assie Brown watched from a safe
distance as the orange flames
licked their way through a hole
in the roof of the old, wooden apartment
building in Ladner and reminisced wist-
fully about happier times.
That was on the evening of July 30 when
the block of seniors' housing units on Ever-
green Lane caught fire, leaving 22 elderly
folks without a home and bereft of most of
their valued possessions.
It was Brown's thoughts of visiting
her grandmother who used to live in the
apartments that then quickly gave way to
thoughts of action. There must be a way
of helping those who had lost pretty much
everything for lack of insurance and are
now facing a tenuous future, she thought.
"I just decided it would be the right thing
to do to help people out because they are in
such a tough position," Brown says.
Nicole Nott was thinking the same thing. A
high school friend of Brown's, Nott's grand-
mother, 84-year-old Elizabeth Nott, also
called the now burned out building home
for 13 years—two years ago she moved into
the extended care unit at Delta Hospital.
"We used to spend a lot of time hanging out
there with our grandmothers," Nott says.
Now Brown and Nott, along with Nott's
mom Corinne McDonald, have spearhead-
ed a fundraiser for the burned out tenants.
The event is slated for Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. at
historic Kirkland House where there will
be silent auction items, a barbecue, 50/50
draw and music.
"We're hoping to raise some money to help
them (seniors) have a place to live because
most didn't have insurance," said Nott, who
also had two great aunts who previously lived
in the building. "And there are some who
don't have families to call for help."
McDonald says the residents are in a
financial squeeze since their rent of around
$300 was subsidized and now they are fac-
ing around double that amount or even
more until the building is repaired, some-
thing that may take upwards of eight to
nine months to complete.
On Monday (Aug. 9) Brown, Nott and her
mom took Eilzabeth Nott to see the burned ner Village, were on the I-5 heading to Bellingham Air-

letter OF THE WEEK
Another agenda at play?
No, Mr Johnson, (Tunnel
trouble, Aug. 6, 2010, South
Delta Leader). I’m sure you
are not less intelligent than
government officials, but you
may not have been informed of
the real agenda.
While we all wish those we
elect will have our best interests
at heart, there has simply been
too much evidence to the
contrary. Some years ago, West
Vancouver residents spent a lot
of time and money proving to
the Campbell government that
tunnelling under Eagleridge
Bluffs would save the important
wetland and endangered
species and meet the stated goal
of upgrading the Sea-to-Sky
Highway for the Olympics.
As it would turn out, the
actual agenda was real estate
development. Tsawwassen
residents did likewise when
told that upgrading Hydro lines
was needed to serve Vancouver
Island residents.
Whatever the real agenda
is there, it clearly has nothing
to do with the well-being of
Tsawwassen folks. Could it be
convenient for companies like
General Electric selling Run-of-
River ‘not so green’ power to the
U.S.?
(Greg) Hoover and (Olav)
Nass certainly came up with a
better alternative route for the
SFPR. It met the stated goal
of transporting goods from
Deltaport to destinations in
Canada and the U.S. without
threatening the most important
wetland in the province and
endangered species living
there.
Against Port Expansion
community group proved there
is simply not a business case for
expanding Deltaport anyway.
Shipping numbers have been
declining, Prince Rupert has
expanded port facilities and
the Panama Canal will be open
for larger ships within the next
two years.
So, what is the real agenda?
Something apparently much
more important to our
governments than anyone’s
commute through Massey
Tunnel; industrialisation of
farmland and lagg zone lands
for profit.
Several industrial properties
along the route of the SFPR have
been sold to the government for
prices ranging from twice the
assessed value to nine times
that value.
So, we can tell them, and we
have, that wetlands such as
Burns Bog store and filter 10 per
cent of the world’s water; that
preservation and restoration
of peat bogs can reduce global
greenhouse gas emissions by 10
per cent; that diesel particulate
has been shown to affect lung
development in children; that
there is a global food crisis right
now and we need to save every
inch of farmland we have.
Recent world news of flooded
farmland in the Punjab and
ruined crops in Russia has
underscored that point. We can
tell them, and we have, that
preserving habitat for migrating
birds is important for us all,
but is any of this even on the
agenda?
We need to pay a lot more
attention to whom we elect and
make sure the important things
in life are on the agenda.
Wilma Haig,
Ladner
But as the ballot seems a touch crowded for
a solitary seat, will there be decent traffic at the
polling stations?
Municipal elections are notorious for low voter
turn out. According to stats from the Corporation
of Delta, the last time Deltans went to the polls
on Nov.15, 2008 to elect a full slate of councillors
and mayor, a paltry 31 per cent or so marked a
ballot.
Breaking it down by region, the most apathetic
were from North Delta-South where just over 23
per cent turned out. North Delta-North wasn't
much better at a tad under 25 per cent.
The figures also showed voters in South Delta
were a little more excited about the democratic
process. But not by that much.
In Ladner 31 per cent came out, and
Tsawwassen residents were the most politically
charged as 34 per cent expressed their wishes.
What can we expect on Sept. 18 in terms of
voter turn out with a lone seat on council up for
grabs that will last just until November 2011?
With plenty of subjects on the line such as
revitalisation of Scott Road, Ladner Harbour
re-development and the future of the
Southlands, hopefully there will be enough
interest to avoid a dismal ballot return.
To help stir up some political excitement,
the South Delta Leader is hosting a candidates
debate Aug. 24 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the
Delta Town & Country Inn.
Can't make it there that night?
The Leader is encouraging readers to send in
their questions beforehand via e-mail to: editor@
southdeltaleader.com.
So, there really is no excuse for missing your
chance to play some role in the byelection.
But the most important is to get out and make
your choice known at the polls.

REPORTER
A Ladner fruit winery is wel-
coming farmers, vintners and
foodies from across B.C. for a
showcase of locally grown food
and drink.
On Aug. 29, the public is invit-
ed to Wellbrook Winery (4626 88
St.) to taste what about 35 chefs,
17 wineries and distilleries, and
a handful of breweries create in
B.C.'s backyard.
Call Feast of Fields, the event
supports Farm Folk/City Folk,
which uses the funds to encour-
age community-based sustain-
able food systems through public
education, advocacy, partner-
ships, and volunteerism. The
organization currently has a
number of farm, farm-city, city
and education projects on the go
(visit www.ffcf.bc.ca).
The event, which often sells out
its 700 tickets, has been hosted at
the University of B.C. the past
four years but this year organizers
decided it was time to try some-
where new.

McGreer, a graduate of South Delta

organize the event and is hoping the
public takes the Earthwise Society's
invitation to learn more about what
can work best on local soil. Plus, it's a
chance to have some fun.
"It's a community event, with fam-
ily friendly fundraising to celebrate
our home gardeners and urban farm-
ers and educate the community on
sustainable farming practices," says
McGreer, 21.
"It's pretty simple. We're trying to
send the message that it is much easi-
er than people think to grow their own

here are hobbies, obsessions, emo-
tional links and ways to spend plenty
of hard-earned money.
Ken Mack knows each of those well,
because when he wraps them all together
what usually ends up being produced is a
rolling piece of automotive art.
His latest is a show-stopping, customized
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle which will be on
display Aug.15 at the Quilt Walk and Classic
Car Show in Ladner Village.
While it is Chevelle in name and in sheet
metal profile, the classically lined coupe is
anything but vintage underneath.
It's what Mack—who runs a construction
firm during the day and spends his off hours
working on cars—calls a "restomod."

The term classifies a relatively new catego-
ry of automobile which stands for a restored
and modified car, essentially meaning not
much is left of the original vehicle that he
bought locally five years ago and spent the
last 24 months or so stripping down and
building back up again.
What he has left after all of that time, effort
and expense is a car, which given the right
conditions at an auto auction, could top the
$200,000 mark.
Potential sticker shock
"It could worth pretty much anything,
depending on the auction," Mack says as he
walks around the showroom-finished gleam
cast off from the Chevelle in his rented out
auto shop nestled in a nondescript barn on
a local farm.
But would he be willing to let it go?

When he got his hands on the Chevelle
it was languishing in the previous owner's

"I guess he (the former owner) ran out of
money and time," says Mack, who has sever-

brand newne Corvette."
And that's a good part of the allure of
going to great lengths to fashion a car like
this, Mack says.
It's the opportunity to create something
from next to nothing, bringing it from a for-
gotten or neglected collection of rust, rotten
wiring, dented fenders and worn out old rub-
ber to a shiny show car harbouring plenty of
performance promise under the hood.
Mack sold most of the car's original parts
he didn't need and kept the exterior shell.
"Well, anything is salvageable," Mack says.
"Just about anything, unless it's rusted out
totally. I look for how solid the car is first.
If there is a lot of rust, that would take too
much time and too much money."
The Chevelle was in pretty decent shape,
but with his design mind rolling, there was
plenty of work to do, making for long nights
in the shop.
But when the project was finished about
a month or so ago, Mack says he was well
pleased how it all came together, something
reinforced by the attention it drew from the
guru of modified car design—Chip Foose.
High praise from custom car guru
Foose, who runs Foose Designs and starred
in the TLC show Overhaulin', saw Mack's
car at a recent show in Abbotsford, where it
won best in show, and was so taken with the
Chevelle, which is painted in a special Mete-
orite Silver colour shared by Aston Martin
cars, that he signed his name on the pristine,
custom made engine cowling.
"He (Foose) said that if he was ever to build
one (Chevelle), he'd build one just like that,"
Mack says, beaming with pride.
And taking a look at Mack's creation it's
not hard to see why Foose was smitten.
For a start, the vast majority of the car has
been made by hand with custom fabricated
parts—from the delicate wing mirrors, to
warm coloured, cocoa brown leather seats
Mack designed one night after sketching
them out on an old piece of cardboard about
18 months ago.
It is also fitted with some of the latest elec-
tronic gadgetry.
The console has a DVD player and GPS
navigation system. And there's even and
electric-powered emergency brake.
All of the elegant, aluminum
switch gear found in the car's
interior was also handmade.
"We made the shifter, the gas
pedal, all of the gauge clusters.
The things we couldn't buy, we
made here," Mack says. "We can
make pretty much everything
here in our little shop."
Practically the only interior
part which has any connec-
tion with the original car is the
chrome-plated Fisher Coach- Mack says matter of factly.

SEASON OPENER—The Delta Ice Hawks will get their PIJHL regular season schedule off and running
Sept. 7 when they take on cross-town rivals North Delta Devils at Ladner Arena. The 'Hawks enter the
2010-11 season with new head coach Darryl Erickson who has promised to ice an offensive-minded team.

Off season changes
'Hawks new coach plans to ice an exciting brand of hockey
PHILIP RAPHAEL
EDITOR
T
he last couple of weeks
of summer holidays may
seem like the last thing
to inspire one to think about ice
hockey.
But Darryl Erickson has been
working on preparations for the
upcoming PIJHL season for the
better part of a month now.
That's when the 20-year vet-
eran of the Vancouver Police
Department was announced as
the new head coach of the South
Delta Ice Hawks club.
He replaces Jimmy Camazzolla,
who was in place last year.
Erickson, who in addition to
coaching over the past 23 years
at various levels including major
midget, has served as a player
scout in the BCHL and WHL.
And he is looking forward to
his first go at the Jr. B circuit and
instilling his own philosophy on
his players.
"I like to have a team that knows
how to play defence, but at the
same time is offensive-minded
and aggressive on the forecheck,"
he says.
While he will not know just how
capable his team will be on imple-
menting that plan from a talent
side of things—a bulk of the Ice
Hawks players will be attending
various camps of other clubs high-
er up the junior hockey food chain
who drew their interest—Erickson
says he plans to bring entertaining
hockey to South Delta fans.
"Right now, it's too hard to
assess what we will have," he
said. "If we have most of our core
players back I'm confident we will
have a team to compete for the
league championship."
Serving as a player scout, Erick-
son says he is familiar with the Ice
Hawks most recent season when
they advanced to the third round
of the post season, only to fall to
the Aldergrove Kodiaks in game
six of the league finals back in
March.
"They (Ice Hawks) seemed to
have had a hard regular season,
but managed to get on a roll in
time for the playoffs," Erickson
said.
He also knows of the club's
proud history of success in the
league and the desire of club
ownership to put a winning and
entertaining product on the ice.
Another key element of Erick-
son's coaching plan is to get his
players more involved in the
community, something he kick-
started for Ice Hawks players this
summer by having some of them
attend the Heroes Program at Bri-
tannia Secondary School in east
Vancouver.
AUGUST 13 2010
SOUTH DELTA LEADER FRIDAY august › 23
The program, which Erickson
has been involved with for a num-
ber of years, exposes inner city kids
to ice hockey and is modelled after
one put on by the famous Harlem
Globetrotters basketball team.
"I'd heard there were some Ice
Hawks players who were itching
to do something, so I got them
involved," Erickson said, adding
he is planning to set up similar
opportunities for his players to
reach out to the community in
South Delta.
Soon there will be plenty for
the Ice Hawks coaching staff
and players to do as the rapidly
approaching exhibition sched-
ule gets underway Aug. 18 when
South Delta hits the ice against
the Grandview Steelers.
The Ice Hawks' first home
date of the pre-season is Aug. 25
when the perennial powerhouse
Abbotsford Pilots pay a visit.
The next day Erickson's team
laces up their skates against Port
Moody at home, and then close
out the trial runs against the
Pilots Sept. 3 on the road at MSA
Arena.
The regular season schedule
then starts Sept. 7 on home ice at
the Ladner Leisure Centre. The
game will take on a local flavour
as the 'Hawks take on the North
Delta Devils.
