For more information anda full list of what is accepted,visit www.delta.ca/services/garbage-recycling/spring-clean-up.

At one time in Delta a sec-ondary suite was considereda neighbourhood intrusion, tothe point where municipal hallstepped in to shut them down.

As the need for both rentalaccommodation and mortgagehelpers intensified, the numberof secondary suites exploded,prompting civic officials to look

the other way at what were stilldeemed illegal units.

Today, secondary suites arelegal, although many are stillnot registered with the munici-pality.

On pages 10 and 11, reporterSandor Gyarmati takes a lookback at the secondary suitessaga and where we are today.

Next week’s TsawwassenFirst Nation electionis turning out to be anintriguing race.

Bryce Williams, a youngartist wrapping up his firstterm as chief, faces twochallengers for re-electionin Andrew Bak, a formermember of the legislatureand supporter of formerchief Kim Baird, and KenBaird, a current memberof the elected legislatureas well as Kim Baird’sbrother.

Williams unseated KimBaird in 2012, and again ina subsequent election thefollowing spring, denyingher a seventh term.

Bak, a cousin of theformer chief and KenBaird, told the Optimisthe had been nominatedto run as chief in the lastelection but didn’t wantto run against Kim Baird,especially since they heldsimilar viewpoints. He saidthere was a sense of disap-pointment from some aftershe lost.

“I’m somebody whohas a bit of a business

background andjust completing anMBA at Simon FraserUniversity, so the thingI’m hoping to bring toTsawwassen govern-ment and leadershipis a sense of trying tobecome a governmentthat makes moneyinstead of concentrat-ing on just spendingmoney. Bryce, interms of his plat-form he shared withmembers, is all aboutspending. It’s a realconcern for me and areal concern for other peo-ple,” said Bak.

“There are some itemsin his platform that arereally quite expensive andhe hasn’t shared any infor-mation how he intendsto pay for any of thesethings,” he said.

Saying there’s also con-cern about the currentchief’s level of consulta-tion, which could be seenin the failed proposal topartner with FortisBC tobuild an LNG plant, Baksaid there’s been littlesupport for TFN entrepre-neurs.

He said he isn’t con-

cerned by any potentialvote-splitting, noting KenBaird is similar to Williamsas far as approach andviews, so any potentialvote-splitting would go theother way.

Bak, Baird andWilliamsare hoping to win whathas certainly turned outto be a high-profile posi-tion as the TFN is poisedto become an economicpowerhouse in GreaterVancouver with a numberof post-treaty developmentprojects underway, includ-ing the massive shoppingmalls to open this year.

Meanwhile, a lengthylist of candidates, includ-

ing most of the incum-bents, have their eyeson a seat in the TFNlegislature. Among thatgroup is Kim Baird.

In a recent inter-view, Williamsdescribed some ofhis priorities movingahead, ranging froma housing plan formembers to an elders’centre.

Responding to Bak’scomments, Williamssaid, “We need tospend money to gener-ate revenues. Without

the sewage treatmentplant, we wouldn’t havebeen able to create allthose development oppor-tunities. So we had tospend money to supportour economic growth andwe’re making investments,not just spending money,and on the way to success,I believe.”

Williams noted theTFN’s tax base six yearsago was around $500,000,but it’s now grown to $4.2million net, an amountthat will only rise withfuture development.

As far as consultation,he said he values mem-

bers’ input.“We have a strong con-

sultation process in placeto utilize the informa-tion gathered, basing ourdecisions directly on thefeedback we received.We also utilize a lot of thecommittees we have inplace, like the StandingCommittee on Languageand Culture… Of course,there’s the members’gathering every year thatprovides for a lot of con-sultation in many areas,”he added.

In addition to runningfor chief, Bak and Bairdare both also running for aseat in the legislature.

This year the num-ber of legislators will beincreased from 12 to 13,while the chief will be the14th member of govern-ment. As in past years, thechief and a smaller num-ber of the legislators, whowere the top vote getters inthe election, will form theTFN’s executive council.

The approximately 278eligible TFNmembers willvote Wednesday, April 6.

Ken Baird did notrespond to an interviewrequest.

The TsawwassenFirst Nation has comeout in support of theGeorge Massey TunnelReplacement Project.

“Tsawwassen FirstNation is very supportiveof the plan to replace theGeorge Massey Tunnel,”Chief Bryce Williams saidin a statement Wednesday.

“Tsawwassen First

Nation is building a sus-tainable and vibrant eco-nomic future, one that isintegrated with the rest ofthe region. Travel times toshop, to work or to live onTsawwassen lands dependlargely on replacing theaging tunnel with a bridgedesigned to handle cur-rent and future growth inour corner of the Lower

Mainland.”Also on Wednesday the

province released a reportsummarizing the feedbackit received during Phase 3of public consultation onthe bridge.

According to a govern-ment news release, therewas strong public supportfor capacity improve-ments, and the transit,

cycling and pedestrianmeasures in the project.

The most recent phaseof public consultation ranDec. 16 until Jan. 28 andincluded online feedbackas well as nine stakeholdermeetings and open housesin Delta and Richmond.

The governmentreceived more than 1,000feedback forms and a total

of 750 people attendedthe two open houses. Thestakeholder meetingsincluded more than 100people representing atleast 60 organizations.

Responses werereceived from residentsfrom across the LowerMainland with higherconcentrations in Delta,Richmond and Vancouver.

Delta is planning to givenew life to an underuti-lized and drab section ofLadner’s Memorial Park.

Empty almost year-round, with the excep-tion of being used as abeer garden during theannual May Days festival,the former lacrosse boxat the northwest cornerof the park, according tothe parks, recreation andculture department, hasbecome “a gathering placefor undesirable activities.”

Those activities prompt-ed the municipality to lockthe area up throughoutmuch of the year, furthercompounding its underu-tilization.

A proposal, which willgo through communityconsultation, has comeforward to resurface thespace to provide a numberof recreational activities,including a walking track,

three paintedpickle ballcourts at thesouth endand a skillsdevelop-ment coursedesigned forthose learn-ing to ridebicycles orother activetransporta-tion vehicles.

Parks, rec-reation andculture department direc-tor Ken Kuntz said thecourse will include obsta-cles, such as a slalom,a balance beam, trafficsignage, a teeter-totter andmarkings to replicate aroad with an intersection.The balance beam, teetertotter and slalom elementsare designed to be inter-changeable or removedfrom the colourful surface.

Most of the exist-ing chain link fencearound the area would be

removed.The beer garden for May

Days could still be held atthe site with the erectionof a temporary fence.

The project has an esti-mated $80,000 price tag.

Coun. Robert Campbell,chair of the parks, recrea-tion and culture commis-sion, said the “novel andquite unique idea” wouldbe an improvement overhaving the area “unusedfor 362 days a year.”

If approved, the projectwould be built this fall.

The Easter long week-end proved to be a busyone for Delta police.

In addition to the usualreports of thefts, breakingup a couple of parties anddealing with some peoplewho had a little too muchliquid cheer, officers dealtwith two more seriousincidents, including a manattacked with a macheteand a hit and run thatleft an elderly cyclist withhead injuries.

Early Easter Sundaymorning, officers respond-ed to a report of an assaultwith a weapon in the 8400-block of Scott Road inNorth Delta.

Upon arriving at thescene at around 2:30 a.m.,officers found an injured20-year-old Delta man. Hehad sustained several deepcuts to his head when hewas hit with a machete

and a bottle during a scuf-fle with two other men andtwo women.

A police dog trackedthe suspects from thescene and all four, who areSurrey residents rangingin age from 20 to 23, werearrested. Two of the sus-pects were held in custodyand appeared in court ear-lier this week. Police arerecommending chargesof assault with a weapon.The victim was treated inhospital and released laterthat same day.

The cause of the alterca-tion is not known.

Later that samemorn-ing, officers responded to areport of a cyclist that hadbeen hit by a car, whichthen fled the area.

Officers arrived at thescene at 72nd Avenueand Nicholson Road justbefore 11 a.m. and were

able to track down thevehicle and arrested thefemale driver. She thenfailed a roadside breathtest and was arrested forimpaired driving.

The driver, a 21-year-oldDelta woman, providedsubsequent breath sam-ples that showed she wasalmost three times thelegal limit.

She was released on apromise to appear in courtwith a 90-day driving ban.

Officers are still inves-tigating the incident andA/Sgt. Sarah Swallow saidonce the investigation iscomplete the driver willalso be facing criminalcharges.

The 71-year-old cyclistwas transported to hospi-tal with head injuries. Heremains in hospital buthis injuries are considerednon-life threatening.

Aside from a brief stintdelivering papers for theOptimist, cooking hasbeen the only job for chefKevin Cherkas.

As the first and onlyCanadian chef selected topresent at the upcomingMadrid Fusión Manila,the Asian edition of theworld’s top gastronomi-cal festival, madridfusión,Cherkas has come a longway from his paper routedays.

Born and raised inTsawwassen, the interna-tionally-acclaimed chefwas a restless, overexcitedteenager when he had hisfirst encounter with cook-ing. Under the guidanceof Julius Pokomandy, hisculinary arts teacher atSouth Delta Secondary,Cherkas discovered a posi-tive way of channeling allthat energy.

“He’s the most instru-mental person to myentire culinary career,”said Cherkas. “I just sawso much I liked in him as a

person and I needed to bea part of whatever he wasteaching.”

With a genuine lovefor eating, Cherkas wasinspired to earn his culi-nary arts degree fromVancouver CommunityCollege and later appren-tice at theMetropolitanHotel where hewould receivenumerousawards.

In 2001,Cherkas left B.C.for New York Cityto continue hiscareer at severalMichelin-starrestaurants. Two yearslater, his culinary jour-ney would take him toSpain, home of the annualmadridfusión, and eventu-ally to Bali, where he hasrecently opened his ownworld-renowned restau-rant, Cuca.

This year’s theme forMadrid Fusión Manila is“The Manila Galleon: EastMeets West,” fitting for theTsawwassen chef who’sown style of cooking com-

bines Western techniqueswith fresh, locally sourcedingredients.

Cuca, a Spanish nick-name given to his wifeby her mother, uses onlyIndonesian ingredientsto create quirky comfortdishes made to be shared.

“It’s like if your grandmawent to cooking school,”said Cherkas. “Deliciousand clever.”

The award-winning cheflooks forward to expand-ing Cuca into a second res-taurant and to have one ofhis chefs take over the newlocation. Cherkas hopesto inspire other youngchefs to love what they doby giving them the sameexperiences that wereonce given to him.

ALAN CAMPBELLOptimist contr ibutor

Wednesday — ifyou were in B.C.Transportation MinisterTodd Stone’s camp—wasmyth-busting day.

In front of a mainlyRichmond Chamberof Commerce memberaudience at the SheratonVancouver Airport Hotel— and with a dozen or sovociferous protestors out-side — Stone attemptedto, one by one, blow theso-called George MasseyTunnel replacement mythsout of the water, so tospeak.

Although directinghis comments towardthe rumour-mongers,conspiracy theorists andthose with apparently ill-informed opinions, Stonedid, at least, acknowledgethat “British Columbiansare engaged” in the con-sultation process for theproposed $3.5 billion,10-lane, toll bridge overthe south arm of the FraserRiver.

First, he attacked thenotion the government’sproject team hasn’t con-sulted properly, citing the3,600 pages of informationavailable, more than 100meetings with stakehold-ers and three rounds ofpublic consultation—results from the third ofwhich were released thisweek.

Second, those calling fora federal environmental

assessment of the project— as opposed to the soon-to-take-place provincialversion—were dismissedas being people that arenever happy. He insistedthe B.C. environmentalreview is “tough” and“world class.”

Stone added that noth-ing has happened, to date,that would actually trig-ger a federal review of theproject.

Next up, the conceptof a brand new tunnel,as opposed to a bridge,said Stone, “discountedthousands of hours ofpain-staking effort by theproject team” to weighthe tunnel option, evenadding that a new bridgeis less expensive than atunnel.

Finally, and likely themost prevalent of the“conspiracy theories,”Stone ripped into theassertion that, behind thescenes, it’s actually PortMetro Vancouver that’sdriving the project in orderto further industrialize thesouth arm of the Fraser.

“I hate to break it to theconspiracy theorists outthere… but this projectis driven from a placeof safety,” Stone told thebusiness lunch crowd.

“Is the port a stakehold-er? Of course.”

The current tunnel, saidStone, is not the biggestimpediment to allow-ing larger vessels accessthe south arm, citing theSteveston Cut, Metro

Vancouver pipelines andthe inability for biggercontainer ships to turnaround in the river.

While some in the con-ference hall may havebeen convinced by theminister, several, includingRichmond Coun. HaroldSteves, weren’t buying in.

“He still hasn’tanswered several of(Richmond city council’s)questions and he keeps ongiving different answers tothe ones he does answer,”said a bemused Steves,seconds after Stone hadfinished talking.

“We still want to knowwhat the cost of expand-ing the tunnel was back in2006, when his predeces-sor (Kevin Falcon) told usthat tunnel expansion wasthe way forward.

“They spent around $24million at the time upgrad-ing the tunnel and lo andbehold, three years later(in 2009), they’ve decided

to build a bridge. How didthat happen?”

Steves said he wants toknow why $3.5 billion isbeing spent on a bridge,rather than adding morelanes to the tunnel.

He said city council

is still hoping to get ananswer by April 1, other-wise the city will use thefreedom of informationsystem to get the originalplan for the tunnel.

Meanwhile, the provin-cial government releasedthe results of its latestround of public consulta-tion, claiming “generalsupport” for the plannedtoll bridge.

However, of 874respondents in openhouses and other sessions,44 per cent gave only con-ditional support for tolling,with either a lower toll ortolls on all bridges.

Another 13 per centsupported a standard tollat the newMassey Bridge,while 22 per cent opposedtolling entirely and 14 percent wanted other funding

sources used.According to the feed-

back, Vancouver residentswere more likely to backtolls, while Richmondresidents typically saidthey could accept it if allbridges were tolled at alower rate.

In answer to the con-cerns around tolling, Stonesaid the bridge isn’t sched-uled to be completeduntil 2022 and said lots ofdiscussion can take placebetween now and then.

Of the 1,028 people whoanswered a question aboutthe project scope, just fiveper cent said they had noconcerns and 24 per centsaid they were generallysupportive. Another 31 percent indicated conditionalsupport, while 10 per centwere opposed.

We’ve been waiting forthis weekend for quitesome time.

There’s no big eventin the works, no date

that calls for celebration, but this week-end is special for one particular reason— it’s the last one before next week’sSpring Clean-Up.

Although we get a bang out of thesize and contents of some of the pilesthat have a way of forming duringSpring Clean-Up, most years we’re notbig participants. Oh sure, we can usu-ally find some odds and ends that haveoutlived their usefulness to drag to thecurb, but it’s not like we circle the dateon the calendar or anything.

We have this year.This is the weekend we get to create

a faux leather furniture gallery at thecurb.

I know what you’re thinking: “But,Ted, I thought faux leather would lastforever.” Me too, but as it turns outthat’s not the case.

The loveseat was the first to expire,but it only made it as far as the garage,where it became a comforting spot forour previous dog who developed a fearof the dishwasher in her later years.Now that she’s gone, the loveseat canmake it all the way to the curb, whereit will find a sectional, which has beenin storage at the side of the house sincelast fall.

There’s a good chance they’ll bejoined by a couch, which at the time ofwriting is still inside the house, but isn’tlooking terribly healthy either. When apiece of furniture starts to shed morethan the dog, even I can’t find anythingin the arsenal to convince my wife itdoesn’t need replacing.

Given the couch won’t fit in eithervehicle, this is shaping up to be a make-or-break weekend for it. If it survives,it’s likely here until next spring, butsomething tells me it, and a more thanslightly used area rug, will end up com-pleting a rather sad-looking living roomset at the curb.

I’m almost inclined to arrange it likea showroom in an effort to entice thepickers who will be out in force thisweekend, but I suspect all I’ll attract isthe drunk guy who needs to take a napon his walk home from the pub.

It’s probably just as effective to stackthe pieces in an effort to make it easyon the garbage collectors. After all,upside downmight just be their bestside.

Clutteringthecurb

For the past 10 years orso I have had little needto get to Vancouverexcept to visit my momor old friends every

once in a while, so my opinion oncongestion at the George MasseyTunnel or at Oak Street doesn’treally mean much. For those thatmake the trek daily, the tunnelreplacement is probably a bigdeal for them.

The provincial governmentis claiming that commuters willshave a full half-hour from thedaily drive. I know that I wouldbuy into that as justification forthe $3.5 billion right out of theshoot.

Do you recall a few weeks backthere were several suggestionsfrom within our community thatFOI requests showed there waslittle information on the GeorgeMassey Tunnel ReplacementProject? Turns out there was andis tons of information on the pro-ject.

Some people couldn’t find itbut it is clear the governmentcould have done a better job offraming and telling the historyof the story. Ministry officialshave had more than 60 meetingswith stakeholders in Delta andRichmond over the past severalyears.

It is not like projects of thisscope are decided over a beerand a burger somewhere. Behindclosed doors, in the confines ofthe inner circle, cabinet will makedecisions based on years andyears of ministry planning.

This past Wednesday the

government released its “PhaseThree Consultation Summary” forthe mega project. The report indi-cates public’s view of the projectas generally positive, althoughlike in any report regarding large-scale infrastructure, many of thedetails are subject to interpreta-tion.

In the report, only about 1,000people participated in surveys,yet the government is assertingthat sampling is within the realmof an accurate gauge of publicopinion.

There are several areas ofconcern for the bridge projectthat participants weighed in on.The usual suspects includedperceived bottlenecks at the OakStreet Bridge, conspiracy theoriesrelating to Port Metro Vancouverhoodwinking us about megafreighters negotiating a newlydredged river to the Surrey docks,HOV, pedestrian and LRT lanes,loss of farmland and others.

I am particularly concernedabout potential loss of farmlandbut am happy to see that govern-

ment is planning for a net gain.We all know by now that issuesaround land use, especially farm-land, require careful considera-tion and much compromise.

The type of land within theALR that could be swapped fora net gain remains to be seen. Itseems as though the governmentis doing well to appease the farm-ing community. The RichmondFarmers Institute supports theproject.

Perhaps the most interestingdata in the report was in relationto how to pay for the thing. Interms of tolling, 13 per cent sup-port tolling as proposed, 44 percent indicated conditional sup-port, 14 per cent recommendedalternative sources of fundingand 22 per cent opposed tollingaltogether.

Mayor Lois Jackson’s notion toimplement a low toll for all bridg-es in Metro Vancouver seems tobe resonating with the Ministryof Transportation and in a meet-ing with the Richmond Chamberof Commerce on Wednesday,Minister Todd Stone seemedreceptive to the idea of develop-ing a regional tolling strategy andsuggested that we have a coupleof years to figure that out.

To me, Delta’s support of thenew crossing is not necessarilypopular here, but it is pragmaticand positive for our region.Mike Schneider is founder of

Editor:Re: Port has its eyes on

Delta farmland despitedubious need to expand,

letter to the editor,March 23

Roger Emsley’s lettercontains incorrect asser-tions regarding the growthof Canadian containertraffic on the West Coastas well as Port MetroVancouver’s positionregarding agriculturalland.

We live in a regionwhere available land isscarce, whether it’s forresidential, agricultural orindustrial development.The reality of our situationis that we are going to haveto work together to findcreative ways that ensureour land supply meetsthe needs of our growingpopulation, whether forhousing, food or jobs.

In the same waythat agricultural landin B.C. is protected bythe Agricultural Land

Commission, we havebeen advocating for simi-lar protection for trade-enabling industrial land.Left unchecked, the pres-sures facing industrial landin the Lower Mainlandwill reduce our ability toaccommodate trade thatsupports a growing popu-lation and provide high-paying jobs in the region,as well as further increasethe pressure from industryon agricultural lands.

Even with global vola-tility and slowing growthin China, Port MetroVancouver handled arecord 3.1 million TEUs in2015, up five per cent overthe prior year. Not only isthis the fourth straight yearof record container growththrough Vancouver, itis also the fourth con-secutive year of growth forCanadian container traffic.

Despite the slowdownin 2009 due to the globalrecession, Canadian con-tainer traffic has been

above the 2008 level since2012. Emsley’s suggestionthat Canadian traffic lastyear was lower than in2008 is factually incorrect.

Our independent thirdparty forecasts have indi-cated this growth willcontinue over the longterm, and that even withplanned improvements atDeltaport and Centerm,as well as expansion ofFairview Terminal inPrince Rupert, we willstill require additionalcontainer capacity in themid-2020s. Subject toenvironmental approval,the Roberts Bank Terminal2 project would meet thatneed, and deliver benefitsto Canadians for genera-tions to come.

Greed— that rampant,virulent, contagious socialdisease — so evident inVancouver’s housing mar-ket has landed in Ladner.

The notion of single-family homes involved

in a land assembly in anarea designated single-family under the OfficialCommunity Plan raisessome questions.

Did the realtors haveone of those approvalseeking, secret meetingsthat Delta council has withdevelopers before they

proceed with their plans?Did the unknown devel-oper have such a meeting?Are official communityplans no longer relevant?Are they a joke? Just whatis going on here?

Will this disease spread?Just checking.

Clark’s provincial govern-ment to remove the tollsfrom all crossings for aperiod of eight weeks.This will give them theirstudy on how traffic flowwill be affected by hav-ing all crossings tolled at$1 per use as suggestedrecently by Delta Mayor

cessful, it will save billionsof dollars on the proposednew Deas Island crossing.The money saved couldbe spent on the childrenof this province who areour future and in muchneed of provincial sup-port as well as many otherprojects that can make

this province stronger.I am of the belief this

Editor:With news of four-year-

On more than one occa-sion in our family-friendlyLadner, I have seen littlechildren left alone in theirparents’ cars while theirparents were in a store. I

have reported the licenseplate to the police.

Today I watched as achild left a younger childin a car seat to find herparent who was in thebank. The car door wasajar on this younger child’sside and since I was wor-ried for the child, I waitedand was ready to phonethe police when the adult

came out with the littlegirl. He didn’t notice thecar door ajar so I told him.I told the man I was wor-ried.

Why is it so hard to takeour little ones with uswhen we have to leave ourcars? Are they not moreprecious and valuablethan anything else?

Allison Knox

Editor:Pure ugly. That’s the

only way I can describethe new traffic controlspeed bumps, signageand concrete barriers justplaced along 50B Street.

What an embarrass-ment. I can’t believe theengineering department

and Delta council passedthis one. Everywhere youlook in Tsawwassen thereis a general movementtoward beautification andimprovement. When youlook at what transpiredhere, I think the resultspeaks for itself.

I urge Delta to be hon-

est with itself and callthis a very ill thought outproject. Please, no more.And spend our tax dollarswhere it counts.

I could name a fewother municipalities thatthis road now looks like it’sa part of but I’ll refrain.

uch has changed since a South Deltapensioner was evicted 40 years ago.Secondary suites are viewed as muchneeded form of housing now, but theywere looked upon with contempt backin 1976 when then-mayor Tom Goode

declared a crackdown on so-called “illegalsuites.”Caught up in the controversy in January of thatyear was Eric Anderson, 71, who had beenliving in a “very nice” Grove Avenue basementsuite, paying $120 per month for his lodgingand utilities.Saying he searched for months in vain to findaffordable accommodation elsewhere, An-derson, a veteran who had no savings, madepublic his fears he’d be thrown out onto thestreets.His landlord, Dave Bennett, described thesituation as “silly” and said he would refuse tophysically oust thesenior, despite Del-ta’s eviction noticethat came followinga complaint by an-other homeowner.Bennett was sum-moned to appearin Delta provincialcourt, as were 25other similar casesat the time.Goode explainedbuilding inspectorsweren’t seekingout illegal suitesbut were acting oncomplaints, notingthe only occasiona suite was permit-ted was when adirect relative askedpermission from themunicipality. Ap-plications had to beaccompanied by aconfirmatory letter from a family doctor.“I think we have the right to dictate to theowner of a home who can be allowed to live inthe unit,” Goode said. “I know the municipalitydoesn’t own the building, but the communityas a whole has a say.”Delta council then approved a bylaw limitingsuite occupants tofamily members,forcing Anderson tomove, but even thatdidn’t satisfy a groupof Ladner residentsthat threatened legalaction against Delta,saying the bylawdidn’t go far enoughand that the munici-pality wasn’t doingenough to crackdown on existingsuites.By the late 1990s,the courts hadthrown out a Deltabylaw prohibitingsuites, unless oc-cupied by a familymember, and foryears after that therewasn’t any attemptto either permit orban the units.In 1999, councilconsidered a referendum but instead opted tomonitor the situation, only acting on a com-plaint basis. At that time, Delta staff assumed15 to 20 per cent of single-family housingstock contained illegal suites.Delta’s policy had become one in which staffworked with suite owners to minimize the

impact on surrounding neighbourhoods. Suitesthat posed no problems but were reported tothe municipality no longer faced immediateclosure, unlike previously when any complaint,regardless of reason, triggered a closure order.Fast-forward to 2009 and attitudes were finallychanging when the municipality struck a hous-ing task force to look at the complex issue ofcreating more affordable options. By then, itwas acknowledged the rising cost of housingand diminishing rental stock had increased thedemand for secondary suites.“There is little rental stock being added to thehousing inventory making it difficult for somepeople to find affordable rental housing,”stated a task force report.The first task force recommendation, approvedin 2010, was the legalization of secondarysuites. By then, Delta was one of the last mu-nicipalities to do so.

“Secondary suites offer amuch-needed affordablehousing option in our com-munity,” said Mayor LoisJackson at the time. “It hastaken us a number of yearsto get to this point and it isimportant for our residents’safety that we regulatethese suites to ensure theyare built in a safe man-ner that adhere to the B.Cbuilding codes.”At the time the bylaw wasadopted, the municipalityestimated there were 5,300to 7,000 secondary suitesof all types in Delta, manyof which did not meet zon-ing or building standards.Now in 2016, according tothe civic planning depart-ment, there are 2,156registered suites spreadthroughout Delta, althoughthe majority are in North

Delta.At the beginning of the secondary suiteprogram, the municipality received over 30applications a month, but that number is nowin the 10 to 15 range. To encourage propertyowners to register, Delta has waived the feesfor preliminary inspections that determine the

upgrades needed in orderto legalize a suite.Most new subdivisions inNorth Delta now includeapplications to constructa basement with a suite,said planning director JeffDay. In 2015, 82 build-ing permits were issuedfor single-family dwellingsin North Delta and 75 ofthose included secondarysuites, he said.As far as how many illegalsuites are still out thereand what Delta does totrack them down, the plan-ning department does nothave an accurate estimate.Delta has a team thatfocuses on finding illegalsuites on an ongoing basis,Day said, adding the ma-jority of the identificationcomes from resident com-plaints, while staff utilizeother methods as well.

Bob de Wit, chief executive officer with theGreater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association,said Delta has been progressive on the issue.“What I’m hearing is that the process is neverthat easy in any city, but Delta is a lot betterwhen it comes to secondary suites. In fact,they have an amnesty process for bringing ille-

gal suites into the legalsphere by waiving acouple of their inspec-tion fees and encour-aging people to bringthem into the legalcategory,” he said.“It’s pretty clear fromour perspective thatsecondary suites are akey part of the afford-able housing strategyfor the city of Deltabecause, unlike someof these cities that havelarge tracts of lowerdensity and higher den-sity housing, there’s nota lot of that in Delta.”According to the B.C. Non-Profit Hous-ing Agency (NPHA), which partnered withVancity credit union to develop the RentalHousing Index for B.C., 19 per cent of Deltahouseholds are rented, with the average rentand utilities at $974. The index also found37 per cent spend more than 30 per cent oftheir income on housing, a high number butnot as high as places like Richmond (47 percent) or Vancouver (46 per cent).Metro Vancouver has projected that in thenext 10 years renter demand in Delta willincrease by 700 more households, 190 ofwhich will be “low income” and 370 will be“very low” income.To address that, Delta council recentlyendorsed Metro Vancouver’s draft RegionalAffordable Housing Strategy, which includesa vision, goals and strategies as well as ac-tions to address affordable housing needsin the region. Although the number of rentalhousing units coming onto the markethas increased in recent years, given highconstruction costs and limited governmentfunding, achieving housing estimates forthe low to moderate income group is still notbeing met, a report notes.The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corpo-ration has warned rental vacancy rates willcontinue to plunge while rental prices willincrease. Those projections give even morereason to keep adding secondary suites asthey’re one of the most cost-effective waysof providing additional rental housing, saidde Wit.

However, concerns haven’t gone all away.One issue Delta council addressed last sum-mer had to do with parking, as new regula-tions were introduced aimed at penalizinghomeowners with suites that make theirtenants park on the street.Jackson, a member of Delta council sincethe early 1970s, even before Anderson wasforced out, is concerned by what is happen-ing to neighbourhoods, saying the munici-pality is looking at the issue and trying todecide whether allowing basements andsecondary suites should be an automatic.“Yes, we want to provide alternate housingand a lot of the times secondary suites are aplace young people can live, however, whatis happening is we are finding tremendousproblems with all of our streets clogged withparked cars. Theoretically, you could havefive cars for just one house. So originallyyou would have one house on one lot withmaybe three cars for a family, but you teardown that house and put up two, and withbasement suites, it means under that sameformula you could now have 10 cars forthose two houses. We are seeing that on allour streets and what I’m saying is maybewe should not allow suites by right,” saidthe six-term mayor.“We have a lot of cul-de-sacs in NorthDelta and that was done intentionallyyears ago to cloister the neighbour-

hood and allow a quieter neighbourhoodwhere children can play. I think we haveto do some analyzing here. Do we want totake that one big house with that one lot andcover it with the maximum size with a base-ment suite, illegal or not?“If we do that with all of North Delta, we aregoing to change that whole idea of the fam-ily neighbourhoods we know today. That’stroubling for me. I have said a 31-foot lot inNorth Delta is unacceptable, especially onewith a basement suite.”According to Westcoast Environmental Law,secondary suites provide a variety of ben-efits to neighbourhoods and communities,are a significant source of affordable hous-ing in serviced areas and do not changethe character of neighbourhoods whilediversifying the housing types available.The organization also notes that de-spite the benefits, secondary suitescontinue to generate considerabledebate in most communities.

The Canada Mortgage and HousingCorporation has warned rental vacancyrates will continue to plunge while rentalprices will increase.

Many new homes, particularly those inNorth Delta, include a secondary suite.

It’s pretty clear from our perspective

that secondary suites are a key part

of the affordable housing strategy

for the city of Delta.

They were born under a porch in Delta and when the homeowner found6 little furry bunnies hopping around she was able to scoop them up when theirmom disappeared. Rabbits are a true commitment as they live 8-10 years, being asyoung as they are this Easter bunch will be well socialized as long as adopters areable to take the time to handle them gently and get them used to people.

On Sunday, March 20my wife and I informedSouth Delta BaptistChurch that we havebeen called to an assign-ment at a new church inMinneapolis, Minnesota.Though we will be herefor a few weeks, changecauses one to reflect onall of the events that havehappened during morethan eight years since wearrived.

God has been verygood to our church. We’vebeen able to create newand sustainable compas-sion ministries within theDelta area and aroundthe world. We’ve becomea unified congregationthat is set upon the mis-sion of reaching the worldfor Jesus Christ. I knowthat South Delta BaptistChurch will continue to bean important part of ourcommunity.

Wendi and I would liketo say thank you. You wel-comed us with open armsin 2007. You helped usassimilate into our com-munity.

Then, in 2013, wewalked through the mur-der of our 21-year-old sonTaylor. Your care over ourfamily was amazing.

Our IHIT detectiveswere professional and car-

ing. The social servicesall over our communitykicked in and providedmuch needed help. VictimServices in Delta walkedus through the entire pro-cess, including all of thelegal portions of an eventlike this. Many others sentnotes and we receivedwonderfully kind phonecalls. Thank you all somuch!

We will miss you. We somuch appreciate beautifulBritish Columbia, but wemust go where God calls.So, always remember thateven in the darkest timesJesus loves you. Our familyis a testimony to this truth.Don’t give up.

“If from there you seekthe Lord your God, youwill find him if you seekhim with all your heartand with all your soul.”(Deuteronomy 4:29)

God bless you all!

LouiseLatremouille’slatest computerguidebook tack-les Microsoft’s

newest operating system.Learn Windows 10

marks the smallest of herbooks and is presented ina bit of a different format.

“The waythis book iswritten ismore like anold schoolworkbook,”explains theTsawwassenresident, not-ing there areexercises forthe reader topractice foreverythingthey learn.

“Every stepof the way there’s a prac-tice.”

Latremouille, who haswritten a series of easy tounderstand computer andInternet guidebooks, saysWindows 10 is very intui-tive and quick to teach.She likes the operating sys-tem’s speed, its apps andthe new Edge browser.

She published her firstbook,My Parents FirstComputer and InternetGuide, in 2004. She gotstarted by putting togetherhow-to notes for her par-

ents after they received ahand-me-down PC, organ-izing the notes into a bookand printing 20 copies forfamily and friends.

Latremouille, wholost her father to cancer,donates a portion of herbook sales towards cancerresearch and patient care,contributing $37,000 so far.

“That’s been a big partof the books for me,” she

says, add-ing shefrequentlygets feed-back andstoriesfrom peo-ple whoknowsomeonewith can-cer.

Anotherchange forher latestbook is

taking the “My Parents”tag off of the title.

“I found with the oper-ating systems changing sofast, people having to learnthe new systems are get-ting younger and younger,”she says. “People justdon’t want to go througha learning curve. You justwant it fast and easy andsimple.”

Her new guidebook isavailable through her web-site, www.myparentsfirst.com, and at local bookstores.

Lifestyles

Standingdesksnot thesaviour first thought

We all knowthat sittingis bad forus. Heck,most of us

feel it when we sit for toolong.

We feel our low backstart to throb when seatedon the plane. Or, our hippain flares up when in thecar for a long period oftime.

Or, the ache in ourknees when seated at anevent and we simply can’tstretch out our legs.

Some of these activi-ties we can control whileothers, like sitting in frontof a computer all day, wecan’t. If you are one themany Canadians who has

to work for a living, thenyou might not be able toavoid sitting while doingyour job.

Prolonged sitting hasbeen linked to heart dis-ease, a shorter life span,diabetes and cancer.

One study (MayoClinic.org) compared adults whospent less than two hoursa day in front of the TV orother screen-based activ-ity, with those who loggedmore than four hours aday.

Those with the greaterscreen time/sit timehad a nearly 50 per centincreased risk of deathfrom any cause, and abouta 125 per cent increasedrisk of events associatedwith cardiovascular dis-ease — such as chest pain(angina) or heart attack.

What’s worse, is nowthey have found thatspending a few hours aweek at the gym or oth-erwise engaging in othermoderate to vigorousactivities does not seem tooffset the damages that sit-ting does.

What does then?Well, for the past few

years standing desks have

been touted as the saviourto sitting.

These desks, whichcan be adjusted so youcan work in either a sitor stand position, havebecome extremely popular(just Google “buy sit-standdesk” and you will get overtwo million hits).

But do they really work?Does standing in oneplace do anything for yourhealth?

Recently researchersfrom a Cochrane workgroup took a look at 20 dif-ferent studies with a total

of 2,174 participants. Theiraim was to see if work-place interventions andchanges actually helped,and if the participants satless because of these inter-ventions.

The variety of studiesthat were evaluated useddifferent forms of inter-ventions. Some used infor-mation and counselling toencourage people to movemore through the day.

Others looked at soft-ware, some at mindfulnesstraining and almost halfof all the studies assessed

looked at the effects ofactive workstations (i.e.standing desks).

What did they find? Abig fat nothing.

They found that none ofthe interventions had anyreal impact on our sit time,and that sit-stand deskshad “very low quality ofevidence” that it reducedsitting at work in the short-term (to date there are nolong-term studies).

The studies alsorevealed that sit-standdesks did not have anyconsiderable effects onwork performance, mus-culoskeletal symptoms(such as low back pain) orsick leave.

There were too few par-ticipants and too manypoorly designed studiesthat no real data could begleaned from them.

Some experts alsoargue that simply stand-ing in one place is reallyno different than sittingin one place. There is noevidence that standing forfour hours, as opposed tositting, will provide youwith health benefits.

In fact, prolonged sit-ting and standing are

both shown to heightenyour risk of enlarged veins(hello varicose veins).

So, what do you do?How can you offset the ill-effects sitting has on thebody?

Right now science doesnot have an exact answerfor us. As indicated in theCochrane study, moreresearch, with a muchlarger sample group, forlonger periods of time isneeded.

In the meantime, wemust move our bodiesmore. We have become asociety of sitters, whetherit’s in the car, at a desk orin front of the TV.

I think once we remem-ber that our bodies are themachines that should bepowering us through life,we will take the necessarysteps (literally and meta-phorically) to solve our sit-ting problem.

Until then, give me 10squats every time yourbutt hits a chair.PJ Wren is a local per-

sonal trainer and writerwho sat guiltily for 90 min-utes while writing this col-umn. She can be reachedat www.fitnesswithpj.com.

Well onYour WayP.J.WREN

The jury is still out on whether standing desks areany better for you than sitting at a desk all day.Movingmore is the key to better health.


DESTINATIONBC/ANDREWSTRAINDining atPoplarGroveWinery

Need a last-minutebudget-friendly getawayidea? Take a B.C. food tripadventure and taste theunique local flavours fromaround the province. Fromseaside to mountaintopand the verdant valleys inbetween, B.C.’s regionalingredients are as varied asthe culinary traditions ofthe people who live here.

Here are just a few tosavour.

SEATOSKYJohn Bishop of Bishop’sin Kitsilano and SinclairPhilip of Sooke HarbourHouse near Victoria,launched the “eat local”movement in the 1980s,introducing diners to localdelicacies such as freshspot prawns and savourypine mushrooms. Thatinspired a new generationof chefs hungry for localingredients.

That includes Vancouver’sAndrea Carlson of Burdock&Co. andChrisWhittakerof Forage, who fill theirtables with farm fresh

Fraser Valley ingredients.Ali Ryan of Victoria’s Spin-nakers Gastro Brewpubsources produce from thenearby Cowichan Valleyfor her elevated pub grub.The surrounding watersprovide everything fromsea salt and fin fish to thebriny bivalves chef JamesWalt serves at Whistler’sAraxi Restaurant + OysterBar.

Explore Granville IslandPublic Market or join aVancouver Foodie Tourfor a sampler of Vancou-ver’s food scene; a pubcrawl aboard the VictoriaHarbour Ferries is asquintessential an experi-ence as afternoon tea atThe Empress. In Whistler,end a day of skiing with adelicious slope-side fondueor visit to the Bearfoot Bis-tro’s vodka tasting room.

RAINFORESTB.C’s coastal waters andlush rainforests are fullof delicious things to eat:from spot prawns andDungeness crab to wildmushrooms, berries and

fiddleheads. This is wherechefs like Nicholas Nuttingcome to play with ingredi-ents they can find nowhereelse.

Nutting leads the kitchenat Tofino’s Wolf in the Fogand previously worked atthe renownedWickaninn-ish Inn, where he followedthe local ingredient ethosestablished by chef RodneyButters.

SamplingSanDiego’sfrothybeersceneCalifornia city, theCraft Beer Capital of NorthAmerica, has becomeamecca for brewenthusiastsHANS TAMMEMAGIOptimist contr ibutor

Irevere the amber fluid and wasexcited when my dearest, Ally, andI had the opportunity to visit SanDiego and see if it really has a claimto be the Craft Beer Capital of North

America.The first evening we visited the Draft

Restaurant in surf-side Mission Beachwhere our server, Matteo, waved his armsand said, “Of course, no question thatSan Diego is tops in beer. We have over100 breweries, micro breweries and brewpubs in this county. Many are eclectic.”

Then he confronted us with a mind-boggling choice. Draft offered 100 localbeers, with 69 served from a long line oftaps.

But we couldn’t help wonder: With thatmany taps, how can the servers possiblyfind the right one? We tested Matteo byordering Cali Creamin, a vanilla creamale by Mother Earth Brewing Company,and Devotion Belgian Blonde Ale by LostAbbey Brewing Company and timed hisresponse. Happily, our requested aleswere back in short order, and they weresuperb.

Sporting a moustache of foam, Allysmiled, clinked glasses and said, “I don’tusually like ale, but this is great. I cantaste why craft beer has become so popu-lar.”

We were in heaven sampling ales, por-ters, classic lagers and IPAs.

To get further insight into the fast grow-ing beer craze, next day my dearest and Isought out the Stone Brewing Co., whichwas awarded the accolade “All-TimeTop Brewery on Planet Earth” by BeerAdvocate magazine in 2013, and whichmany credit for leading San Diego’s beercharge.

We entered their World Bistro &Gardens in Escondido, just north of thecity, where you can sit inside next tothe tanks and piping where their beeris made, or outside in the sunshine andwarmth for which this city is famous,surrounded by an immense garden. Wedecided to further our research on thepatio.

Over a pint of Stone Pale Ale, their flag-ship beer, and an Oaked Arrogant BastardAle, we also tested their kitchen. Ally bitinto coconut green curry salmon andmussels while I tried the chef’s specialty,

Portuguese sausage and kale rigatoni.Yummy!

Kim, the server, explained, “A big partof the brewery’s success comes fromtheir own farm where they grow hopsfor the beer and food for the restaurant.Everything’s organic”

Happily rubbing my tummy, I askedabout their most unusual beer?

“We have several experimentals likeStone Coffee Milk Stout, a bittersweet,creamy, coffee-laced stout,” respondedKim. “But my favourite is the GrapefruitSlam IPA, a double India pale ale utilizinggrapefruit peel.”

I was impressed, not only by the out-standing beers but also by the solar pan-els covering the roof.

“Another reason for Stone’s successis our guardian, a gargoyle, who wardsoff the evil spirits of beer, namely, cheapingredients, pasteurization and chemical

additives,” Kim said.Next evening, we entered the Yard

House in the historic Gaslamp Quarterwith the goal of verifying their boast ofhaving the largest selection of draft beerin the world. Our eyes widened as we sawtheir “transparent” keg room, which wascrammed with 600 barrels containing4,000 gallons of beer and 130 tap handles.Wow! We were enthralled, and realizedwe faced a mammoth challenge.

The server, Charlotte, describeda range of brews, including classic lagersand obscure ales and stouts served inauthentic goblets, pints and half-yardglasses. We settled for a row of tastingglasses filled with attractive fluids of dif-ferent colours, foaminess and clarity.

Sipping contentedly, we felt like wewere in an art gallery for the walls werealive with many attractive paintings. Wesampled from the menu, which offered

an array of tasty, trendy cuisine. Toastingthe Yard House and its unusual keg room,we realized that good research isn’t reallythat difficult; it just requires persever-ance.

Over the next few days we visitedseveral more breweries, but on our lastday admitted that we were simply out-numbered. San Diego definitely is achampion of craft beer. We promised toreturn, perhaps during Beer Week in earlyNovember. So much work remains.

I want to sample Oi!, a wine-barrelaged English Brown Ale by TwistedManzanita Ales & Spirits, a HabeneroSculpin (very hot!) IPA at Ballast PointBrewing Company, a Peanut Butter MilkStout at the Belching Beaver Brewing Co.and much more. It’s good to have chal-lenges.Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent

MarkusThormeyer opts forUBC aftermaking verbal commitment toUSCOne of Canada’s top young

swimmers will be continuing hispromising career in local watersafter all.

After making a verbal commit-ment to the USC Trojans last fall,Tsawwassen’s Markus Thormeyerhas opted to sign with the UBCThunderbirds.

The 18-year-old already hasbeen training at UBC sinceSeptember as part of SwimCanada’s High PerformanceCentre, under coach TomJohnson.

“I chose UBC because it isthe best swimming program inCanada – they have the mostCIS championship titles and theHPC, which is affiliated with thevarsity team, is one of the toptraining centres in the country,”Thormeyer said. “Training withthe team for the past few months,and getting to know Tom andeveryone else, I couldn’t leavethem.”

Thormeyer will bring an exten-sive international resume to thePoint Grey Campus. The WinskillDolphins Swim Club productmade his presence felt interna-tionally at the 2013 FINAWorldJunior Championships. Just 16years old at the time, Thormeyerwas the youngest member of theCanadian squad.

The South Delta SecondarySchool graduate continued to

make waves at the junior level,taking five total gold medals atthe Speedo Western CanadianSwimming Championships overthe 2014 and 2015 editions of thetournament.

After finishing second in the100m and 200m backstroke at theCanadian Trials over the summer,the 6-foot-5 Thormeyer made hissenior national team debut at the2015 Toronto Pan-Am Games. Heled off the morning heats for the4×100-metre freestyle, which wenton to earn a bronze medal in thefinal. Individually, Thormeyer alsoleft Toronto with a seventh-placefinish in the 100m backstroke, aswell as a 19th place showing in the200m freestyle.

Thormeyer’s ability and experi-ence make him a massive get forthe Thunderbirds and head coachSteve Price.

“Markus was the top prospectin the country. as far as I’m con-cerned,” said Price. “He’s one ofthe biggest additions to our men’sprogram in a few years, and he isgoing to be great for both us andfor Canada for a very long time.

“Anytime a guy like that, who isso highly regarded in the NCAA,decides to stay home and swimfor a program here is fantastic,”said Price. “We have a pretty greatmen’s team, and have alreadydone some pretty solid recruitingfor next year, but Markus coming

here takes it to a whole other level.Thormeyer will return to the

Pan Am Games Sports Centre next

week for the Canadian OlympicTrials, looking to earn a spot inRio this summer.

the Attack in three tries,including a 3-2 loss inpenalty kicks in league cupplay back in February.

Similar to the Blues, theCeltic have been a forcesince becoming the first-ever Ladner team to reach

the Coastal “A” Cup finalat U13.

Even with six play-ers moving onto the B.C.Premier Soccer LeagueandMetro Selects the fol-lowing season, Ladnerstill won the Delta Districtplaydowns two years later.

When many of the boysreturned to their home-town club at U16, Ladnercapped a dominating runby becoming just the sec-ond team in the history ofLadner Boys Soccer to winthe Coastal “B” Cup.

Celtic went on to cap-ture bronze at the provin-cials that year. A 2-1 lossto eventual championKelowna kept them out ofthe final.

Last season, Ladnerreached the Coastal Cupquarter-finals beforebowing out to provincialchampion CCB Elite 2-1 inovertime.

Jenny was very passionate about hervolunteer work with London Heritage Farms inRichmond for the past 12 years and for many yearsshe enjoyed showing her various crafts at fairsthroughout the Lower Mainland. She loved herhome, gardening, cooking and baking for familyand friends and was always up to a newadventure. With her family she lovedbeachcombing and eating seafood on MayneIsland, sightseeing on Gabriola and good timesspent in Chilliwack. Her love of life and enthusiasmwill be greatly missed by us all. There will be noservice as requested by Jenny but if anyoneshould want to donate to the Irene ThomasHospice Society it would be greatly appreciated.

STIMSON, Jean EvelynMay 11, 1919 - March 20, 2016

Jean was born in Semans, Saskatchewan on May11th, 1919 and passed away in Tsawwassen, BC onMarch 20th, 2016 in her 97th year. During her life,Jean resided in many different locations. Some ofthe places she lived were Saskatchewan, SouthDakota, Alberta, and Vancouver Island. Eventually,due to health reasons, Jean settled into Kin Villagein Tsawwassen. One of seven children of Malcomand Jean Nicolson, Jean grew up on the familyfarm. Jean’s passion included riding horses,especially bareback, herding cattle, and laying onher horse’s back under a shady tree, with a goodbook. When she was 19, while attending college inRegina, Jean met the Love of Her Life: Calvin LeroyStimson. And so their story began...Jean andCalvin had five children: Darryl, Dennis, Doug, Jim,and Cheri. Though life was not always easy, Jeanwas a consistent, caring, loving, stable presencefor her family. Through her steadfast faith andunwavering Love of God, she became thematriarch who held the ever- growing familytogether. Jean was a gentle, sweet soul whoalways maintained her sense of humour. In 1976,Jean was predeceased by her husband Calvin andthen in 1996 by her beloved daughter Cheri. Jeanleaves a family spanning five generations whowere all touched and truly blessed to have knownher grace and kindness. One of Jean’s favouriteScriptures, which she often quoted was Proverbs3: 5-6 5: Trust In The Lord with all your heart andlean not into your own understanding. And 6: In allyour ways acknowledge Him and He shall directyour path. There will be a Celebration of Life andService for Jean on Saturday, April 9th at 2.00 pmat the Tsawwassen United Church, 693 53rdStreet, Tsawwassen BC. For Jean’s final RestingPlace, Interment will follow at a later date, in VictoriaBC. In lieu of flowers, the Stimson family wouldappreciate donations to the

After a year hiatus, theBoundary Bay Air Show returns

next weekend.Boundary Bay Airport manager

Lyle Soetaert said organizers have

lined up a lot of great acts for the

free event, which is set for the

afternoon of Saturday, July 28.The show’s aerial lineup fea-

tures Red Bull Air Race pilotPete McLeod, L29 jets flying in

formation, a simulated air race

with Harvards and much more.

There will also be displays on the

ground.The air show is presented by

the Corporation of Delta in part-

nership with Alpha Aviation, the

company that operates the munici-

pally-owned airport.• For more on the show, see

pages 27-30.

Elephant’s Ears!

PHOTO BY DORIS SEGERS

Tsawwassen’s Doris Segers’ granddaughter Corrine Van Vliet (left) and daughter Kathy Van Vliet pose for a photo

beside a huge plant in Segers’ back yard. Segers calls the plant “Elephant’s Ears” and says the leaves range from

three to six feet wide. “It’s really, really big,” she said, noting the plant is still growing.

Museum is tooLadner-centricThe Delta Museum and

Archives wants to be more well

rounded by bringing together the

three solitudes.That’s the description executive

director Mark Sakai offers when it

comes to Delta’s three communi-

ties — Ladner, Tsawwassen and

North Delta — which all have

their own unique histories, demo-

graphics and concerns.The museum, which is located

in Ladner Village and whoseboard of trustees is mostly from

that community, still seems some-

what Ladner-centric, he said.In his society’s most recent

newsletter, Sakai discussed how

artifacts, photographs and docu-

ments in the collection could use

more flavour from Tsawwassen

and North Delta.He told the Optimist that many

of the museum’s exhibits andprograms are based on Ladner

history, an unacceptable situation

he’d like to see changed by filling

in the gaps.“It is a challenge to connect the

communities that are so different

and have their own reasons to feel

that they’re Deltans,” he said.Delta is in a unique position

in the Lower Mainland because

there’s such a wide geographic

distance between the major popu-

lation nodes, he explained.The largest community is North

Delta, attached to Surrey, while

both Ladner and Tsawwassenessentially function as islands.

What’s more, there doesn’t seem

to be a natural north-south con-

nection, which poses a challenge

for the organization trying toserve all of Delta.

Executive director appeals to Tsawwassen

and North Delta to help bolster collection
