DRAFT POLICY STRIVES FOR SUPPOR TIVE, WELCOMING ATMOSPHERE IN SCHOOLS

District asks for input on LBGT policy BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The story of a transgender hockey player who found support at his East Vancouver high school got this city’s school board chair thinking about whether enough was being done for lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender students in New Westminster. A year ago, Jonina Campbell heard Cory Oskam talk about his experience transitioning and outing himself to his teammates and classmates.

Cory – who picked his name from his hero, former Canucks goalie Cory Schneider – was born female but has been gender non-conforming since the age of two. At the age of nine, he began taking hormone blockers to halt female puberty, and at the age of 14 began taking testosterone, according to his biography. After hearing him speak, Campbell decided to ask the new superintendent to revisit an old New West school district policy on gender identity and sexual orientation. Campbell felt the previous policy lacked

“teeth,” so she took the issue to John Gaiptman, the superintendent who took over managing the district in February. He re-drafted a gender/sexual orientation policy to help guide the district in a direction that promotes inclusion and “actively supports diversity.” The extensive policy has the bite Campbell was looking for, covering safety issues for children of all sexual orientations and gender identities. It includes a call for learning resources that acknowledge “human diversity as an essential and enriching element of our

society.” “We need a policy that no matter who you are in our district, that this is a safe, welcoming, inclusive, supportive school for you to go to,” Campbell said. Both Gaiptman and Campbell said there are transgender students in New Westminster schools, though they don’t know the exact numbers because, Campbell said, it’s not something they track. Campbell said there is a gaystraight alliance club at New Westminster Secondary School. ◗LGBT Page 8

WAIT FOR ME DADDY SCULPTURE UNVEILED OCT.4

VIPs galore at big reveal BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The unveiling of the Wait for Me Daddy war memorial sculpture is garnering attention from near and far. The City of New Westminster is set to unveil the sculpture in Hyack Square on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 11 a.m. The sculpture is based on the iconic Second World War photograph taken by Province newspaper photograph Claude P. Dettloff. “This started out as an idea, and it kept on gaining momentum. It has touched so many people on so many levels. The power of the image continues to resonate in the hearts and minds of Canadians,” Mayor Wayne Wright said in a news release. “We are proud to pay tribute to the sacri-

fice of the many Canadian soldiers and families, past and present, who remind us all that we stand on this soil in a peaceful and prosperous country because others have given much to make this possible.” Dettloff took the famous photo on Oct. 1, 1940 as soldiers marched down Eighth Street toward Columbia Street. As they passed by, a five-yearold boy with white hair broke free from his mother to reach out to his father who was marching past. The City of New Westminster has announced that special guests attending the event include Second World War veterans from the regiment on that day, Rifleman Charles Bernhardt and Rifleman Henry Kriwokon.

Opinion

Environmental groups are welcoming New Westminster’s plan to intervene in a court challenge concerning a proposed coal port facility in Surrey. On Sept. 19, Ecojustice submitted an application for a judicial review of the permit approval on behalf of Voters Taking Action on Climate Change (VTACC), Communities and Coal and two individual citizens. The application for judicial review alleges that Port Metro Vancouver was biased in its decision making and failed to consider the climate impacts that would be generated by the export and burning of this U.S. coal. The City of New Westminster subsequently announced that it would submit an application to intervene in a Federal Court challenge filed by Ecojustice against the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal transfer facility. The project would see thermal coal mined in the United States travel on open rail cars through White Rock and Surrey, loaded onto open barges at Fraser Surrey Docks, shipped down the Fraser River and across the Strait of Georgia to Texada Island and transferred to ocean-going vessels for shipment to Asia. “We welcome New West’s intervention in this case. They have consistently pushed for recognition of community concerns about the Fraser Surrey Docks project and they have advocated strongly for meaningful consultation with local governments throughout the review,” Kevin Washbrook, director with VTACC, said in a press release. “New West was also one of the first municipalities to express concerns directly to the port about the risks that this project poses for our climate. We commend their decision to step up on this issue.” The city is filing intervener status in support of the court challenge initiated by the two environmental groups and two individuals. ◗Coal Page 8

Stay safe: New Westminster ofﬁcers direct trafﬁc during Tuesday afternoon’s distracted driving enforcement blitz on McBride Boulevard.

Cops crack down on distracted drivers

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

New West cops were out in the rain Tuesday afternoon cracking down on drivers who just can’t leave their phones alone. The afternoon distracted driving enforcement blitz saw officers from the department’s traffic services unit stop and ticket drivers using cellphones and other electronic devices.

In less than three hours, officers issued 32 distracted driving tickets, one failure to wear a seatbelt ticket and a school zone speeding ticket. For previous stories on the New Westminster Police Department’s efforts to crack down on this dangerous habit, check out www.royalcityrecord.com and search “New West cops on the lookout for distracted drivers,” or go to tinyurl.com/ NWPDcrackdown. twitter.com/cayleydobie

New Westminster police are investigating after an alleged assault near a busy uptown intersection Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses called police around 3:15 p.m., when they saw a man and a woman arguing while walking along Sixth Avenue between Eighth and 10th streets. The witnesses alleged the man was becoming violent, grabbing the woman’s

FREE

throat and pushing her around. Officers arrived on scene shortly before 3:30 p.m. and located the man near 10th Street and Sixth Avenue, but they could not find the woman involved, according to New West Sgt. Diana McDaniel. At this time, the investigation is ongoing, but McDaniel confirmed the man was arrested and charges are pending. Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411.

OUR VIEW

us on a larger scale is that almost every department is trying to keep information hidden. The media has always faced stonewalling bureaucrats and politicians who hide behind procedures and paperwork. It is government’s first line of defense when the media looks for information that could make the government look bad. But nowadays, as the privacy commissioner said, “I’m concerned that it’s a trend and the issues are systemic. It’s the law and one-in-four requests are responded to outside of the legal limits,

and I think that’s a serious problem for the public.” We agree. But is a wrist-slapping report going to stop the stonewalling? We think not. If the provincial government cared about its previous commitments to transparency it would have laid down the law internally. It hasn’t. We think it’s time to inflict the same deterrents on government ministries that they inflict on citizens: If they miss deadlines, fine them. And put the money towards school supplies.

Advice for all new council candidates IN MY OPINION

MATTHEW CLAXTON

oday, for absolutely no charge, I’m going to give some advice to all those folks who are running for local office this November. Like all free advice, it’s probably worth what you paid for it. I may not be qualified to offer any words of wisdom, considering I’ve never run for office myself and that I have ordered my friends and loved ones to have me committed if I attempt to do so. I’ve seen too many campaigns to think it’s much fun. On the other hand, I’ve been to more council meetings than most mayors in this province, I’ve seen dozens of politicians rise and fall and sometimes rise again, and I’ve watched campaigns with the glee and frustration that most people save up for playoff season. If nothing else, consider this a primer on how to get my vote. Every vote counts, they say. ! I don’t care that you are a happy fuzzy person: The profiles of most politicians, and this goes right to the top, aim at reassuring us that they just love families and low taxes and a good economy. Congratulations. You like

the stuff that LITERALLY EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING LIKES! Who cares? I know there’s some psychological stuff at work, that this can be part of the “Aw shucks, I’m just an average Jane-or-Joe” routine. I don’t care. I’ve seen it too many times. We’ve all seen it too many times. Stop telling us you’re in favour of things being good. So are we. This leads us to my second point. ! Make specific promises: “I like families!” says every politician since the Greeks were picking which bearded toga-wearer was getting which job. That’s cool, buddy. But what are you going to do about that? Are you going to cut taxes on playground equipment and school clothes? Are you going to raise taxes to build more parks and ice rinks? How much are you gonna raise them? Anything else you’ve got planned? We see too many candidates at the local level who run on a record of being heavily involved in the community, but seemingly have no clear plans or ideas. Your list of promises can be short (“Cut taxes!”) or long (“Here’s my four-year plan. If you’ll turn to appendix two, section seven…”) but please, tell me you want to run so you can actually do something. ! Tell me true stories: Now that you’ve told me what you’re actually going to do, tell me why you’re going to do it. This is also a place for specifics. You want

Dear Editor:

Re: Stadium process shows no transparency (Letters to the editor, The Record online) and It’s a two-way race – so far (The Record, Sept. 12) As the dog days of summer begin to fade and the silly season begins in New Westminster, Jodi Harbour’s letter and Wayne Wright’s announcement on page 1 of your Sept. 12 issue make me wonder who will, like Cleo the Cat, land on their feet in this fall’s civic election. This time around, as I observe from Coquitlam, I find I haven’t got a dog in this hunt but couldn’t resist some speculation given that Ms. Harbour believes she will have a choice in the election.

and seeking to consolidate a legacy paid for by New Westminster taxpayer money as he still has “fire in his belly.” That fire may turn out to be some indigestion at the thought of having to face a “young pup” challenger in Jonathan Cote. After all, this isn’t the tricycle race at the Sapperton Day Street Festival. But, are New Westminster voters really getting a choice here, or merely an echo? Mayor Wright has already acknowledged that he is facing a formidable machine – the NDP/labour alliance, that claims to “own this town,” which previously supported him. The stadium issue Ms. Harbour cites is dead, but the issue of spending future taxpayer funds with no transparency, no accountability, no freedom of information and no tomorrow is very much alive. Politically, “the machine” is merely placing its bets on presents to come from Christmas future, the next generation, as it abandons the ghost of

Hypocrisy in action?

Dear Editor:

Re: Leave health and age out of it, Letters to the editor, The Record, Sept. 24. Interesting that Mr. Vance McFadyen has weighed into the debate on “personal information.” Let’s remember the 2011 election when McFadyen and Mayor Wayne Wright were the first to break the code of conduct on personal information. Wright was first to “get personal” about candidates when he referred to James Crosty’s “lifestyle” in an article. McFadyen followed in four more articles to “out” James Crosty as gay. I am quite certain the concerted efforts of these two politicos qualifies as divulging “personal information.” Now McFadyen is trying to stake a claim to the moral high ground by chastising Gavin Palmer? McFadyen sees no issue with his or Wright’s personal comments about Crosty, but he does when referring to Palmer? How hypocritical. Further, for Jonathan Cote to condone McFadyen’s redress of Palmer (“Excellent response, Vance”) without acknowledging that McFadyen and Wright were the first to publicly expose personal information, shows the type of administration he is likely to forge if elected mayor. Put any of these three in the mayor’s chair and the motto above it would read: “Say and do anything, to anyone, as long as you get elected.” McFadyen would have served the “personal information” debate better had he acknowledge his and Wright’s part as the founding architects in making a candidates personal info an accepted part of New West

politics. The only way McFadyen could realistically claim any high ground on this debate is to issue an apology to Crosty for doing the very thing he is now berating Palmer for. Sadly, that is not likely to happen in the delusional and selectively edited version of politics that is New West. Paul R. Thompson, New Westminster

Over 1.2 Million Bottles Made & Counting

One battle has been won

Dear Editor:

I am proud of the many – the hundreds – of fellow New Westminster citizens who stood up to city council and helped prevent destruction of Queen’s Park and valuable park facilities, which include the baseball stadium, heritage stand, and the playing field. Together we signed petitions, attended council meetings, made passionate and strong, logical presentations to council, sent letters, marched in a rally, posted on social media … and we accomplished something near impossible – we made city council listen to people! Queen’s Park is safe for now from bulldozers and chainsaws, at least for the next two months until upcoming local elections. Let’s make no mistake. Our council members changed their mind only after realizing they face a massive election loss if they approve this proposal against the “will of the people” (just like in Whistler in last elections where mayor and all councillors lost their seats after making an unpopular decision). We know now that many council members really wanted to approve this proposal. Otherwise why would they allow it to proceed all the way to final vote, despite causing lots of stress, frustration, division in the community? Council could and should have declined this proposal before signing the memorandum of understanding because, for example, this proposal clearly violates the Queen’s Park official plan. I am afraid that the same council members, if given a chance, would not hesitate to bring the same proposal, or something similarly unacceptable, again after getting re-elected. We have won the “battle,” but we still need to win the “war.” Let’s actively vote on Nov. 15 and elect candidates who will ensure a permanent protection for Queen’s Park, and other city parks, for use and enjoyment of all New Westminster residents.

bourhood with no parks and you want better for your grandkids? Those are the kind of stories that win elections. You say what you’re going to do, how you’re going to do it, and why. And nothing sticks in our heads like a story. Nothing. ! Be human: Candidate Robot is not a fun candidate. Candidate Robot has a pat answer for everything, but they all go back to his five talking points, over and over and over. Even if you tell your true

stories and you have real goals, you can fall into this trap. It’s OK to sometimes look a little frustrated or to say you don’t know the answer to something. It’s better than grinning and hitting Talking Point Four again. So for everyone running this fall, I admire your guts. You’re braver than I’ll ever be.

◗ PUBLIC HEALTH

Extended smoking ban coming in January BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster smokers will have until New Year’s Day to get used to butting out in more public places. The city announced this week that amendments to the smoking bylaw passed in April will come into effect Jan. 1. Starting on that day, smoking will be prohibited on pub

and restaurant patios; within 7.5 metres of entrances, windows and air intakes to public/workplace buildings; and within 15 metres of outdoors sport facilities, playgrounds, off-leash dog areas and picnic areas in city parks. “We are committed to providing spaces where our residents can enjoy their everyday activities without worrying about the health impacts associ-

ated with second-hand smoke,” New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright said in a press release. “Creating and upholding healthy, livable communities throughout our city is important and these changes will provide a greater opportunity for that.” City council had considered a request from Fraser Health for tougher smoking restrictions in public places several times before passing amendments in April.

Until then, council couldn’t agree on how to handle the issue, with some councillors supporting complete bans in all public areas and others voicing concern about how the changes would affect people in parks or attending functions at facilities such as Queen’s Park Arena. Coun. Jonathan Cote said the amendments were a “compromise solution” that would allow the city to move forward on the

issue. A staff report at the time stated some cities (Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey and White Rock) had implemented total smoking bans within their parks, while others (West Vancouver, District of North Vancouver and Richmond) have restricted smoking within certain distances from outdoor gathering places, like park playgrounds. twitter.com/CorNaylor

LGBT: New policy is a ‘living document’ ◗ continued from page 1

Now that the policy has been created, the school board unanimously passed a motion to put it out for public scrutiny. The district wants parents, students, support staff and teachers to weigh in. So far the new policy has garnered little attention, but in the Vancouver school district the policy change issue blew up. Critics were concerned about having gender-neutral washrooms in schools.

Coal: ‘They deserve to have their voice heard’ ◗ continued from page 3

“Frontline communities like White Rock, Surrey and New West will bear the brunt of local impacts from this project. They deserve to have their voice fully heard regarding the level of risk to communities from the plan to export U.S. coal, but they’ve been sidelined by the port,” said Paula Williams, director with Communities and Coal. “We are grateful for the

support of New West in this challenge to the Port Metro Vancouver permit.” In August, Port Metro Vancouver approved the permit that would allow Fraser Surrey Docks to build a coal transfer facility. In a statement issued to The Record this week, Port Metro Vancouver stated it had received a notice of application for a judicial review of the

permitting decision for Fraser Surrey Docks’ direct coal transfer facility, and would be reviewing the information and assessing its next steps. It pointed out that a judicial review is a regular avenue available to any person or party that wishes to challenge a regulatory decision of this nature.

A former North Vancouver city councillor is hoping to apply her experience on New Westminster city council.

Inspection funding not enough: ombudsperson BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER cnaylor@royalcityrecord.com

More provincial funding to train people to inspect residential care facilities is a step in the right direction, but not enough to satisfy B.C.’s ombudsperson. The ministry of advanced education announcedrecentlythatNewWestminster’s Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) would get an extra $600,000 in one-time funding for its advanced specialty certificate in community care licensing program. The 10-course online program, which started its second year this month, trains people to inspect licensed residential-care facilities and daycares in B.C.

“The funding makes a huge difference because it enables us to focus on delivering the program and really marketing it so that it becomes, with any luck, the standard across Canada,” program manager Nathan Wright told The Record. The Justice Institute was given funding to launch the program last year after a B.C. ombudsperson’s report on seniors’ care (The Best of Care: Getting it Right for Seniors in British Columbia) found the province did not have provincial training standards or minimum education and experience requirements for so-called community care licensing officers. Existing officers had gotten almost all their training on the job. In her report, ombudsperson Kim

Carter called on the health ministry to put in place provincial training standards and minimum education and experience requirements so community care licensing officers could “appropriately respond to complaints about residential care facilities.” About half of the $600,000 announced last week will be given out as bursaries, with a big chunk earmarked for licensing officers already employed by the health authorities. Without the bursaries, those officers would have little incentive to formalize their training, according to Justice Institute marketing advisor Alison Scott, since their employers won’t pay the $6,000 (10 courses at $607 apiece) for them to

take the Advanced Specialty Certificate in Community Care Licensing program. For new recruits looking to become community care licensing officers, the health ministry has told the Justice Institute it expects between 50 to 60 job vacancies in B.C. over the next five years. “There’s going to be a need,” Wright said. “We know the population’s aging; we have more and more people going into long-term care facilities, other types of care; as well, child-care facilities are popping up left and right. Those need to be monitored.” There are currently about 150 community care licensing officers employed by health authorities around the province. Fraser Health employs 43.

tudents at Purpose Independent Secondary School will be displaying their artwork at RiverFest. “During term four of the last school year, the students in my art class had the opportunity to work directly with Lennart Osterlund, a Canadian Federation artist,” Heather Hancock, a teacher in the PREP program, said in an email to The Record. “With the theme being the Fraser River, the students produced many successful pieces of art.” The students’ artwork will be displayed at Fraser River Discovery Centre on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Four students form Purpose secondary will be presented with certificates and cheques from the Federation of Canadian Artists: Janey Eang, who is pursuing post-secondary education in visual arts; Ashley Bateman, who has moved on from the PREP program to regular courses at Purpose; Eli Ventura, who was the school valedictorian and developed his pastel and painting skills during the course; and Jessica Smith, who hopes to work in the film industry doing special effects makeup. “There are also paintings being displayed from all of the other students that were in the class,” Hancock said. “A book has been produced that showcases their artwork, art from other students in the Lower Mainland and that of the Canadian Federation Arts. An exceptional poem from a Grade 10 Purpose student is also included.”

The display of about 20 photographs runs for two weeks starting Sept. 22. “We were talking to the receptionist at the booth. She said, ‘sure, why not,’” Kathleen said, requesting to display the photos. “I feel great.” The photos are primarily scenic shots and images of flowers taken in New Westminster and Vancouver. Along with the two-week run at the local financial institution, the couple will be displaying their photos at RiverFest on Sept. 27.

Canada bids farewell to a legendary artist THE LIVELY CITY JULIE MACLELLAN

he arts world said farewell to a Canadian legend this past week. Joseph Plaskett, the New Westminster-born

artist who gave his name to the Plaskett Gallery at Massey Theatre, died in England on Sept. 21 at the age of 96. He was both a renowned artist and a supporter of young artistic talent, having established the Joseph Plaskett Foundation in 2004 to support Canadian students to travel and study art in Europe. The foundation’s website notes that Plaskett,

born in 1918, won the first Emily Carr Scholarship in 1946 – an award that allowed him to study at the California School of Fine Art in San Francisco and then with Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown. He followed that up by becoming director of the Winnipeg School of Art before deciding to move to Europe – making his home in Paris for most of his life until moving to Suffolk,

England in 2001. Over that time, he became recognized as one of Canada’s greatest artists and remained loyal to Canada, always returning home for exhibitions and supporting many Canadian artists abroad. His art can be found in public collections across the country, including the National Gallery, and he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2001.

See www.joeplaskett. com for more about the artist, his accomplishments and his foundation.

Farewell to piano Pianos on the Street is closing the season with a splash. The program saw pianos placed in openair locations around the Lower Mainland, including one outside River Market in New West. That piano, which was

donated by Pacey’s Pianos in Vancouver, was decorated with paint in partnership with the Community Living Society. It sat outside and allowed everyone of all ages and abilities to sit down and tickle the ivories at will. The project was organized by the Piano Teachers’ Federation, which is now hosting a closing ceremony for each of its outdoor pianos. ◗Lively City Page 15

Getting arty

I know, I know, I keep bringing you news about the new Anvil Centre – but there’s just so much happening there that it’s pretty hard to avoid, even if you did want to. (And who would want to?) The centre is offering a raft of arts-related programs of all kinds this fall, and many of them are getting started up soon – so don’t delay if you’re interested in registering. Programs start with the “Art Splash” for kids aged two to four and work their way through all ages, with offerings for preschoolers, young children, tweens and teens right up to adults. There are all kinds of fun possibilities, like Music on the Go for preschoolers,

Young Masters for five- to eight-year-olds, Tween Theatrics for nine- to 12year-olds, Shakespeare Playground for eight- to 13-year-olds, and a teen art lounge for 13- to 18-yearolds. For adults, there’s an abundance of offerings covering everything from batik, watercolour and drawing to social media and a “dance-a-thon” class. I won’t try to provide all the details here, but be sure to pick yourself up a brochure or download one from www.anvilcentre.com. And if you haven’t already visited, it’s definitely worth dropping in (if you haven’t been, the centre is at 777 Columbia St., at the corner of Columbia and Eighth streets).

FJ Cruiser can handle just about any terrain BY DAVID CHAO CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

vehicle that can go anywhere anytime has captured peoples’ imagination since the creation of the original Willys Jeep. After the Second World War, Toyota set about making its own, and its efforts resulted in the Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser series is Toyota’s longest running in the company’s history. Early Land Cruisers were basically just bigger clones of the Jeep with a six-cylinder engine. But, after a few quick improvements, Toyota had the FJ40 model. The FJ40’s reliability and longevity has led to it gaining massive popularity across the globe, especially in places with rugged terrain or extreme temperatures. When production of the FJ40 ended in 1984, Toyota shifted the image of the Land Cruiser line to a larger, more luxurious SUV. However, by the mid-’90s, Toyota felt they were losing touch with the young, adventurous demographic and sought to create a spiritual successor to the FJ40. The rugged, retro-styled FJ Cruiser was the fruit of that labour. Vehicles inspired by the Willys Jeep that began life in service have changed and evolved in a number of different directions. Therefore, the FJ Cruiser competes with an interesting collection of rivals, including the Land Rover LR2, the Nissan Xterra, and the modern incarnation of the original, the Jeep Wrangler. The real news for 2014 is that this year is FJ’s last year – Toyota announced that it will stop producing FJ worldwide, likely due to declining interest over the years. This is unfortunate because the FJ is such a unique vehicle with a character that can’t be matched by today’s mod-

ern-and-smooth SUVs.

Design

Since its introduction in 2006, the FJ Cruiser has changed very little visually. It is defined by its short and stocky stance. The grille/headlight arrangement and vertical windshield with three wipers are a couple design cues from the original FJ40. The FJ Cruiser is also the only current vehicle to have the name “Toyota” spelled out across the grille instead of the emblem. The FJ Cruiser notably has reverse-opening rear doors which do not have handles on the outside. High strength steel was used so the FJ Cruiser has adequate side impact protection without the need for a door pillar. With a length of 4,670 millimetres (183.9 in), the FJ Cruiser is the longest compact SUV sold by Toyota in North America. Therefore, it sits between the smaller RAV4 and the midsize Highlander in the line-up in terms of size. As its base, the FJ Cruiser uses a body-onframe truck-style structure. Many of its mechanical components have been sourced from other Toyota products. For example, its engine and transmission are shared with the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner and suspension parts can be found in the Hilux, Tacoma, 4Runner and the Lexus GX. The cabin features many elements focused on improving off-road practicality. All surfaces are washable and durable, making clean up after heavy outdoor use a breeze.

Performance

Hidden beneath the long flat hood is a 4.0-litre V6 that produces 260 hp and 271 ft-lbs of torque. There is no other available engine, but you do have

the choice between either a five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual. Models with the manual have a full-time 4WD system with a rear differential lock and a two-speed transfer case. Automatic models employ a part-time 4WD system

Cruiser: Last year to buy unique vehicle unmatched by today’s sleek SUVs ◗ continued from page 17

with an automatic disconnecting differential and two-speed transfer case. Also, FJ Cruisers with the automatic have the option of four-wheel Crawl Control, which allows the driver to focus solely on steering while the system operates the acceleration, brakes and the traction control to maintain a slow speed while ascending or descending steep terrain. While the FJ Cruiser is mechanically capable and has an impressive 245 mm (9.6 in) of ground clearance, its front and rear overhangs only allow for a 34-degree approach angle and a 31-degree departure angle. This unfortunately means that it’s not as useful as some of its rivals when it comes to hillclimbing. The Toyota FJ Cruiser is most at home running over wide open trails. Regardless of the surface, be it hard packed dirt or loose sand or snow, the FJ Cruiser will just power through making you feel invincible. Potholes, logs and rocks don’t pose much of a threat, and you can leave civilization quite far behind. Also, the air intake is set high in the engine bay, allowing you to ford substantial water hazards as well. The car is surprisingly fun to drive, mainly because its character is unique and has that “rugged” feel you don’t feel any more in today’s modern SUVs.

Environment

The cabin inside the FJ Cruiser is spacious and functional and all of the controls are large and easy to operate in a hurry or with gloves on. To help with off-road navigation, there is an interesting and handy instrument pod on the dash with a compass, outside temperature gauge and an inclinometer. The steering wheel also feels comfortable and sturdy in your hand. The shift lever is within easy reach and features a large ergonomic knob. The bucket front seats have wide, flat cushions with backs featuring small bolsters. They provide an elevated seating position, giving good visibility out front. But, the narrow windshield can limit how high taller drivers can see, making traffic lights a tad difficult to spot when up

close. Looking behind or over your shoulder is not any easier. The full-size spare tire mounted to the rear door restricts visibility out back and the massive “C” pillars create a sizable blind spot. Thankfully, Toyota has fitted the FJ Cruiser with a standard backup camera integrated into the rearview mirror to aid with one of those issues. Like all vehicles of this size, there is plenty of room. However, accessing the rear seat is not easy thanks to the narrow rear “suicidal” doors. But, they are split 60/40 and fold nearly flat if you need additional cargo space.

Features

Ranging in price from $33,540 to $41,925, the FJ Cruiser is available in four models, including the limited edition Trail Teams Special Edition version. Standard equipment includes illuminated entry, cargo and map lamps, power windows and locks, and air conditioning. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include keyless entry, cruise control, 120 V power outlet, and rear privacy glass. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the manual transmission are 13.8 city, 10.3 highway and 12.2 combined. The automatic transmission returns 12.7 city, 9.5 highway and 11.3 combined.

Thumbs Up

The FJ Cruiser can handle just about any terrain an outdoor enthusiast can attempt to traverse and is backed by Toyota’s excellent build quality. It is still one of the most unique vehicles in the market.

Thumbs Down

The FJ Cruiser is far from the most fuel efficient vehicle, nor is it a civilized SUV in comparison to modern SUVs.

The Bottom Line

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a worthy successor to the legendary FJ40 Land Cruiser, and this is your last year to get it!

As soon as you enter an animal shelter, the tempta`on to adopt will be very great. That s why it s so important to consider before any adorable faces nd their way into your heart whether bringing an animal into your life is right for you!

Why spay and neuter your cat

The problem of cat overpopulaòn is a global one and requires a soluòn on a global scale. But like every journey that begins with a single step, this par`cular journey must begin with every cat owner in every community, town and city in the country. Spaying is the surgical removal of a female cat s ovaries and uterus, while neutering is the removal of a male cat s tes`cles. To minimize discomfort and pain, both procedures are performed under general anesthesia. Most cats are back to their normal selves within a few days, the surgery site usually heals within two weeks. Did you know that in seven years, an unspayed female and unneutered male cat Bullseye can be very shy before she gets to know you but like her mom Diddy is very gentle, affecònate and sweet and she loves aienòn and pehng.

age of six months is growing in popularity and the benets to their health and well being are well documented. Spayed females are less likely to develop breast cancer and won t be at risk for either ovarian or uterine cancer. Neutered males won t develop tes`cular cancer, and without the need to roam, their risk of being injured or infected by other cats is dras`cally reduced. And males neutered prior to puberty (six months) won t develop the large head and thick skin of intact males. Early spaying and neutering may also prevent problem behaviors before they occur and may either eliminate or reduce certain behaviors in older cats.

Stories from the river OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

his is the time of year when groups of citizens and communities take part in B.C. and World Rivers Day events that focus on rivers and waterways. In the Lower Mainland you will have noted many such activities in New Westminster coordinated by the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Coming up this weekend, we will once again provide commentary on the harbour tours, sponsored by Port Metro Vancouver, taking place on board the MV Native. The Native is a real sternwheeler, albeit a new vessel with diesel powering her sternmounted paddles, but she is beautifully symbolic of the fleet of such vessels that are part of our maritime heritage. The one-hour tours give us just enough time to highlight the river, its role and importance, many aspects of the port itself, and a variety of selections

from our local history linked to the Fraser, the local harbour and our past, all seen and enjoyed from the water. Recently, while down at the Quay enjoying a coffee on a warm breezy day, calmly sitting watching the busy river flow by, we were asked about our favourite local river-connected stories, accounts that might find their way into a harbour or river cruise program. While there is much material to choose from near New Westminster, here are some that are always appreciated. In looking at either bank of the river, stories will include the early city’s site, the many waterfront developments and industries, New Westminster’s Great Fire and Surrey’s promoted plans for a town site on the flats facing the Royal City. There are always stories of the ferry system that crossed here, the K de K and the Surrey, and the landings on either side, Brownville on the south and near the foot of 4th St. on the north. And after ferries come bridges. The 1904 Westminster Bridge was first, with the Pattullo

following in 1937. Of course we now have the SkyBridge with others visible nearby and there are always comments about the next local crossing – What? Where? When? There will always be interest in the Fraser River gold rush and the initial landscape of the newly surveyed capital city of the early 1860s. With this topic come the Royal Engineers and their camp just upriver from where Saturday’s harbour tours will sail. The wide variety of vessels and cargos draw close attention as tour participants like to hear of sternwheelers, side wheelers and sailing ships from simple single masts to tall ships, all the way to the vessels of today with containers and vehicles. The evolution of the port itself is always included in this marine discussion. First Nations and their village and fishing camp sites add much to a tour and the overall story of this region. Links to Simon Fraser, First Nations and exploration are always welcomed. Watch for events, harbour tours and more and join us for B.C./World Rivers Day.

The pros and cons of group ﬁtness classes KEEPING FIT

SHAUN KARP

hroughout the short history of the physical fitness industry as we know it – which, in fairness, only really took off for the average citizen during the late 20th century – there has been an ongoing debate over the relative merits of exercising alone or as part of a group or class. Fairly recent, but enduringly popular group fitness innovations, including weight-loss boot camps, Zumba and CrossFit, have brought this debate into even sharper focus. But while group classes are certainly increasingly popular, there are still some good reasons to consider flying solo. First, it is important to acknowledge the benefits of the group approach. For one thing, especially for those interested in socializing and making friends, group fitness classes can be incredibly motivating. This is an important consideration since consistency is arguably the most important aspect of any fit-

ness program, even more so than perfect technique or sufficient intensity. Basically, you cannot meet any fitness goals that you are not regularly working toward. So it is worth continuing with whatever approach successfully gets you into the gym on multiple days per week. Group classes are also a great, cost-effective way to learn new exercises in a low-stress and at least moderately supervised environment. On the other hand, the fun and excitement of group classes may conceal some significant drawbacks. For one thing, any group endeavor is necessarily going to neglect addressing some of your own personal goals and weaknesses. This can be particularly harmful if you have a specific injury that requires any level of physical rehabilitation. Also, a group class usually means there will be only one or at most a small handful of instructors available to monitor technique, which could increase the likelihood of injury. This is especially true if the movements required by the class are foreign to you, particularly challenging, or are being engaged

in competitively with other group members. Finally, the benefits of group fitness training could plateau over time if each individual class is similar enough to the others to enable your body to adapt to performing the required movements with decreased effort over time. Ultimately, it comes down to the question of your motivation for exercising. If your goals are to meet and be encouraged by your fitness peers, a group class of suitable difficulty and variation is likely your best option. However, if your goals include maximizing athletic performance or addressing specific health or mobility issues, a custom-tailored and constantly modified individual program is likely to be more effective. In this case, visiting periodically with a qualified fitness and nutrition trainer is a great way to stay on track. Of course, you also don’t have to choose just one style of fitness training! You can create a blend of weekly solo and group fitness experiences that works the best for you. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer.

Help your teenagers make good decisions BY DEBRA NELSON CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

ave you ever been to sea? David Rossi asks this question in his book of the same name. Not about sailing, but about decision-making. If you don’t have goals or have difficulty making decisions, you’re like a boat in harbour; never getting anywhere. During his more than 20 years of work with “high-risk” youth, Rossi recognized several issues that remained constant: impulsive behaviours, inconsistent thinking and erratic actions. All of these can be controlled by learning critical thinking and decision-making. And all youth can benefit from these skills. If you are a parent of teenagers or you’re involved with youth, you can learn to coach youth to make strong decisions. Ross will be at the New Westminster Public Library to present his workshop, Getting from No to Yes: Creating Strong Decisions with Youth on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. This workshop is designed to help parents or anyone involved with youth understand the dynamic process of strong decision making, using argu-

ments as a method for truth finding. He will explore issues such as health, computer use, employment and risk reduction. Participants will learn how to help develop in youth the concepts of openmindedness, intellectual maturity and thoughtfulness. Rossi is an author, producer and mentor who teaches common sense and critical thinking to youth, parents and professionals. His award-winning approach has helped people achieve success with a wide range of youth-related issues. This workshop is one of two workshops offered for parents of teens this fall. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Raising Financially Responsible Teens will be presented by the Credit Counselling Society. Parents will learn some strategies to help their teenager become a financially responsible adult by planning for school, buying a vehicle and even saving for a home. As space is limited for these programs, please register at 604-527-4667 or listen er@nwpl.ca. The main branch of the New Westminster Public Library is at 716 Sixth Ave. For more info, visit www.nwpl.ca or call 604-527-4660.

Buy A Brick & Help Us Improve The Farm …One Brick at a time Here’s how! For $150 you can purchase a decorative brick with your name, or the name of a loved one, engraved on it. If you spend $200, you will also receive a one-year family membership to the farm. That’s a deal that can’t be beat! Buy one for yourself, or as a gift for family and friends to celebrate a birth, an important birthday, a marriage, a graduation, or memorialize an animal lover who has passed on.

You’ll be helping our Farm!

Your contribution will go directly into the funding of improvements to the farm, such as construction of a much-needed aviary for the colourful parrots that call Maplewood home. Or, to pave our walkways to ensure accessibility for strollers, wheelchairs and other wheeled mobility aids. Your gift will provide a lasting legacy at Maplewood Farm. All bricks sold will be used to construct a commemorative wall around our new community garden, built this spring at the front entrance to the farm.

It’s easy to buy a brick and show your support! • In person at the farm Birthday (Monday to Friday from 10:00AM-4:00PM) Party Packages • Over the phone at Maplewood Farm available (Monday to Friday from 10:00AM-4:00PM)

Interact with domesticated animals up close and learn about farming practices old and new.
