T2 stance unchanged: MP

Qualtrough takes heat from port opponents after tough talk in campaign 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

Delta MP Carla Qualtrough says her position hasn’t changed on Terminal 2. Questions have been raised about the rookie Liberal MP’s stance after she voiced concerns during last year’s federal election campaign about the proposed

three-berth container port at Roberts Bank, which is now at the panel review stage. During an all-candidates meeting last fall, Qualtrough described T2 as a disaster waiting to happen, adding there’s no compelling business case for it. “We need a robust environmental assessment process in Canada that wouldn’t even let

this kind of discussion start happening,” she told the forum. “Under a Liberal government, we would look at the cumulative effects of all these different things and that’s not happening now.” Fast-forward a year into office and Qualtrough, the minister of sport and persons with disabilities, is being questioned by

those opposed to the container terminal project as to why she isn’t speaking up. “This government has had a year to address the industrialization of the river and estuary and has done nothing more than talk about reviewing environmental legislation,” said Against Port Expansion’s Roger Emsley. MP: see Page 3

Delta police are set to become one of the first municipal police forces in B.C. to have its frontline officers equipped with Naloxone. As health officials work to control the deadly fentanyl crisis, first responders are on the front lines seeing people dying from opioid overdoses at an alarming rate. Chief Neil Dubord said he has never seen a drug crisis like this in all his years of policing, a situation that Neil Dubord requires a strategic response that reaches beyond enforcement, education and awareness. He said the idea behind equipping officers with Naloxone spray came out of the September town hall meetings held in response to nine overdoses in South Delta on Sept. 1. All nine people survived. “I went to a police board meeting about a week after those town hall meetings and asked if we could research this idea and see how much it would cost, so that’s where it took off,” said Dubord, adding it cost $30,000 for the kits and training. Police commenced the rollout of the Naloxone protocol midNovember by training officers and staff. It’s anticipated that by next week, all identified staff will either have access to, or be personally issued, a kit.

Family grateful for support Online campaign launched to help purchase a wheelchair accessible van IAN JACQUES

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

Owen Hill Davie and his family have spent far more time in hospital than any family should. With a host of medical issues, the five-year-old from Ladner continues to struggle with day-to-day living. The Optimist first told his family’s story in April 2015. Mother Stephanie Beharrell and husband Peter Hill Davie, through the support of family and friends, launched a crowdfunding campaign at that time to help cover the cost of some renovations and equipment to make their home more accessible and improve Owen’s quality of life. The initial ask was for $10,000 to help pave their driveway and install a wheelchair ramp. Jody Waldron, a Delta police officer, was introduced to Beharrell and the family through another colleague, Rich Stabler, who went to school with Beharrell and reconnected their friendship through Facebook. “They are just such a wonderful family and really just need some help,”

Ladner’s Stephanie Beharrell is looking to improve the quality of life for her son Owen Hill Davie. said Waldron. “Through phone calls we were able to get a paving company to asphalt the driveway for a reduced price and another police officer donated his labour and built the ramp at the back of the house. He was also able to get a number of local compa-

nies to donate materials. The community support has been fantastic.” Dunbar Lumber, North Coast Building Supplies, South Fraser Concrete and A1 Paving Ltd. helped out with the projects, which were completed in August. Waldron said there’s

still $3,000 left of the initial $10,000 raised. Now the family is seeking upwards of $70,000 to help purchase a wheelchair accessible van. “The reason why we didn’t initially ask for a higher amount in the fundraising was because

we were hopeful his last surgery would work for his hip,” said Beharrell. “It’s failing and now his tibia is failing on the left and the right is dislocating as well, so he will need a final surgery and the likelihood of him standing is not promising.” Waldron said the Delta Fire Fighters Charitable Society has pledged $1,000 and other groups are also stepping up. Beharrell said the family is grateful for the support it has received. “You never know unless you put something out there and the support that we have received from the community, and especially Jody, has been incredible,” she said. “I had no idea that an elementary school friend would connect me with such loving people. And when we initially put out the request to the community, the letters that came, donations that poured in, it just gives more hope for Owen for a future and that there are genuine loving and caring people.” For more information, or to make a donation, visit www.youcaring.com and search for Owen Hill Davie.

MP says we have to let review process run its course

CONTINUED from Page 1 “Our MP knows well that many people in this community are very concerned that Roberts Bank — one of the richest ecosystems in North America — will be severely impacted by T2 with changes in water temperature, salinity, stability of wetlands, light and many other factors. If T2 were to go ahead, the risk is that the chain of the Pacific Flyway will be broken,” he said. “The impact on Roberts Bank will be immedi-

ate and irreversible. Mitigation will be impossible. Whilst our MLA, Vicki Huntington, has spoken out strongly against T2, our MP for Delta, Carla Qualtrough, has remained silent, despite voicing concerns about T2, its viability and environmental impacts during the 2015 election campaign.” Qualtrough told the Optimist she still has her concerns when it comes to the environmental impacts and is still not convinced there’s a solid business

case. “My position on it has pretty much been unchanged for this first year. That’s not to say I can’t be convinced. The project right now is going through an environmental assessment, a three–member panel that’s been appointed by our government. Their results are expected to come out sometime in 2017. Depending on what that says, I may be convinced, I may be satisfied, but right now I’m not prepared to

say that I am,” she said. “We have a really, really sensitive estuary and ecosystem that we’re dealing with that matters a ton, not only to the people of Delta but to all of B.C. and Canada, and quite frankly, the world. Our estuary is pretty unique. So in that regard, I’ve not been convinced yet, but I can’t say I won’t be because I’m going to wait and see what the science says.” The business case, Qualtrough noted, is almost a decade old and

things have changed, so an updated case is a good idea to inspire confidence the project is justified. “I think up-to-date environmental assessment info coupled with an up-todate business case would be really helpful, and certainly that’s the message I’ve taken to both the port and Ottawa. We have to wait and see on the environmental assessment piece, that’s the first step as far as I’m concerned. We have to let that process bear out.”

Crown won’t lay charge against Delta officer

Investigator came in contact with girl in foster care 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 B.C. Criminal Justice Branch says no charges will be laid against a Delta police investigator in a case involving a young woman who later aged out of the foster care system and died. At issue in the case of Paige Gauchier is whether police and emergency responders should have been charged for failing to report an incident of alleged violence against the girl to the B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development. Gauchier’s aging out of the foster care system and dying not long afterward at the age of 19, due to a fatal overdose on the Downtown Eastside, made headlines and raised serious questions about the system. The Representative for Children and Youth conducted an investigation into the young woman’s life and released the findings last year as Paige’s

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

espite growing to a population of 100,000, Delta still views itself a little differently from much of the Lower Mainland. We’re far from a small town anymore, but we embrace that kind of vibe, a place where the hustle and bustle of the big city gives way to a more relaxed lifestyle. Delta’s own website alludes to such a distinction, offering this description: “You won’t find a City here, but you will find The Corporation of Delta, a municipality as unique as its name.” The site goes on to state: “We are vibrant cityscape paired with rural countryside. We are a waterfront town and a wildlife sanctuary. We are all of this and more, but we are not a City.” Well, that could soon change as the powers that be over at municipal hall are considering amending the official name of the place we call home from Corporation of Delta to City of Delta. Corporation has always sounded more than a bit corporate, so I never got the impression that maintaining the name somehow harkened to the days of Delta’s incorporation way back in 1879 or provided any sense of small town. I could see “township” possibly serving that purpose, but corporation sounds more like a business, which is what those in Europe thought the municipal delegation was representing on a recent port tour. It’s a quaint notion that Delta somehow isn’t a city, but it’s not rooted in reality. Yes, it’s true that we don’t have the congestion and the skyscrapers of our neighbours, but I’m pretty sure I see a high-rise stretching 37 storeys into the sky in North Delta and I can’t remember the last time a road hockey game broke out on 56th Street. Whether we like it or not, Delta is a city. With three separate residential communities and the absence of a downtown, we might not be structured like your typical city, but make no mistake, that’s what we are. The good thing about a name change is that it really doesn’t change anything at all, except perhaps the perception of some people that only know us from a dot on a map. City or corporation, Delta will continue to be a unique place, a mix of rural and suburban, industry and environment, a decent-sized slice of a burgeoning metropolis, but still very much a community holding on to its small town roots.

District grows future farmers as students get hands dirty

t’s pretty easy to get into the Christmas spirit when you are surrounded by kids every day as I am with Project Pickle. In my visits in the classroom and at the school farms lately, the common theme is excitement. Next week we will be tying up some loose ends and Delta students are already picking early spring crops to plant by reading seed charts. We will be sampling some of the veggies we will be growing and I will also be delivering several hundred candy canes to my young friends. This goes against what I preach to them for the most part, but hey, it’s Christmas time. I am excited for them too. Not only for the fun that Christmas promises, but for their access to educational programming that will afford them exposure to understanding aspects of farming and the food system. The educational programming around agri-literacy in Delta is second to none and is being streamlined quickly. Project Pickle, which was started just four years ago, will begin 2017 with over 30 classes and approximately 700 young farmers receiving food and farming lessons on a weekly basis. These numbers will likely double by end of 2017. At a meeting with senior school district staff last week, we discussed how the elementary

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

school programming via Project Pickle will meld with the senior programming at the Farm Roots Mini School at Boundary Beach. In addition to their work on the Project Pickle farm sites at their own schools, students will have the opportunity to visit and participate in farming activities at the Farm Roots facility where they will be taught by experts in the farming community and through a wide association of local community partners. A school district bus will transport the kids from their schools to the Farm Roots site. Principals and educators are excited about how the rapidly expanding Project Pickle program dovetails seamlessly with the Ministry of Education’s new curriculum. Delta has been out of the chute quickly on the topic of agrieducation and it’s exciting that a team of dedicated educators is

being gathered to sort through logistics to ensure that a cohesive and streamlined path to success is achieved for our kids. Summer programming for farm work is being developed for mentors who will supervise students participating in farming activities at the Boundary Beach site. Check out www.deltalearns.ca/ farmroots to learn more. Project Pickle has also lined up experts to assist students in marketing and retailing their farm products. This, and the fact young people will earn an income from first summer jobs, learn valuable life skills as well as business and nutritional health skills, all point to an opportunity of which parents should be aware. It is good to see that agriliteracy in Delta is being taught within the bold vision of the Delta School District. If nothing else, the journey for those who choose it will be a boatload of fun and they will learn a ton along the way. You can follow the fun on Twitter @ dirtworking. In Delta, we grow spuds, corn, cranberries, blueberries, hot house veggies and all kinds of other crops, but most importantly, we can also say that we grow farmers. Mike Schneider is founder of Project Pickle and likes to write about growing, cooking and eating food. He is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution ambassador.

Letters

Delta Hospice founder has created a special place

Editor: This is a public letter of gratitude to all the staff and volunteers at Delta Hospice, although it is especially a thank you to our director, Nancy Macey. The mark of a well-run, caring organization is the dedication of the person at the helm. Macey started Delta Hospice out of her home 25 years ago. To have a vision, to manifest it into something real and concrete for the Delta community has been nothing short of heroic on her part. Delta Hospice has grown from a very small staff of six to 70-plus. Macey selflessly, with determination and imagination, has created an organization that includes a charity shop in

Tsawwassen, the hospice residence and the Centre for Supportive Care in Ladner. Our hospice residence is considered the gold standard within Fraser Health. Many Delta residents, both adults and children, have utilized our services over the years. I will be retiring from Delta Hospice at the end of December. It is difficult to leave a place so close to my heart, yet I appreciate how very fortunate I am to retire from a place I am so proud to be a part of. I work with wonderful colleagues and volunteers, many of whom have been with Delta Hospice as long as I have or longer. It is no coincidence so many of us have stayed here so long.

We are in the season of giving and receiving where we take time to think of others, of what they mean to us, why that matters and how these people have contributed to the richness of our lives. As I reflect on my retirement, I can think of no better way than to publicly say thank you to Nancy Macey for the gift she has offered to Delta residents. She is a determined, passionate and energetic woman who imagined and then actualized a remarkable vision right here in South Delta. In these challenging times throughout the world, it is important for us to remember what is good and happening right here in South Delta. Gilly Heaps

Agonizing wait for spine surgery

Editor: I am writing as witness to the unacceptable long waits for surgery. A narrowing in my spine causes pressure on the nerves and results in severe pain and numbing in my extremities. No overthe-counter pain relievers can even touch the pain. Hydromorphone, which is an opioid, offers only little relief but plays havoc with my digestive system that is already compromised by

the irritated nerves. Needless to say, the quality of my life has been severely diminished and I can only manage a few steps with a walker. I was placed on a list in June of this year for an operation to provide relief from the terrible pain and awful burning sensation. It is now December and my surgeon cannot give a firm date as he has been given only eight openings from January through

March and said there may be even cancellations for those. The doctor has 40 patients who are now awaiting surgery but said there are also problems obtaining enough nurses and technicians. This delay is nothing short of cruel and patently unacceptable. For the government to state there are no problems with wait times is clearly appalling. Sarah Russell

It’s got tougher to accommodate suite

Editor: I was shocked this week to find out that with a bylaw that came into effect in July of this year means most of the older and affordable houses in Ladner can no longer accommodate a secondary suite. It seems the outcry over parking caused there to be a new rule put into place that requires a parking space be provided at the side of the house. This is the catch because

if you wander around Ladner you will see that most of the houses that people would try to put a suite in, including all of the “boxes,” do not have enough space at the side. It doesn’t matter, apparently, if you could quite neatly have four parking spaces out front that would do the job quite adequately. The planning department has been frustrated as it has to deal with so many people who are

angry and upset with this new regulation. When the mayor’s office was approached, it said it feels there are more people opposed to suites than those who want them. It seems that even though affordable housing and rental housing are two huge issues for young families wanting to stay in Ladner, council has put into place a bylaw that makes both of these issues worse.

Dear Friends of Hospice, The Delta Hospice Society represents a wonderful story about neighbour helping neighbour. About how we embrace each person who comes into our care with help from the great strength of our volunteer workforce, the generosity of our donors, the prudent stewardship of funds, the continued confidence of our major funder Fraser Health, and the sensitive and compassionate care offered by professionals and support staff. As a community-based charitable organization, we rely heavily on donations. Delta Hospice depends on community support to raise almost half of our $2.7 million operating budget each year. All donations directly support people living with cancer or other serious illness, family and friends, and families following a death. During this season of giving, we invite you to include Delta Hospice in your charitable giving. If you have already given a gift, please accept our heartfelt thanks. Sincerely, Your neighbours – the Delta Hospice Society “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” Mother Theresa

riders have taken a little over 800 trips on the bus scheduled out of the McKee Seniors Recreation Centre. The service provides seniors with transportation to medical appointments, shopping and social engagements. The bus operates Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It has 18 seats and there is space for walkers and wheelchairs.

“We’ve had so many complimentary notes and letters from people saying how much of a difference the service has made,” said Jackson. “It has really taken people, in many cases being a shutin, an ability to go down to the recreation centres for lunch or take in arts and crafts or an evening and, of course, the medical transportation is very important as well. “It is really difficult for people who have no other transportation options. HandyDart is a great idea, but not as reliable as you

would like, so our bus really helps our seniors here in Delta.” The bus was modeled after the North Delta Seniors Bus that started in 2013. To date, the North Delta bus has 400 registered riders who have taken just over 2,500 trips. “We just didn’t know how the service would be received when we first started in North Delta, but we were just thrilled with the response,” said Jackson. “Council then decided that we needed to get the service started in South Delta and made it a

priority item in the budget. It is such a small thing to do to assist our seniors. To enable people to get out to our centres and out into our communities is just a liberating thing for so many people. It’s a good program.” For regular user Charlotte England of Ladner, the bus has reinvigorated her life. She was a regular at the Ladner Leisure Centre where she went swimming, but that all stopped when she could no longer drive. Now she is swimming again, goes to her medical

appointments and joins friends for bridge, cribbage and lunch at the seniors centre. “It’s marvelous — absolutely the best service for my tax dollars,” said England. “To me it is an absolute Godsend. Leo [Gougeon] is so polite and is such a nice driver. He is always so helpful. I love this service.” At the recent seniors town hall meeting in Ladner, a question was asked why the bus doesn’t go to Tsawwassen Mills, the new mall at the Tsawwassen First Nation. Jackson said it’s all about keeping the service local. “We have two business communities — one in Ladner and one in Tsawwassen — that we are trying desperately to keep people drawn to those businesses, so for the Corporation (of Delta) to say we are taking people out of Ladner, out of Tsawwassen to go and shop at the new mall, I don’t think is a fair thing for those folks to expect. “I hope people can understand that. I like shopping local first. Those are people who live in our community and go to school and church, so I want to support those people first.” To book a ride or to find out more about the South Delta Seniors Bus, call 604-358-8765.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

Bird count for kids set for tomorrow at sanctuary

Bird Studies Canada is inviting kids to take part in a Christmas Bird Count just for them tomorrow at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary on Westham Island. Ladner, which is usually at or near the top when it comes to the number of species counted in the long-running Christmas Bird Count, will for the first time have a Christmas Bird Count For Kids, one of four B.C. communities that will have such counts by kids tomorrow. An experienced birder will help kids, ages 10 to 18, know what to look for so they can gather data. Each team will conduct a bird survey, recording the number of bird species and individuals seen. All the data collected will be sent to Ebird and Bird Studies Canada. Event organizer Mellissa Hafting with B.C. Field Ornithologists said the goal is to promote nature appreciation, ecological literacy, build bird ID and monitoring skills, and environmental steward-

We enjoy having a paper route. A paper route is a great way to make some money and get some fresh air. We have been delivering the Optimist for more than three years. It is a fun job because we get to be moving and making money at the same time. Running our route can be fun too. We highly recommend this job to other kids who would like a small job and who would like to earn a bit of money.

The Christmas Bird Count for Kids takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Parents are welcome to participate as well. It costs $1.50 for kids but for children who cannot pay this donation, which goes to the bird sanctuary, are allowed to come in for

free. Bring a lunch, binoculars, toque, warm waterproof jacket and pants, boots and even a camera. Bird Studies Canada sponsors counts throughout the province, including the annual Ladner Christmas Bird Count, which is part of a much larger count across the continent.

The Ladner Community Kitchen is getting ready to host its eighth annual Christmas Dinner on Monday, Dec. 12. It’s set to run from 6 to 9 p.m. at Ladner Christian Fellowship, 5545 Ladner Trunk Rd. What started as a small celebration of 20 to 30 people, mainly food bank recipients, in 2009 has now grown to about 100 guests attending an event that features a sumptuous turkey dinner, music, carol singing and a gift table. Christmas can be very lonely for those without family and friends. Therefore, the Ladner Community Kitchen welcomes anyone who would like to share in some Christmas cheer. Those wishing to attend should call 604-946-1967 well in advance to reserve a spot as seating is limited to 100 people. The Ladner Community Kitchen operates as an arm of the South Delta Food Bank, and a team of dedicated volunteers

serves soup and sandwiches to those who visit the food bank every Wednesday. The dinner has the support of many in the community, including Pastor Danny Stebeck of Ladner Christian Fellowship, police Chief Neil Dubord and a host of community sponsors. The Ladner Community Kitchen could not operate without the dedication of volunteers Peggy Young, Jeanette Neutche, Shirley Brown, Lynne

Bernat, Lise Andres, Jean Peloquin, Kate Sauberli and Charlene Taylor. Al and Phyllis Warwick at the Sundance Pub, Augustine House and Raymond James Ladner offer continued support. The role of the community kitchen is to provide extra services, such as serving soup, sandwiches and other fresh food items, that cannot be handled by the food bank. It depends on donations and community support. Those who wish to help can do so in two ways: • Donating local grocery store gift cards to purchase perishable items such as fresh fruit for distribution on a weekly basis. • Contributing Save-OnMore points at the SaveOn-Foods in Ladner. Every 1,000 points donated earns $1 and is matched by Save-On. Donations to the kitchen can be dropped off at the Ladner Christian Fellowship office on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

HOLIDAY CAFE

Auxiliary volunteers thanked at annual Christmas luncheon IAN JACQUES

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

The Coast Tsawwassen Inn ballroom was filled with Christmas cheer Monday afternoon as the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society thanked its volunteers at its annual Christmas luncheon. A tradition for more than 20 years, the luncheon was an opportunity to pay tribute to the women and men of the auxiliary that give so much throughout the year to Delta Hospital and their community. “This event is a way of thanking all of our volunteers,” said auxiliary public relations coordinator Elaine Canning. “We have more than 200 volunteers in our thrift shop, for example, so it’s hard to get everyone together just to chat and share some friendship, so this luncheon is a good time to get everyone together.” Auxiliary president Robbi Schultes said she is always in awe at the generosity of the heart and soul of people who volunteer

Delta Hospital Auxiliary president Robbi Schultes addresses volunteers at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn Monday. on a regular basis. “However we give our time, each one of us has an important role to play in supporting health care in our hospital and our community,” Schultes said. “Without our volunteers, we would not be able to fund priority equipment, fund programs and bursaries or provide service, care and comfort on a daily basis. Your contribution means the world to our patients, the staff, families and residents of

our community.” Dr. Tarnia Taverner, director of clinical operations for Delta Hospital, said she accepted the position as director for the hospital right around this time last year. She said it has been a busy year of learning and getting to know the importance of the auxiliary. “The one thing I have seen over and over again is the amazing community support that the hospital enjoys and benefits from.

Coffee Hour Drop-In for the Bereaved December 12 - January 6 Mon-Fri 1:30-2:30 (excluding Dec. 26, 27 & Jan 2)

I have seen the splendid and incredible work that the auxiliary members do,” she said. “The hospital auxiliary has humbled me in its generosity, its tenacity. Their passion and commitment continues to be the heart of the hospital.” Taverner mentioned several projects the auxiliary was responsible for, but made special mention of the funding that made possible the hiring of a spiritual health care practitioner. “The auxiliary understands that to provide the best care we must address and attend to the person’s spiritual health. Without attending to the spiritual we ignore the humanity — the humanity of the person is absolute,” Taverner said. “It is fitting that the auxiliary’s generosity and knowledge has allowed Delta Hospital to have a spiritual health care practitioner, which is so vital to the care that we all provide.”

but could cause unnecessary casualties. The hardest times to not have your say is when you have every reason to have your say. But think of it this way: Will my response heal or hurt this situation? Will my retaliation make

me feel better or make the situation better? Who’s in charge of my response right now, my feelings or my faith? As hard as it can be, sometimes the best response is no response. Just let it go, knowing God sees it all and is Lord over all. Trust, instead of stress and save your words for those who will hear your heart and see what’s true. Don’t allow a wrong judgement to drive you to justify. Instead continue to be a blessing. Sow kindness and live in the freedom that comes when your value is not in what others say about you, but in the knowledge of what God is doing in you. Have a wonderful Christmas.

When Jesus was wrongly accused he didn’t waste words in worthless arguments. When his disciples were rejected he told them to stay silent and move on.

Robin Hood has local flavour

South Delta contingent involved in Metro Theatre pantomime production 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

handful of South Deltans are involved in bringing a pantomime version of the classic Robin Hood story to the Metro Theatre stage this holiday season. Robin Hood and Marion kicks off next week at the Vancouver theatre and Tsawwassen’s Cameron Thomson, 20, is having fun with the titular Robin Hood role. He calls playing the “merriest of merry men” a great experience. He’s brought his fencing acumen to the production and also worked on choreographing his own fight scenes. “I provided the stance and some moves, both offensive and defensive, that medieval duelers might have made in a sword fight,” he explains, noting the final product was reached with a collaborative effort by himself and a couple cast mates. Thomson became interested in fencing when he was 12 and heard about a local class. He says he enjoys the action and the people and notes there’s a lot of finesse involved in the sport. Thomson has stage acting experience from his time at South Delta Secondary, including playing the role of Beast in Beauty and the Beast and the King of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.

Cameron Thomson plays Robin Hood in Metro Theatre’s annual holiday pantomime production. Thomson adds that coming to Metro Theatre’s Christmas pantomimes was a long-standing tradition in his family and now being a part of it himself, he hopes to inspire other families to add this to their holiday routine. Tsawwassen’s Kenzie Peters is the musical director for Metro’s holiday pantomime for the second year in a row. “A few years ago I was involved with shows most-

ly as a performer, but for a while now I’ve been doing contracts on the other side of the stage,” she says. “Musical directing allows me to focus exclusively on my passion – music.” Peters, who spent time at the Berklee College of Music, now works fulltime at a Surrey church’s music department where a band she manages was recently nominated for a Covenant Award for Best Children’s Album of The

Year. Ladner resident Catherine Morrison is directing Robin Hood and Marion. “It is great to re-tell an old legend for a new generation,” she says, adding the tale still has resonance today. Technical director and set and lighting designer Les Erskine lives in Ladner while former Ladner resident Tracy-Lynn Chernaske served as set

Christmas with penguins in Antarctica IRENE BUTLER

Optimist contributor

A welcoming committee of penguins meets us at the shoreline dressed in their finest tuxes. Gentoo penguins flaunt showy orange beaks, while the Chinstrap proudly sport narrow strips of black feathers around their chins. Up nearby hills the rookeries of both species are at the height of activity. Parents take turns sitting on rocky nests that hold soon-to-be-hatched eggs, while their mates waddle in single file down snowy paths to the sea to feed. It is Dec. 24th and earlier this morning we had been whisked away by Zodiac from our ship, the Sea Spirit, to this South Shetland Island treasure. Our afternoon delight is Port Lockroy, a 1944 British naval base turned museum. Gleefully we fill out postcards to be mailed from Antarctica, guaranteed to reach folks back home within a month. The rooms give insight into life back then: rough

The penguin welcoming committee readies for visitors from the Sea Spirit. wool-blanketed bunks, hooks for the warmest gear of the day, wall-murals of beguiling ladies, a larder of canned goods with faded labels, a communications room equipped with instruments to scour for enemy ships. Back on board the Sea Spirit, Christmas Eve is heralded in with the crew reading journal excerpts of dire Yuletide conditions experienced by early explorer greats, such as Sir

Ernest Shackleton, making us even more appreciative of our cozy surrounds, and our toasty red parkas and muck boots for excursions. Group gusto is unleashed with the singing of Christmas carols. After a delectable supper, the clear evening beckons and we move to the deck for more dramatic Antarctic landscapes — gargantuan glaciers, coal-black rock cliffs draped in snow and chameleon icebergs that

shimmer aqua and turquoise under sombre skies and glare startling white in sunlight. Our island landings are all incredible, yet on Christmas Day our undertaking is stratospheric in significance. For the first time we step onto the Antarctic Mainland to tread upon this oft called seventh continent. The snow is deep as we follow the long line of red parkas up a steep incline to spec-

tacular mountain scenery from the top. My mind swirls with facts gleaned on this voyage. Antarctica, including all islands and ice shelves, it is about the size of the United States and Mexico combined, but the sea ice that builds around it in the southern winter increases its size by more than 50 per cent. No humans live permanently in Antarctica, although there are always

some people here — about 1,000 in winter and 3,500 in summer — mostly scientists and support staff. Our list of wildlife encounters grows daily. Leopard and elephant seals lounge beside penguins on snowy slopes; in a bizarre quirk of nature these flightless birds are safe on land from the same animals for which they become a tasty meal when in the sea. Humpback whales seen from our ship’s deck and wandering albatross soaring with three-metre wingspans leave us breathless. The nine days have seemingly evaporated since leaving the port of Ushuaia on the southern tip of South America. It’s time for our two-day return voyage through the Drake Passage. Our smiles have never been broader — we have lived our dream. It’s been a Christmas like no other. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate that offers articles to newspapers.

South Delta Secondary fine arts students will showcase their skills at a Bright Lights fundraiser next Tuesday evening. There will be musical and theatrical performances from students, says drama teacher Jennifer Harbott. Expect some Christmas tunes and an improv performance “which is going

to be really fun,” she says. The event will include duets and soloists while even some teachers will be performing, she adds. There will also be a silent auction. The event is a fundraiser for the students’ trip to New York City next April. They will get to see Broadway shows and then take part in coinciding workshops with actors, directors and choreographers involved in the per-

formance. Students will also visit art galleries and some choir members will be performing, says Harbott, noting that’s on top of sightseeing in the Big Apple. Bright Lights takes place Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. at the SDSS cafeteria. Admission is by donation. The cabaret-style evening at the high school is billed to “have something for everyone.”

Water Is... released as ebook

An ebook version of local author Nina Munteanu’s Water Is... was released last month. The book is a nonfiction release the Ladner author has described as a celebration of water. Water Is... represents three years in research and

writing and a lifetime in the making for Munteanu, who’s also a limnologist (someone who studies fresh water). The book, which is part history, part science and part philosophy, includes a “cornucopia of interesting information” and can

be ingested in “any way people want to read it,” Munteanu explained in an earlier interview. Munteanu is also a science fiction and fantasy novelist. The ebook version of Water Is... is available on amazon.ca.

StreakingHawksmakemoremoves Darren Naylor makes changes to his roster as Delta makes it four straight wins MARK BOOTH

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

Delta Ice Hawks are well on their way to their best regular season record in four years but that hasn’t stopped Darren Naylor from tinkering with his line-up. The Hawks extended their win streak to four games with a 6-3 triumph over the Mission City Outlaws on Tuesday night in Ladner. The result moves Delta (18-9-0-0) into a tie for top spot in the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s Tom Shaw Conference with the Grandview Steelers. Working around the league’s Dec. 1 roster cutdown date, a pair of new additions figured prominently in the outcome. Brad Crompton had a goal and two assists while blueliner Eric Bocale also scored. Crompton arrived in a trade with Ridge Meadows for Paul Georgeopolous. The 19-year-old, listed at 6-foot-5 and 237-pounds, gives the Hawks another proven goal scorer. He lined up Tuesday alongside 20-year-old Mark Trotman (6-foot-4, 230 pounds), to form what has to be one of most intimidating lines in the league. Joined by centre Daniel Rubin, the trio combined for nine points. “A game like today, where we are a little bit younger, you can see how they can make things happen out there,” said Naylor. “This was already a tough team to play against, we roll out four straight lines that can play.” Naylor acquired Bocale to shore up his defence and says he would like to add more back end help prior to the Jan. 10 roster deadline. He also acquired the playing rights to former North Vancouver Wolfpack sniper Alex Uryga who began this season with Alberni Valley of the B.C. Hockey League. “I like to fine tune when I know we are close,” continued Naylor. “It’s been a little hectic last couple of weeks piecing all these things together. I still have four (player) cards left and we should get (captain) Quinten (Wideski)

Sixteen-year-old Jordan Naylor has been outstanding in goal for the Delta Ice Hawks. back in the new year and that will be huge. A couple of pucking moving d-men would be great too. I have a few things on the fire.” Delta managed a 2-1 road win over the third place Richmond Sockeyes last week in a blistering paced game that was played under two hours. Alex Suprynowicz notched the winner with just 32 seconds remaining, while goaltender Jordan Naylor turned aside 24 shots to out duel Sockeyes standout netminder Marek Pipes. He now has a 10-4 record with a 2.27 goals against average and .929 save percentage. The Ice Hawks got lucky Naylor’s dad hap-

pens to coach the team. At just 16, Jordan nearly cracked the B.C. Hockey League and chose Delta over returning to the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. He also played for the B.C. U16 team last year. “He is a pretty calm kid who has done well at every level,” said Darren Naylor of his son. “Cooper (Anderson) was terrific tonight too. We’re lucky to have two goalies that can play. I know there is kind of a knock out there for junior ‘B’ but for young goalies it’s a chance to take shots from 19-and-20-year-olds. That’s great for their development.”

Academy alumni playing for Canada at U18 Worlds Delta Hockey Academy alumni Courtney Vorster will begin 2017 on the game’s world stage wearing her country’s colours. The blueliner was among 23-players named Monday to Team Canada’s roster for the 2017 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship, slated for Jan. 7-15 in the Czech Republic. Vorster is one of just four 16-year-olds selected. She was enrolled in the DHA Skills Development Program under academy director Ian Gallagher. She has since taken her career to ShattuckSt. Mary’s — the renowned hockey boarding school that includes Sydney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Zach Parise and U.S. women’s team

star Amanda Kessell among its alumni. She is currently playing for the school’s U19 Prep team. Vorster wore the maple leaf jersey for the very first time this past summer when she was one of three B.C. players named to Hockey Canada’s U18 national team for a three game series against the United States. The roster was finalized following a Summer Showcase selection camp in Calgary. Her spot on the World Championship roster was secured after being further evaluated at the recent U18 Nationals in Regina. Canada opens play on Jan. 7 against Sweden. The Canadians are looking for their fifth gold medal in tournament history.

Sun Devils depth will be tested in 2017 MARK BOOTH

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

Ray Moon didn’t even bother watching last Saturday’s B.C. High School Football “AAA” championship game. It would have just been another painful reminder of where he thought his team should have been. A heartbreaking one-point semi-final loss was still resonating a week later with the veteran head coach of the South Delta Sun Devils. The Terry Fox Ravens not only ended the Devils’ campaign but went on to win the championship thanks to an overtime win over the Notre Dame Jugglers. South Delta is expected to be very competitive in 2017 as well but Moon looks at the past two seasons as a lost opportunity. The Devils won their first-ever “AAA” title in 2014 and had a number of key returning pieces plus a talented 2000 class on the way up. They began the 2015 campaign as a preseason No. 1 in the provincial rankings but never did live up to the hype, bowing to Terry Fox in the provincial quarter-finals. This past season, the team was steamrolling in the stretch run before coming up just short against the Ravens. “This year and last year I thought we had a real good chance, especially when you look at the kind of depth we had on the lines,” said Moon, who has now guided the SDSS program for 15 seasons. “It’s been a real good mix but for a number of reasons,

including injuries, we just couldn’t get it done. It’s frustrating.” South Delta should have about a dozen returning starters next fall. The majority of them are at the skill positions, including quarterbacks Michael Calvert and Ben McDonald, along with receivers Billy Matwichyna, Doug Jameson, Morgan Wolsey and Max Stalling. However, the Devils face a complete rebuild on their offensive line with only centre Ethan Prasad coming back. It means for the first time in about four years, the coaching staff will be looking for more players to go both ways. Greydon Welch and Morgan Brumby are offensive lineman candidates after only playing defence for much of this season. Defensive end Andrew Kraft is also pencilled in as the team’s starting running back with Grant McDonald and Stef Goulas both graduating. “Our numbers will be okay but we won’t be the deepest team,” continued Moon. “When you look at two starting tackles (David Edwards and Justin Smith) they were both third-year guys with a ton of experience. That’s tough to replace. We are going to need kids to step up.” Moon touts the Mt. Doug Rams as the 2017 Western AAA Conference favourite. The Victoria powerhouse brings back the majority of its starters including standout quarterback Gideone Kremler who was sidelined for much of the second half of this season with a knee injury.

EMPLOYMENT

Having already taught at many schools, at the age of 51 she graduated from McGill University, and became a certified teacher. She was a lifelong learner, with many hobbies. She cherished the love she shared with her family and her friends, was passionate about her faith, and was able to create different chapters in her life as she moved from East Coast to West, ending with her “lovely Ladner.” Mary Kay is survived by her children: Richard (Gayle), Paul (Darlene), Maria (John), Stephen (Fran), and Michael (Johanna); her ten grandchildren, some with spouses: Corinne & James, Savannah, Daniel & Kelsey, Meaghan, Molly, Shannon & Jory, AJ, Ariel, William and Paul; and her two great-grandchildren: Jacob and Elias. She is also survived by her three siblings: Allan, Eleanor, and Richard Arless.
