A federal investigation intoan accident at the WestshoreTerminals coal port at RobertsBank is now underway.

On Dec. 7, the Panama-regis-tered and Japan-owned bulk car-rier Cape Apricot crashed into acauseway, destroying about 100metres of the structure, includinga coal conveyer system.

The ship severed the only linkwith one of the terminal’s twoloading berths, knocking out halfthe capacity of North America’sbusiest coal port. Nobody wasinjured and the ship had only

minor damage.A spokesperson with the

Transportation Safety Board toldthe Optimist the accident, referredto as an “occurrence,” has beenclassified as a class-three investi-gation.

Each transportation occurrenceis assigned to one of five differentinvestigation classes, dependingon the circumstances determinedin an initial inquiry.

According to the TransportationSafety Board, a class-three occur-rence is determined if there’ssignificant public expectation theTSB should independently makefindings as to cause and contrib-uting factors or there is potential

for better understanding of safetyissues.

At the top of the investigation

categories are class-one occur-rences, which merit a publicinquiry.

The spokesperson with theagency noted the “field phase” ofthe investigation, where investiga-tors gather information for lateranalysis, is still in the early stages.A full report will be published atthe end of the investigation.

Berth 1, which can handle ves-sels up to 260,000 deadweighttonnes using a single, rail-mount-ed shiploader capable of loadingat a rate of 7,000 tonnes per hour,was damaged. Its loss representsa huge drop in the amount ofproduct that can be handled at thecoal port.

The Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter will under-take promotion next week-end to encourage cat adop-tions.

On Jan. 19 and 20, theshelter will slash its fees inhalf for cat and kitten adop-tions in an event dubbedStart The New Year With AFriend.

The promotion followsa similar adoption eventheld late last year by theBCSPCA, which managedto adopt hundreds of half-price cats.

Shelter manager SarahLowe said all cats arespayed or neutered, had ini-tial vaccinations, worm andflea treatments, and comewith six weeks of compli-mentary insurance fromPetSecure, as well as a cer-

tificate for a complimentaryhealth examination.

The felines also comewith permanent identifica-tion such as tattoos.

“We have cats and kittensranging in ages and colours.Lots of senior cats are look-ing to be the ideal compan-ion for a quieter home,”Lowe said.

“We also still do theMeet Your Match programfor our adult cats whereadopters come in and fillout a short questionnaireabout what they are lookingfor in a feline companionand what type of homethey can provide,” Lowesaid. “We then match thoseresults to cats we have inshelter.

“We ask that peopleadopt a cat not just becausethey are now a cheaperadoption fee, but becausethey want to have a long-

term companion.” she said.According to the shelter,

last year over 600 animalscame through its doors. Atotal of 405 animals wereadopted. However, thenumber of cats admittedas strays and claimed by

their owners was only 15per cent, which is why theshelter continues to urge catowners to provide their petswith identification in theform of a tattoo or micro-chip.

The shelter also contin-

ues to see a high number ofunwanted cats due to own-ers not spaying or neuteringtheir animals.

This March, the munici-pally-run animal shelterwill relocate to a new12,000-square-foot facility

to better meet the needs andcomfort of cats and otheranimals.

For more informationabout cats available foradoption, visit www.delta-communityanimalshelter.caor call 604-940-7111.

Horgan, general managerof Westshore TerminalsLimited Partnership, saidreconstruction could takemonths.

The accident resultedin several tonnes of coalspilling into the water, butWestshore maintains therewas minimal environmentalimpact and that coal is inert

and not harmful in its natu-ral state. A recovery plan isin the works to remove it.

Westshore says duringits 42-year history, over8,300 ship dockings haveoccurred without incident.

Westshore has filed alawsuit against the ship’sowners alleging “the vesselwas navigated, managed

and operated in a negligentmanner, or in the alterna-tive, in a grossly negligentmanner by her owners, mas-ter, pilot and crew.”

The accident providedmore fuel to opponents ofa proposed jet fuel deliveryplan by a consortium ofairlines using the VancouverInternational Airport. Theconsortium is proposingto ship fuel up the FraserRiver to a tank farm that

would be built on theRichmond side of the southarm of the river.

Vancouver AirportPipeline Opposition forRichmond is pointing outthe recent accident showshow groundings and fuelsspills can happen. Deltacouncil has told the prov-ince that greater effort isrequired to independentlyassess other options to thatproject.

The Tsawwassen FirstNation has set April 10 asthe date for its next generalelection.

The First Nationannounced this week thedate for the election, whichwas ordered after the TFNJudicial Council recentlyupheld appeals followinglast September’s electionresult.

That race saw BryceWilliams defeat incumbentKim Baird to become thenew chief.

Baird didn’t personallylaunch an appeal but her

brother, Mike Baird, wasone of the two appellants.The other was ChristinaShellar.

They filed appealsregarding election notices,claiming a wrong date onone of the notices impactedthe outcome of the election.

Saying she’s glad theTFN has a clear processregarding appeals, KimBaird said it’s important“there won’t be a cloudhanging over the results.”She confirmed she wouldrun in the election.

Williams, a 23-year-oldcarver, defeated Baird 78to 69. He was first electedto the TFN government in

2009, having served on theexecutive council, whichis reserved for the top votegetters in an election.

The defeat of Baird, who

was acclaimed in 2009 andhad been chief since 1999,was seen as a surprise tomany.

The ousting of Baird,

who negotiated the prov-ince’s first urban treaty,came at a critical juncturefor the TFN as it embarkson major development proj-ects, which will change theface of South Delta as wellas the region.

Saying the vision andmandate of his governmentwould focus on continuingwith the TFN economicdevelopment projects, alongwith initiatives to improvethe health and wellness ofthe community, Williams, inan interview following lastSeptember’s win, noted hisvictory was due in part tothe mood of the communitylooking for something dif-

ferent.“They know that I’ll be

a strong leader in manyaspects, especially in cul-ture. I’ve lived here all mylife and I respect all thepeople down here and theyrespect me,” he said.

He noted an issue peopletalked to him about was theneed for the TFN to main-tain its cultural identity. Headded another issue was asense there needed to bebetter dialogue betweengovernment and residents.

April’s election will alsoinclude the race for seatson both the TFN’s legisla-tive assembly and executivecouncil.

B.C. Conservative LeaderJohn Cummins will run inLangley in May’s provincialelection.

The former longtime MPfor Delta-Richmond Eastannounced on the weekendhe chose the district in partbecause he has made it hishome for the last couple ofyears.

“I will be campaigning inLangley on the same issuesthat B.C. Conservative can-didates across the provincewill be seeking election inMay,” Cummins said.

“Langley residents, likeBritish Columbians every-where across the province,want to see fundamentalchange in Victoria. TheB.C. Conservatives repre-sent a viable free-enterprisealternative to the statusquo.”

Liberal cabinet ministerMary Polak has held theseat since 2005. She wonhandily in the last election,taking 56 per cent of thevote, but it remains to be

seen how things will unfoldwith the Liberals nowfloundering in the polls.

The decision byCummins ends any specula-tion that he could run inDelta, where he won federalelections by wide marginsand had great popularity.

He told the media thatsome supporters wantedhim to run in Delta again.

As a Conservative MP,Cummins gave a ring-ing endorsement to VickiHuntington’s campaign inDelta South in the 2009provincial election cam-paign. Now the MLA,Huntington, a longtimefriend of Cummins, hasstated she’ll likely remainan independent in thisyear’s provincial election.

The Conservativeshave stated they wouldn’trun a candidate in DeltaSouth out of respect forHuntington, even thoughthe riding’s electoral historylends itself to a right lean-ing candidate.

The absence of aConservative candidate herewould eliminate one poten-

tial vote-splitting scenario.The Liberals in Delta

South are gearing up forthe election with a nomina-tion meeting set for Jan.22. Coun. Bruce McDonaldlast week announced he’sseeing the nomination andwill square off againstTsawwassen businessmanBruce Fougner.

Nic Slater is the NewDemocrat candidate in theriding.

The Greens also saidthey won’t run a candidatehere out of respect forHuntington.

The election is set forMay 14.

DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

Local volunteers andpolice officers were outin force over the holidaysin an effort to make sureeveryone made it homesafely.

Delta police spokesper-son Const. Ciaran Feenansaid it appears people aregetting the message aspolice are seeing fewerimpaired drivers on theroads.

“It was a successfulcampaign,” Feenan said.“Ultimately the numbers aredown... That means peopleare being responsible.”

Delta police set upCounterAttack check-points at various locationsthroughout the holidayseason, screening a totalof 5,630 drivers. Of that,63 were asked to give abreath sample, which meansan officer had reason tobelieve the driver mighthave consumed alcoholbefore getting behind thewheel.

One person was arrested

for impaired driving, whilethree others were issued 24-hour roadside suspensions,which means the roadsidebreath screening device reg-istered a warn or a fail.

Feenan also noted thatofficers issued two 24-hour suspensions to driversimpaired by drugs.

In 2011, 107 driverswere asked to give a breathsample with six registeringa warn, six registering a failand one refusing to takethe test for a total of 13impaired drivers.

In addition to looking forimpaired drivers, officerswere also on the lookoutfor a variety of other infrac-tions. Feenan said duringthe CounterAttack cam-paign, police impounded31 vehicles for a varietyof reasons, handed out 54tickets and 11 warnings,and arrested four people onoutstanding warrants.

Operation Red Nose vol-unteers were out once againhelping holiday revelers andtheir passengers get homesafely.

This year, 409 volunteers,

which made up 130 teams,gave 666 rides and drovemore than 21,100 kilome-tres.

With an average of threepeople per ride, that’s 2,000people that got home safely,said Carlene Lewall, Delta-Richmond Operation RedNose chair.

In return, clients donated$19,526.

Those numbers are upover 2011 and 2010, whichsaw a spike in the numberof rides after the imple-mentation of new impaireddriving penalties. In 2011,Delta-Richmond OperationRed Nose gave 644 rideswhile 2010 saw 650 rides.

Nancy Macey has spent more than twodecades working to ensure people in Deltahave the support and services they needwhen nearing the end of their life or deal-ing with a life-threatening illness.

Macey, who moved to Tsawwassen in1970 and describes herself as a professionalvolunteer, started the Delta Hospice Societyin 1991 and is its executive director.

Three years ago, the society opened theIrene Thomas Hospice and the Harold &Veronica Savage Centre for SupportiveCare in Ladner.

Q: What was your vision when youstarted the Delta Hospice Society?

A: Unlike what everybody thinks, itwasn’t what we have right now. Basicallymy vision was to try and reduce suffering,and that was it. And to make a connectionwith people so they knew where to findresources and support so people weren’tsuffering, and that was it. It wasn’t having abig building and all of this, it was very sim-plistic but I think that goalstill stands today.

Q: Now that the hospiceand supportive care centrehave become a reality, whatis your next goal for thesociety?

A: Sustainability into thefuture. And to build more ofwhat we have in terms of theservices. I just hired anotherpart-time counsellor becausewe’re being run off ourfeet with the need for that emotional andspiritual support. It’s so far beyond what Ithought was possible, what we’ve achieved,that I’m still sort of basking in the realitythat we’ve actually done it.

Q: You mentioned that you just had tohire another counsellor. How busy is thehospice these days?

A: Our beds are usually pretty much full.We do take people from other communi-ties because that is part of our connectionwith Fraser Health, but we certainly seemto be able to support our Delta families. It’salmost full all of the time, there’s such ademand.

Q: What drives your passion for pro-viding end-of-life care and support forpeople, caregivers and families?

A: I think I’m highly sensitive to people

and their feelings. Partly what I’ve gonethrough as a person but I’m just highly sen-sitive to people and I can’t stand suffering.So it’s just trying to not see people sufferbe it emotional pain, any kind of suffering.I just find that is what drives me. It’s thatsimple.

Q: What are your hopes for the futureof hospice palliative careservices in B.C.?

A: That’s a hard onebecause it’s so fractionedacross the region. It’s avery new discipline in theformal health care system,so I think physicians playa huge role in terms ofunderstanding conversa-tions they need to be havingwith families. They needto be more knowledgeable

around proper drugs and pain management,because they’re going to play an importantrole. But I think the strategies coming fromthe government supporting end-of-life carebecause it all comes down to dollars in theend.

Q: There is still a lot of fear associatedwith death and dying, and it’s not a topicthat is openly discussed a lot. Do youthink that needs to change?

A: Absolutely. I think we’ve come along way. I think now it’s a lot more out inthe open. To me, it’s a lot like if you seesomething in the paper about diabetes andyou don’t have diabetes you don’t pay anyattention to it. I don’t know if we can everdo enough education but I also don’t wantto put a lot of resources there when peopleactually don’t want it until they need it.

I’m getting a tad impa-tient. It’s been almost threeweeks since the winter sol-stice informed us the dayswere getting longer, but sofar, not a heck of a lot hashappened.

It’s still dark when I’mstanding at the bus stop inthe morning. It’s still darkbefore I’ve thought of mak-ing dinner. It’s still darkfor much of the day, and ofcourse, through the nightas well.

I have forgotten whatit’s like to wear sunglasses.I have forgotten what it’slike to need a hat with abrim. I have forgotten whatmy shadow looks like, orwhether I even have one.

I have forgotten whatthat yellow thing in the sky

looks like, because I haven’tseen it for what feels likeforever.

I want sunshine. And Iwant it now.

There was a moment —oh, four or five weeks ago— when I thought I mightget aglimpseof it. Iwas inthe carheadingin thedirectionof home,and therewas alittlecrack inthe clouds off to the west.

“Oh look,” I said to myhusband, who was sittingbeside me. “Is that the skyI’m looking at over there?”

The husband craned hisneck.

“Where?” he asked.“Over there,” I said,

pointing. “See that redhouse? See directly above it

and a little to the right?”The husband spotted

the house, but by then, theclouds had done their dirtywork and erased any inklingof blue. It was two in theafternoon, but it felt like4 a.m. Let’s just say the

shades weren’t needed.“This is crazy,” I said. “I

thought the days were sup-posed to be getting longer.”

“They are,” said thehusband. “But it happensincrementally. You know, bya couple of minutes everyday.”

“Well,” I said. “To heckwith this incrementallybusiness. Why can’t it hap-

pen, oh, by an hour or twoa day?”

The husband sighed.“Because,” he said, “it

doesn’t work that way. Youknow that.”

Of course, I do knowthat, having experienced

more than a fewJanuarys in mylifetime. Still,seems to me thatMother Naturemight mix thingsup occasion-ally, and offerwe northerners abit of a seasonalsurprise. Wouldit really be sotough on her to

open up the clouds everyonce in a while and give usan opportunity — even for10 or 15 minutes — to lookat the sky and squint?

That’s all I ask.The days will get much

longer, eventually, I guess.But for now I’d love justa glimpse of the sun —assuming it’s still around.

Longing for day when pair ofsunglasses is a requirementDays might be getting longer, but those winter blahs will remain until theyellow thing in the sky decides it’s going to make an appearance

LIVINGMATTERS

Still, seems to me that Mother Nature mightmix things up occasionally, and offer wenortherners a bit of a seasonal surprise.Would it really be so tough on her to open upthe clouds every once in a while and give usan opportunity — even for 10 or 15 minutes— to look at the sky and squint?

Delta Southrace finallyheating up

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

This spring’s provincial election inDelta South just got a whole lot moreinteresting.

The announcement last week that long-time civic councillor Bruce McDonaldis seeking the Liberal nomination meansthe road back to Victoria got a lot bumpi-er for MLA Vicki Huntington.

When she was elected back in 2009, itwas openly debated whether the protestvote that propelled Huntington to officecould be sustained for more than oneterm. Would anger in these parts dissi-pate and would voters return to the partyfold?

That was the thinking of many two orthree years ago, but as the May provin-cial election drew nearer, the likelihoodof a second term for our independentMLA actually became greater. Less thansix months out and there were only twodeclared challengers: acclaimed NDPcandidate Nic Slater and Liberal BruceFougner.

The Conservatives and Greens hadannounced they wouldn’t run candidatesagainst Huntington, and given the factthis isn’t fertile NDP territory and theonly Liberal to declare is a political neo-phyte, you had to think her re-electionchances looked pretty darn good.

That changes should McDonald winthe nomination later this month. That’snot to suggest the veteran council mem-ber becomes the favourite should he bestFougner, but he would undoubtedly makeit more difficult for his former civic col-league to secure a second term.

McDonald’s service on Delta councildates back more than a quarter century,and over that time he has earned a repu-tation for his common sense approach.I’ve long admired his willingness to notonly take a stand, but to defend that posi-tion in the face of criticism.

Whether his record of public ser-vice, and the right leaning nature ofthis riding, can overcome the baggagethe Liberals have accumulated in DeltaSouth will be a question left in the handsof local voters.

The fact the Liberals have attracted apotential candidate of McDonald’s staturemeans it would be foolish to write offthe governing party. It should be remem-bered that cabinet minister Wally Oppalonly lost the seat in a recount, and whilethe Liberals aren’t as popular provinciallyas they were four years ago, it could beargued the disdain here might not be asacute as it was in 2009.

Throw in the possibility of theConservatives reconsidering their posi-tion, as well as the always-crucial stra-tegic voting, and this race is far from aforegone conclusion.

It’s 2:40 a.m., and we’re prayingthe phone doesn’t ring.

All night we have heard sto-ries of a 2:45 phone call from anOperation Red Nose dispatcheralerting the team to a ride fromRichmond to Surrey or beyond.Chances are we’d be too late for atransfer team and would be com-pelled to drive them all the wayhome.

After all, that’s why they calledin the first place. But we reallydidn’t want to finish at 4 a.m., anhour past the end of our volunteershift.

My son recently passed his driv-er’s test and received his N, so nowthat he’s on the road by himself,I felt compelled to do anything Icould to make the roads a littlesafer. Volunteering for OperationRed Nose seemed like an obviouschoice, so I called, completed a

criminal record check and I wasready to go.

I was assigned to Rudy’s teamwith Bob and Doug (no, not theMackenzie brothers, I just don’twant to use their real names!) Bothare ardent volunteers. Bob is aRotarian and this is Doug’s fourthChristmas driving, as well as don-ning the Rudy suit to promote theservice at staff parties, bars andpubs.

Our night begins at a staff partyin Tsawwassen. It’s early and theyare in the middle of speeches. Wemake a quick visit, drop off a fewflyers and make our exit. As wewalk past the men’s room, somepoor guy opens the door, staring ata seven-foot reindeer. Bet he waswondering what was in his lastdrink!

We head off to another staffparty in Richmond. They are hav-ing a bit more fun, and Rudy endsup on the dance floor. It’s gettinghot in the suit, so Doug signals it’stime to leave (he can’t see out ofthe suit very well). As we are leav-ing, it seems everyone with a cam-era wants a picture. Hey, it’s Rudy,not Elvis!

Around 10:30 p.m., we get ourfirst call. We pick up a couple inRichmond and drive them to a

transfer point at 64th Avenue and120th Street. A team from Surreymeets us and takes the clients andtheir car the rest of the way home,safely.

As the evening progresses itgets busier, and the clients go fromhappily tipsy to more impaired.Richmond to Tsawwassen.Tsawwassen to Ladner. Ladner toSurrey.

At midnight Doug decides tocall his girlfriend. “Hi, Beautiful,you awake?” She is now. At leasthe called her Beautiful.

It’s 2:30 a.m., and we get the OKto head back to Ladner. We’re pray-ing the phone doesn’t ring. Luckilyit didn’t, but if it had we knew we’dkeep one more drunk driver off thestreets.

It was a fun night, and I real-ized how valuable this service isto keeping the roads safe in ourcommunity, thanks to dozens ofvolunteers that give up a weekendnight. Mind you, the night ends solate, they give up most of the nextday, too.

It’s worth it, during the holidays,to tuck a $20 and a Red Nose cardinto the wallet or purse of someoneyou care about, and you’ll sleep abit better knowing they’ll get homesafely.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:I learned something

about new math at Deltacouncil’s meeting on Dec.17.

When staff reported themajority of communicationsreceived were against any

Southlands proposal, it wasrevealed the calculationsincluded multiple submis-sions by individuals, whichis the statistical equivalentof ballot box stuffing.

One-citizen-one-voteis still the definition of

democracy and it’s impor-tant for council to knowhow many individualsexpressed their opinion foror against, not just the totalsin each type of communica-tion.

What a terrific project

a new spreadsheet andaccurate tally of communi-cations would make for amath class in South Delta.Is anyone up to the chal-lenge? Let’s get the realfacts.

Janice Wasik

Editor:Since the provincial

government has startedthe dog and pony showon the dream of replac-ing the George MasseyTunnel, I had a thoughtabout what it might dowith the old Port MannBridge.

Why doesn’t it build anICBC claims centre on itso the tow trucks won’thave to go so far withpeople’s cars that decidedto use the new bridge?Just a thought.

Greg Hoover

Editor:The last glimpse my

late neighbour had of thehouse she lived in for halfher 90-plus years was froma stretcher being bumpeddown her steep stairs byparamedics.

Her ears must still havebeen ringing with thesound of the burglar alarmI accidentally set off whileresponding to her Lifelinealert with an out-of-datekey. She had refused tothink of moving, though itwas clearly not safe for herto live in that house alone,

and I suppose that was herright.

I wonder, however, howmany residents that don’twant to face up to the facttheir housing is no longersuitable justify inactionwith the notion they areaging in place.

Aging in place shouldmean living among peoplewho take an interest in youand services you know. Itshould not mean squattingunder a big old unadaptedroof.

Of course, people canalso justify inaction by

saying there is nothing tomove to and pointing outhow thoughtlessly the needfor age-friendly housing isbeing addressed.

For example, there is acurrent application for anupper Tsawwassen housingdevelopment the proponentsays is intended for emptynesters, which should meanthey are compact and stair-free. However, the proposedhouses are as big as a fam-ily house used to be, andfour out of five have twoflights of stairs.

Profitable De-clutteringFlip to the home and garden channelright now and you're more than likelyto land right on a program all aboutde-cluttering your life. It can betime-consuming, frustrating andsometimes dirty, but the reward is theresulting peace of mind... right?Fortunately there's one spot in yourhousewherede-clutteringcanresult inmuchmorethanjustastateofmind...It's your jewellery box. It might beyour top drawer, a container in yourbathroomor an ornate little cabinet onyour dresser. Open it up. Maybe youhave each item carefully polished andsorted, waiting for your next cocktailparty or dinner out- good for you!Otherwise, there's a good chance youmight be gazing intowhat looks like abad episode of "Hoarders": Brokenchains littered at the bottom, tangledwith single earrings and fashion ringsfrom the '80's. Maybe you'll see thatpair of earrings that you can't wearanymore because the metal drivesyour skin crazy. Perhaps you'll spot aheart-shaped pendant from a pastboyfriend, or the engagement ringfromyourfirstmarriage.Everyone's jewellery box is differentand cleaning it out can often be a veryprofitable process. Once you'vedecided which pieces you want to letgo of, you'll need to determine howyou want to sell them. This firstrequiresanunderstandingof twobasicrules to avoid any unpleasantsurprises.

Rule number 1: Never expect to getback what you paid! When youpurchase a piece at a jewellery storeyouarebuyingabrandnewitemin theretail market. When you buy theseitems you are paying top dollar fornew, un-worked preciousmetals, newstones, craftsmanship, and retailmark-up. Much like buying a newcaroff the lot, as soon as you walk out ofthat store, the value of your item haschanged.

Rule number 2: Never expect to gettheamountyourpieceisappraisedat!

Whenanitemisappraised, thevalueonthe appraisal is a replacement value.This value is very important forinsurance purposes as it reflects thecost to have that piece re-made orre-purchased. It is not the second-handorpre-ownedvalue.

Whileyoucanneverexpect tosellyouritem for retail or appraisal value, youcan make sure you are maximizingyour personal gain by approaching thecorrectsecondhandmarket.There are four different avenues youcan take depending on the quality andcondition of your jewellery at the timeof sale. It is up to the seller to decidewhichavenuebest suits theirneedsandto create a realistic expectation ofwhattypeofreturntheyarelookingfor.

Private Sale: The option of sellingyour pieces privately exists, howeverthis avenue leaves yourself open to thehighest amount of personal risk. Thismethod is not recommend for sellingvaluablepersonalitems.

Consignment: There are plenty ofconsignmentoptionsaround via estatesalesandantiquedealers.Thismaybeagood option for items in excellentcondition. Having your valuables ondisplay in a secure storefronteliminates the risk to your personalsafety and allows for a wider audienceto view your piece while shopping.However, consignment stores can takea hefty commission off the final saleand some items may take a very longtime (monthsorevenyears)tosell.

Auction: This option is again suitablefor items in excellent condition. Thebenefit of selling at an auction is thatyou are able to set a minimum bid sothat you have control over what yourpiece sells for, plus there is the chancethat, with the right set of bidders, yourpiececouldgoformore. However, thisprocess can be costly after fees andcomissions, even if the item remainsunsold.

Gold Recycling Program: Gold

Clearing the clutter from your jewellery box can be a profitable endeavor if you approach the second-handmarket withrealistic expectations.recycling isbecoming an increasinglypopular decision due to theskyrocketing market values of gold.The condition of your piece is nottaken intoconsiderationas this serviceis only looking at refining the scrapgold in the piece, therefore theexpected price may be lower than theother markets mentioned above.However, there is no wait time for afinal sale, the condition of the piecedoesnotmatter,andyoucanhaveallofyour stones removed before recyclingyour items (which is often the mostvaluable part of the jewellery) to beusedinanewpiecedowntheroad.While Metro Vancouver has severalresources for the auction or condition,for most people, a trustworthy goldrecycling program is usually themostprofitable option. Fortunately for us,The Gold Recyclers, one of Canada'smost trusted gold buyers, will behosting a 5 day gold buying

event this week at the CoastTsawwassenInn

Thosehoping topurge their jewelleryboxes of unwanted gold or silverjewellery are encouraged to bring theiritems down to the Coast TsawwassenInn, located at 1665 56 Street thisThursday through Monday (January10th-14th), where the Gold Recyclerswill be purchasing gold, silver andplatinum at their kiosk, located inBallroom C, just off the main lobby.Their convenient service offerscustomers topprices, freestoneremoval(when available), and on-the-spotpayment. Appointments are notnecessary.If you're unsure of the best way to sellyour items, the Gold Recyclers'professional and experienced staff willalso sort through each piece to helpyou determine which of the foursecond-handmarketswillbest suit your

needs. "We are very honest andupfront when it comes to giving ourcustomers the best advice we canregarding their specific pieces," saysElli Reilander, kioskmanager forTheGoldRecyclers. "Becauseeachofourstaff are trained by a professionalgoldsmith and jeweller, they caneasily spot a piece in someone'scollection that may be worth morewhen sold in an auction or onconsignment."

So, if your jewellery box is beginningto remind you of last night's"Hoarders" episode, why notde-clutter? If it doesn't bring youpeaceofmind, at least you'll beable tobuyyourwaytoserenity!

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: 37-storey tower will

be Delta’s tallest building,Dec. 21

It was recentlyannounced the Corporationof Delta’s mayor and coun-cil unanimously voted infavour of the profit motiveand against the interests ofits citizens who spoke out

overwhelmingly against thismonstrosity.

It is very fitting “corpo-ration” is part of the munic-ipality’s name as it walkshand-in-hand with its busi-ness partners while it stepsall over the little people.Our bylaws and so-calledNorth Delta Area Plan areno match for the shredder at

municipal hall.The approval of the

application isn’t what weexpected from our electedrepresentatives that weregiven the task of beingresponsible administra-tors. They lack the will torepresent the ordinary folkof Delta, therefore they arenot deserving of being our

administrators.If a referendum on this

application were held, thecommunity would over-whelmingly refuse it.

When the next electioncomes around in 2014, themayor and council won’tget my vote. Not any ofthem.

Editor:Re: Big changes are

coming, Jan. 2As a resident of Marina

Garden Estates in Ladner, Iam very surprised the pro-posed final build-out herereceived no mention in thearticle regarding new devel-

Nothing impacts Ladnerdirectly more than theproposed development of737 new homes at approxi-mately four times the cur-rent Marina Garden den-

sity. Traffic access right toLadner Trunk Road shouldbe a concern to all Ladnerresidents, as should parkingand access routes.

Five-storey apartmentsand 16-foot wide town-homes proposed by thedeveloper are issues of tre-

The sorority raisedthe money at a Christmas partyheld by the Kiwanis Club ofTsawwassen/Ladner.

This year marks the 50thanniversary of the firstfemale flight in space.

As the world preparesto celebrate this impor-tant milestone, the lack offemale scientists contin-ues to be reflected in thewomen unfriendliness ofmany products.

Organized by the Institutefor Women Of AviationWorldwide (iWOAW), incollaboration with NASA,the Canadian Space Agency,the European Space Agencyand the Association ofSpace Explorers, the “Youare an Inventor” contestchallenges young womento help women astronautsexplore space more com-fortably.

“Our message to youngwomen is that if they wantto enjoy products thatmeet their needs better,they must consider beingthe ones inventing them,”says Tsawwassen pilotMireille Goyer, founder ofthe Institute for Women OfAviation Worldwide.

Delta SportsTunnel Town to host Strathcona Cup

The world’s oldest inter-national curling competi-tion is coming to SouthDelta and everyone isinvited to come watch.

The Tunnel TownCurling Club is hostingpart of the Strathcona CupWest tour on Saturday at2:30 p.m. The Tsawwassenvenue is one of 11 stopson the B.C. tour, whichstarts on Thursday inNorth Vancouver and con-cludes next Wednesday onVancouver Island.

The Strathcona Cup,established in 1903, pitscurlers from Scotlandagainst curlers from Canadain a series of friendlygames.

Scotland is a nationknown for the braveryof its countrymen, so it’snot surprising that the 20Scottish curlers coming toB.C. in January have a veryambitious schedule aheadof them.

The tour takes to curl-ing clubs in the GreaterVancouver area, VancouverIsland and the SunshineCoast. And it doesn’t endthere as they will also betravelling east throughAlberta, Saskatchewan andManitoba after their stay inB.C.

“We’re hoping to givethe Strathcona Cup curlersa warm welcome. That’s

why we’re encouraging asmany people as possible tocome out to their nearestclub and support the event,”said tour organizer BruceBeveridge. “Not all theplayers will be curling atthe same time, so you willhave the opportunity to talkto the visiting teams.”

Four Tunnel Town rinkswill be taking on theirScottish visitors. Theyare: Team Kosmynka (AlKosmynkya, Phil Savard,Pat Holbrook, DarrellUnger); Team Larock (DaleLarock, Larry Evans, BobFisher, Ron Franklin); TeamMcColewell (Dave Cole,Neil Bidewell, Brian Cole,Sean McCoy) and TeamWestcott (Rae Westcott,Carl O’Reilly, Rod Sorbo,Ian Toucher, GeorgeBurden).

To fill the team remain-ing sheets, 16 playersfrom Tunnel Town’s day-time senior league willalso be in action: Theyinclude: Wayne Welsh, BobMaxwell, Pat Pettman, JimKirkey, Neil McLennan,Neil Peterson, Fred Findler,George Burden, BrianHewson, Peter Graham,Don Faulkner, Bob Pchajek,Lorne Purchas, BillChernoff, Andy Andersonand Glen Tibbatts.

The Strathcona Cupis named after Lord

Strathcona, Sir DonaldAlexander Smith, who wasthe President of the RoyalCaledonia Curling Club atthe turn of the last century.The cup itself, engraved

with silver Celtic symbolsand curling scenes, staysin Scotland as it is thoughtto be too valuable to moveback and forth between thetwo countries. The competi-

tion is held in Canada onceevery 10 years.

At the same time asthe Strathcona West Tour,a Strathcona Central andEast tour will take place in

Ontario and the Maritimes.Each win will be tallied upand the country – Scotlandor Canada – with the mostpoints will win the covetedcup.

A month after winning one football-championship, a trio from the South DeltaSun Devils are celebrating another, thistime in Texas.

Receiver David Mann, defensive backDenis Olivera and head coach Ray Moonhelped Team B.C. go undefeated at theinaugural FBU International Games in SanAntonio, including an impressive 38-18victory Saturday over the favoured UnitedStates. B.C. had opened the tournament

with a 49-14 win over Europe two daysearlier, while the Americans played just theone game.

Mann was credited with a pair of recep-tions against the US, including a 28-yardgain that set-up a major score. Olivera hada strong tournament in the secondary, mak-ing several knockdowns. This was Moon’sthird straight year as a member of the B.C.coaching staff, working as a defensive lineassistant.

The team featured top high school agetalent from around the province, includingsix members from the provincial ‘AAA’

champion Mt. Doug Rams. Still, theyweren’t considered much of a threat to anAmerican opponent that featured olderplayers and talent from several states,including Louisiana, Texas, California andMaryland.

The hosts were in for a rude awaken-ing as B.C. jumped to an early 21-0 leadand took a 31-7 advantage into halftime,scoring on all five of its possessions.Meanwhile, the defence was terrific, sur-rendering just a single touchdown in eachgame.

The Americans salvaged some pride with

a late major on a punt return when the out-come was no longer in doubt.

“They weren’t very happy,” chuckledMoon. “They only showed up with 31players and you just got the feeling theythought it was going to be easy. If anythingthe score was not indicative of just howlopsided the game was.”

Mann and Olivera are both in Grade12 and considered solid university pros-pects. Mann, who was voted the MostOutstanding Player of the Sun Devils pro-vincial final win over Mission, has fiveschools lined up for his services.

Moose avenge earlier loss to win Midget titleSouth Delta Moose have won gold in

the midget division of the SDMHA Partyin Da House Tournament.

The competition amongst all the teamswas very stiff as the games featured anexciting brand of playoff style hockey.

The Moose started off with a 2-1 vic-tory over a very tough, tier one BGBteam. A stellar performance by goaltenderGarrett Holmes earned him the gameMVP award.

Game two saw the Moose meet anothertier one team — The Bears. The Moosedropped a 2-1 decision but the loss servedthem well, as they subsequently ended upplaying The Bears again for gold.

First they were in a must-win scenarioin their final round-robin game and theycame through with a 4-2 triumph overa very solid Cariboo team, the eventualbronze medal winners.

The Bears came out strong in the finalbut it was the Moose that took a 2-0 lead

behind the strong goaltending of Holmes.The team recalled their previous tilt

against the Bears and knew it would takeits best effort to win.

Despite some goal mouth scrambles inthe dying moments, the Moose hung onfor a 3-2 win.

Throughout the tournament, the play-ers followed game plans of coachesFrank Krznaric, John Brewer and KeithPrefontaine. They are very proud of theentire team for their hard work and awe-some achievement.

The team also includes: ColtonRedman, Tanner Taylor (captain), JesseKeith, Michael Schwabe, Brett Sandhu,Stuart Graf, Michael Krznaric, RileyTaylor, Riley Philips, Graydon Policnick,Kieran Tan, John Brewer Jr., MaxYoungson and Doug Bailey.

Honorable mention goes to team man-ager Terry Prefontaine, who also did a tre-mendous job running the tournament.South Delta Moose edged the Bears 3-2 to capture the SDMHA Party In Da House midget division.

The Knights battled back from a slow startto become Pee Wee Division champions at theSDMHA Party In Da House Tournament.

The championship game featured the Knights upagainst the Ice Army in what proved to by a highlyentertaining and competitive game.

Knights centre Thomas Kranjc opened the scor-ing with a blast from the point which was thenfollowed up with a howitzer of a shot from defence-man, Jake Cantlon. Goaltender Carter Cole-Howeswas outstanding in net, only relinquishing one goalin the second period. He was supported by bluelin-

ers Reece Bains, Jake Cantlon, Sam Hudson, LiamLester, Markus Niebuhr, Sam Phillips and MorganWolsey.

The offensive line-up of Ben Schuette (wingerand goaltender), Max Cantlon, Jimmy Eely,Jordan Hawksworth, Thomas Kranjc, DawsonMacPherson-Ridgewell, and Sam Tilsley continueto look great and are looking forward to the leagueplayoffs and representing SDMHA in the Delta CupChallenge at the end of the season.

The Knights are guided by proud coaches MarkTisley and Dan Hawksworth.

VOICE MAIL. OR EVEN WORSE, SOME PLUMBERS USE AN ANSWER-ING MACHINE. THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT AND HOPE THEY WILL

CALL YOU BACK. AT CAMPBELLCARE OUR PHONES ARE STAFFED SO

YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK TO A LIVE PERSON.

WASTED TIME. MOST PLUMBERS WON’T GIVE YOU A REAL

APPOINTMENT TIME. THEY SAY “WE’LL BE THERE BETWEEN 10 AND

4.” SO YOU HAVE TO WASTE A WHOLE DAY WAITING. NOT ANY

MORE! YOU GET A PRECISE “APPOINTMENT WINDOW” WHEN YOU

CALL US. YOU DON’T WASTE A LOT OF TIME WAITING.

TOO MANY TRIPS. OTHER PLUMBERS CAN MAKE 2 OR 3 TRIPS

BEFORE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT PARTS TO FIX YOUR PROBLEM. THIS

COSTS YOU EXTRA MONEY AND FRUSTRATION. WE STOCK OUR

TRUCKS WITH 185% MORE PARTS SO WE CAN FIX THE REAL PROB-LEM THE FIRST TIME, SAVING YOU MONEY.

INVOICE SHOCK. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET

CHARGED “TIME & MATERIAL” AND THE PLUMBER GETS PAID

MORE THE LONGER HE TAKES. ONLY AT CAMPBELLCARE DO YOU

GET STRAIGHT FORWARD PRICINGTM. THIS SHOWS YOU THE EXACT

AMOUNT BEFORE THE WORK BEGINS SO YOU CAN DECIDE. MY

PLUMBER WILL EVEN SHOW YOU SEVERAL LOW COST OPTIONS SO

YOU CAN PICK THE RIGHT ONE.

CALL BACKS. OTHER PLUMBERS HAVE A “CONCRETE GUARANTEE”-- WHEN THEIR TRUCK LEAVES YOUR CONCRETE DRIVEWAY THEIR

GUARANTEE EXPIRES. NOT WITH CAMPBELLCARE WITH US YOU

HAVE A 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. IF YOU ARE

UNHAPPY FOR ANY REASON -- I WILL REDO THE REPAIR FOR

FREE.
