PHOTO COURTESY OF DELTA POLICE

Nordel Way is the corridor with the most collisions in Delta. This serious two-car crash occurred on Nordel Way a number of years ago and the photo is being released to underscore why police are focusing enforcement efforts there.

Police focus on top crash sites

Almost twice as many tickets issued so far this year IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Delta police released its top 10 list of collision locations in Delta this week as it continues efforts to bring awareness to the motoring public.

Statistics for the past three years show Nordel Way is a major concern in North Delta while highway intersections are trouble in South Delta.

DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said there are

actually six areas along Nordel Way that police have highlighted, but in the interests of keeping the list as a top 10, a few locations were combined.

“We are leveraging technology to ensure we consistently focus our enforcement efforts on the high collision spots,” said Sgt. Sukh Sidhu, head of the department’s traffic unit.

The number of tickets issued in the first quarter of 2018 is up substantially — 2,904 in 2018 compared to 1,578 in 2017.

“Honestly, we’d prefer not to hand out any tickets,” added Sidhu. “But it’s an important tool for us to influence driver behaviour and ultimately prevent collisions. I’d far rather give you a ticket than tell your family you’ve been involved in a serious accident.”

Leykauf said enforcement efforts are beginning to pay off as the number of collisions in the first quarter of 2018 is down 17 per cent from the same period last year.

Staff stretched, union says CUPE president tells Delta school trustees that every area has taken hits SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Frontline workers still don’t have assurances about their jobs in the Delta School District.

That’s what CUPE Local 1091 president Patti Price told the Delta board of education Tuesday during a public input meeting for the district’s proposed 2018/19 operating budget.

Containing a surplus of just under $57,000, the draft budget will not see any staffing cuts. What’s more, unlike previous years, the district will be adding some staff, including eight full-time equivalent teaching positions as well as more educational supports.

However, Price said every area of service has taken hits over the last few years and staffing numbers are stretched.

“The stress that these reductions have caused are evident in the number of employees who are away on medical or WorkSafe leave and from the number of employees who are choosing to retire earlier than expected because of job insecurity and dissatisfaction,” she said.

“Custodial and education assistant areas remain a great concern to many. Staff in both these areas PHOTO BY SANDOR GYARMATI are stretched to CUPE Local 1091 president Patti Price says years of cuts have max capacity and put stress on district employees. we can see how Parent Samanta district needs to ensure it lack of staffing and Palomino was the only spends its funding fairly replacements has continamong all the student ued to take its toll on these other person to speak on the budget, saying the groups, including those workers,” she said.

with special needs or requiring supports.

Palomino noted understaffing when it comes to educational assistants has been a problem for students and their parents.

Factors that contributed to this year’s better budget outlook include an increase in per pupil funding and enrollment funding, while the district is projecting an enrollment increase of around 50 students.

The small surplus is a sharp contrast to budgets of recent years that resulted in significant cuts, including educational assistants and custodial staff. Last year, the district had a shortfall of just over $2 million, while the previous year it faced a $3.38 million deficit.

The board will discuss the operating budget on April 24.

10 Delta officers are added to Alexa’s Team IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Ten Delta police officers were recognized Tuesday morning at the Justice Institute in New Westminster for their efforts in taking impaired drivers off the road.

They join more than 2,000 RCMP and municipal police officers from across the province who are now a part of Alexa’s Team named for Alexa Middelaer, who at the age of four was killed by an impaired driver in 2008 while feeding a horse with her aunt at the side of a road in East Ladner.

This May marks the 10th anniversary of her tragic passing.

The Delta police officers named to Alexa’s Team this year removed 210 impaired drivers from Delta roads in 2017, said

Delta police officers named to Alexa’s Team include (from left): Const. Grayson Smith, Const. Josh Lehbauer, Const. Jim Ingram, Const. Emily Wawruck, Supt. Harj Sidhu, Const. Harprit Hair, Const.

“Those are 210 drivers who were at significant

risk of being in a crash, and injuring or even killing themselves and other innocent people,” Sidhu said.

Const. Taylor Armstrong led the local contingent by taking 38 impaired drivers off the road.

Other DPD officers rec-

ognized include: Const.

Mathew Taylor.

Laurel and Michael Middelaer, Alexa’s parents, have worked tirelessly to bring awareness to, and incite change around, impaired driving laws since their daughter’s death.

They have spearheaded changes that have resulted in stiffer penalties in an effort to reduce the number of drunk drivers on our roadways.

In order to qualify to be named to Alexa’s Team, a police officer has to have taken at least 12 impaired drivers off the road in the previous year.

Tsawwassen’s Taylin McGill is Whitecaps’ first Kid Captain Champion Child develops close bond with soccer player IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

A meeting at BC Children’s Hospital has blossomed into a unique friendship for Tsawwassen’s Taylin McGill and Jake Nerwinski of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

In her role as BC Children’s Hospital’s Champion Child, McGill had the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing people. Last year when Nerwinski and several other Whitecaps players paid a visit to the hospital, the pair met and instantly struck a connection.

“He was so kind and helpful and he made sure that I was involved and included,” said Taylin. “He asked lots of questions about me and was very interested in what I have been through. Every single time we see each other he gives me a big hug and is very happy to see me.”

As an infant, Taylin was diagnosed with salmonella bacterial meningitis, which led to her overcom-

Nerwinski said he was truly inspired when he met Taylin and her family and learned about their story.

“Taylin is a really strong individual,” he said. “I remember her bubbly personality and her smile.

She was just so excited to

meet all the players. What struck me as well was her resilience. She never gave up. Her family was with her every step of the way.

I find that so inspiring.

Being on the Whitecaps has given me the opportunity to meet families like this.”

The pair stayed in touch during the off-season with

Nerwinski saying he would get her his jersey after their first home game.

But the Whitecaps went a step further in naming Taylin the club’s inaugural Kid Captain for the March 4 home contest.

“I was speechless when he gave it [the jersey] to me. I have worn his jersey so many times to show it off,” recalled Taylin. “Being the very first Kid Captain is so awesome. The Whitecaps make me feel so loved and so special.

We have been fans of the Whitecaps for a very long time so it is cool to get to know all of the people who work with the Whitecaps personally.”

The friendship has even extended beyond to now include Nerwinski’s family as his grandmother is knitting Taylin a scarf in Whitecaps’ colours.

“Seeing her bright smile was all the thanks I needed when I handed Taylin my jersey,” said Nerwinski.

Getting in shape for cancer ride also allows rider to continue donating blood to kids IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Greg Nicholls is looking for your support in his efforts in the fight against cancer.

The South Delta resident has joined Team Brainiacs, one of the largest teams in the Ride to Conquer Cancer and the top fundraiser so far this year with $121,000.

The Brainiacs were founded in 2009 by four brain cancer survivors and have raised more than $2 million since that time.

The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an epic, twoday cycling event taking place Aug. 25 and 26. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the 200-kilometre ride benefits the BC Cancer Foundation.

“The ride will be a challenge in a number of ways, but with my bike, my helmet and the community’s generosity, a real impact will be made,” Nicholls said.

“I donate blood platelets every two weeks because I learned that my platelets

Nicholls said part of the screening process includes doing a blood pressure check and last August it was found to be high, so if he still wanted to donate blood platelets to save lives of children who have cancer, he needed to get his blood pressure down.

“Having also vol-

unteered on the Ride to Conquer Cancer MotoCrew, I was exposed to a sport that I used to enjoy greatly, so to get me back into a healthy position, I decided to set a goal to join the ride as a cyclist and to begin cycling to work from Ladner to Downtown Vancouver, a 62-kilometre round trip,” he explained.

“It started with shorter block of travel, about 10 kilometres each way, or 20-kilometre round trip, as

I used transit for the rest as I needed to get my butt used to being in a saddle again and the rest of my body needed to get eased into it too, but now I am up to the full 62 kilometres on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, rain or shine.”

Within three months his blood pressure dropped to a normal level. His resting heart rate is also down, plus he lost some weight and inches off his waist.

“While I am grateful that I am getting healthier and can continue donating blood platelets, I still have this goal to join the Ride to Conquer Cancer and with that comes a fundraising challenge,” he said.

Nicholls held a fundraising event late last month at the Ladner Save-OnFoods that raised $420.

So far he has raised $970 of his $3,200 goal. He has another event planned for Save-On this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

of the

Week

Say hello to Fiona Fiona is a “seven” year old chi mix who weighs ten pounds.This sweet girl is medium energy and is very shy at first. It takes some time for her to warm up and become comfortable so she will need a patient home that will help her boost her confidence. Fiona loves females and is fairly quick at opening up to them but has some trust issues with males. It can take a while for her to open up to them, but once she does, she gets up on the couch and sits with them and loves their attention. She has been socialized with both big and little dogs and we have had no problems, and cats seem acceptable too! A home with another dog is best suited for Fiona as it will help her gain confidence. Fiona’s fosters have been working with her and children, and did have Fiona around their four year old nephew. They noticed that she barks every time because of her shy nature, so a home with older children who are better able to understand her is more suitable for her. Fiona has been able to spend her nights on the couch (where she prefers!) and not have a single accident. She is great on leash and also food motivated which helps with training. She does know her basic commands but they need some fine tuning. As with all of our dogs she is spayed and up to date on her shots. If you think you may be the perfect forever home that this little princess is looking for, please email us at pbandchi@gmail.com or fill out an application at www.pbandchi.com

A rise in assaults and thefts over/under $5,000 were a couple of highlights from the February crime statistics released at last week’s Delta police board meeting.

DPD deputy Chief Norm Lipinski reported a 45 per cent increase from January in total assaults (common, weapon and aggravated).

“We had a number of youth-related assaults, some that included weapons,” Lipinski said.

“There is no trend. We are on top of it, but for some reason there was a bit of a spike.”

Lipinski said the 22 per cent increase in theft over/under $5,000 was largely due to eight high-end bikes reported stolen.

“We are working on a couple of leads in relation to that,” he said.

Injury motor vehicle incidents were also up 27 per cent compared to January with 57 reported injuries.

Lipinski said poor weather in the spring is a

probable cause why the accident numbers are up.

Board member Angela Kaiser asked what types of injuries were being seen and what was being done to reduce injuryrelated crashes.

“Generally speaking, they are more so on the soft tissue and that is considered an injury,” said Lipinski. “We do have high accident locations. It’s awareness, it’s enforcement and it’s engineering. We [traffic members] certainly get together to talk about more attention on enforcement or work with city engineers to look at correcting whatever may be there.”

Later in the discussion, board member Hari Aroon praised the department for keeping the community informed and updated on the recent armed robbery to a business in Ladner, but he wondered why the business was not named in the press.

“We tend to not want to draw attention in fairness to the proprietor or to the owner,” said Lipinski.

Murphy’s Law

T

TED MURPHY

he optics don’t look good.

The idea of offering tax breaks to lure economic development has been around for almost as long as taxes, so the fact Delta has created zones in an effort to spur such activity is hardly ground breaking. What you give up in the short-term is more than made up for in the long run, and when you factor in new jobs as well as other spin-off benefits, it’s difficult to find fault with the approach.

Difficult, but not impossible, as the Gateway casino proposal is showing us.

The purpose of the tax break is to tip the scales in Delta’s favour by providing an incentive for a business that might be considering a number of possible locations or might be wavering on whether to pull the trigger on a particular project. It’s that little — or not so little — inducement that’s supposed to seal the deal.

The casino proposed for the Delta Town & Country Inn property stands to benefit from these tax exemptions to the tune of as much as $700,000, yet I think it’s safe to say those savings had absolutely no bearing on the project.

Firstly, Delta was chosen as the host local government by the B.C. Lottery Corporation so it’s not like Gateway had a choice or we were competing with neighbouring jurisdictions for the business. What’s more, I’m sure the proponent didn’t require that extra financial incentive because owning a casino in the Lower Mainland has, after all, proven to be a licence to print money.

To be fair to Delta, the tax exemption initiative is a one-size-fits-all kind of thing so if a project is in the designated zone and meets the qualifications, it gets the breaks, regardless if it needs them or its development decisions are being influenced by them. On the surface it doesn’t make a lot of sense to give a casino those kinds of benefits, but I guess you can’t cherry pick when it comes to the legislation.

It’s similar to what’s happening in Tsawwassen where redevelopment plans for the Town Centre Mall qualify for tax exemptions even though the owner had been looking at a refresh before the incentive program came into effect.

From a purely financial standpoint, a casino is good for Delta, breaks or no breaks, but the unnecessary relief gives opponents one more reason to dislike the application.

Pipeline dispute creates divide that will be impossible to cross

I

n recent memory, no single issue has divided Canadians in quite the way the Kinder Morgan (KM) Trans Mountain pipeline expansion has. With both sides claiming the truth as their ally, it can be difficult to sort through the noise and our leaders have not made it easier.

For context, on Jan. 6 of this year, a tanker collision resulted in an oil spill the size of Paris in the richest fishing waters of China. While the ship burned for a week, spilling 960,000 barrels, the Chinese government tried to claim there was no large oil spill for at least three days.

Luckily, the tanker was carrying condensate, an “ultra refined” petroleum product that is lighter and less ecologically threatening than KM’s diluted bitumen or other crude oils associated with the worst global environmental disasters.

Alberta’s provincial government (in a similar fashion to the City of Delta’s flashing readerboards crying for you to “get the facts” on the proposed George Massey Tunnel replacement) has gone to the court of public opinion with a video on the supposed “facts” about the pipeline expansion. In the video, they provided no sources and arbitrarily increased the number of construction jobs by 600 per cent over the 2,500 short-term

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

jobs that Kinder Morgan told the National Energy Board the project would produce.

As Canada has the third largest proven oil reserve in the world, it is economically understandable that Alberta would seek to capitalize on this declining resource industry by all available means.

In response, B.C. appears to be taking a legal defence approach of sorts as approximately 200 protestors have been arrested since mid-March. To that end, Premier John Horgan is seeking a B.C. Supreme Court ruling on the issue. The federal Liberals believe this is a delay tactic, but several measures have been taken to streamline the process and remove time consuming steps.

Despite the posturing of Canadian politicians, KM itself seems to have soured on the project. Though Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and Prime Minister

Justin Trudeau have discussed funding the pipeline with taxpayer dollars and threatened to shut off gas exports to B.C., KM’s CEO says recent events have only confirmed their concerns about the viability of the project.

It should be noted that KM has a market capitalization of $35.67 billion and increased dividend payments to their shareholders by 60 per cent just a few days ago.

It was written that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart. With that in mind, it is easy to see why individuals on both side claim moral righteousness on this issue.

However, this only serves to make enemies of those who disagree with us.

In characterizing an opponent as not only wrong, but morally corrupt, we remove any opportunity for reconciliation or cooperation and create an uncrossable gap of ideological differences.

Down this path lies only ruin for the result is always the same: when viewpoints replace the desire for truth with the desire to be right, the value of honesty is extinguished, no greater objective can be pursued and violence is our just reward.

Community advocate Nicholas Wong ran as an independent candidate in Delta South in last year’s provincial election. He finished second with more than 6,400 votes.

Letters

Cooperation & respect needed, but PR not the way to get there

Editor: Re: Power up vote by backing change, letter to the editor, April 13 While I appreciate Nick Loenen’s sentiment about desiring a more cooperative and respectful government, I have to disagree with him about how proportional representation is the superior electoral system to make government function this way.

A PR electoral system incentivizes fringe political parties with extremist ideologies to run in elections. The likelihood of an extremist party earning a seat in Victoria, such as the Vancouver Island Separation Party, stands to threaten the order in our democracy.

Just recently, Germany did not form government until six months after their election was held

under a PR system. Like in Germany, perpetual backroom deals will occur in order to create unstable coalition governments.

Talk about disorganization and a lack of consensus.

Relating PR’s effects to South Delta, we would lose local representation in Victoria. Under PR, South Delta would be represented by a regional MLA who would additionally represent other parts of the

Lower Mainland. Issues that pertain to South Delta would be swept under the rug in favour of issues that exist in areas with larger populations.

It is fair to say that having cooperation and respect in government is important, but changing our electoral system to proportional representation is not the way to get this achieved.

Even non-toxic substances are cruel to rodents

Editor: Re: Corn starch is the key in eradicating rodents, letter to the editor, April 13 Thank you to Anna Muise for her letter regarding a method of mouse and rat control that’s not toxic to wildlife. We share her concerns about birds of prey consuming poisoned animals. However, we need to be cognizant of the cruelty involved when

we choose to kill invasive wildlife.

Rats and mice suffer just as much as any other animal (including birds of prey) when they’re poisoned. Most substances that are ingested, including those that are not toxic to other wildlife, cause indescribable cruelty as the animal dies a slow, agonizing death of internal bleeding or blockage of their digestive systems.

Neither are glue traps the answer as they cause animals to die slowly of starvation, dehydration and extreme stress.

I recognize, however, that it’s sometimes necessary to control these opportunistic animals. The kindest way to do so is to exclude them as much as possible, including closing up their entry points and not leaving compost for them to eat or piles of

wood scraps in which they can nest.

I personally have had much success with ultrasonic repellents in each level of my cottage.

Ultimately, as a last resort, quick-kill snap traps are the most humane lethal method to deal with uncontrollable intrusions.

Voters realizing they made a big mistake

Editor: By now, Canadians will have realized they made a colossal mistake when they voted in Justin Trudeau and the Liberals in the October 2015 federal election and British Columbians now understand that voting for three Green Party members was also a colossal mistake.

While it might appear to be a bit over the top, the comment that the very future of Canada and its ability to export a proven commodity is at stake is real and not fiction.

With the Alberta oil stranded in that province due to the political obstructionist approach to prosperity being displayed by B.C. Premier John Horgan, and the continual nonsensical disturbances being seen almost daily by the deniers of progress, the future not only of Canada but of B.C. is in jeopardy.

With the price of a litre of gasoline hovering at or above $1.53 in the Lower Mainland, and the ongoing dispute as described above seems not to be moderating, and with the lack of leadership by

Trudeau and the Liberals all of Canada but especially B.C. can and will see increases in the cost of living which will translate into higher fees for government services thus higher taxes.

Delta has a Liberal MP who seems to be oblivious to all that is going on in the country and especially in B.C. as she sits and does nothing to alleviate the concerns of her constituents and all BCers.

As a cabinet minister, she has a voice at the regularly scheduled cabinet meetings and from what can be ascertained, she does nothing of substance and in so doing, lets down her constituents and all Canadians by being mute when she ought to be speaking up and pointing out the deficiencies in the Trudeau Liberal game plan — if there is indeed such a plan.

Various polls over the past few months suggest, strongly, that Canadians are increasingly becoming fed up with the Trudeau Liberals and are grouping for a demand for change in 2019.

Telus invests $65 million in fibre optic network Mayor says project is connecting Tilbury and Annacis businesses with the rest of the world IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Businesses and homes in Delta will be better connected to the digital world thanks to a $65-million investment in Telus’ fibre optic network.

An update on the project was announced Tuesday afternoon at city hall in Ladner where Mayor Lois Jackson was joined by Telus officials and an audience of Delta business leaders.

With the investment, more than 90 per cent of homes and businesses, including the Tilbury and Annacis Island industrial parks, will be connected to the network.

According to Telus, construction has been underway for the past several months with more than 50 per cent of single-family homes and businesses, including the industrial parks, having been connected. Telus anticipates the remainder will be con-

nected by the fall.

“We had identified some time ago through our business community that we needed to connect our Tilbury and Annacis businesses with the world,” said Jackson. “Tilbury and Annacis are two of the largest industrial parks in Canada, so they are dealing with world-wide shippers, receivers, etc.

We needed this and Telus responded.”

Jackson said the project is an exciting one for the whole community.

“There were business people who were not going to stay because we had no fibre optics for our businesses,” she added. “Telus got busy and went ahead very quickly and they are almost finished. It means a lot to the businesses in terms of connectivity and to have good, reliable service. This investment will provide the exceptional connectivity, speed and capacity needed for citizens to access broadband services in our increasingly connected world.”

“Fibre is the future,” said

Tony Geheran, Telus executive vice-president and president of broadband networks. “Delta continues to grow, and this new connectivity will boost the local economy by encouraging investment and helping local businesses thrive, whether they’re established large operations or small home-based

start-ups. For households, a direct fibre connection will pave the way for nextgeneration home entertainment and innovative smart-home technologies.”

The Delta investment is part of the company’s plans to invest $4.7 billion throughout B.C. between 2017 and 2020 at no cost to taxpayers.

My mom is truly amazing because she has always been able to quote and recite poetry. Perhaps it’s my own inability to remember even the shortest of poems that makes it so incredible to me that she can.

This week the poem she has quoted is from the Hebrew Scriptures and to many is so familiar, “The Lord is my shepherd…”

Hopefully this reference will motivate you either to begin your recitation or go searching through the Psalms (23) in order to read it through.

Mom’s frustration has always been that “someone” changed the words!

From that point in our conversation we plough into the discussion about

Minister’s Minute ELIZABETH NORTHCOTT

All Saints Anglican Church

“change” and “new language.”

I tried to be helpful by saying that some of the changes in language was to make the scriptures clearer and easier to understand.

For example, as a child I was always puzzled when I read the phrase, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…” and my mind reeled because I thought that we should all want the Lord to be our shepherd.

My dilemma was solved when I read a newer translation that said, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.”

That translation made infinitely more sense, because I believed that I was to trust in God my good shepherd, who would always be with me and love me.

When the words find a home in my heart and head then will we be able to show God’s glory, those moments when we all can proclaim, Alleluia!

DYT tackles Disney classic Beauty and the Beast Jr. will be staged at Genesis Theatre starting next week DAVE WILLIS

elta Youth Theatre is bringing some Disney magic to the Genesis Theatre stage next week with Beauty and the Beast Jr. This could be one of the group’s best shows yet in terms of production value, says director, set designer and sound designer Tony Barton.

He says the scenic sets have surpassed what he envisioned.

“As far as hours go, I wouldn’t even want to guess how many I’ve done on this one,” says Barton, who’s quick to add he’s had lots of great help.

The story revolves around Belle, a young woman in a small town, and the Beast, who is actually a young prince trapped under a spell.

The production will have all of the classic costumes, including Belle’s iconic yellow dress. Barton says he and his wife found the dress that will be used in the upcoming show in a thrift store a number of years ago.

“There’s going to be a lot of happy little girls when they see Belle come out in that dress,” he says.

As was the case with Delta Youth Theatre’s recent production of Annie Jr., Beauty and the Beast Jr. will feature four different casts.

“It’s a quality show all the way through,” says Barton.

James Plante and Claire Bidulka have roles in the Delta Youth Theatre production of Beauty and the Beast Jr. Belle, a favourite character of hers from the animated Disney movie. She says each cast is working extremely hard “to put it

all together.”

The show, based on the original Broadway version and the classic Disney film, features music by

Alan Menken with lyrics

by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice.

The play runs from April 25 to 29 at Genesis

Theatre, 5005-45th Ave., Ladner. For tickets ($23 or $25) visit www.deltayouththeatre.com or call 604417-7748.

Exercise is No. 1 thing you can do to boost energy

Well on Your Way P.J. WREN

Most of us feel sluggish and low in energy at some point during our week. It’s that feeling when you say, “Ugh, I just want to take nap.”

While I am all for naps, there is another cure for low energy: exercise.

Yup, I know, it seems counterintuitive because you are going to be expending energy that you feel you just don’t have, however researchers have backed this theory up with science.

Exercise is a cure for fatigue, and it can boost your energy levels seven

days a week.

Take, for example, one study that was done at the University of Georgia.

Researchers there found that sedentary, but otherwise healthy adults, who moved their bodies for 20 minutes a day reported feeling less fatigued and more energized after a sixweek period.

They weren’t even going that hard either.

The exercise was a low-tomoderate aerobic exercise (cycling) and performed three times a week for six consecutive weeks.

At the end, there was a 20 per cent increase in energy levels (compared to the non-exercising group) and a 65 per cent drop in feelings of fatigue.

How does exercise do this? First, it releases endorphins, our body’s natural hormones that get released when we do something that requires a burst of energy. They are the things that make us perform, make us move.

Exercise tends to

increase those levels. It’s the endorphin release that contributes to the feeling of euphoria commonly known as “runner’s high.”

Second, exercise boosts your heart health, which in turn increases your endurance throughout the day.

And that’s every day, not just on workout days.

Third, the more you move, the more mitochondria your body makes to meet your energy needs.

Mitochondria are tiny, energy-producing organs found in every cell of the body, and the more mitochondria you have, the higher your energy levels.

How much and what sort of exercise should you be doing for your energy levels? Lower intensity exercise seems to work best, so think brisk walking and easy cycling. Aim for two to three hours a week.

PJ Wren is a local trainer and writer. You can work out with her online (fitnesswithpj.com) or in-person (thestudio.ca).

‘Wild’ cast needed for final play of Sidekick’s season

The Sidekick Players Club will be auditioning its last production of the season, The Wild Guys, later this month at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

Written by Andrew Wreggitt and Rebecca Shaw, and directed for Sidekick by Carroll Lefebvre, the comedy sees four men set out to find an isolated cabin in the forest on a “wildman” weekend.

That’s when everything that can go wrong does.

Andy, a men’s move-

ment advocate, and Robin, a crystal gazing New Ager, coax Stewart, an unsuspecting grocer, and Randall, a skeptical, city lawyer, into reluctantly participating in male-bonding ceremonies and communal hugs. The result? Hockey cheers and Neil Young sing-a-longs.

This play is a satire on men’s self-help encounters of the type made famous by drum-beating poet Robert Bly and the New Age, touchy-feely move-

ment that supported it.

Auditions will be held on Sunday, April 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. and Monday, April 23 from 7 to 9 p.m.

They will include a cold read from the script. There will be no appointments as auditions will be on a first come, first served basis.

Lefebvre will be looking for four males aged from 30s to 50s. No accents required. Send photo and/ or resume or inquiries to sidekickplayers@outlook. com.

Heart-warming play on arts centre stage

The Sidekick Players Club began its run of Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun this week at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

Directed by Bernice Fehr and assisted by Carroll Lefebvre, the heartwarming play by Norm Foster is a tale of friendship in uncertain times, and a reminder that sometimes goodbye is just the beginning.

The emotionally-

charged play explores the relationship between Robert, a 35-year-old man with the mental capacity of an eight-year-old, and Holly, a young pregnant woman in crisis.

Kiss the Moon, Kiss the Sun is a story about people finding the nerve to take responsibility and about persevering against all odds. Peppered with laughter and tears, this feel-good story is an uplift-

ing and poignant reminder that “family” can be found in the most unexpected places.

Performances will be staged tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. and from April 25 to 28. There will also be a matinee this Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for seniors/ students. Reservations are recommended by calling 604-288-2415.

Rotary Club looking for peace leaders

While the world hopes for peace, Rotary International — a humanitarian service organization dedicated to world peace and understanding — works to make it a reality by training the next generation of peace leaders.

The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is now recruiting for the Rotary Peace Fellowship, a program that gives up to 100 fellows the opportunity to obtain professional devel-

opment certificates or master’s degrees in peace and conflict resolution.

“Today, there are still far too few mediators who are experienced practitioners in conflict resolution.

There is an urgent need to produce another generation of people who can play a mediating role in the future,” said professor Paul Rogers of the University of Bradford.

“This program is the most significant develop-

Delta club well-represented on Team B.C. that is off to Alberta next week Six athletes and two coaches from Delta Gymnastics’ competitive program will be heading to Spruce Grove, Alberta next week as part of Team B.C. for the Western Canadian Championships.

The local contingent is headed

by Mike Hood, Men’s Competitive Program Coordinator and Jennifer Dober, Coordinator of the Women’s Competitive Program.

“As a coach, this is an outstanding opportunity to watch up-and-coming athletes and add new strategies to our program,” said Hood. “This is also a great opportunity for us as coaches and judges, to network with our colleagues and to continue with our professional development.”

Comprised of athletes from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the Westerns help to recognize and prepare athletes for future high-level competitions.

“It is a great honour to compete for your province and it gives the athlete opportunities to build relationships with other coaches and club members throughout B.C.,” explained Dober. “For some, this is their first chance to compete as a member of Team BC and one of their highest levels of performance in their competitive careers.”

Delta’s male athletes feature Russell Woodward — a Grade 6 student travelling to Westerns for his third time — and Lucas Liu who is in Grade 7 and making his second trip. Woodward will be competing in the Elite 3 category while Liu will be in the Provincial Level 4 group.

Ava Groves, 15, will be competing in the JO8 category and

Astarte Garnett, 13, in the JO. “Being a part of Team B.C. is exciting and watching other members compete helps me with my training,” says Groves.

Hettinga in the JO8 category.

Grant is fresh off winning four medals at the B.C. Winter Games.

Delta Invitational returning to Richmond Olympic Oval

Delta Gymnastics is once again taking their annual Delta Invitational and Cash and Carry Cup to the Richmond Olympic Oval, May 4-6.

Regarded as one of the largest gymnastics events in the province, the event will host 38 clubs and feature over 1200 athletes representing B.C., Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

“We are excited to once again offer an opportunity to our community to experience high quality gymnastics in an impressive setting for a minimal cost,” said Ana Arciniega, Executive Director at Delta Gymnastics and host of the event.

“National level athletes will be participating at our unique Cash and Carry Cup on

Saturday (4:30 p.m.) where the gymnast’s execution rather difficulty of the skill is emphasized and serves to level the playing field.”

That competition offers $10,000 in cash prize money towards training expenses and awards it to the top six male and female allaround winners, plus the top three winners of each of the events.

“Traditional gymnastics competitions do not typically offer cash rewards, which makes for a very exciting competition to watch,” continued Arciniega. “If you have ever wanted to watch high performance gymnastics live, this is a great place to be!”

This year’s Invitational continues the theme of Embrace the Journey as gymnastics teaches

how to move through success and failure, good days and bad and embraces the road that helps us to live an active and healthy lifestyle. “Our Embrace the Journey symbol this year is the whale in our waterways as we want to parallel their journey of perseverance and resilience with our athlete’s journey; highlighting both personal health as well as the health of our planet,” added Arciniega. “Ultimately our goal in hosting this event is to expose our youth to a wide range of opportunities, skills and abilities that are accessible through the sport of gymnastics.”

Admission at the door is $12 for adults, $6 for students (ages 7-18) and free for children 6 and younger.

Alice was a remarkable woman. She began work with Imperial Oil in the 1960’s and was one of the first women supervisors with the company.

Alice married Bruce Eaton in December 1973. They were both supervisors and travelled extensively with Imperial Oil. They often worked on the same jobs in the high Arctic or off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Alice was sent into work environments that had previously been out of bounds to women. She set the precedent for allowing women employees into frontier work areas.

Alice took in her fourteen year-old niece Rena and raised her as a daughter. Rena found Alice to be a kind, generous, courageous, loving and feisty woman.

Bruce and Alice retired from Imperial Oil in 1982.

Alice and Bruce bought a beautiful half acre property in Tsawwassen and used their retirement years to garden.

Alice and Bruce traveled extensively. They made three trips to Tahiti, two trips to New Zealand, a motor trip across Canada and back through the USA, a trip to Europe and went on several cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean.

Alice was very creative.

She bought a spinning wheel in New Zealand and used it to spin her own wool. She loved to collect paintings and other interesting souvenirs of her travels.

Alice was Bruce’s primary caregiver for ten years after he had a stroke. She looked after him with love and compassion. Bruce predeceased Alice in 2014. She is also predeceased by her first husband George Tate. Alice is survived by Bruce’s children Bob Eaton, his wife Sue and his children Brian and Cindy and grandchildren; Barb Nielsen, her husband Hardy, their children Wanda, Trevor and Tracie and their children; and by her daughter Rena Groot, her husband John, and their children, Sarah, Shalev Alice, Shane M. Bruce, and Savannah.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Alice on Friday, April 27th at 2:00 pm at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Rd., Delta, BC. Special thanks to the caregivers from West Coast Care who looked after Alice with such loving care, to Peter Silin from eldercare@diamondgeriatrics.com for your compassionate care for Alice, to Lois Yonash from the RBC Royal Trust for faithfully managing Alice’s affairs, and to Tom and Susan Coutts for being Alice’s dear friends and health advocates.

MURPHY, John Collins John Collins Murphy left this world the way he entered it: bald, beautiful and beloved. “Jack” was born in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, to Tom and V i o l e t M u r p h y o n M a y 4 , 1 9 2 6 . W i l l i a m Ly o n Mackenzie King was Canada’s prime minister at the time. In 1927, Tom moved the family to Vancouver, where Tom continued working for CN Rail.

While in grade 12 at King Edward high school in Vancouver in 1945, Jack was drafted to fight in World War 2. However, the war ended prior to his deployment. He briefly attended UBC and tried his hand at odd jobs before joining the Vancouver City Police Force in 1951, a job he retired from as a detective in 1986.

Jack was active with the Air Cadets (692 Squadron), Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), Knights of Columbus and coaching little league baseball. He had his own photography business and leaves behind a collection of slides of vanishing Vancouver.

His hobbies included sailing, golfing and bowling. He mowed the lawn the way he cooked a steak, to perfection. He was a southpaw who kept impeccable notes, on and off the job.

In 1998, Jack left Kits Point for Ladner. For years, he was a frequent fixture at McDonald’s where he enjoyed his morning coffee and muffin. The staff knew him by name, as did tellers at the Bank of Montreal.

Jack is remembered as a stubborn but kind loner who lovingly tormented his two teen daughters by answering the door in his underwear and getting a personalized golf shirt that said “Gobi Desert Canoe Club.”

Jack will be missed by his daughters Shandra (Peter) and Kirsten (Jason), grandson Atley and his wife (Marjorie). Jack is predeceased by his parents and his brother Donald (2011).

A heartfelt thanks to the staff at Waterford in Tsawwassen who became his second family. The care and the love shown by staff meant his final six years on earth were among the most relaxed and carefree days of his (almost) 92 years.

A funeral mass will be held at Sacred Heart Church in Delta (Ladner), 3900 Arthur Drive on Monday April 23 at 11:00 am.
