The voice of Delta since 1922

New centre named after mayor Reach leaves Lois Jackson speechless when it announces facility will bear her name SANDOR GYARMATI

Mayor Lois Jackson was left emotional and speechless at Delta council Monday after receiving a surprise honour from the Reach Child and Youth Development Society. Members of the society, supporters and friends, as well as members of the Kinsmen Club, were on hand to hear a presentation by Reach representatives, who then surprised the mayor by announcing that a child development centre now under construction in Ladner will be named the Lois Jackson Kinsmen Centre for Children. Society president Donna Burke thanked the mayor and the Corporation of Delta for its pivotal support for the centre to help children with developmental disabilities. Located at Memorial Park, the 20,000-square-foot facility, which will also have a playground, will enable the society to double the number of children and youth with special needs it serves. “Delta’s support has been the

backbone of our project, allowing Reach to leverage your commitment with other donors and enabling Reach to close the door on our $5 million construction costs,” said Burke. Reach Foundation chair Denis Horgan said they’ve got roughly $600,000 still to go to furnish and equip the centre and hope to have it open by next fall. Jackson thanked those in attendance for the honour, saying they’re almost at the finish line. Reach, which also has satellite space at the North Delta Recreation Centre, is building the centre adjacent to the Ladner Pioneer Library on the former site of the Kinsmen House. It will offer therapy and counselling rooms, prevocational training, specialized lending libraries and an inclusive preschool with an accessible playground. It will also provide a new home for the Kinsmen Club of Ladner and Tsawwassen. Delta is providing a $1 million contribution towards the facility, along with additional provisions of land and services representing a further $1.3 million in value.

TFN could see huge windfall through taxes at new malls 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

The Tsawwassen First Nation could see itself reaping an even larger windfall from the Tsawwassen Mills regional shopping complex. According to National Public Relations, the 1.2-million-

square-foot mall, which opened two weeks ago at the corner of 52nd Street and Highway 17, attracted a whopping 284,000 visitors over its first six days. That’s a lot of shoppers paying GST and PST on purchases, but not all that money will head straight into government coffers because the TFN will hold onto a

portion of that tax revenue. The exact amount the First Nation government will keep and how much might flow to the roughly 400 members isn’t clear just yet, but tax dollars from Tsawwassen Mills, as well as the soon-to-open Tsawwassen Commons next door and other economic development projects,

could be huge. TFN CEO Tom McCarthy explained that under the TFN treaty, the First Nation has the ability to negotiate tax-sharing agreements with both Canada and B.C. with respect to GST and PST. “I can confirm that we are engaged in those negotia-

tions with Canada and British Columbia. This negotiation includes a discussion about what portion flows back to TFN from federal and provincial tax revenues,” he said. McCarthy said it’s too early to say what specific uses the TFN has in mind for that money. TREATY: see Page 4

Storms fail to pack punch Delta takes precautions but escapes relatively unscathed over weekend IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

An expected dose of heavy rain and high winds didn’t materialize as expected Saturday with little, if any, damage reported in Delta. “We were very fortunate. We had the emergency operations centre up and running when the winds were ramping up very intensely Saturday late afternoon, but fortunately as were tracking this storm, the eye of the storm sat right over Delta and Surrey and outlying areas of Vancouver and Richmond, so we missed it by about 30 to 40 kilometres,” said Delta CAO George Harvie. “We had about 30 staff from engineering ready to go in and clear fallen trees and debris, but we had only three downed trees and no other damage was reported.” As a precaution, the municipality closed off pedestrian access to the Delta Nature Reserve, Ladner Harbour, Fred Gingell and Watershed parks as well as beach access points.

Fred Gingell Park on English Bluff Road in Tsawwassen was one of a handful of parks closed by the Corporation of Delta as a precautionary measure. and Watershed parks was restored by 9 a.m. Monday. “A lot of trees came down in other municipalities and falling branches, so as a precaution we wanted to ensure that the public didn’t go into any of those areas,” said Harvie.

On Wednesday and Thursday of last week, municipal crews were out in force in the Boundary Bay and Beach Grove areas getting sandbags in place and installing temporary flood protection berms. Harvie said no flood-

ing was reported in any of those areas. “Normal precautions are now in place. Overall, we were very lucky and it might have changed had that eye of the storm not been over us,” he said. The high winds did cancel all ferry sailings from

Tsawwassen from 3 p.m. onwards Saturday. Ferry service resumed on all routes Sunday. At the height of the storm, tens of thousands of power outages were reported across the Lower Mainland, but Delta was spared for the most part.

With about 100 stores, Tsawwassen Commons is expected to be fully open by summer 2017. A few of the other tenants are Kin’s Farm Market, which will open a second South Delta location at the mall, as well as Metro Liquor, Quiznos, Wings Tap and Grill, A&W, Wendy’s and Starbucks, with the latter three all offering drive-thru locations. Once all the stores are open at both malls, their combined retail footprint will rival the size of the Metrotown shopping centre in Burnaby.

Treaty provides ability for TFN to collect tax

CONTINUED from Page 1 The Optimist reported in 2007, when the TFN’s historic urban treaty was about to be ratified by members, they were told a significant portion of taxes from non-members on treaty settlement lands would flow to the TFN. Much of the discussion at the time surrounded property taxes as well as how many years it would take for TFN members to lose their tax exempt status. There wasn’t any talk about shopping malls back then as it would be another four years before the TFN government came to tentative deals with Ivanhoe Cambridge and Property Development Group for the two malls. A document, also at the time, stated, “The issue will be: how can TFN manage all the wealth that will flow from the treaty.” While the TFN stands to collect revenues from each mall purchase, ironically, any First Nations person with a sales tax exempt card is finding the card isn’t good at Tsawwassen Mills.

Delta firefighters used their new pet oxygen kits to help save a pair of dogs rescued from a kitchen fire in North Delta earlier this month. The department received the kits through a donation from the Delta Scottsdale Lions Club in May and up until now had not had the opportunity to put them into action. Deputy fire Chief Paul Scholfield said the kits passed with flying colours. “It’s a pretty amazing tool,” Scholfield said. “In the past we would have had to make-shift a human oxygen mask, which really doesn’t work well on dogs. These masks made a big difference. This actual mask fits right over the dog’s snout, so they are getting 100 per cent oxygen, which in this case brought these dogs back to life.” Scholfield said the fire was called in on the evening of Oct. 7.

severe respiratory distress. “One dog started perking up right away from the oxygen while the other dog took quite a while before it did come around,” Scholfield said. “Around an hour later Delta Animal Services and a veterinarian technician took over and both dogs are expected to make a full recovery.” Scholfield said the department is very thankful for the donation and the fact it now has this specialized equipment at its disposal. “We are pretty excited about the kits and how they worked.”

Former superintendent appointed lone trustee

Dianne Turner replaces board in Vancouver 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

A familiar face in Delta education circles will now be running things in the controversial Vancouver School District. Former Delta superintendent Dianne Turner has been appointed as the official trustee to replace the entire Vancouver school board. Education Minister Mike Bernier made the announcement Monday after he fired all nine of the elected trustees. “Parents in Vancouver and the province are counting on Ms. Turner to end the continuing turmoil that has dominated the Vancouver school board for too long,” Bernier said in a statement. Citing a misplaced focus

Dianne Turner on political tactics rather than responsible stewardship, the minister outlined a number of concerns regarding the Vancouver board, which failed to pass a balanced budget in June despite being required by law to do so. The firing came despite a budget meeting scheduled for that evening, the minister say-

ing he’s lost confidence in the board. He noted the results of an audit raised additional concerns. Turner, who will assume all the duties required of a board of education, including conducting public meetings, will be in the position for a year with the option to extend. Earlier this year, Turner, who had been the Delta district superintendent since 2010, was hired by the ministry as chief educator for B.C. Turner, a former principal in the Vancouver school system, spent eight years in Delta, first as assistant superintendent and then as superintendent. The Delta district noted she has been a fierce advocate for learner success and innovative teaching.

Charity contacts police after expensive bracelet is placed in its donation box The Delta Police Department is seeking the owner of an expensive piece of jewelry. A Ladner charity reported last month that a gold bracelet with diamonds had been placed in its donation box within the last few weeks and is concerned it may have donated inadvertently, according to police. “This bracelet is unique

in design and is of significant value,” states a police media release. The charity has asked not to be named, noted Delta police spokesperson Sharlene Brooks. Police are attempting to identify the owner of the bracelet to determine whether it was intentionally donated. “The bracelet is unique enough that the owner

would be able to provide police with sufficient descriptors to prove ownership,” the release states. Police request the owner to call 604-9464411 and ask for Const. John Smith or Sgt. Mo Parry quoting file number 16-19953. If the owner isn’t identified, the bracelet will be accepted as a donation, police say.

Hospice urging FHA to be cautious Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) service could impact how palliative care is perceived 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

All the good work by palliative care providers could be badly damaged by how federal legislation legalizing medically-assisted death is implemented, warns Delta Hospice Society executive director Nancy Macey. Making a presentation at the Fraser Health board public meeting at the Delta Town & Country Inn last Wednesday, Macey urged the health authority to proceed cautiously when implementing a new program of doctor-assisted death for those with an incurable illness. Parliament passed the legislation this June, following a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling last year that struck down the ban on physician-assisted dying on the grounds it violated Canadians’ charter rights. “We know that it’s law for medical assistance in dying, there’s no question about that, but it’s really a question about how we implement it in Fraser

Health,” Macey cautioned. She told the board many people put off seeking end of life support and the perception that medicallyassisted deaths would be carried out at palliative care facilities operated by groups like Delta Hospice would create even more

trepidation, and even mistrust, which could erode programs. “People at home would avoid access to the program, which they already do, will not have 24-hour access to symptom management or caregivers to help transfer, toilet and

bathe patients once they are in advanced stage of disease. We have seen caregiver burnout and emergency room visits where they will die or be admitted to acute care. Patients would occupy acute care beds because of fear of accessing hospice care,”

she said. Noting there appears to be a lack of transparency and consultation as discussions are only occurring at senior levels, Macey said in order to avoid confusion there needs to be a clear distinction between what’s

provided at her society’s Harold & Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care in Ladner and the health region’s evolving Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) service. That service is better suited at separate designated facilities that still offer patients support and dignity, she said. Adding faith-based groups might also be reluctant to involve themselves with her society if it had to provide medically assisted deaths, Macey presented the board a petition with over 3,000 signatures gathered by a physician. Fraser Health said the board has been discussing the matter but no decision would be made at this time, noting the legislation states no person would be forced to provide or help to provide medical assistance in dying. At last week’s FHA meeting, board member John Bethal told Macey they don’t want to rush to any decisions, which is why they want to go through a careful process.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

oday marks the two-week anniversary for Tsawwassen Mills, and after a crazy opening stretch, we’re already seeing things, thankfully, normalize at the mall at the Tsawwassen First Nation. When the massive centre opened on Oct. 5, it was a given that shoppers would flock from far and wide to see what it was all about. Whether they were there for the deals, to check out stores making their initial foray into B.C. or just to see what 1.2 million square feet of retail space looks like, it was undoubtedly going to be a madhouse. Opening day wasn’t too bad from a traffic standpoint, but that first weekend, particularly the Saturday, was such a nightmare that Delta police officers had to step in to try and keep things moving. The numbers for the opening week were staggering: Approximately 284,000 shoppers visited the mall over its first six days, according to figures from developer Ivanhoe Cambridge, which is more than 47,000 per day on average, or almost equivalent to the population of Tsawwassen and Ladner. The chaos that ensued had many worried the new norm around here would be plugged highways, jammed parking lots and spillover into residential neighbourhoods, but as much as the opening week was wild, it was also likely to be an anomaly. Like border crossings or ferry terminals on summer long weekends, there are times when malls are ridiculously busy, and opening weekend for B.C.’s biggest collection of outlet stores would certainly qualify as one of those times. Throw in the fact shoppers were still trying to figure out the best way to get to, and around, the mall and it’s no surprise gridlock ensued. From various accounts, the mall’s second weekend was busy, but not anywhere near as silly as the opener, so we’re already seeing things calm down. That’s not to say we’re out of the woods just yet, with Black Friday, Christmas season and Boxing Day all on the horizon. And that doesn’t even take into account Tsawwassen Commons, the 100-store strip mall due to open across the street from Tsawwassen Mills in the coming months that will bring its own share of traffic to the party. It’s a new reality, that’s for sure, but the impacts, at least traffic-wise, will only show up intermittently.

Find peaceful coexistence by understanding our wildlife

t’s a jungle out there, and I’m not talking about the traffic jam in the Tsawwassen Mills parking lot. The jungle is my neighbourhood and a recent evening walk with my dog Rosie proved it. That night the animal kingdom revealed itself immediately after I closed the garden gate. Across the street a skunk scurried under a bush and by the pungent smell in the air, I knew it had just sprayed a potential predator. Two blocks away I spotted a family of raccoons sprinting from one garden to the next scavenging for food. Minutes later a great blue heron announced it was heading for bed, croaking like a demon as it glided high above me onto the branch of a giant fir tree. On the home stretch I was stunned to see a large coyote running right in front of me. I was transfixed by its lean, muscular body as it accelerated down the street, fading into the evening light. In 20 minutes I encountered four urban species of wildlife. While I may be in awe of these urban critters that surround us, for most people they are more of a frustration than fascination. My neighbour is justifiably upset that a resident of Beach

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

Grove is religiously feeding raccoons every night at 8 p.m. This is not cool, it threatens our pets and encourages raccoons to produce more litters. Whoever you are, stop doing this. Then there is property damage due to urban critters. My next door neighbour installed an electronic ultrasound pest repeller to keep hungry raccoons from pulling back his new sod so they can search for grubs. It worked. The chafer beetle, which crows and skunks also like to eat, is on the march to South Delta so be prepared to defend your lawn. Coyotes are naturally scared of people but not your pets. A few years ago a dog was attacked by a coyote in Ladner Harbour Park

and almost died. Keep your pets indoors at night and report coyote sightings to your neighbours so they know they are in your area. Black squirrels torment Rosie while they ravage our hazelnut tree for four weeks in late summer, leaving a terrible mess. Rats scurry along our fences while we enjoy outdoor eating and nest in our bushes. Pesky crows love to dislodge garbage cans and spew mess all over the road on garbage day. These are small tribulations in the bigger picture of responsible stewardship towards urban critters. Respect, patience and a peaceful coexistence are the goals. The SPCA recommends animal proofing your home by sealing up decks and entrances into your homes, sheds and barns. Never feed, relocate or poison animals, they deserve better. My dog is my bridge to the natural world and so are the animals that live beside us in our neighbourhoods. Understanding their behaviour and adapting to their world is the best we can do so I can enjoy my jungle. I’ll take it over the concrete one any day.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

Riding already has capable MLA

Editor: Re: Liberals set sights on Delta South, Oct. 12 I could hardly believe my eyes when I read the article. What caught my attention was the statement attributed to Premier Christy Clark: “She said Hamilton has done a tremendous job representing both North Delta and South Delta....” So just what is it that Scott Hamilton has done for South Delta? We have a most capable and intelligent MLA in Vicki Huntington. Huntington brings up issues of concerns to her constituents

in South Delta and has the freedom to speak out in the legislature without need to receive the approval of a party leader to do so. She and her staff ably represent the interests of her constituents. It is notable that some of Hamilton’s constituents contact Huntington’s constituency office for assistance. This is an unfortunate reflection on Hamilton and his constituency office. MLAs are elected to not only participate in the overall affairs of the legislature but also to represent the interests of their con-

stituency. From where I sit, Hamilton has been insinuating himself, without permission, into provincial matters that affect South Delta. Huntington is a person who acts in the interests of the majority of her electorate. It is my intention to work for and support Huntington in the next election. Please remember that an MLA of the governing party, or whatever party, is not free to speak in the legislature without the approval of that party to do so. Anita den Dikken

Operation Red Nose was founded in Quebec in 1984 to combat impaired driving and at the same time it supports amateur sport in our communities. The Operation Red Nose goal is to make sure anyone

who has been drinking, or is too tired, does not drive. By simply calling the dispatch number, a team of three volunteers will pick you and your vehicle up from your event and take you home safely. By offering a completely safe, free, confidential way to get home, lives are saved on our roadways. “We could not operate this program without our valuable volunteers,” said Lewall. “Last year we had 392 volunteers who did 592 rides. Volunteers are the basic ingredient for this excellent program to function. The added benefit is that through this service we benefit both the communities in which we live and we contribute toward amateur sports to benefit youth.” All donations go to amateur sport.

Going retro will make for unique Halloween With costumes getting stranger with every passing year, it just might be time to go old school

The last time I went to a Halloween party — perhaps when I was 20 — I think I dressed as Batgirl. Either that, or Minnie Mouse. Or Raggedy Ann. Or Mary Poppins. I really can’t recall. But I do remember thinking that my getup was downright brilliant. After all, as a kid, I could never think outside the costume box. I was a witch one year, a ghost the next, and a witch again the following year. I was horribly costume challenged. Thing is, there are no longer any ghosts out there, at least among the 20-something set. Today, when partygoers want to

KidSport to benefit from fundraiser at Triple O’s

Triple O’s seventh annual KidSport Day takes place at 37 restaurants throughout the province, including two in Delta, this Friday. The fundraiser helps financially under-privileged kids gain life skills like teamwork and selfconfidence from participating in organized sports. Donations cover annual sports registration fees for kids 18 and under, and all dollars raised go back to kids in the local community. On KidSport Day, Triple O’s will donate a loonie from the sale of every combo to KidSport chapters across B.C., so support stays in those cities and towns. Guests also have the opportunity to lend their support by making donations at Triple O’s restaurants leading up to the big day. Since 2010, Triple O’s has raised $191,650 and helped nearly 500 kids. This year, Triple O’s is aiming to beat last year’s

tally of $52,650 and help 150 local kids in need. Every $400 raised provides one B.C. child the opportunity to play team sports for a full year. The Delta locations — 9628 Highway 10 and 8579 Scott Rd. — raised $1,723.56 last year, a total they’re hoping to surpass on Friday. “Triple O’s guests continue to show their team spirit by generously supporting young B.C. athletes who might otherwise be left on the sidelines,” said White Spot and Triple

O’s president Warren Erhart. “Every year we shoot a little higher, and this year is no exception.” “Triple O’s has a proven track record of providing much-needed financial support to our organization through their amazing fundraiser,” said Pete Quevillon, director of KidSport BC. “Every year, Triple O’s guests from all corners of the province give our young athletes a chance to play organized sports, right in the communities where funds are raised.”

As a business planning advisor, I meet with lots of entrepreneurs full of ideas and energy. They’re always excited to share their dreams and vision for their business. But when I dig a bit deeper and ask questions about how they’ll accomplish their goals, I often hear responses like, “I have it all worked out in my mind,” “I’m not sure how I’ll do that,” “I still need to think more about that,” and, “I didn’t consider that.” Unfortunately, not all challenges can be resolved on the go. There are many actions entrepreneurs need to take to actually take their great idea to the next level, such as reflecting, evaluating and writing their plans, to ensure their business succeeds. Taking the time to think, analyse and write down your business plan is not only important for the business planning phase, it’s also vital for reflecting and learning during the start-up and growth journey. It will also help you develop your business along the way, from streamlining your operations, getting new clients and assessing your finances, among other great benefits. Here are seven business plan tips: 1. Focus, Focus, Focus Chances are, if you’re just starting off, you have dozens of great ideas

about your business, from marketing campaigns to operations. But the most important thing to do when you’re first writing a business plan is to focus. Take your time when you’re writing your business plan. Avoid distractions, find a quiet place and pay attention to the task at hand. When you’re ready, write down all your ideas on paper so they’re all right in front of you. Writing everything down in a focused way will allow you to run through all your great ideas in an organized and purposeful manner, which will help you move forwards on to the next step. 2. Evaluate Your Ideas Take the time to analyze and review the great ideas that you’ve written down, and then place them in order of most important to least important for starting your business off right. It will help you identify the resources your ideas will require and the time it’ll take to implement them. It will also help you realize how much you can do at once. 3. Go for It Being able to prioritize your ideas and plan out their needs will help you to define and set firm goals in your business plan. Make sure your goals are achievable, measurable and timely, too. Having goals firmly written down will focus your actions and give you direction. It takes a little effort, but it’s worth it — more certainty and less doubt will make you a more con-

fident entrepreneur. Now that you have your goals, it’s time to take action. Take your business plan, get the resources you need and go for it with your business. 4. Review Now take the time to go back and review the results of your plans. Compare the achievements with your goals. 5. Learn Did you achieve what you planned? If not, what did you learn from it? Were there any unexpected results? 6. Celebrate Success! This is the best step of any business, and one that we usually forget to do. Celebrate every one of your successes, whether it was learning something new or that you’re moving towards your business goals. Success comes in many forms. 7. Rewrite, Redo, Repeat Take what you’ve learned, and then write your new goals down, make a plan and move forward. Remember, starting a business isn’t an easy undertaking, so putting aside a little time to build a solid business plan will ensure you launch and manage your new business in the best way possible. If you have more questions or would like more information on how to write a business plan that works for you, reach out to me, Laura Aveledo, by booking an appointment through smallbusinessbc. ca.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS

Q: The market seems to be changing. Is this a

As fall approaches, what is your opinion on the “flu” shot? A: Thanks for this question: I am a firm believer in the influenza

vaccine as one of the preventative measures to keep yourself healthy this fall/winter. The vaccination, along with good hand hygiene, getting enough rest, avoiding contact (whenever possible) with those that are ill and good nutrition are all important steps to minimize your risk of contracting influenza. Last year there were over 37,000 confirmed cases of influenza in Canada, 5300 of these required hospitalization and 270 deaths were directly caused by influenza. These figures are considered very low as complications/infections/deaths indirectly related to influenza were not counted. The vaccination will be available starting in mid-October and is provided at no cost to many. The vaccine contents change each year; this is why we recommend an annual immunization. There are a few different types of influenza vaccinations available this year, come and see me to determine which would be the most effective one for you. “Who Cares? I Do” is not just a slogan – it is THE reason Paul Gibbons, Pharmacist/Owner at the Medicine Shoppe in Tsawwassen, looks forward to helping you every day.

good time to buy?

The South Delta market has certainly experienced some interesting times over the last year. Until recent months, it has been a strong Seller’s market due to a combination of high demand and low inventory. As a result, prices soared and the buying environment became very competitive. However, just this summer, a new gov’t imposed tax to foreign buyers and now most recently (as of this week), Garrett Chu tougher lending rules, have changed the landscape of the real estate Vice President market by limiting the amount of available funds in the marketplace. We are now seeing a deﬁnitive Buyer’s market in the detached segment with sales to active listing ratios dipping below 10% in September. To put this into perspective, fewer than 10 homes out of 100 active listings are RE/MAX Progroup Realty selling each month and inventory is approximately double what it was 5360 12th Avenue 12 months ago. With more selection, Buyers now have an opportunity to purchase under more traditional circumstances. For example: writing Delta 604.728.2845 offers with subject conditions or in non-competing scenarios. It wasn’t www.fraserelliott.com long ago when many listings were sold with multiple offers (many of Top 100 them subject free). It is in times like these that many buyers fear making RE/MAX REALTORS® any decisions due to uncertainty of the marketplace when, in fact, it is WORLDWIDE 2011+2012** in these times that buying can be an exciting, less stressful experience. #1 Agent in Ladner/Tsawwassen YTD 2016* If history can provide any insight as to what’s to come in the future, #1 Ranked RE/MAX Team in Western Canada YTD 2016** the Greater Vancouver Real Market has proven time and time again #3 Ranked RE/MAX Team in Canada YTD 2016** to bounce back from market slowdowns and owning real estate has *based on total MLS sales in 2016 **based on total residential & commercial generally been a rewarding and positive endeavour for homeowners. commissions earned Jan-Jun 2016.

QUESTION:

Q: Is adding your adult child on title to your house to avoid probate fees a good idea?

Why would I book cruise vacations with an Expedia Travel Consultant?

A: The simple answer is no.Using joint ownership to try to avoid probate fees may seem like a good idea, but it can actually result in a whole host of problems including increased risk.

ANSWER: Since travel is considered a highly prized purchase most people want to know they’re booking a trip that is right for them, at the best possible price. With so much information available online, travelers want advice and expertise from someone they trust. In recent years,

Sandy Drover

the demand for knowledgeable, personable travel professionals has been increasing, especially for booking complex products like cruise vacations. According to Cruise Lines International Association, approximately 85% of people will do significant research online, but will ultimately book with a travel agent.

Q: How do I make sure my Will takes care of those I love and the causes I care for?”

A: Having a legal Will can give you peace of mind knowing that your final wishes will be met and loved ones will be taken care of after you have gone. It also gives you the opportunity to make a meaningful gift in support of a charity that is near to your heart, without giving up assets during your lifetime.

Lisa Hoglund Interim Executive Director Delta Hospital Foundation

dhfoundation.ca

Making a gift through your Will can help to preserve more of your assets for your loved ones as well. A gift in your Will can also have significant tax savings for your estate. When a gift is made, a charitable tax receipt is issued to your estate which can help to reduce or eliminate final taxes owning. More information on making a charitable gift through you Will is available at the Donor Centre on our website: www.dhfoundation.ca To register your interest please contact Lisa at: lisa.hoglund@dhfoundation.ca or call 604.940.9695

Let’s take a look at the big picture. Once a person becomes a joint owner, the equity in the home could be made available to that person’s creditors in the event of a divorce,bankruptcy, or other financial legal settlement. For example, in a divorce your son or daughter’s spouse could demand that the divorce settlement include a portion of the equity in the property.In the case of a bankruptcy, your home may be at risk of being repossessed to pay off creditors. Another possible case could be that your son or daughter is involved in a car accident and ends up being sued for an amount greater than they’re insured for. Instead of providing your child with a“nest egg,” you could end up losing everything even before you pass away. There are also tax implications.If your home is not your son or daughter’s principal residence, he/she would have to pay capital gains on his/her percentage of interest in the property upon your passing, often amounting to more than the probate fee’s payable. And,adding a second registered owner to the title of the property means that they will need to sign any documentation relating to the subsequent sale or refinancing of it. To summarize, in most cases, we find that any benefits of avoiding probate fees using joint ownership are outweighed by the risks and costs involved.

Q: I have lost my first upper right molar, I still have my last molar on the same side. Is it possible to make me a small partial just for this side?

A: Yes, these are called unilateral partials. However there are circumstances that must be observed before your practitioner can commit to fabricating your prosthetic.

The remaining teeth adjacent on each side of the missing tooth/ teeth must be caries (cavity) free and have no present movement. The prosthetic like all prosthetics should be checked on an annual basis for fit and function. Proper fit is of utmost importance. To prevent accidental swallowing, you must not sleep with the prosthetic Following your dental practitioners’ advice is paramount. When created properly patient’s absolutely love this type of partial. They can be made to feel similar to a bridge to your tongue. Be prepared to possibly have a clasp showing in favor of safety but clasps in most cases can be hidden. If you have any questions regarding this or any other implant or dental related subject please do not hesitate to call or make an appointment for a free consultation.

Are we better off Renovating or Re-Locating? That’s the Big Money question!

ANSWER:

Mike Phillips owner

For obvious reasons your realtor will make a good case to simply re-locate (ah, but not so simple!) Conversely, a good Renovator can take that existing house and make it your Dream Home! In my opinion there are 3 main factors to consider: 1. Do we enjoy living in our present location, as it is a lot of work and expense to re-locate. 2. Can we work with this existing house and bring our ideas to life here. 3. How long do we foresee ourselves in this location. All very important considerations indeed! First is going to be personal for each family and I just take into consideration the upheaval involved to re-locate. Second is where consultation with a professional Renovator can help you in the re-configuration or addition to your existing layout. Third and most important with regards to your investment in any renovation is your commitment to location. If you have a short 1-3 year plan in mind then cosmetics and immediate repairs only or you risk losing most of your investment. If you foresee a 5-10 year stay then I feel you are safe in the 50K to 150K investment into your property upgrades as you are now renovating to increase the value in your home plus adding livability and quality to your lifestyle! Beyond that time frame it’s only about wants vs. needs and the total affordability of your Dream Project! MRP Renovations is here to solve all your renovating Want’s and Need’s!

I was in your store and looking at your banknotes and there were a lot of terms that I did not understand. What are RADARs , replacements and low numbered notes?

ANSWER:

Every profession has it own terms they use and ours is no exception. This month I will list and explain as many of the terms used for banknotes as I can. Low numbered notes are bills with serial numbers below 500. The most expensive number is 0001 and they sell for around $1,000.00 each. For each number after that the value diminishes until about # 500 where there is no premium above the collector price of a regular note.

Hi Connor, This is a fairly common problem with older faucets. Even though it seems like a single line, there are still separate hot and cold lines coming into that faucet. They will have separate cartridges and separate washers etc. Hot water lines tend to need more maintenance than cold water ones as the temperature wears things out faster. In a case like this, it may be as simple as a washer or gasket that has broken down and created a partial plug in the hot water line. It is a fairly simple fix.You would start at the faucet cartridge(s) but, the plug may be in the shut-off valve or the supply tube, leading to the faucet. If that’s the case, leave the job to us.

A solid number is a note where all the numbers are the same, such as 11111, 22222 etc. Most solids in new condition also sell for $1,000.00 and up. However for Canadian notes with 7 digits in the serial number if only 6 are the same with 1 different they only retail for $20.00 approximately.

Replacement notes occur when a bill is damaged during printing. Banknotes are printed in sheets 500 deep (used to be sheets of 40, now 32) and with their numbers jumping 500 as you go across the sheet. To keep the counts in stacks consistent with the printings , a replacement note is inserted for every damaged banknote. From the 1950s up to the 1970s these replacement notes were identified by an astrix ( * ) in front of the serial number prefix. In the late 1970s and 1980s an X as the third letter in the serial number prefix ( ex. ABX or EBX ) identified a replacement. These are all very collectable and prices are determined not only by the condition but by the prefix letters of the bill. Some prefixes are much scarcer than others.

Our mom is a constant source of worry with us living so far way. What more can we do ensure she is managing in her home?

Here are a few helpful tips: • Call your health authority to arrange for an assessment - this gets her name in the system and can open some avenues for further support.

RADARs are notes where the serial number reads the same forwards as backwards, such as 1234321 or 1125211. A solid is also a form of RADAR. RADARs with only 2 different numbers in the serial number are worth more than ones that have 3 or 4. Canadian notes can only have up to 4 different numbers in them but American can have 5 different.

Last are Test notes. These are issued to test different papers and how they wear during circulation. For the 1954 notes ,only $2 notes had test versions and their prefix are E/R ,G/R and S/R. These test notes range from $35 to$10,000 dollars. For the 1972 $5 the test note prefix is RS Note that only a specific range in these prefix’s are actual test notes. For the 1973 $1 bill all prefix’s AXA and EXA are test notes.

Where quality counts

Darcy Heisler Enagic Independent Distributors

Most of us take antioxidant supplements to reduce the oxidation caused by free radicals, the culprits behind aging and diseases such as cancer and any other inflammatory and/or autoimmune illness. Very simply put, free radicals are cells that have lost an electron. Antioxidants give an electron to these cells to make them balanced again. This is good however it leaves behind another denatured (free radical) cell . . . a less intense free radical but a free radical none-the-less. The exquisite beauty of the antioxidant qualities of alkalized, ionized Kangen water is that, through the natural ionization process, a myriad of free electrons is produced. These balance the existing free radicals without creating more!! To learn more about the health benefits of this amazing water, please call or visit our website.

Hawthorne Elementary students sit at one of the Buddy Tables added to the school grounds last week.

Colourful tables at Hawthorne ensure everyone has a buddy DAVE WILLIS

d w i l l i s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Students at Hawthorne Elementary in Ladner recently saw colourful new additions to the school grounds. Two multi-coloured “Buddy Tables,” one for primary students and the

other for intermediates, were officially introduced last week. The purpose behind the tables is to eliminate loneliness and to help students create new friendships on the playground, explained PAC co-chair Kim Barnes. “It’s just inclusion for all,” she said.

The idea is that any student feeling in need of a friend or wanting to make new friends will head to a Buddy Table where others can join them. Principal Matt Carruthers said the Buddy Tables tied in well with a positive behaviour support program where kids

review the expectations of the school. The tables have been well received by students, said Carruthers. “Right after they were painted kids wanted to get on them and rip those wet paint signs down. They wanted to get on them and use them,” he said.

If you are looking for a donation, you can also post what you are seeking. “I created this site almost three years ago in hopes that it would not only relieve some stress during tough times, but also to make you feel supported and bring you happiness,” she said. The site has been successful and now with the Christmas season of giving and helping needy families fast approaching, Delf is hoping to utilize the site to help others with donations for Christmas hampers. “I seem to be helping more and more families in the Surrey area and the donations for the hampers will be for children who go to Old Yale Elementary School, which is located in a very low-income pocket of Surrey,” she said. “The need out there seems to be significantly greater than it is here. The principal is having a tough time narrowing down three families, so I’m hoping that we can get enough donations to create hampers for up to 10 families.” To help out you can log into the Facebook group or email Delf directly at andreadelf9@hotmail.com.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS What are some tips for a better sleep with CPAP? So, you found out you have sleep apnea and are trying to get used to the CPAP therapy but struggling. This is completely normal. CPAP does take some time to adjust to, but remember this is for your health! Tip #1 – Use your mask every time you go to sleep Using your therapy every night will ensure your sleep is consistently good. Develop a sleep routine and stick to the therapy to ensure optimal results. Tip #2 – Practice, practice, practice! Practice putting it on in front of a mirror, and once comfortable try it lying down and adjust as necessary. If you feel anxious about putting it on, wear it before you go to bed while watching TV. Tip #3 – Use a humidifier Air pressure from the CPAP can often make your nose and throat dry. Distilled water in your humidifier chamber, can decrease that dry uncomfortable feeling.

QUESTION I have been told I speak quite loudly. Does this have anything to do with my hearing? ANSWER Voices come in many different varieties — some airy and high-pitched, some gravely, some deep and resounding.

Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

If you’ve been told you speak loudly for as long as you can remember, chances are you were born that way (now go ahead and enjoy a career in public speaking or auctioneering!) However, sometimes a loud spoken voice can indicate a possible hearing loss. Our ears (and brain) listen as we speak and modulate our voices according to how much we are hearing ourselves. If you’re experiencing some form of hearing loss, the volume of your voice in your head is reduced, and so you increase the volume of your voice to compensate. This may lead you to speak louder than is necessary (and, sometimes, comfortable) for others. So while many around you may tell you to learn to speak softer, the real solution may be addressing the underlying problem: hearing loss.

Flying start for DHA female team Delta Hockey Academy’s inaugural girls program racking up wins in CSSHL play

IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The new hockey season has started for the Delta Hockey Academy with the introduction of the program’s first female squad. The female varsity team is off to a fantastic start and sits in first place in its division with a record of 6-1. Female varsity joins teams in bantam rep, bantam varsity (two squads), elite 15s, midget rep and midget varsity with all seven competing in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League. Academy director Ian Gallagher said it was only natural for the academy to create opportunities for female players to compliment the success of the male teams. “We are in the business of providing hockey for young athletes and we have been pretty dominant in providing opportunities for our male players, so thinking it would be great to provide the same opportunities for the female game, which is growing and expanding,” said Gallagher. “More than anything we needed to create a place for a passionate player to come to and the academies like ours are offering that opportunity to take advantage of high quality coaching and playing in high level, competitive leagues.” The team features a pair of local products: forward Macy Young from Tsawwassen and defence Kallie O’Hearn from North Delta. The rest of the team hails from South Surrey, Vancouver, New Westminster, Victoria, Burnaby, Abbotsford,

Delta Hockey Academy’s inaugural girls varsity team during a practice session last week at Planet Ice. Castlegar and Courtney. “The squad is for the most part made up of 2000 and 2001 players, which is why they are at a varsity level,” added Gallagher. “We are big believers in teaching up, so we want to work towards our best players and make certain those best players set the stage for the entire group. Our goal is that they compete and challenge to be successful every day and in every competition.” He said the ultimate goal is to not only have a successful team this year, but also to expand the DHA female program. “The way we grow that program is for the kids to enjoy it, get better and see value in it,” he said. “Next year we will have a new

varsity team and hopefully take this group up to the next level and mature and grow together at the prep level. We have to make an application to the league, but based on the early results, this group will be able to compete at the prep level and I don’t think there will be any issues with us being able to have at least two female teams.” Gallagher said the early season success of the team is encouraging, but stressed that success just didn’t happen by accident. “It starts with the players and then it works up into the coaches and then people like us at the director level have to do everything possible to augment and support everything that players and coaches

do,” Gallagher added. “The coaches did a tremendous job of vetting the players, but the players themselves have come with the right attitudes and the collective belief that this could be a real positive experience both individually and collectively.” Head coach Owen Pighin said he is extremely happy with the teams’ start. “We are really impressed with the dedication and the effort. This is a different system, early mornings, travel, so it’s a lot ask of them, but they are up to the challenge,” Pighin said. “It’s a true eye-opener for them. You get your team bonding happening, but everyone gets to see how hard and challenging these

road trips can be for all teams. You are on the bus, in the hotel, the preparation — all these players have to experience that and see what it takes to get to the next level, which is NCAA, or CIS.” Pighin said the team has a lot of pressure living up to the level of expectations that are put on all DHA teams, but at the same time, he feels the team has embraced that pressure. “We are pretty detailed on individual goals, but at the same time, team first all the way,” he said. “Our goal is to compete. Our goal is to do the best that we possibly can and at the end of the day any team that has those types of goals will end up with success.”

Academy teams making early statements in league play IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

It’s only been a month, but already Delta Hockey Academy teams are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League. Out of the seven teams competing, three are leading their divisions with another team in third place, two points out of first and two other teams in fifth place also

only a couple of points behind the leaders. Bantam Prep is 5-0 in first place, Bantam Varsity Green is 5-0 in first place, Delta White is 3-1-1 in third place, Female Varsity is 6-1 and in first place, the Elite 15s are 4-1-1 in fifth spot, Midget Prep is 3-0 in fifth place while Midget Varsity is off to a tough start at 1-5. Academy director Ian Gallagher said he is pleased with the start, but stressed that it has only been

the first month and that there is lots of work left in the season. “We think wins and loses are a consequence of doing the right things and we have stressed that early,” he said. “Attitudes and behaviours, work ethics and commitments are big values. Our saying this year is ‘It’s on You,’ so we have really put the oneness on the players to take responsibility on individual and collective success and for the most part, everyone

has started off strong.” Gallagher said all of the coaches have year plans and those year plans are based upon instilling news systems and new ways of playing. “It’s all about increasing the potential of what it takes to be a hockey player,” he said. “There are lots of things that go into making these players successful and ready for the next level whatever that may be. Really, it just takes time.”

Delta Ice Hawks goaltender Jordan Naylor turns aside this scoring chance in his team’s 6-1 road win over the Richmond Sockeyes last Thursday.

Ice Hawks roll in Richmond IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The Delta Ice Hawks saw its four-game winning streak stopped by Abbotsford only to see a new winning streak start following a big win over Richmond in Pacific Junior Hockey League action last week. With a 5-2 home ice setback against the Pilots and a 6-1 whitewash of the Sockeyes in Richmond, Delta moved to 6-5 on the season and sit alone in second-place in the Tom Shaw Conference, four-points back of first-place Grandview Steelers. Thursday night at Minoru Arenas, first-period goals by Mark Trotman and Tetsuya Prior put the Ice Hawks on top. Richmond got one back late in the sec-

ond, but a four-goal third period sealed the win. Prior, Cameron Cuthbert, Jonathan Stein and Marcus Sihota all scored in a 13-minute span to put the game out of reach. At home last Tuesday, Delta spotted the Pilots a three-goal lead thanks to a natural hat trick by Jackson Waniek and never fully recovered. The Ice Hawks tried to make a game of it after a pair of second-period goals by local product Jordan Bogress both assisted by Trotman and Stein, but the Pilots proved to be too much to handle scoring a pair in the third to put the game away. Delta visits Aldergrove Wednesday before returning home Tuesday to host Ridge Meadows Flames at 7:35 p.m.

KNOWLTON, Robert Ellis Born in Southampton, England, Ellis passed away October 7, 2016 at the age of 94 at the Waterford Care Centre, Tsawwassen. He was predeceased by his wife, Mavis, of 60 years in 2012. During WWII Ellis flew Spitfire reconnaissance missions as an RAF pilot, mainly in Italy. After the war Ellis was educated at Southampton University as a Chemist but practised primarily as a Chemical Engineer. He worked for Imperial Chemical Industries for many years, rising to a senior management position. During his time at ICI he was one of the principal developers of a process safety technique called Hazop. In 1980 Ellis and Mavis immigrated to Canada and Ellis joined Chemetics International to continue his interest in process safety and in particular Hazop through which he achieved International recognition. In this capacity he travelled the world teaching Hazop. Upon retirement he and Mavis enjoyed many hours on their boat cruising the Gulf and San Juan islands, and many cruises throughout the world. Ellis’s WWII service was also recognized while in retirement by an invitation to attend the Flying Heritage Museum in Everett, Washington where he gave talks on his wartime experiences and witnessed the flying of the Spitfire which meant so much to him. Ellis leaves behind Anastasia Kyrtsos and many special friends. Thank you to the Wexford & Waterford over the past 6 months for their excellent and compassionate care. No service by request

NEMETH, Frank .

12 October, 1933 13 October, 2016

Frank left us this morning for an early flight. Predeceased by his first wife Ella, his sister Helen and daughter-in-law Lene. He will be lovingly remembered by his sons Mark (Tamara), Collin (Sheila); his wife Vivia; stepsons Lou (Alison) Du Hamel, Guy (Leah) Du Hamel; 10 grandchildren, Kelsey, Brent, Elishia, Kyle, Mitchell, Livia, Alec, Charles, CaSandra and Desmond; one great-granddaughter Lucy, sister Agnes Nemeth and sister-in-law Verna Hayward. Frank started his working years with a tool box at his side. He spent 21 years in the RCAF, flying Search and Rescue. When he retired from the Air Force, he went on to a second career with BC Parks and Housing, and then he spend a few years keeping the firetrucks rolling for the District of North Vancouver. After his final retirement, he continued repairing and rebuilding cars in the back garage until Vascular Dementia started to take charge. For the past 3Ω years, Frank has been a resident of Delta View Life Enrichment Center where he was lovingly cared for by an exceptional staff of trained care givers. A Gathering of his friends and family will be held in the Family Room at Delta View Life Enrichment Center, located at 9321 Burns Road in Delta, BC from 1:00 to 3:00 pm on Saturday, October 22, 2016.
