When was the last time you borrowed a cup

Or poked your head over the fence to say
hello or offer a friendly wave?
Do you even know their names?
If you’re a little more neighbourly than some,
or have found yourself living in the same quiet
neighbourhood for many years, the answer
should be easy.
However, it may not be so for many of
us in today’s world—full of high-density
development, secondary suites and rental
houses with tenancy turnover.
It’s the world we live in now, but it was not
always thus.

three, maybe—where it seemed everyone knew

letter OF THE WEEK
Are off leash areas really needed?
(Re: Fenced freedom for
Fido, South Delta Leader
July 2, 2010)
Facts:
1 . Ev e r y o n e i s a l re a d y
walking their dogs off leash
in most parks in most of
Delta.
2. Dog owners with kids
take their dogs to the chil-
dren's playground.
3. There is a huge fenced
area that dog owners walk
their dogs in at Winskill also
known as playing fields.
4. Other cities/municipali-
ties have open areas or times
in parks to walk a dog.
5. Standing in a fenced
area will not make people
more active.
6. Most people who have
well behaved/trained dogs
don't worry about them.
7. There are few complaints
about dogs on file.
8. Standing in one spot and
having dogs mingle day after
day creates a pack mentality
and makes dogs irritable and
they start competing for top
dog position—not a desir-
able outcome.
9. After a few minutes of
playing, most young dogs
want to walk/run a few kilo-
metres and so do most own-
ers, but maybe walk, not
run.
10. People who own dogs
take their dogs for a walk
once or twice a day.
Definitions:
Walk—move or travel on
legs and feet, alternately
putting one foot a comfort-
able distance in front of, or
sometimes behind, the other,
and usually proceeding at a
moderate pace.
Stand—remain in a partic-
ular place without moving.
11. Who wants to stand
inside a small fenced area?
Maybe people who own very
small dogs, and then they'll
pick up their pooch in fear
when a large dog comes in?
12. Who wants to travel by
car for miles when a perfectly
good little park that one can
walk to is just down the road,
giving more exercise, less fuel
used and less wear and tear on
the road?
Questions:
1. With all the examples
of good to excellent dog off-
leash areas in the Lower Main-
land and in other cities of the
world, why decide on four
small areas for a place the size
of Delta?
2. Why not have times in all
but the most sensitive parks,
as in Vancouver?
3. Why go to the expense of
fencing? If you fenced in the
old race track, some people
from Ladner would use it and
it is large enough.
But on a sunny day, it'll be
hot and they will probably
look for a shady place to walk,
maybe like Ladner Harbour.
Ursula Easterbrook,
Delta
everyone, and a friendly face was just one door
away.
And remember Block Watch and Block
Parents? These neighbour-helping-neighbour
movements that were popular in the ’70s and
’80s are still active now, but there seems to be
fewer telltale signs posted in windows.
And while such developments might be
perceived as signs of the times more so than
any conscious effort to ignore those around us,
it is something of a shame, considering how
beneficial such neighbourly relationships can
be.
At the very least, it helps to know your
neighbours’ names, and have their phone
numbers scribbled somewhere.
Take for example, two incidents in the Lower
Mainland recently. In one, a family escaped
from its burning house after on-the-ball
neighbours alerted them to the blaze.
In the other, neighbours administered
resuscitation attempts to a two-year-old who
had fallen into a residential pool.
Thankfully, the toddler—found face down—
was expected to make a full recovery.
Of course, not all neighbourly benefits are of
the life-and-death variety.
It might simply be nice to see a familiar face
when you’re out washing the car, or know that
if you go away for a week, there’s someone to
water your plants.
Some say progress has made our world a lot
smaller.
Perhaps it’s time to revive that small-world
feel.

Lankau, who has one dachshund

A VISION
FOR
TILBURY
Municipality and MK Delta
Lands have 'eco-industrial'
ideas for River Road properties
KRISTINE SALZMANN
REPORTER
T
he ants, overgrown weeds and blackberry bushes have
taken over the dusty hard packed earth.
The hundreds of people who drive by this vacant
lot on the 9500 block of River Road daily are more concerned
with the traffic, the rumbling of trucks, and their destination
than this unused weedy patch.
But for Thomas Leathem, Delta's director of community
planning and development, this parcel of land in Tilbury
screams potential.
It does for property owner MK Delta Lands, too. A few years
ago, the company put together a design team and has been
working with the Corporation of Delta to create a vision for
this area of Tilbury called Zone C.
Zone C is 152 acres of land, 20 of those owned by MK Delta
Lands, with the Fraser River to the north and to be bordered
by the proposed South Fraser Perimeter Road at the south.
This fall, staff plan to present development guidelines for
the area to council, which if it goes through the approval
process would be integrated into Delta's Official Community
Plan (OCP).
The vision? Efficient, higher value use of industrial lands.
Public amenities to help retain employees, including a "water-
front heart" and main street precinct. An "eco-industrial"
approach to development. And it could all get underway
early next year.
Getting started
The vision started with Mayor Lois Jackson's Save Our
Industrial Lands (SOIL) initiative in 2005, says Leathem.
Acting! Musical Theatre! Voice!
The Academy has fun, exciting classes for students aged 6–18 that provide professional al
Acting, Musical Theatre and Voice training. Classes are filling quickly, so sign up today
for Fall and Winter Classes.
Call Principal Elizabeth Conway at 604.247.4975 to register for class.
Seating is limited, so call today.
Around that time Metro Vancouver had completed a
study which highlighted the shortage of industrial land in
the region.
"It was clear that we were going to run out fairly quickly
actually, by about 2020, according to their projection we
would be out of industrial land," he says.
The study motivated Delta to take a closer look at its indus-
trial land and develop a plan to realize the potential of vacant
lots and convert others from low-end, inefficient uses such
as truck parking.
A number of lots throughout Tilbury are demolition debris,
land clearing and construction waste sites (DLC), contami-
nated areas that need to be cleaned up and receive environ-
mental approvals before the land can be used.
In addition to the need to remediate some lands, the rede-
velopment of Tilbury is challenged by long, narrow lots and
numerous owners.
For planning purposes Delta divided Tilbury into four
zones, A through D, east to west.
It's Zone C Delta is excited about, thanks to the leadership
role taken on by MK Delta Lands.
"We said the type of vision the Mayor has to maximize the
efficiency of those lands really couldn't be achieved with
those kinds of fragmented ownership," says Joanne Barnett,
vice president of MK Delta Lands. "We said we would take the
lead with Zone C owners to develop comprehensive plan that
doesn't necessarily have to do with property ownerships. We
would plan the lands as if it were one large holding and come
up with the most efficient and cutting edge land uses."
MK Delta Lands' team met regularly with landowners and
Delta staff to develop an "eco-industrial" concept for Zone
C, and a working draft was presented to council in the fall of

2008. In 2009, staff started to put together detailed develop-
ment guidelines to deal with specifics such as energy, waste-
water, design and character of buildings, and sensitive eco-
logical areas, that will be presented to council this fall with
plans to integrate it into the Official Community Plan.
"The bottom line is we don't want it all to be truck parking
and low end uses like wood chipping," says Leathem.
Adds Delta planner John Hopkins, "Really, industrial uses
that don't impart a lot of capital investment and don't create
a lot of jobs."
The vision
So what could Zone C look like?
Looking at the working draft, the first words that attract
your attention are "waterfront heart." In the middle of indus-
trial Tilbury?
"A lot of people working these industrial areas, they need
amenities, too—places to go to lunch, open spaces. And we've
heard that from a lot of industrial businesses that in order
to attract and retain employes, they need to have attractive
things to offer," says Leathem.
The draft keeps in mind there will be industrial users who
want access to the river, and it's noted in the draft there's an
opportunity for interpretive signage and public education
about the history of the Fraser.
The waterfront heart is not meant to be a tourism destina-
tion with numerous restaurants and shops—that would drive

W
hen you have a good friend,
time apart shouldn't get in
the way of resuming a rela-
tionship.
You should be able to pick right up
where you left off—no problem, right?
But when that "good friend" hap-
pens to be a green, 1967 Pontiac Beau-
mont, that you've had for the past 31
years, getting back together can mean
a good deal of time in the shop and
more than a few dollars.
That's just what Rick Richardson of
Ladner Autobody went through—five
years while paying some bills to bring
the classically styled, two-door hard top
back to its former, emerald green glory.
It will be among the shined up autos
on display at this year's Quilt Walk and
Classic Car Show Aug. 15 in Ladner Vil-
lage.
"Everyone knew this car," says Rich-
ardson. "And I was known as the guy
with the green car."

decided to rekindle the relationship
and have it restored. That was five
years ago, and it recently underwent
a series of tweaks to make sure every-
thing has been done right leading up
to the Ladner show that brings in thou-
sands of car and quilt enthusiasts for
the village's largest, single day event.
Last year Richardson entered the
Beaumont—Pontiac's version of the
Chevelle—in the Ladner show when
it was close to being finished.
This time around, pretty much all
the boxes have been ticked and it's
ready to roll.
One of the most impressive upgrades
Richardson has had made to the car is
under the hood where the power plant
now packs 500 horsepower.
Originally, those numbers for the V8
motor pegged in at between 325 and
350 ponies.
But it's much more than performance
and good looks that is the attraction of
this classic car for Richardson.

ant to feel the pulse of a
community that cares?
Just talk to Ali Roddam—
she can tell you all about it after help-

Night Market last summer.
The effort was a fundraiser to sup-
port the Delta Hospice
Society hosted by Rod-
dam—who with her

lage merchants.
This year's night market, set
for Aug.14 from 4-9 p.m. at the Har-
bourside Plaza on Delta Street, will
again support the hospice which is a
near and dear cause for Roddam and
others in the village.
Roddam says the idea sprang from
chats she had with Michael Rudd who
runs Open Space Yoga.
"Both of our families had been
touched by cancer and the hospice,
and we were looking for ways to give
back to such an amazing facility," Rod-
dam says.
Then Jenny Ho, owner of The Quilt-
ed Bear in Ladner, suggested a night
market would be a good way to draw
people to the village.
And they thought the day prior to
the annual Quilt Walk and Classic Car
Show would be a good date.
The idea was a winner as 20 merchants

On Aug. 14 Delta Hospice Society supporters will have another opportunity
to contribute to the organization while enjoying a community event.

friendly activities have been added to
welcome more families to the event.
"There's going to be kids crafts, a nice
friendly clown, kids yoga, and a boun-
cy castle by donation," Roddam says,
adding she has been delighted with the
response and support shown by fellow
Ladner merchants.
"It's been wonder-
ful," she says. "It really
showed how much the
community cares."
According to hospice
officials, since the resi-
dence, named after Irene
Thomas, opened in February
more than 40 families have ben-
efitted from the expert care of the
nurses, support staff and volunteers.
The new Harold and Veronica Savage
Centre for Supportive Care continues to
connect with people throughout Delta
to offer information, resources, coun-
selling and other support services.
The Delta Hospice Society set out
to raise $8.6 million in September of
2007 to build Delta’s first free stand-
ing hospice residence and centre for
supportive care.
With the help of corporate and com-
munity donations, the society has
raised $7.6 million to date.

FOREIGN IMPORT—Tsawwassen's Mark Pearson, displaying his team jersey, spent the last season
playing field hockey in Hamburg, Germany for Club An Der Alster and is now looking forward to
representing Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India this October. Philip Raphael photo
Games on the horizon
Tsawwassen's Mark Pearson faces a busy field hockey
schedule with his German club and Canadian team
PHILIP RAPHAEL
EDITOR
A
s if he wasn't busy enough
already, add continue
learning German to Mark
Pearson's "to do" list.
That might be a bit abstract for
most Canadian field hockey play-
ers, but not for the Tsawwassen
product, who despite turning 23
in June has already racked up 78
caps for Canada.
Pearson played professionally
in Hamburg, Germany last season
for Club An Der Alster.
He's going back for another sea-
son in the next couple of months,
but prior to that he will suit up for
Canada in a series against Chile out
at the University of B.C. this week,
and then resume training with the
national side in preparation for the
Commonwealth Games in Delhi,
India this October.
Drop in between that another
month of play with Hamburg,
then there's the Olympic Summer
Games in London, England—but
that's in 2012.
It all makes for a hectic time for
Pearson, but one he is enjoying
while proving to be a mainstay
in the Canadian team after being
part of squads at the Olympic
Summer Games in Beijing (2008)
and the Field Hockey World Cup
played this February in Delhi
where Canada placed 11th.
"We went into the World Cup
ranked in 11th spot, and that's
where we ended up," says the
lanky forward who scored a pair
of goals at the tournament. "We
were hoping to crack the top
eight, but that's a pretty hard
thing to do."
The Canadian team is hop-
ing to gather some momentum
leading up the upcoming Com-
monwealth Games where there
is expected to be a strong line up
of teams, even without the pow-
erhouse Dutch, tactically strong
Germans, or perennial arch rivals
Argentina in attendance.
It will be Pearson's second
appearance at the Commonwealth
Games—his first was in Mel-
bourne, Australia back in 2006.
Since then Pearson believes
he's come a long way in rounding
out his game, adding a big step
forward has been gaining experi-
ence in Europe.
Pearson and fellow Canadian
teammate Scott Tupper caught
on with the Hamburg side follow-
ing training sessions and games
in San Diego a year and a half ago
when the Alster team faced off
with the Canadian squad.
The team's manager
