Port pushes Reach over top

Society is able to ‘close the door’ on fundraising after $400,000 commitment DAVE WILLIS

d w i l l i s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The Reach Child and Youth Development Society is now able to “close the door” on construction costs for its planned child development centre in Ladner.

It was announced last Friday that the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and its Port Gala partners have committed to providing the remaining $400,000.

“With your generosity and our community of support, in just over a year from now Reach will be moving into its new accessible 20,000-square foot community-based child development centre,” society president Donna Burke told the audience at Tsawwassen Springs. “It will allow our organization to help change the lives of so many more children each year.”

Reach currently serves more than 1,000 children with special needs and their families annually.

Vancouver Fraser Port Authority president and CEO Robin Silvester explained the port is committed to providing $100,000 and then collectively with its Port Gala partners, is committing another $300,000.

The gala is an annual event that brings together port tenants, suppliers and

A $400,000 funding commitment for the Reach Child and Youth Development Society’s planned child development centre in Ladner was announced last Friday at an event at Tsawwassen Springs. partners to raise money for community organizations, he said.

It has raised money for Reach for the past three years, he added. The partners include DP World Vancouver, Fraser Surrey Docks, Global Container Terminals and Western Stevedoring.

“As the federal authority that oversees and manages the Port of Vancouver, one of our goals is to enable thriving communities in

the municipalities where we operate, including, of course, here in Delta where we have such a big footprint,” he said.

Mayor Lois Jackson said Reach recognizes the uniqueness of each and every child and that we are “very fortunate to have this organization in Delta.”

She said Delta is proud to partner with Reach for the construction of its new centre, adding the municipality is providing a $1

million contribution along with servicing valued at an additional $1.3 million.

Reach alumnus Myles McKie was the keynote speaker at the event.

McKie, who lives with autism, said his time with Reach was brief, lasting a little over a year, but it was long enough to make a big difference in his outlook.

“My friends at Reach did not set out to cure my autism. They generally cared about my wellbeing.

They wanted me to flourish. And I have,” he said.

McKie, who does plenty of public speaking, said he’s held a full-time job with a large national firm for the last five years.

“Many families lose hope when faced with the difficulties of raising a child with special needs.

I want to share my story to help struggling families move forward. I want other children and youth to access help that I had.”

Delta South Liberals to select candidate tonight SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Delta South Liberals will be selecting their man tonight.

The riding association is holding a candidate selection meeting at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner to decide who will

represent the party in next spring’s provincial election.

Civic councillor Ian Paton and former longtime police chief Jim Cessford were the only two to put their names forward for the nomination.

The candidates will make their pitches to the

crowd tonight before party members vote.

Whichever candidate emerges with the nomination will have to square off next spring against current Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington, who confirmed she will seek a third term.

First elected in 2009,

You have a choice for natural gas With Customer Choice, you can choose to purchase natural gas from FortisBC at a variable rate or an independent gas marketer at fixed rates and terms.

Compare your options at fortisbc.com/yourchoice.

The Customer Choice name and logo is used under license from FortisBC Energy Inc. This advertisement is produced on behalf of the British Columbia Utilities Commission.

Huntington became the first independent in B.C. history to be re-elected when she bested Liberal Bruce McDonald in the 2013 election.

McDonald, also a municipal councillor, had been approached by the party to run in that election. This time around,

however, the Liberals had a pair of high-profile candidates come forward.

The NDP, meanwhile, has yet to announce any potential candidates or nomination meeting for Delta South.

The next provincial election is set for May 9, 2017.

Delta officers gearing up for Tour de Valley Sarah Swallow and Gwen Vaughan-Smith taking part in annual Cops for Cancer fundraising ride IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow and Const. Gwen Vaughan-Smith of the Delta Police Department are set to roll as this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley gets underway tomorrow.

The riders will travel through Delta on

Thursday, Sept. 29, the second to last day of the nine-day, 900-kilometre ride.

For Swallow, this is the third year she has participated in Tour de Valley, which sees about 20 law enforcement and emergency services personnel ride to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“The fundraising always

seems daunting at the start of the year, but once you start getting going and getting involved, you really see how generous people are and the community really gets behind what we are doing,” said Swallow, who is team captain this year.

“When people hear what you are doing, everyone comes up to you and tells you their stories.

Cancer touches us all. It doesn’t know any boundaries in terms of health, race or religion. You are doing this for kids and it really changes things. It’s a really neat thing as a police officer to give back and be a part of the community in a really focused event.”

To date, Swallow has

raised $6,400 through several fundraising events.

During the past two years, she has raised more than $25,000.

Vaughan-Smith is riding for the first time.

“After speaking to past members of this team, it didn’t take long to talk me into joining,” she said.

“This Tour de Valley group is one of a kind — a family of sorts. All from different backgrounds and all have different stories of why they take part. I’m riding to help — to help the families, kids, siblings and parents that have to fight this battle. Funding research is the only way we will improve cancer treatment, prevent cancer and save precious lives.”

To date, Vaughan-Smith

Teen inspires cyclists as they ride cross-country

Nolan McLeod is ambassador for cancer ride

DAVE WILLIS

d w i l l i s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Tsawwassen’s Nolan McLeod did his part to inspire riders taking part in a cross-country cycling trip to raise money for childhood cancer.

As a B.C. ambassador for the 2016 Sears National Kids Cancer Ride, McLeod spoke to riders last week as they kicked off their trek from BC Children’s Hospital.

“I shared my story and I was trying to inspire the riders on their journey,” said McLeod, 17. “That was definitely a great experience.”

It’s amazing what the cyclists are doing, he said, noting a 17-day journey across the country is definitely not an easy task.

McLeod, who’s now in Grade 12 at South Delta Secondary and later hopes to study business at the University of Victoria, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012.

“That was really hard

The next year was followed with lots of intense chemotherapy and once that was finished, McLeod spent two-and-a-half years as an outpatient.

McLeod, who’s healthy and finished with treatment, said he’s thankful he can give back and that he wants to help kids who are still in hospital.

“If I can share my story to help other kids get better … there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.”

The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride is described on its website as one of the “biggest and most ambitious charity cycling events on behalf of childhood cancer in the world.”

It takes place from Vancouver to Halifax with the conclusion set for Sept.

24. Riders cycle relay-style across the country and are joined by others for shorter “stage ride” distances in major cities.

hank goodness we’re not waiting on Metro Vancouver mayors to address our traffic issues.

The mayors’ council, which has been outspoken in its opposition to the provincial government building a bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel, unveiled a very familiar looking transportation plan last Friday. The difference this time is how they’re going to raise the cash and the fact they’re only looking to undertake $2 billion worth of improvements initially, leaving big ticket items for future phases.

Regardless of whether you’re talking about the first phase or the entire 10-year vision, there’s not much meat on the bone as far as Delta is concerned. The colour-coded map of Greater Vancouver details planned improvements throughout the region, including upgrades to existing rapid transit, new rapid transit, new or upgraded B-Line, improved SeaBus, improved West Coast Express, new Pattullo Bridge… stop me when you come across something that will actually benefit commuters in these parts.

In fairness, the plan does identify the provincial effort to replace the tunnel, but beyond that about all we’ll get out of this so-called vision is a fresh coat of asphalt for the park-and-ride and a vague promise of upgrades to the existing bus network.

If Metro mayors don’t think the bridge is a good idea, and they’re entitled to that opinion, then where is their plan to address what’s been called the worst traffic bottleneck in B.C.? Maybe that’s a moot point given it appears to be full steam ahead on the new crossing, but if we’re supposed to shun Victoria’s blacktop solution, what is the alternative we’re expected to endorse?

It seems whenever municipal politicians get together to devise ways to move people around the region, Delta, particularly South Delta, is very much an afterthought. There has been talk for years about a Broadway subway or expanding repaid transit to other areas, but beyond some provincial musings about twinning the tunnel, I can’t recall anything that would materially address the plight of commuters on this side of the river.

I think most people out here recognize it’s darn near impossible to build our way out of traffic congestion, but the alternatives are in short supply.

Bon voyage into the future

I

am on a week-long Canada/ New England cruise and felt you, my loyal readers, also deserve a vacation from my usual rants. So this column will take all of us on a journey 25 years into the future to 2040.

In case you are wondering, my source is solid: the BBC News channel in my stateroom. Hey, it’s the BBC and the accents somehow make it even more credible.

Fasten your seat belts because here we go...

In 2040 there will be 8.7 billion of us sharing this planet. That’s 2.6 billion more people than we have now. OMG, you might shout, how are we going to feed, house, employ and transport all those folks? Relax, my friends, it’s more good than bad.

We are moving quickly to living in a digital world controlled by computers. Trains, buses, cars and trucks will be increasingly automated, meaning driverless.

But cars won’t be flying anytime soon as air traffic controls would be impossible.

There will be huge impacts on employment due to 70 per cent of jobs being done by robots.

However, new fields will open in tech sciences and governance. The delivery of education will change with K to 6 reacting well to a teacher on a big screen, whereas students aged 13+ will learn better from live teachers.

Retail will be digitalized more than it already is with Internet shopping but there will be specialized shopping experiences for those who prefer or enjoy the browse factor. The U.S. dollar will

Community Comment ML BURKE

not dominate, but will still be a player. The Chinese Yuan will be prevalent along with new currencies such as Bitcoin. Netflix and YouTube type of applications will dominate our entertainment viewing.

Not only will most of our food be grown in greenhouses, new foods will be developed using 3-D printers. Insects and algae farming will be common fare, as will growing meats, eliminating the need to raise and slaughter animals.

Delivery of health care will change dramatically in that we will be wearing technology that informs us of changes requiring attention. Science will be able to change our cells at the molecular level, sending good cells to eliminate the diseased cells. They will also be able to extend our lifetime, which begs the question of sustainability for an ever-increasing population.

We will be moving away from fossil fuels toward using renewable energies, but it should be noted, this will take about 100

years to achieve.

Geopolitics will see less global treaties and less division of territories within countries. For instance, Canada and the U.S. would each have their own government, but provinces, states, municipalities and counties would be eliminated or reduced to advisory committees. The world would have one overruling governance body made up of representatives from all countries.

Military defense will rely mostly on drones.

Communication will become a part of us with computers as wearables. Language barriers will be eliminated through instant translations. We will be connected to the web all the time, which begs another question of Big Brother having too much information.

Economics: With 2.6 billion more people roaming about, China and India will be the big consumers. There will be more jobs in the financial fields and a rise in privately held companies.

And finally, the news we get will be 100 per cent unbiased.

Really? This is due to everyone being “connected” and able to verify the interpretation of news stories. Hello truth, goodbye spin and propaganda.

Except for a few questions, I’d say things are looking pretty rosy for the world in 25 years.

ML Burke retired from the health sector to work on issues such as affordable housing. She sits on the Delta Seniors Planning Team and the B.C. Seniors Advocate’s Advisory Council.

Letters

Council struck a good deal with Century Dog owners warned when it approved Southlands project

Editor: Re: Taxpayers just pick up tab, letter to the editor, Sept. 14 I agree with Tom Morrison that trucks along 56th Street delivering fill to the Southlands are regrettable. Construction on higher land might not have required fill, but a desire to preserve forests and good farmland by building on the worst resulted in homes that must be flood proofed.

It seems a stretch to attribute the trucks to “the cynicism and contempt with which our present council regards

us.” Council struck a good deal for us following years of Southlands public hearings and debate.

Century got approval for only one-quarter of the homes it and previous owners wanted. Delta got 80 per cent of the land (425 acres @$100k = $42.5 million?) along with a $9 million up-front payment to cover needed improvements.

More than anyone, Century Group created the Tsawwassen we today enjoy. Most homes are on land the company developed. They are the major contributor to our

hospital, hospice and civic events. And don’t forget Diefenbaker Park. They transformed it from a quarry and gave to us.

Council must respond to growth it cannot control. Canada’s fertility rate, only 1.6 children per woman, is insufficient to maintain its population. Growth and economic prosperity demands immigrants — which Canada selects and admits.

In the Lower Mainland, housing quotas for added families are assigned

by Metro Vancouver to members, including Delta.

Delta can’t barricade its borders. It must support its share of growth.

Council and South Delta business must similarly react to TFN developments. Council hired a consultant to work with both Ladner and Tsawwassen business associations to formulate a plan to manage the impact of these unavoidable changes. The plan we begin to glimpse will surely be the outcome of public hearings where the need and merit of change in our community will be heard and considered.

Ed Ries

Voters defeat plebiscite but transit plan back again Editor: Well, well, well, what was the point of spending all that money on a regional transportation plebiscite last year?

The people voted a big no, but I guess that was just a waste of time and money. I believe we all knew the government was going to do whatever it

wanted anyway despite the outcome of the plebiscite. Why it bothered to even ask us is beyond me.

That is exactly what has happened with the announcement to raise property taxes and TransLink fares to fund the first phase of the transportation plan. Just more money for the hard-work-

ing person to pay out with no more coming in.

When will it stop?

We can’t keep paying more and more to live when our incomes don’t increase. Just waiting for the bubble to burst and it won’t be pretty.

That TV commercial with Premier Christy Clark sitting around a table

with some ladies saying we have to keep taxes down and people have to have more money in their pockets to take care of their families turns my stomach. She should be explaining how much more a 40-cent increase in minimum wage will buy and make life easier.

Carol Plante

Editor: I have noticed in the last month or so dog owners are not cleaning up after their dogs in Bell Park. I used to clean these messes up until I noticed new and different droppings, indicating more dog owners think it’s OK to leave a mess so I stopped (I know other good dog owners picked up too and assume they stopped for the same reasons).

Out for a walk on Saturday morning, I noticed my dog pick

something up. I asked him to spit it out and into my waiting hand he plops a soggy dog poo.

You can imagine my frustration, so I will take a week off work and spend every minute watching where these reprobates live and depositing my now saved dog poo (quite at bit by then, I hope) on their properties.

Imagine having a family outing in Bell Park end with your young child covered in dog poo!

Horrifying!

Derek Hamilton

Visitor grateful for kindness

Editor: I am on holiday from England, staying with friends who recently moved to Ladner, and just had an amazing experience at Safeway.

I was at the checkout but found neither of my debit cards would work, even though they had been fine in other shops, so I asked the assistant to keep the shopping while I fetched cash from my husband when a wonderful

gentleman said he’d pay for me.

Despite my protest, he insisted and I wanted to ask you to print this in the paper so he knows how grateful I am.

We have been visiting B.C. for many years and love it and know Canadians are lovely people but he was a knight in armour as far as I am concerned. We love Ladner and hope to visit again.

Tsawwassen’s Fran Schooley is the clinic manager for the Pacific Lung Health Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“I was very honoured by the nomination,” Schooley said. “The patients are working with you and you hope that it gets through to them, but who knows what you are doing is positive for them, but it validates what you are doing.

This is a very difficult disease to get a handle on, so anything you can do to enhance the patients of course enhances what you are doing. It’s a two-way street.”

As a physician’s assistant and patient liaison leader at St. Paul’s, she serves as an intermediary between patients and physicians, offering a wealth of knowledge on treatment options and support groups.

She was instrumental in founding the regular IPF support group meetings at St. Paul’s — an invaluable resource for those suffering from the disease — and works closely with leading respirologists to identify optimal health care outcomes for her patients.

IPF causes scarring of the lungs, resulting in lung function decline and difficulty breathing. The median survival rate is two to three years after diagnosis. There is no cure.

Fortunately, though, there are eight new research programs at St. Paul’s that look at everything from new treatments for IPF to exercise and life-

style, and how patients can be become more involved in their health care.

A Kiss IPF Goodbye Champion is a Canadian health care provider who has made a positive impact on IPF patients, their families and caregivers through commitment, care and an ongoing desire to make a difference for the IPF community. As part of the program, the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (CPFF) will randomly select one nominee in September to be awarded with a $5,000 educational grant to be put towards advancing knowledge in IPF. “If, in fact, I do get the grant, it will be amazing because it will certainly help the patients, help the support group and help just get the word out about pulmonary fibrosis, which is just so badly misdiagnosed so many times,” Schooley added.

Schooley, with the assistance of the BC Lung Association, will be holding a pulmonary fibrosis patient and family information day on Oct. 21 at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel in Vancouver.

Those wishing to find out more information on the event or to register can call 604-731-5864, email Biagtan@bclung.ca, fschooley@providencehealth.bc.ca or register online at www.bc.lung.ca.

Reno planning not easy

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

The kitchen reno is months away, but it’s taken over my life.

A kitchen, after all, is a room of many parts. And where each of those parts is concerned, there are 1.5 million choices to make.

We started out pragmatically enough. We clipped pictures from magazines.

We became regulars on Pinterest. We tuned in to decorating shows.

“First,” I said to the husband, “we need to decide if we’re bohemian, farmhouse, industrial or urban modern.”

A magazine had told me this was a good idea: to begin by determining our style sensibility.

“I have no idea,” said the husband. “I just want a kitchen that looks nice.”

I had no idea either.

“We should go to stores,” I said. “You know, just to see what we like.”

We got in the car and did just that. I brought a notepad. The magazine had also told me this was a good idea.

We pulled in to the bigbox store, and made our way to the lighting aisle.

“We’re doing lights, right?” asked the husband.

“Yes,” I said. “But should we check countertops first? Or maybe cabinets?

You know, just to make sure everything works together?”

This, the magazine had also informed me: the kitchen parts need to work well together.

The husband shrugged.

“Whatever,” he said.

“Let’s go look at counters, then.”

There were, as near as I could tell, approximately 957 different samples of countertop. Some were shinier than others. Some were brighter than others.

Some were more porous.

I picked up a random sample.

“Like this one?” I asked.

“Nah,” said the husband.

“Too orange-y.”

I had my notebook

in one hand and pen in another. I hadn’t a clue what to write.

“This is — a lot,” said the husband.

“Let’s go look at cabinets,” I said.

And so we did. There were fewer cabinets than countertop samples, but still, there were plenty on offer. Flat-panel cabinets.

Shaker-style cabinets.

Inset cabinets. Beadboard cabinets. Louvered cabinets.

“Do you know what you like?” I asked the husband.

Again, he shrugged.

“Not really,” he said. “I just want something to hide the dishes.”

I put my notebook in my pocket.

We looked at flooring.

I recorded nothing in my notepad. We checked out paint colour. The notepad remained blank.

We’ll get back in the saddle and make some decisions eventually, I suppose. After all, that know-it-all magazine said it’s important to do all your homework early.

Whatever.

Living through renos is tough, I have heard. But planning for one is the worst.

A12 The Delta Optimist September 21, 2016

A TALE A 10-lane, $3.5-billion bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel has been a lightning rod for controversy ever since Premier Christy Clark made the announcement three years ago.

The City of Richmond and Metro Vancouver have both been vocal in their opposition, while the Corporation of Delta has expressed wholehearted support for the provincial initiative.

The province contends the bridge will alleviate what is currently the worst traffic bottleneck in B.C. and eliminate over one million hours of vehicle idling each year, while opponents say it will just move the congestion and doesn’t fit within the region’s transportation plans.

Construction is to begin next year and the span is expected to be completed by 2022. A review of the project by the province’s Environmental Assessment Office is now underway and included a pair of open houses last week, one on Tuesday in Richmond and the other the following day in Ladner. The Optimist went to both, at the same time in the afternoon and for the same length of time, to get a sense of what people on both sides of the river are thinking.

Here’s what some of those in attendance had to say:

RICHMOND

A

bout two hours into the Environmental Assessment Office’s open house at the Sandman Signature Hotel in Richmond last Tuesday, roughly 60 people had gathered in the Round Room, the majority of whom were milling around models in glass display cases.

The number in the room included a sizable contingent of EAO representatives who were quick to answer people’s questions on B.C.’s latest mega project.

As far as what Richmond residents had to say, it was a mixed bag with a few supporting the idea of doing something about the aging George Massey Tunnel, while others

didn’t believe the $3.5-billion expenditure is necessary.

A few of those at the open house were from Vancouver, all of whom expressed opposition, saying there are better alternatives to alleviating traffic than building a 10-lane bridge.

Saying she understands a solution is needed to alleviate the bottlenecks at the tunnel, Richmond’s Edith Turner said she’s more concerned about the removal of the tube and what plans might be in store afterward.

“The bridge is a good solution to the traffic problem, but it’s sort of a serendipitous result that tunnel is going to come out and they’re going to allow more traffic up the river. It’s the secondary effect that’s the problem for me, not the bridge,” she said.

“It’s not that they’re building the bridge, so they can say whatever they want about the bridge and the congestion and the traffic, but secondarily, why do they need to spend millions of dollars to take the tunnel out? Why take it out unless you’re looking at future commercialization of the river?

Coincidently, they’ll make the industrialization of the Fraser River available.”

Another Richmond resident, who didn’t want his name published, said he’s very much in favour but understands why there’s opposition in his city.

“At this stage, there hasn’t been very much disclosure. Ya, they build a nice model but there’s nothing else to back it up really, but as information is forthcoming I expect the mood will swing,” he said.

Richmond resident Eoin Finn, however, said building more roads into the heart of a city never solves traffic problems in the long-term. He noted the queue at the tunnel will simply be replaced by a lineup at the Oak Street Bridge.

“Three-and-a-half billion dollars is now down the tubes for no purpose whatsoever other than to serve the White Rock to Richmond traffic and vice versa… it’s not a good expenditure of public money. I would prefer to see mass transit,” he said.

“I know in Vancouver this is pretty unpopular. They know they will be faced with adding commuter lanes and the pressure to do that will be enormous when Vancouver has said that’s not their approach to solving traffic problems.”

Finn also said there’s a lot of uncertainty regarding how many people would use the crossing because it will be tolled.

It was the same concern of another resident at the open house, although that person was generally in favour of the project.

Trevor Langevin complained the provincial government is tailoring excuses for building a bridge rather than finding alternatives such as twinning the tunnel.

“They’ve taken the tunnel, which has been proven to be one of the safest structures in North America, and said it’s a danger.

It’s pure politics. I’m not disagreeing with the traffic issues, because there are, but I’m also not agreeing that the bridge is the better choice,” he said.

As far as whether his questions were being answered, Langevin said, “They’re tailoring the answers to suit their point of view.”

Another local resident said he was ambivalent and wanted more information, but also wonders if there’s an alternative.

A protest by the grassroots group Fraser Voices was planned for later in the afternoon.

Project director Geoff Freer, who said most Richmond residents he talked to, especially those who commute through or near the tunnel, told him, “Thank goodness, when are you going get on with it?”

of TWO CITIES

A $3.5-billion bridge to connect Delta and Richmond is viewed differently depending on which side of the Fraser River you live DELTA

H

eld at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner, the Environmental Assessment Office’s second open house last week for the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project saw a slightly larger crowd than the previous day in Richmond.

All the Delta residents who were asked by the Optimist for their opinions on the project conveyed some level of endorsement, although some had questions and concerns regarding how the new road network would work.

The EAO’s Mike Shepard said there was a lot of support expressed and a lot of time was spent studying the models.

“They’re really asking questions about how the project will impact their route to work or the route driving their kids to school. Of course, a lot of people are concerned about tolling, as we heard last night in Richmond,” he said.

Tsawwassen resident Bill Hamilton said the project is necessary, adding the planning has been done well. As far as opposition from the other cities, he said, “I would ask them to realign their thinking to the problems. I can see with Vancouver heading towards electric vehicles, that is going to be their answer. But we’re suburbanites, so our mobility pretty much requires cars and trucks.”

Another local resident, Joe Scholte, also said he was in favour of the bridge, noting he has been going through the four-lane tunnel for over 40 years.

Ladner’s Judy Rithaler said she’s in favour of something being

done about the tunnel, which opened in 1959, but has some concerns about navigating the new road system.

“I don’t like the merging from Ladner, but that’s my age. It can be scary. If I’m looking at this right, from Ladner you merge twice and if you to go to Steveston Highway, you’re going to have to go over three or four lanes across,” said Rithaler. “It’s a lot more complicated as far as thinking where you’re coming from and where you’re going. I’m looking at it thinking I don’t want to drive it.”

Rithaler said she’d like to see River Road extended for easier access from her neighbourhood.

She also noted the potential toll by 2022 when the bridge opens could be a bit much for seniors.

Resident David Gingras had similar concerns.

“I’m in favour of it. The issue for me, among other issues, is whether Delta will choose to reconnect River Road. It’s a Delta cost. To me, that could have significant implications for the residents in that area. I live on River Road, so connecting it would be a faster way to get onto the bridge,” he said.

“The sense I have is it relieves congestion. Whether it’s worth $3.5 billion, I don’t know. I know we have lots of places to spend our tax dollars: rapid transit down Broadway, something in Surrey. In Delta, we can say it’s our turn, whether it’s a bridge or new tunnel. Just relieve some traffic.”

Rob Van Weelden, who lives in Richmond but has a business in Tilbury, said he’s in favour of the

project but has concerns regarding construction disruptions.

“We have to go through it (tunnel) every day. In the big picture, I’m in favour, but in the short term, I’m very concerned about the traffic implications,” he said.

“Steveston is going to be a mess, (Highway) 99 is going to be a mess. It seems to me it’s going to get a lot worse. It’s already impossible to get around. We have a lot of people who commute into Richmond four, five, six times a day to suppliers. For us, the access in and out of Richmond for five, six years is going to be a real problem but nobody will tell

you how much worse it’s going to be before it gets better. They just say, ‘Until we award the contracts, there is no plan how they’re going to work around the traffic.’”

Another resident noted the colour illustration of the new bridge failed to include the relocated hydro lines that are to run adjacent to the structure.

Project director Geoff Freer said residents on the south side of the Fraser are showing overwhelmingly support and the models are giving them a better sense of the project and what questions to ask.

Rotary is sending medical equipment to Philippines

On Mindoro Island, one of the 2,000 inhabited islands among the 7,000 that comprise the Philippines, the mother of Ladner Rotarian Alfredo Goco injured herself badly, but had to travel many painful, agonizing hours to reach medical help.

Since then Goco has been working with various health authorities to bring medical assistance closer to the people of that island.

Demonstrating the global as well as local reach and impact of Rotary, a 40-foot shipping container fully packed with used medical equipment is on its way to the Philippines thanks to 25 members of not only the Rotary Club of Ladner, Goco’s home club, but several other Rotary clubs in the Lower Mainland and to the ongoing work of Vancouverbased Rotary World Help Network, a multi-club and multi-district Rotary program.

PHOTO BY PATRICIA SIBLEY

Ladner Rotarians are among 25 who loaded a shipping container with medical equipment and supplies bound for the Philippines.

The Rotary Club of San Jose, in the Philippines, is receiving the container loaded with hospital beds, mattresses, IV poles, wheelchairs and more, and will distribute the equipment to a clinic on or near the remote island.

The medical equipment and supplies, worth $200,000 to $300,000 in terms of replacement cost, will be of tremendous value to people in that remote island, according to Rotary Club of Ladner

president Walt Hayward.

“We are grateful to our hospitals and health system which provided the equipment to make this project, along with many Rotarians in the chain over many months,” said Hayward.

Rotary Club of Ladner is one of 35,000 Rotary clubs around the world run by 1.2 million members.

Become a weekend warrior

Home improvement projects range from major construction overhauls like bathroom remodeling jobs to smaller renovations that may entail something as minor as painting the walls. Smaller projects can often be conquered in a typical weekend but still provide a strong sense of accomplishment.

The following are five projects tailor-made for weekend warriors: 1. Improve storage in the entryway. Home entryways are the first places many people drop mail, shed their shoes and toss their keys upon arriving home. As a result, entryways can quickly be overrun with clutter. Storage solutions can include putting in a desk or hutch with baskets underneath to store umbrellas and backpacks.

Or hang a coat rack and create a shoe rack to store shoes until the time comes to leave the house once again.

2. Shed new light. Add some design appeal to your home by replacing an old lighting fixture with something more modern.

At Home

Cozy up your space to welcome fall & winter

Cool weather often drives people to spend more hours indoors than they do during the warmer months. Autumn is a time to winterize gardens, put away lawn furniture and prepare for the holiday season. Autumn also provides the perfect opportunity to begin home interior projects.

Many people decide to redecorate their homes to reflect each season. When temperatures change, it’s time to transition from the light colours and breezy fabrics symbolic of summer to thicker, darker materials that evoke coziness.

With some inspiration and a little know-how, any homeowner or apartment dweller can cozy up a space in time for fall and winter.

• Invest in area rugs.

While wood floors can look beautiful and work well with many different design styles, wood can feel chilly underfoot. Thick

area rugs add warmth to a room and can help it look more lived-in. Area rugs also help a room appear more cohesive, coordinating with other colours in a space and providing a visual border.

• Practice layering in rooms. An affordable and relatively easy way to make a room seem more cozy is to layer fabrics and other accents. Layers can include throws and blankets. Remove place mats from the dining room table and use them on accent tables or an ottoman in the living room. Table runners also can add a splash of colour to the top of bedroom dressers.

• Play with texture.

Look for fabrics that boast texture and can add a tactile feel to spaces. When used on throw pillows or small accents, faux fur can create that cozy cabin feel. Draperies made from nubby fabrics or those with grooves and ridges can add dimension to

a room as well. Even a lampshade made of an unusual fabric, such as a waffle-patterned material, can add a little depth and warmth to a space.

• Re-evaluate your lighting. Lighting a space is more than just flipping on a switch. Finding the right balance of lighting fixtures can instantly transform the feel of a room. Create more warmth and a cozy feel by switching out bulbs from cooler shades to warmer ones — those that give off yellow and pink hues rather than cool blues.

• Install a bookshelf and start a book collection. Piles and stacked books can add warmth to any space. Books evoke the hallowed halls of schools and quiet nooks in the library. Fill shelves with books interspersed with additional design accents, and you will instantly make a room feel more inviting.

• Choose dark paint.

Little touches can make your home more inviting when cooler weather arrives.

Do not feel nervous about incorporating deeper shades in rooms. Dark colours give rooms a more enclosed feel than lighter colours, and that can create a warm and cozy feeling. This works particu-

larly well in larger spaces that feel vast and empty. If you’re scared to paint all of your walls, try a darker shade below a chair rail or just paint one accent wall.

Refresh your home office

Back to school means back to work for adults and kids alike. What better time to update your home office or study area to boost not only your decor, but your family’s productivity as well?

“Fall is a time of new beginnings, and this season’s pick-me-up shades are perfect for infusing new life into work areas — from vibrant reds and blues, to greyish greens, sun-kissed yellows and classic black-and-white combinations,” says Geneviève Paiement, brand manager for Sico paint.

“When selecting hues for home offices or study areas, it’s important to also take into account the user’s personality and the type of work that will be done in the space before committing to a colour scheme,” Paiement says, explaining that colour choices may affect both a person’s mood and work performance.

For example, if you’re seeking stimulation, motivation or creativity, choose warm and cheerful hues such as reds and yellows.

If you’re easily distracted, she recommends surrounding yourself with soft, muted colours that promote concentration, such as grey-blue, greygreen, pale purple or beachy taupe.

“For those in doubt, stick with green, the most popular and safest choice when it comes to painting a home office,” she says.

Paiement offers the following advice to refresh your work space with this season’s palette:

Mix it up: A home office or study area is a perfect place to have fun with colour. Try using two or three paint colours to add interest. For smaller areas, stick with different shades of the same hue to infuse character while visually enlarging the space. Use painter’s tape to create patterns such as chevrons, stripes or squares on the wall to tie multiple colours together.

Go beyond walls: Reserve vibrant colours for furniture and accessories to create a distinctive look for your work area. The edge of a bulletin board, a filing cabinet, desks or chairs can come to life with a fresh coat of paint.

Maximize space: If your home office space is at a premium, use colour tricks to visually open up the area. Consider painting walls and trim the same colour. Painting built-ins the same hue as the rest of the room will make the shelves appear as if they are floating. Another way to make the room look bigger is by painting the bottom half of the wall in a darker shade than the top half.

Match your style: Choose paint colours according to the overall theme of your home office, including furniture. If your desk and accessories are modern, stick with grey tones as well as whites and blacks, and accent the room with bursts of colour.

If you prefer an antique or rustic feel, go with the season’s popular golden yellows, reds or brown sand tones to preserve their charm.

Let your dreams come true!

Do not attempt to remove all fallen leaves in a single day. Schedule a few cleaning days during the season to make lighter work of the job than if you tried to do it all at once. Keep in mind that leaves will continue to fall throughout the season and you may need to spend a few days removing leaves from your yard.

•

leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small enough that they won’t suffocate the lawn.

The small pieces will decompose in the lawn, reintroducing nutrients as a result.

• Use an ergonomic leaf rake. Ergonomic rakes can prevent back and arm pain, much in the way that ergonomic shovels do when shoveling snow.

• Invest in a quality leaf blower. Using a rake is good exercise, but homeowners with large properties might want to use a leaf blower. These machines can dislodge leaves from bushes and hard-to-reach crevices, and they work faster than rakes.

• Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal. Special leaf scoopers enable you to grab more leaves if they need to be picked up and transported.

• Work with the wind.

Rake in the direction the wind is blowing and downhill if your property slopes. This way it will be easier on you, and you won’t be working against Mother Nature.

• Spread out the job.

Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming chrysanthemums are symbols of autumn, but nothing signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the temperatures dip.

Many people feel nothing is more beautiful than the yellow, red, purple and orange leaves that coat neighbourhoods each fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles of them from their lawns. Those with large oak and maple trees understand the seemingly endless work of leaf removal.

As the days begin to grow shorter and colder, these changes trigger a hormone release in trees, prompting them to drop their leaves.

Left untouched, fallen leaves can contribute to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold growth and moisture issues. Leaves also can cause staining on driveways and walkways.

Prompt removal can help prevent any problems. To make faster and easier work of leaf removal, keep these tips in mind: • Mow over thin leaf coverage. If only a few

It’s a good idea to add these tasks to fall to-do list

Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colours to start planning their next projects. The following are a few items homeowners can add to their fall home improvement to-do lists: Roof inspection Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and winter. As a

result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone.

But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage.

Leaky roofs can be easily identified by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. Once you see a

stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fix it before winter rains turn the problem into something much larger.

Gutter cleaning While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter cleaning until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause

Homes surrounded by trees might need more than one round of gutter cleaning this fall.

serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home.

In addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters.

Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a can below. Standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury.

Window and doorway inspection Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they

can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter.

Choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. If you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible.

Patio cleanup Patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. Once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing.

While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed.

the last few months. Should I take my listing off and relist in the spring?

A: Adults will often need someone to make decisions on their behalf towards the

end of their life.Two documents commonly used to authorize someone to make legal, financial, and medical decisions on an adult’s behalf are a Power of Attorney and Representation Agreement.If an adult in your life hasn’t prepared these documents but suddenly needs someone to assist them with their decision-making, there is a process to fill that vacuum by applying to court to take control of the adult’s affairs. However, Graham Buchanan the process can be onerous.

First, all of the adult’s next of kin need to be notified of the situation.They may object to your application or otherwise take issue with it,causing problems and delay.Second, two doctors must be involved and they must attest to fact that the adult needs someone to assist them with their decision-making.The adult might resist having their mental capacity evaluated, and doctors may charge a fee for the assessment. Third, court can be unpredictable.A judge might find that you are not the best person to make decisions for your loved one, or they might put restrictions on your decision-making authority in an attempt to protect the adult.

Preparing a Power of Attorney and Representation Agreement will prevent these issues and save your family time,expense,and stress.Most importantly,it helps to ensure that in the event of your possible incapacity, the person making decisions on your behalf is the person that you wish to make those decisions.

QUESTION

I have been toying with the idea of taking a cruise but I have no idea where to start. What do you suggest?

How do hearing aids work? Are there operations or medications I can take to treat my hearing loss rather than get hearing aids?

ANSWER:

First and fore most I urge you to find a great travel agent, particularly one specializing in cruise vacations. Look for a reputable agency, one with a well-known name behind it, as with this name will come great knowledge and long-term agents who know their products and destinations.

An experienced agent will most likely have been on a few cruises and will gladly share their experiences with you.

ANSWER At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver (speaker) converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable amplification.

Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

There are alterative forms of treatment for hearing loss (instead of hearing aids), although only 5% of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically.

It all depends on the type of hearing loss you have experienced. There are three types:

Sandy Drover

1. Sensorineural: The most common type, it occurs when the inner ear nerves (and hair cells) are damaged and do not properly transmit auditory signals to the brain. Can be treated with hearing aids.

2. Conductive: Is typically the result of obstructions in the ear. Can usually be treated medically or surgically.

Most successful agencies will host information evenings where a cruise-line representative comes in and speaks about their product.

At Expedia CruiseShipCenters we are very fortunate to have such great support in our cruise-line partners. They are always in training mode, keeping us up to date on product knowledge and industry goings-on.

In fact, on Sept 24th at the Delta Town and Country we are hosting our annual World Explorer Event. This is a half day of seminars with six cruise-lines being represented. Whether you are young honeymooners, retired baby boomers or multi-generational families, whether you are looking for the megaships sailing in the Caribbean or a 150 passenger river cruise sailing down the Rhine, we will have something for you.

Hi Randy, After having a sunny summer, when we reach September, it’s like someone turned off a switch. It’s cold at night and when we wake up in the morning.This tells you it’s time to make sure your furnace is ready to go.

Today’s high efficient furnaces have many electronic parts. If you haven’t already, it would be a good idea to first replace your filter, and then switch on your furnace.The best time of year to service your heating equipment is in September.

Typically companies offer furnace service specials at this time (present company included,).

Our service technicians have full check-lists to make sure a proper inspection and servicing is done. For safety, you want to make sure that whoever does you servicing is a licensed gas-fitter. If you have a hot water boiler it’s not as simple as switching it on and seeing if it works.These systems are more complicated.They have multiple moving parts and heating zones. Hot water boilers require the service expertise of a heating professional. If left unmaintained, you will likely cause premature damage to components that could have lasted many more years if properly serviced.

You definitely described how the market moved in August except you missed that the end of August almost reached the high from the beginning of the month.

Gold in Canadian dollars was $1770.00 and silver was $27.00 Canadian dollars at the beginning of August.

Sometimes August can be the most volitile month of the year with this year being no exception.

What I think happened is that with Gold and Silver having 20 and 30 percent increases respectively over the last three months bullion traders went on vacation in August and balanced their portfolios to take the profits.

As they came back this week we have had nice increases again with Gold and Silver being close to the earlier highs.

I think that this fall we are going to see substancial increases for the metals.

Two reasons for this. First is with the US election in November people are going to remember what happened with the Brexit vote.

Gold took a $100 per ounce jump the next day. I can see large jumps before and after the US election occurs.

Secondly is that most of all the experts are saying that we are going to see increases.

As much as some people claim that you cannot predict a market , I find that more often than not the experts get it right.

Weather you are buying or selling this fall should be interesting.

Are we better off Renovating or Re-Locating? That’s the Big Money question!

ANSWER:

ANSWER: Your lender wants to ensure that your purchase price is in line with the property’s fair market value.

Lenders want to see that you are purchasing a quality property and that the purchase price is in line with market values.

For obvious reasons your realtor will make a good case to simply re-locate (ah, but not so simple!) Conversely, a good Renovator can take that existing house and make it your Dream Home! In my opinion there are 3 main factors to consider: 1. Do we enjoy living in our present location, as it is a lot of work and expense to re-locate.

2. Can we work with this existing house and bring our ideas to life here.

3. How long do we foresee ourselves in this location.

All very important considerations indeed! First is going to be personal for each family and I just take into consideration the upheaval involved to re-locate.

Second is where consultation with a professional Renovator can help you in the re-configuration or addition to your existing layout.

Third and most important with regards to your investment in any renovation is your commitment to location.

If you have a short 1-3 year plan in mind then cosmetics and immediate repairs only or you risk losing most of your investment. If you foresee a 5-10 year stay then I feel you are safe in the 50K to 150K investment into your property upgrades as you are now renovating to increase the value in your home plus adding livability and quality to your lifestyle!

Beyond that time frame it’s only about wants vs. needs and the total affordability of your Dream Project! MRP Renovations is here to solve all your renovating Want’s and Need’s!

Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea?

An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases.

The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep.

By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide.

Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

We are “Red Seal” Certified Journeymen. Don’t risk your greatest asset to those who aren’t.

QUESTION:

Most people think that drinking bottled water is a wiser, healthier choice. However, since 2000 in Canada, there have been numerous recalls on bottled water products due to bacterial or chemical contaminants.

The bottled water companies do not have to disclose the source of their water. You may be surprised to learn that Dasani (Coke) and Aquafina (Pepsi), two of the most popular bottled waters are actually tap and “purified” (filtered) tap water.

The plastic bottle itself is a very serious health concern as it may contain BPA (Bisphenol A), a toxic substance known to cause cancer which can leech into the water.

And, environmentally, plastic bottles are an absolute nightmare with only 13% of all water bottles sold being recycled.

For true convenience, purchase a refillable BPA Free bottle and fill it with great tasting, alkalized, ionized and antioxidant rich Kangen water.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q: How long should full plate dentures last?

A: This is a multifactorial answer. Foremost it depends

on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces.

For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios.

I create dentures to last at least seven to ten years using high quality products; dependent on the above conditions.

The Delta Marine Rescue Society hosted Delta’s Tour de Duck Saturday by sending thousands of rubber ducks along a Fraser River course.

Nugent said about 80 to 90 spectators braved the rainy conditions at Deas Island Regional Park.

The first place duck completed the 300-foot course with a time of a little over three minutes, winning its corresponding ticket holder the $1,000 first prize. Members of the public bought ducks for $5 each.

Nugent called the event very successful and said it’s quite probable the society could hold another Tour de Duck.

Station 8 is an all-volunteer group dedicated to providing search and rescue services to 600 square kilometres of ocean around Delta.

Conference play next for Devils South Delta hosts Belmont Saturday after rallying to stay perfect in pre-season MARK BOOTH

m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

If their final pre-season game is any indication, it’s going to be one wild ride when the South Delta Sun Devils launch their conference schedule, starting this weekend.

The Sun Devils improved to 2-0 in the B.C. High School Football season by rallying for a 62-33 win over the WJ Mouat Hawks last Saturday in Tsawwassen. South Delta actually trailed 33-26 in the early stages of the fourth quarter before exploding for 36 unanswered points.

The performance showcased their big play ability and vulnerability too.

Head coach Ray Moon knows his team has to be much sharper starting Saturday when Victoria’s Belmont Bulldogs are in town for a 1:30 p.m. kick-off. It’s the start of six straight games in what is expected to be very competitive Western AAA Conference.

Mouat quarterback Shawn Lal lit up the Sun Devils secondary for 320 yards and three touchdowns.

No doubt, future opponents took note.

“As a guy also responsible for the defensive side, I was very disappointed,” said Moon. “We managed a safety and a pick six but they also put four (touchdowns) up against us in questionable ways. There were a lot of breakdowns and missed tackles.

“We have a lot of young guys on this team that we have confidence in, but I think they got a little overwhelmed. They are learning more and more each game. Practice is one thing. Game experience is another.”

The turning point Saturday was the remarkable escapability of Michael Calvert.

The Grade 11 quarterback, listed at 6-foot-2 and 195-pounds, looked certain to be thrown for a huge loss when he shook off two defensive lineman and hooked up with Douglas Jameson for a 60-plus yard gain. Calvert found the end zone on the ensuing play and the Sun

A pair of WJ Mouat Hawks attempt to bring down South Sun Delta Sun Devils Douglas Jameson during Saturday’s pre-season game in Tsawwassen. The hosts won 62-33.

Devils would never look back.

He closed out the fourth quarter with touchdown passes to Stef Goulas, Billy Matwichyna and Andrew Craft, while Cooper Jones returned an interception for another major.

Calvert’s athleticism and strength was initially displayed back in the second quarter when he somehow avoided a quarterback sack and rambled up the right sidelines 43-yards to pay dirt.

It’s not hard to see why he was

a nightmare for opponents the last three years in the Vancouver Mainland Football League, leading the South Delta Rams to provincial titles.

“Michael has great athleticism and wheels. He can move,” marvelled Moon. “He just gives us another aspect when he is on the field.”

The Sun Devils may be leaning on Calvert’s big play ability for some time. Grade 12 standout Grant McDonald was lost early in

the first quarter to an ankle injury.

X-rays were negative but the sprain is expected to sideline him for 2-3 weeks.

Matwichyna also had a 43-yard touchdown reception, while Jameson added another major on a 17-yard run.

Mouat’s Nelson Lokombo had three touchdown catches. He is the younger brother of B.C. Lion linebacker Bo Lokombo who was a two-year starter for the Oregon Ducks before turning pro.

Olivia Sheppard has wasted little time cracking the starting 11 in her freshman season at Princeton University.

The 18-year-old defender from Tsawwassen made her third straight start Sunday in the Tigers’ 2-1 win over Duquesne University in Pittsburgh to improve to (7-1-0) overall.

Sheppard made her debut in the starting line-up a week earlier in a win against Monmouth. Up to that point she had come off the bench in the team’s previous four games. She has played all 90 minutes in three straight matches.

Sheppard is not the only South Delta

Secondary graduate playing for the Tigers at the renowned Ivy League school in New Jersey. Midfielder Alessia Azermadhi is in her junior season and earned her first assist of the campaign on the game winner Sunday.

The Tigers turn their attention to Ivy League games, starting Saturday at Yale.
