City ﬁreﬁghters join fentanyl battle NewWestminster firefighters will be armed with naloxone in an effort to save drug overdose victims

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster firefighters regularly respond to drug overdoses, but they’ll soon be better equipped to help save lives. Fire Chief Tim Armstrong provided a report to

council in June about giving local firefighters the ability to administer naloxone to patients suffering from opiate overdoses. “We spent a few months reviewing the issue and had a look at what many municipalities around the region are doing to help ad-

dress the fentanyl crisis that is occurring in Metro Vancouver,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “When we started to see the data on the number of overdoses happening in New Westminster, which is a similar pattern in many other municipalities, we decided to take the next

step to allow our firefighters, who are often first on the scene in many of these circumstances, the ability to be able to administer naloxone.” Armstrong noted that New West firefighters are already responding to medical calls involving drug over-

Driver ﬂees after woman hit By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Investigators are urging the driver in a hit and run to come forward after a collision between a pedestrian and a car in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood this week. Police cruisers had 12th Street between Fourth and Sixth avenues closed off to traffic Tuesday evening after a 33-year-old Burnaby woman was hit by a car. Why and where she was hit remains unclear at this time, said acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department. The pedestrian was hit on Fifth Avenue near 12th Street, and police are encouraging witnesses to come forward with any in-

formation or video footage of the crash.The suspect’s vehicle is described as a newer black sedan. The pedestrian, meanwhile, was taken to hospital with minor injuries and has since been released. Scott said it doesn’t appear the

suspect driver was speeding at the time of the collision. “We’d like to know motive, like why aren’t you (the driver) staying on scene if it’s not as serious as some of the other types of collisions that we go to that are hit and runs,” Scott said.

“That’s kind of our plea to the driver: come forward and speak with investigators, so we can get to the root cause of why and how this all happened.” So far investigators haven’t learned much from the victim. “At the time, she wasn’t necessarily forthright with a bunch of information, and I don’t know if that’s because she was dealing with medical staff and wasn’t really wanting to have a lot of police presence through that, so we’ll be following up with her to try and get some more information about how this all came to be,” Scott said. Any witnesses or persons with surveillance footage of the crash are asked to contact investigators at 604525-5411.

Did you witness last week’s takedown? B.C.’s police watchdog is looking for anyone who may have witnessed a police takedown in Sapperton last week. The incident began around 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 when Vancouver police descended on Richmond Street near East Eighth in search of a kidnapped person who’d been taken during a double homicide in East Vancouver a few days earlier. During the altercation between officers and suspects, two motorists were hit. One of the drivers caught in the melee attempted to take cover from police flash bags but was grabbed by a police dog as he fled.The dog bit him, causing serious injuries, according to a press release. Shortly after the incident, the IIO announced it would investigate the dog

bite incident to determine whether “the actions or inactions” of police were contributing factors, noted the release. Investigators with the office are now asking any witnesses to come forward. Witnesses are asked to contact the IIO at 1-855-4468477. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Police Department is continuing its investigation of the homicide and kidnapping that led to the takedown in New Westminster. So far, three people have been arrested and have been charged in connection with the homicides and kidnapping, according to Sgt. Brian Montague. Other suspects remain at large as the police investigation continues. – By Cayley Dobie

Flying with Royals ‘nerve-racking’ By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Dan Cummins has flown with celebrities, but flying the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is without a doubt his most memorable flight to date. The New Westminster native, a pilot with Harbour Air, was one of two pilots who flew Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, from Victoria to Vancouver on a seaplane on Sunday morning. “It was awesome,” he told the Record. A few weeks ago, Harbour Air learned of the plan to fly the royal couple from Victoria to Vancouver, and a few pilots went through the

required security checks. On Saturday night, Cummins learned he would be one of two pilots flying the royal couple. “Just after 10:15, we boarded them.There were 16 altogether. We boarded 14 initially and they came down, just the two of them,” he said. “I was on the plane already so they introduced themselves and I shook their hands – not that they had to introduce themselves to me.” Cummins has flown celebrities like Burt Reynolds, Jennifer Connelly and actors from the X-Men films, but flying the royal couple was completely different. “Even with the famous actors I have had, they don’t get noticed really.This was really nerve-rack-

ing,” he said. “With all the security, everybody is watching. Loading the plane, you hope nobody trips, a wave comes or anything like that.The cameras are everywhere in Victoria, there are people everywhere.They are all screaming and yelling.” Shortly before the floatplane took off from Victoria, a Harbour Air executive told the royal couple to enjoy their flight and told them “there’s a lot of people” waiting for them in Vancouver. “William goes, ‘No pressure.’ He looks at me, and I’m like, ‘I know how you feel,’” Cummins smiled. “I heard him chitchatting, saying he was a little tired – George was up a three in the morning. Regular dad stuff.”

On board the flight plane, Cummins followed procedure and gave a security briefing to all of the passengers. “They were pretty busy,” he said. “We gave him a headset in case he wanted to talk to us. He didn’t put it on. He was looking at his binder and the itinerary and all that. It was pretty cool.” Cummins is accustomed to flying in high-pressure situations, but flying royalty is a different kind of stress. “Landing in Vancouver, seeing about 80,000 people watching you, you want a good landing,” he A royal experience: Pilot Dan Cummins, laughed. “If you want a good land- behind Prince William and Kate, was ing in your entire life it’s that one.” honoured to fly the royal couple from

Opinion OUR VIEW

If we weren’t so nice, we’d be gloating It’s been a week of spectacle on both sides of the 49th parallel – and that spectacle has gone a long way to driving home the differences in the two countries that share our long and undefended border. Up here on this side, the spectacle has revolved around a visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (and, of course, their progeny, Prince George and Princess Charlotte). Throw in our own first cou-

ple (he of the hair and the killer smile, and his effortlessly chic and effervescent wife) and you’ve got a week of photo ops that just oozed charm and glamour all over the place. What was most noticeable, however, wasn’t so much the glamour – although any room occupied by Kate Middleton and the Trudeaus certainly doesn’t come up short on that front – but the gosh-darn niceness of the whole thing. Roy-

als they may be (or, in the Trudeaus’ case, the closest thing we can breed here on Canadian soil), but they’re astonishingly good at making everyone they meet feel that they’re just regular folks. They shake hands, they admire babies, they exchange brief snippets of conversation that leave the folks they meet feeling all warm and fuzzy about the encounter. Their ability to identify as

“one of us,” with their basic humanity shining through their designer clothes and their innate elegance and poise, is testament to the charm of all four. Contrast that with the whole mess south of the border.You know, the race for president and the highly anticipated and muchwatched Trump vs. Clinton debate. Up here on this side of the 49th, we take in Trump, with all his unpleasantness,

rudeness, vulgarity and bluster – not to mention his complete lack of command of the facts – shake our heads and thank our lucky stars that we’ve got the leader we do. And we can’t help thinking (in a somewhat selfrighteous way) that this is what you get in a land like America – a land that thrives on capitalism and competition and me-first thinking. Instead of a land like

Canada, where politeness and courtesy and cooperation are legendary and where “socialism” is not a dirty word. Nice guys finish last, you say? Maybe so. But we’ve got the Trudeaus and the royals, and down south they’ve got Donald Trump. Kinda feels like we’re winning right now. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

NewWestRecord.ca

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Will Trudeau’s popularity last?

I was a bit taken aback when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau drew the loudest roar from the crowd of any guest when he was introduced at the B.C. legislature on the weekend along with the visiting royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Premier Christy Clark’s reception was more muted and a smattering of boos could be heard amid the polite applause. A reason for the different kinds of response may lie in the fact that Clark has been running a government for more than five years now and therefore has made decisions that have rubbed many people the wrong way. Trudeau, on the other hand, is approaching just the first anniversary of his election victory and has yet to make the kind of decision that is sure to anger a big chunk of the electorate. But the prime minister is about to open his own Pandora’s Box and, in doing so, will inevitably find himself the target of all kinds of angry responses. First and foremost are the decisions his government must make that involve oil and natural gas.Will he or won’t he approve at least one oil pipeline coming out of Alberta to tidewater, and the same question must be posed when it comes the LNG industry in B.C. I think his government will green light both an oil pipeline (most likely Kinder Morgan) and the Pacific Northwest LNG project. But in both cases, such a de-

cision will surely enrage and upset a large segment of the electorate. But Trudeau must be willing to risk losing some of his hefty political capital in order to make tough calls. That’s what governing is all about. Flowing directly from those energy issues are the high expectations he has created for First Nations in this country. A large number of First Nations oppose pipelines (although many support them), and Trudeau has also backtracked on his promise to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, pushing it off to a fuzzy consultation process. On top of that, his government quietly approved key permits allowing the Site C dam construction to go ahead, even while two First Nations bands are in court trying to stop it. There are two other potential headaches that Trudeau has needlessly created for himself: reforming the Senate, and arbitrarily changing the federal electoral system.Trudeau doesn’t have to proceed with either reform – the public is hardly crying out for any changes to Senate or how we elect our MPs – and he may well abandon both. If he doesn’t, they will likely – in combination with those energy-related decisions – ensure that if another royal visit occurs a couple of years from now, the loud ovation he received on the weekend will be a very distant memory. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

‘Hunger tax’ not the solution to inequality

Future of Canadian health care on the line

Dear Editor Re: It’s time for a ‘food bank tax’ in Canada, Our View, the Record, Sept. 22. I have supported the food bank for most of my working life. I am now in a position that I can and do generously support it. The tone of your opinion piece reads it’s “us against them.” If your idea of a hunger tax comes to fruition, it’s unlikely I would continue to voluntarily support the food bank. If you feel you are not paying enough tax, you can pay more. Personally, I feel I pay more than enough considering the squandering at all levels of government. The idea of handing over more money because you don’t agree with their allocation of funding is not reasonable. Ed Lien, Victoria

NewCity Dude 2 People need to ask themselves: Would I be willing to pay $750 every 3 months for private care along with a $5000 annual deductible? Are you willing to have caps placed on your plan? The American model is exactly like that and worse. We all eventually breakdown as we get older but with Americans it becomes a humiliating experience as one after another drown in healthcare debt. They have to sell their homes to pay off the debt and ultimately declare bankruptcy before being eligible for public healthcare. That is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America and it’s also the reason why Americans don’t live as long as any developed nation.Do not fall for their promises of shorter wait times - that’s all window dressing for the horror that’s happening across America. FORPROFIT HEALTHCARE - cheaper and faster? How bogus is that!? IMHO4 Dr. Day should take himself to the states. I think their “healthcare” plan will suit him better than in Canada. opinionated_gta The healthcare system is unsustainable in its present form. If policy makers don’t have the courage to undertake required changes, then the courts will do it for them. The system tries to be everything for everybody which of course doesn’t work. The purpose of a public system in a civilized society is to make sure that no one has to die or be bankrupted if they become seriously ill. If you need to see the doctor for a cold or a splinter, you should expect to pay at least a portion of the cost. fairness please funny the article by the SUN says they have quotas for the number of procedures surgeons can perform in BC implying they will just work more hours not transfer them from the public system. which article is right. is it more than surgeons, more provinces ? right now ont doctors complaining about earnings but many if not most have put their energies into running the clinics and testing labs to make huge incomes.

Police watchdog investigating incident in NewWestminster icedog504 There are media reports that the Vancouver police have described the dog attack as an accident. The victim’s account implied he was targeted by police. The suspects appeared to be South Asian. The victim is South Asian. I’m skeptical the attack was an accident. It could be argued however it was reasonable for the police to put the dog on the victim in the circumstances. Too bad it ripped the guy’s ear off though.

Fireﬁghters will have naloxone Continued from page 1 time of need, as long as somebody is initiating something to save that family member’s life?” In response to the fentanyl crisis, the province’s Ministry of Health gave fire departments the authority to participate in the “naloxone initiative,” provided they sign a collaboration agreement with the province. Surrey and Vancouver firefighters became the first in the province to carry and administer naloxone, a medication that blocks the effects of opioids and reverses the effects of an overdose from opiates like heroin, methadone, morphine or fentanyl. “About half the municipalities in Metro Vancouver have now gone in this direction,” Cote said. “I would suspect we are all heading in that direction before the end of the year, given what’s happened with the fentanyl and the overdose crisis we are facing.” Cote said downloading

has been raised as a concern in some communities, where officials believe the provincial government should be better funding paramedics. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the City of New Westminster has signed an agreement with the province. He said firefighters will begin getting trained on the use of naloxone on Oct. 12 and the program should be in place by Nov. 1. Armstrong said naloxone isn’t a magic wonder drug that brings people back from the dead. “We are averaging 350 calls a year,” he said of overdoses. “Of that, I know we have had a number of deaths from overdoses.We haven’t been able to revive the patient. Sometimes that wouldn’t even help with Narcan – they have either been left too long, they have gone into cardiac arrest and we haven’t been successful in reviving them.”

City news UPDATE

Syrian refugee to be reunited with family Refugee also translated for the royal family Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@newwestrecord.ca

A young Syrian refugee, whose story was first covered in the Record last fall, is basking in the glow of good news. Mohammed Alsaleh has recently learned the application to sponsor his family has been approved, and his mother and siblings will be joining him in Canada. “That’s wonderful,” Alsaleh said. “I’m still high on that moment.” The family will likely arrive in 2017, although Alsaleh is hoping

they will arrive by Christmas. “If we have them here by Christmas, it will be the most wonderful thing that happened in my whole life, and I would look at this as the achievement of my lifetime.” Record reader Deana Brynildsen started the online campaign that raised more than $30,000 to sponsor the family, and local residents donated.The Anglican Diocese of New Westminster filed the private sponsorship application, and St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Burnaby will help with settlement services: taking the family

grocery shopping or helping register the kids for school, for example. Alsaleh’s widowed mother, two sisters and three brothers will all be together for the first time in years, after they were separated by the Syrian war. But that’s not all. Alsaleh was also called on to translate for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their visit to the Immigrant Services Society of B.C.’s new Welcome Centre on Sunday. “The royal couple shared with us, with the family and me, that they really feel sad for the loss of souls and for the loss of people and the destruction and devasta-

tion that happened in our country,” Alsaleh said. “And at the same time, I felt the duke and duchess were so curious about what was happening.They wanted to listen, and they wanted to learn first-hand about what’s happening there. But at the same time, they were cautious; they made sure not to bring any bad memories for the families that they meet.They were so careful, and they handled it so well.” “I was so appreciative for His Highness to take the time to listen to me and my thoughts,” he said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire were also part of the visit.

Happy ending: Syrian refugee Mohammed Alsaleh will be reunited with his family in 2017 with help from the community. PHOTO RECORD FILES

School board candidate District ends school year with a $2-million surplus never ﬁled disclosure

James Pepa charged with failing to file his statement By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A warrant is out for a former school board candidate who failed to submit his financial disclosure statements following the 2014 municipal election. New West resident James Pepa ran for school trustee in the 2014 civic election and, as a candidate, was required to file a financial disclosure statement outlining his campaign expenses and any donations he may have received. But Pepa never filed a statement. Candidates have 90 days to file disclosure statements following the voting day. If they miss the 90-day cutoff, candidates can submit statements within 30 days (120 days after the general election day) but must include a $500 late filing fee, according

to the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act. Pepa missed both deadlines, and on March 17, 2015, he was charged with failing to file a disclosure statement and failing to file a disclosure statement within 90 days, according to court documents. A court date was set for March 23, 2015, but Pepa failed to appear and on April 20, 2015, a bench warrant was issued, which means police aren’t actively searching for him, but he could be taken into custody if he comes into contact with officers. If found guilty of the charges, Pepa could face up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000, or both, according to the financing act.The Record contacted the Criminal Justice Branch of B.C. for information on the case, but calls have not been returned.

Pepa, who ran in the 2011 race, has also been barred from running for civic office in the 2018 municipal election, according to Elections B.C., and he’s not the only New West candidate. Glen Armstrong, who came ninth out of 13 candidates in the 2014 school trustee election, missed the 90-day filing deadline and submitted his statement on March 11, 2015, five days before the 120-day deadline. However, Armstrong did not include the $500 late filing fee when he submitted his statement, according to Elections B.C. He eventually paid the fee on March 20, but by then it was too late. His fee was refunded and he has been disqualified from running in 2018. The Record contacted Pepa for comment but has not heard back.

Things continue to look good for the once-financially challenged New Westminster school district. District staff presented trustees with the 20152016 audited financial statements at the school board meeting this week. Overall, the district closed out the last school year with a $2-million surplus – $1.5 million more than staff had budgeted in the 2016 amended budget – thanks to additional revenue in nearly all catego-

ries, including provincial grants, tuition, rentals and leases, investment income and amortization of deferred capital revenue. Expenses increased slightly but not enough to make a dent in the district’s revenue. For a district that used to be known for its financial woes, the boost in its surplus was welcome news. “We’re a long way away from where we were,” New Westminster superintendent Pat Duncan told

staff and trustees. “We’re in good financial shape, and students are the beneficiaries.” Trustee Kelly SladeKerr echoed Duncan’s sentiments, adding the recent statement is great news for the district. She was especially pleased with the healthy contingency the district has in its coffers. “I cannot express how pleased I am as a trustee,” she told staff. – By Cayley Dobie

Dedication bricks on the way Installation of dedication bricks in Hyack Square will get underway in October. As part of the Wait for Me Daddy monument, the city sold dedication bricks. A staff report states the city has sold about 110 bricks to people who want to honour a family mem-

ber, birth of a child, a person serving in the emergency services field or military, or an anniversary, birthday or other celebration. Council recently approved revised plans for the installation of the bricks, as this plan would minimize the site prep-

aration and installation costs.The city will use red bricks already owned by the city and city staff will install the bricks rather than hire a contractor. All totalled, the bricks are expected to generate a net revenue of $14,900.

On the pain team: Brenda Poulton brings relief Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

When Royal Columbian Hospital nurse practitioner Brenda Poulton’s father was diagnosed with cancer at age 74 in 1998, one thing that came with the disease was a lot of pain. It left his daughter, who was working on a bachelor of science in nursing at the time, feeling helpless, and she was frustrated by the health-care system’s response. “Any time you either are a patient yourself or have a family member a patient, it certainly gives you a new window into health care and the system and the caring people that you come in contact with – but also sometimes the gaps that exist within that system,” Poulton told the Record. Since then, she has set out to fill some of those gaps, and, over the course of her career, she has helped shape Fraser Health’s approach to managing pain in people who’ve been through surgery or physical trauma. This month, Poulton, who was born at Royal Columbian and lived in New Westminster’s West End until she was 24, was recognized for 34 years of work at Royal Columbian with a lifetime achievement award at the Fraser Health Authority’s 2016 Above and Beyond Awards. Every morning, as part of RCH’s “pain team,” Poulton and one of the hospital’s anesthesiologists visit the bedsides of patients who’ve had surgery or trauma and check to make sure their pain is being managed in the best way possible. “When we introduce ourselves, we usually say, ‘Good

morning.We’re the pain team here to see you,’ and people say, ‘Oh, no thanks. I’ve got enough,’” Poulton says with a laugh. The team’s real job, of course, is relieving pain, and it’s a complicated process, Poulton says, sometimes involving two or three pain medications – and other low-tech techniques, like deep breathing – that work in different ways to help patients who’ve been injured or had surgery. At the health region’s primary trauma centre, however, treating pain and dealing with patients’ families isn’t just about medical knowhow. “They need to be able to voice the frustrations and the feelings that they have,” Poulton said. “You know that, for our trauma population, they’re going through some major, significant and sometimes life-changing injuries, so, lots of time it’s listening and then again helping link to the proper resources.” Poulton began developing her expertise in pain as an RCH recovery room nurse, making sure patients just coming out of surgery were getting the best pain management she could provide. After getting her master’s in nursing at the University of Toronto and becoming one of Fraser Health’s pioneering nurse practitioners, she took on the job of educator for Royal Columbian’s pain service about 10 years ago – a job that’s evolved into her more clinical role today. She also helped to revive a one-day-a-week interventional and diagnostic pain clinic at RCH, where patients referred by their family physicians can go to get

help with chronic pain. Beyond the walls of RCH, Poulton is an adjunct professor in UBC’s nursing faculty and a founder and former director of Pain B.C., a grassroots non-profit formed by clinicians about 10 years ago to push for more and better pain resources for patients with chronic pain. She has also presented at national and international conferences on the subject of pain. Over the course of her career, pain management for trauma and surgery patients has become more and more high tech, with a move toward more use of regional anesthesia – local anesthetics to interrupt nerve signals

from the area of surgery or injury, often a limb. “We’ve got high-definition ultrasound, where you’re able to, anatomically, really see the tissue and

them comfortable, managing surgical patients’ pain well enough for them to get mobile as soon as possible after an operation is important for avoiding certain complications, like pneumonia and blood clots. Pain specialists are also paying more attention to the link between pain from accidents or surgeries, and chronic pain down the down, according to Poulton. For about 25 per cent of patients currently attending chronic pain clinics, for example, chronic pain started out with acute or surgical pain. “We need to treat acute pain the best we can to hopefully not shift as many people over to that persis-

tent or chronic pain side of the equation,” Poulton said. When asked what she knows about pain today that she didn’t know starting out, she said it’s the complexity of the thing. “We know that it’s a biological, psychological, spiritual sort of experience,” she said. As just one part of the complexity, Poulton points to context. Childbirth and cancer surgery both involved pain, for example, but the psychological and emotional impact of each is very different “One thing that we need to continue to pay more attention to is that Continued on page 12

Centre is all about city’s little ones

Continued from page 11 psychological aspect of pain and what that pain experience means to that patient,” she said. As a mother of three nowadult children, Poulton said the most painful thing she’s ever experience wasn’t childbirth. Breaking her tibia while she was working on her nursing diploma in 1979 hurt more, she said, and delayed her graduation by three months. “The interesting thing, I think, with childbirth pain is that you tend to forget it quite quickly because there’s such a reward at the other end,” she said. With Poulton considering retirement next year, getting nominated for an Above and Beyond Award by RCH clinical nurse specialist Trudy Robertson, was a welltimed acknowledgment of her lifelong work. “It’s very nice to be honoured that way for sure,” Poulton said. “It was a real honour to be nominated by a colleague for this.”

New early learning centre for kids took a lot of hard work by a lot of people in NewWest

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The zero to five crowd has a new place to hang out thanks to the hard work of early childhood learning advocates in the city. New Westminster school trustees and district staff were among the folks gathered at Qayqayt Elementary School Tuesday to celebrate the official opening of the B.C. EarlyYears Centre, which is set to become the city’s newest hub for early childhood learning.The centre is the fruit of more than a decade of work by non-profit groups and community organizations with the Kids New West Child Development Committee. “All the early childhood development organizations, service providers and non-profits really came together, created a vision and have really worked hard to work collaboratively together, and this is one of the fruits of our labours,” said Dawn Embree, executive director of the Lower Mainland Purpose Society. “It took a lot of dedication and a lot of time putting our own personal agendas aside and going, ‘What is best for this community? And what is best for families and children within this community?’” Collaboration was key to getting the new centre up and running, Embree added. The purpose of the Qayqayt EarlyYears Centre is to be a hub for programs aimed at early childhood education so while the Purpose Society will oversee its management,

partner groups like New Westminster Family Place, Family Services of Greater Vancouver, Cameray Child and Family Services and New Westminster parks and recreation will offer programs for children and families out of the space. Programs already up and running at the centre include: Fun Learning andYou (FLY); Preschool Exploration; Cameray Family Literacy Circle; and the New Westminster Family Place Grandparents Meetup. The school district, meanwhile, provides the physical space to house all these programs at its Qayqayt Neighbourhood Learning Centre. “Being actually in the school creates all kinds of opportunities both for the families and the parents to get familiar with the school, maybe meet the principal, meet the teachers, but also, and what we wanted to build upon is having some links with the older kids in the school,” Embree said. “The sky’s the limit in terms of what we can really do.” The EarlyYears Centre was one of 21 facilities across the province to be approved for funding from the Provincial Office for the EarlyYears last February. Purpose will oversee the management of the funds, which each year will be $52,000, according to a press release from the province.

Funding received: Dawn Embree, executive director of the Lower Mainland Purpose Society, was among the people who helped make the Early Years Centre a reality. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Join in the fun at apple fest Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents are invited to use a little elbow grease and celebrate the fall harvest at the inaugural NewWest Apple Press Fest. Community members can chop, smash and press apples and take home some fresh, non-alcoholic apple cider at the inaugural New West Apple Press Fest on Sunday, Oct. 2. “It’s welcome to all. It’s an opportunity to make juice with your neighbours,” said organizer Mark Gifford. “It’s a fun, familyfriendly event that actually helps neighbours connect, but also it’s a nice hands-on activity for folks to do that might not think too much about fruit-to-juice.” Gifford, who grew up in Creston, has fond childhood memories of harvesting apples and making apple juice each fall with his family and friends. Gifford’s son Isaiah and Gifford’s friendWill Mah and his son Leo have helped organize Sunday’s

event. “I have been wanting to do a neighbourhood project,” said Gifford, a New West school trustee. “My son and I had participated in a similar event in East Van with some friends of mine that have done it for a couple years now. It’s been a real blast for him and myself.We thought,Why not try it in NewWest?” Apples are optional, but bring your own jar. BuyLow Foods has donated about 1,000 pounds of apples and some residents are bringing apples that will be put through some vintage cider presses. “We will be heating it up so there will be hot apple cider for people to sip on that they have just made, and they can take home a jar of it too,” Gifford said. “It should be fun.” The festival, which includes games and music, is on Sunday, Oct. 2 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lord Kelvin Elementary School, 1010 Hamilton St.

Enjoy the Local Harvest! Come and celebrate the best of the local Harvest with delicious dishes inspired by fresh, seasonal ingredients like rosemary garlic exotic mushrooms, brussel sprouts and kale.

FEATURE GUEST SPEAKER

CTV broadcaster and bestselling author Mike McCardell headlines 2016 Seniors Festival Mike McCardell, news icon and co-host of CTV’s “The Last Word,” is renowned for crafting humaninterest stories that help counteract the doom and gloom of conventional news programming. In his new book, None of This Was Planned: The Stories Behind the Stories (Harbour Publishing, $29.95), McCardell introduces us to some of the many people he meets each day on his news beat. There’s Fred, who visits his childhood home on his one hundredth birthday; and Tim, who handcrafts dolls from driftwood and plays the harmonica behind the Vancouver Art Gallery. Fans will delight in this new collection of stories which offers both moments of surprise and the reassurance that joy and kindness can be sparked from the simplest acts. McCardell will be talking about some of the humorous and touching experiences he writes about at New Westminster’s Seniors Festival, Saturday, October 1st at 12:30pm. The talk will be followed by a Q &A and a book signing courtesy of Black Bond Books. Partial sales proceeds from copies of this book will be donated to BC Women’s Hospital Foundation.

Mike McCardell, CTV personality, shares tales from his new book “None of This Was Planned, The Stories Behind the Stories” The City of New Westminster is celebrating National Seniors Day by offering free workshops, presentations, drop in arts with Arts Council New West and an information resource fair with 35 exhibitors. Elvis (Brian Simpson) and Rod Stewart (Clayton Owens) will rock the house with their impersonations of these Rock legends.

Active Aging – The Importance of Stretching Presented by: Dean Smith, B. Sc Physiotherapy, MCPA, FCAMT, CGIMS West 4th Physio, Kitsilano Vancouver Maybe, just maybe, if we stretched more, we would be less uptight, and the world would be a better place. That may be wishful thinking, but at the very least we would be able to tie our sneakers when we’re ninety! Flexibility, or the lack thereof, is probably the single most important factor affecting our quality of life as we age. Stretching exercises may seem simple or not worth the time, but even with a little movement stretching can help. Dean will discuss the importance of Stretching and then lead the class through some hands-on exercises that we can make part of our daily routine.

DYLAN MYERS

Come join with other parents, families, and supporters in this first annual service to honour the short lives of our children. This non-denominational service will feature a children’s story time, music, candle lighting, and a message of hope and healing. There will be an opportunity to pay tribute to our children and a time for refreshments and fellowship following the service.

Cayley Dobie

HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT HONOUR HOUSE? I know the City of New West is associated with it, and I think it was between that and just word of mouth.

WHY DID YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER? Well, I’ve done a lot of volunteering with the City of New West, and I just really believed in what they (Honour House) stood for, and also it gave me a lot of opportunities to gain skills that I might not get at this stage of my career. So I’ve been doing a lot of administrative and management roles there.

National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Memorial Service

WHAT DO YOU DO AS A VOLUNTEER? I started just doing handiwork and cleaning and whatnot around the house, and then lately

I’ve been doing more of a management role, so I’m head groundskeeper there. … We did an event for the BMO marathon, so I was in charge of about 30 volunteers (who were) part of organizing the race there, and right now, I’m … part of the crew building a peace garden on the front lawn.

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND VOLUNTEERING THERE IN A WEEK? Generally, it’s once a week for two to three hours, and then it can be more depending on events and how busy we really are.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF VOLUNTEERING AT HONOUR HOUSE? I think it’s just being around a lot of like-minded people. We’re all there

New Westminster resident Dylan Myers, 25, is a volunteer at Honour House.

Ocean View Funeral Home

because obviously we’re not getting paid and we’re there because we want to support (it), and my big thing is just giving back to my community. Like I said, I do other volunteer work within the city. … My family is all from here, and me being here all my life, and with the city being so small, definitely just giving back to the City of New West as best I can. Honour House is a home away from home for injured and recovering veterans and first responders and their families.

A HOME FOR CHILDREN Some residents are surprised to learn that New Westminster was once home to an orphanage at a prominent site uptown. The Loyal Protestant Home for Children, shown here in February 1984, opened as an orphanage in 1928 and closed in November 1983. In 1984, Royal City Christian Centre acquired the property at the corner of Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue. In 2006, Thornebridge Gardens seniors’ residence opened on the centre’s former parking lot.

very seven minutes, another Canadian suffers a heart attack. Every twelve minutes, someone has a cardiac arrest. As many as nine out ten of us have at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke, and heart disease remains among the leading causes of death. Thankfully, more of us can survive cardiovascular problems these days. Advances in the care available at heart centres like Royal Columbian Hospital offer patients a better chance to recover from their conditions. As the busiest cardiac care centre in the province, Royal Columbian performs high volumes of open heart surgery and interventional procedures like angioplasty, serving one in three British Columbians across the largest and fastest growing health region in BC. A critical component of the hospital’s cardiac care is the catheterization lab. With its two cath lab suites, Royal Columbian cares for cardiac emergencies from across Fraser Health — an area stretching from Burnaby to Boston Bar, including more than 1.7 million residents. Today, these much-used cath labs are in need of full upgrades to introduce the latest life-saving technology and make sure Royal Columbian continues to deliver the highest level of care to some of the most seriously ill and injured patients in the province. Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is seeking your help to bring the latest, most advanced technology to the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. With your help, the Foundation is raising $3.3 million to upgrade our two cath lab suites with new technology and equipment, focusing on two areas: imaging equipment and hemodynamic monitoring technology. Both are essential components of the lab and work in tandem to provide accurate information for safe and efficient patient care.

Survey volunteers sought By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

British Columbia’s seniors’ advocate is still in need of volunteers for a survey of 27,000 seniors living in residential care facilities across the province. Volunteers are asking residents a range of questions on topics such as food, safety and security, privacy, comfort, respect and responsiveness of staff, personal relationships, medication and activities in the facility.The survey will fo-

cus on 303 residential care facilities in B.C. “This is the first time in this province that we have had volunteers sit face to face with some of our most vulnerable seniors on such a large scale, and the feedback we’re receiving from both volunteers and seniors themselves is very positive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said in a press release. Results of the survey will provide a roadmap to improve quality of care and services to people in resi-

dential care and their families. Each volunteer will be assigned to a facility and will be responsible for surveying a certain number of residents in that facility.Volunteers will be screened and, if suitable, will participate in a one-day training session and asked to commit to at least 30 hours over the survey period. To volunteer, visit www. surveybcseniors.org or call the Office of the Seniors Advocate’s office at 1-877952-3181.

Festival features guest speakers Continued from page 26 Advocacy and Support will discuss bullying between older adults. Some of the day’s highlights include: ! Mike McCardell of CTV will share details of his new book, None of This was Planned:The Stories Behind the Stories. ! Physiotherapist Dean Smith will provide insight on active aging.

! The film, The Age of Love, will explore speed dating, romance and sexuality for 70 to 90 year olds. The 2016 Seniors Festival includes prizes and entertainment. “We are going to have Elvis and Rod Stewart, and Mike McCardell,” Schnee said. “There is going to be some healthy eating samples that Family Services of

Greater Vancouver will be providing.That’s always fun for everyone.” The Seniors Services Society will be doing a Stand Up for Seniors walk at Century House at 11:45 a.m. and walking to the corner of Eighth Street and Sixth Avenue to send a message of the need to support the seniors. Oct. 1 is National Seniors Day.

Home support examined By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new report sheds light on the thoughts of home support clients and their family members. The B.C. Seniors Advocate has released a report on the findings of the first ever provincewide survey of home support clients and their families. Conducted in the fall of 2015, the survey received input from 5,336 clients and 4,040 family members. “We have heard the collective voice of almost 10,000 seniors and their family members on how they rate the quality and effectiveness of our provincial home support program,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said in a press release. “There was some good news in the results, as well as clear messages about where there are opportunities for improvements.” Among the findings: " 62 per cent are satisfied with the quality of the home-support services they

receive. " People want more services to be available to them, such as housekeeping (28 per cent) and meal preparation (12 per cent). " 92 per cent of respondents stated that home staff are caring and respectful, but 20 per cent say they get too many different workers. " Only 47 per cent of clients think their workers

have all of the necessary skills to provide good care. You can view the homesupport survey report at www.seniorsadvocate.ca. The Office of the Seniors Advocate also provides information and referral services at 1-877-952-3181. Read the longer version of this story at newwestrecord.ca.

Choirs sing for church’s Thanksgiving dinner Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster church is welcoming three choirs to a fundraiser for its annualThanksgiving dinner. St. Andrews Wesley Gospel Choir, the Universal Gospel Choir and the College Choir, along with Curt Allison and well-known gospel singer Gina Williams, will perform at the fall concert taking place on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. at 726 12th St. “There’s some pretty good choirs coming.They are all donating their time,” said New West resident Elaine Phillips about the fall concert. “There is no admission; it’s by donation.” Phillips said the money will go toward a Thanksgiving dinner that Lighthouse of Hope Christian Fellowship is serving up on Saturday, Oct. 8. “Our church, every year for the last 20 years or so, has put on a Thanksgiving dinner in Vancouver.The

way we do that is we hold a concert a month or so before to raise money,” Phillips said. “Our church is down to 20 people, but we still manage to serve 300 or 400 people every Thanksgiving.” Lighthouse of Hope Christian Fellowship originally met in Vancouver but has been meeting at the Heritage Banquet Hall on 12th Street since May 2015. The church has partnered up with St. Michael’s Anglican Church on the Thanksgiving dinner. “We send ticket out to various agencies. A lot of community groups get invited.We usually end up with about 100 volunteers and about 300 guests,” Phillips said. “They are treated very nicely, and they get a gift bag when they leave. It’s a really nice event.” RECOVERY HOME CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Happy anniversary to Westminster House, which has been helping women get clean and sober for 35 years.

On Saturday,Westminster House held a Tea With Friends anniversary party to celebrate 35 years of serving women in the community. Westminster House opened its doors in 1981 as a sober living residence for women who were suffering from alcoholism. As Westminster House grew in size and reputation, it continued to offer women in search of abstinence from alcohol and drugs a more formalized, holistic approach to recovery,” said a press release. “Today, the program offers a wide range of services for hundreds of women and their families each year.” Saturday’s tea party shared Westminster House’s past, present and future with guests. “It’s a great opportunity for our staff and clients to meet the people who shaped Westminster House into what it is today, hear how the program started, what it used to be and the success stories of alumni,” said program manager Tanis Maurice.

FIREFIGHTERS SUPPORT TERRY FOX RUN New Westminster firefighters’ continue to support the annual Terry Fox Run. Dr. Kathy Jones, organizer of the Terry Fox Run in New West, said the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society donated $1,000 to this year’s run. “They have been extremely generous to the Terry Fox Run in the eight years that I have been the organizer,” she said in an email to the Record. LOCAL WOMAN HEADING TO OTTAWA A local woman will be representing British Columbia in Ottawa on International Women’s Day. Sarah Saaed, of New Westminster/Burnaby is among the young women selected as Daughters of the Vote. She’ll be representing B.C. at a leadership conference that incudes them “taking their seats” in actual seats in the House of Commons held by B.C. Members of Parliament.

the world around them and encouraged to achieve their true potental as Engaging active learnersEducation and global citizens. Key to Academic Success

Technology in the classroom can be a polarizing topic. Some parents want to see as much as possible, preparing students for the future, while others would like to see it limited, for fear it dominates studies. Most parents fall somewhere in between and are constantly seeking to strike a balance.

At one private school, technology is flourishing. With that comes the responsibility to educate students how best to use it. “Increasingly, there is a need in schools as well as at home, to teach the responsible use of technology,” comments Mrs. Cheryle Beaumont, Urban Academy’s Head of School who welcomes technology in the classroom, but also ensures students know how to be responsible with it. This lesson is of paramount importance as Common Sense Media, an organization dedicated to helping children thrive in a tech world, finds that kids are spending over 50 hours per week in front of a screen. Not surprisingly, the content they consume has a profound impact on their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Digital citizenship, how we behave when we are online, needs to be discussed with children as soon as they start playing with technology. “Our Grade 7 and 8’s are investigating topics such as the use of media in our daily lives, online scams, phishing, as well as understanding the implications of copyright versus creative commons license for fair use of work,” Mrs. Beaumont explained. “As they move to post-secondary education, and eventually their chosen career path, our aim is that they will be able to respect, educate and protect themselves and others online.” Tools such as iPads make a big impact on the way junior students learn, investigate and complete various activities in the classroom. They engage student learning, encourage them to share their knowledge with others, and create a platform that

makes learning visible, providing today’s classroom a global reach. “The iPad can foster collaboration, engagement and mobility in the classroom and create authentic learning spaces for students” comments Ms. Elyse Cochrane, Urban Academy Grade 2 teacher who is completing her masters in technology in the classroom. “iPads are changing how teachers and students share knowledge, empowering students to create and share rich content with their peers. Young students can navigate kid friendly search engines, create books, music or maps, learn to read and do math in an exciting and interactive environment.”

How to help high schoolers choose the right college

Choosing a college or university is the first big decision of many teenagers’ lives. A youngster’s choice of college can impact the rest of his or her life, and it’s important that kids recognize the gravity of this decision. Many kids, in particular those who realize the impact that their choice of college can have on the rest of their lives, are overwhelmed when colleges begin sending information about their programs and campus life. Such information, especially when it is unsolicited, may begin to arrive at the beginning of high school, long before many teenagers have begun to think about where to pursue their educations after high school. But as daunting a task as choosing a college may seem, teenagers should enjoy the process, as the choice of where to go to college is unlike any other decision many students will make for the rest of their lives.

explain their financial situations to their kids at the outset of the selection process. Explain how much you can contribute toward tuition and fees, and explain the differences between loans and grants. Some kids may expect their parents to foot the entire bill for their education, but such situations are increasingly rare thanks to the rising cost of a college education. Make sure kids know the financial obligations they will be taking on should they take out loans to pay for their education.

Parents also can ensure the process goes more smoothly by helping their kids find the right school. That’s especially true for parents who have already been through the process with an older child. But even parents going through the process for the first time can take the following steps to help youngsters find the right college.

• Ask kids to list fields of study they may want to pursue. While incoming college students do not necessarily need to choose a major upon enrolling, kids who know their interests and what they may want to one day do for a living may be more likely to find the right college or university for them. Parents can ask kids to write down a list of their interests, including potential career interests. This can help kids narrow down the list of colleges and universities they are considering. For example, if a student is interested in engineering but a university on their list does not offer an engineering program, then that school can be eliminated. Kids who list multiple potential fields of study may benefit by choosing a larger school with more available programs. This can allow them to pursue more than one major or even switch majors without transferring to another school.

• Discuss finances with kids at the outset of the selection process. While the choice of where a student goes to college should ultimately rest with that student, it’s important that parents

• Visit campuses. Student-athletes who hope to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level may be limited to a certain number of official campus visits, but nonathletes face no such

restrictions. While college is first and foremost about getting an education, it’s also an opportunity to grow as a person. Campus visits can give kids a feel for campus life, which varies considerably between colleges, and that feel can help them determine if a given college or university is somewhere they’re liable to feel comfortable over the next several years. Parents can accompany kids on campus visits and ask questions their kids may not know to ask but will certainly be glad to know the answers to. Traveling to various campuses can be expensive, so parents might want to delay campus visits until kids have narrowed down their lists of potential colleges. • Stay involved. Some kids may succumb to the pressure of choosing a college and detach themselves from the process as a result. While taking periodic breaks from talking about college can benefit both kids and their folks, parents should not allow such breaks to go on for too long. Stay involved in the process so kids continue to approach it with the right attitude. If kids appear to be struggling with their decision, act as a sounding board for them so they can let off some steam and clear their heads.

On stage: Tracy Labrosse, Heather Evens and Alex Ross in the Vagabond Players’s production of Body and Soul, opening Oct. 6 at Bernie Legge Theatre. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Vagabond Players open season with new comedy The Vagabond Players are opening their season with the world premiere of a work by a local playwright. Body and Soul, by Elizabeth Elwood, runs from Oct. 6 to 29 at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park. The play, described as “a romantic comedy full of whimsical fun and a lively ghost,” tells a uniquely New Westminster-based story, with the storyline taking place in a heritage home in Queen’s Park. It follows the tale of Timothy Grey, who quits his job to write a book about one of the Royal City’s forefathers. His friend, Conrad, finds

an unorthodox way to ensure that the historic details are correct:With the help of a psychic seamstress, he restores the resident ghost and “sets off a chain of events that turns history upside down,” as a press release says. Elwood also directs the production, which includes cast members Alex Ross as the struggling writer, Heather Evens as his disapproving fiancée and Tracy Labrosse as the librarian “who has a lot more going for her than a knowledge of musty old books,” according to a synopsis. Jeremy Heynen is Conrad and Alison Main-Tourneur

appears as Tibby, the psychic.Together, they restore the ghost of Mary Fairfax, played by Jacqollyne Keathe. Rounding out the cast are Robert Bowes as the cranky landlord and Rob Larsen as Ernie, the pizza delivery man. Body and Soul is onstage Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.Tickets are $17, or $15 for seniors and youth, with $12 previews on Oct. 6 and 7.

Mystery returns to the stage Fifteen years ago, Ellie King brought the comedic mystery ItWas a Dark and Stormy Night to the stage at the Burr Theatre. Today, the Burr is no more – but King is bringing the play back to the stage with her Royal Canadian Theatre Company. The decade-old company, with King at the helm as artistic director, is staging Tim Kelly’s play at three locations: the Surrey Arts Centre, the Metro Theatre in Vancouver and the ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge. In her cast are two New Westminster residents, Kay

Lozada and Julian Legere, with Royal City locals also serving as costume designer (Stella Gardner, with B.J. Windrum) and lighting designer (Nigel Brooke). ItWas a Dark and Stormy Night, which spoofs old Hollywood movies, is set in Ye Olde Wayside Inn, Massachusetts – home of the eccentric Saltmarshes, Hepzibah (Steve Weller), Arabella (Jacqueline Becher) and Cousin Ebenezer (Michael Charrois), with their strange servant girl Olive (Jennifer Lane) and decrepit Uncle Silas. Throw in the ghost of a soldier and some strangers

– including a couple of college students played by Lozada and Legere – forced to seek refuge at the inn during a storm, and the mayhem begins. ItWas a Dark and Stormy Night takes to the stage at the Surrey Arts Centre Oct. 7 and 8, the Metro Theatre Oct. 20 through 22, and the ACT Arts Centre Oct. 28 and 29 – just in time for

Q A

My group benefits plan price went up again this year at renewal, what are some of my options?

Part 2 of 2 One alternative to the traditional group plan we discussed last week, would be a Health ADAM JUNG & Welfare Trust. There are no monthly Licensed Advisor insurance premiums. Dental and medical expenses for the shareholder and his/her employees are paid with corporate dollars. It is tax deductible for the company and a non taxable beneﬁt for the employee. The employer sets the limits for the employees, and the shareholders can set higher limits for themselves; making it a unique, tax favorable product. As an employer you now have cost certainty, and are not at the will of the insurance company every renewal like a traditional plan. The trust works best for companies with fewer than 10 employees, because traditional group plans can be exceptionally expensive for groups of that size and not alot is covered.

The essential KATIE MARSHALL fatty acids in rosehip seed oil quench dry, sun damaged skin and helps to improve the appearance of burns, scars, wrinkles and stretch marks and gives a beautiful, natural glow to the skin when used regularly. Rich in a natural source of vitamin A, known as trans-retinoic acid, reduces the activity of these skin-damaging enzymes, reducing damage caused by the sun. It’s rich in a range of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and lycopene, which help to protect and repair skin from premature ageing caused by modern living. With its neutral pH balance and anti- inﬂammatory properties, rose hip oil keeps skin balanced and healthy, helping to protect against cell degeneration caused by bacteria and oxidants.

Although there are many specially designed foods for pets, there may be situations when your pet may benefit from a home cooked diet. Before changing your pet’s diet, check DR. MANJU ARORA with your veterinarian to find out what is best. Your veterinarian can provide you with dog and cat food recipes that are formulated by an animal nutritionist. It is important to use recipes that have been properly formulated and nutritionally balanced. Read more: www.completeandbalanced.com. It is very important not to make any changes to recipes and follow them exactly. Ingredients should not be substituted even by something that sounds similar. Supplements that are recommended to balance the diet must be added exactly as specified. Some human foods can be toxic or dangerous to pets. Do not feed your pets any onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, walnuts, avocados or fruits that contain pits in them.

Q A

What is amblyopia?

Amblyopia is commonly referred to as “lazy eye.” It refers to an eye which does not develop clear vision due to a weakness of the connections between the eye and the brain. It can result from various conditions DR. KELSEY SNOW including: an eye turn, cataracts, astigmatism, far- or nearsightedness. It can often go undetected in children because they don’t know differently and may not complain. Especially if only one eye is affected, your child may continue day-to-day activities unhindered with no signs or symptoms. Treatment varies depending on the cause and may include glasses, vision therapy (eye exercises and/or patching), and/or alignment surgery in some cases. Early detection is critical so eye exams are recommended starting at six months of age, then at three years, and annually thereafter. To ensure your child develops their best vision possible, book an eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry today.

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT

Q A

Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea?

An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases. The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep. By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide. Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

NewWest Hospice Society hopes to get people to a peaceful place Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A plan is underway to help people nearing the end of their lives to live as fully and comfortably as possible and to support those who are grieving the death of loved ones. Five local residents have been part of a steering committee working on plans to create the New West Hospice Society. “It’s a really important piece of our social fabric to recognize how important this is,” said Kay Johnson. “I was reading some stuff about compassionate communities the other day. One of the things that really struck me was that the goal should be that everybody in your community is as comfortable as they can be talking about dying and death as they are about birthing and life. If we can have that as our long-range goal and keep striving for that, I think it will be an amazing thing.” Johnson, who spent much of her nursing career working in hospice and palliative care, believes in community members assisting each other through something that should be a normal life process. “I had a diagnosis of a life-limiting illness seven years ago. I have been through a lot of testing and stays in hospital and all that kind of stuff. I often say, I don’t know how people who don’t have a background in health care navigate the system. I see the gaps,” she said. “We know about New Westminster.We know there is a lot of people who are marginalized, who don’t have families, and we really need to reach out and do something about that.This is the place to do that.” Along with helping people through the grieving process, the society will also recruit, train and support volunteers, educate the community about death

We offer an apprenticeship into the Ironworker Trade with continuous on-thejob training. New group: Kay Johnson, in front, and Brock Nicholson, Vivian Wong and Wendy Johnson have been hard at work on plans to create a New West Hospice Society.

and grief and promote the formation of a compassionate community. The idea of creating a hospice society in New Westminster arose when about 200 people, including Johnson and Brock Nicholson, attended an advancecare planning fair at Century House in April 2015. “It’s really that community taking care of community and neighbours taking care of neighbours, coworkers, classmates, whomever,” said Nicholson, who has worked in hospice and palliative care. “A lot of the actual palliative care, end-oflife care and bereavement support is not done by the professional teams – that is a small and very important part, but about 85 per cent of it is done by friends and family, neighbours.” Vivian Wong is passionate about building the hospice society, having been a caregiver to various family members in the past. “It’s to dispel some of the fear that prevents people from wanting to go there and talk about it, engage in

it,” she said. “It’s something that all of humanity shares, but most of society shies away from the topic.” Wendy Johnson, a retired principal and school trustee in Langley, once worked with Kay Johnson on a pilot project that sought to get kids talking about issues around dying, grieving and loss. “The teaching staff were very impressed by the difference it made to kids,” she said. Death is often an uncomfortable topic to bring up in conversation, but it’s one that people often want to share. Kay Johnson recalled an incident in a grief support group involving a woman who had been attending the program for a few weeks. “One day she walked through the door and burst into tears. She said that she was feeling such relief from being there, knowing that she could be who she was and not have to worry about hiding her feelings or making other people feel uncomfortable,” she recalled.

“She was just so happy to be there.” Johnson said there is lots of need for bereavement support, whether it’s for parents-to-be who have suffered from perinatal loss or children and adults who’ve experienced the death of family or friends. “The research does show that if families and individuals do get support for their loss, what happens to them over the long run is a lot healthier than if they don’t.” The New Westminster Hospice Society, which recently received its certificate of incorporation under the Society Act, is encouraging people to attend a community meeting on Saturday, Oct. 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Century House that will help provide a community vision for the society. “We want the community to own this and be part of it, help us with prioritizing,” Johnson said. “We know there is a lot of needs, but we will have to prioritize what we can do.”

NEW PRACTITIONER AT MIRACLE-EAR NEW WESTMINSTER

OUR PAST

Horse races were held on Columbia Street Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The first area cleared in the city for sport or recreational use is simply referred to as the cricket ground. It was used extensively for sporting and social events and was situated near the front of what, in time, became the Woodlands property, now Victoria Hill. In the late 1880s and into the 1890s a very rocky and rough playing field was cleared near Third Street at Queens Avenue. It was known by the name of the man who owned the land,WB Townsend, hence Townsend Field. There was horse racing in town with a track in Queen’s Park paralleling First Street in the area of today’s stadium. Earlier horse racing took place on Columbia Street. Many locals will know the lawn bowling club in

Moody Park. Lawn bowling was first played locally, we are told, on primitive but usable greens in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood on part of today’s Sullivan Park.They were eventually developed in a better form on 10th Street at Dublin Street and then in time at their present home. How about swimming pools? There are a number of wading and spray pools in this city and a couple of full pools which had older versions such as Hume Park and Moody Park.The YMCA had a couple of pools at various times. One early version was on Royal Avenue across the street from today’s City Hall location, then Duke of Connaught High School. Another was in a later “Y” on Queens Avenue near Sixth Street.There was talk at one time of a pool at the high school (then Massey and Pearson, now NWSS) but it

never happened. There were roller skating venues in town at one time many years ago. One was on Columbia Street in the 400/500 block, and later there was another on Eighth Street just below Agnes Street. On a few occasions the Herring Opera House (pre-1898) was converted to a circular roller skating set up for a speed race challenge between two skaters. Round and round over a specific distance to proclaim a winner. There used to be many bowling alleys in town, not counting the currently disappearing Lucky Strike Lanes.There was one in Sapperton, at least one, maybe more very, very early, one downtown, and one uptown. Are we missing any? How about rifle ranges? Early badminton and tennis courts? Billiards and pool? Great fun!

There’s a new registered hearing instrument practitioner in town who’s making it his mission to ensure New Westminster residents have the best possible experience when it comes to evaluating their hearing loss. Scott McDonald, licensed RHIP, has been the friendly face and clinic manager at Miracle-Ear on Columbia Street since January. For more than 65 years, the company has provided state-of-the-art digital hearing aid technology for all hearing aid needs, all while promoting hearing health and screening.

eventually moved to Vancouver Island, a place he called home for two decades. He then decided to relocate to the Lower Mainland two years ago for more opportunities. “I wanted a change. I guess I got sick of taking the ferry anytime I wanted to go anywhere,” McDonald says with a laugh, adding one of his favourite parts of New Westminster is the Queen’s Park neighbourhood because it reminds him of Canada’s capital.

To stand above the competition, McDonald adds a real personal touch to his practice. “The challenge with hearing loss is that it’s not like a pair of shoes where you pick out a size and give it to them,” he says. “The idea is that it takes work, making sure the person has the right product and that they get all the necessary follow up. We pride ourselves on quality service, that people are listened to and looked after in a timely fashion.” In order to form a lifelong relationship with clients, McDonald offers free hearing aid checkups and hearing tests (a doctor referral is not required and there’s no obligation to buy). As part of the Miracle-Ear treatment plan, the cost for cleaning, maintenance and adjustment is built into the cost of the hearing aid. Asked why he loves his job, McDonald says it’s because each day is different. “I’m constantly learning new things. No two people are the same because everybody’s listening and hearing challenges are unique to them. I enjoy the variety and I enjoy helping people hear as well as they can.” Prior to entering the industry some 18 years ago, McDonald was a professional musician, playing the drums for various bands. He grew up in Ottawa and

Scott McDonald, Licensed RHIP Despite being at the helm of the business for less than a year, the community has given him a very warm welcome, according to the practioner. He plans to host some information sessions at local care facilities, seniors’ homes and health fairs in the months ahead. “I look forward to meeting the rest of the people who I’ve not had a chance to actually get in and have an appointment with,” says McDonald.

In an ideal world, you could see your trusted family doctor whenever you need to, but in the real world, emergencies arise and you have to go to the hospital, or an urgent problem prompts you to walk in and wait at a handy clinic. How can you ensure the unfamiliar doctor in front of you is making the right diagnosis? How can you be sure that you’re getting the best treatment? To start, it’s helpful to understand the basic structure of a typical medical visit. It begins when you present your problem(s).This usually takes the form of symptoms (such as pain, fatigue or shortness of breath) and the health-care provider will ask you questions to get more details. Where do you feel the pain? When did it start? What makes it better? What makes it worse? While doctors are asking these questions, we are formulating in our minds the potential diagnosis (or best explanation of your symptoms).The initial list of suspects is long, but it is pruned by your responses to our questions and what the doctor finds during the physical examination. I teach my medical students and new doctors I have mentored that we should start with a broad differential diagnosis (list of possible diagnoses) and, like a funnel, gradually and logically narrow it down to the most likely diagnosis.

NewWestminster’s senior football squad racks up another one-sided win, prepares for tougher schedule ahead Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

If things look easy during these early football days, it’s only because the New Westminster Hyacks have been working hard for it. The B.C. AAA high school football squad scored 51 points for the second straight game, topping the Carson Graham Eagles 51-0 to kick off the regular season last Friday on an impressive note. That it came before a crowd of 1,500 fans and alumni at Mercer Stadium on Homecoming Day made it all the more special. It all began with a bang, as Ben Tjernagel took the first punt return of the night and

scampered 61 yards for the touchdown. On their second scoring drive of the first quarter, Josh Olango cut through the Eagles’ line for a 21-yard major, and was followed a few minutes later by Sammy Sidhu’s 78-yard dash into the end zone, making it 22-0 before the first quarter had ended. They didn’t ease up much in the second frame, as Sidhu, on a one-yard run, and Finn Stark, catching Kinsale Philip’s pass and turning it into a 40-yard TD, completed the first half offence. It complemented the festive feel that echoed in the Mercer stands, although Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji said his takeaways from the night were in mistakes and areas the team can do better.

“It wasn’t bad, and I know what the score showed but our focus is on some little things,” said Lalji of a game where New West piled up 430 yards rushing and posted a 56 per cent efficiency rate on third downs. “I think we got sloppy at times because we knew we could come back and do some explosive runs.” Sidhu, who counted 147 yards on seven carries, scoring two majors and a pair of two-point converts, was named the offensive player of the night. Lucas Sabau also crossed the 100-yard threshold, rushing for 114 on 13 carries. On defence, Connor Pattison racked up 13 tackles, while Isaiah James counted four. Meriting special recognition was lineman

Sarban Sidhu for his work. While the team would likely have thrown more, with the score one-sided and the defensive coverage focusing on New West’s power run game, airing it out could have appeared to be running up the score, so Lalji limited his throwers to just eight attempts – with Philip and Michael Thind completing two apiece. It’s going to be a different test this Friday, when the Hyacks venture to Burnaby Lake West (5 p.m.) to play Notre Dame. “They’re a big step up,” Lalji said of Notre Dame. “They are a big-play team with a real special athlete at quarterback (Steven Moretto)...We’re ready for the next challenge and that’s what they’ll provide.”

Daniels, Kiss cruise to Cochrane titles

Royal City Curling Club teams make most of home ice advantage at junior classic Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Staring at a quick 2-0 deficit in the first end of the 2016 Anita Cochrane Memorial Junior Classic’s women’s final, the Sarah Daniels rink remained cool, calm and collected. From that point on, they were in control, cruising to a 12-4 victory over Kamloops’ Corryn Brown rink in a rematch of the 2015 inaugural event at the Royal City Curling Club. The New Westminster classic is named for Cochrane, who was a high performance player and coach at the Royal City rink and a strong advocate for the junior program. She died in 2010. The Daniels team, which calls both the Royal City and Del-

ta Thistle curling clubs its home rinks, counted three in the second and two in the third before Brown countered with a pair to make it 5-4 after four ends. But the home squad increased its lead with a pair in the fifth, one in the sixth and a game-ending four in the seventh. The Daniels rink, which were Canadian national finalists last January, includes third Sarah Loken, second Megan Daniels and lead Sydney Brilz. Brown’s squad includes Dezaray Hawes and Marika Van Osch, who were members of the Daniels team in the 2015 final and at the 2016 nationals. The defending provincial champions, Daniels went undefeated over the three-day event, including an 8-1 victory over Victoria’s Mariah Coulombe in the semifinal. Continued on page 47

Rush take Messenger with pick

The Saskatchewan Rush reached out to the West Coast with the third overall pick in the National Lacrosse League draft on Monday. The defending NLL champions chose New Westminster Salmonbellies’ Michael Messenger with the third selection of the NLL Draft. As a rookie with the Western Lacrosse Association’s Bellies this past summer, Messenger tallied four goals and three assists over eight regular season games upon finishing his fourth year at Limestone College. The 6-foot-2 forward also dominated in the faceoff circle, posting a 66-for-96 record in less than half a season in New West.

Nationals a big new stage for u16 boys Kiss rink

Mountain FC squad built foundation for nationals with strong provincial tourney Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In their last major tournament, they had a mountain to climb. This time, they are the mountain. The players with Mountain United FC boys under-16 soccer team will be packing big goals for next week’s Sportchek national soccer championships in Lethbridge, AB. The squad enters the 10-team tourney looking at building on a stellar run this past summer at the provincials, where they avenged their only losses of the season with a convincing win in the final. “I think our kids had all the motivation they needed, and while we faced some adversity we were confident that if they played tactically and played for possession that they could do it,” said former head coach Wayne Shaw of the B.C.s. “And they played

the best game of the year, and in my two years it was the best game I’d seen them play.” Shaw, who stepped down as coach after the June provincials to spend more time with family after a 30-year coaching career, said Mountain’s biggest advantage heading into the nationals, as it was at provincials, is its tactical strength. Anchored by a talented core of on-pitch leaders, the team shook off the loss of four injured starters and blanked regular season champion Coastal FC 4-0 in the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League final in Kelowna. Among the missing were Burnaby’s Ryan Hum and Lorenzo De Bei. Stepping up and enjoying stellar games were New Westminster’s Ryu Ikeda, who shifted from forward to fullback and efficiently shut down Coastal’s top shooter, North Vancouver’s Alex Wallace, Miles Gailiunas and

goalkeeper Sam Boppart. “We called up four players, who contributed, but most importantly the core came up and played its best game.The big

... the stepped up, they beat the top team in the league when it counted.

thing as a coach is I really appreciated how they stepped up, they beat the top team in the league when it counted. In regular season meetings, Coastal prevailed 4-1 and 2-1 to claim first place in the league. Those were Mountain’s only losses, and served as a great motivator.

Shaw, who coached the Mountain u17 team to the organization’s first national medal two years ago, finishing third, said the club should be a favourite to advance to the final, in a pool that includes the host Alberta champions, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The team has gone through other changes since the summer.Three members of last year’s squad have since been carded by the Whitecaps Residency program and won’t be available – New West’s Niko Papakryiakopoulos, North Van’s Jake Ruby and Coquitlam’s Gurman Sangha. Mountain FC draws players for its premier programs from New Westminster, Burnaby and the North Shore.The squad is coached by Dan Fairhurst, assisted by Brendan Shaw (Wayne’s son) and managed by Howard Hum.

clinches B.C. berth Continued from page 46

On the junior men’s side, Jordan Kiss’s foursome broke a 2-2 draw by scoring two in the sixth and two more in the eighth to pull out a 6-3 win over Langley’s Tyler Tardi and capture the event’s junior men’s championship. A year ago, it was Tardi’s team that came out on top 8-2.This time, by claiming the 2016 Cochrane Memorial junior men’s title, Kiss also secured a berth to this year’s provincials, having cracked the under-21 men’s circuit’s 100-point threshold. The Royal City-based Kiss team, including third Travis Cameron, second Nicholas Umbach and lead Derek Chandler, posted a perfect 6-0 record, with a 6-1 decision over Scott Wilson earning them a ticket to the final. New West’s Matthew McCrady’s rink finished third, beating Team Wilson 5-3.

REMEMBRANCES CLUGSTON, Millie November 10, 1932 -September 7, 2016 Millie was known for being a stylish dresser and for her impeccable grooming; a lady with excellent taste, a sparkle in her eye and a beautiful smile on her face. She loved to laugh and dance. She worked hard her whole life to make the home and family she cherished. She always had a kind word for those who were struggling. Much loved by the many friends she made in her lifetime. She will be missed by her daughter Sandy, son Brad, daughter-in-law Heather, sister-in-law Joan, long-time best friend Audrey, as well as Gordie and his daughters, Susan and Lisa and Grant and his daughter, Robyn. Millie’s friend, Nancy and Millie’s other friends at Victoria Heights will miss her, too. Many thanks go to the staff at Victoria Heights, who supported her and cared for her for the last ten years. She is now happily reunited with her soul mate and love of her life, Cliff, and with her friends who went before her to pave the way. We are certain she has been greeted enthusiastically by all her puppies, as well. A Memorial Tea will be held to celebrate Millie’s life at Victoria Heights Assisted Living, 230 Ross Drive, New Westminster on Wednesday, October 5 at 2:00 pm. As much as Millie loved flowers, she would have loved it even more if you gave a donation to the SPCA in lieu of flowers.

W ILD RICE Since opening its doors in 2012, the multiple award-winning Wild Rice has never wavered from its commitment to fusion inspired farm to table dishes. In every way, presentation, taste, technique, Wild Rice cuisine exceeds expectations. This is mainly because of the vision of owner Andrew Wong. “Wild Rice was the first restaurant to bring the concept of ‘modern Chinese’ to the Lower Mainland,” says Andrew. “For me, integral to being a ‘modern Chinese restaurant’ is our focus on using locally sourced sustainable ingredients. Although we see this as a growing trend, we simply did this by nature.” So unique is its concept, Wild Rice has garnered accolades from both local and international media. Andrew has taken that concept a step further – his east meets west approach also extends to its well curated wine, craft cocktail and beer programs. Whether it’s Ocean Wise seafood, hormone free meat, organic or farm fresh vegetables, everything is made in house to order. This culinary virtuoso fuses elements of Chinese cuisine he remembers from his youth with the offerings of the West coast to craft some of the best fare you’ll find in the Royal City. “Some of the dishes are inspired by my grandmother’s cooking but now incorporate western ingredients, and many of our ‘western’ dishes include Chinese flavours,” explains Andrew. “We are also one of the few Chinese restaurants who offer vegan dishes. A vegan can feel right at home here.” Part of its phenomenal success comes from the fact that Andrew loves feeding people, and the joy he takes from that is what makes the food at Wild Rice so incredibly satisfying. “Wild Rice is a space for the community, where friends and neighbours gather, it’s a school where we teach young people how to operate a green restaurant with strong stewardship to the land and sea,” adds Andrew.

At Wild Rice, the combination of excellent food, wine, service and atmosphere has led to a legion of fans. For more information, visit www.wildricebc.ca or call 778-397-0028. This popular eatery is located in the New Westminster Quay, 810 Quayside Dr. www.wildrice.ca
