Declining enrollment hasforced the board to make alot of tough financial deci-sions over the years, includ-ing six years ago when trus-

tees went so far as to closeDelta Manor and BoundaryBeach elementary schools.This spring, the board

handled a $2 million deficit

with a much less painfulbudget, with none of thecuts directly impacting theclassroom or programs.To offset enrollment

losses that impacted thedistrict’s bottom line, theboard has pushed through a

number of revenue generat-ing initiatives to attract out-of-district students, includ-ing opening specialty acad-emies as well as increasingthe number of internationalstudents, areas the districtcontinues to focus on mov-

ing forward.The average per-pupil

funding from the provinceis now an estimated $8,902,so having more students inits system means signifi-cantly more dollars for thedistrict’s operating budget.

Voter turnout hit a20-year high with thisweek’s federal election andthe new riding of Deltarecorded some of the high-est in the country.Nationally, voter turnout

was 68.49 per cent, thehighest since the 1993 elec-tion, which coincidentallysaw the majority of vot-ers reject the ProgressiveConservative Party underthen prime minister KimCampbell in favour of JeanChretien’s Liberals with

the Bloc Quebecois makingup the official Opposition.The newly created ReformParty, one of the pre-cursorsto the current ConservativeParty, won 52 of 295 avail-able seats. Voter turnoutwas 70.9 per cent in thatelection.This time around it was

Justin Trudeau’s Liberalsthat ousted Stephen Harperand the Conservativeswinning 184 of the 338seats available. TheConservatives won 99 seatsto make up the officialOpposition. The NDP won44 seats, down from 103

in the last election, and theBloc Quebecois ended upwith 10 seats.Here in Delta, voter turn-

out was 75.11 per cent, oneof the highest in the prov-ince. Saanich-Gulf Islands,which is home to GreenParty Leader ElizabethMay, had the highest voterturnout in B.C. with 79.47per cent of eligible voterscasting a ballot.The ridings of Victoria,

Courtenay-Alberni, NorthVancouver and Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke were theonly ones with a higherturnout than Delta, ranging

from 77.21 to 75.94 percent.The average for the prov-

ince was 70.36 per cent.The riding of Ottawa

Centre had the highest voterturnout in the country with82.22 per cent of casting aballot.Voter turnout in the

newly configured Delta rid-ing this election was at least10 points higher than theturnout in the last four elec-tions in Delta-RichmondEast. Only 59.65 per cent ofeligible voters cast a ballotin 2011. Voter turnout in theriding was 60.06 per cent

in 2008, 64.98 per cent in2006 and 63.97 in 2004.Voter turnout numbers

are based on preliminaryresults and do not includevoters that registered onelection day.

Burnt out light leads to impaired driver

A Surrey man is fac-ing charges after allegedlystabbing a co-worker atDeltaport earlier this week.Delta police were called

to the port just after 1 a.m.Tuesday.A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow

said it appears two long-shoremen got into an argu-ment, which escalated tothe point where one manstabbed the other.The victim was taken

to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries and wit-nesses were able to subdue

the suspect until officersarrived.One witness received a

minor cut, but he did notrequire medical treatment.“At this time, it’s

unknown what caused thedispute or why it escalatedso quickly to a stabbing,”Swallow said.The suspect, Dalvir

Singh Mangat, 59, appearedin court later Tuesday andis facing charges of aggra-vated assault, assault with aweapon and uttering threatsto cause death or bodilyharm.He remains in police

custody.

The dredging of localchannels of the Fraser Riverwas completed earlier thisyear, however work contin-ues on establishing a long-term maintenance plan.A Delta staff report to

civic politicians earlierthis month outlined thefact there is $1.5 millionleft over from the $10 mil-lion in funding set asideto dredge local channels.The funds must be used forfuture maintenance dredg-ing and staff will work withPort Metro Vancouver andthe provincial governmentto determine where themoney will be kept until itis needed and how it can beused for maximum effec-tiveness.While this funding, and

the completed dredging is astart, many recognize that along-term plan and fundingare needed.“The completion of

these dredging works aftermore than 20 years withoutdredging is a significantachievement, and the ben-efits will be felt throughoutthe local community foryears to come,” the staff

report reads. “However, theriver continues to depositsediment each year and,without regular mainte-nance and dredging, thechannels will continue tofill in and will eventuallyreach a critical point whena major dredging effort willonce again be required.”The Ladner Sediment

Group, a grassroots collec-tion of residents that set outto lobby the port authorityand all levels of govern-ment for funding to clearthe local channels, has longmaintained that a long-termplan is required.“…the absence of a sus-

tainable maintenance pro-gram to prevent the chan-nels from silting back inmeans the benefits will beshort-lived and the welfareof Delta residents at riskagain,” chair John Roscoewrote in a recent edition ofthe Optimist.Established in 2008, the

Ladner Sediment Groupworked for several years toget some of the local sec-ondary channels dredged.Until 1998, dredging ofall channels was a federalresponsibility. In 1999, theport authority took overdredging of the main navi-

gational channel only. Inthe ensuing years, silt beganto build up in many of thesecondary channels. InLadner, some areas of theriver were reduced to justa few feet, leaving boatsgrounded and wreakinghavoc on float homes, dur-ing low tides.In 2013, $10 million in

funding, which includedcontributions from PortMetro Vancouver, Delta,Richmond and the province,was announced. The workto clear the sediment finallybegan last January and wascompleted this past March.According to the Delta

staff report, in 2009 PortMetro Vancouver estab-lished a 10-year local chan-nel contribution programto provide funding of up to$500,000 per channel, forriverfront communities todredge secondary water-ways.Delta has already used

up all of its available fund-ing and the municipality isasking the port authorityto renew and continue theprogram until alternativefunding is secured.Staff will also continue

to look for long-term fund-ing options.

Esteemed artist MargaretArmstrong Elliot spent thelast week of her life in theIrene Thomas Residence ofthe Delta Hospice Society,where she died Sept. 11.She had been diagnosedwith brain cancer in lateJune, immediately follow-ing her participation in theFull Monty life drawingshow at the South DeltaArtists Guild Gallery 1710.With great courage

matched by the support ofher family, and after study-ing all the possibilities, shechose quality of life overthe uncertainties of surgery.As she said when makingher decision known: “I havehad a good life.” She willbe remembered with a cel-ebration of life event hostedby her family at Gallery1710 this Sunday from 1 to3 p.m.That life began on Nov.

12, 1931 in one of themost beautiful places in theworld, since 1951 known asthe Lake District NationalPark, in Cumbria, England.The first child of Mary andJohn Armstrong was born

at Paddockwray, the familysheep-farm near the tinyvillage of Boot.The Armstrongs also

ran the nearby WoolpackInn, on the road leadingto the notoriously difficultHardknott Pass. A smallhostelry built of graniteand blue slate, the inn, likePaddockwray, originated inthe 16th century.The coast, mountains,

lakes and passes of thearea that borders Scotlandgave rise to a fascinatinghistory of settlements, inva-sions, raids, theft and war.Celts, Romans, Norsemen,Normans and Scots, plusassorted monarchs, allinfluenced the place Elliotcalled home.Elliot and her four sib-

lings learned about wherethey lived, how sheepfarms were run and cropsgrown, and how to helpcity visitors enjoy theircountry summers. Spurredby her natural curiosity,she studied nature, workedon her inborn artistic talentand acquired the disciplinerequired to keep family,farm and inn functioning attheir best.She took fine arts and

science at King’s College,Durham University, lead-ing to a career in medicaltechnology. She lived inthe UK, California, Ontarioand Alberta before settlingin Vancouver and work-ing with the Canadian RedCross Society.Art was always vital to

her, and in 1990 she joinedthe South Delta ArtistsGuild and the Federationof Canadian Artists, bothplaying significant roles inthe rest of her life. She wasawarded the FCA’s top hon-our as a signature memberin 2007, and the frequentdisplay of her distinctive

watercoloursbrought ever-increasingrecognition.Dene

Croft, presi-dent of FCA,wrote onlearning ofher passing:“We havelost one ofour finest.”Sandra

Taylor, athree-termguild presi-dent andoutstandingabstract art-ist, recallsher long-standingfriendshipwith Elliotbegan whenthey metthrough lifedrawing ses-

sions and workshops.“Over the years we

became mentor and stu-dent. Margaret was alwaystalking about composition,drawing, design and manyother aspects of painting.More than anything else,I remember her constant

encouragement to keeppainting in my own wayand to believe in myself.”As a special tribute at the

celebration of life, Elliot’sfamily has set up a processto both benefit the IreneThomas Residence and toshare her art and providememories for her friends. Awide selection of Elliot’s art— framed and matted paint-ings, drawings and sketches— is on display and can beexchanged for a donation tothe Delta Hospice Society.Every donation over $20 iseligible for a charitable taxreceipt.Elliot left another leg-

acy. She was an excellentwriter with an extraordinarymemory who three yearsago began work on a familyhistory for her two youngTsawwassen grandchildren.Friends’ encouragementled to its submission to,and acceptance by, a LakeDistrict publisher, andElliot was able to designthe cover, include paintingsand photos, and proofreadmost of the 16 chapters.Native in Eskdale:

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

It’s been five years since we lost him,but his memory is still very much alive.Today marks a sad anniversary around

here as it was on this day in 2010 thatwe lost a very special member of theOptimist family with the passing ofEdgar Clesson Dunning.Edgar was an invaluable resource

through the years given his family startedthis newspaper way back in 1922 whenthe Dunnings, including a 12-year-oldnewspaper man-to-be, relocated fromBarons, Alberta at the invitation of theDelta Board of Trade. Edgar’s impact,however, went well beyond being able toregale us with tales of a settlement thatwas still decades away from being con-nected to the rest of the Lower Mainlandby tunnel.I know a lot more about Delta thanks

to Edgar’s storytelling, but it’s the wayhe approached life that taught me, andothers, so much more. I long admiredthe fact he didn’t sweat the small stuff ordidn’t speak ill of others, that he neverturned down an invitation (or a freemeal!) and that he saw the humour inwhat was going on around him.The crotchety old man stereotype of

someone stuck in their ways and livingin the past was as far from Edgar as youcould get. Oh sure, he was quick to remi-nisce about Delta’s early days and regu-larly shared those recollections throughhis popular Rambling column, but makeno mistake, he was very much a 21stcentury guy.His personality enabled him to

embrace the computer age, which is nosmall feat when you’re in your 90s. Fora while there he would bring his columnover on a floppy disk, and although theadvent of email made that unnecessary inlater years, he would still visit the officealmost weekly for chats I both miss andcherish. Most people don’t get the oppor-tunity to know a centenarian, particularlyone as vibrant as Edgar, so I’m lucky tohave counted him as a friend and a col-league.He didn’t become an iconic figure

in these parts simply because of hisadvanced age; it was the way he livedthose 100 years that made him so special.We marveled at his quick wit, laughedat his self-deprecating humour and werecontinually in awe of how he conductedhimself in the community. Edgar showedus how to grow old, while staying youngat the same time.I keep the flag for his Rambling col-

umn on the template for this page, sotwice a week when I open up the pageI’m greeted by his smiling face. Not onlydoes it give me a chance to say hello toan old friend, but it’s a reminder on howto live life.

Maureen and I are back froma retirement holiday in EasternCanada and the U.S. I would beremiss if I didn’t thank SteveGraham for replacing me in thiscolumn space. But back to earlyOctober as I pen some thoughtsemanating from a trip well organ-ized by my better half.This was a venture of some

complexities, with air transporta-tion to Quebec City, a St. LawrenceRiver cruise, ports of call in P.E.I.,Nova Scotia, Bar Harbour, Maineand then onto Boston, New Yorkand Washington, D.C.Using Amtrak between U.S. cit-

ies was an efficient travel modeonce we got the hang of it. TheEast Coast has a settlement historyback to the 1600s so walking toursin Quebec City were a must, witha return trip to the Citadel and thePlains Of Abraham, including stopsat local museums.

The St. Lawrence River cruisewas outstanding in terms of qual-ity service, surroundings andamenities. A stop in Charlottetownand a tour of its historic institu-tions, churches and homes wereall quite revealing in the effort toproject and display its settlementhistory and influence in Canada’sConfederation.We disembarked in Boston after

our enjoyable seven-day cruise.We toured Boston’s magnificentMuseum of Fine Arts featuringa collection of artist John SingerSargent and toured the PresidentJ.F.K. museum and library, his-torically significant and tastefullydone.We travelled by Amtrak to

New York City and arrived to asea of humanity under MadisonSquare Garden. The bad news waswe couldn’t engage a taxi so wehoofed it, bags and all, through thecrowds to our hotel.New York is a great city to visit

with its theatres, museums andshopping. We got caught up inthe fiasco of Donald Trump andU.S. politics (making our electionlook tame) plus the Pope’s tour ofWashington and New York City.We exited New York the day beforePope Francis’ arrival and travelledto Washington, D.C.

Our time in Washington, D.C.was the highlight of our trip withits plethora of memorials, politicalhistory and the Smithsonian insti-tute. We toured the Arlington sanc-tuary and civil war cemetery thatcontains thousands of white crossesmarking the burial sites of enlistedmen and women, and the restingplace of President John F. Kennedyand family.We also toured Robert E. Lee’s

mansion, which stands on top ofthe hill overlooking the cemetery.It is under extensive renovationthanks to a private philanthropist,providing a glimpse back in time tothe Civil War.We also visited the Lincoln

memorial, awash with people pay-ing respect to the revered president.Our time in Washington was

well spent, including a welcomingvisit with Don North, a classmateand former Delta lad, and his wifeDeanna. Their home teems withDon’s collections from broadcastand journalism travels around theglobe.Our trip was a most rewarding

experience and an ease into retire-ment.And a good night to you, Kenny.A fourth generation Ladnerite,

Doug Husband is a former mayorof Delta.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Some dog park usershave trouble following therules, letter to the editor,

Oct. 2Although the writer

doesn’t actually state whichpark she is referring to, Iam going to assume she istalking about North 40.I walk my dogs almost

daily at North 40 and Iagree there are rare occa-sions when dogs run upto you, rub against you oreven jump up. There aretimes when another dogmight decide it doesn’t likeyours, or vice versa, andsnarl and snap.It is difficult to predict

when this is going to hap-pen but when walking in anoff-leash park such as this,I believe you have to accept

that it will happen occa-sionally, although I wouldlike to see owners attemptto correct bad behaviour atthe time.But the writer’s letter

seems to be concernedabout rules and rule break-ers. I have to disagree withthe writer that dog walkersshould be taken to task forbreaking the rules.The dog walkers that I

see almost daily are amongthe most responsible peopleusing the park. They cleanup after their dogs in thelong grass and fields, whichmany do not. They packwater for their dogs on hotdays and make every effortto move aside and avoidoverwhelming your owndogs with their numbers.They have dogs on leash

that need to be and let oth-ers run free to enjoy thepark, one of the few in theLower Mainland where anyof us can do this.True, the rule says a

maximum of two dogs perperson. Therefore, I amguilty of having three whenI pick up my daughter’s twoand have my 10-year-oldshepherd plodding alongbehind me, as is the elderlylady with her matched setof three older terriers, onesometimes in a carriage.Some rules don’t make

sense and some need to berevisited. Having a limit oftwo dogs in a 40-acre dogwonderland like this makesno sense to me.It’s not numbers that are

important but responsibility.Geof Kraemer

Editor:I would like to congratu-

late Carla Qualtrough onbecoming Delta’s new MP.I would also like to encour-age all Delta citizens tocongratulate her as well.For the many Ladner res-

idents that are imminentlyclose to losing their homedelivery of mail, maybe youcan also gently remind herthat we would like to keepdoor-to-door mail delivery.As I look around Ladner

I do not see any substantialprogress with the installa-tion of the new communitymailboxes. On Sept. 24 inan article in the Campbell

River Mirror, Jon Hamilton,spokesperson for CanadaPost, admitted that not allcommunity mailboxes werein place on the implementa-tion date of the new deliv-ery system. I fear this willhappen in Ladner at a verybusy time of the year formail volume and I foresee anightmare ensuing.In the Oct. 16 edition of

the Optimist, Qualtroughis quoted as saying, “Thisis an important issue forDelta. The Liberal Partywill stop the HarperConservatives’ plan to enddoor-to-door delivery.”In a letter dated July 9 to

then-prime minister StephenHarper, Justin Trudeau said,“A Liberal government willstop the plan to end door-to-door mail delivery…”Residents of Ladner,

there is still a chance thatwe can keep our door-to-door mail delivery. Pleasecontact Qualtrough and tellher we do not want commu-nity mailboxes littering thestreets but instead want tokeep our home delivery.What a great start this

would be for our newlyelected representative andall the residents of Ladnerif this decision is reversed.

Daniel Lessingham

Responsibility is the key

Not too late to keep mail delivery

Editor:Congratulations to Carla

Qualtrough on her electionvictory.Geez, the Liberals won

and the sky did not fall.Life carries on.Stephen Harper had to go

and now that he is gone, Iam very pleased. Now we

can get back to restoring“democracy” (or maybeestablishing it) in Canadaagain.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Pay tribute to our

veterans by casting a ballotnext Monday, CommunityComment, Oct. 14

I wanted to add a fewthoughts to Brad Sherwin’sexcellent column.As a United Church

minister and a member ofthe military, it has beenmy experience, for themost part, that the govern-ment of Canada over thedecades has provided wellfor Second World War andKorean War veterans. Therewas a large mass of themand their service in a timeof world crisis receivedthe support they deservedthrough their lives.The face of the future

veteran will look verydifferent. They are nowyounger — male andfemale, of other nation-alities and religions. Manyveterans are now in their30s or 40s, having servedfor a time in the full-orpart-time military andchoosing not to make that alife career have moved on.They are a smaller

quadrant of the population.Since the early 1990s mas-sive numbers of reservistshave served in Canada ondomestic operations andon overseas deployments.As we look down the roadwith the now no longerNew Veteran’s Charter, wewonder what the future willhold if we find ourselves in

the position of need-ing support throughVeteran’s Affairs forissues related to ourmilitary service.We have watched

our brothers and sis-ters visibly woundedduring their militaryservice fight forbenefits. DiagnosingPTSD is complex andsymptoms can appearyears down the roadfor veterans long pastthe end of their mili-tary service.We all know the

dreaded words thosewho have repeat-edly knocked on doorfor help and have heard:“Sorry, we don’t think thatissue is due to your militaryservice.” Reservists aretoo well versed in the “weneeded you when we need-ed you” but now you areout your injuries and issuesdon’t count the same waythey do for regular forcemembers.I went to war and came

home with some mentaland physical issues that Ididn’t deploy with. Thoughdocumented, I often wonder— 10, 20 years down theroad — if I and my spouseneed support can I trustthe government to respondsympathetically and possi-bly positively.The issue, though, is

larger than veterans andtheir care. It includes those

who are homeless, those inneed of social support, andthose who are unemployedand disabled.Over the years I have

sensed a systematic changein our society — or perhapsit was always thus. TheChristian Scriptures referto it as the “hardness ofthe heart.” The rise in ourprosperity in North Americaseems to have hardenedour hearts to those in needrather than softening themand increasing our compas-sion and generosity.It is the inevitable out-

come of a society wherewe believe everyone makesthe bed they lie on and ifyou can’t work, make it onyour own and fit in, you donot deserve a decent levelof care. In my faith, Jesuscame to soften up those

hard hearts of ours.You may think I am

overstating the case. Yethow many times have Imet with someone whospoke of feeling shamed,dishonoured or treated asif they were trying to ripoff the system? I wonder attimes what has happenedto beginning conversationswith those needing helpwith compassionate listen-ing.We toss around lightly

that “we are our brothers’and sisters’ keeper” and “donot judge someone till youwalk a mile in their shoes.”What does that really meanin a country like ours thatseems stuck on how tobring in displaced persons,raise social assistance ratesto reflect adequate sheltercosts or pay lifelong pen-sions to families whoseloved ones have died inmilitary service?This Remembrance Day

we will, as we should,appropriately honour thosewho died in military ser-vice. Yet to paraphrase awell-known saying, “Thedead have seen the end ofwar — it is the living whostill suffer.”It’s the living veterans

now and into the futurewhose war lives with themthat require the support oftheir country and govern-ment beyond one day ayear.Maj. the Rev. Jim Short

Veterans require support of gov’t& country beyond one day a year

Terry

Terry came to us as a trapped feral that has since turned quite friendly. Terry livedoutdoors and was being fed by his finder who was then able to trap him when Terrybit his own tongue and needed medical assistance. He was going to be returned tothe finder’s home after he got all fixed up but he decided that perhaps he’d rather bea friendly inside cat instead! Terry doesn’t seem to mind other cats in the shelter andcan be seen hanging out with other cats in our communal room. We feel Terry woulddo best in a home with no dog but may do well with older children who understandcat body language. Terry likely will be fine as an indoor cat in his new home as longas there’s a bright window for him to stare out and watch the world go by. Can Terryget comfortable in your home?

Building bridges

M inister’sinute

You may think I’m going to talkabout the new bridge that has beenpromised to replace the MasseyTunnel from Richmond to SouthDelta, but you would be wrong.I can understand the assumption

what with the very recent round ofpolitical promises that have swept“Red” across our country and causedthe markets to bounce all over inanticipation. Undoubtedly there willbe generous political capital spentto build goodwill bridges into com-munities everywhere in a “better”Canada.No, the kind of bridges I wish to

contemplate here are those connec-tions among neighbours, communitymembers, diverse age ranges andpossible daily interactions that arebest built through one-to-one greet-ings, conversations and invitations to

stand on common ground.They are not dependant on tech-

nology; in fact, encouraging andlearning basic, old fashioned skillsmay promise to create somethingbeautiful, joyful and meaningful.Just such a bridge was built, or at

least started, today when an SDSS artclass met face-to-face with seniorsin the community. The whole goalwas to have conversation about eachother’s life experience and intereststhat will result in a series of portraitsbeing created.The simple gift of learning how

to draw, and eventually sharing theresults, celebrated by each student/senior pair will be another occasionto share conversation and encourage-ment.These are the kinds of bridges we

should all seek to build each day.

Exercise solutions: Create a gym at homeKRISTA POPOWYCH

Finding time to workout isoften a challenge. Exercisingat home is an efficient way

to fit in a quick exercisesession any time of day.

Plus countless workouts canbe done in any small space

— with or with-out equipment.

Before gettingstarted, decidewhere in yourhouse is thebest location foryour home gym.If possible, keepyour equipmenthandy and vis-ible. A basketloaded up withresistance bands, dumb-bells, and a yoga mat issignificantly more motivat-ing when seen daily versushidden in a closet.

Next, decide what type ofworkout interests you. Forexample, do you need toimprove strength, burn calo-ries or increase flexibility, orall of the above?

Because some exercise isalways better than noth-ing, choose one goal as astarting part. If not know-ing what to do is anotherroadblock, don’t despair; amyriad of at-home workoutscan be found on-line or inprint.

To get started,break your work-out into threeparts — warmup, conditioningand stretching.An at-homewarm up mayinclude walk-ing on the spot,climbing stairs orgrooving to yourfavourite tunes.The goal of the

warm up is to prepare yourbody for more intense exer-cise. Everybody is different.Determine the amount ofwarm up time that is bestfor you, based on how youfeel.

Conditioning includes bothcardiovascular training andstrength work. If you havea piece of cardio equipmenttucked away in the garageor being used as a clothesrack in your bedroom, dustit off and get started.

Plan for 10 minutes initiallyand build from there. Nocardio equipment? No prob-lem. Any movements suchas jumping jacks, skipping,jogging or marching on the

spot will get your heart rateup.

Strength work is probablythe most conducive to anat-home workout space. Asmall investment in piecessuch as resistance bands,flat tubing, dumbbells, med-icine balls, balance boardsor stability balls is all that isrequired. Even empty milkjugs filled with water canbecome excellent at-homeweights.

Begin slowly. Determine thenumber of reps you thinkyou can do. If you achievethe goal without any prob-lem, keep going. The objec-tive is to feel your musclesworking. Whether you aredoing bicep curls or sit ups,some discomfort in thoseareas means the musclesare firing and fatiguing. Painis always a signal to stop.

Finish your workout with agood stretch. A yoga mat,foam roller, or yoga strapare additional pieces to addto the at-home tool box. Nogear?Grab a towel for a mat, asmall ball for pressure point

release or an old belt asa no cost alternative to astretching rope. Hold eachstretch for 30-60 secondsand repeat the sets if timepermits.

Creating an at-home gymis a fantastic way to moveinto fall with a plan in place.Because you may be work-ing out alone or just gettingstarted, be sure to get thethumbs-up from your physi-cian to exercise.

And if you aren’t quiteready to get off the couch,that’s OK too. There arelots of exercises you can dowhile sitting.

As a colleague recentlysaid to me, there are noobstacles to fitness, justdifferent paths. An at-homegym may be your ideal get-fit solution.

Peanuts not really nutsDid you know? Peanut butter is a nutritiousfood that can be served in sandwiches,as a dip or as an ingredient for flavourfulsauces.

Peanut butter also can be enjoyed by thespoonful right out of the container. Peanutplants are rather interesting. Unlike manyplants, the peanut flowers form aboveground, but the fruit — the peanuts —grow below the soil by the roots. Peanutsdo not grow on trees and really aren’t nutsat all. They’re actually legumes.

The National Peanut Board says thatit takes about 540 peanuts to make a

12-ounce jar of peanut butter. The world’slargest peanut butter factory can produce25,000 jars each day.

That means millions of peanuts must beharvested and transformed to create thosedelicious jars of creamy and crunchy peanutbutter.

Women of all ages need to strength train

Hippocrates oncesaid, “Thatwhich is useddevelops and that

which is not used wastesaway,” which translatedinto 21st century-speak is,“If you don’t move it, youlose it.”Both quotes are relevant

when it comes to the humanbody, or more specifically,to our muscles. If we don’tuse our muscles, we loseour muscles, it’s that sim-ple.And if you are a woman,

this is even more frighten-ing because we don’t startwith a lot of muscle mass.This loss in muscle mass

has a detrimental affecton our ability to burn fat

(because the more musclewe have, the better at burn-ing calories we become) aswell as our general strengthand our bone density.Lifting weights will also

help reduce our risk of heartdisease, diabetes, back painand arthritis, and it will aidin fighting depression andimprove our moods.But what should we

be doing and how muchshould we be lifting?Teens should aim for

two to three times a weekstrength training, workingat 50 to 60 per cent of theirrepetition maximum (takethe amount of weight youcan lift once and multiplethat by 50 to 60 per cent).Begin with easy move-

ment patterns, becausestrength training (andmaybe even exercise itself)could be new to you. Thiswill help to create bodyawareness and in turn betterform.While lifting, target the

core and postural muscles.Women in their 20s

should aim for two to fourtimes a week at 60 to 75per cent of their repetitionmaximum. Begin with acircuit workout to includecardio in the strength train-ing program and target theglutes, pos-tural musclesand core.Once you

hit your 30s,ramp it upto three tofour times aweek at 60 to90 per centof your rep-etition maxi-mum. Trysplit bodyroutines suchas training the upper bodyone day and the lower bodythe following.Areas to target are the

core and upper body mus-cles (especially the pectoralmuscles — think chest

presses and push ups).In your 40s you need to

start taking this lifting thingvery seriously.You see the loss of mus-

cle mass and strength startto occur in our 40s (Kravitz,2007), so a strength train-ing regime is a must for this

age group(which ispreciselywhy I devel-oped anonline fit-ness coursefor the over40 crowd).Lift three

to four timesa week at60 to 90 percent of yourrepetition

maximum. Areas to targetare the glutes, core andupper body muscles.For your 50s and beyond,

it’s recommended tostrength train at least twotimes a week at 50 to 75

per cent of your repetitionmaximum.I find women in this age

bracket tend to see moresuccess when working witha trainer, or attending groupclasses geared towardsstrength training.Areas to target are your

balance, posture, core andupper body muscles, andas you get closer to your70s and 80s include gripstrength as well (to helpyou open all those jars andbags in your kitchen).Once you start your

strength training routine itwill only take the musclesabout two months to adaptto that particular trainingroutine.This is great news for

beginners. You will seeresults quickly.However, once that adap-

tation has occurred (and ifyou continue with that sameexercise program), you willeventually encounter an“exercise plateau.”

You are now maintaininginstead of developing.To avoid any plateaus in

your program, add a vari-ety of exercises and keepincreasing your intensity asyou get fitter.You need to keep the

muscles confused and themind stimulated to continueto see growth and to keepyourself motivated.And one last thing,

ladies, please do not beafraid to pick up the heav-ier dumbbells as you getstronger. They will not turnyou into a muscle-boundfreak. I promise. Instead,they will turn you into astronger, fitter and moreconfident woman — nomatter what your age.PJ Wren is a personal

trainer and writer in theDelta area who loves teach-ing women to lift. You canfind her at www.fitness-withpj.com and catch allher workouts for women onher YouTube channel.

Wellon YourWay

Avoid plateaus by increasing intensity and adding variety

“If we don’t use ourmuscles, we loseour muscles, it’s assimple as that. Andif you are a womanthis is even morefrightening becausewe don’t start with alot of muscle mass.”

The heavy door of thewine vault slams behind us,leaving us in the dark. Wehear the horrible, cacklinglaugh of a killer echoingdown the corridor, trail-ing off in a menacing wail.“You’re all going to die!”Then in a final sinister

threat, the fiend promises tobe back in exactly 45 min-utes to finish the job. Thereis nothing butdarkness andsilence, savefor the bigclock on thewall, count-ing down theseconds to ourdemise.I throw

myself againstthe door andjiggle the latch— locked.“We’re fin-ished,” I moan in despair.“Doomed! I knew there wassomething odd about thatfellow!”“Dad, it’s a game, he is

the owner, get a hold ofyourself,” say my sensi-ble kids. Oh yes, I am inOttawa’s Escape Manor, thecity’s newest entertainmentrage, with my wife and fourteenage children.Escape Manor invites

groups of two to six people

to escape from four differ-ent scenarios: our creepywine vault, a locked prisoncell, a corporate office oran asylum. Once locked upand on your own, you haveto work together to findclues and solve puzzles thatwill lead to freedom.It is a bit CSI and part

Indiana Jones — not sim-ple, but a whole lot of fun.The catch is, success has tobe achieved in 45 minutesor you will meet a tragic

end and, asI am learn-ing, escap-ing a roomhere is noeasy feat.“Tick-

tock!” Wehad decid-ed on thewine vaultbecause, Isuppose, ithas been along-time

dream of my wife to getlocked in a wine cellar. Infact, I can’t help but noticethat she doesn’t seem to behelping much in the earlygoing.I remind her that it isn’t

red wine in the bottles, butthe blood of the murderer’svictims. This spurns herinto action, and finallyprogress is being made. Ican’t tell you the clues weare uncovering, because

that would ruin it for oth-ers. Needless to say, we aremaking headway, with logicand teamwork, and only abit of panic, mostly fromme.We have unravelled some

very perplexing riddles, butalways there is the sound ofthe clock echoing throughthe room.According to Billy

Rogers, one of EscapeManor’s four founders,the new attraction offers aunique experience.

“It’s a mystery withina mystery, and everythingis in play in the room.You’re the main character,involved, instead of watch-ing it from the outside.”“Tick-tock!” As the ten-

sion builds inside the room,I think I would rather bewatching from the outside.The wine vault’s set-up isvery clever. Just when youthink you have somethingfigured out, you’re forcedto try again. I guess that’swhy only 17 per cent of

guests actually manage toescape the rooms on time.The clock ticks down

towards zero, and, and inspite of the progress wehave made, we strugglewith one more puzzle. Ithink we have lost, but then,like every great thriller, wedecipher a final code in thenick of time, allowing usto find a key to unlock thedoor. We are saved!Is it just me or does

Rogers seem disappointedto see us walk down the

hall and into the lobby —free? I guess failure bringspeople back to try again. Iimagine we will return totest the other three rooms(with more to come, prom-ises Rogers).In Prison Break, you are

wrongly accused and lockedbehind bars on death row.Your last day has come, butthe prison guards have goneon break and left the keysto your cell in sight. All youhave to do is get to them.The Darkness is a cor-

porate office, where youmade a deal with a strangebusinessman, Lou Cifer,to further your career.Can you find that con-tract and escape with yoursoul before the Prince ofDarkness returns?The Asylum is a haunted

hospital with a mad scien-tist hiding in the basement.You must escape before theclock ticks to zero, or youcould very well become thenext human piece in a for-maldehyde jar.Escape Manor is spooky,

fun and very challenging,but book early for a visit, asit is difficult to get in, andvery hard to get back out.Travel Writers’ Tales

She spent many happy hours at the beach playing with her dogMaggie, soaring high on her grandparent’s swing and swimming in the bay.Swimming was a passion she enjoyed all her life.

In June 1935, she and her family moved to their new house on 16th Avenue. Aftergraduating from King George High School in Ladner, Pearl worked at the BeachGrove Store during the early war years. Being good with people and numbers sheenjoyed various jobs in retail, finishing asmanager of the 5 and 10 store in Ladner.

Her first date with Earl Bowling was New Years Eve 1949 and so began their happylife together. They were married June 8, 1951 at Ladner United Church. Pearlexcelled as a wife and mother and in 1957 the family moved into their newly builthome on 16th Avenue. Pearl and Earl remained there until their deaths.

Pearl was a past member of St. David’s Anglican Guild, Evergreen Garden Club andThursday morning bowling league. 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.

Pearl was predeceased by the love of her life, husband Earl (2006), parents Newtand Fannie McCulloch (nee Pearce) and sisters Iowa Hagen andMarie Cortner.

Pearl also leaves a large loving circle of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.“Auntie Pearl” was a favourite who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Shewelcomed everybody at her Sunday afternoon teatime gatherings. She was a joyand inspiration andwill bemissed by all who knew her.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Tom Martin of Tsawwassen for many years ofdedicated care. Also deserving mention is the nursing staff of the ortho wards ofVancouver General and Peace Arch Hospitals.

WRIGHT, Audrey Elizabeth (née Craig)

Audrey Elizabeth Wright (née Craig), of Tsawwassen, BC, died in peace onSeptember 11, 2015 at the Fraser Valley Centre of the BC Cancer Agency inSurrey, BC.

Audrey was predeceased by her parents: Erle Montgomery and Myrtle JeanCraig; by two of her six children: A Craig Wright and Michael Wright; by her threesiblings: sister Shirley Mahoney and brothers Dr.Charles E Craig and J DouglasCraig.

She is survived by Richard (Dick), her ever-loving husband of 64 years; by herfour adoring children: Sandra McKerrell (and David); Alison Wright (and MauriceBourassa); Charles Wright (and Christie Stoll) and Malcolm Wright (SarahMcKee); by her eleven so-loved grandchildren: Dougal Wright; Katy Bourassa-Wright (and Graham With); Callum Wright (and Rachel); Casey Troop (and Jay);Niko Bourassa-Wright; Shauna Garside (and Kirby); Phaedra Bourassa-Wright;Alannah Wright (and Brad Rossington); Sophie McKee-Wright; Griffin Wright;and Liam McKee-Wright; by her three truly remarkable, great-grandchildren:Mckinley Garside; Alexander Wright and Haleigh Troop; and by Olive and EDPuss. Audrey is also survived by nine children of her siblings and by relatives inCalifornia and on PEI.

Audrey was born in Vancouver on January 28th, 1931; grew up in Vancouver,living on Cypress Crescent and attending Prince of Wales Elementary and HighSchool, until 1946, and then in Pasadena, California, where she attended andgraduated from Pasadena City College. Back again in Vancouver, she studiedfashion design, assisted brother Charles in establishing his new Orthodonticpractice and, along with her mother, oversaw construction of their new homeat 32nd and Hudson - all the while being courted by Richard, whom she marriedin 1951 and contentedly put up with for the rest of her life.

In 1956, the Wright family of four, at the time, moved away from Vancouver, toEdmonton, where they learned about not living close to the sea and mountains,about winter severities, about Prairie life, oil boom-townitus and Socreds, andwhere they became a family of five.

In 1960, they relocated to Ancaster, Ontario, a suburb of Hamilton, for a twoyear stint, which was sufficient to experience many aspects of life in Ontario,particularly on the Niagara Peninsula, and to increase to a family group of six.

In 1962, they moved on to exurban Hudson, Quebec, thirty-five miles west ofMontreal, and into their century-old ‘Edgemere’ on le lac de Deux Montagnes,where they remained for eight years. In Hudson, Audrey endured a final familyexpansion, but pregnancy did not hinder her active pursuits in numerous artsand crafts, of voracious reading and anecdotal essay writing, of imaginativesewing and creative needlework projects, of gourmet cooking and graciousentertaining, of overseeing constant house renovations, of child rearing andhouseholdmanaging, and, as always, of looking beautiful.

In 1970, the now family of seven moved enthusiastically from idyllic exurbia tothe stimulating, cultural urbanity of Westmount, in the heart of Montréal, whereAudrey continued, ever more confidently, the pursuit of her numerous, creativeendeavors and where, in the Fall of 1970, the group’s urban life experience wascoloured by Montréal’s October Crisis. A great many enduring friendships wereshaped in Hudson andWestmount.

In 1972, Audrey and Dick, along with their five offspring, returned to Vancouver,where many ancient, close friendships were to be rekindled and many newones created and where closer ties with relatives and family members were tobe reestablished. It was Audrey’s gregarious friendliness that eased renewal.It was back in Vancouver, also on Salt Spring Island and later, upon moving toTsawwassen in 1990, that Audrey’s creative, artistic spirit came more and moreto be focused upon that wonderous world of quilting and, following a stimulatingCreativeWriting course at Langara College, upon her writing.

Artistically, Audrey was a highly innovative and creative, a painstakingperfectionist who was gifted with a refined sense of colour. Her writingsexhibited her acute senses of humour, irony and colouring. The legacies she leftfrom her quilting, her writing and other artistic pursuits are joyful to experience.

Socially, Audrey was ever a cherished friend, a caring, generous, graciously-spirited person who managed to inspire her sense of enthusiasm for life inothers.

Later in life, she accepted the challenges and discomforts of aging withcourage, dignity and her ever-present sparkle of humour; towards the end, sheendured more than her fair share of medical distress without loss of aplomb[except for those damned stairs].

Audrey will be remembered by all who knew her as a gracious, generous,compassionate and loyal friend; as an enthusiastic and accomplished creator ofquilt and needle works and of the written word; as an exceptional, most lovingmother, grandmother and great-grandmother; and as a loyal, much-cherishedcompanion and pal, a wife extraordinaire!

Friends and family are invited to attend an informal memorial reception at KinHouse, 5050 - 47A Avenue, Ladner, BC, on October 24th, 1:30 - 4:00PM.

Audrey expressed the wish that, in lieu of flowers, donation to favorite charitiesbe considered.
