Hawk found on Westham Island is victim of pesticide poisoning

OWL spreading the word after raptor dies; further tests to determine type of poison JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

OWL is hoping to spread the word and curb pesticide use after a hawk was found poisoned.

Margaret McCabe said the bird recently ended up on her son’s Westham Island property. The family was out in the yard when they saw the red-tailed hawk flying low over the property. She said they became concerned when it landed in the field and was

found lying on its back.

McCabe said her son approached the bird. She said they were able to get the bird on a stick and her son held it after he found some welding gloves. She said it seemed strange that her son was able to hold and pet the raptor.

The family called Orphaned Wildlife Rescue (OWL). They agreed that something appeared to be wrong with the bird and someone was there in 20 minutes to

examine the hawk.

Bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg said when the bird was brought in it was showing signs of poisoning. Staff at the centre tried to save the hawk but it died two days later.

Through testing, Versteeg said staff were able to determine it was not lead poisoning but likely a pesticide or herbicide. She said further tests will be done to pinpoint the exact type of poison used.

Versteeg said the bird wasn’t necessarily poisoned intentionally.

She said raptors like the hawk can become ill after ingesting poisoned rats or other prey.

“Unfortunately, it is quite common and we wish it wasn’t,” she said.

Suburbanites will get a taste of agricultural life at tomorrow’s Day at the Farm.

The annual free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Westham Island Herb Farm. Hosted by Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust in partnership with local farmer Sharon Ellis and family, the event provides visitors a unique opportunity to interact with many aspects of the farming community.

Organizers say the 10th anniversary event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with close to 30 agriculture-related organizations bringing interactive displays to engage people about how our food is produced and how local farms benefit wildlife conservation.

The event will showcase many fun activities for the whole family, including farmer-led hay wagon tours, B.C. Dairy Association milking shows, a musical pony show and BC Fresh’s Potato Dig.

Some big changes are in store for KinVillage.

A new master plan is in the works that could see the South Delta seniors’ hub expand its care facility, see a renewal of existing buildings and an expanded range of seniors’ housing options.

Members of the nonprofit society met with Delta council at a workshop last month to discuss a variety of ideas that could play a role in a new plan.

Working with architect Patrick Cotter, the society is looking at such ideas as developing a new independent living building with community amenity space, a new residential care building with over 200 beds as well as new outdoor spaces and other changes.

The long-term plan would have “synergies” with neighbouring Winskill Park, which will undergo its own changes in a separate plan that’s been initiated by the parks and recreation department and will be presented to council at a future date KinVillage CEO Donna Ellis said they need to work closely with the municipality to ensure everyone is on the same page.

“The reason we were talking to the municipal-

ity is we need some help developing the vision. The municipality is quite keen in that regard because our property is adjacent to Winskill Park, which is corporation (of Delta) property, but the other thing is we are kind of connected programwise. We have a couple of recreation programs on our site, which is something the municipality is typically involved in,” she said.

Originally called the Kinsmen Retirement Centre when it opened 35 years ago, the Tsawwassen facility now consists of a 101bed intermediate care home, a 12,172-square-foot community centre, an apartment building with 97 subsidized independent living apartments, another building with 45 senior supportive housing units and a third building with 68 assisted

living suites. The centre is also home to an adult day program and ElderCollege Delta.

The centre, at 5430-10th Ave., refers to itself as a campus of care, meeting the different needs of seniors as those become more complex.

KinVillage has undergone a transformation over the years, including two of the three apartment build-

Restrictions relaxed to allow sprinkling once a week

With more rain and cooler temperatures in recent weeks, Metro Vancouver this week downgraded the region’s watering restrictions to Stage 2.

“Metro Vancouver staff have continuously monitored the water levels in our three reservoirs as well as our daily water consumption, and now that the reservoirs are within the seasonal average, we

can return to Stage 2 water restrictions,” Carol Mason, chief administrative officer, said Wednesday.

That means homeowners can resume lawn sprinkling, which is now allowed once per week between 4 and 9 a.m. Even-numbered addresses can water on Mondays and odd-numbered addresses can water on Thursdays.

Recent rainfall has

helped replenish the region’s dwindling reservoirs. The Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam reservoirs are currently at 60 per cent capacity, and Metro Vancouver’s three alpine lakes, which provide water to the reservoirs throughout the summer, have also been replenished by the recent rains.

“Collectively, we did a tremendous job conserv-

ing water during months of dry, hot weather,” said Greg Moore, Metro Vancouver chair. “Due to the extraordinary conservation efforts of the citizens of Metro Vancouver, we did not exceed the 1.2 billion-litresper-day target for water use shortly after implementing the Stage 3 restrictions.

“With reservoirs holding at 60 per cent for the past week, we now have

adequate supply of water and I want to acknowledge in particular the significant support from the business community,” he said.

Metro Vancouver will continue to monitor daily the reservoir levels and consumption, once usage is within the normal range of consumption and reservoirs are remaining within normal levels, water restrictions will be relaxed further.

ings now offering different levels of living arrangements. The goal is to give seniors a chance to live on their own longer and stay in their own communities.

Today, almost 400 people call KinVillage home and every weekday over 100 people “north of 50” participate in programs at the community centre.

As far as the living arrangements, the seniors’ supportive housing — the Margaret Vidal Court — offers some basic services for residents, including one meal per day and cleaning services. The assisted living units, meanwhile, offer two meals per day and some personal care.

The care home remains a facility where residents receive round-the-clock professional nursing care.

One building remains as subsidized apartments that continue to offer basic tenancy without extra services.

KinVillage is planning to host public information meetings this fall to discuss the new vision.

Noting they’re still in the ideas stage, Ellis added they needed to look at changes regardless because the buildings are getting older.

Local siblings Jason and Sophia Fung are gearing up to take part in this weekend’s Canuck Place Adventure Race, but the event is about so much more than just racing.

Fifteen-year-old Sophia was diagnosed at birth with a rare genetic abnormality that now encompasses the majority of her organs and systems. She has been living with the disease her entire life, however, the last year has become increasingly difficult, says mom Beverly Pomeroy.

Sophia developed hypoventilation, which means she stops breathing, and lives with chronic pain.

Pomeroy says her daughter used to get out regularly — she attended school, dance classes and played soccer.

“She used to do things that brought her out into the community,” she says.

But now the hypoventilation means she requires oxygen at times and she is on a variety of medications to help deal with the pain.

For the most part, she has become isolated at home and sleeps the majority of the time.

“She’s made her world smaller,” Pomeroy says.

“We try to create opportunities for people to come to her.”

Sunday’s race is a significant event for the family because not only does it give Sophia a chance to get out and participate alongside her older brother, but it gives her the ability to give back to Canuck Place.

Sophia and Jason will be taking part in the race’s adaptive component, which includes a 500-metre kayak, two-kilometre bike ride and a one-kilometre run.

Adaptive equipment will allow Sophia to take part in the race with her brother and teams of other levels – an adult race that includes a three-kilometre kayak,

20-kilometre bike ride and a six-kilometre run, a teen challenge on the same course and a kids’ course, which starts with a series of obstacles followed by a two-kilometre bike and a one-kilometre run.

Funds raised will go directly to supporting Canuck Place, a place Sophia and her family have come to rely upon as they deal with her disease.

Canuck Place was the first pediatric hospice in North America and is world renowned for its leadership and expertise in pediatric pain and symptom management, and end-of-life care.

“It isn’t something you necessarily want to qualify for, but if you do, you can’t get any better support,” Pomeroy says.

“She loves Canuck Place.

They’ve known her for 13 years.”

Aside from the medical

assistance, events like the Adventure Race and the Canuck Place Teen Camp give Sophia and Jason the chance to be siblings in a supported environment.

The camp gives teens and their siblings the opportunity for two nights away without parents, and for kids like Sophia, to experience summer camp – all with care and support from Canuck Place staff, nurses, volunteers and peer counsellors.

“It’s a really cool, inclusive environment,” says Jason.

Sophia and Jason will be at the start line Sunday morning at Jericho Beach ready to take on the race together.

Former civic politician Doug Massey helped found the Delta Fishing and Heritage Society.

Fishing and farming must play a big role in any new museum

Wiser

How handsome is he? Wiser is such a lovely dog and likes to greet everyone he meets. Wiser loves his people and we think it would be best if he went to an adult only home or a home with teenagers who have big dog/breed experience. Wiser has some slight anxiety here at the shelter so it would be best for him to be with someone who is home a majority of the time. Wiser is too interested in our shelter kitty here so a home with no small animals or cats would be best. We have tested him with a small, submissive dog and he was reactive so we feel he may do well with other dogs that he has been properly introduced to. This sweet man is eager to find his new family. Is that with you?

Delta’s fishing and farming heritage should play a big role in any new municipal museum.

That’s what longtime resident Doug Massey had to say about Delta’s intention to relocate the museum from the former municipal hall building in Ladner Village.

“As you know we have been trying to establish a location to display the history of the people involved in the commercial fishing industry to no avail. We are hoping that you would include a representative from our society in your deliberations,” Massey stated in a letter to Mayor Lois Jackson this summer.

Over a couple of years ago, the former municipal politician helped form a group now called the Delta Fishing and Heritage Society.

The group originally eyed the Delta-owned

Seven Seas fish plant building or the old BrackmanKer building on Chisholm Street as potential locations for historical displays or an interpretive centre.

However, the BrackmanKer building collapsed into the harbour, while the municipality has decided to sell the Seven Seas site.

The group has also been looking for a permanent home for two old wooden fish boats — the Persian Fisher and Georgia Star — which were donated by local fishing families. The society wants to consolidate the storage of the boats into a single, dry land location where they can be repaired and restored for public display.

Massey sees the plan to relocate the museum as a potential opportunity, although it’s not clear at this point where the museum will end up, let alone what the new facility would look like.

Not long after Delta Museum and Archives

Grade CHANGER ACE THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR WITH SYLVAN

Society members made a presentation to the civic heritage advisory committee earlier this summer expressing their desire for a new facility, MP KerryLynne Findlay made a federal funding announcement promising major dollars to help the municipality renovate the current museum building. That work is to begin next year.

The museum will have to move out, regardless, for the renovations and the only thing certain at this point is that it won’t be moving back once those upgrades are done.

Massey wrote to Jackson reminding her of his group’s efforts, saying that a location for the new museum should be within the Ladner waterfront. He said it best reflects the history of both the fishing and farming industries.

He added it would go a long way in establishing a point of interest within the Ladner business community.

“We wish to make it clear that our priority is to find a location to retain and display the many artifacts and family histories that are available to us.

The present facilities at the Delta Museum are unable to accommodate them,” he said.

Massey recently expressed frustration to the Optimist about the mayor’s response, which in a reply letter stated, “Needless to say, a consideration of this magnitude is an extremely expensive undertaking. In as much as we would all love to have unlimited funds to retain our heritage monuments in Delta, we must husband the limited resources of taxpayers’ dollars.”

Jackson noted she forwarded Massey’s correspondence to parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz, who has been charged with the oversight of the museum, and municipal CEO George Harvie for their consideration.

Why should you help save the Bayside Squash Club?

The owner, who lives mostly in Beijing, wants the land rezoned from recreational to residential. Rezoning to build two homes on the lot was denied by council in February and the squash club was locked out of the building 2 days later. In August, Mr. Syed Shah applied on her behalf for a demolition permit to demolish Bayside.

Bayside is the only recreational facility in Boundary Bay. It has Delta’s only Squash Courts. It has Tsw’s only dog-friendly beach parking lot. It is the only place a beach side Paddle board/Kayak business could be located. Bayside has been a community recreation building since 1948. With Tsw’s growth, we need more recreational space, not less.

Come and help Save Bayside.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW Voting strategically isn’t quite as easy as it sounds.

After Stephen Harper’s Conservatives secured a majority government four years ago with less than 40 per cent of the popular vote, there’s been a move afoot to get “progressives” to buy into the notion of strategic voting this time around. It’s essentially an Anybody-but-Harper kind of movement, but I guess strategic voting has a more palatable ring to it.

The premise is that voters would coalesce around the candidate, from either the Liberals, NDP or Greens, that has the best shot at topping the Conservative in each riding. Given the New Democrats and Liberals combined for almost 50 per cent of the vote nationwide four years ago, the approach makes sense, at least numerically.

But in an election where, for the first time in Canadian history, three parties all have a legitimate shot at forming government, the task of selecting a single “progressive” candidate to line up behind is a difficult one indeed.

The NDP can rightly argue they are the official Opposition so they should be the party of choice when voters look to cast strategic ballots, while the Liberals have a history of electoral success on their side. It’s hard to make a case for the Greens, except in what’s likely a handful of ridings.

For strategic voting to work, voters have to determine which candidate has the best chance of topping the Conservatives and then all get behind him or her. The only problem is that it can be exceedingly difficult trying to identify that candidate.

I suspect going into the last federal election the Liberals would have been the most likely to attract strategic votes in Quebec, yet the NDP ended up claiming 59 of the 75 seats in that province. I guess voters could rely on polls to offer some guidance, although the provincial NDP might have something to say about that.

Strategic voting has been a bit of an afterthought in these parts where Conservatives (or similar right-of-centre parties) have held sway for decades.

Incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay got more than 50 per cent of the vote last time, so no amount of strategizing would have done her opponents any good.

It’s a different time with reconfigured riding boundaries, so if Findlay were to drop to somewhere in the low 40s, it would open the door ever so slightly for a coordinated effort to unseat her.

The not so insignificant hurdle for strategic voters, however, is agreeing on which candidate to get behind.

Rationing isn’t the answer to our summer water shortages STEVE GRAHAM

COMMUNITY COMMENT I am responding to a letter in the Optimist last month from Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver Utilities Committee, regarding the water supply shortage this summer. Mussatto argues, “The situation this year is a result of unprecedented weather conditions, not a deficiency in long-term planning.” In other words, if it had rained more there would be no problem.

However, we do know the entire West Coast has a Mediterranean climate (summer drought, winter rain) and Vancouver lies toward the wetter north end of it. [The average annual rainfall in LA is 15 inches, while it is 44 inches at YVR and 99 inches in North Vancouver.

Sunny Tsawwassen gets 34 inches.]

California has had a four-year drought in a drier climate, yet residents of LA are allowed to water their lawns three days per week, as can residents of the East Bay. A

state decree limits lawn watering to two days per week state-wide in the absence of local regulations.

Conversely, Vancouver has had a four-month drought and banned all lawn watering. Water use restrictions in Vancouver after a fourmonth drought are more severe than in LA after a four-year one.

As for planning, we are witnessing Metro Vancouver extend water supply services to the TFN and many other developments notwithstanding a severe current water shortage and chronic annual summer shortages. It also comes at a time when TransLink expects a medium-term population increase of another million people (for reasons unclear).

Mussatto describes the solution: “The good news is that this past decade, per capita water consumption has been falling even as the population has continued to grow, partly due to the seasonal water use restrictions.” Metro’s solution is rationing.

However, rationing is a blunt and inefficient tool for resource allocation. So why is rationing the preferred solution? A large river with generally good quality water flows through Metro Vancouver.

The regional district could meet its entire water demand all the time even if it never rained in

Vancouver.

As far as I can tell, the last major increment to Metro Vancouver’s water system was about 1965.

There is also information in the water supply section of its website regarding acquiring water from the Coquitlam reservoir. The document is dated 2005.

There was an agreement in 1987 to allow Metro Vancouver to have up to 7.88 m3/s of water (34 per cent of annual inflow). It says that discussions for expansion of this allocation were started in 1985, but were deferred. It appears that they are still not completed.

I would argue that a planning process that involves a 28-year discussion period is not going to be able to address Vancouver’s supply problems.

Metro Vancouver supplies high quality water at a good price. It has fine-tuned its system to maximize supply and quality. However, regional growth has caused demand to impact the system capacity, resulting in both chronic and severe rationing during the dry season.

Metro Vancouver needs to rethink its plan and start working to obtain more supply and storage.

This summer has demonstrated the limits of supply by rationing to a region with growing demand.

September 11, 2015 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Gov’t must come to refugees’ aid

Editor: Re: PM arrives in Ladner swinging, Sept. 9 Your front page story about the prime minister’s recent campaign stop in Ladner reports him stating the Conservatives had already pledged greater refugee assistance.

What your story leaves out is this is simply an empty election promise and does not address the current

refugee crisis.

Every year, the government estimates how many immigrants it plans to take in the year ahead. The quota has been stuck at between 11,000 and 14,000 refugees selected from abroad annually for years, including 2015.

What Stephen Harper promised, if re-elected, is to take in 10,000 more refugees from Iraq and Syria

There’s no need to justify your actions to the neighbourhood

Editor: Re: Four arborists deemed ‘Grove’ tree to be unsafe, letter to the editor, Sept. 9 I am on board with your opinions and request for an apology 100 per cent. I’ve recently had six sprinkler heads in my front lawn broken off by someone who feels I shouldn’t have an irrigation system in place during water restrictions.

This was done despite the fact my lawn is yellow and I have followed the water regulations to a T. I also feel you don’t need

to justify to me or anyone else in your neighbourhood or Tsawwassen in general why you want to take a tree down.

It’s your business and you shouldn’t have to worry about all the opinionated rants from everyone who seems to know better than you.

Live and let live, people, and stop judging without the facts. In fact, stop judging people period and just mind your business.

Can’t we all just get along?

Greg Martin

over four years.

While this number sounds impressive at first sight, as the UN refugee agency’s top representative in Canada Furio De Angelis noted, this number is actually within the annual quota numbers already established before the current crisis erupted.

Your story highlighted how the Conservatives take pride in freeing entre-

preneurs from the burden of red tape. The current government should take the same pride in coming to the aid of refugee children and their parents and cut the red tape involved in sponsoring Syrian refugees.

It needs to take decisive action now and commit to a minimum of 10,000 Syrians to be brought to Canada immediately.

Rev. Vida Jaugelis

It would be worth adding first aid training to high school curriculum

Editor: It goes without saying that having more first aid-trained citizens in our community is a good thing. I am sure we have all, at some point, either borne witness to an injury or suffered from an injury that required some help.

The older we get, the more difficult it is to find the time to get trained.

Here’s a thought: bring first aid to the school system.

I personally completed emergency first aid and standard first aid courses

HAIRCUTS FOR GUITAR MARTY A dear friend, local music teacher Guitar Marty, has been diagnosed with ALS. To help support him and his family we are going to open our shop on Sunday, September 13 and cut hair with 100% of proceeds going to Marty.

through the air cadet program and I have had the opportunity to use the skills I learned many times since then.

I realize the curriculum is already pretty jam packed but it would interesting to see if there would be some interest from Grades 10 to 12 students in a standard first aid course, perhaps as an elective. Or perhaps it could be incorporated into gym class.

It would also look great on a resume.

Letters to the Editor

Voter looks for opportunity to question Tory candidate

Editor: I understand that Kerry Lynne-Findlay is not participating in the all-candidates meeting on Saturday.

Does she think she doesn’t owe any accountability to the people of this riding? Does she think the environment isn’t important enough to merit a discussion?

I wish she was there. I have a few questions for her such as: When is the government going to step up and give veterans the support and

resources they need?

When is her government going to decide that looking after refugees is more important than bombing the heck out of their country?

When are they finally going to recognize the stupidity of continuing to criminalize marijuana, which can potentially leave otherwise law-abiding Canadians with a criminal record?

When are they going to stop picking on unions?

Unions are the only reason Canadians enjoy safe work-

places and make a decent wage. The continued use of foreign workers at low wages is proof of that.

When are they going to put money and resources back into our health care system?

When are they going to stop trying to destroy the CBC? I could go on but you get my drift. Candidates who are unwilling to face their constituency don’t deserve a vote and she isn’t going to get mine.

Jane McCall

TFN malls are leaving rest of us in the dark

Editor: Re: Tsawwassen Commons attracting new retailers, Aug. 28 “...independent retailers from North Surrey;” “national retailers joined by franchise owners and single independent shops;” “a group flying out from Boston for a site tour;” “a retailer looking at 15,000 square feet and very keen.”

These might add to the

22 retailers Tsawwassen Commons has named of the 100 it plans. Tsawwassen Mills, by contrast, has named only one of its 200. But rest assured, they open in a year!

Is this the best information available for South Delta’s retail merchants, aided by Delta, to plan commercial survival? Do TFN’s malls wish to blindside Delta and its retailers?

To cause wasteful redevelopment and business failures? I trust not.

But withholding information about mall tenants, it seems to me, could yield that result.

Wouldn’t it be better to seek some sort of coordinated “Retail Area Plan” between TFN’s malls and South Delta’s retail merchants and land owners?

A Warm and Joyful welcome to...

inister’s inute Elizabeth Northcott

All Saints Anglican Church

Let the bells ring “Let the bells ring and the banners fly…” Now there’s a quote that will make you think, “Where have I heard that phrase?” Worry no more, it was attributed to Foghorn Leghorn of Bugs Bunny fame!

Today at All Saints in Ladner we let the bells ring and pulled out all the banners to celebrate our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth as the longest reigning English monarch.

Without having a debate about monarchy or Elizabeth’s role as “Supreme Governor of the Church of England,” we celebrated her role as a leader on the world’s stage. We prayed for her, as we often do, that she might continue to lead with wisdom and compassion.

We also prayed for the leaders of our own community of Delta, that

together we would continue to build God’s kingdom – a place where there is justice and peace for all. We long for the day when there will be food on every table and safe shelter for every person in our community.

At All Saints we hear Jesus command to “feed my people” and we literally have made it a part of our ministry to offer a Community Meal once each month.

But like many communities of faith, we struggle with the logistics of keeping our building in tiptop shape.

If you would like to become a partner in this ministry, please join us for a gala dinner on Friday, Sept.

18 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Help in whatever way you can to “ring out the bells” and help a neighbour in need.

TFN named a finalist in Open for Business Awards Provincial program recognizes local governments that reduce cost and complexity of doing business in B.C. Tsawwassen First Nation was named as a finalist last week in the Open for Business Awards.

The provincial award competition recognizes municipalities and First Nations that undertake initiatives to reduce the cost and complexity of doing business in B.C. Applications are evalu-

ated based on how the communities enhance smallbusiness competitiveness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community and promote the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord.

The communities that best demonstrate they are operating within the spirit of the Small Business

Accord will receive $10,000 each to support the growth and success of local small businesses.

“TFN Economic Development Corporation was established to play a leadership role and facilitate the creation of a sustainable economy for Tsawwassen First Nation,” said Chief Bryce Williams.

“Supporting our small business entrepreneurs is one way to build our sustainable community.”

Williams said the award is instrumental in helping the TFN Economic Development Corporation continue to build its Small Business Grant Program for TFN members.

“I believe this recogni-

tion signals a significant development of the Tsawwassen First Nation,” said Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton.

“They are truly setting an example for many other aboriginal communities throughout British Columbia.”

This year, submissions were received from throughout the province. The list of finalists also includes Abbotsford, the TFN Chief City of Langley, Bryce the Nisga’a Williams Nation, Prince Rupert, Sidney and Surrey.

The winners will be announced on Sept. 22 in Vancouver.

Hiring climate is looking positive

It’s time to show you care

$25 rebate available

Delta and Richmond should see a respectable hiring climate for the fourth quarter of 2015, according to the latest Manpower employment outlook survey.

“Survey data reveals that 20 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (October to December), while three per cent anticipate cutbacks,” said Jeff Polkinghorne of Manpower’s Vancouver office.

Another 77 per cent of employers plan to maintain their current staffing levels.

“With seasonal variations removed from the data, Richmond-Delta’s fourth quarter net employment outlook of 16 per cent is a decrease of five percentage points when compared to the previous outlook,” Polkinghorne said. “It is also a three percentage point decrease from the outlook reported during the same time last year.

However, the outlook still indicates a respectable hiring pace for the upcoming months.”

et your runners on and help keep Terry’s dream alive.

The annual Terry Fox Run in South Delta, put on by the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen, is set for Sunday, Sept. 20 with 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre route options.

It’s a fun, all-ages family event, says Rotarian Sara Kirby.

“It’ll be a really fun community event. It’s always a hit in all of the communities across Canada and we’re just looking to keep Terry’s dream alive and keep that positive energy going,” she says.

The event, which has the Rotary Square at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall as its headquarters, is suitable for bikes, wheelchairs/strollers and rollerblades.

Dogs are welcome on leashes as well.

The 10-kilometre route has been changed for this year with more of it going through Boundary Bay Regional Park, “making it a little more relaxing and more enjoyable without the cars and the traffic,” Kirby explains.

Before people head off for their run there will be a local fitness instructor leading a warmup along with music that will help get everybody geared up, says Kirby.

Afterwards there will be some food, water and a gettogether, with some draw

prizes as well.

About 350 took part in last year’s South Delta Terry Fox Run. “We basically doubled our number from the year before, so we had a lot more runners and walkers out, which is excellent to see. We had a beautiful

day.”

Registration starts at 9 a.m. at Rotary Square; the run starts at 10 a.m.

For more information, or to register in advance, visit www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/delta-south-bc.

The local event also has a Facebook page at https://

www.facebook.com/ events/822250391194364/.

The annual Terry Fox Run, which has raised millions for cancer research, was formed to commemorate Fox’s 1980 Marathon of Hope.

• The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen also has guest

speaker Bill Vigars giving a talk about Terry Fox on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 8 a.m. at the Beach Grove Golf Club. It is open to the public.

Vigars’ website notes he “acted as Terry Fox’s public relations organizer, his close friend, and confidante

on the heroic Marathon of Hope.”

Kirby says Vigars is an excellent speaker.

“He’s got a lot of touching and a lot of really heartwarming stories about the actual event and how Terry had touched so many lives,” she says.

Final market of the year set for Sunday BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

The last Ladner Village Market of 2015 takes place Sunday.

“It’s hard to believe it’s the final market of the season already. The summer goes very quickly,” says Tracey McKnight, one of

the organizers.

The popular annual event includes a mix of vendors, local merchants and music to draw big crowds to its seven dates over the course of the summer.

This year has seen about 40 new artisans/vendors attend the market, says McKnight.

She did note it’s been a challenging year for some of the farmers who attend the market due to the extreme dryness of their fields.

The market spans three blocks on 48th Avenue, from Elliott Street to Delta Street, and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Musical guests will include Wes Mackey, who “learned to play the guitar from the seasoned old blues players of the South where he was born and raised,” and the Dubious Brothers.

Next year will mark the 20th season of the market.

“We’re certainly going strong,” says McKnight.

Guild marks triple celebration

Local art group has special event planned for Sept. 24 at Gallery 1710 BY

NOREEN M. FAIRWEATHER Optimist contributor

This September the South Delta Artists Guild has three events to celebrate, and one is the direct result of the other two. First, on Sept. 14, a challenging and evocative new show, All About Delta, opens at Gallery 1710, when artists look at the past, present and possibly future history of this part of B.C. All About Delta runs through Sunday, Sept. 27, Thursdays to Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Paintings by the guild’s many talented and recognized artists include work in acrylic, oils, watercolour, collage, pen and ink, plus the occasional newly selfinvented way of expression as artists expand their visual explorations.

Both the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association and the Ladner Business Association have expressed interest in All

About Delta and their representatives, guild sponsors, special guests and members of the public visiting the show are encouraged to vote for eight paintings that

best represent and promote Delta. The winners will go on printed greeting cards, which will be available at Gallery 1710 and throughout Delta.

The second cause for celebration is that September marks the guild’s 40th anniversary. One of the original seven women (and the youngest) who regis-

tered the society back in 1975, Margaret Scullion, continues her support as an honourary member.

In those early years members met to paint and show their work wherever they could: their homes, rented school rooms, church halls, but nowhere permanent. Running a voluntary visual arts society under those circumstances was difficult and occasionally frustrating.

When a former fire hall in Beach Grove became a community facility known as the Phoenix Club, the guild was assigned limited time and space to share with other groups.

The third event being celebrated this month took place 15 years ago, in September of 2000, when Mayor Lois Jackson opened the Kiwanis Longhouse in Tsawwassen as the official home of the South Delta Artists Guild. This happy event came about thanks to years of campaigning

10th Anniversary

by guild members and the building of Tsawwassen’s new library, which removed that function from the Longhouse and opened up an ideal space for both gallery and studio functions.

To meet strict demands set by Delta council, the guild launched a successful $25,000 campaign to cover basic and anticipated expenses, then signed a joint legal agreement, the result of which is all part of this month’s celebration.

Everyone is invited to enjoy a special reception on Thursday, Sept. 24, at Gallery 1710, from 4 to 6.30 p.m., to mark All About Delta, the 40th anniversary of the South Delta Artists Guild and the 15th anniversary of achieving a home base in the Kiwanis Longhouse.

Gallery 1710 is at 171056th St., Tsawwassen, adjacent to the South Delta Recreation Centre. Visit www.southdeltaartistsguild. com for further information.

Hitting the road for a northern trip BY

wo old timers slouch in chairs outside the saloon, hats clamped low on their foreheads, stubbled chins and dusty boots.

“Guess I should head home,” one drawls.

“Why do you want to do that?” questions the other as they settle more comfortably in their seats.

Nothing happens in a hurry in Chicken, Alaska.

When friends ask us along on a northern driving trip, we jump at the chance. With refrains of, “There are strange things done in the midnight sun …” in our heads, we plan a week-long circle route from Whitehorse, Yukon to Dawson City, into Alaska over the Top of the World highway, back into Canada through Kluane National Park, to Haines and Skagway, and back up to Whitehorse.

A saunter along the Yukon River in Whitehorse brings us to the SS

Klondike. Of the many paddle wheelers plying the upper Yukon from 1929 to 1936, she was the largest.

Passengers had staterooms on the upper deck while provisions destined for Dawson City crammed the lower one. On the return run, she carried ore from the mines.

The trip from Whitehorse to Dawson took one-and-ahalf days. We could drive the same distance in seven hours but take our time as summer daylight lasts about 19 hours.

By Lake Laberge, I recite Robert Service’s epic The Cremation of Sam McGee. It is hungry work and at a roadside cafe we indulge in a cinnamon bun the size of my head. We enjoy the quiet solitude at a turquoise lake and browse the rustic artifacts around the grounds of the Lodge at Moose Creek.

Dawson City fascinates us with its Klondike Gold Rush history. There are no paved streets or concrete sidewalks because the permafrost would cause them

to heave. Buildings a century or more old are either decrepit, fixed up just on the front and a ruin otherwise, have sod roofs sprouting grasses and flowers, or are lovingly refurbished.

A side trip from Dawson takes us to Tombstone Territorial Park, part way up the Dempster Highway.

The length of this lonely road running through the tundra all the way to Inuvik is akin to driving on a gravel road from Vancouver to Banff.

After leaving Dawson City by ferry across the

REGENCY FACTORY

Skagway. The cruise along the fiord is a smooth glide past dark, densely forested mountains.

It is late when we arrive in Skagway and its historic main street is deserted. Not so in the morning. Instead of mingling with thousands from the cruise ships in the harbour, we explore the isolated Dyea town site. In Gold Rush times, Dyea’s proximity to the start of the Chilkoot Trail made it a bustling port for Klondike stampeders. Now reclaimed by the forest, there is hardly any evidence of the town.

We leave the coastal rain forest behind and climb up to the alpine tundra of the White Pass. The many glacier blue lakes and steep mountains gift us with eye candy at every turn. Our explorations end when we spot the world’s largest weather vane, an actual DC3 aircraft, at the Whitehorse airport. Like the old codger in Chicken, it’s time we head home.

Yukon River, we explore the paddlewheel graveyard.

Here, once stately ships slowly disintegrate into matchsticks and rust on the river bank.

Roadside on the Top of the World Highway, we savour the windswept emptiness and the distant view of our highway undulating over dark green mountains.

Crossing the border at Poker Creek ushers us into Alaska and it is a downhill run to Old Chicken. We browse the General Store, the hat-festooned saloon and learn that only a few of

the 50-plus residents of the town stay for the winter.

At the utilitarian crossroad town of Tok, we head south on the Alaska Highway, cross back into Canada and skirt the edge of Kluane National Park.

Pink wildflowers and burgundy barley grass proliferate along the road and the towering St. Elias Mountains hem brilliant blue Kluane Lake.

The Kluane Museum of Natural History at Burwash Landing, with its excellent dioramas of local wildlife, is a welcome leg stretch. In the traditional First Nations fish camp of Klukshu, we wander past ramshackle cabins and bear proof fish drying enclosures.

Walking through a virtually empty campground brings us to a boardwalk flanking a narrow canyon with the roaring Million Dollar Falls. Some bear sightings cause much excitement and a flurry of photo snapping.

Heading further south, we cross back into Alaska to catch the ferry to

Well on Your Way September is a big month. Kids go back to school and routines that were lost over the lazy, hazy days of summer are found again.

And, what’s one of the biggest routines to be addressed and reinstated?

Fitness.

Fall is my busiest time of year. In fact, I am far busier fielding emails and phone calls in fall than I am in January. Most people use fall as the time to get back on track and a lot of you will either hire a personal trainer, or join a class, to help you cross off your to-do fitness goals.

First off, good for you.

I love it when people go after their goals and I love it when they are honest, open and are willing to say, “Help,” and hire a professional to guide them.

Having been a trainer for 20 years now (Gulp, has it really been two decades already?), I know a thing or two about people hiring trainers.

In fact, I want to share with you four very important tips that will help you get the most out of your sessions, your workouts and

your time with your trainer.

First, be specific. When your trainer has their first session with you, and reviews your health history, goals and reasons why you hired them, give them specific goals you want to meet.

On my Health History sheet, my clients are asked what their top three fitness goals are and 80 per cent of them list lose weight, tone and feel better.

Now, I think these are awesome goals, but they do not give me, as a trainer, a lot of information to start building a plan. So, I flesh out exactly what they want.

For example, lose weight is a very broad goal. So, while they are warming up I ask how much weight they would like to lose, time frame to lose weight, how hard are they willing to work to lose the weight, what are you currently eating, how many hours a week do they have available to workout and when was the last time they were at that weight?

Each of these questions gives me some valuable information to help me design their weight loss program.

Second, communicate with your trainer. If you like something, or don’t like something, or if it hurts, if it’s too heavy, too light, too easy or too hard, let your trainer know.

Yes, sometimes we will completely ignore you — but that’s only because we know you can do it and are trying to convince you of the same fact. But, when we are starting with a new client we have no idea what’s going on inside your body, unless you say something. It’s as your trainer works with you they start to learn about you, your body and your fitness level.

So, if you hate an exercise, or if it hurts, and you don’t tell your trainer you could potentially see this exercise pop up over and over again in future sessions.

This, in turn, will make you dread exercise, or worse injure yourself and make you hate the whole process of getting fit. And this, my friend, is what we call a buzz kill in the gym.

As a side note, if you say you hate an exercise just because it’s really hard and kicks your ass, we can see through that kind of malarkey and will most likely give you 10 more reps just to teach you a lesson.

Third, please do your homework. Most people see a trainer once a week and research dictates that three to six times a week is needed for change and progress to happen.

Your trainer knows this. That is why she or he kindly asks every training appointment how your

home workouts went.

I like to tell my clients they can’t cram for their training appointment. It may have worked in school for tests, but your body does not work the same way. It needs progressive overload, and on a regular basis, to adapt and see change.

For your trainer, this will also keep them revved up. Your trainer will work harder to get you in shape if they see you are willing to work for it. If you aren’t, then essentially you have hired yourself a “friend” to hang out with you in the gym every week.

Fourth, recognize that we aren’t miracle workers.

Progress and change takes time so don’t expect to hire a trainer, or start a class, and see dramatic change immediately.

It takes work, and at times you may even feel like you’re on an uphill grind to hell.

Keep persevering, though, because soon the clouds will break and soon you will discover some muscle that wasn’t there before, lose some inches you’ve been trying to get rid of and re-gain some of that energy from your youth.

September 11, 2015 The Delta Optimist A21 Death & Dying

Reluctance to talk about end-of-life care

Advance care planning can result in more positive experiences for patients, families and health professionals A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine earlier this year identifies significant barriers to discussions about care for seriously ill patients in Canadian hospitals.

The study, conducted with 1,256 clinicians at 13 hospitals in five provinces, suggests that patient and family factors are a major contributor to a lack of important conversations about end-of-life care.

“They (physicians, nurses and medical residents) perceive that family members often have difficulty accepting a loved one’s poor prognosis, and that they had difficulty understanding how certain treatments may positively or negatively affect their care,” says Dr. John You, a principal investigator in the research project.

“That makes it challenging to have conversations or make decisions about treatment.”

The top three barriers identified by health professionals were family members’ difficulty accepting

loved one’s poor prognosis, family members’ difficulty understanding limitations/ complications of life-sustaining therapies and lack of agreement among family members about the goals of care.

Goals of care is a term used to describe discussions between clinicians, patients and family members to establish a plan of care in a hospital setting. For example, deciding whether to use life-sustaining treatments such as a ventilator in certain situations. Reluctance to discuss these details likely reflects understandably high levels of anxiety or even denial about confronting death.

The study adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests health care teams and individuals need guidance to steer them through these important discussions, as well as tools that normalize conversations when people are still healthy.

Dr. You believes that advance care planning, a process of communicating

your wishes for future care and naming a substitute decision maker who can speak for you if you cannot, could provide an excellent first step.

“Advance care planning, which ideally happens well before you are seriously ill, can result in more positive end-of-life experiences for patients, families and health professionals,” says Dr. You. Recent polls suggest 60 per cent of Canadians want to have advance care planning conversations with their doctors, however a large number of health professionals don’t feel equipped to have these important discussions.

In order to have effective discussions about this topic, clinicians need to be highly skilled communicators; this will require better training and tools/conversation guides for clinicians.

Two new studies are currently underway to develop and test tools for both advance care planning and goals of care discussions in both primary care and acute

A22 The Delta Optimist September 11, 2015 Death & Dying

Advocates should lobby for more palliative care

BY NANCY MACEY Optimist contributor

“There is a time to be born and a time to die.”

While we can’t stop death, how and when we die is one of the most controversial issues in front of society today.

“Right to Die” and “Die with Dignity” advocacy groups compete with the movement to build a national comprehensive program that ensures every Canadian has access to quality hospice palliative care.

Over the last 10 years, 30 national organizations that are members of the Quality End-of-Life Care Coalition of Canada have worked together to improve the end-of-life care for all Canadians.

The goals are to improve access to care, increase the number of professionals and volunteers with the skills to provide high quality end-of-life care, promote research that will improve care, support family members who care for people who are dying and educate

Canadians about their choices at end of life.

Yet in February of this year, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously struck down the ban on providing a doctor-assisted death to mentally competent but suffering and irremediable (irreversible) patients.

One wonders if the courts and politicians have defined what “suffering” means? Is the cry for people wanting more control over their dying due to a lack of access to skilled hospice palliative care?

The focus for politicians and advocacy groups should be to concentrate on advocating for more palliative care programs to allow people to live their lives with comfort, meaning, dignity and hope until the moment they die.

Some people who come into hospice care talk about wanting doctor-assisted dying, but when they receive skilled palliative care, they find peace and comfort, and no longer wish to end life this way.

In a palliative care set-

ting, the focus of care is relief of suffering — physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial and spiritual distress.

People have a chance to state their preferences for treatment, place limits on that treatment (no food or hydration), express wishes where they want to die and what they want done when death is expected, including organ donation.

Palliative care physicians have the knowledge and skills to manage pain and distressing symptoms.

With the use of high doses of opioids, most pain, breathlessness and other distressing symptoms can be controlled.

Doctors use palliative sedation as an option for people whose symptoms cannot be managed by any other means.

The goal of palliative sedation is to relieve suffering by controlling symptoms through sedation, not shorten a person’s life.

Nancy Macey is the executive director of the Delta Hospice Society.

Will ensures your wishes are carried out after your death

A will allows an individual to make decisions that will be carried out after their death.

If you die without a will, the laws of your province or territory will determine what happens to your assets.

This checklist offers issues to keep in mind when preparing or updating your will: • Who will you appoint to settle your estate (executor or liquidator)? Do you want to appoint a replacement in case your first choice is unable to do it?

• Who will receive your estate (beneficiaries)? Are there items like jewelry, clothing or art that you want someone in particular cave batvaca tion d In the rs spen Cuba

to have?

• If the main beneficiaries die before you, who will you name instead to receive your estate?

• Who have you named as beneficiaries in your insurance and pension plans?

• Do you want to leave anything to a charity?

• Should anything you’re leaving to your children go directly to them or be held in trust until they reach a certain age?

• If you have minor children, do you want to name a guardian or tutor?

• Do you want to include instructions about your funeral? How about other directions, such as where you would like to be bur-

• Do you need to consider estate planning? For instance, if you have a family business, how do you want to pass it on?

• If you are establishing a trust, have you decided on a trustee(s)?

• Will you prepare a power of attorney or mandate for decisions about care or property if you are incapacitated?

Having a will can help protect your estate and those you care about. It is worth consulting a legal professional to guide you in creating or updating your will.

It’s a better way to give to charities of your choice

BY RAY MOSCHUK Optimist contributor

Government cutbacks at all levels have meant that charitable organizations are facing increasing pressure to find private sources of funding.

Canadians care about those less fortunate. Did you know, annually, over $5 billion is contributed to charities by Canadians?

To encourage charitable giving, donations made by taxpayers to registered charitable organizations are eligible for tax credits. With planning, tax savings can fund more than 40 per cent of charitable gifts donated.

Larger donations provide even greater relative tax savings because more of the gift may qualify for a higher tax credit.

So how does it work?

By using a life insurance policy, you create a donation large enough to meet important long-term goals of your charity of choice.

These goals could be the creation of a scholarship fund, the construction of a building, the purchase of

The program repeats on Monday, Sept. 14 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Tsawwassen Library.

Mother Goose helps babies develop a variety of skills

How can a commitment of a mere hour a week enhance your relationship with your child?

The successful ParentChild Mother Goose program shares traditional rhymes, songs and stories as tools to strengthen the bond between parent and child, newborn to 15 months.

This established program helps parents gain confidence while their child develops language, cognitive and social skills. An added benefit is the opportunity for the adults, over

snacks, to build a network of friendships and support.

If you would like to take part, new sessions of this free interactive program begin mid-September.

There is still space available in both North Delta and Ladner. Contact your local Delta library to register.

Due to funding, this program is open to Delta residents only. Snacks are provided.

Sessions will be held on the following dates: Ladner: Thursdays, Sept. 17 to Nov. 19, noon to 1 p.m. at

Holifields hold fundraiser to benefit KidSport

Donation in memory of late son and father will help local children with the cost of sport registration fees Children of Delta have the opportunity to play thanks to Michelle Holifield and her sister Sandra McLeod, who organized a fundraiser for KidSport Delta in memory of Kirk Holifield who died tragically in 2007.

Attending the fundraiser were many of Kirk’s hockey buddies as he was an avid hockey player who at one time played on five teams.

The Landing Pub in Ladner, which hosted the event and was a place Kirk often frequented, suggested KidSport Delta as the charity as that would have been important to Kirk. A couple of years prior to his death, Kirk had a birthday party at The Landing Pub and requested that instead of gifts his friends to donate to KidSport.

The recent event raised $700, which will help three children play organized sport.

KidSport, the charitable arm of Sport BC, provides grants to financially disadvantaged children to cover the costs of sport registration fees. KidSport removes the financial barriers that prevent some children from playing sport.

Requests for funding have grown substantially each year since KidSport Delta’s inception in 2011.

“KidSport Delta has had more requests for funding this fall than any other time,” said Carlene Lewall, chair of KidSport Delta. “In fact, the 58 requests received during July, August and September totaling $15,000 has almost equaled all last year’s requests.”

Lewall said the organization is asking people to consider donating, either personally or through a business or an event.

“This fall’s requests have emptied our funds and we need to replenish so to continue to fund the children of Delta,” she said.

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon declared the week of Sept. 6 to 13 KidSport Week in British Columbia.

“We believe in the many benefits that come from an active lifestyle and share KidSport’s commitment to ensuring that every child in this province has the opportunity to play organized sport,” said Peter Fassbender, minister of community sport and cultural development. “By proclaiming this week, we are bringing awareness to this important cause and supporting the work of KidSport across B.C.” KidSport Week has made a comeback after a 15-year absence to help profile the importance of organized sport in a child’s life.

“We would like to help an additional 500 kids to play as a result of our efforts during KidSport Week,” said Pete Quevillon, director of KidSport BC. “We also want to profile the incredible volunteers, corporate partners and athlete ambassadors that help KidSport every day.”

“Without KidSport, I would not have been able to experience the life lessons that I did from my sport and I would not have become an Olympian because I would have missed out on some of the most crucial years of my swimming career,” said

swimmer Richard Hortness.

“I am eternally grateful for the generosity of others because if it was not for their donations I would not be the person that I am today.”

to children 18 years and younger who are facing financial barriers preventing them from taking part in organized sport. Grants average $300 and are dedicated to assisting with the costs of organized sport registration fees. In 2014, KidSport BC provided over $1.6 million in grants to more than 7,400 kids.

There is nothing better for a child’s mental and

physical growth than sport and physical activity. Their participation helps them perform better in school, develop stronger social skills and build stronger and healthier bodies.

It allows them to develop healthy habits, self-esteem and leadership skills.

Born January 27, 1924 in Fedorah, Alberta, Mrs. Nadine Fick (née Ozipko) unexpectedly passed away in Kelowna, BC on September 2, 2015 at the age of 91. Nadine is survived by her loving children Marlene Kenakin and Debra (Mark) Boyle; cherished grandchildren Leanne and Andrew Kenakin, Karalene, Mekenna and Connelly Boyle, and Jenna Dunsby; her sister Anne Steffin; and her devoted companion Glenn Brown.

She is predeceased by her husband, Walter Fick; daughter Karen Dunsby; parents Mary and Peter Ozipko; sister Sally Skoreyko and brother Paul Ozipko. Nadine was known for her admirable strength of character and demonstrated a work ethic that was motivational to us all. She was a tenacious worker whose hands and mind were seldom idle. Whether she was knitting slippers, sewing shoe bags, mending garments for her family, cooking delicious soups, making her infamous perogies, tending to her garden or keeping sharp with her love of board and card games, her strength of spirit and compassion was an inspiration to all those who had the privilege of knowing her. She genuinely cared for people and spent much of her time staying connected to her countless friends and listening to their stories and sharing hers. Her family and friends were the threads that she wove together to make up the fabric of her life. She was a dear and sweet Nana to so many. A Memorial Service will be held 1pm Saturday, September 19th, 2015 at Victory Memorial Park at 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, British Columbia V4P 1P3. All are welcome to attend in honour of Nadine’s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Canadian Cancer Society at www.cancer.ca in memory of her daughter, Karen. The family would like to thank all those whom she held near and dear to her heart for their friendship and support. She will be truly missed by all.

CARD OF THANKS

THANKS FOR THE RESCUE...

AUGUST 31ST, 2015 I remember everything leading up to falling into unconsciousness, but only pieces of what followed as the Paramedics arrived. It’s a very scary feeling drifting in and out of consciousness for 6 hours; but I remember feeling “SAFE” in their Care.

Thank you for the RESCUE Delta Fire, Ambulance and Hospital, Kim Muzyka
