The cities of NewWestminster and Coquitlamhave managed to bridgetheir differences in the ongo-ing Bailey bridge saga withan agreement that means atwo-lane crossing in the BraidStreet industrial area.

New Westminster had beenpushing for the controversialcorridor to retain a single-lane crossing when the agingbridge was replaced, but anarbitrator recently sided withCoquitlam’s call for a two-lane bridge.

“Obviously, we had to workwith what the provincial arbi-trator had decided there, andI think it was in the best inter-est of both municipalities towork together to basically putforward what the arbitratorhad made in their decision,”said acting mayor JonathanCote. “It was important forNew Westminster to kindof sit down and work withCoquitlam and get this pro-cess moving forward. I thinkin those discussions we wereable to utilize the work we’dalready done with respect tothe replacement of the single-lane bridge, which was thework we had already started,so that bridge will be able tobe used.”

The city’s main concernwith a two-lane crossing wasthat a second lane wouldencourage even more traffic

Colours of the city: Dave Hay is the manager and head gardener at 508 Eighth St., where the luxuriant display of flowers attracts atten-tion from residents and visitors alike.

It’s just bloomin’ beautifulA local apartment is decked out in flowers,

but the welcoming atmosphere doesn’t end atthe front door.

In a neighbourhood home to many of NewWestminster’s lowrise rental buildings, LibbyManor sets itself apart from the others withthe flower baskets that adorn its Eighth Streetfrontage each spring and summer.

“We are well known for doing this,” saysbuilding manager Dave Hay. “I get compli-ments wherever I go. People talk to you asthey walk by – ‘Oh, how nice the building

looks.’”A former tenant of Libby Manor started

the patio gardens years ago, a tradition thatHay and Christina Leong have carried on.

“We have been doing it for years and years.Mary thought she would get some flowersgrowing. The couple next door thought thatwas cool and they got some planters going,”Hay recalls. “Before you knew it, we got thewhole front going.”

Each spring, Hay scrubs down the whiteplanters that line the first-floor patios of thebuilding and gets to work planting assortedannuals to brighten up the building.

“This year, we spent $1,200 on it. Last year

it was $1,000,” he says about the flowers andsoil purchased each year. “Why do we do it?Just the joy of doing it.”

But that’s just the beginning, as the flowersrequire daily watering and deadheading tokeep them looking spiffy all summer long.

“We try and keep it really multi-coloured,”Hay says. “This year, we spent a bit morebecause we tried some flowers we didn’thave before. They were really beautiful.”

Libby Manor’s planter boxes have madeit a bit of a landmark in the Brow of the Hillneighbourhood, with people often stoppingby to comment on the flowers and others

An inspection program aimedat making sure lowrise apartmentbuildings are safe as possible iswell underway.

Earlier this year, NewWestminster Fire and RescueServices established two task forc-es of firefighters to address thecity’s inventory of buildings offive storeys or less. The Jan. 31 fireat a lowrise apartment at 404 AshSt., which destroyed the buildingand left about 36 tenants withouthomes, provided the impetus forcreating two task forces with twofirefighters each.

“We are just under halfwaydone,” said Deputy Fire ChiefJohn Hatch. “It’s a two-year proj-ect.”

Inspectors and fire suppressioncrews also do inspections, but the

bulk of the inspections being doneon lowrise buildings are membersof the task forces, which consistof firefighters who have been sec-onded to this special project.

“We have got about 470 prop-erties that we have put into ourinventory that we will be lookingat in this task force,” said DeputyChief Jim Wishlove. “To date, wehave visited just over 41 per centof them.”

The task force has been inoperation since the end of April.The fire department and the fire-fighters’ union reached an agree-ment that allows inspections tobe done seven days a week and atdifferent times of the day.

“We are currently just finishingoff what we consider the high-riskbuildings, and then we’ll moveon to the medium- and low-riskbuildings,” Wishlove said. “Weconsidered it a reasonable prioriti-zation to get those done first.”

Looking at the 470 proper-ties to be inspected, fire officialsassessed the buildings’ risk levelbased on factors such as age ofthe building, the fire protectionsystems in place, the number of

residents, and history of calls forservice with respect to fires oralarms.

“If those numbers are high,then we consider the building highrisk in our opinion, not so muchthat it is a danger to live therebut we’d want to pri-oritize that inspectionbefore a building thatwas brand new thathad never had a callfor service,” Wishloveexplained.

During their visit,firefighters wouldlook at items such assprinklers, alarms andalarm panels, extin-guishers and hosecabinets.

“We would alsotake a look at access,egress for the tenants.What we are reallyfocusing on and trying to raise theawareness for building manage-ment folks themselves is the man-agement of their own fire safetyplan,” Wishlove said. “All of thesebuildings are obligated under thefire code to have a fire safety

plan. In that plan, it is basically auser’s manual on how to manageyour building with respect to hav-ing the systems inspected prop-erly, conducting fire drills regu-larly, keeping those maintenancerecords and documentation in the

fire safety plan.”Of the inspections

done to date by thetask force, Wishlovesaid about half havebeen satisfactory anddon’t require any fol-lowup at this time.

“The other halfwe are following upbecause there wereitems that need tobe re-attended andfollowed up on,” hesaid. “They vary fromanything that is reallyminor to somethingthat is significant.”

Significant fire safety concernsfor the fire department would beitems such as a non-functioningalarm panel that has been faultyand needs immediate mainte-nance, fire doors that have been

removed (perhaps to accommodate movingor ventilation) and cracks or missing ceilingtiles between floors or holes in walls wheresome maintenance or damage was done andhasn’t been repaired.

“That is a prime place for fire to spreadfrom suite to suite,” he explained. “We typi-cally like all of those tidied up so if there isa fire, it will be contained and allow oursuppression crews to get there and suppressit easier.

The Ash Street fire highlighted the needfor the fire department to take some “dras-tic, proactive action” on the inspection front,Wishlove said.

“I think, in many different aspects, ithas been a brilliant process,” he said. “Forour staff in particular, it’s been great. It’sreally forced us into the community and toconnect with these building managementpeople and introduce ourselves and createthat understanding and that relationship.It’s also given us a really clear picture as tothe state of these properties and to see thegeneral level of understanding with respectto the fire code and regulations. We havelearned an awful lot about what’s going onin our community.”

On the other side of it, Wishlove said theprocess has created some understandingamong management companies about whythe fire department conducts these inspec-tions and why various requirements are inplace.

“It’s not simply because we are trying tobe ogres and draconian,” he said. “There arereally good practical reasons for these firecodes and the things they are asking.”

using it as a point of referencewhen giving directions in thearea.

While the Brow of the Hilland adjacent Moody Parkneighbourhoods have anabundance of rental build-ings, Libby Manor’s plantershave enticed tenants to movein.

“That’s a big draw,” hesays. “Many people havemoved in because of the waythe building looks.”

D.D. Desrocher had justmoved into a nearby highriseand went for a walk throughthe neighbourhood to get herbearings, when she spottedLibby Manor.

Seeing the flowers, sheinstantly wanted to movein – and she did as soon asher lease was up and a unitbecame available.

“It’s a jewel, just a littlejewel,” she says.

The flower planters, how-ever, are just a hint of thewelcoming vibe Hay has triedto create inside the LibbyManor. The lobby featuresseveral sofas, an artificialfireplace, tables and a stereoplaying music – and sea-sonal decorations for Easter,Halloween, Valentine’s Dayand Christmas.

“It’s just lovely,” Hay says.“It’s like home here. Theyreally enjoy it here.”

Tenants often meet inthe lobby for tea and treatsaround 3 p.m., but they gath-er en masse for the annualChristmas party.

“To know we are in theright place, it’s a good feel-ing,” says tenant Violet Szabo.“We feel at home here. Anytime we come here, we arehome.”

in an already-congestedarea, and that traffic wouldbe backing up against thebusy railway corridor.

“Brunette Avenue isalready one of the busierintersections in MetroVancouver,” Cote said. “It’snot one of those intersec-tions you would want to beencouraging more traffic tocome in to.”

The city will moni-tor the impact of the newtwo-lane crossing once it’simplemented. If issues arise,the city will take a look atoptions to mitigate some ofthe negative impacts, Cotesaid.

“From the city’s perspec-tive, we’re obviously notexcited about going throughthe process, but it was oneof those things after theprovincial arbitrator madethe decision, we had to sitdown and work with theprovince and with the Cityof Coquitlam,” he said,“and we feel we’ve donethat and done the best wecan with the circumstancesto try to protect the inter-ests of the residents of NewWestminster.”

The two sides haveagreed that the existing

structure, which crossesthe Brunette River near theBraid Street industrial area,will be replaced with twosingle-lane Bailey bridgesto allow for two-way traffic. Onespan will alsoinclude pedestrianand bicycle path-ways.

A single-lanebridge has beenacquired by theCity of NewWestminster andwill be used for oneof the crossings.The B.C. Ministryof Transportation andInfrastructure has agreed toprovide, on loan, a secondbridge.

The total cost of thisreplacement will be sharedby both cities and is esti-

mated at approximately $1.2million, including the costof the ministry-suppliedbridge to be paid after threeyears, the release states.

The previousone-lane Baileybridge crossingwas closed tovehicular trafficin March whenan engineer-ing inspectiondeemed it struc-turally unsound.Work on instal-lation of the twobridges will startimmediately and

is expected to be completein mid-September.

Until a replacementbridge is operational, thecrossing will be closed to alltraffic including cyclists andpedestrians.

Schnee said the project had

Canada is safe.The last time crime rates were this

low the Post-It hadn’t been invented andThe Beatles were together.

So why are theConservatives spearheadinga multibillion-dollar prisonexpansion?

The Tories seem deter-mined to convince Canadians they don’tfeel safe and facts be damned.

Besides the obligatory oppositionfrom the NDP and Liberals, the idea of

prisons solving problems got a scathingreview in Texas.

Yes, you read that right. Even Texashas figured out something that Canada

apparently has not.Not too long ago, Texas

was locking up more crimin-als than Canada ever could– approximately five per cent

of the adult population – but it wasnever enough.

Eventually, the Lone Star state tookmoney earmarked for even more prisons

and invested in mental health and drugtreatment.

A budget crisis was averted, theincarceration rate fell and the crime rateplunged.

The union representing Canadianprison guards has also dug in its heelsagainst the expansion.

Prisons have become more crowdedand dangerous, for both prisoners andguards, despite a decade of decliningcrime rates.

Part of the reason is that rather than

focusing on rehabilitation or prevention,the ruling Conservatives favour longersentences while chopping pay for work-ing prisoners and reducing access tolibraries.

The fact is, longer prison sentenceshave only ever resulted in higher recid-ivism rates.

Surely, the way to combat that trendis not to put more poor and poorly edu-cated ex-cons on the street.

Every Canadian should feel safe thesedays – except maybe the ones in prison.

Aboriginal bandsopen financial booksIt’s the level of government

very few British Columbiansever think about. More than

200 aboriginal bands, each withelected chiefs and councils, man-aging hundreds of millions ofdollars in federal and provincialtax money.

This week, for the very firsttime, taxpayers and the bandmembers who castballots to elect thosechiefs and councilsare getting to see thefinancial statementsand political salariesfor those bands.

The information is beingposted to a new federal govern-ment website following lastyear’s adoption of a law mandat-ing that these financial reportsbe put online. The CanadianTaxpayers Federation, alongwith advocates and whistleblow-ers in several First Nations com-munities, had been calling forthis since 2009.

As of this writing, only 15of the 205 B.C. bands had theirinformation posted. More areexpected in the days and weeksto come, but even this samplereveals some very interestinginformation.

The Tk’emlúps band paidits chief, Shane Gottfriedson,$92,352 last year. Becausethat salary is tax-free, it’s theequivalent of making $128,000off-reserve – far more than themayor of nearby Kamloops, whowill make $85,754 next year.Gottfriedson leads a communityof 1,058, half of whom live off-

reserve; the mayor of Kamloopsgoverns a city of 86,000 people.

Tk’emlúps also paid six coun-cillors salaries ranging from$79,840 to $84,580 tax-free; farmore than the $24,811 Kamloopscity councillors make.

Jason Louie, chief of the235-member Lower Kootenayband, made $60,000 tax-free last

year, the equivalentof $76,500 off-reserve.Creston Mayor RonToyota made $23,632for governing morethan 5,000 people.

Snuneymuxw First NationChief Doug White made$108,022 last year, the equivalentof roughly $155,000 if the salarywere taxed. He governed a com-munity of 1,716 – 1,014 of whomlive off reserve. Nanaimo MayorJohn Ruttan made $84,370 forleading almost 85,000 people.

One Snuneymuxw councillormade more than $300,000 lastyear, with the disclosure notingit was for “construction-relatedservices,” and excluding thecost of delivering those servi-ces. By making this disclosurepublic, Snuneymuxw memberscan ensure this work is beingdistributed fairly, and that thecouncillor is stepping out of anycontract award votes.

How do these chiefs get awaywith making so much money?In part, because very few peopleactually knew they made thatmuch. For a lot of bands, pol-itician salaries were a closelyguarded secret.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Parents aren’t customersDear Editor:

Never mind the factory line preparation plans out-lined in the B.C. Liberals’ “Blueprint for Education,”the Liberals have already made our education sys-tem a corporate affair. By giving back $40 per dayto parents for their losses they are continuing theirreframing of the purpose of public schooling.

Parents are not our “customers.” We do notteach children so that their parents are free to work,knowing their children are safely off the street.

Education is a public service provided to allof society. This is why it is paid for by everyone,irrespective of the number of children born to them.Even limiting my argument to merely economicgoals (the only kind recognized by our govern-ment), the nurturing of each child’s creativity andpotential is an investment in a vibrant and diverse

economy.With this $40/day offer, the B.C. Liberals have

made a clear statement about how little they valueour most precious and valuable resource. To them,the purpose of school is keeping kids off the streetsto allow the workers of today to show up on timeand providing toiling backs for the mines and gasfields of tomorrow; I say this is a very poor planwith small potential and very limited returns.

That money does not belong to parents. Theyare not the ones who truly suffer when our kids donot receive an education, although the short-termfrustrations they feel are real, and I honestly sympa-thize (I am a parent too, and suffered huge amountsof stress when quality, affordable child care wasn’tavailable – another huge drain on our economy butno time for that here).

up – a massive lump of dirt and gunk bul-ging under the rug.

That money should go to all of us, thecitizens who depend on the benefits of aneducated society. To the employers whowill struggle to find employees with thethinking capacity and skills to make theirbusinesses successful.

But mostly, it needs to go to the chil-dren. It is their future prosperity andsuccesses that are being sold down riverso that a small handful of folks today canenjoy the nice presents they got from thisgovernment when it chose to cut taxes forcorporations and the wealthy rather thankeep funding public education for all.

Instead of lamenting the high cost offunding education properly, and focusingso strongly on parents’ present financialstrains, we all need to focus on the long-term costs for these children of ours if wekeep them in crowded classes and denythem the support they are desperatelymissing.

Press off base on militaryDear Editor:

Re: Heed lessons from First World War,Opinion, The Record, Aug. 1.

Good day, I have served Canada in theCanadian Forces for 30 years, and I amappalled.

Your paper should be honouring the60,000 Canadians that died in the GreatWar. In the Royal Westminster Regimentalone there were 998 killed in action. Yes,these were members of our community,like the Trapp family, for example. I reallythink comparing my great-uncle H.G.B.Miner, VC, to a slave in the Southern Statesof America is disgusting.

Is that what your paper thinks ofVictoria Cross winners?

Mr. Bob Groeneveld should read andstudy his history before he puts in printthat all our commanders were inadequateand generals didn’t care.

Well, you are wrong. We had some ofthe best commanders, Gen. Sir ArthurCurrie was the best. He would plan battlesand wasted ammunition before lives. Thisis well-known. Mr. Groeneveld wouldknow this if he studied the Great War.

The battle tactics, at first, were outdated,but by 1917 they developed and we wastedmore ammo than lives. Many of the tacticsare still used today. Also you may want tomention that Canada executed 25 soldiersin the Great War, and none of them wereshot for breaking a stride when going intoan attack. They were shot for murder anddeserting, prior to going into battle.

The majority of casualties in the warwere artillery not machine gun fire. As fornot being allowed to take cover, well, youare wrong again.

In 1917 when troops moved, they wouldhave artillery fire in front of their advanceand machine gun fire over their headsto cover the advance. They would alsouse shell holes to take cover if the battlestalled, then support fire would be calledand sometimes acts of gallantry.

I think Groeneveld should read upon the last hundred days of the war. Hewould then learn how advanced tacticswere and how the Canadian corps werethe shock troops on the Western Front.

In conclusion, I am very unhappy withthe article. You have insulted many veter-ans, then and now. War is not fun or good,but sometimes it needs to be fought. TheGreat War was one of those wars, like theSecond World War.

When you have dictators killing andoppressing people for world domination,it’s our duty to stop this.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The New Westminster Record is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing

the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member

newspapers. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you

may contact the B.C. Press Council. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bcpresscouncil.org.

The Squamish Nation,for example, told one of itsmembers that they were“prohibited by law to dis-close the specific salariesof individuals.” This wasutter rubbish; even if theirdubious interpretationof the law was true anddidn’t fly in the face ofwhat the federal govern-ment said, the chief andcouncil could have waivedtheir right to privacy andreleased the information.

Thanks to this new fed-eral law that information

will (soon) be online forall to see.

The difference betweenthe salaries of elected offi-cials on reserves versusthose in municipal hallsreinforces the value ofmaking this informationpublic.

In Nova Scotia, a newchief has already beenelected leader of theAnnapolis Valley FirstNation on a platformpromising members theycould set her salary.

She defeated a 12-yearincumbent and led a pub-

lic meeting where bandmembers voted to cut thechief’s salary by 60 percent.

Knowing what we’repaying elected officials isa cornerstone of democ-racy.

Hopefully, aboriginalbands see this new law asan opportunity to growtheir accountability totheir members and to tax-payers.

New Westminster has a newhair salon – for geeks.

B-Bombshell Salon has its offi-cial grand opening Aug. 9 andwill cater to the nerdiest amongus.

Owner and stylist Ryan Paulsaid it was an idea whose timehad come.

Paul, a stylist for 12 years, wasworking at an upscale LougheedTown Centre salon two years agowhen he first conceived of open-ing a shop dedicated to peoplewho are fans of, among otherthings, anime, gaming, comics,Star Trek, Star Wars and Game ofThrones. (If you aren’t sure whatthose things are, this may not bethe hair salon for you.)

“I had a lot of clients that camein that weren’t super into fashion.They like video games and com-ics and (are) kind of geeky,” hesaid.

“A lot of them said they wouldnever have come to that salonbecause they felt kind of intimi-dated by some of the staff thatwere there, except for seeing me.”

Paul, 32, describes himselfas a geek and a big gamer – theFinal Fantasy series and World ofWarcraft are two of his favourites.

To help fund his dreamsalon, Paul ran a crowdsourcingcampaign with Indiegogo andraised just over $7,000, and so B-Bombshell was born. The nameis a play on evil characters, Bob-ombs, in the Super Mario Bros.video games mixed with bomb-shell, as in sexy and attractive.

The shop, located at 808 20thSt. has a much different look thanthe typical salon.

In the waiting area, instead ofcelebrity magazines there are Thorand X-Men comics.

The product shelves are slopedbecause they are based off of thegame Donkey Kong.

The walls are grey withthe deep blue of Doctor Who’stelephone booth, turned timemachine.

Framed fan art, which Paulcarefully collected over yearsof attending science fiction andcomic book conventions, line thewalls.

Handheld game consoles areat the ready for customers to playwhile they get their hair done.

Even the shop voicemailmessage ends with the Star TrekVulcan greeting, “Live long andprosper.”

Paul’s four stylists also walkthe nerdy walk.

Talisa Correa, one of the sal-on’s junior stylists, said it’s excit-ing to have the chance to workwhere she can truly be herself.

“I am geeky and I do hair,” shesaid.

When she was in stylingschool, Correa said, she wasknown as the “geeky hair girl”because of her Star Trek and

Lord of the Rings fandom. Whenshe graduated she worriedshe wouldn’t fit into the ratherconservative beauty industry.Finding B-Bombshell was a rev-elation.

“There is so little judgmentgoing on because you walk intoit thinking, ‘OK, these are peoplewho have probably been judgedbefore and they know that itdoesn’t feel so good, so theyaren’t going to judge me,’” shesaid.

Paul is quick to point out thatwhile the shop is meant to be funand comfortable, he and the otherstylists are serious about hair.

“We are still a professionalbusiness,” he said. “We do nor-mal hair.”

The grand opening willinclude a meet and greet with thestaff and a few of the MainlandMisfits roller derby team will stopby.

Once you’ve figure out how tomake gold out of lead, you don’tjust move on.

Metaphorically speaking, that’sthe story behind New West’s new-est theatre company: AlchemyTheatre.

The group launches its first pro-duction – Shakespeare’s TwelfthNight – at the Bernie Legge Theatrein Queen’s Park Aug. 13.

Its eight founding memberswere first thrown together atthat same venue this spring dur-ing a Vagabond Players produc-tion of Ann-Marie MacDonald’sGovernor General’s Award-win-ning comedy Goodnight Desdemona(Good Morning Juliet).

When the production wrappedup after a magical run, thecast just couldn’t bear to part.“We wanted to make sure that wewould all work together again,”said Karryn Ransom, who hadplayed Constance Ledbelly, theplay’s unlikely spinster heroine,“and the only way we could guar-antee that is if we formed our owntheatre company.”

To really sell GoodnightDesdemona – described by onecritic as “Stratford-upon-Acid”– requires implicit trust amongthe performers, Ransom said.

That might have been onereason the actors in Vagabond’sproduction formed such a tightbond.

Another might have been thegalvanizing experience of beingshredded by an adjudicator at theGreater Vancouver Zone Festivalin May.

“He hated our show,” Ransomsaid, “which we thought wasbizarre because we’d had such awarm response from all the audi-ences.”

After the withering critique,cast member Boris Bilic, a 16-year-old high school student fromRichmond, rallied the troupe withindividual tributes and little plas-tic Oscar statuettes.

“We were all in tears,” Ransomsaid.

It was right about then thegroup decided to stay together byforming its own company.

Since Vagabond Players doesn’tput on a summer play, Alchemywill fill a niche with its inauguralproduction.

“They’re giving us the space,and they’re also financing it,” saidRansom, who has taken a breakfrom acting and is producingthe play. “It’s so cool that they’redoing that for us.”

Alchemy’s debut will be a pre-First World War, Downton Abbey-era version of Twelfth Night – acomedy of errors that centres onthe mistaken identity of a pair ofbrother/sister twins separated bya shipwreck.

It’s a light and breezy begin-ning for the new company, butRansom said the group has itssights set on edgier stuff in the

future.“The time is right,” Ransom

said. “The demographics of NewWest are changing, and I thinkthat this community is thirstyfor theatre that pushes bound-aries, not just your usual farcesand murder mysteries. Those aregreat, but there’s got to be moreon offer.”

If things go well this summer,

Alchemy has its eye on Equus, adark and controversial play writ-ten by Peter Shaffer in 1973 andrevived in London’s West End in2007, with Harry Potter’s DanielRadcliffe playing a young manwho has a pathological religiousfascination with horses.

The Bernie Legge Theatre won’tbe the right space for that piece,Ransom said, and the company

will be looking into opportunitiesat the new Anvil Centre and othervenues around town.

Nudity in Equus will also likelykeep Ransom – a French teacherat Burnaby’s St. Thomas MoreCollegiate – off the stage as well.

“I teach high school at aCatholic school,” she said with alaugh, “so, no, that’s not going towork.”

YOU’VE NEVERRECYCLEDLIKE THIS.

IT’S A RETURN-IT YOU’LL WANT TO RETURN TO.


As mentioned inprevious columns,people seek out

cemeteries as touristdestinations, as culturalvenues, or as links toimportant historicalmoments of all kinds.

After a presentationlast month on symbolismin cemeteries, there wassome discussion aboutfavourite graveyards– places that are special,have a specific character,or qualities beyond theexpected.

Thinking of the manylocations we have visitedand excluding the “regu-lars,” the following areexamples of those thathave special memories.You probably have placesthat you fondly rememberfor a variety of reasons.

Wild Horse Creek in theEast Kootenays, a ghosttown site and gold rushlocation, was once filledwith mining excitement.The graveyard is situatedon a hillside amidst treesthat have grown back in

the once cleared land-scape. Many graves havesmall fences, others leanprecariously, and sometrees grow up within thepicket enclosure.

This is a wonderfulspot – mixing history, riversounds and the heavyscents of a coniferous for-est.

Sometimes one sectionof a cemetery dominatesthe overall area, such asthe Fairview Cemetery inHalifax.

This is the location ofabout 100 burials from thesinking of RMS Titanic.Many of the markers aresimilar in design, rowupon row, some bearingnames, some unknown, allof the same date. An inter-esting and, for some, anoverwhelming site.

There is a commemora-tive grave marker on BattleRock, a small piece of landthat juts out across thebeach into the surf nearPort Orford on the Oregoncoast. A beautiful spot onthe coast, mixed with earlylocal history of homestead-ing, First Nations andthe story that leads to thename “Battle Rock.”

There are many placeswith military graves – sitesthat are often enormous insize, formal and orderly,while others are small, per-haps a single grave.

In Normandy, France,there is much to choosefrom. Ranville is a smalltown with war graves anda simple added feature.On the wall of a nearbychurch tower is a smallsign noting that at thatspot a particular soldierdied. This truly grabs yourattention.

At B.C.’s 150 MileHouse, there is a smallgraveyard overlooking thehighway. Ongoing high-way construction has man-aged to avoid the grave-yard so it remains abovethe traffic. Small fencessurround the sites inwhich there are a numberof graves, though only onemarker is clearly legible.

Very little is known ofthe site or the burials. Anintriguing “unknown”place overlooking so muchhistory.

These are but a tinypersonal sample of spotsthat hold special meaning,character or memories.They are all places thatprompt many great stor-ies.

By popular requestthere will be a presentationon such favourite burialplaces at the HistoricalSociety on Wednesday,Aug. 20, starting at 7:30p.m. in the auditoriumof the New WestminsterPublic Library. Join us.

The New WestminsterKiwanis Clubrecently gave a big

push for play at QayqaytElementary in NewWestminster.

The group donated$15,000 to the fundrais-ing campaign for two newplaygrounds at the school,which is slated to openin September (that’s ifthe ongoing labour strifebetween the governmentand teachers comes to anend).

“The children and fami-

lies of downtown NewWestminster are extremelygrateful for this extraordi-nary gift. The generosityof this group will benefitthe children of New Westfor many years,” parentRhonda Field wrote inan email about the heftyKiwanis donation.

While they’re gratefulfor the generous dona-tion, the school still needs$40,000 to build the twoplaygrounds, which areplanned to be implement-ed over two phases.

“We will be orderingPhase 1 equipment in thenext week for delivery inearly October. We havescheduled a volunteerbuild Oct. 18 to installPhase 1 equipment,” Fieldnoted. “We are hopingto approach a few morecorporations and drop off

donation forms door todoor in the end of Augustor early September.Meanwhile, we are stillapplying for grants, con-tests and other fundraisingopportunities.”

New principalThere will be a new

face at Lord TweedsmuirElementary School comefall.

The New Westminster

school district hiredSandra Cottingham totake over for retiring prin-cipal Patty Farris.

Cottingham comes fromthe Surrey school district,where she served as the

vice-principal of SenatorReid Elementary Schoolfrom 2011 to the present,as a district helping teach-er (special education) from2005 to 2011, as a summer

Mona Forsyth celebrated her 90th birth-day in style.

Forsyth, coordinator of the NewWestminster Food Bank, turned 90 on June27. Friends, family and colleagues held acouple of celebrations in her honour, includ-ing a dinner out at The Keg attended byfolks including Mayor Wayne Wright.

“I walked in and the mayor was there. Isaid, ‘Hi Wayne.’ He said, ‘Hi Mona, I amhere for your birthday,’” she said. “I wasfloored.”

In recognition of her efforts with thelocal food bank, Forsyth was named NewWestminster’s Citizen of the Year in 2009and received the Queen’s Diamond JubileeMedal in 2013.

A crew from the Greater Vancouver FoodBank Society’s head office dropped by theNew West depot to bring birthday greet-ings. The society also arranged for a couple

of Harley-Davidsons to come by the localdepot to take Forsyth for a spin.

“We went around New West,” she said.“It was awesome.”

In her younger years, Forsyth rode amotorcycle and was a member of the GreaterVancouver Motorcycle Club. Although shedoesn’t ride a motorcycle anymore, the NewWest resident shows no signs of taking iteasy.

“I am not slowing down,” she said. “Whythe hell should I slow down?”

Forsyth continues to run the local depoton collection days and pick up donationsfrom organizations.

“I do not eat healthy. I don’t take vita-mins. I sit out in the sun,” she said. “I don’tdo anything I am supposed to.”

Forsyth, who grew up in Vancouver,heads to her old stomping grounds andrelaxes at Trout Lake every chance she gets.

“I just do one day at a time,” she said. “Ihonestly don’t feel 90, I really don’t. I don’tbelieve I’m 90. I am still active.”

My golden ruleof medicine isthis: Treat every

patient with the same careI would want for my bestfriends and family. I orderthe same tests, refer to thesame consultants and offerthe same treatment options.

When I teach medicalstudents about hand wash-ing to prevent the spread ofinfection between patients,I encourage them to con-sider it as an importantritual between closing anencounter with one patientand being fully present foranother.

When health-care pro-viders are rushing frompatient to patient, not onlyare they less likely to cleantheir hands sufficientlywith soap and water oralcohol-based hand sanitiz-ers, they are more likely tobe inattentive and makemistakes.

When we are notobservant, thoughtful andlistening, we miss out onvaluable clues, jump to thewrong diagnosis and failto really help that patient.An experienced cliniciandevelops intuition, and awise one attends to it.

If our diagnosis doesn’tquite match all the symp-toms and physical findingsor if we feel that we aremissing out on some cru-cial information, we leavethe examination room feel-ing uneasy. If we ignorethat feeling and move onto the next patient, we maybe preoccupied and notfully present again. Thiscan have a snowball effectto the detriment of everypatient seen that day.

So I teach mindfulnessmeditation to patients,medical students, residentsand colleagues. With eachpatient’s visit, that patientmust be the centre of ourattention. We must listencarefully, ask the rightquestions and perform anappropriate and focussedphysical examination. Wemust consider a broad dif-ferential diagnosis. Whatconditions may explainthese symptoms and phys-ical findings? We don’tsettle for the most commondiagnosis, especially if itdoesn’t quite fit. We consid-er less common and moreserious possibilities.

We all know that feelingwhen we have a conversa-tion with someone whoisn’t fully present. Theymay ask, “How are youdoing?” but don’t reallylisten to your answer. Theydon’t have to be texting toshow that they’re not allthere.

Health-care providerscan easily fall into a mind-

less routine, rushing frompatient to patient, ask-ing a rapid-fire list of oftrehearsed clichéd medicalquestions, jumping to themost common diagnosis,not really seeing the personin front of them and mov-ing on to the next in line.

If you ever get the feel-ing that the doctor is rush-ing and may have jumpedto the wrong diagnosis,there are ways of triggeringa pause and reflection.

I recommend to friends,family members and anyof my patients who might

be treated at another clinicor hospital – perhaps inanother town – three keyquestions.

1. What else could it be?This forces the doctor tostep back and to reconsiderthe diagnosis. Could it besomething other than theobvious that doesn’t quitefit? Do I need more infor-mation? Should I ask morequestions?

2. What is the worstthing it could be? This trig-gers the doctor to considerworst-case scenarios. Oneof my patients is alive

today because I consideredone of the rare but seriouspossibilities for her worsen-ing sore throat and fever.A day earlier, the nurseattending her during thecolonoscopy told her sheprobably had a cold. Thatnight, the emergency phys-ician prescribed antibioticsfor strep throat. I recog-nized the subcutaneousemphysema – air releasedfrom her perforated bowelthat had tracked under herskin up to her throat. I senther to another surgeon whosaved her life by remov-

ing the injured portion ofher bowel and treated theresulting infection with IVantibiotics.

3. What would yourecommend if I was yourmother (or father)? This ofcourse asks the doctor toconsider the golden rule – agentle reminder that youare someone else’s lovedone and deserve that samespecial attention and con-sideration.

College boomEnrolment hit an all-

time high at DouglasCollege this season.

Summer semester enrol-ment this year is nearly6,300, up 43 per cent since2010, making a typicallyslow period at the collegeincreasingly busy, accord-ing to a media release.

“Summer is traditionally

a slower time, but morepeople are open to study-ing through the summermonths, and we have someunique offerings duringthe semester to encouragemore students,” KathyDenton, interim presidentof Douglas College, said inthe release. “We also havespace constraints at ourNew Westminster campus,so we’re being creative inhow to use the space asefficiently as possible.”

The numbers follow anintentional strategy by thecollege’s administration toadd more offerings in thesummer and utilize spaceas efficiently as possible.

Denton also noted thatfall and winter semesterenrolment is also up 27per cent since 2010, but theincreased use of space inthe summer months hashelped reduce the impact ofthe college’s growth on thelimited space at the NewWestminster campus.

In 2012, the college alsorelocated a faculty to theCoquitlam campus to givethe New Westminster cam-pus more room to grow.

Harper Sherman had a dream ofone day being a Division 1 footballplayer.

Last weekend, the top five-starCanadian prospect made it a reality.

Sherman verbally committed tothe Pac-12 University of ArizonaWildcats while on a NCAA visit tothe Tucson campus for the openingof the varsity team’s fall camp lastweekend.

“I feel great and really excitedabout going down there and play-ing at the Division 1 level,” saidSherman. “It was just a confirmationof all the research we had done. Itwas just the right fit.”

Sherman is the No. 1 ratedCanadian offensive lineman andthe third overall player, accordingto national pollsters. He was alsoArizona’s top recruit on the O line.

The 6-4, 270-pound senior line-man also received Div. 1 offers fromseven other Div. 1 schools, includingWashington State, Cal-Berkeley andOregon State.

Sherman received his first offerfrom the University of Nevada as ajunior. He also received offers fromWyoming, San Diego State and the

University of Texas-El Paso.“I had this dream of being a Div. 1

football player,” said Sherman. “ButI have to keep pushing forward andputting in the hard work. It’s what ittakes to be at this high level.”

For New Westminster Hyackshigh school head coach Farhan Lalji,the news of Sherman’s commitmentwas equally satisfying.

“I’m really proud of him and how

hard he’s worked over the last threeyears,” said Lalji. “In Grade 9, wesat down with his parents and put aplan together. It was neat to see it allcome together. It happened becausehe hit everything out of the park.

“This kid works hard. If you tellhim he needs to work four times aweek, he’ll work five. You want tohelp kids like that. He earned it, heearned it.”

“New Westminster Parks and Recinformed me that the B.C. Lions’ score-board was available,” said current minorassociation president Darren Flintoff ina Salmonbellies’ press release. “Our par-ent company Stonewater Group pur-chased the scoreboard and approachedour sign company Image Sign and

Lighting Ltd. to create a billboard thatwould inspire future generations to carryforward the pride and tradition of theSalmonbellies.”

The junior Aand senior ASalmonbellieclubs both chipped in to raisea third of the overall costs.The remaining one-third wascovered by Stonewater andthe sign company.

The scoreboard designdepicts the historic greenwood floor of Queen’s ParkArena, while its retro designadds a nostalgic appeal,added Flintoff.

“I would like to say abig thank you to my friendsand business partners, Billand Kelly Ranford, alongwith the senior and junior
