If public art aims to spark conversation, aninstallation proposed for New Westminsteris doing that before it even arrives.

New Westminster’s public art advisorycommittee recently recommended that citycouncil proceed with three installations aspart of the Vancouver Biennale: WOW NewWestminster, by Jose Resende, would be locat-ed at Westminster Pier Park in September;Blue Trees, by Konstantin Dimopolous,would go on Columbia Street in the springof 2015; and Public Furniture/Urban Trees,

by Hugo Franca, wouldbe installed at a to-be-determined location thisJune.

“It’s all or none,”Barry Mowatt, presi-dent and founder of theVancouver Biennale, toldcouncil Monday. “Youbought in to be part of theBiennale. It’s our deci-sion. … You don’t tell theOlympics what they cando in your city.”

While city council supports the Blue Treesand Public Furniture/Urban Trees installa-tions, several council members aren’t keenabout the Resende piece, which was to bea legacy piece that could be a permanentfixture in the city.

Mowatt urged the city to trust theVancouver Biennale, as it knows best howto make an impact with public art.

“We are about creating that wow factor,”he said. “That is the wow factor.”

Mowatt recalled the day he helped set upA-Maze-Ing Laughter at Davie and Denmanstreets as part of the 2009 to 2011 VancouverBiennale. While he unwrapped the 14bronze statues in the installation, passersbyunleashed a barrage of criticism.

Downtown New Westminsteris growing at such a rapid ratethat it would exceed populationprojections for 2021 with the cur-rently proposed projects.

Staff recently suggested thecity “pause” applications forhigh-density developments in thedowntown so they can completesome policy work on issues suchas density bonusing, integrationof the downtown parking studyinto the city’s zoning bylaws anda construction management planfor the downtown.

“Our feeling is that we needto finish this work before we con-sider more development applica-tions,” said Bev Grieve, the city’sdirector of development services.

A staff report states that the4,020 new units expected to beadded in the downtown throughcurrent development applica-tions already exceeds the 3,457new residential units projectedfor the downtown in 2021.

“That means that if all cur-rent development applications/inquiries were to be approved bycouncil, they would be providingsufficient housing units for theprojected growth in the down-town to just beyond 2021,” statedthe report.

The community has raisedconcerns about the number ofprojects being considered in thedowntown, Grieve said.

Staff noted that the city hasstarted to experience a “dramaticincrease” in development activ-ity in the last year. Residents

have voiced concerns about traf-fic, parking, density, size of hous-ing units, the mix of the sizes ofunits being proposed, livability,the pace of developmentand potential impacts tocommunity services andamenities.

Grieve told councilthe “pause” in consid-ering new develop-ment applications in thedowntown would allowstaff to finish importantpolicy work that wouldinform future policydecisions about develop-ment applications in thedowntown.

“We expect that this work willtake no longer than a year,” shesaid.

Not all council members, how-ever, liked the idea of puttingmajor development applicationson hold for up to a year.

Coun. Bill Harpersaid a developer couldcome into city hall nextweek and want to builda wonderful 20-storeyresidential building,but the city would sayit couldn’t be built foranother year.

“I think that’s a hugeissue – I think there arepotential revenues tothe city that are going tobe foregone,” he said.

Harper said the staff reportabout a strategic approach fordowntown development activityin 2014 is too vague to make a

decision at this time.Mayor Wayne Wright also

expressed concern that the actioncould halt development in someareas of the downtown needingto be fixed.

Council tabled the report sostaff could report back with moreinformation.

The downtown communityplan, approved in 2010, indicat-ed the city’s population couldincrease by 26,000 residents (42per cent) between 2008 and 2031.

The staff report states that 36per cent of that projected growthis expected in the downtown,which would result in that areahaving almost one quarter of thecity’s population.

Time for a development ‘pause’?

Time-out time? Development projects currently in the plans for downtown New Westminster will ex-ceed population projections for 2021, prompting staff to suggest it’s time to review policies addressinggrowth and livability in the downtown.

City staff wants toput new high-densitydevelopment on hold– but council’s notsure it’s a good ideaBY THERESA MCMANUS [email protected]

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

New Westminster SecondarySchool students are seeking sup-port for an area on Eighth Avenuethat’s been a mecca for jaywalkersfor decades.

The city’s youth advisory com-mittee has asked that city councilconsider a designated crossingarea on Eighth Avenue, near theMassey Theatre street entrance.The crossing would be located

between Sixth and Eighth streets.“I think it’s great the youth

have taken a position where theythink a crosswalk at that sec-tion would be appropriate,” saidCoun. Chuck Puchmayr.

Puchmayr commended theyouth for bringing the issue for-ward for council’s considerationand said he hopes the city gives ita serious look.

Coun. Betty McIntoshexpressed concern that a cross-walk at that location could bedangerous because of its proxim-ity to a driveway leading intothe Moody Park Arena and NewWestminster Secondary Schoolparking lot.

“There will still be jaywalk-ing,” she said.

At one of their recent meetings,

members of the youth advisorycommittee noted that a crosswalkat that location could have animpact on traffic congestion butcould also address safety issues.

Committee members statedthat there have been incidentsof students being hit by vehiclesas they jaywalked across EighthAvenue.

“Today, they are so popular,” he said.Resende’s installation consists of four

shipping containers positioned in two Vshapes on the northeastern end of thetimber wharf section of Westminster PierPark.

“I like it,” said Coun. Bill Harper, whonoted that Resende is considered thePicasso of South America.

As someone whose backgroundincludes working in industrial settings,Harper believes Resende’s piece repre-sents part of New Westminster’s industrialhistory.

“The value, if you like, of the industryand the representation in our art, is a joy,”he said.

Last week, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr saidthe installation featuring “rusty contain-ers” was like a “twist of the knife” becausethe city is overwhelmed by tractor-trailertraffic.

“It’s almost like a train wreck,” Coun.Betty McIntosh said Monday. “That isfearful. It is not anything anyone wants tobe near.”

Coun. Lorrie Williams said she’d wel-come A-Maze-Ing Laughter to the city butwonders if containers will be well receivedby the community.

Coun. Jonathan Cote said the morediscussion he hears about a piece of art,the more intrigued he becomes. He saidgood public part is meant to initiate con-versation.

“Sometimes I think communities needto take a chance, allow groups like your-selves, to push the borders,” he said.

Mayor Wayne Wright voiced concernsabout using shipping containers as art,saying they don’t bring anything posi-tive to the city. He said he has some

“angst” around the Resende piece being atWestminster Pier Park.

Representatives from the VancouverBiennale attended a special council meet-ing on Monday to address some of theconcerns raised at last week’s meeting.Because some councillors were absentfrom Monday’s meeting, council decidedto hold off on making a decision until nextweek.

Miriam Blume, director of marketingand communications, said the VancouverBiennale would help create a cultural hubthat encourages exploration from peopleinside and outside the city. The goal is tocreate a destination and experience thatwould see people coming to the city forthe day to explore the art and the otheramenities in the city.

“We are not a drive-by, ad-hoc piece ofart,” she said.

Blume said the Vancouver Biennale’scuratorial board identified legacy piecesthat would remain in place after the event,including the Resende piece.

“We really see New Westminster asbeing one of the very important anchorpoints to the entire exhibition,” she said.“We see that Jose Resende delivers onthat.”

Public art isn’t without controversy,said Blume, noting the City of Vancouverreceived more than 100 letters when A-Maze-Ing Laughter was first proposed.

“It has become Vancouver’s EiffelTower,” she said of the artwork.

Like A-Maze-Ing Laughter, Blumesaid the Resende piece delivers on the“wow factor” and will provide a “newcontemporary reference point” to NewWestminster’s history. Proposed for instal-lation in September, the Resende piecewould cost $65,000 to install, $17,500

to take down and $70,560 to relocate toanother location if the city chose to moveit elsewhere.

Blume said the piece delivers some-thing that is truly awe-inspiring andmakes people stop in their tracks and startto wonder.

“That is really special. That is hard todo,” she said. “Resende delivers on thatin spades.”

Because the Vancouver Biennale is ashared cost model with participating cit-ies, Blume said the city’s $90,000 con-tribution doesn’t begin to cover costs ofthe installations in New Westminster. Shenoted it would cost $400,000 to commis-sion the Resende work on its own so the

city is receiving “significant” value for itscontribution.

“It really is a significant cultural assetfor your community,” she said.

In 2013, city council approved in princi-ple a recommendation from the public artadvisory committee for a series of projectsin 2014, including the Vancouver Biennale.The city’s 2014 budget includes $90,000 forVancouver Biennale projects.

In addition to “open-air museums”featuring public art, Vancouver Biennaleincludes a Big Ideas education program,an international artists residency program,a tour de Biennale charity bike ride, theConversations lecture series, and BiennaleCineFest, a documentary arts cinema ini-tiative, as well as many marketing, pressand social media opportunities.

While some council members aren’tkeen on the Resende piece, Blume encour-aged council to let the Vancouver Biennaledo what it does best. She noted it has a10-year track record and a reputation atstake.

“We have a lot on the line here,” shesaid. “That is why we have gone to thebest curators around the world to ensurewe don’t blow it.”

Blume encouraged the city to let theVancouver Biennale take the city to a placeit hasn’t imagined and is unable to imple-ment on its own.

New Westminster is one of severalmunicipalities working with VancouverBiennale on the event, which will featureartists from the Middle East, North Africa,Asia, Canada, Northern Europe and SouthAmerica.

Mowatt said Resende is part of a newbreed of Brazilian artists who are begin-ning to make their presence felt aroundthe world.

Westminster since 1994 DynamicHealth and Fitness has now movedlocations to the Shops at New WestSkytrain station (3rd level besideStarbucks) and is now open for busi-ness! The new 12,000 sq ft co-edand ladies only Health and FitnessClub has been chosen by the RoyalCity Record readers as the “Best inNew West” for 14 years in a row. Thisaward-winning fitness centre is runby Jeff and Alison Humphries a localcouple that has created a thriving andsuccessful business - one that is an in-viting, unintimidating and appealingto all ages and fitness levels. Alisonbelieves part of its success comesfrom them being very approachable,hands on owners. “We really try toexcel in customer service year afteryear,” says Alison.

With over 75 pieces of cardio equip-ment like treadmills, climbmills, as-cent trainers, ellipticals, water rowersand a wide variety of strength equip-ment for all ages and fitness levelsthere is lots to choose from. “Weadded over $200,000 of brand newstate of the art equipment in addi-tion to the many equipment optionswe already had!” Jeff says. DynamicHealth and Fitness is a business suc-

cess with more than 90 per cent of itscustomer feedback forms and emailsspeaks of superior customer serviceand employee excellence.

Jeff and Alison come with a wealth ofexperience as well both having beenin the health and fitness industry asowners for over 13 years. They weresuper happy to stay in New Westand when the opportunity came upto move their business down to theShops of New West Skytrain station“we just thought we wanted to bepart of the explosive growth thatis going on in the downtown area,there’s just so much going on downhere and it gives us a chance to takeour business to a new level.” We livequite close to our business and wereally had no idea of the growth andwhat was going on in and around theskytrain station until we started build-ing our business. The landlord FirstCapital is very pro-active in buildingthe surrounding area and has wel-comed us with open arms. “It’s kindof cool - a one stop shop when youcan come to our place for a workout,grab a shake, get your groceries, doyour banking and a get a haircut allunder one roof so to speak withouthaving to drive from place to placeand worry about parking.” There isalso tons of eating choices through-out as well. The club offers over 25

group fitness classes per week includ-ing Beginners classes, Yoga, Zumba,Spinning (indoor cycling) a fantasticpersonal training department to helpyou get started a infrared sauna andtanning to service their clients.

Supporting the community over theyears is part of their whole holisticapproach to business. They havesupported local charities, such as theMonarch House (for abused womenand children), Last Door recoveryhouse for men, Terri Fox and theJingle Bell run for juvenile arthritis aswell as a Food and Toy drive everyChristmas. “We really try to supportall local schools, sports teams andnonprofit organizations as much aspossible because these are some ofthe people that have helped supportus over the years.” In 2011 we werea sponsor in a fundraiser for Japan,which helped raised $20,000,” saysJeff. We also helped support thevictims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Phil-lipines last year with a donation. “Wepersonally try to attend as many localfundraisers as possible and my wife(laughs) definitely supports the silentand live auctions.”

As a part of giving back to their cli-ents over the years they have internalpromotions, right now Jeff and Alisonare offering a terrific promotion:

For every new member an existingmember refers to them, that mem-ber receives a cheque in the mail tocover the costs of their monthly dues.Alison says “we have sent out 1000’scheques in the mail to our clientsover the years for referring theirfriends!!”

When New Westminster politiciansdecided they would take their case for afour-lane tolled Pattullo Bridge to theirneighbours, we’re not sure what theywere expecting – but it probably wasn’twhat they received.

During the last coupleof months, city councillorswent on a “charm offensive,”visiting Port Moody, PortCoquitlam, Burnaby, Coquitlam andSurrey city councils, ostensibly lookingfor support for their recommendationfor the Pattullo Bridge. While no one

refused to listen to them, Port Coquitlammayor Greg Moore said: “I would nevergo to another community to advocate onour position. I understand why they’redoing it, but it’s not normal.”

Coquitlam seemed to likea six-lane bridge – and mighteven like it closer to theirmunicipality. Port Moodyreceived New West’s recom-

mendation, but their mayor, Mike Clay,called the request “odd.” However,three of their city councillors agreedwith New West’s view on the bridge.

Burnaby had mixed feelings but actuallyleaned towards getting rid of the bridgeentirely.

And one can guess what Surreythought of the plan. Councillor JonathanCote must have picked the short straw,because he was the guy who had thejob of visiting Surrey council. Whenasked why New West created the pos-ition paper outside of discussions withTransLink and Surrey and why theRoyal City embarked on a tour to shareit with other municipalities, Cote said:“It wasn’t about pulling a fast one on

the City of Surrey. It was more about try-ing to develop an understanding of theissue as best we could.”

If the city was hoping for moreunderstanding, it may have achievedpart of that goal – but it certainly didn’tgain support. In fact, it seemed to ruba couple of our neighbours the wrongway.

However, it may have given citycouncillors some empathy for those whoappear before New West council, hat inhand, hoping for their own understand-ing on heartfelt issues.

Is democracy dyingin Canada?

Has our political systembroken down to thepoint where it threatens

democracy itself?That grim scenario is raised

in a new book that suggests thepolitical system, at the federallevel at least, has deterioratedinto a cynical, out-of-touch pro-cess where a tiny group of indi-viduals exert control at everyturn and leave everyone elsefeeling disillusioned and almostirrelevant.

Titled Tragedy in the Commons:Former Members of ParliamentSpeak Out About Canada’s FailingDemocracy, the book paints asobering picture of a federal pol-itical arena that has increasingly,largely because of the actions ofthose in it, strained its credibilitywith the very people it is sup-posed to serve.

While some of the authors’conclusions (and solutions forfixing the problem) can certainlybe challenged, the book doesraise some relevant issues forour country’s other political sys-tems, notably at the provinciallevel.

The book’s authors, AlisonLoat and Michael MacMillan,conducted more than 80 inter-

views with former members ofParliament to gauge what theyhad learned from their yearsspent serving in the House ofCommons.

It is somewhat dispiriting todiscover that many of them leftfederal politics feeling disillu-sioned and even embarrassed bytheir experiences. Many of themcite various reasons for thesefeelings: the power wielded overthem by political leaders, “backoffice forces” and the politicalparties themselves, a lack ofresources to do their job and theinsistence they follow the party“line,” no matter what.

Now, I’ve often found thatsome rookie politicians whoexcitedly enter government(or Opposition) can quicklyfeel an overwhelming sense ofdisappointment when they dis-cover their political careers don’tturn out to be quite as they hadimagined going in.

A big part of the problem isthe harsh traditions and realitiesof our parliamentary systemitself. There is little equality in it,for example, as the governmentside holds so much more powerthan the Opposition parties. Aswell, there are huge power gapsbetween backbenchers and cab-inet ministers.

There is also a childish andphony nature to the system. OurMPs (and MLAs) are subject tosilly forms of discipline (go sit inthe back!) for daring to questionthe party line, and question per-iod is often simply political

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Time to rethink incineration planDear Editor:

Now is the time to stop Metro’s plan to burn700,000 tonnes of our garbage every year for 50years. Before we commit ourselves irrevocably – toburning our children’s resources, wasting theirfossil fuels on destruction, polluting them andtheir life-support ecosystems, accelerating climatechange.

Nanaimo doesn’t want our garbage. A thousandpeople turned up at their city council meeting,resulting in a unanimous vote against the proposalto burn 380,000 tons of our garbage every yearat Duke Point. Coquitlam wants a business case.Vancouver is opposed.

Metro directors cast 49 votes against, 63 votes for,waste-to-energy incineration. Hundreds of LowerMainland residents spoke against it at the pub-

lic hearings. First Nations are opposed. FraserValley Regional District is considering legal action.Environment and community organizations areopposed.

The five-year “comprehensive performancereview” of Metro’s plan, due next year, is a chanceto take a second look. Metro can: Fast-forward tothat review, do it now. Put a hold on the contractprocess. Hear the public on the problems with theirplan. Hold hearings on alternatives to burning:energy and resource efficiency: 90 per cent recyclingand local remanufacturing. Hold a second vote,with at least two-thirds majority to pass.

Our mayors and councillors represent us onMetro’s board of directors. B.C.’s environment min-ister, premier, and opposition leader also need ourinput.

For a future,Hildegard Bechler, New Westminster◗Democracy Page 7

Don’t rush tower decisionDear Editor:

Re ’Lock-off’ suites could be 265 squarefeet (The Record, April 23).

Regarding the proposed tower at 900Carnarvon St., the project architect toldcouncil the developer wants to be in linewith city policies, then goes on to implythey need the city to bend to the demandsof the banker. So which is it? We know thebank won’t bend. Will the city? From allthe reports I’ve read, it doesn’t look likeit.

The architect also goes on to say youngpeople are willing to live in smaller andsmaller spaces. I would argue young peo-ple have no choice in this city, that they aresubject to market forces (developer’s prof-its, land costs), and that a starving personwill eat what you give him.

The original plan was for a condotower, which many residents are opposedto as well. With several other condo towersgoing up in the vicinity and with disap-pointing sales, the idea here seems to be“Put up whatever we can to turn a profitnow.” So they brainstormed and came upwith a massive rental tower they can flip toan investor, say a pension fund, and walkaway, leaving residents and the city withthe uncertain outcome.

So the spin starts. In recent months

we’ve been told there is a shortage ofaffordable rentals. Yet I’ve read of new,smaller affordable rental buildings open-ing and more on the horizon, even rightat the Quay. Where did this sudden needcome from to plunk down nearly 500 smallunits on this lot?

Despite coverage it’s hard to get a beadon what’s actually happening.

The narration from varying news sourc-es gives a different impression on thedeveloper’s motives and what council isthinking.

Another report elsewhere indicated thedeveloper has come nowhere near coun-cil’s requirements and that the window forfinancing may be closed.

For those reasons, residents of NewWestminster should have a chance to voicetheir opinion at a public hearing if a deci-sion is made to move forward on anyproject there.

New West council wants an iconic struc-ture at that corner. But iconic how? Iconicbecause it’s a beautiful, useful landmark,or iconic because it’s a rushed decisionforced by an impatient developer and abanker wringing his hands?

The world won’t end if council takesthe time and doesn’t rush while trying todecide the best use for this space. And itdoesn’t have to be a tower.

M. Styranka, New Westminster

theatre where politiciansare more actors (someworse than others) playingto the cameras than any-thing else.

Finally, real naked pol-itical power resides in theleader’s office. Alwayshas, and (unless the sys-tem undergoes profoundchange) it always will (atleast, in a majority govern-ment). How much poweroften depends on the lead-er in the office.

There is widespreadevidence of the strict con-trolling nature of PrimeMinister Stephen Harperwhen it comes to not onlywielding power in govern-ment, but over the politicalsystem itself (witness theongoing controversy overbig changes to federal vot-ing laws).

But while Harper mayhave taken the leader’soffice penchant for controlto new heights (or lows,depending on your pointof view), he’s hardly thefirst prime minister toconsolidate power in his

office. Pierre Trudeau,Brian Mulroney and JeanChretien were hardlyknown for their magnani-mous views towards theOpposition or even theirown caucus (Trudeau oncefamously labelled MPs as“nobodies”).

However, the book’sauthors make the compel-ling case that what we arewitnessing is the steadyslide of public confidencein political institutions andthe people who run themprecisely because thingslike consolidating power inthe hands of so few rarelyends well.

In B.C., our premiershave exerted control overgovernment to varyingdegrees.

The legendary W.A.C.Bennett, for example, ranhis caucus with an iron fistand micromanaged to thepoint of personally approv-ing all long-distance phonecalls (even in the civil ser-vice).

More recently, GordonCampbell had his handsin all parts of government

and consolidated power inhis office to a great degree.His successor, ChristyClark, has been much morewilling to delegate author-ity to her ministers andshows little evidence thesedays of being interestedin all the small details (oreven actually visiting theso-called Corner Office inthe capital).

While many of theassertions of the ex-MPsinterviewed for his bookmay be dismissed as sourgrapes, there’s no questionthat collectively they allpoint to an alarming ero-sion in the health of thecountry’s most importantdemocratic institution.

The steady decline invoter turnout is further evi-dence of that.

While at times ambi-tiously idealistic and evennaive in its analysis, Loatand MacMillan’s bookshows much change isneeded, and not just inOttawa. It’s clear they’reonto something.

bees and has fruit trees in his yard.The father of four started with

six hens, but a pesky raccoon man-aged to gobble up four before Perrydevised a way to keep it out. Theywere down to two before the arrivalof the runaway.

Arbo is another chicken keeperin the neighbourhood – she alsohas two hens, named Noodle andGiblet, which are of the Silver LacedWyandotte breed – handsome,plump black-and-white chickensthat produce tan eggs.

Eggs – that is the reason Arboand Perry keep chickens, thoughboth admit the cost of keeping thecoop, feeding and caring for thebirds doesn’t make their raised eggsmuch cheaper than buying an organ-ic dozen every now and then.

But there’s nothing like the feel-ing of grabbing a fresh laid egg fromthe coop to cook up. It’s especiallynice for their kids to see that animals– real, breathing beings – producethe food they eat.

Arbo and her husband, Ross,knew they wanted to have a coopwhen they moved into their house.

“Chickens are something that Ithink are a really easy way to havethe opportunity to have incredible,high-quality eggs, number 1, andthey ensure that the eggs you con-sume are from chickens who are wellkept,” says Arbo, who jokingly callsher coop Poulet Chalet.

Arbo laughs when she says whereshe got the two birds, “Craigslist.Where else do you get chickens?”

They bought them throughCharity Chicks, a now-defunct char-ity for women who were leavingtransition housing.

“I spent $30 a chicken. That’sprobably a higher price than whatmost people pay, but because itwas a charitable organization I washappy to give them the extra bucks.I’m your typical hipster urban chick-en keeper in that I’m like only $30,that’s fine,” she laughs. “The peoplethat sell chickens on Craigslist, thatare actual farmers, probably just rolltheir eyes at people like me.”

But no one can say the Sappertonchicken families haven’t stayed com-mitted to their plucky friends.

Now hopefully, the rebel run-away doesn’t fly the coop, again.

Chicken run: New West birds live the good life

A 52-year-old man accused of sexual assault has beenfound, New Westminster police announced on Friday.

Fred William Bilawey was reported missing last weekafter he hadn’t been heard from since April 16, as TheRecord previously reported.

Police issued a statement asking for the public’s help inlocating Bilawey as they believed he might have been sui-cidal. Initial reports suggested he was in Toronto, but Sgt.Diana McDaniel, spokesperson for the New Westminsterpolice, wouldn’t say whether or not that was where hewas found as the investigation is still ongoing.

New West police announced last week that the 52-year-old was under investigation for an alleged sexual assaultstemming from a Craigslist ad looking for waitresses andbartenders. Police released Bilawey’s photo to the publicbecause investigators believed there may have been morevictims who hadn’t come forward yet.

Where Bilawey was found and the circumstances of hisdisappearance are not being released at this time, accord-ing McDaniel.

Bilawey is expected in court on May 5.– Cayley Dobie

Assault suspecthas been found

a blurb about the book says. “ForSophie, still devastated by her par-ents’ death, India proves a danger-ously unsettling environment. Areher terrifying experiences in Kali’stemple and the Park Street cemeteryhallucinations, or has she somehowbeen drawn back through the cen-turies as a witness to dark places inCalcutta’s past?”

Exercise prevents frailtyT here is no reason frailty

has to be a natural partof getting older. With asimple exercise program– even in your home – youcan retain your vitality,strength, energy and senseof well-being.

By the time we’re 85,almost one-quarter ofthe current generation ofseniors will be describedas ‘frail’ – thin, weak andslow-moving. Frailty canlead to increased risk forpoor health outcomes, falls,disability, hospitalizationand death.

While it can be appliedto only about four per centof adults between the agesof 65 and 74, frailty willworsen with age unlessactions are taken to haltthe progression. There arethree important ways todelay frailty and functional

decline: good nutrition,social interaction and, ofcourse, exercise. Exercisehelps prevent the loss ofmuscle strength, mass andquality; and lack of activ-ity. Society has caught onthat seniors are an increas-ingly important consumergroup, so there are manyoptions for classes or pro-grams in our communitiesgeared specifically towardsseniors, such as yoga,Pilates, aerobics and swim-ming. In spite of this, manyseniors still feel uncomfort-able about exercising inpublic.

Home-based exercisescan improve strength, bal-ance and mental health.Simple activities such asgardening and walkingcan supplement an exer-cise program to increasemuscle strength and bal-ance. Adding strength

training with light weightscan improve upper bodystrength and preventosteoporosis. Exercises caneven be done in a chair. Agreat online resource is anexercise program speciallydesigned for older adultsthat can be done in thecomfort and privacy ofyour home www.seniorexercisesonline.com.

Successfulfundraiser

New Westminster hasdone its part to contrib-ute in a small way to therebuilding efforts in Lac-Mégantic, Que.

Following last sum-mer’s tragic train derail-ment and explosion, whichleft 47 people dead anddestroyed a portion of thetown’s downtown, LeonaGreen held a fundraiser atGreens and Beans Deli. Inaddition to holding a soupfundraiser and collectingdonations in a jar, Greencontacted local artist MaxJacquiard (considered theRobert Bateman of trains),and he graciously agreedto donate one of his printsto a raffle.

Local resident WilsonBecket helped the cause byproviding graphic designservices for promotionalmaterials and raffle tickets.

Coun. Lorrie Williamssold tickets to municipalpoliticians from all parts ofthe country while attend-ing Federation of CanadianMunicipalities meet-ings. A councillor fromHalifax won the raffle, andWilliams took the print toOntario to present it to himat an federation conferencein Thunder Bay.

“He said, ‘It’s really big,and I don’t have any roomin my house for anotherprint, so let’s auction itoff,’” Williams said. “Iexpected to get a couplehundred, but we got $600.”

All totalled, the com-munity raised $2,700 forLac-Mégantic. A chequeand a letter from the cityhave been sent to Lac-Mégantic.

Dear Tom and Ray:My Ford F-150 owner’s

manual points out that thereare certain “jack points” forthe front and rear axles. I hada puncture in the sidewall of

a rear tire, so the tire neededto be replaced. The local tiredealer jacked up the rear ofthe truck by the pumpkin –the rear differential. I pointedout that the owner’s manualsays NOT to jack the vehicleby the rear differential. Thedealer said they “do it all thetime, and it does not makeany difference.” Please clarifyfor me. Thanks.

– MikeTOM: My guess is thatFord’s advice is gearedtoward you, Mike, the

owner of the vehicle. Andit assumes you’ll be usingthe jack that came with thetruck to change a tire.RAY: That jack is smalland really is for emergencyuse only. It’s designed tolift up only one corner ofthe vehicle, because that’sall it needs to do to allowyou to swap out a tire.TOM: So Ford, and everyother manufacturer, cre-ates jack points near eachof the wheels. Those arereinforced spots that can

handle the full weight ofthat corner of the car.RAY: They don’t want youto jack up the car usingsome other point that’snot reinforced, because ifyour improvised jack pointfails and the top of the jackpunctures the vehicle, thetruck could come downon top of you. And that’sno fun.TOM: But if you have ahydraulic floor jack that’scapable of lifting the wholetruck, then there are other

points you can use, if youknow what you’re doing.RAY: This dealer did knowwhat he was doing. The“pumpkin” (the rear dif-ferential that looks kind oflike a pumpkin, that sitsin the middle of the rearaxle) is designed to carrythe full weight of the truckwhen the truck is on theground. If it couldn’t, theaxle tube would break. Sowe know it can carry theweight of the truck whenit’s in the air, too.

TOM: And, in fact, thatpumpkin and axle aredesigned to carry muchmore than just the weightof the truck. Since youhave a pickup, chancesare you’re also going to bedoing what? Picking stuffup with it!RAY: So with a properjack, the pumpkin is aperfectly acceptable jackpoint. We do it all the time,too.

WestminsterUnited mustwait for B.C.s

A Coastal Cup eludedWestminster United for asecond straight youth soc-cer season.

The under-16 Royal Citygold-level soccer team wona silver medal following a2-0 loss to Ladner Celticin the B final of the B.C.Soccer Coastal Cup cham-pionships in Richmond lastweekend.

West U had sailedthroughthecupplaydowns,advancing to the next lev-els with two-goal wins inits three earlier matches,including a 3-1 victoryover Surrey Pegasus in thesemifinals two weeks agothat secured a spot in theupcoming Provincial Cuptournament this summer.

But under strong windsand playing without acouple of injured play-ers, the New Westminsterclub were put mostly onthe defensive against theattacking Celtic side.

But there is an upsideto the loss. Last season,Westminster Utd. wasput in a similar situationafter losing the B finalto Killarney at the 2013Coastal Cup but came backto win the Les Sinnott tro-phy at the B.C. champion-ships later in the year.

“You can’t win themall, and this is the one tolose,” said United coachEd Zacharuk. “We lost toKillarney and then went onto win at the provincials.

As long as we have a simi-lar fate, I don’t care.”

Westminster was underpressure from the openingkickoff, but solid goalkeep-ing by Matt Buchanan keptthe Ladner club off thescoresheet until midwaythrough the second half.

Buchanan made a toughsave in the opening half,steering a hard shot pastthe near post.

New West’s Dusan Dirdahad a glorious opportun-ity go wanting just beforehalftime, one-timing a longpass upfield from MarkusZacharuk off the Ladnercrossbar just before theinterval.

Buchanan also palmedanother ball wide of thegoal in the latter per-iod before Ladner’s JoshMurphy finally connectedon his first of two goals forthe Celtic.

Murphy’s second mark-er was unfortunate forBuchanan, who made agreat save off a hard shotfrom in close but had lit-tle chance on the ensuingrebound.

“We still know the prov-incial championships arethe main goal this season,”said Buchanan. “(Ladner)got to every ball first. Ithink we could have comeout of the gate with moreenergy.

“But from last year, welearned this game doesn’treally matter because weeventually won (the B.C.s).We were also missing acouple of midfielders.”

Junior Salmonbellies the team to beat this season

The New WestminsterSalmonbellies have set their goalto be the next B.C. Junior LacrosseLeague juggernaut.

Last season, the junior ASalmonbellies proved their boast,beating the six-time league cham-pion in the playoff final beforerepresenting the west in the MintoCup at Queen’s Park Arena.

“I suspect we are No. 1. Wewent into the Minto Cup finalslast year, but the goal was towin it, not come second. ButCoquitlam and Delta will bethere,” said New Westminster

general manager Jamie Stewart.Since taking over the GM pos-

ition during the offseason, Stewartand assistant general managerRay Porcellato have been busyacquiring some key players whothey hope will be the start inmaking New West the team tobeat for the forseeable future.

New West began by addingleadership and skill to its backend with the off-season signingsof Mitch MacAulay and provin-cial all-star Jesse Gillespie.

The ’Bellies also acquiredJohnny Pearson, third in teamscoring as an underage juniorin Langley, in a trade with theThunder.

Former New West juniorQuinn McKay also found his wayback into a Salmonbellie jersey.

New West also added AaronMadaisky, a Surrey product witha lot of experience in the fieldgame, to the lineup.

Top rookie Josh Byrne, teamcaptain and defensive leaderSteve Ferdinandi, and transitionleaders Jacob Doucet and BrendanRouse will also be returning forthe 2014 season.

Last season’s star under-ageplayers, Connor Robinson andJeremy Bosher, are both back fortheir first season as true juniors.

Other veteran leaders ChrisNasato, Reese Robinson and

Mike Flintoff, in goal, along withintermediates Jordan Mackenzie,Mitch Stokes and Ryan Wilkinsonwill give the Salmonbellie juniorslots of depth before the teamreturns to full strength midwaythrough June.

“We will be more athletic,with more skill (up front),” saidStewart, “and we’ll be a good sizeonce everyone is back.”

New Westminster opens itsjunior A season this Thursdayagainst the Thunder at theLangley Events Centre.

The team then travels toNanaimo for a date with theTimbermen on Saturday beforereturning to Queen’s Park for its

home opener against Langley onTuesday, May 6, beginning at 8p.m.

“I think they’re just chomp-ing at the bit to get at it,” saidStewart.

The league got underwaythis weekend with Delta defeat-ing Nanaimo 18-12 at home onSaturday, while Victoria hand-ed Langley a 10-6 defeat at theLEC, the site for this year’s MintoCup.

The much-maligned BurnabyLakers made their leaguedebut on Sunday under formerSalmonbellie coach Brad Parkerand gave a good account of them-selves in a 14-11 loss to the A’s.

All wrapped up: Burnaby Lake’s smothering defence, in blue, kept Capilano out of the end zone for the mostpart in a 30-17 semifinal win at home on Saturday.

BLRC to meet King James Bay in rugby final

Burnaby Lake Rugby Club wouldlike nothing better than to etch itsname on the 92-year-old RounsefellCup.

The men’s premier division regu-lar-season league champions earneda spot in its second consecutive B.C.Rugby provincial final followinga 30-17 victory over Capilano atBurnaby Lake-East on Saturday.

The double blue jumped outto a 15-0 lead by midway throughthe opening half on tries by ColeMcQueen and the first of two five-pointers by Burnaby Central gradAdmir Cejvanovic.

League scoring champion Geoff

Ryan also converted one of thescores and slotted a pair of three-point penalty goals as Burnaby Lakeled the North Shore club 18-12 at theinterval.

Burnaby’s staunch defence,which gave up a league-low 168points in 14 regular season match-es, held strong in the second half,allowing the home team time andspace to muster two more scoresfrom substitute Matt Alexander andCejvanovic.

Cap pushed in a late try off a 40-metre kickoff return by Gareth Dyer,but it was Burnaby Lake’s day.

The win was Burnaby Lake’s 10thin a row since a 9-3 loss to the sameCaps back in November of last year.

The two teams also played two

weeks earlier with the visiting Bluesedging the Caps 25-19 at Klahanie.

With Saturday’s win, BurnabyLake will prepare to meet 23-timeprovincial champion James BayAthletic Club in the 93rd Rounsefellfinal on May 10.

James Bay edged CastawayWanderers 16-13 in an all-islandsemifinal on Saturday.

Burnaby Lake has a lot at stakethis season.

After amassing a league-best 13-1-0 record, which included a pair ofwins over the storied Victoria-basedclub, Burnaby would like to finallysip from the only major trophy thathas so far eluded not only the club,

“It’s a sweet thing, but we’ve wonnothing yet,” said club president SimonSmolden. “We were the favourite lastyear, but we didn’t perform.”

Last year, Burnaby Lake lost 18-10 toJames Bay in the Rounsefell Cup final,while in 2012, the Lakers were edged 23-21 by JBAA in the playoff semifinal.

“We’re still the underdog,” Smoldensaid, weighing the wealth of experience

and national team talent present on theJames Bay squad.

“People feel that way, but everythingwe got, we have earned. It will be arematch of last year. It will be a hell of adogfight,” Smolden said.
