Father gets jail time for assaults Ladner man given six-month sentence for his role in fights on Delta Secondary grounds in spring of 2009 BY

JESSICA KERR

A Ladner man was sentenced to six months in jail Wednesday morning for his involvement in two assaults at a high school more than two years ago. The 46-year-old was found guilty in March of two counts of assault causing bodily harm stemming from an attack on a Grade 9 student outside Delta Secondary in April 2009. His son and two unknown

males were also involved in the incident. Neither the father or the son can be named because the son is a juvenile. The son is also facing charges as a result of the incident. The assault stemmed from an earlier altercation between the victim and the man’s younger son. The father, older son and two unknown males arrived at the school on April 15, 2009. The two unknown men, one armed with what was described as a pipe or baton, chased down the

victim and started attacking him. The father and son caught up and the two youths started fighting. Another man tried to intervene to get the father away from the scuffle. The father head butted the man, loosening two teeth and splitting his lip.

The other victim’s injuries included a swollen nose and black eye, a bump on the head, and cuts and bruises to the face. The Crown was asking for a sentence of 10 to 12 months in jail, while the defence asked the judge for a conditional discharge. Judge Paul Dohm said due to the nature of the crime, the high moral culpability of the accused and the court’s obligation to denounce the crime and deter the accused and others, a jail sentence was required in this case.

When given a chance to address the court, the man, who was described by his lawyer as “extremely distressed” about what happened that day, apologized to the victims, their families, the court and the judge. “I wish none of this happened,” he said. “I hope something positive can come from this for everyone involved.” The man was also sentenced to two years probation, which included 50 hours of community service.

CUPE expects Metro will be at the table

Bear in lengthy hibernation!

Contract for Delta’s civic workers expires at end of year BY

ROGER MEYER

While walking in the the old Vancouver Wireless Station lands north of the Boundary Bay Airport last week, Roger Meyer passed a tree he’s gone by dozens of times. This time, however, with the light just right, it revealed a moss-covered Teddy bear. Meyer says the moss on the bear is as old as the moss on the tree, so he thinks it might have been in that tree since the houses were removed a half century ago. He wonders if there’s someone out there that might remember putting the bear in the tree.

The president of the union representing Delta’s civic employees expects Metro Vancouver will participate in upcoming collective bargaining sessions with the municipality. Noting they can serve notice by September, CUPE Local 454 president Darryl Robison told the Optimist that despite the troubles experienced with the regional district’s Labour Relations Bureau in the last round of contract talks, he expects the bureau will still be around this time. The union’s contract with Delta expires at the end of this year. It represents over 900 members at the Corporation of Delta, Delta police department and the Delta Museum and Archives. “Our bargaining committees are meeting right now to discuss our strategy going forward and we’re looking to get to the table before the (November) municipal election. We want to get to the table and discuss the issues facing

our members here in Delta,” said Robison. In April 2010, Delta served 24 months notice to Metro Vancouver of its intent to withdraw from the Labour Relations Bureau, which provides contract bargaining services to member municipalities. The bureau was formed decades ago to provide a united front for municipalities when negotiating labour contracts with their civic workers. Burnaby, Vancouver and others have also given notice, while Richmond and Port Coquitlam are already out and Surrey was never a member. Mayor Lois Jackson at the time said the LRB served a useful role in collective bargaining matters. However, problems surfaced in the last round of bargaining in 2007 with Delta’s civic employees, she said. A recently released report by labour consultant Jim Dorsey, who was commissioned by the bureau, found the bargaining system broken. He recommended a new model be established for labour negotiations.

In an interview following the report’s release, Delta CAO George Harvie said, “Over the years it’s gotten to where municipalities say we need our own control. “The direction we have from council is that we’re looking for a new way of doing negotiations directly with our employees that does not involve an external committee telling our citizens what we can and can not do.” Robison said he isn’t sure what form the bureau will look like at the table when Delta and his union begin talks, only that the regional district will likely have a presence. “It’s up in the air and we’re not sure what the bargaining will look like. What seems to be clear, because of the timing of the notice period, that Metro Vancouver will be at the bargaining table. I’m looking to have a discussion with Mr. Harvie about that,” he said. Robison took over the presidency of Local 454 from Josh Turner a few months ago after Turner stepped down.

Port poised to begin expansion talks in earnest

Multi-year process getting underway as Terminal 2, a three-berth container port, is proposed for Roberts Bank BY

Port Metro Vancouver has begun public consultation on expansion plans for Roberts Bank. The port authority is calling the sessions “preconsultation” because the public is being asked for input on how it would like to be consulted and about what topics when it comes to the Terminal 2 project. The authority notes it’s the start of a comprehensive, multi-year community, stakeholder and public consultation process. In a letter to Delta council, port CEO Robin Silvester said it’s anticipated there will be seven

rounds of consultation. The first pre-consultation session took place earlier this month in Tsawwassen and another occurred last week at the Delta Town & Country Inn. Silvester noted the feedback received through the pre-consultation will be considered as the port refines and finalizes its consultation program for the proposed three-berth terminal. A dedicated First Nations consultation process will run parallel to the public and stakeholder consultation, he said. In an interview earlier this year, Allan Baydala, the port authority’s chief financial officer, said communication and consultation

are keys as the port looks at expanding operations. “In our CCIP (Container Capacity Improvement Program) announced in January, that laid out a very extensive six- or seven-year consultation process around the expansion of much needed container capacity in the Lower Mainland,” he said. Several other pre-consultation sessions will be held around the Lower Mainland until June 30. For more information go to www. portmetrovancouver.com or call 604-665-9337. Meanwhile, the newly formed Port Community Liaison Committee recently held its first meeting. The committee is made up of

six community and nine organization representatives. The committee has been described as “an information-sharing forum that works in the spirit of collaboration to bring together municipal, First Nations, industry, Port Metro Vancouver and community interests to discuss developments, identify concerns, provide suggestions and facilitate two-way communication among respective constituencies about port operations and development.” The committee’s mandate is not specifically focused on the proposed Terminal 2, which would result in an entirely new three-berth

container facility beside the existing port at Roberts Bank. T2 has been talked about for several years, even before Deltaport expanded to create a third berth a year ago. A Delta staff report in 2008 found the potential impacts associated with Terminal 2 will be the same as those from the third berth expansion, only on a much larger scale. Those impacts include air pollution, congestion and noise associated with increased road, rail and marine traffic as well as port construction and operation. Delta has asked that before T2 is approved, regulatory agencies, includ-

ing Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service, confirm that the Adaptive Management Strategy and Habitat Compensation Plan for the third berth project have been met. Questioning the need to expand port operations in Delta, Against Port Expansion (APE) has begun its own lobby efforts, saying, “Deltaport already emits significant pollution levels. Imagine what Delta will be like with huge increases and unacceptable levels of light, noise and air pollution. Why is port expansion more important than our environment and the livability of the region?”

Gary Mitchell pedals 400 kilometres in one day to help fight cancer BY

LAURA THOMAS

Optimist contributor

When Tsawwassen’s Gary Mitchell signed up to ride from Kelowna to North Delta in one day, he thought it was all about the cycling. But the night before the ride, this 44-year-old journeyman bookbinder, who has lost two family members to cancer, had an

experience that changed his perspective and clarified his reason for participating in the seventh annual Ride2Survive. After their evening meal at the Rutland United Church in Kelowna, the entire group of 90 riders and 70 crew members sat down to share their stories. Every individual was given the opportunity to introduce themselves and talk about why they were participating in the ride. “Right at that moment the 400-kilometre ride didn’t matter,” said Mitchell. “I realized that I was there to raise money to fight a nasty disease.” To date, Mitchell has personally raised $1,800 of the almost $300,000 that Ride2Survive has pulled in for cancer research this year. When asked what his lowest moment was, Mitchell described his climb up Larson Hill just

west of Merritt, about 160 kilometres into the ride. He said the wind was heavy, the roads were bad and they had to pick up the pace because they were an hour behind. His legs cramped and pushing the pedals was painful. “What kept me going was seeing the ambulance right behind me. I didn’t want to get picked up at that point.” When asked if he was planning to do it all again next year, his answer was a definitive yes. North Delta resident and Ride2Survive operating officer Vicki Kunzli said Mitchell was in good company this year as about half the riders were first-timers. And, she was pleased to report that every rider finished. Like all of the riders and crew who are raising funds through Ride2Survive, Mitchell will have the opportunity to tell the

Canadian Cancer Society exactly where he would like his money spent. “All of our money goes to the Canadian Cancer Society and is put in trust until the participants decide where it should go,” Kunzli said. “None of the money raised is used to fund the ride.” Local businesses such as North Delta’s Caps South Shore Cycle, the official home of the ride, provide a variety of goods and services, including food, water, vehicles, radios and mechanical support. After the ride, the extra food was taken to the Surrey Urban Mission. The 2012 Ride2Survive kicks off in February with a two-hour indoor ride and orientation session at Southridge School in South Surrey. Registration is open now.

Full traffic signal to be installed at 1st & 56th BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Delta council approved a motion this week to install a full traffic signal at 1st Avenue and 56th Street in Tsawwassen. Concern about the safety of making left turns from 1st Avenue onto 56th Street was brought up earlier this year and council asked staff to look at the possibility of converting the current pedestrian-activated signal into a full traffic signal. The intersection is the

last one in Tsawwassen before the Point Roberts border crossing and often the border line up extends down 56th Street, blocking sight lines at the intersection. “It’s a bad spot when you can’t see over the crest of the hill,” said Coun. Robert Campbell. In a report to council, Steven Lan, Delta’s director of engineering, said a full traffic signal is not warranted based on current volumes, however, with the new water playground

going in at Diefenbaker Park later this summer, more vehicles are expected to turn left onto 56th Street from 1st Avenue when exiting the park. “A full traffic signal would offer significant safety benefits by addressing the reduced sight distance associated with the crest of the hill and border line up traffic,” he said. The estimated $150,000 cost will come from surplus funds from another civic project that came in under budget.

Delta on lookout for social media specialist

Municipality wants to use Facebook, Twitter and other sites to provide residents with timely information BY

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta wants to get in on the social media revolution. The municipality recently posted a job opening for the position of social media specialist, who can develop and expand Delta’s Facebook, Twitter, Hootsuite, Flikr and YouTube sites. CAO George Harvie explained the person who will be hired for the sixmonth contract is to develop social media services and train staff on how best to utilize those platforms to provide more timely information to the public.

Noting cities such as Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond already have Twitter links, Harvie said, “We’re not doing it to be fashionable, we’re doing it to be more efficient.” Harvie said most residents go to the municipal website to check out parks and recreation facilities and programs. Those who have a Delta Twitter account will be advised quickly if a new program is available or there are a limited number of spaces, for example. “It’s shown to be a very efficient way in today’s social media where everybody is using their phones

people can log in to find or BlackBerries to receive that if they register,” Harvie out the status of their building applicasaid, adding tions. other bulleDepending tins, includ- “We’re not doing it to on the qualiing traffic be fashionable, we’re fications of alerts, can doing it to be more the successbe conful applicant, veyed to efficient.” subscribers.

cations. This way, it doesn’t cost us anything other than setting up training sessions for staff.” Harvie noted Surrey has over 2,200 Facebook followers and 824 on Twitter, while New Westminster also has over 2,100 followers on Facebook. He also noted the Delta Community Animal Shelter has 634 Facebook followers and had over 110,000 views of postings between May 13 and June 11.

Barber given honourary degree Tsawwassen philanthropist recognized by Kwantlen Polytechnic University Kwantlen Polytechnic University awarded Tsawwassen’s Irving (Ike) Barber, one of B.C.’s most prominent entrepreneurs, with an honourary doctor of laws at the 2011 convocation ceremony held on its Surrey campus last week. Barber was born in Alberta in 1923. He dropped out of school in Grade 11, but because of his service in the Second World War, he was given the opportunity to continue his education. Barber graduated at the age of 27 with a bachelor of science degree in forestry from UBC in 1950. He credits this “second chance” at education as his starting point for the success he has enjoyed both personally and professionally, and the experience that has motivated him to become an ardent supporter of education. Barber spent all his working life in the forest resource industry. In 1978,

Sweet sweet Skor was surrendered to the shelter because her previous owners added a baby to their family and kept ﬁnding Little Miss Skor sleeping in the baby crib. They were concerned about this behaviour and so decided to surrender her. Skor has been around other cats, dogs, children and everything in between and has been tolerant and friendly with most. She is a little timid and unsure of her new surroundings and doesn't seem to handle stress very well; though we believe that it will not take her long to go back to her old ways!

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW He’s met them halfway, but will it be enough to get him all the way to the finish line? Sean Hodgins came before Delta council Monday night with a revised vision for his Southlands property, one that stays true to the new urbanism principles he holds dear but reduces the scope in an attempt to make it more palatable to the public and civic decision makers. Cutting the number of housing units in half, from 1,900 to 950, will go a long way to alleviating concerns in some corners, but you can bet it will still be 950 too many for others. I have to say I was surprised by the extent to which Hodgins reduced the housing component of his proposal, particularly given all the time, effort and money that went into the initial one, but I guess it speaks to his desire to get a deal done and to see his vision for a new age kind of neighbourhood become a reality. Although the revised proposal will undoubtedly still face vocal opposition from those who feel the entire site should maintain its agricultural zoning, I suspect this latest plan from the Century Group has to be a tempting offer for Delta, even if civic officials aren’t willing to admit it at this point. The municipality has an opportunity to acquire, for nothing, roughly 80 per cent of a property that has caused it countless headaches for the last three decades. The plan ensures a big chunk of the Southlands is improved soil-wise to sustain small-scale farming, it provides housing choices not currently offered in town and, perhaps most importantly, it puts the issue to rest once and for all. If you listen hard enough, I think you can hear someone tritely term it a win-winwin proposition. That’s not to say it will be smooth sailing for here on in. When I saw the plan unveiled Monday night the first thing that struck me was how the residential component has been moved away from the forested area and the majority of the housing is now abutting the community of Boundary Bay. I’ve often thought Tsawwassenites like where they live because they don’t have to deal with the congestion of the big city, whereas those in Boundary Bay choose that location so they can get away from the hustle and bustle that is Tsawwassen. I’m guessing that dropping hundreds of housing units on their doorstep isn’t likely to go over too well. It’s one of many hurdles that will need to be cleared as this proposal moves forward, but I get the sense we’re as close to finding a resolution as we’ve ever been.

Get up to speed on issues so you can mark ballot wisely MIKE SCHNEIDER

COMMUNITY COMMENT I don’t know about you, but I actually used the recently received HST Referendum Voters Guide. I thought it was relevant material that steered me toward the sources of information on both sides of the issue. Most of my friends and neighbours knew the government was producing the document and we all knew who was participating to produce the guide. If you listen to the radio every once in a while or watch news on TV, or read a paper, you would know this. The government logo on the publication is clear for all to see. Why the fuss? I am surprised our MLA did not know, as was Finance Minister Kevin Falcon who wrote this in a letter to this paper this past Wednesday: “For the sake of our province’s future, I hope Delta voters pay more care and attention to the government-issued voters guide

than their MLA and their local columnist. “In news releases and multiple public statements, the government clearly announced it would prepare, pay for and distribute a voters guide on the harmonized sales tax referendum. These public statements apparently were missed,” he went on to say. In a recent MLA Report, Vicki Huntington described the publication as “sneaky junk mail designed to deceive.” This comment is inappropriate and disrespectful of people who used and will use the guide to assist in an important decision making process. I would like to know what the alternatives would be to get something reasonably unbiased to the public. The guide is clearly not “propaganda” or “another page to the HST’s long story of deceit.” The publication is anything but “sleight of hand.” I find all of this talk of deceit interesting because although our MLA takes opportunity to lambaste the government over the HST at every turn, our MLA recently voted in favour of retaining the changes to the HST in the legislature. Again, in the same letter to this paper, Falcon comments: “To

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

suggest the public servants who developed the guide and drafted the government content within it aim to deliberately deceive the public is uncalled-for and inappropriate.” As we continue to lead busier lives, it would seem that our ability to pay attention to many critical political issues is waning. This is truly unfortunate and needs to be a re-do project for many of us. The summer of 2011 will be the summer of homework. This summer, rather than leisurely crossword puzzle afternoons on the deck and hangin’ at the cabin, you should be busy trying to find out who is trying to shape your life for the best so you can place a thoughtful vote. Start with the HST referendum and then get busy studying local issues because you will likely be voting for an MLA in September and for sure voting for a Delta council in November. Look at all sides and try to sort through the rhetoric and dogma and try to find the real meat on the bone. Then, exercise the supreme right for your community, province and country and do that process proud by mailing in your HST referendum vote and by getting yourself to the polling booth when the time comes.

Tragic reminder on water safety

Editor: Deas Slough is a wonderful stretch of calm water, available for all to use. Kayakers, outriggers, canoeists, rowers, jet skiers, and water skiers have shared this water and enjoyed their chosen sport. A wonderful working balance has been achieved by creating specific times during which each can use the slough. It is seldom there are any concerns between the various user groups. On Sundays, from dawn until 11 a.m., the waterway is frequented by the powerboat users during which time jet and water skiers make great use of the calm early morning conditions. From 11 a.m. through to dusk, rowers, kayakers and

outriggers are scheduled to use the waterway. At about 11.30 a.m. last Sunday a flotilla of a dozen rowers could be seen leaving the east end of the slough, travelling westward. Shortly after, a powerboat with water skier in tow came roaring down. Assuming the driver was unaware of this working relationship between slough users, our coach on duty approached them and explained the situation. Clearly unsatisfied with the explanation, the driver then continued down the slough and, in what appeared to be a marking of one’s territory, he proceeded to pull a high speed circle around a lone single sculler before heading back to the marina. Now, I won’t go into the

physics of a 3,000-pound powerboat versus a 30pound rowing shell, other than to say, if the driver wishes to contact me at our club, I would be more than happy to cover the cost for him to attend one of our Learn to Row courses this summer. On a far more serious note, I decided to row up to the marina and share a story with this driver. It was a hot evening last summer on Lake Stevens in Washington; the sun was low on the horizon. A powerboat driver was getting ready to give their skier the last run of the day. They hit the throttle; the bow went up, temporarily hindering their view. They ran straight over two rowers. The tragic accident resulted in the

fatality of a young father of four. He was a friend of the Delta Deas Rowing Club rowers who were out rowing on Father’s Day last Sunday. Undoubtedly, as summer takes hold the demands on the slough will increase. The powerboat driver I spoke to on Sunday told me he was trying to enjoy his Father’s Day with his young daughters. I hope, upon reflection, he understands that others are also seeking the same enjoyment. I hope this letter is a reminder to all user groups of Deas Slough to play safe out there and look after one another. Stephen Lawson

The Corporation of Delta is not in the business of farming; rather it should be providing an environment where farmers are encouraged to farm in a sustainable way, particularly on land within the rural-urban

edge. What he should be doing is negotiating how farming can be done economically in the style of urban agriculture. How can we carry out large-scale communitybased farming without it costing us all an arm and a leg? By squeezing Century Group to reduce the amount of property and the number

of unit to be developed to a bare minimum, he minimizes the funding available to sustain agriculture on this orphaned, poor-quality land. Century’s plan is both innovative and sustainable. The modest development will pay to upgrade the land for sustainable farming. Instead of spending millions on a pumping sys-

Ladner merchants go the extra mile to help out family

Editor: I’d like to send a big thank you to Ladner Village Hardware and Ladner Auto Body for going above and beyond to help our family. On June 12, my daughter had to leave town but had no lock to secure her bike

so Ladner Village Hardware offered to stow it for her. Thanks to Jim Price for coming back after hours to release it because she had not got back to retrieve it until after the shop had closed. On June 15, the staff

of Ladner Auto Body rescued my son after he had bicycled into the barb wire fence across the street from the shop. Because I had no way home after bringing him to the clinic, Rick Richardson gave me his card and told me to give

him a call when we were done. His wife Jennifer picked us up , delivered my son to school and brought me and the wayward bike home. What a wonderful community to live in. Kate Armstrong

Editor: Re: Front page photo, June 15 Once again Chung Chow has captured the spirit and energy of a moment-intime with his excellent front-page snap of bandmaster John White in full swing with his group at the Memorial Park band shell. Good eye, good trigger finger! W. Baird Blackstone

We face risks everyday – illness, injury and even dying suddenly. Let’s face it, life happens. If something happens to you and your income stopped, are you and your family financially prepared? Do you have a plan in place to pay the mortgage and handle other household bills? So much depends on our incomes. If it’s so important, why don’t more Canadians protect themselves? Most people feel overwhelmed by the different types of insurance, how much they need, and say that paying for several policies is simply not in the budget. Recently, Manulife introduced Synergy® insurance to address these concerns. This Life, Disability and Critical Illness (CI) insurance is three individual policies all rolled into one. Not only does Synergy® offer one solution to cover three needs, it’s more affordable than buying separate policies. If you are between the ages of 18 to 50, Synergy® was designed specifically to assist you in purchasing from $100K - $500K of Life insurance. The Disability monthly benefit is the lesser of 0.5% of the Life insurance portion or available amount of insurance. Proof of income is not needed. Even if you have no income, you are still eligible for disability coverage. For stay-at- home spouses, this is invaluable. They can now be considered for disability coverage as in any regular occupation (cooking, cleaning, driving the kids to school is a full time job too). The Critical Illness benefit is the lesser of 25% of the life insurance or available amount of insurance. For example, if you buy $400,000 Life insurance, you would get $2,000 per month (.5% x $400K) Disability if disabled for longer than 90 days and $100,000 (25% x $400K) Critical Illness if diagnosed with one of 22 illnesses (Heart Attack, Stroke, Cancer, etc). Synergy® provides some added benefits built into the solution too – your premiums are waived if you are on claim for a disability; you get access to information about our Canadian Health Care system and world-class medical second opinion service through Health Service Navigator®, an integrated health information and online resource centre. You can also buy permanent life insurance with no further medical underwriting required and can add a term life insurance rider for yourself, and term life and CI coverage for your kids up to age 25. Synergy® insurance is designed to be a pool of money. By using a pool of money, Synergy® can provide solid protection at an affordable price.

A Dance with Self-Deception tor to the violence we’ve recently witnessed: people deceiving themselves that they are invincible, above and beyond the law. Speaking of deception, I couldn’t help but think of these words in the Bible: “...evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:13) Happily the bad news was balanced by the good news of the following morning as people took to the streets to help clean up the mess. In light of all that’s happened recently, the Bible reminds us to “Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else” (1 Thessalonians 5:15). This is pastor Henry Jonker’s last contribution since he will be retiring in the near future.

The title for this, my last contribution to Minister’s Minute, is actually the title of a book written by Chuck Colson. I’m borrowing it to make a point about the recent Stanley Cup riots. Isn’t it amazing how people deceive themselves into thinking, “I can get away with it!”?... This especially so in a time when use of electronic devices makes it impossible to escape public scrutiny. Some of our (good?) citizens are displaying equally bad behaviour by seeking vigilante justice. What is with this celebration of violence? My take on it is this: too many TV programs, movies, video games, etc. include excessive, even extreme violence. These forms of entertainment subtly influence behaviour and are a contributing fac-

Council of Canadians presentation looks at foreign trade zone issue Concerns have been voiced over possibility of establishing zone in Delta What will be the impact if a foreign trade zone is established at Deltaport? This question and others will be explored in a special presentation on Wednesday, June 29 at 7 p.m. at the Ladner Pioneer Library sponsored by the Delta chapter of the Council of Canadians. All are welcome. The provincial government released a request for proposal in February to conduct a feasibility study for a B.C. Foreign Trade Zone Program. These zones will be explored across the province with a specific proposal being developed within the Pacific Gateway

Strategy. It is this strategy that has pushed for port development and the controversial South Fraser Perimeter Road along with other development throughout the Lower Mainland. “Foreign trade zones are also referred to as free trade zones or economic trade zones in other places,” says Council of Canadians Delta chapter spokesperson Cathy Wilander. “Governments section off land to create special investment climates for business and industry.

Lots of events planned to celebrate July 1 BY

anada’s 144th birthday is just around the corner and there are local events planned to mark the occasion. If you’re looking to get out and celebrate Canada Day next Friday with others here are a few options: • The Delta Museum & Archives Society will be hosting a party in honour of our nation’s birthday that will spill out onto the street in Ladner Village. The family-oriented, fun-filled event kicks off at 9 a.m. with the traditional pancake and sausage breakfast cooked by the North Delta, Ladner and Scottsdale Lions clubs. Breakfast will be available for purchase until 11 a.m., with all proceeds going to support the Delta Museum & Archives Society’s educational programs. Party attendees can be entertained by the toe-tapping music of local Celtic band Doghouse while enjoying the crafts, activi-

ties and contests during the morning. The museum has three floors of exhibits to explore and there will also be a Great Canadian Safari to take part in (spot the Canadian animals that are hiding in the museum). Visit the archives historical display booth out front of the museum to learn more of Delta’s history. Official ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. with the singing of our national anthem and messages from local dignitaries. The event will conclude around noon with the cutting of a giant birthday cake. Festivities will be held outside the Delta Museum located in the heart of Ladner Village (4858 Delta St.) from 9 a.m. to noon. For more information call 604-9469322 or visit our www.deltamuseum.ca. • The Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club will once again host a Canada Day party at Diefenbaker Park. “Everything’s the same as usual,” says Steve Dane, president of the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club.

The celebration gets started at 10 a.m. with activities like face painting and balloon twisting while there will be food like hotdogs and popcorn that can be washed down with some pop, water or juice. At 1 p.m. guests will be introduced (Dane expects the mayor and local MLA and MP to be there) followed by the singing of O Canada and the cake cutting. Diefenbaker Park is located at the corner of 56th Street and 1st Avenue. • Ladner’s Kirkland House will be the site of a Canada birthday bash once again. The party goes from noon to 4 p.m. at the heritage home on Arthur Drive. The McKee House Jammers are scheduled to perform from noon to 1 p.m. while a variety show with an accordionist and United Entertainers members will follow. Peter Chipman will also be singing. “VIPs” and members of the Delta Police Pipe Band will arrive between 2 and 3 p.m. There will also be antique farm equipment on display, a miniature railway and a

play area for kids. Event emcee Pat Rogers says the heritage house has been spruced up significantly inside, including hardwood floors and period wallpaper on the main level. “They’ve really made some major improvements there,” she says. Refreshments will be available with proceeds going to the Kirkland House Foundation. Kirkland House is located at 4140 Arthur Dr., Ladner. *** Our neighbours south of the border in Point Roberts will be celebrating Independence Day on Monday, July 4 with a parade and other activities. Animation Celebration is the theme this year and the parade begins at noon at the west end of Gulf Road. A Family Funfest at Lighthouse Marine Park with games, prizes, musical entertainment and refreshments will be held after the parade.

leisure&lifestyles travel

Daytripping to Sausalito, Cali. on the Golden Gate Bridge. Cyclists are allowed to travel on one side of the bridge while walkers travel on the other, but whether you walk or cycle, seeing the bridge up close is an amazing experience. When the bridge was built in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. Today it is the ninth longest and you can really appreciate the size and height of the bridge when you ride on it. After stopping on the bridge for some pictures, we followed a bike path leading under the bridge and up over a ridge into the town of Sausalito. The ride up the hill that leads into the town was a bit challenging, but we enjoyed coasting down the other side. By the time we arrived in the town, we had been on our bikes for well over two hours, so we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon just exploring. I was a wee bit tired, but biking across the Golden Gate

ausalito is a quirky little waterfront community on the scenic northern coast of California, just beyond the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a great destination for a day trip from San Francisco, particularly for families with older children, preteens and teens that want to enjoy an active outing together. Be warned, though: The 13-kilometre ride is challenging for younger kids and middle-aged folks who are not used to biking. Our plan for the afternoon had been a simple one: Rent bicycles on Hyde Street, ride to Fisherman’s Wharf, travel along the Presidio National Park bike path to the Golden Gate Bridge, cycle across the bridge and coast down the hill into Sausalito. From there, we would decide whether to bike it back across the bridge or

take the easy way back to Fisherman’s Wharf via the ferry. After a short visit to the wharf area, we were on our way to the Presidio National Park bike trail. The scenery along this trail is spectacular and there are many great photo ops as you ride along the edge of the bay. Near the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, we made a stop at Fort Point National Historic Site, a historic fortification built to protect San Francisco Harbour from Confederate and foreign attack during and after the U.S. Civil War. An interpretive sign explained that although it was an incredible fortification in its time, Fort Point never had to fire its guns in defence. The fort never came under attack, because its presence served as a deterrent to any who may have considered launching an assault on the bay. From Fort Point, we climbed a short, steep hill leading up to the sidewalk

The kits consist of seven, bee-friendly perennials that offer continuous bloom from April through October. When you purchase a kit, your garden is registered as a Feed the Bees location. “The great thing about Feed the Bees is that it’s action oriented,” says Delta Chamber of Commerce chair and campaign cochair Ian Tait. “Anyone can do this, from the largest business to the smallest balcony gardener. “Each plant and each garden contributes to creating bee highways throughout our community.

This summer, Feed the Bees wants the community to plant bee friendly gardens. Bees are needed to pollinate more than 30 per cent of our food crops, yet throughout the world, bees are in dramatic decline, with B.C. beekeepers reporting losses ranging from 20 to 100 percent this spring. However, we can all make a difference and have a positive impact by growing plants that provide food and habitat for local pollinators and by refraining from using pesticides. Earthwise Society and the Delta Chamber of Commerce are collaborating to become part of the solution to the threat to our bees and invite others in the community to join them and “Feed the Bees.” “To feed the bees we

Bilateral Hearing Loss: Two Hearing Aids Are Better Than One Keith Dimelow started his SaBinaural simply means “two ears” – which is what nature gave you. Two ears are, indeed, better than one for a number of reasons. So when your audiologist says that you are experiencing bilateral hearing loss, you may want to consider two hearing aids - because two are more powerful than one. Just like our eyes, our brains are wired to receive sound from both ears. Many first time hearing aid wearers

think starting with just one hearing aid may be easier to adjust to or save them some money; however, two hearing aids are truly better than one. Here are some reasons why: • Better localization – the ability to tell where sounds are coming from • Better hearing in background noise • Better sound quality (“mono” versus “stereo”)

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

After many very successful shows around the Lower Mainland, The Roadshow is now here here in in Tsawwassen, Langley, BC. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

jewellery she was never going to wear anyways. Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

During a show near Toronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She ﬁnally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare.

Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can ﬁnally afford

to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a

variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they often make offers to buy them.

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. We were able to locate a collector for that speciﬁc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the Roadshow!

OWL was pleased to share in the proceeds from last month’s Growing and Giving plant sale.

Non-profits grateful for support received from annual plant sale Finding support for nonprofit organizations can be difficult these days, says Bev Day, executive director of the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL). Day says often times it is people in the community that go the extra mile to help organizations that cannot be self sustaining. OWL was recently the beneficiary of such support when it split the proceeds of Gwen’s Growing and Giving plant sale with another deserving local organization, Delta 7,($

Ribbon cut to open Holly’s playground

PHOTO BY

DAVE WILLIS

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson and school trustee Laura Dixon helped cut the ribbon to open Holly Elementary’s new playground last Friday morning in East Ladner.

Mayor Lois Jackson, members of Delta council and the Delta school district celebrated the grand opening of Holly Elementary’s new playground with the children and parents of the East Ladner school last Friday. This was a much-needed improvement as the deteriorating original wooden playground required continual maintenance and was prone to flooding. The design of the old playground provided activity opportunities only for primary aged children. The new playground has features and activity centres for children aged two to 12, including a challenging climbing feature for the older children. It is the first playground in East Ladner to provide for the mobility challenged with an access ramp and easy stairs for access to the

slides and other elevated activities, along with numerous ground level activity centres. Due to the relocation of the playground and the inclusion of perimeter site drainage, flooding will no longer be an issue. “This new playground is now a wonderful amenity for students, parents and the neighbourhood to enjoy,” said Jackson. “This project is another example of the community coming together to support our children. Many, many children will benefit from this playground project.” To finance the $73,000 project, Delta partnered with the school district and the Holly Elementary parent advisory council. Delta’s contribution was $35,000, with the school district contributing $13,000 and Holly’s PAC raising $25,000.

Jr Islanders lose ground in bid for top three finish

The Delta Islanders couldn’t even get through the pre-game warm-up before a decisive blow was delivered to arguably their most pivotal stretch of the regular season. The Islanders faced three games in four nights and needed to win at least two of them to have a realistic chance at a top three finish in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League. Instead, they could only manage one victory and look to be doing nothing more than treading water in fourth place with six games remaining. There was plenty of optimism heading into last Saturday’s tilt with with the second place Victoria Shamrocks as Delta was looking to sweep the season series and sniper Logan Schuss was making his debut after returning from Ohio State University. However, starting goaltender Blake Duncan was taken to hospital with concussion symptoms after being hit by a shot underneath his face mask during the pre-game warm-up. Not only was the key third-year veteran unavailable for the rest of the evening, he also would be sidelined for the remainder of the week. The Islanders fired 62 shots but a six goal second period lifted the Shamrocks to a 12-10 victory. They

bounced back one night later with a 17-11 win over the struggling Burnaby Lakers but then were blitzed 16-7 by the New West Salmonbellies on Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena. The game was actually tied at 6-6 in the second period when the Bellies pulled away, including seven unanswered goals in the third period. The results leave the Islanders with an 8-7 record heading into tomorrow night’s home game against Burnaby (7:30 p.m.). Against the top three teams in the league, the locals have 2-7 record, including a combined 0-6 against first place Coquitlam and third place New West. One of the few bright spots in what otherwise was a tough week was Schuss producing 19 points over the three games. He scored six times and added two assists against the Lakers. Boxla bits... The Islanders have added to their coaching staff with Shaun Springett coming onboard as a defensive assistant. Springett provides an extensive knowledge of the game from his many years of playing in the WLA and NLL, as well as coaching at the junior “A” and WLA levels.

Delta Islanders Cody Hawkins battles for the loose ball during last Saturday’s 12-10 home floor loss to the Victoria Shamrocks.

Red Sox capture Bantam interlock playoff title After shutting down Cloverdale in the top of the first inning, Costin hit a lead-off triple and later scored on Thompson’s single. In the second, Burns led off the inning with a single, stole second and third, and scored on a groundout by first baseman Kyle Clancy. The Cardinals clawed back with one run in the fourth and one in the top of the seventh to draw even. In the bottom half of the inning, back-to-

back singles by Connor Bower and Doug Bailey had the Red Sox on first and second with nobody out. A perfectly placed sacrifice bunt by third baseman Colin Maki advanced the runners. Third base coach Brian Burns called for another bunt, this time by the left hand hitting Costin. The bunt was perfect, rolling up the first base line and scoring Bower from third for a dramatic 3-2 win.

The stage was set for Sunday’s final against the Cloverdale Cubs, who went undefeated during the regular season but did lose to the Red Sox in earlier round-robin play. There was plenty of offence in the opening inning as Cloverdale jumped out to a 2-0 lead and Ladner answered with four of its own — keyed by a clutch two out double by Brenneis to drive in a pair and an two-run single by Brett Lee. This proved to be all of the run support that Brenneis would need. The Bantam Girls Team B.C. pitcher settled down after the first inning, giving up only one more run over the next four. She gave way to reliever Sean Baker, who pitched shutout baseball the remainder of the way. The Red Sox scored three insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to secure a 7-3 victory. Great pitching by Cooper, Brenneis, Baker and Andrews, and stellar defense — led by shortstop Thompson; outfielders, Costin, Dennison, Jackson Harris, Lee, Bailey, and Bower; catchers Burns and Brenneis; and infielders Maki and Clancy were keys to the Red Sox championship run. The Red Sox coaching staff, which also includes Jon Andrews and Sean Clancy, thank the players for their season long dedication, and the parents for all of their assistance and support.

Father’s Day was especially kind to a group of proud dads last Sunday. The Ladner Red Sox capped off an outstanding season by winning the Bantam A Interlock League. The circuit consisted of 20 teams, from Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta, Surrey, Newton, Cloverdale and White Rock. The Red Sox made it to the weekend and the semi-finals by prevailing in a mustwin round-robin game against the Ladner Mariners. Lexie Brenneis started on the mound for the Red Sox and pitched five fantastic five innings before leaving due to pitch count restrictions. She received plenty of support in the first inning when her team struck for five runs — thanks to a run scoring double by Mike Thompson, a triple by Payton Burns and a single by Tyler Andrews. Leading 6-3 after five innings of play, the Red Sox hung on for a thrilling 6-5 win, behind the relief pitching of Gordon Cooper and some excellent defensive work by Thompson at shortstop, and center fielder Alex Costin. Defence was also the theme of the semi-final encounter with the Cloverdale Cardinals who finished third in the regular season standings, one win better than Ladner.

mercy-rule win to advance. In the final game under the blazing sun, the locals tested the pitching of Kelowna and promptly went through three different chuckers en route to victory. Tessa Porteous, who was injured but made the trip, managed to keep score and cheer on her teammates in the final game. The Legit now look forward to the Delta Cup playdowns and trying to secure a berth in the provincials.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The weeks ahead feature property, family, security, gardening, retirement, and the establishment or strengthening of foundations (concrete and emotional/spiritual). You’ll say goodbye to some people or situations, and greet new ones. Snip off wilted vines. Chase money Monday/ Tuesday, but pay attention to major developments: 1) the change in your life and goals causes a change in your home and foundations; 2) this “home change” must face and deal with a change in status or career. Both are long-term, fill the decade ahead – many heartfelt wishes will come true before 2018! Taurus April 20-May 20: Short trips, paperwork, errands, calls, news and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. It’s a busy but not important time. A new project could arise in these areas Thursday onward. Your energy and charisma hit a beautiful peak Sunday/Monday – both days feature a critical development, one which will mold your character going forward. Not in a “war” or conflict way, but in a wisdom way. Chase money Tuesday/Wednesday – but reasonably. Information comes Thursday to Saturday – avoid taking risks in property, legal, and employment zones. Avoid gossip all week; think first. Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, seek new clients, buy/sell, and deal with all money matters for the few weeks ahead. Your overall financial, investment, net worth situation is changing – has been changing since 2008, and will continue to do so until 2023. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. Hints of this (and perhaps of tension between your social needs and your money desires) appear Sunday/Monday. Now through August 2012, don’t make the wrong financial decision based on anger, selfishness, over-independence, or a “fed up” feeling. Your energy, charisma surge mid-week – start good things!

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, effectiveness, magnetism, and optimism rise for the weeks ahead.You’re on a winning track! That is, if you don’t get knocked off it Sunday/Monday by insisting too strongly on your own way. Be flexible, discern others’ desires. Your popularity rises the rest of this year, and this Monday it could bring you love! Wish, hope, see opportunities, not oppositions. Retreat for a rest and some deep thinking Tuesday/Wednesday – good plans can hatch, and civil servants favour you. Your energy, clout rise Thursday-Saturday: but a domestic or realty problem needs solving. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Take life easy, roll with the punches this week and the next few.Lie low,rest,plan, meditate, deal with shut-ins, fulfill old obligations, be charitable and spiritual, especially Thursday to Saturday. Study career, employment, government and head-office situations Sunday/Monday – think about the changes these areas face now to 2023. Your health faces changes too: a chronic condition disappears. The decade ahead brings digestive concerns, so eat sensibly. Vegetables cure ills. Your hopes rise Tuesday/Wednesday: enjoy a pleasant interval. Saturday night brings “potent glances.” Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Hopes and wishes come true over the weeks ahead. Your optimism grows, your popularity rises. Expect flirtation, light romance, entertainment, social delights! Issue and accept invitations. Wisdom, understanding visit Sunday/Monday. You could see friends struggle, or gravitate toward one another. Be ambitious Tuesday/ Wednesday – you can make headway, all is smooth, especially in money areas related to career. Your hopes and happiness rise Thursday to Saturday, but impediments arise to money, earnings, sensuality and romance – practical impediments. Smile, bide your time.

June 26 - July 2, 2011

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The cosmos nudges you toward career, business, ambition and prestige situations for the next few weeks (especially late this week). Simultaneously, a deeper, perhaps unconscious force pulls you toward domesticity, security, foundations. You could experience this as a try-versus-quit tug-o-war. It’s there strongly Sunday/ Monday. Best approach: make changes to your career (etc.) goals in order to conform to new realities. The year ahead favours major life changes, and these could also touch a lucky wand to your investments and/or intimate life. For success: talk, be curious! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This is a gentle, sweet time of understanding and wisdom. You might meet a love who could become a life mate – though this is more favoured after July 2, as practical impediments lurk all this week (e.g., that handsome guy is a single father with 10 loud kids.) But in the big picture, you’re finally on true love’s road – though your destination could appear in any one of the fifteen years ahead. The 12 months ahead bring lucky relationships and splendid money opportunities. Love’s choice arises Tuesday. Finances, sexual urges are easy midweek, but might be subtle traps. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Mysteries, secrets, changes and commitments fill the weeks ahead, especially this Thursday-Saturday – though so many practical barriers and traps arise this week that you should wait until next week to act. (Especially to invest, change lifestyle, seek a health diagnosis, undergo surgery, seek sexual intimacy, or make any kind of important commitment or new start.) Sunday/Monday are for chores – practice safety, and eat/dress sensibly. Relationships are smooth and benign Tuesday/Wednesday – still, be wary of committing yourself (and of offered advice). Joy, Saturday late!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships are paramount during this irritating week. Be diplomatic. Bosses and VIPs seem un-amused, and practical matters run into soft, subtle but strong impediments. Opportunities will come, but the good ones arrive after July 2, not before. Sunday/Monday are romantic – you could meet someone who finds you mysteriously attractive. This could grow to “deep heights.” Tackle chores Tuesday/Wednesday, but don’t take on so much it will interfere with other activities. You’re meant to find love and pleasure this year: to deny it would be a loss. Go slow Thursday to Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The month ahead holds chores, health and nutrition concerns, and nudges you to attend to kids and pets. It’s a good time to seek employment – after this week. Though Sunday/ Monday might contain stress (Sunday) and a feeling of alienation (Monday) these days also highlight home, recuperation, Gaia, property – all imbued with good/ great fortune over the months ahead. A nice romantic breeze is wafting its way through your life June/July, and you should feel its light touch Tuesday/Wednesday. Handle chores, but avoid romance, machinery purchases, dull people, Thursday-Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges, speculation, risks and self-expression, now through late July (and especially this Thursday-Saturday). This week’s a little dicey, though, filled with practical barriers, so a bit of waiting or hesitation isn’t unwise. Sunday/Monday indelibly link your romantic and social sides, or cause a tug-o-war between the two. A friend might become a lover (or hints thereof) – or you might have to choose between the two. Domestic matters flow smoothly Tuesday/Wednesday, but might not be beneficial long-term. Talk aids career. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
