Pt. Roberts tower proposal causing a stir Residents on both sides of the border upset about the prospect of the construction of five radio towers BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Residents on both sides of the border at Point Roberts are voicing concerns about a plan to erect five large radio broadcast antennas in the U.S. peninsula.

Whatcom County is considering an application from BBC Broadcasting Inc. to construct the 150-foot steel towers at an undeveloped lot on McKenzie Way, just west of Tyee Drive in Point Roberts, WA. It’s in close proximity to the border with Tsawwassen. The towers would transmit South Asian radio station KRPI, AM

1550, which broadcasts from studios in Richmond, B.C. Currently broadcasting at 50,000 watts during the day using antenna located in Ferndale, WA, the company has already completed a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) checklist for the project to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Several professional studies were completed, including a visual resources report that concluded the visual impact should be minimal. Another report states the towers do not appear to present a significant risk to birds.

The FCC last year granted a construction

permit for the radio communication facility, but a conditional use a permit is still required from the county.

A report by the Whatcom County Planning and Development Services notes the department has reviewed the application for potential adverse impacts and expects to issue a “Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)” for the project. A county hearing examiner must also give his stamp of approval following a public hearing.

A comment period, open only for residents on the U.S. side of the border, wrapped up last week.

Arthur Reber, a member of the Point

Roberts Community Advisory Committee, which organized a public meeting for concerned residents this week, told the Optimist there was little notification. He said many in the community only found out recently about the application.

“The mood of Point Roberts is, shall we say, the tar is boiling in the back and the folks with the feathers are plucking chickens to get ready for it. Others are building guillotines,” he said.

Noting the antennas have been problematic and hugely controversial in Ferndale, See TOWERS page 3

Delta staying away from GMO controversy

Council agrees that more information is needed before considering banning genetically modified food crops BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta isn’t following Richmond’s lead in passing a motion banning genetically modified food crops from being grown in the community.

Local politicians recently discussed the issue raised by a resident, who wrote asking Delta support a resolution at the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

Several municipalities have already declared themselves “GE Free” zones, including Rossland, Saanich and Saltspring Island.

Richmond council earlier this year also passed a ban, although some say it’s merely symbolic, because in Canada GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are regulated by the federal government.

Delta’s land base is mostly agricultural, but municipal council here has stayed away from the controversy over GMOs. Council agreed it needed more information on the issue.

Also referred to as biotech crops, GMO crops are plants where the DNA has been altered to introduce a different trait into the plant. The aim is to increase resistance to certain pests, diseases and environmental conditions, or make them pesticide resistant.

Noting that even the Delta Farmers’ Institute didn’t have much expertise on the subject, Coun. Ian Paton, who’s also a longtime farmer, told the Optimist

Delta council has yet to consider a motion banning GMO food crops. those in the business of selling GMO seeds will assure the product is safe.

He noted that as far as he’s aware, there are only a few crops in Canada, including corn, grown with GMO seeds.

“If you study on the Internet,

you’ll see there’s genetically modified seed for things like rice and grains like barley and oats and wheat. They’ve been modified to withstand greater lengths of heat and drought or frost and cold. It’s advances like that that have kept farmers going,” he said.

“If we all sat back and just stayed with the old technology, whether it’s genetics in grain cattle or beef cattle, or genetics in seed, we’d still be trying to farm as if we were in the ‘50s or ‘60s.

But the only really genetically modified seed that I can think

Residents on both sides of the border at Point Roberts are concerned about a proposal to build five radio towers.

Reber said residents have many concerns, including the likelihood of the powerful signal wreaking havoc with other broadcast signals as well as electronic devices.

Reber noted broadcast facilities may be seen as a necessary utility, however, the proposed antennas are for a Canadian radio station serving the Lower Mainland, and thus that infrastructure should be located in Canada. He said residents are planning a long fight, including a formal appeal to Whatcom County council if the application receives approval.

Living just a few feet

from the borderline, Tsawwassen resident Ralph Parker agreed there’s little doubt residents on both sides of the will be impacted by interference, including his Delta Amateur Radio Club.

“I thought what it’s going to do with other residents, and it’s going to be a large interference issue,” he said.

“It may be something that’s going to cause problems with the people at the border because being very close to all that huge amount of radio frequency energy, who knows what it will do to all their sensitive equipment on both sides of the border. On the

of in Delta is cow corn, which is totally different from the sweet corn for human consumption,” Paton said.

Coun. Bruce McDonald noted his colleagues wouldn’t be interested passing motions or bylaws in areas in which they have no jurisdiction.

“I have a difficult time getting involved in symbolic bylaws, like Vancouver declaring itself a nuclear-free zone,” he said.

“I have a real concern about some of the genetically modified stuff but I’m certainly not an expert on it. Farmers have been selectively breeding forever, so is that genetic modification? I’m not sure where the line is.”

The David Suzuki Foundation notes the safety of GMO foods is unproven and a growing body of research connects these foods with health concerns and environmental damage. For this reason, most developed nations have policies requiring mandatory labeling of GMO foods at the very least, and some have issued bans on GMO food production and imports, Suzuki says on his website, noting that’s not the case in Canada. Suzuki writes that Canadians are often unaware the foods they choose contains GMO ingredients. While environmental and food advocates lobby for labeling, other groups, like The Non-GMO Project, have created voluntary non-GMO certification to facilitate consumer information, he says.

Canadian side the other day, I asked them what they knew about it and they didn’t know anything,” Parker said.

Tsawwassen resident Greg Edwards this week wrote to Whatcom County Planning and Development Services asking why an engineering report that supports the application ignores the fact that thousands of Canadians live nearby. He also questioned a claim that the towers would be welcome because Point Roberts was an economically depressed community, a claim he says Point Roberts residents would consider is nonsense.

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington said it’s difficult to expect Washington

State officials to consider the impacts their decisions might have on individuals north of the border, and they have no obligation to do so.

“That said, I have indicated to them that we would appreciate it if they took into account the complaints U.S. citizens had in the first instance, i.e., the electrical humming and interference.

Respectfully requesting they recognize the impacts may continue to affect the residents of not only Point Roberts, but also their Canadian neighbours to the north, is about all we can do. Hopefully, Whatcom County will take the issue into consideration when making their decision,” she said.

Former Tsa. youngster grows up strong Chris Davies wins B.C.’s Strongest Man competition for the second consecutive year

...we look forward to

meeting you soon.

If you’re ever pinned beneath a boulder, or perhaps squished up against a wall behind a dump truck, you better hope that Chris Davies is around.

The six-foot-one, 310 pound North Vancouver resident, who grew up in Tsawwassen, is one of the few humans on earth who could single-handedly get you out of those predicaments, an ability he ably demonstrated earlier this month when he won his second consecutive B.C.’s Strongest Man competition.

The event in Kamloops included tasks such as pulling a 13,600-kilogram (30,000-pound) dump truck, flipping 375-kg tires, and lifting 160-kg Atlas stones onto a chest-high platform.

With the win Davies defended the title he won

last year in Hope in a competition that included what he calls the hardest task he’s ever attempted: pulling one of the monster tow trucks that was featured on the reality TV show Highway Thru Hell. The trucks weigh in at nearly 40,000 kilograms (86,000 pounds) and are normally used to drag semi trailers out of the ditch on the treacherous Coquihalla Highway.

“It feels like your entire body is about to explode,” Davies said about slipping on the harness and getting the massive truck moving.

He managed to move the truck more than 30 metres in less than two minutes.

The 33-year-old did, however, have enough left in the tank after each of the wins to hoist the championship trophy, which itself is no simple task.

“Yup, even the trophies are heavy,” said Davies, adding that the B.C. hardware tips the scales at around 60 pounds.

Davies, who left Tsawwassen right before high school, grew up as a huge fan of the World’s Strongest Man competitions that were shown on TV. A skateboarder and snowboarder, he got into bodybuilding, powerlifting and, eventually, strongman competitions in his mid20s. At his first competition — a local event in Port Moody — he finished third.

He hasn’t stopped competing since, fitting in events around his two day jobs as a construction safety officer and working part time at Rogers Arena. Strongman has taken him to competitions all over Canada, the Pacific Northwest and even farther afield to places like Orlando, Reno and Salt Lake City. At one stop he met his inspirations in the sport, the great Magnus Ver Magnusson, the Iceland native who holds four World’s Strongest Man titles.

“It was one of the best

Former Tsawwassen resident Chris Davies just won B.C.’s Strongest Man competition for the second year in a row. moments of my life,” said Davies. “I always watched him as a kid. Meeting him was one of those childhood dreams. Some people dream of meeting Michael Jordan, I dreamed of meeting him.”

Davies now has his sights set on following Ver Magnusson’s massive footsteps and making it onto the stage himself for the World’s Strongest Man competition. He’s already taken a couple of cracks at qualifying. In 2008 he finished 18th out of a field

of more than 60 at the U.S. Nationals, a good result but not good enough to qualify.

He tried again in 2010 but was derailed when he partially tore his triceps tendon and muscle.

Those looking to check out the scene will have a chance to do when the Pacific Coast Strongman competition comes to North Vancouver’s Shipbuilder’s Square Sept. 7. That will likely be the next competition on his calendar, said Davies.

Dredging yet to begin Residents, businesses frustrated with lack of action BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Frustration is boiling over as residents and businesses along the Fraser River wait for dredging to begin.

“It’s a bit of a frustration to try and figure out what’s going on,” said John Roscoe, chair of the Ladner Sediment Group.

“We’re sitting on our hands in anticipation that something’s going to happen.”

Late last year, after years of lobbying various levels of government the group finally saw some success with the announcement of a $10million project to dredge the secondary channels in the Fraser River in Ladner and Steveston. The project is a collaboration between Port Metro Vancouver, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the Corporation of Delta and the City of Richmond. The project is also supposed to includes funds for maintenance dredging for up to the next 10 years.

The announcement was

made in mid-December and, at the time, work was expected to begin in July.

There has yet to be any work done in the river and frustrations are beginning to run high with users and residents who live, work and do business along the waterway.

“There are areas that are getting very, very critical,” Roscoe said, adding that there are many channels that he will not take his boat down unless it is high tide.

“Up the river it’s just getting worse and worse.”

The silt buildup in the secondary channels of the Fraser River has been an issue in Ladner for many years.

The dredging of the Fraser used to be handled by the federal government, however, the secondary channels have not been cleared in over a decade and the build up is causing problems.

Until 1998, dredging of all channels was a federal responsibility. In 1999, the port authority took over dredging only the main navigational channel. Since then, silt has been building

up in the many secondary channels.

Tom Corsie, Port Metro Vancouver’s vice-president of real estate, who is overseeing the local channel dredging maintenance program, said this week that the process is progressing and an application to start dredging should be submitted to the federal government by mid-September.

He said that if all goes according to plan, the work could start as early as midNovember.

The application has been slowed somewhat due to additional testing that needs to be completed. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) requested the additional analysis because the proposal is to dump the dredged sediment near Orca whale habitat.

The whales are protected under the DFO’s Species at Risk Act and the government requires additional studies to ensure the material will not disrupt that habitat or harm the whales.

“We really have an obligation to prove to them that our project won’t impact that species in any way,” Corsie said.

Unfortunately, Brown’s health took a turn for the worse and he passed away peacefully on Aug. 13 at the age of 59. He was a sales manager for steel companies and was an avid sports enthusiast, animal lover and family man.

“We have been together for 20 years — he was my best friend,” Bishop said.

“We travelled a lot and we enjoyed a lot of the same things — good food, good wine, good times — we were very happy in our home.”

A celebration of life will take place at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Beach Grove Golf Course in Tsawwassen.

There are no financial implications and “no rescheduling of duties is required,” said Bishop.

Earlier this month, Bishop issued a statement to explain her absence from a July 29 regular council meeting.

At the time she said that her husband, Robert David Brown, had been admitted to the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, an endof-life care facility.

Brown had advanced stage melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

Bishop said he was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and had a successful operation.

“So we decided, we’re going to celebrate now (and go on a cruise),” she said,

duties until September to grieve for her husband, who passed away last week.

“I expect I will be back at my duties in September, taking the balance of August to grieve,” Bishop said.

Council granted Bishop an official leave of absence at an Aug. 12 regular meeting. A leave of absence permits a council member to be absent from regular council meetings, committee meetings and all other municipal meetings for the time required - in Bishop’s case, to deal with her loss.

She will miss just one regular council meeting on Aug. 26 and one Delta council/Delta board of education liaison committee meeting on Aug. 23.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW The signs haven’t made a difference.

Neither have the public pleas. So are we to believe that an education campaign is now going to do the trick?

Civic politicians did as expected last week and approved a three-hour parking limit for Ladner Village, acting on concerns from local merchants that their customers are having a hard time finding a spot in the commercial core.

The issue of employees monopolizing parking spots has been simmering for a number of years but it’s got to the point where the Ladner Business Association went to Delta council seeking some relief.

Councillors approved the requested parking restrictions but stopped short of issuing tickets, at least for now, opting instead to educate drivers about the need to heed the signs and leave the spots to the lifeblood of the area, the customers.

I can understand why Delta is reluctant to jump into the fray with both feet: the majority of those who would find parking tickets on their windshields would likely be locals, the same ones that pay property taxes and go to the polls every three years. There’s no need to alienate these folks if you don’t have to, but I wonder if the soft sell approach is going to achieve the desired results.

There are already all kinds of parking limit signs in the village that are routinely ignored for one reason: they’re not enforced. There are no repercussions to having your car sit for eight hours in a spot that’s designated for two-hour parking.

This situation has been highlighted in the media on many occasions and the LBA has repeatedly impressed upon employees and employers the need to leave room for customers, but the problem still persists.

A gentle reminder from a bylaws officer might give pause to some drivers, but most will see it as another toothless attempt that will do little to prevent them from finding the most convenient parking spot possible.

Should that piece of paper on the windshield be a fine, something that hits them in the pocketbook, then I think you’ll see an immediate change in behaviour. Perhaps it doesn’t have to get to that point, but history, and human nature, would suggest otherwise. *** While on the topic of traffic in Ladner Village, is it just me or do you get the feeling the road work at the corner of Trunk Road and Arthur Drive will never be completed? Just when it looks like it’s close, more asphalt gets ripped up. Finish it soon. Please!

Marina Gardens public hearing reveals Delta’s flawed system STEVE GRAHAM

COMMUNITY COMMENT In my last column I began a review of how the Marina Garden Estates modification application was approved in spite of the general opposition from current residents of the development and, in my view, the majority of people in Ladner.

I suggested that no Delta council should again approve a development to occur 17 years in the future.

In this column I will comment on the public hearing process for this development.

Ideally a public hearing is held to allow persons whose property will be affected by a development application to present their comments or questions directly to council. However the current council has allowed these hearings to become intricately staged events in which the expression of public

opinion is frustrated.

I attended the first night of the Marina Gardens hearing at municipal hall — a small venue. There was no room for the press at the press table, so I had to stand near the door to the foyer. It quickly became evident that most of the persons seated in the council chamber supported the application, while most of those seated outside in the foyer were local residents who opposed it.

(My own experience is that if Mayor Lois Jackson doesn’t want to see you, you get sent to sit in the foyer until you tire of it and leave; so I wasn’t surprised to see the residents opposing the application relegated to the foyer.)

The development company is a very competent organization, and it evidently arranged for its supporters to arrive early, sign up to speak first and get seats in the council chamber.

Many of these initial speakers had literate and polished presentations. Several were young people from other communities who had driven to Delta just to support the development.

It was alleged in the local press that the developer had brought in some or all of these speakers. In

The Optimist encourages readers to write letters to the editor. Letters are accepted on any topic, although preference is given to those on local matters. The Optimist reserves the right to edit letters and the decision to publish is at the discretion of the editor or publisher. All letters must be signed, dated and include the writer’s phone number

any case, the impression given that first night was that there was considerable public support for the development, and that hordes of young and old people living in Surrey and Langley wished they could live in a row house in Ladner.

I understand the actual Ladner residents, who had to watch these presentations on TVs in the foyer, got to speak the second night; but it was the first night that got reviewed in the press. I concluded the developer was an active participant in the public hearing process and competently presented whatever support it could gather.

The residents arrived late and were relegated to the foyer. They never had a chance.

The conclusions that I draw are (1) the public hearing system in Delta is flawed, and (2) real residents should arrive early, sign up to speak and grab the best seats. If the mayor sends you to the foyer, make a lot of noise or go home. You are out of the process.

In the next column, I shall review how council voted and whom the residents of Marina Garden Estates voted for in the last municipal election. It’s a case of you get what you vote for.

Letters to the Editor

Sidewalks need to be safe

Editor: Let me start by making two assumptions: 1. That sidewalks throughout Delta are made the width they are so that two people can walk sideby-side and so that two people can pass each other without having to step off the sidewalk.

2. That we have bylaws in place to ensure that the sidewalks will be free from any and all obstructions related to the “walkability” of such walkways.

I walk daily from 55th Street to English Bluff up one side of 12th Avenue

and down the other side.

Much to my dismay, I am often having to dodge, duck or go around tree branches,

it is the obligation of the homeowner to keep their trees, bushes and hedges well off the sidewalk area.

Perhaps it is time for the bylaws department to enforce their responsibilities and notify the homeowners that fines will apply if they do not clean up the situation.

This should not only apply to residences on 12th Avenue but throughout Delta. If I was visually impaired these intrusions would be a major hazard and could cause serious injury.

Don Browning

It would seem to me that it is the obligation of the homeowner to keep their trees, bushes and hedges well off the sidewalk area. hedges and bushes sticking well out into the sidewalk area.

A Community Farm

The unique opportunity to establish a Community Farm will become a legacy for all of Delta -- Where residents can experience the beauty of the land and see a culture of agriculture come to life.

Bridge jumping has to stop before injury occurs Editor: During this summer, there have been young people periodically jumping off Westham Island Bridge.

Not only from the bridge railings, but from the pilings that are around the bridge as well as from the

very top of the bridge.

Not only have the police been called but TransLink has been notified, since the bridge is in their jurisdiction. The young ones have no idea how the river works under the bridge or I’m sure they would think twice

before jumping. How sad it would be for a young one to seriously injure themselves or even to die because of what they are doing. Please parents, know what your young ones are doing in their spare time!

“To be able to play music is one of the few truly magical powers a person can acquire in life”

St. David’s Anglican Church

Awestruck When did you last gasp in wonder? Was it watching the fireworks, at the sight of a mountaintop view, or when you held your child or grandchild for the first time? Some moments in life are so wonderful they take our breath away. Wonderful – full of wonder. Awesome – inspiring awe and reverence.

Awesome has become a very popular word in recent years. It is used to describe everything from a good day at the beach to finding a bargain at the mall, even the latest must-see TV show. Like all living things, our language grows and changes, but if we devalue the word awesome to meaning merely excellent, or even just very good, what have we left to describe those moments in our lives

that are genuinely magnificent and awe-inspiring? It would be a sad day if our language were to become so impoverished that the incredible beauty of the Northern Lights and the miracle of new life were to be put on the same level as the latest ice cream flavour or sports car.

When people see something truly extraordinary, they will often sigh or say, “Ah.” It’s an automatic, even involuntary response. It has been suggested by those who study such things this may be the basis for the word alleluia, which means, God be praised. So the next time you witness something that makes you gasp, why not complete the thought with “Alleluia!” and give praise to the God of wonders.

nockout Theatre is getting ready to present its latest production at Earthwise Garden in Tsawwassen.

The youth-driven theatre troupe will stage Jane and the Giant Peach from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1.

The play is based on author Roald Dahl’s story James and the Giant Peach.

“I’m 19 but I can still have fun with kids’ books,” says director and founder of the group Zoe Wessler.

Wessler says she always likes to pick shows with a fantastic element to them along with a big emphasis on make believe. This play also fits

the location and has lots of roles the actors can have fun with.

“The actors are giving them their own twists and some of them are just hilarious,” she says.

Knockout has previously staged A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, and Alice in Wonderland.

This time around the show will have everything from talking bugs, robot sharks, to pirates and a giant peach, Wessler explains.

“My imagination has been in overdrive lately for it. There’s a lot of things in the story that seem kind of impossible to bring in real life without special effects,” she says.

She notes the group has a limited budget and the costumes will be kind of quirky.

“We’re making it all ourselves.”

There will also be quite a bit of audience interaction, including dancing, with this latest production, she notes.Wessler is in an acting specialization program at the University of Victoria but says the summer is her time “to explore all the different elements of theatre and I always end up to taking on a directorial role to do that.”

Jane and the Giant Peach runs from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1 at Earthwise Garden, 6400-3rd Ave., Tsawwassen.

There will be a show every night at 7 p.m. On the Saturday and Sunday there will also be a matinee at 1 p.m.

The show will move around different areas of the garden.

Admission is $10.

Dallying through the Dales

Area features small market towns, undulating pasture land BY

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS Optimist contributor

There is something about desolate landscapes that inspires awe. Standing at the crest of a pass between Wensleydale and Swaledale, I look out across the fells of Yorkshire, at the scudding clouds throwing patterns of light and shadow over the purple heather and bracken covered hills and I’m silenced by their stark beauty.

Behind me, a group of people walk gingerly around the edges of deep rocky fissures — known as the Buttertubs. These were used in bygone times by farmers who often had to travel long distances — usually involving overnight stops — to sell their produce in market towns.

The farmers would place their butter and cheese in sacks which would then be suspended in these cool

“Buttertub” caverns to preserve their freshness.

This is just one example of what undoubtedly was a hard-scrabble existence for the farmers and lead miners who lived and worked on these wild and lonely moors. When the mines closed down at the end of the last century, people were forced to leave Swaledale and look for work elsewhere. Most of them never returned. Today only a few scattered farmsteads endure the severe winters and the hills stretch bleak and windswept to the horizon.

Not all of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is barren wilderness. Wensleydale is picture-postcard pretty: green undulating pasture land where black-faced sheep graze — and occasionally amble across the road. Eighteenth century slate barns stand in the centre of hay fields, and low

be carried by t’men of t’village.”

On a hot summer’s day the whiff from the basket would get pretty strong, and the men would light their clay pipes to mask the odour. At intervals along the Corpse Way were barns known as “Dead Houses” where the weary pall-bearers could plunk the basket down while they went off to the local pub (“Laaike oower plaace ‘ere,” Alf says) to knock back a few tankards of ale and fortify themselves for the rest of the trip. “Noo-a-days,” he adds, “there’s a charity walk wha’s held every year on t’ Corpse Way.” The prize? A little lapelpin in the shape of a coffin!

The Dales are full of legends of giants, ghosts and blood-thirsty robber-barons.

In more recent times, however, it is James Herriot’s tales that have delighted readers. No visit to the

The TV series, All Creatures Great & Small was filmed not in Thirsk, but in Askreigg as well as several other locales in the Dales and I am as thrilled as any ‘Looky-Luke’ tourist to click several shots of Skeldale House and The Drovers’ Arms.

An old Yorkshire proverb says: “If tha does owt for nowt, allus do it for thysen.”

2013 Jaguar XJ a driver4s luxury car 7Old-fashioned6 stigma takes back seat thanks to current generation of styling BY

DAVID CHAO

Optimist contributor

The Jaguar XJ has been around since the late 1960s.

For most of that time, it featured a very definitive three-box look. Even as the other areas of the XJ saw significant changes, the model could always be distinguished by its traditional appearance.

As a result — Jaguar, and specifically the XJ — developed a stigma of being a bit “old-fashioned,” but that all changed with the current generation of styling. The fresh exterior is progressive and the sweeping lines are certainly a departure from the past models. In fact, the new generation of XJs are quite stunning in comparison to more traditional designs being utilized by its competitors.

For 2013, the base model receives a more fuel efficient V6 and a new, intelligent all-wheel drive system.

An eight-speed transmission is mated to all engines in the range and a start/stop system is standard on most models. Also, the upgraded Meridian sound system is available as an option for every model.

Design This mid-cycle refresh has not affected the exterior at all — Jaguar felt the current, bold styling was popular enough with buyers.

For those unfamiliar, the XJ’s body is dominated by its rearward sloping roof, giving it an almost fourdoor coupe appearance. The panoramic glass moonroof provides a pleasing element both inside and out.

This is also the area where you will find the car’s most polarizing aes-

Jaguar utilizes aluminium body panels to make the XJ one the lightest cars in this class. thetic feature: its blackedout C-pillars. These are meant to visually give the impression the windows seamlessly wrap all the way around the car.

The XJ’s headlights are Xenon bulbs with LED daytime running lights. The rear lamps are full LED’s designed to look like three

cat claw marks.

However, it may be what you can’t see about the body which has the most interesting news; Jaguar utilizes aluminium body panels to make the XJ one the lightest cars in this class.

Performance The most notable change with this mid-cycle over-

haul is the loss of the naturally-aspirated 5.0-litre V8 from the base model. It has been replaced by a more fuel efficient supercharged V6, which will also power the new F-Type sports car.

The 3.0-litre engine produces 340-hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque while achieving combined fuel economy of 10.8L/100km. Even though horsepower is down 45-hp, the architecture is based on Jaguar’s acclaimed V8’s to provide a refined and smooth power delivery.

The Supercharged and Supersport trims retain the same supercharged V8’s as last year, producing 470 and 510-hp respectively. The XJ Supersport remains the fastest model with a claimed 0-100km/h time of just 4.7 seconds.

Potentially, the most exciting change for the 2013 XJ is the addition of

Jaguar’s Instinctive AllWheel Drive system, standard on V6 models. This enhances all-season traction while keeping the sporty agility and steering feel of a rear-wheel drive car. In dry conditions, it has a rear bias, but the system can transfer 50 per cent of the torque to the front wheels if need be. Even with its aluminium body, the XJ still weighs nearly two tonnes.

Despite this, the steering is light and quick. The XJ manages its bulk through direction changes better than its competitors and its balance is impressively neutral. Especially if you engage dynamic driving mode, which firms up the suspension and gives you quicker throttle response.

The XJ admirably combines the comfort and See XJ page 19

August 23, 2013 The Delta Optimist A19

XJ from page 18 serenity you expect from “old-fashioned” Jag’s, with driving dynamics modern saloons should be envious of. The XJ offers driving excitement that its immediate competitors can’t match and it provides a feeling of a “special” car.

Environment The cabin is fresh and an enjoyable place to spend time, even after a long drive. Gorgeous leather and wood treatments adorn most surfaces, even the inside of the glove box and centre storage.

While previous XJ’s appeared large on the outside, interior space was in fact limited compared to its rivals. This is not an issue for the current XJ, especially with the long-wheelbase models.

Rear leg and head room is ample and there’s plenty of space up front for even the tallest drivers.

To help everyone maximize the driving enjoyment, the driving position and steering-wheel are ergonomically optimized and nearly perfect. And a first for Jaguar, a digital dashboard display replaces the traditional analogue gauges.

The central touch-screen display is good, but the XJ’s German rivals boast better

units. Also, some trim pieces, the air vents for example, aren’t up to the same quality as its competitors.

The updated navigation system and Meridian stereo are welcome improvements.

Another weakness of previous XJ’s, trunk volume, has been corrected with the current generation; at 520litres, its trunk size is more than the BMW 7-Series’ offering.

A digital dashboard display replaces the traditional analogue gauges.

Features The 2013 Jaguar XJ ranges in price from $89,000 to $128,500.

Standard equipment includes a 8” full colour HD touchscreen display, voice activated controls, front and rear parking aid with touch-screen visual indicator, rearview camera, blind spot monitor, dualzone climate control, power operated trunk, Sirius satellite radio, navigation system

with HDD mapping, keyless entry and keyless start Additional features, available as options or as part of packages, include 20x20 adjustable front seats with massage, adaptive headlights, adaptive cruise control, heated windshield, and extensive upholstery and trim choices.

Fuel efficiency numbers for the XJ AWD and the XJL Portfolio are 13.0L/100km city, 8.1L/100km highway and 10.8L/100km combined. The numbers for XJ/XJL Supercharged and XJ/XJL Supersport are 14.2L/100km city, 8.6L/100km highway, and 11.7L/100km combined.

Thumbs Up The interior of the 2013 XJ is as posh as past generations, and the exterior is impressive. Interior space has also been increased and the XJ’s driving experience really sets it apart.

Thumbs Down The styling is certainly bold, but it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. And while the cabin is charming, the technology and material quality may be a tad behind a few of its rivals, especially Lexus and Audi.

The Bottom Line The Jaguar XJ’s unique personality inside and out is what makes it so interesting to drive and own.

Ross heads Ice Hawks coaching trio

Former assistant takes on top job with junior hockey team with help from Mike Basford & Shane Kuss BY

MARK BOOTH

Pacific Standard Time.

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

It was a debut for more than a group of unheralded players when the Delta Ice Hawks opened their pre-season schedule on Tuesday night at the Ladner Leisure Centre.

With the Pacific International Junior Hockey League regular season still three weeks away, the Hawks used the exhibition tilt against the Grandview Steeler to ice a line-up chock full of rookies with many playing their first ever junior game. The line-up will look vastly different when Delta gets down to business against defending champion Richmond Sockeyes on Sept. 10 but at least the fans got an opportunity to see the new coaching staff for the first time.

The club announced back in May former coaches Shane Kuss and Roger Ross were returning and would be joined behind the bench by alumni defenceman Mike Basford.

The three will continue to work together but it will be Ross in the leading role as head coach.

Kuss has a paid position with the South Delta Hockey Academy and also is head coach of its Minor Midget team that will have a heavy league and tournament schedule this coming season. His time with the Ice Hawks will be limited but the club will lean on his extensive experience for everything from player development to game strategy.

Kuss quietly watched Tuesday’s game from a corner in the arena while Ross and Basford were behind the bench.

“Roger is in control of the team and he is our guy,” confirmed Ice Hawks general manager and director of hockey operations Peter Zerbinos.

“Shane will help out with practices and skill

We work very closely with (director) Ian Gallagher and the hockey academy so it’s a close tie in there and it all works out for the good.”

Kuss and Ross guided the Ice Hawks to their one and only provincial championship back in 2006. They went on to finish third at the Keystone Cup Western Canadian Championship.

That team included Basford who served as an alternate captain and was one of the key contributors on the blueline.

“These new coaches have been together for a

long time and are a very tight unit that I think will be very successful for us,” Zerbinos added.

“Basford brings a lot of experience and will be a bridge between the coaches and the players too.

“They know what it takes to win and the last time we went to Westerns all three were there.

We’re proud to have them back.”

The Ice Hawks will have a number of veterans returning, including goaltender Alex Anhert.

They will have to wait on the status of potentially more, including last year’s league scoring champion Mac Barden who is currently with Alberni Valley of the B.C. Hockey League.

Team B.C., which finished second to Ontario at the recent Canadian Bantam Lacrosse Championships in Winnipeg, featured local products Justin Smith and Brody Harris in the crease.

Smith aged up to play this past season with the Midget A1 Islanders while Harris was between the pipes for the Bantam A1 squad.

The process to crack the Team B.C. roster began with

over 100 players attending tryouts for four district teams.

They all attended a main camp in Surrey where 68 were identified to for the final tryout where 18 runners and two goalies were selected.

At Nationals, Harris backstopped B.C. to a 7-6 double overtime win over Iroquois to secure second place in the round-robin standings. Three hours later, Smith was in net for a 5-3 semi-final victory, earning game MVP honours. Both stoppers received awards during the tournament.

Tsa rower off to Worlds

The regatta runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 1, and is the highlight of the international calendar for high-performance athletes preparing for the next Olympic Games in Rio 2016.
