Hospital brought North Shore to life
Community says farewell as North Van General preps for demolition ! The Grand Farewell Commemoration for North Vancouver General, presented by the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation, Sunday, Sept. 25, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., on 13th Street East (closed to traffic) between St. Georges and St. Andrews avenues. Free. Donations accepted for the foundation. lghfoundation.com ERIN MCPHEE emcphee@nsnews.com
To this day, Dr. John Maynard can still vividly remember when, as a toddler, he stood in front of the old North Vancouver General and watched his mother emerge, carrying a baby in her arms.
“I remember saying, ‘Who is she carrying?’ And my dad said, ‘Well, your little baby sister,’” the North Vancouver resident recalls. Meeting new sister Sandra for the first time is a treasured family memory. The reason Maynard has recently been flooded with images from his past is because after 87 years of offering care to tens of thousands of North Shore residents, and employing thousands more, the venerable brick building on East 13th Street that originally housed Lions Gate Hospital’s predecessor is slated for demolition. The deconstruction is intended to pave the way for future redevelopment of the Lions Gate campus in an effort to meet the North Shore’s growing health care needs. Maynard himself had been born at North Vancouver General, a mere three years prior to his sister, in 1948, delivered by none other than Dr. Carson Graham, a well-known local medical professional, education advocate and community builder. “He was a very, very popular general practitioner in North Vancouver. He was one of the first full-time
Retired registered nurse Fran Maynard looks at some old photos from her days at North Vancouver General, first as a nurse right out of training from 1944 to 1946, and then as a head nurse of Lions Gate Hospital’s psychiatry unit, which was later housed in the building starting in the 1960s. The brick building is slated for deconstruction this fall, but first community members are invited to The Grand Farewell, a commemoration event set for next weekend. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN general practitioners in North Vancouver. Interestingly, I grew up right across the street from him. I remember, as a youth, going over and visiting him and him showing me his medical equipment. He was just a fascinating man. He died far too young,” says Maynard, now 68. That early education no doubt helped pave the way for Maynard’s own pursuit of medicine. He initially worked as an emergency physician in Victoria for a decade before going on to open his own practice in Deep Cove in 1984. He served as co-medical director at Expo 86, and went on to hold a number of high-profile positions within Lions Gate Hospital, and the former North Shore Health Region and Vancouver Coastal Health, including head of general practice, chief of staff and senior medical director. Semi-retired, he’s currently the chairman of the VCH medical advisory committee and works as a clinician at the Park & Tilford Medical Clinic. The long-serving and dedicated North Shore physician is just one of the many
community members coming forward to share their memories of the old hospital, as well as say thanks and so long, at next weekend’s The Grand Farewell Commemoration for North Vancouver General, being presented by the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. “Because this hospital has been around for over 85 years, it’s touched a lot of hearts,” says Judy Savage, foundation president. The Grand Farewell, set for Sunday, Sept. 25, at the old hospital site, is intended to acknowledge the connection felt by so many residents, including those who worked, were born, were cared for, or who had loved ones who were treated there. Festivities will include a street party with a barbecue, entertainment, children’s activities, an invitational vintage car show, historical displays and tours of North Vancouver General’s main floor. “We just thought it was a really great opportunity to set a day aside so the community could come together to really pay tribute and celebrate the North Van General. … That
building has historical significance for the North Shore and throughout its history it’s been really well supported by the community. ... We just thought we needed to pause and really acknowledge and celebrate all that that building meant to our community,” says Savage. rrr North Vancouver General opened in May 1929 and was the third acute care hospital in North Vancouver, but the first large hospital on the current Lions Gate Hospital site, according to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. Architects James Anderson Benzies and William Bow opted for a Period Revival style design, hoping the building’s high-pitched, chateau-style roof “relieved the institutional look.” Built at a final cost of approximately $225,000, the hospital was intended to serve the community, which at that time had a population of 21,110. North Vancouver General was the primary hospital on the North Shore from 1929

After Fran left her job in 1946, she still made visits to the building as her children were born there, as well as her nieces and nephews – Dr. John Maynard included. North Vancouver resident and history buff Tom Bell is yet another local resident who was born at North Vancouver General. The former West Vancouver firefighter (who served for 30 years before retiring in 2000) and founder of the West Vancouver Fire Service Museum and Archives Society, came into the world 69 years ago in 1947. His strongest memories of the hospital are the two times he was hospitalized as a child. The first time occurred when he was six years old and a student at Queen Mary elementary, requiring a

until April 1961 when Lions Gate Hospital opened on the surrounding grounds and the building was repurposed. Former nurse Fran Maynard, a 94-year-old Lynn Valley resident, started working at North Vancouver General in 1944. Born in 1921 in Penticton, the then 23-yearold had moved to North Vancouver upon completion of her nursing training in Victoria. She planned to stay with one of her sisters who called the North Shore home and was excited to start her first job as a registered nurse. Fran was primarily assigned to the maternity and men’s wards and remembers some of the daily precautions required in light of the ongoing Second World War. “Every night we had to put up big black boards (in the windows) to keep the light out,” she says. “It was a good place to work. ....” she adds. “We did everything in those days. You were a case nurse, a patient nurse and a nursery nurse. ... I think there were only six doctors when I first came.” Unfortunately Fran was forced to leave her job much sooner than she desired. “I was there for only two years and then I got married. In those days when you got married you had to leave because of the nurses coming back from the war. It was a rule. The girls that were already married that were there, they were OK, but anybody that had come in
tonsillectomy. The worst part of the ordeal was the hospital food served during his recovery period: apple juice and pea soup. “To this day I absolutely detest apple juice and pea soup. I just won’t eat it. We even went to the pea soup capital of the world down in California and I never tried it. Never even got tempted,” he says with a laugh. Bell’s second hospitalization occurred six years later at age 12 after his doctor suspected he suffered from chlorine poisoning due to swallowing too much water while swimming in Mahon pool. “We were all pretty good swimmers so we’d play tag and run around and chase each other and dive in and out of the pool. And of course in the effort of getting away from the guy who’s chasing you, you’d end up swallowing a gulp here and a gulp there. I swallowed so much water over the course of the summer it built up in my system,” he says, explaining he had a late start to the school year as a result. North Vancouver General continued to serve the residents of the North Shore and as the population grew, so too did the hospital, seeing additional wings added and upgrades conducted at different times over the years to increase occupancy. When the community eventually outgrew the old hospital and Lions Gate opened its doors,

Theories abound on Blueridge goo Tossed bags of mystery substance deemed non-toxic BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
The mystery of the brown goo thickens.
Weeks after residents in Blueridge reported finding dozens of bags filled with disgusting brown goo being tossed in their streets, the District of North Vancouver has done some testing to find out what it is or, more accurately, what it isn’t. “All standard tests that have been conducted on that material show that it’s not hazardous or toxic, so that’s in the good news department,” Charlene Grant, acting chief administrative officer, told district council Monday night. “That just leaves the issue of it being dumped there. In that regard, the RCMP are aware of that. There is an open file on that issue and our work crews are diligent when they’re out and about trying to find some
evidence of who is leaving it behind.” The tests indicated the odourless goo is predominantly organic material, containing no hydrocarbons or unusual metals and it is very low in protein, according to the district, suggesting it is mostly likely some kind of vegetable pulp. “Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that we will ever know definitively what this substance is,” said Stephanie Smiley, district spokeswoman. The bags have continued to pile up in Blueridge, ever since stories about the unwelcome goo ran first in the North Shore News and then on CBC Vancouver in late August. So far, there have been 24. “It seems like it might be escalating. There were three bags on Saturday,” said area resident Angela Duso. “It didn’t slow down because of the news coverage. That’s for sure.” The Blueridge Community Association has launched an online map showing where each of the bags has landed, they suspect, from a moving vehicle. Sightings can be reported at blueridgeca.org. The district is simply asking people who find it to double-bag it and throw it out.
Duso said some ideas that have been floated in the community include bong water, vomit, juicing waste, food someone doesn’t like, or areca nut juice – the spit left over from an Asian/ African nut that’s chewed as a mild stimulant. It’s reportedly popular with taxi drivers. District Coun. Jim Hanson, who has been working with the Blueridge residents on the brown goo file, said he suspects the bags are being left as an act of mischief. “It would seem to fall into the category of prank behaviour at this stage,” he said. “Acting out by a young person, I suppose.” Sooner or later, the suspect will be found out by making careless statements about his activity, Hanson predicted.
Blueridge residents Angela Duso and Brian Gardiner ponder how to properly dispose of a bag of brown mystery goo found in their neighbourhood. FILE PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN In the meantime, he has a message for the goo tosser. “Stop. It’s extremely antisocial behaviour,” he said. “Whatever it is that ails this fellow, it’s something that would be better addressed by some other behaviour.”

oney – as parents are genetically mandated to inform their children – doesn’t grow on trees. It grows on election cycles. B.C. has been filthy with lucre recently: the minimum wage jumped 40 cents, the hike to Medical Services Plan premiums was cancelled, and even the boost to ICBC rates was a pittance given the horrifying crash numbers. But if you believe money is the root of all evil, the NDP has a troubling surplus of good. The NDP was $152,000 in debt at the end of 2015 and well short of fundraising goals, according to a recent Vancouver Sun report. And they need that money to pay for obnoxious bus tours, to finance polls that oscillate from optimistic to deluded, and to pare complex policy

How to solve everything wrong with you
Great news everyone: I’ve discovered how to stop all of the bad behaviour in the world.
No more going to war. No more overdosing on drugs. No more wearing socks with sandals. This discovery comes with an admission: I have a tiny Coke habit. It’s not, like, a selling my kidney to a hobo for one shot of Coke kind of habit. It’s just a manageable little itch that sometimes needs to be soothed with a quick application of sugar acid. It all started when I was young and my parents would host a weekly Bible study group, sending me upstairs with a tin of Coke to keep me happy and quiet. At least, back then they told me it was a Bible study group. They have no recollection of that now – maybe it was
Laugh All You Want Andy Prest all a clever ruse to cover up their bourbon study group. Anyway, they could have been turning water into wine, or wine into awkward prairie folk dancing for all I cared. I just wanted that wonderful weekly Coke. Thirty years later I still enjoy the odd soda pop, even though I know they are ridiculously unhealthy

drinks. I should say that I enjoyed the odd soda pop, in the past tense, because I fear I may never get to taste that sweet sugar water again, at least while my kids are around. Last week my family picked up some fast food and I, as is my wont on those rare occasions, chose to wash down the salty garbage with sugary poison. Hey, if you’re going to cheat, you might as well go full Barry Bonds, right? I barely got a sip in, however, before the shaming started. “Daddy, you can’t drink that!” my six-year-old said. “That’s just a big cup full of sugar!” my three-year-old said. “One more sip and then you’re done. No more!” “It’s not a good choice, daddy.”
It was every parental scolding they’d ever received, flung back at me with righteous, flabbergasted indignation. And then came the big clincher: “You’re not going to be like Josh Donaldson.” That’s where my life is at right now: With any unhealthy life choice I make I’m reminded that it won’t help me achieve the same physical prowess as the Toronto Blue Jays’ third baseman who is the reigning American League MVP award winner. The shaming worked, though – I couldn’t finish my drink at the table. Pop is public enemy No. 1 at my house, thanks to my wonderful wife’s sensible parenting skills. At the rate we’re going, I reckon my kids would be willing to try crack before they ever tried Coke.
As we sat eating our meal last week, each sip I took was flavoured with equal parts high fructose corn syrup and guilt. I ended up putting my half-full cup aside and secretly finishing it in a dark corner of the house like some stray cat sneaking licks out of a discarded KFC bucket. I don’t think I want to go through that again, and so I reckon I won’t be having any more fructose juice. This might be the end of my Coke habit. It got me thinking though – kid shaming may be the weapon our world needs right now. Keeping it local, maybe we could assign a couple of doe-eyed juniors to every North Shore homeowner who leaves out bear attractants. Would they be so brazen if they had to hear this all day?

Mandatory licensing for cyclists will help road safety Dear Editor: I have a concern as a motorist and pedestrian over the nonchalant and irresponsible behaviour of many cyclists on our roads. There have been incidents involving bicycles and motorists in Vancouver proper and here on the North Shore where the cyclists embrace no blame automatically. I would like our province, city and district to be a forerunner by introducing a bylaw for cyclists that enforces road insurance. We should be working with ICBC to implement “vehicle” insurance for cyclists that use our roadways and would then also be protected. When a cyclists damages a vehicle, who is responsible? When a cyclist runs down a pedestrian, who pays for injuries? We are paying for new lanes with new taxes and higher rates. Every bike bought could
be registered and licensed like an automobile. An annual fee is repeated like we motorists have to do. If the RCMP have managed to register owners for theft purposes this is just one step further on the initial purchase by the retail dealer. There is a reckless attitude on our streets because there are no consequences for a cyclist. A vehicle: any means in or by which someone travels or something is carried or conveyed; a means of conveyance or transport. Why are only the motorists paying for the public’s roadway insurance and safety. There are so many applications to make the registration program plausible. Children are not using the highway/byway lanes; however, their parents’ home insurance would have to be claimed upon. Licensing will not
generate a high volume of annual revenue for a community. However, the attitude of cyclists would alter, in my opinion, who use the communal roadways to commute. In our rainy winter, these bike lanes will be empty. We will still be paying for the creation of these new lanes. Yay to our city planners. Open your door on Commercial Drive, Cambie Street, or try to park and you will have your vehicle smacked and you personally berated from a cyclist whizzing along and out of nowhere, with no care whatsoever because they weave.

Babych an all-star in trail rescue Dear Editor: My 13-year-old daughter was hiking yesterday with a friend near Mosquito Creek/ Baden Powell connector and fell approximately 15 feet. Apparently she was unconscious at first. Her friend yelled for help.
Former Canuck Dave Babych deserves a big thank-you as he carried my daughter out approximately 20 minutes on his back — she passed out again on his back and was then transported to emergency. Christa is OK with head
trauma and scratches although it could have been a lot worse. It’s a reminder how dangerous the trails can be. Thanks, Dave, for being there. Robert Minielly North Vancouver

Tiny fingers point out all flaws From page 8 Or presidential nominees. “You can’t build a wall and tell the people of Mexico they have to pay for it. That doesn’t make sense!” “Like, a real, huge, concrete wall? Are you being serious?” “Why are you orange?”
“You called them all rapists. That’s a bad, bad word.” “You’ll never be Josh Donaldson.” “Or president.” It really is hard to resist such sincere, heartfelt and incredibly annoying shaming. It really works. If you want to try it for yourself, I’d
be happy to rent out my two children for a day of shaming. My wife can program them with whatever shaming facts you need to get your life straight. I’m sure it would work. Please, take them away for the day. I could really use a drink. aprest@nsnews.com

Let’s talk about our natural assets: the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve
‘The Blob’ has resurfaced and is influencing weather trends JANE SEYD jseyd@nsnews.com
Yes, that may have been the pitter patter of raindrops you felt.
We’ll be seeing more of it in the coming months, as summer officially gives way to the start of fall this week, with the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22. But never fear. Fall won’t be all bad, say meteorologists. In fact, temperatures are expected to remain higher than usual on the West Coast this fall and there will still be periods of sunny skies, said Erin Wenckstern, meteorologist for the Weather Network. “There’s going to be some nice stretches,” she said. The balmy weather this fall is being brought to the West Coast thanks to warm ocean temperatures in the North Pacific. While this year isn’t an El Nino year – usually associated with warmer temperatures – a significant patch of warm Pacific water, dubbed “The Blob” by meteorologists, remains, said Wenckstern. “It’s still warmer than normal sea surface temperatures off the West Coast,”
Metro Vancouver manages the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve to maintain its recreation, education and environmental values in conjunction with its capacity as a water reserve.
she said. Scientists originally thought “The Blob” had broken up, said Matt MacDonald, meteorologist with Environment Canada. But The Blob is back, and is continuing to influence weather patterns. Meteorologists expect to see average monthly temperatures approximately one degree warmer than usual this fall, he said. Earlier this year, meteorologists had hinted about the possibility of a La Nina weather pattern this winter – indicating colder than normal temperatures. But since then, signs of La Nina have plateaued, said both meteorologists and weather watchers are expecting close to normal weather trends. Typically, fall sees daytime high temperatures drop by about five degrees each month, added Wenckstern. The average high for September is 18.9 degrees. That drops to 13.5 degrees by October and moves into single digits by November. Rainfall also usually doubles monthly in the fall – from 50 to 60 millimetres in September to close to 200 mm in November. The warm fall follows a warm summer. Temperatures were warmer than average for the eighth summer in a row, said MacDonald. The summer was also slightly drier than average, with 85 per cent of normal rainfall, he added.

Event gives chance to say goodbye From page 5
the Activation Building, as it came to be known, went on to house a variety of programs, including physical rehabilitation, coronary care and chronic obstructive lung disease and mental health. It was the mental health unit that Fran joined when she made a triumphant return to nursing in the late-1960s, once again finding herself working in the old hospital building as a member of Lions Gate’s psychiatry unit. She moved up the ranks and eventually came to serve as a head nurse. During those years she recalls the building beginning to show its age. “I don’t know how many times they painted it and tried to fix it up. Often the pigeons got in the window. … It was quite funny at times,” she says. Fran, however, was fulfilled by her work, passionate about her patients and had a fondness for her co-workers. She remained part of the unit until her final retirement from nursing in 1982. rrr From 2002 to 2014 the Activation Building solely housed Lions Gate’s in-patient psychiatry unit. At that point the department was moved into the new Greta and Robert H.N. Ho Psychiatry and Education Centre (The HOpe Centre) next door. For the last 18 months, the building has sat vacant. “It is an old building, it’s passed its useful life,” says Savage. “One of the reasons that there’s such an urgency to take the building down is that
Demolition on the Activation Building is slated to begin as early as December with the intention to preserve or incorporate some aspects into future development on the site. PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN it is very costly to maintain,” she adds, further citing issues like potential threats of vandalism and “things taking up life in there.” Fencing is slated to be installed following The Grand Farewell, with the demolition set to begin as early as December. “It’s going to take some time to do the deconstruction because of the materials in the old building. There’s asbestos and there’s lead in the paint and things like that. I understand it won’t be until early in 2017 until the whole building comes down. It will be done in phases,” says Savage. A further reason for moving forward with the deconstruction is to allow for redevelopment of the site. A concept plan has been sent to the provincial government. “We are planning for a future development on that
site, but there’s nothing that we’re able to announce at this point because it’s before the government,” she says. Plans are also underway to incorporate aspects of the old building into the eventual new construction. “There’s been extensive discussions with the City of North Vancouver and the (North Shore) Heritage Preservation Society and every effort to appropriately remember the North Van General is underway,” says Savage. While final preservation plans will be brought to City
of North Vancouver council prior to the building being deconstructed, at this point there is an intent to salvage bricks, which are hoped to be incorporated into the new facility in some way, along with the bronze cartouche currently installed at the front entrance that reads “NVGH: 1929.” In the lead-up to next weekend’s event, representatives of Lions Gate Hospital Foundation are currently looking to connect with North Shore residents who were born at North Vancouver
General as they have buttons for them to pick up that read, “I was born at North Van General.” As well, they’re going to post a large sign at the event listing people who were born at the hospital by decade. For Savage, The Grand Farewell offers an opportunity to not only pay tribute to the past, but to the present and future of health care on the North Shore, illustrating just how far we’ve come. To that end, she encourages community members from all walks of life to attend. “Lions Gate, I hear from people in the community, really means a lot to them,” says Savage. “We have a great sense of community at this hospital: the people who work here, the people who come here as patients. It’s just a community celebration recognizing the great health care that’s provided in our community. It’s a once-in-alifetime opportunity. Likely taking down a building is not going to happen again in our generation on the North Shore. I just hope that people will join with us to thank all the professionals who worked in that building and to thank all the professionals today who provide the excellent health care at Lions Gate.”

It is critical to act within three hours when symptoms of a stroke begin. People under the age of 45 seem to be slow in seeking immediate help. Instead they wait to see if the symptoms improve. Not wise. If you experience weakness, numbness and difficulty speaking or seeing, call 911 right away. Stroke cases have increased in the under 45 age group and is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and smoking. It’s not always an old person’s problem.

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Ann Hamilton Coho Festival The annual Coho Festival is always a sure catch of a great day and this year’s event made a big splash with a super community vibe. Under a picture-perfect sunny sky, happy-looking people streamed into West Vancouver’s Ambleside Park, Sept. 11 between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. to enjoy lots of inspiring, interesting, fun, entertaining and delicious activities. Highlights included the opening ceremonies, welcoming address by Squamish Nation leadership, traditional ceremonial blessing of the salmon, pancake breakfast, fundraising bike-walk-swim events, Squamish Nation Village, kids’ park, education zone, beer-wine-cider garden, ongoing entertainment and music and, of course, the delicious local salmon barbecue. Things got even better when B.C. band Chilliwack took to the main stage and rocked the crowd with their hits. The festival’s goal is to educate everyone about the importance of protecting fish and their environments and to raise funds to help rebuild, revitalize and maintain local salmon, and other aquatic species, and their habitats.

Living large on North Van’s new Megabench ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
Sometimes all that a big idea needs to become a big success is an epic name to match.
Behold, then, a big idea that has taken shape on the North Vancouver waterfront, enhanced even more by a truly cool name: Megabench. More than 1,000 red cedar boards make up the structure, smoothly twisted and shaped into a 48-metre-long bench perched on the edge of Burrard Inlet with views of the Vancouver skyline ahead, the Spirit Trail passing just behind, and warmed by the shine coming off the soon-tobe-completed Presentation House Gallery. This is Megabench. “The name fit,” said designer Doug Shearer with a laugh. “We just realized we wanted to have a big, bold, emphatic statement on the

Megabench part of North Vancouver waterfront project From page 13 waterfront, and so ‘mega’ came to mind.” Shearer and his team at Vancouver-based landscape architecture and urban design firm Hapa Collaborative were hired by the City of North Vancouver to design the bold bench after CNV staffers were told to think big during public consultation sessions about the waterfront project. Staffers started calling the project Megabench early in the design process. “It was a literal description of what it is, and it stuck, because it’s fun, and it totally describes what this thing is,” said Heather Reinhold, manager of strategic initiatives for the city. “It was really about having the best seat in the house for the public.” The bench was unveiled at the foot of Lonsdale Avenue earlier this month and, even though it is currently tucked away behind a couple of construction zones, it has already gotten a workout from visitors keen to sit, lie down, play, eat, drink and generally be merry on it. “People seem to be drawn to it,” said Shearer, adding that it was a thrill to sit back and watch visitors move in and make themselves at home in many different ways. “That’s
the cool thing – we want people to use it however they want. We didn’t want to be too prescriptive. We didn’t want your typical park bench where two people can sit down and they stare a certain way and they put their back against this part. We wanted people to lie on it, sit on it, have a picnic on it. Some people have lain upside down with their feet up on the slanty bits. They’ve put their feet up on top and hung their heads towards the water.” The boards are all of similar size and all straight as an arrow. Half of the bench follows a traditional flat-bottom design while the other half uses gradual ebbs and flows to create molded spaces to sit, lie down and play. “The boards rise and fall and the angles that they hit each other change, so that even though every member is straight and none of the cuts is very complicated, the combined effect is this very fluid, sort of curvilinear almost organic effect when you see the whole thing together,” said Shearer, adding that unique, funky public projects like this are a designer’s dream. “It’s really what we’re doing this for – to do something that will reach a large number of people, that really makes a place joyful to inhabit,” he
said. “We’re super happy.” They’re not done yet either. Hapa Collaborative is busy working on more amenities that will complete Phase 2 of the city’s waterfront project, including a large plaza and water feature that will sit beside the gallery, right behind Megabench. “Stay tuned because there’s going to be more cool stuff down there,” said Shearer. “I hope it’s going to be spectacular. I really think that whole Quay area, the waterfront in the City of North Van is really dynamic. It’s one of the more interesting urban spaces in the Lower Mainland.” Shearer also applauded the city for supporting unique urban design and doing something bold. “I think it’s super important and I think it’s an attractor for people,” he said. “It’s why people put up with the high cost of living here, and the rain and everything. It’s a great place to live, and kudos to the city because really these things don’t happen unless the owner and the client have the vision and the tenacity to be bold and try something a bit risky like this.” The bench is open for public use. Come down and try it. Bring a friend. Or 100 friends.

Ideal Protein and Bellevue Pharmacy: The Perfect Match
At Bellevue Pharmacy we are always striving to improve the health and wellness of our community. We fill many prescriptions where weight loss would help reduce or even eliminate the need for some medications.
about Ideal Protein through a good friend and saw how fantastic she looked, something told me this was my time to work on getting myself back, and that I would attempt to lose all my weight I had gained.
The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a medically derived and medically supervised program. Our dieters come in once a week for measurements, body composition analysis and coaching.
“Not only did I get my energy back but I also got my health and confidence back.“
We are very happy to have a coach who has had great success on the program. Here is her story: “I started this journey five years ago, after the birth of my children and after many attempts to do it on my own, I decided it was time I needed to make a change for me. I heard
Ideal Protein has changed my life completely. I have tried several diets in the past and this one has been the most successful and easiest by far. Not only did I get my energy back but I also got my health and confidence back. I lost a total of
53 pounds in six months, and I feel amazing!!! I feel so strongly about this weight loss program and was given the opportunity to become a Certified Ideal Protein Coach. I am so blessed to have been given the opportunity to share my success and now help dieters have the same success as me.” Our Bellevue Pharmacy team specializes in the naturopathic arm of medicine where we consult our patients on an integrative approach to their health.

Our pharmacists create protocols for a wide range of conditions including adrenal exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and hormone imbalances. We recommend pharmaceutical grade supplements and carry an impressive range of products to meet your needs.

Dealing with cognitive decline
Are you afraid of losing your mental capacities as you age?
Many of us are, according to Dr. Heather Palmer, regional director of Memory Care for Amica Mature Lifestyles. In a recent talk at the North Shore Seniors’ Health Expo held on Sept. 10 in West Vancouver, Palmer said that people are less accepting of cognitive decline than physical decline so techniques and strategies to address cognitive aging are underutilized. But as Palmer said, cognitive aging is as inevitable as
physical aging. As we age our brain changes as well. For most of us, improving cognitive well-being will increase our chances of leading a productive and happy life. Improvements to cognitive functioning can reduce the stress and fear associated with cognitive decline. Cognitive decline comes in many forms, from normal decline to full-blown dementia with Alzheimer’s disease as one of the most acute. Some common changes with normal cognitive decline are memory loss, changes in verbal skills,

Older and Wiser Margaret Coates difficulty concentrating and distraction. What can we do to slow or change our cognitive decline? For those of us who are experiencing normal cognitive decline, Palmer said we can utilize external strategies such as making written lists and notes, using timers and calendars, creating routines and practising external self-talk. Exercising these planning and organizational processes will contribute to improved brain functioning. Staying psychologically happy is also a way to improve our cognitive well-being. Palmer said those who “feel good” think better. Seniors centres and programs can be great places to stay connected, get involved and by extension “feel good.” Many of the strategies and techniques for dealing with cognitive decline are similar to those suggested by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. They say that with Alzheimer’s disease, lifestyle choices, like staying socially connected, choosing a healthy diet, reducing stress and being physically active, can often significantly slow the progression of the disease. The community can also facilitate changes to assist those with normal cognitive decline and dementia. An Australian publication, “Creating Dementia-Friendly Communities,” says that in creating a Dementia-Friendly Community many of the strategies can help all of the community. Changes to
outdoor and indoor areas in and around buildings to make them dementia-friendly, making sure social engagement is a priority and assisting people to stay involved through work or volunteering can be beneficial to everyone. According to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., everyone has a responsibility to help make their community dementia-friendly. They say, “Dementia-Friendly Communities are those which support people to be engaged and active where they work, live and play.” Individuals in these communities learn how to recognize when someone has dementia and how to respond in a respectful, effective way. On the North Shore, the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver and the District of West Vancouver have formed a tri-municipal initiative to help educate the public on how to become more supportive of those with dementia and their caregivers. Their collaboration is called Dementia-Friendly North Shore and the kick-off was a part of the seniors’ expo. Over the next year they will develop a framework for a Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan. Whether we experience normal cognitive decline or a more serious decline such as Alzheimer’s disease, individuals and the community must reduce the stigma around these issues. People are ready to accept (though we don’t like it) physical decline and are then able to create solutions. We can do the same for cognitive decline. Margaret Coates is the coordinator of Lionsview Seniors’ Planning Society. She has lived on the North Shore for 47 years and has worked with and for seniors for 20 of those. Ideas for future columns are welcome. Email: lions_view@telus.net. For more information: lionsviewseniorsplanning.com.

Variable expenses can cripple your savings If you had the chance to earn up to several million dollars, you would probably do everything you could to keep as much of that money as possible.
Money Matters Mike Grenby
Most of us do earn that sort of money over our working lifetime. But many of us could keep more if we followed some simple techniques to reduce spending. One key is to minimize your variable expenses through reducing their frequency.
For example, if you shop twice a week for groceries, you are more likely to spend more than if you shop only once a week – and spend quite a bit more if you go shopping when you are hungry rather than on a full stomach. You know if you shop at a big box or regular department store twice a month you will probably spend more that month than if you shop there only once. Or if you go to a coffee shop
five times a week instead of twice. Here are some other effective ways to keep more of the several million dollars you earn over your lifetime: ! Have a fixed amount automatically transferred every payday (or week or month) to your savings/ investment plan (like the Canada Savings Bond payroll savings program) and live on what’s left. You can’t spend money you don’t have – unless you use credit (see

Pipers caught in schedule shuffle
League switch comes after start of season ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com
Preparation is a huge part of football, which makes the predicament that the Argyle Pipers senior team finds itself in this season all the more peculiar.
Just this week the Pipers learned that they were moving leagues, dropping down from the AAA for the province’s largest schools to the AA ranks. The sport’s governing body, B.C. High School Football, dropped Argyle and Salmon Arm to AA and moved Abbotsford secondary up to AAA after an executive meeting Wednesday. Argyle and Salmon Arm will both join the AA Eastern Conference, joining G.W. Graham, Robert Bateman, Holy Cross, and Langley in a league that formerly included Abbotsford, last year’s AA runners-up. “It was a surprise to us. We had no idea at all,” said Argyle head coach Wayne Theobald. “We were all set, and then we got a phone call.” The Pipers, in fact, have already begun their 2016

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2016
Drop down to AA has Pipers eyeing provincial title From page 24 campaign, scoring a 27-8 win over Frank Hurt in their homecoming game at Argyle last Saturday. “It’s pretty unusual, that’s for sure,” Theobald said of the in-season shuffle. “We’re scrambling around, trying to make some changes. It’ll be all good though.” The move prompted mixed reactions amongst the Pipers. Some were keen to test themselves against AAA competition while others were happy to be back at the AA level. This iteration of the Argyle football program has been running for six years, spending most of that time at the AA level. Last year they were bumped to AAA but that switch obviously didn’t last. “Competitively we’re probably more at a AA level,” said the affable Theobald, who seems to take an “it’s all good” approach to most of the obstacles thrown his way. “Some guys are pretty happy, some kids are wishing we were still playing AAA. Either way is fine with me.”
The league switch presents some interesting scheduling quirks for the Pipers, who will need to travel to Fraser Valley or beyond for all of their regular season games. They’ll also make two trips to Abbotsford in a two-week span to play the same team, Robert Bateman, twice, once in an exhibition match and then in a regular season game. Theobald, however, thinks his team will be ready for whatever the AA level throws at them, as shown by the emphatic win over AA Frank Hurt Saturday. “We played fantastic, dominated the whole game,” he said. “They didn’t really get much yardage at all until later in the game when we had some of our newer players in. It was good – we played really well. … The best thing was just the enthusiasm. Just the intensity for the whole game by everyone on the field was really good, pretty encouraging to see.” The team is going with a quarterbacking tandem this
season to replace graduated all-star Cole Theobald, who is off to the University of Victoria this year. Grade 12 Christian Lawry and Grade 11 Mac Ward are sharing duties at the moment, with the Pipers continuing to play their wide-open style. “We’re a typical North Van team – we’re not very big,” said Theobald. “We don’t have the big bodies to pound the ball, so we’re definitely more of an aerial team. And we like throwing it around too – it’s fun for the kids, and the coaches like it too.” Other players expected to play big roles include receivers/defensive backs Aidan Pearce, Devin O’Hea, Ryan Agyagos, and Khoa Mai as well as linemen Hayden Davis and running back Aidan Cottrell. The Pipers did win the AAA Pacific Conference title last season, but the move to AA does seemingly clear them up for a more realistic shot at winning a provincial crown. Theobald said the Pipers
were poised to make a run at the AA title last year before they were bumped up to AAA. Argyle handled Carson Graham in a scrimmage prior to last season, said Theobald, and Carson went on to win the AA title. “We were kind of bummed we got moved to AAA last year because we were thinking we had a good chance – we thought we were probably the best in the province as a AA team,” he said. “We thought we were a better team than Carson – even though they’d strongly disagree – and they ended up winning the provincial championship. So last year we thought we had a pretty good chance. And this year for sure we could have a playoff run.” Argyle will have a chance to prove their worth this weekend when they travel to Delta to take on Seaquam, currently ranked No. 1 in the province in AA. The Pipers’ next home action will be Friday, Oct. 7 when they host Langley secondary in their first regular season game of the year.
