The newest member of themedical staff at Delta Hospitalmay not have much to say but willbe an invaluable practice tool.
The Delta Hospital Foundationrecently purchased a simulatordoll for the hospital’s clinicalnurse educators. The life-likedoll cost just under $20,000, apurchase made possible thanks tocommunity donations.
Simulator dolls are beingused increasingly by hospitals toapproximate clinical situations,allowing staff to practice andcorrect mistakes before treatingpatients.
The life-size dolls make noises,including screaming. They can behooked up to medical monitors,while central fluid lines or chesttubes can be inserted, just like areal patient.
They have a pulse, bleed andhave other lifelike functions toenhance training for both routineand more complicated medicalsituations.
Someone at the hospital alsohas the ability to be in a differentroom, wearing a headset and mic,to talk through the doll to respondto the staff.
At a demonstration at the hos-pital last week, the doll was defi-brillated in a heart attack scenario.
Alastair Thurley, a clinicalnurse educator at the hospital,noted nurses’ skills can now beevaluated in a much less stress-ful environment than working onpatients.
“We’re finding sometimes the
students aren’t as clinically readyas we would hope, so this is oneof the ways we can bring up theirskill level without actually prac-ticing on real-life patients.”
Noting doctors can also use thedoll as a practice tool, Thurleysaid it would be invaluable in sev-eral areas of the hospital, includ-ing the ER, surgery and cardiol-
ogy. It can present complicationsstaff may not see often, keepingskills current to deal with them.
Delta Hospital’s redheadedsimulation doll has a resemblance
to Richie Cunningham from the1970s TV series Happy Days, butit hasn’t been given a nicknameyet. The foundation will hold anaming contest later this year.

It looks like ScottHamilton will be staying onDelta council a little whilelonger.
Elected as the LiberalMLA for Delta North inlast May’s provincial elec-tion, Hamilton, a Deltacouncillor since 2002, hadbeen given the green lightby his civic colleaguesto take an unpaid leaveof absence until Jan. 7 ofthis year. The move wasdesigned to eliminate therequirement for the munici-pality to hold a costly by-election.
Hamilton was one ofseveral civic politicians inthe province to win a seatin the legislature last year,and although they couldhave remained on theirrespective councils, PremierChristy Clark indicated shewasn’t in favour of that,so Hamilton and the oth-ers chose to take leaves ofabsence.
The four-term councillor,however, didn’t disappearentirely, attending a fewmeetings as well as keepinghimself updated by watch-ing council meetings onvideo.
It turned out to beadvantageous for council
as his attendance ensureda quorum for certain meet-ings. It also helped MayorLois Jackson’s DIVA keepits majority on council,although there hasn’t beenan instance in which DIVArequired Hamilton’s vote toapprove or defeat a motion.
The rookie MLA told theOptimist rather than offi-
cially resign now that Jan.7 has come and gone, hewouldn’t mind continuingin his current role.
He noted Delta hasa smaller than normalcouncil with at least twofewer members than othersimilar-sized municipali-ties. It means an increasedworkload here and a greater
chance of not having a quo-rum.
“I went to a meeting onetime late last year and I rep-resented quorum,” Hamiltonsaid. “Our meetings are alittle more frequent and I doknow there will be absencescoming up, so I can alwaysmake myself available.”
He said one option was
to become a full member ofcouncil again now that hisoriginal leave of absencehad expired, but that wouldhave meant ensuring hedoesn’t miss more thanfour consecutive meetings,thereby running the risk oflosing the seat.
The best option, he said,is to have council granthim another unpaid leaveof absence that wouldexpire around election time,enabling him to continue tocontribute.
He emphasized hewouldn’t “double dip” andwouldn’t accept a civic sal-ary under that scenario.
Saying she supports hisposition, Jackson confirmedshe spoke to Hamiltonabout him sticking aroundto help out, rather than leav-ing council with an outrightvacancy.
Hamilton and Jacksonboth pointed to SurreyCoun. Marvin Hunt asanother civic politician notresigning his council seatafter being elected as anMLA. After the provincialelection, Hunt, LiberalMLA for Surrey-Panorama,said he intended to resign inJanuary to avoid a by-elec-tion, but has since changedhis mind. Saying that aslong as he can contribute,he will stay on council.
There have been a fewchanges around the DeltaOptimist office this week.
Publisher Tom Siba,who returned to the paperin 2012 after an 11-year-absence, is moving on tohead the Optimist’s sisterpublication, the RichmondNews.
Siba’s connection to theOptimist will remain, how-
ever, as the Tsawwassenresident will continueto write a CommunityComment column.
Long-time sales managerDave Hamilton has beenappointed general managerof the Delta Optimist andthe South Delta Leader,which was acquired by theOptimist’s parent company,Glacier Media, last fall.
“I thankTom, andthe previouspublish-ers I haveworkedwith, fortheir guid-ance overthe yearsand lookforward to the opportu-
nity to work with the greatpeople that have helped
make theseGlacier prod-ucts successfulover the years,”Hamilton said.

An important step tohelp prevent the fast-grow-ing crime of identity theftis to properly destroy anysensitive and confidentialinformation.
Vancity-Tsawwassen andUrban Impact are partner-ing for a second year ina row to sponsor a shred-ding fundraising event thisSaturday from 10 a.m. to2 p.m. to benefit the DeltaGymnastics Society.
Businesses and individu-als are welcome to bringtheir bags and boxes of doc-uments to shred as well asrefundable containers (bot-tles, cans, juice boxes, etc.)to the Vancity-Tsawwassen/Tim Hortons area wherea shredding truck will bestationed.
Donations will be accept-
ed by members of DeltaGymnastics, who will beassisting with the removalof boxes and refundablecontainers.
“As a resolution for theNew Year our communityshould consider properlydestroying their confidentialinformation,” said Mark
Popp, business developmentrepresentative from UrbanImpact.
“Our company believesthat properly shredding
personal and business docu-ments will help alleviateany risk of identity theft.”
Identity theft is a formof stealing an individual’spersonal or business infor-mation to access resources,obtain credit and other ben-efits in the victim’s name.
“Once stolen, thieves canuse your personal or busi-ness name and financialinformation to open creditcards and run up expenses,”said Michelle Laviolette,manager at Vancity-Tsawwassen.
“Once identity thieves
steal your name, it’s verydifficult to clear up yourcredit history afterwards, soit is critical that you protectyour personal information.Proper shredding is at thetop of the list.”
Delta Gymnastics ath-letes commit between 15and 30 hours per week toperfect their skills. Theyhave the opportunity toshow their dedication andhard work during local,national and internationalcompetitions but it repre-sents a big financial com-mitment to the families.During the year, the fami-lies undertake various fund-raising initiatives.
All those who donatewill be entered in a draw towin prizes donated by localmerchants.
“We will set up in a con-venient way that will allowpeople to drive through toour tents and truck, dropoff your boxes or bags,and continue on your wayquickly and efficiently,”said Laviolette.
For more information,visit Vancity-Tsawwassen,call Delta Gymnastics at604-943-0460 or visit www.deltagymnastics.com.

Ladner lost another littlepiece of history last monthwhen the one of the formerBrackman-Ker granarybuildings was demolished.
The more than 100-year-old building was one ofthree granaries constructedat Chisholm and Georgiastreets in the late 1890s,across the street from theBrackman-Ker warehouse,which collapsed into theriver in 2010.
The building had falleninto disrepair over theyears and last November,after several inspectionsthroughout 2012 and 2013,the municipality declaredit as being in unsafe condi-tion and ordered that it bedemolished.
According to a staffreport, the mudsills thatsupported the structure haddeteriorated so much thewalls and roof were distort-ed beyond acceptable limits.
“The structure is furtherweakened by environmentalfactors and a lack of main-tenance,” the report states.“Holes in the roof andloose/rotting siding boardsare evident throughout...
“Staff is concerned thatthe building poses a sig-nificant risk to the safetyof persons and property...The building in its presentcondition could collapse ina wind storm.”
The three granaries werebuilt in 1897, five yearsafter the construction of the
warehouse on the wharf.The warehouse was origi-
nally built for J.A. Patersonand H.D. Benson, who soldit, and the associated gra-naries across the street, toBrackman-Ker Company ofVictoria in 1904.
In 1966, the buildingswere sold to Buckerfields.
In the early part of the20th century, about 5,000tons of oats and 1,500 tons
of hay were purchasedannually from Delta farm-ers. Many of those farm-ers shipped their oats, hayand other crops from theBrackman-Ker wharf.
Each fall, it was commonto see wagons loaded withoats or hay lined up alongChisholm and Delta streetswaiting their turn to unloadat the Brackman-Ker gra-naries.

A local marital arts stu-dio is hosting a workshopthis week designed to givewomen tools that can beused to defend themselves.
Tsawwassen UnitedMMA, Fitness with PJ andGo Fit Gals are presenting awomen’s self-defense work-shop on Friday.
United MMA owner andhead coach Andrew Davieswill lead the workshop thathas been designed to teachwomen a variety of waysto defend themselves in theevent of an attack.
“It’s not meant to scarewomen,” says organizer,and local personal trainer,PJ Wren. “It’s meant toempower.”
Davies said he’ll begoing through a number ofbasic strikes that womencan use against an attacker,as well as pointing outvital areas to strike, how toescape the most commonholds and moves that can beused while standing or onthe ground.
“It’s important to knowwhere to aim,” Davies said,adding he can teach womenhow to use their strength todo as much damage as pos-sible quickly and get awayfrom an attacker.
“The idea is to give themreally basic moves that areeasy to remember,” he said.
Davies said most peoplejust instantly freeze when
confronted by an unexpect-ed attack and the aim of theworkshop is to give womena few moves they will beable to do instinctively.
While the subject mat-ter is serious, Davies saidthe aim is to have some funwhile learning the defensivemoves.
“We’re here to educate,empower and have fun,”Wren said.
The session is suitablefor all ages.
The workshop, whichcosts $50, is scheduled for7 to 9 p.m. at TsawwassenUnited MMA, 107-5405-12th Ave. Along with thetwo-hour workshop, attend-ees will also receive a swagbag full of goodies fromlocal businesses valued at$100.

Point isn’tright placefor towers
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
Given that radio towers are meant tobe located on mountainsides and otherremote locations, why a proposal in PointRoberts is still alive and kicking is a realhead scratcher.
If you haven’t been following theissue, a Lower Mainland-based SouthAsian AM radio station is looking toerect five 45-metre (150-foot) towers ona vacant lot just south of the Canadianborder. Why you should be concerned,particularly if you live in Tsawwassen, isbecause of what’s called blanketing inter-ference, radio waves that wreak havocwith pretty much every kind of electronicdevice imaginable.
The folks in Ferndale, a town of12,000 just south of the border inWashington state where the towers arecurrently located, have endured morethan a dozen years of this interferenceand are at the end of their collectiveropes. They have complained long andloud that simple, everyday activities —answering the phone, logging on to thecomputer, watching TV — are compro-mised in some way by the radio towers.
It’s got so be such a nuisance and thecomplaints have mounted to such anextent the radio station is proposing tomove the towers, which makes sense, butsomehow the tiny American peninsulasouth of Tsawwassen was viewed as apreferred landing spot, which makesabsolutely no sense.
It’s obvious the FederalCommunications Commission in theU.S. only granted a construction permitbecause it was unaware more than 20,000Canadians live just across the border inTsawwassen, a community conspicuouslyabsent in the radio station’s applica-tion. That omission should be enoughto reverse the approval, to say nothingof the lunacy of transferring Ferndale’sproblems to another jurisdiction.
Opponents on both sides of the borderhave united to fight the case in the U.S.capital as well as at Whatcom County,which still must provide a conditionaluse permit in order for the towers to beerected. Hopefully somewhere along theline someone in a position of authorityrecognizes the absurdity of this situationand pulls the plug on this application.
Residents shouldn’t have to spendthousands of dollars to battle a proposalthat would never have got this far if allthe pertinent information had been beforethe decision makers. The impact thisapplication will have on the area is sim-ply too great to allow it to proceed.
It’s evident the towers need to bidfarewell to Ferndale, but it’s equally clearthat Point Roberts shouldn’t become theirnew home.

Earlier this week as I walkedfrom my (at the time) office tothe Ladner post office, I passed abusy scene at the Delta HospitalAuxiliary store. It made me thinkabout all the people putting involunteer hours to raise money forDelta Hospital.
The Delta Hospital Foundationand Delta Hospital Auxiliary havean outstanding record for upgradesto our local hospital. Back in the‘90s, there were grave concernsthat Delta Hospital was done for,but with community support, it hasflourished over the last couple ofdecades.
While Delta Hospital is one ofthe most visible recipients of com-munity support, it is only one ofhundreds of non-profits in Deltathat work to enhance life in thecommunity.
The organizations run from
scouts and guides, sports teams,arts groups and service clubs tothose such as Deltassist and theBoys and Girls Club, which has avariety of programs throughout themunicipality.
Some of the larger organizationshave paid staff, but most are run byvolunteers in whole or in part. It isthe volunteers who are the glue thatmake a community strong.
The time they put in does notget counted currently in the grossdomestic product, but they do moreto make a community strong thanany dubious increase in our GDP.
What does get counted in GDPis the expenditure of money, andnon-profit organizations have donea lot of physical additions to thecommunity. In Tsawwassen, theLittle House Society quickly rosefrom the ashes to reconstruct theirmeeting facility on 12th Avenue.Up in Diefenbaker Park, theTsawwassen Rotary Club helpedwith the construction of the waterpark.
In Ladner, there has been mil-lions of dollars spent on DeltaHospital with more to come. Justdown the road from the hospitalis the Delta Hospice, which wasanother case of a non-profit orga-nization helping to raise funds to
build another community amenity.In the same vicinity, the new DeltaSport Development Centre buildingis in full swing.
Years before that, the construc-tion of the Boys and Girls Club inLadner met a need for the youth inthe community. Next door to them,McKee House was greatly expand-ed to meet the needs of those at theother end of the age spectrum.
Now the REACH Child andYouth Development Society hopesto move into the neighbourhood.Its foundation is on a campaignto raise $4 million to constructa facility adjacent to MemorialPark where Kin House is located.REACH is currently located on72nd Street out by Boundary BayAirport — an inconvenient spot toget to, and the roof leaks.
Its fund raising gala is March 1stat the Harris Barn on Arthur Drive.I’m sure they will keep the eveningrelatively sedate to alleviate theangst of the barn’s neighbours.
The countless hours put in byvolunteers throughout South Deltais what makes this area such agreat place to live. If you get achance, help support the organiza-tions that are doing so much toenhance the livability of our com-munity.
Hard-working volunteers arethe core of the community

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Re: Options only serve to
drive up the price of farm-land, letter to the editor,
Dec. 27Debbie McBride stated
she was “confused” by mycomments about long-termplanning on our familyfarm. Given the defini-tion of confused is “beingunable to think with clarityor act with understandingand intelligence,” I wantedto share a few facts andpossible solutions for the“confused.”
In the late 1960s, 4,000acres of farmland wasexpropriated from manypioneer farming families,many of whom had beenfarming the land in excessof a century. Farmers werepaid $2,700 per acre in1969, then they paid back$9,000 over the next 30years in rent for a net lossof $6,300 per acre, with noequity.
In 1999, the provincialgovernment sold approxi-mately 3,000 acres back toeither the original landown-ers or other farmers leasingthese lands for an averageof $12,000 per acre.
Rumours are out therethat some land may be
needed for rail or portuse. We know the federalgovernment has the rightto expropriate, as we expe-rienced in the past, so thistime around we are betterprepared if it comes to that.This is about long-termplanning.
McBride’s commentsabout these options (with nomoney down) driving farm-land prices up for youngerfarmers couldn’t be furtherfrom the truth. Farmlandin the ALR sells based onits agricultural capabilities,however, if a governmentwants to use the land foranother use, that puts theprice up. We have all seenexamples of that in the pastand will likely see it again.
I would invite McBrideto pick up the phone andcall me to discuss her “con-fusion” just as her and theAPE group called myselfand others in the farmingcommunity to come outand support their protestsat the 41B Street overpassconstruction and the SouthFraser Perimeter Road. Weattended both, only to havea negative letter to the edi-tor in return.
It’s high time McBrideand her group join with
others, whether it be withother organizations, Deltacouncil or senior levels ofgovernment, in fighting toget Delta the most we canin mitigation for the land-owners and the good for allDeltans.
It’s nobody’s fault Deltahappens to be situated at thegateway to North Americafrom Asia, but it is our faultif we don’t unite and lobbyfor the best we can get forDelta.

Editor:Re: Radio towers hearing
delayed, Jan. 10The article on the pro-
posed radio tower arraypretty much covers the cur-rent situation. There is oneline, however, that needsclarification.
The article stated: “Astaff member with Sher-E-Punjab told the Optimistthey currently only rentspace from KRPI....” Thisisn’t quite right, and theproblem is with that word“only.”
As has been well docu-mented, Sher-E-Punjaband BBC Broadcasting,which owns the tower arrayin Ferndale, are overlap-ping companies owned bythe same family in a legal
arrangement that essentiallyallows Sher-E-Punjab tobroadcast out of Canada(from its Richmond studios)to a Canadian audiencewithout a licence from theCRTC.
The officers of Sher-E-Punjab control the opera-tions of BBC Broadcastingand BBC Holdings (ownersof the land on which theFerndale towers sit) and,hence, control KRPI. IfSher-E-Punjab needs tocontact KRPI, they justneed to look in the mirror.
This pattern of owner-ship lies at the core of thecase that has been filedwith the FCC challengingthe licence renewal of BBCBroadcasting.

I am a student and thatpass is expensive for me.Thank you for your honesty.
It may seem trivial butthis small act of kindnesssaved me a lot of stress anda fair bit of money. It rein-forces (or restores) faith inpeople when someone doessomething like this.
Thanks again, I can’t tellyou how much I appreci-ate it.

Let’s have a party.Heck, it’s mid January.
Christmas has come andgone. The bills are arriving.Winter’s settled in. No one’spottering in the garden ortanning on the deck.
You could decide to hun-ker down. You could wrapyourself in blankets, parkyourself in front of the tele-vision and camp out on thesofa until spring makes anappearance.
On the other hand, youcould pick something— anything — to cel-ebrate. Dill pickles, say.Pillowcases. Nail clippers.Cell phones. All wonders ofthe modern world.
I say we should have aparty to give them their justrewards.
“This may sound weird,”I said to the husband, “butwhat would you say if Isuggested a tomato-themed
party? I mean, tomatoesare pretty cool, and they’reworth celebrating. Andthere’s pretty much nothingto do at this time of year.”
He nodded.“And we’d do what?” he
asked.“I don’t know,” I said.
“Maybe suggest the guestswear red. We’d ask themto invent songs and poemsabout tomatoes. We couldserve bruschetta and sun-dried tomato risotto.”
OK, so it’s lame. But Itried. And it beats the sofacamp-out.
“I’m wondering,” said thehusband, “if there are anyother possibilities.”
“Of course there are,” Isaid. “But Hawaiian-themedparties are just so passé.And so are ugly sweaterparties, Mardi Gras par-ties and Gatsby parties.We need to come up withsomething that no one’sever thought of.”
The husband shrugged.He was lying on the couchbeneath a blanket. If everthere was someone in needof a party, it was him.
“Let’s see,” I said. “We
could celebrate coffee. Orcandlesticks. Or Caribbeanmusic.”
“Candlesticks?” askedthe husband.
“OK,” I said. “Onceagain, admittedly lame.”
I thought. And I thoughtsome more.
“I have it!” I said. “We’llcelebrate golf! We’ll askeveryone to wear golfclothes — minus the spikes,of course — and we’ll haveputting contests and watchfinal rounds of the Masters!We’ll make a cake in theshape of a golf ball andwe’ll play Name That Holeand Pin the Club on theGolfer!”
The husband was start-ing to come around. He satup and tossed the blanketaside.
“Yes,” he said. “Yes. Ican see this. We could evengive away prizes. Like ballmarkers. And range tokens.And tees.”
So there you have it: theparty’s set, and I can hardlywait.
I may not like thoseChristmas bills, but I lovethis time of year.
Party at this time of yearjust par for the course

Six of Delta Gymnastics Society’s strongest female gym-nasts are in Hawaii for a pair of international meets.
Ranging from ages 10-14, these girls have been trainingtogether for more than two years at an average of 16 hoursper week.
“Each of the participating gymnasts have been commit-ted to the sport their whole life, some girls started trainingas young as three years old,” explained Jennifer Dober,head coach of the Delta Gymnastics Women’s ArtisticGymnastics competitive team.
Sara Chan, a Delta Gymnastics veteran and a Grade 8 atDelta secondary school, will be attending these competi-tions for a third time in her career.
“I am very excited to compete there again because Iloved the location, the exposure to other clubs from othercountries, and of course I love going there with my friends,”said Chan before her departure.
The Delta contingent participated in the Gymnastics inParadise this past weekend and will conclude the trip at theAloha Gymnastics Festival in Oahu.
Gymnastics in Paradise was an international competi-tion featuring competitors from Canada, Australia and theUnited States in levels five through elite. The event washosted by the Hawaiian Island Twisters Gymnastics Club.
The Aloha Gymnastics Festival is also an internationalmeet, but it includes a wider variety of competitors fromplaces such as Japan and New Zealand. The Festival is host-ed by the Kokokahi Gymnastics Team and is famous for itsbeautiful and coveted seashell trophies.
The team has also been invited to train at the KokokahiGymnastics Club during its stay.
“These events are an incredible opportunity for the gym-nasts because it will help them expand their internationalgymnastics experience, they will compete with a wide vari-
ety of levels, practice at a completely different location, andlearn about the culture of the area” added Dober.
The girls are excited to meet many people and make newfriends, as well as sight see and have a chance to experiencethe location.
“We have only competed as far away as Idaho and manyof us have never been to Hawaii before,” added Chan.
The team’s main focus is to expand their gymnasticsknowledge and soon all of these girls’ hard work and train-ing will pay off. Dober is expecting to return to Canadaafter 10 days of training and competition across the PacificOcean, hopefully with a beautiful seashell trophy in tow.
Delta Gymnastics Society is located in Ladner at theDelta Sport Development Centre. The club offers a widevariety of recreational and competitive programs for partici-pants aged 12 months to adults. For information call 604-943-0460 or visit www.deltagymnastics.com.
Delta Gymnastics sends team to pair of meets in Hawaii
Ice Hawks make coaching changeDerek Chichak wins in his debut on Saturday night as Delta rallies for road win over North Vancouver Wolf Pack
The Pacific International Junior HockeyLeague trading deadline provided muchmore drama than usual for the Delta IceHawks.
The club announced Friday it hasrelieved head coach Roger Ross of hisduties. The Ice Hawks had dropped sevenof their last eight games including a 6-1 loss to the Richmond Sockeyes lastTuesday.
Taking over the coaching reigns forthe balance of the season and beyond isDerek Chichak who guided a number ofoutstanding teams in the Seafair MinorHockey Association. His longtime assis-tant Bob Walker will be joining him.
Chichak made his debut on Saturdaynight in North Vancouver where the IceHawks snapped a four game losing skidwith a 5-4 victory over the second placeWolf Pack.
“We just felt for the past six weeks theclub hasn’t improved and it might be evena little longer than that,” said Ice Hawksgeneral manager Peter Zerbinos. “I havewatched us become stagnate while otherteams have got a lot better. It’s somethingI have to take responsibility for as well.
“I have known Derek for a long timeand we have had a huge flavour of SeafairMinor Hockey players on this team thathave brought us a lot of success who werecoached by him. This is a long term com-mitment we have made.”
Chichak’s Ice Hawk alumni includesRyan Cuthbert, Cody Fidgett and AaronMerrick who all had leading roles in the
club winning the PIJHL championshiptwo years ago. His son Sam Chichakcaptained the Richmond Sockeyes to theprovincial and Western Canadian champi-onships last season. His older son Andrewalso played for Richmond.
“It’s a pretty neat connection. At onepoint I recall seeing 10 of my former play-ers in the line-up (between the Ice Hawksand the Sockeyes),” said Chichak. “Thebiggest challenge is going to be getting afeel for these players. There’s definitely
going to be a bit of a learning curve butit’s going to have to be a quick one.”
Chichak has been coaching the newjuvenile team with the South Delta MinorHockey Association. With only a coupleof potential conflicts, he will see doubleduty for the balance of the minor hockeyseason.
Icing...The Ice Hawks did make two player
transactions at the league roster dead-line, acquiring forward Michal Urbaniak
from the Grandview Steelers and signingdefenceman Colby Rosner.
They also released forward Jeff Penmanwho was obtained from Comox Valley inNovember.
The victory in North Vancouver sawBrent Chreptyk’s second of the night tiethe game at 4-4 with 1:48 left. He thenset-up Evan Grannary for the game win-ner with 37 seconds remaining.
