Elevated lead levels have nowbeen detected in the drinkingwater at most Delta schools.
The school district issued anadvisory to parents last Friday(http://facilities.deltasd.bc.ca/water-quality) that noted testsrevealed a majority of schoolsexamined showed lead abovethe maximum acceptable level
in “pre-flush” pipe water.The district stated many of
those schools showed “slightlypositive” levels, however, theresults were still above the maxi-mum limit.
Testing continues as leadabove the maximum allow-able limit was found at severalschools after “post-flush” testing.It has prompted the daily flush-ing of some sinks and drinkingfountains and the removal of
others.In South Delta, flushing pro-
tocols remain in effect at SouthPark, Beach Grove, Pebble Hill,Holly, Port Guichon, Hawthorne,Cliff Drive and Ladner elemen-tary schools.DISTRICT: see Page 3

No issues were detectedat Delta Secondary inLadner, so the protocolthere was lifted.
“Facilities staff is active-ly looking into sustain-
able, long-term solutionsfor our drinking water,and will be implementingthese upgrades or changesas soon as possible,” thedistrict stated.
The district firstinformed parents a coupleof weeks ago that elevatedlead levels had beendetected in the drink-
ing water at three olderschools.
The facilities depart-ment put together aninitial mitigation plan thatincluded removing sus-pect drinking fountains,school administrators inolder schools conductingdaily morning flushes ofall pipes, while water test-
ing was conducted in allschools built before 1989.
The district noted thereare no lead pipes in any ofthe schools’ water systems,so the source of the prob-lem is likely external pipesoldering done years ago.
The province earlier thisyear told districts to evalu-ate their water quality and
establish plans.According to Health
Canada, blood lead lev-els of Canadians havedeclined significantly overthe past 30 years, but thereis new scientific evidencethat health effects areoccurring below the cur-rent Canadian blood leadintervention level.

At least she didn’t haveto put up her dukes.
Responding to hercall to put a lid on all theapplause and desk thump-ing MLAs partake in dur-ing question period inthe provincial legislature,Delta South MLA VickiHuntington was met withprolonged desk thumpingand cheering from Liberaland New Democrat politi-cians in the chamber lastweek.
The independentMLA had put forward amotion for the premierand opposition leadersto ban applause duringquestion period, saying itwould have been a smallstep toward improvingdecorum and would allowmore time for questionsand answers.
She noted this springthe legislature will havespent close to three-and-a-half hours on applause,wasting close to 20 min-utes a week. The constantapplause feeds a hyper-partisan tone and drownsout any meaningfulexchange, she said.
This spring, the speakerhas reprimanded MLAsseveral times for their poorbehaviour, Huntingtonadded.
“It is just an easy, quickway to restoring a bit ofdignity and civility to thehouse. Students watchfrom the gallery and areso disturbed by the ado-lescent behaviour. One
told me that they wouldget sent to the princi-pal’s office for acting likemembers do,” she told theOptimist last week.
Huntington said 323years ago the House ofCommons of the UnitedKingdom banned hiss-ing and applause from itsproceedings, eliminatingdisturbances when mem-bers were speaking. Shealso told the legislature
the national assembly inQuebec banned applausefrom question period lastyear.
Delta North LiberalMLA Scott Hamilton saidit’s been a tradition to sup-port your ministers, whilethe opposition supports itscritics.
“Little appreciation hasbeen given to back in 2005when the premier of theday, Gordon Campbell,
actually increased thelength of question periodfrom 15 minutes to 30. Itwas all part of an opengovernment strategy. She(Huntington) says she hasbeen timing it, but whilewe may spend 20 minutesa week clapping, there’s anadditional hour of ques-tion period that neverexisted prior to 2005,”Hamilton said.
Things in the legisla-
ture may seem raucousto Huntington, but theyhaven’t gone as far as whathappened in the NovaScotia legislature threeyears ago when a cabinetminister was charged withassaulting another mem-ber. Politicians there saidthe scuffle between twomen inside a washroomnear the chamber was anembarrassing example of alack of decorum.
MLAcan’t silenceapplauseHuntington’s bid to improvedecorum in legislature doesn’t find any support

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington couldn’t find support on either side of the legislature for her motion to banapplause during question period. She says it wastes time and feeds the partisan nature of the proceedings.

Delta continues to paydown its debt.
In 2015, the munici-pality decreased its debtby $1 million and by theend of 2016 it will be lessthan $300,000, director offinance Karl Preuss toldcivic politicians last week.
The municipality hasnot taken on any new debtsince the 2002 SungodRecreation Centre referen-dum. That debt, which wasapproved by North Deltaresidents and is being paidsolely by homeowners inthat area, will be paid offin 2022. The rest of themunicipality’s generaldebt is scheduled to bepaid off by 2018.
In 2000, Delta’s debt satat $58 million so in 2002the decision was made tofocus on paying down thedebt and moving to a pay-as-you-go system.
Delta’s shrinking debtwas one of several itemscovered last week asPreuss presented theannual audited financialstatements.
Last year was a busyone for the municipal-ity with $38 million incapital improvementscompleted, including theBoundary Bay Airportheritage hangar and run-way improvements, theDugald Morrison turf field,dike works and the expan-sion of the North DeltaRecreation Centre.
It was also a busy yearfor new construction, withmore than $200 million inbuilding permits and newconstruction completed.
“New construction isan essential component,and a good indicator ofeconomic vibrancy of themunicipality,” Preuss said.
In terms of spending,policing remains the singlelargest expenditure for
Delta with 18 per cent ofthe municipality’s totalspending going to policeservices. Delta spent justover $35 million on polic-ing in 2015.
Road and transporta-tion, which includes drain-age, equipment, recovera-ble services and deprecia-tion, was the next highestexpenditure at more than$30 million.
Property taxes account-ed for 55 per cent of themunicipality’s revenue,with user fees, includingutility fees, accounting formost of the rest at 28 percent.
The municipality alsosaw an increase in itsreserve funds last year,with the combined fundsreaching close to $100 mil-lion. Delta has a numberof reserve funds, includingones for Boundary BayAirport, roads, drainage,sewer, capital projects andan emergency fund.
Chasing bad guys with technology!

Delta police Const. Jim Gravel demonstrates the department’s latest technology,StarChase, for Mayor Lois Jackson as well as members of the Delta police boardand Delta Police Foundation. StarChase allows officers to tag a fleeing vehiclewith a GPS tracking device. Police can then track a vehicle from a safe distanceinstead of initiating a potentially dangerous high speed chase. The departmentbegan looking at the technology last year after seeing an increase in the numberof vehicles fleeing from police. Delta is the first department in Canada with thetechnology, which was purchased with the help of the Delta Police Foundation.The technology is currently being installed in eight police cars that will be dis-patched throughout themunicipality.

Watering restrictionswent into place in MetroVancouver over the week-end, two weeks earlierthan usual.
“We learned many les-sons from the droughtlast year, and we’ve beenreviewing our WaterShortage Response Planwith input from resi-dents and businesses toachieve our conservationobjectives while mitigat-ing impacts,” said MetroVancouver board chairGreg Moore.
“As a result, the lawnsprinkling regulations arecommencing two weeksearlier this year and run-
ning two weeks longerbecause they have a pro-found positive impact inreducing consumptionduring the peak demandsummer season.”
Restrictions went intoplace on Sunday and willrun until Oct. 15.
With last year’s hot, dryconditions, the region sawStage 3 water restrictionsfor the first time in morethan a decade.
The situation isn’texpected to go that far thisyear.
“We are in a better posi-tion this year with respectto our water supply,” saidDarrell Mussatto, chair of
Metro Vancouver’s utilitiescommittee.
“If everyone respectsthe sprinkling restrictions,and many chose to simplylet their lawns go dormantknowing they will green-up in the fall, we hope tomeet our conservationtargets without escalatingrestrictions.”
Under Stage 1 regula-tions, residential lawnsprinkling is permittedbetween 4 and 9 a.m. onMondays, Wednesdaysand Saturdays for even-numbered addresses andTuesdays, Thursdays andSundays for odd-num-bered addresses.

A local greenhouse isopening its doors thisweekend to give the publica chance to see how itssophisticated operationworks as part of the thirdannual B.C. Veggie Day.
West Coast VegetablesLtd. in Ladner is using B.C.Veggie Day this Saturdayto educate consumers onwhat’s grown in B.C.’s 42greenhouses.
“When you step insidea greenhouse, you’ll feellike you’ve stepped intoa perfect tropical oasismanaged by science andtechnology,” accordingto the B.C. GreenhouseGrowers Association,which is organizing B.C.Veggie Day.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada notes B.C.is the second largestgreenhouse vegetableproducing province in thecountry. Peppers are theprimary product grown inB.C. greenhouses, whiletomatoes come in second,followed by cucumbers.
All greenhouse veg-etable production inB.C. is destined for thefresh wholesale market.International markets
(mostly the United States)account for about 55 percent of B.C.’s greenhousevegetable sales, while theremaining 45 per cent ofproduct is sold domesti-cally.
According to theCorporation of Delta, thismunicipality representsabout 50 per cent of thegreenhouse vegetable areaat the provincial level.
This Saturday’s openhouse at West CoastVegetables Ltd., 3975-46ASt., takes place from 10a.m. to 2 p.m.
Also having openhouses this Saturday areTopgro Greenhousesin Aldergrove andBakerview Greenhouses inAbbotsford.

Build it and they will not onlycome, they’ll even line upfor it.
If you weren’t convincedthat single family-centric
South Delta lacks housing options,namely townhouses, the scene thatplayed out in Marina Gardens last weeksurely must have changed your mind.After Polygon Homes opened a showhome to launch its Charterhouse devel-opment, buyers were so eager to gettheir hands on the units they started tocamp out, a line that grew to some 35people last Monday, three days beforethey could begin signing on the dottedline.
There are all kinds of reasons whythere would be such interest in thedevelopment, including a riverfrontlocation that’s hard to beat. Adjacent toearlier phases of Marina Gardens, argu-ably Ladner’s most desirable neigh-bourhood, as well as a marina, golfcourse and the Millennium Trail, theunits tick the boxes when it comes tothe three most important factors in realestate — location, location, location.
Throw in the fact they start in themid-$600,000 range, they’re beingconstructed by a reputable builder andthat your housing dollar goes further inSouth Delta than it does in Richmondor Vancouver, and it all adds up toheightened interest.
However, there’s another factor,one that likely trumps all others, thatexplains why a considerable number ofpeople would be willing to line up fordays for the privilege of paying the fullasking price.
A quick scan of South Delta town-house listings on the web earlier thisweek found nine in Ladner and awhopping four in Tsawwassen, whichmeans if you’re looking for a town-house, either due to lifestyle choice orfinancial consideration, you have pre-cious few options.
Getting municipal approval for thefinal phase of Marina Gardens was acontentious process as a portion ofthe development’s existing homeown-ers weren’t keen on the idea of addinghigher density, particularly if it camewith a price tag that wasn’t in keepingwith the neighbourhood.
I suspect some of those feelingsstill exist today, but given the demandthat’s been exhibited for the first waveof these units (there will be 674 in totalin the final phase) it’s easy to see whythey’re being constructed.
They’re indemand
Iremember my childhooddoctor regularly makinghouse calls, a bit like thelovable English veterinar-ian, Dr. James Harriott, did
for his four-legged friends. Rarelywere we referred to clinics, spe-cialists or emergency wards. Weshould be so lucky today.
We need to find new ways totruly care for people’s medicalissues. For instance, maybe housecalls could be done for those whoare so immobilized it is inap-propriate to expect them to cometo the doctor, rather than thereverse. We also need many moregerontologists.
I happen to be one of around7,500 people in South Delta whohave lost or are about to lose theirfamily doctor. South Delta has sixestablished family physicians whohave retired or will retire by theend of July. When you considerfamily doctors have between 800and 1,500 patients, that averagesout to 7,500 folks looking for afamily practitioner.
The bad news is there are nodoctors in South Delta taking newpatients and the new docs com-ing in are going to be “locums,”which I will explain later. Thereare some taking patients in NorthDelta and Richmond. You cando a search on the College ofPhysicians and Surgeons website(www.cpsbc.ca) or you can go towww.fetchbc.ca/delta to get on awaitlist for a South Delta doctor.
The term general practitioner,or GP, seems to have gone the
way of the dodo bird along withmany of their options, such ashospital privileges, the numberof patients they see, howmanyissues they can address per visit,etc.
A family physician is now con-sidered a specialty in medicalschool and requires an extra twoyears of education beyond theeight years they’ve already done.Depending on the specialty,many require an additional two tofive years.
“Locums” are doctors who cando anything family physicianscan do, except be that person youwould see on a regular basis. Thisis bad news for doctor/patientrelationships as there won’t beone. Whatever happened to themovement toward more patient-centered care?

titled How Doctors are Paid inB.C. Reading this will give youquite an insight into what’s wrongand how to fix it.
I quote: “In B.C., doctors… arepaid by an antiquated compensa-tion model called Fee for Service(FFS), which basically reducesmedical visits to a series of bill-able scenarios.”
In defense of locums, a majorconsideration is the huge debtloads graduating doctors are car-rying and their need to pay downthose debts by making lots ofmoney quickly. Locums billingFFS can bill an average of $1,100per day compared to $800 per dayin sessional fees. Out of that theystill have to pay 35 to 40 per centin overhead plus fees and insur-ance.
After seeing 35 to 40 patients,they spend another four to sixhours doing paperwork. Onedoctor said this leaves him feel-ing frantic knowing this is not thebest way to serve those patients’needs.
He said, “You don’t need to payus more, but by paying us flexiblyand allowing room for innova-tion, you may see more familydoctors ready to open a practicein B.C.”

Editor:Re: Park doesn’t need to
be open so late, letter to theeditor, April 29
While I can appreciatethe complaint about a lackof community consulta-tion, I’d like to expressmy opinion onMetroVancouver extendingthe hours of CentennialBeach.
Peter Malim stated thatby having the park openuntil 10 p.m. fromMay31 to Sept. 5, it would beopen “for nearly two hoursafter dark” by September.However, during most ofthose spring and summermonths the sun will not setuntil after 9 p.m. and twi-light will stretch beyond 10p.m. It hardly seems validto advocate for keepingthe closing time of 8 p.m.
due to lack of light.Perhaps we need not
be too worried aboutthe “cover of darkness”welcoming people fromoutside the local area, andinviting crime/vandalismafter all. Furthermore, Ihope we as South Deltanscan stop associating peo-ple from out of town withcrime.
Yes, the extended hoursmay attract teenagers andyoung adults to the beach,but I can think of worseplaces for them to be. Andno, young families (likemine) probably won’t stayuntil the new closing time.However, we may occa-sionally push bedtime past8 p.m. if it means exposingour children to the stun-ning beauty of the bayduring and after sunset.
My family moved toSouth Delta three yearsago and Centennial Beachhas become one of ourlocal favourite places. Onthose rare occasions whenmy wife and I can securea babysitter, our favouritething to do is order take-out from Uptown Eateryand Bar (the sister res-taurant to the CentennialBeach Café and also ourfavourite place to eat inSouth Delta) and take it toCentennial Beach wherewe make a fire and enjoythe sky’s magical display.
On several occasionswe’ve been kindly askedto leave by a parks workeras he prepares to close thegate at 8 p.m. This year welook forward to staying alittle later.

Editor:Re: Major ten-
ants announced forTsawwassen Mills mall,
May 11I read with much
amusement and a bit ofempathy the article on thetenant announcement atTsawwassen Mills.
The statement that cus-tomers will be willing todrive up to two and a halfhours to have this experi-ence is ridiculous.
The promoters of thisventure believe thatpatrons will make the jour-ney through tunnel and
over bridges, some tolled,sit patiently in the extremetraffic conditions, endureborder waits and face thesame or worse going homefor comparable retailchoices that are availablecloser to home.
Granted, the retail vari-ety may not be availablein a “one-stop shopping”environment, but I doubtthe end will justify thejourney.
There will, of course,be the opening days andweeks of initial interest,which will have driverscompeting for parking
spaces.It won’t be long, six
months or less, when onewill arrive to what appearsa very full parking lot onlyto discover only a trickle ofshoppers roaming the vastmall corridors.
Where are all the vehicleowners? Well, they’re onboard a ferry, heading to avariety of destinations forthe day or a weekend orheading out on vacationfrom YVR and enjoyingthe best “perk” this newventure has to offer — freeparking.

With the federal gov-ernment committing tolegalizing marijuana, Deltais making changes to itsbusiness licence bylaw.
Retail sales of thedrug are not currentlypermitted under federallaw, however changes tomedical and recreationalmarijuana are anticipatedso municipal staff recom-mended making amend-
ments to Delta’s licensingregulations.
Delta council gavethe bylaw amendmentapproval this week.
Under the proposedchanges, a marijuana dis-pensary would be subjectto an annual $3,000 busi-ness licence fee, which isthe same basic fee for adating and/or escort ser-vice.
The bylaw also sets outan increase in fines foroperating without a busi-
ness licence and unau-thorized use of a property.
Earlier this year, MayorLois Jackson spoke outabout her concerns afterthe Supreme Court ofCanada ruled the govern-ment’s regulations restrict-ing the rights of medicalmarijuana patients togrow their own cannabiswere an infringement oncharter rights and gave thegovernment six months tocome up with new rules.
In April, the Liberal gov-
ernment announced plansto table legislation to legal-ize marijuana in spring2017.
“We have to be carefulwhat we create,” Jacksonsaid earlier this year. “I’mnot a scientist, I’m not adoctor. We have to waitfor legislation first andwe’ll have to proceed fromthere. I really hope it’sgoing to be something of apositive nature rather thancreating something we willbe taking exception to.”

I can picture every inchof my She Shed.
It has freshly cut flowersand a twinkling chande-lier. It has an overstuffedarmchair and whiteFrench doors and pastelcurtains that flutter in thebreeze. There are vintageteapots and crystal glassesand pillows to recline onwhen naptime calls.
It’s the anti-Man Cave.Men? Hey, they can
have their jukeboxes andtheir pool tables and their200-inch televisions andtheir mini beer fridges. I’lltake a plush white section-al and a wicker rocker andsome geraniums grown ina watering can.
Men can have theirleather recliners and theirdartboards and their pokersets and their boom boxes.I’ll take my silk robe andmy scented candles andmy sweet little built-inspeakers that serenade meall day with Mozart.
Problem is, I don’thave built-in speakers. Orvintage teapots. Or a twin-kling chandelier.
I don’t have a plushwhite sectional, or even aplush green or plush yel-low sectional.
I have geraniums, butthey’re in a basket hanging
out front.I have pillows, but
they’re on the bed, directlybeneath the headboard.
I have a shed, but it’sstuffed with all mannerof things, none of whichspeaks to me. The lawnmower. The winter tires.The power washer. Thepruning shears.
The tool kit, the shovel,the drill.
Not terribly romantic, ifyou ask me.
“We need to empty theshed,” I told the husband.
“I know,” he said. “Itneeds a good re-org.”
“No,” I said. “I don’tthink you get my drift. Weneed to empty the shed.”
He looked at me, decid-edly confused.
“Maybe I’mmissingsomething here,” he said,
“but where would we keep,oh, the lawnmower?”
I shrugged my shoul-ders.
“I don’t know,” I said.“We’ll figure that out. Butthe point is, we need tomake space for my arm-chair and chandelier.”
The husband lookedreally, really, really con-fused. The husband, let’sjust say, had not yet heardabout my longing for a SheShed.
I had suspected, rightfrom the get go, that thehusband was going tobe less than enthusiasticwhen I suggested we turnthe garden shed into anultra feminine getaway foryours truly.
I was absolutely right.“So,” he said, scratching
his head. “You want to puta chandelier in the shed?And a chair?”
“And a sectional,” I said.“And candles. And lots andlots of pillows.”
The husband nodded,but clearly didn’t under-stand.
Turning my vision intoreality, it occurred to me,would take a bit of work,so I’m going to start small.Tomorrow, I take the drillfrom the shed, and put ina teapot instead.

A: Thanks for the great question. #GETLOUD is our commitmenthere at the Medicine Shoppe to support the Canadian Mental HealthAssociation’s May awareness campaign.

Itmeans using our and your voice to raise awareness andbuild support for your yourself, family members, friends, neighbours oranyone with a mental illness. In Canada, one in four seniors suffer froma mental illness and, as our population ages, this number is expectedto increase dramatically. This means in OUR community, a minimumof 25% of our seniors are suffering from depression, anxiety, dementiaor substance abuse/addiction. The stigma around mental health issuesdoes prevent some from reaching out for help – our goal is to breakthe stigma and, working alongside your care team, provide as muchsupport as possible during the treatment & recovery periods. Comespeak with us about how we can best support you and your loved onesduring this challenging period of their life.

QUESTION:What is a cavity?
ANSWER:Last month I talked about how a cavity was similar to rust in acar. The longer the cavity is left, the bigger it gets. How does acavity become a cavity in the first place? When bacteria is leftundisturbed the bacteria grows and grows, as it would in a petridish. The bacteria in the mouth consume the sugars from thefoods we eat and the by-products that they produce is acidic. Thisacid demineralizes the enamel and gives the bacteria a chance togrow in the holes that are created due to that demineralization.Everyone is different, and so is the bacteria that we have in ourmouth. There are many different strands of bacteria, some aremore aggressive than others and need intervention to restore thehealth of the mouth. Brushing with a fluoridated toothpaste helpsto strengthen enamel which makes it harder for the bacteria todemineralize the surface. Flossing helps to disturb the bacterialcolonies in the areas that the toothbrush cannot reach like betweenthe teeth and under the gum. A fluoride mouthrinse can be helpfulfor some people as well. Every mouth has bacteria, but the morethat they are disrupted, the better chance you have in avoidingthose cavities. And with regular checkups and cleanings it is easierto catch those cavities in their early stages.

ANSWER:YES! Recent government changes havetipped their hand toward those with goodcredit. When it comes to buyers with lessthan 20% down the government will allowthose with higher credit scores able to affordmore. Remember that your credit score is notonly impacted by how timely you make yourpayments but also how close you are to yourcredit card limits and how often creditors makeenquiries on your credit file.

QUESTION
I’m concerned that wearing hearing aids will make mestand out. Is there a way to avoid this?
ANSWER
It’s normal to be concerned about how yourappearance may be affected by the addition of hearingaids. However, compensating for a hearing loss byasking people to repeat themselves, inappropriatelyresponding to people (or not responding at all), or evenwithdrawing from social situations is more obvious thanwearing hearing aids!
Rest assured that today’s hearing aids are small,discreet and more stylish than ever before. Some areeven invisible.
Moreover, chances are that once you have a hearing aid,your quality of life will improve so much that cosmeticswon’t be as much of an issue for you. Treatment ofhearing loss has been shown to improve:
• Communication in relationships• Intimacy and warmth in family relationships• Ease in communication• Earning power• Sense of control over your life• Social participation• Emotional stability

QUESTION:I overheard you telling someone that gold really high.It does not seem high when I listen to the radio.
ANSWER:Gold and silver are at 6 month highs in US dollars.Gold is very close to $1300.00 US dollars ($1620.00 Canadian).That is a one year high in US dollars but not in Canadian dollars.However since gold was at $1050.00 US ($1420.00 CDN) in the middle of December theseare very strong increases.
Silver is also increased to yearly highs in both US and Canadian dollars.In December Silver was $14.00 US and $18.50 Canadian .For the end of April Silver has reached $17.91 US and $22.75 Canadian.
We have seen large increases in our business in both the buying and selling of gold andsilver. This weekend we were able to pay over $10.00 per ounce more than the largestdealers in Canada and we were selling at $5.00 less than they were.With silver this week we sold a large client silver at 50 cents an ounce less than our biggestcompetitors.That may not sound like a big difference but it saved him $500.00 dollars.
If you are thinking of buying or selling gold or silver bullion you should compare with usand do better.We still but scrap gold jewelry and pay the highest in Richmond by far.
QUESTIONPaul,When I flush my toilet I hear a hollow, thumping soundcoming frommy bathtub drain.This toilet has never workedvery well.Do you think something might be plugged up.Gene L,Richmond.
ANSWER:Hi Gene,The first place we would look is the toilet. Is something lodged insideit? A child’s toy,a bottle cap? It will still work in many cases,but notwork very well.Removing the toilet, and inspecting the trap will usuallyconfirm if there is an obstruction.The next thing we would look for is aplugged plumbing vent. In order for the drains in your home to work,they need to be able to draw in air. If you look on top of your roof, youwill most likely see one or more black or grey pipes in the vicinityof your bathroom or kitchen.These are your plumbing vents. If theybecome plugged, that hollow thumping noise you hear coming fromyour bathtub, is air being sucked in through the bathtub overflow.This is a good indicator that you’ve got a plugged plumbing vent.In single family homes,auguring the plumbing vents down from yourroof,will usually clear this up. In multi-unit complexes,we follow this upwith hi-pressure water flushing.Your toilet will work like a charm,(and without the added sound effects.)

QUESTION:Are we better off Renovating or Re-Locating? That’s the Big Money question!
ANSWER:For obvious reasons your realtor will make a good case to simply re-locate (ah, but notso simple!) Conversely, a good Renovator can take that existing house and make it yourDream Home! In my opinion there are 3 main factors to consider:1. Do we enjoy living in our present location, as it is a lot of work and expense to re-locate.2. Can we work with this existing house and bring our ideas to life here.3. How long do we foresee ourselves in this location.All very important considerations indeed! First is going to be personal for each family andI just take into consideration the upheaval involved to re-locate.Second is where consultation with a professional Renovator can help you in there-configuration or addition to your existing layout.Third and most important with regards to your investment in any renovation is yourcommitment to location.If you have a short 1-3 year plan in mind then cosmetics and immediate repairs only oryou risk losing most of your investment. If you foresee a 5-10 year stay then I feel youare safe in the 50K to 150K investment into your property upgrades as you are nowrenovating to increase the value in your home plus adding livability and quality to yourlifestyle!Beyond that time frame it’s only about wants vs. needs and the total affordability of yourDream Project!

Where quality counts
Q: Has the market shown any signs of slowing down?
A: As you have probably noticed, the South Delta marketexperienced exponential price increases over the last12 months due to high demand for the area and limitedsupply. Due to the high levels of activity in the Vancouverand Richmond markets (strong influencers of the SouthDelta market), and from the announcements of majortransportation upgrades and new amenities coming soon(namely the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project,South Fraser Perimeter Road completion & TsawwassenMills/Commons Shopping Mall Construction) there hasbeen an added interest from buyers coming fromVancouver,Richmond and other cities north of the Fraser River. Asa result, in 2015, Tsawwassen finished #1 in average saleprice percentage gain for all cities in the entire Real EstateBoard of Greater Vancouver! The entire South Delta marketsaw many homes sell at a pace that exceeded new listingscausing an extremely low listing inventory throughoutmuch of the year. So far in 2016, with many sellers hopingto capitalize on the recent gains, inventory has grown backto more normal levels when the market was more balancedslowing the dramatic month over month increases seenin 2015.

Q: How can my discussions with my doctor affectmy ICBC claim?A: Two of the most important aspects of your ICBC claim are what your doctor tells youand what you tell your doctor.
When another driver causes you to suffer injuries or other losses, ICBC is required tomake things right by compensating you for your injuries and losses. However, you arealso required to take reasonable steps to minimize those injuries and losses. For example,if you suffer a back injury, your doctor might refer you for 12 sessions of physiotherapy. Ifyou choose not to act on that referral but complain of back pain a year later, there’s a goodchance that ICBC will argue that you are largely responsible for that continuing back painsince it probably could have been avoided by undergoing the treatment that your doctorhad recommended to you. Ultimately ICBC will not be on the hook for persistent injuriesthat would have resolved had you followed your doctor’s advice.
Paying attention to what you tell your doctor is equally important. While there is somevalue in simply telling ICBC that you are still experiencing a certain condition or symptom,it is much more valuable to be able to draw ICBC’s attention to the fact that you haverepeatedly been making a similar complaint over a period of time.This can only be doneif your doctor’s records show that you have continually been making that complaint,and the records will only show the complaint if you have been verbally expressing thecomplaint to your doctor.To ensure that your records are comprehensive, see your doctorregularly and always be candid about what you are experiencing.

Odyssey of the Mind isan educational programthat challenges studentsto be creative in how theyapproach problem solving.Teams are given a prob-lem and a guideline butno direction as to how thechallenge should be com-pleted.
Kim Tjoe, a coach ofone of the teams, says thecompetition is a uniqueopportunity for students.
“Nowhere else in theireducation do they get thechance to drive the bus.They have to figure outhow they’re going to do it.”
Students JordanNykoluk, Ishmael Cordero,Justin Newfield, CarsonLee, Joshua Cho, PeterLauinger, Ryan Tjoe,Aaron Coschizza, MichaelLowndes, Ben Christianand Karl Lacasse will beattending the competi-tion, which takes placeMay 25 to 28 at Iowa StateUniversity in Ames.
Over 800 teams from 14
countries will compete inthe 37th Odyssey of theMind World Finals, whichhas grown into the larg-est international creativeproblem-solving competi-tion.
The two Sacred Heartteams qualified by win-ning gold medals at aprovincial competition lastmonth.
Students have begunfundraising to help coverthe cost of the trip, whichis estimated at $19,000.So far, two companieshave stepped up to sup-port the group, includingAgnes Douglas of OdlumBrown Limited and DueckRichmond, which is run-ning a charity test driveevent.

Q: I have been wearing dentures for manyyears and they are to the point thatmy gums are extremely sore and red:what can I do?
A: Soft tissue management is the answer you areseeking. Rehabilitation of soft tissues is primary.First, your dentures require cleaning to removeoffensive organisms that may be contributing tothe inflammation and edema (swelling). Tissueconditioners (temporary soft lining material)are placed on the tissue fitting surface of yourdentures to provide a clean positive adaptationto your gum tissues. Healing begins and yourtissues are reassessed in a week to confirm theprogress of healing. Generally a second and orthird tissue conditioner may need to be appliedbefore proceeding to the construction of newdentures. New dentures promote a healthy cleanfitting surface for many years. If you have anyquestions regarding this procedure or any otherdenture related subject, please book your freeconsultation with us.
Q:What are the most common signs andsymptoms of sleep apnea?

Q: We’ve been considering doing wood shuttersfor years.A friend of mine recently purchased vinylshutters. What’s the difference and why would Ichoose one over the other?
A: Shutters are timeless. Like anything though, they haveevolved. Companies have explored ways of making them lessexpensive, more durable and resistant to the elements. Theresult was a shutter product made from extruded vinyl/PVC.Manufacturers brand their vinyl shutters with different nameslike “PolySatin”, “PolySilk”, “PolyResin” to name a few butthey’re all basically the same. They do tend to be heavy and theyaren’t quite as strong as wood but the advantage is you can getthem wet. Wood on the other hand is…well…wood! It’s strong,durable, lightweight and easy to repair. My suggestion is unlessthese are going outside, and if you’re looking to keep these for along time, wood is the best way to go.

Ladner’s ErkampscaptainsBrandon toWHL titleMacoy Erkamps will conclude his junior
hockey career on the sport’s biggest stage inCanada.
The 21-year-old blueliner from Ladner hascaptained the BrandonWheat Kings to theirfirst Western Hockey League championshipsince 1996 after an 8-4 game five victory overthe Seattle Thunderbirds on Friday night inKent, WA.
The Wheat Kings nowmove on to theMemorial Cup national major junior champi-onships where they will be up champions fromthe Ontario and Quebec leagues, along with thehost Red Deer Rebels.
Erkamps chipped in with a goal in the clinch-ing game to finish the WHL playoffs with 14points in 21 games. He earlier had a huge regu-lar season with 71 points in 72 games, including13 goals. That earned him a three-year entrylevel contract with the Ottawa Senators.
“Getting drafted in the league, you neverthink something like this is possible,” saidErkamps. “We had a good group last year andthat paved the way for this year. There are justso many guys who stepped up and made a hugeimpact.
“There is no words to explain this feelingright now and I’m so happy to be sharing thiswith these guys, the coaching staff and the cityof Brandon.
Erkamps spent much of the season playingalongside Philadelphia Flyers 2015 first roundpick Ivan Provorov.
His decorated career includes helping U16Team B.C. win gold for the first time in 32 yearsat the 2011 Canada Winter Games.
The Wheat Kings topped the EasternConference with a 46-24-1-1 record and wonprevious series against Edmonton (4-2), MooseJaw (4-1) and Red Deer (4-1) to reach the WHLfinals.
The Memorial Cup starts Thursday and runsuntil May 29.
Brandon participated in the 2010 tourna-ment as hosts and lost 9-1 to Windsor in thechampionship game.
Next stop for Macoy Erkamps is theMemorial Cup in Red Deer.
McNamarasearnbronzeatWorldsHectic stretch for Tsawwassen twins after outstanding freshmanyear at UCLA
Nicole and MeganMcNamara can at lastcatch their breath afterthree competitions in asmany weeks that took themacross the globe.
Coming off outstand-ing freshman seasons atUCLA, the beach volleyballstandouts won bronzeMonday representingCanada at the FIVB U21World Championships inLucerne.
The twins fromTsawwassen arrived inSwitzerland just threedays after competingat the inaugural NCAAChampionships inAlabama. The whirlwindstretch began with the Pac12 Championships 17 daysearlier in Los Angeles.
The McNamaras eventried to squeeze in somefamily vacation time withtheir mom and dad andgrandparents also makingthe trip to Europe.
“Our whole family ishere. So we might take abreak off from the wholevolleyball scene and dosomething touristy. EnjoySwitzerland,” said Megan.“Having our family herehelps, it’s a stress relieverto just be able to hugour mom and dad or ourgrandparents.”
The girls likely neededmore quality family timeafter their two matcheswent the distance toclose out the WorldChampionships.
First up was a three-setsemi-final heartbreakerto the Russian team ofNadezda Makroguzova and
Svetlana Kholomina. TheMcNamaras dropped thefirst game but then extend-ed the match with a 21-15win, before falling 15-13 inthe deciding set.
There was little time toregroup with the bronzemedal match taking placejust hours later and it hap-pened to be against UCLAteammates Sarah Sponciland Torrey VanWinden,representing the UnitedStates.
The McNamaras wardedoff three American matchpoints in the second set towin it at their first set point
23-21. This proved theturning point in the matchas they continued theirgood play in the tiebreakwith a 15-10 triumph.
“It’s always hard comingoff of a really tough loss inthe semi-finals,” Megansaid. “So we really had tobounce back and be strong.But we just decided thatif we’re going to be disap-pointed about our loss inthe semi-finals it shouldbe tonight and not rightbefore another big medalgame. So we just thoughtabout how great it wouldbe to be on the podium.”
The twins had put them-selves in medal contentionwith an impressive 2-0win over Paraguay’s ErikaMongelos Bobadilla andMichelle Valiente Amarillain the quarter-finals.
It is the second FIVBbronze for the sisters. Theyalso placed third at the2014 U19 Worlds in Porto.In that same year they hada 17th place finish at theU21. It’s the third medalfor Canada in the women’sU21 history.
The South DeltaSecondary School gradu-ates wasted little time in
establishing themselves asthe top team at UCLA.
They helped the No. 4Bruins enjoy at great run atthe NCAA Championshipsbefore falling to No. 1Florida State and becamejust the second and thirdplayers in the program’shistory to be named tothe American VolleyballCoaches Association All-American Team.
The national awardcame after both girls wereselected to the Pac-12 All-Conference Team. Meganwas also named Pac 12Freshman of the Year.

EMSLEY, Angela Frances (nee Leach)January 29 1944 - May 13 2016
Angela, born in the UK in 1944 to Dossy andGeorge Leach, passed away at her home in BeachGrove, South Delta, BC on May 13 2016, havingbeing diagnosed with Cancer in January 2016.During her illness she was happy to be visited byfamily and many of her close friends. She remainedcheery and positive throughout. She died peacefully,surrounded by her family, as we said the Lord’sPrayer together at her bedside.
Angela, Roger and their infant daughter Kirsty,emigrated to Canada on June 3 1967. They settledin Beach Grove in 1968, and from then on alwayslived in South Delta. Angela and family soon becamemembers of the Benediction Lutheran Churchcongregation. Their second daughter, Tara wasborn in 1969. Angela quickly became active in thecommunity. She started working for George HodginsRealty as a legal assistant and then became licensedas a Realtor - a career which she continued untilretiring in 2000. Her Christian faith was very importantto her. At Benediction Lutheran Church shecontributed her time and talents and was a memberof several committees, serving on Church Counciland later being elected as Chairman of the BenedictionCouncil, serving two terms in the 1980s. She alsoattended and enjoyed mid-week services at AllSaints Anglican Church in Ladner. Her three maininterests were her horses, dogs and gardening. In1984 the family moved to Grove Farm in Ladner,where they could board their daughters’ horses.One of their horses gave birth at their farm to a foal,Sunschein, and she and daughter Tara enjoyedriding him around Boundary Bay. Angela ran ahorse boarding stable and later a bed and breakfastat the farm. In 2007 Angela and Roger sold theirfarm and moved back to Beach Grove. She lovedwalking our various dogs, which she did mostdays. With our current dog Rosie, she joined anavid group of neighbourhood dog walkers, meetingevery morning to walk the Boundary Bay dyke.Her other joy was her garden, which is a colourfulpicture and occupied much of her time in springand summer.
Angela and Roger also enjoyed travelling and visitedmany countries together. Their last two trips in thefall of 2015 were to French Polynesia and then toMexico in December.
She remained active and fit until January 2016when she was diagnosed with cancer. Despiteexcellent treatment at the BC Cancer clinic herillness overcame her. Our thanks go out to all thedoctors, nurses, and home care nurses fromFraser Health, who took wonderful care of Angela.Thanks also to Pastor Thomas Keeley and toReverend Graham Witcher for their loving support,to our exceptionally caring community and especiallyto the congregation at Benediction, who supportedus with their many kindnesses and kept us well fedwith offerings of wonderful food.
Angi is lovingly remembered by her husband Roger,her daughter Kirsty and her husband Cory, andsons Harrison and Parker, and by her daughter Tara,husband Mike, daughters Kate and Emma and sonJack. She is survived and fondly remembered byher brother Paul, partner Maggie and their children,also by her sister-in-law Viv, husband Bob and theirchildren and grandchildren, who all live in the UK,as well as a number of very close family friends.
The Funeral will take place on Monday, May 23, at1:00 pm at Benediction Lutheran Church, 5575 6thAvenue, Delta, BC. In lieu of flowers please donateto Canadian Lutheran World Relief or to a charity ofyour choice.
