›INBRIEF Delta Police cruiser ends up in ditch
A Delta Police officer escaped injury after their cruiser ended up in a ditch along Ladner Trunk Rd. at 72nd St. Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 14). According to DPD spokesman Const. Ciaran Feenan, the cruiser was heading westbound on Ladner Trunk Rd. around 2:33 p.m. when it went off the road. It is unclear what caused the accident, but Feenan said the officer was responding to a robbery call in Tsawwassen and the cruiser had its lights and sirens activated. Traffic in the area was tied up in both directions along Ladner Trunk Rd. until the cruiser was removed about an hour and a half after the crash. Damage to the vehicle is yet to be determined. —Staff writer
Delta planner stable after cycling accident Benjamin "Monty" Robinson arrives at New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday (Feb. 13).

Trial begins for Mountie Monty Robinson faces obstruction of justice charge in relation to fatal crash CHRISTINE LYON REPORTER
T
he trial of the RCMP Corporal charged with obstructing justice in connection with a fatal Tsawwassen collision got underway this week. Benjamin "Monty" Robinson, 41, pleaded not guilty to the charge in New Westminster Supreme Court on Monday (Feb. 13), the first day of his trial. Robinson was off-duty when his Jeep struck and killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson at the corner of Gilchrist Dr. and 6th Ave. on Oct. 25, 2008. Robinson allegedly left the scene to walk his two children to their nearby home. Crown prosecutor Kris Pechet called a number of witnesses to the stand this week, including Delta Police Const. Sarah Swallow, who testified Robinson appeared impaired at the scene of the accident. "I noticed that he was pale, that he seemed to have a very dry mouth," she said. "I smelled alcohol about his person … his eyes were also slightly unfocused." She said she moved him to her police car to ask him questions. "I noticed that the odour of alcohol was still present. He appeared to be slurring slightly," Swallow said.

She asked him if he had had anything to drink that night. "Mr. Robinson replied that while he was at home, he had a drink to calm his nerves," Swallow said. She said she asked what he meant by drink and he replied two shots of vodka. Swallow said she told Robinson his symptoms of alcohol consumption were more established than she felt two shots of vodka in the last 10 minutes would have been. She said he told her he had been at a party earlier and had consumed "a couple of beers." Defense lawyer David Crossin applied to have Robinson's statements to Swallow excluded from the evidence, arguing that he was unlawfully detained. The very first witness called to testify was Debbie Seberry, who hosted the Halloween party on Wallace Ave. Robinson attended prior to the accident. Seberry said she recalled seeing Robinson with a drink during the evening, but could not remember what or how much he consumed. Another witness, Robert Very, was walking in the area around the time of the accident when he heard "a massive explosion" and turned to see the aftermath of a crash.
Very claims Robinson approached him at the scene with his driver's licence in hand. "This man was being insistent that he give me what he had in his hands," said Very. He said Robinson told him he wanted to walk his kids home and would come back. The Crown expected to call one witness this week who would testify that at a 2007 Christmas party Robinson said the best way to beat a drunk driving charge after an accident is to leave your drivers' licence at the scene, quickly down a few shots at home or a nearby bar, then return to the scene and say you took the shots to calm your nerves. According to Delta Police, Robinson's breath samples gave readings of .12 and .10 mgs of alcohol. Delta Police recommended charges of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. The Crown decided not to lay any driving-related charges because the available evidence did not establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt Robinson had a blood alcohol level over the legal limit at the time of the collision. The trial by judge is scheduled to last eight days. reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Delta's director of community planning and development remains in stable condition after an extremely serious cycling accident a earlier this month. Thomas Leathem, an avid cyclist, was out for a ride on Feb. 4, on 0 Avenue, near 216 Street, when it's believed the planner may have made a turn in front of an oncoming vehicle. Details won't be known for sure until a Langley RCMP investigation is complete. Leathem was struck hard, and suffered a broken left hand, fractured ribs and a punctured lung. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. Police do not expect that the driver of the car is at fault. Speed is also not believed to be a factor. While Leathem is recovering, Marcy Sangret will be filling in his position. —Kevin Diakiw

Delta Hospital fundraising walk discontinued Declining participation and financial support behind event which raised $150,000 over last three years “As steward of the gifts made to the hospital, we strive to come to decisions that are best for Delta Hospital,” said Teresa Cooper, Delta Hospital Foundation Executive Director. “Continuing with Walk for Health would cause us to direct staff and financial resources to an event that was not going to bring us fiscally responsible returns on that investment.”
After three years of raising funds for Delta Hospital, the Walk for Health event is being discontinued. According to officials from the Delta Hospital Foundation, the walk-a-thon's declining participation and financial support is the reason for the decision. Over its three-year term, the event had raised more than $150,000.
The event’s Presenting Sponsor, MK Delta Lands Group, will continue to support the hospital through the Foundation’s other events occurring this year—I Heart Delta Hospital, Delta Health Golf Classic and as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2012 Moonlight Gala. “The generosity of MK Delta Lands has been overwhelming since the event began, and I am pleased they will be continuing
to support our hospital through our other events," said Lois Wilkinson, Delta Hospital Foundation Board Chair. “On behalf of the Foundation, I want to thank everyone, from participants to volunteers to sponsors, for their commitment and involvement over the last three years. You helped introduce the hospital to a wonderful new audience.” —Staff writer
Threats don't discourage resident's anti-hate cause A South Delta resident who recently received a string of threats via Craigslist says the menacing posts have not discouraged him from continuing his crusade against Internet hate. Tsawwassen's Cran Campbell regularly monitors the "Rants and Raves" section of the popular online classifieds' Vancouver site and flags any comments he deems racist or hateful. About two weeks ago, Campbell started receiving threats from an anonymous user, or users, who went so far as to post his photograph and home address. "That concerned me because there's other people that live in this building as well," Campbell said. Though his name still pops up in the occasional
post, Campbell says it's been quite a few days since he's seen any threats directed at him. "I don't know the real reason why they stopped. Maybe they got a little worried, I don't know." Campbell contacted Delta Police about the messages. He said an officer attended his home early this week and is investigating the situation. As a result of Campbell's letter writing, the Canadian Human Rights Commission last month advised Craigslist that some of the posts in the "Rants and Raves" section of the Vancouver website may be in violation of the Canadian Human Rights Act. —Christine Lyon ®

Change in plans CAPTIN's new VP puts retirement on hold
M
arc Vallee had the cottage on Lake Erie renovated and ready. His boat was prepped. And he bought his wife, Debbie, her favourite sports car for those long anticipated cruises along the back roads. Their retirement plans were set. That's when the phone rang with an intriguing job offer thousands of kilometres away in Tilbury. Would he put the "golden years" on hold for a while, pack up his family and belongings and move from Ontario to become vice president of CAPTIN (Canadian Autoparts Toyota) for at least the next couple of years? The answer was "yes," and Vallee, his wife and 23-year-old son became Ladner residents late last year. Vallee, 57, who has worked for Toyota since the mid-1980s says his response was pretty much immediate after putting in such long service with the company— loyalty to make sure the job in Delta was done right kicked in. "I was going to retire. I had pushed my papers across the table and Mr. (Ray) Tanguay, our president and chairman of basically North America asked 'Would you help us out?'" Having never been to the West Coast before, Vallee says the experience has
been quite an adventure. It also allowed him to reunite with his sister who decades earlier had moved from Ontario to settle in North Vancouver. "I hadn't seen her in 17 years," he says. "And she was excited for us and it was good to see her and her family." Over the next two years Vallee, who says the main area he wants to improve at CAPTIN is the company's profitability. And he plans to use his experience as general manger of the body shop at TMMC (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc.), a 7,000-employee facility— Toyota's third biggest in terms of production—in Cambridge, Ontario where he worked on the Lexus product line. "We have a wheel plant that is almost right next to our (Toyota) production plant in Kentucky and their cost is pretty much nothing to ship the wheels there," Vallee says. "Here, our cost is about $6 to $7 a wheel to get it there. That's one of our challenges." Since the Tilbury plant turns out 6,000 to 7,000 wheels a day that cost can add up in a hurry. "We have to get our good wheel ratio up there, lower our cost to the customer and make the operation more viable," he said. —Philip Raphael

Everyone experiences stress. The word has become so overused that we are becoming immune to its meaning and effects. Research shows that we all need a low level of stress to keep alert, focused and productive. We also know that acute stresses come on quickly, but their effects fade away once the stress is over. However, most people are living in a state of chronic stress, where stress impacts negatively upon their day-to-day activities, relationships and health. How do you know when you are stressed? When your body, mind and spirit scream, “Enough!” through pain, suffering, anxiety, depression, broken relationships and illnesses, you are already there. If you choose to ignore your stress level, it could get so dangerously high that it kills you. Heart attacks, strokes, suicides, cancer, substance abuse and overdoses all have a stress-related component. A preventative approach to stress management pays huge dividends in terms of health, happiness, positive relationships, improved productivity, success and creativity. A regular schedule of holistic treatments helps to increase relaxation, decrease physical and emotional pain, improve immunity and sleep quality, and increase your ability to cope with life’s ups and downs. Make time for resetting the internal stress meter using holistic treatments such as Aromatherapy Massage, Seated Chair Massage, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, Plant Spirit Medicine, Reflexology, Indian Head Massage or Colour/Sound Therapy. We are committed to helping you feel relaxed and staying well. Call Natural Comfort Wellness Centre today at 604-943-7222 or www.naturalcomfort. ca and take charge of your stress.

LETTERS Equality for all? Adrian Dix (NDP Opposition Leader) needs to create a Ministry of Diversity, Equity, and Equality if he becomes Premier which the polls indicate. The previous NDP government introduced the Ministry of Women’s Equality, but equity issues need to be broadened to include persons with disabilities, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender), the poor, and women, among others. A government has to actively take steps to remove barriers and develop specialized policies for these groups otherwise their interests just get buried in the mountain of other work that needs to be accomplished. In Canada, employment equity is designed to “ensure that federally regulated employers provide equal opportunities of employment to four designated groups:
Keep Canada's conversations private Despite being very outspoken on the question of crime, Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems far from eager to discuss the legislation he’s promised to pass within 100 days of taking office— legislation that will allow online spying without a warrant.

Four of B.C.'s former attorneys-general—NDP A-Gs Colin Gabelmann, Ujjal Dosanjh and Graeme Bowbrick and B.C. Liberal Geoff Plant—have added their names to a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Opposition Leader Adrian Dix calling for the regulation and taxation of cannabis to combat organized crime. They're the latest high-profile additions to the Stop the Violence B.C. coalition campaign for pot decriminalization.

women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities,” as defined by the Canadian Human Rights Commission website. Argument against: • Employment equity takes jobs away from Caucasian people. • If minorities can't get a job, they should relocate. • The best qualified person should get the job. • It should be up to the business owner whom he or she wants to hire. • Employment equity creates inequality, because it sets up a separate, inferior, hiring system for minorities. • Employment equity has been a failure. Even the government cannot reach its employmentequity targets. Argument for: • As long as there is inequality in society, we need employment equity to hire underrepresented applicants. • The workforce should be rep-
resentative of the population. • Minorities are starting to make up a huge percentage of college and university graduates, but they are discriminated against when they apply for jobs. • A UBC study reported that people with English-sounding names were 40 per cent more likely to be called for job interviews than those with Chinese, Indian or Pakistani names with identical resumes as reported by CBC News in May 2009. • The establishment in this country is still dominated by Caucasian males, especially among the political and economic elite. Women and minorities face an uphill battle trying to succeed in such an environment. Employment equity recognizes that some people are born with advantages in society, while others are discriminated against and experience barriers.
I personally do not use threeway calling. Under this new legislation I will be "allowing" by loss of right to my personal privacy, government, law enforcement, black ops, etc. to listen in on my communications. If "they" have nothing of value to add to my conversations I have to wonder the reasoning behind being a part of the conversation. These could only be dark reasons. Usually people who
e a v e s d ro p o n o t h e r s h a v e agendas that involve a destructive or tortious purpose. In the case they are just lonely, they can call me anytime and I'll listen to what they have to say. We need to tell the Canadian Government to mind their own business. Allow me to pose this question: "What is their business?"

EDITORIAL
Health-care realities Hospitals in the Fraser Health region are chronically overcrowded. Patients regularly are parked in hallways and emergency wards— sometimes for days. Those uncomfortable—and sometimes risky— realities will be the focus of a panel of external experts who will examine hospital congestion and make recommendations. It isn’t likely this group will uncover major solutions that haven’t already been identified and implemented. A number of progressive initiatives to deal with hospital congestion have been recently undertaken by Fraser Health, including pay-forperformance funding to reward hospitals for increasing efficiency, and a push for patient home support rather than hospital stays. Yet, despite those efforts, emergency visits are up 7.3 per cent so far this year and patient days spent in hospitals in the region are up five per cent. Clearly, demand is outstripping facilities and resources. And the pressure is going to continue to rise, as Fraser Health estimates it will gain another 327,000 residents, or 20 per cent more, by 2020. Meanwhile, the population of seniors over age 65 is forecast to balloon 50 per cent by 2020 to more than 100,000. The “quick” solution is to build more hospital capacity. However, that requires vast sums of money – from a cash-strapped government already running deficit budgets and facing increasing debt, in a less than dynamic economic climate. The armchair quarterbacks will lob off criticisms anchored in hindsight, and vague “stop wasting money” bromides, which of course don’t address the specifics, nor the billions of dollars required for expanded hospital infrastructure, and the professionals required to staff it. Make no mistake, hospital overcrowding is only one aspect of B.C’s overall health care challenge, which currently gobbles $18 billion, or more than 40 per cent of the entire provincial budget. As this new panel of experts will confirm, there are no easy answers to the present model of health care delivery, which increasingly appears to be unsustainable. It’s time to get real with a national step toward expanded forms of fee-for-service. —Abbotsford News

SDSS comes alive with the Sound of Music
Come Play with us
Kenzie Peters takes on lead role of Maria in classic musical When Kenzie Peters re-watched the classic 1965 movie The Sound of Music with her family this Christmas—an annual holiday tradition in their household—she could relate to the leading lady as she never had before. Peters, a Grade 12 student at South Delta Secondary School in Tsawwassen, is taking on the role of Maria in her school's stage production of the hit musical, which runs Feb. 21 to 25 at the Equinox Theatre. "It's daunting because everyone knows Julie Andrews," Peters said during a recent after-school rehearsal break. "But it's definitely an honour." The Sound of Music is based on the book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse and features the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Peters is still conquering the challenge of running and singing simultaneously, but says she is

Jane Meadows' recipe for jungle cookies is crammed full of healthy organic nuts, seeds and chocolate chips which are designed to keep the hunger pains at bay and give you a healthy boost at the same time. Philip Raphael photo
Busy work schedules often call for a snack that is not only filling, but good for you. For Ladner realtor Jane Meadows, that means breaking out her recipe for jungle cookies which she calls a veritable meal in one hand. "I have to admit I pirated this recipe, but I've come up with my own take on it," says Meadows as she serves up a plate full of the deep brown gems. "It's like a full meal and honestly if you eat
a full one it can be too much. It's kinda nice to help you get through the day or have in your car because as realtors we drive around a lot." Filling, yes. Now, on the good-foryou side, the jungle cookies incorporate ingredients such as chia seeds which are touted as the richest nonmarine whole food source of Omega-3 and dietary fiber. —Philip Raphael
Jungle cookies INGREDIENTS 2 ¼ cups quick cooking oats 2 cups spelt flour 1 cup sunflower seeds ¾ cup + 2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds ½ cup chia seeds or shredded coconut (unsweetened) ¼ cup flax seeds
¼ cup agave nectar 4 tbsp. ground cinnamon 2 ¼ tsp. sea salt 1 ¾ cups dark chocolate chips 1 ¼ cups raisins ¼ cup water ¼ cup blackstrap molasses ¾ cup grape seed oil 1 cup soy milk
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking trays with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, everything from oats to raisins. In a separate large bowl, combine wet ingredients, everything from water to soy milk. Add wet ingredients to dry
ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Portion cookie dough using a cup measure (I use an ice cream scoop with lever) and place onto lined baking tray. Gently flatten cookies before baking. Bake for 24 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 24 cookies.

Scouting keeps old fashioned skills in vogue Tsawwassen group to celebrate Scout-Guide week with special dinner on Feb. 20
I
n today's world where a myriad of interests—from sports to the hightech games—vie for the attention of youth, one activity proudly marches onwards. Scouting remains an option for many youngsters, including those in South Delta who will be celebrating ScoutGuide week with a special dinner event Feb. 20 at South Delta Secondary. "I think the primary thing that keeps Scouting popular is the emphasis on and focus on outdoor activities," said Brian Martin, Group Commissioner, 3rd Boundary Bay. "There is so much out there now from organized sports and kids spending time on the Internet and that sort of thing. We're kind of an old fashioned group in the sense that we are out in the woods, parks and on the water teaching old fashioned skills and giving kids experiences they wouldn't necessarily get any other way." Among those activities with the Tsawwassen group is a sailing program, four season camping—the latest was on a snowy Seymour Mountain— and Cub skills days in local parks where older youth put on demonstrations for the younger members. Over in Ladner, Grant Edwards,
Group Commissioner for 1st Kirkland Ladner Scouts, said his view on Scouting's enduring appeal rests with the nature of the organization. "It's a less competitive environment and more cooperative one, than say sports," Edwards said. And that allows youngsters to participate in activities at their own pace. While the numbers in Tsawwassen show a slight decline in members, Martin said that has more to do with an area's demographics than the appeal of the group and their activities. "The population in Tsawwassen, for example, just has fewer young people and the population generally is getting older. That's played on us," he said. But Scouting tends to go where young people are. In Ladner last year, a 30 per cent increase in numbers was owed to a commitment to raise the group's profile in the community. "We had people saying to us when we were at public events like the May Days parade, 'Hey Scouts, you guys are still around?'" Edwards said the exposure paid dividends. "We had people asking us for our flyers."
A chilly night camping on a snow capped Seymour Mountain was one of the recent activities for the 3rd Boundary Bay group. Contributed photo

Engaging and empowering young women On World Thinking Day, Girl Guides and Scouts show appreciation for one another
E
ach year on Feb. 22, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts celebrate World Thinking Day. Feb. 22 is the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Scout Movement, and his wife Olave, who served as World Chief Guide. On this special day, Girl Guides and Girl Scouts show their appreciation and friendship to their Guiding and Scouting sisters around the world with warm wishes and voluntary contributions to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) to support the movement in other countries With 10 million members around the world, WAGGGS works with nongovernmental organizations and United Nations programs and agencies as a global voice for girls and women in areas such as health, the environment and education. It also promotes peace and understanding between nations by developing international and intercultural events, and by hosting girls from Canada and around the world at its four world centres in England, India, Mexico and Switzerland. Like Girl Guides of Canada, WAGGGS aims to engage and empower
young women so that they can make a difference in their communities. WAGGGS offers projects and programs at an international level that enable Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to be responsible world citizens through teamwork, service and action in the community. South Delta's Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders have all contributed to make our community a better place to live. Through service and action in our community these young girls and women have helped with street cleanups, fundraising for WAGGS and more. Guiding is an accepting environment. The programs and activities are exciting, and offer girls the chance to discover new interests and learn valuable leadership skills with friends. Guiding gives girls the tools and resources they need to achieve greatness. Additionally, guiding is a chance to become part of your community by helping girls to develop their potential. It’s a place for personal growth, mentoring and travel opportunities. For meeting times contact ladnergirlguides@gmail.com or tsawgirlguide@gmail.com

Hollywood South
One of three new Delta school academies to house acting and production talent under one roof PHILIP RAPHAEL EDITOR
S
outh Delta Secondary's drama teacher, Paige Hansen, has made a mental note to keep the end of February free for at least the foreseeable, short-term future. That's traditionally red carpet time at the annual Academy Awards show in Los Angeles. And judging by the vast number of her students who over the past two years have promised to invite her to attend the Oscars with them—if they get nominated—chances are she might just be busy some day when the famous, gold statuettes are handed out. "I get it in writing all the time, you know. 'I promise to take Mrs. Hansen to the Oscars,'" Hansen said laughing. "I tell them that they should realize I will keep those (written) promises." Possibly improving the odds of making it to "Tinsel Town" for the big show was Tuesday night's (Feb. 14) decision by Delta school trustees to add a TV and Film Production Academy—one of three new ones getting approval—to the district's already long list of specialty programs. The other two, Lacrosse and the environmentally focused Sustainable Earth, bring Delta's total of academies to 11—the most of any school district in B.C. Already in place are academies for baseball, two for ice hockey, film acting, golf, softball, soccer, and dance. Learning side by side Plans are to combine the Film Acting Academy at SDSS—which for the past two years has been run out of the Equinox Theatre at SDSS—with the new TV and Film Production Academy under one roof. Delta Manor Education Centre in Ladner is where Hansen would like to develop a "studio" setting where both streams of talent—those in front of and behind the camera—can collaborate and create a virtual "Hollywood South." "We felt like to do this right we needed to move out of the (SDSS) theatre," Hansen said. "I really wanted the kids to step into a space—especially when we added on the film production academy—that was legit and had everything we needed, from lights to a sound
booth." Essentially, Hansen wanted a departure from the theatre environment at SDSS that meant sharing time with a number of other demands. Then there is also the benefit of overlapping talent. "I want the two programs to run together so the kids who are making movies will be able to go and work with the kids who are interested in being in movies," Hansen said. Current Film Acting Academy student Kenzie Peters said the new arrangement should be "awesome." Developing a sense of community "It's going to help the academy come together as a community and set the students apart from the school, so that after biology or math we can come here and really focus in on acting and performing," she said. Fellow academy student Jordan Letawsky said the studio concept being envisioned will give students a sense of place. "The hockey academy has the rink they get to go to, and that's their place. And the Sustainable Earth Academy will have the Earthwise Garden," he said. "So, when we have this, it will mean film, rather than a theatre." Former hockey academy student who switched over to film acting, Trevor Feehan, said placing film acting and production in one place will create a "huge advantage." "It can be a real studio setting and the more real world experience students can get the better they can be adjusted when they go out, start auditioning and getting roles." The two academies are expected to occupy four to five rooms in the Delta Manor building which was closed several years ago due to dwindling elementary school enrolment in the catchment area. More space may be required as the academy grows and increases its scope. "Eventually, we're looking at green screens and you need a place when you're editing to have all your computers," Hansen said. Final approval for that is pending further study by district staff. Preparing for the working world With British Columbia enjoying a robust film and TV production industry—according
SDSS drama teacher Paige Hansen and some of her students look over a project in what is hoped to be dedicated studio space at Delta Manor Education Centre that in September would house two school academies—TV and Film Acting, and TV and Film Production. Rob Newell photo to a report by the Canadian Media Production Association the volume of production rose by 20.8 per cent in 2011 to $1.71 billion—the current economic climate appears favourable to launch the new academy. The report goes on to state that in B.C. the industry provided 15,600 full-time jobs. And training grounds such as the one being created in Delta could end up being responsible for providing some of that talent. "A student could go on and perhaps work in the industry, but over and above that, they will learn how to create films and put down their stories in a day an age when this type of technology is so prevalent," said Hansen. "This is how our world works now—through film and visuals." "And if they do end up getting into the film business they'll know the process on a micro level and understand what's involved, mostly because the people they will have been working with do this for a living." Among those playing a role is Ladner actor Richard Cox who will work with students in both academies, teaching acting and script writing. Sandra Almond, a visual effects producer who lives in Point Roberts and worked on the Will Smith sci-fi film I Robot that was shot in Vancouver is another contributor. "These people are incredibly generous and more than happy to come out and I guess give back because they know what it's like when they started out to have a passion for this and no experience," Hansen said. Retaining students In a district that has suffered chronic enrolment declines over the past few decades, Delta's academy system was developed as a means of offering specially focused avenues of study and skills development which could also help retain Delta students, and even attract PANTONE 137 U

some from outside the school district. In 1980, Delta had a high of 18,763 students. The most recent figures for this school year put the total at 15,558. And that total is projected to slide even further in the coming years before bottoming out. With per-pupil funding from the province for 2011-12 an estimated $8,357, even a slight decrease in student numbers can add up to a substantial loss of funding, so retention can help make a difference. Currently, the seven existing academies have around 230 students enrolled, said Teresa Phillips, District Vice Principal of Academy Programs. Sixteen are international students. And a handful are from out of the district. Each of the three new academies has the capacity to host up to 25 students and expectations are all of the spaces will be filled, Phillips said. To pay for any extra academy specific costs, students are charged a fee of between $150 to $250 a month, depending on the academy. Away from the financial figures, Hansen said one of the big benefits of the overall academy program is the opportunity to offer a finely focused learning environment that can help students determine if their particular path is one they truly want to follow. Hansen had one academy student tell her near the end of the term she wasn't sure if film acting was right for her. Hansen's reaction was, "That's fantastic. You'll never get to 30 and say maybe I should have tried acting," she said. "And there's nothing wrong with that. That's what this (academy system) should also be about—really removing the idea, with the film acting especially, the glamour of being famous and looking at the hard work that goes into acting. And if you're not prepared to dedicate your whole self to the process, you won't make it." editor@southdeltaleader.com

Sockeyes play heart-breakers Visitors down Ice Hawks 3-2 in final meeting of the season The visiting Richmond Sockeyes played heart-breakers on Valentine's Day, downing the Delta Ice Hawks 3-1 at Ladner Arena Tuesday night (Feb. 14). The loss dropped the 'Hawks two points further behind the PIJHL leading Sockeyes who have 70 points after 41 games (35 wins, six losses). The Ice Hawks have fashioned a respectable record, racking up 59 points over 40 games (28 wins, nine losses, two overtime defeats and one tie). That total puts them
in second place in both the Tom Shaw conference and the league overall. This weekend the 'Hawks have a chance to try and gain some ground on Richmond with a pair of games. On Saturday they travel to North Delta to play the Devils at Sungod Arena. Then on Sunday they play a makeup game at Ladner Arena against the Abbotsford Pilots. That game was originally slated for Jan. 17 but heavy snowfall prevented the Pilots from mak-
ing the trip to South Delta. Game time is Sunday at 8 p.m. Then, next Tuesday (Feb. 21) the 'Hawks close out their regular season home schedule when they host the Grandview Steelers. The puck drop for that game is the usual 7:30 p.m. And on Feb. 24, the final game of the regular season is set for MSA Arena where they again meet up with the Abbotsford Pilots. Dates have not been set for post season play.

Care comes first
PART 2 IN A 3 PART SERIES
Frank Tarling recounts the top level treatment he received after suffering a heart attack
The following is a letter from a Delta Hospital patient. Between now and Feb. 29 the Delta Hospital Foundation will collect stories about why people from the community love their hospital. And MK Delta Lands Group will donate $100 for each one received. If you don't have time to write a story, visit Delta Hospital Foundation on Facebook or Twitter and follow them, leave a comment, "like" someone else's, or tweet, and MK Delta Lands Group will donate $5. Nineteen years ago, Feb. 9, 1993 to be exact, was when I first had contact with the Delta Hospital and learned why “I Heart Delta Hospital.” I was at work in the Marpole area and felt unwell with chest pains which I attributed to a severe cough and medication I was taking for it. I asked Kevin, a newly arrived co-worker from Hines Creek, to drive me home to Tsawwassen. At the south end of the Oak Street Bridge I felt pain in my left arm
and told Kevin to take me to the Richmond Hospital. Kevin being new to the Lower Mainland did not know where Richmond Hospital was. By this time we were well on our way on Highway 99, so I asked him if he knew where the Delta Hospital was located. He didn’t! So, I asked him if he knew where McDonald's was in Ladner and he said “yes,” and so I told him that the Hospital was very close to McDonald's. We arrived at the emergency ward and I was able to walk in and sit down. A doctor asked me what was my problem and I told him of having pain in my chest and left arm. He asked if I could make it to a nearby bed and as soon as I laid down there were four or five nurses and doctors examining me. Dr. Jaffer, one of the doctors, explained I was having a heart attack and how they were going to treat me. They injected a drug called Streptokinase, sort of “draino” for the arteries and then I was sent to the Intensive Care Unit.
Yes, the Delta Hospital had such a ward at that time. My wife insisted to my doctor Dale Magnuson I should be sent to the best hospital to receive treatment. He told her I was already in the best hospital and would receive better care than I would get any place else. After recuperating for four months, I was able to go back to work only to have to return to Delta Hospital after one week as I was again having chest pains. Upon arrival at the emergency ward, I was again treated as if I were having another heart attack by a handful of nurses and doctors. Fortunately, it wasn’t a heart attack, only angina. Nineteen years later my heart is fine and I am able to be physically active (golf, swimming and skiing) and can only say that thanks to the Delta Hospital medical staff I was able to survive my heart attack. That is why “I heart Delta Hospital.” Frank Tarling Delta, BC
KATHY HASLETT: DELTA HOSPITAL CARDIOLOGY Having worked in the hospital system and at various sites, for more years than I want to admit, I can honestly say that Delta Hospital has been the nicest place to continue my working career. The generous community support of “our” hospital is second to none, and I can’t thank everyone enough for making it a fantastic place to work. From the medical staff, foundation and auxiliary members, and all the extras who make Delta Hospital the wonderful place it is, we should be proud that we make our patients feel they aren’t just a number. Many patients comment on how pleasant and helpful everyone is. What a legacy to continue with! I am a proud member of such an elite group!

CATHY WILKINS: LPN, DELTA HOSPITAL I came back to B.C. in 1990 after being in Saskatchewan for 10 years. I had worked in two different community hospitals there, so to come back and work in a big hospital was a bit daunting to say the least. We were staying in Richmond when we first arrived here and I was looking for a job. My sister in-law (who was a nurse at VGH) suggested I apply at Delta Hospital which was a 65 bed (at that time) hospital and a little more like what I was used to. I didn't even know there was hospital in Ladner. After some searching, I found it and applied for a position. The head nurse called me the very next day for an interview. It was fate. I fortunately got the job and I'm still here. I love this hospital. It's like the little engine that could. We've been through so many ups and downs and scary times and changes and we have prevailed through all of them. This little hospital is a jewel. There is something truly special about this place and I believe it is because of the unique community in which it is situated. I looked after Lila Massey before she passed away and right up until the end, she had this fierce determination that had prevailed through the planning and building of this facility. She left a legacy of strength and pride and love for this magical place which I believe lives on through many of us that work here and live in this community. I'm proud to say I work at this hospital, and can't imagine working anywhere else. I have had so many patients go to other hospitals for different reasons and they always come back here and breathe a sigh of relief and say, "I'm so glad I'm back here in Delta Hospital, this is home!"

Delta Chamber to employ new strategy to better serve members Help tailored to Delta's unique communities part of shift PHILIP RAPHAEL EDITOR
Scan the business landscape of Delta and you will find a rich variety of enterprises encountering unique challenges and goals. And for a chamber of commerce to meet the needs of its membership, it requires a different strategy to keep in step with the times. Delta Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Peter Roaf says the traditional "one size fits all" approach is not effective in Delta. That's why during Chamber Week (Feb. 20-24) and leading up to the chamber's AGM on March 14, a new structure and way of reaching out to its members is being unveiled. "When you look at Delta and the area the chamber covers you have very distinct communities each with their own requirements," said Roaf, adding there are six which can be identified. Included in that are Delta's three town sites—Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. Add the two major industrial areas of Tilbury and Annacis Island. Then include the long-standing farming community to round out the half dozen.

From P17 unlikely to be immediate, "But we will be working hard towards that." Tait said the new approach is unique to Delta. "What I always like to point out, and in brackets lament, is the fact we're all those different communities, we're divided by highways, we're in two different federal and provincial ridings, and we're in two different phone books, and we don't have a common newspaper among us. So, with that, there's no homogenous, cookiecutter approach." And how is the membership expected to react with the innovative approach? "Well, the minute you get closer to your membership and potential membership, there's a greater degree of communication
and a greater degree of openness, sharing, and connecting directly with the chamber board members that are resident in each of those communities." One other area where the Delta Chamber of Commerce is planning to serve its membership is with the emergence of the Tsawwassen First Nation's commercial enterprises—namely a pair of shopping centres that when built out are expected to cover 1.8 million-square-feet on TFN land. Roaf said there has been concern in the business community about the potential effect that may have on existing businesses in Delta, so the chamber will be examining ways and opportunities they can benefit from the coming development. "We want to help our member-
ship take advantage of the growth at TFN and explore opportunities for the future," Roaf said. Roaf added he is optimistic the chamber's membership will embrace the new approaches as Delta's business community works towards a prosperous future. The Delta Chamber of Commerce AGM is March 14 at the Delta Town and Country Inn (6005 Highway 17). Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. Lunch and the meeting commences at 12 p.m. The event includes business networking opportunities, a "state of the chamber" address, and a forum for members' issues. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson is also scheduled to make a brief address.

Many things to think about when buying a home
Simpson offers tips for new home buyers So you want to buy a home, you have a nice down payment saved up and you’re rearing to go. But are you ready? The number-one thing you need to do, according to Peter Simpson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, is get pre-approved for a mortgage. He says this step will virtually guarantee your price point, and it’ll make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew in terms of monthly payments. “When the offer goes in, you’ve already done the work,” he says. “It saves time and heartache: you won’t get disappointed by missing out on a house that you love.” Do you really need that four-bedroom townhome? Simpson says most couples just starting may be better off with a two-
bedroom, two-bathroom condo, which will allow for an addition to the family without destroying your budget. Above all, Simpson says home buyers need to separate their needs from their wants before hitting the market. Finally, you’re going to want to know what the neighbourhood is like. Simpson says buyers need to do some research into transit, schools and future development plans. Will that green space be turned into a high-rise or more townhomes? Commuters will want to know how long it takes to get to work, so the best way to find out is to give it a shot. Make sure you do it during rush hour. “People say ‘It’s not that far,’” Simpson says. “But people are typically looking at a house on a Sunday afternoon.”
‘Your friendly neighbourhood builder’
Kanaka Creek the first development from Bluetree Homes by Kerry Vital
Buying a new home can be stressful, but working with a builder with a great reputation and decades of background in creating new communities will go a long way to giving you peace of mind and a fantastic buying experience. It was with that thought in mind that ParkLane Homes introduces their newest development company, Bluetree Homes. Owned by ParkLane’s current Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is priding itself on its friendly approach to home building. As a member of the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association and the Canadian Homebuilders’ Association, the entire company is devoted to setting the bar high with the quality of their construction and innovation in home and community design. “Bluetree is building on ParkLane Homes’ stellar 30-year reputation to focus on high-quality homes of all types – apartments, townhomes and single-family homes – throughout Metro Vancouver,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing at Bluetree and ParkLane. “ParkLane will continue to do what it does best: deliver large master-planned communities like the 130-acre River District located in southeast Vancouver.”
“
As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara.
Bluetree is currently developing communities in five neighbourhoods throughout the Lower Mainland, including Maple Ridge, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Vancouver. “Bluetree looks for established neighbourhoods which are close to existing amenities like schools, shopping, parks and transit,” Kasahara says. “This combination of location and home features offer its residents a great quality of life and enduring
value through smart design, sound construction and customer service.” Its first community, “Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek” in Maple Ridge, is selling now. The 51 three- and four-bedroom townhomes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 1,350 to 2,180 square feet. One amazing feature of Kanaka Creek is the Maple Ridge location. continued on continued onpage page22 3
ParkLane has built more than 6,000 homes in over 100 communities across Metro Vancouver, and has been recognized with over 300 provincial and national awards for building excellence. In 2010, they were awarded the Grand SAM Award by the CHBA, and were nominated again in 2011 (the awards will be given out next month.) The Grand SAM recognizes the top builder in Canada for excellence in both building and marketing new homes.

Surrounded by the namesake creek and parkland, the great outdoors is literally just outside your front door. A children’s playground is right in the neighbourhood, so if your little ones need to let off some steam, you’re already in the perfect spot. Even the homes themselves have outdoor options, with private decks and patios for entertaining or a quiet evening in. “Due to its hillside location, many of the homes offer panoramic views of parkland, Kanaka Creek, and even Mount Baker,” Kasahara says. Those stunning views are just one piece in the home puzzle. The interiors are built in an open-plan layout, with nine-foot ceilings on the first floor and large kitchen spaces. Bluetree has included convenient workspaces, islands, breakfast bars and pantries, so you have several options for meals, entertaining or food preparation. The engineered stone countertops with a hand-set tile backsplash are perfectly complemented by the shakerstyle cabinets with their brushed nickel hardware. The double basin stainless-steel sink is a masterstroke of convenience, while the stainless-steel appliances lend the true air of a gourmet kitchen to this elegant space. When you’re in need of a little peace and quiet, the master ensuites include separate soaker tubs in some homes, and “his and hers” vanities so you can both get ready in the morning without elbowing your partner for mirror space. “The homes at Kanaka Creek have been designed by our award-winning team with ease and functionality in mind,” says Kashara. “Open floorplans make the main floor level feel spacious and connect living and dining rooms with large decks for seamless indooroutdoor living.” The location was chosen because of its proximity to every amenity a family could ever want, Kasahara says. There are several excellent schools nearby, as well as shopping, parks, restaurants and the West Coast Express commuter rail line. “Kanaka Creek is perfect for young families, first-time buyers and area locals looking to move into a home that better fits their needs,” he says. The grand opening of Kanaka Creek will take place on Saturday, Feb. 25, but some homes have already been snapped up. “Even before we officially launched for sales, visitors to our two decorated show homes have been wowed by the contemporary interior design details and high-quality finishes,” Kasahara says, adding “Buyers have told us that this community ‘sets the bar for new townhomes in Maple Ridge.’”
Future Bluetree communities will include Bishop Creek in Surrey, Mackin Park in Coquitlam, Citadel Heights in Port Coquitlam and Main Street in Vancouver. Integrity is big to the people at Bluetree, and research has shown that the reputation of a homebuilder is an important factor in the home-buying decision. This is particularly true with new homes because they are often sold before they are built, and potential buyers must rely on show homes, features lists and floorplans to make their decision. “As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says Kasahara. ParkLane is one of Greater Vancouver’s most respected builders, and is responsible for communities such as Heritage Woods in Port Moody and Bedford Landing in Fort Langley. Bluetree will continue this tradition with its own selection of neighbourhoods. “Bluetree’s slogan is ‘your friendly neighbourhood builder,’” says Kasahara. “This reflects our commitment to making the home-buying process easy and enjoyable; from the minute you walk into the Bluetree Store, it’s our goal to make the process relaxed and stress-free.” Homes at Kanaka Creek start at $299,900. For more information about Bluetree Homes and Kanaka Creek, check out www. bluetreehomes.ca or visit the Bluetree Store at 11176 Gilker Hill Road in Maple Ridge.

Potential buyers who have walked through the two fully furnished showhomes at Kanaka Creek have commented on the high-quality finishes and elegant interior design details, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree and ParkLane Yosh Kasahara says. It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with the three- and four-bedroom townhomes.

Ladner's Owen Best branches out Teen actor portrays a young Stephen Leacock in CBC production It's not often that Ladner's Owen Best has his entire extended family over to his parents' home to watch TV with him.

Best said. "Plus, this was my first big role being the lead, so it was a bit difficult, at first. But I had some great acting coaches and they helped me through it. And of course I also had some great influences on set."
