LAND INDECISION—Members of the Tsawwassen Area Plan Committee were divided on the future use
of the 200 hectare Southlands property where owners Century Group had proposed developing housing
plus recreation and agricultural facilities. Philip Raphael photo
Area plan committee divided
Future use of Southlands to go before Delta Council next Monday
PHILIP RAPHAEL
EDITOR
T
he future of the Southlands prop-
erty now rests in the hands of Delta
Council after the Tsawwassen Area
Plan committee passed its recommenda-
tions Thursday night (Aug.19).
The committee approved a number of
recommendations covering higher density
radiating out from the Tsawwassen town
core area, but could not come to a con-
sensus on the controversial 200-hectare
parcel of farmland that owners Century
Group would like to develop with a blend
of residential, commercial, recreational
and agricultural uses.
Committee chairperson Coun. Bruce
McDonald said it was not much of a sur-
prise the group was divided on the issue
of making a recommendation on the pro-
posal from Century Group to construct
1,900 homes on one third of the site, with
the remainder left for community ameni-
ties and farming.
The property, currently zoned agricul-
ture by Delta and not part of the Agricul-
tural Land Reserve, was the subject of one

of the longest public hearings in Canadian
history 20 years ago when other develop-
ment plans were put forward.
McDonald said a survey conducted by the
Corporation of Delta showed the community
was also divided on the issue—with roughly
60 per cent opposed to development.
The matter is now expected to go before
Delta Council on Aug. 30.
Sean Hodgins, president of Century
Group said following the meeting in a
nearly full council chamber, said he was
unsure what he will do with the land now
it has not received a clear recommendation
from the area plan committee.
"I haven't really thought it through,"
said Hodgins, quickly adding he was not
going to give up on the proposal to develop
Southlands.
"I think there's a lot this land has to
offer and I wish the door had been kept
open more to examine the possibilities,"
he said. "Obviously, it really wasn't in the
OCP (Official Community Plan)."
Hodgins said he would have liked a
clearer response from the area plan com-
mittee.
"I was hoping they'd had a more defini-

tive examination of options for the prop-
erty than just closing the door."
Dana Maslovat, a member of the com-
munity-based group Southlands: The Facts,
said he was pleased with the outcome.
"I think overall it's positive," Maslovat
said. "What we were hoping to achieve was
maintaining the agricultural designation
of Southlands. And I think that's the com-
mittee's report going forward. I am a little
disappointed in the committee's docu-
ment that it was not a consensus, that's
the reality of it. Really, only one person on
the committee was opposed to it so I think
it's representative of what the majority of
what the public wants."
As for what happens when the issue
comes before Delta Council, Maslovat
said his group will be keeping an eye on
the matter.
"I would be shocked if council didn't
move forward with a new Tsawwassen
Area Plan that maintains the agricultural
designation. Anything could happen," he
said, adding, "It's the logical solution. It's
what's right. And hopefully council will do
what's right."

Fisherman presumed
drowned on Fraser
A 33-year-old North Delta man is missing and pre-
sumed drowned after slipping into the Fraser River while
fishing Tuesday evening (Aug. 24).
The incident occurred at around 5:45 p.m. at the Old
Orchard Road access point near Chilliwack Mountain.
Police say the man was fishing with a friend when he
slipped from the rocks into the fast moving water. His
friend jumped into the water in an attempt to save him,
but had to be pulled from the water by a nearby boater.
RCMP helicopter Air 1, Chilliwack Search and Rescue,
police and numerous fisherman searched for the body for
several hours but were unable to locate the male. The search
was called off at dusk and recommenced Wednesday.
Since the sockeye season opened on the Fraser, there
have been several near drownings.
Police said this latest incident is tragic reminder to be
safe when on, or near, the water. Life jackets should be
worn at all times when on a boat or standing on the
river's edge near deep or swift water.
The Chilliwack RCMP thanked the people who assist-
ed in pulling one of the males from the water, and for
their ongoing search efforts for the missing Delta man.

Where to vote early
Deltans who cannot head to the polls Sept. 18 for the
municipal byelection can support their favourite can-
didate for council on advance voting days, which take
place Sept. 4, 8 and 9, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters can cast their ballots at the North Delta Rec-
reation Centre (11415 84th Ave.), Delta Municipal Hall
(4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent) and the South Delta
Recreation Centre (1720 56th St.).
Half of Hydro homes sold
The provincial government has sold about half of the
homes it bought out last summer in response to outrage
over an upgrade of the overhead power lines that run
across a BC Hydro right-of-way in Tsawwassen.
Susan Danard, manager of media relations with
BC Hydro, said as of Aug. 13, 42 homes of the 104
acquired had sold and another six were under sales
contracts to be completed.
Since the grand opening of "Tsawwassen Heights"
Sept. 12 of last year the homes, mainly on 53A Street,
have been put up for sale in groups of about 20 at a time
to prevent swamping the local real estate market.
The B.C. Ministry of Energy offered to purchase the
homes in response to homeowners who protested the
upgrade, concerned the exposure to electromagnetic fields
from the new lines would contribute to health issues such
as cancer. Many residents had hoped the government
would take a precautionary approach and bury the lines.

In a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per
cent of residents are first- and second-generation
immigrants, it’s difficult to comprehend the
vitriolic—and inaccurate—comments being said
about the Tamil migrants now in our midst.
Eariler this month, 492 people from Sri Lanka
arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun
Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83
per cent of Canadians were upset that the Tamil
migrants jumped the immigration queue; 63 per
cent wanted Canada to turn the MV Sun Sea
away; and just 35 per cent would allow the Tamil
migrants to claim refugee status.
First off, there has been no “queue-jumping.”
Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at
any point of entry in Canada—including airports,
the U.S.-Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case,
in Canadian waters—at any time and without
advance notice.
Queues are in place for would-be Canadians
abroad (ie. skilled workers or investors) who are in

and it’s déjà vu all over again.
Sadly, the forces of all-party
electoral ethno-politics have
dogged all efforts to reform a
system that, courtesy of the
“Golden Gate” of the Canadian
Charter, had turned us into a
willing door-mat for all those
bent on taking advantage of
our self-imposed “impotence”
to protect the integrity of our
borders.
As long as Ottawa’s political
mindset stubbornly opposes
the notion of real reform of the
Western world’s most generous
and porous refugee system, by
hiding behind the universality
of Canada’s sacrosanct Charter
of Rights and Freedoms, we
will indeed remain “the land of
trusting fools,” as put so aptly
in Western democracies, by
extending full civil rights to
any and all non-residents
having set foot on sovereign
national soil, the Canadian
Charter has opened a veritable
“Pandora’s Box” of refugee
and immigration abuse and
resulted in a virtual inability
to effectively and expeditiously
deal with undesirables freely
flocking to our shores.
The Supreme Court’s 5:4
“Singh Decision” in 1985,
forever changed the 1976
Immigration Act, making the
Canadian Charter UNIVERSAL
by guaranteeing “every-one ...
the right to life, liberty and
security of the person ...”,
resulting in endless litigation,
negating the law and serving
as the major stumbling block
reserved for those afflicted by
genuine persecution in other
nations.
A s l o n g a s C a n a d a’s
Charter of Rights serves as a
shining beacon to all comers,
guaranteeing full civil rights
to any and all non-residents,
people smugglers won’t have to
worry about losing clients.
By enabling them to virtually
guarantee their clients the
protection of the Charter,
once delivered to Canadian
soil, the Charter’s unrestricted
universality remains a veritable
boon to a growing industry
of people smugglers and
continues to serve as a powerful
magnet to all comers.
E.W. Bopp,
Tsawwassen
After much public outcry and political
opposition, the Royal Canadian Navy forced
the vessel from the harbour, and following four
miserable months at sea, 20 passengers were killed
and nine wounded in an altercation when the ship
arrived back in Calcutta.
Two years ago this month, Prime Minister
Stephen Harper—speaking to a crowd of
approximately 8,000 people in Bear Creek Park—
apologized for the Komagata Maru incident.
Are the Tamils somehow deserving of different
treatment?
Currently incarcerated, their backgrounds will be
investigated—including allegations of terrorist links

Canada is not awash in refugees, accepting
less than 20,000 annually. Meanwhile, 20 million
people displaced from their homes around the
world are taken in by poverty-stricken countries in
Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. With all of
our wealth, Canada accepts less than 0.01 per cent
of global refugees.

MEET YOUR Delta's byelection

CANDIDATES

their say at first
public debate

KRISTINE SALZMANN to the community, with Paton and Pandher Pandher said the problem is not a lack of tax in that community.
REPORTER recognizing 62 per cent of respondents to a incentives but a longtime position of ignor- One of the questions submitted for the
municipal survey said they want to see the ing the problem by past Delta councils. candidates asked what they would do to

A
bout 250 people came to the Delta
Town and Country Inn Aug. 24 to hear
what their candidates for municipal
council had to say at the first public debate in
the lead up to the Sept. 18 byelection.
Eight people are vying for a single seat on
Delta council, which become vacant after
the unexpected death of longtime Council-
lor George Hawksworth in March.
Two of the candidates—Amy Ghuman Sara
and Ray Robinson—were unable to attend
what is so far the only public debate planned
prior to election day.
The audience chuckled when the question
everyone knew would come was asked off the
bat: what is their opinion on the future use of
the controversial Southlands development
proposal.
Sylvia Bishop and Kathleen Higgins stated
they want the Southlands to be preserved as
farmland. Sandeep Pandher, Ian Paton and
Maria DeVries said council needs to listen
land remain agricultural.
Peter Harms spoke in favour of Century
Group's working plan.
"Southlands is a world class urban plan
with integrated habitat aspects where people,
land and wildlife, like cranes, ducks and sea
birds, will live intimately together, serving,
supporting and enjoying each other . . . I stud-
ied the plan that (Century Group president
Sean) Hodgins developed and coming from
Europe, I really enjoy that plan," he said.
The debate then turned to North Delta and the
need to revitalize the Delta side of Scott Road.
Paton said council needs to offer tax incen-
tives to encourage development on the busy
street that divides Delta and Surrey.
"There are buildings on Scott Road that are
fire traps. They've been there since 1965," he
said. "Let's get going, let's get some tax incen-
tives to developers and make Scott Road a
busy, busy and great place to go shopping on
the Delta side, not the Surrey side."
"We have representatives who have been
there since 1972," he said. "This is not a new
issue, it's just that it's been ignored for a very
long time."
When asked about how they would make
North Delta a safer place to live—a number of
women have suffered random attacks in recent
months—DeVries and Paton said residents need
to be encouraged to get to know each other and
create neighbourhood watch programs.
Bishop recommended creating a posi-
tion for a social planner at municipal hall to
help deal with the social needs of a culturally
diverse community.
Pandher, who speaks Hindi, Punjabi and
Urdu, said the ethnic diversity of North Delta
creates challenges in understanding cultures
and communicating, and that the gap could
be bridged with diversity on council.
Tsawwassen resident Peter Harms admit-
ted he is unfamiliar with North Delta, and
passed on questions that focused on issues
enhance relationships with the neighbour-
ing communities of Richmond, Surrey and
the Tsawwassen First Nation.
Higgins said Delta should look to Surrey
to learn from the challenges they've faced in
managing secondary suites now Delta has
legalized them in single family homes.
Noting he cannot stand big box stores, casi-
nos and ugly housing developments, Paton
said, "I really don't think we can take any-
thing good from what Richmond has done
and what Surrey has done."
DeVries echoed that sentiment, stating Delta
does not want to be Richmond or Surrey.
Paton added during the rebuttal round
that, "If TFN thinks they're going to put in
a big box shopping mall and wipe out Tsaw-
wassen and Ladner business, I'll throw myself
in front of the bulldozers."
Pandher and Bishop emphasized the
importance of communicating with the
Tsawwassen First Nation government.

Doolan's mother died of cancer in

the ailment in his family.
But that wasn't what led Doolan,
who moved to Canada from the U.K. in
1974, to almost predict the diagnosis.
"When I went to see the doctor at the

great way to enjoy a cool and sweet

The recipe is from Carley's step-

fessional who lost her mom to cancer
about five years ago.
And that leads to idea number two:
staying healthy.

"I'm a foodie through and through and
it's nice to have a chance to work with a
professional chef," says Dodwell, adding
she was looking forward to learning some
tips from Moore.
For Dodwell's turn inside the busy
kitchen at the Rose & Crown prior to the
weekday afternoon rush, Moore had her
work on a pair of dishes listed on the
pub's menu that step outside the regular,
time-honoured favourites of burgers and
fries.

Moore said both dishes are easy "The salad, you could do in a matter of done, it's four to five hours."

learning a few new skills she plans to take
home with her.
"And it was nice to understand his
insights on food," she added.

2 FOR THE ROAD—Mazda's latest entry in the small car wars is the Mazda2 which packages the
automaker's reputation for quality into a thrifty ride. Philip Raphael photo
Small package delivers
New Mazda2 offers pint-sized ride with plenty of room inside
PHILIP RAPHAEL
EDITOR
'P
lease let it be the cute
little black car with fancy
rear spoiler, please."
Those were the thoughts rolling
through my mind as I pulled into
the Mazda Canada parking lot to
pick up one of the new Mazda2
models in its press fleet.
And I got my wish as I was
handed the key to the automak-
er's latest salvo in the small car
wars that is enlisting supporters
fueled mainly by high gasoline
prices.
I'm fond of small cars and have
driven quite a few European mod-
els that drivers on this side of the
pond can't get their hands on. So,
it's nice to see a pint-sized model
being offered in North America.
What I love about them is their
design when it comes to use of
limited space, an area where the
Mazda2 didn't disappoint.
Step inside and it's almost

exterior dimensions of the iconic
time machine made to resemble a
1950s-style London police phone
booth appears incapable of pro-

But the Mazda2 does just that
with plenty of shoulder and elbow
room.
Rear seats are enough for grade
school kids or adults on short
journeys. And five-door hatch-
back's trunk can pack away plenty
of groceries or luggage for a week-
end trip.
With a starting price of a mere
$13,995 you know this is meant
to be a econony-minded ride.
Although with Mazda's contin-
ued commitment to installing
high quality materials in the
cabin, and fine fit and finish on
the body—there was no cheap
metallic ping sound when clos-
ing the doors unlike some other
bargain cars—you'd have quite
rightly expected a much higher

Retaining Wall
Interlocking concrete blocks make constructing a retaining wall easy to do. You can
make planters in the middle of your lawn, terraced walls against your house, or build a
large retaining wall on a slope.

Patio
Paver stones are not only attractive, but they are virtually indestructible and low
maintenance. The individual nature of the stones allows you to alter or add to your
design at any time without any disruption, giving you unparalleled freedom.

Pond
Whether you want to build a KOI POND or a WATER GARDEN, or you just like listening
to the sound of a waterfall, we can help you out with both the know how and the
materials.

Pond Supplies
We carry ALL the supplies necessary for the needs of the Koi Pond and the water
gardener. All of our pond supplies such as plants, koi fish, pumps, liners, and filtration
systems and more are available at very affordable prices.

Organic Soil
Why settle for dirt? Get weed free organic soil and mulches.

Bark Mulch and Nuggets

Organic Mulching is one of the best ways to conserve water in your garden.

Rocks and Boulders

Crushed limestone is ideal for creating walkways or parking spaces; limestone packs to
a very solid surface. Crushed chips are ideal for use as a base for concrete segmented
retaining walls such as Allan Block, Pisa, and Terralite. Lava rock makes an attractive
addition to any garden or decorative area.
