Roberts Bank eyed for pipeline Alberta Premier Rachel Notley suggests Delta as alternative terminus for contentious Kinder Morgan proposal BY

SANDOR GYARMATI

sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

Delta might be a better option for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Alberta’s new premier, Rachel Notley, dropped that bombshell Wednesday at a conference in New York, offering a suggestion that surely won’t go over well

with many in South Delta that are already lobbying against proposed container terminal expansion at Roberts Bank. The first-term New Democrat premier already indicated support for Kinder Morgan’s highly contentious $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning plan, which has drawn heated opposition from such cities as Burnaby and Vancouver as well

This week the Alberta If approved by the premier said the project National Energy Board, might have to go to a difKinder Morgan would ferent port, saying the pipenearly triple the capacline has support of the vast ity of its Trans Mountain majority of communities pipeline from Alberta to an existing facility in MLA Vicki through which it runs. Although Kinder Morgan Burnaby, a plan that has Huntington is still sticking to its proopponents warning about posed Burnaby route, Notley oil spills and increased tanker

suggested it might be time to get creative and re-route the pipeline further south, noting South Delta is one possibility. Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington was quick to respond, saying it’s unfortunate the Alberta premier would make such an illconsidered statement. See PIPELINE page 3

Police look to contract out dispatch services Concerns expressed over potential drop in service quality BY

The Delta police are considering contracting out dispatch services and that has some within the department concerned. In 2013, E-Comm, the emergency communications centre for much of the province, submitted a proposal to take over dispatch services for Delta. Currently, when someone in Delta calls 911 the call is initially answered by E-Comm. If police services are needed, the call is then transferred to local dispatchers, based out of Delta police headquarters in Ladner, who then speak to the caller and relay information to officers.

“If you’re doing a pancake breakfast, or the fundraising things that we involved ourselves in, you can’t do it with four or five people.”

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

The Kiwanis Club of Tsawwassen-Ladner is dissolving. This year marked the local service club’s 50th anniversary. “It’s rather unfortunate that we cannot continue because we’ve been a strong support in the community for all that time,” said Karel Ley, a member for about a decade. She said the club hasn’t been able to get new volunteers to join. “If you’re doing a pancake breakfast, or the fundraising things that we involved ourselves in, you can’t do it with four or five people.” The club made a presentation Wednesday to the 828 Hurricane Squadron, a local air cadet group, at the South Delta Recreation Centre. Kiwanis founded the squadron over 40 years ago. Colin Haskins told cadets the squadron is the most rewarding project the club has ever been involved in. He said funds remaining

PIPELINE from page 1 “Delta’s foreshore is a completely inappropriate location for the Kinder Morgan terminus, and would put the most valuable ecological habitat in Canada at risk. The Fraser River delta is an internationally significant area for millions of salmon and shorebirds, and I am firmly opposed to any such suggestion,” Huntington said. “Kinder Morgan’s own documents state that Delta and other terminus alternatives ‘would result in sig-

nificantly greater cost, larger footprint and additional environmental effects.’ I hope the premier’s future statements will reconsider Delta and the Fraser River estuary as non-negotiable with respect to Kinder Morgan’s proposal, as well as any future oil export proposal.” Against Port Expansion’s Roger Emsley also said the environmentally sensitive area is simply the wrong location. Noting the 2012 accident

when a large bulk carrier docking at Westshore Terminals destroyed a coal conveyor system, spilling a large amount of coal into Georgia Strait, Emsley said it appears something might be going on behind the scenes for the Alberta premier to bring up the idea. “Let’s assume for a moment that the port (of Metro Vancouver) builds the pod, then the man-made island, and once they’ve got that they’d say, ‘Well, OK, we’re going to make it an oil terminal, perhaps with some storage out there too.’”

Although there’s been no indication from Port Metro Vancouver that Roberts Bank is being considered for an oil export facility, the Corporation of Delta started raising red flags about that possibility a couple of years ago. CAO George Harvie and Mayor Lois Jackson went on fact finding trip to Norway to visit liquid bulk products handling and shipping facilities as part of a delegation that included port officials, petroleum companies and others. They joined the tour due to concern about development of

in the club’s account will be donated to the squadron in trust to continue the John Browning Memorial Bursary. Deputy commanding officer of the squadron Aeron Jantzen said that Kiwanis starting the local air cadet group “has done a world of good for this community.” Lynn Rycroft, a Kiwanis member for about 45 years, said the club couldn’t find people of the younger generation to join. “It’s unfortunate. It’s a very unfortunate thing,” he said. Rycroft noted the club contributed thousands of dollars to various organizations in the community annually. a bulk liquid handling facility at Roberts Bank. During a National Energy Board public comment period on the Kinder Morgan proposal, a group calling itself Concerned Professional Engineers filed its opinion that Roberts Bank is better suited as a shipping point for Alberta diluted bitumen. Kinder Morgan recently released a consultant’s report that went over the benefits of an expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, including eliminating the need to ship oil by rail in Western Canada.

DISPATCH from page 1

Boutique Blanche Intimates

asked the department to review E-Comm’s proposal and the current system and come back with a recommendation. That review was put on hold last year after former chief Jim Cessford announced his retirement, said Chief Neil Dubord, who added that picking up the review was one of his duties when he took over the post this summer. The chief said senior department staff reviewed the system and have recommended contracting out the service to E-Comm. That recommendation was discussed at a closed door meeting of the Delta police board earlier this month. Dubord said because the meeting was closed to the public he cannot comment on what was discussed, however the report and recommendation are now going to Delta council at an in-camera meeting Monday. Dubord stressed that no current dispatch jobs will be lost if the service is contracted out to E-Comm, which was a requirement of any potential change, he said. However, dispatch staff at the department are concerned about the fallout from the move, saying it doesn’t make sense. Two dispatchers, who

asked to remain anonymous, said there are concerns the quality of service Deltans have come to expect from the department will not be maintained. “The service the Delta communications section provides to the community and its members is that of a higher standard than anywhere in the Lower Mainland,” one said, adding the department has the fastest call answer time for 911 calls in the region. “Anyone who has had to dial 911 in any sort of emergency knows just how long seconds can feel and how quickly a situation can change in seconds.” They raised concerns over the fact all of E-Comm’s call taking and dispatch services are based out of the same office in Vancouver. “In a regionalized call centre we will be the little fish in a big pond and our policies, mandates and staffing levels will be diminished to accommodate the busier agencies,” one said, adding that designated Delta staff could easily be moved to cover other areas due to staffing shortages. The local dispatchers all live in Delta, they said, and know the area and its landmarks well, while call-

takers at E-Comm cover multiple jurisdictions and may have no area knowledge, which can create a time delay in getting help to someone in need. They said they don’t disagree with moving to a regional dispatch service at some point, but they would like to see a second building in place first and adequate staffing levels. Dubord said moving to the regional system allows the Delta service to scale up or down easily based on the volume of calls. He said management looked at several different criteria when considering moving the service, including no loss of jobs in Delta and that any kind of partnership would have to meet community expectations. “We have a very strong set of values,” he said, adding the department’s mandate remains at the top of the list. “No call too small is still a priority,” he said. Jackson said the goal is to make sure the department has the best and most efficient service possible, adding she’s not suggesting the current system is flawed and council and the police board are studying both systems. “It has to pass council muster,” she said. “We’re not sure what’s going to happen.”

Police have converted local cells into exhibit storage BY

JESSICA KERR

jkerr@delta-optimist.com

Delta police’s move to house suspects in Surrey jail cells has become a permanent situation. In 2012, the department began negotiations with Surrey RCMP to have suspects apprehended in Delta that are being held in custody overnight or longer transferred to Surrey jail cells. After coming to an agreement, the department made the transition in October 2013. Delta police initially made the move because the cell block at the headquarters in Ladner was in need of renovations. The area

where the cells were located has now been converted into exhibit storage. “The cost of upgrades required to make the decommissioned cell block space safe as exhibits storage was less than for the upgrades that would have been required to ensure prisoners were housed according to provincial standards and recommendations,” said A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow. She added the agreement with Surrey RCMP is working well and is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the department is providing the best service possible. In 2013, CUPE Local 454, which represents

civilian staff at the police department, raised concerns over the change, stating it will mean officers will be tied up transporting prisoners to the Surrey RCMP headquarters. At the time, Swallow said that while an officer who arrests someone in South Delta has to drive further to book them into police custody, the driving time has remained unchanged for officers in North Delta. “There does not appear to be any significant increase in the amount of time an officer devotes to a call when the suspect must be transported to be held in Surrey,” Swallow said.

Earthwise program shows therapeutic powers of gardening

The Earthwise Society will be hosting a community information session about its new Therapeutic Horticulture Community Program during Mental Health Awareness Week. The innovative program recognizes that mental illness and substance abuse are diseases that can stress families to the breaking point. The program address-

es the unique needs of family caregivers by providing opportunities for them to experience the restorative power of being connected to others and to the natural world around them. Research has increasingly confirmed that contact with nature promotes healing and well-being. The Earthwise program is about community engagement,

allowing impacted family members to interact with a diverse and supportive community, participating in tasks and learning opportunities that allow creative self-expression, encourage exercise and healthy eating, build skills, inspire hope and focus on achievable outcomes. “This is a year-round program that offers engage-

ment in farm and garden activities throughout our long growing season, and also extends into the offseason with continued growing and seed-starting in our hoop-houses,” says Thomas Dean, horticulture programs coordinator at Earthwise. Community agencies or individuals interested in learning more about

this program are invited to a community information session, hosted in partnership with Canadian Mental Health Delta, on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 9 a.m. at the Earthwise Society Garden and Farm. A light breakfast will be served. The session will outline the Earthwise program and the dramatic, evidencebased restorative benefits of

engaging in healthful activities in nature. The guest speaker will be Alyssa Dawn Hall, a registered horticultural therapist. For more information on the program or to register for the information session, call Earthwise at 604-9469828 or e-mail info@earthwisesociety.bc.ca. Earthwise is located at 6400-3rd Ave.

VICKI HUNTINGTON, MLA DELTA SOUTH REPORT DEAR CONSTITUENTS,

CONSTITUENCY OFFICE

4805 Delta Street, Delta, BC, V4K 2T7 Phone: 604.940.7924 vickihuntington.ca facebook.com/Vicki.J.Huntington @vickihuntington

It has been a busy year, and with the legislature resuming for a fall sitting, it seems a good time to share some recent highlights. This is a new format for the traditional mail out and I hope you find it convenient. It is a much more cost-efficient way to inform residents about my work representing Delta South, and has the added benefit of supporting our wonderful community newspaper. Delta is facing many pressures that threaten our quality of life. They range from extensive residential and commercial development to numerous industrial developments along the Fraser River; the tunnel replacement project; the radio towers in Point Roberts; and Terminal 2 at Deltaport. And while I strongly support our business community and the prosperity it brings to Delta, it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect the unique agricultural and ecological character of our region.

Delta is Metro’s food basket. It is also a critical part of the Pacific Migratory Bird Flyway. Without Delta’s agricultural lands and the marshes, eel grass beds and mudflats of the Fraser Estuary, the migration of millions of birds and salmon would come to an end. There is no replacement for the habitat offered by Roberts Bank and Boundary Bay. Our democracy is suffering from a continuing failure to listen to the people; a willingness to cater to industrial influence; a refusal to reform legislative committees and changes to the administration of justice. I have addressed this many times in the legislature. It is an honour representing Delta South and I remain committed to delivering a strong, independent voice that speaks to democratic traditions, that listens to your concerns and that speaks up for your interests.

ROBERTS BANK TERMINAL 2 PROPOSAL The container port expansion planned for Deltaport has many in the community concerned. It would be built in the most important migratory bird habitat in North America. The T2 project puts not only the Roberts Bank Wildlife Management Area at risk, but also Delta’s farmland. The Port wants 2,300 acres by 2025 and industrial developers have already optioned agricultural land.

The environmental assessment is underway and we recently submitted comments highlighting shortcomings in the Port’s Environmental Impact Statement, many of which the Port is now required to address. The province had no comment, even though Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, and the US Environmental Protection Agency all found deficiencies in the statement. We will continue to monitor this critical assessment.

DELTA HOSPITAL Our hospital will get four shortstay surgical beds, a pre-admission clinic, a cast clinic and full funding for three operating rooms. I was so pleased to support the Friends of Delta Hospital and our surgeons and used every opportunity to ask the Minister of Health to meet with Delta’s doctors. I rose in Question

Period, wrote letters, spoke to him privately and tabled a petition of over 10,000 signatures in the House. Congratulations to everyone who demanded the best for our beloved little hospital!

Vicki is Vice-Chair of the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food

PROTECTING AGRICULTURAL LAND Last year, the government split the ALR into two zones, making it easier to develop farmland in Zone 2 for non-farming purposes. Despite significant opposition, including from the farming community, nothing stopped the changes. In response, I accepted the role of Vice-Chair of the Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food. We are holding hearings throughout

B.C. and will table a report to the legislature this fall. Farming is part of Delta’s economic and cultural way of life. It is hard enough protecting farmland without the government undermining the ALR. To learn more about the Committee, or to make a written submission, please visit www.bcagcom.ca.

Corporation of Delta recognized for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The Corporation of Delta has received an award for its environmental efforts from the Green Communities Committee, a joint program between the provincial government and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Branded as a green community, Delta has been

given Level 3 recognition for Achievement in Carbon Neutrality, the third time the municipality has been given that distinction. This acknowledgment highlights Delta’s commitment to work with the province and UBCM to take action on climate change by reducing green-

house gas emissions. “We are very proud of the work that has been done to direct us towards this recognition,” said Mayor Lois Jackson. “Delta has been invested in developing ourselves as an environmentally-conscious community and a leader in green initiatives.”

One-zone bus fares start Monday

TransLink is reminding customers that one-zone bus fares start next Monday. Customers will only need to pay for one-zone travel on buses and HandyDART all day, every day, throughout Metro Vancouver. The existing fare-zone rates for SkyTrain, SeaBus and West Coast Express remain in effect. Also starting Oct. 5,

tapping with a Compass Card will become easier. Customers with Compass Cards or tickets will tap in but will no longer have to tap out when exiting the bus. Tap in and tap out is still required on all other modes. SkyTrain customers will see select gates closed at stations as a reminder to tap in and tap out.

“As we roll out Compass in phases, we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to support our customers along the way,” said Cathy McLay, TransLink’s acting CEO. “Introducing the onezone fare for bus travel and removing the need to tap out on buses will make this transition easier for our customers.”

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE FRASER

DEMOCRACY AND THE ELECTION AMENDMENT ACT

be available, I was successful in getting an amendment that protected a candidate’s right to a level playing field during elections –a right the government was removing in favour of only registered political parties.

RADIO TOWERS My office supported the Cross Border Coalition of citizens in fighting the relocation of the towers with letters, filing a Freedom of Information request with Industry Canada, and attending rallies. I was at the meeting in Whatcom County when the building permit for the five radio towers in Point Roberts was denied. The County Council ruling has been appealed and I will keep close watch, supporting the Coalition wherever possible.

BUILDERS LIEN NOTICE TO OWNERS ACT DREDGING THE FRASER RIVER The secondary channels of the Fraser were finally dredged last year. It was a critical investment, as many channels were impossible to navigate at low tide. Thanks go to the determined work of the Ladner Sediment Group with funding from Delta, Fisheries and Oceans, Port Metro Vancouver and the province. I am pleased

my office was able to bring the province and its contribution of $3-million to the table. It was a proud moment. I recently met with the Transportation Minister and was assured his ministry will work toward a sustainable dredging program. Millions of dollars would be wasted if the river once again fills with silt.

DELTA SOUTH LEGISLATIVE YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL My Advisory Council of high school students recently highlighted problems our seniors face when using transit in South Delta. The experiment was so successful the Advisory Council has been asked by Fraser Health to do a similar assessment for North Delta. I thank these wonderful students for their commitment to our community.

I introduced the Builders Lien Notice to Owners Act this spring. My Private Member’s Bill was a response to several residents who were seeking mandatory notification of homeowners when a lien is placed on their property. The government referred my bill to the B.C.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN DELTA SOUTH Commuting in our constituency is a major issue. The opening of Hwy 17 (SFPR) brought an improvement to the east/west commute, but it also brought a new set of problems – including the on-ramp to Hwy 99; the mystifying signage; and the “launch pad” (an undulating section) near Tilbury. Thankfully, those issues have mostly been addressed. Now we are navigating through the unbelievable mess caused by construction of the Tsawwassen Mills Mall. It is, quite simply, a nightmare. There will be no overpasses at 56th and 52nd – at least until someone is hurt or traffic backs down the ferry

causeway. We are told the traffic studies, done by the mall owners, show the roads can handle the mall traffic once the improvements are completed. We shall see. We meet regularly with the Regional Manager of Highways, who has been very responsive to our concerns. Changes have happened as a result of our discussions and we are pleased to have formed this very positive relationship – especially given the Tunnel Replacement Project will be an even worse challenge for all of us.

TED MURPHY

MURPHY’S LAW One word has tended to dominate the never-ending election campaign on a national level; one word has also been front and centre during the discourse that has taken place locally. They are, however, not the same word. Since the writ was dropped way back in early August, the economy has been king across the country. From jobs and taxes to budgets and deficits, Canada’s financial health has been the dominant issue on the minds of both voters and candidates. It’s obviously a hot-button topic here as well, but it’s taken a backseat to the environment, at least during the first two all-candidates meetings of the campaign. Granted, part of the reason for that is due to the particular interests of the groups that have been good enough to organize these public forums, but if there wasn’t sufficient interest in our ecological well being they wouldn’t have been able to fill both venues. Often times when federal elections roll around, there aren’t a whole lot of Delta-specific issues. Sure, we’re as concerned as the next Canadian about national security, our international image or health care, but they’re topics no more relevant here than they are in Saskatoon or St. John’s. This time around, however, we’ve got a few of our own, with environmental ones leading the way. The proposed expansion of container handling capacity at Roberts Bank in the form of Terminal 2 is the biggest and has also showed a clear divide between the challengers and the governing Conservatives. Thermal coal at Fraser Surrey Docks, LNG along the Fraser River, an oil pipeline from Alberta and the impacts all this and more will have on wildlife and our surroundings are top of mind for many people around here. Throw in the radio towers, the pending elimination of home mail delivery in Ladner and potential funding from Ottawa for a bridge to replace the George Massey Tunnel and we’ve got a buffet of federal issues before ever broaching topics like immigration, leadership style or crime and punishment. There are so many, in fact, that voters will have a hard time deciding where to put their support given no single candidate is likely to mirror their views on every subject and there will undoubtedly be a degree of overlap between those vying for their vote. The good news is there’s still two-plus weeks to sort all that out, so whether it’s the economy or the environment that will ultimately tip the scales, voters will have the last word.

Radio towers saga makes its way to courtroom next week STEVE GRAHAM

COMMUNITY COMMENT I have been involved with the opposition to the proposed KRPI antenna power project in Point Roberts for about a year-and-ahalf. To recap, KRPI is a radio station located in Ferndale, Wash., that serves the Punjabi community in Surrey. It is/was operated by, and controlled by, Sher-e-Punjab of Richmond through an American company called BBC Broadcasting Inc. Its application to Whatcom County to construct a 50 KW tower array in Point Roberts was approved by the county planning department but subsequently rejected by the county hearing examiner and later by the county council (unanimously). KRPI appealed the decision to the Skagit County Superior Court and that appeal is to be heard in Mount Vernon starting Oct. 7. If

the appeal is successful, the proposal will go back to the hearing examiner for a public hearing; if it isn’t successful, then it could be appealed to a higher appellate court in Washington. Keep tuned on this if you live in Tsawwassen because the project could adversely affect any electronic devices you may use and possibly your health as well. I suggest you ask the candidates in the upcoming federal election to provide a detailed position on this issue to you. Speaking of which, the federal election seems to be a yawner, with a large proportion of voters (including me) either undecided and/or uninterested. I was in southern Ontario last week and found a similar attitude there as well, except that Conservative support seems to have slipped in the 905 region of the GTA. Since there are two centre-left parties (excluding the Greens) and one centre-right party, the math indicates a Conservative minority if the undecided vote breaks evenly. None of the parties is presenting a set of well thought-out policies, notwithstanding having had four years to develop them.

It seems as if they are running only to retain their jobs, and are doing that begrudgingly. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says he will increase the taxes on “A” and give the money to “B” (Robin Hood socialism), without clearly describing who “A” and “B” are. The premise is that you will infer that you are “B” and vote for him, but check whether you are an “A” before you do so. The Liberal proposal to run deficits for three years to build infrastructure projects is impractical when such projects take five to 10 years to plan, design and build. The Conservatives promise to avoid deficit financing, but they have run deficits each year since 2009. The NDP offers balanced budgets and expensive new social programs. This requires more revenue. My interactions with the federal government — taxes, airports, passports, the border — are generally less enjoyable ones. The federal service that I do appreciate receiving is daily mail delivery to my door and an occasional discussion with the mail carrier. At least one party promises to continue delivering the mail; I think I’ll vote for that one.

October 2, 2015 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters to the Editor

Some dog park users have trouble following the rules

Editor: Not that I feel I should have to explain myself to anyone, but as my dog has a tendency to take off on me, I choose to walk her on a leash. Having read the rules that are clearly posted as you enter the dog park, nowhere does it say I have to have my dog off-leash. What it does say, however, if you choose to read those rules, is a limit of two dogs per person, so why are dog walking businesses walking six, eight, even 10 dogs per person? It also says your dog must be under your control at all times. So if your dog

chooses to run over snapping and growling and refuses to come when you call, it clearly is not under your control. And what should I do, just have the wait and see attitude and hope your dog doesn’t bite or maul mine? Sorry, but I don’t care whether your dog is “friendly” or “just a puppy” or one of the Queen’s corgis, I am not prepared to just “wait and see” and hope there isn’t any injury to my dog. I have been down this road and incurred a large vet bill, so yes, once bitten, twice shy.

And lastly, the rules say “if asked by someone to put your dog on leash, you should comply.” I am not 21 anymore and have to walk with a cane, so I don’t move as fast as I used to. So perhaps a little compassion and a little less confrontation and respect of my rights is in order. This park is for everyone to enjoy, not just a select few. I would also like to see an animal control officer make his/her presence known and perhaps educate patrons that clearly choose not to or cannot read those rules. Christine Conroy

Conservatives might have spared voter thus far, but rest assured that her time is coming

Editor: Re: Don’t blindly follow an unknown when Conservative MP has delivered millions to benefit her constituents, letter to the editor, Sept. 25 In response to Shirley Cruikshank’s letter, I would beg to differ on her take on the current political scene. Cruikshank, with no facts whatsoever, completely

derides the Liberal candidate, asking questions about her that are designed to instil doubt about her, and to instil doubt about one’s sensibility if they “blindly follow an unknown.” My question to you, Cruikshank: Is $440 million the price you’re “blindly” willing to accept for the sellout of Canada to the highest bidder, for the loss

of our Constitution’s protection of citizens, for the cuts of funding to the bulk of our social safety nets and for the total destruction of our environment? You may be fortunate enough that you have not been directly affected yet, but give the Conservatives time. It’s just that you’re a bit further down their list. Maurice Bourassa

Roberts Bank isn’t part of Ramsar designation

Editor: I attended the allcandidates meeting in the northern part of the riding last Saturday. Interestingly, the Conservative incumbent candidate was in attendance this time. One of the claims she made must be refuted. Kerry-Lynne Findlay took credit for the designation of the Fraser River delta as a Ramsar site, thus she claimed having saved the western sandpipers. Local biologist Dr. Mary Taitt, in her submission to Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, told the real story. The Fraser River Delta was declared a Ramsar Site in 2012 but “somewhere between application

and designation... Roberts Bank was deleted.” Remember that in 2008 an international team discovered the reason sandpipers flock to Roberts Bank is because of the highly nutritious biofilm that sustains them on their migratory flight. Biofilm elsewhere in the estuary does not contain this particularly high level of nutrition. Roberts Bank is the area in which Port Metro Vancouver intends to build Terminal 2. Perhaps this may be connected to the exclusion of this most ecologically important part of the delta? Either way, the Conservative candidate’s claim is ridiculous. Wilma Haig

Terry

Domestic Short Hair, Black and White, Neutered Male Adult, (Approximately 1 year old) Terry came to us as a trapped feral that has since turned quite friendly. Terry lived outdoors and was being fed by his finder who was then able to trap him when Terry bit his own tongue and needed medical assistance. He was going to be returned to the finder’s home after he got all fixed up but he decided that perhaps he’d rather be a friendly inside cat instead! Terry doesn’t seem to mind other cats in the shelter and can be seen hanging out with other cats in our communal room. We feel Terry would do best in a home with no dog but may do well with older children who understand cat body language. Terry likely will be fine as an indoor cat in his new home as long as there’s a bright window for him to stare out and watch the world go by. Can Terry get comfortable in your home?

WOW! This Tuesday Oct 6th is Pets Day

Those at all-candidates forums are there to get answers, not to attack

Editor: Re: Findlay had no chance with partisan crowd at meeting, letter to the editor, Sept. 23 I have read letters to the editor regarding the election with interest. The writers have proposed or defended strategies that voters could use, and some appear to be the shills of particular campaigns. One letter from Curtis MacDonald stood out by its rationale that, since all-candidates meetings are solely intended to “embarrass and attack the incumbent… why would Kerry-Lynne Findlay completely waste her time by attending?” The letter portrays an

election as a sales pitch where the seller is only interested in getting a foot in the door of the most likely mark. To me, that viewpoint indicates how far politicians have moved from honest representation of the electorate. Yes, Findlay is a target. She was paid by the public purse, she assumed the responsibility and cachet of a cabinet position, and, as minister of national revenue, she made decisions that affected the lives of every Canadian. In contrast to the other aspiring candidates, she should be held accountable and must answer the electorate’s questions.

Rather than having tea with a handful of citizens, she should be defending her record to all of her constituents as our sitting representative in Parliament. I can assure MacDonald that, similar to the majority of attendees at all-candidates meetings, I would not be there to embarrass any particular candidate but to get answers about a number of things that are very troubling. Here are a few of my questions in advance of the next all-candidates meeting: • Why did the CRA spend millions of dollars chasing down off-shore tax evaders only to announce that it was abandoning its pursuit of the billions of

dollars in taxes? • Why did Findlay appear with, and endorse the services of, KPMG at the same time that her ministry was pursuing court action against the company for its role in setting up and profiting from an allegedly illegal tax haven? • Can she explain why so many charities that have been critical of the government are now being pursued and harassed by her ministry? • Does Findlay support the muzzling of government scientists who should be free to report on the results of publicly funded research? Dr. Warren Wolfe

Economic development initiatives aren’t worth compromising the health of Fraser watershed

Editor: During my lifetime I have been living and working in the environment of the Fraser River watershed. Having written many letters describing my concerns for the health of the 2.5 million people and their environment, it becomes harder and harder to describe those concerns and have them considered seriously and

with merit. Sadly the value of our watershed ecosystems seem to be only recognized when they become lost and it is too late for their recovery. The Fraser River watershed and the lower Fraser River watershed’s ecosystem are being threatened under the name of economic development, by deepening the lower Fraser River

to create deep sea docks within it and man-made docks at its mouth. The Fraser River must maintain its flow of water and volume of sediment in order for its ecosystem to survive. The Cohen Commission, which investigated the decline of the Fraser River salmon, said it was mainly from the loss and degradation of their habitat within the Fraser River watershed and estuary. The Fraser River fishing industry alone is worth over $300 million annually and produces more salmon that any other river in the world. The Fraser is also home of the sturgeon, the largest fresh water fish in North America. The Fraser River delta is recognized all over the world for its international

significance and ecological importance for migratory birds, fish species and diverse habitats that support a multitude of other fish species. Maintaining a healthy ecosystem within the Fraser River watershed is vital, not only for the people who live within it, but for other marine life that lives within that ecosystem with its lakes, beaches, wetlands and coastal banks (Sturgeon and Roberts). A healthy ecosystem has a continuing economic value of at least $30 billion per year. We must include those economic values before we build anything within that ecosystem that will deter from its continued healthy existence. Douglas George Massey

October 2, 2015 The Delta Optimist A11 Letters to the Editor

In contempt of electorate O P E N

Editor: Re: Tory signs put emphasis on the local candidate, letter to the editor, Sept. 23 Ulf Ottho is at best disingenuous and at worst engaging in a flight of fancy in his letter to the editor endeavouring partly to “balance” views on KerryLynne Findlay’s absence from a recent all-candidates meeting in South Delta. Further to Ottho’s confusion on this matter an earlier effort purported to attribute Findlay’s absence from the event by describing her schedule for the weekend. She is described as having attended several events, as

well as having knocked on 300 constituents’ doors over that same weekend. Come on, people, if you are going to try to defend her, please get real about it. Knocking on 300 doors — and attending several disparate campaign events, even over a weekend — not unless she has four hands? Ottho also seems to imply that Findlay lacked adequate notice of the all-candidates meeting. Unlikely and probably untrue, given she had at least a month’s notice of the event and she didn’t even reply to her invitation until the day before the meeting. Given this, and the con-

tents of a recent flyer distributed by Findlay where she suggests that Justin Trudeau will: 1) “scrap” income splitting; 2) “cancel” the universal child care benefit; 3) “eliminate” tax free savings accounts — only one of which bears any semblance of being a truthful comment — and even then only if it is taken almost completely out of context — one has to wonder, “Why would anyone be interested in being represented by a member of Parliament who cannot truthfully debate issues, and who is contemptuous of her electorate?” Firth Bateman

Canada projecting wrong image to rest of world

Editor: As Oct. 19 approaches, I and most likely two-thirds of Canada’s voting population are anxiously pondering how to avoid another Stephen Harper government. The image that Canada has projected to the world in the last nine years has taken on a corporate, military glitter that places oil

and fighter jets higher on the priority list than environment and equality. Few Canadians expected the dramatic role reversal with an American president voicing concern about climate change and the need for a negotiated settlement with Iran while our prime minister became a cheerleader for tar sands and for partisan politics in the

Middle East. It’s time for a return to peace missions and sensible domestic policies. If we are truly interested in a secure future for Canada, the solution is not bills like C51 and more fighter jets but a plan for dropping the average annual temperature rather than bombs. Walter Rasmussen

Ballroom bash

Delta Cup dance competiton coming to Tsawwassen BY

DAVE WILLIS

dwillis@delta-optimist.com

ver 150 dancers are expected to descend on KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen for the Delta Cup, a first-time ballroom dance competition, later this month. Dancers, some of whom are making the trip from Seattle, Edmonton, Vancouver Island and the Vancouver area, will be competing in various dances under both the international and American styles. Examples include the waltz, tango, cha-cha and rumba. The event is being organized by dance instructors and former Tsawwassen residents George and Wendy Pytlik. The husband-and-wife team is hoping to make the Delta Cup an annual occurrence. There will be a range of skill levels, as well as age groups, taking part in the competition, which will see a total of 16 trophies awarded. “We have some fiveyear-olds competing right up to 60-plus,” says Wendy. At each level competitors are allowed to dance a few more step patterns, George explains, noting at the open

level (the highest level) they can do anything they want. It takes years of work to get there, he adds. The judges are marking different things at different levels, he explains. “When they’re watching the lower level dancers they’re watching how good is the technique. Are they closing their feet? When are they moving? Are they on time? Things like that,” he says.

“We have some fiveyear-olds competing right up to 60-plus.”

Wendy Pytlik

“It’s fun because you’re seeing people who are enthused about dancing, getting into it and working hard.” Audiences at competitions can get loud as they cheer for the dancers, he says. “It’s really cool because when you have a full house, it’s just great for the dancers.” The Delta Cup is set for Saturday, Oct. 17 at KinVillage Community Centre, 5430-10th Ave. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.

for the daytime session and the competition gets underway at 9:30 a.m. There is an evening session with doors at 6 p.m. and a 7 p.m. start. There is a waiting list for tickets on the event’s website, www.deltacup.dance. Pytlik expects more to become available as competitors clarify their ticket needs. The cost is $30 for an evening ticket or $20 for a daytime ticket. He says half the proceeds will be going to KinVillage. The Pytliks started teaching dancing there last year. They offer a 12-week beginners program that repeats throughout the year. They also run intermediate and advanced programs. More information about their classes can be found at www.delta.dance.

Sidekick opens 19th season

Thriller Wait Until Dark to be staged at Tsawwassen Arts Centre The Sidekick Players Club opens its 19th season next week with the awardwinning thriller Wait Until Dark. Written by Frederick Knott and directed for Sidekick by Carroll Lefebvre, the play will begin a three-week run at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre Oct. 8. After a flight back home, Sam Hendrix (Ted Schellenberg) returns with a doll he innocently acquired along the way. As it turns out, the doll is actually stuffed with heroin, and a group of criminals led by the ruthless Roat (Jeff Pannell) has followed Hendrix back to his place to retrieve it. When Hendrix leaves for business, the crooks make their move — and find his blind wife, Susy (Lisa Gach), alone in the apartment. Soon, a life-threatening game begins between Susy and the thugs.

“The stage play is more suspenseful than the movie,” says Lefebvre. “We find ourselves jumping and flinching at times during rehearsals.” Some scenes in the play are performed in total darkness, which poses many problems. “We have to be careful that actors aren’t hurt while performing,” says Lefebvre. “It’s been very challenging choreographing some scenes so that we don’t compromise the actors’ safety while still terrifying the audience.” Lefebvre is assisted by Margaret Currivan, Maureen Dorotich and Trish Mardon. Wait Until Dark runs from Oct. 8 to 24 with performances at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only. There is one matinee, Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2 p.m. Tickets sell out quickly, so call 604-2882415 to reserve seats.

OCT.24 - Benefit Concert & Dance for Reach Child and Youth Development Society

Rockin’ for Reach fundraiser returns Annual event set for Oct. 24 in Tsaw.

Reach Child and Youth Development Society will have KinVillage rockin’ with its fourth annual Rockin’ for Reach benefit concert and dance next month. Juno Award-winning musician Gabriel Mark Hasselbach, formerly of the Powder Blues, and friends will provide the music for the Oct. 24 event in Tsawwassen. “The blues are timeless and when we get up there playing, it rocks,” says Hasselbach, who promises the dance floor will be full. Reach fundraising manager Joni Wright interviewed Hasselbach this summer about headlining for Rockin’ for Reach 2015. Hasselbach said, “I get to bring together some of the best blues and R&B talent in Vancouver for your event.”

Fellow performers Lisa Fennell, Olaf DeShield, Cecile LaRochelle and L J Mountenay are termed “TDWR” in the music industry, which means talent deserving wider recognition. Wright is anticipating a fantastic live music community event to support Reach’s Building for Children Together capital campaign. Funds from the benefit concert support efforts to build a children’s development centre in the heart of Ladner to better serve children with special needs and their families. Tickets for Rockin’ for Reach are available at Albany Books in Tsawwassen and Black Bond Books in Ladner. For more information, visit www.rockinforreach.com. Reach Child and Youth

BUILDING A HEALTHY FUTURE When the Orlitzky family, long time Delta residents and local business owners of ATS Electro-Lube, heard that Delta Hospital was expanding, they decided to get behind their community and help build a healthy future for Delta. With a growing family, they understand the importance of having a well equipped Delta Hospital close to home, and the piece of mind that this brings. That’s why ATS Electro-Lube and the Orlitzky family have chosen to help lay the foundations for a healthy future. As members of The Delta Builders Club, they are helping to raise the final funds needed to expand and enhance Delta Hospital’s Medical Imaging and Laboratory departments.

DON’T LET YOUR DREAMS GO UP IN SMOKE

Location is critical when installing smoke alarms

Location matters when it comes to your smoke alarm. That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Should Have a Working Smoke Alarm!” Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, Delta Fire & Emergency Services is joining forces with the National Fire Protection Association during Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4 to 10, to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. “In a fire, seconds

count,” said deputy fire Chief Michel Latendresse. “Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.” According to the latest National Fire Protection Association research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half. Meanwhile, three out of five fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Delta Fire Rescue & Emergency Services will once be delivering the annual Fire & Life Safety

Program to Schools during Fire Prevention Week and through the month of October. Through this educational experience with fire crews, elementary students will learn about the importance of having a working smoke alarm in every bedroom and general fire safety. Children will have an opportunity to win an IPad sponsored by the Office of the B.C. Fire Commissioner, the B.C. Fire Chiefs’ Association, the Fire Training Officers’ Association of B.C., the Fire Prevention Officers’ Association of B.C. and Fortis BC. Children will also have the opportunity to become the Chief-ForA-Day.

Thank you to all our Delta ﬁreﬁghters for your service to our community.

Simple steps can make life-saving difference

Properly installed and maintained smoke alarms play vital role in reducing deaths and injuries, chief says The following is a message from Delta fire Chief Dan Copeland: Our sincere hope is that all Delta residents participate in one or more of our Fire Prevention Week activities, and make sure working smoke alarms are installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a life-saving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threatening impact of fire. Additional smoke alarm tips are listed below: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the base-

ment. • Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. • Test alarms each month by pushing the test button. • Replace all smoke alarms, when they are 10 year old or sooner if they do not respond properly including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hardwired alarms. • Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm.

Hoarding poses an ever-growing fire threat

Cluttered households could endanger both residents and firefighters Many fire departments are experiencing serious fires, injuries and deaths as the result of compulsive hoarding behaviour. The excessive accumulation of materials in homes poses a significant threat to firefighters fighting fires and responding to other emergencies in these homes and to residents and neighbours. Often, the local fire department will be contacted to help deal with this serious issue. Since studies suggest that between three and five per cent of the population are compulsive hoarders, fire departments must become familiar with this issue and how to effectively handle it. Hoarding is defined as collecting or keeping large amounts of various items in the home due to strong urges to save them or distress experienced when discarding them. Many rooms in the home are so filled with possessions that

Week marks Chicago fire

Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on Oct. 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on Oct. 9, 1871. According to popular legend, the fire broke out after a cow — belonging to Mrs. Catherine O’Leary — kicked over a lamp, setting first the barn, then the whole city on fire. While the Great Chicago Fire was the best-known blaze to start during this fiery two-day stretch, it wasn’t the biggest. That distinction goes to the Peshtigo Fire, the most devastating forest fire in American history. The fire, which also occurred on Oct. 8, 1871, and roared through Northeast Wisconsin, burning down 16 towns, killing 1,152 people and scorching 1.2 million acres before it ended. Historical accounts of the fire say that the blaze began when several railroad workers clearing land for tracks unintentionally started a brush fire.

residents can no longer use the rooms as designed. The home is so overloaded with things that everyday living is compromised. Hoarding is a mental disorder that can be genetic in nature, triggered by traumatic events or a symptom of another disorder, such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder or dementia. Studies have found that hoarding usually begins in

early adolescence and gets worse as a person ages. It is more common among older adults. * Hoarding can be a fire hazard. Many occupants die in fires in these homes. Often, blocked exits prevent escape from the home. In addition, many people who are hoarding are injured when they trip over things or when materials fall on them.

* Responding firefighters can be put at risk due to obstructed exits, falling objects, and excessive fire loading that can lead to collapse. Hoarding makes fighting fires and searching for occupants far more difficult. * Those living adjacent to an occupied structure can be quickly affected when a fire occurs, due to excessive smoke and fire conditions.

An excessive accumulation of materials can make it difficult for firefighters to respond to an emergency.

ing building. If someone is missing, inform the fire department dispatcher when you call. Firefighters have the skills and equipment to perform rescues. Putting your plan to the test * Practice your home fire escape plan twice a year, making the drill as realistic as possible. * Make arrangements in your plan for anyone in your home who has a disability. * Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. The objective is to practice, not to frighten, so telling children there will be a drill before bed can be as effective as a surprise drill. * It’s important to determine during the drill whether children and others can readily waken to the sound of the smoke alarm. If they fail to awaken, make sure that someone is assigned to wake them up as part of the drill and in a real emergency situation. * If your home has two floors, every family member (including children) must be able to escape from the second floor rooms. Escape ladders can be placed in or near windows to provide an additional escape route. Practice setting up the ladder from a first floor window to make sure you can do it correctly and quickly. * Always choose the escape route that is safest — the one with the least amount of smoke and heat — but be prepared to escape under toxic smoke if necessary. WINDOW

Your ability to get out of your home in the event of a fire depends on advance warning from smoke alarms and advance planning: * Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes. Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. Also, mark the location of each smoke alarm. * Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. * Everyone in the household must understand the escape plan. When you walk through your plan, check to make sure the escape routes are clear and doors and windows can be opened easily. * Choose an outside meeting place (i.e. neighbour’s house, a light post, mailbox or stop sign) a safe distance in front of your home where everyone can meet after they’ve escaped. Make sure to mark the location of the meeting place on your escape plan. * Go outside to see if your street number is clearly visible from the road. If not, paint it on the curb or install house numbers to ensure that responding emergency personnel can find your home. * Have everyone memorize the emergency phone number of the fire department. That way any member of the household can call from a neighbour’s home or a cellular phone once safely outside.

* If windows or doors in your home have security bars, make sure the bars have emergency release devices inside so they can be opened immediately in an emergency. Emergency release devices won’t compromise your security — but they will increase your chances of safely escaping a home fire. * Tell guests or visitors to your home about your family’s fire escape plan. When staying overnight at other people’s homes, ask about their escape plan. If they don’t have a plan in place, offer to help them make one. This is especially important when children attend “sleepovers” at friends’ homes. * Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke alarm sounds, get out immediately. Once you’re out, stay out. Under no circumstances should you ever go back into a burn-

A musician who never missed a beat! An avid sports fan who always knew the score! This centenarian lived life to the fullest and our hearts swell with joy as we picture him dancing once again with the love of his life Anne, "Dear". Robert was the son of the late Robert T. Barrett & Bertha Barrett (nee Bell, Toronto). A loving husband to the late Anne Barrett (Rouffer), and dear father to Shirley Desjardins (Marcel), and Robert Barrett (Karen). He was Grampa Bob−Bob to; Danielle (Gerry), Lissa (Dan), Yvonne (Garett), Yvette (Scott), Michelle (Pete), Monique (Paul), Marcel Jr., Tracy (Warren), and Roberta (Tony). A Great−Grampa Bob−Bob to; Lauren (Jeff), Brad, Ellisha, Derek, Nicole, Matthew, Emma, Brett, Stephanie, Brandon, Emily, and Jack. And, even a Great−Great−Grampa Bob−Bob to Maelle, who now leads the 5th generation! Dearest brother to Lillian Gallant (late Art), and predeceased by his brother Harold Barrett (Win), and his sister Elma Roundell (Jack). "Bob−Bob", also leaves behind numerous relatives, friends and team mates throughout Canada and the USA. He was a veteran of WW2, travelled the world entertaining the troops in the armed forces, and sang and danced in night clubs globally. The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Delta Hospital, Kin Village Assisted Living in Tsawwassen and Eden Care Centre in Chilliwack, who cared for him with the utmost respect and compassion until the "final curtain call". A celebration of Bob−Bob’s "Wonderful World" will be held at a later date.

MOORHOUSE, Lenora (nee Kamlah) .

McMILLAN, Archibald P. May 09, 1940 − September 29, 2015

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, and grandfather. He passed away in his sleep at home. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Sheila; daughter Heather Schmidt (Sam, Jacob, Matthew); grandchildren Ryan, Tyler (and their father Dave); and son Paul (Carly). Arch was born and raised in Vancouver, and wed his sweetheart Sheila in 1963, while serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. Soon after they moved to Tsawwassen where they raised their family. Arch was actively involved in the Tsawwassen Baseball Association and the TOOBS. He loved spending his days sitting in the sun, reading a good book, with his dog Bonnie by his side. Arch had a love for animals and we know they all greeted him with kisses and tails wagging. Even with his declining health, Arch was able to attend his son Paul’s wedding this summer and he was so proud to see him marry Carly. We have wonderful memories as a family of that day. We will all miss his wry sense of humour. There will be no service, he did not want the fuss. To honour his memory, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Delta Hospital Foundation (604−940−9695) or the Delta Community Animal Shelter (604−940−7111). "A life well lived. He will be missed."

Tributes for September

BARRETT, Robert "Bob−Bob" G. June 17, 1915 − September 22, 2015

passed away September 24, 2015 at the age of 79 years. She is survived by her loving husband Dennis Moorhouse, sons David (Linda), Wayne (Carolyn), daughter Marianne (Scott), two grandchildren Kate and Reid, brothers Dennis and Jerry Kamlah, many nieces and nephews. They resided in Nakusp, BC for many years at Box 331, Nakusp, BC VOG 1R0

Delta Hospital Foundation gratefully acknowledges gifts in memory of:

DOHERTY, Betty Betty passed away quietly and with dignity on Friday, September 11th at Mountain View Manor in Ladner, BC with her close family by her side. Betty lived her 92 years with grace and strong determination - characteristics she passed on to her daughter and granddaughters. She will be forever loved by her daughter, Sheryl and husband Gary Gaffey in Tsawwassen, BC; granddaughters Stephanie and husband Jens Lundgreen-Nielsen in the UAE; Melinda and husband Neal Skura in Burnaby, BC and Jennifer Tilbury in Tsawwassen, BC. She was overjoyed with her great-grandchildren Riley, Lauren and Declynn. She will join her parents Edith and Bert Aspinall, husband Wesley Doherty and siblings Bert, Phil, Pat and Eddie in heaven. Also remembering her are her sister-in-law Eve Aspinall in Westmount QC; Sylvia Smith and family in St. Lambert, QC; nieces Debbie and Shirley and nephews David, Peter and Michael. Born and raised in Montreal, Betty was a ‘city girl’ who found herself with Wes in Whitehorse, Yukon after the end of WW2 - as you can imagine - this was culture shock of epic proportions. After 3 years they returned to Montreal with baby Sherry where Betty started to work at the Royal Bank that gig lasted for 33 years. In Beaconsfield she enjoyed singing with the Sweet Adelines and lawn bowling. She moved to Tsawwassen, BC after retirement to be close to her family where she enjoyed her golden years watching with pride her granddaughters thrive and great-grandchildren grow. Betty was a true lady and will be in our hearts forever. Her strength and faith will be celebrated at All Saints Anglican Church, 4755 Arthur Dr. Ladner, BC on Saturday, October 3 at 3:00 pm. with The Ven. Elizabeth Northcott presiding followed by a reception. Her final resting place will be at the Last Post Field of Honour in Point Claire, QC beside Wes.

OBITUARIES

GENERAL EMPLOYMENT HUDSON, Phillis M. April 19, 1941 September 27, 2015

Our beloved grandmamma and mother Phillis Melba Hudson went to be with her Lord on a beautiful Sunday morning at age 74. Phillis was a woman of great courage, kindness, generosity and grace throughout her life. She was born in Victoria, BC to Arthur and Hedwig Lange (Malskies) and was the second youngest of seven children. In 1965 she graduated as an RN from Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and went on to complete Community Health Nursing at UBC in 1965. She worked throughout the Lower Mainland and most of her career in Richmond as a Public Health nurse. In her free time she loved to sing, play piano and the accordion, garden, sew, write creatively and open her home to many. She had a deep faith in God and had a heart for those in need and who were vulnerable. Dearest to Phillis were her family and friends and we hold closely the example she set and the love and sacrifices she made for those around her. She will be greatly missed by her daughter Kara, son-in-law Darren, her grandchildren Katlin, Jeffrey, Soleil, Loveka and great-grandson Memphis. We would like to give a special thanks to all the staff at Mountain View Manor and her friends there who made her feel like she was amongst family. Also, thank you for the care she was given in her final days at Irene Thomas Hospice. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti, www.cfchcanada.ca .
