Tsawwassen artist takes one-woman show to China!

Tsawwassen artist Jacqueline Dunn is in China this week for a solo show. A Chinese art dealer was so taken by the work of the retired high school art teacher that he commissioned 40 paintings thatare now on display in the city of Tianjin. See story on Page 17.

The discovery this week of aship lost in the 1800s is beinghailed as an incredible achieve-ment by a local authorOn Tuesday, Prime Minister

Stephen Harper announced thediscovery of one of the shipsbelonging to the ill-fated FranklinExpedition. Royal Navy captainSir John Franklins expeditionto find the Northwest Passage,which included two large ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror

and 130 men, set sail fromEngland in 1845 bound for theArctic.The vessels were last seen off

the west coast of Greenland whenthey met two whaling ships beforecontinuing west into the ice ofLancaster Sound. They were neverseen again.Expeditions have been looking

for those ships since 1846, 1847so its an incredible achievement,said local author and former expe-dition organizer Anthony Dalton,who lives in Tsawwassen.Dalton, who has written 14

non-fiction books, five relatedto the Artic and one specificallyabout Sir John Franklin and theill-fated mission, said he let out ayelp of excitement when he heardTuesdays announcement.Its great for Canadian histo-

ry, he said. Its great for Britishhistory.

He said what actuallyhappened to the two shipshas remained a mysteryover the years.It was obviously trapped

in ice ... we know that fromnotes left behind, Daltonsaid.

It will be wonderfulonce they actually get onthose ships.The Victoria Strait

Expedition, using a remote-ly operated underwatervehicle recently acquiredby Parks Canada, found the

ship largely intact. Whilethere is enough evidenceto confirm it is one ofFranklins missing ships,there is not yet enoughinformation to identify if itis Erebus or Terror.Our government has

been deeply committed tofinding HMS Erebus andHMS Terror, which were

Canadas only undiscoverednational historical site.Since 2008, there have beensix major Parks Canada-led searches for the lostFranklin Expedition ships,painstakingly coveringmany hundreds of squarekilometres of the Arcticseabed, Harper said.The discovery, however,

is just the beginning.Finding the first vessel

will no doubt provide themomentum or wind inour sails necessary tolocate its sister ship andfind out even more aboutwhat happened to theFranklin Expeditions crew,the prime minister said thisweek.

The tone was clearlyless hostile but concernand skepticism were stillconveyed over the latestproposal for a multi-fam-ily development in LadnerVillage.Roughly 80 people

attended a public infor-mation meeting at theLadner Community CentreWednesday evening tolearn more about a revisedplan for a site at the cornerof 47A Avenue and 48BStreet.The original proposal

called for a five-storeycondo building, which drewa heated response from thepublic at a meeting in July.The mood was less intensethis week when the newplan was discussed.The scaled-back pro-

posal is for 23 three-storeytownhouses. According toDeltas planning depart-ment, the proposed densityand height are consistentwith the Ladner Area Plan.The Skov family, who

were present at both meet-ings, consolidated fourproperties at the site inan effort to construct aresidential complex that isbeing called Village Walk.Architect Peter Dandyk

explained the completeredesign to the audience.We think the new scale

and design of the buildingis contextually appropriate.Weve taken on a little bitmore of an historical char-acter to try and fit better

with the Ladner town centreand I think its even moreresponsive than the otherscheme would have been,he said.The height of the com-

plex would reach 43 feet(13 metres), which is closeto three other recent devel-opments in Ladner that hadheights ranging between 12and 12.5 metres.However, several audi-

ence members questionedDandyk and civic planningstaff on hand on the need to

build to such a height, say-ing its still out of characterwith the community. Notingthe maximum height ismerely the very top of thepitched roof, Dandyk saidthe design has sensitivemassing in that the roofslopes away from the streetSeveral others com-

plained the project didnthave enough visitor park-ing. When asked if thenumber of units couldbe scaled back to createadditional on-site parking

to meet the bylaw require-ments, Dandyk said elimi-nating more units wouldeffectively destroy theeconomic viability of theproject.Others questioned the

density, tree removal andother aspects of the plan,saying its an improvementover the previous proposalbut still seems out of char-acter with Ladner Village.Dandyk responded that aconsiderable amount ofeffort has gone into design-

ing what would be anattractive project.He added the area

plan identifies logicalplaces where densitycould be increased andthat the site is one ofthem.He also said the

previous higher densitycondo plan would havehad mostly seniors,but the new townhouseplan will likely beoccupied mostly byfamilies, which in itselfis fine because thistype of developmentwill rejuvenate thecommunity and bringa lot of young bloodinto it.Rolly Skov was plan-

ning to live in one ofthe condo units in theoriginal proposal, butdue to mobility chal-lenges he wont residein the proposed town-house complex. Oneaudience member saidshe actually favourscondos over townhomesdue to better affordabil-ity as well as providing

housing for seniors withmobility issues.After the meeting, Skov

told the Optimist the moodwas much better than thefirst meeting and that theywere there to listen to whatpeople had to say.Municipal staff members,

who gathered comments atthe meeting, will forwardthe proposal to various civicadvisory committees beforeit makes its way to Deltacouncil for consideration.

The group fighting aplan to erect radio towers inPoint Roberts is asking con-cerned residents to attenda town hall meeting nextweek to learn more aboutwhats been happening andhow they can help.The meeting will have

several guest speakersprovide the latest informa-tion on the application byBBC Broadcasting Inc. toconstruct five 45-metre(150-foot) steel towerson an undeveloped lot onMcKenzie Way just southof the border.

nized by the Cross BorderCoalition to Stop the RadioTowers, will be held onWednesday, Sept. 17 at 7p.m. at Tsawwassen UnitedChurch, 693-53rd St.Many residents in

Tsawwassen and PointRoberts have been fightingthe proposal due to con-cerns over blanketing inter-ference that would causehavoc with household elec-tronic devices. The stationcurrently broadcasts usingantenna in Ferndale, Wash.,

but wants to move themcloser and have a stronger50,000-watt, all-day signal.The Federal

Communications

Commission in the U.S.has granted a constructionpermit but a conditional usepermit is still required fromWhatcom County, which

will hold a public hear-ing on the issue late nextmonth.Next weeks town hall

meeting will discuss thelikely day for public com-ments at the hearing andhow to coordinate speak-ers from both sides of theborder to best advance theircase.The hearing is sched-

uled to start Oct. 27 andcould last up to five days.Opponents are gatheringexpert witnesses and havelegal representation, butare looking to raise another$35,000 to fund their case.Dozens of local mer-

chants have helped thecause by placing donationjars in their businessesas well as petition sheetsthat will be forwarded tothe House of Commons.Merchants have alsodonated many gift cards andgoods that will be avail-able for purchase at nextWednesdays meeting.The coalition is also

holding a benefit concerthosted by the Cottages atSeabright Farms in PointRoberts. The event, whichwill feature live music, abarbecue and silent auc-tion, will take place Sunday,Sept. 21 from 1 to 5 p.m.For more information,

Surrey Provincial CourtTuesday afternoon, Paulsenhad her case adjourneduntil Oct. 17.Initially reported sto-

len from her truck whileparked at a Langley parkin May, it later came outthat the canines Buddy,a Boston terrier, Mia, a pitbull, Oscar, a Rottweiler-husky mix, Molly, a blueheeler-shepherd cross,Teemo, a Bouvier poodlecross, and Salty, the dog

The Delta school boardhas written a letter to theminister of education inan effort to getthings moving inthe stalled contractdispute betweengovernment andteachers.The board met

this week to dis-cuss the ongoingteachers strikeand agreed to havechair Laura Dixonsend a letter on behalf ofthe board stating Deltatrustees continue to urgeboth parties in the disputeto remove any further obsta-cles to achieving a deal andto act to immediately returnstudents to their schools.Dixon noted they support

any process that both par-ties can agree to that willbreak the impasse.The strike began in June,

disrupting the end of thelast school year and hasdragged throughout thesummer. Its now into thefirst two weeks of the new

school year with no sign ofending.Teachers voted over-

whelmingly this week toreturn to work if the gov-ernment agreed to arbitra-

tion. EducationMinister PeterFassbender, whorejected theB.C. TeachersFederation call forbinding arbitration,called upon teach-ers to suspend thestrike.In an interview

this week, Dixonexpressed frustration overschool districts being lefton the sidelines during thebitter dispute.Delta Teachers

Association president PaulSteer recently said the gov-ernment seems intent onmaking the union drop itscourt victory on class sizeand composition.Dixons full letter to par-

ents and to the minister canbe viewed on the Optimistwebsite (www.delta-opti-mist.com) as well as thedistrict website (http://web.deltasd.bc.ca/).

Impressiverun has onemore term

TEDMURPHY

MURPHYSLAW

It looks like shes willing to settle forbeing No. 2.Mayor Lois Jacksons announcement

Monday that she would seek a sixth termthis November didnt come as much ofa surprise to anyone who keeps tabs onmunicipal hall. Although she was reluc-tant to confirm it any earlier than she did,all signs, including campaign fundraisinghaving already begun in earnest, pointedto yet another re-election bid.The bigger question was how much

longer the veteran politician, who hasbeen on Delta council almost continu-ously since the early 1970s, would con-tinue to occupy the mayors chair. Sheanswered that one on Monday as well bydeclaring the upcoming term, providedshes re-elected, will be her last.Her history of fending off challengers,

coupled with a dearth of opponents thistime around, suggests theres no reason tothink voters wont return her two monthsfrom now. If thats the case, shell con-tinue her climb up Deltas record book.During the current term, Jackson

passed William Henry Ladner to moveinto third spot on the list of longest-tenured Delta mayors. Ladner, who wasDeltas first reeve back in 1880, servedon six different occasions for a total of14 years.When Jackson completes this term,

she will have served for 15 years, whichwill equal the run of John Kirkland, whopresided over Delta in the 1940s and50s. Should she get re-elected and finishout the next term, which will be a four-year one, it would bring her time in themunicipalitys top job to 19 years, whichwould put her in second place by herself,but still well short of the record held byAlex Paterson.Those who marvel, and for good rea-

son, at Jacksons longevity will surelybe in awe of Paterson, who was Deltasreeve (the English term was used until1969 when it was replaced by mayor) fora whopping 27 years.He was at the helm from 1914 to 1944,

with the exception of a three-year stretchin the early 20s.Jackson, who has already made history

by becoming the first woman electedto Delta council in 1972, will have tosettle for second spot on the mayors list,assuming, of course, she doesnt re-con-sider the decision about it being her finalterm and seeks a mandate beyond 2018.That seems unlikely at this point,

but if there were ever going to be awestern version of Hazel McCallion,the 90-something mayor who has ruledMississauga for the better part of fourdecades, Jackson would have to be aleading candidate.

The labour strife between theprovincial government and publicschool teachers is like no other.This impasse affects thousands ofteachers, hundreds of thousandsof students awaiting educationalopportunity already paid for, andmultitudes of apprehensive and dis-satisfied parents.No one side will win this stale-

mate. Both sides think theyre rightand theyre in it for the long haul.The Ministry of Education mustbelieve a lengthy strike will havesuch long-term effect on the BCTFmembership to resolve futurecontract issues at the bargainingtable, rather than again risk loss ofemployment and financial hard-ship. The BCTF naively thinks ithas the will of the voters alongwith a united membership.This is not a typical union/

employer dispute of blocked accessto company property and hostileemployees with placards disruptingbusiness. Why then do profession-als engage in such lame and inap-propriate practices?Rhetorically speaking, why do

teachers in public schools requirestrike action and denial of servicesduring contract negotiations? Whydo other unions and professionalssuccessfully resolve their contractissues? The underlying answer isthe high cost of delivering a ser-vice, which has been determined tobe an essential service.Those at the bargaining table

should resign if theyre incompe-tent (which I dont believe to be thecase) or their mandate as instructedis unachievable (which I believe tobe true).We are told the B.C. government

is holding out for a negotiatedcontract. Thirty years of historysays the likelihood of that happen-ing is extremely remote. Historyalso tells us he/she with the mostmoney usually wins the financialcontest.The frustrating point of this

impasse is that settlement is inevi-table. Several months have passedand both parties appear no closer

on any of the important issues.Vince Ready at one point stoppedboth sides from airing their propa-ganda through the press. Both sidesare back to that tactic and Readyhas booked out of the dispute.Simple folk like myself say

enough is enough. The provincialgovernment has all the tools toend the strike/lockout. The LabourRelations Board can order a two-week cooling off period and bringthe teachers back to the classroomas an essential service and thenimpose a settlement through bind-ing or non-binding arbitration, withthe latter of significant value toboth sides.It saddens me to see profession-

als awkwardly standing aroundwearing silly placards and politi-cians lamely talking about negoti-ated peace when it simply will nothappen. Or will not happen soonenough without irreparable damageto this years education system.Choices have to be made and

decisive action taken. Both sidesneed this dispute resolved andteachers really want to practicetheir craft and educate our children.Anything less is unacceptable.And a good night to you, Vicki,

Morgan and Haley.

Settlement is inevitable, solets not waste more time

Letters to the Editor

Editor:In just over six weeks the

Whatcom County hearingon KRPIs proposed five-tower antenna array in PointRoberts will take place inBellingham.The Cross-Border

Coalition to Fight theTowers has hired the bestlawyers in the county torepresent our communitiesand stop this project.The proposed radio tow-

ers will not benefit our

community in any way,shape or form. Zero ben-efits, but lots of negatives.I knew AM antennas

were the bad boys ofradio antennas but evenafter reading engineeringreports extensively for thepast 10 months, I wasntcatching on to the mainproblem. I was picturingthe 50,000 watts of electro-magnetic radiation (EMR)coming from the tops ofantennas with somehow bits

of it filtering downward andinvading our homes, busi-nesses and our electronicswith harmful blanketinginterference.What I didnt realize is

that with AM antennas,the signal comes out of theentire height of the antenna.On top of that, AM radio

waves love to travel alongthe ground as they moveoutwards, going throughhouses, trees, people, ourphones (landlines, portable

and cell), computers, TVs,all of our speakers, MP3players and more.KRPI says they will

remediate problems, butall of the items listed aboveare specifically excludedby the FCC and will not beserviced by KRPI. Thatsbecause they cant be fixed.Now it is clear why

property values go downin communities near AMantennas. Radio antennasare meant to be sited on

farmland, or on mountains,far away from homes andpeople.We must raise another

$25,000 in the next sixweeks so we can financethe defence of our homesand families. We havean excellent case that webelieve our legal team willwin. Credentialed experts inengineering, site lines andbirds are also necessary.Please help us beat KRPI

and donate today by send-

ing a cheque to PRTA/FTT,239-55th St., Delta, B.C.,V4M 3J4, or go to http://notowers.webs.com to use acredit card or PayPal.Please step up and be

generous. Every little bitcounts but if you have beenblessed with more, pleasedonate more. How dumbwould it be to get stuckwith these harmful anten-nas forever when we have awinning case?

Armene Belless

Funding needed to fight proposed radio towers

Editor:There has been a lot of

discussion regarding theneed for proper funding forclass size and composition,English Language and spe-cial needs students in theongoing teachers strike.However, I would also

like to address the needsof academic students whoare also losing out becausethis Liberal governmentis refusing to negotiate ingood faith, has ignored twocourt rulings, has turneddown arbitration and hasbrought no creative ideas tothe table to help mediate asolution to this serious cri-sis in public education.How can this government

blindly ignore the needs ofour academic Grade 12 stu-dents? These students willbe competing for seats atuniversities across Canada,the U.S. and possibly inter-nationally and yet thesestudents will have missedout on important end ofthe year Grade 11 curricu-lum and will now be weeksbehind with difficult Grade

12 coursework.These students of today

will be our future doctors,health care workers, engi-neers, computer techies,teachers and business pro-fessionals.For the government to

say it doesnt have moneyto support public educationis far from the truth.Perhaps to meet a bal-

anced budget, the Liberalsare now stealing from ourchildrens public educa-tion and are robbing ourchildren of the ability tocompete against their peersacademically in other partsof Canada and the world.Would someone please

explain to me how theLiberal government can stillclaim Families First withthe highest child povertyrate, children attendingSDSS with massive powerlines running overhead andnow no school for weeksfor all public school chil-dren in B.C.?

Editor:Why is B.C. Teachers

Federation president JimIker urging teachers, whodont get paid while onstrike, to continue jobaction? Its easy for Iker todo so since he most likelyis getting paid his six-figuresalary regardless.

Unions are supposedto stand for fairness andequality, so Iker shouldshare his high pay withstriking teachers and jointhem on the picket line.I guess when it comes tohis own pocket, this unionpreaching does not apply.

through a screening processto determine which team

he might start by addressinga specific injury and thenprescribe exercises, whichKjemhus will then demon-strate the proper form.Through his prehabilita-

tion program, Kjemhus canprescribe specific move-ments and exercises to helpcorrect muscle and jointimbalances to improvestrength and mobility.Johnson, a registered

MGail stopped by the office this

morning to say hello and to catchup with whats happening in the par-ish. Before you know it, she had hertablet out and was showing pic-tures of her two young grandchildrenswinging from the monkey bars andswooshing down a park slide.It seems easy for me to see the

presence of God in these shiningbright faces. I rejoice in the simpleways in which love is displayed just playing on the teeter-tottertogether. The more difficult expres-sion of Gods compassion and lovecomes from trying to seek Godspresence in the midst of anxiety andanger.The other day we were reading

from Exodus the story of Moses andthe people of Israel running away

from their slave captors in Egypt.Just as they think they can see a clearpath ahead, they run into the shore ofa great sea. They are in trouble, butGod is with them.Raise your hand, God tells

Moses, and the sea will part andyou will walk through on dry land.And thats what he did. The peoplewere free from their enemy.There were often new enemies

along their path, but they wenttogether following Gods lead.Whenever two or three are gath-

ered, Jesus said, I will be withyou. God promises to be with us onour lifes journey too. Whether weexperience the joy of loving family,or times of anxiety and stress, justraise your hand to God and step outin faith.

year when a Chinese art dealerapproached her. Dunn says shethought the man and his wifewere just interested in buyingsome of her paintings. However,the man approached her aboutcommissioning 40 paintings for asolo show in China.Dunn agreed and has been

working on the paintings sinceMarch.While she typically paints

mostly landscapes, forestscapesand gardens, the man asked herto incorporate images of Tianjins

buildings and bridges into someof the works.He has traveled to Tsawwassen

several times since March to pickup the paintings. Dunn took thelast few with her as she flew toChina for the show, which willconsist of 20 pieces showcasingthe bridges and architecture ofTianjin and another 20 depictingthe landscape and architecture ofB.C.The project has forced Dunn,

who works mostly in oil andacrylic, to expand her horizons.

She learned how to write someChinese characters and incorpo-rated more colour into her work.Dunn will spend eight days in

China.In addition to the art show,

the trip will include a visit to theancient city of Xi-An, the GreatWall and a Chinese opera.Dunn says she hopes her story

will encourage and inspire otherartists who feel they are strug-gling.Whatever it is that lights your

soul on fire, you do it, she says.

Learning the three Rs on the road

At this stage of ourlives, my husbandBrent and I seem tobe re-learning the three Rs.No, thank heavens its

not reading, writing andarithmetic. With our rovinghome in tow, its all aboutRVing, recreating and relax-ing.B.C. is home to over

1,500 campgrounds andduring this trip we discoverthat the arid Okanagan isthe perfect place to buffup on these basics. Dozensof sites dot the sagebrushhills and tranquil lakeshoresand at Camping and RVingBC Coalition, we have alist of choices, photos andcampground information atour fingertips, ranging fromnational and provincialparks to properties that areprivately operated.Lets take a camping trip

down memory lane, Brentsuggests, when panning theoptions. Lake OkanaganProvincial Park was a fam-ily favourite when I wasgrowing up.After checking this link,

its easy to see why. The98-hectare oasis, rimmedby a swim-safe beach, isnestled into a grove ofpine. Its divided into twocampgrounds the South,where sites snuggle togetheron a lakeshore jetty, andthe North, with lake-view-ing spots that terrace the

hillside. Although there areno electrical or water hook-ups for our RV, there are hotshowers and flush toilets.And the sites are spaciousenough for our 28-foot fifthwheel.With a quick click to

www.discovercamping.ca, our reservation is madeand less than a monthlater were living our LakeOkanagan dream.This is the life, Brent

says from a lazy lounger.Although seeking solace iscertainly part of our learn-ing goal, theres an abun-dance of activity just stepsfrom our RV door. Water-

skiers and windsurfers joinswimmers and fishing folk.And theres also plenty ofactivity for all of us land-lovers.The two campgrounds

are linked by an interpre-tive trail and along the waywe check out regional floraand fauna. Columbia andChocolate lily, flourish-ing next to wildflowers,are canopied by statelyPonderosa pine. Groundsquirrels scurry beneath theprolific ground cover andmeadowlarks, flickers andquail take flight above.And then there are the

squigglers. As I read about

the harmless gopher snakesmy feet go into river-dancemode. Dont fret, Brentreassures. Theyre moreafraid of you. Even thoughI find this hard to believe, itdoesnt stop me from trek-king on.The nearby city of

Summerland offers a net-work of recreational path-ways, some that also lurethose on bicycle and horse-back. You can step back intime while checking outCentennial Trail, a 4.5-kilo-metre loop that intersectswith the original townshipand snakes through desertgrasses. Theres that S

word again. Yes, watch outfor the rattlers too.Bird lovers will be drawn

to the six-kilometre RotaryRoute when detouring tothe Adams Bird Sanctuary.On our second day, we

stroll through SummerlandsOrnamental Gardens, ahorticulturists delight thatslocated high above Highway97. Spanning its border-ing gorge is Trout CreekRailway Bridge, a trestle ofmetal that hangs 73 metersabove the canyon floor.On this remaining sec-

tion of preserved track,the Kettle Valley SteamRailway, a 1912 fully-

restored locomotive, sharesthe scenic sites of todaywith rail travel from abygone era. Its a 90-minutejourney that appeases kidsof all ages.There are plenty of other

pastimes in this Okanaganplayground thatll bring outyour inner child.Check out Peachlands

eight-sided museum, driftthe river channel to SkahaLake on a Coyote Cruiseinner tube ride or boostyour adrenaline with one ofthe exhilarating options atPentictons LocoLanding.We opt for the

Summerland Golf andCountry Club, an 18-holebeauty on Paradise Flatswhere manicured fairwaysare backed by OkanaganValley and Trout CreekCanyon views as well ascraggy outcroppings. I losemy first ball in a grove ofpine that fringes the thirdtee, the second drownsin the pond on No. 5 andthe third finds habitationbeyond the dogleg on No.18.I know Ill never be a

pro, but it doesnt mat-ter. And with this in mindI think of the past threeglorious days of RVing,recreating and relaxing andadd one more R to the list rejuvenation.

In a perfect world, Derek Chichak would haveanother three weeks before worrying about theregular season.The extra time would not only help with

his final roster decisions but put the Delta IceHawks back in the comforts of the LadnerLeisure Centre.Instead, the Hawks opened the 2014-15 cam-

paign in the building of their old rival, falling 5-3 to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Tuesdaynight. The team will play two more games atNorth Deltas Sungod Arena before returning toa renovated and repaired Ladner Arena in time tohost the Grandview Steelers on Sept. 23.It would be ideal if we matched things up

with the Western and B.C. Hockey Leagues,said Chichak. This league wants to start earlierto get in the number of games they want beforethe playoffs. Its going to be a while before wehave a really good idea what our (final) roster isgoing to look like.I cant even tell you how much we are look-

ing forward to going (back to Ladner). We havehad games all over the place and been practis-ing in Richmond. We have basically felt likenomads.The longtime Seafair Minor Hockey mentor

took over the head coaching reigns last January

and guided the Hawks to a third place finish anda six game opening round playoff loss to NorthVancouver.Two potential key returnees have focused on

their post-secondary education leading scorerTanner Gattinger (University of Saskatchewan)and goalie Scott Lapp (UBC Okanagan).Chichak does have a couple of impact 20-

year-old veterans to lean on blueliner DavidRudin, who will serve as team captain, andBrent Chreptyk, who was named the leaguesmost improved player. He had a pair of goals inthe season opener.Gritty two-way forwards Spencer Schoen,

Evan Grannary and Mark Trotman have alsoreturned, while Brandon Gaunt, Colby Rosnerand Ryan Lisowsky will join Rudin at the back.The Hawks biggest shortcoming a year ago

was a lack of consistent firepower. They hadenjoyed an impressive run as one of the leaguespowerhouse teams thanks to an explosive line-upthat produced the league scoring champion forthree straight seasons.During Deltas championship season in 2012,

its roster featured four of the leagues top ninescorers. Last year, Gattinger was the only Hawkto crack the top 20 and he was 16th.The clubs offence could receive a huge boost

should Colton Kroeker and Colin Granneryeventually end up back home.The 17-year-olds led the Delta Hockey

Academys Elite team in scoring last seasonand Kroeker was outstanding as a call-up dur-ing last years playoffs, managing 10 points infour games. He is currently trying to make thejump to the Western Hockey League with theRegina Pats while Grannery, who had five goalsin eight games as an AP last season, is hopingto earn a roster spot with Merritt of the B.C.Hockey League. A third potential impact rookie defenceman Brandon Kennedy is in theLethbridge Hurricanes camp.In the meantime, Chichak will be counting on

other rookies for the Hawks to challenge defend-ing conference champion Richmond Sockeyes,including 17-year-old Delta Academy alumniJake Fletcher (forward) and Greg Scott (defence-man).In net, the workload will fall on rookies Jacob

Letrace and Jeremy Tamelin. Letrace looked ter-rific as a call-up last season, stopping 70 of 72shots in a pair of wins.We have left a couple of spots open for kids

potentially returning back, added Chichak.My expectations have always been and there

is no room for mediocrity. Ive had a chance tosit down and talk to these kids and find out moreabout who they are as players and individualswhich is a big part of the game. too. I really likethe guys we got.The Hawks travel to Abbotsford tonight before

Richmond next Tuesday at Sungod (8 p.m.).
