HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.
Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income under $40,000.

Ready to runFomer Delta councillor Krista Engelland announces bid for mayor's seat
A familiar face on the local political scene, Krista Engelland, is preparing to make a second run for mayor in the November civic election. Engelland was elected to Delta Council a total of five times, from 1993 to 2008.Contributed photo
CHRISTINE LYONR E P O R T E R
F ive-time Delta councillor Krista Engelland has announced she will once again run for mayor in the
November civic election."I'm running because I firmly believe
we need a new direction at city hall. I care deeply about Delta, its people, its history and its land use," Engelland said. "As mayor I intend to ensure Delta residents have a real say in their community."
She will run with One Delta, a new elec-toral organization which she said will soon release details about its vision and plat-form.
Engelland tried to unseat longtime incumbent Mayor Lois Jackson in the 2008 civic election, but lost by just under 3,000 votes.
"People are encouraging me to run because they feel their concerns are not being heard by this mayor and this council. They are frustrated by a lack of transparent processes and accountability," Engelland said, noting as an example council's deci-sion to terminate the public hearing on whether the Southlands should be put forth to the Agricultural Land Commission.
"The whole process was abandoned
and cancelled. It's not a public process, it's become a process driven by the mayor and council," she said.
"We have a lot of issues affecting Delta and we need somebody to get out there and be an advocate on Delta's behalf and I don't see that happening."
She said the biggest issues affecting Deltans are construction of South Fraser Perimeter Road, development of Tsaw-wassen First Nation land, Roberts Bank container port expansion and loss of agri-cultural land.
Delta council needs to take a step in a "positive direction," Engelland said.
"We need to streamline our processes, we need to reduce what time it's taking for people to have their permits processed and
just cut the red tape."She said she believes in cutting taxes and
controlling local government spending. Her 15 years serving on Delta council has
prepared her for the top job, she said."I know what it takes to run a municipal-
ity. Delta needs a full-time mayor who will take a lead for Delta residents and work to achieve what is best for their interests first," she said.
"I've been off council for three years and it has given me an opportunity to look at the municipality from the other side of the table."
Engelland is a life-long resident of Delta who has lived in Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. She works at her family busi-ness on River Road.
Meanwhile, it has been widely speculat-ed that current Delta councillor Heather King will throw her hat in the ring for the mayor's seat, but King said she's not ready to confirm those rumours just yet.
"I'm just kind of gauging how things are going," she said. "It's one of those things that I'm making some decisions about, but I should probably announce in the next little while."
The next local election in B.C. will be Sat-urday, Nov. [email protected]

T he Registered Dis-ability Savings Plan (RDSP) has
been designed to help Canadians with disabili-ties and their families create greater financial security and achieve some peace of mind for the future.
In order to be eligible for this plan the disabled individual must be eli-gible for the Disability Tax Credit, have a Social Insur-ance number and be filing income tax returns.
A Registered Disability Sav-ings Plan pro-vides for tax deferred investing just like an RRSP. This tax deferred plan along with the available government grants and bonds makes the RDSP a powerful investment savings tool, similar in many respects to an RESP because of the government contri-butions.
RDSP beneficiaries are eligible for Canada Dis-ability Savings Grants and Canada Disabil-ity Savings Bonds. An annual contribution of $1,500 to the RDSP can attract an annual grant of $3,500. The grant can provide a maximum of $70,000 to the benefi-ciary up to age 50.
The Canada Disability Savings Bond is available to lower income families. The federal government will pay up to $1,000 per year into the RDSP.
The beneficiary can receive a $1,000 bond every year for 20 years
even if the RDSP owner makes no personal con-tribution. The lifetime maximum is $20,000 and the bond is payable until the end of the year the beneficiary turns 49.
Let’s look at an exam-ple. Alice is a 25-year-old low-income disabled person who contributes $1,500 per year to her
RDSP.In return
for this con-tribution the federal government p a y s h e r a grant of $3,500 and a bond of $1,000 per year.
A t a conserva-
tive five per cent rate of return over a 20 year period, the account could grow to $215,000 with an investment of only $30,000 from Alice.
This plan can be com-plicated and should be opened in conjunc-tion with some overall financial planning. Be sure to seek the advice of a financial advisor who is experienced with RDSPs.

Culinary challengeCHRISTINE LYONR E P O R T E R
L ocal chef Tobias MacDonald is well on his way to being named the world’s best.
This weekend, Chef de Cuisine at Ladner’s La Belle Auberge restaurant is representing Canada in an interna-tional culinary competition.
Part of the EAT! Vancouver Food and Cooking Festival at the Vancouver Convention Centre, the World Associ-ation of Chefs’ Society (WACS) Global Chefs Challenge takes place Saturday, June 11.
“It’s Iron Chef galore,” explained La Belle Auberge owner and chef Bruno Marti.
MacDonald has already won the Canadian leg of the contest, which landed him a spot in the semi-final continental round. On Saturday (June 11), he will compete against top chefs
from the U.S., Ecuador, Venezuela and Chile. Though, Marti has a hunch it will come down to MacDonald and the American.
During the timed challenge, each contestant must whip up eight, three-course dinners from scratch in just under five hours. MacDonald will be assisted by La Belle Auberge’s junior chef Jasper Cruickshank.
Each of the three courses must use a mandatory ingredient. The first is Kobe beef.
“Everybody gets one piece of meat and the recipe is up to them,” said Marti.
During a recent trial run, MacDon-ald prepared the beef three ways: roasted, sous-vide and steak tartar with garnishes. The second dish must use sterling white halibut and the des-sert is to be strawberry-based.
The winner of the semi-final will go on to compete at the world final in Daejeon, South Korea in May 2012.

Bound for AthensLocals heading to Special Olympics Mall hosts Art & Fashion EventCHRISTINE LYONREPORTER
Delta Police Sgt. Deb-bie McLeod has been running in support of the Special Olympics for 11 years and this year is no different—except she’ll be pounding the pavement in Greece.
Chosen to represent B.C., McLeod will join 100 other law enforce-ment of f icers f rom around the globe on a torch run through Greece that culminates at the opening ceremo-
ny of the 2011 Special Olympics World Sum-mer Games in Athens.
Minus a few ferry rides and special events, she expects to run daily from June 10 until June 25—the first day of the games.
Athens is hosting 7,000 athletes with intel-lectual disabilities from 180 countries June 25 to July 4. One of those ath-letes is 28-year-old long-distance runner Stacey Kohler, a White Rock res-ident and member of the Delta branch of Special
Olympics B.C. She’ll be competing in the 3,000 and 1,500 metres and four-by-400 metre relay.
Mom Beryl says she got into running at an early age and has been involved with the Special Olympics for 13 years.
“She used to run sprints quite a few years ago and then one of the coaches suggested that she start doing dis-tance,” Beryl said. “My gosh, she excels in it. She can just run forever, she’s like a little Ener-gizer bunny.”
Fashion on showRotary Square at the
Tsawwassen Town Cen-tre Mall will be set up with easels and a cat walk Saturday ( June 11).
That's when the Art & Fashion Event takes over the gathering place from 1-4 p.m.
Thanks to the input from mall merchants and promotions staff, Rotary Square will come alive with the latest fash-ion looks and work from local artists.
Shannon Taylor, pro-motions manager with
the mall said there will be something for every-one at the event—from a craft fair to a bouncy castle.
Plus, Laurel Middelaer will speak about Alexa's Bus (alexasbus.com), the impaired driving testing unit the Ladner mother is raising funds to estab-lish after losing her young daughter, Alexa, to an impaired driver.
Donations can be made to Alexa's Bus dur-ing the event.
Mall merchants will also be offering specials and discounts that day.

Ladner's Al Hollinger with one of his prized motorcycles in his collection.Philip Raphael photo
Easy riderA l Hollinger remembers well his
first big adventure. It included a motorbike, his older brother
and a ride from his native Montreal to Los Angeles.
It was the early 1950s and Hollinger was itching to leave Montreal. He was 15 and craved new surroundings and a long strip of asphalt to cruise.
He got plenty of both on the week-long excursion
that ended up in California where went to work dig-ging septic tanks and ridding hom-eowners of rattle snakes.
“One guy who hired me gave me 50 cents for every
rattle snake I shot,” says Holinger, now 78. “I had a better idea. I told him that I’d bring him the (snake) heads and I sold the rest of the snake, which was a delicacy, to a company that canned the meat.”
It’s colourful stories like that which flow out of Hollinger who last month was front and centre at the opening of the Forest for our Future park on the grounds of Delta Hospital.
Hollinger donated the cost of the park ($300,000) from a portion of his estate which includes military memo-rabilia and a collection of motorbikes. It was his dedication to a close friend, Joan Rumsey, a resident at the adjacent Mountain View Manor extended care home, that motivated him to make the donation. Hollinger visited Rum-sey often—sometimes twice a day at meal times—until she passed away last August. Together, the two used to take long walks around the hospital grounds and it’s in her memory Hollinger made the donation.
Hollinger preferred not to speak at the park’s opening and played his harmoni-ca for the assembled crowd. It’s another
talent in his long and colourful back-ground that includes a stint as a motor-bike rider with a traveling carnival.
Hollinger met up with the carnival after he left California and made his way to see mutual friends in Richmond where the traveling show had stopped off.
Being an accomplished rider he was hired as a replacement in a show where he raced the banked walls of a barrel-like arena.
“There were three coloured stripes on the walls—green, red and white. I just had to follow the lines,” Hollinger says. “White meant you were coming down off the wall.
“I also jumped the bike through flam-ing hoops,” he adds with a casual shrug. “That was pretty easy.”
The job with the carnival, which also included maintaining some of the rides, took him across the country as far as Manitoba.
But an accident involving the partial collapse of a roller coaster track put him in hospital.
While he was recovering the carnival moved on.
“They left and took pretty much everything I owned except the shirt on my back,” he says.
Later, he went back to Montreal, became a police officer and was part of the organization’s first bomb disposal team.
“It was during the first FLQ crisis in the 1960s,” he says, “when mailboxes were being blown up.”
When he made his way out west again, he became a guard at the B.C. Penitentiary and was involved with a hostage taking incident in 1975.
Through all of those twists and turns Hollinger continued collecting motor-bikes and military artifacts. And his expertise with explosives led to the task of firing the starting cannon at the Van-couver Dragon Boat races.
Today, he still rides motorbikes and has time to think about his next proj-ect.

A s the Vancouver Canucks mark their 40th season, another group of local hockey players is also celebrating
four decades of history.It was 1970 when Bill Husband and his
school friends transformed a bucolic West-ham Island barn into a floor hockey haven.
Close to 100 years old, the faded yellow wooden structure still sits on 160 acres of working farmland.
Bill, 52, was 12 years old when he and his elementary school pals first recognized the recreational potential of the barn’s sprawl-ing upper level. The children cleared stacks of hay bales, screwed in a couple of dim light bulbs, and started playing hockey on the slat-ted wooden floor.
The landowner, Stan Reynolds, welcomed the kids.
“He gave us two skids of plywood and said ‘Go for it, you guys put it in, it’s your barn.’ So,
it’s been that way ever since,” Bill said.Back then, the boys used cutout bleach
bottles for goalie masks and rolls of black electrical tape as pucks.
Over the years they accumulated real gear, one piece at a time, and now, into their 50s, many of the men have children of their own who frequent the legendary “Hockey Barn.”
Like father like sonBeams of yellow sunlight stream through
the second-floor windows of the musty cen-tury-old building on a recent Friday after-noon. As Bill pulls on his goalie pads, his seven-year-old son Kylan is already suited up in his own goaltending gear, blocking shots from a handful of elementary aged boys who tear back and forth across the homemade arena. Their orange hockey ball thuds repeat-edly against the walls.
Bill introduced Kylan to the Hockey Barn a couple of years ago and Kylan, enthusias-tic about the space, decided to hold his last birthday party there.
After about half an hour of play time, the
young kids clear out to make way for the adults and big kids.
Bill’s eldest son Scott, 26, has been playing hockey at the barn since he was an adolescent.
He and his cousin used to put Canucks theme music on the stereo and run laps around the wooden arena in front of imagi-nary spectators.
“We’d just come do the warm up, we wouldn’t even really play a game,” Scott said.
Now that he’s grown, Scott enjoys the friendly competition with his father.
“He doesn’t like playing against me because I always score on him,” Scott laughs.
Never a punch thrownWhen it’s time to change up, players stum-
ble out of the arena and collapse, panting, onto worn couches.
Born and raised on Westham Island, Kevin Bowling, 54, is one of Bill’s original childhood friends who helped lay the plywood floor.
He says the Hockey Barn was “the place to be” for local kids.
“Putting in the time at school or doing what
you had to do around the house was only an inconvenience to get back to the barn,” Kevin said.
Local parents always knew where to find their kids, and were happy the children had a safe place to entertain themselves.
“In all the years we’ve played up here there’s never been a punch thrown,” Kevin said. “That’s just poor form, you wouldn’t get invited back.”
Kevin is now the father of three kids who

know the Hockey Barn well. “It is pretty cool to be able to play a game of good huff-
and-puff ball hockey with your own kid,” he said.His 21-year-old son Todd grew up on farmland
and appreciates the rustic sports venue.“It’s not that often you get to play in an old barn
like this,” Todd said.He remembers the first time he joined the recre-
ational floor hockey league. He was 13, still small in stature, and until then had only watched his father play from the sidelines. One day, the group was a man short.
“They just gave me a stick and said ‘You’re playing today,’” Todd recalls.
He’s been playing with the adults ever since, and takes pleasure in going head-to-head against his dad.
“It’s fun to have the family feud,” he said.
Not just for kidsBack in the 70s, kids and adults didn’t share the
barn like they do now. Bill remembers the day his “old crotchety
uncle” climbed the barn’s steep staircase in his big rubber boots. To the kids’ dismay, he grabbed a
goalie glove and stick and planted himself in net.“Come on, come on, shoot it!” he shouted at
the young players.The biggest kid drew back his stick, took a slap
shot and hit Bill’s uncle smack in the forehead.“We were using tennis balls back then thank good-
ness,” Bill said.Still, the incident was enough to deter his uncle
from ever paying again. Today, the Hockey Barn is a place for kids and
adults to exercise, catch up with friends and family, and enjoy a cold drink.
There have been modest changes over the decades: brighter lighting, aluminum nets, box seat-ing and plenty of hockey posters and handwritten notes nailed to the walls and support beams. But overall, things are much the same as they were 40 years ago.
Bill glances over at Kylan and the other young-sters shouting and laughing as they chase down the bright orange ball.
“These guys get just as much fun out of it as we did,” he said [email protected]

Take 538 acres; siphon off 38 acres for roads and infrastructure; create 50 ten-acre hobby farms.
At $1.5 million each just for the dirt, that's a cool $75 million for Century Group.
Once the houses are built the
farms would attract probably $10,000 each in local taxes, or $500,000 which would more than pay the salaries of the mayor, council, the CAO as well as the school board. And only some 100 more cars on Tsawwassen's roads and probably only half as many kids in our schools and at the Winskill athletic campus.
Clearly this proposal is too
radical—oops, I meant rational—to magnetize much in the way of support from the locals.
Most—both the pro-Century rooters and NIMBYs—seem obsessed with what appears to be an "all or nothing at all" mindset.

It’s not all doom and gloom for Delta, even if statistics in the Leader’s recent cover story (Growing 3 communities, June 3, 2011) show the community is aging and the population growth is not keeping pace with the rest of Metro Vancouver.
Yes, there’s been a few store closings of late in Tsawwassen, and there have been school closures in the past.
But when you look at what’s on the horizon in the coming five to 10 years, there’s reason for optimism, especially if you live in South Delta.
Development is happening here, maybe not on the scale of other parts of the Lower Mainland. But it’s impressive compared to the snail’s pace over the past five years when, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation just 1,300 units were constructed in all of Delta.
The so-called “boom years” had about 1,000 new homes each year in the early 1990s.
For now, though, there is a “mini boom” coming locally.
The Tsawwassen Springs development on the site of the Tsawwassen Golf Course will have close to 500 homes—a mixture of condos and single family residences—when completed.
And literally just across the highway, the Tsawwassen First Nation has plans to build close to 1,900 homes spread out over single family homes, townhomes and apartments.
Plus, there are plans to build a 1.8-million-square-foot mall on the adjacent TFN property that is expected to draw shoppers from far and wide to South Delta.
Then there’s the potential of the Southlands property to house plenty more people, if revised plans for the land get the go ahead. Originally, the Southlands proposal called for around 1,900 homes. After a divisive series of public hearings earlier this year and a mayor’s summit on the issue of developing a portion of farmland on the property, a scaled back proposal is expected to be submitted by July 1 to Delta Council.
But even if this is rejected, the future in the southern part of Delta is looking up.
The somewhat modest increase in new local housing—which according to one demographer is at the root of little growth here—is a reason to be optimistic.
Hopefully that spurs more commercial investment and fills in some of the gaps left in the retail landscape.

Delta decline?EDITORIAL
Let's put the seniors in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.
They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could
be helped instantly if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJs and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard,
with gardens. Each senior could have a PC, a TV radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8 p.m., and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay $900 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.
Justice for all we say.Ron Wasik,

Jail time better for seniors?

Hobby farming, a modest proposal
It is sad that this commentary (Pulling apart the HST, South Delta Leader May 27, 2011) did not include the remarks of David Douglas Robertson who is the speaker for Smart Tax Alliance, when he said quote “Tax me when I spend money not when I earn it” at the Prince George HST forum yesterday.
What this article and many others miss is the obvious to most
citizens, namely HST is not about combining taxes.
HST is exactly about what economists like David Douglas Robertson continually let slip off their tongue.
HST is a shift from “Business Income Tax” to a “Consumer Tax” and if you have any brains at all you know that means eventually once the shift is completed from income tax to consumer tax that a person earning $100,000 a year will earn it tax free, and as long as he does not
spend his/her money in Canada may get away with paying no tax at all in Canada.
On the other hand with a consumer tax, the poor and the working public will end up paying all of the tax as they have no option but to spend their money in Canada.
Imagine earning $20 million a year tax free, why would business not be in favor of HST?

Tax shift
Has a proposed 2 per cent decrease in the HST influenced how you will vote on the referendum?

As a golden summer beckons, the class of 2011 comes into a different light—a spotlight.
Illuminated by it's glow they are there to be congratulated for the hard work and commitment it has taken to achieve their goals.
And they are to be celebrated along with their families who have provided caring and support to be prepared to take the next step in their adventure through life.
The past years may have seemingly gone by in a blur, but there is much to reflect on—the challenges, the triumphs, the lessons learned, the friendships and plans for the future.
As the graduates cross the stage they pass on to another level with the under-standing and skills needed to make an impact on the road ahead, wherever their personal journey takes them—be it school, trades, travel, or adventure, just to name a few possible destinations.
And when they look back on their graduation day in the years to come, the memories are sure to come flooding back of a time when they realized their dreams and were ready to make more come true.
From the South Delta Leader, congratulations class of 2011.Embark on the way to come with pride and confidence for a job well done.

To sell your houseYou need more than a sign
RE/Max Sales Associate Aileen Noguer combines her people skills with mar-keting and has done so suc-cessfully for some 18 years. "I listen to my clients and I assess their needs before deciding a course of action," says Aileen, who spent many years as a registered nurse and in sales with a medical equipment company. Aileen works hard to get her clients the most amount of money for their property and with the best terms.
My tip for June is to spring clean! De-clutter your home and garden, recycling what you can. In the yard, mow the lawn and keep the edges of gardens tidy. Make sure patio furniture is clean and arranged in comfortable seating patterns. Colourful throw pillows are not just for inside the home - they break up the uniform colour of many patio sets and bring the indoors out. Potted plants can also quickly and easily add colour to decks, patios or paved walkways.
Inside the home, replace heavy drapes with sheers or bright coloured material to let light in and freshen up rooms. Wash windows inside and out, and leave them open before showings to let the fresh air in.
Buyers are looking for clean and tidy homes that have been well-kept. A home with a good layout only counts for so much but with a few extra touches, your home can shine and buyers will take note!

Game trySDSS place fourth in 10th appearance at soccer finals
South Delta Sundevils' Melissa Enno (right) keeps the ball in play on a corner kick as the West Vancouver Sentinel Spartans' goalkeeper Sabine Grutter (centre) and teammate Astryd Van Buuren look on during high school girls' AAA soccer championships Friday (June 3) at McArthur Island field in Kamloops.Dave Eagles photo
PHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R
W ith the bulk of his players set to return next
year, Stephen Burns’ senior girls soccer team at South Delta Second-ary is hoping to make a little bit of history.
Last weekend the head coach led his squad to a 10th consecutive appearance at the pro-vincial finals. Played in Kamloops at McArthur Island Park, Burns and the Sundevils showed plenty of promise by going undefeated in the round robin portion of the tournament but fell 3-0 in the semifinals to defending B.C. champi-on Claremont Secondary from Victoria.
A second loss, this
time 2-0 to South Kam-loops dropped the Sun-devils to fourth overall. But while Burns would have liked his team, which went undefeat-ed in league play and topped the Fraser Val-ley Championships, to have gone further than they did, he was proud of their overall effort.
“Very proud,” he said Monday (June 6). “They played extremely well all year. We won the Fraser Valleys, only the third time we’ve done that.”
The South Delta Sun-devils girls’ soccer team topped its group at the AAA Provincial Champi-onships Friday morning ( June 3) in Kamloops with a 1-0 win over Sur-rey’s Lord [email protected]

INGREDIENTS2-3 lbs. (1-1.5 kg) boneless pork roast1/8 tsp. salt1/8 tsp. pepper1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Glaze½ cup red wine¼ cup brown sugar½ cup frozen orange juice concentrate
One of the hits at the recent Polynesian Fair at Kin Village Community Centre was the orange glazed pork prepared by Veena Thompson, a trained chef, cookbook author and the centre's manager of support services.Philip Raphael photo
Marquee menuKin Village's Veena Thompson puts the ‘special’ in special events cuisine
DIRECTIONSPreheat oven to 350 degrees. Place
pork into a roasting pan. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Cook for one hour.Mix all ingredients for glaze together
in a pot on low heat until it boils.After roast has finished cooking, pour
the glaze over it and cook for an addi-tional hour, basting with glaze every 20 minutes.
Allow the roast to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
Suggested side dishes may include mashed potatoes and buttered aspara-gus.
What makes special events “spe-cial?”
Often, it’s the food which goes a long way to ensuring family, friends and guests enjoy themselves.
Veena Thompson knows that well. As a trained chef, former food colum-nist, cookbook author and manager of support services at the Kin Village Community Centre she understands the need to create that marquee item on the menu that keeps people talking long afterwards.
One such recipe Thompson pre-pared for a recent Polynesian Night at the Kin Village Community Centre in Tsawwassen was orange glazed pork.
Thompson said the dish is a winner, both in taste and presentation. Plus, it fit right in with the party’s theme
which included performances by local Polynesian dance groups.
The recipe is also a health con-scious one that is low in sodium—an ever-present concern when prepar-ing meals for seniors groups that have specific dietary requirements.
John Lusted, director of recreation at Kin Village said having Thomp-son’s expertise in the facility is a big help when it comes to catering for the many events taking place at the com-munity centre which is usually busy each week, hosting everything from ballroom dancing to weddings.
For more information about Kin Village Community Centre call 604-943-7625.
