Delta police step in to deal with mall traffic SANDOR GYARMATI

New home not so suite Single mom must vacate as Delta takes aim at non-compliant units

A Tsawwassen single mom feels under the gun by Delta’s stringent secondary suite regulations. Renting a suite on 16A Avenue for the past several months, Christina Shellard has

been told by her landlord she has to vacate following a bylaw inspection where deficiencies were found with the unit. Having moved there with her 10-year-old daughter Sienna, Shellard says she’s frustrated because they’ve already settled into the neighbourhood and her daughter is going to a nearby

Francophone school. “I lived in Richmond for five years and wanted to move back here. I found this place on Craigslist but now they’re saying the ceiling is too low in the bedroom and they have to increase the size of the windows. I would like to stay here but need the time to at least find somewhere

else. It’s impossible for this price range.” Shellard’s unit is just one of many Delta staff have found, either through online advertisements, complaints or other means, in an ongoing, proactive approach to dealing with non-compliant suites. CIVIC: see Page 3

Traffic will be monitored to ensure things don’t get out of hand. Delta police had that to say following traffic chaos during opening weekend at Tsawwassen Mills. The mall was busy during last Wednesday’s grand opening but didn’t have lineups along Highway 17. That certainly wasn’t the case on the long weekend, however, especially on Saturday when an estimated 50,000 people arrived during the day. A long lineup in the right lane of Highway 17 just to get to the mall stretched well past the intersection at 56th Street, but even bigger problems were experienced in the mall’s parking lot for people trying to exit, many venting their frustration on social media. It prompted Delta police to take direct control of managing the flow. Police spokesperson Sharlene Brooks told the Optimist that an operational plan was in place ahead of the mall’s opening, done in collaboration with Tsawwassen Mills, traffic control personnel and the RCMP, to address the safe movement of vehicles. She noted an increase in volume was anticipated on the long weekend, but Saturday and Sunday proved to be a challenge. POLICE: see Page 3

The storm watch is on across the South Coast as a series of powerful storms are expected to provide quite a punch this weekend. Heavy rain and winds blew through the Lower Mainland Wednesday and Thursday, but those are expected to pale in comparison to what is anticipated tonight and throughout the day tomorrow. Saturday’s weather system will bring the remnants of powerful Typhoon Songda with drenching rains and potentially damaging winds. Dangerous storm conditions are expected to last through the overnight hours into Sunday. By Monday evening, a fourth low is expected to push onto the coast with heavy rain and gusty southeasterly winds. The Corporation of Delta has been in storm prep mode since Wednesday morning when

CONTINUED from Page 1 “Subsequently, adjustments were made to the plan to increase some resources as well as change the exit plan. I know that on Sunday we made some adjustments and then again on Monday, allowing more traffic to exit,” she explained. One of the adjustments, Brooks noted, included officers turning one of the entrance lanes into a temporary exit to allow more flow out of the centre. Noting traffic should be better now the holiday weekend has come and gone, Brooks said additional resources were in place to deal with the expected volume, which was seen as a special event and will be billed back to the mall. She added the situation will be monitored, especially with the upcoming Christmas shopping season. “We will be monitoring that, especially around those times. We know that’s becoming a trend

Municipal crews were in Boundary Bay this week to install temporary flood protection berms. engineering crews were out in force. Delta has closed beach access points and worked most of the day Wednesday and Thursday installing temporary flood protection berms in Boundary Bay and Beach

to have a Black Friday by some retailers in Canada. I’m not sure what their plan is for a Black Friday special or Christmas shopping, but one of our officers will be in contact and liaising with Tsawwassen Mills, should they request additional resources in those times to assist with traffic control,” she said. The mall issued a couple of Twitter posts on Saturday apologizing for the inconvenience, stating it’s working with Delta police, but when contacted by the Optimist this week GM Mark Fenwick said he couldn’t provide further comment. Noting a report on last weekend’s situation, including drone footage, will be coming to Delta council this month, Delta CAO George Harvie said the situation looked dangerous for pedestrians, highlighting the need for a pedestrian overpass at 52nd Street. He also said there’s been a few complaints from Imperial Village

Grove. Crews have also been out inspecting culverts and pump stations to ensure they are in good working order. “Engineering are taking precautions, blocking off the beach access areas and

residents about shoppers electing to park in that neighbourhood. Coun. Sylvia Bishop said she believes things will ease. “The mall is the shiny new penny everyone wants to explore. I expect things to calm down in a few weeks when things normalize and the shine has worn off, just like McArthur Glen outlet mall in Richmond,” she said. A second mall adjacent to Tsawwassen Mills, Tsawwassen Commons, which has around 100 stores, including a large Walmart, will be opening in phases over the coming months, bringing even more traffic. Four years ago, a Delta engineering department report, using projected traffic figures from the Tsawwassen First Nation’s own consultant, concluded the extensive upgrades planned for Highway 17 and local roads would likely not alleviate the full impacts of developments at the First Nation.

strengthening areas that have been vulnerable over the years in the Boundary Bay area and Beach Grove,” said CAO George Harvie. “We are just preparing and if an event happens, we are able to respond as

quickly as possible. It’s not our first event, so we are pretty good at working on these things. If we can stop some of the water coming in, it makes recovery that much easier.” A Delta press release notes it is important for residents to remove any leaves from drains to help prevent street flooding. Also, the public is urged to stay away from the shoreline and nearby areas for safety reasons and to allow crews to respond effectively and immediately. Sand piles and sandbags have been delivered for local residents at Seaview Road, 1A Avenue, 3rd Avenue and 16th Avenue. Municipal staff members are closely monitoring weather conditions and the Emergency Operations Centre is on standby. To report issues related to municipal services, call 604-946-4141. Residents can also keep up to date on weather conditions on Delta’s website at www. delta.ca as well as through its social media channels.

Civic unit taking proactive approach to enforcement CONTINUED from Page 1 “When it comes to whether family is in the house or someone renting it out, bylaws proactively enforces. If you’re renting it out, if we get complaints from neighbours or we see advertisements through ads, if we see an MLS listing that says there’s a suite in it, we go after those ones. We have a unit and that’s what they do,” explained civic bylaws manager Hugh Davies in a recent interview. Davies said Delta’s secondary suite program, which launched in 2010 to legalize units and make them compliant with health and safety regulations, has been successful. “We’re now getting in the process where we are visiting those ones with occupancy permits and double checking to make sure that they are following the rules. That includes making sure they have the parking space for the tenants. We’re doing that on an annual basis and have a

separate unit that goes out and checks on secondary suites,” he said. “The bylaw unit from what it was in the past to what it is today is quite different. We’re much more proactive. Our job is to keep the standards up in the neighborhood and we get a lot of people asking us to help.” As of July of this year, homeowners who wanted to apply to legalize their secondary suites can no longer do it under that suite program, which has been phased out. All applications to legalize suites now have to undergo a different permitting process through the community planning and development department. “So the program ran its course. We got pretty close to 3,000 suites identified. So everyone has had a few years to get them done and that was coming to a natural end because the number of applications was dropping down.”

Enrollment has levelled off in the Delta School District. The numbers presented by staff at the Delta board of education’s public meeting Tuesday indicate the district currently stands at 15,270 pupils, up 13 from last year. Assistant superintendent Nancy Gordon said that’s pretty close to what had been projected for 2016/17. In North Delta, enrollment at elementary schools is up 89 but down 62 at the secondary school level. In South Delta, elementary enrollment is down over 60, but the number of high school students is up by more than 50. Gordon noted the drop in Ladner and Tsawwassen elementary enrollment was anticipated but it’s also expected to rise in the next few years with new developments in South Delta as well as the

Tsawwassen First Nation. Like most school districts in B.C., Delta had been suffering from declining enrollment for years, which has had a negative effect on annual operating budgets. Recently, however, that trend has come to an end and, in fact, the district was up over 100 kids last year. The district has benefited from retaining and attracting new students with an increasing number of academy programs, but there’s also well over 1,000 kids coming from Surrey to enroll in Delta schools. The current projection is for enrollment to remain fairly level for the next couple of years before moderate, steady increases begin. Board chair Laura Dixon described this period as “the plateau years” when it comes to enrollment. The numbers, meanwhile, don’t include over 600 students enrolled in Delta’s International Student Program. It’s

become an important source of revenue, generating well over $7 million the previous year. Revenue from international students has increased steadily in the past few years as district personnel has successfully sold the positives of Delta to students from dozens of countries. Those revenues have been useful as the district continues to face annual budget shortfalls despite enrollment leveling off and moderate increases to the provincial government’s per-pupil funding. This past spring, for example, the board had to make several cuts due to a $3.38 million operating deficit. However, after this year’s budget was approved, the Ministry of Education freed up $690,000 Delta was forced to come up with in administrative cuts, money that now doesn’t have to go to Victoria. The board has earmarked that money for additional learning staff and resources.

Amnesty offers chance to surrender firearms Police to pick up weapons throughout October IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Deltans can turn over unwanted and unauthorized firearms, ammunition and weapons to the Delta Police Department during a provincial Gun Amnesty program throughout October. Those wanting to surrender ammunition or weapons, including imitation firearms and replicas, can contact Delta police, which will have an officer visit their residence to pick up the firearms. The public should not bring the firearms, ammunitions or weapons to police headquarters. Contact Delta police at 604-946-4411 for more information. “Please do not come to the door with a firearm in hand,” said Delta police public relations spokesperson Sharlene Brooks. “Leave the firearm (and/ or ammunition) within the location for police to make the weapon safe and

transport it.” Brooks said there were a total of 57 firearms turned over to Delta police in the previous amnesty period, which took place in 2013. “Many people inherit firearms or keep them as souvenirs without realizing the risk these and all weapons pose in the wrong hands,” Sharlene Brooks said Minister ported by all municipal of Public Safety police departments in B.C. and Solicitor General Similar amnesties held Mike Morris. “The upcomin 2006 and 2013 yielded ing Gun Amnesty is an important part of the work more than 5,000 firearms — including 900 handguns we are doing with police and two machine guns agencies throughout the — plus approximately province to stop guns and 127,500 rounds of ammugangs in B.C.” nition.

Waterfront redevelopment still on hold Nothing is going to happen until province can provide developers with longer-term leases 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

There’s change occurring all around, but it’s still the same old look at Ladner Harbour. Still awaiting a provincial determination on long-term water lot leases, Delta has no redevelopment on the books for the waterfront and it appears nothing will be done there anytime soon. “The port used to be the ones in charge of it (water lot leases) even though it was under the purview of the province, but then they got out of that business. Now it’s solely the province’s jurisdiction and we have to negotiate getting something done with them, but it’s just like watching molasses in 20-below, it is so slow and they keep telling us, ‘Oh well, next year,’” said Mayor Lois Lois Jackson. “I have no idea why it’s taking these lawyers so long to get this completed. We’ve been on this for the last two or three years. We try to be very patient but this seems to be an inordi-

The Seven Seas property, which is seen as a catalyst for waterfront redevelopment, sits empty. nate amount of time that it’s taking, so we’ve got to try to press a little harder.” Port Metro Vancouver had been managing provincially-owned water lots for the government, subleasing and regulating activities, but the port pulled out when its agreement with Victoria expired at the end of 2014. The province has taken over managing the foreshores, but hasn’t offered current or prospective leaseholders, including many float home owners or businesses, long-term tenure,

which means the Deltaowned Seven Seas site, which was put up for sale, isn’t a particularly attractive place to make a big investment. In an interview last fall, Sean McGill, Delta’s director of human resources and corporate planning, said the Forest, Lands and Natural Resources Ministry is now in charge of the water lots and it was in consultation with First Nations. He noted the province was only willing to offer two-year leases, but investors won’t be

interested in redevelopment unless guaranteed longer term deals, which is making any kind of economic development difficult. Jackson said nothing has changed and they’re still waiting. Delta’s multi-million dollar revitalization and beautification project for the village core, scheduled for completion this fall, is expected to help attract visitors and stimulate new business, but the Seven Seas property and the adjacent Chisholm Street

parcel formerly occupied by the Brackman-Ker warehouse are seen as a catalyst for major redevelopment and revitalization at the waterfront. However, they remain empty. Until the lease issue is resolved, it doesn’t look like much will happen when it comes to the redevelopment of the waterfront strip, a key part of the South Delta Business Sustainability Strategy. The strategy is aimed at providing incentives to redevelop and revitalize

parts of the community to help businesses adjust to life alongside mega malls that will open this October at the Tsawwassen First Nation. “I would love to see it go back to the flavour of a village atmosphere. Anything that we build there, and I’ve been saying this to the planners in particular, anything that is being built, renovated or changed in Ladner Village should look like a village. That’s what we’re trying to do, is create that tourist factor, that cute little old-fashioned façade that attracts people,” said Jackson. “It could be one of our best shots at getting people to come into Ladner to shop… obviously we’re a long way from there but that’s what I’d like to see.” Delta has already approved a new waterfront mixed-use zone for the municipal-owned parcels that would permit a wide range of uses. Delta will send a delegation to Victoria this fall for a meeting on the water lot issue.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

ou only have to look through the history books to see why the Liberals have their eyes on Delta South. The constituency, which was created back in 1991 when the province eliminated those dual-member ridings, instantly went Liberal, one of 17 won by Gordon Wilson’s upstart party in that landscape-shifting election. The late Fred Gingell, who entered the race with less than three weeks to go and spent less than one-tenth what the incumbent did, managed to win by more than 2,000 votes, a margin he expanded to more than 7,000 votes in the 1996 election. Delta South was considered such a safe Liberal seat that after Gingell’s passing, a half-dozen hopefuls battled it out for the party’s nomination, a race won by Val Roddick, who went on to win the subsequent by-election with almost 60 per cent of the vote. Roddick received two out of every three votes in the 2001 general election in what was a high water mark for the party locally. By 2005, with cuts to Delta Hospital hanging over her head, Roddick narrowly retained the seat with just 37 per cent of the vote in an election that signaled times were changing. More unpopular decisions, including routing high voltage power lines through Tsawwassen, followed, allowing independent Vicki Huntington to knock off Liberal heavyweight Wally Oppal in 2009. A riding where the NDP has never received 30 per cent of the vote, and more often than not gets 15 per cent or less, should be fertile ground for the Liberals, but Huntington, who appeals to voters up and down the political spectrum, has wrestled it away. Her initial victory was looked upon as a protest vote, but it should be noted that Huntington has gone from 8,000 votes in her unsuccessful try in 2005 to 10,000 when she won for the first time to more than 11,000 last time, so if it’s a case of voters being mad, well, it appears they haven’t been in a good mood for quite some time. Although it could well have started as a protest, many voters have become comfortable with the notion of an independent and haven’t seen the need to return to the Liberal fold. That’s a hill to climb, for sure, but the Liberals can take some comfort in the fact they did win the riding in five straight elections.

Historic Memorial Park pays tribute to our fallen soldiers

emorial Park might be Delta’s oldest park and surely its most significant due to its cultural and heritage past. In early times, the community frequented the park to watch the Ladner high school’s baseball team and the senior men’s box lacrosse compete in league action. The park is the site for the province’s second oldest May Day celebrations enjoyed by generations. Now the park plays host to highly competitive fastball teams. In 1919, the park was the vision of residents to establish a park and athletic grounds for the people of Delta. As part of the park, a monument to fallen soldiers from Delta was commissioned in remembrance of those who had perished in the First World War. The Delta Memorial Park Association was formed to raise private funds. Four acres were purchased from the estate of William Ladner. Aptly named Memorial Park, the cenotaph was unveiled on May 22, 1921 by H.N. Rich, a noted Ladner businessman whose only son Sidney died on the battlefield at Ypres. The unveiling took place amongst a large gathering of military, sombre families and respectful friends. The governments of Canada and Europe agreed to leave the bodies from the two world wars in dedi-

cated gravesites where they lay. Cenotaphs erected across the country became the grieving sites for families of lost soldiers. In 1921, 27 names of Delta lads who died in the First World War were etched on the granite cenotaph. There is a story behind each of those names and the names added for those lost in the Second World War, Korea and Afghanistan. Peter Broznitsky, a Ladner resident and First World War researcher, has stated, “When their names are no longer spoken, are they forgotten?” Fortunately, these memorials continue to be well attended by citizens paying respect to their memory. Losing 27 young men from a small Delta population was a shock to the community. Broznitsky’s research touches on Ladner lacrosse history, which has been written about in past

columns. Six young men from the Westham Island Maple Leafs enlisted in the First World War. Four of them, Stanley Smith, Jack E. Falk, Geoffrey McCallum and Basil French, died in battle and their names are on the cenotaph. It is but one of many stories as we approach the coming memorial service. The remnants of the pear orchard from the “historic Ladner property” remain a backdrop to the ceremonial service. As a young boy, I made a few dollars in the annual harvesting of pears and delivered the daily newspaper to the storied Ladner home, which is long since demolished. The volunteer association continued to operate the park and maintain the cenotaph until 1956. The property and the assets were turned over to the Corporation of Delta and in the care of the public works department. In 1989, wheelchair access and steps were added to the cenotaph with funds and labour provided by Ladner Legion and its members. The Corporation of Delta needs to improve the acoustically challenged public address system to ensure the large turnout will actually hear and feel included in the ceremonial dialogue. And a good night to you, Peter. A fourth generation Ladnerite, Doug Husband is a former mayor of Delta.

Parking nightmare at mall

Editor: The opening of Tsawwassen Mills was supposed to be an exciting event, which is why I joined the lineup of stopand-go traffic and inched toward one of entrances over the Thanksgiving weekend. From the lineup of vehicles attempting to get into the mall, I assumed I was not the only one who wanted to see the layout, the shops, the artful displays, the fish tank with live sturgeon and the skin of a bear, all with the chance of winning prizes and getting great deals. However, when I finally made it into the parking area, I was directed by the parking attendants to turn away from where I wanted

to go, Bass Pro Shops, toward the other end of the mall. As instructed, I inched passed blocked off parking areas by parking attendants who kept waving our convoy of eager consumers to keep moving. No, you cannot turn here. No, you cannot park there. There was swearing, not only from the frustrated customers who could not get where they wanted to go, but also from the parking attendants, who were showing off their middle fingers, ineffectively directing traffic, yelling and taking photographs of cars. I understand parking attendants had a difficult job, however, it is a job that requires a calm and professional manner.

I had nearly driven around the entire shopping footprint when Bass Pro Shops was just around the corner, just beyond another frustrated parking attendant who stood in the middle of the lane, yelling, head shaking and gesturing me toward the exit. Happily, I did as instructed and drove away from the gridlock nightmare of Tsawwassen Mills and the cursive parking attendants to my favourite shopping centre where I was treated as a valued customer. The parking attendants at the new mall gave a very bad first impression of Tsawwassen Mills, but that is just one consumer’s opinion. Gwenda Davies

Let’s see plan for entire redevelopment Editor: Re: Century looks to redevelop Town Centre, Oct. 5 The Optimist recently reported that Century Group is making an application to build a six-storey mixed-use building on the Town Centre Mall site as the first step of a massive redevelopment of the mall. A public information meeting is scheduled for some time in the future but no time frame has been set. In a project of this magnitude and impor-

tance to the citizens of Tsawwassen, the total redevelopment plans should be approved before permission is given to start work on any part of this redevelopment. Century’s vision of a new “green heart” for Tsawwassen is a trifle high minded when it represents only one-half of what people think of as the town centre. Maybe if the rezoning that is required to start this project is approved it could possibly be an incentive for the owners of the properties on the

east side of 56th Street to apply for similar rezoning. Then we would have a true green heart. It is time for Delta’s planning department to become fully engaged with this proposed development so that as Tsawwassen’s green heart expands to both sides of the street they are not only compatible with each other but aesthetically pleasing. With the recent developments along the street this may be a challenge to all concerned. Geof. Hacker

Mall traffic spills into neighbourhood Editor: I assume that was some conversation between Tsawwassen Mills management and the Corporation of Delta about traffic management. Maybe it went something like this: Delta: What are your traffic management plans for opening week? Mills: We have 6,000 parking spots! Delta: What are your plans if there are 7,000 cars opening week? Mills: They can park in the residential neighbourhood of Imperial

Village and when that is full there is a parking lot at Tsawwassen Springs! Delta: What are your plans when some of those 6,000 cars want to leave your mall? Mills: Why would they want to do that? Last week we picked up garbage from our front lawns. Our guests couldn’t park in front of our homes. Children and adults were in danger from frantic motorists trying to get to and from the mall. We even saw motorists doing U-turns through intersections marked by four stop

signs. They even pulled U-turns around a police car when it was stopped in the middle of that intersection and it seems that my front door has become the official pick up/drop off spot for shoppers. Shame on you, Tsawwassen Mills. You showed total incompetence with your planning. And double shame on you, Corporation of Delta, you allowed this to happen, which means your planning department is suspect as well. Greg Weal

Stop using police as flag people on Annacis Island Editor: Since when did Annacis Island become a country club island and not accessible to other tax-paying citizens? Should we be barricading our streets to prevent those who do not live on that street to use it?

We have huge concerns in Delta such as car thefts, overdose deaths, etc., but we are using our police force as traffic flag people. It’s a joke. I appeal to Mayor Lois Jackson to revisit the use of our resources and enough

is enough. You cannot restrict who can use Annacis Island. Deploy the police force to where we need them, remove the barricades and any other initiatives in the pipeline immediately. Harjeet Kaur

Burns Bog Society helping students step into nature Local students got an up-close and handson experience with the environment during last week’s Stepping into Nature Festival. The four-day education festival gave both elementary and high school students an opportunity to connect with their natural environment, practice leadership and to learn about the environment through interactive activities, explained Burns Bog Conservation Society communications coordinator Aliyah Khan. The society’s website noted the festival was made up of 10 stations, led by South Delta Secondary Strive Program students, within the Delta Nature Reserve and along Lower Cougar Creek with handson activities that link curriculum outcomes to outdoor education. Khan said one station saw students test water quality while another had them looking at bugs in a creek to determine if the creek is healthy.

Southlands Update

Fall 2016

First in a series of project updates regarding the Southlands in Tsawwassen.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS This past July, Delta Council gave fourth and ﬁnal reading to the Southlands plan, granting approval for Century Group to begin work on this new community. It marked the culmination of more than a decade of intensive collaborative community planning, and opened the door to initiate site preparation for the development. Since August, site servicing work has begun on and around Southlands, starting with the building of a construction vehicle access road at 56 Street. This road created a construction staging area in the middle of the property, rather than along the periphery, which helps to minimize traffic disruptions. The access road and staging area are being used to haul in granular ﬁll. A new road that will connect 56 Street with the Southlands Market District is currently being constructed. In mid-September, construction work began on a new sanitary sewer force main on Boundary Bay Road. Currently, the Boundary Bay sanitary system is running beyond its intended design capacity. The sanitary improvement project will replace a half-century old asbestos-concrete force main that services Boundary

Bay, increasing the capacity of the sewer main. The main sewer pipe and pump system will also be upgraded. Directional drilling along Gillespie Road in Beach Grove is currently underway for a force main that will connect to the Gillespie Road Pump Station. A section of sanitary sewer on Gillespie Road (between Vardon and 16th Avenue) is not suitable for directional drilling, so excavation is occurring in that section of roadway. The road section will be completely repaved once work is done. By mid-November, the sanitary improvement project along Boundary Bay Road is expected to be completed. Granular ﬁll will continue to be imported to the Southlands site via 56th Street through 2017. A new water connection from the Pebble Hill reservoir down 4th Avenue is expected to start in early 2017.

Status of Earthwise Gardens

Farming Activity

Homes at Southlands

The area on Southlands leased by Earthwise Society for $1 per year is not being signiﬁcantly altered, consistent with our assurances to the community and to Earthwise. However, the temporary Earthwise Farm that is not part of the lease is located right where work will commence soon on the new Southlands Market Square.

The majority of the Southlands land will be used for agriculture and local food production. The plan will transfer 80% of Southlands’ private land (430 acres) to the Municipality of Delta, of which approximately 300 acres is farmland of various quality and condition. The balance of approximately 130 acres of land is dedicated for new public parks and natural habitat areas. Century Group is also leasing back 50 acres of agricultural land adjacent to the development to activate various forms of small-scale agriculture use, including the future Earthwise Farm component. A $9 million Agricultural Fund contributed by Century Group to the Corporation of Delta will help fund both drainage and irrigation improvements on site to enhance and newly activate farmland. We are working cooperatively with Delta to ensure that our servicing work complements the design of these improvements to the farm areas.

Information regarding the home types at Southlands will be available by late 2017. Century Group anticipates the first release of homes will be a mix of cottages, townhomes and single-family homes. As we prepare to create a new presentation centre for the Southlands community, the Cottage Courtyard display at Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall has closed indefinitely. Construction on the first phase of homes at Southlands is anticipated to begin mid-2018 with homes ready for occupancy by mid-2019. For now, Century Group will focus on completing site servicing work that will continue through 2017.

“And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:17 Any good parent can tell you once you start negotiating and compromising values, bed times and responsibilities with your kids, you will open the gates for lots of confusion, manipulation and, therefore, misinterpretation. The same happens in all areas of our life. Being flexible and willing to change is crucial but that is very different from compromising.

tial breakthrough, believe for an average marriage, embrace a lukewarm faith. The Bible tells us chose life or death, be hot or cold, but don’t sit on the fence. We have to wake up to the subtle thief of com-

promise. So today, in leading and in loving, let’s bring clarity, not confusion. Too often the confusion in our homes, churches and relationships is because what we thought was clear has become compromised and now confusion is in people’s hearts and minds. Today be a person of your word, be a consistent follower, a faithful friend, a trustworthy teacher. Be “all in” where you are planted. Be available to those you have committed to.

Mix Breed Rabbit, White with Brown, Spayed Female Adult, (Approximately 4 years old)

Floss came to the shelter as a stray intact female rabbit. We suspect she was owned at some point as she’s quite friendly and easy to handle. Floss is quite a little personality, she’s often found interacting with anyone or anything in the room. She’ll follow you back and fourth along her pen and she’s always on alert for anything new to explore. Floss does seem interested in the other bunnies at the shelter but unfortunately some of them do not share her interests. Come visit this sweet little girl.

The lights will be on in Ladner Village later this month. The Ladner Business Association (LBA) launched a gofundmecampaign in late August with the goal of raising $30,000 to light up the village. Jill McKnight, a business association board member from South Coast Casuals, said the group is excited with the progress of the campaign. “We are at about $8,800 right now and it has been going great. We’ve had a couple of larger donations come in and we are seeing more and more of our local businesses getting involved, so we are really excited about the response,” said McKnight. “It’s important to note that this is a three-year campaign and that we can start the project without all the money. An initial order has been put in for the lights to start. We won’t be able to put up all

the strings, but we have a good starting point and we hope to be able to make an impression and get some of the lights up in the next couple of weeks.” She said the idea is to get the project started and then fill in the additional trees as more money is raised. “I think as people start to see it happen then they may be more inclined to donate as well,” she added. The goal is to light up trees on 48th Avenue, Delta Street and Haviland Street with clear LED lights. These lights will remain up for a minimum of five months of the year and will be timed to light the village from dusk to 11 p.m. Additionally, historic placards will be installed next spring to highlight some of the extensive history of the village. These placards will coincide with the walking map currently in development by the LBA. Besides the online gofundmecampaign, several Ladner businesses are

Development work taking place on the Southlands has impacted Earthwise’s operations but its farm store will remain open for another couple of months.

Farm store remains open despite many Earthwise changes

In spite of many changes happening at Earthwise, the Earthwise Farm Store remains open. It will be open every Wednesday until Nov. 5 from 2 to 6 p.m., and every Saturday until Dec. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Earthwise Farm Store sells seasonal selections of certified organic produce, including kale, Asian and mustard greens, carrots, beets and winter squash. It also sells select local products such as honey and artisanal health and beauty wares. Proceeds from the store are invested right back into the community as they support the non-profit society’s educational and community programs.

The Earthwise Garden also remains open to the public. It welcomes school groups and offers a range of programs, including “eco-tours” for youth and adult educational workshops. In addition, Earthwise will continue to run its therapeutic horticulture, food security and youth education programs. Development taking place at the Southlands has impacted Earthwise operations, but the organization is hopeful its farm can be maintained in some form. For program listings or more information, visit www.earthwisesociety.bc.ca. Earthwise is located at 6400-3rd Ave. in Boundary Bay.

Sharing his story with art Robert Bateman to visit Tsawwassen as part of book tour later this month 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

ne of Canada’s most wellknown artists will be in Tsawwassen for a public presentation later this month. Robert Bateman will give a talk, My Life in Art, at the South Delta Recreation Centre as part of a book tour for his recent release, Life Sketches: A Memoir. Bateman, 86, says he’s looking forward to it, noting he has fun telling stories and sharing ideas and that he’ll probably be “ranting a little bit” on environmental issues as well. The artist and naturalist’s autobiography is said to provide access into his creative process and detail his artistic vision and the inspiration behind his art. It also includes new illustrations from Bateman, who grew up in Toronto and eventually moved to Saltspring Island. He is known for his work depicting wildlife in its habitat “My life goes on a certain track and my art goes on a little bit different track, so I did a number of new ones I felt fit into the pacing of the book,” he explains. Asked if it was hard to pick out which personal stories to include in the book, Bateman says with a chuckle that it wasn’t his job, noting that task fell to the editors and others who put the book together. He says he gave hours

Artist and naturalist Robert Bateman’s work has appeared in exhibitions around the world. and hours of interviews for the project, telling stories from his life, which has included many adventures. Telling stories is one of his favourite things to do, he says. “I’ve always been that way. I was that way as a high school teacher for 20 years. I’m always telling

stories to my family and grandkids and all that kind of thing.” Bateman travelled the world in the late 1950s in a Land Rover and later spent two years teaching high school in Nigeria. He has garnered numerous awards and honours over his career, including becoming an Officer of the

Order of Canada. Bateman has received over a dozen honourary doctorates in addition to having multiple schools named after him. His art has appeared in exhibitions around the world, while the Robert Bateman Centre, a facility in Victoria designed to house and preserve

his legacy, opened a few years ago and “displays the definitive collection” of his work. Bateman is scheduled to be at the South Delta Recreation Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. for his My Life in Art talk. Register online for a free ticket at http://bit. ly/2e9Xbt5.

Author continues crime series with Darkest One 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

Author Marty Allen is coming back to Ladner with his second entry in his crime novel series. Allen, who lives in Steveston, will be at the local Black Bond Books for a signing event next month for The Darkest One. The novel follows the same main character, RCMP Cpl. James Vaanes, as he tackles multi-

ple homicide cases on Vancouver Island. “It may be a tad darker,” says Allen, comparing this new book to his debut novel. “His major crimes unit is once again mired in a stark murder, but the list of possible suspects for the despised victim is long and personal,” according to the new novel’s back cover. “Only days after the first murder, a gruesome discovery is made further

north, splitting the team in two, stretching their resources thin.” Allen has already started working on the third book of the series. He will be at Black Bond Books in Ladner on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 1 to 3 p.m. FILE PHOTO

“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson At this time of year, most of us gather with our loved ones, share a special meal and thank those that prepared it. But how many of us go further and truly express our thanks for those around us, or reflect on life’s positive aspects on a regular basis? What impact does this have on

our overall health? Research shows there are significant health benefits to “counting your blessings.” Showing our gratitude in different ways can enhance both our creative and problem solving abilities, reduce negative psychological mindsets, lower blood pressure, strengthen coping mechanisms, foster positive social relationships at home and work, and decrease loneliness. Gratitude also has a positive effect on selfconfidence, self-worth and self-esteem, and can even lead to better sleep and stronger immune systems. While our motivation is well-intended, starting a regular gratitude practice has the potential to lose steam over time. Donating to a charity or paying kindness forward are two of the ways we typically show our care and compassion. There are creative alternatives that can express our gratitude in a tangi-

ble way while reaping its health benefits: 1. Gratitude journal: each day, write down five things you are thankful for. Review them each week. Yes, this is a common suggestion, but research shows that reflective writing can help us to better cope with negative events in our life and helps us digest our concerns by putting things in perspective. 2. Gratitude crafts: use small river rocks, a tree branch or even a pumpkin as a place to record personalized messages of what you are thankful for. Having them on display provides a regularly reminder of the blessings in your life. 3. Make a short video and send it to brighten someone’s day. This is a neat way for children to be included in showing gratitude to others and to connect with loved ones near and far. 4. Use your creative talents: if you are drawn to

visual arts, make a collage, handmade card or even an e-card to express your appreciation for someone special. You could write a poem or song; record, sing or play music for someone; or use your culinary skills to show your appreciation. Everyone has something to offer the world and when it comes from the heart, gestures speak louder than words. 5. Meditate: a regular period of stillness, or being mindful and attuned to our surroundings, is proven to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Get outdoors, take deep breathes in and out. Notice the trees, changing leaves, sound of birds and the wind. Alternately, to begin or end your day, try this five-minute heart meditation: sitting comfortably, quietly take a few deep breaths. Place your hand on your heart and close your eyes. Take five deep breaths and focus on the feeling of gratitude. Notice how your body feels. Then

Having what you’re thankful for on display provides a reminder of the blessings in your life. do the same with the feeling of joy, compassion, love and empathy. It is amazing how our body changes. Meditation opens the mind and gets your creative juices flowing. Extending gratitude, thanksgiving and compassion to yourself and others

is just one way to practice self-care and the care of others using your creativity. “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” — John F. Kennedy

Endless adventure on Appalachian Trail CHRIS MCBEATH

Optimist contributor

Anyone who has read Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods will have a certain appreciation for the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia. Yet for all his humour, descriptions of his torturous hike never talked about the almost mystical beauty of the region where in spring, wild rhododendrons wash the forest floor with a soft pink and honeysuckles scent the fresh, mountain air. It’s one of the finest times of year to explore the Appalachian Trail. The early-season hiking crowds have long gone, and the heat and humidity of high summer have yet to come. The Challenge To the Native Americans, the word Appalachian means endless, so the trail is aptly named. This is the longest footpath in the world, winding through 14 states and, at times, over some of the most challenging

Hikers on the Appalachian Trail are rewarded for their efforts with stunning vistas. terrain on the continent. Although more than 2,500 people attempt the entire trail each year, fewer than 25 per cent actually complete it, and more than 500 hikers quit after the first eight miles. If you’re setting aside six months of your life to complete the 2,170-mile trek up to Maine, be sure to do your homework. Plan your logistics around one of the many hikerfriendly towns along the

way so pick-ups can be easily co-ordinated and supplies aren’t such an issue. There are also rustic lean-tos spaced at approximately 10-mile intervals along the trail that are popular rest havens, although they can get cosy with like-minded souls seeking refuge. If you’re an enthusiastic trail-blazer, section hikes can take as many days or weeks as you can spare,

and if you’re simply a casual hiker who needs a few hours to reconnect with nature, you won’t be disappointed. The Journey Springer Mountain, an easy two-hour drive from Atlanta, marks the southern terminus of the Appalachian. Most thruhikers stop at Gainesville for supplies and catch a shuttle or taxi to the trailhead. As might be expected, the first section,

PHOTO COURTESY OF TOURISM GEORGIA

Benton MacKaye Trail near Ellijay, Blue Ridge, is named for the man who, in 1921, dreamed up the idea of this mountain walkway. It runs for 290 miles to eastern Tennessee. The 80-mile stretch through Georgia traverses the primitive areas of the Chattahoochee National Forest and, consequently, features some pretty rugged wilderness hiking. Thirty-two miles into

the trail and you’ll come to Mountain Crossings, a tiny stone-walled store that offers all the supplies hikers realize they really need, plus cabin rentals, showers, real toilets and laundry services. Although the Georgia part of the trail is lower than in nearby North Carolina and Tennessee (where peaks rise to some 6,000 feet), you can still expect many steep ascents (and descents) so packing a hoard of energy-boosting vitamins is a must. The forested paths are beautiful with blossoming dogwoods and mountain laurel and, as the spring rains give way to wildflowers such as trillium and wild azalea, the air becomes as fragrant as the scenery is stunning. Little wonder the Cherokee once called this region their Enchanted Land.

Seller shows winning form Ladner woman takes home three trophies from her first figure body building event IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Ladner’s Allison Seller never dreamed she would win a trophy at her first figure body building competition, let alone three of them. The 41-year-old mother of three boys captured first place in the over-40 division, open division and overall figure champion at the Iron Ore Classic in Prince George earlier this month. “It was really surreal,” Seller recalled. “I wasn’t really that nervous going in, despite the fact that I was really out of my comfort zone. It was a real mental challenge for me to do this, but when I thought about it I knew that I did everything that I could — I gave it 110 per cent and I was already proud of myself. To me it was weird, but I had already accomplished what I wanted to, but to then win, was just amazing.” Winning three trophies at the competition wasn’t just as a simple as showing up. Seller went through quite the transformation — both physically and mentally — to get up on stage. She works full time in pharmaceuticals, but her passion has always been health and fitness. Her partner, Eddie Parinas, is a personal fitness professional and trainer. He opened Commit 2 Fit Club as a home-based business in 2011. “About two and a half years ago I really started to step up my game and with Eddie’s support, I started weight training with the idea of just getting into better shape. I had no thoughts of getting into competition,” she said. “It became about wanting to get stronger. I feel better now. I have increased energy and overall I just feel more empowered.”

Allison Seller won three trophies at the Iron Ore Classic in Prince George earlier this month. As she continued to get stronger, Seller pushed herself harder and soon found she was stronger than some of Parinas’ male clients. “Then we started thinking about competing and about six months ago I got really serious,” she said. “I work out everyday, so I

thought, ‘How hard could this be?’ Well, it was really hard. Not so much physical, I can do the workouts, but mentally the challenge to just stick with that type of nutrition plan, you have to gain muscle and fat all at the same time and you have to really trust the process. I struggled with

it, but I had to dig deep and trust all the steps and really give it my all.” Parinas had another competitor in Prince George who battled it out on stage alongside Seller. “I was crying and yelling at the same time. Seeing both of them going at it pose for pose in the over-

all, I just wish that they could have given out two first-place prizes, because they both did so well,” he said. Seller has qualified for the provincials next July and since she won the overall title at Iron Ore, she won’t have to ever qualify again for the provincials.

12-year-old golfer proves to be a quick study IAN JACQUES

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Sierra Stubbs already looks like a seasoned golf pro at just 12 years of age. Even though she took up the game just 18 months ago, Stubbs won the first tournament she entered this season. Earlier this month she qualified for the 2017 USKIDS World Junior Golf Championship at Pinehurst, North Carolina. She qualified by placing third in her age division at the USKIDS Palm Spring Open where she fired two rounds of 81 at the Gary Player course. A member of the Beach

Grove Golf Club, she is coached by CPGA professionals Colin Bykowski and her dad, Daryl Stubbs, from the Pacific Golf Academy in Richmond. Stubbs, who also plays volleyball and runs track and field at school, was introduced to the game by her dad. “We practiced a little bit and I played my first tournament and I won the tournament,” she said. “I thought it was super fun and I met a friend who I’m still good friends with. It is just lots of fun to play golf and meet new friends. I, for sure, want to be a professional golfer one day.”

Sierra Stubbs has qualified for the 2017 USKIDS World Junior Golf Championship at Pinehurst, North Carolina. According to Daryl, his daughter was blown away by the competition and camaraderie shown by the

other competitors at the USKIDS event. “The tournament is just a lot of fun. All of the

countries exchange gifts and there is a big parade,” said Daryl. “Sierra thought it was really neat to see all the players from Japan, so she is taking Japanese lessons, wants to learn the language and play golf in Japan, so that was another motivation to start playing golf.” Bykowski, who has been working with Stubbs for the past 18 months, said her improvement has been amazing. “Starting from a year and a half a go to not playing any tournaments and being introduced to the game to this year playing a full slate of tournaments and obviously improving

at a rapid pace as well has been wonderful to see,” Bykowski said. He said there are a number of factors that have allowed her to improve her game at such a rapid pace. “Joining Beach Grove and having access to a club is huge. She works at our studio about three or four times a week and also practices a good six hours a week at our facility on her own. She is very dedicated,” he said. “The USKIDS event is a big deal and we are all very proud of her. To think of where she was a year ago to where she is now is unbelievable.”
