THE FUTURE OF CITY TRAFFIC

JR. ’BELLIES READY TO ROLL IN PLAYOFFS

www.newwestnewsleader.com

WEDNESDAY JULY 9 2014

The Pattullo Bridge will be closed for three weekends this summer for repair and repaving.

The first weekend scheduled for a shutdown is July 25 to 28. It will close Friday at 8 p.m. and reopen Monday at 3 a.m. The bridge is also scheduled to be closed the weekends of Aug. 15-18 and Aug. 29 to Sept. 1. However, those dates may change because the work is weather dependent.

While the work is being done TransLink, the bridge’s owner, will review the condition of the bridge’s driving surface and make improvements as necessary. But all of the work is maintenance only. Structural issues such as narrow lanes, seismic upgrades or barriers to protect pedestrians and cyclists will not be included.

While the bridge will be closed to all traffic, including bicycles and pedestrians, emergency vehicles will have access.

During the closure two bus routes will be affected. The N19 NightBus will be rerouted via the Alex Fraser and Queensborough bridges while the 321 in Surrey on Sunday morning will end at the Scott Road loop.

City issues warning about nasty plant popping up near SkyTrain stationGrant [email protected]

What Charlotte Barton saw as the SkyTrain pulled into the 22nd Street Station one afternoon has the city issuing a warning to area residents.

Barton’s been riding the rails for 27 years commuting to her job in a Downtown Vancouver law office. She’s always looking out the windows and keeping her eyes peeled. The surroundings always fascinate her, even though she’s

frequently the only one aboard not transfixed by a handheld device.

What she saw in a vacant lot just northwest of the station caught her eye. Popping out of the scrub stretching to the sky were these tall stems with large white flower heads.

“I did a little double take,” said Barton.

Her eagle eyes had spotted Giant Hogweed. It’s a plant where even brushing against it can cause severe burns and blistering. Its clear sap and hairs are corrosive.

The plant can grow as high as five metres and its flower heads can produce about 50,000 seeds a year.

Although the plant was next to a chain link fence surrounded by scrub brush and prickle bushes, the sight bothered Barton.

“People walk their dogs near there. Little kids could get hurt, dogs could get hurt, it’s really open and accessible,” said Barton.

Two years ago, Giant Hogweed was spotted in Queensborough.

“The way the prevailing winds blow here, [the seeds] could have easily blown across from Queensborough. It’s in the right spot,” said Barton.

Kristian Davis of the city’s engineering department said the

hogweed is on private land. He added the owner will be notified with an order to remove it.

“We usually want to get rid of it right away,” said Davis. “It’s a bit of an ordeal to get rid of it.”

The city suggests getting a professional to remove it because it requires protective, waterproof clothing, gloves and safety goggles. It also has to be double bagged and shouldn’t be composted.

Davis said Giant Hogweed was found recently south of the SkyTrain tracks on River Drive. It was on Ministry of Transportation property and the province removed it.

ART IN THE LIBRARYThe New Westminster Public Library is a great place to escape the heat of the summer and enjoy two very diff erent art shows.

In the Reference Department, Hana Kim presents The Manifold of Memory, an exploration in modern Batik making. She uses various surfaces to create two- and three-dimensional works. These colourful abstract pieces extend the boundary of traditional Batik painting and transform craft into modernist art.

On the Ramp, Harvey Tuura refl ects on his career at sea with his show Lightships and the Seafaring Life. On display are paintings of lightships, which acted as beacons, and some of the ships and events Harvey was involved with. These included sailing in fog, gillnet and halibut fi shing, and a rescue at sea.

The art can be seen at the Main Library at any time during library open hours until July 31, 2014. The New Westminster Public Library is at 716 6th Avenue; www.nwpl.ca; 604-527-4660.

WHAT ARE YOU READING? A SUMMER READING PROGRAM FOR ADULTSJuly 7 - August 31, 2014.

The weeks are titled:

• Who Done It? (mysteries)

HOGWEED SIGHTINGThe City of New Westminster would like to inform residents that giant hogweed has been sighted in the Connaught Heights neighbourhood. We ask you to be on the lookout for any signs of hogweed and report it immediately so it can be removed.

Giant hogweed sap is very corrosive and even brushing against the plant can cause serious injury or skin problems. If you discover the plant, please do not touch it.

Giant hogweed can be identifi ed by its reddish-purple stem with fi ne spines, and its spotted leaf stalks. The plant can grow about 16ft (5m) high, has leaves up to 5ft (1.5m) wide, and has fl ower heads which can each produce about 50,000 seeds every year.

If you fi nd giant hogweed on your property, please contact the Invasive Species Council of Metro Vancouver at 604-880-8358.

To report any sightings on city property, please call Engineering Operations at 604-526-4691.

For more information on giant hogweed, including removal and disposal, please visit our website at www.newwestcity.ca

Robbery at knifepoint

A Surrey man has been charged in connection with a New Westminster robbery.

New West police say a business in the 1100 block of Royal Avenue was robbed at knifepoint on June 24 about 10:20 a.m. The suspect fled with some cash before police arrived. An investigation led to an arrest July 2.

Brent Michael Crane, 31, is charged with robbery, attempted theft of a vehicle under $5,000 and mischief to property under $5,000.

The NWPD said it is working with neighbouring departments to determine if the suspect has been involved in additional offences.

SkyTrain daredevil

A man was arrested Saturday evening for going on the SkyTrain track between New Westminster and Surrey. Transit Police issued an alert at 6:50 p.m. saying the system had to be shut down between the Scott Road and Columbia stations because of the incident. Riders on a stopped train on the SkyTrain bridge reported a man running past their windows.

Transit Police sent out a tweet about 7:30 p.m. saying a man was in custody.

When the Vagabond Players presented the comedy Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) in April, the cast liked each other so much they formed their own theatre troupe.

Appropriately, they call themselves the Alchemy Theatre Ensemble. And they’re preparing to bring summer theatre back to the Bernie Legge Theatre with their first production, William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Karryn Ransom, one of Alchemy’s founders, said the chemistry was undeniable. So with the blessing and support of the Vagabond Players, they set out to build a production from scratch.

“We’re like a little offshoot,” said Ransom of their nascent group.

Vagabond is letting the newcomers use the Bernie Legge as they haven’t put on a summer production in years. Going forward, the new troupe is hoping to put on more avant garde productions that are outside the incumbent’s usual oeuvre.

Alchemy’s decision to launch with

Twelfth Night is as much driven by their lack of funds as much as a way to ease into their new challenge with a beloved play. Shakespeare’s plays don’t come with royalty fees. But they’ve given the classic comedy a Downton Abbey twist, setting it in high society England during the First World War.

Ransom said the grueling nature of Goodnight Desdemona, a play that demands a lot of trust and

collaboration between its actors, was a good proving ground. If everyone could stay friends through that experience, they were confident they could continue to work together.

Much of that comes from mutual respect.

“We’re all so vastly different and we have respect for those differences,” said Ransom of the troupe, who come from diverse backgrounds. “Nobody makes you

feel weird.”Of course starting a theatre

company from scratch brings other challenges. When they’re not running lines or blocking scenes, the actors are building sets, sewing costumes, rigging lights.

“We know everybody has to pull together,” said Ransom. “Performing is almost the final thought.”

Director Matt Davenport, a veteran of many technical positions in community theatre but a rookie at reining a cast, said the time is right for a new troupe with adventurous aspirations to launch in New West.

“It’s a sign of momentum of the theatre market in the city,” said Davenport, who’s eyeing the new Anvil Centre as a possible home for future productions. “Performing arts are starting to gain momentum with younger audiences. People are realizing there’s another option than just always going to the movies.”

• Twelfth Night runs at the Bernie Legge Theatre Aug. 13-24 with performances at 8 p.m. Wednesday - Saturday and 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday. For tickets call 604-521-0412.

Nadine Nakagawa is unmasking New Westminster’s superheroes.

But she’s no Lex Luthor.Nakagawa is the

mastermind behind the Everyone Is a Superhero project, a blog that asks everyday people she encounters in her daily life in New West what unique quality they may have that makes them a superhero.

Her subjects then write their answer on a whiteboard and pose for a photo. Wearing a superhero cape.

Nakagawa started her superhero quest as a project

for her Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Royal Roads University in Victoria. But it’s turned into a portrait of community.

“People in New West are very community focused,”

said Nakagawa, who’s profiled 17 superheroes so far. “New West really has its own vibe.”

When Nakagawa set out to discover how people perform the identity they

have of themselves, she decided superheroes were the perfect metaphor.

“I wanted to know what makes people fantastic,” said Nakagawa. “It’s fun and superheroes are trendy.”

She sewed three capes and then started approaching people like community volunteers, neighbours, politicians and even her mom, who was the first superhero in her project.

Most are shy at first to boast much about their superhero attributes, said Nakagawa. But as soon as she produces her superhero kit, containing the three capes, a mask or two, and

the white board, their reluctance turns to smiles.

“They feel it’s a positive act,” said Nakagawa of her growing stable of city superheroes. “They feel proud.”

And while Nakagawa hopes she’ll ultimately get a good grade for her project, she hopes the community will take something from it as well.

“I hope it encourages people,” said Nakagawa. “It doesn’t take much to become a superhero.”

Denis Overholt’s prized possession is a Triumph TR6 he bought brand new in 1975.

He loves it. Especially in the summer when he takes the top off and hits the road.

“When we do get the nice weather there’s nothing better than cruising around with the top down,” said the New Westminster resident.

Neither is showing it off.In 2001 he entered it into the

second Royal City Show&Shine. He had so much fun he volunteered to help out the next year. And the year after that. And the year after that.

When this year’s version, the 15th annual, rolls around Sunday he’ll look up and down Columbia Street. What he’ll see is hordes of spectators, umpteen food trucks, tons of fun activities and scores of classic cars. And he’ll get goosebumps, just like he has the last few years.

“It’s pretty exhilarating, especially when you’re involved with it directly. It’s pretty great when you see the street load up with cars, and the spectators,”

says Overholt.In the late 1990s, the

Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association was looking for something to bring in people from outside of New Westminster that would help drive economic development in the Downtown. The BIA had an event called Street Scenes which entertained the locals, but the organization wanted more. So its promotions committee began to brainstorm.

“When the idea of the Show&Shine hit the table, we could envision its potential,” said Marise Kwasnicky, who was on the BIA board at the time. “Did I envision the event would bring in 80,000 to

100,000 spectators? Yes, we have been bringing in these numbers for a good many years now.”

BIA executive director Kendra Johnston says this year the organization expects to hit the one million mark in the total estimated spectators during the 15 Show&Shines.

She expects more than 300 cars in more than 20 classes to enter. For the second year, there will also be a bicycle show.

• The 15th annual Royal

City Show&Shine will be held on Columbia Street Sunday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information go to www.downtownnewwest.ca or www.facebook.com/KeyWestFordShowAndShine.

Ask the Pro Q: When I hit the ball into the trees yet it is still in-bounds, should I try and hit the Home Run shot and go for birdie or, should I attempt to punch out and try to save par or bogey? Answer: We always advise hitting a punch shot out of trouble. Watch video The punch shot: To hit a punch shot, grip down on the club, put the ball back in your stance and keep your weight on your front foot. This shot requires only a half swing so don’t be tempted to over-swing as this will inevitably create a back spin and make the ball fly higher when ideally we want to keep the ball close to the ground. To keep the ball low, we have to take the club back at a lower angle; the lower your finish, the lower the ball will fly. The hero shot: The hero shot usually creates far more trouble than it’s worth. You might get lucky, but, you’re more likely to end up with more frustration and higher scores. We hope to see you working on your game at our practice areas and Driving Ranges soon. Thanks for swinging by!

“New Westminster has its head in the sand.”

This comment is uttered often. And always in relation to traffic.

It’s said by people exasperated with how New West does its darndest to curb traffic, to make travelling through our city as unpalatable as possible. These folks live outside our 15-square-kilometres, and just want to get through our damned—their words, not mine—city.

And to them, the Bailey bridge is kind of the icing on the New West Nutcake.

What city clings to a one-lane bridge? Do they also plan to return to horse and carriage?

To many, yes, it’s hard to explain.

In the tiniest of nutshells, New West says the bridge has been a local access road for Braid Industrial Park businesses to get in and out. Nothing more.

Coquitlam says it’s an inter-city connector, which is why they’ve built the four-lane United Boulevard, which slams into the one-lane Bailey.

New West says increasing

traffic volume there will be a nightmare, as it’s an area with rail lines just steps away from the Braid-Brunette intersection, on which dozens of trains pass daily.

But now the one-lane connection will be no more. An arbitrator has ruled in Coquitlam’s favour; a two-lane span will be installed.

And now we’ll see who’s right. Will there be more snarls, as the Royal City predicts? Or will it mean smooth sailing?

Either way, Coquitlam and the cause of more cardiac-arresting traffic wins. If the area bungs up, it will renew calls for a massive United Boulevard Extension flyover-type interchange in the area.

Which guarantees more traffic volume in New West—what the

city’s been fighting against all along.

Taking a step back, the Battle of the Bailey highlights a bigger issue.

Progressive traffic planners will tell you that building more roads, and bigger roads only encourages greater volumes and, in short order, the new wider roads fill up.

It’s a futile cycle that we can’t seem to shake.

And it’s the most wasteful thing we could possibly do, in terms of money and resources. It creates more pollution, more congestion, more frustration.

Instead, we should do something like this—put a congestion charge on every bridge crossing the Fraser River during rush hour.

As soon as possible. Even just $1 or $2.

It won’t generate a ton of money. But what it will do is shift discretionary trips.

Congestion charges have been introduced, with great success, in many cities around the world.

Stockholm, Sweden launched its program in 2006. A city built

on islands, with many bridges, Stockholm has roughly the same population as Metro Vancouver.

Jonas Eliasson, one of the brains behind that city’s initiative, said if you want to encourage people to change their behaviour, you create incentives. And don’t worry about the details—people will figure it out.

“You shouldn’t try to tell people how to adapt,” he said in a 2012 TED Talk.

“You should just nudge them in the right direction.”

Immediately, on the first day tolls kicked in, rush hour traffic dropped 20 per cent.

Not much of a drop, perhaps, but it was permanent and the impact was enormous. Just a modest change in volume meant the difference between gridlock and flow.

And when Eliasson surveyed drivers, asking what they were doing different, the results were astonishing.

People had no clue. To their knowledge, they hadn’t changed their behaviour at all.

Bailey, and the future of city traffic

Please see TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS, A7

Summer strike

School’s out and British Columbia’s teachers are still on strike.

Or are they?Drive past any of the province’s

more than 1,600 public schools and the picketing teachers who waved at passing motorists, eliciting horns of support or scorn, are absent. Their signs pleading for better education for their students with smaller classrooms and better class composition are packed away.

For all intents and purposes, it looks like another routine summer holiday season around BC’s schools.

And yet it’s not.The acrimonious dispute that

put the teachers on the street, and kids’ education on hold, continues.

But there are no longer pickets to remind us that the strike is still on.

That may be a missed opportunity for the teachers’ union to score a point in the battle for public support in this dispute.

Continuing to picket the province’s schools through the summer, even in a skeleton fashion, would have been a constant reminder of what this dispute is about. Teachers could have shown their commitment to the cause they say they’re fighting for by continuing that fight even when they’re normally on holiday.

And maintaining pickets through the summer would have increased the pressure on the government to reach an agreement, as CUPE workers had pledged to honour teachers’ picket lines meaning routine summer maintenance, repairs and paperwork wouldn’t get done.

The provincial government is relying on public perception that teachers are already well paid and get to enjoy two months off every year to win support for its position.

Seeing pickets march in the hot summer sun might have won fans for the teachers.


COMMENTI’m proud to call myself a

public school teacher. Public schools educate

everyone who enrolls, regardless of their economic background. But due to the cumulative cutbacks, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide a good education to every student.

Ever since 2002 when Christy Clark, then Minister of Education, introduced Bills 27 and 28, there have been no caps on students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs) per class. In the school where I teach, one class had seven students with IEPs.

It pains me to see the huge negative impact the ongoing underfunding is having on students enrolled in public schools. The educational, behavioral and social needs present in every class is immense.

It’s time for the province to adequately fund the public

school system. Unfortunately, it appears the Liberal government is more interested in diverting funds the public schools so desperately need into the coffers of private schools.

The late 1970s marked the first time the provincial government began using public dollars to fund the private school system. Since then, the amount of public tax dollars allocated to the private school system has increased steadily. Between the 2005-2006 and 2010-2011 school years, funding to public schools increased only 13 per cent while funding to private schools increased 34 per cent in the same time frame.

In the 2010-2011 school year, the province spent $249 million dollars on private schools.

In 2010-2011, $249 million dollars went to various private schools where pupils can be screened for academic ability, special needs, and parental economic status. Many of these

schools are able to guarantee small class sizes and a cap on students with special needs in each class, all with financial help from the taxpayers of British Columbia.

Why is public money being allocated to private schools to give students a better learning environment than is present in many public schools?

The major sticking point in the contract talks between the BCTF and BCPSEA is class size and composition limits. But the BCTF has been told time and again by Peter Fassbender that this is not within the “Affordability Zone.”

The Liberals must find the funds to reinstate class size and composition clauses.

It is time to stop funding private schools with public tax dollars. It is time for public money to be invested into the public education system.

Christina PookNew Westminster

Let’s invest in public schools

Those who needed to cross the bridge during rush hour still did. But those with no urgent need to travel at that time altered their trips accordingly. Without even consciously thinking about it.

So what are we waiting for?If we had introduced a

congestion charge 10 years ago, we wouldn’t have needed a new $3.5-billion, 10-lane Port Mann Bridge. Volume would have dropped such that a new bridge would not have been required.

Instead we’d have a small charge during rush hour, rather than a larger one 24 hours a day.

Want proof a congestion

charge works? Witness how much lighter

traffic is on the Port Mann today.

It’s true, many have switched to the Pattullo as a toll-free alternative. But I’d argue that people making discretionary trips are avoiding the Port Mann during rush hour. Not due to traffic concerns, but because of the toll.

So how does this relate to the Bailey bridge?

After all, it’s not a Fraser River crossing, but between two otherwise land-linked cities.

I’m not saying to toll the Bailey (though who knows, maybe that would help).

But the Bailey is linked to

something bigger.This conflict between New

Westminster and Coquitlam is not just about a little bridge, but about how we want to deal with traffic. And how we want our cities to evolve.

So yes, if you assume the answer to congestion is more, bigger roads, New West sounds a bit crazy to cling to a one-lane span.

But when you look at it from the perspective of “nudging” human behaviour, so we save money, have cleaner air and maybe, live without so much traffic-jammed frustration…

Well, in that case, New West’s brilliant.

Two different views on traffic⫸ continued from PAGE A6

In reference to raising speed limits, Transportation Minister Todd Stone should get with reality. Does he think higher speed limits won’t cause more serious crashes? Check semi-truck rollovers in the city never mind elsewhere.

Come and check out Stewardson Way eastbound off the Queensborough with cars and big rigs going 80 kilometres an hour plus in a 50 km/h zone.

I live on River Drive below Stewardson Way literally a fiasco getting in and out of here. The police should be out here 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. to catch westbound semis from 12th Street and Columbia Street drag racing. There is no room for passing over the centre line forcing eastbound vehicles to stop.

The New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies will begin their pursuit of the Minto Cup at Queen’s Park Arena on Wednesday.

The ’Bellies completed the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League regular season by stomping the visiting Victoria Shamrocks 14-6 Sunday. New West finished in first at 20-1-0 and will face the fourth-place Delta Islanders (12-9-0), the only team to beat the Salmonbellies, in a best-of-five league semifinal.

Game 1 will be Wednesday, 8 p.m. with the second game in Delta on Saturday. Game 3 will be back in New West Tuesday (8 p.m.) with Game 4, if necessary, in Delta on Saturday, July 19 and Game 5 at Queen’s Park the next night.

Josh Byrne fired three goals and assisted on two others Sunday. Connor Robinson had five assists. Robinson won the league scoring title with 104 points, 22 more than teammate Johnny Pearson. Byrne was fifth with 79 points in 12 games. He had a league-leading average of 6.58 points per game.

Adam Dickson also scored three goals Sunday. Luke Gillespie and Chris Nasato had two apiece with singles going to Anthony Malcom, Tyrell Hamer-Jackson, Nathan Stewart and Pearson.

The Salmonbellies clinched first place by downing the second-place

Coquitlam Adanacs 7-5 Wednesday. The A’s ended their season at 17-3-1 with all three losses coming at the hands of New West.

Gillespie and Malcom scored twice. Pearson and Brett Dobray got the others.

Senior squad beats LakersMaybe the Sr. Salmonbellies

should consider playing out of Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena. For

the second consecutive Friday, the Salmonbellies went to Copeland and came away with a victory which accounts for half of their wins this

season (4-8-0).The ’Bellies beat the Burnaby

Lakers 11-9 Friday thanks to Cliff Smith and Keegan Bal. Smith had an eight-point night, including three goals while Bal scored four times and assisted on two. Jordan McBridge, Tyler Crompton, Sean Robinson and Matt MacKenzie also scored for New West.

The win came a night after the Salmonbellies gave up the game’s final five goals in a 9-6 loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs at Queen’s Park Arena. McBride scored twice while singles went to Robinson, Smith, Bal and Richard Lachlan.

New West is four points out of a playoff spot. They will play last-place Nanaimo Timbermen (3-8-1) at Queen’s Park on Thursday (7 p.m.).

As women age, some may feel exercise is simply too risky. Hormonal changes brought on by aging decrease bone density, and that fact makes many women over 50 hesitant to embrace exercise. But exercise plays a key role in

helping secure long-term health and reduce risk of injury.

Exercise, in particular strength training, slows bone deterioration, helping bones stay stronger longer and reducing a woman’s risk of suffering a potentially

debilitating injury. Some women who

are fighting fatigue may feel that routine exercise will only make them more tired. But exercise actually improves energy levels and makes it easier to get a better night’s rest. Numerous studies have

shown that routine exercise can improve sleep quality and even increase energy levels throughout the day.

Women over 50 with limited mobility may feel that exercise serves no purpose because of their disability or physical condition. But even women confined to wheelchairs or those forced to walk with a cane or walker benefit from cardiovascular exercise and even light strength training.

Many feel their time to embrace exercise has passed. But it’s never too late to start. Women should take a conservative approach when exercising after a long hiatus, beginning with a slow walk around the neighborhood or a local park. Walking is a great beginner’s exercise.

Q : My two brothers and I are trying to wind up my dad’s estate. It has been dreadful. Dad’s Will is

complicated,with investments that we’ll have to wait at least a year to clear up. We’re able to disburse my late sister’s portion to her estate, and his girlfriend and the grandchildren all got paid out their entitled inheritance. So now it comes down to us three children.

We finally agreed to get an appraiser for anything that seemed valuable. Now we’re at odds over the personal and sentimental items from my dad and late mother. There’ve been many heated conversations.

Even selling his old car became a battle when I took an offer $500 under the asking price. I feel like this will never end. It is exhausting. To complicate things more my brothers don’t feel our late sister’s children are entitled to anything other than specified in the Will.

If I’ve learned anything from this experience, it’s to make sure your parents or the seniors you are responsible for make a distribution list of their valuables or sentimental stuff before they can no longer speak for themselves.

Sincerely,Frustrated

In a state about the estate

Eve Silverman

Dear Frustrated.Inheritance feuds can be an expensive, time-

consuming and plain ugly. The executor has the final responsibility to follow the Will’s instructions, but can also follow any designated list of items that the deceased did not include in the Last Will.

Of course if you three are the executors, you are back to square one on how to fairly divide the possessions. Those things appraised should be easier

to divide based on value, but obviously more difficult if the siblings want specific pieces.

We all want to be thought of well after we’re gone.

Whatever you leave your heirs should be

a good memory of you and your considerations.

You don’t want their memories of you to be the huge hassle of dividing your estate.

one’s independence. Find her at www.age-rite.com or call 604-377-0710.

A s the population demographics and our society’s needs dictate, so are more and more seniors finding and enjoying

the remarkable benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic is one of the most scientifically researched and reviewed health professions, and perhaps it is the leading health profession when it comes to health benefits, with the least adverse side effects.

Chiropractic, now more than ever before, is part of a healthy lifestyle for many seniors who want to increase quality of life by adding not just years to life but “more life to years.”

As a growing body of academic research builds, extolling the health benefits of chiropractic care for seniors, this only serves as a backdrop to the outstanding results that individual patients are seeing under chiropractic care.

One such study looked at a large group of seniors over the age of 65 under chiropractic care, who had been maintaining their spine healthy for five years or longer. When comparing these seniors to others not getting chiropractic, some remarkable major health differences appeared.

For example, the chiropractic seniors saw their medical doctor only half as often and they took nearly 70 per cent fewer drugs. That’s less than a third!

And a whopping 96 per cent of the chiropractic patients believed their care to be either “considerably” or “extremely” valuable to their well-being.

Another study looked at a large group of seniors over the age of 75 under chiropractic wellness care over a period of time.

Comparing them to the averages for people their age, the chiropractic seniors showed some impressive advantages.

Eighty-seven per cent were much more likely to rank their health status as good to excellent.

Chiropractic patients reported fewer health problems, less illness, less arthritis symptoms and used significantly less medication.

They were more likely to exercise regularly and were much more active in their communities.

Isn’t that what’s it all about at this stage? It’s all about quality of life. The seniors under chiropractic care were also

less likely to be hospitalized or to end up in nursing homes.

Seniors looking for effective strategies to manage or prevent arthritis, and live pain free are finding a solution in chiropractic care.

Safe, natural and clinically effective chiropractic care is a big part of many seniors’ healthcare because it serves so many vital roles—to naturally help keep seniors pain free, mobile, functional, active and independent.

As we get older, does it make more sense to just try to add the years to our life, or should we also choose to add more life to our years?
