With a municipal electionlooming, Delta council this weekset into motion the process toconsider one of the longest stand-ing issues in the community— whether to allow developmenton the Southlands.
On Monday night, civic politi-
cians officially received CenturyGroup’s application to amend theOfficial Community Plan (OCP)and approved a lengthy publicconsultation process.
The process will start early in2012 with a series of public infor-mation meetings before councilconsiders preliminary approvalof the application. If given thatapproval, the application would
then be subject to its first publichearing.
Century Group president SeanHodgins welcomed council’s deci-sion.
“This is the long-awaited logi-cal next step in the process of col-laborative community planning,”he said. “We’ve worked with thecitizens of Tsawwassen for fiveyears to come up with a plan that
produces multiple communitybenefits, including activatingcommunity-based farming whileproviding local housing diversity.Now council will officially con-sider that plan, seek stakeholderinput and listen to the commu-nity.”
The application to amend theOCP seeks a comprehensivedevelopment for the Southlands
that would include agriculturaluses, natural habitat, public openspace and greenways on 80 percent of the land — about 429acres — and residential, commer-cial, park and institutional uses onthe remaining 20 per cent.
Ownership of the 80 percent would be transferred
Next month’s municipal elec-tion for Delta council and theDelta school board will be a morecompetitive affair compared tothree years ago.
When the nomination periodclosed last Friday, 37 candidateshad filed papers to run in the Nov.19 election.
Four are running for mayor, 13are vying for one of the six coun-cillor seats, while 20 are lookingto land one of the seven trusteepositions.
The council total is up slightlyfrom 2008, but it is the schoolboard race that is decidedly dif-ferent. During the last election theboard was acclaimed when onlyseven candidates put their namesforward, yet now there almostthree times as many candidates asavailable seats.

The dogfirst developed a taste for the baby product eight years ago when his owners’ granddaughter left one behind. Since then, when Joe finds a soother in thechildren’s play area at Memorial Park he will carry it around for a couple of weeks, causing considerable hilarity around Ladner Village, before tiring of it.

The mayor’s race in thisyear’s municipal electionhas already had its firstbump in the road as new-comer John Meech has leftRenew Delta to become anindependent.
Meech had been partof the new electoral orga-nization, but last Friday,as the nomination periodwas about to close, heannounced he would berunning on his own “inorder to present his strongviews on topics of impor-tance to the people of Deltawithout constraint.”
He said change will becoming to Delta one way oranother, and proactive rath-er than reactive responseis a better approach thanthe way things have beenhandled under the currentadministration.
North Delta residentRanjit Heer, a council can-didate who founded RenewDelta, told the Optimist thesplit was due to “philosoph-ical differences” but saidmembers of the group stilladmire Meech. She alsosaid they’re “into running avery positive campaign.”
Even though they alsolike Mayor Lois Jackson asa person, it’s time for a newvision, said Heer.
Jackson and Meech arejoined in the mayor’s race
by former councillor KristaEngelland and currentcouncil member HeatherKing.
Jackson, who is runningon the Delta IndependentVoters Association slatewith councillors Ian Paton,Scott Hamilton and RobertCampbell, has been onDelta council since 1973,when she became the firstwoman elected to council.She’s been mayor since1999 and for the past sever-al years has also been chair
of Metro Vancouver.Jackson said if re-elected
for a fifth term she wouldwork to keep property taxeslow, pay off the municipal-ity’s debt and build withoutincurring new debt.
A one-time political allyof Jackson’s, Engelland,who recently held a coupleof town hall meetings inSouth Delta and will holdone in North Delta in earlyNovember, was on coun-cil for 15 years. She gaveup her seat to run against
Jackson in 2008.She’s taking another run
at the top job, this time aspart of an electoral orga-nization called One Delta.Her platform includes pro-moting development “thatis planned, controlled andregulated in accordancewith citizen input andacceptance.”
Having already statedher opposition to develop-ment on the contentiousSouthlands, her platformalso includes ensuring “that
all Delta land zoned foragricultural use is protectedfor local food security.”
Making the mayor’s raceeven more intriguing isthe candidacy of King, thefirst-term councillor andformer school trustee whotopped the council polls inthe last municipal election.
Her website states shelives her life with a can-do attitude: “Instead ofpointing fingers, she takesresponsibility and asksthe tough questions witha focus on solutions. Asmayor, Heather will be opento finding innovative solu-tions to Delta’s issues nomatter how big or small...”
Her platform includesensuring building onalready developed landto “build up not out andincrease density in towncenters rather than recre-ate the urban sprawl of the1960s.”
Delta council candidateSylvia Bishop is calling onFabian Milat to rescind hisnomination for either coun-cil or Delta school boardprior to Friday’s withdrawaldeadline.
Milat, a three-term Deltaschool trustee, is runningas an independent for bothoffices, and intends to siton council and school boardsimultaneously if elected.
“When someone runs foran elected office, they needto be 100 per cent com-mitted to doing that job,”Bishop said this week.
She said she’s also heardconcerns about the factMilat would collect twopublicly-funded salariessimultaneously.
Milat, however, said hefeels if he wins a seat onboth council and schoolboard it would be positivefor the community. He saidhaving a representativeon the board and councilwould benefit both in termsof cost sharing initiativesand other issues.
Bishop’s volley is a signthe municipal election cam-paign is starting to heat upnow that the nominationdeadline has passed.
Milat said he has beendoor knocking in NorthDelta since summer andadded he’s almost finisheddoing the same in Ladner.He’ll then move on toTsawwassen. He quippedhe’s lost 25 pounds with all
that exercise.He told the Optimist
there are different issues ineach community, but someare common everywhere,including taxation.
Bruce McDonald, whowas first elected to councilin 1987, also said the threecommunities have theirspecific issue of concern.He expects the Southlandswill be a big one inTsawwassen, but has alsoheard concerns about thefuture impacts of the SouthFraser Perimeter Road andTsawwassen First Nationcommercial development.
In Ladner, McDonaldsaid the business commu-nity is keeping a close eyeon the opportunities water-
front redevelopment couldbring, while in North Deltapeople agree more needs tobe done to stimulate rede-velopment.
Other council candidateshave also been making theirpresence known through-out Delta, including NeilCorbett, who’s been attend-ing various events andposting them on his blog.Websites, blogs and othersocial media, includingFacebook, have become avaluable tool for many ofthe candidates.
Recently having visitedScott Road businesses inher tour of Delta, RanjitHeer said many have statedit’s time for a change.
At least one new face
will become a councillorbecause Heather King isvacating her seat after oneterm to take a run at themayor’s job.
Incumbents Ian Paton,who won last year’s by-elec-tion, Scott Hamilton andRobert Campbell are on theDelta Independent VotersAssociation ticket.
Garth Cuthbert and Heerare part of a new electoralorganization called RenewDelta.
The rest of the councilcandidates are indepen-dents, although McDonaldis endorsing former coun-cillor Jeannie Kanakosin her bid to return to thetable.

A plethora of nameswill be on the ballot whenDelta voters choose theirnew school board in nextmonth’s civic election.
Unlike 2008, when theseven members of the boardwere acclaimed becausethey were the only onesto file nomination papers,a total of 20 will run thisyear.
Current chair DaleSaip is leading the DeltaR.E.A.L. (ResponsibleEducation and AcademicLeadership) Team, whichincludes fellow incumbentsBrenda Bennett-Schneiderand Simon Truelove as
well as newcomer NickKanakos. It’s the only slatein the school board race asthe rest of the candidatesare independents.
All incumbents, with theexception of Gordon Masi,are seeking re-election.
Janet Shauntz, a for-mer board chair, told theOptimist she was asked tojoin Saip’s team again butwasn’t able to give him aresponse in time due tofamily matters.
She said the lack of can-didates in the last electionwas an anomaly, and thatit’s always a good thingwhen lots of people expressinterest and submit theirnames to run.
“You never know who’sgoing to run and how manypeople are going to showup, but in the past we’vealways had a great deal ofinterest and candidates,” shesaid.
Donna Burke, the DistrictParent Advisory Council(DPAC) chair from 2006 to2010, said the 2008 non-election “was very frustrat-ing for those of us whowanted to have a frank andopen discussion about thechallenges facing schooldistricts in B.C.”
Val Windsor, the formerDelta Teachers’ Associationpresident, said she intendsto be an advocate forDelta students, particu-larly around the real costof funding for those withspecial needs.
This past spring trust-ees adopted an operatingbudget that had a severalreductions to help make upa $3.49 million shortfall. Itwas the latest in a series of
cutbacks, which includedclosing Delta Manor andBoundary Beach elemen-tary schools in 2009, amove that proved highlyunpopular.
Shauntz noted those clo-sures aren’t likely the onlyreason more people havestepped forward to run inthis election.
“There’s governmentinitiatives, there’s fund-ing issues, there’s personalissues that people have, likewanting to advocate morefor their child, so it varies,”she said.

School trustees will notbe acclaimed this time
to the Corporation of Delta.Construction on the remain-ing 20 per cent wouldinclude 950 housing units.
The application alsorequires approval from theMetro Vancouver boardsince it would amend theRegional Growth Strategy.That process would alsolikely involve a public hear-ing.
“The Southlands plan is aregionally significant modelfor agricultural urbanism,demonstrating how we canbest plan at the urban edgeto sustain local agriculture,”Hodgins said. “I look for-ward to Delta advancingour proposal to Metro atsome point in the future sothat this opportunity can beconsidered.”
If the OCP amendmentis approved, Century Groupwould then have to makean application to rezonethe property, which wouldalso be subject to the publichearing process.
Councillors BruceMcDonald and RobertCampbell both said Mondaynight they are happy to seea specific proposal comeforward for the property.
“I think it’s appropri-ate and reasonable for thecitizens of South Delta tohave an opportunity to lookat a really specific proposalfor that land rather thanjust deal with hypotheti-cals,” said McDonald. “I’mpleased to see that we’regoing into the consultationprocess.”

Little hope 601 goes downtown again
It appears there is littlechance the beloved 601 buswill be returned to its for-mer glory.
Delta council receiveda presentation fromTransLink representativeBrian Mills Monday night,after which Mayor LoisJackson asked about thefuture of the 601.
When the CanadaLine rapid transit serviceopened in 2009, TransLinkamended several bus routes,including the 601, whichused to take passengersdirectly from South Deltato downtown Vancouver viaGranville Street.
It now travels betweenSouth Delta and theBridgeport Canada Linestation, where riders head-ing into the city musttransfer onto the train tocontinue their trip.
Many regular transit rid-ers were unhappy with thechange, which seems tohave hit seniors particularlyhard.
A representative fromDelta’s seniors planningteam told council Mondaythat many local seniorshave simply stopped goingdowntown since the 601route was amended.
Many with mobility andother issues, and safety con-cerns, find having to makethe transfers difficult andhave opted to stay closer tohome.
Jackson asked Mills toview the 601 issue from theseniors’ perspective.
“Efficiency for them isto get on one bus and arriveat their destination and Ithink that’s what peoplewere used to for a very longtime here... Is there any waywe can get that 601 backagain?”
Mills said there’s nochance that the 601 directservice to Vancouver willbe restored.
He said that while theissues identified are real,it’s a matter of efficientlyserving the entire region.
“We live in a very largeurban region and there aremany, many places thatpeople want to travel to tosatisfy their employment,for recreational and socialopportunities,” he said, “andit’s not possible, as you canunderstand, for us to serveevery one of those directly.
“So the way we providethe maximum quality ofservice both in terms of thefrequency and the choice oflocations is that we have asystem in which there arefrequent services that pro-
vide connections with eachother.”
He said that having tomake transfers to get to adestination is a reality ofa transit system serving a
complex urban region.He added it is not cost
effective or reliable forTransLink to providesingle-use direct services tospecific destinations.
“We have a practice alsoof not duplicating servicesthat we’ve invested in heav-ily.”
Mills said TransLinkis looking at improving
HandyDart services bymaking them more flexibleand increasing the hours.
He also said the transpor-tation authority is looking atstarting a new TravelSmart
program that will providebetter travel information topeople using the system andcould help those new to,or unsure about, using thepublic transit system.
Mayor asks TransLink to restore direct bus service to Vancouver, but she’s told that’s not an efficient option

Election tooffer morethan 2008
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
The last municipal election was, to putit bluntly, lame. The race for the mayor’schair had only two legitimate candidates,the council contest attracted just 10hopefuls and there was so little interestin the school board the seven people whoput their names forward to run were allacclaimed.
For a citizenry that prides itself onletting its voice be heard, the lowest can-didate total in the last two decades madeit a forgettable election. With exactly amonth to go until this year’s civic vote, itappears we’ve returned to a more normalstate of affairs with the races for all threeoffices promising to be far more conten-tious.
Mayor Lois Jackson not only facesanother challenge from Krista Engelland,but must also fend off 2008 council poll-topper Heather King and John Meech,who has made a name for himself asan advocate for responsible Southlandsdevelopment.
The four-term incumbent has fabu-lous support in North Delta to thank forher previous victories, so if that’s stillsolid, she’ll be tough to beat. If, how-ever, voters think it’s time for a changeafter a dozen years, they have choices,although it would mean opting for aTsawwassenite.
The mayor’s race could also go a longway to determining how the council voteshakes out. If voters return Jackson, it’salmost a certainty her DIVA runningmates also get back in, allowing the slateto retain its control of civic government.Should she not get a fifth term, her coattails won’t be nearly as long, leading to apossible shake up.
Veteran Bruce McDonald is a slamdunk, while 2010 by-election runner-upSylvia Bishop and former councillorJeannie Kanakos have to be consideredfrontrunners to break into the top six.
Interest in the race for school boardseats is night-and-day compared to threeyears earlier with a whopping 20 vying tobecome trustees. Six of the seven incum-bents are running again, which shouldgive them a leg up, but I think this raceis far more wide open given the lack ofan election last time around as well asthe school closures and other budget cutsthat ensued.
Former teachers’ association presidentVal Windsor and former parents advisorycouncil chair Donna Burke have goodname recognition, but there are a host ofothers that are also worthy of voter con-sideration.
If there’s one certainty in this election,it’s that the results won’t be a foregoneconclusion. That in itself ensures thisvote will top its predecessor.

There’s an odd disconnectbetween government and the waythe rest of society operates. Forsome reason, the common sense weapply to everyday situations seemsto be lacking in our governmentpolicies.
For example, suppose your 30-year-old son lives at home andcontributes nothing to the house-hold. He regularly assaults you andyou’ve caught him stealing fromyou over 50 times. Do you let itcontinue or do you remove himfrom the house?
The obvious answer is the latter.Well, obvious to everyone exceptthose running our criminal justicesystem, who seem to believe thatno matter how unfit for societysome people prove themselves tobe, we should still extend them ourhospitality.
How about the idea of re-distri-
bution? Suppose your child worksvery hard in school and gets all As,while other children slack-off, ormaybe just aren’t as smart, and getall Ds. Should percentage pointsbe taken from your child and givento the other children to boost theirgrades? Doing so would certainlyimprove the prospects of the otherchildren.
Still, we don’t do it because itwould encourage and reward thelazy, while discouraging and penal-izing the hard working. Yet, that’sexactly how our “progressive” taxsystem is structured.
Now, imagine a family that isunable to meet its financial obliga-tions and is facing an uncertainfuture. It needs a house and decidesto buy the most expensive one onthe market — so expensive, no oneelse is willing to purchase it. You’dthink they were idiots, right? Well,that’s exactly what our governmentsand our transit authority do everytime they choose the SkyTrainmodel for transit projects.
Consider the same family, nowunable to adequately fund evenits core needs, still actively look-ing for new and frivolous ways tospend money. Would you assist itwith a big chunk of your income orjust let it face the inevitable reck-
oning?Unfortunately, we don’t get that
choice with our elected officials,and the reckoning never comes.They just swap chairs, shrug theircollective shoulders and take moreof our money. Nothing reallychanges. Government policies arelike teachers. No matter how badlya particular one performs, you’llnever be able to get rid of it.
We pay dearly for the lack ofcommon sense demonstrated byour elected officials. I call it the“idiocy tax,” which is how thenew taxes the Mayors’ Council onRegional Transportation recentlyvoted for should be titled. You’dhave to be an idiot to think it’s fairto force taxpayers to pay for ourtransportation network again... andagain... and again...
I’d be interested to know exactlywhat our idiocy tax rate currentlyis. How much do we pay everyyear as a result of wasteful spend-ing, policies rife with unintendedconsequences, misguided spendingprograms and spending programsdesigned to do nothing more thanbuy votes? It’s probably enoughto build 20 Evergreen Lines, withplenty left over to whittle downthe bills we’re bequeathing to ourchildren.
Lack of common sense pushes‘idiocy tax’ rate ever higher

Letters to the Editor
Editor:As we approach our
municipal election we willnotice the expenditures bycandidates will becomemore and more evident— signs, advertisements,phone calls, special events,etc. This no doubt providesgood business for variousmedia, and others, andbecomes a welcome boostfor them in parlous times.
Campaign expenses andcontributions have to bedeclared after an election.That seems to be rather toolate for the humble voterto know who is supportingthese expenditures, and tojudge if the financial sup-port is from vested inter-ests, or just the generalpublic.
When a rather profligatecampaign appears it is pos-
sible to draw the conclu-sion there must be somebig money being givenout. The common politicalassumption is that moneytriumphs.
How nice it would be iflarge donations had to bedeclared before an election.At least we could avoid theimpression that democracyis being warped by money.

And so it begins... thenext phase of the Deltaportexpansion.
The port has its plan andis starting its public “con-sultation,” telling us whatthe project will entail. I’msure the local papers willbe explaining the projectdetails at the causewayintermodal yards, so per-haps I can speak about theprovincial contribution tothe expansion. I guess youcould say I am helping theport “consult” with you.
First, it is vitally impor-tant we understand projectjargon. You have probablyheard of the ContainerCapacity ImprovementProgram (CCIP). That is theumbrella program for theDeltaport Intermodal Yard(DPIY) and the DeltaportTerminal, Road & RailImprovement Program(DTRRIP). At one pointI was told the DTRRIPincluded Terminal 2 (T2),but I have since been toldnot so. To encapsulate: theDTRRIP and DPIY are partof the CCIP but not T2.Got it?
Second, the premier’s“Jobs Plan” bears remark-able resemblance to all theprevious government eco-nomic development plans.The order of the goals ischanged to reflect the latestiteration, which is not tosay that if those same long-
term plans bear fruit (in theface of the world economy),B.C. will secure the royal-ties and jobs we need tostay afloat. (We won’t dis-cuss, at the moment, whatthe environmental impactswill be as the provinceremoves barriers to large-scale resource develop-ment.)
However, back to Delta:the Jobs Plan has a $50million contribution to thecapacity improvement pro-gram (remember CCIP?)at Deltaport. The $50 mil-lion, however, is directedspecifically at the DeltaportTerminal, Road & RailImprovement Program (theDTRRIP). Even more spe-cifically, it is primarily for“additional rail opportuni-ties” (remember, I’m help-ing the port “consult”) onB.C. Rail land.
It appears there will bean additional passing trackbetween 72nd Street andthe causeway, plus addi-tional support tracks westof Arthur Drive. There willbe a total of nine tracksbetween Arthur Drive and41B Street.
All of the tracks will beon existing right of way orwithin the “option lands”that B.C. Rail purchasedfrom the Guichons. Portofficials tell me the trackswill be within a 200-footcorridor. And in case youdidn’t know, the tracks arepart of what is now calledthe Gulf [Rail] Yard. (Thesiding at 72nd Street is theFisher Yard — another his-toric Delta name).
The Jobs Plan also men-tions the Foreign Trade
Zone, which it now calls theInternational Trade Zone(ITZ). I can’t tell you moreabout the ITZ because whenthe minister told the DeltaNorth MLA and I duringquestion period that thefeasibility report would beavailable in July, he failedto tell us the report wouldbe termed a draft and thusbe unavailable to MLAs.
What I can tell you,however, is that it is thecontainer terminal companythat is promoting the ITZ,which to be efficient needsto be close to a port andeasily accessible.
I have no doubt at all thegovernment will authorizean ITZ and that it is almostguaranteed to be in Deltaand on our agriculturalland.
What is becoming appar-ent is the governmentintends to industrialize thetriangle of land to the eastof TFN and bounded byHighway 17 and the railline. Combine that withthe industrial zoning atBoundary Bay Airport nearthe Fisher Yard and youhave a sorry future for theland and community welove so much.
And I haven’t even com-mented on the moral issueof protecting the mostimportant birding area inCanada.
But then, as long as Delta(or as the premier callsus, the “face of Canada toAsia”) paves the way to T2and the ITZ with the CCIP,the DPIY, the DTRRIPand the SFPR, we willhave done our job for theCanadian economy.
Opinion
Industrial triangle nowtaking shape near portSorry future in store for community we love so much

The picture on my driv-er’s licence is not the loveli-est ever snapped. I look,well, either unhappy ormad. One would think I’vejust been laid off or told myworkplace has been movedto the Arctic.
The passport shot is justthe same. I do not lookhappy. I do not even lookflat. I look like someonewho is about to break intoyour house, snatch thechicken out of your slowcooker and shoo yourindoor cat out into the rain.
Not that I’m being vain.After all, it isn’t as thoughI’m thinking about duplicat-ing my government-issuedphotos and enclosing themin my Christmas cards.
I just don’t know whythey can’t be, well, a tadmore flattering.
Let’s just say — theyain’t.
Whenever I go to have agovernment-issued photo
taken, the person behind thecounter always has the sameinstructions. Glasses off, heor she will say. Don’t smile.Don’t go to your happyplace. In fact, don’t exhibitexpression of any kind.
What they are really say-ing is this: “Listen, sweet-heart, we want you to looklike you might look in apolice line-up. Let’s havefun with this! Let’s see howmuch we can make youlook like you don’t look atall!”
This, I don’t get. Seemsto me the folks at the MotorVehicle Branch or PassportCanada should be moreinclined to, well, capture abit of personality, which,like most people, is some-thing I happen to possess.
If they really wantedto take a shot of me thatreflects who I am, theymight not only ask me tosmile and wear my glasses;they might also ask me tobring a prop that speaksto my passions. An apron,say. A laptop. A badmintonracket. Perhaps a map ofFrance, which is a countryI’d very much like to visitsometime before my currentpassport expires.
Seems to me this wouldalso be useful to theauthorities, were they everinclined to stop me forspeeding. (Something, Imust point out, that I’venever been guilty of.)
“Can I see your driver’slicence, ma’am?” the offi-cer would inquire.
The officer would informme that I’d been clockedtravelling 10 kilometresabove the speed limit, thenglance at my licence, andconfirm who I am.
“OK,” he or she wouldsay. “I see you live in Delta,and that you have a Class 5licence. Also see that youhave a special fondness for— now, is that badminton?”
The point, of course, isthat people with passportsor driver’s licences mightthen become, well, a tadmore like people, and a lotless like automatons.
Imagine: a driver’slicence would not only saythat I know the speed limitin a school zone and theprocedure at a four-waystop.
It might also say that Ilike to visit a happy place— and that my happy placeis France.

Notice of Revitalization Tax ExemptionProgram Bylaw(Pursuant to Community Charter Section 227)
TAKE NOTICE THAT The Corporation of Delta (“Delta”) intends to adopt ‘DeltaDLC Landfill Site Economic Investment Zone and Revitalization Tax ExemptionProgram Bylaw No. 6985’. This bylaw offers municipal property tax exemptionsto eligible DLC (demolition, land-clearing and construction waste) landfillproperties, as shown on the attached Schedule “A” map.
The revitalization tax exemption program is intended to promote the closureand redevelopment of DLC landfill sites to achieve environmental andeconomic benefits. The municipal property tax exemption will act as a financialincentive to help offset the costs associated with landfill closure and long-term environmental monitoring, and help promote subsequent commercial orindustrial land-uses.
The tax exemption program is available for a maximum period of nine years andthe amount of tax exemption will be determined as follows:
For the first through fifth years of the tax exemption inclusive, the amount bywhich the municipal property tax for the eligible parcel exceeds the level ofmunicipal property tax payable in the year before the commencement of thelandfill closure or development project (the base year property tax level).
• For the sixth year of the tax exemption, 80 percent of the difference betweenthe base year property tax level for the eligible parcel and the amount ofmunicipal property tax that would be payable in that year if there were noexemption.
• For the seventh year of the tax exemption, 60 percent of the differencebetween the base year property tax level for the eligible parcel and theamount of municipal property tax that would be payable in that year if therewere no exemption.
• For the eighth year of the tax exemption, 40 percent of the differencebetween the base year property tax level for the eligible parcel and theamount of municipal property tax that would be payable in that year if therewere no exemption.
• For the ninth year of the tax exemption, 20 percent of the difference betweenthe base year property tax level for the eligible parcel and the amount ofmunicipal property tax that would be payable in that year if there were noexemption.
An estimate of the property taxes that would be imposed on a sample parcel ofthe eligible properties if it was not exempt is:
2012: $26,1872013: $26,9722014: $27,781
THIS NOTICE IS FOR THE PURPOSES OF PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ONLY. IT ISNOT A TENDER CALL OR AN INVITATION TO SUBMIT AN OFFER.
Copies of the relevant documents may be inspected at the Municipal Hall. Anyinquiries should be made to the Director of Human Resources & CorporatePlanning, at 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, Monday through Friday(except statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., priorto October 31, 2011.

PW Trenchless Construction Inc.11618 - 130 St., Surrey BC • 604-580-0446www.pwtrenchless.com
Reduce your carbon footprint by 70%Each km of open-cut sewer trenchproduces more than1,000 truckloads of material.
PW TrenchlessYour No-Dig Specialists
Trenchless construction–a revolutionary conceptin laying underground wire and piping–is not onlyhelping to reduce the monetary costs associatedwith underground construction, it is also making ahuge impact on the ability to reduce costly damageto the environment.
“Trenchless procedures are more environmentallyfriendly because they can reduce dust, pollution,and noise, and make installations through wetlandsand other environmentally-sensitive areas far lessdisruptive,” says David O’Sullivan, Owner,P.W. Trenchless Construction Ltd.
By minimizing the amount of excavation requiredto bury pipe and cable, trenchless constructionreduces damage to land and road surfaces,including the costs to restore them, causes lessdisruption of traffic and other activities on andaround job sites, and allows for installations in areaswhere excavation is impractical or impossible.
“The various methods of construction usingtrenchless procedures mean that the material fromthe ground surface down to the pipe zone is notdisturbed. This causes a major reduction in the useof energy and still we are able to install or renewthe utility with the same degree of effectiveness.”
O’Sullivan says the biggest impact trenchlessconstruction is having on the environment is
the massive reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions.
“Compared to cut-and-cover construction,trenchless procedures actually reduce CO2emissions by 78 to 90 per cent,” he said.
A University of Waterloo study concluded thatreduction associated with trenchless constructionis achieved primarily due to limiting disruption oftraffic flow and shorter duration of projects usingtrenchless methods.
O’Sullivan recommends cities and companiesmanaging installations of underground wiring andpiping check out the easy-to-use Carbon Calculatorat www.NAST-BC.org. The calculator estimates theamount of carbon that would occur during an open-cut construction project compared to one usingtrenchless procedures.
“It is quite amazing to see the difference.The trenchless technology is really making a bigdifference—both in lowering disruption to theenvironment and lowering the bottom line costs ofconstruction.”
Specializing in pipe bursting and slip lining,P.W. Trenchless Construction Inc. is one of themost experienced trenchless contractors in BritishColumbia. For more information, visit www.pwtrenchless.com.

The Sidekick PlayersClub, Delta’s longest run-ning theatre company, hasannounced a partnershipwith Delta’s newest youththeatre company, KnockoutTheatre.
Sidekick has offered itssupport for the fledglinggroup, including space forauditions this weekendfor Knockout’s upcomingproduction of Romeo andJuliet.
Knockout Theatrewas created last year byZoë Wessler and JacobWolstencroft to provideperformance opportuni-ties for youth in the LowerMainland. Its first pro-duction, Shakespeare’s AMidsummer Night’s Dream,was a huge success.
The production wasstaged in the EarthwiseGarden, but the group islooking to move indoorsfor its next show andmade the decision to doso at the newly renovatedTsawwassen Arts Centre.
While on the hunt forrehearsal space, SidekickPlayers Club offered itssponsorship with a place for
Knockout to rehearse anddevelop the skills neededfor its next production.
“Teaming up withSidekick has been an easytransition for us thanksto the support we havereceived from SidekickPlayers founder and presi-dent, Carroll Allan,” saidWolstencroft.
“Knockout Theatre is runby youth and we are morethan excited to be able toteam up with fellow theatri-cal enthusiasts to create anartistic contribution to thecommunity.”
“When I started Sidekick,having a youth group as abranch of our adult clubwas a top priority,” saidAllan, “and we staged sev-eral productions where wecast many young people,but have not been able tostart a spin-off group due toour schedules.
“Jacob was our Tin Manin Dorothy and the Wizardof Oz and is an alumniof Sidekick and we arethrilled to be able to be apart of this production byKnockout Theatre.”
Romeo and Juliet will be
performed Jan. 5 to 7.Auditions are on
Saturday, Oct. 22 from noonto 6 p.m. at the arts centre,with Knockout looking tocast eight youth (ages 14 to20). Auditions are on a firstcome, first served basis.

Dr. Jon JessimanIncreasing the municipaltaxes for upgrading publictransportation. I realizewhile the mayor didn’tvote for that issue, I thinkthey ought to press, as anoutlying area, to not have itfall equally on all of us.

A slow start spoiled one of the betterperformances of the 2011 high school foot-ball season for the South Delta Sun Devils.
The fifth ranked school fromTsawwassen surrendered a pair of earlytouchdowns and never could recover ina 27-13 loss to the third ranked Ballenas
Whalers on Saturday. The Sun Devils hadjust 20-minutes to warm-up for their con-ference opener after there was some diffi-culty locating the Parksville school.
“It basically took us out of our typical(pre-game routine) and, before we knewit, we were down two scores,” said SouthDelta head coach Ray Moon. “The firstwas a blown coverage and the other wasvery good execution on their part.
“But we did show a lot of character afterstumbling out of the block. “We playedwith good composure and it was prob-ably one of our best games of the season.Certainly, the last three quarters for sure.”
Ballenas connected on another touch-down through the air on a play that wasruled a simultaneous catch — much tothe disappointment of the Sun Devils whobelieved they had come up with a drive
killing interception. The hosts also scoredon a 59-yard touchdown run.
South Delta managed to stay withinstriking distance thanks to touchdownpasses from quarterback Kyle Menzies toMitch Dino and Nick Whitty.
The Sun Devils return home Saturdayafternoon (1:30 p.m.) to face the WinsdorDukes in another key Western Conferencebattle.

Slow start costs Sun Devils in loss to Parksville school
For at least one night theRichmond Sockeyes were pushedto the limit with the game’s out-come hanging balance until thefinal minute of play.
Don’t be surprised if it doesn’thappen again until Nov. 5.
That’s when the Sockeyes andDelta Ice Hawks meet again forround two of their season longwar and it’s a good bet the defend-ing Pacific International JuniorHockey League champions willbe bringing a perfect 13-0 recordinto that tilt.
After destroying its competitionand producing an unthinkable sixconsecutive shutouts, Richmondwas at last tested in a 5-3 win overDelta in front of over 500 fans lastThursday at Minoru Arena. Thehosts jumped out to an early 3-0lead but needed an empty net goalwith 10 seconds remaining fromcaptain Patrick Hunter to turnback an impressive Ice Hawks’comeback.
“Obvious the start to our seasonhas been fantastic and this gamegave us a good idea of what weneed to work on,” said Sockeyeshead coach Judd Lambert. “Wecertainly know what to expectagainst them. It’s no secret theyare going to try and be physicaland we have to get use to playingthat style of game.”
The problem for Lambert andthe rest of the Sockeyes is no
one has come close to provid-ing the kind of challenge the IceHawks threw at them. Perhapsthe Abbotsford Pilots are alsocapable, but the rest of the leagueappears to be miles behind andthat’s a concern with 35 regulargames still remaining betweennow and mid-February.
“We play who we play and wehave to stay focus on what weare doing,” continued Lambert.“I don’t know what the answer isbut for sure we would like to seethe league more competitive. Itdoesn’t do us or Delta any goodwinning games by six or sevengoals all season.”
The Sockeyes looked to beon their way to another lop-sided win after first periodgoals by Matthew Wagner, RudiThorsteinson and Hunter openedup a comfortable lead. AaronMerrick finally broke Richmond’sshutout streak with a power playtally but Justin Rai’s secondperiod tally restored a three-goalcushion and chased Ice Hawksstarting goalie Doug Birks.
The visitors settled down andbattled their way back into strik-ing distance. Captain Cody Smithscored just 17 seconds after Rai’stally, then pulled his team withina goal when he converted a nicefeed from Spencer Traher, sevenminutes into the third period. TheIce Hawks came close to equal-izing, including a Traher blast hit-ting the base of the goal post.
“I thought we came out slug-
gish for the first 10 minutes thenmade some adjustments thatallowed us to really take controlat times,” said Ice Hawks assistantcoach Bayne Koen. “You are bit-ter with the result but happy withthe effort.
“All eyes in the league wereon this game tonight. Richmondcame out prepared and give themcredit. We at least have somethings to build on.”
The loss snapped the IceHawks’ six game win streak but
they too should be feasting ontheir opponents before seeing theSockeyes again.
“I saw the same thing (in theB.C. Hockey League) when I wascoaching in Prince George,” saidKoen of the disparity. “The bigthing is recruitment and whereguys want to go. These are thetwo organizations that (players)have their mind set on and theywant to play.”
For the Sockeyes, Lambert washappy his young players got to,
at last see, the real challenges ofjunior “B” hockey.
“We talked about (what toexpect) before the game but talkis cheap and you don’t really get afull picture until you get out thereand see how big and aggressivethey are.
“We were good at times andother times ineffective. It justwasn’t our young guys too. Wejust hadn’t played a team yet withthat kind of size, aggressivenessand the skill that they have.”
