Independentnumbers onthe rise inlegislature

Vicki Huntington is no longerthe only MLA on her own in thelegislature.

However, that doesn’t meanthere’s going to be a new politicalalliance or party made up of whatare now three independents.

Huntington made history in lastyear’s provincial election whenshe became the first independentelected in over 50 years, narrowlybeating out Liberal cabinet minis-ter Wally Oppal in Delta South.

The Liberals had coveted andcourted Huntington but the formerDelta councillor, unhappy withthe current party system of gov-ernment, declined the overture. Itturned out to be a prudent deci-sion as the government’s popular-ity has plummeted due to the HSTdebacle.

In June, Energy Minister BlairLekstrom, MLA for the riding ofPeace River South, stunned theLiberal party by resigning fromcaucus, citing concerns about thehighly controversial harmonizedsales tax.

His move made him the secondindependent MLA. He plans tocontinue to represent his riding asan independent into the next elec-tion if things remain unchangedwith the Liberals, he told theOptimist this week.

And while he’s already spokento Huntington and was offeredassistance from her after heresigned from caucus, it’s tooearly to suggest there could beany formal alliance between thetwo, he said.

“We haven’t really gottentogether to try and formulate anykind of plan as we sit as indepen-dents, certainly not yet,” he said.

“As far as forming a new wayof looking at things, I don’t thinkI’m going to alter my representa-tion. I’ve always put the constitu-ents of Peace River South firstbefore the party I sit with and I’mgoing to continue to do that. Nowrather than with a party, I’m goingto sit as an independent. As it

It’s an utter disaster for Deltafarmers.

Longtime farmer Peter Guichonsays that’s the most fittingdescription about massive croplosses that have occurred due tothe torrential rainfall in the pastcouple of months, a wipeout hesays could very well force someright out of business.

“The towel has been thrown in.Right now they’re in a case wheremost of them won’t make it untilnext year,” said Guichon, a fourthgeneration Delta potato and grainfarmer.

Guichon said there wasabout 9.5 inches of rainfall inSeptember when the norm is 1.6inches, and in the last couple ofmonths there has been 12 inches,

30 per cent of the yearly total.Until September, he said, it had

been a good growing year.“Usually we’re done harvesting

by Thanksgiving weekend, but

all we’ve been able to do is pickaway here and there. There’s verylittle product in the barns and youcan’t even get in and pick by handbecause it’s so far gone now,”Guichon said.

Ladner farmer Ian Paton firstbrought the grim scenario forlocal farmers to the public’s atten-

tion shortly after he won the Deltacouncil by-election last month.Since then, the Fraser Valley hascontinued to experience moreheavy rain, resulting in harvesting

machinery unable to go into satu-rated fields and vegetable cropsrotting in the ground.

Noting 80 per cent of the pota-toes from the Fraser Valley aregrown in Delta, Guichon said,“My dad said he was told in 1920there was no grain harvested inthe delta, so that would tell me we

would have to go back as far as1920 to compare to this year, andthat year may not have been thisbad. There was no grain harvestedafter August 31st this year, noth-ing.”

Delta Farmers’ Institute presi-dent John Savage said many farm-ers are now in major financialdire straights and the governmentneeds to help.

“I just hope they can get aninterest-free loan or something.Government has to step up to theplate and help out, even if it’s justhelping them out until next year’sharvest,” said Savage.

“There’s a ton of outlay whenyou put your crop in — fertil-izers, seed and the fuel use andequipment — but they’re gettingnothing out. They need help to

Two weeks after buryingtheir murdered daughter,Rachael and Mike Szendreimade an impassioned pleafor help Wednesday after-noon.

The grieving coupleshared memories andappealed to the public forinformation that could leadto an arrest.

Laura Szendrei, 15, diedin hospital Sept. 26, oneday after she was viciouslybeaten in broad daylight inNorth Delta’s Mackie Park.

Police still don’t know ifthe attack, in a thick forestin the 8200-block of 110thStreet, was random or tar-geted.

“Every parent’s night-mare is now our unthink-able reality,” sobbedRachael Szendrei, the teen’smom. “Two weeks agotoday, we laid our lovingand beautiful 15-year-olddaughter to rest and westand before you as parentswho are sickened with griefover the senseless death ofour daughter.

“Please, if you knowanything or know who isresponsible for Laura’sdeath, please call the Deltapolice; we need you to helpthem. Please, for Laura’ssake and for our family’ssake, call the Delta police.”

She remembered herdaughter as a “passionatesoul” and “so full of life,”with an infectious smilethat will “forever be etchedin our minds and hearts.”

“She was strong in spiritand had a feisty spirit fullof potential and promise,”she said. “Her plan was tobe a nurse to make sick kidsfeel better.”

She said Laura dreamed

about being married andhaving four children of herown.

The day of the attackstarted out in a “routine”way, her mom recalled.“Everyone was going abouttheir activities believing wewould all come togetheragain at the end of the day.As all of you know, thatnever happened. Instead offilling the weekend with

sporting and friend-relatedactivities, we were calledto the hospital where ourdaughter lay fighting forher life.”

Through tears shethanked North Deltans fortheir support and sympathy.

“From our family toyours, thank you for caringfor us.”

Laura’s dad, Mike, triedto show a brave face but

broke down with grief as hespoke.

“I have no pretense andI may have a rougher exte-rior than some but I havepassion and a tender hearttoward my family,” he said.“There are few moments inmy life that have broughtme significant happiness— marrying my wife andthe birth of my two girls area couple of those moments.

“I pride myself on beingthe protector and providerfor my family. As a father,I am enraged that some-one has taken my daughterLaura who was so precious,innocent and full of life,”he said. “I loved her withall my being and she knewthat.

“I am not the type toask for help but today I amasking — if anyone knowsanything about what hap-pened to our daughter orknows who is responsiblefor her death, please call theDelta police.”

The police can bereached at 604-946-4411.Sgt. Sharlene Brooks saidinvestigators have received360 tips to date.

“We have committed thatno tip will go unanswered,”she said. “Any potential linkwill be investigated.

“We know someone outthere knows something,”she said.

She added that policehope the Szendreis’ emo-tional plea will stir some-one to come forward withwhat they know.

“We hope that may turnthe tide,” she said.

She read a statementfrom Delta police chiefJim Cessford, in which hepromised the Szendreis thathis department “will notleave any stone unturned ortip unanswered.”

Fighting tears during Wednesday’s emotional press conference in North Delta, Rachael and Mike Szendrei appeal to the public forany additional information that could lead to the arrest of their daughter’s killer.

carry through because thisis just a disaster.”

Savage said the rain-dam-aged fields are the worsthe’s ever seen in Delta.

Guichon is the vice-chair of the B.C. VegetableMarketing Commission,which came out with pre-liminary numbers on thecrop losses in the FraserValley. They include over2,900 acres of potatoes and4,622 total acres of veg-etables lost.

Another consequence,Guichon noted, is that seedgrowers were also wipedout, which will result in alimited supply of potatoseed varieties unique toB.C.

A spokesperson forthe B.C. Ministry ofAgriculture told theOptimist that ministry staff“are aware of the situa-tion affecting growers inthe Fraser Valley, and havemet with growers andB.C. Vegetable MarketingCommission members tohear their concerns andreceive additional com-

ments. Staff are workingwith growers now to inspectfields and assess the dam-age.”

The spokesperson saidProduction Insurance andAgriStability staff mem-bers “are acting quickly toensure growers have accessto the help they need to getthrough this difficult time.”

Noting the losses couldbe in the $35 million range,just wholesale, coveringsuch crops as potatoes,beets and carrots, Guichonsaid crop insurance isnowhere near adequateto cover such widespreadlosses.

“Crop insurance pays30 per cent of your inputcosts, there’s a 20 per centdeductible, so right off thebat if you plant 1,000 acresyou have to lose 200 acresbefore you get paid onepenny. In a case like thisyear, it’s better than noth-ing,” explained Guichon.

“A lot of farmers didn’ttake it because it’s like hav-ing a half-million dollarhouse burn to the ground

and the insurance com-pany comes and gives youa cheque for a hundredgrand.”

According to the minis-try, most major potato andvegetable producers arealso enrolled in the 2010AgriStability Program,where participants canapply for interim paymentsto assist with cash flow.

AgriStability protects afarmer from farm incomedeclines, including whenthere is a production loss,but Guichon said that’s lim-ited to a certain percentage.

He noted an agri-recov-ery program, a federal-pro-vincial funded initiative, isthe farmers’ best bet, butthe provincial governmentmust first contribute so thefeds do the same.

“This thing is needed sobadly that I’ve mentioned toa few people in the indus-try that even if the farm-ers had to put in 10 or 20cents on the dollar to helpthe province, at least thenthey would see us as beingpro-active and being partof it,” said Guichon, notingB.C. has yet to utilize theprogram.

stands now I have everyintention of running again,”Lekstrom said.

Another politician whorecently found himself onhis own is New DemocratBob Simpson, MLA forCariboo North, who wasbooted from caucus byleader Carole James fol-lowing critical commentsof her.

He told the Optimistwhile he has the sameviews as Huntington whenit comes to the party sys-tem, he needs to let thedust settle on his situation,which must still be workedout and perhaps rectified.

“I’ve been talking withthe speaker of the houseand with the controller, andvarious others, to under-stand what my options are,and once I get that I’ll bein a better position to knowwhere I’m at and be in abetter position to talk toBlair and Vicki, becauseI do think there’s oppor-tunities for us to be ableto coordinate some of ouractivities and try to figure

out how we work together.”Simpson pointed out

his situation differs fromHuntington and Lekstromin that he still considershimself a New Democratand member of the party,and plans to campaign as anNDPer unless told he’s notallowed.

Huntington, who recentlycalled on the two MLAs toforge a new style of rep-resentation now that theyhave the freedom to speakon behalf of their com-munities, said she hasn’tapproached either aboutforging any kind of formalpolitical alliance in thehouse.

“I could see once eachhas established what each’spositions are on differ-ent aspects of governmentpolicy, I could certainly seeworking with either or bothif we felt similarly aboutsomething and supportedeach other in terms of anattempt to change govern-ment policy. That doesn’tmean you have to be acoalition or an alliance or

party,” she said.Huntington added she’s

pleased to hear Lekstrommay run as an independentin 2013.

Delta council won’tconsider a developmentapplication for a propertyadjacent to Burns Bog forthe time being.

That was the positiontaken by civic politiciansat a recent workshop whererepresentatives from EarthKing Investments explaineda revamped proposal fortwo parcels at 10555-64thAve., near the interchangewith Highway 91.

A retirement village andcampus of care, the devel-opment would include 32duplex units and 100 multi-family units for independentseniors, 128 units for sup-portive and assisted living,

and a care facility with 165rooms. A restaurant near the64th Avenue frontage alongwith some commercialspace was also proposed.

An earlier proposal for ahotel and convention centrehad been withdrawn.

Staff reminded councilthe site is within MetroVancouver’s Green Zoneand the regional district stillhasn’t completed updatingits livable region plan. It’sthe same reason councilelected not to consider anydevelopment applicationsfor the site earlier this year.

A memo by commu-nity planning director TomLeathem, summarizing anAug. 30 workshop, notedcouncil members also had anumber of concerns, includ-

ing the agriculturally zonedsite being somewhat iso-lated from North Delta andits proximity to the bog.

In an interview with theOptimist prior to the work-shop, Bobby Pawar, ownerand president of Earth KingInvestments, said the typeof seniors’ housing he’sproposing is sorely lackingin the municipality. He alsosaid the soil quality is fartoo poor for agriculturalpurposes.

According to Leathem,a draft of the new livableregion plan will be for-warded to municipalitiesthis fall. It is expected to beadopted later this year orearly 2011, at which timeDelta could then receivedevelopment applications.

The Optimist wouldlike to correct and clarifysome figures reported in anAug. 28 story about fund-ing obtained by the DeltaFarmland and WildlifeTrust.

It was reported thetrust received a $35,000grant from the VancityEnviroFund. In fact,

that figure was actually$45,000.

It was also reported Deltahas provided $293,000 forwinter cover crop, grass-land set-asides and researchprograms. It should beclarified that money wasallocated by Delta councilto the Delta Wildlife ForageFund, not specifically to

the trust. Funding the trusthas received from Delta inrecent years comes fromthat forage fund, includingsupport for its winter covercrop and grassland set-asides programs.

The trust also receivedfunding from several othersources, including theVancouver Foundation.

Business

What started out as a per-sonal quest for a healthierlifestyle turned into a busi-ness opportunity and theinvention of a product.

Tsawwassenite KateMcNulty met businesspartner Bonnie Barton at aVancouver gym a few yearsago. McNulty, who has adegree in human kinetics,was working as a personaltrainer and Barton, who hadjust had a baby, was hittingthe gym in an attempt tolose the last stubborn 15pounds of baby weight.

They started talkingabout the constant strugglemany people have of losingweight and keeping it off,and both agreed one of thekeys is eating healthy, por-tion-controlled meals.

They experimented withlugging around multiplecontainers containing theirallotted food for the day,and soon thought there hadto be a better way. They puttheir heads together andcame up with Vidadish.

Vidadish is a new spin ontraditional, portable plasticfood containers. The prod-uct consists of two pieces,one for meals and the sec-

ond for snacks.The larger container for

meals is divided into threecompartments — carbo-hydrates, protein and fat.The protein portion can beremoved from the main dishand put in a microwave forheating.

The smaller container,which is designed for dailysnacks, is divided into twocompartments, one forprotein and one for carbo-hydrates.

The idea is to fill eachcompartment with the rightfood elements. If the com-partment is overflowing oryou can’t get the lid on, it

means your portion is toolarge, McNulty said.

The dishes can easilybe taken on the road, butcan also be used at hometo measure meal portionswhile cooking.

After two years ofworking on the product,McNulty and Bartonlaunched Vidadish inSeptember.

It’s been a labour of lovefor the business partnerswho wanted ensure a highlevel of quality. Vidadish ismade from BPA-free plas-tic and is manufactured inCloverdale.

They also wanted tomake sure it was aestheti-cally pleasing as well asfunctional.

“It was important for it tolook good as well,” Bartonsaid.

The sets, which can alsobe bought in three packs,also come with a meal-planning guide.

“We want to teach peopleand educate people... it’s alifestyle change,” McNultysaid.

Barton echoed that state-ment, saying their system

will help educate peopleabout eating properly,something that is lost withweight-loss food deliverysystems.

Vidadish is currentlyavailable online at www.vidadish.com and at NewDay Personal Training andFitness in Tsawwassen.

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

So all that effort to attract and retainstudents is actually paying off for theDelta school district.

When the bell rang last June, over1,400 students graduated in Delta, yetless than 1,000 took their place by reg-istering for kindergarten in September.This discrepancy had the makings ofanother significant decline in enrollment,so the fact the district is only down 180students from last year is a testament toits efforts to stem the tide.

At $8,300 in funding from Victoria perstudent, preventing the loss of 250 or sokids has resulted in over $2 million stay-ing in local coffers, not an insignificantamount for a school board that hacks andslashes each spring to balance the books.They still have to pay teachers to teachthese kids, so it’s not like it’s all profit,but the situation is a heck of a lot rosierthan if that money had disappeared alongwith the students.

We’re told that after decades of steadydecline that enrollment will stabilizeover the next four or five years, which isa good thing because I wonder just howmany more programs and academies thedistrict could conceivably offer.

I realize the notion of enticing kidsto school, rather than simply educatingthose in the neighbourhood, is what thedistrict has to do to stay solvent in thesetimes, but it’s created a slippery slope.

There is declining enrollment acrossthe province, so it’s not just a Delta thing,but you’ve got to think the situation hereis exacerbated by the housing market,specifically the high prices and lack ofchoice.

Delta boomed in the 1960s and ‘70sbecause the George Massey Tunnelturned this area into a sea of affordablesingle-family homes and it’s no coinci-dence school enrollment hit an all-timehigh in 1980, some 3,000 students abovetoday’s total.

It would seem the simple answer to thecurrent mess is to build more houses, buteven if you could find the land, and thenecessary approvals, any single develop-ment is only going to benefit the schoolnearest that project.

The dilemma facing district officialsis far more systemic than that, so itwould take a significant policy changeto increase densities across the board tomake Delta a welcome destination forfamilies, just like it was in the ‘60s and‘70s.

I’m not convinced there’s enough ofan appetite to make that happen, which isunderstandable given the potential chang-es to the community’s character, but if itdoesn’t, it will leave local schools scram-bling to fill those desks.

Let’s say you have completed anagricultural sciences degree and arelooking to get into the business ofsoil-based crop farming. You arenot from a farming family but havedone your homework and love theidea of working the land as a nobleand worthwhile pastime. You havebeen eyeing that 114-acre pieceadjacent to Highway 17 and areabout to take the plunge.

You have been able to raise the$1 million needed for a down pay-ment on the $10 million mortgageyou will need for the $100,000/acreof land and a couple of out-build-ings.

Fast forward to the time whereyou have purchased or leased$300,000 worth of machinery toprepare and harvest the potato cropyou have chosen for the first yearof operation and you are now readyto prepare the land for planting.

The upfront cost per acre tooptimize the land is approximately

$3,300 an acre. This includes seedcost, land tenure, fertilizers, chemi-cals and other preparation costs.

You plant your crop in the springof 2010 and in the fall of 2010 allhell breaks loose. On Aug. 31, 55mm of rain pours on to the deltaand the pattern continues for muchof September, making the 30-dayperiod from Aug. 31 to Sept. 30 thewettest on record.

This is where Delta farmland istoday. The magnitude of the effecthas not been fully understood butearly estimates say the value of thedamage to potatoes and other rootcrops is around $25 million.

If you can get your machineryon the ground, it is next to impos-sible to harvest the potato crop.More than 24 hours in a watersoaked environment starts thedecay process and renders the spuduseless in a hurry.

Potato farmers may be able topull 15 to 20 per cent of the cropbut that will not be enough to coverthe investment made in the spring-time.

In the case of potatoes, theunknown and most serious questionremains: What of the seed crop? Itis also stuck in the ground and rot-ting, which makes next year’s cropquestionable.

As luck would have it, thishorrible scenario for a new large-

scale crop farmer will not pan outbecause there are no new farmersattempting to overcome this riskand these massive barriers to entry.

Lucky too for the farmingfamilies that have been in Deltafor generations in that they are atleast partially insulated from thisdisaster through their relationshipswith their customers, suppliers andcreditors.

Agricultural practices and prod-ucts are diversifying in B.C. as newmarkets and opportunities emerge.Education around agriculture isparamount to its continued successas a contributor to our economy.

The Earthwise Society is a localresource that is working, in part, toeducate the youth in our commu-nity about agriculture. Their majoreducation fundraiser, the 100 mileBanquet, is Nov. 5. Tickets go fastso if you want to support agricul-tural education in your community,you should call 604-946-9828 toreserve.

One more thing: In light of whathas happened to some of our cropsthis harvest season, the next timeyou are swearing to yourself behinda tractor on a local highway orroad, you should bite your tongue.Instead of flipping the bird to thedriver when you eventually pass,maybe give him or her an encour-aging wave. Our farmers deserve it.

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Why are so many cyclists

on the narrow sidewalksof 56th Street and 12thAvenue, the main streets ofTsawwassen?

It’s terrific to see somany cyclists out and aboutin Tsawwassen, thus reduc-ing the volume of carsand giving us cleaner air,but cyclists do not belongon the narrow sidewalksof 56th Street and 12thAvenue.

Cyclists on the sidewalkare a serious hazard topedestrians that have theright of way on sidewalks.It is reasonable to allowchildren cyclists on the

sidewalks but they must becareful of the pedestrians.Young cyclists must get offtheir bikes and walk aroundthose who walk.

Cyclists belong on theroad.

56th Street needs offi-cial recognition and des-ignation as TsawwassenBoulevard, the main streetof Tsawwassen, with widersafe pedestrian walk-ways and bike lanes fromHighway 17 to the U.S. bor-der. 12th Avenue also needsrecognition as a secondarycentral street with the samepedestrian and cycle space.

Today it is unsafe anddifficult to walk on the

narrow and often unevensidewalks along 56th Street,especially on the west sidefrom Windsor Woods north-wards. What about all theelderly folks who live inapartments near 56th Streetthat may need walkers?They cannot walk along56th Street safely and withcomfort.

Added to this is the realdanger of cyclists riding onthe sidewalks, coming upquickly behind or in frontof pedestrians.

Now is the time to clear-ly ask for this fundamentalchange to Tsawwassen’sinfrastructure for a redesignof our town from a through-

way to a destination.If you want these chang-

es in the Tsawwassen AreaPlan, submit your requestto mayor and council inwriting prior to the publichearing or present at thehearing, Oct.26 and 27.

Safe and livable mainstreets for Tsawwassen aregood for everyone, espe-cially Tsawwassen business.As the streets change fromthrough traffic corridorsto places of interestingshops and destinations,Tsawwassen will becomea real place of pride forresidents and to share withvisitors.

Cyclists need to get off sidewalksand onto well marked bike lanes

Editor:Re: Fence across dike

prompts immediate con-cerns from those along

River Road, Oct. 9I, like many Ladner resi-

dents, have enjoyed walkingaccess to the dike that, notknown to me, is on private

property.Silly of me to assume

that I and many otherLadner residents had theright to trespass on public,or so I thought, property.

For granting us past,unimpeded access to thedike, I thank the property

owner for many years ofpleasurable walking. I lookforward to the day thatyou and the municipalityresolve the issues, if any,that brought on the fenceso we could become goodneighbours again.

Perhaps the fence could

be used to enclose the park-ing lot and the RV pad withan easement between thetwo that would allow themunicipality access for dikemaintenance and the walk-ing public access for what Itook for granted.

Rolf Zell

Editor:Perhaps your readers

can help me out. I am con-fused by the sign stating“No Dogs” at the top ofthe steps at Fred GingellPark leading down to thebeach.

I initially thought thissign meant no dogs wereallowed on the steps. Thiscannot be true because onThanksgiving Monday Iencountered four dogs andtheir owners while negoti-ating the steps.

One was being carried,one large, forbidding ani-mal was alone and leashedto a bench mid-way down,one was fetching sticksand one was simply run-ning free.

So, what could this sign

mean, I wonder?No Dogs except if

accompanied by humans?Perhaps, but then whatabout lone dogs who can-not read? Not helpful.

No Dogs except thoseon their way to and fromthe beach? Well, that is theonly place the steps leadto. Waste of paint.

No Dogs except ifthey’ve been really goodtoday and need to burn offenergy?

No Dogs except ifthey’ve been a darned nui-sance all day and need toburn off energy?

I don’t know. Perhapsthe dog owners who werethere on Monday can writein and help me out.

Simon Ruddell

Editor:We went with our little

dog (armed with leash andplenty of “poo bags”) lastweek to Kits Beach. He hadgreat fun walking the beachand even more fun when wediscovered an “off-leash”part of the beach.

It was so much fun wedecided to try somethingcloser to home and went upto Fred Gingell Park to go

down the public stairs toour public beach to go for alovely walk with our dog.

How disappointing tosee the very large sign atthe top of the stairs: “NODOGS ALLOWED”

What’s with that, Delta?Why must we go all theway into Vancouver toenjoy a walk on the beachwith our dog?

Tom Robb

Longing for time when public could access dike

Trouble making sense of sign

Nice walk, but only in Vancouver

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: HST is good for B.C.

business, letter to the editor,Oct. 2

Thanks to John Winter ofthe Smart Tax Alliance forpointing out what is alreadyclear: business gains fromthe HST and the publicpays.

His claims that improvedbusiness revenue will resultin lower consumer pricingand more jobs are a studyof economics in heaven.Business has the “option”to lower prices and hire

more, however the public is“mandated” to pay 12 percent no matter what busi-ness decides to do.

Winter is anotherexample of writers andcommentators who fail tounderstand the rage this taxcreated beyond the lyingand the politics.

Whether you are self-employed or work forsomeone else, every dollaryou earn is subject to a longlist of government taxation.The federal and provincialgovernments tax your entireincome, and if you’re abusiness owner, they taxwhatever profit your busi-ness makes first.

Then we are taxed forproperty transfers, tires,fishing licences, gas taxes,municipal property taxes,hunting licences, envi-ronmental taxes on paint,municipal service taxes,alcohol, ICBC, workerscompensation, cigarettes,provincial medical pay-ments, etc.

They even found a meth-od to tax people’s hopesand dreams with the lotterysystem.

It’s really quite amazingthat people have enoughmoney left to live.

So, in view of all that,what the HST now rep-resents to me is a tax oneverything else we pur-chase. Everything!

There was a time whenthere was just income taxand “sin” taxes, but nowthe government takes apercentage of our income,taxes us for every servicewe receive, applies a tax to

every activity and interestin life, and now with theHST wants a 12 per centtax on everything we buywith whatever money wehave left.

I suppose there is a goodside to the HST in thatthere’s almost nothing leftto apply another tax to!

Since Canada largelydodged the worldwideeconomic downturn, ourgovernments haven’t beenforced to take a serious lookat what is going on.

It’s long past time thatall levels of governmentstopped hemorrhaging ourtax dollars.

We do not have the rightto leave this kind of debtfor our children no matterhow we justify it.

Rather than trying tofind new ways to tax us,the people we elect shouldunderstand what the word“budget” means, and learnto live with no more taxincreases.

With regard to BillVander Zalm and all thevarious comments, I learnedall to well when I tried topromote the Hoover/Naasalternative to the SouthFraser Perimeter Road thatyou will not get attention inthe media unless you are acelebrity or engage in civildisobedience.

Whatever Vander Zalmwas, or whatever his cur-rent ambitions are, I trulyappreciate his efforts as acatalyst to bring this issueto the front page. It wouldnot have happened withouthim.

Prices could go down, butpaying tax is a certainty

Editor:Re: MLAs raise safety

issues about truck trainsusing Delta roads, Oct. 9I love Ladner. I have only

been here for 20+ years andI know that I am in the bestplace on earth to live. Thepeople and community arethe best. I even love howpassionate we are about ourcommunity — our hospital,our new hospice, issueson the container/coal port,truck and air traffic on ourroads and airways.

That is why the “quiet”about the recent announce-ment that truck trains willbe travelling down Highway17 has caught me by sur-prise.

We all have been wait-

ing patiently for the currenttruck traffic to be removedfrom the highway and nowthere’s only three moreyears to go.

It appears that Deltacouncil has now decidedthere will be a “truck void”after the current trucks arererouted and therefore willfill that void with trucktrains.

What are they thinking?Do they have any commonsense at all?

Please, let’s get passion-ate again about the trucktraffic. Let council know weare not happy with its deci-sion. In fact, let’s vote themout next election. Stupidityshould not be rewarded.

Henry JonkerLadner Christian Reformed Church

I have the privilege of having aseat at the Delta Seniors’ PlanningTable. The “table” functions as athink tank regarding seniors issuesin our community and their abilityto “age in place.” The “table” con-sists of three sub-teams focused ontransportation, housing and services,respectively. We are grateful for thefinancial support of the United Way.

I thought I would use this spaceto alert you to the fact that a specialforum regarding seniors issues isgoing to be held on Saturday, Oct.23. Whether we’re seniors, personsapproaching senior age (50+), orchildren of seniors, we have anopportunity to become aware of whatis or is not happening in our com-munity.

The forum will feature a keynotespeaker (Gordon Price, director of

SFU City Program) and offer variousworkshops on the three importantissues already mentioned.

Last, but certainly not least, inthinking about seniors “aging inplace” I can’t help but think of thebeautiful image revealed in the OldTestament prophecy of Zechariah.There the “City of Truth” isdescribed as the place where: “onceagain men and women of ripe oldage will sit in the streets ... eachwith cane in hand because of (their)age...” Streets “filled with boys andgirls playing there.” Zechariah 8:3-5.

The forum is scheduled to takeplace Oct. 23 from 10 a.m. to 2.15pm. It’s free (light lunch included)and will be held at the Delta ManorEducation Centre. You need to reg-ister by contacting [email protected] or 604-946-9526.

In the Community

Many areas throughoutCanada and the world arelooking at what makes acommunity age-friendly.What needs to be in placewithin communities toensure that, as we age, weare able to remain activeand independent?

What is an age-friendlycommunity? How arethey developed? How canseniors be involved in pro-moting healthier, safer andmore responsive communi-

ties?These are a few ques-

tions that will be discussedat an upcoming com-munity forum hosted byDelta Seniors CommunityPlanning Team. Are WeLiving in an Age-FriendlyCommunity will be heldon Saturday, Oct. 23 from10 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. at theDelta Manor EducationCentre in Ladner.

Gordon Price, directorof Simon Fraser University

City Program and a for-mer Vancouver councillor,is the keynote speaker. Arenowned lecturer, writerand blogger on local gov-ernment, land use andtransportation issues, Pricewill provide an overviewof the characteristics ofage-friendly communitiesas a response to increasedurbanization and increasingseniors population.

Forum attendees willparticipate in panel discus-sions that will examine thetopics of transportation,seniors housing options andservices to seniors.

The Delta SeniorsCommunity Planning Team,seniors, service providersand community groups havemet regularly to learn aboutthe changing needs andissues for seniors.

Funded by United Wayand sponsored by DeltassistFamily and Community

Services, they have basedtheir work on the Agingin Place, Seniors ProjectReport completed in 2009.This report concluded thatDelta seniors are mainlylongtime Delta residentswho are relatively healthyand plan to remain living intheir community.

They feel Delta is a safeplace to live and the servic-es they currently need areavailable to them. However,they are concerned thatunless steps are takento plan for the growingnumbers of seniors, hous-ing options, transportationalternatives and servicesneeded to maintain inde-pendence and active livesmay not be available.

Now, let’s see. Howfar down the west side ofDelta Street in Ladner hadwe rambled before otherbusiness interrupted? Wehad reached the two-storeybuilding on the southwestcorner of Delta and Trenantstreets, built by the OddFellows, now owned by theMasons.

When my father leftLadner in 1923, my mothertook over The WeeklyOptimist. She rented fromEdgar Fenton the two-sto-rey building adjoining theIOOF building on the south,installed printing equipmentin the south half of theground floor, and the upperfloor became our home oftwo bedrooms, dining-livingroom and kitchen. No bath-

room on the upper floor.That was in a corner of theground floor.

Neil McDiarmid, retiredmunicipal clerk, rented thefront half of the north sideof the lower floor and suf-fered having three teenag-ers, my two brothers andme, nearby and the noise ofthe two printing presses andracket that old-time printingcreated.

My mother had trainedas a teacher at McGillUniversity and while shehad no skills as a printer,she was able to hire retiredcraftsmen who took careof the requirements of theprinting trade.

We were in the Fentonbuilding until 1938 whenthe family bought propertyoff the Methodist Churchon the corner of Westhamand Delta streets. That’sanother account I’ll come tolater. There are more mem-ories I could tell you aboutour sojourn in the buildingnext to the Odd Fellows

Hall, but a couple will suf-fice now.

My brothers and I foundthat we could get the ingre-dients for fireworks fromFisher’s drug store up thestreet, so we bought someof the chemicals, found afew short pieces of pipe,mixed up the chemicals andprepared for the display.It didn’t happen. We hadmixed the chemicals butnot in the right proportions,so the display was a smokysputtering instead of a big

bang.Chief of police Scott

Fenton, brother of ourlandlord, took a very dim

view of our pyrotechnicalefforts, bawled us out andwarned us not to try again.We didn’t.

In the building imme-diately to the south of ourhome, the Craig family hadopened a bakery and thethree Dunning youngstersbenefitted every Sundaymorning when the bakerpassed over the fence thedoughnuts unsold fromSaturday.

One more memory: TheMorleys lived in the house

at the south end of ourblock and their son, Peter,was one of our playmates.One day Pete climbed outthe window of the secondfloor — I never found outwhy — intending to drop tothe ground below.

When he found how farit was he hung on untilrescued by Billy Wellburnfrom the butcher shopacross the street and EdBell who lived in the houseto the north of the Morleyhome.

Have you ever noticedthe garbage that is tangledamongst the seaweed as youstroll along the beach atBoundary Bay?

From bottle caps toStyrofoam, non-biodegrad-

able items litter our shore-lines. Where does it comefrom? What happens if wedon’t pick it up?

On Thursday, Oct. 21 andFriday, Oct. 22, the DeltaMuseum and Archives

will be presenting Perilsof Plastic, a series of shortfilms and photos that docu-ment what it’s like on anisland of toothbrushes, cig-arette lighters, combs andother swirling garbage.

For Okanagan-basedcinematographer JanVozenilek, the journey thatbegan with a surprisinginvitation ended with reelsof touching footage. Asone of the five-person crew

who traveled far north toMidway Atoll Islands in theNorth Pacific, Vozenilekdocumented a plastic trag-edy-in-process.

These islands may beremote, but the liquid

lifeline from local waters,to rivers, to oceans isunbroken; an island threekilometres long and hometo millions of albatross thatcannot distinguish betweena bottle cap and their tra-ditional seafood fare. Anestimated one-third of thesebird fledglings die everyyear of starvation and chok-ing.

Once an unseen environ-mental disaster, the imagespresented will change afamily’s buying habits.

Perils of Plastic will bepresented from 7 to 9 p.m.on Thursday, Oct. 21 at theTsawwassen Arts Centreand Friday, Oct. 22 at theFirehall Centre for the Artsin North Delta. Tickets are$10 per person. Pre-regis-tration is recommended andtickets can be purchased bycalling 604-946-9322.

Campbell, who wasborn and raised in Banff,but is now based out ofWheatland, Wyoming, hasconducted clinics through-out the U.S. and Canadasince 1988. He puts onclose to 40 clinics annually.

Even with all that experi-ence Campbell says he’sstill learning new thingsabout horsemanship.

“I don’t think you everstop learning, no mat-ter where you’re at. Thejourney of knowledge is a

learning thing and you learnevery day something new,”he said.

“I think it’s one of thosethings that keeps on goingand going until your lastbreath.”

Campbell has also puttogether a series of horse-manship DVDs and hasappeared on programs

like Horse TV and theHorseman’s Radio Weekly.

A book on his life, train-ing philosophy and methodsis in the works.

“We’ve been playing fora while now and our soundis coming together. It’s notthat simple even though weplayed in the ‘60s,” saysdrummer John Gedak. “It’seasy to play but it’s anotherthing to make it sound goodand be cohesive.”

Gedak says the untitleddisc is going through themixing process but samples

of the new songs can beheard on the band’s website.

Venetian rhapsody

Following the rec-ommendationsof our Venetianhotelier, my hus-band and I set off

to find a small family-runrestaurant in the labyrin-thine city of Venice.

His directions seemedsimple enough: “You gorighta, then lefta, crossa thecanal, passa the church andyou will find the osteria inthe campo.”

Being neophytes, onecampo (square) lookedlike another and soon wefound ourselves at a dead-end beside a canal litteredwith bobbing gondolas.Now enveloped in a softpearly mist, we resorted toour map and flashlight andsoon we had retraced oursteps along the narrow calle(alley) where we found theosteria (restaurant).

Packed with locals,we squeezed betweentiny wooden tables andseated ourselves besidean American couple who,being fluent in Italian,helped us interpret themenu. Our ominous begin-ning turned out to be agreat evening.

Located at the north-ern end of the AdriaticSea, Venice is connectedto mainland Italy by acauseway. Cutting throughthe city’s core, the GrandCanal, in the shape of aswan’s neck, wends pastpalazzo (mansions) dat-ing from the 12th century.The Rialto and Accademiabridges cross the canal andare prime locations fromwhich to watch the water-borne traffic transportingpeople, luggage, groceries,animals, furniture, buildingmaterials and even coffins.

The parade of life is end-less and fascinating. I doubt

that Venetian men of anyage need to spend muchtime in the gym as theyare constantly loading andunloading goods and trun-dling them down alleywayswith great alacrity.

To get our first impres-sion of Venice, we took avaporetto (boat) from themain train station to thefamous Piazza San Marco(St. Mark’s Square). Evenin late October, our boatwas packed and any idea oftaking photos, never mindlocating my camera, wasout of the question.

Eventually someonerelinquished a seat near thebow, from which I had agreat view of sleek blackgondolas gliding niftilybetween the water taxis.

To my right, the cabindoor banged to and fro andI watched the uniformedcaptain, spinning the ship’swheel with one hand whilehe chatted with much ges-

ticulation to other passingcraft on his speakerphone.I didn’t see any lifejackets.Thankfully the canal wasn’ttoo deep but there were lotsof bambinos on board.

After nearly an hour, wereached our destination.

The Piazza San Marcois truly a breathtakingspot and it was fun towalk among the flutteringpigeons and take in thebeauty of the Doge’s Palacewith the Bridge of Sighs,St. Mark’s Basilica, the tallCampanile bell tower andthe Correr Museum. Later,we would visit them all andimmerse ourselves in theirhistory.

Our second day fell ona Sunday so we attendedmorning mass at the FrariChurch near our albergo(hotel).

Sitting in this FranciscanChurch listening to thetalented guitarist and let-ting our eyes roam over

the great masterpiecesby the Renaissance art-ists Donatello, Titian andBellini was indeed an expe-rience to be savored.

Afterwards, we visitedthe adjacent Scuola Grandedi San Rocco, which fea-tures spectacular paintingsby Tintoretto.

To avoid whiplash fromlooking heavenwards, wetook one of the large handmirrors and held it horizon-tally for a painless view ofthe masterpieces. On depar-ture, we joined the usualline to pick up our daypacksfrom the mandatory checkin.

Suffering from a littlecultural indigestion, wedecided our next trip shouldbe a more leisurely oneto the lagoon islands ofMurano and Burano. After1291 the island of Muranobecame home to glassmak-ing when it was deemed toodangerous to keep the fiery

furnaces on the main island.Today visitors can wanderround Murano with itsmany factories displayingexquisite glass artistry.

The nearby island ofBurano is a pleasant littlefishing village whose claimto fame is lace making. Thequaint houses lining thecanals are painted in a cor-nucopia of pastel colours.Shops and stalls spill ontothe square and there arelace handkerchiefs, table-cloths and bookmarksgalore. In the shade, we sawseveral old timers work-ing deftly on their laceycreations. In this part of theworld, time has certainlystood still.

Waste reduction on stage

DreamRider Theatre willbring its latest environmen-tal awareness play to Deltaelementary schools nextweek.

Zero Heroes, a play aboutsolid waste and consumer-ism, combines humouralong with an environmen-tally friendly message tostudents.

“All our shows are veryfunny. One of the hallmarksof our shows is that kidsfrom kindergarten all theway up to Grade 7 reallyenjoy them. It’s a widerange. We put in jokes forteachers too,” said VanessaLeBourdais, a co-founder ofDreamRider Theatre.

The story has EsmeraldaSuperspy Planet Protector— and her sidekick Goober— in a struggle to stop theevil Dr. Carbon from cover-ing the planet in garbage.

LeBourdais said it’snot easy to mix humorousaspects into the play whilestill getting an environ-mental message across.She said in Zero Heroes,the life cycle of a product,from resource extraction towaste, is covered.

“It is a very big, compli-cated concept for little kidsto understand, so we have tofigure out how to break itdown into the most simplepieces ... then make it funnyand entertaining,” she said.“That’s actually the longestprocess of the whole pro-duction.”

DreamRider was formedby veteran theatre artists IanGschwind and LeBourdaisin 1998 while actor/directorSarah Holt joined the groupin 2001. Gschwind washonoured in September bythe Burns Bog ConservationSociety with an Eco-ArtsAward for environmental

activism through the artswhile Earth Day Canadanamed DreamRider as oneof the Top 10 CanadianHometown Heroes last year.

Regardless of a vehicle’sage, a roadside emergencycan occur at any time.Drivers should be preparedwith a basic kit of tools andequipment to get the carback on the road as soon aspossible.

At the very least, a road-side emergency can be aminor inconvenience. At theworst, it can compromisethe safety of the driver andpassengers.

Anything from a blown-out tire to an overheatedengine can necessitate pull-ing over for a quick fix.Having the right tools canmake the process go farmore smoothly and helpdrivers avoid the seeminglyendless wait for service per-sonnel to arrive.

Stocking a roadsiderepair kit requires somenecessities. It’s also a goodidea to routinely check thestock of the kit to be sureeverything is in workingorder.

Here are the items tokeep on hand in a roadsiderepair kit:

First aid kit: Handlingmajor or minor emergenciesmay require a first aid kit tomend scratches, abrasionsor minor burns. Becomefamiliar with the kit beforeit is needed.

Cellular phone: It’s nevera good idea to talk on acell phone while driving.However, a mobile phonecan prove invaluable if thereis an emergency. Simplycall for assistance instead of

having to seek out a phoneor flag down a motorist.

Flaresor warn-ing light:A break-down atnight orwhen vis-ibility ispoor canbe danger-ous. Keepa warn-ing light,cautiontriangleor flaresin thetrunk toilluminatethe loca-tion of thevehicle.

Inflatedspare tire: Always keep a

spare tire on hand, as tireblowouts or leaks tend tobe one of the most commoncauses of breakdowns. Besure to have a tire iron, jackand lug wrench.

Spare fuses: A burnt-outfuse may be responsiblefor an electrical problem.Replacing the fuse is aneasy fix.

Jumper cables: A deadbattery can be revived withjumper cables, providedanother car is available tooffer the jump. A portablebattery booster is anotherhandy tool in case there areno other cars to rechargethe battery.

Flashlight: This simpletool can be invaluable atnight, especially if keys ortools are dropped.

Gloves, cleaner and rags:Cars are full of oils, fluidsand grease. That meanseven a simple repair can geta person dirty.

Pen and paper: Idealfor leaving a note or tak-ing down information inthe event of an accident. Adisposable or digital cameracan also be handy to takephotos of an accident scene.

Money: When travelling,always carry cash for emer-gencies. Not every placetakes credit or debit cards.

Snacks and water: Aroadside emergency maymean some time spentstranded. Keep a stash ofnon-perishable items inthe car to alleviate hun-ger pangs and keep ridersquenched.

Don’t be left stranded on side of roadA well stocked emergency kit can be difference between minor inconvenience and major headache

Car Care

Driving slowly and cau-tiously is good advice, butCar Care Canada remindsmotorists of other coldweather tips.

The first and mostimportant is to be proactive.

That means making sureyour car is mechanicallysound before temperaturesdip and streets get icy.

Car Care Canada recom-mends the following tasksbe performed by a do-it-

yourselfer or professionalauto technician:

• Check the coolant (anti-freeze); coolant should beflushed and refilled everytwo years in most vehicles.

• Check the owner’s

manual to see if you areconsidered “severe” andif so, have the oil changedaccordingly, usually every5,000 kilometres. MostCanadians qualify forsevere conditions, which

mean you drive in stop andgo traffic or other condi-tions that increase wear andtear on your vehicle.

• Check the battery andexhaust system.

• Be certain the heater

and defroster are workingproperly.

• Ensure your windshieldis free of dings and cracks.Cold temperatures can turna small ding into a majorcrack.

Tips to keep vehicle in shape as the cold weather draws near


Preparing your carduring Winter

Along with insuring that your tires are properlyinflated, have adequate tread depth (70%or approximately 6/32") and are at least AllSeason M+S rated we recommend that fourwinter tired be installed. Although we do nothave as severe winters as other places inCanada the one or two severe winter stormsthat do affect us each year cause havoc onour roads and having 4 winter tires ensuresthat you have the maximum traction availableunder any conditions.

We could also recommend the following carcare is to help avoid any unpleasant surprises:

• Brakes should be inspected and if replacement is requiredthe brake fluid should also be flushed at the same time. Brakefluid over time absorbs moisture which will degrade brakingperformance and in extreme situations also cause brake failure. Asa rule of thumb change brake fluid every 2-3 years.

• Windshield wipers should be replaced at this time annually toensure clear visibility. Remember to place your ice scraper in yourvehicle.

• Coolant should be checked to ensure that it contains at least a50-50 mix of anti-freeze and water. The system should be flushedat regular intervals as specified in your owners manual.

Lights should be checked and any burnt out bulbs replaced. Themajority of our driving between November and March is duringnear dark conditions. If you notice your lights are not pointing2-3 car lengths ahead of you or the beam appears to head offin another direction you should have the lights checked foralignment.

• Have the alternator and battery checked to ensure that you donot have aweak or failingbetteringand that thealternatoris chargingproperly.

Car Care

A sluggish car couldmean any number of things,each of which could beexpensive. But drivers oftenoverlook an inexpensivepart of the car’s mechan-ics that can be contributingto slower acceleration andover-consumption of fuel:the air filter.

A vehicle has air filtersand fuel filters that helpto remove impurities andpromote better engine per-formance. Over time, thesefilters can become cloggedwith grime and debris.

A clogged filter cannotthoroughly do its job andimpurities could be makingtheir way into the engineand other systems of thecar, compromising perfor-mance.

Experts say that thor-oughly maintaining airfilters is one of the single

most inexpensive and effec-tive ways to improve over-all vehicle performance.Changing a car’s filters on aregular basis can have a sig-nificant impact on enginelife.

Understanding how an airfilter works helps a personrealize why replacing themwhen clogged is essential.

A vehicle’s engine is alarge, gas-fired air pump.Air comes through the airintake and travels throughthe air filter. Gas is addedto the air and compressedin the cylinders. When theair-gas mixture is denseenough, the spark plugsfire to ignite the mixtureand power the car’s pistons.When all the pistons fire asthey should, the driveshaftturns and the car moves.

Because this processrequires a specific air and

gas ratio, the air filter isimportant. Dirty filters can“choke” the engine, pre-venting it from turning over.It can also decrease theefficiency of the vehicle,thereby decreasing fuel effi-ciency.

Many oil change shopswill offer to change anair filter at an additionalcharge. For vehicle ownerswho want to tackle the jobon their own, replacing anair filter is a relatively easyprocedure — one most do-it-yourselfers can handle.

The air filter is generallyhoused in a large, plasticblack box under the hood.The box cover is often heldin place with large metalclips or screws, so a screw-driver is essential.

Once the box is located,open it up to reveal the fil-ter. Inside the filter is often

white, bright yellow, orangeor red. Remove the grimyfilter and set aside. (Oldercars may have a doughnut-shaped air filter). Place thenew filter in the chamberand reseal the clips orscrews on the cover.

Depreciation is a majorfactor in buying and sellinga vehicle.

The average auto canlose 30 per cent of its valueafter the first year. Afterthree years — the durationof most leases — the car’svalue may have decreasedby as much as 50 per cent.

Those looking to sell ortrade in will need to empha-size maintenance to getthe most for their vehicles.There are ways to reduce avehicle’s depreciation andimprove its resale value,whether selling to a privatebuyer or trading in to adealership:

1. Buy the “right” carin the first place. Somemodels and brands simplyhold their value better thanothers. Dealerships willpromote this fact whenattempting to sell a car.Choosing these types ofvehicles can mean a betterresale value later on.

2. Keep geography inmind. Don’t buy a vehiclethat goes against the normin a particular geographicarea. Otherwise, you couldbe left with a car with littleresale value.

3. Stick to standard

colours. Fad colours such aslime green or bright orangemay turn heads, but they’llbe harder to find buyers forlater on. This could reducethe asking price for thevehicle when it comes timeto sell.

4. Choose the rightupgrades. A fancy stereosystem or top-of-the-linenavigation system won’tnecessarily add value to thevehicle. However, leatherseats, a sunroof and anautomatic transmission arepopular among buyers.

5. Maintain the vehicle.Keep records of mainte-nance that show the carwas well cared for. Followmanufacturers’ maintenanceschedules for oil changesand tire rotation, amongother things.

6. Trade in like for like.A seller may get a bet-ter trade-in rate on a usedcar if he or she is buyingthe same make in the newvehicle.

Keep in mind that if abuyer is thinking aboutkeeping a car until it’sracked up tons of miles andis generally older than dust,depreciation values reallywon’t matter much.

Replace air filter for improvedvehicle performance

An improperly working air filter can contribute to slower acceleration and decreased fuel efficiency.

Ladner’s Sam Clare is ranked among theto 50 high school field lacrosse players inthe country according to a report on thewebsite Lacrosse — Inside the Game.

In the story Ranking Canada’s Up andComing High School Lacrosse Stars, writ-ten by J. P. Donville, Clare has been listed37th. Input for the report was sought fromleading coaches involved with the pro-vincial U16 and U19 field lacrosse teamsthroughout Canada, as well as top Canadianand US prep schools — including HillAcademy, Claremont, St Michaels, SalmonRiver, Vimy Ridge, Blue Ridge. Also askedfor feedback were coaches running elitetravel teams in Canada, including BurnabyMountain Selects, Elev8, Edge and the

Kanienkehaka Krunch.Clare has played both box and field

Lacrosse in Delta for over 10 years and haswon many MVP awards.

In the 2009 box season he was MVPin both the semi-final and final gamesof the Provincial Midget A2 box lacrossechampionships — winning the provincialgold medal. He was also a member of thefirst Team BC 2008 U16 Stars team thatsurprised many by winning silver at theNational Championships in Edmonton, nar-rowly losing to Ontario.

This year, he played box lacrosse for boththe Delta Islanders Intermediate A teamand the Junior “A” Islanders as a call-up.He currently plays field lacrosse for the

U19 Delta Footmen and is a member ofthe Burnaby Mountain Selects Senior Eliteteam that will be traveling to Baltimorein November to compete in the 2010 FallShootout.

Clare has played in the shadow of hisolder brother Nathan, who has manyaccolades of his own, having captainedTeam BC U19 Selects to a Canadian fieldlacrosse championship in 2008 and a tour-nament MVP award. He is presently in hisfourth and final year for the Simon FraserUniversity lacrosse team.

Sam is hoping to better his brother’sachievements by winning a place on the U19Team Canada roster in 2012 for the WorldChampionships to be played in Finland.Sam Clare

Sun Devils playing up to their hypeSenior girls field hockey team ranked second in the province after a strong showing at trio of top tournaments

The battle lines have beendrawn in the South DeltaSun Devils’ quest for theirfirst-ever provincial highschool girls’ field hockeychampionship.

The Sun Devils havemore than lived up to theirpre-season hype and arecoming off three impressivetournament showings tohold down the number tworanking in the province.

The busy stretch beganwith South Delta success-fully defending its title atthe John Ferreira MemorialTournament in Cowichan. Itwas then a third place finishat the UBC Tournament, fol-lowed a silver medal at lastweekend’s prestigous 73rdedition of the BridgmanCup in Victoria. Standingin the way of possibly threeconsecutive tournamenttriumphs were the CarsonGraham Eagles who alsohappen to be the province’stop ranked “AAA” team.

The North Shore schooledged the Devils 2-1 in thesemi-finals at UBC thenhanded them a 2-0 loss inthe Bridgman final lastSunday.

It’s a good bet both teams

will maintain their statusfor next month’s provincialtournament in Victoria.

“We expect to see themagain at some point downthe road,” said South Deltahead coach Neil McLennan.“They have a lot of speedand skill up front. They alsohave some junior nationalteam players like we do.The funny thing is I’m veryfamiliar with a number ofthem having coached them(at the provincial selectlevel).”

The difference in theBridgman gold medal gamewas the Eagles taking fulladvantage in a Sun Devilslapse to strike for pair offirst half goals, just fiveminutes apart. The localsrebounded with a much bet-ter second half, carryingthe majority of the play, butcouldn’t bury their chances.

They enjoyed an even big-ger edge in territorial playat UBC, including an 8-2advantage in penalty cornersbut, again, couldn’t capital-ize on enough chances.

“It’s definitely somethingwe will learn from,” addedMcLennan. “We have toplay a complete game, fromstart to finish, against ateam like them. It’s makingquicker decisions against

faster opponents.What isn’t lost on the

veteran coach is the calibreof his team’s play and how aprovincial title is definitelywithin its grasp.

“It’s fairly neat to havekids that are not only highcalibre athletes but qualityindividuals. It’s a very coolgroup that has a lot goingfor them (at other levels) butare excited to be here andplaying for each other.”

The Devils road to theBridgman final saw themtake care of some of theprovince’s perennial heavy-weights. They rolled pastMt. Doug, Lambrick Parkand 2009 provincial “AA”champion Collingwood(3-0) in pool play. Aftertrailing 2-1 at the half, theyexploded in the second halffor a 5-2 quarter-final winover Kelowna.

The semi-finals featureda match-up with last year’sprovincial silver medal-ist West Vancouver. Aftera sluggish start, the girlsfound their legs and rolledto a 2-0 win.

The Devils will soonwrap-up league play andare expected to breeze toanother Fraser Valley title.The provincials are slatedfor Nov. 10-12.

South Delta Sun Devils and Carson Graham Eagles looked to be headed on a collision course atnext month’s provincial field hockey championships in Victoria.

New goaltenderleads Ice Hawkspast North Delta

The Delta Ice Hawks gotan early return on a signifi-cant recent trade with thePort Moody Black Panthers.

Looking for more experi-ence in goal, the Ice Hawksacquired Nick Enegrenfrom the Port MoodyBlack Panthers. The pricewas steep as hard-hittingdefenceman Ryan Panchelliwent the other way whichat least eased the logjam onthe team’s blueline with thereturn of Mark Whiteleyfrom an injury.

Enegren, spent last sea-son in the B.C. HockeyLeague with the BurnabyExpress, making 27 starts.The 18-year-old New Westnative was outstandingin his Ice Hawks debutTuesday night, stopping 37shots in a 4-2 victory overthe North Delta Devils.

The result improvedDelta’s league best recordto 9-2-2.

The Devils dominatedthe first period, outshoot-ing the hosts 15-6, but thegame was tied at 1-1 thanksto Enegren’s solid play. The

Hawks then took controlwith second period goalsfrom Aaron Merrick andCody Fidgett.

A power play goal fromPIJHL leading scorerMichael Nardo made thingsinteresting in the final 20minutes, before Fidgett’ssecond of the night, into anempty net sealed the win.Liam Harding had the otherIce Hawks goal.

The win helped erasesome of the bitter tastefrom last Thursday’s 5-4 shootout loss to theRichmond Sockeyes.

The Hawks looked wellon their way to a big roadwin — leading 4-1 after 40minutes. However, playingtheir sixth game in ninenights seemed to finallycatch them and they saggedbadly in the third, surren-dering three unansweredgoals. Richmond cappedthe comeback by convert-ing on two of four shootoutattempts.

Delta returns to actionTuesday when Port Moodyvisits Ladner at 7:30 p.m.

Major Midget Canadianssplit pair in Prince George

Greater VancouverCanadians find themselvesatop the B.C. Major MidgetHockey League standingsafter splitting a pair ofgames in Prince George lastweekend.

The regional elite repteam managed a 5-2 winover the Cariboo Cougarslast Saturday before drop-ping a 6-4 decision 24hours later.

Nicolas Petan, who wasselected 16th overall bythe Portland Winterhawksin last spring’s WesternHockey League BantamDraft, led the way in gameone with a pair of goals.The Canadians erased a

2-1 Cariboo lead with fourunanswered goals, includingan insurance marker in thefinal minute.

Garrett Forster added agoal and two assists. JeremyGossard and Arwin Atalalso scored.

The series finale provedto be a wide-open affair asthe Cougars scored twice inthe third period to break a4-4 deadlock.

The Canadians will belooking to improve ontheir 6-2 record this week-end with a home seriesagainst the South IslandThunderbirds. Game twogoes at 11:30 a.m. onSunday in Ladner

Two goals by Miguel Curiel sealed the victory for theTsawwassen Royals over the Cliff Ave Cobras in VancouverMetro Soccer League second division action last Friday.

Royals coach Jim Norris had to juggle his line up due toinjuries and suspensions which lead to a cautious start forhis club. Alex Elsey and Barry Hartman made their seasondebuts with Elsey making several spectacular saves for theshutout. Hartman ran hard all night and was a constantthorn in the opposition’s side.

A scoreless opening halftime was probably fair on therun of play but the Royals came out flying in the final 45minutes and their quality showed.

A free kick from the wing by Andy Raines curled per-fectly onto the head of Curiel at the penalty spot to put theRoyals ahead . About 10 minutes later, dribbling the ballaway from goal, Curiel struck a beauty to secure the win.

Goaltender Doug Birks and the Delta Ice Hawks managed to keep this scoring chance out of the net but still couldn’t prevent theRichmond Sockeyes from roaring back for a 5-4 victory last week at Minoru Arena.

First and foremost Bill was a loving and proud family man, buthe was so much more. He was a loyal friend to many, a loverof all books and good conversation, a keen naturalist and anavid gardener. He could not pass a stream without pulling outhis fishing rod. He travelled the world with the RAF and inretirement with Joan at his side.

We would like to thank Dr. Sylvia Henderson, Dr. Brad Turnerand the nurses who became his ‘sweethearts’ as well as themany friends who have shown their concern and supportthrough his trials of the past few years.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Oct. 17 - Oct. 23★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Try to seal any deals,sign agreements,bid for opportunities,schedule/plana first meeting, or bump into that attractive stranger.Remain diplomatic, accent the needs and desires ofothers. Your secret, intimate side has been ‘awake’for some weeks now; a powerful sexual liaisoncould occur – be honest, ethical. Make sure bothparties are free to love. In practical or business links,profit awaits – and you have ‘the edge.’ Be social,flirty Sunday. Retreat, plan and deal with agenciesMonday/Tuesday: lucky results!t You shine, energyrises Wednesday onward: step lightly, carefully!Taurus April 20-May 20: Relationship, relocation,contract, negotiation and similar opportunitiescontinue. So far, every opportunity has containeda flaw, restriction or ‘attached burden.’ But fromOctober 28 onward (into early next January)opportunities will tend not to have a ‘catch.’Contemplate this before you jump on anything thisweek or early next. Waiting could be lucky! Usethis week to clean up chores. Sunday accents yourduties, prestige. Happiness, friends, optimism shineon you Monday/Tuesday. Rest, plan Wednesday-Friday. Your energy returns Saturday: so does freshair, new excitement!Gemini May 21-June 20: It’s your last week ofromance, creative urges and speculative success, sopursue these. Pleasure is necessary: it re-invigoratesus so we can face, succeed in, chores and drudgery(which will return this Saturday onward). Yes, your‘romantic month’ so far hasn’t been free of health andwork frustrations, and I can’t promise these are over.To some degree, it will be 2011 before your wishescan comettrue, or unalloyed happiness revisit. Beforethis ‘happiness period’ starts, there is one last duty,career effort or ‘status change’ you must engage in– these shine with luck Monday/Tuesday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: This week, add one lastbrick to your security edifice. E.g., make a retirementfund contribution, repair the house, adjust a child’sdirection, or simply get the winter larder stocked.(Apologies to southern hemi readers.) Next week,October’s slowly, quietly swelling romantic, creative,and pleasure trend will break into full bloom. Put yourhouse in order before then. Sunday’s for mysteries,intimacies, finances. Wisdom, empathy arriveMonday/Tuesday. Be ambitious Wednesday to Friday,but be careful also: opposition lurks. Happiness andsocial delights arrive Friday night, Saturday!Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis continues oncommunications, details, paperwork, errands, andcasual acquaintances. Perform necessary tasks herequickly, now – Saturday will bring a month of domesticinterests, and a sluggish ‘hibernation’ mood. You’vealready had a good taste of these domestic, home-oriented themes during September/October, but nextweek they will burgeon into full-fledged concerns,projects. Meanwhile, Sunday’s for relationships.Mysteries,successful intimate and financial actions fillMonday/Tuesday. Do your research: lucky discoveriesawait! Be wise Wednesday-Friday: dishonesty loses!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Continue to chase money,pay bills, search for viable smaller purchases.(Beware investments.) Enjoy and use the relativecalm of this week – Saturday will begin a month ofhectic (though happy) rushing. Tackle chores Sundaymorning. Exciting meetings, lucky relationships andvery valid opportunities arise Sunday night throughTuesday. Your investment, debt, intimate, sexual,lifestyle, health and subconscious zones cometo the fore Wednesday to Friday. Take care here.Impulse might reward you Wednesday, but it surewon’t Thursday. Wisdom, gentle, mental love, travelSaturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness remain high. Your money/earningsluck is also good, through early January. Plan ahead– from next week through November you cancapitalize on an old (or build a new) earnings project,especially if a partner is involved. (An old project/ideais better than a new.) Sunday morning’s for romanceor a creative, sports, speculative or pleasure venture.Tackle chores this night to Tuesday – luck’s high,you could expand your employment or find anotherway to increase your income. Relationships exciteyet have built-in obstacles Wednesday-Friday.Saturday’s sexy.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: It’s your last week ofweariness, Scorpio. Saturday will bring a month ofrisingenergy,charismaandeffectiveness.Meanwhile,rest deeply (especially Sunday) contemplate andplan your future actions. Wrap up your dealings withgovernment agencies or institutions. Expect creative,romantic or speculative luck Monday/Tuesday. Buttackle chores Wednesday to Friday – carefully, andloyally. (Harmless ‘time off’ or a sensual temptationcan dent your reputation.) Relationships, excitingmeetings arrive Friday night, Saturday, just as amonth of success and new starts arrives!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Enjoy this last weekof celebration, wish fulfillment (and new wishes)optimism, popularity, flirtations and social delights– Saturday will bring a month of quietude andretreat. Run errands Sunday morning. Luck aidsyour efforts on domestic, real estate, security and‘mother nature’ (e.g., gardening) fronts Monday/Tuesday. Family members say/do things that bringyou a glow of quiet joy. Chase romance, a gamble,sports or pleasure Wednesday to Friday – butcarefully: illusion’s on one side, hard reality on theother. Tackle important chores Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Remain ambitious.Work hard, show your talents to VIPs, push projectsahead. But sense a subtle change: future weeks willshunt your most effective efforts from straight-aheadwork, to the social level. Schmoozing, networking,will reward.That starts Saturday. Before then, Sundaymorning brings money luck (more valuably, moneydreams/ideas). Run errands, communicate, handledetails and paperwork Monday/Tuesday. Security,home, business foundations grab your attentionWednesday to Friday – proceed steadily, cautiously.Romance, pleasure surge Friday night, Saturday!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your sweet, understandingmood continues. You’re dreamy, inspired – andcharismatic – Sunday morning. Your money luckshines this night through Tuesday. Chase it, buy/sell,seek agreements, ask for a raise, etc.Affections might‘build’ with a business or career contact. The futuredraws you Wednesday to Friday – your popularity andoptimism soar! Seek entertainment, join a group, havefun. But take care, too: if you enjoy yourself too much,a boss or parent grows suspicious. A friend who flirtsmight have a cruel game in mind. Be a home-bodySaturday: rest, putter, repair.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is your last weekof mystery and secrecy, Pisces. Saturday will bring amonthofenlightenment,understandingandcompatibleminds. You’ll tell the world what you know. But first,this week: Research, rest, remain in the backgroundSunday.This night through Tuesday raises your energy,charisma and effectiveness – jump into a luckyinvestment, debt-reduction, health, lifestyle, research,or intimate project. (Intimate project? Pregnancy, forinstance.) Anything that will effect a beneficial (and thedeeper the better) change in your life. Money cautionWednesday-Friday! Errands Saturday.
