City man probably targeted
Searching: Police investigators look for evidence in the Monday night shooting of a 33year-old New Westminster man in the Brow of the Hill area. The man died at the scene but his threeyear-old son, who was with him at the time, was not physically hurt in the shooting.
BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com
A quiet Royal City residential neighbourhood was rocked by a Monday night shooting that killed a 33-year-old New Westminster man. Nelson Ramirez, also known as Nelson Ramirez Guerrero, was identified Tuesday as the man killed. He was dropping off his three-year-old son at the home of the boy’s mother. The shooting occurred around 8 p.m. in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood, near the intersection of 10th Street and Cornwall Street. According to Cpl. Dale Carr of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, the shooting took place in front of an apartment building at 1006 Cornwall St. “It is believed the victim was initially inside the vehicle when the shooting began,” said Carr in a Tuesday morning press release. “At the time of the shooting, the

victim’s three-year-old son was seated in the rear seat of the vehicle. The young boy was not harmed physically and is currently with his mother.” According to Carr, the man got out of the car after the shooting began and was found on the street, approximately nine feet from his car. Carr told The Record on
Tuesday afternoon that the mother and child are going to stay with friends, although it isn’t a police requirement for them to leave the area. Carr added that Ramirez is not known to police in Canada, but police are aware that a person with the same name as the dead man did have some legal issues in the United States.
According to Kim Bolan of The Vancouver Sun, a Nelson Leonidas Ramirez Guerrero was convicted of telemarketing fraud in Louisiana in 2001, for which he received a three-year sentence. He was deported back to Canada in 2004 and still has an unpaid $37,500 U.S. restitution judgment against him, according to court documents obtained by The Sun.
“We’re aware of those issues in the U.S.,” said Carr. “We have to confirm to ensure that this person is the same as the person who was killed. “Investigators are not yet able to make links to gangs, drugs or organized crime. ... However, they are prepared to say that the shooting had all the indicators of a targeted shooting.”
‘Toxic blob’ found under river park site BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A small portion of the Westminster Pier Park site is home to a toxic blob of unknown origins. A Nov. 8 report to council states that remediation of contaminated soils at Westminster Pier Park has been completed, but recent groundwater testing in the area around Fourth Street has identified a higher concentration of contaminants than what was previously known. The contaminants – chlorinated solvents in the form of dense non-aqueous phase liquid, have been found at depths of 40 to 50 feet.
According to the report, the highest concentrations of these contaminants are located a short distance north of the park boundary, within the railway corridor. “The contamination we found in the area around Fourth Street are a high-risk,” said Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering services. “It’s a high chlorinated solvent.” Lowrie said there are a few options available to address the contaminants that are 10 to 15 metres deep under the park surface. He said they could be excavated out but that may not be the best option because they’re so far underground. “We can contain it and pump and treat
it,” he said. “If it’s not mobile, we can leave it.” Information about the toxic blob was included in a progress report about Westminster Pier Park that was presented to city council on Monday. “The concern is the potential to migrate toward the river,” Lowrie said. “The highest concentration is just offsite in the railway corridor. We are doing additional testing.” Lowrie said the toxic “blob” is about 750 square metres, which is about five per cent of the park property. A previous laundry facility in the area has been ruled out as the source of the contaminants, but the source has yet to be

‘WAIT FOR ME’ WAR TIME PHOTO HAS NOT LOST ITS PULL AFTER 70 YEARS
‘A real tearjerker’
Photo inspires city art project
T
he City of New Westminster is considering ways of commemorating the historical moment caught in Wait For Me, Daddy through a public art installation in downtown New Westminster. New Westminster city council directed staff to pursue opportunities to recognize Wait For Me, Daddy through a public art installation. Council also asked staff to explore opportunities for developing a partner relationship with Tofino, in recognition of the connection between the photograph and Tofino resident Warren “Whitey” Bernard. “Wait For Me, Daddy is an important iconic piece of New Westminster, and more broadly, Canada’s historic past,” stated a report presented to council in June. “The city should carefully consider the long-term ‘big picture’ impact of how the depiction of this moment will be experienced for generations to come.” Bernard supports the creation of public art commemorating Wait For Me, Daddy. Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and cultural development, said the project is at the conceptual design stage and more details will start to emerge in 2011. A location hasn’t been determined for the public art, but Hyack Square and the future civic centre are two possible locations. “It’s really important to do that right and really capture the essence of the photo,” he said. Magirescu said the image is about the poignant relationship between the boy, his mother and father, as well as the soldiers who are marching and will leave to fight in the war. “It’s one of ‘those moments’,” he said about the image. “He (Claude Dettloff) created one of the most iconic images in Canadian military history.” The future civic centre is to be located beside the road where the famous photograph was taken 70 years ago. Bernard supports New Westminster’s plan to immortalize the Wait For Me, Daddy photo in a public art installation, and he’s also impressed with its support for Honour House. Honour House will provide free interim accommodations for the families of Canadian Forces and first responders while they are receiving care in Metro Vancouver. Bernard said some soldiers who returned home from war in his dad’s time had no support systems in place to help them cope with life postwar. He has seen a family member cope with post-traumatic stress disorder, and also watched his own father struggle after returning from the war. “They were on their own,” he said. “I know my dad came back to a broken marriage. He was totally on his own.” Soldiers who had experienced war first-hand had no assistance in dealing with what they’d seen and done. Years later, his own father talked sadly about some of the things that occurred during the war. “He dealt with that for the rest of his life, on his own,” he said of his father who passed away in 1981. “He had a good life. There were issues with dad after the war that were not apparent before the war.” – By Theresa McManus, staff reporter
BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
When five-year-old Warren “Whitey” Bernard came to New Westminster in 1940 to see his father off to war, he had no idea that he would become part of Canada’s photographic history. On Oct. 1, 1940 Province newspaper photographer Claude Dettloff took his famous Wait For Me, Daddy photo as soldiers marched down Eighth Street to board a waiting boat. “Suddenly, in the view-finder, Detloff sees a little white-haired boy tugging away from his mother’s grasp and rushing up to his father in the marching line ... click,” said a description of the moment on the History of Metropolitan Vancouver website. “Wait For Me, Daddy becomes one of the most famous Canadian pictures of the Second World War, and one of the most famous of all war pictures. And it was a fluke, a one-in-a-million shot.” A copy of the photo hangs in Bernard’s Tofino home. Now 75, he knows the photo well. “Lots of recollections of it – the actual moment, no,” he said. “Not until the next day Photo contributed/LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA when it came out in the newspaper.” 60 years later: Wait For Me, Daddy wasn’t the only time Bernard captured the attention of photograWarren “Whitphers; in another newspaper photograph, he ey” Bernard was shown sitting on his dad’s shoulders as was five when soldiers walked over the Georgia Viaduct in he was the Vancouver. subject of the “I guess it was the white hair,” he said about Wait For Me, his knack for catching the eye of photographers.

OUR VIEW
ant for Canadians to set aside time for Remembrance Day and to not forget that the realities of war are still very much alive in the present day. Just this week, it was announced that Canada is extending its presence in Afghanistan for another three years beyond 2011. Though the nearly 1,000 troops will remain in non-combat roles – as military trainers and support staff – it is clear that the need for the Canadian Armed Forces is as urgent now as it was back in
1914, when the world faced the beginning of “the war to end all wars.” There will undoubtedly be political outcry about Canada’s continued presence in Afghanistan. But for one day this week, let us set aside our political differences and do what Remembrance Day is intended to do – honour those who put their lives on the line for the sake of our country and the future of the world. They sacrificed everything for us. Let us, in return, not ever forget.

t was one of those dramatic, game-changing moves that turns a political scene on its ear. And that’s exactly what Premier Gordon Campbell’s stunning resignation has done, but while he’s clarified his personal future, his decision has raised more questions than it answers. So I’ll try to answer a few of them. ◗ What prompted the sudden resignation? Few people expected Campbell to seek re-election in 2013, but I think most observers thought he’d try to stick around until after next fall’s HST referendum. But, as I pointed out in last week’s column, his Hail Mary pass (that provincewide television address) fell flat with the public. His weakened standing with his own caucus was revealed when he did not discipline Energy Minister Bill Bennett and there were emerging signs more MLAs were going to speak out against his leadership. (Of course, history shows caucus members can talk a good game but fail to deliver on promised action.)

Nevertheless, Campbell saw where this was all headed – a potentially ugly, divisive battle in which he would be portrayed as being forced out of office. So he launched a pre-emptive strike and left before he was pushed out. But he’s not quite gone, which raises this question: ◗ Will Campbell try to be an activist premier, even if he is now a lame-duck one? Campbell says he’ll stick around until a successor is chosen and at the time of this column’s writing the B.C. Liberal party had not chosen a date for a leadership vote. If the vote doesn’t take place until February or later (which is quite conceivable), it will mean Campbell will determine what’s in the next budget and the government’s legislative agenda for the coming legislature session. This is bad news for whoever succeeds him in the job. Poll after poll shows voters don’t like what they’re getting from this government, so more of the same from the guy who is a selfprofessed lightning rod is simply going to further cement that unhappiness. And that leads to the next question: ◗ Should leadership candidates try to leave the impression they are actually running against their former leader? This is not unheard of (Bill Vander Zalm did it in 1986). And ◗Campbell Page 7
Politicos have let residents down Dear Editor:
Re: The little community that can, The Record, Nov. 3. I read with great interest the front-page article by Theresa McManus and applaud your whistle-blowing article to bring the train noise/vibration out of the dark tunnel of obscurity into the bright light of day at long last. So much for those that lament the trains were here first. We must commend our fellow Quayside Community Board members, Brian Allen and president James Crosty, and all the other residents of New Westminster who have kept resolution of this issue on the rails. This herculean effort and tenacity over the past seven years in the attempt to drag the railroads into being “good neighbours” may finally get results. How about cleaning up the garbage on the rail right-of-way too?
Thanks also to our MP, Peter Julian, for championing the cause in his private member’s bill in the House of Commons. One wonders, where have our local politicians been on this issue? Must be that “the little community that can” has to be the engine that pulls the major load uphill on this long-standing problem because our local elected representatives can’t – or won’t. In this case the squeaky wheels aren’t getting any local grease! If the caboose load of local politicos can’t be dragged to the table on this issue, then perhaps they should be decoupled from their gravy train positions – just like the railways did when they sent redundant cabooses into retirement. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, the railways’ efforts to shunt the issue to the courts, in order to derail efforts to bring the real issue before the Canadian Transportation Agency, will have the regulatory breaks applied and come to a

screeching halt. Why didn’t they comply with the mediation agreement instead of obscuring the issue with smoke, mirrors and a blizzard of legal papers and become as good a neighbour as the airlines are. The airlines cease activities between at least midnight and 6 a.m. In closing, I have landed at both London’s Heathrow and Toronto’s Pearson airports after circling them until they are permitted to land after 6 a.m. Why can’t the railroads implement a similar “quiet time” or move their nocturnal operations to the Sapperton yard as an alternative? I remain sleepless on the Quay, Ted Eddy, director-at-large, Quayside Community Board
Sapperton rail yard isn’t close to residential area
Dear Editor:
Re: Don’t push trains to Sapperton, Letters to the editor, The Record, Nov. 6. I read the letter from Peter Van Garderen in the Saturday Record. A little clarification is necessary. The Sapperton yard is actually located in Coquitlam, not Sapperton. The Sapperton
yard is bounded by: King Edward Street in the west, Fawcett Street in the east, the Trans-Canada Highway to the north and United Boulevard to the south. This area is surrounded by commercial and light industrial properties. Another proposal the Quayside Community Board has made is that the yard be relocated to Thornton yards underneath the Port Mann Bridge. This yard is about one kilometre from the nearest residential building. However this site is a little problematic and would require a significant investment to build additional tracks, land would have to be expropriated, and an adjustment to the planned South Fraser perimeter road would be required. While this is not impossible, it would be more difficult to accomplish – whereas the Sapperton yard is just being used for storage and could be utilized with minimal investment on the part of the rail companies. Also, once the King Edward overpass is completed (already planned), the rail yard can be expanded to the west up to Brunette Avenue, if necessary, and the rail company already owns this land, and it too is surrounded by industrial and light commercial properties. Thank you. Brian Allen, railway noise committee chair, Quayside Community Board
Campbell: NDP now in a tougher spot ◗ continued from page 6
if the next leader of the B.C. Liberals wants to get back in the good graces of the voters, he or she must appear to be markedly different from Campbell, at least in terms of certain policies. I don’t expect any candidates to say they will repeal the HST, but don’t be surprised if at least one of them promises to shave a point or two off the tax within a couple of years or perhaps even moves up the date of the HST referendum. I also think there’s a chance at least one candidate will promise to raise the minimum wage and perhaps even slow the growth of the carbon tax. Campbell would be against all these actions, but the candidates must realize they have to pay attention to the voters
– not their outgoing boss. ◗ What does all this mean for Carole James and the NDP? The timing of Campbell’s decision has dealt an unexpected and potentially crippling blow to James’s leadership. If Campbell had remained in office until next fall, James would have found it much, much easier to stare down any internal revolt as well as the vote at the party’s convention on whether or not to hold a leadership convention. But with Campbell gone, there is a good possibility the B.C. Liberals will begin to rise in the polls. I don’t think they’ll surpass the NDP in the polls anytime soon, but even closing the gap to make it appear the next election will be competitive will cause a lot of New
Democrats to go into panic mode. And that could be bad news for James. She keeps saying she never expected Campbell to run in 2013, but his decision to quit early has upset the timetable of her ongoing campaign to hang onto her job and stare down her detractors. ◗ Will the next election actually be in 2013? This is by no means a lock. Yes, the date is established in legislation, but a new B.C. Liberal leader could easily move the date up, using the argument he or she needs a mandate from the voters. ◗ Who will win the leadership race to succeed Gordon Campbell? Ask me later. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

Park: Cleanup covered in budget 3.2-hectare riverfront site last year. Last week, he met with representatives of the Ministry of Environment and the City of New Westminster for two hours to discuss the Westminster Pier Park site. “We are not even finished the testing,” he said. “They haven’t figured out the nature of the problem.” Bell said a “toxic blob” of chemicals is coming onto the site from an off-site source. He said this area is now considered a high-risk area, rather than low-risk area, as it had been previously identified. “We bought this real mess for $8 million without knowing the true toxic nature of this blob,” he said. Bell said a 2005 report done by an environmental consultant noted the presence of offsite contaminants. The Nov. 8 staff report indicated that $400,200 had been spent on soil remediation at the site as of Sept. 30. Lowrie said the method used to treat the contaminated area will dictate the cost of remediation, but all

Puri’s best ‘what I did on my vacation’ story Premier’s last press secretary is now back with CBC BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com
Calling it “by far the best ‘what I did on my vacation’ story,” New Westminster’s Belle Puri announced on Monday that she won’t be leaving the CBC and taking on a new job as the press secretary for the B.C. premier’s office. “I am continuing my employment with CBC,” Puri told The Record Monday afternoon. But Puri’s return doesn’t come without some conditions, including the fact you won’t be seeing her on air or on the political beat any time soon. CBC news director and New Westminster resident Wayne Williams explained the two conditions that Puri had to agree to before coming back to the CBC. “First, she can’t be on air until at least after the Liberal leadership convention,” said Williams, “and second, there are very clear protocols that she won’t be covering politics for a long, long time, if ever.” It’s been a crazy cou-
ple of weeks and a tale of two cakes for Puri and Williams. Puri had been announced as the premier’s new press secretary on Oct. 28, but on Nov. 3, Premier Gordon Campbell resigned. Puri gave two weeks notice but she did not officially leave her media job. “I hadn’t quite started my new job,” said Puri. Puri didn’t get into many of the specifics of why she won’t be taking on the press secretary job, but she did say that this “is a decision that everybody is pleased with.” Puri referred The Record to her boss, Williams, who explained the sequence of events that led to Puri’s return. Last Wednesday, Williams was helping Puri cut her farewell cake before she left for a press secretary job with the premier’s office. AndonMonday,Williams enjoyed the sweet cake that Puri brought to the CBC office with “Nevermind” on it to announce that she was not taking the political job and was staying with the public broadcaster. Williams said a unique set of circumstances allowed Puri the option of returning

to a job she’s held for 18 years and a career that has spanned more than three decades. While the premier’s office put out a press release on Oct. 28 announcing Puri’s appointment, Puri gave two weeks notice to the CBC and was technically on leave. “She was not allowed to work for the premier’s office until Nov. 12,” said Williams. On Nov. 3, when Campbell made his 11:30 a.m. announcement that he was resigning, Puri was actually in the CBC office, cleaning up her belongings and cutting the cake for her soon-to-be former – and now current – colleagues. “She didn’t know,” said Williams. “She had no idea. We stood side by side and she was as surprised as anybody … She left here without speaking to me.” Two days later, on Friday morning, Puri called Williams. “She asked what it would mean if she came back,” said Williams. “I’d been expecting the call but I needed time to think about what this would all mean.” Williams then consulted with his bosses and several managers about Puri’s situation.

“The CBC is always very concerned about the perception of conflict and impartiality,” said Williams. “We fiercely defend it.” On the weekend, Williams talked to Puri and said she could come back, but under the two strict, non-negotiable conditions. Williams said the decision was not made lightly. “It was a thoughtful decision,” he said. “We consulted with our head of policy and (several) managers.” Williams said Puri’s responsibilities will now include working on the production side, producing intros, working on graphics and writing for newscasts. “No political stories,” Williams reiterated. “We sent an e-mail out to everybody so that everybody understands....Everything’s out in the open.” Williams said that Puri did talk to him about the press secretary job. “I thought it was a great opportunity for Belle,” said Williams. “I think she understood she wouldn’t be coming back (to journalism). ... She knew she was moving forward into a new world.” But after Campbell’s resignation – and because Puri hadn’t officially left the CBC
– Williams could envision a way back to journalism for his colleague and friend. “She was in the fortunate position of being in a noman’s land where until she finished her annual leave, she was still governed by the rules of the CBC.” And because Puri was at the CBC and not by the premier’s side when Campbell announced his resignation, the stage was set for Puri’s return to a job she technically never left. “If Belle had been behind the premier or behind the management of that message,” said Williams, her return to the CBC could not have happened. “She was caught as off guard as anybody,” said Williams. “She was still an
employee of the CBC on an annual leave. ... She was able to rescind her resignation, with some limitations.” As for Puri, she was back on the job at the CBC on Monday and looked back at the last two weeks with no regrets. “It’s a life lesson,” she said. “It’s life, I have no regrets … Everyone’s been very understanding. … There’s nothing to be sorry for. “I can’t explain why it happened, but it’s an experience. … I have by far the best ‘what I did on my vacation’ story.” For more on this story visit Pat Tracy’s blog, From the editor’s desk at www.royalcityre cord.com

Poetry as performance art
Slam Central Spoken Word Poetry is making its debut in New Westminster with a spoken word poetry event this month. The event is taking place at the Terminal Pub on Thursday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m. People are advised to arrive early as signup begins at 7 p.m. and space is limited. “It’s more performance spoken word,” said Candice James, the city’s poet laureate. “There are winners. We will have judges in the audience.” The event includes a $100 prize for first place, $50 for second and $25 for third. “It should be a great night,” Candice said. “The judges are randomly picked in the audience.” Judges, who can’t be affiliated with any of the participants, hold up scores after each of the spoken word performances. “The poets only get three minutes,” Candice said. “If they go over, they lose points.” Candice notes that poetry slams have been taking place ◗Around Town Page 12

Are You My Daddy? He was quite a tiny fellow, just a baby nothing more, another little victim of this frightfully cruel war, but his mother still was with him to cheer the little chap, to keep the wee man smiling and to shield him from mishap. There’s a mound somewhere in Flanders, where our sergeant lies, just beside the British trenches under sunny southern skies, the baby called him Daddy and watched for him all day, there was no one like the sergeant to romp with him and play. At the station in the valley, the troops were mustering there, waiting for the train to take them to that place “somewhere,” when a pretty little toddler, who escaped his mother’s eye, came marching down the platform – you can guess the reason why. He wanted Daddy badly like these little fellows always do, and he tried to stop from crying although he wanted to, for his tiny brain was puzzled, there were so many there, yet he could not find his soldier Daddy searching everywhere. The little lips were pouting, he felt disappointment keen, and his eyes filled with water, you know the way I mean, yet he felt he must make certain for it would not do to miss, so he toddles to a soldier with his face turned up to kiss. Are you my own dear Daddy? He asked the warrior piteously, but I never heard the answer for it was too much for me, one can die for king and country and never count the cost, but only God can settle for what that dear baby’s lost. It lays one out quite helpless, there is nothing one can do, but to let the Kaiser have it, and he needs it badly too, he’s a great big hulking bully, and if perchance we ever meet, I’ll remember the sergeant’s baby and there’ll be no retreat. –Victor Harbord Harbord

16TH ANNUAL COAT DRIVE
A poem written by a New Westminster resident nearly a century ago still has resonance today. A former reporter for The Province, Victor Harbord Harbord also harboured ambitions as a poet and, under his pen name Justin Wilson, his words continue to live on today after being engraved on the Peace Arch at the American border crossing. Yet another poem, Are You My Daddy, included in the 1915 book Through a Periscope that is part of the archives at the Irving House Historic Centre, described a young boy who was desperately trying to find his father among the troops marching off to war. Harbord Harbord never served, although he lost many friends and family to war. “As he put it, he ‘failed’ for the army. His father, though, was a colonel back in Britain,” explained his granddaughter, Lynda Daddona, who was born in 1943, the same year her grandfather died. “That’s how he writes it in a letter; he ‘failed for the army’ so I’m assuming he had some sort of medical problem. But his brother-in-law served there and passed away in the war, and he wrote a lot about that. A lot of the poetry he wrote was based on actual people. A lot of his friends fought in the Boer War.” Daddona has spent a lot of time archiving the writings of the grandfather she never met and, lest we forget, feels they deserve to be remembered on Remembrance Day. “His works definitely hearken back to a more forgotten era, as he was born in 1872, but some of them still fit our problems of today. I feel that this piece, even though written during the First World War, it sort of sums up the feelings of the families today that lost loved ones in a war.”

Provocative play on stage
Provocative. Dark. Brooding. Contemplative. All of those adjectives are being used to describe The Rimers of Eldritch, the Douglas College production running Nov. 12 to 20. But director John Cooper also promises humour and theatricality in the play. It’s set in a decaying town in the American Midwest, and the story focuses on the murder trial of Skelly, a hermit who has been thrust outside of the community for reportedly having sex with a sheep. The play explores the themes of sex, death, judgment and hypocrisy. Cooper says he hopes the play will spur audience members to ask themselves provocative questions. “What do you think when you see this judgment and ostracism end up in death and sadness and belittlement?

rom meager beginnings cutting lemons/limes, stocking beer and hauling ice to reinventing the historic BC Penitentiary, Fred Bilawey has the “Midas touch.” Fred is the brains behind Dublin Castle. His resume reads like a script for a movie. Within days of starting out in the business – barely out of high school – he was promoted to bartender. One year later, he was managing a 300room hotel and nightclub for the Triple Five Corporation. (West Edmonton Mall) Over 20 years, Fred has been fast-tracking his career as a restaurateur/entrepreneur on both sides of the border. Then the 2010 Olympic Games came to our city. Fred was asked to manage a team responsible for serving more than 40,000 meals a day at the Whistler Olympic Park, the Whistler Sliding Center, Celebration Plaza and Brandy Wine False Security. “Vowing to take a year off after the Olympics, I stumbled across a prison guard house in July, which I ultimately transformed into a castle 60 days later,” he chuckles. Thus the Dublin Castle Neighbourhood Grill was born October 1st. This is no ordinary Irish Pub; expect cuisine that is far from the average pub fare.
When you walk into Fred’s 88-seat sports-theme pub, expect Cheers-style welcome and mouthwatering homemade dishes. Begin your culinary journey with sweet chili beer battered steak cut onion rings or its popular chicken quesadilla or the Princess Prawns, to name just a few. On these cool fall days, warm your hands and palate on a steaming bowl of its creamy chicken and corn chowder or any one of its daily soups, made fresh every day. When it comes to entrees, customers are already raving about signature dishes such as the Steak N’Guiness Pie and the Chicken Pot pie, both made in-house. When it comes to beer, you can choose between Guiness, Harp and Kilkenny on tap. “During each televised Canucks game and every Sunday, the Dublin offers $11.99 jugs of Dublin lager,” says Fred. In just a few short weeks, the Dublin Castle has become the “place to be.” Already, Fred has amassed a loyal clientele who tell him they return for the warm, cozy and inviting ambience and of course, the delicious gastronomy. Dublin Castle is located at 319 Governors Court. For more

Vaudeville performers help Douglas College THE LIVELY CITY JULIE MACLELLAN
D
ouglas College is getting a helping hand from a group of entertaining seniors. The Vaudevillians are staging a performance in support of their Douglas College performing arts bursary, Nov. 13 at the Surrey Arts Centre. Shows are at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. It’s their seventh annual performance for the cause.

Labels can be limiting HEALTHWISE
DR. DAVIDICUS WONG
I
advise my patients to read labels while grocery shopping so that they may recognize the nutritional value of the food they eat, including the sodium, fat and carbohydrate content. Here labels are informative and helpful. Yet labels, when applied to people, are not such a good thing. They may limit how we see others and how we perceive our own selves. As a speaker for the Canadian Diabetes Association, I am familiar with their sage policy that we not refer to people with diabetes as diabetics. This makes perfect sense to me. People may have medical conditions, but they are not the conditions themselves. In health care, we treat people, not conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and
multiple sclerosis. We help our patients manage these conditions in the context of their whole lives. That’s why management has to be tailored and fine-tuned to the unique complexities of each individual’s life. If we are too diseasefocused, it is easy for health care providers to become too dissociated, cold and clinical, failing to recognize the person with his or her unique priorities, fears and goals. The tendency in medicine is to use our diagnoses as labels. A surgeon or operating room nurse may refer to the first patient of the day as the 7:30 gallbladder. In rounds, we might refer to Mr. Jones as a diabetic or hypertensive. Patients can label themselves when they are first diagnosed with a chronic condition. A first heart attack can sometimes be a wake-up call for a man to give up smoking, attend to his diet and reduce his other risk factors. Some, however, become demoralized and give up altogether, seeing themselves as damaged goods on borrowed time. When first diagnosed
with diabetes, some patients are in denial and fail to make lifestyle changes and monitor their condition while others take on the label of diabetes as a harbinger of impending doom. Those with a balanced approach do best. They accept the diagnosis of this chronic condition as life-preserving and lifeenhancing news. They learn what areas of their health require more attention and how lifestyle changes reduce the potential for complications that would otherwise threaten their eyes and kidneys and the circulation to the heart, brain and feet. With knowledge comes power and a greater sense of control. There has never been a better time to be diagnosed with diabetes. Though we don’t have a cure yet for this often-hereditary metabolic condition that, if poorly managed, will increase one’s risk complications, it is highly treatable. We are diagnosing more people earlier when positive changes will have the greatest positive impact in delaying progression and
complications. Physicians and health care teams in B.C. are more informed and organized than they’ve ever been in history to provide support and assistance to individuals to self-manage this condition in the context of their unique lives. Moreover, people diagnosed but not labelled with diabetes have as an invaluable resource the Canadian Diabetes Association – a “club” they are privileged to join. On Sunday, Nov. 14, World Diabetes Awareness Day, I will be speaking on Improving the PatientPhysician Relationship: Getting the Care You Need at the Canadian Diabetes Association and the B.C. Association of Podiatrists’ Live Well With Diabetes free public health forum. It’s taking place from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Marriott Pinnacle Hotel, 1128 West Hastings, Vancouver. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician at PrimeCare Medical. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper and his internet radio show, Positive Potential Medicine can be heard on pwrnradio. com.

Caution: Bad winter ahead!
Prepare today with a BCAA Membership! A dead battery or locking your keys in the car can become potentially dangerous when the weather turns nasty. And with all the talk of a harsh winter on the way, it’s time to think about a BCAA Membership to protect the ones you love. With BCAA’s legendary Road Assist service, you can be certain that help is never far away.
We are in for a cold and stormy winter.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac and local weather forecasters predict that we will be experiencing one of the coldest winters on record, with the heaviest snowfalls in mid- and late December and late February.
Will your car be ready?
One of the best ways to be prepared for the severe weather on its way is to be proactive.
One line of attack is a BCAA Membership.
According to Colin MacPhail, Director, Membership Marketing and Product Management at BCAA, many people wait until the first snowfall to call and by then BCAA is already very busy responding to their existing members. “When it cools down, our call centre gets flooded with phone calls, so we are telling people not to wait until their lock freezes or their car won’t start to call us,” says MacPhail. Meanwhile, winter driving can be rough on your car, which is why it is important to properly winterize your car to avoid costly car repair problems later. Fall is the best time to get your car ready for old man winter.
Here are a few things you can do right now:
Check to ensure you have the proper winter antifreeze and keep it topped up at all times; check tires for tread wear (snow tires are optimum); and have an emergency kit in your car at all times - it should include a shovel, sand for weight and traction, tire chains, a blanket, water, food, candles, a flashlight, a reflector and flares. “Should you get stuck on the side of the road for a few hours, someone should know of your trip plans and when you are to be where,” says MacPhail, adding to always have your cell phone fully charged when going on a long trip.
A membership offers great peace of mind and wonderful benefits.
On top of reliable roadside assistance, members also have access to thousands of Show Your Card and Save partner locations across North America where you can save on travel, hotels, car rentals and much more!
The price for peace of mind?
For details call 310-2345, click on www.bcaa.com or visit your nearest BCAA office.
Less than $100 for an individual membership and even less to add an additional member.

It’s South and Central all over again BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
An all-Burnaby matchup will decide which high school team will earn a berth into the upcoming B.C. high school boys’ soccer championships. District playoff champion Burnaby South Rebels dropped a narrow 1-0 decision to Sentinel at Burnaby Lake Sports ComplexWest on Monday. Burnaby/New Westminster No. 2, Burnaby Central, defeated North Shore runner-up West Vancouver 3-1 Monday to advance to the final qualifying game against South. Josh Hardy, Rajan Rakhra and Amar Omerovic, with the firsthalf game-winner, scored single goals for Central. “It’s going to be a good game. It’s time for some payback, I guess,” said Rakhra, who put the game out of reach late in the second half after West Van capitalized on a long throw-in earlier in the period. Last week, South stunned the previously undefeated Central Wildcats 3-2 in the district semifinal playoff round. But Rakhra believes it will take a better effort today (Wednesday) in order to beat Central for a second time and earn the final qualifying berth into the provincial championship tournament. “We have to work hard, play as a team and everyone has got to give it their all,” said the Grade 11 forward. South was beaten on a thundering blast from Sentinel central midfielder Curtis Helm midway through the second half. Helm, who plays under-18 Metro soccer

The North Shore champs looked like they would have their way with South at the beginning of the game. But the Rebel defence withstood the early, firsthalf barrage and finally
settled into a pattern and played Sentinel even-up for most of the remainder of the contest. “I knew it was going to come down to who got that first goal,” said South head coach Frank Giallonardo. But South did not wilt. The Rebels turned on the pressure and had arguably their best chanc-

Der was one of just three B.C. athletes named to the national u-17 national team. Canadian national women’s team head coach Allison McNeill also had a hand in the recruiting, recommending Der to the Boise State coaching staff.

the win by Central sets up today’s playoff match with the winner advancing as the No. 2 BNW/North Shore zone seed into the B.C. high school championships, which will be held Nov. 25 to 27 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West. “Central has a strong team and they’re not going to come out lax (like they did in the last game),” said Giallonardo.

quarterback Serafino Gentile got things rolling with a 32yard touchdown strike to Jeremy Wilson. James Belgrave then broke free for an 83-yard touchdown run and Manraj Bains also scored off a long 70-yard run. Both Hyack running backs rushed for more than 100 yards in the first half. David Ramirez and Robert Arciaga also rushed for TDs. Jonathan Lopez, in just his second game back off injury, intercepted a pair of passes for New Westminster in the lopsided contest. Turnovers are an element of the game which Lalji would like to see more of against the quick, run/pass offence from STM. The Hyacks will take on the Knights at Thunderbird Stadium in UBC Saturday.
