It looks like enrollment declinewon’t be as bad as projected forthe Delta school district.

Staff provided trustees withpreliminary numbers last weekon how the 2010/11 school yearis shaping up. Overall, the districtis down about 180 students, saidassistant superintendent GarnetAyres, a figure that could havebeen much higher.

“I’ll put that into the contextthat with almost 1,400 studentsleaving Grade 12 last year, gradu-ating, and less than a thousand

students coming into kindergar-ten, we had a potential drop of460. Our school district droppedfar less than that,” Ayres said.

“So we are doing a lot to attractstudents and people are arriving toDelta, students are coming fromacross the Scott Road corridor,students are returning from pri-vate school in the public system,so we have done a lot to bufferthat kind of drop.”

In the next four to five yearsthe student population should flat-ten out and stabilize, he noted.

District enrollment stands at alittle under 16,000, down from ahigh of almost 19,000 students 30

years ago.Regarding classroom com-

position, B.C. school districtsare required to maintain a classsize average in kindergarten at amaximum of 19, while grades 1to 3 can’t exceed 21 students andgrades 4 to 7 can’t exceed 28.Ayres said Delta has met thoserequirements with the districtaverage for kindergarten at 17.2,grades 1 to 3 at 20.7 and grades 4to 7 at 27.1.

In grades 8 through 12, theaverage Delta class size is 26.

Ministry of Education rulesstipulate that in grades 4 to 7,a class is allowed to exceed 30

but only with the consent of theteacher. In high school, a classmay exceed 30 after the teacheris consulted, but consent isn’trequired.

Ayres noted no classes, as oflate September, were over 30 stu-dents in elementary schools.

In high schools, out of 1,819classes, 216 had over 30 students,with 12 having the most at 34pupils.

When it comes to special needsstudents, of the 369 elementaryschool classes in Delta, 69 havemore than three students withsome form of special need. Inhigh school, 453 classes have

three or more students with spe-cial needs.

Trustee Simon Truelove saidit was a “very worrying statistic”that some classes have so manyspecial needs students, but Ayressaid principals are monitoringthose classes to ensure an appro-priate learning situation.

The number of English as asecond language students hasincreased slightly to 1,389.

The district is also expectedto have around 260 interna-tional students this year as well asabout 500 aboriginals, including50 from the Tsawwassen FirstNation.

The Tsawwassen Rotary Clubis getting closer to its fundrais-ing goal for a water park atDiefenbaker Park.

The project has a price tag of$275,000 and Rotary is comingup with half of that amount in anagreement with Delta, said VickieSangster, chairperson of theRotary WaterWorks project.

The club has about $50,000 leftto raise, she said in an interviewlast week.

She’s hoping local groupsmight want to help Rotary reachthat target.

Decline not as big as projectedDelta’s school enrollment down by about 180 as efforts to attract students prevent an even larger decrease

Funding transit in theLower Mainland is a finan-cial conundrum.

That’s what Mayor LoisJackson had to say lastweek as TransLink contin-ued to make news for seem-ingly all the wrong reasons.

Last Thursday, TransLinkasked Metro Vancouvermayors to help pay for twonew transit system options,which include building themuch-talked about $1.4 bil-lion Evergreen Line.

TransLink’s presentationto the mayors’ committeedrove home a message thatan increase is needed on theTransLink portion of prop-erty tax bills.

It was widely reportedmayors immediately balkedat the request, which wouldsee up to $9 extra year per$100,000 assessed valueadded to residential prop-erty taxes.

Metro mayors had onlyrecently signed a memo-randum of understandingwith the province for thetwo sides to work togetherto find funding sources forthe Evergreen Line as wellas funding the transit sys-tem. The mayors were thenasked for additional taxmoney, something they hadvehemently opposed previ-

ously.Prior to last Thursday’s

meeting, Jackson, whochairs the regional boardof directors, wondered iffuture options would notonly include vehicle leviesand tolls, but also tollingexisting crossings such asthe George Massey Tunnel,which she wouldn’t support.

“It really is a conundrumbecause the jobs are down-town but they don’t wantany cars downtown, theywant bicycles and that’s notjust possible for us,” saidJackson.

“Pay as you go hasalways been in the back ofmy mind. However, if youthink about people on lowwages and fixed incomesand the only job they canget is in North Vancouver,should they have to pay atoll for the Massey Tunnel

or Alex Fraser? Thenyou have to go over theQueensborough and SecondNarrows (bridges), so whendoes that end?”

Jackson said TransLinkisn’t accountable to theelectorate, so she’s not pre-pared to approve any fur-ther taxation on residents,especially considering thecurrent service level southof the Fraser River.

“In any other places ofthe world where it’s muchmore compact, it’s mucheasier to justify the expen-diture on transit. When youlook at the Lower Mainland,it’s a huge area with rela-tively few people when youconsider the other majorcentres of the world thathave a lot of rapid transit ora lot of buses.

“The rest of us in theoutlying suburbs have to gointo that city core but wedon’t have any buses outhere. It really is a planningconundrum and that’s oneof the reasons I was so con-cerned TransLink was doingthe planning for transporta-tion without a real mandatefor planning, which isdone at the regional districtlevel,” Jackson said.

Last fall, regional mayorsagreed to give TransLinkadditional funding to main-tain the status quo on ser-vices.

Film crews were busy in Tsawwassen last Friday filming the American TV series Hellcats at the56th Street Pharmasave. Starring Alyson Michalka, Ashley Tisdale, Robbie Jones and Matt Barr,the comedy-drama is based on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleadersby Kate Torgovnick. The series is about Marti Perkins, a pre-law college student who has to join acheerleading team, the Hellcats, in order to maintain her scholarship. The CW Television Networkwill carry the series for the 2010-11 season.

“As far as the fundraisinggoes, we’d love to have thecommunity get involved,”she said.

Plans include a children’swater play area, a wadingpond and a meanderingstream that passes under abridge. The addition would

be located on the east sideof the park between thedriveway/parking lot and56th Street.

Council gave preliminaryapproval to a conceptualdesign last year.

“Rotary’s always lookingfor community projects.

This particular projectwas suggested becauseTsawwassen is the onlycommunity in Delta thatdoesn’t have a water park,”said Sangster.

“It was felt that it wouldbe an excellent additionto the Diefenbaker Parklocation because it’s such apopular spot for many com-munity events already,” she

added.Diefenbaker is already

used for events like theBusiness ImprovementAssociation’s outdoormovie series and the LionsClub’s annual Canada Daycelebration.

Sangster said the clubplans to showcase howRotary assists Third Worldcountries with clean water

initiatives.“There will be story-

boards throughout the parkand interactive exhibitsthat will demonstrate howRotary helps other people.”

The club is hoping theproject will be completedby June 2011.

Those interested in help-ing the group reach itsfundraising goal can contact

Sangster at [email protected] or 604-943-7187.

She said there’s a cardiocircuit fundraiser sched-uled for Oct. 30 at MuscleMemory in Tsawwassenand that Rotary has set upan account at the bottlereturn depot in Tsawwassen.The account number thereis 69.

Joshua Berner was foundguilty Monday of second-degree murder in the stab-bing death of BenjaminWarland last year inRichmond.

Berner is the son ofCarol Berner, who wasconvicted in July of drivingdrunk when she struck andkilled four-year-old AlexaMiddelaer in East Ladnerin 2008.

Carol Berner will be sen-tenced Nov. 8. Her son isscheduled to be sentencedDec. 3.

After learning ofMonday’s verdict, DavidTarnow, Berner’s lawyer,said he and Berner’s familywere devastated.

“There was a very largeamount of evidence put for-ward to the jury about howBerner had to defend him-self against Mr. Warland,”Tarnow said. “I thought itwas a very clear case ofself-defence and I’m verydisappointed that the jurydidn’t see it that way.”

Defence and Crownwrapped up their argumentslast Thursday.

Warland, 23, was founddead in the yard of a housenear Cambie and Dallynroads. He had several cuts,but it was a deep pen-etrating stab wound to histemple that killed Warland,who was the father of ayoung boy.

Berner, 26, and his friendChristian Olegario testifiedthat Warland started a fightwith them around 11:20p.m. on Jan. 31, 2009.

The three young men,who did not know eachother, rode the same bustogether. When they got offon Cambie Road, Bernerand Olegario claim Warlandcame up behind them and,while they were stoppedat a crosswalk, sucker-punched Olegario, knockinghim unconscious.

Berner testified thathe turned to see Warlandarmed with a knife. Thetwo men fought and Bernereventually got the upperhand, ending up on top ofWarland, having wrestledthe knife away from him.

He testified that he“punched” Warland twicein the head with the knife inhis hand.

Berner sustained a seri-ous knife wound to hisinner left thigh.

“Mr. Berner did what hehad to do,” Tarnow said lastweek. “He was saving him-self and his friend.”

Police, having receiveda call about two men fight-ing, arrived within minutesand spoke to Olegario andBerner before letting themgo.

RCMP did not real-ize there was a third per-son involved — Warland— who lay dying in a swalein the front yard of a houseon Cambie.

A Delta resident died over the long weekend after asingle-vehicle crash near Manning Park.

The crash occurred at around 5:40 p.m. on Saturday onHighway 3 about 20 kilometres west of Manning Park.

A late model Dodge quad cab pickup was traveling easton Highway 3 when the vehicle failed to negotiate a curveand went off the road and down a steep embankment.

The driver, a 56-year-old Richmond man, and the rearpassenger, a 43-year-old from Delta, were pronounceddead at the scene.

A third passenger, a 32-year-old Richmond man and theson of the driver, was the lone survivor and only receivedminor injuries.

The crash is still under investigation and the names ofthe victims have not been released.

The cause of the crash has not yet been determined,however, police said speed is considered to be a contribut-ing factor.

Delta police are inves-tigating an incident inTsawwassen where a manapproached a young girland identified himself as apolice officer.

Last Wednesday at 8:40a.m., an eight-year-old girlwas approached by a manin the 200-block of 52AStreet. This man stated hewas a police officer butwas not in uniform. He pre-sented what appeared to bea badge.

He spoke with the younggirl but did not make anyattempt to grab her or fol-low her after their briefconversation.

Police say the youngsterdid the right thing by listen-ing to her instincts to keepwalking toward the school.

She did not report theincident immediately toschool staff. The younggirl’s parent notified the

school the following day,which subsequently calledthe school liaison officer.

The man is described asCaucasian, 5’8-5’9, 35-45years old, clean cut, shorthair, no facial hair, andaverage height and buildwearing jeans and a T-shirt.The man produced a goldor yellowish badge frominside a black wallet.

At this time police areunable to confirm whetherthe man was a police offi-cer. As a proactive andprecautionary measure,a notice went home withstudents of Pebble HillElementary on Friday tomake parents aware of thisincident.

Police remind parentsthat it is recommended thatif children are walking toschool that they be accom-panied by either an adult orin the company of others.

Delta’s civic politiciansapproved the permits need-ed to allow the constructionof a new concession standat Centennial Beach lastweek.

Metro Vancouver hasbeen working on the plans

for the building for morethan two years.

Initially, the regionaldistrict had been planningto construct a washroom/concession building thatincluded a new destina-tion-style restaurant on top.However, after about twoyears, the regional districtwasn’t able to find a suit-

able private partner for therestaurant and the plan hasbeen shelved.

Area parks managerMitch Sokalski said recent-ly the new concessionbuilding would have changerooms and washrooms aswell as a food concessionwith some inside seating.He also said it might be

possible to add a restaurantin the future.

The old concession is tobe demolished.

The new building, whichwill be situated just north ofthe expanded playground, isslated to open next July.

Local optometrists Dr.Joan Hansen, Dr. GiuliaDeVuono and Dr. MelanieScott of TsawwassenOptometry Clinic are dedi-cated in their support of theWorld Sight Day Challengeto help give sight to peoplein developing countries.

On World Sight Day,Thursday, Oct. 14, the prac-tice will be donating allexam fees to help provideeye exams and glasses tochildren who can’t see tolearn at school and adultsthat can’t see to provide fortheir families.

Optometry Giving Sight,the organizer of the WorldSight Day Challenge, fundsprograms that train localeye care professionals anddevelop vision centres thatprovide permanent visioncare to people in desperateneed. There are 670 mil-lion people that are blindor vision impaired simplybecause they don’t haveaccess to an eye examina-tion and the glasses theyneed.

“I have supportedOptometry Giving Sight forseveral years and am proudto support such a worth-while cause,” said Hansen.“It’s easy to take vision carefor granted here in Canada,so taking the World SightDay Challenge is a greatway to raise funds to givesight to people who don’thave access to the visioncare my patients do.”

Optometry Giving Sightguarantees that 85 percent of all funds raisedby optometrists and theirpatients go directly to pro-grams that give sight tothose most in need.

Delta Southis ahead ofthe curve

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

The Liberals are still months removedfrom even the halfway point of their four-year term, but speculation surroundingthe 2013 provincial election is alreadyrampant. With opinion polls confirm-ing an exodus from Gordon Campbell’sbandwagon, it’s prompted previouslyfringe parties to position themselves aslegitimate options for those orphanedright-of-centre voters.

There’s a significant segment of theelectorate that’s not keen on the Liberalsbut also doesn’t fancy the NDP. Thinkback 20 years to how the Liberals gottheir foot in the door as a palatablealternative to the Socreds and you cansee the fertile political ground the B.C.Conservative and B.C. First parties arehoping to capture.

It will be interesting to see what hap-pens in Delta South given we appear tobe four years ahead of the curve withregards to rejecting the current govern-ment. The ground was plenty fertile inthese parts a year-and-a-half ago whenindependent Vicki Huntington beatcabinet minister Wally Oppal thanksprimarily to the support of disenchantedLiberals.

If traditional Liberal voters jump shipacross the province in 2013 as manyseem poised to do, they’ll be lookingfor that right-of-centre option, whichHuntington has already provided to thevoters of Delta South.

Does that mean the fledgling rightwing parties leave this area alone, fear-ing a further split of the vote? Or perhapsthey’ll attempt to entice Huntington tojoin their ranks, which would providethem with instant legitimacy by havingan MLA in the legislature in exchangefor giving the independent a support net-work she doesn’t currently enjoy.

Whatever the case, Huntington isundoubtedly in an enviable position. Shemight have had a difficult time tryingto sell an independent stance for a sec-ond time in 2013, particularly if Liberalfortunes had improved, but with theirapproval rating going the other way, it’slikely she’ll continue to pick up that sup-port.

And with an established alternativealready here, it doesn’t make much sensefor the upstart parties to invade as they’donly muddy the waters and open the doorfor the Liberals or, if there’s a three- orfour-way fracture of the right, possiblyeven the NDP.

There’s still a lot of time before thenext election, and much could happenbetween now and then, but with MP JohnCummins lending a hand to the B.C.Conservatives, it wouldn’t surprise me ifHuntington finds herself being courtedonce again.

There is an old bluegrass songthat laments: “I am weary, letme rest.” Weary, as defined inWebster’s Dictionary, is “exhaustedin strength, endurance, vigor orfreshness.” It’s a state I think agreat deal of the world’s populationis feeling.

South Delta, as a whole, hasevery right to have a sense ofweariness because we’ve hadissues and projects dumped on usin seemingly unending numbers,especially over the last 20 years.They have included port expan-sion, the loss of arable farmland, ahighway expansion that will polluteand further divide our communitiesfrom each other, huge power linespushed through a neighbourhood,an assault on Burns Bog and, inTsawwassen, an area plan processthat only served to create confu-sion. In Ladner, there have been

dredging issues, density concerns,school closures and harbour rede-velopment.

Will there ever be respite fromthe constant wrangling and endlessproposals and schemes? Will we, asa community, ever stopbeing run over by thosewho tell residents thatonce again we need totake one for the team?

Is the time and moneyspent at seeminglyunending meetings, ral-lies and research thattakes them away fromthe comfort of hearthand home of any benefitto anyone in the longrun? Does that involve-ment ever really countand make a differenceanyway?

At some point thosewho speak out will askthemselves those veryquestions and wonderif it has been or will beworth it to protect the communitythey love and prevent it from beingjust another Metro Vancouver sub-urb.

Is it worth attending the upcom-ing Oct. 26 public hearing intothe Tsawwassen Area Plan? Yes.

There are some huge changesproposed. Likely the Southlandswill stay agricultural, but this areaplan also greatly extends the towncentre and unbelievably allows formulti-family development along

the B.C. Hydropower lineright-of-way.Delta plannersare asking us toapprove puttingmore peoplealong a cor-ridor that onlytwo years agoDelta councilexpressed seri-ous concernsabout.

I see thereturn of youngfamilies headedby formerSouth Deltayouth who left,only to real-ize this boring

jewel is a wonderful place to raisea family.

I thank those of you who areweary. Remember this quote fromMartin Luther King Jr., “Our livesbegin to end the day we becomesilent about things that matter.”

Now is not the time for wearySouth Deltans to give up fight

Letters to the Editor

Editor:A couple of recent items

in the Optimist lead me toconclude the Corporationof Delta just has too muchmoney.

In the Oct. 2 issue theOptimist reported Delta ispurchasing two hybrid SUVvehicles for inspectors toconduct suite investigationsat a cost of $77,000. Onewonders why a suite inves-tigator can’t get around in,say, a two-door hatchback.Are they looking for off-road suites?

This gem was followedin the Oct. 6 issue frontpage announcement that themayor, chief administra-tive officer and an assistantare jetting off to India foran economic developmentmission to Mangalore ata cost of $64,475, eventhough planning directorSean McGill told me Deltahas no known economicties with Mangalore andthe Corporation of Deltaproduces no products orextra-urban services thatMangalore might purchase.

The rationale for the jun-ket is that Mangalore has an

airport and a port. So doesVancouver, and it’s closer.

McGill argues the trip isOK as the province is pick-ing up the first $50K (and,of course, we don’t pay taxto the province). Delta is“only” spending $15K or soto produce a promotionalvideo to take along starringthe mayor and CAO as wellas printing a few thousandbrochures (many of whichare being left here).

While I don’t envy any-body a 15-hour airplaneride, the lack of an evidentpurpose for the trip leadsme to conclude it is partjunket and part raising theprofile for the mayor inNorth Delta’s East Indiancommunity for next year’selection.

Delta doesn’t need hybridSUVs for its inspectors andit doesn’t need its mayorand CAO jetting off to Indiafor a few days on a junketwith no objective.

The Corporation of Deltaneeds to get back to basics,and a tax cut would force ameasure of restraint on thecivic administration.

Steve Graham

Delta spending likeit has lots of cash

Editor:Re: Community shaken

to its core, Murphy’s Law,Oct. 6

In all the letters I havesubmitted to this paper I donot mince my words.

So while I do agree witheverything said in the edito-rial, I do object to the useof the term “tragedy” whendiscussing the brutal mur-der of a young woman.

I was perusing the Sept.12 and 13, 2001 editions ofthe Vancouver Sun recentlyand was annoyed at howmany times foreign leadersand Canadian politicians ofall parties referred to theterrorist massacre as “cow-

ardly” and “tragic.”Why do public officials

and certain sections of themedia deliberately under-state the obvious when hor-rific events transpire? Arethey afraid they are goinghurt the feelings of a psy-chopath?

To call the murder ofthe innocent a “tragedy”is to characterize it as anaccident where no one isto blame. Murder is neveraccidental.

Laura Szendrei’s deathwas a calculated, monstrousatrocity. It must be pros-ecuted and punished withthe utmost ferocity.

Steven Austin

Murder more than tragedy

Editor:We write to express our

admiration for the recently-installed roadside “Delta”signs.

These signs are bright,attractive, simple and

uncluttered and are muchmore appealing to us thanthe previous signs.

Our congratulations to allwho designed, approved andinstalled these signs.

Attention homeowners: All plumbers are not alike!“The 5 Things Plumbers Do That Drive Everyone Crazy ...

And How Campbell Care Solves Them”(What everyone home owner should know before you call any plumber)

Voice Mail. Or even worse, some plumbers use an answeringmachine. Then you have to wait and hope they will call youback. At Campbell Care our phones are staffed so you canalways talk to a live person.

Wasted Time. Most plumbers won’t give you a real appoint-ment time. They say “We’ll be there between 10 and 4.” So youhave to waste a whole day waiting. Not any more! You get aprecise “Appointment Window” when you call us. You don’twaste a lot of time waiting.

Too Many Trips. Other plumbers can make 2 or 3 tripsbefore they have the right parts to fix your problem. This costsyou extra money and frustration. We stock our trucks with185% more parts so we can fix the real problem 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 longerhe takes. Only at Campbell Care do you get Straight ForwardPricingTM. This shows you the exact amount before the workbegins so you can decide. My plumber will even show you sev-eral 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 guaranteeexpires. Not with Campbell Care With us you have a 100%SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. If you are unhappy for AnyReason -- I will redo the repair for FREE.

“I promise to provide you with far greater value than any plumbingcompany. My goal is 100% satisfaction and I will be satisfied withnothing less.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:On Oct. 1 I had the plea-

sure of attending the annualScholarship Night at DeltaSecondary. It was an amaz-ing event that showcasedthe generously benevolentattitudes of our wonder-ful citizens towards youngpeople.

An eye-popping $79,675worth of scholarships werehanded out to 80 gradu-ates. These young studentsboasted impressive gradepoint averages and upwardsof 1,000 volunteer hours.It was a testament to theimpressive nature of the up

and coming generation.A special mention must

be made to the talents ofKiana Passmore, whosebeautiful voice charmed theaudience with O Canadaand at the intermission.

Additionally, I wanted tolet the parents of our com-munity know that DeltaSecondary goes the extramile to help parents tap intothe knowledge of how toapply for these scholarshipfunds in a workshop offeredby Yvette Livingston, thecareer and post secondarycounsellor, which takesplace on Oct. 18 and 19,

from 7 to 9 p.m. at SouthDelta Secondary. For moreinformation go to http://www.deltasd.bc.ca/de/PAC/parent.htm.

I can personally speak tothe caliber of the course andLivingston’s helpfulness. Inthese economic times, beingable to find additionalfunds for children’s post-secondary training is hugelybeneficial.

Lastly, a big thank youto DSS for providing sucha well organized and enjoy-able evening.

Editor:Re: Recallers don’t rep-

resent majority in B.C., let-ter to the editor, Sept. 29William Perry points

out that the signatures onthe HST petition represent24 per cent of registeredvoters. Whether or not themajority of registered B.C.voters are for or against theHST is not known.

What I do know, how-

ever, is:• A minimum of 10 per

cent of all registered vot-ers in all 85 ridings wererequired to sign.

• The canvassers were allvolunteers who collectedsignatures in their own freetime.

• There was never theintent to obtain signaturesfrom the majority of voters,nor would there have been

time to do so.The recall campaigns

must meet certain require-ments in order to be suc-cessful. If and when indi-vidual MLAs do face recall,it will be a decision by themajority of registered votersin those ridings.

This will clearly not, asPerry alludes, be the minor-ity dictating to the majority.

You see them more andmore — at least, I do.

They’re the fitness walk-ers. They’re the folks whomarch all over town, run-ners on their feet and skipoles in their hands. Nevermind that it’s October.Never mind that tempera-tures are still in the doubledigits. Never mind there’sisn’t a chairlift for milesaround, let alone a moun-tain.

They’re still focused onthe ski walk.

“Uh, I don’t get it,” Isaid to my husband the lasttime we drove past a coupledoing the ski-pole walkthing.

“It’s called Nordic walk-ing,” my husband said.“Apparently, it’s a really,really good workout.”

Maybe. But I still don’tget it. If I wanted to get areally good walking work-

out, I think I’d be inclinedto carry some other kind ofsporting equipment. Like arowing machine, say. Or agoalie net. Or a treadmill.

“And why would it haveto be something related tosports, anyway?” I won-dered aloud. “Why aren’twe seeing walkers carryingbig-screen TVs? Or bedsidetables? Man, you could getreally, really fit carryinga bedside table around theblock a few times.”

The husband gave me alook.

“I think,” he said, “thatthe poles force you to swingyour arms and maintaingood posture. You wouldn’tbe able to swing your armsif you carried a bedsidetable.”

“Point taken,” I said.“But you’d be able to swingthem if you carried, oh, acouple of toasters. Whyaren’t we seeing people car-rying toasters?”

The husband gave me alook. For the second time inthe space of 15 seconds.

“Because,” he said, “mostpeople have only one toast-er. And that toaster is usu-

ally on the kitchen counter,often with a bagel in it.”

“I guess,” I said. “Andbesides, you might trip onthe cord.”

We drove on. We passeda man and woman grip-ping — you guessed it— ski poles. They lookeddecidedly focused on theirmarch. They did not lookremotely embarrassed, asI might have been if I wasdoing the ski thing withoutwearing skis.

“See?” my husbandasked. “They had reallygood posture. You can’t sayenough about really goodposture.”

“But still,” I said.“Carrying ski poles on thesidewalk is like carrying afootball in the bathroom. Orswinging a golf club at thebus stop.”

My husband gave me— you guessed it — a look.

“You can’t swing a golfclub at the bus stop,” hesaid. “You might hit some-one.”

Point taken, I said.But I doubt I’ll join those

ski-walkers soon. Heck,I can’t even ski on the snow.

Stroll with poles provesto be puzzling concept

Plenty of pies at fall fair!

SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Pie Ladies of Tsawwassen United Church have been busy all summer making scrumptiouspies out of every fruit imaginable. Their freezers are packed ready for the fall fair this Saturdayfrom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ladner author and sto-ryteller Laura Thomas haswon a national grant to pro-

mote storytelling in Delta.This summer, as a mem-

ber of the Storytellers ofCanada, Thomas was eli-gible to apply for funds tosupport a storytelling eventon World Storytelling Day,March 20, 2011.

Applications were sub-mitted from across thecountry and Thomas is oneof 12 grant recipients andthe only individual story-teller to receive funds.

In line with the “water”theme of World StorytellingDay, Thomas has titled herproject, “Water in Words:A Short Story Contest andWorld Storytelling DayEvent for Delta Youth.”

“The purpose of Waterin Words is to promotethe development of youngstorytellers and establishWorld Storytelling Day asan important educationaland artistic event in Delta,”she said.

Thomas’ event has twoparts, a short story contestas well as a storytellingevent.

Between Nov. 15 andFeb. 28, Thomas will beaccepting short story sub-missions from Delta youthin grades 4 through 12.Stories must be no longerthan 1,000 words, have awater theme and should beconnected to the geographyor community of Delta in acreative way.

Thomas will judge thestories and those who fin-ish in the top six in boththe intermediate and high

school categories will beinvited to attend a storytell-ing workshop and workwith Thomas to take theirstories from the print tothe oral form. The youngstorytellers will then per-form their stories at a WorldStorytelling Day event inDelta.

Though Thomas is stillheavily involved in herJunior Authors Short StoryContest, this self-employedsingle parent has alreadystarted promoting her eventwith a poster contest.

“I could do the posterfor the short story contestmyself, but I can get morekids involved by making theartwork part of the overallevent.”

Thomas is looking forsponsors for Water inWords.

“I hope to pull this offfor less than $1,000 but theStorytellers of Canada wasonly able to supply half ofthe money I need to makemy budget. This would bea perfect opportunity forDelta businesses that sellsproducts and services thatare related to water,” shesaid.

For more informationabout the Water in Wordsposter and short story con-tests or to become an offi-cial sponsor or volunteer,visit www.agentstory.net/water-in-words-contest.htmlor e-mail [email protected]. You can alsofollow “WaterInWords” onTwitter.

Tsawwassen authorAnthony Dalton is having avery productive 2010.

Dalton, 70, has had twobooks come out withinthe last two weeks to goalong with earlier releasesin January and May. Heexpects another book willbe published next month.

“It’ll be five this year,”he said.

One of Dalton’s latestbooks is Arctic Naturalist,The Life of J. Dewey Soper.

Soper, described as thelast of the great pioneer nat-uralists in Canada as wellas a skilled and meticulousexplorer, first traveled tothe Arctic in 1923.

Completing maps ofsouthern Baffin Islandunder “extraordinary con-ditions” was one of hisaccomplishments, saidDalton.

“I found his name byaccident. I was actually inWinnipeg at the Hudson’sBay archive researchingmaterial for a completelydifferent book,” he said.“On the passenger list onone of the Arctic ships Ifound this name and theword naturalist beside it.That intrigued me enoughto go looking and I found astory that I really wanted towrite.”

The book took aboutthree years to complete.

“I’m really, really proud

of this book. I put a lot ofeffort into it,” said Dalton,adding that he got a lotof help from Soper’s fam-ily and the University ofAlberta, which was Soper’salma mater.

Dalton’s other recentrelease is A Long,Dangerous Coastline, abook that highlights ship-wrecks off west coast ofNorth America.

Dalton is the nationalpresident of the CanadianAuthors Association. Heis a fellow of the RoyalGeographical Society anda fellow of the ExplorersClub.

Dalton’s books can befound at www.dundurn.comand at www.heritagehouse.ca.

Bob Orrick’s newbook explores how for-mer destroyers from theCanadian Navy have beenturned into artificial reefs.

“These ships were stal-warts of the sea and nowthey’ve gone down” andbegan another life, saidOrrick, a Ladner resident.

He self-published the130-page book, titled RCNReefs.

Orrick said the catalystfor the book came whilehe was attending a farewellparty about 10 years ago forHMCS Yukon, a destroyerhe served on from the fall

of 1966 to the spring of1968.

At the party he learnedthe ship was going to beturned into an artificial reefnear San Diego, California.

“I said to my wife,‘There’s a story here some-where.’”

Orrick traveled to SanDiego for a conference onartificial reefs and conduct-ed interviews with membersof various artificial reefsocieties as research for theproject.

The book also includes aportion about the ArtificialReef Society of BritishColumbia, a group that wasinvolved with the Yukon’stransformation.

The old ships attract rec-reational divers and providea habitat for sea life, hesaid.

“Divers today don’t godown with harpoons and tryto kill fish. They go downand photograph them,” hesaid.

Orrick said he had a lotof fun and learned a lotwhile working on the book.

Orrick is a Korean Warveteran and spent about25 years with the navy. Hewrote a book, IndelibleMemories, a retrospec-tive look at the conflict inKorea.

RCN Reefs can beordered online at www.xli-bris.com.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words

Running BackNon-Import

College: Bishop’sYears: 2 BC / 2 CFL

Height: 6.0Weight: 221

Born: March 13, 1987,New Westminster

Jamall Lee - 23I was raised in Port Coquitlam and live year-round in the Lower Mainland with my family

– so I’ve been a Lions fan all my life!I’ve been around football for as long as I can remember. My dad, Orville Lee, was a

running back who was selected by the Ottawa Rough Riders as the first overall pickin the 1988 Canadian draft and went on to play a number of seasons in the CFL.My dad has always been an inspiration to me, which is a major reason why I beganplaying football during high school.Following a pretty successful high school career, during which I was named a B.C.provincial all-star, I headed east to play football at Bishop’s University in Quebec. Myuniversity career was an amazing experience and I am proud of my accomplishments

there – some of the highlights include being the CIS leading rusher in 2008, along withhaving a leadership role as a team captain in my final two seasons as a Gaiter.Just over a year ago, I was fortunate to be drafted by my hometown BC Lions – a teamI’ve followed since childhood. Growing up in Port Coquitlam, I always knew BritishColumbians love their football so I’m passionate about doing whatever I can to win aGrey Cup for the CFL’s best fans.For several years, my father has worked with troubled youth in the Lower Mainland,which is a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community initiatives.Whether it’s reading to kids at a local elementary school or speaking to high schoolyouth about the importance of getting good grades, standing up to peer pressureand having an active, healthy lifestyle, it gives me a good feeling to know I’m having a

positive influence on young people right here in B.C.

Jamall Lee grew up in PortCoquitlam and was a BC Lionfan when he was a youngster.

Delta SportsSun Devils find a way to get first winSouth Delta is shutout in second half but still manages to slip past Seaquam to even its record in conference play

That wasn’t a wind stormin Tsawwassen Saturdaynight but rather a collectivesigh of relief coming fromthe South Delta Sun Devils.

After a rocky start to the2010 high school footballseason, the Sun Devils havetheir first win in nearly ayear — a 15-13 home fieldvictory over cross-town rivalSeaquam Seahawks.

It was game that offeredlittle for the highlight reelas the SunDevils failedto score in thesecond halfbut still founda way to pro-duce a crucialwin in con-ference playthat could goa long way todeterminingwhether theywill be partof the provin-cial playoffpicture comeNovember.

“It was a building block,”said a relieved South Deltahead coach Ray Moon. “It’sthe first part and there isstill a lot of work to do. It’sgoing to be a slow processbut it is a start.”

The Devils came strongout of the gate as quar-terback Mitch Rushtonhooked up with receiverChris Adams for a 30-yardmajor. They also added the

two-point convert for an8-0 lead. The Seahawksanswered on a quarterbacksneak by Tyler Green, onlyto see the hosts restore theadvantage on a five-yardrun by Ray Calderwood.

With the wind and rainbecoming a major factor inthe second half, it quicklybecame apparent if a 15-6lead would be enough. TheSeahawks made things inter-esting in the early stagesof the fourth quarter whenGreg Finley was sprungfor a 50-yard run then later

scored on a16-yard gal-lop to pullthe visitorswithin two. Itwould be asclose as theywould get,despite Finleyfinishing theafternoonwith 143-yards rushingon 23 times.

“(Theweather)basicallyshutdown

one facet of our offensivegame plan,” said Moon.“We were reduced to run-ning the ball and short pass-es. It also didn’t help thatwe had some key peopledinged up too.

“It was a hard hittinggame. As a coach you liketo see that as it helps putkids into the game mentallyand also pumps them upemotionally.”

Moon had high praisefor the work of his offen-sive line that gave Rushtonenough time to look downfield against an aggressiveSeahawks front seven. Theunit includes Riley Jonesand Taylor Harrison who

both played on Team B.C.over the summer as defen-sive players. Roudng outthe o-line are seniors TannerCarlile and Brad Schmied,along with Grade 10 RhysWeitzel.

South Delta has little

time to savour the victorywith the Ballenas Whalersslated to visit Tsawwassenon Saturday at 1:30 p.m. inanother pivotal conferencegame.

“They are always wellcoached and can score a lot

of points,” Moon said ofthe Parksville school. “I’msure they are going to befocusing on Ray and Cody(Cochrane) and hopefullywe will be able to use someof our other weapons thatthey haven’t seen yet.

The cycle starts again this weekfor Tom Robson.

After a hectic summer sched-ule, the pitching standout fromLadner has been named to theJunior National Team rosterthat will compete in the FallInstructional League in Orlando,Florida, Oct. 14-24.

Robson’s selection was hardly

a surprise given he was a mem-ber of the national team this pastseason and helped Canada fin-ish fourth at the World JuniorBaseball Championships with apair of impressive starts againstpowerhouse Cuba. The Grade 12Delta secondary student is alsoconsidered the top high schoolprospect in the country. He helped

Team B.C. repeat at the CanadaCup with an outstanding outingagainst Ontario in the gold medalgame.

Robson is one of just fourreturning players.

“This camp will prepare ourplayers for future internationalcompetition and give them per-spective on the challenges asso-

ciated with the next level of thegame,” said JNT head coach GregHamilton.

“From a coaching standpoint,it will allow the staff to evaluateall players in a highly competitiveenvironment.”

While in Florida the JNT willparticipate in daily practicesduring the morning and in the

afternoon they will take on FallInstructional teams from MLBclubs. Included on the schedulewill be games against the HoustonAstros, Toronto Blue Jays, AtlantaBraves and Seminole CommunityCollege. The event will also takeon an international flavour asthe JNT will take on China onOctober 17.

Ladner Whitecaps Simon Raderecht heads up field during U11 division action against theChilliwack Snipers at the Richmond Thanksgiving Tournament on Sunday at South Arm Park.

Ladner Celtic seemed tolike a little drama when itcomes to winning soccer

tournaments.After needing penalty

kicks to capture a pair of

playoff games en routeto a tournament win inOregon back in August,

the U13 Gold boys soccerteam was at it again — thistime at the RichmondThanksgiving Tournament.

The Celtic capped anexciting Sunday of actionwith a 3-2 championshipgame win over Surrey FCArsenal.

Following a scorelessopening half, the final 30minutes featured plenty ofaction with Ladner enjoy-ing a 1-0 lead, only to seeArsenal respond with twoof its own. The locals man-aged to equalize and thegame went directly to pen-alty kicks. Ladner connect-ed on two of five shots,

including its final attemptto secure the title.

The locals openedthe weekend by playingRichmond to a 2-2 drawand defeating WestminsterUnited 3-0. They conclud-ed round-robin play againstthe unbeaten Arsenal andresponded to the must-winscenario with an impres-sive 3-0 performance.Surrey’s 2-1 record andgoal differential was stillenough to get another shotat Ladner —just over anhour after the teams’ initialmeeting.

Celtic and Arsenal hadentered the tournament

with 4-0 records to sitatop the District 5 GoldDivision.

Ladner’s roster for theweekend included MarcAshford, Devin Basi, KyleBooth, Matteo Corea,Jeremy Gill, KaylinKaila, Brayden Kirk, JoshMurphy, Logan Newman,Jake Richards, SpencerRichardson, Brenn Traherand Michael Wiechers.Unavailable for the tourna-ment were Joven Gill andNicholas Wicks.

The team now looksforward to Conference Cupplay beginning this week-end.

Millions of milk cartons ending up in the trash every yearCOURTESY METRO VANCOUVER

Milk cartons wereinvented in about 1915 asan improvement on glasscontainers.The inventor felt glass

was heavy and break-able, even though it hadbeen working for years.Cardboard didn’t catch onright away.People were used to

buying their milk in glassjars. It took until the ‘30sfor the cardboard contain-ers to be accepted.The cardboard container

really took off in the ‘60swhen milk distributorsrealized they were cheaperand required no collection,cleaning or deposit pro-grams to manage. It waseasier to just throw themout.Last year, residents

across Metro Vancouversent about 1,400 tonnes ofcardboard milk cartons tothe landfill.That’s about 42 million

containers. This doesn’tinclude cartons used byschools, hospitals or otherbusinesses and institu-

tions — just houses.We also sent about 200

tonnes of plastic contain-ers (3.5 million containers)and 60 tonnes of glassmilk containers to thedump.Milk cartons are made

of paper with a waterproofcoating. Chlorine is usedto whiten the paper andthe containers are dyedinto familiar colours. Torecycle them, the cartonsare shredded and thensoaked in something like amassive washing machine.Most of the paper part

is reused and some of thecoating can be reused. Asthere isn’t a local recyclingplant, there’s shipping andhauling involved, plus a lotof energy to do the recy-cling.You can reuse cartons.

They are great for art,making bird feeders orstarting new seedlings forthe garden, but with theaverage household buyingsix litres per week, that’sa lot of seedlings or somevery fat birds!

In B.C., we have a vol-untary return program formilk cartons. That meansthat if you take them backto a depot, they will be

recycled. They are not col-lected in most municipalcurb-side programs. If youput them in your blue binand you don’t have a curb-

side program, some truckswill pick them up, but theywill eventually be sortedfor the garbage.About four per cent of

milk cartons are recycledthrough depots, whichmeans about 96 per centgo to the landfill. Wherecan you take them?Encorp Return-It Centres.Remember, because youpay no deposit for them,there is no fee paid uponreturn.What are the alterna-

tives? One dairy reportsit can sterilize and refillits glass bottles 80 to 100times each. Now that’sreusing.Local dairy producer

Avalon has its glass milkbottles available in manygrocery stores across theregion. A deposit sys-tem ensures most of thebottles are returned andreused.Another option is the

plastic jug. They arestill a one-use product.However, unlike cartons,they are easily recycled.

They are made of one typeof plastic, making them avaluable commodity as arecycling material.Over 75 per cent of

plastic milk containersare recycled, through bothdepots and curb-side pickup.It took over decade

to encourage NorthAmericans to choose tobuy milk in a carton. Nowwe might need anotherdecade to change ourminds about sending thosecartons to the dump.To reduce waste when

you drink milk, your topchoice is reusable glassjars, second is plasticcontainers that you clean,crush and recycle, andthird is cartons that youclean, crush and return toa depot.By the way, the first

widely available, refill-able glass milk jar,invented in the 1800s bya Dr. Thatcher was calledThatcher’s Common SenseMilk Jar. Maybe it’s time torevisit that name.

A few tips to help organizeyour recycling

COURTESY OF METRO VANCOUVER

There’s nothing more annoying thanrunning out of kitchen counter spacebecause you’ve got a pile of empty tins,yogurt and juice containers waiting to berecycled.Is it time to clear off your counters and

take stock of the amount of space underyou sink?Is the space under your sink being

taken over by special cleansers that areonly used every few months like silverpolish, floor wax and roasting pan scrub-bers? Or maybe your cupboard hosts abag of empty grocery bags? Go and take alook before reading on.Why not prioritize the space for sorting

out your garbage and recycling, activitiesyou do every single day?If you’re not using your cleansers at

all, look up your closest Product Care siteand get rid of them safely. Do not pourthem down the drain as the environmentdoesn’t want them either.This is not to suggest you stop clean-

ing your house, but like many people,you might want to switch to using fewerchemicals when cleaning your home.Check out www.metrovancouverrecycles.org for information that can help get ridof your old cleansers. If you are usingchemical cleansers, decide where elsethey can go — maybe under the bathroomsink? In the basement? Is there room toadd a shelf high up in the pantry or shoe

closet? If you have a large “bag of bags”where plastic bags are shoved into oneanother forming a space-wasting, earth-sized ball of plastic, take them back toyour grocery store for recycling. Thencommit to switching to reusable bagsso as not to build up a ball of bags everagain. If you need a few as kitchen catch-ers, store them up high on a hook in acloth bag.How big is your garbage bin and

can something smaller do the trick? Asmaller garbage bin is good motivationto make sure you recycle everything youcan. Recycling food scraps alone willreduce your household garbage by up to30 per cent. Once you have cleared outthe space under your sink, give it a goodwipe down with white vinegar to get ridof any odours. Vinegar is an amazingcleanser. Now think about the number ofbins, cans or boxes you will need to makeit easy to sort your recyclables. Make funsigns labelling the new sorting contain-ers like “well-read newsprint,” “flattenedcardboard,” “unavoidable plastic bottles,”“milk and juice containers for the depot.”Your food scraps collection container

can go under the sink too. Try a glass orstainless steel bowl with a dish for a lidor an ice cream pail with a lid.Like anything in life, once your recy-

cling station is clean and organized, it willbe easier to use.


RECYCLING ATSCHOOL REALLY PAYS OFFGeorge Pringle Elementary (Westbank) began the2009/10 school year with a 5 day bottle drive.It was such a success that they decided to collectcontainers on a monthly basis. One day in everymonth, parents dropped off their bags and boxesof containers at the school. The grade 6 studentsand Vice-Principal volunteered to collect juiceboxes and other containers from classrooms. Thisyear, the Parent Advisory Committee andteachers decided that the funds from depositrefunds would go towards a year end field tripto Vancouver. They’ve found that recycling is agreat way to save the environment while raisingmoney for things that are important to everyoneat their school.

Encorp’s School Recycling Programmakes fundraising as easy as ABC

Encorp’s BC School Recycling Programprovides elementary and high schoolswiththe tools and resources to make recyclingeasy, convenient and profitable. Schoolskeep 100% of the deposit for eachcontainer collected and the program coststhem nothing. Elementary and highschools from all parts of British Columbiaare encouraged to participate.

The schools and the environment bothbenefit from this popular program. Schoolsfind it’s an easy way to fundraise forspecial projects like field trips. Keepingbeverage containers out of landfills savesprecious resourceswithinourenvironment.The containers are recycled and used asraw material. For example, drink boxesare mashed into paper pulp which is usedto make cardboard boxes and toilet paper.Thousands of tonnes of paper pulp arerecovered in this process. And for every

Since 2000, about 33 million containers have been recycled, and Encorp has refunded more than$2 million in deposit refunds to participating BC schools.

A little planning cango a long way

We’ve got a long wayto go to get a gripon our garbage.

Take a look at the gar-bage you and your fam-ily take to the curb eachweek.Now reduce that by 70

per cent. That’s what yourgarbage-day reality could

look like in five years.Metro Vancouver has set

a lofty goal of reducing theamount of garbage requir-ing disposal by 70 per centby 2015.That target is part of

the region’s IntegratedSolid Waste and ResourceManagement Plan. Theplan is far from simple,and includes a contentiouswaste-to-energy proposalthat has been opposedby residents worried thatan incinerator will have adetrimental effect on airquality.Others say a properly

designed and managedwaste-to-energy facilitymakes the most sense forthe long-term handling ofour solid waste.A 5,000-page report

is now in the handsof the Ministry of theEnvironment, and it will besome time before a deci-sion is made on the fate ofthe overall plan.In the meantime, Metro

Vancouver is encouragingresidents to start tak-ing steps to reduce theamount of solid waste theycreate.The Zero Waste

Challenge includes a num-ber of tips for individualsthat want to be ahead ofthe waste-managementcurve.For instance, Metro

Vancouver suggests youtake a look at how muchfood you are tossing intothe garbage bin.

It’s probably morethan you think. (MetroVancouver pegs the aver-age at 40 per cent of totalhousehold waste.) Youcan tackle this from twoangles.First, consider your food

purchasing and preparinghabits.Are you throwing out

spoiled food every week?Maybe it’s time to cut backon how much you buy atone time.Second, take a look at

backyard composting. Ifyou live in an apartment,or you want to introduce acomposting program foryour office, then considergetting a worm bin.Reducing the use of

disposable productscan have a big impacton how much garbageis produced at home, atwork and throughout thecommunity in general.Single-use items, such asdisposable coffee cups andplastic water bottles, areeverywhere. Plan ahead:Purchase refillable con-tainers and then don’t for-get them as you are rush-ing out the door. Challengeyour co-workers to do thesame, and make it a prior-ity to teach your childrenthat throw-away contain-ers are not the best option.For more information on

how you can take part inthe Zero Waste Challenge,visit Metro Vancouver’swebsite www.metrovan-couver.org.

Retire your rideFinding ways to divert

harmful waste from ourlandfills is a constantconcern for Canadians.Many times, we forget thatrecycling spills into ourdriveways with some ofthe largest polluters outthere — our vehicles.Did you know ...• 75 per cent of an

average car’s content byweight can be recycled.• A mandatory National

Code of Practice for autorecyclers participatingin Retire Your Ride hasbeen established to pre-vent hazardous materialscontained in end-of-lifevehicles from contaminat-ing our water, soil and airduring and after the vehi-cle recycling process.• If your old car isn’t

properly drained of its oil,gasoline and refrigerants,and if its mercury switchesare not removed, thesehazardous materials canend up contaminating ourair, soil and water.• Retire Your Ride

offers great incentives toCanadians who retire their1995 and older model yearvehicles. They include freetransit passes, discountson the purchase of a newbicycle or vehicle, $300cash and more.• The program will run

Recycling is not just for paper and plastic anymore.Now you can also recycle your old TVs, computers,monitors, printers and fax machines – and save moneyat the same time.

“Most people don’t know that the extra TV they’ve gotsitting upstairs in the guest room where it gets used maybeonce a year is actually costing them money every day,” saysBC Hydro’s Kari Reid, Program Manager in ResidentialMarketing. “As long as that TV is plugged in – whether it’sturned on or not – it’s using energy. And it’s adding up ontheir electricity bills.”

Virtually all electronic devices – TVs, computers,printers, modems, DVD players, cell phone chargersand anything else with a clock, timer, adapter, memoryor remote control – continue to draw power even whenthey’re not in use. With the average Canadian home todayboasting more than 25 electronic devices, you can bet thatat least some of those devices remain plugged in, evenwhen they’re old or broken.

But just tossing your out-of-date electronics in thelocal landfill is not the answer.

“TVs, like computers and other electronics, havecomponents that should be recycled,” says Kari. “The bestthing is to take your unused electronics to a Return-It™Electronics recycling depot, where they will get broken downsafely and properly.”

The Return-It™ Electronics recycling program ismanaged by Encorp Pacific (Canada) on behalf of theElectronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia.The ESABC established the program in 2007 (in additionto its Return-It™ Beverage and Milk Container recyclingprograms) to respond to the fast-growing issue of e-waste.

“New and better products keep coming on the marketall the time,” says Kari, “and we’re snapping them up. Who

doesn’t want a sleek new flat-screen TV? But some peopleare just throwing their outdated electronics in the trash, orsimply putting them in a drawer or a closet because theydon’t know what else to do with them. Some people, too, arejust moving them to another room where they stay pluggedin but unused – which is just wasting energy. We want tosee unused electronics unplugged, then disposed of properly.”

“Once you’ve done that,” says Kari, “there are a numberof other things you can do to reduce your energy use.”

For example:! Plug all your related electronics, like your

computer, modem, monitor and printer, into a singlepower bar, then switch them all off at once when you’renot using them.! Switch to a laptop. A typical laptop computer uses

approximately 55 kwh/year compared to a typical desk-top andmonitor that uses approximately 290 kwh/yr.!Unplug your cell phone and other chargers as

soon as the battery is topped up.! If you’re in the market for a new TV, look for one

with the ENERGY STAR® label – it will use as much as50 per cent less energy than a less-efficient model.! As a general rule, the larger the TV the more

energy it uses. Make sure your TV is the right size foryour room by dividing the distance between whereyou’ll be sitting and the front of the screen by 2.5.

“It can take more electricity per year to keep your DVDplayer in standby mode than it actually uses playing DVDs,”says Kari. “Unplug it or turn it off at a power bar and you’llsave energy. And as I said before, get rid of your unusedTV! If just one in 10 households in British Columbiarecycled just one unused television, it would save enoughenergy to provide all of Squamish with electricity for morethan a year.”

Yard waste comes full circleBY JESSICA KERR

Yard and food waste col-lected from many house-holds around the LowerMainland enjoys a sec-ond life right back in theground where it started.Many residents leave

their grass trimmingsand yard waste at the endof their driveway everyweek without giving asecond thought to whereit ends up. Most of theorganic waste — whichincludes food scraps,yard and wood waste — inthe Lower Mainland getssent to Fraser RichmondSoil and Fibre, an organicprocessing facility inRichmond.“We look at ourselves as

handlers of a commodityor resource rather thanlooking at it from a wasteperspective,” said execu-

tive vice president SteveAujla. “So all the materi-als that we have cominginto our facilities fromresidential curb-side pro-grams for green materials,food scraps, urban woodmaterials, these are allresources so we’re manu-facturing compost.”The company has been

in the composting busi-ness since 1993 and is oneof the largest commercialcomposting operationsin the region. In 2009,Metro Vancouver signeda long-term contract withFraser Richmond Soil andFibre and the companyincreased the capacityat its facility in order toaccommodate an addi-tional 50,000 tonnes offood waste. Last year, fourMetro Vancouver com-munities — Coquitlam,Delta, Langley Townshipand West Vancouver —embarked on a food scraprecycling pilot project. PortCoquitlam has had a simi-lar program in place sinceNovember 2009.The Metro trial ended

in March and board chairLois Jackson said while afinal report is still in theworks, a preliminary oneshowed one kilogram offood waste was collectedper household per weekand the participation ratewas between 20 and 30per cent.Fraser Richmond

Soil and Fibre receivesorganic waste frommost municipalities inthe Lower Mainland andFraser Valley, from WestVancouver to Chilliwack.Packer trucks bring mate-rial either directly to thefacility or to one of thetransfer stations in NorthVancouver, Langley, MapleRidge and Surrey.The material is compos-

ted in large batches. Theyard waste, food scrapsand wood waste are mixedtogether in piles with larg-er pieces of already com-posted material, which arethen covered with carbonactivated ash from woodsources, which helps to

insulate and reduce odour.“We’re trying to create

an ideal environment forthe organisms for them tothrive off of, so they canmultiply quicker so theycan ideally break down thestuff in near perfect condi-tions,” Aujla said.He said odour concerns

are a top priority.“Organic processing

facilities, we’re not inbusiness if we’re produc-ing odour so everything wedo revolves around odourcontrol and odour protec-tion and odour mitigation,”Aujla said.After seven to nine

weeks, the material isready for the next steps.The batch of compost

is sieved to separate thefiner material, which is themarketable compost, fromthe larger pieces, whichare put back into the nextbatch of compost.That practice also helps

speed up the compostingprocess as the partiallycomposted matter willbring many microorgan-isms with it to help jump-start the new batch.“They all get recycled,

they get re-compostedagain until they breakdown smaller and smallerand smaller,” Aujla said.Once separated, the

finished compost is piledin another area of thesite. The product is soldas pure compost and alsogets combined with sandto make garden, turf andtop dressing soils.It’s then sold in bulk to

homeowners, landscapers,municipalities and othercompanies, which bag andsell the products underother names.The entire process takes

between 10 and 12 weeks.“It’s amazing those little

creatures what they’redoing,” Aujla said. “Wetake a lot of credit forwhat’s happening here but,to be honest, we’re movingthings around but the realwork, the magic, is beingdone by the army guysbehind the scenes — theorganisms.”

PW Trenchless Construction Inc.11618 - 130 St., Surrey BC • 604-580-0446www.pwtrenchless.com

Reduce your carbon footprint by 70%Each km of open-cut sewer trenchproduces more than1,000 truckloads of material.

PW TrenchlessYour No-Dig Specialists

Trenchless construction–a revolutionary conceptin laying underground wire and piping–is not onlyhelping to reduce the monetary costs associatedwith underground construction, it is also making ahuge impact on the ability to reduce costly damageto the environment.

“Trenchless procedures are more environmentallyfriendly because they can reduce dust, pollution,and noise, and make installations through wetlandsand other environmentally-sensitive areas far lessdisruptive,” says David O’Sullivan, Owner,P.W. Trenchless Construction Ltd.

By minimizing the amount of excavation requiredto bury pipe and cable, trenchless constructionreduces damage to land and road surfaces,including the costs to restore them, causes lessdisruption of traffic and other activities on andaround job sites, and allows for installations in areaswhere excavation is impractical or impossible.

“The various methods of construction usingtrenchless procedures mean that the material fromthe ground surface down to the pipe zone is notdisturbed. This causes a major reduction in the useof energy and still we are able to install or renewthe utility with the same degree of effectiveness.”

O’Sullivan says the biggest impact trenchlessconstruction is having on the environment is

the massive reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions.

“Compared to cut-and-cover construction,trenchless procedures actually reduce CO2emissions by 78 to 90 per cent,” he said.

A University of Waterloo study concluded thatreduction associated with trenchless constructionis achieved primarily due to limiting disruption oftraffic flow and shorter duration of projects usingtrenchless methods.

O’Sullivan recommends cities and companiesmanaging installations of underground wiring andpiping check out the easy-to-use Carbon Calculatorat www.NAST-BC.org. The calculator estimates theamount of carbon that would occur during an open-cut construction project compared to one usingtrenchless procedures.

“It is quite amazing to see the difference.The trenchless technology is really making a bigdifference—both in lowering disruption to theenvironment and lowering the bottom line costs ofconstruction.”

Specializing in pipe bursting and slip lining,P.W. Trenchless Construction Inc. is one of themost experienced trenchless contractors in BritishColumbia. For more information, visit www.pwtrenchless.com.
