The public will have arare opportunity to enterone of the private halls ofthe Freemasons next week.
Tsawwassen Lodge No.195, in association withMelrose Lodge No. 67,will have a free informa-tion session at its Deltahall to let people knowmore about the fraternalorganization known asFreemasonry. It’s aimedat letting people knowwhat they’re all about aswell as dispelling some ofthe myths and conspiracytheories.
The Freemasons are theoldest and most widelyknown fraternal organiza-tion in the world, report-edly with origins fromthe stonemasons’ guildsduring the Middle Ages.The language and symbolsused in the fraternity’srituals come from that era.
Freemasonry has sincedeveloped into a world-wide fraternity emphasiz-ing personal study, self-improvement and socialbetterment via individual
involvement and philan-thropy.
“There’s actually quitea bit of interesting historyand there’s all kinds ofartifacts and times of his-tory, poems and things likethis, to try to understandwhere this all came from,”said Delta resident GregNicholls, past worship-ful master of TsawwassenLodge No. 185 A.F. &A.M. (Ancient Free and
Accepted Masons). “And,of course, there’s all kindsof that conspiracy stuffthat goes along with it.
“There’s really no wrongquestions to ask andwe’ve got nothing to hide,”Nicholls said.
As far as Freemasonrybeing often referred to as asecret society, the organi-zation notes any socialgroup or private businessis “secret” in that its busi-
ness meetings might beopen only to its members.In Freemasonry, the pro-cess of joining is also a pri-vate matter. Its membersare pledged not to discusswith non-members certainparts of the ceremoniesassociated with the organi-zation.
“What we tend not to doand why this conspiracybelief seems to carry onis that we’re not out there
to get into argument ordebate with anyone. It’snot worth having that typeof debate and it’s sort of anunspoken rule to not getinto an argument nobodyis going to win,” Nichollsnoted.
Freemasons are aworldwide organizationand have contributedto the fabric of Delta forlonger than the municipal-ity has even been incorpo-rated, Nicholls said.
“We also have somereally cool artifacts andrepresentative of the peo-ple who were in that roomwere leaders and creatorsof our community.”
The presentation, Originof Freemasonry: Myths,Theories, and History, byW. Bro. Jonathan Silveira,takes place Wednesday,Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at 4873Delta St., Ladner.
The Freemasons will bein their full attire and thedress code for everyoneelse, including prospects,is regular business attire.

CONTINUED from Page 1“I can be friendly, I can
be thoughtful, I can betough when need be,” shesaid.
Qualtrough, who willhelp her governmentcome up with a disabilitiesact aimed at preventingdiscrimination, said “firstand foremost I’m the MPfor Delta.”
She has had a busyfirst few weeks, includingin-depth conversationswith the likes of Mayor
Lois Jackson, Delta’s twoMLAs, farmers and others,and she’ll soon be meet-ing with Tsawwassen FirstNation leadership.
She added it will be“extremely beneficial” forDelta to have a cabinetminister who will continueto keep the profile raisedfor the community, havingalready had discussionswith her fellow cabinetministers regarding theimportance of Delta to thenational economy.
In his introduction ofQualtrough, John Furlong,Own the Podium boardchairman and formerCEO of the VancouverOlympics, said she bringsexperience and credibilityto the ministerial positionand will be a champion forsport in Canada.
Qualtrough promisedsport advocates to makethe complex system easierto navigate and to try toupgrade and revitalize rec-reation infrastructure.
When later asked aboutthe possibility of a multi-purpose sport facilityin Delta, she answered“maybe” and that there isa need for more such facil-ities across the country.She said Delta has somephenomenal facilities butlacks support infrastruc-ture, including accommo-dations, to hold sportingevents, so they need tofind creative solutions.
Noting it’s clearQualtrough brings passion
to the job and for Delta,Port Metro Vancouverpresident and CEO RobinSilvester, in a wrap-upspeech, said he was look-ing forward to workingwith the MP.
During the question-and-answer portion,Qualtrough said Delta ispivotal to Canada’s tradeand “if Delta shuts downthere is no gateway.” Sheadded that in some ways,“Delta is doing more thanits share.”

Just when it started tick-ing again, the clock hasstopped once more for
Port Metro Vancouver.Last month, the
Canadian EnvironmentalAssessment Agencyrequested additionalinformation from the port
authority regarding itsTerminal 2 proposal atRoberts Bank. The addi-tional information on fish,species at risk and marineanimals, as well as how
invasive plant species willbe effectively managed, isrequired before the appli-cation can proceed anyfurther at the federal level.
It means the “regula-tory clock” has stoppeduntil the port submitsthe information and theagency believes a panelwould have all the neces-sary information for acomprehensive reviewof the three-berth con-tainer terminal proposal.The federal environmentminister won’t appointa review panel until theCanadian EnvironmentalAssessment Agency is sat-isfied.
There’s no timeline onwhen the additional infor-mation must or will besubmitted.
The project is sub-ject to an independentreview panel, under theCanadian EnvironmentalAssessment Act, butwill also undergo anassessment under theB.C. EnvironmentalAssessment Act. It alsorequires other permits andauthorizations.
The port had estimatedconstruction of the project
would commence some-time in 2018 and wouldtake approximately fiveyears to complete.
Last spring, it submitteda comprehensive envi-ronmental document forT2, which was to trigger alengthy review process.
The environmentalimpact statement sum-marizes the results ofdozens of studies and theport notes its researchinvolved the assessment ofpotential environmental,economic, social, heritageand health effects of theproject, including cumula-tive effects.
Last summer, the agen-cy asked the port authorityfor additional informa-tion before the reviewcould proceed, effectivelystopping the clock until
it deemed the documentcomplete. That informa-tion was submitted in lateOctober, but the port hasnow seen the clock stop asecond time.
As far as some ofthe local input alreadyreceived, the DeltaFarmers’ Institute lastsummer commented thatif T2 was to proceed, agri-cultural lands would beunder further pressure andas much as 600 hectareswould be earmarked forport-related development.The DFI has asked for theenvironmental assessmentto include impacts to agri-cultural lands.
Politicians, citizengroups and environmentalorganizations have alsoconveyed concerns oropposition.

Long-time Ladner resi-dent Shannon Lansdownebeat out five other com-petitors earlier this monthto be named winner of the2016 Extreme HuntressCompetition.
Lansdowne, whogrew up in Ladner butmoved to Nanoose Bayon Vancouver Island in2013, was back in Texas forthe awards gala. She wason stage in front of 1,300people with her five fel-low competitors, many ofwhom have become goodfriends, when her namewas called.
“I was shocked,” shesaid, adding she managedto pull a speech togetherand say a few words to thecrowd.
“It feels great. It’s fantas-tic,” she said. “It’s an hon-our to receive a trophy likethat and being recognizedby my fellow hunters.”
Lansdowne had to makeit through several stages
of the contest to reach thestage in Dallas.
This is the sixth year forthe international competi-tion that aims to createpositive role models forwomen who want to par-ticipate in hunting.
To enter the contest,each woman had to sub-mit an essay describingwhy she is an extremehuntress. A panel of judgesconsidered all the sub-missions and chose 20to move on to the semi-finals.

You’ve got to think it’s onlya matter of time before theschool closure discussionstaking place in Vancouverand Richmondmake their
way out here.The Vancouver school board is
scheduled to debate a staff report nextweek that considers closing more thana dozen schools, while trustees inRichmond held series of open houseslast fall as they too mull possible schoolclosures.
Roughly three-quarters ofRichmond’s schools are under-utilized,according to Ministry of Educationguidelines, which isn’t terribly surpris-ing in a district that graduated 2,200high school students last June but onlywelcomed about 1,400 kindergartenstudents in September. Vancouver’s110 public schools have a capacity foranother 9,000 students and 40 of itsschools are less than 75 per cent full.
There are all kinds of factors for thissituation, but the high cost of housing,so rich it’s out of reach for a great manyfamilies with school-aged children, isthe primary culprit. Both cities havegrown significantly in recent times, butthe cost of housing has changed thedemographics, leaving empty desks inits wake.
Delta schools saw a steady enroll-ment decline since a high water markin the early 1980s, a trend that has lev-eled off as of late, but I’ve got to wonderwhether we’re going to see that down-ward spiral begin again thanks to a redhot real estate market.
With the price of a typicalTsawwassen home now exceeding $1million, and Ladner not too far behind,housing in this once family-friendlyslice of suburbia is simply too steep.The impacts won’t be felt immediatelyas those that got in before the jump willcontinue to populate schools, but ashomeowners cash out, their replace-ments will be less likely to arrive withkids in tow.
This situation will be exacerbated byour lack of affordable options to costlysingle-family homes, although our onesaving grace might be the trickle downeffect. Those moving from pricier envi-rons view South Delta as affordable,relatively speaking, so they could bringkids here when they relocate.
The next generation of young fami-lies, however, won’t find prices to theirliking and will most likely put downroots somewhere else.

If you own property in B.C.you have received somewelcome news in the mail.The value of your propertyhas increased dramatically.
If you are renting, it may be a pre-lude to higher rents. Either way,are taxes or rent going to go up?Good question and not a lot ofclear explanation to date.
First, the municipal tax baseis made up of three communi-ties — North Delta, Ladner andTsawwassen. Second, the Deltabudget will likely go up abouttwo to four per cent along withadditional increased fixed chargesfor garbage, water, recycling andtransit.
Delta council members tell usthose last charges are “not con-trollable” by them. Nonetheless,they have been increasing wellabove the inflation rate for sometime.
The overall assessmentincrease for all of Delta is about13 per cent. That means if yourproperty value increased 13per cent, you might expect anincrease in property taxes of twoto four per cent. If your assess-ment increased more, then youwill pay more.
South Delta will bear a largerportion of the Delta tax loadbecause our assessments have
jumped more than in NorthDelta, where the increase wasonly 12 per cent. Looking at SouthDelta, assessments increased 17per cent, so if Delta’s budget goesup about three per cent, our taxeswill have a higher increase.
Looking even closer, theReal Estate Board of GreaterVancouver reports a year overyear increase of 30 per centin Ladner and 32 per cent inTsawwassen. Those prices give asense of what to expect next year—more increases are coming.
If you are living in your primaryresidence, and if a senior, thereare reductions in your taxes tofactor in. Though these deduc-tions lower the amount you pay,the percentage increase will behigher as those concessions are a
fixed amount — they don’t rise asyour property value rises.
Is it good if your property valuegoes up say 20 per cent? If yourproperty is valued at say $700,000and it increases 20 per cent,you have made— on paper —$140,000. If it’s your primary resi-dence, that increase is tax free.
Just howmuch did you makelast year from all that sweat, effortand anxiety? Look around andyou’ll find most property own-ers made much more on theirproperty than on all the effort atemployment.
Will this last? Canadian houseprices rose on average 12 per centlast year. Regionally, the pressurefor homes in Metro Vancouver issevere. We are also the recipientsof offshore money looking fora safe place to invest, and thatmoney does not get scared by ourhouse prices.
Locally, in South Delta, thecombination of the TFN supermalls and the past discountedvalue on local houses suggest weare in for some years of substan-tially increased prices.
If you own, then great. If yourent, perhaps consider the alter-natives.Ian Robertson is long-time

Editor:I am writing to make
some comments and sug-gestions about Port MetroVancouver’s controversialproposal for a second con-tainer terminal at RobertsBank in the heart of theFraser River Estuary.
Hopefully you haveall become aware of theweak business case andof the environmental riskto the estuary and theFraser River this projectposes. Other negative fac-tors include increased air,noise and light pollution,industrial developmentpressures on hundreds ofacres of farmland, and anegative impact on oursalmon fishery, shellfishfishery, southern residentkiller whale population,globally significant birdhabitat and other wildlifespecies.
Obviously there arelots of risks on a projectof this magnitude at thislocation. One might askwhy Port Metro Vancouveris fast tracking its efforts
to proceed with inflatedprojections. The only rea-sons I can think of are asfollows:
1. To expand the scopeand size of the empirenamed Port MetroVancouver.
2. To provide big eco-nomic benefits to a fewso-called stakeholdersand to others such as localfarmers that stand to gainfrom selling off agricul-tural land, land develop-ers, land speculators andothers that may gain at theexpense of our environ-ment and communities.
Of course, if port expan-sion is necessary, inyears to come, it shouldfirst go to the Port ofPrince Rupert. PrinceRupert has both logisti-cal and environmentaladvantages over RobertsBank. I would assume PortMetro Vancouver doesnot like to recognize theimportance of PrinceRupert in the scheme ofthings because it is outsideof its jurisdiction and is in
effect competition.May I suggest it is
now time to redefine themandate of Port MetroVancouver. Perhaps itneeds a different boardof directors that hasa balanced make upof independent citizens,municipal councillors aswell as marine transport,engineering and logisticsexperts.
It is also time forTransport Canada to takea more active role to facili-tate accountability at PortMetro Vancouver. If thatmeans making changesto the Canadian MarineAct, then so be it. Yes, theexisting CEO and possiblyseveral senior managersmight have to be replaced.
May I suggest it is timeto put an end to little or noaccountability, the abuseof power, extravagant com-pensation and crony-ism that exists betweenmanagement and the cur-rent board of directors?
Canada needs a portauthority to manage our
ports and to ensure weprovide sufficient capac-ity for current containerimport/export businessas well as for forecastedgrowth, going forward forthe next 20 years. Statisticsprove current and pendingcontainer port expansionsfor Canada’s West Coastprovides ample capacitywithout the Roberts BankTerminal 2. Port MetroVancouver managementand board refuse to recog-nize this and continue tomislead the public in thisregard. This has to stop.
It is up to our elect-ed representatives to re-establish the port’s man-date and make the neces-sary changes to ensure weget back to reality and inso doing, save the estu-ary and the river from thisunnecessary development.
I hope you all agreethat we need to try hardto preserve the FraserRiver, its wildlife and natu-ral resources for genera-tion to come.

Editor:Re: Change at hand,
Murphy’s Law, Jan. 6In the light of your
recent editorial, theCorporation of Delta’smotto, Ours to preserveby hand and heart, comesacross as either cynical ormerely goofy.
Our council knew of the
enormous TsawwassenFirst Nation residentialand commercial develop-ments before it approvedthe Southlands develop-ment, yet it approved itanyway.
Quite apart from yearsof incessant constructiontraffic, the Southlandstransportation study
(Appendix C) predictsthat, with the Southlandsdevelopment in place,“volume exceeds capac-ity, queue is theoreticallyinfinite” along 56th Streettwice a day.
Additionally, we canexpect more elderly peo-ple being knocked downand killed as streets are
widened (at our expense)and traffic intensityincreases. Against thisbackground, the plan togut Tsawwassen town cen-tre and replace it with con-dos, including a high rise,is singularly ill-conceived.
Ours to preserve byhand and heart. Really?
TomMorrison
Editor:I wonder if our Liberal
MPmight be able toexplain to Deltans whyCanada was snubbed bythe American-led multi-
country coalition thatopposes ISIL when it hasbeen Canada’s honestyand steadfast loyalty to itsallies that has stood it ingood stead for more than
100 years on the interna-tional front.
Now, thanks to PrimeMinister Justin Trudeauand the governingLiberals, Canada and
Canadians have beenslapped in the face, hard,and no amount of phonyexcuses by the defenceminister can change that.

Huge numbers ofbald eagles congregatein Delta for the winter.Some gather on the tidalmarshes around BoundaryBay, feeding on the tensof thousands of ducks and
shorebirds that use the bayas a wintering area. Othereagles prefer the easypickings at the VancouverLandfill at Burns Bog orthe compost heaps andfarm fields along 72ndStreet.
The Christmas BirdCount held each yearat the end of Decemberregularly records between600 and 1,300 bald eagleswithin a 24-kilometreradius of Ladner. Yet, aslong-time residents willremember, there was atime when there were veryfew eagles in the Fraserdelta. Their numbers havesteadily risen over the last
four decades.Bird count data (view-
able on the Audubon.org website) reveal thaton average between 1958and 1974 fewer than threeeagles were observed onthe single day, mid-wintercount. Today, it is a com-mon occurrence to see adozen or more adult andjuvenile eagles perched ina single tree.
The local populationshift began in the 1980swhen average count num-bers first rose to 76, thenincreased through the1990s to 234. Since 2006,the average tally on theChristmas Bird Count has
soared to 936. Breedingnumbers have alsoincreased dramatically,and there are now 400 to500 nesting pairs in thelower Fraser Valley.
Audubon and BirdStudies Canada partner inorganizing the ChristmasBird Count, which beganin 1900. The informationgathered by thousands ofvolunteer birdwatchers isvery valuable in learningabout North Americanbirds.
While a single year’sdata can be misleading,collectively the surveyscan demonstrate popu-lation trends, such asthe increases in Delta’s
bald eagles and Anna’shummingbirds (now acommon garden bird,yet only observed onour local count since themid-1980s). Some otherbird populations havedeclined.
The Ladner count isoften first in Canada forhighest numbers of birds,with typically 140 to 152different species, but in2015 only 134 species wereseen, with the cold, wetweather being a factor.
Other eagle countsare conducted at salmonspawning sites. Last fall,1,400 bald eagles wererecorded on the ChehalisRiver during the Fraser
Valley Bald Eagle Festival.In contrast, at Brackendaleon the Squamish River,only 411 eagles werecounted this January,compared with over 3,700eagles back in 1994.
There are many com-plexities to the populationdynamics of these majesticbirds.Anne Murray’s books
on Delta’s natural andecological history, ANature Guide to BoundaryBay and Tracing OurPast, a Heritage Guide toBoundary Bay, are avail-able in local stores or fromwww.natureguidesbc.com.She blogs at www.nature-guidesbc.wordpress.com.

What has God done foryou lately? How would yourespond to that?
Some would answer,“Not much.” Others couldpoint to many instanceswhere God has worked intheir life.
Somemight feel thatto even ask that ques-tion borders on heresy,because it sounds so self-absorbed.
Do we expect God to beactively involved in ourlives? Do we recognize itwhen he does?
The prophet Isaiahsaid a fascinating thingin a prayer to God: “Sinceancient times no one hasheard, no ear has per-ceived, no eye has seenany God besides you, whoacts on behalf of thosewho wait for him (Isaiah64:4, NIV).” What anincredible thought: God
acts on behalf of thosewho believe in and rely onhim.
How does God act onour behalf? The Bibleis full of stories of Godintervening for his fol-lowers, but there is oneway that stands out aboveall. The New Testamentbook of Hebrews begins:In the past God spoke to
our ancestors through theprophets at many timesand in various ways, butin these last days he hasspoken to us by his Son,whom he appointed heirof all things, and throughwhom also he made theuniverse. The Son is theradiance of God’s gloryand the exact represen-tation of his being, sus-taining all things by hispowerful word. After hehad provided purificationfor sins, he sat down at theright hand of the Majestyin heaven. (Hebrews 1:1–3,NIV)
God intervened inhumanity, not only bybecoming one of us, butby paying the penalty forour sins. He really does acton behalf of those who puttheir trust in him.Mike invites dialogue at
Godacts forhis followers

MelanieEllis is asupbeatas theycome.
She’s lively and she’sbouncy and she’s hyperenough that she veritablyvibrates when discussingone of her passions.
She’s good with peopletoo, putting them instantlyat ease, but she’s evenbetter with her greatestpassion of all — a certaindomesticated animal thathappens to share virtuallyevery one of her key per-sonality traits.
Hint: woof, woof.Ellis, you see, is just
about the best friend a dogcould have. That she’s alsoa certified dog trainer — atleast when she’s not busywith her day job at theDelta Community AnimalShelter — only makessense.
So it was fitting shewas at the helmMondaynight as the shelterhosted its second annualIntroduction to Dog TrickTraining class. It was thefirst in a series of abso-lutely free canine-centricsessions the shelter willoffer in 2016, and it was aheck of a lot of fun.
It was also eye-open-ing. Turns out dogs aresmarter and far quickeron the uptake than mostof us think. Even better,says Ellis, tricks are justthe tip of the iceberg.With the right approach,they’ll eventually be bet-ter behaved pooches allaround and, if asked, willhappily do the bidding oftheir human overlords.
Indeed, Ellis claims thatthrough her reward-based,eye-contact approach,she’s taught her own dogsto do somemighty impres-sive stuff — like puttingaway toys, fetching sodapops and even helping tobring in the groceries.
“Trick training is obe-dience in a way. You’retraining your dog andmaking him smarter andable to listen better, butyou’re also adding a funaspect to it.
“Commands like ‘leaveit,’ which are usually usedfor treats on the paw oron the nose, can be usedin other ways. Say you’rewalking down the streetand you see another dog.Your dog thinks, ‘oh mygod, I have to see thatother dog.’ But if you tellhim to ‘leave it,’ the dogwill think, ‘Oh, if I ignorethat stimulus, and look upat you instead, I’ll get a
treat.’”As the evening rolled
on, it was plain to seesome dogs were morecomfy than others. LynneMcLoud’s Shih Tzu, forinstance, cowered in thepresence of so many of herpeers.
But even little Pearlacame around, ultimatelynailing her first trick in justa few minutes.
It’s that kind of speedthat so impressed LaraPaul. Sitting on the floor
with her Portuguese waterdog, Bueller, Paul admit-ted, “I’m not very creativeabout thinking up com-mands, but being here I’vealready thought of a cou-ple new things I can teachhim. So far tonight we’vegot ‘bow’ and ‘roll over.’ Hegot it (bowing) right away.He did it much quickerwith this instructor thanhe’s ever done with me.”
Across the room fromPaul and Bueller werethe Lindes — dad David,
daughter Jen and furryBFF Kora.
Said David, “We camehere tonight to work onsome basic obedience. Shetends to jump a lot so wewanted to see if we couldwork on that. She’s onlyeight months old and thisis really her first formalclass. It’s been great so far.”

Prior to Council setting the 2016 tax rates, we invite your input on the 2016 FinancialPlan – share your views on the proposed budget, including funding priorities,municipal services and upcoming projects.
View the 2016 Financial Plan on our website at Delta.ca
The proposed 2016 budget strategy includes a property tax increase of3.5%, which will go towards:
• 1% to maintain city government services• 0.5% for additional police members• 0.5% for a life cycle replacement reserve for Delta’s five synthetic turf fields• 1.5% for funding an additional Emergency Services Fire Hall at Boundary Bay
Airport
Combining property taxes and utilities, a house with an average assessment increasewill only pay a total of 3% more than 2015. With our commitment to no new
borrowing and pay as you go project funding, all tax dollars collected will be going toservices for our community. We continue to stay on track for a debt-free Delta.

Over40?Fourexercisesyouneedtobedoing
It’s nice to work outmuscles that makeus look good, isn’tit? I mean, let’s behonest, a lot of us
started working out purelydue to vanity.
Yes, feeling good, beingfit and decreasing ourchances for disease areall great and valid reasonsto work out, but let’s notoverlook the fact we alsowant some damn finelooking muscles as well.
Common areas thatwe train to “look good”depend on gender.
Men like to train theT-shirt muscles — thepecs, biceps and shoulders— while women prefer totrain the booty muscles —
the glutes and legs.What about the rest of
the body? In particular,those muscles that help uswith our daily activities?The ones that stabilize ourshoulders, hips and spine?
These arethe musclesthat help allthose big-ger muscleswe are soconcernedabout, likethe pecs,glutes andlegs, do theirjobs?
I callthese mus-cles our“forgottenmuscles”becausethey remainforgottenin most ofus with ourtraining programs untilwe eventually are plaguedwith some sort of painand injury and our trustyphysiotherapist prescribesthem to us.
Now, there are many lit-tle stabilizer muscles thatneed to be kept strong inthe body, but I have iden-
tified four that are com-monly weak on most indi-viduals, especially if youare over the age of 40.
The four forgotten mus-cle groups that you shouldbe training are: lower
trapezius(located inthe midback andcrucial forproper pos-ture and astable shoul-der joint),rotator cuff(behind theshoulderand impor-tant to keepstrong forshoulderstabil-ity), gluteusmedius(located atthe side ofthe hip and
helps control and stabilizethe hips, as well as assist-ing in knee tracking), andmultifidi (a series of deepmuscles attached up thespinal column used tostabilize the low back andpelvis before movement ofthe legs and arms occur).
Below I have outlined
four exercises you can eas-ily implement into yourregular workout routineso you no longer overlookyour forgotten muscles:
Lower TrapeziusLie over a ball, or face-
down on a bench, armsextended at 10 o’clock and2 o’clock position, thumbsup, and lift both arms upwhile sliding the shoulderblades down the back.
Rotator CuffElbow at 90 degrees and
under the shoulder, slowlypull the tubing by rotatingfrom the shoulder joint.
Gluteus MediusLie on your side with
your upper back, hips andtop leg against a wall. Liftthe top leg up and down,keeping the heel againstthe wall.
MultifidusRamp up the Superman
exercise by performing onyour hands and toes.

South Delta artistMichael Soltis has a newexhibit in Vancouveropening next Friday.
The Games PeoplePlay is showing at KimotoGallery throughoutFebruary with an openingreception set for Friday,Jan. 29.
Soltis, who lives inTsawwassen and has beenworking in visual arts since2011, said the inspirationfor his latest series hitwhen he and his wife werecleaning out closets.
“I was getting ready topack up our hall closet andlooked at all these boardgames filling the shelves,”he said in an email. “I washit with a wave of nos-talgia looking at all thesedusty boxes — things thatused to bring me so muchpleasure now never seeingthe light of day.”
Soltis added he startedwondering if there was away to breathe new lifeinto the old games.
“That’s when the idea tocreate art out of them wasborn. I wanted to get themout of the closet and on topeople’s walls where theycan be remembered andhopefully stir conversa-
tion and connection onceagain.”
The result is The GamesPeople Play, an exhibit ofmixed media work madefrom vintage board games.
Soltis has had his workshown in galleries acrossNorth America, includ-ing Los Angeles, PalmSprings, Laguna Beach,Calgary, Vancouver andPark City. His art has alsobeen featured in Anthologymagazine,Mixed Media
Artmagazine, TedXVancouver and severalnational art blogs, and willbe featured in an upcom-ing issue of CanadianHouse and Home.
His work is held in pri-vate collections through-out Canada, the UnitedStates and Europe.
The opening receptionis at Kimoto Gallery, 1525West 6th Ave., Vancouver,from 6 to 9 p.m. Soltis willbe in attendance.

From drought to deluge,climate change meansfarming the extremes.
Farming is the art andscience of managing theunmanageable. After threemonths of drought-likeweather conditions in thesummer of 2015, Delta waspounded by storms. Heavyrains and extreme windwhipped the coast andcaused localized floodingin some areas.
For Brent Harris andother farmers aroundDelta, it brought backmemories of a harvestwashed away by heavyrains late in the summerof 2010.
“It wasn’t one particularkiller storm, it just startedraining and didn’t stop,”recalls Harris, who losthis potato and bean cropsthat year. “Everything gotso saturated that beanharvesters and combinescouldn’t go in the field andwe had to abandon thecrops.”
According to climatechange projections,extreme rainfall events inDelta are expected to dou-ble in frequency by 2050.Depending on when therain falls, it can preventfarmers from getting intowaterlogged fields to plantor harvest, increase soilerosion and nutrient run-off, and damage crops.
The extent of damagefrom excessive rainfalloften depends on howquickly farmers can getwater off their fields,making effective drain-age critically important.The existing network ofprivate and publicly man-aged drainage ditcheshelp drain farm fields.The Corporation of Delta’sengineering departmentplans for and constructsimprovements to thepublic drainage system,
in addition to ongoingmaintenance, in an effortto make the systemmoreresponsive to severe rain-fall.
Laser leveling fields alsohelps to make sure waterdoesn’t collect in lowspots and installing tiledrains, another drainagetechnique, gets rid of sub-surface water, but bothoptions come at a cost.
“Installing drainage tileis an expensive proposi-tion, and what makes ittough is the reality of landownership here,” Harrisexplains. “Land is veryexpensive, and while farm-ers own some land, themajority is leased. Thatmeans we’re looking atdoing expensive capitalimprovements on land wemay or may not have inthe future.”
Researchers at UBC,
along with the DeltaFarmers’ Institute andlocal farmers, includingHarris, are working togeth-er to evaluate practicesfor improving drainage inDelta’s agricultural lands.
The project ispart of the B.C.Agriculture &Food ClimateAction Initiative’sFarm AdaptationInnovatorProgram.
The programsupports pro-jects that helpbuild the on-farm capac-ity of farmers to adapt toclimate change impacts,and is funded by GrowingForward 2, a federal-pro-vincial, territorial initia-tive.
Sean Smukler, assistantprofessor of applied biolo-gy and soil science at UBC,
is leading the study withthe aim of demonstrat-ing approaches and thenproviding planning toolsto help farmers make deci-sions about their drainageoptions.
“Drainage is a problemin Delta. The area’s closeproximity to the ocean andFraser River, coupled withfine textured soils and lowlying topography, poses aset of unique challengesto effective field drainage,”says Smukler.
“If we get rain before thefarmers get crops out of
the field, it’s disastrous.”Demonstration sites are
being set up on two fieldsin Delta using differentspacing configurationsof drainage tile to assessbelow ground drainageoptions. The surface ofthe soil is also receivingtreatments, with farmersplanting vegetation in theforms of cover crops andgrassland set-asides.
They are looking for thebest way to get the wateroff the fields to prevent lostworking days, or worse,lost crops.
“It’s a big investment todo this kind of research, soto just do it on one farm,one crop, one soil typewould really limit appli-cability to other farmers,”Smukler explains. “Ourway of addressing that isto do a large-scale surveyof what farmers are doing
and evaluate the outcomeson their fields.”
In total, 30 fields will besampled for soil type, andmonitored and assessedfor efficacy of range ofdrainage managementpractices including clean-ing and maintenance ondrainage tile systems.
“In making drainagedecisions, farmers needto figure how frequentlythey will be dealing withextreme events, the num-ber of lost workable days,crop losses and returnsover time,” says Smukler.“One of the main out-comes of this project willbe a cost-benefit analysis,and a set of tools to actu-ally make those decisions.”
The result? More localfood on the table, and lessleft soaking in the field.Story submitted by the
Delta Farmers’ Institute.

“As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long?And what do I do with the time I’ve got left? I don’t know where I’m goingfrom here but I promise it won’t be boring.” David Bowie
A few months ago I entered the “50 Club”. It has been atime of reflection and looking forward to what I want to dowith the time I’ve got left.
In my past, I trained hard. I ran and biked fast andfar. I’d get up early and workout with determinationand focus.
Now, my attention has shifted to one of health, strengthand happiness. My movement and exercise regimefocuses on well-being and longevity. It’s a bit of a reliefto be honest. I enjoy my experiences more. I take time tobe grateful for my surroundings. I am more relaxed and inless of a hurry.

dent in DSS history to have hisown bobblehead,”smiled theOhio State University graduate,who suggested Seattle Marinerspitcher James Paxton might notbe too far behind. “It’s a prettycool honour for me and cool forthe community to see a smalltown Ladner boy be able to makeit to the top of his sport and gethis own bobblehead.“I will definitely be putting
some away. My mom has collect-ed everything imaginable frommy lacrosse career over the years.It’s all in a bunch of totes in thebasement. It’s going to be quitethe man cave I have one day.”Local fans also have the option
of taking the “Schuss Bus” to thegame.The Ravens have hooked up
with The Dancing Pig for a threetier promotional package thatincludes everything from din-ner, tickets and transportationfrom the Ladner restaurant. Itwas an idea brewed up by Schussand Stealth commentator BradChalloner, another hometownboy.“We poked around the idea
when we saw the game was onmy birthday,” continued Schuss.“It gives young kids a chance toget to the game and even thosewho might want to have a few
beverages and not have to worryabout driving.“The funny thing is, when I was
younger, my mom used to takeplayers on my teams to games allover the Lower Mainland in thefamily van. That was the original‘Schuss Bus.’”The Stealth are coming off
a big 13-11 road win over theSaskatchewan Rush that evenedtheir record at 1-1. It was the firstgame played in Saskatoon sincethe defending NLL championsrelocated from Edmonton.Vancouver rallied from an
11-8 deficit with five unansweredgoals, including four in the fourthquarter. Schuss finished the nightwith a goal and three assists.“It was one of the most excit-
ing games I have every played in,”said Schuss. “There is not muchelse to cheer for in Saskatoonother than a WHL team and the(CFL) Riders. “There was close to10,000 and the arena was full ofenergy. There were fans yellingthrough the boards at us and theyhad the music as loud as it could,from the very first minute, witheveryone standing up.”Once the NLL season has con-
cluded, Schuss will once againplay box lacrosse. He remainsunder contract with the OhioMachine of the U.S. pro fieldlacrosse league and plans onheading south for a few gamesnext summer when his scheduleallows him too.His wish list also includes play-
ing for the Ladner Pioneers — thehometown senior B team thatretired his dad (Ed Schuss) anduncle’s (John Schuss) jerseys.Unbeaten Colorado’s line-
up features Schuss’ one-timeDelta Islanders teammate EliMcLaughlin and rookie JordanGilles whom he coached last yearas an assistant with his formerjunior team.“With Eli and Jordan coming
here it makes it an even morespecial night, Schuss added.“Three Delta Junior productson the field for the same gameis pretty cool. It’s going to be anexciting game and we want togive our fans a win.”For ticket availability Saturday

the win column for 2016 and they haveclinched a Pacific Junior Hockey Leagueplayoff spot too.
The Ice Hawks snapped a six gamewinless streak with a wild 9-6 victoryover the visiting Grandview Steelers onTuesday night in Ladner. The result alsoextended their margin to 18 points overPort Moody for the final post-seasonberth in the Tom Shaw Conference, mak-
ing it impossible for Panthers to catchthem with eight games remaining.

Occasionally aclient will wonderif their home
sold fast because itwas priced too low.Pricing a home for salerequires much thought,research, and analysisto maximize the seller’sbottom line. The actualsales process canalso be a significantfactor. In todayslimited supply, highdemand environment,we can use what wecall a “delayed offerpresentation” processto obtain the highestsales price possible.
At any one time,anywhere from a fewto close to dozens ofpotential buyers may bewaiting for a particulartype of property tocome to the market.Perhaps it’s a single-family home in Ladnerwith suite potentialor a spacious homein Tsawwassen witha view. Regardless,
most home buyerstoday are well aware ofwhat’s new to market.They may receiveautomatic alerts fromMLS systems, scanrealtor.ca or other realestate websites, orhave their Real Estaterepresentative alertthem. Auto alerts areespecially prevalentthese days. If thesedozens of buyersare on alert for ahome in a particularneighbourhood, pricerange, size range, etc.,every one of thosebuyers will receive anemail alert as soon asthe home is listed.The key is building updemand to ensureas many of thosepotential buyers seethe home as possible.The more people thatview the home, thehigher the chance thatmore will want to bidfor the home, and thehigher the offer price
will go. This is whereour “delayed offerpresentation” processcomes in.Once a home is initiallylisted we can hold offall offers for a week orso. Holding off on offersfor a week gives asmany of those initially-interested buyers anopportunity to view thehome. In that first week,showings are booked,open houses conducted,perhaps advanceinspections are done orstrata docs reviewed.That first week is a busytime for all involved!Ideally, the home sellsat the end of that firstweek when the actualoffer process opens up.And ideally, it sells withmore than one buyerwanting it, resulting inthe highest sales pricefor you the home seller.If the home does notsell in that first weekthat immediate pool ofpotential buyers has
just been exhausted.After the week haspassed, we only havepeople new to themarket to work with.The original pool ofbuyers may dwindlein the second, andsubsequent, weeks. Lesspotential buyers, lessupward pressure on thesales price.Of course, manyvariables affect theselling price. With theongoing uncertainty inthe world-wide politicalarena and financialmarkets, no doubt atleast some homeowners- especially those withsingle-family homes -have decided this is thetime to take their gainsand move on.Feel free to contact usanytime to discuss yourreal estate options andpossibilities, and howwe can work together tomaximize the sale priceof your home.
