The Union Gospel Mission in New Westminster served up a Thanksgiving feast to hundreds of folks on Monday.

The mission dished out a turkey dinner with all the fixings to 255 people in two sittings throughout the afternoon at the mission that’s located in downtown New Westminster.

Staff and a team of 27 volunteers prepared meals that included 200 pounds of turkey, 150 pounds of potatoes, 10 gallons of gravy and 10 pounds of cranberry sauce.

“People loved it.They thought the food was really great,” said Val Mah, a supervisor at the New Westminster mission. “There was a real sense of community.”

The City of New Westminster has proclaimed Oct. 11 to 17 as Homelessness Action Week.

The Thanksgiving Day dinner kicked off a week of events.See www.nwhomeless.ca for more details of the week’s events.

Election 2015 ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

Mix and mingle with your local candidates Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A local church is giving New West residents a chance to chat with local candidates just days before the Oct. 19 federal election.

Community members are invited to a meet-and-greet and platform night with New Westminster-Burnaby candidates on Thursday Oct. 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Five Stones Church, 612 Columbia St. Izzy Lourenco, who is one of the event’s coordi-

nators, said organizers have had a very good response from candidates. She said Chloe Ellis (Conservative), Sasha Ramnarine (Liberal), Kyle Routledge (Green) and Joseph Theriault (Marxist-Leninist) have all confirmed they’re attending and she’s awaiting word on whether Peter Julian (NDP) can make it.

“It’s meet-and-greet night. It sounds like we are going to have each candidate give a little intro about who they are and what their party platform is,” she said.

“I suspect we’ll throw them out a question or two, not from the public but just to let people hear their responses.Then it’s a meetand-greet time. It’s a lot more face to face, a lot more personal.”

Everybody is welcome to attend.

BRISK BUSINESS AT ADVANCE POLLS Many New Westminster resident got a jump on the Oct. 19 election by voting at advance polls last weekend.

While the number of

votes cast in New Westminster-Burnaby weren’t known at press time, some local residents reported good crowds. Advance polls were open Oct. 9 to 12.

“We estimate that 1.2 million electors voted at advance polls on Monday,” Dorothy Sitek, Elections Canada’s media contact in B.C., stated in an email to the Record. “This brings the total number of voters for all four days of advance polls at this election to more than 3.6 million.This represents an increase of 71

per cent over the number of electors who voted at advance polls in 2011.”

VOTING WITH THEIR TASTE BUDS While each of the three main parties has held top spot in federal election polls during the 11-week campaign, the NDP burger has held on to top spot since Day 1 at Burger Heaven.

The local eatery is following a longstanding tradition of offering a b(un)-official burger poll for the 2015 federal election. As of Tuesday,

Oct. 13, the NDP burger had 813 votes, followed by the Liberal burger at 769, the Conservative burger at 451 and the Green burger at 347.Trailing behind were the Undecided burger at 198 and the Bloc burger at 89.

VOTING DAY Don’t forget: Monday, Oct. 19 is election day. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in B.C.Voters can check their voter information card or www.elections. ca for where to vote.

‘Show up to everything possible, says former MP attend community meetings during – and after – election campaigns as it makes them aware of issues at the grassroots level and shows accountability to the people who elected them and pay their salary.

“If I had my way, I would show up to everything possible,” he said.

Some community members have taken to social media to voice concerns that New WestminsterBurnaby Conservative candidate Chloe Ellis has been

a no-show at local meetings.

“I don’t know what instructions she has been given, or the strategy,” Forseth said. “My view is you should show up to them all.

I remember when I was first elected, I think I went to 13 different community events – even strata councils put on their own information session. I really enjoyed them, even though there may have only been 25 people in the room. It was wonderful.You were able to present yourself. I think it’s very impor-

tant.”

While there’s an old saying about all-candidates meetings that “there’s no votes there,” Forseth thinks there’s value in attending the election events.

“It’s not so much what happens in the room but how it is reported, that makes the difference” he said. “I always felt, even when certain ones were completely stacked against me and were subversively organized by the NDP, I knew that anyway and

would just go in there and enjoy myself and present a viable alternative.”

Forseth has popped by Ellis’s campaign office but hasn’t been actively involved in her campaign. If he had a chance, he’d encourage her to attend the meetings.

“I would.That would be my style,” he said. “Things have really changed. I remember the ’93 campaign.

There was no such thing as the Internet.They actually had a fax machine and we had telephones.We did

door-to-door and tried to phone people off of lists. By the ‘97 campaign, most national parties had some kind of a nominal website that you could go to, and emails were beginning to get going.

By the year 2000, if the candidate didn’t have their own webpage and so on, you were really not in the game.

Now, of course, it has even morphed to Facebook and Twitter.”

KYLE ROUTLEDGE GREEN PARTY

WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN YOUR LIFE ARE YOU PROUDEST OF? It’s my journey. I have had to work very hard throughout my life to get where I am. I started working when I was nine years old. It was a positive thing.

I helped out with my family restaurant. Eventually as I got older, in my teenage years, I started running a business.That’s why I had to develop strong business

skills. All throughout university, I had to work close to 50 hours a week, taking full-time classes. I did so because I had to get the education that I wanted. I had to do that because of rising costs in tuition. I needed to get by. I wanted a business degree and also go to law school.That was all in the vision. I had to do that and I did it. … At the time, I didn’t feel like I was doing a lot. I was really good at managing my time.That’s one of the accomplishments I’m really proud of. I had to work hard and I was able to accomplish my goals, within a time period, too.

Continued from page 3 local issue is I would be a champion for the opposition of the proposed export of the U.S. thermal coal at Fraser Surrey Docks.

I can’t speak on behalf of the Conservative candidate, but I know the other candidates on a personal level oppose this. Nobody who lives in New West is in favour of this project.

What the other candidates have been falling back on is, we need to do a more robust and vigorous environmental assessment. I do

environmental assessments for a living; that’s not the answer to this specific question.You’ll also have someone say, it’s not the federal government’s jurisdiction, it’s Port Metro Vancouver that’s going to make the decision.

Again, I don’t agree with that.The Green party’s position, and mine personally as well, is that thermal coal is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases out of all the fossil fuels, on principle, we need to ban the export of it in this country.

The reason that they are exporting U.S. thermal coal through British Columbia is

because they can’t export it in the States because there are laws against it.They have better environmental laws down there then we do, and I’d like to see us implement the same laws and say, no, we don’t support it, you can’t ship it out of our ports, sorry.

I’m proud of the work that I do. Resource extraction and development is going to happen one way or another.

I love that with my job I know at the end of the day I have done everything I can to ensure it is done as responsibly and the highest environmental standards are adhered to as can be.

As long as we are doing things in a responsible and sustainable way, then I have no problem with resource extraction. I take a lot of pride in that.

PETER JULIAN NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY Continued from page 3 homes longer and it actually saves money for the health care system.

The other issues that are important – I’d say there is probably a top five – healthcare being the first, providing support to seniors and raising seniors out of poverty is the second important one.We will raise the GIS

and lower the retirement age back to 65 so that will help bring more seniors out of poverty.

Thirdly, the treatment of our veterans.We see this with the cuts in services to veterans is something that needs to be reversed. I continue to fight for that, including the fight to provide more funding for veterans hospitals, like the George Derby (Centre).

Access to training and education for younger people is something, with B.C. having the highest debtload in the country for students.We need to have a federal government that actually lowers tuition fees and reduces substantially that student debt so more younger Canadians and British Columbians can access post-secondary education training and university.

The fifth would be the economy, generally. Part of how we re-stimulate that is by repairing the infrastructure that is deteriorating but also by bringing in a national child-care program which provides economic stimulus, and lowering the small business tax rate so small businesses can thrive.Those are all elements that can make a difference and will create more jobs right here in New

Westminster and Burnaby.

Those are my five priorities. It’s difficult – when you knock on doors I’d say those are the five issues that come up most regularly, but there’s a lot of diversity in this area so you wouldn’t be able to say that’s the one issue people care about.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Let’s not go down this road again The Lower Mainland’s mayors, bless their hearts, are making another go of raising money for more TransLink infrastructure.

This time, they’re looking into road pricing, a system of tolls based on distance driven, or on bridge or highway use.

But TransLink’s newly appointed government master, Peter Fassbender, says that too will have to

win the support of voters in yet another TransLink referendum.

Let’s not go down this road again.

That another referendum would fail is a given.

The first one never had a faint hope of passing, despite a stupid amount of money being spent to promote theYes vote. It was an expensive, time-consuming mess.

Fewer than half of the ballots were returned and a clear majority of those were marked No. Even those who agreed we need better transit infrastructure proudly voted No because they wanted to “send a message” about their dissatisfaction with how the government allows TransLink to operate without accountability.

And the mayors chose a

You’ve got to admire the steely resolve our government has shown to maintain the status quo .

0.5 per cent sales tax the first time around because their research told them that’s what had the best chance of passing. Road pricing is far more complicated and harder to sell.

You’ve got to admire the steely resolve our government has shown to maintain the status quo, even though the status quo is working to the satisfaction of pretty much no one.

It’s time to read between the lines to see what Fassbender is really saying: Transit service is as good as it’s going to get in the Lower Mainland,TransLink is as transparent and accountable as it’s going to be, and, until there’s a new government in Victoria, don’t expect either of those things to change.

– From the North Shore News

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Liberals stand to gain ground

Whatever the outcome of the Oct. 19 federal election, it seems likely the party that will see the greatest growth in votes and seats will be the Liberal Party of Canada.

It may not form government, but it appears the Liberals may regain a lot of ground that they used to own. And there’s a good chance they may win back some of its turf in B.C. The Liberals went into this election with just the two B.C. seats that it won in 2011, but a number of political observers have suggested it would be wise to reject the 2011 election as typical of anything. Public opinion about the main parties appears to be returning to historical levels, which will benefit the Liberals more than any other party.

In fact, the six elections before the 2011 vote elected, on average, six Liberal MPs in B.C. (a high of nine in 2006).The ’80s were barren years for the party in this province as it held just one seat for almost 15 years.

I noted in this column last week that the NDP’s popularity was sliding and that its leader Tom Mulcair had his work cut out for him. I’ve seen nothing since then to suggest he has been notably successful.

Ironically, a key part of the NDP’s strategic message – that it and it alone was best positioned to defeat the Harper government – may be coming back to haunt the party. The underlying theme of that message was that voters had to flock to whoever had the best

chance of beating the Conservatives. If people are buying into that message, it’s reasonable to assume that they are headed the Liberals’ way more so than the NDP. So how can this play out in B.C.? If we go back a few years, we can see the Liberals used to routinely win seats in Richmond, the North Shore, SouthVancouver, Surrey andVictoria.We can forgetVictoria – the party’s candidate dropped out of the race – but the other cities have ridings where the Liberals have to be given pretty good odds of winning. If they do, they will pick up seats at the expense of the Conservatives (although the NDP’s hopes of winning two new ridings –Vancouver Granville and Burnaby North-Seymour – may be dashed if a Liberal freight train does indeed materialize).

While it’s far from certain that the party will return to the heady days of seven to nine seats, it’s logical to suggest they are going to win more than their current allotment of two B.C. ridings.

Of course, things are very unlikely to return to the Liberal party’s golden days in the modern era of this province.That would be 1968, of course, when the party won 16 of the province’s 23 ridings.Things have changed a lot since then. But one thing hasn’t: in that year the party was led by someone named Trudeau. Just like this time around.

Pier Park taking shape About 100 people attended an open house in March concerning the future Westminster Pier Park. “That is a fantastic response,” Lisa Spitale, the city’s director of development, said. “It says people are really interested in the park.”Spitale said people were most concerned about accessibility, incorporation of the city’s heritage and connection to First Nations, and balance of active and passive uses for the site.

Sapperton Green gives city a chance to tackle traffic

Dear Editor Harper has increased our debt by 45 per cent: to $634 billion. What did we get for this burden on our children? Massive military buildup: fighter jets, military bases in Afghanistan and Kuwait, guns and bombs; more soldiers, more killed in illegal invasions; thousands of civilian deaths in Syria, Iraq, Kosovo, and other victims of our “humanitarian” intervention. Traumatized refugees.

The enemy is us. The U.S., NATO (Canada is a member), and “our” allies in the region provide weapons and support for ISIL: the West’s false flag operation to cover up their push for world domination. At home we get a CSIS empire, more police and riot gear, more prisons. Harper claims he balanced the budget; if so, it was by eliminating and privatizing public services.

Costing the Harper agenda: we can expect more billions wasted, austerity, IMF loans, and bankruptcy. Another four years of his “theocons” (his word) would take the world closer to permanent war and climate catastrophe, at our unsustainable cost.

Hilda Bechler, New Westminster

Action needed on street homelessness Dear Editor I’ve been in contact with the city regarding homeless people sleeping in doorways in uptown New West for the last two years. Two meetings with our strata council, police and city staff, and we’re still no further ahead. I don’t believe this is a police issue, and we have shelters, but in Canada it’s legal to be mentally ill and/or have addiction issues and live on the streets.

The police can only offer them the choice of a shelter; they don’t have to go. People are only arrested for a psych exam if they are a danger to themselves or others. Apparently choosing to sleep outside instead of a room is not crazy. We have to change the way we deal with these issues because it’s not working, and that change comes from the people we have elected into power.

Everyone complains about the rain, but nobody does anything about it.

Dan Riordan, New Westminster

There is help for OCD sufferers Dear Editor In an average elementary school, there are likely five children suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In a medium to large high school, there are typically 20 students battling OCD. And in a workplace of 500, there would be about five employees who have OCD, most likely hiding their symptoms from their colleagues.

In most cases, OCD is a treatable disorder.

However, studies show that people suffer unnecessarily for years because of lack of information and a shortage of therapists trained to properly diagnose and treat OCD. This is an opportunity for your readers to educate themselves about OCD and its treatment during the International OCD Foundation’s OCD Awareness Week, Oct. 11 through 17. The IOCDF helps people find treatment that will curtail suffering and allow them to lead more productive lives. It also funds research and provides support for OCD sufferers and the families and caregivers of OCD patients. A variety of resources can be found at www.iocdf.org.

safetynet2razorwire If only councillors past had found the fortitude and good sense to insist on the three soon to be four vertical neighbourhoods ‘adjacent’ (‘on top of’ being as adjacent as it gets) New Westminster Station/Mall be ‘transit-oriented’ rather than do the oh so silly circle dance with developers that leads to the brutalist multi-storey parking pedestals that not only amplify our motor vehicle problems but reduce efforts at making inviting street-level pedestrian experiences more than token.

If council were serious about guiding our city toward a sustainable community they’d mandate that development on or in convenient walking-distance of a SkyTrain stn or other mass transit hub have no parking for private vehicles – reducing the vehicular impact to visitor parking (and, perhaps, carshare vehicles).

THAT would replace council’s ongoing cheap talk of compromised token efforts with walk that honors their talk.

Looking at housing Continued from page 1

Who’s affected?

Whether you’re a millennial or a baby boomer or something in between, if you want to remain in New West you’ll need to find housing that meets your needs.The city’s goal is to provide housing that meets the needs of different ages, incomes, family types and abilities.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone noted there are people who want to live in NewWestminster but can’t afford to buy an $800,000 single-family home and may have outgrown a two-bedroom apartment. Increasing choice will help residents remain in the city.

Currently, the majority of NewWestminster residents live in apartments or single family homes: 37 per cent of residents live in apartments of less than five storeys; 30 per cent live in apartments of more than five storeys; and 28 per cent live in single-family homes, including suites. Just four per cent of residents live in townhouses or row houses, and less than one per cent live in duplexes

or other types of housing.

Laneway houses, duplexes, triplexes, quadraplexes and small-lot homes are on the city’s radar – and up for discussion as part of the update to the official community plan.

How do you get involved?

Based on staff work and community consultation, the city will present some land-use scenarios to the community at an all-day Our City 2041 seminar on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. Citizens are invited to take part in the event, or to review the material and provide feedback at follow-up workshops that will be held in the community.

Staff will then develop a refined land-use plan for the city, which will once again go to council and the community for input.

“This is not the end of the conversation,” Johnstone said. “This is the beginning of the conversation.”

News Pet business looks to open up in city A longtime Burnaby business that’s served New Westminster residents - and their pets – for years is hoping to make a move to the Royal City.

The Burnaby-New Westminster Animal Hospital is seeking to relocate its operation from Burnaby to 800 12th St. in New West.The business would include a veterinary clinic, a pet-related retail store and a cat hotel that could board up to 12 cats.

The city will consider the application at a public hearing on Monday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. at Anvil Centre. A text amendment to the zoning

bylaw is required because animal boarding isn’t currently allowed in the existing zoning.

A staff report notes that there could be concerns related to the noise that may arise from animal boarding, so the applicant has proposed a number of conditions to ensure there’s no impact on adjacent properties.

The business is currently located just across the border on Kingsway in Burnaby, but the site is being redeveloped so it’s in need of a new home.

Arts & Entertainment Land of Light at gallery Adam Gibbs’ love of the great outdoors began as a young Boy Scout in England – and it’s continued into his life and work as a nature photographer.

Now, local audiences can check out his work in a new exhibition at the Arts Council of New Westminster’s Gallery at Queen’s Park.

Land of Light is on until Nov. 6, with an opening reception set for Sunday, Oct. 18 from 2 to 4 p.m.

A press release notes that the English-born Gibbs moved to Canada in 1979 and spent most of his 20s climbing the Rockies and paragliding from some of the tallest peaks on the continent.

“A few ‘bad choices’ forced Gibbs to give up the extreme sport. Only then did he pick up the camera and discover his talent for taking pictures,” the release says.

Gibbs graduated from Langara Community College in the 1990s and had a chance meeting with representatives from Cornwall Publications – which

Green glow: The nature photography of Adam Gibbs is on display in the next exhibition at the Gallery at Queen’s Park. The opening reception is on this Sunday. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

opened the door to him publishing thousands of photographs in nature and garden magazines across Canada and in the U.K. The company ceased publication last year, so Gibbs decided to switch gears and focus his efforts on solo and group exhibitions.

He uses a technique known as “digital sublimation” to create his prints. He uses gel ink to transfer an image onto polyester-based paper, which is then heat-

pressed onto a polymercoated aluminum sheet.The heat infuses the colours into the metal at the molecular level, resulting in a high-resolution image that appears to have three-dimensional qualities.

Gibbs will be at the gallery for an artist’s talk on Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 7 to 8 p.m.You can check out Land of Light any day during gallery opening hours, Tuesday to Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. Check out www. artscouncilnewwest.org.

we have been able to present films that address a wide range of subjects and embrace other cultures and faiths as represented in our community,” said Stephen O’Shea, the arts council’s executive director, in a press release. “Last Mondays at the Movies attracts many new people who have never attended an arts council event before, allowing us the opportunity to introduce them to our art gallery and other arts council programming.”

The release notes that another part of Last Mondays at the Movies is the sense of community it brings to volunteers.The arts council works with Fraserside Community Services and their supported employment program to allow members to gain work experience. And this past spring, the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society attended a showing as a training exercise for new dogs.

The Arts Council of New Westminster is making sure movies are affordable for everyone in the city.

The arts council’s Last Mondays at the Movies series has returned, with screenings of award-winning independent Canadian and foreign films on the last Monday of each month at Massey Theatre.

The series opened with Boychoir on Sept. 28 and continues on Oct. 26 with I’ll SeeYou In My Dreams.

Tickets are $10 for a single screening, discounted to $8 for students and seniors.

And the arts council has gone even further in its quest to make the movies accessible to all: it offers tickets to the Last Door Recovery Centre and Union Gospel Mission to help their residents feel more connected to the community.This year, that program has also been extended to Fraserside Community Services and the Lookout Emergency Aid Society.

The milk of human kindness Continued from page 16 a cart, topped with little glass bottles, a large stainless-steel pot and two stainless steel pitchers.

Like so many freezies, Hervas empties the contents of partially thawed freezer bags into the pot.

She ladles the thawed milk into the pitchers through a sieve.

“We pool four donors together because that optimizes the fat and protein and all of that that’s in the milk,” Jones says. “It just kind of evens it out.”

Hervas pours the thawed milk into the bottles, which Carag then caps and places in metal racks, ready for one of the bank’s Britishdesigned human-milk pasteurizers, which will heat the milk to 62.5 C for 30 minutes before chilling it to 4 C. The milk is then labelled, sealed and placed in a holding freezer while a sample is sent to the lab and tested.

Banking on health: Above, milk bank coordinator Frances Jones prepares to enter the B.C. Women’s Provincial Milk Bank, where human donor milk is pooled, pasteurized, tested, frozen and shipped. Most of the milk is given to sick or very tiny babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), including the level 3 unit at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.

The last stop: Above, baby Kamila reaches out a pinky to nurse Andrea Cain at the RCH neonatal intensive care unit. Kamila was fed pasteurized donor milk after being born three months early.

Once a batch is cleared, it’s placed in a different freezer, ready for shipping.

Every step along the way is tracked – just in case, says Jones.

“If a baby was to become ill, we would have to track from the baby right back to the donors and we’d have to know every child that got that batch of milk and every donor whose milk was in the batch,” Jones says. “We’d also have to look at all our processing, so, did the temperature go to the right temperature for the right length of time? How long was it sitting out of the fridge?

We track every detail.”

“Very grateful” Little Kamila weighs just over two-and-quarter pounds.

That doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s nearly twice the weight she was when she first arrived at Royal Columbian’s NICU on Aug. 28.

Her mom had just had an emergency C-section after 12 days of bed rest.

“I managed to hold her in for 12 days,” says Kathy, who did not want to use her full name because she had not even made her pregnancy public before her ordeal began.

Now a mother of two, Kathy says her first daughter’s birth was “the easiest” you could imagine.

Not so with Kamila.

“It was a shock,” Kathy says. “It’s been just a roller coaster of emotions.”

Her oldest daughter had had all the benefits of mother’s milk when she was born, and Kathy wanted Kamila to have the same, but her milk was slow to come in.

When the NICU staff asked her if she’d like Kamila to be fed pasteurized donor milk, she said she had “no hesitation.”

“The donated breast milk was amazing to me,” she says. “I didn’t even think that was an option.This is all new to me, the NICU and this whole experience, so I was very grateful for that.”

Kathy started producing milk about a day and a half after Kamila was born and now supplies all she needs.

But two months ago, when she still weighed little more than a pound, Kamila’s first few drops had had to find their way from a stranger’s breast, to a public health depot, to the milk bank and finally here to Royal Columbian Hospital to feed her tiny body.

“It’s incredible that we even have this amazing option to nourish our babies from another mother,” Kathy says.

Celebrate Seniors Day in New Westminster Saturday, October 17th

Seniors’ advocate ‘gets the issues’ B ri%sh Columbia’s Seniors Advocate is returning to the Royal City for the 2015 Seniors Fes%val.

Isobel Mackenzie, the province’s grst seniors’ advocate, monitors seniors’ services, promotes awareness of seniors’ issues and works to iden%fy solu%ons and make recommenda%ons to government.

She’ll be speaking at New Westminster’s Seniors Fes%val, which is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Century House.

“She is a great speaker,” said Shelly Schnee, a recrea%on programmer at Century House. “She really gets the issues that a lot of seniors face.”

Mackenzie will speak from 2 to 3 p.m., but her presenta%on is just one of the events during the jam-packed Seniors Fes%val that’s running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

More than 40 organiza%ons will be taking part in an informa%on resource fair where seniors and older adults can get details about a wide range of services they may want to access.

“It’s informa%on about the diHerent programs and services that are available in New Westminster,” Schnee said.

“It’s all informa%on that is useful for older adults.”

At the Century House table, visitors will have a chance to share their dreams about the type of programs and services they’d like to see at the seniors’ centre.

Throughout the day, visitors will be able to take part in free drop-in ac%vi%es and workshops (grst come grst served), in-

cluding: Nordic pole walking (11 a.m. to 3 pm.); watercolour pain%ng (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.); exercise room tour (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.); pickleball (11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.); Zumba (1 to 2 p.m.); and a demonstra%on on “souping for health” cooking (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.).

Seniors are invited to bring their gadgets – iPads, smart phones, tablets, laptops or cameras - and get some hands-on technology help from 1:30 to 3 p.m. At the VanCity Healing Garden, visitors will be able to meet with an acupuncturist, reiki prac%%oner or herbalist and get their hu shot.

“TransLink will be here as well,” Schnee added. “I think lots of people have ques%ons about the Compass Card.”

Mackenzie isn’t the only presenter at the Seniors Fes%val. The B.C. Law Society will share some basic informa%on about how to manage or plan will and estates (12:15 to 1:15 p.m.), Service Canada will provide informa%on about the Canada Pension Plan (11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.) and Service Canada will oHer informa%on about Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement (12:30 to 1:15 p.m.)

Century House is located at 620 Eighth St. in Moody Park. The Queen’s Park Healthcare Founda%on will be oHering complimentary coHee, tea and cookies, but guests will also be able to buy lunch at Century House’s Connec%ons Café.

Advocacy: B.C.’s seniors advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, is set to return to New Westminster at this

Pickleball is fun and a real workout

Pickleball con%nues to serve up fun and recrea%on for residents throughout the Royal City.

Pickleball’s origins trace back to 1965, when it was invented on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. The game is a cross between ping-pong and tennis, with par%cipants hiVng small, light-weight balls over a low net with a wooden paddle.

Residents will have a chance to check it out for themselves at the Seniors Fes%val on Saturday at Century House. Century House, Centennial Community Centre and Queensborough Community Centre/Queensborough Middle School all have pickleball drop-in programs. In the summer, the game some%mes moves from the indoors to outdoor courts.

“It s%ll feels like it is hot and on the upward trend,” said Sarad Renyard, a recrea%on leader at Queensborough Community Centre.

Most of the folks who get involved

in pickleball are 50 years and up, but younger folks aXend some drop-ins as well.

“We have fun and get ac%ve,” Renyard said. “We are mostly appealing to people who want to get out and have fun.”

Pickleball drop-ins are currently offered at Century House on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and at Centennial Community Centre on Thursdays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Renyard notes that instructors are available at Centennial Community Centre on Thursdays to provide direc%on on how to play the game and help players with their strategies.

The Queensborough Community Centre oHers drop-ins on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to noon. On Tuesday nights, folks take to the courts at the Queensborough Middle School from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Fun and exercise: Pickleball is growing in popularity in many places, including right here in New West. In addition to indoor courts, some folks play it outdoors – even in the rain – as these Queensborough folks did this past summer. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Community Religious buildings dominate historic landscape

By Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

When looking at the landscape of New Westminster over a number of decades, it is clear many of the most noticeable structures are buildings connected to religions.What usually stands out is their size, towers and steeples.

Photos of the early years of the city, when Methodists, Anglicans, Catholics and Presbyterians each had a place of worship, show that the churches were simple, functional structures.

When we move up from the 1860s and ’70s into the 1880s and ’90s, all had greatly expanded structures that certainly stood out.

A walk up lower Sixth Street in the 1890s featured

a large dominant Methodist church at Carnarvon Street.The Anglicans’ Holy Trinity was a stone church with a tower at the top of Church Street.The Presbyterians’ red brick, highsteepled church was next to their first wooden structure on Carnarvon.The Catholics had a dramatic, buttressed structure with a tall steeple. And the Baptists had erected and greatly enlarged a brick edifice on Agnes Street, up the hill.

Views of the city at that time show these dominant architectural features in the central city above the downtown area.The Great Fire of 1898 eliminated the structures of three of the five mentioned – Methodist, Anglican and Baptist.

The Methodists rebuilt up

the hill at Queens Avenue at Sixth Street and the Baptists rebuilt at Queens Avenue at Seventh Street.

The buildings we’ve chosen are just examples of

You can pick out many structural interconnections

such buildings in our overall landscape. Over the city’s history there are other such structures in all neighbourhoods.There are many wonderful scenes among the photographs of New Westminster. By focusing on a particular category, such as religious buildings, you can pick out many structural in-

terconnections.

If we go back to that set of buildings at the beginning of this column and view them in a chronological series of “views of the city,” they clearly stand out and highlight their specific sites, blocks, street corners and open spaces on the city’s hillside landscape.

Two other religious structures in this same area, just above downtown, both with Catholic affiliation and both tracing back to 1865, were dominant over the years as well.

Close to the Presbyterian and Catholic churches and others not that far away, was St. Louis College, a Catholic boys’ school on Blackwood Street.

The other started small and simple but grew to be

large and elegant. St. Ann’s Academy, a Catholic girls’ school at the top of Prospect Park, Albert Crescent, overlooked the park from a commanding position. Both of these structures were eventually torn down.

The “150 year” stories of

St. Ann’s Academy and St. Louis College will be the theme of a presentation at the New Westminster Historical Society,Wednesday, Oct. 21, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library.

Marlyne Marrese let us know about the amazing success of the concert,

which included the Mojo Stars (Randy “Mojoman” Clarke on vocals, Mark Rankin on lead guitar, Rob Marr on bass and Shaun Soucy on drums, with J.T. Platt on Saxophone), Jayleen Stonehouse, Blu Mankuma and Juno Award winner Murray Porter.

“The All 4You concert was a huge success,” Marrese wrote in a press release.

Entertainment Lively City: Art from wee ones Continued from page 34 seamlessly the evening went, and how well it was organized.”

Other talents involved in the evening were the night’s core band: Shaun Soucy on drums, J.T. Platt on saxophone, Olaf de Shield on lead guitar and Trevor Andres on bass, plus young dancers from the Club F.U.C.I.TV show who joined Mankuma for three of his songs.

Desiree Dyck provided the backdrop, with a slideshow of photos by Bal Dosanj, put together by Doug Lucas.

The Columbia Performing Arts Society, by the way, is spearheaded by a board of directors that includes Marrese, along with president Doug Lucas, secretary Michael Hwang, treasurer Jayleen Stonehouse, director of photography Bal Dosanj and directors at large Randy Clarke, Desiree Dyck and Robbe Hardnette. Hardnette also MC’d the show.

New Westminster residents have a chance to check out work by the city’s littlest artists in the Art Splash Sculpture Show, running Oct. 10 to 24 at the atrium gallery at New Westminster Museum.

The youngsters, aged two to four (yes, you read that right) were part of the Anvil Centre’s fall Art Splash class.The fruits of their labours will be presented in

this exhibition of their sculptural works.

“These budding artists will leave you inspired and intrigued,” a press release promises.

LITERACY IN NEW WEST Literacy New Westminster is looking to fill “literacy gaps” through a variety of endeavours in New West.

The group has funded and supported various initiatives including book shares, summer reading flash mobs, ESL for grandparents, literacy programs,

It’s about … the skills you need to get by

Mother Goose programs for little ones, reading circles, book distributions at the Santa Claus Parade and book shares. It recently hosted a book fair as part of Literacy Month, which aimed to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and community-based resources and to raise money to support community-

based literacy programs, initiatives and organizations.

Decoda Literacy Solutions, B.C.’s provincial literacy organization, points out that literacy is not just the ability to read or write, but also the ability for people to use computers, read and fill out online materials such as service agreements and job applications, the ability to read prescription labels and use social media.

The non-profit organization states that 49 per cent of B.C. adults don’t have the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget, calculate sales tax or understand credit card interest rates.

“It’s about learning the skills you need to get by on a day-to-day basis,” said Judy Venable, literacy outreach coordinator for Literacy New Westminster. “A lot of it has to do with reading and writing and language skills.”

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

What do I do if my dog continues to have anal gland eruptions and infections every 6-8 months?

Anal sacs (also called anal glands) are two small glands just inside a pet’s anus. The material secreted by these scent glands is often thick and foul-smelling.

Some domestic pets have lost their ability to empty these sacs voluntarily. They can then DR. MANJU ARORA become impacted and uncomfortable.

At the first signs of ‘scooting’ his or her hind end, or if a pet is licking around the anus, see your veterinarian to have the sacs checked and emptied before they get infected and rupture (abscess).

If anal glands are not emptied in time and an abscess has formed and ruptured through the skin, then antibiotics, pain medication and is some cases, surgery may be needed.

Pets who have recurring anal gland problems may respond to adding more fibre to the diet. This can be done using prescription foods from your veterinarian or by adding ingredients such as unsweetened pumpkin to the diet.

Alternatively, some pets with anal gland problems may respond to a hypoallergenic diet (we use hypoallergenic grain-free diets such as rabbit and kangaroo for our patients made by Rayne Canada).

If the anal sacs still need to be emptied every few weeks or more, they can be permanently surgically removed. This should be done by a board-certified veterinary surgeon to increase the chance of a successful outcome.

ASK A REALTOR

Q

“Three realtors gave us an opinion on our home’s value.

Two were quite close together, the third, was significantly higher. Should I go with the realtor that suggested the highest price?”

A

Great question. First, don’t choose your realtor based Park Georgia Realty on the one that gives you the highest price. Choose the realtor that can best represent you. One that has a proven marketing strategy for your home. Once that’s done, trust your Realtor’s advice in pricing your home. The phrase “I can always go down, but can never go up” has resulted in many a stale listing and a lower final selling price. Price your home as tight to its true value as possible. A Buyer may choose not to risk insulting a seller by presenting a lower than asking offer, especially if a home shows pride of ownership, even if it’s a fair offer.

How Do I know What Interview Attire Is Appropriate?

Good question! While it depends on the type of job you are interviewing for, people continue to make horrific, grave errors in judgement. Common sense is not so common. Here are a few atroNEELY HAZELL cious attire choices that we continually see at our job fairs: dirty, well-worn clothes; ripped jeans; t-shirts; sneakers; booty-shorts; flip-flops; pants that hang half way down the buttocks revealing some…backside; low-cut, revealing blouses; and clothes that are either swimmingly large or entirely too tight where one can hear bulging pockets of skin rejoicing in their liberation. There are, however, some unanimously accepted attire choices which include dress pants, dress shoes, collared shirts, knee-length skirts, closed-toed shoes, and blazers. We regret to inform you that if you intended to wear a Halloween costume for your interview this October, a costume would unfortunately fall under the unsuitable category.

October is a busy month in the world of eye care! Not only is it ‘Children’s Vision Month’, but also, one day in October has been designated as ‘World Sight Day’.

FYidoctors - New Westminster is proud to support both of these initiatives.

World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness of the over 600 million people around the world who are needlessly sight impaired. Optometrists globally, coordinated

by Optometry Giving Sight, raise funds during the month of October to help people gain access to vision care.

FYidoctors – New Westminster has big plans this year, including a visit from Frozen’s Queen Elsa on October 16th between 3-5PM and a Red Wagon Bake Sale on October 20th. Come join us for some fun while also contributing to a worthy cause!

The majority of a child’s learning in their first 12 years is dependent on their vision. It is sad to know, however, that 1 in 4 children start school with an undiagnosed vision problem. Many issues of the vision and eye health occur without symptoms, and can only be detected with an eye examination. October is dedicated to children’s vision in order to educate the public on the importance of early and regular eye examinations. Doctors of Optometry recommend that all children have their first eye exam between six and nine months of age!

FYidoctors is owned and operated by Doctors of Optometry who are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care. We use the latest technology to evaluate and treat vision problems and eye disease, manufacture the most current high definition eyeglass lenses, and provide a wide selection of frames and contact lenses. FYidoctors – New Westminster is located on the 2nd floor, Royal City Centre. For more information or to book an appointment, call 604-522-6929, or visit www. fyidoctors.com/new-westminster.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Q A

I wear my monthly contact lenses for longer than one month. Is there really any harm?

In short, yes. Your contact lenses are regulated medical devices, and as such, have strict requirements for manufacturing and instructions for use. Monthly contact DR. YIN LI lenses are designed for use for 30 days from opening the contact lens package (not to be confused with 30 wears over several months). Contact lenses are made of plastic with “pores” to help keep them moist - not only does the plastic start to break down after the recommended wear period, these pores also trap dirt, oils, and bacteria over time. This can lead to eye health changes, dryness and irritation, eye infections, or at worst, temporary or permanent loss of vision. Remember to also check expiry dates for both your contact lenses and solutions; once past the expiry date, the composition of the package and solution changes and becomes less effective at preventing infections. Book an appointment with your Doctor of Optometry today to discuss the newest developments in contact lenses to keep your eyes comfortable and healthy.

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT

Q A

Does sleep apnea put stress on my heart?

Yes. Untreated sleep apnea could increase strain on the heart. The low oxygen caused by the narrowing or obstructive airway, signals your heart to work harder to ensure the rest of your organs get enough blood flow and oxygen delivered to them. At times you may even feel heart palpitations in the morning because your heart was working so hard.

People may even experience night sweats as if they have just ran a marathon. Approximately 76% of patients with heart failure suffer from sleep apnea. The stress caused by the repeated work day and night for years can result in high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke. Treat your sleep apnea and have a healthier heart.

2. Traditional Style formality & elegance. Classic traditional can be overly formal but NEW traditional is classic and comfortable allowing for some fun and youthfulness.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

Why might I be breaking out?

Check your cosmetics for this major pore-clogging ingredient.

Isopropyl Myristate is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. Why do cosmetics companies use KATIE MARSHALL Isopropyl Myristate? It’s a super emollient ingredient with a light, non-greasy feel. It adds an amazing ‘slip’ to products and is readily absorbed by the skin.

Where can you typically find Isopropyl Myristate being used? In Creams, lotions, hand creams, shampoo, shower gels, makeup removers, powders and foundations. You can even find it in the prescription CREAM version of Retin-A. If you’re acne-prone, be sure to ask for the GEL version of Retin-A. If you’re acne-prone and use cosmetics/skin care products that contain Isopropyl Myristate, please discontinue using. Seek out a trained Esthetician who specializes in acne and can advise you on the right skin care products to use.

Jake Virtanen played in his first National Hockey League game on Tuesday, joining the Vancouver Canucks against the LA Kings in Los Angeles.

Virtanen, who was born in the Royal City but now calls Abbotsford home, was drafted sixth overall by the Canucks in the 2014 NHL entry draft. After playing 50 games with the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen and 10 with Vancouver’s AHL farm team the Utica Comets last season, Virtanen played his firstever NHL game on Oct. 13.

The 208-pound right winger played 12 shifts against the Kings for a total of nine minutes and 18 seconds of ice time, and he even managed to get one shot on net in his inaugural game.

A STRONG START FOR

OTTAWA SENATOR Across the country, another New Westminster native is having a hot start to his third NHL season with the Ottawa Senators.

Kyle Turris scored two goals in last week’s first regular season game against the Buffalo Sabres.

The 26-year-old started things off early, getting his first goal in within the first minute of play giving Ottawa a 1-0 lead over the Sabres. At about the 10-minute mark of the second period,Turris got another goal past the opposing net minder to make it 2-0 Senators.

Ottawa would go on to win the game 3-1.

Two days later, against Toronto,Turris helped the Senators to a 5-4 win with a power play goal in the second period. He also assisted on the team’s third power play goal of the game, scored by Milan Michalek.

JV’s streak continues Cayley Dobie

The junior varsity Hyacks got a little ahead of themselves, nearly giving up some easy points to visiting Belmont on Friday afternoon.

The juniors opened the second half of the game at Mercer Stadium with an impressive 21-6 lead. But they just about lost it when, in the third quarter, one of the Belmont Bulldogs broke through the hometown boys’ defence and was stopped just shy of the Hyacks’ goal line. Still, the run garnered a first down for the visitors only a yard or two away from a touchdown, but the junior Hyacks were able to hold them to that

distance, stopping the Bulldogs’ offence in their tracks and turning the ball over on downs.

The Hyacks followed the turnover with a 96-yard touchdown run by Hyacks’ running back RobertsonYagyog.

Lineman Garret Gogal, meanwhile, helped secure the Hyacks’ win by recovering a fumble in the Bulldogs’ end zone to make it 35-6 for the home team.

Gogal is now the second junior lineman to score a touchdown this season.

This Friday, Oct. 16, the junior boys are on the road for their second game of the regular season against conference rivals Vancouver College in Vancouver.

VARSITY BOYS WIN BIG New Westminster Secondary’s varsity Hyacks also pulled off a big win last week, beating the Belmont AAA varsity team 42-7 at home.

Coming off a bye week, the Hyacks had a sloppy start to their first western conference regular season game, according to head coach Farhan Lalji.

The Hyacks retaliated after Belmont’s major, scoring three touchdowns of their own in the opening quarter.Three more touchdowns followed to secure the Hyacks’ 42-7 win.
