Hearing nears for Southlands

Two days in September have been tentatively set aside for public to have its say on contentious proposal BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

The approval process for Century Group’s Southlands proposal appears to be moving forward as dates for a number of key meetings have been tentatively set, including a possible public hearing in September. The Century Group issued a

press release yesterday morning that said Delta citizens would finally have an opportunity to voice their opinions on the company’s proposal. The release outlined a series of dates. Delta chief administrative officer George Harvie confirmed this week that dates for a public information meeting, preliminary consideration from Delta council

and a public hearing have tentatively been set. He said the dates would be firmed up once Delta has gone through all the information submitted by the developer. It looks like a public information meeting could be held later this month, with Delta council considering first and second reading in June and, if approved, the

proposal going to a public hearing in early September. The Century release had the dates of that public hearing as Sept. 10 and 11. The Century Group is proposing to develop the 536-acre Southlands with housing on 20 per cent on the site, while handing over 80 per cent of the land to Delta. Much of that land would be

used for farming, with the necessary upgrades to make it possible paid for by Century. The rezoning involves the construction of 950 units in various forms and densities over a 15-year period. The proposal also includes a market square, which, the company says “will be an important link between agricultural activities and everyday life in Tsawwassen.”

Delta South candidates square off in Ladner BY

Delta South’s three provincial election candidates squared off for the fourth, and likely final, time Wednesday night as the campaign moved into its second half. Held at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner, the allcandidates debate, sponsored by the Delta Chamber of Commerce and the Optimist, was an opportunity for Liberal Bruce McDonald, New Democrat Nic Slater and independent incumbent Vicki Huntington to discuss a plethora of business and community issues. The merits of an independent MLA over a member of a party was once again a hot topic. In her opening remarks, Huntington said she was free to represent the interests of her constituents without the shackle of party policy. However, she also said cooperation is a two-way street, noting

Delta South candidates (from left) Bruce McDonald, Vicki Huntington and Nic Slater answered questions from the public during a forum Wednesday night at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner. Delta municipal hall has refused to accept her assistance to deal with issues. Slater said the party system does work and that it’s best if an MLA is a member of a team in order to get things done. On a

couple of occasions McDonald stressed that even backbenchers have a voice in government, despite what Huntington claims. A question posed early on was whether the candidates supported Port Metro Vancouver’s proposed

Terminal 2 as well as what mitigation should be implemented to lessen the traffic impact. McDonald said he supported Deltaport’s third berth but isn’t so sure a business case can be made for T2. He said he wants to see

how things play out in the assessment process. Huntington said she’s opposed to T2, noting other solutions, including increasing capacity at See CANDIDATES page 3

Murderer denied parole once again Derik Lord, who was convicted for the 1990 double slaying in Tsawwassen, still maintains his innocence BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

One of three men convicted in the murder of two local women more than 20 years ago has once again been denied parole. Derik Lord, who is now 40, was one of three teens convicted in the slayings

of his friend’s mother and grandmother in a murderfor-hire inheritance plot in Tsawwassen in October 1990. He was found guilty of first-degree murder in 1992 and sentenced to life in prison without a chance for parole for 10 years in the deaths of Sharon

Huenemann and Doris Leatherbarrow. As a young offender at the time of his conviction, no parole for 10 years was the maximum sentence the judge could hand down. Over the years, Lord has repeatedly been denied day and full parole; he made his latest appeal to the

parole board last month. Throughout his trial and incarceration, he has maintained his innocence. The parole board found that correctional staff is unable to properly address his risk factors due to his continued denial of the offence and, therefore, cannot support his release

despite recognizing he has made improvements in recent years. “As a result of your continued denial of responsibility for your particularly brutal and violent offence, you have been unable to properly address your risk factors,” the board stated in its written decision.

Darren Huenemann, the mastermind behind the murders of his mother and grandmother, and coaccused David Muir both admitted their roles in the double slaying. Huenemann remains in prison while Muir served his 10-year sentence and has since been released.

Man in wheelchair struck while crossing Trunk Rd. A man in a wheelchair sustained several injuries after being hit by a car in Ladner Tuesday night. Delta police spokesperson A/Sgt. Ciaran Feenan said the 50-year-old was crossing Ladner Trunk Road at 52A Street just before 7 p.m. when he was hit by a vehicle travelling east on Trunk Road. He sustained multiple fractures to his pelvis and legs and was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital by air ambulance. He is listed in stable condition. While the incident is still under investigation, Feenan said it appears the man was crossing against a red light. Ladner Trunk Road was closed for several hours while the department’s traffic section investigated.

Big Bike rolls through Ladner PHOTO BY

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike made multiple laps around Ladner Wednesday in the annual fundraiser. A team from Thrifty Foods was one of more than half a dozen to pedal the 30-seat, 2,200-pound bike over a course that began and ended at the Ladner Leisure Centre. Money raised goes in support of heart disease and stroke research.

CANDIDATES from page 1 Prince Rupert and the Ashcroft Terminal, should be given more serious consideration. “I think anyone with common sense knows what the impacts of Terminal 2 will be. It will be the destruction of foreshore habitat, it will be the doubling of the truck traffic that we already experience and it will be air pollution

like we haven’t seen before. I just feel very strongly Terminal 2 is not being proposed for the right location,” said Huntington. Critical of the environmental assessment process, Slater insisted the port authority not be allowed to think it can simply get its way. When asked if they supported a new Fraser River

XdXZ_

crossing and what it should be, Slater said proper consultation and assessment are needed before any major project is approved. “This is an unfunded promise by the B.C. Liberals. They’ve committed no funds towards this replacement project. If they were truly committed, then why haven’t they put dollars toward this project?” he asked. McDonald said the tunnel has another 40 years of

[]\gb cgY^`haf

life and should continue to be used regardless of what new crossing is built. “There are the five options we know we’re looking at. That consultation process is legitimate, it is true. We’re looking for the appropriate way to augment and get us out of the traffic,” he said. Huntington said she believes the port authority is behind the proposal to scrap the existing tunnel so bigger ships can traverse

CONNECT WITH BRUCE

the Fraser. She said the port should pay for the 40 years that would be lost should the tunnel be replaced. McDonald received a few jeers when he responded that the port is a public, not a private, entity. Wednesday’s debate was livelier than previous sessions in the campaign as a few in the audience made their views known with well-timed applause, groans and the occasional heckle. Slater, who was clearly

making an attempt to be more animated and forceful in delivering his views, had some back-and-forth exchanges with McDonald. At one point, he accused the Liberal candidate of talking out of both sides of his mouth by seemingly being against everything his Liberal government was doing, prompting McDonald to respond that if everything was perfect, then he wouldn’t be running.

When Delta police Const. San Uppal took over the Ladner Community Police Station, it was a homecoming of sorts. Uppal, a 25-year veteran of the force, grew up in Ladner. Over the course of his career, he’s worked in many different areas of the department — general patrol, homicide and community relations as well as a six-year stint at the Justice Institute — but hasn’t spent much time in the community he calls home. “I like community-oriented policing,” he says from his office in the Ladner Community Police Station (CoPS) in the heart of Ladner Village. Delta police introduced the CoPS program in Ladner and North Delta in 1992. A Tsawwassen location was added to the mix two years later. A station constable and a small army of volunteers staff each office and help carry out a number of crime prevention programs. The office offers pro-

The office also offers the

Child Find program, which allows parents to have all the pertinent details about their child in one spot in the event the child goes missing. All the child’s identifying information, including finger prints and a current photo, are put into a booklet for parents. Uppal said volunteers often take that program on the road to schools or other community places

and events, but parents can also visit the office to have a booklet filled out for their child. The office has 30 volunteers but Uppal would like to recruit more.

Candidates are all courting farm vote Liberal McDonald has farmers involved in campaign event, while Huntington and Slater vow to protect land BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Agriculture in Delta has always been a big issue come election time, so it’s no surprise all three Delta South candidates are pledging their support for the farming community. Liberal Bruce McDonald, who is promising to be a strong voice to protect agricultural land, appears to have the lion’s share of support from the farming community, with many local farmers taking part in a campaign event this Sunday in Tsawwassen. The Delta Farmers’ Institute isn’t endorsing a candidate, but that didn’t stop several of its more prominent members from attending a recent photo opportunity with McDonald to promote Sunday’s Celebrate Delta’s Farmers Day. “Frankly, I am somewhat overwhelmed by the level of support I am receiving from Delta’s farmers. The signs you see in their fields are there because the owners of those farms support my campaign, and I am

very grateful to them. Real farmers, both soil based and greenhouse growers, know that you can’t sell your crops unless you have a strong local economy. You can’t get your crops to market unless you have a good transportation system. “And frankly, you can’t preserve farmland if you don’t have farmers who can make a living from farming. I think the farmers recognize that I will work to protect farmland while promoting a strong economy and an improved transportation infrastructure for Delta, including a new Fraser River crossing.” Incumbent MLA Vicki Huntington, who made headlines last year by revealing a plan by an industrial consortium to take hundreds of acres out of the Agricultural Land Reserve, has also been outspoken when it comes to farming issues, including protecting agricultural land, dating back to her time on Delta council. The independent MLA said she also has support from members of the farming community, but the DFI

She has talked to the executive director a few times to discuss issues, but she said that’s the extent the institute has utilized its MLA. “The farming community, the DFI, has excellent contacts in the Ministry of Agriculture, and I think they really felt they didn’t need their independent MLA,” said Huntington. “I’ve met with the minister of agriculture a number of times on a number of issues, and arranged the meeting with greenhouse operators to talk about the

carbon tax, so I’ll do my best to support agriculture regardless. I will always support our farming community.” The NDP’s Nic Slater has been quick to point out that New Democrats were the ones who created the ALR, and under an NDP government it would be strengthened. “We will support farmers to help them stay farmers,” said Slater. “Richard Bullock, the

head of the ALC and who I actually worked for 30 years ago, said last September he was sick and tired of developers wanting to buy land and flip it. He said if you buy farmland, then it should stay that way. It’s too valuable for anything else. He also said he was surprised how the ALR is universally accepted throughout B.C., including farmers as well.” Delta South’s ongoing

challenge is preserving its rural character and stopping sprawl, Slater said. Huntington said she wholeheartedly supports a proposal currently in the works by the DFI that would see the creation of a fund directed to agricultural improvement projects in Delta. That money would come from any project that has an impact on Delta’s agriculture. She said a pot is needed to also support groups like Ducks Unlimited and the Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust. McDonald also supports the DFI proposal. Slater, meanwhile, said, “It’s hard to comment on a proposal that has no specifics outlined, but it seems to me that we should be focused on avoiding the loss of high-value farmland, as opposed to setting up a framework for compensation that tacitly accepts the loss as inevitable.”

Ladner student earns $80,000 scholarship Dylan Kruger is one of just 30 students from across Canada this year to become a Loran Scholar A local teen was recently awarded one of Canada’s most prestigious scholarships. Dylan Kruger, a Ladner resident and former student at Holly Elementary and Delta Christian School, now in Grade 12 at Vancouver College, was thrilled to learn he has been selected as a recipient of the Loran Award. The $80,000 scholarship, awarded by the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation, is given to just 30 Canadian students each year. Kruger was chosen from among 4,000 nominees across Canada. Loran scholars receive a renewable award compris-

ing a $9,000 living stipend matched by a tuition waiver for their Canadian university tuition fees. A Loran Award also includes a mentorship and summer program, in which each scholar is paired with a mentor who challenges, advises and encourages them to pursue academic excellence and develop career choices. As well, each university assigns a staff member as a resource and the scholars support one another through their own organization, the Loran Scholars’ Association. The foundation also provides grants up to $8,500 for scholar-initiated summer experiences and scholars

Dylan Kruger are expected to use these opportunities to broaden and enrich their academic studies. “When I was told that I would be joining the prestigious group of Loran Scholars, I was both surprised and honoured,” Kruger said. “The process by which I came to be selected for this amazing opportunity was a long one, but the experience itself was a valuable one.” The selection process, which looked beyond just grades, was rigorous. Once Kruger was chosen as one of 19 regional finalists, he had to pass an initial set of interviews at UBC. “It was a long day of interviews during which I had the opportunity to meet some fascinating students from my area,” he said. “Soon after, the chair of interviewing committee called me to let me know that I had qualified for the finals.” The final round was a two-day event in Toronto made up of five different interviews, which included one over lunch. “Throughout the day, I had the chance to speak to current Loran scholars who shared interesting information about their respective universities,” Kruger said. “To finish it off, there was a talent show for finalists to relax and show off their expertise in anything from juggling to impersonations.” Then it was a long day of waiting before he got the news that he was one of just 30 students selected. When he’s not studying, Kruger runs his student council, works at the school newspaper and volunteers at South Delta Baptist Church. Next year, Kruger will be attending the University of Ottawa where he plans on studying political science and communications. He hopes to one day pursue a career in politics or government speech writing.

Cyclist off to Portugal for arthritis fundraising ride Ladner’s Michael Sanker headed to Algarve Coast

Michael Sanker has committed to raising over $8,000 for arthritis research as he prepares for a cycling trip in Portugal later this year. Sanker, a Ladner resident who has arthritis in his hands, knees and right shoulder, found out about the Arthritis Society’s Joints in Motion Training Team online while searching for arthritis herbal remedies. He registered for a multiday cycling trip in October along Portugal’s Algarve Coast. “I’m really motivated,” said the 50-year-old Sanker. He said he would be cycling 80 to 100 kilometres a day for five days.

“I’m looking forward to it.” Sanker, a certified general accountant, has suffered from arthritis for about a decade, but he said he hasn’t allowed the disease to interfere with his ability to enjoy a high quality of life with his wife Lisa and their five children. Sanker is an avid tennis player as well as hiking enthusiast. He also took part in the 2010 Ride to Conquer Cancer from Vancouver to Seattle. The Joints in Motion program has raised over $33 million since 1999 to fund arthritis research to benefit the 4.6 million Canadians with arthritis.

Sanker is holding two fundraisers at the Sundance Pub in East Ladner in his efforts to raise $8,600 for the Arthritis Society. The first event will be on Saturday, May 11 and the second on Friday, June 7. Both will begin at 7 p.m. Admission tickets are available for $15, which will get you dinner and a drink. Prizes will be given away at both events. Donations can also be made at jointsinmotion.ca by selecting Algarve Coast under the Donate tab, and then enter Michael Sanker in the participant search.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW I haven’t seen this many winners from a single event since one of those politically correct sports days that have become the norm at elementary schools these days. I guess it shouldn’t have come as any surprise, but I still had to laugh at the self-critiques offered by the political parties immediately following Monday night’s televised leaders’ debate. Taking a page out of the playbook of those wellintentioned teachers, it appears everyone came away with a blue first place ribbon. The Liberals declared: “Premier wins TV debate with clear focus on growing B.C.’s economy.” The NDP countered: “BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix won tonight’s televised leaders debate, proving it’s time for a change in British Columbia.” The Conservatives announced: “Conservative Leader John Cummins won tonight’s TV Leaders’ Debate in what was a clear breakthrough for the party.” I couldn’t readily find anything crowning the Green’s Jane Sterk as debate champ, but I suspect it’s out there somewhere. I know I should expect such hyperbole from those with their political futures hanging in the balance, but it underscores the fundamental flaw with any such gathering: How you felt about the candidates and their parties going in is pretty much how you viewed the situation 90 minutes later. Obviously those involved in the debate, along with their handlers, will instinctively declare victory, but that sentiment tends to extend to the wider population as well. Those who thought Christy Clark won were more than likely Liberal supporters before Monday night. The same goes for those who saw Dix or one of the other two leaders as the winner. It’s not surprising then that pollsters gathering feedback on the perceived victor found Dix and Clark at the top given they’re the two with the largest number of committed voters. It’s not really a case of which party leader won, for which there is no definitive answer, but who you thought was victorious, which for many people was determined long before the TV cameras began rolling. The same principle also applies to local all-candidates meetings, where far more people are there to offer support to their candidate of choice than to gather information from which to base their vote. With 11 days to go until the election, I guess it can’t hurt for so many leaders to be declaring victory. Come the evening of May 14th, however, only one of them will be able to legitimately make that claim.

Delta wouldn’t benefit from a move to regional police force DOUG HUSBAND

COMMUNITY COMMENT Would you be in favour of a regional police force for Delta? This question recently caused the Corporation of Delta to organize a public forum with a panel of experts and community leaders to discuss this topic. The panel, as expected, was divided. It remains to be seen whether there is provincial and public interest for change in Metro Vancouver’s policing structure. This organizational change has been a topic of discussion over the years from time to time and this latest interest arises from the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry. Years passed before the police investigation apprehended a suspect later convicted as a serial killer. Was the current policing structure in some way responsible for the perceived delay in apprehending the killer? There were many elements in

the investigation, from the intended victims, to the charter of rights and freedoms, the quality of investigation and manpower allocation. Serious criminal behaviour does not respect local boundaries of our cities and municipalities. Would a single jurisdiction be a benefit to an investigation and would our citizens and communities therefore be safer? It might help to know the history of our current structure of policing in B.C. B.C. joined confederation as a province in 1871 and formed a provincial police force under authority of the attorney general. In 1895 under the provincial Police Act, the constables were to maintain peace and order and enforce the laws of the province. By 1946 the force policed all rural areas and unincorporated settlements and 40 municipalities throughout the province. The provincial police force was dissolved in 1950 and taken over by the RCMP. Nevertheless, over a short period of time it was one of the most modern police agencies in Western Canada. The force was the first law enforcement agency to develop an air arm, crime laboratories and sophisticated communication systems for patrol cars and coastal

vessels. The majority of provincial police personnel were taken on as part of the RCMP, which has had the contract for policing in B.C. ever since. As a parallel, the Delta Police Department was formed on July 7, 1888 and later this year will celebrate its 125th anniversary. To my knowledge, Delta’s police force worked effectively with the provincial force and the RCMP generally, and specifically with Richmond and Surrey subdivisions on our borders. I believe Delta has been well served by our 170 uniformed members and 70 support staff. Delta is fortunate to have one of Canada’s best police chiefs in Jim Cessford. Personal opinions are based on experiences and as one who has spent some years in the RCMP and on Delta’s police board, along with a lengthy history with a provincial Crown corporation and as a national board member, I am comfortable with the status quo. I do not see any benefit to Delta with a regional force. I only have to look at our experience of regional health care, the loss of court services and Ladner’s post office to name regional changes not in Delta’s best interest. And a good night to you, Bob.

May 3, 2013 The Delta Optimist A11 Letters to the Editor

NDP can win tight three-way race

Editor: Re: Liberal in opposition won’t be as effective in Victoria as an outspoken independent, letter to the editor, May 1 Peter Duffey has made an excellent point: the fact that Bruce McDonald is campaigning on the idea of being an MLA in government is quite incoherent given the fact Christy Clark’s ship is most assur-

edly sunk at this point. Duffey goes on to say that an NDP majority is unlikely in Delta South, and I would agree, but Nic Slater doesn’t need a majority to win. We are looking at a very tight three-way race in this riding. I would bet the spread won’t be more than five percentage points between the three candidates. This means the NDP

could easily win this seat with 35 per cent of the vote. The only thing holding Slater back is the perception amongst some NDP-leaning folks who voted for independent Vicki Huntington last time that the NDP doesn’t have a shot, but it is a whole new ball game this time around. All the NDP needs for a win is for people to pick up on the momentum of

Liberals deliver on crossing promises

Editor: I operate a business in Delta that depends upon good road infrastructure for its existence. This company employs many Delta residents. I support Bruce McDonald in this election because he is the only candidate who has clearly stated he will do his best to ensure a new Fraser River crossing is quickly built to relieve the horrible traffic congestion at the George Massey Tunnel. The B.C. Liberal government has stated that a new

Fraser River crossing in our area is a priority and will be built as soon as necessary consultation with the public has been completed. While there may be reasons to criticize the current Liberal government, failure to fulfill road-building promises is not one of them. Consultation for the Gateway program, consisting mainly of a new Port Mann Bridge and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, began in 2003. The new bridge opened last December and the SFPR will be completed by the

end of this year. Golden Ears Bridge consultations began in 2002 and the bridge opened in 2009. The current government has a track record when it comes to infrastructure projects; if it promises to build one, it does so. I believe that this election will be a lot closer than people may think. Adrian Dix’s fumbling of the Kinder Morgan pipeline issue is hurting the NDP’s chances. We need a new crossing so I will be casting my vote for McDonald. Clint Morgan

McDonald camp sets the record straight when it comes to campaign behaviour Editor: Re: Poor campaign behaviour will only get worse if candidate is elected to office, letter to the editor, May 1 Warren Wolfe writes purporting to complain generally of “poor campaign” behaviour. Wolfe does not state which of the Delta South campaigns has caused him concern, but on behalf of Bruce McDonald’s campaign, I would like to set the record straight. McDonald has treated Vicki Huntington with respect throughout this campaign. McDonald has a

universally accepted reputation in this community for civility and cooperation, based upon his 20-plus years of serving the people of Delta. He has not and will not tarnish that reputation in this campaign. To point out flaws in the resume of a political opponent, backed by facts, is neither to lie nor to act inappropriately. As for signs, prior to the start of the campaign the McDonald team contacted Delta and committed to abide carefully by all sign placement laws and has

Transit police deserving of praise

Editor: As I was departing the train on Thursday, April 25 at the Canada Line Vancouver Centre Station at about 1:30 p.m., I experienced some difficulty. I was using my cane for the first time and I lost my balance. I nearly toppled into the path of the outgoing train. Had it not been for the quick action of two transit police officers (Edgar and Keith), the outcome could have been tragic.

These two gentlemen offered me their arms and escorted me from the SkyTrain Station to the Orpheum Theatre where I met up with my friends. My daughter, seeing me escorted by two police officers, exclaimed, “Mum, what have you done?” The exemplary behaviour of these officers should not go unnoticed. Too often we hear of negative behaviour and forget to acknowledge the positive. Sylvia Mitchell

done so. Huntington has placed signs where signs were not allowed and she was required to remove them (although her illegal sign on the South Fraser Perimeter Road berm remains in place). The bulk of McDonald’s large signs were placed on private property, in the fields of farmers who wished to show their support of McDonald by giving him their permission to place the signs. David G. Fredricksen Bruce McDonald Campaign Worker

Slater’s campaign and trust in the fact that a vote for the NDP can go a long way to bringing in the change we so badly need, both in this community and in the whole province. Huntington can’t have any effect on the major issues — like health care and education — that are of both local and provincewide importance. Kathleen Whipp

Huntington is target of unwarranted attack

Editor: We had the pleasure of watching the April 16 allcandidates meeting on TV and we were very pleased to learn many important facts from each of the candidates. However, that pleasure came to a very shocking and distasteful halt when Bruce McDonald decided to end the night with a vicious and, in my opinion, uncalled for attack on the character of Vicki Huntington. Huntington has been very open, available, communicative and hard working throughout. Contrast this to the experience, and I’m sure I am not the only one to experience it, of trying to communicate with the Delta council and McDonald’s invisible witness, Mayor Lois Jackson. For me at least, it cast doubt on anything McDonald had to say all evening. It would appear to me that a vote for McDonald would be a vote to end any communication with Victoria since he is defending the secrecy and aloofness I believe is practiced by Delta council.

Cleared for take-off When is the last time someone asked you how you were doing, and you told them you were over-busy and tired, and then they ended up telling you how over-busy and tired they were? Who is there for us when we need someone to understand and help? The psalm-writer knows what this is like: “From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” (Psalm 61:2) We need someone “higher than” we are at that given moment of need. The Bible leads us to the rock “that is higher than I” in the person of Jesus. We live in an eagle-rich place. Eagles in all their strength and beau-

ty can serve as reminders that God is there for us. The following is from Isaiah 40: “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Wow, now that is a lot higher than I; I never thought I could fly! But I’m open to try.

Choir offers a bit of everything BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

oncertgoers can expect to hear a range of genres at the Delta Community Choir’s upcoming show. A Little Bit of Everything is scheduled for next week in Ladner. Singers will be performing a variety of songs, including country, gospel, sacred, classical, musical theatre, jazz and rock. “It truly is a little bit of everything,” says musical director Danielle Hamilton. Hamilton, who became director four years ago, says she noticed the group wasn’t entirely comfortable with some genres like jazz and gospel when she came onboard. Since then she’s put on concerts with specific themes to get the singers more at ease with those styles. “Now that I’ve been the director for several years, I felt like it was time to do a concert where they had to flow between different genres to show their depth,” she says. “It took us a little while, but they’re ready.” Tapestry, the Delta Choral

Society’s smaller auditioned choir, will also be performing at the spring concert. Hamilton says the 13-person ensemble has the ability to sound just as big as the 80-member strong community choir. “It’s a different kind of sound, too. It’s hard to explain,” she says, adding most of the members of Tapestry are former students of hers at South Delta Secondary, where she’s the choral director. “Each group offers something really, really special.” About a dozen players from the Delta Concert Band will be performing as well. Hamilton notes the two groups have done previous collaborations and that quite a few members of the band also sing with the choral society. A Little Bit of Everything will be performed on Friday, May 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, May 11 at 3 p.m. at Cedar Park Church, 530044th Ave., Ladner. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and free for children under 12. Tickets are available from choir members or at the door.

Speechless, an exhibit of artwork and photography by SDSS students, opens at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn tonight.

South Delta Secondary students will have artwork and photography on display at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn this month as part of a new show. Speechless is the title of the show as well as the theme. An opening event takes place tonight at the hotel. In the spirit of the theme there will be no written artist statements

accompanying the students’ work, says SDSS fine arts department head Julie Lymburner. “We’re going to allow the work to speak for itself,” she says. “It’ll be very interesting to see if people are able to interpret what the students’ take on that theme was.” Drawing, painting and graphic design students will have work on display. The show will be comprised of about 50 pieces. Lymburner says she’s “really pleased” with

the way the show turned out. “We have a younger group of students but so many of them have really poured themselves into this.” This will be the 14th annual student art show for SDSS, she notes. The opening is set for tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. There will be refreshments and awards will be handed out. Speechless runs at the hotel until May 31.

The best strategy for weight loss It’s better to hit the weights, not the treadmill, if your goal is to shed a few pounds p.j. wren

Well on Your Way

henever I tell people that I do very little aerobic activity to keep my weight down, they always seem a little baffled. Unfortunately, the concept of lots of weekly aerobics to achieve successful weight loss has been so ingrained into our brains the average exerciser has just accepted it as gospel. But cardio for weight loss is a big fat waste of time, and my clients do not do any of it. What is termed as cardio (or aerobic activity) is anything past a walk and before a sprint. These activities are what we in the fitness industry call steady state. Steady state exercise can

be anything from jogging, to biking, to hitting the elliptical trainer in the gym. It is called steady state because the exerciser’s heart rate stays at one steady number (usually about 65 per cent of its max) for a long duration of time (usually for an hour or more). Why is this bad for weight loss? First off, the body adapts to any stress you apply to it. That’s basic physiology. For example, if you want to become a better golfer, you hit bucket after bucket of balls at the driving range. Soon, your body will become accustomed to this movement pattern and learn how to do it efficiently with fewer muscle fibres and less energy expended. This is great for the golf course, but not so great for the weight loss participant. Running on the treadmill for an hour or being on the elliptical trainer — week in, week out — elicits the

same effect as that golfer. Granted at the beginning you will see changes, but in time those changes will stop happening and you will hit that dreaded plateau. This is because you are doing the same thing over and over — with no change in heart rate rhythm or movement — and your body has become very proficient and is now recruiting fewer muscle spindles and burning fewer calories as an energy source (American Journal of Physiology). Large amounts of steady state cardio is also damaging to the body, due to its continuous and repetitious movements. Connective tissue doesn’t like be used in the same direction, in the same pathway, using the same joints for long periods of time. It’s called repetitive stress injury for a reason. Instead, when working towards a goal of weight loss, your mission should

be first to address what you do in the kitchen and then second to burn the most calories (energy) you can. Once you’ve cleaned up your diet, because that is truly 75 per cent of the weight loss solution, then hop off the treadmill and get your butt into the weight room. Research and leading exercise experts are now steering people towards higher intensity activities performed for shorter durations of time like weight training. Short, intense resistance training programs actually raise the body’s fat “releasing” hormone HGH (human growth hormone), something that a long bout of steady state cardio does not do (Romijn JA, Coyle EF, Sidossis LS, Gastaldelli A, Horowitz JF, Endert E, Wolfe RR). Strength workouts also build bone, boost energy, control blood sugar levels

and insulin, and if you perform your strength workout in a circuit pattern (with little to no rest in between the exercises), you will also improve your heart and lung health. Additionally, circuit training provides you with more calories burned after your workout session, a phenomenon called EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). Because you have trained at high intensities, it takes the body more energy (up to 36 hours more) and therefore more calories to bring it back to pre-exercise state (Kravitz & Reynolds, PhD). Strength training also builds your lean muscle mass, which in turn increases your BMR (basal metabolic rate). BMR is the measure of the amount of energy your body requires to perform its normal vital functions, and the more lean muscle

you have, the higher your BMR is. Whereas steady state cardio does not evoke enough of a demand on the body to build substantial lean muscle mass. Now, before all you runners, bikers and swimmers start sharpening your pencils to write me scathing letters, please note this research is regarding the most effective strategies for weight loss, and my intention was not to dissuade anyone from any activity. If you like to run, run. If a four-hour bike ride turns your crank, ride. But, if weight loss is your goal, then you need to look past the treadmill and at the dumbbell rack for effective results. P.J. Wren is a local personal trainer and writer in the Delta area who can be found running with her dog once a week, and then training hard in the gym, track or FG stairs for the rest.

Local artists help animals The South Delta Artists Guild will be hosting a fun and family-oriented open house on Saturday to mark the opening of a special exhibit. Cause for Paws, Feathers & Fur will run until May 26 at the Tsawwassen Longhouse Gallery (adjacent to the South Delta Recreation Centre). The show also acts as a fundraiser for the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) and the Delta Community Animal Shelter. The month-long show features work related to the animal theme. The open house, which will run from 1 to 4 p.m., will feature a performance by The United Entertainers. OWL will bring some of its raptors for viewing, while the animal shelter will have animals that are up for adoption. There will also be refreshments, a silent auction, decorated birdhouses, some cat toys and special door prizes.

Mazda has a lot riding on its new 16 BY

BRENDAN MCALEER Optimist contributor

Here are your talking points: Jinba Ittai, Skyactiv, Zoom-zoom. Know what any of those taglines mean? You would if you’ve read a review of

any Mazda product over the past few years. The first is a Japanese phrase relating to the melding of horse and rider moving as one being. The second is Mazda’s catch phrase for their efficient-yet-sporty engines and chassis. The last is pretty

self-explanatory. Thing is, do you really care about all this marketing? I know I don’t. Cars are good, bad or indifferent. When it comes to Mazda mid-sizers, the track record’s been a bit hit and miss. I have fond

memories of a boxy old 626 that racked up the miles and could haul ridiculous amounts of cargo. Then there was the 626 Cronos that might have been styled by the folks behind Lever 2000. The Mazda6 of the past

The redesigned Mazda6 offers three trim levels.

was based on the European Ford Mondeo, and that’s good, but it didn’t exactly fly off the shelves. Strange, that, considering how well baby-brother Mazda3 does. This new ‘6 is more important than ever: if the plucky Japanese purveyor of driving pleasure is to succeed, their bread-andbutter mid-sizer better appeal to the masses. Thinking of buying an MX-5 in five years time? The success of this car will determine whether you’ll be able to do so. Not to worry, though, because I’ve got good news... Design This theoretically medium-strength family-hauler has the kind of curb appeal to make luxury marques envious. With swelling front arches, a long hood and a bluff, trapezoidal nose, there’s an inherent “rightness” to the new ‘6’s proportions. There’s only so much you can do with a four-door sedan, and Mazda hasn’t over-egged the pudding as compared to a few other excessively bulging midsizers I could name. Better yet, Mazda’s new corporate grille puts an end to the goofy grins of the past. While the Mazda3 still smirks away like a lunatic, the ‘6 has a face that says “Serious Business.” The front end does put me in mind of a robot dog, but in a good way. Environment If the exterior checks all the styling boxes, the interior is perhaps a tad too conservative for some. Instead of trying to impress you with flash, the Mazda actually works. It pains me to think we live in a world where I have to label the Mazda6’s sensible knobs and simple three-gauge instrument cluster as “old-school,”

but there you go. I will say this, aside from the pseudoiDrive controller just back of the shifter, everything is intuitive and easy-to-use. Quite frankly, it’s a delight to jump in and drive a car without spending three hours reading the manual and watching YouTube instructional videos. Performance The long nose of the ‘6 isn’t just a styling feature; the layout of the Skyactiv-G engine below necessitates the packaging considerations. The Skyactiv engine has a very high-compression ratio, a racing-style 4-2-1 exhaust header and precisely-metered fuel injectors. These all combine to make a grunty engine that extracts the most from each gallon of gasoline and revs sweetly to redline. Features The Mazda6 line breaks into three trim levels: the nicely-equipped GS, higher-tech GX and all-thetrimmings GT. Standard features on the base model ($24,495) include Bluetooth, 17-inch alloys, heated seats, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers. Bumping up to the GS adds cosmetic features like fog-lamps and a little nicer trim, convenience upgrades like an Intelligent key, and safety improvements such as blind-spot monitoring and cross-traffic alert. Stop Sign Conservative interior; no V6 power; wind noise on the highway. Green Light Sporty handling; excellent fuel economy; sharp styling; smooth and dynamic transmission; manual option even on highest trim. Checkered Flag The full-size sedan every enthusiast driver has been asking for.

Little House receives a boost from Tsa. Legion SUBMITTED PHOTO

Wakorchuk said the Legion is pleased to support the Little House because it believes more needs to be done to address the issue of substance abuse. Stimson said the money would be used to provide education and support to reduce the harm caused by substance abuse.

“Get your life back” on the Canada Line @ Lansdowne Station

Blueliner goes Senior rugby in 4th round of WHL Draft Ladner blueliner Jordan Dawson was selected in fourth round (86th overall) by the Edmonton Oil Kings in yesterday’s Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. The 15-year-old played this past season for South Delta Minor Hockey’s Bantam A1 Storm team and recently was on the winning side at the B.C. U16 Cup in Salmon Arm. Meanwhile, Dawson’s former South Delta teammate Beck Malenstyn was taken in the first round (18th overall) by the Calgary Hitmen. Malenstyn has spent the past two seasons at the Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton. The Vancouver Giants used the number one overall pick to select Edmonton’s Tyler Benson. The later rounds of the draft were still being conducted at press time.

Kuss & Ross back in Hawks nest Coaching staff of 2006 provincial championship team return to guide junior “B” hockey club BY

am am pm pm

MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

A Back to the Future move by the Delta Ice Hawks will have a pair of familiar faces behind the bench next season. The Pacific International Junior Hockey League team has announced the return Shane Kuss and Roger Ross to over see the head coaching duties. The staff will be rounded out by assistant and former Ice Hawk Mike Basford. All three were part of the club’s only Cyclone Taylor Cup provincial championship back in 2006. Kuss left soon after to coach the Surrey Eagles of the B.C. Hockey League where Ross served as an assistant. This past season, Kuss coached the Delta Wild and will continue to work with the South Delta Hockey Academy team. Ross

was head coach of South Delta Minor Hockey’s Bantam A1 squad. “You’re going to see a scenario where Shane will be at 90-95 percent of our games,” explained Peter Zerbinos, Ice Hawks general manager and director of hockey operations. “That’s why we went with the cocoaching roles.” Soon after losing game seven of the PIJHL semi-finals to the Richmond Sockeyes, the Ice Hawks were made aware head coach Dave McLellan would not be Shane returning after two plus seasons at the helm. It didn’t take Zerbinos long to put the team of Kuss and Ross at the top of his list. “I would see both of them quite

often at the arena and they were always checking in to see how the team was doing,” he said. “These are two well-established and successful coaches not only at the PIJHL level but in the in B.C. Hockey League as well. They work so well together and it makes my job easier just knowing the experience they have.” Basford was a key member of the Ice Hawks blueline during his playing days. Soon after graduating, he shifted his focus to officiating Kuss and worked as a head referee at the tier II level of junior and as a linesman in the Western Hockey League. He coached in the Richmond Minor Hockey

Association this past season. “Mike is a good up-and-coming coach who knows what it takes to be successful in this league,” added Zerbinos. “It’s also great to have a younger coach on staff who the players can relate to.” The Ice Hawks have established themselves as one of the top programs in the PIJHL, winning the league title in 2012. They were the only team that managed to beat the Richmond Sockeyes in the playoffs this spring. The Sockeyes went on to win the PIJHL, Cyclone Taylor Cup and Keystone Cup — winning 15 consecutive games. Icing... The new coaching staff ’s first order of business is next week’s annual Prospects Camp which will offer spots in the club’s main training camp in August.
