Delta council gave prelimi-nary approval Monday to a 3.5per cent property tax increasefor 2016.
In a presentation to council,municipal finance director KarlPreuss explained the increasewill mean a $75 hike on theproperty tax bill for the aver-age home in Delta that had anassessed value of $650,000 lastyear.
Preussnoted theincreaseis “in line”with otherMetroVancouvermunici-palities inthat it’s thethe mid-range of those otherincreases.
Meanwhile, the utility bill,which covers water, sewer, solidwaste and recycling services,will rise $18 this year to an even$1,000. Preuss said Delta still hasone of the lowest flat rate utilityfees for a single-family home inMetro Vancouver.
The 2016 metered water ratesare proposed to increase at asimilar extent as the flat waterfees.
Preuss said when property taxand utility bills are combined,the average home will see anoverall increase of $93, or threeper cent more than 2015.
His report to council notesthat in 2017 to 2020, propertytaxes are projected to increaseby less than three per cent andflat utility fees for single-familyhomes are expected to rise byabout $35 each year.

Delta is open for business.That was the message deliv-
ered by Mayor Lois Jackson ather annual Mayor’s EconomicBreakfast at Tsawwassen Springslast Friday. A receptive audi-ence of around 200, includingbusiness leaders, politicians andrepresentatives from a varietyof groups, attended the eventto hear about Delta’s economicincentives and how the commu-
nity is ideally situated for invest-ment.
They heard an enthusiasticspeech from Jackson as well asseveral guest speakers who reit-erated her message about Delta’spositive climate for business.
“We are not standing idle, norare we standing on our laurels.We are in motion, we are grow-ing. We are evolving and we arecommitted. We are looking fornew innovation and new ideasfor doing business with you,”Jackson said.
The six-termmayor citedseveral projects, including the37-storey Delta Rise condodevelopment in North Delta andeconomic incentives to encour-age environmental remediationand commercial/industrialdevelopment of former landfillsites.
Other areas targeted forincentives include the Ladnerwaterfront as well as the ScottRoad and 72nd Avenue corri-dors. Delta is also embarking ona business sustainability strategy
and has established a mayor’sstanding committee to see itthrough.
Jackson also talked aboutDelta’s “pay as you go” fiscalpolicy that will result in themunicipality being debt-free in acouple of years.
The veteran civic politiciansaid Delta faces challenges,which is why it’s important to beproactive in areas like Terminal2 and the George Massey TunnelReplacement Project.ECONOMY: see Page 4

It is difficult for the twoSyrian refugee familiesthat settled in Ladner justthree weeks ago to explainhow thankful they are tobe here.
“They are really happyand really thankful to theCanadian government,”they say through translatorLokman Alshlbi.
Alshlbi, who came toCanada from Libya andnow lives in Delta, hasvolunteered to provideinterpreter services for thefamilies as they settle intotheir new lives in Canada.
Before unrest turned toa civil war in 2011, life washappy for the Al Nuaimiand Al Mohammad fami-lies. They felt safe wherethey lived in Daraa, whichis in the southern portionof the country. They wentto work, the children wentto school and played. Lifewas normal.
However, things beganto change in 2011 whenpro-democracy protestserupted after teens whopainted revolutionary slo-gans on a school wall werearrested and tortured. The
unrest descended into civilwar as opposition sup-porters began taking uparms and fighting back inan effort to expel securityforces.
At first, life wenton as normal and thefamilies felt relativelysafe, but as the fight-ing intensified, MansourAl Nuaimi and his wifeEnsaf, and Mansour’scousin Mohammad AlMohammad and his wifeNour, who had been in theUnited Arab Emirates forwork at the time, decidedit was time to flee for thesafety of their families.
Mansour and Ensafhave five children,Mohammad, 23, Hussien,14, Abdulrazaq, 11,Sondos, 6, and Aya, 3,while Mohammad andNour have four, 12-year-old Hamza, Moutasen, 10,Maram, 8, and three-year-old Laith.
Leaving work, friendsand family, they fled toneighbouring Jordan andtook shelter at a refugeecamp that would becomehome for the next threeyears.
While safe from theconflict in Syria, living in
the refugee camp was “likehell.” They lived in tentsyear round through stiflinghot summers and cold,snowy winters. There werea limited number of bath-rooms for thousands ofpeople and no showers.
Last fall, they got wordthat Canada was accept-ing 25,000 refugees. Theyapplied and things startedmoving quickly. Withina couple weeks, theyreceived word they hadbeen approved and a fewweeks later they were on aplane to Vancouver, arriv-ing on Christmas Day.
They spent two weeksat Welcome House inVancouver, which is runby the Immigrant ServicesSociety of B.C., beforemoving to Ladner at thebeginning of January.
Mohammad said hehas already decided thisis where he would liketo stay. They have feltwelcomed by residentsand feel safe in the com-munity. On their first daysin Ladner, Delta police
officers visited thefamilies to welcomethem, explain therole of police andhow to use 911in the event of anemergency.
After a coupleweeks spent set-tling in to their newhomes, the childrenstarted school lastweek. The younger
ones were nervous at first,their parents said, butby the end of the weekthey were happy, smilingand playing; 14-year-oldHussien was excited tostart high school.
Mohammad and Nour,along with Mansour, Ensafand their son Mohammad,23, were all set and eagerto start English classes thisweek.
They have high hopesfor their new lives inCanada. Once he learnsEnglish, the youngerMohammad would like
to start university. He hasan interest in journalismand law. Mansour andMohammad would like tofind work similar to whatthey were doing beforethe war. Mansour workedas a driver while hiscousin designed decora-tive cement elements andpainted homes.
Nour hopes to find workas a hairdresser. Ensafsaid she is unsure whatshe wants to do, but sheis known for her bakingabilities.
As Delta Safe Havenhelps the two families set-tle into life in Canada, it isalso getting ready to wel-come a third Syrian familyto Ladner. Rev. Jim Shortsaid the group expects tosee the family arrive in thenext couple of weeks.
“We’ve learned a lotthrough the initial pro-cess,” said Delta SafeHaven member Coun.Sylvia Bishop.
She said that the com-munity has been generousso far with many financialand in-kind donations aswell as volunteers. Shesaid the group welcomesadditional financial contri-butions.

CONTINUED from Page 1Delta Liberal MP Carla
Qualtrough, who made anumber of public appear-ances over the past week,also addressed the audi-ence, saying “Delta hitsabove its weight class”when it comes to its con-tribution to the Canadianeconomy and role in beinga gateway for internationaltrade.
She said Delta should“get a fair share” of infra-structure funding that willbe made available by hernew government.
Delta North MLA ScottHamilton congratulatedJackson on her economicinitiatives, adding his gov-ernment is about to deliveranother balanced budget.
Dayhu Group ofCompanies president PaulTilbury talked at lengthabout the attributes of hismassive Boundary BayIndustrial Park warehousedistribution space builtnext to the Boundary BayAirport.
He also the mentionedpositives Delta has to offer,including a municipalgovernment that’s accom-modating. He said Delta
is open for business and“there is a get it done, notat any cost, but get it doneapproach.”
Shato Holdings presi-dent Ron Toigo, ownerof Tsawwassen Springs,told the audi-ence Delta hadbecome “a nogrowth com-munity” whenJackson took thehelm in 1999,but she assem-bled a goodteam, includingCAO GeorgeHarvie, to devel-op “win-win”development policies.
He said he knows first-hand what the Southlandsdevelopment applicationand public hearing waslike for Century Grouppresident Sean Hodgins,who was also in attend-ance, adding Delta gavetheir development appli-cations a fair chance and isopen to new ideas.
Noting a new bridgeis more than just aboutcars, as it’s also abouttransit and cycling,George Massey TunnelReplacement Project
director Geoff Freer spokebriefly about the provincialbridge project, saying themajority of people duringconsultations conveyedthey didn’t want anothertunnel.
Harvie wasthe final speakerbefore a few ques-tions were takenfrom the audi-ence. He saidthe Southlandsdevelopmentvision was aheadof its time, but thatvision has becomesomething peoplewant now. He said
council’s final approval isexpected mid-2016 andthen initial site works cancommence.
Harvie also talked aboutthe new bridge, noting“it’s not supported by themayors north of the FraserRiver because they wantthe money for themselves.”He added “any kind ofseismic problem” couldruin the current tunnel,something that would bedevastating for commutersfor five to seven years untila replacement crossingwas built.

While most B.C. drivers are honestwhen it comes to making insuranceclaims, there are a few that arehurting things for the rest of us inthe province.
Industry studies estimate that about10 to 20 per cent of all insuranceclaims contain an element of fraudor exaggeration. Applying thoseestimates here means fraud iscosting us up to $600 million peryear, or more than $100 annually onevery auto insurance policy.Fraud cheats everyone and comes inall shapes and sizes.
Some fraud is organized andorchestrated by a group of individuals,namely, staged accidents and stolenvehicle rings.
Other types of fraud are lessobvious. Fraud like this includesexaggerating the extent of an injury,misrepresenting a previous medicalcondition or slanting the situationwhen reporting a claim. It�s notunheard of for people to embellish
their claim by including vehicledamage unrelated to the crash, or toclaim they can�t work when they�reactually back on the job. These tacticsmay not make the news, but the costsadd up and come out of all of ourpockets � we all end up paying forthose who cheat the system.
ICBC combats fraud with their SpecialInvestigation Unit, which last yearlooked at more than 5,000 claimsHles. This includes a cyber unitthat employs information publiclyavailable on the internet and socialmedia to investigate suspectedfraudulent claims. They�re in theprocess of increasing their focus oninvestigations, including trainingand analytics technology that Gagspatterns and predictors of fraud.
By stepping up efforts to reducefraudulent and exaggerated claims,along with managing injury claimscosts, ICBC is working to takepressure off rising insurance rates.
Fraud. It cheats us all.

Fundraising efforts con-tinue as the communityrallies around a local farmfollowing a devastatingbarn fire last week.
Fire crews were called toLoranda Stables and KittyKottage on 28th Avenue inLadner just before 11:30p.m. Wednesday. Whenfirefighters arrived, thebuilding was already fullyengulfed in flames. Noone was hurt in the blazeand all the horses and catshoused in the barn were
safely evacuated.An online fundraising
campaign was quicklystarted and has nowraised more $15,600 in justfive days to help ownerMicaela Robinson rebuild.It can be found at www.gofundme.com/8fjv8zsc.
A second fundraiserwas started this week tohelp residents on oneof the adjacent proper-ties. The fire cut powerto Pathfinder Pet Care,a home-based business,
which has been left with-out heat or electricity.
According to anupdate on the business’sFacebook page, electri-cians are working to hookthings up but as of 10:30p.m. Monday, power stillhad not been restored andthe family is left using gen-erators to power electricheaters and some lights,which is costing $240 aday in gas. The page islooking to raise money tohelp cover the cost of gas.
Any unused funds will bepassed along to LorandaStables to help rebuild thebarn.
A bottle and tack drivefor Loranda Farms hasbeen organized for thisweekend. Donations arebeing accepted at LadnerBaptist Church between1:30 and 3:30 p.m. onSunday.

There’s public sup-port to build a bridge toreplace the George MasseyTunnel, but paying fortransit improvements isanother matter.
That’s according to apoll released last week byInsights West, which foundhalf of Metro Vancouver
residents surveyed (51per cent) support thereplacement project, whileone-third (32 per cent) areopposed and 17 per centare not sure.
As far as paying for tran-sit improvements, aroundtwo-thirds of those sur-veyed voiced opposition toincreasing property taxes(71 per cent), hiking fueltaxes (also 71 per cent),
tolling roads (66 per cent)and increasing transit fares(65 per cent). The level ofopposition is lower, butstill significant, when itcomes to implementing avehicle levy (60 per cent)or a levy based on the dis-tance travelled by a vehi-cle in the past year (also60 per cent) and tollingbridges (51 per cent).
The poll also foundMetro Vancouverites whodrive to school or workare more likely to supportincreasing transit faresthan those who take publictransit. Conversely, pub-lic transit users are morelikely to endorse a vehiclelevy.
“Despite supportingthe Massey replace-ment proposal, MetroVancouverites do notappear ready at this pointto embrace tolls, levies orhigher taxes to fund tran-sit projects,” said MarioCanseco, vice-presidentof public affairs at InsightsWest. “It is also evidentthat, for some residents,the preferred solution liesin making the other grouppay more, be it drivers ortransit users.”
Mayor Lois Jacksonrecently told theOptimistany form of tolling orroad pricing must be fairfor people living south ofthe Fraser River who arealready underserved bytransit.
“It’s got to be fair toeverybody and I’m veryconcerned that peoplelike us out here in thesuburbs, we’re alreadypaying through the hydro,through our gas tax,through our property tax
and so on, are they goingto be putting another taxon us if we are not going tobe getting any additionalservice?” she asked. “I findthat unfair and really hopethey look at this road pric-ing, congestion tax, tolling,whatever that is, to makesure it’s not just anothertax grab.”
The Mayors’ Council onRegional Transportationlast fall voted to get a staffreport on how to advance“mobility pricing.” Peter
Fassbender, the ministerresponsible for TransLink,said although it shouldbe considered, it wouldnot be allowed unless themayors get permissionfrom voters in anotherplebiscite.
A report last Novemberby Canada’s EcofiscalCommission suggestedmore spans in MetroVancouver be tolled toease driving congestionand encourage drivers touse public transit.
Poll findspublicsupportfornewbridgeRespondents not as keen to pay for transit improvements as all funding sources opposed

Watching the SuperBowl when it doesn’tinclude your team is ratherlike going to a baby show-er when you don’t knowthe mother-to-be.
It’s kind of like joining ascience fiction book clubwhen you much prefer aromance read, or decid-ing to scale a mountainwhen you’re really afraidof heights.
It makes no sense, andit would be tough to getengaged.
My team, alas, won’t bein the great big bowl thisyear. They won’t even beon sidelines, or even in thelocker room, or even inthe stadium. They will bewhere all non-bowl teamswill be — at home, in alllikelihood, probably intheir pyjamas and slippers.Rather than playing in thebowl, they’ll be filling theirbowl with popcorn.
Odds are, they’ll watch.Us? Completely unde-
cided. Completely still inshock, really, that our boyshave hung up their shoul-der pads for the season.
“Should we take in thegame?” asked the hus-band. “Maybe at the pub?”
“While wearing ourteam apparel?” I said.“That would be prettyweird.”
Fact is, we wear ourteam apparel, well, prettymuch 24/7. We wear ourteam apparel to the gro-cery store, to the movietheatre, even to bed. Wewear our team apparelflip-flops in the summer,and carry our team appar-el umbrellas when we gofor a walk in the rain.
But it might be a tad,um, unorthodox to wearour team apparel to theSuper Bowl game whenour team’s not on the field.
“Haven’t your heard?”some bozo might ask.“Your favourite team
didn’t make it.”Then, of course, there
would be the questionof how to behave in thepub, come Sunday. Wewouldn’t be able to bringourselves to cheer foreither of the teams— thatwould be out of the ques-tion.
The best we could do, Isuppose, would be to getbehind whichever teamis playing the one we hatethe most — but in the qui-etest of ways.
No high-five-ing. No fistpumping. No jumping upand down.
Just the odd supportivewhisper.
Still, the husband and Iagree, even that would feelmighty disloyal — to doanything that resemblescheering of any sort for ateam other than ours. Evenif it was a subtle as a nod.
No, the plan this Sundayis becoming increasinglyclear. We’ll put on ourteam jerseys and teamsocks and team hats andteam scarves and grabthe team football. We’llhead to the park to toss itaround, and steer clear ofthe pub entirely.

Ididn’t hold out much hope thatrapid transit would make its wayout here anytime soon, but theway it’s being glossed over duringdiscussions about a new bridge is
downright discouraging.The 10-lane crossing to replace the
George Massey Tunnel will be built,according to the project’s website,with space for potential rapid transitin the longer term, which is a nice wayof saying that rubber on asphalt is theonly way you’re going to get across theFraser River in the foreseeable future.
I recognize that it could well be ask-ing too much to think we’d get a newbridge and rapid transit all at the sametime, but the fact we’re getting onewhile there’s only a vague reference tothe other is troubling given this is allabout moving people in the 21st cen-tury.
An elevated train, a favourite of thosein Victoria, is obviously a non-starterhere given its prohibitive cost and ourpopulation density, but it’s discourag-ing that the much more affordable lightrail isn’t even part of the conversationas we move forward on replacing thetunnel. How far into this century dowe have to get before we give this issuemore than lip service?
If it were only the communities ofLadner and Tsawwassen out here Icould see the reluctance to buck up forrapid transit, but given we’re also hometo the busiest ferry terminal in theregion— there were almost five millionpassengers on the Tsawwassen-SwartzBay run alone last year — and will seea pair of mega malls open this fall atthe Tsawwassen First Nation, there’s agrowing need to move people in andout of here. That doesn’t even take intoaccount rising traffic volumes from theport.
I’m certainly not a transit planner,but the wide corridors of Highway 99and Highway 17/17A would appear tomake it far easier, and far less expen-sive, to build a rail line than construct-ing an elevated guideway along No. 3Road or a subway underneath CambieStreet. The river crossing would be themost problematic part of a journeyfrom Bridgeport station to the ferryterminal, but if the new bridge canaccommodate rapid transit, then we’relaughing.
Unfortunately, given the limitedvision of our political leaders, it doesn’tappear there will be much laughter inour future.
Notraininsight
Idon’t know about you, butas I age into my 70s, I amrealizing my ability to travelcomfortably is diminishing.I no longer want to do the
long-haul flights over the oceansand have limited my destinationsto a maximum of five hours in theair. I love the trains but they don’taccept pets.
On my recent trip to California,I had my dog-child, Oliver Twist,with me. To clear customs I hadto remove him from his kenneland carry him through the metaldetector. I forewarned them ofmy metal knee and even pulledup my pant-leg to show themmyfoot-long scar, hoping this wouldbe proof I wasn’t lying and beable to avoid the inevitable. Notso.
As I walked through themachine in bare feet, with Oliverin arms, I beeped right on cue.Suddenly there was a lot of activ-ity as they shouted that I alarmed.I was told to stand right therebeside the beeper and wait for afemale to pat me down, which isjust a polite way of saying feel-me-up.
As others traversed themachine I waited. At one point Iwanted to put Oliver back in hiskennel, which had successfullygone through its ownmachine.Nope, I wasn’t allowed to moveand had to wait for the “female.”There were a lot of females there
but apparently they weren’ttrained for pat-downs. I offered toteach them, but still I had to wait.
A good 10 minutes passed andI expressed concern about mak-ing my flight. Eventually a large,officious woman arrived whoslowly put on her latex gloves andproceeded to pat me up, down,under and in-between, right therein front of all passing by. On thistrip I had two flights each way, sothis same procedure took placefour times. Sheesh!
I believe the tourism industryis missing the boat on servingsingle seniors. Most travel offerssuch as cruises, all-inclusives andvacation packages are based ondouble-occupancy. If there is asingles-supplement, it is way tooexpensive.
As the boomers move intoretirement, I hope they willchange this bias as around one in
three seniors live alone and manyhave a pet.
I have been researching waysof travelling without breaking thebank and came across a won-derful website on Boondockingand Shunpiking. This is thepopular pastime of retirees trav-elling around in their campers,Winnebagos and vans. They oftenovernight it in Walmart parkinglots to socialize or to feel safewhile on route to their destina-tions. Yes, Walmart provides thisservice.
Shunpiking is exploring thebackroads in your camper-van.The term comes from “shunningthe turnpikes” or large super-highways where you can go fastbut see nothing. Check out thisfun blog at www.frugal-rv-travel.com.
My future list of travel-wantsincludes renting a small campervan to do some Shunpiking withOliver Twist. I would also likemore single-supplement rates forbudget-oriented travel and grouptours, and more pet-friendlyofferings and small dog parks fordogs under 25 pounds. Hmmm,something for an enterprisingperson to think about.ML Burke retired from the

Editor:Drivers of Tsawwassen
need to pay more atten-tion, especially in the earlymornings when it comesto pedestrians crossing atmarked crosswalks.
I frequent the busstop at 16th Avenue and56th Street every singlemorning to go to work. Iwear flashing reflectorson my jacket and one onmy purse. I have almostbeen hit more times thanI can count because peo-ple turning left off 16thAvenue do not pay atten-tion and when they realizethat someone is crossingthe street, they glare at youlike it’s your fault.
Last week alone the
same lady almost hit metwo days in a row anddidn’t seem to care.
People seem to be insuch a hurry these daysand plow through theintersections because theyneed to get their morningcoffee. The Corporation ofDelta needs to do some-thing about this and eitherhave crosswalks lit up withthe flashing lights on theground or the ones thatlight up above the streetlights. Maybe that will getthe attention of drivers.
In December therewas the fatality at 12thAvenue and my cousin’sgrandmother got hit whilecrossing near Starbucksand spent a fewmonths in
the hospital, all becausethe driver was not pay-ing attention to what theywere doing.
People need to slowdown and take cautionwhen it comes to intersec-tions and crosswalks. Yes,it’s a good idea to wearbright clothing and/orinvest in flashing reflectorlights, but it seems thosedon’t even help. It stillhappens in summer whenit’s bright and sunny out.
I guess I’ll have to investin a reflective vest and/orneon body paint because Idon’t want to have to fearcrossing the street becausesomeone is not watchingwhat they are doing.

Editor:Re: MP embarks on new
agenda, Jan. 22Is it the real change?It is a second article
in the Optimist quot-ing new Delta MP CarlaQualtrough that gives menothing to believe thatpromised changes arecoming.
It’s just a lot of emptywords and insignificantpromises to the interestgroups of people like thosewith disabilities and inter-ested in sports.
How about the generalpopulation? How aboutreal and concrete changesbenefiting us all?
The big issue right now
is a bridge replacing theGeorge Massey Tunnel.Is it a real change? A pro-gress? No, it is not.
It is a locally patchedtraffic jam problemneglected for a long time.The real progress would beto construct a bridge withsix instead of 10 lanes toreplace the tunnel or twinthe tunnel and build onemore bridge over northarm of the Fraser Riverthat would land some-where close to BoundaryRoad.
Real change can comeno sooner than any gov-ernment starts real open-ness and truth about gov-ernance costs. Not before
cutting significantly itsown operational budget.Not before justifying itsown wages, bonuses, ben-efits, severances and lifepensions for as little as afew years of the service.
Not before grabbing thereins to control the bigboys’ ridiculous salaries(Crown corporations) andthe costs of big projects.Not before taking hardlook at themselves andjustifying decisions made.
And certainly not beforeadmitting that citizens canhandle absolutely no moretaxes.
That would be a realchange. Am I dreaming?

Editor:Re: Former occupant
appeals for home’s preser-vation, letter to the editor,
Jan. 27If what I am reading in
the letters to the editor iscorrect, I am so frustrated.Again we have an issue ofheritage preservation andagain it seems there is nowill on the part of Delta topreserve with hand and
heart, as our motto soclearly states.
I have been a resident ofDelta for over 40 years andsad to say we have lost agreat deal of what broughtus here in the first place. Iam aware the Harris Barnwas moved and restoredand that lots of moneyis being spent to fix thecracks in the sidewalk inLadner.
And now we have thisproperty that I have drivenby hundreds of times, andit seems there are no plansin the works to try andsave it.
It takes a lot to make mecomplain, but please let’sdo something positive thatwould make us all feel bet-ter about the communitywe live in.

Editor:I would like to take a
moment to complimentall staff and lifeguardson duty last Wednesdaymorning for their pro-fessionalism during themedical emergency at theLadner Leisure Centre.
I was attending an exer-cise class in the pool atthe time, which had to be
completely evacuated asall lifeguards were neededat the emergency. Thiswas done quickly withoutadding stress or anxietyto any of the patrons fromthe pool.
After the paramed-ics arrived and we wereallowed back in the pool,we were all thanked forour understanding and
cooperation.All I can add is that if
it were me that requiredthe medical assistance,I would want the sameservice I witnessed duringthis emergency. It rein-forced how well lookedafter at all times we are,which may be taken forgranted on a daily basis.

Early birds to the 11th annualGiant Book Sale last week atKinVillage Community Centrein Tsawwassen were able tochoose frommore than 11,800titles. The sale’s success, gross-ingmore than $11,000, is due notonly to the generous donation ofgood quality books by the com-munity, but also to the effortsof volunteers. For four weeks,Judith Dinwoodie and a team of adozen volunteers sorted throughall the books, CDs, DVDs, gamesand puzzles, and guided buyersthrough the collection duringthe three-day sale. Molly Hewittcoordinated shifts of 24 volun-teers that acted as packers andcashiers. Proceeds from the salewill be put toward the purchaseof a new bus for KinVillage resi-dents.
Over 12,000 villagersthroughout northern Laossuffering from unneces-sary illnesses caused bywater borne bacteria havebeen reached and are nowhealthier with the distri-bution of almost 2,500water filters through theRotary-led Adopt-A-Villageprogram.
A team of six, includ-ing two Delta Rotariansand their family mem-bers, have just returnedfrom the latest visit to the
region, which is still suf-fering some of the impactof the VietnamWar. Waterand sanitation is one ofthe six major priority areasfor Rotary around theworld.
Rotary Club of Ladnermembers Mike Storey,with wife Kathy, and DianaCabott, with daughterTamara, returned homelast week from their mis-sion to Laos with theAdopt-A-Village program,founded and administered
by Ontario Rotary memberSteve Rutledge.
Winding their way byminivan into the high-lands, across streams andrivers, some by boat, evena 90-minute trek by tractor,which sometimes requireda push, the six-personteam suffered welts,bruises and sore musclesin reaching villages.
“The path was so badI am surprised that eventhe tractor got throughthe deep ruts and rivers,”
Rutledge said. “But wemanaged to deliver waterfilters to villages on a wait-ing list of villages wheremany people have beendrinking bad water leadingto serious illnesses, oftenamong the children. Everyvillage we go to respondsthe same way when we askif they have had diarrhearecently: a unanimousshow of hands.”
Despite what the teamhad endured to deliver thewater filters, there had notbeen a single complaint,added Rutledge.
“I really couldn’t havedone this without their
terrific help in terms ofphysical labour and fund-raising.”
The program runs ondonations of $100 per
water filter and otherfunding. For more infor-mation, visit http://AdoptaVillageinLaos.wordpress.com.

DOUG NELSONOptimist contr ibutor
When stock marketsstart sliding and fearbecomes the overwhelm-ing emotion driving inves-tor sentiment, it’s almostimpossible not to want todo something — anything.But should you?
I’m anything but along-term “buy-and-hold”strategist, so, yes, there aretimes when you need todo something. But thosetimes typically are notwhen the market is gyrat-ing by hundreds of pointsa day.
Here’s my take on therecent market roller coast-er, and some practicalguidance on dealing withmarket volatility:
Markets fluctuate formany reasons. Sometimes,the market needs to cor-rect so that a new growthcycle can begin. Thiswould be the normal ebband flow of a market overtime. In other cases, mar-kets fluctuate because ofcompounding fears. Thesefears may come from thebelief the economy is notgrowing as fast as the stockmarket is, and thus theselling begins.
The selling continueswhen stop-loss orders aretriggered or when quan-titative or algorithmicformulas are triggered,inducing additional sell-ing. Sometimes margincalls occur for those inves-tors using borrowed funds.To put the current accountback into an appropriatestatus, good stocks areoften sold alongside thedecliners.
This compoundedselling often results insignificant market lossesover short periods of time,much like what we expe-rienced during January.These periods typically arefueled by the fear that sell-ing will last longer, result-ing in even more capitalloss.
So what is an investorto do during periods likethis? Do you sell? Do youbuy more? Do you hold?Do you start looking for asecond job?
There are many opin-ions on this topic, becausethere are also many risks.If you don’t sell, andthe market continues todecline, then you run therisk of seeing 10 per centto 30 per cent or more ofyour portfolio decline. Ifyou do sell, and the mar-
ket quickly rebounds, thenyou’re now worse off thanif you had done nothing atall. Either way, the emo-tions that go along withthese decisions are con-siderable. In a way, youare damned if you do anddamned if you don’t.
What to doThe following points are
my opinion as a registeredportfolio manager. I needto make these types ofdecisions on a daily basison behalf of my clients,and so what follows arethe things I think about.This is also a very con-troversial subject wheredifferent people have verydifferent — and strong—opinions.
Therefore, it is likely youwill look at some of thepoints I mention belowand think they are a littlecrazy.
But before you judge,here’s the main point Iwish to share with you:Every strategy has itsstrengths, weaknesses,faults and benefits. Butwhat is the right strategyfor you, based on yourunique circumstances, atthis stage in your life? Doyou have a strategy or areyou simply responding toeach change in the mar-ket?
Three questions to ask1. What’s the down-
side risk? I ask this withevery security I own, orthat I consider owning. To
measure this risk, I like touse many of the commontools of technical analysis.These help me determinewhat I believe is the down-side risk, so that I can thendo side-by-side compari-sons between each of thesecurities I own.
It also helps me deter-mine the downside risksof the overall market orof specific sectors of theeconomy. If the downsiderisk is considerable, thenI may consider a sell strat-egy that trims a positionover time, so that I protectprofit and keep my assetmix appropriately bal-anced.
2. How do the securi-ties in my portfolio worktogether?Where are therisks in my portfolio? Ingeneral, it is my preferenceto equal weight similarsecurities with similar riskprofiles in my client port-folios. If one security hasdone very well and is nowout of balance with theother similar securities,then I may consider takingprofit on this security andtrimming back my posi-tion to a normal weight.
I would also typicallymonitor over time the“correlation” of differentsecurities in my portfolio.For example, this past yearwe sawmany days whenhalf the market was risingwhile the other half wasfalling. On alternate days,we would then see the
opposite. If I see that allof my securities are risingtogether, then I may wishto rebalance the portfolioso I had a better diversifi-cation between differencesecurities.
Over time this wouldtypically produce a port-folio with lower volatilityand a reasonable, mod-est return. This approachhelps me determine theoverall risk profile of theportfolio, which then helpsme determine if I shouldbe concerned about theshort-term volatility of themarket.
3. What if I amwrong?Before I process a sellorder, I consider this all-too-important question.What if I sell and the mar-ket rebounds? What if I sellonly half and the marketcontinues to decline?What would be the impacton the portfolio returns?If I am comfortable withthese various outcomes,then I feel confident thesell order is a reasonableapproach to take.
In most cases, in myexperience, the best
approach is to enter newpositions gradually andexit current positions grad-ually. This helps to reducethe negative impact if youare wrong.
I could add furtherdetail to these and otherpoints, but the bottomline is that it is extremelyimportant you have adisciplined buy and sellstrategy.
Selling when fear domi-nates the market is typi-cally not a good strategy.Instead, before fear hitsthe market, you shouldalready be measuringthe downside risk of yourvarious investments, thedownside risk of youroverall portfolio, and havethought through the prosand cons if your decisionis wrong.
Remember, in mostcases, you are damned ifyou do and damned if youdon’t. In other words, nomatter what you do, youare likely to be wrong insome way. But this is not aquestion of being right orbeing wrong, it is a ques-tion of managing risk and
building wealth consist-ently over time.
Market ebbs and flows,so does your portfolio
I personally do notbelieve in buying andholding either individualstocks, or the overallmarket index, over time.I believe that every stock,and the market as a whole,ebbs and flows and thatit is OK to manage yourportfolio over time by buy-ing when the risks are lowand selling or trimmingpositions when the risksare high. To mymind, thisis just the prudent thingto do.
Simply put, the road toportfolio happiness is tohave a clearly defined buyand sell discipline thatyou evaluate and reviewon a regular basis. Thiswill help you manage yourportfolio risks over time.And this will ensure youare ready when marketsfluctuate.Doug Nelson is a

Daniels rinkearnssilveratnationalsNearmiss for Delta sisters as B.C. reaches final at Canadian Junior Championships
Delta curling standoutsSarah andMegan Danielscame ever-so-close tobeing national champions.
The sisters and theirB.C. rink from the RoyalCity Curling Club fell 9-5to Nova Scotia Sunday inthe gold medal game atthe 2016 Canadian JuniorCurling Championships inStratford, ON.
Team Daniels hadstormed back with stealsof one point in threeconsecutive ends to tiethe game at 5-5 whenNova Scotia, skipped byMary Fay, seized controlfor good with two in theeighth and another deucein the ninth.
The loss ended a mem-orable week for Sarah whohas established herself as
one of the country’s topup-and-coming curlers atjust 16. She was named tothe tournament’s First All-Star team at skip thanks
to her 81 percent shootingpercentage.
“We’re all really proudof each other,” saidDaniels. “I know there will
be tears because it sucksto lose, but we’re reallyhappy for Mary’s teambecause they’ve worked sohard, and they’ve waitedfor this for so long. We’rejust going to take awayeverything we can fromthis. We’ve learned somuch from this competi-tion, and we’ll push harderto get better next year.”
It was the Grade 11Seaquam Secondary stu-dent’s second close call atnationals. She was a mem-ber of Kaila Van Osch’srink back in 2014 that lost7-6 in the final to Alberta.This time, her B.C. teamfeatured Marika Van Oschat third, Dezaray Hawesat second andMeganDaniels at lead.
The Daniels rink had
advanced with a 7-3win over Nova Scotia inSaturday’s semi-final. B.C.had earlier gone 8-2 inround-robin play in theeight team event.
Van Osch, 19, has nowwon three medals atnationals, having playedsecond and third for herolder sisters Kesa andKaila teams respectively.This time, she was theimpressed by the compo-sure of her young skip.
“She’s mature beyondher age; nobody everthinks she’s 16,” said VanOsch. “I don’t even thinkof her like she’s 16. Ialways think she’s my age.But she fits in well withthe rest of us, she’s verymature and she calls agreat game.”
At just 16, Sarah Daniels skipped B.C. within one winof being national junior women’s champions whilebeing named a first team all-star at skip.

Bottles For Loranda!
Thank you in advance for yourgenerous support!
On February 7th 2016, a bottle and tack drive will beheld to raise money for Loranda Farms, which burnt
down this past week.
Some neighbourhoods have received flyers in theirmailboxes, saying we will be picking up bottles in your
area, but as we are not able to deliver flyers toeveryone, we would like to encourage anyone else whowants to donate to bring their beverage containers
to Ladner Baptist Church between 1:30and 3:30 pm on that day.
Tack donations for the horses and their owners arealso welcome and can be dropped off to the same
locations at the same times
All proceeds will go towards the restoration of LorandaFarms 'N Kitty Kottage!
