Delta has a new member ofParliament.Liberal Carla Qualtrough eas-
ily defeated Conservative cabinetminister Kerry-Lynne Findlay tocapture the new riding of Delta inMonday’s federal election.With all 214 polls reporting,
Qualtrough was more than 9,000votes ahead of Findlay after gar-nering 49.3 per cent of the popu-lar vote.Findlay, who was the minister
of national revenue, saw her sup-port drop to just 32.7 per cent.Voter turnout in Delta topped
75 per cent, although that numberis expected to drop slightly oncevoters who registered on electionday are factored in.Qualtrough was one of 184
Liberals elected across the coun-try to give the party a majoritygovernment.More than 100 jubilant support-
ers packed into Qualtrough’s ScottRoad campaign headquartersMonday night, chanting her nameas she took to the podium to make
her victory speech.“The passion and the vision and
the desire for change in Delta hasspoken so clearly over the pastmonths and the momentum that
we have gained over the past 78,79 days is quite humbling,” shesaid.Thanking family, volunteers
and supporters, Qualtrough prom-
ised to bring a “new style of busi-ness” to Delta.It was a somber mood at East
Delta Hall where about 100Findlay supporters gathered towatch the results, which weredisappointing both locally andnationally.

The winds of change cer-tainly blew through DeltaMonday as voters electedCarla Qualtrough, the area’sfirst Liberal MP in almost50 years.South Delta has not seen
Liberal representation inOttawa since Tom Goodewas elected in 1968.“At that time there was a
young, brilliant man namedTrudeau who became primeminister and it’s that wayagain tonight it wouldseem,” Qualtrough said toa crowd of more than 100supporters who gathered ather Scott Road campaignoffice Monday night.Goode was defeated by
John Reynolds and theProgressive Conservativesin 1972, which was fol-lowed by more than 40years of representationunder various right-wingparties, including Reform,the Canadian Alliance andthe Conservatives.Thanking her family,
volunteers and supporters,Delta’s new MP said she islooking forward to settingup shop in the riding.“I promise you all I
will work very hard as amember of Parliament forDelta. We’re going to havea new style of businesshere,” she said. “My door
will be open, I will returnyour emails, your calls.I will be there for you. Iwill advance your issues.I will fight for Delta andI will fight to get Canadaback. Tomorrow is a newday. Tomorrow we get ourCanada back.”Qualtrough said she is
committedto remain-ing openand trans-parent.“We can
make deci-sions as acommunity.I will notwait fouryears untilyou guyshear from me again.”The crowd cheered, the
piper piped and the moodwas buoyant early on assupporters watched theLiberal red wave spreadacross many parts of thecountry. The party won amajority with 184 seats,with the Conservativeswinning 99 to make up theofficial Opposition and theNDP taking just 44 seats.“The people have spo-
ken, they have told theworld that we want toreturn to our values ofequity and diversity andinclusion and compassionand peacekeeping and sci-ence and information… It’s
a new dawn, it’s a new eraand you guys are all partof history here tonight,”Qualtrough said. “Acrossthis country here we havemade history and tomorrowan even bigger and moreadventuresome journeybegins.”It was a night of firsts for
Qualtrough.In addition tobeing the firstLiberal electedin Delta sincethe 1960s, sheis also the firstParalympicathlete tobe electedfederally inCanada.Qualtrough,
who is legally blind, swamfor Canada in the Seouland Barcelona ParalympicGames in 1988 and 1992,winning three medals.Gaetan Tardif, presi-
dent of the CanadianParalympic Committee,sent out a congratulatorymessage Tuesday morningto Qualtrough as well asprime minister-elect JustinTrudeau and the LiberalParty.“I would also like to
congratulate Paralympicswimmer and human rightslawyer Carla Qualtrough,who won in the riding ofDelta, B.C.,” Tardif said.“I know Carla’s diverse
experience and dedicationto excellence will serve herwell in this new role.”Qualtrough said she
hopes her election successserves as an inspiration toothers living with a dis-ability.“As a Paralympic athlete
and someone with a dis-ability, it sends a message,I’m hoping, that no matterwhat adversity you face thatif you put your mind to ityou can achieve anything,”she said. “I hope it inspiresothers. I hope it inspiresyoung girls in particularwith disabilities to dreambig because I had thisdream and I’ve achieved itthanks to a lot of supportand help.”Following her historic
victory, Qualtrough said shewas feeling contemplative.“I’m feeling thoughtful.
This has been an incrediblejourney, we’ve achievedgreat things here for Delta,I think. We’ve achieveda new path for our com-munity and for our riding.We’ve not only unitedDelta but we’ve given it avision for hope and a visionfor change and a progres-sive vote coalesced aroundthe Liberal Party and I amthrilled, just thrilled.”And after 11 weeks of
campaigning, the real workbegins.“It’s humbling because
it’s a huge responsibil-ity. I’ve seen the job andI know the work that’sinvolved but I thinkthat South Delta wantedchange,” Qualtrough said.“I mean, clearly they did.They said that tonight butit’s what we’ve been hear-ing on the doorsteps formonths.”She said the support was
quiet at first, but becamelouder as the campaignwent on.“It’s been this progres-
sion in the confidence ofa non-Conservative vote,that it’s OK to not voteConservative in SouthDelta.”Despite a seem-
ingly growing support,Qualtrough said she wasnervous going into electionnight.“I was really nervous. I
didn’t take any of this forgranted. I did not knowwhat the outcome of tonightwould be at all. We did ourbest,” she said. “We had agame plan, we ran a posi-tive campaign. The resultshappened tonight.”

It was an honour servingDelta.Her voice trembling,
defeated first-termConservative incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay hadthat to say to a clearly dis-appointed crowd of about100 supporters and media atthe East Delta Hall Mondaynight.Findlay, who was first
elected in 2011 with awhopping 54 per cent ofthe vote in Delta-RichmondEast, saw her fortunes takea drastic turn on electionnight as she lost by a widemargin in the race for the
newly reconfigured Deltariding.Surrounded on stage by
family and friends, includ-ing Mayor Lois Jackson,Findlay said she’s proud ofwhat her government hasaccomplished as well aswhat she’s been able to dofor Delta.“But the electorate has
spoken. We have to under-stand that in a democracyit doesn’t always work outthe way some of us thinkit will. But it is, in fact, anhonour to be part of thisgreat democracy, this greatcountry of which I’m soproud,” she said.Findlay said she had
been looking forward to
serving all of Delta.Thanking her volunteers
and supporters, she alsosaid she has “a love in myheart for this community”and, if nothing else, thatwill be her lasting legacy.Findlay personally called
victorious Liberal candidateCarla Qualtrough as wellas NDP candidate JeremyLeveque to congratulatethem on running good cam-paigns.A lawyer who moved to
Ladner after winning theseat four years ago, shequickly ascended throughthe ranks to become minis-ter of national revenue.Coun. Ian Paton, who
was at the East Delta Hall,
said Findlay had done muchfor the municipality, includ-ing bringing in funding andarranging important meet-ings between municipal andkey federal officials.Brad Cooper, president
of the local electoral districtassociation, said Findlayput Delta back on the map.

Delta voters turned out atthe polls in large numbersMonday expecting a closerace that never materialized.The Optimist talked to
dozens of voters at poll-ing stations in North Deltaand South Delta, the vastmajority of whom thoughtthe outcome in the recon-figured riding of Deltawould come down to thewire. In the end, LiberalCarla Qualtrough was morethan 9,000 votes clear ofConservative incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay.Voter turnout was 75 per
cent, although that numberdoesn’t include voters thatregistered on election dayso the actual turnout will beslightly lower.Most of the voters who
were willing to talk to theOptimist outside GibsonElementary in North Deltasaid they thought the racewould be much closer thanprevious elections.Ron and Cheryl Miller
said they’d be voting forthe same party they votedfor in the last election anddidn’t see any reason tochange. They said they
didn’t see the Conservativesdominating in South Deltaas previous years and that itwas uncertain what wouldhappen in their community.With his voting card
in hand, Taylor Mah saidthis year’s federal elec-tion seemed certainlymore contentious. He saidnow that North Delta andSouth Delta are together hewas hopeful things wouldchange.“I think it might be a bit
better representation nowthat all of Delta is together,instead of Delta and partsof Surrey or Richmond,”he said.Saying this year’s elec-
tion was probably the mostinteresting and riveting in along time, Sonny Walia alsosaid he got the sense thisyear’s race in Delta wouldbe close.At Tsawwassen’s Pebble
Hill Elementary voting sta-tion, several who arrivedbut didn’t want their namespublished agreed this year’srace seemed more conten-tious. One voter remarkedthey would be sticking withthe Conservatives but thatit might be a much closerrace for Findlay this timearound.
Several said they gotthe sense there would bea change in South Delta,where voters usually sup-ported the Conservatives bya wide margin.Rick Campbell said he
got the feeling from hiscircle that things could bechanging in South Delta aswell as North Delta.At what was a busy
Holly Elementary votingstation in East Ladner, itwas more of the same withpeople saying it was a muchmore riveting election, bothnationally and locally, andthat it looked like it might
be a close one in Delta.When asked if she
thought things couldchange, one voter saidboldly, “Oh yes!”Lori McLean, mean-
while, said the large num-ber of people who went outto vote at the advance pollswas a good indicator therewas a lot of interest.McLean added North
Delta would make thingsinteresting.Sandra Kirk, who recent-
ly moved to Ladner, saidit seemed like a conten-tious race both locally andnationally.“I just know that it’s
intense and a lot of peopleare wanting to get out thereand vote. I really hopepeople will go out and voteand I really do believe weare lucky in this countrythat we’re able to vote,” shesaid.
Voters expected closer race in new ridingPolling stations busy with 75 per cent turnout in Delta, but nail-biter that many anticipated didn’t materialize

Elected Member of ParliamentCarla Qualtrough
New Democrat candidateJeremy Leveque said themajority of Canadians werehungry for change this elec-tion, however many werenot interested in what theNDP had to offer.“People desperately
wanted change. Theywanted to get away fromthe Harper Conservativesand I can’t blame them,”he said. “That’s precisely
why I put my name in thering because I wanted to bethe agent of that change…We ran the best campaignthat we could, we stoodon our principles and wemade Canadians a seriousoffer and unfortunately forus they chose to go withanother offer, but that’sdemocracy.”Support for the NDP
slipped nationally as well ashere in Delta.Leveque garnered just 15
per cent of the vote, com-ing in third behind LiberalCarla Qualtrough andConservative incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay.In 2011, NDP candidate
Nic Slater ran second toFindlay in Delta-RichmondEast and the party madeup the official Opposition
by winning 103 seats. Thistime the party won just 44seats.Leveque, a long-time
party member, said the NDPwill now have four years toconnect with Canadians.“Today is election day
of the 42nd election but it’sthe start of the 43rd elec-tion if nothing else,” he saidMonday night.Leveque had praise for
Qualtrough.“She and I may disagree
on things in terms of policybut she was an honour-able competitor and I thinkshe will make an excellentmember of Parliament forDelta,” he said.Green Party candidate
Anthony Devellano gar-nered just three per cent ofthe vote.
Voters embrace change,but not necessarily NDP

Delta students voted for aLiberal government.Students at Delta’s public
and private schools, includ-ing 26 public secondary andelementary schools, tookpart in a parallel federalvoting process known asStudent Vote, a nationwideinitiative that saw almostevery federal electoral dis-trict participate. It’s aimedat teaching students aboutelections and the votingprocess firsthand to buildthe habits of an informedand engaged citizenship.Civics and social studies
classes studied campaignplatforms and literature,with every student in theparticipating schools gettinga chance, if they wanted,to cast a ballot, which wereidentical to what their par-ents would see on electionday.Delta Secondary saw a
strong turnout last Thursdayand Friday as studentsselected a representativefrom among the four candi-dates in the newly reconfig-ured riding of Delta.Those results combined
with the numbers district-wide saw the majority votefor Carla Qualtrough to beDelta’s next MP and herLiberals to form the nextgovernment.
Scott Wilkinson, 16, saidthe exercise was valuable inhelping him understand thepolitical process and how tovote. He said he admits hehas a bit of a left-wing bias
and that it was unfortunateNDP Leader Tom Mulcairhad dropped in the polls.“I think that coalition
between the NDP andLiberals would be his-
torically significant and Iwould love to see that hap-pen” he said.Mitch Robinson, also 16,
said he learned a lot fromthe Student Vote initiative.
“I’m learning a lot moreabout politics because poli-tics is something that I’minterested in. It might bea field that I will go into.All the stuff we learned inthis civics class, it’s fun,”he said.Robinson, who drew a
few scoffs from his friendsstanding close by, saidhe thought ConservativeLeader Stephen Harper wasthe logical choice.“Mulcair doesn’t know
what he’s talking aboutand (Liberal Leader Justin)Trudeau is promising bigdeficits in the next fewyears for a plan that may ormay not work,” he added.Civics teacher John
Powell said this year’s elec-tion campaign drew a lot ofinterest from students. Hesaid many of his studentsare political and with somevery definite ideologies.

MURPHY’SLAW
What seemed unfathomable not thatlong ago became reality Monday.Although this area had been repre-
sented by a right-of-centre MP for aslong as most people can remember, thevibe around here as the marathon fed-eral election campaign lurched towarda merciful conclusion had a decidedlyun-Conservative feel. The more people Italked to, and the more indicators I cameacross, it became increasingly apparentthat a Liberal victory was possible.As I mentioned in this space last
week, I initially had a difficult timewrapping my head around the idea ofa Conservative defeat given the party’smargin of victory in recent elections, butit was hard to ignore a growing senti-ment that four decades of Conservative/Reform representation could well becoming to an end. The way in which itdid was quite surprising, however, asI don’t think even the biggest Liberalboosters envisioned the substantial mar-gin of victory ultimately enjoyed by newMP Carla Qualtrough, who receivedalmost 50 per cent of the vote comparedto just 32.7 per cent for incumbentKerry-Lynne Findlay.Monday’s result here and elsewhere
in the country was definitely a rebuke ofStephen Harper, but the Conservativesstill managed to win 99 seats and cap-ture 32 per cent of the popular vote, soit wasn’t like the party was decimatedby any means. Locally, however, it mostcertainly suffered a body blow.We’re dealing with different riding
boundaries, but it’s hard not to pointto the precipitous drop in support forFindlay from the whopping 54 per centshe received as a newcomer four yearsago. This time around her party wasdown about eight per cent across theboard, but she lost almost triple thatamount.Although she was a well-respected
cabinet minister in charge of the nationalrevenue portfolio, there was a definitesense among voters that she was repre-senting Ottawa’s interest here, not Delta’sinterests in our nation’s capital. There’sno doubt she had pull in Conservativecircles as was evidenced by the pre-writspending spree around here, but as muchas she tried to convince voters she stoodup for them and their issues, I don’t thinkthat message ever really took hold.And when provided with a viable
alternative in Qualtrough, an articulatehuman rights lawyer who pressed theright buttons by campaigning as a strongvoice for Delta, one who would genuine-ly listen to their concerns and championtheir causes, voters were quick to jumpship.

Quote: “The trouble with energyfarming is that the energy isn’talways where you want to use it,and it isn’t always when you wantto use it.”— Bill GatesI attended the Kee Philosophers’
presentation recently titledGreenhouse Growers – IsAgriculture Sustainable? The pre-senter was Ron Moes from WindsetFarms who gave an informativeoverview of this developing indus-try. We had ample time to askquestions, which Moes answered ina straightforward manner.It costs about $1 million per
acre to set up the infrastructure fora greenhouse operation. There are60 greenhouses in B.C., rangingin size from two to 109 acres fora total of 755 acres. Canada hasgreenhoused 3,300 acres comparedto the U.S. with only 1,300 acres.Although Ontario has the highest
number of greenhouses, Moes saidDelta has the best growing condi-tions of anywhere in Canada. It’sall about sunlight and length of thegrowing season.
Windset sells internationally tothe U.S., Japan and Saudi Arabia.It is a $1.3 billion industry inCanada.Crops currently include toma-
toes, peppers, cukes, lettuce,eggplant and, recently, strawber-ries. Strawberries are a challengeas consumers seem to prefer thelarge California berries as opposedto our smaller, but much tastier,berries. Moes hopes, with market-ing, this U.S. mindset of “bigger isbetter” will change.He also acknowledged that
greenhouse tomatoes have lessflavour than the old way of grow-ing. He personally grows his ownheirloom varieties at home butexplained they do not last longbecause sunlight turns them mushyquicker.Queried about marijuana, yes,
that too could be a crop.Issues such as light pollution,
trucks, spraying and power sourcesbrought these responses. Lights areturned off between 6 p.m. and 2a.m., which is why you might see abright pink sky in the middle of thenight, especially with low clouds.As to birds, studies have shown
there has been minimal impact onmigrations as towns and cities havea much greater effect than green-houses.During the summer there could
be 30 to 40 trucks a day movingproducts. I imagine this is an ongo-ing source of contention for their
neighbours.Windset spends about $1 million
a year on bug control. It doesn’tuse insecticides, preferring to usegood bugs to get rid of bad bugs.Insecticides would also eliminatethe good bugs. Their systems arecontrolled by computers and build-ings are powered by natural gas.They recirculate water, extract CO2that plants like and use precisiondrippers.This industry is labour-intensive
and it is it is hard to find localswho want to do the job, which iswhy they have to bring in about 30per cent of their labour force fromMexico and Guatemala. They startat minimum wage but incentivesand bonuses are offered so thosewho are motivated and hard-work-ing can make much more. Windsetis looking for people, especiallythose with a green thumb.It is a developing industry that
can grow year around and produce10 to 20 times the amount of foodcompared to the same acreage intraditional farming.Trending are rooftop greenhous-

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Re: Delta should treas-
ure our trees, not cut themdown, letter to the editor,
Oct. 7I share Vicki
Huntington’s views. Itis truly baffling that ourmunicipality and the DeltaStreet business owners donot see the value in keep-ing the mature trees liningDelta Street and, instead,support the policy of cut-ting them down as soon asthey are deemed inconven-ient.I have lived in and
walked around LadnerVillage for more than twodecades and I find MichaelRudd’s (in his letter to the
editor of Oct. 9) charac-terization of the sad andpotentially dangerous stateof Delta Street sidewalks tobe overstated.Certainly some man-
agement of the sidewalksis necessary due to themature tree roots growingunderneath. And, as Ruddpointed out, this is done ona regular basis. I note themunicipality has been, insome sections, trying outthat rubberized pavementalternative, and this seemsto be working well.It is short-sighted not
to recognize the benefitsof these trees lining DeltaStreet far outweigh theirinconveniences. These ben-
efits include: shade, charm,colour, vibrancy, carbon forimproved air quality, andoffering resting and nestingplaces for our neighbour-hood birds and small crea-tures.Like Huntington, I
believe every effort shouldbe made to protect themature trees in all partsof our community. Someof these trees along DeltaStreet must be 40 yearsold (or older) and if treatedproperly, they will graceus with their presence farlonger than any of the busi-nesses currently on DeltaStreet.If removed and replaced
by young trees, Delta Street
will not be the same for avery long time.I hope Delta has actively
sought out and consideredthe opinions of many inter-est groups within this com-munity regarding this issuerather than just those of theDelta Street businesses.These mature trees are
essential to the charm ofDelta Street. They are amajor reason why our vil-lage attracts local visitors,tourists and the film indus-try.Valuing and protecting
mature trees throughout thiscommunity is long-termthinking that is beneficialto us all.
Theresa Bamford
Editor:Re: Strategy already in works, Oct. 7
Why does it take a drastic upheaval like the new mallsfor the community (including municipal hall) to makechanges that should have been started a long time ago?If there wasn’t the money for it before, where will it
come from now?Looking forward to seeing Ladner and Tsawwassen
get spruced up, including having the roads redone. It’sway past due.
Ursula Easterbrook
Editor:Countdown back on formalls, Oct. 14
The recent articlefeaturing the upcomingTsawwassen Mills mallhas a line that states thepaving of the 6,000-stallparking lot is well under-way. Joni Mitchell nailed
it many years ago whenshe sang, “Pave paradise,put up a parking lot.”That is exactly what
is happening. One of theworld’s most productivefarmlands is now buriedunder asphalt. This is pro-gress?

Editor:Re: Judge rejects appealover radio towers, Oct. 9Kudos to the Cross
Border Coalition to Stopthe Radio Towers. Theyshowed us how the popu-lace of representative
democracies should prop-erly interact with thoseelected and appointed tomake decisions for them.They did so facing issuesgreatly complicated byinternational boundariesand interests.
Their approach was allabout persuasion basedupon fact and reason.Obstructionist tactics we sooften suffer — rowdiness,sit-ins and in-your-face con-frontations — were avoidedand racial overtones non-
existent.They demonstrated how
to correctly and success-fully support and influencegovernment decision mak-ing. We should all thankthem.

Our 4th annual Oktoberfest was a huge success. Thanks to all those who came, and a special thanks to our sponsors!
Casually gatheredwithin a classroom at SandsSecondary in North Delta,a group of students, parentsand teachers discuss whatstudents really need to learnin school. The conversationflows naturally, with every-one having an opportunityto engage in meaningfuldialogue about education.“The most powerful
thing about EdCamp isthat students, teachers andparents are all on the samelevel — everyone’s voicematters and we are all hereto learn together,” saidAaron Akune, principal atSands and an organizer ofEdCamp Delta.Now in its fifth year,
EdCamp Delta is billed as
an “unconference.” A typi-cal conference consists ofa pre-determined line-up ofsessions and speakers, withspeakers usually lecturingto an audience. EdCamp, onthe other hand, allows theattendees to determine andfacilitate topics.The day begins with
attendees suggesting ses-sion topics and voting onthem. From there, the mostpopular sessions are select-ed and a schedule for theday is created.At this year’s EdCamp
Delta, which took placeearlier this month, roughly175 attendees narroweddown topics to 28 ses-sions, everything from col-laboration and diversity to
environmental content andpreparing students for thereal world.Within each session
people shared and engagedin conversations aimed atdeepening understanding ofthe topics. The goal is thatvia collaborative learning,ideas and best practices willdevelop and evolve.“EdCamp is really
empowering for our stu-dents. It provides a platformfor student voice. Plus itconnects our educators tostudents, to parents andto colleagues in way thatenables meaningful profes-sional growth,” said NeilStephenson, director oflearning services for theDelta school district.

The phone book, it seemsto me, is about as useful asthe wringer washer, the cas-sette tape recorder and thetransistor radio.Haven’t had a transistor
since I was a teen. Haven’tseen a wringer washer sinceI was last in my Nana’sbasement. Oh, 25 or 30years ago.But my house is full of
phone books.Never would I think to
use one — that is, to lookup someone’s number.If I do anything with
them at all, itwill be to pileone on top ofthe other so Ican dust thetop of curtainrod.Call me
new-fash-ioned, butwhen I wantto find theaddress of thenearest car-pet store, I do that searchonline.And the sons? If I put
a phone book in front ofthem, they’d look at it asif it was a Polaroid cam-era. Which is to say, theywouldn’t know what to dowith it.I might try to explain. I
might explain the difference
betweenthe whitepages andthe yellowpages. Imight tellthem thesebooks comewithouta searchengine.Listen, Imight say,when you
want to find something, youdon’t go to Google, plugin some key words and hitenter.You actually have to turn
pages. It will help, I mightadd, if you know how tohunt alphabetically.But that would just con-
fuse them.A phone book? About as
perplexing as an encyclope-dia or a manual typewriter.The sons — like most
folks of their generation— would no doubt be con-founded by the latter.(What’s that? When you
make a mistake on a type-writer, you can’t just deleteit? There’s no opportunityto cut and paste? Or sendyour words to a printer?What the heck’s up with
that?)A phone book, to them,
would be about as useful asan address book, a roll offilm or a turntable.(Huh, they might ask?
You put a round, blackthing on the turntable andthen you put some littleneedle thing on the roundthing and it plays music?Can I take this thing onSkyTrain?)
They’ll never see a turn-table, of course, let alone avinyl record. Yet, there arephone books all over thehouse, staring them in theface.They may be truly past
their prime, but I’ll keepthem around for the timebeing.Like anything else
museum-bound, they maybe worth cash some day.

Lisa Heiberg and DougSpencer successfullyclimbed Mt. Kilimanjarolast month to raise aware-ness and money forAlzheimer’s.The Tsawwassen husband
and wife team took part inAscent for Alzheimer’s,a seven-day climb up anddown Africa’s tallest moun-tain.“It’s quite the experi-
ence when you make it upthere. It’s really cool,” saidSpencer.It was dark outside for
the first six or seven hoursof the hike on their summitpush.“You leave at 11:30 at
night. All you see is a longtrail of headlamps that gointo what looks like infin-ity,” said Heiberg. “Thenwhen you’re getting closeto the top, you see the sun-rise coming up.”Their group had eight
climbers, a climb leader anda support group of over 30cooks, porters and guides.The trek was physically
tough and the pace wasslow, due to the climbersacclimatizing to the alti-tude.“As you’re going up, I
was thinking of stuff like,people with Alzheimer’s[and] how they sufferdaily,” said Spencer.They were able to raise
about $24,000. He said theygot very good local supportwhile fundraising.
The cause is of specialsignificance to the coupleas Spencer’s father died lastAugust after a multi-yearbattle with the disease. Thecouple, who are both policeofficers, also deal withAlzheimer’s sufferers fre-quently through their jobs.For more on Ascent for

Experts Make the Difference
Yesterday markedthe passing one yearago of a remarkableBritish Columbianwho single-hand-edly launched anationwide battle toalert Canadians tothe dangers of ourmost common, yetlargely unknown,genetic disorder:hereditary hemo-chromatosis.To honour Marie
Warder’s memoryand continue thelate Tsawwassenwoman’s work,the CanadianHemochromatosisSociety, which shefounded, is embark-ing on a campaignto fund developmentof a self-diagnosticcomputer application tohelp individuals determineif they may be one of theestimated 80,000 Canadianswho have the disorder, butdon’t know it.Hemochromatosis
impairs the body’s abilityto eliminate excess iron andaffects about one in 300Canadians. If undiagnosedand untreated, this excessiron accumulates in theorgans or joints and oftenresults in debilitating andsometimes fatal diseases,including cancer, heart dis-ease, liver cirrhosis, diabe-tes and arthritis.Tragically, three-quarters
of the Canadians who arethought to have hereditaryhemochromatosis — anestimated 80,000 people —have never been diagnosedand may not realize theirhealth is acutely at risk.
When Warder’s husbandTom was diagnosed withiron overload, his body hadsuffered irreversible dam-age, and he eventually diedof hemochromatosis-relatedcancer in 1992. Warder,who was born in SouthAfrica, made it her missionto ensure others would notneedlessly suffer the samefate.She founded the
Canadian HemochromatosisSociety, theHemochromatosis Societyof South Africa and theInternational Associationof HemochromatosisSocieties. She wrote aground-breaking book oninherited hemochromatosis,more than 300 articles onthe subject and extensivepatient literature that hasgone to more than 16 coun-tries.She appeared on national
TV to tell herstory and alertCanadians to thedisorder. Shepersuaded theCanadian RedCross to acceptblood donationsfrom peoplewith hemo-chromatosisand convincedConsumerand CorporateAffairs Canadato clarify lan-guage regardingiron content onfood labels.“It is amaz-
ing how onevery determinedwoman man-aged to spreadthe word aboutthis common yet
surprisingly little-knowndisorder,” says Dr. SamKrikler, director of theDepartment of LaboratoryMedicine at SurreyMemorial Hospital. “Weurgently need to continueher work as thousands ofCanadians still don’t knowthey have this potentiallydeadly yet easily treatedcondition.”The Canadian
Hemochromatosis Societyis appealing to Canadians tocontinue the legacy of thisgreat but largely unsungBritish Columbian by help-ing to fund developmentof a self-diagnostic app toassist individuals in deter-mining if they might be atrisk of having hemochro-matosis. Online donationscan be made by visiting thesociety’s website at www.toomuchiron.ca.

If Burns Bog has a sav-iour, it’s Eliza Olson.The first and only presi-
dent of the long-establishedBurns Bog ConservationSociety, Olson has workedtirelessly for more than25 years, with minimalresources, to provide advo-cacy and education on thebog’s importance to theregion’s flora and fauna,to the bird population ofthe entire continent and tothe overall ecology of theFraser delta.She received an hon-
ourary degree fromKwantlen PolytechnicUniversity last month in
front of hundreds of gradu-ates, many of whom havelikely been alive for lesstime than Olson has beenfighting for Burns Bog.“She has persistently
stood up to protect BurnsBog and the region’swetlands from furtherencroachment,” said Dr.Alan Davis, president andvice-chancellor of KPU.Davis said Olson rep-
resents the very best insustained and dedicatedservice to the region, andhe notes that much of herwork aligns with KPU’sprogramming and scholarlyinterests.
For her part, Olson wasthrilled to get the call fromDavis a few weeks agothat she’d been named toreceive an honourary doc-torate; it took days for thegood news to sink in.“Not bad for a little
kid from Meadow Lake,Saskatchewan, right?” shelaughed.In 1988, Olson became
the founding president ofthe Burns Bog ConservationSociety and in so doingengaged the broader com-munity, government andvarious service agencies indiscussions about the futureof the largest raised peat
bog on the west coast ofNorth America.These initial discussions
and the years of advocacythat followed ultimatelyresulted in the purchase ofmore than 2,000 hectares(5,000 acres) of Burns Bogby four levels of govern-ment in 2004. The purchaseensures the bog is protectedand managed effectively asa natural ecosystem.“Our organization, as
small as it is, is probablythe largest of its kind inB.C., and perhaps Canada,that focuses on peatlands,”said Olson. “Because peat-lands only cover three per
cent of the Earth’s surface,the issue of saving and pro-tecting them is coming tothe forefront of the UnitedNations and other coun-tries like Ireland, the UK,Finland and Holland.”Unlike great Douglas
fir trees or vast tracts ofrainforest, peatlands aresmall in stature and soggyin nature, made up of deadand decaying plants. Olsoncalls them the “littlest
Lilliputians” because theystore 10 times more carbonper hectare than rainforests.Olson is currently
focused on creating a naturecentre to offer a variety ofindoor and outdoor pro-grams focusing on thebog. She envisions an eco-tourism facility that wouldenhance the public profileof Burns Bog and ensurethis unique wetland remainsprotected in perpetuity.

Ladner resident Brenda Holland was admitted to Delta Hospital on December 28th, 2006, with a cerebral aneurism. Brenda spent manydays at Delta Hospital and then underwent rehab, however, when complications developed, doctors discovered an inoperable tumour. Oneyear later to the date of her first admission, she was admitted once again with the cancer that would eventually take her life on January 6th,2008.
George Holland, her loving husband of 47 years described Brenda as outgoing and hard working. “We had a lot of fun,” says George,describing the times they would share with friends and family at their weekend home on Pender Island.
As a long term supporter of Delta Hospital, George wanted to give back to his community. He wanted to acknowledge the hospital andmedical team that supported Brenda, and to create a fitting legacy in loving memory of his wife.
This is why George hasmade a generous gift of over $86,000 inmemory of Brenda, to theResults: Healthy & Growing Campaign to expand and enhance Delta Hospital’s Medical Imagingand Laboratory Departments. RESULTS: HEALTHY & GROWING Campaign | dhfoundation.ca

Small and medium-sizedbusinesses are the cor-nerstone of the Canadianeconomy. They accountfor 99.9 per cent of allCanadian companies andemploy close to 90 per centof private sector workers.For 36 years, the
Business DevelopmentBank of Canada has organ-ized BDC Small BusinessWeek in recognition of thecontributions and achieve-ments of Canada’s entrepre-neurs. Events held duringthe week bring entrepre-neurs together at confer-ences, luncheons and tradefairs across the countrywhere they have the oppor-tunity to learn, network andenjoy themselves in thecompany of their peers.BDC Small Business
Week activities provide anopportunity to celebrate,develop new skills, makenew contacts and plan for
new opportunities.BDC Small Business
Week 2015 takes placeOct. 18 to 24 under thetheme KNOCK DOWNBARRIERS. DARE TOGROW.Daring to grow is never
an easy task. Inevitably,there are barriers thatneed to be knocked downas entrepreneurs navi-gate the path to success.Confronting challenges isessential if they want toplay in today’s competitiveglobal environment.It is not only about
having the will, but alsoabout having the tools andresources to do so, bothfinancial and non-financial.BDC Small Business Week2015 is a time to acknowl-edge the important impactof Canada’s business com-munity and to encourageentrepreneurs to knockdown barriers and dare to
grow.BDC Small Business
Week is a BusinessDevelopment Bank ofCanada trademark whoseorigins date back to 1979when BDC business cen-tres in B.C.’s lower FraserValley pooled their resourc-es to organize a week ofactivities for entrepreneurs.This first event and the
one that followed in 1980were so successful thatBDC officially launchedBDC Small Business Weekacross Canada in 1981.The initiative was quicklyadopted by Canada’s busi-ness community.In 2014, over 300 activi-
ties across Canada attractedclose to 10,000 businesspeople to BDC SmallBusiness Week. This BDCflagship event celebratesentrepreneurship at thelocal, provincial and nation-al levels.

Local businesses cancompete more effectivelywith larger companies intheir neighbourhoods byharnessing the largely-underutilized field of socialmedia, says one localexpert.Brian Bevilacqua, senior
manager for communica-tions and public relations atFirst West Credit Union andits Envision Financial divi-sion, says he sees enormouspotential for the many localbusinesses he comes incontact with to boost theirbrand recognition throughonline social networkslike Facebook, Twitter,Instagram, Pinterest,Google Plus, Yelp and oth-ers.“Social media plays an
increasingly important rolein the way we as humans
do business and make pur-chasing decisions. Largenational and internationalcompanies know this andhave invested significantresources in slick socialmedia programs,” he says,“but smaller local busi-nesses often struggle to takeadvantage of social media.”Bevilacqua says that a
lack of time and resourcesis one obstacle to smallbusinesses getting active insocial media. A more com-mon challenge is a lack ofsocial media know-how.“If a small business
owner didn’t grow upwith social media or isn’tnaturally inclined towardstechnology in general, get-ting their business activein social media can seem adaunting prospect,” he says.“It doesn’t have to be,
though. The technologiesthemselves are actuallyquite simple, and if youestablish clear goals, you’llbe able to strategicallyinvest your precious timeand energy in the rightsocial media activities, soyou can grow your onlinebrand presence with mini-mal time commitment.”Bevilacqua advises small
business owners apprehen-sive of taking first steps insocial media to consult withmillennial generation col-leagues, friends or familymembers, and to tap intothe wealth of online knowl-edge on using social mediafor business.“You may find yourself
pleasantly surprised at justhow easy social media canbe and how much you enjoyparticipating,” he says.

She and Earl spent many hours on the PrairieDrift of the Fraser River near Ladner on their gillnetter the “Queen Bee”. She lovedto travel, and visited Alaska, the Maritimes, California, Mexico, Hawaii and NewZealand numerous times. Although macular degeneration eventually robbed her ofeyesight, she remained independent into her 90th year. She loved her flowergarden and her wild birds, and grumbled about “ those darn squirrels “ that dined ather bird feeder.
