TIME TO GET BACK IN SHAPE?TIME TO GET BACK IN SHAPE?
WE All SAY, “I'm going to startworking out once I get the kidsorganized” and in January 2011that's exactly what I did!
Hello, my name is Suzana-Maria Harrach and my story beginsa year ago when I joined the Run Inn Clinic in Tsawwassen B.C.where I live with my 2 children.I thought it would be intimidating with all those “fast runners”but I could not have been more wrong.I began my journey with the Fitness Walking Group and I didn'trealize how much I would learn of myself. I received a lot of
help and encouragementfrom our group leaders Ann Rankin and Nancy Tait as well as all the otherparticipants in the clinic.Outside of the Tuesday Night Run Inn workouts, I also added in the FredGingell Stairs and continue to do my “Homework” of two more power walksalong the Beach Grove Dyke.It wasn't easy and there were many hurdles to jump over to get to a place notonly in my inner beauty but outer. To achieve this goal the Run Inn Clinicare superb in teaching you proper techniques in stretching, proper running/walking techniques.It wasn't long before I noticed the benefit of sticking to a fitness routine. Theinches were melting away and I had lost 22 pounds. It was then that I knewall the aches and pains and the crazy hills my group leaders would make meendure was paying off.I knew I had turned over a new leaf when I accidentally tried on my 11 yearold daughters yoga pants and they fit! This was a milestone in itself. Ha! Ha!Yes!For 2012, my fitness goal is to continue with the Tuesday Night Run InnClinic and I am also signing up to train for my first Half Marathon Trainingon Saturday Mornings. This spring I hope to participate in my 1st halfmarathon. If I can do it anyone can. I hope to see you at the VIM!Thank you for taking the time for reading my insight and hopefullyI made you laugh and given you the inspiration.

Delta home to thriving hospitalAfter facing cutbacks, more local residents can access medical services closer to home at Delta Hospital
Delta Hospitalcontinues toincrease themedical services
it offers to the community.In a recent interview with
the Optimist, Dr. RobertShaw, head of internalmedicine at the hospital,provided an update on someof the services that havebeen added as well as whatcould be on the horizon.
A pacemaker clinic,for those needing annualchecks, recently began atthe hospital and should befully up and running withina year.
Shaw said patients withheart rhythm problems inthe Fraser Health regionnormally have a pacemakerimplanted at Eagle RidgeHospital in Port Moody, but
testing is now done only atRoyal Columbian Hospitalin New Westminster.
“A lot of these patientsare 75- or 80-years-old andit is quite a trip for themto go all the way out therefor that. We’ve been doingpacemaker checks for thelast four or five years, butour program director forcardiac services was kindenough to approve thepacemaker clinic for us for-mally.”
The clinic at DeltaHospital will be open acouple of days per month.
A memory clinic forolder adults is in its secondyear at Delta Hospital, pro-viding diagnoses on suchconditions as dementia.
Another new service isa nuero psychiatrist to dealwith patients with complexpsychiatric disorders result-ing from neurological trau-
ma or disease. Shaw saidnormally those services areonly available at UBC.
Meanwhile, there’s a planto have psychiatrist on callfor the ER several days perweek starting next year.
Some other specialists,including a lung specialist,have already been addedover the past couple ofyears. Shaw said the medi-cal staff would also like tohave other visiting special-ists, including a rumotolo-gist and nuerologist.
Bigger changes could beon the horizon for the facil-ity as a new master site plannears completion.
Earlier this year, FraserHealth launched a plan-ning initiative aimed atdetermining what servicesthe Ladner facility shouldprovide as well as whatbuilding additions might beneeded in the coming years.
In a recent interview,Delta Hospital Foundationchair Lois Wilkinson said,“I think the whole com-munity is also interested inthese recommendations.”
She noted, “The nextsteps would be to developa business case for the dif-ferent priorities and thatwould go to the Ministry ofHealth.”
The Master ConceptPlan is to provide direc-tion over the next 20 years,Wilkinson said, noting itwould also provide detailsof major improvements,land planning and theframework for health ser-vices.
The foundation is shar-ing the cost of the planningexercise, which shouldbe completed by January.Fraser Health and theMinistry of Health willhave to sign off on the new
site plan.One of the recommenda-
tions in the document isadding a 25-bed psychiatricunit.
Noting the hospital alsoneeds additional acute carebeds, Shaw said there’s onlyso much more the facil-ity can provide with theamount of available space.However, there’s enoughland where the hospital islocated for potential expan-sions, he said.
“I think if the site planallows for us to have moreroom – mind you, we’redoing all this with twoexam rooms and very oftenwe’re having two or threeclinics at the same time –we’d be able to invite morespecialists to come here,”he said.
Shaw pointed out Deltahas a strong group of fam-ily physicians looking after
their patients’ care.“They work very closely
with us, obviously, in thehospital and they coordi-nate their patients care,many with very complexmedical problems whoare referred to Vancouver,Richmond, to Surrey andRoyal Columbian (hospi-tals). They have to navigatetheir patients through themedical system and do anextremely good job at it. Allwe’re doing here is, hope-fully, making it a bit easierto get timely access to spe-cialists,” he said.
Shaw said the averagewait time for someone inVancouver to see a internistis three months, while theaverage wait time to see aneurologist or rumotologistis six to 12 months. Thewait time to see a specialistat Delta Hospital is nevermore than a month, he said.

Taking aim at impaired drivingDelta police target drinking drivers with annual holiday roadblocks
It’s 7 p.m. on a Friday and group ofDelta police officers is getting ready forthe night’s shift.
After a few last minute instructions fromA/Sgt. Rob Kennett and Sgt. Kevin Jones,who heads the department’s traffic unit,Kennett and the six officers head out. Theteam has a singular mission on this night— taking, and keeping, impaired drivers offDelta’s roads.
This particular night (Dec. 16) hap-pens to fall on the last full weekend beforeChristmas, one of the busiest for seasonalcelebrations.
The officers head out to a stretch ofRiver Road between Ladner and NorthDelta to set up another CounterAttack road-block.
Between mid-November and New Year’sEve, Delta police, and departments aroundthe Lower Mainland and across the country,are out in force in an annual campaign toreduce the number of impaired drivers.
“A big part of this is deterrence,” saysJones. “These kinds of things save lives.”
On this night, the officers are out early,stopping cars heading in both directionsin the 7900-block of River Road. Anotherofficer is stationed a few hundred metresaway looking for drivers trying to avoid theroadblock.

While the roadblocks are gener-ally set up in an area that makes itdifficult to circumvent, some driv-ers will simply pull a U-turn andhead back the way they came.
That happens more than onceearly on. After stopping one U-turning vehicle, the officer findsthe driver impaired by drugs.Another driver turning aroundtells the officer he thought it wasa crash — a common occurrence,says Jones.
Back at the roadblock, offi-cers ask drivers a few questions— “Where are you heading?”“Where have you been?” “Haveyou had anything to drinktonight?” — in order to make aquick assessment.
Jones says they’re lookingfor any indication the driver isimpaired — glassy, red eyes,slurred speech, an odour of alco-hol. Anyone suspected of beingimpaired is pulled over and askedto provide a breath sample.
On this particular night, offi-cers check several hundred driversat two locations. Of the 15 driversasked to give a breath sample, allpass.
Jones says this is “very out ofthe ordinary.”
“It means that the IRP program(the new impaired driving legisla-tion) is working.”
Jones says in order to make ademand for a breath sample, anofficer must have a reasonablesuspicion a driver has been drink-ing — such as an odour of alcoholor someone admitting alcohol was
consumed prior to driving.He says the fact none of the
drivers asked to give a breathsample blew a “warn” or “fail”means people are stopping afterone or two drinks if they knowthey’re going to be getting behindthe wheel.
“It means that people are drink-ing more responsibly,” Jones says.
During last year’s campaign,officers stopped about 4,800 vehi-cles and asked 51 drivers to takea breath test. Of those, 42 passedwhile nine registered a warn ora fail. Five drivers were issuedthree-day driving suspensionswhile the other four were handed30-day driving bans.
Const. Ciaran Feenan, thedepartment’s media officer, saysdrivers who blow in the warnrange can either call someone tocome and pick them up or officerswill call a taxi to take them home.Drivers who blow in the fail rangeare typically taken back to thedetachment for further breath teststo get a precise reading of theirblood alcohol level.
B.C.’s tougher impaired driv-ing penalties, which have been inplace for a little over a year, meandrivers caught in the “warn” range(which indicates a blood alcohollevel of between .05 and .08)face a three-day driving suspen-sion and a $200 fine for the firstoffence. Getting caught a secondtime in the “warn” range withinfive years will garner a seven-dayban and a $300 fine; a third willmean a 30-day ban and a $400fine.
The new regulations also
include stiffer penalties for driv-ers who register a “fail” (.10 orhigher), however, last month aB.C. Supreme Court judge struckdown that part of the legislationbecause the appeal process foranyone penalized under the newlegislation is not adequate.
Since the ruling, Jones says,officers have been acting in goodfaith and not handing out thosepenalties to drivers.
However, on Dec. 23 B.C.Supreme Court Justice JonSigurdson issued a follow upjudgement suspending the imple-mentation of his decision untilJune 30.
Even with the new penaltiessuspended, drivers with a bloodalcohol level over the legal limitcan be arrested and charged withdriving over .08 or impaired driv-ing and could be subject to a 90-day driving prohibition.
In addition to trying to trackdown impaired drivers, Feenansays officers are also on thelookout for other motor vehicleinfractions — like driving withoutvalid insurance or not wearing aseatbelt.
On this night, officers hand out15 tickets for violations, includingdriving without a licence and nothaving insurance, and six noticesfor defects to vehicles.
Social media has thrown a newelement into the war on drinkingand driving as some Twitter usershave been tweeting the locationsof roadblocks around the region.
Many who are doing it claim itwill also act as a deterrent to any-one thinking of getting behind the
wheel after a few drinks — if theyknow the roadblocks are out therethey will be more likely to findanother way home.
Feenan, however, sees things alittle differently.
“The roadblocks are here tokeep people safe,” he says. “That’snot helping us deter impaireddrivers.”
And while police are aware
some Twitter users are doing this,there’s little that can be done tostop the practice.
“We would ask the public notto do it.”
As this year’s holiday season,and the annual CounterAttackcampaign, winds down, officerswill still be out in force until Jan.1 looking to make sure everyonemakes it home safely.

The Delta police depart-ment is looking at offeringa new, high tech way ofreporting certain crimes.
The department is con-sidering creating an avenuefor residents to report lessserious crimes online.
If approved, the onlinereporting system wouldallow Delta residents toreport certain propertycrimes — such as lost orstolen property under$5,000, vandalism, theftfrom automobile under$5,000, automobile break-ins and identity theft— through the Delta policewebsite.
Crimes eligible to bereported online must not bein progress at the time ofreporting, have no suspectand not require immediatepolice attention.
Earlier this month, theDelta police board askedstaff to report back on theidea of online reportingafter hearing a presenta-tion from two SimonFraser University students
who have been workingwith the department sinceSeptember.
The two students, whoare completing criminologydegrees, were tasked withinvestigating online crimereporting.
“This is a really goodthing for us because wehave to look at a differentway of doing business,”chief Jim Cessford told theboard.
The students reportedthat 12 per cent of all callsthat came into the depart-ment in 2010 would havequalified to be reportedonline.
Several other policedepartments in the LowerMainland and other areas ofthe province have alreadyimplemented, or are con-sidering, an online crimereporting system.
The Vancouver policedepartment was the firstin the Lower Mainland toimplement online crimereporting and created itsown system, which it alsolends out to other depart-ments. Abbotsford alsooffers online reporting, but
uses software purchasedfrom Coplogic, a systemused extensively across theU.S. and in several policedepartments in Ontario andSaskatchewan. Victoriaborrowed the VPD systembut is now moving overto Coplogic, while SurreyRCMP is also looking atmoving to an online report-ing system.
The Delta police arelooking at several optionsfor implementing an onlinereporting system and therelated costs. Purchasingthe Coplogic system wouldcost $25,000 while borrow-ing the VPD software orusing an e-mail form wouldbe less costly. However,there is no maintenancesupport with the borrowedsoftware and using an e-mail system would limit thetypes of incidents that couldbe reported and withoutspecific instructions infor-mation could be missed.
Department staff is cur-rently looking at the prosand cons of the optionsand will report back to thepolice board at a futuremeeting.
Public might soon be ableto report crimes onlinePolice looking at new system for less serious crimes

Civic pushneeded onwaterfront
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
I’m still in that I’ll-believe-it-when-I-see-it stage, but it’s looking more andmore like redevelopment of the Ladnerwaterfront is beginning to take shape.
It’s been a long time coming —decades, actually — but I have to givethe good folks over at municipal hallcredit for following through on this lat-est attempt to revitalize what should be afocal point of Ladner Village.
Delta announced earlier this month ithad selected Quay Property Managementto submit a detailed proposal to rede-velop the civic-owned Seven Seas andBrackman-Ker properties into a marine-themed marketplace complete withstores, restaurants and more.
This project, should it come to frui-tion, has the potential to be a major cata-lyst in turning Ladner’s waterfront into adestination rather than an afterthought.And this wouldn’t have been possible —granted, we’re not there yet — without asignificant push from the municipality.
Delta had the foresight to use moneyprovided by the port to initially buy oneof the properties on Chisholm Street, andthen with more port funding, it acquiredthe other one next door.
The concept of using port money tofinance larger-scale projects, which hasalready brought us the Tsawwassen ArtsCentre and McKee Seniors’ RecreationCentre, has proven to be a sound oneand could pay more dividends in thisinstance.
After acquiring the sites, Delta thensolicited input on what should take shapeon them and followed that up by seekingproposals from potential developmentpartners. For whatever reason, privateinterests have, for the most part, over-looked the waterfront, so without thatprodding from municipal hall we wouldstill be waiting for something to happendown there.
It might have eventually taken place,but it’s not like developers didn’t haveample time to acquire holdings and bringforward proposals on their own.
I know some concerns have alreadybeen expressed in the community overbuilding heights and potential parkingspillover, so I recognize not everyoneis on the same page when it comes towhat’s best for the properties.
Hopefully those issues can be resolvedso an amenity can be developed that notonly acts as a drawing card for locals andvisitors alike, but also creates job andtaxes.
It would be even better if it were thefirst of several such projects that turnsthe once-moribund waterfront into theplace to be. We’re not there yet, but we’recloser than we’ve ever been.

It seemed like a great idea at thetime.
When our son was born, for hisfirst Christmas we got him a hugestocking. We had a lot of fun put-ting him in it and taking pictures. Iguess that’s just what new parentshave to do — it must be written ina handbook somewhere.
As he gained siblings, we had tomake sure they got the BIG stock-ing as well. Now you can hardlysee our mantle on Christmas Eveas these monster stockings cover it.Mine tends to get lost somewherearound the edge.
I didn’t think it was too muchof a problem, until I found a littlenote on Christmas morning:Dear Brad:
It’s time to rethink these stock-ings you have for your kids.
When they were young, I couldsee why you liked the big stock-
ings. Bet you weren’t thinkingabout them growing up much?
Back then, the presents theyasked for were no problem — Icould barely fit two gifts in thosethings.
They were probably more inter-ested in the box that held the toymore than the toy itself! Ho, ho,ho! I love that — all the work theelves go to and the kids are moreinterested in the packaging! Thatone doesn’t go over very well inthe workshop, let me tell you.
But that was more then 10 yearsago, and your children’s tastes havechanged — have you noticed that?They grew up, so you can’t fitthem into the stocking any more,can you?
The things they are asking forare getting smaller. A lot smaller.And much more complicated forthe elves to build. Have you everlooked at how much it takes tomake those sleeping bags you callstockings look full?
Next year, let’s make sure we aresetting a few expectations. First, abig bag of chips is an acceptablestocking stuffer. As is hot choco-late. (We’ll keep that Costco mem-bership for the time being, OK?)Second, leave a few newspapersbeside the cookies and milk so I
can bulk-up some of the gifts theyare asking for. You’ll be recyclingthe papers anyway, let’s get someextra entertainment value out ofthem. Finally, one day you’ll begrandparents — don’t even thinkabout buying the grandkids oneof these things. One generation isenough.
Let’s not let gifts and stockingsget in the way of what’s reallyimportant this time of year. Giftscome and go, so enjoy what youhave, and remember that othersmight not be as lucky. The best giftis helping someone who could usea hand. It may not fill that cavernof a stocking, but it will fill some-one else’s life.
I’ll be by next year. Can youleave out some more Rice Krispiesquares? Dasher loves those.
Ho Ho Ho!Santa Claus
As we approach a new year, withall that we have going on aroundus here and around the world, takea moment to be grateful for whatyou have in your life, and not dwellon what others may have. Family,friends and living in the best placeon earth is much better than any-thing that fills up a stocking. Evena huge one.
All the best for 2012!
As kids get older, it’s time torethink Christmas tradition

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Over the past 25
years while living inTsawwassen, I have seen alot of road kill on Highway17. The saddest sight was asquashed mother duck nextto the median, surroundedby a bunch of chicks notknowing what to do next.
Some effort was madeduring construction of theVancouver to Whistler Seato Sky Highway to directwildlife to culverts under
the highway, allowingthem to cross unharmed.The South FraserPerimeter Road shouldreceive the same attention.
At this point, there isstill time to do some-thing on the South FraserPerimeter Road, so I wouldlike to bring this possibil-ity to government’s atten-tion as this new highway isgoing to cut across a largesection of Delta.

Editor:Re: Delta stymied on
smart meters, Dec. 2Who says radiation from
smart meters and otherwireless devices is danger-ous?
This year, the WorldHealth Organization reclas-sified radio frequencyelectromagnetic fields as aClass 2B possible humancarcinogen. Studies showchildren absorb at least
twice as much radiation asadults, and Health Canadarecently issued advice toreduce children’s RF expo-sure.
Look up “InternationalExperts’ Perspective onthe Health Effects ofElectromagnetic Fields(EMF) and ElectromagneticRadiation (EMR)” orresearch the Citizens forSafe Technology websitefor some conclusions from
doctors and other scientificexperts worldwide on theevidence of biological andhealth effects of EMR.
People are free to ignorethe evidence and embraceas harmless our ever-increasing exposure to wire-less radiation, but the factremains that individualshave already had to revertto an analog meter becauseradiation from their smartmeter made them sick.
Scientists know EMReffects are cumulativeand more DNA damageis caused by pulsed ratherthan continuous signals, sothe wireless smart metersare particularly harmful toour cells.
The question is notwhether it is dangerous,rather how much wirelessradiation exposure are wewilling (or able) to take.

Editor:Re: Government in denial
over global warming, letterto the editor, Dec. 16
In walking away fromthe Kyoto Protocol, Canadarecognized it was neverabout the environment.Instead, it was a concerted,bare-faced global “Occupy”movement to redistributewealth from the rich Westto the developing poor.
The world climate sum-mit in Durban managed,albeit only temporarily,to pull us back from theprecipice of plunging head-long into cutting off oureconomic noses to spite ourglobally warming faces.
Meanwhile, a global ver-sion of “Robin Hood” isnow pitting poor nationsagainst rich, with the devel-oping world insisting onbeing “equalized” into aposition of being able tohave their 12-digit “climatefund” cake and eat it too,courtesy of the evil capital-ist West.
“Robin Hood” foreignaid programs have demon-strated the incredible wasteof transferring giant chunksof economic wealth fromthe industrialized West tothe bottomless holes of theThird World without work-able verification.

Dear 2012:Welcome! OK, so I
know you won’t be here foranother four days, but youhave to understand a coupleof things, sweetheart. First,I’m the kind of person wholikes to get a bit of a jumpon things. Andsecond, wedon’t publishon Sundays.
But as Iwas saying:welcome!Calendarseverywherehave been heralding yourarrival. Mine isn’t up yet,but I have it close at hand.It has pretty pictures, likeall the calendars of yourpredecessors — and therehave been a handful — butit also has other things incommon. January, I’venoted, will continue to have31 days, and April, one dayless.
But February? Man,you’re special, sweet 2012.You’ll have 29 days.
As you may or may notknow — and likely you do— this isn’t something thathappens every year.
Only once in a while dowe calendar-watchers spotan extra day.
This means a lot to us,dear 2012. I may be boringyou by telling you this, butmost of us are hard-workingnine-to-fivers. We multi-task — if you know whatthat means. We drink our
coffees on the bus on theway to work, and write ourto-do lists on the way home.We can’t live without ouralarm clocks, not to men-tion our to-go mugs.
An extra day is nice.This year it falls on a
Wednesday. But, of course,you knew that, didn’t you,2012?
That’s all well and good— I guess. However, here’sthe thing, 2012: giventhat this extra day is aWednesday, we nine-to-fiv-
ers aren’tlikely tosee much,if any,change.What’s thepoint ofan extraday, if it’s a
Wednesday like any other?I humbly propose this,
2012. Let’s call it somethingelse. Let’s call it Bonusday.Or Plusday. Or Ekstruhday.
Or Leapday.It would be a day like
none other. Not a day toride the bus. And nor aday to do the shopping, theironing or the ferrying ofthe kids to dance class.
On my Ekstruhday, I’drather like to do somethingI don’t normally do on aWednesday or a Saturday.Oh, I might just sit andlook out the window. Ordo Sudoku puzzles for fourhours straight. Or look atall the pictures of my babieswhen they were one andthree.
C’mon, 2012, you dear,sweet year, let’s rename thatextra day.
Otherwise, you’re run ofthe mill — like that boringold 2011.
No sense gettingextra day unlessit’s special one

“These young men have liter-ally grown up playing hockey inSouth Delta,” said tournamentorganizer Theresa Watts. “Wehave one of our largest group ofGrade 12 players currently play-ing Midget ‘C’ hockey, there are26 in total. It tells you that clear-ly South Delta Minor Hockey isdoing something right to keepso many boys still enjoying thesport of hockey at this stage ofthe game.”
There will be more than localbragging rights on the line thisweek as the four division winnerswill go on to represent SDMHAin the annual Delta Cup competi-
tion which is a one game playoffagainst the North Delta MinorHockey Association champions.
On top of great hockey action,the teams will also be taking partin the “Hockey for Hunger” fooddrive. The winner of that com-petition is always the Delta FoodBank.
Over the past eight years,Party In Da House has beenable to donate well over 10,000
pounds of food. “It’s a greatexample of teaching young ath-letes how to give back to a com-munity that has given them somuch,” said Watts.
In addition to the “Hockey forHunger” food drive, the tourna-ment also makes a donation toCanuck Place with its proceeds.
The money is generatedthrough a massive basket raffle,with over 60 items donated this
year.Among the many businesses
to step up to ensure Party In DaHouse is such a huge successis Firstar Sports PerformanceApparel.
The fast growing company,which got its start in Delta, nowhas a stable of high-profile ath-letes wearing its gear includingVancouver Canucks star RyanKelser, Toronto Maple Leafs
goaltender Jason Reimer and B.C.Lions Grey Cup MVP quarter-back Travis Lulay. Still, Firstaralso remains active in support-ing amateur athletics in its owncommunity and is once again themain sponsor of the Party In DaHouse Tournament.
If you have some free time overthe next few days, come on out tothe local arenas and get caught upin the Party In Da House spirit.
