School board hopes to get on the right track

District wants province, Delta to chip in for upgrades 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

Tracks at Delta secondary schools have been in a sorry state for a long while, but Delta school board chair Laura Dixon hopes that will finally change.

“The school board has four

tracks in our community and they’re not in a great state of repair. It has been our desire for some time to find a way to get the funding (to upgrade them),” Dixon told the Optimist.

She said the new provincial government appears amenable to provide some level of

financial assistance. However, it doesn’t look like the Corporation of Delta is too interested in any kind of partnership.

“We’ve had preliminary discussions with our new MLA (Ravi Kahlon in Delta North) and we have talked about those at the (school board/Delta coun-

something to improve the tracks and create community amenities.’”

Public to see mall proposal

Open house next week to feature first phase of Town Centre redevelopment 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

Residents will get a chance to learn more about the first phase of the redevelopment of the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall at an open house next week.

Delta is hosting the event at the South Delta Recreation Centre on Thursday, Oct. 19 from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

Display boards will provide information and Delta staff will be available to answer questions.

Referred to as Block A, the proposal is for a six-storey mixed-used building fronting 56th Street that includes 11,733 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and 79 rental apartments above.

According to the master plan for the Century Group project, the idea is

that could be as tall as 12 to 20 storeys.

A big part of the initial master plan included a new Thrifty Foods store on the ground level but that’s since been abandoned, although all buildings will have retail on the ground floor.

In a 2015 interview after unveiling his initial vision, Century Group president Sean The Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall is proposed to be redeveloped over several phases.

Municipal hall not keen about funding school tracks

CONTINUED from Page 1 Dixon said she’s hoping the school board, Delta and province can begin early discussions on what it would take to upgrade the tracks and see what kind of funding partners they could attract. She noted the idea is to create facilities that can be used by the entire community.

“It looks like the door is a bit open with the province, so we’d certainly like to see what we can do,” she added.

At a Delta parks, recreation and culture commission meeting last month,

commissioners agreed that track and field facilities on school sites are the responsibility of the school district and province. They also agreed that any consideration of a municipal contribution be predicated on the majority of funding coming from senior levels of government and/or the school district and be proportional to community benefit.

One commissioner noted there is no demonstrated demand for track and field facilities.

A subsequent report from that meeting noted

Delta has already identified many parks and recreation projects that add up to $50 million and a track and field facility isn’t among them.

The report also notes there’s no registered track and field clubs in Delta and that any development of such facilities would act primarily for school competitions.

In the spring, council heard from a delegation that included Seaquam Secondary track coach Keith Hayes, Burnsview Secondary track coach Tim Stielow and former

B.C. Lion Cory Philpot, representing the B.C. Provincial Football Association, seeking municipal support for a track and field facility and a multi-sport synthetic turf infield primarily for football.

They were informed by parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz there’s no funding in Delta’s five-year financial plan for such a project. Kuntz prepared a subsequent report and gave a presentation at a commission meeting a few weeks later on track and field facilities, which

included estimated costs, site considerations and number of participants.

Commission members didn’t seem keen on Delta contributing to such a project, some commenting that residents have already supported the school district and that a number of municipal fields need refurbishment.

Council will debate a motion by Coun. Jeannie Kanakos next week to hold a workshop to discuss possible options. Dixon has put forward a motion for the school board to also discuss ideas.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says light rail will help get people out of their cars but it can only be made possible with a new crossing.

Mayor still pushing for Fraser Valley light rail 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 new NDP provincial government should begin planning a light rail system connecting Delta and the Fraser Valley with the rest of the Lower Mainland.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson made that suggestion at the Surrey Board of Trade last month where she once again reiterated her support for the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, which was suspended by the province pending the completion of an independent technical review.

They do it in so many other countries, I don’t understand why they can’t do it here.

MAYOR LOIS JACKSON

Jackson said the $3.5-billion, 10-lane bridge project includes hundreds of millions for transit improvements. Although the proposed bridge would be able to accommodate light rail, the previous Liberal government stopped short of projecting when such a service would be added.

Jackson said giving motorists a viable alternative to get out of their cars can only be made possible with a new crossing, however other regional mayors have voiced opposition to the bridge project, some arguing the province needs to avoid trying to build its way out of congestion.

Jackson, whose proposal to begin early planning for LRT was shot down by the Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council, told the board of trade during morning peak hours there are nine transit lines going through the tunnel with one bus every three minutes.

“The province estimates that 60 per cent of the morning rush hour trips by South Delta and South Surrey residents to Downtown Vancouver are by transit. This is a very significant number of people using transit and it demonstrates why investment in this project is so vital to commuters living south of the river.

“I want to see light rail come from Richmond, over the bridge, through Delta and Surrey, out to White Rock, Langley City, Langley Township and out to Chilliwack. A fast rail line, wouldn’t that help our future citizens?” she asked. “They do it in so many other countries, I don’t understand why they can’t do it here.”

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves, a vocal opponent of the bridge, said measures can be taken now to help reduce congestion at the tunnel, which will give the government time to begin planning for LRT. He said instead of a bridge, the options should include adding a LRT tube or one that has two lanes for cars and two for rapid transit.

The first phase of the proposed Surrey LRT system has already been approved by the Mayors’ Council.

Hi Folks Shell Busey Please be advised that I will be making myself available to all the RONA Tsawwassen customers to answer all your concerns about your Home renovation, How to concerns, Maintenance and Home improvement questions. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION NOW? Call my office at 604-290-8525 if I’m not available leave your name, phone number and the time you called and I will return your call.

First Time Home Buyers Now folks for my take on the industry of improvements to your home.

Some of you may be dealing with concerns relating to your first home experiences especially now as we are headed into the colder winter period on the west coast.

What to expect is anyone`s guess for example, what improvements may have already been done to your new home that is first home not a newly constructed home. Items such as windows, doors, draft proofing, insulation, new roof or new heating system may have been changed over the last few years with the grants that were available from the Provincial and or Federal Governments for qualified home owners.

Now that you have purchased and moved into your home and want to operate it as effectively as possible the following information will help you achieve your goals within your budget. I am going to deal with the home in a generic way as you may have purchased a condo, a townhouse, apartment, single detached home or a duplex. I am presuming that you will have had a Home Inspector inspect the house and that report will be a guide for you to see what if any items have been pinpointed as needing attention.

Let`s start at the top with the roof; is it new, when and who installed the roofing and what is the warranty information. It may be a local supplier or it could be from out of province. Your realtor should be able to obtain this information for you.

Insulation and draft proofing is one of the best bangs for your buck when it comes to home comfort and energy savings. However it is not uncommon for a homeowner to improve the insulation but not the draft proofing. Draft proofing is the most important part of adding extra insulation as it stops air from passing through around plumbing pipes, electric wires, ducting and attic accesses. Lack of draft proofing can cause such things as the discovery of mould on the underside of the roof sheathing. This information should be outlined in the Home Inspection report as well.

Heating systems may be forced air gas, electric furnace, radiant or one of the many high breds. All of this information should be left at the home so that you will be able identify the service company that has been used.

Manuals will also explain settings to get the best energy efficient results.

Windows play a very important role in comfort and energy savings not to overlook the curb appeal of the homes appearance. One recommendation I have is to pick up a copy of a booklet titled “Keeping the Heat In” provided by Natural Resources Canada. It’s free and you can pick up a copy at our office at Unit 7B – 2320 King George Blvd, Surrey. It is a great read for every new home owner as well as those wanting to learn how their home works.

Pillow Pals comfort cancer patients

Group from Delta Hospital Auxiliary creates pillows for women recovering from breast cancer IAN JACQUES

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

It’s a warm hug when they might need it the most.

Members of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society have been making pillow sets to help and comfort women recovering from breast cancer since 2004.

The idea originated from one of the auxiliary branches on the Sunshine Coast.

“Then auxiliary president Elaine Canning and myself were at a regional auxiliary meeting and luncheon where we learned about the idea,” recalls Betty Davis, one of the eight auxiliary members who makes up Delta’s Pillow Pals group. “Elaine said, ‘You know Betty, I bet you could do that.’ And it just sort of took off from there.”

The auxiliary posted a notice on its website for donations and the community embraced the initiative from day one.

“People went into their cupboards and sewing cabinets and found pieces

Pillow Pals (from left) Doreen Toney, Esperanza McKinnon, Coleen Plain and Sandra Hartley put together pillows at Delta Hospital to comfort women recovering from breast cancer. of fabric, stuffing, thread and gave it to us,” she says.

“We continually have had donations.”

The Pillow Pals meet every second Wednesday at the hospital in Ladner to sew and put the pillows together.

Davis said some of the pre-work and stitching is done in advance.

The group sews more than 100 pillows a year and donates them to Delta Hospital.

The idea has also spread to Surrey, where Davis

now lives.

“The surgeon that comes here also does surgeries at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre in Surrey. When I moved out to Surrey, I formed a little group in my area

and there are about 10 of us. We make around 40 a month,” says Davis.

“So it’s more than 600 pillow sets a year that are donated. People will come to the hospital and see what we do and then the next week they drop by

with a donation of fabric and materials. We are so appreciative of all the donations.”

Davis says over the years KB Fabrics Ltd. of Surrey, International Textiles of Richmond and Nelson Upholstery in Ladner have all been especially generous.

“We love doing this,” she says. “A lot of the ladies have been patients themselves, so they are paying it forward.”

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Pillow Pals are just one of the ways the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society is raising awareness for the cause.

The auxiliary has donated $700,000 to purchase a state-of-the-art digital mammography unit that aids in the early detection of breast cancer.

In the past year, 4,650 mammograms have been done at Delta Hospital.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

t’s hard to argue with the idea that every vote should count, but we’ve got to make it easier to get to that laudable goal.

Attorney General David Eby introduced legislation last week that would see a referendum take place next year on proportional representation, a term so bureaucratic sounding thousands of voters immediately tuned out. Throw in discussions over single transferable vote, preferential ballots and mixed member systems and eyes throughout the province glaze over, leaving our flawed but easily understood first-past-the-post system as the safer alternative.

There’s certainly merit in the concept that if a party gets 15 per cent of the vote, it should have 15 per cent of the seats in the legislature, but trying to get there in the past has taken us on a rather confusing journey, one that ultimately ends with voters opting for the imperfect system they already know.

I don’t think it’s impossible to get to where we want to go, but to do so those leading the campaign must keep two factors top of mind: it’s got to be simple and it must maintain local representation.

We can’t have voting schemes that require an abacus to figure out who wins on election night or ridings so large voters have a hard time figuring out who is representing them.

Not that anyone is asking, but I’m happy to offer my suggestion for a reformed voting system that’s so simple even a newspaper editor can understand it. First off, double the size of every B.C. riding so they essentially mirror what we’ve got federally, which will cut the number in half. Elect MLAs in those ridings as we have always done, which will send 44 politicians to Victoria, and then assign the remaining 43 seats in the legislature to parties based on their percentage of the popular vote.

We’d still have local representation, albeit on a larger scale, but we’d also ensure every vote counts, all in a system that’s easy to understand. The biggest drawback I see is the philosophical hurdle some night have with the idea of picking politicians off party lists, but at present we vote for one and get governed by 86 others, so it’s not like we get a direct say on everyone now.

The system definitely needs to change, but voters must buy in for that to happen.

Mega concert is a snapshot of what we value in community

I

was one of the 45,000 people who sang and danced along with Coldplay’s lead singer Chris Martin 12 days ago at BC Place. It was the band’s 106th show on a two-year world tour and it was spectacular.

Meticulously choreographed, with an impressive light show, fireworks, confetti and balloons, this was a pop concert for the ages.

BC Place is perfect for a boat show or a football game, but it’s not a great venue for music, yet for two hours Martin managed to create an intimate community of music lovers. He did it by thanking us for attending despite the traffic jams, the long line ups, the high price of beer and intense crowds.

Then he acknowledged every section of the giant stadium, “I see you,” he shouted out to fans on the left and to the right, to people sitting high up and to fans on the floor. The crowd cheered back and in that moment we felt seen. It was contrived but it was effective because he connected with his audience on an emotional level; he understood that we were a packed arena made up of individuals.

Martin tapped into the same

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

values that we strive for here in our community of South Delta.

We all want to be seen, to be heard, to feel a part of something, to share our joys and our fears.

We share a commonality with people in our community that unites us, and we must nourish that.

The audience rose to its feet in unison, my wristband flickered red, green, yellow and blue. I turned to the stranger beside me, “Isn’t this amazing?” “Yes it is,” screamed the young woman. She was part of my community, if only for a moment in time.

Sadly a new community has sprung up out of the thousands attending the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las

Vegas. They have been eternally joined by tragedy and grief after a shooter killed 59 people and injured hundreds.

The stories of heroism, compassion and kindness are impressive and heartbreaking. In an instant they became a community under fire as people rushed to help total strangers, even while their own lives were in danger.

This is what communities can do under the worst of circumstances. It’s reassuring in a world that sometimes feels like it’s going crazy that we can depend on our communities, no matter what they are made of, to be there for us when tragedy strikes.

Two old men sat on their walkers in the sunshine outside the mall in Tsawwassen recently. I rushed passed by them until they yelled, “Good afternoon.”

I stopped abruptly and thought about how important it is to be seen. “Yes, good afternoon, what a beautiful day.” I must have imagined it but I swear they were humming a song.

Letters

Value goes well beyond money

Editor: When does a town become the kind of place it is best to move on from?

Is it when it changes from what it was to what it is becoming? Is it when police and bylaw inspectors harass the homeless when the homeless cannot have a place to collect their cans when people look for them to give them their cans?

Or is it when the value of that society is based solely on money and the only value of a person is what they are worth in dollars?

Things are becoming tougher. Pensioners are hurting because of the devaluing of the dollar, while inflation has eaten more away. I hate to be the prophet of doom and gloom for your town, but

if municipal hall and the police have lost patience and compassion for the homeless, then maybe we deserve that big one that will surely come someday.

And then we can all join the homeless in the park.

Our hands are tied by rules and regulations will be no excuse. That quake will be called an act of God by the insurance industry.

Barry Timmins

Canadian way means a slow process

Editor: I have lived and worked in a number of countries and the way we handle transportation in Canada has always baffled me.

We, and I mean the royal we, manage to toss economic footballs from one political pundit to another for years, if not

decades. After much discussion, hundreds of letters to the editor, changes in governments and economic depressions, the decision is forwarded to experts for evaluation.

The time-consuming evaluation confirms exactly what the government in power wants and

bids are sent out. Yes, it’s confirmed we are going to spend hundreds of millions, if not billions, on something we needed 10 years ago but not something we will need in 10 years hence.

Like it or lump it, that’s the Canadian way.

B.M. Zabolotniuk

Casino negatives must also be considered Editor: Re: $70-million casino in works, Oct. 4 Many red flags come to mind when anticipating this major gaming/entertainment complex being proposed for our community of Ladner.

We, the citizens, need

to know all of the negative impacts that these types of businesses bring. Crime, drug dealing and other issues need to be in the forefront of discussion by our elected officials.

Politicians so quickly announce the economic benefits to communities

such as Richmond and other cities but they need to include the negatives on the same level of importance or higher.

One lost life is of more value than any amount of money this proposal might bring.

Purse is returned in ‘amazing community’ Editor: I just wanted to let people know that we live in an amazing community.

Last Tuesday I went for coffee with a friend and left my purse outside of Starbucks.

When I realized what I had done and returned to

Starbucks, they informed me that my purse had been turned in. I felt like the luckiest person in the world, but then, that’s Ladner.

You cannot believe the relief and overwhelming gratitude for the kind soul that turned my bag

in. I can never thank you enough, whoever you are.

Please, next time you are in Starbucks, enjoy a coffee and treat on me, as I have taken care of it.

It is wonderful people like this that make Ladner special.

Farmers thanked for respecting neighbours

Editor: I want to thank the farmers who have been taking their crops off their fields in East Ladner (along 64th Avenue). They have been going from dawn to dusk to get their crops off their fields and they have to drive through

a two-block residential area.

The big farm trucks and/or big tractors pulling equipment have been going both ways very slowly, down empty and back full.

The residents appreciate that you respect your

neighbours, not like the other commercial trucks that plough down this street like they were still on Highway 10.

Thank you and I look forward to buying your produce in our local markets.

Leslie Abramson

Correction The caption for this photo that was published on Oct. 4 along with a letter titled Widen Deltaport Way so trucks can park safely should have stated the photo was looking east. The caption should have read: Deltaport Way looking east from 41B Street overpass with container trucks creeping forward at approximately five-minute intervals, partly blocking westbound traffic.

Port committee pushing to reduce truck congestion on Delta roads

The following is a report from the Port Community Liaison Committee, a multi-stakeholder body that includes representatives from the community, environment, agriculture, industry and local governments that addresses portrelated issues.

As described in a recent letter to the editor, container trucks can sometimes be found queued or parked along Deltaport Way. Idling vehicles aren’t good for business — and certainly not for the environment — so it makes sense to have systems in place that reduce congestion and improve safety along highways in Delta.

One way the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority regulates trucks is through its Truck Licensing System.

Under this licensing system, all trucks using the port’s terminals must be registered, and comply with stringent safety and environmental standards.

For example, trucks must be less than seven years old or pass annual emission tests to qualify.

In addition, the container terminal operator,

GCT Deltaport, has a truck reservation system that requires all truckers to make an appointment to access the terminal to pick-up or drop-off containers.

Trucks are also equipped with GPS units, and are tracked 24/7 by port administration.

Most of the time, these systems work well to ensure that trucks keep moving and goods are transferred smoothly.

Occasionally, however, there are glitches – and even a small disruption can cause system backups or congestion that can affect local roads, agricultural operators and area residents.

In a typical year, for instance, there can be as many as 10 to 20 terminal closures at Roberts Bank due to storms and high winds; there can also be disruptions caused by incidents, or simply trucks arriving too early for their reservation.

At the Port Community Liaison Committee, we learn about these incidents, their impacts and proposed solutions

through the dialogue that takes place between industry, government and community representatives.

The new Deltaport truck staging facility — under construction at the junction of Highway 17 and Deltaport Way — is the latest undertaking by the port authority in conjunction with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Transport Canada to address truck congestion.

What is a staging facility? Essentially, it is an access-controlled holding area for port-destined container trucks. In this case, it is designed to alleviate any congestion along Deltaport Way and provide temporary truck parking in the event of a terminal closure.

The new facility will be able to hold up to 140 trucks and is expected to be operational by late 2018. Part of the land will be used by Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement for safety inspections.

Committee has discussed various aspects of the project, including: • Location: We learned that locating the facility was a challenge, and that the chosen site was considered the best option in terms of minimizing impacts on local agriculture. Some on the committee suggested that a location closer to the port would have been preferable.

• Long-term capacity: We heard the project is being constructed to address existing conditions — independent of any port expansion — and that technology and communication can handle growth. Others suggested the port could do more to reduce the numbers of trucks by adopting short-haul rail, short-sea shipping and inland intermodal facilities.

The end result is a balancing act between the different interests which — with monitoring and continual improvements in coordination — can significantly reduce truck traffic impacts on local communities.

At Home

Rooms do double duty in smaller homes

Many homes do not have space for guest rooms, play areas and home theatres that are possible in homes with substantial square footage, but they may not be missing out at all.

While large homes remain popular, many people are embracing the benefits of smaller residences. Small homes help homeowners save money, require less maintenance, have smaller environmental impact and reduce the temptation to accumulate “stuff.”

Owners of small homes or apartments can still enjoy the benefits of larger spaces, they just need to equip rooms to perform double duty.

Living room/guest room Entertaining guests is easier when there’s a dedicated space where visitors can feel at home. When furnishing a living room, keep the guest room in mind.

A sofa that opens up to a bed or a convertible sectional can be a comfortable place for guests to

A trundle sofa bed enables overnight guests to sleep comfortably right in the living room or den. lay their heads. Side tables provide guests with places to store their belongings, and an empty storage

chest can house bed linens or guests’ clothing.

Den/playroom Children tend to accu-

mulate toys and games.

And as kids grow from children to young adults, their list of must-have

items — from video gaming systems to other electronics — grows along with them. Storage can

make a room functional for both adults and children.

Devote an entire wall to a closet or drawer system where toys can be stored out of sight when necessary. Storage ottomans can be used for extra seating while also providing somewhere for homeowners to stash stuffed animals or games for easy access.

When choosing furniture, look for fabrics that are resistant to stains and modular pieces that can be moved around as necessary to create room for playing or entertaining.

Bedroom/home office Bringing work home means men and women will need a space to work.

In tight quarters, bedrooms may be the only available area. An armoirestyle desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors.

Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose of providing a place to get ready for a night out and a ready space to house a laptop during the day.

Reno Month raises awareness The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia is holding its Reno Month this October to promote smart renovations.

“The purpose of Reno Month to bring attention to what homeowners should know before beginning a renovation, rather than after,” says CEO Neil Moody. “Your home is likely your biggest investment. Allowing sufficient time and proper planning will ensure you accomplish your project goals.”

Any home renovation, big or small, should be accompanied by a written contract. Without a contract outlining what was agreed to, the homeowner has no recourse or record of work should there be any issues.

“If a contractor offers you a cash deal with no contract, perhaps for a lower price, you must walk away. Just think, if

CHBA BC’s top 10 tips for renovations

1. Plan out your vision of what you want to achieve.

What are your must-haves for this project?

2. Determine what you would like to spend, saving room for unexpected costs.

3. Receive multiple quotes from different renovators in your area.

4. Confirm your renovator carries proper insurance and is up to date with WorkSafe BC. 5. Determine what warranty you will have for the project, and for how long.

6. Ask for at least three references from your potential renovator.

7. Get everything in writing and refuse to pay in cash. A verbal assurance is not enough.

8. Verify that all of the required permits have been obtained.

9. Stay in touch with your renovator throughout the project. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

10. Pay your renovator on time. Hold back the agreed amount for builders’ liens during the holdback period. they’re cutting corners on the agreement, then what other steps are they willing to miss?” asks Moody.

Quick fixes will help you get the most out of limited closet space

Closet space is at a premium in many homes and apartments. Many older homes were not built to accommodate large wardrobes, while rental properties are often designed to maximize living space at the expense of storage.

It is not always practical or possible to undergo renovations to create more closet space. Apart from moving to a new residence, homeowners or renters must evaluate the space they have and make some more efficient choices in how they utilize available areas.

Clear out clutter The first step to more closet space is to eliminate unused items. Clothing that no longer fits or items that can be stored elsewhere should be removed from the closet. Donate as much as possible. Some organizations will even pick up donations at your convenience.

Upgrade hangers and rods Replace existing hangers with slimmer, more uniform alternatives that more easily fit into your closet. In addition, remove empty hangers, which are likely just taking up space.

Consider dual closet rods if space will allow them. Hang the second rod below an area reserved for shorter cloth-

Many older homes were not built with large closets. ing to achieve a two-tiered design. Grouping short items together also can free up valuable floor space.

Stack taller Many closets are as tall as the ceilings of the rooms where they’re located. However, the upper area may go unused because if it is not easy to reach. Install shelving above the closet rod with small swing-out style cabinet doors to offer access.

In such areas, store seasonal items that you won’t need to reach for each day.

Keep a step stool close by for easy accessibility.

In small rooms, homeowners may want to find another way to utilize vertical space. A loft bed, which raises the bed up to a level where it might be on the top bunk of a bunk bed, will free up plenty of storage space beneath the bed. This can be turned into a floor closet.

Create storage for small items Bookends, bins, boxes and drawers can be used to contain items that don’t easily conform to closets.

These may be purses, scarves, ties and more.

Don’t overlook the possibilities of hanging items on the wall inside the closet or on the back of closet doors.

When finishing closet makeovers, be sure to install lighting inside the closet so items are more visible.

Hearing Aid Trial

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

BARBARA GUNN

I’ll admit it: I’m no fan of flying.

And no, it’s not that I’m terrified the big bird will finally realize — as it really should have long ago — that it has no business being up in the clouds.

I don’t like the long line-ups. I don’t like the measly leg room. I don’t like taking my shoes off in security or throwing my laptop on a cafeteria tray or paying for two dozen pretzels. I’m of an age to know it was not always like this. I remember it being, well, fun.

“Fun?” asked a son. The family was at the dinner table and the conversation had turned to travel.

I was remembering fly-

ing, back in the day.

“Oh, yes,” I said. “It was fun!”

“Yep!” chimed in the husband, who is also of an age. “It certainly was!”

Back in the day, I told the sons, things were a whole lot different.

“For one thing, you didn’t have to pay for food,” I said. “And the food was amazing. Think steak with mushroom sauce.

And baked potatoes with sour cream. And chicken cordon bleu. And appetizers and dessert.”

The sons looked skeptical.

“It’s true,” I said. “And we were given linen napkins and real silverware.

None of this plastic stuff.”

“No plastic?” asked the youngest, incredulous.

“No plastic!” I said. “And there were cocktails before dinner — you didn’t pay for those either. And there was wine with dinner, and there were drinks after dinner. You had those with your coffee, which came in fancy china.”

“China?” the sons said at once.

“Yes to the china. No to the plastic,” I said.

If people felt inclined, I continued, they were also welcome to smoke.

“No way!” they replied.

“Yes way,” I said. “Of course, that wasn’t good for anyone. But people could choose to sit in smoking or non-smoking, because it was assumed the smoke would only stay in the smoking part of the cabin.”

The sons looked at each other, no doubt wondering what their mother had been smoking.

I wasn’t done yet.

“The flight attendants — they were called stewardesses, back then — were brilliant. All you had to do was ring a bell and they’d fetch you miniature bottles of whatever you wanted.

“They’re still brilliant, of course, but these days, they have a lot more to deal with. Like cranky passengers.”

“Passengers weren’t cranky back then?” asked one of the sons.

“Heavens no!” I said.

“They had a wonderful time!”

It was, I told them, a very different world, and a long, long time ago.

Cheng family’s roots go back a century in Delta

The Delta Museum and Archives Society recently launched Our Delta Stories, a project that asks community members to share their favourite Delta story in 250 words or less.

The stories will be posted to the society’s social media pages and website, while some will also be printed in the Optimist. This story comes from George, Lily, Susie and Elsie Cheng.

The Cheng (Jang) family has lived and farmed in Delta for more than 100 years.

Tommy (Chung Tong Jang) arrived in 1913 at the age of 20 as a migrant farm worker in East Delta.

He milked cows for several dairy farmers and lived on the dike at the end of Embree Road (104th Street). He lived in a small house with no utilities and rented three to four acres that he grew potatoes on.

The house was used to raise chickens before he lived there.

Tommy sponsored his son George (Fook Chin Cheng) in 1951 and the two lived together on the dike, worked for other potato farmers and grew their own potatoes. Electricity was then installed into the home.

George’s wife Lily (Yu Chow Cheng) arrived in 1956. She was pregnant with their first child and lived with relatives in New Westminster. Later that year a house and three acres were bought on Fairview Road (46A Street). The house was

harvesting root crops and the hazards of getting stuck in the mud in the rainy season.

South Delta Sun Devils quarterback Michael Calvert overcame steady pressure all afternoon to fire four touchdown passes to Billy Matwichyna as his team rallied for a 32-28 home field win over Vancouver College.

Matwichyna show sinks Irish Grade 12 receiver hauls in 4 touchdown passes to keep South Delta unbeaten MARK BOOTH

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

South Delta Sun Devils turned to some special chemistry to keep pace with the front-runners in B.C. High School’s ultra-competitive Western AAA Conference.

Quarterback Michael Calvert and receiver Billy Matwichyna combined for four touchdown passes as the No. 2 ranked Sun Devils rallied for a 32-28 win over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish last Saturday.

The longtime Grade 12 teammates have enjoyed plenty of success growing up together in the South Delta Rams organization and even playing the flag version of the game on club and provincial teams. Their magic was required to overcome a hungry Irish team that has now played

two of the top teams in the province extremely tough but remains winless (0-3).

The visitors took a 20-18 lead into the second half and led 28-25 with three minutes remaining when Calvert connected with Matwichyna for a 29-yard major.

VC’s potential game-winning drive was snuffed on a diving interception near the goallline by safety Ben McDonald.

“I think the boys might have paid too much attention to their record and came out flat while they really came after us,” said Sun Devils head coach Ray Moon.

“They put a lot of pressure on Michael and were running the ball down our throats.

“We changed a couple of things to try and stop it but it didn’t really happen until we went back to the original game plan and just

started to play better.”

Matwichyna also hauled in touchdown passes from four, eight and 28 yards out. It was somewhat of a breakout game as Calvert’s ball distribution had been balanced before Saturday’s tilt.

“That type of game for Billy has always been there. It just so happened there were more dropped passes in that game than we have had in a while,” added Moon.

A year ago, it was the Fighting Irish stealing a win away from the Sun Devils at O’Hagen field where they rallied from a 20-12 second half deficit, then stopped a two-point convert attempt on the game’s final play for a 28-27 victory.

The win leaves South Delta and the New West Hyacks tied for top spot in the conference with 3-0 records. The teams will meet in

the Royal City on the final week of the regular season, however, there is still plenty of work to be done.

The Sun Devils host the Mt. Doug Rams (1-2) on Saturday (1:30 p.m.) then head out on the road for pivotal encounters against Notre Dame and Seaquam — both sitting right behind them in the standings at 2-1.

The Rams cracked the win column against Belmont last week.

“Saturday’s game proved we better come ready to play,” added Moon. “We can’t afford to be looking past anyone.”

Meanwhile, the Irish will have some work to do qualify for the provincial playoffs. They will have to win at least two of of their final four games to advance with Seaquam, Carson Graham, Mt. Doug and Notre Dame on the schedule.

Thormeyer headed to Commonwealth Games At just 20, Markus Thormeyer’s already impressive international swimming resumé continues to grow.

The 6-foot-4 former Winskill Dolphin Swim Club standout and South Delta Secondary graduate is among 26 athletes nominated

by Swimming Canada for the 2018 Commonwealth Games

in Australia. The team features 10 Olympians from the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, including Thormeyer.

Two years later he’s expected to have a much bigger role as Canada looks to build more momentum heading towards the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Inspired by watching Brent

Hayden and Ryan Cochrane compete at the 2012 Summer Games in London, Thormeyer upped his commitment to swimming — making his international debut a year later at the FINA World Junior Championships. He qualified for his first senior national team in 2015 after finishing second in both the 100m and 200m

backstroke events at the Canadian Trials.

At the Pan Am Games in Toronto that summer, he swam the morning heats for the 4x100m freestyle relay that won silver and made the final of the 100m backstroke.

He was also named to the 4x100m freestyle relay in Rio.

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

It’s a whole new look for the Greater Vancouver Canadians this season and a couple of South Delta players are leading the way.

Success isn’t measured just in wins when it comes to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

Roster turnover is a big part of it too.

The fact the Canadians feature few three returning players reflects on their deep run last spring. The regional rep team came within a game of winning their first-ever provincial title.

The majority has moved on to the junior ranks including six in the Western Hockey League.

Phil Alalouf is back behind the bench after job commitments forced Mike Thwaites to step down before the season had even started. The Tsawwassen resident knows well enough there is no luxury in development league of re-loading for a season or two to take another run at a championship.

“We are not a junior league where you have three or four years to take a run at it again. It’s all about development. You pick 20 players who are keen to get to the next level and do it all over again,” said Alalouf.

Forwards Radek Hewson, Michael Tersigni and Danny Pearson are team’s only “veterans.”

Tersigni joined the Canadians for the second half of last season after having a leading role with the South Delta Midget A1 Storm winning the Richmond International Tournament.

Garrett Wicks was used as an AP player from the Delta Hockey Academy. The South Delta native is now with the Canadians on a full-time basis.

Greater Vancouver opened the season with sweeps of the South Island Royals and the Kootenay Ice before dropping a pair in Prince George this past weekend against the defending champion Cariboo Cougars.

They will put their 4-2 record on the line with games against the unbeaten (4-0-0) Valley West Hawks including a 10 a.m. clash on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The Canadians leaned heavily on their top end players a year ago for their post-season run.

The trio of elite WHL prospects Sasha Mutala (Tri-City Americans), Scott Atkinson (Edmonton Oil Kings) and Henry Rybinski (Medicine Hat Tigers) was the most productive line in the league. Chris Douglas was another top end sniper who left

South Delta’s Michael Tersigni is one of just three returning players with the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s Greater Vancouver Canadians this season. the team in January for Red Deer.

Alalouf doesn’t have the same impact players at his disposal but suggests this year’s team will have much better balance.

Wicks, Hewson and Brendon Jorssen currently lead the team in scoring with nine points each.

Tersigni and Pearson have eight, while 11 players have at least one goal.

“This team has a stronger core. There isn’t that big gap like we had last year and you can see it in our dressing room,” added Alalouf. “They know they all

need to battle for one another.

There is no one sitting there who doesn’t feel they are a big part of this team.”

Rounding out the local talent is Tsawwassen blueliner Tanner Gushel _ another player from the Delta Hockey Academy.

Ice Hawks rally in 3rd period to stay perfect after 9 games

For the first time this season, the Delta Ice Hawks needed a third period comeback to extend their perfect record to nine games.

Magnus Cheung, Liam Visram and Eric Bourhill scored in a four-minute span as

Delta rallied for a 4-3 road win over the Ridge Meadows Flames in Pacific Junior Hockey League action on Friday night.

Joshua Gibbons had put the hosts up 2-1 when Cheung answered just 19 seconds later. Visram then gave his team its

first lead of the night. The 17-year-old rookie blueliner also chipped in with an assist to earn first star honours.

Bourhill capped the outburst two minutes later and the insurance goal was needed as Ridge Meadows closed out the

scoring with just three seconds remaining.

Jonathan Stein had the other Delta goal. Jordan Naylor was solid in net, turning aside 27 shots and was named the game’s second star.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
