‘None of us have ever had a bad word with each other through all the years:’ Kay Edwards
Friends forever: A group of women who graduated from Trapp Tech in New Westminster 65 years ago continue their long-standing tradition of meetingmonthly. Seated are: Ingrid Zanatta, Ivileen Bridges, Olivette Abraham, Kay Edwards and Bev Lauer, and standing behind them are Ruth Scott, BettySparks, Audrey Law, Mable Moran and Elve Morrison. The women have kept in touch and stood by each other through all of life’s ups and downs.
Agroup of young women made avow 65 years ago to always befriends – and they’ve been true to
their word.When the young women graduated
from Trapp Tech High Schoolin 1947, they promised theywould meet once a monthfor friendship and camara-derie. They’ve lived up tothe promise, and remainedfriends for more than sixdecades.
“None of us have everhad a bad word with eachother through all the years,”said Kay Edwards. “There isa lot of warmth when we get together.”
Continuing their 65-year tradition,the women recently met and sharedsome laughs over lunch. Attendeesincluded Mable Moran (née Anderson)and Olivette Abraham (née Jerome),who now live in North Vancouver; RuthScott (née Wood) and Edwards (née
Henderson), who reside in White Rock;Betty Sparks (née Graham), who livesin Anmore; and Elve Morrison (neeMickelson), Bev Lauer (née Jones), IngridZanatta (née Skog) and Ivileen Bridges
(née Hogben), who still callNew Westminster home.Audrey Law (nee Hutton)now lives in Oliver, but stillmanages to attend the group’sluncheon at least three timesa year.
“It’s nice to know wehave friends that we can callfriends for all of those years,”Edwards told The Record. “Wehave all known each others
children.”The remaining members continue to
meet once a month for lunch and to gababout the latest news in their lives.
“Several of the original 16 girls havepassed away, but for the remaining 10women, we will continue to honour ourpromise to be always friends, as we head
into our 66th year of sharing our loveand respect for each other monthly,”Edwards said.
Many of the women put their secre-tarial skills to good use after graduation,working at various businesses in NewWestminster until marriage and familyresponsibilities took priority.
“These new commitments did notdeter any of us from meeting once amonth at our various homes, and as theyears advanced we decided to enjoy ourlunch at the local restaurants in NewWestminster and other Lower Mainlandeateries,” she said. “Because of drivingdistances for some of the ladies, it wasdecided to meet in New Westminster forthe past several years.”
Through the years, conversations haveevolved from work and boyfriends, tomarriage and children. Nowadays, thegroup of grandmothers and great-grand-mothers share the latest news from theirfamilies, talk about their vacations andcomment on the various aches and pains
that come with aging.“It is truly amazing. You wonder
where the time has gone,” Moran said.“We went to school together, got engagedabout the same time, got married aboutthe same time and had children aroundthe same time.”
The long-standing friendship is also asource of support for the women, many ofwhom have been widowed. In the earlyyears, the women met in the evening, butonce they started raising their familiesthey decided to meet for lunch.
“It’s been wonderful,” Moran said.“There’s always something to talk about.”
The women have stood by each otherthrough good and bad times, includ-ing birthdays, weddings, anniversaries,divorce and deaths of spouses and goodfriends. Some of the women met as stu-dents at Trapp Tech High School, butsome friendships go even further backinto the classrooms of John Robson, LordKelvin, Herbert Spencer and F.W. Howayelementary schools.

The New Westminster school district’scontroversial business company, whichruns schools in China and Korea, is takinga financial hit with new rules implement-ed by the Chinese government.
The company was forced to shut downone of its English programs at one school in
Wenzhou, China, and enrolment is downat another, business company chief execu-tive officer Brent Atkinson said.
“(The school) gave us the notice thatafter this year, they will no longer behaving a PACE (Progressive AcademicCanadian English) program because theirministry is no longer going to give themany funding for it, and because they area public school, they can’t charge fees,”Atkinson said.
The English program had about 350students, Atkinson said.
The business company’s other Englishprogram, which has about 1,300 studentsand is in a private school, is still operat-
ing, Atkinson said.As for enrolment at the company’s
high school, Atkinson said they are downby about 100 students from approximate-ly 275 because of imposed governmentchanges to the way schools can operate.
Two changes that have hurt the busi-ness company’s ability to do businessinclude no longer allowing it to recruitstudents outside of the city and not allow-ing it to recruit before June 15 – two strat-egies Atkinson said they had used.
Another change – the governmentwants the school to offer not just a B.C.diploma but a Chinese diploma as well.
“I can understand that they wanted usto go to a dual program, so their studentswould graduate with both a B.C. and aChinese diploma, so their students couldgo to university in China,” said Atkinson,who has managed to turn the overseasbusiness company into a profit-makingenterprise.
Despite the rule changes, the com-pany is still expected to bring a $200,000profit into the school district for 2012/13school year, secretary-treasurer BrianSommerfeldt wrote in an email to TheRecord.
Last year, the company brought in anet profit of $363,000 for the district.
For the first time since he took overthe company more than five years ago,Atkinson – a former longtime schooltrustee – is being paid for his work.
As of January, it was determined that
he would receive $20,000 a year, whilethree of the board’s directors would get$4,000 each. The district’s secretary-trea-surer is not receiving payment for hisparticipation on the board.
Rule changes could also hit closerto home. The provincial government isdoing a review of the guidelines and theprocess under which offshore schools arereviewed, Atkinson said.
“They indicated to us that theywould have that information out to us inDecember,” he said. “It could impact allkinds of things.”
Meanwhile, the business company hasexpanded into new territory this year,opening an elementary school in Koreathis month.
“We are conducting an elementaryschool with a modest population nowbecause their full year is January toDecember, so in September we only hadan intake of 30 to 35 students, but wehope to be up to close to 80 by January,”Atkinson said.
The school district’s business companyhas been a controversial endeavour sincethe district started selling the B.C. curricu-lum abroad, under legislation introducedby the B.C. Liberals in 2002. For years, theenterprise – a $1 million investment thattook years to get back – was a drain onthe district’s coffers, but it has managedto turn a profit in recent years.

On the same night the board of educa-tion was discussing its $2.8 million budgetdeficit, the school district released theannual salary of the school district’s threebiggest earners – all had a base salary of$130,000 and higher.
Superintendent John Woudzia was thehighest-paid official in the district, earning$187,676 for last year (totals include pen-sion and benefits); assistant-superinten-dent Al Balanuik earned $159,598; and sec-
retary-treasurer Brian Sommerfeldt made$157,495.
Since 2008, boards of education havebeen required to complete the public sec-tor executive compensation disclosurereport annually. The disclosure require-ments apply to chief executive officersand the next four highest paid executives,where these positions have an annual basesalary of $125,000 or more.
Loss of govt. funding andnew regulations will reduceprojected profit to $200,000
District’s three biggestearners exceed $130,000

Are cuts to the federal food inspec-tion services impacting food safety inCanada? Was the recent recall of meatwith E. coli due to changes in inspectionprocesses and/or staffing?
Who knows?What we do know is that
the E. coli tainted Canadianmeat products were discov-ered by U.S. inspectors, notCanadian inspectors. And the U.S. foodsafety inspection service tested the beeftwo weeks before Canadian agencieseven acted. This should, we believe,
raise several red flags.When the federal government
decided to build a very lean budget,Stephen Harper also decided to leave
out all those pesky detailsabout exactly what was beingcut and by how much. Thebudget, according to mediareports, called for the elimina-tion of 19,000 federal jobs over
three years. Also, according to mediareports, the cuts would affect everythingfrom food inspections to transportationsafety. But the federal government has
not released details about those cuts. So,we, like many other folks in B.C., haveno idea whether cuts may be directlyimpacting the safety of our food supplyor our water supply. However, the unionrepresenting the largest number of fed-eral employees does have an idea.
The Public Service Alliance ofCanada believes that Canada’s foodinspection agency is being weakenedthrough cuts and a move to have meatcompanies do more self-policing. And itis raising concerns about the trend. As itshould.
Certainly, PSAC has a vested interest,given that its members are losing jobs,but it doesn’t take a PhD in agricultureto come to the conclusion that fewerinspections and regulations with morefood production could add up to moretainted food issues.
So far, no one has died from this E.coli tainted meat, but what about thenext batch? Fewer inspections will sure-ly mean a potential for more chances ofcontamination. Will it take somethinglike a Walkerton tragedy to get the gov-ernment to rethink its cuts?
Real support isneeded for seniors
Seniors aren’t problems tobe managed, and agingis not an illness. But, too
often, we talk about older BritishColumbians that way, in termsboth inaccurate and demeaning.
There are certainly challengesin growing older. But nothinghappens at 65 that suddenlymakes someone less of a person.
Seniors contribute a greatdeal. Like everyone else, theywork, volunteer, sup-port family members,nurture friendships,pursue hobbies andinterests, and partici-pate in community life. In B.C.,more than 10,000 children arebeing raised by their grandpar-ents with not a lot of support – agreat challenge and contribution.
Yes, many British Columbiansrequire society’s support as theyage. But so do people of all ages– families needing day care,university students needing bur-saries, commuters needing goodroads and everyone needinghealth care.
Yet, somehow, support forseniors tends to be viewed as aspecial burden.
Admittedly, demograph-ics create some challenges. In2001, there were 135,000 BritishColumbians over 80.
By 2011, there were 197,000, a46 per cent increase in 10 years.
Similar increases lie ahead;by 2036, one in four of us will beover 65.
While we talk about support-ing people as they age, we aren’tdelivering.
The B.C. Ombudspersonreported last year that the num-ber of publicly subsidized resi-dential care beds increased by3.4 per cent between 2002 and2010. Meanwhile, the populationover 80 – the main client base –increased by 34 per cent. (Homesupport services also failed tokeep up with the growth in theover-80 population.)
Those of us in the communitysocial services sectorknow it is a mistaketo think seniors’ needsrevolve around healthcare, as if aging is an
illness.Families do great work help-
ing their elders. But not every-one has family members nearby,and often, professional skills arerequired.
That’s when the agencies thatemploy thousands of expert,dedicated people in the com-munity social services sector takeover. They support seniors intheir homes.
They help with shopping andmeals. They provide physiother-apy, and counselling on every-thing from medications andhealth to emotional issues.
Our work produces pragmaticbenefits. For example, while itcosts $72,000 a year to provideresidential care (shared betweenseniors and government), a fewhours a week of home supportcan help people stay independ-ent at a fraction of that expense.
Community support is thebest way to reduce demands on
OUR VIEWTHE RECORD
Keep unions accessibleDear Editor:
Matthew Enns, a former intern for the CanadianFederation of Independent Business, recently wroteto this paper condemning the call to make it saferfor workers to join a union (re: Secret ballots shouldstay, Letters to the Editor, The Record, Sept. 14).
I wonder, was he speaking for workers or forthe employers who wish to maintain their abilityto threaten and intimidate employees who want tojoin a union.
Many workers, especially young and immigrantworkers, are scared to join a union because they fearthey will be fired or demoted for trying. Card checkallows workers to make their decision free frominterference and threats from their employer, andprevents leaders of organizing drives from beingfired unfairly.
The system of card check Mr. Enns criticizes wasrecently adopted by the Conservative governmentof Newfoundland. It has long been recognized asa fair, balanced and democratic way for workers tounionize.
Full disclosure: I am responsible for helping toorganize young workers who want to join a union.I want them to have rights and fair working condi-tions in their workplaces. Can you say the samething for Mr. Enns?

These days, that has mostly meantgoing to and from school.
It’s about an hour long commute eachway, and I’m normally able to time it sothat I can get to my classes on time and nothave to panic too much on the trip.
That assumes the buses actually showup when they’re scheduled to show up.In recent months, that’s been a danger-ous assumption to make, especially alongroutes that serve the two major universi-ties in the region.
It would be one thing if the buses weresimply late and we all carried on; thingshappen on the trip and buses can’t alwaysmove as quickly as they’re expected tomove.
We’re now already at the stage wherebuses simply aren’t showing up that shouldbe showing up, and the potential for pas-sups is increasing exponentially because ofbuses that are simply disappearing.
All of this is happening before the trans-link budget cuts come into effect.
For those not in the know, the Mayor’scouncil voted to rescind the tax increasethey promised TransLink, which wouldhave allowed the transit system to main-tain levels of service and even expandservice in some less well served areas ofthe metro region.
Instead, thanks to the mayors’ deci-sion to rescind the tax increase prior toits implementation, TransLink will onceagain have to scramble to find the fundingneeded just to keep the service we havefrom deteriorating.
It is surprising that this is a concern atall, given the branding that many of thecities that make up the metro area havechosen for themselves.
From Burnaby touting its environmen-tal awards to Vancouver promising to bethe world’s greenest city, this is a metroregion that prides itself on environmental
action and activism.Why then are those same mayors
actively opposing the expansion of a sys-tem that will cut down our dependenceon fossil fuels and reduce our regionalemissions?
It’s been put on the record that DerekCorrigan, the mayor of Burnaby, in par-ticular was opposed to the initial decisionto fund TransLink with a property taxincrease and was vocal in attempting todefeat it prior to its original inception.
One could have appreciated that ascampaign rhetoric during the election sea-son, but the election has come and gone,why is there still opposition to such a valu-able progressive policy concept?
Mayor Corrigan is a New Democrat,and, for a time, was touted as a possibleleadership candidate for the B.C. NewDemocrats.
The opportunity is now before MayorCorrigan to chart a progressive, NDPcourse at TransLink and help fund themaintenance and expansion that the publictransportation system needs in order tobecome competitive with private automo-biles.
Now for me, it doesn’t matter if I’m afew minutes late; class will continue onand life won’t suddenly end if I’m person-ally not there to start off class.
Other people, however, rely on publictransportation as their main form of trans-portation to get to their jobs, to run theirfamily errands and to enjoy their sociallives.
They pay into the service through taxesand ever-increasing fares, they deserveto at least get a system that’s reliable andshows up on time.
Metro politicians, this is not a toughcall; expand the funding to TransLink asagreed in the 2011 mayors’ council vote.
No more games with funding, not overa fundamental progressive and environ-mental priority.

the health-care system.But really, this is about
doing what’s right. Seniorsshould be supported intheir desire to live full, richlives, and contribute.
Our commitment alsohas to extend to the profes-sional, dedicated peoplewho provide the support.The number of seniors hasbeen increasing, but gov-ernment support has notkept up. Frontline workershave been increasinglystressed and stretched, andseniors have suffered fromreduced care.
But seniors don’t reallyneed a day or a pressrelease. They need a cit-izenry and a governmentthat treat them as valuedpeople, not problems.
When that happens,every day will be seniors’day. And we will be astronger society.

“They are probably the best medalsaround,” she said. “They are our favou-rite medals.”
While the medals are cherished, theDisney fans also enjoy the experienceof running through the different themeparks.
“Running through it is pretty neat,”said Sue, who works in theutilities department at cityhall. “You get all the charac-ters along the way – especial-ly Disneyworld. They havecharacters high-fiving you.They try and make it reallyfun.”
The Disneyland HalfMarathon includes a routethat passes through the near-by Angel Stadium.
“They had crowds cheer-ing you on,” Sue said. “Asyou left the field, you sawyourself on the jumbotron.”
The couple has been toDisney World six times, hav-ing run the marathon fourtimes and completed the Goofy chal-lenge twice.
“Two years ago, when we did theDisney Challenge in Disney World inFlorida, they experienced near recordlow temperatures,” Sue said. “At thestart of the one-half, they had snow. Itturned into sleet for the race.”
Expecting warmer weather in Florida,
Earl had only a long-sleeve T-shirt forthe half marathon. During the follow-ing day’s full marathon, temperaturessipped to below zero.
“When we got to our first water stop,they were frozen,” Sue recalled.
The weather was so chilly that Earlhad icicles hanging from his baseballcamp during the marathon.
After taking part the Goofy’s Raceand a Half Challenge, the couple was
heading to Key West Floridawhen they were informedthat a run was taking placethat weekend in Naples.
“By fluke, there wasa half-marathon therethat week,” Sue laughed.“Within a week, we rantwo one-halfs and a full.”
The New Westminsternatives started doing mara-thons in the late 1980s.
“We had been casualrunners. I had taught fit-ness classes,” Sue recalled.“We started doing mara-thons. Later we startedmaking trips out of them.”
Since that first mara-thon in Vancouver in 1987,
Sue has run in marathons in placesincluding London, Portugal, Scotland,Honolulu (four times), New York, LasVegas, California, Boston (eight times),and Portland.
“I have done 63 marathons now, hehas done 39,” she said. “Disney is defi-nitely one of our favourites. It is fun.”
“I have done 63marathons now,he (Earl) hasdone 39. Disneyis definitely oneof our favourites.It is fun.”
SUE FRYcity resident
Royal City residents are generally happywith Queen’s Park and don’t want anymajor changes made in the years to come.
The City of New Westminster is workingon a Queen’s Park master plan,which would help the city planthe park’s operations for the next10 to 15 years. The parks andrecreation comprehensive planthat was done in 2008 had recom-mended that a planning processbe undertaken for Queen’s Parkto address the park’s aging infra-structure, the need for more flex-ible, informal space, and the needto enhance the experience of parkpatrons.
Dean Gibson, the city’s directorof parks, culture and recreation,said a range of ideas have beensuggested during the Queen’sPark master plan process.
“The theme that emerged earlyon and held true through muchof the process is there wasn’tstrong sentiment for having muchchange in Queen’s Park,” he said.“Most people enjoy the variety of experi-ences in the park.”
Although there isn’t a call for “whole-sale” change to Queen’s Park, Gibson saidthere have been many suggestions put for-
ward by the community.New Westminster city council will receive
a draft copy of the Queen’s Park masterplan at its Oct. 1 meeting. The draft reportoutlines some of the community’s recom-mendations, including: creating a conceptplan for Rainbow Playland; upgrading the
spray park; developing a newconcession/washroom build-ing; developing eco-zones andplanting vegetation; developingdesigns for an outdoor commu-nity plaza; providing lightingat the dog enclosure; discourag-ing off-leash dogs in the parkother than in the designatedarea; upgrading the park’sroad; developing parking; anddoing ongoing maintenance onthe Arenex, greenhouses andCentennial Lodge.
The city has sought inputfrom community membersthrough open houses, work-shops and public events atQueen’s Park.
“I am happy with the pro-cess,” Gibson said. “We havebeen receiving a lot of partici-pation from the community.”
After getting direction from council, staffwill continue to work on the plan. Staffhopes to bring final plan to council forits consideration in late October or earlyNovember.

An Abbotsford company that providestestingtomeasure theelectromagneticwavesfrom a product for electronics manufactur-ers is expanding into New Westminster.
Protocol-EMC is slated to open a testingfacility in the former Sears warehouse nearthe Braid SkyTrain station this fall. The com-pany offers electromagnetic compatibilitytesting, product testing and certification ser-vices for products that will be sold in localand international markets.
“Adding a new testing facility in NewWestminster allows us to better support ourcustomers in the Lower Mainland region,”Rob Stirling, Protocol-EMC’s president, saidin a media release.
The company has been based inAbbotsford since the 1990s. The companywill offer open-air test sites and shelteredtesting in a special chamber for productdesigners and manufacturers with electron-ics components on a variety of products
including consumer, industrial, medical,wireless, power and telecom.
Stirling opened his secondlocation in New Westminsterbecause of its central location– closer to where many productdesigners and manufacturers arebased, he said.
The close proximity to BCIT’sTechnology Place and DiscoveryPlace in Vancouver is a boon totech startups and academic spin-offs – companies moving outof the academic arena and intobrick and mortar – who needtesting at the early stage as wellas when prototypes are ready togo into production, the mediarelease said.
EMC or electromagnetic com-patibility testing involves check-ing the interaction of electricaland electronic equipment withthe environment and doesn’t interfere withcommunication channels. Almost all elec-
tronic devices have the potential to emitradio fields and it’s possible for those devic-
es to interfere with each other.In Canada, all electrical and
electronic equipment mustoperate within specified limitsfor electromagnetic emissions,which are governed by IndustryCanada.
Stirling, who teaches elec-tromagnetic compatibility tograduate electronic engineeringstudents at UBC, said electro-magnetic compatibility trainingcan be rare to find and isn’tcovered in typical circuit designcourses.
“Many technicians andengineers simply haven’t beenexposed to EMC concepts,” hesaid in the release. “As a conse-quence, they don’t design withtesting in mind.”

Grandmother power is alive inNew Westminster.
The Royal City Gogos are partof the worldwide phenomenonthrough their fundraising to helpAfrican grandmothers raisingtheir grandchildren orphanedby AIDS. It was these Africangrandmothers who inspiredPaola Gianturco. After meetingsome of the grandmothers, shewas convinced that Africa is gluedtogether by grandmothers whoadopt their grandchildren despite
their overwhelming hardships.This inspiration led to an amaz-
ing new book called GrandmotherPower: A Global Phenomenon. In it,she documents how, throughoutthe world, grandmothers are act-ively fighting for a better futurefor their grandchildren.
Grandmother Power profilesactivist grandmothers in 15 coun-tries on five continents who telltheir compelling stories in theirown words. In addition to theCanadian grandmothers, youcan hear about grandmothersin Senegal who convince com-munities to abandon female gen-
ital mutilation, grandmothers inIndia who become solar engin-eers and bring light to their vil-lages, Argentine grandmotherswho continue their 40-year searchfor grandchildren who were kid-napped during the military dicta-torship, and Irish grandmotherswho teach children to sow seedsand cook with fresh, local ingredi-ents.
Gianturco begins a NorthAmerican tour with stops in theLower Mainland. She will be at theNew Westminster Public Libraryto talk about the movement andher new book on Tuesday, Oct. 2
at 2:30 p.m. As space is limited,pre-register at 604-527-4667.
Gianturco has written a num-ber of books, all documentingwomen’s lives in 55 countriesthrough photos and text. She hasalso exhibited at UNESCO in Parisand United Nations in New York.
The program is sponsored bythe Royal City Gogos. (Gogomeans grandmother in Zulu.) Allauthor royalties will be donated tothe Stephen Lewis Foundation’sGrandmothers to Grandmotherscampaign, which provides grantsto African grandmothers who areraising AIDS orphans.

Reason tocare
Inside
Heart problems can’t keep a good dad down
There must be some mistake, thought Johnny Gahir.After all, the robust, energetic 37-year-old father oftwo from Surrey exercised regularly and took goodcare of himself. But there was no mistaking the chestpains he was experiencing after coming home fromthe gym on May 3rd, 2008. A cardiology stress test athis local hospital revealed a shadow on the front ofhis heart and the need for a referral to RCH’s cardiacteam.An angioplasty at RCH revealed that Johnny had
an 80 per cent blockage to his main artery, and so astent was inserted to restore the blood flow.The following Valentine’s Day, Johnny had an
unusual feeling in his chest—and it had nothing to dowith the romanticholiday. He went tohis local hospital,and was immedi-ately referred againto RCH for anotherstent.Life returned to
normal for awhileuntil January 2012,while crossingthe Canada – U.S.border, Johnnyexperienced an-
other heart attack. As his heart condition was provingto be resistant to treatment with stents, RCH CardiacSurgeon Dr. Daniel Wong opted to perform open heartdouble bypass surgery on Johnny.“You don’t normally expect to see a patient in their
30s with an absence of risk factors like genetics, poorhealth, etc. suffering from heart disease, but it hap-pens,” says Dr. Wong.Now, nothing is holding Johnny back from going
about his regular routine, which includes riding on his
by jodi martens andshannon henderson
motorbike and running after his children.“Half of my job is to treat the disease, and the other
half is to help patients understand the disease andwhat they can do to help themselves. Johnny has re-ally taken charge of his health in this respect.”Says Johnny: “From the moment you’re born until
you pass, at some point you’re going to need thecaring hands of medical professionals, and, if you’refortunate enough to be cared for by the quality staff atRCH, you’re blessed.”
Johnny Gahir’s family is happy that he is home, heart healthy and happy again, thanks to RCH.

RCH redevelopmentmoves forward150Reasons to GiveWhat’s your reason?
Our campaign for the future
On June 12th, 2012our birthday wishcame true: RoyalColumbian Hospitalreceived approvalfrom the provincialgovernment to pro-ceed with the re-development of thesite. This expansionwill enable RCH to
fulfill its mandate as a provincial centre of specializedcare, and help take the pressure off many communityhospitals within the region. While many years of plan-ning and building lie ahead, it is a tremendously excit-ing time to be a part of Royal Columbian Hospital.In the meantime, there are terrific opportunities
to support patient care here. In celebration of RoyalColumbian’s 150 years of medical excellence, we havelaunched our 150 Reasons to Give campaign to raise$1.5 million for critically needed equipment through-out the hospital. With your support, we can move RCHforward into this exciting phase of its history.
On June 12, 2012, former Health Minister Michael deJong announced the formal start of work on the rede-velopment of Royal Columbian Hospital.“Royal Columbian Hospital is at a crossroads in its
history,” said de Jong. “Now is the time to celebrateits past, create a vision for the future and take imme-diate concrete steps in the present to ensure the bestcare for patients both in RCH and throughout FraserHealth.”The redevelopment is anticipated to include hun-
dreds of additional beds, a larger emergency depart-ment, a new surgical suite and consolidation of criticalcare beds.

Everyone toldme howluckywewere that hewas at Royal Columbian, and that gaveme hope.” – Marnie James,wife of Trevor James, who underwent two brain surgeries after falling off a ladder at work.
“Trauma can affect any one of us at any time. Caring for the criticallyinjured takes awhole team and having the right equipment also plays amajor role in helping us save lives and reduce the lifelong impact of seri-ous injuries.” - Dr. Iain MacPhail (centre), Program Medical Director, FraserHealth Trauma Services.
“This is our community, this is where we are, and we all con-sider the Royal Columbian to be our hospital. We take greatpride in our commitment to support RCH, as we feel we arecontributing to a valuable partner, both on a personal anda professional level.” – Frank Butzelaar, President and CEO,Southern Railway of British Columbia (below).
“The ER is a difficult and a challenging place both forpatients and for those of uswho care for them. Yet the samestress and chaos thatmakes this place so challenging, alsoprovides an opportunity to experience some of life’s great-est wonders.We are tested almost daily to see how farwewill bend, but over the years I have been awed by the resil-ience and compassion of the people I workwith.” – Mary VanOsch, Clinical Nurse Educator, Emergency Programs.
“Nomatter how experiencedwe are,making life-and-death decisions is easier and better whenwehave the appropriate technology and equipment.Every dollar buys us time…time that ultimatelysaves lives.” – Dr. Gerald Simkus, Program MedicalDirector, Cardiac Sciences.
“There is no better medical centre tosupport. Through our experiences, bothpersonal and professional, we have seenhow donor fundingmakes a real impacton patients’ lives. So by leaving a gift inourWills, we can help RCH continue todeliver the best in health care innova-tion into the future.” – RCH CardiologistDr. Akbar Lalani and wife, Shamin.
“For such a rottenthing to have hap-
pened tome, Ihad an awesome
experience inRCH. It was agood environ-
ment. I was sur-rounded by lots oflaughter – and I’mprofoundly grate-ful to the nurses
and doctorswho savedmylife. Theywere
amazing.” – MarcoLundy, who sufferedserious injuries afterbeing thrown froma horse she wastraining last fall.
“I am so grateful that I landedin the care of the wonderfulstaff at RCH. I couldn’t haveasked for a better or more ded-icated group to bring me backto life! There were many diffi-cult moments in the ICU whenI felt as though I would neverget better and I am so thank-ful for such a fantastic teamwho pushed me to recovery.”– Alexandra Kroetsch, who sur-vived a deadly infection causedby the H1N1 virus.
“Sadly, comeMay 17, 2011, we said good bye toour little Brooklyn.What reallymeant themostto us in thatmomentwas the compassion theNICU staff had, how they criedwith us, andshared sympathetic wordswith us. TheymadeBrooklyn’s passing a peaceful intimatemomentfor us, and for thatwewill always hold themdear.” – Tanya Foulds and Joel Wilson with Isabella(left) and Charlotte.

Royal Columbian’s Enduring Tradition ofTraining
Royal Columbian Hospital (RCH) will be marking twonumerical milestones this year: celebrating its 150thyear of operation, and welcoming its 1000th first-yearmedical resident.In a province identified by its relative youth, the
New Westminster hospital is an institution steepedin history, born in the days when many of the city’sinhabitants still lived in tents and British Columbiawas still a colony ruled from distant England.Besides becoming a regional hub of medical care,
it also became a major training centre for healthprofessionals. It was the home of the province’sfirst nursing school, and launched a medical resi-dency program in 1950, the same year the Faculty ofMedicine was founded (one of the residents who camethrough the hospital, John Noseworthy, is now theCEO of the Mayo Clinic).The hospital formalized its educational role with
UBC in 1988, leading to greater numbers of its physi-cians becoming clinical faculty, and aligning its curric-ulum with other postgraduate training programs in B.C.

That identity was reaffirmed in 2002, when RoyalColumbian became a Clinical Academic Campus ofUBC, reflecting its extensive educational programsand facilities. Today, those programs and facilitiesinclude a clinical teaching unit that combines trainingof undergraduate medical students and residents.A first-year residency program draws 29 new physi-
cians to the hospital each year to pursue postgradu-ate training, and a student-led rehabilitation clinicserves the occupational therapy and physical therapyneeds of New Westminster and surrounding commu-nities.“Royal Columbian has a huge capacity in clinical
care,” says Dr. Dale Stogryn, UBC’s Site Director formedical education. “For example, it has the highestinterventional cardiology volume in Canada outsideToronto, and very high neurosurgery volumes. At thesame time, we’ve maintained a family atmosphere.Students like to come here because they’re welcomedas part of the team.”
RCH’s 1000th first-year medical resident Dr. Sadiq Abdulla is training to become an anesthesiologist.

New arrival
In Dec. 2009, Amie MacNeilwas induced into labour at RCH,as she had developed mild hy-pertension. Little did she knowat the time she would undergoa medical crisis, and if it wasn’tfor the staff and services atRCH, may not have survived thebirth of her son, Jacob.“After a lengthy labour and
a C-section, I was still able tohold my son and feed him forthe first time.”That is all she can remember
before the post-natal ordealthat followed. Amie started tohemorrhage, and doctors had to remove her uterus.Then, during surgery, Amie went into cardiac arrest.When the doctor came back, he told Amie’s husband
Todd that she was stabilized, but still in rough shape.“I asked the nurses to bring Jacob down because
nobody knew if Amy would make it through the night,”he says.

QuestionOur veggie garden was a
bust. Everything grew huge,but we had no actual foodexcept for the kale.
Not much under the earthin carrots or radishes. Tomatostems are very big but noteven one tomato is growing -the same for peas and cukes.
Did we plant too much inone 8’ x 8’ planter?
Fiona,Vancouver
AnswerI wonder what fertilizer
you used. It sounds as ifyour soil is overly rich innitrogen. Nitrogen createshuge stems and leaves butdoes nothing to help fruit-ing.
Or perhaps you used alarge quantity of manureor compost.
It’s a telling point thatyour kale did very well.Any other type of cabbageor leafy crop would alsohave produced lots of foodfor you.
There’s always a builtin problem if you growcrops that need differentsoil conditions in the samebed but fertilize all the soilthe same way.
Carrots and radisheslike a little nutrition, butroots won’t form if the soilis super rich.
Fertilizers(organic andnon-organic)have threenumbers on thepacket.
The first isnitrogen, thesecond phos-phorus and thethird potash.Phosphorusstrengthensroots and helpsplants producefruit and seeds.Potassium alsohelps fruitingand increasesdisease-resistance.
Peas don’t do well inhigh nitrogen situations.But you should have hadsome pods showing bynow unless you plantedthem very late. Shadysituations and pollinationproblems can also reducepea crops.
Don’t give up on yourtomatoes or cukes just yet.It was a wet, cold spring
and everything’s late. Doyou have flowers on yourtomatoes?
Since you’ve just oneveggie bed, it might bebest to plant it in threesquarish blocks: one forleafy plants, a second forroot vegetables and a thirdfor anything that gives
fruit (peas,tomatoes,cukes etc.).
This wouldalso help youwith crop rota-tion.
I hope youlike cabbage,Fiona.
Planting abed of broccoli,head cabbage,lettuce or chardwould helpyou use upall that nitro-gen. So wouldanything else
where you eat the leaves,stems or both.
QuestionI would like to build up
a landscape box, add moresoil and make a hosta bedin the shade of my wisteria.Wisteria ‘whips’ grow allthrough the soil and I’mconcerned these will leave nonutrients for the hostas.
My plan is to place card-
board over the existing soiland build up the box and soil‘lasagne garden style.’ I amremoving the wisteria whips.Will this plan be OK for thehostas and the wisteria?
Dana,E-mail
AnswerOnce wisterias begin
suckering they continueevery year – and the suck-ers will break through thecardboard before long.
So you will have ayearly routine of peekingaround your hostas to cutback the wisteria suckers.
But wisterias and hostaslike moist rich soil so thetwo types of plants willbe very good companions– and the wisteria suckerswill keep coming no mat-ter what perennials youuse as companions.
At least hostas look sodifferent from wisterialeaves it will be easy to tellthem apart.
If you mulch yearlywith compost or organicfertilizer, the hostas nutri-ent needs will be met.
The wisteria will getmost of its nourishmentmuch further afield.

won’t leave the theatrebefore the credits are donebecause some of the bestscenes can be at the end.
Bloopers are now sopopular that they’re eveninserted at the end of car-toons like Monsters, Inc.and the Toy Story movies.
They offer a releasefrom the altered reality ofmovies.
On film, all is not onlybigger and better than lifebut cleaner, neater andprettier. The average actoris a lot better looking thanthe average people we seein the mirror and on thestreets.
In movies and tele-vision, teeth are unnatur-ally white, faces moresymmetric and perfect.
Even if characters burpor pass gas (usually fora laugh), we won’t smellanything (other than pop-corn and the real peoplesitting around you).
Returning to real lifecan be a letdown.
The bloopers remindus that the movie we justsaw was a work of fictionand the actors themselvesare imperfect and falliblejust like us.
They flub their lines,trip themselves up andlaugh uncontrollably.
Still in real life, most ofus want to show our bestselves to others and shyaway from mentioningour blunders.
At the end of ourlives, we expect a solemnrespectful service whereour loved ones rememberthe good things we did.
Thinking about thiscan inform our lives today
as we strive to live as wewish to be remembered.
But making mistakesand being imperfectmakes us human likeeveryone else.
And themistakes wemake are anecessary partof learning andgrowing.
I hope I willnever be so oldas to be afraidto try newthings, makenew mistakesand learn fromthem.
If your lifewas a movie,would you playyour bloopersat the end?
Maybe notif it was a major blooperthat did you in.
That could bring moretears than laughter.
Laughing with othersat our own bloopers canbe therapeutic and neces-
sary for personal growth.We must first acknow-
ledge our responsibilityfor our decisions andactions. When we make a
mistake withthe poten-tial to harmothers – evenwhen it is notintentional, wemust acceptour personalresponsibility.
This, in fact,is part of thenew culture ofdisclosure inhealth care.
In thecourse of apatient’s care,should healthcare providersmake a mis-take, such as
giving the wrong dose ofa medication – even if it
does not result in harm tothat patient, they are eth-ically obliged to disclosethe error to the patient.
This transparency isessential for improve-ments in safety in healthcare. We can learn fromthese mistakes and takesteps to reduce futureerrors.
Of course medical mis-takes are seldom funny,and no one laughs atthese bloopers.
Laughing at ourselveswhen we do silly thingscan relieve the pressure oftrying to look perfect.
If we take ourselves tooseriously and worry toomuch about looking goodto everyone else, we mayset unrealistic standardsand cause ourselves morestress.
Fear of failing or look-ing foolish can hold us
back from trying newthings, meeting newpeople, learning andgrowing.
Maybe we should alllet our loved ones knowwhich bloopers they mayshare at our memorialservices.
We could start a newtrend that would reduceblooper phobia in the liv-ing, reminding everyonethat it’s ok to make mis-takes as long as we canlearn and laugh.
What would you dotoday if you were notafraid of failing or lookingfoolish?

In previous columns Ihave suggested on anumber of occasions
that one should try theirhand at making fresh pastainstead of always relyingon purchasing it dry froma bag or box.
Congratulations to youif you took my advice andtried your hand at thiswonderful culinary skill.For those of you who did,and for those of you whonever will, I want to giveyou some ideas for saucesto complement your pasta,be it from fresh or dry.
The most common isthe classic tomato sauce.Although chefs will con-sider it sacrilege to anypasta, a number of peoplestill buy canned or jarredpremade tomato sauces todon their pasta.
Some will at least getcreative by adding extraingredients like onionsor garlic, but nothing cantake the place of goodrustic homemade batch oftomato sauce.
This does not have to bethe style that simmers forhours on end either. Manygreat homemade pastasauces can start out witha little help from canneddiced tomatoes and sometomato paste and be donein record time.
Reduce it down evenfurther at the end (by sim-mering some of the watercontent out) and replen-ish with some whippingcream and you now have arosé sauce for those specialoccasions when caloriecounting is not on yourpriority list.
Any ground meat (beef,pork, chicken, turkey,lamb, etc.) cooked up atthe beginning of the pro-cess will magically trans-form this rustic tomato or
rosé sauce into a heartymeat sauce.
Sausage meat can alsobe utilized in the samemanner by removing itfrom the casings and cook-ing the same as groundmeat. Italian sausage (mildor hot, depending on yourtastes) is wonderful forthis.
A béchamel (whitesauce) is a very simplesauce. Don’t let the fancyFrench culinary namescare you – it’s just milkthickened with flour andbutter.
A little seasoning (salt,pepper, and a pinch ofground nutmeg) and youhave an incredible saucethat can be a blank canvasfor your favourite cheesesto be melted in or tossedwith bits of grilled chicken.Add garlic and parmesanand you will basicallyhave alfredo sauce.
Oils infused with fla-vours and seasonings canbe the base of a tasty lightpasta coating.
Heat olive oil overmedium to low heat andlet ingredients like crushedgarlic, chillies, herbs, etc.infuse their way into trans-forming a ordinary oil intoa savoury enhancement.
These types of saucesare perfect for less fillingside dishes or during hotweather when a heavilythickened sauce is notdesired.
A batch of seasonedsimmered vegetables canalso be transformed intoa smooth sauce burstingwith flavours with thehelp of a blender, foodprocessor, or hand immer-sion blender.
We actually do one withground lamb where it issimmered with a numberof vegetables and herbswith some red wine.
A few good pulses in ablender, at the end of thecook time, alter it into anamazing pasta sauce.
One of the quickestpasta sauces you will evermake is a browned-buttersauce.
It is exactly what the
name states it to be – but-ter that has been browned.Take a hot pan and placea handful of cubes of coldbutter into it. Stir, or liftthe pan and swirl the melt-ing butter, until the butterfoam has just started tobrown and then toss withyour favourite pasta.
Your favorite freshdelicate herb (basil, oreg-ano, sage, etc.) can also beadded at the time of thecold butter for an incred-ible infusion of herbalessential oils.
Although we have allbeen taught never to addbutter to a hot pan for fearthat it will burn, the trickis to remove the “brown-ing” butter before it hitsthe “burning” stage.
Use salted butter tobe more complimentaryin taste, and you’ll haveless seasoning to do after-wards.
These are merely sug-gestions as it would be lit-erally impossible to coverevery single type of pastasauce idea here.
What I want this col-umn to be is an invitationfor you to blow some dustoff your cookbook collec-tion or search recipes fromthe internet.
Pasta is probably myfavourite thing to eat, butI realize with most peoplethat eating is not theproblem; it’s the cookingpart that feels like a choresometimes. Find a way tomake it fun.
When I was younger,one thing I always insistedon when cooking pastawas to listen to Pavarottiwhile doing so.
I still do on occasion,but now it is not onlyPavarotti, but also AndreaBocelli, Josh Groban andothers … and always witha glass of wine.

RiverFest:Inspiredby the Fraser takesplace this weekend
in New Westminster, andwe hope to see you at theactivities at the Quay.
This is an excellentrevision of FraserFest thatsees it combined with theannual “Rivers’ Days”and “Artists on the River”.There have been manyannouncements about thisin the papers.
The Fraser River hasbeen integral to the storyof New Westminster andso many aspects of theRoyal City, from industryand business, to recreationand culture.
The river has playeda vital role from the veryfirst days of this town.
Of course, we mustalways remember thatthe river and the hillsideoverlooking it were majorinfluences in the selectionof this city’s site.
Over all the years thatwe have been telling talesrelated to the Fraser Riveror a broader maritimetheme, a number of stor-ies stand out as favourites.At RiverFest we will once
again be offering all sortsof information on the har-bour tours, from port factsand figures to historicalanecdotes.
But back to the favour-ites, what draws the great-est interest?
Stories of First Nationsand their connection tothis major waterway areimportant, as well as stor-ies of early steamboats,sternwheelers, their cap-tains, passengers, cargos,destinations, mishaps,and even vesselspecifications– how long,how fast, andso on.
The morepopular generaltopics requestedinclude “every-day” descrip-tions – whatwas a voy-age like fromVictoria to Yalein 1863?
What didthey eat? Wheredid they sleep?How long did ittake?
And there is alwaysinterest in stories that takeplace during floods withfast high water, or wintertales with ice in the riverand deadly cold temper-atures.
And of course, accountsof a paddlewheeler sink-ing or a ship explosion arealways in demand.
People like to learn ofthe early excursions on theriver – not the current oneson the MV Native, butrather the ones in the 1800swhen people gathered forfun as a fundraiser or justfor a specific group’s dayouting to, for instance, PittLake or Derby Reach.
There is always amaze-ment when people hear ofband concerts on the riveras the passengers travel toa destination for a supperor an event.
Examplesthat are greatfun to hearabout feature adance, dinnerand programat a townhall in PortHaney whileanother has afull evening’sentertainmenton the wayto and fromthe StevestonOpera House.
The list ofstories is verylong and thetopics range
widely. They might fea-ture the river, the Gulf ofGeorgia, or perhaps a runthrough the Gulf Islandsto Victoria. Maybe that’swhy we enjoy our trips onthe B.C. ferries and the MVNative – so many storiescome to mind. See you atRiverFest:Inspired by theFraser.

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent remainson crucial relationships. This week ends three yearsof relationship disappointment – and, hopefully, endsyour less than shining attitude toward others. (Yes,implication intended.) Your energy and charismaremain high through Monday. This eve brings goodmoney developments, if you think long term. Anaffectionate trend enters your workplace midweek,for most of October – but don’t let stardust make youchase a sweet, success-sapping illusion. Errands,paperwork, details, casual friends fill Thursday toFriday: talk, news or travel inspires you. Gemini aids.Taurus April 20-May 20: This week ends threeyears of hard work. If you shirked work, you’re aboutto encounter three years of consequences via others’responses to your employment efforts. Well, lessonlearned. Whether you’ve worked hard or not, thethree years ahead bring hard-to-seize but valuableopportunities in cultural, legal, love, philosophical,and,most beneficially, educational strivings: these willreward for 10 years ahead. “Truer” love will redeema past mistake. Rest and plan Sunday/Monday. Yourenergy and charisma surge midweek. Money’s luckyThursday/Friday: something new is brewing!Gemini May 21-June 20: You might fall in lovesoon. You’ll be surprised at how much someonewants to please/help you. Falling in love has alot to do with confidence and disregard for theconsequences. That’s why old people (like me)find it so hard to do. This week ends three years ofan over-emphasis on sex, and a grey pall on love.Saturday begins six weeks of romantic courage andintense relationships – friends and enemies! Hopesfill Sunday/Monday. You’re weary midweek, butTuesday begins 25 days of affection in home andfamily. Your energy and inspiration soar Thursdayonward – start something!
Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent remainson home, kids, garden, nutrition, rest, Mother Natureand security. A pall, glue, lifts off these things late thisweek (for three decades). You might need to choosebetween these home interests and outside ambitionsSunday/Monday. A few days of hope, friendlinessand “fun times” begin Monday eve. By Wednesday ifnot before, you begin to glimpse the poetry of love,whether in your situation or someone else’s. Retreat,rest, plan and seek the spiritual (or be charitable)Thursday to Saturday. A beneficial project might beginhere, or in governmental areas.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Travel, communicate,handle paperwork, write reports, do errands duringthis busy but not overly-important week. (There isone significant theme; it drifts just beyond sight– but not beyond sensing: money and sex drift intoan “inspiration” lane now, so follow your hunches inmoney/investments, and follow “poetry” in physicalattractions.) Wisdom comes early week, though youmight not like its insights. Be ambitious, approachhigher-ups Monday eve to Wednesday. Flirtations,popularity, accurate optimism about your futurecome Thursday to Saturday. That inspiration/poetrykick in.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money. Incomeand spending restrictions lift this week, for manyyears. Sunday/Monday are for investigations –though you might not like what you find, you needto know it. Intimacy or money, lifestyle or healthmight be involved. Wisdom, gentle love drift over youMonday eve to Wednesday – and they bring splendidinspiration or intriguing flashes of opportunity, of far-away places, or of love/marriage. All these requirea more intuitive, less logical way of thinking. (Theinspiration continues, like a dream, into Friday.) Beambitious late week – success likely!
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy and charisma,clout and effectiveness continue at a yearly high.Even better, the sober pall that has lain over you forthree years ends this week. Not all will be solved(relationshipsandhome/security remainproblematicalfor some years) but you’ll certainly bounce upwardsoon. Sunday/Monday might signal the end of acertain type of relationship: good. Monday eve toWednesday brings secrets, financial and intimate“openings” and the opportunity to make changes.Your inspiration grows about work and obligations.Late week, learning, love, travel: your choice.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Lie low, rest, contemplateand plan. Deal with government, institutions andlarge corporations. Fulfill old obligations. All thesework to free you for late month and November,when important things will begin (and return). Tacklechores early week. Monday eve to Wednesday bringsrelationships, opportunities and opposition: proceedwith the confidence not of strength, but of intuition:yours is splendid now, and growing. Hopes aboutromance seem unrealistic, but in this fantasy layssolid truth. Mysteries, research, sexual and financialurges come late week: success indicated!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies onwish fulfillment, optimism, friends and popularity,entertainment and light romance. You could meeta good life mate this “year” (to June ’13) so amonth like this one is important – especially asFriday ends a three-year wet blanket on this socialzone, and Saturday begins six weeks of romanticcourage and sudden, intense relationships – butI’m anticipating. Sunday/Monday emphasizethe same old restricted romance. Tackle choresMonday eve to Wednesday. Thursday to Saturdaybring relationships, exciting meetings, new linksand home/privacy inspiration.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be ambitious. Focuson prestige relationships (e.g., butter up the boss)shore up your community reputation, study (then acton) career options, etc. This arena has been a strugglefor some years, but this week sows a change to moreease and happiness in ambition – you’ll agree, in amonth or few! Sunday/Monday fight this trend, so restup, lie low and attend to basics. Care for your children.Romance, creative surges please you Monday eveto Wednesday. Tackle chores Thursday to Saturday– these days begin, socially, to help your ambitions– see inspiration, accept and use it!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: October features gentlelove, intellectual empathy, learning, far travel, legalaffairs, fame, culture, internationalism, compassionand understanding of society’s ways. Soon, you’llexpand joyously into at least one of these areas! (E.g.,travel, succeed at university, fall in love, etc.) Yourcommunication abilities will virtually explode – youmight have to slow yourself down so others can catchup. (Small hints of this Sunday/Monday.) Be home,care for family midweek. Thursday to Friday bringromance, pleasure, beauty: true love? Money/careerinspirations are spot on.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: October promotesinvestments, debt reduction, inheritances, otherpeople’s money, sexual urges, mysteries andresearch, health diagnosis, commitments and lifestylechanges. Long-lasting delays and restrictions lift fromthis general area Friday, freeing you to plunge intothem profitably, successfully, in the month and yearsahead – especially this October to next June, whenan investment in real estate can be a huge lifetimewinner; or sex can create a very lucky child, etc. Youwill be imbued with wisdom about this and othersubjects now, especially Thursday/Friday. Act!
