Cancer, and all that comes after

North Van couple faces down deadly disease JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

She noticed him because he blew his nose.

It was before the marriage, before three kids, and long before a two year trial with melanoma that threatened everything.

Half a century ago, Claudia was in the ninth grade at Point Grey secondary, noticing a boy treating his nose like Louis Armstrong treated a trumpet.

The teacher (correctly, as it turned out) thought Gordon was intentionally being disruptive.

For his part, Gordon liked the smart girl with the funny name.

Sitting at a North Vancouver cafe, Claudia Cornwall (formerly Wiener), laughs as she and her husband trade recollections and first impressions.

“She wore a sweater that exposed one shoulder, which impressed me greatly,” Gordon recalls, making them both laugh.

The couple married in 1971, settling in North Vancouver where they would organize canoe trips and bridge games and sip homemade blackberry wine.

Gordon became something of a pioneer in the field of computers, running a company that made software for the railroad industry. Claudia was a freelance writer, penning books and magazine articles.

And then there was a lump.

It was about halfway up Gordon’s left arm, just above the elbow. It looked a little like a pimple. It looked like something he could ignore.

After all, he’d never been in a tanning bed – in fact he’d never once set out to get a tan. His working life was spent indoors, the couple didn’t go on tropical vacations and there was no history of melanoma in his family.

The lump didn’t go away.

A doctor said it looked like skin cancer. A dermatologist differed, judging it a squamous cell carcinoma.

The lump grew.

Gordon and Claudia Cornwall revel in good health and each other’s company following Gordon’s protracted struggle with melanoma and the challenging aftermath. Claudia documented the story in her new book Battling Melanoma. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD It was obdurate, Claudia recalls, growing as it became engorged with blood.

Eventually, Claudia found herself reading a pathology report that included the words: “invasive malignant melanoma, nodular type.”

“I became quite alarmed,” Claudia recalls. “I got up in the middle of the night and started reading up on nodular melanoma. I got even more alarmed.”

In her book, Battling Melanoma, Claudia quotes 19th century English doctor Thomas Fawdington, who wrote: “As to the remote and exciting causes of malnosis, we are quite in the dark.”

If melanoma had left medical science in the dark,

nodular masses had often left them in the wrong room.

In Greek, melan means dark or black. Oma means tumour.

But nodular melanomas, which can be under-diagnosed, are frequently lighter in colour. The elevated eruptions also tend to grow vertically, like a volcano rising from the ocean floor. They are very likely to metastasize.

Gordon’s diagnosis came just days before the couple were scheduled to fly to Australia. Claudia was doing research for her book Catching Cancer, an investigation into the viral and bacterial causes of the disease. A topic she had to remind herself was purely coincidental.

In Battling Melanoma,

Claudia remembers the conversation immediately after the diagnosis of melanoma.

“It’s only a few days. I’ll be all right,” Gordon assured her.

“But I wouldn’t be,” Claudia replied.

She didn’t go.

Gordon’s lump was worsening.

“The danger was this thing going systemic,” Claudia says, describing the breaking skin over the lump taking on a “blistered, crusty appearance – evidence the malignancy was likely to spread.”

Claudia was determined to help her husband determine the right course of treatment.

But figuring out the best way to treat melanoma, even among medical professionals,

is open to debate.

Should radiation cover a broad swath of tissue, or be tightly targeted? How effective is chemotherapy? What about immunotherapy?

It’s a realm of medical discourse and disagreement Gordon calls: “the fog of medicine.”

They tried an immunotherapy infusion called Ipilimumab, but it didn’t seem to help.

A second lump appeared on Gordon’s arm. There was another on his right buttock.

“I had another PET scan.

That turned up six tumours scattered around my torso,” Gordon says.

“It was pretty grim,” Claudia adds.

Gordon had essentially been told it was time to put his affairs in order.

But there’s something to be said for bedside manner, and by both Claudia and Gordon’s accounts, North Vancouver oncologist Dr. Sasha Smiljanic’s bedside manner was exquisite.

There was no cause for Gordon to spend his days like an inmate waiting for execution, he just needed something better, something stronger. He needed a new drug.

He needed MK-3475.

Despite sounding like a shadowy government program, immunotherapy drug MK-3475 was a breakthrough.

Oncologist Tony Ribas lauded the treatment, saying it was the first time in 15 years he’d seen patients respond with no nausea, no vomiting.

“There is no better personalized therapy than this.”

It was new, but it had enough of a track record to show its users weren’t “dropping like flies,” Gordon says.

“I knew I wanted this drug.”

But getting it was another matter.

After three denials from an Edmonton drug trial, the couple were forced to look south.

“There was nothing going on in Canada,” Claudia recalls.

However, there was a clinic in Santa Monica running a trial for melanoma patients – just, as it turned out, not for melanoma patients as sick as Gordon.

The cancer had spread to his brain.

“They don’t let people with brain metastasis into the trial because it looks too bad, it skews the statistics,” Gordon

explains. “It excluded me from the trial.”

“That was a really blue moment,” Claudia adds.

It was enough to make Gordon wonder if his fight with melanoma was futile.

“Maybe we’re just making heroic efforts here, and it’s not the way I should be spending my last couple of months on Earth,” he recalls thinking.

There was no pain from the brain metastasis, but Gordon was changing.

“I couldn’t type properly,” he says. “There were mild neurological symptoms starting to show up.”

While Gordon was wondering if he should resign himself to whatever came next, Smiljanic once more convinced the couple to rage against the dying of the light.

“Dr. Smiljanic produced a miracle,” Kathy recalls.

While the Canadian medical system had sometimes been frustratingly slow, Smiljanic arranged immediate brain surgery for Gordon.

He opted for stereotactic radiation following the surgery to kill tumour fragments without risking the cognitive decline associated with other radiation treatments.

After that, it was on to a drug trial in Texas.

They were four days past the deadline for acceptance into the trial, but as there were two vacant slots, Gordon got in.

“There were more tumours springing up by that time. I had one on my shoulder that I could feel, it was just under the skin.”

Gordon, a philosopher and author of the blog The Phantom Self, sees cancer as a cunning interloper.

“The cancer evades the immune system by sending a (chemical) message saying basically: ‘Don’t touch me. I am self. I am you.’”

The MK-3475 works by refusing to let the cancer’s message be imparted by receptors in the T-cells, sort of like sailors stuffing their ears with wax to avoid the lure of the siren’s call.

The effect of the infusion was close to instantaneous.

Gordon flew home after his first infusion and immediately thought he noticed a difference.

“I said, Claudia, am I kidding myself or is this tumour

Fraudster’s wife loses claim to real estate proceeds Judge finds no evidence of financial hardship JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

The West Vancouver wife of a convicted securities fraudster recently lost her court battle to keep the long arm of the SEC away from more than $6 million in cash and property.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission took Gregg Mulholland to court over a 2008 pump-and-dump scheme, eventually winning a judgment that was ratcheted up to the equivalent of C$3,685,123, including interest.

Under a plea deal, Mulholland forfeited his interest in a $4.85-million Mathers Avenue home, as well as an undeveloped property at Whistler, which was sold earlier this year for a net profit of $1,246,295. y However, those properties weren’t his to forfeit, according to Delia Mulholland, Gregg’s wife.

The West Vancouver house was bought through Vision Crest, a company in which Delia is the only shareholder, she argued. She also contended she was entitled to money from the sale of the Whistler property, which she needed to provide for her family and to pay legal fees.

“Since my husband has been incarcerated, I have been without the funds other than meagre savings that I had. I do not have a job and caring for my daughters occupies my time fully,” she stated in her affidavit.

Convinced Delia was “experiencing hardship and inconvenience,” Justice Gordon Funt put the money from the sale in trust earlier this year.

Shortly afterward, it came to light Delia was the owner of two properties in California.

While her attorney contended they were small rental properties, Funt nonetheless found the news “particularly troubling.”

There is no longer evidence Delia Mulholland is facing hardship, according to Funt,

who wrote that he only had her “bald statements … without the grounds for those statements provided.”

Ultimately, the judge inclined to the SEC’s argument that Delia’s ownership claims were concocted to “delay, hinder and defraud.”

Gregg Mulholland “is and was” the true owner of both properties, according to the SEC. Funt ruled there was nothing in Gregg Mulholland’s 2016 financial statement to buttress Delia’s claims the West Vancouver home was bought for her “sole benefit.”

Gregg Mulholland pled guilty last May in a New York criminal court to conspiracy to fraudulently manipulate share price of publicly traded companies and launder more than US$250 million through five offshore law firms.

Under his plea agreement, he consented to forfeit “right, title and interest” in the West Vancouver house and the Whistler land.

Funt dismissed the application for the money to be released.

Lengthy depression posttreatment was akin to PTSD From page 4

smaller. And she felt it and said, ‘I think you’re kidding yourself.’”

But the next day it was smaller again.

Gordon received five infusions and all of his tumours “kind of melted away,” he says.

“And he felt OK,” Claudia marvels. “It’s amazing that you can get rid of a tumour with less effect on your body than say, if you were getting rid of a flu.”

His recovery was so quick and complete that it even flummoxed a radiologist, who wrote a report that mentioned the large tumour in Gordon’s buttock had been surgically removed. It hadn’t. It was just gone. ! ! !

“It’s a complicated question,” Gordon answers over an empty coffee cup when asked if the illness has changed his

perspective on life. “I don’t really understand it, but after recovering from melanoma I became quite severely depressed.”

The depletion of his thyroid might have contributed to his depression. He was also taking “massive doses” of prednisone with the immunotherapy, a psychoactive steroid that made him giddy and manic.

One doctor suggested he might be suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder.

His mental state puzzled his wife.

“I thought, he’s recovered, he should be happy,’” she recalls thinking.

For Gordon, the two-year fight with melanoma was an “epic battle.”

“It gives you some purpose in life. You’re always making urgent phone calls and flying around.”

But when the battle was over, Gordon’s purpose was

gone.

The depression isn’t uncommon, Claudia explains.

“Especially people who recover from a bout of very serious cancer. They come back and they think, ‘Oh my god, I have to pay taxes now.’ ” The depression lingered for two more years.

Gordon and Claudia were at their place in the Cariboo.

There was no electricity and the running water was supplied by pumping it out of the lake.

Bit by bit, Gordon built a water tower. “It felt so good to build this thing. That kind of helped me see the possibilities of life.”

As the interview winds up, the couple are getting ready to spend the last days of summer back in the Cariboo.

Asked if there’s anything else he’d like to say, Gordon embraces Claudia.

“I owe a lot to my wife,” he says.

Congratulations Emily Overholt – your Bronze Medal makes Canadians everywhere proud.

Someday® doesn’t just happen.

It takes dedication, hard work … and an unshakable belief in yourself.

Trail runner pursued by bear tells his story ‘I have a lot of respect for those animals’: Chris Lubell JEREMY SHEPHERD jshepherd@nsnews.com

Last Monday, Chris Lubell encountered a black bear on the Lower Shinglebolt trail.

The animal could have killed or crippled him, but the only contact was when it nuzzled him with its nose.

Two days removed from the frightening incident, Lubell’s cuts are healing, his hoarse voice is recovering, and he’s pondering just what happened on that trail.

“I have a lot of respect for those animals, so much more now that I’ve had an actual connection with one,” he said.

Lubell, a 35-year-old financial adviser, had just passed two groups of female hikers during an uneventful

“I swear to god we sat there and stared at each other for at least five minutes … whatever it was, it seemed like an eternity,” Chris Lubell says of his close encounter with a bear. PHOTO MIKE WAKEFIELD Monday morning run.

“I turned the last bend

before a straightaway … and the bear was sitting there.”

North Shor Shore’s largest selection of roof boxes!

Numerous media outlets, including the North Shore News, reported the bear’s weight at approximately 200 pounds.

“I’m 200 pounds,” Lubell said, estimating the threeyear-old black bear was at least 400 pounds.

His first instinct was to warn the hikers he’d passed.

“I turned around and ran and immediately the bear started running after me – and I know, I know you’re not supposed to run from a bear.”

He yelled, “Bear, bear, bear! Go, go, go!” and led

his lumbering pursuer away from the hikers, tearing up the embankment and heading into the wooded area off the trail.

The bear stayed on his tail, prompting a realization: “running away is not going to work.”

He turned around and saw the bear was less than a metre away.

“I swear to god we sat there and stared at each other for at least five minutes … whatever it was, it seemed like an eternity.”

Lubell tried to back away.

The bear followed.

“He did come right up to me and he started sniffing my groin.”

Lubell screamed at the top of his lungs. He wasn’t sure he was even forming words, he just knew he had to be loud.

The bear stopped moving forward. Its snout dipped.

Judging from bear encounters he’d seen on TV, Lubell thought it was a sign of submission.

From there, Lubell would back up, the bear would approach. Lubell would yell, the bear would retreat.

He guesses he covered more than a kilometre like that, unsure if the bear was being aggressive or playful.

“Really, what I was doing was just maintaining some sort of dominance and control over the situation in the only way that I thought possible.”

When the bear sat down to excrete in the woods, Lubell saw his chance to escape.

He rounded a corner, waited a couple seconds, started running, and fell.

The bear moved over top of him.

“I was on my back and I was looking at this bear’s face. I could smell it.”

But all the bear did was look.

“There were multiple times this bear could have just totally eviscerated me and it made a decision not to.”

In the midst of the pursuit, a passerby heard Lubell’s screams and called 911.

Lubell was near the end of the trail when arriving officers on a nearby trail yelled down to him.

“Before the bridge the bear looks at me, looks up to where the voices are, and just starts off into the forest,” he said. “That’s the last I saw of it.”

Conservation officers set a trap for the bear on Monday and were debating destroying the bear.

If someone else had stumbled on the bear, if it had been hungry, if it had been provoked or startled, Lubell acknowledges the situation could have been different.

“I think bears are majestic, wonderful animals and that they shouldn’t be treated like cattle and shot to death,” he said. “I hope in my heart though that they would just relocate it.”

Lubell still plans to go running in the trails, but said from now on he’ll have an air horn or other bear deterrent within reach.

Cyclist dies following Marine Drive collision Two North Van riders hurt Friday morning

BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

The 76-year-old cyclist critically injured in West Vancouver on Aug. 10 has died.

According to West Vancouver police, the victim had been in a medically induced coma since he was taken to hospital following a head-on collision on Marine Drive just east of 29th Street.

“He was taken off life support (on Wednesday) and passed away,” said Const.

Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver police spokesman.

Police are not releasing the man’s name.

According to investigators, the man was riding east on Marine Drive when he veered into the oncoming lane to avoid a commercial truck turning left onto 29th. A westbound SUV then collided head-on with the cyclist,

causing head trauma and broken bones.

Police later ticketed the driver of the truck for driving without due care and consideration, and failing to remain at the scene.

“It’s tragic and very unfortunate,” Palmer said.

“It doesn’t change the nature of the charges that are still sustained by the evidence at scene, under the Motor Vehicle Act.” HUB North Shore cycling coalition chair Tony Valente said the incident is a tragedy that exemplifies the need for municipalities to prioritize safety for people on bicycles.

“As our cities continue to densify and grow, cycling is a transportation option and if we’re going to make it an option for everyone, eight to 80, then we’re going to be looking for greater separation of bikes from cars,” he said. “When routes are known to be safe, people divert to them. It’s all a question of what our society puts priorities on. If we value human life and want folks to be safe, maybe we should lose a lane of parking.”

Two cyclists had to

be hospitalized on Friday morning following similar collisions in North Vancouver.

During the morning commute, a man was injured at Fell Avenue and 16th Street at 8:22 a.m. The cyclist was riding west on 16th when a driver turned into his path.

“He did not see the cyclist as he was making the northbound turn and the cyclist struck his front passenger quarterpanel,” said Staff Sgt. Paul Duffy, North Vancouver RCMP watch commander.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover.

As of North Shore News’ deadline Friday, investigators hadn’t made any decision about charges.

One hour later, another man was injured, this time

from running into a van on the 5600-block of Nancy Greene Way. The cyclist was riding downhill when the van’s driver did an illegal U-turn.

“The cyclist couldn’t stop and struck its passenger side,” Duffy said.

Police served the driver with a violation ticket.

Mercury rising

W

e never expected to use this editorial space to wax nostalgic about the environmental leadership of former premier Gordon Campbell, but he at least took the step of instituting a carbon tax.

It seems our current premier is intent on fighting climate change without changing much of anything. Christy Clark subsequently froze that tax, as if expecting she could freeze the problem along with it.

By some measures, the problem is worsening. B.C.’s own greenhouse gas emissions have risen in the last five years.

And while some environmentalists express concern that climate change is an issue of the future, we believe it’s an issue right now.

We are beginning to see more crops growing faster and producing smaller yields due to higher temperatures. In

the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency warns that rising temperatures will make it more difficult to grow food, raise animals and catch fish. By ignoring the problem, we are effectively taking food out of our own mouths.

While it would be understandable, if not excusable, for Clark to overlook the environment in favour of massive profits, her plan to doggedly pursue an LNG windfall is looking increasingly unlikely.

It seems the do-nothing approach is designed to not offend any election-year sacred cows. If we’re serious about reducing global temperatures, we may have to start by at least being willing to raise our own blood pressure.

Gun to your head: what happened in Rio? Great news everybody: none of the body parts found floating around Olympic venues belonged to actual Olympians!

At least, we don’t think so. Has anyone actually seen Ryan Lochte lately, alive and in one piece?

I still don’t know all the facts about the Lochte-fake-robbery-peed-ona-wall-maybe-there-was-a-gun story (let’s be honest: I know none of the facts) but I have to say that I believe Lochte – anyone who has ever watched him swim, heard him speak or even just glimpsed him on TV has no doubt pictured some scenario that ended with Lochte having a gun in his face. He just has one of those gun faces, you know?

Speaking of gun faces, it’s time for my bi-yearly look at the real winners and losers of the Olympic Games. I’ll award gold medals to those who

Laugh All You Want Andy Prest shone on the sporting world’s biggest stage, while the losers will be given severed legs, in honour of the unofficial mascot of the Olympic sailing course.

Gold medal: To track and field, for once again being awesome. Track and field is sport at its purest. Who can jump the highest? (Canadian Derek Drouin!) Who can run the fastest? (Usain Bolt, until his little

CONTACTUS

Canadian brother Andre De Grasse catches him in a year or two.)

It’s elemental. You can picture friends sitting around a bar debating who at the table can run the fastest. Can you picture those same folks debating who would come first after a set of 13 laser radial (dinghy) sailing races?

Not likely, unless they all go to Stanford.

Severed leg: the kieran.

I’m learning to love cycling, but what the heck is the kieran? When I was young we had a family friend named Kieran. He was an Irishman, a wonderful storyteller, musician and drinker. As far as I’m concerned, a one-hour video of Kieran sleeping would be more entertaining than an hour of kieran racing.

The race starts with a bunch of riders slowly following the world’s nerdiest motorcycle around the

velodrome. Here’s the tricky part, it seems: they’re not allowed to pass the nerd until several laps have been completed. But in the Olympic final race they kept passing the nerd. Then they’d stop the whole race and talk about it for half an hour.

“You passed the nerd.”

“Did I? But he’s going so slowly. And did you see his dreadful helmet?”

“Yes, but rules are rules.

I’ve got no choice but to talk about it with my fellow judges for 30 minutes, and then give you a stern warning.”

Then they’d get back on their bikes, ride for a bit and pass the nerd too soon again and wait for another half hour.

By this time even the racers’ parents were flipping to other channels, searching for the latest episode of Sleeping Irishman.

Severed golden leg: to swimming, for still being

boring except for the Canadian teenagers. I’ve often ragged on swimming for being a dull sport to watch. On TV it’s just a bunch of swim caps and arms thrashing about chasing a digital yellow line.

This year’s meet was more of the same, with the added perk of every race ending with Elliotte Friedman getting the winner’s name wrong (sorry Elliotte – way to own your mistakes). It’s also hard to take any sport seriously in which a 16-year-old kid can dive right in and destroy 26-year-olds who should be in their athletic primes.

But hey, this year those kids were Canadian, including West Vancouver’s Emily Overholt and new national hero Penny Oleksiak! Exciting stuff, no matter what Elliotte calls them (kidding, kidding).

Gold medal: Canadian women. You rock. And how about West Vancouver skier

It’s not camping without weenies and s’mores Dear Editor: I wonder if more people have written off camping in B.C., as I have. (I gave away my camper and all my camping stuff, lots of it ended up in the dump.) The campfire bans have ruined something that my kids looked forward to more than Christmas (seriously).

The straw that broke this camel’s back was a ban at Porteau Cove a couple of years ago (I didn’t document it, but I remember it).

It was cold and raining but we weren’t allowed to

have a fire in our treeless, beachfront gravel campsite, next to a paved road, with running water and a fire extinguisher in my camper.

It was just plain stupid. Fifty bucks a night we paid for that ...

In the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s they used to give away free firewood at Alice, Cultus and Rathtrevor! How did those campsites not burn to the ground? It’s always been hot and sunny in August, yet somehow those campgrounds survived 100 years with campfires roaring at

every site.

These blanket (complete) bans are a total over reaction. Has a forest fire ever actually been caused by a supervised campfire in a staffed provincial campground (the kind with fire rings, running water, etc.)?

There’s no info on it online, but logic dictates that Cultus, Alice Lake, Manning and Rathtrevor would have all burned to the ground almost immediately, so I’m guessing it’s no.

Brock Bishop North Vancouver

Amalgamate North Vancouver and change name while we’re at it Dear Editor: Having been born in the old North Vancouver Hospital, and living here all my life, I think it has come time to change the name of North Vancouver. Let’s get serious about this. First of all, it is time to amalgamate the City and District of North Vancouver. Should have been done 50 years ago. And it is

also time to change the name of North Vancouver.

It sounds like we are part of Vancouver, which we are not. The name North Vancouver is outdated.

We need to have a different name for the amalgamated city and district.

There are many hundreds, and even thousands of people who live here, who

would like to have a different name for where we live. We don’t even want to sound like we are part of Vancouver. I would suggest your readers send in suggestions as to what we could call the newly amalgamated city and district of “Old North Vancouver.”

Rio Games a tipping point for Olympics From page 8

coaches and spectators have legitimately been robbed by weapon-wielding thugs during these Games. A bullet landed in a media tent, a huge camera fell from the sky and injured spectators, and volunteers aren’t showing up for their shifts. Oh, and Brazil’s

president wasn’t at the opening ceremonies because she’s facing impeachment.

These Games feel like a tipping point in which the world will finally acknowledge that sending the Olympics to a new place every four years is a horrible idea. Instead there should be a rotation of maybe three or four cities that have

the venues and infrastructure ready to go so that we don’t have to watch a new city get pillaged every four years. The whole system is dirtier than Guanabara Bay, and we need someone smart to concoct a plan to get us out of this mess. Get Ryan Lochte on the phone! aprest@nsnews.com

BRIGHTLIGHTS! by Lisa King Doubles by the Shore The West Vancouver Tennis Club held its second annual Doubles by the Shore Tournament July 17-23.

The Tennis BC-sanctioned week-long event of fun and competitive doubles featured a players’ reception, a fun social and prizes. The West Vancouver Tennis Club was established in 1925, at which time it had three clay courts and fewer than 50 members. It has since grown to a five-court facility, which is covered six months of the year, with more than 450 adult members and 150 junior members. The not-for-profit club hosts regular social events, such as racquet demo nights and round robin tournaments. For more information, visit wvtc.info.

Lonsdale

Hanging out at the Fun City Festival

North Van’s Slide the City, Car Free Day likely here to stay ANDY PREST aprest@nsnews.com

It’s 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning, and City of North Vancouver community development worker Juliana Buitenhuis is already on the job in Lower Lonsdale.

She’ll be on her feet for the next 16 hours or so, co-ordinating Fun City Festival, a city initiative that combines Slide the City with Car Free Day to turn Lonsdale into a rollicking street party. On Sunday she’ll do it all again. On Monday she can barely walk, but then a man comes in to city hall to tell her what he thought of the wet and wild weekend that just went down.

“He had been living around Lonsdale for 47 years,” Buitenhuis recalls. “He came in to say that he had never seen so many happy people on the street. He actually had tears in his eyes.

He was so overjoyed to see people having such a great time and bringing so many people together.”

This is just the second year of this Lower Lonsdale extravaganza – the event was rebranded as Fun City Festival this year and stretched from one day into two – but this already has the look of an annual tradition that could grow into one of the marquis weekends on the North Shore social calendar. And it is, in large part, Buitenhuis’s baby.

In many circles, the North Shore long had a reputation as a relatively sleepy suburb next door to a relatively sleepy city. Buitenhuis has been out to change that, and one of her biggest

Lara MacFarlane, 15, of Vancouver Circus School wows the crowd with an acrobatic performance in the Pipe Shop as part of the Fun City Festival hosted by the City of North Vancouver last weekend.

PHOTO CINDY GOODMAN moves was going after Slide the City when a proposal to bring the 1,000-foot waterslide to Main Street was turned down by the City of Vancouver.

30 minutes. More than 6,000 sliders made a splash this year completing 30,000 total slides, up from 5,000 and 20,000 last year.

The weekend also included live music, a circus school demonstration in the Pipe Shop, a beer garden, kids zone and more, with approximately 400 volunteers on hand to keep things moving. With the road closed, the biggest traffic congestion was actually on the SeaBus, said Buitenhuis, as sliders from Vancouver raced north, causing some one-sailing wait times during peak hours.

Buitenhuis was there all weekend watching the fun unfold. It’s neat to see Lonsdale – often cursed for its steepness – suddenly praised for its steepness, she says.

“It’s much more fun to slide down than it is to bike up,” she says with a laugh.

“The street was just totally transformed, so it was neat to kind of see it reimagined as people kind of ‘embraced the hill,’ which they often fight against. Lonsdale is pretty steep. To be able to use the grade of Lonsdale for something fun is pretty cool.”

So did Buitenhuis, the woman whose phone call greased the skids for this wild ride, get a chance to get off her feet for a few minutes and onto a tube for the slide?

Returning to post-summer routines should not mean less sleep

As much as we would love to continue our relaxed summer days and nights, returning to a regular routine is something we all look to do mid-August. Whether our kids are returning to school, or we are coming to the end of our own vacation, sooner or later we all face the need for regular routines and sleep schedules.

So here are some suggestions from Dr. Sharnell Muir about how to make it easier for you and your family to return to your regular schedules: ■ Routine time to bed and time to rise. Even on days when you don’t need to wake at a routine time, do it. This will maintain your Circadian rhythm and help ensure you are tired enough to retire at a proper time. Getting your required 7-8 hours of sleep is difficult when you stay up late, shorten your sleeping hours, or when you have slept in so long you are not tired enough to sleep at bedtime.

roasting marshmallows with the kids. My suggestion is no caffeine or sugary food and drinks after noon whenever possible.

■ Maintain a bedroom conducive to sleep. This can be difficult with warm summer evenings but try to keep the bedroom dark, cool and quiet. Some people find eye-masks and a cooling fan helpful when days are longer and nights warmer.

Maintaining a regular sleep schedule often goes out the window during the summer. So if you have lost the rhythm, it’s important to re-establish your regular routine if you are to remain healthy throughout the year.

Regardless of the season, poor sleep quality – as in Snoring or Sleep Apnea – can also affect your health

in several ways, some of which can be very serious.

So if, despite having a regular sleep routine and adequate hours of sleep, you still wake up tired, or are sleepy during the day, you really should be assessed.

A simple consult and sleep study can easily check to see whether snoring is affecting your health, or whether your have a more serious underlying Sleep Apnea which can contribute significantly to problems with your health.

Scammers aren’t always from faraway lands

Seniors can face financial abuse from family Seniors are increasingly aware of frauds, scams and financial abuse … or are they?

An Aug. 5 CBC article titled “Tech-savvy millennials getting scammed more than seniors” stated that 11 per cent of seniors reported losing money in a scam, while 34 per cent among the 18 to 24 demographic reported losing money.

Deborah Brady of the Better Business Bureau in Ontario said, “Seniors have been getting a little more savvy. They are preparing themselves by learning about the scams and are now less likely to fall for them. They’re

Older and Wiser Margaret Coates not targeted any less, but they’re not falling for the scams as much.”

This good news means that the word is getting out to seniors about the dangers of scams. Walk into any seniors centre on the North Shore and you will find a presentation about frauds and scams or posters alerting people to them.

Is the news getting out about other less public forms

of abuse for seniors though?

Not according to Martha Jane Lewis, chair of the B.C. Council to Reduce Elder Abuse (CREA). She says that a major challenge for her organization is raising awareness about financial abuses which might arise among seniors and their families or friends, such as joint bank accounts, undocumented loans to children, putting children on title of property, joint credit cards and co-signing loans.

At the John K. Friesen Conference held in May at Simon Fraser University, Lewis and colleague Hilde Deprez, a notary with an older clientele, went through each of the possible financial abuses listed above. They noted how each of these arrangements between adult children and seniors could become abusive and suggested ways to prevent these abuses. For more information

joint account can be accessed by either party which means a senior loses power over how the funds are spent.

Lewis and Deprez’s recommendation is to set up a new account which is smaller than the senior’s main account and to also make sure funds from the account become part of the estate.

If you are a senior experiencing financial abuse, or know of one, there are organizations ready to help.

B.C. Centre for Elder Abuse and Support (BC CEAS) works to prevent elder abuse across the entire province. They provide assistance and support to older adults who are, or may be, abused and those whose rights have been violated.

In my last column I said that one of the reasons debt is rising for some seniors is because they lend or give money to their adult children.

Many of the loans, which are often undocumented or at best poorly documented, are never paid back. Adult children of seniors may see these loans as gifts because of a sense of entitlement (the money is part of their inheritance), greed or infantilism (I know best how to spend my parent’s money). Although there is a legal presumption that money given to an adult child is a loan and not a gift, Lewis and Deprez’s advice to seniors is to get good documentation for the loan to save on complications later.

Joint bank accounts can backfire for seniors if they don’t take precautions when setting these up. Money in a Learn all about different bird species, bird behaviours and nature in general.

These days, we may be wary of Internet scams originating from strangers in distant locations. Let’s also be aware of the potential for financial abuse of seniors that can occur much closer to home.

Wilkinson and Foster finish just off the podium A pair of North Shore athletes just missed the medals as the Rio Olympics get set to wrap up.

North Vancouver’s Tiffany Foster helped Canada to a fourth-place finish in equestrian team jumping Wednesday. The Canadians finished in a third-place tie with Germany following the final round of jumping, forcing a jump-off to

determine the bronze winner. In the jumpoff Germany put together a perfect score of zero faults while the Canadian riders scored eight faults, falling to fourth place.

Foster, riding Tripple X III, also made the final in the individual jumping competition where she placed 26th.

Her teammate Eric Lamaze landed in a six-way tie for first place following the final individual round Friday,

Wetmore Motors

eventually earning bronze after placing third in a massive jumpoff.

Earlier in the week North Vancouver’s Lauren Wilkinson and the women’s eights rowing team pulled their way to a fifth-place finish at Lagoa Stadium. The United States won the race followed by Great Britain and Romania.

Wilkinson was a member of the eights team that claimed silver at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

CULLEN, Harry George April 25, 1934 - August 11, 2016 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harry Cullen, loving husband to Jean (nee Mason), dedicated father to Tracey (Paul) Gallant and Lisa (David) Robinson, and caring grandfather to Danica, Caprice, Bailey, Isabel and Angus.

Harry was raised in Howick, Quebec, and attended Bishops University. He taught high school in the Chateauguay Valley and ended his teaching career while principal of the Intermediate School in Franklin Centre. Harry and Jean married in 1964, and a few years later moved to Fredericton where he attended UNB Law School. The family moved to Vancouver’s North Shore in 1970 and Harry began his law career. A kind and patient man, with a dry sense of humour, Harry’s interests included tennis, curling and hiking in his later years. But always most important to Harry was his family, who will miss him dearly.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to UBC Hospital, Purdy Pavillion, 2221 Wesbrook Mall, Room M36, Vancouver, BC V7T 2B5, would be appreciated. All funds raised will be used for Parkinson’s Disease research. No service by request.

Dave is survived by his loving wife, Sue, his daughters Cindy (Rob) and Karen (Danny), his 5 grandchildren Danny, Jason, Jessica, Jacob and Ryan and his sister Heather Weeks. Dave spent his career working on the water: fishing in Active Pass, decking with the Federal fisheries, operating the seabus and tugs in local waters and finally with his own business, Hands on Boating. Dave was a devoted family man who loved us well and championed our lives. The family would like to thank Faye, his special companion during his illness, and the caring staff at Kiwanis Care Center. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Kiwanis Daisy Project. There will be a private Celebration of Dave’s Life in September.
