Meanwhile, other academy ideas are being explored, including rowing. The community still needs to be consulted and an appropriate school identified before that academy is launched.

Initial conversations have been held with the Deas Island Rowing Club on how that academy could look. In the meantime, students wanting to focus on rowing will be able to take an independent directed study curriculum, much

Some exciting additions are coming to the Delta school district, says board chair Dale Saip.

In an interview with the Optimist at the district’s administrative offices in Ladner earlier this week, Saip talked about some of the changes that will be coming to Delta schools this September.

New this year is an expansion of the music program for grades 6 and 7, which will include theory as well as instrumental instruction.

“We’re not really spending any

new money but we’ve been able to reallocate some of the monies we have in place,” Saip said. “We’re asking people to donate used band instruments.”

A film production academy will launch at the Delta Manor Education Centre in Ladner, which will also see students in the acting academy at South Delta Secondary involved as there’s a tremendous synergy between the two programs, noted Saip.

The district is also starting a lacrosse academy at Delta Secondary and an academic academy with a Sustainable Earth theme at SDSS, although the lat-

District’s vision taking shape

Emphasis put on innovation as teachers offered support to shape educational practices BY

Enrollment to drop by about 120

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

The Delta school district is forging a path as a leading district for innovative teaching.

That’s the enthusiastic assessment by superintendent Dianne Turner in an interview this week to talk about what’s in store for the upcoming school year.

“What’s happening now, I believe, is we have such a wide array of course offerings and choice programs for students, that parents and students can get a better start,” she said.

The Ministry of Education has been consulting stakeholders throughout the province as it attempts to come up with a new B.C. Education Plan, aimed at reforming the K-12 system.

The Delta school district, however, had already been engaging students, teachers and parents, coming up with a new district vision last year.

“We’re relying on input from our community — thousands of people I’m talking about here — who contributed to our vision.

We are very excited about moving forward and our academies are only a small part of what’s coming,” Turner said.

Turner said the new vision wasn’t fully implemented last year due to the teachers’ contract dispute and job action, but this upcoming school year will see many of the changes.

New this year is the appointment of a director of inquiry for the district, who will consult with coordinators of inquiry in all Delta public schools.

The exercise is aimed at helping teachers find and

Superintendent Dianne Turner and board chair Dale Saip are excited by the opportunities to embrace innovation. implement new and innovative teaching practices as well as share their results.

“The coordinator’s job is to take all the inquiry questions that are taking place in the school and help develop those inquiry questions with the teachers. This inquiry has its own process and cycle that allows people to dig deep into a topic.

Then, the coordinator’s job is to help make that happen, either by providing some relief time and taking over that class while the teacher goes and shares something collaboratively with another teacher, or helps to work with a new technology,” she explained.

SCHOOLS from page 1 like those that are taking equestrian studies but don’t have a full academy to attend.

Saip said another idea he’d like to see pursued is an agricultural academy.

The district is also planning to build at least two

covered sports fields (one in South Delta and the other in North Delta) sometime this school year.

The district announced several weeks ago it was hoping to build the facilities that would have lighted artificial turf surfaces covered

“Currently the inquiry is really about the adults digging deeply into their practices and studying a little bit more about their own teaching. They develop a question and they test their question. So it may be about a particular technology and whether it assists students learning their math better, for example.”

The district hopes to engage students as well, finding the best ways to have them succeed in more problem-based, projectbased learning. It is also planning to offer even more choices and flexibility, including online courses, to suit individual needs.

Turner said the distinct is starting an online platform where the learning community can engage. It will have various blogs, including a public blog for students and parents, as well as an internal portion where students can communicate and work collaboratively online. The platform will be especially useful for inquiry coordinators, who might be working on the same topic.

“It could be five of them working on a technology of some kind or on a particular reading strategy for the elementary school students.

They may want to talk about how it’s going for a common purpose. We’re not

sure how it will work yet, but we’re excited it’s happening,” Turner said.

“We’re really trying to be an innovative district for teaching and the kind of programs we offer.

Sometimes academies are the way to go, sometimes there’s other programming.

We haven’t quite discovered all that yet... potentially there’s other types of programs that aren’t necessarily academies.

“With all of that array of offering, I believe that people are choosing to have their students educated in the district and we have a few coming from other places.”

with a stainless steel roof and frame. The structures wouldn’t be completely closed as the sides would be open to the outdoors but fenced. On the inside, dasher boards would surround the fields, which could be used for a variety of sports About 30,000-square-feet in size, early estimates have each facility costing over $1

million.

The project has already garnered significant community support, according to the district, which is interested in partnerships with organizations, businesses and individuals.

“We’re in the process of working with the community groups, the soccer people, the lacrosse people,

all the people, funding partners and sponsors, building a business plan and getting more in terms of detailed architectural drawings,” Saip said.

In South Delta, the sports dome would be located at Delta Secondary, where the district and school PAC originally hoped to convince the municipality to

The Delta school district has 31 public schools scattered throughout the communities of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. About 8.400 children attend the district’s 24 elementary schools and approximately 7,200 are in the seven secondary schools.

Included in the student body are 2,000 special needs, 500 aboriginal, 2,000 French immersion, 150 alternate education and about 300 international students.

North Delta has a wellestablished multicultural community with 90 per cent of the school district’s 1,300 ESL students residing there. There are many languages spoken in North Delta with a majority of non-English homes speaking Punjabi, Mandarin or Cantonese.

The district is projecting an enrollment of 15,440 students for 2012/2013, a drop of 120 from the previous year.

Approximately 1,600 students in Delta come from Surrey, which helps maintain the enrollment level from dropping even further.

Delta’s overall graduation rate continues to exceed the provincial average. In addition, the aboriginal, ESL and male student completion rates are higher than the provincial averages and graduation rates for students with special needs in Delta are also higher than the average.

locate a new artificial turf field, instead of Delta building it at Dugald Morrison Park.

Saip said having the covered sports facilities would solve a lot of problems when it comes to players having to practice in nasty weather.

It would also free up school gyms, he added.

The Tsawwassen First Nation will hold an election for chief and legislative members next Wednesday.

Chief Kim Baird, who was first elected in 1999 and is seeking a seventh term, faces one challenger, Bryce Williams, a member of the executive committee.

Tsawwassen members will elect 12 members of the legislature. The chief, who is elected separately, will be the 13th member of that legislature.

The TFN’s executive council is made up of the four legislators that get the most votes in the election as well as the chief. They meet weekly or as required throughout the year to

manage the government’s day-to-day operations, debate proposed regulations under Tsawwassen laws and other responsibilities of Tsawwassen government.

The election on Sept. 5 will be the second general election under the TFN’s post-treaty governance structure.

The structure was established on April 3, 2009, the effective date of the Tsawwassen First Nation Final Agreement (treaty) and the day the Tsawwassen First Nation Constitution and other legislation came into effect.

All officials of Tsawwassen government are elected to three-year terms.

Meanwhile, other Tsawwassen government positions are elected or appointed at different times, according to Tsawwassen law. The Advisory Council, a group open to all members that meets regularly to provide advice to Tsawwassen government, is elected at an annual general meeting.

grant under the provincial government’s Community Charging Infrastructure Fund, with the goal of identifying 75 to 150 highly visible host sites for electric vehicle chargers.

“Our goal is to facilitate the creation of a network of charging stations, installed at places like malls, theatres and tourism destinations,” said Metro Vancouver Chair Greg Moore.

“Making charging stations visible and accessible will build confidence in electric vehicles and will promote clean transport and clean air.”

The grant will go toward pursuing private and public sector commitment to host the charging stations. Costs for building the stations will be split between site hosts and the province.

Project to help feed needy families

The release of a rehabilitated eagle is always a highlight at the annual open house hosted by the Orphaend Wildlife Rehabilitation Society. OWL opened the doors to its East Ladner facility to provide the public with tours, demonstrations, displays and more last Saturday and Sunday.

Do you have unwanted fruit growing in your yard?

The Tsawwassen Rotary Club wants it.

The local service club has started a neighbourhood fruit gleaning project with the aim of helping to feed local families in need.

Tsawwassen Rotary is working with the Earthwise Society and the Delta Food Coalition to get fruit and vegetables that would normally go to waste to families and individuals in need.

The club is looking to harvest unwanted fruit that is untreated and close to ripeness. It is specifically looking for the following types of fruit: apples, plums, pears, Asian pears, cherries, peaches, grapes and blueberries.

vide all the needed equipment and labour, so property owners just have to provide access to the trees.

The removal of unwanted fruit also leads to a tidier yard.

Tsawwassen Rotarian Peter Edwards said the club will work with homeowners to schedule a convenient time for the harvesting.

Edwards said the club has done the same thing with local farms and greenhouses to glean potatoes and tomatoes, however this is the first time it’s appealing to the larger community.

Anyone with untreated trees with fruit close to ripeness that would like to contribute to the program is asked to call 604-940-9201 or email info@rotarytsawwassen.org.

Emotions ran high this week in Surrey Provincial Court as the preliminary hearing in the murder of Delta teenager Laura Szendrei began.

Tears streamed down the faces of Szendrei’s friends and family in remembrance of the 15-year-old Burnsview Secondary student.

Her parents, Rachael and Mike Szendrei, sobbed in the second row, with her father leaving the courtroom in tears at one point.

Laura Szendrei was beaten in broad daylight on Sept. 25, 2010 while walking through a wooded area of Mackie Park in North Delta. She was rushed to

The preliminary hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial in B.C. Supreme Court.

About 50 relatives and classmates turned out Monday to show their support, some of them wearing shirts with Laura’s photo and heartfelt words.

In response to Laura’s death, friends and family organized the Laura Szendrei 5 & 10K Walk, Run and Roll, an event that has raised more than $45,000 in two years.

The money goes to the Laura Szendrei Memorial Scholarship Foundation Society, which provides scholarships to students in the Delta school district.

A 19-year-old man, who was 17 at the time of the killing and cannot be named, is charged with first-degree murder in the case that shocked the community.

“The whole community’s devastated. We were all just in tears. Her mom was in pieces.”

Furst said the details unveiled Monday, which are currently under a publication ban, created a terrible visualization for everyone.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW It’s become an increasingly common occurrence: A police officer from one department is accused of wrongdoing, so officers from another jurisdiction are dispatched to investigate.

The arm’s length approach that sees officers in Delta, for example, handle a case in Abbotsford is meant to reassure the public that preferential treatment will not be conferred upon the suspect officer, but the arrangement ultimately boils down to police investigating police, the optics of which are never good.

Although the officers in question would not have even known each other before the alleged incident, there’s still a perception that justice will somehow be compromised by the brotherhood in blue.

I don’t necessarily subscribe to that theory, as it impugns the integrity of police officers, the vast majority of whom are honest and ethical and the ones we don’t think twice about trusting to investigate all other crimes, but you know what they say about perception becoming reality.

With that being so, I think the creation of the Independent Investigations Office not only makes sense, but is long overdue. The new civilian-led entity, which is scheduled to become operational next month, will take over the investigations of serious incidents involving police officers.

Having true arm’s length probes, ones conducted by employees of an independent organization, should, in theory, make the findings of those investigations beyond reproach. There should be no conflict of interest, perceived or otherwise, and it should mercifully remove officers from what has been to this point a no-win situation.

When our own police chief, Jim Cessford, ruled that a pair of Vancouver officers that injured a man in a case of mistaken identity should not face any discipline, the outcry was such that the police complaints commissioner ordered a public inquiry.

Anyone who knows Cessford knows he’s as honest as the day is long, so if he determines the officers were acting in good faith you can bet that was the case, yet the public’s perception wouldn’t allow for such an outcome.

I suspect the reaction would have been different if the Independent Investigations Office had come to the same conclusion, although I’m sure there still would have been some that couldn’t get past the absence of further discipline.

It’s a given the new office won’t be above controversy, but there’s no doubt it’s an improvement over the current arrangement.

There’s too much at stake to rush decision on pipeline IAN ROBERTSON

COMMUNITY COMMENT As the summer winds along towards Labour Day, and as we again think about fall activities and challenges, I want to bring into focus a matter that is happening just to the north of us — in B.C. The matter is the Enbridge pipeline hearings before the National Energy Board, which relate to a proposal to ship dil-bit (diluted bitumen) via pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat, and then onward by tanker to Asia.

The material in question — dilbit — is gooey slurry of unprocessed petroleum along with fine pieces of rock, mixed with a liquid (benzene) to make it flow easier.

Think of molasses just out of the fridge. It is the product of surface mining of the oilsands, and after

steaming and chemically separating most of the non-petroleum matter.

It is mixed with solvent in Alberta to allow it to be pumped via a pipeline to Kitimat. At Kitimat, the solvent is extracted and returned in another pipe back to Alberta to be used again.

Concern has been raised about pipeline spills over the route — a pristine wilderness area that is home to many First Nations. The route chosen is such that access to the pipeline will be difficult to near impossible during many months of winter.

A spill of the material will be difficult if even possible to clean up — it is gooey mass that will kill anything within contact. The company wanting to build and operate has been roundly condemned by the U.S. government for failing to manage its pipelines in the U.S. Once the mass reaches Kitimat it is to be re-concentrated and loaded into more than 200 supertankers per year to navigate a narrow channel containing 100-plus islands out to the open sea. This is where, in winter, winds of over 90 km/h are found on many days.

An American transportation expert has studied the available data and said there is more than a 100 per cent chance of a shipping accident. When that occurs the dil-bit, on leaving the supertanker, sinks to the bottom and spreads over the ocean floor. Technology is yet to be invented to satisfactorily recover this material under these conditions.

Enbridge talks about “leading edge technology” to control pipeline spills and tanker groundings, and it will set aside hundreds of millions to spend on cleanups.

However, the organization is a limited liability partnership (LLP), which has very limited assets, and no cash on hand for a spill.

The lessons of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska tell us that after two decades and $8 billion spent, there is still oil to be cleaned up.

So at what point do we say the environmental studies cannot be rushed and many questions must be answered before any “yes” can be considered? Your response is needed by the federal government via your MP: Kerry-Lynne.Findlay@ parl.gc.ca.

August 31, 2012 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Unions going well beyond just welfare of members Editor: Since the first Labour Day, well over a century ago, working conditions have vastly improved. Yet the bourgeoisie of organized labour seem aimless in the 21st century and are fixated on ideological crusades that are irrelevant to the welfare of their membership.

Are Delta CUPE members proud their national president, Paul Moist, wrote a letter, dated July 23, 2008, imploring Prime Minister Stephen Harper to repatriate the traitor Omar Khadr?

The Canadian Auto Workers executive issued

a statement in November 2005 that vacillated on the question of whether prostitution should be legal and unionized. Are local bus drivers comfortable with that?

The BCGEU is demanding the federal government raise taxes and squander billions of dollars on phony “green jobs” and an unconstitutional daycare program.

These unions and their umbrella groups all similarly pledge in their constitutions to “unite all workers” and “not affiliate to any political party.”

What blatant lies. There is no monolithic solidar-

Ladner is lucky to have Storm campaigning for better sports fields

Editor: As a Ladner resident, I am so proud of the Ladner Storm girls soccer team and their parents and supporters.

They all worked day and night to get votes in the Canada-wide BMO Team of the Week soccer contest.

There were 15 teams from across Canada trying to be Team of the Week, the winner of which receives $125,000 towards playing field improvements in their community and $5,000 to their charity of choice.

The Storm’s charity is B.C. Children’s Hospital.

These girls were at SaveOn-Foods most days and at the Ladner Village Market on Sundays, encouraging all of us to sign up to vote

so our community would receive this great gift.

Bouquets go out to SaveOn-Foods for its great support.

The voting has closed and we won’t know the results until next week, but the Ladner Storm were giving big cities like Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg a run for the votes. As of closing, they were bouncing from second to first, and back again, with Ottawa.

I feel this team deserves the gold medal as it gave everything it had and more to get better facilities for field users in Ladner. Way to go girls, you are true winners in my eyes and all of us in Ladner are lucky you’re in our community.

Our employees find the traffic delays are at random times of the day, therefore they find it difficult to consistently be at work on time, regardless if they are on day or afternoon shift.

Suppliers are reluctant to send delivery vehicles into our plant at certain hours due to traffic delays holding up their drivers from

attending to other clients.

Couriers will not come to our plant at certain hours due to the traffic, which delays our outbound shipments.

It is difficult enough to run a small business these days without the added issues of employees not able to attend, delays in raw material deliveries and delays in outbound shipments.

Does Delta have any plans to improve this business issue in Tilbury?

See that raise

Editor: I remember you making comments about the raises Delta council members gave themselves that were way above the cost of living. We, as taxpayers, were not given a chance say yes or no to these increases.

Now we have the unions coming to Delta council asking for money.

I hope they give the union some type of raise because if council turns the union down of the grounds that Delta has no money, then where did the money come from over the last three years to pay Mayor Lois Jackson and the rest of her council?

As long as the demands by the union are reasonable, why shouldn’t they get a raise? Just food for thought.

Planning principles not being heeded

Editor: Before the circus known as the Southlands development application starts its fall session I would like to offer some food for thought.

Apparently urban planning was originally developed to stop chaos and confusion in European cities during the Industrial Revolution. Planners then recognized that mixing various types of building was detrimental to the health and well being of the people.

They also recognized that single-family and multifamily housing had completely different needs and issues, and as a result most cities have planning bylaws to enforce these principles that have developed over the last 250 years.

Apparently not in Delta!

Here the residents are

forced to attend multiple meetings to defend their homes and neighbourhoods from unwanted or non-conforming development, so much so that it has become a team participation event with coloured team jerseys and cheering sections.

Each side drags out all the relevant and irrelevant information they can find to impress council and hopefully get what they want, regardless of what the bylaws or Official Community Plan contains.

It’s open season and everything is up for grabs.

I don’t attend these sessions because, as they say on Star Trek, “resistance is futile,” and because council will do exactly what it wants to do.

As a case in point, recently council approved a very dense development for the corner of 18th Avenue and 56th Street, the old Southpointe Academy site.

Council passed this development even though it means a 77-foot high office building will be located on that corner, which is totally out of context with the neighbours on all sides and exceedGreg ing the maximum height bylaws by at least three storeys.

Is there a “need” for an office building that size? Is there a “reason” this developer can build to that height and others can’t? Council must have its motivations.

At almost the same time another development application was posted one block away on 18th Avenue indicating that a 7,500-squarefoot monster house was to be built on 16.5 acres of land behind McDonald’s and the industrial commercial complex on 56th Street.

This land was zoned as

school property but has grown market garden crops for the last 20 years at least.

Again, I don’t care about this house or why anyone would want to build Hoover there, what I care about is how does the term urban planning apply to any of this? How is it that we have a mayor and council elected to enforce bylaws and manage the town for the taxpayers, and what we get is constant aggravation from conflicting and non-conforming development applications from developers and speculators wanting to build anything anywhere.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame the developers or speculators. Any businessman will, if given the opportunity, maximize

their investments. I also don’t blame the farmers for not attending the protests against loss of farmland. If there is a chance their farm could come out of the ALR and be valued as industrial or residential land, then they would see profits many times what farming will ever bring them.

In a recent article, Coun.

Ian Paton mused that speculator owners of farmland don’t even plant crops. I would assess that as a speculator who bought land dirt cheap in a municipality that is known to ignore zoning and land use regulations, and if they just hang on to it then it may be worth a fortune in the future. (ie the Southlands) If the Optimist will indulge a second letter, I will offer a solution.

August 31, 2012 The Delta Optimist A11 Letters to the Editor

Minister responds to critic of treaty process

Editor: Re: Treaty process criticized, Aug. 24 I wish to respond to some of the statements by Bertha Williams.

Firstly, Williams stated the treaty signed by the Tsawwassen First Nation was a violation of her Aboriginal rights. Treaties define Aboriginal rights as treaty rights; they do not extinguish them.

Secondly, Williams raised

issues regarding the TFN vote process. People should know that when it comes to voting on treaties, the approval and ratification processes are developed by the First Nation to reflect its unique cultural and political traditions.

It involves a tremendous amount of work as the First Nation treaty group must attempt to obtain approval from all known constituents on the ratification processes

before negotiations begin.

This ensures the ratification processes are transparent, and set a high test for gauging community approval of an agreement.

In addition, all three parties in an agreement — the First Nation, Canada and British Columbia — must agree to the proposed ratification process, which is subject to the ongoing oversight of the B.C. Treaty Commission.

Smell making life miserable for the hundreds of people in East Ladner Editor: For many years in the East Ladner area, we enjoyed the best quality of life you could wish for.

That all changed when West Coast Farms started its composting business.

For several years the putrid small coming from its operation has made life miserable for the hundreds of residents living here.

With the prevailing winds coming from the southeast, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know the smell is

not coming from the landfill, like some would have us believe, but from the composting operation.

It is most noticeable in the summer when people have their windows open on these hot nights and wake up to this sickening smell.

We are well aware of farmers (at various times) working their land and the various smells that come with it. That is acceptable as it is short term. The smell coming from this composting business most

Finally, Williams said First Nations people are not given any opportunity to negotiate issues regarding their territories unless they deal with the treaty commission. This could not be further from the truth.

British Columbia is breaking new ground when it comes to working with First Nations. We realize we can’t expect First Nations to wait indefinitely for economic benefits. That is

In the mornings the “lawnchomper” starts up just after 7 a.m., and with its grunting, grinding and moaning, it whines its way across the lawn, oblivious that it awakens and disturbs the senior tenants in the apartment complexes who face this green.

Consideration to the needs of the seniors who live in the apartments who have to face this disturbance from this grinding monster in the early morn-

days and nights has ruined the quality of life we once enjoyed.

If any of the present Delta council members lived in this area downwind from this operation they would think twice about approving this application.

We ask council to reject this application until such time as West Coast Farms can show positive action to control the odour all the time. At present it has not done that.

It’s time the mayor and council revisit the bylaw and amend it so these “senior people” can have the sleep they deserve, the respect they deserve and the peace of mind the alarm of the beginning of the day isn’t that moaning, grinding, groaning of the “lawnchomper.”

Editor: It is with a feeling of utter defeat that I write this letter today.

What is it about Tsawwassen youths that give off that very unpleasant taste in my mouth? I’m sorry for generalizing and know we are talking about the exception here, but why do you have to go around vandalizing other people’s property?

Noisy lawnmowers shouldn’t act as alarm clock

Editor: There is a section within the noise bylaw that allows lawnmowers to be used as early as 7 a.m., and the heck with the surrounding public or tenants who are abused by this noise.

The Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club is located next to a seniors’ complex and it is mostly used by seniors, so one would think it would have some consideration and understanding for seniors.

why we have Incremental Treaty Agreements (ITAs) and non-treaty agreements.

They allow First Nations to begin realizing the benefits of shared economic agreements with the B.C. government and encourage shared decision-making.

Perhaps most importantly, these types of agreements are building blocks that build toward more comprehensive forms of reconciliation and treaties.

Delta supports Vancouver’s call for pipeline expansion hearing

With Delta’s vast shoreline, project should be concern to all, says Bishop BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta is supporting the City of Vancouver’s request for a full public hearing on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

Council earlier this month endorsed a motion

by Coun. Sylvia Bishop to send a letter to the National Energy Board supporting Vancouver’s request for a hearing in which Vancouver and other local governments would be able to participate as interveners.

An intervener is a party that has an interest in a proposed project and would like to have the option of fully participating in a hearing. They can present evidence, question witnesses and give final arguments during the written and oral portions of the hearing.

Saying Delta has more shoreline than anyone, Bishop noted the pipeline expansion should be a concern for all Lower Mainland residents.

In a letter by the City of Vancouver to the energy

CALL FOR COMMUNITY APPLICATIONS Port Community Liaison Committee – Delta

board, a hearing was requested to get more information on a series of questions and concerns about the $4.1 billion project.

The letter noted that a comprehensive review of the costs should be undertaken as part of the application, and that Vancouver has an interest in ensuring every effort is taken to minimize the risk of a spill from the pipeline.

Vancouver and Burnaby are opposed to the project, as well as groups like the Council of Canadians that warn about the risks, including a spill in the Fraser River.

Coun. Bruce McDonald said he supports Vancouver’s request, however, he also prefers to see a pipeline travel though populated areas so people can monitor what oil companies are doing, rather than having pipelines tucked away in remote areas where things won’t be seen.

“Prove you can do it in an area where people are watching you all the time.

If that’s the way it has to be, so be it. I’d prefer to see that than have it hidden away where you can dump crude oil in a lake and nobody knows except the

few people who live there,” he said.

McDonald agreed there should be full and complete disclosure of the project.

Mayor Lois Jackson said the issue was discussed by Metro Vancouver’s ports committee, where concerns were raised about what emergency plans are in place in the event of a pipeline or tanker spill.

Kinder Morgan operates the Trans Mountain pipeline, which has been running oil from Alberta for almost 60 years.

The company wants to twin the line, more than doubling capacity from 300,000 barrels a day to 750,000 to meet rising demand for crude oil in Asia.

The existing line runs from northern Alberta to B.C., running through the Lower Mainland, including neighbouring Surrey, crossing the Fraser River and eventually reaching the Westridge Marine Terminal at Burrard Inlet. There, tankers are filled with crude.

It’s estimated about 300 tankers would fill up annually if the expansion is approved.

As far as potential impli-

Sylvia Bishop Puts motion forward cations for Delta, in an interview with the Optimist earlier this year, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he suspects the Fraser River could be used as an alternate route for the tankers and a Kinder Morgan terminal if there is too much opposition to the Burrard Inlet plan.

Steves said he suspects the findings of a study by Port Metro Vancouver into tanker traffic for a separate proposed jet fuel delivery project could also be applied to allowing tanker traffic for Kinder Morgan.

The study concluded aviation fuel can be safely transported in bulk tankers on the lower Fraser if proper risk mitigation measures are in place.

The pipeline expansion application has yet to go to the National Energy Board.

Port Metro Vancouver is seeking applications from Delta residents to volunteer to fill two community representative positions on the Port Community Liaison Committee – Delta (PCLC). This committee was formed by Port Metro Vancouver as a mechanism for dialogue and communications about port-related issues in Delta.

PCLC is an information sharing forum that works in the spirit of collaboration to bring together municipal, First Nations, industry, Port Metro Vancouver and community interests to discuss developments, identify concerns, provide suggestions and facilitate two-way communication among respective constituencies about port operations and development.

Community representative positions on PCLC include broad and varied interests within the communities of Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta with varied experience, both technical and social. PCLC meet an average four to six times per year.

Police remind drivers that kids returning to school next week BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

With school starting again in a few days, Delta police are issuing their annual back-to-school traffic safety reminder.

“The Delta police are encouraging everyone to do their part to ensure the safety of our young people as they return for another school year,” said department spokesperson Const.

Ciaran Feenan.

The department is implementing its Walk, Ride, Drive Back to School Traffic Safety Plan.

“With the school year

starting Sept. 4, the safety of those traveling by foot, bike or vehicle is paramount,” Feenan said. “The focus of this initiative will be on education and creating road safety awareness to influence change, with the ultimate goal of making our roads safer for everyone.”

Police have a number of suggested safety measures for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

“The Delta police are encouraging the motoring public, pedestrians and cyclists to employ safety measures to reduce the potential of injury and carnage on our roadways.”

Pedestrians: • When crossing the road do so in a marked crosswalk and follow the direction of school crossing guards.

• Make direct eye contact with the driver to ensure you have been seen prior to stepping into the crosswalk.

• Check all lanes of traffic before proceeding through the crosswalk to ensure it is safe to cross all lanes.

• Wear light coloured and/or reflective clothing.

Motorcyclists/Cyclists: • Wear helmets.

• Wear reflective clothing and gear.

• Remember, motorcycles/bicycles are hard to see.

Drivers: • Slow down and be aware of your surroundings.

• Avoid distractions while the vehicle is in motion.

• Buckle up.

• Ensure all children are in their proper child safety seat.

• For those picking up and dropping off students: Remember to follow school procedures.

D&BE I <' K,L11,

Ever needed more clarification on mutual funds and how they work? You’re not alone. We’ve discovered that many people could benefit from learning more about the ins and outs of mutual funds.

Why Invest In A Mutual Fund? - A mutual fund provides investors access to a diversified portfolio of investments. Your money is pooled with other likeminded investors, and is invested on your behalf by qualified investment professionals. Mutual fund investing provides many benefits: Convenience - Mutual funds take the guesswork out of investing. They allow you to purchase a well-researched portfolio of investments that are monitored on a continual basis.

Affordability - A mutual fund account can be opened, through your Advisor, with a relatively small amount of money. Most fund companies either have a low or no minimum initial purchase amount to make getting started easier. Also, you can arrange to make low pre-authorized monthly payments to your account so you can keep investing.

Access to your money - Your investment is not locked in. You can easily sell mutual fund units on any business day – in virtually any amount – and have access to your funds within days. Your investment choice is not locked in either.

Professional management - Mutual funds give you access to professional money management previously available only to the very wealthy or to large institutions. These managers and their research analysts are specifically trained to evaluate investment opportunities based on the potential to make money while controlling for risk. They have better access to information than most individual investors and can execute trades at much lower costs.

Diversification - The typical mutual fund holds a wider range of investments than you could realistically buy on your own. This ability to diversify your investments generally lowers the overall risk of your portfolio.

Access to markets - Mutual funds provide access to markets that are virtually unavailable to the individual investor. For example, China is touted as a great long-term investment prospect, but how would you research Chinese companies and purchase their shares? The portfolio managers of mutual funds can invest internationally, in many cases enabling them to buy securities not otherwise available to the average investor.

done in the “interruptions” of life.

Jesus told a story of a man who while walking the Jericho road was mugged, robbed and left to die. Two men came upon him bleeding in a ditch. They were church leaders, busy and important men who walked by him on the other side.

The third man on the scene was a Samaritan, the “enemy” of this injured man due to years of racial and religious hospitality. The Samaritan stopped, tended his injured “enemy,” took him to an inn and paid for his care, promising that if it cost more than he had left, he would make up that difference.

Jesus asked his listeners: “Which of these three was the beaten man’s neighbour?” Jesus might ask us today: “Are we too busy to be neighbours?”

Leaving Richmond Hospital I came upon an older woman struggling with the pay parking system. I watched her exasperated confusion as well as the number of people ignoring her, walking by on the other side of the walk.

I offered to help. She accepted and offered profuse apologies for interrupting my busy day.

As we tackled the parking meter, her story unfolded: she had brought her sick husband to emergency and was anxious to get back to him.

I have thought a lot about “being busy” since then. “Being busy” has become the badge of honour in the world we live in. Busy people are productive, important, mysterious and admirable. As a trainee vicar, I remember a wise elder suggesting the most important ministry was

Delta Secondary students and Envision Financial employees helped roll more than $2,500 worth of pennies in Delta Hospital’s Every Penny Counts campaign.

Deadline set for next week in hospital’s penny drive

The Every Penny Counts campaign to purchase a Triple Lumen IV Pump for Delta Hospital’s emergency department is coming to an end.

The Delta Hospital Foundation announced this week it will no longer be collecting pennies after Sept. 4.

With the campaign, which has already collected $7,500 in pennies, ending next week, the foundation would like to remind all businesses and individuals that have been collecting on behalf of the hospital to

have theirs pennies dropped off to the foundation office before the final penny deposit on Sept. 5.

“There has been tremendous momentum ever since we kick started this penny drive off,” said foundation executive director Veronica Carroll.

“The fact that practically every facet of this community, from businesses to families and even elementary and high school classes, has contributed to the campaign underscores how great this community is, how much we all love our

hospital and it truly shows that a penny can really go a long way.”

Pennies can be dropped off at the foundation office inside Delta Hospital’s front entrance in Ladner from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or call 604940-9695 to arrange pick up.

In complex cases at the hospital, patients might need more than one medication administered at once.

The Triple Lumen IV Pump can administer up to three medications at a time with greater flexibility and puts less stress on the patient.

Worry-free independent living is a button-push away...

Lifeline is a unit of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary. In Delta, we help keep about 375 seniors and people with disabilities in their homes. Volunteers install the equipment and ensure the clients know how to use their Personal Help Buttons.

Many calls to Lifeline are solved by responders, therefore preventing unnecessary ambulance calls or visits to the Hospital Emergency Department. Seniors and their families have peace of mind knowing that help is just a click away.

How the Lifeline Service Works ❶ Summon help

Simply push your Lifeline Help Button at any time to connect to our 24/7 Response Centre. NOTE: If you have our Lifeline with AutoAlert option, you will get an added layer of protection, as you AutoAlert Help Button will automatically place a call for help if a fall is detected and you are unable to push your button.

❷ Hear a reassuring voice

A Lifeline Response Associate will access your profile and assess the situation.

❸ Knowing help is on the way

Our Associate will contact a neighbour, loved one or emergency services based on you specific needs, and will follow up to confirm that help has arrived.

McKee Seniors’ Centre hosting upcoming wellness fair BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

The McKee Seniors’ Recreation Centre will host a wellness fair next Saturday.

The special event will feature demonstrations, wellness presenters, information kiosks and more.

It’s also a good chance to showcase the facility, says Gail McEwan, senior centre coordinator with Delta Parks, Recreation and Culture.

“I think it’s a good idea for anyone to come and check it out, seniors especially,”

she says, adding the community is invited to come by. “It’s for members but it’s really open to everybody.”

There will be hosts on site to offer tours of the facility as well.

Examples of presentations include travel planning, nutrition, housing solutions and home care.

“Many of the speakers and presenters are B.C. or Canadian institutions but have a local flavour, so they’re specific to this community,” says McEwan.

“This wellness fair provides an opportunity for everybody, whether it’s something

proactive or something that they’re dealing with currently. There’s lots of neat speakers,” she says.

It’s common knowledge now that seniors are living longer, says Don MacAllister, chair of McKee House Seniors Society.

“They’re more active than ever before,” he says, adding he expects a good turnout at the event.

The centre has 1,200 members. The minimum age to join is 50 while the oldest member is 103, says MacAllister.

The wellness fair takes place Saturday, Sept. 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McKee

Seniors’ Recreation Centre, 5155-47th Ave., Ladner. The Kee Café will be open.

For more information, visit the centre’s customer service desk or call 604-9461411.

• The centre has new Fun & Fitness classes Tuesday and Thursdays from 7 to 8 a.m. The centre has over 40 fitness classes from hatha yoga, Pilates, jazzercise, meditation, tai chi, tap and line dancing.

View the fall program guide at www. corp.bc.ca for a complete listing of programs. Most programs begin the week of Sept. 11.

KinVillage welcoming community for open house An open house is planned for KinVillage Community Centre next Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We welcome visitors from the community and it gives us an opportunity to show off the many activities that take place here,” says director of recreation John Lusted.

KinVillage is located at 5430-10th Ave. in

Tsawwassen and is very accessible.

“We have invited several local dignitaries to our open house and we look forward to welcoming them to our facility. The theme this year is Forever Young and we believe our large and varied roster of activities contributes to the young attitude of our members: ballroom aerobics,

dancercise, Hawaiian and international dance classes, as well as fun with our Kin Jam Band. Twice a month we show recently released movies on our large screen.

Our weekly bingo brings in a good crowd and people often come early to enjoy the lunch special in our café,” says Lusted.

ElderCollege offers a variety of courses in the

spring and fall. That provides an opportunity for people to learn in a relaxed environment. The courses usually fill up fairly quickly, he notes.

“We have regular Friday night and Sunday afternoon dances and participants love our large sprung dance floor. Anyone of drinking age is welcome to those dances as well as to our

Register For Scouting Now North Delta / Ladner / Tsawwassen !: 778-833-2489 Email: samantha.scoutscanada@gmail.com

very reasonably priced special dinner dances when we have live bands,” says Lusted.

During the open house the KinVillage Café will be open offering lunch specials and the Unique Boutique will offer special prices on gently used clothing and accessories.

All those 50 and up are invited to become members

of KinVillage Community Centre for an annual fee of $20 plus tax. Members receive a discount on activities and events. The community centre also offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities.

SDSS grad takes to stage at Fringe Fest BY

T

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

sawwassen’s Kenzie Peters will be appearing in Zanna, Don’t! at the Vancouver International Fringe Festival beginning next week.

She plays Roberta in the musical fairy tale, which takes place in a world where homosexuality is the norm and heterosexuality is taboo.

The musical satire, described as funny and fast paced, tells the story of a popular boy and popular girl who fall in love and how their high school reacts to the unexpected turn of events.

“I think its an amazing story because it takes the audience into a completely whole other mindset that I don’t think our culture is really used to,” said Peters.

She described her character as someone who’s tough on the outside but is a hopeless romantic on the inside.

Peters, who just graduated from South Delta Secondary and is in her first show outside of Tsawwassen, said she’s having fun.

“I’m actually enjoying the role a lot. Roberta is this crazy, Aretha Franklin-spirited character and it’s very different than my last role, which was Maria in The Sound of Music. It’s definitely a good challenge to try and take on a different role that requires a whole different set of things from you.”

Peters, 18, said she doesn’t have plans for school this coming fall but the year after is up in the air with musical theatre or music as possibilities.

Zanna, Don’t! features an all-youth cast and is presented

by Awkward Stage Productions.

While it is rated for general audiences, the musical does contain mature themes.

To buy tickets or for more information about the festival visit www.vancouverfringe.com.

Tickets to Zanna, Don’t! cost $10 on weekdays and $12 on weekends.

It opens Thursday, Sept. 6 at Studio 700 at 700 Hamilton St.

Affections kicks off Sidekick season There is a fine line between having no idea what the truth is and living in denial to avoid it.

In the Sidekick Players Club’s 16th season opener, The Affections of May, May Henning (Laura SutherlandSmith) teeters on that tightrope between ignorance and denial until one fateful morning she has no choice but to fall to reality.

Written by Canada’s most prolific playwright, Norm Foster, and directed for Sidekick by Carroll Lefebvre, the play opens next month at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

May is the owner of a bed and breakfast in the town of Grogan’s Cove.

She is deserted by her husband Brian (Simon Mortimer-Lamb), who has

decided that small town life is not for him, and so he’s returned to the big city leaving May to fend for herself.

And, like in any small town, word spreads fast, and May soon finds herself not only the talk of the town but also a potential mate for the single men who jump at the chance to snag an eligible female. This is

how she begins to see a lot more of Hank (Ted Hubert), the local bank manager and an awkward, nice-guy who never got beyond highschool, never left his mom or his outdated views of himself.

A romantic comedy, the show is the perfect balance between entertainment and realistic, relatable circumstances. There is no one who hasn’t suffered the sting of a relationship gone sour, the shock when it seems to happen out of the blue and the range of emotions that happens before one is eventually able see through the fog and begin to live again.

For May, the haze begins to clear after she meets Quinn (Derek Christiansen), a lost, but charming soul, who like May needs a fresh start, in a bad way. The town black sheep, he too needs to overcome his past and the two quickly start to unravel and then heal one another.

Despite what it might sound like, it isn’t a “chick play” and men will be able to relate to a lot of what both Hank and Quinn experience throughout this show.

Situations such as being stuck in the same spot, hoping for the affections of a woman and mustering up the courage to take a risk.

It is one of those shows that makes you feel like you are a fly on the wall in someone’s living room.

It’s full of authentic and honest moments that takes the audience on a journey through raw pain and anger, laughter and happy moments.

Hubert, Christiansen and Mortimer-Lamb are all Sidekick Twelve Angry Men alumni and return to the stage with long-time member and award winning

actress Sutherland-Smith.

The Affections of May runs from Sept. 13 to 29 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday only) at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Lodge 359 has represented working men and women in British Columbia for over 50 years in heavy construction, shop, office and technical fields.

Labour Day is a special holiday that was established due to the determination of unionized workers who fought for the abolition of the law that decreed that “Trade Unions were criminal conspiracies in restraint of trade”, even though Labour Day was conceived by virtue of relentless activities and demonstrations of the Trade Unions. This is a holiday to be celebrated by all who labour.

We wish all laboura aHappy Happy and Day!Day! We wish all labour andSafe SafeLabour Labour

/74H=DUBH There’s much more behind Labour Day than simply a day off.

This Labour Day, we’re celebrating the 82 years of contributions that members of the Operating Engineers’ Union have made to the causes of working people. Not only have we helped build many of the most impressive and important structures in the province, our union has been a strong advocate for workplace safety and employment standards.

We’re on the front lines, we understand how construction projects come together and we make sure employers, government politicians and agencies have access to our expertise.

It’s not an easy task, but thankfully we’re not alone.

JIM SINCLAIR

Optimist contributor

The origins of Labour Day in Canada trace back 140 years to 1872 and a parade held in support of a Toronto union’s strike for a 58-hour work week. Back then, union activity was illegal in Canada and 24 workers were jailed for their role in the strike.

An outcry of support and rally on Sept. 3, 1873 led Prime Minister John A. MacDonald to commit to repealing the law banning union activity, helping to lay the groundwork for real progress for working people.

Since 1894, when Prime Minister John Thompson declared Labour Day an official holiday, working people have celebrated our gains and honoured those who fought for the rights and privileges we enjoy today.

Unfortunately, the last 30 years has seen a troubling growth in inequality in our society.

From the Second World

War through 1980, working people shared equally in the gains of productivity with shareholders and owners through higher wages and improved purchasing power.

But from 1980 forward, while productivity increased at an even greater rate, workers’ wages stagnated and all gains of productivity have gone to owners and senior executives.

Today’s middle class family feels like they are having a harder time making ends meet, because they are. Meanwhile, the rich have never been so rich.

On this Labour Day, however, I look forward with optimism that we are turning a corner towards greater equality.

Front-line workers in B.C.’s public service are negotiating for fair and reasonable wage increases.

And despite the intransigence of Christy Clark and Kevin Falcon, polling consistently shows that women and men across B.C. support these workers in their simple demand to not fall further behind or lose rights

$52.3 million

they and their predecessors fought to secure.

British Columbians want a fair and equitable society, and they recognize that front-line workers in our schools, hospitals, and social and government services are an important part of that society.

Liveable communities are anchored in a strong middle class and it was unions who were responsible for the development of the middle class.

This Labour Day, as investment bankers and CEOs fight to hold on to a greater and greater share of the wealth working people generate, unions remain as relevant as they were 140 years ago when our predecessors fought to reduce the work week to fewer than 60 hours.

We continue to fight for better work and better lives for all Canadians, and I am hopeful we are turning a corner towards better times for us all.

Jim Sinclair is president of the B.C. Federation of Labour.

Union Membership

among all local employees

The Union Advantage There were 302,300 union members working in and around the Greater Vancouver region in 2011, over 29% of all employees. On average, they earned $4.93/hour more than non-union employees.

That difference in pay put an extra $52.3 million every week into the local economy to support local businesses and community services.

Workers in unions are an important part of the local community and economy because that’s where they spend their paycheques.

Communities with more union members enjoy relatively higher incomes overall, and support a richer mix of businesses and services that diversify the local economy and add to the overall quality of life. They are better places to work and live.

Good Jobs. Better Lives.

Unions Stand up for Fairness!

August 31, 2012 The Delta Optimist A25 Labour Day

Unions needed more than It’s the ever as fair deal sought BY

DARRYL WALKER

Optimist contributor

Why do we have a holiday to mark Labour Day? What have unions done for me? Two questions that are important to ask ourselves every year as we wrap up our summer vacations and prepare to go back to work in the fall.

First, the reason we all have paid vacations in Canada is because unions fought for and gained that right for workers, along with the eight-hour workday, paid lunch breaks, weekends off, holidays and overtime pay.

Then there are pensions, universal health care, minimum wage, parental leave, workers’ compensation and employment insurance — all initiatives championed by unions that form the core of Canadian values.

Even if you don’t work in a union workplace, you benefit from unions.

Unionized wages and benefits provide a lift to workers in all sectors, as nonunion employers realize the

need to improve employees’ wages and benefits to keep quality, trained staff.

Often, the only time the public notices unions is when there is a strike or lockout and the supply of Darryl goods or services is disrupted. So it is easy for some people to have a negative view of the role played by unions in our society.

But consider this: In Canada, over 95 per cent of all negotiations are settled without a strike. Of those strikes that do happen, most last only a short time. In 2000, for example, only one workday in 1,655 was lost to a strike or lockout.

In the current round of negotiations with the B.C. government, the BCGEU has made very modest demands to reach a fair and reasonable agreement. We understand the economy is still in recovery.

Government workers’ wages have fallen five per

cent behind due to inflation after three years with no wage increase. Our members have done their part to keep the cost of government in line. After 10 years of Walker dramatic budget cuts, B.C. now has the leanest public service per capita in Canada.

We’re not asking for the world, only that our wages begin to catch up with inflation.

Unfortunately, however, the B.C. government has refused to seriously consider our wage demands or revenue proposals.

Three times the B.C. government has made offers and then removed them from the table, a form of peek-a-boo bargaining that questions whether it is serious about reaching an agreement.

Darryl Walker is president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union.

Labour Day

Union advantage extends well beyond its members BY

KEN GEORGETTI

Optimist contributor

On Labour Day we celebrate the many contributions of working people who helped to build our country and its economy.

Despite negative comments about unions from some business groups, we do make a positive difference in the health of our communities and the lives of business owners.

We call this the union advantage.

The Canadian Labour Congress released a research study in August showing that, on average, unionized workers in Canada earn $5.11 an hour more than non-union workers. That extra money in the pockets of individual workers means the union advantage is worth a cumulative $793 million per week that is added to our economy, and it represents a gain for local communities and small businesses as well.

Our research study highlights 29 separate communities across the country

to show the benefits that unionized workers provide.

We have found that centres with more union members enjoy relatively higher incomes overall and support a richer mix of businesses and services — dentists, chiropractors, therapists, health specialists, family lawyers. These services benefit everyone.

In short, these communities are better places to work and live.

Belonging to a union is especially important for female workers. We have found that 53 per cent of non-union women earn less than $13.33 an hour, compared to just 6.4 per cent of women who belong to unions. So the next time someone says union workers make too much money, ask them if they would prefer their mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts to make less than $13.33 an hour for their labour.

Unionized workers are more likely than non-union workers to have access to workplace pension plans, drug and dental plans. This

Ken Georgetti means that millions of children have proper dental and vision care. Their parents can afford to enrol them in camps and sports programs and later send them off to college and university.

But the union advantage doesn’t belong just to union members. All workers share in what union members have fought hard to achieve — better wages, good benefits and safer workplaces.

When unions stand up for fairness, they raise the bar for everyone.

Ken Georgetti is president of the 3.3 millionmember Canadian Labour Congress.

Act offers protection for employees & employers hours of pay. If the employee was scheduled for more than eight hours, he or she is entitled to four hours of pay. However, if an employee reports to work but is not fit to work, minimum daily pay does not apply.

• The liquor server minimum wage rate of $9 per hour applies to people who serve liquor directly to customers as part of their job duties. Hostesses, kitchen staff, bartenders who mix drinks only and other staff who do not serve liquor must be paid the general minimum wage of $10.25 an hour.

• “Tip pooling” is a common practice, generally used to share tips between all staff. This practice is not prohibited by the act.

• Employees cannot be required to pay for any portion of the employer’s business costs, neither out of their wages nor out of the tip pool. This includes breakage, till shortages and “dine-and-dash” events.

The Employment Standards Branch responds to more than 100,000

assistance requests from employers and workers every year through its tollfree information line.

Workers and employers are encouraged to resolve disputes through the use of a self-help kit. The kit is not required in certain circumstances, such as for workers under the age of 19 or employees who have language or comprehension difficulties. More information is available at www. labour.gov.bc.ca/esb/facshts/ shk-employer.htm.

If the use of the self-help kit does not resolve the dispute, a complaint can be filed. A good portion of complaints are resolved through education with the assistance of Employment Standards Branch staff.

Unionized workers can rely on the grievance procedure contained in their collective agreement.

If you have questions about employment standards, you can visit one of the nine branches throughout the province, call 1-800663-3316 or go to www. labour.gov.bc.ca/esb.

Bing Zhao, a gymnastics coach with over 30 years of experience, has combined Chinese Tai Ji, Yin Yang theory and North American fitness exercises to form what she calls Roga.

The main purpose of her class is to improve flexibility, coordination, balance and strength. Roga is not as intense as aerobics or as extreme as yoga, yet it will still give you a full body workout. All the movements are easy and fun to learn.

A free introductory session takes place Thursday, Sept. 6 at 10:30 a.m.

KinVillage is located at 5430-10th Ave., Tsawwassen.

Regular classes start Thursday, Sept. 13. For 10 sessions it costs $67.20 for members and $72.80 for non-members.

Vancouver Giants coach Don Hay talks to players during training camp Wednesday at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The WHL team will play its home exhibition games at the local rink as well.

CHUNG CHOW

Giants set to start preseason at LLC With training camp wrapped up, Vancouver’s exhibition schedule begins tonight with Kelowna paying a visit Training camp for the Western Hockey League team wrapped up Wednesday with the annual Alumni Challenge intersquad game.

“The guys have worked really hard in training camp ... The key guys that you’re hoping would step up are doing that. Guys like Jordan Martinook, and Cain Franson, and Wes Vannieuwenhuizen, guys that have been on your team for a couple years now are really in that role as the leaders of your group,” Giants coach Don Hay told

Tides at Tsawwassen Pacific Standard Time. Height in feet

CKNW Radio earlier this week.

Last season Vancouver finished fourth in the WHL’s Western Conference and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Spokane Chiefs.

The Giants announced earlier this week that Vannieuwenhuizen, 20, would be the club’s new captain.

“Wes is a player that carries all the intangibles that we want in a leader,” said Giants general manager Scott Bonner. “He has made great improvements as a

player, and we believe he’ll be a great role model for our group.”

Vannieuwenhuizen is entering his fourth year with the team, totaling 19 points and 309 penalty minutes in 137 regular season games.

The defenceman takes over from Tsawwassen’s Brendan Gallagher, who’s expected to move on to play in the Montreal Canadiens organization. Gallagher, a South Delta Minor Hockey alumni, was selected by the Habs in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL draft.

Dodgers cap season with Tier 1 playoffs win Tsawwassen team downs Cloverdale Cardinals 6-0 in championship game to complete perfect postseason run against a gritty Sechelt team.

Tsawwassen made the trek to the Sunshine Coast worth its while with an 8-1 victory.

Donny Mackintosh pitched a 6 1/3 inning gem, recording 11 strikeouts, before giving way to Connor Edinger for the save. Mackintosh would

After capturing the South Fraser Spring Interlock Midget AA Baseball League pennant, the Tsawwassen Dodgers completed a memorable season by winning the Tier 1 South Fraser Interlock playoffs.

Despite being placed in the tougher of the pools, the Dodgers went to work right away in their first game

also help his cause by hitting a monster home run in the third.

Up next was the Surrey Mariners with Ben Lawson getting the start on the mound. He recorded seven strikeouts in only four innings of work, and Edinger would complete the game once again, in a 13-3 romp.

Notice of Proposal to Adopt a Zoning Amendment Bylaw APPLICATION FOR ZONING AMENDMENT (FILE: P08-17) “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977 Amendment (Floor Area Exemptions for Neighbourhood Zoning Areas – P08-17) Bylaw No. 7093, 2012” PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that at the Regular Meeting to be held on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 at 7:00 P.M. at the Municipal Hall, 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, B.C., the Municipal Council of The Corporation of Delta will consider third reading and adoption of “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977 Amendment (Floor Area Exemptions for Neighbourhood Zoning Areas – P08-17) Bylaw No. 7093, 2012”.

The purpose of this bylaw is to clarify floor area exemptions in Neighbourhood Zoning Areas (as shown in the map below) and other single family residential and duplex zones in Delta. Specifically, these amendments would ensure that single family and duplex homes in the Neighbourhood Zoning Areas (zoned RS4-A, CD329, CD331 and CD366) are not permitted to exempt the floor area of an in-ground basement from the total floor area and floor space ratio calculations.

Pursuant to Section 890(4) of the Local Government Act and Council’s resolution on July 30, 2012, there will not be a Public Hearing for this bylaw.

The Dodgers continued to roll with a 7-0 victory over cross-town rival Ladner Cubs.

Macintosh continued his dominance on the mound, striking out 11 in 5 2/3s innings of work. Justin DeRoy closed the game out.

A win in their final round-robin game against the Cloverdale Blue Jays would mean home field advantage in the semifinals.

Lawson and Mackintosh combined for 11 strikeouts as the Dodgers rolled to a 10-5 win, earning a final four date with the Ladner Red Sox. This time it took a threepitcher effort (Lawson, DeRoy and Edinger) to produce another 10-5 win.

The perfect post-season run was completed with another decisive victory, this time a 6-0 result over the Cloverdale Cardinals in the championship game.

Once again, they received

double feat of regular season and playoff champions.

The Dodgers would like to thank the parents and executives from Tsawwassen baseball for their support all season.

They would also like to congratulate the Tier 2 playoff champions Tsawwassen Yankees for their great run. This marks the first time Tsawwassen teams have won both tier playoff championships and league pennants.

outstanding pitching from Mackintosh, who recorded seven strikeouts.

The teams also received key offensive and defensive contributions from: Riley Born, Matt Jutras, Brock Lawson, Martin O’Hara, Connor Sim, Derek Solano, Kento Tanaka and Dustin Triano.

The coaching staff of Dan Hodgens, Dave Edinger and John Solano is very proud to see their players accomplish the elusive

Rowers score notable performances Masters from Delta Deas Rowing Club made a definite impression at the recent Cascadia Regatta at Burnaby Lake.

Katie Mahoney, who has been rowing for less than two years, came in second in the lightweight single event. Racing a single as a newbie is frightening

enough but to come in second is icing on the cake.

The rowing club was also very busy over the same weekend hosting the rowing competition for the B.C. Summer Games.

Our much beloved mother and grandmother passed away after a lengthy illness at the age of 86. Doreen was predeceased by her loving husband of 57 years, Douglas, and parents James and Winnie Dey. Doreen leaves behind her brother George (Marlene), daughters Debra and Tracy (Gary Flockhart), grandson Dan, granddaughter Shannon, nephew Scott and niece Jennifer.

Doreen was born in Vantage, Saskatchewan and moved to BC with her family when she was 10. Richmond and later Vancouver were home for Doreen, until she met and then married her lifelong love, Doug.

They then moved back to Richmond to raise their family. Once retired, they moved to Ladner to be closer to their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. Doreen’s unique personality, warm smile and generous ways will be greatly missed by all. Special thanks to the staff at Westshore Laylum and Dr. Rex Long for their years of loving care.

A Memorial Celebration of Doreen’s life will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 11:00 am at Delta Funeral Home 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Ladner, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Alzheimer Society of BC (www.alzheimerbc.org).

TAYLOR, Carole Irene (nee Rudoski) 1939 - 2012

It is with great sadness that we announce Carole’s passing on August 10, 2012.

Carole was born in Langenburg, Saskatchewan and moved to Delta with Gerry and their family in 1972. She worked as an Administrative Support with Delta Police and retired after 25 years of service.

She had a passion for gardening and spent many enjoyable hours in her garden. Her greatest joy was in spending time with her grandchildren.

She was an active volunteer at Delta Hospice Thrift Store, and the Kinsmen Centre in Tsawwassen.

Carole was predeceased by her beloved daughter Andrea Vereschagin, her parents, Rudy and Eva Rudoski, and her brother Russ Rudoski.

She will be lovingly remembered by Gerry, her husband of 49 years, son Steve, grandchildren Brody and Kacy Vereschagin, son-in-law Geoff Vereschagin, her sister Kathy Wilford and nephew and niece Ryan and Kaisa Wilford.

A Graveside Service will be held on Sunday, September 9, 2012 at 11:30 am at Boundary Bay Cemetery, 856 - 56 Street, Delta, BC. Following will be a Memorial Tea held in Carole’s honor at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm.

Donations to Irene Thomas Hospice, 4635 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, BC would be appreciated, in lieu of flowers.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Errands, talk, emails, travel and curiosity fill this month. Ask questions, approach people, read. You’ll be very busy, especially the first half, but the stakes are not high, so be “relaxed busy.” You remain sweet, gracious until Thursday. All September, your romantic urges swell; so does your courage. The entire month also intensifies your creativity, especially in your career.

(But go slow, cautiously in career zones and with authorities Sunday/Monday, and generally before Oct. 6.) Life’s sweet, you’re popular and flirtatious midweek – a wish comes true. Retreat late week.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase money for the next three weeks. You’ll receive many offers (flyers?) to purchase until mid-month. You can “profitably” spend on stationery, telephones, auto, etc. Until Thursday, solitude is sweet, even desirable. But Thursday to early October, your more public, gracious, radiant side emerges: you’ll draw others with your honeyed demeanour. But all September, friction is just waiting for an excuse to erupt on the home front, so keep that honey “in-house.” Legal, intellectual and travel matters hit barriers Sunday/ Monday. Your career hits great luck midweek.

Hopes, joy, Friday on!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your energy, charisma, clout and effectiveness hit a yearly peak this month – especially now to mid-September. See people (and be seen) ask favours, tackle things that previously intimidated you,and start important projects.(But not too many: limit yourself to four or less.) You remain popular in romantic ways, you attract glances until Thursday; after this, if you’re attached, draw your loved one into private joys. You will hear secrets all month – and will feel deep sexual urges, want impatiently to alter your lifestyle, and be fascinated with finances and investments – all good.

Having problems with a tenant OR need property maintenace &/or caretaking done. 30 years exp. Call Bentley • 604-539-2533

Aries March 21 - April 19: You work and receive news of work (or discuss a new job/project) this week.

Your home remains sweet – at least until Thursday, when a new romantic streak begins to slowly emerge. (But work will still fill most of your days.) You are coming close to wrapping up a long relationship struggle – the recently divorced, for example, will soon feel free of the gloomy regrets. Your sexual and financial sides are raring to go all month. As long as you aren’t too impulsive, go ahead. Watch for health problems, same period. Your energy, charisma rise Sunday/Monday. Money luck midweek.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Rest, lie low Sunday/ Monday. Avoid commitments, promises. Your energy and charisma surge upward Tuesday to Thursday.

You can attract romance, or winningly pursue it – and creative matters succeed, risky ventures too – you’re a winner! (All these, creativity, love, even relations with children, swell with activity and talk until mid-September. This entire month, relationships of all kinds intensify, which can eat up love – and enmity. For 18 months, don’t be “wilfully alone.”) Chase money – carefully – Friday/Saturday.

Sign nothing, avoid purchase agreements. An easy, smooth week.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Sink into home, recuperation, gardening, family, kids. This zone becomes very active and communicative to midmonth, and hard work seems to find you the entire month. (So that recuperation might be hard to find – but at least, grab a daily nap.) Your recent (mild) money luck lasts until Thursday. Until October, guard against cuts, bruises – be safe with machinery.Avoid over-heating, burns. Sounds dire – but in truth, your luck is strong and growing. Sunday/Monday are wishful, but your wishes haven’t come true for three years – they will start coming true, Oct. 5 onward.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Lie low, rest, avoid competitive situations. Until mid-month, you’ll hear secrets or do much planning for the future, or simply be surrounded with paperwork for the government, agencies, etc. Good stuff, but keep up with it. You will receive more money than usual until Oct. 5 – but you will also experience an almost subconscious urge to spend much more than usual. Bank it, or lose it. Bosses and parents favour you to Thursday; after this, your peers and friends do the same – so, despite your lowered energy and need for healing solitude, you can also be surprisingly popular.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your popularity surges for a few weeks. You feel determined, courageous, sexy, potent. But don’t jump off a cliff just to impress everyone! Moderation’s the key to rooms of accomplishment. Do enjoy social delights, flirtation(s) and the splendid optimism that flows over you until late month. Wish and dream – they can come true. One caution: now to February 2014, you would be wise to avoid marrying, forming a business partnership, or relocating. If single, enjoy love, but don’t commit. Work calls early week.

Tuesday to Thursday bring great opportunities. Late week, finances.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Be ambitious to late September. Talk, planning and detail work fill your career and status zone for the next two weeks. A Gemini or Virgo figures prominently. The time for power plays is prior to Thursday – after this, you revert to being more interested in meanings and morals, the big picture, the “why” of events. (This is a better state overall as it tends, for you, to bring love – whereas power plays bring you perilously close to tawdry things.) All month, romance takes a back seat. Work succeeds splendidly midweek, but now to early 2014, avoid overdoing work.

$149,000 1 Br corner ground level suite with private patio, laminate flrs, crown molding, in desireable Austin Hts. Quiet secure building, nr Blue Mtn park, shopping etc.

Price reduced. Moving.

Sept. 2 - 8, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your mind expands and grows calmer, more assured. Until Oct. 5, your hopes grow, especially about real estate, children, home, security and retirement matters. However, this same area meets familiar barriers, so don’t act impulsively on those hopes. Romance, creativity, speculation and risk attract you, and succeed splendidly, Tuesday to Thursday – but this entire zone needs sober “second thoughts” right into February 2014. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday. Others treat you sweetly until Thursday: after this, a month of financial reward and intimate beauty begins. Love exists!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Sexual and financial urges dominate. Careful what you casually say or promise Sunday/Monday – it might lead to an awkward situation later. Attend to home, kids, retirement prospects, security – and soak up Mother Nature – Tuesday to Thursday. This area is blessed right now, but slowly turn your attention elsewhere now to February 2014. For example, DON’T buy a new home – put your energies in your career instead.

That area, career, heats up this month (to Oct. 5) – be flexible and good humoured with the boss, police and parents. Friday/Saturday bring romantic instability.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships fill this month – so do relocation prospects, possible contracts, negotiations, litigation, divorce, marriage, partnership dealings, dealings with the public, even fame. You face major opportunities, and, perhaps, major opposition. Co-workers will be affectionate. DO NOT start a lawsuit. You can make money (all month) from the media, education, travel and/or foreign-born people. Still, earnings are an obstacle course for you for some years ahead. (Hint: pick fame over $.)

Errands, emails and travel speed splendidly midweek.

Home is attractive yet jumbled late week. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-560-1269
