PRESERVING A LOST ART: Markus Fahrner sorts through blocks of metal fonts he uses to create books and posters on his 1914 Colt Armoury printing press in the garage of his Port Moody home. Fahrner acquired the letterpress and associated fonts from the estate of world-renowned typographer Jim Rimmer of New Westminster.

Letterpress opens a door to the past A Port Moody graphic artist is keeping the legacy of a famed NewWest resident alive

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The late Jim Rimmer may have been one of New Westminster’s most famous residents. But he didn’t hit a baseball or win the Stanley Cup. Rimmer was renowned for his typography. From his stained-glass lit studio

behind his home on Ninth Street, Rimmer created fonts that set a standard for typographers around the world. He then cast each letter and character into lead blocks that he could use in his collection of ancient typesetting machines and letter presses to print one-sheets, posters and books that were coveted by collectors. Rimmer also designed logos that

became part of our everyday visual landscape: the flowing script for the band Heart; Simon Fraser University; a linocut of a cabin in the woods on tins of Murchie’s tea. When Rimmer passed away on Jan. 8, 2010, he was mourned in the graphic arts and typography world as “a jazz musician with inky fingers.” I met Rimmer in 2004.

He’d just won some sort of international award, which seemed worthy of recognition in the local paper, so I was dispatched with a reporter for an interview and photo shoot. Walking into his orderly studio was like entering Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, but for typography.The walls were adorned with Continued on page 6

The Queen’s Park heritage conservation area is impacting values of some properties in the neighbourhood – but the city is confident action can be taken to minimize the effects on most property owners. After approving a heritage conservation area (HCA) for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood in June 2017, city council directed staff to do more work to implement the conservation area and assess any impacts of the policy.The city hired Coriolis Consulting to do an economic analysis on the impact of the HCA, focusing on protected properties as they’re the most affected by the policy. Coriolis found the average number of sales per month has been lower in all neighbourhoods since adoption of the HCA, but sales of properties in Queen’s Park dropped more steeply than in other New West neighbourhoods. Coriolis also found that while prices in Queen’s Park continue to rise – and continue to be higher on average than in other areas of the city – the rate of price growth hasn’t been as high as in other

‘We’re supposed to live out our faith’

NewWestminster priest among religious leaders arrested in anti-pipeline protest at Burnaby terminal Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

A New West Anglican priest and a Burnaby Mennonite pastor were arrested after protesting with some 20 religious leaders outside Trans Mountain’s Westridge Marine terminal Friday. Religious and faith leaders set up blockades at both entrances to that terminal, turning away workers and vehicles starting from 5:30 a.m. Friday morning, and stayed into the afternoon, protesting, singing and praying.The group responded to an invitation from Tsleil-Waututh Nation

member Will George to religious leaders and “all people of faith and spirit” to oppose the project. A larger protest and rally of religious leaders is also planned for April 28 at the same location. Rev. Emilie Smith, the parish priest at St. Barnabas Anglican Church in New Westminster, was the first person arrested. She said she was protesting because she felt compelled by her faith to support local Indigenous peoples’ opposition to the pipeline. “This is a way we are called to live out the reconciliation is in standing

with the Tsleil-Waututh and others to defend this holy land,” she told the Record prior to her arrest. “I think our faith teaches us that we’re not supposed to just say nice things to each other, we’re supposed to live out our faith in our bodies ...We believe in taking action.” Rev. Laurel Dykstra, pastor of the Salal and Cedar Watershed Discipleship Community, part of the Anglican Diocese of NewWestminster, also joined the protest but was not arrested. Dykstra blocked the entrance to the terminal, but when police gave her the

option to leave without being arrested, she asked first for a moment to pray and then moved.

We believe in taking action She said she joined the protest because her church has said the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including their right to “free, prior and informed consent,” needs to be upheld.

“To say that you are for reconciliation, and not be for land justice, to say you are for right relations but not take risk for that, is patently false,” she told the Record. Former Mennonite pastor Steve Heinrichs currently lives in Winnipeg, but he grew up in Capitol Hill close to the Westridge Marine terminal in Burnaby. And while he is concerned about environmental risks to his hometown, he is more concerned about the Indigenous peoples’ rights because he says there has not been adequate consultation with them.That rea-

son is what compelled him to protest and risk arrest, he said. “For me, it is to fulfil a personal obligation because yes, this is the space and place where I grew up, and I’ve come to a greater awareness of whose traditional territories these are,” he told the Record prior to his arrest. “They need to be consulted with, and we need to receive their consent for a project like this.” National Anglican Indigenous Bishop Mark MacDonald and Vancouver city council candidate Rev. Christine Boyle also protested but were not arrested.

Fontaine’s in the ﬁght for New West city council Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Longtime NewWestminster resident Daniel Fontaine is the first out of the gate in the race for a seat on city council. Fontaine is a founding member of the NewWestminster Progressive Electors Coalition that launched last fall with a goal of fielding a slate of candidates for city council and school board in the Oct. 20 mu-

nicipal election. He will seek the group’s endorsement at its nomination meeting on May 29. “I have been doing various things and public service for the better part of a few decades. For me, the timing was right to put my name forward and to be part of the solution, to be there on council and to bring some new ideas,” he told the Record. While some citizens had encouraged Fontaine to run

for mayor, he said council would be a “perfect fit” for him at this time as it allows him to contribute to the community in a different way than he’s done in the past and to continue working in the field of seniors care. Fontaine is chief executive officer of the B.C. Care Providers Association. While all current members of NewWestminster city council were endorsed by the NewWestminster District and Labour Coun-

cil, Fontaine is opance that not evetimistic that can ryone is part of the change in this same political paryear’s election.The ty or the same poNewWest Progreslitical organizasives’ hope is to tion,” he said. “I bring new perspecthink that by electtives and balance ing people like myto city council and self they are going school board. to get people who “I think there is are going to ask Daniel Fontaine a real sense in the critical questions in the council race community that on council, that people want an alternative. are going to be putting forth They think it’s important to perhaps different perspecensure that for good govern- tives. I think that’s healthy.

I think it’s healthy for the community and I think that’s why we have had such a good reaction from the residents of NewWestminster so far.” Bringing different perspectives to city council and school board doesn’t necessarily mean conflict, Fontaine said. “I think you need that balance and you need that good debate,” he said.

City Heritage home values under study Continued from page 1 neighbourhoods since the city adopted the HCA. According to Coriolis, a wide range of factors can contribute to changes in assessed land values, sales volumes and sales prices, including new policies such as the provincial foreign buyers’ tax and general market-wide changes like higher mortgage rates and tougher mortgage qualification rules. The report said it’s difficult to draw “rigorous conclusions” from the available data, but the indicators suggest an impact of five to 12 percent on average. Coriolis suggests the impact is likely due to a combination of factors, including concerns about the possible loss of flexibility and increased cost of retaining an existing home and a lack of information about what the city will do to create incentives for heritage retention or to mitigate impacts. “Our analysis indicates that some of the protected (advanced) properties will have little or no impact. These are properties with good-quality, high-value improvements, especially if they are already built above allowable FSR (floor space ratio),” said the report. “However, most properties are likely to experience some impact, in the absence of mitigation measures or incentives.” Coriolis presented the city

with a number of recommendations, including providing the community with greater clarity on the HCA, exempting basement space from FSR calculation on protected properties, permitting stratification of laneway or carriage houses on protected properties and relaxing zoning and guidelines (especially for setbacks) for the main house and laneway or carriage houses on protected properties. Council will consider Coriolis’s findings, as well as proposed incentives and the results of the most recent community consultation process, at a workshop on April 30. “The reality is there is not a simple answer to the impact of the heritage conservation area,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “There are some properties that have had minimal to no impact and there are other properties that have potentially had a greater impact.” Cote said the city hopes to have a benefit and incentive program completed by June so it can address any financial gaps that may have resulted from approval of the heritage conservation area. He still believes the HCA is a good plan. “I think this is still one of the most valuable policy tools cities do have to be able to help preserve and protect heritage in our communities,” he said.

‘An intrinsic love and energy’ Continued from page 1 framed examples of his work, posters he’d designed, broadsides of poems, pages from books. Neatly arranged cabinets contained drawers of the various fonts he’d cast to assemble in the heavy, old typesetter that sat at an angle by a massive, arched stained glass window that bathed the room in a warm, orange glow. His basement workshop that adjoined the studio was cluttered with all manner of ancient, heavy iron linotype and monotype machines, and letterpresses he’d acquired from print shops that had moved on in technology. This was the roots of the very pages you’re reading now, the technology to commit those words to ink and paper pretty much unchanged since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 15th century. It was like spending an afternoon when newspapering was a noble and honourable profession, and assembling the day’s newspaper was the toil of craftsmen in dark, noisy press rooms stationed at heavy, clattering cast iron machines. When I learned Rimmer’s 1914 Colt Armoury (yes, the same company that manufactures guns) letterpress had found a new home and purpose with a graphic artist in Port Moody, I had to reconnect. Markus Fahrner said he couldn’t believe the good fortune of his find. While much of Rimmer’s printed works, printers’ dummies, manuscripts and type design work was acquired by the Simon Fraser University library after his passing, the fate of his collection of heavy machinery was less certain. Fahrner said it’s important to keep the old machines running rather than have them end up as decorative curios in restaurants or antique shops.

FRESH CHOICES

In his element: The late Jim Rimmer at work on one his vintage typesetters in the studio of his New Westminster home in 2004. Rimmer was a worldrenowned typographer who salvaged and restored old printing press machinery and then used them to create fonts and print limited edition posters and books that were coveted by collectors. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL, ARCHIVES

“I really admire the craft,” Fahrner said. “I love the way it forces you to slow down.” In fact, a poster that might take Fahrner a couple of hours to design on a computer can take days to assemble and print on the letterpress. “It’s slow and precise,” he said. “You suddenly have so much to know about the process, like the way the ambient temperature of the room

affects the ink, the type of paper you’re using, how heavy an impression you want to make on the paper.” The end product, Fahrner said, has a depth and life that can’t be produced digitally. “There’s an intrinsic love and energy in the things you produce,” he said. – Tri-City News

City Skateboarder killed in crash with semi Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A skateboarder is dead after he collided with a semitruck in Queensborough on Friday. The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. at Boyd Street near Wood Street. Early information collected by investigators indicates the skateboarder smashed into the semi-truck as it was travelling eastbound on

Boyd Street, said New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. “Just as it (the semitruck) started to go underneath the Queensborough Bridge, there’s a pedestrian pathway that comes down off the bridge and then into a crosswalk, and the initial information, the initial evidence that we’ve seen, is that it looks like the skateboarder might have run into the side of the semi-truck

trailer,” Scott told the Record, adding there wasn’t any evidence to suggest the semi-truck hit the skateboarder from the front of the vehicle. All this information will need to be confirmed by the collision investigation team, Scott said. Police had the area closed for several hours on Friday to investigate. “It is a tragic set of circumstances,” Scott said.

Man accused in 1996 sexual assault dies in custody Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The man accused of beating and sexually assaulting an 80-year-old New Westminster woman more than 20 years ago is dead. Dorothy Darnel was asleep in her bed in the early morning hours of Oct. 4, 1996, when a man broke into her apartment at 310 Eighth St. and attacked her. The injuries he inflicted to her head and face were so

severe they rendered her unconscious, according to police. Darnel survived the attack, but she never returned to her apartment. Darnel passed away in December 2015. She was 99 years old. The investigation in 1996 was led by eight full-time officers, and despite releasing a sketch of the suspect, who had been spotted fleeing Darnel’s apartment building, he was never identified. There was also a $12,000

reward for information leading to an arrest. It took a matching DNA sample to finally uncover the suspect. Last spring, the New Westminster Police Department announced it had arrested the man believed to have attacked Darnel. James Gray, 48, was taken into custody April 29, 2017. Since his arrest, Gray had been remanded to a pre-trial centre. Last week, the police department was notified

that Gray was dead. He’d died in custody. “It is unfortunate that Mr. Gray will not face these matters in a court of law,” said police spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. “However, we are satisfied with the hard work of many investigators, which advanced this file to a stage where we were able to arrest and charge Mr. Gray for the attack on Ms. Darnel back in 1996.” Gray’s death is being investigated by the B.C. Cor-

oners Service, but the cause is not considered suspicious, according to Scott.

An article in the March 29 issue of the Record – New Westminster eyes new model for health care – incorrectly stated there is only one community health centre operating in B.C. While there are many more community health centres in other parts of Canada, there is a coalition of community health centres operating in B.C.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Here are a few ground rules for election season Though the real campaign period is still months away, it’s safe to say New Westminster’s municipal election race is already underway. Today’s edition brings you a page 3 story about the first person to declare his intention to seek candidacy on behalf of the brand-new NewWestminster Progressive Electors Coalition. As the Oct. 20 election date draws closer, Dan-

iel Fontaine will undoubtedly be joined by a host of other local folks looking for a spot on school board or city council – or, possibly, just looking for a chance to make their voices heard during the campaign. We don’t know, yet, who all those folks will be. But whoever they are, we have to confess:We’re nerdily and goofily excited that it’s an election year. From a newspapering

point of view, there’s something extra satisfying about a year when local elected officials are hyper-aware of the fact their actions are all coming under public scrutiny – and when their critics are equally aware that now’s their chance to make hay with those elected officials’ perceived shortcomings and poor decisions over the previous four years. We’re expecting city council and school board

Even more than that, we love democracy … meetings will be just that much more entertaining as the months draw on. But we don’t want to see local politics descend into a free-for-all of finger-pointing and name-calling, either.

So we’re putting ourselves on the record right here, right now, in asking all our local candidates to please play nice. You remember all those great life rules you learned in kindergarten? Take turns. Share. Don’t be mean to each other. Don’t push. Don’t call anyone names.Take responsibility for yourself. Don’t blame other people for stuff that’s your fault. Clean up your

own mess. Say sorry when you hurt somebody, even if it’s by accident. Use those as your guidelines to politicking, and we’ll all make it through this sureto-be-silly season with style. Yes, we love to write entertaining headlines. But even more than that, we love democracy – and we need everyone’s help to ensure our electoral system delivers the best government we can get.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Will there be enough money?

Premier John Horgan was given a rousing welcome by delegates to the annual CUPE convention last week, but I have to wonder whether that’s going to be as good as it gets for the premier and his government when it comes to dealing with public sector unions. That’s because the NDP government will open contract negotiations this year with a vast array of those unions.There are more than 310,000 unionized public employees in B.C. whose collective agreements (about 180 of them) expire next spring, and there are another 75,000 managers in the public sector. There is no question public sector union leadership and the membership will be looking for substantially more money at the negotiating table than they received from B.C. Liberal administrations in recent years.The frugal Liberals established a “net zero” bargaining mandate in 2010 that stipulated there could be no increase in compensation unless savings were found to pay for it.That was followed by the “cooperative gains” mandate in 2012 that allowed modest wage hikes that were again tied to found savings. Then, in 2014, came the “economic stability” mandate that allowed a maximum of 5.5 per cent in total wage hikes over five years plus a small economic “dividend” tied to an improving economy. Enter the NDP, and the expectations from the public sector unions are understandably pretty high now that the days of wage re-

straint are over. There’s just one problem: there is not a lot of money in the public treasury to fund significant wage hikes for public sector employees. A rule of thumb in the finance ministry is that a tiny one per cent hike across the public sector costs the government close to $300 million. A two per cent bump costs $600 million, and so on. So, let’s say the unions come looking for a two per cent hike a year over three or four years. Sounds modest enough, unless you are the employer. That kind of compensation package would cost the government $3.6 billion over three years (the first $600 million increase becomes embedded and is counted again in years two and three, as does year two’s $600 million in year three). Finance Minister Carole James doesn’t have a lot of flexibility at her disposal. Over the next two years, her fiscal plan shows she has $2.6 billion in unallocated spending. Presumably the budget three years from now will have the usual $1.3 billion in unallocated spending, which brings the total to $3.9 billion. That modest two per cent annual increase would consume almost all that money. So James is likely going to hold the line at lower wage hikes, which may infuriate public sector workers. And that’s why the premier may not get that prolonged standing ovation when he attends those union conferences next year. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Pimply-faced perv on the run New Westminster police were on the hunt for a pimply faced sex predator who had attacked two pre-adolescent girls at knife point in November.The man, described by police as having a pale, pimply complexion, followed an identical pattern in both attacks.They both occurred on Tuesday mornings at about 8:30 a.m.The man approached the girls and identified himself as a police officer. He told them they were suspects for breaking and entering and needed to go with him for questioning. On both occasions he carried a gym bag and a 10-inch buck knife.

Opinion INBOX

We don’t need oil exports to be a successful country Dear Editor: I am very disappointed the government wants to risk destruction of our environment and violate Aboriginal rights by subsidizing businesses willing to profit from our misery by building a pipeline through unceded First Nation lands and exporting toxic oil from our West Coast. (The federal government said that Canada is “now a full supporter, without qualification,” of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples. It reads, in part: “Article 8 1. Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture. 2. States shall provide effective mechanisms for prevention of, and redress for: (a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities; (b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources.”) The perceived “need” to export this toxic product, which will be burned, further exacerbating climate change, polluting our air and damaging our health is the result of government failure: failure to diversify our economy so that we don’t need to export oil. Successful countries do not need to export oil to be successful. Look at Japan, Singapore and

Switzerland. We need to rely less on natural and more on human resources. We should stop being the drug dealer supplying junkies with their oil fixes. This is reminiscent of Britain supplying opium to the Chinese during the opium wars of the mid-1800s. Were I a politician, I might say, “After all, opium farmers and sellers need jobs, too.”

We should stop being the drug dealer supplying junkies with their oil … Please don’t permit the export of our oil, but leave it in the ground where it safely belongs. Job creation is important, but not the kind of jobs that are detrimental to our environment and health and that furthermore, provide just short-term employment. How many future generations of Canadians will be employed with this pipeline expansion? Pipelines may be safer than shipping oil by train, but pipelines are not safe: Kinder Morgan pipelines have exploded and killed people and will put our kids’ health at risk. Hopefully government will end subsidies for oil companies, as promised two years ago. And hopefully the above declaration is not just another empty promise. Paul Esslinger, New Westminster

Additionally, Zoning relaxations have been requested for the size of the new lot and the Floor Space Ratio of the new house. No relaxations are requested for the heritage house and lot.

The HRA would allow relaxations to the Zoning Bylaw, including an increase in the Floor Space Ratio for the property. In exchange, the heritage house will be fully restored and protected through a Heritage Designation Bylaw.

For the love of others: Robyn Murrell founded the Parkinson Wellness Centre, which recently opened in Sapperton and provides a variety of services for people living with Parkinson’s disease and their families. The centre is the first of its kind in the Lower Mainland. The City of New Westminster has declared April to be Parkinson’s Awareness Month. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

A new Parkinson Wellness Centre in the Royal City hopes to improve the quality of life for people living with the disease and their families. Robyn Murrell, who founded the Parkinson Wellness Centre that recently opened in Sapperton, dreamt of creating a space where people living with Parkinson’s and their families could access multiple services in one space.The centre, located at 103-450 East Columbia St., is the first of its kind in the Lower Mainland.

“Having a variety of options available in one location that can support the various needs of people fighting back against the disease will make it easier for them all around,” she said. The centre will offer a variety of programs, including exercise options, health and wellness workshops, social and cultural activities and voice therapy. While it’s been Murrell’s dream to create a centre that provided a variety of services for folks with Parkinson’s, it became a reality sooner than expected after she had to leave the local studio she was renting

to run Rock Steady Boxing New West – a non-contact boxing class designed specifically for people with Parkinson’s. Murrell, who formerly ran ZHOOSH Fitness Garage, eventually found the Sapperton space that’s now home to Rock Steady Boxing and all of the other programs offered by the Parkinson Wellness Centre. “The centre provides a place where people with Parkinson’s understand, encourage and support each other,” she said. “A sense of family and camaraderie develops, making everyone feel welcome.” Murrell is grateful to ev-

… a place where people with Parkinson’s understand, encourage and support each other eryone who has supported her dream by providing time, labour, supplies, equipment and encouragement, as well as those who have supported an ongoing Go Fund Me fundraiser at www.gofundme.com/knockout-parkinsons. With April being Parkinson’s Awareness Month, the new centre offered some free activities this month including: a six-week series

called Chronic Condition Self-Management, a program specifically for people with Parkinson’s and their family, friends and caregivers; trial classes for Dance for PD, a program that fosters confidence and grace in movement for people with Parkinson’s; and SongShine for Parkinson’s, a music and creative imagination-based immersive, holistic program that strengthens voices for

Parkinson’s. According to the Parkinson’s Wellness Centre, about 13,000 British Columbians and more than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson’s disease, which is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s.The tulip is the worldwide symbol of hope for people living with Parkinson’s disease. The City of New Westminster has proclaimed April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month. For more information or to register for any of the programs, contact clarksonheidi@gmail.com or 604-525-2631.

YOUTH PROGRAM TO START IN NEW WEST A recent fundraiser is providing the seed money for a new St. John Ambulance youth program in New Westminster.

Congratulations Carrie, here’s to your next chapter!

Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honorary colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment, said $2,000 was needed to get a program started in New Westminster. When Baker-MacGrotty and her husband David MacGrotty heard about the initiative, the New West couple agreed to personally match funds raised at the dinner – resulting in a

$1,000 donation – and promote the fundraiser. “Our gift, combined with a $300 donation from 78th Fraser Highlanders and a few other donations from committee members, resulted in raising over $3,100 in total. A fantastic accomplishment for a small group,” Baker MacGrotty said in an email to the Record.

Want to help seniors? There’s a grant for that Grants of up to $25,000 are being offered to projects being led or inspired by seniors. The New Horizons for Seniors Program helps to ensure seniors will benefit from, and contribute to, the quality of life in their communities through active living and participation in social activities. Projects being supported must address one or more of the following five program objectives: promoting volunteerism among seniors and other generations; engaging seniors in the community through the mentoring of others; expanding awareness of elder abuse, including financial abuse; supporting the social participation and inclusion of seniors; and providing capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors. Through the years, a number of initiatives in New West have been funded by

the New Horizons for Seniors Program. The Century House Association recently received a New Horizons grant to host Meeting in the Middle, a community-based intergenerational leadership project that will see youth and seniors working on five community-based intergenerational leadership projects. In 2015, Century House received a grant to create a “learning garden” project in its courtyard, and in 2013 it received a grant to offer the Heart 2 Art project whose theme was “Making the world a better place through art.” In anticipation of the next New Horizons call for proposals, the Government of Canada is providing information to people through information and grant-writing sessions. While no sessions are set for New Westminster, there are some nearby. A few highlights:

New Arthritis Painkiller Works on Contact and Numbs Pain in Minutes New cream works faster and is more targeted than oral medications. Key ingredients penetrate the skin within minutes to relieve arthritis pain, joint stiffness, and muscle soreness. Users report signiﬁcant and immediate relief.

By Robert Ward Associated Health Press TORONTO – Innovus Pharmaceuticals has introduced a new arthritis pain relief treatment that works in minutes. Sold under the brand name Apeaz™, the new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right below the skin. When applied to an arthritic joint, or a painful area on the body, it delivers immediate relief that lasts for hours and hours. The powerful painkilling effect is created by the creams active ingredients, three special medical compounds. Anesthetics are used in hospitals during surgery. They block nerve signals from the brain so that patients don’t feel pain and they work fast. The anesthetic found in Apeaz™ is the strongest available without a prescription. The cream form allows users to directly target their area of pain. It works where it is applied. The company says this is why the product is so effective and fast acting. “Users can expect to start feeling relief immediately after applying,” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj, President of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “There will be a pleasant warming sensation that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This is how you know that the active ingredients have reached the affected joint and tissue.”

Works In Minutes For arthritis suffers, Apeaz™ offers impressive advantages over traditional medications. The most obvious is how quickly it relieves pain discomfort. The cream contains the maximum approved dose of a top anesthetic, which penetrates the skin in a matter of minutes to numb the area that’s in pain. This relief lasts for several hours. Published pre-clinical animal studies have shown that the ingredients in Apeaz™ can also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction. There are also no negative side effects like from oral medication. Apeaz™ delivers its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications are absorbed in the digestive tract. Overtime, the chemicals in pills can tear the delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding. When compared to other arthritis medications, Apeaz™ is a fraction of the cost. At less than $2 a day, the cream quickly is becoming a household name.

Those with terrible arthritis in their hands and ﬁngers, love how easy Apeaz™ is to open. The jar ﬁts in the palm of the hand, which makes it much easier to use.

Instant Pain Relief Without a Prescription Many Apeaz™ users report significant improvements in daily aches and pain. Many more report increased flexibility less stiffness, and decreased muscle soreness. They are moving with less pain for the first time in years, like Henry Esber, an early user of Apeaz™. “I’ve tried more pills than I can count. I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots. Nothing is as effective as this product. With Apeaz™, I get relief right away. I rub a little on my hands. It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the pain from getting really bad. It’s completely changed my life.”

How It Works

Apeaz™ contains the highest, non-prescription dose of a medical compound that ﬁghts pain on contact. When applied to the skin it goes to work within minutes by penetrating right to the source of your pain, numbing the nerve endings. “This is why Apeaz™ is so effective for people with arthritis pain. It reduces pain while adding an additional potential layer of jjoint support,” pp p j explains Damaj. Apeaz is a Natural Health Product approved by Health Canada for the following conditions: • Arthritis pain • Simple back pain • Strains • Sprains • Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain

A New Way to Treat Pain Although Dr. Damaj and his team say that their cream is the fastest and most effective way to relieve arthritis pain, they believe there is still a reason to take joint pills. The most effective are those which help to further lubricate, strengthen and support the joints. That’s why every container of Apeaz™ comes with ArthriVarx™, a breakthrough supplement that’s taking on joint support in an entirely new way. ArthriVarx™ works on your joints, making it the perfect companion to Apeaz™. “ArthriVarx™ contains special compounds published to lubricate the joints and connective tissues that surrounds them. With daily use, they improve joint health and can give an extra cushion,” explains Dr. Damaj.

Apeaz™: Quick Acting Pain and Arthritis Cream is Now Available Without a Prescription

“When combined with Apeaz™, it becomes the perfect system to tackle arthritis. While the anesthetic component of Apeaz™ is working on the outside, relieving pain on contact, ArthriVarx™ is working on the inside, adding cushioning to the joints”’

A Powerful Combination For Arthritis and Joint Pain With daily use, Apeaz™ plus ArthriVarx™ helps users live a more vital, pain free life without any of the negative side effects or interactions associated with oral drugs. By delivering fast, long-lasting, and targeted relief from joint pain and supporting longterm joint health, Apeaz™ and ArthriVarx™ is the newest, most effective way to tackle your arthritis pain.

Community SAVE THE DATE – MAY 3

DRUG FORUM

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Lower Mainland Purpose Society’s Stride program is hosting New Westminster Community Dialogues: Overdose Crisis, which has been funded by the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research. Community members are invited to attend the free community event and join the conversation. DETAILS, PLEASE: The free event is taking place on Thursday, May 3 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Fraser River Discovery Centre, 788 Quayside Dr. Light refreshments will be provided at the event, which will feature a few information booths, short speeches by people including Mayor Jonathan Cote and a medical health officer, and a group discussion. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE EVENT? The Purpose Society is hoping to engage with a wide swath of community members about the opioid crisis, with the aim of reducing stigma, challenging misconceptions and providing a venue for people to share their experiences and perspectives on the issue. Logan Ansell, team leader of the Stride with Purpose

program, said the event is a great opportunity for the whole community to come together to share their experiences and perspectives on the ongoing overdose crisis. “It seems that everyone you speak with has been personally affected in one way or another by this issue,” Ansell said. “Dialogue can be a very effective means of reducing some of the stigma and social isolation that’s directly contributing to all of these unnecessary deaths. We have a lot of regular, everyday people in our city who use substances and may be at an increased risk for overdose because they aren’t able to talk to the people around them. These people are your neighbours, family members, friends or

coworkers. “We’re hoping this event will help to break down barriers, create understanding, and humanize the problem in a way that statistics simply can’t. We invite everybody who cares about the health of their community to come out and join us.” WHAT IS THE STRIDE PROGRAM? Stride with Purpose is a health program within the Lower Mainland Purpose Society that seeks to reduce harm from drug use, prevent illness, promote testing for HIV, hepatitis C and sexually transmitted infections, and promote healthy healing and addictions recovery. I’M INTERESTED – DO I NEED TO REGISTER? Seating is limited, so you must register at Eventbrite. ca (search for New Westminster Community Dialogue) or call 604-5262522. – Theresa McManus

It’s a Hammer Time! fundraiser for the kids Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New West residents can get in touch with their creative sides at Hammer Time. The Spare Parts Adventure Society is hosting Hammer Time!, a pop-up fundraiser on Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at River Market. Proceeds will help the society bring more popup playground events to New Westminster’s parks and events. “The purpose of Spare Parts is to teach kids independence, the ability to think freely. It’s a chance to take risks and to try new things without being afraid that they might fail.Too much of our society is product-based.They go to school, they produce a piece of art – the piece of art needs to look like the teacher has done it, etc.,” said Alice Cavanagh of the Spare Parts Adventure Society. “With Spare Parts Adventure they don’t have to produce anything in particular so they can spend a lot of time just enjoying the process of creating without really having to achieve anything.” Dedicated to offering children and youth access to free, child-driven educational opportunities, Spare Parts Adventure holds workshops and day activities where kids build their own playgrounds using raw materials such as rope, tarps, PVC pipe, wood, tires and other items that help a child’s imagina-

tion to flourish. Since 2016 the group has put on workshops for youth in various New Westminster neighbourhoods, helping them to develop self-reliance by taking risks and experience active play in barrier-free environments while developing their problem-solving and teamwork skills.

We are going to let the parents have a round of building and see what they come up with. … We’d love to see everybody there.

Cavanagh said the society has held seven Spare Parts pop-up events in the last two years and the events have been well attended, even drawing people from

outside New Westminster. With parents often telling organizers that their kids have a load of fun building and creating at Spare Parts Adventure pop-up playground, the society has decided to give adults a chance to get involved; Hammer Time includes a building contest where attendees are invited to use spare parts and their imaginations and creativity to build something exciting, with prizes being awarded to the best creations. “We are going to let the parents have a round of building and see what they come up with,” Cavanagh said. “We’d love to see everybody there.” Hammer Time also features a silent auction with more than 20 items donated by local companies, as well as entertainment offerings in Metro Vancouver. Hammer Time! tickets are $20 per person and are available at Eventbrite.com (search for Hammer Time).

People IN MEMORIAM: VANCE MCFADYEN

Pride founder was ‘a real hero’

Please recycle this newspaper.

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Vance McFadyen’s legacy will long be remembered in the Royal City. McFadyen, who died March 23 after a brief battle with cancer, was a leader on a number of fronts, including founding the Royal City Pride Society (now New West Pride) which started the New West Pride Festival in 2010, which led to the pride festival becoming a way of showcasing New Westminster as a diverse and welcoming city. “He was the guy who walked through that door, here, and asked us if we would support a Pride Week in New Westminster,” recalled Coun. Bill Harper. “I remember because we put the motion forward immediately. He became the leader of all those different kinds of things.” In 2012, McFadyen cofounded the Seniors Gay Straight Alliance at Century House, the first group of its kind at a seniors centre in Canada. “To me, he was a real hero,” Harper said. “It’s a huge loss for New Westminster. He contributed hugely to the city. It wasn’t just the gay community.” While McFadyen enjoyed his roles in starting Pride Week and the Gay Straight Alliance, husband Curt Higham said he was proud of volunteering with the Seniors Peer Counselling program at Century House, and serving as president of the Seniors Services Society and the Century House Association. He also served as the president of the New Westminster Lawn Bowling

Club and ran for city council in 1999 and for mayor in 2011, in a race where he placed third but was happy to have brought “a sense of evenness, a sense of politeness” to the campaign. In 2010, he spearheaded a fundraising campaign that led to New Westminster receiving a $25,000 grant from Kraft Canada for the new youth centre and a live TSN SportsCentre broadcast. More than anything, Higham said his husband was a family man who would like to be remembered for the kind of person he was. “Just being a good soul. He never hurt anybody,” he said. “He is very proud of his boys. He has two sons, two grandsons and a greatgrandson who is just four months old.Very familyoriented. He was so kind.

Helpful. Giving of himself.” McFadyen and Higham met while having lunch at the Marine Room restaurant in the former Eaton’s store in downtown Vancouver in November 1976.

He was always smiling and happy.

“We each spied each other across the restaurant, struck up a conversation and were together 41 years. After 26 years together we legally got married on Aug. 29, 2003. It didn’t matter to me, but it was so big for him. Part of it was the gay rights thing and equal rights,” Higham said. “He was kicked out of the navy

for being gay.” McFadyen was at home with Higham last November, when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an apology to civil servants, military members and criminalized Canadians who suffered discrimination and injustice based on their sexual orientation. In addition to the apology, the federal government announced $110 million in compensation for LGBT civil servants and military members whose careers were sidelined or ended because of their sexuality. McFadyen was just 17 when his three-year term with the Royal Canadian Navy ended early in 1960 because he was gay. "It screwed up my life pretty bad for the next 10, 12 years. I came back, and everyone was surprised I was back after 11 months Continued on page 36

Does independent living provide medical assistance?

Independent living communities do not offer medical care or nursing staff, but that does not mean you have to live without ADELE FUSSI, BSc.BM help.

Q A

How could the proposed incentives for protected properties in Queens Park affect my homes value?

Considerably! For example, if you had a 3000 sq. ft. home in Queens Park on a 6000 sq. ft. lot with lane access and a low-height basement, DERRICK THORNHILL your property today would be Park Georgia Realty considered maximized for density or SFR (square foot ratio). With the proposed incentives, you potentially may be able to add 1600 sq. ft. to your home and build a 600 sq. ft. stratiﬁed laneway home. You may see me marketing your neighbours’ garage a few years from now. To answer your question, simply adding the ability to stratify a laneway home is estimated to increase your current land value by $90,000.00, not to mention the potential value of the additional ﬁnished square footage.

Q A

What is diffused facial redness?

Facial redness can occur due to small, discrete, red blood vessels called Telangiectasia, these are more commonly referred to as broken capillaries. Diffuse redness most commonly affects the nose, forehead, and KATIE MARSHALL cheeks. Common causes include genetics, aging, hormonal changes, ultraviolet exposure, extreme climate changes or lifestyle factors. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea, diagnosis is typically between 35 and 55 years of age. Whilst there is no cure for Rosacea there are effective treatment options to control the condition. Treatment of Rosacea focuses on reducing inﬂammation, controlling excessive sebum production and acne, avoiding trigger factors and treating the blood vessel proliferation. Advice and education on the best topical skincare program for a particular skin type is essential and it’s important to have realistic expectations when managing this chronic skin condition.

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Can you get ‘burnout’ from caring for a loved one?

It is straining and stressful for adult children to provide comprehensive daily care to their elderly parents when one or both of their parents are WENDY J SCOTT not able to look after themselves RN, BScN, MA anymore. It’s usually the daughter caring for her elderly mother. The caregiver (the daughter in this case) can become mentally and physically exhausted, irritable and resentful. Of course the primary beneﬁts of Home Care services are that someone caring for their elderly parents can avoid physical and mental burnout, ease or remove their guilt, and spend actual family time with their parent. I was reading a very informative article about ‘Caregiver burnout’ last week and noted that all of the same signs and tips around caregiver burnout were the same as what someone may experience with any type of burnout.

Q A

There are no worms in my dog’s stool, so why is my veterinarian recommending deworming?

Most worms that affect dogs and cats live in the intestine, and lay eggs that shed in the pet’s stool. These eggs cannot be seen DR. MANJU ARORA without a microscope. Pets who have worms do not usually act sick. Internal parasites may affect your pet all year long, especially in a mild climate. It is important to discuss a deworming schedule with your veterinarian based on the individual lifestyle of your pet. Outdoor cats may be at high risk of tapeworm infections. There is now a topical deworming option for cats using an easy-to-apply liquid. If you prefer not to deworm your pet, ask your veterinarian about stool testing that can be performed.

Community Electric buses coming to city New Westminster is one of the places TransLink will be testing out electric buses in 2019. TransLink is partnering with Natural Resources Canada, Metro Vancouver and B.C. Hydro to bring four fast-charging electric battery buses to the region starting in 2019.The project will allow TransLink to explore another way to reduce carbon emissions. “Mass transit has always scored high as a sustainable way to move large numbers

of people, but many transit vehicles still use carbonbased fuels,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond. “Today, almost half our bus fleet runs on cleaner technology, including our electric trolley, hybrid diesel and natural gas buses.With this fast-charge, battery-electric trial,TransLink is getting the on-the-ground experience we need to develop our low-carbon fleet strategy and transition towards a zero-emission fleet.” Manufacturers New Fly-

er and Nova Bus will each produce two electric-battery buses for testing on Route 100, which travels along Marine Drive through Vancouver and Burnaby and ends in New Westminster. High-powered charging stations, to be installed at the 22nd Street SkyTrain station and the Marpole bus loop, will deliver a rapid charge within four to seven minutes while the buses are in layover.

McFadyen was ‘a good soul’

Continued from page 34 when I’d signed up for three years,” he told the Record last fall. “I ended up lying to my family, my parents, everybody. I told them the reason I was discharged on medical grounds is I had acute sea sickness. I held that lie for about 10 years.” The couple lived in a house near Moody Park for 30 years, before retiring to a small community on Vancouver Island in June 2017.

After being diagnosed with terminal cancer in January, they made the decision to return to New Westminster, where Higham was born and raised. “He was diagnosed in January and he passed away March 23. It was very, very quick,” Higham said. “He was so stoic. He was always smiling and happy, and worried more about me than himself.” As per McFadyen’s re-

quest, a celebration of life will take place at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park on a Sunday afternoon in the summer. It’s set for Sunday, July 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers, McFadyen hoped people would make a donation in his memory to the Seniors Services Society or Senior Peer Counselling program at Century House.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY April 26, 2018 37

People Prison reform advocate honoured with bursary Diane Strandberg

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A former Riverview Hospital nurse and prison reform advocate who died in a botched hostage taking at the old B.C. Penitentiary will be remembered at a special event on the future of mental health. Mary Steinhauser was only 32 when she died in a hail of bullets as prison guards tried to take out three prisoners who had held 15 classification officers hostage at the New Westminster penitentiary while they negotiated for drugs and an escape plan. “She was a very loving and compassionate person and offered herself up as the principal hostage,” recalls Margaret Franz, Steinhauser’s sister. A panel discussion, Mental Health in B.C.: History and Hope is set for Coquitlam Public Library on Sunday, May 6. It will feature historian and former psychiatric nurse Anna Tremere and Dr. John Higenbottam, former Riverview

and Vancouver General hospital administrator, and Franz hopes it will educate people about the importance of mental health and Riverview’s role in ensuring people have the care they need. To Franz, who remembers her sister as a strongwilled woman with a streak of independence and passion for social justice causes, Steinhauser was a progressive voice in understanding the link between criminal behaviour and mental health. In 1960, Steinhauser trained as a nurse for two years at Essondale hospital, or Riverview as it later became known, before continuing her studies and completing her master’s degree in social work at UBC. While working in the B.C. prison, Steinhauser advocated for an end to capital punishment, held group sessions with B.C. Pen inmates and served on a federal task force for the abolition of solitary confinement. When the hostagetaking took place in June

1975, Steinhauser agreed to be the principal hostage. She was used as a human shield by the leader, and when the other hostages struck one of the prisoners and a commotion ensued, Steinhauser was the only person to die. The shocking event shook the province: headlines splashed across front pages of daily newspapers, an inquest and a royal commission were held. Both ruled her death as accidental, and it was never determined exactly who fired the bullet that killed Steinhauser. Her sister remembers asking one of the prison guards directly if he shot her sister. His reply during the inquest, she recalls, was simply, “I could have.” Franz herself is trying to bring closure after 43 years, having amassed a large collection of documents and materials that will be given to SFU, where the sisters went to university. A bursary has also been established at SFU in Steinhauser’s name, and, in recognition of her support of

For Mary: Margaret Franz is hosting a panel discussion Sunday, May 6 about Riverview and mental health, in memory of her sister, Mary Steinhauser, who was a Riverview nurse but became a classification officer working in B.C. Pen. She was killed in a hostage taking at the Pen in 1975, and Franz is fundraising for a bursary in her sister’s name. PHOTO DIANE STRANDBERG, TRI-CITY NEWS

First Nations inmates, annual bursaries are awarded to SFU Aboriginal undergrads studying the humanities. Franz hopes to get enough funds in the bursary to make it sustainable while also ensuring that the public does not forget her sister’s sacrifice. “If I can do this and keep

Mary’s story alive and introduce a new generation and celebrate her passions and help university students pursue their dream and their ambitions, I will accomplish my goal,” Franz said. Mental Health in B.C.: History and Hope takes place Sunday, May 6 from 1 to 3

p.m. at the Coquitlam City Centre Library, Room 135. Admission is by donation; $10 is the suggested minimum. RSVP to Margaret Franz at mfranz01@telus.net, call or text 604-644-6607. For more on Mary Steinhauser and the bursary, visit www.marysteinhauser.com. – Tri-City News
