Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Greystone Stables in Ladner for a rally yesterday afternoon. He told supporters the Liberals and NDP have no new ideas on the economy and talked about the global terrorism threats. Harper was also complimentary of local Conservative incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the minister of national revenue.

Strategic voting may finally arrive

Oprah

Oprah was dropped off at a vet clinic after some civilians found her. She had no ID and needed to be spayed. Oprah is still waiting for her spay and is adjusting here at the shelter. She is a sassy little girl who absolutely HATES other cats and would not take kindly to children. Anyone who has had a tortoiseshell knows the sassy nature of the breed and can respect that occasionally this little lady has her “mood swings”. Oprah is currently in heat and is being a sweetheart. We hope that we can love her up as much as possible now while she allows us so that she can realize people are actually pretty great. We will update her profile after her spay.

Do you have room in your home for a little spit fire?

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.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. 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

Protect Your Investment Trade Qualifications Ensure Quality

Buying a home or building should not be a quality gamble. It is our right as consumers to expect that buildings are constructed to industry standards by certified trade’s people.

At one time it was mandatory that city and municipal building inspectors routinely verified trades qualification tickets on the job site as part of their inspection process.

Unfortunately, several years ago, policy changes directed inspectors to cease this practice. Without this check in place there is no assurance that workers on a job site have served their apprenticeships or even know the building trade code pertaining to their trade.

Homeowners should be aware that their property insurance and ultimately their investment is jeopardized if unqualified workers do their repairs and renovations.

Business Manager Joe Shayler Assistant Business Manager Alex MacDonald

Protect your investment: request proof of trade qualifications prior to allowing repairs or renovations on your property.

The various building trade codes and practices were developed to ensure quality workmanship and public safety. Whether union or non-union, we should be assured that any construction is done by qualified trade’s people. The United Association, consisting of plumbers , steamfitters, sprinklerfitters, instrumentation techs, welders, supplies our signatory contractors with only ticketed trades people and indentured apprentices who have on the job and technical training.

Our pledge to you is to do the job right the first time. Please visit our website to find out more about us and our training centres: www.uapicbc.ca

THINKING OF STARTING PILATES? JUMPSTART PACKAGE • 4 one on one sessions • Postural and functional assessment ONLY $239. (save over $65)

Summer’s nearly over, why not get your skin back on track!

Silkpeel - $125.00/treatment Improves blemish or acne-prone skin, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, reduces dry, flaky patches and rejuvenates sun damage skin 226-1077 56th Street, Delta BC, V4L 2A2 604-943-9339 2nd Floor in the Tsawwassen Medical Building www.beachgrovelaser.com or info@beachgrovelaser.com

“I chose Pilates because I was looking for a whole body fitness program like Yoga but with more of a strength component. I like how Pilates builds strength, particularly in the core, and increases my flexibility.

The Tsawwassen Wellness Centre opened in 2001 as a Pilates and Yoga Studio. Fourteen years later, we are going strong and honored to be providing a space of physical health, renewal and well-being for our community.

The TWC team is committed to making a positive difference in the lives and wellbeing of all people. To teach strategies of movement that relieve physical pain, inspire strength and energy so you can simply get on with living an extraordinary life.

Pilates is the bread and butter for living and moving through life.

It is the foundation for healthy posture and and spinal alignment, strength, balance and control.

At the TWC, we don’t just teach exercises. We teach a philosophy, a feeling, an energy, a way of moving and being that ignites your soul and inspires you from within. We teach from the beginning of the class to the end of the class with 100% focus so you feel the deep connection to your body, mind and spirit.

This fall, you are invited to experience Pilates for yourself with our exclusive Jumpstart Program and discover how great it feels to breathe, stretch, move and strengthen your body in a safe, fun and nurturing environment.

I am in as good shape as I was in my 20’s & 30’s, maybe better. This allows me to hike & ski with my 20 something sons. Pilates is a good anti-dote to my desk job spent mainly on the computer.

The staff at TWC are all very friendly, highly skilled and well trained. An hour at the TWC leaves me feeling relaxed, de-stressed and pleasantly tired, but, also invigorated.”
