Relocation not as costly

Moving rabbits from civic precinct to Ladner Harbour Park costs less than $25,000 BY

Abandoned rabbits have a new home at Ladner Harbour Park.

The cost of relocating feral rabbits from the municipal precinct to Ladner Harbour Park was less than anticipated, Delta council was told Monday.

Staff provided councillors with an update on Delta’s rabbit management program, initiated earlier this year to sterilize and remove hundreds of problem rabbits. It was a program budgeted at $60,000 but, thanks to volunteers, worked out to less than $25,000.

A staff report notes during the

last three to four years, the population of rabbits in the civic precinct increased significantly to an estimated 400 to 500. As a result of abandonment and uncontrolled breeding, the bunnies were causing significant property damage to buildings and landscaping.

Delta had spent approximately $350,000 to repair damage to buildings and grounds in the civic precinct, while in 2011 Delta Hospice spent approximately $70,000 to repair damage.

A veterinarian estimated that without intervention, the population would have continued to

grow to more than 1,000 rabbits within a year.

Coun. Robert Campbell said if something wasn’t done, the total damage would have kept climbing to perhaps $1 million or more.

“This is not just Delta’s problem, it’s happening elsewhere,” Campbell said. “You see rabbits being dumped now at the Richmond Auto Mall and they have to deal with that.”

The municipality began looking for “humane” and “cost effective” solutions last fall, asking See RABBITS page 3

Delta Coun. Sylvia Bishop announced this week she is throwing her hat in the ring for the nomination to run as the NDP candidate in Delta North.

“I have always thought about wanting to serve as an MLA,” the first-term councillor said Wednesday morning.

Delta North NDP MLA Guy Gentner announced his retirement last week.

Gentner, also a former Delta councillor, has served two terms as MLA for the riding.

Bishop said with the proSylvia Bishop vincial election a little over six months away she heard that Gentner was considering his next move, so once he made the announcement last week she started making, and getting, phone calls about possibly running for the nomination.

The Tsawwassen resident said she thought about it through the weekend before making a final decision earlier this week.

Bishop is a long-time member of the provincial NDP and unsuccessfully ran for the party in the 1980s.

“Good social policy has always been important to me,” she said.

Bishop said her experiences during her year on council have added to her skills that she would bring to the job of MLA. “There are some problems that can only be solved on a provincial level,” she said.

If she were elected MLA, it would trigger a civic by-election.

Farmers have seen much change

Old-timers get together to reminisce as well as reflect on challenges the industry faces in these parts BY

Farming in Delta has also faced a myriad of other challenges over the decades, including highway construction as well as port and other development pressures.

The Agricultural Land Reserve covers much of Delta’s current farm base, however, pressures continue, including farmland being eyed by industrial interests looking to service future port growth.

“I shudder to think what’s in the future,” says Gordon Huff, 90.

A Ladner resident who quit farming in 1962, Huff says he meets regularly with

current and retired farmers for a social gathering at the Boundary Bay Airport’s coffee shop.

“The ex-farmers and a lot of the others who are there, they all just shake their heads, and I guess I do too. It’s happening, a lot of it has already happened and it’s still going to happen.”

Ex-farmer Gary Bowing agreed, saying there’s a huge demand for land.

Coupled with highway development, it spells bad news for Delta’s agricultural land, Bowing says.

Stan Burr, who still owns an 82-acre farm that grows potatoes and other

vegetables, although he now rents his portion to other family members, says he doesn’t think much of the new South Fraser Perimeter Road.

As far as his view of the future of the family farm in Delta, Burr says, “I can’t say there’s too big a future, the way farming is changing so much now.”

Burr says he didn’t think much of the ALR when it was introduced in the early 1970s, but now there’s no doubting it’s needed.

He adds MLA Vicki Huntington has done a good job advocating for farmland preservation.

Ken Davie, whose two sons are still running their family dairy farm, says farmers “are getting squeezed more and more.”

Longtime Westham Island farmer Gord Ellis, 72, whose family started farming in the area in 1916, says his farm still going strong, growing such crops as potatoes and pumpkins. His daughter Sharon runs the roadside stand at Westham Island Herb Farm.

Ellis, who’s on the DFI’s diking and drainage committee, says Westham Island needs a major dike upgrade, so a long-term plan should be formulated for such an undertaking.

Some of the retired farmers on hand included Lloyd Tamboline, whose family began farming in the early 1900s and still farms on Westham Island.

Tamboline, who brought a collection of old photographs to display, says he’s seen many changes in the farming scene.

Ian Paton, a farmer who now serves on Delta council, says his dad and the Roddicks started a similar get together a number of years ago, and he’s glad it’s been revived. He says a lot of the old-timers have passed on, but he’s glad so many are still around.

Paton wonders how many farmers from younger generations will be around for such gatherings in a few years.

Several at the event noted they missed the late Delta Optimist writer Edgar Dunning, who provided interesting stories at a their luncheon a couple of years ago.

trol rabbit populations is to humanely capture and euthanize the animals.

Delta CAO George Harvie, noting the municipality didn’t get a penny of support from the province, said that was highly unacceptable.

Another alterative noted by the ministry was to capture and export rabbits to sanctuaries in the United

States, something Delta officials weren’t keen on either.

Harvie said the move to Ladner Harbour Park has gone well and there have been no problems reported there.

The staff report stated that because the park is surrounded on three sides by water, rabbit migration would be limited.

“It is likely that many of the rabbits have fallen prey to natural predation and, since the rabbits are sterilized, the remaining population is expected to decline rapidly,” the report stated.

Delta presented a motion at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention requesting the province implement a province-wide ban on the sale of steril-

ized rabbits, which was endorsed.

Council was told this week the civic precinct appears to be largely free of rabbits. In addition to education, to further discourage people from dropping off their unwanted pets, council this week also agreed that staff bring forward a bylaw making the abandonment of rabbits a ticketable offence.

It was a chance for the old-timers to get together, reminisce and talk about the changing face of farming in Delta.

Organized by the Delta Farmers’ Institute, current as well as farmers of an older vintage gathered for a third annual luncheon at East Delta Hall last Thursday afternoon. It was a chance for the almost 100 or so to swap stories and catch up with friends, many of whom are children or even later descendants of those in the historic photos that were on display.

“I think this event is wonderful, and they’re not all farmers. The farming community is more than farmers,” says Mike Guichon, a third generation farmer.

Retired veterinarian Dr. Gordon Davis, who began his practice in 1946, says Delta’s farming scene has undergone big changes. For example, there were around 100 farms at one point that had dairy cows, but now that number has dwindled to around eight, he says.

Davis says the expropriation of thousands of acres by the provincial government back in the late 1960s was the biggest signal things would change.

Agriculture came to the delta in 1868 when two brothers, Thomas and William Ladner, began to cultivate land at what is now part of Ladner town centre.

The Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust, which has been working for years

with the DFI on habitat programs, points out that that by the late 1980s, twothirds of the farmland in Delta was farmed under lease, less than 10 per cent of the land was under forage production and local processing facilities were on the decline, as was soil productivity.

Farmers have been adapting their operations at every point in history to remain viable. The general composition of farming operations continues to change as more land is being converted to “newer” crop types such as greenhouse-grown produce, cranberries and blueberries.

Delta and provincial gov’t announce improvements to Hwy. 99 interchanges BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Delta and the province have partnered to try and keep traffic moving in and out of Ladner.

The province announced Wednesday morning a number of improvements to the Highway 99 corridor.

“We’re partnering with the Corporation of Delta to make a difference to safety and mobility along the Highway 99 corridor through the community,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Mary Polak.

“This work will reduce congestion, improve safety for motorists merging onto the highway and result in better access to areas of Delta south of Highway 99.”

A new off-ramp is planned at 80th Street to give drivers travelling south on Highway 99 another option for accessing Ladner Trunk Road.

At the Matthews Interchange, where Ladner Trunk Road crosses

Highway 99, the acceleration lane for motorists merging onto northbound Highway 99 is slated for some improvements.

As well, the intersections of Ladner Trunk Road and Hornby Drive and Trunk Road and 96th Street will be widened to four lanes to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

The engineering and design work is already underway. Construction is expected to begin early next year and should be complete by spring 2014.

The total cost of the improvements is $7 million and will be split 50/50 between the two levels of government.

Mayor Lois Jackson said Delta’s portion will come from a development fund and no local taxpayer money will go into the project.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the province to undertake these important enhancements to the local highway network,” said Jackson.

Gentner not running again

Delta North MLA won’t seek a third term in next May’s provincial election BY

If you see Guy Gentner, buy the man a beer.

After serving North Delta as its MLA since 2005 — and as a Delta municipal councillor for six years prior to that — Gentner’s earned a jug or two.

The veteran New Democrat MLA has decided to retire from politics after serving his term and won’t be running in next May’s provincial election.

“I do look forward to drinking pilsner in Prague,” he declared. “Start my adventures there.

“I can’t see myself being a 60-something politician, as a career. I still see myself being an activist somehow,” said Gentner, 57.

He won’t venture the typical “never say never” comment you hear from most “retiring” politicians about seeking some other political office.

“I’m kind of the opinion I’m done,” Gentner said.

“There’s still enough room in my life to try something different. I’ve been consumed by politics. I think

Donate your used glasses for recycling to the

Guy Gentner says it’s time for others to take on the task of running this province. one of the difficulties I’m having is losing the fire in my belly. And when you get there, you know it’s time to move.

“I think the turnstiles have got to turn,” he explained. “I think us baby boomers have got to pass on the reins, so to speak.

Generally speaking, in the ‘60s we talked the talk, but we really don’t walk the walk. It’s time to understand the global context; we’ve really in many ways

screwed up this planet and it’s now time for those who are going to inherit the mess to start taking responsibility.”

If the NDP wins the next election it’s no long shot to say Gentner would likely be in cabinet. Surprisingly, it’s the likelihood of an NDP win that’s helped him make his decision to bow out.

“That’s one of the reasons why it’s time to move on, too. I think we’re going to be in good stead in North

Delta. I think for us the bar will be high. For the NDP, the honeymoon will probably be over the day after the election.

“If there’s a time for succession planning, I think it’s now. I’m pretty sure we can win the next election in North Delta.”

Gentner moved from Richmond to North Delta in 1982.

He and his wife Shirley have two children and three grandchildren.

Invasive plant battle continues

Ladner Rotarians pulling Spartina anglica in bid to save sensitive foreshore ecosystems BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

A group of local volunteers is waging a battle to remove an invasive plant species that poses a major threat to Delta’s environmentally sensitive foreshore.

Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Ladner continue to comb mudflats and the foreshore to eradicate a noxious weed called Spartina. Most of the work to pull over 4,500 of the plants was done by hand, not an easy task since Spartina forms thick mats with deep reproductive roots.

After receiving some supplies from Delta, volunteers recently got out to dig up more of the plants.

“Unfortunately, the bloom in Spartina this year was unparalleled from past years. We went from a roughly 2,000 plants count to 9,600 in one year,” said Rotary Club of Ladner president Don Burkett, a participant in the B.C. Spartina Working Group.

Spartina is a salt-tolerant cordgrass invasive to the

Pacific Northwest. If left unchecked, the fast-growing plant, which has the ability to clone, can impact B.C.’s coast in a variety of ways.

It can significantly decrease habitat for shorebirds, waterfowl, fish and shellfish, as well as disrupt the ecology, structure and function of intertidal habitats.

Left uncontrolled, the invasive grasses will likely spread in distribution and density across tens of thousands of hectares, according to the B.C. Ministry of Environment.

There are several types of Spartina, and one type, Spartina anglica, commonly known as English cordgrass, was discovered during an intertidal marsh survey of Roberts Bank in 2003.

Following that discovery, several agencies, including Ducks Unlimited and Port Metro Vancouver, got together to form a committee to monitor and remove the plants.

Neither herbicides nor pesticides have been used in this province yet to fight the plant. Burkett said most of the removal the work so

Ladner Rotarians Linda Ottho and Don Burkett are shown pulling Spartina anglica from Boundary Bay. far has been done by hand, although an excavator has been used on occasion.

“The vast majority of the outbreak (Spatina anglica) is in Delta, and the Roberts Bank side by the ferry slip is heavily infested and Boundary Bay all around to

Mud Bay is heavily infested,” Burkett said.

The plant can be introduced by several means, including currents, but trying to figure out how it arrived isn’t as important now as getting a handle on the situation before it

spreads, Burkett said.

“It’s a noxious plant, which means it’s one of the highest threats of an invasive species. It’s been playing out its game in most of the world where it’s arrived and it basically crept up here from California. The devastation in California is overwhelming.”

The larger plants can be extremely difficult to remove by hand, prompting the need for heavy equipment.

In a presentation to Delta council Monday, Dan Buffet, a biologist and project manager with Ducks Unlimited, noted they had made significant progress by 2005 and 2006, but in the last couple of years the plant has made a vigorous comeback due to limited funding preventing the working group from hiring excavators.

Following the model used in Washington state, where removal of the plants was approached through the use of herbicides, as well as manual removal, Buffet said the working group is now recommending the use of a herbicide.

Errors offer private info

The private information of students was made accessible online in what Delta school district officials are describing as an “Internet error in combination with a programming error.”

The error, which took place on Oct. 23, allowed a parent using the district’s Parent Connect system to access the private information of students stored in the system. Parent Connect is an online service that allows parents to check their child’s grades.

According to a release, the error came about when the Parent Connect site “lost” the parent’s log-in information, granting full access to the system. The error was immediately reported to the district by the parent and fixed two hours later.

The information available included birthdates, birth certificate numbers, contact information, CareCard numbers and medical alerts, among other data. According to the district, the parent confirmed she did not review, copy or redistribute the information.

Delta police get help from Crime Stoppers on robbery at Subway in Tsawwassen Delta police are looking for help identifying two suspects in a recent robbery.

On Oct. 15 at about 6:30 p.m., two males entered the Subway restaurant in the 1300-block of 56th Street in Tsawwassen. One of the suspects produced a can of pepper spray while the other demanded money.

No one was injured but the two men made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The suspects are described as two South Asian males, both about six feet tall. Both were wearing dark jackets zipped up to cover the bottom half of their faces.

One of the men has a distinct cut or scar on the back of his head.

Investigators believe the

same two suspects then drove to Richmond where they committed a similar robbery at the Fantasy Factory entertainment store in the 8100-block of Cook Road. The two robberies occurred about 30 to 40 minutes apart.

The crimes are being highlighted as Crime Stoppers’ Unsolved Crime of the Week.

Anyone with information about either incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers one of four ways: by phone at 1-800-2228477; online at www. solvecrime.ca; by texting BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637); or on Facebook at www. facebook.com/metrovancouvercrimestoppers.

You may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 upon arrest and charge.

CHRISTINA

Christina was hanging around a families home for a few weeks, one day they went into their shed and found her in there with her babies. Miss Christina was brought in to the shelter with 5 female 6 week old kittens (which we are happy to say are all spoken for) Christina is a very sweet cat that enjoys looking out the window and gazing at the birds. We would love to find her a primarily indoor home (so she doesn't wander out to far and get lost) where she can be safe, happy and loved!

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW Did a part of you wonder whether the mega malls proposed by the Tsawwassen First Nation would ever become a reality?

The malls are so large, and so unlike anything else in South Delta’s commercial sectors, that the idea of building almost two million square feet of retail space in these parts seemed more than a little surreal. Throw in the fact not much has happened, at least not publicly, since plans for the malls were unveiled about a year-and-a-half ago and it wasn’t a stretch to question whether the project would ever amount to anything more than an artist’s rendering.

That doubt had nothing to do with the TFN or its development partners, but was a natural reaction to any undertaking of that magnitude, particularly one that’s proposed for an area not known for its commercial offerings.

It’s one thing to conceive the idea, but it’s quite another to bring it to fruition, what with constantly changing market conditions and investors that can get cold feet, can’t come up with the necessary capital or find other priorities for their money.

Again, that’s not meant as a slight to any of the parties in the mall deals, it’s just that while all involved were doing their due diligence behind closed doors, it gave those of us on the outside time for our minds to race. It’s been a while and we haven’t heard anything, so do you think the plans are still on track?

The answer from the TFN has been an unequivocal “yes” when posed with that question, but until the announcement this week that site preparation work is beginning, there wasn’t any tangible evidence the malls were anything more than a paper concept.

It should be noted that relocating drainage channels and constructing a temporary road are a long way from opening the doors to a pair of mega malls, so some site prep isn’t going to put all doubts to rest. However, it appears after 18 months the TFN and its partners, Ivanhoe Cambridge and the Property Development Group, are still on track for the previously announced 2015 opening.

Should a filling program be followed by the start of construction next year, and those are two more hurdles the project must still clear, then it would take the exceedingly cynical not to come to the conclusion the mega malls will soon be a fixture on the South Delta landscape.

With that said, they still have a long way to go, but we’re a year-and-a-half in and it would be difficult to suggest the developers have given us any reason to doubt.

Enough land in town centre to accommodate housing needs IAN ROBERTSON

COMMUNITY COMMENT The advertised public meeting on the Southlands took place last Thursday. I was out of town so I asked a few people that attended what they thought. Their reaction could be summarized: • Heavy on the Delta process for approval (“Delta staff will provide an overview of the application”), but very light on what the outcomes would be (the sketches of the housing were shown with Century Group in attendance).

• No real comment from Delta planners as to the implications for the lifestyle of residents in Tsawwassen.

• Fuzzy responses on traffic — only Century’s data was shown and no implications for cumulative effect from TFN retail, etc.

• Delta staff did not write down questions to which they could not answer.

• Very little about what will happen to 80 per cent of property.

• A full Century team was pres-

ent and they “intimidated” some that wanted to, but feared, asking questions.

• The open meeting was a briefing, where questions from the floor had to wait until people were able to approach Delta staff one by one.

So no town hall-style of meeting.

Some said it was not a Delta information meeting as the substance of what will happen was solely that of the glossy words of the proponent. No commentary on impact by staff.

In teasing out what is really going on, the staff did release (with last-minute revisions) a report looking at what will be needed for flood proofing. To bring the reader up to date, the land is at sea level and under emerging B.C. guidelines any housing must be built on fill to raise the land. All of this is due to forecasted sea level rise over the next 50 to 100 years in Delta.

To summarize hundreds of pages of reports, either a dike must be built around Boundary Bay, which has been resisted by many homeowners, or a 15-foot dike must be built around the housing being proposed.

If just around the new houses, the consultant indicates 142,000 truckloads of fill are needed.

Allowing for return trips, we are looking at 300,000 trucks up and down 56th Street! No comment

I have been a proponent of farming on farmland for decades and do not change now in the light of this proposal. What’s wrong with keeping all 540 acres for farming?

Just because someone bought the land does not change its value or purpose.

Removing good farmland for housing is unnecessary and our grandchildren will admonish us when they realize what we have been doing. There is enough land already within the Tsawwassen boundaries to accommodate the extra housing that is needed and will be demanded over time.

We live on one-fifth of an acre, large enough for a septic field.

Now houses are being built on onethird of the land and do quite well.

The town centre contains 33 acres net of roads, or if you wish, about 1.4 million square feet. Most of the land is now zoned to allow six storeys, which translates to eight million square feet of retail, commercial, institutional, parking and residential. One thousand homes, at 1,000-square-feet per home, would take up only one million of that total.

So I say concentrate housing in the existing town centre and leave the farmland for farming.

Letters to the Editor

Bridge alone won’t be the answer Editor: Re: Plenty of pioneers after which to name a new crossing, letter to the editor, Oct. 24 Another motor vehicle crossing in itself is not the answer.

We must design it in keeping with some form of rapid transit and high-speed rail. We must design it to have the least detrimental effect on the ecosystem of the Fraser River just as the George Massey Tunnel was designed.

The Fraser River cannot be just a deep, cement-lined ditch that will allow deepsea ships to dock at New Westminster and the FraserSurrey docks. We already have a deep-sea port at Roberts Bank and we don’t need another one.

The Fraser River is the greatest salmon-bearing river in the world and has been recognized as such by the Ramsar designation.

Not only does it provide the means for the migration of salmon, but the nutrients

at its mouth sustain many shellfish and other species.

The other point of the letter regarding not naming a new river crossing after some political hack, I would hope Cliff Matson is not suggesting my father, George Massey, was a political hack. He was far from it.

Seventy-five years ago my father came to Delta and built a successful marine repair business. He dedicated his life to getting a better crossing of the

Fraser River, and died of a massive stroke eight days after the Deas Island Tunnel was built.

In 1967, although Mr. Deas contributed to the development of Delta as many others did, it was felt by many the tunnel should be renamed after George Massey in appreciation of his two decades fighting for its construction, not because he served as MLA for Delta in 1956 in the Social Credit government.

Conscious decision made not to include Roberts Bank Editor: Re: Feds didn’t refuse to Roberts Bank to Ramsar, letter to the editor, Oct. 26 It is absolutely evident the work done by our MP, the Corporation of Delta, Metro Vancouver and many other organizations over the years resulted in the successful and outstanding Ramsar designation of the Fraser River wetlands. I wholeheartedly congratulate everyone involved for their role in achieving this extraordinary level of rec-

ognition for these sensitive and important habitats.

But it is also a fact that certain agencies and governments refused to include the Roberts Bank Wildlife Management Area in the designation: even the list outlined by our MP clearly shows it was not included in the application.

My information is that the “landowner” must agree and in this instance there was no support for a Ramsar application, which included Roberts Bank, by

Port Metro Vancouver or, obviously, the province, which surely ought to have incorporated its own wildlife management area.

It is my contention that both the federal and provincial governments failed to require their agencies (Port Metro Vancouver being one) to support the inclusion of Roberts Bank in the quest for Ramsar designation.

My failure to adequately express that position is regrettable and I want to

assure all parties that I hold their successful achievement in the highest regard.

Life throws young family a curve

Jennifer Rumley, wife of Delta firefighter Mike Bjarnason, paralyzed after blood vessels bleed into spine What began as back pain turned into a medical nightmare for the wife of a local firefighter.

At the beginning of June, Jennifer Rumley, who is married to Delta firefighter Mike Bjarnason, started having nerve pain in her back. She went to the doctor, who suspected she might have picked up a case of shingles at Langley Memorial Hospital where she works as a physiotherapist. Rumley was given a prescription and sent on her way.

The couple went camping in Osoyoos with their two young children, Kaitlyn, 5, and Cameron, 3, but the pain continued and increased.

When the family returned home, she went back to the doctor, who ordered an Xray. Rumley said she was told it would take six days to get the results. With the pain increasing, she decided to see a chiropractor to try to find the source of her pain and some relief.

Still in pain and look-

ing for answers, Rumley returned to work at the end of June. By this time, she said, her left leg started going numb and she was limping. She said she continued working that week because the unit was short staffed but by Friday she knew something was seriously wrong.

She said she left work that afternoon, went home, packed a bag and returned to the hospital’s emergency department.

“I knew I would be admitted to the hospital,” she said, adding she packed for a week away from home and even parked down the hill from the hospital and walked into the emergency room to avoid the parking fees.

It was the Friday of the Canada Day long weekend and the emergency room was packed. Rumley said she arrived at 4 p.m. but did not see a doctor until midnight.

“I was in so much pain that I basically had tears rolling down my face,” she said, but with so many other people waiting, her case did not seem any more urgent.

She was admitted and sent for a CT scan.

After further examination and no concrete answers, she was then sent to Vancouver General Hospital on July 1 for an MRI. Once there, “pretty well all hell broke loose,” she said.

Rumley’s pain level was out of control.

“I felt like I was being lit on fire,” she said.

Through the excruciating pain, she had to lie still for 45 minutes while the MRI

was done. It was almost immediately discovered she had a bleed in her spinal cord due to a venous malformation — a bundle of blood vessels that would have been present since birth.

She was admitted to the hospital’s spinal cord unit. Every four hours she was given a “pin prick” test to monitor the feeling in her legs and she began rehabilitation. At first, she was able to walk 40 metres

at a time, but as the days progressed she was able to cover shorter and shorter distances. After six days at VGH, on the couple’s wedding anniversary, her legs stopped working.

Rumley said it’s unclear exactly what caused the blood vessels to start bleeding.

“I think it’s the luck of the draw,” she said.

After two weeks at VGH she was transferred the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre where she began learning how to use her wheelchair. She remained there until Sept. 21 when she was finally able to go home.

The family has since moved into a one-level condo and is currently looking for a home that will suit their new needs. Rumley said she had little time to adjust to her new surroundings and way of life, with two young children entering kindergarten and preschool.

She’s made it work, she said, with help and support from friends and family, as well as support from Bjarnason’s fellow

firefighters and Langley Memorial Hospital.

Earlier this month, friends held a fundraiser for the family and about 200 people showed up.

“I was just blown away,” she said.

Delta firefighters are putting on a fundraiser at Shady Island Pub in Richmond tonight (Nov. 2) from 4:30 to 11 p.m.

Tickets cost $40 each and include a burger, fries and a beer. There will also be a 50/50 draw and other prizes. Tickets can be purchased at any Delta fire hall.

Rumley is still not able to drive. She is currently waiting to go through driver rehab training and the couple still needs to outfit their van with a lift and other modifications needed.

Rumley, who is also trained as an occupational therapist, said her professional background has helped her maintain a positive attitude about the situation.

“I think I would be in a much more sad state,” she said if she did not have the knowledge she does. “I do know the possibilities.”

Salon gets total makeover

A long-standing Tsawwassen hair salon has a new lease on life with a new owner, a new name and a whole new look.

Esthetician Nav Dhaliwal had been working out of her Ladner home for more than five years when she decided to take a leap and open her own salon.

She took over a location on 56th Street in Tsawwassen and opened Locks & Lashes six months ago. The business has been a local salon for about four decades.

Dhaliwal gutted and totally renovated the space, but refurbished and kept the old hair dryer chairs.

Lock & Lashes is a full service salon. Dhaliwal has been joined by a team of experienced professionals in the industry, including hair stylists Kirsten Bennett, Kady Thompson, Alyssa Swenson and Laura Sanders, and esthetician April Cook.

The women at Locks & Lashes can offer clients a long list of services — from hair cuts and colour to waxing and threading, eyelash extensions and biosculpture nails.

Dhaliwal said her aim with Lock & Lashes is to provide the full-service salon experience at affordable prices. So far, the response from the community has been amazing, she said, and the salon has seen huge growth in its first six months.

Locks & Lashes also carries a variety of products, including a full range of evo hair and skin products.

Locks & Lashes is located at 1513-56th St. For more information call 604-943-2511, visit www. locksandlashesinc.com or look them up on Facebook at www.facebook.com/locksandlashesinc.

Forgiven sinners Halloween, the day we pretend to be something we are not.

It has always amazed me at how intricate the costumes become each year. I have seen witches, zombies, nurses, Victorian and even fruit costumes. There are costumes that were store bought and costumes that were made.

I remember dressing up one year as Superman and another year as a biker because they seemed to take no guff from anyone, and for one night I could be someone else.

Every Halloween I am reminded of conversations from people, usually outside the church, who say, “Why would I want to join a bunch of people who pretend they are something they are not?”

When I ask what they mean, they often say, “It’s like they put on a mask on Sundays, and the rest of the week they are just like everyone else who sin and do bad things.”

I often find myself smiling, not because I think they are naïve, but because I agree. It does look that way.

What I explain is, yes, it appears this way but in reality when at church we are reminded that all of us have sinned. All of us, myself included.

The difference is we realize God also saved us and forgives us our sins by what His Son Jesus did for us on the cross.

We are not pretending to be something we are not; we are sinners, we are simply forgiven sinners.

Innovative way to raise issue of world hunger

The Hunger Games set for Ladner’s Cedar Park Church

SUBMITTED PHOTO

New Day trainers Jane Marquis, Terry Day and Anne Herringer got the gloves on for the recent Train the Trainer Day.

Hospice benefits as New Day clients put trainers through their paces Have you ever felt it would be gratifying to see your personal trainer sweat as hard as they make you sweat? Clients recently got a chance to do this at New Day Personal Training and Fitness, raising funds for a local cause in the process.

New Day hosted a unique fundraiser called Train the Trainer Day. Clients had a chance to put their trainer through the vigorous training exercises by making a donation to the Delta

Hospice Society.

When asked how he came up with the idea, owner Terry Day said, “This is an activity I have been involved with in the past with other organizations for different charities. We wanted a local community charity that we could support annually and felt the Delta Hospice Society would be a good fit.”

The event raised $1,225 for Delta Hospice.

“This was a really great

idea for a fundraiser,” said Delta Hospice executive director Nancy Macey. “We feel very fortunate to be chosen to receive the proceeds from this and hope everyone had a great workout that day.”

The Delta Hospice Society operates the Harold & Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care and the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner and the Hospice Cottage Charity Shoppe in Tsawwassen.

Ladner’s Cedar Park Church will be hosting its own version of The Hunger Games next week.

Set for Thursday, Nov. 8 from 7 to 9:30 p.m., The Hunger Games will be an interactive, educational evening where participants will learn about world hunger, as well as what they can do to help alleviate it, through a series of engaging activities and presentations.

Admission is free, but those attending are asked to bring a donation to the food bank.

The evening will be broken down into three of the main causes of world hunger: poverty, natural disasters and over-exploitation of

the environment. For each cause, the event will discuss how it contributes to hunger and what people can do to lessen the effect, with a focus on personal lifestyle choices.

Rather than teach through typical methods such as PowerPoint presentations, participants will play games that serve as demonstrations, and then have brief discussions after each game to clarify the facts presented.

The idea for the event came about when Braeden Saucy and friend Tessa Bartz were discussing university courses for the semester.

Is your home insurance earthquake ready?

Following the events of the past weekend, B.C. residents are advised to consider the consequences of an earthquake and review their insurance coverage to ensure protection against such disasters.

Generally, earthquakes are not covered by basic home insurance, and BCAA suggests keeping the following things in mind when adding earthquake coverage to your policy: • Mild earthquakes can cause major damage. A slight shift in your foundation can result in repairs that may cost more than your earthquake insurance deductible.

Multiply your math skills.

Whether it’s extra help with algebra or additional coursework to strengthen college applications, Sylvan will develop a personalized learning plan to meet your needs.

• Understand the risk. While any natural disaster is difficult to predict, small- to medium-size earthquakes are common in B.C. and more than 1,200 are recorded annually.

• Decide what you want covered. You can choose to cover your building only or include your contents as well.

Coverage costs will depend on the value of your home/possessions, location, or the earthquake deductible you choose.

sawwassen resident Scott Armstrong has created an online community aimed at staying active and engaged no matter how many candles are on your birthday cake.

AdventureFive-0.com is a free site that allows like-minded individuals from around the world, or around the corner, to connect.

The site went live two months ago and was officially launched just last week.

There is already a group of members planning a trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro next year.

The site isn’t all about physical extremes, he said, it’s about encouraging people in the 40-plus-age bracket to continue to push boundaries — adventure, fitness and philanthropy.

“It celebrates remarkable achievements that defy aging,” he said.

Armstrong, 50, said the motivation for the project is a personal one.

“I see, we all see, individuals who are aging faster than they necessarily need to. I have friends who carry the extra weight, are becoming diabetic and scoff when I mention an adventurous outing.”

Membership with AdventureFive-0.com is free and there is no advertising on the site. Once signed up, members can create

and post their “bucket list” and search for and connect with members who have similar interests.

The site also includes regular posts with fitness and diet tips, gear recommendations and inspirational stories — like the one about a woman in her 90s from Toronto who continues to teach yoga.

Armstrong said there is a substantial amount of research out there that supports the theory that people who continue to try new things, challenge themselves and get new stimuli to their brains and bodies live longer and have a higher quality of life through both better health and mental acuity.

He said he saw this firsthand back in the late 1980s and early ‘90s when he ran a

“

wildlife sanctuary. As part of that, he would take some of the animals out to events, including visits to seniors’ care home.

He said many times he would see a glimmer of someone’s spirit but their body had essentially given up.

“Here, when we’re older we resort to comfort zones,” he said.

Many of the activities become quite sedentary and people who are active in their younger years start to shy away from those same activities as they age.

Armstrong said being active as you age is more about just staying in the game than breaking records or setting personal bests.

“We’re capable of a lot more than we think,” he said. “AdventureFive-0 is not just

I see, we all see, individuals who are aging faster than they necessarily need to. I have friends who carry the extra weight, are becoming diabetic and scoff when I mention an adventurous outing.

about physical fitness, it’s an attitude.”

Armstrong, a former director of entrepreneurship and corporate training at BCIT, who is now a professional speaker in the area of business strategy, entrepreneurship and motivation, and a group of eight other AdventureFive-0 members recently completed Tough Mudder, an 18-kilometre obstacle course race designed by British Special Forces in Seattle.

Participants are challenged with a variety of physical obstacles while running along the course. Tough Mudder races are held around the world and the group also took on the one in Whistler earlier in the summer.

He said most of the people in the group are over 50 and the team stuck together and helped each other get to the end.

It’s been more than a month since the race and “we are all still experiencing euphoria from our accomplishment and the fun we had,” he said.

“You feel like you can accomplish anything in any aspect of your life.”

So far, he said, AdventureFive-0 has signed up 200 members. His goal is to have 1,000 members by March and to have a member on every continent, although, he said, he’s not holding out hope for Antarctica.

The benefits of rolling it out

H

ow many of you stretched after your last workout? Yeah, even if I could see a show of hands, I think that showing would be slim.

I, too, am guilty of skipping the stretch part of my workout. Although I know it’s good for me, sometimes even us trainers don’t always do what’s expected of us.

One thing I have found to help offset my lack of stretching, though, is rolling.

While I may not have the time right after my workout for those pesky, good-forme stretches, I always have some spare time in the evening to roll out my tired and shortened muscles.

stars for the day I met the Travel Roller. It has not only helped me to stay loose, but has also helped me to continue training like a frenzied banshee — well into my 40s.

• Rolling has also proven to be successful in improving an athlete’s balance, coordination and stamina.

So, if it can work on an athlete, just think of what it can do for us regular folk.

• Finally, rolling will also help improve your spinal alignment and posture.

Great news for all you desk-jockeys out there.

If you are looking to purchase a Travel Roller, check out Fitness Town (www. fitnesstown.ca) or Travel Roller’s own website for more information (www. travelroller.com).

Inside the core you will also find three acupressure balls, varying in density.

Foam rollers don’t have a fancy compartment like that.

Apparently, you can even store a bottle of wine inside your Travel Roller. Not sure if I recommend drinking and rolling, but it’s neat party trick nonetheless.

The Travel Roller is also designed for... well, travel.

Yes, it is small enough to easily pack in your suitcase, which is kind of cool.

It’s like bringing your own personal massage therapist on vacation with you.

Other benefits to rolling are: • Increased blood flow throughout the body, making this a great warm-up tool as well.

• Rolling, on a regular basis, will also help prevent injuries. I thank my lucky

A lot of people have heard of foam rolling, which is awesome. Foam rolling is a form of myofascial release, which is just a fancy word for working out the kinks and knots in the muscles.

While foam is one of the more popular ways to roll the muscles of the body, I much prefer the Travel Roller as my human rolling pin.

I took a course with the developers a few years ago, and their workshop has always stayed with me.

First off, most foam rollers are too large for our bodies, and the act of rolling on them will actually do more harm to the muscle cell than good. A Travel Roller, on the other hand, is ergonomically correct to fit all users (as long as you are under 6’5”).

Second, foam will break down, losing its compression and shape over time. A Travel Roller, on the other hand, will not. The inside

There were lots of little ghosts and goblins taking part in Halloween games, crafts and entertainment at Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall Wednesday afternoon. Above: three-year-old Jesse Ridgewell of Ladner colours. Left: A fairy, a princess and a knight in shining armour play one of the games.

Port Metro Vancouver is conducting Project Definition Consultation regarding the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project. As part of this consultation, Port Metro Vancouver is presenting information regarding the conceptual project design, as well as seeking input regarding elements of the project related to refining the design and developing environmental mitigation plans.

The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project is a proposed new multi-berth container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, BC that could provide 2.4 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of container capacity. The project is part of Port Metro Vancouver’s Container Capacity Improvement Program, a long-term strategy to deliver projects to meet anticipated growth in demand for container capacity to 2030.

You can provide feedback and learn more about the project by: • Attending a multi-stakeholder meeting or open house (see schedule below) Reading consultation materials and providing feedback online (consultation materials and an online • feedback form are available at www.portmetrovancouver.com/RBT2) Calling 604.665.9337 • a written submission through: • Providing Fax: 1.866.284.4271 - Email: container.improvement@portmetrovancouver.com - Mail: Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, 100 The Pointe, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, BC V6C 3T4

STAKEHOLDER MEETING & OPEN HOUSE SCHEDULE

The Earthwise Society is hosting a screening of Vanishing of the Bees next month at Firehall Centre for the Arts in North Delta.

Set for Wednesday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m., the documentary will detail the disastrous effects the disappearance of bees would have on our diet and what people can do to help prevent bees from disappearing.

Many bee species are endangered and vanishing.

Without pollinators, such as bees, we stand to lose onethird of the food in our diet.

Agricultural systems would be hard hit because without bees, crops such as blueberries and cranberries cannot produce fruit. Many plants that produce gourds, such as melons and squashes, are also dependent on bees for propagation, making bees a keystone species.

In response to this serious situation, the Earthwise Society and the Delta

Chamber of Commerce have instituted the Feed the Bees program. This program encourages individuals to include plants in their gardens that provide a continuous source of pollen and nectar to ensure the health of bee populations.

Earthwise Society can provide help and advice to gardeners interested in enhancing their gardens for bees. Gardeners are encouraged to register their bee-friendly garden with the program to receive lawn signage in recognition of their participation.

Seating is limited at this screening of Vanishing of the Bees. Tickets are $5 in advance or $10 at the door.

For more information about the screening and the Feed the Bees program, contact Earthwise Society at 604946-9828 (ask for Joni), info@earthwisesociety. bc.ca or www.earthwisesociety.bc.ca.

Highly effective, safe treatments Don’t let the name “Chemical Peels” scare you! These are highly effective, safe treatments to help correct many skin conditions!

There is nothing wrong with growing old gracefully; however for those of us who would like a little help to look our best along the way, chemical peels can help reduce the signs of ageing.

The natural aging process is defined in our genetics, resulting in complex hormonal and physical transformations that take place throughout life.

Premature Aging refers to the natural aging process, primarily due to damage from sun exposure, our diet and lifestyle. Consider this: not only are 99% of wrinkles caused by sun exposure, but premature aging can add up to 20 years to your appearance!

Taking care of your skin early can help.

Adopting a good skin care regime and avoiding unprotected sun exposure are the most important measures you can take. Wear a full spectrum sunscreen like Dermalogica’s “NEW SKIN PERFECT PRIMER WITH SPF30” daily, all year round, even when it is cloudy.

While the damage may already be done, there are a number of ways you can treat the signs of aging. It all starts with a visit to your professional skin care therapists at ATLANTIS DAY SPA!

One of the quickest, most inexpensive ways to treat aging skin in the spa is the use of Chemical Peels. Don’t let the name Chemical Peel scare you.The skin care specialists at ATLANTIS DAY SPA are highly trained to administer these highly effective treatments.

Straight from the heart Emotional Little House workshop sees mothers of addicts share experiences BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

The 14 women sit at tables arranged in a square. They come from a variety of backgrounds, some from different communities, but there is one common thread that binds them — they are all mothers or grandmothers of addicts.

Their individual stories might be different, but when one speaks of her experiences struggling to find help for her drugaddicted son, the others nod and look on with eyes that have seen the same pain.

The 12 mothers and two grandmothers met at the Little House in Tsawwassen for two Saturdays recently as the Little House Society presented its second installment of the Heart of a Mother workshop.

The society first presented the seminar in the spring of last year.

“Having this resource is hope,” says Barbara (real names not used in this story), who just that week came to the realization she had to ask her son to move out of her Tsawwassen home.

He is addicted to crack cocaine and while he’s been in and out of recovery over the years, the 27-year-old is using again.

He started drinking and using drugs at a young age and by 15 he was an addict.

“I knew I had to tell my son he had to move out,” she says with tears in her eyes.

It’s been a rough week. It’s Saturday.

He left on Tuesday and she doesn’t know where he is, what he’s doing or if he’s safe.

Addiction is not unfamiliar territory for the mother and grandmother. She’s had many other family members fall victim to the disease but with her son it’s different.

“When it’s your child, it’s 100 times harder,” she says.

By nature, mothers do whatever they can to protect their children, make their path through life a little easier and worry about their health and well being.

Mothers with children struggling with a dependency on drugs or alcohol are no different but the pain and stress they feel from the constant worry and not being able to “fix” their child’s problem is overwhelming.

Ellen knows that stress all too well. She was one of two mothers who travelled from Vancouver Island to take part in the Heart of a Mother workshops.

Her 20-year-old son is addicted to crack.

He also started using and abusing drugs and alcohol at a young age. She says he first started using at 11 and by 13 was blacking out. He recently agreed to seek help, entered treatment two weeks ago, but it took eight years to get there.

The stress started to affect Ellen physically.

“The last two weeks have been like two years because he’s been safe,” she says. “I found my life back and my heart stopped palpitating. I was under tremendous stress.”

Alana also felt the physical effects of the stress she has endured due to her son’s addiction.

“I ended up with breast cancer last year and it’s not in my family,” she says, “and I believe it’s totally related to the stress I’ve been going through over the past six years.

It just feels like it should never have happened.”

Her youngest son has been struggling with addiction for the past six years.

“It [the cancer diagnosis] was just an indicator that this is not going well,” she says.

Fourteen participants — 12 mothers and two grandmothers — took part in the Little House Society’s second Heart of a Mother workshop.

Alana also travelled from her home on Vancouver Island to attend the Heart of a Mother sessions at Little House. Both her and Ellen say they wish their own communities had a similar resource available.

“Places like this don’t exist anywhere in Victoria and it’s really sad that they don’t because it’s been about eight years of struggling to find somewhere to get him help,” Ellen says. “You can’t just walk in off the street in Victoria and see something like this.”

before it begins.

“People do not understand how this abuse/addiction issue tears apart every single thread in the seams of family togetherness,” he says. “It just destroys every seam.”

Little House, through sessions like Heart of a Mother, is trying to offer the tools to help repair, or prevent, some of the devastation.

Stimson says the decision was made to offer the second round of Heart of a

The Heart of This Mother

The heart of this mother is heavy The heart of this mother is weeping She surrendered her son unto God And into His hands for the keeping

She knows not where he is going Or if safety will be his friend Still she helps him carry his things down the hall With no guarantee as to how it will end His room and their hearts are just empty And he just wants to linger awhile He knows he must go and she wants to give in It’s a reach down deep for a smile They both try to be strong while aching inside As they hug at the kitchen door No survivors today, their all washed away While the Little House doesn’t offer treatment for people struggling with substance abuse and addiction, it does host a number of support group meetings, as well as resources and education for people looking for help.

Little House Society president Jim Stimson says the group has several aims: to offer a helping hand to addicts and those in recovery, support for families, as well as education to help prevent the problem

By the tears that cover the floor This surrender is hard As she completely lets go Detaches, sets her boundaries Gives up all control She knows that it’s time In fact, long overdue He must choose his own path And so she must too She just needs to love him And learn all she can Get out of the way Let him be his own man The heart of this mother is grateful That in her community resides A “Little House” of recovery Where healing and hope abides By anonymous workshop participant

Mother seminars because the society was receiving requests for it from mothers in the community. Little House has decided to offer the workshops quarterly and is also looking at offering similar programs for other family members.

Barbara says she does not know what the future holds for her son, but the sessions have brought her hope and helped start the healing process. She says she feels like she will be better able to handle whatever hap-

pens.

“I feel like I’m going home with a toolbox,” she says.

For Ellen, the sessions have helped bring her a newfound strength to take on the next leg of the journey as her son enters treatment.

“I could never take on the letting go that I’m about to do and the letting go that I’ve done in the last little while without the support and without the direction.”

The strong bond between the mothers is obvious after just two sessions together.

They agree that sharing and being around other people, who are in the same position and have been through similar experiences, has been healing.

That support between the mothers is critical, Stimson says.

“It was so powerfully healing for me in there and the depth of feeling that people gave. Enlightenment. There was so much happening in there,” Nancy says of the sessions.

A single mom from Tsawwassen, Nancy’s 27-year-old son is a recovering meth addict. His problems began early with marijuana.

“When he was 11, I didn’t see that he was smoking dope,” she says. “I just thought with the complexity of his learning disability it was getting more stressful at school, and I didn’t catch it,” she says through tears.

Catherine, who just found out in the spring that her 24-year-old son was dealing with a cocaine addiction, says she’s found hope through the Little House.

She says the news of her son’s addiction was a complete surprise and the family had no idea where to go for help.

Her son attends support group meetings there and, she says, she found the two-day workshop “astounding” educationally and emotionally “This was a much needed education for helping me help myself through this,” says the Ladner resident.

Here are a few quick and easy decorating tips for the season.

Festive decorating on a smaller scale Hot holiday trends are coming in small packages this year

Living in a condominium, townhome or apartment shouldn’t mean you have to forgo festive holiday decorating. Experts in this field claim some of this year’s hottest holiday trends come in very small packages.

Here, a lot of that legwork is done to help you create your very own Christmas in Condoland.

Interior decorators recommend utilizing as much of your existing home décor as possible. This includes making use of your current colour scheme to achieve a festive impact. Holiday décor is no longer limited to the traditional green and red; many decorations are available in a range of colours that will match or complement your colour pallet, including neutrals, metallics and bolder tones.

Brighten hanging pictures by swapping the current image with ones that capture a special holiday moment and attach some evergreen to the top of the frame as an accent. Replace existing accent pillows, as well as throw blankets and bathroom, kitchen and dining linens, with ones that are holiday themed.

As an added touch, break out festive dishware and keep it on display throughout the season.

Karen Sortino, a home organization specialist from Lowe’s Home Improvement, suggests when dealing with a small space to consider using the parameter of your living quarters, rather than cluttering living space by adding décor items that may get in the way.

“Hanging wreaths and garlands to walls, window wells and frames is easy to accomplish, and requires no rearranging. Monogrammed hooks can be installed temporarily to hang stockings or wreaths to your walls and mantles, and crystals or ornaments can be dangled from ceilings using ribbon or clear fishing wire.”

Despite all of these options, many people insist that putting up a Christmas tree is essential to fostering holiday spirit. Fortunately, there are many options such as miniature trees (natural or artificial), tabletop trees and half trees that sit flush against your wall. There are even peel and stick Christmas tree wall decals.

If you have a balcony or solarium, consider putting a

out a party or two with family and friends. Be it to celebrate a religious holiday or to ring in the new year, a holiday party is an essential element to the holiday season.

While it’s always great to be a guest, hosting a holiday party is a great way to show friends and family how much they mean to you. This holiday season, consider the following tips to ensure your holiday party is as memorable as the season is merry: • Make it a themed party.

The holiday season is filled with festivities, from office parties to neighbourhood gatherings. For more casual affairs, set your party apart with a theme. For example, a Christmas sweater party, where each guest wears a Christmas sweater, can be a fun way to excite guests and

inspire a few laughs. Give a prize to the guest with the most ornate sweater.

If sweaters aren’t your thing, then encourage guests to dress up like some favourite holiday characters, including Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman or even Rudolph.

• Don’t forget the holiday fare. Just like parties are a staple of the holiday season, so, too, are certain foods and types of music.

Few people indulge in some eggnog outside of the holiday season, so make sure there’s plenty of eggnog on hand. And don’t forget the gingerbread cookies, either.

As people enjoy holiday goodies, make sure they do so with holiday music playing in the background.

Choose songs that guests know and to which they

can sing along. Such singalongs might become especially memorable once guests have a glass or two of eggnog in them.

• Host a holiday giveaway.

Though it can be fun to do a Secret Santa, chances are guests already have enough gifts to buy. But hosts can spice things up with a holiday giveaway that rewards guests.

Host a holiday-themed round of Trivial Pursuit or a holiday movie trivia game that encourages guests to compete for prizes. Prizes can be small and inexpensive, but guests will be sure to enjoy some friendly competition for holiday-themed prizes.

• Don’t be afraid to take it outside. While fun in the snow is often left to the kids, don’t assume adults won’t enjoy building some snowmen or a good oldfashioned snowball fight in the backyard if the weather permits.

If outdoor fun is going to be on the docket, be sure to remind guests to dress appropriately. And make sure there’s plenty of hot chocolate ready once everyone goes back inside to warm up.

• Prearrange transportation home for guests. A successful holiday party is one that is safe, so be sure to prearrange travel home for guests just in case anyone overindulges in holiday cheer.

When sending out invitations, seek volunteers to be designated drivers and avoid drinking alcohol yourself. For larger parties, call a local taxi service and arrange for a couple of cabs to be on call when the party ends.

Cheese is always a party crowd pleaser A creative cheese plate is a crowd pleaser during the holidays and better still, it is simple to prepare and it doesn’t take up any space in your oven.

These steps will help you create the perfect cheese platter to surprise your guests with tempting varieties and new taste experiences: Get creative with the platter.

A party plate is fine, but you might also use a wooden board, a slab of marble or a piece of slate.

Choose a variety of cheeses, including a soft-ripened cheese, or “bloomy rinds” as they’re also known. Then, add a semi-soft cheese, like Gouda or havarti. You’ll also need hard/ firm cheeses like manchego or pecorino. And for more tangy option, add a goat’s milk cheese. Round out the spec-

trum of flavours with a washed rind cheese and a blue cheese.

Get your quantities right. For a party platter, appetizer or dessert cheese plate, serve a small crowd three to five types of cheese and five to 10 types for a larger crowd. Calculate for approximately 30 to 40 grams of each cheese per person.

Don’t forget the accompaniments. Fruits like fig, pear and

Serve with care. Always prepare your platter in advance, lay out appropriate knives and let your cheese sit at room temperature for at least one hour before serving.

Getting ready for overnight guests Thousands of people travel far and wide to visit family and friends for the holidays. Chances are many holiday hosts and hostesses will open their homes to overnight guests.

There are a number of ways to get ready for holiday guests. Keep these tips in mind as you prepare your home.

• Set aside space. Not every household has a spare guest room available, but there are ways to make guests feel like they have their own private area. There’s the possibility of giving up your own room for the night or set up a space in an out-of-the-way den or a child’s bedroom. People who live in the house may be more comfortable bunking with another than an outside guest.

• Offer individual linens. A fresh set of sheets and towels contributes to a hotel’s comfort level. Welcome guests with a set of fresh sheets and soft towels.

• Stock extra toiletries. The holiday season is a busy time, and it’s easy for travelers to forget a thing or two. Keep an extra toothbrush and some spare mouthwash at the ready. Travel-sized soaps and shampoos may be more convenient for guests and might help them feel more comfortable and

less burdensome staying in your home.

• Accommodate guests’ needs. Some guests may be allergic to certain foods, while others may prefer to watch the latenight news before bed. Find out their preferences beforehand so you can do your best to make them feel comfortable.

• Have laundry services available. Give guests their own laundry bag so they can wash clothes if they’ll be staying for an extended period of time. Fresh clothes make anyone feel better.

• Invest in an air mattress. Having extra places for guests to sleep often comes in handy. Air mattresses are easy to inflate at a moment’s notice for an unexpected guest and can be quickly deflated and stored in a closet or under a bed.

• Bend house rules. While certain rules may be set in stone, bed times or meal times may have to be changed to accommodate guests who aren’t used to the goings-on of the household.

It can be fun or frustrating to have a guest stay over for the holidays.

But being prepared can make the time go by much more smoothly.

Unique ways to use lights Sometimes white or tinted string lights are exactly what you need to create the warm and whimsical mood that you long for during the holiday season.

Here are three unique ways to use twinkle lights to achieve a warm and cozy ambience indoors.

“This will help illuminate your surroundings without employing direct overhead lights,” he says.

They can also be bunched under sofas, armchairs, and cabinets to create an uplighting effect.

Generate a warm and romantic ambiance by looping indoor string lights or net lights (net lights are string lights that are secured to each other to create a grid effect) over your window curtain rod so they hang behind a sheer curtain panel.

This effect is further enhanced by hanging the lights between an opaque curtain panel

“String lights have come a long way over the past few years” says Rob Rizzi, a fashion lighting specialist from Lowe’s Home Improvement. “Today there are so many indoor options to choose from including LED, coloured bulbs, even electroluminescents.”

Rizzi suggests wrapping LED string lights around the frames of doors, windows, pictures and mirrors to help lighten the perimeter of your room.

Creating a warm, inviting space

When decorating, choosing an overall theme and coordinating colour can really help unite the various areas of the home With only 53 days until Christmas the thought of holiday decorating is becoming more forefront on people’s minds.

Creating a warm inviting space for holiday entertaining can be achieved with a few key decorating principles.

Choosing an overall theme is important to unite the different spaces of any home.

Perhaps a seasonally influenced theme such as snowflakes, candy canes, Santa’s, gingerbread, bows, presents and gifts. If these seem too ordinary for your taste take inspiration from anything — peacocks, sports, or tropical flowers, etc.

After a theme is established, coordinating a colour scheme is the next step.

This will come quite naturally as it is directly influenced by the theme. If snowflakes were the selection, the natural colours would be whites, silvers and blues.

If a peacocks theme was the

choice, perhaps teal, green and purple. These colours can be incorporated into elements like tree ornaments, table setting and room décor.

general room décor as well.

In order to achieve a warm, comfortable space complimentary textures must be utilized or a space can feel cold and hard.

Once your colours have been decided, layering textures and natural elements becomes important.

This principal applies to

A knitted throw in one of the theme colours can accent a neutral sofa or chair, and table linens can add softness to a space.

Introducing items such as cedar boughs add a natural element to any space, and they can be accented with ornaments or décor to tie into the colour and theme.

Not to mention they smell terrific!

Scale and proportion are an important finishing touch to décor in any space — seasonal or not. In holiday decorating keep this in mind particularly when choosing

elements like Christmas trees. It’s easy to misinterpret the size of a tree when it’s out in the open lot, but if you determine the ideal size for the space before leaving home you can ensure the scale will be appropriate when you return.

When choosing ornaments for the tree also consider scale and proportion; vary the size and types for an interesting look and be sure to incorporate your theme and colours.

Following these simple principles will guide your decorating and ensure you have a coordinated holiday look.

Hawks getting plenty of attention Local Pacific International Junior Hockey League defending champions lose blueliner to BCHL team BY

Pacific Standard Time.

Height in feet

MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

The Delta Ice Hawks sizzling start to the season has got attention of more than just their opponents in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League.

Defenceman Mark Whiteley has signed with the Langley Rivermen of the B.C. Junior Hockey League and he’s not the only one who has generated interested.

BCHL teams are also asking about first-year forward Mak Barden, who is second in PIJHL scoring with 32 points in 16 games.

The 19-year-old Surrey native played in the BCHL last season with Salmon Arm where he was limited to fourth line duty and killing penalties. He has flourished in Delta and once again showing the offensive touch he enjoyed throughout his minor hockey career.

“He is coming from a situation that wasn’t great from him and getting the opportunity to use his natural ability,” said Ice Hawks head coach Dave McLellan. “He is getting the calls already but his thought process his to play with us for the rest of his career then be part of the SFU program. It’s a good decision for him as he gets a chance to be an effective player and to try and win a championship but you still never know what kind of opportunity might come along.”

Whiteley’s departure wasn’t a huge surprise given he was an affiliate player with the Rivermen last season. He opted not to attend their training camp in August but Langley knew what it was getting in the 19-year-old who has been a steady fixture on the Delta blueline since he was 16.

“It’s great for him and that’s what (this league) is all about,” continued McLellan. “This is his last kick of the can and he has to make the best of it.”

The Ice Hawks didn’t have to look far for another veteran defenceman as 20-year-old Ryan Mana has rejoined the club following a brief retirement.

B.C. Hockey League clubs have taken notice of Delta Ice Hawks first-year forward Mak Barden who currently sits second in league scoring with 32 points in 16 games, including 15 goals. The 19-year-old, who played in Salmon Arm last year, had a goal and an assist in Delta’s 6-1 win over Mission on Tuesday night.

The 6-foot-4 Bellingham native was mainstay on the blueline during the 2010-11 season but left the game to focus on his studies at Western Washington University.

Now he’s back for his final year of junior eligibility. The Ice Hawks have also signed his 17-year-old brother Kyle Mana — another blueliner.

“You see that happen all the time in junior where a player realizes he

wants to give it one more chance,” added McLellan. “He has jumped in and played well already and he is not even in game shape yet.”

The Hawks improved to 13-2-1 on the season with a dominating 61 victory over Mission on Tuesday night. Team captain Alex Martin led the way with a pair of goals and one assist. Michael Olson-Eyre, Tanner Gattinger, Aaron Merrick and Barden also scored.

Sun Devils top rivals again to win Pacific Academy tourney BY

MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

The Earl Marriott Mariners must be getting little tired of seeing the South Delta Sun Devils.

The top 10 provincially ranked “AAAA” senior girls volleyball teams met for the fourth time this season on Saturday and once again the Sun Devils came out on top.

The latest chapter was the championship match of the 24-school Pacific Academy Tournament in Surrey.

The No. 2 ranked Sun Devils have now beaten the No. 3 Mariners three times in tournament play and once in tier one league action.

“We’ve had two close matches with them and this was one of them,” said South Delta head coach Dan Burgess. “The girls continue to play at a pretty high level as we get closer to the playoffs.”

Setter Emma Robinson and libero Emma Glennon were named to the tournament all-star team, while the Devils played without power hitter Christine Howlett who is sidelined with a finger injury. She is expected to miss the upcoming Fraser

A finger injury is expected to sideline South Delta power hitter Christine Howlett (10) for the next few weeks Valley Championships but should be back in time for the provincials at the end of the month.

Burgess has said since the start of the season that a deep roster is of his squad’s greatest strengths and it will certainly be tested in the coming weeks.

“The depth on our team will be key to any success

we have this month,” he said.

South Delta’s final tune-up before the playoffs is this weekend’s Red Surge Tournament at Riverside secondary in Port Coquitlam. The Devils round-robin group includes No. 4 Kelowna, No. 5 Riverside, No. 7 McMath and Charles Best.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent lies on depths, mysteries, lifestyle changes, sexual urges, large finances, partnership finances, and commitment. It’s an all-or-nothing time. New relationships (formed in the last year) either grow deeper, or break apart. Your subconscious rises to the surface, letting you understand or glimpse your motives, true desires, even your destiny. Start nothing new before Nov. 26. An old flame might “appear” in the ten days ahead; after that, a former lust object or financial or lifestyle idea might return.

If good then, good again. Romance colours MondayWednesday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The general accent lies on relationships, opportunities and challenges, cooperation and disunity, allies and enemies.

Relocation might appeal. However, do not start anything important, especially in these areas, before Nov. 26. Until then, a relationship from the past might re-appear and grow important, presenting you with a choice. Safest approach: don’t make any decisions before late November. Sunday’s for superficial things.

Focus on home, security and property Monday to Wednesday (but don’t buy anything). Romance, creativity visit late week. Chores, Saturday: be safe.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start nothing new before Nov. 26. An opportunity (and/or relationship) from the past might re-appear in the days ahead, but by next week the things returning are chores. You might have to redo something at your place of employment, or fill in at a former position. Watch schedules and supplies: disruptions and delays are likely, so plan well ahead, and have a back-up arrangement. Buy nothing Sunday. (It would prove useless.) Travel, communicate Monday-Wednesday. Be home, attend to family, property, security late week. Romance, Saturday? (Better in evening, night.)

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, adventure, creativity, beauty, pleasure, sports and games fill the weeks ahead. Not this week, but the next two, could bring an old flame. Judge whether this is worth taking up again. What were the original problems?

Your energy and charisma ride high Sunday – but don’t start any important new relationships (old flames excluded) or projects before Nov. 26.

Chase money, buy and sell Monday to Wednesday – but don’t buy big or expensive things. Travel, communications lure you late week (Thursday best).

Be patient: answers can take a long time. Home, family Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Lie low, rest and think Sunday. Your energy and charisma bounce back Monday to Wednesday. You attract admiration and ride a wee winning streak these three days. (It would be stronger if this month were not so domestic and “ending-oriented.” Still, it’s probably enough to put you over the top – or rescue you. Obama’s a Leo.) Still, until Nov. 26, it’s not a good idea to begin anything significant, buy anything important, nor initiate a relationship. An old love affair or a favourite child might return – it’s good, but short. Chase money late week: but buy nothing important.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start/buy/love nothing new before Nov. 26. Until then, you’re not seeing all elements of a situation or project. This leads to minor delays or mistakes with ongoing ventures, but proves deadly to new ones, if started during this interval. Do old or ongoing things only, especially in home and career zones. You might revisit an old haunt. Sunday’s useless but fun – enjoy! Retreat, lie low Monday to Wednesday. Re-examine all planned action: any flaws? Your energy and charisma surge upward late week. A career-money plum awaits your pluck! Buy NOTHING significant Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: You might feel ambitious Sunday, but your efforts would be wasted – relax.

Now to Nov. 26, do not launch any new enterprises, whether in business,practical or family affairs,or love.

They would tend to run in circles and never “finish.”

Old ventures, circumstances might re-appear in the next three weeks, especially in intellectual, learning, travel or governmental zones. If these are obligations, handle them. If opportunities, examine once, then grab ‘em. A former money opening might return next week or the next. Social delights arrive Monday-Tuesday. Retreat, contemplate late week.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charisma and pizzazz ride a wave of joy to late month – enjoy it! But don’t start new projects of any kind, especially in financial, sexual and social spheres.

Stick to the on-going, or reprise past, abandoned projects – these can succeed. Your heightened magnetism might attract someone from your past, particularly next week. Watch for mistakes, check your bank account, repeat instructions or phone numbers. You’re ambitious Monday-Wednesday: but remember, nothing new. Social joys, popularity, light romance and delicious optimism visit you late week.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Lie low, rest and contemplate. Your energy reserves are low. Take care of your “nest” (and nest egg). DON’T start new projects or relationships before Nov. 26. Past contacts and ongoing obligations/work roles are best. A former relationship could appear – good, all things being equal, before Nov. 14; not so good for love, good for therapy and confessions Nov. 14 onward. Someone could make your heart rise happily late week.

Research or rest Sunday. Your intellect awakens Monday to Wednesday. Ambitions, authorities figure prominently Thursday/Friday: behave!

Nov. 4 - 10, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Wishes can come true over the next three weeks – old wishes. At least one or two joys from the past will appear – a former light, fun romance, a past group of friends, a formerly planned then abandoned social, convention or political event, a former bright plan. You’re happy! But DO NOT start new projects or relationships, especially in these zones before Nov. 26. Relax, worship Sunday.

Mysteries, financial and sexual urges appear MondayWednesday. DO NOT commit. Travel, intellectual and legal areas are highlighted late week. Saturday’s ambitious: night time’s best.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your career, ambitions, status and reputation are highlighted this month.

(You seldom care about reputation because you’re usually innocent of bad motives.) A former career role might return. In all areas, avoid starting new projects, plans or relationships before Nov. 26. Instead, stick with ongoing situations, and protect these from mistakes, misunderstandings, missed meetings or supply shortages. A former friend might return briefly, to point the way. Exciting meetings, relationships fill early week (not Sunday). Mysteries and sexual, financial urges visit late week.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your dreams, plans and intellect turn backward into the land of revision this week to Nov. 26 – start nothing important before that date. Instead, address missing factors, read and research, and stick with ongoing projects and relationships – or reprise past situations and links. Sunday’s sweet, romantic, pleasurable, but with little result. Tackle routine chores Monday to Wednesday. Your relationships, good and difficult, fill Thursday/Friday (Thursday better). An investmentproperty deal, or sexy-security attraction, lights up mid-to-late week. timstephens@shaw.ca
