Draft area plan heading to council

PHOTO BY CHUNG CHOW

Delta police officers Cst. Kevin Usipiuk (left) and Cst. Ken Dueck sat high above the action at Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall last Saturday. The two officerswere raising funds for this year’s Cops for Cancer’s Tour de Valley ride and remained on their perch until 4:30 p.m. the next day.

The Tsawwassen Area Plan is now in thehands of council.

On Monday the civic politicians will discussthe proposed plan, which had been finalizedby the Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee lastweek.

The committee had been meeting for over ayear to update the current plan, which hasn’tbeen updated since 1992.

Community planning director Tom Leathemsaid council will discuss the committee’sreport and an accompanying staff report.

“The next step after that is to draft thebylaw and introduce it for first and secondreading and our current thinking, but it won’tbe clear until after Monday night, is that webring that back for the meeting on September

13th,” explained Leathem.“Then we’ll have to do a whole bunch of

referrals to various agencies to comment onit prior to a public hearing... we don’t have apublic hearing date set yet but we’re hopingsome time in October,” he said.

Council can make refinements to the planon Monday if it wants, Leathem noted, as wellas after the public hearing based on the inputreceived. Leathem said if any changes madeby council following the public hearing arerelatively small then another public hearingwould likely not be necessary.

The most contentious issue for the area plancommittee, and now for council, is the futureof the Southlands property.

The majority of the committee voted infavour of maintaining the current agriculturaldesignation, but some members noted thatdoesn’t mean a development proposal can’t be

submitted for consideration.Another area of the plan, which turned out

to be somewhat contentious, is the buildingheight limit in the town centre. The committeevoted in favour of maintaining the four-storeylimit, however, the members also wanted itnoted they had previously agreed to recom-mend increasing the limit to six storeys but themajority of respondents to a municipal mail-out survey didn’t want the increase.

Coun. Bruce McDonald, who chaired thecommittee, told the group at their meeting lastweek that council will review that provisionof the proposed plan, along with everythingelse in the document, and may end up makingchanges after debate.

Other proposed changes in the area planinclude the creation of townhouse designatedareas and allowing infill development in somesingle family areas.

On top of the world! Delta mandrownsin fishingincident

A Delta man died this weekafter he fell into the Fraser Riverwhile fishing in Chilliwack.

Chilliwack RCMP said atabout 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday a33-year-old sport fisherman fromDelta fell into the river at a popu-lar access point just off of OldOrchard Road.

The man was fishing with afriend when he slipped from therocks on which he was standingand fell into the water.

The friend jumped into theriver to try and help but had to bepulled from the water himself bya nearby boater.

A police helicopter, ChilliwackSearch and Rescue, police andnumerous fishermen searched theriver for several hours Tuesdayevening but were unable to locatethe man.

The search was called off atdusk but continued the next day.

On Thursday, ChilliwackRCMP announced that the bodyof Randy Garrecht of North Deltahad been recovered from the rivernear Mission.

“This is a tragic reminder to besafe when on, or near, the water,”said RCMP spokesperson Lea-Anne Dunlop.

“Life jackets should be worn atall times when on a boat or stand-ing on the rivers edge near deepor swift water.”

Garrecht was just one of sever-al fishermen to have fallen in theFraser in recent weeks as recordnumbers of sockeye salmon havedrawn hundreds of anglers to theriver’s shores.

Candidates tackle some of the issuesWith just three weeks left in the campaign, candidates are out pounding the pavement and talking to voters

They only have three weeks left to winover voters.

The eight candidates vying for the vacantDelta council seat in the Sept. 18 by-elec-tion are on the campaign trail with a fewhaving put up signs around Delta.

Peter Harms, Maria DeVries, AmyGhuman Sara, Ian Paton, Sylvia Bishop,Sandeep Pandher, Ray Robinson andKathleen Higgins are vying for the seatleft vacant by the sudden death of GeorgeHawksworth this spring.

Probably the biggest and most divisiveissue, particularly in Tsawwassen, is thefuture of the Southlands property.

Other big issues include saving farm-land, the South Fraser Perimeter Road andhow the regional district’s proposed solidwaste plan could change the future of theVancouver Landfill.

There are also other issues residents areconveying to the candidates.

Higgins told the Optimist the lack ofaffordable housing is a big concern peopleare talking about and her platform hassome ideas to address the issue.

She said existing residential lands can beredeveloped in ways that would allow moreyoung families to own their own home.

“A lot of young people and a lot of olderpeople who have grown children wouldlike to be able to afford a home but theredoesn’t seem to be anything in Delta rightnow,” she said.

After hearing from residents, Higginsbelieves dredging Ladner Harbour, the pos-sibility of a ferry connecting Ladner withRichmond, and promoting both eco-tourismand shopping in Delta are other subjectsthat should have a greater emphasis for

council.As he began his campaigning last week

Harms, a Tsawwassen businessman, saidpeople he hasn’t spoken to in a while havebeen calling him, or meeting him on thestreet, saying they’re pleased he entered therace and offering encouragement.

“One lady who was a client called meand enlightened me about so many otherissues. There are long-term residents here,there are elderly people. What I have heardis that elderly people here are very muchin support of young families. If we don’thave young people in the future this isgoing to be a ghost town,the population is alreadydeclining,” he said.

Ray Robinson, whodoesn’t plan to put up anycampaign signs, wantsto get the word out ona plethora of issues andideas, including internal audits on munici-pal government spending and bringing inmore private sector involvement for proj-ects.

In an interview last week, Robinson saidhe’s bringing forward issues people aretalking about, including the lack of a post-secondary school in Delta.

Maria DeVries said a big concern she’sheard is taxation.

“People are concerned about taxes andthe future well-being of their children. Thisis especially true for people on a fixedincome. They are worried about the risingcost of living and increased taxes. Peoplewant our local government to act fiscallyresponsible,” DeVries told the Optimist thisweek.

Ian Paton, just after he was interviewedby the union representing Delta firefightersMonday, told the Optimist it hasn’t been

easy campaigning while working, includinghis annual 4H auctioneering duties at thePNE, but he has talked to enough people tounderstand taxation is a major concern.

“People want to know their taxes willhopefully stay the same for a few years. Myanswer to that is we have to have some verysmart, classy housing development, some-thing that will look very good 25 yearsfrom now,” he said.

Delta has many positives but the tax basemust be sufficient to be able to pay forthose attributes in the future, said Paton.

Affordable housing is another hugeissue, as well as rede-veloping Scott Road, headded.

In an interview thisweek, Sylvia Bishop saidmany people in NorthDelta have expressedconcerns about traffic

volumes in their neighbourhoods. In Ladnerand Tsawwassen, she said, people arequestioning how future development at theTsawwassen First Nation will impact theirneighbourhoods.

“Then, of course, people are still con-templating what the by-election is all aboutand what it means. A lot of people are noteven aware there is a by-election happen-ing but that’s changing after the signs havegone up,” she said.

Sandeep Pandher, who unveiled his plat-form of core values and strategies at anall candidates’ debate Tuesday at the DeltaTown and Country Inn, told the Optimistit’s clear there’s a lack of a coherent visionfor Delta as a whole.

“How do we visualize the community tobe in 15, 20, 50 years from now? There hasto be a vision for us together, and of coursethere’s this big divide between north and

south (Delta) given the way we are geo-graphically.

“Nevertheless, we have a lot of common-alities we share in terms of the tax base andservices,” he said.

Pandher noted some of the issues hewants addressed include affordable hous-ing for seniors, better equipping police andfire responders, investing more in arts andsports related initiatives for schools, andprotecting Burns Bog as well as building aninterpretative centre for the bog.

Amy Ghuman Sara said people she hasspoken to tell her that, politically, the coun-cil has no unity. From the actions of thecouncil candidates, so far, there’s also beena lack of professionalism, she said.

“For example, signs are being disrespect-ed of fellow candidates. That’s not howyou run a campaign in my book, however itseems to be for other candidates.

“If these candidates don’t respect fellowcandidates’ signs right now, what will theydo in office if they should happen to getin?” she asked.

Ghuman Sara noted Delta being splitinto three distinct communities has createdproblems including a cultural disconnect.

The issues in each community shouldbe considered overall, including theSouthlands, she said.

Ghuman Sara, Bishop and DeVries saidquality of life is a major concern people aretalking about.

Municipal by-elections have a historyof low voter turnouts, so the eight candi-dates have their work cut out for them. Thelast by-election for a Delta council seatoccurred in 1987.

The voters list that year had over 44,500names, but Doug Husband needed only4,600 (54 per cent of the vote) to win thevacant seat.

August 28, 2010 The Delta Optimist A03

The owner of a prop-erty adjacent to Burns Bogwants to set the recordstraight about his develop-ment proposal.

Bobby Pawar, owner andpresident of Earth KingInvestments, has been try-ing to get his applicationback on track after Deltacouncil agreed with a staffrecommendation a coupleof months ago to return hisproposal to develop twoparcels at 10555-64th Ave.,near the interchange withHighway 91. The reasongiven was the site is withinMetro Vancouver’s GreenZone and the regionaldistrict still hasn’t com-pleted updating its LivableRegional Plan.

Pawar told the Optimisthe wanted to clarify hisplans and was given anopportunity to do so at arecent workshop with coun-cillors.

Pawar said his applica-tion is to build a seniors’assisted living complex, nota mixed industrial/commer-cial business park.

“The thing that’s beenmost convoluted for thegeneral public is we weren’tactually applying for anindustrial zone property.Ours is actually a seniorsfacility and it’s one of our

biggest bones of conten-tion.”

Comprising 15 acres (sixhectares), the parcels arezoned agricultural but werepulled from the AgriculturalLand Reserve about 20years ago.

When the applicationfor an official communityplan amendment by EarthKing Investments was madelast year, community plan-ning director Tom Leathemtold councilthere wouldlikely be “afair bit” ofpublic inter-est, due inpart to itsproximity toBurns Bog.

“I’ve livedhere (NorthDelta) mostof my lifeand I can tell you we had anagrologist’s report. I’ll stickto the professional opinionwhich was presented thatyou can’t grow anything onthat property. It’s the worstlevel for soil-based farming.It’s never been farmed,” saidPawar.

“When we firstapproached the corporation(of Delta), the idea was,‘Look, we want somethingthat’s feasible here, some-thing that’s going to createjobs and good tax revenues.’There’s only weeds on

there. We’re proposing hun-dreds of trees. It does notaffect the bog in any way.”

A staff report for therecent workshop noted theapplication in April 2009was for an industrial/busi-ness park. Last Septembera public information meet-ing was held across thestreet from the property atthe Sunshine Woods GolfCentre. Approximately 80people attended “with the

majority inopposition tothe proposal.”Numerousletters and apetition wasalso submit-ted to coun-cil, accordingto the report.Delta’s envi-ronmentadvisory

committee also expressedconcerns.

The report notes thatsince that time, staff metwith the applicant on sev-eral occasions to discussother land use options,including an assisted liv-ing complex. It would stillrequire approvals to amendDelta’s OCP, zoning bylawand Metro Vancouver’splan.

Pawar said the idea of abusiness park was removedmore than eight monthsago, in favour of a seniors’

complex that would providevarious levels of care. It’ssomething much needed inDelta, he said.

Pawar said most residentsaren’t aware of his proposalor have all the facts.

“It’s more hazardous tohave that property the wayit is now as opposed toactually growing somethingon it, which we would beputting a lot of landscapingand trees on there.

“In the OCP it calls fora 10-acre or larger piece ofproperty for a seniors facil-ity. There’s no 10-acre pieceanywhere in Delta that’sready to go for a seniorsfacility.”

In addition to the seniorsarea, they’re also proposinga learning centre, workingwith a post secondary insti-tute such as UBC, on healthand mental aging, he added.

Delta planner MarcySangret said council hadsome questions regardingthe revised application.Another workshop is sched-uled for Aug. 30 at munici-pal hall. It’s open to thepublic to observe.

On the Earth KingInvestments Ltd. website,the firm states it’s a prop-erty development, propertymanagement and propertyconsulting service special-izing in land acquisitionsand joint ventures with bothsmall and large investors.

The Fraser River wasfilled with gillnetters thisweek as commercial fisher-men from around the LowerMainland took advantage ofthe largest sockeye salmonreturn in almost 100 years.

An estimated 25 millionsockeye are expected toswim upriver this year – thelargest return on recordsince 1913 – and commer-cial fishermen who havewatched their livelihoodsshrink to almost nothingafter a three year mora-torium on Fraser sockeyeover the last three yearswere givena 32-hourfishery onWednesdayandThursday.

It’s notall goodnews, how-ever, Delta-RichmondEast MPJohn Cummins, a formercommercial fisherman, wascritical this week of how thefishery is being handled.

“Four years of mandated

inactivity has seriouslyreduced the capacity ofthe fish processing indus-try, severely restrictingits ability to gear-up forwhat has become the larg-est salmon return on theFraser River since Hell’sGate,” Cummins said onWednesday.

Fishermen reported ashortage of the ice requiredto assure the quality oftheir catch. Cummins saidat least one processorwas trucking ice in fromPrince Rupert, while oth-ers brought ice in fromBellingham.

“Cold storage facilitiesare at or near capacity,” he

said.“Fishermen

complainthat the lackof space atcold storagefacilities hasled to fewerbuyers pre-pared to be onthe water forWednesday’s

opening on the FraserRiver.”

Calling the situation a“fiasco,” Cummins sug-gested that more prudent

management of the fisheryis needed.

“In the old days when theInternational Committeewas in charge there wouldhave been weekly fisheriesall summer and the grow-ing size of the return wouldhave been evident to all,” hesaid. “The companies wouldhave had time to gear-upfor the peak of the return,have their workers in place,sufficient quantities of iceon hand, collector boats andcrews ready.”

Instead, he said, theindustry was left sitting onthe sidelines wondering ifthe Department of Fisheriesand Oceans would allowany openings this season.

“Given the shortage ofice and the strained capac-ity of the processing indus-try, three 12-hour fisheriesover several days wouldhave been more prudentand may have allowed for amore orderly fishery.”

Cummins said the DFO’s“missteps in the manage-ment of this year’s fishery”should be included in thescope of the Cohen inquiry,something else he has beencritical of in recent months.

Last year, the federalgovernment announced ajudicial inquiry lookinginto the disappearance ofmillions of sockeye salmonfrom the Fraser River fish-ery. Retired Justice BruceCohen was appointed tohead up the investigation.Recently, Cummins hascalled for the removal ofseveral people appointed towork on the inquiry, say-ing that there are too manywho have connections tothe DFO.

“... the department ispulling the strings onCohen’s puppet show,”Cummins said this week.

A local man is not givingup hope as he continues tosearch for his lost dog.

On June 11, Norm Greenwas driving from Ladnerto Princeton for a PointingDog Field Trial.

He had Dolly, a five-year-old German shorthairpointer, in a kennel in theback of his truck. At somepoint during the drive,Dolly managed to escapefrom the kennel and thetruck.

Green said Dolly is out-fitted with a microchip aswell as a collar with hername and his phone num-ber.

Once he realized thedog was missing, Greenreturned home to Ladner

just in case someone foundDolly and called.

On June 12, Green said,he got a call from someonewho knew his dog had gonemissing who told him thathe had seen Dolly nearthe east end of ManningPark traveling east alongHighway 3.

Green searched the area,posting notices and talkingto campers and others in thearea, for three days going asfar east as Princeton.

“All in vain as no onehad seen her,” he said.

Green thinks Dolly haseither died or been pickedup and kept by someone,

and for now he’s choosingto remain optimistic andcontinue the search.

“I have trained her forfield trails and hunting andwould surely like to haveher returned to me,” hesaid.

Dolly is a medium sizeddog. She is white witha brown head. She hasa brown spot about fourinches in diameter on herback in front of her tail andanother large brown spot onher right shoulder that runsdown to her leg. Dolly alsohas smaller brown spotssprinkled throughout herbody.

Her tail has been dockedto about five inches onlength.

Green is asking anyonewho may have seen Dolly tocall him at 604-940-3394.

Shyenne’ssurprisingtrek

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

She’s gentle. She’s loyal. She’s also afinely tuned eating machine. What sheisn’t is overly intelligent. After recentevents, however, we’ve been forced toreconsider.

When we were looking at Shyenne,the seven-year-old black Lab mix we gotfrom the shelter in Whistler almost sixyears ago, she was billed as part bordercollie. It was apparent she wasn’t pure-bred, so being moderately undersized fora Lab and sporting some white markings,the guess was there was some border col-lie in her lineage, a breed known to besmart and energetic.

It didn’t take long to figure out thosetwo words weren’t an accurate descrip-tion of the big gal who cried every min-ute of the two-hour van ride home toLadner.

She loves her food, which is the Labpart of her, but she has absolutely nointerest in herding, unless you’re carryinga grocery bag she thinks might contain atreat. Needless to say we’ve loved her forwho she is, not the least bit concerned bythe fact she thinks the reflection of theTV in the window is someone lurkingoutside.

Last month when the men were awaygolfing, my wife came home to findthe dog missing from the house we hadmoved into three months earlier. Thecontractors had left the back door openand, likely spooked by the sound of a nailgun, Shyenne had managed to get underthe fence to freedom.

My wife was in a panic, spending thenext hour-and-a-half screaming the dog’sname as she drove through the streets ofLadner, hoping for the best but fearingthe worst. Then came a call from ourrealtor with, at least for us, some bafflingnews. She said Shyenne was at the doorof our old house.

Now, this is a dog that can’t find mywife when she hides under the covers,and you’re telling me she’s going to navi-gate through the maze of streets to makethe nine-block trek to our old place, atrip she had made only a couple of timesmonths earlier? Well, she did.

She didn’t stay once she figured outwe weren’t there, but my wife arrived intime to find Shy up the block lying underthe shade of a boulevard tree, apparentlyplotting her next move as she attemptedto track us down.

After that nerve-racking experience,which I was totally unaware was takingplace, I have to say we look at the dogin a new light these days. Behind thosetrusting brown eyes and graying muzzlethere is, it seems, more going on that wehad ever realized.

It might not be border collie, but she’sconvinced us there’s something in there.

The Tsawwassen Area Planreport is on its way to Delta coun-cil. After a year and a half, tworounds of public forums, a mailin survey sent to every householdin Tsawwassen, and many, manymeetings, a nine page report on itsmain findings and recommenda-tions will be debated very shortly.This process is designed to lead toa public hearing this fall. Surprise– there is more in the report thanjust Southlands – much more.

Readers in Ladner may havebecome quite bored with the focuson the Tsawwassen Area Plan.They need to be reminded: “Youare next to get a new area plan.”

The Tsawwassen Area Plan isdeceptively similar and yet dif-ferent from the 1992 plan – all at

the same time. One of the majordifferences is that the new areaplan recommends a significantincrease in housing all within theexisting land currently occupiedby housing. This will not be goodnews for the Southland advocates– that land is not needed for hous-ing. A 50 per cent increase in thepopulation can be accommodatedwithin the existing built-up area.Coupled with what may takeplace on Tsawwassen First Nationlands, this new plan will allow ourcommunity’s population to almostdouble should we wish it to do so!

You ask: “How can this be?” Inthe early days, Tsawwassen was aresidential community where allhomes needed a septic tank field.Thus most lots were about 1/5 or1/4 acre in size, meaning 8,000to 11,000 square feet. Today, a lothalf that size is considered to bequite adequate by most. So manylots might to broken into two lotsand still be residential. Secondly,there is need and desire to increasethe density around the town centre.That means that some areas whichtoday are single family homes willevolve into townhouses (row hous-

es) or into apartment buildings.That will occur with the replace-ment of aging houses which inmany cases are 50-plus years old.Third, the plan calls for allowingtownhouses along major transpor-tation routes such as 56th and 12th.Fourth, infill housing, not nowallowed, will be allowed on a caseby case basis where lots are largeenough.

Lastly, secondary suites wereapproved by council recently forall of Delta. Taking all of thistogether and you could, over a fewdecades, find the population withinTsawwassen increase by as muchas 50 per cent!

While this is going on, there willlikely be stricter control on build-ing form and size in Boundary Bayand in Beach Grove. This will pre-vent larger sized houses dominat-ing the community.

So what do you think? These areideas, suggestions and recommen-dations going to council. If theythink the plan has merit, you willbe given a chance to say what youthink at meetings and a hearing. Beready – this will be the theme ofthe fall after the by-election.

Letters to the Editor

Sorry to see big by-election signsEditor:

I’m sorry to see the bigby-election signs going upon the roadways. I don’tthink they earn any votes,but if one candidate hassigns, they all need to havethem to be taken seriously.

They are expensive. It’sbad for democracy when a

low-budget campaign can-not succeed.

This is a special problemin local elections wherefundraising is poorly regu-lated. In both federal andprovincial elections there’sa tax credit of $75 for thefirst $100 of a donation.This encourages lots of

small donations. The pro-vincial government has notseen fit to put in a similarsystem at the local level. Inlocal elections an individualwho donates pays the wholeshot, while a corporationcan probably treat the dona-tion as an expense. Thisarrangement makes me

queasy, and I’m not alone.Local councils don’t have

a lot of control over howcampaigns are financed,but they do control whetherbig, expensive signs areallowed on public land, sothey could prevent that oneexpenditure.

Gail Neff Bell

Editor:Just wondering if any-

one has come up with theidea of shipping our wasteback to the source (one ofthem), the coal mines in theKootenays.

We have the infrastruc-

ture almost already in placewith the empty coal trainsheading up there every day.Why not load a few carswith garbage on their returntrip, and fill up some ofthe hole already there andwaiting.

Coal is apparently verygood at filtering water aswell, so the water table upthere should be fairly safefrom toxins in the waste.

I know it would cost alittle more for CanadianPacific to lug the extra

weight back up there, butmaybe Delta could ask forthis in compensation forall the years of having toput up with Vancouver’sgarbage and super port dustand truck traffic.

Editor:Re: Information lives in

perpetuity once posted tothe Internet, CommunityComment, Aug. 21

It is amazing what onelearns from reading yourstandard. For instance, Iwas unaware that “straight

people have gay children allthe time.” Now, that’s reallyamazing. The writer of thecolumn to which I referstated, “In actuality,” whichmeans fact and as a fact isnot a theory, it must be so.As an septuagenarian whoattended school in several

Canadian provinces, I hadno idea such was a fact.

In another paragraph,your columnist wrote,“Posts like this, on a socialnetworking site that anyonecan access, reinforce thisbelief.” Hmm. I suggestthat the columnist is posing

perception rather than fact.Moreover, “that anyone canaccess” is a bit of a stretch.For example, none of mypre-school great-grandchil-dren are capable of access-ing the site. Again, a bit ofa stretch.

bang with which he couldre-enter politics, than a winin the HST referendum.

Ladner 4808 Delta Street • 604-940-2882Tsawwassen 1517 56 Street • 604-948-1700

It’s time to get backto reminiscing about thelong-gone establishmentson the west side of DeltaStreet that constituted thewhole business section ofDelta Municipality at thattime. We had reached theoffice of Harry NelsonRich, the Englishman whocame up from Oregon to aposition with Brachman-Ker Milling and went onto leave his mark as GrandMaster of the MasonicOrder of British Columbia.He joined a Masonic lodgein New Westminster beforethe lodge in Delta wasestablished. He was joinedafter the Second World Warby his son in law EdwardR. Bell, who inherited thebusiness in addition tobecoming secretary of DeltaSchool Board.

Moving south, the nextlittle business was that ofPercival W. Lord, whoseprincipal occupation Iremember was being aagent for British ColumbiaElectric Railway. The Lordslived in the little cottage

on Georgia Street besideone of the oldest homesin Delta, built by ThomasMcNeely for one of hisemployees and now ownedby Ken Atkey.

Back on Delta Streetbeside the P. W. Lord officewas a big building wheremuch history originated. Iremember it as McCurdy’sGrocery Store, a two-sto-rey building that becamethe business and home ofJack Bowling who openedBowling Plumbing andHeating.

Next to the Bowlingestablishment was the littlecafé owned by Alex Mowat,an early member of theKinsmen Club of Ladner.

On the corner of Deltaand Trenant streets was thetwo-storey building thatserved several businesses.I believe it was where JohnReagh sold shoes until thebuilding was purchasedby the Canadian Bank ofCommerce that had openedan office in 1917 in theblock to the south.

There is plenty of his-tory to be told about thatbuilding. Walter FlemingGranger was the manager.His hair was a bright redand my mother, secondpublisher of the Optimist,would introduce him asWalter Flaming Granger.

He didn’t like it but heendured her levity.

The two-storey buildingat the corner of Garry andDelta streets only coveredabout one quarter of theproperty. The rest grewweeds and shrubs until thebank manager offered itto our family as a place togrow vegetables. We hadmoved from the corner nearthe W. H. Ladner home,now covered by Kin House,to a two storey buildingadjoining the present dayMasonic Hall and lawoffice that offered littlespace for gardening.

The bank was theCanadian Bank ofCommerce until the“Imperial” was addedby the purchase of theCanadian Imperial Bank.Jack Locke was the bank’saccountant in the new loca-tion and occupied sleepingquarters in the building.

When I became activein The Optimist in theearly ‘30s in the beginningof the Great DepressionI remember my first visitwith Walter Granger inhis office. Lying promi-nently on his desk was abig revolver. Was it there toimpress me, dissuade me ofany improper action or justa symbol of his authority.The bank was never held up.

In an increasingly urban-ized world, it is easy toforget that agriculturalactivities can be an impor-tant component of the urbanfabric. Too often we segre-gate the concepts of foodproduction, regarded asrural, from urban functionslike housing, schools, andwork. However in a sus-tainable community, main-taining the means of foodproduction close to wherepeople live is as importantas providing housing.

Sustainable urban agri-culture provides more thansecure access to food.Today, conscientious farm-ers are taking leadershiproles in increasing biodiver-sity, or the range of speciesoccupying a particular area.Good farm stewardshipyields positive impacts onthe ecological health ofurban regions.

Sustainable farms arenot factories for food pro-duction, but healthy vitalecosystems, that providefood and habitat for birdsand insects, as well as forhumans. Supporting andmaintaining healthy bal-anced ecosystems is part ofthe farmer’s role, contrib-uting not only to healthycrops that do not requirepesticides, but also contrib-uting to regional biodiver-sity.

There are many measuresthat farmers may elect totake to increase farm biodi-versity. Many of these prac-tices are being implemented

at the Earthwise Farm inBoundary Bay, includinghedgerows, cover crops, andinterplanting.

Hedgerows, often plantedbetween fields and at theedges of waterways, provideimportant habitat continu-ity, or corridors for wildlife.Farm hedgerows offer birds,particularly songbirds, food,shelter and protection formoving around a region.

Earthwise Farm ManagerJames Gates observes,“When you approach ourhedgerows you actuallyhear an increasing clamourfrom the songbirds hidingthere, even though you can’tsee them.”

While hedgerows oftenconsist of native non-foodproducing crops, they canalso include potential cashcrops such as salal branchesfor flower arranging, orSaskatoon berries for har-vest. The latest hedgerowplantings at Earthwise willfeature Vaccinium ovalifo-lium, a native blueberry.

Cover crops are impor-tant in crop rotation,help improve soil tilthand fertility, and increasebiodiversity. Some covercrops attract insects, includ-ing pollinators like bees.The need to provide foodfor bees is of increasingconcern due to dramaticdeclines in bee populationsacross North America.Cover crops of buckwheat,clover, and phacelia arenoted insectary plants— plants that are good atattracting beneficial insectsand bees.

Interplanting includes

a variety of techniques,often employed on smallorganic farms, to increase

biodiversity and crop pro-ductivity. This includesdense plantings of diverse

crops in the same field,rather than single crops, ormonocultures. Interplantingcan include plants to attractbeneficial insects. This inturn attracts birds, buildsa healthy farm ecosystem,and contributes to a healthyregion. For example, aninterplanted field mayinclude aromatic herbs andflowers along with foodcrops. Sunflowers, lavender,and echinacea not only helpincrease farm biodiversity,but can diversify cash cropsfor small farms.

Together all of thesetechniques are sometimesreferred to as farmscap-ing. Farmscaping looks atthe entire landscape of thefarm as part of the farmecosystem, even if it is notincluded in the produc-tive crop area. Earthwise

Society’s demonstrationfarm in Boundary Bay is inthe process of implement-ing a farmscaping plan atits two-acre site, supportedby funding from VanCity.Visitors are welcome tovisit the Earthwise Farm toobserve these techniques inpractice and to learn moreabout the many organismsthat contribute to a balancedfarm ecosystem. Guidedfarm tours or school pro-grams can be arranged byappointment by calling 604-946-9828. Farm produce issold Wednesday afternoonsand Saturday morningsat the volunteer-run FarmStore to help support edu-cational programming at theEarthwise Farm.

Brighter outlook for DFWT

Things are looking upfor Delta Farmland andWildlife Trust.

After tough economictimes last year prompted thenon-profit society to scaleback its programs, addi-tional funds will enable thetrust to do more in 2010.

“We had to cut back in‘09 and that was our lowestyear ever,” said programco-ordinator and biologistDavid Bradbeer.

The global financial cri-sis hit the income the trustearned from an endowmentfund with the VancouverFoundation. The founda-tion administers the pot ofmoney that initially camefrom the expansion of theVancouver InternationalAirport as well as com-pensation from the King’sLinks golf course.

At the time, Bradbeersaid the trust wasn’t get-ting enough income frominterest and had to dip intothe principal of the fund.In recent years the trustwas getting about $120,000from all its funding sources,but last year that dropped toaround $73,000.

Bradbeer told theOptimist the endowmentincome has moved backup, while some significantgrants have also helpedimprove the financial pic-ture.

This year, the trustreceived a $35,000 grantfrom the Vancity enviro-Fund for the grassland set-aside program as well as ahabitat stewardship grantfrom Environment Canada.

The trust was recentlygiven another $15,000 fromDelta council. The contribu-tion makes it $293,000 thatDelta has provided since2003 for winter cover crop,grassland set-asides andresearch programs.

Bradbeer said it getscontinued strong sup-port from the DeltaAgricultural Society, whilefunding also comes fromDucks Unlimited Canadaand the B.C. WaterfowlSociety. Some money alsocomes from the HabitatConservation Trust Fund, aprovincial fund supportedby fishing and huntinglicence fees.

The trust was establishedin 1993 by a group of localfarmers and conservation-ists to conserve agricul-

tural and wildlife resourceswithin the Fraser Riverdelta. The trust administersa number of stewardshipprograms available to localfarmers. Under these pro-grams, it shares the costsof specific managementpractices contributing tosoil and/or wildlife habitatconservation and enhance-ment.

The grassland set-asideprogram contributes to soilconservation by allowingsoils to regenerate for farm-ing, while at the same timeproviding habitat that sup-ports many types of birds.

The winter cover cropprogram, meanwhile, pro-vides waterfowl a foodsource, helping local farm-ers and dairy producersmitigate damage to peren-nial forage fields by draw-ing away birds.

Last year the trust onlyhad about 480 acres inits grassland set-asideprogram, when the aver-age is usually around 500.Bradbeer said this year itcurrently has 512 acres andis targeting up to 550 acres.

Karin FulcherSt. David’s Anglican Church

One of the assigned readings forthis Sunday is a passage from theGospel of Luke (chapter 14) con-cerning whether or not it was lawful,in the time of Jesus, to undertakecertain tasks on the Sabbath.

In the Jewish tradition the Sabbathis still, in some denominations, heldvery sacred and work is not permit-ted, other than essential tasks. InIsrael, for example, an elevator in ahotel will stop at every floor on theSabbath, to avoid the work of push-ing a button.

It may seem frivolous, now, and2,000 years ago — but there is nodoubt that in our modern timeswe have lost the “art” of a day off.Gadgets such as laptop computersand cell phones, that were designedto simplify our lives, now mean thatwe are always accessible.

That might, in certain situations,be a good thing, but we also need totake time away from work and enjoya Sabbath rest.

Not so long ago shops were closedon Sundays, but realistically manypeople are employed on weekends.That does not negate the fact that weshould then make our “weekend” onother days, and be diligent about pro-tecting time to spend with families,on hobbies, or recreation, and mostimportantly on ourselves. Withoutadequate rest and refreshment wecannot function efficiently.

We are approaching Labour Day,when we celebrate all who work tokeep our economy ticking along – ifyou are able, honour all workers bytaking just a few quiet moments overthe next few days, to rest and renewin mind, body and spirit.

Rest and renew

Kim Marie Scott’supcoming solo artshow will be the

first of many, she expects.“For me this is just the

beginning. This my firstshow and I anticipate doingmany more,” says theLadner painter.

Scottpresentsthe exhibit,titled Homeand Abroad,at theTsawwassenLibraryduring themonth of September.

“It’s a show I’ve wantedto do for a long time,” saysScott, who runs CountryLane Gallery and FrameShop in Ladner.

“I’ve been so involvedwith framing. I’ve justdecided that it’s the righttime to focus on my art andpromote that, hence theshow,” she says.

She hopes to have about40 paintings in a range ofsizes, in acrylic, oil andwatercolour, on display.

“I love to paint my

surroundings, here inDelta and when I travel,”says Scott, a native ofWhangarei, New Zealand.

Expect local scenery likedikes and waterways as wellas scenes from destinationslike Italy and France.

Scott says it’s impor-tant to have her first showlocally.

“For me, it’s important Istart this ven-ture, this partof my career,at home.That’s whereI want thestarting pointto be.”

A self-taught artist, Scott has beenpainting for over 15 years.

She says her late mother-in-law was a “beautifulwatercolourist” and alwaysencouraged her to try it.

Home and Abroad runsduring September at theTsawwassen Library,1321A-56th St. There willbe an opening on Thursday,Sept. 2 from 5 to 7:30p.m. Refreshments will beserved.

To have a look at some ofScott’s art visit www.coun-trylanegallery.com.

Ilsoo Kyung MacLaurin’slatest exhibit focuses on theenvironment.

Spirit of Down Under,which runs early next monthat the Tsawwassen LonghouseGallery, features works that“confront the more troublingrealities of environmental pol-lution,” states a press release.

MacLaurin, a multimediaartist and Ladner resident,has been experimenting withphotographic images super-imposed on to photographicprints.

The show will also includepaintings.

The collection “will allowthe viewer a glimpse of thechallenges that we must facetogether as a society.”

MacLaurin, a retired nurse,went back to school at age 65

and graduated from UBC withan arts degree in 2006.

Originally from South Korea,she came to Canada in 1967and spent her first dozen yearsin Winnipeg. She then movedwest and eventually finishedher nursing career at RichmondHospital.

Spirit of Down Under runsfrom September 6 to 19 atthe Tsawwassen LonghouseGallery (adjacent to the SouthDelta Recreation Centre) on56th Street. There will be anopening reception on Thursday,Sept. 9 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Not all of our musclesare created equal. Case inpoint, how I feel when I liftweights for my upper bodyversus when I weight trainfor my lower body. Withmy upper body muscles, itfeels like I could go forever.It takes a long time for mymuscles to fatigue. Yet,when I train my legs, afterjust a few reps they startto fatigue. “Why is that?”,you wonder. Well, it seemsmy upper body is built forendurance and my lowerbody is built for speed, ormore scientifically, I carrymore slow-twitch musclefibres in my arms and morefast-twitch muscle fibres inmy quads and hamstrings.

Our skeletal muscles,those wonderful musclesthat connect the bonestogether and that we trainin the gym, comprise about40 per cent of our bodyweight. Within each muscleare microscopic proteinsbundled together to form afibre. These fibres are thenbundled together to formwhat is called a fascicle(rhymes with popsicle), andthe fascicles are bundledtogether to form a wholemuscle.

Within these bundledfascicles lie three differenttypes of muscle fibres (as

well as gradations betweenthem all), which dictatehow much weight, or force,it can produce and howlong it can generate thisforce. We all have thesefibres, whether we exerciseor not, and they vary frommuscle to muscle.

The first type of fibre iscalled slow-twitch fibres, orType I fibre. These are ourEnergizer Bunny musclefibres. They are recruitedfor endurance work becausethey can go on and on andon. However, while theycan carry us the distance,they sure can’t press a lotof weight. Marathon racerswould have a high percent-age of these fibres in theirlegs, while body builderswouldn’t.

The second fibre type isour fast-twitch, or Type IIafibres. These are recruitedfor activities that requirespeed, strength and power.They contract quickly, butfatigue quickly which iswhy I nick-named thesefibres our Arnie-fibres.Sprinters would have a lotof these muscle fibres intheir legs, whereas long-dis-tance bicyclists wouldn’t.

The third type of fibreis the fast-twitch B (TypeIIb) fibres. These are oursuper-charged fast-twitchmuscle fibres, and are onlyrecruited for short, intenseactivities such as jumping,sprinting at full speed andlifting very heavy weights.

All of our actions are dic-tated by these fibres. Thatis why some people can liftheavy weights, but can onlyrun for five minutes on thetreadmill. Of course, allmuscles can be trained forany activity, so don’t usethis as an excuse not to get

your cardio in, but our mus-cle fibres do dictate whataction will be easier for thebody to perform.

To determine which mus-cle fibre type you have askyourself the following ques-tions (Idea, May 2010):

1. Are you able to do lotsof repetitions when liftingweights, or do you fatigueafter a few? If you fatigue,you probably have a morefast-twitch fibres — like Ifound out in my legs.

2. Are you better at sprintand power activities or atendurance activities? Ifyou love to sprint, then youare like me again and havemore fast-twitch musclefibres. If you are a mara-thoner, then you carry moreslow-twitch fibres. I usethis excuse whenever some-one tries to get me to run amarathon. “Sorry, I’d wouldlove to, but I’m fast-twitchin the quads.”

3. Which type of work-outs feel easier and morenatural: a) long, aerobicworkouts and light weightswith lots of reps or (b)sprints and heavy weightswith few reps? If youanswered (a), you havemore slow-twitch fibres. Ifyou answered (b), you havemore fast-twitch fibres.

4. Which workouts doyou look forward moreto: (a) aerobic/enduranceworkouts or (b) anaero-bic/strength workouts? Ifyou answered (a), you havemore slow-twitch fibresand if you answered (b)you have more fast-twitchfibres.

Major Pettigrew’s LastStand, by Helen Simonson

Near the end of awonderful novel, oneof the characters states,“Sometimes you can’t fixeverything. Life isn’t alwayslike books.”

I was so drawn in byMajor Pettigrew’s LastStand that I didn’t want tobelieve it. Surely authorHelen Simonson would fixeverything, so that all thecharacters I was worriedabout would be OK, andthe despicable ones wouldsomehow be punished. It’sthe true measure of goodwriting: making your read-ers care about what hap-pens.

Major Ernest Pettigrew, awidower and retired Britishmilitary man, has all thecourtesy and respectabilitywe expect in that role. Inless capable hands thanSimonson’s, he could havebecome a caricature. Butas the story unfolds — or

rather, lurches forward inunlikely sequences — wesee a man conflicted by hisheritage and training in theface of a changing Britain.

The main conflict comeswhen the Major, as heis called throughout thebook, begins to developan attraction for the localshopkeeper, a Pakistaniwidow. Mrs. Ali manages tosurvive by rising above theinevitable cultural injusticesof the townspeople. Asshe explains, “the world isfull of small ignorances...we must all do our best toignore them and therebykeep them small, don’t youthink?”

The Major also clasheswith his son, an ambitious,arrogant social climber whouses his cultured father as aprop when necessary. Theirmis-targeted conversationsare often hilarious, but witha sad undercurrent thatreveals a mutual distrust oftwo very different genera-tions. The Major also comesto recognize the shortcom-ings that his own limitedview of the world havecaused: “I think we wakeup every day with highintentions and by dusk wehave routinely fallen short.

Sometimes I think God cre-ated the darkness just so hedidn’t have to look at us allthe time.”

Another plotline runningthrough the book involvesa pair of valuable antiqueguns the Major inheritedfrom his father. He lamentstheir separation throughfamily miscommunication,and their fate becomes sym-bolic of his own destiny.

His relationship withMrs. Ali is threatened by asimilar inability to speakhis mind, and to act on hisdesires.

One quibble, and it’s asmall one: Simonson is aWashington author (origi-nally from England), andthis book uses Americanspellings. To my eyes, “hon-our” should be spelled thatway when representing thedialogue of an Englishman.But the town, the cottagerooms, the manners, andmost importantly the worldviews of Simonson’s char-acters are true and a delightto read.

A final note: rarely hasthe cover of a book so wellrepresented its contents. Inthis case, it is the Life mag-azine cover from March 27,1924. And it’s perfect.

O2Plus Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Clinic has been helping people for over 11years.They treat local patients, throughout the lowermainlandandBritishColumbiaand also have had many clients fromWashington State. O2Plus Hyperbaric OxygenTherapy Clinic is located in White Rock at 1480 Foster Street.

O2Plus specializes in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which is the admin-istration of medical oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure. HBOT sub-stantially increases the amount of oxygen carried in all body fluids by 20 – 30%including the blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and thespinal cord, the lymph and the intracellular fluids. This provides increased oxygenlevels even in areas with poor or compromised circulation as well as in areas ofdamaged tissue.

Oxygen is necessary for sustaining life. The human body can survive for weekswithout food, days without water but only minutes without life sustaining oxy-gen. Oxygen is the prime ingredient that the body requires to enhance healing.It is essential for the stimulation, preservation and growth of all tissues and cells.Certain levels of oxygen are required to allow normal healing processes to occur.If those levels are not met, healing can be delayed. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapypromotes healing by transporting a high concentration of oxygen quickly anddeeply into affected areas of the body that may not be receiving enough oxygen toproperly heal otherwise.

The process of hyperbarics is very simple and non-invasive. The patient sits ina chamber and is administered 100 percent oxygen to inhale, at which time theatmospheric pressure inside is increased. During their session the patient maychoose to read, watch movies, listen to music or just relax and sleep.

HBOTisasafe, therapeutic treatmentfornumerousconditionsandphysical injuries.The chamber at O2Plus is licensed by Health Canada and they are a member of theCanadian Association of Hyperbarics.

“We are really an integrated health clinic,” explained Tracey Murray, clinic man-ager. “And this treatment can be used to treat a specific medical condition aidingin health and recovery from illness, or as part of a healthy lifestyle,” she added.“The treatments are ideal to use for detoxification and the prevention of illnessas well.”

In a nutshell they are about treatment and prevention.

The list of conditions that respond to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is longand the range is wide: Autism, Brain Injury, Cancer, Cerebral Palsy, ChronicFatigue, Pain Relief, Lyme Disease, Arthritis, Migraines, Multiple Sclerosis,Non-Healing Wounds, Parkinson’s Disease, Sports Injuries, Immune SystemDisorders, Stroke Recovery and more.In addition to Hyperbarics, they offer other types of treatments at the clinicincluding:

BluetoothHearing Aids

I have heard some hearing aids can connect toBluetooth devices wirelessly. Is this true?

Yes, many of today's advanced digital hearing aids are Bluetooth™ orwireless compatible, meaning they are able to connect wirelessly to variousBluetooth enabled devices and other audio devices such as cell phones,PDAs and computers. Each hearing aid manufacturer offers different wire-less solutions for their hearing aids, but most often solutions consist of thehearing aid wearer wearing a streaming device to "stream" audio outputfrom an audio device (such as your cell phone) directly to your hearingaids.

Most hearing aids with wireless capabilities are able to connect to land-line phones, cell phones, TVs and MP3 players with a simple push a but-ton on a streaming device. These streaming devices essentially turn yourhearing aids into a hands free headset, allowing you to hear output fromother audio devices through both of your hearing aids at the same time.

Some of the benefits of purchasing hearing aids with wireless capabili-ties include:

• Ability to hear audio devices with both ears for optimal listening onlandline phone, cellphone and TV

• Ability to switch between TV, landline phone and cell phone with asimple push of a button

• Streaming device most often can be used as a remote control for yourhearing aids as well

• Stay connected to the devices that matter most in your busy life

So here we are, sittingunder palm fronds andChinese lanterns, listen-ing to the surf of the SouthChina Sea break on a sugar-white beach. We’re eatingRussian borscht, drinkingMalaysian beer and trying

to get our morose, blondwaiter to smile — or atleast pronounce the Cyrillicletters on his name tag.

“Muck-zeem,” he finallygrowls in response to ourclumsy hand gestures, andwe get it: Maxim. He walksaway rolling his eyes, astudy in Slavic disdain.

Travelling in Asia, one

experiences a lot of “where-the-hell-are-we” moments,occasions when the glam-our, the kitsch or the squa-lor (more often, all three)overwhelm the senses.Nowhere is this giddy sur-reality more palpable thanat Dadong Hai, the long,gorgeous horseshoe beachin Sanya at the southern tip

of China’s Hainan Island.The Chinese call Hainan

“the Hawaii of China,”because the island, China’ssouthernmost territory(not counting a handful ofmuch smaller islands whosesovereignty is disputed byVietnam, Malaysia, thePhilippines and Brunei), isat a latitude roughly paral-lel to Hawaii. And becausethe island offers, in Sanya,the country’s only tropicalbeach resort.

If it strikes you that“China” and “beach resort”shouldn’t be in the samesentence, take it as fairwarning. Incongruitiesabound in Sanya.

More than 18 milliontourists flock to HainanIsland every year, yet it isall but unknown outsideChina, and Sanya’s beauti-ful beaches are practicallyempty all day long.

Unlike every other beachresort in Asia — fromThailand’s Phuket to Bali’sKhuta and the Philippines’Borokay — almost no onein Sanya speaks English.But everyone, from thedesk clerks to the beachtouts, speaks some Russianto anybody who is not obvi-ously Chinese.

You’ll look long and hardto find a decent hamburgerin Dadong Hai, but if youhave to stroll more than 100metres for a good blintz,you’re not paying attention.

Outside China, Sanyais perhaps best known asthe site of a not-no-secretnuclear submarine base,whose construction madeheadlines in 2008. But forthe Chinese, it is a seasideresort that is warm in thewinter yet doesn’t requireall those tedious exit per-mits and entry visas that are

the bane of would-be tour-ists in mainland China.

For western ex-pats basedin southern Chinese citiessuch as Guangzhou, HongKong and Macau, Sanya isthe perfect weekend get-away, barely an hour awayby air, but boasting beachesas good as you’ll find any-where in Southeast Asia.

Its attraction to theRussians who make up thebulk of Sanya’s foreigntourist trade is not as obvi-ous. Sanya is neither nearby(most Russians have to flysix or more hours to gethere), nor politically conve-nient (all foreigners, includ-ing Russians, need visas tovisit China).

Chalk up the phenom-enon to some savvy entre-preneurship back in thelate ‘90s when Sanya wasjust beginning to be devel-oped as a tourist destina-tion. Sergey Zhang Sha,the Russian-born son of aChinese circus performerwho visited Hainan soonafter it was made a provincein 1988, brought his firstRussian tourist to Sanya in1997.

Since Russians were thefirst foreign tourists, ser-vices developed that cateredparticularly to Russians.

This attracted even moreRussians. Now most of theservice-related signage inDadong Hai is in Russianas well as Chinese.

The Russian tourists areabout the only people you’llfind among the phalanx ofbeach lounges during theday (other than the strollingpeddlers and the beachsidemasseuses). The Chineseshare a national trait thatmakes a beach holidaycounter-intuitive: they hatethe sun, avoid it as if it wereemitting some deadly radia-tion from outer space. (Oh,wait a minute ... )

The most prevalent prod-uct on cosmetic shelves inChina is whitening cream,so sunbathing is about aspopular a seaside activityas impaling yourself on abeach umbrella. As a result,Sanya’s beaches are all butempty until the sun starts tothrow long shadows about5:30 in the evening. Thenthe shore is crowded withmerrymaking Chinese, whowill continue to frolic in thesurf until long after dark, 10p.m. at least.

We stayed at the PearlRiver Garden Hotel rightabove the boardwalk onDadong Hai.

Tom Robson capped a busysummer in style by leadingTeamB.C. to a repeat as championsat the Baseball Canada Cup inKindersley, SK.

The right-handed pitcher, whohelped Canada finish fourth atthe recent World Junior BaseballChampionships, was spectacularin a 4-0 win over Ontario in thegold medal game.

The Grade 12 student at Deltasecondary school threw a com-plete game three-hitter, strikingout nine and walking just one.

Ontario loaded the bases inthe top of the first with one outafter Grant Tamane doubled,Brandon Collins reached on adropped third strike by the catch-er and a walk issued to SpencerMarentette.

Robson then promptly struckout the next two batters to endthe threat.

Again in the second, Ontariohad runners on first and secondwith none out only to see Robsonstrike out the next three batters toend the inning.

Robson would set the gameinto cruise control for the rest ofthe night as he was perfect from

the third inning on.After getting the first two outs

in the top of the seventh, Robsongot Daniel Pinero to fly-out toend the game.

B.C. got to Ontario starterAnthony Buonaiuto in the thirdinning when he unleashed a wildpitch that scored Jovan Ewusiefrom third base. Later in theinning Jerod Bartnik tagged

Buonaiuto for a two-run homerthat would spell Buonaiuto fromthe game.

Robson was sensational in thetournament picking up two winsin 13 innings pitched and sittingdown an impressive 18 battersvia the strike out.

He opened the championshipsby pitching six scoreless inningsin a 9-2 win over Quebec.

Ladner’s Tyler Wickett didn’t let the “sidelinesfull of scouts” throw him off his game at thelacrosse Champ Camp in Baltimore last month.

A member of the Burnaby Mountain Selectssenior elite summer touring team, Wickett ledhis squad in scoring at the four-day event, whichfeatured top high school age club teams in NorthAmerica.

“You see the sidelines full of scouts and you getnervous. But once you actually start the game itsfine. It goes away after a while and you play howyou [normally] play,” said Wickett, who’s headinginto Grade 12 at Delta Secondary.

Many NCAA men’s lacrosse programs scout thetournament.

The Burnaby Mountain team, led by SimonFraser University men’s lacrosse co-head CoachesJeff Cathrea and Brent Hoskins, finished with a4-4 record.

Hoskins said Wickett had a great tournament.“Tyler led the team in scoring but also does a

great job of distributing the ball and finding openteammates. This was Tyler’s third season in theBMS program so he understands our offensive sys-tems well and is a great finisher around the net,”said Hoskins.

Burnaby Mountain played teams from Maryland,Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania andVirginia.

“There were definitely a lot of good teams,” saidWickett, who also noted he’s interested in playingNCAA lacrosse in the future. “It was definitely ahigh, high level of competition.”

Along with the rest of his team Wickett got tovisit New York City, including visits to RockefellerCenter and Madison Square Garden.

“It was pretty cool,” he said.Wickett was part of the Delta Islanders team

that finished third at the Provincial Intermediate“B” Lacrosse Championships in Richmond earlierthis month. He was also a league all-star.

Malcolm Boehm, Jordy Cunningham,Kevin Irving, Chris Nelson and DannyStanger helped the North Delta AAA Astrosculminate an outstanding season by cap-turing last weekend’s Western CanadianChampionships in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Entered the tournament as Team B.C.,the Astros advanced to the finals with winsover Saskatchewan (8-3), Manitoba (6-3), acome-from-behind effort against Alberta (6-4) and a 15-6 romp over Sherwood Park.

That set the stage for a rematch against

the host team in the championship gameand Nelson was outstanding on the mound— tossing a one hitter in his team’s 7-0 win.

The Astros earned their trip to Alberta byfinishing second at the provincial champi-onships in Cloverdale.

Chef de Mission for Team B.C. wasLadner’s own Cora Schillings.

Golden tripto Oregon forLadner CelticU13 Gold boys soccer team capturesits division at Nike Mt. Hood Challenge

Ladner Celtic U13 Gold boys soccer team opened itsseason in thrilling fashion last weekend in Oregon, captur-ing its division at the Nike Mt. Hood Challenge.

The tournament, co-hosted by five clubs in the GreaterPortland area, included over 450 boys and girls teams fromthroughout the Pacific Northwest competing in divisionsranging from U9 to U15. The Celtic competed in the U13Gold flight which featured 14 entries.

Ladner needed to finish in the top two of its pool groupto advance to the eight team championship round and it didjust that — defeating Portland City United 97 Blue 4-1 andplaying to a 1-1 draw with the CFC Rangers. The resultsleft the locals second in their group and set up what wouldbe two dramatic playoff games on Saturday.

Their quarter-final game against the Cascade FC 97 wasdeadlocked at 1-1 at the end of regulation time and pro-ceeded directly to penalty kicks to determine a winner. Theteams remained tied (4-4) after five attempts and Ladnerfinally prevailedin the sixthround.

The boys hadlittle time tosavour the vic-tory, returning tothe field less thanthree hours laterfor a semi-finalclash with theBainbridge Island’97 Galacticos.Ladner con-trolled much ofthe play and wasclinging to a 1-0 lead when itsWashington Stateopponent con-verted a reboundoff of a corner kick with just 30 seconds remaining to sendthe game to another penalty shootout.

Again, the outcome couldn’t be determined after fiveshooters with each team connecting three times. Celtic thenproduced more magic in the sixth round to secure a spot inSunday’s championship game.

Coming off two emotional wins, the locals saved theirbest for last — scoring twice in the opening 15 minutes enroute to a convincing 3-0 victory over the Hillsboro Force.

Making the tournament feat even more impressive wasthe team having just 13 players available for the entireweekend.

Celtic received outstanding play from Marc Ashford,Devin Basi, Kyle Booth, Matteo Corea, Jeremy Gill,Brayden Kirk, Josh Murphy, Logan Newman, JakeRichards, Brenn Traher, Nicholas Wicks, Michael Wiechersand goalkeeper Kaylin Kaila. Unable to make the trip wereJoven Gill and Spencer Richardson.

The team’s coaching staff includes: Mark Booth, TedMurphy and Tony Corea.

Celtic now looks forward to the regular season, compet-ing at the District 5 Gold level and also defending its titleat the Richmond Thanksgiving Tournament.

Josh Murphy heads up field during LadnerCeltic’s 2-1 semi-final win over BainbridgeIsland at the Nike Mt. Hood Challenge.


Ladner U13 Celtic went unbeaten in five games to capture the 14-team Gold flight at the Nike Mt. Hood Challenge in Portland.

BERRY, Helen Norma (Hartwig)February 19, 1925 - August 18, 2010Celebration of Life: September 5, 2010

McKee Seniors Recreation Centre, 1:30 - 3:30 PMRefreshments to follow

It is with sadness but also a sense of relief that we announce thepassing of a very special woman, Helen Berry. She was predeceasedby her husband of 62 years on June 30, 2010. It was apparent that inher own way, from her extended care bed, she was making sureeverything was going “properly”. Although, in the last year, very littlewords were spoken by Helen, she was always able to muster a hugesmile for anyone who visited or said hello.

Helen is survived by her sisters, Donna Greenwood (Barry), Valerie Ballantyne, and Doreen Marcoux. Alsosurviving, her son Kenneth (Julia), grandchildren Kate deWynter (Brett) and Geoff (Pamela) and her prideand joy of eight “little ones”: Carysa, Harmony, Anna, Jacob, Eric, Nathan, David and Tahya. She also leavesbehind many, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who were very important to her over the years.Helen was born in Goodeve, Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver and later to Coquitlam where she livedwith her 10 brothers and sisters. In 1937, Helen was crowned Miss Canada during the May Day Celebration,something she was very, very proud of. Helen was courted by a young Head Doorman (Doug) while she wasthe Head Usherette at the Odeon Theatre (not the Pantages). They obviously hit it off as they celebrated their62nd Anniversary on June 17, 2010. It was their last celebration together.In the early 1940’s, Helen was a seamstress at Spencers and later was a seamstress at Woodwards(downtown) for 20 years. In the early 1950’s, Helen was also a Hat Check girl at the Commadore onweekends. Ken can remember Dad coming home from work and having a special family meal on Fridaysand saying goodbye to Mom as she went out to work “at the club” and Dad would wait up until the “weehours” until she came home.Poor health dictated no more work for Helen from 1967 onward and she was content to “stay busy” athome, gardening and concocting excellent food experiments for family and friends, and learning to makeornate lampshades. She became a legend for her ability to grow geraniums from the shoots and taught anyinterested neighbour “the secret” to success. She had a love for Japanese Maples, clematis, and Lady Bealheather. Helen also took courses in cake decorating and flower arranging and soon was makingpresentations that would stop traffic with their intricacies, colour and detail.Helen discovered delicious home made pizza long before the fast food craze ever took hold. Her “pies”could feed a dozen people at one sitting. Helen would busy herself with helping friends and family withclothing alterations and doing unbelievably delicate needlework and petit point, which still adorn the familyhome. She also made gallons and gallons of Blackberry jelly. Boy, could she cheat at canasta!Helen, much to the chagrin of her husband Doug, was a great shopper for clothes, material, doilies andgoodies for “the little ones”. Whenever someone visited she would always try to slip a $5, $10 or $20 billto that person depending upon age, to “go buy something nice”. The Berry household, in Richmond, wasthe holding pond for many relatives flying in and out of BC. Many, many nieces and nephews boarded,visited or holidayed at the Berry home or Boundary Bay cabins.Helen loved to direct traffic (Doug and relatives) from the kitchen table or the bed if she was feeling poorly.She loved visiting the Cariboo at her brother Ed’s place and later at Anahim Lake, Likely and Williams Lakewith her son and his family. Despite her medical problems, Doug and Helen were able to make many tripsto Maui and Alaska but their truly favourite place was Boundary Bay. They rented or owned cabins there forjust about all of their 62 years together, a tradition that the Berry family continues to this day.The Berry family would like to, yet again, extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff at the WaterfordCare Home, and more recently, Mountain View Manor. Our Mom (and Dad) were treated as valued membersof both families and we know that both will be missed. We are very grateful for the fine care, over the years,given to them by Dr. Henderson and more recently Dr. Rogerson, who says she has never seen a personwith a stronger heart than Helen.Although our family has been shaken by the events of the past fifty days, we have come to the understandingthat everything unfolded as it should. We truly believe that Mom, in her own way, was making sure Dad was“behaving himself”, and with his sudden and unexpected passing, her job here was complete.Once again, Mom we are so proud of you. You made sure family, friends and strangers were alwayswelcome in your home and let your family know that “busy hands are happy hands”. You too, will be lovedand missed by so many.In lieu of flowers, donations to the Delta Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

WORKING & TRAINING

Canada is on the cusp of a major change. The first waveof our country’s aging baby boomers is about to turn 65. Withthis milestone birthday comes retirement, of course, alongwith a host of challenges that will dramatically transform thecountry. Most significantly, mass retirement will have a strikingimpact upon employment and health care in Canada.

As Canadians enter their golden years, they will beturning to the medical community to keep them healthy.In fact, over the next twenty five years, the passage of about10 million boomers into retirement will present both majorchallenges and opportunities for our country’s medicalsystem. From dental work to x-rays to in-home support,

these new Canadian seniors will be creating a significantdemand for health care across the board.

In addition to the increased need for health care, as olderworkers retire, the mass retirement will create openingsfor advancement and entry into jobs previously held byboomers. In short, the swell in the senior populationspells out security for workers in the health care industryand opportunity for students seeking a future with goodprospects. According to Jobfutures.ca, Canada’s NationalCareer and Education planning tool, a number ofoccupations in the health care industry have been given the“Good Prospect” stamp of approval. By “Good”, the

government of Canada is indicating thatnew entrants into that particular field have“a relatively easy time finding permanentemployment in targeted occupations withrelatively high pay or attractive labourmarket conditions.”

Of the 40 or so occupations listed as“Good” prospects for 2010, over half arein the health care industry. As the countryprepares for the upcoming 25 years ofboomer retirement and its accompanyingneed for increased health care, this numbercan only be expected to rise-good news forcurrent and potential health care workers.

So what are some of the careers thatstand to prosper from this mass retirement?We’ll take a look at three of these risingstar careers to learn more about the natureof the work, the education required andwhat one can expect to earn whilecontributing to this booming field.

of duties in support of a dentist. These caninclude polishing teeth, applying fluoride,preparing patients for dental examinations,preparing dental instruments and takingx-rays. Dental assistants require trainingin a college program and, in all provincesbut Quebec, licensing is mandatory. Oncegraduated, Dental assistants can expect toearn about $16.51 per hour. The growth of

employment for this field is above average and expected toremain as such due, not only to the aging population, but alsoto the increase in Canadians with insurance coverage andimprovements in dental technology.

Pharmacy AssistantPharmacy assistants assist pharmacists by preparing,

packaging & labeling pharmaceutical products. They alsoverify prescriptions, maintain patient records and monitorinventories of medications and pharmaceutical products.Pharmacy assistants require completion of secondary school& a college program in Pharmacy Assistant or PharmacyTechnician training. Once completed, a Pharmacy Assistantcan expect to earn an hourly wage of about $14.51.

Nurse (Nurse Aide)Nurse Aides attend to the needs of patients in hospitals,

nursing homes and other health care facilities. They maybe involved in answering call signals, serving meals, takingpatient’sbloodpressure,collectingfluidspecimens,maintaininginventory of supplies and performing maintenance tasks suchas cleaning and sterilizing equipment. A Nurse Aide usuallyrequires a college program with practical, on-the-job training.Once graduated, a Nurse Aide can expect to earn about$14.77 per hour.

The next few years will bring many changes with them.For those Canadians thinking about jobs and what educationor training they need for a prosperous future, it’s importantto consider the effects of phenomena like the baby boomers.A growing and aging population that requires more healthservices coupled with new vacancies in these fields present apositive outlook for health care jobs.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections August 29 - Sept. 4★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Tackle those piles ofwork. It’s nit-picky, detailed work, and all the detailsare rife with mistakes, camouflaged instructions,missing pieces. But you gotta do it – so marchahead. Important relationships – friends, enemies,lovers, partners, competitors, counsellors – remainunusually favourable. You might give or receiveattention. One who is attracted, or attracts, is a“door” to worldly success. (E.g., that sexy personmight also bring career luck.) Better if you met sometime ago. Start nothing major before Sept. 12. Chasemoney Sunday/Monday. Be home Friday/Saturday.Taurus April 20-May 20: Romance wafts happilyon the breeze! An old flame could grow hotter,especially if a co-worker is involved. Beauty, pleasureand a nice winning streak accompany you. A formerrecreational or creative venture might return. There’sstill plenty of work to do, though. One chore, whichmight involve education, travel, cultural or mediawork, will take about two more years to complete.Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to Tuesday– tackle things that usually intimidate you, and seehow easily you achieve! Money’s lucky Thursday.Be a friend Friday/Saturday. Career intuition isaccurate.Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks aheadaccent your domestic situation, kids, security,real estate, gardening, nutrition and “the end ofmatters.” Usually this is a good time to decide whoand what belongs in your life, and who/what shouldbe left behind. But make no big decisions (in anyof the areas listed) before Sept. 12. Your romanticprospects remain high, but attraction might competewith a natural physical lethargy – or, romance andco-habitation make a natural “pair.” You’re weary butlucky Sunday/Monday. Your charisma’s obvious mid-week. You’re discovering love’s “other benefits.”

Cancer June 21-July 22: Communications, travel,paperwork, details, errands, casual acquaintancesand “daily business” are accented now—and all aredelayed or prone to mistakes. Check addresses onmail, figures on cheques, etc. Don’t start anythingimportant before Sept. 12, particularly in thesezones. (E.g., avoid a new advertising “mail out.”) Youmight hear long-lost news, receive a “lost letter,”hear from an old friend, etc. Your home remainssweet’n’sour, but ends “inspired.” Optimism,popularity and social joys bless you Sunday toTuesday! Lie low mid-week. Your energy, charismareturn Friday/Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Your money (and career)luck rises, but more from past efforts, contacts, thannew ones. Don’t launch any ventures before Sept.12, especially in money areas. If you absolutelyneed a job, seek and land it (Sunday to Tuesday aregood for this) – but realize that you will want to, willbenefit, if you seek a new one within a year. (You’reheaded for great career luck June 2011-June 2012,but that’s then.) Mid-week brings happiness, goodfriends, popularity, flirtations – with a Gemini? Butretreat, lie low and contemplate (don’t plan) Friday/Saturday. The best partner is a friend.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness reach a yearly high – but thateffectiveness is confined to ongoing and “returning”projects (and people – a former attraction might berekindled). Beware starting important new thingsbefore Sept. 12. Intellectual, far travel, educational,publishing, religious or cultural affairs flow very wellSunday to Tuesday afternoon. Love is gentle, wide.Your career and relations with higher-ups (includingparents, police) are emphasized mid-week.All’s well,but don’t act unpredictably Thursday night. Hopesand friends make a good combo Friday/Saturday!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new beforeSept. 12. Secrets, mysteries, financial plums, intimateclinches, subconscious desires surfacing – thesefill Sunday through Tuesday. (Best Sunday, Mondaymorning.) Work in the background all week, especiallythese three days – a government agency, institution,large corporation or charitable organization could beyour ally.Wisdom, a mellow mood, and matters of law,culture, education, thought, love and “meaning” arisemid-week – with misunderstandings Wednesday,sweet understandings Thursday. Don’t push anyoneFriday/Saturday. All week, conserve energy.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wishes can come truethis week and next – especially former wishes,events you wanted to occur in the past, then gaveup on. (E.g., a sweet or flirtatious friend returning.)(You might be tempted by a clandestine romanceAugust and September.) Remember, start nothingnew – projects nor important links – before Sept. 12.Relationships fill Sunday to Tuesday – open, exciting,sometimes challenging relationships. Be diplomatic,eager to join. Sex, secrets, intimate commitments,“big” finances arise mid-week. (All’s well.) Avoidethical, educational, publishing commitments lateweek.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Delay majorinitiatives until Sept. 12. Stick with the old or ongoing– and protect these from mistakes and “no shows,”especially in business and career zones. This is afairly easy, mellow week. You’ll have to work hard –your performance is being watched. But friends, lightflirtations, entertainment and happy hopes lightenevery day! Tackle work Sunday to Tuesday – successawaits. Relationships, opportunities and challengesfill Tuesday eve to Thursday. Be open, honest,receptive: love’s “around.” Careful with finances, sex,commitments (no pregnancies!) Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Sweet, mellow thoughts,solutions, dreams, revisions float through your head– but if you actually sit down to write them out,you’ll discover they were “gossamer on the breeze”– insubstantial, impractical, even nonsensical. Thisgossamer is the “chatter” as your lower mind sortsout the past two years. The true results are substantialand beneficial – and sub-conscious. Do events since2008 seem grim? No worries: you are coming into yourpower. Your career efforts need pruning: encouragegrowth by ending/clipping some involvements. Earlyweek, love, pleasure. Mid: work. Late: caution.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Secrets, mysteries,dreams, subconscious desires (and fears) research,diagnosis, health, investments, debts, large finances,lifestyle choices, commitments, sexual intimacy – theseare emphasized, and in all, mistakes run rife. However,these are also mines filled with rich veins runningthrough the past – there might be an old investment,a former intimate partner, an old piece of researchthat holds deep benefits for you! (Most likely to appearSunday to Tuesday.) But make NO new investments(etc.) before Sept. 12. Romance calls mid-week. Carefulwith health, chores Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb.19-March20:Thepast isalive; thepresent,as if scared, dithers around, circling uncertainties. Sodeal with the past – former agreements, opportunities,negotiations, relationships. These yield benefits. Everyrelationship holds something in its hands: money,love, sex, commitment, the future: especially now.The deeper you plunge, the more you will find, mostof it gratifying. You could get hooked on someone,August September! Sunday to Tuesday accent travel,communications. Mid-week draws you toward home,foundations. Friday/Saturday bring romantic, pleasureurges: be honest, cautious.
