Caber, the Delta police’s trauma K9, recently returned from Alberta where he provided support to residents of Fort McMurray as they returned home more than a month after a wildfire ravaged the area.

Caber and handler Kim Gramlich, the department’s victim services program coor-

dinator, were dispatched to the northern Alberta city as part of B.C.’s Disaster Psychosocial Response Team.

Run through the Provincial Health Services Authority, the team responds during largescale emergencies and disasters with a focus on the psychosocial needs of the public and first responders before, during and after an incident.

Mall has 1,000 jobs to fill Tsawwassen Mills hosts job fair at Vancouver Convention Centre next weekend SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

More than 1,000 jobs will be up for grabs at Tsawwassen Mills, which is holding a big job fair next weekend in Vancouver.

Featuring 200 stores, including 16 anchor tenants, the destination mall set to open this fall at the Tsawwassen First Nation is inviting job seekers to come to the Vancouver Convention Centre at Canada Place June 25 and 26.

The list of retailers participating in the job fair includes a few new names that haven’t been announced yet as tenants at the 1.2-million-squarefoot shopping centre, which will celebrate its grand opening Oct. 5.

Job fair hours are noon to 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 25 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 26.

Among the approximately 60 stores taking part include: Adidas, Reebok, ALDO, Spring, Ardene, Bass Pro Shops, Bell, Virgin Mobile, Bench, Esprit, Thread & Copper,

Merchants at the 200-store Tsawwassen Mills are starting to hire staff in preparation for an October opening.

Body Shop, Browns Shoes, Champs Sports, Forever 21, Gap Factory Store, Guess, H&M (which recently had another job fair at Delta Secondary), HMV Canada, Hot Topic, La Vie En Rose, Lindt Chocolate, Michael Hill,

Nygard Fashion, Opa! Of Greece, Pro Hockey Life, PUMA, Saks OFF 5TH, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sport Chek, The Outlet by Harry Rosen, Things Engraved, Tommy Hilfiger, Urban Planet, West 49, Winners and Marshalls.

“The job fair is an important step towards the grand opening,” said Tsawwassen Mills general manager Mark Fenwick, “and will help connect our tenants with potential employees who are seeking a new opportunity to

work for exciting brands.”

According to mall developer Ivanhoé Cambridge, Tsawwassen Mills will offer highly-anticipated brands and several firstto-market retailers that will attract shoppers from across Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Island and beyond.

Modeled after CrossIron Mills in Calgary and Vaughan Mills in Greater Toronto area, the mall is to be a mix of premium fashion brands, factory outlets and restaurants as well as a 1,100-seat food court.

The mall is expected to create 3,000 full-time and part-time jobs. For more information about the job fair, check the Tsawwassen Mills website at tsawwassenmills.ca.

Next door to Tsawwassen Mills will be a new 550,000-squarefoot outdoor mall called Tsawwassen Commons, which is also set to open this October.

That mall is expected to feature over 100 retailers and restaurants, including such major tenants as Walmart, Canadian Tire and Rona.

Caber provides emotional support as residents return

CONTINUED from Page 1 “It can be for just about anything and to just about anywhere,” Gramlich said, adding the team specifically asked for Caber and this was the first time the canine has been used in a large-scale disaster.

Gramlich and Caber were in Fort McMurray for six days as residents started returning to the city.

“Our role was to provide emotional support,” Gramlich said. “Our job was to just talk to people and check in and see how they’re doing.”

Residents were allowed to return home in stages.

Over the first two days, she said, those returning were those whose homes were OK. Those coming back to town on days three and four were people whose homes were destroyed in the fire.

“We did meet a lot of people who did lose their homes,” Gramlich said.

The pair also ended up working with a lot of the first responders.

Gramlich said about 10 per cent of the population of the city lost their homes to the fire. However, 30 per cent of the city’s first responders, who were on the front lines of the battle

against the blaze, lost their homes.

As with his work with Delta Police Department’s victim services unit, Caber’s main job in Fort McMurray is just to be there to provide comfort to those in need.

“There is a huge cathartic response to petting a dog,” Gramlich said.

“Touch is healing, touch is helpful.”

As for Caber, “He loved it,” she said, adding the pair logged 12- and 13-hour days.

“My job as his handler is to monitor his stress levels,” she said. “I never once

saw him stressed.”

There is a long history of dogs being used in disaster situations in the U.S. Canines were brought in during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and during the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

However, their use is still fairly new in Canada.

Caber became Canada’s first trauma dog when he joined the Delta Police Department’s victim services unit in 2010.

Gramlich said there are now 16 trauma dogs in use across the country.

In Fort McMurray, Caber and Gramlich spent

some time at the reception centres set up for returning residents, but the pair spent even more of their time visiting with police officers and firefighters.

The pair spent a lot of time on the bridge where first responders welcomed residents back. Firefighters and police officers were on the bridge 24 hours a day over the four days residents returned home.

“It was good for the first responders,” Gramlich said. “Everyone was honking their horns as they came back into town. It really united the community.”

Neither the regional district nor municipalities like Delta can ban the installation of polluting wood-burning fireplaces or appliances in homes, despite their impact on air quality.

It’s something that needs to change, according to Delta council, which recently discussed a staff report on the issue.

“It occurred to me we seem to make a great to-do about diesel engines and other industries polluting, and yet, wood smoke, which is originating in the Lower Mainland, is the number one source of particulate in the region,” said Mayor Lois Jackson.

“I think we have to pay a lot more attention because if this is 25 per cent of the particulate in the whole Lower Mainland, it’s one of the worst because this can be a killer for people,” she said.

Congestion reliever is now clogged

Opened 30 years ago to take the burden off other crossings, Alex Fraser Bridge is now second busiest span in region SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

It opened 30 years ago with much fanfare and expectation that it would alleviate traffic congestion, but now it’s also feeling the crunch.

Connecting North Delta with Richmond and New Westminster, the now heavily used Alex Fraser Bridge officially opened on Sept. 22, 1986.

Delta MLA Walter Davidson had put his seat on the line in 1979 with a promise the bridge would receive provincial government approval, which it did.

Also known as the Annacis Bridge, but officially named after the province’s highways minister at the time, the 465-metre span used just four lanes when it opened but it had the capability to convert to six lanes. It didn’t take that long for the conversion to happen.

Now those six lanes — or at least the three

heading with rush hour — aren’t cutting it either.

The province last week announced a number of planned improvements to help ease congestion on the bridge and the Highway 91 stretch, including looking at creating a rush hour counterflow system similar to what’s used at the George Massey Tunnel.

The longest cable-style bridge in the world at the time it opened, the Alex Fraser was expected to reroute almost 25 per cent of the traffic using the tunnel and the Pattullo Bridge. Some 37,000 vehicles were expected to use the crossing daily with commuters saving as much as 20 minutes each way.

Costing $444 million, the crossing was joined a couple of years later with a new east-west freeway through Richmond. More recently, the South Fraser Perimeter Road was built to also provide quicker access.

When the bridge opened, it was also reported that the “usual morning and late afternoon Massey Tunnel and Pattullo Bridge traffic tie-ups have almost disappeared.” However, then-mayor Ernie Burnett said time would tell if motorists would be able to continue flying quickly through the other crossings.

Fast-forward three decades, and he latest available numbers gathered from Delta’s engineering department for the Alex Fraser, from 2011, show the bridge experiences the second most volume of any bridge in Metro Vancouver at 117,000 vehicles daily.

The tunnel, meanwhile, has 89,000 vehicles using it daily.

CAO George Harvie told Delta council earlier this year the Alex Fraser is now at capacity during the two-to three-hour afternoon rush. He also noted increasing congestion is making things unsafe as

the latest available statistics from 2013 show 179 accidents. That figure doesn’t even include collisions on the highway to and from the bridge.

“We don’t see any relief until the new bridge over the Deas Island (George Massey) Tunnel is completed. Without tolling or whatever option, we won’t see any relief for six or seven years,” Harvie said.

Delta North MLA Scott Hamilton said the demand on the Alex Fraser has grown substantially with the rapidly increasing population south of the Fraser.

“I said it before but I’ll say it again. When I moved to this community 30 years ago, the Alex Fraser opened two months after I moved here… at eight o’clock in the morning 30 years ago, you could fire a cannon down that bridge and wouldn’t hit anything.

A lot has changed since then when you think of the growth in Surrey alone,” Hamilton said.

Auxiliary presents $11,000 in bursaries at celebration SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The Delta Hospital Auxiliary handed out eight bursaries to local students and staff this week.

A celebration was held at the hospital Wednesday to announce $11,000 has been awarded to six students and two hospital staffers as part of the auxiliary’s bursary program.

It’s the 20th year the society has given out bursaries to assist students who are entering the health care field and for staff members to upgrade their skills.

It’s just the latest example of giving by the nonprofit group, formed in the late 1960s by individuals dedicated to bringing a hospital to Delta. The auxiliary has been vital for the hospital, purchasing many pieces of medical equipment over the years. It also provides for the residential care unit as well as the music therapy program and other areas.

Hundreds of volunteers contribute tens of thousands of hours every year at the auxiliary’s gift shop,

Lifeline unit, Ladner thrift store and Courtyard Cafe.

They’re also involved in such activities as making post-surgical pillows for mastectomy and other patients.

In the last year, the group contributed $125,000 for the purchase of a new bus for Mountain View Manor, the hospital’s extended care unit, as well as hundreds of thousands for medical equipment, recreation programs and

music therapy.

The group is also halfway to its goal of raising $2.5 million to contribute to the hospital’s lab services and medical imaging expansion project.

Last month, members of the auxiliary and the Delta Hospital Foundation celebrated the opening of a new pre-admission clinic for surgical daycare, a project made possible thanks to the fundraising efforts of both groups.

The two weak spots in the network are the North Shore and Delta/Surrey, so BCLC is reaching out to local governments in those parts to see if they’d be on board in this effort to serve customers better.

There’s a little-known provision in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that says no one living in a metropolitan area should be any more than 10 kilometres away from a gaming facility. OK, so maybe access to a casino isn’t enshrined in our constitution, but the BCLC is making darn sure that if you want to hit on 13 (despite statistical evidence to the contrary), you won’t have to travel far to do so.

The curious part of the invitation sent to local governments, at least for me, is the fact that Surrey already has two such facilities, the recently rebranded Elements Casino at Fraser Downs and the Newton Community Gaming Centre, although you could argue, I suppose, neither is overly large and the northern part of the rapidlygrowing city is underserved.

However, if a casino was to be opened in, say, the Guildford area, it would do little to address the issue here in Delta. Even with the help of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, it’s 28 kilometres from Ladner to the Guildford Town Centre, yet there are three casinos — River Rock in Richmond, Starlight in New Westminster and Elements — that are already closer.

What’s more, a Guildford area casino would be only 10 kilometres across the Port Mann to the Hard Rock.

What does all this mean, you ask?

Well, from a strictly geographical perspective, it makes more sense to locate a new casino in Delta as it would spread out the pins on a map, which appears to be the lottery corporation’s objective in this exercise. I’m not sure if the BCLC is looking at it that way, although that could all be a moot point if both the Corporation of Delta and the Tsawwassen First Nation say they’re not interested in playing host to a gaming facility.

If one or both are amenable to the idea, however, then I wouldn’t bet against the prospect of a casino ending up in our back yard in the not so distant future.

Price spike not reflected in this year’s property tax bill

I

f you own property in Delta, this is the time of year when you get to pay your municipal taxes — unless you are on a plan where a portion is paid every month or a senior citizen deferring the taxes until your property is sold.

Delta council has announced the budget will require a tax increase of one per cent this year for all municipal services and a further 2.5 per cent for increases to police, for turf field replacement and another fire hall, for a total of 3.5 per cent.

Over the past 10 years, Delta’s operating budget has increased 60 per cent, with the police budget up 85 per cent.

There are a lot of numbers being tossed around about taxes and house prices and you may be wondering: What is going on?

What’s the impact on my tax bill?

Your property (house and land) is the base for calculating the tax.

The assessment of your property was made July 1 last year. It’s the document you got in January.

Between July 2014 and July 2015, South Delta houses increased in value — on average — by 13.5 per cent. If your property assessment increase was more than that, your increase in

Community Comment IAN ROBERTSON

taxes will be more than 3.5 per cent. If your assessment increase was less than 13 per cent, you will pay a bit less.

The assessment change for South Delta was more than North Delta in the past year so we in the south part of the municipality will bear a heavier portion of taxes than North Delta this year.

You probably are wondering more about the tax impact of the massive increase in house prices this year in Delta. That increase — which happened after the assessment was done last July — is yet to work its way into our tax calculations. Be aware it’s coming next year.

However, the 40 per cent increase in South Delta prop-

erty values is being more than matched by a 45 per cent increase for North Delta. That suggests apportioning the tax bill — South vs. North — will about the same next year as this year.

If you own a single family home, you will pay a bit more — those values in South Delta are up a whopping 48 per cent, but if you own a townhome you will get some relief as prices have increased only 27 per cent.

Apartment/condo owners will get relief as prices/values are up by only 15 per cent.

In summary, as long as everyone’s property increases in value the same percentage, the tax bill will increase by whatever council decides — be it one per cent or four per cent.

One hope — that taxes will mirror inflation — seems to be long lost. In the past decade we have seen considerable “downloading” of the cost of services from the federal and provincial levels on municipalities. Unless the municipalities can scream louder, that isn’t likely to change.

Maybe we have to plan ahead taxes will be going up!

Another tube won’t work

Editor: Re: Cheaper and faster alternative, letter to the editor, June 1 A reader offers an alternative plan to the bridge crossing of the Fraser River projected to be completed within a few years. The plan, as proposed, is to “drop an extra two-lane addition downstream” from the current tunnel crossing.

First, downstream means to the west in this case and there is no possible space downstream to drop an extra twolane addition. On the Richmond side, a car lot exists where an additional downstream north side roadway would exit the additional two-lanes and on the south end, a housing project is in place.

Perhaps, the writer meant upstream eastward towards another housing development, restaurant and other buildings plus a tad farther on, a park.

That’s on the south side and on the north side, a farm market operation.

Second, additional roadways to accommodate

the suggested “extra twolane” addition on both the south and north sides of the Fraser River will impact on existing land, some of which is farmland and farther south on the southeastern side, Burns Bog. In Richmond, much rejigging of existing roadways would have to be undertaken and some sort of arrangement made with the housing and golf course that abuts Highway 99 to the west and Sidaway Road to the east.

Third, the writer states that, “Concrete sections were lowered over the riverbed and joined together.” My information is that such is correct other than the concrete sections, built onshore and then placed in a trench dug specifically to accommodate them in order that river shipping not be impeded by the height of the concrete sections reducing the usable amount of navigable water.

Fourth, from various media reports, the objective of building a bridge to replace the existing tunnel is to accommodate an anticipated increase

in vehicular traffic on Highway 99 and to allow deep sea vessels to transit farther upstream.

These ships’ draughts are such that they cannot navigate the Fraser River Woodward Reach area.

As with the Alex Fraser Bridge farther upstream, a minimum clearance of 205 feet at high tide is necessary. The existing tunnel and any suggested additional tunnels do not fit the established requirement with respect to ship draughts.

It is possible the writer of the suggested additional tunnels knows information that has not been shared with the public by the authorities and his ideas might have merit if that is the case.

As one who travels through the tunnel several times per week, and sometimes several times per day, always it seems at the wrong time going north when traffic is proceeding south and the reverse of that, the need of an upgrade to the crossing is very much in evidence.

Not a fan of new highway design

Editor: Re: Mess made of access roads, letter to the editor, June 10 Thank you, Peter White.

I also take umbrage with the new design of the access roads onto Highway 17.

The first time I turned onto Highway 17 north from 56th Street, it was dark and raining and I suddenly found myself having to merge, unexpectedly, from the right lane into the next right lane when the traffic was up to 80 km/h.

I sent a letter of complaint to the Corporation of Delta complete with detailed drawings of the hazards of this new

I expect I am not alone in not wishing the skyline of Tsawwassen to change to include highrise buildings.

The generous donation to Delta of 170 hectares of the Southlands will not, I hope, distract us from the proposed building height limit increase that

has been proposed by Hodgins.

While the proposed six-storey buildings are an unwelcome change, the 12- to 20-storey building would be a monstrosity in our village.

I expect that I am not alone in my views.

eventually paint lines that don’t make any sense.

Somebody paid way too much for this project.

The original two lanes on 56th Street turning onto Highway 17 made sense.

I thought asking them to repaint the lines was not asking too much, but it seems the “design consultants” of this “developer-driven” project must have other more important roads to mess with.

It also seems the government exerts no oversight on these highway constructions.

And it also seems there is no highways appeal court.

Then I was advised on March 10 the provincial government was “waiting on some feedback from the design consultants on this developer-driven project...” That is the last I have heard.

So, it looks like anyone who wants to can dig up the highways for 10 months, redirect traffic in very dangerous, tortuous detours, pave, take a few weeks off, re-dig the pavement and pile it off on the side, take a week or two off, pave and then redig it all again, and then

Group effort gets Margaret and her ducklings safely to water

Several local residents and merchants came together recently to help a local duck and her ducklings.

The nest was discovered early last month in the municipal parking lot on Bridge Street. Carol LeVasseur from neighbouring Delta Denture Centre noticed that a mallard duck had made the grass around a utility pole her home for her nest and 10 eggs.

Nicknamed “Margaret the Mallard” by Dave Strutt at Dave’s Pop Culture, the duck was well hidden from the busy parking lot.

Concerned, LeVasseur made some calls and was directed to Canadian Wildlife Rescue. A representative visited the nest and estimated it would be 26 to 30 days before the eggs hatched.

LeVasseur also contacted a Corporation of Delta landscaper, who brought in barriers to cordon off the area to protect the nest from cars and pedestrians.

“Carol kept a watchful eye out for common

across the street,” Rogers said.

A family passing by joined the efforts and drivers patiently waited while Margaret and her babies slowly made it across Bridge Street.

With the slow progress, there was concern the ducklings would get overheated on pavement.

“Mama was great, not once did she attack us during this process,” Rogers said. “It really felt like she knew that we were all working hard to help her and her babies.”

Once the group got to Seafarer Marina, Margaret flew right into the water.

The human contingent, however, couldn’t get close enough to release the ducklings because the gate was closed.

Stephen Leeming and Janice Lawlor-Cooper from Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe worked to get the ducklings into the water with Leeming climbing down the slippery bank.

The one duckling was still having issues, however, and began floundering in the water, still unable to keep its head up.

The duckling was taken to the Delta Community Animal Shelter where it was picked up by Canadian Wildlife Rescue.

“The latest news from Wildlife Rescue is that this little guy is still doing OK,” Rogers said.

Concerts in the Park return First South Delta date for annual summer series set for next Tuesday evening DAVE WILLIS

d w i l l i s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

he first South Delta date for the Corporation of Delta’s annual free summer concert series is scheduled for next Tuesday.

The Delta Music Makers are scheduled to perform at Memorial Park at 7 p.m. as part of the Concerts in the Park series.

“We always have audience-friendly music,” says Music Makers founder and music director Curt Jantzen, adding the show will feature the group’s vocalist and a couple of instrumental soloists.

The band performs a variety of Broadway musicals, concert marches, light classics, pop songs and folk music, according to its website.

Jantzen says his band has been taking part in Concerts in the Park for over three decades.

“It’s close to home and we are a Delta band, so we like to participate in anything we can in Delta,” he says, explaining why the Music Makers keep coming back.

The group has recently grown to 60 members and is coming off another successful edition of the annual Ladner Bandfest.

“We’re known as a band that has a lot of fun. And also a band that travels,” he says on the phone from Whistler, where the group performed last week.

The Corporation of Delta’s Carol Chard says the Concerts in the Park series is free and open to everyone.

“It gives you an opportunity to connect with your neighbours and your friends and be outside and listen to some great music,” she says.

The series has a mix of longtime returning bands like the Music Makers, the Delta Concert Band and Astro’s Collar as well as first-time groups like Rhythm Rush, 5 on a String and Bright Young Things.

Concertgoers are advised to bring a blanket or lawn chair. Concerts are cancelled in inclement weather. To find out if

a concert has been cancelled, call 604-596-4485 or 604-943-9437 the day of the event.

Walking through Blenheim Estate Our public footpath to Woodstock includes Stonesfield Steps, a stairway over the 14-kilometre dry-stone wall surrounding Blenheim Estate.

Ambling through shaded woodlands and pastures, we spot silver pheasants strutting under some gnarly oaks. In the distance stands the lofty Column of Victory amid 2,000-plus acres of Blenheim’s parkland.

Eventually arriving at the column, we study its lofty statue of John Churchill and read about this first Duke of Marlborough’s military triumphs.

Sheep graze on hillsides sloping downward to lakes spanned by a Romanesque bridge.

Beyond stretches World Heritage Blenheim Palace and Woodstock.

Descending through groves of maples, we come to a large green door opening into this village.

Locals prove friendly.

One gent tells us about

former Woodstock Palace, where Queen Mary imprisoned her sister Elizabeth. Another gushes about Blenheim’s many events, “Tonight, I’ll leave my window open to hear Van Morrison.”

At a pub, we enjoy cold brews and steak-and-ale pies. We soon discover our B&B is an 18th century townhouse off market square.

Next morning we pass through Blenheim’s eastern gate toward Lord Marborough’s English baroque palace. Square castle-like towers border the immense, honeystone structure. Entering the west wing, we pass through Kitchen Courtyard into the Grand Courtyard, still set up from last night’s concert.

The palace reflects Britain’s 18th century power. Six massive pillars support the portico; a statue of Britannia stands atop in front of two chained French captives. Sculpted swords and shields flank the main entrance.

Inside the foyer, we

She first recounts John Churchill’s early escapades, military successes and marriage to Sarah, Queen Anne’s beloved lady-in-waiting.

Another room features Lady Sarah pushing for

completion of an underfunded palace. Further chambers introduce other noble descendants, including the 4th Duke known for scientific endeavours and 9th Duke, who married Consuelo Vanderbilt and used her huge dowry to restore the palace.

Joining a group, we tour state apartments filled

with exquisite furniture, family portraits and further reminders of the 1st Duke’s triumphs. The Great Hall’s ceiling pictures him in Roman garb showing Britannia his battle plan for Blenheim.

The Green Writing Room’s tapestry well illustrates the pivotal Bavarian Battle of Blenheim. The dining room table’s silver

centerpiece shows him mounted at Blenheim, dispatching his famed message to Sarah “…tell the Queen that her army has had a glorious victory!”

Three staterooms’ walls display tapestries representing his earlier victories against France. In the second, two illustrate his siege of Bouchain.

These flank a portrait of King Louis XIV, recalling Churchill’s service in the French army’s Royal English Regiment, when he valiantly campaigned for King Louis against Holland.

Christopher Wren designed the adjacent 155metre long picture gallery.

Becoming a library, many of the 1st Duke’s artifacts, given and taken as spoils of war, are displayed.

Portraits of Queen Anne and her husband King William III hang on its east wall.

The Donaldson/Lee garden is one of nine stops on the Point Roberts Garden Tour.

Self-guided tour offers a look at gardens in Point

The Point Roberts Garden Club’s 14th Point Roberts Garden Tour will take place next Sunday.

The self-guided tour, which takes place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., includes afternoon tea and live music from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Point Roberts Community Center on Gulf Road.

The tour, which is biennial, is usually in July, but in response to the early spring, it has been moved up to late June and promises to be spectacular.

This year, there will be nine unique gardens to visit. From a garden designed to complement a 1920s cottage barged to the Point from New Westminster to a true English garden by the seaside to a low maintenance slope-side gem, the gardens are a testament to

port or enhanced driver’s license is required to cross the border.

Tickets will also be available the day of the tour until 2 p.m. at 79 Tyee Dr. (on the right shortly after crossing the border into Point Roberts) as well as at the Blue Heron Gallery (1360 Gulf Rd.) and Nielson’s Building Center (391 Tyee Dr.). No tickets will be sold after 3 p.m. in order to give visitors enough time to tour the gardens.

Each ticket includes a map of Point Roberts clearly marked with the locations of the tour gardens, the afternoon tea and restaurants for those who wish to have lunch.

More information about the tour is available at www.pointrobertsgardenclub.org and on the garden club’s Facebook page.

their owners’ vision and care.

Gardens returning to the tour include favorites from past years — an artist’s palette of pinks, blue and lavender; an Asianinspired peaceful oasis hidden behind a privacy fence; and what has been termed one of the great emerging Northwest Coastal perennial gardens.

Some of the gardens are close to the sea, which make their unique approach to design facing sun, wind and salt worth the visit alone.

Ticket prices are $20 CAN or $15 US per person and are available at the Blue Heron Gallery and Nielson’s Home Building Center in Point Roberts, Harris Nursery in Ladner and Sunnyside Nursery in Tsawwassen. Visitors are reminded that a pass-

The Watoto Children’s Choir will perform in Tsawwassen Sunday.

The Watoto Children’s Choir returns to the South Delta Baptist Church this weekend with its production of Oh What Love!

The African choir, which has been performing in venues across Canada for several months on its current tour, will be in Tsawwassen this Sunday at 10 a.m.

Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled all over the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned and vulnerable. Each of the children in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village.

“After losing my parents I felt alone, with no one to love me. Now I know that God is my father. He loves and cares for me. As I travel on the choir, I am going to show people that God loves them too,” says six-year-old Jackie Nakku.

Watoto founder Gary Skinner says, “God’s heart for the marginalized is not just to see individuals rescued, but rather to see them thrive as their lives are transformed. The stories of the children are real and represent thousands who are experiencing this transformation.”

The production is indicative of emerging, modern Africa, a continent coming out of ruin.

Sarafis receives annual Reynolds Scholarship

The Delta Hospital Foundation announced this week that Anna Sarafis, a graduating student from South Delta Secondary, is the winner of the 2016 Robert T. Reynolds Memorial Scholarship.

This annual scholarship marks its 20th anniversary this year. The Delta Hospital Foundation presented Sarafis with the scholarship on Monday at Delta Hospital. Mrs. Reynolds, wife of the late Robert T. Reynolds, and son Hugh were in attendance.

This $1,000 scholarship is given in recognition of Reynolds’ dedicated community leadership.

He was a member of one of Delta’s pioneering families that worked tirelessly towards the development of a hospital in this municipality. His tenacity and perseverance were contributing factors in the founding of the hospital in 1977.

Reynolds went on to become one of Delta Hospital Centennial Society’s first chairman.

The scholarship is open to all Grade 12 students residing in Delta who intend to undertake postsecondary education.

While maintaining academic excellence throughout her high school years, Sarafis has also proven herself to be a strong leader and an eager contributor to many social causes. She has been deeply involved in the Me to We student leadership club and with the school council.

As well, she initiated a blood drive awareness campaign, Young Blood for Life, to the student body. She has also been involved in dance and co-choreographed the school’s production of Legally Blonde the Musical in 2015.

In the community, Sarafis is an aquatic fitness instructor and lifeguard at Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre.

She volunteered as an instructor in the Specialty Splash program where children with disabilities can learn to swim in a safe and non-intimidating environment.

She will begin studies this fall at the University of B.C. in the kinesiology department.

Breakfast at Centennial Beach is now a Father’s Day tradition

Father’s Day is celebrated in many ways by different cultures and in different countries, but here in South Delta, one of the traditions is having breakfast with dad at the beach.

Hosted by the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club jointly with the Boundary Bay Park Association, the pancake breakfast will be held at Centennial Beach this Sunday between 9 a.m.

and noon.

Breakfast costs $6 for adults and $3 for children.

Fun activities add to the ambience of the event as the band Kindred Spirits entertains and the playground is adjacent.

Volunteers of the Lions Club and Boundary Bay Park Association prepare the breakfast in the Lions Club’s mobile kitchen. As a precaution in case of a change in the weather, tables and seating will be

set up in two large picnic tents.

“Father’s Day has always been set aside to celebrate fatherhood or any paternal figure who has shown guidance and influence in the raising of a child. It truly is meaningful,” says Boundary Bay Park Association president Frank Rogers.

As a member of a religious community that gathers weekly in the heart of Ladner Village, I, like you, have been horrified by the violence that has been shown in the media.

While words may not convey our heartfelt grief, it is necessary to continue to speak out against hatred and violence.

As a member of the Anglican Church of Canada, we band together and speak as one voice.

I would like to share just a part of the Pastoral Letter written by our Anglican bishop of New Westminster, Bishop Melissa Skelton. She writes: To the members of the LGTBQ community: Know that we grieve with you as you mourn the loss

Minister’s Minute ELIZABETH NORTHCOTT

All Saints Anglican Church

of so many whose lives were brutally cut short in Orlando. We pledge to stand with you as you continue to speak out against all acts of discrimination and violence that threaten you and those who support you.

To the members of the Islamic communities in our area and throughout Canada: We stand with you knowing that the violence seen in Orlando or in the actions of terrorists in the Philippines is not consistent with the heart of Islam.

These acts of violence are, in fact, a perversion of Islam. We pledge to stand with you as you continue to be valuable members of our communities and of the great web of spiritual and religious diversity that is Canada.

Together we stand, together we grieve, and together we will continue to work to build a community that is strong and faithful to God who never deserts us even in time of grief.

Ladner Gospel Assembly celebrating four decades

Ladner Gospel Assembly is celebrating 40 years of service to the community.

To mark the occasion, it’s serving a light supper on Sunday, June 26 at 5 p.m. (RSVP 604-946-9179) followed by a celebration program at 6:30 p.m.

Ladner Gospel Assembly was started as a ministry to the youth of South Delta in 1967. The Ladner Bible Hour met in the Ladner Elementary gym every Friday night with up to 135 youth attending.

In 1969, Ray and Marie Webber bought a home in the Cromie Park subdivision and about 70 youth visited every week for Sunday school. Every room in the house was a class, except the washroom.

In 1974, the current property on 44A Avenue was purchased. The modest building was constructed over the next two years entirely by volunteer labour. No material was

It took two years of entirely volunteer labour to construct Ladner Gospel Assembly, which opened on 44A Avenue on June 26, 1976. purchased until there was cash to do it, so on June 26, 1976, the mortgagefree church formally began.

Some of the ministries the church is involved with include AWANA (for young people from kindergarten to Grade 6), youth from age 11 up, and a seniors ministry that visits care homes.

The church hosts a fellowship dinner on the third Sunday of the

month to serve all who wish to come. ALPHA and Christianity Explored have been held for many years, as well as Marriage Enrichment and Parenting Assistance sessions.

Ladner Gospel Assembly also supports missionary endeavours around the world.

Southpointe valedictorian sets sights on legal career Southpointe Academy is an independent, co-educational day school located in Tsawwassen.

The school enrolls 545 students from kindergarten to Grade 12 and is committed to academic excellence, university preparation, leadership and service.

The graduating class of 2016 includes 38 students that have chosen to attend universities both in Canada and the United States.

Congratulations to our graduating class of 2016!

This year’s Valedictorian Brenna Krause has been a student at Southpointe Academy since 2003.

Krause has been an active member of the school community over the years.

She has been involved in the odd theater production over the years, most notably A Midsummer’s Night Dream, and Physics Olympics.

Her greatest involvement in the school, she believes, has been in the school’s public speaking competitions and as a member of student council.

Krause states that both experiences have been incredibly rewarding and have equipped her with skills she plans to nurture and employ in the future.

After she graduates from Southpointe, she will be taking a gap year to do some volunteering and self-discovery, as she

Islestrytosolve7-timechamps Delta will be looking for its first win over Coquitlam on Saturday since 2012 league finals MARK BOOTH

m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Eighteen consecutive games over a four year span.

That’s the size of elephant the Delta Islanders will be carrying on their backs Saturday night when the Coquitlam Adanacs make their only 2016 regular season visit to the Ladner Leisure Centre at 7:30 p.m.

The Adanacs are seven-time defending B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League champions and their 13-00 record suggests there is no reason that dynasty won’t continue.

They also represent the lone dark cloud in what otherwise has been two of the better seasons in franchise history for the Islanders.

A year ago, they made their second ever appearance in the league finals and were swept by Coquitlam. This season, they sit in second place with an 11-3 record.

Two of those losses are to the Adanacs, including a 15-8 setback last week that saw Coquitlam close out the game with seven unanswered goals.

The last time Delta tasted success over the Tri-Cities juggernaut was game two of the 2012 league finals.

“It’s a huge elephant,” admitted Islanders assistant GM and head coach Greg Rennie. “They have confidence. They have poise. They have demeanor. They also have a great goaltender and play a defensive structure in front of him that makes it tough on us.

“It’s important we have a good showing (Saturday). We showed the league last week when we beat New West and got good hold of the

Delta Islanders Brett Andersen closes in on Langley’s Mitch McDole during Wednesday’s 11-7 victory.

No. 2 seed. Now, we need to show we are capable of beating them once we get to the playoffs.”

It may also be a different looking Islanders team should they see the Adanacs again in the post-season.

Rennie admits he is working on potential player transactions that are expected to be finalized within the next couple of weeks. With B.C. teams getting two Minto Cup berths and a roster loaded with graduating players, the Islanders

are seeking help outside of the province for the first time in franchise history.

“Coquitlam is looking to load up, we are looking too and so is New West,” admitted Rennie.

“We seem to have a foot in the door right now with a few deals.

Saturday is the trading deadline within the Ontario league so everything will fall into place after that.

“Once Sunday comes around,

the eastern guys we have been looking at will be settling for cash deals. We have some pretty lucrative deals on the table right. We are excited. I love being a buyer at this time of the season.”

The Islanders picked up their third straight win Wednesday with an 11-7 triumph over a feisty fifth place Langley Thunder team that is on the verge of being a solid contender over the next couple of years.

Roberts selected for double duty with provincial teams

Lacrosse standout Danielle Roberts will be seeing double duty with B.C. teams this summer.

The Grade 10 Tsawwassen resident has been named to the roster of Team B.C.’s senior girls squad that will be participating in next month’s 2016 World Youth Lacrosse Tournament in Coquitlam. The event, that will feature U19 women’s teams, is being held as part of the FIL U19

Danielle Roberts

Men’s World Championships — July 7-16. Team B.C. will also be participating at tournaments in Palm Spring and Florida over the next year.

Roberts won’t have much time to recover before joining the B.C. midget girls box lacrosse team for the nationals in Calgary — July 18-23.

Roberts is looking forward to wearing B.C. colours for the first

time, having played for Team Alberta the past three seasons.

She has been coached since her days at the Novice level by her dad Glen Roberts and his good friend Steve Henry — both who played for the Delta Junior Islanders.

Currently, Roberts is enrolled in the Delta Secondary School Lacrosse Academy where she is coached by Scott Campbell and Josh Neuman.

OUR CLIENTS ARE TALKING! I am delighted to take this opportunity to commend Re/Max Progroup Realty Group, and two of its Realtors in parKcular.

My recent experience with selling my home and purchasing a new residence was very exciKng and, as always, somewhat stressful. However, it was not fraught with suspense, disappointment, and frustraKon as it well could have been. For this, I would like to give hearLelt and sincere thanks to my realtors, Aileen Noguer and Joanne Evans.

This is not my first Kme working with these realtors, and not the first Kme I have been impressed with their professionalism, experKse, and most importantly, genuine caring aJtude. I highly recommend this team to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in South Delta.

Sincerely,

THIS IS WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US LATELY “Working with the Chancey’s on our sale this Spring was a great experience. Their inside knowledge of the Ladner Market was a key to the overall success of the sale. Most important to us though was that the communication was clear, we were always understood and never had to ask for anything twice or felt any pressure. I already have and certainly recommend the Chancey team” - Rob in Ladner “Thank you so much Linda! Bob and you have gone above and beyond (as always!). Diane and I really appreciate all you have done for us.”

Best Regards, Brian, Tsawwassen “When I decided to list my house I remembered so many examples, good and bad, of others’ experiences in selling their homes. There is a common denominator for success, the Agent. A good Agent sells and a not so good Agent sits and waits. The Chanceys are not sitters, they are SELLERS. I chose them because of their experience, knowledge and achievements in the Real Estate industry. There are few people who can keep up to their professionalism, determination and commitment to their clients. The results were phenomenal. Thank you. The Chanceys will always be my first recommendation in Real Estate.”

“We used Blake as our REALTOR®. He was Awesome! He was always patient and wanted us to be happy at all stages of selling and buying! He sold our house fast and helped us find our perfect forever home. He always had our families best interest at heart. Our small son loved the days he got to see Blake and his white truck. We recommend Blake and the Chancey team to anyone buying and or selling their home. We are forever grateful for his hard work and can’t wait to have him over to our new home.

WESTLAKE, Garfield (Gar) June 25, 1929 - June 7, 2016

Facilities, Mobile Operator

To know Gar was to love Gar. Gar passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 7th. He is survived by his loving wife, Margaret; daughters Shelley Krauss (Stan) and Barb; three grandchildren, Chris, Trevor and Pricilla; one great granddaughter, Christy-Anna.

Gar was born in Bayfield, Ontario and moved to BC at the age of 17 to join his brother, Bill, in the road construction industry. He worked for AC MacEachern Ltd. on the coast and on Vancouver Island.

Gar became a Charter Member of the Lions Club in 1967. The family moved from Gold River to Tsawwassen in 1972 and Gar continued his membership with the Tsawwassen-Boundary Bay Lions Club. He enjoyed his 49 years of Lionism and served in many executive positions.

He established Westlake Contracting and operated this company, together with Bill in the South Delta area. He chaired the Tsawwassen Sun Festival Committee for many years. His great delight was his friends and family including the McDonald’s coffee group.
