A Tsawwassen dad is now pay-ing the price for taking a stand inlast year’s dispute between B.C.teachers and the provincial gov-ernment.
Last summer, Vytas Vaitkusrefused to pay the school portionof his property tax bill because,he said, with schools not issu-
ing report cards in light of theteachers’ strike, he felt his familywas not getting the full servicesexpected.
It was in late June, Vaitkus said,a letter from the school districtinformed him that his youngerson, who was in Grade 6 at thetime, would not receive a reportcard and his older son, who wasin Grade 10, would get a marks-only report card without any addi-
tional comments.The same day he received the
notice from the school district,Vaitkus said, he was scheduledto go to municipal hall to pay hisproperty tax bill.
He decided to pay the bill,minus the school tax portion.
“Don’t get me wrong: We arenot against paying taxes. Oncereport cards are received, we willpay the school portion of our
property taxes,” Vaitkus said in aletter that ran in early September.
A year later, Vaitkus is payingthe price of taking a stand.
With penalties and interest,the family is facing an additional$800 charge on this year’s bill.
“It is what it is,” he said.“We’re making a statement.”
Vaitkus said he decided to paythe fine, even though he was toldthe report cards he wanted would
never be issued, because thecharges would only keep growing.
“I would do it all over again,”he said.
One of the four winning ticketsfor last Friday’s $50 million LottoMax draw was purchased in Delta.
The B.C. Lottery Corporationannounced the only ticket pur-chased in B.C. that will share inthe nationwide lottery prize wasbought here, but wouldn’t saywhether the ticket worth $12.5million was purchased in NorthDelta or South Delta.
The Delta ticket has yet to beredeemed. Winners have one yearto claim their prize.
One of the other winning tick-ets was sold in Ontario and twowere bought in the Prairies.
The odds of winning the LottoMax jackpot are one in 28.6 mil-lion with each $5 play.

NDP names federal candidate
The federal NewDemocratic Party this weekannounced that JeremyLeveque has been named asthe candidate for Delta inthis fall’s general election.
“Jeremy is an accom-plished and dedicated
member of his communityand will be an invaluableaddition to our team,” saidNDP Leader Tom Mulcair.“I look forward to Jeremyjoining us in standing upfor British Columbians.”
A press release issuedstated Leveque was raisedin Delta and is a nationallyrecognized Canadian health
care expert and advocate forevidence-based policy. Heis also committed to fight-ing economic and genderinequality and joins Mulcairin the belief that the econo-my can grow while still pro-tecting the environment.
“Growing up here, Ienjoyed a lot of opportuni-ties that aren’t available in
other places less fortunatethan Delta,” said Leveque inthe press release. “I’m run-ning to join Tom Mulcair aspart of an NDP governmentbecause it is important tome that future generationsget to grow up with thesame opportunities that Ihad.”
Leveque is the third
declared candidate inDelta for the Oct. 19 elec-tion, joining Conservativeincumbent Kerry-LynneFindlay and Liberal CarlaQualtrough.
A reconfigured electoralmap means North Delta andSouth Delta have been com-bined in the new federalriding simply called Delta.
Delta-Richmond EastMP Kerry-Lynne Findlaywas joined by Mayor LoisJackson and representativesfrom several communityorganizations last Friday fora federal funding announce-ment for local Canada Daycelebrations.
Findlay was at Kirkland
House in Ladner toannounce that Delta wouldreceive $9,000 to help withJuly 1st events.
It’s part of $7 million thatwill go to groups across thecountry for Canada Day aswell as National AboriginalDay (June 21) , St.-JeanBaptiste Day (June 24) andCanadian MulticulturalismDay (June 27) events.
The majority of the
funding for Delta will gotoward the Corporation ofDelta’s fireworks display inNorth Delta with the restgoing to events organizedby the Delta Museum, theKirkland House Foundationand Tsawwassen BoundaryBay Lions Club.
“With this funding, ourgovernment is honouring itscommitment to strengthenour communities and to
increase public aware-ness about our history andheritage. I invite BritishColumbians from across theLower Mainland to comeout and take part in theseevents celebrating our pride,our values and our accom-plishments,” said Findlay,the minister of nationalrevenue.
“Canada Day celebra-tions in North Delta alone
attract nearly 7,000 peoplewith diverse cultural back-grounds,” added Jackson.“The government ofCanada’s funding for thisannual event helps us toprovide free entertainment,fireworks, games and activi-ties for our community and,most importantly, gives usall an opportunity to cometogether to celebrate beingCanadian.”

Delta benefits fromstrong community resilien-cy and good access to pri-mary care, according to thelargest community healthsurvey ever conducted inB.C.
Fraser Health andVancouver Coastal Healthlast week released thefindings of the My HealthMy Community Survey,which gathered data frommore than 33,000 LowerMainland adults. It’s aimedat helping local govern-ments, community groupsand health agencies withplanning decisions andpolicy development.
“The survey is like ablood-test for our com-munities,” said Dr. VictoriaLee, chief medical healthofficer for Fraser Health.“The results provide us withvaluable information thatour medical health officerscan use to ‘diagnose’ thehealth of our region. Wecan then focus our workwith municipalities andlocal stakeholders to createa roadmap of good healthfor the future.”
Some of the highlightsfor Delta include overtwo-thirds of respondentsreporting strong commu-nity belonging, while over90 per cent have access toa family doctor, which isabove the Metro Vancouveraverage of 83 per cent.
The survey also found
there’s room for improve-ment in Delta when itcomes to eating habits andphysical activity. As well,over 70 per cent of respon-dents commute by car com-pared to Metro Vancouver’s55 per cent.
The report found thenumber of people in Deltasaying both their generalhealth and mental healthwere excellent was higherthan the Metro Vancouveraverages for those cat-egories, however, reportedcases of high blood pres-sure, heart disease andarthritis were higher inDelta.
The report found 69per cent of Deltans feel astrong sense of communitybelonging, compared to56 per cent across MetroVancouver.
The report noted thatacross Metro Vancouver,recent immigrants wereless likely to report astrong sense of communitybelonging or have the samenumber of people theycould confide in.
In Delta, householdincomes under $40,000stood at 21.6 per centcompared to 31.7 per centfor Metro Vancouver as awhole, while 24 per centof Delta households earned$120,000 and above. Thereport noted that house-holds with annual incomesin the higher range weretwo times more likely toreport excellent or verygood general health.

Spencer said he talkedto a friend who climbedKilimanjaro a few years agowho said while training andpreparation are certainlyneeded, it’s basically just along hike. Altitude sicknesscan also be a factor.
The Ascent for
Alzheimer’s website notesthe mountain is 19,340 feet(or 5,895 metres)
They each need to raise$10,000 to take part. Agolf tournament fundraiseris planned for June 27 atTsawwassen Springs fol-lowed by a function, includ-ing a silent auction, at theCoast Tsawwassen Inn.

A good car, I maintain,should have four tires, acomfortable interior, agood-sized trunk and adecent pair of wipers. Oh,and a reliable engine.
These are the items onmy must-have list.
My must-have list isfront and centre in ourhousehold discussions thesedays, given that we will betrading in the current vehi-cle in the coming monthsand hunting for somethingnew.
That something newis far from a slam-dunk.When we cast about con-sidering the possibilities,the husband and I tend toconduct the research thevisible way.
That is to say, by eyeball-ing cars on the road.
“Oh look,” said my hus-band the other day when wewere heading out to visit
friends. “There’s an AudiA4. I like the Audi A4.”
“There’s a Tiguan,” Isaid. “I like that car. Oh,and that Mazda’s nice too.”
Most people, I reckon, dotheir car-shopping a littlemore rigorously. Which isto say, they open hoods,read consumer reports andgo for test drives. They domore than ogle what rollsby.
At some point, of course,we will do the rigorousthing, but for now, at least,it’s all about the ogling.
Our eyes are all over theroad — and our wants areall over the map.
“Do you like SUVs?”asked the husband.
“Sure,” I said.“Convertibles?”“Sure.”“Compact four-doors?”“Sure.”You get what I mean.We have also decided
that we like red cars, greencars, silver cars, black carsand white cars. We like carsthat are comfortable to sitin, cars that handle well,cars that have fairly lowmileage and cars that have
power windows.Talk about narrowing it
down.“Don’t all cars have
power windows now?” Iasked the husband.
“No,” he said. “There arestill some really, really oldcars out there with manualwindows.”
“But we don’t want areally, really old car, right?”I asked.
“No,” he said. “Wedon’t.”
At least that much isclear. Nothing ancient.Nothing dented. And noth-ing without a muffler.
“Hey!” I said to the hus-band as we continued onour way. “There’s a FordEscape! I like those! Andthat Acura! Like that too!”
He did his own ogling.“What about that Land
Rover?” he said. “Lovethem! Oh, and that SubaruOutback! Pretty darnsweet!”
And so the ramblingresearch goes — for now,anyway. We don’t know themake, or the model, or thestyle. We just know that itmust be a car.
Car shopping is as easyas getting on the road

Can’t takecredit fornothing
TEDMURPHY
MURPHY’SLAW
Something tells me that excludingVicki Huntington might actually turn outto be a good thing.
Now before those ardent supporters ofour independent MLA, and I know thereare many of them out there, begin sharp-ening their knives, please give me theopportunity to explain.
It was clearly a partisan move toexclude Huntington from last month’smeeting between provincial HealthMinister Terry Lake and the contingentfrom Delta Hospital looking to restorethe surgical program. Delta North LiberalMLA Scott Hamilton arranged the sit-down in Vancouver so I guess he and/orthe minister was entitled to pick the guestlist, but as Ian Robertson so ably put itlast week, Huntington is the MLA forDelta South, which is where the hospitalis located, and she’s also the one whopresented the 11,000-name petition onbehalf of Friends of Delta Hospital in thelegislature.
In a non-partisan world, it would havemade abundant sense for her to be there,but that’s obviously not the reality we livein. Her exclusion could, however, signalsome hope for a resolution to the issuethat doctors brought forward last fall.
The reason the Liberals don’t want thetwo-term independent involved in thediscussions is because they’re loath togive her any credit. Parties of all stripesand at all levels go to great lengths toensure they score all the political pointsthey can from an issue and take equalpains to make sure their opponents areshut out.
The Liberals are only going to getcredit in this case, however, if somethingactually happens, so does that mean anexpansion of surgical services at DeltaHospital is in the offing? Only the min-ister and the top executives at FraserHealth know the answer to that one,but an optimist could certainly view theHuntington snub as a good sign.
The situation reminds me a bit of thebattle to get funding to dredge the sec-ondary channels of the Fraser River, acause our independent MLA championedfor several years before the Liberals, whocontrol the provincial purse, got involved.By the time the funding was securedfrom a variety of sources, we had politi-cians from all three levels of governmentfalling over each other trying to takecredit.
Despite all the political maneuvering,I suspect the vast majority of people thatwork in and are served by Delta Hospitalcould care less where the money comesfrom or who gets credit for providing it;they just want to see their health care ser-vices restored.

The headline read: “Tie vote atcouncil leaves townhouse plan inlimbo.” I found that quite puzzling.
Usually, there are no tie votes,which is one reason it caught myattention. Unfortunately, a tie hap-pened this time due to the absenceof Coun. Robert Campbell dueto illness. That’s not news anyonelikes to hear.
The townhouse plan in questionis in what could be considered theheart of Ladner, close to the vil-lage, parks and the dike. A previ-ous incarnation of the proposal,a 47-unit condo development,was loudly opposed when it camebefore the public initially. Therevised plan, down to 23 largerunits, was now being considered.
The vote ended in a tie. We don’teven allow a tie in hockey any-more, there’s always overtime and ashootout. I was intrigued.
I went online and watched theDelta council meeting where the
proposal was brought forward.There was the usual public hearing,much smaller than those that makethe papers like the Southlands andMarina Gardens. Neighbours andothers came out and supported oropposed the proposal for variousreasons. In total, there was littlemore than a half-dozen that spokethis time.
Then I listened to council mem-bers give their reasons for approv-ing or denying the proposal. Itwas a little tough to follow — themotion was to deny, so you eithersupported or denied the denial.Sounds a little like a Quebec refer-endum question before the ClarityAct.
What I found interesting was theway each councillor approached theproposal. They had good reasonsfor their vote, which I’m sure hadbeen discussed behind closed doorsprior to the public eye of a councilmeeting. In the end, it was three fordenial, three opposed to the denial.I think. However they got there, itwas three yes, three no. And manyseemed to be on the edge of goingthe other way.
So what’s so great about a tievote? It was the diversity of whovoted which way. People that ranwith each other during the electionvoted differently. There was nohorse-trading to secure a vote one
way or the other, no following thelead, no toeing the party line. Eachcouncillor made their own decisionbased on the information at hand.
The usual news we hear day inand day out, even in other munici-palities, is X party voted for, Yparty voted against. Granted, theremay be good reasons they vote thatway, but it’s refreshing on occasionto see someone break party ranksand vote for what they believe in.Free votes are all too uncommon.Except in Delta.
I like the fact this council dis-agrees. I like the fact there isdebate and discussion, and ulti-mately a tie. While it’s not great forthe developer, a variance shouldn’tbe a slam-dunk, no matter howmany times it comes forward.
What it does show is we have theclosest thing to a perfect democra-cy around — people we elect mak-ing decisions freely, for the good ofthe community.
This time, a tie sounds good.Council meetings are long enough,so overtime never works. And ashootout just doesn’t sound right.
Get well soon, Robert.Brad Sherwin, MBA has over
25 years experience in marketing,public relations and business strat-egy. He is currently the director ofmarketing for a national non-profitorganization.
Tie vote shows democracy isalive and well at local level

Letters to the Editor
Editor:Re: Cyclist’s injuries
show what can happenwhen dog not on leash, let-
ter to the editor, June 3It was a terrible incident
that happened when thedog ran in front of DebbieMaloway’s bike, causing herto be injured. I understandher frustration as there aresigns saying to leash yourdog, but there are two sidesto every story.
I have stopped walkingmy leashed dog on the dike
due to the disrespect somecyclists show other users ofthe dike.
On numerous occasionsI have been walking myleashed dog when a cyclisthas come flying up behindus and swung out aroundus. No “yell out” announc-ing their arrival, no bell asa warning. Some are goingat such a speed one wouldthink they are doing a timetrial for a race.
I don’t have eyes in theback of my head so please
announce yourself whenapproaching from behindand slow down. I hate tothink what would happen ifyou spooked a horse whileit was on the dike.
If you terrify my dog likethat, and he jumps out infront of you, thereby drag-ging me in front of you too,we all get hurt badly.
It’s also inconsiderate toweave through walkers atany sort of speed. Wouldyou drive a car like that?
The other problem is
cyclists that ride two orthree abreast. I have seennumerous dogs, bothleashed and unleashed, thatare terrified of bikes andpanic when they see thebikes coming. I believe it’sthe law on the road thatcyclists ride single file andit should be the case on thedikes as well.
All users of the dike needto be respectful of eachother and then incidentslike this wouldn’t happen.
C. Moeller
Mutual respect required so all dikeusers are able to enjoy area safely
Editor:Re: Delta gets tougher
on trees, June 3I’m sorry Delta coun-
cil has tightened thetree removal bylaw onthe advice of the DeltaNaturalists without askingthe rest of us what we think.In my view, the household-
er’s right to remove onetree a year was necessary toallow for gardening, viewsand neighbourly relations.
I predict that manyhouseholders will preservetheir autonomy by choppingdown perfectly nice treesbefore they get big enoughto fall under the bylaw. Or
people won’t plant trees inthe first place.
Are the environmentalvalues worth the tradeoffs?Maybe not.
It’s not necessarily thecase that big old treesare the best carbon sinks.There’s some modern think-ing that young, vigorous
trees are best for that.As for the argument that
big old trees are best foreagles, eagles were rare ageneration ago but localpopulations have rebuilt.We should no longer besacrificing other humanvalues for their sake.
Gail Neff Bell
Editor:Re: Sprinkling restric-
tions in place, June 3This article implored us
to “do the right thing andconserve water wheneverpossible,” stating one hour
of sprinkling uses as muchwater as 25 toilet flushes,five loads of laundry andfive dishwasher loads.
I can only imagine howmuch of our precious drink-ing water is wasted by
power-washing drivewaysand sidewalks. And thenoise they create is anothermatter. Why are there nobylaws in place restrictingthe use of power washers?
Ellen Beck
Residents should have ability to remove one tree a year
Water restrictions should extend beyond lawnsprinkling to include noisy power washers

A pair of South Delta Delta rowers will be compet-ing in the same shell for Canada at next month’s PanAmerican Games
Tsawwassen’s Brendan Hodge and Ladner’s MaxLattimer were among 26 athletes nominated by RowingCanada Aviron last week. The Pan American Games willtake place from July 10-26, with the rowing competitionbeing held on the Royal Henley course in St. Catherines.
Hodge and Lattimer were both named to the light-weight men’s four crew where they will be joined byOntario’s Nicolas Pratt and and Eric Woelfl They arecoached by Al Morrow and based out of Rowing Canada’sHigh Performance Centre in London, ON.
Hodge, 30, resumed his international rowing careerafter being focused on his university studies for severalyears, attending Harvard, then law school at UBC. It waswatching the 2012 Summer Olympics that inspired him toreturn to the water.
He received the blessing of his employer — Vancouverlaw firm Lawson Lundell — and moved across the coun-
try to train in London two years ago. The goal is to get toRio in 2016 for his Olympic debut.
Hodge first got started in competitive rowing atVancouver College and later attended Brentwood Collegewhich features a powerhouse high school program basedat Mill Bay on Vancouver Island.
Lattimer is one of the country’s top up-and-comingrowers who was identified by 2008 Olympic gold medal-ist Ben Rutledge during a Team B.C. identification campin his Grade 11 year at Vancouver College.
He spent one year at the University of Western Ontariobefore returning home to row under Mike Pierce at UBC.Lattimer then earned a spot on the national team and puthis biology studies at UBC on hold to train full-time asa carded athlete out of London. The long-term plan isto compete with his younger brother Aaron at the 2020Summer Olympics in Tokyo. He has an excellent chanceof getting to Rio first.
Hodge and Lattimer were also in Canada’s lightweightfours boat last summer — finishing eighth and 10th atWorld Cup events in Switzerland and France respectively.They were also 13th at the World Championships.

The Delta Islanders rode 46-saveperformance of Ryland Hood to acritical win in their quest for a toptwo finish in the B.C. Junior “A”Lacrosse League.
The second-year goaltender wasoutstanding as the Islanders toppledthe Victoria Shamrocks 12-7 onSaturday in Ladner, capping a mem-orable day that began with the club’sfirst-ever alumni game. The resultnot only kept the Islanders (10-3-0)ahead of the Shamrocks (8-4-0) inthe race for second place, it clinchedthe season series (2-0) with onemeeting still remaining.
Coming off a disappointing 15-14 loss to the sixth place LangleyThunder (3-8-1) two nights earlier,Delta needed to rebound in a bigway to avoid its fourth loss in sixgames. Hood was up for challenge,having missed the Langley game dueto exams at UBC.
“Ryland really rose to the occa-
sion and proved why he is my guy,”said Islanders head coach GregRennie who has been coachingHood for the past four seasons. “Hehas really been bogged down withnon-lacrosse commitments for a lotof the season but finally those areeasing off and I expect to be evenbetter going forward.”
Hood was at his best in thesecond period when Delta wasshorthanded for an extended periodafter Patrick Thornill was accesseda match penalty for his alterca-tion with Steve Ackinclose. TheShamrocks managed just two goalson 23 shots and the hosts took acomfortable 9-5 lead into the thirdperiod.
“It was probably our most com-plete game of the season,” addedRennie
Evan Messenger and ShawnRichardson paced the attack withfive points each, including twogoals. Tre LeClaire and Chase Frasereach scored twice, while Jon Phillipsadded a goal and three assists.
