Guy Biggar Mr. July

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

he 2015 Hall of Flame firefighters calendar was officially launched earlier this month and Delta firefighters are featured in a whopping six months of the year.

The firefighters were chosen from a pool of about 30 candidates at a selection party back in May, says Guy Biggar, who is Mr. July. Party attendees voted for their favourite candidates and the top 13 were chosen for the calendar. At the end of the night, six Delta firefighters had made the cut.

The guys range from 24-year-old Jason McCallum (Mr. November), who has been with the department for a year, to Peter Popovich (Mr. May), a 57-year-old battalion chief who has been a firefighter for 34 years.

Once chosen for the calendar, the firefighters had eight weeks to get ready for the photo shoots.

Biggar, who has been a firefighter for eight years, says he hired a personal trainer and “went on an absolutely Jason Wood ridiculous diet” that saw him survive on chicken, spinach, Mr. October broccoli, water and black coffee.

“It was horrendous, but I made it through,” he says.

Tim Holloway, who is featured as Mr. June, says he went on a “modified paleo diet” and cut out all carbohydrates and sugar, even fruit, and alcohol.

The photos were taken at a studio this summer.

“I just kind of had fun with it,” says Holloway, adding the photographer made everyone feel comfortable.

“I’m not used to that, I’m not a model,” says Brandon Jai, Mr. December, who is in the calendar for the second time.

The annual calendar raises money for the B.C. Professional Firefighters Association Burn Fund.

This year the models have been issued an additional donation challenge by raising money for a charity of their choice.

Jason Wood, who is Mr. October, chose to support the Burn Fund.

“I just find it’s something close to home for us,” he says.

Wood is also on his second tour with the Hall of Flame calendar, having appeared in it five years ago.

“It’s just something that’s a very good cause.”

Popovich is raising money for the Delta Firefighters’ Charitable Foundation, which supports a number of local charities and organizations.

Jai and Biggar chose B.C. Children’s Hospital, while McCallum is raising funds for Big Brothers of Greater Jason McCallum Vancouver and Holloway chose Ovarian Cancer Mr. November Canada. He says he got involved with the organization after his sister’s ovarian cancer diagnosis at 17.

“She’s in remission right now,” he says. “She’s probably the toughest person I know.”

He says the main aim is to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.

“This is such a deadly disease,” Holloway says.

Half of the money raised by the firefighters will go to their chosen charity while the other half will go to the Vancouver Firefighters’ Charitable Society, which in turn donates the money to such charities as the Burn Fund, the CKNW Orphans’ Fund and B.C. Children’s Hospital, as well as programs that fund school sports equipment purchases, snacks for school kids and building playgrounds.

The idea for the calendar was conceived and first implemented 27 years ago by Vancouver firefighters.

Today, the Vancouver Firefighters Charitable Society designs, produces and distributes the calendars with the help of volunteers and sponsors. The goal for 2015 is to generate $100,000 for the various charities.

Donations to the firefighters’ individual fundraising campaigns can be made at www.fundaid.ca.

The calendars are currently on sale and can be purBrandon Jai chased online at www.vancouverfirefighters.ca or at Mr. December London Drugs and Save-on-Foods.

Chair Laura Dixon announces she’s seeking third term on school board

Delta board of education chairperson Laura Dixon announced last week she will seek re-election as a school trustee in November’s civic election.

“I know that the public education system in Delta is second to none and I will continue my work to ensure the continued success of our students,” said Dixon.

Dixon has served as a school trustee in Delta for six years and has served the last two years as chairperson.

“This last term was a considerable amount of work, and fortunately the community elected three new trustees who showed outstanding commitment to the work that we do by actively participating in

Laura Dixon topped the polls in the 2011 school board election. district events on a regular basis,” said Dixon. “It would be an honour to be able to continue to work alongside them on the new board if elected.”

Dixon said she has a long track record of working

with stakeholders to involve the community in public education.

“Delta residents have shown time and again that our schools are truly the heart of our community and that they see investment of

time and resources for the benefit of our students as the key to our future. That kind of support makes all the difference in my work as a school trustee.”

Dixon serves as chairperson of the Metro branch of the B.C. School Trustees Association. In addition, she is involved in a number of provincial committees that support student health, school connectedness and mental health.

Dixon graduated from the Delta school district in 1985 and has been a Delta resident in both North Delta and South Delta for most of her life. She and her husband, also a Delta school district graduate, have two children attending Delta public schools.

King seeks to reclaim seat on Delta council

52 YEARS SERVING DELTA

After giving up spot to run for mayor three years ago, former councillor looking to return to municipal hall There will be another familiar face on the ballot in November’s municipal election.

Former civic politician Heather King announced this week she’s seeking a return to Delta council.

First elected to council in 2008, King ran for mayor in 2011, losing to incumbent Lois Jackson.

She also served as a school board trustee for two terms from 2002 until 2008.

“I grew up with small town values — knowing your neighbour, serving and volunteering,” said King.

“My father was active in municipal politics and my mother was a volunteer for Canadian Mental Health, Children’s Aid and many other organizations. This upbringing has stayed with me. It formed my value system and core reasons for caring and doing great things for my community with passion and integrity.”

Since losing her bid for mayor three years ago,

Heather King Former trustee King has spent her time volunteering in the community — she is a founding member of Tourism Delta, on the strategic planning executive of the Ladner Business Association, a trustee of Delta Museum and Archives and vice-president of the Delta Hospice Society.

She also recently completed her master’s degree at Simon Fraser University with a focus on resolving community issues.

King, who is running as an independent, said she

has a number of goals for the upcoming term, including improving air quality, working with all levels of government to protect residents from coal dust, making municipal hall more efficient and fiscally responsible, supporting farmers and protecting Delta’s agriculture, and creating an economic development plan with a goal of promoting healthy, sustainable business opportunities.

“One thing that really matters to the citizens of Delta is the protection of our environment,” she said.

“We want our ecosystems protected, which includes our precious agricultural farmland, fish and wildlife habitat and our Burns Bog. “There are also regional issues that affect us such as improved transit and better roads and bridges.”

King said if elected she will continue to foster strong working relationships with local MLAs and MPs.

What began as a way to help kindergarteners deal with the serious illness and death of their classmate has turned into an annual fundraiser for one local charity.

Ben Lock was just four when he was in Hannah Hatlen’s kindergarten class at Beach Grove Elementary.

Hatlen was in the throes of her battle with a rare brain tumour, but managed to attend class on some days. However, as her disease progressed in the fall of 2006, she became too sick to attend school.

Gillian Lock, Ben’s mom, remembers it was difficult for her classmates to understand their friend was sick and might not get better.

“We had to kind of prepare them for that,” she said, adding the news weighed heavily on Ben’s mind.

“He kept saying, ‘This can’t happen, we have to help her.’”

“I had no idea that could happen to someone that young,” said Ben, who is starting Grade 8 this week.

In an effort to help the class deal with Hatlen’s illness, Gillian, who is a teacher, proposed an art lesson with the young students. It was September but the class drew snowmen. Gillian had the artwork reprinted and, with the help of a team of moms, turned the children’s PHOTO BY JESSICA KERR drawings into Ben Lock has been drawing Chistmas Christmas cards. cards for Hannah’s Heroes since 2006.

Petition against radio towers goes to Ottawa Coalition presents document with over 3,500 signatures to MP in bid to get federal government to intervene BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

The petition calling on the federal government to intervene in the Point Roberts radio towers proposal has made its way to Ottawa.

Two members of the Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Radio Towers presented the 3,500plus-signature petition to Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay at her Ladner constituency office last Friday.

Findlay said she’s committed to tabling the petition in Parliament pending its certification by the clerk of petitions.

The petition calls on the ministers of industry and foreign affairs to file an informal objection with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opposing renewal of KRPI’s broadcasting licence and to initiate an inquiry into Industry Canada’s lack of objection to the FCC’s decision to grant a construction permit for the towers.

“This issue has caused serious concern among residents of our community and it is important that those voices be heard,” Findlay said.

The coalition is fighting BBC Broadcasting

Inc.’s proposal to build five 45-metre (150-foot) steel towers at an undeveloped lot on McKenzie Way, about 330 metres from the Tsawwassen border. The towers are to transmit South Asian radio station KRPI, AM 1550.

Residents on both sides of the border have concerns over blanketing interference and the havoc it could cause with household electronic devices.

Also known as SherE-Punjab, the company currently broadcasts using antenna in Ferndale, Wash., but wants to move them closer and have a stronger 50,000-watt, all-day signal.

“If the proposed towers site was just north, on the Canadian side, Industry Canada would never approve its application because of the immediate high population density,” said Nancy Beaton, a Tsawwassen resident and member of the coalition. “If the border did not exist, the FCC would not approve the application because of the immediate high population density.

“This repeated message is not being heard by Industry Canada and therefore, by way of this petition, we are requesting the House of Commons to investigate further — time is of the essence. We would like to

thank Minister Findlay for her continued efforts and willingness to deliver this message and the petition to Ottawa.”

Findlay said once the petition has been certified and tabled in the House of Commons, the government has 45 days to issue a formal response.

Findlay returned to Ottawa on Sunday and said she planned on submitting the petition for vetting on Monday.

With the FCC already issuing a construction permit for the proposed towers, one final hurdle remains with a conditional use permit required from Whatcom County.

The coalition is planning to attend a Whatcom County hearing on the issue. With the hearing just over a month away, the group held a meeting last week in Tsawwassen to help spread the word and rally the troops.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW There has been much speculation in these parts over the viability of the two massive malls under construction at the Tsawwassen First Nation. A relative backwater when it comes to retail therapy, South Delta will be pushed to the forefront of the region two years from now when the 1.2-million-square-foot Tsawwassen Mills and the 550,000square-foot Tsawwassen Commons are scheduled to open their doors.

I don’t share the skepticism of those who feel the two malls are too far removed from Lower Mainland population centres to be economically viable in the long run. With a mom, five sisters and a wife, pretty much all of whom get visibly excited by the prospect of a clothing bargain, I have visited my share of shopping malls over the years, and I can tell you with a great deal of certainty that if a mall offers something truly unique, shoppers will travel great distances.

That’s why I was interested to sit in on the keynote speech by CrossIron Mills general manager James Moller at last week’s Delta Chamber of Commerce workshop to provide updates on the various economic development projects in the works at the TFN. CrossIron Mills is the five-year-old Calgary mall that Tsawwassen Mills is being modeled after, so the experiences there should be pretty similar to what will unfold here beginning in 2016.

Not only did what Moller have to say make a lot of sense to me, but I was living proof to back up some of the statistics he threw around, including the fact that 57 per cent of shoppers come from beyond 20 kilometres to visit CrossIron Mills.

Given I’ve driven in excess of 20 kilometres to reach many a mall, and figured there are plenty of other people out there doing the same, I could identify with that statistic, one that blows a hole in the theory proffered by naysayers who think the location of the TFN malls will be their undoing.

Moller told the crowd that CrossIron shoppers spend an average of two hours per visit, which makes sense given they’ve driven quite a distance to get there. It also reinforces the notion that the “hybrid” shopping centre (a mix of outlet and regular priced goods under one roof) is indeed a destination.

If Tsawwassen Mills was going to be your typical suburban shopping mall, I’d agree with those who say it’s doomed for failure, but it will be unique enough to draw shoppers from all over the Lower Mainland and beyond.

You’re welcome to check my odometer if you don’t believe me.

Plenty of options to expand Canadian Charter of Rights TOM SIBA COMMUNITY COMMENT Earlier today while sitting in one of those interminable lineups to get through the George Massey Tunnel, I heard on the news that David Suzuki had called for the right for clean air and water be added to the Canadian Charter of Rights. Suzuki is apparently on his last hurrah tour espousing his environmental views.

It made me think back, while I sat there spewing carbon monoxide into the environment, about a front-page article in last Saturday’s National Post entitled “A Fight at the Museum.” The museum in question was the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which opened this past week in Winnipeg.

It is the first national museum outside of Ottawa.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights was the brainchild of Izzy Asper, a Winnipeg-based media tycoon who passed away

in 2003. His was the original idea and the initial seed money. Prior to starting the television network that became Global TV, Asper was the leader of the provincial Liberal Party in Manitoba. He unfortunately did not enjoy near as much political success as he did commercial success.

But even without the political success, his money and connections allowed him to make progress on what would seem a questionable endeavour. A location was picked at the Forks in the heart of Winnipeg at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. It is across the road from Can West Park, the ballpark that was financed by Asper’s company, Can West Communications.

After Asper’s death, his daughter continued to stickhandle the project to completion. To the extent that the museum focuses on serious violations of human rights, it is wrapped in controversy. Various groups feel their suffering is underplayed. Not all the exhibits are in yet and we hope they focus more on past successes and less on historical grievances, for I fear that historical grievances can be endless.

So what are human rights? Well,

The Optimist encourages readers to write letters to the editor. Letters are accepted on any topic, although preference is given to those on local matters. The Optimist reserves the right to edit letters and the decision to publish is at the discretion of the editor or publisher. All letters must be signed, dated and include the writer’s phone number

the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights runs to 30 articles. Nothing surprising in the articles if you haven’t read them — other than the degree to which they are ignored in much of the world.

Article 25 says, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well being of himself and of his family...” Suzuki’s desired addendums could probably fit handily in this article. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is less inclusive and has democratic rights, mobility rights, legal rights, equality rights and language rights.

The UN Declaration reads like it was written by social workers whereas the Canadian Charter reads like it was written by lawyers, but at least we pay attention to the latter.

I wish Suzuki well in his venture. I am, after all, tired of sitting in a traffic jam inhaling all those toxic fumes. Let’s have a right to clean air. Surely we have a right to a new bridge over the Fraser. Too bad we have to wait until 2022 to get it.

I won’t, however, bring it up when I visit the Museum for Human Rights in the future.

September 24, 2014 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Give seniors time to cross

Editor: I’m sure I’m not alone in noticing the increasing number of seniors who are unable to navigate their way across 56th Street intersections (especially at 12th Avenue) before the lights change. While drivers do patiently wait until pedestrians reach the sidewalk, the situation is a risky one.

Some years ago New York City instituted a Safe Streets for Seniors initiative that brought in many changes, including modified signal timing.

The need for such adaptations here was vividly brought home to me a few days ago when a senior

lady stopped me after I’d crossed 56th Street at the Town Centre Mall intersection and expressed concern about whether she and her walker could make it back across that same road before the lights changed.

When she politely refused my initial offer to escort her I told her she had spurred me to relay those concerns to the Optimist since I’d noticed many of her contemporaries struggling to safely cross intersections in the allotted time.

As we talked I learned the charming lady was the widow of our highly respected former MLA Fred Gingell. “I’ve lived here

for 40 year and used to be able to sprint across streets, but now...” Given our aging demographic, Mrs. Gingell’s plight is clearly not an uncommon one.

We started across the mall intersection together the instant pedestrian sign appeared, but were still a few feet short of the curb before the light changed, even though Mrs. Gingell’s speed was well above that of many seniors observed crossing major streets.

The community would surely adapt with grace to slightly longer wait times at busy corners for sake of residents’ safety.

Editor: Re: Wong seeks council seat, Sept. 3 I recall reading an article regarding a young man running for council. Nicholas Wong stated he is running for council for not just four years but for 40 years. This comment had me wondering about some of our current council members.

A number of our council members ran in last year’s provincial election, with one being successful.

Unfortunately, following this election, this left the citizens of Delta shortchanged without proper representation from this seat.

So I have a question to all sitting and potential council members: Are you running in this November’s municipal election with 100 per cent intent of representing the people of Delta for the entire four years, or will you try to move on to greener pastures at the first

opportunity?

Yes or no? Not maybe, or I’m not sure, or I don’t know. Will you commit to complete the entire fouryear term? The people of Delta deserve an answer.

Deltans deserve councillors who want to be here.

If your heart is not in Delta as a councillor, then do not run. The people of Delta deserve better.

We patiently await your response.

Bloomin’ wonderful planters at McKee and elsewhere Editor: Several members of the McKee Seniors’ Recreation Centre in Ladner have asked me to write a letter for them expressing their appreciation of the remark-

able plant containers outside the centre and in other locations in Ladner.

The concrete plant containers are filled with lush flowers, colourful leaf growers and ornamental

grasses that one can’t help but notice and marvel over.

The horticulturists involved must be praised for the living wonders they provide each season.

Battling the bulge Tips for getting rid of that belly fat KRISTA POPOWYCH Let’s face it. Many of us struggle with a mid-section that is either rounder or softer than we would like.

Even the word belly may suggest a less than desirable image.

If you are among the thousands of Canadians who battles with their so-called muffin top, you are not alone. Even thin people have some abdominal fat.

Unfortunately, too much belly fat is a real health concern; but with some simple changes, you can win the battle the bulge.

There are two types of fat.

Subcutaneous fat is fat found right under the skin.

A common joke is that we all have six-pack abs but we just can’t see them. True.

Too much subcutaneous fat may hide our abdominal muscles. The other type of fat is visceral and is a deeper fat. Although visceral fat is important for cushioning our organs and other functions, large amounts can trigger chronic

KRISTA POPOWYCH inflammation and put you at risk for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and other illnesses.

Unfortunately visceral fat also thrives on inactivity.

Meaning that even if you watch what you eat but don’t exercise, you are likely to have more visceral fat compared to those who do both. Thankfully, mid-section fat is easier to get rid of than fat found on other parts of the body. With a commitment to exercising and eating healthy, you can significantly reduce belly fat.

Abdominal crunches and core exercises will

strengthen your mid-section. However, committing to hundreds of sit-ups a day will not flatten your stomach. You cannot reduce fat in one specific area. To get rid of fat found all over your body, you must burn calories. Cardiovascular exercise is a good place to start.

Moderate exercise (walking or biking) for approximately 20 to 30 minutes per day will make a difference. But to get better belly busting results faster, try interval training.

Interval training alternates between high and low intensity cardio. An example of a high intensity interval is exercising outside of your comfort zone. Meaning if you can go at an intensity above what you normally would, go for it. If walking is your exercise of choice, set an interval target of either time or distance. After warming up, walk briskly for 15-d30 seconds then recover, catch your breath and repeat the sets throughout your walk. Or choose start and end targets: for example, up the intensity from CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Beneficial bacteria

Adding probiotics to your diet can have a positive effect on many aspects of your health and well being.

Probiotics reside naturally in our bodies and are made up of dozens of strains of live, beneficial bacteria needed for a healthy digestive system. They occur not only in the colon and large and small intestine, but also in the stomach and even in the mucosal lining of the mouth. The term probiotic means supporting life.

When we are exposed to toxins — and we all are every day — they add harmful bacteria to our bodies, causing damage and disease by counteracting our beneficial bacteria. Keeping a balanced flora in the gut, made up of both good and bad bacteria, is the body’s goal.

Harmful bacteria, is often treated with antibiotics, which have the unfortunate effect of killing off not only the unwanted harmful bacteria, but also the good bacteria at the same time.

Probiotics are available in yogurt and other cultured forms, as well as supplements. For those looking at supplements, it is important to look for at least a 50 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 the lamppost to the bus stop. These types of intervals are less structured, but do the job.

Although cardio exercise is a good start, having more muscle on your body boosts metabolism and slows the production of belly fat as we age. Kick up your metabolism through strength training two to three times per week.

More muscle on your body means you burn more calories both while exercising as well as during day-to-day activities. Start with eight to 10 strength exercises for the major muscle groups, either done at home or at a gym. Any exercise will make a big difference.

Unhealthy foods feed belly fat. Keep total caloric intake within a healthy range and avoid foods that are processed, high in saturated fats and full of sugar. Continuous dieting

billion count of high quality probiotics supplement with eight or more different strains of active bacteria while you are on antibiotics. The more strains of bacteria your body receives, the healthier your flora becomes. It is also important to be sure that the probiotics you are taking are in an enteric-coated capsule, which allows the live cultures to arrive in the intestinal tract unscathed by your stomach acid.

Even if you aren’t on antibiotics, keeping your gut flora healthy helps prevent numerous inflammatory diseases from ever becoming an issue in your life.

Other benefits of a healthy gut include: increased energy; healthy metabolism; boosted immunity; better sleep; better moods; joint and muscle function; improved gastrointestinal functions; improved respiratory and allergy responses.

is a challenging way to live.

Instead, make healthier choices every day. Research has found that foods high in monounsaturated fatty acids such avocados, olive oil and nuts may stop belly fat from developing. That’s great — but keep in mind that a calorie is a calorie.

Even excessive healthy calories add up. Last, but not least, too little sleep and high amounts of stress makes you crave unhealthy foods and will decrease your desire to exercise. Keep both in check.

changes and even the natural aging process can all cause the amount of good bacteria in your intestinal tract to decline.

A wonderful way for you to help your body to better colonize the probiotics you ingest is to eat and drink more fermented foods, like Kombucha, apple cider vinegar and sauerkraut.

These beneficial bacteria also help the body to produce vitamins, digest foods and inhibit the growth of pathogenic organisms like Candida albacans. They have also been shown to prevent E-coli and salmonella.

Vanity aside, there is important health reasons to keep belly fat at bay. The key is to exercise, eat healthy, get enough sleep and manage stress. With a few changes, you can bust belly fat and feel better all around. No pun intended.

The book is almost complete and will be sent to the

publisher next month.

Nutrition and Feeding of Organic Pigs, Nutrition and Feeding of Organic Poultry and Organic Production and Food Quality: A Down to Earth Analysis are titles of a few of his previous books.

The free presentation will take place at Cedar Park Church, 5300-44th Ave., Ladner, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Name: Sandy Age: 70 Occupation? Retired What are the activities? Swimming and Aqua Joints Where and when does this take place?

Ladner Leisure Centre How often do you participate? Twice a week How long have you been involved? A couple of years Why did you get involved in this activity? I drove by the pool and started inquiring about activities that take place there.

What do you like best about this activity? I like the instructors, and they make sure the participants exercise all of the muscles.

How does it benefit your life? It keeps me active and water exercise is easy to do with less chance of injury.

What other things do you do to keep active?

Exercises at home.

Did you know that water-based exercise can benefit older adults as it puts less stress on joints? It also can improve or maintain the bone health of post-menopausal women. With many types of water exercise, you don’t even need to know how to swim to take part!

If you enjoy the Aqua Joints class, try the new Warm Water Workout on Fridays from 2:15-3pm. Or, if you are looking to increase your mobility, use the water walking lane available at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 11am-12pm.

For a full public swim schedule and a complete listing of all Aquafit classes offered in Delta, please drop by your local recreation centre, visit www.delta.ca or call 604-952-3000.

Deltassist to celebrate year of service at tonight’s AGM

Deltassist will be celebrating many accomplishments of the past year at its annual general meeting tonight in North Delta.

Best known for the Toy Depot, which provides Christmas gifts for underprivileged children and teens, Deltassist also offers numerous services for children, families, youth and seniors.

“It has been an exciting year for us,” says executive director Doug Sabourin. “In addition to the many services we offer, such as alcohol and drug counselling, support for victims of domestic violence and providing free tax return help, we’ve been appointed as the United Way’s designate for Better at Home for Delta.”

Through Better at Home, Deltassist can now offer a wider range of services for seniors, such as yard work, home repairs and housekeeping. Some of these are fee-based services, but subsidies are provided based on income and need.

“Our seniors shouldn’t have to choose between putting food on the table and having a needed home repair done,” says Sabourin.

“We’re here to help them maintain and stay in the home they love.”

Deltassist also provides many non-medical services for seniors, including grocery shopping, friendly visitation, daily contact and transportation to appointments. Recently added

In addition to Earthwise Society’s fresh organic produce, market shoppers can purchase organic and gluten-free baking, fair trade chocolates and truffles, free range eggs and poultry, as well as a variety of jams, sauces and other treats.

The market provides opportunities to make new culinary discoveries too.

For example at a recent market, one vendor displayed an assortment of locally foraged foods, such as chanterelle mushrooms.

Chanterelles are the ultimate wild seasonal delicacy, but many people have never tasted them.

Everyone will have a chance to try them out Saturday when local chef Wes Lesveque will be turning out tasty pizzas from the cob oven featuring chanterelles, heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs and other market produce.

The market is a great place to put together a picnic menu. For inspiration, Farm Fresh Events will be giving away a picnic basket featuring an assortment of market products this Saturday.

The Earthwise Farm and Garden are located at 64003rd Ave. in Boundary Bay.

Grooming Tips From Aussie Pet Mobile by Dr. Uri Burstyn How to Prevent Hot Spots DRY YOUR DOG REALLY WELL Dry your dog really well if they have been swimming (especially if it is in a standing body of water like Trout Lake). We don’t often see hot spots from dogs who’ve been in the rain, perhaps because the oil in their coat keeps the water away from the skin, or maybe because it tends to rain during the cool season.

On the other hand, many of the dogs I see with hot spots have been swimming in the past week. Comb your dog with a largetooth comb (not fine-toothed) to get excess water out of the undercoat and let in air to dry the skin.

FRESH WATER WASH AFTER A SWIM It’s REALLY important to wash your dog with fresh water after a swim in the ocean. The salt trapped against the skin can be irritating, and readily sets up a dermatitis or superficial pyoderma (hot spots), which can then rapidly progress.

KNOW YOUR PETS BREED HISTORY Being aware of your best friend’s breed history really helps too.

Many dogs that are adapted to survival in a cold climate, such as

Now you know how to identify hot spots, and how to prevent hot spots from happening! In the next article, I am going to talk about how to treat them when they do.

When I lived in Sydney, Australia, I had neighbors with a pair of beautiful Newfoundland dogs who would get them completely shaved every summer. They looked adorable, and were so much happier without the heavy coat in the hot months! If you don’t like your dog naked, talk to your groomer and they can probably do a light trim that will keep most of the coat, but allow air in to dry the skin.

A18 The Delta Optimist September 24, 2014 Feedback

Public school students headed back to class this week after an extended summer holiday. B.C. teachers, who had been without a contract since June 2013, agreed last week with the government on

a six-year deal, ending a dispute that had seen job action escalate to the point that schools had been shut down since mid-June.

The Optimist asked:

What did you think of the teachers’ dispute?

Tim McFee They had some valid points. But, three weeks, I don’t know how they’re actually going to make up the time.

Jacee Schaefer I hope it’s over with for five years. I actually was in favour of the government’s position.

You can have your say on this issue by taking part in our web poll at www. delta-optimist.com

Hans Christie I thought it took a lot of time off. I would rather have gone back earlier because I got bored of summer in the end. Not much to do. We’re missing a lot of school, we might get our breaks taken off.

Will Robinson I didn’t really like it. I respect it though. I respect the teachers and what they were trying to do. But also, it went on a little long.

Both sides had their faults.

Last week we asked you:

Are you enjoying the summer weather?

• 68 per cent said yes, definitely.

• 32 per cent said no, I’m ready

for fall weather.

As two of Canada’s top young rowers, Maxwell (left) and Aaron Lattimer do much of their training on the Fraser River at the John MS Lecky UBC Boathouse. home, we probably will be rowing together. For both us to be there (at the 2020 Games) would be amazing.”

The Lattimers got introduced to rowing as two of five brothers coming through Vancouver College. The sport has a rich history at the city catholic school and annually is a major force at the Canadian Secondary Rowing Championships.

It was during Maxwell’s Grade 11 year he was targeted to be a member of Team B.C. He was invited to training camps that were overseen by 2008 Olympic gold medalist Ben Rutledge.

“He was a very committed coach who will go out of his way when he sees an athlete’s potential,” explained Maxwell.

“That time with Team B.C. was really influential in my career. It was my first taste of high performance rowing with a great coach.”

Always intrigued with the

Tides at Tsawwassen Pacific Standard Time. Height in feet

idea of leaving home for school, Maxwell enrolled at the University of Western Ontario which also has an excellent rowing program. However, it wasn’t long before he wished he was back on B.C. waters. He spent just the one year at the London, school before transferring to UBC. Under coach Mike Pierce, the Thunderbirds have a world class training facility — the John MS Lecky UBC Boathouse on the Fraser River in Richmond.

“I missed being in Vancouver but going away still was great,” continued Maxwell. “It brought up my maturity level and it taught me to row on my own. From that standpoint, it really tested me if I wanted to keep doing this.”

Soon after returning home, he was successful at trials for the national U23 team. It resulted in a hectic summer of 2013.

Maxwell went right from the U23 Worlds in Austria to joining Team B.C. for the Canada Games. It

was then off to training camp for his first season with the UBC rowing team. “I actually got hurt just from that volume of rowing,” he said. “It was crazy.”

He and the rest of his lightweight four crew will be working back east over the next several months with longtime Canadian coach Al Morrow. They will be training alongside the women’s eight that won silver at worlds.

The national team commitment means his studies towards a degree in biology will be on hold for now.

“This summer was the turning point for me,” Maxwell added.

“I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. If I was still on the U23 team I would be going back to school. But making the senior team and, what that level has in store, is just too good of an opportunity to pass up. I’m going to be putting my head down and going for Rio. It’s a chance you just can’t let slide by in your life.”

Like his brother, Aaron is ahead of schedule in his development. Rowing for B.C. at the 2013 Canada Games as a 17-yearold last summer was an impressive feat in itself, never mind reaching the podium too. The Games were a U21 competition.

He is focused in on school right now as he works towards a commerce degree in UBC’s Sauder School of Business.

The trip to France gave him a taste of what is to come. The Canadian crew, that also featured UBC teammate Angus Todd and a couple of Ontario rowers, was put together for the competition.

“You definitely learned from the other countries that have been there before,” said Aaron. “All you can do is focus on being the best you can be. We didn’t have a great start but made the ‘B’ final and won it. We were happy with the performance and it was a great experience for the next step in our careers.”

A couple of Ladner boys racing in the same boat on the waters of Tokyo at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games. That’s exactly where Maxwell and Aaron Lattimer are on course to be.

The brothers are two of Canada’s up-and-coming rowers who had a busy summer representing their country.

At 21, Maxwell is already a member of the senior national team and made his debut at the World Championships in Amsterdam last month.

He has put his university studies on hold and last week left for London, ON where he will train full-time as a carded athlete.

It’s the start of a journey leading up to next year’s Worlds which serve as a qualifier for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

The young Canadian crew is currently ranked 13th which is already good enough to get them to Rio de Janeiro. Hard work over the the next 11 months should only improve their position.

Not far behind him is Aaron.

The 18-year-old second-year student at UBC is fresh off competing for Canada at the International University Sports Federation (FISU) regatta in France two weekends ago. He is now preparing for the upcoming CIS and national championships and is in an excellent position to to be participating in next year’s U23 Worlds.

Six years from now, the Lattimers would be in the prime of their rowing careers. They have already raced together, winning gold for B.C. in lightweight fours at last year’s Canada Summer Games in Quebec.

“I’ve always been known as Maxwell’s little brother,” laughed Aaron. “It’s going to be a change not having him here this fall but I know he is out there chasing his dream and I hope to get the same opportunity as well. It’s great motivation for me to see what he has done.

Tsawwassen Lightning entertained the Surrey United Stompers in B.C. Coastal Girls Soccer League U13C action at Winskill Park on Sunday.

Tsawwassen’s Carrothers & Sheppard named to Whitecaps Elite Girls program A pair of players from Tsawwassen have been named to the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Girls Elite program’s U18 roster for the 2014-15 season.

Grade 12 defender Hannah Carrothers is back with the program for the second straight year. She joined the Whitecaps last summer after playing for Coastal FC of the B.C. Premier Soccer League (BCPSL).

She has already made a verbal commitment to play for Seattle University in the fall of 2015.

Meanwhile, Olivia Sheppard is one of six new players to the full-time roster. The Grade 11 defender also joins the program from BCPSL Coastal FC and had a leading role in the South Delta Sun Devils finishing second at the B.C. AAA girls championships back in May. Among the Whitecaps’ 2014 graduates was another local player — Alessia Azermadhi — who spent two seasons with the program and served as team captain this past year. She is now attending Princeton University.

The Whitecaps FC Girls Elite is a funded player development program unlike any

other in North America. It is designed to maximize a players’ potential on and off the field through a holistic development philosophy and an emphasis on individualized personal development plans.

The full-time U18 roster consists of players who exceled in the BCSPL and display the necessary technical, tactical, athletic and mental attributes required to advance from the club environment into a full-time accelerated high performance development program.

Players selected to this program train and compete solely as full-time Whitecaps FC youth players.

The team plays a series of exhibition matches against both CIS and NCAA teams, fellow Pacific Northwest clubs, as well as participate in elite college showcase events. The Whitecaps played Trinity Western University to a 2-2 draw last week.

Carrothers had one of the goals.

The Elite Girls program, which is based out of Simon Fraser University, has been expanded this year to also include 13 parttime players from the U14 to U16 age levels.
