Wait For Me Daddy to get stamped Canada Post chooses iconic photo to commemorate Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

Rachel Wallace caught this great shot of production on Columbia Street last weekend on the film Nautilus, a re-make of Godzilla. The Royal City was dressed up to look like San Francisco, including renaming Columbia to ‘Sansome’ and the intersection at Sixth looked like the terrible lizard had just stomped through, with crushed police cars and buses.

New Westminster’s $100K club grows Grows by 14 to 78 members according to SOFI report Grant Granger

Seventy-eight City of New Westminster employees were members of the $100K club in 2012. That’s an increase in membership of 14 from 2011, although it’s only 12 more than 2010. According to its annual Statement of Financial Information report, 201 of the city’s employees received total compensation of at least

$75,000. That’s four more than in 2011. They were topped by chief administrative officer Paul Daminato, who collected more than $203,000, including $4,600 in expenses in 2012. Daminato retired in January after working for the city for 31 years. He was replaced by chief planner Lisa Spitale, who took over the duties on June 1.

When Coun. Lorrie Williams was in Ottawa on Federation of Canadian Municipalities business last November she made a side trip. She had an appointment with Canada Post to pitch putting the iconic Second World War ‘Wait For Me Daddy’ photo shot in New Westminster on a stamp. Williams met the department head who makes the decisions on commemorative stamps and his artistic advisor, and told them about how the city was going to build a statue basically where the picture was taken at the foot of Eighth Street. She told them about all the celebrations that would be involved when it is unveiled Oct. 4, 2014, and she told them how important the picture was in symbolizing Canada’s war effort. She told them Whitey Bernard, the little boy in the photo—shown breaking free from his mother and stretching his arm out to his see ‘i’m GoinG’, a9

BC Parkway ‘second worst’ road in B.C. First time a bike path has made BCAA list Wanda Chow

wchow@newwestnewsleader.com

BC Parkway isn’t just a wellused cycling and pedestrian route through Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster, now it’s also the second-worst road in B.C. The path made the B.C. Automobile Association’s (BCAA) annual Top 10 Worst Roads list last week, coming behind only Westside Road in West Kelowna for the dubious distinction. It’s the first time a bike path has made the list, which is compiled through online nominations and votes. “The safety of all road users is one of our top priorities,” said Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice president of Road Assist, “and this gives British Columbians a way to voice their concerns about the roads.” Cousin noted that despite the “automobile” in its name, BCAA also provides assistance to cyclists and is a supporter of alternative modes of transportation. While potholes and crumbling pavement still make up the majority of survey respondents’ concerns about BC roads, 65 per cent, the proportion concerned about pedestrian and cyclist safety has gone up, from six per cent last year to 15 per cent this year, he said. There were more than 2,000

votes overall, with about 170 voting for BC Parkway compared to 264 for Westside Road. The bike path was on the list last year as well, but nowhere near the top 10. New Westminster resident Patrick Johnstone was one cyclist who encouraged people to vote for the bike path through his blog, http://nwimby.blogspot.ca. He said, half-jokingly, that he was disappointed BC Parkway didn’t get the No. 1 spot, having led the voting at one point, but was glad the result helps shine a light on how bicycling infrastructure isn’t maintained as well as that for motor vehicles. MarIO BarteL/neWsLeaDer “We tend to build it, cut The mix of pedestrians and cyclists can make the BC Parkway that runs along the the ribbon then not do any Expo SkyTrain line one of the most unsafe roadways in the province according to a survey by BCAA. maintenance on it,” Johnstone said.

50 per cent municipal cost sharing for work on municipal property, TransLink now has the funding in place to carry out these necessary upgrades,” said TransLink spokesperson, Jiana Ling, in an email. The improvements will include addressing safety concerns in dark areas under the SkyTrain guideway by realigning the route closer to the road and away from the bushes west of Nanaimo Station, and improving lighting in Vancouver, New Westminster and Surrey. “We will also provide a designated route for cyclists at Nanaimo and Patterson stations to mitigate conflicts with buses, motor vehicles and transit passengers,” Ling said. The work is going out to tender now and is expected to start this summer. Meanwhile, Johnstone hopes the second-worst placing highlights the lack of funding for the bike path. “The road that finished first, [Westside Road], is currently in the middle of a $19-million upgrade,” he said. “The one that finished third is the Massey Tunnel, we’re now going through a multi-million-dollar consultation process to figure out how we’re going to spend a billion dollars to fix that problem. “BC Parkway has not a penny right now dedicated to fixing it.” twitter.com/WandaChow

Pre-schoolers coughing, irritated eyes from Ewen Avenue road construction Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

About a month ago, Terryl Plotnikoff’s four-year-old son Will started coughing heavily. It was so bad he needed a puffer. The weird thing was, it was happening only during the week, not on weekends. Then he started to get irritated eyes. They’d turn red. Plotnikoff would be up all night with Will because he couldn’t sleep. The reason, she realized, was all the dust floating around his Queensborough pre-school, Merseyside Montessori, because of construction by city contractors working on Ewen Avenue west of Derwent Way. They’ve been there since about February, but with the weather drying up recently it’s become more of an issue. Exacerbating the problem is the arrival of two truck yards

When the kids start choking and gasping for air, “what are we to do?” wondered Meausette. “If we’ve got this for another period of time it’s going to be brutal.”

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Creature comforts

LAST WEEK:

A video posted to YouTube of a bear entering and exiting a pickup truck by unlatching the doors might be funny for human viewers safely ensconced in their concrete and glass condos, but encounters with wildlife in the city rarely end well. For the animals. It seems every spring there are sightings of bears in urban neighbourhoods ambling through backyards and down alleys tipping over garbage cans, pawing at bird feeders. Posters on light standards of missing cats and small dogs often signify a coyote is on the prowl, turning docile pets into easy prey. On Sunday, a deer somehow managed to wander through the busy streets of New Westminster for hours before conservation officers were finally notified. Sadly the otherwise healthy and robust deer didn’t survive the shot from a tranquilizer gun. Ungulates like deer don’t react well to tranquilizing drugs, said Dave Cox of the Conservation Officer Service, who observed the animal for one-and-a-half hours before felling it. The stress of dodging traffic, barking dogs and curious humans probably didn’t help. One of the great allures of living in British Columbia is the vast natural wilderness that begins right in our backyard. It’s easy to be at a grocery store in the morning and then having a picnic in the middle of a first or second growth forest, surrounded by mountains and trees for as far as the eye can see in the afternoon. Odds are there’s creatures amongst those trees. And sometimes they wander out of those woods and into our streets. At first blush it may seem an infringement on our space, but we have to remember their ancestors were here long before us. We’re encroaching on territories and behaviours bred into them for thousands of years. We need to respect their coexistence with us.

Expense cleanup must continue VICTORIA – As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark promised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced budget this year. Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C. Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cobweb-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses. Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inadequate management of the legislature gift shop and dining

room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year. Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either. I’m not suggesting there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable. A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was

forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber. Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then as a senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour. This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle. Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without

receipts. Cheers! You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it. Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Premier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers provide the same disclosure. B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occasional lump sum. As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others. It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

Still seeking quality, style

Another look At An ‘eyesore’ Re: Front Street Parkade, painting work and the Downtown New Westminster Parking Commission I’m not a fan of the idea of painting the columns on the parkade. The stark and bold architecture of the the Front Street Parkade embodies one of the latest concepts in modern design. Movies film continuously on Front Street—even when government tax breaks dissolve—because of the gritty “industrial look” that passes as a slice of Pittsburgh, Detroit, New York, San Franscisco, or, in the case of Godzilla (the feature film renting the street June 10- 18), Tokyo. Films like New Moon, I Robot, Shooter and Godzilla, do more than a coat of paint ever could to put New Westminster on the map. I asked Ken MacAlpine, location manager for the current shoot, if they would be filming on Front Street if all the columns were painted green. “Definitely not,” was his reply. To quote from Creative BC—formerly known as the B.C. Film Commission—“New Westminster is a film-friendly city with unique locations including heritage buildings, gritty street scenes and riverfront locations within a 10-block radius.” Every week, all summer long (when we are not inundated with big-budget or low-budget films) fashion models and wedding parties can be seen primping for photographs on Front Street. Why are they there? Beauty— as in the gorgeous view of the park and river—is enhanced by contrast with the “industrial

An excavator demolishes the 1926 Edward Riddell House at 221 Third Ave. in Queen’s Park last Friday.

sAd dAy indeed Re: A sad day for the city (Letters, NewsLeader, June 5) I agree it’s a very sad day in New West to see this 1926 Edward A. Riddell house torn down. So tear down a nice old home and build two new houses—sure that’s a plan. Well, we can thank the mayor for that. Just visit our oncequaint Downtown and Columbia Street. G.M. Danjou New Westminster

time for questions to be Asked I read with astonishment the letter “Sad day for the city” about the demolition of the Edward A. Riddell House at 221 Third Ave. in Queen’s Park. Who in this “city” in their right mind would allow such a unique heritage home to be demolished so two houses can be built on the property? It surely cannot be any planning official who lives in New Westminster and understands and takes pride in its history and beautiful heritage homes. (If planning was needed for such a thing and if it was not needed it certainly should be!) The previous letter addressed the fact that this is not a rundown home but a heritage gem with pristine gardens. Some questions need to be asked about how such a thing can be allowed to happen. Michele Pearce New Westminster look” of the mid-century modern parkade. Why kill a cash cow with a splash of paint? Take a clue from Hollywood. It’s time we woke up and started to appreciate the parkade. It’s one of the most interesting landmarks the City of New Westminster has to offer. Craig Ruttle New Westminster

Voice of reAson Re: Coté calls for toll system (NewsLeader, June 5) Thank you, New West Coun. Jonathan Coté, for being the voice of reason. I hope you are in politics for years to come and that you never lose your courage to say what needs to be said.

We absolutely need a regional road pricing system. This is the only way we can have a sustainable region in the future. For all the drivers out there, don’t you realize that betterfunded transit leaves more road space for you? Everyone needs to be on the hook for transportation improvement costs so it’s fair and equitable. Linda Belton New Westminster

Plotnikoff contacted city hall, and after some exchanges of phone calls and emails last Thursday the city sent a water truck out to spray down the unpaved road. Temporary signs lowering the speed limit to 30 km/h were also erected, although one city truck could be seen speeding along Ewen kicking up a bunch of dust Thursday afternoon. Even after the watering, it didn’t take long for the street to dry up and the dust to start kicking up again, although not at the levels of the previous days. Meausette was looking forward to the paving bringing an end to the inconvenience and safety issues. But when the trucks started rolling in every day he realized his hopes for long-term safety were going to be dashed. “I thought there was

going to be the end in sight, but then it kicked up a notch, or 10,” said Meausette. Roger Emanuels, city transportation and infrastructure manager, said the city has been doing a total reconstruction of Ewen in Port Royal, including building a path for pedestrians and cyclists. “We have been riding the contractor pretty hard to make sure he’s doing the right thing

down there,” said Emanuels. He admitted the setting up of a truckcontainer facility at 320 Ewen Ave., as well as the repair/parking facility nearby caught the city off guard. When construction began on Ewen the city was dealing with mud and potholes, and now it’s dust. “We’ve had some delays on the project. We’re about two months behind because we’ve had to deal with some work on the Metro Vancouver water main on the south side of the street so as not to damage it.” The troubles shouldn’t last much longer, said Emanuels, with curbs going down by June 18 and paving

beginning shortly afterward. Adding the trucks and the containers to the community has Meausette confused. When he set up shop in the area 12 years ago, he thought it was going to be residential with a bit of a commercial component, but somehow “it morphed into some sort of mishmash of residential and industrial.” “I’ve watched the neighbourhood develop sideways,” said Meausette. “There was no truck traffic. It was a nice, safe street. Even without a sidewalk we could still safely take children out for a walk. I used to take the children down to the beach, but I haven’t done that in probably seven years.”

Williams elected to FCM board Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

New Westminster Coun. Lorrie Williams has fought long and hard for a job she’s wanted for a few years even though it doesn’t pay her a penny. She finally got it last week when she was elected as a B.C. representative on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) board of directors. “It’s a very sought-after position and I was very pleased to get it,” said Williams. “I think I can bring a voice of New West

and B.C. to the table. I know the issues and pay attention.” She said she’s been on FCM committees before and believes it’s a powerful lobby group that is non-partisan and can work with any government. The biggest issue on the FCM radar, and it has been for a long time, is municipal infrastructure, said Williams. The need to improve aging road, sewer and other utilities is growing every year. As for how she hopes she’ll be able to help out

New Westminster, she said, “transportation and housing are probably going to come up pretty fast into the No. 1 position. Affordable housing is the biggest issue. The federal government has backed out of it.” She said it would be cheaper if the senior governments provided proper housing to keep homeless people off the streets because it would reduce the health and police costs, which Ottawa and the provinces spend a lot of money funding.

father as he marches down Eighth with a line of soldiers— was still alive and New Westminster had his permission to produce the statue. “He’s such a personable man, he’s really pleasant,” said Williams. “He would be delighted to be immortalized in bronze.” At Canada Post, they painstakingly told her about the process they would go through before they would make their decision. They wouldn’t tip their hand about whether it was yay or nay and after an hour,

Williams left the room unsure if her request would be granted. “It was a ‘don’t call us, we’ll call you’ type of thing,” said Williams, who has been eagerly anticipating their answer for more than six months. Last week she got it. A letter from Canada Post arrived at City Hall saying ‘Wait For Me Daddy’ would be one of 19 commemorative stamps in 2014. She’s already got big plans for when the stamp is issued. “I’m going to buy tons of sheets of them.” Williams also plans to pitch

the Canadian mint to get a coin struck to honour the photo. Although a commemorative coin would be OK, she’d prefer it be minted for circulation. Back in New West, a committee has chosen the statue’s artist, but Williams won’t say who it is until the contract is signed. She said two proposals really caught their attention. “Put it this way, if the [winning artist] said no and changed their mind I’d be quite happy to take the other. It’s very unusual, it’s a combination of modern and traditional, I think you’ll like it.”

Deer dies after hours-long walk through New West

Susan Greig spotted the deer as it passed near Herbert Spencer elementary on Sunday. It was later spotted near City Hall.

Greig said she spotted the deer around 3:30 in the afternoon as she and her husband were getting into their car to go to an appointment. “It was so beautiful,” said Greig, who saw the deer walking along Second Street at Sixth Avenue, near Herbert Spencer elementary. She said cars traveling along Sixth slowed and some even pulled over to avoid startling the animal. One woman got out of her vehicle and tried to encourage it away from the road. When a couple of leashed dogs out for a walk with their owners started barking, Greig said the deer bolted past her towards Eighth Avenue. But not before she was able to snap a quick photo. That was the last

she saw of it. Cox speculated the deer may have swum across the Fraser River from Surrey or Delta, where the animals thrive in woods along River Road. But he’s at a loss to explain how his office didn’t hear about it until it had already been wandering around the city for hours. Had the ministry been notified earlier, the outcome for the animal might have been better, said Cox. “If you see a wild animal in the city, just leave it alone,” said Cox. Following it, taking photos, even trying to feed it, “just heightens the situation.” Anyone spotting wildlife in urban areas is urged to call the Conservation Officer Service hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

A deer that had been on an hours-long ramble through New Westminster’s Queen’s Park and Glenbrooke North neighbourhoods Sunday didn’t survive a shot from a tranquilizer gun as it grazed on grass at the east end of the lawn in front of city hall. Ministry of the environment conservation officer Dave Cox said he and another officer responded to a call in the evening of a deer wandering near Royal Avenue. While initial reports indicated the deer might be injured, Cox said the animal looked healthy, if a little stressed and exhausted, as he and officers from the city’s police department observed it and kept it away from the thoroughfare, which was blocked between Fourth and Sixth streets. “Immediate safety of the public and to protect the deer was an issue,” said Cox, who’s based in Surrey. Cox was able to shoot the deer with a tranquilizer gun after about an hour and a half. The animal was removed for a medical examination but, said Cox, deer and other ungulates don’t react well to tranquilizing drugs and succumbed to “capture myopathy” a few hours later.

Reduce the risk of readmission These useful tips can help ensure you won’t be back in hospital

: My Dad is being discharged from hospital in the next couple of days. What are some ways in which I can help him prevent readmission?

Great question! In June 2012, the Canadian Institute for Health Information reported that more than 180,000 Canadians were readmitted to acute care in 2010. The reasons for readmission varied by patient group and the length of initial stay in hospital. To reduce the risk of readmission to hospital, follow these seven tips: 1. Know your medications and take them as prescribed. The most important thing patients can do to prevent readmission is to have a clear understanding of the medicines they need to take and to make sure they take them as prescribed.

Wendy Scott 4. Two sets of ears are better than one. Try to have a relative or friend with you to listen to your discharge instructions. 5. Get it in writing. Written instructions regarding your medications and any other treatment or follow-up exam information are great resources to carry with you. 6. Make the pharmacy a priority. Get your prescriptions filled as soon as possible after leaving the hospital, so there is no lapse in starting your new regimen. 7. Consider home care services, at least for the short

term, after discharge. Choosing the right post-hospital care can be essential to your smooth transition from hospital to home. A solid discharge plan is key to empower the client/family to make decisions and be resilient, to maximize his potential to live independently, or to enable him/her to tap on support and resources within the family or the community. Good communication between the discharge planning team, patient, and/or family is key.

2. Speak up about how you’re feeling before being discharged from the hospital. While some signs of possible readmission can be monitored (such as blood pressure), patients need to alert their doctors or other health care professional to things such as lightheadedness or trouble breathing before leaving.

3. Ask what’s expected after discharge and make proper follow-up appointments. Patients should know when and with whom to follow up with in the outpatient clinic or office. Follow-up appointments are important to adjust medications and therapy as the patient recovers. In addition, participating in recommended postdischarge programs will assist in reducing the risk of readmission.

Great step forward for heart patients New technique eliminates the need for open-heart surgery among the elderly, prolonging life and saving money for the medical system

ost 93-year-olds aren’t good candidates for the rigours of open-heart surgery. But when such an elderly patient was presented to Dr. Albert Chan and his surgical partner in the cardiology department at Royal Columbian Hospital, Dr. Daniel Wong, they weren’t prepared to let her go home to await death from the stenosis that prevented the aortic valve to her heart from opening and closing properly. Elderly, high-risk patients who might not be able to withstand major heart surgery are now able to get a new lease on life with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to replace a diseased valve using a long catheter tube inserted through an artery in the groin. Being the regional tertiary cardiac centre, Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) is the only hospital in the Fraser Health Region that does the procedure, treating about four patients a month. “It’s much faster Did you know? and easier for the patient,” says • RCH’s Cardiac Centre is among the best in Canada. Dr. Chan, who introduced the Show them your support procedure at RCH by purchasing a heart tile in January 2012. for the Cardiac Wall of “They recover much Gratitude. faster and there’s Visit rchcares.com less bleeding.” for more information. Developed about eight years ago and widely adopted by hospitals in Europe, use of the procedure in Canada is still largely limited to elderly patients who are at high risk for conventional surgery because it’s so new and the longterm durability is still being established. Dr. Chan says RCH monitors all its patients who’ve gone through the procedure to establish longterm results. It is hoped that the new valve will last as long as the surgical valve, if not longer. “In 10 years I expect the valve procedure will become a standard approach to treat degenerative aortic valve disease,” he says. That’s good news for prospective patients with aortic stenosis, half of whom would otherwise be expected to die within a year of developing symptoms. To save them, the team guides a six-millimetre catheter up through an artery to the patient’s heart from an incision in the patient’s groin. A new specially designed replacement valve that is attached to a flexible stainless steel mesh is then sent up the catheter where it is implanted over the

existing valve in a beating heart. It starts working right away, and the patient can usually go home a few days after the 90-minute procedure. This quick turnaround also eases the burden on the medical system, says Dr. Chan, adding, “When people recover faster, they can enjoy a better quality of life, lead more productive lives and the cost of hospitalization is markedly reduced.” While the procedure is also available at five hospitals around the province, Dr. Chan says being able to offer it to patients closer to their home, in the province’s busiest cardiac program, is another benefit to the patients. “For the elderly, traveling downtown is a big deal,” says Dr. Chan. “It’s better to have care closer to home, where everything is done under one roof.” That’s something his 93-year old patient was thankful for, as she was able to walk out of the hospital three days after undergoing the procedure with complete recovery of her heart and valve functions.

Syphilis rates in the Lower Mainland have spiked in the past year to the highest levels seen in decades. The highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, once thought nearly wiped out in B.C., is mainly being seen in men who have sexual contact with other men. Both the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions report their syphilis case numbers more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. Vancouver Coastal saw nearly 300 cases last year or 80 per cent of the B.C. total. Fraser reported 67 in 2012, up from 27 in both 2010 and 2011. “We’re concerned about the increasing numbers in Fraser even though it’s not as bad as in Vancouver Coastal,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer for the Fraser Health Authority. Some researchers have pointed to the advent of mobile phone apps for easily organizing anonymous gay sex hookups. Van Buynder said he’s not convinced that’s the cause of the increase, noting gay or bisexual men seeking casual encounters have always been adept in finding each other. He is concerned that some men involved shifted to oral rather than anal sex out of a belief it would reduce their risk of HIV infection. “There was some reduction in the HIV transmission but it actually does nothing to decrease your syphilis risk,” Van Buynder said. He said the disease is one of the “great mimickers” because its

symptoms can often be mistaken for bug bites or rashes, leading those infected to ignore it and spread the bacteria to others. “I’m concerned that our physicians may not have seen this for a period of time,” he said. About 80 per cent of new cases are among men who have sex with men – a category that includes both gay and bisexual men as well as other men who don’t identify themselves as such. Public health officials are urging men in the LBGT community to get tested for syphilis every three to six months and to practice safer sex. Other symptoms of syphilis include fever, swollen lymph glands and weight loss. Catching the disease early and treating it with antibiotics is far easier than suffering the untreated consequences – permanent blindness, hearing loss, deep bone pain, neurological problems and even death. Testing is available at youth clinics,

Salmonbellies fall flat What began promising to be a pretty good weekend, didn’t quite turn out that way for the New Westiminster Salmonbellies. Last Thursday at Queen’s Park Arena, they knocked off the Maple Ridge Burrards 10-8 with rookie Logan Schuss leading the way with three goals and three assists. Jordan McBride and Ilija Gajic were also big contributors with two goals and an assist each. Other New West goals were scored by Keegan Bal, Kevin Crowley and Tom Johnson. The victory gave them a 3-2 Western Lacrosse Association record. But being on the right side of .500 didn’t last long. On Saturday, the ’Bellies fell to the hometown Coquitlam Adanacs 8-7, even though the A’s headed into the game with just one win. The Salmonbellies didn’t seem to wake up until they trailed 8-4 heading into the third period. Johnson had two goals and three assists for New West with McBride equalling his two-goal, one-assist output from the night before. Gajic, Bal and Martin Cummings also scored for the ’Bellies. Schuss did not play in the game. New West’s Bubba Westwood received two game misconducts following a fight

he had with Coquitlam’s Travis Irving in the second period. On top of his fighting major, he was given a game misconduct for being the aggressor, and another game misconduct for peing penalized with a second major in the game. Then on Sunday in Maple Ridge, the Burrards exacted some revenge with a 17-15 victory to put the Salmonbellies at 3-4 on the season. Maple Ridge took charge late in the second period when they scored six consecutive goals, including three on the power play, to take a 15-11 lead heading into the final frame. The Burrards had a field day with the man-advantage scoring on nine of their 12 opportunities, while New West was two-for-four. Schuss, back in the Salmonbellies lineup, continued to wield a hot stick scoring six goals and adding two assists. Both Gajic and Bal notched a goal and five assists while McBride again had two goals and an assist. Reagan Harding added two of each while Sean Robinson had two goals and Jeff Cornwall, one. The losses left New West with a 3-4 record putting them in fifth place heading into their matchup with the Burnaby Lakers, who are on a three-game win streak after losing their first three games, at Queen’s Park Arena on Thursday (7:45 p.m.).

CARRIERS OF THE WEEK: ALICJA

Hello! My name is Alicja and I am a grade seven student at St. Helens. I have been delivering the NewsLeader newspaper for about 3 years and I enjoy it very much. I do my neighborhood route and it’s a great way to get to know my neighbors more and get a little exercise too! My hobbies include gymnastics, doing crafts, baking, watching movies and wrestling. I am going to high school this coming September and I can’t wait. I think that it will bring new opportunities and friends for me and I hope to get into the drama program. I also really enjoy dancing and acting!

If you are interested in becoming a carrier for the NewsLeader or would like to nominate a carrier please call 604.436.2472 Thank you to Panago (Kingsway & Arcola) for their kind sponsorship of the Carrier of the Week program.

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your longawaited 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.

on Hastings

A division of GG Hearing Alternative Inc.

3776 Hastings Street, Burnaby, BC

(1 block east of Boundary Road on south side of Hastings) Before heading out for that weekend, consider this: General Child Care A 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 threeyear-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.
