Tsawwassen’s shopping district will face increased competition when the Tsawwassen First Nation develops major retail projects on the reserve.

Competition on horizon Commercial realtor says Tsawwassen merchants should be OK despite major TFN malls BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Local businesses, for the most part, should do fine with a huge competing commercial development at the Tsawwassen First Nation.

That’s the reassuring view of commercial realtor and former Tsawwassen Business Association president Michael Anderson, responding to last week’s announcement by the band that a massive retail complex is on the horizon.

“Right now in Tsawwassen, it’s

pretty much mom-and-pops, so I don’t think it’s going to change and it’ll be fine. It’s still convenient, easy to get to and people are time-short,” Anderson told the Optimist.

“But if you need a pair of shoes, well then it’s going to affect some people. There’ll certainly be a few categories that could suffer.”

The TFN Economic Development Corporation announced last week it has entered into a memorandum of agreement with a pair of development companies to build 1.8

million square feet of shopping, entertainment and office space.

Deals were reached with Ivanhoe Cambridge and the Property Development Group to develop up to 70 hectares (175 acres).

According to TFN Economic Development Corporation CEO Chris Hartman, Ivanhoe Cambridge’s part of the project would comprise 1.2 million square feet as a destination retail and entertainment centre.

Tentatively named Tsawwassen Mills, it would follow the success of CrossIron Mills, north of Calgary, which opened in 2010,

and Vaughan Mills, north of Toronto, which opened in 2004.

CrossIron Mills has over 200 stores, including Winners, H&M and Sport Chek, as well as movie theatres and restaurants. Vaughan Mills is similar with many of the same stores and eateries.

Property Development Group is proposing to develop a further 600,000 square feet as outdoor retail space and mixed use, said Hartman. Tsawwassen Commons would be similar to destination retail neighbourhood centres the See SHOPPING page 3

Civic politicians voiced concerns this week over Port Metro Vancouver plans for a drilling program at Roberts Bank.

Last month, Delta staff was notified by the Fraser River Estuary Management Program the port authority had applied for approval to start geotechnical drilling at 215 offshore locations near the Deltaport container terminal.

The application states drilling will take place from a barge 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will take eight to 10 weeks to complete.

The purpose of the drilling is to collect data for terminal expansion.

Port Metro Vancouver president and CEO Robin Silvester made a presentation to Delta council last month about container port expansion, including the proposed three-berth Terminal 2, but made no mention of the drilling, something that irked both councillors and staff.

Coun. Bruce McDonald said the situation is another example of the lack of communication from the port authority.

“It’s really almost beyond comprehension how insensitive this company has become,” he said.

CAO George Harvie said he is concerned about the project and recommended that Port Metro Vancouver be asked to come to the next council meeting to discuss the potential impacts of the drilling on the surrounding community.

“They should be here to speak See DRILLING page 3

Yard waste to go to West Coast Delta to save $300,000 in tipping fees, and gain more control, in deal with East Ladner composting operation JESSICA KERR

Delta came to an agreement this week that will see municipal green waste go to an East Ladner turf and composting business.

On Monday night, civic politicians approved a oneyear contract with West Coast Instant Lawns subsidiary company, EnviroSmart Organics Ltd., to send Delta’s yard waste, source separated food waste and agricultural solid waste there instead of to a Richmond facility.

Last November, Delta supported West Coast Instant Lawns’ application to Metro Vancouver for a compositing facility licence after the company earlier presented Delta with a proposal that would see the 72nd Street facility process municipal green waste. As well, the deal would provide residents free dumping of green waste, while the company would also provide

Delta a reduced price for topsoil purchases.

The agreement would also save the municipality about $300,000 in tipping fees.

In order to be authorized to accept organic municipal solid waste, a regional district compost facility licence is required.

One condition of the licence is for the facility not to operate in a manner that generates odour to an extent it causes a nuisance or adversely affects the surrounding area.

Delta’s main concerns are around the potential light and noise impacts of the

Sean McGill, Delta’s director of community planning and development, said staff received word from the port authority that

big change in the relationship between the municipality and the company, which in 2005 had to defend its operation after Delta filed a complaint with the Farm Industry Review Board.

Delta alleged West Coast Instant Lawns was not running a normal farm business due to the composting operation.

Complaints flooded municipal hall and Metro Vancouver in the summer of 2007 when the company accepted a large quantity of chicken manure that resulted in an overwhelmingly pungent odour throughout Ladner, prompting the regional district to issue an air pollution abatement order.

Owner Daryl Goodwin later said he no longer accepts the chicken manure and the facility has undergone significant upgrades to contain smells.

Goodwin was not available for comment by Optimist deadline.

would actually use the shopping centre. So they’re gauging the fact it’s going to be a bit of a destination, but I’m not sure for whom.”

Anderson said he’s been following the commercial development plans for a while, even speaking with those wanting to start a franchise restaurant as well as a cinema company interested in locating at the TFN, but only if major anchor tenants were signed.

Noting the band likely wouldn’t have made the announcement unless it believed it was close to landing some major anchors, Anderson said having outlets like Wal-Mart and something similar is the only way the project would be feasible.

Anderson said a redeveloped town core in Tsawwassen would survive despite the big-time competition just down Highway

17.

Meanwhile, the spectre of a major commercial development at the Tsawwassen First Nation has been on the minds of businesses in Ladner, although the Ladner Business Association hasn’t had a specific session on it yet.

LBA president Diane Askin said Ladner offers a unique village-like setting for shoppers.

“People come to Ladner

because of who we are and what we have and it’s like going to some of the other little areas if you shop in Kitsilano or Kerrisdale or Steveston and White Rock.

People go there because of the atmosphere and personals services.”

Askin said a continued concern, however, is the lack of signage to entice motorists to visit Ladner and local areas like Westham Island.

it doesn’t expect any light or noise impacts from the drilling, but added staff still recommends getting more information on the port’s mitigation plans.

The application does outline a number of measures that will be implemented to

minimize the environmental impact, including the use of divers to identify and avoid sensitive habitats and eelgrass beds, spill prevention and preparedness, and environmental monitoring of drilling operations.

Acoustic modeling of

potential impacts to killer whales has been completed and measures will be taken to avoid impacting marine mammals.

Allan Baydala, the port authority’s chief financial officer, told the Optimist yesterday Delta staff were

informed of the plan to proceed with test drilling of the sea floor last week.

Delta has no control over the project, but can make comments on the application before the Fraser River Estuary Management Program makes its decision.

Independent candidate John Shavluk has entered the federal election race in Delta-Richmond East.

On his new campaign website (shavluk.com), Shavluk noted a common sense political party is far overdue in Canada, since less than one per cent of the public actually is involved directly as members of the main political parties.

He maintains people’s views are being purposely ignored.

“Even if our local candidate disagrees with the party policy, he or she pledges their allegiance to the party and not to those

“I think that is wrong and again I will try to educate my neighbours and fellow citizens by standing up and pointing out the obvious flaws in our system. And remind them of the abuses

parties hope slide away.”

Some of the issues he highlights and says need answering include the expensive program to replace Canada’s jet fighters, the construction of jails and the inability of Canadians to vote online.

Shavluk ran in Delta

South in the 2009 provincial election, garnering just 60 votes (0.26 per cent).

He also ran in the two previous provincial elections (in 2001 and 2005) as the Marijuana Party candidate for Delta North and as an independent in Newton-North Delta in the 2008 federal election after being removed as the Green Party candidate for alleged anti-Semitic remarks.

Shavluk has maintained his comments were not antiSemitic.

Also running in the May 2 federal election are Duane Laird (Green Party) Kerry-Lynne Findlay (Conservative), Alan Beesley (Liberal) and Nic Slater (NDP).

Delta police were busy over the weekend in Ladner and Tsawwassen.

Early Saturday morning, a youth received minor injuries after trying to defend his friends.

The victim and his friends were walking in the area of Linden Drive and Ladner Trunk Road at around 12:30 a.m. when another group approached them.

According to police, one young male in that group became aggressive for no apparent reason and started shoving the victim’s friends.

The victim attempted to intervene when the youth produced a knife and struck the victim on the left side of his neck.

The victim suffered minor cuts and a shallow puncture wound.

He was treated in hospital.

Police located a girl in the area who is believed to be associated with the suspect.

The incident is still under investigation.

Delta Teachers’ Association president Paul Steer says a recent court decision is an important one to ensure proper learning conditions in the classroom.

“The good news about this decision is that it affirms the right of teachers to grieve difficult learning and working conditions.

It’s no longer permissible for an employer to deem a particular class appropriate for student learning in September, and then two or three months down the road as conditions change or deteriorate, you can’t just turn a blind eye to it,” he told the Optimist about the B.C. Court of Appeal decision about oversized classes.

The case began in 2009, when a teacher in Alberni filed a grievance regarding her Grade 5 class, which had more than the legally allowed number of students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs), according to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The teachers’ union argued the frequent and prolonged absence of a teacher aide made providing appropriate education more difficult in that class and breached a promise made at the beginning of the school year.

The case went to court when an arbitrator earlier dismissed the grievance.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW The Tsawwassen First Nation doesn’t kid around when it comes to economic development.

When the band signed B.C.’s first urban treaty in 2009, it did so with big plans for a more prosperous future, one that included industrial, commercial and residential projects on an expanded land base. With a request for proposals for the housing component and ground already broken on the logistics centre, it’s clear the TFN is not wasting any time moving forward with those initiatives.

When Chris Hartman, CEO of the TFN Economic Development Corporation, addressed the Delta Chamber of Commerce in February, he hinted that a major announcement would also be forthcoming on the commercial aspect of the band’s overall land use plan.

As it turns out, Hartman wasn’t kidding.

The news last Friday the TFN had signed a memorandum of understanding with a couple of prominent commercial development companies paves the way for a whopping 1.8 million square feet of retail and entertainment space to be constructed near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal.

The tentatively named Tsawwassen Mills (which will account for 1.2 million of the square feet) is to be modeled after similar shopping centres in Calgary and Toronto, both of which bill themselves as retail destinations thanks to some unique store offerings, entertainment options and architectural designs.

I figured if the TFN was going to get into the retail game it would have to develop something out of the ordinary, at least for this neck of the woods. People aren’t going to drive past a Winners or a Sport Chek to get to another Winners or Sport Chek, so your typical suburban mall isn’t going to cut it here, not with the size of our population.

It had to be a destination spot, one where people from throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, as well as ferry passengers, would come for shops they couldn’t find anywhere else, or at least not in that concentration. From the looks of their websites, it appears the other Ivanhoe Cambridge properties do just that, housing many outlet and factory stores that act like magnets for hardcore shoppers.

How it all plays out here remains to be seen, but it’s safe to say the TFN is not waiting to take advantage of its posttreaty situation. That shouldn’t come as any great surprise, but around here, where we agonize over whether a building should be four or five storeys and plans are years in the making, it’s a bit of a novel concept.

It’s difficult to get too excited over election about nothing DAN SOUTHARD

COMMUNITY COMMENT There was a time when elections were highly anticipated events for me. Federal, provincial, municipal — it didn’t matter which one.

Come election night, I’d plant myself in front of the television like a redneck on Super Sunday, and eagerly wait for the returns to roll in.

You would think then the last 10 years have been a regular hootenanny for me. Heck, we’ve had so many federal elections that I began keeping a John Cummins sign on hand rather than getting a new one every few months. However, all those elections (that occurred for reasons I can no longer remember) have pushed me to a point where I’ve begun to find the whole exercise rather tiresome.

Maybe if there was some imperative need for this federal

election, or if the candidates were addressing the real issues facing us, I’d feel differently. Instead, though, there’s just a lot of squawking about fighter jets, a debate that is the punchline in this joke of an election.

I’m no expert on fighter jets, and I don’t know if the F35s are the right plane for our military.

What I do know is not only did the Paul Martin Liberal government of the 1990s believe the F35 is the right plane for our military, it also invested our tax dollars in its development. That’s a high-level commitment. Now the Liberals think the F35 is the wrong plane for us?

And they waited 14 years to say something about it?

Michael Ignatieff is currently promising to cancel the F35 acquisition and, as stated in the Liberal Party platform, will wait until it is necessary to buy new fighters, and at that time will spend billions less than the Harper government would have. Really? Am I the only one feeling a touch of helicopter déjà-vu?

So, Ignatieff would just write-off the $100 million-plus tax dollars Martin spent choosing the F35s, then eventually start the whole

acquisition process again? So, in about 20 or 30 years we may end up with new fighter jets and somehow end up saving billions? Sure.

The F35 issue isn’t really about the jets, just like this election isn’t really about some imperative need to oust the government.

Both are just rank political games.

Unfortunately, many people are willing to play along.

We are in the midst of a demographic shift that will cripple the government’s ability to adequately fund our health care and social security programs, as well as pensions promised to government employees. These funding shortfalls will also seriously threaten the economic prospects of our children and, indeed, our nation.

These are the long-term issues we need to tackle, and the issues for which our prospective leaders offer no solutions. People are calling this the “Seinfeld Election” because it’s about nothing. On the surface that may be true, but there’s a subtext here.

This election is about something.

It’s about political games trumping what’s best for the nation. It’s an old story, but never before so apparent.

April 13, 2011 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Municipal leadership lacks vision Group, without any plan or ability to activate agriculture thereon.

This will be called “compromise.” This shows no vision or plan for the community, only a negotiated deal with cleverly designed delays to salvage re-election hopes.

This cone of silence styled “planning process” will undoubtedly suck the vision out of any future proposal that Century may

make, such that, either what eventually gets built will not benefit the community in any way or Century will elect not to build a visionless project at all and will pursue its only remaining alternative — industrial agriculture in the centre of our community.

Either way, the community will lose.

It is time for new leadership ... with vision.

Just sick about what TFN has planned for Tsawwassen

Editor: Re: Huge shopping centre planned, April 9 I feel sick to my stomach at the “destination retail and entertainment centre” being planned by the TFN. I support the pursuit of economic prosperity, but the thought of our beautiful pastoral landscape

being turned in to a field of Winners and Walmarts makes me nauseated.

Of course, some commercial development will need to go along with their residential plans, but really?

A destination centre in Tsawwassen?

Who exactly is going to pack this big box monstros-

ity? Richmond already has its own (multiple) big box store/movie theatre complexes so they’re not going to drive out here.

Same goes for North Delta/ Surrey/White Rock. That leaves exactly all of South Delta as the target population.

Some retail stores —

absolutely, but I am literally begging the TFN to keep the character of South Delta in mind when it designs this project.

We don’t need big box stores, we need smaller shops, restaurants and commercial services to service our beautiful community.

Big mall on TFN reserve will finally fill the void for South Delta shoppers

Editor: Re: Huge shopping centre planned, April 9 The Tsawwassen First Nation memorandum of agreement to partner with Ivanhoe Cambridge illu-

minates a truly remarkable achievement by the TFN Economic Development Corporation.

A10 The Delta Optimist April 13, 2011 Letters to the Editor

Improvements to waterfront must include access roads

Editor: I had the pleasure of attending the public meeting on the possibilities for development on the Ladner waterfront last week. The committee members have worked long and hard to come up with a solution to a difficult situation.

As I see it, one of the major problems still unsolved is vehicle access to the site. There are only three streets leading to the waterfront and all of them are only two lanes wide, an obstacle not an asset.

Elliott Street has a poten-

tially dangerous intersection where it meets River Road.

Delta Street is a very attractive two-lane street that can’t handle much traffic, while Georgia Street has a very awkward and potentially dangerous intersection where it meets 48th Avenue.

As a resident of Georgia Street, I have concerns about safety due to increased traffic. At the present time, many vehicles entering Ladner along River Road from the tunnel turn north on Elliott to Chisholm Street and follow it to the end where it meets Georgia.

They then take Georgia to 48th Avenue, turn right onto 48th and then left and right again to reach 47 A Avenue, the only through street leading to Port Guichon (west Ladner).

Georgia is only one block long and where it meets 48th Avenue it does so at an awkward angle. The sightlines are bad.

For safety reasons, I suggest the intersections at River Road and Chisholm Streets and Georgia Street and 48th Avenue be made into three-way stops.

Put Southlands issue to rest by holding referendum

Editor: Re: Hodgins back to drawing board, April 9 It is my belief, and giving Sean Hodgins all due respect, he is never going to quit until he gets money in his pockets vis a vis the

Southlands.

Hodgins’ latest concern is “.... but where are the people who maybe were inclined to support Century but are independent of Century?” Prior to this, his concern, as depicted in a

full-page ad, was “bullies.”

Please. Enough.

Mayor Lois Jackson, put this issue to a referendum that has explicit choices.

Tally the votes. Majority rules. And get on with it.

Residents near border want course to operate in more considerate manner

Editor: May we ask what Delta council is preparing to do to support our efforts to get the Point Roberts Golf and Country Club to operate quietly?

This issue has been allowed to slide uncorrected for at least seven years. An insulting letter to the editor of the Delta Optimist from the course’s recent manager has got our

goat.

We’re asking that this golf course operate with consideration for those around it.

Two recurrences of these machines’ penetrating noises since our contact with Whatcom County suggest there is no will on the other side of the border to address this issue with the consideration we’re overdue. The fine weather

coming at us means that we’ll have to tolerate this nonsense almost daily until winter.

Whatcom County has yet to come up for a listen.

We’re certain that when they do, they’ll agree that the Point Roberts Golf and Country Club’s machinery is far too loud for its setting, butt up against Tsawwassen.

Drivers shouldn’t be parking where they don’t belong — not even for a minute

Editor: There are parking spaces that state “Tenant Parking” or “Private Parking” that mean unless you live in the adjacent building, you cannot park there. But all too often, after being cautioned, an offending parker states, “but I’ll just be minute.”

No, there is no minute.

I doubt you would park in a handicapped parking spot and say, “I’ll just be a minute,” so why park in a spot clearly marked “Tenant Parking” or “Private Parking?”

You would not like it if someone was parked in your driveway and said to you, “Oh, I will just be a

minute,” and you had to park elsewhere. You would probably call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed from your driveway.

Please respect that “Tenant Parking” or “Private Parking” signs are for people who live in the adjacent buildings.

Council must heed Get a New, High-Efficiency Heat wishes of majority Pump for Only $2.40 a Day! squander farmland, to retain Southlands as agriculture, this council and mayor refuse to respect the results of their own democratic tools.

Will it only be when one citizen — yes, the landowner of Southlands — agrees to the result? Why? Does he have more votes than I do in an election?

In September, this council may again force the citizens of Delta to endure more meetings. What is the point of democratic process when council repeatedly shuns the results?

Democracy is a dirty word here in Delta.

It would be a breath of fresh air to have a council that would respect the strong majority of its citizens so we would not be dragged through another painful process.

It does not have to be like this.

Difficult to support non-member Editor: Re: No appetite for candidate parachuted into riding, letter to the editor, April 9 To answer Laurie Nicol’s question, one of the major differences between Dale Saip and Kerry-Lynne Findlay is that prior to the

As a longtime member of the party, I find a great deal of difficulty in voting for a person who is a non-member of the party.

A Huge Thank You!

said she “unabashedly wept” when she heard the news Parliament had been dissolved and MPs were heading out on the campaign trail because she knew it meant that Bill C393 was done.

The bill was the result of intensive advocacy by South Fraser Gogos and 240 Gogo groups across Canada that have been formed to support the work of the Stephen Lewis Foundation and his Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

The private member’s bill began with a 32,000signature petition asking that Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime made into law in 2004, be amended to make it easier for generic drug companies to manufacture and export anti-retroviral medicines to HIV and AIDS patients in sub-Saharan Africa. The petition was presented in March 2009 in the House of Commons by MPs from all four parties.

Since then, the road has not been easy.

“This whole thing has had a series of what we like to call unnecessary delays,” Worthington said.

After passing second reading in the House of Commons with a slim majority, the bill survived prorogation in late 2009 and

fund. Proceeds from the book sale will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Gogos (Zulu name for grandmothers) are groups of Canadian grandmothers across the country that are helping African grandmothers left to bring up their grandchildren because their own children have died in the AIDS pandemic.

They advocate on behalf of the African grandmothers to the Canadian government, raise awareness of their plight and fundraise, sending money through the Stephen Lewis Foundation to help African grandmothers and orphans.

continued into the committee process.

The revised bill returned early this year and seemed to be garnering more support. A new sponsoring MP was given unanimous consent, key points were restored, it passed with a larger majority — 172-111 — on March 9 and was sent to the Senate.

However, Conservative senators kept adjourning the bill until time ran out when the government fell to a non-confidence vote March 25.

“South Fraser Gogos were profoundly disappointed, disgusted and outraged that certain members of the Senate ignored the clear will of the democratically elected House of Commons by stalling Bill C-393 until it died with the dissolution of Parliament,” Worthington said. “Bill C-393 had the potential to help save the lives of thousands of people dying of treatable diseases in developing countries.”

The grandmothers have vowed to carry on.

Worthington said the fight to help get much-needed drugs to developing countries would continue once the Gogos have a chance to re-group.

She added the group is geared up to make this an election issue.

if any of them have any food allergies or dietary preferences. Can you ask them? Please?”

The husband gave me the look.

“No one’s coming for dinner,” he said. “It’s just Twitter stuff.”

I do not get this Twitter stuff. And quite frankly, I am not sure I want to get this Twitter stuff.

Let’s just say this: if anyone was following me — especially someone I didn’t know — I’d be likely to put on a major disguise, and perhaps even call the police.

And when it comes to following other folks, well, that’s simply not my style.

Advice is something I follow. Charlie Sheen is someone I don’t.

Federer, he has not been watching Federer’s back side as he’s been wandering into Wimbledon.

Instead, he’s been following these folks online. Call it virtual stalking.

“And who is following you?” I asked the husband the other day.

“Oh,” he said, “all kinds of folks.”

“No kidding,” I said.

“That’s pretty creepy. Do I know any of these people?”

The husband thought.

“Maybe some of them,” he said.

“So if they’ve been following you,” I continued, “I assume they know where we live. And do you know how many of them might show up at dinnertime?

“I don’t know Charlie Sheen,” the husband laughed. “Where would I meet Charlie Sheen? I don’t even want to meet Charlie Sheen. I think Charlie Sheen is probably pretty crazy.”

OK. So they’ve never met. But still, Charlie has my husband on his trail.

This, I understand, is because of something called Twitter. Thanks to Twitter — whatever Twitter is — my husband is able to follow whomever he wants.

I have, admittedly, next to no knowledge of Twitter.

But this much I know: when my husband “follows” Charlie Sheen, he is not walking down the street 10 feet behind him. When he’s been “following” Roger

After spending more than 20 years working in the corporate world, Steve Kemp has returned to a business he is more passionate about — construction.

Kemp started in the construction business building new homes in the Ottawa area in the 1970s but early on made a change and “went corporate.”

Nine years ago, however, he decided to return to where he started and got into the home renovation business.

Four years ago, he started his own construction management company, Tsawwassen-based Kemp Construction.

Currently, the company is focused on home renovations of all sizes — from a single room to full homes and additions — but Kemp

said he’s looking at expanding into new home construction in the near future.

A certified renovation professional, Kemp has built his business to be a “straight up, honest company that is looking to help people make good decisions.”

To achieve this, he said, he puts a lot of emphasis on the “front end” of a project — trying to get a really good idea of his client’s wants, needs and budget.

And when working with a couple, that means making sure both sides have the same vision for the space.

“Something that I always do at the beginning of my relationship with the client

is to ensure that the husband and wife are on the same page for the design aesthetic,” he said.

If a couple is not clear in their vision, or have differing ideas, he suggests they look at other homes and magazines to see what they like.

“This process will help to flush out what they like in common and it will save time when they meet the designer or architect for the first consultation.”

Kemp said the biggest stressors in any home renovation are time and budget, so he does his best to try and keep clients as up to date as possible to keep stress at a minimum.

This donation will help us purchase the equipment necessary for the hospital to diagnose asthma for the community.

“We are continually humbled by the RBC Foundation’s dedication to the foundation. It has continuously helped us purchase equipment and in turn provide the best healthcare for Delta,” said Boyda.

Aerosol provocation system dosimeters are used to accurately measure dosages of methacholine, a substance used in diagnosing asthma through contracting the patient’s airway to determine if it is obstructed.

This helps diagnose more people, especially children, with asthma.

RBC invested more than $56.6 million with charities in hundreds of communities worldwide in 2010.

RBC has donated $20,000 to the Delta Hospital Foundation to fund priority equipment, specifically an aerosol provocation system dosimeter.

Since 1999, RBC has been an important supporter of the foundation’s fundraising efforts by repeatedly contributing to Delta Hospital’s capital campaigns.

“RBC is committed to building stronger communities by supporting community hospitals across Canada,” said branch manager Karl Sterk. “This investment will help ensure that the thousands of people served by the Delta Hospital each year will continue to have access to state-of-the-art equipment, facilities and programs.”

Stacey Boyda, Delta Hospital Foundation’s individual giving manager, was ecstatic to receive the money, which will purchase this vital equipment for respiratory health.

Lax-4-Life a hit on and off floor

Over $2500 raised for cancer society

After months of planning and weeks of preparation, the inaugural Lax-4-Life proved to be a huge success on and on the floor.

Delta Lacrosse was proud to host the 12-hour game on Saturday at the Ladner Leisure Centre which raised over $2500 for the Canadian Cancer Society. With hopes of making it an annual event, it was a fun-filled day to launch the 2011 season.

Players from Delta, Richmond, Surrey, Burnaby and North Delta all had a fantastic time. Jerseys and colors mattered not on this day – the kids took part for the love of the game, and for a lot of them, they had their own personal reasons to participate.

“Our aim was not just to let the kids have a funfilled day, but to also let them know they can make a difference and they are a part of our greater community as well,” explained Angela Smith, one of the Lax-4-Life organizers.

Kelly Robinson, another organizer and Delta Lacrosse pee wee division manager, joined her family

as one of the driving forces behind the event after their own family’s battle with cancer.

Her daughter Ashley, who will play her first season of lacrosse this year, is a cancer survivor.

The Robinsons moved here from Northern Ontario last year, and Kelly’s son Mitch joined field lacrosse through a friend at school.

The Delta Lacrosse community has become part of their extended family, and when members of Delta Lacrosse joined Ashley’s Relay for Life team last year, the idea of a 12-hour lacrosse game was discussed.

It grew from there.

With the support of the B.C. Lacrosse Association and many Delta community-minded sponsors and private donors, the event was sure to be a success.

Jerseys were swapped.

Hardest shot contests were held. Hot Dogs were served. Burgers were flipped.

Penny Wars were gauged and tallied. Congratulations to Ben Simms for his clear win!

Reid leaves Boston school to sign with NHL Sharks MARK BOOTH

The Sharks have circled in on Brodie Reid’s hockey career.

The 21-year-old forward from Ladner has walked away from the final three-years of a full-ride scholarship deal at Northeastern University to sign a two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks.

Reid agreed to the deal on Thursday and returned home from the Boston school. He will report to the Sharks later this week and participate in practices with the

“I should be in a economics class right now but instead I’m here in Vancouver at my parents home,” said Reid on Monday. “To be honest, it really hasn’t hit me yet. I celebrated a little bit over the weekend with my girlfriend and family but it was nothing over the top.

“They want me down the for the experience and basically to get my feet wet prior to training camp.”

The South Delta Minor product starred in the B.C. Hockey League with the Burnaby Express then spent one season in the United States Hockey League with the Lincoln Stars before heading to Northeastern.

“My goal all along was hoping one day I would play in the NHL. Northeastern is an awesome school and the (hockey) program couldn’t have been any better. I wasn’t going to go anywhere unless the offer was like I got.”

McManus sees double duty Field hockey standout plays up for jr and sr national teams BY

MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

Sara McManus is logging plenty of air miles of late as one of the top young field hockey players in the country.

The Grade 12 student at South Delta secondary school has been seeing double duty with the national team program.

She helped the Canadian junior team win three of four games during a series against the U.S. U19 team — March 13-20 in San Diego. McManus was then home for a week before heading to Santiago to join the senior team for a fivegame test series with Chile.

It marks the first time she has been part of a senior tour. She been coming off the bench in a reserve role and gaining valuable international experience along the way.

“The senior team first showed interest in her when she was in Grade 10,”

explained Sara’s father — Rob McManus. “Obviously, there’s a lot of talented players to choose from but chemistry is a big part of it too and Sara has managed to fit right in with the program and her teammates. “(SDSS) has been awesome and allowing her to be flexible with her school work. I also can’t say enough about what the community grassroots program has done for her career. From the Falcons to working with Tammy (McComb) and Neil (McLennan) on the school teams.”

Although McManus thrived for three seasons in the Sun Devils’ midfield, she is an established defender with the national program.

Her play has attracted the interest of over 40 college teams on both sides of the border, including a full-ride scholarship offer from the University of California at Berkeley. Instead,

McManus has opted to sign with perennial CIS powerhouse UBC which will allow her to continue year-round training with the national program and have full access to its support staff.

She already travels four times a week to the Point Grey campus for national team workouts.

Meanwhile, Falcon alumni Rob Short and Mark Pearson have been named to the Canadian men’s roster for a nine game tour of Europe which starts today with a match against England.

Canada will play England, Ireland and Scotland three times each with the trip wrapping up April 28.

Short and teammate Ken Pereira are poised to become Canada’s most decorated international players when they earn their 318th cap on April 17 against Ireland — surpassing Paul Chohan.

Carol appreciated the little things in life, never taking anything or anyone for granted. She was one of the few people who took the time to “Stop and Smell the Roses”. She was what you would call a “Martha Stewart” of her time with gardening, baking and sewing, the list goes on.

No Funeral by request. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the MS or Leukemia Society.

SINCLAIR, Dr. Donald Allan

December 26, 1922 - April 7, 2011

Don passed away peacefully at the home he built, surrounded by those he loved.

Born in Calgary, Alberta to Burt and Ted Sinclair and predeceased by his brother Bruce. Remembered and survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Kathleen Woodsworth Rose, children Bob (Susan), Joani (Randy), Carol-Anne (Walfre), grandchildren Christopher, Carolina (Mauricio), Sarah, Tracy, Andrew, Christy and extended family. Don grew up in Vancouver, graduated from Prince of Wales Secondary and attended both the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto, where, in 1947, he graduated in Dentistry. In 1960, he moved his family to the Lower Mainland from Trail, BC and settled in Tsawwassen in 1962. Throughout his professional years, Don was involved with the family business, BC Dental Supply. He practiced dentistry in Vancouver, Trail, Squamish and Richmond, BC where he remained until his retirement in 1989. Don was an extremely active and hard-working man. He cherished the time spent on his endless list of projects around his offices and homes, especially Christina Lake, where he gave his family countless wonderful memories. Always enlisting the help of his children and grandchildren, Don taught the value of hard-work and instilled a strong sense of family values. He enjoyed water and snow skiing, tennis and could be found riding his bike through Palm Desert up to the month before he died. His legacy will be carried on for years to come. This wonderful man will be sorely missed and remembered with sincere admiration.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Don’s life at the family home on Wednesday, April 20th, 2011 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Delta Hospice Society Box 19036, Delta, BC V4L 2P8.

ELLIOTT, Dorothy Louisa

November 3, 1920 – April 6, 2011

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye. Doll died peacefully at Augustine House, Ladner, BC on April 6th, 2011 in her 90th year.

Doll is survived by her sons David (Wendie) and Donald (Nicole) (Montreal), four grandchildren, Jessica (Greg), Patrick, Stephanie, Melanie and greatgranddaughter Maelle Elliott Alston, daughter of Jessica and Greg. Doll is also survived by three brothers in Ontario; Len (Barb), Bob (Marion), Bill (Sheila) and sister-in-law Bubbles (Chuck). She was predeceased by her husband Larry who died November 29th, 2010 and her brothers Ron, Chuck and Ken. As the oldest child and only daughter, she assisted her mother in raising her six brothers. In 1945 she married Larry. When he retired in 1983 they moved from Montreal (St. Lambert) to Ladner, BC. In 2008 they sold the home they loved and moved to Augustine House where, together they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in July, 2010. Over the years she enjoyed and was well recognized for her curling. Gardening, cooking and lawn bowling kept her busy. Doll especially enjoyed her many trips to Palm Springs with Larry and Hawaii and Mexico with the family. She was a proud and supportive wife and mother, well respected and intensely loved.

Our family thanks the wonderful staff in Haven House Dementia Unit in Augustine House, for their compassionate care, respect and kindness given to Doll these last three years.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Friday, April 15th, 2011 at 2:00 pm at Beach Grove Golf Club, 5946 12th Avenue, Tsawwassen, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC, #300, 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC - V5Z 1E2, or a charity of your choice.

SCLATER James Elliot 'Slate' Nov. 1st, 1934 – April 3rd, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Elliot. Elliot was born to James and L. Bernice Sclater, November 1st, 1934 in New Westminster. Elliot will be lovingly remembered by Alison, his wife of 50 years, son Jamie (Charlotte), daughter Karen (Mike), his grandchildren Nolan and Payton, sister Shirley (Bruce), and many dear family and friends. Elliot graduated from Prince of Wales Secondary in 1953 and went on to UBC, majoring in Agriculture, and earned his Masters of Education at Western Washington University. Elliot worked as a teacher and counsellor until his retirement in 1994. During that time Elliot married his true love in 1960, had two wonderful children, and built the family home on Tsawwassen beach. Elliot kept himself busy over the years running his printing press, building houses, running WAVES, tinkering with cars with the Old English Car Club, and playing his accordion. Elliot was a kind and caring gentleman who treated everyone with respect and had an amazing ability to always make people smile. A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, April 12th at 2:00 pm at the Beach Grove Golf Club.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

SKINNER Taras (Terry) Mathew

TREVITT, John Robert Born April 7, 1924, passed away April 6th, 2011. He was predeceased by his sisters Dorothy, Marjorie, Ada and Vera, his cherished wife of sixty years, Gay and his son Johnny. He is survived by his sons David (Jan) and Brian (with whom he had a specially close bond), his grandchildren Cindy (Tony), Jeff (Lesley), Matthew (Wendy), his great-grandchildren Rachel, Brooke and Michael and his new special love, Phyllis.

John was born and grew up on his parents’ farm in Delta. After serving in the Royal Canadian Navy on the HMCS Capilano in WWII, John purchased farmland near Ladner. Eventually, he also inherited his family’s farms on Vasey Road where he and Gay developed a marina in the 1960s. During this time he founded the thriving John R. Trevitt Excavating Ltd. Company, which he ran for numerous years. John was a volunteer supporter of the Delta Museum and Archives, participating in many of Ladner’s historical and traditional events. He was one of the founding directors of the Reifel Bird Sanctuary, played a part in Delta’s Centennial and in 1983 he and Gay were awarded Delta’s Citizen of the Year Award. John was also a carver and artist and rarely rested as he got older by always finding new and innovative ways to express his creativity, helping others and remaining an active member of the community. No tree was too bendy, no barn roof too high and no lawn was too well manicured for this stalwart man! He was down-to-earth with a quietly powerful presence and a mirthful twinkle in his eye. We’ll miss you Grampy.

A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 11:00 am at Delta Funeral Home 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Ladner, BC with a reception to follow. Donations may be made to Delta Hospice Society, Box 19036 Delta, BC V4L 2P8.

On Sunday April 3rd, Terry passed away peacefully due to complications brought on by his diabetes. He’ll be terribly missed by his family and friends: his wife Sheena, his son Todd, and his grandchildren Nick and Breanne in Delta; his mom and dad Mae and Paul LeCerf, his sister Iris and her children and their families in Tisdale, Saskatchewan; and his daughter Sherry (Tim) and his grandchildren Mikayla and Molly in North Carolina. Terry’ll be remembered for his sense of fun, love of music, love of golf, love of animals, and for always having jokes to tell as only he could! Due to his request, no memorial service will be held. The family will have a private gathering to celebrate his life. In lieu of flowers please donate to The Diabetic Association or your favourite charity.
