Do you believe in angels?I do. I had a whole team of angels supporting mewhen I was a patient at Vancouver General Hospital.And I credit them with saving my life. Especially fromDr. Yarrow McConnell. Of all the angels that helpedme, she’s at the top of my list.

My story started in the spring of 2013 when Ibegan putting on weight at an alarming rate. In a fewweeks, I had gained more than 25 pounds. My stom-ach had ballooned to the size of a watermelon. I knewthat something was very wrong but I still wasn’t pre-pared for what they told me when I arrived at VGH.

I had a rare abdominal cancer that affects only onein a million people.

Dr. McConnell, my surgical oncologist at VGH, told meabout an innovative surgical treatment that could help.But it wasn’t available in BC yet.

Fortunately for me, funds were raised to purchase thepiece of equipment that was critical to the surgicalprocedure. And, on November 12, 2013, I was thefirst person to have the procedure done in BC.

Liz Eisner, grateful patient

Safety Tip:Almost four in 10 respondents to an ICBC survey feel less confi dent driving in winter. Staying off the road can sometimes be a less stressful and safer option. Instead, take public transit, get a ride with a friend or

family member who is a confi dent driver, or take a taxi.

of the WeekThis week’s ICBC tip recommends that people who feel nervous driving in poor winter conditions should take the bus or call a cab. How bad would it have to be for you to park the car?

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Riding the highway west along Route 66 for around 4,000 kilometres is on many people’s bucket lists.After completing the epic journey from Chicago to Santa Monica, California, I must say there were times during the 56 hours, 36 minutes of driving that I figured it might be the last item on my list!On the Nissan Altimate Rogue Trip we saw the spectacular in spades. And when the dozen journalist participants pulled up at the end of the road by the Santa Monica Pier, we shared a great sense of achievement. We all knew each other from new vehicle launches around the world, but this was different. This hardened, cynical bunch developed a greater camaraderie along the way and some even hugged as we gazed at the lapping waters of the Pacific.We climbed aboard the 2015 model Nissan Rogue crossovers and Altima sedans one very chilly Chicago Sunday and set out to retrace the route of this historic highway, which was decommissioned in 1985, and replaced by the I-40 freeway. Actually, routes – plural – would be more accurate as the road, which carried hundreds of thousands seeking prosperity out west, has followed a number of paths since the late 1920s. The Mother road, as it is known, carried us through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and finally California. For most of us, it was an adven-ture musically inspired by many versions of the song “Get your kicks on Route 66”.

I recall watching the TV show Route 66 in the 1960s but today tens of thousands are drawn each year to the highway by the 2006 animated movie Cars. The movie action takes place on the route, many of the fictitious locations are based on actual places, and real people inspired some of the characters.Space limitations permit just a sampling here of what we saw and did along the way. However, you can find a complete report of the journey, gallery of photographs, video links and how the vehicles fared as long-distance transportation at drivewaybc.ca. Our first contemporary culture reference came on the first day in Joliet, Illinois, where we were treated to action figures of the Blues Brothers dancing above a building close to where some of the movie action took place at the local penitentiary. The Bluesmobile was also on view, sitting atop a pole. The early part of the route features many giant-sized statues of historic figures, such as Abe Lincoln, and not so historic figures promoting various products.

Local communities have funded the restoration of many old service stations and many have a classic car parked on the forecourt. I thought we would have the first crash of the trip when the first Rogue Altima, or maybe Altimate Rogue (referring to the drivers, of course), screeched to a halt at the curb in Galena, Kansas. There at the front of the service station was the ‘real’ Tow Tater truck, on which the Cars’ character Tow Mater was based.On the way to Amarillo, Texas, we pulled into the U-Drop Inn

– a building that is the exact replica of Ramone’s Body Art Shop in the movie. I guess that could be the other way round.The next day, some of the group spray-painted mes-sages (that’s the tradition) on the Cadillac Ranch art installation of ten Cadillacs, sunk nose first into the red dirt. Seen from a distance they bore an uncanny resemblance to the Cadillac Mountain Range from,

you guessed it, Cars.The semi-desert from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Williams, Arizona offered stunning vistas and yet another movie reference. The rooms of the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook are concrete teepees. (Cozy Cone Motel in Cars.).

Side trips to the Petrified Forest and Grand Canyon National Parks left us all in awe and stunning views soon filled our camera memory sticks. The gold rush town of Oatman gave us an excellent send off for our last day though the Mojave Desert and down into Los Angeles.
