‘Garden’ sent to hearing

Neighbours still have concerns over what’s proposed for final phase of Ladner project BY

Delta council granted preliminary approval Monday to the final phase of the Marina Garden Estates housing development, sending the Ladner project to a public hearing later this month.

Captain’s Cove Marina and Polygon Homes have done a number of revisions to the large-scale proposal since the final build-out plan was announced over a year ago, but neighbours continue to voice concerns.

The most recent plan reduces the number of apartment buildings from three to one, while the height of the remaining building has been cut from five to four storeys. The number of condos has been slashed from 360 to 94, while the number of townhomes increased from 312 to 580.

The plan for 65 single-family/ duplex units was removed entirely.

Ron Ogilvy told Delta council Monday night there hasn’t been opportunity for adequate feedback on the latest proposal for Marina Garden Estates. Council agreed to send the proposal to a public hearing.

The proposal also includes a linear waterfront park.

Many Marina Gardens homeowners continue to voice opposition, complaining about an increase in density, parking and

traffic. A large contingent was on hand to see the council discussion Monday at municipal hall along with a few supporters of the proposal.

Saying the changes are a step

in the right direction but need more refinement, Ron Ogilvy told council during question period that the lack of adequate public input on the latest plan will force residents to try to defeat it.

“We’re here tonight because most of us would rather see this proposal fixed than start over with something new in six months.

We did try to avoid coming to this point, we reached out to the applicant last week when we saw this proposal to see if we can find a way to have something we can all support — the answer was no,” he said.

Bill Wheeler said hundreds of homeowners bought into the development assuming a restrictive covenant would be obeyed, but now they feel betrayed.

Council (minus recently elected MLA Scott Hamilton and vacationing Jeannie Kanakos) voted in See GARDEN page 3

Delta won’t be going through a costly by-election to fill Scott Hamilton’s council seat.

Mayor Lois Jackson announced Monday that Hamilton, who won the riding of Delta North for the Liberals in last month’s provincial election, has been granted his request for a leave. It takes effect from June 17 of this year to Jan. 7, 2014.

After that, he’ll officially step down, but it will be close enough to the November 2014 civic election so that a by-election won’t be required.

Although he is also stepping Scott Hamilton down from Delta North his commitLiberal MLA tee appointments, Hamilton still intends to take part in as many council meetings as he can, especially to ensure council has a quorum. Hamilton will not be paid during this period.

Coun. Robert Campbell said it ensures taxpayers won’t have to foot the bill for a by-election that can cost over $200,000.

Coun. Sylvia Bishop voted in opposition, saying she’s not sure Delta can be well served without a full council.

Bishop ran for the NDP against Hamilton in Delta North, losing by just over 200 votes.

Delta is already the largest city in the province to only have six councillors, and Hamilton’s absence will leave Delta with essentially five until late next year.

Following last month’s election, Premier Christy Clark asked several of her newly elected MLAs, who were also civic politicians, to take leaves of absence from their council positions to avoid by-elections.

MLA dismayed by wheelchair fee Huntington calls on Fraser Health not to make basic mobility rights an elective service of health care system BY

“This $25 fee goes toward the maintenance of the wheelchair. It’s for things like the wheel or actual tire on the wheel, to ensure those wheelchairs are in good working order,” she explained.

She said residents are assisted in the purchasing or renting wheelchairs that are customized for their needs. The cost to purchase, however, can be high, anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500, she said, while renting from outside vendors can cost from $70 to $100

monthly.

“There’s hardship waivers for individuals who already receive Medical Service Plan premium assistance, they’re exempt from the fee.

Individuals who are deemed persons with disabilities benefits, they’re exempt from the fee. So by no means is the intent to make life difficult for our residents. It’s to bring Fraser Health in line with what’s occurring across the province already,” she said.

Fraser Health has been fortunate to get donations

from the public, as well as having the hospital foundation and auxiliary purchase wheelchairs, she added.

According to the Ministry of Health’s updated Home and Community Care Policy manual, a long list of chargeable items “may include” the “purchase or rental of equipment that is for the exclusive use of the client, such as walker, wheelchair, crutches, canes or other devises, and maintenance as required.”

The new policy angers

Delta resident Malcolm Johnston, who raised the alarm to Huntington.

Saying it’s nothing more than an unscrupulous cash grab from vulnerable seniors and their families, Johnston, whose mother lives at Mountain View Manor and is subject to the pending wheelchair fee, noted the fee to live at the Ladner care home already equals 80 per cent of her limited income. What’s left is a nominal amount for care and comfort items, money health regions now want to grab as well, he said.

“The wheelchairs are donated. You’re telling me it costs $300 a year to maintain one of these things? No way, that is a cash grab and they got called out. Let’s see what the new minister of health has to say, but I’m not holding my breath.”

Johnson is concerned what other additional care and comfort items will be subject to a money grab.

His concern was echoed

by B.C. Nurses Union president Debra McPherson, who called the new fee disgraceful.

“What’s next? Charging seniors a fee every time they need a staff member to help them get to the toilet, with or without a wheelchair?” McPherson asked.

“Or putting in extra fees if they need help with their meals?

“This policy should be withdrawn immediately,” she said.

(dollars). If you grow up in a neighbourhood, you’d like to live there and maybe raise your own family there, and this modification is an improved version of it,” Chrystal added.

Located off Ferry Road, the first phases of Marina Gardens were completed over two decades ago. Over the years, several residential phases and a golf course were added.

The 87-hectare (217acre) site had originally been approved for 1,426

homes as well as the golf course, a 220-room hotel, a marina, a neighbourhood pub and limited commercial uses. To date, 619 homes have been constructed, including single-family, townhomes and duplexes.

A revised proposal unveiled last year for the final phase, which dropped the hotel altogether, called for 737 housing units, fewer than what had originally been approved. Responding to residents’ concerns, a number of revisions were

subsequently made to the layout, as well as a further reduction in the number of housing units to 674.

A staff report to council notes the proposal exceeds the maximum permitted dwelling units for the development area, however, the proposal is 133 units less than the maximum permitted for the entire Marina Gardens neighbourhood.

The report also notes a traffic impact study determined the new proposed concept is expected to

reduce development-related vehicle trips by about 17 per cent when compared to the originally approved plan, which included the hotel.

The public hearing is set for Tuesday, June 25 at municipal hall.

Marina Garden Estates homeowners opposed to the development proposal are planning to hold their own public meeting at Neilson Grove Elementary on the evening of Thursday, June 20.

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington created a stir last week after bringing to light a new user fee that’s being imposed on wheelchair-bound residents at the Mountain View Manor long-term care facility at Delta Hospital.

“We’ve all observed steadily rising user fees in the health care system causing undue hardship on our most vulnerable,” said Huntington. “The latest decision by Fraser Health, to charge a $25 monthly fee for wheelchairs and wheelchair cushions, has me speechless. It’s as if Fraser Health feels immobilizing the elderly to their beds is acceptable, while basic mobility rights are an elective service of our health care system.”

Huntington said the health region recently issued letters to residents at the care facility that the new fee, effective Sept. 1, would be charged for those borrowing a wheelchair.

Residents who cannot afford the new fee are being told to meet with a social worker, she said.

“The monthly fee might not seem like a lot to most people, but to the residents of Mountain View Manor, it is a major indignity and stress on their lives. We should not be telling our elders that basic mobility is a privilege they must pay for. In my opinion, it’s a

human right. They deserve so much more.”

Huntington is asking Fraser Health to reconsider the wheelchair user fee, and has issued an open invitation for the health authority to meet with her to discuss other ways to raise funds.

Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the health region, as well as Vancouver Coastal Health, are following Ministry of Health policy changes when it comes to the benefits and allowable charges in care facilities.

GARDEN from page 1 favour of sending the application to a public hearing.

Coun. Ian Paton noted he isn’t particularly fond of the idea of higher density housing so far removed from the Ladner core, but the applicant has the right to have the proposal brought to a public hearing.

Coun. Robert Campbell agreed, saying the public will get a chance to voice its opinion.

Residents at Mountain View Manor at Delta Hospital will soon have to pay a fee for wheelchairs.

Following the council decision, Neil Chrystal, president and CEO of Polygon Homes, told the Optimist a number of changes were made to improve the final phase.

“We know a lot of young people are excited about the prospect of being able to live in Marina Gardens.

It’s almost unattainable right now with single-family prices over one million

Waterfront revitalization plans cut down to size Council agrees to limit building heights to four storeys BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Civic efforts to revitalize the Ladner waterfront have moved a step closer to final approval.

Delta council gave conditional approval Monday to a pair of bylaws that focus on design guidelines and building heights that are aimed at attracting investment to redevelop the area.

One of those bylaws would allow building heights to go from two storeys to two-and-a-half storeys on the waterfront.

Buildings on the south side of Chisholm Street would be permitted to increase from two to four storeys, but there would also have also been a provision to allow a developer to go even higher if a “significant community benefit” was provided.

However, council on Monday agreed to an amendment by Coun. Ian Paton to remove that provision entirely.

At a public hearing last week, an overflow crowd showed up to voice opposition to the waterfront revitalization plan. Many expressed concern about the potential of six-storey

buildings taking over the area.

Coun. Robert Campbell said this week the amendment should alleviate those concerns and provide a clear, definitive statement when it comes to building heights.

Paton agreed, noting he’d like to see the revitalization plan get final approval. He pointed out Chisholm Street only has one real heritage building in Massey’s Marine Supply, while everything else is a hodgepodge of structures built in the 1960s and ‘70s.

He noted the civic waterfront revitalization advisory committee has worked on coming up with ideas to change that.

“We’ve done everything possible with our committee to try to encourage developers to come in and do what’s needed to be done to revitalize the street to make it restaurants and gift shops and all those good things, but everyone just kept raining on the parade,” he said.

“Trust me, we don’t have 15 developers or 10 — I’m not sure we even have one — that wants to do anything on Chisholm Street, but we’re trying our best to create some incentives to make

Coun. Ian Paton Don’t rain on parade that development in Ladner.

I’m telling you, with the expansion that’s going on with retail businesses out at TFN, new malls being built in Surrey, Ladner has got to survive and we’ve got to do something,” Paton added.

A report to council notes that over the years the commercial focus of Ladner moved away from the waterfront to other streets, and later to the malls on Ladner Trunk Road, leaving the waterfront less vibrant and difficult to access physically and visually.

“The waterfront is a unique place within the Ladner core which has great potential to become a people-oriented place providing strong linkages to the harbour reflecting and celebrating the historic fishing and farming roots of the community.”

Gifts for dad have less macaroni these days BARBARA GUNN

LIVING MATTERS My husband has more than a few hand-made cards.

I’ve taken the liberty of saving them. They’re in a shoebox, along with the hand-made cards for me.

Most of them were decorated with ribbons and sprinkles and confetti and dried macaroni, much of which has now drifted to the bottom of the box.

Some had been finished with finger paint or coloured felts or crayons.

They all have a drawing of my husband. They all say Happy Father’s Day. There have been other things besides the cards.

One year, there was a family tree, made from a piece of driftwood, and adorned with pictures of the clan.

There were painted coffee mugs. There were key chains made from modelling clay. There was a

Popsicle stick picture frame.

Over time, of course, the macaroni and the modelling clay featured less on Father’s Day. The Popsicle sticks began to be replaced by other things. Scratch and win cards. Sleeves of golf balls. Starbucks cards. Bags of tees. Coffee mugs — not painted by a second grader, but picked up at the dollar store.

Then came the golf shirts. The barbecue tools.

The ties. And the ties. And the ties.

The handmade cards gave way to those created

by Hallmark, the ones with kitschy poems, and with cartoon pictures of a dad holding a remote control, or a golf club or a pint of beer.

The sons’ messages would be heartfelt, and they’d be expressed in ink, rather than crayon.

Father’s Day then turned into an occasion when the honouree would be on the receiving end of a truly lovely bottle of red.

He would tear open the packaging and discover a sports shirt that was oozing with style, or a sweatshirt

that was so hip and cool, it would be borrowed by the gift-givers. Which, of course, it often was.

This year, the parcels are yet to be opened. There may well be a sports shirt or a set of beer mugs, perhaps a new putter. There may be a scratch and win ticket enclosed, likely a gift card from Starbucks.

There’ll be nothing decorated with macaroni.

The offerings will be acknowledged, and very much appreciated.

And then there will be this: a meal, taken on the deck. It will not last 20 minutes, as it did in the days of sprinkles and ribbon, but two or three hours or more. There will be appetizers and cocktails, a salad and roasted vegetables, and an entrée that will feature something that’s been slow cooked outside.

There will be a toast. There will be a bocce game. There will certainly be music.

Such is the evolution of this day that honours dad.

A card with sprinkles is special indeed. A meal with the family is treasure.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW In organizations as large as our province’s sprawling health authorities, I’m sure there are innumerable ways to either save a buck or extract one from consumers of the service. With all these options available, who could possibly think that gouging seniors for the use of a wheelchair is the right way to go?

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington was bang on to raise the alarm late last week over a plan by Fraser Health, and Vancouver Coastal Health, to charge residents in long-term care facilities a $25 monthly fee for wheelchairs effective Sept. 1. She was dismayed by the decision and has called on Fraser Health to reconsider it.

User fees are one thing, but to levy one against the most vulnerable in the system, those who would have little choice to pay it or face the possibility of being stuck in a bed 24 hours a day, is simply wrong.

Mobility is a basic right, and should be a core service of any health care institution, not something subject to user fees.

Doesn’t charging for such an essential service open the door to fees when residents are provided assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and other daily activities?

I admit, such a plan sounds farfetched, given all those tasks are the essence of care in such a setting, but so too does charging for wheelchair maintenance. Obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere with regards to what’s covered and what’s not, but surely basic mobility has to fall on the side of essential care.

The explanation that a monthly fee is required to cover the maintenance of the wheelchair is dubious at best. I’m sure there’s some upkeep necessary, but $300 each and every year? Since when did wheelchairs require oil changes? It smacks of a cash grab.

I understand health authorities face an ongoing battle to come up with enough cash to deliver the services we all expect to be there when we need them. It’s the reason pay parking rears its head every so often around here and why the Delta Hospital Foundation and Delta Hospital Auxiliary play such an integral role when it comes to equipment, patient comforts and capital projects.

There’s no doubt pennies are at a premium and those in charge of the books for health authorities are looking at every conceivable way to stretch a dollar, but charging elderly residents for basic mobility shouldn’t be on the list.

Let’s hope the pushback this plan has already been getting prompts a sober second look before the fee comes into effect.

Memories provide comfort on a Father’s Day without Dad CORRY ANDERSONFENNELL

COMMUNITY COMMENT This coming Father’s Day marks the second one I’ll be spending without my dad.

He passed away on June 23, 2011 — just four days after Father’s Day of that year, and the meal we shared as a family on that day was the last I had with him.

But I don’t want this column to be about sadness and regret. By all accounts, Morris Anderson had a rich life.

I came along when he was well into middle-age, and many of the experiences that helped shape who he was happened long before I was born. So just before his 80th birthday, my husband and I began committing his life with my mom to film.

We spent many weekend afternoons with them, going over old photos, videotaping interviews and listening, enthralled, as they gave us intimate glimpses into their

early lives.

Our intent was to create a little video commemorating their relationship and present it to them on their wedding anniversary. My dad passed away before we finished the project and although I was inconsolable then knowing he would never see it, I’ll be forever grateful for the time it gave me with him.

My dad was a rough-and-tumble sort of guy who liked his women tall, his steak burnt, his jokes dirty and his vegetables on someone else’s plate. His favourite music was country and western and he had no tolerance for long hair on men — even if such long-haired fellow was my rebellious older brother.

To those who knew him, my dad was also a storyteller, a poet, a romantic, an animal lover, a baseball fan, and an abiding defender of all those who needed defending: the poor, the weak and the disenfranchised.

A logger by profession, his particular position — high rigger — was one of the most dangerous jobs in the woods. It involved climbing trees up to 70 metres in height in a set of spurs and carrying a small axe. When he arrived at the 60-centimetre diameter mark, he would use his axe and a small filing saw

Bouncing around in the treetops with an axe and a saw wasn’t for the faint of heart, yet it was later in my dad’s career, when he became a union organizer for the IWA Local 1-71, that truly tested his mettle.

The union was in rather tense contract negotiations and my dad was instructed by the leadership to convince the 1,400 woodworkers in his local to accept a five-centper-hour salary increase. Even back then, when the average hourly salary was around $2, five cents was an insult.

So my dad told the members in his charge to reject the offer, and 82 per cent of them listened. His act of defiance against the union cost him his job, but that wasn’t the end of it. Twelve hundred of the men he represented signed a petition to have him reinstated, and while they were ultimately unsuccessful, dad never regretted his choice.

This is my sister’s favourite story about my dad because it perfectly epitomizes the principles by which he lived his entire life. My dad is missed, to be sure.

For all the many daughters and sons who are remembering their fathers instead of celebrating with them, Happy Father’s Day.

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

Same plan means same concerns Editor: Re: ‘Middle ground’ buoys Hodgins, June 5 I was wondering where Sean Hodgins was suddenly finding the “middle ground” that he is supposedly been getting “positive feedback” from.

There has been nothing more done to alleviate the basic and inherent problems all documented with this proposed development.

How many people actually said or thought, “Wow, look at the work that has gone into this to answer questions and be very, very, reasonable, if not extraordinarily generous,” I wonder?

If “the plan has undergone a few refinements but the overall concept remains unchanged,” then public opinion will remain unchanged. The same easels were out on display as last time and there are still many questions and issues left unresolved.

Writer not looking too hard as farming activity taking place

Editor: Re: Another looking to downsize supports Southlands plan, letter to the editor, June 5 Isabel Ferretti says she’s lived in Tsawwassen for seven years and the only farming she sees being done on Southlands is by Earthwise. Really? I suggest she visit the area of 56th Street and 6th Avenue

in order to look at the large swath of land being nicely farmed. Potatoes appear to be prolific and the land looks tidy and nicely tilled.

Ferretti is wrong in saying that many people in this community do not support Earthwise. Has she even been there? The farm store, open two days a week, is popular with many subscribing to the CSA boxes.

The monthly summer events are fantastic, with vendors selling a variety of products and on occasion visitors are even entertained by local musicians. It’s a place for people of all ages, and is well supported by Tsawwassen residents. I love taking out of town visitors to Earthwise and they are always delighted.

Asinine proposal to charge wheelchair usage fee

Editor: The wheelchair usage fee at extended care facilities is an asinine and offensive proposal from Fraser Health.

Surely the bureaucrats should know by now they caused us enough heartache with their plan to cut services at our hospital.

Can’t they find proper

jobs?

At least our present MLA has the sense and integrity to represent us in rebuking them.

Pat Cash

Why is there no bus service to River Road West?

Editor: I have a question for TransLink: Why is there no bus service from 46A Street and River Road to River Road West out past the Westham Island Bridge?

There are hundreds of residents but no service. I have to walk over a kilome-

tre to catch a bus.

When I see bus service out in the countryside all the way to Tsawwassen, I ask why can’t we have a shuttle out to River Road West in Ladner?

There is also bus service out to Boundary Bay Airport and down Highway

New brewery in Tilbury is a real family affair

CANADA SAFEWAY FOUNDATION RECEPTION

Greg Mills and sons open Four Winds Brewing

THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013 Since 2002, the Canada Safeway Foundation has invested funds and resources to multiple organizations in British Columbia. The impact has been wide-reaching with support of hunger prevention, families living with disabilities as well as prostate and breast cancer research. Over the last eleven years, over $4 million has been donated to more than twenty innovative programs and organizations across the province.

Tilbury is home to a new craft brewery.

Four Winds Brewing, a family business, opened its doors earlier this month with an open house that saw about 400 people come by.

“We kegged our first beers last week,” said Greg Mills in an interview last week.

The new venture is led

by Mills and his sons Brent, Sean and Adam.

Four Winds will have four full-time beers: an American-style pale ale, a West Coast-style IPA, a Belgian saison (a farmhouse type ale) and a pilsner. The first three are available now while the pilsner is on its way.

There are three other beers available only at the craft brewery’s tasting room: a smoked porter, a Belgian witbier and a wildflower saison.

“Those limited batches in our tasting room will be changing all the time,” said Brent, who has worked at a

Customers who come to the tasting room and would like beer to go can buy growlers.

“It’s the freshest beer you can possibly get, straight from the tap at a brewery,” said Brent.

Four Winds’ bottling line should arrive early next month.

Greg Mills also said to look for their product

at local bars, including Sharkey’s Seafood Bar & Grille in Ladner.

John’s Thistle Auto marks three decades in Ladner

One local mechanic is marking 30 years in the community this year.

John McCafferty, who owns John’s Thistle Auto in Ladner, has been helping make sure South Delta vehicles run smoothly since the early 1980s.

McCafferty immigrated to Canada from Scotland in 1982 and started working at Thistle Auto. He was just 22.

A year later, McCafferty took over the business and it became John’s Thistle Auto.

McCafferty and his team have been offering consistent and friendly service to local motorists ever since.

The full service automotive repair and maintenance shop has four licenced technicians on staff with more than 80 years of experience combined as well as two apprentice technicians.

The service manager and service advisor make sure every vehicle that comes through the doors gets the service it needs.

Father’s Day

Celebrate Father’s Day with breakfast in park

13th annual event set for Sunday at Centennial The kitchen is a 26-foot long, full-service trailer capable of running for 28 hours straight. Although the new mobile kitchen is used mainly for community events, it is notable that should an unexpected emergency displace people, the Lions Club is able to fill a void.

Family entertainment will be provided by local band Kindred Spirits, interactive nature displays will be offered and there will be face painting and the playground for the children.

Delta Sports Hall of Fame’s class of 2013 was introduced at the annual banquet of champions on Saturday night. The inductees include (top left) Maurice Hamilin with presenter Laurie Collicutt. (Bottom left) Francis Raderecht with Robert Campbell and (above) Shirley Burr with Mayor Lois Jackson.

Hall of Fame welcomes 7 new inductees Founder of Ladner Girls Soccer Club and Ladner Pioneers senior “B” lacrosse franchise among Delta’s class of 2013 already poured years of volunteer work into the local lacrosse community by overseeing the Westham Islanders intermediate “B” and Delta Islanders junior “B” programs.

At that time, there was no local options for graduating junior players to continue playing Canada’s official sport.

That changed thanks to Burr’s efforts.

She canvassed local businesses and the farming community to raise enough money to apply for a senior “B” franchise. The Ladner Pioneers were born and have gone on to become one of the most successful teams in the history of the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association, winning provincial and national titles.

Coach Maurice Hamlin (hockey) This longtime Tsawwassen resident has been coaching minor hockey for over 25 years including the past eight at the juvenile level. The division is for 18-to-20year-olds who are no longer chasing the Canadian dream but wish to keep playing while balancing post-secondary education or full-time work.

There is perhaps no “glory” for juvenile coaches compared to higher profile younger divisions but don’t tell Hamlin that.

His outstanding program and track record reflect that.

He has been running the juvenile program in Richmond for the past eight years and this past spring guided the Blues to

Tides at Tsawwassen Pacific Standard Time. Height in feet

their fourth consecutive B.C. title.

Athlete Ravi Kahlon (field hockey) This longtime member of Canada’s national team program competed at every level of international competition — World Cup, Commonwealth Games, Pan Am Games and Olympic Games. In 2000, Kahlon saw double duty, first helping the national junior team place third in World Cup qualifying, then played for the senior squad at the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney.

He helped Canada win gold at the 2007 Pan Am Games and concluded his outstanding playing career at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing.

Ron Clarke (softball) A longtime North Delta resident, Clarke’s combination of speed and finesse led to a great career and recognition as one of the best softball players in the world during his era. He played for nearly three decades, primarily in the senior “A” men’s league out of South Memorial Park. In the 1960s, Clarke travelled extensively throughout North America, playing not only for his club teams but for his country.

He was a three-time all-star at the ASA National Championships, regarded as the top international tournament in the US. Men’s softball was a demonstration sport at the 1966 Pan American Games where Clarke helped Canada win bronze.

Team Ladner Beatty Babes (soccer) One of the first-ever Ladner girls soccer teams proved to be its most decorated one. After two seasons of modest success, manager Ron Steel convinced Frank Pupp to step in as coach and the Babes began to realize their potential.

In 1977, Ladner went undefeated en route to the league championship and would later capture the district title to advance to the Provincial Cup playdowns.

A memorable post-season march concluded with the Beatty Babes knocking off defending champion Blue Mountain Rangers 1-0 in the cup final to become Delta’s first-ever girls provincial champion.

The team went on to place second at the Western Canadian Championships in Edmonton.

The Babes won six more league and district championships before the team disbanded in 1985.

Sponsor MK Delta Lands Group Joanne Barnett and Teresa Cooper This Delta business has welcomed the opportunity to participate in the community since being established eight years ago.

MK Delta Lands Group’s ongoing commitment to the Tour de Delta bike race weekend continues again this year. The company also actively participates in Delta Hospital Foundation fundraising events.

Two women who contributed greatly to the current athletic landscape in this region are part of the 2013 Delta Sports Hall of Fame Class.

Lacrosse builder Shirley Burr and girls soccer pioneer Francis Raderecht were officially inducted in front of a sold out crowd at the Banquet of Champions on Saturday night at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. They are joined by athletes Ron Clarke (softball) and Ravi Kahlon (field hockey), minor hockey coach Maurice Hamlin, the Ladner Beatty Babes soccer team and sponsor MK Delta Lands Group.

Here is a rundown of the seven inductees Pioneer Francis Raderecht (soccer) It’s hard to believe that up until the early 1970s there were no options for girls to play organized soccer. That all changed with the tireless efforts of this Ladner mom.

It started with a simple notice on a bulletin board at a local elementary school.

Thirty potential players showed interest and girls soccer was off and running, not only in South Delta but the rest of the province as well. Two Ladner teams were formed and a year later the Ladner Girls Soccer Club was born with Raderecht overseeing the organization as president.

Builder Shirley Burr (lacrosse) This longtime Ladner resident had

Jones invited to U16 camp

Sun Devils pair help BC win Border Bowl

South Delta Bantam A1 Storm defenceman Ryan Jones is among 44 players invited to this summer’s B.C. Hockey U16 provincial camp in Nanaimo.

The five-day camp will include on and off-ice activities and will introduce high performance athletes to the most up to date information and concepts as they relate to both National and International levels of hockey.

Jones, listed at 5-foot-9 160pounds, played on the winning side at the B.C. Cup in Salmon Arm in April.

He will be looking to earn one of 20 roster spots up for grabs to represent the province at the 2013

South Delta Sun Devils football players Austin Pearson (left) and Aaron Parker helped B.C. capture the inaugural ABC Rising Stars Border Bowl with a 30-23 victory over Alberta.

Pearson was team co-captain and starting middle linebacker. He came up with a key tackle at the goalline in the fourth quarter with Alberta threatening to tie the game. Parker then helped B.C control the ball the rest of the way with strong play at offensive guard.

The game took place in Kelowna.

Pearson and Parker earned their spots on the B.C. roster through an earlier tryout camp.

He had a long career with Pacific Press, returning to Vancouver Island, Nanaimo area, when he retired. Glen spent many happy times with friends and family camping, fishing, golfing and playing the slot machines. He made many new friends after moving into Kiwanis Villa. Glen had a wonderful sense of humour and contagious smile that will be missed by many. We would like to thank the staff at Kiwanis for all their care of our dad. There will be a celebration of his life with an open house at Kiwanis Villa in Nanaimo from 12-2:00 pm on Saturday, June 22.

JENKINS, Winnifred Patricia (nee Williamson)

February 5, 1955 – June 1, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Dr. Don Burkett from heart failure on Saturday, June 1st, 2013. Don is survived by his loving family: wife, Barb, his son, Dan, his daughter, Josie, his mother, Rhoda, and two brothers, Barry and Dave (wife, Sylva). Don was predeceased by his father Robert Burkett in October, 2010.

Don and Barb met at University, were married on July 10, 1982 and have been partners in life for 40 years.

He was born in Flin Flon and lived his formative years in Lynn Lake, Manitoba. The family moved to Tsawwassen when Don was a young teenager. After graduating from DSS he attended Douglas College and UBC, eventually studying Chiropractic at CMCC in Toronto where he received Clinical Honors, graduating in May of 1982. Later that year he opened his practice and has served the community continuously in the same office ever since.

When he was not practicing, Dr. Burkett was involved in many community groups. One of his greatest joys was his music.

He was an accomplished jazz guitar and bass player, actively involved for many years with the Delta Community Music School. He performed regularly around the lower mainland with his best friend, saxophone player Bob Miller in the jazz ensemble, The Bossa Boys. He was a long time member and a Paul Harris Fellow with the Rotary Club of Ladner. Several years ago through Rotary he worked hard to restore the garden at the Mountain View Manor. In recent years, environmentalism has played a major role in his life. He volunteered with the Nicomekl Enhancement Society and more recently the Spartina Working Group of BC. He worked tirelessly to free the shores of Boundary Bay of the damaging reed grass Spartina angelica.

Don’s beloved Norfolk terrier, Daisy, accompanied him wherever possible: into the office to help heal his patients and out on the mud flats to help save the planet. Don loved people. He brought together volunteers from every part of the community, from all walks of life for his various projects. He was known for his colorful Hawaiian shirts. He said he wore them to encourage the sun to shine but we know it wasn’t the shirt; it was the man inside the shirt that made the world a brighter place.

May he rest in peace and may the rest of you left behind know that our lives are a lot richer for having known Don. A good man. A loving and devoted husband and father. A talented and dedicated chiropractor. A silly man. A wild man. A joyful man. A compassionate man. A wonderful man. And a friend.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Church of Vancouver, 49th and Oak. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Ladner Rotary Club Memorial Fund for Dr. Don Burkett. If you own a Hawaiian shirt please wear it. Don would like that.
