A group of BoundaryBay Airport flight schoolsis among those filing a law-suit against the federal gov-ernment for loss of revenueand increased expenses dur-ing the Vancouver WinterOlympics, it was announced
Wednesday.The Pacific Flying
Club, Pacific ProfessionalFlight Centre and MontairAviation are includedamong the six proposedplaintiffs, an Air TransportAssociation of Canada press
release stated. The claimsare in excess of $1 millionand the lawsuit is expectedto be brought before theSupreme Court of B.C.
Increased security restric-tions were in place fromJan. 29 to March 24 for the
Olympics. Air operators saytheir businesses were sig-nificantly impaired becauseof the regulations.
Restrictions includedextensive prescreening forpilots, instructors and stu-dents.
If it sounds to good to betrue, it probably is. That’sthe message from Deltapolice this week after anattempted real estate fraud.
The suspect(s) set up aCraigslist posting adver-tising a four-bedroomTsawwassen house for rentfor $1,000 a month.
One local resident, whodid not want his name used,saw the ad as he was look-ing for a new place to live.He said he was intriguedand sent an e-mail inquiry.He received an “officiallooking” reply with a rentalapplication from a man whosaid he was being relocatedto Nigeria for work for afew years and instead ofselling the family home, hedecided to rent it out.
The man filled out theapplication, which includedpersonal information suchas his address, driver’slicence number and date ofbirth.
Later, he drove by thehouse and noticed it had a
for sale sign out front. Hecalled the realtor and wastold the Craigslist ad was afraud.
Delta police spokesper-son Sgt. Sharlene Brookssaid the initial report camefrom the homeowner,who said they had beenapproached by a few peopleinquiring about the rentalad.
The fraudulent ad hassince been removed fromthe website, she said.
Brooks had a few tips forpeople using the Internet tolook for rental accommoda-tions.
“If it sounds too good tobe true, it probably is,” shesaid.
Brooks said not to pro-vide any personal informa-tion unless you have metwith someone in person;a face-to-face meeting isappropriate.
“If things are not addingup, listen to your instincts.”
With the ad removed andno loss of money or prop-erty, Brooks said the inves-tigation into the matter hasbeen concluded.
TransLink wants to digeven deeper into homeown-ers’ pockets.
TransLink’s board essen-tially gave an ultimatum toMetro Vancouver mayorsthis week, requesting addi-tional funding to build the$1.4 billion Evergreen Line.
Two transit serviceimprovement options werepresented, both includingthe rapid transit line.
The mayors were toldthey risked losing millionsin federal funding if thefinancing wasn’t secured bya deadline.
The extra fundingreportedly works out to anadditional $60 in propertytax for an average MetroVancouver home valued at$600,000.
In Delta, the averageassessed value of a home iscurrently $488,000. In twoyears, if the average valuereaches the $500,000 mark,the tax hit would be around$50, noted Delta budgetingmanager Vivian Koo, sayingthe increase would depend
on the value of homes at thetime.
Koo said TransLink ispermitted to raise its shareof property taxes by a cer-tain percentage every year,but any additional fundingfor big projects has to beapproved by regional may-ors.
In a letter to the mayors,board chair Dale Parkernoted the recommendedoption for the supplemental
increase would also addover 425,000 hours of annu-al service to bus routes.Based on current usage,that represents the capacityto provide over 23 millionmore transit trips per year.
Parker said the Southof the Fraser region wouldreceive half of the addi-tional bus service hours,which would make over 11million more rides per yearavailable in the area.
Noting a vehicle levycouldn’t be implemented bythe federal funding dead-line, Parker also said therewould be future “importantprojects that will justifyfuture supplements as theregion grows.”
Saying the mayors areleft in a position wheretheir only input into tran-sit proposals is to say yesor no to funding requests,Delta South MLA Vicki
Huntington believes hom-eowners are already maxedout when it comes to taxa-tion.
“My personal view isthey just simply have tofind either more efficien-cies in the system or theyhave to scale back theirneeds. I just don’t knowany other way around it.You cannot keep askingthese homeowners to keepfooting these bills,” said
Huntington.TransLink is offering to
fund the first year of thenew three-year plan from itsreserves, giving the mayorsand provincial governmenttime to act on a memoran-dum of understanding theysigned in late Septemberand develop new sourcesof funding to avoid furtherincreases to property taxes.
While the possibility ofvehicle levies has been acontentious topic, at thispoint it’s not clear if futurealternate sources couldalso include the possibilityof bridge and tunnel tolls,something that certainlywouldn’t go over well inSouth Delta.
Mayor Lois Jackson, inan interview last month,said TransLink was doingthe planning for transporta-tion without a real mandatefor planning, which is nor-mally done at the regionaldistrict. At that time shesaid she wasn’t prepared toconsider any further taxa-tion on homeowners.
The TransLink Mayors’Council will vote on theincrease Dec. 9.

A new replacement feewill be introduced for usersof Delta’s artificial turfplaying fields.
Delta council approvedthe new fee this week,which won’t begin until2012. It’s part of a series offee adjustments for parksand recreation facilities.
A report by parks andrecreation director KenKuntz notes synthetic turffields have a life expectan-cy of 12 to 15 years. Delta’soldest field at Mackie Parkis almost nine years old.
Youth sports groups willbe charged $3.50 per hourfor using artificial turffields, while adult groupswill pay $7 per hour. In2013, the fee will increaseto $5 per hour for youthgroups and $10 for adults.
The replacement fee willadd approximately $10 ayear to the total registrationfee for an individual, saidKuntz.
It is expected to gener-ate $38,000 in 2012 and$53,000 the following year.
New fees and charges,meanwhile, for other rec-
reation facilities in 2011,according to Kuntz, won’tsignificantly change rev-enue amounts for Delta, butincreases for 2012 and 2013are expected to generate anadditional $140,000 annu-ally.
Kuntz said Delta aims tome in the middle to lower
end of fees for culture andrecreation programs inMetro Vancouver.
Coun. Robert Campbell,who chairs the parks andrecreation commission,said admission revenuesare extremely important tohelp the bottom line, eventhough the services are still
subsidized by taxpayers.“It’s worth mention-
ing how much money isbrought in from fees andcharges each year. It’sseven-and-a-half million(dollars). If we didn’t havethese fees and chargesstructure, and everythingwas based on the tax draw,
then we would have to haveclose to an eight per centincrease in our tax rate tocover off the revenue thatfees and charges bring in,”he said.
Campbell added a largeportion of user fees aredirected to equipmentreplacement reserve funds.

Early impressions arepositive for the new Ladnerskate park.
“So far it’s good. It’sgot some ... good lines.It’s a little bit small butthe designdefinitelymakes up forthe size,” saidskateboarderJohn Baker,who was outusing the parkon Mondayafternoon with about 20others.
The new skate park,just north of the LadnerLeisure Centre, has beenopen for over a week. Theold park was removed tomake room for the DeltaSports Development Centre,future home of the DeltaGymnastics Society.
Baker, who’s fromVancouver, said he usedto come out to the previ-ous park “all the time” anddescribed it as something ofa skateboarding landmark.
The old park had a street
style to it while the newone has a bowl style, Bakersaid.
Chris Macallum, whoalso made the trip fromVancouver, said he’s reallyhappy with the new skatepark.
He did say that someaddi-tions likestreet andtransitionfeatureswould be abenefit.
“It wouldbe good to
develop it further,” he said.Delta park planner Linda
Nielsen said skateboarderswere included in helpingshape the park.
“They had a greatinvolvement in the designprocess,” she said.
She said early feedbackhas been positive.
“From what I heard, theylove it. They’re ecstaticabout it. Everyday when Idrive by on my way homeI kind of stop and look.There’s usually 10 to 20[people] out there skatingaround.
“We encourage the kidsto get out there and use itwhile they can before it getstoo dark at night,” she said,adding that Delta parks areclosed at night.
Some landscaping aroundthe skate park still needsto be completed, Nielsennoted.

Shanti Yoga’s first-everBoundary Beach Clean Upwas a success, according toorganizers.
About 20 people associ-ated with the Tsawwassenyoga studio braved therain Oct. 23 to pick up 50pounds of garbage off thebeach. The group foundeverything from paper cupsand bunches of deflatedhelium balloons tied withribbons to earplugs.
Chantal O’Sullivan fromShanti Yoga said the studiowould definitely do it again.
***Lower Mainland home
sales have remained steadyover the past four months,indicating stability in theresidential housing market,the Real Estate Board ofGreater Vancouver said lastweek.
“We’ve seen a lot moreconsistency and less volatil-ity in recent months whenit comes to both numberedsales and pricing, althoughit’s important to remem-ber that conditions oftenvary between communi-ties and neighbourhoods,”said board president JakeMoldowan, who is a SouthDelta realtor.
The number of salesis on the rise — Octobersaw 2,337 transactions inGreater Vancouver, which isa 5.3 per cent increase overSeptember but a 36.9 percent decrease from October2009, which saw 3,704sales.
Prices have seen a slight
increase in the last 12months. Last month, thebenchmark price for allresidential properties inthe Lower Mainland was$579,349, which is 4.6 percent higher than October
2009 ($553,702). However,since June residential homeprices have remained rela-tively unchanged, decliningby 0.2 per cent.
“As we enter the finaltwo months of the year,buyer demand is in closeralignment with supplythan we’ve seen for mostof 2010,” Moldowan said.“Those buying today rec-ognize that they still have achance to enter the market
with near record low inter-est rates, while gradualreductions in inventory haveeased downward pressureon prices.”
The benchmark pricefor a detached home in
South Delta in Octoberwas $655,980, that’s downslightly from the three-month average benchmarkprice of $674,537.
***The Greater Vancouver
Home Builders’ Associationhas launched its 15thannual Coats for Kidscampaign in support of theLower Mainland ChristmasBureau, which aims to pro-vide a brighter Christmasfor families in need.
“Last year, the responseto Coats for Kids washeartwarming as LowerMainland residents donatedmore than 3,000 coats,
scarves, gloves, blanketsand new unwrapped toysand gifts for distributionto children, teenagers andadults,” said GVHBA chair-man Todd Senft.
Locally, donations canbe dropped off at BestBuilders Ltd., 1338-56thSt., Tsawwassen, between8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Mondayto Friday; or at the SouthDelta Leader, 7-1363-56thSt., between 9 a.m. and 5p.m., Monday to Friday.

Don’t lookinternallyfor leader
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
Internal candidates need not apply.If the B.C. Liberals have not already
issued that memo in regards to find-ing a replacement for Premier GordonCampbell, they would be advised todo so. Although it’s customary when aparty leader steps down for his or hermost trusted lieutenants to battle it outto become the successor, there are timeswhen that’s not advisable.
This, I’m afraid, is one of those times.Recent B.C. history backs that up.
Ujjal Dosanjh took over for the dis-graced Glen Clark and promptly led theNew Democrats into oblivion in the 2001election. Despite being a well respectedmember of cabinet, Dosanjh lost hisown riding in the landslide that saw theLiberals capture all but two of 79 seats.
A decade earlier, Bill Vander Zalm’ssuccessor, Rita Johnson, came fromSocial Credit’s inner circle only to pre-side over the death of the once-proudparty, which was limited to just sevenseats and third billing in the legislature.
It’s hard to believe the Liberals won’tsuffer the same fate if they decide tolook within their own ranks to replaceCampbell. There’s simply too much bag-gage associated with this administrationfor one of its key players to become thenew face of it.
Everyone’s keeping their cards closeto the vest at this point, but none of themost likely suspects — cabinet ministerslike Kevin Falcon, Mike de Jong andRich Coleman — are ruling out a run forthe leadership. They all have aspirations,which is completely understandable, butat this point in time they’re all the wrongchoice.
Falcon has mused about Carole Tayloras a possible leadership candidate, evengoing as far as to suggest he’d step asideif the former Liberal finance ministerand current SFU chancellor-designateopted to run. Popular Surrey MayorDianne Watts is another name being ban-died about.
Whether it’s one of these two or some-one else, the writing is most definitelyon the wall: the Liberals have to lookoutside of their own ranks to find anew leader. And even that might not beenough to win back supporters that havebeen alienated by the HST and otherdecisions.
Back in 1991, NDP leader MikeHarcourt said he’d much rather face abaggage-toting Johnston than GraceMcCarthy, the grand dame of the Socredswho had distanced herself from the scan-dal-plagued Vander Zalm. Harcourt gothis wish and became premier as a result.
I suspect Carole James has a similarwish. It’s entirely up to the Liberals todecide if it will come true.

Last Wednesday, after some“considerable soul-searching” —or, perhaps, poll reading — GordonCampbell announced he was step-ping down, after serving as premierof B.C. since 2001. Somewhere,I’m sure, anti-HST campaignershad a drink to celebrate.
In a televised statementCampbell said, “Over the last fewweeks, our government has contin-ued to move forward with initia-tives that will create jobs, builda stronger economy and supportfamilies across British Columbia.”(Good job, speech writers, on try-ing to put a positive spin on hisspectacular fall from grace.)
He continued, “Yet it is clear tome that those initiatives are beingovershadowed. When public debatebecomes focused on one person,instead of what is in the best inter-est of British Columbians, we havelost sight about what is important.
When that happens, it’s time forchange.”
Some would call it a change,sure, but others might just call it alast ditch effort to win the next pro-vincial election in 2013. The facthe realized it would take two-and-a-half years to turnthings around isn’texactly a good signfor the party.
NDP LeaderCarole James com-mented, “It’s becomeincreasingly clear theB.C. Liberals havebroken trust withthe people they wereelected to serve. Noissue shows that moreclearly than the HST.”
She’s right that the sloppy intro-duction of the HST is the mainreason Campbell slipped down toa nine per cent approval rating,but what’s yet to be determined iswhich party, by the time the 2013election comes around, will havegained enough trust to form ourprovincial government.
The Liberals have done a greatjob at losing supporters, but it alsowasn’t that long ago the NDP wasin the same position.
Remember, when Campbell tookover the Liberals in 1993, they
hadn’t won a provincial election inmore than 50 years. It took somepretty spectacular screw-ups on theNDP’s part to allow the Liberals totake over.
Either way, it’s a win-winsituation for our MLA ,Vicki
Huntington, whoseelection as an inde-pendent in 2009granted her immu-nity in this mess. Italso proved a fewthings.
Firstly, that shehad maintained astellar reputationduring her careerin municipal poli-tics.
Secondly, that our riding ofDelta South was seriously unhappywith the Liberal party for somevery valid reasons and lastly, thatthere is a demand for a third optionin B.C. provincial politics.
Some ridings, like ours, areunhappy with the Liberals andeither don’t align themselves withthe NDP or haven’t forgotten yetwhat a mess they made the lasttime they were in power. In a two-party province this doesn’t leaveyou with many options, and maybe,just maybe, it’s time for this tochange.
Not much choice available tovoters in two-party province

Editor:As I write this letter
Carol Berner is yet to besentenced, however herstatement to the court anda statement released by herniece attributed to Bernerare available on the internetand in print.
As a longtime residentof East Ladner (I am onlya two-minute walk toaccident site) I have fol-lowed the trial with interestbelieving the Middelaerfamily’s tragedy is one thataffects and diminishes ourentire community. I have apersonal interest in seeingjustice is done and similar“accidents” are prevented inthe future.
Berner says she is foreverchanged and will suffer forthe rest of her life becauseof her actions. She told thecourt she will never driveagain, has given up drinkingand has found God.
What she has yet toexplain is why, if she is soremorseful, she allowed herlawyer to argue that she wasnot guilty.
Berner’s statement andher remorse are a day lateand a dollar short.
Berner isn’t sorry shedrove drunk that day, she issorry she caused an acci-dent, was caught and sub-sequently convicted. Peoplewho are truly sorry for theiractions acknowledge themand take responsibility forthem long before a judge orjury determines their guiltor innocence.
While I support Berner’sright to mount a vigorousdefense and present thatcase in court, her apologyhas a hollow ring to it. IfBerner truly wanted to“have the opportunity tohelp rebuild value in ourcommunity and heal thedevastation I have caused”
she would have saved theMiddelaers the pain andanguish of living through atrial and would have accept-ed responsibility from theoutset.
Her lawyer’s (and byextension her) suggestionthe car malfunctioned andall the other arguments putforward only served onepurpose and that was toconfuse the issue surround-ing her guilt.
I’m sorry, Ms. Berner,I don’t believe your apol-ogy is heartfelt but ratherlike everything else youand your lawyer have donethroughout this trial it issimply another ploy todistract our attention awayfrom the real issue.
You drove the car thatkilled Alexa, you chose todrink and drive that day andyou chose to speed down64th Street. Acknowledgethose facts, accept your
punishment and pleasedon’t do it again.

Berner’s remorse doesn’t jibe withher efforts to deflect responsibility
Editor:Re: Chief finds Van. offi-
cers used reasonable force,Nov. 6
OK, let me work this out:Two Vancouver cops beatup a guy and can’t givechief Jim Chu intelligentanswers for their actions, soChu apologizes to his men’svictim.
Victim hires lawyer, soChu asks Delta’s policechief, Jim Cessford, toinvestigate.
Cessford agrees to do so— in his own sweet time.
His finding, eventually:
Chu’s men acted correctlyby beating up a guy whomthey couldn’t understand.
Eh? Is it also policepolicy to shoot first and ask
questions later?Criminal lawyers should
be hired to investigatepolice.

Editor:The Canadian Cancer
Society would like tocongratulate the mayor,councillors and residents ofDelta for their enactmentof a pesticide use controlbylaw that will come intoeffect on Nov. 16. We wouldalso like to applaud theCorporation of Delta for itsexhaustive efforts to edu-cate the community on pes-ticide-free lawn and gardenmaintenance.
In Canada, more than130 municipalities havetaken a leadership role inbanning pesticides in theircommunities. Many morewill soon follow.
By taking its first steptoward becoming a pes-
ticide-free municipality,Delta will be able to jointhis list of progressivecommunities and furtherenhance its image as a fam-ily-friendly and healthycommunity.
The Canadian CancerSociety would also liketo congratulate the mem-bers of the Delta PesticideCoalition, who for overthree years have contrib-uted their time and energyto raising awareness inthe community about therisks of pesticide exposureand what we can do in ourfamilies, neighbourhoodsand community to make adifference.
The Canadian CancerSociety is very concerned
about the use of potentiallycarcinogenic substances forthe purpose of enhancingthe appearance of privategardens and lawns as wellas parks, recreational facili-ties and golf courses.
There are numerous non-toxic alternatives to pes-ticides, and research tellsus that in regions wherepesticide bylaws are inplace, businesses have notonly shifted successfully tonon-toxic alternatives, butthat sales and offerings ofnon-toxic alternatives aregrowing.

Editor:Most municipal politi-
cians are true pothole fix-ers. When asked to look athigher-level responsibilitieslike population growth andimmigration, they pleadthey are helpless.
They have done this formany years, but particularlyin the past 20 years whenasked to deal with senselessimmigration-driven popu-
lation growth and all theproblems this insanity hasbrought with it.
Contrary to what manymunicipal politicians say,they have the power toinfluence provincial andfederal policies. They donot have to sit down andtake orders.
Even though they havebeen virtually useless for20 years, they can still do
something. They shouldbe joining other LowerMainland municipalitiesto pressure the provinceand Ottawa to dramaticallyreduce immigration.
If they don’t do this,the conflicts are going toincrease and the environ-mental destruction of theLower Mainland will con-tinue.

Recent elections in the U.S. maybe considered a significant set-back to the Obama administration.Legislation in France that wouldraise the retirement age from 60 to62 has led to strikes that threatenedto paralyze that nation’s economyeven further. There have been dem-onstrations in the streets of Greece inthe recent past due to belt tighteninglegislation.
Premier Gordon Campbellannounced he’s stepping down andour recently appointed solicitorgeneral, Rich Coleman, seems to beback peddling on the strict drinkingand driving legislation.
What we are witnessing is a resur-gence of the “power of the people.”Before we get too carried away withour new sense of power, we need toask ourselves seriously: What’s driv-
ing it?In many ways the driving force is
self-deception! People in the U.S.,France, Greece and, yes, citizens ofour province (you and I) are deceiv-ing ourselves thinking we can keepup our privileged lifestyles withoutresponsibilities. We want the gov-ernment to take care of us; we feelentitled to all the privileges but areloath to take on the responsibilitiesthat come with them.
Well, guess what? It doesn’t takean expensive study to understand lifedoesn’t work this way. Things willgo from bad to worse as long as weallow ourselves to be deceived ordeceive ourselves. (See 2 Timothy3:12). Let’s cherish the privileges weenjoy but let’s be equally responsibleby demanding less of others andmore of ourselves.
Privilege has a price

Breakmen roll into Ladner
The Breakmen will be making a stopin Ladner later this month as partof the band’s Canadian tour.
It’s a busy stretch for the Vancouver-based roots band, having just released anew album, titled Heartwood, and havingshows lined up in Ontario, Quebec, B.C.and Alberta over the next few weeks.
“We’re really excited about the newCD. We had a ton of fun making it andwe’re looking forward to the tour. It’sgoing to be a blast,” says Breakmenmember and Boundary Bay resident LeeWatson, who sings and plays guitar andmandolin.
Heartwood, available since Sunday,is the band’s third album but marks thefirst time the group has worked with Junoaward-winning producer Bob Hamilton.
“It was really fun working with BobHamilton up in Whitehorse at Old CrowRecordings. He’s been someone we’velooked up to for a long time. We’vealways loved the records that he’s done,”says Watson during a phone interviewfrom Toronto last week where the bandwas rehearsing for the tour.
While he and fellow band membersArchie Pateman, Ben Rogalsky andMatthew Lawson are all originally fromOntario, Watson says they met while treeplanting and relocated to B.C.
The group’s self titled debut albumcame out in 2006 while sophomore effortWhen You Leave Town was released in2008.
That record earned the band CanadianFolk Music Awards nominations last yearin the Emerging Artist of the Year and
Vocal Ensemble of the Year categories.The group was also nominated for a 2009Independent Music Award for AmericanaAlbum of the Year.
The group’s website describes theband’s sound as “a distinct voice inCanadian roots music” and gives it thelabel of “Roots Soup.”
Watson says he doesn’t know exactlywhere the term came from but notes that’sa good way to describe their music.
“We draw from all kinds of rootsmusic, American, Canadian, whateveryou want to call it, North American rootsmusic,” he says, noting they also drawfrom blues, country, folk, bluegrass androck ‘n roll.
As time goes on, the band’s evolving,he says.
“When we got together we were reallyinfluenced by bluegrass music and stringband music and we still are, but we’reincorporating other influences.”
On Heartwood there’s an increasedrock ‘n’ roll feel with more electric guitarand drums. It wasn’t a conscious deci-sion, Watson says, but just something thathappened and began flowing through thesong writing and instrumentation on thealbum.
The Breakmen are scheduled to playon Saturday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. at GenesisTheatre, 5005-45th Ave., Ladner.
Tickets are $20 and are availablethrough Ticketweb, www.ticketweb.ca,by calling 1-888-222-6608, or at Ricky’sRestaurant in Ladner. For more informa-tion, or to reserve will call tickets at thetheatre, check www.genesistheatre.ca.
Genesis Theatre manager SteveCampbell notes the CBC will be at theconcert for a live recording.

Working the ‘forgotten muscles’
Confession: It’s nice towork out muscles that makeus look good.
I mean, let’s be honest, alot of us started working outpurely due to vanity!
Yes, feeling good, beingfit, moving fluidly andbeing strong are also allgreat and valid reasonspeople choose to begin, andcontinue, to work out, butlet’s not overlook the factwe also want some damnfine looking abs as well.
Common areas that wetrain to “look good” dependon gender.
Men like to train the T-shirt muscles — the pecs,biceps and shoulders —while women prefer to trainthe booty muscles — theglutes and legs.
But what about the restof the body? In particular,
those muscles that help uswith our daily activities,assist us in sport, stabilizeour shoulders, hips andspine? The muscles thathelp those big muscles, likethe pecs, glutes and legs, dotheir jobs?
I call these muscles our“forgotten muscles.”
Unfortunately, if theyremain forgotten, we willeventually be plagued withsome sort of pain, potential-ly an injury and a definiteloss of full function.
While we may have for-gotten about these muscles,let me assure you they willnot allow you to forgetabout them for too long.
There are many little sta-bilizer muscles that need tobe kept strong in the body,but I have found four thatare weak on most individu-als.
These four “forgottenmuscles” are the lowertrapezius, the rotator cuffgroup, the gluteus mediusmuscles and the multifidimuscles.
Below I have outlined
four exercises you can eas-ily implement into yourregular workout routineso you no longer overlookyour forgotten muscles.
Lower TrapeziusThe lower traps are locat-
ed around the mid-backarea, in between the shoul-der blades, and are crucialfor proper posture and astable shoulder joint.
I have also found that bystrengthening this group ofmuscles, people who areprone to tension headachesexperience fewer of them.
• Hold onto a Therm-Band with both hands,palms up.
• Open up the chest andfocus on bringing the shoul-ders down and together.Pause and slowly release,bringing your hands backtogether.
• You should feel astretch in your chest and themuscles in your mid-backfire up.
• Aim 15-20 repetitions.
Rotator Cuff
These group of fourmuscles are located in theback cuff of the shoulderand are crucial at maintain-ing shoulder stability.
The most effective way tostrengthen all four musclesis with the side-lying exter-nal rotation exercise with alight dumbbell.
• Lie on your left side,with your right arm flexedat 90 degrees and resting ontop of a rolled towel on thewaist.
• Rotate the upper arm,raising the dumbbell ashigh as you can while stillkeeping the elbow on top ofthe towel.
• Aim for 15-20 repeti-tions.
Gluteus MediusThe glute med is an
important muscle in con-trolling and stabilizing thehips, as well as assisting inknee tracking.
• Lie on your side againsta wall. The head, hips andheels should all be touchingthe wall.
• Lift the top leg up, slid-ing the heel along the wallas you do. Keep your toepointed slightly downwardsas you lift.
• Aim for 15-20 repeti-tions.
MultifidusThe multifidus muscle
is a series of deep musclesthat are attached up the spi-nal column. They are usedto stabilize the low backand pelvis before movementof the legs and arms occur.
In order to perform thebird/dog exercise as pre-scribed below, it is veryimportant to be able toactivate your transversusabdominis as well as themulitfidi.
I recommend that you logonto www.dianelee.ca/ser-vices/MULTIFIDUS.pdf tolearn how.
• Position yourself on
your hands and knees, withyour hands directly belowthe shoulders and yourknees directly below thehips.
• Engage your multifidus(see website above to learnhow) and extend your rightarm straight out, thumb up,and your left leg.
• Hold for 8-10 secondsand then switch sides.
• Aim for 4-5 times eachside.

South Delta Storm’s Phoenix Worth (left) battles for the bouncing puck while teammate Adam Musil (right) heads up ice during opening day action against Langley at the Tim Jardine BantamShowcase on Thursday at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The Storm lost this game 5-1 but bounced back with a big 3-2 upset win over Seafair. The quarter-finals get underway today at 12:45 p.m. Thesemi-finals go at 8 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, and the tournament concludes with the championship game at 4:15 p.m. All games are at the Ladner Leisure Centre.
Familiar territory for Ice Hawks new coachDave McLellan is not only up to speed on the Pacific International Junior Hockey League but once played junior in Ladner
Dave McLellan needed no intro-duction to the Pacific InternationalJunior Hockey League or eventhe Ladner Leisure Centre for thatmatter.
As a scout for the NanaimoClippers, McLellan was alreadygetting his steady diet of PIJHLgames when the Delta Ice Hawksoffered him the head coachingposition last month. Since then,the former head coach of the B.C.Hockey League’s Burnaby Expresshas been perfect behind the benchwith four straight wins, includingTuesday’s 4-3 triumph over theMission Icebreakers.
“It just seemed like a naturalfit,” said McLellan who is goodfriends with Ice Hawks generalmanager Peter Zerbinos.. “It madesense, I met with the ownershipgroup and it feels good gettingback into coaching. Everything hasbeen really good so far.”
McLelllan’s playing careeractually included a stop withthe former Ladner Rebels junior“B” franchise. The New Westnative went on to conclude hisjunior career in Bellingham andChilliwack. He played profession-ally in Europe before turning hisattention to coaching.
For a decade, he was a direc-tor of player development forthe Nippon Cranes of the Asian
Professional League and helpedthe franchise win a pair of cham-pionships. In 2005, he returnedhome to work as an assistant withthe Express. He later would servethree seasons as the club’s headcoach and director of hockeyoperations.
McLellan also runs Top ShelfHockey — a player developmentschool based out of Langley.
He inherited an Ice Hawk teamthat had already got off to a solidstart under former coach DarrylErickson and the challenge is tomotivate veteran group that iscapable of going the distance.
“The pace of play is not thatmuch different (than the BCHL)but if you don’t bring your best
game you will get into trouble likewe did tonight,” said McLellan inreference to the shaky win overMission. “We hadn’t practice forpast six days and we want to getback into good habits. We’re ateam that thinks it can outscoreits problems. We want to developmore on the defensive side.”
“I think if you are going togo deep into the playoffs, in anyleague, with any team, then youhave to be a good defensive hock-ey team. When we won a nationalchampionship (2005 in Burnaby)everyone thought we were a greatoffensive team. But when you lookback at that playoff run, we madeteams earn everything they got.”
Despite his perfect start and
the Ice Hawks’ league best 14-3-2record, it’s only good enough fora first place tie with North Delta(15-6-0) in the extremely com-petitive Tom Shaw Conference.The two teams meet tonight atSungod Arena, while the thirdplace Richmond Sockeyes are justthree points back and fourth placeGrandview six.
“The lack of balance (in theleague) is something I evennoticed from a scouting perspec-tive,” added McLelland. “Yourtypically watching the same teamsall the time and the other divisionhas been left behind. It’s defi-nitely unqiue. Our game againstGrandview (a 2-1 overtime win)felt like a playoff game.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Nov. 14 - Nov. 20★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Your last week ofmystery, Aries – and of chances to benefit fromothers’ largesse or deep pockets. Here are somekeywords for action within this arena: Invest,capitulate, confess, fix health, rest Sunday to Tuesdaydawn. Ignore an acquaintance’s advice! Pay, buy,sell, “stamp” agreements, embrace or make peacewith someone, inventory your possessions Friday/Saturday. Governments, courts, institutions, lawyers,travel matters, publishers, head office, partners,antagonists, mate, public, opportunities, agreements– all these, indecisive or inactive in recent months,finally march forward.Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationships remainimportant.Studyopportunities,agreements,relocationprospects, competition and whether you shouldjoin ‘em or fight ‘em. But don’t study too long – actsoon – or immediately (Monday daytime, Wednesdayeve, dawn Thursday right through Saturday). Recentdelays in work, employment, machinery and healthzones end Thursday. Longer delays (since July) alsoend, in social, planning, sexual, investment, financialand lifestyle zones. Get going – reach out! Happiness,flirtation, social delights, even love arrive Sunday/Monday. Rest midweek. You shine Friday/Saturday!Gemini May 21-June 20: Your last week of workand drudgery, Gemini. Soon, new horizons will arrive!Meanwhile, tackle chores. Buy or repair machinery,vehicles. Adjust diet, nutrition, health regimens. Yourcareer is highlighted Sunday to Tuesday dawn. Beambitious – you could net a promotion; VIPs, bosses orparents will approve of or aid your projects, proposals.Optimism, friendship, entertainment enter Tuesdayp.m. through Thursday: avoid intellectual or ethicaldisputes at work. Rest, retreat Friday/Saturday. Fourmonths of delays end in negotiations, partnerships,relocation, career and “judgment.”
Cancer June 21-July 22: You start this romanticweek with mellow wisdom, Cancer. After this,romance dies down briefly, then will return againby month’s end, into January – but in that nextphase it will be more volatile, demand more criticalchoices. So enjoy this pleasure-filled, non-pressureweek! (You might be dealing with creative projects,vacation, charming kids, beauty, hobbies, sports,rather than romance.) A legal, media, educational ortravel solution arrives Monday, especially if you chaseit. Buy tickets. Be ambitious Wednesday/Thursday.Happiness, wish fulfilment arrive Friday/Saturday!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Four-month delays in bigfinancial areas (investments, debts, mortgages, otherpeople’s money,business funding) and in sex, intimatecommitments, lifestyle changes, research and deephealth (e.g., surgery) end now. Shorter and lessimportant delays in mail, communications, telephoneinstallation, career projects, travel and paperwork(especially re: property) end now. Push forward to endthings and to plant a new life. Seek funding, suggestsettlements, let go of one lifestyle and grasp another,especially Monday. Legal, travel, love and intellectualaffairs succeed Wednesday/Thursday.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: An easy, enjoyable week,Virgo. The general accent lies on communications,paperwork, travel, errands and details. Long delaysend in relationships and opportunities – the best,luckiest, appear Monday to pre-dawn Tuesday, andThursday. (If they don’t appear, create and chasethem!) One opportunity might entail abandoninga job. Life’s depths flow in Tuesday p.m. throughThursday: a relationship becomes intimate, youfollow opportunity with commitment, money or apromise. Revealing facts surface. (Especially if youturn over a rock or two.) Wisdom, gentle love arriveFriday/Saturday.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Continue to chase money,earn it, use it, spend it. Machinery, tools, vehiclesare a great buy Monday (AFTER dawn). In SeymourNarrows, B.C., there used to be a huge underwaterhazard called “Ripple Rock” that caused wrecks for250 years, and prevented efficient ferry traffic. Finally,in 1958, the government blew it up. Your relationshipsmight hold such a deep, hidden rock. Pluto’s downthere now (2008 to 2024) trying to eradicate it. It’s“there”Tuesday night – but not Wednesday/Thursday,when love and partnership opportunities soar! Work,financial, sexual and intimate delays end.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness remain high – and this luckyweek speeds you toward your goals! Start majorprojects, seek attention, ask favours, display yourtalents. Delays that have frustrated you for monthsin creative, speculative, romantic zones – and shorterdelays in partnership, relocation and/or government-related zones – all end now. You ride a winning streakSunday to Tuesday – romance, speculation, creativity,all reward. Take a risk! Tackle work mid-week. You’llsucceed. Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday– smooth co-operation, money agreements prevail.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This is your lastweek of seclusion, Sage. Rest deeply, as next weekyou’ll burst into new projects, situations and hopes.The more you rest now, the more energy you’ll havethen – and the more chores and obligations youclear away now, the lighter and more free you’ll be– when it counts. This is a great week, considering.Everything revolves around your domestic situationSunday to Tuesday: Monday holds property, securityluck. Romantic notions tease and please mid-week.You might make a “backyard” friend. Work, healthFriday/Saturday. Personal, domestic and socialdelays end.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent remains onwish fulfilment,popularity, social delights, light romanceand entertainment. You feel optimistic about yourfuture; this is a great week to make plans. Do errands,paperwork, communicate and travel Sunday to Monday.Monday to Thursday favours communications aboutmoney – and money information. Read, ask questions,follow your curiosity. Past frustrating delays end inall these areas (especially in obtaining information,especially from government and large corporations).Home, midweek. Romance, pleasure, creative surgesFriday/Saturday – take a chance!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still in a generalambition cycle, for another eight days. Act early– Sunday to Tuesday favour chasing money, seekinga pay raise, cultivating new clients, etc. Monday’sbest. Communications, errands, details, travel, casualacquaintances stymie you Tuesday, but they bringinterest, happy social interludes (Wednesday) and someintriguing money ideas (Thursday). This week ends afour-month delay in earnings, purchasing power, anddealing with possessions. Beware a bit of deceptionfrom higher-ups midweek. Head home Friday/Saturdayfor a rejuvenating rest – excitement’s coming!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, understanding,higher learning, far travel, publishing, religion, culturalinvolvements – these are still your main theme.Your energy and magnetism surge upward Sundayto Tuesday – and your luck soars Monday. Takeadvantage, get something done, propose, impresssomeone! Chase money Tuesday eve to Thursday– your idea factory might be a little wobbly, but yourpractical instincts are right, especially Wednesday. Thisweek ends four months of delay in your ambitions.A lotof that delay emerged from your own indecision: thatends too. Light friends, heavy info, Saturday.
