Judge denies lawsuit dismissal Middelaer family suing the Corporation of Delta over the spacing of speed bumps on the street where their daughter was killed by an impaired driver MARIA SPITALE-LEISK REPORTER

he Corporation of Delta will continue to face a lawsuit filed by the family of preschooler Alexa Middelaer who was killed by an impaired driver in Ladner four years ago. The civil suit, which includes multiple defendants, alleges the municipality was negligent in its spacing of speed bumps on 64th St. where the crash occurred. On Monday, a judge denied Delta's application for a summary trial where no witnesses are called. "The arguments that Delta's counsel raised at the court—they did not deal with every explanation of why the close placement of these two speed bumps was a causal factor in this crash," Middelaer family lawyer David Osborne told the Leader. Delta chief administrative officer George Harvey offered little comment on the case, saying the lawsuit is "in the courts at this time, as everybody knows, and we will go through the process and await the outcome." Alexa and her aunt Daphne Johanson

‘...our goal here is not financial, it is to ensure the best and highest standards of safety for our community.’ — Laurel Middelaer were standing by the side of the road, feeding a horse on May 17, 2008. Carol Berner, who was driving north on 64th St., ploughed into a nearby parked car and veered towards Alexa and Johanson. Fouryear-old Alexa succumbed to her injuries in hospital, while Johanson sustained serious injuries. Alexa's mother, Laurel Middelaer, who did not attend Monday's hearing, provided comment to the Leader on the legal proceedings. "I know that lawsuits always have a funny feel to them," said Middelaer. "But our goal here is not financial, it is to ensure the best and highest standards of safety for our community—and sometimes the only

way municipalities respond is if there is a legal consequence." According to Osborne, it could be 12 to 18 months before Delta has its day in court for the trial, "given the number of lawyers and parties involved." One of those parties is Johanson, a defendant in the case. The Insurance Corporation of BC, who joined the lawsuit as a third party, claim Berner—who was convicted of impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm—was not properly insured at the time of the accident. It's alleged that Johanson parked her vehicle dangerously close to the side of the road. "We expect ICBC to try to shift blame to other parties other than Ms. Berner," said Osborne. Following my investigation in this case she [Johanson] should be released from the litigation. I'm just satisfied there is no valid claim of negligence against her. I've made that offer months ago, but ICBC has refused to let her out." Meanwhile, Berner, is out on bail pending an appeal of her 30-month jail sentence. In November the B.C. Court of Appeal reserved decision in the case. reporter@southdeltaleader.com

An RCMP officer who was found guilty of obstructing justice in relation to a road accident that killed a young Tsawwassen motorcyclist will learn his punishment today (July 20). Cpl. Benjamin "Monty" Robinson is scheduled for sentencing in New Westminster Supreme Court. In October 2008 he was off duty and returning from a Halloween party when his Jeep collided with 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson's motorcycle at the intersection of 6th Ave. and Gilchrist Dr. After the crash, Robinson gave his driver's licence to a bystander and left the scene to walk his children home. When he returned, he told police he had downed two shots of vodka at home to calm his nerves. During his eight-day trial this past February, a Crown witness revealed that, at a 2007 Christmas party, Robinson had given partygoers tips on how to beat a drunk driving charge. The defense countered that Robinson had "severe" alcohol dependency at the time of the collision. Hutchinson's mother Judith spoke to the media after the guilty verdict was handed down in March, saying "this does not bring my son back, but there is definitely a sense of satisfaction just hearing that very strongly worded word 'guilty'". At the time Judith also added that she would like to see Robinson stripped of his RCMP badge. Visit southdeltaleader.com on Friday morning for up to the minute reports on the sentencing.

That was the optimistic view Tsawwassen's Nicola Roantree had when she entered the South Delta Leader's Shop & Win Contest and became the June winner of an $800 shopping spree. Roantree said she chose to divide her Nicola Roantree winnings between Save-On-Foods and the Celtic Treasure Chest, which is appropriate since she's originally from England and her husband Peter is from Ireland, whose name she entered in the contest.

Cause of fatal apartment fire still under investigation Some displaced Tsawwassen Terrace residents have been moved to the Coast Tsawwassen Inn MARIA SPITAELLEISK REPORTER

Some of the 60 residents displaced by Friday’s fatal blaze at the Tsawwassen Terrace apar tment building have moved to temporary accommodations at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. Century Group owns both properties and has offered to find rooms at the hotel for tenants of Tsawwassen Terrace. Michel Latendresse, deputy chief in charge of Delta Fire’s emergency management program, recounted the disoriented residents’ arrival at the South Delta Recreation Centre just after 2 a.m. last Friday morning (July 13). “The day of the event we opened a reception centre where people could collect themselves and be registered and recorded,” he explained. Latendresse noted that Tsawwassen Ter-

ra c e — a t w o - s t o re y, 40-unit complex—is a mixed housing building occupied by seniors, families and people with disabilities. In the three days following the fire, victims were offered food, shelter and clothing resources through Delta Emergency Social Services. “Those residents are being taken care of from this point on by Century Group,” said Latendresse. Meanwhile, the blaze—which killed one occupant of the building—is still under investigation, said Delta Po l i c e D e p a r t m e n t spokesperson Sgt. Cal Traversy. “The autopsy has not been completed yet. We are still dealing with next of kin,” added Traversy. Delta Police Department’s criminal investigation branch is still on the cordoned-off scene at 16th Ave. and 55th St. collecting evidence and working with Delta Fire to determine the cause

Ken Sim, deputy chief of operations, Delta Fire and Emergency Services, said crews responding to the two-alarm blaze described an intense fire coming out of one suite which spread to the adjoining units on

either side and to four suites above. In total, 13 suites were affected by fire or water damage. “It was a good save because it was a very hot, intense fire when crews responded,” Sim said.

Mall raising funds for apartment fire victims Shopping bags on sale at Tswassen Town Centre Mall The Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall is helping carry part of the financial burden of those residents forced to leave their homes due to a fire by helping customers carry their shopping.

ability to thrust budding musicians into the online spotlight. "Everyone can be their own broadcast media company," he says an enthusiastically. "Musicians have the ability to control everything from creation right down to distribution. You can be your own record company." McIlroy needed an instrument to start more arts and culture opportunities in Delta. So, he joined the Tsawwsassen Business Association, and is now its president. An image of a smart phone and the phrase "TBA is connected" on the association's visually-appealing, user-friendly homepage signifies he is at the helm. As expected, there is also a link to Arts and Culture Initiatives in the community. Going into his sophomore year as the man in charge of musical acts for the annual Tsawwassen Sun Festival, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, McIlroy is jazzed about music being incorporated throughout the August long weekend event. Traditionally, music was only showcased on a main stage on the last day of the festival. That is until McIlroy was given the artistic director reins. The Tsawwassen Arts Centre, Winskill Park and Earthwise Garden are among seven venues that will feature live performances over the four days. He's crafted an eclectic musical lineup teaming with homegrown talent, and aimed at pleasing all—teenagers, young adults, families and seniors. McIlroy has also arranged what he calls a "special anniversary gift concert" for the Sunday night: The Left, a Vancouver recording act inspired by music greats like the Beatles and Coldplay. There will be a Mentor of the Arts award presented on that evening. Legendary local blues man Jerry Doucette is a past recipient. "It's a real contributor to the arts community," says McIlroy, of those who receive the honour. It would appear McIlroy himself is deserving of such recognition.

The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the bodies innate healing capability and to treat the root cause of health conditions.

Tsawwassen Sun Festival's artistic director stokes the cultural fires porting a bright yellow golf shirt, Dave McIlroy is a walking advertisement for the Tsawwassen Sun Festival. His duds also compliment the upbeat disposition of the festival's artistic director. A lifelong musician, McIlroy recalls his seventh grade North Burnaby garage band jamming to grand funk, grinning through that wave of nostalgia. Then there was some touring after Maria Spitale Leisk high school with another band, until McIlroy arrived at his mid-twenties and found another love, his future wife, who inspired him to find a better-paying vocation that would support a family. Telecommunications turned out to be McIlroy's other calling. "I recognized in '96 that the Internet was going to change everything," says McIlroy, who is interrupted by his BlackBerry incessantly buzzing at his side. In the early days of the information superhighway he pondered how live events could be broadcast to mobile phone users. Today he can show us exactly how. McIlroy developed a software program called mediaManager, which is used mainly by professional sports clients who profit through advertising revenue from broadcasting their live events online. Of course, McIlroy still moonlights as a musician. The drummer for Delta88—a well-known R&B band around town— talks about harmonious friendships. Naturally, his three children can also carry a tune. His youngest son Tyson is the principal guitarist for The Simpson Brothers—founded by Tsawwassen twins Rob and Rich Simpson. The alternative band recently won first place and a cool $10,000 in Shore Radio 104's Best of BC contest. McIlroy is amazed at the Internet's

Jack’s TV and Harris Nursery close their doors The recession and retirement are behind the closure of Tsawwassen's long-standing businesses. MARIA SPITALE-LEISK REPORTER

Two long-standing, family-run Tsawwassen businesses on 12th Ave.–Jack’s TV & Stereo and Harris Nursery & Florist—have closed. Almost half a century ago, in 1965, Jack Learmont opened a full service TV and electronics store in Tsawwassen. His son Bill, who took over the business 10 years later, watched TVs evolve from transistor and tube to LED and LCD. Bill rode the new wave of TV technology—and the business continued to hold its own even when the big box electronics stores arrived. Jack’s TV, which took in $3.5 million in revenue in 2008, had the distinction of being one of the top 10 independent TV retailers in Canada, said Bill. But sales have slowly dwindled

in the last four years to just over $1 million annually. Bill blames the recession and better quality TVs. “We shut down our service department about five years ago. [Electronics] didn’t break as often,” he said. But Jack’s TV would continue to include home delivery and setup for its clients, not wanting to break from a tradition of offering personable customer service. Bill figures it’s the last standing independent electronics store in the South Delta area. He will continue to assist his customers, some of whom are third generation, with any service issues or questions about electronics purchased at the store. They can reach him through the Jack’s TV website (jackstv.ca), which Bill said he will continue to monitor. “I want to thank [my custom-

Vernette and Gerry Harris started out with a lowly bedding plant stand in front of their house in the 1960s, eventually growing the enterprise into two successful South Delta nurseries. The couple is now retiring, which is the reason behind the closure of the 12th Ave. store, leaving the remaining Ladner location to be overseen by the couple’s son, Scott Harris. “It’s just fun, very gratifying,” said Scott. “People are happy to be there—it’s a pleasure time business. We’ve been lucky with loyal customers at this [Tsawwassen] location.” reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Business futures Carol Miles brings a little Yaletown to Ladner with well-appointed women's shoe store It took a trip to South Africa for Carol Miles to know where her business future was going. While abroad earlier this year, she saw a "divine pair of shoes" and thought to herself that a shoe store should bring them in to Canada. That got her thinking about what she felt Ladner needed in the way of retail shopping experiences. And at the end of May she opened the South Delta Heels Company which Miles describes as a boutique that brings a little bit of Downtown Vancouver's Yaletown to Ladner Village. "I want to be able to offer women good, comfortable, attractive shoes," she says as she looks around her wellappointed store with comfy chairs, couch and a wall adorned with an array of shoes. "I wanted to make it a nice place to

come for people to enjoy the artwork and enjoy the experience," she says, adding the location two doors down from Bombay Joe's on Bridge St. has become quite a gathering place for shoppers. With summer shoes on display— soon to be followed by fall and winter lines—Miles suggested a recipe perfect to serve on the patio. She says her strawberry spinach salad is one of her most popular recipes, and right now timely, too. "It's great for this time of year because strawberries are in season," she says. "But even if they aren't mangoes work very well." And instead of candied almonds, as the recipe below states, candied pecans are another alternative." —Philip Raphael

Strawberry spinach salad INGREDIENTS 1 lb. spinach, fresh 1 pint strawberries, fresh, hulled and halved 1 cup slivered almonds ¼ cup sugar (to make candied almonds, slight roast them in a non-stick pan and when toasted, add 1/4 cup sugar and coat. Cool.) DIRECTIONS Combine spinach, strawberries

Salad dressing ¼ cup sugar 2 tbps. sesame seeds 1 tbps. poppy seeds 1 onion, minced ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce ¼ tbps. paprika ½ cup vegetable oil ¼ cup vinegar (you can use regular white, cider or wine vinegar) almonds in a bowl. Drizzle salad dressing over top when served.

I was biking along the dyke north of Beach Grove in Tsawwassen on July 6 when I came across two consultants who had been conducting biological surveys in Boundary Bay for Port Metro Vancouver. They were returning to their car parked on the dyke and when asked, they indicated that they were doing studies connected with the Port’s Terminal 2 expansion on Roberts Bank. So, why out in Boundary Bay? They said they were obtaining baseline data for birds in the area, including Western Sandpipers. This seemed strange. Asking around I have uncovered a much more sinister explanation. What the Port’s survey work on Boundary Bay may be trying to “prove” is that the feeding area and biofilm on Roberts Bank, that is so important to the survival of millions of birds especially Western Sandpipers, is not unique and exists elsewhere in the area.

My 30 years in the motion picture exhibition business tells me I was experiencing professionalism at its very best.

As a senior in his eighties, classic rock is not the music I grew up with, but he (Barton) made it work for me. He not only had his audiThus, the Port could argue the destruction of shorebird habitat by port expansion on Roberts Bank will not impact the birds because they will have other areas to feed. This argument, if it were to be made, is self-serving and scientifically spurious. We know that today Roberts Bank is a critical link on the Pacific Flyway and used by millions of shorebirds during their migration to the Arctic breeding grounds every year. Previous studies have shown that if a Western Sandpiper stop-over site is compromised, which could well be the case if Terminal 2 were to go ahead on Roberts Bank, then the entire species would suffer a population-level decline. Birds that could no longer use the site for fueling their longdistance migration would either not make it to the breeding grounds or would not be in good enough condition to breed once they got there. We need to “listen” to what the birds themselves are telling us. Almost every Western Sandpiper in the world uses Roberts Bank because it offers a uniquely rich habitat and far fewer

are found in either Boundary Bay or on Sturgeon Bank. This species has already suffered declines and we host one of a very few stopover and feeding sites in its migration chain. Were our “link” to be compromised then the entire species would be put in jeopardy. It is a risk not worth taking. Port Metro Vancouver must be stopped from any further port expansion on Roberts Bank.

EDITORIAL

School district idea on target The Delta School District looks like it's on track to knock its latest revenue-generating idea out of the park—and at the same time meet a community need. Last week, the district pitched its plan to see if a pair of covered, artificial turf fields— located on school property—would garner public support. And judging by some of the local sports groups the South Delta Leader contacted for a story on the subject the answer is yes. Many of those sports organizations that already keep school facilities busy after hours renting gym space like the idea of being able to practise outdoors on artificial turf under a roof. It would get the field sports groups— many of them junior teams in soccer and baseball—away from the hard bounce of the gym floor and into more conducive surroundings, albeit on a synthetic pitch. School district officials say the proposal is for two turf fields—one in South Delta, and the other in North Delta. And the best part of the deal is it would not use education dollars to build and run—corporate sponsorship would help foot the bill. And, presumably, when the construction and maintenance and running costs are paid for, the rental from local sports teams would serve as a much-needed revenue stream for Delta schools. Now that's creative thinking—something the Delta School District has been noted for over the years when education funding has been squeezed. Delta has been able to stave off sweeping cutbacks—except for the closure of two elementary schools in South Delta a few years ago due to declining enrolment—thanks to endeavours such as its international student program. And it has attracted students from outside the district, and retained some local ones, by offering a wide array of school academies that focus on various arts, education, and sports. If the plan comes to fruition it will likely be a win-win situation with sports groups having a comfortable place to play, and the school district gaining revenue to offer more in the classrooms.

Curious case of the missing tombstone has South Delta ties Mission RCMP solve mystery after contacting family of longtime Ladner resident MISSION RECORD

Mission RCMP have discovered the mystery behind a tombstone that was found outside Cedarwood Manor in May. The grave marker was inscribed with the name Fat Look Chan, but police didn't know where it came from or where the next of kin lived. Normally the RCMP would take the item and wait for somebody to make a claim, but because of the sensitive nature of the item, police investigated to see whether it had been stolen from a graveyard. Const. Cody Jones soon learned

a d v e r t i s i n g

the tombstone didn't belong to any cemetery in Mission, or anywhere even closeby. Eventually, Jones contacted the Chans, who were surprised to hear the news. "Initially we had assumed that it was the headstone that was in Boundary Bay cemetery in Tsawwassen, and we obviously assumed the worst, that it was vandalism," said Tom Chan, Fat Look's son who now lives in Edmonton. But it didn't seem to make sense that someone would steal the headstone and drop it off 90 kilometres away. When Chan called the cemetery,

f e a t u r e

however, the tombstone was still in place, which made the whole affair even more confusing. As it turns out, when Chan's father passed away in the seventies, the original tombstone was engraved and placed in the cemetery. It was replaced in 1993 when his mother was interred beside her husband, essentially creating a duplicate. "So we assumed that the company that replaced the headstone and removed the original would've just disposed of it," said Chan, but clearly that didn't happen. How it made its way to Mission is still a mystery, but Chan says

Chan said his father was a Chinese immigrant to Ladner, where he became a well-known farmer in what was then a small, tightknit rural community.

Feds hint at aid for costly sewage upgrades Environment minister Kent unveils new regulations but offers no cash yet BLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver leaders say they're optimistic Ottawa will contribute one third of the $1.4-billion cost of replacing its Lions Gate and Iona sewage treatment plants and ease some of the pain for home owners who face sharply higher utility bills. Federal environment minister Peter Kent was in Delta Wednesday to announce new federal effluent regulations that mandate sewage system upgrades to a minimum of secondary treatment. He made no explicit fund-

a d v e r t i s i n g

ing promises but said the federal government intends to roll out a new long-term infrastructure grant program starting in 2014, after the federal deficit is eliminated. Metro board chair Greg Moore said he's hopeful one third of the upgrade cost here will be covered by the federal government and be matched by the province. The new rules had been widely expected and Metro Vancouver is already designing the replacement of its Lions Gate plant, which must be complete by 2020. The deadline for Iona's replacement is 2030 but Metro

f e a t u r e

aims to replace it several years sooner if senior governments share the costs. If f e d e ra l g ra n t m o n e y doesn't materialize, Metro Vancouver residents could see their sewage bills more than triple, and households in Vancouver and the North Shore that are directly served by Iona and Lions Gate may see their annual bills rise by as much as $1,000. "That's the worst-case scenario," Moore said. "It is not reasonable to expect local taxpayers to carry the entire burden." Some cities within Metro are also lobbying to rejig the

I understand that FortisBC offers a $300 rebate for EnerChoice gas fireplaces. What does EnerChoice mean and how do I qualify?

EnerChoice products are established by using the testing program from EnerGuide, a Government of Canada initiative that rates the energy consumption of household appliances. These fireplaces carry minimum EnerGuide efficiency ratings of 62.4% (fireplaces), 61% (inserts), and 66% (stoves). The efficiency tells the Home Owners how much heat will return into their home. For example, an insert with 70% efficiency using 30,000 BTU would provide an expected 21,000 BTU. Another example would be a 20,000 BTU fireplace x 67% efficiency = 13,400 BTU.

formula that currently apportions much of sewage capital costs on the benefitting areas. The idea would be to spread more of the cost across all of the regional district, making residents in non-benefitting areas like Surrey and the TriCities chip in to reduce the impact in Vancouver and the North Shore. Surrey councillors have vowed to fight such a change, arguing their residents previously paid the bulk of the costs of the 1996 upgrade of the Annacis Island treatment plant under the existing formula.

That's the choice of Roland Smith, chef and owner of T s aw wa s s e n ' s Illuminate Restorante (illuminaterestorante. com) who has added the bistecca Fiorentina to his 56th Street establishment's seasonal menu.

is to slice the meat and serve it family-style with a salad in the middle of the table as the meat dish, or even as an appetizer. But we serve it here as a 500 gram portion of Angus T-bone, and we do it individual style." While the meal speaks to a rustic nature, Smith says the plate served at his restaurant uses, "exquisite ingredients, fresh arugula (from Boundary Bay's Earthwise Garden), and catalina beans from the region. The steak is one of 15 new dishes on the summer menu, and a host of new beers that go well with the ambience of the outdoor patio. Smith says a good beer pairing is the Innis & Gunn Scottish lager.

Developers including work-live spaces in new projects

Achieving the work-life balance Living in the Lower Mainland can sometimes mean a long commute between work and home. Many developers are making this easier on homeowners by incorporating worklive spaces in their new homes. A work-live space is usually a small space in a home with room for a desk and often shelving and lighting. It can be a separate room, or more often, a designated nook off of the living area. Treegroup’s Headwaters takes it one step further, offering a Business Centre that includes a conference room, Internet lounge and private offices. The homes include an area that Treegroup calls a Personal Hub, with a built-in

desk and recessed lighting. Another development that offers work-live spaces is Cressey’s MTwo, which include workstations in nearly every floorplan. Their Meccanica development will also include a space for working at home. Bluetree Homes’ developments at Kanaka Creek and Bishop Creek are also in the thick of the work-live trend with their bonus room in every floorplan that is perfect for an office. When your commute can be measured in seconds rather than minutes, you’ll have more time to enjoy the sunny day and get more done when you’re not worried about fighting traffic.

A stress-free buying experience

Coming home to Morningstar’s Kingston by Kerry Vital

When you’re looking for a home fit for royalty, look no further than Morningstar Homes’ Kingston on Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain. “This is one of the most pictureperfect projects,” says Morningstar Vice-President of Sales and Marketing Deborah Calahan. “Coquitlam has not had homes of this grandeur before.” The homes opened for sale on July 7, and already over 25 per cent of them have sold. With just 26 single-family homes in the project, they are already proving very popular, and Calahan says people don’t want to miss out. “There are no other homes like it,” she says. “These are the last of the big lots on Burke Mountain.” Morningstar prides itself on its array of options that they give home buyers, and nowhere is this more evident than at Kingston. With two different floorplans (Emerald and Sapphire), both over 4,300 square feet, the homes at Kingston are truly spacious. With an open-concept layout and tons of amazing features, there is no shortage of things to fall in love with as you tour the two show homes. You can start with the huge lots, ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet. All of them have plenty of usable backyard space for playing or entertaining, and back onto a protected green creek space. The four-bedroom homes include windows from floor to the 19-foot ceiling in the great room on the main floor, letting the light pour in no matter what Mother Nature is doing outside. Beside the great room, the kitchen is a chef ’s dream, with a huge granite island and the option to include a spice or butler’s kitchen. The Emerald plan includes French doors out to the backyard, which Calahan says have been a particularly popular feature. The Sapphire plan’s door opens from the side of the kitchen, continuing Morningstar’s theme of offering choices for homeowners. The kitchen and dining area includes chic hardwood flooring, while the rest is carpeted, with the option to have hardwood throughout the living areas. “We added more personal choices,” Calahan says. “That’s not typical of a volume builder.” The master suite is seriously stunning, with vaulted ceilings and private Juliet balconies perfect for

The ensuite bathroom is fit for a spa, with a huge soaker tub and separate glass-framed shower, and a sparkling chandelier. “There’s a real resort feel in here,” says Calahan. “They really nailed it.” On the bottom floor, Morningstar again offers you options. The basement comes unfinished, but you are also able to make it into a legal suite or a deluxe finished basement. In every case, you are able to walk out directly into your backyard, making the basement a perfect place for a media room, play area or, in the case of the Sapphire show home, an amazing wine cellar. “We aim to make the home-buying experience smooth and stress-free,” Calahan says. “We’ve put together enough choices to make it your own while keeping it easy.” Homes start at $1.1 million.

Young Delta athletes given official send off Elected officials and former Olympian wish group the best at BC Summer Games in Surrey PHILIP RAPHAEL

Tsawwassen's Mark Pearson, a member of Canada's Olympic field hockey team member and BC Summer Games participant in 2000, said the event reminded him of the send-off given to him and his teammates prior to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. "It was funny, I was going through my bedroom the other day cleaning things out

sonal best." Jackson added that Deltans, "couldn't be more proud of you." Independent MLA for Delta-South, Vicki Huntington, told the athletes they "should be proud of the discipline you have shown in making yourselves available to your coaches, and making yourselves the expert sportsmen and women you have become," she said.

EDITOR

Delta's top young athletes won't have go very far to take part in the BC Summer Games hosted in Surrey July 19-22. And many of the 110 representing this region made another short trip to Delta Municipal Hall Tuesday night (July 17) to get an official send off from elected representatives and sports organization officials. "We are truly blessed to have such great talent in so many sports," said Mayor Lois Jackson in her address to the group gathered in the municipal hall foyer. Jackson reminded the athletes of the games' motto "unleash your potential." "I know that each one of you has tremendous potential," she said, "and that every one of you will dream big, challenge yourselves, and strive to achieve your very per-

because my mom wanted me out of the bedroom, and I found a box that had old pictures, the uniform. It was stuff that

I'd saved because at the time the 2000 BC Summer Games was the biggest thing for me, it was a huge highlight."

Pearson told the group to savour the moment, "Think about what it means, and try and learn as much as you

can, and hopefully it will inspire you to continue with your sport, and you never know where you'll end up."
