Keeping his promise to EvaIn a goodbye video to her many friendsand supporters around the world, EvaMarkvoort tells them, Its the end of mylife, but not the end of my love.

Eva, in a hospital bed, is surrounded byfamily, including her dad, Bill Markvoort.

Shes nestled into the crookof his arm. He looks at thecamera and says, Its notthe end of the story either.

Eva, weak and clearlyvery ill, musters the strengthto repeat him. She whis-pers, Its not the end of thestory and leans her headinto him. He kisses her onthe forehead.

It was four years ago this month that Eva

passed away from the disease she lived withfor all of her 25 years.

Before she died, Bill Markvoort says hemade a promise to carry on her fight by rais-ing funds and awareness about cystic fibrosis,the illness that may have damaged his daugh-ters body, but never her spirit.

Evas journey with CF and her bid to get alung transplant were the focus of an acclaimeddocumentary, called 65_RedRoses. Eva, whogrew up in NewWest, also hosted a blog andmade connections with people around theglobe fellow CF suffers, organ transplantsurvivors and others who were drawn to herwarmth, charisma and infectious energy.

The term 65 Roses is how young childrenoften pronounce cystic fibrosis, but Eva, beingEva, put her own flare on the name hence,the roses became red.

This year is a significant one for Bill andthe family, because he is turning 65. Billdecided this was the time to take part in theGearUp4CF fundraiser a 1,200-km ride fromVancouver to Banff. Hes calling his one-manteam 65for65Roses, in honour of Eva witha goal of raising $65,000.

For Bill, the hardest part of the fundraiserisnt getting on the bike for nine grinding days(June 21 to 29), its asking people for moneythats the challenge.

As tough as the ride is thats not whatscares me, its the fundraising. Im not a natu-ral fundraiser myself. For me to go to peopleand ask them for money is a very difficultthing. I dont like it. Im always so amazedwhen people say Oh yeah, well donate. Wewant to, Bill says.

ON MY BEATNIKI HOPE

Riding for their rose: Janet Brine, left, and her husband Bill Markvoort are fundraisingfor the GearUp4CF ride from Vancouver to Banff in memory of their daughter Eva.This month is a signicant one for the family. Evas birthday is March 31, and shepassed away four years ago on March 27.

POLITICOS ON THE ROAD

Making thePattullosales pitch

New Westminster politicianshave been out knocking on neigh-bours doors in an effort to buildsupport for the citys Pattullo Bridgeplan.

The city wants a new four-lanetolled crossing, and on Mondaynight Coun. Chuck Puchmayr madethe pitch to Port Coquitlam council.

Puchmayr told PoCo council thattolls are not only needed to financethe new bridge but as an essentialmeasure to discourage additionalcar trips over the span and also topromote public transit.

But PoCo Mayor Greg Moorequestioned New Westminstersbid to get support from individ-ual councils, suggesting the discus-sion should happen at the regionallevel with TransLink and MetroVancouver.

I would never go to anothercommunity to advocate on our pos-ition, he told the Tri-Cities NOW.I understand why theyre doing it,but its not normal.

Moore said TransLinks MayorsCouncil is currently working ona 10-year transit plan that dealswith the replacement of the PattulloBridge and with funding issues.

He also suggested that NewWestminster is part of a regionand every city has to take its fairshare of traffic, noting PoCo dealswith thousands of extra commuterscoming from Maple Ridge and PittMeadows.

Last week New WestminsterCoun. Bill Harper made a similarpitch to Burnabys council.

He received mixed commentsfrom those councillors, with somesuggesting that the Pattullo be torndown and not replaced.The promise Page 3

The promise: Fighting cystic brosis continued from page 1

(That) tells me the goodnessof people. People I dont knowvery well, younger people thatknew Eva, made donations.

This is Bills second timedoing the ride. He went out in2008, when Eva was alive. Shewas there in Banff at the finishline to cheer him on. Eva hadjust received a double lung trans-plant, and her health was stable.

The transplant worked won-derfully, he recalls. She camewith us on that last trip. Shemet us in Windermere. She wasa cheerleader for us. She cheer-leaded us into Banff. She paintedup all of the little kids facesthere. It was just such a delight tohave here there. She was so superexcited about it. Those are goodmemories to have.

At the time, Bill surpassed hisfundraising goal of $10,000, rais-ing $32,000, which shocked him.

Eva was Bill and Janet Brinesfirst child. Born in 1984, she wasabout a year old when Janetnoticed her daughter wasntthriving. She took her to a pedia-trician, who diagnosed her.

When they first looked up theillness in medical journals, theywere devastated by what theyread.

The news was horrible atthat time life expectancy was twoor three or four years old, Janetsays.

Later they learned that theaverage life expectancy was 24.But, as a kid, Eva did really,really well.

Still, her therapy and treat-ment took about two hours a day.The biggest time consumer wasphysiotherapy, Janet says.

We had to do a concussivephysiotherapy, so like a clappingon her lungs on her body on theoutside in various positions toloosen up the mucus, Janet says.

Cystic fibrosis is the mostcommon fatal genetic diseaseaffecting Canadian children andyoung adults, according to CF

Canada. There is no cure.It causes various effects on

the body, but mainly affects thedigestive system and lungs. Thedegree of cystic fibrosis involve-ment differs from person toperson. However, the persistenceand ongoing infection in thelungs, with destruction of lungsand loss of lung function, eventu-ally causes death in the majorityof people who have cystic fibro-sis, CF Canadas website states.

It is estimated that one inevery 3,600 children born inCanada has cystic fibrosis.

CF is genetic, and Janet andBill are both carriers. It takes twoof the genes to create the disease.Neither of them knew they hadthe gene before Eva was born,and after they discovered it, theythought they wouldnt have morechildren.

But a couple of years after Evawas born, doctors were able todo genetic analysis. The couplehad two more children Annieand Hunter, who are both in their20s now.

Evas treatment also involved

a complicated series of medica-tions some to be taken withfood, others without.

That was her life, but I liketo think it helped her live a fairlynormal life for a number of years.And then when she was 18, 19,she had a skiing accident andshe broke her pelvis, and so shecouldnt move for six weeks, andthat caused real problems withher lungs, and that was sort ofthe beginning of a downslide,Janet says.

A couple of years later herlungs were really damaged, andshe was suffering in the hospi-tal more than she was out. Shewas on the transplant list andafter waiting for seven or eightmonths, she received a lungtransplant. She recovered fromthat and had a couple of goodyears, but then her body startedto reject her new lungs andthat was pretty horrible, recallsJanet.

Four years have passed sinceEva died. When asked what shemisses the most about her daugh-ter, Janets voice trembles.

Thats a hard one, she says,then grows quiet for a moment.Im sorry. What do I miss? Imiss touching her.

She was a real talker. Shereally filled up our lives. She washappy and willing to talk aboutanything, she was always chat-tering off, and we just enjoyedthat so much.

Not having that has left ahuge hole in their lives, Janetsays, but Evas lessons, alongwith her light that shined evenin the darkest days of her illness,are still with them.

She taught me not to sweatthe small stuff. Thats how shesaffected people, not just me, butpeople around her not to getbogged down by small, pettythings in life that happen. Take astep back, look at the big pictureand just to make sure that youhave a purpose in your life,Janet says.

Brave heart:Eva Mar-kvoort ina publicityphoto for65_Red-Roses, adocumen-tary abouther lifeand battlewith cysticbrosis.Eva didthe bodypaintingherself.

Eva Markvoort started a LiveJournal blogunder the profile name 65_redroses in2006 as a way to connect with other peoplewith cystic fibrosis.

It was an important tool to communicatewith other cystic fibrosis patients, given thatthose with the disease are not allowed to benear each other because of the potential dan-gerous transferring of bacteria in the lungs.

They dont want people to be sharingbacteria because it can cause real problems.In order for her to get information, she wenton the Internet and developed this blog,at that time. She was reaching out to otherpeople out there, to know who else had gonethrough CF, who has gone through a trans-plant she made some connections there,says Janet Brine, Evas mom.

By sharing her thoughts and experiencesonline, Eva created a wide network of sup-port.

Since her passing, her family has takenover the blog and posts regular updates andstories of Evas legacy.

Three panels depicting the history andarchitecture of Woodlands School will beunveiled in the spring, but its too soon totell the individual stories of those involvedwith the institution.

A task force has been working on con-cepts for interpretive panels that will find ahome at the former Woodlands site. Threepanels called Architecture, Decision-mak-ing and FromAsylum to Community willbe unveiled in the spring at a ceremony atcity hall.

The Centre Block Tower task force,which reviewed the four interpretive panelsproposed, suggested the Individual Voicespanel be eliminated for the time being.

While the proposed Individual Voicespanel contained some important content,the task force felt it would be better to takea step back and wait before approvingcontent for that panel, said John Stark, thecitys senior social planner. He noted thatWoodlands still invokes bad memories forsome of the former residents of WoodlandsSchool.

To deal with something like this isemotional at the least, said Mayor WayneWright. The individuals you are talking to,they are still living. The things they havegone through

Stark said there may be an opportunityto revisit the Individual Voices panel infuture years, but the memories are too freshto be included in the panels at this time.

New Westminster city council previous-ly approved the use of up to $20,000 fromthe $600,000 contributionmade by the OnniGroup of Companies to the citys heritagefund for the creation of interpretive panels.

I think it was a very positive move for-ward, said Coun. Betty McIntosh. It willbe really good to see these panels and getthem into place.

New Westminster city council recentlyapproved the text that will be included onthe panels.

The panels, based on the revised text asendorsed by council, need to be reformat-ted. This will take about six to eight weeks,Stark said. After reformatting, therewill bean unveiling ceremony at a regular councilmeeting. This ceremony will involve taskforce members.

RichardMcDonald, a formerWoodlandsresident and a member of the task force,wants to ensure the panels tell the truestory of Woodlands.

Its a very good thing, he said aboutthe project. I dont want no fabrication onthem.

Woodlands: Some memories still too fresh

Not forgotten: Former Woodlands resident Richard McDonald, a member of the pan-els task force, gave a thumbs up during the 2011 demolition of the Centre BlockTower at Woodlands.

In the wake of the damning audit ofthe Portland Hotel Society, theres been afeeding frenzy condemning former dir-ectors and managers for their excess.

And there is certainlymuch to condemn, includingan almost complete lack ofaccountability and a fingers-in-the-cookie-jar approachto self-reward that is shocking in anorganization that exists significantly offpublic funding.

Questionable expenses included

$69,000 in high-end restaurant bills,trips to Hawaii and Disneyland, a cruisedown the Danube, spa treatments andbooze purchases. The society also seem-

ingly set up their books todefy any meaningful over-sight.

The scorn and outrage justi-fiably aimed at the society has

been palpable. Its not that there havenever been bigger fish guilty of worseoffences at the public trough. But as anorganization supposedly devoted to the

poor, this society was supposed to bebetter than that.

Instead, they came to see themselvesas entitled.

Their actions have resulted in a hugesense of betrayal.

While the sins of the wicked pierceour side, the sins of the righteous pierceour heart.

One of the saddest fallouts of thesorry affair is that it has given plenty ofammunition for those who would loveto cut public funding for similar endeav-

ours, regardless of the good they do.B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman

said criminal charges arent being con-sidered against society executives.

Thats too bad, because if this isnttechnically criminal, its certainly amoral crime.

It will have a real and negativeimpact on the most vulnerable peoplethe society was supposed to help per-haps for years to come. For that, thoseassociated with this sordid affair haveonly themselves to blame.

Time to strengthenhealth-care deal

We need renewed leader-ship on Medicare. B.C.is about to lose billionsof dollars in health-care funding.

Thats because on March 31,the 10-year-old national HealthAccord expires.

For the past decade, theHealth Accord set the level ofhealth care funding that Ottawaprovides the provinces and ter-ritories annually.

However, in late2011, a newly mintedmajority Conservativegovernment in Ottawaunilaterally announced it wasnot renewing the accord.

Funding-wise, federal healthcare transfers to the provincesand territories will be cut byroughly 10 per cent or $36 billionover the next 10 years.

For B.C., this means begin-ning on April 1, over a quarterbillion dollars will be slashedfrom federal health-care transfersto our province in 2014/15.

It gets worse. Over the next10 years, B.C. is projected to losenearly $5 billion in funding fromOttawa for health care, makingour province the confederationsbiggest loser when the currentaccord expires.

Per capita, British Columbianswill take the biggest hit in fed-eral health care transfers overthe next decade, when comparedto the rest of Canada.

This year alone, B.C.s cutin transfers totals more thanthe combined reductions toNewfoundland and Labrador,the three Maritime provinces, the

three Prairie provinces and thethree territories $255 millionfor B.C. versus $225 million forthe group of 10.

These extreme cuts will onlycontinue to undermine ouralready struggling public health-care system here in B.C.

In response to Prime MinisterHarpers agenda of health-carecuts, we need a strong push back

by provincial leaders,starting with B.C.spremier.

After all, it wasthrough the lead-

ership of another WesternCanadian premier that Medicarewas created across Canada in the1960s.

At that time, the federal andprovincial governments agreedto a 50-50 cost sharing arrange-ment. B.C. saw a massive invest-ment over the next 30 years innew hospitals, long-term carefacilities, community care andhome support.

However, by the mid-1990s,massive cuts to public spendingresulted in the federal govern-ment only footing 10 per cent ofhealth-care costs in Canada.

By 2000, provincial leader-ship once again was needed tosave Medicare. Fed up with thecuts, the Premiers forced then-Liberal Prime Minister JeanChretien to establish the HealthAccord to better support publichealth care.

The accord created fairerfederal funding formulas andrecommitted all provinces to the

Customers left unhappyDear Editor:

On a recent weekday afternoon, like many oth-ers I saw, I travelled to Sixth and Sixth to shop atSafeway. I was stunned to see it closed for renova-tions as I had shopped there just the day before.

There had been no comments from the staff andno signage inside or outside the store to advise cus-tomers the store would be closed the very next day.

One by one, many other customers arrived andone by one, they all unhappily left the parkade.

What kind of respectful service is this? Wouldntit have been better and rather effortless for some-one in Save-Ons marketing staff to have declaredthis in advance. Rumours had been circling forweeks months but no official communicationhad been offered.

I have to say I am already choked that Save-On

has effectively eliminated personal choice by remov-ing most other grocery outlets in New Westminster.

With yesterdays very inconvenient experience,I am now determined to go out of my way to notshop at Save-On. I wonder just how long this willbe possible.

increase in traffic jams on the Stewardson-Front-Brunette corridor, the McBride-10thcorridor, and the Royal-Sixth-Eighth corri-dors. A six-lane replacement bridge wouldsimply dump more traffic onto thesealready congested streets.

Look at a map and the topographyof our city. Several of these streets aresqueezed between the Fraser River, rail-road tracks, SkyTrain and steep embank-ments. Other streets border on four schoolsor pass through residential areas.

The East Columbia-Brunette connec-tion leading to Coquitlam is a massivebottleneck.

These streets were never meant to carrythe auto and truck traffic that now con-verges from all directions. The high cost ofwider roads bordering and cutting throughNew West, the resulting disruption to thecitys residents, and the increased noiseand pollution must all be factored into thefinal decision about the size and locationof a new bridge.

The best solution? Build a four-lanebridge starting near 130th Street in Surreyand connecting to Highway 1 throughindustrial land in Coquitlam.

According to TransLink, the estimat-ed additional cost of a Surrey-Coquitlambridge and a rehabilitated two or three-lane Pattullo as opposed to a six-lanePattullo replacement is about $500 mil-lion. Thats about the same cost as theprovincially financed, retractable roof atB.C. Place.

If a new crossing is so important for the

movement of goods regionally and acrossCanada, why wont the provincial and fed-eral governments step up to fully financethis vital link?

Its going to take several years beforewe get another bridge, no matter its sizeand location. Some of the Pattullos safetyissues must be addressed now. The moneyinvested need not be wasted. A fully reha-bilitated bridge would provide many yearsof useful service.

Mike Divine, New Westminster

Four-lane Pattullo worksDear Editor:

I agree with the citys position on thePattullo Bridge. If a four-lane bridgefrom Surrey to Coquitlam with a two-lane Pattullo Bridge is a non-starter forfinancial reasons, then I agree with a newPattullo four-lane bridge, with the moneysaved going towards better transit optionsfor Surrey.

The bridge needs repair, and it needs tobe safer thats the problem to be fixed.Anything bigger and not tolled will createproblems that New Westminster doesntneed.

However, in saying this, I also think aregional tolling system needs to be partof the solution. Since moving to NewWestminster approximately seven yearsago, I have seen a transformation to a morelivable city.

Increasing traffic and pollution in ourcity undermines the positive changes anddirection New Westminster has, and is,moving towards.

Canada Health Act, ensur-ing Medicare remainspublic and universallyaccessible.

When the accordexpires on March 31, thefederal share of health-carefunding will have nearlydoubled to 20 per cent.

But now that is allabout to change. Public

health care is facing its lat-est crisis brought on bya different federal govern-ment that refuses to sup-port Canadas most cher-ished social program.

Thats why its time fora new generation of pro-vincial leaders to make thecase for a new and betterhealth accord.

The clock is winding

down on the old HealthAccord. But theres stillplenty of time to renewour national commitmentto the values of a publicand accessible Medicaresystem.

THE RECORD LETTER: Lets stick to facts in coal debate March 25Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Andrew Murray: Thank you Mr. Fryer, what arelief to know coal dust and diesel particulate matter are not a health threat. Im surein a previous life you probably argued cigarettes dont cause cancer. I dont knowwhy we bother with independent scientic study by respected academics when wecan just turn for the truth to such brilliant spin doctors such as yourself who governthemselves by the highest moral and ethical standards.Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I James Crosty: Yes indeed Mr Fryer let every-one debate! You make some serious counter points and tell the editor to stick to thefacts, yet you provide no link or back-up to your stated facts. So if you really want adebate tell Port Metro Vancouver to open the latest study up for debate by our prov-incial health ofcers and the public. Its time for a Health Impact Assessment andthe same evaluation that residents south of our border have been fortunate to get.Why not call for this as well or is there a reason you would not support one?

McDonald said he looks forward to theday when the panels are unveiled for thepublic to see, as theyll provide legacy tothose who lived in Woodlands.

The Woodlands Centre Block wasdestroyed by fire in 2008, with only thetower left standing. While the city hadoriginally intended to retain the tower, itlater approved its demolition a moveencouraged by many former Woodlandsresidents and organizations seeking clos-ure for residents.

On Oct. 18, 2011, a demolition cere-mony took place at the Woodlands site.Following some emotional speeches byformer residents, demolition of the CentreBlock tower got underway to cheers fromthose gathered at the site.

McDonald, a member of the WeSurvivedWoodlands group and numerousadvocacy groups, had the honour of giv-ing the command to start the demolition

of the Centre Block tower.Julie Schueck, the citys heritage plan-

ner, said the panels will go up on the for-mer Centre Block site at Victoria Hill oncethe new development is completed.

The interpretative panels will be incor-porated into an area that includes benchesfor relaxation and reflection.

In terms of their exact location, thepanels will be placed at the front edge ofthe development site, on the south edge.The idea is that if you are standing read-ing the panels, you can look straight aheadto where the entry tower used to be,Schueck wrote in an email to The Record.The entry tower foundation will be out-lined in granite, flush with the ground,as part of the landscaping of the develop-ment. People will be able to walk up to seethe foundation outline.

IN THE COMMUNITYTop 5 Things To Do this weekend P16Fill in the Blanks with Andre St. Martin P20

So you really, really wantto get yourself out of thekitchen, but you cant swinga sitter for a fancy night out. Oryou just have a hankering to givethe kids a treat and take them outfor a meal.

Sounds like a good plan but where should you head?

As the parent of a 20-month-old, Ive found myself mullingthis one over frequently. Im notplanning to frequent any five-starplaces with my babbling littlebundle of energy any time soon,but we do like to eat out some-times. Which leaves me huntingfor friendly and interesting placesto eat that well all enjoy.

So, for all of you parents outthere, Ive been doing somehomework for you. Ive beenasking around seeking advicein my column, on Twitter, onFacebook and from friends,and researching the Kids NewWest Family Friendly BusinessDirectory at www.kidsnewwest.ca to come up with some optionsfor family-friendly dining in NewWest.

Here, for reference, are someof the criteria Ive considered: Space. Unless your munchkinis a more patient sort than mine,he or she isnt gonna sit still for awhole meal, so you want some-where with room to move. Friendly service and patience.It helps if the server likes kidsand treats them like customerstoo. Smiling and asking themhow theyre doing and whattheyd like goes a long way. (Notto mention being patient whenthe inevitable happens and foodgets spilled or a hungry childcries or yells.)Amenities like high chairs andchange tables. And, for the tini-est diners, its helpful if theresa quiet corner or comfy chairsomewhere for breast and/orbottle feeding. Kid-friendly meals that meansboth options that are friendly toa kids palate, and portions thatarent overwhelmingly huge,

preferably at not-too-big prices.With that in mind, in no par-

ticular order, here are a few ofmy top picks for family-friendlyplaces in New West: River Market:With the big,bright airy food hall and all sortsof dining choices, parents haveample opportunity to enjoy greatfood in a pleasant but casualatmosphere. River Market pro-vides high chairs and also has akids play and seating area withbooks and toys. Plus, there areoften special events check outwww.rivermarket.ca.

As an added bonus, a numberof the eateries do cater speciallyfor kids for instance, LongtailKitchen tweeted me to let meknow they have some kid-friendly items for the little folks,including kid-size Pad Thai (notspicy) and chicken satays withrice. Spud Shack: Located on theupper level at the Shops atNew West station, Spud Shackearns raves from the Twittercrowd. Jen Arbo gives themthe big thumbs-up for adaptingto parents requests with highchairs, kid portions and oodlesof patience. Although theresno kids menu per se, Jen let usknow that parents can just ask,and Dan will set you up withsomething for the small folks. Itsalso mentioned in the Kids NewWest Family Friendly BusinessDirectory. Coming Home Caf:Anotherpersonal favourite, which winsfor both its super-pleasant,homey service and delightfulfood which theyll personalizeif asked. Although its not big,theyve provided comfy furnitureand theres a high chair on handfor small diners, plus room topark strollers on the patio. Andthe atmosphere is casual enoughthat if you have a tiny dinerwhos not really into sitting stilland eating quietly, well, no onesgoing to give you dirty looks. Itsalso earned a listing in the FamilyFriendly Business directory.

If you happen to be in themood for a more adult settingbut cant get out to a bar, thereare a couple of winning family-friendly options in town: Heritage Grill: The HeritageGrill downtown earns itself aplace in the Family FriendlyBusiness directory. Besides pro-viding good food and a pleasant

environment in its downtownheritage building, its also a non-stop hive of activity its thehome base for all sorts of RoyalCity Literary Arts Society eventsand has masses of live musicoptions pretty much all the time. Dublin Castle: It feels like anIrish pub and has a great beerand pub food menu, but in fact,its a restaurant, and kids areallowed to come. This neighbour-hood favourite is particu-larly family-friendly innice weather, when youcan all enjoy the spaciousand pleasant patio.

Lets not overlooksome of the standby chainrestaurants too: The Old Spaghetti Factory:A family classic, this one hasearned itself a spot in the FamilyFriendly Business directoryand won the thumbs-up fromlocal folks on Twitter. RebeccaColeman put in her vote for thevery kid-friendly restaurant,which also won a vote fromCallyn Dorval, who said, I havefond memories as a child goingto the Old Spaghetti Factory andsitting in the trolley! Boston Pizza: Both theColumbia Square andQueensborough locations earned

themselves spots in the FamilyFriendly Business Directory.Boston Pizza New Wests write-up notes: We have a great menuwith lots of options for kids(healthy choices too!) Our din-ners come with a free kids drinkAND dessert! Our store has high-chairs and booster seats, a changetable, no-spill kids cups, kidsactivity packs, and a treasurechest to visit before you leave!

McDonalds:This one got thethumbs-up by emailfrom reader CarineMcEwen specific-ally the location atMcBride Boulevard

and Eighth Avenue.My daughter is six, so on

rainy days, I like to take her toMcDonalds on McBride becauseshe gets to play with other chil-dren in the playground structure,she eats well and mummy canwork on her computer or chatwith other moms there, Carinewrites.

The list could go on and on.Perusing the Kids New WestFamily Friendly Business direc-tory, youll also find a numberof coffeeshop options Blenz,Take Five andWaves amongthem. There are also your clas-

sic family restaurant and brunchstops, like The Pantry, De DutchPannekoek House andWhiteSpot. Theres Greek food Yiannis and Stefanos and theItalian-influenced fare at Ginosin Sapperton. For casual andoh-so-filling comfort food din-ners, theres Burger Heaven andCockney Kings Fish and Chips.

And, for slightly more adven-turous eating, theres Thai NewWest which is in the FamilyFriendly Business Directory andalso earned a plug from GyeIncognito on Twitter: greatfamily-friendly restaurant.Outstanding menu.

Also on Twitter, VandecaChoir voted for Taqueria PlayaTropicalMexican restaurant onSixth Street yummy, afford-able, and weve seen plenty offamilies!

s we go throughour dailyroutines, itdoesnt often

occur to us that we mightsuddenly fall ill and be unableto care for ourselves, orconsider the fact that we allpass away one day. Sadly, weknow it happens. Discussingyour legal affairs with anotary public before eitherscenarios occur is important.

No one likes to think aboutthe possibility of not beingable to make decisions forthemselves, but imagineif you couldnt, or if youcouldnt tell your lovedones what you want, saysMartin Kastelein, notarypublic in New Westminster.Protecting your assets andyour family is crucial.

By planning ahead andlegally documenting yourpreferences and instructionswith documents such asWills and Enduring Powerof Attorney, you and yourloved ones can rest assuredthat your wishes will becarried out. Martins officealso prepares personal andhealth care related documentssuch as Representation

Agreements and AdvanceDirectives.

Enduring Power of Attorney

(EPOA) for the living:

If you are no longer ableto look after your legalor financial affairs dueto a disability such as astroke, Alzheimers diseaseor accident, who will?Unfortunately the reality isthat no one not even aspouse is able to act on yourbehalf, unless he or she has anEPOA or alternatively obtainscourt-ordered authority.An EPOA can be a simple,inexpensive and stress-freesolution for many people.

You can only establish anEPOA if you are mentallycompetent, adds Martin.An EPOA can allow yourattorney to sell your home oryour share in your home, signyour income tax returns anddeal with most other legal andfinancial affairs.

The Will:

Wills are critical in thedistribution of assets,appointing an executor,and guardianship, therebyavoiding the necessity of acourt-appointed guardian.

Having a Will ensures yourwishes will be followed withless stress for your family andfriends, he says. Also makesure to keep your Will in asafe place, such as your safetydeposit box, and let yourexecutor know where it is.

Choosing Your Estate

Executor

If you dont have a Will,someone you might not havechosen could be in charge ofadministering your estate, aprocess which is similar to theduties of executors, Martinsays, adding that a notarypublic can also act as executorof a Will.

Your executor is responsiblefor administering and settlingyour estate a process thatcan take a year or longer.Along the way, your executorwill be responsible foreverything from cancelling ahealthcare card to managingall of your assets. Choosingone is a critical part ofpreparing your Will, saysMartin. Youll want tochoose someone who can takeon the job, remain impartial,deal with time constraints,and maintain good businesssense all at a time when

emotions can run high.For those called upon to bean executor, its importantto note that they can bepersonally liable for errorsthey make - another reason tochoose carefully.

As a notary public andmember of the Society ofNotaries Public of B.C., MartinKastelein carries professionalliability insurance. He canwalk you through the myriadof complexities of planningdecisions to ensure thatyour intentions are properlydocumented and legal.

In our work we spend alot of time with archivalresources, especiallyphotographs, in searchingfor particular information,studying and analyzing tosee what might be found,using them in projects andthen heading off to seekyet something else.

It is a never-ending pro-cess, but interesting andfrequently quite exciting.

Once, after a presenta-tion that looked at storiesand how they had beenlocated and developed,someone asked: Are therepieces of history, images,facts and collections thatstill exist in someonesstorage room or dresserdrawer that you hope tofind?

This question was alogical followup to ourcomments that we justknow that somebody musthave taken a photo ofthat. That material mustbe somewhere.

The following is aselection of these wishes.Maybe someone readingthis will remember thatinteresting item in the backof a desk and let us knowabout it. You never know.

S.B. Buchanan had alarge house in Sappertonand loved to decoratewith great scary effect forHalloween. We have beentold of a photo albumshowing many yearsworth of images of thosedecorations, but so far ithas not shown up lotsof word pictures but no

prints.Columbian College was

a large degree-grantinginstitution that was locatedfor years on First Streetbetween Third and Queensavenues. The story goesthat people close to theschool wanted an image toremember it by that wouldshow the overall site,grounds, buildings, inter-iors and a photo album (oralbums) was prepared.

There are photos ofthe college, but not thisset of prints and albums remembered by onecontact as creating quite astack on a table. Wonderwhere they might be?

How about photos offunerals and burial servi-ces? We have great viewsof the services for C.A.and Maude Welsh, ColonelDoherty, A. Wells Gray, theWilliams plot, the Sillitoeplot, but we know theremust be others.

Weve seen a few overthe years, while others wehave only have been toldabout. How about Georgeor Albert Pittendrigh, T.R.McInnes, William Irving,Brownie Peebles, CyrusPeck?

Irving House on RoyalAvenue is a highly regard-ed heritage home. Whilewe dont have a photo setor inventory from its firstmonths as a city posses-sion in 1950, at least fourknowledgeable individualshave indicated that sucha set of images was takenroom by room and hallby hall. Wonder if theystill exist? There was alsoapparently a photo clubshoot in the 1950s/60s.

And many years ago,we were shown a photo-graph from the fall of 1929with Winston Churchillattending a luncheon inthe Armouries. Wed loveto see it again.

All this is intriguing,isnt it? Can you help?
