RCH ER getting upgrade

Renovations to Royal Columbian Hospital’s beleaguered emergency department started this week and are expected to take two years to complete.

The $5-million project is an interim measure until the plans for redeveloping the facility get the go-ahead, according to Fraser Health.

Upgrades will be made to the emergency department’s triage area, mental health and substance use unit, and the trauma and isolation rooms.

“Once complete, the renovation projects will improve safety and infection control measures, create more space for trauma patients, and enhance the ED’s ability to meet standards of care,” said Fraser Health.

RCH’s emergency, which serves as the region’s trauma centre, has frequently been in the media spotlight because overcrowding has caused patient beds to be placed in hallways, and in one instance, in the coffee shop next door.

The renos will be done in phases so the department can maintain operations.

In April, the province gave the go-ahead to Fraser Health to develop a business case for a large redevelopment.

Westies in fatigues were conducting annual fitness testing with unloaded gunsGrant [email protected]

When Larry Church’s wife returned from her morning walk with a friend through Queen’s Park on Friday he was blown away by what she told him.

The women had been striding along when they saw two men in military fatigues and big rifles

with intense looks on their faces approaching them.

Soon they saw another. It freaked them out a bit. Was something horrible

happening in the park, they wondered.

They wanted to call police, but neither had a cellphone so they went to the main firehall kitty-corner to the park.

Officials there knew nothing about what was going on, so they called police and were told it was a regular occurrence and there was

nothing to worry about. But the friend had lived in New

West for 40 years and she’d never seen anything like it.

“I was gobsmacked when she told me the story,” said Church.

So he got on the phone and talked to a New Westminster police staff-sergeant who was receptive

to Church’s concerns but told him the activities fall under federal jurisdiction and they had been notified that morning.

“Where’s the communications here?” questioned an incredulous Church when he contacted the NewsLeader.

It turns out the Westminster Regiment, based a few blocks from Queen’s Park, was conducting annual fitness tests.

Includes letter from New West womanJanis WarrenBlack press

Prized possessions tucked away for 33 years by the family of Port Coquitlam hometown hero Terry Fox will be part of a new exhibit at Canada’s largest museum of history.

Last Wednesday, during a media conference at Library and Archives Canada in Burnaby — and during the first-ever Canada History Week — 16 objects that formed part of Fox’s epic Marathon of Hope were unveiled for the first time.

Among them:• a glass jar of

water dipped in the Atlantic Ocean in St. John’s, N.L., to mark the start of Fox’s cross-country journey on April 12, 1980;

• his Companion of the Order of Canada medal;

• children’s letters and cards that wish him well;

• two shirts he wore on the odyssey: one reading “Terry Fox Marathon of Hope D’Espoir,” the other “Marathon of Hope”;

• and a Team Canada jersey

presented to Fox in Ontario in July 1980 by Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Orr.

The items — along with thousands of others — will be on display in April 2015 at the future Canadian Museum of History, near Ottawa (formerly known as the Canadian Museum of Civilization) to coincide with the

35th anniversary of the Marathon of Hope.

As well, some of the artifacts will be part of a travelling exhibition as “it represents and belongs to Canadians coast to coast,” said Darrell Fox, Terry’s youngest brother who also ran on the Marathon of Hope.

Included in the national exhibit will be a letter

from Pauline Probyn, who was 12 when she penned a poem to Fox as part of a school project at Buckingham elementary in Burnaby.

On Thursday, Probyn told reporters she couldn’t remember writing the letter but was honoured her words will be part of the display.

“What his Marathon of Hope did was inspire people to pursue their dreams,” said Probyn, now a

New Westminster realtor.Darrell Fox gave special thanks

to Canadian Heritage Minister

James Moore (MP, Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam) for helping to preserve the artifacts.

Fox’s father, Rolly, said more than 150,000 items were forwarded to their home address in PoCo during the Marathon of Hope — much of which was safeguarded by the city and later transferred to the BC Sports Hall of Fame.

In March 2011, three months before Fox’s mother, Betty, died, Rolly said she was ready to “let go” of her son’s keepsakes and have them professionally archived.

Moore said the travelling exhibit will not only raise money for cancer research but will also collect cash to build a permanent Terry Fox Museum.

Terry Fox was an 18-year-old first-year kinesiology student at SFU and a member of the SFU junior varsity basketball team in 1977 when he was diagnosed with bone cancer that resulted in the amputation of his right leg six inches above the knee.

He began his Marathon of Hope on April 12, 1980 in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

When he was forced by a recurrence of cancer to stop his cross-Canada run at Thunder Bay, Ontario, on Sept. 1, 1980, he had completed a total of 5,373 km over 143 days, the equivalent of a marathon every day.

Since the Terry Fox Foundation started in his name, it has raised more than $600 million to fight cancer, a disease the claimed the one-legged runner at the age of 22.

[email protected]

When New Westminster’s Pauline Probyn was 12 she penned a poem to Terry Fox as part of a project at her elementary school. The Fox family said that during Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, they received about 150,000 such items at their Port Coquitlam home.

Commanding officer Lt.-Col. Doug Poitras said normally the regiment uses its Chilliwack facility, which has a large training area, to conduct its testing, but since its members are all part-time they can’t all make it. So if some still need to requalify they will do the testing—which requires carrying a 50-pound pack and

rifle over a 13-kilometre course with a time limit of two hours and 20 minutes—in the park.

While in some years a supplementary test in New West isn’t necessary to make sure everything’s up to date, this year about a dozen needed to be done to ensure they’re fit to face forest fires close to home or to battle overseas.

“Nobody was in any danger here at all. The weapons are not loaded, the soldiers do not have any ammunition,” said Poitras.

“I can understand people’s concerns about what might be going on. They did find out, didn’t they, and during that time they weren’t at any risk or concern. They could have even asked if they were close enough to the [soldiers] they saw. We talk.

If there is an emergency, there’s usually red and blue and lights flashing and sirens going, and that wasn’t happening.”

Poitras said although there wasn’t any risk to the public there might be a need for some education and for the regiment to provide signs to alert the public about what is going on.

NWPD investigation ‘waste of taxpayer money’City couldn’t turn a blind eye to marijuana dispensary: Mayor

Grant [email protected]

While a lawyer for a medical marijuana dispensary says New Westminster police wasted taxpayers money targeting his

clients the mayor says the city can’t turn a blind eye to activity that’s against the law.

Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the NICE (New Innovations in Cannabis Education) Dispensary, which was run out of a storefront on 12th Street, said police shouldn’t be using their limited resources on something the community and the country supports.

New Westminster police recommended charges against three people, including Justin Cleveland, after raiding the dispensary in May. A CBC report last week gave the details of a search warrant that was

obtained to proceed in the investigation following a tip to Crimestoppers in May 2012. The report said police conducted three undercover attempts before one was successful in revealing an alleged crime. The first two unsuccessful attempts, Tousaw said, were testament to the dispensary following proper procedures in providing cannabis to those with a medical

prescription.“Most Canadians

think police officers have better uses of their time with limited resources than completing a lengthy investigation with undercover officers to something that they announced publicly they were going to be doing,” said Tousaw.

He pointed out prior to opening its doors to customers, Cleveland went to the West End

Residents Association to tell them what the dispensary was up to and found no opposition. In addition, it received support from many residents glad to see a dispensary in their city instead of having to go to Vancouver where police do not go after such facilities, said Tousaw.

Mayor Wayne Wright, who is also chair of the city’s police board, said if the dispensaries are made legal “we’ll be the first to support it” but until then any illegal activity will be investigated.

“Anything that contravenes the law in the city of New Westminster we’re on it fairly quickly and to the letter of the law … and the reason we do that is so we don’t have any grey areas,” said Wright.

“We’re not turning a blind eye to anything because it leads to turning a blind eye to something else … For a lawyer to suggest we don’t uphold the law, I’m surprised.”

Wright said when Cleveland’s West Coast

Green Light Society approached the city about setting up shop in New West they were told to stay away until the law was changed, but they “blatantly went against” the advice.

“We didn’t want them,” said Wright.

Although the NWPD recommended the charges more than a month ago, following a May 23 raid in which “a significant quantity of marijuana and cash” was received according to police, the Crown has yet to decide to prosecute.

Tousaw said in making that decision usually the Crown looks at whether there’s a substantial likelihood of conviction and if it is in the public interest to pursue charges. In his opinion, neither is the case in this instance.

Conviction is unlikely, he said, because previous cases have been successfully challenged on constitutional grounds and because it also violates common law.


Mayor Wayne Wright We’re not turning a blind eye to anything be-cause it leads to turning a blind eye to some-thing else … For a lawyer to suggest we don’t uphold the law, I’m surprised.

Long standing practice has to be negotiated away says board chairGrant [email protected]

A former New Westminster school trustee says it doesn’t look right for the district to be paying part of the salary of its support staff union head while struggling to deal with deficit budgets.

Jim Goring, who missed out at being reelected on election night in November 2011 by 185 votes, said it’s time the board of education considered ceasing paying part of CUPE 409 president Marcel Marsolais’ salary.

“The optics are ugly,” said Goring. “You’ve got to look at everything [in discussing budget cuts], and the optics are not right.”

Before becoming union president Marsolais worked for the district as a carpenter. Board chair Michael Ewen said senior administration determined several years ago

it would be easier and cheaper for the district to pay part of the union boss’s salary in lieu of reimbursing him every time he had to take off work to deal with grievances, issues or bargaining.

The budgetary adjustment was made, claimed Ewen, without the knowledge of trustees. He said it was only

discovered three or four years ago when current secretary treasurer/associate superintendent Al Balanuik had responsibility for human resources. Ewen said he believed the amount was about $20,000 annually.

Efforts to get confirmation of that amount from Balanuik prior to deadline were not successful.

Ewen said since it was a long-standing practice, even though it isn’t part of the union agreement, the district received legal advice it couldn’t be changed without going to the bargaining table with the union.

Goring said Ewen’s long-standing-practices argument doesn’t hold water with him.

“Where’s that information? It’s standard smoke and mirrors that come out of that man’s mouth,” said Goring. “I’m sorry a lot of the CUPE members are losing their jobs but the question is what is appropriate in these circumstances.”

Marsolais said although he’s uncomfortable talking about the arrangement because it’s a personnel issue, the majority of his salary is paid for by the union. “The school district is bound by the agreement to cover costs of committee work, so that is fully [reimbursed] for loss of wages and benefits,” said Marsolais.

He said he is officially not a fulltime union officer, but gets paid for eight hours a day, although he often works about 12. He added as a district employee he is entitled to all benefits.

In a recent letter to the editor, parent Lisa Chao said Marsolais’ advocating for saving CUPE jobs from severe budget cuts “rang hollow” because the union doesn’t repay the district subsidy of his salary.

VICTORIA – There’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume.

The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations.

NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget. First there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties.

Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for

each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake.

Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the Auditor General, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one.

Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed

down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expensive.

The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-gold-silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators.

AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities.

The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up.

Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the

wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt.

What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion.

Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.”

The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

Get ready for Hydro rate hikes

New Westminster is proud to be home to the Royal Westminster Regiment.

Based at The Armouries, located next to city hall, at the corner of Sixth Street and Queens Avenue, the “Westies” have a long and storied history and are part of the Royal City’s fabric. This year they celebrate their 150th anniversary.

But local resident Larry Church is right to point out that there was a signficant communication problem last Friday when Westies were putting recruits through testing in Queen’s Park in full fatigues and carrying (albeit unloaded) rifles.

Church’s wife and her friend were out for a walk in the park and were caught off guard by two armed men in combat gear.

They’d never seen such a sight in Queen’s Park before, and to their knowledge, there was nothing to notify them to expect such a thing.

We know where we expect to see people in fatigues carrying weapons—at a Remembrance Day ceremony, say, or in TV footage of our troops in one of their peacekeeping or peace-making roles abroad. Or on a designated training ground, with fences and some kind of signage to explain what’s going on.

Even the nearest emergency personnel—the firefighters at No. 1 hall at McBride Boulevard and Sixth Avenue—were unaware of any military testing exercises going on.

Commanding officer Lt.-Col. Doug Poitras said the regiment sometimes needs to conduct testing in New West for members unable to get out to the Westies’ Chilliwack training facility.

He said that at no point was anyone in danger in Queen’s Park.

That, of course, isn’t the problem. There’s nothing wrong with Westies training in New West, as long as the expected safeguards are in place.

And residents need to be informed.

COMMENT

Re: City to streamline its purchasing process (NewsLeader, June 28)

Now that the City of New Westminster has cleaned up “open procurement” on 12th Street and driven solicitation underground, city staff are recommending using that same model to clean up “procurement” at City Hall.

Instead of parading business opportunities on the city website and soliciting bids to ensure best price, staff want more autonomy, with the loss of concomitant transparency, for buys between $15,000 and $75,000.

For that level of procurement they just want to obtain three quotes, presumably from a list of pre-qualified suppliers. Not only will this produce less transparency in procurement practices but also entrench existing suppliers and exclude new businesses.

If council approves the change, open and transparent solicitation is out, and backroom “preferred suppliers” tendering is in.

It is often the hallmark of long-entrenched political regimes to tire of the details their offices require that they oversee and to delegate their authority, inch by inch, to emboldened bureaucracies more than glad to increase their power and authority.

The trouble with codifying practices of bureaucratic power creep is that when a new, more vigorous regime takes office it is impossible to reassert their prerogatives as they have now been entrenched in the entitled bureaucracy. The legacy of that previous lazy regime is that the oversight power has been delegated away.

I caution council members that bureaucratic wishes for more autonomy, if granted, tend to erode checks and balances.

As for “single sourcing”—anathema to taxpayers’ best interests through an open bid process—one wonders how many $150,000+

tasks are sliced and diced to get under guidelines to avoid the scrutiny of higher-ups.

Politicians may come and go, but unchecked bureaucracies only grow.

It’s in taxpayers’ best interests to have city business solicitations done with maximum transparency so we can avoid Quebec-style cosy, and costly, municipality/supplier relationships.

It might also provide other efficiencies by reducing the necessity for Freedom of Information Act requests to shine light on potentially shady backroom deals.

I hope council will vote no for bureaucratic autonomy and yes for transparency and public accountability.

Re: Canada Day fireworks on the Fraser

I am so sad the fireworks are not being lit for the Hyack festival in May!

It is so unique to New West, not to mention a long standing tradition. On Canada Day you can see fireworks anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

Yes it’s nice to have our own fireworks on this day too, but we must consider the identity of New West as a city.

Where else can you see fireworks in May?

For generations, people have watched them rain or shine. When the weather is drab it brings people out.

phone number. The Burnaby New Westminster Newsleader apologizes for any

inconvenience caused to Caps Westwood Cycle and their customers.


She wrote, “why is Mr. Marsolais not offering to repay the money as per the agreement if it helps save CUPE jobs and support vulnerable children?”

Goring said most taxpayers would assume union employee salaries are paid through union dues.

To have the district pay part of the president’s salary and then have the union in turn contribute to the election campaigns of labour-backed candidates isn’t good optics either, said Goring.

(Campaign disclosures from the election show Ewen received $2,400 from CUPE BC and

$500 from local 409, while James Janzen got $3,400 from CUPE BC and $1,000 from 409, Phelan $1,900 from the provincial union and $1,000 from the district local, while vice chair Jonina Campbell declared $2,900 from CUPE BC and nothing from the local.)

The United Boulevard Extension (UBE), or some version of it, appears to be back on TransLink’s radar and New Westminster isn’t happy about it.

A city staff report to council Monday revealed the transportation authority is including three specific regional transit and road priorities in its five-year regional transportation strategy due Aug. 1, two of which involve New Westminster.

One was dealing with the aging Pattullo Bridge, but another was a “long-term

solution to address goods movement along the north shore of the Fraser River.” The corridor identified in the document, said the report, shows a dashed line on a map that looks an awful lot like the UBE component of the former North Fraser Perimeter Road. That project was abandoned in 2011 by TransLink after no UBE solution satisfying Sapperton residents and the city could be found.

The report noted city staff has told TransLink that any regional road and transit

priorities can’t be developed in isolation without the municipal stakeholders being involved.

The city formally asked TransLink to either remove the three priorities from the document or the references to the ‘UBE’ goods movement route.

“We’re pretty strong, and the community has been pretty strong and

explicit to say look, if they’re going to have changes it has to be of benefit to everyone in the region, and that includes us, and that it’s not going to be piecemeal,” said Mayor Wayne Wright in an interview.

Many men and women develop cataracts as they approach their golden years. While aging is the single biggest risk factor for cataracts, there are other factors that can contribute to cataracts, which can afflict people of all ages. According to the American Optometric Association, the following factors can contribute to the development of cataracts.

Alcohol consumption

Studies have shown that higher alcohol consumption can increase a person’s risk of developing cataracts.

DiAbetes mellitus

Persons with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cataracts than those who do not have diabetes.

meDicAtionsCertain medications

have been associated with the development of cataracts. Corticosteroids and chlorpromazine and other phenothiazine related medications have been linked to cataracts in the past.

nutrition

Men and women who do not eat a nutritious diet may increase their risk of developing cataracts. The AOA admits studies examining a link between nutrient deficiency and cataracts are inconclusive, but some studies suggest a link between formation of cataracts and low levels of antioxidants like vitamins C and E.

smoking

Smoking can increase a person’s risk for a host of ailments, including cataracts.

ultrAviolet rADiAtionPersons who aren’t

adequately protected when exposed to ultraviolet, or UV, radiation have a greater risk of developing cataracts.

When a person develops cataracts, surgery is the only effective treatment.

But that does not necessarily mean a doctor will suggest surgery right away.

Cataracts do not typically harm the eye, and delaying surgery does not mean you are less likely to regain your vision if and when you do opt for surgery.

Doctors will likely recommend surgery when cataracts begin to impact quality of life, such as making reading or driving more difficult.

Aging not always culprit behind cataracts

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, ischaemic heart disease, in which blood supply to the heart is reduced, is the leading cause of death in middle- and high-income countries and the fourth-leading cause of death in low-income countries.

Perhaps the most troubling fact about the prevalence of heart disease is that it can be largely preventable. The American Heart Association notes that there are several ways to easily improve heart health and avoid becoming one of the millions of people to succumb to heart disease.

EmbracE aErobic ExErcisEAerobic exercise is essential

to cardiovascular health. Daily aerobic exercise, which can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, can help men and women lower their blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight and lower their bad cholesterol, which can circulate in the blood and cause blockages that can lead to heart attack.

Low sodium, Low choLEstEroL

Adopt a low-sodium diet that’s also low in cholesterol. Diet can be a friend or foe with regards to heart disease. A heart-friendly diet that’s low in sodium and cholesterol can help you maintain healthy

cholesterol levels as well as a healthy blood pressure.

KEEp tabs

Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is a staple of many doctor visits, but men and women should monitor their blood pressure even when they aren’t visiting their physicians. High blood pressure does not always produce symptoms, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t potentially deadly. High blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke and can contribute to heart and kidney disease. So be sure to monitor your blood pressure and discuss with your physician ways to lower high blood pressure.

Improving heart health need not be difficult

I t is straining and stressful for adult children to provide comprehensive daily care to their elderly parents when one or both of their

parents are not able to look after themselves 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 an 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.

Want to see if you qualify?Are you:• Waking up tired and looking forward to going

back to bed?• Having trouble concentrating or staying

focused?• Feeling helpless or more emotional than

usual?• Not seeing friends regularly?• Short-fused?• Reacting with anger too easily?These can be quick indicators that you are

fatiguing both mentally and physically and that you could be at the end of your rope.

So what can you do about it? I’ve summarized a few tips for you that, if implemented, will guarantee you some effective relief.

reach out and accept support – this is difficult for people to do. In the caregiving example, support would come in the form of a compassionate caregiver who would provide much needed help in the home. In a more general sense, ask family members or good friends for

help. That’s when you know who your friends are. They help without hesitation. Alternately, connect with organizations/support groups who specialize in providing help.

take care of yourself – how many times have you read that exercise, balanced nutrition, and relaxation are the keys to feeling great. That’s because it works! Too many of us read this

info and then forget about it five minutes later because we’re too busy to act on it. You decide what’s more important – getting your life back and adding some exercise, or getting that 45 minutes of work done that would have waited until tomorrow.

have realistic expectations – be realistic about what you expect of yourself. You don’t always have to be Superman or Superwoman. In a family caregiving sense, this is where a lot of people get into trouble. An elderly parent may (unknowingly) lay on the guilt with comments about how the adult child “should” be providing the care. You have to be confident enough to say when enough is enough.

Seek first to understand – this is a phrase from Steven Covey’s great book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. We must take initiative and seek to understand the thought process and actions of others in order to relate to why they do things that aggravate us. This greatly helps reducing feelings of tension and resentment – and importantly, can lead to discussion about how to remove the aggravators. This kind of ‘understand first’ thinking is also contagious in a good way. Try it when you are talking to someone and see how powerful it is.

Retired professional athletes often speak about the difficult moment when they knew it was time to retire from professional competition. The transition can be easy for some but far more difficult for others. But aging amateur athletes know you need not be a professional to realize there comes a time when your body is telling you it’s time to ease up.

Athletes are used to pushing themselves and stretching their limits, but some limits are best not pushed. Such is the case with the limits posed by aging. While athletes don’t have to completely fold up shop and hang up their cleats, tennis shoes or other athletic equipment as they age, there are steps aging athletes can take to ensure they aren’t pushing their bodies too far as they grow older.

• Recognize your new recovery time. Veteran athletes tend to have a sixth sense about their bodies, knowing how long they need to recover from common ailments like ankle sprains, knee pain, back pain and shin splints. Despite the body’s remarkable ability for recovery, it’s not immune to aging, and that recovery time will increase as the body ages. Whereas a

sprained ankle might once have been as good as new after a few days or rest, aging athletes must recognize that the same ankle sprain now might require more recovery time. Returning too quickly from an injury can only make things worse for aging athletes, so don’t push yourself.

• Take more time to warm up. As the body ages, its response time to exercise increases. This means the body needs more time to prepare itself for cardiovascular and strength training exercises. Increase your warmup time as you age, gradually increasing the intensity of your warmup exercises until your body feels ready

for more strenuous exercise.

• Focus on flexibility. The more flexible you are, the more capable the body is of absorbing shock, including the shock that results from repetitive activities. But as the body ages, it becomes less flexible, which makes it less capable of successfully handling the repetitive movements common to exercise. Aging athletes should focus on their flexibility, stretching their muscles before and after a workout. In addition, activities such as yoga can work wonders on improving flexibility for young and aging athletes alike.

• Don’t stop strength training. Some aging athletes mistakenly feel they should stop strength training as they get older. No longer concerned about building muscle, aging athletes might feel as if they have nothing to gain by lifting weights and continuing to perform other muscle strengthening exercises. But the body gradually loses muscle mass as it ages, and that loss puts the joints under greater stress when aging athletes perform other exercises. That stress can put people at greater risk for arthritis, tendinitis and ligament sprains. While you no longer need to max out on the bench press or challenge yourself on the biceps curl, it is important to continue to make strength training a part of your fitness regimen as you age.

Aging athletes need not associate aging with ceasing athletic pursuits. But recognizing your limitations and the changes your body is going through is an important way to stay healthy.

Advice for aging athletes

There are some straightforward steps to take in order to stay active as you age, and prevent injury.

This year we are excited to announce that Juno award-winning country artist Stacey McKitrick will be performing at the Key West Ford Show & Shine.

The talented and high-energy singer has worked with producers for Hedley, Simple Plan, AC/DC, Shania Twain and Bryan Adams to name a few.

On her self-titled debut CD, Stacey said that she wanted “an album that shows a lot of range, vocally, musically and lyrically.”

“The songs are all different, going from real country to pop and rock-sounding material, but it sounds coherent. I believe in and love everything I’m singing

here. People see through stuff that isn’t real very fast. What they really want is who you genuinely are.”

Over the last two years, Stacey has been touring across Canada, honing her skills as a performer, including an amazing performance at the Canadian Country Music Awards.

Luckily she still has time to make a quick stop here at the Show & Shine performing on the Shops at New West Stage at Eighth and Columbia street. Local bands will also be featured on the entertainment stages this year too, including 2 Days and Counting, Bobby’s Cane and The Beladeans.

Chris Bryan/newsLeader fiLeThere will still be the hundreds of custom, classic, vintage and specialty cars people have come to expect at the Royal City Show & Shine, but this year there wlll be some added fun to the mix.

Show & Shine adds bicycle display and Electric Avenue to 2013 editionGrant [email protected]

The Key West Ford Show & Shine returns on Sunday, July 14 to offer car enthusiasts of every age an impressive display of custom, classic, vintage and speciality cars and trucks.

New Westminster’s Columbia Street will be closed to traffic, allowing tens of thousands of guests to interact with car experts, collectors, merchants and the community.

The event is free and runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and more than 350 cars, trucks and bikes are expected to be on display.

Kim Nicholl is hoping the inaugural vintage bicycle display she’s organizing for the Show & Shine on Sunday will be inspiring.

“My vision is people are going to come down and see the bikes and remember them from their youth, and then get them back on their bikes,” says Nicholl, co-owner of New West Cycle.

Nicholl is on the special events committee of the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area (BIA), which puts on the Show

& Shine, and they were looking for ways to expand to other areas of transportation.

So they’ve set aside an area in front of the police station at Columbia and Sixth streets for a bike display.

Her shop and Epik Bikes are co-sponsors with participation from Pink Bike and Toxik Design Lab as well.

“They’re going to see a selection of bicycles from antique, vintage, and more modern rides,” says Nicholl.

Some may recall riding adult bikes without gears to change and brakes that required slamming backward on the pedals to make it stop. Many had makeshift wicker or metal baskets clamped to the front or rat trap racks on the back, predecessors of today’s fancy panniers.

Nicholl notes there’s been a resurgence in interest in the old style bikes. New West Cycle sees plenty of them come through its doors as people, often inspired by watching shows like American Pickers and Canadian Pickers, show up with their grandparents’ or parents’ bicycles they’ve pulled out of a garage or basement looking for them to be restored.

Every year the Vancouver Cruisers vintage bike club treks out to check out the Show & Shine, and this time many

of them will become part of the show. Nicholl is allowing registration for the bicycle display right up until 3 p.m. on Sunday so those riders can participate. Anyone with a vintage bike can also pre-register by calling New West Cycle at 778-397-3971.

“I’m really excited. I think it’s a good blend,” says Nicholl of having bicycles be part of a classic car show. “I’m hoping it takes off.”

The Show & Shine is also adding an Electric Avenue, says BIA executive director Kendra Johnston. The City of New Westminster will demonstrate a mock charging station, and they’ve got participation from several organizations including the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association bringing its 1912 Detroit electric.

“It’s going to draw some different demographics out, and it’s going to showcase the many ways you can get around,” says Johnston of the 14th annual show including electric vehicles and vintage bicycles. “Yes, it’s a car show but you need to do something a little bit different to keep them coming back.”

The fun runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Downtown stretch of Columbia Street. Along with cars, motorcycles and bikes, there will be live entertainment and food trucks.

While at the Show & Shine it’s worth checking out the New West Artists (NWA) exhibition space.

An open tent at 612 Columbia St. will welcome you with a cool lemonade while you view their works.

NWA is an inclusive, non-profit society aiming to celebrate, encourage and stimulate visual artists through connection,

education and promotion. NWA has grown to 102

members since its creation in 2010 and these members have organized large art shows that have taken place at the River Market which include: Perfect Strangers (a portrait show of local residents), Art Squared (12-by-12-inch pictures for sale at $100), and Visual Verse (poems by local artists transformed into visual art).

Also, in partnership with the City of New West, NWA has also had artists’ images vinyl wrapped on electrical boxes and Big Belly solar recycling bins positioned throughout the city.

Be sure to check out their work and visit their website at www.newwestartists.com.

New West artists on display

You never know, there might be an appearance this Sunday of a 101-year-old electric car at the Royal City Show & Shine. Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association (VEVA) owns this 1912 Detroit Electric car which was manufactured by the Anderson Car company in Detroit. Steering is via a tiller bar operated by the right hand and speed is controlled by the left hand.

Come on down to Electric Avenue

This year at the Key West Ford Show & Shine has a new feature called Electric Avenue, an entire block dedicated to alternative fuel and transportation.

While the Show & Shine is all about classic cars, this is a great opportunity to rev up conversation about alternate fuels and modes of transportation. While a car’s design and aesthetics can be subjective, its negative contribution to the environment is very real. At electric avenue you’ll see representation from Modo Co-op the car sharing company, Fortis BC, the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association, and many others.

There will also be the City of New Westminster’s Nissan Leaf, a plug in all-electric car.

The Stage New West Photobooth

At the corner of Begbie and Columbia streets, Show & Shine spectators will have a chance to have their photo taken against a backdrop of classic cars at The Stage New Westminster’s photo booth. This year will be is first year of The Stage New West’s involvement with Show & Shine. Their creative team is made up of three talented women who offer year-long, semester, seasonal, and drop-in music, theatre, and movement programs for children of various ages and levels.

Kids Pit Stop This year a brand new kids’ area presented by

Your Dollar Store with More will be among the highlights. Be sure to stop by the Kids Pit Stop play area at Columbia and McKenzie street. Your Dollar Store with More will be featuring toys from their store as well as selling some items like silly string and bubbles to take for the road. A sectioned-off area up McKenzie Street will allow for more space so kids can jump rope and bubble-blow to their heart’s content. From mini soccer and hockey to scoop toss and hula hoops, there will be plenty of things to keep your kids having fun in the sun while you enjoy the gleaming cars, delicious snacks, and amazing entertainers on event day.

Grant GranGer/newsLeaderKim Nicholl of New West Cycle shows off her 1974 Raleigh, which will be part of the bicycle display outside the New Westminster Police station at Columbia and Sixth streets.

While you’re enjoying the vintage and classic cars at the Key West Ford Show & Shine, don’t miss the bicycles that will also be on display on Sixth and Columbia streets, sponsored by Epik Bikes and New West Cycle.

Epik Bikes have designed two different electric bicycles that run off a rechargeable battery and both look fantastic.

The ‘Whistler’ is a sleek mountain bike with a snow-white frame and bright red seat and tires that can go up to 32 km/h.

The ‘Banff’ features a retro design with fenders, a rear rack, and shiny chrome-plated front handlebars.

Also be sure to check out the display of high-performance Rousch Mustangs that will be on show, courtesy of Show & Shine title sponsor Key West Ford.

It’s fitting that these cars are named for a horse, because these ‘stangs are known for their huge horsepower and musclecar looks. Check out the whole

Key West Ford block party around Begbie

and Columbia streets, where there will be

food, music and a few surprises.

While there will be beautiful cars, amazing scenery, and a lively atmosphere, the crowd at the Show & Shine will be wanting some great food too.

Whether it’s kettle corn, perogies, beavertails, donuts, pizza, hot dogs, or just a good old-fashion beer garden, you’ll find them all at the Key West Ford Show & Shine.

Some highlights include the internationally famous Japadog—if you haven’t had one before you are missing out. There will also be traditional kettle corn from Canadian Kettle Korn Extreme, burgers from Triple O’s, Beavertails, and those hot, aromatic, melt-in-your-mouth mini donuts people know and love.

To wash that all down, there will be several beer gardens right on the street for you to sit and enjoy a cold one while taking it all in.

Popular food cart vendor Japadog will be at the Royal City Show & Shine on Sunday, along with everything from beavertails to mini donuts.

Lots to eat on Columbia Street Give your dog a little pampering at Bosley’s Pet Lounge

Did you know that dogs have an acute ability to sense the difference between a 1967 and a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 400?

Well my dog can, and a dog like that deserves only the best.

That’s why I’ll be taking him to Bosley’s Pet Lounge on the corner of Church and Columbia Street. There he will have a great place to relax and get some water and treats while I learn a few things from the professionals there. Bosley’s is the leading pet specialty retailer offering a full line of competitively priced nutritious, premium brand name pet foods, high quality accessories and supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish and other small animals. Come to the booth July 14 if you want to learn more about caring for your furry (or scaly) friend or just chat about pets in general. Maybe they will finally figure out why my dog is so naturally gifted.

— Michael Chang

River Market Beach Party The River Market is hosting a beach party at Hyack

Square for the Show & Shine, and some River Market all-stars will be there to serve treats for everyone. First up Tres Galli Gelato Cafe, whose silky smooth handcrafted gelato is sure to impress even the most discerning dessert snob. Next up is Crepe des Amis who will offer warm freshly made crepes. Finally, to wash that all down enjoy some tea from Great Wall Tea. They have an array of different flavours and you’ll also be able to purchase some to take home with you. Fun interactive beach games and live entertainment round out the party at Hyack Square.

As many seniors age, their ability to live independently is compromised. An older adult may suffer from a medical condition that makes it difficult or impossible for him or her to drive an automobile or manage day-to-day life independently. In such instances, many younger relatives opt to invite an aging parent or grandparent into their homes, a decision not to be taken lightly.

There are certain things to consider about your home as well as your finances before inviting an aging relative to move in.

Space in the home

When your household is taking on a new member, you will obviously need to find some space for that person. But if you’re currently at full capacity, then you will need to determine if the space you have is truly capable of handling an additional member of the

household. Seniors often value their privacy, so sharing a room is not an ideal option nor one that your relative is likely to embrace. If you determine you’ll need to remodel or add a new suite to your home, it’s important to know that such projects can be expensive.

People with lots of available space in their home may find their home is not ideal for seniors, either. For example, seniors whose physical condition is less than ideal might not be able to get up or down stairs easily and might find walking from room to room in a large house to be too physically taxing.

acceSS to medical FacilitieS

Many seniors need to visit medical facilities frequently. This makes the proximity of your home to doctors’ offices a significant factor to consider before inviting an aging relative

to move into your home. If your home is off the beaten path or in an area where access to medical care is sparse, then your loved one’s health may be compromised if he or she moves into your home. Discuss your loved one’s medical condition and history with them before extending an invitation.

perSonal FinanceS

The cost of in-home care for a parent is expensive, which is why many people care for their aging relatives on their own. This can still prove costly over the long haul. Taking on that role might impact income you sorely need, especially if you’re forced to scale back your workload so you can better care for an aging relative.

Inviting an aging relative to move into your home is a decision that requires careful consideration of a host of factors.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Never Too Old For Love: Revera Report on Romance Sets the Record Straight About Love As You Age

Love, romance and social activity in later life has important health, quality of

life benefits, says expert gerontologist

TORONTO, Canada, February 7, 2012 – Seniors are setting the record straight - love and romance aren’t just for the young, according to the Revera Report on Romance, a new survey by Revera Inc., Canada’s leading provider of seniors care and services. Seven-in-ten seniors over age 75 say you are never too old for love and the same amount agree love and romance remains an important aspect of their lives. What’s more, senior men are even more in love with love than women, with 83 per cent saying it’s important versus 56 per cent of women. “Seniors’ positive outlook on love and romance is encouraging to see because they are both important aspects of social interaction,” says Dr. Amy D’Aprix, gerontologist and expert on aging. “What many people don’t know, is remaining socially active can have a significant impact on your physical health, and may even help to reduce your risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also been shown to have a comparable impact on mortality as smoking and alcohol.” She continued, “And of course, there’s no question that it also contributes to happiness and emotional health.” It’s not just the experts who recognize the importance of socializing as we age — seniors themselves overwhelmingly support the concept. When surveyed, 88 per cent of seniors agree that companionship is something they couldn’t do without, and 98 per cent said they thought keeping socially active was as important to successfully aging as good physical health.

But Dave Vallee says he hopes to one day pass his business to his daughter, Kellie

W hen you can find a house for a dollar, it’s hard

to turn it down.So in 2009 when local

RE/MAX realtor Dave Vallee had a client looking at paying that sum for the 1913 Wadworth House in the 500-block of Sixth Avenue, he was intrigued.

Uptown Property Group wanted to build a new commercial building on the property, so was offering the run-down house with great bones for a song to someone with the wherewithal to move it.

Dave’s client did the due diligence, then opted to pass on it.

For a while, Dave and his then-fiance Pam Adamchuk had been seeking a house in Queen’s Park. They liked the look of Wadsworth and thought, could this be our future dream home?

At the time, a client of Dave’s just around the corner on a lovely block of St. Patrick’s Street was selling. Dave asked if they’d sell to him.

“I didn’t even know at the time whether I could get approval for the move,” Dave recalled late last month, chatting with me over breakfast

at The Boathouse.What followed were a lot

of meetings. Mostly with the city, to discuss a Heritage Revitalizaton Agreement, which

gave some flexibility with his renovation/restoration in return for promising the city the house would be preserved for

all time. And also meeting with with the residents’ association, to make sure they were comfortable with the project.

Many Royal City residents recall the night in May 2010 when Nickel Bros. moved the house from Sixth Avenue. It was quite a sight rolling past Tim Hortons and Starbucks on Sixth Street.

“That was amazing,” he says. Fortunately St. Patrick’s has

a 30-foot wide lane, but even still the house passed just inches from a neighbour’s garage before coming to rest at its new home.

Architect Eric Pattison, who specializes in New West heritage projects, helped with the design, which restored the exterior to its original look—”or replicated as best they could,” Dave says. The interior was updated, but retains many of the elements of the original look, including the staircase, some leaded-glass windows and antique lights.

Last year, the project won a Royal City Builders People’s Choice Award for exterior heritage restoration.

In all, it was a major undertaking financially and in time, but it was well worth it, Dave says.

“We’re staying for a while,” he said with a laugh.

‘Not many realtors completely retire’

Chris Bryan

Chris Bryan/newsLeaderRE/MAX realtor Dave Vallee says one of his favourite parts of the job is seeing the kinds of changes his clients have made to their homes over the years.

Despite the beautiful home, Dave spends most of his time out in the community selling other people’s places. It’s a job he started 22 years ago in New West—with now-defunct Realty World then with RE/MAX Advantage Realty in an industry that has seen many changes in technology and the market.

Dave recalls carrying a pager in the early

days, stopping by gas stations to call into the office.

Today, clients expect instant connectivity—

from cellphone and emails to texts. He’s never withouth his iPad or iPhone, even on holiday, unless he’s

out of country.“The pace has picked

up.”And today, there are

so many more ways to market a home—websites, photo tours, video tours…

“If you have a nice video, it’s like having an open house 24 hours a day,” Dave says.

Today, he leaves the social media marketing to his 22-year-old daughter Kellie who joined him in 2009 to work with buyers. (His other daughter, Carmen, is a nurse at Royal Columbian Hospital.) Kellie is one of two full-time realtors on his team, which also includes two administrative and marketing staff.

“Having a team is valuable to a client,” he says. “Instead of one, you have five people helping get your home sold and with my team you get a

team with 70 years of combined experience in residential real estate.”

If there’s advice he’d give a young realtor just starting out, it’s to get involved in the community, and give back. Be at open houses, knock on doors, network. Join Rotary or other service clubs, sponsor a sports team, take as many courses as you can on marketing, communications, negotiations, public speaking.

When asked about his plans for the future, Dave says he’ll “keep my nose to the grindstone at least for another five years.” His stepson, Erik Maas, an avid lacrosse player, will have graduated high school by then.

Then he’d like to hand over his real estate business to Kellie He’ll travel more, spend more time with family and do some of the many recreational activities he enjoys, like cycling, hiking, skiing and reading.

But he’ll stay involved in the community, he says, and no doubt pop into the office now and then.

“Not many realtors completely retire, actually,” he says with a laugh.

Get involved, give back, Vallee says⫸ from page a23

Poisonous gases roll through dense neighbourhoodsJeff NagelBlack Press

Authorities are playing down concern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic.

Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets.

Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. (Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline.)

But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed Metro neighbourhoods and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders if a train derails.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier

than air, so it doesn’t readily dissipate.

Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish.

Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, he said.

“We haven’t taken it lightly,” Garis said.

But he emphasized the rail industry’s safety record moving dangerous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlorine leak in Mississauga, Ontario forced the evacuation of 218,000 people.

That incident triggered major regulatory reforms, including beefed-up tanker cars for hazardous goods.

“The rail cars that carry commodities that pose risks are designed to roll over, they’re designed to crash into each other end-on-end, so even if they do derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,” Garis said.

“The track record in recent years is extremely positive.”

Garis also noted the volumes of such chemicals moving here are relatively small.

Unlike derailments in rugged slide-prone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly flat and trains move slowly so risks of an accident are reduced.

North Vancouver energy consultant John Hunter said Lac Megantic underscores the fact that pipelines are safer than rail transport of oil.

He said more should be done to

protect area residents from a chemical or hydrocarbon spill from a train along CN line on the North Shore, in close proximity to residents.

Hunter suggests a siren to warn residents to take emergency action.

“I think it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever have one, but I think we should have a notification system in case something goes wrong.”

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the Quebec disaster is a “wake-up call” on rail safety and for the federal government to ensure there’s adequate regulation and enforcement.

But she noted dangerous chemicals like propane and chlorine may be a greater threat when carried in heavy trucks on the roads with other traffic.

SPORTSThe New Westminster Salmonbellies’

playoff hopes took a hard hit with losses on back-to-back nights.

On Thursday, the defending Western Lacrosse Association champion Langley Thunder doubled up the ’Bellies 10-5 at Queen’s Park Arena. The next night at Bill Copeland Arena, the hometown Burnaby Lakers jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the second period before cruising to a 10-7 victory.

The losses left New West with a 4-8-1 record two-thirds of the way through the season heading into Friday night’s game in Burnaby. Their nine points tie them for fifth with Coquitlam, although the Adanacs have a game in hand, and leave them only one point ahead of last-place Nanaimo (4-8-0). The Salmonbellies and A’s also sit five points behind Burnaby (6-6-0) and Maple Ridge (6-6-0).

On Thursday, the Thunder struck first with two goals before New West tied it with a pair 41 seconds apart by Sean Robinson and Jordan McBride late in the first frame. In the second period, although they only held a 15-13 shot advantage Langley racked up five goals, including four on the power play, to just one for New West scored by McBride. The Thunder extended their lead to 10-3

in the third period before Kevin Crowley, who had assisted on the three previous New West goals, scored two late ones for the Salmonbellies. Ilija Gajic also had three assists.

Former Salmonbellie Athan Iannucci scored three times for Langley as did Dane Dobbie, recently traded to the

Thunder by the Coquitlam Adanacs. Both are former WLA scoring champions.

Goalie Nick Rose, also acquired in the trade deadline

deal, got the win making 33 saves while Neil Tyacke took the loss

stopping 27 of 37.On Friday, Crowley scored twice and

assisted on two others. Tom Johnson, Gajic, Jeff Cornwall, Keegan Bal and Robinson also scored for New West.

Salmonbellies minor and junior product Tyler Digby, playing in his first WLA season, scored twice and added an assist to lead Burnaby.

Burnaby honoured former player and coach Russ Heard, a New Westminster native who is now an assistant with the Salmonbellies, before the game.

The Salmonbellies’ next home game will be Thursday against the Victoria Shamrocks (8-4-0).

Henry into hall of fame

A New Westminster Salmonbellies squad that won three Mann Cups in five years is the 2013 team inductee into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

The Salmonbellies won the 1958, ’59 and ’62 Mann Cups winning 12 consecutive games. Fifteen players from those teams have already been inducted into the hall.

The 11 individual inductees include former junior and senior Salmonbellie Larry Henry in the veteran player category. In 1962 he had 115 points in three years for the junior team, and then in 11 seasons with the senior Salmonbellies he netted 313 goals and 294 assists.

He played in one Minto Cup series and four Mann Cups from 1965 to 1974.

Former Salmonbellies Doug Deshner will be inducted in the field lacrosse category. His accomplishments included helping Canada win a silver at the world championships in Australia.

The induction banquet will be held at the Firefighters Club in Burnaby on Nov. 9. More information is available at canadianlacrossehalloffame.org.

Salmonbellies suffer double defeats

Despite an 11-10 victory over in Coquitlam on Friday the New Westminster Salmonbellies were not able to catch the Adanacs for first place as the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season wrapped up on the weekend.

The Adanacs clinched first place with a 16-11 triumph over the Delta Islanders the next night to finish the season 17-4-0. The Salmonbellies completed their season with a 29-3 thrashing of the Burnaby Lakers on Sunday for a 16-5-0 record with one of their losses being a forfeit for using an ineligible player early in the season.

In Coquitlam, Josh Byrne picked up three goals and three assists to lead the Salmonbellies with Quenn Smith (2-3-5), Anthony Malcom (2-2-4), Jeremy Bosher (2-2-4) and Cody Nass also turning in strong performances (1-3-4).

In Burnaby, Byrne scored eight goals and assisted on four while Nass had four goals and eight assists.

The Salmonbellies head into the playoffs with three of the league’s top four scorers. Nass led the loop with 125 points (42-83) while Byrne was second with 112 (56-56) and Eli McLaughlin, acquired along with Nass from Delta at the trade deadline, finished fourth with 103 (60-43).

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.

Grandma and Grandpa, who better?

Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?

The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.

Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:

General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”

If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.
