Marina Gardens clears final hurdle Contentious project approved

by Delta Council

❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

The final phase of the controversial Marina Garden Estates development passed third reading on Monday night following a narrow 4-2 vote in favour

by Delta’s council, paving the way for the 10-year construction phase to begin.

The application, forwarded by Captain’s Cove Marina and designed by Polygon Homes, visibly split the community of Ladner during a marathon public hearing held June 25 and 26 that heard over 70 speakers come forward.

The final phase approved will add 674 dwelling units in the form of townhomes and apartments to the existing 619 housing units in Woodward’s Landing, Chesapeake Landing, and South Point.

The issue caused many sleepless nights for Coun.

Ian Paton, who said he’s been torn between the belief the density is too high and the understanding it’s already been approved under previous bylaws.

“To me, this is the big-

❙ Polygon Homes’ Marina Gardens Estates development will be built out over the next 10 years and feature 674 residential units. Illustration contributed by Polygon Homes

gest thing that’s happened in the history of Ladner,” he said. “I mean, there’s been nothing even come close to it since I was a kid growing up as far as developments.”

Paton said people weren’t asking for many changes in the public hearing, just a reduced density and wider townhomes.

“Ladner’s very unique.

We’re not like North Delta, we’re not like parts of Coquitlam and Surrey and Langley where they

have these great long roads with 16-foot wide, three-storey high townhomes. This is Ladner.”

Coun. Robert Campbell said the density shouldn’t be an issue because it was set under the 1996 Official Community Plan for Marina Gardens.

“I don’t know why we can sit here and talk about density and pretend that the density on this piece of property is going to change,” he said, adding no developer in their right mind would give up their

right to build the units they’re allowed under current zoning.

“We’re deluding ourselves if we think we can play brinkmanship with the developer and say, well no, the 1996 plan is no longer viable,” he said.

But the density was a sticking point for Coun.

Sylvia Bishop, who compared the development to trying to cram a “size 10” foot into a size nine shoe.

“You can do it, maybe, but the toes are cramped, and the fit is uncomfort-

able,” she said.

Bishop added the lone remaining four-storey apartment building isn’t in keeping with the character of the area.

“I understand that many people feel the density is far too high,” said Coun.

Bruce McDonald, but added council has a legal and ethical requirement to approve the density of a project already approved under the Official Community Plan.

Mayor Lois Jackson agreed, saying the land doesn’t belong to council, it belongs to a company that has rights. She said that Marina Gardens is already approved for an even higher density than the one proposed by Captain’s Cove Marina, which means turning down the proposal would only invite a new application under the approved higher density.

Council voted in favour of third reading for the application with Mayor Lois Jackson, and Couns. Bruce McDonald, Jeannie Kanakos, and Robert Campbell in favour, while Couns.

Sylvia Bishop and Ian Paton were opposed. Coun.

Scott Hamilton abstained for a declared conflict of interest because his daughter works for Polygon Homes.

Plane crashes at Boundary Bay Airport ❙ Robert Mangelsdorf editor editor@southdeltaleader.com

A small aircraft made a crash landing at Boundary Bay Airport Saturday afternoon.

The Cessna 152 skidded off the runway while attempting to land around 4 p.m. on Saturday, ending up in a ditch next to the runway.

Delta Fire and Emergency Ser-

vices and paramedics attended the scene.

Deputy fire chief Ken Sim said the pilot was the lone occupant of the plane, and was not seriously injured in the crash.

“It was very minor,” he said.

Airport manager Susan McLaren said the small two-seater plane belonged to one of the flight training schools based at

the airport.

Boundary Bay Airport is one of the busiest airports in Canada for aircraft movements due to the many flight schools based there.

“We work very closely with the airport and we do a lot of training with them,” said Sim. “It’s a very busy airport, so these things happen. Thankfully most of the calls are non-events.”

Findlay shuffled to National Revenue portfolio Delta-Richmond East MP KerryLynne Findlay has found herself in the midst of another cabinet shuffle by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, this time earning her own portfolio.

Findlay, 58, has been promoted to minister of national revenue, leaving her post of associate national defence minister, a position she held since February.

During her short stay with the defence ministry, Findlay was responsible for military procurement, and recently welcomed the delivery of the Canadian Forces’ first new CH147F Chinook helicopter in Ottawa.

“I am very proud to assume my new duties as minister of national revenue and I am thankful for the responsibility that Prime Minister Stephen Harper has bestowed upon me,” said Findlay in a press release issued Monday (July 15).

“I would also like to thank everyone at the department of national defence and the brave men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces for their support during my tenure as associate minister of national defence,” she said.

Prior to the cabinet shuffle, Findlay had recently run afoul of conflict-of-interest rules by lobbying Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose to renew its lease on a building owned by a constituent.

According to documents obtained by the Canadian Press, Findlay wrote the letter to Ambrose while she was parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice.

The parliamentary ethics commissioner is currently reviewing the matter.

Findlay has progressed rapidly through the ranks of the Harper government since being first elected to office May 2, 2011. A former Vancouver lawyer, Findlay was a member of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal until her election, and appointed parliamentary secretary to the minister of justice when she assumed office.

Guns taken off Delta streets ❙ Robert Mangelsdorf editor editor@southdeltaleader.com

The province’s month-long gun amnesty program in June resulted in a veritable arsenal being turned in to the Delta Police Department.

The program allowed citizens to turn in unwanted firearms and weapons. As long as the guns had not been used in the commission of an offence, there would be no penalty for unregistered guns turned in.

The program’s goal was to encourage British Columbians to safely dispose of unwanted weapons that might otherwise fall into the hands of criminals, children or others, potentially leading to tragic consequences.

In Delta alone, 57 firearms were turned in to police, along with more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition.

Among the weapons turned in locally were 11 shotguns, 33 rifles, 10 restricted handguns, and three prohibited handguns.

In addition, there were 20 air pistols and air rifles turned in, as well as one starter pistol, and a replica handgun. Four seal bombs were also turned in, which are small water-proof explosives used by fishermen to scare away aquatic mammals from their fishing nets.

Delta Police spokesperson Sgt. Ciaran Feenan said that while the number of weapons turned in locally was down from the 110 firearms handed over in 2006 when the last amnesty was held, fewer firearms makes for safer streets. new “Anytime we can take a firearm off the streets it

makes our community safer,” he said. “We’re grateful for the community’s participation in the program.”

All of the firearms handed over to police will be ballistic tested to ensure they were not used in any crimes, and then destroyed.

Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton put the results of the province-wide effort on display Friday at the Richmond RCMP detachment,.

“Let’s get those out of places they shouldn’t be,” Anton told reporters of the weapons that were turned over to police from across the province.

More than 1,800 firearms, 155 other weapons and about 37,000 rounds of ammunition were turned in to police for destruction at locations across the province.

Of those, 1,429 firearms and 97 other unwanted weapons were turned in to RCMP detachments.

“The public’s response and participation in the amnesty was overwhelmingly successful,” said deputy commission Craig Callens, commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP. “We were able to reach small rural communities such as Tumbler Ridge in northern B.C. with six firearms turned in and the largest community the RCMP polices, namely Surrey, who had 237 guns turned in.”

The majority of the firearms handed over to Mounties were rifles, shotguns and handguns, including a machine gun received by the Kelowna RCMP and 1880s bayonets turned in to the Ridge Meadows RCMP. But there was also a six-foot long military-grade missile, kept as a souvenir from a tour of duty overseas, turned in by a relative of the keeper.

A century of memories for Tsawwassen man Former civil engineer involved in BC Ferries causeway project

❙ Graham Walley holds up a photo of a press conference announcing completion of BC Ferries Tsawwassen causeway. Walley, who turned 100 years old this month, was a civil engineer involved in the project.

Adrian MacNair photo

❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

In his thin and weathered hands, Graham Walley clutches a black and white photograph that is more than 50 years old. He is standing behind provincial transportation minister Phil Gagliardi, watching him speak into a CKNW radio microphone to announce the completion of the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal.

A former civil engineer, Walley, who turned 100 years old on July 17, lists it among his greatest accomplishments.

Walley’s parents, both from Liverpool, England, were also civil engineers. His mother, Nina, a former suffragette, was Great Britain’s first woman to receive the distinction.

Walley was born the eldest of 10 children in Winnipeg in 1913. After the First World War ended in 1919, the family lived for a time in England, but returned to Manitoba to farm 100 hectares of windswept prairie.

“I was a farm boy in my teenage years,” says Walley, adding their house had neither electricity, nor plumbing.

He went to primary school before dropping out to work the farm.

“Finishing Grade 8 was graduation day because you were 14 and it was time to drive the horses,” he says, explaining that he farmed just prior to

the proliferation of the tractor.

He would plow the fields of their farm with a team of four horses. And when the local farmers could scrape together enough money to buy a tractor, all five farms shared the machine together.

Walley might have stayed a farmer for life, but the stock market crash of 1929 changed everything. Nearly everybody lost their farm or went bankrupt, including his father, although he still had civil engineering to fall back on. When his father asked Walley if he wanted to keep the farm, he said no. He packed up his things and like so many others during the dustbowl decade, he went west in 1934.

Walley became a gold miner in Bralorne, a tiny town about “60 dirt road miles” west of Lillooet. He spent nearly seven years there, splitting his time at the University of Idaho for mining and engineering.

He married his first wife then, Lillian, and had his first daughter, Eleanor. When he graduated in 1941, his wife was stricken by cancer and he had to leave his job as a shift boss at the mine to be with her. She soon passed away, leaving him widowed with a child at the age of 27.

“I was broke after all those years of school,” Walley recalls. “I had no money so I went to work for Boeing.”

The company was manufacturing

fighter and bomber airplanes for the war effort against Germany. Three of his brothers flew those same planes in the war, two of them lost to anti-aircraft fire. His surviving brother, Bruce, survived and became a civil engineer as well.

In 1943, he met Rosemary, a pretty 19-year-old girl working on the Boeing assembly line. He soon proposed.

“I don’t know why she said yes,” says Walley, smiling. “Here I was, 29 years, with a daughter. She said yes.”

Rosemary and Graham would go on to have three boys and a girl, nine grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. She passed away last October at the age of 89, which led Walley

to consider moving from his home of 40 years in Harrison Hot Springs to Tsawwassen’s The Waterford seniors’ residence in February.

His health was poor when he moved to Delta but has significantly improved under Tsawwassen’s sunny skies. His grandchildren, who live nearby, often take him to Tim Hortons or the Rose and Crown pub for lunch.

The walls of his room are adorned with photographs of his family, including one from 70 years ago when he married Rosemary.

Walley says he doesn’t have any secret to share for living to the century-mark, but he has taken a teaspoon of cod liver oil every day from the time he was a child on the farm.

“No,” he says when asked if he ever thought he’d live to see 100. “I’ve had lots of close scrapes.”

Working as a civil engineer for nearly 40 years until his retirement in 1982 and then a consultant for many after, Walley said he’s never worked in safe environments. And because of his years working in mines, his lungs have trouble keeping up.

Despite the miles on the odometer, Walley is as sharp as a tack, rattling off current events and politics. He also has a philosophical view about age, not just for his time on earth, but all of humanity.

“The time from the Pharaohs until now is but a blip on the geological record,” he says.

From that perspective, Walley is 100 years young.

Local chef helps rescue boaters Roland Smith used his 25-foot Bowrider to search for stranded boat in the darkness ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

A routine evening boat launch on the eve of America’s biggest holiday turned out to be a lot more dramatic than one local man expected.

Roland Smith, chef and owner of Illuminaté Restorante in Tsawwassen, was at Lighthouse Marine Park in Point Roberts at around 10 p.m. on July 3 to prepare his boat for a pleasure trip to Roche Harbour the next day, when he came across a frantic American man speaking with the marina owner.

The man, Brendan Langdon, told him that his wife, along with his brother-in-law and that man’s fiancée, were out on a tiny motorboat that was dead in the waters of Boundary Bay, drifting in the rough waters.

According to Smith, Langdon told him the three had decided to power their 17-foot ( five metre) TriHull motorboat called the Gypsy Rose from Blaine, Wash. to Point Roberts, but lost engine power as they approached the marina.

Adding to the concerns that the tiny boat was powerless, lightless, and in choppy waters, was the fact the brother-in-law is disabled. A radio was the only communication the boat had to call for help,

but they didn’t have a navigation system to pinpoint their exact location.

Smith listened on the marina radio to learn the Coast Guard’s Vessel Assist had been called to search for the missing party, but it was 40 minutes away. He volunteered to help search with his own 25-foot Bowrider.

“I don’t think if I was in a clear mind I would head out like that but the gentleman was in distress and his family was out there so I was just happy to help,” said Smith, who uses an iPad mounted above his boat’s steering column to navigate with GPS technology.

Although Smith’s boat is larger than the Gypsy Rose, he said it can be difficult to see in the dark and isn’t equipped for rough waters.

“They had a small boat so the husband was really frantic and scared that the boat had capsized because we couldn’t hear anything from their radio,” he said.

It was after midnight when Smith and Langdon heard that Vessel Assist had located the boat and would begin towing it to safety.

As they returned to shore, Smith was delighted to learn that Langdon is a chef at the Pier Restaurant and Grill at the marina. It was perhaps fitting that in a time of distress, one chef came in aid of another.

Although the tale had a happy ending, Smith said it was a reminder for pleasure boaters to ensure they’re equipped with proper navigation and emergency equipment, especially with the sudden squalls that can whip up on Boundary Bay.

With the weather heating up, it can be a bad time to be a hot dog, especially when left in a parked car.

Pets being left in cars are a major concern for the Delta Community Animal Shelter this time of year, says manager Hugh Nichols.

Since dogs can’t sweat, they have a hard time regulating their body temperature.

“All they can do is pant,” says Nichols. “If you couldn’t sweat, and you had to wear a fur coat, you wouldn’t be doing too good.”

Snub-nosed dogs, such as bulldogs and pugs, are especially susceptible to the heat as their short snouts cause them breathing problems making heat-regulation even more difficult.

Outdoor movie nights return

❙ Matthew Norris is the communications assistant for the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association and is helping to organize the annual Tsawwassen Outdoor Movie Nights.

F

or years, Matthew Norris dreamed of being involved in film.

Now the communications assistant with the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association is helping to share his love of movies with the annual Tsawwassen Outdoor Movie Nights.

Norris is in charge of making the annual event a reality, which kicks off on Saturday, July 27.

Norris is a graduate from UBC’s political science program, and says his first love has always been film.

“In high school, I wanted to direct,” he says. “But there’s not a lot of jobs directing films, so I listened to my dad’s advice, and went to school for something a little more practical.”

Norris grew up in White Rock and attended the outdoor movie nights there. Outdoor movies bring a casual, social atmosphere to the movie-going experience, and are a great way to bring the community together, he says.

“Being outside, it’s more relaxing, and more family oriented,” says Norris. “You can brings the kids, have a picnic, and it’s free, so why not?”

This year’s flicks have a decidedly family theme, and

will be screened at three different locations for the three nights.

On Saturday, July 27, Winskill Park will be hosting The Goonies; Saturday, Aug. 10 is The Lorax at Diefenbaker Park; Aug. 24 is Pirates of the Caribbean at Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

Norris recommends bringing blankets and lawn chairs to sit on, and for the screening at Diefenbaker Park, some mosquito repellent as well.

Norris expects anywhere from 500 to 2,000 people to attend each movie night, depending on the weather.

Should the weather take a turn for the worse, the screening will be postponed.

“We have a backup plan, so if it’s raining we’re able to reschedule,” he says.

This year there will also be live bands playing music for the crowds until it gets dark enough for the movie start.

The entertainment starts at 6:30 p.m., with Loose Change playing on July 27, Doghouse on the Aug. 10, and The Flanagans on Aug. 24.

“They don’t realize how quickly the heat can rise. In five to 10 minutes, it can be unbearable.”

Leaving a dog tied up in front of a store is also not advised.

“There’s always the chance they can get loose, they could bite or nip at someone, or even get stolen,” he says. “This time of year, it’s better to just leave the dog at home where it’s safe and cool.

“There’s just no need to put your dog in danger.”

Zimmerman verdict frustration misplaced, but understandable

F

or the past week, the streets of many major US cities have seen protests and demonstrations – the vast majority of them peaceful – over the verdict by a Florida jury finding George Zimmerman not guilty in the killing of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin.

The frustration felt by many African-Americans is understandable.

For many, the verdict validates the feeling many have that a separate justice system exists for the black population - one that targets them unfairly as criminals and places less importance on them as victims of crime.

That notion may have merit. In 2006, nearly one in 20 black men were serving time behind bars in the US, compared to one in every 140 white men.

However, the frustrations expressed over the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial are misplaced.

Under Florida’s controversial Stand Your Ground law, the verdict delivered was correct.

Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, has never denied shooting Martin. However, this was done in self defence, he contends. The injuries Zimmerman sustained in the confrontation with Martin are consistent with his story.

Under the Stand Your Ground law, one only has to believe that one’s life is in danger to be able to use deadly force.

This is problematic for obvious reasons.

As US Attorney General Eric Holder has said, the Stand Your Ground laws “senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods.”

In a fearful society that fetishizes gun ownership, and grants citizens the right to use them under the slightest of provocations, deaths like Martin’s are to be regretably expected.

Nevertheless, under the word of the law, as flawed as that law is,

the verdict delivered was just.

However, history has shown that law is not consistently applied.

Last year, Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville, Florida, was given a 20-year prison sentence for firing a warning shot as she was being attacked by her abusive estranged husband. It was the first offence for the African-American mother.

During the attack she ran inside her home to grab her gun and fired a warning shot in an attempt to scare off her attacker. No one was hit, and her husband fled.

However, the court ruled that since she left the scene of the attack, Stand Your Ground did not apply to her. And for that she will spend the next 20 years in prison.

What is appalling is not that Zimmerman was acquitted, but that so many African-American suspects seemingly have a different burden of proof: they are guilty until proven innocent.

The War on Drugs has systematically decimated African-American communities since it became policy in the early 1970s.

Generations of families have been torn apart by this failed policy, as fathers were led away to prison for trivial offences, leaving mothers behind to raise children on their own.

This destruction of the family unit begat a cycle of poverty, violence, and addiction.

The result is not unlike the fate suffered by aboriginal communities here in Canada from the residential school system. Likewise, it will take many generations for the wounds to heal.

Convicting Zimmerman would not have healed those wounds, however. One injustice doesn’t make up for countless others, and in truth there could be no positive resolution to this tragic case.

But given how African-Americans have been targeted by law enforcement and treated by the justice system in the US, their cries of “No Justice” ring true.

❙ Uncommon Sense

Canadian citizenship should not require a pledge to England

T

here are many traditions that have survived from colonial Great Britain to present day Canada, the best example being our parliamentary and judicial systems.

The Queen of England serves as our Head of State in a symbolic link between the monarchy and our constitutional democracy. That link provides a connection to our past that offers us a clue of who we are and where we come from.

As a result, every foreign-born person who applies for citizenship of our nation is required to pledge an oath or allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second.

And that can be a deal breaker for many wouldbe citizens here.

Firstly, the pledge ignores the tripartite nation Canada represents, one created not just by the English, but also the French and the many First Nations who were already living here during settlement by the Europeans.

I sincerely doubt many of the French-speaking Canadians in Quebec consider themselves subjects of Her Majesty of England today, nor have they ever subjected to the power of the British monarchy. Quebec is a distinct society that quite ignores this requirement of fealty and makes their opinion known on a regular basis.

Nor can we assume that the First Nation peoples—who have been very much left worse off since the arrival of the Europeans—are particularly enthralled about the idea of loyalty to the

Queen of England.

There are also the various other contributing European settlers of Canada, including the Dutch, Germans, and Scandinavians, all of whom have a different history of monarchs.

My wife, who is from Portugal, swore an oath to the Queen when she took citizenship, but she’s far more likely to tell you the history of how Portugal’s line of royals was overthrown for a Portuguese Republic over a century ago.

Speaking of which, there are Republicans from commonwealth countries like Ireland and Australia, who have resisted the Crown for centuries and who continue to fight for a state that is “res publica” and not the concern of monarchs.

Throw into the mix the fact that our most common immigrants to Canada today are from the ancient cultures of India and China and this symbolic oath of fealty seems silly.

As a fifth generation Canadian whose family came from Scotland in 1853—another kingdom with a rich history of resisting the British Crown and is currently working toward independence—I never had to swear fealty to Her Majesty.

I don’t see why others should be forced to do what I haven’t.

Let us retire this needless tradition and instead have our new citizens swear allegiance to Canada and her people, whoever they may be and wherever they may come from.

Letters to the editor SFPR route will leave Tsawwassen residents ‘screwed’ Led down the garden path once again!

It is beginning to look like we, the John Q. Public have been snookered once again.

Remember those wonderful promises that said the South Fraser Perimeter Road was being constructed in order to take those large container truck/ trailers off our roads and make it safer for everyone?

Has anyone seen the proposals for Highway 17? A very close

examination of the Section 1 map shows the plan now is to divert either all or most of the traffic north bound onto the SFPR at the very evident “diversion to nowhere” we now pass while traveling north on 17 while crossing the BC Railway resulting in a complete traffic merge of trucks and passenger vehicles albeit it on a new billion dollar road!

The existing highway is going to be reduced to one lane going on to Ladner, and this is to encourage all travelers to get onto the SFPR, merge with the trucks and take an extra-long journey to merge onto Highway 99 and joining all northbound traffic from

South Surrey/White Rock.

What a treat!

Have you ever been told as a resident of Tsawwassen we are once again getting screwed?

If our Mayor and council sit back and accept this they should never get another chance to serve.

It is not too late to do something about this but once the pavement gets torn up at Hwy 17 and the BC Rail overpass it will be.

Once again - down the garden path!

❙ B.C. Views Tom Fletcher Columnist

Empty seats for political theatre

P

remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up.

By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.

These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.

The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.

The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so ingrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the

latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the healthcare system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre.

The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point.

A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

B.C. waters safe for tankers thanks to technology Re: “Oil by pipeline, or train?”

Letter to the editor, July 12, 2013.

Mr Massey, give your head a good shake and stop trying to frighten people you think you can influence with your letters.

You must by now know that the world has changed in a great many ways that make oil tanker shipments far more safe than at the time of the Exxon Valdez. The mandated construction of tankers, the navigation and communica-

tion technology, weather forecasting, the required use of pilots and tugs, the regulations for shipping, the type and amount of oversight of vessels and terminals, the rigour of insurance requirements and yes the financial risk aversion by the owners of the product as well as the shipping companies have all changed dramatically in recent years.

Every potential cause of spillage has been carefully identified and

Reader poll

preventative precautions taken, always with redundant precautions in place (sometimes even three or more back up measures).

This applies to every tanker vessel plying Canadian waters.

Canada’s Pacific coast is really a very safe place for oil tanker shipping, and you will find no ports better prepared. I think you must be aware of that.

arl Morgan gazes at his artistic installation rising out of Rotary Square in Tsawwassen, pride evident in his eyes.

The 42-year-old Tsawwassen First Nation artist was commissioned to carve the “Returning Sockeye” sculpture in 2007, which mixes modern glasswork with traditional aboriginal wood carving. Morgan says it is a “highlight piece” of his life’s work, which spans more than 25 years.

Discovering his artistic side as a small child, Morgan fell in love with native art in his early teens when his band held a carving class. He soon immersed himself in the history and art of the Tsawwassen people and studied the older works of First Nation artists at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver.

Over the years his biggest supporter has been his own people, with the nation commissioning him to do several pieces on TFN lands.

But Morgan says he was happy to break be-

yond the boundaries of his land and do installations like Returning Sockeye and the Totem Pole he created at the BC Ferry Terminal because it creates awareness of native art outside his community.

“It’s nice when people arrive, they can look around and appreciate where they are, driving through TFN land,” he says.

Although Morgan says he felt alone for many years, he has seen an increase in artistic expression among his people in recent years and it continues to flourish.

“There’s kind of a cultural revival of everything from cedar bark to carving and painting the Coast Salish form,” he says.

Morgan attributes the rise in First Nation art to the Olympic Games in Vancouver in 2010, which promoted many local artists and gave Coast Salish people a chance to do commissioned works in all mediums.

“It’s huge because I think the northern bands

have been represented for a long time and I think Tsawwassen is regaining our language and our culture in a big way,” he says.

Weaver of cedar bark Loretta Williams, a traditional and contemporary artist who specializes in making cedar hats, says there’s a growing number of artists down on the “rez,” an endearing term she holds for the former Indian reservation.

As an elder and legislator in the community, Williams grew up during a time when aboriginal culture was stifled by mainstream Canadian society. As a result, she remembers little of the traditional way of life on the shores of Roberts Bank before the coal port and ferry terminal arrived.

She does remember helping her grandmother get the wool ready for weaving. It was her job to remove the rocks and twigs from the wool, a process called “teasing.”

ple often passed on traditions like these by learning from their elders. Even as an expert weaver, Williams continues in that spirit.

“Whenever I can, I learn,” she says. “Not everybody knows everything about what they’re doing.”

Although she was taught cedar weaving decades ago, she didn’t take it seriously until about 2004. It was then that TFN member Alice Gus told her about a traditional cedar hat weaving class she was starting. Williams’ curiosity was piqued.

“I asked who was going to teach the class. She said, ‘you are.’”

Williams had to call her former teachers to get up to speed, including her most influential mentor Tracy Williams—no relation—of the Squamish Nation.

As she got better at weaving, she passed on the information to her students.

“As I was learning I was teaching my people,” says Williams.

Friday, July 19, southdeltaleader.com 2013 South Delta Leader A11 ❙ Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Bryce Williams is a Haida Gwaii trained carver.

Don’t miss our summer tours!

Westshore Terminals is expanding its summer tours format in 2013 to include seven weekends in July and August. These FREE, 45-minute, guided tours of our Roberts Bank, Delta site are by van and in small groups so you’ll need to reserve by calling

604.946.3453 It should come as little surprise that the tiny community of Tsawwassen First Nation has so many talented artists, given that their newly elected chief, Bryce Williams, is an expertly trained Haida Gwaii carver. Loretta Williams is related to the chief through her great grandfather, who was the brother of the chief ’s great-greatgrandmother.

It runs in the family Angeline Splockton, a 34-year-old bead artist, provides traditional beaded eagle feathers for Chief Williams and the legislators. For each beaded feather she makes, Splockton receives an eagle feather of her own, which she can sell to the public as art.

“I think it’s amazing, I like it,” she says, adding she learned beading from her sister Laura when she was 18.

Splockton comes from an artistic family. Her father Darryl and her cousins carved one of the totem poles for the University of British Columbia. And her brothers, Lloyd and Henry, will carve a replacement for the Chief Wilkes James totem in Ladner.

Splockton says their aboriginal traditions are important, and it’s not just because Chief Williams has urged the community to explore their artistic sides.

“I think we’re getting our tradition back, we’re learning to speak our language,” she says. “We just started that.”

Reviving the language is important according to Morgan, who says one can’t just be a carver and not learn history and language. The two are intertwined.

Morgan teaches his two boys—who apprentice under him—the importance of the oral traditions that accompany carving, so the finished work as has a story to tell.

The next generation Not all TFN artists are exploring traditional styles, however. Kaitlin Williams, 20-year-old first cousin of the chief, says there’s an increased interest in art in gen-

eral, not just on Tsawwassen lands.

“I don’t feel as though because I’m First Nations it should restrict me to the traditional art,” she says. “I feel like we can do modern work and still be proud artists.”

Another artist who discovered her talents at a young age, Kaitlin Williams has just completed a two-year diploma program from Langara College in Fine Arts and has been accepted into Emily Carr University. Although she primarily enjoys painting, she’s also taking a course in digital design to improve her long-term employment prospects.

That sort of pragmatism can be a tough lesson to learn for many artists, few of whom are able to make ends meet solely on their artwork. Morgan, for example, is a foreman on a construction project at TFN. “I feel like the next generation is changing things,” says Kaitlin Williams, hesitating before she finishes, “in a good way.”

Many young TFN members are artistic in a mixed modern and traditional way, she explains. Victoria Williams, the chief ’s sister, has practiced weaving and traditional art, but also likes contemporary art and is a licensed tattoo artist.

Although she doesn’t practice traditional native art, Kaitlin Williams says she looks up to her cousin Bryce Williams for encouraging young people in the community to get involved in carving. And Emily Carr has a First Nation art program she may take next year.

“Just so I know and I can have a base understanding,” she says. “But I’m still figuring out myself and what I like right now.”

Morgan says he admires young artists like Kaitlin Williams who have set goals that will broaden their horizons.

“Art is constantly evolving and we need more artists exploring more techniques and styles to expand on more traditional Coast Salish forms,” he says, adding that if or when Kaitlin Williams wants to explore her First Nation side, the rich history and heritage of her people will be waiting.

Szendrei’s killer is at risk to re-offend, says doctor Young man who killed North Delta teen wanted to knock her out and have sex with her, court hears. ❙ Kevin Diakiw reporter newsroom@southdeltaleader.com

The man who killed 15-year-old Laura Szendrei in North Delta three years ago couldn’t control his sexual urges.

It was much the same problem he had when he attacked three other women near Burns Bog in the months prior to killing Szendrei in Delta’s Mackie Park, according to a Vancouver psychologist specializing in youth.

Dr. Kulwant Riar told a Surrey courtroom Tuesday the young man who who has admitted to killing Szendrei has a “medium-to-high” risk of re-offending. That is, unless he gets treatment, Riar told a judge during a hearing where it’s being determined whether or not he will be sentenced as an adult.

Because he committed the crime when he was 17, the killer cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Riar said the treatment he would recommend would be group therapy under specific conditions.

“He is older, we could not put him in with youth,” Riar said.

The Szendrei family cheered and applauded at the statement, taking it as a suggestion that the killer should not be sentenced as a youth.

An adult sentence for second-degree murder is life imprisonment, whereas a youth sentence carries a maximum of seven years, three years of which is served in the community.

The court heard that the killer admitted to three other sex assaults in North Delta in the months prior to killing Szendrei. In the first two, he grabbed the women, and the third he clubbed her. Those three managed to escape.

All four attacks spanned from April to September, 2010.

It was on Sept. 25, that the young man awoke at 9 a.m. with an urge

to have sex, said Crown prosecutor Wendy Stephen.

He did some work with his dad and decided he was going to act on his urge.

He packed a pipe and zap straps and headed to Mackie Park in North Delta, where he saw Szendrei, a girl he did not previously know.

“He told me his intention was to knock her out and have sex with her,” Riar told the courtroom.

Szendrei saw him, and ran for help. That’s when the man struck her in the head with the pipe.

Her friends ran to her aid as he made his escape, only to realize he’d forgotten the pipe and his hat at the scene of the attack.

He made his way back as part of the crowd trying to help.

It’s not clear from the testimony whether he retrieved the hat and pipe.

Szendrei later died in hospital.

Her attacker was arrested in February, 2011.

He was initially charged

with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder in October, 2012.

Riar said the killer felt remorse about the crime after it happened.

“She did not deserve to die,” Riar recalled him saying. ❙ Continued on P.13

He noted that the attacker is unable to control his libido, which is relatively easy to treat.

“If he gets aroused by the violence, that’s a different ball game,” Riar said.

The killer sat in the prisoner’s box in Surrey Provincial Court, his expressionless face tilted down, while he listened to testimony during a hearing to decide whether he’ll be sentenced as an adult.

The hearing is scheduled for four days, but may take longer.

Stephen described the killer as a shy boy growing up, with a B-average while attending Sands Secondary in North Delta.

His youth was fairly typical, Stephen said, except for some teasing and bullying he endured early in high school. That leveled off in Grade 11, but he had noted he was still concerned he didn’t have a girlfriend at that time.

He was fond of playing badminton, video games, and told guards in prison he also liked golf, watching movies and snow-shoeing.

“I wonder every day how I could do this to someone and their family,” the accused is quoted as saying. “I have destroyed my own family.”

In arguing that he be sentenced as an adult, Crown prosecutor Christina Godlewski told Justice Robin Baird there are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to sentence someone as an adult, including the seriousness of the crime, the age and maturity of the accused and any previous record.

But Godlewski said one of the more paramount considerations is that it be “sufficient to hold the person accountable.”

Laura’s mother Rachael Szendrei spoke briefly to the press Tuesday afternoon.

“Sentencing as an adult is what he deserves,” she said. “No one deserves this, please.”

The killer’s family watched the court proceedings via video, but weren’t visible to the courtroom gallery.

Fun at the market

Advice From Your Community Experts

The last 12 months have been relatively slow. January and February 2013 saw a much lower level of overall activity than the previous 2 years.

There were approx. 30% less homes sold Jan/Feb of 2013 in Ladner/Tsawwassen than there were for the same period in 2012, and 65% less detached sales Jan/Feb 2013 in comparison with the same period in 2011! So the year did start out relatively slow compared to the previous couple years.

However, the last 2 months, and especially the month of June 2013 has been an excellent market for sellers, with a substantial change in activity levels. There were a total of 61 detached sales in Ladner and Tsawwassen in June 2013, compared to 32 detached sales in June of 2012! That is double the overall detached sales volume of June 2012.

We are hoping that this positive trend continues through the summer months, and we are feeling very confident that stability has returned to our real estate market! Residential real estate ownership has always proven to be a winner in the long run and South Delta is a bargain in comparison to most other Greater Vancouver locations!

Q: I live alone and am putting my affairs in

order. Should I put my kids on the title to my home to save probate delays and expense?

A: In most cases, I don’t recommend it. You may cause more problems that you solve. Probate is not as gruesome as many people

fear. There are good reasons for it – for another column – and it is not that costly. Estimate 3-4% of the value for government probate and legal fees. Compare that to the 7%-2.5% you pay to sell a house, and few people worry much about that. Probate usually takes less than six months, and if there are other assets the estate may have to be probated anyway.

There are negatives that make the savings seem even less enticing. First, sharing ownership means giving up some financial independence; you can no longer sell or mortgage the property without the consent of your children. They may have different ideas about what is best for you. Or them. You may also lose part of the principal residence tax exemption. Worst, you expose your home to risk: lawsuits, bankruptcy or divorces by your children mean creditors may come after your home.

About the only time it may be worth the risk is where there is one child, living in the house with the parent, and little risk of financial problems. Even then, I’d rather not.

Q:What is the position of CHOA (Condominium

Homeowner Association of BC) regarding the final date for a Strata to obtain a Strata Depreciation Report? Also Is it good enough to just have the Depreciation Report ordered by December 13th,2013 (with completed report in 2014)?

A: NO, not according to CHOA.

If your strata corporation does not pass a three quarters pass vote for an exemption bylaw to opt out from the requirement, then you still will be required to have your depreciation report COMPLETED by December 13th,2013.

Daniel Jones

As of December 13, 2011, a depreciation report is a mandatory function of strata corporations in the Province of British Columbia.

Strata Corporations who are not exempt, must comply with the provision by December 13, 2013. Strata corporations with fewer than 5 strata lots, and those strata corporations who pass an annual three quarter vote, are exempt from the requirement.

604-274-8885

To Start the process your strata corporation can contribute greatly to the ease of providing the depreciation report and economizing by gathering all of your records and documents that are specific to your type of strata corporation.

Q:I am planning a renovation and expect it to A:

include a fireplace. I have heard about “inserts” and “zero-clearance fireplaces” what is the difference and how does this affect my decision?

This question is always worth discussing as the two types of fireplace products are for completely different installations.

Inserts are appliances that are designed to be installed into masonry/wood-burning fireplaces and the surrounding finishes must maintain the non-combustible standard that the original fireplace held.

Manufacturers build various sizes of units to target various openings, Len Brady desired heating, and aesthetics. The units will have flexible liners running The Richmond up to rain caps or termination at the top of the chimneys and finally they Firebox will have trims for finishing the front opening.

A Zero-Clearance fireplace is designed to be installed into framed 604-284-5154 construction and can be enclosed typically with drywall and combustible material. Note that there are some instances where each fireplace has 100-3031 Beckman Place hot zones where “non-combustible” finishes must be planned for. These Richmond, BC, V6X 3R2 types of fireplaces are used in new construction and in areas where there therichmondfirebox.ca currently isn’t a fireplace.

Refresh Oral Hygiene offers a unique at home program designed to improve oral care. We offer a program of regular home visits during a set period of time, 4-6 visits over 6 weeks to 6 months, which focuses on oral hygiene practices and contributing factors like diet, daily routines, and specific individual challenges. This is done by assessing each individuals needs in the specific home setting and honing in on the exact recipe for success, not just “you need to floss more” or “brush after every meal”. Imagine having hands-on oral care instruction and education from a hygienist right where the action happens.

It is easy to become confused with all the information floating around out there. It can be broad and conflicting. In my opinion there is no basic eating plan that all women should abide by during pregnancy, as each of us is unique and has individual needs. While there are some standard pregnancy dos and don’ts that most of us are aware of and should follow, such as drinking plenty of water, increasing iron rich foods and fiber and avoiding caffeine and alcohol, there are many nutrient requirements or avoidances that are particular to you in your situation.

With the summer holidays around the corner and the kids being out of school with a lot of time on their hands, I am concerned about my teenaged daughter pushing the limits and possibly getting into trouble with her friends. We’ve had some conflicts about this in the past and I’m starting to feel the stress build.

How do I maintain a balance for everyone?

Summer holidays can be relaxing & fun for the whole family, but as this client indicates, it can also present certain challenges. Parent’s concerns often include: • parties & BBQs where alcohol & drugs are accessible • reckless behavior where alcohol is involved: (i.e. boating-related activities; vehicles, etc.)

• hooking up with a new group of friends where ‘fitting in’ might be essential.

Although fun and exciting for the teen, remaining responsible is key. Caution around casual sex partners or engaging in unsafe sexual practices might be the farthest thing from the teen’s mind – RIGHT THEN!!

As a parent: Keep open communication with your teen!

• know where your teen is • where you can reach them & arrange a check-in if necessary • set firm boundaries & follow through • negotiate an appropriate curfew (make your teen accountable for missed curfews and discuss in advance the action/consequences if it occurs) • In fairness to the many responsible & proactive youth, many seek employment for the summer. Other parents have found that a semi-structured activity list works well to balance responsibility & free time.

Unless your teen has repeatedly broken your trust, give them the benefit of the doubt that they are in fact, responsible & trustworthy.

Then, step back, relax & enjoy YOUR time as well. Have a great summer!!

Functional aspects include gastrointestinal secretions, the protection and integrity of both gastric and intestinal mucosa, intestinal motility, hepatic function and intestinal microflora.

Protection of the gastric mucosa is facilitated by appropriate mucin production and the integrity of the intestinal mucosa maintains a semi-permeable barrier that assures proper absorption of nutrients while blocking absorption of undesirable substances.

Whether it is care for your baby or toddler, motivating your teen to care for themselves, or taking the health of your gums to the next level, we have a solution for all walks of life.

adner’s Leslie Madelung begins each day with a smoothie made from goat’s yogurt and blended kale. The mixture gives her the healthy boost she needs to get going.

Madelung, who works part-time at Cobblestone Cottage, has developed a passion for natural foods. In the farmers markets where they put on demonstrations of their products, Madelung has the opportunity to speak with chefs who seem to agree: fresher is better.

“Anything that lasts more than three days on a shelf is not healthy,” she says.

Madelung is currently taking an online course in food safety from certified nutritionist Meghan Telpner to receive her culinary certificate. She’s also reading up on food and nutrition and the harm of processed foods.

Her goal is to help others understand the importance of eating raw food.

“I’d love to go into schools to teach and help mothers,” says Madelung, adding nutrition is equally important in retirement

homes for seniors.

Madelung finds no shortage of places to get fresh food in South Delta. She loves going to Westham Island Herb Farm in the summer, while Costco has a good selection of organic veggies in the offseason.

Another place she likes is Budget Foods in Ladner, which is great for organic chicken, grain-fed buffalo, and gluten-free everything.

Madelung discovered the benefits of gluten-free after having digestive problems and acid reflux. She was prescribed pills by her doctor, but opted out.

“There’s a lot of side effects to these pills,” she says. “I’m kind of a walking testament that it does work when you eat those kind of foods.”

Madelung spends between two and three hours every day prepping and cooking because the food is raw and unprocessed, so it takes a little longer. But it’s worth it.

She says the rise of Crohn’s Disease, diabetes, obesity, and irritable bowel syndrome can bePR05378_Delta_FASTER_3X112.pdf linked to processed foods.

“All these problems can go away when

you eat whole foods and make healthy choices,” she says.

Madelung is always experimenting in the kitchen. One fun technique she’s found is using a Spiromat (available at Cobblestone Cottage) to make layered salads, which can make a “pasta string” from zucchini, cucumber, and other vegetables and mix them together.

“What I find is not only does it taste good but it’s fun to eat,” she says. “My grandkids who don’t ordinarily like vegetables love to eat it.”

She also makes popsicles for her grandkids out of raw cashews, strawberries, and raw honey, another healthy treat that tastes sweet. Madelung makes her own salad dressing as well out of apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and Himalayan salt.

The final touch is garden-grown herbs like mint, oregano, dill, or basil, so there’s always a surprise flavour in every bite.

With the losses, the local box lacrosse club is eliminated from the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League playoffs, ending their season.

The Shamrocks made short work of the Islanders in the opening game of the series, as they stormed to a 6-1 lead by the end of the first period on Saturday.

Mike Henry and Shawn Richardson both had a pair of goals for Delta, while Evan Messenger had a goal and two assists.

Goaltender Ryley Brown made 50 saves on 50 shots fired his way.

The Shamrocks again got the better of the Islanders in the early going of Sunday’s game, opening up a 4-1 by the first intermission.

However, Brown didn’t fare much better, allowing four goals on 15 shots in the remainder of
