The B.C. Nurses Union (BCNU) is sounding an alarm after two critical care beds were closed at Royal Columbian Hospital recently.

Fraser Health said it temporarily closed the beds last week until Sept. 30 due to what it called “staffing challenges” caused by a number of staff on leave. The closure reduced the unit’s beds from 18 to 16.

“When you have even two beds closed that’s a concern for us, and a concern for the nurses,” said BCNU vice-president Christine Sorensen.

“Our concern about staffing has been a long-held concern and there aren’t any really good plans in place for coverage when departments are short staffed. There’s not enough attention to training, there aren’t adequate numbers of specialty training programs.”

Sorensen said planning and hiring for vacancies, vacations and work load should be carried out to avoid a situation like RCH where beds are closed in the summer.

Critically ill patients occur year round and those beds are required, said Sorensen.

look at this year and want to be a part of it.”

He sees it becoming a destination festival.

Although he doesn’t think it will attract the 600,000 that Vancouver’s pride parade attracts he does say “we can definitely blow the doors off of New Westminster every summer.”

Gould, however, plans to step down from the board and serve in a more ambassadorial role.

“I’ve taken the festival to a certain level and now I want other people to step up and have it grow up and evolve. From what I saw on Saturday, we’re going to have no problem.”

Capacity not diminished: FH ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

“Some of the patients who are so critically ill will come through the emerg department and if those [ICU] beds are closed those patients will have to wait [in emergency]. Not an ideal situation.

These are patients who require the supervision and care of an ICU not an emergency department.”

Fraser Health’s executive director for critical care Lakh Bagri said additional beds will be opened if there’s a need.

“If a patient requires care only available at Royal Columbian they will receive that care,” said Bagri in an email to the NewsLeader.

He noted 13 additional critical care beds have been added with the opening of the critical care tower at Surrey Memorial Hospital so the temporary closure does not represent diminished capacity in the region.

Bagri said Fraser Health is addressing the issue. “We continue to invest in specialty education training for our nurses and have some upcoming initiatives in the coming months that will increase the number of ICU trained nurses.”

NDP health critic and New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy said it’s incumbent on the government to solve the shortages. She said the BC Liberals promised they would hire 2,200 new nurses, but that hasn’t happened.

“They are very far from meeting that target, but it’s like trying to pin jelly to the wall to get actual hard numbers,” said Darcy. “The staff at RCH will tell you they are short in every department.

ICU is not like any department in a hospital. You can’t just transfer from one department to another.” twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

But really, said McKitrick, the event is all about the food.

And this year’s festival will include almost every expression of cart cuisine imaginable, from Belgian waffles to Filipino fusion to Ukrainian perogies. There’s BBQ for committed carnivores, seafood for particular pescatarians and pakoras for famished vegans.

To wash it down there will also be three beer gardens.

And if festival-goers are so enamoured with some of the dishes they sample they want to try cooking them at home, the Royal City Farmers Market will have a number of its regular vendors set up near the pop-up picnic park.

It all adds up to a recipe for the biggest and best food truck festival around, said McKitrick.

OPINION

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Ahead of the smoke

LAST WEEK:

A lot has happened since Marc Emery went to jail in the United States four years ago.

Not the least of which the state in which the Vancouver pot activist was sentenced to five years in federal prison for dealing marijuana seeds has now legalized the sale of cannabis.

While Emery cooled his heels behind bars in Folkston, Ga., and Yazoo City, Miss., Colorado and then Washington became the first states to allow the possession, use, production, distribution and personal cultivation of marijuana.

Some states have legalized its use for medical reasons. Another 15 states have decriminalized pot while other states have lowered penalties for possession of small amounts to a misdemeanour.

The tide to accept marijuana for recreational use on par with alcohol, complete with all the tax revenues their sale generates for governments, seems to be turning.

In Canada, possession of marijuana in any quantity remains illegal. Although enforcement varies from province to province, even between municipalities.

Vancouver police were unperturbed by the marijuana smoke that greeted Emery’s triumphant return to his hometown on Sunday.

Emery’s incarceration in the U.S. wasn’t his first brush with the law. Nor with irony.

When he operated a book shop in London, Ont., in the 1980s, he was charged with defying that province’s laws against stores operating on Sundays. Since 1992 stores in Ontario can open on Sundays.

In 1991 he was convicted of selling copies of rap CDs that had been deemed obscene and were banned in Ontario. As Nasty As They Wanna Be by 2 Live Crew can now be easily downloaded on iTunes.

It seems once again Emery is on the leading edge of a societal shift.

What we know about the mine spill Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.

As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political

corruption story).

The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years.

Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-

term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system.

Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase.

The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical

engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications.

Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find.

Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.

Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.

No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

For results you can see... #1 Weight Loss Program Sweeping the Nation

Medically Supervised Rapid Weight Loss

Heritage not just in homes

While I support the refurbishment of Queen’s Park Stadium, as well as the continuation of its intended use of hosting high-level sport, I do not support one aspect of the current Whitecaps proposal: for the wooden stand on the stadium’s east side to be demolished.

This wooden stand is built in the tradition of British pitched-roof grandstands, and has significant heritage value.

While it is not currently listed or designated for heritage protection by the City of New Westminster, there are very few such stands remaining anywhere in Canada, and thus it should be protected for the enjoyment of future generations.

The stadium’s wooden stand is a miniature version of similar stands in the United Kingdom that are today protected by English Heritage and Historic Scotland. It resembles stands designed by renowned Scottish architect Archibald Leitch, who built the stadiums of such famous soccer clubs as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

Not many local people seem to (yet) appreciate it, but New Westminster has an absolute gem of historical sporting architecture in its midst.

Rather than knocking down the wooden stand at Queen’s Park Stadium, it should be preserved, and the proposed new stadium stand should be built (in a complementary way) around it.

A second wooden stand previously existed in Queen’s Park Stadium’s outfield, but unfortunately it was torn down in 1979 to make way for additional playing-field space. newspaper ad 4.75” That stand is gone forever, but

we still have the opportunity to save the remaining wooden stand.

One day this wooden stand could become an international tourism draw for what the British refer to as “groundhoppers”—those who visit stadiums to experience their character and aesthetic treasures.

Are we seriously considering simply razing it to make way for an unexceptional modern structure?

As the first incorporated city in British Columbia, New Westminster boasts a tremendous historical legacy.

The preservation of heritage architecture shouldn’t be limited to residential homes—heritage value exists in various city structures, including stadiums.

Devon Rowcliffe Vancouver

doubt others not as much in the public eye.

Waste-to-energy incineration and Multi-Material BC privatize our waste stream, turning over our lucrative recoverable resources to corporate control, maximizing waste, pollution, and our climate change impact.

Our taxes no longer pay for essential services at cost. Now we pay cost plus corporate profit—and lose our commons.

Liberal legislation establishes corporate boards (or contracts out) and gives them control of our public services while maintaining the fiction that these are still crown corporations or government entities. This lets people blame government for rising prices, furthering cries for private services.

How many fishers, boaters and float home residents can afford a 300 per cent increase in moorage? If they get rid of the people on the river, where can we go, and who can afford to replace those of us using our river, and every waterfront commons?

Do they imagine enough billionaire foreigners to keep our economy happening?

Low minimum wage and a rapacious welfare system escalate child poverty, homelessness and social stress.

Tax and user-fee increases, rising home prices—we all know the list—amplify economic pressure and social disorder.

Liberals and their corporate masters don’t seem to realize that pricing citizens out of existence puts their economies at risk as well as ours.

Police Taser incident to be reviewed

Body found

The provincial Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has been called in to look into an incident in Sapperton involving police use of a Taser.

New Westminster police said officers went to a domestic disturbance in the 400 block of Garrett Street about 7 p.m. last Thursday and found a man armed with a knife.

Police said a man’s body was found on the bank of the Fraser River at the east end of Sapperton Landing about 6:45 p.m. on Saturday.

According to reports, it was removed from the scene late Sunday morning. New Westminster police’s major crime unit and the B.C. coroner’s office began the investigation before IHIT became involved Monday. It was not officially handed over to IHIT at that time.

ParticipACTION’S backpack must-haves to encourage active play Parents look to structured activities to get their kids moving, but shouldn’t forget the value of free, unstructured play.

The before-, duringand after-school periods are opportune times for spontaneous, outdoor play and getting to and from places

on foot. For back-to-school, ParticipACTION has provided parents with backpack musthaves for staying active all day.

“Sport leagues, programs and school activities are essential, valuable components of getting our kids to more active, but kids need to do more than that,

and more often,” says Elio Antunes, president and CEO of ParticipACTION. “Our kids are missing out on opportunities for spontaneous movement—such as getting to places on foot and playing freely outdoors. So, let’s pack our kids’ backpacks for active play!”

Stanley Cup to make fire hall visit

Bill Ranford got to hoist the Stanley Cup in June.

The Stanley Cup will be making its second appearance in New Westminster in three years Thursday.

That’s when Bill Ranford, the goaltending coach for the NHL champion Los Angeles Kings, gets to bring the Cup to his hometown for a day of private and public celebrations.

He also brought the trophy to the Royal City in 2012, after the Kings won their first championship.

The Cup will be at Glenbrook Fire Hall, 3:15-6 p.m. The public will get a chance to see the trophy, get their photo taken and enjoy a barbecue put on by the New Westminster Firefighters’ Charitable

Society. Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to the society and Honour House.

“This is a great chance for people of all ages to see the Stanley Cup up close and take a photo with it,” said New West fire chief Tim Armstrong.
