What do North Deltans treasure most about their community?
Mark Sakai, executive director of the Delta Mu-seum and Archives Society, is curious to fi nd out. Whether it’s the mighty Fraser River, the ancient archaeology sites along its banks, or the commu-nity’s long fi shing history, Sakai wants to know what people, places and things the residents of North Delta identify with.
It’s part of a Delta Museum and Archives out-reach program that hopes to connect North Delt-ans to their community’s history, and strengthen the link between the northern and southern sec-tions of the municipality.
The Delta Museum and Archives was founded in 1969 by a group of Ladner historians and most modern-day Ladnerites are at least somewhat fa-miliar with their town’s fi shing village heritage and early pioneering families.
But it’s a different story in the North. For some, there is a perception that North Delta is simply a residential suburb that emerged after the George Massey Tunnel was built. But in fact, North Delta has a rich past predating the 20th century that may surprise some locals.
“Certainly Annieville has tremendous history. The very fi rst salmon cannery in British Colum-bia was established in Annieville at Gunderson Slough,” Sakai said. “It has traditionally been a settlement where Scandinavian immigrants came—hence the name Gunderson Slough.”
Meanwhile, Trinity Lutheran Church remains one of the oldest churches in Delta and Kennedy Trail—which was built by early settlers to link the Fraser River and Mud Bay—is an important his-toric landmark in North Delta, Sakai said.
In February, the Delta Museum and Archives will hold “mind-mapping” workshops with repre-sentatives from North Delta schools, local busi-nesses, the South Asian community, church con-gregations, and other interested parties.
Participants will be asked what they treasure most about North Delta. And with the under-con-struction South Fraser Perimeter Road slated to
North Delta's Avcorp Industries celebrated comple-tion of the first shipment of wing components for the new F-35 fighter aircraft on Jan. 19.
The J-35 is the latest fighter ordered by the Royal Canadian Air Force. Estimated to cost around $117 million each, the J-35 is slated to replace the aging F-18. Canada has ordered 65 planes.
Avcorp will work on 240 to 360 of the aircraft ordered by various customers, depending on how many of the aircraft carrier variant are ordered.
On hand to mark the event was Julian Fantino, Associate Minister of National Defence and Delta Richmond-East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
The contract is worth around $500 million and is expected to employ 50 to 75 workers over 10 to 15 years, said mark Van Rooij, CEO of Avcorp Indus-tries.
Avcorp presently has 550 employees.
After taking a hiatus in 2011 due to construction of the 80th Street Overpass, the Boundary Bay Air-port Airshow is set to return this summer.
On Monday (Jan. 16) Delta Council approved Alpha Aviation’s request to host the 2012 Bound-ary Bay Airshow with a beer and/or wine garden on July 28.
The Corporation of Delta will contribute $20,000 cash toward the event.
The 2009 and 2010 airshows were attended by more than 5,000 people.

Achieving topperformance in sportDelta Sport Council offers free workshop with noted coach
The Delta Sport Council will be hosting a free education workshop next month on developing key sports performance habits.
This session should be of interest to anyone who is interested in learning how to ‘get out of your own way’ and explore who you are and what you can become, especially athletes of all ages, par-ents of young athletes, coaches, and sport group administrators, said Barry Howard, president of the Delta Sport Council.
Marc Bowles, an athlete development advisor with Canadian Sport Centre-Pacifi c will lead the session.
Bowles is the lead performance director for both Team BC Canada Games, and Western Canada Summer Games. He oversees performance prepa-ration and planning for all sports attending the games with a focus to ensure national, provincial, regional athletes, coaches and teams perform to their highest levels.
The session is scheduled for Feb. 2 from 7-9 p.m. at the Delta Sport Development Centre (4680 Clarence Taylor Crescent).

SFPR's mitigationefforts highlightedNew highway on schedule for 2013 completionChristine Lyon, reporterSouth Delta Leader
As construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road continues, some adjustments are being made to alleviate environmental and residential con-cerns.
On Jan. 16, Geoff Freer, executive director of the Gateway Program, presented a project update to Delta Council and responded to councillors' que-ries.
Freer said the alignment of the road has been shifted away from North Delta's Brooke Elemen-tary School in response to concerns expressed by residents. He added the North Delta area will have a split-grade highway that will include a noise fence and/or landscaping—depending on what residents want.
Freer said hedgerows have been planted to help birds fl y up over the highway and 10,000 trees have been planted with another 30,000 trees anticipated to be planted in Delta prior to completion of the road.
The North Delta escarpment will also be planted and landscaped, walls will be erected for stability, and drainage issues will be addressed.
Freer said more than $100,000 has been spent on heritage-related items, including photo records of properties, a recognition site at St. Mungo’s, and work on the Kennedy Trail. He said Gateway contin-ues to work with the Delta Museum and Archives on compiling historical information for the fi shing and agriculture communities.
In a Power Point presentation, Freer noted the en-tire route is currently under construction. The High-
way 17 interchange is nearly fi nished and there are three overpasses complete in southwest Delta.
The entire 40-kilometre-long, four-lane route should be open to traffi c in 2013.
Critics have argued the project comes at the ex-pense of large swathes of farmland, some of the best First Nations archaeological sites in the region, and considerable amounts of wildlife and riparian zones.
In his presentation, Freer noted the project in-cludes an upgrade to Delta's irrigation system and more than 30 enhancement projects related to fi sh-eries and wildlife.
He listed project benefi ts which include less truck traffi c on River Road, 90 per cent less truck traf-fi c on River Road in North Delta, reduced port and ferry traffi c through Ladner and an alternative route in the event of a traffi c accident.

Scald PreventionSafety TipsSafety TipsScald Prevention
A scald injury can happen at any age. Children, older adults and people with disabilities are especially at risk. Hot liquids from bath water, hot coffee and even microwaved soup can cause devastating injuries. Scald burns are the second leading cause of all burn injuries.
www.nfpa.org/education
Prepackaged microwavable soups are a frequent cause of scald burn injuries (especially noodle soups) because they can easily tip over, pouringhot liquid(and noodles)on theperson.
Scald Safety KKK Teach children that hot things can burn. Install anti-scald
devices on tub faucets and shower heads.KKK Always supervise a child in or near a bathtub.KKK Test the water at the faucet. It should be less than 100°
Fahrenheit (38° Celsius).KKK Before placing a child in the bath or getting in the bath
yourself, test the water.KKK Test the water by moving your hand, wrist and forearm
through the water. The water should feel warm, not hot, to the touch.
KKK Place hot liquids and food in the center of a table or toward the back of a counter.
KKK Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.
KKK Open microwaved food slowly, away from the face.KKK Never hold a child while you are cooking, drinking a hot
liquid, or carrying hot foods or liquids.KKK Never heat a baby bottle in a microwave oven. Heat baby
bottles in warm water from the faucet.KKK Allow microwaved food to cool before eating.KKK Choose prepackaged soups whose containers have a
wide base or, to avoid the possibility of a spill, pour the soup into a traditional bowl after heating.
FACT!
Treat a burn right away. Cool the burn with cool water for 3–5 minutes. Cover with a clean, dry cloth. Get medical help if needed.

It's all about re-moving barriers to a healthy lifestyle.
That's what Carlene Lewall says when de-scribing the role of KidSport Delta, an or-ganization that raises funds to help provide children from needy families across the community with the cost of participating in local sports programs.
Established in 2005, KidSport Delta is just getting off the ground locally, although the provincial organiza-tion has already sup-plied funds for young Deltans over the past few years.
Now, the move is on to create awareness about KidSport in Del-ta and raise funds.
Helping kick that off was the South Delta
Baptist Church and its annual spring Straw-berry Tea which pro-vided $1,000 to Kid-Sport Delta.
"The health of our children is very im-portant and with so many studies showing the decline of activity in our children it is alarming," said Lewall, the local chapter pres-ident. "Sport Canada's Report Card is stating that only nine per cent of today's children are getting the required 90 minutes of physical activity."
Lewall said this is an alarming fact and the fi nancial barriers causing children not to be active should be eliminated.
It's an idea that has caught on. Today there are 177 commu-nity KidSport chapters across Canada.
All local donations will be given directly to Delta children. And applicants can apply for up to $200 a fi s-
cal year to help them become active in the sport of their choice.
The offi cial launch of KidSport Delta will
be mid-February.More information
will soon be available on KidSport Delta's Facebook page.

Tsawwassen entrepreneur and philanthropist Ir-ving (Ike) Barber joined former B.C. premier Mike Harcourt in receiving honorary law degrees from the Justice Institute of B.C. on Wednesday (Jan. 18).
"Both of these individuals have made profound and sustained contributions to the quality of life enjoyed by residents of British Columbia," said JIBC president Jack McGee in a press release. "In particular, their shared belief in the power of education to effect positive change in our communities has been a catalyst for the contin-ued growth and development of the province."
Barber’s philanthropic support has been instrumental in helping establish programs to promote education and research. The Irving K. Bar-ber One World International scholarship provides out-standing recent graduates of JIBC’s Career Fire Fighter Pre-Employment Certifi cate with an opportunity to broaden their understanding of the cultural aspects of serving communities through fi re protection services.
Barber has also made signifi cant donations to UBC and Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

The Boundary Bay Air Show is doing a flyby for
2011.Organizers and municipal officials announced
last December the event will not be held this year.
The free event, which draws roughly 7,000 spec-
tators to watch aerobatic and ground-based dis-
plays each June, is scheduled to return in 2012.
The reason for the break is due to the 80 St. over-
pass and road construction along 72 St. and Ladner
Trunk Rd.The work limits access to Boundary Bay Airport
and raises concerns over public safety.

Philip Raphael, editorSouth Delta LeaderThere's plenty of mud on site and the
roadways leading up to the fi rst phase of the Tsawwassen Springs development aren't quite fi nished yet.But come spring the work is expected
to be done and Ron Toigo's residential project that has been four years in the making at the Tsawwassen Golf Course can resume building on its early sales fi gures.
To date, 33 of the 53 homes in the four-storey wood frame condo building—the fi rst of four buildings to be constructed on the site—overlooking the expanded portion of the golf course have been sold.
Those decent numbers are made even more impressive when you factor in the project does not yet have a website—one is soon to be up and running (tsawwas-sensprings.ca)—and very little advertis-ing was bought to promote the project.
Toigo, managing director of Shato Hold-ings, says customers pretty much had to buy on faith, plus computer images and drawings of the buildings."So, it's nice for customers to actu-
ally see what they have bought," he says while conducting a tour of the site along with daughter Sarah who is tasked with selling the units through Royal LePage Regency Realty Ltd.The condo units range from 800 to
around 1,600-square-feet and prices pric-es start in the high $300,000 mark and go
up to the $700,000-plus level.Sarah Toigo says the demographic the condos have been aimed at are empty nesters with the vast majority of sales so far made to local buyers."We've got a huge demand for them
locally," Sarah says, "and what's been re-ally nice, actually, is a lot of people who supported us in the public hearing have continued to maintain interest and buy. And we've got a list of more than 300 people who have been word of mouth."

Funds raised help buy emergency supplies for Delta students The large red cloth-
ing boxes popping-up at Delta Schools over the past year do more than provide clothing for those in need.
They are also helping to keep local students safe.
Beginning in May 2010, the Delta School District emergency pre-paredness committee, along with the Delta Fire Fighters’ Charita-ble Society, initiated a clothing drop box pro-gram to raise money for school emergency pre-paredness programs.
The community is encouraged to drop off old clothes, shoes, books, and the like. These items are then gathered and sent to African communities in need. When the do-nations are collected from each box they are weighed and the schools receive eight cents a pound.
The program initial-ly started with seven
schools participat-ing. Now, there are 16 schools taking part and so far $5,830 has been raised.
All of the money from each school’s bin, goes directly to that school’s emergency prepared-ness. Supplies are pur-chased for the schools, such as food, water, tarps, and other emer-gency kit materials.
“It is truly a great opportunity to be able to help those in need, while also raising mon-ey for supplies that will help ensure our schools are prepared for poten-tial emergencies,” said Vanessa Ezaki, the Delta School District’s safety, health and emergency preparedness offi cer.

English Bluff Elementary school parent Corrie Clark loves producing art projects with kids. But the most recent one she has been involved with at the Tsawwassen school has been tinged with sadness.
The painted wooden fi gures and houses depicting a happy street scene on a portion of the Tsawwas-sen school's exterior have fallen vic-tim to repeated acts of vandalism.
"The kids painted fl owers, houses and trees," said Clark who helped install the project in June, which used recycled wood and was spon-sored by Home Depot. "About 30 of the 120 or so pieces have been dam-aged over a period of time."
As a result of the incidents all of the damaged pieces have been tak-en down and Clark hopes to recre-
ate the work, in paint, directly on the school's wall where they once stood.
English Bluff principal Cathy Hussey told the Leader the destruc-tion of the art was hurtful not only for the students who laboured as a collective to produce it, but to par-ents and neighbours of the school.
"It's unusual to see children's art vandalized in this manner," Hussey said. "You can understand tagging (graffi ti), but when you see parts broken off, like arms and heads from little fi gures, it's diffi cult."
The fact the students, from kin-dergarten to Grade 7, pooled their efforts to work on the art, meant they as a community took serious ownership of the display, their prin-cipal added.

cut along the northern border of town, Sakai expects the dialogue will get interesting.
Last summer, the his-toric Glenrose Cannery on River Road was de-molished to make way for the new highway.
Based on the out-comes of these work-shops, artists will produce fi ve works of multimedia art that will form the centre of an exhibition scheduled to open this summer at the Delta Museum in Ladner Village. Sakai says that exhibit will likely tour through oth-er communities.
Historic North Delta photographs and arti-facts will also be show-cased.
While the outreach project hopes to shine a light on the past, Sakai says the purpose is really more about connecting North and South Delta.
“(North Delta) is a community that started after the tunnel was completed and (resi-dents) don’t really as-sociate very much with Ladner or Tsawwas-sen,” he said.
Although the two Deltas are linked by
roads and fall under the jurisdiction of the same municipal government, Sakai says the commu-nities seem more like “individual islands.”
“The difference with North Delta though is that North Delta isn’t so much an island. It’s more of a penin-sula because it’s really contiguously attached to North Surrey,” he said, explaining the municipal borderline was drawn down 120th Street in 1871.
Sakai hopes this project will ignite inter-est among those who don’t typically visit the museum or identify themselves as history buffs.
“What we hope is that people get a more thorough understand-ing of what’s important in their community and also a connection to the role the Museum and Archives has in preserving the key ele-ments of the communi-ty,” he says. “We hope that (residents) will understand that every community has—and all residents of the community have—dif-ferent things that they treasure.”reporter@southdelta-leader.com

Never too late to make music Adult beginners taking up instruments at new continuing education courseBoaz Joseph, reporterSurrey North Delta Leader
Ever wish you could go back in time to when you were a kid and blow your own horn? Maybe fi nd your rhythm? Want to pull some strings?
Brenda Khoo can help.
She's the instruc-tor of a new Adult Be-ginner Concert Band course offered by Delta Continuing Education.
It's not a class for pros, rather for adults who have little or no experience in playing woodwind, brass or percussion instruments but wish to learn or re-learn—even if they can't read music.
Khoo, who was a high school English and music teacher in Delta from 1994 to 2005, plays a variety of instruments in the Delta Music Makers concert band.
She says the reason she started the pro-gram is because among the 20 or more Lower
Mainland adult bands, there were none for people who had no playing experience.
She found a high level of enthusiasm in the fi rst 18 adults who showed up in Sep-tember to sample and choose their instru-ments—the fi rst visit showed them the dif-ference between a pic-colo and fl ute, a clari-net and an oboe, and the different toms of a drum set.
Tsawwassen's Pat Dunn brought a trum-pet he'd recently pur-chased.
"As a kid, like a lot of people, I took piano lessons," says the semi-retired 60-year-old.
He played a bit of percussion (snares, cymbals) in a junior band decades ago, but decided recently, with more time on his hands, to learn how to properly play his new instrument.
He found the course in a Delta Continuing Education pamphlet and joined up, know-ing only a little more
than which end of the trumpet to blow in and only the basics of how read music for it.
"I don't want you to get the idea you have to read music to do this," he says, adding that he was still more advanced—and older—
than many of the other students.
"You just have to start making noise with any instrument."
His teacher, he says, "is fantastic. She's very nurturing. The class is a wonderful environ-ment for learning this
stuff."The adult students
are indeed keen.The proof happens
each Wednesday, says Dunn.
"At the end of class, nobody leaves."
"There's nothing wrong with teaching kids, but if you teach little kids, they're not there by choice," ex-plains Khoo. "I fi nd that adults are very much like seniors in high schools where they're choosing the band elec-tive and they're choos-ing to give up another course.
Adult Beginner Con-cert Band classes take place Wednesday eve-nings in the music room of Delta Second-ary School, 4615 51 St. in Ladner.
Register by phone (Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at 604-940-5550. Regis-ter for Course #10449. For more information, visit http://www.del-tamusicmakers.org/Be-ginnerBand.htmlbjoseph@surreyleader.com

What do artists with a collective sense of identity do when their funding disappears?They band together and get creative.Watershed Artworks Society's gallery and gift
shop in North Delta gives visitors an idea of the talent and enthusiasm in the local arts commu-nity.
With a fresh and eye-catching paint job on its exterior and a refurbished interior, 500-square-feet of space is fi lled with paintings, sculptures, jewelry, decorative objects (including wood), photography and textiles.Watershed Arts Society came into being ear-lier this year after the Delta Arts Council (DAC) gave up control of its gallery shop to the Corpo-ration of Delta following major provincial fund-ing cuts announced two years ago.At the same time, Delta took over the nearby Firehall Centre for the Arts, as well as the Tsaw-wassen Arts Centre—although the DAC was giv-en an extra year in the buildings to sort things out.
In March, several members of the DAC decid-ed to keep the gallery shop open themselves."We want to bring art back to the community. I think it's been sadly neglected," says Water-shed president Bev Mason. "If a group like ours gets together, it becomes a lifeline of artists in the community."
"The arts council was in a lot of fl ux and they had a lot of issues between them and the Corporation (of Delta) to sort and we felt like we didn't want to be possibly missed out in all the decision-making," says Kathy Lane, a Wa-tershed director. "If we wanted to maintain a shop, we'd have to be proactive and maintain it ourselves."
Watershed, a non-profi t society, is a separate entity from the DAC, but its artists are still mem-bers of the arts council."Our mission is to provide a space for local artists to display and sell their work," says Wa-tershed vice-president June Bergen-Holt.While the DAC continues to organize theatre
George Mackie Library (8440 112 St.) has part-nered with Options, Progressive Intercultural Com-munity Services (PICS), and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. to bring settlement workers to North Delta. North Delta residents, new to Canada, no longer need to leave their own community to take advan-tage of this free and confidential service. Settlement and Integration Services are free for immigrants, refugees and their families in British Columbia.
Settlement workers speaking Punjabi and English will be available on Tuesdays from 4–8 p.m. and Mandarin and English speaking settlement workers will be available on Thursdays from 1–5 p.m.This is a drop-in program. For more information, call 604-594-8155.
Delta Police, in co-operation with Delta Fire and the Corporation of Delta are hosting a free seminar on the Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness Program, or NEPP. It is intended to prepare you and your family to weather the first 72 hours of a disaster. The seminar takes place Monday, Nov. 28 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Tsawwassen First Nation Recreation Center, 1929 Tsawwassen Dr. Contact your local Community Police Station (CoPS) for more info.
Watch for Delta Police on the roads this holiday season. The department is kicking off its annual Drinking and Driving Counter Attack Program begin-ning mid-November through to Jan. 1, 2012.During these roadblocks, which will be set up throughout Delta, police will be conducting drinking and driving checks, and will also be on the lookout for speeders and seatbelt violations.Delta Police say they will also be visible in drink-ing establishments, and will be conducting roving patrols near these premises to remind patrons to not drink then drive.
