New rules for secondary suites
Residents will need to obtain municipal business licence to keep renting out their units 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 wants to avoid a problem seen in Surrey’s Clayton Heights. The city recently issued notices to Delta residents who have legal secondary suites that they’ll need to obtain a municipal business licence in order to keep renting their units. A requirement as of Nov. 1 of this
year, the fee is $50, but it doesn’t apply to homeowners who occupy a primary dwelling and whose suite is unoccupied or is being used by a family member. Coun. Bruce McDonald said it’s all part of helping Delta better keep track of secondary suites as well as pay for the increased cost of enforcement. But there’s more coming as the city will also have a new provision in the bylaws that limit
which houses can legally have a secondary suite, he said. “We’re tweaking it a little bit. We now have a policy that will be put in a bylaw very soon that you can’t have a suite unless you have 49-feet frontage and that is what we determined is adequate for a parking spot, because parking is a problem and you see that happening in Surrey now,” said McDonald. “Better off to say up front to
people, ‘You know what, if you don’t have enough room, and 49 feet is what we determined is adequate to put in a parking spot, you can’t have a suite. We noticed it was starting to become a problem in cu-de-sacs.” Surrey’s crackdown on illegal secondary suites in Clayton Heights has drawn the ire of homeowners there, many renting multiple suites with their coach houses as well as units
within their main dwellings. Lack of street parking is a big reason behind the complaints, leading Surrey to begin pondering issuing parking permits. The Delta policy making it tougher to include a legal suite, either on existing or newly subdivided lots, unless they’re 15 metres in width or greater was in response to complaints about tenants taking up street parking.

Rise in crime against seniors
Police put spotlight on issue, hope to raise awareness and have others come forward 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
Preying on the trust and vulnerability of a senior is a crime Delta police are seeing more and more of. And now with the arrest and charge of two suspects in a pair of separate cases, police are bringing to light this often hidden crime. Last week 33-year-old Lucas William Robert Robinson of Delta made his first appearance in Surrey provincial court facing charges of theft and fraud. In 2015 police received a complaint of suspicious activity involving financial management and care of a senior in the community. During the course of an indepth investigation police learned that the suspect was granted Enduring Power of Attorney allowing unfettered access to all funds of the senior. “It was in this trusted capacity that the offences of theft and fraud were alleged to have been committed over an extended period of time,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks. “The sum of the theft and fraud are in excess of $300,000.” Following the lengthy investigation, Crown Counsel approved charges

DPD’s Sharlene Brooks said police suspect there is more crime against seniors than what is being reported. on Oct. 3 and an arrest warrant was issued on Oct. 4. Robinson turned himself into police that same day. He is due back in court Nov. 23 following his first appearance on Nov. 9. “Elder abuse can elude police because it can be well hidden and actions can have the appearance of legitimacy,” said Brooks. “This case required persistence and digging below
the surface.” Another lengthy yearlong police investigation led to the arrest and charges of a man last month suspected of defrauding an elderly Delta woman of thousands of dollars. Darrin Richard John Power has been charged with fraud, forgery, intimidation, extortion and possession of stolen property. He is due back in court on Nov. 20.
Last September, DPD responded to the allegations, which allegedly took place over several months in 2015. According to police, the initial encounter between the suspect and the woman was when he approached her in the lobby of her apartment in North Delta. Officers began their investigation, which indicated that the suspect’s mode of operation was to
target both elderly individuals and those affiliated to church groups giving a false story about being in need of money to attend his mother’s funeral outside of the Lower Mainland. “These two cases are an example of victims or others coming forward with information and we are actively investigating them and we are seeing results,” added Brooks. “Our suspicion is that there is a lot more of it going on than what is being reported. Maybe there is embarrassment on the part of the person who is being taken advantage of. Fear that the situation may become worse if they speak out. There could be a lot of self-doubt, or it could be on the surface things seem to be so legitimate that those that have a connection with these folks wouldn’t put two and two together that there is a problem.” Brooks said police are hoping that by bringing these cases to the forefront it will bring about public awareness and others may come forward. “We must all work together to ensure our seniors are well cared for and not taken advantage of,” Brooks said.
Approximately 4,200 secondary suites in Delta CONTINUED from Page 1 Other changes include provisions regarding parking spaces, prompted by homeowners who have a spot for tenants within a home’s driveway, but use those spots to park
their own vehicles, boats or RV’s, forcing tenants to take up street parking. Last year the secondary suite program ceased and all applications to legalize them now have to undergo a different permitting pro-
cess through the community planning and development department. One of the other big changes relates to the water service bylaw, which now requires all houses with a suite, regardless
whether it’s being rented, to be metered for water consumption. There’s approximately 4,200 secondary suites identified in Delta, but nearly 2,200 of those have occupancy permits for
legal suites. A further 1,700 suites have a statutory declaration signed. Those declarations state the suite is not rented and all the residents in a house have reasonable access to all rooms within the dwelling.

AN EVENING WITH DR. DEBORAH MACNAMARA
Making Sense of Anxiety IN PRE-TEENS AND ADOLESCENTS As many as 20% of children and teens qualify for an anxiety disorder diagnosis, making it the most common mental health issue today. Anxiety can take many forms – obsessions, compulsions, phobias – as well as other perplexing behaviours. We cannot treat something we don’t understand, and making sense of anxiety is fundamental in making headway. This tailored talk will address anxiety in pre-teens and adolescents. Dr. MacNamara's presentation will bring a fresh and promising perspective to one of our most troubling human problems.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2017 Dr. MacNamara is a developmentalist and author of the best selling book, Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (or Anyone Who Acts Like One). She is on faculty at the Neufeld Institute, and is the Director of Kid’s Best Bet, a counselling and family resource center.

Officer’s quick actions likely save driver’s life
Naloxone administered after vehicle pulled over IAN JACQUES

Quick actions from a Delta police officer likely saved a suspected impaired driver from overdosing in his vehicle Thursday night. Around 9 p.m. police observed a vehicle travelling northbound in the southbound lanes in the 8000 block of 120th Street. The officer pulled the vehicle over and the driver provided a plausible explanation for the driving pattern indicating that, he had worked a long day and was simply tired and on his way home. “There were no blatant indicators of impairment upon first interaction with the driver, so the officer was going to issue a violation ticket based on the dangers this driving pattern presented to everyone on the roadway,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks. “Once the officer had completed the documents

A Delta police officer administered Naloxone Thursday night while investigating a suspected impaired driving incident in North Delta. and returned to the vehicle to serve the violation ticket, the driver was now slumped over the wheel and unresponsive and displayed signs of overdose. The officer administered Naloxone and the driver immediately became more responsive. Ambulance was called and the driver was transported to hospital for treatment relative to a drug overdose.” The driver was issued a 24-hour driving prohibi-
tion and police are continuing with their investigation of impaired driving. “This serves as another example of the dangers of impaired driving that are not just limited to alcohol but extend to drugs as well. This situation could have ended tragically on multiple levels that could have impacted many. Fortunately the officer was out patrolling the streets and had Naloxone at the ready,” said Brooks.

Most don’t want to see development in ALR Study funded by pair of foundations
Most British Columbians don’t want to see any development on Agricultural Land Reserve. That’s according to a study funded by the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. and the Vancouver Foundation, which found that 95 per cent of respondents to a provincewide poll think the ALR should be preserved for growing food and green space. Eighty per cent of British Columbians are concerned about our dependence on other countries for our food security, while 73 per cent think the ALR is a cornerstone of food security and the B.C. economy, the study found. “Local, sustainable food systems are a priority issue for the Foundation because of the link between food security and community well-being,” said Jack Wong, CEO of the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. “With challenges such as development pressure on agricultural land and

Foundation. When the ALR was introduced in 1973, Delta New Democrat MLA Carl Liden explained it was necessary because speculators owned most of the farmland in Delta. A 2013 Metro Vancouver survey found 28 per cent of farmland in Richmond, Delta, Langley, Surrey and Barnston Island was identified as not being in agriculture production, even though it had the potential for farming. That survey also concluded the situation will not change “without some significant intervention.”

All systems go for 2017’s Operation Red Nose Official launch of campaign held in Ladner
Last Thursday was the official 2017 launch for Operation Red Nose at Delta Gymnastics Society, hosts of the campaign for Delta and Richmond. The holiday safe driving program starts on Friday, Nov. 24. Delta Gymnastics ushered in the 16th season of this annual campaign with an event in Ladner recognizing sponsors, community supporters, including the City of Delta, Delta Police and ICBC. DPD Insp. Kelly Young praised the campaign as an “invaluable resource” and thanked Operation Red Nose for assisting police with keeping the roads safe. Karon Trenaman, ICBC Road Safety Coordinator was on hand explaining the incredible growth of the campaign throughout the province. Operation Red Nose began in B.C. in 1996 and in 2016 alone more than 5,000 rides were provided through 12 hosts representing 19 municipalities across the province, she

John Holmes, owner of Hawaiian Beach Tanning Salon in Ladner and a sponsor of the campaign, has been volunteering for 16 years – every night of the campaign each year. “I got involved because I like helping both the people who have been out enjoying the festivities as well as the travelling public who might be impacted by an accident involving an impaired driver,” Holmes said. Volunteers are still being recruited and needed.
“It is a very rewarding experience as the people you drive are extremely thankful for giving of your time to drive them home safely,” added Ana Arciniega, Delta Gymnastics’ executive director. To use the service teams will be available to drive people and their vehicles safely home on Nov. 24 and 25 and Dec. 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16 and 31.

Murphy’s Law
E
TED MURPHY
ven the most novice parent quickly realizes that behaviour won’t change until consequences provide a sufficient deterrent, a basic premise we’re slowly embracing with drivers who behave badly. Although we’ve made significant strides in curbing impaired driving over the years, I have long been of the opinion that it doesn’t get punished to the extent it should because, despite its grave nature, it’s a crime any of us could potentially commit. Most of us are unlikely to walk into a convenience store brandishing a gun, but get behind the wheel after a few too many at the pub? Well, that could happen to anyone. Or almost anyone. We talk a good game when it comes to drunk driving and expend all kinds of resources, police and otherwise, yet it seems to me we could forego much of that time and money by simply making the consequences so severe it wouldn’t even cross your mind to drive should you have imbibed. Now that distracted driving has surpassed impaired driving as a cause of traffic fatalities in this province, we’re beginning to take action on this new scourge on our roads, but because it’s another everyman’s kind of crime, the punishment is taking its time to catch up to the reckless behaviour. Despite crashes and insurance rates both increasing at alarming rates, the province only upped the fine for distracted driving last year from $167 to $368. Over 40,000 people were pulled over for distracted driving in B.C. in 2016 so clearly many viewed the threat of a fine as a risk they were willing to take. The new NDP government is now giving those morons something more to think about by hitting repeat offenders in the wallet with Attorney General David Eby announcing last week that two distracted driving tickets within a three-year period could cost as much as $2,000 starting early next year. That’s certainly a decent-sized step in the right direction but will it be enough to dramatically curb a behaviour that’s responsible for some 80 deaths in B.C. every year? I guess we can only wait and see what impact the new rules will have, but I’m not sure even they will be sufficient. We can continue to have all the awareness campaigns and enforcement blitzes we want, but if we want it to stop, we’ve got to get tougher.
TownCentretribulations
T
he City of Delta’s Chief Administrative Officer George Harvie, said “The community in Tsawwassen is supportive of a re-build of the Town Centre and other areas that are aging. We just have to do it right.” Harvie’s quote in the Optimist surprised me because I was at the open house and it seemed the majority in attendance were not supportive of the project. Reasons given were ugly design, too many floors, it will create canyons of darkness, too many people with more cars, wood-frame construction is bad and we don’t need more housing in Tsawwassen. I will argue two of these points. And give some credence to one. The first is easy. Without a doubt we need more ‘affordable’ and ‘inclusive’ housing everywhere, even in upscale Tsawwassen. A percentage of affordable units (maybe 20 per cent) should be mixed throughout the building, be smaller (475 to 565 sq. ft.) and have durable but non-luxury finishings. Those with financial means can rent the larger highend units. Point two: I asked an established architect-planner about wood-frame versus concrete construction. His response: “In many ways six-storey wood-frame construction is superior to concrete. It’s significantly less expensive,
Community Comment ML BURKE
around $75 per sq. ft. less, plus wood frame buildings generally resist earthquake forces better than any other form of construction. “Wood construction, using a renewable resource, is much more environmentally sensitive than concrete, where the production of steel and Portland cement are very energy consuming. “Codes require a specified level of sound attenuation between suites, and between suites and common areas. These standards are equally achievable in both modern wood frame construction and concrete, i.e. there’s no difference if constructed properly. “Same with fire safety. There are a number of requirements for six-storey wood-frame buildings that are additional to what is required for more traditional fourstorey construction that ensure fire safety. Note that walls in concrete construction are light steel
frame, not concrete. It’s actually harder to achieve fire resistance ratings than it is in wood frame, i.e., wood frame walls are inherently more fire resistive than light steel frame. In the early days of six storey wood frame construction there was a serious issue with fire during construction. Since a fire at a construction site in Vancouver a few years ago, this has been solved.” As to the design... I agree it could use some tweaking to offset the big block appearance, but to keep the six stories for affordability. Maybe an interesting false front borrowed from the charmed European streetscapes of narrow buildings with various colours, windows and roof facades. I also agree it would be good to see sketches of the entire vision, not just one stage at a time. A recent letter to the editor referred to the building as “housing for the proletariat.” I can only hope this writer was referring (unfairly) to the design of the old Soviet block apartments and not to the good folks who will rent there some day. I liked Sean Hodgins’ comment in response to the City’s request. “If you are looking for someone to accept a bottomless pit of Tsawwassen critique, I’m your man. I’m very used to public process, so I don’t take it personally. I will re-work things as needed.” We are fortunate Mr. Hodgins has such a thick skin.

Letters
Letter lacks references
Editor: There seems to be a failing among some letter writers who make statements, but do not cite references leaving the reader the only option to assume that what the writer put to paper was more fabrication than fact. Johann Baart’s comments in the Nov. 1 issue is a prime example of this. Baart assumes that Mayor Jackson and MLA Paton do not have a “long-term vision” simply because both support a bridge as a replacement for the aging George Massey Tunnel. Baart’s comments with reference to the proposed bridge, “was never anything more than a pet project of the Port of Vancouver and its wishes
to get deeper hulled vessels up river” is one more example of lack of reference. Where is the proof? Cite the paper in which such is stated. Additionally, at “a 10-lane bridge … will only facilitate more single occupancy cars on the road and more transport trucks and turn Highway 99 into a parking lot.” That comment reveals a lack of knowledge that currently Highway 99 is congested and can be referred to as a ‘parking lot much of the time.’ In what manner will the twinning of the Massey Tunnel provide “cost savings” that “can be used to establish a rapid transit right-of-way to the south side of the Fraser River” plus the idea that “initially
bus rapid transit that connects Delta, Surrey and White Rock to Bridgeport Station” in Richmond and the Skytrain system. It seems to me that such is the case now, but that the service is lacking in design and frequency. As to “perhaps 20 years down the road, an LRT of some variety can be built using this right-of-way when the density and funding are there to justify it” seems to overlook the density increase that is with us currently. Twenty years into the future any current costs will have escalated exponentially to the point it might just not be feasible. Then what? Write more letters to a newspaper, perhaps? SM Cruickshank

Returning volunteer ready for first Operation Red Nose shift
Editor: It is nearing that time of the year when I get excited about the prospect of volunteering again with Operation Red Nose. Operation Red Nose is more than a fundraising event for Delta Gymnastics in Ladner. It is a service to those who are in tune with the danger that impaired
driving poses for our communities. This will be my fourth year volunteering. I love volunteering for Operation Red Nose because this is an excellent organization that is focused on serving our community. It addresses the issue of impaired driving with thoughtfulness and clarity. And they treat each volunteer with great
respect and appreciation always welcoming feedback on how they can be more effective. My application has been dropped off including my completed criminal record check. I am ready to drive again beginning on Friday, Nov. 24 for my first shift. Hats off to this great community organization. Douglas C. Woods

Have you ever wondered who might be responsible for the wonderful and creative decorations that pop up seasonally and on special occasions on the Welcome to Ladner sign on Ladner Trunk Road? Well, after the Optimist published a letter from a resident recently who said she missed seeing the heron dressed up, our newsroom received a call from the man responsible. He wishes to remain anonymous, not looking for any community praise or much publicity, so for the purpose of this story we will call him John. John has lived in Ladner with his family for more than 30 years. He originally lived in Vancouver, moved to Richmond and then Ladner - a community that he loves and cherishes. “It’s a good community. I’ve always been involved in coaching, sports and active in the community,” he said. “One day my family and I were trav-
elling across the Lions Gate Bridge and I saw the two lions that sit at the bridge and someone had put hockey jerseys on them. I thought what a great idea. It was in my head and Delta had just changed the welcome sign and included the heron. Someone put a hat on it, and I thought I could do better.” So he started adding more decorations as the seasons changed or for seasonal holidays like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Canada Day. The decorated heron soon became the talk of the town. “I would be out shopping and I would here people saying ‘did you see the heron. I wonder who is doing that’ and I would be literally standing right beside them,” he recalled. “My kids loved helping me. It was a big stealthy thing when my daughter would dress up in black and we’d go out after dark and decorate the heron and then stealthy drive away.” John says he has outfits

A local resident has been decorating the Welcome to Ladner sign on Ladner Trunk Road for different occasions. for every occasion with six Rubbermaid bins in his attic full of decorations that he’s acquired over the past 10 years or so from local thrift shops and area stores. He makes sure that he cleans the sign, picks up garbage in the area and uses a special kind of tape to ensure he doesn’t damage the sign. “It started out with seasons and morphed in everything from Christmas to St. Patrick’s Day,” he said. “I sometimes put in little messages. The time when Roberto Luongo was trad-
ed from the Canucks I put in a bye-bye Bobby Lou. That one hurt a bit, but I’m always careful to not make any political statements.” There is a Facebook page dedicated to the heron decorator with more than 2,000 likes. “I feel like I have to do it. If I miss something, like over the summer I didn’t do anything people notice. I like the community part of it. If it puts a smile on someone’s face that’s huge. Some people know who I am, but I think the mystic about it is really kind of cool.”

Delta is home to an impressive group of young ‘green thumbs.’ Several youngsters along with their smiling parents were on hand Nov. 6 at Delta council where they were recognized by Mayor Lois Jackson as this year’s Mayor’s Garden Contest for Kids. The contest is an annual event to encourage children and youth ages five to 16 and grades K to 12 to be active outdoors and foster an appreciation for nature by learning how to garden.
“In today’s busy world, it can be tremendously rewarding for kids and adults alike to see the fruits of their efforts when the first flower blooms or the first vegetable sprouts,” said Jackson. “What can be better than eating the vegetables you have planted, fresh from the garden? And, an added benefit of gardening is that it promotes a healthy lifestyle.” Jackson said she was pleased with the response of the contest with a good mix of returning gardeners and a new crop of gardeners. Prizes were handed

In the flower category the winners were: Juliet Harris-Unger, Vamakshi Parikh, and Caleb Reberio; in the vegetable category: Abhinav Kannan, Raina Zang and Nicolas Mahaux, while the winner of the school classroom category was Hawthorne Elementary. “Congratulations to all the children who entered the contest. Keep gardening. I look forward to seeing photos of your gardens next year,” Jackson said.

Delta Hospice has received a very meaningful gift from a very special boy. Liam just celebrated his 9th birthday and rather than have his friends bring gifts he asked them for money that could be donated to a cause close to his heart. He wanted to share his gifts with the Delta Hospice Society who took great care of his grandfather, Bill, at the Irene Thomas Hospice. “We are greatly appreciative of Liam’s generous heart. His parents must be very proud of his decision to support a local cause that is deeply meaningful to their family. Delta Hospice feels very honoured to receive this gift,” said Trish Factor, Delta Hospice administrative coordinator.

Delta council provided another financial shot in the arm for the Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society. At the Nov. 6 regular meeting, civic politicians approved a grant request of $5,000 for 2018. “It’s a marvelous service that is provided,” said Coun. Bruce McDonald, who put forward a motion for council to approve the grant request. “There are 65 people in Delta that
are being transported by volunteers to the cancer centre in Vancouver, so it is money well spent in my opinion.” Delta awarded a $5,000 grant in 2016 and 2017. The Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society was established in 2015 following the unexpected cancellation of a similar program offered by the Canadian Cancer Society. The society serves Delta, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, Mission, the Tri-Cities,

All about the timing for Christmas decorations
Living Matters
BARBARA GUNN
OK, folks, it’s time to ask the question. And no, I am not about to ask what defines true happiness, true freedom or true love. Nothing of the sort. My question is the really weighty one: When is it appropriate to put up Christmas décor? As I say: it’s weighty. It’s time to ponder, of course, this being midNovember and all. Never mind that the big-box stores jumped the holiday gun ages ago, and had the trees up and the wreaths hung when we were still in
shorts and sandals. But that’s par for the festive course. Before long, I reckon the goods will be out year round. Fancy some tinsel and mistletoe in April? The stores will be happy to oblige. Candy canes and fruitcake in August? No problem at all. But for the average Joe — that is, someone who does not own a bigbox store — the question remains: When is the timing right? I decided to ask the husband. “When should we put up the lights?” I asked. He thought for a moment. “When it isn’t raining,” he said. “That’s not what I mean,” I said. “I’m talking about the timing.” “Not too early,” he said. “And not too late. We’ll do it when the time is right.” He was of no help whatsoever. I consulted a workmate. “When do you put up your tree?” I asked.
“Suppose it’s artificial.” She thought for a moment. “Well,” she said, “you don’t want to put it up in October. On the other hand, you should allow for plenty of time to enjoy it.” She was also of no help — whatsoever. The question’s not easily answered. Here we are, in mid-November, and I’m starting to feel it — a bit, anyway. Heck, I’ve even bought a stuffer or two, and perused my recipes for shortbread. But no, I’m not inclined to turn on Jingle Bells quite yet. There are — what? — still 39 days until Santa comes, and although the big man is likely up to his whiskers in toy assembly right now, the tree can wait for a bit. I’ll hold off buying the turkey. I’ll wait to write the cards. Perhaps the husband’s correct after all. There’s no right time to hang the wreath, but we’ll know when the time is right.

2017 Delta Hospice Society Annual Appeal
End-of-life Care is Everybody’s Responsibility Dear Friends of Hospice, Hospice doesn’t cure a person’s disease, but it certainly can offer healing. This healing has been able to happen in a new way, with the opening of the Irene Thomas Hospice and the Harold & Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care in Ladner, seven years ago. Since that time, we have been able to offer patients and their families an unprecedented level of care - none of which would have been possible without the support of our local community partners and donors that believe in the relief of suffering in living, in dying and in grieving. The Society has been a symbol of hope and comfort over the years as it cares for people from the time of diagnosis of cancer or other life-threatening illness and follows families throughout their journey of illness, wellness, recurrence, end-of-life and bereavement.

Delta Hospice is one of 4 hospice societies in British Columbia that operates a hospice residence and it has a unique centre for supportive care to support people living at home. Being a small not-for-profit has allowed us to be true to our culture and values and continue to offer unparalleled care despite the cost, but it requires a commitment from our community to help us maintain this level of quality and care. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” Mother Theresa

ADVICE FROM THE PROS QUESTION:
QUESTION I keep hearing about ‘new hearing aid technology’, but how much can hearing aids have actually changed?
MY NEIGHBOR HAS RENTED THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO A BUNCH OF ROWDIES, WHAT CAN I DO?
ANSWER
ANSWER:
Like many other high-tech devices, hearing aids have experienced a major technological revolution in the past decade, and specifically in the last several years. The best of today’s hearing aids can do the following: • Have settings adjusted by the latest iPhone® or Android devices Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com
• Make listening in noisy environments easier and more comfortable with adaptive directional microphones
David Moore
• Virtually eliminate feedback • Stream stereo sound from TVs and other media players directly to the hearing aids themselves • Be used as hands-free Bluetooth devices These features are contained within hearing aids that are smaller (even invisible, in some cases) and more comfortable and powerful than those that have been available before.
Typically its the same old things: parties, dog barking, loud music, “other” loud noises, smoking, parking, and debris. Whether or not the neighbors are tenants or owners, any violation of local bylaws should be referred to the local authorities and the rental manager or owner. The offending party will be given a fine after a certain number of warnings, and that usually does the trick. Handling the matter yourself is usually not the best way to go about it, as it can quickly get unnecessarily personal.
We offer the latest technology available from all the major hearing aid brands and are available at any time to assist you. Call us at 604-943-0033 to book your free hearing consultation.

It is a group of symptoms resulting from physical, mental, and emotional stress that is a part of everyday life. It can include problems falling asleep and staying asleep, waking unrefreshed, poor Dr. Susan Steeves concentration and even increased cravings for sugar and salt! Low nutrient status, lack of exercise and poor diet confound BSc. Dietetics, this problem.

More potential homeowners are educating themselves regarding drain tile issues with older homes given the increase in flooded basements and crawlspaces. The lack of maintenance on drain tile systems is the contributing factor with flooding in homes during the rainy season. Having this information at time of purchase is important. The last thing you want to do is move in to your new home and have a drain tile issue or worse flood.
Q:
Motorizing your window coverings offers the ultimate in convenience and sophistication, and would surely make an impressive addition to your home or commercial space. They are ideal for all types of windows including family rooms, boardrooms, children’s rooms, high or out of reach windows, media rooms, and many more. There are many options when thinking of Motorization. One is a timer option, so you can program your shades to open and close at a preferred time of day. A sun sensor option can help manage heat gain in the summer months, and heat loss in winter. Both help with your energy bills. You can extend the life of your window shades by using motorization, as it eliminates the usual wear and tear that the blinds would see. Remote Control Shades offer a solution to out of reach windows, heavy, and over sized windows that are harder to manually operate. Eliminating the dangling cords also creates a safe environment for pets and children. Motorization can be added to most Roller and Solar Shades, Roman Shades, Cellular Shades, Woven Wood blinds and more! Call us today to book your FREE In-Home Consultation and let us help you with your Motorization needs! For the month on December, Receive 50% off Motorization Upgrade Options, and 30% off All Signature Series Products!
A video pipe inspection is done to assess the condition of the drain tile system. A report is put together identifying any possible problem areas in the drain tile system, Storm Sump or Storm sewer. This includes an estimate to repair or replace drain tile if required.
ANSWER: Our Sears store at Metrotown is now closed. I am now working at the Richmond store Monday through Saturday. As soon as the liquidators were appointed, we moved all our store from there to our Richmond store location. At this moment Richmond is the only store we are running. As you can understand, we are very well stocked with duplicate inventory.
Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp
We decided to run a large sale on Royal Canadian Mint product from now until Christmas. All RCM product from 2015 and older is now on sale for 25% off the lowest sale price we had it marked at. This is well below our cost, let alone Mint issue price. These prices are so low that I have Ebay sellers buying from us, to resell on Ebay. For people who want 2017 Mint product, we have a small sale at below the mint issue price on two items. The 2017 150th Anniversary of Canada silver dollar, issue price $59.95, sale price $55.95. The 2017 150th Anniversary of Canada silver proof set, issue price $234.95, sale price $219.95. Jim

Pedestrian safety!
FROM THE PROS QUESTION: ARE BIWEEKLY AND SEMI MONTHLY PAYMENTS THE SAME?
ANSWER: No … they are different and one can save you thousands! While the amount of the payments might be the same, a semi monthly payment frequency will be taken 2x a month (usually the 15th and the 30th) and really does not have anat interest savings to your mortgage. A bi-weekly payment is paid every 2 weeks and in the case of a 25 year amortization paying every 2 weeks san take up to 4 years off you mortgage. Many smart home owners will match their biweekly payments with their payroll dates ensuring that the funds are there come mortgage payment time!

First and foremost, you should be concerned about liability. Are you calling a reputable company? How long have they been in business? Do they have Liability Insurance? 2 million? 5 Million? How much? Do you have a copy on file? Are they registered with WCB? Are they in Good Standing with WCB? If so, have them provide you with a Clearance Letter. If they are touching your gas appliances, do they have a Gas Contractors License? And, if they are working on your boiler, do they have a Boiler Contractors License. Never assume. Ask for a copy. Do your due diligence. If you don’t, guess who’s on the hook when something goes wrong… YOU ARE.
A variety of vendors will be at Open Space Yoga’s annual shopping day coming up Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Shopping day for hospice
Don’t miss, Open Space Yoga’s 10th annual shopping day for Hospice on Saturday. Perfect timing to pick up a unique item or start shopping early for Christmas. This sale represents an annual community event in support of a very important local nonprofit organization, the Delta Hospice Society. Open Space Yoga is located at 4880 Delta Street in Ladner and the event runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to shop for items and services from unique retailers such as Sonja Picard Jewelry. This year local illustrator and top selling children’s book author, Ashley Spires will be launching
her new book Book or Bell? at the shopping day event. Book sales from Black Bond Books and book signings will be from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Twenty per cent of all sales will be donated to the Delta Hospice Society except for Potters for Hospice who will be donating 100 per cent of all pottery sold. Each year the Potters for Hospice receive rave reviews and sell out quickly. LARA cuisine will also be on hand offering baklava and coffee to visitors and Rose’s Shortbread will have their gift boxes ready. “The continuous support of Open Space Yoga is very reassuring to our
community organization,” said Hospice executive director Nancy Macey. “This annual shopping day provides a wonderful opportunity to purchase gifts for Christmas. We are very thankful to all the vendors and for Open Space Yoga hosting this beautiful event.” “As the previous owner of Open Space Yoga, I am thrilled that Gerry the new owner asked me to continue on with this annual fundraising event,” added Michael Rudd. “Hospice has been an important part of my life and it is great to see these vendors and Open Space Yoga continue to participate in giving back to our community.”

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q: Should we keep our home on the market over
Holidays can be a Pain in the Neck Holidays can be a pain in the neck if you relax too much. BC’s Chiropractic Doctors offer a few suggestions for holidays.
the holiday season?
• If you have to drive more than two hours to visit friends and relatives, take a break; get out of your vehicle and stretch. This temporarily restores normal posture.
A:
• When loading your vehicle for the trip, organize your luggage and packages into smaller loads, as opposed to one large suitcase, cardboard box or carrying case. • Wear your seatbelt. Adjust vehicle headrests so that they are no more than two inches behind the centre of the back of the head. Many victims suffer whiplash injuries as a result of improper positioning.
Dr. Sereena Uppal D.C.
• It’s OK to be a couch potato this weekend, but don’t slouch on the sofa and don’t fall asleep on the recliner, as two or three vertebrae in the spine can assume a sharp angle. When you sit up, the normal movement isn’t restored and patients walk in with their heads sideways, because by slouching, the position of the joints irritates the nerves and blood vessels, causing muscle spasm. • Avoid bending directly over the oven door to lift out the turkey. Crouch down, pull out the oven shelf, and use your legs for better balance. Avoid putting all the leverage on the lower spine.

TIME AND TIME AGAIN I HEAR, I WOULD LOVE TO DO WHAT YOU DO!
What is the difference between Power of Attorney and Health Representative?

If your goal is to sell, then Yes! Buyers looking at homes in this weather and at this time of year, are clearly very serious! The market is slower compared to this time last year and buyers have been more hesitant to pull the trigger on a purchase with the uncertainty of the market in the future. However, history has shown that people continue to buy and sell and there will be pent up demand whenever there is a slowdown in activity from normal levels. Our experience has shown this: many people give up throughout the winter and plan to put their homes on the market in the New Year or in the Spring. Inventory levels will drop and the active listings will have much less competition. If you take your home off the market, you have no chance of selling it! The savvy seller that stays on through the holidays and into the New Year usually catches the buyer before the rest of the homes hit the market. If you have guests over for the season, we can always create a flexible showing schedule to work around your holiday plans. If you plan to travel during this time, we can continue to show your home as normal and also keep an eye on your property during your absence. In the event of an offer, our team’s access to innovative software technology allows you to digitally sign the required paperwork to successfully sell your home from abroad.

A basic Power of Attorney (POA) is a document which appoints a specific person(s) who is/are authorized by a capable adult to representative them to make financial, business and/or property decisions on their behalf. Capability of the appointer can be determined by their doctor. Powers can include paying bills, selling real estate, banking, plus some health-related decisions but does NOT include advanced care decisions. HoneyDo will ask about existing POA agreements to ensure compliance with your wishes.

A standard Health Representation Agreement is basically a document in which a capable adult appoints a representative to make decisions for personal care and some health care treatments on their behalf. There are two types: one which excludes the rep from making decisions about refusal of life support and/or life-prolonging measures, the other includes life-prolonging decision making.

HoneyDo encourages you to discuss your wishes with your family, close friends and doctor, as well, to seek legal advice to determine which representation is right for your situation.

Q: Medical Records from your Medical Treatment Providers in an ICBC Case
Rauni Malhi Paralegal
A: A large majority of medical treatment providers (including doctors, physiotherapists, massage therapists or chiropractors) keep notes of each visit you make to them, regardless whether it is before or after an accident. Those notes are called clinical records. There is a huge variation between doctors and therapists in our province in their ability to record accurate and comprehensive clinical notes. This leaves you at the mercy of the doctor or therapist as to whether they are accurately recording what you tell them and the level of detail they put into their notes. ICBC spends a great deal of effort in getting all of the clinical records from your treating medical professionals that you may have seen both before, and after the accident. ICBC will go through all the notes and records with extreme care to find inconsistencies, lack of reporting, and any other information they can use to minimize your claim. While you have little control over whether your treatment providers are good note-takers, you should give them the opportunity to take your complaints by being as accurate and detail orientated as possible in your self-reporting of symptoms and ailments. It is safe to move forward on the basis that whatever you tell your doctor or other treatment providers, it will show up in your clinical records and ICBC will at some point see it. Your medical treatment providers have a duty to make sure that everything significant is recorded in your clinical records. While you do not want to embellish your symptoms, you also want to make sure you do not down play your pain and discomfort.

Annual shredding fundraiser supports Reach
South Delta Financial Group | Raymond James and Re/Max Pro Group Realty partnered to bring the third annual fall Ladner shredding event to benefit Reach Child and Youth Development Society recently. Despite the inclement weather, intrepid local residents came out to Raymond James parking lot and took advantage of this great service.

again this year, as part of Raymond James Cares Month, making a $6,787 total. Reach Society executive director Renie D’Aquila expressed heartfelt gratitude to organizers Eleanor Calderwood, Zahir Dossa and Vicki Chatterley at South Delta Financial Group and Bob Cooke at Re/Max Pro Group for their tremendous support to children with needs. “Who knew we could have freezing temperatures and a bit of snow at the beginning of November?,” said Calderwood. “We all had fun though and want to thank everyone in the community that made the trek in the cold and con-

Pacers roll into Valley playoffs
Province’s fourth ranked team looking to thrive on home floor this week MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
If a friendly match between a pair of crosstown rivals is any indication, this week’s Fraser Valley Boys AAA Volleyball Championships in Ladner should be a thrilling ride. The Delta Pacers and Seaquam Seahawks squared off in one final tune-up before the Valleys in a special exhibition match that was part of the Delta Cup senior girls tournament at Delta Secondary. The host Pacers prevailed in a three-set thriller that included a wild 31-29 second game. Both teams seemed to be fuelled by a packed house in the old gym at DSS. Now both head to the 12-team tournament ranked fourth and ninth in the province respectively. “I don’t know if we were expecting it to be that energetic,” smiled Delta head coach Carson Kauenhowen. “It was a pretty fun environment to be playing in for an exhibition game. In the bigger games coming up there will be noise and there will be distractions when we need to be on top of our game. This should help.” The Pacers have been playing their best volleyball of the season in the past few weeks — earning their highest ranking of the campaign and the No. 2 seed for the Valleys. They faced the winner of Fraser Heights/Maple Ridge last night. A victory would send them to the quarter-finals on Wednesday (8 p.m.). Kauenhowen will only say he is cautiously optimistic — well aware of what happened a year ago when Delta was also one of the top seeds but stumbled and never recovered. “Volleyball is a momentum game. I felt we were riding it last year then we weren’t,” he added. “We are just taking it one game at a time right now. The challenge I said to the guys is no matter who is on the side of the floor we have to take care of business.” The championship match will take place at Earl Marriott on Thursday — home to the No. 2 ranked Mariners. Delta has played the South Surrey school very tough — dropping a pair of close matches at a tournament in Kamloops and at the league playoff seeding tournament. At the net… • The South Delta Sun Devils have been seeded fifth for the Fraser Valley AAAA Girls Championships which started on Tuesday in Mission. The Devils will take on 12th

Dramatic win sends JV Sun Devils to quarter-finals MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
A dramatic fourth quarter comeback is taking the South Delta Sun Devils junior varsity football team’s inaugural season to the provincial quarter-finals. The Sun Devils produced a pair of majors in the late going to upset the St. Thomas More Knights 14-10. They will now face the Notre Dame Jugglers on Thursday in Burnaby. As a first-year team, South Delta was eased into the “AAA” junior varsity schedule by being placed in the Coastal “AAA” Conference. A 4-1 record gave the Devils first place honours but the playoffs, that now included established JV programs, was expected to be a much greater challenge. The Knights opened up a 10-0 first half lead
and nursed into the late going when the Devils came to life with thanks to a little input from the players. Quarterback Ben McDonald hooked up with Evan Paterson on a long touchdown pass and South Delta had life. “Ben and Evan saw how their corner was over committing. Sure enough, he bit on the hitch pass when Ben pumped it and Evan went deep,” said head coach Ray Moon. Now within a field goal, STM drove down to the Devils’ 35-yard-line before turning the ball over on downs. With a 1:50 remaining and in a hurry-up offence, South Delta marched into Knights territory before turning to some trickery for the winning score. McDonald hit Luke Thodos on a curl route and he immediately lateraled to Rhys Porteous
who raced to the end zone. The hook and ladder play covered 35 yards. It was another courageous performance by a Devils team that typically dresses no more than 16 players and features what Moon describes as “six core athletes.” McDonald was coming off an injury and saw limited action — sharing the quarterback duties with Hunter Norman. “STM had some big lineman and a size advantage but our kids just stuck their nose in there and never quit,” added Moon. The team also includes: Ethan Troniak, Spencer Yesowick, Adam Hoegg, Bennett Stoilen, Jackson Bailie, Aiden White, Stig Aronsson, Waylon Andersen, Brett Hauser, Marius Niveri, Youssef Sheta, Skyler Welch, Cailean Ouellette, Nathaniel De La Rosa and Jack Wardell.

Naylor joins BCHL’s Clippers but staying in Hawks’ nest MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s r.co m
Darren Naylor is staying in the Delta Ice Hawks nest. The reigning Pacific Junior Hockey League coach-of-the-year has been named director of hockey operations of the B.C. Hockey League’s Nanaimo Clippers. The announcement came after the BCHL franchise was purchased by former Ice Hawks owner Wes Mussio. Naylor told the Optimist Friday he will continue his duties with the Ice Hawks for the balance of the season. He is also the club’s general manager.
Delta owns a league best 18-10-0 record — its best start in franchise history. “This maybe junior ‘B’ but we have something special here and I am not going anywhere,” said Naylor. “I am really close to all of the guys and we are all in this together. “The thing is the Ice Hawks are really not taking up that much of my time. Besides practices and games, it’s almost self-running. I’m not evaluating or looking for players.” His appointment to the Clippers comes as no surprise given his close relationship with Mussio. It’s the reason he ended
up with the Ice Hawks in the first place. Mussio eventually sold the Ice Hawks to current owner Eduard Ephstein as he continued his pursuit of purchasing a BCHL team. “This is something we have been working on for the last couple of years,” said Naylor. “It’s actually come full circle as Nanaimo was one of the first groups Wes talked to.” Mussio is committed to keeping the franchise in Nanaimo. “I’m here to ensure the Clippers remain a valuable part of Nanaimo for years to come,” he said. “I’ve always been heavily involved in hockey and I wanted
to move up to the BC Hockey League level. “I remain committed to hockey in B.C. I want to build a competitive team like Delta was and is, that’s a team I built.” Naylor will be busy in the months ahead. His task now is taking a close look at the hockey side of the Clippers’ operation while potentially guiding the Ice Hawks on a deep playoff run. “Basically I am going to be evaluating everything. From the on ice talent right down to the team bus driver,” added Naylor. The Aldergrove resident took over the Ice Hawks coaching duties late in the 2015-16 season.

He promptly guided the club to an opening round playoff upset of the first place North Vancouver Wolf Pack. Delta bowed out in six games to Grandview in the conference final. Naylor’s impact carried over into the 2016-17 campaign with the Hawks capturing Tom Shaw Conference regular season honours for the first time in over a decade with a 31-12-0-1 record and reaching the PJHL final. Now the club is on a blistering pace with 10 rookies in its lineup. Naylor’s 17-year-old son Jordan, a former B.C. U16 member, is the team’s No. 1 goaltender.

Thank You!
To everyone who helped us raise over $455,000 (NET) at this year’s Moonlight Gala. These funds will go towards the Emergency Department at Delta Hospital, including purchasing a new mobile ultrasound and two lifepack defibrillators. Together we are building a brighter future for healthcare in Delta.
