Delta firefighters dominate calendarTaking six of 13 spots, local guys will be seen throughout 2015

The 2015 Hall of Flame firefighters calendar wasofficially launched earlier this month and Deltafirefighters are featured in a whopping six months

of the year.The firefighters were chosen from a pool of about

30 candidates at a selection party back in May, saysGuy Biggar, who is Mr. July. Party attendees voted fortheir favourite candidates and the top 13 were chosenfor the calendar. At the end of the night, six Deltafirefighters had made the cut.

The guys range from 24-year-old JasonMcCallum (Mr. November), who has been withthe department for a year, to Peter Popovich (Mr.May), a 57-year-old battalion chief who has beena firefighter for 34 years.

Once chosen for the calendar, the firefight-ers had eight weeks to get ready for the photoshoots.

Biggar, who has been a firefighter for eightyears, says he hired a personal trainer and “went on an absolutelyridiculous diet” that saw him survive on chicken, spinach,broccoli, water and black coffee.

“It was horrendous, but I made it through,” he says.Tim Holloway, who is featured as Mr. June, says he went on

a “modified paleo diet” and cut out all carbohydrates and sugar,even fruit, and alcohol.

The photos were taken at a studio this summer.“I just kind of had fun with it,” says Holloway,

adding the photographer made everyone feelcomfortable.

“I’m not used to that, I’m not a model,” saysBrandon Jai, Mr. December, who is in the cal-endar for the second time.

The annual calendar raises money for the B.C.Professional Firefighters Association Burn Fund.This year the models have been issued an addi-tional donation challenge by raising money for acharity of their choice.

Jason Wood, who is Mr. October, chose to sup-port the Burn Fund.

“I just find it’s something close to home for us,”he says.

Wood is also on his second tour with the Hall ofFlame calendar, having appeared in it five years ago.

“It’s just something that’s a very good cause.”Popovich is raising money for the Delta

Firefighters’ Charitable Foundation, which sup-ports a number of local charities and organizations.Jai and Biggar chose B.C. Children’s Hospital, whileMcCallum is raising funds for Big Brothers of GreaterVancouver and Holloway chose Ovarian CancerCanada. He says he got involved with the organizationafter his sister’s ovarian cancer diagnosis at 17.

“She’s in remission right now,” he says. “She’s prob-ably the toughest person I know.”

He says the main aim is to raise awareness ofovarian cancer.

“This is such a deadly disease,” Holloway says.Half of the money raised by the firefighters

will go to their chosen charity while the other halfwill go to the Vancouver Firefighters’ CharitableSociety, which in turn donates the money to suchcharities as the Burn Fund, the CKNW Orphans’Fund and B.C. Children’s Hospital, as well asprograms that fund school sports equipmentpurchases, snacks for school kids and buildingplaygrounds.

The idea for the calendar was conceived andfirst implemented 27 years ago by Vancouverfirefighters.

Today, the Vancouver FirefightersCharitable Society designs, produces and dis-tributes the calendars with the help of volun-teers and sponsors. The goal for 2015 is togenerate $100,000 for the various charities.

Donations to the firefighters’ individualfundraising campaigns can be made atwww.fundaid.ca.

The calendars are currently on sale and can be pur-chased online at www.vancouverfirefighters.ca or atLondon Drugs and Save-on-Foods.

“One thing that reallymatters to the citizens ofDelta is the protection ofour environment,” she said.“We want our ecosystemsprotected, which includesour precious agriculturalfarmland, fish and wildlifehabitat and our Burns Bog.

“There are also regionalissues that affect us such asimproved transit and betterroads and bridges.”

What began as a way tohelp kindergarteners dealwith the serious illness anddeath of their classmate hasturned into an annual fund-raiser for one local charity.

Ben Lock was just fourwhen he was in HannahHatlen’s kindergarten classat Beach Grove Elementary.

Hatlen was in the throesof her battle with a rarebrain tumour, but managedto attend class on somedays. However, as her dis-ease progressed in the fallof 2006, she became toosick to attend school.

Gillian Lock, Ben’s mom,remembers it was difficultfor her classmates to under-stand their friend was sickand might not get better.

“We had to kind ofprepare them for that,”she said, adding the newsweighed heavily on Ben’smind.

“He kept saying, ‘Thiscan’t happen, we have tohelp her.’”

“I had no idea that couldhappen to someone thatyoung,” said Ben, who isstarting Grade 8 this week.

In an effort tohelp the class dealwith Hatlen’s illness,Gillian, who is ateacher, proposed anart lesson with theyoung students. Itwas September butthe class drew snow-men. Gillian had theartwork reprintedand, with the helpof a team of moms,turned the children’sdrawings intoChristmas cards.

The parents decid-ed to sell the cards toraise money for Hannah’sHeroes, a foundation startedthat fall by Hatlen’s parentsto fund pediatric brain can-cer research.

The little girl’s diseaseprogressed quickly and shedied on Oct. 31.

What started as a wayto help the kids deal withHatlen’s illness and deathhas become a tradition forthe organization.

Every year since then,the same group of studentshas gathered in Septemberto create a drawing for theannual Christmas card. Sofar, the initiative has raisedabout $20,000.

This year, however, withthe kids moving on to highschool, Gillian said theydecided to change things upa bit. She is looking for 12local kindergarten-aged stu-dents to provide this year’sdrawings, with the olderkids taking on more of arole with selling the cardsand helping out the youngartists.

Anyone interested intaking part is asked toemail Gillian Lock at [email protected] bySept. 30.

The petition calling onthe federal governmentto intervene in the PointRoberts radio towers pro-posal has made its way toOttawa.

Two members of theCross Border Coalitionto Stop the Radio Towerspresented the 3,500-plus-signature petition toDelta-Richmond East MPKerry-Lynne Findlay at herLadner constituency officelast Friday.

Findlay said she’s com-mitted to tabling the peti-tion in Parliament pendingits certification by the clerkof petitions.

The petition calls onthe ministers of indus-try and foreign affairsto file an informalobjection with the U.S.Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) oppos-ing renewal of KRPI’sbroadcasting licence andto initiate an inquiry intoIndustry Canada’s lack ofobjection to the FCC’s deci-sion to grant a constructionpermit for the towers.

“This issue has causedserious concern among resi-dents of our community andit is important that thosevoices be heard,” Findlaysaid.

The coalition is fight-ing BBC Broadcasting

Inc.’s proposal to build five45-metre (150-foot) steeltowers at an undevelopedlot on McKenzie Way,about 330 metres from theTsawwassen border. Thetowers are to transmit SouthAsian radio station KRPI,AM 1550.

Residents on both sidesof the border have concernsover blanketing interferenceand the havoc it could causewith household electronicdevices.

Also known as Sher-E-Punjab, the companycurrently broadcasts usingantenna in Ferndale, Wash.,but wants to move themcloser and have a stronger50,000-watt, all-day signal.

“If the proposed towerssite was just north, on theCanadian side, IndustryCanada would neverapprove its applicationbecause of the immedi-ate high population den-sity,” said Nancy Beaton, aTsawwassen resident andmember of the coalition. “Ifthe border did not exist, theFCC would not approve theapplication because of theimmediate high populationdensity.

“This repeated mes-sage is not being heard byIndustry Canada and there-fore, by way of this petition,we are requesting the Houseof Commons to investigatefurther — time is of theessence. We would like to

thank Minister Findlay forher continued efforts andwillingness to deliver thismessage and the petition toOttawa.”

Findlay said once thepetition has been certifiedand tabled in the Houseof Commons, the gov-ernment has 45 days toissue a formal response.Findlay returned to Ottawaon Sunday and said sheplanned on submittingthe petition for vetting onMonday.

With the FCC alreadyissuing a construction per-mit for the proposed towers,one final hurdle remainswith a conditional use per-mit required from WhatcomCounty.

The coalition is plan-ning to attend a WhatcomCounty hearing on theissue. With the hearingjust over a month away, thegroup held a meeting lastweek in Tsawwassen to helpspread the word and rallythe troops.

Shoppersdriving fora bargain

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

There has been much speculationin these parts over the viability of thetwo massive malls under constructionat the Tsawwassen First Nation. A rela-tive backwater when it comes to retailtherapy, South Delta will be pushed tothe forefront of the region two years fromnow when the 1.2-million-square-footTsawwassen Mills and the 550,000-square-foot Tsawwassen Commons arescheduled to open their doors.

I don’t share the skepticism of thosewho feel the two malls are too farremoved from Lower Mainland popula-tion centres to be economically viable inthe long run. With a mom, five sistersand a wife, pretty much all of whom getvisibly excited by the prospect of a cloth-ing bargain, I have visited my share ofshopping malls over the years, and I cantell you with a great deal of certainty thatif a mall offers something truly unique,shoppers will travel great distances.

That’s why I was interested to sit in onthe keynote speech by CrossIron Millsgeneral manager James Moller at lastweek’s Delta Chamber of Commerceworkshop to provide updates on the vari-ous economic development projects inthe works at the TFN. CrossIron Millsis the five-year-old Calgary mall thatTsawwassen Mills is being modeledafter, so the experiences there should bepretty similar to what will unfold herebeginning in 2016.

Not only did what Moller have to saymake a lot of sense to me, but I was liv-ing proof to back up some of the statis-tics he threw around, including the factthat 57 per cent of shoppers come frombeyond 20 kilometres to visit CrossIronMills.

Given I’ve driven in excess of 20 kilo-metres to reach many a mall, and figuredthere are plenty of other people out theredoing the same, I could identify withthat statistic, one that blows a hole in thetheory proffered by naysayers who thinkthe location of the TFN malls will betheir undoing.

Moller told the crowd that CrossIronshoppers spend an average of two hoursper visit, which makes sense giventhey’ve driven quite a distance to getthere. It also reinforces the notion thatthe “hybrid” shopping centre (a mix ofoutlet and regular priced goods under oneroof) is indeed a destination.

If Tsawwassen Mills was going to beyour typical suburban shopping mall, I’dagree with those who say it’s doomed forfailure, but it will be unique enough todraw shoppers from all over the LowerMainland and beyond.

You’re welcome to check my odometerif you don’t believe me.

Earlier today while sitting in oneof those interminable lineups to getthrough the George Massey Tunnel,I heard on the news that DavidSuzuki had called for the right forclean air and water be added to theCanadian Charter of Rights. Suzukiis apparently on his last hurrah tourespousing his environmental views.

It made me think back, while Isat there spewing carbon monox-ide into the environment, about afront-page article in last Saturday’sNational Post entitled “A Fightat the Museum.” The museumin question was the CanadianMuseum for Human Rights, whichopened this past week in Winnipeg.It is the first national museum out-side of Ottawa.

The Canadian Museum forHuman Rights was the brainchildof Izzy Asper, a Winnipeg-basedmedia tycoon who passed away

in 2003. His was the original ideaand the initial seed money. Priorto starting the television networkthat became Global TV, Asper wasthe leader of the provincial LiberalParty in Manitoba. He unfortu-nately did not enjoy near as muchpolitical success as he did commer-cial success.

But even without the politicalsuccess, his money and connec-tions allowed him to make progresson what would seem a question-able endeavour. A location waspicked at the Forks in the heartof Winnipeg at the confluenceof the Red and Assiniboine riv-ers. It is across the road from CanWest Park, the ballpark that wasfinanced by Asper’s company, CanWest Communications.

After Asper’s death, his daughtercontinued to stickhandle the projectto completion. To the extent thatthe museum focuses on seriousviolations of human rights, it iswrapped in controversy. Variousgroups feel their suffering is under-played. Not all the exhibits are inyet and we hope they focus moreon past successes and less on his-torical grievances, for I fear thathistorical grievances can be end-less.

So what are human rights? Well,

the United Nations’ UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights runsto 30 articles. Nothing surprisingin the articles if you haven’t readthem — other than the degree towhich they are ignored in much ofthe world.

Article 25 says, “Everyone hasthe right to a standard of livingadequate for the health and wellbeing of himself and of his fam-ily...” Suzuki’s desired addendumscould probably fit handily in thisarticle. The Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms is less inclu-sive and has democratic rights,mobility rights, legal rights, equal-ity rights and language rights.

The UN Declaration reads likeit was written by social workerswhereas the Canadian Charterreads like it was written by law-yers, but at least we pay attentionto the latter.

I wish Suzuki well in his ven-ture. I am, after all, tired of sittingin a traffic jam inhaling all thosetoxic fumes. Let’s have a right toclean air. Surely we have a right toa new bridge over the Fraser. Toobad we have to wait until 2022 toget it.

I won’t, however, bring it upwhen I visit the Museum forHuman Rights in the future.

Plenty of options to expandCanadian Charter of Rights

Letters to the Editor

Editor:I’m sure I’m not alone

in noticing the increasingnumber of seniors who areunable to navigate their wayacross 56th Street intersec-tions (especially at 12thAvenue) before the lightschange. While drivers dopatiently wait until pedestri-ans reach the sidewalk, thesituation is a risky one.

Some years ago NewYork City instituted a SafeStreets for Seniors initia-tive that brought in manychanges, including modi-fied signal timing.

The need for such adap-tations here was vividlybrought home to me a fewdays ago when a senior

lady stopped me after I’dcrossed 56th Street at theTown Centre Mall intersec-tion and expressed concernabout whether she andher walker could make itback across that same roadbefore the lights changed.

When she politelyrefused my initial offer toescort her I told her she hadspurred me to relay thoseconcerns to the Optimistsince I’d noticed many ofher contemporaries strug-gling to safely cross inter-sections in the allotted time.

As we talked I learnedthe charming lady wasthe widow of our highlyrespected former MLA FredGingell. “I’ve lived here

for 40 year and used to beable to sprint across streets,but now...” Given ouraging demographic, Mrs.Gingell’s plight is clearlynot an uncommon one.

We started across themall intersection togetherthe instant pedestrian signappeared, but were still afew feet short of the curbbefore the light changed,even though Mrs. Gingell’sspeed was well above thatof many seniors observedcrossing major streets.

The community wouldsurely adapt with grace toslightly longer wait timesat busy corners for sake ofresidents’ safety.

Editor:Re: Wong seeks council

seat, Sept. 3I recall reading an article

regarding a young man run-ning for council. NicholasWong stated he is runningfor council for not just fouryears but for 40 years. Thiscomment had me wonder-ing about some of our cur-rent council members.

A number of our coun-cil members ran in lastyear’s provincial election,with one being successful.

Unfortunately, followingthis election, this left thecitizens of Delta short-changed without properrepresentation from thisseat.

So I have a question toall sitting and potentialcouncil members: Are yourunning in this November’smunicipal election with 100per cent intent of represent-ing the people of Delta forthe entire four years, orwill you try to move on togreener pastures at the first

opportunity?Yes or no? Not maybe,

or I’m not sure, or I don’tknow. Will you commit tocomplete the entire four-year term? The people ofDelta deserve an answer.Deltans deserve councillorswho want to be here.

If your heart is not inDelta as a councillor, thendo not run. The peopleof Delta deserve better.We patiently await yourresponse.

Editor:Several members of the

McKee Seniors’ RecreationCentre in Ladner haveasked me to write a letterfor them expressing theirappreciation of the remark-

able plant containers out-side the centre and in otherlocations in Ladner.

The concrete plant con-tainers are filled with lushflowers, colourful leafgrowers and ornamental

grasses that one can’t helpbut notice and marvel over.

If I was a colour, I wouldbe purple. If I was a coun-try, I would be France. Andif I was a planet, I would beNeptune.

No idea why I wouldn’tbe Navy blue, New Zealandand Mars, but who am I toquestion these things? Theymust be correct, becauseFacebook told me so.

You know what I mean.On any given day, someonewill post some bizarre quizinviting you to find outwhat cookie, flower or caryou are. You are then askedseveral multiple-choicequestions, and bam, you getyour answer.

It’s weird. The other dayI took the what’s-your-hip-pie-name quiz, and wasasked, among other things,to examine six pictures ofpizza with assorted top-pings, and to pick myfavourite. No idea why theone that had ham and pine-apple — my all-time fave— would help determinemy hippie name, but it did,all right. (For the record, it’sSky.)

All over the world,it seems to me, peopleare scrambling to inventnew quizzes. At this verymoment, I reckon, someoneis putting together a quiz

to determine what kind ofpickle I am. In order to findout whether I am a gherkin,mustard or dill, I will beasked 10 or 12 questionsthat have no apparent con-nection with condiments.(You know the type ofthing: “When you are ona holiday,would youwould pre-fer to readby a pool,visit histor-ic museumsor shop tilyou drop?”)

As I say,it’s odd.

But Ican’t stopmyselffrom takingthem.

In thepast coupleof weeks, Ihave takentests to findout what TV sitcom char-acter I am, what Popsicleflavour I am and what mytrue age is. (I’m 31. Lovedthat one.)

I also took the quiz thatdetermined what fresh veg-etable I am, and learned Iam a bean. (So far, I haven’tbeen asked what frozenvegetable I am, but I’m surethat one is in the works.)

To some degree, this is abit of a problem.

Just last week, forinstance, I decided to go onFacebook before the hus-band and I went on a bike

ride.“Well?” asked the hus-

band, handing me my hel-met. “You ready or what?”

“Give me 10 minutes,”I said. “I’m just trying tofind out what breed of dogI am.” (A dachshund, turnsout. Wasn’t crazy about that

one. Wouldhave preferreda goldenretriever.)

I am, I mustsay, lookingforward tofinding outwhat actress Iwas in a pastlife and whatmy true birth-date is. I’d liketo know whatsong I amand what myfavourite vaca-tion spot is.(If I’m told it’sNorth Dakota,however, I will

really be choked, since I’mreally hoping for Maui.)

Coming up, I’m sure,will be quizzes inviting meto determine all mannerof things, including thosethat will decide what tool/beverage/brand of laundrydetergent I am. (OK, so thelast one may be a bit of astretch, but hey, you neverknow.)

Hope this won’t be aproblem, since the husbandis not on side.

A crying shame, I haveto say. I’d like to know hisage.

Never know what you’lllearn in online quizzesSeemingly random questions somehow determineeverything from hippie name to sitcom character

Battling the bulgeKRISTA POPOWYCH

Let’s face it. Many of usstruggle with a mid-sectionthat is either rounder orsofter than we would like.Even the word belly maysuggest a less than desir-able image.

If you are among the thou-sands of Canadians whobattles with their so-calledmuffin top, you are notalone. Even thin peoplehave some abdominal fat.Unfortunately, too muchbelly fat is a real healthconcern; but with somesimple changes, you can winthe battle the bulge.

There are two types of fat.Subcutaneous fat is fatfound right under the skin.A common joke is that weall have six-pack abs but wejust can’t see them. True.Too much subcutaneousfat may hide our abdomi-nal muscles. The othertype of fat is visceral andis a deeper fat. Althoughvisceral fat is importantfor cushioning our organsand other functions, largeamounts can trigger chronic

inflammation and put you atrisk for high blood pressure,type 2 diabetes and otherillnesses.

Unfortunately visceral fatalso thrives on inactivity.Meaning that even if youwatch what you eat butdon’t exercise, you are likelyto have more visceral fatcompared to those who doboth. Thankfully, mid-sec-tion fat is easier to get ridof than fat found on otherparts of the body. With acommitment to exercisingand eating healthy, you cansignificantly reduce belly fat.

Abdominal crunchesand core exercises will

strengthen your mid-sec-tion. However, committingto hundreds of sit-ups a daywill not flatten your stom-ach. You cannot reduce fatin one specific area. To getrid of fat found all over yourbody, you must burn calo-ries. Cardiovascular exer-cise is a good place to start.Moderate exercise (walkingor biking) for approximately20 to 30 minutes per daywill make a difference. Butto get better belly bustingresults faster, try intervaltraining.Interval training alternatesbetween high and low inten-sity cardio. An example ofa high intensity interval isexercising outside of yourcomfort zone. Meaning ifyou can go at an intensityabove what you normallywould, go for it. If walking isyour exercise of choice, setan interval target of eithertime or distance. Afterwarming up, walk briskly for15-d30 seconds then recov-er, catch your breath andrepeat the sets throughoutyour walk. Or choose startand end targets: for exam-ple, up the intensity fromCONTINUED ON PAGE 13

the lamppost to the busstop. These types of inter-vals are less structured, butdo the job.

Although cardio exercise isa good start, having moremuscle on your body boostsmetabolism and slows theproduction of belly fat as weage. Kick up your metabo-lism through strength train-ing two to three times perweek.

More muscle on your bodymeans you burn more calo-ries both while exercisingas well as during day-to-dayactivities. Start with eightto 10 strength exercises forthe major muscle groups,either done at home or at agym. Any exercise will makea big difference.

Unhealthy foods feed bellyfat. Keep total caloricintake within a healthyrange and avoid foods thatare processed, high insaturated fats and full ofsugar. Continuous dieting

is a challenging way to live.Instead, make healthierchoices every day. Researchhas found that foods highin monounsaturated fattyacids such avocados, oliveoil and nuts may stop bellyfat from developing. That’sgreat — but keep in mindthat a calorie is a calorie.Even excessive healthycalories add up. Last, butnot least, too little sleepand high amounts of stressmakes you crave unhealthyfoods and will decrease yourdesire to exercise. Keepboth in check.

Vanity aside, there is impor-tant health reasons to keepbelly fat at bay. The key isto exercise, eat healthy, getenough sleep and managestress. With a few changes,you can bust belly fat andfeel better all around. Nopun intended.

Beneficial bacteriaAdding probiotics to yourdiet can have a positiveeffect on many aspects ofyour health and well being.

Probiotics reside naturallyin our bodies and are madeup of dozens of strains oflive, beneficial bacterianeeded for a healthy diges-tive system. They occur notonly in the colon and largeand small intestine, but alsoin the stomach and even inthe mucosal lining of themouth. The term probioticmeans supporting life.

When we are exposed totoxins — and we all areevery day — they add harm-ful bacteria to our bodies,causing damage and dis-ease by counteracting ourbeneficial bacteria. Keepinga balanced flora in the gut,made up of both good andbad bacteria, is the body’sgoal.

Harmful bacteria, is oftentreated with antibiotics,which have the unfortunateeffect of killing off not onlythe unwanted harmful bac-teria, but also the good bac-teria at the same time.

Probiotics are available inyogurt and other culturedforms, as well as supple-ments. For those looking atsupplements, it is importantto look for at least a 50

billion count of high qual-ity probiotics supplementwith eight or more differentstrains of active bacteriawhile you are on antibiot-ics. The more strains ofbacteria your body receives,the healthier your florabecomes. It is also impor-tant to be sure that theprobiotics you are takingare in an enteric-coatedcapsule, which allows thelive cultures to arrive in theintestinal tract unscathed byyour stomach acid.

Even if you aren’t on anti-biotics, keeping your gutflora healthy helps preventnumerous inflammatorydiseases from ever becom-ing an issue in your life.Other benefits of a healthygut include: increasedenergy; healthy metabo-lism; boosted immunity;better sleep; better moods;joint and muscle function;improved gastrointestinalfunctions; improved respira-tory and allergy responses.

These beneficial bacteriaalso help the body to pro-duce vitamins, digest foodsand inhibit the growth ofpathogenic organisms likeCandida albacans. Theyhave also been shown toprevent E-coli and salmo-nella.

Stress, travel, dietary

changes and even thenatural aging processcan all cause the amountof good bacteria in yourintestinal tract to decline.A wonderful way for youto help your body to bettercolonize the probiotics youingest is to eat and drinkmore fermented foods, likeKombucha, apple cider vin-egar and sauerkraut.

These are all consideredpre-biotics and they are likethe soil in which the probi-otics will grow, multiply andbecome stronger.

Before Grooming

Grooming Tips From Aussie Pet Mobile byDr. Uri Burstyn

After Grooming

How to Prevent Hot SpotsDRYYOUR DOG REALLYWELLDry your dog really well if they have been swimming (especiallyif it is in a standing body of water like Trout Lake). We don’toften see hot spots from dogs who’ve been in the rain, perhapsbecause the oil in their coat keeps the water away from theskin, or maybe because it tends to rain during the cool season.On the other hand, many of the dogs I see with hot spots havebeen swimming in the past week. Comb your dog with a large-tooth comb (not fine-toothed) to get excess water out of theundercoat and let in air to dry the skin.

FRESHWATERWASH AFTER A SWIMIt’s REALLY important to wash your dog with fresh water aftera swim in the ocean. The salt trapped against the skin canbe irritating, and readily sets up a dermatitis or superficialpyoderma (hot spots), which can then rapidly progress.

KNOWYOUR PETS BREED HISTORYBeing aware of your best friend’s breed history really helps too.Many dogs that are adapted to survival in a cold climate, such as

Malamutes, Newfoundlands, Huskies, Akitas to name just a few,may need a little extra care. When I lived in Sydney, Australia, Ihad neighbors with a pair of beautiful Newfoundland dogs whowould get them completely shaved every summer. They lookedadorable, and were so much happier without the heavy coat inthe hot months! If you don’t like your dog naked, talk to yourgroomer and they can probably do a light trim that will keepmost of the coat, but allow air in to dry the skin.

Now you know how to identify hot spots, and how to preventhot spots from happening! In the next article, I am going to talkabout how to treat them when they do.

Feedback

Public school students headed back to class this week after anextended summer holiday. B.C. teachers, who had been without acontract since June 2013, agreed last week with the government on

a six-year deal, ending a dispute that had seen job action escalate tothe point that schools had been shut down since mid-June.The Optimist asked:

What did you think of the teachers’ dispute?

Tim McFeeThey had some validpoints. But, three weeks,I don’t know how they’reactually going to make upthe time.

Last week we asked you:

Are you enjoying the summer weather?68 per cent said yes, definitely.32 per cent said no, I’m ready

for fall weather.

Jacee SchaeferI hope it’s over with forfive years. I actually was infavour of the government’sposition.

Hans ChristieI thought it took a lot oftime off. I would ratherhave gone back earlierbecause I got bored ofsummer in the end. Notmuch to do. We’re missinga lot of school, we mightget our breaks taken off.

Will RobinsonI didn’t really like it. Irespect it though. I respectthe teachers and what theywere trying to do. But also,it went on a little long.Both sides had their faults.

Charlie RudAt first I was very sup-portive of the teachersand then slowly I kindof got upset with thehigh demands they had.Eventually I went to moresupporting the govern-ment.

Bright future for Ladner rowing brothersAt just 21 Maxwell Lattimer is already on national senior men’s team and 17-yr-old Aaron is not too far behind

A couple of Ladner boys racingin the same boat on the watersof Tokyo at the 2020 SummerOlympic Games. That’s exactlywhere Maxwell and AaronLattimer are on course to be.

The brothers are two ofCanada’s up-and-coming rowerswho had a busy summer repre-senting their country.

At 21, Maxwell is already amember of the senior nationalteam and made his debut atthe World Championships inAmsterdam last month.

He has put his university stud-ies on hold and last week left forLondon, ON where he will trainfull-time as a carded athlete.

It’s the start of a journey lead-ing up to next year’s Worldswhich serve as a qualifier for the2016 Summer Olympic Games.The young Canadian crew iscurrently ranked 13th which isalready good enough to get themto Rio de Janeiro. Hard work overthe the next 11 months shouldonly improve their position.

Not far behind him is Aaron.The 18-year-old second-yearstudent at UBC is fresh offcompeting for Canada at theInternational University SportsFederation (FISU) regatta inFrance two weekends ago. He isnow preparing for the upcomingCIS and national championshipsand is in an excellent position toto be participating in next year’sU23 Worlds.

Six years from now, theLattimers would be in the primeof their rowing careers. They havealready raced together, winninggold for B.C. in lightweight foursat last year’s Canada SummerGames in Quebec.

“I’ve always been known asMaxwell’s little brother,” laughedAaron. “It’s going to be a changenot having him here this fall butI know he is out there chasing hisdream and I hope to get the sameopportunity as well. It’s greatmotivation for me to see what hehas done.

“After Rio when he is back

home, we probably will be row-ing together. For both us to bethere (at the 2020 Games) wouldbe amazing.”

The Lattimers got introducedto rowing as two of five broth-ers coming through VancouverCollege. The sport has a rich his-tory at the city catholic schooland annually is a major force atthe Canadian Secondary RowingChampionships.

It was during Maxwell’s Grade11 year he was targeted to be amember of Team B.C. He wasinvited to training camps thatwere overseen by 2008 Olympicgold medalist Ben Rutledge.

“He was a very committedcoach who will go out of hisway when he sees an athlete’spotential,” explained Maxwell.“That time with Team B.C. wasreally influential in my career. Itwas my first taste of high per-formance rowing with a greatcoach.”

Always intrigued with the

idea of leaving home forschool, Maxwell enrolled at theUniversity of Western Ontariowhich also has an excellent row-ing program. However, it wasn’tlong before he wished he wasback on B.C. waters. He spentjust the one year at the London,school before transferring toUBC. Under coach Mike Pierce,the Thunderbirds have a worldclass training facility — the JohnMS Lecky UBC Boathouse onthe Fraser River in Richmond.

“I missed being in Vancouverbut going away still was great,”continued Maxwell. “It broughtup my maturity level and it taughtme to row on my own. From thatstandpoint, it really tested me if Iwanted to keep doing this.”

Soon after returning home, hewas successful at trials for thenational U23 team. It resultedin a hectic summer of 2013.Maxwell went right from the U23Worlds in Austria to joining TeamB.C. for the Canada Games. It

was then off to training camp forhis first season with the UBCrowing team. “I actually got hurtjust from that volume of rowing,”he said. “It was crazy.”

He and the rest of his light-weight four crew will be workingback east over the next severalmonths with longtime Canadiancoach Al Morrow. They will betraining alongside the women’seight that won silver at worlds.The national team commitmentmeans his studies towards adegree in biology will be on holdfor now.

“This summer was the turningpoint for me,” Maxwell added.“I wasn’t sure what was going tohappen. If I was still on the U23team I would be going back toschool. But making the seniorteam and, what that level hasin store, is just too good of anopportunity to pass up. I’m goingto be putting my head down andgoing for Rio. It’s a chance youjust can’t let slide by in your life.”

Like his brother, Aaron isahead of schedule in his devel-opment. Rowing for B.C. at the2013 Canada Games as a 17-year-old last summer was an impres-sive feat in itself, never mindreaching the podium too. TheGames were a U21 competition.

He is focused in on schoolright now as he works towardsa commerce degree in UBC’sSauder School of Business.

The trip to France gave hima taste of what is to come. TheCanadian crew, that also featuredUBC teammate Angus Todd and acouple of Ontario rowers, was puttogether for the competition.

“You definitely learned fromthe other countries that have beenthere before,” said Aaron. “Allyou can do is focus on being thebest you can be. We didn’t havea great start but made the ‘B’final and won it. We were happywith the performance and it was agreat experience for the next stepin our careers.”
