Quebec Olympian Joelle Numainville completed a hattrick by winning all three of the women’s races at last weekend’s Tour de Delta.

Despite some raindrops, the 16th edition of the annual cycling weekend was “really successful,” said B.C. Superweek

director Mark Ernsting.

“The spectator turnout, I think, was the most that we’ve seen to date,” Ernsting said.

Tour de Delta, which featured approximately 200 professional

cyclists, was comprised of three races: the MK Delta Lands Criterium on Friday in North Delta, the Brenco Criterium on Saturday in Ladner and the UCI-sanctioned White Spot Delta Road Race on Sunday in Tsawwassen.

The start/finish line areas, especially at the criterium in Ladner, were “jam-packed” with spectators, he said.

Recovery to take decades Environmentalists say fire will have impact on Burns Bog for years to come IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

In the aftermath of the 78-hectare fire that burned through parts of Burns Bog last week, environmentalists say it could be a decade or more before the bog fully recovers.

Steve Taylor, a research scientist with the Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria, said generally speaking the fire will have many negative effects on vegetation and trees that will impact the environmental set-up of the bog for some time.

“Maybe some of the smaller plants might be fire tolerant and might survive, but one of the effects of killing trees is they suck water out and it can effect the hydrology and how that part of the bog reacts,” Taylor said. “There are direct effects on trees, vegetation, soil impacts — lots of things to consider to

A fire that burned 78 hectares of Burns Bog was fought from the air and ground. fully understand how long it will take to recover.”

Richard Hebda, curator of botany and earth history at the Royal BC Museum, has a vast knowledge of Burns Bog. He did graduate work in the bog in the 1970s and has taken part in various studies and with groups looking at the science and preservation of the bog for years.

He said it could take

decades or longer for the bog to recover depending on how deep the peat hectares burned.

“In the old days when there was fire activity in the bog, the fires seemed to have burned in a patchy way and wet areas didn’t get burned, so those were the sources for the peat moss to grow and spread out over the burned areas,” Hebda said. “But since the

drainage largely associated with the edges of the bog have been used for industrial development, agriculture or the landfill, the edges of the bog have become drier and now support a higher growth of trees.

“When a fire burns now, it burns much more intensely and not in this patchy manner and it consumes what is on top and

burns into the peat. And since the water table is not as high as it used to be, that peat surface acts as a place for invasive species to grow, which can have devastating effects.”

Hebda said the Scientific Advisory Panel and Metro Vancouver have had discussions with the Corporation of Delta and the fire department to create fire break.

“What that might look like, we have just had preliminary discussions, but the nature of it might be to reduce the fuels at the edge of the bog, especially those that can get the fire going into the canopy and the pine trees,” he said.

“This has the benefit of helping the water table rise. When you remove the trees, the trees are no longer pumping water out through evaporation, so the water table should rise.”

Crews leave as Burns Bog fire now fully contained IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The Burns Bog fire, that at its peak was 78 hectares in size, has now been fully contained.

The Corporation of Delta confirmed Monday morning that no new areas of concern have been noted and crews have been taken out of the site.

According to a news release, apart from a small Metro Vancouver Parks patrol unit, B.C. Wildfire Services and Metro Vancouver Park crews

have also returned to their respective bases.

“Delta Fire (Department) will liaise with Metro Vancouver Parks and coordinate an aerial scan with a thermal imaging camera this week to look for any areas of concern. The cause of the fire is still under investigation,” the release stated.

At Delta council Monday night, there was a recap of the fire mainly from fire chief Dan Copeland, covering the response from firefighters and supporting agencies,

and what was done to contain the blaze.

Possible cost figures were not mentioned during the presentation, but in a short interview with the Optimist following the meeting, Delta CAO George Harvie said the costs are still being determined but should be “sizable.”

He said costs should be known by the end of the month.

An all-out assault on the fire began July 3 when more than 100 firefighters, including 40 from Delta,

a bird dog, two air tankers, four water skimmer planes and five helicopters attacked the blaze from the ground and the air.

By July 4, Delta firefighters were joined by 45 firefighters from the B.C. Wildlife Service, 22 Metro Vancouver firefighters and support from two medium helicopters.

Forward progression of the fire was stopped by the night of July 4 and by July 6 ir was fully contained.

From July 9 to 11 crews began to reduce their presence at the site as the

clean-up began.

It was actually quite moving to be on the site and be part of the incident command, Copeland said.

The different agencies involved “just unified together and went after a common goal,” he said.

B.C. Hydro has completed its assessment of the damage caused to 18 electricity poles. In addition to replacing them, crews will need to rebuild a distribution line and transfer undamaged power lines.

2-3 times/week How long have you been involved in this activity?

3 years What made you start getting active and into fitness?

I joined a friend who wanted to improve his health. He has diabetes and blood pressure issues. It was a motivator for me to improve my health too.

What do you like best about this activity?

I enjoy the challenge of my fitness routine, and I get to visit my daughter while I’m here.

How does it benefit your life?

I am healthier for it, and it helps to release my stress.

What are some other activities you do to keep active?

Roller Hockey. I’ve been playing at Stardust since 1971!

As you grow older, an active lifestyle is important for your health—it’s not only good for your body, but your mind, mood and memory too!

Gary knows the importance of a fitness routine to keep him on track and motivated to accomplish his active lifestyle. Do you? If you are starting to exercise but finding it hard to keep on track, follow these tips: • Commit to a schedule and routine for at least 3 or 4 weeks so that it becomes a habit.

• Find activities you enjoy so your workout is something you look forward to.

• Stay motivated by focusing on short-term goals, such as reducing stress or increasing your energy, rather than goals such as weight loss which can take longer to achieve.

• Start slow. If you haven’t been active for a while, it can be harmful to start rigorous exercise right away.

• Build up your routine little by little. Space workouts in ten-minute increments twice a day, or try one class a week to start.

At Delta recreation centres, Parks, Recreation & Culture staff are here to help you be healthy and active! We can help you build a routine or choose a class. Pick up a leisure guide at a recreation centre near you, call 604-952-3000, or visit Delta.ca to explore drop-in activities and fitness classes or register for a program.

Delta council gave fourth and final reading to the Century Group’s Southlands development Monday to put a decadesold controversy to rest.

The project includes 950 housing units in various forms and densities and approximately 80,000 square feet of groundorientated commercial space. Century will give Delta 170 hectares (425 acres), about 80 per cent of the total Tsawwassen property, to be used for agriculture, natural habitat, public open space and greenways.

Mayor Lois Jackson, who was sick but took part in the Southlands discussion via phone, called it “a historic decision” and encouraged councillors to support the application.

She also thanked staff and noted there have been “thousands and thou-

He also said Delta will get $9 million to help fix the drainage and irrigation, an issue he noted was a historic problem with the property.

Coun. Sylvia Bishop, who was acting mayor, said she had nothing new to add to previous comments detailing her opposition to the proposal but did say that, “I feel my job then, as long as I’m on council, is to make sure that everything that has been promised is delivered to the minimum and even improved upon if possible as we go forward through the 15- to 20-year build-out.”

Afterwards she told the Optimist final reading was predictable.

“The support for it has been consistent all the way along, and I have been also consistent in my lack of support for it.”

The market may not be as hot but house prices continue to rise in South Delta.

The latest figures from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver for June found last month’s sales were 28.1 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month and rank as the highest selling June on record.

However, while it’s still a so-called “seller’s market” out there, it’s a decrease of 7.7 per cent in sales from May 2016.

“While we’re starting to see more properties coming onto the market in recent months, the imbalance between supply and demand continues to influence market conditions,” said board president Dan Morrison.

The “benchmark” price for a typical single-family detached home in Ladner last month was $1,042,800, a 1.6 per cent increase from the month before, which is among the lowest in the region. However,

Although it was the highest selling June on record for the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, prices locally didn’t rise much. it’s still a 40.1 per cent increase from June 2015, which represents one of the highest increases in the region over the past year.

In Tsawwassen, the benchmark price was $1,272,500, a 1.2 per cent increase from the month before. While the monthto-month increase from May was near the bottom of the region, the 46.8 per cent increase over the year is still among the top.

Meanwhile, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes North Delta, says consistent with the preceding two months,

June saw a record setting number of sales, but continued easing off since this year’s peak in March.

“Demand for Fraser Valley homes grips the market, tightly. Still, we are seeing a slight leveling-off that while not drastic, is giving both buyers and sellers a bit more room to maneuver,” said board president Charles Wiebe.

In North Delta, the “average price” of a detached home last month was $949,145, just a 0.1 per cent increase from the previous month. Over a year the price has jumped 33.7 per cent.

Impaired driver ingested an entire pharmacy!

IMAGE VIA DELTA POLICE TWITTER

Delta police released this image of a urine sample test result from a “drug impaired driver” this week via social media.

According to police, the driver was pulled over a couple of months ago after a traffic violation.

He originally tried to get away but ended up getting stuck in a cul-de-sac.

A drug recognition expert was eventually called to the scene to perform field sobriety tests, which the driver failed, police noted, adding the driver was arrested, issued a 24-hour roadside suspension and a violation ticket for driving without a driver’s licence.

“This week, the results of the urinalysis came back with quite the list of substances... The 25-yearold man is now also facing criminal impaired driving charges,” read a post on the Delta police’s Facebook page.

VSA issues odometer rollback warning to Delta car buyers Tong receives lifetime ban after at least 30 vehicles affected The Vehicle Sales Authority of B.C. (VSA) is warning car buyers in Richmond and Delta to avoid the purchase of vehicles associated with Arthur Tong, Delta Well or New Star Motors due to the deliberate illegal sale of vehicles with tampered odometers.

Tong had sold these vehicles while posing as a

private seller.

Following a detailed investigation and hearing, Ian Christman, the registrar of motor dealers, cancelled the dealer registration of Delta Well Ltd. dba New Star Motors and the salesperson licence of owner Tong.

Tong was issued a lifetime ban and is to have no affiliation with a motor

dealer in B.C. During the investigation and initial suspension of the motor dealer, the VSA supervised the return of over $118,000 to 30 consumers, including the buyback of two vehicles.

In the May 24 decision, the registrar determined that, after openly admitting to routinely rolling back odometers, “Mr. Tong

was not apologetic and compensated consumers only after being caught.”

It was also apparent that Tong showed “no indication of remorse or any evidence of rehabilitation or insight into the impact of his actions.”

As a result, the VSA says there is concern Tong might continue to engage in unlawful activity as an unlicensed seller, or curber, and might continue to pose harm to consumers.

The VSA is asking that consumers who have knowledge of any current unlawful or prohibited activities by Tong, or who may have been affected by his actions in the past but were not located during the course of the investigation, to contact the VSA. The Vehicle Sales Authority is a delegated authority with the mandate to license all motor vehicle dealerships and salespeople in B.C. It has authority to administer and enforce the Motor Dealer Act, portions of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations. The VSA also offers consumer assistance and dispute resolution.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

t’s not hard to envision what might have been.

I was on the South Fraser Perimeter Road over the weekend, and as I approached the Tilbury Industrial Park stretch from the west, the car began to smell like a campfire might be burning in my trunk.

As I got around the bend, I began to see the aftermath of the massive blaze that burned approximately 80 hectares of Burns Bog last week while the entire Lower Mainland looked on.

It wasn’t until I got near the traffic light at 80th Street, however, and saw burnt patches of grass on both sides of the highway, that the potentially devastating impacts of the fire really hit home. With heartbreaking images from Fort McMurray still fresh in everyone’s minds, it wasn’t hard to envision the destruction this fire could have caused had it been able to reach the industrial park and beyond.

That’s not to suggest the damage inflicted on the environmentally-sensitive bog is somehow inconsequential, but given what sits just across the highway, the fire had the potential to lay waste to millions and millions in structures and livelihoods. The blaze didn’t get that far only because of the quick and diligent efforts of local firefighters as well as those from elsewhere who provided assistance.

Had the response on that Sunday afternoon not been as swift and effective, this story could well have had a different ending. I’m not trying to overdramatize the situation, but we’re talking about a raging fire that had jumped the highway and was within a few metres of buildings when it was repelled. We were that close to a catastrophic outcome.

Thanks and congratulations on a job well done must go to fire Chief Dan Copeland, the men and women of his department, and all the other firefighters that were on the front lines.

Thanks also to Mayor Lois Jackson, CAO George Harvie, police Chief Neil Dubord and his department, and all civic employees that mobilized to limit the damage to persons and property.

This could have turned out much, much worse. *** While we’re on the subject of gratitude, I’d like to thank all those readers who have taken out voluntary subscriptions to this newspaper. Your support is much appreciated.

It’s easier to buy raffle ticket when you’ve already won

I

don’t play the lottery any more. A few years ago, I stopped buying tickets. It’s not that I don’t believe in or have some personal aversion to the lottery, I just found that it messed with my karma.

I used to buy tickets. I’d dream of a condo in Maui, a fancy sports car, the feeling of paying off my mortgage – in cash. It never happened. The occasional $10 was the best I could muster. But after I stopped buying tickets, I found my luck changed. I landed a great new job I love, and things just seemed to be going my way.

I’d give in and buy a couple of tickets when the jackpot got really big, but inevitably, on Monday, I’d be faced with a bunch of things that had gone wrong. Maybe I’m just superstitious, but I’m not taking any chances.

I didn’t overdo buying tickets.

It didn’t affect other parts of my life. But let’s just say if I was still buying them there would be less pressure on funding transit.

Lottery tickets are a voluntary tax, but now I do my volunteering elsewhere.

However, I still dream of that fancy car. So when I was walking through the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall on Saturday and saw a really nice Mustang convertible being raffled off, I had to stop for a look.

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

The Shriners are raffling the car to raise money to help B.C. kids that need specialized medical procedures. These are the guys we see in the parades riding the tiny motorbikes and wearing the tasselled hats. Three Shriners were there, on a warm day, giving their time to sell tickets.

My “no lottery” policy was firmly in place, until I recognized one of the Shriners — Lloyd Jones. Well known as Mr. Poppy in Tsawwassen, he has been active in the Legion and selling poppies outside Thrifty Foods for years.

He regularly shows up in the paper with the oversized cheque handing out a donation or scholarship or bursary.

But my respect for him goes much deeper than his help for our community. He fought

through the Battle of Normandy, fought in Belgium, Holland and Germany in the Second World War. Last year, he, John Budnick and Lock Laurie were awarded the Legion d’Honneur, the highest decoration the French government can bestow. Jones, like so many others of his generation, risked his life so we can live the life we do today.

Watch any documentary on the Second World War and you’ll see what a terrifying and tragic time that was. And he lived it. He experienced things no one should experience. He did it for us. And now, he gives his time to make other’s lives better every day.

The least I can do is set aside my no lottery policy and buy a ticket from him. So I bought two.

We had a nice chat. I mentioned I’d read the article about him in the Sun, and thanked him for his service. A very gracious man, his reply was a humble, “Thank you.”

I may not win the car, but helping a veteran with something that matters to him means a lot more to me. But if I do win, guess who gets the first ride.

Thank you, Mr. Jones.

Concern that quarry could provide fill to more than just Southlands Editor: Re: Shorter is better, Murphy’s Law, July 6 Ted Murphy’s editorial casts the proposal to truck gravel from a Point Roberts quarry in an encouraging light when he implies that the planned 75 truck loads of fill per day for three or four months constitutes the total amount of fill needed for the Southlands. The reality may be somewhat different.

Four months at 75 trucks/day, five days/ week, as indicated by the application before Whatcom County is approximately 6,400 truckloads. In the May 2013 public information meeting on the Southlands development, the developer’s documentation included an estimate of 693,159 cubic metres of fill, equivalent to 60,275 truck loads, needed to fill the site. This is about 10

times the amount reportedly planned for the Point Roberts pit.

My guess is that sand and gravel from the Point might only be intended for access roads.

Coincidentally, however, a report of a special board meeting of the Point Roberts Community Advisory Committee in the All Point Bulletin revealed the total sand and gravel available in the quarry to be one million cubic yards,

or about 765,000 cubic metres.

And in the same issue, the quarry proponent is quoted as saying he intends to operate the quarry indefinitely.

Question is: If the permit is approved, will all of this go to the Southlands, or will it be trucked through Tsawwassen to other projects north of the border such as Terminal 2 or the new bridge?

Not necessary, but convenient

Editor: Re: Noisy leaf blowers just aren’t necessary, letter to the editor, July 8 Lots of things in our society are not necessary, but they sure make life more convenient — leaf blowers, lawn mowers, cars, tractors, airplanes, fire trucks, to name a few.

I like my leaf blower.

I use it during the day

while the kids are in school, usually only for about five minutes once every 10 days or so. My yard looks great, and when I am done with the leaf blower, I can switch it off and put it away.

Not so with noisy dogs.

Noisy dogs should be replaced with cats. Much quieter.

Jon Denney

Dog ingests narcotics on walk

Editor: As a Tsawwassen resident for more the 40 years, I am writing this letter to the community. I love the community and what it has to offer, but what I don’t appreciate is to take my dogs for a walk, and to later discover that one of them has eaten someone’s vomit that contained a lethal dose of narcotics.

This almost cost one of my animals its life. The

vet bill has cost us nearly $1,000 and my companion nearly left us.

All I can say is to stay clear from the tennis courts on English Bluff Road and to be aware of what is around you, I guess everywhere in Tsawwassen.

Rezoning windfall far greater than flood proofing projects

Editor: Re: Province funds two ’Bay flood projects, July 6 A $550,000 commitment to flood mitigation from Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton. That is an amount that most Delta

properties have increased by in the past year.

With the increase in land values this year, no one has achieved more of a gain than Century Group with its 950-unit Southlands rezoning. The

gain this year alone on just one of the 200 lots is equal to what our province is contributing to Delta.

Has Delta received an equal benefit from what it received in exchange for the rezoning? Just

imagine the local projects that could be funded with profits from rezoning if the profits from rezoning remained with those responsible for creating rezoning.

Marriage, I always assumed, was something that involved two people.

Turns out no. Turns out there can be just one.

Now I don’t know where I’ve been lately — watching too much Love it or List it, apparently — but I hadn’t heard about “selfmarriage” until recently.

It’s a movement, I hear, that’s gaining traction everywhere.

Why, just last week, there was a picture in the newspaper of seven women, each of whom had married themselves 10 years ago, and were now celebrating with a ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

That’s right. They married themselves.

“Have you ever heard of this?” I asked the husband, waving the picture in his face. “Self-marriage?

Where you marry yourself?”

“No,” said the husband.

“I hadn’t. So you propose to yourself? And then you give yourself a ring?”

He doesn’t get it either.

But then, he’s probably been watching too much PGA golf.

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

Self-marriage. This leaves us both scratching our heads.

I get it that it’s important for people to like themselves, and even love themselves. But it’s the, well, procedural stuff in self-marriages — the paper called it “an international movement” — that has me completely baffled.

“Does it start when you ask yourself out?” asked the husband.

“I don’t think so,” I said, “because you’d always be out with yourself. In fact, it would be impossible not to be out with yourself.”

“I guess so,” said the husband. “But I wonder what happens on wedding day. I guess you cut the

cake by yourself. And you say the vows to yourself.

You know, promising to be faithful and all that.”

“And then,” I said, “I guess you’d go on a honeymoon by yourself.”

“That’s kinda weird,” said the husband. “A honeymoon is way more fun when there are two people.”

Self-marrieds, I pointed out, would likely never forget their anniversaries — or have no one to blame if they did. And if they felt inclined to buy a gift, they’d likely get exactly what they want.

Self-marrieds would never have to ponder changing their names.

They’d never have to worry about divvying up the household chores.

They’d never have to chastise anyone for not putting the garbage out or for hogging the TV or for snoring and keeping them up into the night.

Self-marriage? It may be the latest matrimonial fad, but it has me completely baffled.

I like myself, I really do.

But not enough to marry me.

Tammy Hansen gets award as Ladner Rotarian of Year

PHOTO BY CHRIS OFFER

Tammy Hansen receives a Paul Harris Fellow Award from outgoing Ladner Rotary Club president Peter Roaf for her work with youth.

Ladner resident Walt Hayward accepted the “talking stick” from Peter Roaf as the presidency of the Rotary Club of Ladner changed hands at the 59th annual installation of officers late last month.

Hayward and the club’s board of directors were sworn in for the 2016-17 year by Rotary District 5040 governor John Anderson, with assistant governor Rick Lewall, both of the Tsawwassen Rotary Club.

Also that evening, the club’s New Generations chair Tammy Hansen

received a prestigious Paul Harris Fellow Award as Ladner Rotary’s Rotarian of the Year.

She was recognized for her work with youth, including the 30-member Interact Club, sponsored

by Ladner Rotary at Delta Secondary, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and Adventures in Citizenship.

Anderson also presented the Rotary Club of Ladner with the previously announced international gold level Presidential Citation, from Rotary’s international president Ravi Ravindran of Sri

Lanka, for developing sustainable service projects, building awareness of Rotary in the community, growing membership and giving to the Rotary Foundation.

The Delta Secondary Interact Club received a similar citation for its achievements.

The 1.2 million members of 35,000 Rotary clubs around the world are engaged in meeting needs of their own communities and the shared world community, bringing together leaders who exchange ideas and take action.

Beach Grove wins Climate Change Showdown

The Corporation of Delta has offered congratulations to Ms. Cotter’s Grade 4 class at Beach Grove Elementary for winning the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association’s Climate Change Showdown.

The class is projected to save 49.3 tonnes of greenhouse gases this year, and

along with other participating Delta classrooms, the initiative is projected to save 282.25 tonnes. This achievement is equivalent to taking 59.6 passenger vehicles off the road for a year, or recycling 12.8 garbage trucks of waste.

“It is very impressive to see Delta’s young people take the initiative to

change our behaviour when it comes to energy consumption,” said Mayor Lois Jackson.

In April and May, 14 workshops were delivered to six schools across Delta involving a total of 389 students from grades 3 through 7. The workshops included a four-week contest encouraging students

and their families to make changes to their energy consumption habits.

At the end of the four weeks, the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association calculated the savings by each classroom, and awarded a prize to the class saving the most through greenhouse gas reductions.

Delta hat trick for Montreal rider 2012 Canadian Olympian Joelle Numainville dominates weekend of racing Joelle Numainville dominated the streets from start to finish at the 15th annual Tour de Delta.

The 28-year-old Montreal native completed a “hat trick” of victories by capturing Sunday’s White Spot Delta Road Race in Tsawwassen.

Her weekend started with a pair of criterium triumphs — in North Delta and Ladner. The twotime Canadian national road race champion came to the eight-race B.C. Superweek with the goal of just riding well and letting the chips fall where they may.

“I just came here with the most important thing in my mind being how I race. I’ve raced aggressive and I’m just happy that I won it,” said Numainville, who was 12th in the women’s road race at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

“I’m in good shape, so I just want to have fun, I like coming to B.C. and seeing the crowds. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so I really enjoy it.”

She rallied to win the eight-lap 103.6 kilometre road race, teaming up with Australia’s Shannon Malseed to reel in a breakaway group on the final lap that included runner-up Sara Bergen and third place finisher Alison Jackson.

“Joelle’s a very strong and aggressive rider, she’s a great sprinter, so we had already committed to the break so I was pulling as hard as I could, I really wanted that to stick,” said Bergen. “She’s fast! It was a great race for everyone.”

“The break was steady and when it got to that climb late in the race, I could see that Joelle was bridging with a teammate, so not ideal for us in that breakaway,” added Jackson. “She bridged up and was working, so we just gauged her effort and I hoped to beat her in the end.”

Bergen was also second to Numainville in the Brenco Criterium as sprinted away to capture the 60 lap and 44.4 km race through Ladner Village. She also held off Stephanie Roorda who reached the podium for the second straight night after runner-up honours in North Delta.

As the last lap came down to a sprint in the final 100 metres, Roorda was well aware of where Numainville was. In fact, Roorda reached into her bag of tricks as an experienced track rider.

“I knew she was on my wheel, it’s kind of a track trick to look under your arms and look between your legs – I could see her there, but I knew I had to commit at that time because it was one lap to go,” explained the 29-year-old Vancouver native.

Montreal’s Joelle Numainville captured Sunday’s White Spot Road Race in Tsawwassen to complete a sweep of all three Tour De Delta women’s events. road race champion who dominated the men’s road race Sunday.

Kitchener native Ryan Roth broke away from a lead group, that included current Canadian road race champion Bruno Langlois and two-time Delta Road Race winner Steve Fisher, for an impressive 10.4 second victory.

“I had fantastic legs today and I really wanted to be in the breakaway, so I went all in on that early and it didn’t work and then it didn’t work again, but luckily it played out pretty well,” beamed the 32-year-old after finishing the 12 lap, 155.4 kilometre trek.

The race had a unique feel as it saw a massive group of riders go off at the beginning. Roth’s Silber team had some representation in the break, including Elliot Doyle who won Friday’s MK Delta Lands Criterium, and Roth just decided to jump across at that point.

“There was a few of us, but we didn’t panic, we had two guys up there in that group, including some speed with Elliot,” added Roth.

“We really wanted to have three instead of two, just to have better numbers and luckily Will Routley and I, and a few of us guys bridged across and from there it was like

‘chop it down’ and play out the finish.”

Australia’s Scott Law thrived on the new Ladner Village trek to capture the men’s Brenco Criterium.

The 70 lap event featured over 100 riders taking on the 740 metre course that was altered due to the Delta Street revitalization project.

Law and his Subaru team led from start to finish as he completed the 51.8 kilometre race in 1:27.47.

“It’s a tight little circuit here and that was sort of the plan, just keep our wheels up at the front and ourselves out of trouble, just ride a good tempo. I think I owe the boys a couple of beers for doing all that work for me!” exclaimed Law. He held off Justin Williams as the Los Angeles native was making his Tour de Delta debut.

“It’s a lot tighter than some of the crit courses in the US, but I like it. Corners are my thing so I love a course when it’s flowing and there’s a lot of corners because I can hold my momentum better than a couple of other guys.

It makes the race easier for me,” Williams said.

B.C. Superweek continues with the Gastown Grand Prix Wednesday, Giro di Burnaby Thursday, PoCo Grand Prix Friday and the Tour De White Rock this weekend.

Delta Angels celebrate their third place performance at the U10 championships.

Bronze finish for Angels

Delta Angels turned in an outstanding performance at the 23rd annual U10 Invitational Softball Championships at Squint Lake Park in Burnaby.

The Angels “A” squad placed third in the 22-team event, held over the Canada Day Weekend, in what is believed to be the best finish by a Delta team in 12 years.

After only practicing together for four weeks, the girls went up against opponents that have been playing together for years and got everyone talking that they were a team to watch.

After going undefeated in four games, Delta started the playoffs by getting past the Tri City Titans 5-4, then went up

against North Langley in what proved to be the most exciting game the Angels have played so far.

The girls came close but were edged 5-4 in the final inning. The Angels answered back in a big way, defeating South Surrey Thunder 13-3 to secure the bronze medal finish.

The team includes: Neve Greenidge, Elli Thompson, Ashley Peters, Miranda Olsen, Christine Autin, Mikaela Erickson, Camryn Smith, Halle Joynt, Erin Woodhead, Sophie Hancock, Haydn Milley and Mikayla Spencer.

The girls are coached by: Briggs Greenidge, Shell Thompson and Ryan Smith.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
