Mission’s Howard Overend has been participating in the annual Terry Fox Run for as long as he can remember.

The 96-year-old said wouldn’t miss it for the world and Sunday’s wind and rain did not deter him from com-ing out.

On Sunday, September 20, at Fraser River Heritage Parks, more than 100 people took part in the 35th annual Terry Fox Run, and while Overend may have been a the end of the line, his efforts were recognized by every-one there.

Before the race, Overend spoke to the Record about why he participates.

“My first one was in Whitehorse and I’m not sure of the date. Terry Fox had just died. It was a year after he died,” he said.

And he has been to every race since.He said the event is just one of

many ways he keeps active.“I do keep active, but there’s a limit

to what you can do at 96. I just walk around here. I walk as much as I can.”

Overend, who lives at Chartwell Carrington House on Sixth Avenue, tries to walk for 20 minutes every

Linking generations

Huge medal haul

TD donates $5,000 to program

Representatives from TD Canada Trust present a $5,000 cheque to support the Linking Hands Through the Generations project. Pictured are (from left to right) from the Lifetime Learning Centre President Ian Graham, Kevin Watrin – principal of Fraserview Learning Centre, Diana Muntigl – executive director and from TD Joshua Schedel – branch manager and Selina Clermont and Michelle Walczak – managers of customer service.

Linking Hands Through the Genera-tions is an intergenerational mentor-ship project between youth of Fraser-view Learning Centre/Riverside Col-lege and seniors of Lifetime Learning Centre

The projects goal is to share life experiences and create links between the generations.

Sponsored by New Horizons for Seniors program and in partnership with Mission School District #75, it brings secondary students and seniors together to learn new skills and share knowledge.

For example they encouraged high school students in to learn how to knit, the students likened this to tex-ting and boys found the knitting sur-prisingly relaxing and creative.

The garden was developed in the school grounds and has been a great

way to connect the generations. Seniors teach students how and what to plant and the responsibility of watering and care.

The project also focuses on seniors and students coming together to share and learn new skills where seniors bring tablets, computers and phones to class and students provide hands on technical skills on how to use and get the most out of their devices.

The Lifetime Learning Centre is very grateful for the kind donation of $5,000 from the TD Canada Trust. This will go a long way to help future intergenerational initiatives which can only be a wonderful thing.

To find out more about how you can get involved call 604-820-0220 or visit www.lifetimelearningcentre.org.

Mission’s David Dickey brought home a chest full of medals last month.

Dickey, one of several local athletes who participated in the 2015 55+ BC Games held in North Vancouver at the end of August, won seven individual medals (one gold, three silver and three 3 bronze).

Last year, his first time at the Games, he won two bronze.

Dickey’s best events are the high jump (gold), hurdles (silver) and the long jump (bronze) and triple jump (bronze).

Dickey, who is 61, was also on the Zone 3 4x100m “B” relay team which won the silver medal.

He joined the Greyhounds Masters Track and Field Club last year while training for the BC Seniors Games and competes in the Mens 60-64 age group.

He also participated in the BC Ath-letics Masters track and field champi-onships this year, winning four med-als at the Provincials – two silver in the 100-m hurdles and high jump and two bronze in the long jump and 200-m sprint.

Sixty-one year old David Dickey won seven individual medals at last months 55+ BC Games.

morning. He believes it keeps him in “pretty good shape” and prepares him for the rest of his day.

While he always remains active, the 96-year-old said the Fox run is special.

“Well, it’s inspirational. You can’t read about Terry Fox and forget the fact that he did this for kids who were in hospi-tal with cancer and that’s very important.

“He sort of laid himself on the line to do it to raise money and he succeeded the hard way. The very hard way,” said Overend.

In his own way, Overend has also inspired people. Many of the participants cheered Over-end as be began his run.

While he has no plans to slow down, Overend would not commit to participating in next tear’s run. When asked, he just smiled a little and said “I’ll cross my fingers on that one.”

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.

A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provin-cial programs.

B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress.

Mackenzie says increasing avail-

ability for adult day programs could reduce emergency visits from com-plex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health problems before they produce a hos-pital visit.

One puzzling result from the sur-vey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day. Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is offered.

Mackenzie isn’t suggesting govern-ment-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportu-nities to take a break.

“Caregivers do it all,” she said. “Sometimes it is as simple as driving mum to the doctor’s office. Other times it is as complicated as insulin injections or changing catheter bags.

“Sometimes it is dropping in on mum and dad at the end of the work day and other times it is living with your wife of 65-plus years as she sur-renders to the ravages of dementia, does not know who you are, cannot be left alone and must be fed and toileted.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years, and is working with health authorities to shift from hospital to home-care as the population ages.

Mackenzie said the number of adult day program clients and days utilized has declined in the last three years, and the number of respite beds at care facilities also appears to be down.

The survey found that only half of the clients registered for home sup-port reported receiving a home visit in the previous seven days.

The report and other services are available at the Seniors Advocate website, www.seniorsadvocatebc.ca.

Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which areas close to natural teeth as you can get.
