Program aimsto bring AEDsto communityAMANDA OCKELOENCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Sudden cardiac arrest can strike anywhere, and it can hap-pen to anyone at any time: shopping in the Cove, sitting in theferry line up, reading a book at home.The Rotary Club of Bowen Island has initiated a program

named Jump Start that plans to site Automatic External De-fibrillators, AEDs, at many points around the island where thepublic will be able to access one when needed. The rotary willalso be supporting the basic training sessions so that anyonesituated near an AED knows how to give CPR and use an AEDto help a heart attack victim.How prepared are you to deal with sudden cardiac arrest?

Many people rely on a first-aid attendant, paramedic, staffmember, or bystander to perform CPR (cardiopulmonaryresuscitation) until emergency medical services arrive at thescene. Combined with CPR, using an AED may increase thelikelihood of saving a person’s life over CPR alone.This is something very close to my heart as I grew up in a

family of first responders. My mum, Pam Still, was a para-medic, and my pops, Alan Still, was a paramedic and fire chieffor many years on Bowen. The pager always seemed to go offright when my mum started frying onions for supper. I was leftstirring and adding ingredients until they came home. It trulywas very exciting, and I was so proud.It was inevitable that I would join the ranks of paramedics,

and then after seven or so years, steer into a calmer directionteaching first aid and how to use AEDs.An AED is a small, portable, and easy-to-use device that

assesses the heart of a person in cardiac arrest for a shockablerhythm. If a rhythm is detected, the helper is instructed topress a button to deliver a shock, or series of shocks, to thevictim’s heart to allow it to return to a normal rhythm. If noshockable rhythm is detected, no shock can be given, and thehelper must continue CPR until medical help arrives.Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart unexpectedly

stops beating effectively. It is a major cause of death in Canada.Differing from a heart attack that is something you are con-scious with and experiencing, sudden cardiac arrest means novital signs are detected and the heart no longer pumps bloodto the brain. Without the oxygen and nutrients supplied by theblood, brain cells begin to die within minutes and death soonfollows. CPR can maintain oxygenation and blood circulation,

and drilled down into theirresults with a 39-page survey.Our survey showed that while

85 per cent of us have a GP,(general practitioner or familydoctor) only 32 per cent usea GP on the island. It wouldseem like we are well-servedhere, but we are not.”She adds: “The fact that

somany people are going offisland for medical attentionis what prompted us to lookmore closely at howwe gethealth care.”

The Bowen Island RCMP are investigating

two attempted break and enters and one break

and enter which have led them to believe that

the culprit(s) have familiarity with the neigh-

bourhoods.One was on Dorman Road. The owners

were away for a few days and the suspect

attempted, but failed, to gain access by forcing

open a rear door.No entry was gained during an attempt

on Hummingbird Lane, either. Although the

property might have appeared vacant, the

suspect was scared away from trying to open

a lever-operated window when the owner

turned the lights on.In the third incident, the suspect cut

through the screen of a window that was left

open to gain access to a home on David Road

that, once again, appeared vacant. The suspect

had rummaged through the master bedroom,

opening drawers, but was scared away by resi-

dent’s dog.The RCMP says two of these incidents

occurred after midnight and access was via

the rear of the residence.Tips on deterring theftsThe RCMP reminds residents to walk

around their homes to assess ‘weak points’

during the day and in the evening.Look for objects that might be used for

access such as ladders, stumps, and rocks.

People should also assess the visibility of

items of value that can be seen from the out-

side.“Criminals tend to be opportunistic,” says

Bowen Island RCMP Cpl. Paulo Arreaga.

“Mainly small items that are left in the open

and are quick to grab will be targeted (phones,

laptops, money, wallets, purses). These items

should be kept out of plain view. If they are

going to be in plain view, consider your sur-

roundings before you leave them unattend-

ed. At home or in a vehicle, close and lock

windows and doors. Out in the town, don’t

leave items of value on a table or in a shop-

ping cart for even a few seconds.

Why the healthcaresurvey matters Artists bid oncrosswalk design


It was two in the morning and Colleen

O’Neil’s five-month-old daughter was

gasping for each breath. As O’Neill paced

through the night trying to comfort the

baby, she wondered whether to call the

island’s emergency’s services.She hesitated. Should she bother the para-

medics in the middle of the night, and what

about the driver of the water taxi who would

have to take them across to Horseshoe Bay?

No, she decided, she’d wait for the 5:30 ferry.

When she got to the hospital she discov-

ered her daughter had pneumonia. “I should

have taken her right away,” she says today.

How many times have people on Bowen

Island hesitated to call 911 or seek their doc-

tor’s help because of how complicated it is to

get off the island?That’s exactly the sort of informa-tion O’Neil, and other members of the

Community Medical Clinic Society of

Bowen Island, want islanders to provide.


Artists don’t usually like people trampling

all over their work but when it comes to a

new creative idea for the streets of Bowen,

they’d be thrilled.The Bowen Island Municipality is invit-

A life together, full of adventure

LOUISE LOIKEDITOR

Most people who live onBowen have, in all likelihood,been intoThe Snug.You’ve also probably placed

your order and been called“Blu” by Piers Hayes, one ofthe partners in the cafe.“I can’t remember names,”

says Piers, who calls everybodyby the same name.What Piers keeps in sharp

recall, however, is a life ofadventure, particularly as itrelates to the decades sincehe stood in an elevator with ateenage girl who would even-tually become his wife.“She was as young as a

poppy seed and I was as old asthe sea,” says Piers, referring totheir eight-year age difference.The sign on the door of the

Hayes home reads “Welcomeaboard, an old sailor lives herewith his life preserver.” His wifeJoan (his “life preserver”) wasthe girl in the elevator.“She askedme which way

the elevator was going. I said‘Sideways,’ and she laughed,”recalls Piers.Thirty years later, Piers

can still make Joan laugh ashe recounts the story of theirlife together.The two havetravelled together from SouthAfrica to Toronto, to Abbots-ford and then Bowen, and notin the usual manner.Piers and Joan hit it off from

the first moment they met inthe elevator.They took up sail-ing, had small sailing adven-tures, and began building a lifetogether when Piers got sick.“It led to a salient moment,”

says Joan. She recalls Piersdeclaring, “Let’s buy a boat. Weneed to do something with ourlives.”Though the moment has less

clarity for Piers, he acknowl-edges it was “an epiphany.”When Piers got well, they tooktheir 20-foot boat, and theirchildren, andmade a movefrom Johannesburg to Cap-etown.There the pair madefriends with a sailing familyand got talking about a big sail-ing adventure.They hatchedthe idea andmade it happenover the next five years.By the time the two families

set off across the Atlantic toNorth America, Joan and Piershad three children (William,Sarah-Jane andMiles) allunder the age of 10.The familywound up living on their boatfor four years, two of them indock in Toronto, and two ofthem spent sailing fromAfricato Port Credit, near Toronto.The couple agrees that the

Couplerecountstales oftravel

kids learned invaluable lessonsfrom their travels and didn’tget into any dangerous situa-tions.They recall sitting onetheir boat 200 miles from themouth of the Amazon wherethe kids were able to see itspower.They also got to spendtime in the middle of the SouthAtlantic on the island whereNapoleon had been both exiledand interred. Geography, his-tory, astronomy, it all becamepart of the kids experientiallearning, along with distanceeducation programs that Joantaught on board.Joan says the family

never experienced anythinglife-threatening.“Themost horrific was

when we got flattened whenwe hit a squall by North Car-olina near Cape Hatteras. Wecould see the squall and keptdodging it. Twenty miles offshore we tried to face it and itcame at us like a train. It torethe main reef sail and flattenedthe boat.”Joan says she put the kids

below deck and told themthey were about to go througha squall, giving them in-structions about what wouldhappen and what to do. Sheclosed the hatch and helped getthe boat through the one-hoursquall.“It righted almost immedi-

ately,” she says.Piers adds that the sailing

trip was “90 per cent boredom,five per cent exhilaration, andfive per cent naked terror.”A particularly wonderful

thing for the family was beingable to enjoy the kindness ofstrangers everywhere theywent.“We were in Venezuela at

Christmas and got a cab driverto take us around for a coupleof days,” says Piers. “We wereChristmas shopping and weleft the presents we had boughtin the cab with him.”The couple trusted that the

presents would still be in thecab when they returned fromrunning errands. “When wetell people that we left the pres-ents with the cab driver, theythink we were crazy, but youhave to trust your instincts.”The couple say that travel

makes a personmore open,more trusting in the good ofhuman nature. “He gave usthis ice-pickbottle opener thathe made by hand as a present,”says Piers of the cab driver,showing the gift that he stillholds dear.While the Hayes family

was separated from theirCapetown friends once theyhit the Atlantic waters, thetwo families would re-groupon occasion until they got toNorth America.They travelledthrough warm turquoise wa-ters to islands likeMartiniqueand Trinidad.They went tothe Bahamas, Curacao, Aruba,and Jamaica and spent threemonths in the Cayman Islandsbefore hitting the UnitedStates.The other family headed off

to New Zealand.TheHayesfamily stayed along the U.S.

coast, making friends as theywent. Piers describes meetingan American representativefrom the Rotary Club.Theman, like Piers, was part of theinternational Rotary Club, “buthe didn’t know us from a bar ofsoap,” says Piers.With a spirit of generosity,

and staying true to the RotaryClubmotto (Service AboveSelf), the man invited thefamily into his home.“He askedme how long it

had been since the kids hadhad a bath,” says Joan. “Laterthat day, the kids were enjoyinga warm, soapy, bubbly bath.”It was something they hadn’t

been able to enjoy on boardthe boat. Piers says that “travelspreads the gospel of generosi-ty of the human spirit.”He advises travellers to go

off the beaten path, trust theirinstincts and take chances.“People are afraid of their ownshadows now,” he notes. “Gowhere there are no planes, noroads.”Piers believes strongly that

people are good and kind. Hesays the less people have, themore generous they seem tobe, adding: “After travel, yourfaith in humanity is muchstronger.”TheHayes family eventually

made their way to Ontario,and then to Abbotsford wherePiers worked at General Elec-tric.Their sailing friends, nowliving in New Zealand, had afriend from Canada who said,“Go to Bowen Island.”When they decided to

follow his advice, Piers saysthey were heading to the ferryand came over the ridge alongthe highway from Caulfeild inthe fog.They crested the hilland the vista opened up, whichwas their first impression ofthe island.In Snug Cove, the bakery

bore the same name as thebakery back home: the OvenDoor.Immediately comfortable,

the family checked out thecommunity school and wentto a church service where thehead of the congregation, Lar-ry Adams, was welcoming andinvited the family to stay in hishome the following weekendwhile the Adams family wasaway. “He didn’t know us froma bar of soap,” says Piers.They were impressed. Before

heading back to the mainlandthey made a stop at the Snug.Theymoved to the island 20years ago and took over theSnug nine years ago.“I’ve never worked so hard

in my whole life,” says Piers,remembering how Joan hadonce suggested “it would benice to retire and open a nicelittle cafe.”The night before they were

to open the café, a strong windstorm hit the area.The couplewere up all night, scared asthey listened to screamingwinds and tree after tree fallingdown. Four trees crashed neartheir home and Stanley Parklost thousands of trees thatsame time.Unable to sleep, Piers decid-

ed to head to the café. Halfwayacross the island, he found anabandoned car under a fallentree lying across the road andcould see another tree acrossthe road further on. He jokesthat he wondered if it was awarning to them about theirnew business.Piers is up at 2:30 a.m. every

day to go down to the cafe.Ninety per cent of every-

thing they sell is made on-site,the owners will tell you withpride.They also now have 10 per

cent of the business made upof catering to groups. To keepup with demand, the couplehired an ESL student who hadbeen studying at the languageschool on the island.The astuteand hard-working student,Ai Kanezaki, worked her wayinto the position of businesspartner.The couple purchased the

building one year ago andnow two of their kids, Williamand Sarah Jane help run thebusiness.These days, the couple find

excitement in runningTheSnug, tinkering on the pianoand singing with the choir.They stay involved with theRotary Club, and through thecollection jars in their café andpersonal efforts and gener-osity, they have helped raisethousands of dollars in supportof various causes and charitieschampioned on the island.“It’s a great community that

way,” says Piers. “Very gener-ous and supportive.”

What happened?

It’s been more than eight months since two major earthquakes hit Nepal.The earthquakes devastated the country where more than 8,600 died, up to

300 suffered a spinal cord injury.Regrettably, the Nepalese government has not distributed the US $4 billion

donated in humanitarian aid. Many people continue to live under tarps and intents during this very cold winter season. Electricity availability has now beenreduced to just six hours a day.In the face of such turmoil, I was impressed during my recent trip to find

Spinal Injury Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC).The centre is a hive of activity, continuing to provide care and rehabilitation

Nepal now, as it recovers from devastationKATE COFFEYCONTRIBUTING WRITER

to these patients, as well as working closely with key donors to satisfy theirreporting needs.Most encouraging is the Nepal government’s drive to name SIRC as the

leading organization to establish Nepal’s Rehabilitation Policy, as well as runmultiple training sessions to educate medical and emergency response teamsacross Nepal on the complexities of spinal cord injuries.I am hosting a fundraiser and information event for SIRC this weekend.

The visit of three repre-sentatives of BC Ferries toBowen Island Jan. 15 led toa useful discussion of waysto improve the experience ofIslanders using the service.Mark Collins (vice pres-

ident of strategic planningand community engage-ment), Darin Guenette(manager of public affairs)and Chris Morris (managerof the Horseshoe Bay ter-minal) met with the mayor,councilors and membersof the Transportation andFerry Advisory committees(BIMTAC and FAC).We toured the Snug Cove

Terminal, discussing prag-matic measures and strategicissues that could improvethe experience of BowenIslanders using the ferry ser-vice.The ferries representatives

immediately understood theneed to improve the designand facilities at the termi-nal, including reconfiguringthe area extending from thewashrooms down past thePlexiglas shelter.We learned that BC

Ferries has a standard heatedwaiting room complete withwashrooms that would beideal for installation there.They agreed that the side-

walk could be leveled mak-ing it more usable for stroll-ers and wheelchairs.BC Ferries has 47 termi-

nals. We are now waiting tofind out how high Snug Coveterminal is on their capitalplan upgrades list. The FACwill continue to push forimprovements. There will beplenty of consultation withthe community during thethree-year period the processwill take once it’s initiated.Issues such as moving thelight standards and levelingpavement might be dealtwith more quickly as mainte-nance items.We brought up scheduling

issues, especially relating tothe reduction in weekendmorning services, whichhave affected young familiesand shift workers particular-ly badly. BC Ferries is nowwaiting to receive our inputon desired changes and weare currently designing acommunity survey to cap-ture the views of ferry users.We expressed concern

about the likely rise in sealevels due to climate changeand heard that all work on

terminals now provides for aone-metre sea level rise.We asked about the

planned redevelopment ofthe Horseshoe Bay terminaland requested the chance tooffer input.The capital plan will be

drawn up during the nextfour years and we were reas-sured that there will be for-mal consultation of commu-nities affected via the FAC.BC Ferries plans to move

to an all-reservation systemfor major routes (Bowen isconsidered a minor route) toreduce the marshalling arearequired at Horseshoe Bay.This, along with the newerferries that can load entirelyfrom one level, may makeobsolete the upper layer ofthe terminal where Langdaletraffic marshalls, which cur-rently does not meet seismicsafety standards.One concern of BIMTAC

is that there is too little com-munication between BCFerries and other transpor-tation agencies, TransLinkin particular. We were heart-ened to hear that a meet-ing between the two is nowplanned. We urged greaterconsultation with MetroVancouver as well as WestVancouver.While discussing recent

service disruptions, Guenettereminded us that there is aBC Ferries Twitter feed (@bcferries) and that commut-ers can sign up for emailservice notifications (go tobcferries.com, click “ManageMy Account,” then sign inor create an account to sub-scribe to email notices).We asked BC Ferries to

consider greater use of watertaxis in general. Collinsemphasized that, contrary tocommon belief, BC Ferrieslikes and welcomes foot pas-sengers.He also noted that our

current ferry is licensed tocarry about 400 passengers.If the need arose, the ferrycould be certified to carryabout 600.Although the Cardena

Road drop-off area is beyondBC Ferries’ purview, Collinsoffered the assistance of theirengineering department tohelp us design a safer config-uration.Finally, an intriguing idea:

Could BC Ferries devise acustomer loyalty programto reward frequent users?The software is not yet ableto handle such a program,but we think that might be

They say nurturing friend-ships are integral to ouroverall health.I say seek out friendships

in places where you exercisetogether and the healthyupshot will be positivelysynergistic.For all the times you

think you don’t have time orenergy to exercise, or thatyou will do it later and thennot do it all, your workoutmates stand like beacons ofhappy exercise commitment.Bailing on yourself is, sadly,always an option. Bailing ona friend is not.I met my running mates

during a half-marathontraining clinic I offered in2008. We trained togetherfor four months, becamefast friends, and then rantogether for another fouryears, goal-setting togetheras we trained for various halfmarathons.We trained hard for these

events. You can’t fake 21kilometres. But, really, it wasless about the half marathonand more about the roadtrip, shopping, the pre-runyoga, and the nice dinnerout (complete with wine anddessert). It was mostly aboutthe laughing that came withall of this.

Sweating it out together

Sunday morning trainingwas our own kind of wor-ship, a date we worked hardto maintain for ourselves andfor each other. With runninggear adjusted, water bottlesfilled, we were out the doorand the conversation flowedinterrupted only by the Bow-en hills we love to hate.The mileage slipped by as

we sorted through the good,the bad, and the ugly of the

last week.We see the positive in each

other, something we can’talways find in ourselves. Wekeep the good stuff and tryto drop the ugly behind uslike mud off our sneakers.Blissfully exhausted, we windup our run with a stretchand tee-up for the followingSunday, knowing that if wedidn’t get our mid-week soloruns in, the next Sunday

would feel less like a socialevent and more like work.And then it’s not fun.Due to life’s complications,

our running dates havedwindled over the last fewyears, but our friendship hasnot. I am grateful for thisand dream of one day com-pleting another half-mara-thon where the main event isless about running and moreabout friendship.

but unless defibrillation isperformed quickly, survivalin unlikely.SCA is a medical emergen-

cy today, but it doesn’t haveto be fatal. For a few minutesbefore the heart stops com-pletely, it usually goes intoa rhythm called ventricularfibrillation (VF) a fluttering ofthe heart muscle. During VF,it is often possible to shockthe heart back into a normalrhythm with the AED.Through the pads ap-

plied to the chest, the AEDanalyzes the heart’s electricalactivity and determines if ashock will be effective. Hereis the most important piece:the window of opportunityfor using an AED is small.Defibrillation is more suc-cessful if performed withinfive minutes of the cardiacarrest. Studies show that thechances of survival decreaseseven to 10 per cent withevery minute that passes afterthe arrest.With a lot of homes on

Bowen being at least 10 ormore minutes from the Cove,unless you have an AED inyour neighborhood, yourchances of survival might bereduced.A new system in place is

linked with calling 9-1-1. Ifyou have an AED and youhave registered it with the BCPAD (public access defibril-lators) program (bcpadpro-gram.ca), when you call 9-1-1for an emergency, they candirect you to the closest AED.Venues with registered

AEDs will also receive courte-sy e-mail reminders whenAED pads and batteries needto be replaced.Imagine you are out with

a friend who collapses inSCA. By calling 9-1-1, gettingan AED, and starting CPR,you can double their chanceof survival. But how do youknow where the closest AEDis? You will if everyone whoowns one gets it registered.In summary, take a first aid

course. You can learn how tosave a life in as little as fourhours. Keep your eye onTheUndercurrent for upcominginformation of our very ownPAD program coming toBowen with help from theRotary Club.Maintain a healthy life-

style, and remember thatyou cannot make it worseby doing CPR and using anAED because the machinewon’t shock unless a shock isneeded.In the upcoming weeks we

will be giving information ofthe locations of AEDs on theisland so far, and where weplan for more, and how youcan get involved.

quality of life, the primary take-away fromVCHwasthat we needmore “active transportation” and suggestsimproved biking trails. O’Neil is not impressed. Sherefers to the statistics drawn from the survey producedon the island showing that we have some serioushealth-service needs beyond biking to work. O’Neilexplains that the society found “interesting” statistics.Sixty-five per cent of islanders go off island to see theirGP, which is leading to problems with expense andtime.Another issue she points out is that findings show

that when people rate health good to excellent, 83per cent with chronic conditions would still rate theirhealth good to excellent despite having a need for pri-mary care services. In addition, of the people needingprimary care with a doctor off island, half have delayedgetting health care because of travel involved, and halfof that group noted that the delay made their condi-tion worse.What’s more, 50 per cent of respondents said they

had difficulty accessing care they need, 41 per centsaid they felt health was at risk because of the lack of

services, and 23 per cent would consider moving offisland because of limited health care.O’Neil said 206 people wrote comments in the

survey saying that they have felt scared, worried andanxious. People filled out 95 pages of informationin detail. O’Neil feels that having a centre wherespecialists can provide weekly services for things likeosteoporosis, cardiac care and other supportive reha-bilitation services would greatly improve the chancesof locals being able to age in place.“We have no weekend care, no urgent care, limited

access to GPs, no doctor you can see in the evening.It’s hard to age in place, and people are reluctant to call9-1-1,” she says.O’Neil has put a lot of time and energy into getting

the information that she knows now almost by heart.She read all the comments and saw a common threadthroughout, which is why she is confident in what shehas to say and presented the information at aMondaymorningmeeting to the Committee of theWhole.Some other numbers from survey: 141 respondents

complained about time, expense and hassle; 63 percent feel a centre would help their health; and 93 per

cent would use a health centre.“We could greatly improve access to health care

here,” says O’Neil.She points out that there are other isolated commu-

nities who have found a solution to the same problemand their solution has been to create a collaborativehealth centre, which is different than a clinic. Sheexplains that the name of the group she represents isa misnomer, but that it would cost money to changethe name fromMedical Health Clinic Society to analternative.O’Neil says other small communities and islands

have community health centres where they work as anintegrated team. OnGabriola they “do this beautifullywhere specialists come once amonth to a facility.”The island doctors, along with Docs on the Bay

in Horseshoe Bay, who tend to a large percentage ofBowen Island residents, are all in conversation with theboard ofTheMedical Clinic Society of Bowen Island.Together they are looking for ways to improve healthcare and Bowen’s Dr. Sue Schloegle has partnered in alot of the work of the survey and is also amember ofthe board.
