Big year for South DeltaSome landscape-altering projects are
now in the works in Delta and 2013promises to be a critical year for
these undertakings.One, the South Fraser Perimeter Road, is
scheduled to open, while the form or fateof others could be decided in the coming12 months.
Here’s a list, in no particular order, ofsome of those major stories that will even-tually result in an impact on South Deltans:
South Fraser Perimeter RoadThis isn’t a new story, as the SFPR has
been a decade in the making, but by theend of this year the highway will be aneveryday reality.
The SFPR will be a 40-kilometre, four-lane route along the south side of the FraserRiver, from Deltaport Way in South Deltato 176th Street (Highway 15) in Surrey.
The first stretch of SFPR, now officiallynamed Highway 17, opened last month inSurrey. The current Highway 17 in SouthDelta has been renamed Highway 17A.
The second and final phase of SFPR,a stretch from 136th Street in Surreyto Deltaport Way, is to be finished byDecember.
Municipal engineer director Steven Lanexplained that trucks heading to Deltaportthrough the George Massey Tunnel will notturn off at Highway 17, but instead will bedirected further along Highway 99 to a newSFPR interchange near 72nd Street. Othermotorists heading to Tsawwassen can also
use the new route.Meanwhile, those coming out of
Tsawwassen or from the ferry terminal willtravel along the new highway to the inter-change at Highway 99, where they can pro-ceed on Highway 99 toward the tunnel.
Those in Tsawwassen wanting to take theold Highway 17A and avoid the SFPR cando so via a single-lane off-ramp. Highway17A will be designated as local road forLadner-bound traffic, but the stretch ofhighway won’t be downloaded to Delta.Lan said that’s because it’s still a provin-cial highway that can expect lots of trafficthanks to Tsawwassen First Nation develop-ment.
Tsawwassen First NationBy now, most Deltans are well aware of
the major housing developments and shop-ping mall plans. Preliminary site work hasalready begun for the malls and the startof the next phase, involving bringing infill, will commence this month. The FirstNation notes it’s taking all possible stepsto minimize traffic disruptions, but limitedlane closures may be in effect on Highway17A during off-peak hours.
The TFN Economic DevelopmentCorporation is in partnership with IvanhoeCambridge and Property DevelopmentGroup to develop almost 1.8 million squarefeet of shopping and office space on 72hectares (180 acres) just off Highway 17Aat 52nd Street. Ivanhoe Cambridge’s projectwould comprise 1.2 million square feet as adestination retail and entertainment centre.Called Tsawwassen Mills, it would fol-low the model of the huge CrossIron Mills
north of Calgary and Vaughan Mills northof Toronto. Property Development Groupis planning to develop an outdoor retailmall comprising 550,000 square feet calledTsawwassen Commons. The shopping cen-tres are to open by 2015. The TFN is in theplanning stages of major road upgrades andalterations to deal with the traffic volume.
In the coming 12 months the First Nationwill also be moving forward with large-scale housing and industrial developmentswhile trying to reach some sort of agree-ment to increase sewer capacity to serviceall these projects.
On another front, truckloads of garbageheading to TFN are still a real possibility asthe First Nation is in the running to build awaste-to-energy facility. Metro Vancouveris examining options and could make adecision in 2013.
T2 and the future of farmlandA new three-berth container facility
is inching closer to reality as Port MetroVancouver’s proposed Terminal 2 woulddouble container capacity at Roberts Bank.
The port, which recently wrapped up itslatest consultations on a preliminary T2design, notes the project will be subject toa thorough and independent environmen-tal assessment. Subject to environmentalapprovals, the project, which could be oper-ational by 2024, would be made up of threemajor components: the marine terminal,road and rail infrastructure on the RobertsBank causeway and upland road and railinfrastructure.
Meanwhile, the port authority is stillworking on revising its land use plan and
expects completion this year. The possibil-ity of vast tracts of the Agricultural LandReserve being lost for port-related develop-ment was big news this year and may bejust that in 2013.
Pointing to the shortage of industrialland, Port Metro Vancouver CEO RobinSilvester told Delta council that takingfarmland out of the ALR would be a lastresort.
SouthlandsThe 215-hectare (536-acre) property in
Tsawwassen is perhaps the most conten-tious piece of real estate in Delta’s history.This promises to be a pivotal year in theproperty’s history as the Century Group isproposing to build 950 housing units whiledeeding a large tract of land to Delta forcommunity-based farming.
It remains to be seen how that applica-tion, which faces fierce opposition, particu-larly from Boundary Bay residents, playsout this year as Delta council will considergiving it preliminary approval in the nextcouple of months.
There’s no doubt a big crowd, with forcesboth pro and con, will be in attendanceshould the application receive first and sec-ond reading to make it to a public hearing.
George Massey TunnelPremier Christy Clark announced last
September that consultations would beginto replace the aging crossing, long a sourceof frustration for local commuters. Moreconsultations, including discussions onthe type of crossing and where it would belocated, will take place this year, although areplacement is still a decade away.

January 2, 2013 The Delta Optimist A3
It looks like Ladnermay once again finish topsin Canada in the annualChristmas Bird Count.
Co-ordinator Jude Grasstold the Optimist the pre-liminary number for thisyear’s Ladner count is 144species, with another coupleof species requiring verifi-cation.
Last year, the Ladnercount tied for top spot inCanada with Victoria, bothrecording 140 species. Thisyear’s Victoria count standsat 139 species.
“The weather was notbad on count day. I thinkmost teams were verypleased with what they got,”said Grass.
Birders from Ladner,Tsawwassen, and southRichmond took part in thisyear’s count, which tookplace on Sunday, Dec. 23.
It was part of a largertally involving many com-munities over a two-weekperiod by Bird StudiesCanada, a non-profit con-servation organization. Thecounts are tabulated in a
large-scale western hemi-sphere count organized bythe Audubon Society.
The wide array of birdsspotted in the Ladner count,which also encompassedTsawwassen, Point Robertsand part of Richmond,included many types ofwaterfowl, such as geese,swans and ducks, as well asraptors, including eagles.
Several types of owlswere spotted, includingbarn owls, great hornedowls, barred owls, long andshort-eared owls, and north-ern saw-whets. Noticeablyabsent was the westernscreech owl, whose num-bers appear to be in decline.
Meanwhile, record num-bers of hummingbirds,including the winteringAnna’s hummingbird, werespotted, while many wood-peckers were also seen.
One birder specializes inlooking for species in theVancouver Landfill. Thoseresults, which will likelyinclude a large number ofbald eagles and gulls, arealso expected shortly.
Among the rare birdsspotted and confirmedinclude a Bohemian wax-
wing and ruddy turnstone,but some others still needverification. Of course,snowy owls already madenews after making anotherrare appearance in SouthDelta.
“We have a number ofspecies on our species listthat are in italics on our list.That means that the peoplewho saw them know thatthey have to submit a reportbecause they are not com-monly seen. Most of ourbirders know what they’relooking for, but it’s some-times difficult to know forsure,” Grass said.
The Christmas BirdCount began in 1900 whenDr. Frank Chapman sug-gested an alternative tothe holiday “side hunt,” inwhich teams competed tosee which could shoot themost small game, includingbirds. Chapman proposedpeople count birds instead.
There are now well over2,000 counts, with morethan 400 in Canada.
Ladner Bird Count likely tops againLocal birders identify 144 species (and counting), a total that could help area retain No. 1 spot in Canada

Another Delta councillorconsidering provincial run
The next provincial elec-tion could become a lotmore interesting with thepossibility of another high-profile name running inDelta South.
Longtime Delta councilmember Bruce McDonaldhas been rumored to beinterested in seeking theLiberal nomination in theriding.
McDonald would onlytell the Optimist he’s cur-rently “considering hisoptions” but will havesomething more definitiveto say early in the new year.
McDonald is a residentof North Delta but has beenlooking for a new place tolive in Ladner.
The Liberals will holda nomination meeting inDelta South on Jan. 22.
So far, only one person,Tsawwassen resident BruceFougner, has confirmed heis seeking the nomination.
Delta Chamber ofCommerce president KellyGuichon over a year agostated her interest in alsoseeking the Liberal nomina-tion. More recently, howev-er, she noted it’s something
she’ll now have to thinkabout, so it’s not certain ifthe former school boardchair’s name will be on theJan. 22 ballot.
The Delta South Liberalshave been busy preparingfor the next election, hold-ing a policy workshop afew months ago as part ofthe provincial constituencyassociation’s effort to builda vision for South Delta.
The association stated it’sfocused on developing, andthen bringing forward, itselection platform, as wellas nominating a candidateto represent the Liberals innext election.
Some of the policy ideassaid to be in developmentinclude improving mobil-ity for Delta commuters,adequate dredging of Deltawaterways, and more inno-vation and investment ineducation and health care.
Should McDonald seekand win the nomination, itwould give current MLAVicki Huntington a high-profile challenger.
The first-term indepen-dent MLA narrowly defeat-ed another high-profileLiberal candidate in WallyOppal in the last provincialelection, but it remains to
be seen if her support willbe further strengthened withthe Liberals now strugglingin the polls.
Huntington has stated shewill likely remain an inde-pendent in the next race.
The provincialConservatives stated theylikely wouldn’t run a can-didate in Delta South outof respect for Huntington.The Greens also said theywouldn’t run a candidate.
The New Democrats havealready named Nic Slater,who was the NDP candidatefor Delta-Richmond East inthe last federal election, astheir candidate in the riding.
Meanwhile, an inter-esting race appears to beshaping up in Delta North,where New Democrat MLAGuy Gentner announced hewouldn’t be running again.
First-term Delta coun-cillor Sylvia Bishop wasrecently acclaimed theNDP’s candidate for thatriding. Another councillor,Scott Hamilton, recentlysaid he was approached bythe provincial Liberals andis considering also runningin Delta North.
The next provincial elec-tion is scheduled for May14, 2013.

Jeff Day was recentlynamed Delta’s communityplanning director, taking overfrom Tom Leathem who leftfor Europe. Day, a NorthDelta resident, has years ofexperience in senior positionswith the City of Richmond,where he was most recentlyproject development man-ager. He previously held keymanagerial positions with theCity of Surrey.
He takes over as themunicipality is grapplingwith how to meet the needsof a changing demographic,while at the same timeaddressing neighbourhoodconcerns. Some of the itemson his plate include the NorthDelta Area Plan as well asthe Southlands.
Day says Delta is clearlya diverse municipality withthree district communities, sohis task is to come up with decisions thatmake sense for all of them. He says he seesmuch potential in the future of Delta.
Q: What sticks out as the single big-gest issue in Delta’s communities?
The obvious one for Tsawwassen is theSouthlands. North Delta, I think, it’s rejuve-nation of the older subdivisions and gettingthem in good shape, while atthe same time making sureall the services are there.For me, for Ladner it’s morereally preserving the heritageat the same time, but alsoa little bit of rejuvenation.I think it’s a different typeof rejuvenation in Ladnerwith a little bit more on theemphasis of the heritage ofLadner.
Q: Would you describeSouth Delta more activist with more resi-dents engaged in how their neighbour-hoods are changing?
In a good way, I think. But it’s not justSouth Delta, it’s right across the board. Idefinitely sense a real ownership and con-cern by the owners to do what they feel isright. You know, the mayor and council hereand CAO do a good job of embracing thatand taking it into account. That’s one of thethings I’ve noticed in the first four weeksI’ve been here, a desire of listening to theresidents and trying to incorporate them
into the decisions.Q: Delta has adopted a pay-as-you-
go policy as far as spending in order tolower the municipal debt. Does this posesome challenges as far as planning?
There are times when borrowing makessense, but I think, for the most part, mostcouncils these days think it should be pay-as-you go, unless you want to saddle the
future generations.Q: Do you see a lot of
reluctance in Delta for aneed to change to meetthe needs of an olderdemographic and fore-casted regional populationgrowth?
I haven’t seen it here yetmore than other places, sofar. Change is a challengeanywhere. You’re gettingredevelopment of existing
houses and two-lot splits, then (in NorthDelta) 37-storey high-rises. So it’s a widevariety of stuff that’s happening in Delta,which is a good thing.
Q: Are there any similarities you’venoticed between Richmond and Delta
I think so. It’s hard to put your finger onit. Get back to me in a year and I’ll have abetter answer for you. It (Richmond) haschanged a lot in the last few years when theCanada Line went in. So a change in the(George Massey) tunnel could make hugedifferences here.

A Ladner woman andher young daughter havea tattoo to thank for beingreunited with their lost cat.
In September, Jodyallowed her cat, which sheacquired as a kitten abouta year earlier, to go unsu-pervised outside their homenear 57th Street for the firsttime. It turned out to be amistake because the littlefeline named Taseko wan-dered away.
It was a tough time forJody (who did not wanther last name used) andher two-year-old daughterKayla, made all the worsewith thoughts the cat, whichhad been rescued from anabusive situation, met agrim fate.
“She was a good littlekitty, a tiny little thing. Wewaited a little while for herto get spayed because shewas inside. Then two weekslater, she was allowed to goout and she was allowed togo play in the garden withus. The first time unsu-pervised, she never cameback,” Jody said.
Despite a search of theneighbourhood and posters,there was no sign of Taseko.
Fortunately, Jody had alocal veterinarian put anidentification tattoo insideone of the cat’s ears after itwas spayed, which turnedout to be a wise move.
The cat somehow madeits way to the NeilsonGrove area and was livingoutside. A concerned resi-dent began feeding the cat,eventually trapping it in agarage for animal controlstaff.
“On Boxing Day I got acall from the animal shel-ter saying they found her,three-and-a-half monthslater,” Jody said.
“I was amazed gettingthat phone call. I lovemy animals and got themspayed and tattooed, sothank god I got her tattooed
because now she’s home.People just don’t spay orneuter their cats or havethem tattooed,” she said.
This isn’t the first timeJody was reunited with apet thanks to a tattoo.
A couple of years earlier,her dog Chilko had runoff and was nowhere to befound, only to somehowturn up in Richmond. AnID tattoo led SPCA staffthere to Jody.
Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter managerSarah Lowe said the catwould probably have never
been reunited with itsowner without the ID.
She said only 15 per centof cats brought to the Deltashelter as strays this yearwere claimed by their own-ers, whereas 98 per cent ofdogs were claimed.
“It’s all because of iden-tification, a permanentmicrochip or tattoo identifi-cation,” Lowe explained.
“It also has to be read-able and the informationup to date with the vet whokeeps that information,because often we get tat-toos we can read but wecan’t trace them because theowners moved and haven’tupdated their phone num-bers. This is just a reallygood reminder for peoplewho have cats.”
Delta does not have acat registration bylaw, butencourages owners to havetheir pets receive a meansof identification.
The Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter is launch-ing a campaign in the newyear encouraging people toadopt a cat. The adoptionfees will be cut in half dur-ing the promotion.
All dogs, cats and rabbitsare spayed or neutered andprovided with permanentidentification prior to goingto their new home.

MURPHY’SLAW
It’s a community I no longer recog-nize. It’s a refrain, I’m told, that wasuttered repeatedly following a two-decade, post-tunnel building boom thatsaw Delta’s population increase tenfold,from somewhere in the neighbourhood of8,000 to upwards of 80,000.
Several factors, including introductionof the Agricultural Land Reserve and achanging political tide, eventually slowedthe pace of development considerably,meaning the place many came to callhome has remained relatively unchangedfor decades. Oh sure, there have beenresidential and commercial projects, butthe Delta people came to know years agois still pretty much the same Delta wehold dear today.
How much longer that continues to bethe case is most definitely open for inter-pretation, however.
A population explosion of the magni-tude of the post-tunnel era is not likelygiven current land use restrictions, but Idon’t think it’s hyperbolic to suggest theface of Delta stands to change dramati-cally over the next 20 years.
The notion of sleepy bedroom com-munities framed by pastoral farm fieldswill be very much challenged by a hostof mega projects, including, ironicallyenough, a replacement for the GeorgeMassey Tunnel.
A half-century after the tunnel usheredin unprecedented growth, we have justbegun the process of designing anothercrossing of the Fraser River. Consideredto still be a decade away, there’s a goodlikelihood a new bridge would createsignificant development opportunities onboth sides of the river, but it has to get inline in terms of character-altering under-takings.
The South Fraser Perimeter Road,scheduled to open late this year, is thefirst one off the mark, the new highwayopening up a host of new possibilities.Couple that with the Tsawwassen FirstNation’s ambitious development plans,which include almost two million squarefeet of commercial space in a pair ofmega malls as well as major residentialand industrial projects.
Throw in Terminal 2, another three-berth container port at Roberts Bank, andall the ancillary rail, road and industrialpark improvements that come with it, andit almost makes the decision regardingthe Southlands seem inconsequential.
OK, so perhaps that’s going too far,but the look and feel of this municipalityis poised to change. The tight-knit com-munity cores will remain, but the farmfields surrounding them are giving wayto what’s termed progress.
We’re moving ahead, but in a way it’slike we’re stepping back 50 years.

You have probably heard aboutthe little contentious issue that hasbeen rattling around Tsawwassenfor the last 25 years or so. What isnow generally referred to as “theSouthlands” was known back in1989 as the Spetifore farm. Afteryears of farming the property, theowners wanted to develop the prop-erty as much of Tsawwassen hadbeen done over the preceding fewdecades.
What was known as TDL calledfor a large-scale development onthe farm and a couple of adjoiningproperties. The proposal receiveda gigantic raspberry from theresidents of Tsawwassen and wentnowhere.
After a marathon public hear-ing, the proposal was rejected bythe council of the day. Subsequentto the development proposalbeing shot down, local develop-
ers, Century Group, acquired theSpetifore property. Years later in2006, Century presented a newvision for the property, which hasbeen bumping along the road toapproval ever since.
There is still some opposition toany development on the property,although it does not seem as strongas the opposition to the TDL pro-posal 23 years ago. The oppositionseems to centre around two issues.
The first is we need the propertyleft as agriculture (but no green-houses!) so we will be able to feedourselves and/or the wildlife in thefuture. The second issue is traffic.More people means more trafficand longer line-ups at the tunnelfor those who have to commutenorth of the Fraser River.
Similarly, there seem to be tworeasons for support of the project.One, of course, is money. Centurywill presumably do well financiallyfrom any development, local storesand service providers will have alarger customer base, and there willbe substantial employment createdduring the building phase.
The second reason for sup-port of any development is theincrease in availability of housing.Housing throughout the LowerMainland is a problem with an
absence of affordable accommo-dation. Increasing inventory inTsawwassen would help familiesjust starting out and those residentslooking to downsize.
Those are the issues council hasto deal with. It is worth remember-ing council is elected to do what isbest for all of Delta. Citizens livingin North Delta might have a totallydifferent take on squabbles inTsawwassen. The acquisition of 80per cent of the site by the munici-pality could be their major issue.
As the issues unfold and debatecontinues to rage, it seems to methe current opposition might be los-ing its grip. A spokesperson for thegroup said the proposal shouldn’tgo to the next stage because therewere more letters opposed to theproject than in favour. Hopefully,council is proceeding on the meritsof the proposal, not a letter writingcampaign.
The opponents better hopecouncil is deciding on merit of theproposal as well. The opposition isreported to have accused councilof “unethical conduct and actions”— not a good way to win friendsand influence people! It’s kind oflike going to traffic court and tell-ing the judge he is a moron beforeproceedings begin.
Development of Southlands ismore than Tsawwassen issue

Letters to the Editor
Letters written to mayorand council public recordEditor:
Re: Southlands opponentstoops low in effort to bol-ster case against plan, let-ter to the editor, Dec. 21
I’d like to remind let-ter writer Jane Emson andall readers that when onewrites to Delta’s mayor andcouncil, his or her submis-sion (which must contain anaddress of the letter writer)becomes part of the publicrecord.
Without an address (or atleast I have been told thison more than one occasion),the letter is not consideredand is not part of any publichearing or public process.
Since anyone with a
computer is able to accesscorrespondence that is sub-mitted to each and everycouncil meeting, one’s per-sonal details are there forall to see.
If one does not wish tohave his or her e-mail madepublic, then a letter couldbe mailed or dropped off,I suggest, but one’s homeaddress would still berequired.
It’s unfortunate thatEmson experienced anunpleasant incident in thisregard.
I, too, had an unpleasantexperience regarding cor-respondence I had submit-ted over the years to Delta
council.I was told by the munici-
pal clerk that I was notdeemed fit to work at arecent municipal electionbecause I had written “toomany” letters.
I was told that in future,if I didn’t wish my name toappear on record, I shouldwrite letters to each councilmember individually andnot address letters to mayorand council.
Fortunately I was ableto resolve the matter withadministrative staff at Deltabut it sure was a lesson onwhat transpires behind thescenes at municipal hall.

Opponents to Southlandsproposal not in the majorityEditor:
Re: Chamber endorse-ment not as strong asadvertised, letter to theeditor, Dec. 28, andMajority still not convincedthat housing is good forSouthlands, letter to theeditor, Dec. 21
I would like to pointout that both of these let-ters sent to you are fromthe opponents of theSouthlands proposal and arecontradictory in nature butactually support what I’vebeen trying to communicateto our council and citizensof South Delta for years.
The opponents of the
Southlands proposal aresimply the “self-proclaimedmajority.” All of the surveysto date, including the IpsosReid home mailer poll ofa couple years ago and thechamber poll mentioned inthe above letter, have hadone certainty in common:approximately 30 per centresponse leaving 70 percent not responding.
I believe there should bea third category created tosupport the 70 per cent thatjust don’t take the time tofill out the form and callthis category, “I just don’tcare.”
This category can
certainly not be associ-ated with the opponentsbecause, let’s face it, if youare against the proposal,you’re filling out the form.However, if you are for theproposal, you practicallyhave to be recruited fromthe I-just-don’t-care catego-ry because both categoriesare technically two of thesame.
So let’s not distort thefacts, folks, the opponentsof the Southlands proposalare not the majority.

Rarely have I been one tomake resolutions.
I applaud people who do— especially when they fol-low through — but resolu-tions have never really beenmy thing.
Sure, there was thatone year when I resolvedto learn to ski. I did getaround to driving toWhistler, and even ridingthe chairlift. Problem was,it was July.
Another year, I resolved— on or about New Year’sDay — to learn to play thebanjo. I do not know wherethis resolution came from,but I suspect it had some-thing to do with the loveaffair I was having with theDixie Chicks at the time.
I did manage to makemy way to a mall that hada music store, and I evenwalked by it. I did not hap-pen to go in.
In spite of my less-than-satisfactory experience
with past resolutions, Ihave resolved that in 2013,I’ll have another go. Thisyear, however, there will bea twist. I will not resolveto DO anything, but I willresolve NOT to do manythings.
You know, like skiing orbanjo plucking.
This year, I resolve NOTto over-indulge in choco-late, pastriesor Frenchfries. I alsoresolve NOTto take a mas-ters of electri-cal engineer-ing or a PhDin economics.The latter,I’m thinking,should beeasy, given that I don’t havepre-requisites for either.
This year, I resolve NOTto watch more than 150hours of television a weekand NOT to abstain fromexercise.
I also resolve NOT totake up skydiving or basejumping. This has nothingto do with the fear factor,of course, and everything towith the fact that my earsbecome plugged at higher
altitudes.This year, I will try
NOT to become exasper-ated when confronted withissues beyond my control. Iwill also NOT dye my hairblonde and take to wearingmini skirts and stilettos.High heels also bother myears.
This year, I resolve NOTto allow my credit card debt
to get awayon me. Ialso resolveNOT tobuy a 16-bedroomhome withan outdoorkitchen,eight-cargarage,media
room, greenhouse andsaltwater lap pool on thewaterfront in Maui. Toomuch upkeep, as far as I’mconcerned.
This year, I will NOTtake up mixed martial arts,extreme snowboarding orcompetitive cycling.
This year, I will alsoNOT learn how to ski.Doesn’t mean I won’t go toWhistler, though. I kind oflike it in July.
The TsawwassenBoundary Bay LionsClub is sponsoring 10sessions of field trips atDelta Gymnastics to offer15 youth from the WorkOptions program at DeltaSecondary the opportunityto participate in physicaland recreational activities.
“Three years ago, theWork Options program wascreated with the primaryfocus of assisting studentsto successfully enterthe world of work afterhigh school,” said KarenGadowsky, teacher andcourse developer.
“Over the past two years,the staff has incorporatedactivities with a physicalfocus, including gymnas-tics. We strongly believethat the academic, mentalhealth and work-relatedsuccesses our students haveenjoyed in the program isin large due to the focus weplace on physical and recre-ational activity.”
Due to limited fund-ing, the Lions Club wasapproached to ask for itssupport.
“We are very aware thatthe rising costs for familiesand the reduction in educa-
tion budgets have limitedthe ability for groups likeWork Options to continueoffering physical educationprogramming to the youth,”explained Brad Gaze,member of the local club.“Our club is happy to sup-port them in their pursuitof health and overall wellbeing.”
The group participatedin the first of 10 field tripslast month. Those presentwere able to personallythank Gaze and the mem-bers of the TsawwassenBoundary Bay Lions Clubfor their contribution.

Delta SportsPacers getting taste of American hoopsAfter successful stretch to close out December, varsity boys basketball heads south for 4 game swing starting tonight
Diets are always popular tobegin a new year and the DeltaPacers will be adjusting theirappetite for the next week aswell.
After some encouragingperformances to close outDecember, the varsity boys teambegins 2013 by getting a taste ofAmerican high school basketball,starting today in Bellinghamagainst the Sehome Seahawks.The Ladner school then headsfurther south to Renton onSaturday to take on Liberty Highbefore a two game swing inSkagit County next week againstDarrington and Concrete.
Then, finally, 19 games intotheir schedule, the Pacers willopen Fraser Valley South Westplay on Jan. 10 against EarlMarriott, beginning a stretch offive league games in eight days.
No one will accuse them ofnot being ready.
Delta has probably doneenough to earn honourable men-tion status the next time theprovincial “AAA” rankings arereleased thanks mostly to animpressive second place finishat the Rod Thompson MemorialTournament in Burnaby. ThePacers continued their solid playwith a win over St. Thomas Moreon Friday in what was more likea controlled scrimmage. Nowthey will be exposed to wholenew environment for what shouldmake them even more battletested for the critical games inthe weeks ahead.
“We want to expose our guysto a higher level of toughnessand competitiveness to see if wecan match that. They are going tosee how hard guys their age arecapable of playing,” said Pacerscoach Matt McKay. “We will betrying to match up with teams wenormally don’t see and that willbe the same thing in the playoffs.
“It’s going to be a challengementally as well as physically.We are also going to have towork together and no doubt dealwith some adversity.”
The challenging and some-times hectic schedule McKay hasput together paid off in Burnabywhere the Pacers showed whatthey are capable off.
They opened with a 70-56upset win over tournament co-host and 13th ranked BurnabySouth, then followed up thatperformance with a 63-53 victoryagainst No. 15 Claremont.
“Lot of it was just the effort,”said McKay. “ I think we havestarted to understand that we aregood enough to play and beatanybody when we play hard. Wehave to be the hardest workingteam on the floor for us to besuccessful.
“In both games we made itmore about execution and try-ing to outwork teams. AgainstClaremont, we were down byseven at the half and for mostof the third quarter too but justkept making runs at them. I don’tthink they are used to teams kindof hanging around like that wherewe were more prepared to play inthat kind of half court every pos-session matters type of game.”
If the Pacers needed a remind-er of how much work still needsto be done then No. 2 rankedYale was happy to provide it. TheAbbotsford powerhouse racedout to a huge halftime lead andcruised to a 103-62 victory in thefinal.
“We talk about needing theeffort and controlling the tempoand we didn’t do either in thatgame,” said McKay. “Theyplayed harder than us and got toplay their pace too. Scoring 62points should be enough to be ina game and have a chance to win.We’re not beating anybody givingup 102.”
The lone bright spot was a31-point performance from RyanCowley, while guards AndrewJones and Bowen Bakken werenamed to the tournament all-starteam. All three players are justin Grade 11. Bakken, a transferfrom Steveston-London, is reallysolidifying himself as a mainscoring option. He had 23 pointsagainst Burnaby South, thanks togoing five-for-seven from three
point range. He added 20 in thewin over Claremont, hitting onseven of 14 shots.
“He is shooting a ridiculously
high percentage right now,”added McKay. “He is taking littleto no bad shots and a lot of themare usually later in the shot clock
too. He is doing a good job ofmoving the ball, getting it getback to him and finishing theplays.”
