Delta Mayor LoisJackson created a bitof a stir last week witha comment she madewhile talking about MetroVancouver’s possible con-struction of a waste-to-energy plant.

The idea of sending theregion’s waste to a garbageincinerator has become acontentious one. While sup-ported by Metro Vancouver,those in the neighbouringregional district have a dif-

ferent opinion.Fraser Valley Regional

District chair Patricia Ross,who is also an Abbotsfordcouncillor, has said thereis absolutely no conditionunder which incineration ofgarbage will be acceptable.Many in the Fraser Valleyhave serious concerns aboutthe effect a garbage incin-erator will have on thatregion’s air quality.

Jackson was on CKNW’sBill Good Show lastTuesday morning when shewas asked about the FVRDchair’s “absolute” stance on

the issue.“Well, you know, we

can take an absolute standon anything. And we haveseen what happened when agentleman took an absolutestand in another part of theworld,” she said in responseto the question, referencingthe mass murder and bomb-ing in Norway last month.

“What was at stakehere was the question ofabsolutes,” Jackson saidThursday. “I was thinkingabout absolutes. It was avery poor analogy.”

She went on to tell Good

that the two sides need tosit down, talk about theissues and look at the sci-ence, rather than taking an“absolute stand,” but thedamage was already done.

Jackson said she apolo-gized on air to one callerwho took offence to thecomment. She also saidshe called Ross as soon aspossible to apologize, andsent a formal letter of apol-ogy, both of which wereaccepted.

“I have a great deal ofrespect for Patricia Ross,”Jackson said. “I couldn’t

believe that I had said that.”The mayor said she was

simply trying to makethe point that having anabsolute position on anyissue does not foster opendialogue, but chose a “verypoor” analogy.

The comment was high-lighted in Georgia Straighteditor Charlie Smith’s bloglast Tuesday, which promot-ed an angry response fromChilliwack MLA John Les.

“It’s about as over thetop as anything I’ve everseen,” Les told the OptimistThursday, adding he was

disgusted by Jackson’s com-ment.

Mayor sorry for radio commentJackson apologizes to Fraser Valley politician for taking issue with her ‘absolute’ stance on garbage incinerator

A new lane on Highway99 on the Richmond side ofthe George Massey Tunnelwill soon open, but it willbe for buses only.

A Ministry ofTransportation spokesper-son confirmed the bus-onlylane is set to open in mid-August, enabling north-bound buses on Highway99 in Richmond to bypasstraffic congestion.

It extends fromWestminster Highway toBridgeport Road, a distanceof 2.8 kilometres. Not evencars with multiple occu-pants will be permitted touse the lane.

The province says the$4.7 million project ispart of a larger plan calledRapidBus BC, which willeventually carry transitcommuters from WhiteRock to the Canada Linestation in Richmond.

On another transit front,Mayor Lois Jackson, whochairs the Metro Vancouverboard of directors, recentlyvoted against fundingoptions endorsed by amajority of regional districtmayors for the proposedEvergreen Line rapid tran-sit line and other transitimprovements.

Saying TransLink isalready shortchanging Deltaresidents, Jackson said theywouldn’t be happy about a

proposed $23 hike on theirproperty tax bill.

The transit plan, whichfeatures additions includ-ing a B-line service onKing George Boulevard inSurrey, also has a two-centper litre gas tax increase.Jackson said the gas tax isenough to pay for the rapidtransit line.

TransLink is bringing theplan back to the public forcomment and the mayorsare to vote on final approvalthis fall.

Delta council recentlydiscussed TransLink’s pro-posals and the transporta-tion authority’s continuedreluctance to consider alight rail system south ofthe Fraser.

Provincial AgricultureMinister Don McRae metwith greenhouse grow-ers at Village Farms on80th Street in Ladner lastMonday to discuss thegrowers’ concerns aboutthe added costs of the pro-vincial carbon tax.

Delta South MLA VickiHuntington, who arrangedand attended the meet-ing, said the greenhouseindustry, like the cementindustry in Delta, has beenhit particularly hard by thetax.

While the tax has itsmerits, it has also resultedin serious competitivedisadvantages for theseindustries, which face stiffcompetition from tax-free

competitors in other juris-dictions, she said.

To add to the govern-ment-driven Catch 22,she said, greenhouses thatpioneered co-generationopportunities are beingpenalized by not being eli-

gible to take advantage ofcarbon offsets.

Huntington said McRaeunderstood the dilemmaand advised growers hehas spoken about the issuewith the minister of envi-ronment.

Delta would like tosee more testing aroundthe possible air qualityimpacts of the South FraserPerimeter Road.

At last Monday night’sDelta council meeting, civicpoliticians voted in favourof sending a letter to theMinistry of Transportationasking the government totest and compare the airquality results from anexisting highway intersec-tion versus an existinginterchange.

The municipality andDelta’s environment advi-sory committee have longheld the position that theintersections planned forthe new highway should beinterchanges.

Delta had previouslyasked the ministry to con-duct additional air qualitymodelling of the areas thatwill have intersections.

The ministry has said,based on the advice of anair quality specialist, thereis no additional modeling

planned based on thefact the magnitude ofchange in emissions,given the trafficvolumes, would betoo small to detectchanges in air qualitythrough modelling.

Delta’s environ-ment committeedeemed this responseunsatisfactory andasked council to sendthe request for test-ing and comparisonof existing inter-sections and inter-changes.

“A committee memberprovided an example ofa study that provided indetail, the difference invehicle emission compar-ing an intersection and aninterchange that showedemissions significantlylower for vehicles travelingthrough an interchange ver-sus an intersection,” stated awritten report presented tocouncil.

Gateway has said thatthe intersections — whichare planned for 80th Street,near the Delta Community

Animal Shelter in Tilbury,and near Nordel Way andRiver Road in Sunbury —could be transformed intointerchanges at a later dateif traffic volumes warrant.

A spokesperson withMinistry of Transportationand Highways told theOptimist last year thattraffic studies foundthose intersections couldaccommodate the antici-pated opening day trafficvolumes. The project hasacquired and preloadedproperty for future inter-change construction.

“Many people bring theirchildren to the festival partof the event, and then theytake them back home whenthe sun sets. Other peoplestart coming over to thepark later in the eveningand they are just there forthe movie showing on thescreen. There is a period oftime when the two groupsmerge and the park is alivewith people. It is very funto watch.”

Activities planned forthe pre-movie festival thisSaturday include a freenine-hole mini golf courte-sy of Tsawwassen Springs,

the presenting sponsor forthe night.

Two dozen LowerMainland Green Teamvolunteers joined forceswith the Cougar CreekStreamkeepers at the DeltaNature Reserve recently totackle invasive ivy.

English ivy is an ever-green climbing vine thatwas introduced to NorthAmerica as a gardenornamental by Europeanimmigrants. It is an aggres-sive, invasive plant that hassince become widespread insouthwestern B.C., quicklyspreading into forests.

Ivy is a serious threatand smothers native plants

and trees by out competingthem for light, moistureand nutrients. Accordingto Evergreen, a nationalenvironmental non-profitorganization, ivy can kill amature tree in less than 10years.

The Delta NatureReserve is an area of BurnsBog open for public usethat has a wide range offlora and fauna. Its board-walks meander throughcedar forest and old growthspruce trees.

Many of the volunteershad never been to thereserve or removed ivy, but

they enthusiastically dovein and made a real impact,saving trees and nativeplants in this important eco-logical site.

Using gloves, prunersand saws, the joint effortresulted in an impressive 16cubic yards of ivy removed.

The Delta HospitalFoundation’s 13th annualMoonlight Gala will be“putting on the Ritz” with a1920s-inspired evening nextmonth.

The annual fundrais-ing event, set for Saturday,Sept. 17 and presented forthe second consecutiveyear by Envision Financial,will be held in the newlybuilt gym at Sacred HeartSchool. The 5,400-square-foot facility will be unique-ly decorated for the Roaring‘20s theme.

The signature event, co-chaired by Sarah Toigo andMargo Peerless, is the foun-dation’s largest fundraiserof the year. It is expectedto bring together 300 com-munity members and raisean estimated $250,000 tosupport the Delta HospitalFoundation Cancer CareFund, a new fund dedicatedto excellence in early detec-tion and the purchase ofdiagnostic equipment for

cancer patients.Beginning at 5:30 p.m.,

guests will be treated to aritzy night that includes acocktail reception, elegantdinner, silent and live auc-

tions, raffles, games, musicand dancing. In keepingwith the evening’s inspira-tion, guests are invited tocome in 1920s dress toexpress the dynamic culture

of the decade.Envision Financial presi-

dent Bev Brown is pleasedto be participating againthis year.

“We, at Envision, share

the wider concerns of ourmembers and we want tomake a difference in thecommunities in which weoperate,” said Brown. “TheDelta Hospital Foundationplays a vital role in thecommunity of Delta andwe are proud to be thepresenting sponsor of theMoonlight Gala for a sec-ond consecutive year.”

The Delta HospitalFoundation has created theCancer Care Fund to pro-vide dedicated resourcesto early detection and thepurchase of diagnosticequipment for the care andtreatment of cancer patients.

Today, the fund has over$288,000 devoted to cancercare at Delta Hospital.

“[The Cancer Care Fund]is designed to be a livingfund,” said Lois Wilkinson,chair of the Delta HospitalFoundation board. “It willgrow and change as theneeds of this community

and this hospital evolve.”With new and state-of-

the-art equipment constant-ly developing, the DeltaHospital Foundation willcontinue to raise money toprovide the best equipmentand health care for patients.

The Cancer Care Fundwas officially kicked offat the foundation’s 12thannual Delta Health GolfClassic in June. The firsttwo contributions werecorporate donations madeby the Royal Bank ofCanada Foundation andThe Wheaton Group,

which donated $10,000 and$5,000, respectively.

The current total reflectsall money raised at the golftournament and sponsorshipcurrently pledged to theMoonlight Gala, which willalso focus all its fundraisingon cancer care.

The generosity of thefoundation’s donors helpedbuild an endoscopy suite in2009. Last year, over 4,200procedures were performedin the suite, helping todiagnose colorectal cancer,one of the leading types ofcancer in Canada.

Additionally, Delta is thenumber two ranked com-munity in Fraser Healthfor female cancer screen-ing. Both Delta Hospital’smammography and cervicalcancer screening programshave an over 50 per centparticipation rate for theirtargeted age groups.

Don’t burnprecioustax dollars

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

It’s one thing to see our garbage go upin smoke, but it’s quite another to do thesame with our tax dollars.

Provincial government approval lastweek of Metro Vancouver’s solid wasteplan has cleared the way for regionalofficials to pursue the construction ofone or more garbage incinerators (sorry,I mean waste-to-energy facilities). It’sall very preliminary at this stage, sowhat they’ll look like and where they’llbe located still has to be determined,but you can bet this process will lead tosome pretty heated discussions.

Here in Delta, however, the debateextends beyond these garbage burners toinclude the Vancouver Landfill, which,although it’s not the sexiest amenity tohouse, is actually quite a cash cow forthe host municipality. We don’t pay todump and we receive a cut (royalties)when others do at the landfill in EastLadner, so if this practice were to besignificantly curtailed, and garbage wassent to these waste-to-energy facilitiesinstead, it would be a financial blow forlocal taxpayers.

According to a report from civicfinance director Karl Preuss, losing theroyalty revenue could increase prop-erty taxes by 2.5 per cent or more andthe loss of free disposal of our garbagewould result in another $100 added to thealready rapidly-climbing utility bills.

With that collective benefit peggedat something in the neighbourhood of$5 million annually, I’m not so surewe should be turning our backs on thelandfill in favour of incineration withoutsome serious discussions.

I recognize many Lower Mainlandjurisdictions don’t have the luxury ofsuch an option, which is perhaps whyMetro officials fell in love with incin-eration after plans to expand interiorlandfills failed, but in Delta we do havea choice.

I suppose burning is a bit better thanburying our garbage, although I suspectyou’d get an argument from the folks outin the eastern Fraser Valley about that.Neither strikes me as an environmentallyfriendly practice, which has me question-ing whether we should jump to the otherside when the financial ramifications areso substantial.

Maybe I’m too fixated on a bottomline that clearly favours landfilling, butthe rest of the region was quite preparedto stay with that practice until its expan-sion plans fell through. Now we’re toldwaste-to-energy is the way to go.

It might well make the most sense forthose areas without an alternative. InDelta, however, we have the luxury of achoice.

We all have handicaps.Not a one of us is perfect.Some handicaps are more obvi-

ous than others, and some handi-caps make life more difficult thanothers.

For most of us, our handicapsare relatively minor. Some folksaren’t as educated as they’d liketo be and don’t have the time toupgrade. Or they don’t have thejob they’d like or the boss nobodylikes.

Such handicaps can be discour-aging for some people (or propelothers to make positive changes intheir lives), but they’re not exactlythe sort of stuff that can get you ablue tag and special parking privi-leges.

Even less convincing of a needfor special treatment is a handi-cap that seems to be emerging inendemic proportions — an entirelyavoidable mental handicap... oractually, an ego handicap.

And I mean too much ego.Egos are getting in the way of

normal and reasonable functioningfor a lot of people.

And the trouble with this handi-cap is that it affects other peoplemore than it affects the afflicted.

We’re all getting better thaneverybody else.

At least, it has become the vogueto believe that we are better thaneverybody else — that we deserveeverything that we can get, at theexpense of anyone else.

OK, if we were all playing ona level field, I’d accept that withequal opportunity comes equalresponsibility to take care of our-selves, to stand up for ourselves.

But what about those among uswho can’t stand up for themselves?

What about those who can’tstand up?

You see it darned near every day.A car careens into a space set

aside for handicap parking.Out of the car jumps a robust

young man or woman — or not soyoung, but obviously able-bodied— and saunters over to the neareststore, bank, what-have-you.

There is no blue “handicapped”tag hanging from the mirror.

Sometimes it’s difficult to besure from just a quick glance— sometimes people with genuinephysical handicaps, like post-poliosufferers, for instance, aren’t easyto spot.

But this person who has boltedfrom his vehicle and blasted his

way to the nearby shop door is soobviously full of health and vigorthat you’d laugh out loud if therewere such a tag in his window.

You could say something.You even know that you should

really say something. The loutshould be brought to task for histransgression.

But past experience tells youthere’s little point. Your interven-tion, however well intentioned,is likely to reap little more thanscorn, foul language and ignorantdisregard.

Indeed, memory of a fairlyrecent, incredible newscast bringsto mind the possibility that eventhe most polite reminder could getyou a punch in the nose.

While we are all, indeed,handicapped to a greater or lesserdegree, we need, as individuals, tostart focusing on the handicaps thatare unavoidable.

Blind people can’t avoid beingblind. Paraplegic people can’t sim-ply rewire themselves with newnerves, and amputees can’t grownew limbs.

But jerks don’t have to be jerks.They can exercise compassion ifthey want to. Maybe a $100 finecould help in their rehabilitation.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Amidst the over-

grown greenery that isTsawwassen sits St. David’sAnglican Church. Adjacentare two large houses thatare care homes for seniorsrun as non-profits by theSt. David’s Society. Notmany people in Ladner orTsawwassen are familiarwith Abbeyfield.

There are two houses,

north and south. Northhouse is facing a crisis.The housekeeper, DarleneCarrothers, is leaving after12 years of attention anddevotion to the elderlypeople in her care.

Each of her charges hasspecial needs. She performsthese duties with compas-sion and good cheer. Shewill be sorely missed.

Ever the Florence

Nightingale, she is leav-ing because her family inThunder Bay needs her.Their gain is our loss.

Seniors are an adaptablelot, but without Darlene’shelping hand to guide us,it won’t be easy. God blessand good luck, Darlene.Leave with our blessing andknow that we love you.

Residents ofAbbeyfield North

Editor:Re: Quasi-park to get

even bigger, Murphy’s Law,July 27

I was very disappointedto read Ted Murphy’sremarks with respect toChilukhtan Slough. He saidthe slough was “dirty” andindicated something neededto be done about it. I cantell he is no champion forthe environment by thesecomments.

First of all, ChilukhtanSlough is not dirty. It isdoing exactly what it issupposed to do. It goes inand out with the tide, whichstirs up mud from the bot-tom, making the sloughlook muddy.

In the summer, the

slough is held at a highlevel so the farmers can useit for irrigation. During thisperiod of time it is greenishin colour.

The point is that no mat-ter what colour the sloughis, it is a beautiful thing.It is home to all kinds ofwildlife and it is a com-pletely healthy ecosystem.The farming communityrelies on it for irrigation.

I live on ChilukhtanSlough and some years agoI noticed a lot of vegeta-tion growing up from thebottom at this time of year.Thinking it might be thedreaded milfoil, I contactedthe municipality. Someonecame out and had a lookat it and advised me it was

not milfoil, but pondweed,which was great becauseit indicated the slough washealthy.

By categorizing theslough as dirty, uneducatedpersons might believe it isof no value and it wouldn’tmatter if garbage werethrown into it, or if oil orother toxins drained into it.To say the least, Murphy’scomments are not helpful.

Murphy also says some-thing should be done aboutit. What would he suggest?Plowing it under? Paving it?

Leave Chilukhtan Sloughalone. It’s doing just fine asall of its inhabitants will tellyou, if you’ll just take thetime to listen.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Two-wheeled gangs

continue to plague otherroad users, Community

Comment, July 27Dan Southard’s anti-

cycling article offends meless as a proud member ofa local “two-wheeled gang”than it does as a writer.

Not only does Southardclearly have no idea whatcycling is about, he has noconcept of unity, a funda-mental principle of writing.Unity is an author who putsa reader in a bike trailer andpulls her from idea to idea

towards a single destination.His passenger should makeno effort; her feet shouldnever touch the pedals.

More importantly, sheshould be so comfortableand confident in her driverthat she never worries onceabout where she is going.She knows she will getthere and be richer for theexperience.

Reading Southard’s piece,I felt like I was on that lastkilometre of RobertsonRoad on Westham Island,that part the leads to theReifel Bird Sanctuary.

The pavement is pockedwith tire-busting potholesand the shoulder (what littlethere is) slopes precariouslyinto a ditch and has causedmore than one of our lit-tlest club riders to wipe outand cry to turn back. Thisliterary scofflaw made mewant to turn back more thanonce.

Southard’s worstoffence is his transi-tion from “cyclists as ascourge” to his thoughtson the Evergreen Line, theSkyTrain extension fromClark station to Lougheed.

This is where the roadforked multifariously and Iwent from being offendedas a cyclist to being evenmore offended as a writer.

What is this piece ofwriting about? Cyclists?SkyTrain? The munici-pal election? Householdand government budgets?Provincial politics?

By scoffing at the prin-ciple of unity, Southardmakes this reader anxious,uncomfortable and impov-erished — and that’s toojust much pedaling.

Editor:Re: Two-wheeled gangs

Comment, July 27Maybe Dan Southard

should have worn a helmetwhen he was young. I sus-pect he may have unknow-ingly damaged his cranium.

His article is one of mis-information. Cyclists dohave the same rights of theroad as motorists. We nowneed helmets, accordingto law and for protectionfrom motorists driving us

off the road. Our clothingis for comfort along withreducing the effect of windresistance.

The cyclists he refersto are probably riding inexcess of 30 km/h on theopen road away from towns.The wind resistance at thesespeeds is considerable. Thetight fitting clothes are aneffort to reduce drag.

We cycle for fitness andas a sport along with com-peting in cycling eventshere and province-wide. Weare, in general, very fit and

many of us are seniors.Motorists, from my

observations, often fail tostop in order to give cycliststhe right of way. Motoristsare not blameless in run-ning red lights. Stand onthe corner of 12th Avenueand 56th Street for a fewminutes.

I personally have beencut off approaching a stopsign by motorists who haveto beat me by a second ortwo. A cyclist cannot takeon a 2,000-pound piece ofsteel. This is a recurring

problem.From my experience in

years of cycling, I find oneof the most dangerous areasis a school zone.

May I suggest Southardapproach a group of cyclistsand ask to join it at sometime. Just go for an hour ormaybe less.

I am sure he might geta different perspective ofcyclists and the enjoymentthey experience. He mighteven write a more informedcolumn in future.

It has recently come tomy attention that I am not a140-characters-or-less typeof person.

I do not speak that way.Generally, I figure, I speakin 250 characters. Or 500.Or 3,000, especially if I’vejust been to a really, reallygood movie and want togive someone a decent sum-mary of the storyline.

But 140? Forget it.Still, those are the rules

of Twitter.“You’ve got to get

on,” my husband said.“Everyone’s on Twitter.”

“You have to,” said afriend. “Otherwise, you’llnever know what’s goingon.”

So I did. I signed up — ifthat’s what you call it. Icobbled together a profile. Ihunted down followers.

And then I tried to say

something. In 140 charac-ters or less.

“I have just been to THEBEST movie,” I said. “BestI’ve seen in ages. It starsJason Bateman and CharlieDay and someone elsewhose name I can’t remem-ber. Oh, and cameos byJennifer Aniston and KevinSpacey. VERY funny anda perfect bit of mindless,summer entertainment. Butget there early if you want agood seat because this onefills up early.”

I wanted to also mentionthat I’d ordered a large pop-corn, sans butter, and somered licorice, but Twittersaid no way. In fact, Twittersaid I’d already rambled onWAY too long.

“You have to keep itshort,” advised my husband.“Those are the rules.”

“Why are those therules?” I asked. “Thoserules are stupid.”

The husband sighed.“I DON’T KNOW why

those are the rules,” he said.“They just ARE. You haveto keep it SHORT.”

I tried again. I removed

the reference to the personwhose name I couldn’tremember. I removed thesuggestion that viewers getthere early.

No go, said Twitter. Waytoo long.

“This is stupid,” Iobserved. “This is really,really stupid. Who talks likethis anyway?”

The husband suggested Imight like to trim my tweet.

“Short,” he said. “Shortand really succinct.”

I tried again.I took out the reference

to Charlie Day. And thereference to Kevin Spacey.And the reference to “mind-less summer entertainment.”

Forget it, said Twitter,thumbing its online noseat me.

I gave it one more try.“Movie. Aniston. Funny.

Licorice. Red.”OK, said Twitter, now

you’ve got it.I have no idea whether

anyone will understand mytweet, or even pass it along.

But it’s there if you wantto take a look. At least youknow what I wanted to say.

Too much to say to limitit to just 140 characters

Linda Jackson, FraserValley Telus Club com-munity ambassador, madea recent visit to the DeltaHospice Society to presenta cheque for $56,526 aspart of the Telus commit-ment to Delta.

“Telus believes in theimportance of commu-nity and we are pleased todouble match donationsmade to the Delta HospiceSociety through the TeamTelus Charitable Givingprogram for the next threeyears,” said Jill Schnarr,vice president of commu-nity affairs at Telus.

“Through this program,team members and retireesdonate to their charitiesof choice,” said Schnarr.

“We know that Telus teammembers are proud to sup-port important communityhealth care projects thatbenefit the communitieswhere they live, work andserve.”

The Delta HospiceSociety has been fortunateto be the beneficiariesof Telus’s Employee andRetiree Charitable GivingProgram for the past 10years. This program willbenefit the society even fur-ther from 2011-2013 whereTelus has made a commit-ment to double match alldonations made to DeltaHospice through this corpo-rate program.

“We would like to thankall of the current and pastemployees of Telus whohave chosen Delta Hospiceto benefit from their chari-table giving,” said Nancy

Macey, executive director ofthe Delta Hospice Society.“The corporate matchingprogram increases the valueof the individual gifts sig-nificantly.

“If the Telus employeegiving is as generous in thenext two years, the societyhas the potential to receive$170,000 in total. Thisdonation becomes extreme-ly significant in helping usreduce the remaining fundsowning on the constructionof the new facilities.”

The society has justunder $700,000 to raiseto cover the cost of con-struction, equipment andfurnishings of the IreneThomas Hospice and theHarold & Veronica SavageCentre for Supportive Care.Once funded, all futuredonations will go directlytowards patient care.

Delta is planning on buying the KFC site at the corner of LadnerTrunk Road and Arthur Drive. The municipality has plans to demolishthe building to make room for a designated right turn lane on Arthur

Drive and to expand Magee Park. The building is currently home to amortgage broker, while the KFC closed earlier this year.The Optimist asked:

What do you think about buying the KFC site?

John AncrumThat’s good, if it’s goingto improve traffic flow.Also, as long as the tax-payer doesn’t have to paya tremendous amount ofmoney for it.

Last time we asked you:

What do you think of the recent weather?32.35 per cent said I’m not afan. Where’s the sunshine?26.47 per cent said I’m OK withit. I don’t mind the rain.

41.18 per cent said I don’t care.There’s nothing we can do aboutit.

The Ladner Pioneers’ depthwill be tested as they con-tinue their march towards theWest Coast Senior LacrosseAssociation championship.

The Pioneers have likely lostNathan Clare for the balanceof the playoffs after the rookiestandout suffered a shoulder inju-ry in last week’s 9-5 game twosemi-final win over the NanaimoTimbermen. The Ladner native

not only led his team in playoffscoring with 18 points, includ-ing 12 goals in just four games,he was also the Pioneers’ faceoffspecialist.

It didn’t take long forClare’s absence to be felt asthe Timbermen avoided a threegame sweep with a 9-6 win lastWednesday in Tsawwassen. Theseries was slated to resume lastnight in Nanaimo and, if needed,a fifth and deciding game wouldbe played on Thursday in Ladnerat 7 p.m.

Also out of the line-up forgame three was veteran GregRennie who had coaching obli-gations with the RichmondRoadrunners of the B.C.Intermediate “A” LacrosseLeague. The local product, whohas 15 points in just three play-offs games, was expected to beback in the line-up last night.

He suggested it will take acollective effort to overcome theabsence of Clare.

“Nathan really is a big loss,”he said. “We were already short

on lefties and he was one of ourtop scorers, our best face-off guyand is a 21-year-old who brings aton of energy to the floor.”

Rennie remained confident histeam can advance to the finalsand has an excellent chance torepresent B.C. at the President’sCup national senior “B” lacrossechampionships, slated for the endof the month.

“When you look back at thebeginning of the season, notmany people would believe wewould be where we are now,”

he added. “This group can’t becompared to the Pioneer teams(of the past).

“There’s a lot of young playersgoing through this for the firsttime.”

Boxla bits...The Timbermen stayed alive

by outscoring Ladner 4-1 in thirdperiod to break a 5-5 deadlock.Brandon McKinnon had twogoals in a losing causer, withsingles to Scott Boyle, QuinnWaddington, Adam Haydon andTravis St. Germain.

Pioneers looking to advance without standout rookie

Ladner hostingsynchro camp

This summer, let yourkids try something com-pletely different – synchro-nized swimming.

The Vancouver PacificWave Synchronized SwimClub (VPW) is hosting asummer synchro camp atLadner Outdoor Pool. Thecamp runs from August15 – 19, from 9 a.m. tonoon. The cost is $150.

Children will learn andimprove basic aquatic skillsin a creative and imagina-tive environment.

Swimmers are givenopportunities to improvebreath control, floatingskills, body awareness andmethods of propulsion— skills that are used in allwater sports.

The camp can be anintroduction to VPWsrecreational or competi-tive synchronized swim-ming programs that startin September. VPW hasteams that train out ofWinskill (Tsawwassen) andWatermania (Richmond)pools.

Nose clips and bath-ing cap are recommended.Note: Students should beat a Swim Kids 5 level orequivalent and be confident

in deep water.Vancouver Pacific Wave

offers a wide variety of par-ticipation levels to sychroswimmers in Richmond,Delta and Vancouver.

The club prides itself inproviding programs for alllevels of swimmers — fromthose just learning synchro-nized swimming, to thoseinterested in a recreationalprogram, and for thosewho wish to compete at anational level.

Synchronized swimmingis one of the best all-rounddevelopment sport avail-able today for girls andyoung women, combiningathletic prowess in femi-ninely graceful movementstogether with a full rangeof musical appreciation andchoreography. It developsthe flexibility of a gymnast,endurance of a long dis-tance runner, strength of acompetitive swimmer andthe grace of a dancer.

The body movementsof synchronized swim-ming require the training ofnearly every muscle in thebody to a fine edge with-out creating any distort-ing overdevelopment. Theflexibility and extension of

a gymnast is essential fortop performance while theswimming of a routine nor-mally requires the strengthand endurance of a good

middle distance swimmer.A girl’s imagination can

be given free rein in devel-oping impressive combina-tions of movements for her

routine, while her sense ofmusical rhythm and timingis trained sharply to obtainthe desired synchronizationeffects

his parents, Peter and Margarete; his brothers, Peter, John and Hank,and his sisters, Jutta, Margaret, Elizabeth and Kathea.

He was born on January 11, 1938 in Blumengart, Ukraine, theyoungest of nine children. When he was five years old, the familyescaped from Russia with the retreating German army. As the SecondWorld War continued, they fled from one German village to another.At the age of 15, he immigrated to Canada with his family. Bernie livedin Winnipeg and Saskatchewan before moving to Vancouver. He founda job at MacMillan Bloedel where he worked for 28 years. In 1960, hemet Sally Isaaks at a Valentine’s party. She immediately became veryspecial to him, and they were married a year and a half later, in Julyof 1961. They were blessed with two children, Tammy and Randy. InFebruary, 1968, Bernie built a house for the family in Ladner. In 1985,he found work as a custodian with the Delta School District where hewas employed for the next eight years until he suffered a back injury.This resulted in chronic pain that eventually forced his retirement. Inthe following years, Bernie and Sally enjoyed looking after their sevengrandchildren. Every summer, they all stayed with their Grandpa andGrandma for a special week of fun activities. Bernie and Sally lovedtraveling to Hawaii, the prairies, the Oregon Coast, Arizona and toGermany. Three years ago, Bernie suffered a serious stroke, followedby a cardiac arrest. The results of the stroke were life-changing andpresented great challenges, but God gave them strength and grace tocarry on.

Roly passed away peacefully in theearly morning of July 10, 2011,aged 104. In the words of hisfellow ham radio operators, “VE7RTbecame a silent key.” He is survivedby his wife Muriel, his daughterWendy (Phil), grandchildren Jason(Frances), Ryder (Megan), Jordan(Sean), great-granddaughter Ellie,and extended Bryan and Cotterfamily. He was predeceased by his

daughter Janice, his son-in-law Dick, his brothers Owen andGeorge, and their sister Marge.

Roly was born in Dartmouth, England and came to Canadawith his family in 1909 when he was two. They settled inSteveston, before moving to Grandview. Always a keen learner,not necessarily in the formal school system, Roly became aham radio operator and a contributing editor to the VancouverHam Radio community’s newsletter “The Amachewer”, wherehe met Muriel. Roly and Muriel were married in 1941; theycelebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this past June.Roly’s career began with the Department of Transport duringthe 2nd World War, and he moved to United Airlines in 1946.Disinclined to ‘climb the corporate ladder’, Roly did everythingbut fly the planes and retired in Vancouver in 1972. Hevolunteered extensively for the wide world of amateur radio,including teaching morse code for CNIB students aspiring toobtain their ham license. Roly and Muriel spent their retirementyears enjoying sunshine around the world with their family andmany friends - and Roly often traded his considerable repairskills for vacations in warmer climates. They would foregoVancouver’s wet winters for Kauai, Hawaii until 2002, but theyspent the large part of their winters in Palm Springs until 1996.Summers at Boundary Bay since 1940 found Roly tinkeringon his ham set, contacting worldwide friends, or fishing crabsand clams for feasts with friends and wonderful neighbours.But wherever they were in the world, everything stopped at 5o’clock for gin-and-tonic, to which the family attribute Roly’slongevity. When pressed, Roly would say his only regret in lifewas not taking the opportunity to attend university.
