NEB chair says they won’t pay policing costsNEB trying to have it both ways: CorriganWanda [email protected]

The National Energy Board (NEB) is trying to have it both ways, says Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

He was responding to comments made to the NewsLeader by NEB chair and CEO Peter Watson while in the Lower Mainland last week.

Protesters had been a constant issue for police after Kinder Morgan acted on an NEB order allowing it to conduct study work in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, against the city’s wishes.

When told that Corrigan plans to seek compensation from the NEB and Kinder Morgan for the costs of policing the protest, Watson said, “Those issues are really a matter between the company and the local stakeholders involved. I don’t see it as an issue for the National Energy Board.

“To the role of the NEB, we’re really just trying to ensure that we get the information on our records so we can make a decision,” Watson said.

Court fight over unclaimed lottery ticketDan Fergusonblack Press

A Burnaby woman believes she has solved the mystery of the unclaimed $50-million lottery ticket that someone bought in Langley back in March.

Gayleen Rose Elliott is convinced that a co-worker, who was responsible for buying tickets for a workplace lottery pool, made the buy and is trying to conceal the fact

to avoid sharing the winnings.So Elliott has filed a $52 million

lawsuit against the co-worker, identified in her statement of claim as Dalbir Sidhu.

The two were part of a group of employees at the Shoppers Drug Mart who would chip in $5 every week to buy a mix of tickets with preselected numbers and Quick Picks where the numbers are randomly generated by the lottery terminal that dispenses tickets.

The notice of civil claim filed in the Vancouver BC Supreme Court

registry says that when news of the unclaimed ticket in Langley surfaced, Elliott asked Sidhu about the status of their lottery tickets.

She said Sidhu at first claimed he bought the tickets at an Esso gas station on 152 Street in Surrey.

But he couldn’t produce copies of the tickets, and a check with the BC Lottery Corporation showed the pre-selected numbers were not sold on the March 14 date.

Sidhu “claimed he forgot to purchase the March 14, 2014 [pool] tickets due to an inadvertent

recording error on his part and prior family engagements happening in or around March 14, 2014 [the date the $50 million ticket was sold].”

The statement of claim maintains Sidhu actually bought the winning ticket in Langley and must share the money with the 12 members of the lottery pool.

It accuses Sidhu of “knowingly converting” the money from the ticket for his own use, but does not go into detail.

Joe Guzzo’s first real job was at McDonald’s.

And he never left.In fact, in the 40 years

since Guzzo cleaned tables at the restaurant chain’s North Burnaby location at Hastings and Alpha he’s done almost every food service oriented job for the company. And now, he now owns seven franchises around Metro Vancouver, including the one at Market Crossing on Marine Way. Every step up McDonald’s corporate ladder has been documented in a framed display of photos and business cards that he has hanging in each of his restaurants.

Guzzo said he never imagined he’d be dedicating his life to burgers and fries when he was running from Alpha secondary school to put in a quick noon-hour shift serving his friends five days a week.

While they were spending

their lunch money, Guzzo was earning his, and getting a free meal to boot. The 45-minute stint between classes meant one less lunch his mother had to prepare for his large Italian immigrant family that included eight brothers and sisters.

“I found it fun,” he said. “It’s hard work but you got to meet a bunch of your friends.”

When Guzzo’s application to study at BCIT to become a machinist was rejected, he decided to bide his time by working full-time at the restaurant. By the time he was 23, he was a manager.

Guzzo moved around the chain, gaining more responsibility for larger locations along the way. He managed the McDonald’s on Main and Terminal outside the Expo 86 grounds during the big fair. He became a regional manager, ran the training department, and also served corporate stints in Ontario and

Alberta. Along the way, he’s seen a lot of changes in the fast food industry.

Today, customers are more educated about what they choose to eat, said Guzzo. And they’ve got more choices for their dining dollar.

“Ultimately the customers will vote with their purchasing habits.”

That’s meant stretching the restaurant’s menu beyond burgers and fries, lifting the veil on how their food is prepared and the ingredients used.

“There are so many players in the game now. You’ve got to be sharper.”

That hasn’t dissuaded Guzzo from bringing other family members into the

fold. His wife, Mary-Anne, does the books and payroll for his restaurants. His eldest son, Giovanni, is a regional manager and another son is working the counter at Market Crossing while he studies for his business degree at Douglas College.

“I’m trying to make it a family business.”

Slinging burgers a lifelong vocation

MArIO BArteL/neWsLeADerJoe Guzzo has documented his career journey through McDonald’s from a 15-year-old kid cleaning tables at the restaurant in North Burnaby to an owner of seven franchises in the Lower Mainland.

“And it is outside of our control how others choose to respond to that. I just feel that that’s an issue that others will need to put their minds to.”

That’s not how Corrigan sees it.

“The chairman seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth,” said Corrigan.

“How can you deal with someone who already has made up his mind and tells the press what his position is before we even have a chance to argue in front of the board?”

Corrigan said the costs of the protest are still being finalized

but estimated it will be roughly $1 million. The question is what the city’s share will be through the Burnaby RCMP and how much may be covered by senior

governments due to the use of regional policing teams and as part of their existing budgets.

Corrigan believes the city has a “pretty persuasive” case that the NEB should play a role in funding the costs.

He called it “a little hypocritical” that the federal regulatory body can have jurisdiction in forcing the city not to enforce its bylaws against Kinder Morgan and their work

in the park, but won’t be involved in the policing costs. “The idea that the federal government only wants to give orders and doesn’t want to pay any of the expenses probably won’t be very popular.”

Kinder Morgan’s survey work was to determine whether it could tunnel through the mountain as part of the proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline.

“We have heard, through the media, that the City of Burnaby intends to try to recover costs from Trans Mountain for policing services on Burnaby Mountain,” the company said in an emailed statement. “To date, we haven’t received any correspondence or request on the matter from the

City. We are always happy to sit down with the City to discuss matters related to the Project.”

But according to media reports, Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said at a telephone town hall meeting last week that policing costs are a municipal responsibility.

Corrigan said he asked city staff to look into the comments and after listening to the town hall they concluded that Anderson was speaking in general about policing costs and not specifically about those from the protest.

“We don’t want to try and put him in a corner in relation to that,” Corrigan said of Anderson.

However, he said he was “more interested” in the NEB’s stance.

“Usually when you exercise authority you better have the resources to enforce it. The National Energy Board knew or should’ve known there’d be massive protests and there’d be these problems. And they should’ve been prepared to give the resources that would allow them to look after their jurisdiction,” Corrigan said.

He reiterated his position: “If [Kinder Morgan] would’ve obeyed our bylaws there wouldn’t have been protests and there wouldn’t have been police [to pay for].”

Elliott’s lawyer is demanding $52 million plus interest, along with additional damages for fraud and breach of contract.

The written notice of civil claim, filed on Dec. 1, contains allegations that have not been proven in court. Sidhu has 21 days to respond to the allegations.

When it comes to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proposal, National Energy Board chair and CEO Peter Watson is sure of one thing—the NEB decision won’t make everyone happy.

Watson was responding to the comments of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan that the NEB’s review process is “flawed” and that the regulatory authority’s credibility is at issue.

“We do understand that as we do our work not everybody is going to agree with us because we do have our job, and our

mandate is to assess the range of views and assess the evidence and then come to a decision. So almost by definition someone or some of the parties in every process will disagree with us.”

Watson was in the Vancouver area for meetings and media interviews to raise awareness of what the NEB does, and its role in regulating pipeline safety. Just 90 days

into his new job, the former deputy minister for Alberta’s energy and environment ministries said he was surprised that all the NEB’s resources are in Calgary at its headquarters.

To improve its ability to build relationships and connect with people in the communities where energy infrastructure such as pipelines exist, the NEB plans to open satellite offices across the country.

Some staff, including inspections and audit personnel, are expected to be relocated to Metro Vancouver by April, Watson said.

The recent protests against Kinder Morgan, Trans Mountain’s owner, on Burnaby Mountain, saw more than 100 protesters arrested for civil contempt, before the charges were thrown out by a judge.

Not everyone will be happy

prove them wrong. Many of

these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.TF: Ontario and Quebec have

taken a page from your book. They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you

think?PCC: I think they took our

five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.TF: What about the conditions

they have added?PCC: One of the things they

say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.TF: All the way to New

Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fracturing myth?PCC: Yes. Somehow they

all watched an American

mockumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard. TF: Finance Minister Mike

de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view?PCC: Like any family that’s

been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting for the food bank, and campaigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure all children have something waiting for them under the Christmas tree.

This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them. But the best they can hope for is to alleviate some of the need.

The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign.

According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining. The B.C. Child Poverty Report Card says 153,000 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012.

Last year, the report said 169,240 children.

First Call set out 19 recommendations in its report with a goal of reducing the provincial child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020.

The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem.

Back in 1989 – yes, 25 years ago – all political parties in the House of Commons collectively vowed to end child poverty in a decade.

We’re still waiting. And, obviously, it’s not an easy solution to come by, but when we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change.

We can’t wait another 25 years.—Black Press

COMMENTRe: B.C. Federation of Labour votes to back transit referendum

I live in Maple Ridge and am tired of paying the bill for Vancouver and Surrey transit system and we got nothing in MR. They want the most expensive system in the world, SkyTrain—why not light rail so we may all benefit to have a decent transportation system?

If the unions took a vote of their membership in the Lower Mainland it would be shot down. People are fed up with more tax.

Wilfred Mcintyre

• • • • •

Oh please. This just serves to politically divide the referendum between those who don’t want their taxes to go up, and those who prefer the tax-and-spend = more jobs approach.

The referendum is just a way for the province to download responsibility for tax hikes directly to the municipalities. Just like the HST referendum, the voters of B.C. will vote down anything they don’t understand the ramifications of.

Kris Hadikin

• • • • •

No surprise here. More buses = more bus drivers = more union members.

Donald Malcolm Johnston

• • • • •

Yet no one supporting more money for TransLink seems to understand many taxpayers have no more money to give. Between stagnant wages, food, property taxes, hydro, user fees like MSP going up and everything else going up most people are tapped right out.

THIRD PARTY PRIVILEGERe: Burnaby Mountain protests just the beginning, MP says

Once again the NDP show their true anti everything colours. Just one more reason why they will never ever gain a majority in this country. But as a third party I suppose you can say what you want but the vast majority will

not be listening.Tom Anstruther—online comment

CONTEMPT INDEEDRe: Judge tosses contempt charges against oil pipeline protesters due to GPS errors

Kinder Morgan’s own CIVIL CONTEMPT for the communities in and around Burnaby Mountain has become evident. In the process, they have helped forge relationships and galvanize the resistance to their ill-considered project. We have seen solidarity throughout the Lower Mainland, across Canada, and even beyond. Just

look at the ball Kinder Morgan got rolling...

As part of Kinder Morgan’s proposal to almost triple capacity of the pipeline, it is looking into the feasibility of routing it through a tunnel in Burnaby Mountain itself to its Westridge Marine Terminal.

Of the protests, Watson said, “We understand that people take these issues really seriously. We understand they care, they’re passionate, the issues around energy development, you know, are emotional. And we understand that.”

But he said the panel will not consider the protests as part of its review of the project. It will only consider evidence provided by people deemed to be directly affected by the project or who have something relevant to tell the panel. That is, only those who have been granted intervenor or commenter status.

“The Trans Mountain expansion, we’ve got the largest number of intervenors on that application than we’ve ever had for a hearing in our history,” he said in response to criticism the NEB is no longer allowing cross-examination of participants.

The NEB granted intervenor status to 400 applicants who will be allowed to speak at the hearings, and commenter status to 1,250 who can file letters of comment.

In contrast, there were only about 125 active intervenors in the review of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, and close to 10,000 letters of comment. And what has been more typical in NEB history

is, at most, a few dozen intervenors. He added that close to 1,000 are

expected for Trans Canada’s proposed Energy East pipeline from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada.

“The reality is the challenge we have is how do we logistically run a process that fairly and properly engages those people and ensures they get their information on the public record. How do we do that in an effective manner when we’re having to deal with so many people? So it is, quite frankly, a challenge for the board.”

While some have criticized the NEB process for being rushed in comparison to that for Northern Gateway, Watson said that’s due to the federal government recently changing regulations such as the allowable timeframe for such processes.

Northern Gateway took almost four years before a decision was made, he said.

“Four years is a long time. It’s about the average length of time of an entire economic cycle if you look at economic cycles over the last 100 years in North America. I do understand why Parliament might have been concerned about the length of time for the process,” said Watson. “Sometimes investment will come and go, sometimes market opportunities won’t always exist.”

And 99 per cent of all such NEB hearings have been completed within the new 15-month time frame, so “it’s doable.”

The discovery of eight syringes near a commercial building in Burnaby Heights isn’t cause for alarm. Yet.

Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association, said the needles were collected over the past couple of weeks during a routine litter pick-up by two part-time workers employed to keep the Heights tidy. She said needles don’t usually turn up in their trash collection rounds.

“We’re hoping it’s a bit of an anomaly,” said Kolic.

Merchants and building managers in the Heights have been alerted about the discovery and have been asked to be extra vigilant for the needles and any sign of who might be leaving them. Kolic said the RCMP’s community policing office has also been advised.

The litter detail is one of several initiatives the merchants group has implemented over the years to keep the shopping district along Hastings Street safe and attractive for customers and residents.

Another is a security alert shared with all their members

about attempted break-ins or con-artists who might be trying to cause trouble in the area.

“It keeps all of our merchants united, they keep an eye out for each other,” said Kolic. “It’s been a very effective way of keeping our merchants communicating with each other.”

Kolic said the association is working with the RCMP to determine if some sort of change in the neighbourhood precipitated the appearance of the needles, such as the closure of a squat house.

“It could be just something temporary,” she said.

Needles spike in Heights not yet a concern

On the other hand, Watson stressed he won’t hesitate to extend the time frame if the panel needs more time to collect the information it needs. In fact, that’s the case with Trans Mountain, which was granted an extension so Kinder Morgan could do its survey and geotechnical study work for its tunnel proposal.

As for the NEB not allowing the issue of climate change to be raised in the process, he said it’s not part of its jurisdiction. The NEB only looks after the interprovincial pipeline. Provincial and federal governments address issues upstream

and downstream of pipelines. “I know people are frustrated with that but it’s

just something that’s not within our jurisdiction and we’re unable to go there as a result.”

The NEB panel has just finished its four oral hearings by First Nations groups and is waiting for Kinder Morgan to file its Burnaby Mountain findings, and for information looking into the marine shipping aspect. Then participants will have a second chance to submit questions to the company, this time about the new information that is filed. The first time, intervenors submitted more than 10,000 questions to Kinder Morgan.

Marine fitters program at BCITB.C. students now have access

to a training course to help them secure jobs expected to be in demand after Seaspan secured $8 billion in federal government shipbuilding contracts a few years ago.

B.C. Institute of Technology officially launched its marine fitter program recently showcasing the first class of students to media. The first group of students are with the Aboriginal Community Career Employment Services Society (ACCESS) who recently completed the metal fabrication foundation class.

The intensive four-level training program will prepare apprentices for work in shipyard production, including assembly of ship components such as hull frames and stringers, hatches and covers, decking and deck structures, and cabins.

The students will also

complete training in boilermaking and welding before starting the specialized marine-focused training.

The marine fitter program was developed through partnerships between Seaspan, the Ministry of Advanced Education, BCIT, the Industry Training Authority of BC, ACCESS, Camosun College, and members of the marine industry.

“Today’s announcement marks the latest milestone in the continued rebirth of the once thriving shipbuilding industry in British Columbia,” said Jonathan Whitworth, CEO of Seaspan in a press release.

“Seaspan is proud to partner with BCIT on this exciting new program that will help provide specialized knowledge and training for thousands of young people for years to come, as we develop and grow a world-class shipbuilding and ship repair

centre of excellence on the West Coast.”

BCIT president Kathy Kinloch said, “With the anticipated increase in the number of skilled tradespeople needed in the marine sector, the marine fitter program will allow graduates to ‘hit the ground running’ in shipbuilding.”

The marine trades are already being offered at BCIT through its Shipbuilding and Ship Repairs Entry Level Training (SLRET) program that was partially funded through the provincial government’s Skills Development Employment Benefit ($150,000). The new program, which received $75,000 in provincial funding to develop its curriculum, will further bolster those efforts.

“We want B.C. students and workers to be first in line for B.C. jobs,” said Burnaby North Liberal MLA Richard T. Lee.

TIPS TIPS for last-minute shoppers for last-minute shoppers

STAYING SAFESTAYING SAFE


Holiday shoppers tend to fall into three distinct camps. There are those people who have completed all of their shopping and wrapping even before November ends. Others shop in the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Finally, many people wait until the last minute, and such shoppers are the ones seen rushing store to store Dec. 24.

Waiting until the last possible second to purchase a gift may not prove much of a problem when shopping for birthday gifts. But come the holiday season, such procrastination may find shoppers perusing limited inventories and dealing with other frantic proscrastinators.

But even those shoppers who still plan to put off their holiday shopping can make the most of such stalling this holiday season.

• Consider eGift cards. Many retailers offer digital gift cards that can be emailed in a matter of minutes. Purchase the card from the online retailer and email the redemption code to the gift recipient. Time the email to arrive on Christmas morning or include all of the necessary information in a holiday card.

• Ship to store. Some shoppers like the convenience of ship-to-store services. This enables a person to purchase a gift online but avoid shipping charges by having the item

made available at a store location. In-stock items are typically ready the day of purchase, and this helps you avoid crowds and impulse buys, as online purchases are typically available at special pick-up locations in the store that allow online shoppers to skip long lines at the registers.

• Avoid gimmick gifts. Skip the “as seen on TV” aisle at the store or trendy infomercial gifts. Such gifts may suggest to their recipients that you waited until the last minute to buy the gifts and then really didn’t have any good ideas.

• Expect extra charges and factor such charges into your budget. Procrastinating may work for your schedule, but expect to pay more if you shop online and require shipping. You will probably need to expedite shipping if you expect to have gifts delivered on time. Verify the delivery date before

making any purchases. Paying more for shipping may outweigh the hassle of driving to store after store searching for gifts. Online retailers like Amazon may even offer selective delivery on Christmas Eve.

• Check store hours. Some stores offer extended shopping hours to meet the needs of last-minute shoppers. You may be able to visit early morning or late at night to skip the crowds. Certain department stores time sales with these extended hours, such as “early bird” or “night owl” specials, so you may even be rewarded for procrastinating.

• Shop smaller retailers. One way to avoid the hassles that often come with holiday shopping is to patronize smaller, independent shops. Chances are the crowds will be smaller at these shops and you may have access to a more unique selection of gifts than you would find at the nearby mall.

Many stores offer extended hours around Christmas. Check their website or give them a call—it may help you get those last-minute gifts sorted out.

Holidays


It’s time to deck the halls! People are getting into the holiday spirit by adorning their homes with festive décor, decorating the tree, and stringing indoor and outdoor lights. These colourful decorations and lighting add sparkle to the holidays, but while outfitting your home with ornaments, be sure to keep safety top-of-mind.

CSA Group, a leading testing and certification organization, offers the following safety tips for a worry-free winter wonderland:

Inspire envy, safely – Create a dazzling lighting display that will make the neighbours jealous! But before working with outdoor wiring, be sure to turn off the electricity to the supply outlet and unplug the connection. Keep in mind when hanging lights outdoors to keep electrical connectors above ground, out of puddles and snow, and away from metal eavestroughs.

Don’t be fooled – When purchasing light strings, extension cords and electrical decorations, look for the certification mark of an accredited organization such as CSA, which provides assurance the products comply with applicable standards for safety and performance.

Stay cozy – Besides their decorative qualities, gas fireplaces can provide warmth for you and your loved ones

to curl up in front of. To avoid hazards, be sure to inspect the fireplace before each use and have a qualified professional serviceperson check it annually.

Be bright when you light – Buy flame-resistant decorations and never place open flames or candles near flammable materials, such as wreathes,

trees or paper decorations. Never nail or tack lighting strings to a wall as this may damage insulation and create a shock or fire hazard. Instead, use insulated fasteners to hold light strings in place, rather than metal nails or tacks. And always have working carbon monoxide and smoke alarms.

Keep the season safe

Should a visit to Mum come first this Christmas?Dear Eve,

Holiday time is just around the corner and I am feeling the stress. I have always gone to visit my mom back east so she won’t be alone during Christmas. She still lives on her own and manages pretty well for a woman of 84, but she won’t fly anymore so there is no chance of her coming here.

Recently I met a woman and she is expecting me to be her escort at her family’s celebrations. This would be my first time meeting them. I feel torn deciding what to do. I would rather be with my girlfriend, but feel very guilty not seeing mom.

Norman

Dear NormanHard to be in two places at

once. I say keep the status quo this year on visiting your mom. If your relationship with this

woman gets more serious, then next year, maybe take her along on the trip. Or at least you will be able to give mom the heads up well in advance that you won’t be visiting next year on the holidays.

If you can arrange it, return from your trip to spend New Year’s with your new gal and meet her family on New Year’s Day.

LAUGHING AT OURSELVES

A tour bus driver was driving with a bus load of seniors down a highway when he was tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offered him a handful

of peanuts, which he gratefully munched up. After about 15 minutes, she tapped him on his shoulder again and she handed him another handful of peanuts.

She repeated this gesture about five more times.

When she was about to hand him another batch again he asked the little old lady, ‘Why don’t you eat the peanuts yourself ?’

‘We can’t chew them because we’ve no teeth,’ she replied. The puzzled driver asked, ‘Why do you buy them then?’ The old lady replied, ‘We just love the chocolate around them.’

Gift ideas for the special seniors in your life

With lifetimes of experiences and seemingly everything they could ever want or need in life already at their disposal, seniors can be difficult to shop for come the holiday season.

Many even insist that their family members save their money and not buy them anything for the holidays.

But if the thought of Grandma or Grandma not having something to open come the holidays is simply unacceptable, consider the following gift ideas.

Activity AssistAnce devices

The realities of getting older often mean the body slows down and activities may not be as easy as they used to be. Many active seniors are not ready to live sedentary lives, nor should they be forced to do so.

Plenty of products exist that can make life easier and more comfortable for older adults.

Television amplifying headphones are one product that can be a great fit for seniors, particularly those having difficulty hearing their televisions.

The headphones amplify the sound of the programming without disturbing others in the room, and many such headphones even allow users to mute their televisions.

This feature is perfect for someone who likes to watch TV while a spouse is sleeping or reading in the same room.

Other devices that can make life easier for seniors include magnifying products or bookholders.

In addition, gel seat cushions can take pressure off of the spine in the car or at home.

GreAt Food

Food is always a handy gift because it doesn’t take up much room and can be

enjoyed at a recipient’s leisure. Perhaps there is something

the senior in your life used to enjoy as a child but now finds hard to come by.

A search of the Internet may uncover that special treat.

You may be able to ship a specialty soft drink or favourite cookie that is not available in a nearby store.

Otherwise, ask a store manager if a particular item that’s not in stock in the store can be a special order.

Photos

What grandparent does not enjoy looking at his or her family members?

Computer-savvy men and women can use photo software to design personalized photo books, calendars, mugs, and other photo-related gifts.

Just about anything can be emblazoned with a photo, including tote bags and pillows.

Another idea is to collect old photos and compile a memory book.

Scan the images so they are preserved digitally and then print out the images in a book that includes the family history.

time

Seniors who truly do not want or need anything probably will likely jump at the opportunity to spend time with loved ones.

Treat a friend or family member to a meal out or simply spend a few hours chatting at his or her home.

Sometimes the company of a new face and good conversation is the ideal gift.

Happier holidays for seniors with special needs, health issues

I enjoy the holiday season with all its twinkling lights, music, roaring fires, and especially getting together with friends. The food is abundant!

Charities are collecting a variety of items for folks less fortunate. As I was speaking with my mother who is 87 years old she reminded me that the holiday season can also be a time of great stress and sadness for some. I thought about this for a moment and then started searching for articles that may put the season into perspective for those who have seniors in their lives and also for seniors who have friends that may need a little more understanding during this time of the year.

10 TIPS TO HELP SENIORS ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS

As I was reading, I came across an article with 10 tips to help seniors enjoy the holiday season. Here they are:

Stroll down memory laneHolidays provoke

memories, which can be especially powerful in the later years of life. Older people may have difficulty remembering but are often able to share stories and observations from the past. Use picture albums, family videos and music, even theme

songs from old radio or TV programs, to help stimulate memories and encourage seniors to share their stories and experiences.

Plan aheadThe noise and confusion

of a large family gathering can lead to irritability or exhaustion for older adults. Schedule time for a nap, and consider designating a “quiet room” where an older person can take a break. Assign someone to be the day’s companion to the older person, to make sure the individual is comfortable.

Eliminate obstaclesIf a gathering is in a place

unfamiliar to an older person, remove slippery throw rugs and other items that could present barriers to someone with balance problems or who has difficulty walking. Clear the way for walkers or wheelchairs.

Avoid embarrassing moments

Try to avoid making comments that could inadvertently embarrass

an older friend or family member who may be experiencing short-term memory problems. If an older person forgets a recent conversation, for example, don’t make it worse by saying, “Don’t you remember?”

Create new memoriesIn addition to memories,

seniors need new things to anticipate. Add something new to the holiday celebration. Enjoy activities that are free, such as taking a drive to look at holiday decorations, or window-shopping at the mall or along a festive downtown street.

Be inclusiveInvolve everyone in holiday

meal preparation, breaking down tasks to include the youngest and oldest family members. Older adults with physical limitations can still be included in kitchen activities by asking them to do a simple, helpful task, like greasing cooking pans, peeling vegetables, folding napkins or arranging flowers.

Reach outSocial connectedness

is especially important at holiday times.

Reaching out to older relatives and friends who are alone is something all of us should do.

Connect people with local senior support services.

Keep on the sunny sideSeasonal affective disorder

(SAD) or winter depression is an illness that can be provoked by reductions in sunlight during the short days of winter. It is important for people confined indoors, especially those at risk for winter depression, to make time for activities that will increase exposure to daylight.

Monitor medications and alcohol

If you have senior family members, be sure to help them adhere to their regular schedule of medications during the frenzy of the holidays. Also, pay attention to their alcohol consumption during holiday parties and family gatherings. Alcohol can affect behavior or interfere with medications.

I hope these simple tips help keep the holiday season light and bright for all. Take time to enjoy the little things.
