Members of Tsawwassen First Nation, Delta police and the community gathered at Deas Island Regional Park under sunny skies Wednesday afternoon to welcome Pulling Together, an epic canoe journey along the Fraser River.

The annual paddle brings together First Nations, police

and law enforcement, and public service agencies to break down the stereotypes and build better relationships between the communities, said Linda Blake, vicepresident of the Pulling Together Society and an inspector with the RCMP. Blake has been with Pulling Together since it started in 2001.

The Delta Police Department has also been involved with the

initiative since the beginning and this year saw constables Mike Grandia, Lindsay Hallman and Vince Neudork, dispatcher Karen Irwin and reserve constable Brandon Calnan take part.

This year’s journey included 500 participants in total and on Wednesday close to 20 canoes pulled into Deas Island. Members of Tsawwassen First Nation sang and drummed as the canoes pad-

dled in just after lunch. In turn, each canoe asked permission to enter TFN territory and was welcomed before coming ashore.

This year’s journey has been disrupted by winds, smoke and heat and paddlers had to pull together to get to each destination, Blake said.

The journey began on Harrison Lake on July 2 and wraps up in Crescent Beach today.

It should be no surprise to anyone if Roberts Bank is the contingency should Kinder Morgan’s controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion plan to Burnaby fails.

That’s the warning from author and Simon Fraser University political science professor Patrick Smith, who has been closely following the contentious Kinder Morgan application.

Smith said it could all come down to finding a new route “that has the least resistance” to the pipeline twinning.

“It’s not too soon to alert people that if it’s not on your radar, you might want to think about if it,” Smith said.

Kinder Morgan’s plan to expand the current 1,150kilometre pipeline between Alberta and the Westridge facility in Burnaby has faced stiff opposition from activists, including outspoken actress Jane Fonda, as well as the cities of Burnaby and Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver.

If approved by the National Energy Board, the expansion would result in a twinned pipeline that would increase the nominal capacity of bitumen in the system

FILE PHOTO

Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline to bring more Alberta bitumen to its Westridge facility in Burnaby. from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000 barrels per day, while also increasing the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet seven-fold.

The plan remains focused solely on the existing route, according to a company official last fall, who noted Roberts Bank has not even been listed as a contingency in the application.

However, Smith noted the dynamic when it comes to proposing oil pipelines is a difficult one for applicants, with the Northern Gateway project facing major hurdles due to First Nations’ objections.

“If I had to place a bet on whether we’re going to get one or the other of the two pipelines, the one we’re

going to get most likely is Kinder Morgan. Problem is, we not only have the mayor of Burnaby threatening to get arrested, but we have the mayor of Vancouver and potentially others along the North Shore lining up against Kinder Morgan.”

According to a recent UBC study commissioned by the City of Vancouver, a major oil spill in Burrard Inlet would devastate Vancouver’s marine and shore-based economy, resulting in losses amounting to $1.2 billion. That type of fear could further add to the argument against increased shipping in the area.

“To go from five to about 35 ships a day, it’s not the

pipeline that’s the danger as much as the shipping,” said Smith. “None of that would be any comfort to Delta.”

Roger Emsley with Against Port Expansion said his group has been concerned for a while that the proposed man-made island for the Terminal 2 container facility at Roberts Bank could be converted to an oil storage/shipping terminal.

Emsley said the potential terminal operators, as well as those that would need to finance it, might want to re-purpose the island if the port authority’s questionable container forecasts don’t live up to expectations.

“In addition, of course, there are those recently named special study areas

either side of the Deltaport causeway that used to be labeled as conservation until PMV ignored their environmental importance and this adds further fuel to their lust for massive industrialization of the whole of Roberts Bank,” Emsley said.

He added that as far as an oil pipeline being routed to Roberts Bank, it would face just as many hurdles.

“It is likely to attract increased opposition from First Nations. The Alberta government might just as well look to shipping its oil east for refining in Canada, rather than Northern Gateway, Keystone XL or Kinder Morgan.”

New Alberta NDP premier Rachel Notley stated she supports pipelines to get the province’s energy resources to market, but only where there is a realistic chance of them being built. She wasn’t as keen on the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline but expressed interest in the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s line.

During the public comment period, a group calling itself Concerned Professional Engineers (CPE) filed its opinion with the NEB that Roberts Bank is better suited as a shipping point for Alberta diluted bitumen than Burnaby.

Oil terminal talk is nothing new in Delta

Discussion of bringing Alberta crude by pipeline to local shores dates back four decades BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

There was a time when Roberts Bank was being eyed as a potential oil hub.

In the mid-1970s, all the talk in South Delta was about a proposal to possibly build a $350-million oil refinery at Roberts Bank.

Then-premier Dave Barrett said in 1975 several sites for a new refinery were being considered “but no decision will be made until all environmental, social and economic factors have been considered.”

The much talked about refinery, which would have had a capacity of about 100,000 barrels per day, would have received its supply of crude from Alberta through the existing TransMountain pipeline.

The previous fall the B.C. Petroleum Corporation had carried out studies at

Roberts Bank, however thenprovincial industrial development minister Gary Lauk said, “As long as the NDP is in government, there will be no oil refinery at Roberts Bank.”

That was good news INTERNET IMAGE for then-Delta An oil refinery was proposed for Roberts Bank in the mid-1970s. mayor Tom Goode, who future of Roberts Bank, red flags. would offer assurances that although oil was not part of Municipal CAO George no oil refinery would be that discussion and develop- Harvie and Mayor Lois built on the Fraser River, so ment of a major port was Jackson were part of a that included Roberts Bank. something considered in the delegation that went on a At the time, Roberts distant future.

a bulk liquid handling facility at Roberts Bank.

“The port has stated that they do not have any plan for transporting liquid bulk products at Deltaport at this time. It always worries me when they say ‘at this time,’” Harvie told Delta council after the trip.

He noted that when the federal government approved the Deltaport expansion in 1980, that approval was subject to several conditions, including no bulk liquids being shipped from Roberts Bank.

That condition was written into the National Harbours Board regulations specific to Roberts Bank, however, the harbours board was disbanded in 1983, replaced with port authorities.

A port official in an interview said developing a LNG or oil facility at Roberts Bank isn’t on the port authority’s radar.

Riders training to tackle 900-kilometre journey Cops for Cancer participants will be on stationary bike at tomorrow’s Tour de Delta race in Ladner Village DAVE WILLIS

A pair of Cops for Cancer riders will be fundraising at the Tour de Delta Brenco Criterium in Ladner Village tomorrow.

Riders Jitka CremaVanickova, a civilian member of the Vancouver Police Department, and Ladner’s Mark Bouchey, who’s with the VPD’s traffic division, will be set up on a stationary trainer in front of Swim Blue Pools and Hot Tubs on Chisholm Street from 3 p.m. until the end of the men’s race. They will be getting in some training time, answering questions and promoting their ride.

Crema-Vanickova’s daughter was diagnosed with cancer at seven months.

“The initial shock doesn’t allow you to think much,” she said.

But Julia, after a threeyear battle, has been cancerfree for five years now.

“If you knew her, you would know that she’s not just 100 per cent. She’s 200 per cent and she’s very intense and very excited all the time,” said CremaVanickova, a Burnaby resident.

“If you knew her, you would know that she’s not just 100 per cent. She’s 200 per cent and she’s very intense and very excited all the time,” Jitka CremaVanickova

Bouchey’s wife Julie, who was diagnosed with cancer eight years ago, is also now living cancer-free.

They will be doing a raffle with prizes including a painting of poppies donated by local artist Linda Jones.

In addition to the raffle, Bouchey’s daughter Riley will have an iced tea and

homemade cookie stand set up to raise money for her dad’s ride.

The Tour de Coast team will pedal 900 kilometres in over a week through the Sea to Sky corridor as well as the Sunshine Coast, North Shore and cities in Greater Vancouver from Maple Ridge to Richmond.

The event website notes donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society through Cops for Cancer are used to fund life-saving research and caring support programs.

Bouchey has raised in excess of $6,300 and Crema-Vanickova has raised just under $4,000 to date, putting them among the top fundraisers on the Tour de Coast team.

An air quality advisory due to elevated levels of ground-level ozone is also now in place for the Fraser Valley.

Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone strenuous activities until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce exposure to air contaminants. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes and lung or heart disease.

This advisory is expected to continue until there is a change in the current weather.

The province said this project is the first of at least two new truck parking facilities planned for the Lower Mainland in B.C. on the Move, the government’s 10-year transportation plan.

Evaluations are currently underway to find a location for a second facility in the region.

Commercial truckers traveling through the region will soon have a new designated overnight parking facility in Delta.

The province this week announced plans to construct a truck parking area on Nordel Way at Highway 91 across from the Nordel commercial vehicle inspection facility.

“Operating a commercial vehicle is demanding work, and truck drivers need safe, convenient places to park overnight,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

“The addition of new truck parking facilities in the Lower Mainland is just one of a number of commitments our government has made in B.C. on the Move to address efficiency and safety improvements for the trucking industry.”

Site preparation is planned to begin this fall and construction will start next spring with completion

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW They only asked one question, but it seems like they got a whole bunch of answers.

Last week’s announcement that the transit plebiscite had been soundly rejected by Lower Mainland voters didn’t come as much of a surprise given the level of unrest during the two-and-a-halfmonth voting period. The result, which came more than a month after the last ballot was returned, was little more than a formality in an exercise that went off the rails early on.

If voters had been asked if Greater Vancouver is in need of a better transit system, it would have been an overwhelmingly positive result. That’s obviously too simple a query, so instead they were asked whether they were willing to pay an extra half point in provincial sales tax to help fund $7.5 billion in proposed transit and transportation improvements.

Sixty-two per cent across the region said they weren’t, including 68 per cent in Delta.

Given there’s widespread recognition that Greater Vancouver’s transit system is in need of a boost, why did so many voters oppose the initiative? Was it because they simply don’t want to pay more taxes? Perhaps they loathe the idea of handing more money over to TransLink?

Maybe they thought their community wasn’t getting much in the deal or that they don’t regularly use transit so weren’t keen on coughing up more to fund the system?

In the wake of the plebiscite’s defeat there’s been talk of devising a Plan B so that long overdue transit improvements don’t continue to sit on the shelf. That makes sense, but it’s imperative the powers that be figure out the underlying reasons behind the failure before they move ahead.

It’s clear that what the region’s mayors agreed upon, both in terms of proposed transit improvements and funding sources, didn’t resonate with voters, so it’s crucial they get a better handle on what would ultimately sell. After such a public rebuke, they can’t very well turn around and impose the same plan, which means determining what must change in order to move forward.

There have been rumblings of swapping the proposed sales tax increase for a property tax hike, but given the already exorbitant cost of home ownership in the Lower Mainland, it’s difficult to see that one getting off the ground.

The bottom line is we need better transit in Greater Vancouver, so we must find the best way to provide and finance those improvements. All we know at this point is the current plan requires modifications.

Public figures join residents in showing their Canadian pride DOUG HUSBAND

COMMUNITY COMMENT It was a day for patriotic thoughts for all Canadians at national and local celebrations.

Delta’s civic pride was kickstarted on Canada Day in front of the old municipal hall in Ladner Village. Now in use as a historical presentation centre and museum, the event was aptly hosted by the Delta Museum and Archives Society.

Kudos to president Barbara Baydala and society staff for a well-organized event. Formalities included comments from our elected representatives from three levels of government. MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, MLA Vicki Huntington and Mayor Lois Jackson are to be complimented for their dedication and social commitment in attending four local celebrations, culminating with fireworks at Chalmers Park in North Delta.

Not to be overlooked is the Lions Club in providing pancake breakfast and refreshments. Good

to see so many locals in Ladner Village and at Kirkland House decked out in red and white while enjoying music and activities made possible by various volunteers.

It was a pleasure to be introduced to new police Chief Neil Dubord. Installed last week, Dubord was resplendent in dress uniform while socializing with Delta citizens. The new chief has big shoes to fill, left by Jim Cessford, and appears up to the task judging by his body of police work, education and leadership skills.

Good to see him out in public and on foot. We should be so fortunate to see more of his patrol officers emulating our new chief as part of their community policing mandate.

I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize Coun. Ian Paton at the Ladner ceremony and I’m sure most or all of our councillors attended one or all four celebrations.

While at Kirkland House, it was interesting to note how enthusiastic folks are and entertained by old photographs, a heritage barn and house. Examples of our earliest settlement and our occasional glimpse into our past are thanks to the Corporation of Delta in partnership with many volunteers. This site is now a popular jewel of activity for

public enjoyment.

There are two prestigious Ladner farm homes preserved through council’s intervention, the Kirkland and Burr homes. These architecturally superior heritage homes currently have a very different use and community profile.

The Burr home, located in Deas Island Regional Park, is now lodging for the park’s caretaker and excluded from public access. The Burr home was moved to Deas Island due in part to the construction of 62B Street and its derelict condition.

GVRD Parks agreed to restore the heritage home along with a Paterson Park barn and the Inverholme school, which are all representatives of Ladner’s early history. I have asked Coun.

Jeannie Kanakos, chair of the Delta Heritage Advisory Commission, to review this historical structure’s use.

Seems to me there should be some public access to a building restored by public funds in an attractive and popular public setting on historically Delta lands now designated a regional park.

And speaking of councillors, in future columns I plan to profile them from time to time on a more personal level.

And a good night to you, Barbara.

Dangerous lane configuration

Editor: A tragedy is waiting to happen on Highway 17A. The problem occurs heading northbound where the road widens approaching Ladner Trunk Road.

The two left-most lanes, the left turn bay and the start of the HOV lane, are separated from the other lanes by a solid white line.

Some motorists confuse the lane markings to mean

there is a double left-turn bay, from which two problems arise.

First, a motorist mistakenly turning left from the HOV lane cuts off the vehicle making a legitimate left turn, which could lead to a minor accident.

Far more dangerous is a motorist mistaking the HOV lane for a left turn bay not proceeding when the through light turns green.

I’ve witnessed several near misses when approaching vehicles, some traveling 80 km/h or more, have to brake sharply or swerve into adjacent lanes upon the driver’s realization the car ahead of them in the HOV lane is not moving.

The lane markings and signage need to be upgraded soon, before something bad happens.

Band together to review project impacts

Editor: Re: Adding up to be big impact, Murphy’s Law, July 1 Your column regarding the cumulative effects of the major projects proposed within the lower Fraser River estuary, which includes Delta, Richmond, New Westminster, South Surrey and Vancouver, is

commendable.

All of these communities should band together in a regional capacity as they did when the public health authorities requested a comprehensive health impact assessment be undertaken before the Fraser Surrey Docks coal facility could be built.

They should demand an

overall review be done on the effects all the major proposed projects within the lower Fraser estuary could have on the health of the people and the environment.

This should be a subject for consideration for anyone seeking office in the upcoming federal election.

Senior finds riding transit is cheaper in Toronto Editor: I was recently in Toronto visiting my sister in the hospital. I am a senior and the fare was $2. The transfer was good all day/eve-

ning and there are no zones.

I find it amazing the fare here for seniors is $1.75 for one zone and $2.75 for two zones and the transfers have an expiry time of 90

minutes. It sure makes one wonder if a big city like Toronto can have a better system, what’s wrong with TransLink?

Delta putting its firefighters in a precarious situation Editor: Re: Simple geography puts Delta firefighters at scene quicker, Community Comment, June 24 Tom Siba needs to look into the facts of this issue more.

The problem isn’t so much the Delta Fire Department is able to do more (none of the new skills are life saving), but it is how the department is going about doing it.

Currently the department is acting in violation of

Section 5 of the Emergency Health Act. Thus any of its firefighters doing skills beyond those under their FR3 license are practicing illegally. This then puts them in conflict with the code of ethics.

Basically, Delta’s mayor is requiring her firefighters to perform illegal and unethical actions because she does not want to go through the proper channels.

This is opening the fire department, its members

and the Corporation of Delta to legal action should the actions of one of the first responders cause harm or death to a patient.

It is also putting the first responders in a situation where their duty under the law and code of ethics conflicts with their employer’s wishes and could result in disciplinary action.

The whole situation could be relieved by the mayor just following proper procedure.

it could have ended in a police incident if I did not ignore the bylaw officers.

I know it’s a tough job, but this is not how to deal with calls regarding dogs in cars on hot days.

There are no standards on the heat or water to be given. I had two windows and a skylight open, water on the floor and it was 10:30 a.m. What are Delta’s objective standards?

I am frustrated with how civic staff members treat the citizenry. This approach

will lead to civil court.

Delta needs to hire people that can “talk” and explain the situation, not blame me or themselves for the six dogs that died in a hot truck.

We all love dogs. I know when it is too hot for my dog.

I have appealed my $175 fine and have a date in September to explain my side to an arbitrator. Is this what Delta calls community engagement?

Freedom’s not free paid for all this — and it is important, especially at this time of year — to remember that.

It is also good for us to remember that our spiritual freedom isn’t free.

Someone paid for it. Seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah prophesied: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5-6, NIV) Freedom’s not free. Someone paid for it. Someone who loves us very much.

Mike invites dialogue at mike@ ladnerbaptist.ca.

I’m writing this article between Canada Day and Independence Day. It is easy to get caught up in the relaxation and festivities and not take time to reflect on how blessed we are in this part of the world.

We enjoy a level of freedom and affluence that is largely unparalleled in history. There are everyday things we take for granted — running water, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, transportation, good clothes and ample food — that would have seemed extravagant to all but the super-rich in most periods of history.

And we enjoy an enviable level of security and freedom.

But freedom is never free.

Someone paid for it. Thousands gave their lives so that we could be free.

Thousands sacrificed deeply so we could enjoy such plenty. Someone

Celebrating KinVillage

Seniors’ facility marking anniversary with mortgage burning BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

KinVillage will celebrate its 35th anniversary tomorrow.

The special event at the KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen will include entertainment, food and a ceremony complete with a mortgage burning. The mortgage, worth $2.7 million, was paid off earlier this month.

KinVillage provides a range of housing options, a day program for older adults and, through the community centre, a variety of programs.

“I think a big part of what we do is we provide a place for people to be part of something.

So it’s a community within a community,” says KinVillage CEO Donna Ellis.

A ceremony, emceed by KinVillage board chair Kerry Bentley, takes place at 2 p.m.

Afterwards there will be ice cream floats served from roving carts, “make your own sundaes” served inside and a celebratory cake served in a tent outside.

Musical entertainment will include the Squares Barbershop

Quartet and Rhythm Rush Jazz Band. Rodd Boss will perform magic while George and Wendy Pytlik, dance teachers at KinVillage, will put on a demonstration.

There will also be children’s activities and a photo booth.

A grand raffle draw takes place at 3:30 p.m. Tickets ($5 each of five for $20) will be sold during the event.

Prizes include an Okanagan getaway, tickets to a B.C. Lions game and a two-night stay for two in Victoria. Proceeds from the raffle go towards buying a new bus.

Ellis explains KinVillage has a range of housing options that provide support for people depending on what their needs are. Some live independently, some are part of a seniors supportive housing program, some are in an assisted living program and there is also long-term residential care.

There is also a day program for older adults living in the community, says Ellis, adding it provides health-related services as well as recreation opportunities.

A range of programs, like fitness, card games, arts, dance, snooker and more, are offered

Stand owner issues challenge PHOTO BY GORD GOBLE

Myrtle’s Famous Hot Dogs stand owner John Meier is marking what would have been his grandmother’s 100th birthday with a hot sauce challenge tomorrow.

He named his hot dog stand, which opened in 2011, after his grandmother.

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

John Meier has planned a special event tomorrow to mark what would have been his grandmother’s 100th birthday.

He’ll be giving away 100 hotdogs and hosting a hot sauce challenge at his Myrtle’s Famous Hot Dogs stand at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

“We’re going to have a lot of fun,” says Meier, who named his business after his late grandmother. “It should be a really exciting day.”

The hot sauce challenge takes place at 1 p.m.

“I’m bringing in three of the hottest hot sauces,” he says, noting one of them will be the Georgia Reaper, which Meier notes has made it into Guinness World Records.

He explains there are no prizes for the hot sauce challenge but “it’s just for the fun of trying it out.”

He says participants will have to sign a waiver and anyone under 19 has to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

“I want to stress to people, this is really hot stuff.”

The event goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Meier, who focuses on the traditional classic hotdogs and uses Nathan’s all-beef dogs, started Myrtle’s in 2011 and has developed “a bit of a cult following.”

There is growing concern across North America about the lack of childhood activity leading to childhood obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes.

The Playbox has been developed as part of the LIVE 5-2-1-0 initiative that provides simple advice for families on how to lead a healthy lifestyle. LIVE 5-2-1-0 is four easy messages for daily eating and activity habits that children and their families can put into practice: • Enjoy 5 fruits and vegetables; • No more than 2 hours of out of school screen time outside of school work; • At least 1 hour of physical activity; and • 0 sugar sweetened drinks.

The Delta Gymnastics Society Playbox will provide equipment and game ideas for parents and children to use outside of the Delta Gymnastics facility during its hours of operation.

Delta Gymnastics Society and the Delta Child and Youth Committee encourage other groups to consider providing Playboxes in their neighbourhoods.

If interested in developing a Playbox, contact Carlene Lewall of Delta Gymnastics Society at 604-943-0460 or clewall@deltagymnastics.com.

Find your inner Carib in Grenada BY

JANE CASSIE

Optimist contributor

H

is pearly white smile contrasts with his ebony-rich skin. He saunters barefoot, showing no urgency about getting anywhere (or at any time), and the slogan on his T-shirt depicts him to a tee.

Although the catchphrase, “There’s a little Carib in all of us,” is advertising the island’s local beer, by the end of our Grenada visit, it signifies a much deeper meaning.

Grenada is one of the three Windward Islands located in the Eastern Caribbean, and at only 440 square kilometres (133 square miles), is one of the smallest independent nations in the Western Hemisphere.

Lush rainforests drape the volcanic core of this tropical oasis and skinny roads weave over its terrain. During this week of island touring we jostle over crater-sized potholes and swerve around brown-eyed cows and tethered goats that

languidly graze along the roadside.

Jerry-built stilted homes cling to one another and teeter like tipsy sailors.

Their occupants lounge about on sun-baked verandahs, just waiting for people and time to pass.

“There’s no rush, Mon,” our driver says, with a toothy grin. “It’s always island time on Grenada.”

While cruising the verdant landscape, fragrant spice plants and tropical blossoms border our path.

Towering mahogany and giant gommiers hug up to fruit trees that bear mangoes, nutmeg, sea grapes and breadfruit. Prickly pineapples cavort with 16 breeds of bananas, stands of bamboo shoot above broadleafed callaloos and clumps of coconuts are shaded by billowy palms.

It comes as no surprise this Caribbean dreamscape has been dubbed the Isle of Spice, and we discover that it’s second to Indonesia for the global export of nutmeg. History unites with the bountiful harvest at

Dougaldston Spice Boucan where we get a glimpse of the traditional preparation of cocoa.

After fermenting for six days in a sweat house, the beans are splayed on sunbaked trays and, with the help of shuffling feet, are rotated every hour until they are dried to perfection.

“The process may seem primitive,” our guide explains as we witness a young Grenadian woman go to work, “but it’s been done this way for centuries and it still works today.”

After the shells are peeled, the cocoa is molded into balls and when mixed with boiling water and sugar, they transform into a yummy hot drink.

Others may prefer to spike the concoction with a shot of over-proof rum which, on Grenada, is never too far away. As well as a number of modern-day processing plants, we check out the River Antoine Rum Distillery where they’ve been brewing the conventional way since 1785.

powers the mill that crushes sugar cane and extracts the precious juice. It’s then channeled through to the boiling house, to the distillery and bottled at a potent 75 per cent proof.

Although it’s difficult to imagine any strife in this peace-loving nation, it was not always a pretty picture.

Like most West Indian islands, there had been an ongoing battle between the native Arawaks and Caribs, then by Caribs and French, and finally in 1795 by French and British.

Nearly two centuries later, upheaval fell on Grenada’s shores, once again, when the U.S.

troops invaded in 1983 to successfully overthrow a Marxist government. Today, Grenada is an independent democratic nation, a member of the British Commonwealth and is as peaceful as it is picturesque.

Eggshells, coffee grounds, tea bags good for garden

PLATINUM SPONSORS Doug Boychuk Steve Knoblauch Dave Hamilton

Beneficial elements in all three are released slowly anne marrison

Green Room This week I answer readers’ questions: Q. I was wondering what tea bags, coffee grounds and eggshells do for plants and could you apply them to any type of plant or only specific plants?

A. All three are generally good for the garden. The beneficial elements in them are slow-release and present in relatively small quantities. So you don’t have to keep any of them away from any specific plants.

Allowing them to break down in the compost is one good way of using them.

Another is blending them into the soil around various plants, but not concentrating any one kind in one particular spot.

The tea in tea bags contains nitrogen. So do coffee grounds. The coffee grounds also have trace amounts of phosphorous and potassium.

Eggshells provide calcium to the plants they are placed near. Calcium is especially valuable for tomatoes.

The only snag with eggshells is that most people just crush them (potato mashers work well), but in the ground crushed egg-

shells take ages to break down.

Ground-up eggshells release calcium much faster.

An old blender might do this job.

Q. I am planning to make a small bed and plant two lilies and a banana plant there. All are fairly small.

Could I layer the top layer of soil with wood chips or something to give it life?

Also, what type of flowers would go well with lilies and the banana plant?

A. To give your soil some life, Sea Soil or compost spread over the bed would help the fertility immensely.

If you don’t have your own compost, garden centres sell bags of commercial compost. A bag of one or the other would be sufficient.

On top of whatever nourishment you choose, bark mulch suppresses weeds very well. When seeds finally blow in on the wind and weeds do start, they’re very easy to pull out of bark mulch.

My top choice for planting under your banana tree would be sempervivums.

Their leaves are rosettes in various patterns and shades: reddish, blue-grey, green with red tips, etc.

These plants form a carpet so dense weeds seldom germinate.

In summer some of the older rosettes produce thick stems with flowers. After flowering, the old rosettes die, but new rosettes quick-

ly fill in. Sempervivums are extremely drought-resistant.

Cranesbills are another possibility. My top choice would be the deep purpleblue flowered Rosanne.

This stays blooming for a very long period. It’s dwarf and spreads into a wide, low mound.

A pretty, mat-forming annual, which is also a great bee plant, is Sweet Alyssum.

This is available in mauve or white forms.

They’re covered with flowers all summer and are very sweet smelling. They die in winter, but re-seed themselves abundantly in spring.

If you prefer taller plants, you might like the perennial Oriental poppies that produce huge, spectacular flowers in red, orange, white or pink in late May. These seed themselves around if you leave the seed capsules on the plants.

If you prefer spring flowers, the perennial Hellebore orientalis flowers give pleasure for many months. Buds pop up in late January, followed by cup-shaped, long-lasting flowers, then interesting spiky seedheads.

The hellebore leaves are evergreen all year until late winter when they should be cut back to make way for next year’s growth and flowers.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the Hair cells in the ear move very background.

rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, Connect Hearing is currently looking they can no longer properly amplify to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want speech and dampen loud noises. quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a

Ken Hanson, a 33-year-old sprinter from San Diego, is pictured here winning the Brenco Criterium in Ladner Village in 2013.

Riders to watch this weekend Competitors poised to race in three Tour de Delta events to kick off B.C. Superweek

The fastest week in Canadian cycling kicks off tonight with the Tour de Delta’s MK Delta Lands Criterium, the first of eight races over nine days in B.C. Superweek.

With $120,000 in prize money on the line, top Canadian cyclists and professional American teams are registered to participate in the series, which also includes tomorrow night’s Brenco Criterium in Ladner Village and Sunday’s White Spot | Delta Road Race in Tsawwassen.

The 27-year-old made it onto the podium three times at B.C. Superweek last year, including second place finishes at the Tour de Delta Brenco Criterium, White Spot | Delta Road Race and the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix.

Ken Hanson UnitedHealthcare After three podium appearances at B.C. Superweek last year, Hanson looks for another solid showing in 2015. The 33-year-old sprinter from San Diego had nine first place finishes and landed on the podium in 16 races on three continents in 2014.

He’s a two-time winner of the Global Relay Gastown

Grand Prix.

Florenz Knauer - H&R Block Pro Cycling In 2014, he was anointed the title of “Mr. Tour de White Rock” by the race announcers because of his regular appearances on the podium, but in reality Knauer has boasted great success at B.C. Superweek for three years. The 26year-old had six top 10 finishes last year alone and made five podium appearances in 2013.

Gulliaume Boivin Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies Boivin, 26, is coming off an impressive Canadian National Championship last month, where he won his first Canadian Road Race title. The Montreal product is a two-time winner of the Tour de Quebec, once as an amateur in 2008 and once

after turning pro in 2010.

Women’s Field Leah Kirchmann - Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies Kirchmann, a marquee rider at B.C. Superweek, was third at the inaugural edition of La Course by Le Tour de France last July.

The 25-year-old had six top five finishes at B.C. Superweek in 2014 with wins in the Tour de Delta Brenco Criterium, White Spot | Delta Road Race and Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix.

Shelley Olds - Ale Cipollini Team Olds is one of the highest ranked road cyclists in the world. The Massachusetts native finished sixth at the 2014 UCI World Championships in Spain and is a two-time U.S. National Criterium champion.

Elle Anderson - BMW p/b Happy Tooth Dental Anderson finished second in January at USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships.

The 27-year-old Dartmouth grad was on the podium at B.C. Superweek four times in 2013.

Alison Jackson TWENTY16 presented by Sho-Air Jackson is coming off a win in the women’s criterium at the Canadian Road National Championships just over a week ago.

A multi-sport athlete, Jackson finished second in the 2014 ITU World Triathlon Age Group Sprint Championship. She helped the Trinity Western University women’s cross country team to a second straight Canada West championship.

Large and competitive rowing regatta held in Washington

The Delta Deas Rowing Club Masters had a great showing at the recent NorthWest Regional Championships in Vancouver, Washington.

The U.S. rowing regatta is the largest and most com-

petitive event in the Pacific Northwest, attracting rowers and clubs from throughout the West Coast.

Delta Deas won 11 medals, including four gold, six silver and a bronze.

Given that many of the

clubs at this regatta were very large and well-funded American clubs, Delta’s showing was no small feat.

Delta Deas is now looking forward to Cascadia, which is a large, local regatta at Burnaby Lake.
