The Tsawwassen Sun Festival promises a long weekend full of fun in the sun.

The 43rd edition of the annual summertime celebration kicks off tomorrow and runs through to the holiday Monday.

Winskill Park will play host to a variety of activities, including live entertainment, midway, car show, ball tournaments, pancake breakfast and much more.

Sun Fest will also feature Sunny Sam’s Treasure Hunt, the T-Town Incredible Race for teens, rides for kids, a skateboard competition and an antique fair.

The highlight of the weekend, the Rotary Parade, rolls down 56th Street Monday at 11 a.m.

A planned fireworks display for Sunday night will not take place due to the open burning ban.

Federal funding on four fronts

MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay makes several announcements, including $500,000 to rehabilitate museum building BY

In another sign that a federal election is just around the corner, Delta-Richmond East MP KerryLynne Findlay made several big funding announcements in Delta yesterday.

The minister of national revenue was joined by Mayor Lois Jackson and others at the Delta

Museum in Ladner Village to announce $500,000 to help rehabilitate the historic structure. The funding comes from the federal government’s Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.

Delta had already set aside funding and sought federal grants for a major renovation of the century-old building, which has long been deemed

AUGUST SPECIAL Offer expires August 31, 2015

unsuitable for the museum’s needs.

The total project is $2.5 million, so the federal grant lowers Delta’s cost to $2 million.

“Cultural instiKerry-Lynne tutions that aim Findlay to promote the distinct history of a time, space or people are pil-

lars to a successful and continually improving community,” said Findlay in announcing the federal contribution.

“The rehabilitations to the (former) Delta Municipal Hall will ensure that this important part of history is preserved for generations to come while helping to celebrate the 150th anniversary of confederation.”

Jackson was elated about the

federal money to fund the major renovation, after which the building will likely be converted to other community uses.

“Investing in the monuments of our past helps us move forward in our changing world with the comfort of knowing that these monuments will stand tall for generations to come,” the mayor said.

Parts of Ladner and Tsawwassen could end up undergoing major transformations as a result of the mega malls opening next year at the Tsawwassen First Nation.

One of the major themes in the South Delta Business Sustainability Strategy includes the municipality allowing redevelopment to increase density. Some of the key recommendations include creating design guidelines for developer certainty as well as increased density, particularly in the waterfront precinct.

For Tsawwassen, some of the key recommendations include increased density through mixed-use development as well as a condensed commercial area.

It’s not clear how allowing such development aimed at even higher densities will mesh with current area plans or how residents will respond.

According to the consultant retained by Delta, in Ladner Village, for instance, new building heights are restricted to fewer than three storeys, which is unlikely to provide sufficient economic incentive to trigger redevelopment.

In the Tsawwassen town centre, meanwhile, the current limit on the amount of multi-family units presents a barrier to creating a more vibrant mixed-use retail core, as it limits the number of potential local business patrons.

“We would also argue that allowing for some high-rise developments in the Tsawwassen town centre can have multiple benefits, both increasing the number of residents in and around

the town core, and providing visible landmarks for passing motorists on Highway 17, indicating that there is something worth seeing if they head south on 56th. Tall buildings can be a very effective wayfinding tool,” the consultant’s report states.

At a Delta council meeting earlier this month, Coun. Ian Paton noted Delta’s hands are now tied because Ladner and Tsawwassen have so many outdated buildings. He said Delta has to work with property owners to encourage redevelopment that would see retail below with residential above.

“You see this in some places like Sun Peaks where you have retail in the bottom and you have residen-

Findlay also announced an investment of $364,636 for the Boys and Girls Club of South Coast B.C. so it can continue to deliver the BGC On-Track Program, equipping Delta youth with the skills and experience necessary to overcome barriers to employment and develop a broad range of skills and knowledge. She said the government is helping Canadians get the skills and training they need to find good jobs and build better futures for themselves and their families.

A Walmart Supercentre is among more than 300 stores set to open in a pair of malls at the Tsawwassen First Nation next year. A consultant’s report says redevelopment of the commercial districts in Tsawwassen and Ladner is required to keep them viable.

As well, the first-term MP announced yesterday a combined investment of $48,451 for Bird Studies Canada and an investment of $40,000 for the Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust under the Habitat Stewardship Program for Species at Risk.

On Wednesday, Ottawa announced $6 million for a truck staging area near the Deltaport container terminal.

Home to the museum since 1969, the Delta Street building had previously

tial, two or three floors, or maybe even four floors, up above,” Paton said.

Noting Ladner Village, in particular, should be made more vibrant to mirror Steveston, Paton said the policies approved last year to encourage redevelopment at the waterfront and incentives has Delta still waiting for the developers.

Meantime, a major redevelopment is already being planned for the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

Saying changes are long overdue for the primarily asphalt covered site, Century Group president Sean Hodgins has a new “green vision” that would increase the building site coverage from 27 per cent to over 50 per cent. The idea is to change the 10-

acre site from suburban mall to mixed-use neighbourhood.

Around five new buildings would be added, including several four- to six-storey structures that have retail at ground level and condos above, as well as a 12- to 20-storey concrete residential tower. In total, about 500 new condos are proposed.

The site would also be linked with a series of pathways and gathering plazas, a park and central fountain.

Hodgins told the Optimist there’s no doubt higher density is needed to provide enough incentive for redevelopment, as well as increasing the customer base for local shops and services.

“What else is there,

served as Delta’s municipal hall. No longer referring to it as the museum building seems a clear indication that when the renovations are done, the museum won’t be coming back.

What’s still not clear, however, is where the museum will end up.

Members of the Delta Museum and Archives Society made a presentation to Delta’s heritage committee several weeks ago indicating their desire for a new, permanent home, noting they will need to vacate the building anyway for the renovations and would rather not come back.

The federal government has contributed $500,000 to a planned $2.5-million refurbishment of the century-old building that currently houses the Delta Museum.

throwing banners up on light posts? Basically what it comes down to is you need a lot of people living in the town centre, such that it isn’t contingent on having to drive two tonnes worth of steel to go spend $20 at a store. You need thousands of people living in reasonably close proximity to a town centre to make it an economically viable town centre,” he said.

Hodgins was planning to submit an application for the first phase of the redevelopment last month, but he’s now looking at possible modifications to the plan.

Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons, which are scheduled to open next year, will offer a combined 1.75 million square feet of retail space.

Domestic Short Hair, Black and White, Neutered Male Adult, (Approximately 8 years old).

This big, handsome man is Sesame! He came to the shelter with two other cats, Cupcake and Cookie. He is a shy boy to start with but the more time you spend with him the more comfortable he gets. Once he has decided that you aren’t so bad he just can’t help himself, he starts purring and rubbing against you. Sesame will probably do well in a quieter home as he is shy to begin with. As he has lived with other cats before he may do well as a second cat. Sesame is currently on a diet and will be getting a dental before he goes to his new home. Do you have room for this sweet, sensitive man?

Tsawwassen artist’s work is turned into ‘Lost Ships’ coin Royal Canadian Mint uses John Horton’s Franklin Expedition paintings BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

A new commemorative coin from the Royal Canadian Mint that used artwork from Tsawwassen marine artist John Horton was unveiled in Halifax last week.

The silver collector coin depicts HMS Terror and HMS Erebus navigating the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean. Both of the ships, part of the 19th century Franklin Expedition, and their crews were lost in the Arctic waters.

Horton says the coin was designed in May 2014, months before the discovery of the HMS Erebus’ wreck-

age by the Victoria Strait expedition team.

He adds that immersing himself in research for the coin inspired him to also create a larger work of the two ships in the Arctic.

“The Franklin Expedition is a very important event in Canadian history which laid the foundations of Canada’s Arctic sovereignty nearly two centuries ago,” said Minister of Justice and Attorney General Peter MacKay in a press release.

This coin is the second in the Lost Ships in Canadian Waters series.

Police dismantle Tsawwassen drug lab RCMP, firefighters and Health Canada all descend on 4th Avenue home following discovery earlier this week BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Delta police were on scene in Tsawwassen for several hours Wednesday afternoon dismantling the drug lab discovered earlier in the week.

At around 7 p.m. on Monday, police responded to reports of a disturbance at a home in the 5200-block of 4th Avenue.

A resident who lives nearby said police were called after a man who lived in the home jumped out of a window and then onto a neighbouring shed yelling for someone to call police because “they have a gun.”

She said he jumped off the shed and ran into the home before taking off.

When officers arrived, they determined the home was targeted in a break and enter. They also discovered a drug lab.

Out of concern for public safety, residents in five surrounding homes were evacuated for several hours.

On Wednesday, Delta police, the RCMP drug unit, with assistance from Health Canada, Delta fire-

fighters and paramedics, and a hazard waste removal company, began dismantling the operation.

Health Canada was brought in to test all the chemicals and substances found. The results likely won’t be known for several weeks.

Police had a section of the road blocked off for several hours while they worked.

Police are not yet revealing exactly what types of drugs were being manufactured in the home, only describing it as a chemical drug lab.

S/Sgt. Scott Lebus said neighbours told police there had been some suspicious activities at the home.

“The people that live here are not violent,” he said.

Residents in the area told the Optimist the house had been a problem for some time, with complaints about dogs barking and whining, and loud arguments.

Three adult males were arrested. They are in custody and charges are pending.

The suspect in the home invasion is still at large.

that doesn’t mean the average Canadian should indiscriminately take on more debt,” he said.

“Eventually, interest rates will go back up. It’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when.’ A high debt load that might be serviceable now could lead to future pain.”

Beyond credit card debt, Yan said that floating lines of credit can be particularly problematic if borrowers aren’t disciplined.

He emphasizes the need for prudent financial planning.

“If there ever was a time to establish a long-term financial plan, this is it.” *** Local producers and consumers came together Saturday, July 18 at the Tsawwassen Thrifty Foods to share fresh food and fresh ideas.

The market-style event featured more than 25 local producers sharing their products with Thrifty customers.

“For Thrifty Foods, local is about support-

ing our community,” said Mykal Cushing, Thrifty Foods retail specialist. “For example, our fresh sockeye salmon is caught in B.C. then processed in B.C. The salmon is caught by our fishermen, and it stays in our province to be processed by our people.

We value high quality products, but we also value the relationships we share with our suppliers.” *** White Spot launched its Celebrate BC summer menu earlier this month and this year’s offering features ingredients from two local operations — Felix Farms and Windset Farms.

“Fresh B.C. ingredients have been a hallmark of our offerings at White Spot since our first restaurant opened in 1928,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart. “We take great pride in our long-standing relationships with local growers — some that date back to a handshake deal with our founder, Nat Bailey and potato farmer Felix

briefs

Guichon from Felix Farms, and continue to this day.

We are incredibly excited to toast the summer alongside our guests with the return of the Celebrate BC summer menu.”

The local bounty includes: 5.8 million pounds of Kennebec potatoes, 815,000 pounds of vine-ripened tomatoes, 629,000 pounds of cabbage, 70,000 pounds of blueberries and 525,000 pounds of fresh chicken breasts. *** White Spot is hosting its annual Pirate Pak Day fundraiser on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Adults throughout the province can feel like a kid again for one day only with the return of the adult Pirate Pak for the restaurant’s eighth annual charity initiative.

For each Pirate Pak sold on Aug. 12, White Spot will donate $2 to Zajac Ranch for Children, a charity that provides a once-in-a-lifetime summer camp experience for kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities.

Shelley Macdonald sold the flower side of her Ladner Village business earlier this year and opened Driftwood Home & Cottage Collection.

Driftwood has wide variety of coastal-inspired items

Driftwood Home & Cottage Collection in Ladner Village is a wonderland of coastal-inspired home décor and gifts.

Owner Shelley Macdonald purchased Ladner Village Floral in 2004. In 2012, she expanded to add home décor and giftware, and earlier this year she sold the flower shop side of the business.

“We have a coastal theme,” she said, adding the store also specializes in wall art and carries a vast selection of pieces to help

bring a little personality to any wall.

In addition to all sorts of ornaments and accessories to give any room a little

flair, Driftwood also carries a variety of cards for any occasion, bamboo towels, artisan soaps and unique candles.

Recently, Macdonald added a large selection of yarn, wool and knitting

accessories. She says she realized there was a need for knitters, crocheters and crafters to purchase supplies locally.

Driftwood Home & Cottage Collection is located at 5046-48th Ave. The store is open 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Sunday.

For more information, call 604-946-8051 or visit the store’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/driftwoodhomeandcottagecollections.

Evolution Fulfillment giving back with Edible Homework project

A local company is finding ways to give back.

One of the initiatives from the non-profit arm of Evolution Fulfillment, a logistics company, is called Edible Homework.

It’s a series of videos aimed at teaching families and “latchkey kids” how to cook healthy meals for under $3.

“This is a way of creating healthy, easy meals for kids to cook,” said company president Ben Martin.

The company’s staff took part in a self-expression and leadership program, part of which includes taking on a community project.

The first video is finished and two more are in the editing process, Martin said.

Iraj Khabazian, cocreator of the Edible Homework project, said more videos are planned.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW The announcement last week that Deltaport would add shore power capabilities by 2017 is heartening, but we’ll need shipping companies to get on board if we’re to derive the benefits.

The idea of container ships turning off their diesel engines and plugging into electrical power while in port would definitely be a boon for our airshed, to say nothing of reducing the noise emanating from Roberts Bank. However, it’s not quite that simple.

Port Metro Vancouver and the federal government are combining to invest almost $5 million to install shore power technology at a berth at Deltaport, but it won’t work unless the container ships that call here are capable of plugging in.

Newer ships are able to do so, but it takes a substantial investment to retrofit older ones, a cost many lines are unwilling to bear.

Shore power has been available at Canada Place since 2009 but less than half the cruise ships that called on Vancouver last year took advantage of the opportunity. It’s a costly undertaking to retrofit a cruise ship, an investment that would take considerable time to recoup, presuming it sails long enough to do so.

Nevertheless, more than 11,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions have been avoided in Downtown Vancouver due to the first-of-its-kind program in Canada, so you can see there are tangible benefits even if the buy-in is sporadic.

The sooner it comes to Deltaport, the better off we’ll be. *** I could have saved myself a bunch of time if I had only thrown my hands up sooner.

Back in May, the sprinkler came out at my place earlier than usual thanks to a particularly dry spring. In the absence of any restrictions, I would drag it out at my convenience in an effort to maintain some semblance of green in the back yard. After June 1, I had to play by Metro Vancouver’s rules, which meant some early mornings moving the sprinkler around the yard.

Now that we’ve reached Stage 3 of Metro’s watering restrictions, the sprinkler has been hung up and those little brown patches I couldn’t prevent even with a regular splash have taken over. My back yard has become this dry, crunchy expanse of straw that makes walking barefoot uncomfortable.

It’s been drilled into us by now that a brown lawn is just dormant, but if I’d known that by late July I’d be staring at a hay field, I wouldn’t have been nearly as conscientious earlier in the season.

Perseverance has paid off for poll-topping civic councillor DOUG HUSBAND

COMMUNITY COMMENT Much is said and written about political leaders. Less well known are councillors who play an important role in civic affairs. Here’s the first profile of one of Delta’s councillors.

Sylvia Bishop entered politics in 1986 as a candidate for the NDP in Delta’s dual provincial riding. Bishop and then-alderman Karl Moser took on the successful Social Credit team of Walter Davidson and John Savage. A pragmatist at heart, she was undaunted by the defeat and exhilarated by the challenge.

Bishop ran in the 1987 municipal election under the Cit-A-Del banner and was edged out for the sixth and final council seat. The following year she carried the NDP banner in the federal election won

by Conservative candidate Dr. Stan Wilbee.

Motivated locally by the TDL hearings, Bishop participated in the municipal by-election in 2010 won by Ian Paton. Always a realist,

she recognized the benefit of name recognition. By then many aspiring politicians may have opted out of the fascinating world of politics.

She remained active in community affairs and ran successfully in the 2011 municipal election with the second highest popular vote.

Bishop also ran a competitive race in Delta North in the 2013 provincial election for the NDP, ultimately losing to Scott Hamilton of the B.C. Liberals. While occupying a “minority seat” on council, Bishop soon proved an able and principled contributor. As an incumbent in the 2014 municipal election, she topped the polls, a result may have been a surprise in some circles.

Bishop is now well positioned in municipal politics until 2018. Her current duties include vice chair of heritage, seniors advisory, and parks, recreation and culture committees, a member of the finance committee and liaison with the Delta Museum and Archives and Reach Development Society.

So who is this person and what are her political aspirations? I had the pleasure of a lengthy and entertaining discussion with Bishop covering a wide range of topics.

She is an only child of parents who immigrated to Canada in 1951, settling in Tsawwassen in 1966. She bussed to Ladner’s Delta Secondary for Grade 8 through

12. Graduating from UBC with honours in education, she spent a 28-year career at Cliff Drive Elementary in Tsawwassen and Simon Fraser University Faculty Of Education working with student teachers.

She also worked under a fouryear contract with the BCTF in its outreach program.

Bishop’s provincial political interest was heightened in 1981 with B.C.’s union solidarity movement culminating with the one-day work stoppage and rally at Empire Stadium. She fondly recalls her two political mentors, Dave Barrett and Mike Harcourt. Role models were her parents and teacher Tom Wilkenson.

While involved in a busy career and time for politics, Bishop was twice married and is the mother of Kristin, 34, and Andrew, 32. Now a widower, second husband Rob unfortunately passed away in 2013.

She and Rob enjoyed their retreats to Mexico and she continues to enjoy the sun and hospitality of that country.

Despite her council schedule, she has personal time for her passions: writing and painting. Now riding a wave of political popularity, she appears to have further aspirations. We’ll watch with interest as the 2017 provincial election approaches.

And a good night to you, Horst.

July 31, 2015 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Injured cyclist waits for ambulance to arrive Editor: Last week a cyclist fell on part of the dike walkway fronting our property on River Road West. This gentleman cut his leg badly.

I say badly because there was a lot of pooled and splattered blood to remove from our sidewalk and seating area. I have no precise medical information on him except to say I spoke with his son the following day

and found out the gentleman was released from hospital.

What I observed was three Delta firefighters providing first aid, wrapping his bleeding leg with bandages, speaking on a radio with someone to relay medical details on the injured cyclist, taking blood pressure, asking about the patient’s medical history, etc. They were providing

emergency care as quickly as possible in a calm, efficient manner.

This was in the heat of the day and they asked the passersby for a large brim hat and water to keep the patient cool while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. About 15 minutes had passed since I arrived on the scene so I offered to drive the cyclist to Delta Hospital as we were only

seven or eight minutes away. They checked with someone and informed me the ambulance was on its way.

I left the scene and drove along River road toward the highway. I finally saw the ambulance round the corner off Highway 17A and Ladner Trunk Road as I made my way onto Highway 17A. I am not going to debate

who is to provide emergency assistance, Delta firefighters of the B.C. Ambulance Service, but what I observed was that gentleman was down at least five or six minutes before the fire truck arrived, was there during my time at the scene another 12 to 15 minutes and then another 14 or 15 minutes until the ambulance arrived.

Our ambulances are

busy, spread out and have priorities, but taxpayers are the source of the funds for these services and from my simple observation, this enhanced service provided

by Delta and using our Delta firefighters is, pardon the pun, bang on.

This citizen of Delta received the best care possible under the circumstances.

Walker appalled by amount Raising money for Cops for Cancer ride has of dog waste that can be become a family affair for the Boucheys found at Brunswick Point

Editor: We would just like to say a big thank you to the wonderful community of Ladner that we absolutely love and are so proud to be a part of.

We signed up for the Cops for Cancer ride that will be taking place in September.

It is a 900-kilometre ride that takes place over nine days raising funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research, detection and prevention.

My husband is doing all the pedalling and “we” are taking on the fundrais-

ing as a family as a way of giving back for all of the people who helped us eight years ago when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Thankfully I am now living cancer free.

Raising a minimum of $6,000 goes well beyond asking family and friends.

Our daughter helped get things started by raising $1,500 in donations when she donated 10 inches of her hair to Wigs for Kids. From there we went out to our wonderful community, setting up at Ladner Pioneer May Days and most recently on the

Ladner criterium route at Tour de Delta.

Going out to our community to ask for raffle prize donations for these two events was both challenging and amazing. It personally took me out of my comfort zone and was by far the hardest part of this whole experience.

What started out as uncomfortable and challenging quickly turned to rewarding. It has been great meeting all the wonderful people in our business community who so generously supported us and getting to know many of you

by name.

Thank you to everyone who donated the venues, their services, the raffle prizes and for those people who took the time to stop by and purchase their tickets and share their stories.

We are so proud to be a part of such a wonderful community.

We know there are still a few more community events being put on by riders of the Cops for Cancer teams. Please stop by to say hello and consider supporting them in their ride.

Lenient sentences only serve to fuel drug-related crime Editor: Re: Roundtable tackles gang violence, July 24 Following yet another roundtable town session of anxious hand-wringing about what to do about the seemingly unchecked epidemic of drug-related gang warfare, Surrey’s and Delta’s politicians are still not answering a fearful public’s questions as to how to tackle and when to take back their communities from a long-festering history of gang violence and crime.

The usual responses to

crime and crime prevention, as routinely put forward by politicians, such as more police presence, intensified video surveillance, mental health initiatives, drug enforcement, etc. can potentially be effective measures.

However, no progress to combating an escalating situation of street crime and gang warfare will be made unless we tackle the fundamental judicial problem of the courts routinely handing out soft or no sentences, sending convicted felons back on the street only to

Watering restrictions make no sense in certain situations Editor: I must question the recent watering restrictions.

I live in a condominium with underground sprinklers for our plants and shrubs.

Up until now the system was on for 15 minutes three times a week. I am now trying to cover the same area (which is almost impossible) every day for at least 45 minutes.

Also not topping up

swimming pools and hot tubs makes no sense as it is imperative the water level remains above the skimmer in order for the system to function.

I realize this is an unusually dry summer but I also question when the latest update to our reservoir system was done. And we are expecting another million people!

Lorraine MacLennan

re-offend.

Instead of engaging in the politically correct response of feebly portraying violent criminals as “victims of societal exclusion,” measures to help put an end to street crime must entail, first and fore-

most, resolute legislation for tougher sentencing that would send a clear message to would-be felons that judicial tolerance for gang violence is over.

What is needed now is the political courage to act.

E.W. Bopp

Editor: Having recently resumed my walking routine on the dike trail at Brunswick Point after a short vacation break, I am appalled at the amount of dog excrement on the trailway. The worst section seems to be the first part of the trail near the parking area.

I have walked this trail (with my dog), year round, for several years and have never seen it in such a disgusting state.

I realize there is increased usage during the summer but I have also noticed more people (and dogs) at usually quieter times since the closure of the North 40 dog park.

People, the municipality provides free waste bags and a bin to deposit them in. Please use them.

If you are one of those lazy and/or inconsiderate dog owners that doesn’t scoop the poop, please don’t walk your dog at this

location. Stay home and let your dog foul your own back yard.

Don’t spoil a beautiful spot for everyone else.

Radio towers would put public’s health at risk BY

BEVERLY ALDER

Optimist contributor

The proposed KRPI radio towers proposed just south of the border in Point Roberts pose real health concerns for both Tsawwassen and Point Roberts residents. In reality, we are facing a public health risk for our children, our grandchildren and ourselves.

Many people are under the impression this battle has been won. It has not.

So far we have spent over $150,000 US in this very expensive legal battle, first at the Whatcom County level and now in Skagit County Superior Court, where BBC Broadcasting Inc. (the owners of KRPI) are appealing Whatcom County’s denial of permits to construct the towers.

We fully expect KRPI, should it lose this appeal, will continue to the next level in state and possibly federal courts. We can continue this vital, protracted battle by Tsawwassen and Point Roberts citizens donating money to pay our very competent lawyers who have already won before the Whatcom County hearing examiner and then the Whatcom County council, which unanimously upheld the hearing examiner’s decision.

We take for granted our quality of life and health.

We must protect it, but to do so we need your continued support. KRPI’s owners are hoping we will tire, that we will run out of funds and that they will win by attrition, by exhausting us

and by draining us.

We believe this crossborder community is too strong and resilient for that to happen, but without everyone’s help, it just might. And, if it does, we and our children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences.

We are all in this together. If every household donates a little, that adds up to a lot.

We are all in this together. If every household donates a little, that adds up to a lot.

A number of epidemiological studies have concluded that proximity to AM radio towers increases the risk of developing childhood leukemia. One study concludes there was an “increased risk of lymphocytic leukemia among children with higher levels of exposure to radio frequency radiation from nearby AM radio broadcasting (stations) than among children with lower levels of exposure.”

We estimate the risk zone will reach all the way to Highway 17A and possibly beyond. We must protect our pregnant mothers and 4,000 children who are more vulnerable to electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

Recent cellular research has shown that our DNA suffers breaks in its strands with continuous exposure to EMR. M. Blank, PhD, a leading researcher in cellular research, cautions:

“Continuous exposure to EMR would predispose an individual to the accumulation of DNA damage and the development of cancer.”

Our bodies are not adapted to withstand prolonged exposure to EMR. If the proposed KRPI towers are built, we will be subject to powerful 50,000 watts of EMR, 24 hours a day, seven days a week for as long as the towers are operational.

This invisible but highpowered constant wave of EMR will travel through the air and four metres into wet soil. Alarmingly, this EMR penetrates our bodies. In May, 202 world scientists from 40 countries issued an appeal to the UN and WHO calling for protection from non-ionizing electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure.

These scientists list the EMF effects as: “increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, structural and functional changes in the reproductive system and negative impacts on general well being.” These health impacts can not be allowed to happen to us and our families.

We must protect our health and way of life.

Extend that blessing Isn’t summer amazing? All the many opportunities to enjoy, the time to allow for so many to take in life experience and learning in a different way and the weather to allow for so much outdoor time. Some have seen excellent theatre productions, viewed the wondrous fireworks displays from various countries, enjoyed time on the beaches and playgrounds, and experienced new sites on vacations.

Now we prepare for this full weekend organized for the Sun Festival in Tsawwassen. Celebrating the way community is called on to participate. Be safe, weather wise and attentive to all those in your care.

I would also encourage us to be aware of and attentive to our neighbours and community members who are challenged by issues of accessibility, lack of resources, need for

practical support and encouragement in order to be included in the festivities. This may call us to offer our capacity to invite and bring them along.

After all, when we are so very blessed, I would hope it would be our natural inclination to extend that blessing to some who may be challenged, shy or simply unable to initiate involvement on their own. It could very well make someone’s day a little more joyful.

“You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.”

“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”

Representatives from the Tsawwassen Legion were on hand this week to donate $1,500 to the South Delta Little House Society.

The money, which was raised through donations during the Legion’s annual poppy campaign, has been earmarked for a special project. The society is currently working on putting together a virtual library, which will be available on its website, aimed at educating teens, their parents and others about drugs and addiction. The society received a $5,000 federal grant for the project. The $1,500 donation from the Legion will help offset some of the remaining $5,000 in costs to complete the project.

Share harvest through food coalition The growing season is in full swing and many are enjoying the seasonal bounty that Delta provides. For some this includes produce from backyard vegetable gardens and fruit trees.

Fruit trees, when properly cared for, can supply abundant crops. For some, however, maintaining and harvesting fruit trees can create problems. Over-ripe tree fruit dropping to the ground not only creates food waste but also attracts unwanted pests.

The Shared Harvest program run by the Delta Food Coalition can help if

you find yourself unable to harvest or keep up with the harvesting of your backyard fruit trees or vegetable gardens.

Local homeowners and businesses with healthy unsprayed fruit trees can register their yards with the Shared Harvest program based at the Earthwise Society in Boundary Bay. A team of experienced volunteers will assess the tree, pick fruit and distribute the produce.

It’s called the Shared Harvest program because the fruit or produce is divided between homeowners,

volunteer harvesters and partnering social agencies with much of the produce going to the local Boys & Girls Clubs, the South Delta Food Bank and monthly community meals hosted by local churches.

“Excess produce is also made available at no cost for seniors at monthly Pocket Markets held at KinVillage in Tsawwassen,” says Earthwise staffer Corinne Imrie.

“Watching the looks of disbelief transform into smiles of joy when I tell seniors that they really can help themselves to a bag of

cherries or plums for free and knowing that children in after school care and summer programs are getting fresh local fruit for snacks instead of highly processed, pre-packaged items is what makes this so special to me.”

Earthwise Society is the lead agency for the Delta Food Coalition, which is a network of community organizations that includes Deltassist.

If you would like to register your yard, host a Pocket Market or become a volunteer, call 604-9469828.

Beach Grove’s Cory Rudston-Brown played from sunrise to sunset in the 10th annual PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS.

Golf pro plays 305 holes in marathon round for ALS

Cory Rudston-Brown from the Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen played 305 holes in a single day last month, bettering his record from last year by five holes.

Rudston-Brown golfed from sunrise to sunset to support those living with ALS in the 10th annual PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS. His average score at the end of a very long day was just 75 and Rudston-Brown

raised a whopping $12,190 to support people living with ALS. Donald Miyazaki, executive director of the PGA of B.C., said over the last decade the group’s members have generated over $1 million and assisted over 3,200 individuals in B.C. fighting the deadly disease.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that

affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles, resulting in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, mouth, throat and elsewhere; typically the person is immobilized within two to five years of the initial diagnosis. There is no known cause or cure yet, but there is hope through the ALS Society of B.C. Proceeds from the Golfathon for ALS provide support services to patients and research to find a cure.

he Commemorative Air Force Airbase Arizona is bringing another of its Second World War-era bombers to Boundary Bay Airport.

The B-17G bomber Sentimental Journey will visit the East Ladner airport from Monday to Friday of next week and the non-profit organization is offering a chance to have an up close and personal visit with the aircraft.

Visitors will be able to take ground and cockpit tours (for a donation) and talk with the plane’s crew.

Guests taking a cockpit tour will be able to climb into the plane through the front hatch and “actually take a look

The Arizona airbase had its B-25J bomber Maid in the Shade visit Boundary Bay Airport last summer.

Magorrian explains both the B-25J and B-17G go out on tours from about the end of May through to the early part of October every year.

Sentimental Journey started its tour in Utah this year and had stops in South Dakota and North Dakota before crossing the border into Canada, he says, noting as of last week the plane was in Lethbridge.

When done with tour, the aircraft goes back to Mesa and is on display but also available for flights and special events.

The CAF was founded to acquire, restore and preserve in flying condition a complete

collection of combat aircraft that were flown by all military services of the United States, and aircraft of other nations, for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans, the organization’s website states.

Cockpit tours are $6.29 per person or $12.59 for the whole family.

Tours are available daily through Thursday, Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Flight experiences can be scheduled by calling the B-17G crew at 587-338-8817. For more information visit azcaf.org.

Sentimental Journey is departing for Abbotsford next Friday morning so no cockpit tours will be available that day, although visitors are welcome to watch preparations for departure.

See the best of Beijing BY

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS Optimist contributor

Despite warnings about Beijing’s pollution, the scene from my Ritz Carlton suite’s windows encompass clear blue skies above a panoramic view of the city’s financial district. In a courtyard below, citizens practise Tai Chi, their elongated forms in the bright sunlight twisting and bending in a seemingly choreographed shadow play.

First up on my day’s itinerary is a pedicab ride to a traditional hutong settlement — in Beijing’s old city quarter. The word “hutong” meant “water well” back in the 13th century, but today it refers to a colony of dwellings set within a warren of alleyways.

It’s hard to imagine living here, cheekby-jowl with your neighbours, where the air is thick with cooking aromas and noisy vendors and where drains with kitchen waste or ditch water flow past one’s door.

Emerging from the hutong, a pleasant tree-lined avenue lies between the sun-flecked Houhai Lake on one side and about 100 restaurants and bars on the other.

Further on, stalls display souvenirs, toys and clothing items, and locals and visitors jam the road as far as the eye can see.

Chinese pop music blares from a shop selling CDs and the smell of spicy fried noodles wafts out from sidewalk food kiosks.

On every visitor’s itinerary is Beijing’s

Beijing’s Forbidden City.

Imperial Palace, which is instantly recognizable from the set of The Last Emperor.

As I walk through the majestic entrance gate into the Forbidden City, there is a concerted “Aaah!” from the crowd at the first sight of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, its

fluted gold-glazed tiles shimmering in the afternoon sun.

This was the centre of royal pomp and power where formal ceremonies — coronations, weddings and investitures — would have taken place during the Ming and Qing

dynasties.

Moving from one courtyard to the next, it’s as though I am unfolding a many-layered treasure. Each gate opens to a new vista, with palaces bearing poetic titles.

Red, emblematic of royal power, is the predominant colour throughout the Forbidden City and every palace boasts flamboyant ceilings with intricate interlocking wooden painted tiles.

The next afternoon I stand on the walkway looking out from the ramparts of the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China, gazing at the same scene that thousands of workers and soldiers would have looked out on from the 6th century onwards. There is an overwhelming sense of the passage of time embedded in the very stones on which I’m standing.

I try to wipe out the clicking of cameras and the noise and chatter of hundreds of tourists to envision a soldier more than 1,400 years ago in one of the lookout towers, perhaps eating his lunch and chatting to a comrade. Or doing something even as mundane as blowing his nose!

A gust of wind ruffles my hair, just as it would have ruffled his — and I can’t but think that a human foible or two is what breathes life into the grand, yet impersonal, sweep of history.

out that I tested positive... for menopause.

Lucky for me, this past last year I have been designing programs and plans specific for menopausal women. I have had the fortune of interviewing some of the industry’s best about how to handle menopause, so I knew what I needed to do to help control my weight, my hot flashes, my sleeping problems, my brain fog and my turn-on-adime moods.

What none of these experts taught me, however, was how to handle this change emotionally.

Because that was where menopause was really kicking me in the butt.

And then I got to thinking (again when I couldn’t sleep, because those are the best times to think, aren’t they?) Menopause is just another cog in the wheel of this thing called life.

I started relating to it by thinking of it in terms that I

knew and could understand, such as working out, and came to the conclusion that menopause is just another rep in the workout of life.

Just like any other rep that I do in the gym, I can perform it poorly and set myself up for injury, I can do the rep half-hearted and see little to no results, or I can put all of my effort and focus on this one rep and grow. The only difference is that it’s not physically in this instance; instead, I’ll

Islanders hungry for more in 2016 Junior lacrosse team will be back with veteran line-up after being swept by 7-time defending champs BY

Pacific Standard Time.

It was the result everyone expected but it doesn’t mean the Delta Islanders came away with nothing more than silver medals.

The Coquitlam Adanacs capped another dominating season in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League by completing a four game sweep of the Islanders with a 16-8 win on Tuesday night in Ladner.

It was the Adanacs’ seventh straight BCJALL title and they lost just one of 28 games in the process.

That happened way back on May 3 when many of their key players were still playing college ball in the US. Their average margin of victory in league play was by eight goals.

The Islanders dropped all three league meetings to Coquitlam, including an embarrassing 26-6 home floor loss in their regular season finale just over three weeks ago. That’s why few believed Delta could even compete with the league juggernaut despite its impressive three-game sweep of Victoria in the semi-finals.

Head coach Greg Rennie wanted to see more out of his team than what the series outcome would suggest and his young players delivered.

Delta battled hard in a 9-8 game one loss and saw its third period comeback fall short in a 10-7 game two setback in Ladner.

It did get rather ugly in Monday’s 17-6 game three defeat, but the Islanders showed their character 24 hours later by being within two goals midway through the contest before the Adanacs pulled away for good.

Delta wasn’t going to allow Coquitlam to go into an early celebration mode either as rookie Mitch Winter dropped the gloves with third-year veteran Mike Messenger.

Shawn Richardson and Evan Messenger also got into late third period scraps.

“I saw a lot of things from our guys that I was impressed with,” said Rennie. “For Mitch and Shawn to be fighting two of their third-year

Chase Fraser breaks towards the net during game four action of the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League finals on Tuesday night in Ladner. Coquitlam completed a four game sweep with a 16-8 victory.

21-year-old tough guys, it shows their character and how we didn’t quit to the very end.

“They are a great and wellcoached lacrosse team. But I think we also showed they are human too.

We got a lot of experience from this and saw what we needed to see. We will be a better team moving forward.”

All along, Rennie has stated he was setting up this roster to take a serious run during the 2016 season.

He is losing few players to graduation and will have mostly thirdyear veterans, including goaltender Ryland Hood who was outstanding in the playoffs.

“We came into this season building for next year,” he continued. “I thought it would be Coquitlam and New West (in the finals). I never want to lose and it’s always about making it to the Minto Cup. But this was really good for where we want to be.”

Will a veteran-loaded Islanders be enough to challenge the Adanacs’ dynasty?

The champions are losing some key players to graduation but a seven-year run suggests there is always more outstanding talent on the horizon.

Coquitlam’s intermediate “A” team went 15-3 in the regular season and will be looking to win the B.C. title this weekend. The Adanacs midget “A” team just won provincials.

At least the Islanders and the league’s other teams can be thankful the midget draft returned two years ago to enhance more parity.

“It seemed like any time we scored they had an answer and would come back with one or two goals,” added Rennie. “We just couldn’t get any momentum but that’s what good teams do. What do you do with guys like Chris Cloutier? You can’t stop him.”

Boxla bits..

It was the day of the 2015 BCJALL midget draft in late January when Rennie stated No. 1 overall pick Tre Leclaire had the ability to immediately step into his line-up.

He couldn’t have been more right.

The 17-year-old skipped his two years of intermediate eligibility and made a huge impact with the Islanders, finishing second in league scoring with 94 points. It came as no surprise when Leclaire received the Marcolis Gilson Award as the BCJALL Rookie-of-the-Year.

The South Surrey native also was recipient of the Bob Reid Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievement and was named to a First Team AllStar. Ryland Hood was named to the Second Team. Rounding out the hardware was third-year defensive standout Jordan Gilles picked up the Keith McEachren Trophy as Most Sportsmanlike Player.

Field hockey standouts help Canada reach podium Mark Pearson scores in Pan Am Games semi-final shootout win over Brazil to secure berth in 2016 Summer Olympics Tsawwassen’s Mark Pearson and Sara McManus had leading roles in helping Canada’s field hockey teams both medal at the Pan Am Games for the first time in 16 years.

Pearson was among the scorers in a shootout as Canada edged Brazil 1-0 in the semi-finals. The result guaranteed Canada a spot in the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics.

The 15th ranked Canadians then fell 3-0 to No. 6 Argentina in the gold medal game.

Canada had reached the point of Olympic qualification through a strong finish at the World League Semi-final in Argentina in June.

At that tournament, the Canadians upset two teams (Spain and New Zealand) higher than them in the standings, leading to a fourth place result and a virtually guaranteed spot in Rio. The team has also qualified for the World League Final in November in India where it will

Tsawwassen’s Mark Pearson (bottom row centre) helped Canada win silver in men’s field hockey at the Pan American Games. The Canadians also locked up a spot in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. when Canada faked the flick and moved the ball to McManus. The 21-year-old defender’s hard sweeping shot was re-directed into the top corner by Brienne Stairs.

A medal at the Pan Am Games is a step towards the Canadians

face seven of the world’s top field hockey nations in a high-level Olympic primer.

Meanwhile, a young Canadian women’s team earned the bronze medal with a 1-0 win over Chile.

It was on a late penalty corner

qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Games in Toyko.

“We’re already three years into an eight-year plan,” says women’s national team director and head coach Ian Rutledge. “We have a World Cup to prepare for in 2018

(pending qualification) and the girls effectively were talking about starting our Tokyo program (in the bronze medal match in Toronto).”

The field hockey medals rounds out an impressive haul for Delta athletes at the Pan Am Games.

Earlier, rowers Maxwell Lattimer and Brendan Sara McManus Hodge won gold in rowing, while Kyle Lotzkar (baseball) and Jennifer Yee and Jocelyn Cater (softball) helped their teams to big gold medal wins over the United States.

Tsawwassen swimmer Markus Thormeyer was also a member of the Canadian men’s silver medal 4x100 freestyle relay team.

Islanders in Langley this weeekend for Intermediate “B” provincials The Delta Islanders are headed to this weekend’s Provincial Intermediate “B” Lacrosse Championships in Langley.

The Islanders secured their spot in the four-team tournament by finishing third in regular season play with a 12-6-0 record, then outlasting Port Moody in a tough bestof-three qualifying series.

Delta took the opener 10-8 in Ladner, then came through with a an 8-5 triumph on the road.

The provincials will also include regular season champion Coquitlam (16-2-0), Ridge Meadows (16-2-0) and Vancouver Island champion Cowichan Valley.

The format sees each team square off in

round-robin play to determine the gold and bronze medal games on Monday.

The Islanders roster includes: Alex Butschler, Cody Hoegg, David Olszowiec, Derrick Usipiuk, Dylan Skujins, Elliot Bandstra, Hayden Grant, Hayden Siltberg, Jack Yingling, Jacob Howatt, Jake Liebich, Jake Milford, Jamie Torcov, Justice Wilson,
