Message from Mayor Jackson and Delta Council

Going green: going strong in Delta

Here is a snapshot of some of Delta’s environmental protection

initiatives and greenhouse gas reduction programs.

Burns Bog Ramsar Designation Update

As directed by Council, Delta is working with the Burns Bog

partner agencies (Environment Canada, the BC Ministry of

Environment, and Metro Vancouver) to prepare an application

for the designation of Burns Bog and the surrounding Provincial

Wildlife Management Areas as a Ramsar Wetland of International

Significance. The draft application will go before Delta Council

and the other partner agencies for approval prior to submission.

Delta continues its work to restore Burns Bog to a natural

functioning wetland, as set out in the Burns Bog Ecological

Conservancy Area Management Plan. More questions about the

bog? Visit Delta’s Burns Bog website at www.burnsbog.ca

Rain Garden Program

To enhance our green space, Delta’s Engineering Department has been installing rain gardens in and around Delta roadways and at several elementary schools. These rain gardens are designed to intercept storm water and allow it to infiltrate the soil for absorption by plants. Delta staff has developed a complementary rain garden curriculum for Grade 4 and 5 students. For more information visit www.corp.delta.bc.ca/raingarden

Want to participate in storm drain

marking in your neighbourhood?

Call Climate Action & Environment at (604) 946-3253 to borrow a kit. Our kit allows you to paint up to 30 yellow fish on storm drains in an effort to draw awareness to the fact that these drain to sensitive habitats. This is a great free activity for Brownies, Cubs and school classes.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects

The Corporation of Delta continues to make progress with our Climate Change Initiative. Notable projects completed to date include:

• Delta’s gold rated green fleet • Municipal hall solar hot water project • Civic building and infrastructure energy efficiency retrofits • Tree planting

A comprehensive energy and greenhouse gas emission reduction project is being undertaken at Sungod Recreation Centre. Ameresco Canada has been contracted to perform the green works for this project that will result in a guaranteed reduction of over 460 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. The reduction is equivalent to the emissions from 100 vehicles and will help us meet our corporate greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Stay Tuned – Community Energy and Emissions Plan

Delta is developing a Community Energy and Emissions Plan that will help determine policies, actions and opportunities for Delta residents and businesses to join the municipality in reducing our community greenhouse gas emissions. This project will involve community consultation and participation in an effort to reach Delta’s target of reducing GHG emissions by 33% of 2007 levels by the year 2020.

Zone C Eco-industrial Development in Delta

Continuing our efforts to revitalize industrial lands along River Road, which started in 2006 with Mayor Jackson’s “Saving Our Industrial Lands” (SOIL) initiative, Delta is collaborating with business stakeholders to develop a sustainable vision for the redevelopment of Zone C (9500 block of River Road East). This includes remediation of unused contaminated sites, sustainable construction and design and eco-industrial business practices, with the goal of attracting significant investment in progressive industries.

As mandated by Delta Council, staff are currently preparing Development Permit guidelines to provide detailed direction on the redevelopment of these lands. These guidelines will be considered as bylaws which will undergo Council review and will be subject to a public hearing.

Stay tuned for further green development, as Delta Council formalizes financial incentives, policies and bylaws to encourage the revitalization of Zone C and other industrial lands.

›INBRIEFHalloween fun

East Ladner’s Pat McGregor is hoping for another “frightfully” fun time this Halloween as she begins to set up up her annual spooky display at her home this week.

This is the 14th year she has brought out all manner of ghosts, ghouls goblins to surround her property at 6007 Crescent Drive.

“I like to get it set up about two weeks before Hal-loween so people can come enjoy it,” she said just prior to unpacking the scary decorations that include a mad scientist’s lab and a total of 42 characters.

Asked if she also dresses up her home for Christ-mas, McGregor said laughing, “No, this is more than enough work to get this done.”

If you have a Halloween display that is particularly frightening, call the Leader at 604-948-3640 or email [email protected].

Coaching changeDespite sporting one of the best records in the PIJHL

so far early in the season, the Delta Ice Hawks have made a surprising move and changed coaching staff.

According to a press release from the Delta Ice Hawks on Wednesday (Oct. 20), first year head coach Darryl Erickson has been released along with assistant coach Bob Atchinson.

Under Erickson, the Ice Hawks had posted an impressive nine wins, three losses and two overtime losses which was good enough for first place in the Tom Shaw Conference and the entire league with a total of 20 points.

According to a press release from the team, effec-tive immediately Dave McLellan will assume all duties behind the bench as new head coach for the Ice Hawks. Danny Cioffi was also announced as the team's new assistant coach.

Both were formerly with the Burnaby Express of the BCHL.

McLellan served as the team's head coach and was previously the assistant coach to former Vancouver Canuck Rick Lanz when the Express won the Royal Bank Cup Championship in 2006.

Area plan hearingsTwo public hearings will be held next week on the

Corporation of Delta’s new Tsawwassen Area Plan.The hearings will take place Oct. 26 and Oct. 27, 7

p.m., at the South Delta Recreation Centre.The public can register to speak on a list at the

entrance to the recreation centre about one hour prior to the start of the hearing. During the hearing, they will be allowed up to five minutes to provide Delta council will their comments on the proposed area plan, which among other proposals calls for the Southlands to maintain its agricultural land use designation and looks at density in the town centre.

For highlights of the new area plan, visit corp.delta.bc.ca/tap. Copies are also available at Municipal Hall, Tsawwassen Library, South Delta Recreation Centre, and Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre.

Call for assistanceMLA lobbies agriculture minister to open the purse strings to help farmers

Ladner farmer Peter Guichon stands beside some sacks of potatoes heading for customers that were salvaged this week after poor weather wiped out the majority of the crop. Estimates put losses at around 80 per cent. Philip Raphael photo

PHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

E ven the last few gasps of warm weather through mid October have not been enough to lessen the poor

weather induced losses to South Delta farmers. And now local MLA Vicki Hun-tington is trying to convince the provincial government to loosen the purse strings and provide some financial help.

Unseasonably wet weather at the end of August and into early September caused farmers from here to the Fraser Valley to suffer hefty crop losses thanks to condi-tions seen about once in 80 years.

Huntington, an independent MLA, says she has been lobbying provincial agricul-ture minister Steve Thomson to implement B.C.’s Agriculture Recovery Program.

Huntington said that while some farmers do have crop insurance, the amount they are covered for is not enough to adequately cover the losses and the province needs to step in to assist, especially the young farm-ers who have a lesser ability to withstand a down year.

“I have met with the minister twice at the UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities)

meetings in Whistler a while back and he is well aware of the problems,” Huntington said. “I guess it’s now a matter of the min-ister having to convince his colleagues to release the funding.”

A few weeks ago, loss estimates were in the 80 per cent range for potatoes. That remains accurate, said longtime Ladner farmer Peter Guichon.

“I think that in the last two weeks there’s been about 10 acres of potatoes dug,” he said. “And the guys have been out there try-ing to dig by hand so they have some seed crop for next year.”

Walking into one of the huge storage barns at Felix Farms, his family's farming operation, Guichon points to a dirt line about 20 feet high on one of the side walls just inside the doors of the building. The brown line is where the crop should be piled at this time of year, he says.

Instead, what has been taken from the fields in the week or so rest in a small pile at the rear on the barn.

"That's about 100 tonnes," Guichon says. "We should have about 500 tonnes at this time of the season."

It's the same story for the five other barns on the property, and that significant down-turn means he will likely have to lay off 25

to 30 workers he hopes will come back next season.

Guichon added he is hoping the prov-ince will get on board with some assistance which may be followed by help from the federal government.

“Usually in these cases there’s no federal money until the province has done some-thing,” he said.

Guichon and other industry representa-tives met with agriculture minister Thom-son Tuesday (Oct. 19) in Delta, and while the outcome was optimistic, no promises were made and no timetable set for relief.

Guichon said that was normal and did not anticipate action any time soon as the matter works its way through government channels.

Huntington said that in a society grow-ing more concerned over the issue of food security, she hoped the government would see value in providing financial help.

“If we want to continue with having farming families, who are at the mercy of the gods when something like this hap-pens as our climate changes, we need the government to assume a traditional role of stepping in and make compensation avail-able. It’s done all over the country.”[email protected]

SFPR changesPHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

S o much for no idling vehicles on the new South Fraser Perimeter Road.

In a meeting with Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington on Tuesday (Oct. 19) Gateway officials confirmed the new, 40 km truck link connecting Deltaport to the Golden Ears Bridge will have intersections with traffic lights in two places—at Nordel and Tilbury.

Huntington said she was surprised to hear those details and was under the impression the route had previ-ously been billed as traffic light free in order to move trucks and cars effi-ciently and cut down on emissions from the vehicles using it.

On and off ramps linking the SFPR to other roads were supposed to keep the traffic flowing unimpeded on the new highway.

At the meeting, Huntington said she was told the intersections were always part of the plan and are not due to a retraction in the billion dollar project’s scope.

“I don’t recall there being (traffic) lights on the highway,” Huntington said, adding she has been familiar with the project since she was a member of Delta Council. “The road is classified as a four lane, divided freeway. You don’t get a much higher classification than that. And those two intersections are in critical places, too. One is right by Burns Bog.”

Huntington said she wondered how the fact vehicles will now be stopped adjacent to the environmentally sensi-tive bog may have affect-ed the environmental assessment of that por-tion of the project.

“Was it based on trucks moving through or idling,” she said.

In the meeting Huntington said Gateway’s executive director Geoff Freer stated the projected amount of traffic on the SFPR does not warrant building the on and off ramps until 2020. So, the traffic lights and inter-sections are part of the plans.

Huntington was also told the year delay on the project’s completion was related to environmental assessment and Agricultural Land Commission issues.

Roger Emsley with the group APE (Against Port Expansion) said he was also surprised by the revelation and feared increased vehicle pollution along the route.

"You only have to look at the trucks as they pull away from the traffic lights at Highway 10 and notice the huge emissions they expel to see this is a problem," he said, adding he expect-ed such an integral component of the project would have been raised at pre-vious public meetings.

Grading work for the road is expect-ed to start next summer and paving is anticipated to stretch through 2012 and 2013.

The Leader asked for comment from Gateway officials, but was unable to contact them at press [email protected]

Delta South MLA raises concerns over plan for traffic lights on new highway

How 'green' is your world?O ur summers

have been a little warmer

and longer than usual. And the winter snows have generally lasted on the ground more than one day.

Is mother nature try-ing to tell us something about how we are treat-ing our planet when it comes to global climate changes? Perhaps she is, and we should be taking note as we see our blues skies made murky by smog on a more frequent basis, and our land and water polluted.

But what can we do?In this annual “green”

edition of the South Delta Leader we seek to answer that question when we meet locals who are doing plenty to help lessen the impact they have on their own corner of the world.

Our cover story follows one person’s attempt to live a zero waste life-style—hard to conceive in our throw away soci-ety where everyday con-venience still seduces us into hauling trash to the curb with little guilt.

And could you live

without getting a month-ly BC Hydro bill? One Tsawwassen resident we spoke to isn’t quite there yet, but is tapping the South Delta sunshine and winds to provide most of his household electrical needs.

Then read about what local youth are doing in their school decrease their environmental footprint. And dotted throughout the paper are some handy environmental tips from people in the community. Check them out and see if you could adopt one or two.

Overall, as a society we are more conscious about being “green” than ever before. There is movement in the right direction to make this a better world. But we still need solutions to some problems. Part of that is changing old attitudes.

Until that is adequately dealt with we cannot pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. It cer-tainly gives us something to shoot for, and reason to write more stories on “greening” our world.

Laser levelling (Farmer’s plight letter, Oct. 8, 2010, South Delta Leader) while it does “level” the field substantially, is to mainly ensure minimal “puddling” hap-pens during rainy periods, and a slight crown is provided during the levelling process as well—so the word “levelling” should not be taken to mean “absolutely flat.”

And, most farmers, if not all, either have “drain tile” in the fields (a very similar concept to drain tiles around homes in subdivisions), and will also pro-vide “surface drainage” on fields prior to winter, to assist the slight crown.

The real issue is that the out-flow pumps cannot drain ditch-es fast enough during excessive rains, and we have seen some very excessive rainfalls during the month of September (that actually started Aug. 30).

We rely upon Delta staff to ensure pumps and gates are open during rain events—they are not

farmer controlled—and, for the most part, Delta staff perform a very credible job.

Delta also has staff on stand-by when a known rain event is imminent.

When we have abnormal

rain events, ditches fill up very fast, and farm ditches are also designed to take and hold excess water from residential areas within the Municipality.

Over the years we have had many instances of abnormal rain events (not forecast).

The September rain events were, for the most part, abnor-mal, and being as substantive as they were, caused the major problems.

Ditches that fill up, then back-up onto farmland, raise the over-all field water table.

Once the overall water table is up, the soils are saturated and harvest machinery cannot get on the fields.

It takes a long dry spell for fields to dry sufficiently to allow harvesters to do their work, and, while the surface may appear dry, under that top layer, it is still very wet.

A once in 80 years crop disaster here in Delta and the Fraser Valley that wiped out substantial portions of potatoes and other vegetables in the past few weeks is reason enough to change our wicked, environmentally unfriendly ways.

Think not?Well, go ahead, throw that pop can straight

in the garbage can. Crumple up that newspaper and without conscience toss it in the trash. Leave that light on in the kitchen when no one is there. And drive your troop transporter that masquerades as an SUV around the block to the grocery store and back.

All those actions may not help protect local farmers from getting their harvesting machines stuck in the thick mud every couple of generations when unseasonably heavy rainfall caused by greenhouse gas induced climate change hits and obliterates their crops.

But being kind to the environment, even in small ways each day, surely doesn’t hurt the overall well being of our planet.

Consider it.We are often schooled in the multiplier effect

of actions when it comes to being “green.” And mathematically, it can certainly add up and make an impact at various levels, be they as consumers or producers.

You know, tell two friends and so on.But it’s our socially ingrained mind sets that

can benefit most from pausing to consider what footprint we individually leave behind each day we are on earth.

If we can break ourselves away from the insatiable desire to have more of everything all the time, we can perhaps sit back and have greater appreciation for what we have and take pride in the simple pleasures.

Park the family fossil fuel burner and take a walk to the shops, admire the soft green moss on your pesticide-free lawn, and celebrate the fact you are hefting far fewer garbage bags to the curb each week.

If some environmental watchers are correct the time is coming when all of those measures, and plenty more, are fast approaching as essential behaviours, not just actions by choice.

So, why not try and stay ahead of the curve and implement and maintain a new “green” action or two now?

And that could be the start of something special we can all share.

Staying ahead of the curve

EDITORIAL

The Corporation of Delta pro-vides a service every other week by picking up yard waste for the residents of Delta.

This service doesn’t seem to be used by the residents living

on Beach Grove Road between 16 Ave and 17 A Ave. as most of the residents on this stretch find it more convenient to throw their recyclable waste from the garden over the sea wall and onto the beach.

This action not only fouls up the beach but ultimately fouls the water in Boundary Bay.

This action doesn’t make sense as these residents paid a premium

for their homes on the beach and then they foul the very environ-ment they paid a premium to be next too.

This action shows very little respect for the environment or the Delta corporation’s service to pick up and remove yard waste once every two weeks.

G M ost readers are familiar with the “Reduce,

Reuse, Recycle” mantra.Perhaps many are

committed recyclers, while others may be con-fused as to what should be done with a plastic bag, or bit of foil?

Last summer, (Leader reporter) Kristine Salz-mann met with me and another church member in order to learn about a “zero waste” program we were undertaking. Something I then naive-ly assumed would be easy has instead been a challenge. For anything new to be success-ful, especially when working with others, I now realize t h a t t i m e , patience and education are needed.

On my daily walks through Winskill Park and/or the town centre I see mixed paper, plas-tic wrap, banana peels, water, pop and juice containers and paper coffee cups, placed either in one of the many plastic lined bins or on the ground.

With the exception of the coffee cup, these items are recyclable. (Note: black and dark green plastic garbage bags do not decompose at the landfill).

What should one do with the items above?

1. Plastics: All plastic in Delta can be recycled, but must be cleaned of food residue, and loose plastic should be bun-dled together. Cleaned foil can be placed, along with cans, into a blue bin.

2. Delta has strategical-ly placed recycling bins for recyclable containers at Winskill. An option is to take empty beverage containers to a Return It Depot. (The refund can, if one wishes, be donated to one of many worthwhile groups.) I urge everyone to reduce first, however, by bring-ing water from home in reusable containers.

3. Clean paper and cardboard can be placed

into yellow bags (with plastic tape removed).

4 . Ba n a n a p e e l s , together with raw veg-etable and other fruit re m a i n s, a re c o m -postable. Composting is easy. Both Delta and Earthwise Garden offer courses from time to t ime. A community wide compost pick up program may be put in place—there is much to learn on this.

5. Ah, single use dis-posable cups! Why is it so difficult to stop using these? As the paper cup is lined with plastic, it

is not recy-clable, unless taken apart. Instead, do keep a reus-able cof fee mug in your c a r . T h i s one thing, if undertaken by everyone, would greatly reduce waste a n d w o u l d

save a lot of trees.On a recent visit to

Stanley Park Aquarium I was delighted to see a seven bin recycling/composting system in place. Even the eco cof-fee cups and plates are composted, though they must be sent to a special facility.

Coffee grounds are compostable and good for plants, by the way. Watch for more on this topic and others in future columns.

Jean Wightman has been a resident of Tsaw-wassen since 1980 and is passionate about many issues, including waste reduction and best recy-cling practices. She is committed to volunteer-ing and since 2005 has been helping the Delta Chamber of Commerce.

Jean Wightman is an avid walker and reader and has enjoyed learning about waste reduction and best recycling prac-tices. A resident of Tsaw-wassen since 1980, she has volunteered for many organizations, including Deltassist, Delta Hospice Society, Center for Aging, Delta Museum and Delta Chamber of Commerce. Never stop learning, is her motto!

Tsawwassen resident shoots for a zero waste lifestyle

On a typical Monday morning, Carol Vignale will take out her church's recyclables for pick-up, sort through her own, hang laundry out to air dry to conserve energy, and stir in her compost. While that can seem like plenty of effort to some, Vignale has it down to an art after six years with no garbage can.Tyler Garnham photos

KRISTINE SALZMANNR E P O R T E R

I t's 7 a.m. on a Monday and Carol Vignale is toting the recycling out of the Benedic-tion Lutheran Church in Tsawwassen.

She does this every week, after swimming and before taking out her own blue bin in an effort to encourage the church members and tenants to achieve zero waste.

There have been no garbage cans in the church for about a year and a half, ever since one member pointed out a proliferation of ants and Vignale cleaned out the trash and sorted it into recycling. An educational cam-paign and plenty of signage has kept the effort going.

At Vignale's home, she too has no garbage cans. By 9 a.m. she has sorted and put out her recycling, stirred a few buckets of fruit and vegetable peels into a large compost bin behind the shed, and hung a load of laundry to dry on a backyard line to reduce energy consumption.

She has achieved a practically zero waste lifestyle. If something can be recycled, she does it, even if it takes washing plastic con-tainers with her dishes, and taking products apart so they can be separated into metal, plastic and paper.

Vignale knows it takes time for people to learn how to reduce their everyday waste. Her own journey to zero waste started in 1968, as a University of B.C. student living with

roommates in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver.

She went to throw a metal can in the gar-bage and heard the alarmed voice of her roommate behind her: "What are you doing!?" She took the can from Vignale, removed the lids, put it on the ground, and smashed it with her foot. She tossed it in a recycling bin that the roommates would take to a drop-off location once a week.

Vignale will always remember that foot coming down on the can. When she moved to Tsawwassen in 1980, she was happy to discover that every Saturday residents could bring their paper products, cans and bottles to the local recreation centre thanks to the Delta Recycling Society.

These days there's a section of shelving in her garage dedicated to cleaned, sorted materials: newspapers in the blue bags, flat-tened boxes and other paper products in the yellow bags, and plastic bottles, glass bottles, and bagged plastic films (such as bread bags and cling wrap) in the blue bin.

"It's been a long road," she says. But she hopes others can learn from her experiences and be inspired to go "zero waste" them-selves.

ages recycling, reusing and reducing con-sumption to divert materials from spending lifetimes buried in a landfill.

Metro Vancouver's current diversion rate is about 55 per cent. Metro Vancouver's goal, as laid out in its Solid Waste and Resource Man-agement Plan, is 70 per cent by 2015.

"Generally, Delta is very close to the region-al average," says Ela Lukowska, an engineer-ing program coordinator with the Corpora-tion of Delta.

How can Deltans improve their perfor-mance? Lukowska says it will take continuing education as well as action by the municipal-ity. One program in the works she mentions is an organic waste program.

Delta ran a pilot program in Ladner from October 2009 to March 2010, where select neighbourhoods put out food scraps for pick-up.

Lukowska says the program was well-received but had low participation initially. Delta is currently waiting for a report from Metro Vancouver on the experiences of the municipalities who participated in organic waste pilot programs.

"Everything will come at its own pace," she says, noting it took years for people to get used to recycling.

Delta uses a three-stream recycling system where residents separate their newspapers, paper products, and metal cans, plastic bot-tles and jugs, bagged plastic bags and films, and glass jars and bottles.

The municipality recently mailed out infor-mation brochures to single family homes as well as a tailored one to multi-family resi-dences, which typically recycle less, often attributed to lack of accountability and con-venience.

Delta's recyclables are collected and trucked to Urban Impact Recycling (see p. 14) in Richmond and New Westminster.

A municipality doesn't typically collect materials that are harmful or hazardous

to human health or the environment, says Lukowska, and often end-of-life for these products is the responsibility of the industry itself. But just because Delta doesn't collect certain materials from your curb doesn't mean there aren't programs in place to recy-cle them.

The province has a number of take-back programs for everything from paints, pes-ticides, oil products and tires, to old medi-cations, many electronics, and beverage containers. (For drop-off locations in South Delta, see our map on p. 11).

In July, these provincial programs were expanded. Call2Recycle now accepts all household batteries, not just rechargeable batteries and cell phones. Where electronic waste depots used to focus on television and computer equipment, they now accept other electronics such as audio and video systems. A new program called LightRecycle collects residential-use fluorescent lights and tubes.

If you are not sure what to do with a prod-uct, Lukowska recommends calling the Recy-cling Council of BC hotline at 604-RECYCLE (732-9253), particularly since changes are in the works.

"All these programs are evolving and expanding all the time because we're work-ing towards higher diversion," she says.

Breaking down barriersDelta wants any waste diversion program

to be functional, but not overwhelming, says Lukowska. And an overwhelming sense of confusion can be a major barrier in getting people to recycle.

What Vignale does to achieve zero waste can seem like a lot of work: taking apart con-tainers to separate materials, washing the residue off packaging so it doesn't contami-nate other recyclables.

To reduce the amount of time and effort, Vignale shops smart, which often means local and fresh. She cycled to Earthwise Farm

to buy veggies for her family's Thanksgiving dinner, and rides her bike to Thrifty Foods where she often chats with staff about what's grown or made locally in an effort to reduce her environmental footprint.

At Thrifty Foods, Vignale bypasses the fro-zen food section in favour of Ocean Wise-labelled halibut (a program that identifies sustainable seafood), and chooses an eco-friendly laundry detergent that's highly con-centrated, meaning more loads from a single recyclable container.

At the cash register she produces an empty milk bottle out of her backpack. Vignale buys the brand Avalon Dairy (a Vancouver-based company) because she can clean and return the glass bottle to the cashier and receive a $1 refund.

She doesn't purchase anything that is par-ticularly difficult to separate, such as plastic lotion or soap dispensers that have pumps with metal coils. When asked if there are any products she cannot recycle, the only things that come to mind are razor blades (a mix of

plastic and sharp metal), and the bones from meat products, a problem that could be recti-fied with an organic waste pick up program.

"It's been a science experiment from the beginning," Vignale says in her kitchen. She's at the counter making fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast, something her mother used to do for her as a child. After she has squeezed out the juice she chops up the orange peels and tosses them into an empty Becel marga-rine container next to her sink, the first step on its way to the outdoor compost.

"One day, about six years ago, I thought: I don't need a garbage any more," she says.

It may have started as a science experi-ment, but Vignale has it down to an art.

Outside her home, she looks at her neigh-bours' grey garbage bins that dot the perim-eter of the cul-de-sac.

Yes, she has the urge to sort through her neighbours' trash.

"I bet I could get it down to almost zero," she [email protected]


Buckets full of fruit and vegetable peels, tea bags and coffee grounds, and boxes and bins of recyclable materials are evidence of Vignale's practically zero waste life. Kristine Salzmann photos

T sawwassen First Nation elder Ruth Adams has an idea.

It's one she's nurtured for a while, one she hopes will help better connect Tsawwassen, the Tsawwas-sen First Nation and the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Later, perhaps it will link numerous First Nations on Vancouver Island and across the Lower Mainland.

It's an environmentally friendly idea, too.

Adams would like to see the con-struction of a bicycle route called the Great Blue Heron Way.

The first stage would be to build the route from Tsawwassen through Tsaw-wassen First Nation land and along the ferry causeway to the terminal.

It's an idea that appeals to BC Fer-ries terminal services attendant Jude Coates as well.

Coates cycles from her home in Tsaw-wassen to work at the terminal, and says the bike route along the causeway, to put it kindly, "is not very encouraging."

She and Safe Route Tsawwassen's Carol Vignale (and zero waste propo-nent: see p. 9) invited me to ride with them from Tsawwassen to the terminal.

The shoulder along Highway 17 is wide enough that cyclists could ride two abreast until they reach the cause-way, where the bike path narrows to funnel you between the vehicles zip-ping past and a concrete barrier.

Coates describes avoiding debris that's fallen off the back of vehicles onto the road, and the feeling of being pulled into the wake of passing trucks as they edge cyclists closer to the barrier that separates the road from the beach.

Leaving the terminal on the south side

of the causeway, you can choose to ride on the ocean side of the barrier instead of on the road, bumping along the packed earth and avoiding lamp posts.

Coates, who is in the Sustainable Community Development program at Simon Fraser University, has in the past helped BC Ferries implement a recycling program.

"Ideally, I would love to be able to work on improving the ecological footprint of BC Ferries operations," she says of what she would like to do with her degree.

She says she has received approval from upper management to meet with Adams and Vignale, who is also with the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition, and put together a plan to improve cyclist and pedestrian use on the causeway.

Ideally, the trio would like to see a two-way cycling path and pedestri-an walkway on the south side of the causeway. They envision the route emerging from the new Tsawwassen Springs development, under con-struction at the Tsawwassen Golf and Country Club, going through TFN land on the south side of Highway 17, and connecting with the causeway.

In addition to improving cyclist safe-ty to the terminal, Adams sees the Great Blue Heron Way continuing from the Swartz Bay terminal on the other side and meeting up with other bike paths.

"We want to go wherever there is a First Nation. That would be huge for B.C.," she says.

An extensive bike route would also be a community project that would encourage municipalities and First Nations to work together.

"People are afraid of what we're doing," says Adams. "Our people want to have good relations, from age one to my age."

transportationA number of customers have

bought cargo trailers (to attach to their bikes) that are quite inex-pensive. Instead of a three minute drive to the store in your car,

make it a four minute bike. As well, a lot of people in Tsawwassen

do business in Point Roberts. When you're on a bicycle you're not a commercial vehicle, and they

clear much faster through customs and you get a little exercise. —Dave Enns, Delta Bike Company

N icole Stefenelli was thinking about recycling and corporate responsi-bility long before it was the cool

thing to do.She traveled Europe in her late teens and

made note of how seriously people took recycling. Upon her return, she decided to start Urban Impact Recycling Ltd. and is proving waste reduction does make busi-ness sense.

That was 20 years ago. Today, Urban Impact picks up materials from 5,000 loca-tions across the Lower Mainland. Last year, the company diverted 90,000 metric tonnes of materials from the landfill and is on track to divert 110,000 metric tonnes this year.

"Certainly recycling was a novelty when I started," says the Ladner resident. "Peo-ple listened kindly to what they thought were my idealistic ideas. Maybe it's a bit interpretive, but I thought they chalked it up to a bit of naivety and idealism. That has changed. People accept it as a normal practice for business and at home, and I think that's a wonderful evolution."

She believes zero waste can become a reality over the next 20 years. It's that pas-sion for waste diversion Stefenelli passed on to a group of 29 Grade 5 students from Beach Grove Elementary earlier this week, who crowded around her during a tour of the Richmond plant to see where the recyclables from the Delta School District ends up.

It's here in northeast Richmond where paper products are received from their trucks, sorted by an automated machine, "baled" into one metric tonne packages, and then shipped out to recycling mills around the world.

Another plant in New Westminster han-dles glass, metals and plastics as well as paper products.

Most municipalities, including Delta, use a three-stream system where residents are required to separate their newsprint, papers and containers to avoid contami-nation. While important, Stefenelli says the big message is for people to make the commitment to get their materials in the bin, noting she doesn't want to discourage anyone from recycling.

As the students walked through the plant arms stretch upwards as they're eager to ask questions.

Stefenelli answers each student with patience and enthusiasm, occasionally inter-rupted by the beeping of a truck in reverse, and stopping to let the students watch one of their 30 trucks dump a load of loose paper into a large pile on the facility's floor. Later, they pile into a shipping container to hear Stefenelli talk about how the recovered paper is shipped to mills in the United States and abroad through Deltaport to places like India and South America where it can be reused.

Stefenelli, who was recently recognized

with the 2010 Ernst & Young Entrepre-neur of the Year award in the Clean Tech category, offers tours of Urban Impact to schools during Earth Week in April and Waste Reduction Week in October.

"I would love to think I'm at least help-ing to inspire them to think about waste diversion and reducing what we consume . . . And I think it's important that if they hear from me that I started this when I was 20, and they are 12, maybe it's not incon-ceivable that they can do something at any early age too," she says.

And as keen as these students are to ask questions, they are eager to talk about their own environmental efforts at school.

The school has started both composting and recycling programs. Every Thursday this particular group from Beach Grove goes around the school collecting paper materi-als and puts them in the recycling bin.

"It's actually really fun doing it," says one [email protected]

Green lessonsStudents plan to harvest vegetables, expand recycling


Delta Secondary's environment club is bringing green space to the school that is both practical and pretty.

The group of students have started a garden in a mainly concrete court-yard where they plan to grow vegetables to be used by the cafeteria and plant trees to create an area for peaceful reflec-tion, says club sponsor teacher Dana Huff.

It's a joint project the club is working on with the culinary arts program and fine arts students led by teacher Gailene Powell.

Soon, potatoes will be ready to harvest, the first vegetable to be used in the cafeteria from the garden. The students also plan to include a herb garden, a Japanese rock garden, and benches, one which was donat-ed by the graduating class of 2010 in memory of librarian Robin Mas-t e r s w h o passed away a couple of years ago.

About 30 students, mostly in Grades 10 to 12, attend the envi-ronment club's weekly meetings, says Huff, and they are keeping busy.

A number of them are passionate about start-ing a soft plastics recy-cling program to expand the school's current col-lection of paper products and aluminum cans.

Many of the students are also involved in the school district's part-nership with BC Hydro as energy ambassadors. In a few weeks the sec-ondary students will give presentations on conservation at local elementary schools.

And last month, the club took part in the Great Canadian Shore-line Clean-up, during which they picked up more than 150 pounds of garbage along the beach next to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal causeway.

Cathy Wilander, president of the Ladner chapter of the Council of Canadians, is taking aim at the South Fraser Perimeter Road in her group's bid for climate justice. Philip Raphael photo

Clearing the air

L adner’s Cathy Wilander has pretty much given up all hope of using her dining room for its

original purpose right now.That’s because the current chairper-

son of the local chapter of the Coun-cil of Canadians is way too busy these days organizing and hosting meetings around the table which accommo-dates piles of notes, files and binders instead of plates, cutlery and glasses.

“I don’t have dinner parties any-more, I don’t have time,” Wilander says laughing.

Wilander’s par-ticular objective is what she terms “climate justice,” and her main target is halting the construction

of the South Fraser Perimeter Road which when completed is designed to route container truck traffic from Deltaport to the Golden Ears Bridge.

Wilander got involved with the Council of Canadians—which bills itself one of the country’s largest advo-cacy groups—about eight years ago.

“In the past I was a bit of a softer environmentalist and focused more on things I could do personally,” Wilander says. “But now I realize that we need to have mass action. People need to get involved. We can’t wait for the politicians. We have to get out there and stand up for our community, for the earth.”

That’s why Wilander and her group joined up with other anti-SFPR forces Oct. 10 to draw attention to the new highway.

Called “Dig In,” those at the event filled sand bags with preload sand from the SFPR’s site in the

Bridgeview neighbourhood of Surrey. The sandbags were to be placed along the dike in the area to protect it from flooding thanks to global warming.

“There’s been community opposi-tion to this freeway since day one,” she says. “There’s concerns about the environment that are huge and the road goes through sensitive habitat in North Surrey.”

To help emphasise that Wilander’s group has helped define the area as the South Fraser Witness Trail.

“That’s to show people how sensi-tive the habitat is,” she says. “There’s deer and streams and beaver in there, and that will all be paved over. This is a piece of urban wilderness. And one of the ways we have learned to save threatened places is to build a trail through them so people can access it and start to value it.”

Closer to home, Wilander says the loss of South Delta farmland to the highway is a main concern. So is the expected vehicle emissions that will be in close proximity to active farming.

"We have to ask ourselves what kind of government is going ahead with this road that is destroying habitat and having massive community opposi-tion since day one?” Wilander says.

“If their goal is industrialisation of the land adjacent to the freeway, it’s a short term thing. We need our agricultural land. And for a few land developers to make some money and we lose the land forever, what’s the sense of that.”

Sprouting ideasLocally grown veggie enhanced with garlic

DIRECTIONSPar boil the brussels

sprouts until just ten-der. Immediately cool in ice water. Drain. Cut large ones in half or quarters.

Place the bacon in a

large skillet over medi-um heat and sauté until brown and the bacon fat is rendered.

Add the pine nuts and further sauté just until a golden brown. Add 2-3

tsp. fresh butter.Add the garlic and

quickly stir it into the bacon/pine nut/butter mixture just until cooked (do not burn the garlic).

Add the drained brus-sels sprouts.

Continue to sauté until heated through.

Season to taste with the salt and fresh ground black pepper.

Keep, and serve, warm. Garnish with chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy!

Optional: Add julienned carrots to the bacon as soon as it is rendered. You can also add julienned red bell peppers to add colour for Christmas festivities.

Don Bruchet grows beets, pota-toes, rhubarb, sweet peas, potatoes and irises in his two raised beds at his Ladner home.

Of course, the retail manager at West Coast Seeds uses the often certi-fied organic or heirloom seeds found at their new store in Ladner Village.

"I planted every one of our variet-ies of sweet peas and I had the most beautiful show," says Bruchet.

West Coast Seeds opened the retail store in late July, closing the small outlet they had at their Ladner warehouse.

"We wanted to grow," says Bruchet. Growth for the store meant selling

more than seeds. They've brought in gardening tools, a line of organic fertilizers, soil enhancers and other gardening products, as well as created space for a classroom.

Already, West Coast Seeds has

offered courses on topics such as winterizing mason bees (which they sell) and growing garlic and vegetables over the winter.

One vegetable planted in the sum-mer and ready to be harvested soon is the controversial brussels sprout. Bruchet, who worked as a chef, offers up this recipe for brussels sprouts he says is seasonal, you can grow locally (both brussels sprout seeds and garlic are sold at the store), and may give the most ardent brussels sprout-hater a change of heart.

"There's one secret to brussels sprouts in growing them," he says. "If at all possible people should hold off on harvesting them until after the first frost. What happens is it will sweeten the brussels sprout as soon as it's hit with the frost."

W h e n y o u amble to the c u r b w i t h

your blue box packed full of the week’s cast offs and plunk it down waiting for the recy-cling truck to arrive, it’s job done for the con-scientious green hom-eowner.

But for the folks at Machinex in Tilbury, that’s when their hard work gets put to use.

Machinex designs and builds the equip-ment which sorts the materials into different categories at a recycling plant. It’s a task the firm has been tackling for the past 30 years, starting from its headquarters in Plessisville, Quebec and steadily expanding westward across Cana-da and into the United States.

The South Delta office of Machinex serves cli-ents across B.C. and into the pacific northwest of the U.S., who recycle everything from plastics to metals.

“We are among the top five players in the industry,” said Chris Symonds who works in sales and service sup-

port with Machinex at its River Road location.

And with the trend in society to find the green-est ways of doing things, Symonds says business growth has shown an upward trend.

“Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with how things are growing,” he said. “It’s not a com-pletely recession-proof industry, but business is good.”

To handle the demand for ever- increasing streams of material to be recycled, Machinex employs a blend of low and high-tech methods to sort waste entering a plant.

Magnets remove met-als, blasts of air can sep-arate paper and some plastics, and lasers and high speed optical read-ers can take care of other materials that pass through a recycling plant at a fast rate.

“In some plants the conveyors carrying the materials can move at 400 feet per minute,” Symonds says.

The lasers identify types of plastic, while the optical readers scan for different coloured plastics and glass.

Even at that speed,

the equipment can achieve a 95 per effi-ciency rate, making sure the vast majority of items are going to the right place.

W h e n t h e w a s t e streams require a hands-on touch, some plants incorporate manual sorting.

Just how much man-ual labour is used at a recycling plant is usu-ally determined by the nature of the business running the operation.

Symonds says profit margins drive privately owned businesses to automate as much as possible, while govern-ment-run facilities tend to incorporate higher levels of hand sorting.

With most of the design and fabrication done in eastern Canada, the South Delta office

deals with sales

and a small portion of design and building of equipment.

As the future of recy-cling looks to contin-ue gaining increased acceptance in society, the cost of separating and processing “blue boxed” goods is likely to decrease based on the high-tech nature of a good portion of the industry.

“It’s like when plasma TVs first came out, most people couldn’t afford them,” Symonds says.

But as demand grew and production became cheaper, the cost came down and put them in the homes of more people.

“And that should happen with the cost of recycling,” Symonds [email protected]

Decreasing dependencyPHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

W hen the sun s h i n e s i n Tsawwas-

sen it brings a smile to the faces of plenty of locals, including Ulrich Schrems.

But in his case, the environmental engineer has even more reason to be pleased for blue skies overhead, because when the clouds part and the sun makes an appear-ance his home is doing something good for the environment.

A decade ago, Schrems installed solar panels on his roof and two years ago a small wind turbine to help generate energy that is stored in a set of fork lift truck batteries which take up a small area inside his garage.

The batteries have

enough capacity to run the home’s needs for up to four days, which is not only an environ-mentally green thing to do, but handy when it comes to power outages in his neighbourhood, the longest which lasted one and a half days.

In the winter Schrem’s home system can pro-duce four kWh (kilowatt hours) per day and nine kWh in the summer.

That more than covers the need for what is con-sumed in the house dur-ing the day, so the excess is stored in the batteries for overnight usage.

While his set up can still be considered to be somewhat of a curiosity as most homes today still rely on hooking up the BC Hydro’s power grid, Schrems believes in the not-too-distant future more homeowners will

consider self sustaining measures, and not solely because they want to lessen their impact on mother earth.

“I think that in the long run the power prices will be going up and BC Hydro is run-ning out of power,” he said, adding he predicts that in five to 10 years time diminishing oil resources and the high cost of new hydro elec-tric generation plants will make solar power a more serious option.

That new reality is being played out in other parts of the world now.

“Every time we are building big (power) projects that cost bil-lions of dollars and we are not focusing on smaller projects,” Schrems said. “Now, in Europe you can lease your roof and put solar panels on them.”

And that untapped re s o u rc e h a s g re a t potential here.

“When you go into Richmond, for exam-ple, you can see all the flat roofs that could be a huge area for solar pan-els,” he said.

But one deterrent is the cost of switching over. The bill to set up Schrem’s system was around $30,000.

“I sold my car to get things started,” said Schrems who works from home as a global techni-cal support contact for his own business.

While the cost of solar panels has come down in the last decade that could easily change in the future when power resources needed in manufacturing become more expensive.

So, now is the time, Schrems said.

But before homeown-ers consider any chang-es, one easy way to share the cost is by knocking on you neighbour’s front door.

“You can do a very

simple thing that they are doing in Europe. In a cul-de-sac you can get a few houses together and put solar panels up in one central unit and share it,” Schrems said. “And that also gives you one set of maintenance costs.”

But has he had any interest from neigh-bours over the years?

“No,” he says. “As long as power is so cheap, people are not starting. But I believe we have a responsibility, not only the government, to reduce how much power we use.”[email protected]

H ouseholds and businesses will p a y s h a r p l y

more to dump garbage at transfer stations next year.

Me t r o Va n c o u v e r intends to raise waste tipping fees 18 per cent from $82 to $97 per ton as of Jan. 1.

T h e n e w p r i c e amounts to a 36 per cent increase in just two years and Metro officials have signaled continued hikes in future years are likely.

Next year will also be the first time it will cost $20 to get rid of an old mattress. Metro offi-cials say the charge is because it's difficult to process mattresses for recycling.

Tipping fees for recy-clables is also going up.

It will cost $63 per tonne (up from $59) to drop off yard and garden waste for recycling.

Food waste will also be part of that green waste category as of next spring.

Because green waste

will cost $34 less per tonne than dumping regular garbage, offi-cials hope there will be incentive to separate compostable waste.

C l e a n , u n t re a t e d wood waste will also be accepted at the green waste rate.

Minimum dumping fees of $10 for small loads ($20 at peak times at some transfer stations) remain unchanged.

Waste-handling costs are rising and a decline in incoming garbage—due to both the recession and increased recycling—means there's less rev-

enue to defray costs.Pa r t o f t h e c o s t

increase is because Metro is spending more on waste planning, reg-ulatory and recycling initiatives—many man-dated under its proposed Solid Waste Management Plan, which commits the region to much higher recycling rates.

Metro will also spend about $1 million next year operating the Ash-croft Ranch, which the regional district origi-nally bought as a poten-tial new landfill site until the province blocked that option.

'Zero Heroes' in DeltaTheatre troupe inspires kids to think greenTODD COYNEB L A C K P R E S S

E smerelda Superspy is an environmental superhero intent on saving the planet

from the destructive forces of her archnemesis—the evil Dr. Carbon.

In her latest adventure, the blue-haired planet protector heads to the dump. It’s filling up with garbage at an alarming rate and Esmerelda has a hunch Dr. Carbon might be responsible.

Delta elementary school stu-dents can follow Esmerelda and her trusty sidekick Goober on their enviro-mission in Zero Heroes, the latest production from DreamRider Theatre. The Lower Mainland acting troupe delivers environmentally friendly mes-sages to school children through plays. Zero Heroes is touring 12 Delta elementary schools from Oct. 18 to 27.

Sara Holt plays the role of Esmerelda. A product of the Richmond school system, Holt graduated from Richmond High in 1995 and recalls educational theatre groups performing at her first alma mater—Thompson Elementary School.

“I definitely remember getting loaded into the gym and seeing these crazy people run around and have a great time,” she says.

She would think to herself: “What a great job, why would anyone want to do anything else?”

Holt graduated from Langara College’s Studio 58 program and never thought she could combine her love of acting with her envi-ronmental commitment until she joined DreamRider in 2001.

“I think that’s why I’ve stuck with it for so long, because both of my passions are in one job,” she says.

Kids are a notoriously tough audience and holding their atten-tion for a 45-minute show can be a challenge.

“You do have to tailor your performance and really be clear and really be present with those kids,” Holt said. “[Children] are so quick to leave you in the dust if they don’t like you.”

For a kids’ performer, there’s nothing worse than looking out

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

M etro Vancouver has no short-age of potential business partners who want to build

a new organic biofuel plant in Surrey that will turn food waste into energy.

Thirteen firms are in the running and they're to be winnowed down to a short list by the end of the year ahead of a formal request for proposals call.

The plant will take 80,000 tonnes of household food waste per year— includ-ing kitchen scraps, egg shells, paper towels and pizza boxes —that would be ground up into a slurry and digested to produce vehicle-grade fuel.

The resulting natural gas could be used to power local waste and recy-cling trucks.

The plant will be adjacent to the existing Surrey transfer station in northeast Surrey, near 192 Street and 98A Avenue and could be open by late 2012, according to City of Surrey depu-ty operations manager Rob Costanzo.

He's confident smell won't be a problem for the plant.

"The odour issue is almost non-existant," Costanzo said, noting a similar organic biofuel plant in Swe-den is located next door to a Burger King restaurant.

Prospective bidders are proposing a variety of tech-nologies, including various forms of wet or dry diges-tion as well as gasification, he said.

Any residual material would likely be composted at a different site.

Metro already contracts with Fraser Richmond Soil and Fibre in east Rich-

mond to make compost out of part of the region's organic waste.

The organics plant would serve not just Surrey but potentially nearby cit-ies and commercial supermarkets and restaurants.

If the Surrey pilot project is a suc-cess, more Metro Vancouver biofuel plants could spring up around the region, helping the region meet its aim of eliminating all food waste and other organics from the waste stream and increasing the recycling rate to at least 70 per cent.

A significant amount of garbage going to landfills is organic waste, which festers and creates methane that can escape and add to climate change.

Surrey has agreed to sell Metro Van-couver the land for the biofuel plant.

But the property must first be rezoned from light industrial to heavy industrial, Costanzo said.

He said an open house to inform area residents about the project is also being planned for Saturday, Nov. 6. (Details to be posted at www.surrey.ca.)

Surrey and other cities around the region are also moving to collect organic waste from all homes, follow-ing the lead of Port Coquitlam, which was the first to implement full organ-ics pickup.

But the DreamRider team has found a way to engage any eight-year-old in heavy issues like solid waste management and consumerism.

“We keep [the shows] very visual, with lots of song and dance and lots of silly jokes,” Holt explained.

Judging by the number of letters DreamRider receives from inspired kids and teachers who have noticed less litter on the playground, the mes-sage does get across.

Zero Heroes also com-plements the curricu-lum and helps teachers launch into the subject of waste or composting.

Founded by theatre artists Ian Gschwind and Vanessa LeBourda-is, DreamRider performs up to 300 shows a year to 60,000 students across the Lower Mainland. Their free-for-schools performances are fund-ed by municipalities and subsidized through fundraising and grants.

The group recently finished a tour of Keep Cool, which also featured Esmerelda, Goober and Dr. Carbon, but focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Zero Heroes is meant to raise awareness of unnecessary waste.

“We’re really trying to bring that awareness to the kids so that when they’re out shopping with their parents they say ‘Hey, maybe we don’t need to put the apples in a plastic bag,’” said Holt.

H elping those in need and keep-ing track of your

schedule are just two excuses to adorn your wall with Delta firefight-ers in the new year.

The 2011 Fire Men's Greater Vancouver Fire Fighters Hall of Flame Calendar is on sale now, with all proceeds going to the Burn Fund, CKNW Orphan's Fund and other charities.

Five Delta firefighters are featured in this year's calendar: Brandon Jai, Tory Schroeder, Bryan Harris, Stephan Kesting and Jarrod Burr.

When Burr, 25, was asked to take part in the calendar, he gave it some thought and decided, why not?

Burr has been with the Delta Fire and Emergency Services for about a year and a half, but volunteered with the department for three years beforehand.

"I like the camaraderie with the guys, we always have a good time at work and always try to laugh. We're a strong team. We've got each other's backs and we work together to achieve a common goal," he says.

Burr, who grew up in Ladner and lives in Tsaw-wassen, says reactions to him as "Mr. February" have been mixed.

"My buddies, they laugh about it, but it's all in good fun. And you get the family, who's just

like, oh my God," he says with a laugh.

Last year the calendar raised about $50,000. To promote the fundraiser, the firefighters will be in two fashion shows this weekend (Oct. 22 and 23) at the West Coast Wom-

en's Show at the Tradex Centre in Abbotsford (westcoastwomen.net).

The calendar can be purchased at partici-pating London Drugs or through iaff18.org. [email protected]

Making the gradeLadner lacrosse player named among Canada’s top 50 players


I t had to be a joke. A prank from a friend, thought 16-year-old Sam Clare as he made his way

home for a buddy’s house a cou-ple of weeks ago when he read the text message on his cell phone.

The message was one congrat-ulating the Ladner teen for being named among the top 50 lacrosse players in Canada.

“I thought it was a joke,” says Clare, a Grade 12 student who attends Vancouver College.

When he got home Clare hur-riedly tried to find the informa-tion on the Internet to confirm it, and when he finally did was completely surprised by what he read.

According to a report pub-lished by Lacrosse – Inside the Game (lacrosseinsidethegame.com) Clare found he had made it to 37th place on the list, some-thing he hopes will help raise his profile among scouts as he heads to a recruitment tournament in Baltimore, Maryland in Novem-

ber with the Burnaby Mountain Selects Senior Elite team.

Clare said he was blown away by making the top 50 in a sport he started playing when he was barely old enough to hold a lacrosse stick.

“I was pretty much born with a stick in my hand,” said Clare who followed in the foot-steps of his older broth-er Nathan who is a star in his own right, having captained Team BC U19 Selects to a Canadian National Field Lacrosse Championship in 2008 and earned a tournament MVP, and is now in his fourth and final year with the Simon Fraser Uni-versity Lacrosse team.

Dad Nigel said he enrolled Nathan in lacrosse because his older son disliked the T-ball league he was playing in.

So, when it came time for Sam to play organized sports, it was straight to lacrosse and he never looked back.

“We moved here from England

and I was a soccer player,” Nigel said. “And I’d never seen lacrosse before. But the boys took to it right away.”

The younger Clare has played both box and field lacrosse locally for more than a decade and has

a collected a host of his own MVP awards.

During the 2009 box season the midfielder was named MVP in both the semifinal and final games of the Provincial Midget A2 Box championships winning the Provincial

Gold medal.He was also a member of

Team BC’s 2008 U16 Stars that won a silver medal in the Cana-dian National Championships in Edmonton.

This year he played box lacrosse for both the Delta Islander Inter-mediate A team and was called up to the Delta Islander Junior A team.

On the field lacrosse side of the game Clare plays for both

the U19 Delta Footmen and Burnaby Mountain Selects.

Clare said one of his strengths is his athletic ability to cover the play-ing field and skill with the stick.

“In midfield you’re expected to be pretty much everywhere,” he said.

Input for the ranking was compiled from lead-ing coaches involved with the provincial U16 and U19 field lacrosse t e a m s t h r o u g h o u t Canada as well as top Canadian and U.S. prep schools.

In addition to the tour-nament in Baltimore, Clare will be heading to San Diego, California in January for another recruiting tournament.

His future plans to attend college or univer-sity to study kinesiology and play lacrosse, hope-fully on a scholarship.

His first choice would be the University of North Carolina, but also has eyes on Ohio State University so he can fol-low friend and neigh-bour Logan Schuss.
