The voice of Delta since 1922

Mayor doesn’t want Delta to become

POT GROWING CAPITAL OF CANADA Lois Jackson says municipal hall is receiving five to 10 inquiries a day as legalization date less than a year off 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 are a lot of questions that need answering before recreational marijuana is legalized, says Mayor Lois Jackson, who’s troubled Delta could become the pot growing capital of Canada.

Jackson is attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver this week where members on Wednesday endorsed a resolution asking

for cities to have meaningful consultation on legalizing pot.

Cities are also calling on senior governments for enough funding to cover policing and regulation costs, a fair share of tax revenues and municipalities maintaining rights when it comes to zoning and land use decisions. A Delta contingent discussed the same issues with federal officials in Ottawa earlier this year.

“We are now looking at zoning, for instance. Can they put

retail outlets next to the schools or the main drags? How is that all going to work? I’m not talking about medical marijuana here, that’s totally separate,” said Jackson When it comes to zoning bylaws, the municipality already had a run-in with a marijuana dispensary that tried had set up shop in North Delta last year, having to go to court to obtain an injunction against the business that refused to shut down.

An even bigger issue looms as Delta and its many thousands of acres of farmland could find itself the pot growing capital of the country, Jackson fears.

One large-scale greenhouse operation, Village Farms in East Ladner, already announced it would apply to convert part of its vegetable operation to grow medical pot as well as non-therapeutic marijuana when legalized by the feds next summer.

Back from the fire zones Municipal employees proud to have helped in fight against B.C. wildfires IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Whether it was boots on the ground or coordinating efforts in emergency operations centres, Delta put in an all-out effort to battle B.C. wildfires this summer.

Police officers, firefighters and senior staff from the Corporation of Delta were all part of a contingent that helped displaced residents in their time of need and protected property from fires.

S/Sgt. Scott Lebus was deployed for a total of 21 days to the Cariboo Regional District emergency operations centre in Williams Lake. For the first two weeks he was the logistics chief, procuring equipment and working to get firefighting equipment to the front lines.

“It was my first experience being deployed in this kind of scenario, so I was a bit of a fish out of water at the start, but I have been deployed at a number of other emergency operations centres before, so it is all about problem solving and finding the best ways to get things done,” said Lebus.

Const. John Smith was part of the first wave of police officers to head up to 100 Mile House.

“Most of them [the RCMP officers] live in the community and were on evacuation order, or evacuation alert, but to their credit they showed up and did what they needed to do,” recalled Smith. “Our job was to man roadblocks to keep people out of the

Traffic is stopped on Highway 97 just south of 100 Mile House due to one of many wildfires that burned in B.C. this summer. evacuated areas and assist with any of the detachment police work, so they could get a break to head home and take care of their families, property and have a bit less to deal with.”

He said the power of the fire was incredible.

“There was one point we were standing by on Highway 97 just north of town and one minute we were talking and saying how nice a day it was and 30 minutes later we were covered in this thick blanket of smoke and the fire was crossing the highway.

It was just unreal. How the firefighters do it, I have no idea — they must have nerves of steel.”

Smith said he was proud to play a small part in the effort.

“You want to help, you want to make things better and lessen the burden on the people you are trying to help,” he said. “I just wanted to leave a better place than when I arrived.

At the end of the day, it is what you do for people that counts.”

Delta firefighter Erik Peterson was deployed twice in July and August at

the operations centre near Williams Lake.

“I think honestly we all just want to be there, especially from the fire side. It’s in our nature to respond and if we can help, we want to help,” he said.

“Some of the people had been working non-stop for 30 days, so I was happy to be there to support and give some people a chance to catch their breath and deal with their own family issues.”

Deputy fire Chief Michel Latendresse said he was honoured to be a part of Delta’s overall emergency

response.

“You come back from these things with a greater appreciation and training experience. Delta is a better place because of the training and the experiences that everyone received by going up to the Interior,” he said. “In Clinton, our crews were tasked to provide structure protection within the city limits, setting up sprinklers and getting ready to protect structures should the fires jump. It was pretty amazing to see this big firefighting machine working together.”

Mayor wants to keep farmland for food production CONTINUED from Page 1 Three years ago, Delta passed a bylaw prohibiting the production, storage, research or sale of medical marijuana anywhere in the municipality.

The bylaw initially applied to all zones, including agricultural, although applications to grow the product would be considered on a case-bycase basis.

The idea was to keep any potential operations out of farmland and within industrial zones. After

receiving Delta approval, Health Canada granted one company, Zenabis West, the go-ahead to set up shot to grow medical pot on Annacis Island.

However, the provincial government, which still has an order-in-council restricting Delta’s ability to regulate activities in the ALR, struck down part of Delta’s bylaw that prohibited the production of medical pot on farmland, which could pave the way for Village Farms and others.

Saying B.C. only has about five per cent of its land base that can reasonably grow food, Jackson noted Delta has received dozens of applications from companies looking to grow marijuana on farms, which she views as a threat to food security. “(Delta CAO) George Harvie said he’s had five to 10 inquiries a day. You’ve got to follow the money and there’s big money in this. The ones that are first to the post, I guess, are probably going to

make a lot of money,” said Jackson.

The mayor added they’ve had some productive one-on-one meetings with ministers of the new provincial government at the UBCM and were able to convey Delta’s concerns.

“I asked the agriculture minister (Lana Popham) today what is her feeling on this. I really need some help because I’ve been on local council for 40 years and fought to save every square foot of good agricultural land in Delta. Are

we going to give up the ability to feed our people and simply rely on the United States?”

B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth this month announced the province is asking for the public’s views on how the government should regulate the distribution and retail sale of marijuana.

Canada’s justice ministers, meanwhile, recently met with federal Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould asking for clarity and support.

John Bolhuis, known to many as Big John, lived his entire life in Ladner. He’s shown during a plane ride (left) for his 64th birthday last year and at the Ladner Village Quilt Walk and Car Show (middle).

Ladner mourns loss of Big John, a gentle giant 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

Ladner lost a “big, lovable gentle-giant of a guy” with the passing of John Bolhuis earlier this month.

Bolhuis, 65, died from a heart attack at his Ladner home in his sleep, said longtime friend Les Blaney.

“He was just a great guy,” said Blaney, who was also Bolhuis’ legal guardian.

Nicknamed Big John, Bolhuis suffered from a brain injury all his life and never developed mentally and socially much past the age of a 10- or 12-year-old, said Blaney.

He was “exceptionally well-known” in the community, said Blaney, noting Bolhuis was also a big sports fan and car enthusiast.

“He could tell you the make and model of just about any vehicle going

One of the best things I could say about John is that he never had a bad thought about anybody.

down the street. It was amazing. How he did it, I don’t know,” he said, adding Bolhuis possessed a virtually photographic memory.

“One of the best things I could say about John is that he never had a bad thought about anybody. Everything was on the bright side,” said Blaney, a local

retired realtor.

Ladner Pioneer May Days and the Quilt Walk and Car Show were very special events for Bolhuis, he said.

“Those were the highlights of his year.”

Blaney’s brother Jim was Bolhuis’ full-time caretaker for the last two-anda-half years.

Bolhuis was “kind, caring and considerate,” he said, adding that “as soon as he met you and knew

your name, he was your friend.”

There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 11 a.m. at the Ladner Christian Reformed Church, 459454A St. In lieu of flowers, those attending are asked to consider making a donation to a disability association or to the church’s Friendship Coffee House, which Bolhuis was a part of for many years.

Two one-storey commercial buildings on Delta Street in Ladner Village, including one that is almost a century old, would be demolished as part of a mixed use redevelopment application.

Mixeduseproposalwould replace heritage building 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

A development application that would give a new look to Ladner Village will be going to a public hearing.

Delta council has given preliminary approval to a two-and-a-half-storey mixed commercial and residential building at 4868 and 4872 Delta St. If approved, two onestorey commercial buildings, one of which is a heritage building currently home to a barber shop, would be demolished and replaced.

The historic structure at 4868 Delta Street is on Delta’s heritage inventory but is unnamed, simply listed as a commercial building circa 1918. It’s noted as a structure with

a boom town façade in an early commercial settlement in Ladner.

The site is between two significant heritage buildings: McCrea’s Pool Hall and Delta’s second municipal hall.

The development site is also bounded by a newer two-storey commercial building to the south and a vacant site to the north, for which council has approved a development permit for a two-and-a half-storey retail-residential building that has yet to be constructed.

Much of council’s discussion on the application focused not on the loss of the heritage structure but on a potential lack of parking. Council was told the project would be marketed as only coming with one parking stall per unit.

The Corporation of Delta is undertaking a review of the parking situation in downtown Ladner and recently took drone footage looking at the parking turnover within the village. CAO George Harvie noted times change and that Delta may need to come up with a new parking strategy.

Saying no matter what is done there will never be enough commercial parking, Coun.

Bruce McDonald noted the three-hour limit within most of the village core combined with ample parking at nearby Memorial Park likely means the problem isn’t that serious.

Council will get a separate staff report on the parking situation in the village.

Birds strategy moving forward IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

Delta is moving forward with its birds and biodiversity conservation strategy and the opportunity to promote Delta’s natural heritage at the upcoming 2018 Ornithological Congress.

Civic councillors approved a staff recommendation earlier this month to execute a contribution agreement with Environment and Climate Change Canada that provides $40,000 to Delta projects related to birds and biodiversity.

Delta also pledged

to support the 2018 Ornithological Congress events held in the community through its social media communications and field trip logistics support.

The Delta Naturalists’ Society first made its request to Delta in November 2015 to develop a birds and biodiversity strategy in cooperation with the organization. A subsequent staff report outlining the request was endorsed by council in February of 2016.

According to a Delta staff report, the development of the strategy has been done through three

workshops that included reps from the Naturalists’ Society, environmental community groups, the agriculture community, tourism and business associations, federal and regional government staff, and Delta staff from various departments.

Next year’s Ornithological Congress, which is the oldest and most prestigious meeting for bird scientists occurring every four years, is expected to bring more than 500 delegates to Delta for various birding opportunities, including field trips to Boundary Bay and Roberts Bank.

Delta police are starting to get a handle on the property crime that has been a major issue in South Delta since the beginning of the year.

“In relation to the monthly statistics, if you remember in January and February we had quite a spate of property crimes and I said it would take us a few months to catch up and we certainly have,” said Chief Neil Dubord.

“Our operations area has done a very good job in doing that.”

While property crime is down, commercial break and enters continue to be a concern as are theft from vehicles, Dubord said.

“In a lot of cases it is the usual suspects, a handful of people that cause the most crime of this nature,” added deputy Chief Norm Lipinski. “The challenge for us is finding out who these people are. Sometimes it is easy because we receive a tip, fingerprints from a scene, other times we have no idea. With this type of offense, you have a target rich environment. If you break into one vehicle, you have lots of vehicles that get broken into. It’s the type of crime that occurs in clusters.”

Dubord said police continue to encourage the public to lock their vehicles and remove all items that could be enticing to would-be thieves.

Make sure online date isn’t a romance scam

A full month of the world’s best hot tub care.Yours absolutely free.Yes.Free.

Tips to prevent you from becoming a victim

Scam of the month With the rise in scams, particularly those online, the Delta Police Department, in conjunction with the Optimist, is running a monthly article to help residents stay safe from fraudsters.

Have you recently met your special someone online? Someone who has quickly expressed their love for you despite never having met you?

Crucially, has that person asked you for money?

If they have, you may be the victim of a romance scam.

While countless lucky souls have met the love of their life through online dating sites, scammers are using these sites along with social networking sites to fleece lonely women and men of their life savings.

Typically, the scammer will set up profiles in a fic-

titious name, using photos they’ve found elsewhere on the Internet. They might present themselves as living locally, but currently working or volunteering overseas, such that they can’t meet in person.

Once they’ve initiated contact, they shower their prospective victim with attention and kindness. Many months might pass without the mention of money, while the scammer develops the online relationship.

Eventually, the scammer asks for money, either for an emergency or to fund their return home to unite with the victim.

One incident after another is imagined by the scammer, inducing the victim to continue paying. The relationship is often so real to the victim many refuse to believe it’s a fraud, even after depleting their bank and credit accounts of hundreds of thousands of dollars for someone they’ve never met.

If you recognize any of the above in your current online relationship, follows these tips: • Don’t ever give any money, especially by Western Union or wire transfer. Instead, discuss the situation with a family member or friend you trust; • If you’re not certain your partner is real, search for them on Google. Most real people leave traces of themselves online; if there are none to be found, they’re probably not real; • Try doing an online image search of your partner’s profile picture, as it may be found elsewhere on the Internet under other people’s names; • Don’t share “racy” photos with people you have not met, as they could be used for blackmail later.

If you feel you’ve been the victim of a romance scam, or if you suspect someone you know has been victimized, contact your local police.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

ur mayor has taken a lot of heat in some circles for her unwavering support for a 10-lane bridge across the Fraser River, yet regardless of what you think of her stance, at least she’s not talking out of both sides of her mouth.

Lois Jackson has become an outcast among regional mayors who talk a good game about growth strategies and transit corridors, but they don’t always practice what they preach.

I can’t help but glance east (southeast to be exact) and shake my head at the car-dependent community being created in the shadow of Highway 99 while those issuing all those development permits lobby against the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

The rate of development in the Morgan Crossing area is jaw dropping, and while there are commercial amenities to serve these new residents, most have to get into their vehicles to get to work.

Figures from the City of Surrey show that South Surrey has grown by 22,000 people in the last decade and is projected to add another 60,000 over the next 30 years. That’s not Surrey as a whole, which grew by almost 100,000 in the last 10 years and is expected to increase by another 300,000 over the next 30, but solely the area known as South Surrey.

In other words, South Surrey grew by the equivalent of a Ladner or a Tsawwassen in the last decade and will continue to add a similar number of people each decade for the next three.

In the very near future, South Surrey will be home to as many people as Delta is today.

With all the talk of smart growth, you’d think this population boom would be a prime candidate to be serviced by some form of rapid transit, yet the southernmost point of the proposed Surrey light rail system is about 14 kilometres from Grandview Corners, the hub of the new Morgan Crossing development, and even further from the more established neighbourhoods of South Surrey to the west.

As a result, those residents, in evergrowing numbers, will jump into their cars and add to the congestion on Highway 99, many eventually finding their way to the George Massey Tunnel.

Once there, they’ll be glad to know their local government would prefer infrastructure dollars are spent elsewhere.

Minister’s search for younger farmers should lead to Delta

T

he new minister of agriculture was in town this week and the Optimist had the opportunity to interview her. Lana Popham, MLA from Saanich South, maintains she will strengthen the Agricultural Land Reserve and ensure it doesn’t turn in to a land bank.

She also reminds us the ALR is used to grow food. This is the obvious intention but a difficult reality in many cases. Although I fully support the sentiment, I know there are practicalities that prevent this noble goal from becoming reality.

Even if we were able to grow food on all ALR land, who would be growing it and how would they afford to buy the land and take on the operational costs associated with farming?

Popham recognizes this challenge and states, “Our mandate is really focused on encouraging young farmers to get into farming and from my travels around the province the last eight years, I’ve noticed young people really do want to get into farming but they can’t afford the land. So we’re focusing on how do we get people onto the land base so that they can become farmers. There’s farmers from a different generation that are retiring and we want to make sure there’s energetic young people in their place. We’re

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

working with stakeholders to figure out the best way to make that happen.”

I wish her and the ministry the best of luck and hope that she looks at what is happening in the Delta School District as a good model to engage potential young farmers.

On the flip side of ALR protection goals, the new NDP government seems to be at least partially conflicted with its election promise to tackle housing affordability. Although densification and rezoning is the likely solution in urban cores, I can see plenty of opportunity within strategic pieces of ALR land where it would make sense to develop and ease the housing crisis.

Dora Dueck wrote a thoughtful letter to this paper last Friday in which she thanked Community Comment colleague ML Burke for her recent article on housing.

Dueck emphasizes that no community is immune to change and I agree with her.

I, like many in our community, am considering downsizing but there is currently no housing form that meets our needs here and I would prefer to stay local.

Additionally, I am concerned that young people will have little chance to own a home in Metro Vancouver or other major cities.

I would like to be relatively close to my extended family but that prospect is looking increasingly bleak. I am hoping that our municipal governors and planners will look carefully for opportunity to create infill housing in strategic areas in South Delta.

There seems to be lots of housing choice in Ladner and from what I have seen, the buildings blend well with the community.

I know many people are afraid of densification and feel it is an assault on the character of our small towns but the needs of the many need to be considered.

Not many of us get to die in our family homes and the need for varied housing type will likely affect just about all of us.

Let’s keep an open mind and embrace change because it can be good.

Day at the Farm was Bridge on shaky ground, just as fun in the rain so it’s best to twin tunnel

Editor: We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you who braved the wet weather and attended the Day at the Farm community event at Westham Island Herb Farm earlier this month.

Despite the overcast skies and intermittent rain, we are quite proud to report the day was a success and we were impressed with all the rain gear.

The Ellis family is vital in hosting this event and truly poured their heart and soul into Day at the Farm.

We sincerely appreciate the amount of hard work and planning the Ellis family takes on in order to host this event - thank you for continuing an amazing partnership year after year and opening up your farm for everyone to enjoy and learn. They have just opened their new farm stand and it is truly impressive, take a visit and enjoy Delta’s bounty.

We would also like to thank our kind supporters without whom we could not host such an event. We are extremely grateful to the following organizations for their generous contributions:

FOOT CARE FULL COVERAGE

BC Fresh, BC Ministry of Agriculture, BC Waterfowl Society, BC Youth in Ag.

To our participants, thank you for giving up part of your weekend to help spread the word about the importance of local agriculture, and to raise awareness about its important relationship to wildlife conservation.

FOOT WARTS?

Editor: I’d like to thank the NDP government for suspending the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project.

The media is erroneously reporting the technical work has been done on the planned bridge to replace the tunnel. In fact, the numerous documents posted by the previous Liberal government are mainly literature compilations and descriptive information.

There is no bridge design. There is only a preliminary, conceptual plan for the bridge.

The six geotechnical reports are mainly a collection of available information. The Geotechnical Data Report, posted February, 2017, contains test-hole data and laboratory investigations that do not include “project design requirements” and “cannot guarantee or warranty that the geotechnical information obtained is sufficient to fully satisfy the project objectives or requirements.”

There is no evidence that a bridge can be safely constructed at this location. Without data and evidence, it is not possible to calculate the cost of the bridge.

In fact, evidence collected to date confirms

the soils in location of the planned bridge are liquefiable sand and silt to great depths.

Any bridge supports would need to be deep pile foundations. If they can be built at all, they would be exorbitantly expensive due to depth requirements and massive lateral structures.

The geotechnical information available to the public is accompanied by a disqualifier: “The contents of this memorandum are not sufficient nor detailed enough for the final design, and should not be relied upon for the final design, for bidding purposes or for construction.”

Yet the B.C. Liberals were planning to award

contracts in the summer of 2017.

The option of upgrading the existing tunnel and sinking a second tube was not credibly pursued by the B.C. Liberals. In April, 2013, Tunnel Engineering Consultations from the Netherlands came to consult with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation. No written report of this consultation has been provided to the public in spite of freedom of information requests.

It appears the provincial government did not request formal input. I suggest the government contact Tunnel Engineering Consultations and request further consultation.

Taffy Taffy is a female Chihuahua mix who is six years old and weighs nine pounds.

This sweet little girl is a bit shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take her long to warm up and then becomes a BIG snuggler! Taffy is good with other dogs, big and small, but still gets a bit nervous at first introduction and can be protective of her people and resources. Ideally a home where she is queen bee would be best, or a home with a mellower dog that can let her rule the roost. We do not know about cats, but would think they should be OK with a little time and patience. As she is nervous meeting new people, and has been nippy at forced interaction, we feel a home with small children would not be a good idea. Taffy LOVES walks, and we would consider her a medium energy dog requiring daily mental and physical stimulation. While she may never be a running or biking buddy, this little girl loves hiking and exploring! Inside the home she is a gem! She is totally house broken and crate trained, and her current foster has had no issues leaving her alone for eight hours while at work. Taffy is working on her leash skills, but is very manageable. As with all our dogs, she is spayed and up to date on all shots and vaccines. If you are interested in lovely Taffy, please email us at pbandchi@gmail.com

Legion’s hospital donation boosts total to $146,000

The Delta Hospital Foundation recently received a $6,500 donation from the Tsawwassen Legion, which brings the branch’s total to more than $146,000 since 1995.

This most recent gift will go towards the purchase of a dermatome for Delta Hospital’s busy surgical department. The instrument is an essential device used for skin grafting,

which is often needed following the removal of skin cancer or an injury such as a burn or similar trauma.

“We are so grateful for the continuous support we have received from the Tsawwassen Legion Branch 289,” says the foundation’s Angela Turner.

“We truly appreciate their commitment to the hospital and our community.”

The Legion has funded

priority equipment for many different areas of Delta Hospital over the past two decades, including the medical unit, emergency department and residential care.

“Delta Hospital has helped so many in our community over the years, and we are only too happy to contribute,” says Tsawwassen Legion president Gary Bain.

One visit to Ladner to know it’s home

The Delta Museum and Archives Society recently launched Our Delta Stories, a project that asks community members to share their favourite Delta story in 250 words or less.

The stories will be posted to the society’s social media pages and website, while some will also be printed in the Optimist. This story comes from Teresa Cooper, president of the Delta Museum and Archives Society.

In 1990, my husband and I moved to the Lower Mainland. We were from the north and knew nothing about the different areas surrounding Vancouver or where we wanted to live. We spent the first year driving everywhere trying to find the community that would be right for us.

Then one night we accidentally drove through this very strange tunnel and had no idea where we were. Three months later we were living in Ladner!

What made us decide on Ladner? How could this not be the right place? It had all the things we were looking for, including won-

derful parks and schools, shopping, restaurants, sports facilities, a sense of heritage — it even had a museum!

But what struck us most of all was the sense of community.

Neighbours watched out for everyone else on the street and friends watched out for your kids. People that have lived here for generations made you feel welcome.

After 27 years, I still can’t imagine a better place to raise a family, form lasting friendships and participate wholeheartedly in building a community that wraps its arms around you and doesn’t let go.

No more waiting for oysterfest or happy hour.

If you pay attention to what is going on south of the border, or are a fan of professional sports, you understood this headline.

What began as a one-man protest of racial injustice snowballed over the last week when the U.S. president stated in a campaign rally that players who kneel during the national anthem should be fired, then followed up with multiple tweets.

As a result, whole teams took a knee or stayed in the locker room during the national anthem. Many entertainment figures and athletes from other sports have joined in. To one side it is about protesting racial injustice. To the other side it is about disrespecting the flag and those who

have given their lives for it.

Now as emotions heat up and more people jump in, the motivations become more complicated. But what intrigues me is the posture — kneeling.

Typically kneeling is a posture of respect or rever-

ence, and that may give some clue into the hearts of at least some of the protestors. But as a follower of Jesus, when I think of kneeling, I think of prayer.

Prayer has been proven to be therapeutic, but the power of prayer doesn’t come from the exercise or the posture. The power of prayer comes from the One to whom we are praying.

The Psalmist wrote: “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.” Psalm 95:6-7 (NIV) The best way to take a stand is to take a knee.

KinVillage to host ballroom dancing event DAVE WILLIS

Delta Cup DanceSport Gala will bring two full days of ballroom dancing to the KinVillage Community Centre next weekend.

The third edition of the event will see big increases in the number of kids dancing and the amount of formation teams taking part, notes George Pytlik, who organizes the competition along with his wife Wendy.

Formation teams, which can have over 20 dancers, put on a choreographed routine (typically including more than one style of dance) dressed in costumes, he explains.

This year’s Delta Cup DanceSport Gala will see more youth competitors take part.

Another highlight will be showcase performances from highly-

ranked World Professional Ten-Dance competitors Simeon Stoynov and Kora

Stoynova.

Music Makers make friends, memories Community band returns to Delta after two weeks of concerts and sightseeing in Hungary CHRIS DUMFRIES AND CURT JANTZEN

Optimist contributors

The Delta Music Makers community band just returned from a two-week trip to Hungary. Here’s a first-person account of their travels: Tension mounts!

We’re setting up for a concert in a large cultural hall built during the Soviet era, about two hours north of Budapest. There’s about 600 empty seats out there but they will all be full in about an hour, 600 locals expecting a great Sunday event from a visiting Canadian band.

We’ve heard the host band perform on YouTube and we know it will set the bar high. Will we be able to meet the high quality music the audience has come to expect and the host band will deliver?

5 p.m.: The seats are full and both bands are in place. No chatter from the audience. Very quiet.

Tibor taps his stick and

Conductor Curt Jantzen leads the Delta Music Makers at a concert in Esztergom. the host band starts to play O Canada. We stand and sing, proudly. Polite applause. Then, with the time for butterflies long past, we play the Magyar Hymn, which is the Hungarian anthem.

The 600 voices almost drown out our band — what proud people! The audience applauds as we Canadians played their national anthem.

The Dorog and Tat Wind Band is set up on the floor in front of the stage, and they play their set first, while we enjoy their series

of marches and polkas, all well-received and clearly familiar to the audience.

Whenever the conductor Tibor turns to the crowd, this is their signal to begin rhythmic clapping, something that is not so prevalent in Canada.

Now it is our turn. The Delta Music Makers’ first two numbers, including a vocal by Margaret Behenna, are very well received. Applause just as loud as for the home band.

It seems all that rehearsal back in Delta in August has paid off. The applause

Approved Land Use Plan Amendments

On August 29, 2017, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority board of directors approved the proposed amendments to the Land Use Plan for industrial properties acquired by the port authority over the past year located in the Corporation of Delta, the District of North Vancouver, City of Richmond, and City of Surrey. Properties in Delta, Richmond and Surrey have been redesignated as “Industrial” and the North Vancouver property has a “Port Terminal” designation.

gets louder and louder over the next few numbers. We have the crowd clapping along and cheering. Success!

Now the climax: both bands will play together under one conductor. We have not even rehearsed, let alone formally met these folks, but had sent music to each other for this occasion. We play a lively polka number under Tibor’s direction. The applause is thundering, not only for our surprising cohesion and intonation, but also for the spirit

of music bringing two nations together.

The two bands continue to alternate conductors between Curt Jantzen, Margaret Behenna and Tibor Szladik of the Tat and Dorog Wind Band.

The audience of 600 treated us to constant rhythmic clapping and loud and long applause.

Music is indeed the universal language. After the audience leaves, we finally get a chance to meet the host band, but few of us speak the same language.

What irony! We’ve just

spent two hours entertaining a big crowd, and can’t even chat about it. But we played excellent music together, and we now have a number of new friends in Hungary.

Since then, that amazing evening has become a legendary memory as we are guided through so many historic and entertaining cultural centres of Hungary by our multilingual guide Zoltan. Our second concert was on the treed concourse on the shores of Lake Balaton, with an enthusiastic audience of 200 passers-by.

One very excited couple invited us for a drink in the nearby shoreside café — not just the band directors but the entire band!

Esztergom Cathedral, the largest in Hungary, was the site of our third concert as we set up outside by the steps and played for an international audience.

The final joint concert took place in the town of Sopron.

AN INTERVIEW WITH LINDA MALLARD, OWNER OF THE TSAWWASSEN WELLNESS CENTRE ON HEALTHY AGING.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT?

I worked in quite a few “gyms” in my twenties. As a manager of these facilities, I was amazed at the difference between the number of actual members vs those who attended. So many people were paying for their memberships, not exercising and therefore not getting results.

Healthy aging and feeling great. Self-care is the new health-care. I get to help re-define what it means for men and women to age because age in just a number and aging is an attitude.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE MIND BODY CONNECTION?

As a health professional I wanted to help people get fit, feel better and be their best self. It wouldn’t happen if they didn’t show up.

The mind, brain and body all influence one another. In addition to feeling good when you exercise, you feel good about yourself.

So, I opened my own Studio where it mattered that clients showed up. (we still call our clients if we haven’t seen them in a while. J) With a focus on small group numbers, it meant we could get to know our clients, their goals and support them to be successful.

I fell in love with movement at a young age. I started coaching gymnastics at 12 years of age and realized how much I loved teaching. I coached throughout high school and when I graduated I went into physical education at UBC. Group fitness was breaking ground. I took classes as part of my own fitness and then started teaching. That morphed into a career in health and fitness.

Sports Hall of Fame’s class of 2017

Seven new inductees to be honoured at gala banquet on Oct. 21 in Tsawwassen

The Delta Sports of Hall of Fame will be welcoming seven new inductees as part of its 2017 class that will be honoured on Oct. 21 at a gala banquet.

Launched 12 years ago, the hall of fame’s objective is to “to celebrate Delta sport achievement, recognize excellence and honour past, present and future role models. The evening celebration, will take place at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn, will also include the Sports Champions recipients that highlight team and individual achievements in the past 12 months.

Here is a brief look at the 2017 Delta Sports Hall of Fame Class: Builder Category Jamie Davidson (Cycling) For the past 17 years, the Tour de Delta has become one of the great community events in Lower Mainland and the kickstart to B.C.’s Superweek of professional cycling. Although many have contributed to its ongoing success, Davidson is one of few credited with the initial vision, insight, expertise, passion and hours of time given to build the Tour de Delta into the internationally recognized event it has become today.

Back in 2000, Davidson was recruited to join the inaugural board of directors where his technical knowledge was critical to create a world class race. In addition, he played a crucial role in drawing national and international athletes to the Tour de Delta.

Pioneer Category Herb Betts (Soccer) More than 50 years ago, there were few opportunities for kids to enjoy the “beautiful game” before Betts and a dedicated group of volunteers established the Delta Juvenile Soccer Club based out of Ladner in 1961. He later helped launched the North Delta Soccer Club (NDSC) where he served as one of the directors and executive for many years. Without proper fields, Betts recognized the need for a lighted, all-purpose field. In 1970, after much campaigning, the Boys and Girls Club field (now North Delta Park) opened as the first lit all-weather field in the Lower Mainland. Up to his death in 2006, Betts epitomized the values of service and commitment to soccer in our community.

Athlete Tim Lorenz (football/hockey) This Ladner native was a true multi-sport athlete. Lorenz’s hockey career took himz to the Western Hockey League where he won a Memorial Cup with Portland Winterhawks in 1983 and was ultimately drafted in the fourth round by the Vancouver Canucks.

Despite not playing football since his Grade 10 year, Lorenz was offered a scholarship to the University of Hawaii where he played two seasons at outside linebacker before transferring to California-Santa Barbara where he shifted to defensive end. Lorenz

was taken in the second round of the 1988 CFL Draft by Hamilton and went on to play four seasons for the Tiger-Cats before concluding his career with the B.C. Lions.

His best campaign was in 1989 when he recorded 18 tackles and six sacks in helping Hamilton reach a memorable Grey Cup game against Saskatchewan.

Sandy (Green) Beasley (Softball) One of the best players to ever come out of North Delta Softball, Beasley was an outstanding pitcher and utility player who earned a scholarship to Stephen F. Austin University in Texas. She was a perennial all-conference player and was inducted into the university’s hall of fame in 2000.

Beasley also thrived with Canada’s national team program.

She played at the 1987 Junior Worlds and later was a mainstay with the senior team, placing fifth at the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Coach Ron Steel (Soccer) After helping with the formation with the Ladner Girls Soccer Club, Steel and Art Lowery launched the “Beatty Babes” — B.C.’s first girls’ soccer team sponsored by the floor company he worked for.

As more organized leagues began forming, Steel eventually became vice-chair of the Fraser Valley South Girls Soccer Association.

He later returned to coaching the Babes and recruited a technical

coach to push the girls further.

They won the Provincial Cup in 1977 and would continue to be a force for the next several years.

Team

North Delta Stars (Softball)

Coached by Jim Biggan and John Donaldson, the Stars won four provincial titles and were runners-up at nationals in 1986, 1988 and 1989. They also were Western Canadian champs in 1984. Three players went on to play for the junior national team and two eventually played senior as well. The core of this team also played soccer together as the SurDel Cyclones and won multiple Provincial Cups and a national title.

Sponsor The Run Inn Since 2002, Kevin Ridley and The Run Inn have been a part of supporting sport in Delta. The Tsawwassen specialty running store’s original fundraiser began over 20 years ago in memory of three of its run group members.

As of today, they have raised over $100,000 in support of the BC Cancer Foundation. They are the lead sponsor for the Point Roberts Jog for a Jug where they have raised money for both Hannah’s Heroes and more recently KidSport and also get behind numerous other running events — including the Delta Triathlon, Delta Half Marathon and Boundary Bay Cross-Country Meet which Ridley serves as race director.

advantage but could not solve goalie Jordan Naylor. Nathan Pelletier padded the lead when he converted a three-on-two break.

The Hawks continued their impressive forecheck and cycle game in the final period and were rewarded with two more goals.

Daniel Rubin converted a Michael Araki-Young centring pass and Stein used his outstanding speed to wire home his second of the night.

Naylor turned aside 18 shots for the win and shutout — lowering his goals against average to a league best 1.49 with a save percentage of .943.

Last Thursday, the Hawks produced a 5-2 road triumph over the Richmond Sockeyes. It was the first of four meetings this season between the cross-river rival with the inaugural Battle of the Tunnel Cup going to the series winner.

Naylor was outstanding, making 32 saves to earn first star honours.

The Ice Hawks took control on second period goals by Pelletier, Rubin and Isiah Hendricks to open up a 5-1 lead.

Delta Ice Hawks goaltender Jordan Naylor pokes the puck away from Richmond Sockeyes Tyler Andrews during his team’s 5-2 road win on Sept. 21 at Minoru Arenas. Delta completed September with a perfect 7-0-0-0 record.

It has been a September to remember for the Delta Ice Hawks.

The Ice Hawks capped a perfect month with a 9-1 thumping of the host Langley Trappers on Wednesday night. The result leaves them as the lone unbeaten team in the Pacific Junior Hockey League with a 7-0-0-0 record.

Delta jumped out to a 5-0 lead after 20 minutes and cruised past the expansion Trappers — led by a natural hat trick from Eric Bourhill. The 18-year-old South Delta Minor alumni now has seven goals in his last five games. Singles went to Jonathan Stein, Logan Flavel, Gabriel LeBlanc, Jordan Deyrmenjian, Teddy Prior and captain Gary Dhaliwal. Jordy Engleson got the win in net.

One night earlier, the Hawks rolled to a 6-0 home ice win over North Vancouver — handing the Wolf Pack (4-1-0-1) their first regulation loss of the season.

The hosts came out with plenty of jump and peppered goaltender Alex Forster. Bourhill finally solved him and goals by Deyrmenjian and Stein followed to close out the period.

North Vancouver had a better middle stanza that included a lengthy stretch with a two-man

BOLHUIS, John Raymond

June 11, 1952 - September 15, 2017 Early Sept 15th local legend “Big John” passed peacefully in his sleep at his lifelong Ladner home.

His death attributed to a heart attack, just 3 months after his 65th birthday, was entirely unexpected. He is greatly missed.

A public celebration of Life will be held at 11AM October 14th at the Christian Reformed Church, 4594 - 54A St Ladner.

More info and photos at ladner.ca/bigjohn

With deepest sorrow we announce the unexpected passing of Chris Ekren.

He leaves behind wife Marie, parents Chad & Rose Mary Ekren, brother Nicholas, Grandfather Salomon Gomes, Grandparents Ray & Kathy Ekren and other loving family and friends. Service will be held September 30th, 1:00pm at South Delta Baptist Church, 1988 - 56 Street, Tsawwassen. In lieu of flowers, you may consider a donation to South Delta Baptist Church in memory of Chris Ekren.
