While B.C.’s new liquor lawsmay seem like a boon to manyconsumers — happy hour dealsand wine sold in grocery stores —it’s also spelling the end of someaspects of the industry.One casualty of the new

regulations is Mud Bay Wines inTsawwassen. After 12 years in

business, the store is closing atthe end of the month.It was one of 20 B.C. VQA-

certified wine stores in the prov-ince and had a loyal local cus-tomer base. However, the ownerssold the rights to its licence,which is controlled by the B.C.Wine Institute, to a large grocerystore chain.Of the 22 licences in the prov-

ince, two were already inactive,

said store manager Kim Briscoe,and three other stores in the prov-ince have also sold the right totheir licences.Briscoe, who has been with the

store since the beginning, said thechange in government liquor storehours has had the biggest impacton business.On April 1, B.C. liquor stores

introduced new hours that haveseen stores open longer during the

week and on Saturdays, as well asopening on Sundays and holidays.“Sales are definitely down,”

Briscoe said, adding the store washaving a good year but noticed amarked difference after April 1.On Good Friday, the first

holiday after the new hours wereintroduced, sales were down 40per cent over the previous year.

Two Delta police offic-ers will be trading theiruniforms and police cruis-ers for spandex and bikehelmets over the next twoweeks, all in the name ofraising money and aware-ness for childhood cancer.A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow

and Const. Dave Ogilvy aretaking part in this year’sCops for Cancer Tour deValley ride.Ogilvy, who has taken

part in the annual initia-tive for the past decade, isserving as this year’s teamcaptain and Swallow, whorode for the first time lastyear, has returned as theteam trainer.Cops for Cancer is an

annual campaign that raisesfunds for the CanadianCancer Society while alsospreading awareness aboutcancer prevention. Thereare four separate ridesthroughout the province— Tour de Valley, Tourde Coast, Tour de Rock(Vancouver Island) andTour de North (northernB.C.).The money raised goes

to the Canadian CancerSociety specifically to pedi-atric cancer research andprograms that support chil-dren living with cancer and

their families.Swallow, who has been

with the department forseveral years, said takingpart in Cops for Cancer wassomething she wanted to dosince she began her careerin policing.“If I’m able to, how can I

not be involved?” she said,adding she has been blessedwith a healthy son.“I look at him and I

couldn’t imagine what thesefamilies go through.”

This year’s ride startstomorrow in Abbotsford,kicking off a nine-day,900-kilometre epic journey.The ride takes the teamfrom the Lower Mainlandto Boston Bar and back,with stops at 40 schoolsalong the way.The tour will make its

way through South Delta onOct. 1, with stops at severallocal schools as well asDelta police headquarters inLadner.

In the weeks and monthsbefore the tour begins, theriders must not only focuson raising money for thecause but also get physical-ly ready to spend nine daysriding around the FraserValley.As team trainer, Swallow

had the additional challengeof organizing all the train-ing rides.To take part in the ride,

each rider must raise atleast $5,000.

“It’s amazing to me, justthe community support weget here,” Swallow said,adding that at public events,such as the annual pole-sit in Tsawwassen everyAugust, residents come outand donate thousands.Follow the ride on

Twitter at @tourdevalley oron Facebook at www.face-book.com/copstourdevalley.For more information or

to make a donation, visithttp://copsforcancerbc.ca.

The store announced lastmonth that it would be clos-ing its doors as of Sept. 30.“People are very upset,”

Briscoe said.“Our customers have

become our friends,” shesaid. “We know about theirlives, their kids, their trav-

els… It’s a part of the com-munity being lost.”Long-time customer

Dawn Van Zant said theloss will be felt in the com-munity.“It is much different

entering the Mud Bay Winestore than the local liquor

store,” she said. “Kimknows us and knows whatwe like — we know herpersonally, we share storiesand there is a communityrelationship… Small busi-ness is the heart of theeconomy and the heartof the community. We donot build friendships withchains.”Under the new regula-

tions, the province will notissue any more retail winelicences until 2022, closingthe doors on the chance forsomeone else to step in andtake over the space.“Small wineries will be

impacted by these changesand the resulting pricingchanges so the only realwinners will be the bigwineries… and the grocery

chains,” she said.“Yes, we may get cheap-

er wine as a result but theselection will be forcedupon us instead of someonelike Kim finding a smallboutique winery off theroad knowing how some ofher customers will just loveit,” Van Zant said. “Wine isa personal thing, it can’t betreated like canned peas.”

Delta hasn’t come outwith a position on the con-troversial plan to build ajet fuel storage tank farmalong the Fraser River, butcomments by the mayor atlast week’s Delta councilmeeting seemed to indicatewhich way the municipalityis leaning.“I have to continue to

say that from the outsetthat Delta has 35 roundtrips of very large tankersgoing down our freewayand I would be very happyand do support the elimina-tion of those trucks goingthrough the North Deltaarea,” Lois Jackson said atthe Sept. 14 meeting.The mayor was the

only council member to

comment on a staff reportupdating the civic politi-cians on the planned $93million fuel delivery systemto Vancouver InternationalAirport.Owned by a consortium

of airlines that use YVR,the Vancouver AirportFuel Facilities Corporation(VAFFC) wants to ship jetfuel up the Fraser River toa tank farm that would bebuilt on an industrial site onthe Richmond side on thesouth arm of the river. Anunderground pipeline wouldthen send the fuel to theairport.In December 2013, the

province announced that aconditional environmen-tal assessment certificatewould be issued. Thedecision was made aftera review led by the B.C.

Environmental AssessmentOffice.The project has faced

heated opposition fromthe City of Richmond andmany residents there, whilesome in Delta have also

voiced concerns.Challenging the fuel

corporation and Port MetroVancouver’s public consul-tation process, VancouverAirport Project Oppositionfor Richmond (VAPOR)

sought a judicial review, butlost that case in courts ear-lier this year.The latest Delta staff

report noted the application,which must still undergopermitting processes andreviews by other agencies,includes a commitmentto review the final spillresponse plan with Deltaand prepare and implementa fire safety plan in con-sultation with the local firedepartment.According to the propo-

nent, the project’s benefitsinclude removing 1,000tanker trucks per monthfrom B.C.’s roads, therebyeliminating the existingrisks of fuel spills fromthose trucks.A previous Delta staff

report noted the existingpipeline meets approxi-mately 80 per cent of theaviation fuel demand atYVR. The remainder isdelivered by up to 35tanker truck round tripsper day that travel throughDelta. Current growth infuel demand is being metby increasing those tankertruck deliveries.Delta’s environment

committee had already

noted “the benefit ofremoving the existing jetfuel tanker trucks fromDelta’s highways that willresult from this project andthe associated reductionin risk to the citizens andenvironment.”Although Delta hasn’t

come out with a positionopposing the project, unlikeRichmond, the municipalityhas conveyed a number ofconcerns, including askingthat a spill preparednessand response plan be com-pleted. Delta also submittedthat it does not have theresponsibility or capacityto respond to spills or firesresulting from the project.The fuel corporation

held an open house lastThursday in Richmond,a session VAPOR’s OttoLanger urged citizens toattend to send the message“that the transport of suchhighly toxic and flammableproducts into the FraserRiver and its storage onthe banks of the river neara high density housing andrecreational complex is ahigh risk for the river, itswildlife and fisheries, andthe people and property ofRichmond and Delta.”

As you might be aware,Port Metro Vancouver isa self-sufficient federalagency with a mandate tofacilitate Canada’s trade.In carrying out this

responsibility, the port hasgradually expanded itsfacilities at Roberts Bank— from a single coal ter-minal in the early 1970s tothe largest container port inCanada.Port Metro Vancouver’s

latest initiative — theRoberts Bank Terminal 2proposal (T2) — involvesthe construction of an addi-tional three-berth containerterminal next to the existingterminal in Delta.As with other significant

infrastructure projects,the federal and provincialgovernments require anenvironmental review forT2. The goal? To assess theimpacts that a new terminalmay have on the surround-ing environment, and —once assessed — proposeways to reduce or compen-sate for these impacts.

In the case of T2, theproject has been referredto an independent reviewpanel, which will be madeup of experts appointed bythe federal minister of envi-ronment. Over the course

of 14 months, the panel willhold hearings for interestedparties to express their con-cerns.Locally, we each have

the chance to participatein these next stages. That

being said — as with mostevidence-based processes— our contributions maybe somewhat limited byour access to professionalopinion.By design, environmental

assessments are fairly tech-nical. To allow for effectivemeasurement — of both thepossible impacts and thesuggested remedies — theprocess relies on scientificstudies and experts.For instance, many of us

have heard of eelgrass, andmay be generally aware thatit plays a role in a healthymarine ecosystem. To eval-uate the impacts from T2requires a detailed investi-gation to assess — amongother things — how its pro-ductivity may be affected(and sustained) by a newterminal footprint, alteredwater quality or changes insediment erosion.This is a specialized

assessment, to be sure,which — at a minimum —offers us a chance to learnalongside the panel. To thisend, the Port CommunityLiaison Committee (PCLC)hopes to connect thisimportant process to thediverse group of stakehold-ers we represent — includ-ing residents, farmers,industry and local govern-ment.Given T2’s scale of

impact and opportunity— gradually doubling theamount of container tradeand traffic — the PCLCalso hopes to discuss andcommunicate key opera-tional aspects of T2 thatmight not fall within thedefined scope of the envi-ronmental review.Topics could include

transportation, which —while assessed by thepanel in terms of air qual-ity, noise, and vibration— would benefit from aparallel discussion aboutregional land use or trafficflow. A similar dialoguecould occur for local jobsand business services.The PCLC would like to

continue hearing about yourinterests or concerns relat-ing to T2 and other portrelated matters. If you haveany feedback, let us knowat [email protected] PCLC is a group of

16 community, governmentand business representa-tives that meet regularly toshare information, discussand resolve concerns relat-ed to port operations.

For the sixth year run-ning, the Guichon grand-kids set up a roadside standto sell corn and potatoes insupport of Delta Hospital.This year the stand was

held in late August at theBack Roads Family FarmMarket run by Danielle andAlicia Guichon. Despitethe stormy conditions thatcaused havoc throughoutmuch of B.C. over thatweekend, they were ableto raise a record $4,730,bringing their fundraisingtotal to over $19,000 since2010.“We love bringing our

cousins together in memoryof our grandma, LorraineGuichon, who receivedsuch amazing and heartfeltcare at Delta Hospital,”

says Alicia Guichon. “It’s away for us all to catch up,while giving back to thecommunity that we love.“Throughout the day

we had a number of peo-ple stop by and sharewith us their own storiesof the wonderful carethey had experienced atDelta Hospital, which justreinforced for us why wechoose to support our hos-pital.”This year, the Guichon

grandkids also gave cus-tomers a free cob of cornfor every cob purchased,their way of thanking thosewho support Delta farmers.“The show of support

for our hospital and theGuichon grandkids’ fund-raiser was amazing, given

the windy conditions,power outages and rain thataffected so many Delta resi-dents that weekend,” saysVeronica Carroll, execu-tive director of the DeltaHospital Foundation.“We are so honoured that

this group of young cousinsgo to the effort every yearof fundraising for our hos-pital — and have so muchfun doing it.”Funds raised will go

towards supporting theDelta Hospital expan-sion project that will seethe medical imaging andlaboratory departmentsdouble in size. The DeltaHospital Foundation is only$700,000 away from raisingthe $12.5 million needed tocomplete the project.

MURPHY’SLAW

They weren’t leading us astray afterall.When Metro Vancouver implemented

a complete ban on lawn sprinkling duringthose reservoir-dwindling days of July,we were told not to worry if our lawnswent brown. Yes, the grass was aboutto get crunchy under foot, but once theinevitable rains returned in the fall, eve-rything would be lush again, or at leastthat was promise from those curtailingour sprinkler use.As expected, the watering restrictions

turned my back yard into straw, althoughthe shade offered by landscaping on theperimeter and by the house resulted ina ring of green, creating a kind of malepattern baldness effect. As is the casewith a thinning head of hair, however,the eyes tend to gravitate to what’s miss-ing.Sadly, the only thing that would grow

in the wasteland were dandelions andother weeds, which were amazingly tol-erant to the lack of moisture.Now that we’ve experienced several

late summer downpours, the Rogaine isdefinitely taking hold, particularly in theback yard where brown is steadily giv-ing way to green, to the point where thelawnmower is back in action. There’sstill a significant bald patch, but it’s get-ting smaller with every passing day andshould disappear entirely soon enough.Given the transformation from drought

stricken to rain forest will be relativelyquick and painless, I wonder what thefuture will hold in terms of summerwater restrictions. The TransLink plebi-scite told us to expect another millionpeople in the Lower Mainland over thenext 25 years, growth that will furtherstrain our water supply.Do we undertake costly improvements

to the system to accommodate thesenewcomers or do we try to stretch theexisting resources as far as they can pos-sibly go? Something tells me we couldbe leaning toward the latter. It’s certainlythe less expensive of the two options.Although, as Steve Graham ably point-

ed out on this page a couple of weeksback, a major source of fresh water flowsright through the middle of our region toaddress any shortages, it wouldn’t sur-prise me if rationing is the route MetroVancouver chooses to follow.If we can survive one of the dri-

est stretches on record in the LowerMainland, a similar kind of hose tighten-ing on a regular basis could allow theexisting infrastructure to be stretched toserve even more people.Brown could soon become the new

norm, with a promise that green is only afew showers away.

I find election campaigns veryfrustrating. People are very pas-sionate about their politics andtheir views, which is good, but Ifind sometimes opinion gets in theway of facts and results. There aremany things that sound good onthe surface, but in reality aren’tgood at all. A little research andunderstanding the outcome of thosedecisions goes a long way.Here’s an example: There is a

small activity you can do that givesyou instant relaxation. Some peo-ple think it makes you look cool orpowerful as well. As a side benefit,it will suppress your appetite andyou’ll lose weight. This soundsgreat! What is it as I could stand tolose a few pounds?The activity is smoking. And

it kills you. Great idea, lousyoutcome. If I want to lose a fewpounds, I’ll opt for something thatactually works, like jogging. Not aseasy, but a much better result.These are the things that politi-

cians rely on — I’ll tell you some-thing that sounds great to getelected, but once I implement itthe result might not be so good.There was a promise in a previouselection to reduce interest rates oncredit cards. If you are carrying abalance on your card, this soundspretty good.The problem is, if you force the

banks to lower rates, they won’tbe willing to give a credit card tosomeone they see as a risk — likethe person carrying a balance ontheir credit card. The higher rate ismotivation to keep the balance low.The outcome? Some people whohad credit cards won’t qualify forone any more. Bad result for them,even if the intention was good.All of the promises we get from

politicians come with a price tag.The call for more money alwayscomes with a call to raise taxes —on someone else. A recent Nanospoll asked people how to raise rev-enue for government. Thirty-eightper cent said increase taxes onthe top one per cent, while 25 percent said increase corporate taxes.Sounds like a good idea, but whatis the result?Numerous studies show that

raising corporate income taxesnegatively impacts economicgrowth. Yikes, that doesn’t soundgood, especially considering bothB.C. and the federal government

reported more income than plannedlast year with lower corporate taxrates. Lower taxes, more income,better result.So let’s tax the one per cent

folks instead! They need to domore! Except they already do morethan their share already.For the 2013 tax year in B.C.,

people making over $250,000 rep-resented 0.75 per cent of the popu-lation, earned 10 per cent of theincome and paid 20 per cent of thetotal tax bill.And like anyone else, they will

look for ways to save paying theincrease.Want proof? People will drive

a long way to save even two centsa litre on fuel. There are five gasstations in Point Roberts and threein Tsawwassen. Last time I looked,there weren’t enough people inPoint Roberts to support two gasstations, let alone five.What sounds great on paper, or

in a promise, might not be whatyou hoped for. I don’t believe intelling anyone how they shouldvote, all I ask anyone is think pastthe promise and consider the out-come. The result affects us all.Brad Sherwin, MBA has over

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Sign of the times

for Harper, Murphy’s Law,Sept. 16, and Schedule notthat crowded, Murphy’s

Law, Sept. 18Your editorial of Sept. 16

suggests the Conservativesare engaged in an ironic“downplaying of the primeminister” by eliminatingStephen Harper’s namefrom Conservative elec-tion signs. Your editorialof Sept. 18 suggests DeltaConservative candidateKerry-Lynne Findlay avoidsall-candidates forums toavoid tough questions. Aletter to the editor in thesame edition wrongly sug-gests Findlay “is obviouslycomplying with the primeminister’s gag order.”

Your suggestion theConservatives want toavoid references to Harperis contradicted by the factthe Conservatives arrangedfor Harper to personallyattend in Delta on at leasttwo occasions during thecurrent campaign at vis-ible rallies to supportFindlay. Similarly, he hastraveled the country toappear with and boost otherConservative candidates.The Conservative signs

appearing in the presentcampaign are the same asin the previous campaignin not mentioning Harper’sname. This is consistentwith a school of thoughtin advertising that the lesswords on a campaign sign,the more of a visual impact

it will make in emphasizingthe local candidate’s nameat the grassroots level.The suggestion that

Findlay avoids publicdebate forums is contradict-ed by the fact she is sched-uled to participate in twoall-candidates debates host-ed by the Delta Chamberof Commerce, the first atNorth Delta Secondaryat 7 p.m. on Sept. 30 andthe second at South DeltaSecondary on Oct. 7 at 7p.m. These were scheduledprior to the all-candidatesdebate hosted by CitizensAgainst Port Expansion.Hopefully the foregoing

provides some balance tothe views expressed in youreditorial pages.

Editor:Re: This senior thinks

Delta does whole lot forolder residents, Community

Comment, Sept. 16I feel compelled to

respond to Tom Siba’scolumn on Delta’s seniorsdoing just fine. He says,“No need to provide specialconsideration for seniors.”This may be true if you

have been a homeowner fora long time, have no mort-gage or other debts, and arecognitively sound. Siba’sassumption appears to bethat we are fortunate here inDelta because of the equitywe are sitting on and theones who are not can access

services that are availableuniversally.I beg to differ. Twenty

per cent of seniors in B.C.are renters and 22 percent still have mortgages.Delta’s 60+ populationis approximately 25,000.That means around 5,000of our seniors are renters.Even if you own, sellingyour larger home to gosmaller does not get youmuch bang for your buckbecause the smaller home(condo) in South Delta hasalso become expensive andincludes ever-increasingstrata fees.A big issue in South

Delta is that we do not

have enough one-bedroomapartments available torent. Also the rents are sohigh the SAFER grant fromB.C. Housing is no longerenough to bridge the gapfor lower-income seniors.I believe our municipal

government could do moretoward facilitating afford-able housing. The City ofRichmond partnered withthe Kiwanis Society and adeveloper to build 296 one-bedroom affordable seniorsrental apartments acrossfrom the Richmond mall.It’s impressive.If they can do it, why

can’t we?MLBurke

More rentals needed for seniors

Editor:Re: Casino to fill mall

space, letter to the editor,Sept. 16

On Sept. 10 there wasa Business News NetworkMorning Newsletter aboutLululemon Athletica report-ing impressive growth inonline sales of 30 per centin the latest quarter. Thiswas followed the next dayby another report concern-ing Reitmans in which it

was stated that in the dif-ficult environment of retailclothing and in particularladies wear, Reitmansreported that online salesare up by 70 per cent.It would be expected the

clientele for Lululemonis more adept at orderingonline, but surprisingly theolder clientele of Reitmansis showing it is also adeptat ordering online.Companies like these

are going to give seriousconsideration whether theyneed to have a presence inmalls, be they establishedmalls or malls in the devel-opment/construction phase.How many more “fashion”stores are experiencing thesame increases in onlinesales and how many ofthem are going to cut costsby not having as much“mall” presence?

Editor:I am writing this letter to

reach out to all the residentsthat live in my farmingcommunity. Are you awareof all the changes goingon in our town? With theexplosive development ofour community, are youaware of the end stageresults and what our townwill be?I have lived in Ladner

most of my life. I love thecountryside, the farmingcommunity, the small townfeel and our events thatmake us who we are. Thehay rides, the Christmastree lighting, the marketsand all the other events thatwe host make us a smalltown community.

I can see nature as itshould be, the swans andtheir babies, the eagles andtheir babies.We had an owl that lived

in the trees in our backyard. He is missing. Awhile ago an owl was foundshot in a neighbour’s backyard. A red-tailed hawkrecently died as a result ofpoisoning. To me, these areall signs, at a micro level,of the death of our com-munity.People moving from the

city to the country, do younot realize this is a fish-ing/farming community?Do you have to call policewhen you see unleashedanimals on farmland orhorses walking on the

road? What did you expectwhen you moved here, norodents, no wildlife?There are other ways to

keep unwanted critters outof your homes besides ratpoison. Did you think ofour ecosystem and all thatwould be affected?I have read in another

community newspaper ourtown referred to as “littleRichmond” and that is whyI am asking you, as fellowresidents, is this what youwant?I know I have been to

community meetings and Ihear other voices express-ing the same concerns. Arewe a dying community orare we not being heard? Asthe changes occur, things

cannot go back to the wayit was.I have heard from other

small communities thathave rallied in support ofkeeping what they have andhave been able to maintainthe way their town grows.It is hard work but it can bedone.This is where I ask you,

as fellow residents, whatdo you want? I would liketo know if there are otherswho oppose what is hap-pening or do I stand alone?Please express yourselves,let your voices be heard.Take a moment to reflectand write about our future,our children’s future andour community’s future.

Editor:Re: Bayside members

rally in effort to save club,Sept. 16

I can imagine howdisappointed the mem-bers of Bayside were atthe poor turnout for theirrally to save the squashclub. However, theycouldn’t possibly finda location further fromNorth Delta if theytried. The present locationis the first building afterthe U.S. border and as farfrom 56th Street as pos-sible.Why not relocate in

one of the two, soon-to-be-opened mega mallsright on the freeway at the

Tsawwassen First Nation?I would be happy to seemy municipal taxes go tofinance this or even builda new one on a piece ofless expensive land, or asan extension to an existingrecreational centre.I would not be happy to

have my taxes go to pur-chasing the present loca-tion at the asking price of$2.5 million and then haveto spend the $1 millionmunicipal staff say wouldbe required to bring it upto code.Let’s have this resolved

as soon as possible, so themembers can get back toplaying squash.

Editor:The recent report by the

province’s seniors advocatetitled Caregivers in Distresshas brought much mediaattention to the plight offamily caregivers in B.C.It recognizes the large

number of family memberstrying to care for a lovedone while balancing thedemands of other fam-ily members, work andsometimes their own healthproblems.The report found that

many caregivers are una-ware of the services and

support available in thecommunity and often don’tbegin to look for it untilthey are overwhelmedand exhausted. With thisin mind, we would like toinform the caregivers inSouth Delta of our uniquevolunteer organization, theSouth Delta Caregivers’Network.We offer an education

and support group twice ayear for family caregiversand an ongoing monthlydrop-in support group. Wehope that caregivers cometo us early in their “caregiv-

ing journey” so they canprepare themselves for thechallenges ahead. Help isavailable.Our next education series

and support group will startWednesday, Oct. 7. It willrun from 1 to 3 p.m. once aweek for eight weeks. Thecost is $50.To register, call the

Centre for Supportive Careat 604-948-0660.

Editor:Re: Schedule not that

crowded, Murphy’s Law,Sept. 18

I have been involved inpolitics since 1986 at themunicipal, provincial andfederal levels. I have beenon both sides of the fencein both asking and answer-ing questions at these all-candidates meetings.One thing I learned very

early on is that an all-candi-dates meeting has only onepurpose and that purpose isto embarrass and attack theincumbent no matter whohe or she is and regardlessof political stripe.In the all-candidates

meetings I attended, I neveronce met a truly undecidedvoter except at municipalall-candidates meetings.Those that attend these

things are all partisan sowhy would Kerry-LynneFindlay completely wasteher time by attending?Be honest with your-

self and which would youchoose: to attend a func-tion at which you at leaststand a chance of pickingup some votes or one whichyou have zero chance ofpicking up any votes?

Editor:Re: Hunting competitionat final stage, Sept. 18In the wild, predators kill

the weak and sick membersof a population, therebyensuring the survivalof a healthy gene pool.Historically, hunting was away of life for people whodepended on animals toprovide food, clothing andshelter and no more animals

were taken than needed.Fast forward to the pre-

sent, hunting has becomeless of a necessity and moreof a glamorized, money-making industry.I totally support women

who participate in outdoorsports, challenges, andwho set goals and achievethem, but not at the expenseof injuring and harminganimals. The animals used

in this competition werebred on a ranch where theyspend their lives beinghunted with no chance ofescape.Hunting is an act of

violence for the purposeof killing and should notbe promoted as entertain-ment. Let’s leave huntingwhere it belongs, in theDark Ages.

The Tsawwassen First Nation’s transforma-tion is well underway.Six years after its historic urban treaty wasratified, other Lower Mainland municipali-ties, including neighbouring Delta, are wit-ness to several major development projectsat the 725-hectare (over 1,800-acre) FirstNation, moving it closer to becoming a realeconomic powerhouse in the region.“The new projects that we’re building, part-nerships that were forging,are developing new sourcesof revenue, and buildingnew infrastructure and willcreate many new jobs,”says Chief Bryce Williams.“Most importantly, theseprojects promise a bright fu-ture for our children and ourchildren’s children. The opportunities they’llhave to live and work and learn on Tsawwas-sen lands is the reason we’re undertakingthis work. It’s really cool to be here at thismoment in time and establish what needsto be in place for our children and theirfuture,” Williams says.Although they’ve been making most of thenews coming out of the busy Tsawwassenlands lately, it’s not all just about Tsawwas-sen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons, themega shopping malls now under con-struction. Having a combined size rivalingBurnaby’s Metrotown, the two centres areset to change the face of Lower Mainlandretail when they open next fall.Next door, construction is steadily underwayon housing developments that will eventuallysee over 2,200 new homes.Having already sold out its first couple of

phases, Aquilini Development’s TsawwassenShores, a partnership with the fee simpleproperty holders, is a development thatwill comprise 850 of those units, which willinclude single-family homes, townhomesand condos.The number of TFN members living onTsawwassen lands, which is no longerreferred to as “a reserve,” stands at around200. That’s roughly half the total TFN mem-

bership, with the other halfliving elsewhere.Metro Vancouver’s long-termregional growth strategy fore-casts the overall populationto grow to more than 8,500people. The new housing, bythe way, will include units forTFN members.

Already the first B.C. First Nation to have aseat in regional government as a memberof Metro Vancouver, the TFN and its eco-nomic development corporation are keen todevelop several hundred acres of industrial-ly-zoned lands, including a logistics centreideally situated near the ports at RobertsBank.Having been named a finalist for this year’sprovincial Open for Business Awards, whichrecognizes municipalities and First Nationsthat undertake initiatives to reduce the costand complexity of doing business, the TFNhas 135 hectares (335 acres) designated forindustrial development.The First Nation is advertising the propertywill “appeal to tenants of all types and sizesseeking to take advantage of a large indus-trial park that can provide state of the artintermodal, goods handling, light manufac-

turing, warehousing and distribution services.”One of the projects in the industrial area will be a Chevroncardlock truck fueling centre, which will open this fall.Another is a container examination facility in partnershipwith Port Metro Vancouver, set to open in 2017.The container inspection facility will be a huge purpose-built facility costing in excess of $10 million. It will sig-nificantly help improve the flow of containers, especiallysince border security officials now have to sendcontainers to an inspection facility in Burnaby.“It’s going to reduce the amount of truck trafficin the Lower Mainland,” said Port Metro Van-couver president and CEO Robin Silvester. “It’sa state-of-the-art facility and will have the latesttechnology for inspecting containers, and it’s go-ing help CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency)ensure the security of the container trade that’sreally important to all of us.”Meanwhile, construction has begun on the firstphase of a 24-hectare (60-acre) logistics ware-house development, a partnership with GreatWest Life Realty Advisors Inc.A number of major road projects are also under-way in and around the TFN to accommodate thegrowth, including new roadways that will createdirect connectivity from the provincial highwayinto the industrial areas and port.To help service all that development, the federalgovernment this summer announced funding fora significant upgrade to a regional water main inorder to service the TFN within Metro Vancou-ver. The federal and provincial governments willcontribute $3.7 million each while the GreaterVancouver Water District has already committed$4.6 million. The TFN will pick up the remainderof the cost, estimated to be around $17.6 millionWork is already underway on a $25 million sanitary sewertreatment plant.The provincial government announced this month theTsawwassen First Nation will receive $440,000 in BikeBCfunding for a new multi-use path for cyclists and pedestri-ans, linking the First Nation with the B.C. Ferries terminal,thus creating additional tourism opportunities.The TFN is also building a new sports field complex forits members to open later this year, a project Williamssaid has been needed for years. A second phase, which

includes such amenities as lacrosse boxes, is planned fornext year. The young chief says they are also planning toconstruct a new government building that will feature ahealth centre as well as an elders’ centre.“We’re growing every year and outgrowing our spacesright now,” he says.The TFN still has roughly 217 hectares (540 acres) desig-nated as agricultural. Farming is taking place there along

with the new Tsawwassen First Nation Farm School, a col-laboration between the TFN and the Institute for Sustain-able Food Systems at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.Plans are also in the works for a cultural centre nearHighway 17 as a tourism destination to showcase TFNheritage.Their land base deeply connected to their identity, theTsawwassen people have lived in their corner of B.C. forthousands of years, but in just a few short years theirtraditional territory will look radically different. !

fortable office in LadnerVillage includes private

room for the creative artsprograms. Meg says thecreative arts programs willbe less structured thantypical art classes andAlongside You aims togive people the space andsupplies to experiment andcreate.Making art is a way to

not only express creativity,but it can also help managestress and anxiety, and con-nect with others in the com-munity, the couple says.The Neufelds say they

Nothing beats an autumnapple.In July, I might go for a

juicy piece of watermelon.In December, a mandarinorange or two.But right about now, it’s

only apples for me.It was ever thus. Back in

the day, when I was a kidand a Sunday in autumnarrived, the parents wouldload us into the Impala andhead for a walking trail.We’d find ourselves sticks,the sisters and I, and trampthrough the woods, pausingto wade through puddlesand collect coloured leavesand pretty bits of moss.Midway through the

hike, my mother wouldopen her Woodward’s bagand dole out the treats. ARed Delicious one day, aMcIntosh another.Nothing ever tasted so

good.Sure, there are other

standard seasonal eats.Meatloaf, say. Pot roast,spaghetti, macaroni andcheese.But if fall has a taste

that defines it, it’s a shiny,crunchy apple — ideally,eaten outdoors.Last weekend, we went

for a walk. We headed tothe dike in our sweaters andjeans.The air was September

fresh and cool. A mist hungover the water.We nodded hello to peo-

ple walking dogs and push-ing strollers and cruising ontheir bikes.We veered off the bath

and on to the beach andrested a while on a log.“You brought them?”

the husband asked. “Theapples?”“Of course,” I said,

reaching for my bag.On this day, we munched

on juicy, pink Ambrosias.These days, of course,

the offerings far surpasswhat my mother mighthave reached for. I remem-

ber Spartans back when Iwas a kid, and certainly aGranny Smith, but I don’trecall tasting a Gala, a Fuji,a Honeycrisp or a Jazz.The variety, it seems, is asimpressive as the names.They’re all wonderful.

They’re all the season’sbest.Come the late autumn

rain and the chill ofDecember, the dike won’tbeckon as much. The stroll-er-pushers will be largelyinside, and we will betoo, curled up on coucheswatching football or a roar-ing fire or puzzling over aScrabble board.Our minds — and our

palates — will turn tobowls of popcorn and nutsand to plates of crackersand cheese.But that’s down the road.Today, and tomorrow,

and the week after next,we’ll continue to reach forthe sweaters and head outin search of the perfectwalking trail.Not quite sure which

ones they’ll be, but I knowwhat I’ll be taking.

Apples are the obviouschoice for a fall snackIdeal nourishment for a walk in the cool, fresh air

Reportto the

Community2014/15


Since Delta Hospital first opened its doors - with theextended care facility in 1977, followed quickly by theofficial opening of the acute care hospital in 1980, therehave been many changes.

With the community by our side, we have enabled manyimprovements to Delta Hospital. These have includedlarge investments such as an expanded EmergencyDepartment and Surgical Daycare, a Rapid Access Clinicand a state of the art CT Scanner, as well as regularlypurchasing much needed new equipment, and investingin staff training.

What we haven’t seen however, are any large scalebuilding additions to Delta Hospital. The hospital thatwas originally built for a population of 50,000 now catersto a population of over 100,000 and growing.

With the projected growth in population and thecomplex healthcare needs of our aging community, anexpanded hospital is critical to maintaining the excellentlevels of care that we have all come to expect from ourhospital.

The first stage of any future expansion to Delta Hospitalrequires an upgrade of the backbone of our hospital:Diagnostic Services. Comprised of Medical Imaging andLaboratory, these departments are relied upon by allcorners of the hospital to provide accurate diagnosis andtimely treatment.

This past March, we received some much anticipatednews: our $12.5 million project to expand DiagnosticServices had been approved by Fraser Health and theMinistry of Health. Alongside this was the fantasticannouncement of a $2.5 million gift from ShatoHoldings Ltd. and the Toigo family, bringing us muchcloser to achieving our fundraising goals, and adding tomajor gifts already received from the Delta HospitalAuxiliary and the Delta Agricultural Society.

We are excited to announce that construction on the newPeter C. & Elizabeth Toigo Diagnostic ServicesBuildingwill commence in 2017. Planning is wellunderway to ensure we have a state of the art facility thattakes into account the needs of our community now, andinto the future.

Although 2014/15 saw the Foundation focused onfundraising for this expansion, we also continued tosupport and strengthen the many other departments ofour hospital. A successful fundraising year has enabledthe purchase of over $400,000 in essential hospitalequipment, and an investment of over $15,000 inupskilling our hospital staff through education, trainingand attendance at seminars.

Although Delta itself has grown and changed since thehospital first opened all those years ago, what hasn’tchanged is the support and love the hospital receivesfrom our community. The achievements of ourFoundation are in fact, achievements shared by us all –they are inextricably tied to the generosity anddedication of our community.

We are so grateful to everyone in the community whohas supported our hospital over the past year. Thank youto those who have enthusiastically run their ownfundraising events, attended Delta Hospital Foundationevents as volunteers or participants, or supported usthrough sponsorship and auction items. Thank you to themany donors who helped to purchase essentialequipment and contributed to our capital campaign.Above all, thank you for believing in quality healthcarefor our families, neighbours and our community.

“As we stand on the threshold of the biggest expansion in Delta Hospital history,we know that we are paving the way for a healthier future for Delta.”

CARING FOR OUR COMMUNITY

Shato Holdings Ltd. & the Toigo FamilyThis past year we celebrated the largest ever single gift tothe Delta Hospital Foundation. The $2.5 million gift fromShato Holdings Ltd and the Toigo family in support of theDiagnostic Services Campaign, was truly the highlight of2014.

This generous donation has been dedicated in honour ofthe company founder and his wife, with the new building tobe named the Peter C. and Elizabeth Toigo DiagnosticServices Building. “My late husband Peter and I movedhere 50 years ago to raise our family, and we couldn’t havechosen a better place,” says Elizabeth Toigo, “As a matter offact, our children are all here and raising their families. Weare honored to be able to give back to the community weall care so much about.”

The Toigo family business, Shato Holdings Ltd. was foundedin 1968 by Peter Toigo Sr. and has its roots in Tsawwassen.Now run by Ron Toigo and Peter Toigo Jr., the family hascontinued the long legacy of philanthropy started by theirlate father.

With community involvement a priority for the family, theyhave continually supported many philanthropic projectshere in Delta, and throughout British Columbia.

Peter C. Toigo lost his battle with cancer in 1993. Mr. JusticeAllan McEachern, QC, Chief Justice (ret.), British ColumbiaCourt of Appeals, said, “Peter never forgot the adversityof hungry years, and that made him a better person...we shall certainly not see another person like him in thislife.”

Peter is survived by Elizabeth Toigo who continues to livein Delta surrounded by many of her family.

Thanks to our many community supporters and theToigo family, the future of Delta Hospital has neverlooked brighter. The generous gift bestowed upon theFoundation by the Toigo family will enable many moreopportunities for an expanded Delta Hospital and ahealthier future for Delta.

The Peter C. & Elizabeth Toigo Diagnostic ServicesBuildingwill serve as a fitting legacy for the longhistory of Toigo family philanthropy and investment inthe Delta community.

On behalf of us all, we thank you.

Probiotics importantto good health

JESSICA KERR

There is room in everyone’sdiet for a little probiotics,and they can help with amyriad of health concerns.

“They’re crucial,” said HalinaKwiatkowska, who ownsParsley, Sage and ThymeHealth Store in Ladner.

The human digestive sys-tem is made up of mil-lions of microorganisms.Probiotics are healthy bac-teria that can be ingestedthrough certain foods orsupplements. Once in thecolon, they multiply andhelp balance the good andbad bacteria that live there.

However, Kwiatkowska said,research is showing thatprobiotics can help morethan just colon health.

“Eighty to 90 per cent ofthe immune system is inour gut,” she said, addingthat poor gut flora can leadincreased susceptibility tocolds and the flu, and otherdiseases.

Kwiatkowska said that peo-ple with intestinal issues,such as irritable bowel syn-drome, have poor gut flora.Ongoing poor intestinalhealth can lead to a host of

health problems through-out the body — allergies,asthma, eczema and evenmood are all linked to thegut, she said.

Serotonin, the human hor-mone also known as the“happy hormone,” is pro-duced largely in the diges-tive track and is responsiblefor maintaining mood bal-ance.

“It goes beyond that wholegastric upset,” Kwiatkowskasaid. “All the research in theworld is now done on pro-biotics.”

Taking probiotics is espe-cially important followingsurgery, a round of antibiot-ics, or a gastro intestinalillness, she said, adding thatone bout of stomach flu can

“pretty much wipe out” allthe good bacteria.

Probiotics can be found infermented foods, such asyogurt and kefir (a ferment-ed milk drink), sauerkraut,kosher pickles (pickles madewith a salt brine instead ofvinegar), kimchi (Koreanfermented vegetables) andmiso paste (Japanese fer-mented soybean paste).At Parsley, Sage andThyme, they recommendeating some kind of fer-mented food with thelargest meal of the day,Kwiatkowska said.

There are also a variety ofprobiotic supplements onthe market, which provide amuch more potent dose ofthe beneficial bacteria, shesaid.

There are many differ-ent supplements out theretoday ranging from six to 10billion per capsule up to 100billion. Kwiatkowska recom-mends looking at the poten-cy, as well as the types ofprobiotics included.

Some formulas are designedto address specific areas,such as colon, urinary orgenital health, while othercan help with general healthand wellbeing.

Probiotics can be found in fer-mented foods like yogurt, kefir,sauerkraut, kosher pickles andmiso paste.
