The South FraserPerimeter Road provedto be a hot topic atDelta South MLA VickiHuntington’s town hallmeeting Monday night.

Held at TsawwassenUnited Church, a mostlyolder crowd of severaldozen attended the forum tohear the independent MLAtalk about several localissues and some of the billsintroduced this legislativesession.

“We will have to fight forthe quality of life we haveleft here,” Huntington toldthe audience.

Huntington calledplanned changes tothe Agricultural LandCommission and theAgricultural Land Reserveunnecessary and clearlydesigned open the door todevelopment on some ofCanada’s richest farmlandin northern B.C.

The Liberal government’splan to replace the GeorgeMassey Tunnel with abridge was also discussed,with the second-termMLA calling the consulta-tion process a farce. Theport’s role in a new bridge,

which would allow biggerships to go up the FraserRiver, was also discussed,with Huntington sayingshe is asking if Port MetroVancouver will contributeto the massive cost of thecrossing.

The topic that drew themost ire from the audiencewas the SFPR, the four-lanehighway that opened lastDecember.

Huntington talked about

several issues, includingpoor and incorrect signage,a problem not only for localmotorists but even more sofor tourists. She said thegovernment is aware of theissue and is scrambling tocorrect it.

She also wonderedwhere the Ministry ofTransportation is getting itstraffic count figures, sinceelectronic traffic countershave not been functioning

properly.Another issue for the $1

billion highway is that it hasproved deadly for wildlifewith at least a dozen deerhit and killed. Huntingtonsaid more fencing is neededbecause culverts built forwildlife to cross underneathwere poorly designed andplaced.

What’s worse is thegovernment is consideringincreasing the speed limit

on the SFPR when, shesaid, Victoria has been toldit should be reduced.

The audience also ventedabout highway layout,including the Highway17A interchange withHighway 99 northbound.The Highway 17A mergepoint with Highway 17southbound, described as a“deathtrap” by Huntington,was also discussed with theMLA noting the province islooking at several changes,including lengthening themerge area and straighten-ing the curve.

Huntington suggestedpeople get together with herto come up with a detailedlist of questions and con-cerns in a document thatcould be presented to theMinistry of Transportation,which might prompt theministry to act even faster.

The town hall sessionalso included an update onthe fight against the pro-posed radio transmissiontowers in Point Roberts.Saying his group will bemeeting with local MPKerry-Lynne Findlay onemore time, resident SteveGraham said the Canadiangovernment dropped theball on the issue, leavinglocals on their own.

It may be one of thequintessential symbols ofEaster and spring, but alocal pet store owner is try-ing to spread the messagethat buying your children abunny to mark the holidayis not a good idea.

A rabbit owner herself,Michelle LeMoignan, whois one of the owners ofPets-N-Us, says the furrylittle critters generally donot make good pets forchildren.

“Rabbits as a rule don’tlike to be picked up andcuddled,” she said.

While they might seemcute in the store, having arabbit as a pet is a long-term commitment. They

can live for more than adecade, she said, and aremore work and can causemore destruction around thehouse than a dog.

Delta CommunityAnimal Shelter managerSarah Jones agrees.

“Rabbits are not goodpets for kids,” she said.“They’re a complex pet.”

Jones said the smallanimals are on the low endof the food chain and tendto be nervous and anxious,especially if they are notsocialized properly at ayoung age.

Jones said rabbits havecomplex dietary needs andcannot simply be left in acage.

“They’re not self-sustain-ing.”

Rabbits are the third

most-surrendered pet, shesaid, adding the Delta shel-ter sees at least a few everyyear in the months follow-ing Easter.

Many also end up aban-doned in local parks andgreen spaces.

In 2012, the Corporationof Delta spent thousandscapturing, sterilizing andrelocating the estimated 500rabbits that had come tocall the municipal precincthome.

Jones said the shelterdoes not want people tosimply abandon an unwant-ed rabbit. Owners who nolonger want their furryfriends should either give itaway to someone who willproperly care for it or sur-render it to a shelter.

LeMoignan suggests peo-

ple really interested in get-ting a rabbit contact one ofthe rabbit rescue organiza-tions in the Lower Mainland— Small Animal RescueSociety of B.C., Bandaidsfor Bunnies and VancouverRabbit Rescue.

LeMoignan, who alsovolunteers with Bandaidsfor Bunnies, recently helda fundraiser, the first-everBaby Bunny Shower, at theTsawwassen Pets-N-Us.The event raised more than$600.

North Delta’s HeathTraditional School wasclosed earlier this weekafter a small fire broke outearly Monday morning.

Students were notin class on Monday orTuesday, but all gradesexcept kindergarten wereexpected to return to schooltoday.

Smoke and flames werefirst reported by nearbyresidents at around 2:30a.m. Monday.

The cause of the fire atthe 72nd Avenue school hasnot yet been determined.

Delta school districtspokesperson DenekaMichaud said it was origi-nally hoped to have most of

the students back in classon Tuesday, but the restora-tion contractor needed atleast 36 hours to adequatelyclear smoke from the build-ing.

The cause of the fireis still under investiga-tion, Michaud said, and itremains unclear if it is sus-picious.

“The fire happened in theearly morning around 2:30a.m. and was contained toone area at the back of theschool, with a kindergartenclassroom receiving signifi-cant damage,” she said in astatement.

“We are incred-ibly thankful to Delta Fire(Department) who respond-ed to the fire immediatelyand did an excellent job,”Michaud said.

Another group of B.C.police officers was inductedinto a prestigious club fortheir commitment to taking,and keeping, impaired driv-ers off the road.

One Delta police officerand seven from the DeasIsland RCMP were amongthe 313 to join Alexa’sTeam last week, deliveringon a promise to reduce thenumber of alcohol-relatedmotor vehicle deaths in theprovince.

Four-year-old AlexaMiddelaer was killed inMay 2008 after an impaireddriver struck her. She hadbeen feeding horses by theside of a Ladner road withher aunt when a northboundcar careened off the road,striking Alexa, her aunt andthe horse.

Two years later, theMiddelaer family chal-lenged police officers andthe province to reduce thenumber of deaths caused byalcohol impaired driving by35 per cent by the end of2013, the year Alexa wouldhave turned 10.

Just nine months aftertheir daughter’s death,Laurel and MichaelMiddelaer, in conjunctionwith the BCAA Traffic

Safety Foundation, startedAlexa’s Team and honouredthe first 26 officers. Sincethen, 1,321 officers fromacross the province havebecome members of theteam and processed morethan 50,000 impaired driv-ing charges and penalties.

Earlier this year, theprovincial governmentannounced a 52 per centdecrease in alcohol-relatedmotor vehicle deaths,which, according to theprovince, represents 190lives saved.

“It is amazing to us thatwhen a team of committedindividuals are working col-lectively towards a goal thatchange can truly happen,”Laurel Middelaer said. “Weare humbled by the resultsof reduced fatalities, andgive credit to our front lineofficers, who are supportedby their leaders and gov-ernment to truly make ourroads safer for all our com-munities...”

Delta police and DeasIsland RCMP officers com-bined to take a total of 436impaired drivers off localroads in 2013.

Thank you to theCorporation of Delta fortheir continued supportof our community event.

Delta council approvedthe rezoning of munici-pally-owned parcels onthe Ladner waterfront lastweek.

Hoping to entice a poten-tial buyer with more attrac-tive development options,civic politicians unanimous-ly agreed with a staff rec-ommendation to rezone theSeven Seas site, which alsoincludes the adjacent parcelformerly occupied by theBrackman-Ker warehouse,on Chisholm Street.

The new waterfrontmixed-use zone would per-mit a wide range of uses,including retail, office andservice commercial, eatingand drinking establish-ments, moorage and marina,recreation and cultural, aswell as limited residential.

Any new structures onthe site would be limited toa maximum height of two-and-a-half storeys.

Following a public hear-ing the week earlier whereonly a few people spoke onthe application, all express-ing concern or opposition,council held off taking avote.

Coun. Ian Paton notedlast week Ladner Harbour

could enjoy the samerejuvenation as Steveston,where residential units werepermitted above new com-mercial spaces.

Mayor Lois Jacksonagreed, saying the redevel-opment of the waterfrontwould be a good opportu-nity to try to incorporatehistoric designs.

Staff noted concern wasraised at the public hearingthat rezoning the parcelswould rule out the oppor-tunity for public review offuture proposals, but anyfuture development propos-als would require a develop-ment permit, which wouldinclude notification.

It was also noted therezoning of the site wouldbring it in line with therevised Official CommunityPlan for the rest of the area.

The redevelopment ofthe Seven Seas site haslong been considered bythe municipality as a key inencouraging further rede-velopment of the rest of theLadner Harbour area.

Built in the 1970s andoriginally used as a fueldock, the Seven Seas build-ing is not on Delta’s heri-tage register.

Delta had consideredredeveloping the site with aprivate partner but that ini-tiative fell through.

Council unanimous onSeven Seas rezoningWide range of uses now permitted on waterfront site


Delta’s rezoning of the Seven Seas site could pave the way forretail, restaurants or even residential.

Ignoring usjust routinefor gov’t

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

Do governments routinely ignore us,and it’s simply a case of not noticing thatone-sided arrangement until we have toturn to them for help?

That question, or at least somethingto that effect, was put to me a couple ofweeks back while discussing the radiotowers issue with an individual involvedin the fight to keep them out of PointRoberts. Given all the battles waged withgovernment over major projects in recentyears, you’d think this would have beenanother jaded Tsawwassenite fed up withall that’s been foisted on the community.

Ironically, it was actually someonefrom across the line who was wonder-ing how her government, and ours, hadallowed the situation to get to this point.How does something that doesn’t makeany sense, and looks so easy to correct,turn into such an ordeal?

It was a tough one to answer, but it didprovide an interesting launching point fora discussion in terms of getting govern-ment to respond to public pleas.

Local government is the closest to thepeople and, for the most part, I think itdoes a good job of listening to its con-stituents. That’s not to say it’s going to doeverything you ask, but it generally heedswhat it hears, which is why, for example,building heights are limited and the rede-velopment of Tsawwassen’s commercialcore and the Ladner waterfront continueto languish.

The higher up the food chain you go,however, the less it seems that publicinput is considered. That’s not to say it’stotally disregarded, but if senior govern-ment gets something set in its mind,good luck trying to change it. It’s beenattempted a number of times around herewith limited success.

When agendas developed around cabi-net tables far removed from these partsare coupled with large, hard-to-movebureaucracies, it generally proves toomuch for locals to overcome. In thesecases, what’s decided from afar is thensold to us as the best option, local sensi-bilities be damned.

Delta and Point Roberts are by nomeans unique when it comes to beingdictated to, yet it seems we get more thanour fair share.

The idea of senior government tellingus the way it should be, rather than theother way around, has rubbed enoughfolks around here the wrong way thatwe’ve made B.C. history by electingan outspoken independent the last twotimes.

It’s a sign we’re not going to take it,but when it comes to the radio towers andother important issues, that doesn’t meansenior government won’t keep trying.

As a long-suffering Canucksfan, it’s been a tough season. Butin typical Canucks fan fashion, I’moptimistic about the future.

Hearing that Trevor Linden isback with the team is part of it, butwhat really gets my hopes up isthat, just before being announcedas president, Linden was on thephone with Pat Quinn.

I had the pleasure of seeingQuinn speak one time at a localevent for coaches. It was fascinat-ing. He’s been part of the league inso many roles for so long, and thestories he told were riveting. I thinkhe spoke for 90 minutes, but it feltlike such a short time. I could havelistened for hours.

The part that has really stuckwith me was what he said about

teams. He said a team is like asauce, each player being a differentingredient. Over time, the saucegets better as it simmers and melds,but sometimes ingredients sourand need to be changed. Addingthe wrong ingredient can make thewhole thing taste bad, just like tak-ing away a key ingredient can havea significant impact as well.

Thinking about teams in this waythroughout the season has been eyeopening for me, but it also makes alot of sense. It explains why teamswith a number of superstar play-ers can fall short, and why teamsthat shouldn’t be contenders do sowell. Sure, one ingredient can havea bigger impact than another, butthey all have to meld together tohave the best outcome.

I’ve used Quinn’s philoso-phy in the work setting as well.Sometimes, people just aren’t theright ingredient for the sauce. Theymay be a great employee, a hardworker and a nice person, but ifthey change the sauce, or if thereis too much of the same ingredi-ent, the flavour isn’t right. Garlicis wonderful, but finding the rightamount is the challenge.

I know people who can take acounter full of food and spices andturn it into a culinary delight. Ialso know people who can take thesame ingredients and turn it intosomething better suited as yardwaste. That’s the magic a goodchef, or coach, or boss brings to thesituation. It’s not always the ingre-dients, it’s how they work togetherthat makes magic happen. The hardpart is knowing when an ingredi-ent needs to be changed, or when itneeds more time to simmer.

I had the opportunity to workwith an amazing goalie coach thisyear and helped coach kids on ourlocal teams, so I learned a lot aboutthe position. That’s why I’m a bigRoberto Luongo fan. Luongo isgreat, better than some fans givehim credit for. I was sad to see himget traded, especially how it hap-pened. He was an important ingre-dient in our sauce, and as soon as itwas gone, our sauce soured.

Linden understands Quinn’s phi-losophy. He lived it on the ‘94 runto the Stanley Cup. I hope he is asgood a chef as Quinn.

I’ll start boiling water for thepasta.

You’d never know it, but thiscoach is one heck of a cook

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: MP taking action on

radio towers file, letter tothe editor, April 4

While MP Kerry-LynneFindlay listed 12 radio sta-tions broadcasting withinher constituency, it is incor-rect to claim the two sta-tions broadcasting in Blaineare within that geographicarea. While it is correct tostate that nine of the sta-tions are transmitting at thesame power as the proposedKRPI transmitter in PointRoberts, only one stationis actually located in prox-imity to a residential area.The remainder are in ruralenvironments, lessening theexposure to residents.

The KRPI transmitter isbeing relocated reportedlybecause of ongoing com-plaints from the residents ofFerndale, Wash., for whichthe only answer appears tobe relocation, demonstrat-ing the inability of thisradio station to actuallyaddress concerns.

And we are expectedto accept the commit-ments of the station thatit will address our localconcerns 24/7/365? I donot believe the residents ofeither Tsawwassen or PointRoberts are that naïve. Andcomplaining after the factto our government has prov-en equally ineffective in thepast. We don’t exist!

Neither government isprotecting the interestsof its citizens; in fact, theopposite appears to be true.

Findlay should lookback at the voting recordof South Delta. We had astrong MP for years whowas supported, in part,because of his represent-ing us, not representingOttawa to us. Similarly wedealt with an MLA whorepresented Victoria to usrather than representing ourconcerns, and elected anindependent.

We’ve done it before andcan do it again. It is timewe saw positive action byour representative.

John S. Hutchins

Editor:Recent letter writers to

the Optimist have onceagain reinforced the whiny,negative, ungrateful atti-tudes of a certain mean-spirited group of residents.

I have had the privilegeof meeting Delta-RichmondEast MP Kerry-Lynne

Findlay and was veryimpressed with her intelli-gence and work ethic.

As minister of nationalrevenue, she has a seat atthe cabinet table where allthe major decisions aremade.

Her predecessor fishedand sat in the backbenches

throughout his parliamen-tary career.

Tsawwassen and Deltaresidents should be verygrateful to have a memberof Parliament like Findlaywho will work tirelessly forthe best interests of all ourresidents.

Joan Vanstone

Neither gov’t protecting citizens

Editor:On Monday, while start-

ing out to cross 56th Streetat 12th Avenue on a “walk”sign, a Delta engineeringtruck turned right on a red,cutting me off.

A few weeks ago, a ladytried her negligent best torun me over in the cross-walk at Windsor Woods.

Fortunately, I dodged,danced and jumped in timeto propel myself off herfender.

There are the manynear misses I see in thecrosswalk on 12th Avenuebetween Save-On andThrifty Foods.

“Stop” no longer meansstop. Amber means speed

up. Very few drivers stopbefore turning right on ared. “No turning on a redlight” signs are ignored.Most drivers don’t turn intotheir lanes. Most fail to sig-nal turns and lane changes.

Why is traffic lawenforcement in Delta soslack?

In our home office, onmy desk, there happensto be a file. It is labelledMiscellaneous.

It contains all mannerof odds and ends. And it’sgrowing at a frighteningrate.

Within Miscellaneous areitems I want to keep, butdon’t know where to put.Anniversary cards from mysweetheart. Warranty docu-ments for the toaster. A mapof downtown Seattle. Aprogram from a New Yorkplay. A ticket stub from afootball game. A bookletexplaining my cell phonecontract. A credit from abook store. Programs fromthe sons’ university gradu-ations.

“What should I do withthese instructions for thenew camera?” asked thehusband, waving somepapers in my face.

“Oh, put it in

Miscellaneous,” I said.“Although the desk maywell collapse beneath itsweight. You know, this maybe the old straw that breaksthe camel’s back.”

It’s that big,Miscellaneous.

If I had better organi-zational skills — or 1,739hours with nothing to do— I would come up somekind of system. I would cre-ate a sub file called SpecialCards. I would createanother called Warranties,and another called Mapsand another called RetailCredits.

Problem is, that wouldn’tbe the end of it.

There would be dozensand dozens of additionalfiles, each containing asingle item.

For instance, I wouldhave a file called LettersFrom Published Authors IWrote to Who Happenedto Write Back. I wouldhave another called PrettyPictures of BackyardSwimming Pools, ShouldWe Ever Decide to GetOne, and another labelledMagazine Clippings of HairStyles I May Want to Think

About at Some Point.You get the idea, I’m

sure. I would have morefiles than I would knowwhat to do with, and thestuff would keep on com-ing.

Take the paperwork thatcame with the microwave.

The husband stumbledupon it when he was filingaway the instructions for thecamera.

“Why are we keep-ing this?” he asked. “Wealready know how to usethe microwave. If we wantto trim back Miscellaneous,surely this could go.”

“But if the power goesout and the clock needs tobe reset, I’ll need to consultthe instructions.”

It would stay, I decided— either within the humon-gous Miscellaneous file,or within some newly cre-ated one called Microwave:How to Reset Clock inthe Aftermath of a PowerOutage.

The husband favoursturfing some stuff, but Ihappen to disagree.

Miscellaneous, yes, is outof control. But the file ishere to stay.

Stuff is too precious totrim Miscellaneous file

Ladner photographer AliRoddam of Bellaphoto hasopened a commercial studiowith gorgeous natural light.

“It just has such a greatvibe. I overlook WesthamIsland, I getto see the sunsetting whenI’m here. It’samazing,” shesays.

Roddam had run an on-location photography busi-ness for about three yearsand was getting so busy shedecided she needed a space.

She specializes in familyand newborn photographyand has also started doingwomen’s glamour and bou-doir photography as well.

“I really needed a spacefor that.”

She primarily shoots withnatural light, especially forher newborn clients. Newbabies are delicate so it’s

important to go with a pro-fessional for newborn pho-tography, she notes.

Roddam, who also ownsButtercups Children’sBoutique with her mom,

studiedphotog-raphy atLangaraCollege.

Sherecently did photos forthe Mounties, a musicgroup featuring HawksleyWorkman, Steve Bays fromHot Hot Heat and RyanDahle from Limblifter.

Ladner church screeningtrash-free documentaryDid you know that Canadians gener-

ate approximately 31 million tons ofgarbage a year and recycle only about30 per cent of that material?This means each person generates

approximately 2.7 kg of garbage eachday. The sheer volume of waste is sovast that many existing landfill sites areapproaching capacity. We have all seenthat ever-growing mountain next toHighway 99.So what should we, as responsible

citizens, do?One Vancouver couple decided to

challenge themselves to do somethingabout this staggering statistic by livingwaste-free for a year. Out of this deci-sion was born a film called The CleanBin Project.This award-winning documentaryfollows their year of trying to live con-sumer- and waste-free and explores

the larger issues of garbage in NorthAmerica. It features interviews withrenowned artist Chris Jordan andmarine pollution expert Capt. CharlesMoore, and presents the serious topicof waste reduction with optimism,humour and inspiration for individualaction.The Creation Care Committee at

Cedar Park Church in Ladner is cel-ebrating Earth Week this year by host-ing a screening of this documentary onFriday, April 25 at 7 p.m.The event is free of charge and open

to the public. Popcorn and drinks willbe available by donation at the conces-sion with proceeds going to a localenvironmental cause.For more information on this event,

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.

McNamaras earn spot in Youth Olympic GamesNicole and Megan McNamara will be

representing Canada at this summer’s2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing,China.

The 16-year-old twins fromTsawwassen earned one of two berths upfor grabs at last weekend’s NORCECAVolleyball Confederation final qualifyingtournament in Carolina, Puerto Rico.

The McNamaras crushed Grenada’sJomelar Billy and Carsie Paul 21-1, 21-12and continued with a 21-11, 21-8 victoryover Suriname’s Sigourney Kame andGabrielle Boutersem to secure the YouthOlympic berth. The Games take placeAug. 16-28.

The accomplishment comes on theheels of the Grade 11 South Delta second-ary students earning the opportunity to

also represent Canada at the FIVB U19World Championships in Porto, PortugalJuly 29-to-Aug. 3. The girls swept aqualifying tournament in Toronto, cappedby a 21-19 and 21-15 win over Ontario’sAlexandra Poletto and Tia Miric.

“We prepared a lot in the weeks comingup to the tournament and it feels amazingthat all of our hard work paid off,” saidMegan. “We are super excited to representCanada at our first World Championshipsthis summer!”

The girls have already made a verbalcommitment to continue their beach vol-leyball careers at UCLA in the fall of2015.

The McNamaras have also led theSouth Delta Sun Devils to three consecu-tive provincial indoor volleyball cham-pionships, including the past two at thesenior 4A level. The Sun Devils will beheavily favoured to three-peat next season.

Nicole and Megan McNamara will be representing Canada at the Youth Olympic Games in Chinathis summer after securing a spot at a qualifying tournament in Puerto Rico last weekend.

Sun Devils rugby program on the moveWith over 30 players on senior boys team South Delta competing at Fraser Valley tier one AAA level this season

A healthy South Delta secondary rugbyprogram is tangling with the big boys thisseason.

The Sun Devils have left behind thecomforts of tier two to compete at the tierone 3A level where they are battling sixother schools. The higher league not onlymeans tougher opponents but plenty oftraveling too with four of the teams comingfrom the Tri-Cities area and another fromAbbotsford. South Delta opened the seasonwith a 46-0 home field loss to Coquitlam’sGleneagle Talons but should make steadyimprovement in the weeks ahead.

“We have a lot of new boys to the pro-gram and rugby is a very technical game,”explained coach Malcolm Johnston. “Alot of teams have dropped (down) becausethis is a tough level to compete at. Ourphilosophy as coaches is it’s not about winsor losses but to play good rugby. If we dothat, the results will take care of them-selves.”

The Devils’ roster features 31 playerswith the core having played at the juniorlevel with Bayside or Delta Brit LionsRugby Clubs.

The program has attracted some studentswho do not participate in any other sportsand even players from the school’s success-ful football program. However, Johnstonpoints out it’s a tough transition for grid-iron standouts.

“It’s such a different game,” he said.“Typically, football players find it difficult

to pass the ball. They are simply not usedto it. The keys to being a successful rugbyteam is passing, rucking and tackling.

“We’re probably going to have to winevery (remaining) game to make theplayoffs but we’ll see how the boys come

together and go from there.”Sun Devils next home game is April 24

against Port Moody at 4 p.m.

Boon named to Canadian team for Pacific ChampionshipsWinskill Dolphins’ Dalton

Boon will be competing inhis first-ever Pacific Para-swimming Championshipsafter being named to theCanadian team last week.

The 19-year-old fromLadner is part of a 33-member team that features18 returnees from thegroup that won 16 med-als at the 2013 IPC WorldChampionships in Montreal.Set for Aug. 6-10 at theRose Bowl Aquatic Centerin Pasadena, Calif. The ParaPan Pacs represents the pre-mier international meet forCanada’s best Para-swim-mers in 2014.

Boon’s nomination wassolidified with an out-standing performance atthe recent Can-Am Para-Swimming Championships

in Miami. He won doublegold — capturing the men’sS14 50 metre and 200 metrefreestyle events. His 200clocking of 2:05.86 estab-lished a new Senior S14Canadian record.

Can-Ams served as theselection meet for ParaPan Pacs, as well as forCommonwealth Games.Those athletes are part of the“2020 Track” group believedto have podium potential for

the 2020 Paralympics andare on track to qualify forthe 2016 Paralympics in Riode Janeiro.

“This group of swimmersare making huge strides

to stay with the rest of theworld as we head into a veryimportant second year ofthe quadrennial on the roadto Rio,” said Para-swim-ming National Coach Craig

McCord.The Canadian team

also features North Delta’sDanielle Kisser who swimsout of the Sungod SwimClub.

Winskill Dolphins Swim Club member Dalton Boon’s provincialrecord swim in Miami last month helped earned him a spot onthe Canadian team for this summer’s Para-swimming PacificChampionships in California.

South Delta trio help Blues win titleA trio of South Delta

players helped the RichmondBlues win an unprecedentedfifth consecutive provin-cial title at last month’sB.C. Hockey JuvenileChampionships.

Mike Avery, Adam Ensand goalie Jamie Guichonwere all returning players asthe Blues not only continuedtheir dynasty but triumphedon home ice at MinoruArenas.

Richmond’s victory washardly a surprise but it tookplenty of work and a littlehelp to get there. The regularseason champions came outflat in a 4-2 opening gameloss to North Delta. Theyclimbed back into conten-tion with solid wins overCoquitlam (4-1) and Langley(6-0). Surrey then handedthem a heartbreaking 5-4loss, notching the winnerwith just 23 seconds remain-ing. However, the spoilerproved to be Juan De Fucaas the Island squad producedties against Coquitlam andSurrey, opening the door forthe Blues to clinch secondand earn a rematch withunbeaten North Delta.

The Blues took controlwith a strong second perioden route to a convincing 6-1win. Avery scored a pair ofgoals.

Earlier this season, Enswas among the individualplayers to be honoured atthe 32nd annual PacificCoast Amateur HockeyAssociation ScholarshipTournament — receiving abursary award.

The Blues are coached byMaurice Hamlin and his sonRichard.

Maurice, a Tsawwassenresident, is a Delta SportsHall of Fame inductee anda past winner of the B.C.Hockey and PCAHA Coachof the Year Awards for his

outstanding years of serviceand dedication — helping to

extend the careers of manyplayers.
