Ian Paton, who won Saturday’s Delta council by-election, is sounding the alarm over the impact heavy rainfall has had on local crops. He said Delta farmers are going to lose in the millions because harvesters can’t get into the saturated fields.
Ian Paton claims council seat Ladner gets its representative in Saturday by-election; farmer immediately shines light on disastrous situation SANDOR GYARMATI
sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com
A farmer is back on Delta council. In his first shot at political office, Ladner farmer and auctioneer Ian Paton won Saturday’s by-election, fending off a strong challenge from Sylvia Bishop. It was an eight-person race to fill the seat left vacant by the sudden death of councillor George Hawksworth this spring. The only candidate from Ladner, and now the only councillor from the community, Paton is also the first representative from the farming community on council since John Savage left for pro-
vincial politics in the late 1980s. Paton, who won due in large part to his overwhelming showing at the Ladner polls, wasn’t about to celebrate and made it clear in an interview Monday how farming issues will be made more public. When asked about his thoughts on the election, he instead shifted the topic to this month’s torrential rainfall, which has become “an absolute disaster” for Delta farmers. “The number one topic in Delta right now should be that the farmers are going to lose in the millions of dollars in crops this fall, based on the rain we’ve had. This is just insane and these fields are
so saturated with water,” he said. “They can no longer get the harvesters in the fields to get beans, turnips, potatoes, it’s just a complete wipeout. Pete Guichon

was telling me this is probably the biggest financial loss Delta farmers will probably face in the last 40 years.” When the time comes for relief, Delta council may have to lobby the government to aid local farmers, noted Paton. “The chances of things turning around here right now are abso-
lutely slim to none. For instance, I have $25,000 worth of hay sitting in the field I haven’t been able to cut in September because you have to have hot weather. I’m looking at a huge financial loss.” Paton took that message to Monday night’s council meeting. While he is not at the council table yet — he will be sworn in Oct. 4 — Paton observed the meeting from the audience and spoke to council about the current problems facing Delta farmers. “We’re facing a situation of huge magnitude,” Paton said, telling council this is the worst fall for rain and wet fields in 35 years. After hearing from Delta’s newest elected official, council agreed
to approach B.C. Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson to initiate talks about what can be done to help farmers. Back on the topic of his byelection victory, Paton said he had no idea how things would unfold with so many candidates in the race. “The first thing that came up on the screen on Delta Cable was the advance voting polls and it put me ahead right away. I thought that was a pretty good sign,” he said. “The support was unbelievable and I just can’t thank the people of Ladner and Tsawwassen See PATON page 3

Bishop’s bid comes up just short Strong support in Tsawwassen and North Delta isn’t enough to overcome winner’s huge returns in Ladner BY

Amy Ghuman Sara was the choice in several North Delta polls, but didn’t receive much support in Ladner or Tsawwassen.
topping one poll. This time around, she topped five polls, including the advanced one. However, her numbers slipped considerably in South Delta. “There was only one seat available, so I guess I’ll have to work harder on that and be in the community and make inroads in the south,” she said. “We have to make connections between the north and south. What I’ve learned in this by-election was there was a north-south disconnection. We are one city and let’s not divide our-
selves.” Kathleen Higgins, also a candidate from North Delta, finished in sixth with 6.7 per cent of the vote, a showing she said is disappointing, although she’s pleased she managed to get her message across on issues such as affordable housing. Higgins isn’t prepared to say whether she would be a candidate in the next election, but plans to remain involved in the community, including hopefully getting a membership on the North Delta Area Plan committee
farming community would be represented on council once again. “I am happy Ian will be there filling the seat, particularly because he is from Ladner and, of course, George Hawksworth was
from Ladner as well, and can certainly represent the people from that community very well,” she said. “Despite the fact we are councillors-at-large, he has great depth in terms of his farming background and
certainly will help us.” Delta’s agricultural advisory committee is undertaking a viability study on farming and Paton should make some significant contributions, said the fourterm mayor.
The consultant undertaking the study is to provide an update for council, which will have Paton on board, next month. Roughly 46 per cent of Delta’s land base is agricultural.

However, her margin over Paton in those two communities wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the overwhelming support Paton received in Ladner, where he won all seven polls, many by large margins. Despite her strong showing, Bishop didn’t want to say whether she would run in the November 2011 general election. “Right now I have to recoup and regroup. I’ll

return to private life while keeping an interest in all things that are going on in Delta,” she said. Saying she was pleased and grateful for the support she received in her community, Ghuman Sara, who finished fifth with 8.49 per cent of the overall vote, admitted she would have to improve her profile in South Delta by the next election. Ghuman Sara ran for municipal office for the first time in 2008, appearing in the top six in a few areas of North Delta and
Higgins said she wants several key topics kept in the spotlight in Delta, including the critical issue of dredging in Ladner Harbour and the secondary channels. Maria DeVries finished third in the voting with 12.82 per cent, followed by Sandeep Pandher at 9.37 per cent. Peter Harms and Ray Robinson rounded out the voting, finishing seventh and eighth respectively, each garnering less than one per cent. Just prior to Saturday’s vote, Harms said the byelection was a good learning experience on how to manage a campaign. The voter turnout was just under 25 per cent, not too far off the 30 per cent that voted in the 2008 general election.
Mayor Lois Jackson, one of four council members to endorse Paton during the campaign, said she was pleased a member of the

The final result was a disappointment but the campaign was a good one, says Sylvia Bishop, who finished second in Saturday’s by-election. “I want to say how very proud I was of the campaign that was mustered by all of my volunteers and supporters. I think we really raised the bar,” said Bishop, who received notable endorsements from the likes of TriDelta and Southlands the Facts. “When the mayor had to go and find a credible candidate to add to the race months after I was already a candidate, I think that says a lot about the calibre of the campaign we ran,” she said. Garnering 4,630 votes, Bishop finished second with more than 27 per cent of the popular vote. Winner Ian Paton, who was endorsed by Mayor Lois Jackson’s Delta Independent Voters Association, received 5,752 votes for almost 34 per cent of the popular vote. The by-election had eight candidates, but it was clear as the numbers came in Saturday the race was a battle between Bishop and Paton in South Delta, while Amy Ghuman Sara proved to be a factor in North Delta. Bishop had higher numbers than Paton in Tsawwassen, topping five polls compared to his two. She also had higher num-

Delta officer leads Cops for Cancer team on valley ride

Ken Usipiuk’s charges begin nine-day, 800-kilometre odyssey tomorrow For just about every rider on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley team, there’s a trigger that will cause tears to well up in their eyes. For team captain Ken Usipiuk, it’s visiting schools that junior team members used to attend. “The ones that may have lost their battle,” Usipiuk, a Delta police constable, says. He’s thinking of children who have died of cancer. The ride he’s about to lead raises money in the hopes more and more children will win those battles. Usipiuk and 20 other riders will put feet to pedals tomorrow and begin a nine-day, 800-kilometre ride from Delta to Boston Bar and back again. They’ve already raised more than $180,000, but they’ll stop at schools and businesses to pick up more cheques and raise awareness about cancer prevention. The riders are largely police officers, both municipal and RCMP, along with other emergency responders such as ambulance paramedics, sheriffs and corrections officials. The ride, organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, raises money for pediatric cancer research, support for families of children in treatment and Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp
for kids in treatment or remission. Usipiuk got involved in the charity ride through a friend who was taking part. After a year as a member of the support staff, Usipiuk has been a rider for the past four years. He says his family won’t know what to do with their time now that he isn’t raising money.

“It’s going to be hard for me to step down from this,” Usipiuk says. He points out that it isn’t just the riders who are responsible for the money raised. Every one of them has a support network of friends and family, not to mention some very forgiving bosses. The ride kicks off at North Delta Secondary between 8:45 and 10 a.m. tomorrow and will conclude in White Rock on Oct. 1. Riders will make several stops in South Delta tomorrow, including afternoon visits to elementary schools, Thrifty Foods and Coast Capital Savings.

TED MURPHY
MURPHY’S LAW Reflections on a civic by-election that went pretty much to form: With North Delta’s population and Tsawwassen’s activism, Ladner has become a bit of a third wheel when it comes to civic politics these days, so it was interesting to see it flex its muscles last Saturday. Following the death of George Hawksworth this spring, not a single member of council called Ladner home, a situation voters rectified in the by-election by showering so much love on Ian Paton he cruised to victory. Although Paton did reasonably well in Tsawwassen and North Delta, it was his hometown that most definitely propelled him into the council seat. *** The by-election also returned a farmer to the council table, the first one in more than two decades. Through its first century, Delta always had one or more farmers on local government, but that representation has been missing since John Savage resigned in 1987 to sit in Victoria as a Social Credit cabinet minister. Coincidentally, the by-election Savage prompted by moving on to provincial politics was the last one to be held for a Delta council seat prior to Saturday. *** The results reinforce that as much as a candidate needs strong backing in their own ‘hood, he or she also requires support from all three communities to ultimately be successful. In addition to winning all six Ladner polls decisively, Paton topped three of the polls in North Delta and two in Tsawwassen. Runner-up Sylvia Bishop, a Tsawwassenite, won the other five in her hometown but also topped five of the 12 North Delta polls. On the other hand, the leading North Delta candidates simply didn’t resonate with South Delta voters. Amy Ghuman Sara was the top choice in four North Delta polls, but wasn’t much of a factor in these parts, receiving a paltry 141 votes from all six Ladner polls combined. That’s about one-quarter of the votes Paton got at the Hawthorne station alone. *** Overall voter turnout was a pretty respectable 24.88 per cent, given it was a by-election for one council seat that has just over a year left in the term. As always, Tsawwassen led the way, with all but one poll surpassing the 25 per cent mark. Ladner also did well, with every poll recording in excess of 20 per cent turnout, while none of the 12 North Delta polls even reached the 20 per cent figure.
Spending rules would level playing field for candidates DEBBIE McBRIDE
COMMUNITY COMMENT Well, folks, we here in Delta have gone through a mini version of next year’s election and the results should give us lots of food for thought. Let me congratulate Ian Paton on his addition to Delta council. He wasn’t my pick but I wish him well and I also want to thank all the other candidates who ran. Running a campaign takes time, energy and lots of money, and those who take on those responsibilities to keep our democracies running deserve our gratitude. I’d like to pause here and remind you the provincial government is supposed to be reforming how municipal campaigns are to be run and financed. From what I’ve been reading and what I observed during this last campaign, I’d say the province’s refusal to put curbs on cam-
paign spending is wrongheaded. It makes it very difficult for those without access to a lot of money to run for municipal office. Municipal government is the closest form to the people and also the most powerful, where decisions affecting residents’ day-to-day lives are made. Yet it has the fewest rules regarding campaign contribution limits and that sets the stage for an unfair fight for any regular citizen to run for local office. This must change or we won’t see candidates like Kathleen Higgins or Peter Harms able to run successfully for office. They have the courage and passion to run, yet their lack of funding precludes big signs, fancy brochures or paid phone rooms. Nor do many of the candidates have the resources to reerect pulled down and/or destroyed signs, something that happened rather frequently during this campaign I’m afraid. I’ve been looking at the statistics for this by-election and I must say they are both interesting and disturbing. The voter turnout in North Delta was 18.68 per cent, compared to 28.32 per cent in Ladner and 33.51 per cent in Tsawwassen. It’s pretty sad when so many are

willing to forego a right that so many have given their lives to protect. Congratulations to Boundary Bay’s highest voter turnout at 41.45 per cent. Here are some other interesting statistical results as well: While Paton won in Ladner, Sylvia Bishop won in both North Delta and Tsawwassen. Maria DeVries came third in the South Delta, while Amy Ghuman Sara came third in North Delta. Statistics are always interesting and can provide clues into why people cast their votes as they did, as does asking directly. So I did just that. Two overriding opinions emerged. I heard from people in Ladner that they wanted a Ladnerite on council to represent their views because they just didn’t feel their concerns are being heard. The other opinion came from all over the municipality and it shows very firmly how the whole of Delta feels about the retention of farmland and food security. The message they heard was that Paton is a farmer who believes that saving farmland is a major concern and that was theirs as well. Let’s hope he can live up to their expectations.

Don’t eliminate gun registry Emergency Physicians, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the YMCA of Canada, just to name a few. Since the registry was established, detractors like our very own mayor have focused on the cost of the program. The annual cost of a licence to own any amount of guns is only $12 per year. The facts are simple; the gun registry has saved lives. Since its inception, gun deaths have dropped dramatically. In 1991, more than 1,400 Canadians were killed with guns; today it’s less than 800.
The gun registry has been an important tool in tackling domestic violence. Police use the registry as a crucial resource, checking it when intervening in the case of domestic abuse. This allows both families and police to stay safe. We don’t question registering our vehicles or our dogs and the gun owners I know don’t mind spending $12 a year to licence their guns. If the mayor looked at the facts she would understand and support this critical aid to police in Delta and across Canada. Susan Spratt

Congratulations to all the candidates who gave their time, energy and talents to serve Delta and to Delta residents who cast their ballots. The democratic vote is in.

In turn, I, and all residents of Delta, respectfully look to Paton to represent all the people of Delta with our various points of view.

Incinerator threat is latest assault on neighbourhood $239 95 STARTING AT ONLY
What will happen to property values when we start seeing elevated levels of cancers and health problems in this area? One would think we must live in a Third World country when we hear of plans of this nature being proposed. We all need to stand up on this issue and shame the Tsawwassen First Nation and Francesco Aquilini into submission so this project does not go ahead in our backyard. Why not do the right thing and increase landfills in the interior or if an incinerator must be built, build in a location far from a population base? It isn’t just the citizens of Ladner and Tsawwassen that will be affected by the carcinogenic discharges from this incinerator, but the entire Lower Mainland. Joseph Basso

Editor: The burning question is: If a private tract of land cannot be profitably farmed is that sufficient reason to use said farmland for other purposes? It is a given that once farmland has been tampered with by construction preparation it is forever lost as a farm. Each year we lose more and more of our precious food producing areas and each year our population grows. It does not take any great thinking ability to understand where we are headed. What do the inhabitants of this world of ours require in order to survive? I submit the following in order of importance: 1. Air. Without air we
would last but seconds. 2. Food and water. Without food and water we might make it for a week or so. 3. Shelter. Without a roof over our heads, uncomfortable as it would certainly be, we could live for years in some climates. 4. Add all the other niceties of life, ad infinitum. The first three are vitally important but let’s not get our priorities mixed up here; we shouldn’t put shelter before food and water. This world of ours is in bad enough shape as it is; we shouldn’t be speeding up its demise. The people of Delta are not naive; the current owners of Southlands purchased this farm with the full
intentions of developing it, not to farm it. Sympathy with their plight, I suggest, is misplaced. We, the inhabitants of Delta, of B.C., of Canada, of the world in its entirety, should not be swayed by the excuse that a farm is not big enough, the soil is poor, there is no water, the market is depressed; there are a myriad of possible excuses. What I am suggesting is that if a farm is not viable then we, as thinking inhabitants of this third planet from the sun, must make financial adjustments to make it viable. Changing farmland to subdivisions is shortsighted and not in the best interests of humanity as a whole. Harvie Delmar

are on the local flora and fauna. Just Google search “Municipal incinerators and their health effects” and you will discover a host of articles, including medical associations describing the adverse effects on populations, and environmental and ecosystem experts describing the impact on local wildlife. We are destroying what was once one of the best neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland in which to live. The lack of crime, sense of community, good weather and proximity to quiet beachfront make this area a safe, peaceful and healthy environment in which to raise families and retire. My retirement plans have been severely altered as once I had a dream to spend the rest of my days in the area. Why would anyone now?

Editor: Over the past 10 years the Tsawwassen/Ladner area has seen a large growth in industrial development — greenhouses, port and power line expansion — that has severely impacted the quality of life in the region. What’s next for Tsawwassen and Ladner, you ask? You may not have heard but there are plans to build an incinerator to dispose of the Lower Mainland’s trash on Tsawwassen First Nation land between Ladner and Tsawwassen. Not only would this incinerator spew a myriad of carcinogenic chemicals into the air, but its ash waste would be landfilled as well. One does not have to do much Internet searching to discover how harmful the effects of incinerators

LIVING MATTERS You learn something every day. Last week, I learned that a tennis ball will keep sheets from getting tangled up in the dryer. The week before last, I learned that windshield wiper blades should be replaced every six months. Last weekend, I learned that not all golf balls are the same. And I’m not talking make, price or colour. I’m talking gender. I was at a golf shop. I had picked a handful of used balls out of a bowl — they were three for $3.50 — and I placed them on the counter. “You don’t want those,” the golf shop attendant told me. “Oh yes, I do,” I said. “I’m golfing today, and I’ve run out of balls.”
“You still don’t want those,” said the attendant. “Those are men’s balls.” As I say, you learn something every day. The golf shop attendant was a 60-something woman who seemed to clearly know her balls. “Men’s balls?” I asked. “Yes, dear,” said the attendant. “You want women’s balls.” “Those would be the pink ones?” I asked. “Not necessarily,” said the golf shop attendant. “Some men’s balls are pink. Some men’s balls are blue. The difference has nothing to do with colour, and everything to do with compression.” In golf, the learning curve is steep — to put it mildly. I had thought you needed to focus pretty much exclusively on things like the swing, the stance and the sand trap. Turns out no. Turns out you also have to use a ball that speaks to who you are. And if there are golf balls designed for
women, I have no doubt there are golf balls designed for women in their 50s. And golf balls designed for lefthanded women in their 50s. And golf balls designed for left-handed women in their 50s who pick the mushrooms off their pizza, read science fiction thrillers and know every word to the Gilligan’s Island theme song. “Wow,” I said to my golf mates. “Did either of you know there were women’s balls and men’s balls?” “No,” they said. “No idea.” “To think,” I continued, “that all this time, we may have been playing with balls that aren’t the right gender!” We all shook our heads. “This is amazing!” I said. “This may transform our game!” And with that, we slapped our money down and bought some women’s balls. This game is a journey, we told ourselves. There’s just so much to know.

School welcomes choir into fold
John Trepp’s Delta Sings has joined Delta Community Music School
Delta’s newest choir, Delta Sings, has joined the Delta Community Music School. “We’re delighted to have Delta Sings in our organization,” says Stephen Robb, executive director of the music school, which has been promoting the arts and providing music education in Delta since 1981. “It’s a great opportunity to expand into a new vocal program and a privilege to have a musical educator as accomplished as John Trepp in our school.” Delta Sings is directed by Tsawwassen’s John Trepp, who was presented with the 2010 Willan Award by the B.C. Choral Federation earlier this year. Well-known in Western Canada as a music educator, director and adjudicator, Trepp retired in 2007 after 30 years directing choral music in Vancouver schools, including Magee Secondary. In total, his choral work adds up to 45 years of music education. After retirement, Trepp created the mixed-voice auditioned choir Delta Sings in the fall of 2009. Made up of singers ranging in age from 20s to 60-plus, Delta Sings members bring a wide range of vocal experience to the group. Many of Delta Sings members have a long history with Trepp. Several are former Magee students, and not recent students, either. “I sang in John’s choir back in the early ‘80s,” says choir co-founder Kathryn Grant, “and although I’ve sung in several adult choirs over the years, there’s some-
thing very special about being part of John’s choir again.” Part of what makes Trepp’s choir special is his expert choice of choral repertoire. There’s more to a choir than singing. Camaraderie is a big part of choir membership, and Delta Sings members enjoy getting together at potlucks or karaoke, especially after a successful concert or challenging rehearsal. “We tackle difficult music and sometimes it’s challenging,” says Delta Sings alto (and the group’s webmaster) Alexis MacPherson, “but we’ve learned to rely on each other. It’s such a great feeling when we’re all singing together.” Backed by over 45 years experience as a choral clinician and teacher, Trepp is a skilled music educator. Although every rehearsal contains a teaching component, Trepp has said that, “Music is more than learning the notes; it’s about sharing the joy of music with the each other and the community.” And the Delta Community Music School’s Robb couldn’t agree more: “That’s what we’re all about, bringing the best in music education and the arts to Delta.” Delta Sings meets Wednesdays at 7.30 p.m. at the Delta Community Music School, 4705 Arthur Dr. New members, especially those with tenor, baritone or bass voice, are welcome.

Tsawwassen’s Lucy Tompkins made it through her tough two-week U.K. cycling trip. “In hindsight, I loved it, but it was absolutely exhausting at the time. The last three or four days were the hardest, just because of cumulative exhaustion, I think,” she said in an e-mail to the Optimist. Tompkins used the July 1,600-kilometre (1,000mile) bike trip from Land’s End in southwest England to John O’ Groats in north-
east Scotland as a fundraiser for OWL. She raised about $1,000 for the local non-profit society, an organization that rehabilitates and releases injured and orphaned birds. “I am really pleased, as that was the amount I was targeting,” she said. Tompkins, who was part of a 25-person group on the trek, said there were plenty of hills along the way. She said seeing parts of Britain she’d never seen before was a real highlight. “We were on little, tiny back roads (often going through farmyards and on
cycle trails), so we saw the quintessential England that we wanted to see.” A member of the South Delta Triathlon Club, Tompkins is originally from New Zealand.

South Delta Artists’ Guild members Laurel Johnson (left), Cynthia Rundle and past president Sylvia Bishop are ready to mark the group’s 35th anniversary this Saturday.
The South Delta Artists’ Guild will mark its 35th anniversary with a cocktail party at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn on Saturday. “Our theme is black and white. People need to dress in black and white. [But] that doesn’t mean black tie,” said event chairperson Cynthia Rundle. There will be live music and a silent auction. Auction items include a week’s accommodation in Hawaii and original artwork. The guild will also mark its 10th anniversary of call-
ing the Kiwanis Longhouse home. The group uses a portion of the building, labeled as the Tsawwassen Longhouse Gallery, for exhibits and another for workshops, classes and drop-in art groups. Past president Sylvia Bishop said the group had previously used the Phoenix Club, an old fire hall, as a meeting place. The guild started with seven members in 1975 and the current membership sits at around 160. “There’s everybody from beginners to people in the Federation of Canadian Artists. It’s a group of all levels of expertise,” said guild member Laurel
Johnson. The group has supported various local organizations over the years, including Delta Hospital, Deltassist, Delta Hospice and OWL. The guild also provides two annual bursaries to a student from each local high school. The anniversary event starts at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $34, which includes hors d’oeuvres and a welcome drink. Visit southdeltaartistsguild.com for more information. Call 360-945-0855 or 604-943-5656 for tickets. • The group’s next show, 35 Years of Art — Then & Now, starts tomorrow at the Tsawwassen Longhouse Gallery.

Guide to a new kitchen
A COMPLETED INNOVA KITCHEN PROJECT. NOT EVERY RENOVATION IS MILLION-DOLLAR HIGH-END, YOU CAN UPGRADE FOR A REASONABLE SUM BY SETTING PRIORITIES.
Planning is an important first step whether you’re renovating an existing kitchen or starting from scratch in a new home
As an accomplished cook, when I see a large, gorgeous kitchen set-up with all the latest amenities and gadgets, and working counter space that goes on for miles, I’ll admit to becoming green with envy, having reached full cupboard capacity long ago in my little condo galley, along with a stove that really could be considered childsized. Who are these lucky people who can chop, fry, bake, serve and clean up effortlessly in their beautiful “entertainment centres?”
Whether your budget includes DIY, a trip to IKEA or using a recommended renovator/kitchen expert, upgrading your kitchen still needs to fulfil those criteria. Planning is also important. Coker says before you even get started ripping cabinets off walls, you should be making some lists, and checking them twice. “You’ve got your priority kitchen installations, what I call have-tohave’s,” says Coker. “Then you have
“Either way, you’re likely going to end up with a kitchen that is far improved from before, and will also up your property’s value substantially.” Phil Cervi, who owns Armadio Kitchen and Bath, says when you’re ready to take on a kitchen renovation a top priority should be finding a trustworthy contractor. He recommends asking for references and checking out some of their finished work. Cervi, who has worked in the industry for 22 years, says that when choosing the different elements to be included in your new kitchen, it’s best to start with what will be the most prominent feature. Often that’s the cabinets. “Most of the interior designers I work with want to know what the cabinets look like.” HELEN PETERSON

“Regardless of whether you are renovating an old space, which is actually 70 per cent of our business, or building a brand new home, a kitchen plan needs to incorporate three main goals,” says Coker. “It’s got to provide functionality for you and your family; it’s got to be as environmentally ‘green’ as possible; and it’s got to have the aesthetics and colour schemes that please you.”

Introducing Dustless Sanding The Atomic DCS® Difference Traditional hardwood floor sanding is typically an extremely dusty process—a dust-storm in your home, lingering dust in your air-ducts, and a cleanup headache that feels like it will never end.

because it was such a cold spring that the heat from the metal kept the soil warm and everything just grew super well.” Though Yau’s inexperience could have led her to plant the standard flowers and shrubs, she felt sure that an edible patch was what she wanted. “I kind of figured, well, if I’m going to the effort of landscaping something, I thought it would be more of a reward for me if I could eat it.” Her neighbours are excited by the idea, and pitch in with plenty of advice. They watch the garden with interest, and often walk by to take a look. Before the drip irrigation system was installed, one neighbourhood child used to run through the sprinkler. The garden has been lowmaintenance; no pesticides are used. Weeding hasn’t really been necessary, and neither has pruning: “Apparently you do (need to trim), but because I’ve never grown anything before, I haven’t been trimming anything and it just keeps growing, it just keeps producing stuff ... All I did was just plant the seeds, and make

sure it got water.” Yau has planted peas, lettuce, zucchini, arugula, tomatoes, carrots, beets, sugar snap peas ... the list goes on. The vegetables have grown like crazy, and harvests have been so plentiful at times that produce is being given to the whole neighbourhood. Though gardeners may view growing produce as a carefully planned, highly calculated activity, Yau’s advice for how to tell when vegetables are ready seems simple. “You can tell. I would just pick it and eat it, and if it tasted good I’d start harvesting.” Yau’s garden may be trial and error, but it has already yielded some very tasty results. Her favourite things to make with the produce are fresh salads with lettuce, spinach, beet leaves, and shelled peas: “I just love eating raw so I can feel and taste the freshness. It was awesome just to be able to have a fresh, mixed salad every single night. It’s sweeter, crispy, it was really good.” JENNIFER LUTHER

‘Tis the season to harvest and prepare for the coming winter months Now is the time to harvest those veggies, but there is also no time like the present to prepare your garden for the winter. “You start doing some cutting back of perennials, and all the pruning of your trees ... It’s a good time to start cutting that stuff back. I like to prune earlier in the fall before the leaves fall off so you can still see what the tree looks like,” says landscaping expert Gord Driver. Driver also advises homeowners to start pressurewashing needles and other lawn droppings before they stain patios. It’s a good time to start since most people won’t be motivated to do it once the weather turns bad. Fall lawn aerations, with top dresses or overseeds are a good idea at the end of September, since the weather is still warm enough to germinate the seeds. Now is also a good time to start pulling out summer annuals and replace them
with perennials like primroses, which are fragrant.
ent light.” Lights come in either halogen or LED. Whether you’re landscaping to grow, glow or just eat, now is the time to get going.
Driver specifically recommends a low evergreen perennial called heuchera, which has many varietals. “If you’ve got a stagnantlooking, kind of green garden, the burgundy colour really stands out or the lime green.”

Though it may be too late to launch a last-ditch winterfriendly planting effort, Driver has a few non-plant suggestions for gardens that need cold weather pizzazz. “A lot of people are putting in globes; glass or stainless. A really good thing to do too, and it’s not a hugely expensive proposition, is to put in low-voltage lighting because in the winter it really makes a difference, it starts getting dark around five o’clock. With just a little bit of accent lighting in a few spots in your yard, it’ll just create shadows on walls and trees,” Driver explains, and jokes, “It will allow you to actually enjoy your garden in a differ-

that fully able-bodied people take for granted.
osia Ettenberg is thinking about renovating her kitchen. She’s not worried about granite countertops or new sink fixtures, she just wants to make the whole room accessible.
Ettenberg is looking into getting a sink that can be lowered and raised — a recent innovation on the North American market. There are a hundred other renovations, from major to minor, that might be needed to make a home accessible. And those renovations are often unique to each person and their own circumstances, Ettenberg said.
Ettenberg uses a powered wheelchair to get around, and that puts her arms and shoulders below the level of most kitchen fixtures. “I’m really in a bad position to wash dishes … because it’s too high for me,” Ettenberg said.
“You need to do your own planning,” Ettenberg said. While municipal governments mandate that some units in new developments be built to flex-housing or accessibility standards, that usually means a number of minor changes. It might mean having extra supports in a bathroom wall so that

bars can be added later. It might mean installing wall sockets at 18 inches high, or light switches lower, to make them easier to reach. But it typically doesn’t include modifications such as ramps, lifts, or major changes to a kitchen or bathroom. Once disabled homeowners know what they want done, they have to find funding. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) does provide some funding for homeowners. If their homes are below a certain value, they can qualify for up to $16,000 in the Lower Mainland. The funding from the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) is considered a form of loan, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

If the homeowner sells their home before that time period, they will have to pay back a portion of the funding. “So long as they’re occupying their home, they’re fine,” said Jabeen Janmohamed of the CMHC.

The CMHC also asked her to get three quotes for the work, but many of the smaller home contractors didn’t want to give quotes for relatively minor jobs.
“Everybody thinks it’s superexpensive, but it isn’t,” said Nancy Paris, the CEO of Peak. Her firm works with contractors to create multi-level countertops, fridges, stove ranges, and even cabinets that drop from the ceiling.

Use an extension cord only as a temporary connection and never link extension cords; instead, use a single cord that’s long enough to reach from the outlet to an appliance without stretching. Always unplug an electrical cord by pulling on the plug, not the cord. When setting up the room, never run an electrical cord through a doorway or under a carpet. If a cord becomes hot when plugged in, discontinue use immediately and replace with a heavier gauge cord.

nized” intentions for September have already fallen by the wayside, take a deep breath and try again. Professional organizer Sylvia Daoust offers a few tips. Establish a communication command centre: Create a filing system for school papers and designate a spot in the kitchen as the “inbox” for kids’ agendas and other forms. Make the calendar family-friendly and place it in a high-traffic area. Make it a group effort: Designate one hook and one basket for each child in the mud room. This will make it easy for kids to find what they need to get out the door on time. Plan ahead: Prepare lunches after dinner when you are putting away leftovers. Use weekly meal planning to keep sanity amid hectic schedules. LISA KADANE

What to look for in a ‘green’ home
With growing awareness around being green and making the right choices for the environment, it’s not surprising that more and more builders are constructing green homes. In addition, homeowners are investing in upgrading their homes with green features to make them more energy efficient, comfortable as well as to increase the sales value. All of this is good news for buyers who are looking for a home with a particular shade of green. Whether you’re looking at a home that is previously owned or one that is new, here are some things to consider: Insulation: Next to a mortgage, energy costs can be one of the most significant household expenditures. An energy-efficient home conserves energy by reducing heat loss during the winter and heat gains during the summer. One of the best ways to reduce heat loss and gain is to ensure ceilings, walls and foundations are well-insulated and draft-free. Energy Star windows and doors will also help keep your heating and cooling costs down while improving comfort. Heating systems: A home with an older model heating system that operates at 65 to 75 per cent efficiency can realize significant cost savings by converting to a new energy efficient model that operates at 85 to 98 per cent efficiency. Look for heating systems that use high efficiency motors as well to reduce electricity costs.
Light fixtures: Energy-efficient lighting is an easy way to reduce your electrical consumption. Look for compact fluorescent lamps, which last up to 10 times longer than regular bulbs and use one-third of the energy. Indoor Air Quality: Choose materials and finishes that have low odour and low pollutant emissions. A ventilation system that provides fresh outdoor air and deals with moisture and odours can also help maintain a healthy indoor environment.

Design Your Dreams
Where you live matters, too If you’re committed to living a green and sustainable lifestyle, the location of your home can be just as important as what it’s made of. During your search, think about looking for a sustainable neighbourhood — one that will allow you to reduce your environmental footprint even further and save you more money. Location, location, location: Sustainable neighbourhoods contain everything you need for living within an area where it is easy to walk, cycle or take a bus. This includes schools, shopping, jobs, recreation facilities and libraries. By spending less time in your car, you will significantly reduce your environmental footprint and save money on gas. Variety: Sustainable neighbourhoods offer a variety of housing options, from townhouses and condos to single family homes and can accommodate people along the full spectrum of needs and budgets. One way to check the nearby destinations in any neighbourhood you’re considering

Here’s one more thing to consider: is the home a “green” home? That is, does it have features that will save energy and water, reduce maintenance costs and waste, offer a healthy indoor environment and have a reduced impact on the earth?
They can save on water heating and clothes drying costs too. Also, ask if the home has low-or dual-flush toilets and low-flow shower and faucet fixtures.

urchasing a home involves making many decisions. How many bedrooms do you need? What neighbourhood do you want to live in? Should it be previously owned, brand new or custom-built?
Water-efficiency: Water is a precious resource. Newer front loading clothes washers can use far less water than older top loaders.

that can be used to infallibly impose order on even the most messy basement.
insect or pest infestations, now is the time to deal with them.
“So often, I see basements that have got out of control,” says professional organizer Andrew Neary. “Things are scattered randomly, items are buried in piles, and half of the stuff has just disappeared under clutter.”
His first step is to remove everything from the space. This might be done in stages — but ideally, as much of the basement should be done at once as possible.
The third step requires sorting everything that was removed in step one into categories — sports equipment, cleaning supplies, toys and games, and whatever other categories fit the case at hand. If there is anything you really don’t need, now is the time to discard it. Be tough
Neary has a series of steps
His second step is to clean the vacated area. If repainting is needed or there are
with your Inner Packrat, because the less stuff you have, the easier it is to keep it organized. Step four requires some imagination, a stage that Neary calls “zoning” the basement. What will go where? The most important consideration is how often you use each item. A bicycle used almost daily should be near the entrance of the basement, for example. Christmas ornaments and other seasonal items can be further back. In step five, you’re going to have to buy organizers so that everything has its own place. Shelving is perfect for a lot of canned goods and cleaning and other house supplies. Hockey equipment and garden rakes and the like can be hung on hooks on the wall. Work tools need a storage cabinet. Transparent boxes can hold smaller items while ensuring they’re easy to locate. Hazardous material such as flammable sprays, solvents, some cleaning fluids and paints should probably be stored in a cabinet that can be locked, especially if there are children in the house. “You want to know that you can lock things up and walk away, knowing that things are safe.” Once the organizers are bought and in place, the items you removed from the basement and plan to keep can be put in their appointed spots. If you’re going to have a handyman’s corner for wood-
“Anyone who’s working on projects should have an area that’s well ventilated and well lit,” he says. “You need very strong overhead light — ideally, coming from the ceiling, so you have really good lighting on whatever you’re working on and you’re not bumping into lamps.” Neary says dedicated places for each tool is crucial. “Every hammer, sander and plane has to have its own location or you’re going to be losing track of what you have. “I’ve had clients who’ve had half a dozen drills because they’ve repeated lost drill bits and attachments. My mantra is, ‘Buy once, store properly, and have things forever.’” There are many tool cabinets available to ensure good storage, but simply using hooks on the wall can serve equally well, Neary says. The important points for the basement are “safety and functionality,” Neary says. “Your basement is like any other part of your home. If you want to enjoy it, it has to look good and it has to serve your purposes. If you want it to contribute to your quality of life, it has to be neat and organized, and all the things you’ve chosen to keep have to be accessible. “Simple stuff, but people easily forget it.” CHARLES ENMAN POSTMEDIA NEWS

Artist Natascha Trautmann (right), pictured with community librarian Jeannie Cockcroft, donated one of her paintings to the Tsawwassen Library last Wednesday. Trautmann, who had an exhibition at the library in June, had students visiting from Cliff Drive Elementary put their own touches on the piece. “It was so neat seeing them make the marks and be a part of the painting,” she said.

On September 20, at the Delta Hospital Foundation AGM, we welcomed two new members to the board of directors. We are very pleased to announce that Don Sangster and Laura Cassidy will be joining our team. Bruce Warren, who served as a board chair during his term, will leave the board after 8 years and Eileen Campbell is also leaving after completing a full 10 year term. We gratefully thank them for their many years of service. Throughout 2010, Delta Hospital has benefitted greatly from the generosity of our community. A new electronic Wanderer System will provide for the safety of older patients with signs of dementia. We also saw the opening of Mountain View Manor’s Serenity Garden that provides our residents a wonderful recreational opportunity. Portable surgical lights for the OR and a digital still camera for the lab are just a few of the many other items we purchased over the last year. An exciting new project for the foundation is Forest For Our Future. This urban forest, located right on hospital grounds will be an area of peace and relaxation for the entire community to enjoy. It will also serve as a place for recognition to those that have graciously chosen to leave a Legacy Gift to the hospital in their Will. Along with a variety of trees indigenous to BC, the forest will also feature walkways, benches and beautiful water centerpiece. Our 12th Annual Moonlight Gala on Saturday September 25 will be held at the new Boundary Bay Airport terminal. With an “Around the World” theme, guests will be treated to a ‘first-class’ evening. Our many thanks go to presenting sponsor, Envision Financial and to our host Alpha Aviation for their support. With your help, the Delta Hospital Foundation will continue to be your community partner for quality health care. Our 2010 - 2011 board looks forward to working with you in continuing to provide the very best in care, close to home.

A30 The Delta Optimist September 22, 2010 Feedback
next year. Fight HST leader Bill Vander Zalm said his group won’t wait and is planning recall campaigns on selected Liberal MLAs. The Optimist asked:
The premier has said that if a majority of voters oppose the HST in a referendum, the controversial tax would be removed. A legislature committee voted to send the issue to a referendum in September of
Should the HST referendum be held sooner?
Nikos Jason Fakaro Absolutely. Politicians are supposed to make decisions upon opinions and what we want as opposed to what they think. I think they need to remember who they’re working for.
Gerry Cretelli If it can be, but I doubt it can.
You can have your say on this issue by taking part in our web poll at www. delta-optimist.com
Joyce Williams I disagree with the HST and feel the referendum should be done earlier.
Richard Taoukil Sooner is better.
Stavros Kyriakou Absolutely, because that’s what the people want.
Last week we asked you:
What’s your most pressing by-election issue? • 19.61 per cent said the Southlands. • 21.57 per cent said saving farmland.
BC’s Only Fall RV Show!
This year’s show will showcase more than 200 new recreation vehicles in every price range!
• 37.25 per cent said affordable housing. • 21.57 per cent said none of the above.

Voice of Whitecaps at the Royals helm
Peter Schaad has wasted little time in making a difference with emerging Tsawwassen senior men’s soccer club MARK BOOTH
mbooth@delta-optimist.com
He is the voice of the Vancouver Whitecaps and the afternoon show on THE PEAK 100.5 FM. You can also hear his distinctive tone patrolling the sidelines at a nearby soccer pitch. Soon after Peter Schaad and his young family settled in South Delta, he happened to stumble upon a senior men’s game involving the Tsawwassen Royals’ reserve team from the Vancouver Metro Soccer League. “I came out to watch these guys and there really was no one running the show,” recalled Schaad. For an overwhelmed Jim Norris, Schaad’s arrival couldn’t have come soon enough. The former Tsawwassen Minor Soccer Club president had his hands full trying to work the Royals up the VMSL ladder. He was coaching the club’s second division and reserve teams and knew long term it wouldn’t work. “I was running a practice session with 30 guys and it was basically too much,” said Norris. “My priority was the first team, but I could also see the development that was necessary for some of these young guys to play at a higher level. It was difficult to try and manage everything.” Schaad agreed to help but it wouldn’t happen until the start of the 2010-11 season when it would be a fresh start from game one.
His coaching resumé dates back to when he was just 18 and includes a recent stint at Kitsilano secondary where he guided the Blue Devils to the provincial championship game in 2008. Of course, being a sponge for knowledge at Whitecaps games and training sessions has been an immense asset. “To see two championship runs up close was pretty special,” said Schaad. “There’s a lot of little interesting inside things, just being at training or on the road — all the things these players would never experience professional wise. “Certainly there is also lots to gain in terms of training and just tactics and ideas. (Whitecaps coach) Teitur Thordarson has been unbelievable where I can ask him a question and just soak it all in.” Schaad diligently takes notes during games, is constantly communicating with his players and is aware of the remaining time, right to the second. The only thing missing is providing the supporters with a play-by-play description of every goal. “It’s been great and a real treat to have him,” continued Norris. “I’ve been impressed watching (his) drills. You get stale and it’s always great to have a fresh attitude and ideas.” Schaad has brought instant structure and accountability to the reserve team and has been more than pleased with how keen they are to learn.

now have a place to go.” Corner kicks ... The Royals CAT team picked up its first win of the season with a 2-0 triumph over Bombastic “B” of Vancouver on Sunday. It only took three minutes before Liam Stewart put the home side in front, after pouncing on a loose ball in the six-yard-box. Just eight minutes later the Royals doubled their lead when Stewart made a great run down the left flank before setting up Matt Fahlman with an easy tap-in at the back post. The Stripes could have easily added a few more on either side of halftime and were rarely threatened in their own end. Tyler Treftlin collected his first clean sheet in the Royals goal, while Luke Fernandes had a stand-out performance in his debut at left back.

to coaching,” he added. “A lot of them could still be holding on to what they did in high school, but they have been really open to it. “It’s been a real treat and an unexpected one too. What I saw last year, I was a little worried about this team. It’s turned out to be really good.” Schaad’s arrival adds to the momentum the Royals have been building in a short period of time. Their top team nearly earned promotion for two straight years and is taking another run at the first division. Games are Friday nights at the Winskill turf and the turnout was terrific for the league opener two weeks ago. “We are trying to create a club atmosphere,” said Norris.

Great debut for girls field lacrosse team The inaugural season for the Delta Footmen U15 girls field lacrosse team is off to a terrific start. The wet weather may have dampened the girls’ uniforms but not their spirits in an 8-2 victory over Port Coquitlam. Stellar goal tending with a 90 save percentage from Savannah Phillips back
stopped the Footmen. The rest of the team shone through the clouds with excellent team work resulting in first time goals for many of the players. Rookie Zoe Jamieson lit up the scoreboard with two goals and as many assists, while Stephanie Cooper pocketed a hat trick. Georgia Larden, who was
denied her first goal due to an offside call, managed to get on the scoresheet with a yellow card, proving her dad taught her everything he knows! Other offensive highlights included: Erika MacKenzie (one goal), Melissa Caviglia (one assist), Chalane Morrison (one goal and three assists)

KENNY, Mary Viola “Pat” (nee McGrath)
Surrounded by family, our Mom, Pat passed away bravely on September 19, 2010 at Delta Hospital following several months of illness. She was predeceased by husband Sydney in 1997 and is survived by daughters Alayne (Norm) and Maureen (Bryan), grandchildren Corey, Tracy and Sydnee, great-grandchildren Katja, Jasper, Allison and Ryan, sister Anne and brother Ken, brother-in-law Leonard, sister-in-law Rosella, also many nieces and nephews locally and in Eastern Canada and the USA. Mom, born in Montreal, was part of a large family and lived in Newfoundland, Ontario, PEI, New Brunswick and eventually Nova Scotia where she and Dad met and were married. Throughout her working life she always strived to improve her abilities and experience in the business world. They moved to BC in 1971 following Dad’s retirement and transition from the RCMP to BC Ferries and settled in Tsawwassen. Eventually they moved to Ladner where Mom was an active member of her townhouse council and a good friend to all. She loved the casino and became a popular member among her fellow gamblers on their cross border bus trips. Maintaining her independence all these years has been extremely important to her. She will leave an empty space in our lives and hearts. Thank you to Dr R Clarke and the remarkable staffs of Delta Hospital, Mountain View Manor and Delta Hospice for your months of caring and good-hearted humour. Pat enjoyed you all. She would be pleased to see contributions sent to Delta Hospital Foundation and the BC Cancer Foundation in lieu of flowers. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, September 24th, 2010 at 1:00 pm at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Ladner, BC with reception to follow.
