Delta gets tougher on trees New legislation limits frequency property owners can cut trees without arborist’s report BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Civic politicians have strengthened Delta’s tree protection legislation.

Passed quickly and without debate at a special meeting last Wednesday afternoon, the new regulations are the result of a review of what other municipalities are doing as well as recommendations by the Delta Naturalists’ Society.

In a presentation to Delta council late last year, members of the society raised a number of concerns and recommended a tougher bylaw, making the municipality more proactive in conserving urban forests.

The last time Delta revised its tree protection bylaw was 2006 when it required property owners to obtain a permit and an

arborist’s report before cutting down trees. However, property owners were allowed to cut one tree per year for any reason, in most instances without having to pay the permit fee or obtain an arborist report.

The updated bylaw only allows one tree to be cut without an arborist’s report, or outside of an emergency, every 24 months instead of each calendar year.

Some of the other changes include requiring five replacement trees for every tree cut or damaged without a permit or contrary to a permit and removing the maximum of $2,000 for a permit fee to ensure applications for a large number of trees being cut pay their fair share. It also provides council with the ability to reject applications for 24 months for properties where

Legislation approved last week attempts to preserve Delta’s urban forest. trees have been cut in violation of the bylaw.

Noting Delta has experienced a decline in tree cover since 2004, a report to council stated there were 91 calls for enforcement related to trees last year, resulting in 15 tickets issued for cutting without a valid permit. Most inspections found that permits

existed for trees being cut.

During 2014, 2,403 permits for tree cutting were issued and 2,338 trees were removed. At 1,375, the majority of the permits issued were for the removal of a single tree.

“In 2014, there was a net loss of almost 900 trees in Delta, which is mainly attributable to the replace-

ment exemption for a single tree removed from a property in a calendar year,” the report states. “The proposed bylaw revisions and the new Urban Reforestation Project will help to ensure a net gain, rather than a net loss, in the number of trees in Delta.”

Noting council has adopted many of the recommendations put forward by the Delta Naturalists, society president Tom Bearss told the Optimist the amendments are a significant improvement and should help protect Delta’s trees.

The society’s Anne Murray was also pleased, saying the group hopes the bylaw will be accompanied by some positive messaging on the value of trees and perhaps some further recognition of heritage trees.

Tie vote at council leaves townhouse plan in limbo BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

The fate of a proposal to build a 23-unit townhouse complex in Ladner Village hangs in the balance after motions to both deny and approve the application ended in a tie vote.

The proposal came back to Delta council Monday night after being subject to a public hearing last week.

The current application is the third incarnation of the proposal, which initially garnered a significant opposition from residents.

A 23-unit townhouse proposal for Ladner’s 47A Avenue failed to get civic approval Monday.

The proposal looks to consolidate four properties at the corner of 47A Avenue and 48B Street to construct three-storey townhouses, which is a significant departure from an earlier proposal for a 47-unit condo development that drew the ire of the community last summer.

Most of the roughly half-dozen speakers at last Tuesday’s hearing voiced concerns, noting the density and height.

Councillors Jeannie Kanakos and Sylvia Bishop, and Mayor Lois Jackson, all expressed concerns about the proposal, noting problems with the amount of green space and other amenities for residents, the density and the number of visitor parking spots.

“I don’t think it’s acceptable that Delta streets become parking lots for larger developments,” Bishop said.

Councillors Bruce McDonald, Ian Paton and Heather King spoke in favour of the proposal.

“I once again look at this and wonder if the real con-

sequences of this motion are realized,” McDonald said, noting under the current zoning the developer could build a three-storey apartment building.

“What they came forward with is pretty attractive, in my view... I don’t believe we’ll enjoy seeing what will come forward next.”

King pointed out the development would be within walking distance of Memorial Park, Ladner Village and the dike.

“It’s close to downtown Ladner, that’s where we want our density,” Paton said.

With Coun. Robert Campbell missing the meeting for medical reasons, the vote to deny the application ended in a 3-3 tie.

McDonald then moved to pass third reading, but that motion also ended in a tie.

When a motion fails because of a tie vote, it can be brought back for reconsideration. Municipal staff was going to look into who could potentially bring the motion back; in some cases only the mayor has that power.

Torch Run coming through Ladner Three Delta police officers are among the hundreds this week taking part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The annual event, which started yesterday, will see more than 300 runners from various police departments and law enforcement agencies joined by 100 Special Olympics athletes on a run through the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Local officers A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow, Const.

Grayson Smith and S/Sgt. Debbie McLeod are all taking part this year and will be joined by Delta Special Olympian Kim Davies.

The run started yesterday in Abbotsford and took the

runners through the Fraser Valley. They were set to pass through Vancouver and the North Shore today, before heading to the eastern suburbs tomorrow.

The final day will see runs in New Westminster and Richmond before heading to Ladner.

The runners will start the Ladner leg of the run at Lions Park at 2:45 p.m.

The officers will make their way through the community, stopping at the Ladner Legion, on their way to police headquarters.

The annual event aims to raise funds, awareness and spread a message of respect and inclusion in support of Special Olympics B.C.

Rotarian Linda Ottho Leadership Award winner Rayna Sutherland is shown with Rotarians Ulf Ottho, Wayne Connorton and Susan Gage.

Rotary clubs join forces to honour outstanding youth The Rotary clubs of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta recognized 38 local young people at the seventh annual Delta Rotary Youth Awards earlier this month.

This year marked the introduction of the Rotarian Linda Ottho Leadership Award, an honour that recognizes a youth who stands out for their passion for volunteerism, giving back and paying forward.

“She was a bright light in our community and she lived the Rotary motto of

service above self,” awards committee chair Leslie Abramson said of the late Linda Ottho. “The family of Rotary misses her dearly and it is our hope that her spirit lives on through this award.”

Over 250 family and friends of the youth came out for the banquet.

“We hear so much about negative behaviour of youth in the media,” said Ladner Rotarian and committee member Melissa Granum.

“The Delta Rotary Youth Awards show us that there

is so much more good than bad in our community. These annual awards remind us that our future leaders are right here in our community and it is so important to acknowledge their contributions.”

The awards are handed out every spring and recognize youth that live in Ladner, North Delta, Tsawwassen and Tsawwassen First Nation. In order to attend the awards ceremony, a $2 donation and food bank item was encouraged.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW We’ve paid for the advice, so now it’s a question of whether we’re going to use it.

With the two mega malls at the Tsawwassen First Nation poised to change the retail landscape in South Delta, municipal hall hired a consultant to devise a strategy to ensure our commercial cores remain sustainable in the face of new competition. The consultant came back with a variety of suggestions, one of the biggest, and undoubtedly the most contentious, being to review density levels to determine whether they’re conducive to redevelopment efforts.

Development is a touchy subject around here at the best of times, but it will be interesting to see if the line that’s often drawn in the sand gets blurred at all given what could potentially be at stake.

When added together, Ladner and Tsawwassen have about 1.2 million square feet of commercial space; in contrast, the two malls will drop 1.75 million square feet of new shopping space on our doorstep in about a year’s time.

It’s going to be difficult for Tsawwassen’s business district to withstand this type of progress when its biggest mall is stuck in the ‘70s and you have to think that Ladner’s retail core stands a better chance of retaining and attracting customers if the waterfront actually becomes some sort of destination.

If these commercial areas are to be at their competitive best, however, some amount of the redevelopment that’s alluded to in the consultant’s report is going to have to take place.

And for that to happen, it will require willing property owners, willing Delta council members and, most importantly, a willing public.

The three groups haven’t always been on the same page when it comes to what they think is best for the business districts, but in the spirit of sustainability, which is really just a nice word for survival, they simply have to come together.

As much as some will argue that densification efforts are simply developers trying to squeeze more profit out of their projects, the issue goes well beyond that narrow view.

Redevelopment acts as a catalyst that ultimately benefits the entire commercial core, allowing it to better compete with the inevitable draw of the TFN malls.

It adds vibrancy and gives shoppers, whether they are locals or visitors, a new reason to frequent an area.

We have no say in the behemoths taking shape at the edge of town, but we can’t lose sight of the fact that we very much control how we react to them.

One year to get malls, and roads, ready for shoppers TOM SIBA

COMMUNITY COMMENT As well reported in last Wednesday’s Optimist, the new shopping malls on the Tsawwassen First Nation are due to open in about a year.

Now that the super structure is up, it’s more obvious what a large project this is. At 1.75 million square feet, the combination of Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons will be one of the largest shopping malls in the province.

Hopefully the roadwork will be complete by opening day.

Joan Hansen, in a recent letter to the editor, bemoaned the ongoing turmoil at the intersection of Highway 17 and 52nd Street.

Whatever they are doing in terms of reconfiguring the roads and increasing the traffic lanes does seem like it has been going on forever.

I wish I had the concession for traffic cones. The suppliers must be making a fortune on this project. I must admit I am glad the cones are there. Many times heading home I

was totally bamboozled by where the lanes were supposed to be, but keeping the cones close to my right hand side usually got me to the 52nd Street intersection where I had a 50/50 chance of turning into the correct “lane.”

I still don’t have a clue how it will all work when it is over.

Adding to my confusion are the large concrete structures that have been dropped at three of the corners at 56th Street and Highway 17, but nothing on the southwest corner — yet. It is like coming upon Stonehenge and wondering: “What the heck is this all about?”

With the openings a year away, the local retail business communities are concerned about competing against the malls. The number one idea to compete is signage directing transients to the commercial cores of Ladner and Tsawwassen.

Perhaps the large concrete structures are the base for some really large (and heavy) signs.

If you want to see what a large new mall does to an existing downtown core, one only needs to head down the I-5 to Bellingham.

Before Bellis Fair, Bellingham had a vibrant downtown with several stand-alone department stores.

Downtown Bellingham is not now what it once was, but it has built back on professional and government services and restaurants and coffee shops. And the line-ups at

the Trader Joe’s in Bellingham suggest you don’t have to be in a mall to be successful.

Here in South Delta, I think Ladner will fare better than Tsawwassen when the malls come.

Ladner has a more vibrant and cohesive downtown core. The stores in the core have already overcome the opening of the malls on the other side of the slough and the smashing success of the Ladner Village Market shows the capability of the business community.

The other thing that would help Ladner is better use of the riverfront. It could certainly be more of a tourist attraction. It has worked for Steveston and could work on a smaller scale for Ladner.

Tsawwassen might have a tougher time. The current business centre will probably remain as a service centre. Professional services are unlikely to move to a mall and the restaurants and coffee shops will likely stay in proximity to the local population.

All the condo development going on in Tsawwassen should help with increased local population. So I don’t see a gutting of the current business areas. There will, however, be more choice with the malls — assuming the roadwork is completed and they survive.

Cyclist’s injuries show what can happen when dog not on leash

Editor: “Dogs must be kept on leash” signs are not a casual suggestion. They are there for the protection of the public.

Having owned a dog, I know firsthand that dogs need to run and explore, which is why public money has been put into designated dog parks.

I also know dogs can be unpredictable and do not stay close to their owners, especially if they are not on a leash.

A month ago, I was seriously injured by a dog on

the Ladner dike, which is an on-leash area. At one point the dog may have been walking alongside its owners’ bikes, but then suddenly crossed over into oncoming pedestrian and bike traffic, running across my path.

I was knocked off my bike, suffering a broken bone in my shoulder and abrasions to my face, elbow and leg.

I will not be able to work for six to eight weeks, have lost my enjoyment of an active lifestyle and the pain has been both physically

and emotionally draining.

As well, I have become dependent on family and friends to cook for me, do my house and yard work, and drive me to appointments and therapy.

I need help with simple self-care skills such as dressing, bathing, cutting up my food, tying my shoelaces and fastening my seat belt.

My life has been turned upside down because the dog owners who claim to be a nurse and paramedic did not act in a responsible way and obey the law by putting

their dog on a leash.

Over the years, I have had dogs rush at me or jump up on me or my friends on public walking trails. The owners’ response is usually, “He’s friendly.”

That’s not the point. Not everyone wants to get this close to unfamiliar dogs, particularly when serious injuries result.

So, please, keep your dog on a leash in public places and take them to a dog park so they can run around and be with other dogs and dog enthusiasts.

Office for premier’s proposed bridge should be located where affected commuters live Editor: Re: Now is time to pressure gov’t to include light rail on bridge, Community Comment, May 27 I just read that M.L Burke visited the Ironwood Plaza office for the proposed bridge. I have heard through the grapevine about the office, but am perplexed and frustrated at its location, so haven’t made it there yet.

Why did the Ministry of Transportation put the info office in Richmond? I hazard to guess the majority of Richmond residents could care less about the plan for a bridge, yet the vast majority of Ladner and Tsawwassen residents care very much, as most of us commute through the tunnel many times a week.

So, why isn’t the “spin doctor” office put where the

people who will be affected live? Are they afraid we might not buy their dog and pony show of why we so desperately need a mammoth new bridge?

Why are we not hearing the business case for twinning or replacing the tunnel instead? A bridge will take up huge swaths of land on both sides and add more visual and audible traffic noise, ugly on/off ramps

and wreak havoc on Deas Island Regional Park.

The real reason for the bridge is to allow huge boats up the Fraser. A twinned tunnel would alleviate any traffic concerns and be so much easier on the land and community.

But our premier thinks otherwise. Who exactly did she consult before announcing the bridge?

A10 The Delta Optimist June 3, 2015 Letters to the Editor

Developers don’t give a beep about neighbours Editor: The development of Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons appears to be progressing on schedule and my sense is the overall project is generally well managed. There is one area where Ivanhoe Cambridge, the developer of Tsawwassen Mills, is demonstrating a significant lack of consideration for the

community it is working beside.

I live in Imperial Village and am fortunate to have an easy commute walk to work at Century Square. For over two years now I have been listening to back up beeping from the work on this project, very often at all hours of the night and almost every day.

There are many

Saturdays where Imperial Village is generally quiet except for an overlay of back up beeps; there have been periods of time where it goes on until 3 a.m. or later. It is now 8:30 p.m. on a very nice spring evening and the construction noise is not bad but the beeps carry over everything.

An alternative to the monotone beep is made

by Brigade Electronics in England and distributed in Canada by Hella. This sound is more direction specific and is much less obtrusive outside the limited zone where it is needed, dropping off at a much shorter distance.

This technology is legal in B.C.; it is used by Whistler and a recent news report referred to a recycling facility that switched to this system to minimize neighbourhood impact.

I have suggested more

than once to Ivanhoe Cambridge representatives that this technology be investigated. I have had some response, indirectly, and have been told that while this new technology is legal in B.C., it is not mandatory and they cannot make their contractors use it.

Effectively I have been told that what they are doing is legal so they will do it. “Legal” is a very low bar for conduct or behaviour.

There are costs involved, but they are not high and the techniques learned at this site will be available at the next projects undertaken. Why not get ahead of the inevitable regulatory changes?

I expect that if one or two Ivanhoe Cambridge executives lived on Cliff Drive or in Tsawwassen Springs, the few thousand needed to mitigate this sound would have been spent some time ago.

MLA should have been included in meeting

Editor: Re: Doctors present business case, May 22 According to the story, Health Minister Terry Lake convened a meeting on May 19 of interested people in Vancouver to discuss the situation at Delta Hospital.

Finally hosting a meeting is greatly appreciated by those who live in South Delta.

In reading over the article, I noted that our MLA, Vicki Huntington, was not in attendance. I have subsequently learned she was not even invited. I must say I

am amazed by this. She has asked about such a meeting in the legislature and was the MLA who presented a petition with over 11,000 local people. Yet she was not invited?

The minister’s staff is not serving him well by this kind of action. Huntington is our MLA, the MLA in whose riding the hospital is located and the MLA who filed our petition in the legislature.

Were I to conclude this is a “bare knuckle” political move, I would want to

suggest to the minister it is not appropriate. He is the minister of health for all of us in B.C., not just for those whose ridings may be Liberal.

I humbly suggest that Huntington, as the elected member of the B.C. legislature for this area, is owed an apology, the staff member arranging this deserving a reprimand and an effort by the minister to ensure she is involved in future discussions around health matters in Delta South.

Hwy. signs needed to steer visitors our way

Editor: Re: Malls to change retail landscape, May 27 The interesting piece in the Optimist has made me think and there are several points that need mentioning.

Signs and their location on Highway 17 are definitely necessary and need changing. Right now, coming from the ferry, we are invited to visit Ladner by a new sign just before the

Tsawwassen turn-off, but there’s not a single mention of Tsawwassen, other than the sun sign from days of old.

And something needs to be done to provide an “entrance” to Tsawwassen; something like relocating one of our heritage homes and putting a tourist information office in it.

Looking at the comments, I can see “they” don’t know Tsawwassen

if all there is here is Centennial Beach. I can think of a lot more: Boundary Bay Regional Park with its dike trail all the way to Mud Bay; Gallery 1710 with work by all local artists; the Tsawwassen Arts Centre where the Sidekick Players have regular performances; gateway to Point Roberts; palm tree boulevard; Fred Gingell Park; etc.

Missing baskets missed a lot Editor: To the woman who on Wednesday, May 19 at 4:26 p.m. stole my two beautiful flower baskets on Bridge Street, I forgive you. You also need to know that I miss them very much.

They adorned both the front and back of my office to the delight of my patients, and to anyone who walked or drove by on a

daily basis.

I planted the red and white geraniums, bacopa and the long-stemmed spikes myself with a lot of TLC. Attending to them, and seeing them flourish, gave me a lot of pleasure and comfort.

Your premeditated action is well documented and indicative of no aspiration of having them returned to

me. My only hope is that in your zeal to acquire these beautiful flowers, you or to whom you might have given them to, will take good care of them.

I would have been very pleased to create similar flower baskets of your own and with you to take away.

All you had to do was ask me.

Sprinkling restrictions in place Seasonal lawn sprinkling regulations took effect Monday to help conserve water in Metro Vancouver.

As always, they will be in place until Sept. 30.

Watering lawns is permitted in the morning but prohibited during evening hours when demand is highest for domestic uses like dishwashing, laundry and showers.

These restrictions apply to lawn sprinkling only and not to watering of flow-

ers, vegetables, shrubs and trees.

• Even-numbered addresses are permitted to sprinkle lawns from 4 to 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

• Odd-numbered addresses are permitted to sprinkle lawns from 4 to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

“With this year’s record low snowpack and unseasonably warm start to the summer season, we encour-

age all residents and businesses to do the right thing and conserve water whenever possible,” said Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore.

One hour of lawn sprinkling uses as much water as 25 toilet flushes, five loads of laundry and five dishwasher loads.

The demand for water doubles during the hottest days of summer, to as much as two billion litres of water a day.

A14 The Delta Optimist June 3, 2015 Environment Week

Week has roots in Delta

Canadian Environment Week is a time for grassroots action to help preserve, protect and restore our environment.

This annual event provides us all with an opportunity to celebrate the progress that has been made but also to encourage further efforts all year long. It is important to remember that every effort counts, big or small.

Canadian Environment Week takes place the first week of June to coincide with World Environment Day, which is marked on June 5 of each year.

This year, Canadian Environment Week is celebrated May 31 to June 6.

The idea for Environment Week emerged in 1970 when

former prime minister John Diefenbaker noted the “tremendous energy, enthusiasm and initiative” of young people concerned about pollution.

Diefenbaker approached the House of Commons with the concept of setting one week a year aside to focus on environmental issues.

Later that same year, Delta MP Tom Goode pursued Diefenbaker’s idea by introducing a bill to designate Canadian National Pollution Awareness Week.

The bill was passed in the House of Commons, but to draw attention to all aspects of a healthy environment, the name Canadian National Environment Week was chosen.

Small actions can result in big benefits for the environment Getting involved is the first step towards preserving Canada’s environment. Celebrate Canadian Environment Week by helping to sustain the environment.

Here are ideas and activities that you can do that will make a difference. You can participate anywhere and at any time.

• Instead of washing your car yourself, take it to a car wash. This saves more water than you think.

• Turn your yard into a sanctuary for local wildlife by planting wild flowers, supplying water and setting up a bird feeder.

• Turn your thermostat

down by a couple of degrees.

You may find that you do not even notice the difference.

• Install compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) wherever possible, for maximum energy and money savings.

• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. This will help save hundreds of litres of water annually.

• Wash your clothes using cold water. Many detergents clean just as well

in cold water.

• Feed the land, not the landfill. By composting kitchen scraps and yard waste, you can cut your garbage by one third.

• Take public transit or

carpool. Not only will you help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will save you money on fuel.

• Instead of wrapping your lunch in aluminum foil or saran wrap, use reusable containers.

• Turn off your hard drive when you are not using your computer. This will double its life and save energy.

• Reduce the amount of bottled water you drink.

Every time you use a reusable mug, you are saving one disposable cup.

• Walk short distances to the mailbox, grocery store or school and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A16 The Delta Optimist June 3, 2015 Environment Week

Simple actions go long way to protecting planet There are many ways to take action on protecting and preserving our natural environment. Getting involved is the first step towards protecting the diversity of life on Earth.

Many of the tips below will help protect our environment and save you money too: • Trees are essential to the planet and to humans.

Plant a tree and reap the many benefits.

• Get a green bin and

start collecting organic waste.

• Avoid waste by using reusable cloths and rags instead of paper towels to clean.

• Instead of using chemicals and paper towels to wash your windows, try vinegar, water and a squeegee.

• If space is limited, try growing organic vegetables in containers or window boxes.

• Have a garage sale to

help recycle your unwanted items. Someone’s trash is another’s treasure.

• Just because you throw something away does not mean it is gone for good.

You have only just moved it to a landfill. So instead of throwing something in the garbage, recycle it instead.

Old homework papers, cardboard and newspapers are examples of things you can easily recycle.

• Donate electronic equipment to specific recy-

It’s easy to go green by incorporating environmentally-friendly habits in your daily routine. cling groups or recycle them. This will help reduce pressure on landfills.

• When buying wooden fencing and garden furniture, consider whether the

At Westshore Terminals, we take our environmental stewardship responsibility very seriously.

That’s why we utilize industry leading dust suppression systems.

That’s why we have a state of the art water plant that enables us to spray recycled water back on to our coal stockpiles.

That’s why we have MAMU’s (Mobile Air Monitoring Units) to observe air quality in various locations in our community.

That’s why we have a remote surveillance station to monitor incoming and outgoing coal trains.

And that’s why we have a latex spray system for empty railcars.

Come and see for yourselves with our Summer Site Tours on the weekend, all summer long from July 4-5 through August 29-30. Call to reserve as space is limited (604-946-3453) At Westshore Terminals, every week is Environmental Week.

wood is from a well-managed forest. Deforestation is a serious problem in some areas of the world, leading to loss of topsoil and flooding, among other problems.

• When replacing hardto-reach light bulbs, such as exterior porch lights, switch to energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. You will not have to change them for up to seven years.

• Use your window coverings to help warm or cool your house.

• Make your home more energy-efficient through improved insulation, caulking and weather-stripping.

The less energy you use, the less impact you have on the environment.

• Install and use a programmable thermostat. For every 1° C you lower your thermostat, you can save two per cent on your heating bill. A reduction of 3° C at night and when you are away during the day provides optimal savings and can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by half a tonne.

• When not using devices that have a “phantom load” unplug them, or plug them into a power bar and turn that off.

• Hang your clothes to dry. The lint collected from the dryer’s filter: that’s your clothes slowly disintegrating.

DSS grads walk the red carpet Students star in Hollywoodstyle event PHOTOS BY

GORD GOBLE

Family and friends lined the front entrance to Delta Secondary last Friday afternoon for the annual Grad Walk. Graduating students arrived in style and then walked the red carpet in pairs as cameras captured their every move. After the Grad Walk, students from the Ladner high school went downtown for a banquet before returning for Dry Grad that lasted into the early morning. Check out www. delta-optimist.com for almost 100 images from the event.

Polishing up her skills in preparation for new job There’s an intriguing name behind every bottle Peonies and a Kiss me at Midnight.

Hmm, I thought. I could get into the name game.

Heck, to be paid money to gaze at a bottle of coralcoloured nail polish and decide that it should be called Morning on Maui — does it get any better than that?

The beautician carried on, and I carried on imagining.

My work — if you can call it that — would take place in some grand spalike ballroom. There would be gurgling water features throughout, fuelling the inspiration. The place would smell ever-so-sweetly of pine, or of lavender, or of eucalyptus.

And all I’d be required to do all day would be to sip on herbal tea and decide which colour should be called Love at First Night and which should be called the Promise of Paris. Hey, I could be really, really good at this.

“Well,” asked the beautician, shaking me out of my reverie. “Have you decided

BARBARA GUNN

LIVING MATTERS I’ve landed on the perfect job.

Have no idea how I’d find it or where I’d go to apply, but I know it’s up my alley.

The clarity came when I was at the spa. I was having a pedicure. The beautician was working her magic, and my feet were starting to sing.

The beautician handed me some four dozen samples of nail colour, and instructed me to ponder the options while my tootsies were having a soak.

I checked out the hues — and the names. At one time, they might have been called Pink or Red or Blush or Mauve. Not any more.

There was a Tickle my Fancy. There was a Second Honeymoon. There was a French Quarter and a Berry Daring and a Play the

on a colour?”

“Oh,” I said. “Let’s see.

How about we go with Morning on Maui?”

The beautician looked puzzled.

“That must be a new one,” she said. “Maybe show me which it is?”

I flipped through the samples.

“Gee,” I said. “Can’t find it. I think I must have imagined it.”

“OK,” said the beautician. “So which one would you like?”

I pondered Incognito in Sausalito. Wasn’t crazy about the colour, but absolutely loved the name.

I considered Matte Silk Road. A bit unexciting in hue, but terrific in title.

“Let’s see,” I said. I’d narrowed the choices down to two.

“I think I’ll go with — Affair in Red Square!”

“Yes,” said the beautician. “One of my favourites.”

It would also quickly become one of mine — never mind how it looked on my nails.

Tsawwassen Legion donation funds modernized equipment $12,000 to go towards two medication carts for Delta Hospital’s ER The Delta Hospital Foundation recently received a $12,000 donation from the Tsawwassen Legion to fund modernized equipment for the ER. A long-time supporter of Delta Hospital, the Tsawwassen Legion has donated over $100,000 since 1995.

The recent donation will go towards a muchneeded replacement of two medication carts for the ER, both of which have been in use at Delta Hospital for the past 20 years. With an increase of 43 per cent in patient visits over the past five years, and with the number of acute cases steadily rising, modernized carts more suited to the busy ER will greatly assist hospital staff in their treatment of patients.

The donation will also cover the cost of electrically operated parallel bars, vitally important for rehabilitative and physical therapies, helping people

The Delta Hospital Foundation announced last week that Rachel HislopHook has been selected as the 2015 winner of the Robert T. Reynolds Memorial Scholarship.

The $1,000 scholarship is awarded in recognition of Robert T. Reynolds, a member of one of the Delta’s pioneer families who devoted much of his time and energy towards obtaining a hospital for Delta.

Hislop-Hook was chosen for the scholarship, which is open to all Grade 12 students residing in Delta, for her impressive history of volunteerism, community service and a stellar academic and sporting record.

Since she was 13, Hislop-Hook has shown her dedication to helping others by volunteering with a long list of social service and community organizations as well as playing an active role in her school community, where she has received a large number of awards.

Her volunteering experience has included weekly visits to an assisted living and care home, helping community organizations provide meals in

Richmond and Downtown Vancouver, volunteering as a counsellor at summer camp and being a member of the Delta Youth Legislative Advisory Council.

Within her school community, she has been actively involved in the student government, tutored other students in math and has been a member of the Rotary Interact Club, where she also held the role of president in Grade 11.

Hislop-Hook hopes to combine her academic talents, passion for science and compassion for others in a career as a doctor.

She has been accepted to the faculty of general science at UBC, with plans to apply to medical school in 2019.

“On behalf of the Reynolds family, the Delta Hospital Foundation is so pleased to recognise Rachel’s achievements so far, and support her with her career ahead,” said Veronica Carroll, executive director of the Delta Hospital Foundation.

“Rachel’s passion and energy for helping other people is remarkable and we can’t wait to see where her studies take her.”

Pioneers & Nanaimo pull away from pack BY

MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

The Ladner Pioneers could run the table and still not clinch first place until their final regular season game.

The West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association has quickly unfolded into a two horse race and, ironically, it’s the season opener that only separates the Pioneers and Nanaimo Timbermen.

Ladner began the 2015 WCSLA campaign with a lowscoring 5-3 home floor win over the Timbermen back on April 23.

Since then, the locals have reeled off six straight wins, including victories last week over the TriCity Bandits (14-5) and North Shore Indians (12-5). Meanwhile, Nanaimo has more than kept pace with nine consecutive wins.

With the next nearest team barely over .500, the Pioneers and Timbermen are expected to remain neck-and-neck until they meet again July 11 on the Island.

“When I first saw our schedule, I thought those games at the start and the end of the season against them would be big and here we are,” said Ladner head coach Bob Taylor. “I really expect everything to be on the line when we go there for that Saturday night game.

“First place is huge because you want to have home floor (advantage) throughout the playoffs. They are always tougher at home and you don’t want to have to make the extra trip there.”

It is becoming more apparent the Bandits’ seven-year run as league champions will end this season. The Coquitlam-based club hosted the President’s Cup last year and lost a significant number of players.

“They decided after last season it was time to rebuild, basically a year after we did,” said Taylor. “I think it is over for them.”

The Pioneers broke a tight game open against their longtime rival with six unanswered goals in the second period Thursday night.

The Bandits also fell to Nanaimo on Sunday and now sit at 4-4 on the season.

Rookie Sam Clare paced the attack with seven points, including a pair of goals. Ryan Keith added a hat trick and two assists.

Jordan Thauli, Cory Williamson and Travis St. Germain each scored twice. Matt Morehouse made 35 saves.

One night later in North Vancouver, former Pioneers stopper Nathan Wilson allowed the Indians to hang around for two periods before Ladner pulled away for the comfortable win. Wilson

Coach honoured

DELTA BY FLIGHT

FACEBOOK CONTEST WINNER Longtime coach and Delta Sports Hall of Fame inductee Maurice Hamlin was honoured with a special appreciation award at the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association’s annual year-end awards ceremony. The Tsawwassen resident suddenly passed away on March 22. PCAHA president Cindy Secord (far left) presented the award to Hamiln’s wife Heather and their children Jacqueline and Richard.

Former Canadians Musil & Gawdin in Buffalo for NHL Scouting Combine A pair of former standouts with the Greater Vancouver Canadians are among 120 prospects invited to Buffalo this week for the NHL Scouting Combine.

Glenn Gawdin and Adam Musil were teammates during the 2012-13 B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season. The 1997-born forwards were also first round Western Hockey League Bantam Draft picks who went on to play for the Swift Current Broncos and Red Deer Rebels respectively.

Musil played for the South Delta Minor rep program before shifting to Burnaby Winter Club for two years of Bantam.

His family moved to Tsawwassen when his older brother David played for the Vancouver Giants.

His father Frank Musil played 15 seasons in the NHL.

Gawdin is from Richmond where he played for Richmond Minor up until his second-year of Bantam when he shifted over to Seafair.

He helped Canada reach the podium at the recent U18 World Championships in Switzerland, scoring twice in the bronze medal game against the host country.

Gawdin was listed 59th among North American skaters in the final NHL Central Scouting rankings. Musil was right behind him at 61st.

The six day NHL Scouting Combine will give amateur scouts and general managers an opportunity for 1-on-1 interviews with the prospects at First Niagara Center.

The medical examinations of each player will be on Thursday, and fitness testing will take place Friday and Saturday at HarborCenter.

CONGRATULATIONS Shannon McDonald.
