Second fatal accident in Delta in ’17 IAN JACQUES

Just over 1,500 voters submitted forms opposing Delta’s proposed name change, well short of the almost 7,000 needed to stop it.

What’s in a name? Plenty, according to Delta council and civic officials, who are moving forward with a plan to officially change the municipality’s title from the Corporation of Delta to City of
Delta. Civic politicians decided Monday to proceed to the next step by submitting a request to the province after insufficient opposition from local voters. “Time has moved on from some of these old terms,” said Mayor Lois Jackson. The idea came about earlier
this year when a civic delegation to Rotterdam, Netherlands found having “corporation” in Delta’s official name created a mistaken assumption Delta was a private business. The same problem occurred during a visit to Ottawa, said CAO George Harvie. Updating the name would
remove that problem, increasing Delta’s identity and role as a local government, he said. The only way residents could block the change was for at least 10 per cent of eligible voters to submit an elector response form registering their opposition by the March 31 deadline. JUST: see Page 4
A series of serious accidents, including another fatality, has Delta police’s top cop urging the public to slow down. During a 24-hour period last week, three accidents on Delta roadways saw police respond to the second fatality of 2017 while six other people were sent to hospital with various injuries. “Our goal was set out to have zero fatalities, and unfortunately we have not met that goal this year with Chief Neil two fatal Dubord accidents already,” said Chief Neil Dubord. “It continues to underscore the importance of us having a good traffic safety management program here in Delta.” A 56-year-old Surrey resident was killed in a truck accident in the 8200-block of River Road just before 11 p.m. Thursday. According to police, it appears the driver of the tractor-trailer lost control and slid into a hydro pole before the truck rolled onto its roof, trapping the driver. Emergency crews attempted to remove the driver from the vehicle, but he died at the scene. The first fatality of the year was a 40-year-old man from Surrey who died in a latenight, two-vehicle collision on Deltaport Way in late March. RIVER: see Page 3

Diefenbaker eyed for well Municipality looks to add emergency drinking water source in South Delta IAN JACQUES
C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r
The Corporation of Delta is looking to add an emergency drinking water supply source for South Delta. Last week Delta put out a request for proposals for a feasibility study to
evaluate a groundwater well in Diefenbaker Park. The study will assess the ground conditions, if there is available groundwater and the potential available flow and water quality from the groundwater. If the groundwater is found to be suitable, estimates would be prepared
related to the construction of a well for an emergency potable water source should there be a significant disruption to Delta’s water distribution system, such as a major seismic event. Late last year municipal staff applied for senior government funding for
the initial stages of the project. Funding was approved in March, with a total project budget of $49,500 to be shared equally between Delta and the provincial and federal governments. According to Delta staff, it’s anticipated the feasibility report will be
completed by the end of the year. If the idea proves to be feasible from both an emergency water supply and cost basis, design of the facility could start in 2018. Construction could also start later in 2018 or 2019 subject to Delta council approval.

Delta Police Department vehicles began sporting a new look earlier this month.
Police dep’t launches new look for its cruisers minimal, meaning current vehicles will not be redecaled. Instead, as new vehicles arrive they will be branded with the new design. Completion of the project is expected to take three years.
Delta police vehicles are getting a brand new look. This month the department is rolling out a new design for its cruisers. The roll-out will be progressive in order to keep costs
In 2013, the Delta Police Department updated its department badge, which was designed by the Chief Herald of Canada. The new badge reflects the green and gold of Delta, which has become the
formal department colours. In 2016, the DPD explored new design concepts for police vehicles that complemented the new colours. “This new design rec-
ognizes the important balance between a strong presence while portraying our community policing principles,” said Chief Neil Dubord. “I am proud of the new look.”
River Road West crash injures five, knocks out power
CONTINUED from Page 1 One of the accidents police are still investigating from last week saw an older red Mustang somehow leave the roadway at 112A Street and 79th Avenue in North Delta Thursday afternoon and end up wrapped around a
tree. One person escaped with minor injuries. The other was a twovehicle collision last Wednesday evening near River Road West that sent five people to hospital, one with critical injuries, and knocked out power to the area.

Dubord said investigators are looking at all possible factors, including speed, alcohol and road conditions. “Driving behaviour will play a factor in many of these accidents, but I’m not sure how the message can be communicated.
It certainly is concerning and something that continues to be a major priority for us,” he said. “I think the roads are only going to get busier. Certainly we will be having a busy construction season during the next few years in the municipality
of Delta and that in itself is a reason why we have to continue to dedicate resources to this. We will continue to work with our partners such as ICBC on speed and road awareness campaigns, but at the end of the day, the responsibility rests on the drivers.”

Just over two per cent of voters sign form opposing name change to city
CONTINUED from Page 1 According to a report made public last week, the number of electors in the municipality is estimated to be 69,928, so 6,993 forms registering opposition were needed. The total number of verified response forms submitted was 1,506, just over two per cent. As far as those who registered their opposition, 1,450 forms came from South Delta while just 56 came from North Delta. Harvie said the municipality had gone through a 48-day public consultation exercise, exceeding the 30-day requirement. A report to council notes the classification change will not impact Delta’s agricultural iden-
tity, municipal status nor the community names of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. “Farming and agricultural land remain vital components of not only Delta’s identity, but its economy, culture and history,” the report notes. Without naming Vicki Huntington, Harvie said Delta South’s former MLA had publicly expressed concern about the loss of Delta’s agricultural and environmental identity when that couldn’t be further from the case. The change would also have no impact on taxes, bylaws or grant opportunities, Harvie noted. As far as the opposition, the report adds “much of the feedback is based on

concern about a loss of historical identity, parks, recreation and culture director Ken Kuntz said there will be opportunities to celebrate Delta as a corporation and becoming a city, including creating a “history wall.” The budget for the name change is $5,000. The report notes that as far as signage and stationary, much of Delta’s branding does not include “The Corporation of” but simply indicates “Delta.” Some stationary, such as business cards, will require updating, but the strategy is to not replace those items immediately. If the province supports the request, it could take up to eight weeks to complete the process.

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r
In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association has launched a unique nationwide campaign to provide Canadians with an open platform to learn about Islam. The B.C. portion of the campaign launched Saturday at Delta’s Baitur Rahman Mosque where youth participants left by bike on their way to Salmon Arm on a sevenday trek. Ask Islam events will be held in Maple Ridge, Hope and Summerland. The youth riders will also hand out flyers along the way, making stops in Princeton, Penticton, Kelowna and Enderby. Similar rides will take place across the country leading up to Canada Day. “In Canada, there is, in reality, an acute shortage of correct, genuine and authentic information on Islam,” said Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

Tariq Azeem (left), Salman Khan and Naveed Ahmed are among those cycling to the Okanagan as part of the Ask Islam campaign. national executive director Norman Khalil. “Most people only know of Islam what they see in the papers and on news broadcasts, but that picture ignores most of this vast religion, which spans hundreds of cultures and dozens of countries and has such a rich and deep
tradition of learning and spirituality.” Khalil said Ask Islam is an interactive questionand-answer campaign where people can have their questions about Islam answered. He said the campaign comes at an important time.
“Increasing controversy surrounding Islam and Muslims in the west has created misunderstandings about Islam and a growing apprehension of Muslims,” Khalil added. “As a result, there is a growing need of grassroots engagement to remove these misconceptions.”
Only two Delta public schools managed to crack the top 100 in the Fraser Institute’s latest ranking of B.C. secondary schools. South Delta Secondary ranked 91st out of 293 schools last year while earning an overall rating of 6.8 out of 10. Seaquam Secondary also ranked 91st while earning the same rating. Meanwhile, private schools once again dominated the top of the Fraser Institute’s annual rankings with Southpointe Academy in Tsawwassen placing ninth overall, while earning a rating of 9.7 out of 10.

wing think tank. It uses results from annual province-wide exams, grade-to-grade transition rates and graduation rates. “Our annual report card reveals how schools perform year over year, so parents can quickly see if there are problems that must be corrected,” said Peter Cowley, director of school performance studies at the Fraser Institute. A greater number of secondary schools have experienced declines in performance than have improved over the past four years, according to the report. The Fraser Institute, which also publishes annual report cards on elementary schools, has long been criticized by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has described the reports as useless. The Delta School District has also been critical, saying they don’t accurately reflect the scope of what’s going on in public schools.

Lawn watering restrictions now in effect Metro Vancouver regulations limit homes to sprinkling three mornings a week until Oct. 15
Metro Vancouver launched its Stage 1 lawn watering restrictions this week to help conserve drinking water during the driest part of the year. Restrictions will be in place from May 15 to Oct. 15. Under the restrictions, lawns may only be watered on certain mornings. This is to reduce the load on the system during evening hours when demand is highest for domestic uses such as dishwashing, laundry and showers. “Water demand always goes up in the summer, which is also when we get the least rain,” said Darrell Mussatto, chair of Metro Vancouver’s utilities committee. “Reducing lawn watering has consistently proven to be an effective way to conserve water and lessen the strain on the region’s water transmission system.”
Residential lawn watering is permitted at the following times: • Even-numbered addresses on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 4 to 9 a.m. • Odd-numbered addresses on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 4 to 9 a.m. Lawn watering restrictions are part of Metro Vancouver’s Water Shortage Response Plan, which regulates how residents, businesses and local governments use drinking water in the summer months or during periods of water shortages. The plan also addresses other water use activities such as car and power washing. After the hot, dry summer of 2015, Metro Vancouver began a thorough review of its plan, and proposed changes are currently being considered for the spring of 2018.
Metro Vancouver’s population continues to grow by more than 35,000 people every year. As population rises, continued per capita rate declines can potentially defer the need to expand the drinking water supply and infrastructure. “A wet spring and a snowy winter isn’t an excuse to waste our drinking water in Metro Vancouver,” said Mussatto. “These regulations are in place to help residents develop long-term habits for drier years.” Local governments enforce lawn watering restrictions through bylaws. To help people maintain a healthy lawn while conserving water, Metro Vancouver has released a Waterwise Lawn Care Guide, which is available online and as a brochure. Search “Lawn Care” on www.metrovancouver.org.
Annual lawn watering restrictions came into effect throughout Greater Vancouver on Monday.

Absentee ballots won’t have impact on riding
Market season underway in Tsawwassen
Provincial outcome hinges on upcoming counts IAN JACQUES
C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Sebastien Anton of Baguette & Co. displays his baked goods during the first Tsawwassen Farmers Market of the season last Saturday. The market will be held every Saturday until October. It operates from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the ReMax parking lot, 5360-12th Ave.
Although the outcome in Delta South is clear, with Liberal Ian Paton winning the riding by more than 4,000 votes, the bigger picture in last Tuesday’s provincial election is certainly a lot murkier. With the Liberals currently holding a minority government with 43 seats to the NDP’s 41 and three for the Greens, absentee ballots and two official recounts will decide the final results when the final count is held between May 22 and 24. Elections BC spokesperson Andrew Watson said the time between election night (May 9) and the final count (two weeks) is standard, according to the Elections Act. “It has been done this way in B.C. since at least 1995 when the Elections Act had its last major rewrite,” Watson said. “The reason for the timeframe between initial count on
election night and final count is that in B.C. you can vote at any voting place in the province. If you live in Victoria, for example, and you cast your ballot in Prince George, it will actually be sent back to Victoria for counting and that happens across the province.” Watson said there are 179,380 absentee ballots that will be part of the final count. He said around six per cent of B.C. residents voted by absentee ballot in the 2009 election. That number rose to 10 per cent in 2013 and is just a little over 10 per cent again for this election. “Certainly we are seeing the absentee numbers rise as have people voting in advance polls as well,” said Watson. A riding-by-riding breakdown of the absentee ballots will be released just prior to the final count starting on May 22, Watson added. Elections BC has also confirmed that two rid-
ings — Courtenay-Comox, currently won by the NDP, and VancouverFalse Creek, currently won by the Liberals — will see recounts, while recount requests in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain, Maple RidgeMission and RichmondQueensborough were rejected by Elections BC as they did not meet the requirements set out in the Elections Act. Although the outcome will not change significantly in Delta South after absentee ballots are counted, that certainly wasn’t the case in the 2009 election. Liberal Wally Oppal won the riding by just three votes on election night over independent Vicki Huntington. After the 900 absentee ballots were counted and a recount, Huntington won the riding by a 37-vote margin. A judicial recount was then held, which did not change the totals, sending Huntington to Victoria for the first of her two terms.

potential minority government could usher in electoral reform in B.C., which, rather ironically, would almost certainly lead to more minority governments. With absentee ballots to be counted and recounts to be undertaken, we’re still a long ways from a final outcome in last Tuesday’s provincial election, however, should all that counting leave us without a majority government, you can bet the king-making Greens will leverage their three seats to push for a revision of the way we vote, namely switching to some sort of proportional representation. The Greens have been hurt the most by our first-past-the-post system in recent years and even this month’s breakthrough, where the party got more than 16 per cent of the popular vote, only gave it three seats in an 87-seat legislature. Proportional representation would change that moving forward (the Greens would have won 14 seats had it been in place this time around), but with a viable third party now in the mix, it would almost certainly spell the end of the way we’ve been governed. The Liberals have been in power for the past 16 years, but you have to go back to 2001 when Gordon Campbell almost wiped the NDP off the map to find a B.C. election where a party has received at least 50 per cent of the vote. More recent elections saw the Liberals hold power with about 45 per cent of the vote. That works with our first-past-thepost system, where we routinely give 100 per cent power to parties that get as little as, in the case of the federal government, 40 per cent support, but that type of vote splitting doesn’t cut it with proportional representation. A minority government isn’t necessarily a bad situation as it forces parties to cooperate in order to get things accomplished, which theoretically means more input when legislation is being crafted, but that version of utopia rarely lasts for any length of time. Conciliation has never been a strength of our us-versus-them style of governing so if proportional representation is to work in B.C., it would take a fundamental shift of all involved. Easier said than done, I know, but at the end of the day, it makes sense to have voices at the ballot box be in step with those in the legislature.
Change is on its way but it’s not always easy to accept
T
here is a magical place at the end of Beach Grove Road in Tsawwassen. It’s a farmer’s field that hugs the dike along Boundary Bay. Despite the sign not to trespass, walkers and dogs are welcome, at least for a few more days. Almost daily for the past five years I have had the gift of walking the field with our dog Rosie. In the winter, I persevere with the wind and rain lashing my face, trudging through giant puddles and mud. In spring, the green grass appears and the tender leaves of the majestic deciduous trees that border the field unfold. Eagles nest in two giant trees and sit in groups watching for prey until it’s time to go north for salmon. In the summer, it’s hot and dry and part of the field is flush with potatoes and rutabaga, but it’s the grass left to grow tall that the dogs love the most, disappearing into a miniature world of smells and small rodents. I have met people from White Rock who come to walk the field and as far away as London, England. The private land will soon be fenced off so no one can enter. The new owner is leasing the land to organic farmers and adhering

to organic standards means no pets allowed. It’s been the talk of my community: “What will we do without the field?” The property owners have been nothing but generous and it’s their right to farm it, but losing the field will be a big change for Rosie and I. We are going to miss its expansive space and calming atmosphere. Change has been gripping me on the home front too. A loved family member suddenly passed away, my sister-in-law with Alzheimer’s is going into extended care and I have family and neighbours struggling with cancer. Greek philosopher and pioneer of wisdom Heraclitus said it best, “The only thing that is constant is change.”
Just around the corner there is a gentle reminder that while change brings loss, there is always rebirth. The rufous hummingbirds are nesting in the trees beside Beach Grove Elementary and bird watchers, with their majestic camera lenses, patiently gather for a glimpse of these delicate, beautiful creatures. A birder offers me his viewfinder so I can see what the human eye cannot. A tiny threeinch mother bird sits patiently on a two-inch nest waiting for her babies to be born high up in a tree branch. It’s an incredible sight. In native culture the hummingbird symbolizes the enjoyment of life and a lightness of being. They are regarded for their adaptability and resiliency while keeping a playful and optimistic outlook. I strive to be like the hummingbird, resilient to change and adaptable to the inevitable shifts in life while staying optimistic. This summer I’ll be rooting for a healthy harvest from the farmer’s field while Rosie and I find a new walking route and embrace the change that is ever present. Ingrid Abbott is a freelance writer who understands the need for change but doesn’t always like it.

The dog’s trail was soon picked up again and we tracked her through a number of yards, across 12th Avenue one more time and through the fire hall before a neighbour managed to pick her up. So to the three young ladies (I regret I didn’t get their names — there was no time for formalities) who ran all across town and back again, Sue and the many others who gave valuable directions, thank-you so much. Puppy is home, safe and sound. Andrew Conley
Editor: With all the congratulations to Ian Paton for his election, it is also time to record that he secured only 44.5 per cent of the votes cast. There are therefore 55.5 per cent of South Delta voters who will now be represented by a minority. This is, of course, the
nature of the first past the post system, which confers the right of the elected MLA to determine policy in accord with his party. In particular, it will be very pertinent to ask him how he will represent the majority of the voters in South Delta. It seems without question that they may not be
happy with transit plans, and the new bridge. The federal government under Justin Trudeau has broken their manifesto pledge to introduce a better voting system. South Delta has for too long been subject to policy and destruction by external interests. Peter Duffey
Not all roads in Delta are treated equally
Editor: As long-time member of the community, I find it troubling that the infrastructure work of the municipality seems to be biased. Take, for example, our street, 1A Avenue. The last time the road was paved was over 40 years
ago. Looking around town there are roads being done again and again. Why is this a concern? Well, approximately 18 months ago I had a work accident. Now I am confined to a wheelchair. Since our road is getting worse, the Corporation of Delta must be sending me
a message: stay inside. My last question: Does this mean I don’t need to pay for property tax related to roads since the Corporation of Delta has indicated through my inquiries that it doesn’t have the time to do our road? Mark Bukata

Certification for auto body shop
Tsawwassen Collision recently achieved a level of certification that only two other B.C. collision shops have reached. The Automotive Retailers Association has introduced a new certification program in cooperation with the national Automotive Industries Association. This certification is based on equipment as well as training and Tsawwassen Collision
is one of only three operations in B.C. to have achieved this certification. Tsawwassen Collision has been operating since 1995 and in the past 22 years its sales volume has grown to the point the 56th Street shop is in the top 10 per cent of over 450 ICBC-accredited collision facilities in B.C. Owner Peter Sziklai says this growth came through hard work and good ser-
vice, and with it came the opportunity and resources to re-invest in the business to stay at the leading edge of industry technology. Sziklai says modern cars are vastly different from vehicles of even 10 or 15 years ago. “We enjoy the relationship we have with the community and believe that we have a responsibility to provide repairs of a consistently high stand-
ard,” he says. In the past three years this re-investment has included specialized equipment additions and upgrades, and a strong program of staff training. Last December Tsawwassen Collision became the ninth shop in B.C. to achieve I-CAR Gold Class (I-Car is a U.S.-based training organization with a strong presence in Canada).

Over $10,000 raised for Reach at South Delta McHappy Day
It was another McHappy Day for the Reach Child and Youth Development Society. More than $10,000 was raised for the local organization as it was once again the beneficiary of McHappy Day at McDonald’s restaurants in Tsawwassen and Ladner on May 3. Proceeds from food and drink sales as well as a raffle, the sale of branded merchandise and donations totaled $10,024.85. “I have been proud to support Reach Society this last 10 years and a huge shout-out to our volunteers too numerous to mention individually, including from the Delta firefighters, Delta police and Envision Credit Union,” said Steve Krawchuck, who owns and operates both McDonald’s locations. As always, McHappy Day featured a variety of musical performances, including Southpointe Academy Treble Titans Choir and Holly Elementary Senior Choir. Local youth band Chaos Monkeys, dancers from the O’Brien School of Irish Dance and the Maydays Choir, which includes members with autism, also performed. Adult performers included Jenny Lundgren and Peg Keenleyside of the Jpegs Band and musicians Em Greene, Mike Greene and Irv Loewen. Long

Following your passion doesn’t lead to garden
It’s very difficult to keep up with colleague
Living Matters
BARBARA GUNN
A colleague at work has what can only be described as an off-thecharts garden. Never seen it face to flower. But I sure have seen the pictures. The colleague, who is Facebook obsessed, posts the images daily. There are big, fat blooms. There are bushes of stunning colour. There are vases of freshly snipped posies. No idea what any of them are. I can only say they’re pretty. But here’s the thing: the colleague works full-time. And so do I. Not a clue how she finds the time to plant the
things, let alone coax them to magnificence and get out there with the camera. It’s curious. When I get home from work, I want only to toss the nine-tofive garments and collapse in front of the television with a glass of sauvignon blanc. The colleague, I am guessing, has no time for Property Brothers or The Bachelorette. While I am stretched out on the couch wondering if the homeowners of the day will Love It or List It, she’s outside with her gardening gloves, her trowel and her wheelbarrow. And perhaps with her wine at her side. “Your garden is brilliant,” I told her the other day. “But where do you find the time?” The colleague, who always appears at work perfectly coiffed, and never with soil beneath her fingernails, beamed widely. “Oh, you know,” she said. “When I have a moment.” I pondered this reply. When she has a moment?
Man, when I have a moment, I manage only to brush my teeth or drag a brush through my hair. I do not create an off-thecharts garden — not in a matter of minutes. Such time limitation, I might add, has always tended to explain why my garden — if you can call it that — tends to resemble a dugout at a baseball field. If I manage to stay on top of the weeds, I think I’m doing well. The colleague, alas, has blown my excuse to smithereens. Time limitations? Heck, when I’m sleeping, she’s probably making a trellis for her roses and a fire pit for her barbecues. “You’re quite amazing,” I told her. “Not really,” she said modestly. “I mean, we need to make time for our passions, right?” I nodded, returned to my workstation and thought about her comment. Perhaps, I decided, she was absolutely right. Her passion, it’s clear, is working with plants. My passion, it’s clear, is the couch.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS TO DRAPE OR NOT TO DRAPE
Q: I’m considering doing some drapery in my house. Two questions; are draperies out of fashion? And what should I consider when doing new drapes?
I was in the pharmacy recently and kept seeing #GETLOUD – what is this all about? A. Thanks for the great question. #GETLOUD is our commitment
here at the Medicine Shoppe to support the Canadian Mental Health Association’s May awareness campaign. GET LOUD means speaking up to stop discrimination and stigma that often goes hand-in-hand with mental illness. It means using our and your voice to raise awareness and build support for your yourself, family members, friends, neighbours or anyone with a mental illness. In Canada, one in four seniors suffer from a mental illness and, as our population ages, this number is expected to increase dramatically. This means in OUR community, a minimum of 25% of our seniors are suffering from depression, anxiety, dementia or substance abuse/addiction. The stigma around mental health issues does prevent some from reaching out for help – our goal is to break the stigma and, working alongside your care team, provide as much support as possible during the treatment & recovery periods. Come speak with us about how we can best support you and your loved ones during this challenging period of their life.

Trends have a tendency to come full circle and drapes are no exception. After spending the last 20 years trending away from drapes, we’re seeing people coming back to that warm, homey feeling that has been lost over the years. Yes… drapes are back!

The first step is to have a vision and consider how you would like the drape to function. Fully functional drapes are often bulky. There are ways to reduce the bulk however. Different pleating styles can be used to change the way the drapes hang and reduce the “fullness” without making it look like you skimped on fabric. Often fixed, decorative panels are a suitable option when you want to accent your current décor without the bulk. It is always a good idea to consider the space and try to picture what you want the finished product to look like. The second and most overlooked consideration is hardware. Most people opt for adjustable pole systems that can be purchased at the local hardware store. The trouble being, these rods are usually flimsy and don’t work well if you’re planning on opening and closing your drapes. Unless you’re looking to do something very simple, it is a good idea to call in the pros. Budget Blinds offers free, in-home consultations and we’re happy to share our knowledge to help you through the process and make sure your selections are well thought out.

QUESTION: IS THERE EVER A GOOD TIME TO BREAK MY CLOSED MORTGAGE AND PAY THE PREPAYMENT PENALTIES?
Hi Paul, The City is doing a water-main replacement on my street. Should I be concerned that this may affect the plumbing in my house. Stan- Delta
ANSWER:
Sometimes Yes and sometimes No. Let the number dictate the best way to go. Often times clients can save money by paying their penalty and moving into a lower rate. A good mortgage professional will show you the numbers and it is their job to give you an honest and fair answer. If you’re thinking about breaking your current term, give us a call and let us show you just how those numbers look!

Q:
A: Women often report symptoms such as daytime fatigue, insomnia, lack of energy, morning headaches, frequent awakenings and mood disturbances. These symptoms are not specific to sleep apnea, so women can be misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression. A bed partner may hear snoring, pauses in breathing, or gasping during sleep. Women that are post-menopausal have a 3 times increased risk of having sleep apnea compared to pre-menopausal women. If you have been experiencing those symptoms, talk to your physician and complete the CanSleep online Sleep Evaluation to rule out sleep apnea.

Q: What are some common sleep apnea symptoms in women?
Hi Stan, It’s a valid concern. Any time you shut off and re-start large plumbing lines there can be issues. One thing that often happens is the moving of sediment.When a line is un-pressurized and then re-pressurized, dirt and corrosion can get dislodged and redirected down the main. The end result of this can be a plugged up PRV, (Pressure Reducing Valve), in your home. The PRV is a very important component of your home’s plumbing system and it’s something that you want to take care of. If you notice discoloured or dirty water or you have a drop in water pressure, a plugged PRV is often the culprit. Give us a call.We can test your water pressure, make sure your lines are clear and clean your PRV so that it doesn’t do any damage.
A:
I have been wearing dentures for many years and they are to the point that my gums are extremely sore and red: what can I do? Soft tissue management is the answer you are seeking. Rehabilitation of soft tissues is primary. First, your dentures require cleaning to remove offensive organisms that may be contributing to the inflammation and edema (swelling). Tissue conditioners (temporary soft lining material) are placed on the tissue fitting surface of your dentures to provide a clean positive adaptation to your gum tissues. Healing begins and your tissues #240 – 3671 are reassessed in a week to confirm the progress Westminster Hwy of healing. Generally a second and or third tissue Richmond BC V7C5V2 conditioner may need to be applied before proceeding to the construction of new dentures. New dentures promote a healthy clean fitting surface for many years. If you have any questions regarding this procedure or any other denture related subject, please book your free consultation with us.

local market has seen interesting fluctuations the past 12 months, but we are now seeing increased sales activity in all of South Delta and prices are returning to the highs the market saw this time last year. Typically, the spring months are an excellent time to list a home as most buyers are in town and the weather tends to be good. Additionally, many buyers purchase during this time in order to complete and move prior to the upcoming school year.
Q: How can my discussions with my doctor affect my ICBC claim? A: Two of the most important aspects of your ICBC claim are what your doctor tells you
and what you tell your doctor. When another driver causes you to suffer injuries or other losses, ICBC is required to make things right by compensating you for your injuries and losses. However, you are also required to take reasonable steps to minimize those injuries and losses.For example, if you suffer a back injury, your doctor might refer you for 12 sessions of physiotherapy. Graham Buchanan If you choose not to act on that referral but complain of back pain a year later, there’s a good chance that ICBC will argue that you are largely responsible for that continuing back pain since it probably could have been avoided by undergoing the treatment that your doctor had recommended to you. Ultimately ICBC will not be on the hook for persistent injuries that would have resolved had you followed your doctor’s advice. Paying attention to what you tell your doctor is equally important. While there is some value in simply telling ICBC that you are still experiencing a certain condition or symptom, it is much more valuable to be able to draw ICBC’s attention to the fact that you have repeatedly been making a similar complaint over a period of time. This can only be done if your doctor’s records show that you have continually been making that complaint, and the records will only show the complaint if you have been verbally expressing the complaint to your doctor.To ensure that your records are comprehensive, see your doctor regularly and always be candid about what you are experiencing.

QUESTION:
QUESTION: What is the difference between a Chiropractic adjustment and Cold Laser Therapy?
MY FRIEND AND I ARE PLANNING TO BUY A PROPERTY FOR INVESTMENT, WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE?
ANSWER: Many people ask what is a chiropractic adjustment
like? According to the BC Chiropractic Association an adjustment is a calculated force that moves the joint a few millimetres within its normal range of motion. We use our hands to provide adjustments and on occassion use an instrument to perform the treatment. Depending on the type of adjustment, you will be asked to lay on your back, stomach, side or possibly remain in a seated position to receive the treatment.
Dr. Sereena Uppal D.C.
If you have never experienced an adjustment before it is perfectly normal to feel nervous at first. Trust and confidence is of the utmost importance so ensure to ask as many questions as you require so you can feel comfortable. Cold Laser Therapy is also performed by a chiropractor and is an alternative therapy using infrared light. It utilizes a probe which emits light to the injured tissue. It is painless and is designed for patients who suffer with chronic osteoarthritis of the joints, back and neck pain, frozen shoulder, sciatic pain and pain associated with acute injuries. For patients who have artificial knees or hip replacement or other metal implants, laser therapy is effective and safe to use.

I had bought a few $20 for $20 from the Royal Canadian Mint and decided I did not want them anymore.When I took them to the bank they would not take them and they sent me to your store, however you would not take them either.What is going on with these coins?
ANSWER:
ANSWER: It’s a big change going from a private residence to communal meals, outings, and activities…all things that may overwhelm those who’ve always lived independently. Allowing them time to process this change at their own speed and supporting in their transition are huge. It takes time to find a new rhythm, so encourage them not to give up. Your embracing their new environment can make it easier too.

ANSWER: Before you get into something you need to decide your exit strategy. Inevitably one party will need to sell before the other. A solid agreement will plan for this. An innovative option is to incorporate and have the company buy the property. This way you can buy and sell shares without having to sell the whole property. It also eliminates property transfer taxes as the corporation continues to be the registered owner.

Our parents have moved into a seniors community recently and we’re unsure how they’re adjusting. How can we know if they’re doing ok?
Rhonda Doram
Drop in randomly, join them for lunch as you can, see for yourself how they’re getting along. Are they joining in for dinners and events? Are they cleaning/doing laundry? Interacting with staff? Good communication with the complex manager & staff can spur positive motivation on both sides during their transition. It helps staff too, as they are learning about your parents too. Sometimes supplementing their routine can give them, and you, a different perspective on their well-being. HoneyDo specializes in client-directed assistance which can help ease adjustment time. Having a cheerful chat, laundry and chore assistance, caring escort to appointments can liven up a week and make things feel more like home.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp
This is a complex situation with these coins. Let me first tell you what happened in Great Britain. Mark Carney, who was Governor of the Bank of Canada became the Governor of the Bank of England. England issued coins just like Canada: a 20 for 20, 50 for 50 and 100 for 100. They were immensely popular and sold out immediately. Then the banks were flooded with these coins being returned to the banks. All the coins had been removed from their packaging and were now loose coins. It turns out that all of these coins were bought by people using credit cards. They received Aero plan miles or 2% cash back from their cards. The Royal Mint and the Bank of England immediately changed the policy and made these “coins” only souvenirs with no cash value or in other words they were now demonitized. The same thing is happening here in Canada with clients that I know of buying thousands of dollars of these coins on their credit cards and receiving bonuses that their cards give. I tell people that if they phoned up their local bank and asked for a special $20 bill in a special package and- wanted it mailed to them for free but also to be able to charge it to their credit card to receive that 2% cash back, the bank would hang up while laughing at you. This is why the banks do not want them. The Royal Canadian mint store here in Vancouver and the actual Mint in Ottawa will not take them. The Royal Canadian Mint has now stopped producing these type of coins as they were being flooded with complaints from people trying to get their money back from the government. Therefore, this is why I will not take them. I feel sorry for people but if I cannot even break even on a deal then I cannot do the deal. Jim Western Coins & Stamp

District names Ladner Rotary as its Outstanding Club of the Year
The Rotary Club of Ladner has received the Outstanding Club of the Year Award among the 48 clubs in Rotary District 5040. The award was presented in Whistler earlier this month at the conference of District 5040, which includes many of the clubs in the Lower Mainland, Sea-to-Sky, Sunshine Coast and north to Kitimat. The local club was recognized for its work to refurbish the splash park in Ladner, for giving to the community through proceeds of its calendar sales, for hands-on help to remote villages of Laos, for shipping medical equipment to needy communities overseas, and for steady growth in membership and communications. “There’s no question that our club members have worked hard on our major projects and minor ones for our community here in Ladner and around the world,” said president

Others have organized
the shipment of medical equipment to communities in the Philippines and Ghana. Hayward said the award is also recognition of the community of Ladner and Delta for all the relationships the club enjoys with other groups. “Our valuable partners in developing the splash park, such as the Corporation of Delta and various sponsors, includ-
ing the Delta Agricultural Society and Westshore Terminals,” Hayward says, “plus the people of South Delta and beyond who have purchased our fundraising calendars and other organizations and non-members, share in this recognition. Ladner and Delta deserve this recognition.” There are 34,000 Rotary clubs around the world with 1.2 million members.

Junior ‘A’ Islanders GM returns to coaching with promising intermediates MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
The Delta Islanders don’t have to convince anyone of how important the 2000-born age group is to contend again for a B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League championship in the near future. When work commitments forced Tom Johnson to step down as head coach from the Islanders’ Intermediate “A” program, they didn’t look far for his replacement. General manager Greg Rennie has taken on the coaching reigns to guide the young and talented team. The Ladner native admits he was enjoying his new role from in the stands after guiding the Islanders’ to their first-ever BCJALL championship last summer. However, he couldn’t say no when approached by intermediates’ GM Ross Frehlick about being behind the bench again. “Ross came to me to talk about it and it was actually a pretty easy decision,” said Rennie, who made his debut in Friday’s 12-8 come-from-behind home floor win over New West. “It’s a really good group of kids and I like them a lot. “The pre-season I had a lot of commitment issues with things going on in my life. The time is a little bit right now for me to slide in and try to get something together here over the next two months and make a push in the playoffs. There is a good foundation here with great talent.” The Islanders improved to 3-2 on the season and are poised to string a few wins together with 1-5 teams Okanagan and Burnaby up next. The 2000-born group became the first-ever Delta Lacrosse team to win a Midget “A” provincial title last season. Now they will try to make more history for the program before some key players are expected to make the early jump to junior in 2018.
Delta Islanders rallied for a 12-8 win over visting New West on Friday night in B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League action at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The win improved Delta to 3-2. Rookies Jake Canton and Haiden Dickson currently sit top five in league scoring. The pair led the third period surge over the Salmonbellies as Delta exploded for seven goals to erase as 6-5 deficit. Rennie is looking forward to training sessions in the days ahead as he instills the same recipe that led to his success in turning Richmond into a powerhouse intermediate “A” team before coming back to his hometown two years ago. “I was saying things to them tonight that they don’t know but I have some good practice time ahead with these guys,” Rennie continued. “They’re not in shape
and it’s going to be a little bit different now with more of a military mindset. There are bad penalties and other things we need to address. There’s just going to be more accountability. “These guys know how to win and we definitely have the talent to win with a lot of star power. It’s now trying to teach them the game within the game.” Rennie also admitted his new position will serve well when it comes to scouting the intermediate “A” league. He has made no secret this year’s BCJALL trading deadline will be about stockpiling young talent and perhaps even enhancing the intermediate “A” team’s chances of winning
provincials. “I will be looking for talent to build around this group. There is no better way to eye ball the league than being on the bench and coaching,” Rennie added. “I had a lot of fun tonight. I enjoyed sitting in the stands, I’m not going to lie. But I think this was the best decision for the club and the timing was right for me.” Boxla bits… The Islanders return to action on Friday when Okanagan visits Ladner at 8 p.m. It will be the debut of defender Kendall Jones — a Grade 12 North Carolina native who wants to work on his box game in Canada this summer.

Sun Devils clinch provincial berth, juniors win too MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
The South Delta Sun Devils are headed to the B.C. “AAA” Boys Rugby Championships for the first time in nine years. Now they want to prove they are indeed one of the elite teams. The Sun Devils locked up a provincial berth with a pair of playoff victories — first slipping past Coquitlam’s Gleneagle, then rolling to a 35-5 victory over Lord Tweedsmuir last week in Cloverdale. That sets up Thursday’s game against Mountain in Langley for seeding purposes. A win could put South Delta in the top eight team flight at provincials. The tournament is now divided into two tiers rather than the old 16-team format to create more parity and eliminate one round of games. Previously, the championships started a weekend earlier with round of 16 games at neutral sites before shifting to the main venue for the final three days of action. The Devils’ only regular season loss was to Mountain — 24-15 back on April 13. However, they are now at full strength
and playing their best rugby of the season. “This game might determine if we are in the top eight or if we are just on the outside of it,” said South Delta co-coach Spencer Baines. “We think we can give any of the top teams a really good run but we will have to win on Thursday first.” South Delta and Mountain will be joined at provincials by four teams from the Fraser Valley Elite Division — Yale, Earl Marriott, Mouat and Elgin Park. Tweedsmuir finished without a win in the Elite flight — setting up a playoff game with the Devils, who opted to play at Tier One this season. “It was what we had hoped for,” said Baines of the playoff route. “We just thought (at that start of the season) tier one would be a better fit not knowing exactly who we would have (on the roster). Turns out we have a pretty strong team and definitely could have gone Elite.” The provincials will take place May 31 to June 3 in Abbotsford. Meanwhile, South Delta’s junior team continued its fine season with a 33-5 Fraser Valley playoff win over

Clare brothers lead Pioneers past Royal City in WCSLA season opener
Nathan and Sam Clare combined for nine points as the Ladner Pioneers opened their West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association season on Saturday night with a 9-7 win over the Royal City
Capitals at Queen’s Park Arena. Nathan had a hat trick and three assists to pace the Ladner attack, while brother Sam chipped in with four points, including a pair of goals.
Andrew Schwab, Mike Avery and Jayven Gill had the other goals. Eric Ransom had three assists. Sam’s second of the night with 5:41 remaining proved to be the game winner.
Avery sealed the outcome with an empty netter. Kevin Hill made 27 saves for the win. The same two teams meet again on Thursday in Ladner at 8 p.m.
What kind of benefits provider slashes benefits for its own employees? Pacific Blue Cross. During recent bargaining with CUPE 1816 — representing more than 600 workers who handle the dental, life and disability coverage case files for more than 2 million British Columbians — PBC went after the workers’ retiree benefits, extended health plan, and other benefits.
We are a private clinic staffed by nurses with expertise in Ostomy and Continence Care (ET Nurses). If you are experiencing problems or would just like to see if some of the newer products would be more suitable for you, our nurses can help. Just as we are all unique, your Ostomy is unique to you. We personalize your Ostomy care and supplies to your individual needs.
What message does that send to the people insured by PBC? That substandard benefits are okay? Contact Jan K. Grude, Pacific Blue Cross President and CEO, and ask him why PBC is rolling back the clock on benefits rightfully bargained for current and future employees.
