◗ FIGHTING BREAST CANCER

Duo puts their hearts into project BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Two local women are combining their creative juices to raise funds for a cause close to their hearts. Jennifer Pistor and Kait DeWolff have teamed up on A Hart for the Cause, which is raising funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. “Unfortunately, in the summertime I found out that my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had been going through it for a little bit but waited to tell the family,” Pistor says. “When I found out, I went through all the classic emotions. I was upset and sad. I was angry and frustrated.” Along with her aunt’s battle with breast cancer, Pistor’s mother-in-law and a family friend are breast cancer survivors. “I just felt like I wanted to do something. I was tired of being mad and wanted to do something about it,” says the New Westminster resident. “I started thinking about what I would do for a fundraising idea. A print came into my mind.” Pistor, a Saskatchewan native, works in social media and writes the Prairie Girl in the City blog. While both women live in New West, they met when Pistor hired DeWolff to design her website – and then asked her to collaborate on the fundraiser.

Have a heart: Kait DeWolff, left, and Jennifer Pistor, right, have teamed up on A Hart for the Cause, which is selling a print to raise

funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. “I had an idea but I knew I couldn’t actually make any of that happen. It wasn’t going to be pretty if I did it,” Pistor laughs. “I got together with Kait, we had a coffee and had this great chat. One of her aunts had gone through it as well, so it really resonated with her. We had a couple of creative meetings, chatted about it and a print

was born.” DeWolff, who works in web and graphic design, was eager to take part in the project. “I think cancer is one of those things that touches so many people. It’s not just the person that is fighting the cancer, it is their families and everything like that,”

she says. “I have had cancer in my family, it’s breast cancer too. I even had a friend in high school who was 17 and had to have a double mastectomy. It hits all ages. It’s important to see that people care.” A New Westminster native, DeWolff ran ◗Art Page 8

‘Traffic chaos’ around school raises concerns BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Qayqayt Elementary School parents are appealing to the city for action to help address “traffic chaos” around the school before a tragedy occurs. Rhonda Field, a parent at the school, said people have been double parking and

parking in the middle of the road. She said the traffic issues have led to people yelling and swearing and almost resulted in fisticuffs. “There seems to be a lack of traffic control and markings,” she recently told city council. “It has been leading to daily chaos at the drop-off and pickup times.” Field said she’s been advised that traffic

is being studied and it’s unlikely there will be any action until construction is finished at the school. “We have to say that our parents are very concerned about the situation and we are calling on council to facilitate an immediate solution before there is a tragic accident,” she said. “We have got some proposed solutions for these problems. The

first thing is we really feel that having crosswalks painted on the intersection surrounding the school would be very helpful because there are no crosswalks.” Installation of curb cuts at major intersections would help with accessibility, said Field. “The installation of a four-way stop at ◗Traffic Page 8

◗ SURVEY/NEW WESTMINSTER SCHOOL BOARD

New high school tops the list for readers R

eaders ranked the New Westminster Secondary replacement project as the top education election issue, according to results from The Record’s online survey. The survey, conducted from Oct. 1 to 14, attracted 74 respondents, who were asked to select the top three education issues of most concern. Readers ranked the high school as the number 1 education issue in New Westminster, with 51 votes. The second top-ranked concern was the school district’s budget, with 50 votes. The third-ranked issue

was education programs, with 30 votes. Readers also had the opportunity to voice their own concerns, beyond those listed on the survey. Issues included support for special needs students, traffic safety in school zones and “crony nepotism.” “Get the high school built for crying out loud,” one reader wrote, while another wanted improved relations between the government and teachers, and yet another questioned why the district’s $7 million deficit came as a surprise.

One reader raised the “influence of labour on candidate slates” as a concern, by while another mentioned the “weird mix” of industrial and residential land use in Queensborough as a contributing factor to traffic problems. Readers also raised ongoing revitalization and neighbourhood beautification as concerns. turnout at the polls. “I find it very frustrating that voter turnout is so extremely low, and that people are actually proud to be apathetic and dismissive of our political system,” another reader wrote.

As a bonus survey question, readers were asked to tell us why they vote, and they told us they turn up at the polls to express their choices, justify their viewpoints and shore up their right to complain. “Voting is a privilege and a responsibility,” one reader said. “All citizens are obliged to become informed and cast their vote. Otherwise, no complaining later on.” Some readers also expressed upset with low voter

MORE POLITICAL WANNABES RUNNING IN 2014 THAN IN 2011 CIVIC ELECTION

22 candidates vying for six council seats BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Vacancies are opening up on New Westminster city council and school board as several incumbents prepare to vacate their seats. When nominations for the Nov. 15 civic election closed at 4 p.m. on Oct. 10, four candidates had filed paperwork to run for mayor, 22 for city councillor and 13 for school trustee. That’s an increase from the 34 who ran in 2011, when there were four mayoral candidates, 18 councillor contenders and 12 trustee hopefuls. On the mayor’s front, four-term mayor Wayne Wright will face challenges from three-term councillor Jonathan Cote, 2011 mayoral candidate James Crosty and 2011 councillor candidate Vladimir Krasnogor. In 2011, Cote was the top councillor vote getter with 6,481 votes, compared to Wright’s 6,633 votes for the mayor’s seat. Crosty, garnered 3,139 votes in his 2011 bid for mayor and Krasnogor got 1,098 votes in the 2011 councillor race. With Cote running for mayor and longtime councillor Betty McIntosh retiring, 22 candidates will be vying for six spots on city council: John Ashdown, Marge Ashdown, Jim Bell, Tracey Block, Heather Boersma, David Brett, Catherine Cartwright, Calvin Donnelly, Mike Folka, Raj Gupta, Bill Harper, Patrick Johnstone, Matt Kadioglu, Tej Kainth, Gerry Liu, Jaimie McEvoy,

Scott McIntosh, Gavin Palmer, Chuck Puchmayr, Mary Trentadue, Lorrie Williams and Harm Woldring. The councillor race includes four incumbents (Harper, McEvoy, Puchmayr and Williams), former councillor Donnelly and previous council candidates John Ashdown, Bell, Liu and Palmer. In what may be a first in New Westminster, Marge Ashdown will be vying for a council seat against her husband, John. McIntosh is retiring but her son Scott is hoping to put another McIntosh on city council. Bell, as some voters may recall, sought spots on both city council and school board in the 2008 election, something he’s trying once again this time round. A number of local residents are contenders for council, including several who are involved with local community and business associations. In what may be a first for New Westminster civic elections, two of the council candidates – Gupta and Kadioglu – are realtors who live in Vancouver, as is school trustee candidate Pandey. Candidates who filed by the Oct. 10 deadline are considered preliminary. The final declaration of candidates will be posted on the city’s website on Oct. 20, once the challenge period ends.

Meet the candidates

Now that you know who they are, you’ll soon get to hear what they want to do if elected in the Nov. 15 civic election. Three all-candidates meetings have been scheduled, all in the last week of October. The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is holding a forum for the mayoral candidates on Tuesday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Inn at the Quay, 900 Quayside Dr. A night later, the Queensborough Residents’ Association is holding an all-candidates meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Queensborough Community Centre, 920 Ewen Ave. For more information, contact qbresidents@yahoo.ca. The last week of the month is shaping up to be busy for candidates, as the New Westminster Downtown Residents’ Association is holding an all-candidates meeting on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. at Holy Trinity Cathedral.

VOTES

Not so fast

A press release from the Cote campaign gives the impression city council supports his bid to be mayor. “New Westminster city council throws

their support behind Jonathan X. Cote in is bid to become the next mayor of New Westminster,” states the title of a press release from the Cote campaign team. While councillors Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Williams have endorsed Cote in his bid for mayor, Coun. Betty McIntosh hasn’t endorsed Cote – or anyone else – for mayor. “It should be ‘some members of council’,” said McIntosh, who said candidates need to ensure they’re using the correct words on printed materials. “I think they are manipulating words.” Mayor Wayne Wright, who is seeking re-election, not surprisingly hasn’t thrown his support behind his council colleague who is running against him.

Open for business

Mayoral candidate Jonathan X. Cote was first out of the gate to open for business. Cote opened his campaign office at 336 Columbia St. on Oct. 4 with a launch party that included activities for kids, so parents could chat with the candidate. Along with being the first candidate to declare his plan to run for mayor and to open a campaign office, Cote also appears to be the first candidate to put up election signs as they started popping up on the Thanksgiving long weekend. ◆ Election news, tips?

was bridges. With the Pattullo Bridge’s future in flux and the Bailey Bridge battle lost by New West, again, it’s not surprising that this issue is top of mind. Coal export concerns were triggered by the Surrey Fraser Docks approved plan for a huge coal transfer facility. The facility will be just a stiff breeze across the river from the city and environmentalists and residents are none too keen on the project. The city has come out against the facility and is attempting to intervene. We were surprised that property taxes was only in sixth place – what happened

to the usual election cries for lower taxes? Crime was low on the list – the exact opposite of our neighbour to the south, Surrey. And, perhaps we should be grateful for that. As for the high school hitting the top of the list for education – we would have been surprised if it hadn’t. Online surveys, of course, are vulnerable to being “plumped” by folks. And ours is no exception. But isn’t that all part of democracy in action? If you phone your like-minded friends and tell them to vote – well, good for you.

IN MY OPINION

Dear Editor:

The Problem: Too many people in our beautiful city don’t have enough to eat. The Solution: I propose that the City of New Westminster be the first in North America to designate just five per cent of every park as garden space for growing food. There are passionate gardeners in every neighbourhood who don’t have access to land, there are hungry people and there are lots of parks. Half the bounty would go to food banks, gardeners could share the rest. Volunteers could run the entire program under guidelines drawn up by the city. The cost would be insignificant and the benefit to the city enormous. Recent news releases predict that food costs will rise 34 per cent this winter because of the drought in California.

Wait for Me Daddy is excellent Dear Editor:

Re: Wait For Me, Daddy statue sends the wrong message, Letters to the editor, The Record, Oct. 8. The letter you recently published condemning the Wait for Me Daddy sculpture as “war profiteering” is misconceived. This sculpture honours the commitment of those who served, equally with the loved ones they left behind, and the pains of separation for both. It’s an excellent, modern war memorial, and a substantial work of art that will endure and attract

Unveiling ‘unforgettable’ Dear Editor:

The unveiling and dedication of the Wait For Me Daddy memorial on Oct. 4 was a moving and unforgettable experience. It was a privilege and honour to participate as one of the two veterans of the B.C. Regiment who marched down Eighth Street in 1940. Your mayor, staff and officials were the most gracious hosts. We cannot praise and thank them enough. The selection and creation of this memorial was an inspired action by the council. Many monuments commemorate events and heroes, but I’m not aware of any that give recognition to the home and family that must endure and cope with the separation that wars create. It is a sacrifice and service they perform. And, just as their men in uniform suffered wounds and casualties, homes too were hurt and broken. The photograph gained great fame. Now the memorial gives constant and

permanent evidence of the message it so graphically portrays. New Westminster can take pride in this unique tribute of remembrance. I married a New Westminster girl who came to teach in Summerland. Our first child was born in the Royal Columbian Hospital. New Westminster was a second home to us, and we have many happy memories of it.

And because of the glut of condo towers, it’s to be a rental tower. Will any studies be done on the feasibility of that? Meanwhile, with all the new units comes higher

Lacrosse a powerful force

We Make Great

Thank you so much for the amazing articles on the history of lacrosse and its players. I really did not realize so many talented athletes of lacrosse actually resided in our community and have gone on to be accomplished professionals. That said, legacies, mentoring, coaching and volunteering are key component’s in the development of our children both physically and mentally. I am grateful to all in the lacrosse community for being so involved and caring about all their athletes. It’s an absolute pleasure to watch the young kids work their way through this sport. So many of them become coaches and referees; not to mention those who were given scholarships through lacrosse. Many, many thanks again, Michelle Ballarin, New Westminster

density, and nowhere downtown is there a pool or library to service the people. 900 Carnarvon would be a good spot for that since it’s right on the SkyTrain line.

I’m not sure where to cast my vote this election fearing it’ll mean more of this type of “planning” and “consultation.” Mathew ‘Renko’ Styranka is a New Westminster resident.

THE RECORD STORY: “New West goes $1.9 million over budget on Anvil Centre project” – Oct. 7

Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I alejandro alcantara: I hope the increase in the costs for this wonderful building does not make it impossible for other casino projects to be funded, such is the case of the Queensborough Pedestrian Bridge (there was funding allocated in the casino money to build the pedestrian bridge). Not all the money should always be spent on the mainland and we can see it happens often - most of Queensborough does not have side walks. Again, the mayor has done an amazing job in transforming the city from “where no one wanted to be” to “where many want to move to” - no confusion about that. He is one of the best mayors I have ever seen at work, but Queensborough needs lots of attention and the pedestrian bridge would be a nice ﬁrst step in that direction! Maybe this would be Queensborough’s turn to beneﬁt from the great changes taking place in New West.

the New Westminster Salmonbellies women’s team for seven years. In her work life, she specializes in web and graphic design and creates and sells greeting cards and art prints through KaitCreative. “She got me to come on and paint her idea. Jennifer had pretty much thought about the concept. She asked me what I thought. I thought it was perfect,” says DeWolff. “It was pink, the colour of the charity. It’s a heart. It was really nice to think of something people could hold on to.” While a pink ribbon is the symbol often associated with breast cancer, the duo sought to create a design that was universal and beautiful. The result is A Hart for the Cause – which combines a Heart with Art. “Our goal was to find a simple and lovely way for you to donate to this amazing cause. We have designed a watercolour

print of the ultimate symbol of love, a heart. There is so much symbolism with this one simple shape. The heart itself simply means love,’” say the duo in a statement about the project. “The pink, of course represents the charity colour, its imperfections represents the beauty of imperfections in all of us, and the ombre is for our hope of fading out the effects of this disease through early detection and one day a cure.” Throughout October, the print is available locally at Brick and Mortar Living (which also stocks DeWolff’s cards and prints) and Lofty Living, and through DeWolff’s Etsy shop. The prints are $20, with all funds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Society.

New Westminster has given the green light to its master transportation plan. After more than two years of studies and public consultation, New Westminster city council has adopted the final version of its new master transportation plan. The plan will guide the city’s actions on transportation planning and investment for the next 25 years. “The plan is great,” said Coun. Jonathan Cote, who co-chaired the master transportation plan committee. “It’s one thing. It’s just one thing with a piece of paper. It’s the implementation that really matters.” A staff report outlines some of the goals of the plan to be implemented in the coming years: ! creating a walkable community;. ! making cycling a comfortable and attractive way to move through the city; ! providing attractive and convenient transit for trips within New Westminster and the region; ! preserving livability by reducing the negative impacts of traffic through neighbourhood traffic calming and encouraging walking and cycling; and ! managing local and regional travel through the city, including regional goods movement. The city’s goal is to remove Royal Avenue, East Eighth Avenue, and portions of East Columbia Street and Ewen Avenue from the city’s truck route network – a plan that raised some concerns from Burnaby

city council members. Cote said Royal Avenue would be the route that has the most significant impact on New Westminster’s neighbours, but he believes that should be part of a larger discussion about the replacement of the Pattullo Bridge. “We need to make sure our master transportation plan fits with the regional transportation plan. I think there might be a bit of an overreaction in terms of what we are talking about,” Cote told The Record. “Our plan still recognizes that New Westminster plays a role for a goods movement strategy, but we do have some routes that are going through neighbourhoods that are just not appropriate for major truck routes – and some that don’t even have a major demand.” Cote believes removing the four proposed truck routes would have “minimal” impact on Burnaby. “I think what New Westminster wants to try and do is try and find a good longterm solution for the goods movement corridor. I think that would ultimately require support from other levels of government,” he said. “The long-term vision is actually to create some kind of bypass corridor that connects Stewardson all the way to Brunette, to really allow that bypass route for goods movement to go through.” Cote said there is a huge demand for goods movement, and traffic overall, to move from the Queensborough Bridge and Marine Way to get to Highway 1, and the city needs to find a long-term solution to move goods through the city.

For tickets and schedule, scan with Layar

You can sink your teeth into this fest New West Doc Fest is expanding its repertoire for its fourth incarnation BY JULIE MACLELLAN REPORTER jmaclellan@royalcityrecord.com

It began three years ago as an environmental film festival – and though New West Doc Fest has since broadened its horizons, it’s not forgetting its roots. The annual festival returns to Landmark Cinemas at New West station Oct. 22, 23 and 24. “We’re pretty excited,” says Kathleen Somerville, one of the festival organizers, who’s taking time out from her organizing duties for a phone interview. “We’re really happy this year.” The three-day festival includes five feature films, opening with Just Eat It, a documentary about food waste from the creators of The Clean Bin Project. That documentary screened at the

Vancouver International Film Festival and received so much attention that extra screenings were added, Somerville notes. She’s expecting that it will be popular at the local festival too, particularly since it’s on a topic that affects everyone’s daily life. “We always want to have something that relates to food or the environment that we can all relate to,” she says. She says it’s important for the festival not just to provide the “doom and gloom” stories but to offer up ways that people can do their part to solve the problems facing the planet. “It’s something that you can do. It’s a way that people can connect,” she explains. Also on the opening-night bill is Sturla Gunnarsson’s documentary Monsoon, an exploration of the annual rains that descend upon India. Day 2 includes a screening of Finding Vivian Maier, a documentary tracing the life of the late career nanny who earned a posthumous reputation as one of America’s most accomplished street photographers. It also features Jesse Moss’s The Overnighters,

tracing the story of what happened in small-town Williston, North Dakota when thousands of desperate men and women flocked to the town in search of work in the booming oil industry. The festival closes with Boyhood, Richard Linklater’s groundbreaking fictional coming-of-age story that was filmed over 12 years with the same cast. Boyhood is a departure for the festival in that it’s the first non-documentary film to be screened. “We have evolved to include more mainstream kind of films,” Somerville notes, adding that the screening of Boyhood is serving as their “bridge” to next year’s festival – when organizers plan to branch out from being a documentary film festival to being simply a film festival that includes documentaries. This year, as in years past, organizers are offering plenty of what Somerville terms “value-added” events to bring the festival atmosphere to life. The festival will open and close with a performer from the Vancouver Storytelling

Rain or Shine

Society. The festival also includes musical entertainment and Q-and-A sessions, as well as the showing of various short films during the evening screenings. It all wraps up with an “after party” on Friday night after the final film. That’s being held at Wild Rice Restaurant at River Market, and it’s free for anyone who has a ticket from any of the screenings. It includes complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a chance to mingle with other festivalgoers to talk over the week’s events. “We wanted to create opportunities for dialogue,” Somerville says. Tickets for individual films are $7 regular, or $5 for students and seniors, or you can buy an all-festival pass for $25. Tickets can be bought at the door or online in advance – Somerville recommends buying in advance because some films may sell out. For the full schedule or to buy tickets in advance, see www.newwestdocfest.ca. You can also find the festival on Twitter, @ NewWestDocFest, and on Facebook – search for New West Doc Fest.

Heritage Ukulele Club packs the place from 6 to 8 p.m., followed by an open mike session. The club also hosts their special Uke Joint night on the last Tuesday of each month – this month, that’s Oct. 28. And, as a special Sunday treat, the Heritage Grill also offers live music from noon to 4 p.m., alternating between the boogie woogie piano sounds of Mike Van Eyes and the smooth Latin jazz of Tavares. The Heritage Grill is at 447 Columbia St. Check out the heritagegrill.com for all the details.

A series of informal, public discussions with cuttingedge, award-winning SFU science researchers is coming to New Westminster for the first time this fall. Café Scientifique is a discussion series connecting research to important issues of interest to the community. The first session last month featured a discussion on the mystery of mass by Dugan O’Neil, SFU associate professor of physics, chief science officer at Compute Canada and deputy spokesperson of ATLAS-Canada On Oct. 22, the topic is bees. Elizabeth Elle, professor and chair of SFU’s biological sciences department, will discuss recent declines in bee populations and concerns about how they will impact natural and agricultural systems. Elle will talk about what we can do to help with pollinator conservation and examine whose responsibility pollinator conservation should be. On Nov. 19, the topic is “It’s a materials world – from sticks and stones to nanotechnology, how materials have changed our world,” presented by Neil Branda, Chemistry professor, SFU Canada research chair and the executive director of 4D LABS, a research centre for advanced materials and nano-scale devices. Branda will discuss modern society’s increasing dependence on the development and use of advanced materials. Café Scientifique could continue in New West in the spring if the fall events are well attended, according to SFU communications officer Diane Mar-Nicolle. All sessions will be held in a private room at Boston Pizza (1045 Columbia St.) from 7 to 8:30 p.m. with refreshments available for purchase. Everyone is welcome to attend; reserve a free seat by emailing: cafe_scientifique@sfu.ca. Café Scientifique could continue in New West in the spring if the fall sessions are well attended, according to Mar-Nicolle.

New West teen counts down to Mars mission

BY JENNIFER THUNCHER REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

If things go according to plan, Paige Hunter will leave her family and friends in New Westminster in 2024 and never come back. Hunter, 19, is the youngest on an ever-shrinking list of aspiring astronauts hoping to go to Mars as part of a program by the not-for-profit foundation, Mars One, which aims to establish a human settlement on the red planet. In December, the Netherlands-based foundation announced it had whittled down the candidates from 200,000 to 1,058 hopefuls. In May, that number was reduced to 705 (418 men and 287 women). After she made it through the first round, Hunter said she and the other applicants who hail from all corners of the globe, had to submit the results of a series of medical tests. She passed. Hunter first heard about the Mars mission about a year ago from her high school chemistry teacher. There was a $40 application fee, but the only criteria to apply were to be 18 or older, physically fit and keen. “I couldn’t pass it up,” she said. “It is unprecedented in human history to travel to a different planet, so that is the ultimate legacy.” Once settled on Mars the

Adventurer: Paige Hunter, 19, seen here on a climb up Mt. Hood, is an avid mountaineer and an aspiring astronaut who hopes to go to Mars in 2024. team will perform geological studies and explore. “I think of it like Star Trek,” Hunter said. She isn’t worried about it being a one-way trip. “There will be things happening on Earth I will miss out on, but then I think that everyone on Earth is missing out on things happening on Mars, so you just trade one thing for another.” Only four people, two

women and two men, will go on the first manned mission, but loneliness isn’t a concern for Hunter either because she said the plan is for more crews to arrive every two years. Hunter said her mom, a lawyer, is against the whole idea because it is too dangerous. Her father, David, also a lawyer, is skeptical but supportive. “The fact that it is 10 years down the road or

more, by that point the parenting will have ended and if that is truly what she wanted to do with her life I would have to say, ‘Well, go for it,’” he said. He said he has known his daughter was tough and determined since he took her to Long Beach on Vancouver Island when she was three years old. “Where a lot of kids would walk for half a block and want to sit down and be carried, she would literally walk for miles,” he said. Hunter started mountain climbing with her dad when she was 13 years old with a trek to the summit of Mount Shuksan in Washington State, carrying a 20-kilogram pack on her back. Since then she has climbedMountKilimanjaro in Africa and several other mountains in the United States and Switzerland. When The Record caught up with Hunter, she had returned from climbing Monte Rosa, the highest mountain in Switzerland. Her adventurous spirit and physical fitness will likely help her survive the next round of the Mars One selection process. An announcement of those still in the running is expected before the end of this year. Hunter said she is as ready as she can be. A quick Internet search shows there are many who question if the mission is actually possible.

The mission will cost an estimated $6 billion US. According to the Mars One website, the foundation has so far raised $573,923 US from private and corporate donations. Hunter believes the mission will happen, but questions the proposed timeline. The first unmanned Mars trip is planned for 2018. If the manned mission doesn’t pan out, she has

other plans. “I would want a job with the United Nations or the Red Cross or the Canadian Foreign Service,” she said. Hunter is currently studying international development at McGill University, until she “hears from Mars One.” For more information on the mission, go to www. mars-one.com.

MEdiCAl EStHEtiCS by KAtiE #406 - 625 - 5TH AvE nEw wEStMinStEr

Q: How long should my resume be? A: A typical resume is between one to two pages; however,

it really depends on your level of position and tenure. For example, if you are seeking your first job, you are likely going to lack the knowledge, skills, and experience to fill two full pages. Thus, one page is appropriate, and you will likely fill your one page document with volunteer experience, education, and demonstration of your essential and transferrable skills. If you have been in a professional capacity for a few years then a two page resume will likely suffice. At this time, you expectedly will be able to fill your two page document with hard skills, professional development, education, work experience, and accomplishments. You certainly would not want to fit all of the aforementioned content into a one page document; otherwise, you would need to make the font very small which will annoy your reader, especially if they have poor eyesight! Thus, two pages are appropriate. If you are working at an executive level and have 10+ years of experience, spilling over onto a third page is acceptable. At this level, you may have statistics, publications, memberships, or licenses that make you a highly desirable candidate. So, the real answer is, It depends. Where do you fit?

ASK A REALTOR Q. I

am considering selling my modern home in Queens Park. I worry that buyers looking in this neighborhood are looking for heritage, not modern. Are my concerns warranted?

A. Ten years ago I would sigh when

asked to market a modern home in Queens Park for just that reason. The white Derrick Thornhill elephant syndrome. Today’s modern Park Georgia Realty homes in Queens Park are no more difficult to sell than heritage homes with their labour of love personalities. Perhaps even easier. There are many reasons for this. Less free time, reality TV’s influence on expectations, and the changing ethnicity of our community to name a few. A million dollars spent in Queens Park does not guarantee you an ensuite or a large kitchen in a heritage home.

October is dedicated to not just general cancer awareness but specifically breast cancer awareness. According to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada, approximately 67 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day and 14 Canadian women will die from it every day. We all know someone who had their life affected by this disease and with these stats alone; and sadly until a cure is found there will be others in our lives as well who will have to deal with breast cancer. This month I invite my colleague and another community expert Sarah Alicia Elder to also weigh in on the changes a cancer patient may experience with hair loss and hair regrowth. Skin and hair – why it’s different now For a woman battling cancer, it affects her entire system and the skin being the largest organ in the body is severely affected during treatment. While chemotherapy, radiation, medications and other interventions are meant to pave the way to remission, they do change the entire body chemistry of the patient and in turn changes what types of products or treatments she can safely use during this time. For patients in chemotherapy, a common side effect is hair loss. The change in the DNA composition after the treatment is something to be considered as the hair may grow differently during the regrowth stage. Help is on the way It’s helpful to be aware of what specific and targeted treatments are available for the patient and what types of products are recommended for use while undergoing treatment. The concept of touch in the healing journey is something that is often overlooked. It’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, Dr.’s appointments and other stresses but one should consider what options are available to women who are affected by cancer. As a professional who’s certified in Oncology Esthetics, I advise patients to consider the following: • Skin condition – As the internal chemistry changes, the skin which is the largest organ are targeted with these changes. What skin changes have you noticed? • Therapeutic treatments – There are a select number of safe therapeutic treatments that the patient can have and not necessarily the same ones they used to have before treatment. • Products - The skin is fragile during this time and the products used for a regular skin care regimen needs to be formulated to suit the condition of the skin. Patients undergoing cancer treatment may also notice changes in their hair and scalp. Here are some helpful pointers from professional hairstylist and hair piece specialist Sarah Alicia Elder: • Be prepared for your hair to change. Not everyone will lose their hair during chemotherapy, however colour, texture, density and even type may be affected. For example someone with curly hair may have a regrowth of straight hair or vice versa. • Stay away from chemical products like hair dyes and stainers. The chemicals that created colour can react with chemotherapy which will cause hair and scalp damage. There are solutions that can help hair regrowth and scalp care. As treatment regimens are different for each patient, always consult with your doctor for their final approval. • Fo[ paYUe_Ys WUYh o[ WUYhouY haU[: o Massaging your head every day with your choice of a few different types of oils such as; mineral oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil or shea butter. o Please note that with certain cancers it’s difficult to raise the arms and having a regular appointment at your hair dressers just for a gentile head massage is one way you can help keep your scalp/hair healthy. • HaU[ ca[e YUps: o Don’t over use hot tools like straightening irons and curling irons. o Do use a blow dryer but only on a low setting. o Using products like leave-in conditioners or heat protectors help as well. o When showering use cool water on your head and scalp, try to stay away from hot water. Cool water helps with the side effects of Chemotherapy, since it has the feeling for some of an almost burn like feel from the inside out. • CoXe[U_g Vou[ hea\: o Don’t be ashamed of your hair, remember you’re not alone! However using hats, scarves and even wigs to help protect your sensitive scalp from the sun and other environmental dangers is a must. o Limit the amount of exposure to sun and other harsh weather. o Some sun is great for hair growth but in small doses.

ASK A COUNSELLOR Q: I am writing to you since we have just finished Thanksgiving and it is the same every year. My mom drinks too much and her and my dad fight in front of us adult kids. I brought my girlfriend to the turkey meal at my parents’ place but I had some hesitations about it. As I had anticipated, I was so embarrassed at how they acted even with her there. I know that I cannot Mary Longworth change my parents, but what should I do with this sort of situation? Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving or anyone’s birthday it is the same thing each time for years now. A: It is hard when a family is struggling with addiction and dysfunctional behaviours and when it has been happening for years. You are right you cannot change your parents’ behaviour but you can put up some boundaries with what you are willing to take. Often a few counselling appointments to explore this topic as well as sometimes attending Al-anon can help a person in your position.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Dr. Ruby Tse

Is it safe to buy coloured or cosmetic contact lenses from night markets or online costume stores?

A: Contact lenses are medical devices that are placed directly in the eye and should be properly fitted

by a Doctor of Optometry to ensure that the fit and vision are adequate. Contact lenses are not intended to be an over-the-counter commodity. Buying contact lenses from night markets or online stores that do not require a prescription or proper fitting have increased the rate of eye infections among contact lens wearers. In a number of cases, vision has also been permanently lost due to scarring from infections. One common problem from improperly fitted contact lenses occurs if they are too tight and become suctioned to the eye. Although they can seem very comfortable, upon removal, a tight contact lens can cause an abrasion on the cornea (the outer layer of the eye), similar to peeling off a bandage too quickly. This is not only very painful, but the presence of an abrasion or wound creates openings in the eye, making it more vulnerable to bacteria, viruses, and fungi, many of which can destroy an eye in hours or days. Another cause of serious infections can be the solution in which the contact lens is packaged. This may not be as sterile as commonly believed unless it is manufactured by a company approved by Health Canada. Even something as common as tap water contains millions of bacteria and amoebae that can potentially scar your eye permanently. Like eyeballs, contact lenses come in many different sizes so they must be properly fitted by a professional. Wearing contact lenses should be a positive and painless experience, so see your Doctor Optometry for advice and customized care.

We’d like to know, are you currently going through cancer treatment? How has your skin and hair change after cancer treatment? What was the number one thing that helped you through this difﬁcult time?

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q: A:

Why is my skin so sensitive and dry during chemotherapy and radiation?

On chemotherapy you can expect your skin to become drier and more fragile than ever before. Your nails may become brittle, your skin and nails may become discolored from the medicines you are receiving, and you will even be more sun sensitive from them too. KATIE MARSHALL If you take good care of your skin when you are on chemotherapy it’s possible to have soft, healthy, comfortable, and attractive skin throughout your treatment process. Even more important, healthy skin is essential for your physical well-being during this difficult time. Dry, sensitive skin is prone to eczema, itching and sores that can become infected. Remember, your skin is a huge organ. It’s exposed to the germs and chemicals of the outside world. When you are undergoing chemotherapy, your immune system is suppressed and you are more vulnerable than ever before – which means you need healthy skin to protect you. Use only gentle cleansers that don’t strip your skin’s natural oils, which leads to a breakdown of your skin’s fragile outer barrier called the stratum corneum. When you take skin with a weakened stratum corneum out into the world, it can’t hold up! Switch your cleansers right now to support your skin’s new fragility. Even with gentle cleansers, you need to be sure not to over-clean your skin and you need to rinse them off thoroughly. Be mindful of your current skin care, some of the products you did use may be too active for your current skin. If you’re unsure of what to do with your skin talk to your local Certified Oncology Esthetician.

Q: Can I use Tree Tea Oil on my

Dog or Cat?

A: No. Tea Tree Oil is a plant that is poisonous to Cats and Dogs. Tea Tree Oil is taken from the leaves of the Eastern Australian Melaeuca alternifolia Dr. Hasselaar and Dr. Gibson plant and is known for its anti-itching, antifungal and antibacterial properties. It is extremely dangerous to use tea tree oil as a flea preventive. Tea Tree oil can cause topical irritation or reaction and severe to life-threatening disease. This can occur with licking or absorption through the skin. Watch for these common signs if your pet has been exposed to Tea Tree Oil

Low body temperature

Tremors

Weakness

Coma

Unsteadiness

Increased liver enzymes

Inability to walk Tea tree oil is often found in varying concentrations and should NEVER be used on pets. The 100% concentration is the most dangerous and as little as 7 drops has resulted in poisoning. If your dog or cat is exposed to tea tree oil, call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline immediately for life-saving treatment advice. 24/7 Animal Poison Control Centre 1-800-213-6680.

Looking back a century OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

here has been a lot of attention paid to the fact that this is the 100-year anniversary of the start of the First World War, “the war to end all wars,” and also the 75-year anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War, and there will be more as the year winds down. Today we would like to look back to 1914 and a few things that took place in New Westminster. Many people who walk in Glenbrook Ravine Park take note of the massive pipe at the base of the ravine. Some sections seem very old, while current maintenance seems to deal with more modern sections. Where this pipe meets the Fraser River, there are fully up-to-date connections and controls with impressive apparatus, covers and even a separate enclosure. But the old version links back

100 years. At that time, the city and the federal government had come to an agreement on the Glen Brook sewer project that was to control the flow of the Glen’s water within a large pipe. For many decades, this huge pipe and outflow of ground water entered the Fraser from a pipe that extended out into the river and for some, along with a massive old stump, it had become a landmark. A modernization of the piping system and the creation of Sapperton Landing Park eliminated the outflow portion, but in the Ravine Park you can still see the pipes of the 1914 project, which was a vital infrastructure effort in its day. Another 1914 project in the general vicinity of the sewer work of 100 years ago is well known to some locals who walk along Columbia Street between Richmond Street and McBride Boulevard and amazing to others who come upon it by chance. This is the retaining wall in front of the Palace Quay residential towers, the front portion of this location

being the former site of the Penitentiary housing or “Pen Row.” During the 1914 project, Hassam Paving worked a double shift to complete the job faster during the construction of a retaining wall in front of the “Penitentiary Row.” One hundred years later this wall, though sometimes threatened, is still performing its task. The city in 1914, presumably to be ready for the increased trade expected from the new port arrangement and the opening of the Panama Canal, added the position of “industrial commissioner.” This person was to have an office in city hall near the treasurer’s office, to deal with matters of publicity and visitors, and demonstrate “the advantages of this city and locality as a desirable point for settlement and establishment of new industries.” The job paid the princely sum of $100 per month, as long as the work was satisfactory, and the commissioner was to report on the first of each month on recent activities. All from 1914, 100 years ago.

Camaraderie: Mike Hoyer, right, with two Pakistani men on a Saturday morning.

Feeding the world

Villagers in southeast Pakistan recently received a helping hand thanks to Canadian volunteers. New West resident Mike Hoyer was among a group of volunteers who spent last month travelling around Sindh, a southeastern province where drought has caused malnutrition, lack of water for drinking and irrigation, problems with sanitation and death. Hoyer, a volunteer for the Canadian Food Grains Bank, was in Pakistan to help with the final days of a food distribution project sponsored by World Renew. When The Record last spoke with Hoyer, he and

his fellow volunteers had distributed 2,000 packages of food at four different locations. According to Hoyer, each package is worth about $50 and includes flour, rice, lentils, tea, sugar, dates, matches and cooking oil. The packages are meant to feed a family of about eight to 12 people for one month. By the end of the trip, the organization was expected to have distributed enough food for about 35,000 people, Hoyer told The Record in an email from Pakistan. – Cayley Dobie
