“It has a bit of slow zombies, fast zombies,” to give it a mix, he says.

He’s set to start filming the movie in Ladner and Chilliwack beginning tomorrow. Filming is expected to go until Sept. 1.

Mills is hoping the community gets involved in bringing his project to fruition. He’s starting an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign and says he’s using locals as zombies in the film.

He says a lot of the zombie

spots have been filled but those interested in becoming a member of the undead for the film can check the movie’s Facebook page for more information.

He hopes to have Hours Till Dead, his third feature horror film, finished by next Halloween.

One of his other films, The Changing of Ben Moore, is set to debut this Halloween.

Delta police are setting the record straight about an incident in Tsawwassen last week where a child was approached while playing in his yard.

Last Friday evening, two people in a vehicle approached a boy playing in his yard. They asked him if he was missing a dog.

The boy went inside and told his mother what happened.

“This incident has been discussed on social media over the past couple of days and the Delta police would like to emphasize that there is no evidence to connect this incident to the two Delta males being investigated by Surrey RCMP in relation to child luring,” Sgt. Sarah Swallow said in a press release.

Last week, Surrey RCMP announced the arrests of two Delta residents in a suspected child luring case.

John Wells, 24, and Kelly Pearson, 24, were arrested last Wednesday after police investigated offences that allegedly occurred over the Internet and at a paintball field in Surrey, where the pair regularly played in a league.

Wells is facing five charges of luring a child and one count of invitation to sexual touching, while Pearson is charged with three counts of invitation to sexual touching, one count of sexual interference and one count of possession of child pornography.

Both were subsequently released on strict conditions.

An annual event in a Ladner subdivision last weekend supported women battling breast cancer in Mexico.

Longtime Ladner resident Marlyn Ferguson was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, and after undergoing a double mastectomy, she decided it would be the perfect time to burn some of her bras.

“I thought, ‘Hey, this would be a good chance to have a bra burning,’” she said.

However, a conversation with some neighbours changed her mind. Linda McCannell and Elaine Varney suggested instead of burning her bras, Ferguson donate them to the Cancer de Mama Clinic in Mexico.

And a new tradition was born.

The fourth annual Bra Burning Party in support of the Cancer de Mama Clinic in Mexico last Saturday night collected close to 200 bras and raised more than $600 for the cause. No bras are actually burned at the party; instead attendees are asked to bring a new or gently used bra or a cash donation.

The event takes place in the South Pointe subdivision, a 55-plus community, and always includes food,

This year, the party also included the annual visit from two of Delta’s finest, Ferguson said with a laugh, to tell the crowd of mostly seniors to keep it down.

“They show up every year,” she said. “It’s tradition now that the police show up.”

Ferguson said both the Corporation of Delta and the police department told her that noise would be permitted until 10 p.m., however the men in blue shut it down at 9:30 p.m. this year.

The Cancer de Mama Clinic provides free prosthesis and specially altered bras to Mexican women

dealing with breast cancer.

The clinic, which is only held for three days a year in La Penita in Nayarit, also funds medical expenses, helps with counseling and physical therapy after surgery, and provides wigs, scarves and hats for the women.

Nayarit has the highest

instance of breast cancer in Mexico and every year hundreds of women come from surrounding cities and villages, some hours away, to attend the clinic. Most do not have enough insurance to cover post-surgery care and are left on their own.

Prosthetics typically cost $350 to $500.

“For most people [in Mexico], that’s a whole family income,” McCannell said.

New and gently used bras are donated and altered to add pockets to hold the prosthetics.

McCannell and Varney got involved with the clinic after checking out the La Penita RV park. The clinic takes place in the park with many of the residents volunteering to help out.

McCannell said for weeks before the clinic, residents of La Penita sort donations of scarves, hats, wigs, prosthetics and bras, and add the pockets to the bras.

On the day of the clinic, the women start arriving by bus hours before it is set to open.

Last year, Cancer de Mama helped more than 550 women.

Fraser Surrey Docks gets approval for coal facility BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Port Metro Vancouver has approved the highly controversial proposal by Fraser Surrey Docks to build a thermal coal handling facility along the Fraser River.

The port announced the approval late yesterday

morning, which comes after a two-year review process that included extra measures taken to assess any potential environmental and human health risks.

In granting the permit, the port has imposed a strict set of conditions to ensure environmental and safety standards.

“The decision to permit

the proposed coal transfer facility at Fraser Surrey Docks was not one we took lightly,” said Peter Xotta, PMV’s vice president of planning and operations.

“Through our comprehensive project review process, stakeholder consultation, as well as third-party validated environmental and health studies, it was

determined there are no unacceptable risks and the project could be permitted.”

Fraser Surrey Docks plans to develop part of its 63-hectare site on the south side of the Fraser River to transfer coal brought in by rail from the U.S. That coal would be loaded directly onto barges and towed by tug to Texada Island, where

it would be transferred into storage to wait for oceangoing freighters.

Members of the public and local governments raised a number of concerns about the project.

The Corporation of Delta has maintained the facility should follow Metro Vancouver air quality regulations.

Mosquito efforts not focusing on West Nile Municipality’s annual control program no longer receiving Fraser Health Authority funding to combat virus BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta has been busy once again trying to get rid of mosquitoes but nothing is occurring as far as monitoring for the West Nile virus.

The Mosquito Control Program is in full swing with a contractor focusing on getting at the nuisance bugs in the most susceptible stage of their life cycle, the larval stage, through regular

monitoring and treatment of larval habitats. Those breeding grounds are usually ditches and other pools of water, but the largest and most prolific sources of recurrent mosquito development in Delta are several tidally influenced salt marshes.

Treatments are conducted using a species-specific larvicide which is a naturally occurring soil bacteria and does not impact other

organisms found in aquatic habitats. Aerial spraying for adult mosquitoes has not been done in Delta for many years.

Corporation of Delta communications manager Lauren Munden said the contractor has been setting up boxes to trap mosquitoes to see what kind are in the area in order to apply the proper treatment, but neither Delta nor the Fraser Health Authority is actively

604.241.2848 8580 River Rd, Richmond

taking part in a West Nile monitoring program.

From 2002 to 2012, the FHA had a monitoring program and for a number of those years the municipality had been provided extra funding for mosquito monitoring and pre-emptive larviciding of catch basins and open water habitat.

During the previous mosquito seasons, the FHA operated traps throughout the region for the B.C.

Centre for Disease Control, where the pests were identified and tested. Dead corvids, which include magpies, crows and ravens, were also analyzed.

Most people who become infected with West Nile virus through mosquito bites don’t experience any symptoms. Approximately 20 per cent will experience mild to severe flu-like symptoms, in most cases lasting three to six days.

Woman gives chase as man rides off on bike The purpose of the Crime Beat is to educate and inform the public about some of the property crime trends occurring in South Delta and other files of interest. If you see anything occurring that you believe to be suspicious, call 911 for in-progress crimes and emergencies or 604-9464411 for other assistance.

The following are some of the calls the Delta police responded to in the previous week: Tsawwassen • Aug. 13, 8:44 p.m., Stevens Place: Complainant reported her bike had been taken from her house by a friend of her grandson.

Through miscommunication the bike was eventually taken to the skate park where it was left and is now missing. Charges were not recommended as there was no criminal intent. The complainant will contact Delta Works Yard to see if they picked up the bike from the park.

• Aug. 14, 7:26 a.m., 1600-block of Duncan Drive: Sometime overnight a complainant’s vehicle was entered by suspects who smashed the lock on the driver’s side door.

Prescription sunglasses, sports equipment and small change were stolen. A canvass of the neighbourhood for witnesses was negative.

• Aug. 14, 2:11 p.m., 1600-block of 56th Street: Complainant reported she lost her wallet. The wallet is described as a small black card holder and contained the complainant’s driver’s licence. The driver’s licence number was added to the police database.

• Aug. 16, 10:49 a.m., Tralee Crescent: Report

received from complainant that he was asked to store his friend’s bike but sometime over the past several days the bike had been stolen.

The bicycle is a custom made men’s road bike with one orange and one green fluorescent wheel and a black and white cowhide seat. Complainant advised to contact the Corporation of Delta to view found bikes.

• Aug. 16, 3:41 p.m., 800-block of 52nd Street: Complainant reported she had left her home vacant while she was away on business. During her absence the home had been broken into. Items were moved and a bottle of vodka was missing but otherwise no damage. The complainant’s ex-husband spoke with their 14-year-old son who admitted to entering the house with a few of his friends. Discipline was left to the parents; however, police spoke to the suspect at length about the incident.

• Aug. 16, 3:56 p.m., 100-block of English Bluff Road: Report received from complainant that sometime overnight someone had entered his unlocked vehicle parked in his driveway and stole two credit cards and a cell phone.

Ladner • Aug. 11, 4900-block of 44th Avenue: An unknown person entered an unlocked vehicle sometime overnight and stole the complainant’s wallet and prescription sunglasses. The wallet contained various credit and debit cards, driver’s licence, SIN card, CareCard and cash. The suspect was

able to make a fraudulent transaction at a gas station before the complainant was able to cancel all bank cards.

• Aug. 11, 7:29 a.m., 5300-block of Chamberlayne Avenue: Complainant reported someone had stolen his outdoor furniture. The furniture is described as a wicker couch and two chairs with green cushions.

• Aug. 11, 7:14 p.m., 5700-block of Ladner Trunk Road: Complainant left her bicycle unlocked in the bike rack of a business. While she was sitting on the patio she observed a male grab the bike and ride away. The complainant attempted to chase the suspect but was unable to keep up.

• Aug. 13, 5:01 p.m., 6100-block of Ferry Road: Complainant returned from his holiday to find someone had tried to steal his boat moored in the marina. The suspects had tried to bypass the ignition of the boat but an automatic shut-off in the engine compartment overrides the ignition and likely resulted in the theft not being completed.

• Aug. 13, 7:45 p.m., 5200-block of Ladner Trunk Road: The complainant left her bicycle unlocked in the bike rack while she ran into the store. When the complainant returned five minutes later the bike was gone. The bicycle is a men’s grey mountain bike.

• Aug. 17, 2:05 a.m., 4600-block of 51st Street: Report received that a door in the school was ajar. A police investigation found no sign of forced entry.

Police secured the school.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW Both sides in the teachers’ dispute are holed up now that bargaining has finally resumed, but let’s hope they’re not so ensconced they can’t recognize the public’s patience has worn thin.

As much as the two sides have entrenched differences, they must understand there’s absolutely no appetite to see this strike drag on into a new school year.

This dispute has morphed in the public arena from choosing sides to blaming both for their inability to reach a deal.

It seems that regardless of where people line up on the issue, they’re finding common ground when it comes to the need to get a contract signed. It’s hard to fathom that two sets of intelligent people can’t come to some sort of agreement after all this time, particularly given that hundreds of thousands of B.C. students are caught in the middle.

I was copied on an email one local teacher sent to BCTF president Jim Iker earlier this month as negotiations were set to resume. This is part of what she told her union president: “I understand each side has its own particular agenda which it feels must be realized. But, with all due respect, after all these months ‘at the table’ surely both sides can compromise sufficiently to ensure this contract is signed in a timely manner thereby guaranteeing school can begin on Sept. 2.”

That’s similar to comments Delta school board chair Laura Dixon made around the same time: “I don’t see how waiting and further disrupting the children for the start of their term would add any benefit whatsoever. They know their positions now and they need to be able to hammer those out.”

Many, many others have expressed like-minded sentiments so both sides must be acutely aware that prolonging this dispute is not an option. Their differences, however great they may be, simply have to be overcome in order to reach a compromise.

The issue of class size and composition, which has been complicated by the recent court ruling and appeal, will undoubtedly remain a sticking point unless the government is willing to move.

Yet if Victoria engages in negotiations on that front it would run contrary to the position taken in its appeal, which suggests it has the authority to arbitrarily impose such limits.

Something has to give and I wouldn’t be surprised if some sort of temporary measure was put in place while the court case plays out.

Whatever the case, the two sides in this dispute have got 10 days — and no more — to make a deal happen and get ready for the new school year.

September brings harvest, but will it mean back to school?

MIKE SCHNEIDER

COMMUNITY COMMENT Here they are upon us, the dog days of summer. The good news is that I haven’t had to cut the lawn for weeks now and probably won’t have to until Halloween. The long range forecast looks to be warm and dry, which is fine by me.

The forecast on the education front looks to be long and dry as well. With little time spent at the bargaining table between the two parties and the government insisting it is not going to legislate a settlement, it would appear that the Labour Day weekend could be extended indefinitely. Probably good news if you are a kid but likely a daunting situation if you are a parent.

It may be that the kids will have the full season of summer off.

From summer solstice to the fall equinox is quite the stretch.

I really enjoy the last month of summer. In September the flower

beds aren’t quite as appealing as they were in June but if you have been growing food, September usually brings in the big yields.

I like the fact that I can walk around in my backyard and snack on things without going into the kitchen. Cherry tomatoes, peas and plums can keep me going for most of the day. Foraging in the day gives me a good excuse to go big time on the Weber later on.

The fantastic weather has been good for the crops growing in the Delta School District as well.

On Wednesday “Project Pickle” harvested another 90 pounds of cucumbers and several pounds of bell peppers along with other goodies, including some softball-sized Russian red garlic.

As manager of Project Pickle, I will admit right now that I have felt obligated to test all the produce for quality assurance purposes and the answer is yum!

If you have been to Mario’s Kitchen lately, you may have had a bowl of their Gazpacho soup. The restaurant has been supplied with some of the fantastic ingredients grow on the Delta School District farms.

Each farm is different. One common vegetable is the pickling cucumber, which has been har-

vested over the past few weeks.

The vines are being replaced as we speak with seed for various greens, beets and other items.

Some farms still have spuds, others are growing corn and tomatoes. One farm has a bed dedicated to sage, Italian parsley and fantastic Thai basil. Another farm has supplied dill and coriander for the pickling process.

When the kids do eventually come back to school in the fall we will begin our “Green for Greens” program that sees the kids harvest greens, beets, various herbs and spices, and all kinds of other goodies.

They then prepare and package the produce and sell it to their parents and neighbours at parent teacher conferences. The money goes back in to the classroom to help pay for supplies and the food goes to the dinner table.

On the home front, September is a good time to peek over the fence or walk around a different neighbourhood to see what others are growing. There could be some trades in the offing. Speaking of which, anyone interested in a canoe-sized zucchini?

Second thought, I think I’ll go trendy and cut in half to use as an organic paddle board.

People have had to rally to get their voices heard and to remind council that the OCP exists. People should not have to take their time to remind our planning department and council of this.

As an earlier article in the Optimist intimated, the only constant is change.

Let’s ensure that change follows the direction of the Official Community Plan.

ing. We are told time and time again that the OCP is “a living document.”

The community has spent a lot of time on the OCP. It was a means to set, or guide, the agenda for council and our planning department. Council has spent money on this plan and seems to treat it with less respect than it deserves.

This has created some dissent and a certain amount of unhappiness.

honest debate about the wisdom of encouraging and reinforcing our differences has been stifled in the name of political correctness.

Instead, our divisive multicultural policies have led to the “self-ghettoization” of newcomers to this country, encouraging new immigrants to remain outside the lingual and social mainstream of the host country and disappearing into the self-segregated cultural cocoons of the various ethnic silos.

As long as Ottawa’s policy of multiculturalism persists, our immigration motto and message to the world might as well be summed up as follows: “Come as you are. Stay as you are. And if you don’t like who we are, we will change for you!”

Instead of providing an incentive for truly and unequivocally accepting Canada and its national customs, its cultural values, its official languages and its laws, Canada’s officially legislated multiculturalism, as a euphemism for a benign form of apartheid, has become an instrument of racial and ethnic segregation.

Coalition advisor warns fight over towers is far from over

Ulf Ottho says battle will continue in the U.S. despite ruling by CRTC Even though Sher-EPunjab had its application for an AM 600 signal rejected, the fight to stop the building of radio towers in Point Roberts is far from over, according to Ulf Ottho, a retired lawyer who has been advising the Cross Boarder Coalition to Stop the Radio Towers.

Sher-E-Punjab was one of almost a dozen applicants vying for available AM and FM frequencies, particularly AM 600, in hearings before the Canadian Radio Television Commission (CRTC) earlier this year. On Aug. 6, the CRTC, after hearing and noting submissions from opposed interveners arguing that Sher-E-Punjab broadcasts from the United States into Canada without a licence, rejected Sher-EPunjab’s application.

In addition, the CRTC called upon Sher-E-Punjab to attend a public hearing in order to determine whether

it is carrying on an undertaking in Canada without a licence, and to show cause why a mandatory order should not be issued requiring it to cease and desist operating a broadcast undertaking in Richmond.

A hearing is set for midOctober.

“The CRTC has not yet made an order under Section 12 of the Broadcasting Act to cease and desist broadcasting from the U.S.,” said Ottho.

“The CRTC, in its decision, noted that time is needed to examine the issue of broadcasting services transmitted outside Canada to serve Canadian markets.”

He said the difficulty is the CRTC cannot order that operations carried on by U.S entities exclusively in the U.S. must cease. Many radio stations operating exclusively in the United States still have their radio transmissions heard in Canada.

2014 is dominant year in sockeye cycle Returning salmon face huge challenges as they encounter warmer water and lower flow

ANNE MURRAY

BY THE BAY Once again sockeye salmon are heading through the Strait of Georgia and into the Fraser, as they make their way to spawning grounds in the upper reaches of the river. They come in waves by cohort: Early Summer, Summer and Late Run. Over 200,000 Early Stuart salmon passed the

observation station at Mission and are already on their spawning grounds in the northernmost part of the Fraser basin. The famous Adams River salmon are part of the Shuswap Late Run and spawn in the fall.

This is a dominant year of the cycle and fisheries scientists have issued a preseason run forecast of 22.9 million sockeye. The fish heading upstream today grew from spawn following the 2010 run, the largest since 1913, with over 30 million fish.

That exceptional run took everyone by surprise. The year before had seen the great salmon crash when after years of decline only 1.6 million returned. The demise of the sockeye led to the 18-month Cohen Inquiry. The resulting threevolume report made many recommendations but concluded there was no single cause for failing salmon populations.

The environment is intensely complex and the combination of effects from habitat loss, disease, fish

farms, climate change and overfishing was too difficult to disentangle. The 2010 lineage seems to be a stronger bunch, as they have generally done better than other classes.

This year’s returning salmon face huge challenges as they head upstream.

The river water is 0.7 C warmer than average for this time of year and flow is 11 per cent lower at Hope.

These differences may appear small, but salmon are very sensitive. Sockeye need an ambient tempera-

ture between 12 and 15 C to survive. They need clear, running water in shaded streams lined with gravel in which to spawn.

The tailings dam breach at Mount Polley mine, northeast of Williams Lake, washed millions of cubic metres of turbid water and sediment into tributaries of the upper Fraser, which could potentially smother sensitive gravel beds. While the water has so far tested safe for drinking, it will need to be tested for traces of copper and other miner-

als that are safe for humans but not for fish.

The salmon heading through the Fraser estuary have huge challenges. Let’s hope they make it safely.

Watch warbirds fly-in First annual event set for Delta Heritage Airpark tomorrow BY

Trevor Skillen, Delta Heritage Airpark chair, will have two of his own planes, this 1942 Boeing Stearman and a ‘41 Harvard Mark II, on display tomorrow at the airpark’s first annual Warbird Fly-in.

The Delta Heritage Airpark is the place to be tomorrow to check out vintage aircraft.

The airpark’s operating committee is organizing the first annual Warbird Fly-in.

Warplanes from all over Western Canada have been invited for the one-day event, says Delta Heritage Airpark chair Trevor Skillen.

“We’re pretty excited about the response. What we’d like to do is start small and build.”

About 20 aircraft are expected to be there, he says.

Harvards, T-6s and L-39s are among those vintage planes expected to be at the fly-in.

“It’s going to be a real mix of aircraft coming in,” says Skillen.

Visitors are encouraged to chat with aircraft owners at the event.

Skillen will have two planes on display, a 1942 Boeing Stearman and a 1941 Harvard Mark II.

He says he’ll make his biplane available for kids to sit in and there will be photo-ops as well.

There are a number of veterans coming and there will be an open mic for guest speakers. One of the speakers will be Second World War pilot Doc Payne, who will be flying in and talking about his wartime experiences. The airpark had a small biplane fly-in with about a dozen planes last year that was well attended and there were a number of requests to expand a bit, Skillen says.

The Warbird Fly-in takes place tomorrow (Saturday, Aug. 23) from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Delta Heritage Airpark.

The event is free to attend.

The airpark is located at the south end of 104th Street (4103-104th St.).

There will be hotdogs and hamburgers with proceeds going to the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley.

Visit www.deltaheritageairpark.org for more information.

Final movie night of the summer tomorrow Round up the young ones and head to the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall tomorrow for the Outdoor Movie Night finale.

The third and last date in the Business Improvement Association of Tsawwassen’s summer series features the computer animated favourite Despicable Me. The pre-movie fun starts at 6:30 p.m. with interactive booths, games, activities and food.

Jane’s Blonde, a six-piece party rock band, will perform a set starting at 7 p.m.

The band covers enduring rock classics from groups like Bon Jovi, Journey, Led Zeppelin and AC/DC. It also focuses on modern pop-rock hits and features the powerful vocal leads and harmonies of Madison Heed, Lydia Krawec and Beau Simpson.

The movie is set to start at dusk in the west side parking lot of the mall. Bring your own chairs and blankets.

The movie night will be rescheduled in the case of bad weather. Visit the BIA of Tsawwassen’s website at sunnytsawwassen.ca for last minute details.

Well on Your Way

T

here is much data and research available to us on how higher intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts can get us just as fit, in a shorter amount of time, as lower intensity and longer workouts.

HIIT workouts have been proven to: increase our human growth hormone (our anti-aging hormone), decrease our body fat, improve our blood pressure, blood sugar regulation and triglycerides, as well as improve our muscle tone and aerobic endurance.

Once you start reading on this subject, you don’t need to look too far before you come across the name Tabata.

Tabata workouts are named after Dr. Izumi Tabata, a Japanese physician and researcher. Dr. Tabata conducted a study using an interval-based workout to see if athletes would see the same gains from a shorter training program as they do with a longer duration one.

His initial study used the Japanese Olympic speed skating team as his test subjects and the workout consisted of 20 seconds of intense work, followed by 10 seconds of rest, for eight rounds on a stationary bike.

The whole workout took four minutes for the athletes to complete.

In just six weeks of training, his subjects improved their anaerobic capacity (the ability for the body to work without oxygen, which in turn promotes speed, strength and power)

by 28 per cent, and they increased their VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen the body can use, which improves endurance) by 14 per cent.

While this is a pretty cool study, it was used with elite athletes as the test subjects.

Would this type of training work for us mere mortals as well?

Last year the American Council on Exercise enlisted a research team of its own to gauge how effective a Tabata-style workout really is — with normal people.

They took a group of 16 men and women who were deemed healthy and either moderately to very fit and between the ages of 20 and 47 years.

The participants used full-body calisthenics with exercises such as pushups, mountain climbers, high knees, split squats and Russian twists, using the Tabata protocol of 20 seconds hard, 10 seconds recovery.

The researchers also brought the intensity down a bit so the participants could complete five different exercises at eight rounds each (for total workout time of 20 minutes).

The subjects’ heart rates were monitored throughout the workout, while their blood lactate levels were tested with a finger prick blood test and RPE (rating of perceived exertion) was evaluated after every fourminute segment of exercise.

Immediately following the sessions, the researchers crunched the data and on average showed that during a Tabata workout their subjects averaged 86 per cent of HR max and 74 per cent of VO2 max — both of which meet or exceed established industry guide-

lines for improving cardio fitness and promoting fat loss.

As for calorie burning, the 16 subjects burned between 240 and 360 kcals during the workout, for an average of 15 kcals per minute. Again, this meets guidelines for body fat loss.

When performing a Tabata-protocol on your own, make sure you use whole body movements and that you train at an intensity that leaves you unable to talk.

Anything less will not put you in your “anaerobic threshold” and will therefore not give you the same results.

A true Tabata is eight rounds of one exercise for 20 seconds, with 10 seconds rest in between. I quite often teach my Tabata workouts using four to six exercises, cycling through them, one after another, instead of performing eight sets of lunges and then eight sets of push-ups, etc.

Who should do a Tabatatype workout?

This is a question that many of us in the fitness industry are struggling with. Clearly this type of training is intense and is not for everyone.

There are three types of people that I feel should avoid Tabata training without the consent of their doctor: anyone with a history of heart disease, anyone with a injury and anyone just starting out with fitness.

Try a Tabata workout!

La Romana’s wondrous cave BY

RICK MILLIKAN

Optimist contributor

“Welcome to the Dominican Republic and La Romana! The mill opposite your cruise ship inspired our city’s name. We first exported sugar to Rome or Roma... so our city became La Romana,” grins tour bus guide Miguel.

“See those pleasant homes? Romana Company provides these to many of its 18,000 workers. This mill and cattle ranches once supported our city. La Romana has now blossomed into a resort area. And many, like you, go to explore our Cave of Wonders.”

Beyond the bustling city, emerald green trees, brush and fields of grass cover a rolling countryside. Within half an hour we stand in the interpretation centre of Cueva de las Marvillas — Cave of Wonders.

The path descends downward to a small, inconspicuous cave entrance. Miguel says, “A group of boy scouts discovered this cave in 1926. They were amazed! You will soon be too!”

Inside, indirect lighting enhances soaring stalactites and plunging stalagmites.

Everyone gasps at its unexpectedly airy immensity and dream-like beauty.

“Over thousands of years rainwater seeped slowly downward, creating acids carving out this 800-metre long limestone cave,” our guide says. “Look closely at its

She points out rock shapes resembling a grey bear, white lion and giant ochre hummingbird, among other animals. It’s easy to visualize those early natives sitting around campfires that bathed the walls in otherworldly shadows.

Hearing faint high-pitched squeaks and whisper of fluttering wings, we see small bats from dimly lit areas near us. Several land upside down above, clinging with oth-

ers in one of the many small cavities dotting the ceiling.

The last section of the publicly accessible 200 meters encloses over 500 petroglyphs from the early Taino settlement.

Using animal blood and charcoal, Tainos likely used their artwork to converse with the underworld spirits. These explain aspects of their culture, including their belief in reincarnation. Two stick figures represent the deaths of a chieftain and his

favourite wife. They’re shown decapitated with wispy spirits released to flow into new bodies.

Emerging from the 25-metre depths by an elevator, we proceed to the iguana sanctuary.

Once considered chicken of the trees and hunted near extinction, the iguana is now protected.

On our return, dark clouds cover the blue skies and pour new life into the already lush countryside. These torrential rains change La Romana’s city streets into rivers.

As the tropical rains subside, our bus stops at Central Park’s open-air market.

We browse among stalls of ceramics, local crafts, hand-rolled cigars, woodcarvings and vibrant paintings of Caribbean life.

Life-size statues of baseball idols line park sidewalks. Some are posed pitching and batting, others are catching and sliding into base. Many represent gifted Dominicans like Felipe Alou, Sammy Sosa and Juan Marichal. Several had played for La Romana’s Bulls.

Aboard our Carnival Freedom ship, we sip tea and chat about those honoured baseball players. Were these famed Dominican athletes merely mill workers’ sons? Or could they be reincarnated Taino warriors?

A Warm and Joyful welcome to...

Sacred Heart Catholic Church

At our best We host Vacation Bible School (VBS) for children ages four to 11 for one week each summer. In this regard we are no different from other churches that offer a similar welcome to area children and youth. We do so because I know of no better way to give children an opportunity to lead other children. Jesus modeled servant leadership, and serving as crew leaders and assistants is a way for us to follow him.

VBS is an all-ages event: elders help gather materials from egg cartons to pipe cleaners and help with registration; 30-somethings are involved in the program; 40-and 50somethings are in the kitchen and leading crafts, two hubs of creativity; teens and 20-somethings are station leaders. Our summer student served as our director. She is 19 and did a

fantastic job.

The older watch out for and help the younger. We had 25 servant leaders who learned just as much about Jesus’ love as the children did.

During the week of VBS our church is at its best — an all-ages, inclusive community celebrating God’s love in Jesus through worship, creative fun, laughter, active reflection and working together.

There is a Bible principle of “each one teach one” (2 Tim. 2:2), everyone sharing their gifts in order to edify others. I see this happening beautifully through Vacation Bible School, and I thank God for every person who served. My focus is supporting leaders; I know the kids who attend will have a blast.

Tsaw. girls come home with gold

Jensen and Meredith help B.C. team win U18 field hockey championships in Calgary Krista Jensen and Cailean Meredith have returned to Tsawwassen with gold medals from the U18 field hockey national championships in Calgary.

They were members of B.C. Blue, which went undefeated through group play, defeating PEI 100, B.C. Yellow 4-0 and Manitoba 12-0. As the top team in group play, B.C. Blue advanced directly to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, B.C. Blue defeated B.C. White 3-0 to advance to the gold medal game against Ontario. The local girls got off to a quick start in that game, with Meredith tipping in a penalty corner in the third minute of play.

The score remained tight, however, with Ontario registering the equalizer shortly before the end of the first half. The B.C. team came back in the second half, scoring two goals to capture the gold medal 3-1.

The Tsawwassen duo played important roles in both attack and defence for the champions. Jensen was a standout in goal throughout, allowing only one goal in the entire tournament.

Meredith, who scored 10 goals in the tourney, had three points in the gold medal game.

Jensen and Meredith didn’t have the chance to relax and enjoy the victory, however. After arriving home late on Aug. 10, the girls reported to the National Junior Development Squad ID

Cailean Meredith (left) and Krista Jensen captured gold at the U18 field hockey national championships in Calgary.

Camp, which ran at UBC from Aug. 12 to 17.

Jensen and Meredith have been a part of Canada’s junior development program since they both were selected to the U17 national team for a test series against the U.S. when they were 15. Since then, they have participated in a variety of training programs and ID Camps with the national squad.

Last week’s camp was the culmination of several regional identification camps aimed at identifying

a team for the 2016 Junior World Cup. Within hours of finishing the camp, Meredith was on a flight to Philadelphia to join her NCAA Division 1 team in its pre-season training. Meredith will be attending Drexel University in the fall on a combined field hockey and academic scholarship, studying environmental sciences.

Jensen has opted to stay local for the time being and will begin studies at Langara College in the fall.

She plans to study kinesi-

ology and will play field hockey in the Women’s Premier league against many senior national team players.

Jensen will also take on a role as an assistant coach for the South Delta Sun Devils field hockey team.

Jensen and Meredith were not the only locally raised gold medalists at the national championship.

B.C. Blue head coach John Sacre started his own highly successful field hockey career in Tsawwassen with Falcons Field Hockey

before joining the national team as a player and then coach.

His daughter, Lelia Sacre, acted as assistant coach for the B.C. champions and has been umpire coordinator for Falcons for the past few years.

Two other South Delta girls competed for B.C. at the nationals. Ladner’s Monika Bains had a great tournament with B.C. White, while Tsawwassen’s Sinead Swan had a similarly great run with B.C. Yellow.

Two South Delta cycling clubs make Mt. Baker ascent South Delta cycling was recently well represented at the top of Mt. Baker as two local clubs made the ascent from Abbotsford to the summit and back again.

Canadians sign 13 players for upcoming season

The Greater Vancouver Canadians have signed 13 players for the upcoming B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season, including seven returnees.

The club held its evaluation camp earlier this month, putting over 60 prospects through the paces in a tournament environment at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The league requires each team to commit to 10 players following the initial tryout process with the remainder of the roster

to be filled in the coming weeks.

Returning head coach Phil Alalouf went beyond the requirement by signing veteran forwards Owen Seidel, Ryan Wilkinson, Blake Hayward, Gary Dhaliwal, Kyle Uy and Gunner Wegleitner, along with goaltender Tyler Shugrue. The Canadians have also added Sam Atkins, Matt Kroeker, Ante Mustapic, EJ Shaw, Henry Rhyu and former Seafair standout Jordan Sandhu.

Shugrue had an outstand-

ing season in goal, posting a 2.98 goals against average. He will be attending the Vancouver Giants training camp this week.

Among the returning forwards, Seidel had a solid rookie campaign with 36 points, including 10 goals, to finish third in team scoring. He will be trying to crack the Swift Current Broncos roster.

“Of all our players going to junior camps, he probably has the best shot,” said Alalouf, who has agreed to a three-year extension

with the club after replacing longtime coach Leland Mack last season. “It’s still going to be tough for a 16year-old to make that big of jump but Owen has the skills.

“We’re very excited to have Tyler back. He was identified as one of the top 1998 goalies in the league last season and will be even better.”

Sandhu was selected by the Kelowna Rockets in the WHL Bantam Draft after an outstanding campaign with Seafair. He had plenty

of interest from Lower Mainland hockey academies should he have chosen to go that route. Instead, it was about following the route taken by his older brother Tyler, who is now enjoying an impressive major junior career with the Everett Silvertips.

“He told me this is where his brother played and his good friend (Portland Winterhawk sniper) Nic Petan. He wants to be a Canadian too,” said Alalouf.

“He had lots of interest from other programs but
