Donations from the communityfor the victims of the EvergreenLane apartment fire have pouredin since last Friday night’s blaze.

“We’ve been absolutely over-whelmed,” saidexecutive directorDoug Sabourin.
However, in thenext three to fourweeks the socialservices agencywill be looking forhousehold items,furniture and appli-ances.
“A lot of thesepeople have reallylost everything,”Sabourin said.
Due to healthreasons, mattressescannot be accepted.

Sabourin said that emergencyaccommodations were found foreveryone displaced by the fire.The next step, he said, will beto find more permanent hous-ing for the victims. Sabourinsaid Deltassist is working withemergency social services and
other local organizations to ensureeveryone finds a place to live.
Community support for the vic-tims continues to abound.
A fundraising barbecue isscheduled for Sept. 1 at KirklandHouse from 5 until 10:30 p.m.
The event will feature outdoormusic, a 50/50 draw and ham-burgers and pop by donation.
Organizer Cassie Brown islooking for volunteers to help out.
She can be reached at 604-551-0524.
The blaze started at about 7p.m. at a two-storey apartmentcomplex in the 4600-block ofLadner’s Evergreen Lane. It tookseveral hours and required 52firefighters, including some fromRichmond, to extinguish the blazethat spread quickly in the 40-year-old wood-framed building thatdidn’t have a sprinkler system.
More than 20 of the 66 suitesin the complex were damaged inthe fire and 22 residents, most ofthem seniors, have been displaced.
No one was injured.The apartments are run by the
Delta Senior Housing Associationand managed by BC Housing.
The cause of the fire is stillunder investigation, however, itdoes not appear suspicious.
A Delta police officer receiveda federal award for bravery thisweek.
Const. Cal Traversy was among17 honoured by Governor GeneralMichaelle Jean on Tuesday.
Traversy was awarded a Medal
of Bravery for rescuing his neigh-bours from their burning house inNorth Delta on Sept. 12, 2008. Hehad just completed his first dayon the job with Delta police — hehad transferred from Vancouverpolice department — and was off-duty at the time.
Hearing the sound of break-ing glass, Traversy looked out his
window to see his neighbours’sliding glass door explode as thehouse erupted in flames.
Shouting to his wife to call911, Traversy rushed over andpushed open the front door wherehe found a boy, the first of threepeople he would help out of the

Delta’s fire risk movedinto the extreme categorylast week.
On July 28, the Deltafire department movedthe fire risk rating fromhigh to extreme and it isexpected to remain therefor some time.
“It’s going to have torain for quite a bit to getout of extreme,” saiddeputy fire chief PaulScholfield.
A mild winter com-bined with a low snowpack and a warm drysummer have increasedthe risk of forest or inter-face fires.
Last week, fire chiefDan Copeland announceda ban on all types ofburning in the municipal-ity. That includes agri-cultural or land clearing,residential backyard, andcamp or cooking fires,including barbecues atCentennial Beach.
The department hasalso cancelled all existingfire permits for agricul-tural land waste.
The department is ask-ing people to remain onthe trails in WatershedPark and the naturereserve, and Burns Boghas been completelyclosed.
Metro Vancouverand Delta fire depart-ment crews are currentlyconducting daily patrolsof high risk areas suchas the bog, CentennialBeach, the nature reserveand Watershed Park.
The situation is not asbad as last year, however,when Watershed Park wascompletely closed to thepublic.
Scholfield said one ofthe main messages to thepublic is to stop flick-ing cigarette butts out ofcar windows. When theconditions are this dry,it doesn’t take much tospark a fire.
“We just spend somuch of our energy chas-ing these little fires,” hesaid, adding they can eas-ily turn into big fires.
A 25 per cent increasein Tsawwassen’s popula-tion would result in longerwaits at key intersectionsand the need for roadimprovements, accordingto a consultant who madea presentation last week tothe Tsawwassen Area PlanCommittee.
Dave Turner of HalcrowEngineering presented thefindings of his analysisof the community’s roadnetwork and how muchadditional traffic could besupported.
Turner said at presentthere’s no real problemsduring the peak morningor afternoon driving times,although the afternoonperiod does experiencehigher volumes due to hav-ing more than just workand school traffic headinghome.
Currently, the busiestintersection is Highway 17and 56th Street, which han-dles 2,650 vehicles per hourduring the morning peak.During the afternoon peak,there are 3,075 vehicles perhour.
Turner then outlined whatkey intersections wouldlook like during the peakperiods under a couple ofdifferent scenarios.
The first scenario is“business as usual,” which
has little developmentoccurring in Tsawwassen.That scenario also takesinto account developmentat the Tsawwassen Golfand Country Club as wellas the Tsawwassen FirstNation, which could add anextra 3,000 residents on thereserve in the next 10 yearsand 4,500 by 2031.
Under the scenario, by2031 the morning peakwould see the highestincreases at Highway 17 at56th Street (25 per cent)and at 52nd Street (50 percent).
Those intersectionswould see 25 per centand 70 per cent increases,respectively, during theafternoon rush.
Tuner said the networkas it exists today should beadequate in handling theadditional capacity underthat first development sce-nario.
The second scenarioexplored by the consultanthas “densification” occur-ring within Tsawwassen,increasing the populationby 25 per cent, reaching31,950 by 2031.
By that year, the situa-tion is much different atHighway 17 and 56th Streetduring the morning peak,where traffic would rise by50 per cent as well as by 65per cent at the highway’sjunction with 52nd Street.Sizable increases wouldoccur elsewhere, including56th Street at 16th and 12thavenues.
During the afternoonrush more large increaseswould occur, with thebusiest intersection beingHighway 17 and 52ndStreet (up 85 per cent). That
year, “capacity problems”would be seen at the inter-sections of Highway 17 and56th and 52nd streets, andalso 16th Avenue at 56thStreet.
Noting motorists couldend up waiting at more thanone traffic light at the busi-est periods at those inter-sections, Turner outlinedvarious potential solutions,including extra left turnlanes at 12th Avenue and56th Street, widening 52ndStreet and additional trafficlanes at that street’s high-way intersection.
Delta is looking at strate-gies to prepare for futureflooding scenarios.
A couple of years agothe municipality joined aUniversity of B.C. study,the Local Climate ChangeVisioning Project, to seewhat could happen heredepending on how variouslevels of carbon emissionimpact the climate.
A federally-fundedresearch project involv-ing several LowerMainland communities, theCollaborative for AdvancedLandscape Planning(CALP) used visual mod-eling and computer tech-niques to come up with 3D
images of what South Deltamight look like.
Some of those imagesweren’t promising, showingareas such as Boundary Bayunder a few metres of waterin a worst-case scenario ofrising sea levels by the nextcentury.
According to CALP, theresults of the Delta visu-alizations will help people“move towards a deeperawareness and sense ofurgency, reaching peoplethat climate science oftenfails to reach, and providingclear choices for feasibleactions.”
Delta environmentalplanner Marcy Sangretsaid the next phase is nowbeginning, looking at differ-ent planning approaches.
“They completed theirwork visualizing differentclimate change scenariosand the next stage is tocontinue that work andidentify ways it can be usedfor decision making forlocal planning,” she told theOptimist.
“They’re going to bedoing additional visualiza-tions at a more refined leveland will focus on adaptationand making recommenda-tions for Delta as it relatesto how to incorporate thatinformation into guidelines,policies, bylaws, etc.”
Sangret noted the munic-ipality’s participation is allpart of Delta’s ongoing cli-mate change strategy.
Delta has an extensiveflood protection system
that includes dikes, largedrainage ditches and pumpstations.
Sangret recently toldDelta’s environmentaladvisory committee futureimprovements to deal withrising water levels couldinclude raising dikes, lettingwaters flow in, differenthouse forms, flood eleva-tions for new constructionand infrastructure upgrades.The CALP study will alsoinclude some cost benefitanalysis, including socialcosts as well as financial.
According to CALP,there’s an “urgent need” forgovernments at all levelsin Canada to make deci-sions concerning adaptationand planning strategies forgreenhouse gas reduction.
Delta, meanwhile, wasalso selected as one ofthree Canadian communi-ties to partner in a separatestudy with the InternationalCouncil of LocalEnvironmental Initiativesand Natural ResourcesCanada, also looking athow climate change couldimpact the municipality.
Sangret said Deltawould develop an adapta-tion “guidebook” for localgovernments as part of thatproject that is now under-way.
“There’s lots of organi-zations which are keen towork with Delta becausewe’ve advanced a lot of ourclimate change policies andadaptation already,” sheadded.

Tuesday’s accidentinvolving a B.C. Ferriesvessel was one day removedfrom the 40th anniversaryof one of the worst daysever for the ferry service.
Several were injured inthis week’s mishap whenthe Queen of Nanaimo,making its regular runbetween the Gulf Islandsand Tsawwassen, made ahard landing while dockingat Mayne Island.
The accident doesn’tcompare to the carnage ofAug. 2, 1970, the day theQueen of Victoria collidedwith the Soviet freighterSergey Yesenin in ActivePass. The ferry was carry-ing 500 passengers fromTsawwassen to Swartz Bay
on Vancouver Island whenthe freighter sliced throughthe middle of it.
A seven-month-old boy,his mother and a teen-age girl were killed in theSunday afternoon tragedy,while seven others werehurt.
It was the first collisionand first fatal accident forB.C. Ferries.
The Delta Optimistreported at the time thefreighter, carrying steelproducts and cars toVancouver from Japan, wasvirtually undamaged in thecrash.
The ferry, a newer shipat that time, was severelydamaged with a 40-footgash in the hull. On theupper deck, sun chairs bolt-ed to the deck were snappedlike matchsticks and thrown
around. The anchor ofthe freighter had snappedoff and jammed into thetangled superstructure ofthe ferry.
Passengers providedhorrifying accounts of thecollision, including provin-cial court judge G. RossSutherland, who was travel-ling with his family. He saidit was clear weather and,as he stood in the loungeof the bow of the ship, hecould see the red star on thefreighter as it came towardsthe ferry at what appearedto be “a good clip.”
A spokesperson for theDepartment of TransportPort Authority said pilotstook freighters throughActive Pass only if condi-tions were favourable. Capt.James Pollock of the Queenof Victoria said he had no
warning the freighterwas about to enter thepass. The two shipscould not communicateby radio since they oper-ated on different fre-quencies.
Commenting on themishap, Premier W.A.CBennett said, “I amconvinced it was not anintentional accident.”
The ferry was takento drydock in NorthVancouver for repairs.
With 182,500 sailingsper year, there have beenonly a few collisionsin the 50 years of B.C.Ferries. Those accidentsinclude a 1992 crashinvolving the Queen ofAlberni, sailing out ofTsawwassen, which raninto a Japanese freighter,injuring 17 passengers.
According to B.C.Ferries, passenger safetyis its highest prior-ity and the corporationeither meets or exceedsthe safety standardsestablished by TransportCanada.
This year also marksthe 50th anniversary ofthe Tsawwassen ferryterminal.
This photo of the heavy damage to the Queen of Victoria was takenby Ladner resident Peter Lund after the vessel had been towed toa repair facility. He climbed to the top of a mast to take the photoshowing how the ferry had literally been sliced in half.

Cory Rudston-Brownand Andy Hayer will golffrom sunrise to sunset atBeach Grove Golf Club onMonday in support of ALS.
Eighty-eight golf prosand juniors, at 43 coursesthroughout B.C., are par-ticipating in the PGA ofB.C. Golf A Thon for ALS.They are lending their
muscles to those who havelost theirs to ALS, raisingawareness and funds forthe ALS Society of B.C.patient services.
ALS, amyotrophic later-al sclerosis, also referred toas Lou Gehrig’s Disease, isa neurodegenerative disor-der that affects the person’smotor neurons that carry
messages to the musclesresulting in weakness andwasting in arms, legs,mouth, throat and else-where; typically the personis immobilized or deceasedwithin two to five years ofthe initial diagnosis. ALSis always fatal.
There is no known causeor cure.
The southwest corner ofDelta Hospital’s groundswill become the site of anurban forest being devel-oped by the Delta HospitalFoundation.
The land has beencleared of grass in prepa-ration for the planting ofa wide variety of trees,shrubs and ground cover, allindigenous to B.C. A watercenterpiece feature, walk-ways and benches are alsoplanned.
Dubbed Forest For OurFuture, the innovative proj-ect will provide a peaceful,forested area for patients,their visitors and the entire
community to enjoy forgenerations to come.
Recognizing the posi-tive impact that trees bringto a community, the DeltaHospital Foundation isexcited about the projectbecause of the immediateand lasting benefits it willproduce for the hospital andthe people of Delta.
The forest will be fundedentirely by a one-time gen-erous estate gift by Ladnerresident Al Hollinger. Theforest will then serve asan area of recognition forfuture estate gifts that inturn help fund hospitalprojects.
“The cultivation of thisurban forest is a uniqueway for donors to be ableto leave a lasting legacyto our hospital,” says thefoundation’s charitable giftsmanager, Shelley Slaughter.“Ultimately, we want theforest to symbolize Delta— a community of strength,peace and sustainability;a community that trulycares.”

MURPHY’SLAW
All things being equal, I can see whereburning garbage may be preferable tolandfilling it.
The trouble I have, and why I takeissue with Metro Vancouver’s decisionlast Friday, or at least Delta’s role in it,is because all things aren’t equal when itcomes to our fair municipality.
If you’re one of the cities in GreaterVancouver that will soon require a newplace to dispose of your garbage becausethe landfill in Cache Creek is closing,then I can see the lure of an incinerator.If you can’t find another place to dumpit, then why not burn the trash, generat-ing energy, and revenue, in the process?(They could likely find another placeto dump, including an expanded CacheCreek, but that’s another story.)
An incinerator is prohibitively expen-sive, and has its own environmentalshortcomings in the form of particulatesin the air, but given the predicamentmany Lower Mainland communities arefacing, a waste-to-energy facility is notan unreasonable choice.
Delta, however, isn’t in that boat. Wedon’t truck our garbage to Cache Creek,but rather to the Vancouver Landfill inEast Ladner, which has a lifespan of atleast another 25 years. That means opt-ing for incineration is kissing off anotherquarter century of free dumping as wellas the royalties that come with playinghost to the landfill.
Vancouver certainly sees the finan-cial benefits of sticking with the land-fill, which is a big reason why it votedagainst Metro’s burning proposal lastweek. Other jurisdictions also came outagainst the plan for a variety of reasons,including a lack of other options and thepotential location of the incinerator, butDelta joined the majority in supportingthe move to waste-to-energy.
Perhaps I’m a dinosaur and shouldn’tbe so concerned with the bottom line,but I’m having a hard time getting pastthe financial impacts of the decision aswell as the relatively recent conversion toincineration.
Oddly enough, Metro Vancouver’spreference not too long ago was to con-tinue landfilling, either in Cache Creekor Ashcroft, and it was only when thoseoptions disappeared the waste-to-energybandwagon began to fill.
What’s more, if incineration is asenvironmentally friendly as its support-ers claim, then why has the Fraser ValleyRegional District condemned Metro’sdecision amid fears of deteriorating airquality?
Neither option to deal with our gar-bage is ideal, but in one case it’s not onlythe trash that’s getting burned.

There are those who believeglobal warming (or climatechange) is a fallacy. They disputethe information coming at us andoffer other information.
As a professional engineer ofmany years, I have concluded thatsome form of global warming istaking place. It may be cyclical, butif so, the cycle is many hundredyears long and warmer weather isin the cards in my lifetime and inyours.
Remember that 10,000 yearsago our part of the world was cov-ered by a glacier. Thousands uponthousands of years earlier we werea tropical jungle. So it may be acycle — but a very long cycle.
A few years ago I visited theold Dutch port area in Jakarta,
Indonesia, and viewed whatappeared to be high curbs on theedges of the dock. It was explainedthis was to keep water out as thesea level had risen a lot in the pastmany years. The dock was nowbelow sea level.
Within recent years the polar icecap has shrunk dramatically, theice cap over Greenland is meltingat a very significant rate, glaciersin Canada are shrinking and disap-pearing, the sea is warming provid-ing concern about changes in oceancurrents, temperatures in manyplaces are rising and there is evi-dence that storms are more violent.
So what does this have to dowith you and me as we live andenjoy our summer in Delta?
Many years ago as the FraserValley and Delta were settled, ourancestors diked the Fraser River to“keep it under control.” Doing soreduced the area for floodwaters tospread, thus causing them to risehigher than before when flooding.
With global warming and heavi-er rains, more runoff is likely onthe Fraser and flooding can becomea bigger problem. Absent rigor-ous channel cleaning, and with the
effect of urban mass weight on ourpeat sub soils, the flooding is pre-dicted to be a looming problem.
So if you combine sea level rise,increased river flow and more vio-lent winter storms, you are lookingat storm surges that are several feetabove today’s reality.
What are we doing? We aredepending on the province to tellus what to do.
In some cases, such as BeachGrove and Boundary Bay, the cur-rent diking standards will not saveus. Yet Delta is reluctant to imposenew standards on oceanfront hom-eowners as dikes in some cases areon private property and this effortwould be opposed.
Homeowners are reluctant tolose the view they currently enjoy.Some don’t believe the dike needsto be higher, despite recent experi-ences. Each is capable of suing theother for loss of... But what if youlive two blocks away and get flood-ed due to insufficient dikes?
It will probably take a majorstorm surge, with damage in themillions of dollars, to wake us up.Why are we waiting for this to hap-pen?
It’ll likely take major storm towake up to climate change

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Re: Berner guilty on all
charges, July 28While one cannot but
feel a little sorry for a fel-low human being (CarolBerner) who is going to goto jail for quite a long time,the facts of the case pro-vide several powerful andimportant social messagesfor us all.
Firstly, we need to real-ize that driving — that is,propelling at great speedsa tonne of metal in closeproximity to other such pro-jectiles and fragile human
lives — is a privilege, nota right. We, therefore, needto do this mindfully andwith consideration for oth-ers, just as we would expectothers to behave when wemight be at risk of harm.Almost twice the speedlimit is just not on.
Secondly, we all knowthat too much alcoholmakes idiots of us all, andsometimes also releasespent-up resentments, frus-trations, rages and irrespon-sible behaviour. This cancause a dangerous behav-ioural cocktail (excuse
the pun). We don’t need anation of prudes, but we doneed to restrict our drinkingto safe social environments.
Thirdly, to put bothtogether — that is, drivingwhile drunk — is simplyunacceptable behaviour;behaviour that needs tobe pilloried publicly andprosecuted promptly. Bothhave happened in the AlexaMiddelaer case, fortunately,and the outcome is theappropriate one.
I don’t like the idea ofnew laws because I feel weare already over-regulated,
but I guess the anti-socialbehaviour of some likeBerner — and its devastat-ingly fatal results — makesthe new .05 laws necessary.
Hopefully, the sentenceto be delivered in Novemberwill “educate” (read: pun-ish) Berner appropriately,protect the public fromher repeating this sort ofbehaviour (at least for a fewyears) and help deter othersfrom similar behaviour.
Justice served, but abeautiful and precious lifelost in the process.
Chris Stanton
Editor:Re: Berner guilty on all
charges, July 28Not to belittle the seri-
ousness of this crime, but Ifind there is something veryupsetting about the under-cover police activity in thiscase.
Befriending the defen-dant in order to incriminateher on this drunk drivingcharge feels like a very
sinister action. I have neverheard of this in an accidentcase in B.C. before.
Was the case againstthe defendant so weak thiswas necessary? Do wenow have to fear everyonewho befriends us becausethey may be trying to pin acrime on us?
Where does this kind ofpolice-state tactic stop? Ispaying people for testimony
against a suspect the nextstep?
And sending her to jail?Is this to save us from afiend who will deliberatelydrive into people if she isallowed to serve other kindsof punishment?
Removing her lifetimedriving privileges andlengthy house arrest afterthe last two years of perse-cution would not be so far
out of line.She is not knowingly
infecting people with AIDS.She is not a psychopathwho poses a threat to herfamily and neighbours. Ifshe were, she would be freeto roam the world.
I am surprised that noone is decrying this TV-fashioned undercover activ-ity.
Cecilia Tanner
Justice served in case featuringimportant messages for society
Undercover officers befriending driver doesn’t sit right Editor:I am writing to say a
heartfelt thank you to Pearland the team at McKeeSeniors’ Recreation Centre,plus all the ESS teams, forthe incredible response tothe fire on Evergreen Lanelast Friday.
There were many evacu-ees from several buildingsrequiring registration andmuch paperwork. Withinminutes we were providedseating, hot/cold drinks and
sandwiches, etc.Many lost their belong-
ings, but I was fortunate tobe allowed to return to mybuilding, just next door,around midnight.
I have no idea of names,but thanks are also due tofirefighters, police officers,paramedics and all thosewho stepped up with offersof help.
Again, my sincere grati-tude to all.
Judy Burrows
Editor:Just back from the best
Sun Festival parade wehave attended since mov-ing to Delta in 1971.
Floats were great, publicparticipation wonderfuland we really enjoyed it, asdid the crowds beside us.
Noted that MLA VickiHuntington was there aswas MP John Cummins.Both drew great applauseand their attendance wasobviously appreciated.Where was our mayor orany of her council?
The parade sponsorwas the Tsawwassen TownCentre Mall (read CenturyGroup). Obviously noother comment is needed.
It’s too bad the paradedidn’t end next to theSouthlands, which couldhave been a “jewel inTsawwassen” if not for theNIMBY people.
It has now been decidedto keep it as agricultureuse. Potential uses includegreenhouses, mink farm,pig farm, but of course theprovince has designatedit as “residential” for taxpurposes.
Quite frankly, if I werethe CEO of Century thetrucks would be rolling tofertilize this land for plant-ing. Would we not love thesmell!
We reap what we sow.H. Wallace

Next time you travel onB.C. Highway No. 3 acrossthe southern portion of ourbeautiful province, con-sider taking a side trip toSparwood and drive a shortjaunt up to Elkford.
There is a real connec-tion, of much significance,to our municipality. Elkfordis where the coal shippedfrom Westshore Terminalsat Tsawwassen originatesand the number of trainsthat cross our district everyday hints at the value ofthat traffic.
Nestled against the
mountain range that keepsAlberta where it belongs,the village is the headquar-ters for all the activity thatproduces one of the PattisonGroup’s most profitableventures.
Daughter Susan and Istayed overnight at Fernieand decided to find break-fast where the coal startsthe journey to our port. Wefound a café with a knowl-edgeable waitress, had agood breakfast and learneda lot more about the village.
One feature worthremembering is the methodof extracting the coal elimi-nates the dreadful toll oflives that we hear so muchabout in foreign mines.
Elkford is in the ElkValley and it was a con-struction site. At one stopwe found ourselves in a
herd of 17 creatures, onebull with half a dozen adultfemales and 10 young onescasually searching in therubble of the former con-struction site. They ignoredus, continued their search-ing, so we reciprocated anddrove on.
Waterton Lakes NationalPark is a natural one to visitwhen your route bringsyou near that jewel of ournational parks system. It isone we visited frequentlywhen our family lived atBarons and Susan wanted tobe able to say she visited itthis time.
An afternoon visit is tooshort, but that was all wecould afford. It was greatnews to learn a big chunkof the Flathead Valley isto be added to WatertonLakes.

Huw and CarolynThomas were in SouthDelta Thursday to sharetheir story with theTsawwassen Rotary Club.
The couple plans tospend a year cycling 16,000kilometres (10,000 miles)on a tandem bike to fund-raise for ShelterBox, adisaster relief charity.
They’re looking to stopalong the way and givetalks to Rotary clubs,schools, scout groups andcommunity organizations,“hopefully inspiring themwith what we’ve done andencouraging them to dosomething for the charity,”said Huw.
They leave tomorrowfrom the Vancouver ArtGallery and plan to spendjust under a month cyclingaround B.C. before head-ing into Alberta, south intothe U.S. and then on toNew Zealand, Australia andEurope.
They’re using one of thedisaster relief organization’sboxes, normally filled witha tent and other emergencyitems, to carry their sup-plies on the trip.
The pair from Cornwall,who both used to work forlocal newspapers back in
England, has previous expe-rience with ShelterBox.
Huw did public relationswork for the charity whileCarolyn was a memberof a ShelterBox responseteam that was deployed toPakistan.
For the last couple ofyears they’ve been teachingEnglish in Portugal.
This won’t be their firstbig trip on a tandem bicy-cle. In 2004/05 they cycledabout 9,600 kilometres(6,000 miles) around thecoasts of France, Spain andPortugal.
Huw said they made a
stop in Tsawwassen prior tostarting their trek becauselocal Rotary memberJennifer Kormendy is aShelterBox response teammember.
The local Rotaryclub raised money forShelterBox earlier this yearto help with relief efforts inHaiti.
Visit Huw and Carolyn’sblog at http://tandem10.wordpress.com for more ontheir trek.

South Delta’s future will include“community shaking” changes.“Nothing endures but change,”Heraclitus said.
We have a particular way of talk-ing about change. Letters to theeditor favour those who write well.Public meetings favour folks verballyarticulate. Online surveys requirecomputer literacy. Most processeson a political level have embeddedsafeguards that prevent people speak-ing face-to-face. Dialogue becomesmonologue and the loudest voicescarry the day.
“WWJD” printed on a braceletinvited people to ask the question:“What would Jesus do?”
What would Jesus do to helpSouth Delta negotiate all thischange?
He would invite us to a party, pic-nic or potluck supper. He was known
to eat with people and for really lis-tening. Not the kind of listening thatis so common today — the patroniz-ing, “I’m listening but really I’m for-mulating my rebuttal or put down.”
The children, the vulnerable, theyouth, the aged and the marginal-ized would be welcome. Other racesand faiths would find a place. Thesilenced would be heard. Maybe we’dplay, sing, blow bubbles or fly kites.
Jesus was a trust builder. Godtaught him well. If, as the Bible sug-gests, heaven resembles a magnifi-cent banquet Jesus learned early thatwhen people take time to eat togethertrust grows and fear dissipates.
So, I say less speeches, surveys,articles and studies in favour of morepicnics. After all, Jesus taught us topray “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Wiener Walk at Winskill
Tsawwassen’s WinskillPark will once again behome to the WesternDachshund Club’s annual
Wiener Walk and Picnic.Set for tomorrow, the event,
which features games, a costumeparade and more, will mark its18th year celebrating the diminu-tive breed.
Organizers are sticking withwhat’s worked in the past, notesSusan Lankau, a Tsawwassenresident who’s also the WesternDachshund Club’s secretary.
“I think we have a good rapportwith the people who come, whichis the main thing. It’s not meant tobe a show,” she says.
Lankau, who has threeDachshunds, says she sees someof the same people year after yearand they like to have a visit withher pets.
“People come to see my dogs.Tammy is now 17-and-a-half-years-old. They come and want tosee her.”
There were about 200Dachshunds at last year’s event,which was actually a bit of a dropfrom previous years. Lankauattributed the dip to poor weatherearlier in the day.
“We’ve had at times up to 300,which is a lot. Some people likeme have more than one dog.”But there are others “who comewith one dog and there’s four or
five people with them,” Lankauexplains.
It’s hard to say how many willturn up tomorrow, she says.
The Wiener Walk has alwaysbeen held at Winskill except forthe first few editions that tookplace in Surrey.
Having shade and the enclosedspace make the park an ideal loca-tion, Lankau says.
“Walking around the park issomething we do three times dur-ing the event. It’s very nice andpeople feel comfortable there. Ithink it’s the best place.”
The event starts with a walkaround the park for all the dogsin attendance; a costume paradeand contest caps off the afternoon.Games and contests, like besttrick, longest dog and oldest dog,are also put on.
Dachshunds, known for theirshort legs and long bodies, origi-nated in Germany and have threecoat varieties: smooth hair, wirehair and long hair. The dogs weredeveloped to chase burrow-dwell-ing animals. The breed’s name isGerman and translates to badgerdog.
A Dachshund owner since1964, Lankau says the breed isvery independent.
Participants from across theLower Mainland, other areas ofB.C., Alberta, Washington andas far away as Nova Scotia havecome to the event in the past.
The Wiener Walk and Picnicgoes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
Winskill Park in Tsawwassen.Registration starts around 10:30a.m. and the minimum donation is$5 a dog. Humans get in for free.
There will be a Dachshundinformation table, a silent auction
and a 50/50 draw.Dogs must be on a lead at all
times and have their current vac-cinations. Puppies must be atleast three-months-old to takepart. Other breeds of dogs are not
encouraged to attend.Hotdogs, pop and snacks will
be on sale. Part proceeds go todog-related charities like CKCHealth Foundation and DachshundRescue.

Rocky Mountain yoga
I’ve returned from a mile-high RockyMountain yoga session near ClineRiver, Alta., but haven’t yet come down
to earth.The afterglow of a mountain meadow
yoga class — with 360-degree views andhelicopter access only — has coloured myambivalence to heli-yoga. It is a frivolousbut delicious journey to one’s inner self.Let’s call it yoga candy.
Martha McCallum, of Martha’s Heli-Hikes, brings the day trip with IcefieldHelicopter Tours to new elevations.Certified by the Association of CanadianMountain Guides, McCallum is a wildlifebiologist, master herbalist and Hatha yogateacher. She treats her clients to a satisfy-ing yoga class (even if you can’t touch yourtoes), an organic gourmet lunch, interpreta-tive tidbits and a heart that’s about as openas the expanse of snowy peaks around her.
“Bringing the practice of yoga into themountains allows clients to connect deeplywith their surroundings and get more outof hiking. On other trips, hikers might chatabout their last trip to Hawaii. In heli-yogawe have a deeper feeling of presence - ofbeing here and now.”
From the Cline River Heliport — 42kilometres east of the Icefield Parkway— the six-minute flight on a new A-Star350BA makes a dramatic, exhilarating
approach to our yoga studio in the sky.Avoiding the snow at higher elevations,
McCallum and our pilot, Shane Menzel,choose the 2,200-metre “Wedding Knoll”as the perfect place to land. We slide out ofour seats, crouch on terra firma; six bodies
huddled together for protection against thewind and noise of the rotors. Then Menzellifts the aircraft away, leaving us in suddenstillness and silence.
The transition from flight to yoga is astretch in itself, but McCallum knows how
to ground us. First, she lets the remote-ness of this expanse of icy peaks, greenslopes and shimmering glacial lakes workits magic. As if we are sitting in the bubbleof a snow globe, we look down and aroundand can see forever.
Soon McCallum has us baring our solesand “massaging the earth” with our feet inwalking meditation.
I’m not sure if it’s the altitude affect-ing my thoughts or heightened awareness,but an unfurling of yoga mats beautifullycolour co-ordinates with the deep greensof the bearberry leaves, purple of the saxi-frage flowers, and lime green and orange oflichen. Yoga movements allow for playfulcontact with this heavenly place. In facedown poses, we inhale earthy scents andgaze with a macro lens view of minusculewildflowers. In twists, when our bodies canturn no more, our eyeballs work to drink injust a little more of the panoramic view.
Looking through our legs in “downwarddog” creates a refreshingly childish upside-down perspective on the skyline. The finalresting pose hushes our own sounds, wel-coming birdsong and the thunder of silence.
You won’t find yoga purists hoppingin helicopters to heighten their practice,but heli-yoga is a sweet treat for anyonewishing to deepen their remote wildernessexperience.

In the early years of gar-dening, many of us treatdeadheading as a casual
stroll where we can hold acup of coffee (or glass ofwine) in one hand and pickoff spent flowers with theother.
But later, deadheadingcan become so much more.For container gardenersin summer, deadheadingis also a chance to checkfor pests that can quicklybecome epidemic in hot,dry conditions. Takinga few seconds to checkunderneath three or fourdubious-looking leavescan reveal spider mites orwhitefly before their num-bers become overwhelming.
All annuals bloom longerif deadheaded regularly andif annuals grown for foli-age happen to flower, it’susually best to deadheadthem early. Many foliageplants (coleus is one) have
insignificant flowers andif they’re allowed to makeseed the foliage often dete-riorates.
Some perennials will re-bloom if cut back immedi-ately after the first flush ofbloom. This includes manyhardy geraniums, lupins,snapdragons, Verbenabonariensis, yarrow andalchemilla (Ladies Mantle).
Once summer is wellunder way, gardeners mayconsider neglecting someof the deadheading to pro-vide seedheads for driedarrangements in winter. Thehardy annual Love-in-a-Mist (Nigella) with its seed-heads of red-striped greenglobes is beautiful in vases.Its seed is easy to save andscatter in fall for next year’sdisplay.
But seed-heads that lookso good in garden beds orwinter arrangements canbe a real trap for garden-ers who already have quiteenough dandelions or but-tercups to weed-out anddon’t need thousands ofvolunteer hellebores/teasels/camas/ornamental grassesas well.
The key is to watch
the seedheads and cut theunwanted ones out beforethey get close to sheddingseed.
Gardeners who wantshort-lived perennials topersist in their gardenshould always allow a littleself-seeding. Columbinesand foxgloves fall into thisgroup. But foxgloves needto be cut back before theyturn into an ugly long polecrowned by a little tuft offlowers. Cutting almost thewhole stalk, but leaving afew inches of seed capsulesat the base of the flowerspike ensures a manageableamount of seed to scatterwhere you want more fox-gloves.
Some rampant self-seed-ers need finesse and extratime if seeding is to bestopped while allowing theflower display is to con-tinue. For instance, astrantiablooms in clusters whereindividual florets openover a very long time. Thismeans older florets shouldbe snipped out frequently.

Months of intense training paid off forDelta Deas Rowing Club junior membersKendra Pedersen and Alyssa Hermannas they struck gold in the doubles skillcompetition at the B.C. Summer Games inLangley.
The pair drew gasps from the crowd byperforming their ‘glide’ skill for 30 sec-onds, adding loads of bonus points to theirscore by rotating their oars between verti-cal and horizontal positions over 20 timesas they glided. Other skills included a fig-ure eight, emergency stops, a wide sweepturn and “docking” to a buoy.
Pedersen and Hermann won gold with
the highest overall score by a considerablemargin, with great thanks to their dedi-cated coach, Teri Gambrel.
Other Delta Deas Rowing Club juniorsreached the podium over the weekend aswell. Jake Elward and Mackenzie Baxfieldwon bronze in the mixed quad 1000 metretime trials, and two silvers — one in the500m sprint event, and one in ‘rowdeo’skills. Elward also went on to win a goldmedal in the the men’s double skills.
THe DDRC Junior Program still hasspace left in its learn-to-row summer pro-gram. For information, please email [email protected].

According to the Motor Vehicle Act“a person riding an animal or driving ananimal on a highway has the same rightsand is subject to the duties of the driverof a vehicle” (Part 3, Sec. 120 p(1)(c)
When passing a horse and rider onthe road, drivers should slow down andpass wide. Use even more caution than ifyou were passing a cyclist or pedestrian.Horses are unpredictable and must be givenadditional distance. You definitely do notwant to hit a horse!
Please do not honk your horn or rev yourengine near a horse and rider, and if you’vegot a loud boom box, turn it down. Neverstop or accelerate suddenly which couldstartle the horse. Remember that horsesare animals and not machines and can reactunexpectedly. Be patient, most riders willpull into the nearest driveway to let you past.
You should be extra cautious if you seesomeone leading a horse or riders in agroup. Cyclists and pedestrians should callout when approaching horseback riders.They may not be able to hear you comingover the sound of their horses’ hooves.Bicycles can be especially frightening forhorses. Please pass single file and to theoutside and never go between two horses!
If you have a stroller please stop and letthe horse pass you. Do not approach ahorse with a stroller. Some riders maybehappy to stop and let your pat their horsebut you should be very careful. Do not raiseyour hand to the horse's face – rather patit gently on the neck. Watch out for theirhooves and please don’t feed the horseanything unless given permission by therider.
DOGS & HORSESHorses are prey animals and dogs are
predators, therefore most horses view dogsas a threat – especially loose dogs. For thesafety of all concerned, please make surethat your dog is on a leash when horsesare nearby. Do not let your dog approacha horse. Horses can seriously injure or kill adog with a fast kick.
Riders need to be careful too! Make sureyou obey the rules of the road. Alwayswalk when passing pedestrians. Use handsignals, wear a safety vest for visibility andbe respectful of private property.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections August 8 - 14★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accentfalls on romance, creative urges, speculative risks,charming children, beauty and pleasure. You’reon a winning streak, especially Sunday night toTuesday, so enjoy, take advantage! Chase money,earnings, new clients and shopping bargainsTuesday eve, Wednesday. (But take care Thursday:don’t buy technology.) Relationships face someupheaval, disagreement Monday (when a deep riftis possible) and Thursday, but exciting agreement,attraction Friday/Saturday. You still face a “longclimb” in partnerships, opportunities, relocation, buta potentially successful one!
Taurus April 20-May 20: Seek quiet, rest, coolshade. Your home, family, roots, security, nutrition,gardening, property, soul – these offer good luck allweek, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. However,these three days might also bring a split betweenyou and another – unspoken, perhaps, but sensed.This probably involves work, employment and a legal,ethical or travel situation. (A wee echo of thisThursday,also.) Your creative, romantic side surfaces mid-week– all’s fine here, though you might experience littlemore than a “sweet notion.” Tackle chores – safelyThursday, wholeheartedly Friday/Saturday.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Read, write, travel, call,connect with siblings – luck here Sunday/Monday!The last two weeks brought some confrontations,splits, or problems – or simply a definite change indirection. That’s largely over, but a subtle alienationfrom a loved one (or in a new romance) could occurearly this week – and a not-so subtle rift Thursday.Best idea: if you want to chase romance, wait untilat least Thursday 9 p.m. (PDT) onward. The entiretwo years ahead demand slowness, steadiness andloyalty from you, if you wish to succeed in love. A bigage difference is possible. Rest, mid-week.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, especiallySunday eve to Tuesday. You can meet great luck,opportunity, these few days, and a problem. Thepredicament concerns your home and relationships;don’t let it go underground. (It might resurfaceThursday.) The rest of this week is smooth, easy,a respite from problems. Your home atmosphereis sweet and sour – temper and affection mingle.This might occur because you feel secure, yet yourambitions seem thwarted. To succeed, be ambitiousabout security, real estate, food, cafes or similararenas. (However, stop short of starting any brandnew projects.)
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The problems of the last twoweeks ebb now. However, two remain: the lesserinvolves communications/travel and health/work(mostly Monday). E.g., your car breaks down so youmiss work.The larger dilemma (all week) also involvescommunication/travel,but“pulls in” legal, educational,publishing or international factors.You’ll have to decidebetween facts and ideas, casual communications orprofound issues, near/small or far/large. For instance,do you make a verbal agreement or sign a contract?Love or acquaintanceship? You shine Sunday night toTuesday! Chase money mid-week.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoingprojects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slow-down starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/Monday could solidify a source of income,and/or bringa durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” thathelps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, ifyou allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer youaway from duties or practical goals. Contemplate thedifferent paths of earnings versus investments. Youmight make a choice between these now to mid-2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s goodFriday/Saturday. A good week!
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wishes can come true!Popularity, optimism, social delights, flirtations visityou! (They did the last two weeks, too, but might havebeen obscured by other problems.) Your sexual andromantic magnetism rise another notch. This mingleswith a curious prudence on your part. Net result: youmight have to decide whether to continue charmingsomeone or to subtly retreat, around Monday.Similarly, you might, over the nine days ahead, facethe difference between someone else’s friendlinessand your own caution. There’s no harm (and muchluck) in joining, bonding. Rest mid-week.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious, especiallySunday to Tuesday – but start no new projects. Workto complete, to give ongoing projects a new heave,to mend “prestige fences” with valuable people.Be light, humorous – the problems of the past fewweeks are fading. But don’t expect co-operation:others wish you well, especially mid-week, but theywon’t further your cause. Avoid gossip (and being itsvictim) Monday. Think about a long-term trend (nowto mid-2011): your hands-on work is expanding, butyour management duties are growing heavier. Whichto favour? The hands-on. Rest, Friday.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your natural Augustmood – mellow, broad-minded, yearning for travelor culture – returns nicely, especially Sunday eveto Tuesday. An opportunity could arise to travel afar,attend a college (etc.) or disseminate your ideas– seize it! But be aware of one problem (now tomid-2011): it involves a choice between (or inabilityto merge) your future goals, your cherished wishes,your social life on the one hand, and your creative,speculative, pleasure or romantic urges on the other.E.g., should you choose friends or romance? Save foryour future, or just have fun? You’ll be happy Friday/Saturday!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Mysteries abound,especially Sunday to Tuesday – find out why recentcareer and domestic events or pressures occurred.The answer could be lucrative! Taking a forwardstance, step, could give your ambitions a boost,Tuesday or Thursday eve to Saturday. A congenial,powerful female might play a favourable role. (Thereis also a temperamental, probably male, higher-up,who still needs a diplomatic approach.) Caution wasa good idea the last two weeks, but too much nowcan impede you. Mid-week’s mellow, loving. All week,examine “big finances” – but complete, don’t start.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships assumeprime importance, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday(when a new link might form). You can fight or co-operate; realize that the other person/side holds theaces, the power. In legal, intellectual, international, fartravel, educational and cultural zones, your secrets(or some other thing which you’d rather remainhidden: desires, fears, etc.) can be your weak spot,particularly Tuesday and Thursday. The cure for this(and many things!) is honesty. You will face the needsoon to choose between a profound and a morecasual relationship. The casual’s luckier.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Much work awaits– plunge in and get it done, especially Sunday eveto Tuesday. You might be very hopeful about aninvestment or monetary action, but study underlyingtrends and forces before you leap – for instance,does the economic climate of your nation or localeflow in the same direction as your idea? Maybe. In thesemi-big picture (now to mid-2011) chasing earningsis luckier than relying on investments or otherpeople’s money. Anyway, serious decisions called for.Relationships lure you mid-week. Mysteries, secrets,sexual desires make Friday/Saturday interesting!
