Huntington upset over minister meeting BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

The relationship between the municipal council and local MLA Vicki Huntington seems to be getting more acrimonious. “I certainly want to work with Delta and with Mr. (Delta North MLA Scott) Hamilton, but in the end cooperation is

a two-way street,” Huntington told the Optimist this week. It’s been obvious for some time there’s frostiness between Mayor Lois Jackson and Huntington, who at one time were political allies on council. The independent MLA had previously expressed frustration that Jackson, as well as council and civic staff, have been

bypassing her when it comes to dealing with local issues that have provincial connections. However, the issue didn’t really come to the surface until this spring’s provincial election campaign. Coun. Bruce McDonald, who was running for the Liberals in Delta South, got a negative reaction from the audience at the first all-candidates debate

when he stated the incumbent MLA hasn’t met with city council. The issue would also come up on several other occasions during the election, including McDonald’s campaign claiming Huntington didn’t have a significant role in the municipality securing funding for river channel dredging.

Marking a milestone

Delta’s fire department celebrates 50 years of career firefighting in the community BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

elta’s firefighters are this year marking a milestone in the department’s history — 50 years of having career firefighters. As Ladner, the first area of Delta with a non-native settlement, began to grow in the early 1900s, so did the incident of fire. The community’s fire department started out as many did at the time – with volunteers, and the task of fighting fires fell to local residents and merchants who would form bucket brigades. There were no water lines in the early part of the last century and to fight a fire residents would have to access water in wells and drainage ditches fed by the river. In 1911, a water system was installed along with fire hydrants and in 1915 the first local fire brigade was formed. Delta’s first fire hall was set up in the municipal barn at the north end of Elliott Street and an alarm system was established. After a serious fire in 1929, the municipality took a larger role in the development of the department. In 1943, the department had about 16 volunteers and Delta purchased its first fire truck. It was a right-hand-drive, open cab Ford chassis that was outfitted with a water tank and other firefighting equipment. The little fire hall in Ladner remained the only one in Delta until after the Second World War. Shortly after the end of the Second World War, residents living in the Beach Grove area began petitioning council for better firefighting in that area. In 1948, the group received a grant and built a small fire hall (Hall 2) on 16th Avenue and purchased a Studebaker fire truck. The next year, North Delta residents formed their own fire department (Hall 3) and work began on a new hall in Ladner (Hall 1). Things continued to grow and change after the war. In the 1950s, new trucks and

equipment were purchased. However, the completion of the George Massey Tunnel in 1959 — in addition to the opening of the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal and the establishment of Highway 99 — changed Delta, and the small fire department, forever. With the booming population and new found freedom with the establishment of the tunnel and highway, volunteer numbers began to dwindle as a significant number of residents began commuting out of the area for work. As a result, Delta hired its first full-time career firefighters in 1963 — Walter Husband, Kenneth Campbell, L.A. Davidson and John Tapio. Times have certainly changed over the years. As the area continued to grow, and volunteer numbers dwindled, more and more paid firefighters were hired. What started as a crew of four and three fire halls now stands at a department with 162

MEETING from page 1 Things boiled over this week when the mayor’s office released a press release thanking newly elected MLA Hamilton, who’s also a longtime member of Jackson’s council slate, for arranging a meeting last Friday with the provincial Transportation Minister Todd Stone. The minister, who was in town for a government photo op marking the near completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, also posed for a photo with Jackson and Hamilton. Noting she was not invited or given notification about last week’s news conference, Huntington told the Optimist she is normally invited to such events to be at least introduced as the local MLA. The mayor also instituted

a policy that only people who have contributed funds to a project will be invited to the stage or to speak, so the effect has been to keep her from the stage at every single event, Huntington said, adding that even Coun. Robert Campbell at one event got to raise the provincial flag. “Immediately after the last election (mid-May), I personally asked the mayor for an appointment and was told to contact her staff. We did and received the response that she was unavailable until at least the end of July and that they would call our office at that time,” she said. “Similarly, I invited Scott Hamilton to attend a briefing on student bussing that I had arranged with the Ministry of Education. He was unable to attend, but

I even copied him on my memo to the chair of the school board and superintendent. “Needless to say, I am disappointed that my attempts to work collegially on matters important to South Delta are being frustrated,” she said. “The meeting between Mr. Hamilton, the mayor and the minister of transport was held in Delta South and was solely about Delta South issues and my attendance would have been appropriate. At the end of the day, politics is about elected representatives working together on the issues that matter — outside of Question Period, MLAs are collegial and generally have a good relationship — regardless of their political affiliation.” Huntington added, “I hope that we can build a better atmosphere of cooperation in Delta...we have

firefighters (179 total staff) and seven fire halls. Husband, who still lives in Ladner, had been a volunteer for eight years when he was hired as the first paid firefighter in Delta. He said the men were stationed in Tsawwassen and North Delta as Ladner and East Delta continued to maintain a strong core of volunteers. The paid firefighters worked day shifts Monday through Friday with volunteers covering evenings and weekends. Times were different then. There were no radios in the trucks. Once a firefighter was dispatched to a call, there was no way to get updates, call in back up or know if any one else was responding. “You just looked in the rearview mirror of your truck and hoped to God that someone was following you,” Husband said, common ground, common constituents, and common issues. Working together can bring good results, but it requires the will to do so. And I think it will also require Mr. Hamilton to decide whether he wants to be an MLA for Delta North, or whether he wants to remain a municipal councilor — right now he is straddling the fence and the informal norms of protocol are being ignored.” Huntington noted, “Delta South elected an Independent MLA and I would hate to think this was a deliberate insult to the people of our community — once an election is over, the people expect our officials to respect their legitimate and democratic choice.” Asked to respond, Jackson noted she received the invitation to last week’s press conference just prior to the event and that it was

chuckling. Husband and his wife started a scrapbook when he joined the department in the 1950s. Over the years, he’s accumulated any and all information he can about the fire department, even after he retired as deputy chief in 1985. Today he has books and binders overflowing with photos, clippings and documents chronicling the changes in the department throughout the years. All that information, newspaper clippings and old photos were put to good use as the department got ready to mark 50 years of career firefighters. It formed the basis of a video looking back over the history of the department, which was shown at a special celebration last month. “I think for a lot of the younger people it was a real eye opener,” said fire chief Dan Copeland. Delta fire union (International Association of Firefighters Local 1763) president Brad Wilson, a second-generation Delta firefighter, said the event was organized to recognize the importance of having a career fire department. He said there was a lot of support for organizing the event and producing the video from the outset. “For the newer guys, their eyes were just wide open,” he said. To honour that and the anniversary, the department released challenge coins. One was given to each firefighter, current and retired. Challenge coins have become a tradition in the fire service in the last 10 years. The small medallion was designed by members of the Delta firefighters union, IAFF Local 1763, with input from management and incorporates different flashers and logos from years past as well as Delta’s coat of arms. It is meant to symbolize union and management working together to advance the department’s vision and mission goals. “Firefighting is a calling,” Copeland said. “You go into it because you have a desire to help people and solve problems.”

up to the province to invite Huntington. She was only informed late last Thursday afternoon that Hamilton was able to arrange the Friday meeting with Stone at municipal hall, a meeting that also covered non-Delta South topics. “Secondly, MLA Huntington infers that we are somehow conspiring against her when it comes to having her on a podium when a new facility is opened. Since I have been mayor, in 1999, it has been the corporation (of Delta) policy that only those levels of government or other financial contributors, be asked to speak at all openings of any municipal facility,” she said. Therefore, if the federal government makes a contribution, the federal government chooses the MP or minister that will attend the event to speak on behalf of

the federal government,” Jackson explained. As far as Huntington coming to the mayor’s office, Jackson said, “I have spoken with my staff and Vicki did call at about the time we were leaving for Norway. “This was to be a ‘courtesy’ visit, as I understand it, without a particular item in mind. My calendar is very, very full and the ‘trouble visits’ take precedence over the ‘courtesy calls.’ My staff stated that I could possibly be available from mid-to-late July and that when (assistant) Dona returned from her vacation she would contact the MLA. Simple as that. No conspiracy here, despite the fact that MLA Huntington is attempting to create one.” Jackson added she has always had an open door policy to talk with the community through meetings or e-mails.

Work at Ladner Trunk Road and Arthur Drive nearing completion BY

There is a light at the end of the tunnel for residents and business owners who have endured months of disruptions around one of Ladner’s busiest intersections. The construction at Ladner Trunk Road and Arthur Drive is entering the last stages of the project, Delta engineering director Steven Lan said this week, and the work should be “substantially complete” by the end of the month.

Paving is expected to start by the middle of next week and the intersection should be “fully operational by the end of the month,” Lan said. He said there will be a few more minor aspects of the project to be completed in the ensuing weeks like landscaping, which cannot be completed until fall. Work on the intersection has been on going in one form or another since January. Utility work had to be completed before the crews could start on improving the

roadway and intersection. Upgrades include: widening of Arthur Drive and lane reconfiguration to improve traffic flow; stamped and coloured crosswalks; a decorative sidewalk; landscaping with rain gardens; decorative street lights with banners and hanging baskets; as well as a concrete (wooden in appearance) boardwalk across the Chillukthan Slough.

Delta agrees to new funding formula with FVRL BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta will gain a modest saving after agreeing to a new funding formula with the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Council last week endorsed a recommendation that will see the municipality pay into the system under a revised formula, one that will result in a net decrease of 1.5 per cent on Delta’s library budget. It works out to approximately $48,000,

a saving that will be phased in over the next couple of years and allocated back to enhancing Delta’s library services. “This is as a result of numerous meetings between the manager of finance for Fraser Valley (regional library) and our director of finance, as well as other members. This is a much more predictable funding formula. We’re also pleased with going forward with a five-year operating agreement which sets out

our roles and responsibilities,” said Coun. Jeannie Kanakos, Delta’s representative on the FVRL board. Delta has three public libraries that are part of the regional chain. The FVRL is funded directly by its member municipalities, which contributed annually according to a funding formula that had been developed more than 15 years ago. The formula, called a true usage formula, has gone through several minor

revisions over the years, but there were concerns regarding the process, transparency and financial equity. That was evident the last couple of years when Delta council begrudgingly approved increases to its share of the library system. Earlier this year, the FVRL submission to Delta would see the municipality’s share increase by 2.65 per cent ($82,000 more than the previous year), bumping Delta’s total annual contribution to $3.19 million.

Council initially balked, but eventually approved the increase, making a familiar complaint about the steadily increasing costs. In 2012, council let its unhappiness be known about the FVRL wanting Delta’s portion to go up by 5.83 per cent, settling instead on a 3.3 per cent increase. Council this year also agreed to ask the FVRL to undertake a survey regarding library client services in Delta, as well as local

finance staff to provide an assessment of the fee structure and funding formula. In a later presentation to council, Mary O’Callaghan, FVRL director of corporate services, explained that library staff is constantly on the lookout for gaps in services and redundancies to make the system as efficient as possible. She also noted the funding formula had been in place since the 1990s, so it was time for a review anyway.

Boreen overcomes hurdles

SDSS grad awarded 2013 Shirley Claridge Memorial Scholarship BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Looking at 18-year-old Colton Boreen today, it would be hard to imagine how far he has come. The Tsawwassen teen graduated from South Delta Secondary School last month and was awarded the 2013 Shirley Claridge Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship is handed out annually to an SDSS student “who exemplifies academic diligence and who has experienced or supported another through a difficult life situation,” said Shani Dendy, Claridge’s daughter. “Colton is such a humble and kind young man with an incredible life story.” Today, Boreen is the picture of health and physical fitness. He’s active, eats a healthy diet and is even trying his hand at some amateur bodybuilding. This wasn’t always the case. At the age of four, Boreen was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer. After months of living in pain, doctors at B.C. Children’s Hospital found a tumour the size of a grapefruit surrounding his left hip. It was a rough time for his family. At the same time his younger sister Morgan was diagnosed with a seizure disorder. “The community helped a lot back then,” he remembers, adding that a trust fund was set up and fundraisers were held to help the young family deal with expenses as both children were in and out of hospital frequently. Boreen endured months

Boreen said he isn’t quite sure exactly what prompted it, but one morning in January 2012 he woke up and decided that he needed to make a change. “I went cold turkey,” he said. “No more bad food.” He started PHOTO BY SHANI DENDY watching Colton Boreen receives the 2013 Shirley Claridge Memorial Scholarship from Richard what he ate and Dendy, Claridge’s son-in-law. exercising, of chemotherapy.

Police attended and a K9 unit was deployed with negative results. Damage $300. • July 6, 4:36 a.m., 5100-block Whitworth Crescent: Complainant advised police that his daughter’s vehicle had been struck by another vehicle while parked in front of his house. The other vehicle and driver failed to remain at the scene. Investigators successfully followed a trail of engine coolant from the scene and located the vehicle involved in the accident a few blocks away. A young man admitted being the driver involved in the accident and was charged accordingly. Photos were taken of the accident scene and the vehicles involved and will be submitted for evidence. • July 3, 7:32 p.m., 5000-block 44th Avenue: Police responded to an

anonymous report of a possible fight at the field behind Ladner Elementary School. The suspects denied any intent to fight and no injuries were observed. As the odour of marijuana was detected, a search of a backpack revealed three small bags of marijuana and paraphernalia, which was seized. Consent search of another bag revealed a prohibited folding knife, which was seized for destruction. Suspects were warned, sent on their way and left without issues. Drug form submitted. • July 7, 1:15 p.m., 5500block Ladner Trunk Road: A driver was proceeding westbound on Ladner Trunk Road when he rear ended another vehicle. There were minor injuries in the vehicle struck from behind. Police and fire attended. The injured declined to be driven to a hospital. As an odour of alcohol was detected on the breath of the offending driver, two breath samples both resulted in fail readings. This resulted in a 90-day suspension and the impoundment of vehicle. • July 8, 8:55 a.m., 4600-block Evergreen Lane: Complainant called to advise that his car had had two slashed tires while parked overnight in the underground parking area. There are no witnesses and video surveillance canvass proved negative. Damage amount not specified.

Market put Ladner on the map TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW It used to be that if you told someone you live in Ladner, they would often need to scratch their head to figure out exactly where on the map you were talking about. The George Massey Tunnel would be the most often referenced landmark, with the highway to the ferry terminal also getting some cranial traction. Those with a natural bent might use Westham Island’s Reifel Bird Sanctuary as a guide, but for many, our little slice of paradise on the western-most edge of the region wasn’t necessarily top of mind. That’s changed in recent years and it has everything to do with an event that continues to grow in stature: the Ladner Village Market. The market not only helps identify our quaint little town, but actually brings people out to see it for themselves. Nowadays when you tell people you’re from Ladner, the response is often: “That’s where the market is, right?” Or even better: “Hey, when’s the next market?” Now in its 17th year, the Ladner Village Market has become an institution in these parts, drawing thousands to 48th Avenue on sunny Sundays throughout the summer (the next installment is this Sunday). It turns that stretch of road into a sea of humanity seven times a season as shoppers flock to the village in search of not only a wide range of products, but also to have a good time while procuring them. The reason the market has proven so popular is because the organizers have developed a successful template and stuck to it. They hand pick the 140 or so vendors, ensuring all sectors are adequately covered and that there’s sufficient variety to keep regular shoppers coming back. There’s quality live entertainment for every market, plenty of food choices and a festive atmosphere that makes what you buy often take a back seat to the experience you enjoy. The McKnights of South Coast Casuals, the Frasers of Heritage House Interiors and all the others responsible for the Ladner Village Market deserve a big thank-you for developing and maintaining a first class attraction. Even if you’ve already reached your seasonal limit on garden art or handcrafted jewelry (I know, there might not be such a thing for some people), the market still holds an attraction. At its very heart, it can simply be an enjoyable outing on a lazy summer afternoon, a destination that’s accessible via flip-flops rather than the family car. It’s a treasure in your own back yard. And it’s also helped to put Ladner on the map.

It’s time to clean house with the next municipal election STEVE GRAHAM

COMMUNITY COMMENT Delta council is about halfway through its current term. I have been musing about the current state of affairs. We know that three of the current six councillors are so thrilled with their municipal jobs that they decided to run for MLA in the recent election. Of these, Bruce McDonald and Sylvia Bishop were left in the minors, while Scott Hamilton moved up to the Bigs. We can expect McDonald and Bishop to be less than enthusiastic about having to spend another four years in the minors; but Hamilton is showing them that you really can have it all. Most people would be delighted to move on to a new job that pays three times more, but Scott Hamilton just can’t bear to give up his old one; so he is keeping them both.

One might wonder why. Is Hamilton concerned that a successor might not vote exactly as he would, thereby thwarting the true will of the people? Is he concerned that his quest to turn South Delta into the new Coquitlam might be vanquished? It’s just bizarre. It’s hard to believe, but it does appear that Hamilton went into the provincial election with no strategy about what he would do if he won. He certainly will fit in in Victoria; but he should resign his council seat forthwith. The folks that invested their time and money into Bishop and McDonald’s municipal campaigns are likely relieved that they lost in the provincial election, but they have to be wondering why they bothered and whether they will reinvest next fall. Who would support candidates who don’t want to be there? The public in Ladner is riled up about a rezoning, as is the public in North Delta, and soon the circus will return to Tsawwassen. So where is the mayor amid all this civic angst? Norway. It was reported in the July 14 Optimist that (1) the port has no intention

or plan to put a crude oil or LNG capability in Deltaport, and (2) the mayor and CAO are going to Norway nevertheless on the public tab to inspect crude oil and LNG facilities, notwithstanding (3) there are such facilities in Vancouver, Montreal and Halifax as well as Cherry Point, Anacortes, Long Beach and so on. Stuff like this makes the job of being an occasional Optimist columnist a pure delight. Simply put, the mayor and her entourage (she always travels with one) are off on a vacation to Europe at your expense. It sure beats listening to people whine about mega-developments. It’s not a precedent either. Remember the trip to India to ‘develop port business’? Or maybe you missed the small item on page 4 of the May 20, 2011 Optimist: “The contact with royalty was not finished, however, as Mayor Lois Jackson and her administrative assistant attended a reception and dinner [in London], and later shared the Royal Box with Prince Andrew.” That trip was otherwise unreported. Time to clean house next November folks.

July 12, 2013 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

The people have spoken Editor: Not too long ago there was a “divine right” to “rule and govern” by such proponents as Louis XVI of France and Czar Nicholas of Russia, both of whom lost their heads in the process because of their autocratic decisions and not listening to valid complaints by the “demos” — the people. Canadians consider their governments at all levels democratic. The people directly affected by council’s past and future decisions have spoken very clearly on several occasions not to entertain a proposal for developing the Southlands. When Krista Engelland ran for mayor she topped all polls in Tsawwassen with her outspoken opposition to Southlands development. When Sylvia Bishop ran for council, she also topped all polls in Tsawwassen because she opposed the Southlands development. Council received approximately 250 letters in favour

and about 1,250 against development. This should convince even the most compliant councillor that the demos, the people, have spoken. The argument that only a small percentage of the demos do not want development does not hold water when compared to the last

This should convince even the most compliant councillor that the demos, the people, have spoken. municipal election participation — it was decided by only 33 per cent of the population entitled to vote. Is the Southlands worth the additional staff hours of work at taxpayers expense to please a lean speculator — I don’t think so. The people most effected have clearly spoken. It is worth it to the developer? Yes, like several million dollars. The proposal is not worth it to the people who

have consistently opposed it. No, it is a degradation of Tsawwassen and its constituents. Has there been a thorough evaluation in light of the new flood construction levels? Has there been a thorough independent study of buildings on a flood plane? \Has there been a study of the potential hydrological problems of this annually flooded land? Specifically the demos, the people, don’t want to see in that process that this process might potentially take three years that would bestow 46,000 truck per annum, at 300 days a year and eight hours a day, one would enjoy 20 trucks per hour, or one every three minutes, followed by an untold number of cement trucks, followed by a multitude of lumber trucks plus pick up trucks for trades people. Only an autocrat could approve this scheme of the century. Siegfried Puetz

A10 The Delta Optimist July 12, 2013 Letters to the Editor

How can one claim Tsawwassen is stagnating?

Editor: Re: Community continues to change, letter to the editor, July 3 Yes, Mr. McLaren, this community continues to change. Since I’ve moved here in 1981 I have seen many changes including the Waterford, new apartment buildings, a new private school, the demolition of a couple of schools which made way for new homes, lots of infill development, Tsawwassen Springs development, and, of course, we have yet to witness the development of Century’s

Northgate or the two new apartment buildings on 12th Avenue, all of which have been approved by Delta council. I fail to see how one can say that Tsawwassen is stagnating. I wonder what the impact of currently approved but not yet started developments will be on the community and especially on traffic on 56th Street. While I recognize the right of everyone to express his or her opinion, I agree with previous letter writer Peter White in his criticism. Should development on

Southlands ever proceed, which I sure hope not, it will impact those of us who live in Tsawwassen and especially those who must use 56th Street to travel in and out of the community. It will not impact those who live in Ladner or North Delta. McLaren says that with growth comes a temporary increase in traffic, dump trucks, parking, etc. The proposed housing, commercial, etc. on 20 per cent of the agricultural property Southlands is high density and will not just bring a temporary increase

in traffic, dump trucks, parking, etc. It is estimated that 60,000 trucks of fill would be needed before any development can even begin. This alone means that the increase in traffic will be far from temporary. Since the development itself is estimated to take place over the course of 15 years, this is also hardly temporary A few months of temporary inconvenience in Ladner is nothing compared to what could happen here. As far as parking, we do not know yet how the devel-

opment would affect those living on 56th Street or in Boundary Bay, especially as the developer has reduced the parking that is normally allowed for new developments. I suggest that the proposed development would have many negative effects on those who live near the proposed development and in fact anyone who uses 56th Street. There are many other concerns, as well, as noted in the seven binders filled with correspondence on display at Winskill Aquatic

Centre. Within these binders, I see few names of residents who are anxious for the development to take place. The property now known as Southlands was purchased when it was in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Although removed from the ALR, the land is still zoned agricultural and in Metro Vancouver’s Green Zone. I believe that the entire property should remain agricultural and put to such uses. It is ideal for soil based organic farming. Jean Wightman

Any and all constructive expressions of opinion on civic matters should be encouraged

Editor: Re: Location matters in opinions, Murphy’s Law, July 5 As one of the letter writers who criticized Peter White’s blinkered opinion that in turn criticized Joyce Schmidt for daring to publicly comment in favour of the Southlands proposed development, let me now criticize what you write on July 5 — that can easily be taken to an inappropriate and ineffective extreme.

You argue — again in the instance of the Southlands as an example — for a greater local say on matters before the community. You make a general reasonable point, but you make it wrongly. Of course, people who may be looking at whatever happens in the instance of the Southlands (Tsawwassen), or in the instance of Marina Gardens Estates (Ladner) or in the instance of MK Delta Lands

(North Delta) will feel a somewhat closer attachment to whatever local development issues accompany those proposed initiatives. That only makes sense. Any argument they — or you — make, however, that suggests — sometimes much too aggressively and inappropriately and disrespectfully (as in the case of what Mr. White wrote) — that other members of the community who do not live in the community where

the particular development resides should essentially zip their lips is dead wrong. Full stop. Another letter writer — Tom Griffing — also on July 5, makes some sensible arguments in this matter. The developments that I mention as examples in this discussion affect the entire community in many ways. They don’t just change the view of people to the west of the Southlands, looking east toward Boundary Bay.

Delta isn’t a particularly large community. If somebody is doing something in Tsawwassen that raises concerns for someone living in North Delta or in Ladner then those people living in those “outlying” communities, as I believe some would have them defined, darned well better comment on those events. If they don’t then they’re failing their civic responsibilities. Isn’t that an issue that

we complain long and hard and publicly about every time another election rolls around? C’mon; we need to encourage any and all constructive expressions of opinion on civic matters. Or are you simply, by your editorial comment on July 5, trying to preserve another opportunity to write about political apathy when another electoral cycle descends upon us? Firth Bateman

Reach received a $1,500 donation from Tsawwassen Rotary.

Rotary supports Reach

The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen recently donated $1,500 to Reach Child and Youth Development Society’s teen social program. The program has a cost of $22,000 per year and is designed to help teach social skills to autistic youths. “The program helps these youths with prominent developmental challenges better connect to the community, fit in and have fun,” says Reach executive direc-

tor Renie D’Aquila. “Our many thanks to Rotary for helping with these funds.” Reach is currently raising $4 million to build a 20,000-square-foot community-based child development centre in Ladner at Memorial Park. Building in the heart of the community will remove access barriers, give more children the critical services they need and link families to other community services more effectively.

Tsawwassen teenager Julia Lowndes has raised over $1,600 for the Delta Hospital Foundation. Lowndes asked for donations instead of gifts at her 15th birthday party held last month. She’s following the footsteps of her older sister Michelle who raised money five years ago for the foundation. “I got really inspired towards that, too,” said Lowndes, noting her fundraising efforts will go towards ultrasound equipment at the local hospital. She also said she’s interested in pursuing a career in radiation therapy. Lowndes said she wanted to thank those who helped her raise the money and that she hoped others would consider donating to the foundation. Her party, or

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.

For further information contact the

DELTA COMMUNITY ANIMAL SHELTER 7450 - 80th St., Ladner 604-940-7111

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make nonlawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

8 am Holy Communion (BCP) 10 am Holy Communion (BAS) with youth & children’s programs

Finding comfort I recently had the opportunity to fly out to Michigan to see friends. My flight had a layover in Dallas, Texas. On my way to Dallas I was able to see both the fires and also the devastation it has caused, in Colorado. So much damage has happened in that area and to see past that destruction can be difficult at best. As I was staring down from plane, it reminded me of when I was growing up. I lived near a large forest preserve, and every few years, it seemed, the state government would have a controlled burn over the area. After the burn, I would go through the preserve along the trails and see how black and burnt everything was,

Wednesdays

but inevitably after a few months, the forest would grow and it always seemed greener. Going through those trails, it reminded me of the many times where my life was hit by some sort of tragedy. In high school it might have been pimples, in college perhaps exams, after graduation it was paying back student loans, and most recent the death of my niece. Every person goes through hard times and whether others consider it trivial or not, it is still hard to go through. During these times, what helps me, is my faith and the knowledge that even Jesus went through tragedies and hard times. While I find comfort, my life begins to grow green once again.

GORD GOBLE

Tsawwassen BIA president Randy Scott, executive director Barb Westlake, executive assistant Christiann Munro and events and communications assistant Matthew Norris with the Best in the West Merit Award. 2013 Awards

thank you!

The Matador

In April of 2013 at the BIA BC Annual Conference in Kamloops, the Tsawwassen BIA was thrilled to be awarded the Best in the West Merit Award 2013 in the Special Events category for their production of the Queen’s Jubilee Outdoor Movie Night. The event was a tremendous success with Tsawwassen folks flooding the park for a free outdoor screening of the Lion King and a chance to meet and mingle with the Queen (Mavis Lloyd) at her Diamond Jubilee. At 5:45 p.m. the headcount was 1,500 and by dusk it was well over

WIN a

2,000. BIA members hosted 20 interactive booths and tables to showcase their businesses in a festival atmosphere. Thirty-seven entries were received from business improvement associations and business revitalization zones from across British Columbia and Alberta in a number of categories, with only four entries being awarded in this Special Events category. The event required a great deal of hard work, and the BIA thanked Ana Arciniega, former executive director, for dedicating her time and energy to the success of the project.

Advancements in skin care

“the new 50 looks like 40” and “the new 40 looks like 30” It’s hard for the average person to keep up with the advancements in skin care.However these advancements make it very exciting to the skin care therapists at Atlantis Day Spa, because we now have so many tools to help our clients achieve amazing results and keep their youthful appearance longer. It’s no secret that“THE NEW 50 LOOKS LIKE 40” Atlantis Day Spa’s Skin Care Therapists have advanced training in the newest laser equipment to stimulate the skin within the dermis. These therapists also understand how to combine this technology with hands on Facials in order to treat the skin,achieving immediate and long lasting results. Laser Photo Facials eliminate brown pigmentation spots as well as red vascular lesions.Brown pigmentation spots and red vascular lesions are now more of a concern to clients when considering the signs of aging,than wrinkles; therefore laser photo facials are fast becoming one of the most popular treatments for preventing the signs of aging. Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels also lighten pigmentation and brighten the skin.Both therapies exfoliate the epidermis to the deepest levels and stimulate cell regeneration. As we age our epidermal layers (outer layers) of our skin increase in thickness,causing the skin to look duller and prevent our natural moisturizing factors to rise to the surface.The Dermis where blood vessels,collagen,elastin,oil glands and hair follicles are contained starts to lose density.These two factors lead us to believe that exfoliation removes the excess heavy burden of the dead cells to prevent dehydration and lines from forming.In the case of oily skin it prevents the oil from blocking in the pores under the build-up of dead skin cells that along with bacteria cause blemishes.When the skin receives any kind of exfoliation,it triggers a response in the body to produce more collagen,elastin and other moisturizing factors to rise to the surface to moisturize and protect the skin.Thus concluding that exfoliation is

good for all skin types. When combined,Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels offer amazing results.Then adding the advanced Laser Photo Facials,the results are unsurpassed by other therapies. While these advanced therapies are amazing at reversing the signs of aging,one shouldn’t forget that there are 365 days in a year and therefore we must remember the basics if we are going to maintain beautiful skin. Your home care is just as important to maintain beautiful,younger looking skin,in between your spa treatments. New advanced ingredients like Peptides to stimulate your own production of collagen and Anti-Oxidants that prevent free radical damage that lead to skin aging. The application of a good sun screen on a daily basis,rain or shine, all year round,is one of the most important tools you can use,because even when the sun doesn’t shine there are aging rays that cause free radical damage. There are so many options available to treat skin conditions in the spa from advanced age defying treatments to problematic acne skin, or simply to maintain healthy skin. We suggest that you ﬁnd an esthetician you trust to work with. Estheticians at Atlantis Day Spa are highly trained in skin care and have a number of professional and also pharmaceutical grade skin care products to help you choose your spa treatments and home care to achieve your best personal results.Receiving spa treatments will boost the results you can achieve,and using your personalized prescribed home care will maintain those results in between your treatments. Now you can become an elite MEMBER of ATLANTIS DAY SPA,to enjoy Beautiful,Younger Looking Skin all year round.See our ad below.

TESTIMONIALS “I have suffered deep muscle back pain for over 4 years now and have tried everything and nothing seemed to provide more than temporary relief till I tried the infrared heat sauna at Hawaiian Beach Salon and I now have better control of my muscular pain. I can easily go weeks between sessions before the pain returns. I was the ﬁrst client to use the sauna and I was truly a non believer I was yah whatever I have been in saunas before they do nothing more than sweat you... this was different the infrared heat really gets down into the muscle tissue and just loosens those knotted muscle good.”

Dr. Mark Sorenson, author of Solar Power for Optimal Health says “U.V.B. makes Vitamin D naturally - that’s why I am a regular tanner.” Finally visit researcher Dr. Cedric Garland on the web. Also Breast Cancer survivor Carole Baggerly (Grassroots Health). Some staff of Hawaiian Beach have sat in on 3 of her lectures - Powerful.

Podium finishes for Vipers and Blues

Rep girls soccer teams end outstanding seasons in fine style at Provincial Cup Championships Long and successful soccer seasons came to an end last weekend with local teams and players reaching the podium at the Provincial Cup Championships. In North Vancouver, the U16 Ladner Vipers and U15 Tsawwassen Blues both came away with medals at the Provincial “B” Cup tournament and it was nearly gold for both of them. The Vipers were within seconds off adding a B.C. title to their Coastal Cup championship when the Williams Lake Storm scored the equalizer deep in injury time and went on to pull off a 2-1 win in penalty kicks. Ladner’s run to the final included a huge 1-0 win over heavily favoured Kelowna in round-robin play. The girls also defeated the North Shore Vipers 3-1 and battled Pinnacles FC of Penticton to a 1-1 draw. “We are incredibly proud of what the girls have achieved this season — shared league title, Coastal Cup champs and now silver at the provincials,” said Vipers coach Dirk Schwuchow. The U15 Blues didn’t reach the championship game but they were near flawless en route to earning bronze. Tsawwassen had to win a wild card game to draw into the championships but quickly showed it would be a force to be reckon with. The locals dumped the Quesnel Strikers 4-1 in their opening match then battled Coastal Cup champions West

Vancouver Spuraways to a scoreless draw. The Blues closed out round-robin play with a 1-0 victory over the Nelson Selects, but the Spuraways were given the nod for the final by edging Tsawwassen 5-4 on goal differential. The locals went on to defeat Vernon United 1-0 in penalty kicks for bronze, while West Van blanked Powell River 1-0. Coaches Lisa Bremner, Angie Wells and Hank Enns are extremely proud of the girls’ performance, and the work ethic of each and every player. The girls have been dedicated throughout the year, playing strong and consistently at every opportunity. The team is full of amazing athletes. The solid defensive line of Monique LaRiviere, Mia Simpson, Sinead Swan, Jamie Wells, Andrae Coschizza shut down the attacks, and were backed by a stellar performance in goal by Damara Begin. There were tireless efforts by midfield players Lauren Joyce, Danica McCormack, Caitlin Worth, Taya Bremner, Brynn Johnstone and Emma Shaefer. The attack was driven by constant pressure of forwards Julia Sasaki, Ava Simpson and Ella Taylor. On the sidelines the job of videographer by Hermann Glokll kept the girls on their toes and looking good. Meanwhile, two regional selects girls teams were bringing home gold from the Provincial “A” Cup

The Delta Islanders have put themselves in an excellent position to repeat as West Coast Junior Lacrosse League champions. It’s just taken an unconventional route to get there.

ting together a solid 16-3-1 regular season. The impressive record was done with a patched-up roster much of the way as the club has been hit hard by the injury bug. “We’ve done well despite it taking a real community-like effort to get there,” said Islanders head coach Dave Haller. “We have had to rely a lot on intermediate A and B callups just to put a team on the floor, even goaltending help from Prince George. We are finally getting healthy at the right time of the year

but we still expect to be down four or five bodies.” Last season, the Islanders prevailed in a thrilling final series against Coquitlam and went on to lose the provincial final to Kamloops. They could very well meet up with the Adanacs again but Haller warned neither team can afford to look past their earlier opponents, especially in best-ofthree series. “Our only loss this season came against North Shore and the other

game was a very close win for us,” said Haller. “New West and Burnaby are excellent teams as well.” Dallas Chreyptk and Jordan Thauli have been setting the pace for a balanced Islanders attack with 49 points. The team received a significant boost when Sam Clare returned from his sophomore season with the SFU field lacrosse program and opted to play Junior B. He has 38 points in just six games, including 23 goals.

The all-star baseball season got off to an impressive start for the Ladner Midget AA Red Sox who captured the Surrey Invitational over the Canada Day Weekend.

charge at UBC

One of the most decorated girls softball coaches in Delta will be overseeing the UBC Thunderbirds women’s program next season. Gord Collings was welcomed by the Point Grey campus last week. The Tsawwassen resident replaces Phil Thom who stepped down after four years at the helm. “I’m very excited and honoured to be given this opportunity to coach at UBC,” said Collings. “This program has done very well since its inception in 2010 and now I hope to help it take the next step towards developing it into a premier program that can draw more kids to stay and play in British Columbia as opposed to going to the United States.” A former teacher and administrator in Delta school system for 33 years, Collings most recently was the head coach at Douglas College for five seasons, leading the Royals to the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges Championship Final in 2013 . He takes over a UBC program that is entering its fifth year of existence and is coming off its best season ever, finishing the year 25-21. Gord Collings “The opportunity to work with a fouryear program, to watch these young women develop over their careers, and to also help them achieve their goals academically is what attracted me the most to the job,” said the former high school principal and UBC alumni.” He has extensive experience coaching a variety of sports at the high school and club level. Collings has been involved with softball since 1992, originally working in Tsawwassen and Delta before moving on to Douglas College. He is currently the head coach of Team B.C. which will take part at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. In 2011, he led Team B.C. to a gold medal at the Western Canada Summer Games. He has coached current UBC players Yasmin Bains, Alana Westerhof, and Cassandra Dypchey on Team B.C. over the last number of years. His tenure locally included guiding the ’90 Delta Heat to the Canadian Pee Wee Championship in 2004. That team included his daughter Paige who recently wrapped up an outstanding collegiate career at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

Word Challenge Delta ’97 Heat finished fifth overall out of nearly 60 teams at a tournament in Oregon last month.

Solid showing for ’97 Heat at Oregon fastpitch tourney

Delta ’97 Heat girls fastpitch team more than held its own at a high-profile tournament in Oregon. The Hillsboro event featured nearly 60 teams in the U16A Division with entries from California, Washington, Nevada, Hawaii, Idaho, Alaska and Oregon. The Heat represented Canada in impressive fashion, placing fifth overall. After a slow start in a 5-2 opening loss to the Bellevue Blast, the girls rolled off four consecutive wins over Alaska (6-0), Hawaii (7-2), Idaho (6-4) and Washington (4-1) to reach the quarter-finals. Facing their local arch rivals, White Rock Renegades, the Heat fell behind 5-1. In their final at bats with two outs, Sierra Sherritt launched a solo home run to centre field to spark some life on the bench and in the crowd. Two batters later, Montana Monk electrified the crowd hitting an

over the fence home run, scoring Laura Baldry and cutting the deficit to one run. Unfortunately, a third home run was not in the cards and the Heat fell 5-4. The team was led by strong pitching performances from Taylor Woodward, Kendra Ho and Monk. Behind the plate, Jordan Britten-Yung, Maria Palmegiani and Danielle Martyniuk all demonstrated their strong arms, allowing only a couple stolen bases all weekend. Infielders Lauren Watson (2B) and Shelby Cumiskey (3B) ate up any ground balls hit to them. In the outfield, Baldry and Sherritt both threw out players at home plate and Kirstynn DeCicco made a great over the shoulder catch. Offensively, Martyniuk and Monk led the team with their bats and lefties Woodward, Watson and Tia Lore gave the opposition fits with their blistering speed on the base paths.

Audi delivers on sports hatchback 2013 S7 brings performance and power without sacrificing comfort or convenience BY

DAVID CHAO

Optimist contributor

The 2013 Audi S7 — the “sports” version of the already impressive A7 — is a car that brings an amazing level of performance, power, and prestige without sacrificing the balance of comfort and convenience. While the cosmetic changes that separate the A7 from the S7 are subtle, the extra oomph that the S7 brings to the table in the form of horsepower is significant and impressive indeed. Design The 2013 Audi S7 delivers superb performance but it can also help you run your “normal chores” — thanks to a functionality that can also impress. Some may not be fans of what could be described loosely as a luxury hatchback (at least in terms of the basic architecture sense), but this is by far the best looking example available. And, while looks go a long way in this segment, a dash of practicality can also sweeten the package. In the looks department, S models are dressed with a unique version of Audi’s single-frame grill, plus aero treatments on the front fascia and down the sides. Black brake calipers, aluminium optic side

mirrors, gray rear diffuser, quad polished exhaust tips and V8T fender badges are also featured on this model. Having said that, you really have to spend some time behind the wheel to get a true sense of what makes the S7 an S7. Essentially, that means better steering feel and flatter handling, to name just some of

the “upgrades.” And of course, there’s the out-of-this-world power upgrade thanks to the turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 with cylinder deactivation. This is the same engine found in the Bentley Continental GT but output here is 420-hp and 405 ft-lbs of torque — slightly detuned from the Bentley version. All S7s feature the most advanced quat-

tro all-wheel-drive system available. It has an active rear differential which not only splits torque to whichever rear wheel is demanding the most traction, but it also shifts power to the outside wheel when cornering to help you get through with less steering input. A lowered air suspension with variable damping and bigger brakes complete the package. Performance When set to Dynamic, Audi’s Drive Select system firms up the suspension settings and adds more responsive, weighted steering. It also quickens the throttle response, and with the pedal is pushed to the floor, the S7’s rear biased all-wheel drive system instantly hooks up and propels you forward. It takes only 4.7 seconds to reach 100 km/h, which is almost a full second better than the A7 with the top engine. Things are stable the whole way up to its 250 km top speed with firm shifts from the seven-speed dual clutch transmission, accompanied by a ferociously pleasant exhaust note. As fun as all that is, the S7 is just as entertaining to drive at normal, going-towork pace. See AUDI page 31

July 12, 2013 The Delta Optimist A31

AUDI from page 30 The only complaint? When in full auto mode, the transmission shifting can be a touch irregular under certain circumstances, but nothing out of the normal. The cylinder-on-demand system is virtually undetectable thanks to active engine mounts that quell vibrations. The S7 even has noise cancellation inside the cabin that eliminates any audible clues. The big advantage of this system is it helps improves fuel economy ratings to 12.7L/100km city and 8.3L/100km highway. Environment What really stands out about the 2013 Audi S7 is the sheer quality of the interior. It’s just extremely well made and the stunning interior design gives it a unique “flavour.” It’s the same gorgeous interior as found in the A7, although updates like Valcona leather seats with cross stitching makes the S7 distinct. The S-sport steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles, unique gray instrument cluster, aluminium pedals, and illuminated S7 labelled door sill plates also make the interior feel special feel. But as mentioned, the S7 isn’t only about image, it’s also practical. Being a liftback means easy access to the trunk, and while it might not be very deep, it goes back a long way. Of course, you can always fold down the rear seats if you need to carry larger items. Sitting in the rear, the S7 feels quite spacious. There’s plenty of knee room, and despite its sloping roof line, headroom is fine for all but the tallest people. The S7 is also a highly functional car as well with Audi’s intuitive MMI interface standard along with features like Bluetooth and a DVD player. But you do have to pay a price for such features and the S7 costs $20,000 more than the base A7. Features The Audi S7 is only available in one model and has a starting price of $89,300. The impressive standard equipment list includes a glass sunroof, adaptive headlights, rearview camera, heated seats in the front and rear, BOSE surround sound system, MMI touch navigation system, iPod integration, and Bluetooth Additional optional features are included in packages such as the Driver Assistance package which provides adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and Audi pre

sense plus; the Vision package boasting a heads-up display and night vision; and a Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System featuring 19 speakers for genuine 5.1 surround sound. The fuel efficiency ratings for the S7 are 12.7L/100km city and 8.3L/100km highway. Thumbs Up The 2013 Audi S7 is one of the most stunning four-door coupes on the road. Its interior is exceptionally comfortable and quiet, and the design is gorgeous. The power delivery is impressive. Thumbs Down The most polarizing aspect of the S7 is its foundation. Not everybody loves the idea of a high performance fivedoor design. Also, the base A7 is already a very good car and not every customer will feel the need to pay extra for the S7. The Bottom Line If you’re looking for long-distance comfort with superb performance edge, wrapped in an extremely stylish and functional package, the 2013 Audi S7 is clearly a great pick. Competitors BMW 650i xDrive Gran Coupe The 6-series Gran Coupe has power output that make most sports cars blush, fashionable good looks and the nicest interior available. The hydraulic steering makes it a pleasure to drive at speed but it struggles to adequately handle bumps partly due to the run-flat tires. At $99,800, the Gran Coupe is considerably more than its competitors, which also have more standard equipment. Mercedes-Benz CLS550 4MATIC The CLS-Class was the original four-door coupe and therefore it is the benchmark. On its own, the CLS550 has excellent road presence and, like all Mercedes’, is a great high-speed cruiser. It may have fallen a step behind the new comers, but its $84,800 starting price keeps it in the market. Porsche Panamera 4S Few names in the automotive world are as prestigious as Porsche. For $110,200 you can bring home a four-door Porsche with a 4.8-litre V8 and all-wheel drive. The Porsche Panamera offers customers a more pure driving experience, but as a result it sacrifices some practicality.

The 2013 Audi S7 is a great pick for drivers looking for a superb performance edge wrapped in an extremely stylish and functional package.
