There won’t be any more doggies in the window now that Delta has banned retail sales.
Delta residents will no longer be able to ask how much that puppy is in the window now that a new bylaw bans the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in pet shops. Delta council members on
Monday unanimously approved the regulation that prohibits the sale of those animals in retail stores,. Animal adoptions remain available through the Delta Community Animal Shelter or recognized animal rescue groups approved by the manager of the animal shelter.
Bylaw manager Hugh Davies said the input the city has received is that most people are opposed to the sale of animals in stores. Only one store in Delta, located at Scottsdale Mall in North Delta, currently sells puppies and kittens. DELTA: see Page 3

Mock disaster at Deltaport Chemical leak simulation puts Delta’s emergency response plan to the test 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
Delta ran a mock emergency exercise last Friday to evaluate interagency response to a major incident at Roberts Bank, where an increased movement of hazardous goods means increased chances of something happening for real. The simulation was to have all the hallmarks of a real-life emergency involving the participation of the City of Delta as well as its fire, police and emergency services, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, Global Container Terminals Canada, B.C. Rail, Fraser Health Authority and Westshore Terminals. According to the city, the exercise was necessary for Delta and community partners to validate emergency response plans, as well as clarify and practice roles and responsibilities in the event of a major emergency. Delta CAO George Harvie, who as Delta’s senior official was in charge, told the Optimist the exercise simulated a chemical leak and toxic plume. “We’re doing a tabletop exercise including a field exercise to make it more realistic and we’ve been planning this for the last six months. We felt that we needed to do an exercise with Deltaport and the Port of Vancouver, recognizing the situation in Vancouver (port fire) and had to do some evacuation. That likelihood on the percentage of probability is more at Deltaport because of its significant size and transportation,” he said.

Delta firefighters contain a chemical leak during an emergency simulation last Friday morning at Deltaport container terminal. “We’re looking to identify gaps in things like information, communications and staff call out, plus others.” In March 2015, a chemical fire broke out in a shipping container buried six-deep and two-high in the Centerm terminal, which had to be evacuated. The fire was eventually upgraded to a four-alarm but there were no serious injuries reported. However, massive plumes of smoke, which contained a respiratory irritant dangerous to
breathe in large quantities, smothered parts of the city. The chemical that went up in flames contained an industrial disinfectant and bleaching agent called trichloroisocyanuric acid, exposure to which can be similar to breathing in bleach. Less than a year earlier, Delta staff prepared a report updating council on the Ministry of Environment’s new land based spill preparedness and response system. That report noted hazardous
material is transported within the boundaries of Delta via road and rail. “With the growth of goods movement by truck and rail through the community it is probable that transportation of hazardous materials will also increase thereby increasing the chances of an incident occurring within the community.” The report also notes Delta is fortunate to have a hazardous materials team and highly qualified first responders that do an excellent job mitigat-
ing the immediate risk to residents and the environment. At last month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, delegates debated a resolution drafted by the District of Vanderhoof calling on Transport Canada to force rail companies to provide more timely information on hazardous goods being transported through communities. Canadian railways are required to provide reports on what trains carry but they are usually produced several months afterward.
Delta has difficult time trying to check on breeders
CONTINUED from Page 1 “When we’ve asked where these animals came from they provided us with locations we really couldn’t check or do a background on,” said Davies. “For example, one was up in the interior off a rural road. So, not allowing the sale of those pets provides them still to have the opportunity to have animals in the store but it is going to curtail their
business to some degree. “We’ll give them plenty of notice on what we intend to see happen and give them time to move the animals they have in the pet store along,” he said. This summer Vancouver council unanimously voted to ban the sale of cats, dogs and rabbits from pet stores. That bylaw, aimed at putting an end to puppy and kit-
ten mills, was approved due to the difficulty assessing the breeding conditions of animals in stores. Richmond and New Westminster had already passed such bylaws. Other cities across the country have also passed similar restrictions in recent years, including Toronto, where dogs and cats sold in pet shops must come only from animal shelters, rescue groups or
people giving up animals for free. Meanwhile, California is about to become the first U.S. state to ban the sale of dogs from puppy mills. Under the new law, which comes into effect next January, pet shops can only sell dogs, cats and rabbits primarily from shelters and animal rescue centres. According to the SPCA, by adopting a pet from a
shelter or a rescue group, people ensure they’re not supporting puppy mills, where inhumane treatment of cats and dogs has been documented, while helping to reduce pet overpopulation. They will also be providing a home to a homeless animal in need. Pet store owners in cities that enacted bylaws have argued they get their pets through reputable breeders.

With the rise in scams, particularly those online, the Delta Police Department, in conjunction with the Optimist, is running a monthly article to help residents stay safe from fraudsters. Below, Const. Dustin Classen of the economic and technical crime unit offers advice on cheque fraud. Fraudsters are always coming up with new ways to part you from your money, and one of their favourites is cheque fraud. Whatever the story, the fraudster invariably sends you a cheque, with instructions to deposit that cheque, then send some portion of the money on to a third party. Eventually that cheque gets returned and you’re out of pocket. In order to protect yourself, it’s important to realize how cheques are cleared in Canada. When you deposit a cheque, while your bank may well make those funds available to you right away, that does not mean the cheque has cleared the issuing bank, which might return that cheque. According to Payments Canada rules, a cheque returned for reason of “material alteration” can be returned up to 90 days after being
Delta police are warning the public so no one falls victim to cheque fraud. received. So, if you deposit, say, a stolen cheque that’s been altered in some way by the fraudster, a cheque you believe to be real, it can be returned up to 90 days later, leaving you on the hook for any of the money you’ve spent. Recent examples of such schemes abound. In one, the fraudster replies to an apartment rental ad, sending a cheque to secure the first month’s rent, with a little extra the fraudster asks you to forward to his “cousin,” who will be arranging the moving company on his behalf.
Another example involved the victim accepting a job as a secret shopper of Western Union customer service. The fraudster sent the victim a cheque, with instructions to send the proceeds via Western Union, then fill out a survey of the customer service they received. While the story will endlessly change, it will always involve the deposit of a cheque with instructions to send away some or all of the funds. If you or anyone you know has been victimized by this type of scam, please contact your local police.

Christmas in October again as Ladner Village plays host to another holiday movie PHOTOS BY ADRIAN MACNAIR
Christmas has come early again to Ladner Village. Set design and film crews arrived on Delta Street last Tuesday and will remain there until this Friday as they shoot scenes for Finding Santa, a Hallmark Channel romantic Christmas movie. Crews will be working on Delta Street between Bridge Street and 48th Avenue. Scenes to be filmed include a parade and a “Christmas Candlelight Stroll.” Environmentally safe snow and blowers will be used for most of the scenes, according to a filming notice. Finding Santa stars former Full House star Jodie Sweetin and is about a Christmas event planner who must find a fill-in Santa Claus for a New England town’s Christmas Day parade. The film marks the fourth Hallmark Channel holiday movie shot in Ladner Village this year and the second in the last month.

City is willing to talk about tracks FOOT
Delta to consider school district proposal to improve track and field facilities 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
Delta is willing to talk but it needs some details. That’s what came out of Delta council’s discussion Monday on the city contributing toward the Delta School District’s proposal for new track and field facilities. Council was to have debated a motion put forward by Coun. Jeannie Kanakos to have a workshop with the school district about what it would take to add one new track in North Delta and another in South Delta. However, there wouldn’t be enough time to have such a session in advance of council’s upcoming business plan workshop where priorities for spending for the upcoming year are considered. The proposal was then simply forwarded to the business planning session where parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz will provide some cost estimates. CAO George Harvie noted it could cost around $10 million to build the facilities, but what’s missing will be what’s expected from Delta as far as a financial contribution and what other funding sources will be available. Kanakos noted there are other funding partnership examples where the municipality has taken the lead. Coun. Bruce McDonald said there’s a long wish list of projects in Delta, but getting the ball rolling will at least “turn the dogs loose to go find the money.” Coun. Robert Campbell,
who chairs the parks and recreation commission, agreed there’s a long list of worthy projects that still remain unfunded. “I also want to remind my colleagues and staff of other presentations and other unfunded projects that have come before commission and council over the past year or two that are still sitting around in the wings and somewhat in the same condition as this project, such as a 50-metre swimming pool and a new field hockey facility, a racquet sport facility… I think we’ve got a tough job to sit back and prioritize not only the community need but the benefit,” Campbell said. Mayor Lois Jackson suggested the council/school board liaison committee would be a good place to find out what the school district is willing to bring to the table. Coun. Sylvia Bishop noted the city should at least consider positioning itself so it might take advantage of funding opportunities. At the Delta board of education’s meeting last week, trustees voted in favour of a motion put forward by chair Laura Dixon to create a working group to begin looking at ways to fund and construct replacements tracks. She said she’s hoping to utilize new provincial funding that could be used to replace Delta’s shabby tracks, bringing together all three levels of government and perhaps other funding partners. In an interview, Dixon said she’s hoping the school board, Delta and

The track at South Delta Secondary in Tsawwassen is one of several in the district in need of improvements. province can begin early discussions 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. At the board meeting trustee Nick Kanakos said
it’s imperative the city get involved. “It benefits not only our students but benefits the entire community of Delta, having two tracks, one in the north and south. It would help all the generations, including the young-
er generations not necessarily involved in track now. Another rationale is that facility is necessary before you can have any kind of (track and field) program,” said Kanakos. Trustee Dale Saip agreed that not only students but thousands of Delta residents would benefit from such facilities Trustee Rhiannon Bennett said she’s disappointed at the parks and recreation commission’s apparent lack of support, adding its claim there’s a lack of demand doesn’t line up with what she’s hearing in the community. Saying Delta, so far, appears “less than hot” about the idea, trustee Bruce Reid suggested getting business sponsors as well in order to “shake all the trees and bushes” to get the needed funding.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY
t has cleared up confusion, but offended sensibilities in the process. No one is ever going to mistake Lois Jackson for a CEO again now that the Corporation of Delta has become the City of Delta, but that doesn’t mean a new title for the place we call home is sitting well with everyone in these parts. Approved by the province earlier this month, the change clears up any confusion that a corporation might have caused and reinforces the notion that “city of” is synonymous with local government. Many around here already looked at Delta as the “city” even before the change in title, often referring to that big building full of bureaucrats next to the highway as city hall, not municipal hall, and railing that the “city” had upped their taxes or not adequately cleared the roads after a snowfall. The move also makes it crystal clear for others, whether they be in Holland, Ottawa or elsewhere, that a delegation from the City of Delta is there on behalf of civic government. What it’s also done, however, is turn the inhabitants of the relatively sleepy communities of Ladner and Tsawwassen into city slickers. OK, so that might be overstating things, but there’s a decent sized contingent out there that doesn’t like the idea of living in a city, even if that city is no different from the municipality that preceded it. The new name carries a certain connotation that not only doesn’t fit Delta’s makeup or configuration, but haunts those who came here to get away from the hustle and bustle symptomatic of a city. The fact that 1,450 people in South Delta signed forms opposing the change, compared to just 56 in North Delta, shows you those living in this part of Delta embrace the small town feeling and don’t want to see that lost. And it doesn’t have to disappear just because Delta has become a city. There will continue to be development pressures that have nothing to do with what this place is called and everything to do with the fact we’re part of one of the most desirable metropolitan areas in the world. How the public and our political leaders handle those demands will go a long way to determining how the City of Delta moves forward. A name identifies you, but there’s nothing to say it has to define you.
A new century approaches, at least for this columnist
T
his marks a milestone for me - my 100th column. I started writing for the Optimist in November 2011, just after losing the school board election that year. That’s what my first article was about - losing the election. I never dreamed I’d have an opportunity like this, let alone make it to 100 columns. I still have a copy of the email editor Ted Murphy sent asking if I’d be interested in writing a Community Comment. At least I got something out of that election campaign. I remember my first few articles and how long they took to prepare. I show up here every three weeks, and it used to take me the whole three weeks to get it done. The first week was determining the topic and writing a draft, the next editing it, getting others to give me feedback and making more edits. Then I’d submit it on Monday for the Wednesday paper, read it when it came out and start the process over again. I’m a little faster now. I think about topics all the time, determine one on the weekend, write it Sunday night and submit it. I can crank out 550 words in about 45 minutes now. Hopefully it doesn’t show. I admire Murphy as he does two of these a week.
Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN
I recently thumbed through the articles I’ve written (my wife graciously keeps a scrapbook for me). I’ve written about schools, coaching and playing hockey, the Southlands, elections and volunteering at Christmas. I research to make sure I’m as accurate as possible because I want my columns to be based on facts, just not feelings. I try and stick to policy, not politics, and definitely not personalities. While it can sometimes be challenging to get it written, I always remember that it is an honour and a privilege to have this opportunity. I don’t take it lightly. I took a short break when I ran for school trustee again in 2014. My first column back, ironically my 50th, was about losing the election — again. Oh well, at least
I didn’t struggle for a topic that time. I read every letter to the editor in every paper to get a sense of what people are feeling. There’s no greater reward for me than having someone take the time to respond to one of my columns, whether you agree with me or not. I’ve started a conversation, which is what I’d hoped to achieve. I don’t get a lot of feedback, but every once in a while someone will come up to me and say they read my column. I just hope we’re not in the bakery section of the grocery store at the time. They have a lot of pies there, so I’m hoping none end up in my face. If you have made it this far through my article, thank you.

Fond memories of time chatting with Big John Editor: Re: Ladner mourns loss of Big John, a gentle giant, Sept. 29 I was amazed and pleased to see the extensive coverage about John’s passing. I think most people in Ladner knew who he was, and recognized him wherever he went. I know I did. He will be missed. Many people will have their own story about Big John, and this is mine. My family moved to Ladner in 1988, and it was not long after that I came to recognize John, and I saw him frequently in town. It was around 1992 that my wife and daughter flew back to Ontario for a long
weekend, and I ended up “batching” for a few days. One evening I decided to dine at Uncle Herbert’s Fish and Chips. I was seated at a small table near the windows, and I immediately recognized John sitting about four tables away from me. He was difficult to miss, due to his size, his voice which carried across the restaurant and his friendly personality. Seated at the table John was facing was a young family with two preteen children, who were there to have a quiet family outing. John was trying to engage them in a conversation and not wanting to be rude, the dad
would answer, keeping his answers short. He would then turn his attention back to his family. John was not picking up the cues, and the conversation kept going. After watching this for a couple of minutes, I picked up my napkin and utensils and moved down to the table beside John. So John and I had dinner together that night, and we chatted nicely through the entire meal. I appreciated the company and the young family enjoyed their dinner. I suspect many can connect with the story, and may have stories of their own to share. Erik Andersen

Sorry to see heron without costumes
Editor: I always enjoy seeing the heron on the sign as I approach Ladner. For special occasions, events and holidays, the heron was always decorated, but late-
ly I have noticed the bird is missing its costumes. It was always a joy to see how the heron would be decorated for a holiday and brought smiles to faces. To the anonymous
person who took time to decorate the heron for many years, thank you. Hopefully the heron will be dressed again in the future. D.M. Wilson

Tell city that Century plan must be better
Editor: I’m encouraging people to go and talk to City of Delta planners tomorrow about Century Group’s plan for Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. The plan is to build a six-storey, Wexfordlooking building along 56th Street. Have you ever had the urge to turn into the Wexford? Probably not as the horizontal lines of the design encourage you to drive by and traffic is pushing behind you. Do
you want a drive-by town centre or something better? A public information session will be held at the South Delta Recreation Centre between 4 and 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. Go and tell the city to ask developers to adhere to Tsawwassen’s Town Centre Plan. Our Town Centre Plan supports six-storey buildings and increased density to 1,000 dwelling units. It also suggests a small town, garden theme, bus
pullouts along 56th Street, added recreation and arts spaces, better walkability between all four town centre quadrants and developing 12th Avenue as a main street. It’s a good plan. Of course, a developer can apply to build anything and the city can approve rezoning applications and bylaw variances to pass anything that doesn’t conform to our plan. City staff will write a
report for council that will either support or not support an application. After that it only takes four people on council to pass it and ignore the area plan. This building will encourage traffic to drive by, not turn in. It’s not a mall for the community, it’s a mall built for the residents living above it. The building will divide the east and west quadrants of our core. Tell them to build something better. Louise Latremouille

Drivers have time to read signs
Editor: Re: Liberals must work with others to find best solution for congestion, letter to the editor, Oct. 6 Richmond Coun. Carol Day’s letter makes me wonder if she has actually sat in gridlock traffic heading north on Highway 99 where the signs are visible. The safety issue cited in her letter is questionable since those reading the signs are actually inching their way northbound, and most certainly have time to safely read the signs in question — several times over. It’s also occurred to me the Richmond councillor might have erected signage of her own during municipal elections along multiple other motorways. So, if safety is truly a concern, then perhaps politicians should cease to post election signs along roadways. I do agree with her last point about the signs being a political game — no less than her letter was. The message behind these signs is clear and I’d venture a guess that its sentiment is supported wholeheartedly by the very people who are stopped while reading them. C. Anderson

Seven ways technology could improve your retail business
Speed, agility and efficiency are expected of today’s retail businesses. To achieve this, retailers should invest in an electronic inventory control system, a central database, a point of sales system and an automated statistical forecasting system. These tools don’t simply reduce your overhead and improve your planning. They’ve become essential tools that can provide a competitive edge. Here are seven ways technology can improve your retail business. 1. Reduce inventory costs An inventory control system is now a basic tool for retail management. It allows you to know what merchandise you have on hand and on order, and how many of each item you have received and sold. Once setup, these systems automatically update your database when products sell or move from one location to another — from a warehouse to a store, for example. They also provide a variety of instantaneous data analysis tools to keep track of your business. 2. Improve customer satisfaction Customers expect you to be able to tell them if you have a product in stock or on order. They don’t want to wait while you wander through the storeroom or phone the warehouse. Having an electronic inventory system allows you to answer customer questions with just a few keystrokes. 3. Automate your inventory control Electronic inven-

Future-proof your business
The 2017 edition of Small Business Week runs from Oct. 15 to 21 under the theme: Future-proof your business: Adapting to technology and demographic trends. This year, the business Development Bank of Canada is encouraging Canadian entrepreneurs to learn about key emerging business trends, in particular two forces that are reshaping Canada’s businesses: the evolution of talent and the digitization of the economy. tory control can eliminate over-ordering and underbuying by referring to each store’s sales history to calculate the optimum stock levels for each item. You tell the system how many days of supply you prefer — which you can modify, for example, according to the season— and the system will look at past sales patterns to determine when you need to re-order. 4. Facilitate inventory control Internal theft and pricing errors can eat up about
four per cent of retail inventory. A portable terminal offers much greater speed and accuracy than manual counts. The system immediately flags discrepancies with recorded inventory levels and verifies pricing, making it easier to detect pricing errors and missing merchandise on the spot. 5. Keep track of your margins Your inventory control system can suggest pricing and markdowns within your pre-set parameters, and/or track your margins

based on the prices you enter. It will also ensure you are always aware of gross margins. 6. Improve your forecasting Automated statistical forecasting systems create far more calculated and accurate demand forecasting. Past sales data, forecasts, and future orders are all on one system. As a result, more accurate forecasts can be made based on the totality of this information. 7. Adopt a just-in-time relationship with suppliers Forecasting tools work in tandem with a central database, inventory control and sales systems to tie purchasing more closely to actual customer demand. The result is an opportunity to reduce inventory and adopt a just-in-time relationship with suppliers.

Community is invited to Sea Sunday at St. David’s Annual event pays tribute to mariners ELIZABETH MURRAY

A sailing dinghy in the sanctuary of St. David’s Anglican Church Oct. 22 will proclaim Sea Sunday in a parish where its very location, Tsawwassen, is derived from the Coast Salish depiction “facing the sea.” From the church narthex to the sanctuary, a maritime theme will serve to remind parishioners and visitors of the vital place the sea and those who sail it have in our lives. It is widely recognized that 90 per cent of everything in shops today is imported by sea. Global trade is dependent on the shipping industry and any disruption in the deliv-
ery of goods, be it storm or other peril of the sea, directly affects one and all. It is the best possible reason to recognize and give thanks to mariners and those who work in the many supporting industries. Here in Ladner/ Tsawwassen, local dependence on seafarers is fairly obvious given the area’s proximity to BC Ferries, Seaspan’s barge/ ferry terminals on the Fraser River in Delta and Surrey, tugs and barges hauling wood products, rock, gravel and cement, not forgetting the fisher folk who provide food for the table. The recently re-dedicated Delta Lifeboat (formerly the Steveston Lifeboat), now based in
Ladner Harbour, plays a pivotal role in providing search and rescue support for commercial and native fisheries, along with other duties related to a Canadian Lifeboat Institute vessel. The Delta Lifeboat is owned by Tsawwassen residents John and Mary Horton and is captained by John, a senior lifeboat commander with CLI. Rev. Peter Smyth, senior port chaplain (Vancouver and Deltaport), will be guest preacher at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services on Sunday. Following the 10 a.m. service, a light lunch will be served to enable parishioners and guests to mingle and share tales of life at sea. St. David’s is located at 1115-51A St., Tsawwassen.
Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís to celebrate bicentenary of founder’s birth
Local Bahá’ís will be celebrating a significant anniversary in the history of their faith at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner this Saturday evening. The event will help mark the bicentenary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, an independent world religion that began in 1844. It is being organized by the Local Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Delta.
There will be an introduction and explanation of what the day is, excerpts from a video on the life of Bahá’u’lláh and his impact on societies around the world as well as a singing and pipa (stringedinstrument) performance, notes secretary of the local spiritual assembly Carol McKee. There will also be light refreshments including a cake in honour of the occasion and a display of information about the life of Bahá’u’lláh.
The public is welcome to attend and is asked to RSVP by Wednesday, Oct. 18 at deltabahais@gmail. com. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the program begins at 7:30 p.m. The religion’s “central message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for its unification in a global society, characterized by both spiritual and material prosperity,” according to the Bahá’í Community Canada.

New hiding spot needed so tiny candy survives
Living Matters
BARBARA GUNN
Yippee! It’s Tiny Candy Time! Indeed, October is the best. It has Thanksgiving. It has coloured leaves. It has apple cider and misty mornings and cozy nights by the fire. But it also has Tiny Candy Time, which extends the whole month through. During TCT, the O’Henry shrinks, as does the Mars bar, Twix and Kit-Kat. Only during TCT can a miniature packet of Skittles be had, or a teeny package of Twizzlers. You can’t come by the small stuff in June. Heck, it’s adorable, and I pick it up in bulk. “What do you have there?” asked the husband the other day. I had just returned from the grocery store. “Oh, nothing spe-
cial,” I said. “You know. Milk. Cheerios. Spinach. Laundry detergent.” “Wait a minute,” he said, peering inside one of my shopping bags. “Isn’t that a bag of Tootsie Rolls?” “They’re for Halloween,” I said. “Stay away.” This is the thing. I may be fond of TCT, but the husband’s a fan with a capital F. He looks forward to October the way a grade-schooler looks forward to summer. And no, he isn’t one to be picky. Never would he turn aside Starbursts in favour of Junior Mints or Swedish Berries in favour of Sour Patch Kids. When it comes to TCT, he spreads the love around. “So,” he said, “where are you hiding it this year?” “I can’t tell you,” I said. “If I did, it wouldn’t be hidden.” This is how it goes. I buy the stuff — in part, because it’s so darned cute — then have to stash it wherever. Each year, it’s a brandnew challenge to outwit the husband. “You putting it under the kitchen window seat again?” he asked. “No way,” I said. “That’s too obvious. Anyway, I already told you that I
can’t tell you where it’s going.” Year after year, I have to be more inventive. Only problem is, I can’t always remember where I stow it. Last February, for instance, I found a bag of Caramilk bars behind my canning equipment in the laundry room. Two months later, there was a sack of Snickers: in the snow tires in the shed. This year, I’m intent on being creative, but I’m also determined to place the TC in a spot that I’ll remember. Inside the washing machine? Completely impractical. In an empty cereal box? The husband would find it, no problem. I could put the cache in my golf bag, but chances are, I wouldn’t find it until next spring. And so, I’m now thinking I may hide the Tiny Candy within my plastic rain boots, all three pairs of them. The husband is unlikely to seek it out there, and I’m unlikely to forget the stash — given the odds of a sprinkle in October. I may need another secret spot, perhaps even two. There’s still time to pick up the small stuff. It’s so darling, I just can’t resist.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q: What you need to know about appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney?
QUESTION: Dad has been falling at home. What can we do to help?
A: An Enduring Power of Attorney or EPO delegates financial decision making to
Lucky Uppal Lawyer
another person in the event that you become mentally incapable of managing your own affairs. Your “lawful attorney” can sign legal documents or cheques on your behalf, pay your bills, and manage your investments and property. It is easy and inexpensive to make out an EPO and everyone should have one just in case. If you lose capacity without an EPO – illness, injury, old age – the options are not good, and much more expensive: Either the government steps in, or a friend or family member has to make an expensive court application. Your lawful attorney must always act in your best interests and never take a benefit for themselves.They must keep your money separate. And they must maintain meticulous records, including all invoices, bank statements and other records. Once you pass away, beneficiaries under your will can ask for an accounting of all transactions made on your behalf. Incomplete record keeping is the most common cause of litigation in this area. When selecting your Enduring Power of Attorney, it’s important for you to choose an individual who understands and is capable of taking on the serious responsibility of the job. Try to choose someone local, with the time to do a big job for you if needed, and who is trustworthy. And make sure you ask them if they are up for the challenge, should you need their help.
ANSWER: If your dad has unexpectedly started falling, that is certainly a concern with the best first step of trying to uncover the real reason. Nearly 1/3 of all people 65+ years old fall at home each year, increasing to 50% by age 80. Recent studies show that engaging in fall prevention techniques can not only reduce resulting injuries and recovery, as well, delay the need to move to a long-term residence. The two major causes of falls at home are: Health and age-related changes medications, slower reflexes, eyesight/hearing/balance issues, or, Hazards at home - slippery floors, poor lighting, loose rugs, clutter, lack of safety equipment. Focus on bathroom, bedroom, stairs, as most falls occur in these areas.

Some helpful prevention tips: • Have hearing and eyesight tested annually • Use nightlights in bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms • Install handrails on both sides of stairs and along hallways • Add safety grab bars in shower and toilet area • Consider using a shower bench & elevated toilet seat • Tape down or remove throw rugs to prevent catching underfoot • Stand up slowly to avoid light-headed/ unsteadiness • Use needed mobility devices indoors; canes or walkers • Minimize excess clutter to avoid tripping
updates and renovations are not taken into consideration. In our experience over the years, we have seen properties sell for much less and sometimes much more than the BC Assessment value.

When taking clubs out of your vehicle, bend your knees, slightly curve your spine, and gently lift the golf bag out of the vehicle. 4. ‘The clubs before the cart’ – Research shows that after one season of weekly golf games that involved walking the golf course, males over fifty significantly decreased their cholesterol count. [Source: October 1990 issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine] 5. Warm up for your first swing. Make sure you stretch. 6. Bend your knees and use a golf club for support before stooping for the ball, or when preparing to tee off. 7. Ensure that you use correct posture and spinal angles when driving and putting. 8. Stretch to cool down after your game. See your chiropractor for more information. Accepting New Patient, ICBC, WCB, Extended Health Coverage.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “PORT” YOUR MORTGAGE?
ANSWER:
ANSWER:
David Moore
Porting means keeping your mortgage… but changing your home. Essentially you are picking up your current mortgage with its terms and conditions and moving it to a new home. Porting your mortgage will save you a costly penalty or allow you to keep an attractive mortgage rate. Lenders will require an up to date credit application and will want to review the details of the new property before approving the “port”. If your looking at a larger home you also may also qualify to add-on to the mortgage. Contact your mortgage professional for details.
First, how much do you value your friendship? Second, does your friend have a license, liability insurance, trust bank accounts. Third, do you have a network of prospective tenants, insured repair people, and a means to check credit and references? Renting such a valuable asset to a complete stranger is a risky proposition and should be left to a trained professional. Call Your Rental Champions Today! David 778-991-1966 direct.

Q: What are the benefits of gifting securities directly to a charitable organization? A:
For many Canadians, charitable giving will be top of mind in the coming weeks as the holiday season approaches. Making a gift of publicly traded securities to your favourite charity is one of the most tax effective ways you can give. When you donate publicly traded securities to a charitable organization you will not have to pay capital gains tax. You also receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of your shares which will help you reduce your tax on other income. When you consider making a gift of securities instead of cash, you may be able to make a larger gift than you thought possible. Your support through a gift of shares can have a huge impact on a cause near and dear to your heart.
Angela Turner Major Giving Manager Delta Hospital Foundation
If you are thinking of making a gift of securities this year, now is a great time to start the conversation with your financial advisor. It is always a good idea to discuss your personal circumstances with your financial advisor to make sure it is the right decision for you.
dhfoundation.ca
Delta Hospital Foundation makes giving a gift of securities easy once you have made the decision. All you need to do is contact us and ask for a transfer form. Once you have completed the transfer form, give it to your broker to initiate the transfer of shares to the Delta Hospital Foundation. More information on making a charitable gift of securities to Delta Hospital Foundation is available in our Donor Centre online at www.dhfoundation.ca.

QUESTION:
Hi Michael, Asbestos is the new “dirty word” in the contracting industry. It is a substance that was used extensively in the construction industry for decades. It was used because it was effective for fire prevention, heat retention and strength and it was cheap. They discovered many years ago, that it is very dangerous if the fibers became airborne and are inhaled. Many of us are in homes and buildings every day that contain asbestos. This is not a problem, until the asbestos is disturbed. That means, cutting, drilling, sanding or any action that can make the asbestos airborne is a serious concern. This is not just for Paul Bach you and your family but also, for any contractor who may be working for you. WorksafeBC has been on a big push to make Owner everyone aware of these dangers and to make sure that no 604-940-2268 one works unsafely with it. In fact WorksafeBC will not allow workers to perform any work without having Test Reports on site. Asbestos can be abated and dealt with safely but, it is a process that has to be done by qualified professionals and it will add cost to your project. Asbestos is most commonly found in Drywall Mud, Ceilings and Floor Tiles. If your house is pre-1995, before you start any projects in your home, getting tests done is a very good idea. Give us a call if you need www.PJBmechanical.com sampling or tests done.- Paul

ADVICE FROM THE PROS I think I have the “flu”; my friend says I have a bad cold – what’s the difference? Ans. Thanks for this great question. Both are caused by viral infections and are contagious but there are several differences between influenza and the common cold. You can make the distinction between the two based on your symptoms. Fever: rare in a cold, common in influenza; Headache: rare in a cold, intense with influenza; General aches and pains: rare in cold, common in influenza; Extreme exhaustion: never with cold, common with influenza (usually starts early); Stuffy / Runny nose / Sore Throat / Sneezing: common with a cold, rare with influenza; Cough: found in both, usually starts early with influenza. There are rarely any serious complications with a cold beyond sinus congestion, influenza infections can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia (can be fatal if very severe). Treatment options vary between illness’; cold symptoms are usually managed with rest and over the counter products (if necessary); influenza is managed by rest, fluids, over the counter products and prescription medications such as oseltamivir or zanamivir (if appropriate), occasionally hospitalization is necessary. There is no prevention method for the common cold; for influenza, your best protection is the flu shot. Come see me at the pharmacy for more prevention tips and treatment options for both diseases.
QUESTION Someone I know has a hearing loss but is reluctant to seek help. What should I do? ANSWER Convincing someone to seek help for hearing loss is the right thing to do, but it’s not always easy. The inability to hear warning sounds or the voices of dependents could potentially put lives in danger. Emotionally, the impact can resonate throughout family and social circles — from frustration with repeating things, to sadness at seeing a loved one isolate themselves from the people and activities they enjoy.

I feel like my hormones are all over the place but I’m too young for menopause. Could my hormones be imbalanced?
What is a rock pit?
ANSWER:
A rock pit is usually installed when the City cannot provide a storm sewer connection at time of construction. Typically homes constructed in lower lying areas or where storm sewer infrastructure was never allowed for. A rock pit was a 4-6 foot square area dug out in the back yard approx 2 -3 foot deep.Filled with gravel to allow the homes drain tile system to drain in to. Rock pits fail due to sediment and clay build up underground and debris in gutters and driveway drains that find there way into drain tile system. Majority of the time most rock pits were installed to shallow and not large enough to handle the volume of water from the homes drain tile system. With newer home construction today there is always a storm sewer connection provided for the homes drain tile system. Call us today to book your Drain tile inspection before the heavy rains start.
ANSWER:
Our hormones can cause us symptoms long before menopause! Long-term stress, pregnancy, busy schedules and lack of self-care lead to depletion of our hormones even before our 40’s.

This is going to be a (professional) relationship where you may share intimate life details so of course you want to know if you can trust the individual. If a counsellor/coach offers a free first session: take advantage of this and ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS! Interview them, request references, work with professionals who are insured, work with someone governed by an association (like the CPCA or CCPA) so you have recourse and ask how they have handled ethical dilemmas and confidentiality. Only move forward if they seem like a good fit, and communicate with them if you are have concerns. Remember you are in the driver’s seat, and you deserve to have a health care professional you trust and can work with.

Devils deliver on Brian’s day
South Delta topples Mt. Doug to stay perfect in game dedicated to former coach 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 No. 2 ranking in the province and a perfect 4-0 conference record yet a third place finish is still not even guaranteed. Welcome to the “Wild West” of B.C. High School Football’s top tier. The South Delta Sun Devils continued their impressive season with a 36-18 victory over the Mt. Doug Rams in one of the more memorable afternoons in the program’s rich history. The final game of the 2017 campaign at the SDSS oval was dedicated to the memory of former head coach Brian Higgins who lost his battle to cancer back in July at the age of 67. Alumni were out in full force to honour the man who guided the Sun Devils program from 1995 to 2006. His wife Jennifer took part in the ceremonial coin toss. South Delta then proceeded with another entertaining affair against an opponent that is better than their 1-3 record reflects. The hosts broke a tight game open with a pair of touchdowns to close out the first half and answered any comeback attempt by the Victoria school over the final two quarters. The team had about a day to enjoy the win before preparing for its next hurdle on Friday night in Burnaby against the 2-2 Notre Dame Jugglers. It’s the start of three big road games in as many weeks that will determine the final standings in the Western Conference. South Delta travels to North Delta the following week to take on the Seaquam Seahawks (3-1), before heading to New West Nov. 3 for a date with the No. 1 Hyacks (4-0). The Sun Devils can ill afford to get ahead of themselves and fortunately their veteran coaching staff knows it. Under first-year coach Denis Kelly, the Jugglers dropped a 44-27 decision to New West last Friday. It was the most points the Hyacks have surrendered all season. “They seem to be getting better with each week with Denis coaching,” said

The No. 2 ranked Sun Devils rolled to a 36-18 win. South Delta offensive coordinator Mark McDonald of the former longtime mentor at WJ Mouat. “Nothing is getting easier for us and it’s going to be a real challenge. You also want to make sure you come out of your division not hurt (for the playoffs). That’s the luxury (some of the teams) in the other conference have.” The Sun Devils took the opening kickoff and impressively marched down field. The drive was capped off by a four-yard pass from quarterback Michael Calvert to running
back Andrew Kraft. The Rams answered on a unconverted defensive score when Calvert was sacked in the end zone and the ball was recovered for a touchdown. It stayed 8-6 until the late stages of the second quarter when Calvert was sprung on a 70-yard run, setting the stage for Kraft’s second major of the afternoon from four yards out. A key defensive knockdown by corner Will Raderecht gave South Delta one more possession before halftime and Calvert moved them back
into the red zone. The drive culminated with another touchdown from Kraft — an electrifying nine-yard run that saw the Grade 11 break at least three tackles. “I thought Andrew beating all those guys was a real momentum changer,” said Calvert. “Instead of them stopping us there, we really got our edge back and took that into the second half. “(On that long run) it was supposed to be a read option and I kind of bobbled it. I just followed the play and the hole opened up. I tried to get what I could. I played Team B.C.

with a lot of those (Mt. Doug) guys. I know how talented their line is. I think we came in with a good game plan.” The Rams unleashed their standout quarterback Gideone Kremler. He has missed significant time over the past two seasons with knee injuries after leading the Rams to the 2015 provincial title in his Grade 9 year. He threw for 242 yards but the Rams could only answer Sun Devil scores in the second half. A week earlier it was Billy Matwichyna leading the aerial attack past Vancouver College. This time it was Doug Jamieson — another lifetime teammate of Calvert. The Grade 12 receiver hauled in touchdown passes of 20 and 42 yards — making it look easy each time with little in the way of a celebration once he reached the end zone. “Doug has been playing with these guys for a long time and it was Max (Stalling) that got things started (with a great catch),” added McDonald. “They are all just going out there and having some fun.”

The Delta Ice Hawks wasted little time getting back in the win column and they had the ideal opponent to do it against. The Ice Hawks rolled to a 6-2 road win over the Surrey Knights last Thursday behind the four-point performance of Jonathan Stein. The result came 48 hours after they were handed their first loss of the season — a 4-1 setback to the visiting Abbotsford Pilots. Delta enters this week’s play with a 10-1-0-0 record — three points better than the North Vancouver Wolf Pack in the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s Tom Shaw Conference. The Knights are looking for their first win since the franchise moved to Surrey from Langley at the start of the 2016-17 season — an astonishing streak of 56 games. Their last win came in November, 2015. They are definitely more competitive this season under former Ice Hawks and first-year coaches Spencer and Scott McHaffie but still no match for the league’s top team. The Hawks pulled away with three unanswered goals, including final period tallies from Blake Bonnar and Stein, who also recorded three assists. They outshot the hosts 62-28, including 26 in the second period alone. Liam Visram, Nathan Pelletier and Nick Marsh had the other
goals. It was Marsh’s first game back in the line-up after suffering minor injuries in a car accident en route to a home game last month. Alex Suprynowicz chipped in with three assists, while Jordy Engleson got the win in net. It was a frustrating evening against the Pilots as the Hawks failed to convert numerous quality scoring chances in the early going and it caught up to them against the Harold Brittain Conference leaders (8-3-0-1). The visitors scored twice in the second to open up a 3-0 lead, then made it 4-0 before Jordan Deyrmenjian finally put Delta on the board with less than four minutes remaining. The loss was also costly from a personnel standpoint. Rookie blueliner Gabriel LeBlanc was accessed a match penalty, while Deyrmenjian received a game misconduct in the final minute of play. Both are serving three-game suspensions. They missed last night’s home tilt against Langley and also this coming Saturday when the Hawks visit Port Moody. Icing… Former Ice Hawk Jordan Bogress is off to a solid start with the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The 18-year-old Ladner native has five points in seven games, including a pair of goals. He was the top rookie scorer in the PJHL last season.

ROGERS (nee Kettles), Joan Louise December 17, 1932 − October 1, 2017
Valley View Funeral Home 604-596-8866
Joan passed away after a brief battle with cancer, with family by her side. Joan was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the youngest of 6 children. During the war, Joan’s family moved to Victoria and, then to Ladner, where her father managed the Mc and Mc store on Delta Street. Joan worked at the Ladner Post Office until she was required to resign because of her marriage to the love of her life, Bill. They married on January 4, 1955 and soon started their family. Over the next 15 years they had 5 children.
CARNEY, James “Jim” March 22, 1940 - October 12, 2017 With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our wonderful Father. Dad was pre-deceased by his elder son, Gordon Carney, on November 6th, 2016. He is survived by his sister Maureen (Lionel), daughter Colleen (David), son Brent (Gayle), their mother Judy (Ken), grand-children Laura (Julian), David (Ashley), Christine (James), Elizabeth (Graham), his “great grand-varmints” Theo and Jamie, along with many cousins and dear friends. Dad lost his Father in World War II which left his Mother, Victoria, to raise him and his sister in post-war Vancouver. She had her hands full with Jim! He liked to regale his children about his youthful escapades, including the time when his Mother threw him off the back porch! He became a fine young man, sooner rather than later, and went on to marry and raise a family.
Joan loved theatre and acted in, wrote and directed many local events. Joan loved to cook and entertain and was a keen card player who hated to lose, a trait she inherited from her mother. Most of all, she loved her children, as well as playing with, loving, and helping raise her 24 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Joan is survived by her husband of 62 years, Bill, and her children Frank (Jane), Janice, Richard (Shelley), Joy (Danny) and Gillian (Michael), and her 24 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Her family is proud of the legacy she leaves, and of the influence she has had on them and on those who knew her in her community. Joan’s Celebration of Life will be held at Ladner United Church, where she was an active member, on October 21st at 1 PM.

Jim moved his young family to Tsawwassen in the mid 1960’s where they raised three kids. We were definitely his proudest accomplishments. Dad was fond of saying, “Not one of my kids went to jail”, which was a measurement of his successful parenting! He was a very hands on father coaching Gordon and Brent in many of their sports activities. He also built a mini barn for Colleen’s first horse.
Joan had a lengthy career with the CIBC and held a variety of increasingly challenging positions there, and retired after her 65th birthday. She was the CIBC’s first female branch manager in BC.
A proud working man, Dad started off at a local sawmill to support us. Later, he decided that being self-employed was the way to go and he dove into the life of a trucker where he remained, despite “technically” retiring at 68, up to the middle of this year. He loved the people and especially the banter that went along with the job! Dad’s outgoing, amicable character and “Carney Charm” allowed him to foster many lifelong relationships. His sense of humour, sarcastic wit, passionate opinions (which he would continually repeat), made for decades of interesting discussions whether we were all out having a coffee or at family dinners. He liked to dole out advice, solicited or not, on any and every aspect of our lives.
He loved the water and was an avid boater for nearly 50 years. He lived most of his life aboard his beloved boat. He enjoyed puttering around, making the bright work shine and chatting with his friends in the marine community. Dad spent many summers cruising the Gulf Islands. Dad had a curious mind and a thirst for knowledge which led him to become a voracious reader. He was also a keen traveller. He explored parts of Africa, Europe and many other destinations in western Canada and the U.S. He particularly enjoyed visiting his cousin Neil in Oregon and Las Vegas. One of his most meaningful trips was when he traveled with his mother and Maureen to Sicily to visit his father’s grave. Over the years, Jim would be called upon to house/ barn sit at Terpsma Farms where he enjoyed the cows, cats and the land. Recently, his favourite foray was up to Brent’s cabin on Mount Washington. Brent and Dad treasured the time they had together there. Dad continually expressed gratitude to his family and friends for their kindness, caring and support. The family is very grateful to Delta Hospital and the Irene Thomas Hospice for their compassion during his illness. Dad requested that there be no service but he would happy to have a donation made in his name to the Hospital and Hospice. Fair winds and following seas Dad.

VANMARREWYK, Albert January 12, 1947 - October 5, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Albert VanMarrewyk. Albert joins in Heaven his daughter Monique VanMarrewyk. He leaves behind his children Brenda (Brad), Raymond (Sharon) and Ronald (Stephanie) as well as his 9 grandchildren Jenna, Emily, Taylor, Danica, Ethan, Renee, Erik, Paige and Andy. He is survived in Holland by his brothers Jos (Hermien), Wil and Nico (Nel) and his sisters Mieke, Margot, Lydia and Lien (Niek). Born in Honselersdijk, Netherlands, he immigrated to Canada in 1969 to start a new life. He worked his entire career in the Vegetable Greenhouse Industry in BC. Albert played an important role in shaping the Greenhouse industry in BC. He was always willing to contribute by being involved in Provincial and Federal boards related to the Greenhouse industry. Albert worked very hard all his life and provided well for his family. He was a caring and very passionate person. His generosity and willingness to help was felt by both those who knew him well and sometimes by those who did not know him at all. He could talk to nearly anyone but was not always able to express his deepest feelings. This past January we celebrated Albert’s 70th birthday with a lot of friends and family. In recent years, Albert spent a lot of the time in Osoyoos playing golf, walking downtown and travelling often to the beaches of Mexico. His infectious smile, his distinct voice and laugh and his dedication to family and friends will be greatly missed. We all have “Un-be-lievable” and “Awesome” memories of him. A Celebration of life will be held on Friday October 20, 2017 at 10:30 am at the South Delta Baptist Church (1988 - 56th Street, Delta) with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in the name of Albert VanMarrewyk to Canadian Mental Health Association (BC Division). To leave condolence messages, please visit Albert’s Memorial page at AmherstCremation.com
We love and miss you Joan, Mom, Nana, Old Nana.
