Three-way mayoralty race in NorthVan City BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

Two of the North Shore’s three mayoral races have been decided before the campaign even begins, with District of West Vancouver Mayor Michael Smith and District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton both

running unopposed.

The City of North Vancouver, meanwhile, has a three-way race pitting incumbent Mayor Darrell Mussatto up against challengers Kerry Morris and George Pringle.

The 2014 municipal and school board elections nomination period closed Friday at 4 p.m., bringing 80 candidates out of the woodwork for the North Shore’s three councils and two school boards.

At the city council table, five of the six incumbents are seeking re-election: Don Bell, Craig Keating, Rod Clark, Pam Bookham and

Linda Buchanan. Guy Heywood is not running for a third term.

New (or returning) to the city ballot are former councillor Bill Bell, former school trustee Dorothy Bell, project manager and former North Van Urban Forum member Tony Valente, Lower Lonsdale minister Dave Janis, restaurateur Iani Makris, renovation contractor and returning 2011 candidate Joe Heilman, project manager Matt Clark, facilitator Kathy McGrenera, physiotherapist and council watcher Amanda

Scott andTwyla Pitman had a straightforward journey from Australia to NorthVancouver — but getting their belongings past the port landed the couple in a bureaucratic labyrinth.

Scott and Twyla and their two young children moved to their new home in Lower Lonsdale earlier this summer, expecting the bulk of their possessions to arrive in late September.

But a shipping container which held the beds for their children, winter clothes, medical records, and work materials was stopped at the port when an inspector found a few of the pallets didn’t have the proper stamp.

“It’s simply a bureaucratic blanket that is falling down,” Scott said.

Bike squad patrols streets and trails N.Van RCMP’s two-wheeled team ready and able to respond to any police call ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

As we turn onto Third Street and pull over to the side of the road to park, RCMP Const. Dave Vunic issues a warning: “I’m going to have to ask you to stay in the car.”

“Is this vehicle bulletproof?” I ask, only half joking.

He quickly releases his seatbelt and is already opening the driver’s side door as he calls back over his shoulder: “You can just lock the doors.”

Although I am not in any danger, too much TV watching has turned a routine call into a Miami Vice scenario in my mind, and I reach over to press the automatic door lock.

In reality, this is simply official police business, and apparently a 30-minute ride-along that morning does not technically make me an RCMP member, so I have to wait in the car.

When I volunteered to do the ride-along with the NorthVancouver RCMP bike squad, there were some things I expected to encounter, such as tight Spandex shorts and sore leg muscles, but neither of those things occurs. Instead, my experience was dotted with a touch of the unexpected.

For starters, I begin and end my journey in an unmarked police SUV. While I sit in the vehicle on Third Street,Vunic is now inside the North Shore Lookout shelter to join his partner Const. Gary Johal and another member.They are responding to a call from a resident that someone else at the shelter has a warrant out for his arrest. As I wait, I watch two other RCMP members who arrive on scene in patrol cars deal with separate, seemingly unrelated occurrences. One officer is checking on someone sleeping in the back of a car, and the other is in a small parking lot on the other side of the narrow street, chatting with a young man.

About a minute after he leaves,Vunic returns. Not wanting to appear anxious, I quickly try to unlock the

doors but the timing doesn’t work out.

He pulls the handle as I press the button, and the door doesn’t open. It takes two tries to synchronize. My plan to play it cool on my first police ride-along has officially failed.Vunic hops back into the unmarked SUV and reports that the call was a fake.The person with the warrant was not at the shelter.We head back up Third Street toward Keith Road, and as we pass the parking lot, I watch as the young man I noticed earlier is placed in handcuffs.

Just then a report comes over the radio: one person in custody.The arrest is unrelated to the original call about the warrant, but Vunic explains there are many possible reasons why it might have happened. I am reminded of something he said en route: police never know what they’ll encounter when they respond to a call.

It is a somewhat exciting ending to an adventure that begins earlier in the morning when I meetVunic and Johal at the RCMP building on 14th Street in North Vancouver for my first official ride-along.

But this wouldn’t be a typical patrol in a typical RCMP CrownVictoria because these two constables are members of the RCMP bike squad.

NorthVancouver RCMP first employed a full-time bike squad in 1992 following Seattle’s lead. Just like members in patrol cars, the bike squad are fully equipped, fully operational and capable of responding to any type of police call.

Although they occasionally receive some good-natured ribbing from community members asking how they transport criminals (on their handle bars?), Vunic explains that bike squad members generally encounter positive feedback.

If they make an arrest, a patrol car will transport the person in custody, but bike patrols can and will respond to any calls in their area that come over the police radio.

When asked how they respond to an emergency without the sirens and lights

When on patrol, bike squad members have the same authority as a patrol car. In non-emergency situations, for example if they are pulling over a vehicle, they will signal to a driver, make eye contact, and tell the driver to pull over to the side of the road. For emergencies, they just get to the call.

“We get there as quickly as we can, as safely as we can,” says Johal.

A big part of the team’s work is proactive policing.

Patrols target high-crime areas including back alleys, parks and trails in the City and District of North Vancouver. And this isn’t

just a fairweather endeavour, patrols roll well into the night, rain or shine, year round.The bike squad also regularly checks in with businesses and community members.

“Visibility is a big thing of ours as well, just showing the community that we’re around,” explains Johal.

“It’s good old-fashioned police work, like street-level police work.That’s the part of the job I love; and Gary, he’s the same.We just like to be on the street, interacting with people,” addsVunic, noting it’s kind of a social job. “We want to be approachable. If people are scared to talk to us or don’t want to talk to us, it makes our job that much harder.”

He says their presence on

the streets prevents crime, and notes that criminal elements know the bike squad is floating around so that puts them on edge.

“Criminals can hear a police car coming just by the sound of the engine,” says Vunic. “We roll in (on bikes), we roll in silent and we’re right on them.”

Being able to sneak up on criminals is one of the advantages of being on bikes, explains Johal, adding a disadvantage is that members are a bit more exposed than they would be in a patrol car. But they always travel in pairs for safety reasons.

“We have a really good team we work with,” notes Johal.

Each member is assigned to the team for a three-year

period, and bothVunic and Johal are entering their final year. It’s a popular assignment, and the unit generally favours applicants who have had experience in patrol cars, and who also have a reputation for working hard.Those who are chosen for the team participate in a five-day bike course that covers basic bike safety, road rules and mechanics, and includes a fitness test.

Most members are cycling enthusiasts outside of work, includingVunic and Johal, and each member is assigned their own bike for the duration of their time on the team. NorthVancouver RCMP has a partnership with Rocky Mountain Bikes, who assist with bicycles and bike-related advice when needed.

At the start of every shift, the team meets in their downstairs office at the RCMP building to review warrants, files and plans for the duty period before completing a pre-ride inspection of the bikes.

The office is where I sit with the constables for an interview in the morning before heading out on our ride-along.While talking about the team’s bikes, which are hanging on a wall beside us,Vunic points out a bait bike used to help catch thieves. Not surprisingly, bike theft is another area of focus.

They let me borrow one of their team bikes and we head out on patrol, but first we have to drive to our start location as the constables correctly assess that the visiting reporter is not a regular cyclist. I ride in an unmarked SUV withVunic to Capilano Mall where we meet Johal, who pedalled his way over. And although he left only a short time before us, he beats us there.

Just before we park, Vunic allows me to check off a bucket-list item when he briefly turns on the police lights, which look just as cool on the inside of the vehicle as they do on the outside.

Unfortunately, he won’t turn on the siren because he doesn’t want to scare anybody.

After unloading the bikes, Vunic notices his has a flat tire, so I join Johal on a quick ride while he fixes it.

We travel a short loop along MacKay Creek Park where we encounter a man named Steve. Johal stops to talk to See Nearby page 8

wasn’t used to carry their goods but another shipment in the 40-foot container.

“There is not a stamp in the right spot associated with a pallet. Not even the goods that are on the pallet,” he said.

The stamp, ISPM 15, is used on wood that’s been heat-treated and fumigated to prevent the spread of insects and diseases.

There is no plan to reinspect the shipment despite a dispute over whether or not the pallet complies with regulations, according to Scott, who’s been in frequent contact with the Canadian Border Services Agency.

If no one manages to “shake some sense” into this situation, the Pitmans’ possessions will be bound for the last port of disembarkation in Singapore later this month.

The family’s property is tentatively slated to be returned around Christmas.

In the meantime, they’ll likely need to duplicate several purchases. “We’ve now spent the money to ship it all over here, and we now have to go out and buy all this stuff,”Twyla said.

Scott said the family has already spent “many thousands of dollars” shipping their possessions.

“It’s physically sitting in the port here right now,” he said.

requirements.

The Pitmans have reached out to North Vancouver MP Andrew Saxton, the CBSA and their own shipping company, but have so far found no signs of a quick solution.

For Scott, the situation is tantamount to re-routing a plane to its country of origin because one passenger was wearing the wrong kind of shoes. “The shipping

contracts are worded in the most unaccountable way you can imagine,” he said.

The cost of sending the container to Singapore and back could be between $15,000 and $20,000. If the CBSA is proven at fault, the Canadian government could end up shouldering the cost. Otherwise, the bill would be split among the 10 parties with cargo in the container.

his weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving, the feast of abundance at the end of the harvest. It’s a time to give thanks for everything that hard work and the natural world provide.

Thanksgiving is about celebrating our bounty, recognizing what has made that possible, and sharing our harvest with others.

This week, two reports focused on food point to Canadian advantages while raising concerns about global problems.

In California, where much of the food we eat is grown, a three-year drought is having a serious effect on crop production. Expect to see greater-thanusual increases in the price of produce this year. Experts say as southern areas are caught in more dramatic climate changes it makes sense for Canadians

to go back to growing more of our own food. The agricultural land reserve is something we could well be thankful for.

Meanwhile another study points to more species of fish being driven north as ocean temperatures rise.

That’s good for Canada, but not so good for many poorer areas farther south with a heavy reliance on fish for their diet.

That’s a climate change story that just keeps getting louder — the way that water, food and basic things we celebrate are under increasing pressure in so many parts of the world.

While we enjoy our own riches, we must always consider our place in the wider community, where all is not well.

When it comes to climate change, many places least equipped for it are reaping what we have all sown.

Watch out for scary zombie drivers Dear Editor: It is nearly Halloween and a word of warning to all who dare venture out onto our roads.

Beware the zombie driver! The sun is setting earlier, and though these spooky creatures are a year round phenomenon, it is when it is dark and rainy that we could fall prey to the undead among us. Of course these are not the only frightening beings out there, but their numbers are significant.

You will recognize a zombie behind the wheel as they will speed through intersections, marked crosswalks, stop signs and traffic lights. Sometimes there is a glimmer of life and the zombie will try to stop their car. Unfortunately

they often mistake the accelerator for the brakes, so next time one speeds up at you, have some sympathy.

You may even get a saggy little wave of the arm, as they drive over your toes.

Even if you make eye contact, remember that they cannot see you.You would do better making eye contact with the local wildlife. At least there you may get a reaction. As for

bright clothing, lights, bells and whistles, you can wear them all, however you are still at risk.

So we ask ourselves how do we go out and stay safe?

Well by all means don a battery pack and buy some of the Christmas tree lights that are already in our stores to wrap around you.

However when crossing any road, make sure that the drivers have actually

come to a stop.This is a sign that it may be safe to proceed and the driver has not crossed over to the dark side.

Do, however, watch out for a zombie coming from the opposite direction.

They are most likely destroying their last remaining brain cells, with a cellphone clamped to an ear and as we now know are unable to operate the

brakes of their car.

Do not ever step out in front of a speeding vehicle, in a vain effort to force a zombie into stopping or even slowing down.That is tantamount to a death wish.

As for all the smug cyclists and pedestrians, be afraid, be very afraid as there are zombies among you too.

morning is growing. Some blow through the stop sign at St. Andrews and 4th. I called city hall and they responded in less than an hour but to no avail.

How do you create affordable housing for the masses? Are we achieving affordable housing in North Vancouver through rampant development?

I not only believe the current development frenzy fails to achieve the goal of more affordable housing, I believe it’s making the affordability situation worse.

I believe that destroying our existing rental stock, without compelling developers to replace that rental stock, at a price point that displaced renters can afford, and in unit sizes which are livable, is tantamount to ‘rent-eviction’. This is morally wrong!

Renters may not be listed on the City’s tax roll, but they still make an equally valuable contribution to the City’s finances, and our local economy.

We must stop viewing renters as visitors. They deserve the same degree of consideration, protection and respect that we afford “FOR A BETTER TOMORROW” homeowners.

There is much hype in the popular media about magic methods of losing weight. These can be herbal-based, like garcinia or fad diets where you cut out certain foods and eat DARYL PHARMACIST only others.

Johal says he has had to arrest Steve on occasion over the years, but they remain on good terms.They chat briefly about conditions that have been placed on Steve, including not allowing him to go to the mall after his recent incident there, and they agree to talk again later.

As we take a brief detour through the nearby trails, Johal shows me the spot where Steve lives: a patch of bare ground with a couple of shopping carts, a blanket, and some other odds and ends.The constables regularly check in with Steve, and when the weather turns they make sure he gets to a shelter.

As we return to MacKay Road,Vunic’s bike is fixed and he is now talking to Steve. I wait off to the side with Johal, as an RCMP cruiser slowly pulls up and parks on the other side of the street.The constable inside doesn’t exit the vehicle, and

Johal explains that she was probably in the area and heardVunic report on his radio that he was stopping to talk to someone. As part of their regular procedure, any nearby members will show up as support even for a routine call in case they are needed. Although I can’t hear what they are talking about, it appears that Steve andVunic also part ways on friendly terms.The cruiser pulls away without the driver ever stepping outside the vehicle.

We reassemble our bike trio and pedal off around the area of Pemberton Avenue andWelch Street.

We are looking for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary with vehicles, property or people. As cars pass by, the constables automatically check to ensure drivers are wearing their seatbelts and not using phones. After a short while on the beat, I start to feel like

Officer “Ponch” Poncherello on theTV show CHIPS when I suddenly realize Vunic and Johal are pulling over to the side of the road to check out something I didn’t even notice.

A man and a woman are sitting in plastic chairs just off the sidewalk by some parked cars and are drinking from open beer cans.We stop to talk to them and it is immediately apparent that the constables are familiar with this couple. Once again, the conversation is friendly, and the male drinker lets me know that he callsVunic “Super Cop” and Johal “RickieValens.” (I assume he probably means Ritchie Valens, a popular American singer whose life story was told in the movie La Bamba).

When I ask him why he calls Johal “RickieValens” he says, “I don’t know. He just reminds me of him.”

Squad takes pride in work From page 8

Although this couple has been ticketed in the past by the constables, they are let off with a warning this day.While talking about the people they meet on their regular patrols, both Vunic and Johal show a great deal of sensitivity to the issue of alcoholism. As Johal says about alcohol after talking to the couple: “It’s like medicine to them.”

The constables then check in with another man standing farther down the road.They chat briefly, and as we ride away Vunic explains that the man lives in a shelter and his roommate, who is also known to them, is in hospital for dialysis.

The constables were just checking in to see how he’s doing.

All too soon, my brief career as a bike squad member comes to an end, and we pack up to head back to the RCMP building.

Johal rides his bike while Vunic and I drive in the SUV with our bikes on the back rack. As we travel down Marine Drive,Vunic talks about the squad, and it’s clear he is proud of the work they do.

Just then, the call comes over the radio about the person with a warrant at the shelter. At first it appears Vunic is not planning to attend because he has a reporter in the car and other members are responding, until he hears that Johal is already there and immediately turns the car down Third Street to meet his partner.

It is a show of support that is reminiscent of the cruiser appearing as backup at the mall earlier in the morning, and it reflects something Vunic said before the start of the ride-along when we were talking about how the patrol cars and bike squad work together: “We’re all part of the same team.”

10 inexpensive ways to increase your home’s curb appeal

You love your home and know all the unique details that make it a wonderful place to live. No matter how great it may be, it goes under the microscope when you list it for sale.

Your home will be scrutinized down to the last detail by both realtors and potential buyers. You’ll only get one chance to make a first impression.

“Many buyers drive by homes before choosing to view them and most spend more time looking at the front of your home than the rest of the exterior” says Laura Clarke of Team Clarke here in North Vancouver.

“Ensuring that the front

Chris O’Donohue The Great Canadian Landscaping Company of your home is attractive should be a priority.”

It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to create impressive curb appeal.

Many homeowners can

increase their selling price by $25 to $50,000 simply by making the front of their home more inviting when buyers drive past or visit for the first time.

“Mow the lawn, change the light bulbs, freshen up paint, get rid of cobwebs, sweep the front entrance, and plant some annuals in the garden or pots,” lists Laura Clarke. “You’ll be surprised what a difference this can make.”

Don’t let an overgrown yard get in the way of letting buyers appreciate your beautiful home and improvements you’ve made.

Make sure your bushes and hedges are trimmed back,

No matter when you’re planning to sell, never neglect first impressions. Simple steps will maximize your home’s curb appeal and secure top-dollar market value.

At this time of year, falling leaves can create a romantic landscape, but also create a cluttered feeling on your lawn. Raking leaves and sweeping walkways can make your home look tidy and well cared-for, especially if it’s the sharpest yard on the block.

Fall is a wonderful season in the lower mainland, with great weather and rich colours. Whether you’re thinking of selling or simply looking to improve your property, concentrating on curb appeal can pay great dividends.

Details like well-tended landscaping; a crisplypainted fence or eye-catching shutters can help create a welcoming energy that you and your family will appreciate when you arrive home at the end of each day.

“We talked.That was the main thing. And we held hands. And we talked. And I cried,” says Mary-Ann Reeves.

“It was a wonderful visit.

And we didn’t want to leave each other.When it came to the end. . . we held each other together and we just shook,” she adds.

Reeves, reflecting on a recent visit with her son, Jim Mann, speaks softly as she shares the treasured memory. It was her first time seeing Mann — or “Jamie” as only she is allowed to call him she asserts — in two and a half years.

The visit, seeing West Vancouver’s Reeves, 84, reunited with Albuquerque, New Mexico resident Mann, 57, was a special one as Reeves is currently a patient at the North Shore Hospice following a July diagnosis with inoperable cancer.

“It gave me the chance to say goodbye to my mom while she was still alive and that’s what I wanted to do and that’s what she wanted to do,” says Mann.

The visit was made possible thanks to

People are faced with a terminal illness and faced with death and dying and they don’t have the emotional supports at all.There’s a lacking in the current health care system.We’ve got great medical care, but no emotional supports in place,” she adds.

In addition to paying the airfare to help with Reeves’ and Mann’s visit — the foundation’s first time doing so — highlights of its work in the last year include providing funding to Family Services of the North Shore for Companioning

them, I could never thank them enough,” he says.

“It really, really helped. It was amazing,” he adds.

Kyriazis and Sugar launched the Paul Sugar Palliative Support Foundation after seeing a strong need in the community regarding terminally ill patients.

In some situations, local families were unable to be together at end of life due to financial constraints, as well as others where patients didn’t qualify for provincial resources or were unable to pay for supplemental services that would have been of help. Seeing so many patients falling through the cracks, they were compelled to action.

“That’s how we really started, but the longer

wonderful man.”

Mann likewise speaks highly of his mother, who had a long career as a toplevel RN, both locally and in the southwestern United States.

“She’s an amazing woman,” he says.

During Mann’s visit, a celebration was organized for Reeves, with a dozen of her friends, family members and hospice staff in attendance, complete with sparkling cider, helium balloons, an “I love you Mary-Ann” sign, shrimp cocktail and other delights.

“It was great, it was very, very good, I mean it was the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do because basically I was coming up to say goodbye to my mom.That was very hard, but we spent two and a half days of fun.

I fed her food she hadn’t had in quite some time, fish and chips, and I bought her Purdys chocolates.You know, that kind of thing, so it was really, really nice, it was meaningful, it really was,” says Mann.

Both Reeves and Mann encourage community members to support the foundation.

“If I could do it I would volunteer too. I really would because I think it’s a wonderful situation and a wonderful thing to do,” Reeves says.

Mann echoes her sentiment. “I would wholly encourage people to support that kind of foundation because what they did for me. . . was just remarkable because I was unable to pay for the trip.What they did for me, I could never repay

she ran into Sugar, realizing they had met many years ago when he had treated her family, having filled in for their regular physician.

“He knew my mom and so when my mom went into the hospice. . . they started talking,” says Mann.

“Come to find out, he had this foundation and . . . he said, ‘We might be able to get your son up here to visit with you.’ Because I hadn’t seen her in coming on almost two and a half

years now.With everything that was going on it was kind of important, so he saw what he could do and. . . they were able to pay for my journey.”

Mann, who works as a parts manager for an auto parts store, was in North Vancouver Sept. 25-28.

“Oh I wish it was more,” says Reeves.

“I’m very close to my son. It was very special. He’s so much to my heart. He’s my baby boy. I shouldn’t say that at 57,” she adds.

“He’s a wonderful,

Community Care, a volunteer program that offers palliative patients and their caregivers one-on-one visits, a relaxation clinic and bereavement support.

The foundation has also provided hospital beds and wheelchairs to palliative patients in need, including donating a bed to the ALS Society.

Other highlights include making a donation to the North Shore Hospice Society’s Bill Field fund, and the foundation is continuing to build partnerships with other local organizations in support of palliative patients and their families.

“We want to get the word out there that we are around and we’re there to help anybody that needs help,” says Kyriazis, adding the foundation seeks to serve all community members not just those that are patients in the hospice.

To celebrate its one-year anniversary, give thanks to supporters and donors, and raise further funds in support of local palliative care patients and their families, the foundation is presenting an event Sunday, Nov. 2 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Westview Shopping Centre’s Two Lions Public House in North Vancouver.

In honour of Sugar’s typical garb, the evening’s theme is a plaid and jeans affair, and will feature live music by August.

Community members are encouraged to attend the event, make a financial donation or donation of air miles. As well, the foundation is always looking for volunteers. paulsugarfoundation.com

SENIORS

Many unprepared for caregiving Consider the needs of your parents as well as your own “There are only four kinds of people in the world.Those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who need caregivers.”

—Rosalynn Carter As life expectancies increase, more and more of us will participate in the caregiving process.

Many caregivers are adult children caring for their parents. A new senior care survey from BlueShore Financial shows many of us are unprepared for this challenge.

According to Statistics Canada, 2.2 million individuals received

home care in 2012. A few years ago the Health and Home Care Society of B.C. estimated that there were more than 17,000 caregivers on the North Shore alone.

The real appeal of the BlueShore survey is that it is local. Having said that, there are not a lot of surprises here. The survey found that many sandwich generation families and others are unprepared for looking after their senior family members. Almost half of the survey respondents had not discussed with their families specific details about senior care. Having “the conversation” isn’t easy, but it is essential.

Tom Carney

Older andWiser You need to know what your parent wants if you are going to wind up with the legal power and responsibility to make decisions for them. If you don’t know what a power of attorney, a living will or a representation agreement is — and not a lot of people do — find an eldercare expert or attorney to help you.

Speaking of experts,

approximately 60 per cent of the respondents in the survey are not working with advisers. In my opinion the more help you have the better.You can’t do everything on your own.

At the minimum you’ll need a financial adviser, a lawyer, and an accountant.

A care manager who can put together a care plan for you and help you identify community resources is a must.

Listen to what the experts tell you but trust your instincts.You know your family member best.

Caregivers need care too. Watch out for signs of depression and anxiety and get the support you need while caring for someone you love. The survey found that only one-third of all survey respondents have a plan in place for their own care when they age. Think

about how your financial security might be affected by taking care of a parent and the steps you need to take to deal with these implications.

Most people with a plan think they have sufficient funds to pay for the care they need. Really? Home care is expensive. Home care services are not included in medicare and provinces are not required to provide home care.

So when it comes to accessing home care, unless you have a network of family and friends or a lot of money, or both, you are pretty much on your own.

If you are new to caregiving you’ll want

Summer through the eyes of our Self Advocates

Making opportunities happen………

It’s Community Living Month!

In honour of Community Living Month, we’d like to share this family’s story…

After interviewing one family who has a 20 year old son with a developmental disability, we thought we would share the impact this has had on their lives. Their son is not aggressive nor does he have any selfinjurious behaviours; is not a bolter and does not have high medical support needs. They also expressed how fortunate they feel to have been able to have the luxury of going on family vacations; not always a given for families who have a member with special needs. Couples/adult only outings/vacations are often done

separately as the extra expense and coordination required to go for dinner and a movie can never be spontaneous.

Below is a snap shot of what life is like for this one individual family and some of the “extras” involved in their life: ■ Their son needs around the clock supervision. This limits their ability to go out on their own, even just to the local store to pick up some milk ■ Ongoing coordination of multiple specialists ■ Meetings, meetings and more meetings, that have continued even when their child reached adulthood

■

Faced with having to give up careers because of limited government funding and/or long waitlists for service when he turned 19

■

Additional expenses for care providers, equipment and/or other items

■

Never ending search for qualified and reliable care providers

■

■

Long term financial concerns and acceptance that he will likely never be able to support himself Constant staring from people in the community “who just don’t get it”

Walking on egg shells, wondering when the next “meltdown” is going to happen ■ Intense prep work is required before anything new is introduced Some individuals with disabilities are more independent and others require more support.

October is Community Living Month and community living is about accepting, understanding and supporting families in our community. Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping us make opportunities happen for the individuals that we support!

■

In April, Jennifer Wong, an employee with the Red Cross came and spoke at our Self Advocate Committee meeting. She presented a powerful slide show highlighting the international work done by the Red Cross and we had an opportunity to ask questions.

When hiring staff that is new to the industry, Muldoon looks for people who are trainable and driven.

Through discussions Kelly and Nels Nels is a dedicated with ConeXions, hard at work worker Muldoon decided on an applicant and was introduced shortly Nels started his job building packing boxes, afterward to Nels, a young man who was cleaning the delivery trucks and helping new to Vancouver and trying to get work out in the warehouse. Muldoon let his team on the North Shore. While reviewing the know in advance that he was hiring someone applicants, Muldoon commented, “I really through an employment program and had to hand it over to the Employment ensured a warm welcome for both the new Specialist and trust that they had our best employee and his job coach. Nels worked interests at heart. At the end of the day only three weeks with assistance, before you are still in control of your business and achieving independence at the worksite. have to look at the efficiencies. It makes “I love working there and I’ll work there more sense to have an entry level person until I can’t work no more. It’s such a good in that role than it does to have one of our environment” said Nels happily. butchers.”

Leave a gift that lasts Have you ever thought about planning ahead and financially supporting an organization that you hold near and dear to your heart, beyond your lifetime?

North Shore ConneXions Society provides an opportunity to do just this. Planned giving provides many benefits including control over your finances, increased peace of mind and the ability to provide a significant difference in the future.

In addition, any gift that you register in your will to a registered Canadian charity is tax-deductible and most importantly, your planned gift will help ConneXions be there in the future for those that we support and those who need us the most.

To learn more, please contact us at 604-984-9321 or info@nsconnexions.org.

The Summit, ConneXions recreation and education centre, is pleased to offer FREE hip hop dance classes to anyone interested in learning some new dance moves and getting a little exercise! Thanks to the Active Living grant from Vancouver Coastal Health, instructor Keiko Murakami is leading participants in an all-levels class designed to promote physical activity in a fun, pressure-free environment. Each week we are welcoming more and more participants to dance and sweat at their own pace amongst friends!

Below are some of the activities that our self advocates have coordinated in order to raise money: ■ One individual asked for donations in lieu of gifts for her birthday ■ Two fundraising dances were hosted ■ Foot stools were made and sold ■ Garage and bake sales were conducted We have invited Jennifer Wong from the Red Cross back to our November Self Advocate Committee meeting where we will present her with a cheque of the total money raised. To date, the amount raised stands at over $900.00.

When Two Rivers first opened, sourcing qualified butchers, chefs and warehouse employees was challenging. Today, potential employees are lining up at their door. When Operations Manager, Tim Muldoon was first approached by our Employment Specialist, Grace McKirdy in July 2014, they had just done a bout of hiring to prepare for summer sales volumes. The shop operates 24 hours per day, six days per week. Muldoon, already familiar with similar employment programs offered on Vancouver Island, accepted three

different resumes for consideration.

Muldoon invested time reviewing each candidate’s interests and experience.

Hip Hop is Happening!

Giving Back – Update In a previous publication we told you about our self advocates’ plan to raise money for children with disabilities in another country. All money raised will be donated to the Red Cross International.

Two Rivers Specialty Meats was first conceived by owners Margot and Jason Pleym. In 2007, these North Vancouverites left their city jobs and spent the summer living in a school bus in Golden, BC. They returned to North Vancouver in the fall to begin a business aimed at bringing their values to the marketplace. The result is delicious meat raised locally, free of hormones and antibiotics, produced in an ethical and sustainable environment. The company began working with Pemberton Meadows Natural Beef and has since grown to work with over 20 local farmers, producers and families that are committed to these values.

Foot stool built by our self advocates is being fully utilized!

The Active Living initiative is aimed at supporting people to live healthy lives by increasing their physical activity. By bringing a new fitness activity to our community and limiting barriers to accessing such classes, (such as having instruction in a plain language format and eliminating associated costs) The Summit hopes to promote fitness and demonstrate how healthy living can be fun!

Feel free to drop in and try a class: Thursdays from 4:30-5:30pm until December 18th 2014.

Women’s health

Each stage of life has some specific issues to consider, but overall health starts as early as your 20s.

ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

When it comes to women’s health, two topics seem to share the limelight: fertility and fitness. But Dr. Beth Donaldson, a women’s health specialist and medical director at the North Shore and Vancouver sites of Copeman Healthcare clinics, says there are specific things women need to consider at all stages of life.

Women 40 and over tend to start thinking about specific issues such as cancer, weight maintenance and bone protection, but there are things to look at earlier that can contribute to an overall well-woman approach to health.

Donaldson suggests women in their 30s start checking into their blood pressure, cholesterol, waist circumference, family history, risk factors, diet and exercise in terms of prevention for osteoporosis and cancer, alcohol intake, and more.

“Because we can do so much for prevention and diagnosis of early disease now, it’s really the age that you need to start that relationship with your physician,” notes Donaldson.

She says she often finds she needs to discuss lifestyle and stress reduction even with women in their 20s, and reminds them they need to try putting themselves first.

“Because women have so many different responsibilities as they go through the ages that if they don’t put themselves and their health first early on in life then it just gets away from them, and change is so much harder when you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s.”

Thanks to an abundance of access to online information these days, most women who visit her clinic are generally informed about health issues, notes Donaldson.

“They’re well informed but they need a little bit more education.

So they come with the right questions.”

Among the most common topics of conversation with her female patients is perimenopause and menopause, says Donaldson.

“Menopause isn’t a disease, it’s a regular occurrence in life,” she explains. “We’ve only really made it an issue in say the last 20, 30 years.”

Getting your workout back on track 31 Balance and fall prevention for seniors 32

Some women are very symptomatic and some will go through menopause without any issues, says Donaldson.

“There’s definitely a lot of safe, effective treatments for the right candidates, and we can get women through menopause relatively easily as long as they’re open with their doctor and review their lifestyle and risk factors for heart disease and breast cancer mainly when (they’re) thinking about hormone replacement therapy.”

When asked what her main piece of health advice is for women, Donaldson answers quickly: “Start moving” She recommends women get active and stay active.

“The earlier you can start doing it the better it will be for you for prevention, for mental health, for relationships, for sleep, for stress reduction and more,” she explains. “And it’s true that a fat and fit person is way better off than a skinny couch potato.”

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers produced and stored in the brain and are released into action when the brain cells are activated. They are responsible for every thought, mood, pain or pleasure sensation we feel.

They control our energy level, our appetite, and the foods we crave.

Neurotransmitters even regulate how well we sleep, as well as our sex drive.

Psychological stress can cause neurotransmitter deficiencies or imbalances; likewise, the neurotransmitter deficiency or imbalance can cause changes in our health. For example, a large part of serotonin, our “feel good” hormone, is produced in the gut.

If we are under stress, eat poorly, or have food intolerances, this can actually affect our mood and behavior by disrupting serotonin

production. It is estimated that over 86% of Canadians have suboptimal neurotransmitter levels.

“Many patients come into my office having tried various medications for their mood without success...” says Dr. Falk, a Naturopathic Physician at Marine Drive Naturopathic Clinic.

“Neurotransmitter testing allows us to see the levels of brain chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Based on these levels, I can design a treatment plan to address the cause of the mood disorder. If a patient is already on a medication, I can discuss a treatment plan that is safe to follow with the medication as well.”

Besides anxiety and depression, neurotransmitter imbalances are

Now that a new season is upon us, it’s time to re-commit to maintaining a regular workout regimen.

Consistency is the key to good health, but life sometimes interferes. You might get sick, take a vacation, or just give up on your health kick for a while. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get yourself right back into it. Here are five suggestions to help get your fitness routine back on track and keep it there.

Books

1. You’ve got to start somewhere: Getting back into a fitness routine after an absence is never easy, and the first step is always the most difficult. As hard as it may seem, you simply have to force yourself back to the gym, your aerobics class, or out on a hike or jog. Just block off some time and get out there.

KINESIOLOGY TAPING

by John Langendoen and Karin Sertel, Robert Rose Inc., 256 pages, $24.95

Taping for athletic injuries has come a long way from the beige stretch bandages that were once the only option.

The self-adhesive cotton tape that is in use today offers an enormous

2. Address nagging injuries: Serious injuries can keep you out of the gym for extended periods, but don’t let this valid reason soon become a mere excuse. It’s important to consult a physician about treatment options, but it should be possible to remain active by focusing on unaffected muscle groups. Few nagging injuries are more dangerous than prolonged inactivity.

a gym. However, many functional exercises can be performed at home on a mat. You can also purchase dumbbells to perform more gym exercises at home. To make things easy in a pinch, plan and practise at least two routines you can complete at home.

5. Every bit counts: Don’t be discouraged if you can only fit 20 minutes of exercise into each day.

Be proud for making any time for exercise. After all, elevating your heart rate for more than 10 minutes is always beneficial. Start by walking to work and taking the stairs whenever possible.

Your body will thank you, and you’ll be on the path to healthier habits.

3. Be realistic: Ambition is great, but if you haven’t exercised regularly in a while it’s often best to start small and work progressively toward your ideal activity level. Otherwise, you could end up feeling frustrated and run-down. Start by committing to two proper workouts per week and ensuring one is an activity you’ll look forward to. Remember, fitness should be fun.

4. Develop at-home fitness routines: Even after you’ve returned to the swing of fitness, there will be days when you may not be able to attend

this book go on to discuss the different ways of cutting the tape, appropriate tension, and the importance of the starting position. Taping solutions covering the body from head to toe are presented with colour photographs and step-by-step instructions about the application.

“Seniors tend to take smaller steps and shorter strides, and their gait pattern becomes more like a shuffling movement,” notes Bock Smith. “It’s mostly because of their fear and anxiety of falling that they tend to bring everything in closer.”

' ! $ ) ! , " , % ROSALIND DUANE rduane@nsnews.com

As seniors age their gait patterns tend to change.

Often they start walking with a smaller base of support, their feet come much closer together as they walk, their heads and their eyes are down looking at the ground and they’re a little stooped because of

that, explains Susan Bock Smith, one half of the duo behind Sure Feet, a balance and mobility training program that focuses on fall prevention for seniors.

Bock Smith started the program in

Typically, people tend to walk with bigger movements, using their arms with a big stride, and that helps them keep their balance. Seniors tend to fear losing their balance, so keep all of their limbs in close to make them feel safer, but that may actually increase their chance of falling, sometimes as much as 40 per cent, explains Bock Smith.

When seniors don’t have a long stride or a regular stride, their arms don’t tend to move, and instead hang by their side.

“And the arms play an integral part in your balance because they counteract the movement of the legs,” says Bock Smith.

Another reason seniors are at risk for falling is they often look down when walking, which means they often only see about five feet ahead so can’t prepare for what’s approaching.

When they keep their eyes up and are

looking at eye level they have a visual path ahead that is about 20 feet, so they are able to prepare if they see something in their path. That gives them more time to react, rather than having to make sudden turns that could also precipitate a fall.

In addition, when seniors’ steps become smaller with a shuffling gait, the distance that they raise their feet off the ground is so minimal that it’s really easy to catch their shoe or their foot on something. Getting up quickly in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and tripping over slippers could happen easily with a shuffling gait.

Bock Smith also recommends to program participants that they follow the 12-second rule when getting out of bed in the middle of the night.

If they get up quickly from a lying position to a standing position they may experience a blood pressure adjustment that could make them dizzy. It is recommended they sit on the side of their bed for 12 seconds, get used to the upright position, move their feet around a bit, then go.

“Seniors tend to fall more causing injuries to themselves,” notes Bock Smith, who says the program also focuses on educating participants about strengthening muscles, especially in the lower body. Not being active can lead to shortened and

tight muscles that lead to pain when trying to stand up straight or walk with a full gait, which may lead to a stooped-over walk with bent knees.

For seniors, a fall can lead to an injury that can lead to a decline physically, mentally or emotionally, notes Bock Smith.

“A huge part is just (to) stay active and social,” she says, adding the program encourages socialization, and participants often make friends in class.

Bock Smith says she and Bjornson set out to help other people with their program, but have gotten so much in return.

“We’re both pretty excited about what we do. It’s pretty great to work in a place where you get such positive feedback.”

Most of the classes (called Better Balance) are offered through recreation facilities on the North Shore, including John Braithwaite Community Centre, West Vancouver Senior’s Activity Centre, Mollie Nye House, and North Shore Neighbourhood House. For more information visit surefeet.ca.

This week, we’re talking turkey, as in Thanksgiving turkey, with all the trimmings.

It’s a celebration that conjures up an image shaped by generations of tradition. However, even though the dinner’s origin can be traced to that very first American supper, nowadays our more multicultural community brings a whole lot more licence.

The fun thing about picking turkey wines is that it doesn’t need to be complicated. The domesticated descendant of the wild turkey that graced the original Thanksgiving table yields plenty to play with.

In our family, some people not only prefer but will not even deviate from the mild, highly prized white breast meat, which can go just as easily with a lightly oaked Chardonnay as it might a dry rosé.

But the darker, flavourful leg and thigh deliver more earthy notes that, especially with a good sage-based stuffing, can be the perfect match for Gamay or Pinot Noir, or even a more full-bodied red, to play with the cranberry sauce.

Turkey (and the trimmings) is truly versatile, so much so that you can easily pour a textured, aromatic white, such as Gewurztraminer, to pick up on the herbs and stuffing and cater to those who prefer white to red. In fact, if you want to be totally decadent and geek out, there’s no reason why you can’t give everyone two glasses, and let them go to it.

For Canadians,

Tim Pawsey

Notable Potables Thanksgiving arrives at the perfect time to indulge in seasonal bounty and our own vintage. Here’s a few B.C. drops to take your celebration to the next level.

Nothing quite raises the tenor of a celebration like a good glass of sparkling wine from one of the province’s pioneer wineries: Gray Monk Odyssey Brut 2010 This wine jumped out of the flight to win gold at the recent B.C.

North Shore cadets mark 100 years Youth program has evolved since the FirstWorldWar

STEFANIA SECCIA sseccia@nsnews.com

The cadet program is celebrating its 100th anniversary since first arriving on the North Shore.

Although the program pre-dates Confederation, it found its way over to B.C. just six months before the First World War. North Vancouver resident Bob Irvine has been involved with the cadets since he joined the 103 Thunderbird Squadron in 1965 at the age of 13. Now, he is the area cadet instructor cadre officer with the Regional Cadet Support Unit (Pacific) responsible for the five army cadet corps in the area and is the cadet liaison officer supporting 14 different cadet corps and squadrons.

“The cadet movement actually started about some six years before Confederation,” he notes.

“It started back east and basically, they didn’t have PE (physical education) instruction in school back then and they thought kids playing games was just that — games.”

Also, because Canada

was young, the government encouraged the more formalized physical education in an effort to build patriotism, according to Irvine.

“Because it’s such a huge land, it’s so sparse and the Americans were constantly rattling sabres and threatening to take us over,” he says. “It took a long time to get back west because we were just developing.”

Around that time, the North Shore was really just Moodyville and a handful of one-room schoolhouses.

“Ridgeway (elementary) was the first big school in North Van and it had a basement so kids could march and do stuff in the basement or outside,” he says.

That was about six months before the Great War started, and many of the older youth in elementary school, 16 and 17 year olds, went on to fight in Europe.

But the cadet program has since moved on, includes girls and focuses more on teaching participants survival skills, first aid and other enduring qualities, Irvine says.

There’s all kinds of benefits.”

Since Jan. 28, 1914, there have been 18 different cadet corps and squadrons in both North and West Vancouver. To this day, five remain active including the army, air and navy league cadet corps.

One of the many wonderful things I love about dogs is that they are such highly social creatures.

They so enjoy interacting with not only their own kind, but humans as well. This is partly due to their wolf ancestry and selective breeding practices. Many moons ago, when humans were far less civilized materially than they are now, some of them noticed how some wolves (canis lupus) enjoyed hanging around the campfires, be it for scraps of food or curiosity.

These smart yet somewhat primitive humans chose to “adopt” those social wolves and thus the selective breeding began. The end result is today’s canis lupus

Joan Klucha

Canine Connection familiaris, a.k.a. the dog.

Externally, most dogs don’t resemble wolves any longer, but they still carry many genetic traits from their wolf cousins.

One of these traits is the need for social interaction.

Dogs require this social interaction because they are pack animals; they have an instinctual desire to interact with a group of similar individuals.

Some current theories state that dogs do not have a need for pack structure and dynamics, but if you spend any time with a group of familiar dogs or have a small pack, like I do, you will observe very quickly that pack dynamics and order exists. I believe that one of the beauties of canine domestication over many thousands of years is that dogs no longer have the same kind of social pack needs as the wolves do, but they still have social needs. Dogs are content with friendships within transient packs of unrelated members, whereas wolves have permanent packs of family members.

What this means for your Fido is that deep inside that four-legged ball of fur, he needs to get his social media game on by sniffing another dog’s butt on a regular basis.

Socialization goes far beyond teaching a puppy how to interact with other dogs. Socialization is a lifelong participation that helps to reinforce social skills with other dogs. If they don’t get out and mingle in their social network, their skills get rusty and they will soon be “unfriended.”

Can you imagine the talk at the dog park? “I just went up to say hello to Duchess and instead of letting me sniff her behind she turned and snapped at me! What’s up with that? I’m going to have to delete her from my

friend list if she does that again!”

Sniffing butts, touching noses, pushing and shoving, the occasional argument, and of course play, are all a part of the canine social ritual and dogs need it.

In fact, if they don’t get social time, many dogs begin to display behaviours that may resemble aggression when they meet or even see another dog. It really isn’t true aggression, but rather an expression of frustration because their social needs are not being met.

Once these dogs are allowed to interact with other dogs on a regular basis, that unwanted behaviour goes away. It may require the help of a professional trainer at first because sometimes the frustrated dog is also very anxious and overexcited and needs to be taught self-control before greeting another dog, otherwise conflict can ensue.When conflict does happen, the owner often gets frustrated or even frightened and the dog is then denied further social interaction.

Dog parks that provide linear movement, as in walking off or on leash on trails, are better for positive social interaction than small fenced parks. Along trails, friendly dogs can meet, have a sniff that could turn into play and then leave with their owners, yet continue with fun exercise.

In confined areas, the limited space for dogs to interact often doesn’t allow a dog to retreat or escape from another dog that plays too rough or may not have friendly intentions.

Understandably, a dog that has negative experiences in these areas is often removed by its owner. But the negative social interaction remains in the dog’s mind, which, over time, can lead to social behavioural problems if no other positive social interaction takes place.

Providing a positive social network on a daily basis is important for your dog’s mental and emotional health.

Joan has been working with dogs for more than 15 years in obedience, tracking and behavioural rehabilitation.

Blues aim to keep the beat Revamped Cap lineup hoping to maintain winning ways

Harry Jerome Arena Buchanan Bowl Football Handsworth @ Carson Graham Saturday, Oct. 18 1:30 p.m.

There are big shoes to fill all over the court for the Capilano Blues women’s volleyball team but head coach Cal Wohlford is confident he’s got the players to step in and step up.

The Blues won silver at the PacWest provincial championships last season and went on to finish fifth at nationals.

The team was led by a strong group of veteran players who pasted their names all over the PacWest statistical leaderboard. Almost all of them, however, have moved on.

On top of that list was defensive wizard Jacqueline Caverly, a first-team PacWest all-star who lead the league in digs by a wide margin. Replacing her will be a task for the whole team, said Wohlford, adding that fourth year player Mika Chow will step in as the new libero.

“She’s a very good defensive player,” Wohlford said of Chow. “Some of the things that you have with a solid player like Jacquie you don’t replace and you don’t try to get anybody to imitate it.

What you try to do is find somebody that has the same kind of passion that she had. . . . Jacquie is not here.What we need to do is contribute a little part of that.Whatever Jacquie did, each person needs to adapt a little of that so we still have a little something there.”

Also gone are Sydney Thorton and Sara Pettersson, the team’s top two hitters last year, and middle Alicia Catalano who finished second in the league in blocks last year.

This isn’t, however, an entirely new squad.The Blues brought in five rookies but they also have a strong cast of returning players. One player who will be instrumental in getting the new-look Blues up to speed is setter Sarah Hughes, a third-year player from F\11\3 F-3-X g0YX\2 8[ 1X\ :-6WT-R8 ;T0\2 S-U\2 - 6T-` )03WRY T-21 `\-3#2 638/WR*W-T *X-S6W8R2XW62% g0YX\2 .WTT Burnaby.

“I don’t even know how they do it,”Wohlford said of the national rankings.

“Over the last two years I kind of realized that’s not something I need to worry about. I just worry about our league, setting our goals and trying to accomplish them.”

So what are those goals?

“We want to repeat and go back to nationals,” he said, adding that the

PacWest conference will be awarded two berths in the national championships again this season. “We’d like to do better than a silver at provincials, that’s our goal, but we know we’ve had lots of turnover so we’re working hard at getting everybody in the same rhythm.”

Wohlford said he understands that it may take time for his revamped lineup to find that rhythm but he’s not going to let that lower his expectations.

“I’m fine with that,” he

said. “I kind of like peaking near the end.That’s been our trait the last couple of years and I’d like to keep that going, but at the same time we know the games we need to win and we’d like to win those ones. It starts off with Douglas this weekend.”

••• The Blues open their season at home on Friday against the Douglas College Royals.The women will get things started at 6 p.m. with the men to follow at approximately 8 p.m.
