Freak horse accident leads to tragedy ❙ Staff writer

❙ On left: Delta emergency crews work to remove a horse from a Ladner ditch after it was spooked and threw rider Roseann Guerin, killing her. Below: Guerin on vacation. Photos: Shane MacKichan; Facebook

newsroom@southdeltaleader.com

A Ladner woman died in a tragic horse riding last Wednesday ( July 3) after she was thrown from her horse. Roseann May Guerin, 43, was riding with her 18-year-old daughter Megan Rogers around 8 p.m. in the 3,600-block of 34th Street when the mother’s horse was spooked by a dog—now believed to be the family’s dog. The horse began galloping away and jumped a ditch, throwing Guerin from the horse at which time she sustained head injuries. The daughter’s horse followed the first one and the teenager was also thrown off. Witnesses immediately began CPR on Guerin until rescue workers arrived to transport her by air ambulance to Vancouver General Hospital. She later succumbed to head injuries. The teen was taken to Delta Hospital where she was treated for scrapes to her face and bruises to her left leg. A farm tractor rescued one of the horses that had crashed through a fence and become stuck in a ditch.

Aside from her daughter, Guerin is survived by her husband of 11 years, Gary Abrams, and her sons Ryan, 19, and Justin, 21. A Musqueam First Nation member, Guerin worked for the First Nations Employment Society in Vancouver. A funeral service was held for her on Monday ( July 8) at Musqueam Gymnasium in Vancouver.

Chemicals, not oil, riskiest rail cargo on Metro trains Quebec disaster a wake-up call: Delta Mayor Lois Jackson ❙ Jeff Nagel reporter newsroom@southdeltaleader.com

Authorities are playing down concern over potential for a deadly rail disaster in the Lower Mainland after a runaway train laden with crude oil destroyed much of the Quebec town of Lac Megantic. Shipping oil by rail has been on the upswing as pressure grows to get landlocked Alberta oil out to global markets. Train loads of crude oil aren’t yet rolling through Metro Vancouver for export, but there’s growing speculation that could come, particularly if proposed new pipelines are rejected. (Small amounts of crude have come by truck or train to Chevron’s Burnaby refinery at times when it was unable to get enough supply from the over-subscribed Trans Mountain pipeline.)

But poisonous or explosive gases do roll on rail through heavily developed Metro neighbourhoods and those are the train cars that are of greatest concern to emergency responders if a train derails. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said one risky substance is propane, which is explosive and heavier than air, so it doesn’t readily dissipate. Other chemicals that move on rail in this region include chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, which spilled from CN Rail cars into the Cheakamus River in 2005, killing half a million fish. Rail disasters are a “low frequency, high risk” threat that emergency responders in the region prepare for, he said. “We haven’t taken it lightly,” Garis said. But he emphasized the rail industry’s safety record moving dangerous goods has steadily improved since a 1979 chlorine leak in Mississauga, Ontario forced the evacuation of 218,000 people. That incident triggered major

regulatory reforms, including beefedup tanker cars for hazardous goods. “The rail cars that carry commodities that pose risks are designed to roll over, they’re designed to crash into each other end-on-end, so even if they do derail, they’re designed to withstand the consequences of that,” Garis said. “The track record in recent years is extremely positive.” Garis also noted the volumes of such chemicals moving here are relatively small. Unlike derailments in rugged slideprone parts of B.C., Garis noted the Lower Mainland is mostly flat and trains move slowly so risks of an accident are reduced. North Vancouver energy consultant John Hunter said Lac Megantic underscores the fact that pipelines are safer than rail transport of oil. He said more should be done to protect area residents from a chemical or hydrocarbon spill from a train along CN line on the North Shore, in close proximity to residents. Hunter sug-

gests a siren to warn residents to take emergency action. “I think it’s highly unlikely we’ll ever have one, but I think we should have a notification system in case something goes wrong.” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the Quebec disaster is a “wake-up call” on rail safety and for the federal government to ensure there’s adequate regulation and enforcement. But she noted dangerous chemicals like propane and chlorine may be a greater threat when carried in heavy trucks on the roads with other traffic. “You have to look at the risks,” she said of hauling by rail. “It’s either that or put it on a truck.” Jackson recently came back from a fact-finding trip to Norway on that country’s approach to moving oil. While there are no plans yet in southern B.C. for an oil-on-rail export terminal, Jackson said she wants to be “wellversed” on that and related port issues. “We are a major port here in Deltaport, and from everything I can see, it is going to continue to grow.”

Hamilton tops council expenses Scott Hamilton claimed the largest expenses among members of Delta’s council in 2012, according to the annual council remuneration and expenses report released at the last council meeting. Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012, Hamilton claimed $9,434.66, more than secondplace spender Jeannie Kanakos, who claimed $8,951.32. The most frugal councillor was Robert Campbell, who at $4,214.84 claimed just eight per cent of the seven-member council’s $52,505.92 total. Mayor Lois Jackson expensed $6,610 for her role on council, and a further $1,578.65 for her role on the Delta Police Board. Council’s total remuneration in 2012 was $485,162.98 with a further $6,473.71 in benefits, which represents a 10.3 per cent increase from the previous year. That’s because last year council approved an 11.9 per cent increase to councillor pay—$49,294.44 from $44,048—while the mayor received a 6.3 per cent bump—$110,460.34 from $103,932. Council’s pay is based on a formula that compares their remuneration to those of four Metro Vancouver municipalities with similar populations— Coquitlam, Richmond, Township of Langley and the District of North Vancouver. Council’s car allowance also increased this year by $200 per month per council member, costing the Corporation $78,936 in total, or a 27 per cent increase. The rationale cited for this last year was to reflect the increasing cost of fuel, insurance and vehicle maintenance. Annual remuneration reports of council are a requirement under the Community Charter, which outlines what the mayor and each councillor earned in base pay, car allowance, benefits and total expenses related to their duties in office.

SDSS grad aims for world class music school ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

When 19-year-old Tsawwassen resident Mackenzie (Kenzie) Peters was a child she was put in piano lessons by her parents. But she hated it and decided to stop going. Considering she’s a piano teacher for children today, Peters confesses it’s an odd story. “When I got a little older and began to appreciate music a little more I sat down at the piano and played for hours and hours on end,” says Peters. That self-taught motivation inspired Peters to dedicate herself to a career in music. Over the years she has focused on learning and performing instruments, including the guitar, flute, ukulele, melodica, as well as singing and musical theatre. Peters says she likes musical theatre the most because it allows an audience to see the meaning behind the music, which on its own can sometimes be a bit ambiguous. Despite being just 19, Peters already has a lot of experience. Last year she performed the lead in the musical “Zana, don’t” at the Vancouver Fringe Festival as well as playing in an orchestra for a production at Langara College’s Studio 58. The 2012 South Delta Secondary graduate also played

Maria in the school’s production of The Sound Of Music and was a consistent honour roll student. In her graduating year she won the Delta School District arts scholarship in the “Voice your Vision” challenge. Peters wrote her own original song for the contest, a move which so impressed Kwantlen University that she was offered a scholarship to attend. But she won’t be going. Peters has her eye instead on the most prestigious music school in the world, the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which has had such Grammy Award-winning alumni as Diana Krall, Joey Kramer (Aerosmith), and Melissa Etheridge. “Berklee was always a dream school growing up and when I saw they were coming to Vancouver for auditions I decided to give it a shot,” says Peters. Without knowing exactly what to expect, she went to the Berklee audition and sang the classic Billy Joel piece “New York State of Mind.” Her performance was so impressive that the judges told her they liked her version better than Joel’s. “I didn’t know what to say after that,” says Peters, blushing. To her great delight, she was offered a $10,000 scholarship when she was accepted to Berklee a month later. Although Peters has been accepted to Berklee, the bat-

❙ Tsawwassen’s Kenzie Peters is determined to go to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston this September, but first she needs to raise the $64,000 annual tuition fees. Adrian MacNair photo

tle is far from over. One year’s tuition is $64,000, similar in price to Ivy League schools like Yale or Harvard. That puts the cost of her music education in the neighbourhood of a quarter million dollars. Peters recently hosted an outdoor summer concert

fundraiser at South Delta Baptist Church for her tuition, teaming up with local musicians such as Tracy Neff, Jacob Wolstencroft, Jordon Letawsky, and Quincy Chimich. She’s raised $35,000 to date with less than two months

before school starts. The good news is that she only has to pay half in the first semester, but will eventually need to come up with the additional $29,000. “There’s been a lot of sleepless nights,” admits Peters. Despite the challenge, she

says she has the full support of her friends and family, including her brother Taylor who participated in her recent fundraiser. Some of Kenzie Peters’ music, including her original songs, can be seen on YouTube.

Tsawwassen author dedicates book to sick child Michael Duncan will donate proceeds on behalf of child lost to leukemia ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

When long-time author and artist Michael Duncan first moved into his Tsawwassen apartment building he heard a little voice in the hall. Opening the door he found a happy, little boy who had just returned from receiving chemotherapy at the hospital. “He said, ‘Hi, my name is Brian.’ And I said, ‘Hi, my name is Michael. I think we’re going to be good friends.’” And every time he saw him in the hallway after that they

would have conversations on the way to the elevator. It didn’t take much to convince Duncan that little Brian was a brave little soul. At just three years old, he was fighting acute myeloid leukemia. AML is a cancer of the blood and develops in bone borrow, interfering with the production of normal blood cells. The survival rate for people under 20 years of age is 60 per cent for at least five years. Treatment began with chemotherapy immediately

but after two rounds Brian’s health didn’t improve. Duncan would visit Brian in hospital and said even at his tender age he shone with intelligence. He tells a story about the time Brian was in the hospital playing with an iPad and a nurse came up to ask if he would teach her how to use it. Brian reportedly said, “Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t think you’re smart enough,” and the room broke into laughter. Brian went through two more rounds of chemotherapy and even a stem cell transplant. The cancer seemed to be going into remission and soon Duncan was able to see his friend back in the corri-

dors of his apartment building. But it wasn’t to last. The cancer came back in late

2012. After a trip to Disneyland through the Children’s Wish Foundation in January, he was admitted to Canuck

Place palliative care and passed away on Feb. 21 at the age of four.

Otherwise known as “Guitar Marty,” Hatelid has been showing South Delta teens the rock n’ roll ropes for close to eight years at his annual Summer Rock Camp. In Hatelid’s Ladner music studio, groups of three to six kids at a time, ranging from nine to 17 years old, come to learn how to sing, strum, slap, and drum. It’s a real life School of Rock, and having played in bands for more than 30 years, Hatelid is uniquely qualified. Hatelid grew up in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and attended the University of Saskatchewan’s classical music program, albeit briefly. “The program was so square I couldn’t handle it,” he says. So he packed up headed west to Grant McEwan University’s jazz program in Edmonton. Hatelid then began touring

much of Western Canada with various cover bands in the late 1970s, but Vancouver’s burgeoning punk and new wave scene, with bands like Pointed Sticks and the Modernettes, drew him to the West Coast. He’s been here ever since, working in every aspect of the music business, from festival productions and live show management, to music equipment sales. But by 2005, Hatelid says he had had enough of the rat race and wanted to get back to his musical roots, and teach. “I’d always had students, so my wife said, why don’t you do this full-time?” he recalls. “We’d both be much happier.” Within two months, his classes were completely full. Video games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have inspired a whole new generation of kids to pick up guitars and fall in love with rock n’ roll, Hatelid says. The camp teaches them everything from technique, to ear training, to the dynamics of working in a group together.

“Even little things like understanding how to wrap your cables,” he says. Most of the graduates of Hatelid’s program continue on playing, something he says is gratifying to see. “A few of the guys even come down to the Legion to jam on Thursdays,” he says. For those that don’t continue on to rock stardom, Hatelid says they learn valuable social skills, as well as improved self confidence. His most recent crop of grads will be performing at the Ladner Community Centre on Nov. 3. In the meantime, Guitar Marty, himself, will be performing at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall as part of the Breezeway Music Series on August 3, along with Pat Gurr. Hatelid is expanding his program to include adults after a number of parents expressed interest in dusting off the guitar and kicking out the jams. “They can come down, work on some songs together and have an adult beverage,” he says. • For more info, visit guitarmarty.com

Wake-up call

mid the celebrations and fireworks Monday, Victoria suddenly found itself in the rarefied club of Canadian cities targeted for a high-profile terrorist attack. If the suspects had slipped under the radar and detonated pressure-cooker bombs outside the legislature during Canada Day celebrations, it could have been the worst terrorist attack in history on Canadian soil. Instead, the B.C. RCMP were able to announce two arrests – John Nuttall, a Surrey man (and former Victoria resident) with a significant criminal rap sheet, and Amanda Korody, his partner. RCMP assert both of these Canadian born-and-raised suspects were “self-radicalized” by al-Qaida influence. Nuttall has been in and out of Victoria’s courts regularly for assaults, robberies, mischief and possessing weapons. In media articles, he was described as a former drug addict and a violent enforcer when it came to collecting drug debts. He’s also described as a recent convert to Islam. Whether this pair tried to copycat the pressure-cooker Boston bombings, or another reason, the fact their alleged plot was identified, infiltrated and hijacked by RCMP agents is a testament to why Canada needs intelligence agencies. Organizations like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), which tipped off the provincial RCMP to the plot, and RCMP anti-terrorism departments, almost always operate behind the scenes to ferret out domestic terrorism. It’s hard to know how many credible terror plots have been halted in Canada. Beyond oil pipeline bombings in the past, police and intelligence agencies have quashed an alleged plot to blow up a Via passenger train between Toronto and New York by two foreign men who supposedly received guidance from al-Qaida agents; and the so-called “Toronto 18” (11 were convicted), a group of young Muslim men who plotted to blow up targets across southern Ontario with fertilizer bombs. The foiled Victoria bombing can be seen as a wake-up call to Canadians that terrorism is a reality in this country, and as analysts have predicted, attacks on civilians are not an “if ” but a “when.” This is also an opportunity for a national conversation on the bounds of domestic surveillance – what will people tolerate to ensure agencies have the resources to keep Canadians safe? – Black Press-

❙ Uncommon Sense

Employers should strive for ‘living wage’

ancity Credit Union, with more than 2,500 employees across 57 locations in B.C., turned heads in the business community a few weeks ago with the announcement it has reached its milestone as a “living wage employer.” The financial institution has committed to paying the hourly wage that people need to support their families based on the actual costs of living in a specific community. According to calculations made by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives on behalf of the Living Wage for Families Campaign, that wage in Metropolitan Vancouver is $19.62 per hour. A living wage is different from a minimum wage in that it commits to paying an employee a standard of income that enables a person to bear the cost of living. Conversely, the minimum wage is the absolute lowest amount that an

employer is allowed to pay an employee based on provincial law, regardless of the cost of living. A minimum wage is entirely oriented around the labour needs of the business community. Many companies survive on the cheapest possible labour pool of unskilled workers it can find. But the wage does nothing to address the larger picture of poverty, unemployment, crime, and social cohesion. A living wage, however, does just that. At the heart of the concept of paying people a wage based on the cost of living rather than the minimum market value of the labour, is the belief that society functions better as a whole. A reduction in poverty is better for the economy overall, reduces incidence of turnover and unemployment, which goes hand in hand with crime reduction and the sustaining of a middle and working class.

A purely free market economy would rapidly see the dissolution of a middle class, where people would be paid based not on what they bring to society as a whole, but their value only to the corporation. In economies where this has been tried, in tandem with little or no social security, the corresponding poverty and crime reduces the quality of life for every single person. Statistically, the lowest paid jobs have the highest turnover and attrition rates, which further harms economic growth. Paying a living wage gives employees an opportunity to stay at a job for longer, and even develop seniority and advance through the management hierarchy. The cost of lost productivity by hiring cheaply can sometimes be made up by raising wages. As the expression goes, you get what you pay for. And having happy, healthy, loyal employees might just be worth the investment.

Letters to the editor Congrats to Tour de Delta participants, volunteers, fans Congratulations to everyone involved with the Tour de Delta. With the new route going through the neighbourhoods of Tsawwassen, I believe that more locals took an interest in the race than ever before. The disruption to local traffic was minimal and very well handled. I am lucky enough to live on the new route so I had the race at my front door; how exciting. Our family walked down to Dennison Park to catch the second half of the men’s race. We are very impressed with all of the Rotary members, and the other volunteers who made this an inclusive community event. Especially, I would like to offer my congratulations to the amazing athletes who participated in the races. You inspire me! Kim Briscoe Delta

Oil by pipeline, or train? If the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline is delayed much longer, there is talk of them shipping the oil by train. Either way the oil will be transported from the headwaters of the Fraser River Estuary, starting at Mt. Robson, along side of the Fraser River to a location near it’s mouth and exported by huge tankers through the Gulf of Georgia and Juan De Fuca Straits. The new proposed pipeline would carry 890,000 barrels of oil per day, triple the 60-year-old existing pipeline’s capacity of 300,000 barrels. totalling some 1,190,000 barrels, all subject to an accidental spill or earthquake, on route or during export. A train would carry less but be subject to derailment, due to infrastructure failure. slides and earthquake. To bring this into perspective, let us compare this with the Exxon Valdez oil spill in

Prince William Sound, Alaska on 24, 1989, when some 750,000 barrels of crude oil spilled and covered some 1,300 miles of coastline and 11,000 square miles of ocean, killing thousands of sea otters, seals and seabirds. Twenty-one years later the area has not fully recovered and they estimate that 11 million gallons of crude oil still exists along their beaches and byways. Compare this with the fact that the Fraser River Watershed alone consists of some 84,942 sq. miles, with a river that is 854 miles long and has 43 tributaries leading into it, never mind the thousands of sq. miles of ocean and miles of coastline within the confines of the Gulf of Georgia and Juan De Fuca Straits. Why are we even considering either, knowing the devastation that would occur? Douglas Massey Delta

CORRECTION: The story, Huntington gives election date bill second attempt, in the July 5 edition of the South Delta Leader erroneously states, “Huntington reintroduced legislation Wednesday (July 3) that would move B.C.’s fixed election date to the fall so as to prevent future elections from being influenced by the budget process.” However, the story should have stated, “Huntington reintroduced legislation Wednesday (July 3) that would move B.C.’s fixed election date to the fall so as to prevent the budget process from being influenced by election cycle.” The South Delta Leader regrets the error.

Butterflies of summer H

ow long is it since you saw a butterfly? These emblems of summer are fast disappearing from the landscape. Pesticides have taken their toll and natural food plants are lost when wild habitat is replaced with urban subdivisions. Creating a butterfly garden will help restore these colourful pollinators to the landscape. An added bonus is that some of the flowers suited to butterflies also attract hummingbirds. To bring butterflies to a garden, there must be food plants for the larval, or caterpillar, stage of their life cycle, as well as nectar-rich flowers for the adults. Caterpillars are voracious but often picky eaters. Spring Azures relish ocean spray and spirea, while Mourning Cloaks need willows. Planting a patch of stinging nettles in a tub or out of the way corner of the garden could entice Red Admirals and Satyr Commas. Plants of the mustard and cabbage family attract Sara Orange Tip, Cabbage White (the commonest butterfly, yet non-native), and Mustard White. The caterpillar of our largest, most striking butterfly, the Western Tiger Swallowtail, feeds on poplar and willow leaves. Apple trees are a food source for the sphinx hawk moth. Perennial flowering plants that are rich in nectar will provide food for adult butterflies. Naturescape B.C. recommends lilac, mock orange,

phlox, mallow, pearly everlasting, chrysanthemum, stonecrop, zinnia, asters, and herbs, such as mint, rosemary and sage. The large, purple blossoms of the buddleia bush are a favourite for butterflies and hummingbirds. Other double-duty options are bee balm, elderberry, and columbine. The life cycle of butterflies is most remarkable, going from egg to caterpillar, to pupa, before metamorphosing into an adult. Eggs are often laid under leaves on the larval food plants, so the caterpillars can start munching as soon as they hatch. Caterpillars range in colour from pale green to brightly striped, and from smooth to spiky, depending on the species. Eventually they stop eating and turn into a pupa. This stage can look like a bird dropping, a bit of twig or even a shiny gold nugget. One morning, the pupa breaks open and a butterfly emerges. Slowly it spreads its damp and folded wings, drying them in the sun. This is the most amazing sight, seldom witnessed in our modern world. The perfect embodiment of summer then takes flight, bringing colour and beauty to the garden.

improve your mood with a trip to the ladner village market

ll you need to improve your mood you can find at the Ladner Village Market. I started contemplating this idea, and I remembered the Robert Fulghum poster, “All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” that decorated so many walls of dorm rooms at McGill. Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. So much of it was actually simple, true wisdom. Could I really suggest to my patients that they could help their mood, reduce anxiety and help prevent seasonal affective disorder if they did something as simple as visit the Ladner Village Market? Yes, absolutely! I see so many patients with mood issues. Anxiety which feels like an elephant periodically sits on your chest, seasonal affective disorder that can make even the bravest soul wish they could hibernate like a polar bear, depression that can make days drag on and bodies ache. I see mood disorders affecting young and old and they can be debilitating. I appreciate the help patients get from allopathic medications and counseling as needed, but lets look at some preventive measures. Last time I wrote about how so many patients complain of bloated, blues and bad digestion. As I mentioned, research shows that there is a link between your mood and digestion. The research is clear: Eat better, healthier and improve your mood. Eating a healthy diet can beautifully affect how we feel by actually changing our brain chemistry. But what does that actually mean. And how do I encourage patients to do

❙ Dr. Heli McPhie is a naturopathic doctor practicing at The Village Clinic in Tsawwassen. this. I have had patients who did not want to visit a naturopathic doctor because they were certain they would be put on a wheat-free, sugar-free, caffeine-free, alcohol-free, yeast-free, flavor-free diet. I assure you that does not need to be the case. And yes, a visit to a farm market can truly help you get started to improving your mood. The bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables is a great place to start. Fill your basket with at least five different colors of fruits, berries and vegetables. The mix of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals will fuel your body’s needs. Folate in dark leafy greens has been shown to help reduce depressive symptoms. Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar can also lower mood which is key in reducing anxiety and stabilizing mood. Blueberries are power

packs of fiber and have blood sugar benefits as well. Next grab a bag of mixed nuts and seeds. Two Brazil nuts a day help prevent selenium deficiencies which can also reduce mood. Furthermore, nuts are rich in one of my favourite minerals, magnesium. Magnesium plays a key role in converting sugar into energy. Better energy – better mood. Find some beautiful fish rich in omega three fats. Great for protecting against depression, keeping you heart healthy and your immune system balanced. Search for some lovely lean, organic meat rich in B12 to keep your nerves working well and promoting a healthy mood. I realize the word carb seems to be the new four letter word. However, our brain runs on glucose. Not every carb is created equal. So round out your basket with beautiful complex carbs. Whole grains, root vegetables, ancient grains… Finally, treat your basket. Dark chocolate with raspberries always hits the spot after dinner at our house. Now imagine if you rode your bike to the market and got some exercise and remembered to drink water on that blissful hot summer day. If you listened to some music and relaxed, or had a chat with friends you meet at the flower cart. Or even if you just enjoyed the beautiful art and atmosphere. Imagine how your mood would naturally improve, even for a little while. A simple trip to market can be a great start to preventing those wishes of becoming a polar bear come February. • Dr. Heli McPhie is a naturopathic doctor practicing at The Village Clinic in Tsawwassen.

Aesthetic medicine a safe, painless alternative to surgery For years those looking to regain their youthful appearance, and boost their self-confidence in the process, have turned to surgical procedures such as face lifts or plastic surgery. Thankfully, advancements in aesthetic medicine mean patients can now get similar results without having to undergo invasive surgeries. Tsawwassen’s Dr. Martin Ray of the View Laser Skin Rejuvenation Clinic specializes in non-surgical procedures that offer many advantages to surgery. After a face lift, a patient can spend days or weeks recovering at home with bandages on their face. Thankfully, the modern techniques Ray employs mean a patient can be in and out in under an hour, pain-free. “There’s significant things we can do now to improve appearance, without surgery,” he says. Ray has been operating a family practice in Tsawwassen since 1986, and in 2006 founded the View Laser Skin Rejuvenation Clinic with his wife, Dr. Judith Fletcher. The clinic offers dermal fillers, laser therapy, microdermabrasion, intense pulse light photofacials, Botox, and much more. The treatments can rejuvenate the skin, reduce acne scarring and the appearance of blood vessels, smooth out wrinkles, and get rid of age spots. “Over time we can develop lines on our face that make us look angry when we’re not,” says Ray. “We can treat that, and the results are fabulous.” For many patients, those results help their self esteem and improve their quality of life. Many of Ray’s clients are recent divorcées and widows, who are looking to get out and be social again. “That’s a big step for them, so they want to feel more confident, and look healthier,” he says. “It’s very exciting for me as a physician to be able to do that for someone.”

A master among chefs

Retired chef is dedicated to creating Canadian culinary masters

After 32 years of running Ladner’s LaBelle Auberge restaurant, Bruno Marti is enjoying a slower pace of life on his Westham Island ranch. He finally has time to ride his motorcycle, take trips to the cabin, and spend time with his nine grandchildren. Marti says when he had his restaurant he had time for none of these things. “You have two lives, one that is private and non-existent, and the other is the restaurant,” says Marti, who recently received an honorary alumnus award from Vancouver Community College for his work on their industry panel. That doesn’t mean Marti doesn’t keep busy. The former president of the Canadian Culinary Federation is renowned throughout Canada for his contributions to the kitchen.

Marti used to have a show on Global TV called The Next Great Chef from 2003-2005. The desire to find world class chefs in Canada has only increased since then. Marti was in Toronto recently as the lead examiner for Humber College’s three-year Canadian Certified Master Chef program. In the final exam, only one of the eight chefs passed, Judson Simpson, executive chef at the House of Commons in Ottawa. He became Canada’s first master chef. “Until now they had no opportunity to be called master chefs by certification,” explains Marti, who is not a master chef himself but well could be. Marti was the first to be inducted into the Canadian Restaurant Hall of Fame and is the only chef to be awarded the Order of B.C. He has won numerous awards throughout his prestigious culinary career. He became world champion in 1984 at the Culinary Olympics.

“In 1984 Canadians woke up to the idea cooking is an honour, not a disgrace,” he says. Marti has been surprised how few chefs have the “guts” to go for master certification, which he thinks is because of the possible damage to the chef ’s reputation for failing. In comparison, there have been 66 master chefs certified in the U.S. in the past 20 years. As for himself, retirement doesn’t mean he can’t still win accolades in the kitchen. “Whenever my family is going to come now I’m going to make some incredible meals because that’s the only opportunity I will have to cook,” he says, following up with a philosophical reflection. “It’s not only eating. It’s experimenting with food. It’s like theatre.”

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act.

Start your day with the

South Delta Leader

Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

The Delta Islanders finished the regular season with a whimper last weekend as they posted a pair of losses heading into the playoffs. The junior A lacrosse team lost to the Langley Thunder 12-5 on the road on Thursday before falling 16-11 to the Coquitlam Adanacs at home on Saturday. With the two losses, Delta finishes the 2013 regular season with a record of 11 wins and 10 losses. The Islanders face the Victoria Shamrocks in a bestof-three series that gets under way this weekend. The Islanders weren’t without the services of Cody Nass and Eli McLaughlin this past weekend, who were traded away to the New Westminster Salmonbellies for the postseason. Nass finished the season as the league-leader in points with 125, while McLaughlin was the top goal scorer with 60. Team president Gary McBride said the move will help the team in the future, as both players will be returning to the Islanders next season. In return the Islanders pick up the rights to five young prospects, as well as New West’s first and third round picks in the 2014 BCJALL junior entry draft, and the first and second round picks in the 2015 draft. “This was a deal we couldn’t pass up,” said McBride. “This will really benefit us [in the coming years]. “The future looks bright.” In the meantime, the New West Salmonbellies put their newfound firepower to good use, as they stomped the Burnaby Lakers 29-3 to close out their regular season. The Islanders’ playoff series with the Shamrocks gets underway this Saturday in Victoria, with the series coming to the mainland for Game 2 at Ladner Arena at 5:30 p.m. this Sunday. Game 3, if necessary, will be July 16 in Victoria. Victoria holds the season series with Delta, two games to one. The teams last met on June 22, when the Shamrocks edged the Islanders 17-16 at the Ladner Arena.

American Steve Fisher wins first-ever UCI-sanctioned Delta Road Race Winnipeg’s Leah Kirchmann claims Stage Three Tour de Delta win ❙ Staff writer news@southdeltaleader.com

South Delta is starting to feel like home for American cyclist Steve Fisher as he took top spot at the White Spot Delta Road Race Sunday afternoon in Tsawwassen for the second straight year. It was the first International Cycling Union

at Boundary Bay Airport

(UCI) sanctioned win for the Seattle-based Hagens Berman Cycling team member. The designation means that the Tour de Delta is the first road race in Western Canada on the UCI’s America Tour Calendar. With international sanctioning and awarding of official UCI points, the road race drew a deeper, stronger field of top professional cyclists from all over the world. The race itself saw a nine rider break early, which expanded to fifteen in the latter portion of the 151km trek as the pack closed the gap on the first group.

“It was a long day, the team played it pretty conservative at first, I had three guys in there and they were pretty motivated to keep the gap up,” Fisher explained. “So that played well into our hands and my teammate Chris Wingfield came up with two laps to go to help keep that gap up through the sprint.” As for the success in Delta, the 23-year-old Fisher is quick to deflect the accolades to his teammates at Hagens Berman Cycling, which is based out of Seattle. “It was a big win for me last year, it was good rac-

ing by the team, it’s great racing all week, so I’m happy to back at BC Superweek and glad I could repeat today.” North Vancouver’s Ryan Anderson wrapped up an outstanding performance at the Tour de Delta with his third straight podium finish as part of Team Optum/Kelly Benefit Strategies. Anderson followed up back-to-back second place finishes in Friday’s MK Delta Lands Criterium and Saturday’s Brenco Criterium with a third place finish in Sunday’s White Spot Delta Road Race.

course for the White Spot Delta Road Race this year meant the women were riding seven kilometres less than in past years, but it certainly didn’t diminish the excitement. With most of the riders grouped together for most of the race, it took a sprint in the last 50 metres for Leah Kirchmann of Team Optum/ Kelly Benefit Strategies to claim first place in the third stage of the Tour de Delta. In a close second was Elle Anderson of Team Vanderkitten, with Team NOW and Novartis for MS rider Robin Farina in third. Kirchmann, who is reigning Canadian Criterium National Champion, enjoyed the challenge the new road race presented. “I think this road race is almost like a crit course, there are a lot of corners,” the Winnipeg native expressed immediately after crossing the finish line. “The last few laps were pretty hard, there were a couple of individual riders who got off the front and my team did a great job sitting on the front and bringing them back at the perfect moment. Then they were able to give me a lead out for the final corners and make my job much easier.”
