›INBRIEFFisherman presumed drowned on Fraser

A 33-year-old North Delta man is missing and pre-sumed drowned after slipping into the Fraser River while fishing Tuesday evening (Aug. 24).

The incident occurred at around 5:45 p.m. at the Old Orchard Road access point near Chilliwack Mountain.

Police say the man was fishing with a friend when he slipped from the rocks into the fast moving water. His friend jumped into the water in an attempt to save him, but had to be pulled from the water by a nearby boater.

RCMP helicopter Air 1, Chilliwack Search and Rescue, police and numerous fisherman searched for the body for several hours but were unable to locate the male. The search was called off at dusk and recommenced Wednesday.

Since the sockeye season opened on the Fraser, there have been several near drownings.

Police said this latest incident is tragic reminder to be safe when on, or near, the water. Life jackets should be worn at all times when on a boat or standing on the river's edge near deep or swift water.

The Chilliwack RCMP thanked the people who assist-ed in pulling one of the males from the water, and for their ongoing search efforts for the missing Delta man.

Half of Hydro homes soldThe provincial government has sold about half of the

homes it bought out last summer in response to outrage over an upgrade of the overhead power lines that run across a BC Hydro right-of-way in Tsawwassen.

Susan Danard, manager of media relations with BC Hydro, said as of Aug. 13, 42 homes of the 104 acquired had sold and another six were under sales contracts to be completed.

Since the grand opening of "Tsawwassen Heights" Sept. 12 of last year the homes, mainly on 53A Street, have been put up for sale in groups of about 20 at a time to prevent swamping the local real estate market.

The B.C. Ministry of Energy offered to purchase the homes in response to homeowners who protested the upgrade, concerned the exposure to electromagnetic fields from the new lines would contribute to health issues such as cancer. Many residents had hoped the government would take a precautionary approach and bury the lines.

Area plan committee dividedFuture use of Southlands to go before Delta Council next Monday

LAND INDECISION—Members of the Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee were divided on the future use of the 200 hectare Southlands property where owners Century Group had proposed developing housing plus recreation and agricultural facilities. Philip Raphael photo

PHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

T he future of the Southlands prop-erty now rests in the hands of Delta Council after the Tsawwassen Area

Plan committee passed its recommenda-tions Thursday night (Aug.19).

The committee approved a number of recommendations covering higher density radiating out from the Tsawwassen town core area, but could not come to a con-sensus on the controversial 200-hectare parcel of farmland that owners Century Group would like to develop with a blend of residential, commercial, recreational and agricultural uses.

Committee chairperson Coun. Bruce McDonald said it was not much of a sur-prise the group was divided on the issue of making a recommendation on the pro-posal from Century Group to construct 1,900 homes on one third of the site, with the remainder left for community ameni-ties and farming.

The property, currently zoned agricul-ture by Delta and not part of the Agricul-tural Land Reserve, was the subject of one

of the longest public hearings in Canadian history 20 years ago when other develop-ment plans were put forward.

McDonald said a survey conducted by the Corporation of Delta showed the community was also divided on the issue—with roughly 60 per cent opposed to development.

The matter is now expected to go before Delta Council on Aug. 30.

Sean Hodgins, president of Century Group said following the meeting in a nearly full council chamber, said he was unsure what he will do with the land now it has not received a clear recommendation from the area plan committee.

"I haven't really thought it through," said Hodgins, quickly adding he was not going to give up on the proposal to develop Southlands.

"I think there's a lot this land has to offer and I wish the door had been kept open more to examine the possibilities," he said. "Obviously, it really wasn't in the OCP (Official Community Plan)."

Hodgins said he would have liked a clearer response from the area plan com-mittee.

"I was hoping they'd had a more defini-

tive examination of options for the prop-erty than just closing the door."

Dana Maslovat, a member of the com-munity-based group Southlands: The Facts, said he was pleased with the outcome.

"I think overall it's positive," Maslovat said. "What we were hoping to achieve was maintaining the agricultural designation of Southlands. And I think that's the com-mittee's report going forward. I am a little disappointed in the committee's docu-ment that it was not a consensus, that's the reality of it. Really, only one person on the committee was opposed to it so I think it's representative of what the majority of what the public wants."

As for what happens when the issue comes before Delta Council, Maslovat said his group will be keeping an eye on the matter.

"I would be shocked if council didn't move forward with a new Tsawwassen Area Plan that maintains the agricultural designation. Anything could happen," he said, adding, "It's the logical solution. It's what's right. And hopefully council will do what's right."■ [email protected]

D espite the sear-i n g s u m m e r heat and open

sores covering a good portion of her emaci-ated body, "Lacy" stag-gered towards a group of firemen conducting a practice session along the west Ladner water-front two weeks ago.

The 13-year-old Ger-man shepherd, who is thought to have been abandoned by her own-ers, was in a very poor state but put her trust in the firefighters.

"I know dogs well, and judging from her body

language as she came up to us, she wanted us to help," says Capt. Dave Plenert who was direct-ing the training exercise of drawing water to a fire truck from a nearby slough.

"If she hadn't wan-dered up to them (fire-fighters), she'd prob-ably be dead by now," says shelter manager Sarah Lowe, adding the situation was one of the most shocking cases of neglect she has seen in her time.

The sores on Lacy's back were so badly infected they became infested with maggots.

Vet Jane Milner at the

Tsawwassen Animal Hospital said about 4,000 maggots were removed from Lacy's wounds and she was treated to reduce her temperature which had risen to dan-gerous levels.

She is expected to make a good recovery and is going to be put up for adoption. For more information on Lacy, and other ani-mals at the Delta Com-munity Animal Shelter

Canadian Forces recognize Tilbury moving company

B L A C K P R E S S

A Tilbury-based moving compa-ny was recognized by the Canadian Department of National Defence last week for its support during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancou-ver.

AMJ Campbell Van Lines received a Certificate of Appreciation on Aug. 16 for assisting Canadian Forces mem-bers who were part of the Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit which was responsible for security during the Olympics.

The Delta company transported 17 truck loads of military equipment from the Abbotsford International Air-port to various locations throughout the Sea to Sky corridor, senior vice-president Thomas Finlay said in a media release.

"AMJ Campbell trucks made their way through some pretty inclement weather during this process, especial-ly in the Callaghan Valley of Whistler," said Finlay, who along with Brad Kon-smo and Ashley Hori of AMJ Campbell provided the logistic support for the endeavour.

It’s fairly common for Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary (CCGA) Unit 08 volunteers to have to roll out of their warm beds, get dressed and race out to sea in the middle of the night, in miserable conditions, and to search for lost or missing boats and people. When their pagers go off, they have less than 30 minutes to launch the fast response boat The Spirit of Delta IV.

The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary, Unit 8, Delta, BC is supported by the Delta Marine Rescue Society, a registered non-profit charitable society formed to raise funding for marine search and rescue operations (SAR) in local waters, and the delivery of boating safety programs specifically around Delta and its neighbouring communities.

letter OF THE WEEK

Canada, a land of trusting fools?

Yet another boatload of Tamils has landed on the shores of the “Promised Land” and it’s déjà vu all over again.

Sadly, the forces of all-party electoral ethno-politics have dogged all efforts to reform a system that, courtesy of the “Golden Gate” of the Canadian Charter, had turned us into a willing door-mat for all those bent on taking advantage of our self-imposed “impotence” to protect the integrity of our borders.

As long as Ottawa’s political mindset stubbornly opposes the notion of real reform of the Western world’s most generous and porous refugee system, by hiding behind the universality of Canada’s sacrosanct Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we will indeed remain “the land of trusting fools,” as put so aptly

by a Russian security official. Unique among such charters

in Western democracies, by extending full civil rights to any and all non-residents having set foot on sovereign national soil, the Canadian Charter has opened a veritable “Pandora’s Box” of refugee and immigration abuse and resulted in a virtual inability to effectively and expeditiously deal with undesirables freely flocking to our shores.

The Supreme Court’s 5:4 “Singh Decision” in 1985, forever changed the 1976 Immigration Act, making the Canadian Charter UNIVERSAL by guaranteeing “every-one ... the right to life, liberty and security of the person ...”, resulting in endless litigation, negating the law and serving as the major stumbling block

to meaningful reform to make sure our refugee system is reserved for those afflicted by genuine persecution in other nations.

A s l o n g a s C a n a d a’s Charter of Rights serves as a shining beacon to all comers, guaranteeing full civil rights to any and all non-residents, people smugglers won’t have to worry about losing clients.

By enabling them to virtually guarantee their clients the protection of the Charter, once delivered to Canadian soil, the Charter’s unrestricted universality remains a veritable boon to a growing industry of people smugglers and continues to serve as a powerful magnet to all comers.

In a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are first- and second-generation immigrants, it’s difficult to comprehend the vitriolic—and inaccurate—comments being said about the Tamil migrants now in our midst.

Eariler this month, 492 people from Sri Lanka arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83 per cent of Canadians were upset that the Tamil migrants jumped the immigration queue; 63 per cent wanted Canada to turn the MV Sun Sea away; and just 35 per cent would allow the Tamil migrants to claim refugee status.

First off, there has been no “queue-jumping.” Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at any point of entry in Canada—including airports, the U.S.-Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case, in Canadian waters—at any time and without advance notice.

Queues are in place for would-be Canadians abroad (ie. skilled workers or investors) who are in safe enough situations to be able to fill out forms and send in applications.

Refugees are fleeing desperate conditions that put the lives of themselves and their families at risk.

As for turning the boat away, do we really want to go there again?

In May 1914, 376 people from India aboard the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver.

After much public outcry and political opposition, the Royal Canadian Navy forced the vessel from the harbour, and following four miserable months at sea, 20 passengers were killed and nine wounded in an altercation when the ship arrived back in Calcutta.

Two years ago this month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper—speaking to a crowd of approximately 8,000 people in Bear Creek Park—apologized for the Komagata Maru incident.

Are the Tamils somehow deserving of different treatment?

Currently incarcerated, their backgrounds will be investigated—including allegations of terrorist links and people-smuggling activity.

Canada is not awash in refugees, accepting less than 20,000 annually. Meanwhile, 20 million people displaced from their homes around the world are taken in by poverty-stricken countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. With all of our wealth, Canada accepts less than 0.01 per cent of global refugees.

A strange hatred arises

EDITORIAL

While listening to candidates for the municipal byelection speak at the open forum tonight (Aug. 24) it became obvious to me everyone is thinking in terms that funding will magically appear to pay for the soil and drainage improvements to the Southlands to make it viable so that it can be farmed in perpetuity.

(Byelection candidate) Ian Paton went as far to say, that landowners should be taxed to the hilt if they are not farming the land.

I think he had in mind those farmers who are accepting truck loads of fill being dumped on their lands. I hope so as I believe

he believes Sean Hodgins' (Southlands property owner) intention for the Southlands is one of vision.

Local residents may think they are “saving the agricultural land” for future generation as it exists now, but are they going to pay for the improvements and how many generations do they think that will take?

Hodgins of Century Holdings has offered to cover all the costs in order to create a sustainable c o m m u n i t y a n d o f f e r a n example to the world of a better way to live.

The status quo will not be accepted by the land owner understandably and it shouldn't.

Why turn down this gift offered to the community with a vision envied by others worldwide?

The agricultural trust would be honoured in perpetuity so

additional development which seems to be feared by some could not take place.

If the land is left as is, I do not believe there will be any concerted effort made to make the land viable.

It w i l l re m a i n ov e r r u n with blackberry bushes and unavailable to the public in its current form.

We need council members who have vision and the courage to stand up to the neighbourhood bullies who want no change at all in their surroundings.

It is time to wake up and look to the future for the b e s t i m p r o v e m e n t s f o r future generations including agricultural opportunities on the Southlands.

No magical future for Southlands

KRISTINE SALZMANNR E P O R T E R

A bout 250 people came to the Delta Town and Country Inn Aug. 24 to hear what their candidates for municipal

council had to say at the first public debate in the lead up to the Sept. 18 byelection.

Eight people are vying for a single seat on Delta council, which become vacant after the unexpected death of longtime Council-lor George Hawksworth in March.

Two of the candidates—Amy Ghuman Sara and Ray Robinson—were unable to attend what is so far the only public debate planned prior to election day.

The audience chuckled when the question everyone knew would come was asked off the bat: what is their opinion on the future use of the controversial Southlands development proposal.

Sylvia Bishop and Kathleen Higgins stated they want the Southlands to be preserved as farmland. Sandeep Pandher, Ian Paton and Maria DeVries said council needs to listen

to the community, with Paton and Pandher recognizing 62 per cent of respondents to a municipal survey said they want to see the land remain agricultural.

Peter Harms spoke in favour of Century Group's working plan.

"Southlands is a world class urban plan with integrated habitat aspects where people, land and wildlife, like cranes, ducks and sea birds, will live intimately together, serving, supporting and enjoying each other . . . I stud-ied the plan that (Century Group president Sean) Hodgins developed and coming from Europe, I really enjoy that plan," he said.

The debate then turned to North Delta and the need to revitalize the Delta side of Scott Road.

Paton said council needs to offer tax incen-tives to encourage development on the busy street that divides Delta and Surrey.

"There are buildings on Scott Road that are fire traps. They've been there since 1965," he said. "Let's get going, let's get some tax incen-tives to developers and make Scott Road a busy, busy and great place to go shopping on the Delta side, not the Surrey side."

Pandher said the problem is not a lack of tax incentives but a longtime position of ignor-ing the problem by past Delta councils.

"We have representatives who have been there since 1972," he said. "This is not a new issue, it's just that it's been ignored for a very long time."

When asked about how they would make North Delta a safer place to live—a number of women have suffered random attacks in recent months—DeVries and Paton said residents need to be encouraged to get to know each other and create neighbourhood watch programs.

Bishop recommended creating a posi-tion for a social planner at municipal hall to help deal with the social needs of a culturally diverse community.

Pandher, who speaks Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, said the ethnic diversity of North Delta creates challenges in understanding cultures and communicating, and that the gap could be bridged with diversity on council.

Tsawwassen resident Peter Harms admit-ted he is unfamiliar with North Delta, and passed on questions that focused on issues

in that community.One of the questions submitted for the

candidates asked what they would do to enhance relationships with the neighbour-ing communities of Richmond, Surrey and the Tsawwassen First Nation.

Higgins said Delta should look to Surrey to learn from the challenges they've faced in managing secondary suites now Delta has legalized them in single family homes.

Noting he cannot stand big box stores, casi-nos and ugly housing developments, Paton said, "I really don't think we can take any-thing good from what Richmond has done and what Surrey has done."

DeVries echoed that sentiment, stating Delta does not want to be Richmond or Surrey.

Paton added during the rebuttal round that, "If TFN thinks they're going to put in a big box shopping mall and wipe out Tsaw-wassen and Ladner business, I'll throw myself in front of the bulldozers."

Pandher and Bishop emphasized the importance of communicating with the Tsawwassen First Nation government.

SPEAKING OUT—Opposite page: About 250 people attended the candidates debate Tuesday evening at the Delta Town and Country Inn, organized by the South Delta Leader and Delta Chamber of Commerce. Chamber director Ian Tait (pictured) kept the candidates on track as moderator. This page, clockwise from top left: your candidates Sylvia Bishop, Maria DeVries, Peter Harms, Kathleen Higgins, Sandeep Pandher, and Ian Paton. Missing: Amy Ghuman Sara and Ray Robinson.

Said Bishop, "They find themselves a nation sur-rounded by another nation and I think it behooves us to work in a positive way with them to our mutual benefit. Anything they do will impact us, anything we do will impact them, and so a solid relationship with them, recognizing we are not always going to agree, is vital and important."

The Corporation of Delta has developed a Climate Change Initiative over the past years, and candidates were asked what initiatives they would like to see Delta take to make it a greener place to live.

Bishop said she supports offering incentives to encourage green building developments, as well as zero waste management goals.

"I know that's very hard but I think it's something we have to work towards."

DeVries said residents need to divert more waste from landfills, and Delta can encourage this by offer-ing accessible drop-off centres for different types of recyclables.

Pandher said the best thing Delta can do is to learn from current leaders in urban sustainability. In July he was part of a delegation that travelled to U.S. com-munities to learn about best practices in climate change policy making. He added Delta needs to fight

to protect its assets such as Burns Bog.Paton, a longtime farmer, said, "Let's keep farming.

There's nothing better than driving down the road and seeing beautiful open fields with irrigation dams going and some good healthy crops growing in Delta."

Higgins said subdividing larger lots in Delta into three smaller lots, a principle focus of her plat-form, would solve a number of the issues facing the municipality, such as decrease our environmental footprint, reduce the pressure to develop farmland, and create more affordable housing.

Much more was up for discussion as the evening went on, from the necessity of Terminal 2 at Delta-port to the provision of athletic facilities at places like John Oliver Park. Look for the two hour debate—hosted by the South Delta Leader, Surrey North Delta Leader, Delta Chamber of Commerce, and spon-sored by Rapidtech Computer Services—televised on Delta TV today (Aug. 27) at 8 p.m., next Monday through Thursday (Aug. 30 to Sept. 2), 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and Friday (Sept. 3) at 10 a.m and 2 p.m.

W hen the doctor told him the news three years ago that he had prostate can-

cer, Richard Doolan reacted the way he always does—pragmatically.

"I thought, it's just one of those things in life you have to deal with," says the 66-year-o l d L a d n e r resident and retired ship-yard worker. "I almost knew what the doc-tor was going to tell me. I kind of suspected it."

Doolan's mother died of cancer in her late 30s, so there was a history of the ailment in his family.

But that wasn't what led Doolan, who moved to Canada from the U.K. in 1974, to almost predict the diagnosis.

"When I went to see the doctor at the cancer clinic and he did the examina-tion after the blood test, I just shrugged my shoulders and said, 'Oh.' That was it," says Doolan who will be a speaker at the Motorcycle Ride For Dad prostate cancer fundraiser that leaves Tsawwas-sen early Saturday (Aug. 28) morning. "I just put it down to the everyday thing. It was something that happens to people and that was the end of it.

"My daughter, Lisa, went with me to the clinic and I thought she was more sur-prised and upset about it than I was."

And so, Doolan went about his

daily routine, adding regular trips to the cancer clinic to receive radiation treatments and hormone injections.

He also continued his work volun-teering his time helping seniors with Deltassist and at the Ladner Commu-nity Police Station like has for the last 14 years.

"I do that (Deltassist) even though I'm a senior myself," he says laughing. "But I just like to help the public. I get plenty of gratification out it."

His treatments finished in January and subsequent testing has shown the cancer has gone away, for now.

"I don't even think about it any-more," Doolan says, but he added that other men should.

"Even my son, he's 31, I am always after him to get checked out," Dool-an says. "But he just doesn't care, although it's just a couple of minutes out of their lives, right, to go and give blood for a test. A week later you get all your results. And you go from there."

But it was Doolan's even tempera-ment which he thinks helped him come to terms with his condition.

"I was more or less resigned to it and took it in stride," he says. "That's how I take everything else. I don't get flus-tered much. But a lot of people take it differently. They could make them-selves sick by worrying about it. And I just never worried."

Ride day registration takes place Aug. 28, 7 to 8:30 a.m. at the South Delta Baptist Church. For more infor-mation about the Motorcycle Ride For Dad, visit motorcycleridefordad.org.

COOL TREAT—Tsawwassen's Kirstin Carley has a great idea to see out the summer heat with a fun and healthy fudgesicle. Carley is also spreading the word on the Canadian Cancer Society's Golf Fore the Cure program, which raises money for the fight against breast cancer, and its event Sept. 11 at Cove Links Golf Course in Ladner.Tyler Garnham photo

DIRECTIONSMix together in a blender and place

Per 1 fudgesicle: 107 calories, 0g fat, 8g carbohydrates, 19g protein.

Serves three.

Eating healthy, and staying healthy.Tsawwassen's Kirstin Carley has

ideas on both subjects.Carley, a consultant with Investors

Group Financial Services Inc., says a great way to enjoy a cool and sweet treat that is actually good for you is this recipe for healthy fudgesicles.

"It's a great snack on a summer day," she says. "Ditch the sugar laden version for this."

The recipe is from Carley's step-sister who is a health and fitness pro-fessional who lost her mom to cancer about five years ago.

And that leads to idea number two: staying healthy.

On Sept. 11 at Cove Links Golf Course in Ladner, Carley will tee off with a group of other golfers to sup-port the Canadian Cancer Society's Golf Fore the Cure program which has

women across the country participat-ing in golf tournaments to raise money for breast cancer research.

"There are approximately 225 tour-naments across Canada, with each tournament having an Investors Group Consultant represented," says Carley. "We are proud to be a Pink Partner of GFTC."

Carley adds cancer has touched other members of her close circle of family and friends.

To help entice players to the event, Carley is offering a grand prize trip for two to the Moana Surf Rider Westin Resort in Waikiki, Hawaii (valued at $8,000) and among the free giveaways will be the first issue of the Financial Divas Magazine, covering finance, real estate, health, wellness and fam-ily issues that she publishes.

Artful passionPHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

T he cost of buying a paint-ing canvas was so expensive, Edgar Edades had to settle for

tracing the artful patterns from his imagination in the sandy beach near his home in the northern part of the Philippines.

That was many years ago when the Tsawwassen resident was a young boy intent on pursuing life as an artist.

It's a dream he has brought to real-ity as he hosts his very first showing at the Tsawwassen Library (1321A 56th Street). The collection of acrylic on

canvas scenes of tropical flowers and Serengeti vistas runs until the end of August and captures Edades' passion for his art that not even his father's suggestions he opt for a more stable and rewarding career could dull.

It wasn't until shortly after he arrived in Canada in 2005 that he resumed his love of creating art.

"You know, when you are an artist if you see a beautiful thing you don't want to miss it. You want to catch it," he says. "I think that's what drives me, because if you don't put some-thing beautiful into writing or art you will regret it as you grow older."■ [email protected]

Tsawwassen graduates from sand to canvas

PROUD DISPLAY—Tsawwassen's Edgar Edades never lost his love for painting even when his father steered him as a youngster to a career in architecture in the Philippines. Now until the end of August, Edades is proudly displaying some of his work in his very first show at the Tsawwassen Library. Tyler Garnham photo

AS LOW AS $282,900 AT AXIS. ONLY 5 LEFT!

A patio should be more than a small ledge for potted

plants. This time of the year, it should be the single best

place in your home. Whether letting the day pass with

a glass of wine or grilling juicy marinated steaks, an

expansive patio is your stage for the perfect summer.

Easily the best seat in the house, you won’t be surprised when

friends and family just happen to be in the neighbourhood.

When you’re not entertaining, you might sink into the

quiet retreat of your recliner while the sun gently massages

your back.

More space means more time spent rather than wasted.

Where instead of finding a spot, you’re taking a seat,

and instead of picking up the cheque, you’re handpicking

tonight’s menu. Here, there are no bad tables, no wait times,

and no such thing as bad company. And when your patio

is accented by a vast courtyard complete with community

gardens, an outdoor barbeque, and a sunning area, the

grass is always greener on your side.

with Pat Moore, chef at the Rose & Crown Pub and Bistro.

"I'm a foodie through and through and it's nice to have a chance to work with a professional chef," says Dodwell, adding she was looking forward to learning some tips from Moore.

For Dodwell's turn inside the busy kitchen at the Rose & Crown prior to the weekday afternoon rush, Moore had her work on a pair of dishes listed on the pub's menu that step outside the regular, time-honoured favourites of burgers and fries.

First up was a maple glazed short

ribs and a red and white salad featuring roasted beats, pears, goat cheese, and pecans on a bed of fennel.

Moore said both dishes are easy

enough to prepare at home even though they may seem complex and demanding on the surface.

"The salad, you could do in a matter of

15 to 20 minutes, putting it all together," Moore said. "Of course, the short ribs would take a little longer. By time they're done, it's four to five hours."

Dodwell, who previously worked in interior design field and has long harboured dreams of working as a chef, says she enjoyed working with Moore and learning a few new skills she plans to take home with her.

"And it was nice to understand his insights on food," she added.

call Tsawwassen's Vicki Dodwell a "foodie" go right ahead.

She has no problem with admitting she loves dialing up the Food Network and watching her favourite celebrity chefs offer her some culinary food for thought while they cook up a storm.

Knowing well her love of cooking, Dodwell's husband and sons wrote to the South Delta Leader nominating her for the MasterChef feature.

"I think they actually

thought it would put a stop to me watching channel 56," she said, laughing.

Dodwell, who works in recreation therapy at Kin Village in Tsawwassen, says she was at one time

very close to going back to culinary school.

"So, it's nice to get a wee taste of that."

That's why she jumped at the opportunity to get a brief, one-on-one session

call Tsawwassen's Vicki Dodwell a "foodie" go right ahead.

She has no problem with admitting she loves dialing up the Food Network and watching her favourite celebrity chefs offer her some culinary food for thought while they cook up a storm.

Knowing well her love of cooking, Dodwell's husband and sons wrote to the South Delta Leader nominating her for the MasterChef feature.

"I think they actually

thought it would put a stop to me watching channel 56," she said, laughing.

Dodwell, who works in recreation therapy at Kin Village in Tsawwassen, says she was at one time

very close to going back to culinary school.

"So, it's nice to get a wee taste of that."

That's why she jumped at the opportunity to get a brief, one-on-one session

KitchenclassicsPreparing more than just pub fare at the Rose & Crown

The South Delta Leader has partnered with local chefs to provide people in the community with the opportunity to learn from the masters. If you know a foodie who would love to experience a working kitchen, or if your loved one's meals leave something to be desired, nominate them for our monthly Master Chef section. Email [email protected] and tell us why your friend or family member deserves to cook with the best in South Delta. For a video clip of Vicki Dodwell's experience, visit southdeltaleader.com.

2 FOR THE ROAD—Mazda's latest entry in the small car wars is the Mazda2 which packages the automaker's reputation for quality into a thrifty ride. Philip Raphael photo

Small package deliversNew Mazda2 offers pint-sized ride with plenty of room inside


'Please let it be the cute little black car with fancy rear spoiler, please."

Those were the thoughts rolling through my mind as I pulled into the Mazda Canada parking lot to pick up one of the new Mazda2 models in its press fleet.

And I got my wish as I was handed the key to the automak-er's latest salvo in the small car wars that is enlisting supporters fueled mainly by high gasoline prices.

I'm fond of small cars and have driven quite a few European mod-els that drivers on this side of the pond can't get their hands on. So, it's nice to see a pint-sized model being offered in North America.

What I love about them is their design when it comes to use of limited space, an area where the Mazda2 didn't disappoint.

Step inside and it's almost

TARDIS-like. Fans of sci-fi show Dr. Who know that means that exterior dimensions of the iconic time machine made to resemble a 1950s-style London police phone booth appears incapable of pro-viding a roomy interior.

But the Mazda2 does just that with plenty of shoulder and elbow room.

Rear seats are enough for grade school kids or adults on short journeys. And five-door hatch-back's trunk can pack away plenty of groceries or luggage for a week-end trip.

With a starting price of a mere $13,995 you know this is meant to be a econony-minded ride. Although with Mazda's contin-ued commitment to installing high quality materials in the cabin, and fine fit and finish on the body—there was no cheap metallic ping sound when clos-ing the doors unlike some other bargain cars—you'd have quite rightly expected a much higher

sticker price.My shiny black, five-speed

manual tester emblazoned with a series of number two decals on the left front fender came loaded with air conditioning, keyless entry, steering wheel mounted controls for the stereo which undoubtedly boosted up the price.

And when you throw in the the crisp handling, efficient, yet a little sluggish 1.5 litre 100 horsepower engine, and plenty of sporty exte-rior looks, I figured it was well worth the extra cost.

The car goes back to the folks at Mazda in a few days and my mood will be as black as the its slick paint job as I reluctantly relinquish the key.

Although, if gasoline costs con-tinue to rival monthly mortgage payments could a Mazda1 be out there in the future for me to test drive?

If only the Mazda2 really was a TARDIS I could find out.■ [email protected]

Speed to burnLadner's Shoma Sasaki turns the base paths into a track meet


H e bats left. Throws left. Has lightning speed around the base paths.

It's not a mystery why Shoma Sasaki's favourite baseball play-er is the Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki.

The dynamo on the diamond for the Major League Baseball club plays a lot like the Ladner outfielder.

"He's my favourite player," says the 15-year-old who, along with his teammates on the Vancouver Mounties AAA Bantam team, is in Vaughn, Ontario this week to represent B.C. at the Canadian National Bantam AAA Champi-onships.

While the two players are sepa-rated by years—Ichiro is 37—and leagues, the most stunning stat dividing them is Sasaki's base stealing record.

Ichiro's best season (2001) saw him steal 56 times.

This year, Sasaki has eclipsed the 130 mark, making him not only a threat when he's on base, but to beat out throws to first base, just like his Mariner's idol has been known to do.

"I'm pretty quick," says the Grade 10 student who attends Vancouver College. "Batting left handed also lets me get out the (batter's) box quicker."

So does Sasaki's build, which is listed on the Mounties' web site as at five-foot-six and a mere 135 pounds, allowing him to clock in the 12-13 second range in the 100 metres for his school's track team.

He also puts his legs to work in the 200 metres and 4x100 metre relay as well as the football and wrestling teams with the Fight-ing Irish.

But it's not strictly off-the-line velocity that makes Sasaki, who plays centre field, pitcher and occasionally first base, such a proficient base stealer.

Mounties head coach Ted Paw-

lick said it's his ability to read the game and pitchers that adds to his ability to beat out throws.

Pawlick said Sasaki studies pitchers closely for tell tale pick off moves and then exploits his natural speed to race the 90 feet to another stolen base.

It's a recipe that helped the Mounties earn the right to repre-sent B.C. at the Bantam champi-onships after laying a 14-3 beat-ing on North Delta—Sasaki's team last year—at the provincial finals.

And as the Mounties lead off hitter—just like Ichiro—Sasaki's potent offensive power will be a feature of the B.C. team's game plan.

As for his personal game plan, Sasaki says everything he is doing now is geared to making it to the "big show."

"I have been playing baseball since I was four-years-old," he says. "And the major leagues is where I want to be."■ [email protected]

GRAND LARCENY—Shoma Sasaki like to emulate his baseball idol Ichrio Suzuki with his ability to steal bases. This season, the 15-year-old swiped more than 130 and hopes to add more this week with Team B.C. at the Canadian National Bantam AAA Championships in Vaughn, Ontario. Jim

BERRY, Helen Norma (Hartwig)February 19, 1925 - August 18, 2010

Celebration of Life September 5, 2010McKee Seniors Recreation Centre

1:30 - 3:30 PMRefreshments to follow

It is with sadness but also a sense of relief that we announce the passing of a very special woman, Helen Berry. She was predeceased by her husband of 62 years on June 30, 2010. It was apparent that in her own way, from her extended care bed, she was making sure everything was going “properly”.

Although, in the last year, very little words were spoken by Helen, she was always able to muster a huge smile for anyone who visited or said hello.

Helen is survived by her sisters, Donna Greenwood (Barry), Valerie Ballantyne, and Doreen Marcoux. Also surviving, her son Kenneth (Julia), grandchildren Kate deWynter (Brett) and Geoff (Pamela) and her pride and joy of eight “little ones”: Carysa, Harmony, Anna, Jacob, Eric, Nathan, David and Tahya. She also leaves behind many, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who were very important to her over the years.

Helen was born in Goodeve, Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver and later to Coquitlam where she lived with her 10 brothers and sisters. In 1937, Helen was crowned Miss Canada during the May Day Celebration, something she was very, very proud of. Helen was courted by a young Head Doorman (Doug) while she was the Head Usherette at the Odeon Theatre (not the Pantages). They obviously hit it off as they celebrated their 62nd Anniversary on June 17, 2010. It was their last celebration together.

In the early 1940’s, Helen was a seamstress at Spencers and later was a seamstress at Woodwards (downtown) for 20 years. In the early 1950’s, Helen was also a Hat Check girl at the Commodore on weekends. Ken can remember Dad coming home from work and having a special family meal on Fridays and saying goodbye to Mom as she went out to work “at the club” and Dad would wait up until the “wee hours” until she came home.

Poor health dictated no more work for Helen from 1967 onward and she was content to “stay busy” at home, gardening and concocting excellent food experiments for family and friends, and learning to make ornate lampshades. She became a legend for her ability to grow geraniums from the shoots and taught any interested neighbour “the secret” to success. She had a love for Japanese Maples, clematis, and Lady Beal heather. Helen also took courses in cake decorating and fl ower arranging and soon was making presentations that would stop traffi c with their intricacies, colour and detail.

Helen discovered delicious home made pizza long before the fast food craze ever took hold. Her “pies” could feed a dozen people at one sitting. Helen would busy herself with helping friends and family with clothing alterations and doing unbelievably delicate needlework and petit point, which still adorn the family home. She also made gallons and gallons of Blackberry jelly. Boy, could she cheat at canasta!

Helen, much to the chagrin of her husband Doug, was a great shopper for clothes, material, doilies and goodies for “the little ones”. Whenever someone visited she would always try to slip a $5, $10 or $20 bill to that person depending upon age, to “go buy something nice”. The Berry household, in Richmond, was the holding pond for many relatives fl ying in and out of BC. Many, many nieces and nephews boarded, visited or holidayed at the Berry home or Boundary Bay cabins.

Helen loved to direct traffi c (Doug and relatives) from the kitchen table or the bed if she was feeling poorly. She loved visiting the Cariboo at her brother Ed’s place and later at Anahim Lake, Likely and Williams Lake with her son and his family. Despite her medical problems, Doug and Helen were able to make many trips to Maui and Alaska but their truly favourite place was Boundary Bay. They rented or owned cabins there for just about all of their 62 years together, a tradition that the Berry family continues to this day.

The Berry family would like to, yet again, extend their thanks and appreciation to the staff at the Waterford Care Home, and more recently, Mountain View Manor. Our Mom (and Dad) were treated as valued members of both families and we know that both will be missed. We are very grateful for the fi ne care, over the years, given to them by Dr. Henderson and more recently Dr. Rogerson, who says she has never seen a person with a stronger heart than Helen.

Although our family has been shaken by the events of the past fi fty days, we have come to the understanding that everything unfolded as it should. We truly believe that Mom, in her own way, was making sure Dad was “behaving himself”, and with his sudden and unexpected passing, her job here was complete.

Once again, Mom we are so proud of you. You made sure family, friends and strangers were always welcome in your home and let your family know that “busy hands are happy hands”. You too, will be loved and missed by so many.

In lieu of fl owers, donations to the Delta Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated. On-line condolences may be placed at www.deltafuneral.ca

”Today was just fun.“The South Delta Leader felt it was time to put

Sandra Hale into the spotlight with a fab makeover!

A mid-life return to university in pursuit of a masters degree can take a lot of resolve and courage.

It's a move that deserves celebration, particularly as the end nears—perhaps with a day of pampering, great hair, and a fabulous outfit?

Tsawwassen resident and mother of two Sandra Hale is doing her Masters of Rehabilitation Science at the University of B.C.

"For the last two years I've been bumping around in jeans and T-shirts and I need to spiff it up a bit. I'm going to be doing more presentations and teaching (at UBC)," said Sandra.

Stylist Michelle Sullivan picked out a fresh, modern dress with a neutral palette as a starting point during their day shopping at local boutiques, and focused on updating Sandra's look as she prepares for her new university teaching position.

"The neutral colours make it easy to change her look by experimenting with pops of color by accessorising," said Sullivan. "I showed her how she could change the look by adding different belts, scarves or jackets."

This particular jacket, Sullivan said, is a great piece that will keep her warm while teaching in an air conditioned room all day and also polishes and completes the look.

Said Sandra, "What I learned was I need to try things on, even if I don't think it's going to look good, sometimes it surprised me."

Later, Sandra dropped by Muscle Memory's Tsawwassen studio for a fitness consultation and training session.

Owner Rob Gillespie also provided her with an eight pack punch pass to the studio's group sessions.

On reveal day, Sandra started her morning with a manicure, pedicure and make-up at Spa Vilamoura.

She left relaxed and ready for the professionals at Myne2 Hair Spa, where it was time to step out of her comfort zone.

Her neighbour said in her Be Fabulous makeover nomination that Sandra has had the same hair style as long as she's known her.

"I tried something different with my hair, and just felt really pampered at the spa," said Sandra of the experience. "And it was just fun. Highlights in my hair, and I've never had straight hair. And of course the outfit just made me feel fabulous."

How will her family react?"Oh, I think they're going

to love it. I think they'll love it. I think it will be fun to go out tonight," she said.

—Kristine Salzmann
