Gamble isn’t paying off

Despite supporting expanded gaming, community groups have seen grants disappear BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

The loss of gaming money for all sorts of community groups, from service clubs to arts and environmental organizations, will have a devastating impact. That’s what Burns Bog Conservation Society president Eliza Olson had to say about the loss of provincial government grants organizations had depended on for years to provide services.

Olson, whose society is about to lose $30,000 in gaming money, equaling about 15 per cent of its budget, was recently named to the board of the B.C. Association for Charitable Gaming, which represents about 1,000 non-profit community service organizations. She was on hand with others in the association at a rally last Thursday on the steps of city hall in Vancouver, calling on council not to approve an application for a proposed casino until the province

restores the 33 per cent share of gaming revenues that had been promised in a memorandum of agreement signed a decade ago. The association, noting gaming revenues have continued to increase while charities have been shortchanged, issued an open letter to Housing and Social Development Minister Rich Coleman, the minister also responsible for gaming. It states B.C. charities actively supported and enabled the expansion of

gambling, mistakenly believing it would bring them a share of the proceeds. Earlier this year Coleman announced that arts, culture and sports groups for adults, along with environmental organizations, wouldn’t receive any grant money from the B.C. government. Only a few organizations will continue to receive funding, such as search and rescue groups or volunteer See GAMING page 3

Delta holds firm on pay parking Fraser Health representatives renew discussions over Delta Hospital, but civic politicians cool to the idea BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta council has no plan to allow Fraser Health to implement pay parking at Delta Hospital. Representatives from the health region recently made a presentation on the issue to civic politicians at municipal hall. Community planning director Tom Leathem said FHA representatives tried to make their case to have pay parking at the hospital, noting every other hospital in the health region has pay parking. Leathem said councillors had concerns not only about pay parking at the Ladner hospital, but also how it would impact the adjacent Delta Hospice care centre and other facilities, including the Ladner Leisure Centre. Earlier this year, Delta council made a pre-emptive strike by passing a bylaw banning pay parking at Delta Hospital. Politicians gave final reading to a bylaw that was originally introduced six years earlier but never enacted. When the bylaw was passed, CAO George Harvie said his office and Mayor Lois Jackson received inquiries from the health authority about revenue opportunities, including the possibility of introducing pay parking. He said a bylaw needed to be in place because the health authority had the ability to install parking meters. If a bylaw was passed after meters were installed, the meters could have remained. “This would be an unfair tax requirement on family and patients using our hospital,” Harvie said at the

MLA calls on province to help farmers

Huntington wants Victoria to join forces with Ottawa to address disastrous situation BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington is calling on the provincial government to provide relief for farmers in Delta and throughout the Fraser Valley impacted by heavy rain. “Rain has saturated the fields and has prevented farmers in Delta from getting their harvesting equipment into the fields.

GAMING from page 1 fire departments. The province said it’s allocating $120 million for gaming grants in 2010/11. Olson told the Optimist as far Delta is concerned, every service club, including the Rotary, Lions and Elks, the Delta Arts Council as well as every other nonprofit that received gaming funds is affected. The non-profits in Delta are at an even greater risk than those in Richmond, Surrey or Vancouver because this municipality does not receive any gaming funds from casinos, she

said. “We used to get funding for education and International Bog Day ... I don’t know how we can do that now because we don’t even get financial support from Delta,” said Olson. “The government has given preference to farming associations and I don’t have a problem with that, but what about the rest of us? It is not just the arts people who are going to be impacted, it’s huge,” she said. Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society

Growers are predicting most of their crops will have to be left in the ground,” Huntington said. Saying it’s shaping up to be the most disastrous season in 80 years, Huntington said farmers need assurance the province will participate in the Agricultural Recovery Program, which is cost shared 40 per cent by the province and 60 per cent by the federal government.

Huntington, noting she has spoken to Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson, said although many farmers have crop insurance, that would only cover a portion of their losses. A spokesperson with the ministry last week told the Optimist a significant portion of the potato industry is insured in the 2010 Production Insurance Program — 29 growers, 4,200 acres and nearly $8

million in coverage. Most major potato and vegetable producers are also enrolled in the 2010 AgriStability program. AgriStability protects a farmer from farm income declines, including when there is a production loss. AgriStability participants can choose to apply now for interim payments to assist with cash flow. Noting the program only covers a percentage

of losses, longtime Delta farmer Pete Guichon told the Optimist last week local farmers are hoping the province initiates the joint provincial-federal recovery program. At Delta council’s weekly meeting Monday evening, Coun. Ian Paton, who’s also a farmer in Ladner, said Delta farmers and representatives from BCfresh were to meet with Thomson yesterday.

(OWL) executive director Bev Day said it’s been a struggle for her organization, which is only staying afloat thanks to student fundraisers and donations from the community, including a bequeathment. Day said it’s ridiculous her group gets referrals from the government to rescue injured birds of prey but gets no support for the valuable service. “They phone us at all hours of the day and night on their emergency numbers and they connect us to the people making the call, yet those government people are paid union wages for being there tak-

“It’s yet another lie to the public and it’s completely inappropriate. I don’t want government controlled gaming in this province under false pretenses. Government sponsored gaming is corrupting government, a corruption sponsored by government,” she said. Coleman’s ministry issued a statement last year regarding gaming grants, noting the government is facing unprecedented economic times that require some difficult decisions. As a result, government undertook a review of “discretionary grants” to ensure core services and priorities remained funded.

Birders have been flocking to Westham Island’s Reifel Bird Sanctuary after a rare sighting of a wood sandpiper over the last week. It’s believed this is only the third sighting on record of the bird in Canada. The wood sandpiper normally migrates south along the Asia side of the Pacific Ocean. Sanctuary manager Kathleen Fry said there was a group of about 30 out on Sunday with long lenses trying to catch a glimpse of the sandpiper. Thirteen birders with the Delta Nats Casual Birding group were there Monday morning but were not able to see the sandpiper.

The B.C. Community Achievement Awards, a program that honours excellence in community service, is looking for 2010 nominees. Two hundred and fortyeight British Columbians have received awards in such fields as arts, culture, sports, education, health care, environment, public life and volunteerism. MLA Vicki Huntington is encouraging residents of Delta South to consider nominating someone in our community who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to serve. She says Delta South is full of many inspirational figures, people who have lived lives of high achievement and success, who take pride in our community. Nomination forms are available at Huntington’s Delta South constituency office or can be downloaded from www.bcachievement.com/community/info. php. Nominations close Nov. 15.

The Delta Hospital Foundation is in danger of losing one of its community fundraisers, a cèilidh barn dance organized by the Doghouse folk band, unless the community boosts its support for the event. Doghouse began organizing fundraising events for the community in 2006 and past dances have raised over $1,500 for the foundation. The foundation, which raises money to provide the best health care at Delta Hospital, hopes for better attendance this year so as not to lose the key community fundraiser. This year’s dance is on Saturday at the Ladner Community Centre at 7:30 p.m. Without a larger attendance, it’s not viable to host such a fundraiser. Last year the event was cancelled due to low ticket sales, which is why this year, if it has the same low participation, it will be the last. Doghouse manager Linda Edwards expressed concern over this possibly being the last year: “It has been an interesting experiment, trying to introduce this type of dancing and music to the people of Delta while trying to give back to the hospital. I still believe that a cèilidh is a great way of fundraising, but it helps if you have your own venue. We could still continue the

Friday, Nov. 5 at the Delta Town & Country Inn in Ladner. The foundation was formed in the fall of 2007 with the goal of raising awareness about the lack of research done in the area of pediatric brain cancer and to raise money to help fund research into treating the disease. It was established in memory of Hannah Hatlen, a little girl who was struck down at a young age by a rare but deadly form of cancer. In mid-October 2005, Hannah was a typical fouryear-old. However, a sudden onset of symptoms — headache, dizziness, weakness and nausea — prompted her parents to take her to the doctor, who recommended a trip B.C. Children’s Hospital. There a few hours later, Hannah was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a tumour that grows in the brain stem. DIPG only strikes young children — usually those between the ages of four and 10 — and most die

within a year. Because of the location and the diffuse nature of DIPG tumours, surgery is not an option and the disease is mostly resistant to traditional chemotherapy and other treatments. Hannah had three rounds of chemotherapy during her fight. The treatment wasn’t enough and the disease claimed her life on Oct. 31, 2006. Since it was established, the Hannah’s Heroes Foundation has continued to raise money to fund research to look for more effective treatments and a cure for this disease as well as push for more awareness. Over the past 20 years, the survival rate for nearly all cancers has gone up, with the exception of pediatric brain tumours. The foundation has already made significant donations, including $25,000 during the annual B.C. Children’s Hospital Miracle Weekend event in June and $35,000 in 2009 to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation to

Hannah Hatlen establish a research fellowship with a focus on pediatric brain tumours. This year’s Fall Fundraiser will include a silent auction, dinner and entertainment. Auction items include a signed Sidney Crosby Penguins jersey, a signed Vancouver Whitecaps jersey and a signed blocker and glove from Roberto Luongo. The foundation is looking for donations of other auction items as well. The event starts at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $30 and can be purchased at The RunInn and Albany Books in Tsawwassen or online through the foundation’s website at www.hannahsheroes.com. Anyone wishing to donate an auction item can contact Tore Hatlen at torehatlen@hannahsheroes.com or 604-816-2647.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW One never joins a party because the structure is too confining. Another leaves the nest because party views conflict with the wishes of his constituents. A third is kicked out of caucus after making critical comments about the leader. The independent ranks in B.C.’s legislature have been bolstered in recent months to now total three, but it remains to be seen if the stance taken by Delta South’s Vicki Huntington is catching on or it’s just the usual bump in the road for provincial politics. Every term there seems to be at least one or two MLAs that end up sitting as independents after parting ways with caucus, either by their choosing or that of their parties. Given the size of the legislature and the contentious nature of politics, the occasional falling out is inevitable, so the fact Blair Lekstrom and Bob Simpson have joined Huntington on the outside looking in isn’t surprising. Often times independence is forced upon MLAs because of some transgression that draws the ire of the leader and lands the offender in purgatory. It’s customary for these miscreants to either rejoin the fold after the necessary time out or eventually succumb to the harshness of the political wilderness, never to be heard from again. Either way, the party structure endures. Could this time be any different? It’s hard to believe so given history in Victoria, but change has to start somewhere and it’s worth noting that none of these three independents did anything more than speak their mind or speak up on behalf of their constituents, actions that should hardly qualify as sins in a democratic society. What’s more, Lekstrom, who gave up a cabinet post to side with his constituents, not government colleagues, when it came to the HST, told Optimist reporter Sandor Gyarmati last week that he doesn’t plan to return to the Liberals, suggesting he’ll run for re-election as an independent in the Peace River South riding he has represented since 2001. A legislature devoid of parties is a pipe dream, to say nothing of a logistical nightmare, but a system where more free votes allow politicians to actually represent the people who elected them would be a noble goal. Huntington bucked history by becoming the first independent to be elected in more than half a century, so perhaps she can also be a catalyst for change in the capital. It’s no secret that a rigid system that puts party ahead of public interest could do with an overhaul.

Tread carefully because zonks lurking behind those curtains SYLVIA BISHOP

COMMUNITY COMMENT What do Let’s Make a Deal, the Tsawwassen Area Plan and South Fraser Perimeter Road have in common? Let’s connect the dots. In the long-running game show Let’s Make a Deal, deals are offered to members of the audience by the host. The contestants usually have to weigh the possibility of an offer being for a valuable prize, or an undesirable item, referred to as a “zonk.” Major prizes and zonks are often found behind one of three curtains. So let’s play along. Behind Curtain #1 is the Tsawwassen Area Plan bylaw. According to figures in the bylaw, land use designations and housing types allow for an additional 9,544 people in Tsawwassen over the next 10 years. With a current population of 21,230, that’s a population increase of 44 per cent!

The bylaw also includes an assumption, without explaining where the assumption comes from, that only 30 per cent of development potential will take place over that time period. Do we breathe a sigh of relief or do we become a bit suspicious? On the one hand, we have huge growth potential as stated in the bylaw, but on the other hand, an assumption in the same bylaw leads us to believe that only some development will occur. Prize or zonk? Behind Curtain #2 is Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy, which anticipates a population growth for all of Delta at 10,000 in the next 10 years. That’s a population increase of 10 per cent, bringing us to a population total of 109,000 by 2021. Contestants, or rather residents, may notice that behind Curtain #1 the development capacity number for Tsawwassen is almost the same number as behind Curtain #2, which is for all of Delta. Prize or zonk? Behind Curtain #3 is the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which will move mainly cars, not trucks, along an east/west corridor from South Delta to Pitt Meadows. Even while

this freeway is being preloaded, tracts of land along the freeway are being bought, re-zoned and flipped for huge profit. In many cases, the land is farmland. Can development be far behind? Using the Ministry of Transportation’s own figures, this paper reported in August that only about 600 truck trips of a 15,600 daily total would divert to the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Since the freeway is not going to be redirecting all those trucks off the highway as previously pitched to us by the government, but is instead, going to provide more roadways for cars, can we safely conclude that nothing but development is slated for areas south of the Fraser River and the freeway is just part of the infrastructure? Prize or zonk? The push for development and the infrastructure to support it has been a long-standing agenda item. Taxpayers are on the hook for it and we haven’t been given all of the information up front. The Tsawwassen Area Plan public hearing is Oct. 26. There is more at stake than the highlights in the corporation’s leaflet sent last week reveal. Prize or zonk? It’s your call.

to justify SkyTrain in corridor after corridor, and has thus succeeded in keeping its proprietary rail system expanding.” TransLink’s regional transit planning is “fruit of the poisonous tree,” which all planning is done to favour a SkyTrain outcome. Ever increasing taxes will be the result of this perverse planning from transit mandarins in their expensive ivory towers on Kingsway. Until regional mayors draw a line in the sand and say no more SkyTrain, build with light rail instead, property taxes, gas taxes and general taxes will rise on an annual basis until the Lower Mainland will tax itself out of existence. The question is: Are regional mayors up to the task? Malcolm Johnston Light Rail Committee

taxpayers’ money to adjust some of its road turns to accommodate them? Should Delta council not have had a public hearing before it endangered the lives of the citizens? Has there been a report done to determine the safety of running these truck trains on our roads? Doug Massey

Editor: Re: No more hikes for TransLink: mayor, Oct. 13 Mayor Lois Jackson must realize the root of TransLink’s financial ills is that light metro, in the guise of SkyTrain and the Canada Line, is continually built in the region instead of very much cheaper light rail. The Vancouver region is the only place in Europe and North America where light-metro is solely built as an urban transportation mode. The reason is pure economics: SkyTrain/light metro is too expensive to build and operate on routes that do not have the ridership to sustain them. American transit expert Gerald Fox sums up TransLink’s SkyTrain planning: “It is interesting how TransLink has used this cunning method of manipulating analysis

October 20, 2010 The Delta Optimist A11 Letters to the Editor

HST not as big an impact as some would suggest therefore when he writes “...and now with the HST (the government) wants a 12 per cent tax on everything we buy...” This is plain wrong and irresponsible to state in a newspaper. There is no HST on the biggest single shopping item we make daily, namely everyday groceries; there is no HST on a very considerable annual outlay, namely property taxes. There is no HST on another big bill, namely insurance. Furthermore, there always was PST plus GST (which totaled exactly the same as today’s HST) on alcohol, household goods, furniture, autos, most clothing, etc. The actual bills affected

by the application of this tax are relatively few (restaurant meals, some services, telephone, energy consumption) which, according to my own expenditures, account for about 10 per cent of total annual expenses. Put mathematically, applying seven per cent to 10 per cent of expenses means my expenses might increase by 0.7 per cent. It’s hardly world shattering. And with the HST rebate coming to many people, the net effect would be even smaller or possibly beneficial to some. Let’s get past all the hype and misinformation out there and just live with it. Geoff Eldred

Officer provides example of how not to drive Editor: Last Thursday around noon I was travelling along River Road on my way to Ladner following a Delta police cruiser. Over about six miles the cop made four lane changes, one right turn and two left turns — with-

out signaling once. At one point we left a red light together and in no time he was speeding well over the posted speed limit until he got stuck behind a dump truck. He proceeded to tailgate for at least a mile until the road split into two

lanes, at which time he pulled out without signaling and passed the truck. I wonder what would happen to me if a cop witnessed me speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic and failing to signal? Rusty Monger

Editor: Re: Prices could go down, but paying tax is a certainty, letter to the editor, Oct. 16 It really bothers me the amount of misinformation that is out there regarding the HST. The latest is Greg Hoover’s letter. This person had some excellent ideas regarding the South Fraser Perimeter Road alignment and as a result he was taken seriously by many locals, including me. I believed his concept to be better than what was foisted upon us by the government. Hoover might even be considered something of an authoritative voice locally. All the more problematic

A12 The Delta Optimist October 20, 2010

You can’t always choose what you’re good at BARBARA GUNN

LIVING MATTERS We have talents, the husband and I. OK, so we don’t know the first thing about glass-blowing. We don’t know anything about the Pythagorean Theorem, let alone Pythagoras. And if you handed us a Russian translation of War and

Peace, the words would look, well, Russian. But still. The husband’s a darned good packer. That may sound like small stuff, but it comes in mighty handy. On average, I figure, the husband is able to get two more pairs of pants in a suitcase than the average packer. And three more pairs of socks. And 10 extra toothbrushes, not that I’m saying he’d need them. He can also usually predict what time it is, within three or four minutes, give or take — even when he’s

nowhere near a clock. Again, small stuff, but mighty useful, and mighty fun. I can’t tell you how often we’ve played the what-time-is-it-game. It’s what keeps the marriage humming. And me? Again: a person of many skills. I lose the what-time-is-it-game nine times out of 10, (what’s that, you say? We need to take up yoga?) but I score well in the telephone game. Here’s how it works. Friday night, when we are at home, instead of at a

yoga class: Husband: “OK, smarty pants. What was your telephone number when you lived on West 27th Avenue 31 years ago?” Me: “874-7121.” I kid you not. I am also really talented when it comes to making a bed with perfect hospital corners, although I have yet to figure out how to turn this into a pastime. Still, I would rank my hospital corners with some of the world’s best. And if I ever heard about a hospital-

corner competition, I’d be really hard-pressed not to enter. These skills, of course, are not likely to make me rich any time soon, or even allow me to land that perfect line of work. It is not as if I am likely to come across an advertisement for a job opening any time soon that reads: “WANTED: Hotel chambermaid who can perfect the hospital corner. Ability to recall old telephone numbers an asset.” Still.

Everyone on this planet has some particular talent. Some folks can build bridges. Some folks can design cars. Some folks can read War and Peace — in Russian — and then provide you with a plot summary. The world needs those folks. But the world also needs people who can pack well, predict time, remember phone numbers and make a perfect bed. That may sound like a curious skill set, but it’s one we happen to own.

Productive homestand has Sun Devils rolling

06271346

Delta Sports

October 20, 2010 The Delta Optimist A15

South Delta seeks 3rd straight win on Saturday afternoon What a difference a couple of weeks can make in what is proving to be a wild and wacky plot in the Coastal AA Conference of B.C. high school football. The South Delta Sun Devils began a three-game homestand desperate to salvage their season and they have done just that. A win against the Seaquam Seahawks was followed up by an even better effort a week later in their their most complete performance of the 2010 campaign — a 28-7 win over the Ballenas Whalers. A 2-1 record is good enough to be tied with the Seahawks for second place in the standings behind the unbeaten John Barsby Bulldogs. Now, the team everyone thought they would be chasing is set to visit Tsawwassen on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. North Delta’s Sands Scorpions began the season with even higher expectations than their southern rivals yet are fighting for their playoff lives. A less than impressive tie against the Hugh Boyd Trojans was followed by 26-0 loss to the Seahawks last weekend. With only the top four teams advancing to the provincial playoffs, the Scorpions have backed themselves into a corner. Sun Devils head coach Ray Moon doesn’t need to be reminded about the Scorpions’ potential. It was mainly a Grade 11 squad that handed his team a 21-0 loss in last year’s provincial quarter-finals. Sands is guided

by former longtime South Delta coach Ron Uyeyama. “They are a big team and I expect to see them use their size to their advantage,” said Moon. “Ron loves to play smash mouth football. He will run the ball down your throat and dare you to stop them. After embarrassing losses to Abbotsford Christian and Barsby, the Devils coaching staff went back to the drawing board to re-evaluate their schemes on both sides of the ball. The plan was make the playbook a better reflection of the strengths they had to work with. “After those games, we wanted to change things around and it seems to be working,” added Moon. “There is better execution and things are starting to click for us. I just think the kids are more comfortable and confident now.” One of the adjustments seems to be to getting the ball into the hands of Raymond Calderwood on a consistent basis. The versatile senior rushed for a pair of touchdowns against Ballenas and finished the afternoon with over 150 yards in total offence, including 117 along the ground on 20 carries. Chris Adams and Brad Schmied also rushed for majors, while quarterback Mitch Rushton had his best passing game of the season — connecting on 12 of 17 attempts for 153 yards.

The Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants have helped the Delta Skating Club get its season off to an exciting and lucrative start. The club was invited by the Giants to run the 50/50 fund raising draw for the Oct. 9 game against the Kamloops Blazers. With the support of parent and skater volunteers selling 50/50 tickets throughout the night and attending the game, the club raised much needed money for all its programs. As part of the night’s activities, hockey players that are involved in the club’s powerskating programs had an opportunity to play a mini-game during the first period intermission. The game was tightly contested and the boys had a great time on and off the ice and put on a show for the crowd. To cap off the night, sixyear-old Ryan Carleton, was the lucky player chosen to be the Giants “Seventh Man.” He skated with the team prior to the singing of ‘O Canada’ and lined up on the blue line with the starting lineup and Jack the Giant. The club thanks the

1929 - 2010

William Frank Heminsley (Frank) passed peacefully into the presence of his Lord on Monday, October 4, 2010 at the Irene Thomas Hospice after a courageous year-long battle with cancer. Frank was born near Manchester, England on 17 May 1929, and immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his then wife Barbara. Frank and Barbara had 3 sons – Geoffrey, Alan and Christopher. Frank married Linda Layton in 1982 with the families blending, and Linda’s sons David and Andrew Layton bringing the number of sons to five. Frank enjoyed a diversified, challenging and rewarding career as an Electrical Engineer for 30 years working for BC Electric, which later became BC Hydro. Following his retirement from BC Hydro in 1988, Frank worked overseas for BC Hydro International and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in Sri Lanka and India on hydroelectric projects. Frank never truly retired – he spent countless hours volunteering and helping others through the Tetra organization, Provincial Emergency Services and South Delta Baptist Church. In recent years he became the Director of Emergency Social Services for Delta where he continued his work until just two months prior to his passing. Frank is predeceased by his former wife Barbara and stepson David. He is survived by his loving wife Linda, sons Geoffrey (wife Karen, daughter Mackenzie and son Kurtis), Alan (wife Sandy), Christopher (wife Tana) and Andrew (wife Lesley and sons Benett and Samuel). Frank was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and will be greatly missed. Frank came to faith in Jesus Christ at age 51 and his faith shone through in his service to his community and church family, always with humour and a smile. There will be a Memorial Service held at South Delta Baptist Church, 1988 56th St. Delta, BC (Tsawwassen) on Friday, 22 October, 2010 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to Irene Thomas Hospice, 4635 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, BC - V4K 4L8, would be greatly appreciated. Ph: 604-948-0660 or www.deltahospice.org.
