More than just afishing and hunting store,Bass Pro Shops stores offerequipment and clothingfor hiking, backpacking,wildlife viewing, camping,outdoor cooking and more,”the company’s websiteexplains.The store will also have

a gift and nature centre sell-ing a wide variety of out-door items, everything from

bird feeders to furniture, aswell as an expansive boatshowroom.So far, Bass Pro Shops is

the only confirmed tenantat the Mills, although morenews about which retailerswill be locating at the mallis expected in the comingweeks.A Property Development

Group project, TsawwassenCommons is an outdoormall comprising 550,000square feet. Walmart, Rona,Canadian Tire, Petsmart,Marks Work Warehouseand Dollarama have beenconfirmed tenants for sometime, while recent addi-tions to the lineup includeHomeSense, Metro Liquorand various eateries such asWings Tap & Grill.More tenant news is

expected in the coming

weeks as well.Walmart is slated to open

next June with the rest ofthe mall to open in October.Meanwhile, as construc-

tion continues at the malls,the commute in and out ofTsawwassen has been extraslow as a number of roadand highway upgrade pro-jects continue. That work

isn’t expected to be com-plete until next May.Those projects include

widening the 52nd Streetintersection at Highway 17,installing new traffic signalsat 52nd and 56th streets tofacilitate additional laneson the highway as wellas other road and pavingworks.

They’re cute, they’refurry and they’re inundat-ing the Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter.Over 30 bunnies are now

calling the shelter homebut staff members are hop-ing the rabbits that endedup there will find foreverhomes.Shelter manager Sarah

Lowe said they’ve neverhad so many bunnies,many of which have beendropped off by former own-ers that didn’t quite knowwhat to expect, while somewere strays. She said theyare the hardest to adopt ofall the shelter’s animals.“Rabbits tend to spend

the most time here, even ifthey’re social and happy.That’s partially becausepeople consider rabbits likethey’re great for kids andthey’re a cute little rodent-type pet. But they’re actu-ally not good for kids andthey’re a complicated pet insome regards,” she said.“They need pellets, they

need hay, they need veg-gies, they leave little pel-lets around. Ideally, rabbitsshould be indoor rabbits.There’s studies that showthey can be super social,just like cats, and we actu-ally litter box train our rab-bits because we want themto be indoors.”One big problem is peo-

ple that own bunnies whenthe animals are very youngaren’t spaying or neuteringthem, which is why animalrescue places and sheltersend up with so many.Lowe said once a pet

owner understands theresponsibility and care

requirements for a bunny,the animals can be a lot offun and have great person-alities. Some are good withkids but not all.Rabbits usually don’t like

to be picked up becausethey are prey animals, mak-ing them naturally nervous.However, if one is willingto take the time to socializethem, they can be trainedwith food to sit on some-one’s lap and be comfort-able.

“They do make great petsbut they’re not like a cat ora dog. They’re definitelyan individual species butpeople misunderstand them.They live 10 years, not likea hamster that lives twoyears, so when people real-ize this, they dump them,”Lowe said.“But they can be awe-

some pets, quirky and fun.We recommend you cordonoff part of a room in yourhouse, put towels down,

and they can have theirfree-run area. Then theycan be let out of there whenthey are supervised. A lotof people think of them asa caged animal, but they’rereally not. They need waymore exercise and spacethan what we used to thinka long time ago.”Noting there are several

veterinarians that deal withrabbits in Delta, Lowe saidthe shelter his having aspecial promotion until the

end of October in whichyou can set your own adop-tion price. All the animalsare spayed or neutered,have permanent identifica-tion and have been checkedover.There is an application

process so prospective own-ers can talk with staff andunderstand a rabbit’s needs.For more information,

call the Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter at 604-940-7111.

October 14, 2015 The Delta Optimist A3

Expect more traffic at theAlex Fraser Bridge and theGeorge Massey Tunnel thisweekend.That’s because the aging

Pattullo Bridge is scheduledfor a 39-hour closure.TransLink issued an

advisory stating essentialpothole repairs on thebridge will result in a clo-sure to all vehicles fromFriday, Oct. 16 at 9 p.m.until Sunday, Oct. 18 atnoon. Emergency vehicleswill still have access andthe sidewalk will remainopen to cyclists and pedes-trians.News of the upcom-

ing bridge work came asDelta recently got whatwas considered very good

news regarding even moremajor work planned for thePattullo that could haveresulted in a large amountof traffic diverted to Deltafor an extended period.TransLink had been

planning a $100 million,18-month seismic improve-ment project to commencenext year. It would haveresulted in only one lane ineach direction open duringthe day and all lanes closedat night and weekends. Thebridge would have beenclosed to heavy trucks at alltimes as well as pedestriansand cyclists.About 75,000 vehicles

use the bridge daily.Concerned about the

impact on regional traf-fic, Delta council and staffrepresentatives met withprovincial Transportation

Minister Todd Stone atthe recent Union of B.C.Municipalities convention.The municipality also wrotea letter outlining its con-cerns.“The impacts to Delta

will be felt throughout theday as traffic diverts to theonly two free alternatives –the George Massey Tunneland the Alex Fraser Bridge– both of which are alreadybeyond capacity,” a letter tothe minister states.The letter notes traf-

fic congestion would takelonger to dissipate after themorning and evening rushhours.Delta had been seeking a

reduction or elimination ofthe toll on the Port MannBridge to encourage motor-ists to use that crossing dur-ing the construction period,

but the minister indicatedthat option is not being con-sidered. However, he indi-cated his ministry is under-taking traffic modellingthat will be used to developalternative strategies.Delta engineering direc-

tor Stephen Lan told coun-cil last week the situationhas changed with TransLinkannouncing the PattulloBridge project would besignificantly scaled back.

Expected to cost only$25 million and take fivemonths to complete, thenew deck repair projectwill keep two lanes on thefour-lane bridge open at alltimes. Trucks will also beable to use the bridge.Lan said his department

would be paying closeattention to what’s happen-ing at the Pattullo and willcontinue to meet with min-istry staff.

Social media is playinga big part in the federalelection and while it canhelp candidates reach outto voters, it has also spelleddisaster for some.There’s a growing list of

candidates that have had apast tweet or Facebook postcome back to haunt them.A Vancouver Island

Liberal candidate resignedlast month after a 2013Facebook post questioningwho was responsible for the9/11 terrorist attacks cameto light, while a TorontoConservative candidate wasdropped by the party afterbeing identified in YouTubevideos making prank calls,including one where hepretended to have a mentaldisability. At least a dozencandidates across the coun-try have been replaced.While no Delta candi-

dates have resigned fromthe campaign or beenexpelled from their parties,they have not been immuneto social media backlash.Last week, Conservative

incumbent Kerry-LynneFindlay found herself in themiddle of a social mediacontroversy.A tweet, which was post-

ed to her official account,read: “#GenerationTrudeauis exactly why millennialshave the worst reputation ofall,” referring to a Liberalcampaign aimed at collegeand university students.The tweet was deleted

but not before the storywas picked up by an onlinepublication and garneredcriticism from some on thesocial media network.Findlay responded in a

subsequent tweet: “Sent outby a young volunteer bymistake, meant to be fromher own account to herpeers. Not my views.”NDP candidate Jeremy

Leveque also garneredsome attention earlier in thecampaign for two-year-olddeleted tweets that wereunearthed using the web-site Tweet Tunnel, whicharchives old and deletedtweets, by another onlinepublication. The storyhighlighted, sometimesheated, exchanges between

Leveque and other Twitterusers as well as ones criti-cizing Liberal Leader JustinTrudeau and former Britishprime minister MargaretThatcher.The Green’s Anthony

Devellano has also becomea target on Twitter. Oneuser has dug up several lessthan flattering tweets, alldating back to 2009, froman account under the nameTony Devellano. The B.C.Green Party tweeted thatthe account is not linked tothe party’s candidate.

Port Metro Vancouverannounced last month thatis has, thus far, addressed118 of 151 sites identi-fied in the Fraser RiverImprovement Initiative,a program to clean upmunicipal waterways andshipping channels.The update was pro-

vided to attendees of theUnion of British ColumbiaMunicipalities conferencein Vancouver.

Derelict vessels, aban-doned boats and structureslike old docks can be safetyrisks, create pollution andare unsightly. The initiativetargets neglected vesselsand structures that pose riskto wildlife or natural habi-tats, or impede navigationalsafety on the Fraser River,such as vessels that aresinking or leaking fuel.Port Metro Vancouver

starts by trying to contact

owners and, where possible,works with them to ensuresafe removal.The port authority has

committed approximately$2 million over five yearsto the initiative, whichbegan in 2013.“These sites can be an

environmental or naviga-tional hazard on the river,and can lessen the qualityof life in local communi-ties,” said Tom Corsie, vice

president of real estate atPort Metro Vancouver. “Weare proud of the progresswe’ve made in improvingthe river and ensuring own-ers take appropriate respon-sibility for their vessels orproperty.”Recent sites that have

been addressed under theprogram include severalvessels on the shores ofthe Annacis Channel inNew Westminster, such as

an abandoned catamaranand power boat that wereembedded in the shore,causing considerable publicconcern and creating thepotential for environmentaldamage.Another resolved site

required removal of pilesin Gunderson Slough inDelta, ultimately benefittingthe intertidal marsh habitatin the area, navigation andpublic safety.

Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Bryce Williams (third from right) was on hand with members of his government last Friday for the grand opening of the first phase ofa sports field complex at the First Nation. The undertaking is a TFN government project. The second phase, which will include a lacrosse box, outdoor fitness stations,walking path, children’s playground equipment and plaza, will open next fall. Williams says it’s exciting that their members will finally be able to enjoy sports and rec-reation in their own community.

Bills pile upas victoriescontinue

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

The good news is the victories are pil-ing up. The bad news is so are the legalbills.The coalition fighting a plan to erect

radio towers in Point Roberts scoredanother one for residents on both sidesof the border last week when a SkagitCounty Superior Court judge dismissedan appeal by the broadcaster behind theproposal.It’s the third straight victory, coming

on the heels of the Whatcom Countyhearing examiner’s decision last fall,a ruling that was upheld by the countycouncil earlier this year.Given the proponent has 30 days to

appeal the most recent decision, there’sa possibility the case hasn’t seen thelast of an American courtroom, whichwould translate into more bucks for theCross Border Coalition to Stop the RadioTowers, a group that has already spentin excess of $200,000 in its fight to keepour communities free of radio waves.The fact this issue is still alive more

than two years after it first came to lightis troubling given the undeveloped lotjust south of the international borderis clearly not a suitable location for a50,000-watt tower array. The inability ofthe two federal governments to rectifythe situation is baffling but thankfullythere’s been some common sense exer-cised closer to home.The hearing examiner stood firm

behind height restrictions in the tinyAmerican peninsula, while no matterhow hard the proponent tried to suggestthe towers would provide some kind ofvital public service, the judge didn’t buyit. Even though the victories are pilingup, the coalition has been left holding thebag, still $20,000 short on its legal feesbill and facing the prospect of needingmore should this thing go another round.Why members of the public have been

forced to dig into their own pockets andhold a variety of fundraisers to wage bat-tle with a proposal that doesn’t conformto legislation and has no business onthe doorstep of a community the size ofTsawwassen is beyond me and many oth-ers, particularly those tasked with raisingthe cash.However, the situation is what it is,

which forced residents to make a deci-sion: either step up and take action orwatch the towers compromise their qual-ity of life, and potentially their health.The entire population of Tsawwassen,

as well as our neighbours across the line,are indebted to these folks who, coinci-dentally, are indebted to their lawyers.Helping them get out from under thatburden would be a nice way to offerthanks.

It’s amazing what you can learnfrom Netflix these days. I’ve beenparticularly addicted to one show,WWII in HD. They have takenold black and white footage andadded colour. The technology isimpressive, and it brings a wholenew perspective, and horror, to thedocumentary.Like most kids, I studied the

war in high school. But who reallyunderstands what’s going on whenyou’re a teenager? Watch a fewfilms, listen to teachers talk aboutit and write a test. All knowledgeis then replaced by something else.Watching it again, though, reallyshows how terrifying a time itreally was.Imagine multiple terrorist attacks

every night. Bombs were droppedon cities and towns around Europeconstantly. Everyone was a tar-get. If you weren’t caught in anexplosion, you risked being shotor starved to death. In today’s day

and age where TV shows and videogames portray this kind of devasta-tion as entertainment, it’s hard tocome to grips with just how terrify-ing the war was.Now, say goodbye to your

father, your son, your grandson,who went off to fight. They didn’thave a choice. They stayed untilthe war ended, if they came homeat all.Today, we see the veterans at

Remembrance Day ceremonies andcan’t understand why they havetears in their eyes. I can’t, for thelife of me, come anywhere nearcomprehending what they wentthrough. But they did, and for onereason.They fought for democracy and

freedom. They fought, and died, soyou could vote. And next Monday,the result of their sacrifice is youropportunity to thank them. By cast-ing a vote.It won’t take you long. If you

are prepared, it’s quite simple. Takeyour voter’s card and some ID (thebest thing is a driver’s license) andyou’ll be out of there in no time.If you don’t take your license, twopieces of ID with your name on it,one with an address, and you areready to go. It’s that easy.Voting in Canada is simple. The

ballot will have four names on it.Put an X in the circle beside one

of them and hand it back to theelections officer. That’s it. Yourvote is secure and anonymous. Nomatter what you hear in the media,no party will ever know who youvoted for, only that you voted.But the biggest thing to remem-

ber this time out is that the pollsare open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.That’s right, they close at 7 p.m.In other elections the polls closedlater. Not this time. Make sure, ifyou can’t get home from work by 7you vote before you leave.You can only vote at the polling

station you are assigned to, so youcan’t drop into just any one andcast a ballot.Not long after this election is

over, we’ll be wearing poppieson our jackets and lapels in trib-ute to the men and women whogave everything for your freedom.Remembrance Day will come andgo, our veterans will be anotheryear older, and the memories ofSecond World War will fade deeperinto the background.On Monday, pay tribute to them

by doing what they died for.On Monday, vote.Brad Sherwin, MBA has over

25 years’ experience in marketing,public relations and business strat-egy. He is currently the director ofmarketing for a national non-profitorganization.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Housing choicesgrowing but more

work needs to be done,Community Comment, Sept.

25As president of the

British Columbia DiscSports Society, and along-time resident ofTsawwassen, I was dis-appointed to read MikeSchneider’s column regard-ing potential changes toWinskill Park.Winskill Park is an

important green space inTsawwassen and is enjoyedby many stakeholders,including the disc golfcommunity he disparages.His personal attack andmischaracterization of discgolfers as six-pack tot-ing doobie smokers showsa fundamental lack ofknowledge regarding thesport in general, and theTsawwassen course and

players in particular.Formalized in the 1970s,

disc golf is one of the fast-est growing sports in NorthAmerica. It is particularlypopular because it is soaccessible. The cost to playis low, and people at mostany age can pick up a discand enjoy a round.The society has members

as young as eight and as oldas 67 (I’ve met and playedwith disc golfers well intotheir 70s). At a time whenthe nation is struggling withobesity and other ailmentsrelated to inactivity, it is amistake to call for furtherreducing the availability oflow-impact sports acces-sible by almost all agegroups.Beyond the sport of

disc golf in general, theTsawwassen course playsa key historical role as thefirst permanent disc golfcourse in Canada (estab-

lished in 1976). Of thethousands of players whohave made the course theirhome, many have gone onto represent the provinceand nation, competingacross Canada and interna-tionally. These players workand train hard, take pridein their performance, thecourses they play on andthe community they comefrom.Rather than trying to

advance a personal agendaby attacking the WinskillDisc Golf Course and play-ers, Tsawwassen and Deltashould take pride in thehistorical significance ofthe course and the achieve-ments of the many competi-tors and casual players whohave enjoyed the courseover the past 39 years.

Editor:Because they unquestion-

ably exceeded the localzoning height limit of 13.5metres (45 feet), the coali-tion of Tsawwassen andPoint Roberts residentswas elated when the judgein Skagit County SuperiorCourt denied the appeal byBBC Broadcasting Inc. lastWednesday.The broadcaster was

appealing a WhatcomCounty council decision tosupport its hearing examin-er’s decision to deny a con-ditional use permit to BBCBroadcasting Inc. to relo-cate its 45-metre (150-foot),50,000-watt transmittertower array from Ferndaleto Point Roberts.

The judge’s decisionwas thorough and decisiveon all counts and it is notlikely to be appealed by theproponent.I was particularly grati-

fied to see our lawyer, BobCarmichael use the con-tours map showing theblanketing interferenceimpact on Tsawwassen thatI originally extrapolatedfrom the truncated map inwhich homes, schools andbusinesses of Tsawwassenwere redacted by the pro-ponent.Justice has prevailed

after spending more than$200,000 US. We still needhelp since we still owe$20,000 in legal fees.OK, Tsawwassen, it is

time to show your monetaryappreciation at www.notow-ers.webs.com.

After more than a decadeof neglect, Delta’s localriver channels were finallydredged in 2015 owing toa broad coalition of com-munity and governmentstakeholders. Althoughmany thanks are in order,the absence of a sustainablemaintenance program toprevent the channels fromsilting back in means thebenefits will be short livedand the welfare of Deltaresidents at risk again.As background, the

Fraser River drains 25 percent of the province’s landbase, carrying 20 milliontonnes of sediment annu-ally into the Fraser delta. Inhuman terms, that’s enoughsand to fill 5,000 Olympicswimming pools or about60 million bathtubs.For nearly 100 years,

dredging of the Fraser Riverwas done by the CanadianCoast Guard. In late 1998,the federal governmenttransferred the responsibil-ity to Port Metro Vancouveralong with a $15 milliondredging fund. Althoughthe port used these moniesaccordingly, local channeldredging ceased in 2002and the fund has long sincebeen depleted.Exacerbating the

situation is the fact thatTransport Canada sought

to reduce the need fordredging the main channelin the 1990s by installingengineered structures todivert most of the Fraser’sflow into it. Although thiswas successful, it was tothe detriment of the localchannels where water flowwas reduced and sedimentbuildup accelerated at analarming rate.

In Ladner, areas with 20feet of water at low tidewere gradually reduced totwo or three feet and theresult was huge increasesin flood risk to the commu-nity, commercial and resi-dential boat owners unableto navigate safely, and ves-sels and float homes goingaground. Although waterlot owners are responsiblefor dredging their own silt,their efforts became futileas the channel’s silt quicklysloughed into any dredgingundertaken.Recognizing the peril at

hand, a volunteer group oflocal business people andresidents formed the LadnerSediment Group to raiseawareness of the environ-

mental, social and econom-ic implications of inaction,as well as protecting the500 direct and indirect jobssupported by Ladner’s riverchannels.Responding to the group,

the Corporation of Delta,the provincial governmentand Port Metro Vancouvercame to the table in 2012with a commitment ofalmost $8 million fordredging. While the fundingpartners are to be congratu-lated for their leadership, itis essential we protect theseinvestments for the samereason we maintain ourhighways and roads — fail-ure to do so would renderthem inoperable and all thatdepend on them burdened-at-best and extinct-at-worst.In our view, the best

means forward involvesthe establishment of a sedi-ment maintenance programwith long-term endow-ments from Port MetroVancouver, the B.C. andCanadian governments andthe Corporation of Delta.The estimated annual main-tenance cost is $750,000,which is modest consider-ing the benefits achieved.For more information,

In general, I know mylimitations.Wouldn’t know how to

use an electric drill. Haveno idea how to put up dry-wall or how to make a souf-flé or how to change the oilin the car.How to set up a big-

screen TV? Wouldn’t thinkto give it a try.I know casseroles, cam-

eras and washing machines.Computers? Don’t even getme started.But every once in a

while, I surprise myself.Take last week. My iPad

has a keyboard. The key-board wasn’t working.I consulted the husband.

The husband knows drills,and a little bit about dry-wall. Where computers areconcerned, let’s just say hehas “ideas.”“Shut it down,” he sug-

gested. “Then restart it.That usually works.”I did. But it didn’t.

I reread the keyboardinstructions. I was to usea green cable. I was to putone end in the iPad and oneend in the keyboard. I wasto watch for a blinking bluelight.I did. Again, nothing.“Go to Settings,” sug-

gested the drill-and-drywallman. “Make sure every-thing is synced up.”I wasn’t entirely sure

what he meant by syncing,but I went into Settings andgave it a look. Seemed per-fectly fine to me.“Sure it’s fully charged?”

asked the ideas guy.I hammered away at

the keyboard, but nothingappeared.“Yes!” I said. “It’s

charged! Why isn’t this stu-pid thing working?”The husband went back

to whatever he was doing. Iwas left to my own devices.I tried a little of this, and

a little of that. And then alittle of this some more.Hours later, and with

the workday done, we con-vened at the local pub fora pre-dinner pint. The sondecided to join us.We chatted about the

election, and about foot-

ball, and about the Octoberweather.“So,” said the husband

after a bit. “What aboutyour keyboard?”“Oh,” I said. “It’s fixed.”I sipped my beer. The

husband looked, well, just alittle bit shocked.“Fixed?” he said. “What

did you do?”“I un-installed it,” I said.

“Then I installed it again.”His mouth dropped.“You did WHAT?” said

the son. “This calls for around of shots!”I opted to forgo the

shots, but not the adula-tion. After all, I had neveronce imagined myself assomeone who would beable to un-install anything.Indeed, most of the timewhen I have issues with adevice of this nature, I amless inclined to figure it out,and more inclined to hurl itfrom a suspension bridge.But hey, perhaps this is

an indication I’m evolving,turning into someone who’sable to see a problem andfind a solution.I may just change the

engine oil. Not because thecar may need it, but simplyto see if I can.

If you’re sharing a spacewith an excitable toddler,an aspiring rock musicianor a TV enthusiast with apenchant for loud volumes,peace and quiet may seemincreasingly elusive. Trythese simple soundproofingtips to restore or create amore tranquil atmosphere inyour home:

• Hush noisy appliances.Make sure your appli-ances are working smoothly.Unusual rattles, clanks orvibrations may mean it’stime for a repair. When areplacement is needed, seekout a quieter machine. Newtechnologies have allowedmanufacturers to lowerthe sound output of manymodels.

• Seal sound leaks. Holesand cracks around windowsand doors let outside noiseinto the home. Weather-stripping and/or caulkingcan help to eliminate the

intrusion of exterior noise.Adhesive soundproofingtape can also help seal anyproblem areas.

• Anticipate centres of noisewhen renovating. Whendesigning a new room orrenovating an existing one,consider its intended useand potential for generat-ing noise. Playrooms, musicstudios or home theaters,for example, can be qui-eted with insulation. Lookfor products that are spe-cifically designed to providesuperior sound absorptionand can be applied to theinterior walls of a noisyroom to effectively reduce

disruptive sounds.

• Use sound-absorbentmaterials. Carpets andwindow drapes preventsound from echoing arounda room. If your home hashardwood, laminate flooringor tile, consider investing ina throw rug to reduce ambi-ent noise and add somecharacter to your space.

Made of 100-per-cent recycled rubber, thepaving is slip-resistant and impact-absorbing.It has a variety of applications, from splashparks and playgrounds to driveways, patios,pool decks and walkways. “From a safetyperspective, it really is the best product forpool areas because of its non-slip surface.”

“It also feels great to walk on.”A great feature of Eco Paving’s product, saysLavigne, is that it can be installed directlyover existing surfaces such as asphalt,brick, concrete, epoxy stone, road base andeven torch-on membrane. The product isflexible and can accommodate any future

ground movements, greatly reducing anypossibility of future cracking. “This makesit a cost-effective choice when you considerthe time and labour that it takes to removeand replace an existing surface suchas a driveway.”Unlike asphalt or concrete, the rubber

finish will not fracture or crack, virtuallyeliminating long-termcosts. Eco Pavingalso provides a five-year warranty againstdefective materials including cracking,which is generally five times greater thanconcrete warranties.

Siding solutionsFew home improvements cantransform a home more thanthe installation of new siding.Replacing siding can be a costlyventure, but the right siding willmaintain its appeal for years tocome.

Updated siding can improve home’s energyvalue by enabling owners to save on heat-ing and cooling costs. A new design andcolour also can improve a home’s propertyvalue and set it apart from neighbouringproperties.

Choose a qualified contractorIt is important for consumers to do theirresearch when it comes to siding materialsand contractors. A contractor who takesshortcuts or improperly installs the sid-ing may void a manufacturer’s warranty.Interview more than one contractor andcompare both their costs and what theyoffer. Be sure the contractor carries generalliability insurance as well as workers’ com-pensation insurance for their subcontrac-tors. Ask for a license number as well andverify its accuracy.

Select a durable materialSiding comes in all types of materials —from wood to plastic to fibre cement — butvinyl is among the most popular due to costand availability. Research how well particu-lar brands of siding stand up to conditionsand which are the least likely to crack,warp or discolour. Find this information

from online reviews or through consumeradvocacy groups. Also remember, vinyl andother synthetic materials have improvedand can now mimic the look of many othermaterials for a fraction of the cost.

Calculate how much you needBefore you price out siding with contrac-tors, estimate how much you will need foryour house — multiplying the height timesthe width of each rectangular section ofyour house in feet, going by what you canmeasure from the ground, to determinetheir areas. Multiply the approximate heightand width of gables and other triangularsurfaces and divide each total by two.Then add all the totals. To allow for waste,don’t subtract for doors, windows or otherareas that won’t be covered. Finally, dividethe total square footage by 100 to esti-mate how many squares of siding you willneed. A square represents 100 square feet.Knowing how much you need can save youmoney.

FINDING A QUALI-FIED CONTRACTORIS AN IMPORTANT

COMPONENT TO ANYSIDING PROJECT.

With fall upon us, there are a number of jobs, both indoor and out, that should be completed before winter arrives

Earth-friendly tips for autumnAutumn is upon us,and with the changeof seasons comes thefall to-do list thatmust be completedbefore the arrival ofwinter weather.

Many outdoor jobs are bestcompleted before tempera-tures drop, while others canbe tackled indoors to helpsave energy and prepare forincreased time spent insidethe home.

Outdoor cleanupAutumn means leaves arefalling from trees and lit-tering landscapes. Cleaningup leaves can be a time-consuming task, but it’snecessary to promote thehealth of lawns and otherplants. Grass that is com-pletely matted down withleaves can become starvedfor light and moisture, andlawns may even rot whenforced to spend winterbeneath fallen leaves.

One eco-friendly time saveris to shred leaves with amower (a manual mower ispreferable) and leave themas topdressing for the lawn.As long as the grass bladescan be seen within theleaves, the lawn should befine. Shredded leaves will

decompose and add neces-sary nutrients and organicmatter to the soil naturally.

Leaves also can be used inannual flower and vegetablegardens to improve the soil.Mulch made from shreddedleaves can be placed onthe soil around trees andshrubs. This helps to reduceweed problems and protectsroot systems from harshtemperature fluctuations.

Clothing donationsIt’s time to pack away sum-mer clothing and once againfill closets and drawers withsweaters and jeans. Beforepacking away your sum-mer wardrobe, conduct aninventory to determine ifthere are any items you nolonger use. Donate theseitems or use them as ragswhen cleaning.

Keep some short-sleevedshirts accessible so you canlayer them under sweat-shirts and sweaters. Theheat from layering will betrapped against your bodyand keep you cozier, reduc-ing your reliance on HVACsystems to stay warm.

Home repairsCheck the roof for anymissing shingles. In addi-tion, look for spots where

animals or insects may beable to gain entry into yourhome. Seal these areas andrepair any leaks.

This will make your homemore efficient later on whenwinter hits its stride.

Remove window air con-ditioners for the winter. Ifthey can’t be removed, sealthem with caulking or tapeand cover them with anairtight, insulated jacket.If you have forced-air sys-tems, move furniture away

from the vents so that aircan flow better around thehome and keep it comfort-able.

Check weather strippingaround windows and doorsand make the necessary

adjustments. Installing addi-tional insulation also canhelp reduce energy con-sumption.

A few tips can help home-owners prepare for autumnin eco-friendly ways.

How to tend to anindoor herb gardenFresh herbs andrecently picked ingre-dients can add flavourto any meal.

Harvesting fresh herbsis easy for homeownerswho have gardens right intheir backyards. However,everyone does not have abackyard, and even thosethat do might find their gar-dens threatened by chang-ing seasons or unwantedcritters. When gardens aremoved indoors, the bountyof fresh ingredients contin-ues no matter the date onthe calendar.

Herb gardens are perhapssome of the easiest gardensto cultivate indoors becausethey don’t require large potsor much space. The plantsthemselves are relativelycompact, and it only takesa pinch of herbs to give ameal some extra flavour.

When growing herbsindoors, your indoorgrowing area must haveadequate light to simulatethe longer days of summer;

otherwise, the plants maygo dormant. It’s ideal tohave a southern exposureon the herbs, with at leasteight hours of sunlight perday. If you do not live in aparticularly sunny locale,consider supplementingthe plants with grow lights,which will provide the fullspectrum of light the plantsneed to thrive.

Indoor air can become toodry for herbs, so you willneed to compensate by pro-viding humidity. While theremay be added humidity in akitchen greenhouse window,it still may not be enough tokeep the plants healthy.

Think about misting theplants daily to create someextra humidity, or placeherb pots on top of a water-filled tray with pebbles sothe evaporating water willadd moisture without mak-ing the roots soggy.

Insects are another threatto indoor gardens becausethere is no cold weather toinhibit the hatching of insect

eggs. Soil from outdoorsmay be more susceptibleto insects that are alreadyliving in the dirt. Insteadof soil from outside, usepackaged soil or a non-soilalternative that will holdmoisture without the addedrisk of bugs. If small insectsappear, use a mist of soapywater to kill the bugs with-out harming the plants ormaking the herbs unfit foreating.

Group herbs togetheraccording to their water-ing needs to make main-tenance that much easier.New sprouts generally needmore water than establishedplants.

Prune the herbs as neededfor recipes. If the herbsexperience a growth spurt,trim some of the plants andfreeze the herbs for lateruse.

Many indoor herb gardenersbegin by growing parsley,chives, oregano, and basil,but you can experimentwith just about any herb.

Preparing your homefor winter

Getting a well main-tained home ready forwinter isn’t difficult,but it’s wise to startearly, say expertsat the Paint QualityInstitute.

They recommend thathomeowners tackle fivesimple projects as soon aspossible. Together, theycan help protect your homefrom the elements, make itmore comfortable, and helpprevent expensive repairbills next spring:

• Touch up exterior paint.Peeling or flaking paint canexpose bare wood, subject-ing it to moisture and pos-sible rotting, so if you seebare spots, be sure to touch

them up. Scrape off anyloose paint, sand the sur-face smooth, and prime thebare wood. Then apply oneor two coats of top quality100 per cent acrylic latexpaint. (Use leftover paint ifyou have it!)

• Don’t ignore rust spots.If iron doors, railings, orfences show signs of rust,correct the problems assoon as you can; otherwise,things will snowball over thewinter. Use a scraper and/or wire brush to remove therust, rinse away any parti-cles that remain, and primethe surfaces as soon asthey are dry. Complete thework by applying two thickcoats of 100 per cent acryliclatex paint.

• Caulk cracks and gaps.Any openings in yourhome’s exterior are notonly energy sieves, butalso serve as inviting entrypoints for insects and mice.Deal with both concerns bysealing cracks, gaps, andopen seams with a painta-

ble top quality acrylic caulk.Conceal the caulk by touch-ing up with leftover paint.

• Keep out the cold andmoisture. Storm windowsand storm doors are essen-tial defences against wind,rain, snow, and cold air. Ifyou have storm windowsand doors, put them upearly; if you don’t havethem, buy some. They willhelp pay for themselvesthrough lower energy bills

and tax credits.

• Clean the gutters. Keepa sound roof overheadby removing leaves, pineneedles, and other debrisfrom your rain gutters.Otherwise, trapped watermay form harmful “icedams” that can damageroofing shingles and cre-ate leaks — problems youcertainly won’t want to dealwith when the weather isbad.

From pillow and throws to flowers and food, there are many ways to bring a touch of the season to almost any room in the house

Decorate your home for fallThe air has cooleddown and fall is uponus again.

Autumn colours are allaround us as the trees losetheir summer splendour. Itis time to add a touch ofthe season to our homes.

Big pots of yellow, orangeand burgundy chrysanthe-mums can grace the frontsteps and can be planted inthe garden after blooming,before the frost.

Bright leaves of red andgold and an orange bowtied with a sprig of green-ery from the garden can bemounted on the front doorwith a hangar purchased atthe craft store. Sprinkle thearrangement with a watermist to keep it fresh as longas possible.

If you have a stool or highoutdoor table cover it with atablecloth of the season ormaybe a Halloween patternfor fun.

Place a huge pumpkin ontop and light a candle insideon Halloween night. Makesure the front porch lightilluminates it.

For inside the home, theliving room may feel more

festive with some new cush-ions for the couch, whichyou may have needed any-ways in a subtle shade oforange, plum, green andcream, which would suitany celebration.

How about a cozy newthrow in a darker tone fromthe cushions to match.The dining and kitchentables will be welcomingwith autumn patternedtablecloths and purple chry-santhemum centrepieces,which you can add dried orsilk flowers to in blue, whiteand peach.

Of course fresh bouquetsare best for a qualityarrangement and can stillbe found in the flowershops and super markets.Burgundy or green nap-kins could also be usedat Christmas if you havesome left over from autumnmeals.

If you have a chandelierover the table you couldstring tiny gold and winecoloured balls alternatelywith small pinecones oracorns and gourds from thecraft store and drape it fromeach tier of the light.

Pick up some amber orlight green wine and water

glasses at your local kitchenstore or home décor out-let. They too can be usedthroughout the seasons.

A fun food idea to put on

the plates for all friends andfamily members dining atyour home is adding a witchto the table. Shape mashedpotatoes in big balls forthe witch’s head adding a

witch hat (homemade orfrom the craft store) witheyes of green olives (withthe pimentos) using slimslices of red pepper for hermouth.

A small turnip tip is perfectfor the nose. Orange pep-pers can be hollowed outand filled with cooked corn,and replacing the top of thepepper and its stem. It willlook like a small pumpkin.

For dessert hollow out atangerine and fill it with liq-uorice ice cream purchasedfrom an ice cream store.Add orange jujubes cut intosmall pieces. Stick a smallor half of a big, Halloween,orange iced cookie into theice-cream.

Remember you can dothis all yourself and it ismuch fun changing up thehome décor and makingour homes interesting andattractive celebrating eachof the seasons.

Mildred SAVORY (nee Barker)

Mildred was born in Edmonton, Alberta on February5, 1923. She met her dearly beloved husbandHarry in Ottawa and in 1951, they settled inHawkesbury, Ontario where he had a long careerwith the CIP. They enjoyed golfing, curling, bridgeand an active social life while raising three children.When Dad was transferred to Montreal, Momfound a career as an AV Technician at John AbbottCollege.

They retired to Ottawa and began traveling. TheBob’s Lake cottage provided a happy destinationfor family gatherings. Although devastated in 1988when Harry died, Mom made the decision to carryon as best she could without him. She volunteeredat the Ottawa Experimental Farm, and at theNational Gallery, took up Tai Chi and continuedtraveling. She lovedmusic and theatre.

She was proactive in her own life decisions andwhen she decided to move to BC to be near herson Jim, she entrusted him to find her a place tolive. The condo at the Royal Oaks in Tsawwassenwas perfect in every way. For the past decadeMildred was delighted with her friends she met atNewcomers, S.O.S, the Delta Hospice Charity ThriftStore, in her neighborhood and through travelling.

Mildred was gregarious, loved life, enjoyed talkingto people and made friends for life everywhere.Her friendships sustained her and in return she wasan excellent listener and very loyal. She was fiercelyindependent, and had a great sense of humour.

Her travels were curtailed by increasing frailty, andshe was saddened by loss of friends, and mostlyrecently her dear brother Glen. When reflecting onher long life, she said her motto had been to livewithout regrets. She said every day she knew shewas a “lucky girl”.

Sadly, Friday, October 9th she finally succumbed toillness and passed away at the Delta Hospital. Sheis survived by daughters Joy (Fiset), Deb (Bancroft)and son Jim, nine grandchildren, and six greatgrandchildren.

The family wish to thank the staff at the DeltaHospital and especially Anna Erickson’s Ladybugzfor their kind care and support during Mom’s lastdifficult months.
