It looks like all the incumbentson Delta council will have theirname on the ballot this November.

Lois Jackson, the mayor since1999, recently said she wouldrun for a fifth term in this fall’smunicipal election.

First-term councillor HeatherKing, a former school trustee whotopped the polls in 2008, has alsodeclared her intention to run for

the mayor’s job and former coun-cillor Krista Engelland will makeit a three-way race.

King’s announcement leavesone council seat vacant, but thatwill likely be the only one, so ifmore than one newcomer is tojoin civic government later thisyear, they’ll have to knock off anincumbent.

The Optimist recently contactedthe other councillors to see if theywill run again and it appears allwill do so.

Bruce McDonald, a six-termcouncillor who has twice vacatedhis seat to run for the mayor’sjob, said he would “definitely”run again for council. He doesn’tintend to join the three-way racefor the mayor’s chair.

“I’m in the game. I’m goingto run as an independent and Ithink I’ll run alone. I enjoy beingan independent and not having tomake a decision other than what Iwant to do,” he said.

McDonald, who ran as an inde-

pendent in 2008 but endorsedJackson’s mayoralty bid, said he’snot backing anyone for the timebeing, but that may change as theelection campaign heats up.

Ian Paton, who won last year’sby-election to fill the seat leftvacant following the sudden deathof George Hawksworth, said he’drun again with Jackson’s slate of“like-minded” independents calledthe Delta Independent Voters

And don’t come back!

A sad story came to ahappy conclusion in Ladnerthis week.

Six-year-old BradenFox had his stolen scooterreturned and mom KarenFox said the family wasinundated with calls andoffers of assistance from thecommunity after the storyran in last Friday’s Optimist.

On July 18, Braden wascollecting empty bottles andcans from the field at PortGuichon Elementary. Heparked his scooter by thefence and went about col-lecting the containers fromthe baseball teams using thefield. When he returned, thescooter was gone.

The youngster has beengoing to the field nightlyfor more than a month col-lecting cans and bottles.He plans to donate halfthe money he collectsto the B.C. ProfessionalFirefighters Burn Fund tohelp send a child to BurnCamp.

Fox said the family gotseveral calls from people inthe community reaching outto help Braden. The fam-

ily received a call from theHospital Auxiliary ThriftStore in Ladner. Someonehad donated a scooter andthe volunteers thought itmight have been the miss-ing one. Another Ladneritecalled and offered to giveBraden her teen’s usedscooter; and another man,who thought it was a motor-ized scooter, called andoffered to give Braden his,valued at $5,000, that hewasn’t using anymore.

Fox also said the peopleusing the field at PortGuichon started savingtheir empty drink contain-ers for Braden. A couple ofplayers delivered some tothe family’s home and onemade a cash donation to theBurn Camp.

In the end, however, thescooter was returned.

“The details of Bradengetting his scooter back arenot important,” Fox said.“Let’s just say... someonedid the right thing.”

A plan to develop a farmproperty at the edge of ruralEast Delta into a housingcomplex for seniors hasmoved a step closer to real-ity.

Delta’s community plan-ning advisory committeeoffered tentative sup-port when it discussed anofficial community planamendment application byEarth King Investmentsto build on two parcels at10555-64th Ave.

The proposal includes45 semi-detached, rancher-style homes, 100 apart-ment units for independentseniors in a five- and asix-storey building, 94 sup-portive living units and 27assisted living units, alsoin a five- and a six-storeybuilding.

Also part of the retire-

ment village concept is atwo-storey long-term carefacility with 165 beds, abuilding that would house ahealth and wellness centreand a drive-through res-taurant that could be a TimHortons.

The proposal includes274 parking spaces, pedes-trian paths and landscaping.

Comprising six hectares(15 acres), the site is zonedagricultural but was pulledout of the Agricultural LandReserve about 20 years ago.It’s surrounded by a golfcourse across the street,farm properties in the ALRas well as Burns Bog.

Although the advisorycommittee expressed someconcerns about publictransit and the seeminglyisolated location, it gener-ally supported the project’slayout. It suggested morecommunity gardens beincorporated as part of the

plan.Saying other civic com-

mittees will need to seedetails before somethingis presented to Delta coun-cil, Coun. Anne Peterson,a member of the advi-sory committee, told theOptimist the proposal has“a ways to go.”

She said that while itwould address a need forseniors housing, and siteslarge enough for such proj-ects are difficult to find,the location is a topic thatrequires further discussion.

Community planningdirector Tom Leathem notedMetro Vancouver approvalwould also be required andthe municipality is stillwaiting for clarification onthe region’s new LivableRegion Strategic Plan,which appears to be gettingclose to final approval.

The proposal, which waspresented at an open house

in North Delta a few weeksago, continues to meet withopposition from the BurnsBog Conservation Societyas well as some residents innearby North Delta.

Commenting on thecommittee’s tentativeendorsement, society presi-dent Eliza Olson said thegroup did not listen to thepeople or find out the bestpractices for a seniors com-munity.

A memo by Leathemsummarizing a councilworkshop on the proposallast summer noted councilmembers had a number ofconcerns, including the sitebeing somewhat isolatedand its proximity to the bog.

In an interview priorto that workshop, BobbyPawar, owner and presidentof Earth King Investments,said the type of seniorshousing is sorely lacking inthe municipality.

Scooter returned, others offered

Association.In the 2008 race, the

newly formed electoralorganization ran a slate thatincluded Jackson and coun-cillors Robert Campbell andScott Hamilton. The threehad split from TriDelta,leaving Engelland as thelone TriDelta member oncouncil.

As for Campbell, afour-term veteran, he saidhe would again run withJackson this fall, whileHamilton, who has spentthree terms on council, saidhe’d “probably” run, butwouldn’t make any deci-sion or announcement untilSeptember.

Anne Peterson, a first-term independent, saidshe would most likely runagain, but noted she’s notgoing to make an announce-ment until likely September.She said she’d have to dis-cuss matters with her familybefore making a decision.

“My family are discuss-ing the pros and cons,reviewing the last two-and-a-half years and seeingwhether I’m at my most

effective behind the table orpossibly doing somethingelse. We’ll weigh it all, butit’s more than likely, and I’drun as an independent,” shesaid.

As far as declared candi-dates on the outside want-ing a council seat, so faronly Tsawwassen residentNeil Corbett has announcedhis intention to run.

No one has announced,thus far, their intention torun for Delta school board.There was no board electionin 2008 as only seven can-didates declared.

The Tsawwassen SunFestival is held annually atWinskill Park.

The grand opening ofthe Rotary WaterWorks atDiefenbaker Park will takeplace on Thursday, Aug. 4at 11 a.m.

This project has been acollaborative partnershipbetween the Corporation ofDelta and the Rotary Clubof Tsawwassen.

Delta staff prepared theconcept for the water play-ground, which draws on thehistory of the site, a formergravel mining operation that

at one time supplied muchof the gravel for the devel-opment of Tsawwassen.

The playground includesa waterspout near the cor-ner of 56th Street and 1stAvenue and a water box atthe splash pad; both fea-tures taking historical refer-ence from the gravel miningindustry.

The splash pad in theflat area of the waterpark isaccessible for children of allabilities.

All water from theamenity drains into a raingarden, which will rechargethe ground water, andeliminates the need forstorm water connections tothe site.

The water play parkincludes interpretive sig-nage stressing the impor-tance of water stewardshipand conservation as wellas the historical referencerelating to DiefenbakerPark.

A Delta man is facingseveral charges after injur-ing two pedestrians in adriving rampage in NorthVancouver earlier this week.

Police were first called tothe area of West Esplanadeand Semisch Avenue ataround 8:30 p.m. Mondayafter a man and womanreported being accostedby a man in a blue FordMustang.

Following a short verbalexchange, the driver of theMustang allegedly droveinto the woman, launchingher over the hood of the carbefore fleeing the scene.

“North Vancouver RCMPofficers began flooding thearea, trying to intercept thedriver before he was able toescape the area,” said Sgt.Peter DeVries.

Within minutes, thedriver approached a groupof four women walking oneblock east.

DeVries said the driverordered the women to getinto his car.

When they refused,police said, the driverallegedly struck one of thewomen with his car, pin-ning her against a pole.

“While officers contin-ued their efforts to locatethe driver, numerous callswere received from mem-bers of the public who hadwitnesses the same vehiclestriking a vehicle in the areaof Keith Road and LonsdaleAvenue,” DeVries said.

The driver of that car fol-lowed the Mustang, whichallegedly stopped andrammed into her car twicemore before fleeing again.

Less than five minuteslater, the driver was seen inthe 1700-block of LonsdaleAvenue where he alleg-edly approached a womanwalking in the alley east ofLonsdale Avenue between17th and 18th streets. Shetold police he ordered herto get into the car. Whenshe refused, he allegedlythreatened to kill her anddrove off.

“By this time, officershad closed the gap on thedriver and located him on

19th Street near LonsdaleAvenue,” DeVries said.

Officers used their vehi-cles to box the Mustang inand the driver was arrestedwithout incident.

The two injured pedestri-ans were taken to hospitalwith non-life threateninginjuries.

Officers have recom-mended a number of charg-es against the 44-year-oldDelta man, including twocounts of dangerous driv-ing causing bodily harm,two counts of impaired(by drug) driving causingbodily harm, impaired (bydrug) driving, dangerousoperation of a motor vehi-cle, three counts of failureto remain at the scene ofan accident, assault with aweapon (vehicle) and utter-ing threats.

“We are deeply relievedthat nobody was more seri-ously hurt,” DeVries said.“Two factors can be cred-ited for the absence of moredire consequences: the swiftand aggressive responseof the RCMP officers andsheer luck.”

This year’s Cops forCancer Tour de Valley rid-ers got an extra dose ofinspiration recently.

Many of the riders madetheir way to Loon Lakein Maple Ridge earlierthis month to visit CampGoodtimes.

Cops for Cancer includesfour separate fundraisingrides — Tour de Valley,Tour de Coast, Tour deRock (Vancouver Island)and Tour de North (northernB.C.). Tour de Valley takesriders over 800 kilometresfrom Tsawwassen to BostonBar and back Sept. 22 to30.

The money raised goesto the Canadian CancerSociety, specifically topediatric cancer researchand programs that supportchildren living with cancerand their families.

One of those programs isCamp Goodtimes.

The camp was estab-lished in 1985 and hasgrown significantly over theyears, thanks, in part, to themoney raised through Copsfor Cancer, camp directorDave Mackenzie told thegroup as it toured the camp.

Founder Lois Youngsonstarted the camp on theSunshine Coast and thatfirst year, 25 childrenattended.

Since then, CampGoodtimes has grown toaccommodate close to 600participants over 12 ses-sions every summer — atno cost to the families.

The main goal of thecamp is to provide a funand safety-minded camp-

ing experience that letskids take a break from thereality of their disease andjust be kids. The programwas developed, and ismaintained, with the helpof the oncology and socialwork departments of B.C.Children’s Hospital. Morethan 300 volunteers helpmake those programs pos-sible every year.

The tour started whereevery kid starts his or hercamp experience — in thearts and crafts tent.

Camp staff is there totake medical and otherpertinent information, andease the campers into theexperience. A structure withonly two walls and a roof,parents are not allowed topass through the building tothe other side.

For many, both parentsand campers, this can be a

scary and daunting experi-ence, Mackenzie said, add-ing many of the kids whoare crying as they arriveat camp are crying differ-ent tears at the end of theprogram because they don’twant to leave.

After the tour it wasobvious Camp Goodtimesincludes a few more ame-nities than most summercamps. Campers stay inheated (when needed)buildings. There is 24-hourmedical care available at the“Med Shed” and speciallytrained staff in place.

After the tour, the riderswere put to work manningmany of the stations atthe weekly “casino” nightwhere campers are givencash (in the form of CampGoodtimes Buckeroos)to take their chances on anumber of games, including

the human slot machine,fishing and ring toss. Thisgave riders a chance tomeet the youngsters whowill directly benefit fromthe money raised by Copsfor Cancer, and the volun-teers and staff who keep thecamp running smoothly.

One young camperin particular stood out.Standing in front of a groupof the riders as the casinowrapped up for the nightand the campers headedoff to bed, the young boylooked up and said: “Keephaving fun. Keep riding forme. Keep riding for every-one.”

Protect Yourself, Not Your Bank

It’s become routine. Secure a mortgage with anylending institution and most likely you’ll be askedto buy a life or critical illness insurance policy, orboth, to protect your mortgage. What the lender isreally asking you to do is protect their company. Thecoverage is designed as creditor protection and thebenefits would be used only to pay off any remainingmortgage balance – no matter what other needs youmay have.

Last month, I wrote about an innovative approachto life, critical illness and disability insuranceprovided by Manulife called Synergy®. This newinsurance program can provide you with a better,value-added mortgage protection solution and let’ssee why.

With most lenders’ mortgage insurance, the lenderis the beneficiary and the benefits go directly to thelender to pay off the mortgage. With Synergy®, youown the policy and you name your beneficiary. Ifyou become disabled before age 65 and can’t work,you get the monthly benefit to replace your income.If you are diagnosed with one of 22 defined coveredconditions before age 65, you receive a lump sumbenefit to use however you wish. In the event ofyour death, the life insurance benefit goes to yourbeneficiary for them to use however they want.

Although the banks will offer life and criticalillness coverage, few lenders offer disabilitycoverage. The amount of insurance they provide isonly equal to the amount of your mortgage so thebenefit decreases as your mortgage decreases andcoverage ends when your mortgage is paid. This justmeans that you pay more for less as you get older.Your coverage also ends if you switch institutions andyou have to reapply again, possibly when your healthis not as good. The lender’s critical illness protectionusually provides basic coverage for cancer, heartattack and stroke.

With Synergy®, you get life, disability and criticalillness insurance all wrapped into one solutionwith one affordable payment. The unique pool ofmoney concept allows you to buy from $100,000 to$500,000 of Synergy® insurance. The amount is nottied to your mortgage and you have the option to buyadditional life insurance with a term rider.

Synergy® also gives you the option to buypermanent life insurance when your Synergy®

solution ends at age 65 – no additional medicalunderwriting is required. However, this option isonly available if you have not received a criticalillness benefit.

The critical illness protection provides coveragefor 22 conditions as well as the Early Interventionand Recovery Benefit and Health Service Navigator,which includes a world class medical second opinionservice.

With the banks, your premiums and benefits arenot guaranteed. The lender can change or cancel thepolicy at any time. The premiums and benefits areguaranteed for the life of your Synergy® solution. Ifyou are looking to protect your mortgage, it pays tocompare. Protect yourself, not your bank.

MLA givensomethingto chew on

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

Kelly Guichon has certainly givenVicki Huntington something to thinkabout.

Guichon, the former Delta schoolboard chair who is well known and wellrespected in the community, announcedlast week she’ll be seeking the Liberalnomination in Delta South in the nextprovincial election.

Huntington bested a formidableLiberal last time in cabinet ministerWally Oppal, so running against some-one of Guichon’s stature wouldn’t beanything new to the history-making inde-pendent, but it does complicate mattersif she had any designs on turning in herindependence for a spot in the Liberalcaucus.

It’s no secret the Liberals courtedHuntington prior to the last election andthen again during last year’s leadershiprace. Premier Christy Clark wasn’t asovert as George Abbott, but it’s obvious,both for the guaranteed seat and the PRpoints, the ruling Liberals would dearlylove to have the member from DeltaSouth in the fold.

Huntington resisted the initial over-tures, but with a change at the helm andanother difficult election ahead, she’sgot to be giving serious consideration towhat I’m sure is a standing offer.

A two-way race between Huntington,as a newly-minted Liberal, and a NewDemocrat candidate would be a slamdunk, allowing the Liberals to reclaimthe seat and provide the incumbent witha second term and, not insignificantly, aprovincial pension.

A three-way tilt where she maintainsher independence to take on Guichon andthe NDP is a far more wide open affairand when you throw in the possibilityof another right-of-centre candidate inthe race from John Cummins’ upstartConservative party, the water gets evenmuddier.

So will Huntington be joining Clarkand Co. anytime soon? I wouldn’t rule itout, but signs don’t point that way: Theycouldn’t convince her the first time, shecontinues to be openly critical of the gov-erning Liberals and, perhaps most impor-tantly, she’s proven she can get electedon her own, the first MLA to accomplishthat feat in this province in more thanhalf a century.

What’s more, I’m sure Guichon didn’tget a master’s degree in leadership fromRoyal Roads to simply step aside becausesomeone else has similar aspirations.

However, for someone who enduredan agonizing recount two years ago, thelure of a much easier electoral road hasto be appealing, at least on some level.If nothing else, it’s definitely given hersomething to think about.

This column will be a bit dif-ferent from my usual rants. Assummer may have finally arrived,I want to share some things thatwork for me around the home.Maybe they might be useful foryou.

First is my little notebook— hard cover — to record the mil-lions of things you need to remem-ber about house repairs and facts.Say goodbye to those loose scrapsof papers on which you have beenscribbling down information.

The book I use has pages halfthe normal size. I number eachpage. The first several pages are atable of contents — three per page— for the various rooms/areas inour home.

In the rest of the book I make

notes of what happens as time goeson — the specs of the paint I usedfor the trim around the kitchendoor two years ago, when we lastpainted the north side of our house,with what paint and from whichstore.

I jot down what was done whenthe electrician was called in to fixa circuit that wasn’t working, how Igot rid of the squirrels in our attic,when the furnace was last servicedand what was done, etc.

In the front of the book underthe appropriate heading I place asingle line title and the page num-ber on which the note is recorded.A few years later, it becomes avaluable tool to help me rememberhow old the hot water tanks is, whodid the gutter repairs and so forth.

Another notebook I use is forrecording the myriad of issueswith my computers. I seem to haveproblems that no one else has andso I am on the phone/email forhelp from time to time, especiallywhen upgrading software.

Who can remember the toll-freenumber to get help? Sometimes Iam told to do “thus and so.” Canyou remember that three weeks

later? I can’t, so I copy down theinstructions, read it back and thenI can refer to them weeks andmonths later.

If I get a 25-digit code, it’srecorded in that book for futurereference.

I cut our lawn with an electriclawn mower and trim bushes withan electric hedge trimmer. Thatmeans 150 feet of extension cords.Rather than a gaggle of wires, Iuse an old hose caddy on which towind up the cords. My hose caddycomes with wheels so I can pull thecords to wherever I’m working.

This spring I had to again cleanthe outside decks. I don’t use ahigh-pressure hose as that destroyswood and brick by making thesurfaces quite rough and porous.Instead, I use environmentallyfriendly detergent, a scrub brush ona long handle and a secret weapon.

The weapon is as an old floorpolisher — the kind your grandmaused way back. They can be foundat thrift shops for next to nothing.They dramatically reduce the handscrubbing needed.

I hope one of these ideas willwork for you.

COMMENT


Letters to the Editor

Editor:We read with great

interest an article in theVancouver Sun regardingthe city of Port Moodyunder the leadership ofMayor Joe Trasolini. Thearticle states that duringthe past 12 years the city’spopulation has grown by40 per cent but its focus onmulti-family developmenthas limited urban sprawland earned the city thereputation as a leader in

sustainable practices.Just think what

Tsawwassen could haveif Century Group is giventhe OK to develop its latestproposal. What a proud leg-acy for the people of SouthDelta with so much of itfarmland, forest, a farmmarket square and threenew parks with a diversityof housing units.

Of course the alternative,if development is denied,is to turn it into farmland.

One only has to read therecent front page articleof the Optimist where itwas stated the spreading ofchicken manure is consid-ered “normal farm practice”and “is exempt from localnuisance bylaws under theProvincial Farm PracticesProtection Act.”

Let’s hope the commu-nity, as well as the mayorand council, will be behindCentury’s proposal.

critical mass, CommunityComment, July 22

I’m in total agreementwith Mark Sakai’s com-ments.

I do my best to shop

locally whenever possible.It baffles me, though, thatI still find a need to takevisitors to White Rock orSteveston for an outingwhen there’s the potentialfor “charm and ambiance”by the water, right here in

Ladner and Tsawwassen.You can’t even go for a

coffee at the terminal unlessyou’re boarding a ferry.

Hopefully I’ll see this“unpolished gem” sparklein my lifetime.

Where is your Faith?

ADVERTORIAL

www.pneumachurch.com604-940-6700

Many people today findit very difficult to operate infaith because of two reasons.They either don’t have the realknowledge of God’s Word inthem, or they have a twistedreligious picture of God. Theyhave been taught that their ownworks earns them their righ-teousness. Many have allowedthe Word to slip or be chokedby the knowledge and fears ofthe world.2 Peter 1:2-3 says, “Grace

and peace be multiplied untoyou through the knowledge ofGod, and of Jesus our Lord.His divine power hath givenunto us all things that pertainunto life and godliness,through the knowledge ofHim that hath called us to gloryand virtue.” The bible says thatall things that pertain unto lifeand godliness are given unto usthrough the knowledge of God.We know that without faith itis impossible to please God.So, this means that Faith mustbe one of those things given.(Heb. 11:6). Romans 10:17says, “Faith comes by hearingthe Word of God”. Faith mustcome through the knowledgeof God.Therefore, the amount of

faith that you operate in isdirectly proportional to therevelation knowledge thatyou have of God, through HisWord.In the same way as carnal

knowledge produces fear, godlyknowledge produces faith.Most Christians today are fullof the knowledge about howto operate in Satan’s system.They know how to function outof fear and many are very defi-cient in the knowledge of whatit takes to live an abundant,kingdom-filled life in God’ssystem.

So, it is not really a faithproblem that exists, rather it isa “Word” problem.Galatians 5:22 states that

faith is a part of the fruit ofthe Spirit. Let me explain it toyou this way. It is natural for afruit tree to produce fruit andyou will not find the fruit treemoaning and groaning as itis bearing fruit. If the tree isprotected, cared for and givenproper nourishment, it willautomatically produce fruit,unless it’s starved or attackedby some outside force. This ishow it is supposed to be withus also. Faith will automaticallybe the product of our abidingin the Word. (John 1:1, 15:1-7)Jesus is what we are supposedto feed on in our spirituallives. This will produce faithfruit.So, why are we faithless?

What is the problem?The problem is that the

knowledge of God’s Word hasnot been abiding in us and formany, we have been givenhalf truths about our HeavenlyFather. So, the product that isbeing produced by these halftruths or even twisted truth isno fruit and confusion.Many of us were raised in

a religion that is based on ourown achievements and goodworks. Raised in a religionthat blames God for everythingthat we cannot explain orunderstand. Raised in churcheswhere we are told that Godcaused the sickness or diseasein our loved ones to teach ussomething. The truth is this:The gospel is not just aboutbeing saved and redeemedfrom our sins, and salvationis not limited to the initial“born again” experience.Salvation is everything Jesuspurchased for us through the

atonement. Sozo, the Greekword from which “salvation”was translated, means morethan forgiveness of sins. Italso means healing, deliver-ance and prosperity. Salva-tion is a word that summarizeseverything that Jesus providedfor us through His death, burialand resurrection. James 5:14-15vividly illustrates how salva-tion includes both healing andforgiveness of sins.The other problem is that

the carnal knowledge of theworld has choked the Word ofGod that was there.Matthew 6:24 says, “You

cannot serve two masters”. “Adouble-minded man is unstablein all his ways. He cannot re-ceive anything from the Lord”,says James 1:7-8.Yet, so many churches seem

to be double- minded aboutwho God is. Matthew 6:22gives us the promise that if theeye is single, we will be fullof light. This means that if allyour attention is focused onGod, through His Word, thenthe only thing that you will befull of is God and what HisWord produces. This is a Biblelaw that is repeated in Romans8:6, which says, “For to becarnally minded is death; but tobe spiritually minded is life andpeace.” If we are experiencinganything but life and peace,it is because we are carnallyminded. You cannot have lifeand peace without the knowl-edge of God. Make sure thatthe word you are receiving isfocused on who Jesus is in youand what He has done for you.Your faith and relationship withHim will grow beyond whatyou ever expected. Be blessed!www.pneumachurch.com

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Guichon seeking

Liberal nod, July 22I note with interest the

recent announcement fromKelly Guichon, who statedher intention of running forthe Liberal party in the nextprovincial election.

In particular, I noteher comment: “We needa strong voice, that being

part of a bigger team wouldbenefit the community.”That all sounds nice, butone has to only look back tothe power lines scandal andfind that it was the (Liberal)MLA who was giving astrong voice to Victoriawhen that all happened.

It was also under thatstrong leadership the gov-ernment decided not to

use our locally producedplan for the South FraserPerimeter Road, but one ofits own. As a result, manymore acres of productivefarmland are gone forever.

And finally, it was thesame government that cutservices at our local prideand joy, Delta Hospital.

Yes, Delta does need astrong voice in Victoria,

but, being part of eitherparty doesn’t necessar-ily work. Too often, it’sVictoria using its strongvoice to tell Delta what’sgood for it.

Our current situation isshowing that a strong voicecan be made in Victoria,without the hindrance ofcurrent two-party system.

Editor:Re: SkyTrain works, but

only in areas with enoughpeople, letter to the editor,

July 20To evaluate SkyTrain

properly it must pass com-parison tests. Montreal hadits subway running on quietrubber tires for Expo 67.In comparison, the Canada

Line from Richmondscreeches its steel wheelson steel track, deafeningriders on the curves.

Circa 1965, New YorkTransit learned that itselevated subway didn’tscreech on curves on rainydays. From that observationit was found that a simplegarden hose sprayer elimi-

nated the annoying soundcompletely. Are you listen-ing SkyTrain brass, or isthere ringing in your ears?

The system that mostclosely parallels SkyTrainis Washington DC’s Metrosystem. It, too, is an auto-mated system but there thesimilarities end.

The large number of

undesirables found in DCis kept at bay with superbfencing, gates and turn-stiles, and visible police.

My work used to takeme to DC some six timesa year but I never had anyqualms about travelling onthe Metro. I wish I couldsay that about SkyTrain.

When Marcie Weinstein-Smith took a market surveyasking moms what frustrat-ed them most about naturalbaby products, the prevail-ing answer was: “They alllie.”

Moms all seemed toagree many products saythe word “natural” on theirlabels, but in fact are not.However, most moms don’tunderstand ingredientsand don’t have the time toresearch them either.

So the Tsawwassen momtook a stand against green-washing, which was affect-ing her own infant son, bycreating her own naturalbaby line, products that aretruly free of chemicals andstill work great.

“We don’t claim tobe natural and thensneak in Phenoxyethanolor IodopropynylButylcarbamate,” saysWeinstein-Smith, wholaunched Lovey’s BodyProducts Inc.

After experimentingwith different formulas,she came up with what isnow Lovey’s Tushi Wash.Weinstein-Smith thenworked with a chemist toproduce Canada’s first trulynatural diaper ointment in aroll-up stick format, calledLovey’s Tushi Stick.

She says going greendoesn’t have to mean incon-venience or lack of effec-tiveness.

Designed to avoid thespread of germs, lab testsshowed the Tushi Stickcame out clean even afterbeing infected with fivestrains of bacteria. In short,it naturally soothes diaperrash while keeping bother-some germs away.

“The best part aboutit is that it works,” says

Weinstein-Smith.“I got tired of all the

products that claimed to benatural but in the end werejust green-washing. I wasdetermined to make cleanproducts that contained nopetroleum, no sulfates orparabens.”

Other moms love it too.Lovey’s already has 552Facebook fans and, on theLovey’s website, EmmaLee, editor of urbanbaby &toddler magazine, is quotedas saying, “This is oneproduct that not only makesparents’ lives easier, it alsogives them the reassurancethat they’re not inadvertent-ly exposing their baby tounnecessary chemicals.”

Weinstein-Smith saysmoms are slowly catchingon to dangers of chemicalsin baby products.

The new Lovey’s TushiStick, along with the origi-nal Lovey’s Tushi Wash,are available online atwww.loveys.ca or in storesthroughout the LowerMainland.

EVENINGSSTART AT6:00 PM

MI have recently become aware of

the case of Casey Anthony, accusedof killing her two-year-old daughter.

I understand that:• Entertainment and tabloid TV

programs have dissected the “evi-dence” for several months, determin-ing that Anthony was guilty;

• A jury determined that she wasnot guilty, except for four minorcharges that she had lied to thepolice;

• Those in the media continue toaggravate with respect to the decisionof the jury;

• Several protests have beenmounted against the decision of thejury;

• Several threats against Anthony’slife have been made.

This frightens me. It seems to methere is a new standard in place thatis grounded on the premise that ifthe commercial media and the socialmedia determine that certain accusedpersons are guilty until proven inno-cent, they should be subject to pun-ishment as determined by the mob. Ifwe are not happy with the outcomeof events, it is OK to take vigilanteaction; it is OK for the mob to rule.

In the Gospel of John, we hearabout a woman caught in adulteryand learn that the crowd wantedto stone her to death. We also hearJesus’ response: “Let anyone amongyou who is without sin be the firstto throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7).May we keep Jesus’ words in ourhearts in these days of retribution.

South Delta Sun Devils’ Emma Mackie and Delta Pacers’ Emily Grant battled for position for the incoming ball during

Monday’s senior girls high school soccer game at Holly Park in Ladner. The Sun Devils edged their cross-town rivals

1-0 to improve to 4-1 on the season.

Academy not

elementary

A rumour that a hockey acad-

emy at English Bluff Elementary

is a done deal is false, says Delta

school board chair Dale Saip.

Making the rounds the last

few days is word that a hockey

academy will start this fall at the

Tsawwassen elementary school.

Delta has several fee-paying acad-

emies at the high school level and

more coming this fall, but so far

none for the younger grades.

Saying he’s disappointed some-

one has been spreading a story the

board has already made a deci-

sion to start a fee-paying sports

academy at the elementary school,

Saip told the Optimist the board,

in fact, doesn’t have any plans to

start an academy, nor has any pro-

posal been presented to trustees.

“I’m getting calls from the

media asking about this but

there’s no proposal, nothing. We

haven’t seen anything and there’s

nothing for us to discuss,” said

Saip.The board chair said the idea

has been floated but not by him or

district staff. The next step was to

begin talking to parents about the

idea, which is now taking place.

A meeting was held with the

school’s parent advisory commit-

tee last week and another is to be

Hockey program for English Bluff is being

discussed, but far from a done deal: Saip

It appears Delta council might

not even consider the future of the

Southlands when the Tsawwassen

Area Plan Committee presents its

final report.

Last

week coun-

cil agreed

with a recommendation by CAO

George Harvie to toss the Official

Community Plan amendment

application, submitted by the

Century Group last year, back to

the applicant.

The reason behind the move is

the 538-acre Tsawwassen prop-

erty is currently within Metro

Vancouver’s Green Zone and

the regional district is still in the

process of updating its Livable

Region Plan. Harvie said a new

regional plan likely wouldn’t be

ready until 2011.

Where that leaves the new

Tsawwassen Area Plan was

unclear as the civic advisory

committee, tasked with coming

up with

a revised

document,

must still

submit recommendations to coun-

cil.Harvie told the Optimist last

week his recommendation will be

for council to focus on areas Delta

can control.

“My recommendation as chief

administrative officer is that coun-

cil only look at bylaw changes

they have regulator authority over,

Sun Devils seeking another

trip to provincial tourney 33

A 67-year-old Tsawwassen

man, who has worked in the B.C.

gaming industry more than 20

years, never expected to hit the

jackpot himself.

Naturally, Brian Egli couldn’t

believe his own luck when a Lotto

6/49 ticket he purchased at the

Tsawwassen Lottery Centre on

56th Street matched all six win-

ning numbers to earn $4.3 mil-

lion.He received his cheque

last Friday at B.C. Lottery

Corporation offices in Richmond.

“After checking my numbers

I told my wife, Bea, that we

had won the big one,” said Egli.

“Her response was, ‘Sure we did

Brian.’”It may have taken a minute to

sink in, but the Eglis are already

making plans for the future.

“I think it may be time to

retire,” said Brian, who after a

24-year career with the RCMP

has worked 20 years in the gam-

ing industry, including 13 years

as an executive vice-president

with Great Canadian Gaming

Corporation.

“I’ll be meeting with my execu-

tive very soon to discuss options,”

he said.Egli’s position in the B.C.

gaming industry meant he had

to wait a few extra days for his

prize claim to be approved as B.C.

Lottery Corporation investigators

add an additional layer of scrutiny

in the prize claim process in such

instances.

With the win finally approved,

the elated couple can now proceed

with plans to share their winnings

with family, buy a new car and

take a trip to Las Vegas.

Egli’s win is the first major

B.C. jackpot this month. It fol-

lows a record setting month for

the lottery corporation in March

in which 4,100 prize winners took

home a record total of nearly $53

million.

Time-out called on Southlands

Delta sends controversial proposal back to Century Group while it waits for regional plan to be completed

The development proposal for

the Southlands has been tossed

back to the Century Group and

won’t be considered by Delta for

the time being.

That was the decision made by

Delta council Monday after civic

politicians agreed with a staff rec-

ommendation to send the proposal

back and refund any application

fees.The reason behind the move is

the 538-acre Tsawwassen prop-

erty is currently within Metro

Vancouver’s Green Zone and

the regional district is still in the

process of updating its Livable

Region Plan.

CAO George Harvie said it

appears a new regional plan likely

wouldn’t come into effect until

2011.“Things can change what Metro

Vancouver finally and ultimately

decides, but having these applica-

tions sitting there builds up expec-

tations from the community that

we are actually working on these

and this is something we can’t do.

We can’t do anything until Metro

Vancouver is finished the job,”

Harvie told council

Mayor Lois Jackson, who

chairs Metro’s board of directors,

agreed, saying municipalities have

to abide by the regional growth

strategy and it’s not clear what the

new criteria will be for the district

to consider amendments to the

new plan.

A staff report notes there is a

proposal in the new growth strat-

egy to allow municipalities to

forward applications to the Metro

board at any stage of their plan-

ning process, provided sufficient

information is available for the

board to make a decision.

The Century Group hopes to

build 1,900 high density hous-

ing units on one-third of the

Southlands using the concepts of

new urbanism, while dedicating

42 per cent to urban agriculture.

The agricultural land would be

given to the municipality.

Century president Sean

Hodgins submitted an Official

Community Plan amendment

application last year but that was

put on hold by Delta until the

Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee

completed its review.

Hodgins told the Optimist

he’s disappointed the application

has been sent back, but it’s not a

major setback because the munici-

pality hasn’t been dealing with it

anyway.“I think part of it is that they’re

Tsawwassen’s major intersec-tions are still seeing traffic vol-umes well under capacity duringpeak hours, but that doesn’t auto-matically mean more residentscan be added.

That was the message for theTsawwassen Area Plan Committeefrom a consultant hired by Deltato conduct a transportation study.

At the committee’s meetinglast week at municipal hall, DaveTurner of Halcrow Engineeringprovided an update on the studythat will be completed by the endof next month.

Noting it will examine impacts

of potential development sce-narios, including the TsawwassenFirst Nation and Southlands, aswell as traffic pattern changes thatwill result from the South FraserPerimeter Road, Turner said theobjective is to better understandcurrent and future problems andto have recommendations on howto deal with them.

Looking at current and pro-jected travel movements in andout of Tsawwassen, the studyfound there’s a significant imbal-ance in that a large percentage ofresidents are employed outside thecommunity. The population is alsoaging and many of those motoristswill be retired, Turner said, noting40 per cent of the population will

be over 65 by 2031.As far as the current traffic pat-

terns at the major junctions, mostare under capacity by 20 to 30 percent during the peak morning andafternoon rush hours.

“The junctions are operatingproperly at the moment and aswe follow through on the studywe’ll come to the conclusionswhat level of development can beaccepted,” he told the Optimistfollowing the meeting.

The busiest junction, accordingto the findings, is the intersectionof Highway 17 and 56th Streetat 72 per cent capacity. Amongthe other busier junctions are56th Street at 16th Avenue (69per cent) and 56th Street at 12th

Avenue (59 per cent).Turner said it’s not recommend-

ed to allow intersections to reach90 per cent capacity or higher.

He said only seven per cent of

Tsawwassen residents use transitwhile 93 per cent use their carsduring peak periods.

Traffic volumes well under limitEarly results of civic-funded transportation study find Tsawwassen intersections could handle more vehicles

In just a few seconds, GeorgeMcKay can tell if a truck hasbrake problems, under inflatedtires or if a ball bearing is loose.

It’s day two of the Delta policedepartment’s annual commercialvehicle inspection blitz, a three-day event that aims to inspectas many commercial vehicles aspossible.

McKay is the first line ofdefence in helping identify trucksthat might not be roadworthy.

As he sits in a white van, heuses a thermal imaging camerathat is able to quickly scan eachtruck as it pulls off Highway 91,just north of Highway 10, and intothe pull out. Every commercialvehicle is required to stop, driv-ing past McKay and then waitinginspectors, who are keeping aneye out for trucks that might needa closer look.

As a truck drives slowly by,McKay, a former truck driver andpilot, points out that each wheel isglowing white. That truck’s brakesare in good working order, hesaid, because the brakes are pro-ducing heat.

A few minutes later, a truckcatches McKay’s attention whenone of the wheels shows black onhis screen. He radios ahead to one

of the inspectors to make sure itgets pulled over.

“It’s a very simple way to scanbig volume without much effort,”McKay said.

For the annual three-day blitz,which established inspection

points at various locations aroundthe community this week, Deltabrings together several partners tohelp out, including the Vancouverand New Westminster policedepartments, RCMP, the Ministryof Transportation, the Integrated

Road Safety Unit and Surreybylaw officers. In all, the teamwas made up of 105 inspectors.

“Our focus is primarily ondump and container trucks andtrades vehicles,” said A/Sgt. KevinJones.

The inspectors look at a num-ber of different aspects of thetruck, from mechanical defects tomaking sure the load is within theweight restrictions and the driver’s

It took longer than anticipatedbut the Delta police departmentfinally has an emergency com-mand vehicle in its fleet.Mayor Lois Jackson was atpolice headquarters in LadnerWednesday with members of thedepartment, the police board andDelta Police Foundation to unveilthe 32-foot, multi-use mobileemergency centre.Equipped with a plethora offeatures, including 16 worksta-tions, each wired for data andvoice, the trailer pulled by a FordF650 truck cost over $400,000,with roughly 70 per cent paid bythe municipality.“This command unit has beenlooked to as a partial solution forthe Delta police for quite a num-ber of years, but as you can appre-ciate, the cost involved is quitea hefty cost,” said Jackson, whochairs the police board.Jackson noted the unit will beinvaluable for police when hav-ing to respond to emergencies orinvestigations that may requireofficers to be housed at one loca-tion for an extended period.Police chief Jim Cessford saidthe unit could be thought of as amobile police station.

“We police an area of 360-square kilometres here in Delta,which is a huge geographic area.We have large farm area, we havea port, airport, and it’s reallyimportant for us to have a mobilepolice station that we can put inplace if we’re doing an investiga-

tion,” he said.Cessford said the commandvehicle could be used for otherfunctions, including communityevents.

Cessford said the unit is a greatexample of his department and thecommunity working together.

Const. Sharlene Brooks saidthe command vehicle wouldn’t bea reality if it wasn’t for the hardwork and dedication of many,including several big financialdonors.Saying it took a decade for thegoal of having a command unit

to become a reality, Delta PoliceFoundation spokesman Ray Carterquipped that some things areworth waiting for.“We’ve waited a long time buthere it is. Ten years later, it started

“These are not decisions we

It’s that time of year again.

In a sure sign that spring has

sprung, the Corporation of Delta

will be waiving the usual two-can

limit next week for the annual

Spring Clean Up.Every spring, Delta offers resi-

dents the opportunity to clean out

sheds and garages and drag those

unwanted items to the curb. Extra

garbage stickers are not required.

Spring Clean Up collection will

take place on Monday, April 12

in Tsawwassen and on Tuesday,

April 13 in Ladner.Acceptable items include fur-

niture, miscellaneous household

goods that can be bagged or

bundled and scrap metal for recy-

cling.The list of items that are not

accepted includes yard trimmings;

liquids of any type; auto parts,

tires or batteries; electronics and

regular recyclable materials.

Tsawwassen’s population is going

to be upset whatever the area

plan committee decides about the

future of the Southlands.That was made loud and clear

at a public forum Thursday at the

South Delta Recreation Centre,

where a crowd of roughly 300

showed up for the second open

mic session this week on the

Southlands.The first open mic forum at

South Delta Secondary Tuesday

drew about the same number of

people with opponents to the

on the speakers, by a roughly

three-to-one margin.Thursday’s forum, though, had

naysayers only slightly outnum-

bering supporters at the micro-

Committee won’t be making any

recommendations on changing

the current designation of the

Southlands, but instead would rec-

ommend policies that would help

guide Delta council if it considers

an application.One of the alternatives being

considered, said Leathem, is for

the committee to not comment on

the Southlands and have the issue

dealt with separately from the

area plan.Answering questions raised by

several residents at the first open

mic meeting this week about the

status of a transportation study,

and whether it will be completed

in time for the committee’s con-

sideration, Leathem said the

study, which will examine the

potential impacts of a Southlands

development, is behind schedule

but is expected to be completed

in June.A few opponents Thursday

admitted they wanted to keep

their tranquil setting and lifestyle,

The best of the best in Paris

The line stretches well over50 metres — half a blockby Montreal measure.Parisians, not always the

most patient, wait for up to 30 min-utes for what some consider to bethe finest croissants in the city.

That is the sort of declara-tion that could lead to a duel— baguettes from five paces. Still,the smell of those freshly bakedcroissants, not to mention the painsau chocolat and ficelles, is waftingthrough the air, and it is, frankly, asintoxicating as the nose of a vintage1959 Cheval Blanc.

It is worth the wait. The crois-sants don’t make it more than 50metres from the boulangerie. Meltin your mouth — sweet butter willdo that — and soft and flaky, thecroissants never had a chance. Theyare devoured within seconds.

It’s Sunday’s weekly open marketon the fabled Rue Mouffetard, thecobblestoned, quaint (not some res-urrected urban kitsch) passagewaywhere Julia Child found all imag-inable ingredients for her feasts.Where, in fact, the film Julie andJulia, re-enacting Child’s gourmetdays in Paris, was partially shot afew years ago.

And while we’re name-drop-ping, where James Joyce finishedwriting his Ulysses tome, whereErnest Hemingway spent four rau-cous years during the Roaring ‘20s,where the legendary French poet

Paul Verlaine took his last breath— and what a rich one it must havebeen.

It’s not hard to fathom whythe aforementioned settled here.Sustenance and inspiration galoreare provided on Rue Mouffetard,nestled in the Latin Quarter, or,more specifically, in the Gobelins,a five-minute jaunt from theSorbonne and Pantheon.

The location of one of Paris’sgrandest and oldest markets (itsroots go back to 1200), the streetnot only boasts the best croissantI ever inhaled at Mme. Morange’s

Le Fournil de Mouffetard, but alsothe best of pretty much every otherfood and liquid I have ever digestedor quaffed.

And it’s not just French delica-cies. The street offers a rich sam-pling of Greek, Lebanese, Japanese,Chinese and Portuguese delights aswell.

I could go on about the best pearI ever munched at the market, orthe grapes and tomatoes there. Butit would be so wrong to tantalizeyou further.

True, Paris is the City of No BadFood, but the ante is upped consid-

erably here. The street is thick withinviting bistros, but several restoshave to rate as world-class and yetare moderately priced: the mag-nificent molecular cuisine at ChezLena & Mimile and the traditionalbut inspiring Le Refuge du Passe,with its tasteful homage to Frenchfilm classics serving as decor, aremusts.

And for all you party people, thestreet is filled with tiny bars (andcheerfully boisterous patrons) thatstay open until the first croissantsare baked the following morning.Heck, there is even a retro bowlingalley for your late-night thrills.

Apparently, Rue Mouffetard’sbeginnings can be traced to anancient Roman theatre on the Placede la Contrescarpe at the foot ofthe street (where free massages areoffered on weekends), but its char-acter is decidedly more Gallic.

According to the lore, the soulof the street was retained by cityfathers who managed to resistBaron Haussmann’s dream to cre-ate boulevards during the reign ofNapoleon III.

Most of the buildings on thestreet date from the 17th century.The building that held the apart-ment we rented was built in 1650,but, mercifully, the plumbing was21st-century.

Yes, there are hotels in the area,but, frankly, if you’re going toimmerse yourself in a marketplace,you want a kitchen to prepare yourfeasts, a terrace to partake of themand a bedroom to sleep them off.

The street market on Rue Mouffetard, which dates back to1200, is a cornucopia of delights.

The art of self-massage

The benefits of massageare plentiful. Massage helpsreduce muscle tension andstiffness, it can increaseyour strength in the gymby 13 per cent, it providesrelief from pain and physi-cal stress, and it loosensthe muscles and connectivetissue allowing the body tomove more fluidly.

While not all of us canafford a massage therapist,we can afford a tennis ball.A tennis ball is the perfectself-massage tool. It isportable, lightweight, it pro-vides instant feedback andit’s easy on the pocketbook.

Try the following self-massage techniques, eitherin the evenings to workthe kinks of the day out,or after a workout to helpencourage waste removaland speed muscle recovery.

Glutes• Seated on the floor,

cross one foot over the kneeof the other leg. Place a ten-

nis ball alongside the gluteof your bent knee (the otherleg is straight).

• Supporting your weightwith your arms, roll ontothe ball using your armsto move your body weightover the ball.

• If you hit a particularlytight muscle (you will knowwhen you do!), allow theball to settle into that area,slowly releasing the muscletightness.

Shoulders• Standing with your

back against a wall, posi-tion the tennis ball to oneside of your spine.

• Bend and straightenyour knees, pressing intothe ball and massagingsmall sections of the upperback, one section at a time.Start with your mid-backand work your way up toyour neck.

Hamstrings• Sit on the floor and

extend the right leg straightout in front of you, handsbehind you. Your left legshould be bent with the footfirmly planted on the floor.

• Position the tennis ballunder the right thigh andslowly roll the ball up anddown the thigh, using the

arms and left leg to sup-port and move your bodyweight.

Calf• Kneel on the floor with

your feet tucked under youand your bum on top of thefeet.

• Lift up the bum andplace a ball along the top ofcalf, just below the back ofthe knee, and then slowlysit back on your heelsagain. The force of yourbody weight will give youa great pressure-point mas-sage for the calf muscle.

• Keep doing that alongthe calf until you reach yourankle.

Feet• Stand in bare feet with

the ball under one foot.• Roll it in all directions,

holding onto a wall or chairfor support. If a tennis ballis not enough pressure, orseems too large, try a golfball.

Keep slugsunder control

Years ago I learned thattrying to eradicate trouble-some wild things in agarden is seldom possiblein the long term — andsometimes not even wise.For instance, yellow-jacketwasps disrupt outdoormeals but also feed on cat-erpillars and insects.

Slugs have the same dualcharacter. They arouse ourhatred when they eat pre-cious seedlings, but alsorecycle dead plant materialsand become food them-selves for garter snakes,frogs, toads and some birds,including starlings andcrows. Since they’re prolificbreeders, controlling theirdamage is the most reason-able goal.

Most at risk are tinyseedlings during their firstfew weeks. This is whenone or two hungry slugscan destroy a whole crop inone night, especially if it’sbeen planted in a straightline. That’s why organicgardeners sometimes dotsusceptible crops in groupsover several different gar-den beds.

One of my favouriteprotections is sticky cop-per tape. Circling a bandaround a container of seed-lings is effective protection,while for garden seedlingsbottomless plastic contain-ers banded around withcopper tape can be poppedover susceptible plants.

But I have found cop-per barriers most effectivewhen new and shiny. It’sbest taken out of the gardenwhen un-needed and storedin a dry place to use for thenext batch of seedlings.

Fence type copper bar-riers need frequent check-ing. Rain can open tunnelsunderneath while leavesof taller plants may formbridges over the top. Also,

some slugs may be hidingin the soil when you installyour copper fence.

Polycarbonate juice con-tainers, bottomless, with thetops removed and plasticmesh covering the openingmake great slug protectionwhen they’re pushed intothe earth and are a mini-greenhouse at the sametime.

Plastic soft drink bottlesalso work, but are lighter,smaller and more suscep-tible to wind.

Substances intended todeter slugs include crushedeggshells, coffee grounds,grit, garlic and perlite (noneof which worked for me).Diatomaceous earth seemedto do better, but needs careto avoid inhaling it. Lime isreputed to work but must beredone if it rains.

The top slug predatorsare definitely ducks, espe-cially the dry land ducksnamed Indian Runners. Butdesperate gardeners who’velost precious plants to slugsare likely second on thepredator list. Their weaponsmay include non-toxic fer-rous iron slug bait, saltingor ammonia spray.

But learning slug habitsencourages gentler meth-ods. Watering at night islike a party invitation to aslug. They tend to be ter-ritorial, going back to thesame feeding zone everynight. But they don’t usu-ally travel more than 100feet for a meal (which givesgardeners an idea how farto trap-and-release them).

Slugs are hermaphroditeswho mate, but can also beself-fertile. The result canbe 300 eggs a year, usuallylaid in groups of 10 to 20.Chickens enjoy eating slugeggs.

Just one slug is worthwelcoming into your gar-den: that’s the native black-and-yellow banana slug, astrikingly beautiful forestdweller whose main foodinterest is mushrooms.

Delta SportsAn unlikely story unfold-

ed in Nanaimo last weekendwhen the 1994 South DeltaInvaders girls fastpitch teambecame provincial champi-ons at the Midget B level.

It was no easy feat fora group of Grade 11 girlsthat was the youngest teamat the provincial champion-ships.

The story actually startedlast month when the teambattled hard to earn a berthto the playdowns after los-ing its first game in a dou-ble knockout tournament.Three straight wins allowedthe Invaders to claim thesecond provincial berth.

The provincial champi-onships started much thesame way when they fell6-1 to the Port CoquitlamRavens in the first game,but came back to beat thehost Nanaimo Diamonds93 12-6 thanks, in part, to aDelanie Chang home run.

A five-run outburst inthe top of the seventh gavethe Invaders a win over theSouth Delta Invaders 93 inthe third game before theydropped a close one to theNanaimo Diamonds 92 toclose out the round robinportion.

Their 2-2 record gotthem the eighth and finalspot in the double knockout

playoff bracket and a datewith the top seed RichmondIslanders 92.

A five-hit, two-outrally in the seventh inningsparked by Lauren Waltonscored three to tie thegame 7-7, setting the stagefor eighth inning heroicsby Alysia McFarland andJessie Priestlay to securethe victory.

The win set up a rematchwith the 1993 Invaders, butthis one didn’t go as well asthe first as the younger sidewas on the wrong end ofa 12-7 score, falling to the“B” bracket of the tourna-ment where one loss willsend you home.

They avoided elimina-tion with a convincing 11-4win over the extremelytough Langley Xtremethanks to the strong pitch-ing of Jodie Westerhof anda 5-for-5 performance byChang, then followed thatup by besting the third-yearNanaimo Diamonds in arematch of their final roundrobin game.

With the 1993 SouthDelta Invaders waiting inthe wings to see who pre-vailed in the game betweenthe 1993 White RockThunder and the youngerInvaders team, tensionswere high. After giving up

four runs in the first inning,the Invaders punched theirticket to the final with a 7-6win.

The final game was one

for the record books withtwo teams from the sameassociation facing eachother for gold. The youngerteam fell behind early, but

a four-run second inningpropelled it to a 6-2 victoryand a provincial champion-ship.

Coaches Terry Westerhof

and Wayne Ellis are cred-ited with keeping the teamtogether for seven years andteaching them how to pulltogether as a team.

The Delta Islanders sawtheir postseason run cometo an end after an 11-7 lossto the New WestminsterSalmonbellies Wednesdayat Ladner Arena.

New Westminster tookthe B.C. Junior A LacrosseLeague semi-final seriesthree games to one.

Delta jumped out to a2-0 lead close to midwaythrough the first periodwith goals seven secondsapart from Mike Malloryand Steve Higgs butcouldn’t hold onto the lead.

The Salmonbellies stormedback with five straightgoals to end the frame.

Ryan Keith scored twicefor Delta while LoganSchuss, Eli McLaughlin andMichael Berekoff addedsingles.

Daniel McQuadehad a big night for theSalmonbellies with twogoals and five assists whileKeegan Bal had a goal togo along with four helpers.New Westminster’s BrandonGoodwin and Tyler Digbyboth had hat tricks.

Delta out-shot NewWestminster55-43.

TheIslandershad pushedthe series toGame 4 witha dramatic11-10 win onTuesday, withthe winninggoal comingwith only twoseconds left inthe third.

The Ladner Pioneers dropped a 9-6 decision to theNanaimo Timbermen Wednesday at the South DeltaRecreation Centre, missing out on a chance to sweep thesemi-final playoff series.

The Pioneers still lead the West Coast SeniorLacrosse Association series 2-1.

Ladner coach Bob Taylor said his team seemed tiredand took some undisciplined calls on Wednesday. Theteams had played the previous night in Nanaimo, agame the Pioneers won 9-5.

The loss snapped a 15-game winning streak forLadner.

“I think the guys [will be] OK once they get back onit. They were riding a pretty good high,” said Taylor.

The Pioneers will look to close out the series Tuesdayat Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo.

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. The familyis pleased that Roly has finally been accepted at the Universityof British Columbia’s Medical School.

Roly stories are many and varied – some can even be retold inpolite company.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections July 31 - Aug. 6, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Ah, romance –Sunday (and the weeks ahead) bring a light, friendly,flirtatious, fun kind of attraction that you’ve neverquite experienced before. (But you will, many timesin the eight years ahead.) Depending on your ageand situation, romance could be replaced by creativesurges, sports, vacation, joys with children, orspeculative pursuits. Remember, don’t start anythingimportant before Aug. 26 – except this weekend’slove affair. (It will turn into a puzzler, but still worth it.)Tackle routine chores Monday/Tuesday. Relationshipsbless and puzzle, Wednesday onward.Taurus April 20-May 20: Delay big new starts untilAug. 26 onward. A sweet, beneficial aura settles overyour home life, property issues, gardening, retirementplans, security concerns, and with parent-childrenissues and projects. (These are especially luckySunday.) Though you might feel a bit sluggish, theweeks ahead will be very active. Themes of beautyand love toy with your thoughts, like the breeze witha curtain, especially Monday/Tuesday. Old flamesallure, then are gone. You can accomplish important(not new) chores Wednesday to Saturday, but bediplomatic, co-operative Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: This week startswith a great weekend (July 30 and 31). Love andsociety’s approval seem to mix, though this takesplace on a light, friendly note rather than withromance’s mad flush. Your conscience is pleased. Atrip pleases, a friendship could blossom, Sunday orWednesday/Thursday (and all month). Still, certain“disagreements” of belief, religion, law, philosophylurk, and could spring out swiftly, Monday, Thursdayor Friday. You’re prone to make casual commentswhich others take seriously. Start no new projectsbefore Aug. 26 – they would fail. Money’s coming– bank it!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing newbefore Aug. 26. Stick with ongoing projects andrelationships, or reprise past ones. (An acquaintancefrom the past might contact you.) The weeks aheadhold good money luck, especially in the spheresof property, family and friends. (Friends andconventions are excellent conduits to employmentor more clients his year – to June 2012 – if you’reseeking. But wait until Aug. 26 onward to seek thenew. ) That money luck might “show up” Sunday,Monday or Thursday. Wednesday starts seven weeksof sexual magnetism! Romance (only) beckonsFriday/Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Careful until Sept. 19– legal matters can work against you. In far travel,international, cultural, educational and ethicalareas, work with institutions and civil servants– otherwise, these zones can restrict or burden you.For the immediate few weeks ahead – to Aug. 26– avoid starting any major new project. (Then, fromAug. 26 to Sept. 19, form plans to take significantaction in these zones – far travel, etc. – during thelate September to Nov. 10 period.) Despite all these“wait” messages, your charisma, energy and moodclimb mightily now, especially Sunday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Avoid initiating newprojects, relationships or broad lifestyle changesbefore Aug. 26, especially this week. (This weekruns smoothly, but the indecision that a “new start”would cause could be deep and have repercussionsbeyond this month.) In general, you’re a bit tired forseveral weeks ahead. Spend this time contemplating,resting, renewing old acquaintance, resolving oldhurts and putting your emotional and spiritual worldson an even keel. You’re wise now, can understandthings that eluded you in previous years. A socialcontact will pique your sexual interest soon.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new beforeAug. 26. Soon (next week onward) welcome facesfrom the past will enter, among them, perhaps, aformer light romance. But this week (especiallySunday!) the accent is fully on present company– social delights, light romance, popularity,organizations, politics, conventions. Don’t makeany big new relationships, though. You might haveto make a choice over the month ahead, betweenintimacy/sex and friendship. Bosses and VIPs areimpatient, temperamental for seven weeks: bediplomatic! You’re the star, “in charge” Wednesday/Thursday! Speak up!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new,important before Aug. 26. Stick with ongoingpeople and projects, or reprise those from the past– especially in career and status zones. A formerboss, investor, or career role might return soon.(Since you’re in a year of lucky money opportunities,this “return” might have a good money benefit.) Yourreputation is on the line, so have safety nets in place:Plan B, extra supplies, back-up machinery, etc. Keepyour appointment calendar “slim.” People in charge,authorities and parents treat you favourably. Avoidlegal hassles for seven weeks.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: A sweet, mellowmonth of enlightenment, travel, culture, learning andlove lies ahead. You understand the need for a socialor moral code. Embrace wider learning, the hint ofidea, rather than specifics (these can be all awry).Re-check details, addresses, money amounts now toAug. 26 – and start no new projects or relationshipsbefore then. If you’re a student, wait until Aug. 26onward to make you final choice of courses, if youcan. Sunday’s remarkable – love is available, so isa great teacher! Ambition succeeds Monday. Hopesand popularity soar Wednesday/Thursday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start no new projectsor relationships before Aug. 26. A very interestingmonth facesyou,filledwithquietbutpotentmysteries,possibilities, financial keys, golden secrets, intimatebonds and lifestyle choices. And yet – you shouldn’tstart anything new! The viable stuff will come fromthe past, or from ongoing situations. Keep an eyeon indecision, missed deadlines, miscalculatedprofits…but do delve deep and see what’s there.(Especially Sunday, when money is “in the ground.”)Someone seriously contemplates letting you intotheir privacy. Hopes rise at week’s end.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The general accentlies on opportunity, fresh horizons, partnerships,agreements and disputes, negotiation and litigation.You generally like this area, you feel a certain lifeforce or vivacity here. Sunday could be spectacularin these things – be open, forward, approach others,be diplomatic, eager to join. In some cases, loveoccurs! Remember, though, not to start anything newand important before Aug. 26. So those opportunitiesmight come from the past, or the fresh air come frombreaking old chains. Secrets yield profits Monday.Higher-ups are watching Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Separate routinechores from new, difficult or unfamiliar ones. Tackleonly the former before Aug. 26. You might haveto clean up an old mess, or re-assume a formeremployment role. A nice reward accompanies theseactivities. Co-workers are pleasant, affectionate. Ifsomeone offers you a different job Sunday, grab it!But DO NOT buy machinery, a car, electronics, etc. –even clothes – before Aug. 26. Your romantic sceneis going to heat up soon. That’s better than chasinga money gamble that lures you. An ex-partner orspouse might appear – it’s short. Secrets midweek.
