Delta Mayor Lois Jacksonwill run for a fifth term in thisNovember’s civic election.

Jackson told the Optimist hername would “absolutely” be onthe ballot, adding she has neverbeen so excited about what’sgoing on in Delta as she is rightnow.

The incumbent’s statementscome on the heels of first-term councillor Heather King’sannouncement last Wednesdaythat she is making a run for themayor’s chair. Last month, for-mer councillor Krista Engellandkicked off the election talk whenshe announced she would make asecond bid for Delta’s top job.

“It’s a little bit early and I’vehad a lot of people contact me,especially since Krista came outof the gate early. So I thoughtwe’d just take the mystery outof that and it’s going to be veryexciting,” Jackson said.

“The future of Delta, in myopinion, is really very excitingand I’m happy to have competi-tion in the upcoming race. We’llhave a clear choice about whetherwe’re moving forward or movingbackwards.”

Jackson has spent the better

Mayor makes it three in raceWith two challengers already declared, incumbent Lois Jackson announces she’ll seek fifth term in November

A new schedule will greetworld-class cyclists when theyroll into town this weekend for the11th edition of the Tour de Delta.

A second criterium has beenadded, replacing the short-livedprologue, to make the cyclingweekend even more fan friend-ly. The first-ever MK Delta

Criterium goes Friday evening inNorth Delta.

The rest of the racing remainsthe same, with the BrencoCriterium set for Saturday eve-ning on the streets of LadnerVillage and the White Spot RoadRace in Tsawwassen on Sundaymorning.

“We’ve got probably thedeepest pro field in the historyof the event coming out,” saysTour de Delta race director MarkErnsting, who noted that addi-tions to B.C. Superweek havemade it more attractive for teamsto come to B.C. to compete.

The Tour de Delta acts as

the kick-off to this year’s B.C.Superweek, which also includesthe UBC Grand Prix, Giro diBurnaby and Tour de White Rock,a series of eight races in fourcommunities over 10 days.

Around 200 riders, both maleand female, are expected todescend on Delta.

The improvements hap-pening at Centennial Beachwill make an already greatattraction one of the besttourism spots in the LowerMainland, but that word hasto get out.

That’s what MayorLois Jackson had to saywhen asked about whatthe various improvementsunderway or planned at theTsawwassen beach couldmean for Delta.

“I’m hoping this is some-thing we’re all going to beabsolutely delighted with.I think we’ve been in needof an upgrade anyway, evenfrom a sanitary point ofview for basic amenities atthe beach. I’m really hop-ing it’ll be a great place forpeople from all over thearea to visit,” said Jackson.

“It’s a great park and agreat location and in somerespects a bit of a hiddenjewel.”

Centennial Beach Park ismunicipally owned and isleased to Metro Vancouverto manage as part ofBoundary Bay RegionalPark.

Last year, Delta coun-cil approved the permitsneeded to allow the regionaldistrict to construct a newconcession building at thebeach. Preloading tookplace last fall.

However, the regionaldistrict only recently award-ed a contract to constructthe building, which is toopen later this year.

Council recentlyapproved a new masterplan for the beach parkthat contains a number ofother improvements, includ-

ing paving the northerlyparking lot as part of theconcession construction, aplaza space adjacent to theplayground, three picnicshelters along the north/south pathway and removalof the northerly backstopand infield to allow forless structured or organizedplay in the open field area,which could potentiallybecome festival space.

Some of the otherimprovements include

enhancing the existing ten-nis courts, leveling an areaadjacent to the tennis courtsfor use as a bocce ball areaand developing a formalbeach volleyball space atthe southerly edge of thepark.

Last year the playgroundat the park was expanded toprovide children with physi-cal disabilities a chance toplay.

Jackson said the wordhas to somehow get out

even more about the beachas well as the other greattourist sites available inDelta.

“It’s like the Reifel (bird)refuge and some of theother places. I think froma tourist point of viewwe’ve got all these wonder-ful things and I think weshould be on the map alittle bit more for some ofthe things we’ve got thatpeople can come and see,like Deas (Island Regional)

Park, Fred Gingell Park,so many things we’ve gotgoing here.”

Jackson said she’s count-ing on the Delta Chamberof Commerce to promotethe sites.

This spring, the chamberannounced it’s undertak-ing a collective effort withDelta to boost economicdevelopment in the munici-pality.

Inspired by success-ful economic initiatives in

Prince George, the localchamber said it has estab-lished an economic devel-opment working group, andhas been inviting key busi-ness leaders from Delta andthe region to take part andto help move the strategyforward.

Chamber chairperson IanTate told the Optimist tour-ism would be an importantcomponent.

“If you consider all theattractions, events andfeatures that the tourismsector has to offer here inDelta, there’s a multitudeof opportunities at our feet.Certainly tourism will bepart of the economic devel-opment strategy that wework to develop and workto implement,” he said.

Tate noted a new eco-nomic development entityhere could leverage themany different businessesopportunities in Delta,including the tourism sec-tor.

“If that involves promot-ing ourselves out and aboutin other parts of the LowerMainland, then so be it. Wewant to let people knowwhat a wonderful commu-nity we have,” he said.

B.C. Ferries, localaccommodations, eventsand attractions should all bepart of the new long-termplan when it comes to tour-ism, he said.

“Everything fromWestham Island toEarthwise Garden throughto Boundary Bay and theparks we have and theforeshore. Certainly it’ssomething to leverage andenjoy,” Tate said.

He noted the initiativeis still in its early stages ofdevelopment.

part of the last four decadesin Delta municipal politics.She was elected as themunicipality’s first femalealderman in 1972 and spentmost of the next 27 yearson council before beingelected mayor in 1999. Shehas subsequently been re-elected three times.

If given a fifth term byvoters, Jackson said sheplans on continuing to workto keep property taxes low,pay off the municipality’sdebt and build withoutincurring new debt.

Jackson, who has bestedcouncil veterans BruceMcDonald, Wendy Jeskeand Engelland in previouselections, will have to con-tend with two “name” can-

didates this time around.In making their

announcements, Engellandand King both touched ona similar theme, primarilythat municipal hall needs tolisten to the public. Jacksondismissed that claim asnothing more than anattempt to create an issuewhere none exists.

“We give answers to peo-ple by in large quicker thanyou can get an appointmentfrom your dentist. We’re onit right away, and althoughsometimes something fallsbetween the cracks orpeople aren’t happy withthe answer they’ve received,we’re accessible and havehad an open door policysince ‘99,” Jackson added.

In recent years the mayorhas had to deal with sev-eral weighty issues that arebeyond the municipality’scontrol, including Deltaportexpansion, the high voltagepower lines and the SouthFraser Perimeter Road.As far as issues withincouncil’s control, the onethat’s been most controver-sial recently has been theTsawwassen Area Plan and,in particular, the future ofthe Southlands.

Jackson, who’s also chairof the Metro Vancouverboard, ran with council-lors Robert Campbelland Scott Hamilton in2008 on a slate called theDelta Independent VotersAssociation after the trioleft Tri Delta. Even thoughthe group is officially anelectoral organization, the

three referred to themselvesas independents, as does therest of council.

Jackson defeatedEngelland, a 15-year coun-cil veteran and former ally,in 2008 due in large partto strong support in NorthDelta.

In that campaign

Engelland contendedJackson was distracted byregional issues, a claim themayor scoffed at.

Jackson received 52.4 percent of the vote comparedto Engelland’s 38.5 percent, although the challeng-er did beat the incumbent atthe Tsawwassen polls.

This is the first crack atthe mayor’s job for King,who topped the polls in herfirst bid for a council seatin 2008. She had been aschool trustee for the previ-ous six years.

The municipal electionwill be held Saturday, Nov.19.

July 6, 2011 The Delta Optimist A3

Two years of hard workpaid off last week for DeltaSecondary automotive stu-dents and instructor CaseyMynott.

The group completed thefirst runs with its electricdrag racing truck at MissionRaceway last Thursday andFriday.

It was an “awesome”feeling to do the first testrun, says Mynott, who hadfellow instructor DuncanCowen along for the initialride.

It was “amazing to seeall that hard work come to ahead,” he says, noting that itwas the “first run ever of anelectric vehicle in Canadaon a track.”

Four students got to doruns down the track onFriday.

The Toyota pickup, whichruns on 60 batteries, had abest time of 18 seconds at62 miles per hour with areaction time of one secondlast week, says Mynott. Inthe future, the truck shouldeasily get into the 13-, 14-second range at 100 milesper hour, he notes.

“That won’t be a prob-lem.”

Mynott says future plansinclude working out somehiccups and continuing todrag race the truck.

“The next time we go outis going to be very impres-

sive.”He says there’s something

special about this particularproject.

“The dedication to theproject, the engagement,is like no other I’ve everseen,” Mynott says.

He says around 120 stu-dents worked on the truckin some regard and onestudent passed up doinghis convocation to be at theshop last Wednesday nightto help prepare the truck forthe racetrack.

Here we have it. Patioevenings. Hammock after-noons. Lounge-on-the-grass-with-a-paperbackdays.

Forget all that. What wereally have is this: localstrawberries.

I have waited for themfor some time. I have, infact, waited for the betterpart of a year.

Strawberry shortcake.Strawberry cheesecake.Strawberries and vanilla icecream. Strawberries withjust strawberries.

Sure, there’ve beenCalifornia imitations. Allyear long. But comparingCalifornia strawberriesto the local stuff is, well,rather like comparing Tangto freshly squeezed juice.

No similarity whatever.“They’re here!” I

announced breathlessly,bounding in the door. “Thelocal strawberries havearrived!”

I had just been to thegrocery store — and seenthem.

The family, which tendsto get more excited aboutRory McIlroy drives thanproduce unveilings, lookeddecidedly unimpressed.

“I want to get 15 flats!” Isaid. “We’re going to makejam! We’re going to makesmoothies! We’re going tothrow them on cereal anddip them in chocolate!”

The members of thehousehold looked at me,apparently taken aback bythe “we” word.

“I don’t know how tomake jam,” one of the sonsobserved.

“OK!” I said. “So I’llmake the jam! But you haveto help me carry the flats tothe car!”

The family, let’s just say,enjoys the arrival of HappyLocal Produce Season asmuch as anyone — when itcomes to the eating part.

The family does not,however, feel the thrill Ifeel when I spy strawberries— or corn or new potatoesor green beans or leaf let-tuce or beefsteak tomatoes— that have been raised inour neck of the woods.

There is nothing, abso-lutely nothing, like waitinga winter (and also a drizzlyspring) and then spying astrawberry — a perfect,juicy, red-through-the-mid-dle strawberry — waitingto be adopted at the grocerystore. Except, perhaps, for ahammock afternoon.

“Let’s see,” I said. “Weneed canning jars. Andlids. And Certo. And sugar.And a new blender to makethe smoothies. And somechocolate and ice creamand shortcake cups.”

I was making a list asfast as my hand could write.

“Wow,” said my husband.“You sure have to stock upon the supplies when straw-berry season arrives.”

Got that, I told him,grabbing my keys. Andraspberries are due up next.

Nothing compares tohomegrown berries

Ladner’s Grapes 4 Uhas once again raked inthe accolades at the 2011Wine Maker InternationalAmateur Wine Competition.

This year the locallyowned and operated U-brew wine shop entered117 bottles in the annualcompetition in Manchester,Vermont, and came awaywith 44 medals, includingU-Vint of the Year.

This is the second yearGrapes 4 U has taken homethe U-Vint of the Yearaward, which is given to thewinemaking supply storewhose customers outper-formed other similar shops.

The entries were allmade and bottled by eithercustomers or staff at theLadner operation.

The competition received4,235 entries from fivecountries. A total of 965judging hours were usedover the three-day competi-tion, the largest of its kindin the world.

Three different judgesassessed each entry and,while judging can be sub-jective, Grapes 4 U ownerDon Stewart said the pro-fessional feedback is useful.

“It’s just sort of a funthing,” he said.

And fun is the name ofthe game at the store.

“That’s the whole thing,to make it fun,” he said,adding staff members try tomake the whole process asocial one for customers.

U-brew shops have

helped make the processeasier for people who wantto make wine but avoidthe mess and some ofthe work that goes alongwith it. Under provincialregulations, the customer isobligated to add the yeastto start the fermentationprocess as well as bottleand cork the wine once itsdone, which can take sev-eral weeks, depending onthe type. Staff members atGrapes 4 U take care of therest.

While the wine is allmade from kits, Stewartsaid they have the abilityto blend different kindsto come up with a moreunique product in the end

and cater to a client’s spe-cific tastes.

“My primary benchmarkfor suggesting any wine toa customer is based on 19years of history of whatpeople have told me theylike,” he said.

The store has manyloyal customers who keepcoming back for the greatservice.

In addition to makingwine, the store also sellssupplies for the home vint-ner and prints custom winebottle labels.

Campaignstarting totake shape

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

It’s barely July but we already knowthree main combatants for the mayor’schair this November and, perhaps moretelling, the issue that’s likely to be at theheart of this fall’s campaign.

Both former five-term councillorKrista Engelland and rookie poll top-per Heather King have announced theirintention to challenge incumbent LoisJackson, who was not shy last weekin declaring she’ll seek a fifth term inDelta’s top post.

The fact two high profile candidateshave made their intentions public bythe beginning of summer suggests thiswill be as heated a race as any in recentmemory. In making their announce-ments, the pair also carved out how thisbattle will take shape and the rallying cry— “Give people a say into the goings onat city hall” — you’ll be sure to hear adnauseam this fall.

It’s been a common refrain in Deltaover the years, one Beth Johnson’s IDEAparty used more than 20 years ago togain control of civic government andthen Jackson employed to take over fromIDEA a decade later.

Now her two declared opponentsare using it as ammunition against theincumbent, claiming the current admin-istration isn’t heeding the wishes of theelectorate.

When Engelland announced her can-didacy early last month, she said: “I’mrunning because I firmly believe we needa new direction at city hall. I care deeplyabout Delta, its people, its history andits land use. As mayor, I intend to ensureDelta residents have a real say in theircommunity.”

King followed that up last week bysaying: “City hall needs to serve with thehighest level of integrity and transpar-ency. As mayor, I will ensure that therewill be candid, open debate to arriveat the best decision possible because Ibelieve in good, fair and honourable gov-ernance.”

I’m sure Jackson bristles at the allega-tions of a closed shop at municipal hall,but in politics, like many aspects of life,perception becomes reality and there’sdefinitely a view out there that not allvoices are being heard.

She’s a savvy politician so I’m certainDelta’s first-ever female council mem-ber will put on her best populist hat toconvince voters she’s deserving of a fifthterm, while her challengers will undoubt-edly court voters with the contention themayor’s lost touch with her constituents.

There are still four-and-a-half monthsto go before we head to the polls, butthe announcements over the last fewweeks ensure we’re in for an eventfulNovember.

Three weeks have passed sincethe Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver,and while just about everythingthat could be said about it has beensaid, I’m still going to add my twobits.

One thing I frequently heardin the wake of the riot was, “Thisisn’t what Vancouver is all about.”Really? In my mind, Vancouveris all about passively acceptingdisorder and property crime. It is acity that can’t host an event withoutsomeone getting stabbed ... unlessa billion dollars worth of securityis deployed.

The most amusing commentshave come from the Vancouverpolice and Mayor GregorRobertson, who claim, “there werean adequate number of policeofficers downtown for the Game 7festivities.” Huh? Was their plan to

allow some rioting? Is that why thepolice stood idly by and watchedthe destruction?

The VPD says it was moreimportant for it to protect lives thanproperty, but whose lives were atgreater risk than the poor folks leftalone to defend their stores?

Rioting represents a total break-down of societal order. WhatVancouver needed that night wassome good old-fashioned head-cracking Irish cops armed withbatons, or hefty shillelaghs.

On to the HST referendum: Veryrarely do I experience the level ofindecision I have over the HSTvote. I could go either way on it.

I know that when it comes toproductivity and economic devel-opment, economists believe con-sumption taxes are preferable toincome taxes.

However, that assumes an either-or-proposition. If my choice werebetween the HST and no incometaxes, or income taxes and no HST,then I would eagerly vote for theHST.

That’s not the case, though, andregardless of whether we vote foror against the HST we will still payincome taxes, and then pay moretaxes when we spend the residue.

Of course, Christy Clark has prom-ised to reduce the HST to 10 percent, but that’s really a shell game.

She could just as easily reducethe PST if we the voters choose to“extinguish” the HST. The Liberalads pitting the HST against thePST as, “10 per cent or 12 percent,” are a joke, and a more insult-ing one than Don Rickles has everdelivered.

As well, my principles make ithard for me to ignore the mannerin which the HST was introduced.Many pundits have stated thatvoting against the HST based onits introduction is akin to cuttingoff your nose to spite your face.Perhaps, but what’s the point ofhaving principles if you only exer-cise them when it benefits you todo so?

On the other hand, the expenseand turmoil that would result fromreverting to the PST/GST schemeseems wasteful and unnecessary.The HST system is also more effi-cient, and I’m all about efficiency.

So, I don’t know how I’ll vote,and the only thing the ad cam-paigns for and against the HSThave convinced me of is that bothsides are more full of crap than apoorly maintained septic tank.

Indecision over HST continuesdespite smelly sales pitches

Letters to the Editor

Editor:Re: We’re better off at

10%: MLA, letter to theeditor, July 1

Vicki Huntington mightstay away from partisanshipwhen it comes to Liberalsand New Democrats butshe certainly isn’t averse topoliticking in its worst formby playing all sides.

She says her vote in thelegislature “was a recogni-tion the government wasbribing us with a reducedtax” and then proceeds toaccept the bribe.

Why do the Liberals andNew Democrats both goafter her? It’s because we

have had no clear statementabout where she stands.

Since the outset, she’sbeen against the tax becauseof the way the Liberalslied about it and forced itthrough (although she didvote in favour in the initialvote in the legislature).

Again, her most recentletter does not attack thetax, but rather set its sightson the claim that she isamong those who would“impose” the tax.

She plays a fine line,such that even staunch sup-porters like Jennifer Thosshave been hoodwinked intobelieving Huntington is

against the HST.To date, I’ve seen noth-

ing from Huntington thatsuggests leadership thatgets to the core of the issue,which is that this is a taxshift from businesses toconsumers.

And why is this? Becausewhen you get right downto it, her “independence”amounts to an ideologicalalignment with the Liberaleconomic policies, mixedwith NIMBYism to quellthose of us who realizehow much our local area isbeing decimated by thesesame policies.

Editor:Re: MLA’s position on

HST shows she’s no differ-ent than governing Liberals,letter to the editor, June 29

Nic Slater wrote criticiz-ing MLA Vicki Huntington,claiming she was just fol-lowing the government lineon the HST. That’s incorrectand unfair.

When the HST was intro-duced, Huntington said shewould not support it as it

was then, but could supportit if it was reduced to 10 percent. How things change.Now that it is to become 10per cent, we can hardly sayHuntington is the follower,but we can say she wasright on the mark.

Knowing that half of thetaxes collected by the pro-vincial government pay forhealth care and education, Iam not about to vote “yes”and tie the government’s

hand as to how it will col-lect taxes.

It doesn’t make sensethat those who are loudestin opposition to the HST(such as the NDP, the healthand teachers’ unions) arethe ones who cry that notenough money is spent inthese areas.

I like the thoughtful,common sense positiontaken by my MLA.

B2 The Delta Optimist July 6, 2011

World-class cyclists willroll into town this weekendfor the 11th edition of theTour de Delta.

“We’ve got probably thedeepest pro field in the his-tory of the event comingout,” says Tour de Deltarace director Mark Ernsting,who noted that additions toB.C. Superweek have madeit more attractive for teamsto come to B.C. to compete.

Around 200 riders,both male and female,are expected to descendon Delta this weekend tocompete in three separateraces for a total of $25,000,the richest cycling purse inCanada.

It’s a kick-off to B.C.Superweek, which alsoincludes the UBC GrandPrix, Giro di Burnaby andTour de White Rock.

The first decade of theTour de Delta drew impres-sive international fields,including Olympians,national champions andother celebrated riders, atrend that will continue thisyear.

The race weekend willcommence on Friday at6:30 p.m. with the first-everMK Delta Criterium.

North Delta has alwaysplayed host to the openingrace of the Tour de Delta onFriday evening, originally ahill climb and most recentlya prologue, but this year ithas become a criterium.

“The change was madebecause we wanted to givean opportunity for the com-munity to become moreengaged and give a plat-form that allows for a bit

more of an entertainmentevent not only from the raceside of things but also forthe activities that we haveplanned around the event,”says Ernsting, noting therewill be things for kids to doas well as different kiosksand sponsor booths.

A criterium is a road raceof several laps on a shortcircuit, usually city streetsclosed to traffic, featuring

high-speed cornering andclose up action.

The 1.3-kilometre looparound the Social Heartarea of North Delta willinclude a fast downhillsection that will see racersreach speeds of up to 70km/h.

On Saturday, begin-ning at 5:15 p.m., LadnerVillage will host the popu-lar Brenco Criterium. It’s

become a fan favourite asa picturesque setting andbreakneck speeds combineto create a flash of colour asriders navigate the streets.

The weekend will con-clude on Sunday morningwith the White Spot RoadRace, a mass-start eventencompassing the com-munities of North Delta,Ladner and Tsawwassen.

The men’s route, which

was designed by OlympianBrian Walton and localcyclist Jamie Davidson, willbe a true test of endurancefor any top cyclist. It beginsin North Delta, passesthrough Ladner, incorpo-rates the flat, often windyfarmlands of the FraserRiver delta and concludeson a circuit that integratesTsawwassen’s most chal-lenging climbs for a totaldistance of 140 kilometres.

The women’s race startsand finishes in Tsawwassen,covering 88 kilometres.

The Tour de Delta week-end isn’t all about the seri-ous cyclist. A pair of KidsCrits, prior to the criteriumsin North Delta and Ladner,will allow youngsters towarm up the courses for thepros.

There will be a variety offood, activities and enter-tainment on the grounds ofRichardson Elementary dur-ing the MK Delta Criteriumon Friday evening, whilethe Tsawwassen RotaryClub will host a pancakebreakfast at Winskill Parkon Sunday morning.

The Tour de Delta isdivided into three races, twoof which, after a changethis year, are similar:

• The weekend begins onFriday evening with the MKDelta Criterium in NorthDelta. Replacing the race-against-the-clock prologue,the North Delta crit willlook a lot like the popularBrenco Criterium contestedeach year in Ladner Village.

Organizers are focusingon making the new Fridaycriterium as good as theone in Ladner, says Tour deDelta race director MarkErnsting.

“Hopefully over the nextfew years it will grow tothat level. We’re really look-ing forward to having thou-sands of people come out— like the Ladner course,”he says.

Riders will travel in apack over the 1.3-kilometrecircuit, reaching speeds upto 70 km/h on a downhillsection.

They will complete 30 to40 laps of the course thatstarts and finishes on 84thAvenue.

• Saturday evening’s

Brenco Criterium sees rid-ers complete 60 laps of analmost one-kilometre routeon the streets of LadnerVillage.

It takes roughlyone minute for rac-ers to make theirway around thecourse, so there’salmost constantaction for specta-tors. Riders canreach speeds of upto 60 km/h duringthe criterium, mak-ing the colourfulpeleton a blur as itgoes by.

TUESDAY EVENING RUNNING CLINICSHAVE JUST BEGUN

Will Routley’s experi-ence growing up mountainbiking in Whistler came inhandy during his first tasteof professional road racingin Europe this season.

It seems all those lengthyclimbs made it easier toascend – and descend– a steep learning curveagainst the best cyclistsin the world as part ofSpiderTech, a team foundedby Canadian cycling legendSteve Bauer with the goalof one day competing atGrand Tour level, includ-ing the prestigious Tour deFrance.

For Routley, who cut histeeth as a road racer at B.C.Superweek and won theCanadian National RoadRacing championship lastseason, it was a chance tofinally experience worldclass racing on the otherside of the Atlantic.

“I’ve been over atmountain bike WorldChampionships as a juniorand a couple national teamevents as an under-23, butnever any real pro events sothis was the first taste of thepro European peleton andit has been a steep learn-ing curve to say the least,”

said Routley, who is backtraining in Whistler forthe summer, and planningto compete in parts of theupcoming B.C. Superweekseries.

“The biggest differenceis racing here in NorthAmerica, fitness and racetactics are 90 per cent ofit, but over in Europe youhave to have skills becauseit is just that much moreaggressive and technical,and you have to have expe-rience because the coursesand the competition are justthat much tougher and moredifficult.

Maybe all that time rac-ing down Whistler moun-tains paid off, or maybeRoutley is just a really fastlearner, because he was theonly Team SpiderTech riderto reach the podium dur-ing their inaugural spring

schedule in Europe, finish-ing second at the 206-kilo-metre Tro Bro Leon race inFrance in mid-April.

“It’s a challenge but I gota little taste of success,”said Routley, now 28 butjust seven years into roadracing. “It’s like golf — youplay a whole round andonly have that one perfectshot but you get a taste of itand you want more.”

Routley will get thatchance with SpiderTech,which is powered by C10,a group of 10 Canadiancompanies backing Bauer’sattempts to build a domesticsquad capable of competingwith, and ultimately beat-ing, the world’s best cyclistson the world’s biggest stage.

He is scheduled tocompete at a pair of bigProTour races in Quebec inSeptember before returningto Europe next spring, andalso has his sights on a spotwith Team Canada at the2012 Summer Olympics inLondon.

A second place finish aspart of a SpiderTech sweepat the Canadian Road RaceNational Championshipslast week certainly can’thurt Routley’s cause.

Superweek is the place to be

An expanded B.C.Superweek has alreadyattracted entries fromsome of the top teams inNorth America and most ofCanada’s best riders.

Names like Whistlernative Will Routley, the2010 Canadian Road Racechampion and 2011 runnerup, and Christian Meier,currently riding profession-ally in Europe, have alreadyconfirmed, with more riderand team announcementsexpected to follow.

Having the first UBCGrand Prix on Tuesday,July 12, and the return ofthe Giro di Burnaby onThursday, July 14, is a per-fect way to bridge the gapbetween the two anchorraces at B.C. Superweek:the three-race Tour de Deltafrom July 8 to 10 and theTour de White Rock, withanother three races July 15to 17.

“B.C. Superweek isalready the premier cyclingevent for best riders fromWestern Canada, and theaddition of two more topquality races midweek willencourage more of their

teammates from the topNorth American pro squadsto come with them andstay,” said Mark Ernsting,the race director for Tour deDelta and B.C. Superweek.

“It’s going to be one ofthe best fields we’ve everhad at B.C. Superweek,”Ernsting said.

This year’s riders willjoin an impressive list ofSuperweek alumni thatalready includes top inter-national names like the leg-endary Lance Armstrong,American veteran ChrisHorner and Tyler Farrar,who will again be front andcentre in this year’s Tour deFrance.

The Canadian cyclingcontingent is just as strong,with Olympians likeSvein Tuft, who rode B.C.Superweek last summer,and Brian Walton, who willbe back this summer as anannouncer at the Tour deDelta he helped to start, aswell as Alison Sydor, GinaGrain and Erin Willock.

It has provided a startingpoint for countless localriders now competing onthe world stage. Riders

like Tuft, who first testedhimself against Walton atthe Tour de White Rock,and is now considereda contender for the roadrace at the 2012 Olympics.Other local riders have usedstrong performances at B.C.Superweek to get invitesfrom, and eventually jobswith, professional teams.

“It’s such an importantevent for the growth ofcycling in B.C. and thePacific Northwest,” saidErnsting. “It would be likean NHL player showingup at the local skate — hispresence shows everyoneelse what they need to do totake their game to the nextlevel, and drives them to getbetter long after he’s left.”

Impressive alumni list to grow thisyear as races attract top notch field

Christian Meier has a dayjob — and a uniform —most cyclists would envy.

Meier races profession-ally all over the world, butis based in Girona, Spain,and now spends most of hisyear in Europe, riding hisbike against the best in hissport.

He does so now as partof United Health Care ProCycling’s expansion into theEuropean peleton as a ProContinental squad, but rodethe previous two seasonsfor Garmin-Transitions.

When Meier returns toB.C. Superweek to race inthe Tour de Delta, however,he will be wearing a dif-ferent kit, one that meansmore personally than anyteam colours.

Instead of the blue-and-white of his United HealthCare squad, when B.C.Superweek kicks off FridayMeier will wear a simpleblack and white jersey withthe words “F--- Cancer”blaring boldly across hischest.

Like the “last chance”tattoo inside his left fore-arm, the jersey is a tributeto the brother he lost tobrain cancer in 2009. It’s

also a commitment to raiseawareness about prevention,particularly among youngpeople.

“There just doesn’t seemto be a huge push to cancerawareness and prevention,especially with the youngerdemographic, which is whatF Cancer is trying to do,”Meier said of his attempts

to raise funds and attention.“Even just the name grabsthe attention of youngerpeople – and everyone elsefor that matter.”

Meier started the ini-tiative last year at B.C.Superweek and returnsthis year with another newplan to raise awareness.It’s called “I am riding for

_______” and involves asticker on his bike with thename of someone affectedby cancer.

In addition, Meier sharestheir story on his personalblog (http://bikingbros.com/), using them for inspi-ration when he races.

“We need to get the wordout that over 90 per cent

of cancers are curable ifcaught in stage one,” Meierwrites on the blog. “I willbe keep you updated asthings progress and staytuned to the “I AM RIDINGFOR” section to read thestory of person who isinspiring me to pedal thatmuch faster.”

Meier said it has been

mostly people he knows,but he is looking to open itup as he comes “home” forB.C. Superweek.

“It is usually peopleI know who have beenaffected but if people havea story they want to tell orexperience they want toshare, I’d ride for anyonewhose had to deal withcancer,” he said. “It’s a hugebattle for all of us and Iknow there a lot of greatpeople out there I couldride for, and get inspirationfrom.”

Meier rode with hisbrother Michael’s nameplastered on his bike at lastweek’s Canadian NationalChampionships, and hisolder sibling is never farfrom his thoughts. Michaelwoke up one day with ahorrible headache and hadsurgery two days later toremove a brain tumor, butthe cancer returned sud-denly that summer, and hepassed away while Christianwas riding the Vuelta aEspana, forcing him toabandon his first GrandTour with four stages left.

Meier is working to getback there with UnitedHealth Care.

Guru Dynamic Fit Unit

After two years of testing and engineering, GURU Cycles Inc. Has finalizedthe development of the first computerized robotic assisted bicycle fittingsystem. With our patented drivetrain, motors, actuators and proprietarysoftware; Guru has revolutionized the fit process by drastically increasingefficiency and by creating an interactive experience for the client.

The DFU™, manipulates the rider's position while he or she is pedaling.The software, based on the client's body morphology, suggests a startingposition for the fitter in using XY coordinates. The Guru trained fitter thenadjusts the fit down to the millimetre in order to achieve a perfect fit,which is optimized for power, cadence, position and most of all, comfortAt no point does the instructor or fitter ever have to ask the rider todisembark from the unit to change positions of handlebars, pedals orseat position. The actuators take care of all of these actions automatically.The bicycle industry’s most advanced fitting tools are in your own backyard !A bicycle fit is for everyone and starts at only $100 for a basic fit.

Last year, Eric Wohlbergreturned to the B.C.Superweek races he used todominate as a team direc-tor with the BISSELL ProCycling squad.

He’s back this year torace at age 46, but don’tlet the birth certificate foolyou.

The three-time CanadianOlympian always has to betaken seriously.

“I’ll definitely be theold fart out there, but theyknow I’m not done yet,”Wohlberg, an Ontarionative, said over the phonefrom his new home base inPalo Alto, California. “I’vestill got a fair bit of fight inme and they know that.”

Most Canadian cyclistsknow all about Wohlberg.In addition to his threestraight Olympic experi-ences, he won gold medalsin the time trial at the 1998Commonwealth Gamesand 1999 Pan Am Games,a bronze in the road race atthe Commonwealth Games,and was on seven Canadianentries at the WorldChampionships.

He has posted 76 stageand overall victories atmajor U.S. races and eight

straight Canadian TimeTrial Championships, astreak Svein Tuft, a for-mer teammate on the nowdefunct Symmetrics ProCycling team, is closing inon with a seventh win lastweek.

Wohlberg also played abig role at B.C. Superweek,in large part by dominat-ing the Tour de Delta as amember of the prestigious

American based SaturnCycling Team back in2003, when he also earnedhis second Canadian MaleCyclist of the Year award.

His supremacy inspiredthe creation of Symmetricsto help local riders get orga-nized to compete with thebig American teams comingnorth to B.C. Superweek,and before long the localswere on the podium.

Riders like Tuft, RyanAnderson and Will Routley(all SpiderTech), ChristianMeier and Andrew Pinfold(United Health Care) allconverted success at B.C.Superweek into jobs racingprofessionally — first inNorth America, and now inEurope. Others like MarshCooper (Kelly Benefits),Nic Spaling (Jelly Belly)and Rob Britton (BISSELL)

followed in their path to topAmerican-based teams.

Wohlberg continued tosupport the race as a direc-tor at BISSELL, sendingriders north every year andusing B.C. Superweek toidentify emerging talent.

“I remember one yearZach Bell smoked everyonein the Delta hill climb, andI was like. ‘Who the hell isthis guy?’ We all know him

now,” Wohlberg said of theCanadian Olympian, whoalso won the Tour de Deltaroad race just last year.“Any rider who does wellin a B.C. Superweek fieldwarrants a serious look.”

Wohlberg, who neverreally stopped riding or rac-ing even while still doingsome consulting work withKelly Benefits, will getan up-close look when hecomes back with anotheryoung rider from FormFitness, a small NorthernCalifornia-based team madeup mostly of Masters riders.

“I’m not 100 per centracing. I haven’t trainedquite as hard as I’d like to,but I’m still going to give ita go and try to be factor insome of the races up there,”he said.

“I’m looking forwardto Tour de Delta and theUBC and Burnaby crits.I’m not 100 per cent confi-dent about that road race inWhite Rock — that thingis so hard — but I’ve gotgood hopes coming up toB.C. Superweek so younever know.”

Given his history here,that alone should be enoughto make the field nervous.

Wohlberg is ready to roll at 46Three-time Canadian Olympian is back in the saddle for B.C. Superweek

Storied history for Delta’s raceThe Tour de Delta, which

celebrates its 11th editionthis weekend, has had anexciting first decade. Here’sa recap of the first 10 edi-tions:

Tour de Delta 2001Victoria teen sensation

Clare Hall-Patch and NewZealander Graeme Millerwere the stars of the showat the inaugural Tour deDelta. Hall-Patch, 18,proved to be the star of thewomen’s events, winningthe road race and hill climband finishing fifth in thecriterium.

The 40-year-old Millerwas equally impressive inthe men’s events, winningthe road race and criterium,while finishing third in thehill climb.

Tour de Delta 2002In a weekend dominated

by an American-basedpro team, it was a French-Canadian who delivered themost spectacular perfor-mance. Just how dominat-ing was Manon Jutras in thewomen’s road race? Enoughto have concluded a post-race interview before therunner-up had even reachedthe finish line.

Eric Wohlberg, who

was the bridesmaid of theinaugural Tour de Delta,brought along his SaturnCycling teammates to makesure it didn’t happen again.Wohlberg, who was edgedby Miller in the 2001 cri-terium, led a Saturn sweepof the top five positions in2002. Saturn’s dominancecontinued in the road racewith Wohlberg finishingthird behind teammatesMark McCormack and IvanDominquez.

Tour de Delta 2003Team Saturn brought a

new look to the third annualTour de Delta, but producedthe same impressive results.With only one rider backfrom its dominating per-formance in 2002, the U.S.juggernaut enjoyed anotherbanner weekend, winningthe men’s and women’soverall titles and two of thefour main races.

Making his first appear-ance in B.C., Saturn’s WillFrischkorn outsprintedSnow Valley’s Ian Ville tocapture the road race andsew up the men’s overalltitle.

The men’s criterium pro-duced a thrilling finish withItaly’s Siro Camponogara

edging defending championWohlberg.

Even before Sunday’sroad race, Saturn’s InaTeutenberg had the women’soverall title secured thanksto her narrow win in thecriterium and a fifth placefinish in the hill climb.

Tour de Delta 2004Pennsylvanian Sarah

Uhl, billed as a 20-year-old superstar in waiting,exhibited some of thatpromise by capturing twoof the three women’s racesen route to the overall title.Uhl won the criterium,then turned around the nextmorning and captured theroad race, edging veteranSara Neil of Vancouver.

The 43-year-old Neil,who retired at the conclu-sion of Superweek, had agreat Tour de Delta, alsowinning the hill climb.

The men’s side of thingswas much more wide open,with different winners ineach race, although ZachBell took the hill climb forthe second straight year.

Olympian Gord Fraserexploded out of the packon the final lap to claim thecriterium, while Tyler Farrarbeat Tsawwassen’s CamEvans and Wohlberg by thenarrowest of margins in theroad race.

Tour de Delta 2005Uhl was one the verge of

making history in 2005, butthe 21-year-old was deniedby a two-time CanadianOlympian.

Uhl, who won the hillclimb and criterium, waslooking to become the firstrider to sweep all threeraces, but fell just short asshe finished second to LynBessette in the road race.

The men’s division sawthree familiar names on thetop step of the podium.

Kirk O’Bee was crownedoverall champion on thestrength of a criterium winand a second place finish inthe road race.

Farrar followed up hishill climb win with a veryclose third in the road race.The defending road racechamp was hoping to repeatthe feat, but finished justbehind Fraser and O’Beeafter a frantic sprint to theline along 56th Street.

First decade of competition featured Olympians and national champions

In the Community

Writer and children’s sto-ryteller Laura Thomas hasonce again teamed up withthe Corporation of Delta tooffer a province-wide sum-mer writing contest for bud-ding authors.

The contest is free toenter and open to any B.C.resident between the agesof 10 and 17. There is alsoa special incentive categoryfor children six to nineyears old.

Last year, 50 youngscribes from Prince George,Invermere, Vernon, theLower Mainland andVancouver Island submit-ted short stories. Thomas,who has been donating hertime and talents to this free-to-enter contest since shecame up with the idea fouryears ago, hopes even moreaspiring writers will send instories this year.

When asked whatinspired her to create thecontest, Thomas said, “Itwas the new talent showson TV. I don’t think we areever going to see a showcalled Canada’s Next GreatWriting Star, so starting a

contest that encourages kidsto try and get publishedseemed like the next bestthing. I know from experi-ence that it’s always morefun to write when you havea specific goal and knowthat someone will be read-ing your work.”

Contestants are asked tosend in three copies of anoriginal short story of up to1,000 words on any subject.

“I like to give youngwriters the freedom towrite about what they careabout,” said Thomas.

Thanks to donations byDelta businesses, the con-test is free to enter and thetop six in each category willreceive prizes. As in previ-ous years, the winning sto-ries will be published in theDelta Optimist. Childrenwho enter the incentive cat-egory will receive copies ofThomas’ stories on CD.

Thomas said thejudges — herself, formerMacMillan editor JoanneAshdown and children’sauthor Darlene Foster— are looking for short sto-ries that focus on a life-like

character that has a spe-cific problem that is eitherresolved or not during thestory. She also said the win-ning stories tend to be shorton plot and long on vivid,sensory details.

The contest is opennow and closes Aug. 31.Entries can be mailed toJA Short Story Contest,c/o South Delta RecreationCentre, 1720-56 St., Delta,B.C., V4L 2B1. Winnerswill be announced in lateSeptember.

The Delta Islanders are in thedriver’s seat for a third place finishin the B.C. Junior “A” LacrosseLeague but a huge obstacle awaitsthem in their final regular seasonhome game on Saturday night.

The Islanders’ 16-9 roadwin over the Langley Thunderon Sunday, coupled with theVictoria Shamrocks’ 14-3 lossto Coquitlam Adanacs, leavesthe teams tied with 11-8 records,heading into the final week of

league play. Each club has threegames remaining with Delta hold-ing the tiebreaker edge thanks towinning the season series, 2-1.

The Islanders travel to Langleyagain on Thursday and closeout their schedule on Sundaywith another road game againstthe 7-11 Nanaimo Timbermen.In between is the daunting taskof trying to hand the defendingMinto Cup champions their firstloss of the season. The Adanacsimproved to 19-0 with their winover Victoria and will be look-ing to cap a perfect regular sea-

son when they visit Ladner at7:30 p.m.

The Islanders not only lost thetwo previous meetings — 17-10and 17-10 — they will be seek-ing their first win of the seasonagainst one of the league’s top twoteams.

The Shamrocks have a morefavourable schedule with gamesagainst Nanaimo, Port Coquitlam(2-17) and Burnaby (5-13). Thethird place finisher not only adraws a more favourable openinground match-up but would alsoavoid the Adanacs in the semi-

finals.Delta improved to 9-1 against

sub .500 teams with its easy winover the Thunder.

Second-year standout LoganSchuss continued his torrid pacesince rejoining the club from OhioState University — producing12 points, including eight goals.He now has 45 points in just sixgames. Mike Mallory also had bigouting with three goals and sevenassists as the Islanders took con-trol by outscoring Langley 9-4 inthe second period.

Michael Berekoff added five

goals and four assists, whilecaptain Ryan Keith also paddedhis stats with two goals and sixassists. Brandon McLean andTrenton Matsuzaki had the others.

The most encouraging news ofthe night was goaltender BlakeDuncan returning to the creaseafter missing the past two weekswith a concussion he picked upwhen a shot caught him under hismask during a pre-game warm-up. The third-year stopper made36 stops and he will have to be athis best against the Adanacs onSaturday.

Junior Islanders face huge hurdle in race to finish thirdBY MARK BOOTH

Five months ago, they were a teamnobody wanted to coach and few wantedto play for. Now, the Ladner Pioneers arepoised to win the Western Senior LacrosseAssociation regular season championship.

The Pioneers are just two wins awayfrom pulling off the feat after beginningthe 2011 campaign with far more questionmarks than answers.

Ladner stumbled out of the gate withtwo straight losses but have reeled of nineconsecutive wins to take over top spot inthe league, including a critical three-gamestretch that concluded with a 10-8 victorylast Thursday over the Royal City Capitals.The news got even better when an earlierdefeat to the Tri-City Bandits was reversedfor its rival using an ineligible player. ThePioneers now just need wins at Nanaimoon Saturday and a week Thursday againstNorth Shore to hold off the Valley Rebelsfor first place.

“Nobody saw this coming from a buncha misfits,” laughed head coach Bob Taylor.“These guys have come together as a teamand since day one we have tried to keepeverything positive.”

Taylor took on the coaching duties justweeks before training camp as a favor toteam governor and longtime friend JohnBurr. He soon discovered he had a majorrebuilding job on his hands with the major-

ity of players not wanting to return or evendemanding a trade.

What had the ingredients of being a longseason for league’s most dominant fran-chise, instead went the other direction withsome promising young players signed tocompliment the remaining veterans. Taylorwas happy enough with the chemistry to dolittle in the way prior to last week’s leagueroster freeze. Only former Pioneer BrandonMcKinnon was brought back after he wasreleased by the WLA’s Burnaby Lakers.

“The only way this was going to workwas if the veterans bought into the idea thatthere were going to be rookies coming inand being a big part of the team and that’sexactly what has happened,” said Taylor.

“The really encouraging thing is over halfthis line-up is first-year players. This is agood team now and is only going to be bet-ter next year.”

After huge wins over Tri-City and theValley Rebels, the Pioneers completed thetrifecta by getting past Royal City, avenginga season-opening 18-8 loss.

Cam Taylor broke an 8-8 tie with a pairof third period goals. Travis St. Germainand Mike King also scored twice. David Yeeand Nathan Clare rounded out the scoring.

Quinn Waddington had four assists, whileJustin Dowd made 28 saves.

“Right now everyone is feeling reallygood,” added Taylor. “It’s not about one ortwo players or even my coaching. It’s aboutall of us wanting the same thing.”

“The boys are a real treat to workwith,” he said. “All along, I haveemphasized that winning is a result ofplaying well, and that playing well isour priority. So far, we seem to play
