Southlands heads to public hearing in the fall Controversial development received first and second reading Monday ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

One of the longest development sagas in B.C. will move forward to a public hearing in the fall following a decision by Delta council on Monday night (July 29).

The Southlands proposal, which calls for 950 homes and townhomes on 45 hectares of land with a further 172 hectares designated for farmland and public space, received first and second reading and will go before the public on Oct. 28 and 29 in Tsawwassen.

Century Group president Sean Hodgins thanked municipal staff for putting together the 26-page development application with an additional 28 attachments totaling 233 pages.

“For the past two and a half years since the Mayor’s Summit and for seven years since we started the dialogue with the community on the future of the Southlands we’ve worked very hard,” said Hodgins, adding in his two decades in the development business he’s never seen a more thorough report.

Hodgins said the plan has a 15-year buildout based on market cycles and construction time.

It would take several years before the first houses started appearing, with a first phase of 450 homes over a six or seven year period. Two final phases would follow over the next eight years to build the remaining 500 homes.

“It’s not every day that we’re building, it’s not every day that we’re selling homes, but there’s a staging that we would do over approximately three broad phases of the project.”

❙ An artist’s rendition of the proposed Southlands development. The controversial plan, which includes 950 townhomes, will head to a public hearing in the fall after passing first and second reading at Delta council, Monday night.

Southlands architect Patrick Cotter said the development will “become an integral and valued part of the community of Tsawwassen in the future,” adding public ownership of the farmland will provide people with a continued voice over its use.

Cotter said there will be hedgerows and other natural buffer spaces separating the residential lots from the commercial farming. Local roads to be created within the area, such as the one connecting Fourth Avenue to 56th Street, would give farm vehicles the right-of-way.

Coun. Ian Paton asked whether the farm vehicle entrance off 56th Street would be preserved to allow better access to farmers.

“Maybe this is a good point to remind Coun.

Paton that this would be your land,” said Cotter

to chuckles from the audience. “And if you determine that good farm vehicle access is plus then yes, absolutely, we have no reason to remove it before dedicating the land to Delta.”

The plan would involve a $9 million investment from Century Group to create the Delta Community Based Farm District, which includes improving soil quality to agricultural grade, drainage improvements, irrigation, construction of farm building infrastructure, and a Market Square. At the end of a 10-year period the land– 80 per cent of the development’s total–would be transferred to public ownership.

Because the Southlands was removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1981, Delta is not required to seek ministry approval for any bylaw changes and farming is already a permitted use.

Coun. Robert Campbell said he would need to see some financial certainty with respect to the viability of the project, particularly given the length of the buildout, and expects answers to those questions during the public hearing.

Coun. Bruce MacDonald said the community-based farming proposal looks similar to Burnaby’s farms along southwest Marine Drive.

“There’s examples of it in many, many areas, certainly in North America and other places,” he said, adding the 10-year phase during which time Century Group will develop the farmland offers Delta a risk-free window of opportunity to see if the plan works.

There has been indications public support for the proposal has shifted in favour in recent months. According to correspondence received by the Corporation of Delta from Nov. 17, 2012 and June 14, 2013, there are 51 per cent of people in support, with 41 per cent opposed.

But counting all correspondence the municipality has received on the project since it was first submitted Oct. 3, 2011, just 27 per cent have expressed support, while 67 per cent are opposed.

“The numbers provided by Delta staff clearly show 70 per cent opposition to this proposal yet council persists in forcing the community to ensure yet another inconvenient and costly public hearing,” said Dana Maslovat, one of the organizers of Southlands the Facts, which opposes the development. “It is extremely disappointing and clear that the time, energy and costs of collecting public opinion over the past few years were simply a pretense, and council have no intent to honour the wishes of the community.”

In addition to concerns about increased traffic and construction, Maslovat said there are still unanswered questions about the project.

End to Ladner Village roadwork in sight ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

Delta’s $1.6 million intersection improvements at the entrance to Ladner are almost complete, according to Delta’s engineering director Steven Lan. Lan told council Monday evening that road crews will be substantially complete at the Ladner Trunk Road and Arthur Drive intersection by the end of July.

Final paving was completed last Friday, and the line painting was expected to be done by Tuesday (July 30).

“With respect to some of the landscaping, with respect to how dry it is, we anticipate that final landscaping will be done probably

in the fall, September and October,” he said.

That will be done to ensure the survivability of the plants, which likely would not take root in a transplant during the current bone-dry weather. Decorative crosswalks will also be installed at the intersection, which will involve concrete pouring. Lan said the concrete will need seven days to cure, which means steel plates will likely span the intersection but not impede the flow of traffic.

The project, which began in January, involved significant improvements to Ladner’s busiest intersection, including the widening and enhancement of road functionality and left turn lanes, pedestrian safety with enhanced crosswalks, and the replacement of aging utility infrastructure.

Underground watermain pipes belonging to Delta and Metro Vancouver, as well as sanitary forcemain pipes, were replaced in the earliest phase of the project, prior to the road improvements.

Pedestrian crossings at Ladner Trunk Road and Elliott Street as they approach Arthur Drive have been refitted with in-ground flashing lights to alert drivers.

The final phase of the project involves a landscaped rain garden area that will run along the southeast side of the intersection and continue for a few metres north of Ladner Trunk Road. Those improvements, including a planted median island separating the left turn lane from southbound traffic, will be made in the fall during cooler, wetter conditions.

Last ditch school bus funding attempt fails ❙ Adrian MacNair reporter adrian@southdeltaleader.com

Delta’s parents will have to find alternate transportation after a meeting between the school district and the province failed to yield fruit.

Delta School District Chair Laura Dixon travelled to Victoria last Wednesday (July 24) with senior staff to meet with Education Minister Peter Fassbender about the province’s change to the transportation funding formula, which resulted in a 47 per cent reduction of Delta’s budget.

Dixon said she was told the reason for restructuring the bus funding formula was that it would serve most of the needs of most of the districts. Fassbender reportedly told Dixon some of those districts, such as Delta, haven’t fit the formula.

The issue will now be sent to the province’s technical review committee, but it doesn’t meet until well into the fall and no date has yet been set.

“That means there will be no review and/or any alternate structure of the grant in time for this school

year,” said Dixon, adding it didn’t come as a surprise given some of the discussion Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington has had publicly in the legislature.

“The minister says they’re now taking another look at the overall funding formula, and I think it will make a difference,” said Huntington last week. “We’ll have to wait and see what their proposals are and go from there.”

Delta faces challenges that other school districts do not, with three distinct communities separated and interspersed with thousands of hectares of active farming which results in a low population density.

“Anyone can see that Delta isn’t an urban area,” said Huntington. “If we lose our school bus service, there’s no transit–not in the agricultural areas. And students can’t be expected to cross our highways twice a day.

It’s simply not safe.”

Even if the technical review committee decides to change the grants at some further date, Dixon said it won’t include new funding overall in the province.

“They stressed to us that it would

be unlikely that they would start taking money away from other districts,” she said. “They have just arrived at this new funding formula, they believe that it serves the best interests of the majority of districts.”

That doesn’t mean the Delta School District isn’t exploring other options. Dixon said she has a meeting with TransLink in the beginning of August, while some Boundary Bay parents will rent the district’s Academy Bus to transport their children to Beach Grove Elementary. That plan may include drop-offs to South Park Elementary and South Delta Secondary as well.

“The number one thing we’re encouraging parents to do is to make sure they have arrangements made for September for their families,” said Dixon, adding if they’re unable to do so they can apply to see if there are open spots on the buses that transport special needs and disabled students.

But since special needs buses aren’t available in every catchment area, Dixon said it’s not a solution for most parents.

10th Annual

QUILT WALK and CAR SHOW August 18, 2013 10am – 4 pm In the heart of Ladner Village www.ladnerbusiness.com

The recent hot summer weather might be great for catching a tan, but it can spell trouble for Delta Fire and Emergency Services.

The local fire department is advising residents there is currently an extreme fire hazard in Burns Bog, and with more sunshine and dry weather on the way, the situation is expected to worsen.

The bog has had a long history of summer wildfires. In 2005, more than 200 hectares burned for a week and a half, sending a smoky haze to settle on the Lower Mainland. In 1996, 80 hectares of the bog burned, while 40 hectares burned in 1990.

Lightning strikes and the spontaneous combustion of decaying organic matter can spark wildfires in the bog, as can a discarded cigarette.

Deputy chief Ken Sim said no one should be entering the Burns Bog Conservation Area in order to reduce the possibility of a preventable wildfire.

“You need permits to go in there anyway, but it’s especially import-

ant right now,” he said.

Given the difficult terrain in the bog, fighting fires there isn’t easy.

In addition to heat and fatigue, firefighters must contend with unstable footing, falling trees, and even large wasp nests.

“It’s a very dangerous place for us to be,” said Sim. “We always work in pairs and always carry our own emergency medical equipment.”

The peat that makes up much of the bog is flammable, and fire can travel underground before flaring up at the surface. Making matters worse is there is no ready supply of water for firefighters to use.

“It’s a very different kind of fire than a residential structure fire,” said Sim. That’s why every Delta firefighter is specially trained to deal with wildfire situations.

Improvements in the bog’s hydrology over the past decades have resulted in a higher water table, reducing the fire risk somewhat.

But all it takes is one spark to ignite.

“Everyone needs to be careful, especially if forested areas are your playground,” said Sim. The fire department is currently

This past month has been the hottest and driest July on record in South Delta, according to Climate Canada data.

Local climate data, which is measured at Tsawwassen Beach, goes back to 1971.

Not a single drop of moisture has been recorded in the month of July, locally. The previous driest July on record was in 1985, when just 0.6 mm of precipitation were recorded.

This past July was also the warmest on record, with a mean temperature of 19.4 C, beating the old mark of 19.2 C set in 2002 and 2003.

The typical July in South Delta sees close to 35 mm of rain and a daily average temperature of 16.9 C.

monitoring fire conditions in the bog daily.

Much of Southern B.C. is currently under a high or extreme fire hazard rating, with an open fire ban being enforced. The burning of any material, smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width, including burning barrels, is currently prohibited, as is the use of fireworks.

Although the thundering boom of propane cannons echoing across blueberry farms is meant to scare away birds, this summer it has resulted in a flood of angry complaints to the municipality.

But with less than a month left in the blueberry growing season, Delta’s manager of bylaw enforcement Hugh Davies said there’s little that can be done until next season.

“I’ve contacted local representatives with the Blueberry Council and they’ve agreed that we’ll have a meeting in the fall to discuss some of the complaints that we’ve received during this season,” he said during a report to Delta Council on Monday ( July 29).

The blueberry season began in early July and the Corporation has received 33 complaints in that time, mostly related to firing cannons outside of the allowable times. Two tickets for $300 each were issued to farmers.

Delta’s Noise Control Bylaw restricts the use of blueberry cannons from 6:30 a.m. (or sunrise) to noon and 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. (or sunset), and must be placed a minimum of 300 metres away from residential property. The cannons are allowed a single shot once ev-

ery five minutes, or 11 activations generating 33 shots in one hour from multiple shot devices. The cannons must also be relocated every four days.

Davies said most farmers are in compliance but two-thirds of the complaints are related to one property involving three separate incidents. The field is a new 25-hectare blueberry farm near Holly Elementary School, roughly within 300 metres of an existing residential subdivision.

MK Delta to get public hearing newsroom@southdeltaleader.com

Metro Vancouver has decided to send the MK Delta Lands development proposal back to the Corporation of Delta for a public hearing prior to determining its land use designation under the Regional Growth Strategy.

The North Delta application came before a Metro board meeting last Friday ( July 26) and led to a heated discussion about whether the regional government should designate the land use question before residents of the municipality have had the opportunity to weigh in at a public hearing.

At the Metro meeting, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves argued that the proposal should be brought to Delta Council first. But Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said it was unclear how the municipality could proceed without first determining the land use question. In a back and forth with Chair Greg

Moore, she argued that she wasn’t receiving a clear message on what the impact of a public hearing in Delta would be if third reading isn’t granted prior to returning it to Metro.

“The motion simply said that it would not come back to Metro Vancouver until Delta had had its public hearing,” said Jackson on Monday. “And my question then was, well, do you want Delta to also do third reading?”

Jackson said she was disappointed that Metro staff had advised the municipality go through a regional public hearing prior to one in Delta, only to be reversed by the board.

“It looks very poorly on Metro Vancouver in my opinion, it appeared that they didn’t really know what they were doing,” she added.

Delta’s chief administrative officer George Harvie said Monday that the municipality now will meet with the

land area belonging to the bog and should not be developed. An online petition against the application started by the Burns Bog Conservation Society last May has garnered 1,600 signatures.

Municipally, the land is currently zoned I3 Extraction Industrial, and has historically been used for peat extraction operations.

A legal opinion provided to Delta indicated the municipality would have little recourse to prohibit the owner from using for the land for its permitted use should the application be denied.

meters of commercial space on 55 per cent of the land, saving the rest for green space and conservation. The company has also agreed to contribute $10 million toward highway improvements and a roundabout near 64th Avenue.

MK Delta Lands also plans to donate 78 hectares of land west of Highway 91 to Delta so that it can be absorbed into the contiguous Burns Bog Conservation Area bordering the development.

applicant in preparing for a local public hearing.

“They have changed and removed the outlet mall at the last moment so there’s quite a bit of work to do still on the application,” he said.

Prior to a public hearing, Harvie said the Corporation will need a defined number of housing units and exactly what commercial component, if any, is still on the table. It will take a number of months before all of that happens.

In many respects the process will mirror the one undertaken by Tsawwassen Springs when Metro told the developer to go through a local public hearing prior to regional approval.

The application by MK Delta Lands is to re-designate 36 hectares of land east of Highway 91 and south of 72nd Avenue in North Delta to “general urban” from “conservation and recreation.” Metro’s current designation is reserved for lands intended to “protect significant ecological assets.”

He said he has attempted to contact the farmer but has so far been unsuccessful in arranging a meeting.

Delta will now work with the BC Farm Industry Review Board on settling the matter. The possibility of escalating fines for non-compliant farmers is one option open to the municipality.

Although Delta can work with farmers on noise control, bylaws governing the cannons themselves fall under provincial jurisdiction and the Right to Farm Act. The province has indicated to other jurisdictions with similar complaints that it has no plan to change the laws governing blueberry cannons.

“So, you can scream all you want at your municipal councillors, but it’s a provincial government that mandates the use of propane cannons and bird scare devices,” said Coun. Ian Paton, adding he was on the phone most of last week dealing with the issue.

“There’s a lot of ticked off people right now in Delta.”

He, along with Davies and Mayor Lois Jackson took part in a community-organized blueberry cannon forum at the Sundance Inn on Ladner Trunk Road last Wednesday to listen to concerns from the 150 residents who attended.

Many of them said the noise was harming their quality of life.

“You can fire them right until eight o’clock at night, so you can imagine if you’re sitting in your backyard and you’re entertaining some company and having a backyard barbecue and you’re listening to these propane cannons going off every 60 seconds it’s pretty irritating,” said Paton.

Mayor Lois Jackson said the issue isn’t so much the existing farms but the new ones springing up in fields that used to grow peas or potatoes.

“Abutting a blueberry farm or new blueberry crop right next to residential areas, knowing that we’ve got problems with cannons, may be something we have to talk about in the review we’re going to have,” she said.

F

irefighter Kristy Storey, like so many emergency service workers, chose her profession in part because she wanted to help give back to her community by protecting it in the case of an emergency.

Storey’s first taste of firefighting came in the rugged mountains of B.C.’s north, where she was a forest firefighter.

For the past nine years, Storey has been a member of Delta Fire and Emergency Services, and she is one of the many local firefighters who donate their time and a portion of their pay to the Delta Firefighters’ Charitable Society.

Storey is the secretary for the volunteer-run non-profit, which raises funds and redistributes them to many worthy local causes, including Deltassist, Reach Child and Youth Development Society, Delta Hospital Foundation, Delta Boys and Girls Club, Ladner-based B.C. and Alberta Guide Dog Services.

The DFCS boot drive every September raises around $30,000 for local charities, while a recent program allowing Delta firefighters to have regular donations deducted right off their pay cheques has seen 95 per cent take part.

Storey says it’s been great to see so much participation in the charity from her fellow firefighters, especial-

ly because the need has never been greater.

“We’re findingand there’s clickmore on and more need in the community and we’re getting more and more requests for funding so we need to figure out how to raise more funds,” she says.

As a result, Storey and the DFCS are planning their first-ever fundraising gala, which they hope will raise thousands of dollars to benefit Delta charities.

The first annual Harvest Festival takes place Saturday, Sept. 14, featuring an on-site pig roast dinner, with live music, casino entertainment, and a silent auction.

Storey expects the event to draw close to 350 people and hopes it becomes an annual fixture.

“We’re hoping to raise $25,000, if we can hit that we’ll be happy,” she says. “We’re really focusing on keeping the money local, so that could do a lot of good.”

Greystone Stables on 64th Street in Ladner has donated the use of its facilities for the event, and Storey says the plan is to keep with the country theme of the venue.

“There will be a few cowboys hats there, for sure,” she says.

Tickets for the event are $75. For more information about the Harvest Festival or the Delta Firefighters’ Charitable Society, visit www.deltafirefighters.com/charitable

❙ Editorial

MK Delta Lands plan best option to protect Burns Bog With the decision by Metro Vancouver to send the MK Delta Lands development proposal back to the Corporation of Delta, the controversial plan will now go before Deltans in a public hearing.

The proposal calls for 993 residential units and 36,000-square meters of commercial space at the corner of Highway 91 and 72nd Avenue. The 36-hectare lot would be 45 per cent parkland.

MK Delta Lands also plans to donate an additional 78 hectares of land west of Highway 91 to Delta so that it can be absorbed into the contiguous Burns Bog Conservation Area, as well as chipping in $10 million towards highway improvements and a roundabout near 64th Avenue.

However, many of those opposed to the plan would like to see the entire area set aside as part of the conservancy area.

But while Burns Bog supporters want it all, that’s not realistic, and they stand to lose the concessions they have helped gain.

The entire 115-hectare property is currently zoned “extraction industrial.” If MK Delta Lands so chooses, they could clearcut the property and turn it into an asphalt or concrete mixing facility, or even a peat mine.

Obviously, no one in Delta wants this to happen. But there is nothing the public can do to stop MK Delta Lands, or any future owner of the property, if that’s the route they decide to take.

Thankfully, MK Delta Lands is offering a plan that minimizes its footprint and ensures a critical piece of the bog remains protected in perpetuity.

The property that MK Delta Lands is proposing to develop is already surrounded by a highway, arterial roads, and a railway line. The community is designed to be walkable, unlike

many other areas of Delta which don’t even have sidewalks, and will feature services and amenities close at hand, located in a quaint village square.

This proposal is an excellent example of development done right.

If you want to see development done wrong, there are plenty of examples here in Delta. Wasteful, sprawling, car-dependent neighbourhoods, bereft of services, save for the odd strip mall.

The fact is, Delta is growing, and will continue to do so unless Deltans decide to stop having children and the federal government bans immigration.

Since that is unlikely, we must look for ways to accommodate growth in appropriate areas and with developments that use as little of the remaining land base as possible.

While Delta is the largest municipality in the Lower Mainland by area, just a small fraction of that land base has been developed for residential, commercial, or industrial uses.

The Burns Bog Conservation Area already makes up close to 22 per cent of Delta’s land base.

Meanwhile, 42.5 per cent of Delta is dedicated to agricultural production, much of it protected by the Agricultural Land Reserve.

In between, there are expansive parks, such as the Alaksen National Wildlife Area, Boundary Bay Regional Park, and Watershed Municipal, as well as large pieces of regional infrastructure, such as the Vancouver Landfill and Boundary Bay Airport.

As Delta continues to grow, there will be growing pressure to develop ALR lands. What few pockets of developable land remain need to be utilized to their full potential in order to reduce that pressure.

❙ Uncommon Sense

I

How I learned to stop worrying and love the car

f there’s a common complaint among opponents to development in Delta it’s invariably the car.

The old family wagon, the gas guzzler, that annually depreciating four-wheeled liability. We seem to care so much about how our car fits into the world that we’re willing to forgo good neighbourhoods in order to accommodate its need for space.

Ironic, isn’t it? That Ladner predated the automobile, yet seemed so hung up on traffic and parking when it came to approving the final phase of Marina Garden Estates.

Don’t like the traffic? Then don’t be part of the traffic.

Ride your bike, take public transit or–and God forbid this ever happen–walk to your destination.

There are few things more hypocritical than whining about traffic whilst one happens to be one of the participants in said traffic jam.

Having said that, it’s not always possible to find alternative modes of transportation. I understand that and sympathize. The Massey Tunnel, for instance, is a dark and nefarious zone of car purgatory, where traffic spirits go to be crushed after a long day. But then, is it any surprise it was built back when our worship of the automobile, and all of its attendant freedom-giving virtues, were sung from up on high by all of humanity?

The thing is, Delta may be a rural landscape still requiring a vehicle for traversing, but our newest communities

are being built with consideration for the lonely pedestrian.

Regardless of whether you support Tsawwassen’s Southlands application, it’s undeniably biker and hiker friendly. A quiet, rural-residential neighourhood with community gardens linked by pedestrian walkways and bike paths. This is the sort of forward-thinking needed to remove us from our car-first mentality.

No longer should we worry about finding the most spacious avenues for it to cruise, the most generous of street parking, and most luxurious twin garages to protect its sensitive metal skin. We’ve moved past the drive-thru, drive-in era.

Let’s stop thinking about what our car needs and start thinking about what we need: bike and pedestrian-friendly corridors linking residential to recreation and green spaces in an ecologically and environmentally sustainable manner.

This ain’t no hippy talk, neither. Deep down I think we’re all sick of being slaves to the machine, especially when the retail price of black gold is outstripping the cost of putting milk on the table.

I’m not calling for the abolition of cars. We all like those Sunday drives and there’s really only way to get to Osoyoos.

But we shouldn’t put cars ahead of people when we’re planning our communities.

Letters to the editor Majority still opposed to Southlands In [the July 26 edition of the South Delta Leader], I saw three items related to the Southlands, all three of which were heavily biased in favour of development of the Southlands.

Newspapers should fairly report on and publish all sides of a story, not just those that match up with the editorial opinion. You can’t tell me that all of the letters to the editor recently received have been in favour of development, yet that is the one you chose to publish.

Opposition or approval fluctuate over time. The 51 per cent in favour of development as reported in Mr. McNair’s article is a representation of only a small

cross-section of time. 40 years of opposition far outweighs the last several months, any day.

Further, for the editorial column to say that it is mostly retired people with time to spare that are opposed is ridiculous. The demographic that stands to lose the most (if this proceeds) is actually the young families.

I could go into more detail, but I’m a part of one of these “young families too busy picking up kids and working late” that you refer to in your editorial. You are welcome to your editorial opinion, but please don’t make it seem like you are speaking on behalf of everyone with your comments and be sure to give equal time to both sides.

SFPR will ruin S. Delta

R. Thompson Delta

Don Moore Tsawwassen

I fully concur with the [letter] about the SFPR screwing Tsawwassen (Letters to the Editor, July 26, 2013) and virtually all South Delta residents. The numerous one-lane diversions - both north and south - will increase traffic to untenable levels, especially with the exponential expansion (Tsawwassen Springs, Tsawwassen First Nation, Southlands) upon us.

These planned one-lane diversion routes and re-routing of tunnel traffic represent unacceptable breach of public trust and civil engineering failure.

Should this highway open as planned Mayor Jackson and MP Findlay will never live this down.

❙ B.C. Views Tom Fletcher Columnist

NDP soul searching going nowhere

B

.C. NDP president Moe Sihota says an external review of the party’s performance in the May election will “look very much at the DNA of the NDP.” Early signs are not encouraging. Start with the five-member panel announced to conduct the review. The required “labour” representation is in the person of Cindy Oliver, president of the union representing college and university instructors, and Andy Ross, ex-president of COPE 378, which represents BC Hydro employees among others.

Another appointee is NDP MP Jinny Sims, a former president of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. If the party wants to further solidify its image as a lobby group for pension-subsidized government unions, it’s off to a great start.

The terms of reference defy parody. In addition to unions, the panel required “more than one woman.” A sub-committee may be struck, if it has representation from “youth, women, labour, visible minority, LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning).” I presume the party’s lengthy anti-harassment policy will be read out to begin all meetings.

Once they finally get down to business, the list of election campaign details they must examine is long. In addition to that, they must review “stakeholder relations including community leaders, business, social movement, ethnic communities, environmental movement, affiliated unions and the labour movement.”

One of the excuses offered by leader Adrian Dix for the party’s defeat was the loss of 40,000 jobs in the B.C. forest industry. The suggestion is that those people left for Alberta, and if they were still here, they would have voted NDP. That presumed solidarity has never existed in the private sector, and in fact the highest-paid union workers have good reason to vote for lower taxes. To confirm B.C. and Canada’s “progressive” tax system, all they have to do is look at their pay stubs.

The mandate for this review mentions not one actual public policy issue. Here’s one the committee might kick around.

Having lost the 2009 election campaigning against the carbon tax, the NDP is now calling for it to be increased and extended to greenhouse gases produced by industrial process emissions.

A simple example is a cement kiln, which burns fuel to reach the temperature at which the components are partially burned and cement is produced. Cement manufacturers pay carbon tax on the fuel, whether it’s natural gas or shredded tires, but not on the process.

B.C. cement makers are already pleading for relief, because the fuel-intensive process puts them at a price disadvantage with U.S. and Chinese producers.

Further unilateral tax action by B.C. would only further increase imports, and potentially push B.C. firms out of business. Goodbye unionized private sector jobs.

Dix’s last foray in question period before the summer legislature session adjourned was a demand for the government to order BC Ferries to build its next three ships in B.C. Leave aside the NDP’s uncritical zeal for state control, and their ill-fated experiment with aluminum fast ferries. The most likely bidder for this work is Seaspan, with shipyards in Esquimalt and North Vancouver.

Seaspan is hiring almost 2,000 people to build ships for the Royal Canadian Navy and Coast Guard. It will be flat out to get that done, and the company president can’t yet say if it has the capacity and skilled labour to bid on BC Ferries ships too.

Seaspan has to operate in the real world of limited resources. So does the NDP, but it’s not clear if they can find a way out of their thicket of special interests and stale economic notions.

Massey Tunnel tolls needed now Re: Massey Tunnel Replacement a tough sell for Delta, July, 26, 2013.

Richmond mayor Malcolm Brodie has it right regarding a Massey Tunnel replacement.

Obviously, the aging tunnel will have to be replaced, but to shift the congestion to north of a new larger tunnel/bridge makes no sense. The Oak street and Knight

street corridors are already full in peak times. The only answer is reduced traffic. If everyone that makes daily return trips through the tunnel would cut one return trip per week by using transit or carpooling, there would be a 20 per cent reduction in congestion daily. The only way that users will consider an alternative, is to hit

Reader poll

them in the pocketbook.

We should start tolling the tunnel immediately. Not only will it begin building an eventual replacement fund, but it will make tunnel users consider how they can make a positive impact on traffic.

❙ Ladner’s Chinatown was destroyed by fire on July 6, 1929, when 15 buildings burnt to the ground. Today a small plaque next to the River West condominiums commemorates the community. Delta Museum and Archives

Ladner’s forgotten Chinatown Few traces remain of the community of Chinese cannery workers who lived along Ladner’s waterfront a century ago Adrian MacNair

reporter

adrian@southdeltaleader.com

H

idden along a pathway on the east side of the River West condominiums in Ladner is a tiny, weathered piece of cracking concrete.

At first glance, it looks like nothing special.

But if you crouch down in the garden dirt, you will find a fading plaque obscured by hedges which tells of the history of a forgotten people.

It tells of Ladner’s lost Chinatown.

At one time home to more than 350 Chinese cannery workers, washermen, and store owners, little remains of the history of Chinatown.

Many of B.C.’s first Chinese settlers came from San Francisco in 1858 for the Fraser River gold rush, but most came under contract from China to work in canneries or the railway.

The demise of the Qing dynasty in China led to great poverty and an exodus of southern Chinese, mostly men, looking for work across the Pacific.

Some of these workers came to Ladner, where

they built a dozen or so wooden shacks on the dyke near the entrance to Ladner Harbour. Opium dens were so common, the municipality charged vendors $25 per half year for a license in 1885, according to documents kept by the Delta Museum and Archives.

But there was friction between the European and Chinese communities, as the local farmers and fishermen struggled to adjust to the customs and traditions of these men from the Far East.

The drama was played out in the pages of the newspapers of the day.

The Delta News wrote on Feb. 28, 1903, that gambling was, “one of the many vices peculiar to Chinamen.

“But when the chinks, emboldened by the indifference of the authorities and moralists, start games in which white men take part, we think it is about time the general public knew about it.”

Gambling and serving alcohol to minors were

just a few of the accusations made about Chinatown by the white community.

But curiously it was the Chinese New Year and its impressive fireworks displays that seemed to spark interest in Chinese culture.

On Aug. 9, 1913, The Delta Times wrote a story about the “curious ceremonies of Celestials.”

The story referred to the historical practice of the Chinese of exhuming the bones from Boundary Bay Cemetery and shipping them back to China for proper burial under their own ceremonial traditions.

A superstitious people, after bad winds the Chinese would collect money to put food on the graves and feed the “hungry spirits.” This had to be one time to get the entire cannery back to work when fearful workers claimed their dead colleague had come back to life and cooked them breakfast.

One of the more colourful members of Chinatown was Ah Han, a Chinese house boy in the

London household who was simply known to Ladner as “Smiley.”

Born in 1860, Smiley arrived from China to work on the railroad, eventually making his way to Ladner seeking work in the canneries.

“He was a real character,” said Phyllis London during an interview in 1981. “He knew everybody’s business and everybody’s history.”

According to Landing at Ladner (Hutcherson, W. 1982), Smiley was so named for “always having a leer on his face as he chattered away in broken English.”

Known as the town gossip, it was said that if a body sneezed in East Delta, the folks on Westham Island soon heard about it.

“It’s amazing how the local paper managed to compete against so much unsubscribed news.”

Any time he was caught in a fib the old man would show his gums through a crooked smile and accuse the listener of “too much talky-talk and no worky-work.”

By the time the Lowe family arrived in Ladner, Chinatown was long gone. But like many of Ladner’s lost members of Chinatown, Cheung Park Lowe paid the Chinese Head Tax to get into Canada.

His son, John “Johnny” Wing Lowe came to Ladner in 1953 to work on his uncle’s farm. Back then, Chinese farmers and businessmen were still struggling to find a place in the predominantly white and Christian community of Ladner.

Johnny saved up enough money from working on his uncle’s farm that he was able to buy a truck to start a vegetable peddling business.

“He would drive his truck to housewives all the way from East Delta to Tsawwassen,” said his daughter Bonnie Leung.

Johnny was married in 1963 and had four children, Richard, Robert, Bonnie, and Donna (who passed away in 1973). That year he opened a vegetable store on the corner of Ladner Trunk Road and Arthur Drive called Ladner Grocery. But everybody in Ladner would come to simply call it “Johnny’s corner.”

“Before cell phones when somebody was planning to meet they would say, let’s meet at Johnny’s,” said Bonnie.

“It was the community that named it that.”

Johnny ran the store until he retired in 1994 and sold the business. Although he passed away in 2007, the family held on to the land and in 2010 Robert demolished the old building and constructed a new one that includes his new Stir Coffee business. Many older residents of Ladner stop in just to pay their respects and look at old photographs on the wall.

“There’s quite a few who remember or know the history,” said Robert, adding it’s nice to talk to people who knew his parents when they were young.

Like many Ladner residents, the Lowes and Chungs said they weren’t aware a plaque remembering Chinatown even exists, or if they did they had forgotten. They said it would be nice to see the contributions of the Chinese settlers of Ladner recognized in a more prominent location, lest that history be forgotten by all.

Perhaps Ladner’s best known Chinese settler was Mor Ping, or Chung Chuck, who immigrated to Ladner in 1909 with his father. In 1929 he bought land at the west end of Westham Street (now 48th Avenue) and farmed there until the mid-1980s. In the late 1920s the potato marketing board made regulations to try and eliminate potato farmers in the Lower Mainland.

Chung Chuck protested and became a well-known potato bootlegger, landing him in court many times.

His son Winch Chung said his father believed in hard work and education.

“We worked hard when we were young,” said Winch, who is now 71. “We were farmers.”

He also believed in standing up for what was right, no matter the cost.

“Anything that came to his mind that he felt was not right, he was going to challenge it in court,” recalled Winch’s wife, Janet.

In the mid-1970s, Chung Chuck built a houseboat and marina on the riverfront of his property which led to the infamous 1977 standoff between the police and Chung Chuck, who sat at the edge of his property holding a shotgun.

Not just farmers, Chung Chuck’s other son Napoleon has been a fisherman in Ladner for more than 50 years.

Today, the family runs Chung’s Fish and Chips restaurant on Delta Street.

Winch said when the family sold the land to the developers for River West condominiums they asked it be named after his father. It never happened.

DE

Smiley’s one fear in life was being buried in a cedar box instead of being shipped to China. When he died in 1942 his first Ladner employer, the Rich family, fulfilled his wish.

On July 6, 1929, a great fire destroyed every building in Chinatown on both sides of the dyke, doing $10,000 in damage.

“Fanned by a tremendous wind the fire burned like lightning through the dry wood and the damage was all done before the fire fighting equipment of Vancouver could reach the scene,” wrote a local newspaper at the time.

Most of the displaced Chinese residents moved to Vancouver that year. But there are theories that is not the reason Chinatown disappeared altogether.

According to an interview with Phyllis London in 1986, there were few women in Chinatown (women generally weren’t allowed to immigrate to Canada then) and the population further dwindled with the invention of the “Iron Chink”–a machine invented in 1903 for gutting fish in canneries. The closure of at least five Delta canneries prior to 1929 contributed to the decline. Even before the great fire, London said most of the buildings in Chinatown were empty.

Grocery giant Loblaw buys Shoppers Drug Mart A $12.4-billion deal by grocery giant Loblaw to snap up Shoppers Drug Mart may further reduce retail competition in B.C. Officials with the two firms denied that will happen, but the transaction does put another big chunk of B.C.’s retail landscape under the control of a single parent company.

In B.C., Loblaw operates or fran-

chises dozens of stores under the Real Canadian Superstore, Extra Foods, T&T Supermarket and NoFrills brands, among others.

Its acquisition of Shoppers and its smaller urban stores extends Loblaw’s footprint into more densely populated B.C. markets.

Both firms say the deal will yield big benefits, including a bigger national retailing network for the

more than 1,200 Shoppers outlets.

Shoppers Drug Mart will keep its brand name and operate as a division of Loblaw. Officials promised they won’t close stores or eliminate loyalty points, adding the Shoppers Optimum and PC Plus loyalty programs will be cross-marketed across the group.

The deal still must be approved by shareholders.

❙ Andrea O’Leary new store, Coastal Olive Oil in Tsawwassen, is introducing the community to a whole new world of imported olive oils and balsamic vinegars that offers countless cooking opportunities.

Olive the finest of oils

Tsawwassen store has numerous olive oils from around the world

T

ucked away near the corner of 12th Avenue and 56th Street is a brand new store that sells 40 different varieties of olive oil and balsamic vinegars from around the world.

Shoppers can taste test any of the oils and vinegars prior to buying them, either in a cup or by soaking it up in sourdough bread.

Coastal Olive Oil owner Andrea O’Leary said people are always taking a risk when going to the grocery store to but a new olive oil without seeing if they like the flavour. But at her store the philosophy is try it before you buy it.

“They can make an informed choice on what they’re buying,” says Andrea, originally from Nova Scotia.

Part of the reason for her store’s name is because of that switch from the east coast to the west side.

Another reason she wanted to open her own shop was her discovery of a New Bruinswick-based company called Olivier Soapery, which produces a line of all-natural soaps and skin creams.

Andrea wanted to be the first to introduce

the product in Western Canada.

“So, it was the perfect marriage of the two,” she says.

Although Andrea has always cooked with olive oil for dishes, salads, and pastas, her journey into olive oil really began a few years ago when her cousin visited Nova Scotia.

Michaelanne Buckley went into a store in Halifax called Liquid Gold and fell in love with the idea of a shop dedicated to premium olive oils. She opened Vancouver’s first olive oil store on Broadway Avenue in Vancouver in 2011.

“Being supportive of family I would drive in and get my oils and vinegars from her store,” she says.

Michaelanne’s passion for the business was clearly infectious. Andrea was enamoured with all the different flavours available in olive oils, and began studying the science behind their health benefits.

“A lot of people don’t know olive oil is fruit juice and it has health properties over time,” she says.

In order to get the freshest product, her supplier Veronica Foods will source from countries in the Northern Hemisphere in one shipment (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.) and

For this week’s Local Flavour, Andrea tried a Chipotle-Serrano Rib-eye steak recipe provided by Veronica Foods. The company employs a chef to try recipes with different flavours of olive oil and then shares them with retail stores like Coastal Olive Oil. Andrea said her goal is to put recipes from different customers who visit her store up on her website.

Because the Chipotle olive oil has a spicey kick to it, Andrea recommends using a little Tahitian vanilla balsamic to create a bit of a sweet and spicy combination.

But the choice is ultimately up to you.

“One person might really have a taste for blueberry and another might have a taste for pomegranate,” she says. “You just never know.”

Coastal Olive Oils is located at 1236 56 St. in Tsawwassen. Visit them for a taste test.

The long hot summer days of July have seen in a spike in the number of drowning deaths around B.C. There have been 43 drowning deaths so far in 2013, up from 25 in the same period as 2012, BC Stats reported Monday.

An analysis by the B.C. Coroners Service found that from 2008 to 2012, half of all drowning victims were involved in recreation-

Crime declines, B.C. third

al activities, and nearly 60 per cent happened between May and August.

The B.C. Interior had the largest proportion of drowning deaths, 35.5 per cent, followed by Vancouver Island with 24.4 per cent.

Five per cent of drownings occurred on the job, while the rest were for situations such as vehicle accidents, falls into water and deaths in bathtubs. The likeliest age groups are 20 to 29 (20.9 per cent of deaths) and 50 to 59 (19.7 per cent).7.3125" X 10"

Record turnout for bog jog ❙ Staff writer newsroom@southdeltaleader.com

Close to 200 runners came out to the Delta Nature Reserve on Sunday for the Burns Bog Conservation Society’s annual Jog for the Bog & International Bog Day event.

The turnout for 5/10km run/walk was the biggest on record, say organizers.

Chris Baotez had the fastest time of the day, completing the 10km trail run in 36 minutes and one second. Jerry Kroll had the fastest time in the 5 km race, with a time of 21 minutes and 58 seconds.

The event was a fundraiser to help maintain the Delta Nature Reserve’s boardwalk and fund the Burns Bog Conservation Society’s educational programs.

More than 50,000 people annually explore the Delta Nature Reserve’s boardwalks. The park is the only part of the 40 sq. km Burns Bog that is open and accessible to the public.

At 3,000 ha, it is the largest undeveloped urban wilderness in North America, and is home to rare and endangered species like the southern red-backed vole, and the greater sandhill crane.

The Burns Bog Conservation Society takes over 2,500 students a year on educational tours of Burns Bog. The Society also has public tours the third Saturday of every month covering the history and uses of the plants and animals that live in Burns Bog, and what makes a raised peatbog so unique and important.

For more information, visit www.burnsbog.org

Friday, Friday, August August 2, 2, 2013 2013 South South Delta Delta Leader Leader ❙ The Canada Summer Games begin next week in Sherbrooke, Que. with eight Delta athletes representing B.C. and our community. The Delta Sports Council gave a send off to the athletes Tuesday in Ladner at Delta Gymnastics. Pictured from left: rowing brothers Maxwell and Aaron Lattimer, beach volleyball sisters Megan and Nicole McNamara, basketball star Ryan Cowley, soccer players Jasmine Mander (right), Sessen Stevens (centre) and Alessia Azermadhi (cutting the cake) with softball coach Gord Collings. Adrian MacNair photo

Ladner athlete masters track Malcolm Smillie may be getting on in years, but he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Smillie competed last weekend at the Canadian Masters track and field Championships in Regina, taking home gold in 800-metre and 1,500-metre track events in the

50-54 age group.

The Ladner-based running coach previously won gold at the 2005 World Masters Games in the 1,500-metre, and silver in the 800-metre, and has been running competitively for more than three decades.

MAMU is coming This summer MAMU could be coming to your neighbourhood. In fact, there’ll be two Mobile Air Monitoring Units (MAMUs) in the South Delta/ Point Roberts area to assist with on-going measurements of air quality.

Westshore has had the MAMUs built on a trailer chassis so they can be easily relocated.

Each has built-in solar panels that generate 700 watts of electricity so they can operate on a stand-alone basis; or they can be plugged into a local power supply.

Westshore Terminals has initiated the MAMU program in order to collect data of any dust fall in the area, which has long been a topic of discussion in the community. Previous spot testing has often concluded that the culprit is not coal dust; however, this new initiative will provide continuous monitoring over a period of time to produce more detailed information.

To do their job thoroughly, the units may need to stay in one location for several months in order to get a good cross section of any variations of air quality. The program will be under the direction of qualified Levelton air quality technicians who will receive readings via a wireless modem so they can analyze the data and report on the results.

If you see a MAMU around, treat it with care – it’s working for our community.

Cater gets national team nod Delta pitcher Jocelyn Cater will be headed to the Pan-American Championships Aug. 10-18 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, after being selected by Softball Canada for the national women’s team.

Cater is one of four B.C. players on the team, which includes North Delta native Jenn Yee. Cater pitched in three games at the recent Scotiabank Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championship at Surrey’s Softball City, taking a loss in her only decision. She had three strikeouts in 5.1 innings pitched.

The Pan-American championship will serve as a qualifier for the World Championships in Haarlem, Netherlands in the summer of 2014. Canada will prepare for the tournament by competing in the Francisco ‘Paco’ Reyes Cup Aug. 4-9, also in Puerto Rico. They will compete against Argentina, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the United States.

Team Canada is coming off a pair of fourth place finishes at the US World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City, and the Canadian Open.

Hannoun shortlisted for Team B.C. Delta’s Dante Hannoun has made the shortlist for BC Hockey’s U-16 2013 Team B.C. roster.

Hannoun, who played last season for the North Shore Winter Club’s

bantam A1 team, is one of 16 forwards competing for one of the 12 available positions.

Hannoun tallied 151 points (63 goals and 88 assists) in 63 games with a +114 rating as captain of the North Shore, leading the team to the 2013 provincial Bantam Tier 1 championship and a silver medal at the 2013 Western Canada Bantam Championship.

The Victoria Royals used its first pick to select Dante Hannoun 11th overall The 5-foot-6, 145-pound forward was selected 11th overall by the Victoria Royals in the first round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft in May. In all, 27 players were named to the Team B.C. shortlist, and will now be evaluated by BC Hockey coaching staff over the course of the hockey season, with the roster announced in October. Team B.C. will be competing in the 2013 Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup, taking place Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 in Calgary.

Battison takes silver Tsawwassen’s Anna Battison’s took home a silver medal from the U-18 A Provincial Girls’ Fastpitch Championship, hosted last weekend at the Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Battison backstopped the Surrey Storm 95 at catcher, helping the team to finish the round robin portion of the tournament with a

You paid how much!?

perfect 4-0 record, and advance to the playoffs as the No. 1 seed.

On the final day of play, the Storm defeated the Victoria Devils 96 squad twice, by scores of 13-5 and 10-3, to advance to the final.

There they met the White Rock Renegades 95, who came out on top 4-2 to hand the Storm their only loss of the tourney.

Battison will be playing softball for the Eagles at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at Daytona Beach, Florida, next season.
