Message from Mayor Jackson
and Delta Council
Fire Hazard Advisory
Due to the prolonged hot and dry weather
conditions, which are forecast to continue, the
Corporation of Delta is taking precautionary
measures to minimize the risk of fires in municipal
parks and wilderness areas.
Fire danger rating
The fire danger rating for the Municipality of Delta is
EXTREME.
Burns Bog continues to be permanently closed to
the public.
Prohibition of open air burning and smoking
in Delta parks
An open burning ban is in effect for all areas of Delta
including a ban on campfires and open cooking
(briquette & propane BBQs) in all Delta parks until
further notice. In addition, smoking is prohibited in
Delta parks.
Delta staff will continue to patrol parks, beaches
and Burns Bog access points to ensure there are no
unauthorized activities taking place.
We need your help
The public is urged to exercise caution and remain
on designated park trails to reduce the risk of
accidental fires. Please report any fires directly to
911 and any unauthorized activity that poses a risk
of fire to the Delta Police Department’s 24/7 non-
emergency line at (604) 946-4411.
We want to hear from you
Please forward any questions or comments to the Chief Administrative
Officer, George V. Harvie at cao@corp.delta.bc.ca or by mail to:
The Corporation of Delta, 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, BC V4K 3E2
Secondary Suites
What is a secondary suite?
A secondary suite is an additional dwelling unit area located within
a single family dwelling. At the July 26, 2010 Regular meeting, Delta
Council adopted Bylaws to allow single secondary suites in single
family dwellings in Delta. For a secondary suite to be legal, it must be
inspected and upgraded, if required, to ensure compliance with the BC
Building Code.
What if I have an existing secondary suite?
Property owners are encouraged to legalize their suite by first
contacting the secondary suite hotline at (604) 952-3159 or by email at
suites@corp.delta.bc.ca to request an inspection. Homeowners who do
not legalize their secondary suite will be required to remove the suite
and may also be subject to daily fines after December 31, 2010.
All secondary suites need to be registered with the Corporation of
Delta Community Update
Delta, and owners will be required to pay additional annual utility fees.
Free inspections available!
To encourage property owners to legalize their suite, Delta is
implementing a program to waive the costs of the first two building
inspections (first inspection and re-inspection of an existing secondary
suite) until January 31, 2012. This represents a savings of approximately
$250 for homeowners.
How can I get more information?
For general questions and comments, information about how to
legalize an existing suite or schedule an inspection contact:
Secondary Suite Hotline (604) 952-3159
E-mail: suites@corp.delta.bc.ca

Berner sat motionless in her seat
Tuesday morning as Surrey Provin-
cial Court Judge Peder Gulbransen declared
her guilty as charged in the May 2008 death
of four-year-old Alexa Middelaer in Delta.
Judge Gulbransen convicted Berner on two
counts of dangerous driving causing death
and bodily harm, and two counts of impaired
driving causing death and bodily harm.
Gulbransen said the evidence presented
during the trial shows that Berner was driving
well over the speed limit and while her blood
alcohol level may not have been over the
legal limit, she was nonetheless impaired.
"There is no other rational conclusion,"
Gulbransen said.
He said tests prove Berner was doing 91
km/h in a 50 km/h zone in a Ladner residen-
tial area when she hit some speed bumps,
lost control and crashed into Alexa and her
aunt Daphne Middelaer, who were stand-
ing on the side of road to feed a horse.
Alexa did not survive.
Her aunt required 13 hours of surgery for
multiple fractures and a closed head injury.
Alexa's grandparents' vehicle was also hit,
but they escaped serious injury.
"Travelling at this speed is not a minor
lapse of attention," Judge Gulbransen
noted. "She [Berner] drove over them [the
speed bumps} as if they were not there."
failure as a result of a flaw in the design of the
steering column that resulted in a nation-
wide recall of that make and model of car.
Tests on the vehicle and skid marks at the
scene show there was no failure of steering,
Gulbransen said.
He added Berner's failure to slow down
on a street that she was familiar with sup-
ports the prosecution claim that she was
impaired.
Berner failed a roadside blood alcohol
test, but passed when she was later tested
again at Delta Police Department (DPD)
headquarters.
Delta Police conducted an undercover
investigation, with offers posing as poten-
tial new friends to get her to discuss the
crash while a concealed video camera
recorded her saying she was drinking wine
before the crash.
The judge said that a person does not
need to be over the legal limit to be con-
victed of driving while impaired.
Alexa's parent expressed relief following
the conviction.
Father Michael Middelaer said he felt a
"sense of validation" at the ruling.
"It was a great day for British Columbia,"
he said, "because I think as a result of this
decision, what happened to our family will
probably happen less often."
Mother Laurel Middelaer called the ver-
Berner will be sentenced on Nov. 8.
Her lawyer, David Tarnow, said he will
argue against jail time.
"She has no criminal record, she barely
has any tickets", Tarnow said.
"Ms. Berner is quite upset by the out-
come," he told reporters.
Berner never testified during her trial and
never spoke to reporters outside court.
"She always has expressed remorse at
what happened," Tarnow said.
An appeal is possible, he said, but no
decision will made until after the sentence
is imposed.
Crown prosecutor Winston Sayson
arranged a court-ordered psychological
assessment before Berner is sentenced, to
examine her claim that she suffers from an
anxiety disorder that may have contributed
to the crash.
"Today's not a cause for celebration or
happiness," Sayson told reporters. "Noth-
ing we have done has brought Alexa back
to her family."
DPD spokesperson Sgt. Sharlene Brooks,
who attended court for the verdict, said
undercover police are not usually used in
impaired driving cases, but given the mag-
nitude of the tragedy, it was appropriate.
On behalf of the DPD, Brooks praised
the family for fighting against drinking and
driving.

In the last provincial election, DeVries was the Delta
South candidate for the B.C. Liberals until she ceded the
nomination to former Attorney-General Wally Oppal.
Deltans head to the polls Sept. 18.
DPD welcomes furry friend
The Delta Police Department's victim services sec-
tion has welcomed a furry friend into its fold.
The department has launched an Animal Assisted
Intervention K-9 program in partnership with Pacific
Assistance Dog Society (PADS), the first of its kind in
Canada, said Sgt. Sharlene Brooks in a media release.
A two-year-old Labrador retriever started training
with Delta Police victim services coordinators Mon-
day (July 26) as part of a new approach to lending
support and reassurance to those impacted by crime
and trauma.
After the assessment period, the Lab will report for
duty at DPD headquarters daily with his primary han-
dler. His role will include helping calm those who are
excessively upset and acting as a bridge to with people
who have difficulty communicating such as children
and people with disabilities.

Lottery scam Suites

Woman loses $20,000 to strangers
BLACK PRESS
A lottery ticket scam promising a
share in a fortune ended up costing
an elderly woman $20,000.
According to Delta Police, the
woman was approached in a Ladner
shopping plaza parking lot on June 16
by an elderly woman who claimed to
have a winning lottery ticket.
The female suspect said she was an
illegal immigrant and could not claim
the winnings unless she had a Canadi-
an citizen present who must also have
assets to prove citizenship.
SUSPECTS SOUGHT—Delta Police are looking for a man and woman who
scammed an elderly lady of $20,000 in Ladner last month. Images provided by DPD
Another male suspect joined the

stated the DPD release.
The female suspect is described as
five foot-two inches tall, 50 to 60-years-
old with wrinkles on her face. She had
shoulder length dark curly hair and
spoke with a Spanish accent. She
was wearing a light coloured sun hat
(woven thatch-type) and wore numer-
ous pieces of jewelry (a watch and
bracelets on her left arm and brace-

dark blouse and pants. She was also
in possession of a large, shiny black
purse with silver decorations.

Council grants final approval
BLACK PRESS
Delta homeowners
with illegal secondary
suites will either have to
make sure they meet new
municipal standards or
face a $200-a-day fine
after Monday night's
council meeting.
Final approval was
granted to three new
bylaws to legalize and to
establish regulations for
secondary suites in single
family homes in Delta.The
vote was unanimous.
“Secondary suites offer
a much-needed afford-
able housing option in
our community,” Mayor
Lois Jackson said. “It has
taken us a number of
years to get to this point
and it is important for our
residents’ safety that we
regulate these suites."
Currently, Delta staff
estimate there are 5,300
to 7,000 secondary suites
in Delta, many of which
do not meet zoning or
building code standards.
The new regulations
were drafted by the Delta

It will be a trip back in time for those
who served, especially for Huff and

One of them was Davie who joined
up in 1962 as a fresh faced 16-year-
old who managed to get permission
from his high school principal to leave
class if the siren atop the volunteer fire
hall called the group into action or the
Ladner fire hall was short staffed.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," says
Davie who logged a total of 47 and
a half years as a volunteer. "I got to

SUPER PORT Westshore Terminals

delivering coal

As the ships grew larger and their visits

'D
on't touch the railing, unless you
really feel like you're going to fall,"
comes the gentle reminder from
Ray Dykes as he scales a gantry.
The reason for the advice—which goes
unheeded—becomes immediately clear
thanks to a palm instantly covered with a
black, sooty layer.
"Coal dust. It's our biggest enemy here,"
says Dykes, a consultant who handles pub-
lic relations for Westshore, the biggest bulk
coal port on the west coast of North America
which celebrates four decades in business
this year.
It's a constant battle to keep the powdery
black residue at bay because there are virtu-
ally mini mountains of coal piled on a portion
of the 133 acre (54 hectare) site that lies at the
end of a man-made causeway stretching off-
shore along the tidal flats of Roberts Bank.
Some of the black stuff—ranging in tex-
ture from pea gravel to granulated sugar—is
piled 60 feet high and shifted by bulldozers
Moving mountains
Like an oversized Tonka toy, the Stacker-
Reclaimer has a crane-like boom with a rotat-
ing set of scoops at the end that can both load
and unload coal.
That is essentially what happens there
around the clock. And the cumulative vol-
ume of what is being shifted is staggering.
Westshore's best year for moving coal was
1997 when 23.5 million tons passed through
the facility.
This year, the pace is slightly ahead of that.
As of June 30 a total of 12.3 million tons have
been shipped.
The first ship to set sail with a load of coal
(24,289 tons) from Westshore on May 4, 1970
was the MV Snow White which departed for
Japan.
While that was the first of 7,500 vessels to take
on a shipment over the last 40 years, the MV
Snow White's total load has been dwarfed.
In fact, Westshore holds the world record
for a single coal shipment when it loaded
more frequent, the coal port's overall per-
formance figures steadily rose.
It reached its first 100 million tons in 1987.
That jumped to 600 million tons by 2009, and
then to 625 million tons by 2010.
So, where does all this coal come from?
Long train loads—up to 125 cars—bring in
coal from mine in south east B.C., west cen-
tral Alberta and even the U.S.
That means trips of between 1,100 km and
up to 2,000 km before it reaches South Delta.
Where does it all go?
Japan is the single biggest client, gobbling
up 35 per cent.
Korea is next with 30 per cent. Europe takes
15 per cent, and China comes in at 14 per
cent, despite its market size, because of rich,
indigenous supplies of coal.
But with market prices for the commod-
ity currently at decent levels—ranging from
$100 to $200 a ton, depending on the type of
coal—business is good at Westshore and its
200 or so employees.
Settling the dust
Moving that amount means creating dust
and raising the ire of not just immediate neigh-
bours here in South Delta, but along populated
sections of the rail line transporting the coal.
Dykes says a latex spray applied at the
mines coats the coal to keep the dust down. A
second coating is then added when the trains
pull into the Kamloops area.
When they reach Westshore, the battle to
keep the dust down is elevated with an arse-
nal of measures.
They start at the entrance where vehicles
leaving Westshore are driven through a spray
tunnel to wash off any accumulated dust.
Then there are high-masted water spray
towers and ground level rain guns—79 of
them—that ring and dot the central area of
the storage piles. Sensors on the masts check
wind speed and direction to determine which
ones are the most effective to employ.
If the wind is too high, the ground-based
rain guns, that look like they have been

requires a delicate balance as
too much spraying can add too

it heavier. Since the customer is

Westshore can pay a penalty on

"That's a lot of beer," Gaze says. we've probably had 50 to 70 floats,"

"But it's a nice, community beer gar-
den where you can come in and have
quiet beer, kids are invited, so it's a
real family event. Most beer gardens
don't allow minors at all."
Provincial regulations don't stipu-
late age restrictions for such facilities.
And since the beer garden is situated
adjacent to a kids playground, allow-
ing families to remain together adds a
unique touch to Sun Festival.
The local Kiwanis Club has been
involved since the mid 1970s and serves
up pancake breakfasts on Aug. 2, start-
ing at 8 a.m. and running until 11 a.m.
In that time the Kiwanis members can
serve up as many as 400 to 500 meals.
"That's a lot of batter and sausages,
and lot of blueberries," says Kiwanis
member Larry Rossiter, laughing. "It's
always a fun day."
And it's all for a good cause.
"All the money we make goes back
into the community," Rossiter says.
"And it's used for bursaries, dona-
tions to the hospital and hospice, plus
sports events like swimming and base-
ball teams, those types of things."
But what would a big community
celebration be without a parade?
The Tsawwassen Rotary Club's

a good portion are local, with the
remainder from around the region
where they have appeared in the Lad-
ner May Days parade and festivals in
Richmond, and White Rock. "And in
years gone by we've had representation
from groups on Vancouver Island."
The parade goes on Aug. 2, starting at
11 a.m. and runs along 56th Street, start-
ing at 16th Ave. and ending at 9th Ave.
Over the course of the three-day cel-
ebration there will also be plenty to
do with a host of entertainment and
activities.
One of the most popular is the
annual antique fair held over three
days at the South Delta Recreation
Centre. Achtymichuk says that draws
about 10,000.
Since this year's theme is celebrat-
ing arts and culture, there will be
dance performances from different
cultures, plus a variety of food vendors
from around the world.
The night skies will be lit up Aug. 1 with
a fireworks display at the lacrosse box at
the South Delta Recreation Centre.

Teen helps save skateboard event
KRISTINE SALZMANN
REPORTER
Marisa Achtymichuk didn't
want to see one of the Tsawwas-
sen Sun Festival's main draws for
teens disappear.
The skateboard competition
was in jeopardy after the event's
usual organizer, a local skateboard
shop, closed, so Achtymichuk, the
festival's coordinator, looked to
the youth who compete.
Michael Ray, 14, was last year's
winner of the skateboard competi-
tion's advanced category. Achtymi-
chuk turned to him to see if the teen
would help her keep the competi-
tion going as well as raise its profile
among the community's youth.
Ray is spreading the word
through Facebook and by putting
up posters at other skateparks.
He helped find local judges who
know the sport—Michael Laboss-
ierre and Sam Lotzkar
from Tsawwassen, and
Dustin Columbo from
Ladner—and he and
his peers are putting
together the music to
play during the event.
Aktymichuk and Ray
are also looking for
sponsors, and the plan
is to give skateboarding
swag to the top perform- Michael Ray, 14, is helping organize

generation that owner Jenny Ho says is using social networking and other
online tools to share their enjoyment of quilting. Rob Newell photo

Quilted Bear owner says social networking

KRISTINE SALZMANN
REPORTER
T
here's a new generation of quil-
ters, says Jenny Ho, and they've
got a virtual connection.
Ho is the owner of The Quilted Bear
in Ladner, who started the Quilt Walk
a decade ago, before it was paired with
a classic car show.
As the annual Quilt Walk and Classic
Car Show in Ladner Village approach-
es (Aug. 15), Ho talked with the Leader
about how quilting has evolved to
involve a younger crowd that uses
blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube
to share their hobby.
"Back when Quilting Bees were
a time where women sat around a
quilt frame, hand quilting a quilt
while drinking tea and munching on
goodies—this was the time for them to
catch up with their friends and social-
ize," says Ho. "Fast forward to our fast
paced world of emails, phone confer-
ences and texting, there doesn’t seem
to be enough time to commute to get
together, yet we are all still needing
that time to socialize."
To keep in touch with her customers
and friends, Ho started a blog more
than a year ago. Called Nattering Bears
(http://natteringbears.blogspot.com).
She says the blog creates a more per-
sonal relationship with her custom-

Quilters are also turning to YouTube
for how-to videos and new project

Tools such as these has encour-
aged a younger crowd of quilters to
emerge between the ages of 16 to 40.
Ho says they are quilting more for art
and instant gratification, rather than
create an heirloom quilt to be passed
on to future generations.
"The whole mentality is that it's not
just quilts anymore. It's projects like
tote bags, kids' clothing, quick and
easy projects where you get that result
right away," says Ho.
"And people aren't afraid of getting
it (quilts) dirty. It's not tucked away in
a cedar chest, they take it to the beach
right away."

That's the message Giovanni
Mantovani wants to spread to
former customers of Giovanni's
Deli, a beloved family-run eatery
at the Tsawwassen Town Centre
Mall until it was destroyed in a fire
last year.
On April 29, 2009, Giovanni's
wife Bev had left the deli to teach
her first dance class of evening at
her Tsawwassen studio, Los Gita-
nos School of Spanish Dance,
when a student came in to tell her
there was a fire at the mall.
"I carried on teaching, and my
next class came in and said, you've
got to stop teaching, the place is
burning. I went up and Giovanni
was just devastated," she told the
Leader a few days later.
Ten businesses were impacted
a challenge to put out.
At the time, the Mantovanis were
not sure what they would do next.
Their deli had been open for about
a year and a half, and the sudden
loss of income was a shock.
Many of the businesses relo-
cated within the mall area as the
months passed, but Giovanni's
Deli was among the handful that
did not.
Now, Giovanni Mantovani wants
to give the deli one last shot.
He is taking over Lux's Delicates-
sen in Ladner (4802 Delta St.) with
an opening date set for April 9.
"When this opportunity came
around, now my main focus is to
get Giovanni's back on it's feet,
and letting everyone know I'm
back," he says.
Mantovani is eliminating the
shelving stock of his first store
and focusing on his homemade

FAMILY FAVOURITE—South Delta Leader advertising sales rep Jane Ilott says the
recipe for blueberry crisp lifted from the Harrowsmith Cookbook is a sentimental
favourite, easy to prepare and a hit with all in the family. Rob Newell photo
Crispy goodness
Wedding gift cookbook yields a dessert that
touches both heart and soul
When Jane Ilott leafs through the
pages of her trusty Harrowsmith Cook-
book a host of memories come rushing
to the fore.
The book was a wedding present
from family, says the advertising sales
rep with the South Delta Leader.
Plus, her father who was a profes-
sional photographer used to shoot for
the Harrowsmith Country Life Maga-
zine, making the connection with the
publication a special one.
"I grew up with Harrowsmith Coun-
try Life Magazine and would see my
dad's pictures in it all the time," says
Ilott who is originally from Fergus,
Ontario which is located 19 km north
of Guelph.
Then there's the fact one of her fam-
ily's favourite recipes for a quick and
easy dessert—blueberry crisp—come
from the book.
"I remember early on after being
married my husband and stepson just
Blueberry crisp
INGREDIENTS
4 cups of blueberries
2 tbsp. tapioca
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
½ tsp. lemon peel
DIRECTIONS
Combine blueberries, tapioca, sugar,
lemon juice and lemon peel and mix
well.
Pour into greased, nine-inch square
loved blueberries and this was a great
way to prepare them," says Ilott who is
a committee member organizing the
Quilt Walk and Classic Car Show in
Ladner. "Even to this day my stepson
Graham calls it Jane's crisp."
Ilott's two younger children also
tuck into the dish that's best served
along with vanilla ice cream.
"You can also use whipped cream if
you want to be decadent," she says.
Either way, it's a great way to end a
meal with something wholesome and
packed with plenty of antioxidants.
It could be a good way to recover
from a day at the Quilt Walk and
Classic Car Show set for Aug. 15 right
in the heart of Ladner Village, Ilott
says.
Throughout the summer the Leader
has been featuring its staff in the Local
Flavour section to help readers get to
know them better.

COMFORTABLE CRUISER—Still cute and racy after all these years. Mazda's MX-5 is a top-down thrill

f you are considering a mid-

than not a cute little con-
vertible—make sure you get into
shape first.
Otherwise, you might not feel
you are rolling back the years as
you find yourself applying muscle
liniment liberally on your sore
back.
That was me during a week-
long test drive of the perennially
cute little drop top, two-seater
that switched its name from
Miata a few years ago.
I guess I had been so used to
being the taxi driver, ferrying my
two kids around in our Mazda5
minivan that when it came to
plunking myself behind the
wheel of theMX-5 it almost felt I

letter "C", I vowed not to let my
four decades-plus get the better
of me after just the first day of
driving it.
I went back and tried to figure
out a few things that would make
me and my pride feel better.
Some simple adjustments to
the driver's seat to get the right
pedal length and steering wheel
grip made all the difference.
It also emphasised how sporty
the short throw, six-speed's silky
shifting was as you ease through
the gears to get the most out of
the growly 2.0 litre, four cylinder
engine that winds out 167 horses
and 140 foot pounds of torque.
A quick, weekend trip up to the
North Okanagan on a top-down,
starlit summer evening was a
good test of MX-5's performance
as it easily gobbled up the kilo-
metres of the busy highway many
like to treat as an autobahn.
It also sucked up the fuel big
time, for such a small car. Accord-
