Premier Christy Clark hearda plethora of South Delta issuesduring what may have been a pre-election visit Monday.

The Liberal premier metwith constituents, business andcommunity leaders in a round-table discussion at the Town andCountry Inn, which was closed tothe media and general public.

In an interview with theOptimist immediately followingthe meeting, Clark, who earlierin the day met with North Deltacommunity members at the Delta

Lion Pub and Bistro, said shewanted to get up to speed andconnect with those who are mak-ing a difference in South Delta.

“I committed to opening upgovernment when I got elected inMarch. So, I’ve been doing townhalls all across the province andthis is part of it. It’s a smallergroup, it’s more focused, but ifyou don’t hear what people haveon their minds, you can’t run agovernment that reflects citizens’priorities...,” Clark said.

Some of those who partici-pated in the South Delta meetingincluded Burns Bog ConservationSociety president Eliza Olson,

Delta school board chair DaleSaip, Ladner Sediment Group’sMike Owen, Tsawwassen FirstNation chief Kim Baird and repre-

sentatives with the Delta Chamberof Commerce and Delta Farmers’Institute.

Clark noted some of the bigissues in the riding remain agri-culture and protecting farmland,

as well as Deltaport and the SouthFraser Perimeter Road.

The premier said Delta isunique in that the community,

as well as Vancouver and PrinceRupert, are “the face of Canada toAsia” when it comes to exportingCanadian goods.

It’s not clear when the premierwill call an election, but there’s

speculation she could call onesometime this year. In the 2009election, the ruling Liberals lostthe Delta South riding to indepen-dent Vicki Huntington.

When she paid a visit to SouthDelta earlier this year during herLiberal leadership campaign,Clark was asked how the partycould win back support in theriding. She responded that sheintends to change the culture inVictoria so government listensto communities. Former schooltrustee Kelly Guichon recentlyannounced she’s seeking theLiberal nomination in Delta

South. She said she likeswhat she sees in Clark,especially the new premier’s“families first” agenda aswell as attitude toward opengovernment.

Earlier this year, duringthe Liberal leadership cam-paign, former Delta SouthMLA Val Roddick notedinterest in the party in theriding was high and thatshe wouldn’t be surprisedif membership reaches orsurpasses the all-time highset in 1999.

Nic Slater, who ran forthe New Democrats feder-ally in Delta-RichmondEast in this year’s federalelection, was acclaimed the

NDP candidate locally.In the 2009 provincial

election, Huntington nar-rowly beat the Liberals’Wally Oppal, due in largepart to many traditionalNDP voters switching toHuntington as a strategicmove.

In a recent interview,Slater predicted Huntingtonand the Liberals will haveto fight for every vote nexttime.

It’s not clear whetherHuntington will run againas an independent in thenext election or perhapsjoin the Conservatives ledby former longtime MPJohn Cummins.

A familiar name in Deltais tossing her hat in the ringfor the upcoming civic elec-tion.

Longtime local residentSylvia Bishop made it offi-cial Thursday by announc-ing her intention to run fora Delta council seat in theNov. 19 election.

“I am declaring my can-didacy today to give methe chance to meet with asmany Deltans as possibleto listen to their concerns,”said Bishop. “They deservea strong and articulate voiceon the issues that mattermost to them. I bring thatvoice and I am ready to goto work for the people ofDelta.”

A familiar name to many,Bishop ran in Delta’s by-election last year, placingsecond behind Ian Paton.

“I was gratified so manypeople throughout all ofDelta supported me lastyear,” she said, noting shetopped the polls in manyareas but could not over-come the support Ladnerthrew behind Paton.

“I hope that everyonewho voted for me last yearwill do so again this Nov.19th. I hope those that

didn’t will consider me asone of their six choices.”

Bishop brings a wealthof community experienceto her campaign. She is adedicated volunteer witha strong community spirit.Bishop has served on theMayor’s Youth Task Force,the South Delta ArtistsGuild and co-founded theWinskill Youth Drop-inCentre. In 1992, she wasrecognized as one of Delta’sOutstanding Citizens for thehard work she performedas chair of the youth taskforce. Bishop’s communityservice has been acknowl-edged several times withvolunteer appreciationawards from Delta.

A longtime Tsawwassenresident, Bishop is con-cerned about the pro-posed development of theSouthlands.

“There is no doubt, thesingle most important issuein Tsawwassen is the pro-posed development of theSouthlands. The loss offarmland, traffic congestionand impact on Delta’s infra-structure are top concerns.”

Bishop is also concernedabout issues in other partsof Delta.

“In North Delta, we seethe erosion of Burns Bogwith encroaching develop-ment while the need forimproved infrastructure inneighbourhoods is ignored.

The character of our com-munity is changing drasti-cally. Who’s sticking up forthat?”

The loss of farmland todevelopment, the possibil-

ity of an incinerator locatedhere and the expansion ofthe port are other concerns.

“We need council mem-bers who will insist thecommunity is included indiscussions and their inputwelcomed right from thebeginning.”

Bishop also stated thereis a growing dissatisfactionwith the performance atmunicipal hall.

“Many residents I’ve spo-ken with do not feel theyare being heard or listenedto. When they do speak up,they are accused of beinguninformed,” she said, cit-ing the Southlands publicmeetings as an example.

“There is a perceptionthat council is out of touchwith the concerns of its citi-zens. Confidence in munici-pal hall and its processesmust be restored. I will dothis working together withthe community, all mem-bers of council and staff.”

Bishop has long roots inDelta, moving to the areain 1966.

She has two grownchildren and lives inTsawwassen with her hus-band Rob. Bishop is a grad-uate of Delta Secondary

and was a teacher in theDelta school district for

more than 20 years.She also served as a

faculty associate at SFUand was an assistant direc-tor of the B.C. Teachers’Federation.

Bishop writes an opin-ion column for the DeltaOptimist. She has volun-teered on many projects,including saving DeltaHospital and organizingvolunteers for the anti-HSTcampaign.

Delta will spend just over $250,000 to design new drainage water and sewer services at Boundary Bay Airport. Delta councilawarded a contract to ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. last week to plan new servicing infrastructure that is expectedto encourage industrial growth in the area. Engineering director Steven Lan told council the current servicing at the airport landdoesn’t meet standards. In June, council approved a zoning amendment to extend the light industrial and business park use areaat the airport in order to allow an auto parts warehouse and distribution operation to open. Two years earlier, council agreed witha request by Alpha Aviation, which leases and operates the municipal airport, to lease land that doesn’t have direct access to theairport apron or runways to a wider range of users, including warehousing, wholesaling and distribution, as well as business parkoffice uses. Airport land had been originally intended for aviation uses only but it proved harder to find those businesses for Alpha.Earlier this year, Delta extended its lease with Alpha Aviation to 2099.

The CEO of GlobalContainer Terminals says hewants to dispel any mythsand misconceptions aboutforeign trade zones.

Responding to recentconcerns raised by Deltapoliticians and in the media,Michael Moore, CEO ofGlobal Container Terminals,has written a letter to coun-cil offering assurances localgovernance and taxationwould not be bypassed.

“We are not asking forany exemptions from localregulations, changes tomunicipal taxes, or reduc-tions in federal and provin-cial corporate taxes,” wroteMoore.

“What we are asking forare changes to federal pro-grams, simplifying access,providing a single federalpoint of contact, reducingor removing the restrictionson added value in thoseprograms, and creatinglocal structures that willimprove marketing. Theseproposals are national inscope, and are not directedat any particular region.”

GCT Global ContainerTerminals Inc. a whollyowned subsidiary of theOntario Teachers’ PensionPlan and one of the larg-est financial institutionsin Canada, wants the fed-eral government to exploreestablishing foreign tradezones. The company oper-ates four container termi-nals through several prin-cipal businesses includingTSI Terminal Systems Inc.at Deltaport.

Global ContainerTerminals is part of a steer-ing committee chairedby Moore that includesYVR, CN, CPR, PortMetro Vancouver, Halifaxand Montreal Ports, andCentrePort in Winnipeg.

The B.C. governmentthis year hired a firm toresearch the potential com-petitive advantages of for-eign trade zones. That studyhas been completed andthe government is currentlyreviewing the findings.

Foreign trade zones existin numerous jurisdictionsaround the world.

They were created in theUnited States to providespecial customs procedures,including duty-free treat-ment, to U.S. firms engagedin international trade-related activities. By havinggoods sitting in the zones,duty payment is deferredon those items until theyare brought out for sale inthe market. The zones aresupposed to help to offsetcustoms advantages avail-able to overseas producerswho compete with domesticindustry.

However, there’s beenuncertainty around whatthe potential impacts couldbe for a host community,including growing concernabout what could happen inSouth Delta, mentioned onnumerous occasions as theprime candidate for a zone.

At Delta council a fewweeks ago, local politiciansraised questions including

whether speculators buyingup agricultural properties inSouth Delta are anticipatinglands being converted forindustrial purposes withoutDelta’s or the AgriculturalLand Commission’s con-sent. Other concernsincluded whether munici-pal zoning regulationsand taxes will be avoidedby firms within the tradezones.

Delta North MP GuyGentner recently warnedcouncil a trade zone couldbecome an autonomousauthority within the com-munity. Gentner said hereceived materials throughan Freedom of InformationRequest including a‘briefing note’ from IMSWorldwide Inc., a foreigntrade zone consultant, stat-ing local site controls onCanadian foreign tradezones should be restricted.

In a recent letter to coun-cil, Susan Jones with theBoundary Bay ConservationCommittee listed a myriadof concerns, including envi-ronmental impacts associ-ated with establishing aforeign trade zone, coupledwith the proposed doublingof container capacity atDeltaport.

Moore, who also pro-vided a submission paperby his steering committee,told council the creation ofspecial zones will increaseB.C.’s and Canada’s attrac-tiveness to investors,importers and exporters,bringing economic benefitsnot only to the provincebut also host municipali-ties. The recommendationsto amend Canada’s foreigntrade zone-like policies,noted in the submission,also include allowingCanadian companies thatsell a significant proposi-tion of their productionwithin Canada to partici-pate, as well as allowing thedeferral of GST/HST untilproducts depart the zones tothe Canadian market.

Delta police officers hadrun-ins with suspects in twoseparate incidents over theweekend.

At about 7 a.m. Friday,officers were called to the400-block of Seashell Drivein Tsawwassen after callsabout a theft in progress.Upon arrival at the scene,officers identified the sus-pect vehicle and attemptedto stop the suspects, whowere driving a vehicle sto-len in Surrey and caughtrummaging through a carin the Boundary Bay areaneighbourhood.

Police spokesperson A/

“Plain clothes officersin the area observed thefleeing vehicle and, withassistance of other plainclothes officers attending tothe area, conducted covertsurveillance on suspectsinto Surrey.”

With the help of SurreyRCMP officers, two youngoffenders were arrested asthey pulled into a privatedriveway.

The two suspects, aged15 and 17 of Surrey, were

Early Saturday morn-ing, an officer on patrolin North Delta attemptedto stop a vehicle travelingat a high rate of speed inthe 11200-block of 72ndAvenue.

er, a 25-year-old man, cameto a stop, exited the car andtried to run into the house.

The officer interceptedthe man and attempted toplace him under arrest. Theman resisted and a fightensued.

In 2009, the house wasdestroyed by fire andlate last year the societylaunched a fundraising

campaign to help rebuildthe house.

Construction is wellunderway but money is stillneeded to help completethe project and make thesociety’s vision become areality.

Aside from rebuildingthe house, the society isaiming at expanding its

services.The new 1,800-square

foot facility will also beavailable to the communityfor use as a multi-purposespace, as well as an educa-tion facility for the group.

As part of its mission,the society has commit-ted to reduce and preventthe harm associated with

substanceabuse, andto supportthe effortsof absti-nence-basedrecoverythroughthe col-laboration,educationand facilita-tion withcommunitystakehold-ers.

Not much toshow after25 years

TEDMURPHY

MURPHY’SLAW

It was a celebration, although I’m notso sure it warranted one.

Last Wednesday in Burnaby, politi-cians got together with SkyTrain officialsto mark the 25th anniversary of rapidtransit in the Lower Mainland. GraceMcCarthy, a cabinet minister in BillBennett’s Social Credit government thatbrought us SkyTrain, was on hand for theoccasion, remarking, “Opening SkyTrainin 1986 was a defining moment forMetro Vancouver.”

I tend to agree with her, although notnecessarily in a good way.

A quarter of a century later, we have ameasly three rapid transit lines in GreaterVancouver that provide a grand total a68 kilometres of track. That’s roughly thedistance between Tsawwassen and theAbbotsford Airport, provided you takethe 16th Avenue route and not the longerway via Highway 1.

In other words, it’s not a lot to showfor 25 years and billions of dollars worthof rapid transit construction.

It’s obvious the model chosen forGreater Vancouver is prohibitively expen-sive, and although there’s no denying theservice SkyTrain provides is fantastic,the issue is with its limited scope.

It seems to me that after a quarter ofa century we should have more than 68kilometres worth of rapid transit, butperhaps I’m just too impatient and goodthings come to those who wait. Afterall, big projects like this don’t get doneovernight.

Figuring that’s likely the case, I lookedat the timelines of some of the most sig-nificant infrastructure work just to makemyself feel better.

It took five long years to expand theCanadian Pacific Railway from Ontarioto B.C., but that was back in the 1880s,so you’ve got to think the technology wasbetter and the only real obstacle they hadto deal with were those pesky Rockies.

It took a whopping 10 years to buildthe Panama Canal, but again, that was acentury ago, so I’m sure moving earthwas a snap at that time. The four yearsit took to build the Golden Gate Bridgeprobably isn’t a fair comparison becauseit was done as recently as the 1930s andthe two decades it took to construct theGreat Pyramid in 2570 BC likely seemeda lot longer because a person’s lifespanwas so much shorter then.

As for present-day GreaterVancouverites, well, we’ve got theEvergreen Line to look forward to — aslong as we can figure out a way to payfor it. And who knows, 25 years fromnow, when SkyTrain celebrates its goldenanniversary, we just might have another68 kilometres in the system.

Riots, revolutions, anger, fear,impotence and hopelessness.

We are hearing so much of thisall around the world, includingin our own community, it almostseems like the only thing left to dois to sit in front of the TV watchingdrivel about the foibles of the richand famous or cower in bed withthe blankets pulled firmly over ourheads.

There is a general feeling ofmalaise among the public whofeel so ignored and powerless thatthey’ve almost given up trying tokeep those who are supposed torepresent us, the people, in check.

This it seems, is what a numberof those who hold positions ofpower and wealth would like thegeneral public to do.

Give up.It is much easier then, to act in

ways that will profit them from

policies and activities that haveseen a growing disparity betweenthe privileged and the ever growingmasses of the poor.

There have been all kinds ofcommentary about the Vancouverand London riots and why theyhappened.

We’ve watched the Arab Springuprising and its ensuing takingdown of governments and wonderwhy we are seeing this upheaval.Are the root causes the same?Possibly yes.

I’m not giving excuses for thebehaviour of those involved in riot-ing but I do think there is a connec-tion between riots and revolutions.

Both result from a loss ofrespect for authority and those whowield it.

Whether we live in a democracyor a dictatorship, when we seethose who govern us act in illegal,immoral and unethical ways andthere are no real consequences fortheir actions, those in authority willfind it difficult to call out othersfor doing what is also illegal andunethical.

Why should we be surprisedwhen we see a generation thatfinds it hard to find a moralcompass when our financial andpolitical leaders continually flout

the law and suffer little or no con-sequences.

The irony in this is that in adictatorship, when favoured statusis given to policies and projectsthat enrich government supportersover the objections of their people,eventually they revolt.

In a democracy, we see that itbecomes hard to convince peoplethat their vote makes any differenceand they stop voting, which eventu-ally results in a form of democraticdictatorship, as those who have avested interest in a present govern-ment will ensure they retain power.They get out and vote.

There’s a growing tendency forgovernments to not only ignorethe wishes of the people who areaffected by their policies but to dis-parage and marginalize those whotry to fight back.

Locally, survey results are seem-ingly ignored, public hearings arecancelled and it seems “the pro-cess” is uncertain and ever chang-ing.

When ordinary citizens feel thenecessity to storm city hall to beheard, it’s time to get involved.Please don’t give up, get active.

Public must stay active keepingthose in power in check

Letters to the Editor

Hero teens save man’s lifeEditor:

Most of the news wehear or read these days isso negative and frighten-ing it makes me want tostop watching or readingthe news entirely. However,here’s a great news storythat deserves reporting.

On a recent Mondaymorning, as my father wastending his garden, he sud-denly felt weak and col-lapsed to the ground. Heremained conscious, butwas unable to stand or helphimself.

Fortunately, three teensjust happened to be walk-ing nearby, and my dad stillhad the strength to speakout, “Would you help me,please?”

Immediately, these threeran over to help. Theyquickly assessed the situ-ation: one knocked on thedoor to find my mom inside

and have her call 911; theother two stayed with mydad and helped him comeinside the house.

They waited with my par-ents, continuing to consolemy frantic mom, and assistmy dad, until the firefight-ers and ambulance para-medics arrived.

Sensing a possible heartattack, the paramedics tookboth my mom and dad tothe emergency at DeltaHospital.

The three youth, alongwith the firefighters,ensured all was OK aroundthe home and garden, thenleft.

Jake Abram, GeoffAnderson and GeoffreyKonkin are the three teensthat saved my dad’s life.Thank you, thank you,thank you. Without yourquick response and willing-ness to help, I hate to think

what might have happened.You are true heroes, and

deserve recognition as such.You definitely saved mydad’s life.

Postscript: Dad is nowhome from the hospital,resting and recuperating,very thankful for the quickthinking and support fromJake, Geoff and Geoffrey.And mom is over the moonknowing she has threeguardian angels.

My parents are in theirmid 80s, each with healthissues and mobility con-cerns, but wanting to enjoylife, independently, in theirown home.

As the daughter, wholives over an hour’s driveaway, it is very hearteningto know they have such ter-rific neighbours.

Editor:Re: Preservation efforts

frustrated, Aug. 17I read the article with

interest as I’ve long been anadvocate of conserving ourprovince’s heritage.

I can understand Coun.Anne Peterson’s frustrationover the potential loss of theKittson House. I’m hearingthe same frustration acrossthe province as heritageproperties are demolisheddue to a lack of resourcesto preserve these importantpieces of our history.

For many years B.C. wasa national leader in heritageconservation, but a decadeof B.C. Liberal neglect hassullied our reputation. In2009, the government cutall funds to Heritage B.C.and we’ve seen invest-ments in heritage protectionreduced by 40 per cent.

Next year Heritage B.C.warns there could be nofunds to support cities like

Delta to preserve local heri-tage.

The decimation ofHeritage B.C., coupled withthe deepest cuts to arts inour history, puts B.C. at adisadvantage economically.We’ve seen losses in cultur-al tourism and the creativesector. And we risk losingour ability as a society tounderstand our past, and becreative about our future.

Adrian Dix and theNew Democrat officialOpposition have been call-ing for the province to getits priorities right. We seethe shiny over-budget $600million B.C. Place roof, andcuts most everywhere else.

How about re-invest-ing in our arts and culturesectors, and taking strongaction to conserve our heri-tage before it’s gone?

For one week in October let’s think small.

Delta-based Samson TugBoats is offering anotheroption when it comes toship-berthing services onthe Fraser River.

The upstart company hasbeen operating for about amonth.

“We saw the opportunityfor competition here – thecustomers had been askingfor it for some time. Ourgoal is to provide the bestquality ship berthing ser-vice in British Columbia,”says managing directorGordon Yahn.

Yahn and fellow man-

aging director BrianMcWhirter have over 50years of experience in themarine industry.

Samson uses a new ASDtug boat that was built inMaple Ridge.

“The boat will movesideways at seven knots. It’sa hot rod, it really is,” saysYahn.

McWhirter says the boathas special features on it.

“The fact that this typeof sophisticated equipmentcan be built here in B.C.says something about ourindustry – something verypositive,” he says.

Samson has around sevenemployees and another tugon the way as well.

“We will be growing.We’ll be doubling that,employing more BritishColumbians as the otherboat comes online and weget busier,” says Yahn.

Visit the company’swebsite at www.samsontug-boats.com.

Delta’s Allen Yieh has asummer job with heart.

Yieh recently returnedfrom four weeks mentor-ing with Canada’s topcardiovascular research-ers in Vancouver as partof the Heart and StrokeFoundation of B.C. andYukon’s 17th annual HighSchool Summer ResearchProgram.

Ten extraordinary stu-dents were chosen to par-ticipate in the only cardio-vascular research mentoringprogram for students inCanada to help unlock themystery of cardiovasculardisease this summer.

“For a future career, I’minterested in both researchand the clinical side of bio-medical science,” Yieh said.

The program is open toGrade 11 students in B.C.and is designed to motivatestudents with a strong inter-est in biology and/or medi-cine to consider a career incardiovascular research.

“We’re seeing less mul-tiple-offer situations in themarket today compared tothe last few months, but ourmembers tell us that homespriced competitively con-tinue to sell at a relativelyswift pace,” said RosarioSetticasi, REBGV presi-

dent.The benchmark price for

all residential properties inGreater Vancouver was at$630,251 for July, a 9.2 percent increase over last year.

In South Delta, thebenchmark price reached$749,720 in July, which isup slightly over the three-month average of $730,293.

ship professional LyndaChalmers is involved in a

new Internet dating service.“She’s got a lot of knowl-

edge about relationshipsand what works and whatdoesn’t,” says Dating 4Boomers president AngieSmith.

There are people – many,many people, I am sure– who are right now liningup to take a trip into space.

These many people willhave heard of the planby VirginGalactic totake folksaboard itsSpaceShipTwoon a sub-orbital jour-ney high upin the atmo-sphere.

The costof the 3.5-hour mis-sion? A mere$200,000.

Now maybeI’m a tad onthe stingy side, but I am notinclined to go on a trip anytime soon that costs almost$1,000 a minute. And

besides, when I go on a trip,I generally like it to last atleast two nights and involvea swimming pool, a queen-sized bed and a lobby bar.

But then again, I imag-ine I do not have a lot incommon with the eventualSpaceShipTwo travellers.They are people who willhave an abundance ofwhat’s called “disposalincome.”

They will have hadtheir fill ofMediterraneancruises andAfrican safa-ris. They willnot necessarilypine for a tripthat involvesa swimmingpool, becausethey willalready havegrown boredof their ownpool – the onethat’s beyondthe tenniscourts and the

gated nine-hole golf courseand 10,000-square-footcaretaker’s residence.

They will have heardabout Virgin Galactic’soffer, of course, and thoughtto themselves: “Well, now,that might be a moderatelyenjoyable way of passing anafternoon. Sure beats anoth-er dreary week on Crete.”

Well, here’s what I’d liketo say to all those folks:“You can have your tenniscourt and your golf course,which is probably ridicu-lously challenging, anyway,and has WAY too manywater features.

“You can also have yourcaretaker’s residence, andyour caretaker, who is prob-ably sick to death of clean-ing up after your horses andyour house guests, who areno doubt also sick of Creteand planning to go with youon that sub-orbital journey.”

And when it comes tosub-orbital journeys – well,I wouldn’t even know whereto begin.

If I could, I would tellthese folks that a sub-orbit-al journey sounds just so,

well, stupid.SpaceShipTwo is not

likely to be equipped withthe things I value in aircraft(i.e., flight attendants push-ing snack trolleys), and Iam betting passengers willnot have the opportunityto watch some really rivet-ing movie. Like Dumb andDumber, say.

If I could, I would tellthem that nothing rivalsa weekend in Seattle– or even an overnighter inBellingham.

Who wants outer spacewhen one can deal with funthings like border cross-ings?

Chances are, of course,the would-be SpaceShipTwotravellers would peg me assilly.

Or misinformed. Or– yikes – maybe even jeal-ous.

Not so, I’d like to tellthem.

I don’t envy them theirspace flights. Not whenSeattle awaits.

BARBARAGUNN

LIVINGMATTERS

Why go into space when there’s always Seattle?Sub-orbital journey, which includes 3.5 hours aboard Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, costs $200,000

If I could, I would tellthem that nothingrivals a weekend inSeattle – or evenan overnighter inBellingham. Whowants outer spacewhen one can dealwith fun things likeborder crossings?

Delta SportsRobson heads to Florida after signing with Jays

Tom Robson is now officially amember of the Toronto Blue Jays.

The 18-year-old pitcher fromLadner, who was the top Canadianselected in June’s Major LeagueDraft, agreed to terms last weekand has since reported to theclub’s training facility in Dunedin,Florida.

Robson was eligible to sign assoon as he was drafted but thenegotiation process dragged rightup to the Aug. 15th deadline forplayers with college eligibility.That led to Robson seeing onlylimited action in a relief role forthe national junior team and withthe Langley Blaze of the B.C.Premier Baseball League.

“We anticipated, based on dis-cussions with Tom’s advisor (JimLindell), it would go right up to(Aug. 15) and true enough it did,”said Howard Robson, Tom’s father.“Ultimately, Tom is happy for theopportunity to play for Toronto.”

Robson received a signingbonus of $325,000 which is wellabove his slot value ($189,000)as a third round draft pick butthe hope was Toronto would bewilling to put more money on thetable.

Typically, MLB teams have topay significantly above the bonusslot to entice a college eligibleplayer to walk away from a schol-arship opportunity. The recentDelta secondary school graduatehad already committed to ArizonaCommunity College, considered

the top junior college program inthe U.S.

The Blue Jays, Boston Red Soxand San Diego Padres were thethree teams that showed the mostinterest in Robson prior to thedraft.

The Red Sox indicated theywanted to select him with a laterround pick but would offer a sub-stantial signing bonus. With thatnumber in mind, Robson’s advisorand family hoped the Blue Jayswould come close to matchingBoston’s potential dollar figures.In the end, Robson elected for thehometown discount to sign with ateam he grew up watching.

“If it was any other team, Tomwouldn’t have signed (for thatmoney),” added Howard Robson.“He was actually only crossing the

‘t’s and dotting the ‘i’s away fromgoing to college. “But going thatroute doesn’t guarantee anythingand we have seen where it canactually hurt a player’s value. Inthe end, he gets to play for a teamgrew up idolizing for the sake ofmaking a little more money.

“Given his experience with thenational junior team and wherehe has played, he not just a typi-cal high school pitcher and I havelittle doubt he will thrive in theenvironment he is going into.”

Robson has done limited bull-pen throwing in Dunedin andcould be staying put to participatein Fall Instructional League whichbegins next month. Another optionis pitching for the national juniorteam at the Americas World JuniorQualifier in Columbia.

Pioneers head coach commitsto next season with added help

It took about as long astime winding down on the30-second shot clock for theLadner Pioneers to be look-ing ahead 2012.

It was less than twoweeks ago the Pioneersfound themselves twowins away from the WestCoast Senior LacrosseAssociation playoff title andmaking plans to attend thePresident’s Cup nationalchampionships. That quicklyunravelled when the Tri-City Bandits won gamesthree and four to capturethe best-of-five series andthe Pioneers decided not tohead east to represent B.C.

“We had a sponsor whowas willing to pay ($17,000)for our plane tickets butonly if we were provincialchampions,” explainedLadner head coach BobTaylor. “The thought waswe would be going there asB.C.’s best team or it else itwould take away the signifi-

cance of being there. Really,it makes a lot of sense.”

In the end, the Banditschanged their mind and willbe going to Akwesasne afterall. Prior to the playoffseven being completed, theleague purchased 20 airlinetickets at a cost of $15,000and put pressure on bothteams for the winner tocommit to the tournamentor be on the hook for thebalance ($11,000) not beingcovered by the WCSLA.

The Pioneers can at leastlook back on a campaignthat turned out far betterthan anticipated. Tayloragreed to become headcoach just weeks before thestart of the regular seasonand found himself strug-gling to put a roster togetherafter many players decidednot to return.

The end result was ayouth movement and a boostfrom the organization’sSenior “C” team for Ladnerto be a force again. ThePioneers rolled off a fran-chise record 12 consecutive

wins to secure the regularseason championship andcaptured series againstChilliwack and Nanaimo toadvance to the finals.

Goaltender Kevin Hillwas named co-MVP, whileNathan Clare won theleague scoring title, wasselected to the first all-starteam and took rookie-of-the-year honours. TheLadner native was unavail-able for the finals after suf-fering a shoulder injury inthe Nanaimo series. Otherleague awards includedQuinn Waddington, TravisSt. Germain and captainDave Yee earning spots onthe second all-star team.Taylor was named coach-of-the-year, Ross Frehlickmanager-of-the-year andLexi Vass trainer-of-the-year.

Meanwhile, Taylor haswasted little time in com-mitting to next season. Hepromises to be active in therecruiting process as thePioneers look to take a runat representing B.C. at the

2012 nationals in Alberta.He also says Frehlick willbe taking on a larger roleand his wife, former DeltaMinor Lacrosse president

Denise Taylor, will beinvolved on the executiveside of the operations.

“There are some changeswe will be looking to

make,” added Taylor. “Wedefinitely want more of acommitment from the play-ers with the goal being get-ting to the President’s Cup.”

At another Roadshow event, awoman, named Mira Kovalchek,walked in with a tin full of hundredsof old coins that were given to heras a young child by her grandfather.She finally decided to come in to theRoadshow and see what he had givenher. She was ecstatic to learn she hadcoins dating back to the late 1800’s,some of which were extremely rare.
