A Ladner senior whose debitcard was used to drain thousandsfrom her bank account wants towarn others about the danger theyface from slick crooks who maybe stalking them.

“I always thought I was vigilantand cautious,” Shirley MacNutttold the Optimist. “It looks like ifthis can happen to me, it can hap-pen to any senior citizen. I wantto get this message out so otherseniors know what these peopleare up to and to be careful.”

A recent widow, but someonewho always considered herselfcautious and unlikely to fall forscams, MacNutt had an unset-tling surprise last month whenshe checked her bank statementonline and discovered her accountdrained. She then realized herdebit card was missing from herpurse, knowing quickly she hadbeen scammed and that a polite,smooth-talking couple was likelyresponsible.

What was just as concerningas her account being emptiedwas how they stole her card andobtained her PIN.

The company behind acontentious plan to erectradio transmission towersin Point Roberts has man-aged to meet an importantdeadline set by WhatcomCounty.

BBC Broadcasting Inc.wants to construct five 45-metre (150-foot) steel tow-ers at an undeveloped lot onMcKenzie Way, about 330metres from the border.

The towers would trans-mit South Asian radiostation KRPI, AM 1550,which broadcasts fromstudios in Richmond to aLower Mainland audience.Also known as Sher-E-Punjab AM 1550, the com-pany currently uses antennalocated in Ferndale, Wash.,but wants to move themcloser and have a stronger50,000 watt all-day signal.

The FederalCommunicationsCommission in the U.S.granted a constructionpermit but a conditionaluse permit is still requiredfrom Whatcom County,which asked the applicantfor addition information,including questions put for-ward by a county biologist.

The county requestedthat information last fall,setting a July 10 deadline.

Whatcom County projectplanner Suzanne Bosmantold the Optimist severalthick binders with detailedstudies were submitted,information that will beposted on the county web-site next week.

The county hearingexaminer will hold a publichearing on the project priorto a decision on the condi-tional use permit. Bosmansaid a date for the hearinghasn’t been confirmed, buta request has been made toset aside Sept. 24 to 26.

Normally, a hearing takesone day, but several daysare needed due to the publicinterest, Bosman said, add-

ing at least one day will berequired to hear from thepublic and another to hearfrom experts.

In a recent presentationto Delta council, Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay said resi-dents opposed to the appli-cation should focus theirattention on the upcominghearing. She noted shehad been told by IndustryCanada that the FCC wasaware of Tsawwassen andtook the community intoconsideration when review-ing the application.

That’s been a source ofgreat contention amongmany local residents

who said the applicationwas fraudulent becauseTsawwassen was left com-pletely out of the company’ssubmitted map.

Concerned about the eco-nomic, environmental andsocial impacts, complaintsabout the process, as wellas blanketing interferenceof radio waves, the CrossBorder Coalition to Stopthe Radio Towers warnsthat blanket interferencecan affect many electronicdevices, causing “ghosting”of KRPI signals.

“There is strong likeli-hood of blanket interferencewith many electronic devic-es, and reception of other

radio stations,” the groupstates. “Blanket Interferenceaffects home and car radios,computers, home phones,TVs, walki-talkies andother devices not intendedfor radio communications.This was well documentedby the residents of Ferndalewho suffered for manyyears with this problem.Reading their complaints ishorrifying.”

The Cross BorderCoalition to Stop the RadioTowers is urging residentsto register with WhatcomCounty and speak at thehearing or send a letter ofprotest.

For its part, the broad-caster maintains it will doall it can to address anyissues.

“Although KRPI is notlegally required to addresscomplaints beyond a periodof one year from com-mencement of station oper-ations, nor to work acrossthe Canadian border onthe issue, KRPI neverthe-less is committed to goingbeyond minimum legalrequirements and maintainits interference complaintresolution service for thelife of the transmitter, andto provide the service toanyone affected regardlessof whether they are in PointRoberts or Tsawwassen,”the station stated.

The Cross BorderCoalition to Stop theRadio Towers is askingresidents to sign a petitionto the House of Commonsto stop a plan to erectseveral radio transmissiontowers in Point Roberts.

The coalition will havea table set up this Saturdayand Sunday, as well asthe following Saturday,near the Royal Bank at theTsawwasen Town CentreMall.

Also asking for dona-tions in the legal fight,

the coalition says BBCis being forced to movefrom its present locationbecause of its inability toeffectively mitigate theeffects of blanketing inter-ference, even at a lowerwattage at nighttime.

The FederalCommunicationsCommission granted theproject a constructionpermit but a conditionaluse permit is still requiredfrom Whatcom County.

The coalition has alsofiled an informal objectionwith the FCC opposing thecompany’s broadcastinglicence renewal.

Delta has stepped up tothe plate in the fight againstthe plan to erect radiotransmission towers in PointRoberts.

On Monday night,Delta council voted tosend letters to WhatcomCounty, the U.S. FederalCommunicationsCommission (FCC) andIndustry Canada.

“Given the scale of theproposal and the level ofcommunity concern on bothsides of the border, it isrecommended that a letterbe sent to Whatcom Countyadvising that Delta council

does not support any pro-posal that could potentiallycause adverse effects to theresidents of Tsawwassenand that essentially movesa problem from one com-munity to another,” SeanMcGill, director of humanresources and corporateplanning, said in a report tocouncil.

In his report, McGill saidthat Whatcom County’sregulations are set to ensurethat proposals will notadversely affect nearby resi-dents.

The letter to WhatcomCounty will reiterate con-cerns voiced by Delta resi-dents, as well as the pointthat if the proposal has the

potential to cause adverseeffects on residents that itmust be denied consistentwith the county’s regula-tions.

Delta is writing to theFCC to request clarificationon blanketing interference,including what assurancescan be made that residentswill not experience thesame problems reported inFerndale.

A third letter will be sentto Industry Canada askingit to intervene on behalfof local residents. Delta isalso asking for clarifica-tion on the agency’s roleshould the proposal pro-ceed and adversely impactTsawwassen residents.

Reporting the incidentto police, and then havingto deal with the local BMObranch, the disconcertingpieces quickly fell intoplace with police confirm-ing she had been followedby a couple who skillfullylooked over her shoulder asshe made a purchase usingher card at a Ladner store.

The same “shouldersurfing” pair, a well-dressed young couple withEuropean accents, encoun-tered her at a grocery storeparking lot a short timelater to ask for directions.They seemed like a normalcouple, possibly tourists,and asked her to draw amap. MacNutt didn’t thinkanything of it, getting apen out from her purse, butlater realized that’s whenthe distraction theft likelyoccurred.

It turns out that in theensuing days prior toMacNutt checking heraccount, the thieves werehard at work. Delta policeconfirmed that multipleATM withdrawals and pur-chases occurred over fourdays in Delta, Langley andVancouver. Three “fraudu-lent cheques” totaling$9,430, which were nothingmore than blank envelopes,were also deposited intoher account and the moneywithdrawn.

“I didn’t think anythingof them,” MacNutt said ofthe couple. “I didn’t noticethem in the store at all fol-lowing me. Yes, it’s con-cerning how they were fol-lowing me around, thinkingI was a senior easy to ripoff. They looked perfectlynormal and didn’t act suspi-ciously at all.

“How many other seniors

are they targeting? I do allthe right things and neverthought I’d be an easy tar-get, but they did. If it hap-pened to me, it can happento anybody.”

MacNutt had to gothrough an arduous processbut fortunately was reim-bursed by the bank. Nothappy her account wasn’tfrozen due to clearly suspi-cious activity, she said abig problem was the typeof account, one which hada large limit for cash with-drawals and doesn’t put ahold on deposited cheques.

MacNutt now has a newaccount with a lower dailywithdrawal limit and a holdon deposited cheques. Sherecommends seniors take alook at the type of accountsthey have and think aboutwhat they really need.

As far as being fol-lowed and her PIN numberobserved, as well as theslick distraction theft, shesaid seniors have to beeven more vigilant becausethere’s a chance someone is

stalking them.Const. Steve Wilson

with the Delta PoliceDepartment’s economic/technical crime unit saidthe tourist angle is one ofseveral cons for distractiontheft.

“Don’t leave valuables,including your wallet orpurse, out in the open andtrust your instincts. If itseems suspicious, don’thesitate to tell the peopleto go away and file a reportwith your local law enforce-ment agency,” he said.

Remembering to imme-diately put your debit cardback in your wallet orpurse, not writing downyour code, as well as fre-quently checking youraccount balance, are alsotips when it comes to pre-venting debit card fraud.Setting a low withdrawallimit on your account isalso a good idea.

Wilson said other tipsinclude watching out forshoulder surfers and usingyour hand or body to shieldothers from seeing yourtransaction. He also saidonly to conduct debit trans-actions when and whereyou feel secure, and ifanyone tries to distract youat a banking machine, com-plete what you’re doing andretrieve your card beforetalking to them.

The Canadian Code ofPractice for ConsumerDebit Card Services pro-tects consumers in theiruse of debit card services,clarifying consumer andindustry responsibilities.You could be liable, if, forexample, you do not reporta theft immediately or leaveyour PIN unsecured. You’renot liable in situations inwhich you were the victimof trickery, force, intimida-tion or theft.

The Tsawwassen teenbattling leukemia for thesecond time in two yearshas taken a turn for theworse.

Kyle McConkey, who isturning 18 this week, wasfirst diagnosed with acutelymphoblastic leukemia inJuly 2012, the day beforehis 16th birthday. Afterchemotherapy, radiation anda bone marrow transplant,followed by several monthsin hospital, McConkey’scancer was in remission.

Things were just start-ing to get back to normalfor the teen and his familywhen the cancer returned inApril.

“We were just beginningto see the light at the endof the tunnel,” mom JoanneMcConkey said earlier thisyear.

Initially, doctors werelooking to try anotherbone marrow transplant.However, the fam-ily was recently told thatMcConkey’s cancer is not

responding to treatment andthere is little more that canbe done.

Joanne McConkey, whoowns a housecleaning busi-ness, has not been able towork while caring for herson.

A trust account has

been set up at the EnvisionFinancial branch inTsawwassen to help thefamily cover costs duringthis time. Donations can bemade to account number313 460 or online at www.youcaring.com under KyleMcConkey.

Delta is still hopingto convince Port MetroVancouver there’s a viablealternative to container ter-minal expansion at RobertsBank.

For over a year, civic pol-iticians have been lobbyingin conjunction with theircounterparts in Ashcroft tolocate container expansionin the Interior community,which wants the business.

Delta has continued tohelp put forwarda business casefor the plan,holding a meet-ing a couple ofweeks ago atmunicipal hall.

The in-cam-era sessionfeatured a pairof guest speak-ers: Dr. DavidFung, directorof CentrePortCanada, whopresented perspectives fromthe Winnipeg Inland Port;and Johannes Vervloed,consult general of theNetherlands, who made apresentation on inland portsin his country.

Mayor Lois Jackson saidfurther meetings behindthe scenes are planned anda report from a consultant,looking at the economic,environmental and socialimpacts of port expansion,is being prepared.

“We’re moving along onthis and I’m hoping we’llhave the final report for acouncil presentation aroundSeptember,” she said.

Jackson and munici-pal officials were part ofa delegation that visitedAshcroft last year to checkout the terminal expansionproposal.

Delta organized the tour,with Lower Mainland port,rail and trucking officialsattending. An earlier meet-ing in Delta had variousstakeholders, as well asAshcroft Mayor AndyAnderson and the terminalowner, to discuss the alter-native link for the Asia-Pacific corridor.

“There are many posi-tive synergies for boththe Delta and Ashcroftcommunities in seeing thesuccessful developmentof the Ashcroft Terminal,”a previous Delta reportnoted. “For Delta it wouldmean the demand for landclose to Deltaport would be

lessened and there wouldbe fewer trucks travelingthrough the community andfor Ashcroft, it would meanmuch needed jobs and eco-nomic investment.”

The report also noted it’sa project that requires “out-side the box” thinking, butit must also be supported bya solid business case.

The Ashcroft Terminalexpansion proposal is beingpushed by some as a way toalleviate pressure to developfarmland here, which hascome about as a result of a

projected limitedsupply of indus-trial propertiesThe Ashcroft siteis being pitchedbecause it has thenecessary industri-al zoning in place,Canadian Nationaland CanadianPacific rail linesrunning through it,as well as the sup-port of neighbour-ing communities.

The Ashcroft Terminalwebsite states its expansionwould provide efficiency inthe Canadian logistics chainfor a wide range of ship-pers and producers, whilesupporting growth in theThompson-Nicola RegionalDistrict.

In May, an expansionproject at the AshcroftTerminal was completed,aimed at improving the flowof goods by rail.

Despite all that, PortMetro Vancouver has madeit clear it’s not interested inAshcroft.

In a report last year byAvison Young, Tom Corsie,vice-president of real estatefor PMV, threw cold wateron the proposal.

“It is our view that anew container terminal atRoberts Bank (Terminal2) is the most efficientway to provide additionallong-term capacity to thisgrowing sector. PMV iscurrently working with theproponents of the Ashcroftfacility, but it is unlikelythe economic developmentactivity they are pursuingwill involve the develop-ment of an inland containerterminal.”

A major component ofthe port’s plan to handle aprojected growth in contain-er traffic remains Terminal2, a proposed three-berthterminal that would beconstructed adjacent to theexisting Deltaport containerterminal at Roberts Bank.

The port authority,already having unveiled apreliminary design for T2,is still working on a numberof field studies in prepara-tion for an application. Itwill likely submit an envi-ronmental impact statementto Ottawa at the end of theyear, kicking off a lengthyenvironmental review.

Delta still in support ofinland port alternativeMunicipal politicians hope to spare Delta farmland bylocating container terminal expansion in Ashcroft

Not enoughmoney forthem all

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

So many heritage homes, yet so littlemoney.

News that time is running out for theKittson House, that stately structure onLadner Trunk Road near the Highway 99interchange, is disappointing but not ter-ribly surprising. The price tag to restoreone of Delta’s old beauties is prohibitive,costing in the hundreds of thousands ofdollars, so it takes someone, or somegroup, that not only has passion for theundertaking but also has deep enoughpockets to make it a reality.

That combination can be difficult tofind, which is why, unfortunately, thatyellow landmark thousands drive by on adaily basis could soon become a pile ofrubble.

There have been a few heritage struc-tures — the Kirkland and Cammidgehouses as well as the Harris Barn — thathave found saviours, but there have beenothers — the Smith residence at theentrance to Tsawwassen and the Friesenresidence on Trunk Road in East Ladnerare two recent ones that come to mind— that weren’t as lucky.

The previous owner of the KirklandHouse applied for a demolition permitwhen the century-old Arthur Drive homefell into disrepair, prompting volunteersto step in and save the day by formingthe Kirkland House Foundation. Thatwas more than 20 years ago, and whilethey’ve done a tremendous job with theirrestoration efforts, they’re still ongoing,demonstrating the time and money that’sneeded to bring one of these homes backto its original glory.

Delta managed to expedite the reloca-tion and restoration of the Harris Barn,which now sits adjacent to the KirklandHouse, but not everyone has access tothat kind of cash. And not even govern-ment has an endless supply of money,which is why members of Delta’sHeritage Advisory Commission continueto search for a Kittson House champion.

It’s been well over a year since thenew owners applied for a demolitionpermit, yet no one from the communityor beyond has stepped forward to savethe home built by pioneer Robert Kittsonback in 1907. The greenhouse operatorthat now owns the site has been patientlywaiting to see if there will be any takers,but the wrecking ball can only be held atbay for so long.

Unless a saviour materializes at the11th hour, which doesn’t seem likelyat this point, the Kittson House will,unfortunately, soon be just a memory. Asmuch as we’d like to preserve it and oth-ers throughout the municipality, there aresimply more historic structures than thereis the wherewithal to save them.

When I die, I want people tohave a good time at my funeral.

I see it as a laid-back, pet-friend-ly affair. Depending on how manypeople still like me by then, it willeither be held in a community hallor someone’s living room.

There will be a brief video per-haps set to some Bruce Springsteenor Chris Isaak music. Guests willwatch while sipping specialty cof-fees made by a barista hired by myloved ones for the occasion.

There will also be plenty ofchocolate and other assortedsweets, a range of mostly vegetar-ian or organic finger foods alongwith various flavours of sunflowerseeds.

People will be invited to sharejokes and tell stories about me untilthe coffee grows cold or the jokesbecome boring — whatever hap-pens first.

If this all seems a bit morbid oreven vulgar, then you haven’t been

to many funerals lately.Researchers from the University

of Hull began investigating thechanging social trends of modernfunerals several years ago, andfound that more and more peoplewere opting for a departure — nopun intended — from the standardsomber funeral program to a morejovial “celebration of life.”

The researchers attended 40funerals and found themselves lis-tening to live jazz bands, bagpipersand Abba more often than hymnssung by any church congregation.

My own experience with funer-als — including the celebration oflife we planned for my dad threeyears ago — echoes the findingsof those university researchers.Gathered at Ladner Fishermen’sHall, we sent him off with a 25-minute movie and his own song.My dad would have approved.

Not everyone lived as long as mydad, but many lived as wide, andthat was the case for my husband’sfriend and colleague, whose memo-rial we attended last weekend. Hisdeath was unexpected and unfair,making it so terribly tragic, yet hisfriends and family rallied to sup-port each other and mark his pass-ing in a way they thought he wouldhave wanted.

They assembled at a localLegion, where they took turns shar-

ing his life’s many joyful moments,which were highlighted by a sing-a-long to Trooper’s We’re Here ForA Good Time (Not a Long Time). Itwas a fittingly casual program thatwarmly remembered him as play-ful, talented and intelligent, with abounty of love for his children.

Social media also plays a rolein many modern memorials. Whena former co-worker of mine diedafter a long battle with cancerlast month, her friends turned toFacebook to post photos and fondmemories of their short time withher. There were probably morethan 200 posts from people she hadtouched; imagine the comfort thisprovided her family knowing theirdaughter, mother and sister leftsuch a legacy.

But these new funeral fashionsare not without critics. Researchingthis column, I came across numer-ous musings blaming narcissisticBaby Boomers for the demise ofthe traditional funeral, and sug-gesting the new ways are harm-ful because they minimize death,devalue life and circumvent thegrieving process.

Writing on his blog, one pastorcalled these consequences “gravedangers.” A clergical comedian!I may book him to speak at mycelebration of life, when the timecomes.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: New approach

needed to help those fall-ing through the net, MLA’s

Report, July 9Holy smokes! I didn’t

see that one coming. Couldit be that our purport-edly right-of-centre MLAin South Delta, VickiHuntington, is becoming asocialist? I hope so.

Her MLA’s Report sug-gests a guaranteed mini-mum income for those whoneed it most. She says oursystem needs an infusion ofcommon sense and compas-sion.

I agree completely,except for one big problem,which is the public’s per-ception that scammers willabuse such a system andwaste the taxpayers’ money.

This distrust is not help-ful and only serves to widenthe gap that legitimate folksare falling into. Maybe wecan turn our jaded attitudesaround with a foolproofscreening and enforcementprocess. Then it might flywith the voting public.

I also continue to be per-plexed by the aversion tothe word “socialist.” Afterall, we live in social democ-racy in Canada, althoughsometimes I wonder underPrime Minister StephenHarper’s heavy-handed rule.

According to Wikipedia,there are many types ofsocialism. Ours, it says,“tries to mix parts of com-munism with capitalism. Inmany countries that practicesocial democracy, specificservices and some indus-

tries are subsidized and/orpartially controlled by thegovernment. For example,education, health care,housing, utility companiesor public transportation aresome industries that mightbe owned/maintained by thegovernment in a socialistsystem. For the most part,people working in theseindustries are paid by thegovernment, with moneypaid by the people as taxes.Welfare is likely offeredunder socialism.”

That’s us, alright, and welike it, but there’s alwaysroom for improvement asour MLA suggests. Theremust be a committee outthere somewhere workingon this. If not, let’s startone.

Editor:Re: Bring South Delta

into Fraser Health bound-ary review: Huntington,

July 10It seems to me that MLA

Vicki Huntington has for-gotten that Delta is one city,not two.

Whether she likes it or

not, North Delta is part ofDelta, and any decision forDelta will affect both partsof our community.

For her to suggest it’sa good idea to break upDelta’s health care in thisway is unfathomable.

Delta — all of Delta— is a great place to live

and we should work to keepit that way.

I can’t understand whyHuntington would wantto perpetuate this divi-sion between North Deltaand South Delta by pittingone community’s servicesagainst the other’s.

Lori Mayhew

Editor:There is one very impor-

tant fact that has, I believe,not been mentioned in theopposition to the radio tow-ers: five schools are locatedin the blanketing interfer-ence area.

All schools have P.A.systems, wireless Internetand sound equipment that isused in many applications,including concerts, playsand sports days. P.A. setsare used to make announce-ments and most importantly

in emergency situations.All of these systems

are sensitive to AM radiointerference. When I wasteaching, a sound systemI had set up in the schoolgym picked up a broadcastby Dr. Laura. The nearesttransmitter was three milesaway, much further than theproposed transmitters wouldbe.

I believe any mitigatingefforts to alleviate problemswould prove to be difficult,if not impossible.

All levels of governmentmust make the utmost effortto prevent the construc-tion of these towers beforeoperation of electronicequipment in the schools isseverely compromised.

The FCC must be peti-tioned directly and theimminent impact to schoolsunderlined.

Additionally, the childrenin these schools will besubjected to strong radia-tion from these towers.

Editor:I am writing about the

plans for a 47-unit apart-ment building being pro-posed on 47A Avenue at48B Street.

This proposal is withinthe Ladner Area Plan andthe proposed density is asignificant departure fromthe existing plan. In fact, itis would be a 36 per centincrease in density from

current zoning.Additionally, the pro-

posal is for five storeyswith 76 parking stallsthat would be accessedfrom the lane behind theproposed building. Thereare no plans to handle theincreased traffic.

If this developer is suc-cessful in amending thedensity and height restric-tions in the Ladner Area

Plan, then the floodgateswill open. Our village andthe lovely character of itwill forever change — aprecedent will be set.

There is an informationmeeting tonight at 7 p.m.at the Ladner CommunityCentre. I urge Ladner resi-dents to attend this meetingand let your opinions beknown.

Lynne Webb

Editor:My family and I left

Richmond almost 20 yearsago to escape densityissues and developmentsthat ignored the existingneighbourhoods and areaplans.

We found Ladner, but

now it seems we may haveto leave Ladner due toDelta council’s inabilityto uphold the Ladner AreaPlan.

Good planning, withwell thought out infilldevelopment that is com-patible with its neighbours,

enhances the neighbour-hood and the community.

The five-storey apart-ment building proposedfor 47A Avenue ignoresthe Ladner Area Plan, theneighbours and any goodplanning.

Editor:Re: Liberal MLA should

stick to North Delta, letter

to the editor, July 11I am extremely irritated

at the recent publicity givento Delta North MLA ScottHamilton, and in particularseeing him standing by ahelicopter touring our farm-land.

Hamilton supported theSouthlands development,which sees a considerableloss of agricultural landin Tsawwassen, as we allknow.

I was pleased that ourSouth Delta MLA ensuredher voice was heard onSouthlands proposal atthe Metro Vancouver level

(via her staff member,Bernadette Kudzin). OurMLA listens to her con-stituents and serves us welland has always staunchlysupported agriculture.

Yes, it seems the Liberalparty cannot accept itsdefeat in South Delta. Iwould suggest it get overit and let us hear from ourown MLA, not the one forNorth Delta.

As Joan Green stated inher letter, North Deltansmust have plenty of theirown issues that requireattention.

Report, July 9Thank you, Vicki

Huntington, for yourinsightful column bringingattention to the problempeople on a disability faceevery day. It is the mostcomprehensive report wehave seen in our communityever.

I would like to add onemore problem the fewlucky ones who have anapartment face. Because somany people in the com-munity who have alcoholand addiction problems do

not have a place of theirown to live, they “couchsurf ” or look for a place toparty and this creates majorproblems for the people ondisability pensions. Thesepeople are very aggressiveand prey on our handi-capped people.

This should be a com-munity concern and thereshould be compassion outthere for our people, notjust another problem foistedon our overworked policeforce.

I’ve learned a new word,courtesy of a workmate.

This summer, she toldme, she’s going glampingwith her girlfriends.

“Did you say camping?”I asked.

No, she replied. She wasgoing glamping. She lookedat me carefully, seeminglypuzzled that I didn’t under-stand. Which I didn’t.

“You’ve never heard ofglamping?” she asked. “It’slike camping, except thatit’s not like camping. It’smore upscale. Much moreglamorous.”

The workmate informedme that on her getaway,there would be no tent to

pitch or tarps to unfurl. Sheand her pals would not behunting for firewood or set-ting out with a flashlightin search of a loo. Therewould be no axe, no mustysleeping bags, no air mat-tresses, no kerosene stove.

They would not bereturning home smellinglike a campfire, desper-ately needing a hot bath andcraving something otherthan hot dogs and chili.

The workmate and herfriends would be staying ina yurt. It would be outfit-ted with fluffy pillows andthick duvets and Persiancarpets and surround soundand WiFi and a walk-inshower and likely a chan-delier or two. Their mealswould be chef-made andserved, not on metal camp-ing plates, but on china din-nerware.

Sure, the yurt would beplaced in the great out-

doors, but its occupantswould be able to enjoy it ontheir terms. In other words,the environment would bespectacular — both insideand out.

“It is,”said theworkmate,“not aboutgettingdirty. Thisis luxury,plain andsimple.”

This, itseems tome, is theway camp-ing shouldhave been right from theget go.

I’ve never been a fan ofthe old-school model, andhave tended to avoid it.

Too much work, it alwaysseemed to me. You get up,rejig the tent supports thatwere repositioned in the

previous night’s wind storm.You put on bug spray, fetchwood, start a fire, boilwater, make breakfast, washthe dishes, sweep the dirtout of the tent, fold up the

sleeping bags,wait in lineto get into ashower andread two pagesof your maga-zine. Then it’stime for lunch.

Glamping,it ain’t.

But theworkmate, Ithink, is onto something.

Having someone else makethe food, clean the sleep-ing quarters and set the firemay not exactly qualify forroughing it, but what theheck.

If this is what camping’scome to, I may just try itafter all.

Camping goes glamorous withduvets and chef-made mealsGlamping in your own yurt allows you to enjoy outdoors on your terms

What is the activity? Swimming

Where and when does this take place? Ladner Leisure Centre

How often do you participate? 1-2 days per week.

How long have you been involved? Since I was a child.

Why did you get involved in this activity? Swimming promotes ahealthy lifestyle, and I enjoy soaking in the hot tub after a long day atwork.

What do you like best about this activity? It is relaxing and takes mymind off of everyday stress.

How does it benefit your life? It reduces my stress level and I feelmuch better after I swim.

What other things do you do to keep active? Run, bike, hike andski.

Did you know that, in addition to the physical health benefits,swimming is also very beneficial for the mind? The regular rhythmof the stroke, the immersion in the water and the concentration onthe technique quickly feel like a relaxing meditation in the water. Itrequires the alternating stretch and relaxation of skeletal muscles whilesimultaneously deep-breathing in a rhythmic pattern. These are thekey elements of relaxation used in many practices, including yoga. Inthe long term, swimming is also great for stress relief because it is acardiovascular workout that helps to increase the size of the lungs. Byincreasing lung size, breathing becomes deeper and, the deeper thebreath, the more relaxed we become. Perhaps equally as important,swimming is a social sport that can be a lot of fun!

Emma Lea Farms onWestham Island hosted aspecial Canada Day eventwhere all proceeds fromtheir ice cream stand wentto help children with spe-cial needs.

Through the sale of theirfamous ice cream conesand milkshakes, Emma LeaFarms raised $2,305 forthe Reach Child and YouthDevelopment Society’scampaign to build a childdevelopment centre in theheart of Ladner.

“We really learned whatReach was all about at thefundraiser with Chris Gailus

last year, and how muchthey help children and fam-ilies,” said Joanne Husbandof Emma Lea Farms. “Wehave three grandchildrenand one on the way, andknow that it’s all about thekids. Canada Day was aperfect day because it is foreveryone.”

Husband added that heremployees also wanted togive back to the communityand chipped in some oftheir own cash to the fund-raiser.

Reach is a non-profitchildren’s charity that hasbeen providing programsand resources to childrenwith disabilities like autismand Down syndrome since1959. Its current facility

is difficult for families toaccess and is not designedto meet the growing needsof the community.

“Emma Lee Farms’ dona-tion will be put to gooduse helping to build a newchild development centrein Ladner,” said Reachexecutive director RenieD’Aquila. “This centre willallow more children andyouth to receive help andbecome contributing com-munity members.”

Close to the halfwaymark of its $4 million goal,Reach is looking to thecommunity to bring it clos-er. For more about Reachservices and the buildingproject visit www.reachde-velopment.org.

More than 150 localresidents now know how topotentially save someone’slife after a community CPRevent last month.

Muscle Memory inTsawwassen hosted a seriesof 30-minute sessions toteach locals how to performCPR as well as how to usean automatic external defi-brillator (AED).

Tsawwassen residentStephen Nordin, a retiredVancouver firefighter, hasbeen working out at MuscleMemory for several years.Recently, Nordin decided hewanted to do something togive back to the community

and he bought an AED, aportable electronic devicethat can automaticallycheck a person experienc-ing a life-threatening heartproblem and, if needed,administer an electricalshock.

It is designed so anyonecan use it, regardless ofwhether they have any firstaid or AED training.

Nordin approachedMuscle Memory owner RobGillespie about donating theAED to the training studioand the two came up withthe idea to hold an event tooffer some basic first aidtraining.

The Boundary BayAirshow takes flightSaturday with plenty ofhigh-flying action.

There will be four-and-a-half hours of flying thisyear, notes airshow coordi-nator Susan McLaren.

“That’s fantastic,” shesays, adding there will be amix of new and returningperformers taking part inthe event at Boundary BayAirport.

Highlights include wingwalker Carol Pilon alongwith pilots “Super Dave”Mathieson, Jon Melby andGary Ward.

“We have really high

caliber performances thisyear,” says McLaren.

Besides the spectacles inthe sky there will be vintageaircraft displays, children’sactivities, autograph tent,food vendors and more.

Admission and parkingare free. Guests are asked tocarpool if possible becauseparking will be at a pre-mium, McLaren says.

She advises spectators tobring a fold up chair, lots ofsunscreen and a hat.

“You’re on the tarmac sothe sun really radiates,” shesays.

Bringing along a wind-breaker is also not a badidea.

“Sometimes it really doesget quite windy at the air-

port,” she explains.The show received sup-

port from about 30 localsponsors this time aroundand organizers are verypleased with the help, shesays.

Boundary Bay Airport islocated at 7800 Alpha Wayin East Ladner. Gates openat 10:30 a.m. with demon-strations starting at 11 a.m.Pets are not permitted.

Gary Ward and hisamazing MX2 are return-ing to Delta for Saturday’sBoundary Bay Airshow.

The MX2 is the latest inunlimited aerobatic aircraft:strong, fast and agile. Theentire airframe is construct-ed of aerospace quality car-bon fiber to provide maxi-mum strength and stiffnesswith minimum weight.The MX2 is powered bya Lycoming engine modi-fied by LYCON to producemore than 350 horsepower.

Ward puts the MX2

through one of the mostexciting performances youwill ever see, the actionstarting with a steep climbon take off.

The entire sequence ispacked with gyrations thatrange from zero speed hov-ers to dives in excess of 250mph.

The MX2 is so power-ful that at the end of aninverted flat spin, rotationis stopped and the MX2will fly out, inverted, with-out the nose ever droppingbelow the horizon.

Dave Mathieson, betterknown as “Super Dave”in the airshow commu-nity, will entertain in hisScheyden MX2 at theBoundary Bay Airshow.

Mathieson flew forAir Canada Jazz forfive years but found thejob too boring, and thecompany frowned upondoing aerobatics with100 people in the backof the plane. He soonleft Air Canada Jazz andwent on to become theco-owner and president ofSummit Air Charters inYellowknife.

After selling his sharesin Summit, Mathieson isliving his dream of beinga full-time performer.

The Scheyden MX2a carbon fiber, two-seattandem sport aircraft thatoffers greater perfor-mance and utility thanany other aircraft in itsclass.

In production since2005, the MX2 has accu-mulated thousands ofhours of rigorous flighttime and has proven itselfa rugged design both inaerobatic competitionsand airshows worldwide.

return to more seasonal conditions — a mix of sun and cloud andtemperatures in the low 20s — for the rest of the week.The Optimist asked:

For Sam Thauli, lacrosseis more than just a sport.It’s a way of life.

Volunteers are whatprovide the pulse of com-munity sports organiza-tions and none are morededicated than this longtimeLadner resident. For thethird straight year, he isbehind the bench coachingtwo teams – the Senior “B”Ladner Pioneers and Junior“B” Delta Islanders.

It was another typicalstretch for Thauli that sawhim with the Pioneers on aSunday night in Nanaimo,then at Sungod Arena 24hours later for an Islanders’playoff game. He had threemore games on tap over thenext four days, never mindpractices.

Think about that whenyou’re enjoying a summerevening at the beach or hav-ing a backyard barbecue.

“I have a pretty under-standing wife,” Thaulismiled. “She is good withall of this and really sup-portive.”

Thauli is doing it to sim-ply ensure today’s playershave the same opportunityhe enjoyed growing up.

He was on one of theoriginal Ladner Pioneersback in the early 1980s andhasn’t left the organizationsince – holding down rolesas a player, head coachand now assistant. He alsoplayed for the Junior “B”Islanders and is now watch-ing his son Jordan be oneof the key players as Delta

contends for the provincialchampionship.

“(Growing up) each oneof us had opportunities butwe all stuck together andthe (Burr family) startedthe Pioneers to keep allthe homegrown guys,” saidThauli, who works close tohome too as a surveyor forDelta.

“I got my chances to playin the WLA and junior ‘A’as well but it was really

all about staying at home.I guess you could say Ihave a real passion for thegame.”

With his involvement inboth teams, Thauli is ensur-ing the door is open to stayin Ladner for graduatingjunior players. The Pioneershave called several playersup during the season – apractice that wasn’t alwaysthe case in the past.

The Pioneers continue

to be one of the top clubsin the West Coast SeniorLacrosse Associationdespite a makeover that hasbrought the team’s averageage to around the mid-20s.

“It’s been a good situa-tion getting some of theseguys into a Pioneer uniformand letting them play,” hesaid. “It gives them thechance to think about play-ing (senior) in their back-yard. Right now I see kids I

coached in minor now play-ing for the Pioneers. It’s ahometown opportunity anda chance to still play goodball too.”

The Junior “B” Islandersrolled past North Shore instraight games and will beheavily favoured to win asemi-final series againstPort Moody, setting up ashowdown with Coquitlamor Richmond for the leaguechampionship. The winner

will go to provincials inVernon over the B.C. Dayweekend.

The Pioneers are alsocapable of a deep playoffrun that could take them tothe President’s Cup nationalchampionships Aug. 25 to31.

That would take Thauli’slacrosse commitments rightthrough the summer. Hewouldn’t want it any otherway.

The Ladner Pioneers willopen their postseason cam-paign tonight against theNorth Shore Indians.

The opening game of thebest-of-three West CoastSenior Lacrosse Associationquarterfinal series is set for

8 p.m. at Sungod Arena inNorth Delta.

Game 2 will take placeat West Vancouver Arena

with Game 3 back in NorthDelta if necessary.

The Pioneers, with aregular season record of 13-

5-1, enter the series as thethird seed while the NorthShore comes in as the sixthseed. The Indians finished

with a record of 7-11-0.The teams met twice in

the regular season, eachwinning once.

Ladner Pioneers begin playoffs tonight in matchup against North Shore at Sungod
