Mayor calls for patience as police work case BY

TOM ZYTARUK

Optimist contributor

“The tough part is being patient.” That’s the word from Mayor Lois Jackson as Delta police continue their investigation into the murder of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei of North Delta. Police have received more than 150 tips so far, department spokesperson Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said at a media briefing Thursday. Investigation, she said, “takes time. We need to be methodical, thorough.”

Delta Community Animal Shelter manager Sarah Lowe believes the new Meet Your Match program will allow prospective owners to find the cat with the personality traits they desire.

New program tests cats’ personalities to ensure they’re a good fit for prospective owners BY

Delta’s animal shelter has a new process for uniting its feline residents with prospective owners and so far it’s been a hit. Meet Your Match, originally introduced by the American SPCA and adopted by many shelters south of the border, has been put into practice at the Delta Community Animal Shelter, the first to use the program in the Lower Mainland. Meet Your Match evaluates an animal’s behaviour, temperament and interests and matches it with a potential adopter’s preferences. Shelter manager Sarah Lowe explained that when a cat comes into the shelter, staff members

She said the program has been shown to reduce the instance of euthanasia by 50 per cent — in shelters that employ that practice; the Delta Community Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter — as well as the number of cats returned after adoption. Lowe said she is also hoping it will help reduce the shelter’s cat population, which stands at around 50. Currently, Meet Your Match is only used for cats that are older than nine months. Lowe said there is a version of the program for dogs as well, but it’s not being used yet in Delta. For more information about the shelter or Meet Your Match, visit www.deltacommunityanimalshelter.ca or call 604-940-7111.

A private funeral service was held for Szendrei on Wednesday. It was noted at a police press conference Thursday that members of the Hells Angels had attended the funeral. Asked what police make of that, Brooks was non-committal. “We’re considering all possibilities,” she said. Jackson said she’s “got a lot of faith” in the “guys and gals” working on the case, noting the department has a “good clearance rate” on criminal investigations. Police had yet to identify a suspect or make an arrest at press time. They want to speak with anyone who was in Mackie Park between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. last Saturday and ask them to call 604-946-4411. In the meantime, the mayor says municipal workers will prune North Delta’s Mackie Park, where the Grade 10 Burnsview student was savagely beaten. This will happen right after police give their OK and bring down the yellow barricade tapes cordoning off the murder scene. Jackson said underbrush would be cut out, leaving only a green canopy that will enable people to see what’s going on in the park. See MURDER page 3

Mayor backs longer term for politicians

Blessing of the Animals

Four-year proposal defeated at UBCM convention

but investigators were not immediately able to confirm if it is also stolen. Officers recovered two Toyota Rav 4 vehicles that were reported stolen in Laval, Quebec.

Delegates at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted by a large margin against extending term limits for municipal councils from three to four years. Thursday’s vote was by written ballot, ending a heated debate on what turned out to be a contentious issue at the four-day convention in Whistler. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, in favour of extending the term, told the Optimist the motion was clearly a divisive one, highlighted by a standing vote on Wednesday becoming chaotic. An accurate count was impossible, prompting the need for a paper ballot. Many of the smaller and rural communities were opposed while the urban communities had the opposite view. “There is a very great difference here. The small towns and villages all over British Columbia, who have a mayor and council, and you add them all up, and compare them to the Lower Mainland, they’re much in the majority here (at the UBCM),” said Jackson. The idea of extending

terms from three to four years has been brought up several times at the UBCM over the past decade, only to be defeated or not admitted for debate. The proposal this time around came from a series of recommendations in a report released this summer by a joint provincial government/UBCM task force. The recommendations also require approval from the province. The term changes would have been in effect for the fall 2011 municipal elections. The task force report notes advocates of increasing term length say it provides cost savings by reducing the number of elections and provides more time for new councillors to learn and conduct the duties of office. Opponents argue longer terms are a barrier to participation and may end up leading to more by-elections. The heated debate at the UBCM was just another example of the divide between suburban and rural communities, said Jackson. Coun. Scott Hamilton, who also attended the convention, said he’s concerned about dysfunction at the UBCM.

“We went through all the debating on that one resolution about four-year terms and it got so botched at the executive level in terms of how they were dealing with the vote that it actually had to come down to a ballot,” said Hamilton. Saying he hasn’t seen a fractious divide in the organization, Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski said extending term limits was a huge issue, one that he wanted to hear the various viewpoints. “Even amongst our council in Terrace there’s a number of councillors who are against moving to a fouryear term and some, including myself, who would consider a four-year term beneficial for a number of different reasons.

and canvassed residents for tips related to the killing. This was particularly the case on Tuesday, when students returned to classes. They were off school Monday on account of a district-wide professional development day for teachers. Police officers were at local schools this week to help students feel safe,

Jackson noted. She said the police and school staff are trying to “ease the children back into a normal routine and a normal life. “They’re trying to normalize the children,” she said. The police department’s victims services section brought a specially trained “trauma dog” to Burnsview on Monday. It was there

for “cathartic petting” and to provide “non-judgmental empathy,” said Kim Gramlich. As the week wore on, police pared back the no-go zone surrounding the park, and Gray Elementary and Sands Secondary schools, to the park itself. By Wednesday afternoon young children were happily squealing away as

they played on playground equipment there, seemingly oblivious to the yellow police tape just a few strides away. Still, the stacks of flowers, balloons and cards continue to grow at curbside makeshift memorials along either street bounding the park, and the atmosphere around them remains thick with sadness.

Suite enforcement comes with price BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta council recently approved another expenditure connected to the new secondary suites bylaw. Two hybrid SUV vehicles will be purchased for inspectors to conduct suite inspections throughout Delta. The vehicles will cost $77,000. A staff report to council notes another implication of the enforcement program is an increase in temporary staffing, including one clerk, one bylaw inspector and one building code inspector. Staff anticipates the enforcement program will last for more than three years. The engineering department recommended purchasing two vehicles for the inspection program rather than leasing them for an extended period. This summer, council approved the secondary suites bylaw that legalizes the living units, but they must abide by certain building code requirements as well as pay for municipal servicing.

The inspectors will look to ensure the rules are being followed, including a maximum of one suite in a single-family home and that the floor area of a suite being no more than 40 per cent of the overall dwelling, and not greater and 969-squarefeet. One additional on-site (driveway) parking spot is required under the bylaw. To encourage property owners to legalize their suites, Delta’s program will waive the first two building inspections (first inspection and re-inspection of an existing secondary suite) until Jan. 31, 2012. This would represent a savings of approximately $250 for property owners. After Dec. 31, 2010, a $200 daily fine will come into effect for property owners who have more than one secondary suite in a single family dwelling, have a secondary suite that does not comply with the building code or have insufficient off-street parking. According to staff report, there are 2,447 known secondary suites in Delta.

Annual Moonlight Gala raises 1/4 million for Delta Hospital

Anonymous donor tops up evening’s total to a nice round number Over 230 guests at the Delta Hospital Foundation’s 12th annual Moonlight Gala raised $250,000 at the new Boundary Bay Airport terminal last Saturday. Arriving guests got firstclass treatment as volunteers from Paris, Venice, Shanghai, Mumbai and New York welcomed them aboard. The Around the World theme encouraged guests to taste culinary flavours from the five featured cities in an elegant cocktail reception and dinner. The international transformation of Alpha Aviation’s 15,000-squarefoot facility gave a spectacular feeling of globetrotting as guests walked about the Shanghai lounge viewing over 95 silent auction items as well as an exciting live auction by auctioneer, and Delta councillor-elect, Ian Paton. Presenting sponsor Envision Financial’s Barry Christianson spoke of their commitment and support for community organizations like the Delta Hospital

This marks the first of two years that Envision Financial will be supporting the gala as the presenting sponsor. Local actor Jackson Davies was master of ceremonies, entertaining everyone with his unique brand of humour. He noted Delta as an extremely caring community that recognizes the

importance of such causes as the hospital. Foundation executive director Teresa Cooper said since the gala an anonymous donor has generously offered to top up the monies raised to a total of $250,000 from the night’s proceeds of over $220,000. The excitement of the evening hit its highest altitude with the presenta-

tion of the cheque to Delta Hospital Foundation chair Lois Wilkinson by ecstatic gala chair Sarah Toigo. “I am very pleased with the outcome of the evening,” said Toigo. “We reached our goal. Delta is a very lucky community to have such dedicated volunteers and residents who make these events so successful.”

Savings realized at board office

Secretary treasurer not replaced after mutual decision sees Michelle Miller leave district BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

The Delta school board has a new secretary treasurer. Michelle Miller, a North Delta resident hired by the board in 2008, left her post just prior to the end of the last school year. She was replaced by Joe Strain, a senior administrator with the district, who assumed the secretary treasurer’s role while also keeping his current duties as human resources director. Noting it was a mutual decision, board chairperson Dale Saip said the district had been looking to improve efficiencies even before the completion a

comprehensive facilities and program review as well as an internal review of operations. “We looked at retooling and rather than just fill a box because somebody leaves, it was an opportunity for us to step back and gain some efficiencies in that regard. We have an acting secretary treasurer now in a combined position,” explained Saip. “Our new superintendent (Dianne Turner) over the next while will tell us what our needs are and where we need to strengthen as far as the board office. When the opportunity came up for us to move in a different direction, we came up with a mutually beneficial

agreement that we’ll move forward with this idea that we’ve had for quite a while.” Saip said the Delta district has a reputation for being fiscally responsible and a commitment for placing the needs of its students first. He said Miller had an opportunity in the private sector but still had to be compensated by the district because her tenure ended prior to her contract expiring. However, the district will see a long-term cost savings by eliminating that salary, he said. According to the Public Sector Employers’ Council, Miller received a salary and benefit package of

$114,812 for the fiscal year 2008/09. Her salary for this past fiscal year will be available later this month. Miller, who replaced

Grant McRadu, was in senior management with Pacific Blue Cross prior to being hired by the Delta board.

Delta is going to spend almost $200,000 more annually on lifeguards at aquatic centres. Council recently endorsed a recommendation by the parks and recreation department to increase the lifeguard budget following an audit this year by the Lifesaving Society. Parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz said the last major audit was performed eight years ago, although several unannounced spot audits were done to ensure standards were being met. The most significant staffing changes will occurr at the Sungod Recreation Centre in North Delta, where lifeguard staffing hours will increase from 400 per week to 528. No additional staffing hours were recommended at the Ladner Leisure Centre, but at the Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre a second lifeguard, representing 15 additional hours per week, will be added.

Another group of locals is getting ready to head to Africa later this fall to help bring clean drinking water to those who need it. Tsawwassen’s BettyMarie Mason-Fryer and her daughter Lucy Fryer, 14, will be among a group of 15 people, mostly from South Delta, heading to the village of Gulu in northern Uganda. While there the group will install a clean drinking water system as well as a fish pond, which will be stocked with tilapia, a local fish that will serve as a food source. The group, which leaves Oct. 17 and returns Nov. 3, will be working with H2O 4 All, an organization aimed at alleviating thirst and hunger through the development and implementation of technology that converts existing water resources into accessible and sustainable potable water and through the creation of fishponds. The village is home to a Watoto orphanage. Watoto is a church-based organization that helps

orphans and widows, many of which have been left behind in the aftermath of the AIDS epidemic. Over the past few years, three groups from South Delta, led by Steve and Linda Kovacs, have traveled to Uganda to help build homes and schools for the Watoto orphans, housemothers and teachers. Last year, another group traveled to the same area to install a water purification system and fishpond for another orphanage. This is the third trip to Africa for Mason-Fryer. She was involved in two of the home-building trips. She says traveling has always been a passion and signing up for the first trip to Africa was not something she planned. “I went to a meeting and next thing I knew I was getting ready to go,” she says. After seeing her mom head off to the Third World country twice, Fryer was ready to go herself. “When Mom first went, I really wanted to go,” she says. She was too young at the time, but this time around she’s ready and looking for-

ward to the trip. “I thought it was amazing and I think it will be a great experience for her,” MasonFryer says of her daughter’s desire to take part. Every participant is covering their own costs, however the group is holding some fundraising events in an effort to raise $20,000 to purchase the needed equipment once they arrive in Uganda. A fundraising dinner — Project Clean Water — is planned for Tuesday, Oct. 5 at Sharkey’s Seafood Bar and Grille in Ladner. There will be raffle prizes and a salmon dinner. There are two seatings — 5 and 7 p.m. — and reservations are recommended. Call 604-946-7793. The group has also set up an account at the Tsawwassen bottle depot under the name Watoto. Donations can also be made through the South Delta Baptist Church in Tsawwassen or Waterscene in Ladner. Tax receipts are available for donations of more than $20.

Christina Sestan says Mark Pinckard has provided her with inspiration to battle breast cancer. into adulthood. “I’ve always been interested in sports,” he says, but he didn’t start seriously running until four years ago. And when he did, he aimed high. “My first run was a marathon.” Soon after Pinckard competed in his first triathlon. “I had to learn how to swim to do that,” he says. Over the past four years, Pinckard has competed in countless races and racked up 55 podium finishes. This year, he completed the annual Vancouver Sun Run in 36:25 while running with the elite section of runners. Pinckard competed in the 2010 Canadian Masters track and field championship and the Provincial Masters track and field championship where he brought home five gold medals, one silver and one bronze. He holds masters records for the 100-, 200- and 800metre distances for the Richmond-based Kajaks running club. Sestan and Pinckard

A local couple is rallying the troops tomorrow to raise money for breast cancer research in the Run for the Cure. However, as Christina Sestan, Mark Pinckard and their friends and family embark on the run tomorrow, they will be doing so with a very personal connection. Sestan, a life coach, has spent the last few months battling breast cancer. After her diagnosis in late February, the Ladner couple decided to assemble Tina’s Team to raise money to benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Coincidentally, the day of the run also marks the end of her round of chemotherapy treatments. Not surprisingly, Sestan calls the day she received her cancer diagnosis as “the worst day of my life.” However, she says she has received tremendous support and inspiration from Pinckard throughout the battle. “Mark is an endurance athlete who experiences a lot of pain and pushes through it,” she says. “He’s my biggest hero.” Pickard uses the term “gutting it out” to describe how he pushes through the difficult parts of a race and Sestan has adopted that same mantra to help her get through the tough days of cancer treatment. Pickard has “gutted it out” to the podium in a number of races even though competing is relatively new for the 50-yearold. He had always been active growing up but got away from it as he moved

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW In the days following the 2009 provincial election, Wally Oppal became somewhat of a tragic figure. Rejected by the voters in Delta South, the former attorney general and B.C. Supreme Court judge found himself without a job after agreeing to switch ridings in a bid to bolster party fortunes. I don’t suspect the Liberals, or even Oppal himself, thought they were taking as big a gamble as it turned out to be when he agreed to turn VancouverFraserview over to Kash Heed in return for the not so friendly confines of Delta South. Sure, independent Vicki Huntington had given Liberal MLA Val Roddick a good scare four years earlier, but this was Oppal, a high-profile cabinet minister, who would be lining up across from the popular former council member. As it turns out, and hindsight is certainly 20/20, the Liberals made a grave tactical error by exposing one of their star candidates. The likeable and well respected Oppal endured the wrath of the electorate for what his party and his predecessor either did or didn’t do, eventually coming up 32 votes short of Huntington after a judicial recount. Following that unexpected (at least for Liberals) confirmation, it was widely viewed that Oppal had taken one for the team and that Premier Gordon Campbell owed him. Big time. Given his vast legal background, both as a lawyer and from a quarter century on the bench, it seemed like a no-brainer that Oppal would be tapped to lead one of those commissions or inquiries the government routinely requires. He had already undertaken a province-wide policing probe in the 1990s, which further bolstered his credentials for such a posting, not that his resume needed any padding, mind you. So when Attorney General Mike de Jong announced this week that his predecessor would lead the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, a review of the handling of the grisly Robert Pickton case, it came as absolutely no surprise. On the surface, it appears to be an opportunity to pay back a loyal Liberal for his willingness to walk into the lion’s den 18 months ago, and there’s no denying that element exists here, but it would be disrespectful to Oppal to suggest that’s the reason for his appointment. Critics have expressed concerns over his Liberal ties and previous comments on the subject, but when it gets right down to it, I suspect the current attorney general would have been hard pressed to find a more qualified person to head the inquiry.

COMMUNITY COMMENT They didn’t even look nervous riding the subway on the morning of the race. Instead, they drank coffee, laughed, talked with friends — definitely all things I would not be doing if I were about to run from Tsawwassen to North Vancouver or Ladner to Birch Bay, Washington. No, I would probably be crapping my pants. There’s no doubt that people who run marathons, or in this case, the 40,000 people who decided to run the Berlin Marathon last Sunday, need an exceptional amount of ambition, dedication and support. They also need the balls to decide to run 42.195 kilometres in the first place. Something I’ve wondered since I was a kid is what makes someone decide to run a marathon, and then get up the next morning and

run another, and another, and then repeat this routine until 8,000 kilometres is behind you. I don’t think I had a clue until about six weeks ago. My German class this past summer had two North Americans in it: myself and a 75-year-old woman from Washington, DC. The rest were, on average, much younger than my American counterpart and came from places like Poland, France, Egypt, Norway and Serbia. Near the end of our term, we were each expected to conduct a presentation to the class on a “national hero” from our home country. I soon started learning about Serbish revolutionaries, Egyptian politicians and American Founding Fathers, but had no idea who I could claim to the class was a “national hero” of Canada — we’re so humble about this kind of stuff anyway. I thought about Lester B. Pearson, who organized the first UN peacekeeping troops, Sidney Crosby, who won us gold, or Tommy Douglas, who brought us universal healthcare. In the end, it was a friend who reminded me of someone who I think truly reflects the mentality, nature and grit of

Canadians: Terry Fox. What I didn’t expect from the whole exercise was how my classmates would react. None of them had ever heard of Fox, not even the American, and so interrupted me every few minutes with, “He did what?”, “But wait, he only had one leg?”, “How far is it from St. John’s to Thunder Bay?”, “How old was he?” and, at the end of the class, they all had the same question: “How can I donate?” The most astounding thing about Fox was that he seemed and looked and acted so ordinary. He studied kinesiology at SFU, played basketball, was still a kid. He was a normal person who did extraordinary things, which is a lesson that translates into every language. Most of the people running the Berlin Marathon seemed and looked and acted so ordinary too, but what set them apart from the thousands of people watching on the sidelines was the decision — as crazy as it seemed — to run a very, very long distance. They simply made the choice, and then like all decisions you keep close to the heart, didn’t stop working until they reached their goal.

HST is good for B.C. business

Editor: This letter is in response to recent letters to the editor critical of the HST. While we understand the frustration of many British Columbians regarding the way the HST was implemented, it’s worth taking the long view of how the tax will benefit this and upcoming generations of British Columbians. The HST helps us to pass on a more competitive province to our children and grandchildren by stabilizing the B.C. businesses that keep our families employed. B.C. businesses and jobs are stabilized when tax reform like the HST lowers business expenses and

improves opportunities for new investment. For example, the cost to transport goods has already decreased because the seven per cent PST portion of the HST on every shipping receipt can now be recovered by businesses. Savings are not limited to a few big businesses; savings will be seen on the purchase of a new stove for a restaurant, a new truck for a construction company and a new treadmill for your local gym. No question about it. The HST is good for business. And that means the HST is good for B.C. jobs. John Winter Chair Smart Tax Alliance

Extend holidays for elementary school students instead of closing schools to balance the budget, which is a shortsighted approach to a change in demographics. 10. Turn some schools into unique learning centres such as fine arts and trades centres. My goal is to increase the positive outcomes for the students of Delta and keep schools in the community. One way to do this is to involve more students in the decision-making process and reach out to parents, teachers and staff for new ideas and practical solutions to the issues facing the district.

Many school districts in the province, including Delta, are experiencing declining enrollment that is putting the squeeze on funding. Below are 10 strategies to cope with declining enrollment without shutting down schools: 1. Cooperate with Surrey school district to fill empty seats in Delta. 2. Attract more international students with specialized English language and quality homestay programs. 3. Use school facilities for continuing education and advanced placement classes. 4.

Another batch of book reviews to reduce the number needing attention, and then back to a session of reminiscing about the west side of Delta Street. First, we must have a quotation about books. Here’s one by Samuel

Butler who, in his time, wrote a lot on the subject: Books should be tried by a judge and jury as though they were a crime. That was Butler’s opinion. I don’t agree. The Quadra Story, A History of Quadra Island, by Jeanette Taylor, is the product of decades of research that dates back to Taylor’s years with the B.C. Archives and the museum at Campbell River. The result is an understanding of the turmoil that European settlement brought for the First Nations people and the privation settlers experienced in their search for a better life. Quadra Island, the largest and most populated of the Discovery Islands at the north end of Georgia Strait, has a history loaded with adventure, from the warriors of the 19th century to the loggers, gold miners and ranchers who followed. Taylor tells the story of her island home, with tales of people like Chief Billy Assu, who held a potlatch that cost him $25,000;

Reginald Pidcock, the crusty potlatch-busting Indian agent; and Helen Bull, mistress of the Heriot Bay Hotel. Here’s what Dave Obee of the Victoria Times Colonist wrote about the work: “Sometimes a book of local history is much more than that — it is a labour of love as well, a valuable addition to any library of B.C. coastal history and its appeal will not be limited to people with roots on the island.” TRAGEDY At Second Narrows by Eric Jamieson is the story of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. It was the winner of the 2009 LieutenantGovernor’s Medal for historical writing, published by Harbour Publishing. On June 27, 1958, Vancouver experienced the worst industrial accident in its history when the bridge being built across Burrard Inlet collapsed into the waters of Second Narrows, killing 18 workers. The shocking thing was the bridge was not an

old decrepit structure but a new one being erected with all the support that modern engineering could provide. That somebody had made a colossal error seemed obvious. TRAGEDY unravels one of Vancouver’s mysteries with the appeal of a detective novel. The author returned to the scene and reconstructed the tragic event, introducing the cast of politicians, construction bosses, engineers and ironworkers involved. He relives the terrifying moments when the structure began to crack and drop. In the end readers will have learned about the world of big-time bridge building and will be left with a picture of how a disaster took shape and plunged to its inevitable conclusion. For over 30 years Jamieson made his living as a banker, working around the province. He has served 18 years on boards of museums, most recently with the North Vancouver Museum and Archives.

Henry’s Glasses to debut at film fest BY

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Tsawwassen’s Brendan Uegama is looking forward to premiering his short film, Henry’s Glasses, at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

sawwassen’s Brendan Uegama is set to premiere his short film at the Vancouver International Film Festival later this month. “I’m pretty excited to have it shown there. It’s great to be premiered in the hometown because everybody who worked on it can come out and see it and be part of the festival,” says Uegama, a Capilano College grad. The film, titled Henry’s Glasses, is about the internment of Japanese Canadians in B.C. during the Second World War. It centres around a young boy, Henry, who’s in a camp known as Tashme, and receives a pair of glasses from his grandfather. Before he dies, the grandfather says the glasses are magical and can show Henry a better land outside the internment camp. Henry goes on to befriend an old man at the camp, Mr. Yamamoto, and helps him deal with the situation using the magic glasses. Uegama is pleased with the way the film, which is around 20 minutes long, turned out. “I’m happy with it. I couldn’t be more happy,” he says in a phone interview from Toronto, where he’s working on separate films. Uegama shot Henry’s Glasses last fall in the Sunshine Valley on sets constructed at the end of a long logging road on the top of a mountain at 4,000 feet above sea level. The project spent months in development, months in pre-production and construction but only took about a week to shoot. Uegama, who also wrote the film, interviewed people who were interned, including his own dad, Walter, who was

interned at the Greenwood camp when he was eight. Walter ended up becoming a cast member in the movie. “It was such a unique opportunity to have my father be part of this film,” says Uegama in a press release. “It wasn’t planned as he auditioned for the film as an afterthought. But his performance really gave the Mr. Yamamoto character such depth that we couldn’t see anyone else in this role. It brought a lot of emotion to his character, and made for an outstanding performance.” The upcoming appearances at the Vancouver International Film Festival will be the first public screening for the film. Uegama has held private screenings for members of the Directors Guild of Canada, which funded the film, and for friends and family. Uegama is also submitting the film to other film festivals, including Sundance, Beverly Hills and events in Japan and Australia. “We’re going to start doing the festival run, then we’re going to start looking into distribution, [to] try and get it out there to television and educational media,” he says. The filmmaker also has plans to create a documentary on the Japanese Canadian internment as well as a feature film. Uegama has worked on narrative films, documentaries, music videos and commercial productions. He was also the coproducer and creative director of an annual 48-hour film festival and competition in Vancouver that ran for three years. Henry’s Glasses premieres at the Vancouver International Film Festival on Monday, Oct. 11 at 3:30 p.m. at Pacific Cinematheque and at 9:30 p.m. at Empire Granville 7 Theatre 2.

he prospect of a visit to the past leaves us thinking of how we can possibly step back in time. Wouldn’t it be fun, if only for an afternoon? A grain elevator near Alberta’s eastern border invites visitors to take a different perspective on time-travelling with its Climb Thru Time Museum. The historical journey takes visitors past a variety of scenes from Prairie life, ranging from the farmyard to an early school room to horse-drawn implements. Bill Dobson of the Paradise Valley and District Museum Society said the intention was to present a view of pioneer life in Western Canada, not just in Paradise Valley and area. The community is located 220 kilometres east of Edmonton, between Lloydminster and Wainwright. After 15 years of operation, the museum attracts a steady flow of school and seniors groups as well as the public — about 3,000 people a year. The visitors are not only Albertans, Dobson said, pointing out that one year the museum attracted guests from nine provinces, one territory and 30 countries. That demonstrates “how tourism is possible, even in a little place,” he said. The Paradise Valley museum includes the grain elevator, the annex where the Climb Thru Time is

located and a tiny railway station. While wooden grain elevators dominated the Prairie skyline for decades, they have been disappearing rapidly in the last quarter century, especially in Alberta. Fewer than 250 elevators remain of the 1,800 that were built across the province. To visitors from other parts of the country, grain elevators serve as the quintessential symbol of Western Canada. As wooden elevators have disappeared, their role has been usurped by much larger inland grain terminals, concrete structures that lack the visual appeal of their wooden forebears. Not only have the elevators disappeared, but the rail lines that served them have also been abandoned and the tracks removed. Faced with the rapid disappearance of these landmarks, Alberta supporters banded

together to save a few of those that remain. Communities such as Andrew, St. Albert, Paradise Valley, Acadia Valley

and Nanton are among those that have saved their elevators and converted them to museums. A Leduc group is in the process of turning its elevator into an

interpretive centre. The experiences at the elevators vary from a visit to the grain-unloading area and office to a demonstration of the workings of an elevator at the ReynoldsAlberta Museum in Wetaskiwin. The Climb Thru Time Museum fills the annex, which is larger than most, standing nearly as tall as the elevator. The gently sloping walkway takes visitors past a series of dioramas — scenes that depict pioneer life in Western Canada. Dobson said the group purchased the elevator, the last of six that once stood in the village, in 1989. The society bought the structure from

Alberta Wheat Pool and CP Rail donated the land. Several years were spent in cleaning and construction before the museum opened in 1995. Ironically, the museum

that provides a good demonstration of how elevators operate is not one of these preserved buildings — it’s a large display at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum. The display not only shows how a truck unloads grain, but also reveals a part of the elevator — the area with grain handling chutes — that most museums can’t show since it’s off-limits at the top of the building. “Our visitors do find the grain elevator to be quite interesting,” said Kerry Atkinson, educator at the museum. “With many visitors coming from other parts of the country or the world, they find the workings to be a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Prairies.” For senior citizens, the elevator unleashes a flood of memories since these buildings were an important part of the social life in a community. “Many of our older visitors tell us stories from their lives that involved an elevator and how our exhibit makes them relive their past,” Atkinson said. In addition to the grain elevator display, the Reynolds-Alberta Museum houses one of Canada’s best collections of agricultural machinery and collector cars and trucks.

native plants. People often filch a bit from the wild and plant it in their gardens, but it can be a problem to control even there. Q. I just received my little Rose of Sharon Freedom through mail order and was advised to plant it as soon as possible. With the current cold weather, should I set it out now or repot it in a bigger pot and store

it in the garage until next spring? A. The Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) will do best removed from the pot and planted outside this fall in a sheltered, sunny spot. Protect it from cold by piling leaves, straw or bark mulch on top of the soil around your plant. Remove the mulch in spring after frost.

If you garden only in containers, putting it in a bigger pot is a good idea. In the garage you will need to be very careful to water so the soil stays gently moist. In very cold snaps you may need to bring it inside until the worst of the cold is over. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her c/o amarrison@shaw.ca.

Technology trap Sharing a cup of “live” tea boiled strong on a wood stove, Aunt Gladdie White shared the story of the telephone’s coming to the Newfoundland Out port. People could now phone her. They no longer had to walk down her lane to sit in her parlor. Ironically, now able to communicate with greater effectiveness, she was dying of loneliness. Facebook creates the illusion of communicating with greater effectiveness. I have a Facebook page primarily to connect with geographically distant family. I text my children but it is poor substitute for a hug. A young girl is raped multiple times at a party gone out of control. Graphic images of that assault are posted online. In Grade 6 I could escape the school yard bully when classes ended. Cyberbullying is now

24/7. For the sake of “high tech” have we become “low touch?” The Internet is a standard tool in the church’s communication kit. If Jesus was Aunt Gladdie’s minister, would he expect her to check the church’s website or would he walk down the lane for tea? Certainly we’ve gained a lot, but what have we lost? Christians need to ask themselves when using the tools of a “high tech” world: Does my use of these deepen my relationship to Jesus or distance me from him? Whatever spiritual path you follow, our minimum common ground for ethical behavior has to be the Golden Rule. When I use the electronic tools of the 21st century, am I doing to my neighbour what I would want done to me?

Jobke goes Wild with hockey career

Impressive showing at NHL club’s rookie camp results in three-year contract for Tsawwassen defenceman BY

After earning a three-year entry level contract with the Minnesota Wild, Tsawwassen defenceman Colton Jobke (6) has rejoined the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets where he is expected to play a key role this season. role,” he said. “When you are between 14-and-16-years-old and getting the opportunity to be in the gym and on the ice an additional two or three times a week on top of your team’s regular schedule, it’s really going to help.” Jobke was selected by the Rockets in the WHL Bantam draft and played one season in the B.C.

comprised of the top players from B.C. and Alberta for the World U17 Hockey Challenge. He quickly overcame the disappointed by showing up at the Penticton Vees training camp and promptly earning a roster spot with the B.C. Hockey League powerhouse. The plan was to play one season in the BCHL then make the jump to the Rockets but it was a decision that was hardly clear cut.

“I really enjoyed my time in Penticton and thought about just staying there and going the college route instead,” he said. “It was a really tough decision that came down to the final three or four weeks before I made up my mind. “The biggest thing was what would prepare me the most to have a shot at the NHL? That’s what makes the WHL’s 72-game schedule attractive compared to

Now they are asking more of him this season and have even named him an assistant captain. “I think they were looking for a little leadership on the back end,” he said.

No one would blame Colton Jobke if he was feeling a little bit Wild these days about his hockey career. The 18-year-old defenceman from Tsawwassen not only has a leading role with the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets, he’s doing it with an NHL contract in his back pocket. As an undrafted invite, Jobke beat the odds to sign a threeyear entry level deal with the Minnesota Wild last week after an impressive showing at the club’s rookie camp. Jobke was one of three blueliners to earn contracts following a week-long prospects tournament held in Traverse City, Michigan. The 6-foot, 170-pounder made enough of of an impression in the three games he suited for. “We practiced in the morning and had games in the evening,” said Jobke. “There were some free agents there but mostly their draft picks. About midway through the camp, they were already talking to my agent (about a contract) so my fingers were crossed that everything was going to workout.” What makes the accomplishment even more impressive was June’s NHL Entry Draft being nothing more than an after thought to him He played 69 games in his rookie season with the Rockets, compiling eight assists and 71 penalty minutes in a stay-at-home role. He had made steady progress as the campaign unfolded but it wasn’t enough to have any serious discussions with NHL scouts. Still, the Wild phoned his agent just 10 minutes after the draft had concluded and Jobke at least had his foot in the door. Making the most of the opportunity is something he has been doing much of his career. He grew up in the South Delta Minor Hockey system and saw his game really begin to flourish in the hockey academy at South Delta secondary. “I really think it played a huge

Midget Canadians off to impressive start

Greater Vancouver Canadians are set for their first weekend home series of the season after an impressive 3-1 start out of the gate. The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League team, which features the top 15-to-17-year-olds from Richmond, Delta and Vancouver, managed a split with the Okanagan Rockets last weekend in Kelowna. The hosts opened the series with a 6-4 win on Saturday and the Canadians answered with a 3-1 win Sunday, behind the solid goaltending of Tristan Jarry. A week earlier, the Canadians put on a defensive clinic against the North Island Silvertips — producing 4-0 and 30 victories. Goalscorers in game two included South Delta Minor products Jeremy Gossard and MacCoy Erkamps. The Canadians entertain the Thompson Blazers this weekend with game one set for today at Sungod Arena and the series concluding at 11:30 a.m. Sunday in Ladner.

Delta Ice Hawks Dominic Toigo just fails to convert this scoring chance during his team’s 4-3 win over the Mission Icebreakers on Tuesday night. The Hawks also defeated Aldergrove on Wednesday to extend their win streak to six games.

The Delta Ice Hawks used another big first period on the road Wednesday night to extend their win streak to six games. The Hawks scored three times in the opening period en route to a 6-3 win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in a rematch of last year’s Pacific International Junior Hockey League championship series. Goals from Liam Harding, Jamus Lane, and Aaron Merrick gave Delta a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. The teams exchanged second period tallies with Alex Martin and Anthony Brito scoring for the visitors. The Kodiaks made it 5-3 before Harding extended his lead atop the PIJHL scoring race with his second of the night in the final minute of play. Doug Birks made 31 saves and has been in goal for all six wins. The Hawks were fresh off a 4-3 win over the Mission Icebreakers one night earlier. They looked poise to make short work of the visitors when goals by Spencer Traher, John Proctor and Merrick opened up a 3-0 lead. However, the Kodiaks, with just one win in six starts, weren’t going to go away that easily. It was 3-2 after 40 minutes and the hosts needed a third period insurance goal from defenceman Ryan Mana to pull out the victory. Mitchell Pacey chipped in with a pair of assists, while Birks made 20 saves. The Ice Hawks visit Port Moody tonight and return home Tuesday to meet the Grandview Steelers at 7:30 p.m.

As fitness professionals, the question we get asked most often is: “What is the best way for me to lose weight?” At Muscle Memory, our philosophy is: “Eat well, eat often, workout effectively, and workout often.” We teach, preach and live by a lifestyle, not a fix or Jean Hamilton fad. For true results that last more than a few months, it is essential to pursue a sustainable nutrition and workout plan. We are all tempted by the “quick and easy.” Cleanses claim to be a “kick start,” but life lasts longer than a 5 or 30 day program. Many gyms promise extreme weight loss in 2-4 weeks, but what happens after that? How does starving yourself or risking injury due to an unsafe workout plan make you more likely to meet your weight loss goals, or more importantly, improve

your standard of living? At Muscle Memory, we offer a realistic approach to weight management and healthy living through our own unique approach to nutrition, fitness and lifestyle. Shannon, our nutritionist,

body. Basically, a vibration platform is designed to do most of the work for you; contracting your muscles in the same way that you may do yourself if you were performing exercises without the aid of vibration. Manufacturers claim that WBV has the ability to stimulate over 80% of the muscle fibers in a specific muscle group whereas in conventional training you only use around 30 – 40% of them, making each muscle contraction more significant which may produce faster and more effective results. WBV also works the entire muscle group on multiple axes versus traditional which works a single, linear axis.

Spa Time

A vibration platform is a resistance machine providing an outcome similar to ‘working out’ with free weights or weightbearing equipment. In traditional strength and power training, the load on the muscles is determined by the weight lifted. When using the Vibration Platform, a specific frequency and amplitude of vibration is chosen and the movement of the plate loads the limbs. The vibration platform forces one’s body to have involuntary muscle contractions and depending on the speed and frequency chosen, one can have thousands of muscle contractions per minute. This muscle activity burns calories and stimulates blood and oxygen flow throughout the

Smoke alarms are inexpensive and easy to install, but they can’t help save lives if they’re not properly installed or maintained. Here are some tips: • Ensure there is a working smoke alarm on every floor of the home and out-

side every sleeping area. • Have a friend or relative test your smoke alarm while you are asleep to ensure you can hear it. • Once a month, test the battery by pushing the test button and drift smoke from a snuffed out candle into

the alarm. • Once a year, change the battery. • To clean the smoke alarm, open the cover and gently vacuum the unit with a soft brush attachment. • Replace smoke alarms more than 10 years old.

Research over three decades has shown that modern homes may be making house fires more deadly than ever before. Newer homes and furnishings are made with more synthetics that make fires ignite and burn faster. They also release more toxic gases when burned. Most fire victims die from smoke or toxic gases and not from actual burns. Deadly conditions are reached much more quickly now than in the 1970s when more natural materials were used in home construction and furnishings. Over 30 years ago, an important study conducted tests in actual homes with sizes and floor plans, furniture and items, and smoke alarms on the market. That report concluded smoke alarms generally provided the necessary escape time for different fire types and locations. This research led

www.corp.delta.bc.ca

Mayor and Council extend their sincere gratitude to all members of Delta Fire & Emergency Services - we are fortunate to have such a dedicated group of firefighters protecting and serving our community. We are always impressed by the bravery and professionalism exhibited by our Delta firefighters.

Deadly conditions are reached much more quickly now than in the 1970s when more natural materials were used in home construction and furnishings. to the popular use of smoke alarms in residential settings. A more recent 2005 study found a troubling difference with the previous investigation. The amount of safe escape time was consistently shorter and the fire growth rates were faster. It is thought that synthetic materials currently found in homes contributed to this change. The study concluded that because fires could be more aggressive, the time needed to escape home fires has been reduced from approxi-

mately 17 minutes to as little as three minutes. This gives less time for occupants to escape a fire and is shorter than the seven-minute response time target for fire services. This disparity can mean the difference between life and death. In May 2008, Alberta Municipal Affairs launched a public education and awareness campaign to make citizens aware of the three-minute window of safety in a house fire and the seven-minute fire services response time. The campaign serves as a reminder of our personal responsibility for fire safety: the prevention of fires in the first place; the detection of smoke and fire with working smoke alarms as a second line of defense; and evacuation to safety by having a well-rehearsed fire escape plan as the third and most important action.

Make sure your household is prepared – test your smoke alarms and have an evacuation plan in place.

(nee O’Callaghan)

Feb 15, 1940- Sept 13, 2010.

PARKINSON Richard Eric (Rick) Dec. 19, 1920 – Sept. 7, 2010 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Father and Grandfather. Rick passed away peacefully in his sleep at Delta Hospital. He was 89 years old. Rick was a Certified Orthotist and owner for many years of Hodgson Orthotics where he had a passion for helping people in need. He will also be remembered by many for his love of Square Dancing and summers at Anglemont on Shuswap Lake. Rick is survived by his wife of 61 years, Frances, sons Gerald Eric (Anita) and Kenneth Earl (Mary) and seven grandchildren Steven, Michael, James, David, Laura, Jennifer, and Kyle, and his brother Garth. Grandad was very proud of his children and all his grandchildren. He will be sadly missed. The family extends our deep appreciation for the care and compassion shown by the nurses and staff at the Waterford Care Center. Expressions of sympathy can be sent to gerryparkinson@gmail.com.

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Ann Hupka after a 2 year battle with Cancer. Ann will be very much missed and lovingly remembered by daughters Caitlin (Josh) and Mikki and grandchildren Sophia and Ronin. Ann was born In London, England and after traveling the world and sharing a great romance with Ray Hall, chose to settle down in the Lower Mainland and start a family with Dennis Hupka. Ann enjoyed gardening, reading and continuing her love of traveling the globe. In the last few years she was able to visit China and Australia with her dear friend Sandi and even enjoyed one last Hawaiian holiday with her family after being diagnosed with Cancer. Cremation has already taken place and there will be no service at Ann’s request. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Vancouver Children’s Hospital in Ann’s name.

In loving memory of Dolly “Violet Elizabeth” Wilson 1910 - 2004 We thought about you yesterday and days before that too, We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. We think of you in silence and often speak your name, All we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Rest in peace sweet Grandma. With love from your family

Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent lies on home, children, security, gardening, nutrition, Mother Nature, foundations and basics. A streak of romance runs through your days (e.g., this Friday/Saturday) – right into next January. If you’re happily married, you’ll bask in love of children, creative joys, nature’s beauty, sports and/or simple pleasures, speculation, gambling, etc. Chase money Sunday. A Monday disagreement might be building with your mate over domestic/property concerns. It’s minor, but points to larger issues. Run errands, chat Tuesday/Wednesday. Friday p.m. starts an intriguing weekend! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: It’s a busy time but not an important time, Leo. Do paperwork, errands, chat, travel, email, schedule (especially Wednesday/ Thursday) but rest on a deeper level. Pause to watch nature, to meditate, contemplate, or simply to drink in family joys. (You’re a sweet’n’sour mixture in domestic arenas – after October, only the sweet will remain.) You shine Sunday, your charisma and energy surge. Chase money carefully Monday to Wednesday. (Your work habits need an overhaul: work smarter, not harder.) Friday afternoon begins a long, deep, renewing weekend – family reunions are blessed! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Money, earnings, buying/selling ﬁll this month. Your days bring interesting errands, casual meetings, paperwork, communications – a casual friendship could develop into a light romance (likely Oct. 8-10). You might sense that under a surface of free and easy ﬂirtation a deeper “turn” is lurking – and it is. (Ditto in all areas – lightness hides depths. E.g., light communications or errands/travel could lead to an investment.) For students and intellectuals, October is a superb month for research and writing. Rest, lie low Sunday. Your energy and charisma rise Monday eve to Wednesday.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections Aries March 21 - April 19: A powerful week for relationships,marriage,businesspartnerships,dealing with the public, opportunities, possible fame. What transpires now will have “sweet echoes” for three months. Love relationships are helped by October’s high level of sexual desire. Business partnerships might go through a process of re-arrangement, buyout, or balancing of assets/ownership. (All through October, with “lingering trailers” to January 2011.) Be diplomatic, ﬂexible; if you insist on your way, you might turn opportunities into refusals, potential partners into competitors. Romance Sunday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The monthly emphasis lies on employment, chores, machinery, dependents and health. A new job can arise Wednesday onward. An important affectionate relationship might be developing – although you could begin to have a few mild doubts about your commitment to this bond. The same might be said about a contract, negotiation, relocation opportunity, or litigation. This indecision is due to a temporary factor. By late November, December, you’ll return to certainty about bonding with a person, place, agreement, etc., so remain optimistic. Excitement or disagreement grows Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance (with a coworker?) pleasure, beauty are at the top of your wish list. You’re on a winning streak – you can succeed in speculation, gaming, sports and creative ventures. All these, from romance to creativity, are marked by a new sobriety, slowness and carefulness. Good, these will eventually bring depth, strength and durability to any love or venture you undertake. Your health needs attention. Your career ambitions will get an autumn boost (be active but patient: fastest progress comes in December). Rest early week. Wednesday to Saturday brings romantic (et al) excitement!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma, energy, effectiveness and confidence soar, especially Wednesday afternoon to the weekend. Get out, start major projects, tackle difficult situations. See and be seen – be there in person. You’ll impress others. A sensual relationship attracts you all autumn – or you might pursue a luxury purchase. Either way, don’t be discouraged if mild delays occur next week to midto late November: success will still be the outcome. Sunday’s social, happy. But retreat, rest and plan mid-day Monday to mid-day Wednesday. If you have to insist Monday, it signals future incompatibility. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, replenish energies. Life is sending a mixed message: your sexual/partnership magnetism is high, but the energy you need to act on it is low. Reflect on what you really want in love, so when your energy rises (Oct. 23 onward) you can chase the right person. There’s no rush – your unusual attractiveness will last into early January. Meanwhile, attend to neglected duties, governmental or institutional contacts, and administrative chores. Follow charitable urges. Drink spiritual breaths, envision your future. Tuesday, happiness! Saturday highlights that magnetism! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes come true, but in a quiet, sober way. Optimism, light romance, popularity, entertainment and social joys fill this month. Many of your deepest desires stay hidden, which can lead to a clandestine attraction, or might simply leave you quiet and contemplative despite your happiness. Realize that now to late 2012, your real wish is for money. Start thinking of ways to make this one come true. Your real estate luck returns, now to late January. Sunday’s mellow, loving. Monday brings a disagreement about money and the future. Midweek offers joy, friends. Rest, Friday eve, Saturday.

Oct. 3 - Oct. 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your status in the community.You’ll meet with bigwigs or authorities, or feel their influence, especially Wednesday to Friday. If meeting, put on your charm – your social skills are tops now into next January. You might meet a “just right” romantic prospect in a group – if Monday to Wednesday, he/she will be obviously drawn to you. If late month – Oct. 22 to 24 — you will be the pursuer. Life’s depths, sex, finances, major commitments intrigue you Sunday. Wisdom Monday/Tuesday. Happiness Friday eve, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: For you, October is always loving, gentle, wise and compassionate. But this October your sweet mood can be slightly sullied by either 1) a temptation to use romance as a rung on the ladder of ambition, or 2) frustration that true love is unavailable. Realize that temptation and denial/ frustration are two manifestations of the same thing. (True love is never denied, but blocked by temptation.) Or, you might find true love now, especially Sunday (opposites attract) Monday-Wednesday (lust) Wednesday-Friday (gentle mind-meld) or Friday/ Saturday (nervous romance). An interesting week! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You swim in life’s depths now: subconscious urges rise, your dreams intrigue, hunches prove accurate – rely on them when making consequential decisions. Commitments are serious, in finances, intimacy, lifestyle areas. What you do now can change your life. That applies particularly to love of a marriage/wedding kind, and to legal affairs touching on earnings and/or possessions (Friday/Saturday). A few months ago you had powerful ambitions, optimism about your prospects – grab those again, because you’re on a lucky four-month roll in career, worldly ambitions. Opportunities Tuesday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
