Before the break of dawn thisChristmas, Karen Maloney lefther
bed, crept out of her darkenedhouse and drove to Royal
ColumbianHospital.
By the timefamilies aroundthe LowerMainland startedtearing
intopresents aroundtheir livingroomtrees, the vet-eran nurse
hadstepped onto thefloor of the neo-
natal intensive care unit (NICU) for whatcould be her last
Christmas shift.
She retires next month after 37 years,and shes lost count of how
manyChristmases shes spent caring for someof the hospitals most
vulnerable patients tiny babies born as many as 16 weekspremature
and poised for a time betweenlife and death.
They need a lot of help at the begin-ning, she says.
Despite that or maybe because of it Christmas in the NICU has
always beena magical time for Maloney.
Its not an easy thing for her to explain,even to young nurses
nervous aboutworking their first holiday shift.
Ive more or less said, Its just a veryspecial time and youll
understand whenyou get here.
Not that all neonatal nurses will get achance to escort a baby
through a snow-storm on Christmas Eve like Maloneydid early in her
career at Prince GeorgeRegional.
As part of the hospitals transportteam, she had been assigned to
helpreturn a baby via ambulance to its parentsin Smithers almost
400 kilometers away.
We were sailing along, and I felt likewe were on a sleigh,
Maloney says. Itwas a magic night. We got to SmithersHospital, the
parents were there and Isaid This is your gift from the
PrinceGeorge Regional Hospital. I handed themthis baby, and I just
sat down and startedcrying. It was beautiful.
On the other end of the spectrum,Maloney remembers a
particularly toughChristmas Day at RCH about 10 yearsago.
The unit was filled to capacity but thebabies kept coming.
They were all quite ill, and we werejust running around like
crazy just tryingto make sure that everyone had the bestcare
possible, Maloney says.
A Christmas potluck remaineduntouched and Maloney ended her
shiftcompletely spent.
When I got home, I was totallyexhausted, so I had nothing left
for my
husband and daughter, she says. Ilearned a lot from that.
Now she tells the younger nursesto plan their own holiday
celebrationsanother day if theyre scheduled to workthe Christmas
shift.
Whether the day is magic or may-hem, Christmas at the NICU isall
about family, according toMaloney, and that has taken the sting
outof absenting herself from her own familyall those years.
Youre leaving your home, but youregoing to your other home, she
says.
Christmas or not, the NICU is basi-cally an emergency room for
babies, andMaloneys team has to be ready for any-thing that comes
through the doors, butthe units tiny patients often stay betweensix
and nine months, so there are a lotof familiar faces when the
holidays rollaround.
Those bonds are especially close fornurses, like Maloney, who
sign up to carefor individual infants for the duration oftheir
stay.
Every time we come to work, wereassigned to that baby and
family, shesays. They really get to know us and weget to know their
baby and what theirbabys needs are.
It can be intimidating at first for newparents at Maloneys unit
to interact withtheir tiny, incubator-bound babies whosometimes
seem like more machine than
baby.So Maloney and her fellow NICU nurs-
es show parents how to lay firm, comfort-ing hands on their
newborns through theincubator portholes.
They encourage them to change dia-pers and spend time holding
their babiesskin-to-skin whenever possible.
Along with new technologies inthe NICU, such family-centred
carehas evolved dramatically during
Maloneys 37 years on the job.When she started, she remembers
older nurses talking about a time only afew years before when
even parents withuncomplicated births could only lookat their
newborns through nursery win-dows.
Its been a total change from thebeginning till now, she
says.
This more-human approach is

especially evident at Christmas.Staff breaks out special
Christmas
linen for the incubators, and thebabies are outfitted with
festivetoques and get tiny stuffies as gifts.
Parents are greeted with aChristmas photo of their newborn taken
by Maloney.
She began the tradition about 10years ago, taking pictures of
eachbaby in the unit and presenting themto parents in a special
card.
Sometimes those parents are miles
away in Vernon or Fort Nelson andcant make it to New West for
theholiday.
Theyre relying on us to make anice Christmas for their little
one,Maloney says, and they feel goodabout it because theyve gotten
toknow us.
Sometimes her reward comesyears later in the form of a
Christmascard with a photo of one of the unitsgraduates a man or
womanMaloney might once have held inher hands when he or she
weighed
just one pound and was strugglingto stay alive.
Theyve been dancing or havegraduated from university,
Maloneysays, describing photos that havearrived over the years.
Its rewarding work, she says, andnot something shes ready to
leavebehind completely.
Come February, shell be back atthe unit part time.
I do love my work, she said.Not everyone can say that.

Im learning about Christmas thisyear from an expert. Shes tiny
andblonde and has big blue eyes that arealways wide open, taking in
the magicof the world around her and a cutelittle mouth that cant
stop flapping withthe excitement of sharing that world inwords.
Shes not quite two-and-a-half yearsold, but shes gotthis
Christmasthing nailed.
When itcomes toChristmas spirit,my daughter hasa whole bunchof
lessons forthose of us whoare older and
supposedly wiser than her.Shes not racing frantically around
try-
ing to make Christmas magical. Because,you see, shes already
figured out thesimple truth: Christmas just is magical,and all we
have to do is let it happen.
She couldnt care less whether thehouse is clean, whether the
baking isdone, whether there are just-right pres-ents wrapped
just-so under the just-delightful tree. (Which is good, because
ifyou know anything about me youll knowthat she sure as heck didnt
get MarthaStewart for a mother.) Shes not worryingabout buying the
perfect outfit to wear tothe umpteenth holiday party or throwingthe
perfect shindig to impress co-workersand friends. Shes not bothered
what any-one else thinks of her state of readinessfor the holidays
or lack thereof.
Shes just taking in the world withwide-eyed wonder.
Look, Mommy, Christmas!I cant tell you how many times Ive
heard that refrain over the past fewweeks. Sometimes its in
response tosomething big, like the giant Christmastree at Herbert
Spencer School.
More often, though, its in response tosomething relatively
small. The snowmendecorations sitting on the shelf at the cof-fee
shop. The dancing Santa by the doorat daycare. The string of
coloured lightson the neighbours eaves that she can seefrom her
bedroom window. The JollyJs (thats candy canes, for those
unini-tiated in Charlottespeak) that adorn ahouse up the street.
The fir trees standingin a row at Home Depot. Even, on oneoccasion,
a small piece of discarded wrap-ping paper on the sidewalk.
And dont forget the music. Shespicked up on a couple of
Christmas carols ask her to sing Jingle Bells or Rudolphthe
Red-Nosed Reindeer, and shell give ita good shot. Shes not much
concernedwhether shes in tune, whether she hasthe words right or
whether youre enjoy-
ing what shes singing. Shes just beltingit out because, well,
its the thing to do,and she likes it, and singing is how youexpress
joy. That, and dancing put on atune, and shell spin her little
heart out inresponse.
Each tiny moment in her world isgreeted with the kind of
enthusiasmmost of us reserve for the so-called bigthings in life.
She has no idea what shessupposed to do for the holidays shesjust
experiencing everything around herwith the same zest she brings to
life year-round.
She expects nothing. And, as a conse-quence, she enjoys
everything.
Sure, weve given her some Christmasexperiences. Weve gone for a
little nightlights display tour (which is to say, wewalked a few of
our favourite blocks inour neighbourhood, where many of
thehomeowners decorate for the holidays).We went to New Wests Santa
ClausParade and checked out the fun at River
Market and the Anvil Centre. And, mostmemorably of all for my
wide-eyed child,we rode the Christmas train at StanleyPark and took
in the Bright Nights experi-ence.
Every single one of those things hasbeen worth it for the wonder
in her eyesand the joy in her babble afterwards asshe recounts her
experiences to Mommyand Daddy.
But you know what she talks aboutmost? Not seeing the parade so
much asthe fact that she went downtown withher little BFF. And the
Christmas train?Yeah, that was great. But what was morefun was
going to see her auntie anduncle afterwards and play with her
big-girl friend.
It hasnt occurred to her to think aboutstuff.
Shes received a couple of Christmaspresents so far, and shes
happily latchedon to one of them a little stuffed rein-deer. She
loves it with the same dogged
devotion she gives to a rather eclecticassortment of treasured
possessions,including a little pink plastic ring thatonce adorned a
birthday cupcake, and theLittle People family known in our houseas
Plastic Mommy, Plastic Daddyand Plastic Charlotte.
But she doesnt have any clue thatChristmas is meant to involve
filling yourhouse with fancy presents wrapped infancy paper.
Shes not going to get a lot fromher parents for Christmas
(although,undoubtedly, her rather doting grandpar-ents will make up
for it). But she wontfeel the lack of anything.
She has no inkling of the desire for big-ger. Better. Brighter.
Shinier. More.
She just loves her toys and her homeand her room and her family
and herfriends and her life with a fiercenessthat all of us should
strive to emulate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
So if the holidaysare stressing you out,heres my advice:
enjoyChristmas like a two-year-old: with wide eyes and asense of
wonder.
Spend time with peopleyou care about. Walkaround your
neighbour-hood and look at thelights. Curl up with abook in your
living roomand admire your own
Christmas tree especiallyif its not quite stand-ing straight and
if itsdecorated with an eclecticassortment of
not-pretty-but-special-to-your-familydecorations.
Above all, take time outof whatever it is youredoing to just
enjoy it.Forget the house. Forgetthe shopping. Forget thepresents.
Forget the hul-labaloo.
Just sing. And dance.And enjoy. And be.
Just for a little while,let yourself experience theworld like a
two-year-old.Trust me, its a lot morefun than trying to be
thisseasons answer to MarthaStewart.
Julie MacLellan is themother of a toddler andthe assistant
editor of TheRecord and Burnaby NOWnewspapers.

ONLINE COMMENTS
THE RECORD STORY: Improved pedestrian access needed
alongBrunette Dec. 17Facebook I Dave Lundy: My heart goes out to
the family, friends and co workers of thewoman killed last night
trying to cross Brunette Avenue. But heres a simple fact about that
particular stretch of road and that area. From E. Colum-bia to
Braid Street.. there are exactly 2 pedestrian crossings on
Brunette. The 2 pedestriancrossings are at each end of the stretch
of Brunette that runs from East Columbia to BraidSt. Approximately
1 kilometer apart. For those who dont know the area, on the
southside of Brunette from Braid St to E. Columbia is all
industrial park and businesses. Ware-houses, manufacturing,
trucking companies etc. On the south side of Brunette there is
nopedestrian amenities from E. Columbia to just before the
Burlington Northern Rail ofces.And its a heavily used road
connecting Hwy 1 to New West, Burnaby, East Richmond etc.Theres
been numerous pedestrians struck along this road, people either
going to orcoming from work on the southside of Brunette, trying to
gauge heavy trafc. The onlypedestrian crossing to the southside of
Brunette between E. Columbia and Braid is theSkyTrain pedestrian
overpass. That only accesses the station. One of 2 things needs
tohappen to prevent this from happening again.1. Improve
pedestrians ability to access the business park and safely cross
Brunetteby building a pedestrian sidewalk at East Columbia down
Brunette that accesses thebusiness park, on the southside.
Currently after you come onto Brunette from ColumbiaStreet, theres
a vehicle pullout then bushes and thorns before the drop down for
cars toaccess Braid Street Industrial Park. As well, consult with
TransLink about jointly improvingthe footbridge at the SkyTrain
station to allow pedestrians to access it when wanting tocross
Brunette. Why this wasnt ever done when the station was initially
built is com-pletely mind boggling.2. Build a pedestrian barrier
similiar to the one along King George Blvd in the stretch fromKing
George Station to 102 I believe. Sometimes you do have to protect
people fromthemselves.In the past, whenever there has been a
fatality involving a truck, people use that to reallywhip it up
about how bad trucks are, bladdy blah. Im hoping that rather than
blame thedriver (who may have not known what happened, and will
have to live with this for therest of their lives), that people
take the time to realize that this is an inherently
dangeroussituation for pedestrians and needs to be xed. Being NIMBY
about it and doing nothingisnt an option. And neither is impeding
the trafc (cars, trucks and otherwise) that travelthis portion of
the road. Pedestrian amenities can be built and added to that dont
result inadditional congestion and trafc snarls.

A New Westminster woman suf-fered minor injuries after she was
hitby a car Thursday evening.
The 48-year-old woman was cross-ing the street in the 500 block
ofEighth Avenue around 4:40 p.m.when an oncoming vehicle struck
her,Sgt. Chad Johnston, spokesperson forthe New Westminster police,
told TheRecord.
At the time of the crash, thewomanwasnt in a marked
crosswalk.
Thewoman,who is in awheelchair,was taken to hospital and treated
fora few scrapes to her face and sorenessthroughout her body.
Otherwise shewas relatively unscathed in the crash,Johnston
added.
Witnesses allege the driver of thevehicle involved possibly in a
greyToyota-style vehicle fled the scenebefore emergency personnel
arrived,Johnston said.
(Const. Brittany Ribeiro) is stillinterviewing a few witnesses
at thispoint so its still an ongoing investiga-tion. Obviously,
with the hit and run,were going to be trying to seek morewitnesses
and track downmore detailwith regards to a potential plate andthat
sort of thing, Johnston said.
Anyone with information onthe crash is asked to contact
Const.Ribeiro at 604-525-5411.

chose to take the just turned 20-year-old off life support.
Three days ear-lier he was beaten by a 16-year-oldNew West teen
(whose name will notbe released) near the 22nd SkyTrainStation.
The teen was arrested and chargedwith second-degree murder
shortlyafter the incident. Since then, Karimsmother, friends and
family have beenfollowing the case through the courtsto see that
justice is served, Meskinesaid.
Its for our family, first of all, toremember, she said of the
large,waterproof photo that was posted tothe telephone pole during
the vigilSaturday night. I like, in a way, toleave it there so that
neighbours thatdidnt actually step out to do some-thing, can
remember he could havebeen saved if someone actually did.That could
be your loved one, that
could be yourself.Meskine said she hopes the trial
will draw attention to her son andwhat happened to him, rather
thanthe teen charged with his murder. Itsabout a need for public
safety, sheadded.
If we dont help each other thenwhere is the world going? She
said.Thats my main thing.
The teen accused of killing Karimwas in court on Dec. 4 to set a
datefor his trial but the scheduling waspostponed. He will be back
in courton Jan. 15 to fix the date.
Because the accused is a youngoffender, Meskine is worried he
wontreceive themaximum sentence, whichshe believes he deserves.
I hope the public opinion will putpressure and help with that
matter. Ifyoure somebody responsible for thatkind of crime you
should have themaximum, and thats what I hope the
public will step up and put pressure,she said.
Friends and family gathered at thevigil echoed Meskines concerns
andpledged that they too will see the trialthrough to the end.
Karim was attacked on his way tothe 22nd Street SkyTrain Station
onDec. 17, 2013. He was found badlyinjured by a passerby who
called911. A suspect was arrested almostright away, and charged
with sec-ond-degree murder when Karim wastaken off of life-support.
At the time,investigators with the IntegratedHomicide Investigation
Team did notrelease any information on motive.The accused remains
in custody atthis time.
In the meantime, Meskine is keep-ing her sons memory alive.
Eventslike Saturdays vigil are part of thejourney, she said, before
kissingKarims photo.

Where do plugged-in locals like toeat, drink and be merry? In
hon-our of the holiday season, repor-ter Niki Hope checked in with
some folksfrom around New Westminster to findout about their
favourite spots. Hereswhat she found out:
JJ LeeNew Westminster award-winning
author and CBC contributor JJ Lee sharessome of his favourite
local stops.
Eat: Oh, gee, thats Annys (DairyBar). Im fromMontreal; itsthe
most authen-tic poutine Ican find inVancouver. She(owner
AnnyFaucher) makesme feel at home.She talks to mein French. If
there is hockey, the TV is on. She makes agood steamy (hotdog).
We despair whenshe closes down in the winter (usually themonth of
January).
Drink: Im not a drinker. But if I wereto speak to coffee, then
the gelato place(Tre Galli Gelato Caffe) at River Market isthe most
satisfying.
Be Merry:Merry, for me duringChristmas, means family and
commun-ity. The season cant begin unless I dothree things. Theres
decorating the treeat home.
Then I have to help the wonderfulpeople of Queens Avenue Daycare
Centre where I spent seven years on its boardof directors decorate
the stage for theannual Christmas concert. The set isthe cutest.
Fireplaces, sleighs, and snowpeople made out of stuffed paper
bagsand used cardboard. Its all gossamerand tinsel thats simply
magic when theroom lights go down and the spots go up.Its performed
by wee toddlers and pre-schoolers and is a hoot.
Finally, I have to write a Christmasghost story, like The Last
Train, which Ithen turn into a chapbook. I sell those atthe first
December Winter Market at theRiver Market. I just love doing
it.
Then I really know, its time for aMerry Christmas. All of it
puts me in thebest mood, way more than shopping orwrapping
presents. And I certainly dontneed anything under the tree, but I
doneed to do those three things.
Susan Cartwright-CoatesThe owner of Cartwright Jewelers
in uptown NewWestminster, whohas raised more than$120,000 over
15years for the CKNWOrphans Fundthrough an annualChristmas
fundraiser,shares what makes herholidays bright.
Eat:We (with hus-band Brian) enjoy eachothers company athome
with a home-cooked meal, and
when we eat its very important to us thatwe sit at the dinner
table, the two of us,
thats our time together.Drink: If we were going to have a
cocktail, we would go to the RiversReach. Its a bit of our
community wat-ering hole. Its the Cheers of New West you always
know somebody when youwalk in.
Be merry: Thats absolutely with mygrandchildren. I have two and
anotherone on the way. So every 18 months,she (daughter Chelsea) is
having a baby(Cartwright-Coates laughs). Josh will bethree in
January, Jessa will be 18 monthsin January, and the new baby is due
Feb.1. I love grandmotherhood until you area grandma you dont get
it. People say itall of the time, but once you are, its allof the
rewards for everything, becauseyouve got the time (to enjoy them)
The anticipation of Christmas morning
(since we had grandchildren) is very high.
Kendra JohnstonThe executive director of the
Downtown Business Improvement Areatells readers her
favourites.
Eat:My favouriteplace is North NoodleHouse at the Shops atNew
West. Im com-pletely addicted to it.My favourite thingthere is the
Dan DanNoodles. They maketheir own noodles fresh. You can watchthe
guy make the noo-dles, and its just
Favourite spot: JJ Lee and his twin sons Emmet, left, and Jack
dig into a dish of poutine atAnnys Dairy Bar, one of their
favouritestops to grab some grub in NewWest.
Eat, drink and be merry in the city

S eniors are poorlyserved by income-based
pharmaceuticalcoverage, which leads toprescription-skipping
andhigher costs for hospital-ization, according to a newreport
released Dec. 3 bythe Institute for Researchon Public Policy.
British Columbiansreport greater financialbarriers to filling
prescrip-tions than people do inother provinces, said leadauthor
Steve Morgan,director of the Centre forHealth Services and
PolicyResearch at the Universityof B.C. As the proportionof people
over the age of65 began to accelerate adecade ago, several
prov-inces including B.C. endedage-based drug cover-age that paid
virtually allpharmaceutical costs forseniors.
Pharmaceutical policy
is particularly prone toage-related financial pres-sures not so
much ona system as a whole, buton governments,Morgansaid.
As people retire fromworking life, responsibilityfor paying drug
costs hadhistorically passed fromprivate insurers to the pub-lic
purse. By adopting anincome-based approachto pharmaceutical
cover-age for people of all agesin 2003, B.C.managed tohalt
fast-rising public drugcosts at about $200 perperson.That burden
wastransferred to employersand private insurers, whichnow pay
upward of $400per person, up from $200before the policy switch,the
authors say.
In B.C., families thatdont have private insur-ance with a net
incomeof at least $30,000 a year
pay their own drug costsup to three per cent oftheir income
before theprovincial Fair PharmaCaresystem begins to subsidizethose
costs.The deductiblefor families including onemember born before
1939is two per cent of income:at least $1,000 if they earnmore than
$50,000.
What that means isthat, unlike people in otherprovinces,many
moreBritish Columbians arepaying drug costs out oftheir
pocket,Morgan said.
Faced with paying thefull price of prescriptionsuntil the
minimum thresh-old of $1,000, seniors areless likely to fill
prescrip-tions for common psychi-atric, cardiac and
asthmamedications, according toresearch conducted in B.C.,Morgan
noted.
Several Canadian stud-ies have found British
Columbians were twice aslikely to report skippingmedications for
financialreasons (7.1 per cent,according to one study)compared to
seniors inOntario, where their drugcosts are minimal.
