. Allan Burgmann, head of Lion’s Gate Hospital’s in-patient psychiatry program. “Having mental illness is kind of like being plopped into a small boat
and cut adrift in a torrid sea,” he said. The new facility has been designed to offer a safe harbour, he said. The glass, light and air of the HOpe Centre’s design are also a powerful reminder of another mission behind the long-awaited mental health centre — to combat the stigma of mental illness and bring it into the mainstream. “The building is big and open and inviting. It’s located in the community rather than being nestled away, hidden,” said Burgmann. In addition to the 26-bed inpatient psychiatric unit, the centre will also house mental health outpatient services, the new ambulance station, a community resource centre for families on mental health issues, a clinical research trials unit and a University of British Columbia medical education centre for training See A safe page 3
Woman meets N. Van man who saved her life STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com
Oleh Ilynckyj was walking through Ambleside Park to go for a swim the day of the Coho Festival, but he had no idea he was about to save someone’s life. On Sept. 7, the North Vancouver resident was heading into the water to take advantage of the last remnants of summer weather when he stopped to have a listen to Adam Woodall Band’s performance at the Coho beach bar. That’s when he looked over to see Susan Olivier making the universal symbol of someone choking – clasping her hands around her throat – and immediately asked if he could help. When she nodded in agreement, he utilized training he had received years prior and performed the Heimlich maneuver on her. By the third try, the piece of corn lodged deep in her
throat cutting off the air completely came out. “I never did get to go swimming,” Ilynckyj joked. Everything happened so quickly that Olivier didn’t get her rescuer’s name or see his face before she was rushed off to first aid by a medic. In an effort to thank the person who saved her, Olivier wrote to the North Shore News to thank her mysterious helper. When Ilynckyj responded to the letter, Olivier asked to meet so she could thank him in person. The two reunited for the first time since the incident Thursday night back in Ambleside Park, close to where they met before. “Wow, you look great,” Ilynckyj immediately said to her. “Better than the last time you See First page 5

future doctors. A peer support program and life skills training for those with persistent, acute mental illness will also be provided at the centre. The goal, said Burgmann, is to provide successful treatment that will get patients back into the community living full lives. That journey is often not an easy one, those gathered Monday acknowledged. Mental illness is something most people have “difficulty explaining, rationalizing, getting our heads around,” said Health Minister Terry Lake, before taking a tour of the new facility. “No parent ever thinks they’ll have to face mental health challenges with their kids,” he said. “It’s something that’s very difficult for families.” For decades, the job of helping people with mental illness has been made more difficult by the antiquated psychiatric ward at Lions Gate known as “A2” which first opened its doors in 1929. The four-storey building, which the HOpe
Centre replaces, has been beset with physical problems, including inadequate mechanical and electrical systems, infestations of mice and insects and water leaks that created ideal conditions for mould. It is a bleak place, which some patients in the past compared to the setting of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. With up to five beds in a room, the old psychiatric ward offered little privacy. That also struck major HOpe Centre funder Robert Ho when he visited the old building. “There’s only a few rooms,” he said. “It was gloomy and dark.” Burgmann compares being admitted to the old psychiatric unit through the hospital’s new emergency department as akin to being welcomed to the lobby of the Hotel Vancouver, then “taken to the back alley, put in a cab and taken over to a Downtown Eastside hotel.” For some of his fundraising talks, “I’ve had a picture of an inpatient bed beside a Downtown Eastside hotel room,” said Burgmann. “There wasn’t a lot of discernable

donations raised through the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, which clocked contributions from over 5,000 individuals and organizations. The biggest donations included $10 million from West Vancouver philanthropists Robert and Greta Ho, after whom the new HOpe Centre is named, and $4 million from philanthropist Djavad Mowafaghian, whose
West Vancouver businessman Robert Ho’s fortune is not a flashy kind of wealth. It doesn’t include sports cars, bling or get featured in the tabloids. Ho’s wealth is of the quiet variety that flies under the radar and acknowledges that being “comfortable,” as Ho puts it, carries responsibilities to the greater good. “Before you can receive, you must learn how to give,” is the family motto that was passed down to Ho by his grandfather. “All our family members practise that.” Ho, now 82, is from one of Hong Kong’s most prominent families. He is also the local philanthropist whose early $10 million

The communal areas offer large windows and views, and there are skylights and warm wood finishing. Patients being discharged will also be able to connect with community programs on-site before they leave — rather than
being expected to find them later. “It’s a much more respectful, dignified and aesthetic place for people to be treated,” said Burgmann. The new provincial facility has only been made possible through sizeable private donations. Of the $62.2 million price tag, the provincial government contributed $38.2 million. But a whopping $24 million came from private

assess the situation and give appropriate first aid will depend on your first aid skills,” she said. “Knowing what to do could save a life.” St. John Ambulance offers a variety of first aid courses, and some take as little as four hours.

saw me, I’m sure,” Olivier added. Ilynckyj, a lawyer specializing in personal injury and health law, said he was able to help her because she was calm and allowed him to. “It all happened pretty quickly,” he added. “I asked somebody to get the medic and then we just worked together right away.” But Olivier, a teacher’s assistant from Abbotsford, said she was only able to relax and stay calm because he was there to help. While Ilynckyj was reluctant to accept too much praise for his act, one of his three sons was happy to see his dad’s good deed recognized. “I’m pretty sure if Vancouver had 500 people like my father walking around, we would be voted ‘world’s friendliest city’ year after year,” said Mica Prazak, Ilynckyj’s son living and working as a teacher in Chile, in an email to the North Shore News. “He is my ongoing example of a humble talent.” Prazak said he had no idea his father knew first aid, and was proud of how his lack of hesitation to help someone in need “made such a powerful difference.” Sarah Mogensen, of St. John’s Ambulance North Shore and Sea to Sky

VIEWPOINT PUBLISHED BY NORTH SHORE NEWS A DIVISION OF LMP PUBLICATION LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 100-126 EAST 15TH STREET, NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. V7L 2P9. DOUG FOOT, PUBLISHER. CANADIAN PUBLICATIONS MAIL SALES PRODUCT AGREEMENT NO. 40010186.
Beacon of HOpe T he sparkling new facility for treatment of mental illness at Lions Gate Hospital is aptly named. The stunning $62 million centre reflects light, transparency and warmth. It’s about being part of the community and reaching out for help, rather than hidden out of sight in the dark. The new centre says much about our changing attitudes to mental illness. It’s also been needed for a long time. The old psychiatric ward at Lions Gate was notorious for its terrible state, which included lack of privacy, mould and insect infestations. If there was ever a place that conjured visions of the cruel words “insane asylum,” the A2 ward would be a candidate. In contrast, the new building speaks of decency and respect. An obvious benefit is that good
facilities attract good staff. An on-site medical school will only add to that. Of course it’s notable that of the $62 million needed to build the centre, $24 million had to be raised privately. Health care used to be a public responsibility. And while the North Shore owes a debt of gratitude to its donors, the model does raise worrying questions about the government’s expectations. Similarly, bricks and mortar are good photo ops. But provision of adequate ongoing operating funding for mental health — including programs in the community — is where the rubber really hits the road. We’ll celebrate vision represented by the new HOpe Centre. But we’ll also watch for the province’s continued commitment to put in the dollars to make it work.
District council’s dirty little secret “The vast majority of the mass of the universe seems to be missing” —William J. Broad With the autumnal equinox behind us, fall is here. Just as surely, the approaching municipal election season has already kicked into gear. Municipal voting day is Saturday, Nov. 15. Things will look a little different the day after that. Several councillors in the city and the district are hanging up their spurs — including Alan Nixon in the district and Guy Heywood in the city. There’s been scuttlebutt at recent community association meetings that two other sitting district councillors may also wrap it up. That’ll suit residents fed up with this gaggle of land developer-poodles.

been hid, as Bob Dylan says, is the dark matter in all this. In 2012, B.C.’s Ombudsperson Kim Carter spoke on the issue of open municipal meetings — the cornerstone of local government and the element that assures decision-making is accessible to the public. However, in the district the facts speak differently. In response to a freedom of information request in late spring inquiring about the practice of “closed special meetings”, the reply from municipal hall was disturbing. Traditionally, closed meetings — the Latin is “in camera” — are for sensitive discussion of law, labour and land issues. Because senior hiring, personnel evaluations, legal issues, or touchy property matters can be involved, legal advisors are often present.
During my own term on council the need for such sessions was vigorously debated, normally with the late-Ernie Crist arguing heatedly for the public’s right to know. If we held a closed meeting, it was for a damned important reason. What’s suddenly so different? Attending regular council meetings as a resident, you have an opportunity to stand up and speak on almost anything germane to local government business and policy. There are also public hearings and meetings of the committee as a whole, which are more focused on specific topics. If you care, you get to know what’s going on. The district letter informed the springtime letter-writer of the growing amount of council’s time spent in closed meetings. What turned up was
jarring: in 2012, 19 regular council meetings totalled 47 hours of open meeting time. But a further 57 closed meetings totalled 49 hours of business being conducted with restricted access. In an age of “open government” and “transparency” more of our civic business is really getting done behind closed doors than in public view. In 2013 it got worse. A total of 22 regular council meetings equalled 49 hours of open business; 47 closed meetings resulted in 81 hours of closed door sessions. Why this increased reliance on secret meetings?

LNG dollars would be welcome here Dear Editor: Re:West Vancouver Opposes LNG Export Plan (July 30). Is B.C.’s super, natural tourism industry threatened by the LNG sector? Absolutely not. Opponents of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry would have us believe that our appreciation for pristine oceans and clean air is at risk if LNG tankers join the marine traffic already travelling
our coastline. Anti-industry activists waging a war against Woodfibre LNG’s proposed LNG processing and export facility outside Squamish, are taking their fight to mayors and councillors in an effort to declare their opposition to the project.These activists who engage in their own brand of political spin, are not being held accountable for what they say, and have successfully rammed through decisions without
proper debate. Two municipal councils, including West Vancouver council, recently passed resolutions opposing the Woodfibre LNG proposal before even hearing from the proponent. Not to mention, these resolutions seek to limit shipping in Howe Sound, when not unlike Burrard Inlet, shipping has been happening safely for decades. Local MP John Weston is right when he said elected officials should
Closed meetings alarming From page 6 across the inlet insisted would be good for us. What’s happened even remotely similar with this mayor and council that secrets are concealed so often? High-rise redevelopment deals in Lynn Valley and Lower Capilano? The colossal giveaway of building height for high-rises at the end of the Ironworkers bridge that not even the developers imagined was possible? It’s not normal doing municipal business this way. John Ralston Saul, one of Canada’s foremost public thinkers, has called this management style part of the “corporate coup d’état” that’s eating away at the foundations of our democracy.Yes, there are polite, quiet announcements of decisions made in special closed meetings, but
what’s the story behind those decisions and who benefits? Council-watchers in the Federation of North Vancouver Community Associations (FONVCA) had this on their latest agenda. They’re alarmed. In the city, Kerry Morris is challenging Mayor Darrell Mussatto and the debate is squarely about ethics too. Morris has a well-thought out program. It’s on the web. Mussatto has the incumbency and long experience that’s tough to beat. Four-time former city councillor Bill Bell is back in the running and so is his wife — it’s a family affair! Iani Makris, Lower Lonsdale business proprietor and owner of Anatoli’s Souvlaki is also stepping up, as is business manager Matt Clarke. Expect a couple of new faces here. Amalgamation? It’s an election time smoke
screen to cover the ugly big developments district council’s beancounters slickered through and that have voters ornery. Even if it makes sense, it’s like asking Switzerland to join Romania. At candidates meetings, focus instead on the glaring lack of truly affordable housing for young people. They’ll tell you, “If you think the Stanley Cup riots in town were just about hockey, you don’t know what’s happening out there.” It’s a critical generational issue that began with federal Conservative cuts. Who’s willing to fight for a rebirth of CMHC-style cooperative housing? It’s the workable solution when land values encourage ownership into the hands of offshore speculators instead for our local, grown kids. poeticlicence.ns@gmail.com

Before receiving, learn how to give From page 3

donation to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation launched efforts to build the recently-completed HOpe Centre for treatment of psychiatric illness. That donation was key in building momentum for the project, although Ho likes to point out there were also 5,000 other private donors. Still, with a few notable exceptions — like fellow North Shore philanthropist Djavad Mowafaghian, who donated $4 million to the project — most of the other contributors aren’t in Ho’s financial orbit. In recent years, Ho and his wife Greta donated another $15 million towards a new research centre at Vancouver General Hospital. He says picking projects to support isn’t complicated. “My philosophy’s always been it’s not what I want to give, it’s what’s needed,” he says. In the case of Lions Gate Hospital, he asked staff and the hospital foundation — which raises money for equipment and capital projects — what was needed. They pointed him to the dilapidated “A2”
psychiatric ward. “It’s about to fall apart,” they told him. Ho’s three visits to the facility convinced him of their cause. Ho said he hopes the new facility that bears his name will help people to talk openly about mental illness — and the need for treatment. He saw how mental illness affects families when the daughter of one of his close friends committed suicide. But until recently, mental illness wasn’t something that could be openly discussed, he says. “In my generation and the generation above, it’s been a discussion you hold behind closed doors,” he says. Ho’s philosophy of giving — and the start of his family fortune — came from his grandfather, Sir Robert Ho Tung, who “started with nothing as a child” in Hong Kong, said Ho. When he was young, his grandfather picked metal off the streets to sell by the pound, as a way to make money. A school master who spotted him and “who thought he had a future”
invited the boy to go to school, where he learned Chinese and English. Today his grandfather’s foundation — the result of successful business ventures — is still the biggest philanthropic foundation in Hong Kong. “I’m just following his footsteps,” says Ho. His grandfather imparted a certain philosophy to Ho, including keeping a low profile: “You should be generous with money when you give it to a worthy cause, but you yourself shouldn’t be driving around in a Ferrari,” Ho explains. Ho’s modest West Vancouver office in an older commercial development reflects that. “We are comfortable,” he says. “We’re not big time spenders, put it that way.” Ho and his wife, and their two sons — one lives in Hong Kong, the other in London — all give money to their own philanthropic causes.The family also donates towards projects promoting Chinese art and culture and the philosophy of Buddhism through the Robert R.N. Ho Family Foundation. It is through this foundation that the family is sponsoring the
Forbidden City exhibit featuring art from the court of Chinese emperors, which begins at the Vancouver Art Gallery next month. Ho hasn’t always been a businessman. Before taking over the family business, Ho had a career as a reporter in the United States. It started when he was in high school and sat next to a sports writer at a soccer game.The writer got Ho a summer job at the newspaper. He went on to get his masters degree from Columbia University, to write for a paper in Pittsburgh, and work as a White House correspondent for National Geographic. He eventually returned to Hong Kong, taking over the running of his family’s property and investment companies. In 1989 Ho emigrated to Canada.While his business interests span the globe he still lives in West Vancouver “up the hill.” “This is where my home is,” he says. It’s also where Ho and his wife are continuing the family tradition of contributing their money to those who are in need. “That’s what we’ve been doing all our lives,” he says.

Notice of Public Hearing Proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 4662, 2010, Amendment Bylaw No. 4791, 2014
(regarding 959 21st Street and 2151 Gordon Avenue, Kiwanis Seniors’ Housing Society of West Vancouver, proposed amendment to CD5 Zone to correct maximum permitted Floor Area Ratio and site coverage for Area 2 of the Kiwanis site)
Notice is given that a PUBLIC HEARING will be held in the Council Chamber of the municipal hall of The Corporation of the District of West Vancouver at 750 17th Street, West Vancouver BC on Monday, October 6, 2014 at 7 p.m. for the purpose of allowing the public to make representations to Council respecting matters contained in the proposed bylaw as described below. Applicant: Kiwanis Seniors’ Housing Society of West Vancouver Subject Lands: 959 21st Street and 2151 Gordon Avenue
Legal Description: Lot 1 District Lot 775 Group 1

The willingness of the Hos to donate such a large amount early in the fundraising drive was crucial to the project’s success, said Mike Nader, chief operating officer at Vancouver Coastal Health. “In being able to think about mental health at a time when mental health

Purpose: The proposed bylaw would amend the
CD5 (959 21st Street) zone to allow for a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.35 and a maximum site coverage of 50% within Area 2 of the Kiwanis site.
Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment: If
adopted, proposed Zoning Bylaw No. 4662, 2010, Amendment Bylaw No. 4791, 2014 would amend the CD5 (959 21st Street) zone to allow for a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.35 and a maximum site coverage of 50% within Area 2 of the Kiwanis site. The proposed rezoning is to correct the maximum permitted FAR and site coverage for Area 2 of the Kiwanis site. When the Lands were rezoned in 2011 to create Area 3, the FAR and site coverage for Area 2 should have been adjusted to account for the loss of land that was re-designated as Area 3. No new development is proposed nor would any additional construction result from the rezoning. It is important to note that this is not the result of overbuilding or not complying with permits. The proposed rezoning is to bring the existing buildings into compliance with the Zoning Bylaw.
Enquiries: All enquiries regarding the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment may be directed to the West Vancouver Planning Department at municipal hall or by calling 604-925-7055. Copies of the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment and other relevant documents that the Council may consider in deciding whether to adopt the bylaw may be inspected from September 19, 2014 to October 6, 2014 at the municipal hall at 750 17th Street, West Vancouver BC on regular business days (Monday to Friday except for statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Copies may also be inspected at the public hearing. For convenience only, some of the documents may also be available for viewing at westvancouver.ca or at the West Vancouver Memorial Library at 1950 Marine Drive, West Vancouver BC (phone 604-925-7400 for current information on library hours of operation). All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will be given an opportunity to be heard and/or to present written submissions at the public hearing on the above noted date. Written submissions may, prior to the public hearing, be: • sent by mail to Mayor and Council, District of West Vancouver, 750 17th Street, West Vancouver BC V7V 3T3; • sent by email to Mayor and Council at mayorandcouncil@westvancouver.ca; or • delivered to the office of the Manager, Legislative Services/Municipal Clerk, at the District of West Vancouver Municipal Hall at 750 17th Street, West Vancouver BC and must be received no later than 4 p.m. on October 6, 2014. Technical issues affecting receipt of electronic submissions may occur so persons relying on this means of transmittal do so at their own risk. Written submissions received for the public hearing regarding the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will be included in the public information package for Council’s consideration and for the public record. Submissions received after the close of the public hearing will not be considered by Council. S. Scholes, Municipal Clerk September 19, 2014

was not talked about freely and openly,” he said, “they were cool enough to make this a focus and help drive this forward.” The medical school — which will train new doctors in a variety of disciplines, not just psychiatry — also offers a big boost to Lions Gate, said Burgmann. “You get better care in a teaching hospital,” he said. The school will also help in recruiting doctors to the North Shore. Said Dr. Apu Chakraborty, head of community psychiatry, “If you train in a centre, you want to stay there.” Burgmann has bigger hopes for the centre in the future. Half of the third floor of the HOpe Centre remains undedicated space and won’t be opened when it starts taking patients in November. It’s where Burgmann would like to open 10 more in-patient beds specifically dedicated to youth and children with mental illness. See 10-bed page 11

10-bed youth ward still on the wish list From page 10 Currently there is no dedicated space for those patients. “Some of them get admitted to the adult (psychiatric) ward, which isn’t ideal,” said Burgmann, and “some of them get admitted to the pediatric ward” where it is more difficult to access specialized psychiatric help. Burgmann would also like to see some dedicated space for older geriatric psychiatric patients. So far neither of those projects has funding, however. Lake said Monday those requests will have to be considered in the context of other demands for health care dollars.
“We’d love to be able to do everything that we have demands for,” he said. “Of course we have a limited amount of money, even though it’s $17 billion and 42 per cent of our provincial budget.” Lake said any new psychiatric services will have to be prioritized by the health authority within its budget. “We’ll have to wait and have that discussion at a later date,” he said. Lake told dignitaries Monday that seeing the new mental health centre open should give people cause to hope. “Sometimes you get bogged down in life and you think there are challenges that you just

NV Grinder steps up NorthVan woman aims to log 168 Grinds in a month in support of B.C. Children’s Hospital ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
When it comes to the Grouse Grind, North Vancouver’s SarahJane Tomlinson is unstoppable. Tomlinson was the firstplace women’s finisher in June’s day-long Multi Grouse Grind Challenge, completing 13 ascents, two off the mark of first-place men’s finisher Idar Karlsen, 69, who completed 15. In August, she spent seven days fundraising and successfully broke West Vancouver resident Jason Chong’s record of 57 climbs completed in a week, doing 58, in support of B.C. Children’s Hospital, she says. Rather than rest on her laurels and revel in her success, Tomlinson, 47, set a new goal for herself at the beginning of September, aiming to break the record of the most Grouse Grinds completed in a month, which currently sits at 167. The record is also held by Chong, according to Tomlinson . “I wanted to take on the challenge as I felt I
failed in my fundraising efforts doing my 58 Grinds in a week. This time I had cards and flyers printed. I still also had the goal of raising more funds than last year, $5,500,” she says. As of Thursday, Tomlinson, who works for First Yacht Services Inc. in an admin position, had completed 110 ascents and raised almost $5,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital as part of her initiative, dubbed the September Grouse Grind Challenge. “My goal was to reach 168. I realized after my first week I was unlikely to make it, but I never gave up trying. Every night I would do the figures and think if I can only make up blah blah number I will be back on track. As of today I have completed 110 Grinds. I am hoping I can at least complete 150 by the end of the month. . . . Eight a day for the rest of the month,” she says. Tomlinson is also serving as a Grind for Kids ambassador. Through her actions she hopes to lead by example and encourage other community members to get involved in the annual campaign in

Would you like to lose between 10 & 15lbs in just 30 days?
Make this fall a healthy one and join our new 30 day fat blast challenge! At Team Fitness in North Vancouver, their goal is to get the whole community healthier and fitter, no matter how big or small the challenge may be. And when you join their new“30 day fat blast challenge”or their“90 days to a new you program” you will not only get great expert advice, they will also provide you with a personalised meal program and action plan to help you achieve your short and long term goals. Tracy’s story………. “In the summer/fall of 2013 I hit my rock bottom. I was the heaviest I had ever been and I was missing out on activities my husband and sons were participating in. I was just plain miserable.
“In the summer/fall of 2013 I hit my rock bottom. I was the heaviest I had ever been…” I had been successful in the past losing a bit of weight but as soon as I quit dieting it all came back and a little more. I needed something different so I searched“weight loss challenge” on google and Team Fitness popped up. They had an idea for a new program for larger clients that wanted to lose 60 to 100 lbs. That was me all right I had 113lbs to lose. The program included a meal plan and weekly individual or group workout sessions. I loved the group; we all had a common goal and looked forward to working out together each week. When I first looked at the meal plan, to be honest it worried me, it wasn’t anything like I was used to eating even when I had been on a successful diet in the past. I wasn’t sure I could do it but since I committed to this TF+ program I thought I better give it my best effort. After 10 days of sticking to the plan it actually got easier and the 3 group workouts per week really added to my willpower and determination. I never felt anything like it before. Working out and sticking to the meal plan gave me energy, strength and I not only enjoyed the workouts but

craved the feeling I got from doing them. My willpower soared and my temptations literally disappeared. After 3 months I lost 29 lbs and after 7 months I was down 64 lbs. In Aug 2013 I couldn’t run from my house to my truck, in May of 2014 I ran the BMO Vancouver ½ marathon with a TF teammate and we completed it. In May 2015 I plan to run it again at my goal weight and a little faster. I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not found Team Fitness. The experience changed my life for the better in so many ways. I feel great, my family now has to keep up with me and I made some new lifelong new friends.

SENIORS
Ensure your meds are right for you It’s been estimated that approximately 85 per cent of people over 65 years of age use prescription drugs. A recent national study found that almost two-thirds of seniors take five or more drugs a day and one-quarter take a whopping 10 or more. These numbers do not include non-prescription medications such as overthe-counter painkillers, herbal medicines and vitamins. A new study from the Therapeutics Initiative, an independent group that provides practical information on pharmaceuticals in B.C., found that B.C. doctors are continuing to prescribe multiple medications to seniors even though research suggests doing so can be harmful. The prescribing of multiple medications for one patient, especially seniors, is called polypharmacy. There are, of course, guidelines in place for doctors when prescribing medications to patients. It seems to me that a guideline that says it is proper to prescribe five or 10 or more prescriptions to a patient isn’t worth the prescription pad it’s written on. Now I’m not suggesting that prescription drugs aren’t a good thing. We know that advances in pharmacology have brought huge benefits in treating a wide spectrum of ailments and improve quality of life. And sometimes it’s not the drugs themselves that are the problem. For example, we routinely give drugs to people who probably don’t need them. The rate of antidepressant use among seniors in facilities is three times higher than the rate for seniors living
“I have difficulty managing in my home on my own.”
Tom Carney
Older andWiser in the community and antipsychotic use is nine times higher. And we continue to give drugs to people who don’t benefit from them. A recent B.C. study shows that thousands of Canadians with mild high blood pressure are being put on drugs that increase the risk of falls and hip fractures, yet have no proven benefits. When the folks at the Therapeutics Initiative tell us that we are overmedicating seniors, we need to pay attention. Here is the challenge we face: as we age we are more likely to develop more chronic conditions and to see more specialists and health-care providers. There are new drug treatments for which none existed previously. And treating people with drugs is almost always cheaper than treating them in hospital. Given that, everything points to seniors being prescribed more medications not less. So, what to do? I think seniors who want to be proactive about their own health can take the initiative here. My view is that once a year seniors, family members and caregivers should have a conversation with their physician about the potential benefit and harm that comes with each drug they are taking. Seniors should know
what medications they are taking and why. When patients are prescribed a new medication they should ask their pharmacist to review the standard risks that come with taking any medication — including risks that one medication might conflict with another, some medications might have adverse reactions and some have severe side effects. Then, at least, you’ll know that the medication you have been prescribed is right for you. Tom Carney is the former executive director of the Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society. Ideas for future columns are welcome. tomcarney@telus.net

A friend told me he just bought his second revenue property. “I’d like to give all this away one day,” he said, pointing to the pile of paperwork that inevitably comes with running one’s own business. “I’m hoping the tenants will pay off the mortgages for me.” My friend is in his early 50s, and his wife works with him. Their two sons are still in school and occasionally help out in the business, “although I wish they would do more so I could pay them more and shift more income into their lower tax bracket,” my friend says. Such income-splitting allows the boys to then pay for their own clothing and similar personal expenses with lower-taxed dollars than if their parents paid, which is a strategy that can save the family up to thousands of dollars over the years. But back to the real estate investing. “Many individuals

Money Matters have grown rich through part-time involvement in real estate, probably more than have done so through the stock market,” says Pat McKeough, publisher of The Successful Investor newsletter series, in one of his online pieces. “However, that’s mainly because of three key
factors that are easy to overlook: leverage, higher risk and sweat equity,” he notes. In other words, it’s usually easy to borrow a large part of the price of real estate, which can work for or against you, depending on which way prices go. Other risk factors include the costs of buying, managing and selling the property, as well as changes on the street and in the “hood,” from unpleasant neighbours to altered zoning. Sweat equity includes dealing with tenants, maintaining the property, doing the accounting and other paperwork, and so on. Paying others to do this
can get expensive. “Owning revenue property is a cross between an investment and a part-time job,” explains McKeough. You can make money, but be prepared for the risks and work. And consider commercial, even industrial, property as well as the various types of residential property. The rules and risks are a bit different, but could be a better match for some investors’ temperaments. Mike Grenby is a columnist and independent personal financial advisor; he’ll answer questions in this column as space allows but cannot reply personally. Email: mike@grenby.com

One thing about Chile: I rarely fail to be impressed on several levels. This time it was a quick look at some recent and less recent comparisons of a few (in most cases) premium Chilean wines. And that in itself is an interesting exercise because, to be fair, it wasn’t until the last decade that even the Chileans began to use “premium” and “Chilean” in the same phrase. Also, as Rhys Pender (who has a Master of Wine qualification) notes, “Robert Parker only started to include Chile in his vintage ratings from 2004.” Pender and Koyle Family Estate winemaker Cristobal Undurraga presented an impressive lineup that underscored a few points about Chile that we tend to take for granted. The country enjoys a well-deserved reputation for vintage consistency, a product of its benign climate and low rainfall; for its rapid adoption of sustainable farming on a much larger scale than elsewhere (except for New Zealand, perhaps); and for applying itself seriously to hone its viticultural practices. Pender suggests the latter happens in any new wine region: “first you learn how to make good wine. Then you go back and do what it takes to
Tim Pawsey
Notable Potables make great wine.” What struck me about this lineup was that the wines spanned a spectrum from mid-range to superpremium but, more than that, they were all from relatively new projects and plantings, at least by wine standards. It doesn’t take much to fall for the purity and freshness of the vibrant, juicy, raspberry-toned Cono Sur OCIO Pinot Noir 2012. It may be just a tad too vivacious for the ardent pinot-phile weaned on Burgundy, but for me it demonstrates just how successful Cono Sur’s special Pinot Project continues to be. It should age beautifully. And, I suspect, will maintain its freshness well into the next decade and more (BCLS $64.99, 91 points). I love the complexity of Undurraga’s trailblazing Auma 2010 blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Malbec, Syrah and Petit Verdot) with
If you’d bought it when it was released (probably for around $20) you’ll be pretty happy. The 2010 continues to evolve, with complex spices and firm tannins wrapped in balanced acidity (90 points). I’d pony up for the 2011, no problem (BCLS $29.99). Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon ’06 proclaimed itself with a rush of cassis before a palate of red and black fruit with a taughtness that seamlessly integrates fruit and tannins. Vibrant with surprising elegance and power, especially for a $24.99 wine. It’s the epitome of Chilean value, worth putting away. Find the 2011 (90 points) at BCLS and elsewhere.
mineral and graphite notes that will only get better (BCLS $89.99, 92 points). And while we’re up for a splurge, Errazuriz Don Maximiano 11 has plenty of time ahead in the cellar: integrated tannins, clove spice and dark chocolate with superb tension through the finish that promises only to develop more (92 points, BCLS $89.99). Not inclined to dig so deep but looking for something impressive to tuck away? Arguably one of the most ambitious producers, Emiliana offers a profound example of just how serious Chile is about sustainability and maintaining its biodiversity. Flagship Emiliana Coyam Organic 2001 is standing up well, its tannins now beautifully melded with mellow, earthy, mulberry and dark spice notes. Very evolved but still pure (91 points).

The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened its doors in 1885. The museum has on display 8,000 objects of art and history, from their total collection of one million objects from the years 1200–2000, among which are some masterpieces by Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and JohannesVermeer. —Wikipedia More online at nsnews.com/ entertainment twitter.com/NSNPulse
Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum
The right stuff JOHN MASTERS MeridianWriters’ Group
AMSTERDAM — It took twice as long and cost 95 per cent more than it should have, but it’s tripled the attendance. In the first year since the Rijksmuseum reopened on April 13, 2013 (five years late) its $375-million refurbishment has brought in three million visitors — three times what the museum was attracting annually when it closed at the end of 2003. There isn’t more art on display or more space to show it in: it’s still 8,000 items on view in 80 rooms and galleries. But it’s not the same 8,000 you’d have seen if you’d come in 2003, and the layout is now chronological, with wings devoted to eras from 1100 to 2000. Pride of place, of course, goes to the Dutch

Golden Age, 1600-1700. “Fine” art is now grouped with “decorative,” so oil paintings of a period
are next to that age’s silver soup tureens, lacquered cabinets and well-wrought cuirasses. This blending
gives the viewer a fuller sense of the milieu in which a work was created, and it’s a good antidote to
room after room of nothing but Old Masters. The exception is the Gallery of Honour, which, like the nave of a cathedral, leads to the museum’s high altar, Rembrandt’s NightWatch (1642). It’s filled with works by other Golden Age notables including Vermeer, Hals and Steen, but unsullied by lesser items. Previously, the Gallery of Honour was painted white. Now it’s been returned to how architect Pierre Cuypers originally decorated it: warm shades of orange-brown covered by lots of intricate 19thcentury designs. The whole museum once looked like this, but only a few sections have been restored — present-day thinking is that too much Cuypers would still be too much. See more page 28

Marseille builds its own cultural jewel
JOHN KEYES MeridianWriters’ Group
MARSEILLE:The European Capital of Culture designation has proven to be a rousing success in reminding travellers that there are fascinating cities beyond the well-trod tourism triumvirate of London, Paris and Rome. First proposed in 1983 by Greek actress-turnedpolitician Melina Mercouri, the program was quickly adopted by the Commission of the European Union and has since bestowed the annual honour on such disparate cities as Glasgow (1990), Bologna (1999), Cork (2005) and Tallinn (2011). In 2013 it was Marseille’s turn, and the French coastal city, best known to many as the infamous port in the 1970s movie classic The French Connection, pulled out all the stops to prove it could present an appealing face to visitors. A 480-hectare area district overlooking the city’s harbour became the largest urban modernization project in Europe, costing 600 million euros, while great pains were taken to preserve the parchment-hued limestone façades of the area’s many 19th-century warehouses and shops. The jewel in the crown of this effort was the construction of a new and strikingly photogenic building to house the
Museum of the Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (MuCEM), Marseille’s first national museum. It took three-anda-half years to complete, opening halfway through the city’s year as a European Capital of Culture, and became an instant hit. In its first six months it welcomed almost two million visitors. Perched on the edge of a limestone podium with a splendid view of the port, MuCEM’s main feature is the 1,500-square-metre ground floor Gallery of the Mediterranean. (The second floor, topped by a rooftop viewing area, features temporary exhibits.) This main permanent gallery aims, says MuCEM literature, “to pin down, from the archaeological, ethnological and artistic points of view, the personality traits of the cultures that have emerged along the Mediterranean perimeter.” It does so splendidly, subdividing its mission into four themes, each with its own minigallery that leads seamlessly into the next. The first section covers the invention of farming (and the importance of wine, olives and wheat); the second examines the significance of Jerusalem to the Mediterranean’s three great monotheistic religions; the third looks at the growth of human rights and citizenship; and the final area is devoted to scientific
progress and worldwide trade. Each theme is illustrated by a well-curated selection of pertinent and often rare artifacts. I was particularly struck by a meticulously carved wood-and-ivory 17th-century miniature of Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre in section two, Greek theatrical masks from 360 B.C. in section three, and an array of ancient globes and astrolabes dating back to the 14th century. Every visitor will easily find several memorable favourites. While the entire collection can be comfortably viewed in about 90 minutes, it is tremendously thought provoking, so there is much to discuss afterward.There’s probably no better way to do so than over a glass of Provençal rosé wine, accompanied by a bowl of bouillabaisse, the region’s traditional seafood stew. Marseille is, after all, the gateway to Provence, which you will appreciate much more thanks to MuCEM.

Rijksmuseum restored two courtyards during the work From page 28 Also restored are two large courtyards that vanished in the 1960s when more galleries were added. Huge skylights over the courtyards, and the unblocking of windows, have made the museum much airier. The Golden Age galleries are the Rijksmuseum’s glory, but it’s worthwhile exploring other centuries, too. The 1800-1900 rooms, for example, show not just the era’s art (including an 1837 Van Gogh self-portrait), but also Holland’s changing place in the world. This was the age of Napoleon, whose end resulted in the creation
of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. The Waterloo Gallery is dominated by the eponymous painting (1824) by Jan Willem Pieneman showing the battlefield, with Napoleon’s conqueror, Britain’s Duke of Wellington, front and centre. Even now, not everything is as well laid out as it might be. The two 20th-century galleries in particular seem like afterthoughts, reached by back stairs. But here too are treasures. A small chamber displays just two items from the Second World War. One is a chessboard presented by SS commander Heinrich
Himmler to the head of the Dutch Nazi party. The “men” are planes, bombs and advancing soldiers. The board’s sides list the countries the Third Reich has subdued. Next to it is the soiled jacket worn by a woman in a concentration camp. That may be the most heart-rending piece in the whole museum.

Dog ownership would be easy if all dogs where cut from the same cloth. That way what was good for one dog would be good for all dogs, but that is not the case at all. Dogs, just like people, have a variety of personalities and requirements that need to be met on a daily basis in order for them to maintain an amicable disposition. It seems obvious to say that dogs need exercise. But you would be surprised at how many people have no clue as to how much exercise is enough, too much, or too little. A client with a young Rottweiler thought that a 15-minute walk once a day (on sunny days only) was enough.When I explained that 15 minutes is simply a warm-up for the 45 minutes to follow she just about blew a gasket. If you are not able to provide your dog with daily exercise of at least one continuous hour then
Joan Klucha
Canine Connection I would suggest that you consider hiring a professional and pay for your dog’s exercise. Young puppies under five months of age can have a few 30-minute walks throughout the day because too much repetitive exercise can cause damage to immature bones. But an adolescent who has finished growing and healthy adult dogs can easily get an hour, if not more, of exercise a day. Senior dogs or dogs with medical or physical

participate in the dog’s curiosity as it investigates the environment, just like dogs do with each other.When the dog excitedly sniffs an area or is visually stimulated by something, actively participate by checking out the area of interest with your dog and verbally praising while petting at the same time.This is a fabulous bonding exercise for puppies too. After teaching tracking and scent work for more than two decades, I tend to view dogs as a nose with legs. Seriously though, these creatures, no matter the breed, live through their noses. Most dogs can satisfy that nasal curiosity by sniffing here and there along their walk, but many highly active dogs need more than that.These dogs do great at nose-work or tracking class where they locate treats, objects, even people by following their nose. I continually see owners come out of a scent-training or tracking class with a new wide-eyed, jaw-dropping appreciation for their dog’s nasal abilities. It’s a lot of fun and your dog doesn’t need to be a blood hound to do it. Pugs do just as well as Beagles! There are year-round scent classes and tracking classes on the North Shore and out in the Valley and you can start at any age with your dog. Providing your dog with these needs on a daily basis will help your dog live a healthier, happier and longer life.

limitations may need an altered exercise routine that may require several shorter walks throughout the day, but all dogs need exercise. Their quadruped body is designed to be able to walk, run, hike, etc. for much longer with far less physical discomfort than our upright, oddly balanced bi-ped bodies. Dogs are very social creatures. Being descendants of wolves that have a highly structured social network, dogs enjoy the company of their own kind. It is important for your dog to play and interact with other dogs. If the dog park or a dog daycare is your thing then that’s great, but make sure your dog is OK with the sometimes frenetic energy of a dog park or daycare. Sometimes just allowing friendly, social dogs to meet while on a hike is enough to satisfy that social need. A highly social dog denied canine social time will sometimes display inappropriate behaviours that may resemble aggression towards other dogs.This dog is often not aggressive at all but simply frustrated due to not being able to interact with its own kind. Once an amount of social interaction is incorporated into that dog’s daily routine, the inappropriate behaviour often stops. It’s like the tap on the bottom of a barrel has been opened, and once the social frustration runs out the dog is better behaved. There are on occasion dogs that don’t like other dogs, due to a socialization issue, medical issue or old age. A dog owner can easily fill that social need by interacting with them. A fun exercise while out on walks is to

Wolf Pack take the lead
Wins piling up but Pack playing dangerous game with slow starts ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
There are a couple of ways you could look at the hot start for the NorthVan Wolf Pack that has thrust them into first place with a 4-1 record in the early stages of the PJHL season.
The glass-half-empty observer would say that the team is playing a dangerous game, falling behind opponents early and struggling back to earn narrow wins. Last Saturday the Pack fell behind the Langley Knights — a rebooted version of the North
Delta Devils — 2-0 at home before rallying for a 4-3 win. Things were even dicier Wednesday night on the road against the Mission City Outlaws with North Van falling behind 3-0 before scoring five unanswered and hanging on for a 5-4 win. The glass-half-full
view, on the other hand, would be that the team has shown strong character and exemplary fitness levels late in games to score those come-from-behind wins. And, not least of all, a win is a win no matter how it came about. Wolf Pack head coach and general manager Matt Samson is leaning more towards the glass-half-full approach, though he knows that if the team keeps playing these dangerous
games they could very easily start coming up empty. “We like our record,” Samson told the North Shore News Friday before the team set off for a road game in Abbotsford followed by a home contest Saturday night against the Delta Ice Hawks, both played after North Shore News press deadline. “We’re winning one-goal games — that’s always good See Pack page 32

Spencer Quon is third in the league with 11 points in five games while Daniel Tait is right behind with 10 points. Brodyn Nielsen’s five goals leads the team in that category. Defenceman Dyllan Quon has five points

when you come out on the positive side of those — but we definitely have some stuff to work on,” he said, adding that falling behind early in games is a dangerous pattern to get into. “Those are kind of red flags as a coach where you say, ‘Why are we starting so slow? Are we taking these teams lightly?’” he said. “I told my older guys that they are good players but they have to respect that it is a good league and they can’t just show up and expect to win and expect to get two or three points every night just because they’re good players.” Wednesday night’s win in Mission was a dramatic illustration of how fast the tide can turn at this level of hockey.The Pack, trailing 2-0, started the second period with an extended five-on-three power play but couldn’t capitalize, instead giving up a goal less than a minute after the manadvantage ended. Now at the bottom of a deep hole, the Pack climbed all the way out, tying the game 3-3 before the end of the period and taking the lead for good in the third.The game actually brought back some troubling memories for Samson — the Wolf Pack were ousted from the playoffs last season after giving up five unanswered, third-period goals against the Richmond Sockeyes. “We’ve got to play a complete, 60-minute game,”
said Samson. “I know it’s a cliché but it’s true.We’ve seen it firsthand, our guys that were in the playoffs. You’ve got to play every shift and you can’t take anything for granted out there. “Sometimes you can come out flying in the first period and all of a sudden you get a bad break and you’re down 1-0 or 2-0. That’s hockey. No matter how you get there, if you are down — and obviously we’re going to be down again this year — I think our

said Samson. “We know that every day at practice, every day at
the rink he’s going to give everything he has,” he said. “He’s going to be a good leader — leadership on the ice in how he plays and in
the room as well.The guys really respect him.” Other players showing well in the early going are rookie Zachary Bleuler,

tied for the team lead for defencemen with five points, and rookie forward Mitchell Ledyard. Ledyard, whose uncle Grant had a long NHL career, was the last player signed prior to the season but has quickly moved up the depth charts, scoring four points in five games. The one big question mark for the team remains in net where three rookies — Sergio Del-Linz,Trevor
Withers and Nicholas Anderson — are all getting a shot to claim the No. 1 spot. All three have scored wins already with Del-Linz posting the best umbers with a 2.50 goals against average and .902 save percentage through two starts. Samson said he’ll give them all a long look before making the tough decision of which two to keep. “It would be very tough to keep all three of those guys all year, as much as I’d like to.You can’t keep rotating guys through all
year — you’ve got to have a go-to guy at some point,” said Samson. “We’ve got at least another month that we can do this.We’ve got to make a decision at some point who the best two are. I couldn’t tell you right now, and they’re all good kids. It’s going to be tough.” The Pack hosts a rare weeknight home game on Wednesday with the Port Moody Panthers coming to town. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. at Harry Jerome Recreation Centre.
