Taylor Peters received a 77-year-old reminder this week of hislong and successful first season ofpro hockey.The 22-year-old from

Tsawwassen brought the CalderCup home for a few days afterhelping the Texas Stars capturethe American Hockey Leaguechampionship back in June.Peters played for the Dallas

Stars top farm team after signinga three-year, entry-level deal withthe NHL club.He earlier spent five seasons in

the Western Hockey League withthe Portland Winterhawks wherehe capped his junior career witha league title and came within agame of winning the MemorialCup.In Texas, Peters played under

new Vancouver Canucks headcoach Willie Desjardins where hecontinued to develop his game asa promising two-way player. For more on Peters first sea-

son as a pro, see Page 32.

A revised proposal for a multi-family development in LadnerVillage will be presented at apublic information meeting nextWednesday evening.The session at the Ladner

Community Centre will mark thesecond attempt to develop a siteon 47A Avenue and follows acontroversial proposal that createdmuch public outcry earlier thissummer.

A five-storey, 47-unit condoapplication was presented at aprevious meeting, which quicklybecame heated with residentsvoicing their objections.The original proposal would

have required amendments to theOfficial Community Plan as wellas the Ladner Area Plan.The revised proposal has been

scaled back to a three-storey, 23-unit townhouse development.According to the Corporation

of Delta, an OCP amendmentwould not be required as the pro-

posed density of 75 units per hect-are (30 units per acre) is less thanthe 112 units per hecatre (45 unitsper acre) permitted in the LadnerArea Plan.

A2 The Delta Optimist September 5, 2014

The proposed three-sto-rey project is consistentwith the three-storey maxi-mum allowable under thearea plan.The Skov family acquired

four properties at the corner

of 47A Avenue and 48BStreet, consolidating the sitein an attempt to construct aresidential complex.In a recent interview,

Rolly Skov said his familyand their architect listened

to concerns of nearby resi-dents and were willing tocome up with somethingthats more in keepingwith the current OfficialCommunity Plan, eventhough its been many yearssince the document has seenany significant changes tomeet current needs.

With the outcry thatwe had, and wed need arevised OCP on that site, Idont think (Delta) councilwould want to deal withthat. So we decided how wecan work it with townhous-es and what were workingon is that everything fits inthe OCP and the only revi-

sions would be minor, hesaid.Approximately 200 peo-

ple attended the first publicinformation meeting and alarge crowd is expected forthe next session.Next Wednesdays meet-

ing will run from 7 to 9p.m.

Delta South MLA VickiHuntington says both sidesare to blame for the stale-mate in the contract disputebetween B.C. teachers andthe province.I just feel that the whole

system is broken... This isridiculous, she said thisweek.They have got to start

accepting the reality of eachothers position, said theindependent MLA.The province and the

B.C. Teachers Federationhave been locked in a con-tract standoff for monthsand, seemingly, have madelittle headway toward com-ing to an agreement.Late last month, as the

start of the school yearloomed, veteran mediatorVince Ready was broughtin to try and help foster asettlement.However, after two days

of exploratory meetings,Ready walked away fromnegotiations saying the twosides are too far apart formediation.Huntington said both

sides should to take every-thing else off the table andfocus solely on the provi-sions that affect students mainly class size andcomposition.The government does

not have the resources theBCTF seems to think theydo, she said, adding the

province has to removeridiculous demands theteachers union will neveragree to mainly the pro-vision the BCTF maintainswill allow the governmentto override any court deci-sions on class size andcomposition.The BCTF has launched,

and won, two court cases

over legislation that thecourt found interfered withteachers collective bargain-ing and voided the termsof a negotiated agreement.The government is currentlyappealing the latest courtdecision, however, a provi-sion in the governmentscontract proposal to teach-ers would supersede any

court rulings.Their proposal, E80,

would supersede andreplace all previous classsize, class composition, andspecialist teacher provi-sions, said BCTF presidentJim Iker in a press confer-ence Wednesday.I think the government

has to find the money for

class size and composition,Huntington said.Huntington was away

this week when parentsand students rallied outsideher constituency office inLadner, however she saidmembers of her staff spenttime speaking with thosewho had gathered to call foran end to the dispute.

Both sides to blame: MLAVicki Huntington says parties in teachers dispute arent recognizing reality of the situation

A Tsawwassen residentfrustrated at the ongoingcontract dispute betweengovernment and teachershas begun his own protest,hoping to spread the wordabout some of his ideas toend the feuding.Chuck Hamilton

appeared outside PebbleHill Elementary Tuesdayon what would have beenthe first day of classes toprotest not only the stancetaken by the B.C. TeachersFederation, but also thegovernments daycare sup-port program.Hamilton, who planned

to bring his one-man protestto South Delta SecondaryWednesday, is advocatingteachers across B.C. walkaway from the BCTF inunison.

I find myself primar-ily against the BCTF andits stand on this case, but Ialso see the rhetoric com-ing from the governmentside is equally wrong andmisplaced.Essentially, what we

find here is that its almostbecome prohibitive to run apublic education system inthe province, so what weregoing to have to do is comeup with more strategicways and better financialpositions. Essentially, thebusiness of running a publicschool system is failing andnobody can really affordto do it the way its beingdone.Starting this week,

parents of public schoolstudents 12 years andunder can register at http://bcparentinfo.ca/ to receive$40 per student for eachday of the strike. Parents

and primary caregivers areeligible for the TemporaryEducation Support forParents program, whichis also available for hostparents for internationalstudents.Hamilton suggests

instead of the program,teachers be given $25 foreach student in the class.He explained an aver-

age primary school classof 28 students would workout to approximately $700per day, per teacher. Fromthis amount teachers couldpay their own benefits andrelated costs while the gov-ernment and the BCTF con-sider contract options andsped up negotiations.Hamilton wonders if

union members would beprepared to turn their backon their leadership and goback to work under thoseconditions.


Saying the BCTF is failing in its obligation to support teaching and learning, Tsawwassen residentChuck Hamilton is also opposed to the province handing out $40 per day per child to parents fordaycare during the teachers strike.

Put an endto staringcontest

TEDMURPHY

MURPHYSLAW

With the first week of school now lostand no end in sight to the teachers dis-pute, the government remains firm thatit wont legislate an end to the labourunrest.I guess it could be considered noble

that Victoria doesnt want to use the ham-mer at its disposal, as its done in the pastwith teachers, opting instead to try andfind a resolution at the bargaining table.It doesnt want to appear inflexible ordictatorial, and is hoping to avoid the bit-terness a heavy-handed approach wouldincite.That makes sense in a theoretical way,

but given the acrimonious history on thisfile, that ship sailed long ago.The two sides have been going at this

for the last 18 months and theyre stillso far apart even accomplished mediatorVince Ready doesnt see enough middleground from which to broker a deal. Sohow is it all going to end? No one can besure, but badly will likely be one of thetamer adjectives to describe the eventualoutcome.Theres likely to be little movement in

governments position, an intransigencethat has drawn the ire of BCTF leaders.Teachers could reduce their demands andessentially accept whats on the table, butgiven whats transpired thus far, thatsanother unlikely scenario. What wereleft with is both sides standing resolute(although easier said than done for teach-ers who are going without a paycheque),waiting for the other to blink.Its one thing to keep half a million

kids out of class while the two partieshammer out a deal, but its quite anotherto close schools to engage in a staringcontest. If negotiations were ongoingand progress was being made, then by allmeans let the process play itself out, buttheyre not even at the table, much lessmaking any headway.Imposing a contract is undoubtedly a

last resort, a step neither employer noremployee wants to take, but exactly whatare our options at this point? It doesntappear theyre any closer to reaching anagreement today than they were back inthe spring, so wed be foolish to thinkanother week or month of the samewould result in anything different. Andwhere will we be a month from now bytaking that approach?Something needs to happen soon

before the school year is materiallyimpacted. Maybe thats mediation, orbinding arbitration or some other form ofnegotiated settlement, or perhaps its yetanother imposed contract.One way or another this thing has to

get resolved in order to get students backin class.

Here we are again fall is uponus, the PNE has come and gone,its been raining, summer flowersare past their glory and wait kids are NOT back in school.Good grief, whats going on?Indeed, what is going on? The

strike continues and the B.C.government says it will not orderteachers back.Some are suggesting they want

to end public schools. The educa-tion portfolio has been a problemfor B.C. governments for more thana decade.The B.C. Supreme Court and

Appeal Court have both ruledagainst the government and infavour with the B.C. TeachersFederation, and the government isdesperately trying to delay or avoidcomplying with the courts deci-

sions.This legal tangle goes back to

2002. The Campbell government,with Christy Clark as educationminister, broke the labour agree-ment. Both the B.C. SupremeCourt and Appeal Court said: Youcannot do that.The courts decisions would

cause the government to reinstatea number of teaching and supportpositions to the school system.Rather than agreeing to do whatthe courts have ordered, the gov-ernment says it cant afford it. Itwould compromise the provincialbudget. So, the Liberals push itaside, but can they?Government has estimated

the cost of meeting teachersdemands as hundreds of millions.Compare that to a recent settlementwhere B.C. agreed to pay $750 mil-lion to California to settle the B.C.Hydro Powerex matter. No extramoney for education?Some think pay scales are

the sticking points. Enough hasemerged to convince me that payis not the issue. They are closeenough that a good bargaining ses-sion would sort that out. Beside,public records show B.C.s educa-

tion spending is about $1,000 perstudent less than the Canada aver-age.So why is the strike continuing?Leading up to our last elec-

tion, Premier Christy Clark com-mitted to balancing the budget.Complying with the courts ordercould destroy that goal. In thecurrent negotiations, governmentwants to compromise what thecourts have decided. BCTF saysno.Some suggest the contract lan-

guage demanded by governmentwould allow Victoria to tear up anyagreement if the court goes againstthem this fall. So teachers, parentsand students are hung out to dry tosatisfy a political agenda.Some speculate the government

will stand by and hope the teacherscapitulate as theyre not getting anystrike pay or compensation. Somesay teachers are sacrificing andwont back down. Whatever, thestudents are losing.What do you suspect would hap-

pen if you or I decided to disregardor violate a court ruling?Lets get students back to school

even if I have to pay highertaxes.

Liberal govt is trying to pushaside previous court rulings

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: Labour Day mes-sages, Aug. 29

We all need money tosurvive and have some tospare in the future, so it isbaffling whenever intransi-gent union leaders utter theword profit with disdain.Do they believe it is

immoral to practice fiscalausterity? Labour cannotexist without business andbusinesses cannot functionif they do not earn a profit.There is no such thing

as good debt and the com-missars of organized labourare content to drown in it.I would challenge them todefine a fair profit. Afterall, they want the value ofthe stocks in their pension

funds to soar.If unions care so much

about controlling the costof living, then why do ourmunicipal property taxesand utility rates increaseevery year? Public serviceunions like the BCGEU andCUPE, with their incestu-ous relationship to the NDP,have done nothing to savethe public money and livein a false economy wherethe government is the sinequa non.They should respect the

millions of working handsin Canadas staple industries like oil, which they hatepassionately that buttresstheir professions.People should take the

time to educate them-

selves about their workingrights under the law. Whenthey become sufficientlyinformed and utilize theirrights properly, labourunions would be virtuallyunnecessary.Back in March, work-

ers at a Volkswagen plantin Chattanooga, Tennesseevoted against joining themoribund United AutoWorkers. Like them, I pre-fer to keep every cent ofmy paycheque rather thanindirectly subsidizing mypolitical enemies.Labour Day is an occa-

sion to appreciate the hon-est working citizen, notredundant entities that liveon nostalgia.

Editor:Re: Port anticipating

phased adoption of shorepower, letter to the editor,Aug. 29, and Patio table

dust at odds with coal portsreassurance, letter to the

editor, Aug. 29I would like to respond to

the letters written by PeterXotta and Cecilia Tanner asboth letters directly reflectPort Metro Vancouvers ver-sion of the truth.First, Xotta states that

shore power is a relativelynew technology as a rea-son for its very slow intro-

duction. I was plugging-inCanadian Forces navywarships to shore power 35years ago, and it wasnt newtechnology even then. Thereis absolutely nothing new orrevolutionary about shore-to-ship electrical supply.A closer approximation

of the truth would be toadmit that PMV and thevisiting vessels are reluc-tant to spend the moneyrequired.The second version of the

truth that PMV wants usto believe is that the blackstuff covering Tanners

patio table is not coal dust.The owners of the 800 orso vessels berthed in thePoint Roberts Marina whomust constantly scrub theirblackened topsides joke thatPMV insists the black stuffcant possibly be coal dust,so it must be bug poop.Could PMV executives,

for once, not spin the truthand be honest with citizensof the Lower Mainland? Weare reasonable people whowould just like to be treatedwith some respect, even ifthe truth hurts.

Stephen Holding

Editor:I would like to take this

Editor:Letters express frustra-

tion when Delta councilconsiders zone changeapplications that violate ourOfficial Community Plan(OCP), a plan prepared athuge cost and seeminglyendless public input. Thecommunity has already spo-ken and change should besummarily rejected.The problem is the Local

Government Act. It requiresDelta consider such applica-tions. It reads, in part: 895(1) A local government thathas adopted an officialcommunity plan bylaw ora zoning bylaw must, bybylaw, define proceduresunder which an ownerof land may apply for anamendment to the plan orbylaw or for the issue of apermit under this Part. (2)A local government mustconsider every applicationfor (a) an amendment to aplan or bylaw referred toin subsection (1), or (b) theissue of a permit under thispart that requires a resolu-tion of a council or board.Why then must we suffer

the strife and expense of

preparing an OCP? The actsays this about OCPs: 875(1) An official communityplan is a statement of objec-tives and policies to guidedecisions on planning andland use management...If its only a guide and

a landowner has the rightto have council considerhis application for change,do we need one? The actsays: 876 (1) A local gov-ernment may, by bylaw,adopt one or more officialcommunity plans. It readsmay, not shall. We dontneed one unless we decideit offers benefits. Does it?An OCP provides council

with insight on commu-nity thinking. It benefitsproponents of change forthe same reason. A projectapplication requiring zon-ing and OCP change can bevery expensive not justfees but preliminary designsand endless studies per-haps hundreds of thousandsor a million dollars. I sus-pect the Southlands applica-tion far exceeded that. AnOCP offers proponents abasis for risk assessment.So can OCPs be cost

effective? Thats the ques-tion we should be asking.Consider the Tsawwassen

Area Plan prepared in theearly 1990s and revisedrecently. The 1990s com-mittee was open to speakersasking to address it, butheld no public hearings.The draft plan requiredrework a few times aftercouncil took it public, buteventually passed.The recent commit-

tee debated the plan forover a year, invited manyspeakers, held many largepublic hearings involvingextensive overtime staffparticipation ... and neverproduced a plan that couldpass. Staff finally took overand did the job.It seems to me that, at

least as far as Tsawwassenis concerned, an OCPshould be considered areference document use-ful for council, developersand those preparing com-ments for a public hearing.It should never again beconsidered for an updateby a committee. Its just notworth it.

Editor:Re: Its time for a crowd-ed waterfront, Murphys

Law, Aug. 20Ladners waterfront has

been the subject since itsinception over a 100 yearsago as a fishing and farm-ing centre.I have been personally

involved since my father,the late George Massey,established his business onthe Ladner waterfront over75 years ago. He built it

on the very site of the firstcar ferry from Ladner toRichmond.The Ladner waterfront

and Ladners Landing werethe centre of commercebefore Delta was incorpo-rated.Ladners waterfront and

the whole of the lowlandin Delta was once nothingmore than marshland at themouth of the Fraser Riverestuary, swarming withwildlife and estuarine life.

Its history needs to bepreserved and displayed.What better way than toestablish a Fraser RiverEstuary Interpretive Centreon the Ladner waterfront?A letter in the Delta

Optimist in 1964 by FredMacIntyre suggested estab-lishing the first B.C. fish-ing museum on the Ladnerwaterfront. That would havebeen an excellent centennialproject.In 1974, Ken Taylor,

a commercial fishermanand member of the DeltaMuseum Society, alongwith Michael Duncan, whowas the curator at the time,promoted the idea of a bet-ter display and interpretivecentre in Ladner.In 1998, a 100-page fea-

sibility study on establish-ing a salmon interpretationcentre in Delta was under-taken by the Delta Chamberof Commerce but neveracted upon.

In 2009, I approachedDelta council with theidea of using the SevenSeas building as a site forsuch an interpretive cen-tre and was denied. I thenformed the Delta FishingCommittee under the aus-pices of the Delta MuseumSociety and requested assis-tance in this matter and wasdenied once again.We have now formed

our own Delta Fishing &Heritage Society with the

aim of establishing a FraserRiver Estuary InterpretiveCentre, preferably on theLadner waterfront.Our society is looking

for support from the peopleof Delta, Delta council,the business communityand the Tsawwassen FirstNation.Maybe then we will get

that action on the waterfrontthat was established over acentury ago.

Jade is a lovely girl who was surrendered to the shelterbecause she was a little unpredictable with the 3 yearold child in the home. Do to these circumstances we feelthat Jade would do best in a household with children over10 years old. She has lived with a male cat in the past, soshe may be a good candidate for a multi-cat household!

We hope you will take the time to get to know her,she really is a lovely cat!!

MIn Painted Horses by Malcolm

Brooks, one of the characters, talk-ing about how she ended up in hercareer, said, I suppose you becomewhat you continue to be without evenknowing it. How true.Although there are certain big

decisions we face, to a large extentour lives are shaped by the smallthings: the hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute thoughts, attitudes andchoices that make up the bulk of ourdays.We tend to obsess (sometimes too

much) over the big decisions butpay far too little attention to the rest.Thoughts become attitudes, whichbecome actions, which become hab-its, which become who I am. So webecome what we continue to be with-out even knowing it.That quote ought to stop every

one of us in our tracks. If we are notbecoming on purpose we can eas-ily drift along until, before we knowit, we have become something thatwe never intended nor wanted.And it happened so gradually wedidnt notice.When the prophet Jeremiah was

lamenting the devastation his peoplewere experiencing, he attributed partof their problem to a failure to con-sider their future. (Lamentations1:9) Later he pleads with them: Letus examine our ways and test them,and let us return to the LORD.(Lamentations 3:40 NIV)In other words, lets look where we

are and the direction we are headed,figure out where we want to be, andmake the necessary course correc-tions. And that includes our relation-ship with God.

The public has an oppor-tunity to comment on thepending review of the pro-posed Terminal 2 containerterminal project.The Canadian

Environmental AssessmentAgency is gathering feed-back on its draft terms ofreference to establish anindependent review panelfor the comprehensive envi-ronmental assessment of theproject.T2 is a proposed three-

berth container terminalat Roberts Bank, a facilitythat would be constructedon a new man-made islandadjacent to the existingDeltaport container termi-nal.Port Metro Vancouver

last year filed a projectdescription with the CEAAand B.C.s EnvironmentalAssessment Office.Federal Environment

Minister Leona Aglukkaqsubsequently announced theproject would be referredto an independent reviewpanel, a more stringent andtime-consuming environ-mental review process.The CEAA then devel-

oped the draft terms of ref-erence, which will establishthe mandate of the reviewpanel, its composition aswell as the process andtimelines for the environ-mental assessment.The agency is accept-

ing written comments untilSept. 22.The port authority, mean-

while, is continuing fieldstudies this month as part of

ongoing environmental andtechnical work for T2.When the studies are

completed, the port willsubmit an environmentalimpact statement, expectedto occur in early 2015.Once submitted, the fed-eral assessment would belaunched and the reviewpanel established severalmonths afterward.The port says T2 would

provide additional capacityof 2.4 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent unit contain-ers) per year to meet fore-casted demand until 2030.For more information on

submitting comments to theCEAA, check the agencyswebsite at ceaa.gc.ca (refer-ence number 80054) or callDebra Myles, panel man-ager, at 603-613-0626 or1-866-582-1884.
