It looks like homemail deliv-ery in Ladner has been sparedfor now.

Canada Post announcedMonday it is temporarily sus-pending its conversion of door-to-door maildelivery tocommunitymailboxes.

“All conver-sions plannedfor NovemberandDecember2015 andthoseannouncedfor 2016 willbe placedon hold,” aspokespersonsaid.

During the federal elec-tion campaign, the victoriousLiberals promised a moratoriumon Canada Post’s plan to elimi-nate home delivery, pendinga review of the postal agency’soperations.

Prime minister-designateJustin Trudeau’s election plat-form, repeated by successfulDelta Liberal candidate CarlaQualtrough, stated that by end-ing door-to-door mail deliveryStephen Harper’s governmentwas asking Canadians to pay

more for less service, which isunacceptable.

However, the Liberals stoppedshort of saying their governmentwould do an about-face and notproceed with the service cancel-lation, let alone reverse the cutsalready implemented to certainCanadian communities.

Home deliv-ery began to bephased out lastyear as a cost-cutting move,a program thatwas to eventu-ally see everyonepick up theirmail at commu-nity mailboxes.

Ladner wasthe first com-munity in theLower Mainlandtargeted, butno timeline was

given when Tsawwassen andNorth Delta would follow suit.

It wasn’t clear if Ladner wouldmake it in time for the newgovernment’s moratorium asCanada Post said it would begininstalling community mailboxesin the area last week.

The Canadian Union of PostalWorkers Fraser Valley West Localthis week said Ladner residentswere scheduled to lose theirhome delivery as of Nov. 16.

“Now is the time forour newly elected primeminister, Justin Trudeau,to contact Canada Postand direct them to imme-diately stop cutting homedelivery,” the union stated.

Canada Post ended upnot waiting for that gov-ernment-imposed morato-rium, saying it would stopthe ongoing conversions.

Pleased with the deci-

sion, Qualtrough said she’sbeen inundated with callsfrom Ladner residents.

“They’re stopping it nowuntil they figure out ourgovernment’s directionand what they can do towork with us. It’s kind ofan interesting relationshipwith them being a CrownCorporation. I can tell youthe number one thing peo-ple have been e-mailingme in the past week has

been this particular issue,”she said.

“Ladner is one of thefirst communities impact-ed by this and as we ulti-mately figure out whathome delivery is going tolook like, it’s only fair forLadner to be part of thatconsideration.”

Canada Post said thatin neighbourhoods wherethe conversion process iscomplete, customers will

still have to collect mailand parcels at their newcommunity mailbox.

“This includes custom-ers set to begin receivingtheir mail and parcels intheir boxes in October,” thepostal service explained.

Community mailboxeshave been a fact of lifefor years for newer hous-ing developments andmulti-family complexes,but approximately 4,900

addresses in Ladner werepoised to join that group.

The spokesperson forCanada Post following theelection stated, “We lookforward to discussing ourplans with the incominggovernment. Our goalcontinues to be securingthe postal service for allCanadians by addressingthe ongoing challengescaused by rapidly declin-ing mail volumes.”

The red wave sweptthrough all of Delta.

Last week’s federal elec-tion saw Justin Trudeau’sLiberals pull off a big winacross the country as wellas claim the once-Conser-vative stronghold of Delta.

Elections Canada beganlate last week releasingpoll-by-poll results forelectoral districts, includ-ing this newly reconfig-ured riding that combinesNorth Delta and SouthDelta.

Those numbers showthat MP-elect CarlaQualtrough of the Liberalswas the choice of voters inall three Delta communi-ties (Ladner, Tsawwassenand North Delta), whichadded up to a more than9,000-vote victory overConservative incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay.

The North Delta num-bers showed Findlay, afirst-termMP who rap-idly rose in the ranks ofStephen Harper’s govern-ment to becomeministerof national revenue, trailby a wide margin.

North Delta had beenpart of Newton-NorthDelta until this election,a riding that had beenheld by the Conservatives(2004), Liberals (2006 and2008) and New Democrats(2011).

Although the NDP wonNewton-North Delta in2011, the Conservativestopped the North Deltapolls four years ago, fol-lowed by the NDP, withthe Liberals trailing inthird. The Conservativecandidate also topped theNorth Delta polls in 2008.

While Findlay’s mar-

gin of loss to Qualtroughin South Delta wasn’t aslarge, the fact she lost at allrepresents a major rever-sal of for-tunes for theConservativesin Ladner andTsawwassen.

Last hav-ing a LiberalMP in the late1960s, SouthDelta hadbeen a so-called “safe”seat for right-of-centre parties, whichusually won by a sizablemargin.

In the 2011 election,Findlay took just over 54per cent of the vote in theriding of Delta-Richmond

East.Dissatisfaction with the

Conservatives coupledwith strategic voting by

New Democrats pushedmany voters to the Liberalsthis time around.

Some election websitesearly on in the campaignpredicted a tight three-way race for Delta, but as

the longest campaign inmodern federal electionhistory dragged on, thingschanged in a big way both

locally andnationally.

UBC politi-cal scienceprofessor MaxCameronsaid theConservativesdamaged them-selves with acampaign thatultimately wenton too long.

“I think a lot of peopleare saying that, that it wasa mistake. First of all, thebig part of the campaignwas derailed for themby the (Mike) Duffy trialand refugee crisis, so they

weren’t getting a whole lotof traction in the first partof the campaign anyway,”he said.

“It gave Justin Trudeau achance to catch his strideand really impress peoplewith his capacity. They(Conservatives) came intothis with a deep war chestand a lot of data, and stilllost. The Conservativesthought all the elementsfavoured them, and some-times they did, but at theend of the day it’s the vot-ers who decide,” Cameronnoted.

He added theConservatives also hurtthemselves with a negativecampaign against Trudeauthat became increasinglyincoherent.

What started out as afundraising event spear-headed by a Tsawwassenmom has quickly turnedinto a worldwide onlineproject aimed at helpingwomen navigate the some-times tumultuous watersof motherhood.

Last spring, Eran Suddsdecided she wanted toorganize a fundraiser tobenefit the Pacific PostPartum Support Society,an organization aimedat sup-portingmothersand theirfamiliesexperi-encingdistress,depres-sion andanxietyduringpregnan-cy or afterthe birth of a child.

Sudds, whose son isnow two-and-a-half,reached out to the societywhen he was just a fewmonths old and she wasgrappling with post-par-tum depression (PPD).

“I didn’t even realizeit was happening,” Suddssaid of those difficultmonths following the birthof her son.

“I had this preconceivednotion of what newmoth-erhood was…,” she said,adding that many peopletold her that bringing achild into the world wouldbe a difficult but rewardingexperience.

“I felt like it was hardbut I didn’t feel like it wasthe most rewarding thingever,” she said.

Last spring, Sudds, aphotographer, decided toorganize a fundraiser forthe society that helped herget through PPD and start-ed planning to do photosessions by donation formoms and their kids.

She said she put out thecall on her Facebook pagelooking for moms and kidsto pose for some promo-tional photos to help mar-ket the event. Two momsvolunteered to come outthe next day. Sudds saidthat as she shared whatshe was going through,both women started talk-

ing about their own strug-gles with PPD or pre-nataldepression.

Sudds said she wasinspired to add a blogaspect to the initiative,which she named TheGoodMother Project, andboth women offered toshare their stories. Suddsadded her own story andthe site took off.

“All of a sudden, peoplewanted to write,” she said.

That was back in Apriland the website has takenoff, garnering widespreadattention in the media and

online. Thesite now hascountlessblog postson a varietyof differentsubject mat-ters — frombirth andbreastfeed-ing to deal-ing withfeelings ofinadequacy,

depression, anxiety andgrief — written by womenfrom all over the world.

“It’s been pretty magi-cal,” Sudds said of thereaction to the website.

She said she’s receivedmany messages of thanksfrommoms for shininga light on PPD and otherstruggles many womenencounter through preg-nancy, birth and every-thing that comes after.

Sudds is organiz-ing another fundrais-ing photo event on Nov.14 in Vancouver at theScotiabank Dance Centrefrom 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.

For a $50 donation,moms will receive a10-minute photo sessionwith their kids.

“We love dads too butthis is specifically just formoms,” Sudds said, add-ing that it’s the moms whoare usually behind thecamera.

Make-up artists will beon hand to do touch ups,she said, and each momwill receive a goodie bagand three black and whitephotos from the session.

Pre-registration isrequired and spaces arefilling up quickly.

With races for mayor,council and schoolboard, a municipalelection can some-times have a bigger

cast than a Broadway musical, whichmeans candidates deserving of support,particularly those running for the firsttime, can often get overlooked.

Scott Hamilton, the Liberal MLA forDelta North, began his political careerwith an unsuccessful run for the Deltaschool board before joining forceswith Mayor Lois Jackson to carve out adecade-long stay on council. His pre-decessor in Delta North, former NDPMLA Guy Gentner, had an equallyinauspicious start, finishing well backin the council race twice before eventu-ally finding success by also hooking hiswagon to Jackson and her rather largecoattails.

I mention this because newMP CarlaQualtrough, the overwhelming choiceamong Delta voters in last week’sfederal election, is another municipalelection alumni, albeit an unsuccessfulone, having finished 13th out of 16 can-didates in the race for school board lastNovember.

So how does someone go from beingan also-ran at the civic level to becom-ing our representative in Ottawa lessthan a year later? Well, I think theanswer to that one says a lot about howwe elect our municipal politicians.

I’m sure Qualtrough was the sameintelligent, articulate woman at thistime last year, yet voters, who it shouldbe noted get seven votes for schoolboard, passed her over, primarily, as isoften the case, in favour of names theyrecognized.

There’s definitely a degree of “rightplace, right time” when it comes topolitical success and there’s no doubtQualtrough benefitted from that thistime around as a rise in Liberal for-tunes coupled with a growing dissatis-faction with the Conservatives createda perfect storm. A competent candidateis needed to take advantage of sucha situation, and Qualtrough certainlyqualifies in that regard, yet she wasequally capable 11 months ago whenfinishing down the list in the schooltrustee race.

I realize there are only so many seatsto go around in any given election, sonot all good candidates can get elected,but sometimes it’s hard to make senseof our political process.

Lost inshuffle

The division of the munici-pality between North Delta andSouth Delta has been long beenan issue around here. You mightcall the division our two soli-tudes. Neither area really knowswhat is happening with the other.With not much chance of BurnsBog ever being developed, thegeographical divide is likely toremain.

The new South FraserPerimeter Road does make travelbetween the two halves of ourmunicipality much easier — aslong as a freight truck hasn’t cho-sen that day to roll over and blockthe highway.

But beyond the North/Southsplit, there are two smaller geo-graphic units that are both asdistinct from the residential areasas they are from each other. Whilemost of the islands in the lowerFraser River delta are part of theCity of Richmond, there are a fewsignificant islands that are partof the Municipality of Delta. Theislands vary immensely depend-ing on whether they are up riveror down river.

Furthest up river is AnnacisIsland, which is primarily anindustrial park. Being on anisland, most Delta residents havelittle to do with Annacis otherthan driving through on the Alex

Fraser Bridge. Prior to the open-ing of the Alex Fraser, AnnacisIsland could not be reacheddirectly from Delta.

South of Annacis is DeasIsland, which is no longer a trueisland. Deas Island was oncehome of a salmon cannery, butthat is long gone and Deas is nowa park heavily used for picnicsand river walks.

It is unfortunate that no indi-cation of the Delta canneriesremains, although some heritagebuildings have been relocated tothe park.

Continuing south is my favour-ite —Westham Island. It isaccessed only by a swing bridgethat has been in service for over100 years. After making it overthe rickety bridge, you encoun-

ter a sign that states the island isprotected by the Westham IslandGun Club. Not the most welcom-ing sign I’ve ever seen, but thelocals are friendly — except forthe occasional Canada goose thatcan be quite aggressive and badtempered.

Westham Island is best knownfor the George Reifel BirdSanctuary, which provides aresting place for migratory birdson the Pacific Flyway. We areapproaching one of the landmarkevents for the birders — the arriv-al of thousands of snow geesemigrating south from Russia.They can often be seen blanket-ing fields on the island.

Beyond the bird sanctuaries,the island is still farmed withmany Delta residents visiting theisland during berry picking sea-son.

There is something rejuvenat-ing about being out on a farm. Itis quiet and peaceful.

And although not a birder, Ienjoy the walk through the birdsanctuary. A short trip down theriver, but a world removed fromthe hustle and bustle of AnnacisIsland.Tom Siba is a former publisher

Editor:The longest election

campaign in more thana century has drawn toa close and we have anewMP to represent usin Ottawa. I wish CarlaQualtrough the best asshe takes on enormousresponsibility and chal-lenges.

Before all that happens,I wish to thank Kerry-Lynne Findlay for herservice over the past four-plus years. In the 33 years Ihave lived in Delta, I mustsay it’s a long time since Ihave experienced an MPwho was so involved in

our community.Her predecessor was

rarely seen at any eventlocally. Not only that, shehad two distinct commu-nities to look after and getto know— South Deltaand Steveston/RichmondEast. South Delta gainedmany enhancementsthanks to her advocacy onour part.

Findlay has demon-strated her intelligenceand commitment over thepast term as our MP. Sheleft behind a successfullaw practice to enter poli-tics, was recognized forher capabilities and given

huge responsibilities inour government. I believethe future is bright forFindlay, and that it won’tbe long before she’ll bechoosing which excitingnew job responsibility todive into. One door closesand new ones open.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay,you have my respect andadmiration. Thank youso much for being ourrepresentative for the pastterm. I expect to hear greatthings about you in thefuture, and I look forwardto helping you in any wayI can.

Joan Hansen

Editor:During the election

campaign, Justin Trudeaupromised to bring 25,000refugees into Canada. Hewill need plenty of helpfrom all Canadians and Ihope he will be successfulin this promise. There areso many refugees in campsthroughout the world, notjust in Syria.

Canadians can helpsponsor refugees throughthe private sponsor-

ship program. Churches,organizations, serviceclubs, “groups of five” andfamilies can do this withfinancial help from theCanadian ImmigrationCommittee.

At Ladner ChristianReformed Church, wehave sponsored three fam-ilies in the last four yearswith success. We wouldlike to invite anyone inter-ested to a refugee sponsor-ship information meeting.

You will be able to find outthe why, how, howmuch,the responsibilities andbenefits of sponsorship.

The meeting will beheld on Thursday, Nov.5 at Ladner ChristianReformed Church, 4594-54A St., at 7:30 p.m. Coffeeis free and so is the infor-mation. We hope to seemany of you there.

Editor:There is a saying in poli-

tics: “Campaigning is poet-ry and governing is prose!”In taking advantage of

the Canadian electorate’smood for political change,Justin Trudeau’s campaignwas pure poetry.

Now that he finds him-

self in the “prosaic” posi-tion of prime minister, heis asking himself: What doI do now?

Editor:On behalf of the Cross

Border Coalition to Stopthe Radio Towers, I wouldlike to thank all the resi-dents and businesses inTsawwassen and PointRoberts for your generoussupport and donationsduring our two-year effortto protect our communi-ties from KRPI’s 50,000-watt AM antenna arrayconsisting of five 150-footantennas.

Together we have raisedapproximately $200,000US to pay our lawyers in

Washington, D.C. andWhatcom County.

We recently won Round3 in Washington SuperiorCourt. Judge Susan K.Cook upheld the rulingby the Whatcom Countyhearing examiner andWhatcom County councilthat found the plannedarray violates PointRoberts zoning codes,making a conditional usepermit for the projectimpossible.

About 50 folks fromboth Tsawwassen andPoint Roberts journeyed to

Skagit County for the hear-ing on Oct. 7. When we gothome we looked up JudgeCook. I think you willfind this information veryinteresting and encourag-ing. In April this year:

Skagit County SuperiorCourt Judge Susan K.Cook has been namedJudge of the Year bythe Washington StateAssociation for Justice. Theaward is given to a judgewho promotes the justicesystem through exercise ofoutstanding judicial rulingor leadership, according

to the organization’s web-site. Cook has served as aSuperior Court judge since1996 and was previously aSuperior Court commis-sioner.

The opposi-tion could try to drag thisout with more appeals,but please be assuredwe are still working tofight this in WhatcomCounty, Washington,DC and through chan-nels in Canada. As manyof you know, we stillhave outstanding legalbills that have recently

been reduced (thank youdonors) to about $17,000.

Please consider sendingin another donation so wecan clear that debt. Sendcheques by mail (PRTA-FTT, P.O. Box 158, PointRoberts, WA 98281),drop off a donation at theUmpqua Bank near theInternational Marketplacein Point Roberts orvisit www.NoTowers.webs.com to donate via PayPalor credit card.

Our members and manyvolunteers have donatedmany thousands of hours

in this mutual effort andyour help with clearingour legal debts would begreatly appreciated.

Editor:A question for the

farming families of SouthDelta: My family weredairy farmers in Ontario,so I take an interest in thecrops I see in South Delta

on my bike tours and com-muting to Vancouver ontransit. Why are there somany “rogue” sunflowersin the fields this fall? Am Imistaken?

Joan Hunter

Editor:It’s wonderful the

Tsawwassen BusinessImprovement Associationis planting 50 trees toreplace those that havedied at the 56th Streetentrance and putting upsigns in order to drawcustomers to the heart ofTsawwassen.

But what will thosecustomers see once theyget to 56th Street and 12thAvenue?

In the southwest corner,the few trees in the Save-On lot are dying. Thereare no trees in front of thestrip mall that hosts theScotiabank and others.And what trees there arein front of the big brownprofessional building havebeen butchered.

In the southeast corner,we’ve got a hardware storethat needs a few trees,a treeless gas station, amoldy recycling store, a

treeless auto repair shop...The northeast corner’s

sidewalk trees seem to bedoing all right, but betterlandscaping and moreshade trees in that parkinglot would help distract theeye from faded asphalt.

The northwest corner:trees are struggling to sur-vive along the sidewalk,and Century’s parking lotalong 56th Street needstrees, as does its park-ing lot off 12th Avenuebetween Thrifty Foods andthe library.

I understand why busi-nesses let trees die or

shorten them with taste-less hacking: they’re afraidcustomers won’t knowthey’re there, but sometasteful street-side signagebetween the trees woulddo the trick.

Perhaps each quadrantcould choose a tree somerchants could adver-tise accordingly: the paintstore in the maples, or thehardware store behind theelms, the bookstore amidthe birches...

We’re looking too muchlike suburbanWinnipeg, abad thing.

Greg J. Edwards

Editor:The Liberals enjoyed a

smashing victory in lastweek’s federal electionbecause they were the onlyparty that tried just a littleharder to connect with thepeople and made somesound promises.

As an older folk myself,I voted Conservative forthe stability, but just as Iwalked to the voting sta-tion, I had an overwhelm-ing feeling the Liberalswould win by a very largemargin. It’s the identi-cal feeling I had for NDPbig gains in the previousfederal election. It givesme some satisfaction themajority thinks as I do.

So here is some advicefor politicians on how tocampaign in the next elec-tion and to journalists onhow to report on them:

We, the people, will decidewho will win. It doesn’tmatter how hard you tryto outmaneuver youropponent, what mattersis if you and your politicalparty have some legitimateoffers for the electorate.

I guarantee my voteand many, many others ifyou build one additionalbridge over the FraserRiver.

We badly need morecrossings on top of thePattullo patching andGeorge Massey Tunnelreplacement. Yes, we willcross faster here but wewill be stuck very shortlyafter at the Knight StreetBridge or Oak StreetBridge.

It would be some-thing exciting for CarlaQualtrough to work on.

Edward Jaworski

Editor:I wish Carla Qualtrough well as she represents

Delta residents in Ottawa.As I see it, Stephen Harper’s moral compass is very

fine tuned and I’m sure he is content with his manyfine achievements brought about by the ConservativeParty as he was able to guide our country over a veryrough period in a very democratic manner that pro-duced respect from his many colleagues and associ-ates.

So far I don’t see a similar moral compass forth-coming from Justin Trudeau that he follows to guidehim, his family and our country in his decision mak-ing in such a manner that will give his soul and spiritcontentment when he reaches the end of his term.

Abe Froese

Celebrating 22 Years of Better Hearing!!

Experts Make the Difference

My house is awash intiny Oh Henry, Kit-Kat andCaramilk bars.

Dozens of little packetsof Smarties have takenup residency on the din-ing room table, alongsidethe M &Ms, the FuzzyPeaches, the Starburstsand the Tootsie Pops.

Fancy some Nerds?Some Junior Mints? SomeSour Patch Kids, DoubleBubbles or Twizzlers? I’mbetting we have those too.

This sweet state ofaffairs is to be expected, ofcourse, given that witch-and-goblin night is justthree sleeps away.

In our household, how-ever, it’s nothing short ofodd. If Halloween historyis to repeat itself this year,we will have perhaps eightor nine fairies, clowns andghosts appearing on thedoorstep. Twelve wouldset a record.

I don’t know why. Afterall, we set out a pumpkinor two. We turn on thelights to let families knowwe’re home. We haverespectable and generousofferings.

No matter. For the mostpart, trick or treaters goelsewhere, leaving us withpounds of unclaimed

candy.“Why don’t we learn

from past years?” I askedthe husband the other day.I was surveying the boxes— yes, the boxes — oftreats at the ready.

“Because,” said the hus-band. “You never know.This might be the yearwhen we’ll have 300 chil-dren.”

OK, so we might get 10— if we’re lucky — but theodds of 300 are remote, tosay the least. We’d have abetter chance of winning atwo-week all-inclusive to acrater-side resort on Pluto.

“But really,” the hus-band persisted. “Wouldn’tit be tragic if this was theyear when we ran out ofcandy?”

Tragic, I pointed out,

was a bit of a stretch. Itmight be unfortunate, oreven regrettable, but ashortage of Skittles wouldnot a tragedy make.

In truth, of course, thehusband would not wantto see 300 children anymore than he would wantto confront a single blood-sucking vampire. Candyfor 300 children, yes. Threehundred children, no.

This is because the hus-band has what you mightcall “an affinity” for Kit-Kats, Caramilks and JuniorMints. The husband, infact, relishes Halloweencandy in much the sameway as a bear relisheshoney: with complete andutter gusto.

Each year, he will gothrough the same routine.

“Oh,” he will say. “Onlyfive children. What ashame.”

His eyes, however, willtell another story, trans-fixed as they will be onthe buckets of unopenedbounty.

This year, I expect, willbe a repeat of years past,with precious few piratesor pumpkins. If hundredsshow up, I’ll be totallyshocked— and start pack-ing my suitcase for Pluto.

Halloween is a fun, and spooky,time of year for kids. Maketrick-or-treating safe for your littlemonsters with a few easy safety tips.

Did you know?Did you know?

Decorations are the first thingto ignite in 900 reported home

fires each year. Two of everyfive of these fires were

started by a candle.

No Person shall ignite, possess, sell or transportFireworks in Delta unless they have a valid FireworksPermit issued by the Delta Fire Department

Each Halloween, thousandsof people, most oftenteens, are injured whileusing consumer fireworks.

The risk of a fireworksinjury is more than twiceas high for childrenages 10-14 as for thegeneral population.

!

!

FACTS

When choosing a costume, stay away fromlong trailing fabric. If your child is wearing amask, make sure the eye holes are largeenough so they can see out.

Provide children with flashlights to carry forlighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.

Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper catchfire easily. Keep all decorations away from openflames and other heat sources like light bulbsand heaters.

Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stickin jack-o-lanterns. If you use a real candle, useextreme caution. Make sure children arewatched at all times when candles are lit. Whenlighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long,fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sureto place lit pumpkins well away from anythingthat can burn and far enough out of way oftrick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.

Remember to keep exits clear of decorationsso nothing blocks escape routes.

Make sure all smoke alarms in thehome are working.

Tell children to stay away from open flamesincluding jack-o-lanterns with candles in them.Be sure they know how to stop, drop and rollif their clothing catches fire. (Have thempractice, stopping immediately, dropping tothe ground, covering their face with hands, androlling over and over to put the flames out.)

If your children aregoing to Halloweenparties at others’homes, have them lookfor ways out of thehome and plan howthey would get out inan emergency.

Trick-or-treat safelyAs thousands of children prepareto embark on their trick-or-treating jaunts in neighborhoodsnear and far, it is best to onceagain revisit safety tips that canhelp ensure this Halloween isenjoyable and injury-free.

• Visibility: Visibility is key when donning aHalloween costume. Children should be dressedin highly visible costumes so drivers can easilysee them. Parents and chaperones also shouldbe dressed in bright colors. Reflective tape andflashlights also make pedestrians more visible tooncoming cars.

• Routes: Children and adults should plantheir trick-or-treating routes ahead of time.

This way they kids can be found quickly if theyare separated from their groups, and parentscan choose safe neighborhoods. Chooseneighborhoods and paths that have the leastamount of automobile traffic.

• Walk, don’t run. Trick-or-treaters shouldstick to sidewalks and only cross the street atintersection crosswalks. Make sure kids know toavoid darting out between cars or cutting acrosslawns and driveways. When darkness sets in,fast-moving children can be difficult to see.

• Visit only lit houses. Residents who don’t wantto answer the door will typically leave theirhomes’ exterior lights off. Only visit homesthat are decorated, bright and welcoming totrick-or-treaters.

• Go in groups. Children should go out ingroups and always be accompanied by anadult chaperone.

• Costume safety: Everyone should wearwell-fitted costumes that do not drag on thefloor or impede mobility. Choose face paint overmasks so that vision is not obscured.

• Beware of fire hazards. Keep clear ofjack-o-lanterns that are lit by real flames.Homeowners can opt for LED lights or other,safer methods of illumination rather thancandles and open flames.

Halloween is an exciting day for youngsters, andfollowing a few safety tips can make the day bothfun and safe.

Earthwise Society cel-ebrated the autumn har-vest at its seventh annualHundred Mile Banquetfundraiser earlier thismonth at the SouthlandsRed Barn in Tsawwassen.

This year’s event soldout in record time, bring-ing together communitysupporters, volunteers andstaff for a foodie’s delight.The five-course meal oflocally sourced and organ-ic ingredients was expertlyprepared by chef DerekBothwell of Chill Winstonrestaurant.

The dinner is the high-light of a year-roundpartnership with theGastown restaurant thatsees Bothwell and his crewvisit Earthwise Society’sorganic teaching farm ona weekly basis to harvestwhat’s in season for theweek’s menu.

“I really enjoy the chal-lenge of working with whatis new and fresh everyweek,” says Bothwell.

The Hundred MileBanquet menu featured

dishes like butternutsquash soup with cuminspiked ricotta dumplings,salt roasted beets preparedin the on-site cob ovenand a blackberry gallettewith honey cream for des-sert.

All courses were pairedwith local wines and beerfrom some of the LowerMainland’s outstand-ing producers, includingCentral City Brewing andWellbrook Winery.

Earthwise Societyhosts this banquet as acommunity celebration of

the abundance and diver-sity of local agriculture.

“Every year, more andmore people are discover-ing that eating local food isnot only good for the envi-ronment, it tastes bettertoo,” says executive direc-tor Patricia Fleming.

In addition to goodfood, the event alsohighlighted many locally-owned and sustainably-operated businesses thatdonated a record-settingnumber of items to thepopular silent auction.Guests were entertainedby local emcee/comedianBilly Mitchell, world musicartists Rio Samaya and theamazing seven-year-oldviolinist Sarah Lee.

The Delta Ice Hawks’ in-sea-son makeover featured anothersignificant move last week asJeremy Poirier made his debut asthe Pacific Junior Hockey Leagueclub’s new head coach.Poirier was behind the bench

in the Hawks’ 7-5 win over theLangley Knights last Thursday.He replaces Kevin Flather, wholasted 13 games after being hiredin the off-season.Flather’s departure reflects the

club’s recent change in owner-ship as Vancouver-based lawyerWes Mussio took controls of thefranchise just over three weeks

ago and is now team president.One of his initial moves wasbringing back Peter Zerbinos asgeneral manager.Poirier andMussio are

connected through theirtime with the VancouverThunderbirds organi-zation where Poirierguided the association’sBantam AAA team toa rare Final Four berthduring the 2012-13 sea-son.The Thunderbirds

also finished secondat the prestigious Kamloops

International tourney that year.Poirier also has spent time

coaching at the North Shore andBurnaby Winter Clubs,as well a district evalu-ator for the B.C. U16program.The Kamloops native,

who co-runs VancouverDynamo SpringHockey, played in theKootenay InternationalJunior “B” HockeyLeague.Through all of the

changes, the Ice Hawksare off to a solid 8-4-0-2 start,

heading into last night’s gamewith the Richmond Sockeyes.Captain Quinten Wideski

notched the game winner inLangley with 6:10 remaining.Michael Rand capped a threepoint night with an insurancegoal and now has 24 points onthe season.Gary Dhaliwal also had a big

outing with two goals and oneassist. Sam Kozlowski and PaulGeorgeopoulos chipped in withthree helpers each.Evan Grannary and Michael

Devils findaway forcrucialwinSouthDelta slips past Jugglers to take big step towards securing playoff berthBY MARK BOOTHmbooth@delta-opt imist

It was not exactly the high-octane performance the SouthDelta Sun Devils have deliveredon a regular basis over the coupleyears, yet it will very likely beenough to get the defendingchampions back to the post-season.The football program at the

Tsawwassen high school isbreathing a little bit easier thisweek after grinding out an 8-7win over the Notre Dame Jugglerslast Saturday. The result was the

Sun Devils’ first win at homein four tries this season and allbut assured them a spot in nextmonth’s AAA provincial playoffs.The game was scoreless until

the fourth quarter thanks to terrif-ic defence and far too many pen-alties, including a pair that wipedout Notre Dame touchdowns.When the renowned East

Vancouver Catholic school finallybroke the deadlock, the strug-gling Sun Devils offence, found ananswer late in the fourth quarterwith a drive near midfield thatconcluded on a one-yard plungefrom Grant McDonald. Michael

Calvert then delivered whatproved to be the game-winningpoints when he just managed tobreak the goalline on the two-point convert.The South Delta defence dug

deep one more time to preservethe win. The unit received a boostwith Charlie Moore coming offthe injured list to play his firstgame of the season.“On paper, we got the job done

but it certainly isn’t a way I wantto be winning a game,” said SunDevils head coach Ray Moon.“Our defence has been prettygood in general all season except

for the fourth quarter and that’sfrom basically being worn down.“On offence we have got away

from what we have doing in thepast for a variety of reasons. Butit’s really hard to run the footballwhen you have become too onedimensional as well. We are goingto try and go back this week towhat we have had success with inthe past.”At 1-2, the Sun Devils can

still finish as high as third in theWestern Conference with roadwins over Belmont (0-3) andNewWest (1-2) to close out theirleague schedule.

South Delta Sun Devils should begood and battle tested when theylook to add another title to their richhistory at this week’s Fraser ValleyAAA Field Hockey Championships inSurrey.

With six guaranteed B.C. berths onthe line, it’s a safe bet the Sun Devilswill be heading to Duncan for nextmonth’s provincial tourney. They alsohave an excellent chance at being inThursday’s title game.

While not seeing much in the wayof resistance in league play, SouthDelta saw plenty of quality opponentsearlier this month at tournaments inVictoria and Vancouver.

At the prestigious Bridgman Cupon the Island, the Devils finishedseventh, a result that included a pairof hard-fought 1-0 pool play lossesto tradition powerhouses CroftonHouse and Handsworth. The lattermatch was played in miserable con-ditions that slowed the play for bothteams.

“The game essentially becameimpossible to play, however the girlsstarted to play with some urgencyand controlled large parts of thegame,” noted South Delta head coach

Neil McLennan.The Sun Devils moved onto clas-

sification play where they dropped a1-0 decision to Argyle, before closingout the tournament with a shootoutwin over Kelowna.

A week later at UBC, injuries andother commitments left the Devilswith no more than 12 players avail-able for any of their games. A steadydiet of more North Shore schools,included a 1-0 win over CarsonGraham, scoreless draws with WestVan and Collingwood, and a 1-0 loss

to Argyle again.“Scoring has been a challenge

for us this season but we are play-ing quite well defensively,” addedMcLennan. “Not sure what will hap-pen (this week). It really depends onour set plays as we struggle to scorefrom the field.”

The Fraser Valley Championshipsalso includes Southern Conferenceteams Sardis, Sullivan Heights, andChilliwack, along with Northern rep-resentatives Gleneagle, Charles Best,Heritage Woods and Centennial.
