Two Liberal leadership candi-dates visited Delta South Mondayand both made overtures to inde-pendent MLA Vicki Huntingtonto join the governing party.
George Abbott made a cam-paign stop at the Delta Town& Country Inn in Ladner latein the afternoon, addressing acrowd of local Liberals, includ-ing a few who had dropped byChristy Clark’s campaign stop inTsawwassen an hour earlier.
In the back of the crowd tohear what Abbott had to say wasHuntington, who had also droppedby Clark’s campaign appearance
at Brown’s Social House.During his meet and greet with
attendees, Abbott approached theindependent MLA saying he’d likefor her to seriously consider join-ing his fold if he wins the leader-ship race.
Saying he believes the Liberalscan not only win back DeltaSouth but also take Delta North,Abbott would go on to make anoverture to Huntington during hisaddress to the audience.
He told the Optimist his gov-ernment would reach out andlisten to the people when itcomes to policy decisions, whichHuntington has advocated.
“I think the current MLA isa very good person and I would
hope she would consider joiningour caucus during this term. It’ssomething I’d certainly want totalk to her about and I think she’dmake a great contribution,” hesaid.
When asked about Abbott’sremarks, Huntington’s onlyresponse was to smile and notethe candidate has always seemedlike a reasonable man and a con-sensus builder.
Clark wasn’t as forceful in hercourting of Huntington, saying
that’s something the caucus wouldhave to discuss.
“I can say, personally, Vicki hasdone a good job representing thisriding but it’s tough when you’renot part of a team,” Clark said.
“Part of my pitch to Vicki,we are going to be a democraticgovernment that’s going to allowMLAs to represent their commu-nities in Victoria and sometimesthat means disagreeing ... I thinkyou should be able to make surecommunities are heard within theparty system.”
Clark said she intends tochange the culture in Victoria sothat government listens to com-munities.
Huntington became the first
independent in over 50 years towin a seat in the legislature in2009 when she edged cabinetminister Wally Oppal.

Abbott, a former cabinetminister who has represent-ed the riding of Shuswapsince 1996, said it’s impor-tant to reach out to thegrassroots and win backtheir trust and respect.
“I know people wereangry with us in the 2009election and they wereangry about a few issues. Idon’t think they were angryabout the hospital issue.There were some majorimprovements to DeltaHospital under my tenure as
(health) minister,” he said.“I know the South
(Fraser) Perimeter Road isstill an issue
and I’m certainly com-mitted the province treatsthe residents fairly,” Abbottsaid, adding, “I don’t thinkwe’ll be seeing a lot ofschool closures. I knowthat’s been an issue in thepast year as well but thedemographics of the schoolpopulation is shiftingagain.”
Before he took questions
from the audience, Abbottmade a speech explaininghis platform and desiresfor the Liberal government,noting it has done somegood work when it comesto the economy but has “ahuge job” in rebuildingpublic confidence.
His platform alsoincludes moving up theHST referendum to June2011.
A campaign handlernoted Abbott is to return toSouth Delta on Jan. 17 atthe Coast Tsawwassen Inn.
Clark, the 45-year-oldformer radio talk show host
who is trying to re-enterthe political arena, gave anenthusiastic address, goingover her reasons for enter-ing the race, including apledge to deliver a “familiesfirst” policy of governmentas well as keeping the NDPout of power.
Despite a strong perfor-mance when it comes toeconomic policies, she said,the government needs tofundamentally change.
“One of the things I’mreally passionate about ischanging the way the gov-ernment does business ...I think the premier has to
allow cabinet ministers toreally do their jobs, to bringtheir imaginations and ideasto the table because you’renever as smart with onesmart person as 20 peoplein the room.
“I think we have to letcaucus members do theirjobs and not forget whata caucus member’s job is.A caucus member’s job isnot to go to Victoria, gettheir marching orders fromthe premier and come backto the communities andtell them what the premierwants.”
Clark had former TV
news anchor Pamela Martinalso address the crowd atBrown’s Social House toexplain why she joined herteam.
Clark was first elected in1996 and served as opposi-tion critic in various portfo-lios. After the Liberals wonin 2001, she was appointedminister of education anddeputy premier in GordonCampbell’s government.
The Liberal leadershipvote takes place Feb. 26.Kevin Falcon, Mike deJong, Ed Mayne and MoiraStilwell are also vying to bethe next premier.

Edgar Dunning wasn’tthere in person but he wascertainly there in spirit asa large crowd gathered lastFriday afternoon to cel-ebrate the grand openingof the Delta Archives andEdgar Dunning ReadingRoom.
Located on the groundfloor of the former court-house next to municipal hallin Ladner, the new facilityprovides state-of-the-artstorage of Delta’s historicdocuments and photos. Theclimate-controlled environ-ment will house municipalmaterials as well as thosebelonging to the DeltaMuseum and ArchivesSociety.
The facility was namedin part to honour Dunning,one of the founding mem-bers of the museum societyand its first president. Theformer Delta Optimist edi-tor and publisher, regardedas Delta’s most trustedstoryteller, passed away lastfall so didn’t get the chanceto see the opening of thefacility that bears his name.
Family members aswell as many dignitariesand civic and provincialofficials were on hand forthe grand opening on whatwould have been Dunning’s101st birthday.
Several council mem-bers, including Mayor LoisJackson, got into the spiritby wearing costumes fromyesteryear.
Parks and recreationdirector Ken Kuntz, whodoubled as master of cer-emonies in a fancy suitwith top hat, said a modernarchives facility had longbeen talked about.
The public archives wasmade a reality thanks tojoint federal and provin-cial funding for “shovelready” projects last year.
The $675,000 projectsaw $450,000 come fromthe Provincial/FederalInfrastructure StimulusFund, while the remain-ing $225,000 was paid byDelta.
B.C. Sport and CulturalDevelopment MinisterStephanie Cadieux told theaudience the project would
serve the community formany years to come.
Jackson said the stimulusfunding enabled Delta tobuild a “first-class facilitythat will house key docu-ments vital to the preserva-tion of Delta’s long, richhistory.”
Noting the opening datecoinciding with Dunning’s
birthday was arrangedquite a while ago, prior toDunning’s passing, Jacksonsaid he was very muchlooking forward to theopening.
Dunning left Delta witha lasting legacy and was atFriday’s event in spirit, shesaid.
Jackson said she remem-
bered back in the 1970smany old documents andrecords were simply storedin boxes under stairways.
The mayor then read aletter from Delta-RichmondEast MP John Cummins,who was unable to attend.
“I am pleased that tax-payers’ money has beenused to build this outstand-
ing facility and rememberthe remarkable contributionto Delta of my friend EdgarDunning,” said Cummins.
Anne Peterson, chair ofDelta’s Heritage AdvisoryCommission, notingDunning was still a memberof her commission until hedied, said everyone, includ-ing the municipality andmuseum and archives soci-ety, were in agreement overhaving an archives, but ittook timing, funding and aproper location.
Delta Museum andArchives Society presidentClaudette Hayward said thearchives is a “tremendouscollaboration” betweenDelta and her society.
Hayward, who knewDunning for 45 years, thenpresented an old book,recently donated by long-time resident Tony Wideski,which has the minutes ofthe very first meeting ofDelta council held on Jan.12, 1880, as well as meet-ings through to March1887. Jackson read a fewhand-written paragraphs onwhat transpired at that firstmeeting so long ago.
Wideski told the Optimisthe had the book in storagefor over 40 years, havingreceived it from some-one who worked for theOptimist long ago.
“It’s a long story,” hequipped when asked aboutthe history of the book.
Friday’s event also hadplaque unveiling and, ofcourse, a mandatory ribboncutting.
The facility wasdescribed as “one-stopshopping” for peopleresearching the history ofDelta and its citizens.

Ladner’s Garfield Wilsonmight be getting recognizeda little more around townthese days. He is on a newnational TV show after all.
The personal trainer is apart of Village On A Diet, a10-part series that debutedlast week on CBC.
“Over the 10-part seriesyou’ll see real life happen-ing right before your eyes.It’s really inspirational.One of the things I reallylove about the show is thatit’s a human story. You’llsee what happens whenpeople try to change theirlifestyles. It’s real,” saidWilson.
The show is aboutresidents of Taylor, asmall town in northernB.C. where 60 per centof the population is over-weight or obese, trying tolose one ton of collectiveweight in three months. Ateam of experts, includinga physician, a dietician, achef, a psychologist, alongwith Wilson and anothertrainer, are brought in tohelp.
“In Taylor we werecoming into their commu-nity, into their backyard,into their living rooms andsaying, ‘Look, we knowyou’re interested in chang-ing your lifestyle, here’show you do it.’”
Wilson, who typicallyhas clients coming to himwith goals in mind, said it
was easy in some cases andquite challenging in othersto get the townspeople tobuy into the program.
“You’ll see some peoplethat you’re rooting for kindof fall off the wagon andthen find their way again.Other people ... reallybought into it and theymade some dramatic trans-
formations. You’ll be sur-prised to see who they are.”
Wilson, who has a back-ground in acting and sing-ing, wasn’t bothered bybeing in front of camerasduring filming.
“Doing this project,after the first day you kindof forget the cameras arethere.”
Wilson runs his ownpersonal training busi-ness, Forward Fitness, inVancouver.
Tsawwassen’s GillianLowrey, one of Village OnA Diet’s executive produc-
ers, said the showdoesn’t focusexclusively onweight loss.
“We sent upa psychologist,sent up a doctor, achef, a nutritionist.[We took] more ofa holistic approachto it [by] helpingpeople not justfocus on, ‘Let’sget skinny.’ Butalso how do I eatproperly, how doI exercise prop-erly — changingthat whole way ofthinking.”
Lowrey saidWilson showed alot of enthusiasmand a passiontowards fitness onthe show, whichwas shot betweenApril and July.
“Every weekhe was out there
doing an endurance testwith people being thatcheerleader for them, beingtough when he needed to,”she said.
Village On A Diet airsMondays at 9 p.m. on CBC.

Gentner hasn’t ruled outbid for NDP leadership
Delta North NewDemocrat MLA GuyGentner continues to weighhis options before decidingwhether he’ll run for hisparty’s leadership.
Gentner, who attendedthe opening of the DeltaArchives and EdgarDunning Reading Roomlast Friday, was asked bythe Optimist what his plansare now that a few candi-dates have come forwardseeking the top job.
Last week, NicholasSimons, one of the 13NDP MLAs that bandedtogether to drive out leaderCarole James, became thefirst member of the so-called “Baker’s Dozen” toannounce their candidacy.
MLA John Horganannounced his bid forthe leadership this weekwhile MLA Harry Lali hasalready declared.
The first person todeclare was marijuanaactivist Dana Larsen, whoran for the NDP in the 2008federal election. Larsensecured the endorsementof Tommy Chong, one halfof the comedy duo Cheechand Chong.
Gentner said he wants tosee who else might run andthen weigh his options. Inparticular, Mike Farnworthand perhaps Adrian Dix,both of whom would beconsidered high profile inmedia circles, were alsoexpected to throw their hats
in the ring this week.As to whether he’d
still run, Gentner smiledand quipped, “Let’s put itthis way: If (CBC Newsanchor) Gloria Macarenkodecides not to run, thenI’ll have to weigh myoptions.”
Gentner was jokinglyreferring Liberal leader-ship hopeful, and radiotalk show host, ChristyClark, who has formerTV news anchor PamelaMartin signed on to hercampaign. There is alsothe possibility the NDPmust choose a femaleleader due to the party’sconstitution.
“We’ll see in the nextcouple of weeks what hap-pens,” said Gentner.
Gentner said he sup-ported a leadership votebecause that’s what hisconstituents desired. Thepressure on James, though,forced the NDP leader tostep down rather than fightfor her job.
The leadership vote willbe held April 17.
Having served on Deltacouncil from 1999 to 2005under the TriDelta bannerwith Mayor Lois Jackson,before making the jumpto provincial politics,Gentner’s name has sur-faced as a possible leader-ship candidate.
Last year a website atwww.hesourguy.weebly.com appeared carrying thetitle He’s Our Guy! DraftGuy Gentner for BCNDPLeader.
The site’s anonymouscreators, calling themselvesThe Committee to DraftGuy Gentner for BCNDPLeadership, said the partyneeds to present anothercredible and progressivealternative.
When the websiteappeared, Gentner didn’twant to comment on itscontent, other than to notehe was surprised about thesite and had no knowledgewho’s behind it.
On another topic,Gentner recently visitedjailed B.C. marijuana activ-ist Mark Emery. Gentnerwas also visiting family inthe area, so decided to seeEmery in a Georgia prison,where the “Prince of pot”is serving five years forcharges in connection witha marijuana seed businessin Vancouver.
Gentner said Emery isone of eight Canadians inthe privately-run U.S. mini-mum security facility thathas a population of mostlynon-U.S. citizens.

MURPHY’SLAW
It was a bittersweet day last Friday.The opening of the Delta Archives and
Edgar Dunning Reading Room has tobe considered a significant milestone inthe municipality’s history, a long overduefacility that will preserve the commu-nity’s historically important documentsthanks to state-of-the-art environmentalcontrols.
However, it was sad indeed that theman whose name is now forever etchedon the outside of the former courthouseand municipal hall wasn’t there to par-take in the festivities on what would havebeen his 101st birthday.
There’s no doubt Edgar would havebeen in his element, regaling the crowdwith tales of the past while almost cer-tainly downplaying his considerableinvolvement in the preservation of Delta’shistory. He would have told a few jokes,perhaps a couple of “lies” (those storieshe said that couldn’t be refuted becauseeveryone involved was long gone) andleft the audience marveling at his quickwit and retention of detail.
I had seen variations of the perfor-mance many times over the years and itnever failed to put a smile on my face,although I suspect that as much as Iknew what he was doing as a centenar-ian was amazing, I had witnessed it sooften I became somewhat immune to it.Inevitably, and thankfully, I would bereminded of how remarkable Edgar wasby overhearing someone in the crowd sayto their neighbour, “Did you know he’s100?” I would chuckle to myself but alsobe grateful for the reminder of what wewere experiencing.
Sadly, it’s a treat that now only lives inmy memory.
I missed Edgar at last fall’s DeltaChamber of Commerce banquet, wherehe’d been a fixture for years, but lastFriday’s archives opening would havebeen the first public event since his pass-ing where he would have been front andcentre, where we would have been treatedto his humour, charm and zest for life.
Edgar wasn’t necessarily comfort-able being the centre of attention, buthe played the part well. He had a wayof communicating that was unmatched,teaching us the value of the past by mak-ing it come to life with a healthy dose oflaughter.
It was a nice gesture on Delta’s behalfto recognize Edgar by naming the read-ing room at the new archives after him. Itwas a fitting tribute to a man who did agreat deal to enrich the lives of his fellowDeltans, particularly as it related to thehistory of this place.
It’s just too bad the man of the hourwasn’t there to share it with the rest ofus.

In the news of late, much hasbeen made about the rising cost offood. Surging fuel prices and cli-mate change are but two contribut-ing factors.
Think of Delta’s potato crop lostto last fall’s relentless rainy weath-er. Increased prices follow reducedsupply and continuing demand.
At the same time our local farm-ers were in despair over their croploss, Metro Vancouver publisheda draft report titled Regional FoodSystem Strategy, an attempt to pro-vide information, goals and strate-gies to achieve local food security.The 36-page document is a veryinteresting read.
For example, one of the goalsis to create a Regional FarmlandTrust whereby farmland purchasedwould be leased back to farmers,especially younger farmers thatcannot afford the purchase price ofLower Mainland farms.
In an attempt to stave off devel-opment of farmland and ensurefuture generations of farmers, thetrust would rely on the pool ofresources from both the privateand public sectors. The idea is notnew. Richmond councillor HaroldSteves has initiated discussions toestablish a trust to purchase theSouthlands.
What do hens and chickenstogether with blueberries havein common? They are the toplivestock and fruit crop productsproduced in Metro Vancouver. Topvegetable crop? No surprise —potatoes (when the weather doesn’tmake them into mush). Barley isthe top field crop and a beautifulexample of it was in full display onthe Southlands last fall.
Elsewhere in the report, the eco-nomic importance of agricultureis highlighted. Did you know thatone in eight jobs in the region arerelated to food production? That’ssignificant. B.C.’s food industryrevenue is upwards of $35 billionannually. A large portion comesfrom Metro Vancouver.
In third place behind PittMeadows and Langley Township,Delta has the largest amount ofmunicipal land in the ALR at 56per cent. A staggering 85 per centof Pitt Meadows’ municipal land is
in the ALR with Langley Townshipat 76 per cent.
So what does all this mean forus? It is heartening to know thatMetro Vancouver has produceda report complete with goals andstrategies to undertake what manypeople already understand: localfood production must be secured.Our farmers must be supported andthe importance of their industry issignificant to the region’s economy.
The next generation of farmersmust have access to farmland andnot all of those farms will be hugeindustrial operations. In fact, morethan half the region’s farms are 10acres or smaller. In comparison,the average B.C. farm size is 143acres.
Lastly, we must participate in theprotection of farmland by vigor-ously insisting our politicians, at alllevels, do so.
In the campaign to protect farm-land throughout the region, somedevelopers and politicians attemptto marginalize those who speakout. Deriding efforts as whining,negative or parochial do not informthe discussions.
We can now point to this draftreport and say the goals to protectfarmland, ensure food safety andfood security are shared by theentire region.
Securing our food productionalso key to region’s economy

Editor:Recently an elderly friend
who is partially blind washit by a car while crossingwith the walk signal at thecorner of 12th Avenue and56th Street in Tsawwassen.She ended up in hospitalwith a broken shoulder.
Why should this be aconcern, you might ask,since it is not unusual forpeople to get hit crossing atmarked crosswalks?
I cross at this intersec-tion on a regular basis andhave observed what hap-pens when cars are waitingto turn right on a red lightwhile the green arrow is on
for left turning traffic. Theywait, look and then finally,just as they decide to maketheir turn, the walk signalcomes on for the pedestri-ans.
Sometimes the drivernotices the walk signal, butmore often than not theymake their turn, not evenrealizing they have justseized the right of way fromthe pedestrian who hasalso been waiting patiently.Occasionally someone getshit or at least has to takeevasive action.
I know of several olderpeople who will not evencross the street here if it is
dark or rainy because theyare so afraid of being hit.They have all had closecalls here, as have I.
This part of Tsawwassenis filled with elderly peoplewho are very vulnerable atthis intersection.
Mayor and council,would you please give seri-ous consideration to makingthis a “No Right Turn onRed” corner before anyoneelse gets hurt or killed? Ifdrivers knew they couldn’tturn right on a red light,then pedestrians would bemuch less likely to everhave a problem.
Don Christie
Editor:Over the last few months
several people have askedme to comment on theTsawwassen Area Plan pro-posal to raise the densityof housing along the powerlines corridor.
Over Christmas I finallysaw a map showing theproposed areas that wereincluded in the plan.Frankly, I am flabbergastedat the lunacy of this pro-posal.
Given all that the com-munity went through overfive years trying to find areasonable compromise tothe installation of overheadtransmission lines, and con-sidering all the science sug-gesting the application ofthe precautionary principleregarding the proven leuke-mia and other health effectsof said lines, who couldlogically propose such achange in zoning?
The single-family proper-
ties the lines presently goover is a higher density thanresponsible governmentsshould accept, let alone aproposed fivefold increasein density. What thoughtlessbureaucrat came up withthis idea?
I suspect they thoughtallowing three-storey homesnext to the lines would hidethem from the sight of oth-ers. Seems like this problemjust won’t go away.

Editor:Re: Noise in ear of the
beholder, Murphy’s Law,Jan. 8
I couldn’t agree morewith your statement.
I grew up less than threemiles from a busy militaryjet airport. I serviced air-craft for a time, controlledand flew them for years.Apparently, I like aircraftnoise but I realize noteveryone falls into that cat-egory.
However, I would like tohelp those who don’t. First,a baseline must be estab-lished: during what hours,and at what sound level, isaircraft noise acceptable?While YVR is a valuableasset, that doesn’t give itthe right “to reign over us.”
To put the solution intoperspective, I suggest anovernight stay at FrankfurtInternational Airport Hotelattached to the airport ter-
minal building. At 9 p.m.,all airport noise ceases andno extraneous sound can beheard until 6 a.m.
I found it so quiet as tobe spooky, but I awoke veryrefreshed.
Frankfurt is the busiestairport in Europe duringits hours of operation. Soit can be seen that a stronglocal population-basedorganization can overcomethe pressure of an airportoperator to remain open tothe disregard of the indig-enous population.
In other words, there isno excuse to launch or landa commercial flight thatinterferes with normal sleeptime.
It is the norm forEuropean airports to closeat night and thus the reasonEurope-bound flights fromNorth America scheduletheir arrivals to coincidewith opening of the destina-
tion airport.Why does YVR, second
busiest airport to TorontoPearson (YYZ), not havesimilar nighttime flightrestrictions? There is noreason except there is noeffective local organizationin the Lower Mainland toencourage YVR to conform.
In theory, no aircraft mayland or depart YYZ between12:30 and 6:30 a.m., emer-gencies and police aircraftexcepted. There is also asliding scale significantlyrestricting nighttime operat-ing hours of older, noisierjet aircraft.
There are some remark-able organizers in the localarea that could likely helpbring real changes to YVRnighttime operations butcomplaining about everyvisible aircraft is divisiveand contra effective to thesolution.

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Please allow me to
express my thanks andappreciation to thoseeveryday heroes who ranOperation Red Nose for theninth year.
Carlene Lewall and herlegion of volunteers fromDelta Gymnastics wouldput a special ops team toshame with their precision,efficiency and organization.
My thanks and apprecia-tion also to the many volun-teers that drove, navigated,dispatched, briefed, suppliedfood and coffee, managedthe bookkeeping and worethat Rudy suit. My frequentteammate, Scotty, made thelong hours between 9 p.m.and 4 a.m. fly by swappinglies with me.
My participation asescort driver for all ninenights was made pos-sible by my personal spon-sors: Morita Auto BodyServices, Dawson Service,Jack and Nancy Buchan,
Jill Seymour, Otter Co-opLadner Gas Bar and theBuck & Ear Pub, whichcovered the gas for the2,400 kilometres I drove.Thank you as well to theDelta Optimist for printingmy appeal.
All the pub, restaurantand nightclub managementencountered were veryappreciative of Red Nosegetting their clients safelyhome and promoted the ser-vice actively.
Finally, and most impor-tantly, I thank all the clientswho phoned Operation RedNose instead of trying todrive home impaired. Goodcall!
One client said we hadsaved him $6,000 after weshepherded him through aroadblock. It was the firsttime he had used OperationRed Nose.
More than that I cannotsay, because what happensin Red Nose stays in RedNose, but his generous
donation will go with allthe others to support youthsports.
Using Operation RedNose has evolved in thepublic’s consciousness froman embarrassment (“I hopethe neighbours don’t seeus”) to a cool, responsiblesocial act (“We’re ridinghome with the reindeer!”).
Attitudes are definitelychanging. People oftenapproach me as I sit in myescort vehicle outside pubsand nightclubs to learnmore about Red Nose,congratulate us for volun-teering for the free serviceand take literature for theirfriends.
One particularly encour-aging observation: moreand more young folks,men and women, are usingOperation Red Nose. That,in itself, is sufficient motiveto keep me driving.
Thanks everyone. HappyNew Year to you all.

Editor:Re: Saip backs Falcon,teacher idea, Jan. 8
While it sounds rightthat the best teachersdeserve to be the best paid,the idea is fraught with dif-ficulty.
How is to be avoidedthat the same incentivesintended to achieve excel-
lent results do not becomeincentives to avoid dif-ficult or under-achievingstudents; incentives to fillone’s class with academicstars?
Monetizing excellencecould lead to the sort ofcompetition that leaveslate bloomers and themost challenged with the
lesser teachers in the lesserschools.
A public school shouldbe a balanced place wherestudents meet and engagewith the broadest range ofpeople.
All students deserve andrequire access to the bestteachers.

Editor:I understand the B.C.
Lottery Corporation hasprovided $400 million tothe private, for-profit casinoindustry to help it with itsbottom line.
This has happeneddespite the fact the pro-vincial government has
viciously slashed theamount of support availableto the many communitygroups throughout B.C. thatrely on gaming money.
As the president of DeltaDeas Rowing Club, anorganization that has trainedmany young athletes for thenational team, I am angry
this is occurring. Our clubgot virtually no supportfrom the government lastyear and many groups gotnothing.
How does the govern-ment justify this payout tothe casinos? Give us ourmoney.

Leadership runruled out afterdeliberations
After much soul-search-ing and much discussionwith family and friends, Ihave made a decision: I willnot be running for the lead-ership of a political party.
Yes, there are opportu-nities out there. Yes, ourprovincial political picturecould use a little pick-me-up.
And yes, I have beenencouraged to make a runfor it. (Just two weeks ago,for instance, my youngestson told me: “I think youneed to get a hobby.” Ifthat isn’t an indication thathe thinks I should head toVictoria, I don’t know whatis.)
But the fact is, I’vecome to decide — andagain, after much heart-felt contemplation — thatpolitics is not a hobby.It’s not something you doon Tuesdays after dinner.It’s something you do onWednesdays, too — beforeAND after dinner.
I have also come to real-ize — this, after a discus-sion with my husband andsoul mate — that I may notbe cut out for politics.
I know: a stunning self-discovery. But the truth is,politicians — and especiallypolitical leaders — haveto do things I may not be,well, particularly adept at.
For one, they have totalk. A lot. In front of tele-vision cameras and micro-phones. And in town hallsfilled with people. Lots ofpeople.
Now I like to talk asmuch as the next person.But if someone put a micro-phone in front of my mouth,I think there’s a chance Imight forget my train ofthought and start to babbleon about something unre-lated to politics. Like meatloaf, say.
Politicians also have tospend a lot of time in meet-ings. Now I don’t knowabout you, but I’ve never
been particularly fond ofmeetings — unless theyinvolve a pub, some decentChardonnay and four orfive girlfriends who need todecide who brings what toan upcoming spa weekend.
Politicians also need toknow a lot about things.When I say a lot, I meanA LOT. (And I’m not talk-ing about how to removered wine stains. I’m talkingreally IMPORTANT stuff.You know, like taxation andresource-management andeducation funding. Heck,they probably even need toknow where Randy and EviQuaid are holed up.)
And lastly — and thismay have been the clincherin my ultimate decision— I came to the realiza-tion that politicians need toown more than four pairsof shoes (none of them run-ners) and a really decentbusiness suit. In my case,the closet tends to run heav-ily in the direction of sneak-ers, and there isn’t a suit tobe seen — let alone a brief-case. I suspect that no one,alas, would take seriouslya candidate in track pants,Nikes and a sweatshirt thatlost its luster 27 washingsago.
So there you have it.The deliberations, I have tosay, were nothing short ofexhausting.
But the decision, myfriends, has now beenmade. It’s just so freeing tohave it behind me.
Lack of public speaking skills, andwardrobe, conspire against bid

Business
For many customers,walking into The CelticTreasure Chest British andEuropean Imports is liketaking a step back to anoth-er time and place.
The Tilbury IndustrialPark retail store and ware-house is busting at theseams with a wide selectionof products imported fromEngland, Ireland, Scotland,Wales and North Ireland— from tea and biscuits tocrisps, candies and sweets.
For items that cannot beimported, owners Steve andLil McVittie do their bestto source Canadian madeproducts just as good, orbetter, than the original.
They carry British stylebacon, sausages, Scotchpies,blackpudding,whitepudding,MeltonMowbrays and meat pies.They also stock haggis, andmany other Scottish items,for anyone celebratingRobbie Burns Day later thismonth.
The McVitties openedtheir first store inVancouver eight years agoafter retiring from theirrespective careers.
The McVittie rootsrun deep in the UnitedKingdom and the couplehas visited the area.
“We both kind of fell inlove with British products,”
Steve said.After retirement, they
decided to open a store fea-turing the UK products theyloved.
Almost a decade later,the couplenow hasthree loca-tions andis also asupplier for
many other retailers.The McVitties opened
the Tilbury location a yearago. They were looking forwarehouse space to housethe wholesale businessand decided to convert theoffice space into a store.
Steve said customersdrive from all over to theTilbury location to findtheir favourite British prod-ucts. One of a big draws,he said, is the selection theyoffer.
They don’t just carrycrisps — they have Walker’s
brand from England, Taytofrom Ireland and Real fromWales. They carry severaldifferent kinds of British,Irish, Scottish and Welshteas imported directly fromthe UK; there are severaldifferent brands of jams,sauces, puddings, cookiesand sweets.
The couple delights inseeing their customers’reactions to finding prod-ucts and many regulars willbring back new items fromtrips across the pond.
The Celtic TreasureChest British and EuropeanImports is located at 7550River Rd. For more infor-mation visit www.britisheu-ropeanimports.ca.

Feedback
After years of Gordon Campbell and Carole James occupying theirparties’ top spots, both the Liberals and NDP are in the process ofselecting a new leader. Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon and George Abbott
are among those competing for the Liberal leadership while JohnHorgan has announced his candidacy for NDP leader and is expectedto be joined by Mike Farnworth and Adrian Dix. The Optimist asked:
Have any leadership candidates caught your eye?
Joyce RobinsonNo. They’re all pretty bad, Ithink. There’s no one therethat sort of snaps out atyou.
Last time we asked you:
What would you like for Christmas?53.49 per cent said a million dol-lars.30.23 per cent said world peace.

•
16.28 per cent said I’d take theCanucks winning the Cup thisseason as a belated present.

Patrick DunnKevin Falcon would beone that I’m interested in.Christy Clark [too]. Just tosee what they have to say.I respect both of them asintelligent individuals. I’mnot interested in the NDPat all.
David ArchambaultI am not particularly inter-ested in Christy Clark as aLiberal candidate. I wouldlike someone that hascontinuous experience andshe’s been out of the politi-cal scene for quite a while.
Bob RocheNo. They all appear aboutthe same and none ofthem are outstanding. Ithink both parties neednew blood.
Cliff MatsonChristy Clark has. I’m aChristy Clark fan.

You were unique like no one who hasever been before or will come after.
No one will smile your smile.No one will ever take your place

Kirk was the guy who would see someone aloneor elderly in Ricki’s or ABC and quietly pay for their meal
-- just because. He would always give to a panhandler.He cared so very much about people. That’s why therewas over 900 people at his service. He always tried to
make everyone around him feel special.
Not a day passes Kirk without a happy memoryor a very sad tear. We love you.

Name: Mackenzie Age: 10Occupation: Elementary school studentWhat is the activity? Red Cross Race Ready swim programthrough Team Sungod Swim Club.Where & when does it take place? Saturday mornings from7:45 – 9am at Sungod Recreation Centre.How often do you participate? Once a week.How long have you been involved? I’ve been swimmingsince I was a baby and I have completed one Race Ready setso far.Why did you get involved in this activity? I’ve been takingRed Cross Swim Kids lessons and I want to maintain myRed Cross certifications but I wanted to know what it wouldbe like to be in a swim club. This course has 45 minutesof swim club coaching and 30 minutes of Red Cross WaterSafety and Skills, so it is perfect for me.What do you like best about this activity? I really like thewater safety.How does it benefit your life? It is important to know howto swim and I can work toward being a lifeguard if I want tocontinue.What other things do you do to keep active? Ballet,jazz dance, track & field and I like to play footy (AustralianFootball) in the spring.Did you know that swim clubs operate in either a fall/winteror the spring/summer seasonal format? Summer clubsgenerally use outdoor pools and are a great way for childrenwho play hockey, ringette, soccer or ski to stay involved inswimming. Both summer and winter clubs offer a variety ofoptions for participants, from competitive to recreationalswimmers. Swim club coaching complements the skillstaught in rec centre swim lessons and allows swimmers to‘take it to the next level’.For more information on swim clubs and for other waysto be active in Delta, contact your local rec centre orgo to www.corp.delta.bc.ca. 01

Just because you have maculardegeneration or other eye diseaseslike diabetic retinopathy doesn’tmean you mustgive up driving.
Ever look through a pair of fieldglasses or binoculars? Things lookbigger and closer, and much easierto see. Dr. Ross Cusic is usingminiaturized binocularsor tele-scopes to help people who havelost vision from macular degenera-tion or other eye conditions.
“Some of my patients considerme the last stop for people whohave vision loss.” Said Dr. Cusic,a low vision Optometrist. “Peopledon’t know that there are doctorswho are very experienced in lowvision care.”
Irv Matthes drove all the wayfrom Penticton, BC to Kirkland,“Thank youfor putting someliving back into my life.I couldnever have done this withoutthese reading glasses.Now I canwritethis letter and solve the dailycryptogram in the newspaper.”
Macular Degeneration is themostcommon eye disease amongstthe seniorpopulation. As many as25% of thoseover 65 have somedegree of degeneration. The mac-ula is one small part of theentireretina, but it is the most sensitiveand gives us sharp images. Whenit degenerates macular degenera-tion leaves a blind spot right inthe center of vision making itimpossible to recognize faces,read a book, or pass the driver’svision test.
The experts do not know whatcauses macular degeneration. Butit is known that UV light from thesun is a major contributing factor.Other factors are smoking, agingof course, and improper nutrition.15 to 20% of the time is isgenetic.
There are two types, wet anddry. The wet type involves leakyblood vessels and can be laseredshut. Unfortunately, it’s a tempo-rary fix since other leaks usuallyoccur.
“Our job is to figure out every-thing and anything possible tokeep a person functioning.” saysDr. Cusic. Washington and Oregonare among many states that allowthe use of telescopic glasses tohelp meet the vision requirementsfor driving.
Donald Pauerre, 72, a formercounty assessor from Anaheim,California was seen last No-vember. I could not read mysaxophone music anymore.”
The doctor fit him with bioptictelescope glasses. “Amazing!”says Donald. “I can read the streetsigns twice as far as I did before.I can play my sax again.Happyday!”
Dr. Cusic also provides specialprismatic reading glasses to makethe newspaper a little easier toread.
Carole Buckles, 71, of Arcadia,California came on the advise ofa friend. “I wanted to be able tokeep driving and do the fun thingsin life.” One of those fun things isbaseball. “I love going to baseballgames and now I cansee thoseclose plays again,” say Carol.
Bioptic Telescopic glasses wereprescribed to read signs and seetraffic lights farther away. AsCarole put it, “These telescopeglasses not only allow me to readsigns from a farther distance, butmake driving much easier. I’vealso used them to watch televisionso I don’thave to sit so close.Definitely worth the $1950 cost. Idon’t know why I waited two yearsto do this. I should have comesooner.”
Peter Rhodes traveled fromManchester, UK to be fit for spe-cial amorphic glasses for RetinitisPigmentosa. He is one of the firstpatients in the United States or theUK to be helped with this rare eyedisorder.
Ellen Imboden traveled for Swe-denand was helped with two pairsof glasses. Special $475 prismaticglasses that lether read newsprint,as well as bioptic telecopes tocontinue driving in Sweden.
Low vision devices are notalways expensive. Some readingglasses cost aslittle as $375 andsome magnifers under $100.Every case is different becausepeople have different levels ofvision and different desires.
Dr. Cusic sees patients in his of-fices in Kirkland, Bellingham andOlympia, and can be reached at:
425-285-1230or tollfree at 1-877-823-2020.

Delta SportsIce Hawks set for another shot at SockeyesCaptain Liam Harding will look to continue his high scoring ways when Delta visits first place Richmond on Thursday
The Delta Ice Hawksare hoping there are moregoals in Liam Harding’ssizzling stick headinginto Thursday’s night’sclash with the RichmondSockeyes.
The 20-year-old captainis off to a sensational startin 2011 — netting fivegoals in last week’s 8-7 winover the Port Moody BlackPanthers, then adding a hattrick in Saturday’s 5-2 vic-tory over the North DeltaDevils. The South DeltaMinor Hockey product isnow 10-points clear of line-mate Cody Smith atop thePacific International JuniorHockey League scoringrace with 63 points in 32games, including 29 goals.
Harding will need to beat his best for his team’spivotal meeting with thefirst place Sockeyes atMinoru Arena (7:30 p.m.)Richmond not only owns aleague best 27-4-3 record,it has lost just one sincethe end of October — anoutstanding run 17-1 thatincludes two wins over theIce Hawks.
It’s not a stretch to sug-gest first place in the TomShaw Conference might beout of Delta’s grasp shouldit fall to its cross-river rivalonce again. The Sockeyesbegan the week with athree-point lead over theIce Hawks (26-6-2) and afive-point cushion may be
insurmountable the waythese two teams dominatethe rest of the league.
If the Sockeyes arelooking for any extramotivation, it comes fromthe announcement of therosters for next week’s all-star game. The Ice Hawkshad eight players named tothe Tom Shaw Conferenceteam, including four start-ers, compared to just five-for Richmond.
Goalie Doug Birks,defenceman Alex Martinand forwards Hardingand Smith were first teamselections. DefencemanRyan Mana was namedto the second team,while Ryan Cuthbert(defenceman), SpencerTraher (forward) and KyeBenjaminsen (forward)were also chosen. Thegame goes on Monday inAbbotsford.
It most certainly hasbecome a two horse racefor top spot with the reelingNorth Delta Devils havingfallen off the pace. The IceHawks handed the Devilstheir seventh consecutivedefeat with Saturday’s win.
The visitors dominatedthe final 20 minutes withthree unanswered goals— capped off by Harding’sthird of the night with 2:11remaining during a manadvantage. Cody Fidgetthad the other two goals,while Smith added a pair
of assists. Nick Enegrenmade 25 saves for the winas the Ice Hawks enjoyed ahuge advantage in the shotdepartment (49-27).
Last week’s wild affair
against Port Moody, sawthe Ice Hawks jump outto a 3-1 first period leadthen allow the visitors toscore four of the next fivegoals, before rallying for
the win. Harding’s fifth ofthe night at the 6:20 markof the third period, provedto be the game winner afterthe Panthers closed out thescoring with a pair of goals.
Smith also had a big nightwith four assists, whileAaron Merrick had threehelpers. Anthony Brito,Mark Whiteley and Martinhad the other goals.

Val Wiebe made his debut in theRoyals goal with several impressivesaves including two from point blankrange. His new teammates gave himsome insurance 11 minutes from full-
time, when Matt Fahlman cleverly slot-ted the ball home from a tight angleafter out-racing the Surrey goalkeeper.
A late United penalty made for atense final seven minutes, but somesolid defending and cool heads gavethe home side all three points. TheRoyals reserves have now won threestraight and are back to .500 overall(6-1-6), heading into Saturday’s datewith Rino’s Westside at Point Greysecondary school in Vancouver.
