Caber helps Vegas heal DPD K9 aids shooting victims IAN JACQUES

Caber and his handler Kim Gramlich offered comfort to shooting victims and their families during a six-day visit to Las Vegas.
Comfort, healing, support — just a few things the Delta Police Department’s Victim Services K9 Caber and his handler Kim Gramlich brought to shooting victims and their families during a recent visit to Las Vegas. Coordinated by the FBI’s Office for Victims Assistance, Caber, along with seven other victim advocate and facility dogs from across the U.S., were deployed through the Courthouse Dogs Foundation. They were part of a team to help those impacted by the mass shooting that took place at the Mandalay Bay during a country music festival on Oct. 1. The DPD unit, the only Canadian team deployed, was in Vegas for six days, working at the family assistance centre at the Las Vegas Convention Centre and visiting area hospitals. Gramlich said the FBI had two dogs initially deployed at the centre, but soon realized they were very well received and needed more. “Caber and his counterparts did what they always tend to do, which is draw out healthy emotions in people that they simply need to express.” She said the calming nature of dogs can have a powerful healing effect on people who are suffering stress associated with a traumatic event. “They have the capacity to

reduce people’s blood pressure, lower their heart rate and generally just try and put a smile on their face,” Gramlich said. “It’s very rewarding knowing that we can have such a positive impact this way.” Gramlich said during the hospital visits, faces lit up the moment Caber entered a patient’s room. “In a hospital setting the individual and their families have been removed from their home, their personal space and their comfort zone, so one of the things dogs do is help normalize an experience because it’s kind of just common to sit and pet a dog,” she said. The Labrador retriever has been a part of DPD’s Victim Services since 2010. At the time he was the first accredited facility dog in Canada. Caber was the first dog in B.C. to be with a witness in court and was also deployed in the aftermath of the wildfires in Fort McMurray.

After almost two decades of continuity, there could be a significant shakeup on Delta council in next October’s civic election.

Delta voters are scheduled to go to the polls a year from today in a civic election that could potentially see a dramatic change in the makeup of Delta council. In the past, voters would cast ballots next month at the end of a three-year term for local politicians, but council members and school trustees are now elected for four-year terms, which could play a factor in the political future of several incumbents. The last significant election turnover at the Delta council table occurred in 1999 when Lois Jackson was first elected mayor. Since then, change has been on a gradual basis, with just one or two additions or subtractions each election. The 2014 election saw just one alteration to the council ranks as Heather King returned to the table, taking the seat left vacant after Scott Hamilton, a 12-year veteran of civic politics, became Delta North MLA. However, big changes
are expected next year, highlighted by the race to replace Jackson, who will be retiring after more than four decades on Delta council. In addition to a vacant mayor’s chair, Coun. Ian Paton’s seat will be empty as he’ll focus solely on being MLA for Delta South. Additional council seats could also be up for grabs if any of the incumbents decide to run for the mayor’s job or not seek reelection. As far as the current group, longtime council member Bruce McDonald, who made two pervious runs at the mayor’s seat, confirmed he won’t be a mayoralty candidate next year, but he expects others on council will throw their hats in the ring. “There will be some changes on this council, no doubt about it,” he said. As far as seeking reelection for a council seat, McDonald, who was first elected in 1987, said, “The jury is still out.” Asked if she’s considering the mayor’s job, two-term councilor Sylvia Bishop would only say, “Yes, I have been

Dixon said people have encouraged her to run for all levels of office, including council, and she hasn’t ruled anything out. Her focus, however, is on the work that needs to be done at the school district. Former school board chair Kelly Guichon said she’s considering running but has made no decision as of yet. She said there are quite a few names floating around the community expected to be potential candidates. Nicholas Wong, who ran second as an independent endorsed by outgoing MLA Vicki Huntington in Delta South in May’s provincial election, said he’s been encouraged to run and is considering it. He ran for council in 2014. Hamilton, who lost May’s provincial election to the NDP’s Ravi Kahlon, hasn’t ruled out a return to the council table. “Let’s see where life takes me over the next few months before I make any kind of decision,” he said. He added he knows “for a fact” some on council won’t be running again while others are eyeing the mayor’s seat.

A province-wide campaign was launched this week encouraging drivers and large trucks to share the road responsibly in the hopes of reducing the number of crashes and fatalities in B.C. Be Truck Aware, led by an alliance of B.C. road safety stakeholders, coincides with Operation Safe Driver week, a continentwide initiative in which police and commercial vehicle safety and enforce-
ment (CVSE) officers will be ticketing drivers of both cars and trucks for failing to share the road and follow safe driving practices. “Our traffic section combined with our CVSE units are consistently working to enhance safety on our roadways,” said Delta police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks. “It is important that we all do our part to avoid collisions and carnage on our roadways.” According to the provincial government, large commercial vehicles are
involved in one-in-five traffic fatalities in B.C. Across North America, studies have shown that in car-truck crashes, occupants of the passenger vehicle are at far greater risk of being killed and the majority of fatal car-truck crashes are caused by passenger vehicle drivers. Be Truck Aware is a combined campaign of education and enforcement. The campaign runs until Oct. 31. To learn more see: www.gov.bc.ca/betruckaware.

Ladner family gives back in a big way
Couple helps fill 75 spots at blood donor clinic after two-year-old son experiences health scare 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
A young family from Ladner, along with 75 of their family members and friends, gave back at a Canadian Blood Services donor clinic at the Ladner Community Centre Wednesday. The outpouring of support was a way of saying thanks following a serious medical emergency the family experienced this summer. Carly Walsh and her husband Ryan knew giving blood was important, but the couple truly didn’t realize how important it was until its two-year-old son Smyth desperately needed it. Smyth was rushed to hospital in August where he was diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome, a blood clotting disease caused by an E. coli infection. Smyth’s treatment required that he and his mom spend 15 days at BC Children’s Hospital. Smyth was on dialysis and had two surgeries, one to put in his

Carly Walsh and husband Ryan got family and friends out to a blood donor clinic in Ladner Wednesday as a show of thanks for the blood transfusions son Smyth received during the summer. catheter and one to take it out. As part of his treatment, he received three blood transfusions and a platelet transfusion. Carly said she had given blood in the past, but
after the health scare, they knew they had to do more. “My husband and I thought the least we could do after coming out of this experience was to start to help others who are in need of blood,” she said.

“We live in the incredible community of Ladner and Tsawwassen and that’s how we were able to fill all those spots. So many people were just so willing to jump on board and didn’t hesitate.”
She said when they got the idea to reach out to the community, they posted a message on Facebook and within two hours all the spots were filled. “Encouraging blood donations is our way of
giving back for the care we received in hospital,” Carly added. “It’s incredible to see people reach out like they did. When you see your own son needing blood it really hits home. Someone out there donated and I will never know who that person is, but I can’t thank them enough.” Carly said Smyth is happier and healthier than ever. “He fought so hard to become healthy again. His kidneys are now fully functional and we’re so grateful he’s healthy,” she said. David Patterson, director of donor relations with Canadian Blood Services, said the organization is grateful for the Walsh family’s efforts to give back. “Carly and her family saw the impact that giving blood had on their son’s life and were so appreciative they chose to put together this blood drive to not only 75 people, but 75 potential new donors into our system who will hopefully continue to donate blood in the future and help more people in need.”

Friends helping pay Mike Hamill’s medical bills IAN JACQUES

Friends of Mike Hamill have started a GoFundMe page to help raise funds to pay for his mounting medical bills. As reported in September by the Optimist, Hamill, the owner of Tsawwassen Springs Fitness, was seriously injured in a freak boating accident during a fishing trip near Haida Gwaii in late June. With serious injuries, including a broken back in three places and a crushed spinal cord, Hamill was flown to Prince Rupert and then onto Vancouver General Hospital where he underwent an 11-hour surgery. He was rendered a paraplegic as a result of the accident. “I have the use of my arms, but I have no feeling from my chest down. It’s now getting used to my new life in a wheelchair,” he told the Optimist last month. Hamill spent five weeks in VGH’s intensive care unit and another five weeks in its acute short-

Armstrong named Fire Chief of Year CAYLEY DOBIE
N e w We s t Re c o rd
Ladner resident Tim Armstrong always wanted to be a firefighter and after 36 years of service, he was recently recognized as Fire Chief of the Year by the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs. “It’s totally unexpected. It was nice considering it was a cross-Canada award,” Armstrong said. “It’s nice to be recognized by your peers and other community leaders.” Armstrong received the award at the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs gala last month in Vancouver. Each year, the association recognizes a handful of fire chiefs for dedication to the fire service. “It’s really not about one person, it’s all about a team effort. Somebody’s got to lead the team, but it’s all about relationships and collaboration and building your network and having people buy into your vision,” he said. Armstrong became the

When he came onboard in New West, he had two things in mind – protecting citizens and his members. “The work that the firefighters do is dangerous, it’s challenging,” he said. “So my vision is about equipping them and training them and giving them every opportunity to be the best they can be at their profession.” New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote said
Armstrong’s dedication to the fire department and to the community is evident throughout the city, adding that the recognition is “well deserved.” City of New Westminster CAO Lisa Spitale said Armstrong is an extraordinary fire chief. “His professionalism, dedication to his department and commitment to public safety are all components for this welldeserved award,” said Spitale. — With files from Ian Jacques

Crowded hearing spread over two days Liquor licence transfer and Ladner Village redevelopment among eight applications on agenda 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 pair of contentious proposals will be among eight applications heard at a public hearing scheduled over two days next week. On Monday at city hall residents will get a chance to voice their opinions on an application to transfer the liquor licence of the former Rusty Anchor Pub to the clubhouse at the Links at Hampton Cove. Delta council gave preliminary approval last month for Captain’s Cove Marina to move the licence of the now-demolished Ferry Road drinking establishment to the golf course clubhouse on Admiral Boulevard. Despite the applicant receiving several letters of support, many letters have poured into city hall expressing opposition, including one from the Neilson Grove Elementary parent advisory council. Several letters objected to the licensing of the clubhouse, citing lack of washrooms and public

A proposal for a mixed use building on Delta Street in Ladner Village includes demolishing a century-old building now home to a barber shop. urination, foul language by golfers, slowing down of play and increased risk of wayward balls. After hearing concerns, the applicant made a few revisions to the proposal, including reducing the requested hours of operation to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. A Delta staff report notes it’s not uncommon for a golf course to
have a liquor licence and Delta currently has four — Beach Grove, Tsawwassen Springs, Kings Links and Delta Golf Course. Coun. Ian Paton noted the small clubhouse wouldn’t become a fullblown pub. The transfer request requires council’s blessing before it can be sent to the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch
where approval is also required. On Tuesday residents will have their say on a redevelopment proposal on Delta Street in Ladner Village that would see an existing heritage building torn down to make way for a two-and-a-half-storey mixed use building. Home to a barber shop, the structure at 4868 Delta St. 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. Much of council’s discussion before the application was sent to a public hearing focused on parking issues. At an earlier advisory design panel meeting,
project architect Wesley Wollin said Ladner Village is experiencing challenges from outside economic and development forces and that his project “symbolizes the will to survive through revitalization.” He said Delta Street needs both shops and services as well as residents who will inhabit the area after business hours, helping ensure the viability of restaurants and services. Several residents via social media and letters to council have voiced opposition to the loss of the heritage building. Coun. Bruce McDonald said based on input, so far, a number of speakers are expected at the hearing. Spreading it out over a couple of days means people don’t have to sit for hours waiting for their turn to speak. There are three applications on Monday’s agenda and five on Tuesday, including a proposal to add seven homes to the former Delta Lodge property on Arthur Drive. The public hearing begins at 7 p.m. both days.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY
t’s a step in the right direction. When Delta banned the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits from retail stores earlier this week it joined a growing list of jurisdictions across North America that have made such a move in an effort to put a dent in unscrupulous puppy mills. Selling pets in a retail environment seems like the practice of a bygone era, so much so that Delta and Vancouver, which enacted similar legislation earlier this year, each had just one such establishment doing so in 2017. Many reputable breeders won’t sell to retail stores, and in some cases industry organizations prohibit them from doing so, which often means shops must turn to breeding operations with — How shall I put this? — lesser reputations. That’s certainly not always the case and I imagine there are many examples where everything is just fine, but animal advocates believe there’s a significant enough connection between the two that banning retail sales will have a positive effect. That’s not to say it will spell the end of puppy mills because they have the ability to cut out the middle man and sell directly to the consumer, who might be tempted to look the other way if the particular breed of dog they’re after is a couple hundred bucks, or more, cheaper. What I like the best about legislation that Delta and others have adopted is the push for would-be dog owners to think of shelters and rescue groups when they’re in the market for a new furry friend. There are thousands of animals, through no fault of their own, in the care of these organizations that would make great family pets if only given the chance. I must admit I’m biased in that regard as I’ve got a pair of big brown eyes staring up at me from under the desk as I write this column. Lacey was emaciated, almost hairless and trying to care for a litter of puppies when she was rescued by the shelter in Prince Rupert, but that sight for sore eyes has since blossomed into a fantastic family pet, persistent drooling notwithstanding. It’s been almost 65 years since Patti Page reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart with (How Much is) That Doggie in the Window? The practice of retail sales of animals seems as outdated as the song.
Gala exposes young people to a future in food business
T
he Dirt and Candlelight Gala fundraiser three weeks ago was an unqualified success. The event hosted by the Delta School District was created to raise funds for two innovative programming initiatives, the Delta Farm Roots Mini School and the Performance Academy with the Vancouver Opera. The event was a sellout and was unique in so many ways. Performance art, and food art, were married during the evening and the entertainment and food was fantastic. District officials, board of education members, farmers, educators, local residents and supporters all gathered in the cozy confines of a beautifully decorated massive tent that sat on the former Boundary Beach Elementary field just metres from the three-quarter-acre farm where most of the vegetables for the meal were grown. The event was truly a fine example that community building is alive and well in our backyard. Thanks to the Delta Agricultural Society and Jack Bates for their generous $10,000 donation, to MLA and auctioneer Ian Paton, to Four Winds Brewery and Peller Estates, to White Spot and Pat Quinn’s, and to all of the others who bought tables and donated to the live and silent auctions. Thanks also to the district’s Brooke Moore and Paige Hansen who spent countless hours to

make the gala as spectacular as it was. Anthony and Sophie, owners of Urban Wood Fired Pizza, were caterers for the big night and they toured the Farm Roots with Moore and myself early in the week of the event to come up with a menu. Some ingredients were harvested that day and others a mere three hours before dinner. I have eaten lots of types of pizza in Italy and elsewhere but this was some of the best gourmet pizza I have ever had. Black Krim and Tiger Paw heirloom tomatoes, several pounds of grape and cherry tomatoes, acorn squash, Thai and sweet basil, market-more cucumbers, leeks, Anaheim Serrano and bell peppers all made it into the meal. Who grew these vegetables? Who served the meals? Who worked the dish-pit inside the school? Kids. Yes, students in our secondary school system did a
lot of the hard work behind the scenes and this is very encouraging indeed. The business of food contributes roughly $14 billion to our economy but careers within it are often taken for granted and more often than not, our kids aren’t as exposed to opportunities for success in the business of food. The kids that participated were surrounded by examples on gala night. Participating food and beverage businesses, food truck entrepreneurs, brewers, vintners and farmers showed the diversity of the business of food. Events like this not only help to raise funds for important programming for our kids but they also serve to remind us about how farms, food and the economy are all intricately connected. A real world living example of this connection and a community built around food and farming is just around the corner on the Southlands and the kids will have opportunity to hone their skills there as well. To support the unique programming through bursary and scholarship opportunities, and to help kids participate that might not otherwise have the chance, contact the Delta School District to help out if you can.

Plan already exists for light rail to valley, but no action taken
Editor: Re: Mayor still pushing for Fraser Valley light rail, Oct. 11 There is already a viable rail plan for the Fraser Valley. It is called the Leewood Study, which was commissioned by Rail for the Valley and done by Leewood Projects (UK) in 2009. The report was delivered in September 2010 and though it was warmly received abroad by transit specialists, it has remained ignored by local planners and politicians. The study showed that by using the existing former BC Electric rail line from Vancouver and Richmond, going to Chilliwack via the Fraser River Rail Bridge, a regional electric rail service, with
three trains per hour per direction, could be built for just under $1 billion ($1.12 billion accounting for inflation in 2017). In recent conversation with Leewood Projects, an hourly Vancouver service to Chilliwack light diesel multiple units could be installed for $750 million. Compare this to TransLink’s now rumoured $4-billion, seven-kilometre Broadway subway or over $2 billion for Surrey’s ill-planned LRT. Rail for the Valley even had private financing ready to go for the project but no one at TransLink, Metro Vancouver or the province was interested. Stumping the Fraser Valley municipalities for a hypothetical LRT line from
Richmond, through Delta up the Fraser Valley, with no plan or cost estimates, to gain support for an expensive 10-lane bridge, is more than cynical. To be successful, the proposed LRT must service Downtown Vancouver, which is not mentioned in the mayor’s plan. If LRT were to use the proposed mega bridge, the cost of the bridge will escalate by about $1 billion to accommodate rail, as one just not adds rails to a road bridge. With the Expo and Millennium/Evergreen lines fast approaching their legal capacity and the under-built Canada Line showing the strains of political interference, both light-metro systems
Approval voting is simpler method
Editor: The B.C. referendum next year must include a simpler fair voting method for selecting acceptable candidates to represent us in our legislature. Single transferable vote, ranked preferential ballots and mixed member systems are much too complex for most people to understand or follow in real time. One much simpler vot-
ing method is approval voting where the voter can select one or more candidates deemed acceptable on their ballot. Each selection is given equal weight, thus counting the number of votes each candidate gets is straight forward. The candidates that get the most votes for seats available win. Ties for the last seat can be resolved by a flip of a coin. Approval voting has
been used to select the secretary general of the United Nations and board members of many professional societies. Approval voting should increase voter participation, prevent minor-party candidates from being spoilers and reduce negative campaigning.

Six-storey building should be concrete
Editor: For years developers have been claiming they couldn’t justify building in concrete unless they were allowed to go to six storeys or more, so why is the Town Centre Mall development Block A going to be built in wood? No doubt somebody
W E N
PERSONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
will claim that wood construction supports our forestry industry, but using wood doesn’t produce the quality that consumers deserve. Besides, building in concrete supports our concrete industry as well as home buyers. And, no doubt, some will claim that wood
frame construction is more resistant of earthquakes when in fact recent research has revealed that wood frame buildings do not resist earthquakes as well as previously claimed. Surely, Deltans deserve the best in building standards. Greg J. Edwards
need about $4.5 billion in rebuilding and retrofitting to increase capacity and reliability. With the current obsolete light-metro system gobbling up precious tax dollars, there will be little appetite for an illconceived and hugely expensive LRT line, championed by a mayor who also supports an equally ill-conceived mega bridge. But a $750 million regional rail line, using existing track, serving the Fraser Valley may just get the nod as Rail for the Valley has the plans that will attract private financing. All that is lacking is the political will to make it happen. Malcolm Johnston Rail for the Valley
Vote favoured becoming city
Editor: Re: Province OKs Delta’s bid to become city, Oct. 13 Further to the story of Delta now becoming a city, I would like to clarify a couple of points. When someone tells me there is going to be a vote, I assume there will be those in favour and those against. In this case, there was only those who wanted to vote against as it was assumed everybody was in favour. Now if you do not let people know that this was the case, there will be a very low turnout, as can be seen by the numbers. I suggest that if people had to vote in favour of Delta becoming a city the numbers for will be similar to those against. The reason for this is that there is no advantage to the man in the street in it becoming a city.
Changing from a corporation to a city only satisfies the standing of the few. Now we have a situation where the corporation (sorry, city) wants to turn the centre of Tsawwassen into a “retail village concept to energize the central location.” Firstly, I have never seen a village that has eight (yes, eight) six-storey buildings (or higher if some people have their way). Secondly, building a six-storey complex abutting 56th Street will create an eyesore. I suggest that if corporation (sorry again, city) likes the idea of having a vote which actually does effect everyone then this is a perfect situation. Let the people of Tsawwassen decide what to do and not let seven people decide its future. Ivor Hewitt Keep it Sunny Tsawwassen

Journalism matters more today than ever BOB COX JERRY DIAS EDWARD GREENSPON
On Sept. 1, an agency of the Canadian government directed nearly $100-million to support local television news. Suddenly, more local television reporters are working stories on more broadcasts across Canada. But why just television? Why not newspapers or digital-only publications? It’s the reporting of news that’s important, not the platform on which it resides. The answer is purely bureaucratic. Television is regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which collects a levy on the revenues of cable and satellite distributors and then redirects the funds into producing content deemed to serve the public good, such as television news. Other parts of the Government of Canada, supported by the same taxpayers, have so far resisted measures to
bolster an industry that plays an essential role in our democracy, one that’s even explicitly written into the Charter of Rights. The situation is bad and getting worse. More and more newspaper jobs are disappearing — at least one in three since 2010 by our count — and newspaper closings in more than 200 federal ridings have loosened the social glue news provides to communities. These reporter-intensive organizations are the tributaries for much of the news about democratic institutions generated in Canada, both in print and online. Digital news startups in Canada, with a few exceptions, so far have been unable to fill the growing deficit in reporting capacity. Please adjust the dial. There’s something wrong with this picture. This isn’t a good time to allow the weakening of news organizations. We are seeing in the United States the critical role newspaper companies, particularly The New York Times and
The Washington Post, are playing in keeping the public informed of deep stresses in their democracy. The classic relationship between whistle-blowers and reporters can’t work if the latter become an endangered species. In Canada, the threat is more acute because the market is smaller. Canadian daily newspapers have seen more than half their ad revenues — about $1.5 billion — bleed away over the past decade, most of it going to Google and Facebook, which together served up more than eight out of 10 digital ads in Canada last year. Unfortunately, they don’t invest in generating news. Meanwhile, as the sources of verifiable news dry up, fake news — designed to disorient and disillusion the public — proliferates. Making something up or simply distorting facts costs a fraction of real reporting. Whether for commercial, partisan, ideological or geopolitical reasons, it represents a direct assault on our democracy. Again, there’s
news organizations and unions to propose solutions that would support employment of reporters and investment in innovation without sacrificing media independence or shutting out new competitors. Out of this process came a proposal to add a new component to the well-established Canadian Periodical Fund, one that would support journalism of a civic, or democratic enhancing, nature. This new Canadian Journalism Fund would feature a pre-programmed formula to cover 30 per cent of the costs of reporting, creating an incentive to hire rather than fire reporters, and, critically, denying governments the discretion to play favourites. We have established a definition for who qualifies and an appeals process independent of government. As well, companies would be forbidden from diverting the funds to dividends, bonuses and debt payments. There are those who rightly worry any government involvement would
something wrong with this picture. In many places, calling the mayor the day after council meetings for an account of what happened constitutes coverage of city hall. Even in provincial capitals, some governments go uncovered in between legislative sessions and fewer specialists work the corridors of power in Ottawa. From a public-policy point of view, this raises vexing questions. Nobody wants to give governments leverage over the reporters meant to hold them to account. That said, the CBC is both publicly funded and independent, so it’s not an impossible task. We see two problems that cry out for attention: getting more reporters on the ground and financing innovation so that news producers can keep up with ever-evolving consumption habits. Last April, on the heels of The Shattered Mirror report on news, democracy and truth in Canada, the Public Policy Forum brought together about 40

compromise a free press. But a broke press isn’t much of a free press. Others contend it’s best to wait for news organizations to go bankrupt and then pick up the pieces. But once in bankruptcy court, it is the debt holders and not the public interest that is served, as we saw in 2010 when Postmedia emerged out of bankruptcy court with bondholders as owners and an unbearable burden of debt. Some say the companies seeking assistance are doomed in any case. That may be true, but established news companies and start-ups should be given five years to prove they can make a go of it. The alternative of more and more fake news and less and less reported news is antithetical to the precepts of a healthy democracy.

New MLA is keeping busy on many fronts MLA’s Report IAN PATON
I am honoured and humbled to be writing my first column for this paper as the member of legislative assembly for Delta South. The first couple of months as a new MLA are always daunting. The first few months as a new
MLA in a minority British Columbia legislature are another experience altogether. Along with the usual tasks of learning how to study legislation in committee, ask a question in question period and memorize the standing orders of the house, I have taken on the additional challenge of navigating the strenuous and often exciting world of minority government, where every vote really does count. My colleagues in the house have been kind and gracious to me as a new member. I have received warm wishes not just from the BC Liberal caucus, but from many NDP and Green MLAs as well. I hope to build on these relationships in the
months ahead to deliver results for our community. In August, our interim leader Rich Coleman named me agriculture critic for the official Opposition. In this role, I have the privilege of representing farmers in Delta and across the province. As agriculture critic, I will fight to preserve farmland and protect the rights of farmers whose livelihoods were devastated by this summer’s terrible forest fires. In addition to this role, I have been named deputy chair of the legislative assembly standing committee on health, where I will work with MLAs from all three parties to improve access to quality healthcare services in British Columbia.
Halfway through the fall session, I have had the privilege of speaking many times in the legislature. I have made statements congratulating the Delta Agricultural Society on 125 years of service to our community, as well as acknowledging the new Reach Child and Youth Development Centre completing construction at Memorial Park. I have also spoken at length about the need to move forward with a replacement for the aging and seismically unsafe George Massey Tunnel. On a local level, I am happy to report that my constituency office is up and running at 4805 Delta St. in Ladner Village. Please feel free to drop by and say hi, email us at ian.
paton.mla@leg.bc.ca or give us a call at 604-9407930. My two constituency assistants, Dylan Kruger and Anisha Virk, will be happy to assist you. In my local office, I have held meetings with several stakeholders, including Fraser Health, TransLink, the Ladner Sediment Group, MP Carla Qualtrough and the City of Delta, to find resolutions to the unique challenges facing our community. I hope to use this column to keep our community updated on these efforts in the months ahead. I am also excited to announce that I will be seeking applications from high school students and young adults aged 15 to 22 to form a Delta South Youth Advisory Council.
The youth council will meet once a month to advise me of issues of concern to young people in our riding, and gain valuable volunteer and leadership experience. Interested applicants who are passionate about making a difference and serving our community can email their resume and a one-page cover letter to ian.paton.mla@leg. bc.ca. The deadline to apply is Friday, Nov. 3 at 5 p.m. Once again, I would like to thank the constituents of Delta South for placing your trust in me. The role of MLA is one which I do not take lightly. I look forward to fighting for issues that matter to our community in the legislature over the coming years.
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

Delta families are encouraged to lace up their running shoes to help support the Delta Hospital Foundation and the Surrey Food Bank at the inaugural Run for Delta. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of B.C. is host-
ing the run on Sunday, Oct. 29 at the North Delta Recreation Centre. The day kicks off with a free continental breakfast at 8 a.m. with the walk, jog or run starting at 9 a.m. The family-oriented event will have one-kilometre and five-kilometre courses with the start and finish at the recreation centre. Single entry is $35,
The inaugural Run for Delta will be held on Sunday, Oct. 29 at the North Delta Recreation Centre. family entry (two adults, two youths) is $100 and a friends entry (four people) is $120. Participants will receive a complimentary T-shirt and race kit. Following the event, a barbecue lunch will be served for $5. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson will be on hand to kick off the event as will Delta South MLA Ian Paton, Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon and Delta MP Carla Qualtrough. Paton will also be the auctioneer for a live auction fundraiser following the run. Race director Irfan Chaudhry said the community response has been phenomenal with more than 300 registrations and great support from the City of Delta, Delta School District, Delta Police Department and other community organizations. “We are looking to make this first year very successful right from the get go,” Chaudhry said. “The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is very excited to be a part of this.” Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has organized a series of runs across

Canada under the Run for Canada banner since 2004. “Delta is a very diverse community geographically speaking, population wise as well, so this is a way of giving back and we encourage all people of Delta to participate,” added Chaudhry. “The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community aims to give back to our community. Delta Hospital may be in the south, but many Delta residents in the north also utilize that facility. I know people from Surrey that cross boundaries that utilize these facilities. As our community grows, so do our needs, so it is important, we feel, that residents give back to support these organizations. This run is a way of doing that.” Pre-event registration is encouraged at www. runfordelta.com although there will also be day of registration available. All proceeds from the Run for Delta will go to support the Delta Hospital Foundation and the Surrey Food Bank, which operates the North Delta Food Depot.

Tiana, my daughter who lives with Down syndrome, attended We Day with some of her friends and classmates this past Wednesday. Karina Leblanc was one of the celebrity speakers who came to meet the group Tiana was with. Along with a photo together, Tiana and Karina were able to share their stories of receiving Olympic medals, Karina as an Olympian for the Canadian women’s soccer team and Tiana as a Special Olympian for rhythmic gymnastics. It was a special moment of sharing common ground across all abilities. Jean Vanier, in his August letter to the L’Arche
Minister’s Minute DANIEL KIRKEGAARD
Tsawwassen United Church
Communities worldwide, wrote: “God is watching over us all because he wants to see the poor and those who are weakest integrated into the human family: they have … an
important place in order to re-enchant humanity and restore hope in a world that is sometimes so anxious and so unstable due to violence and fear.” When we enter into relationship “… with all those who are weak and humiliated, those who are rejected and seen as having no value… we discover that in living a genuine relationship with them, they transform us, humanize us and draw us closer to God.” I would hope that we may all have such life giving experiences. Please keep Jean Vanier in your prayers as he has been in hospital since Oct. 10 and will have surgery to have a stent to support the functioning of his heart.

As in past years there will be a haunted house, trick-or-treating, children’s activities, hayrides and more at the free event. Fright Fest is geared towards all ages, from little babies in strollers to seniors volunteering at McKee Seniors Recreation Centre or enjoying the event with their grandkids, says City of Delta recreation program coordinator Kelly Wilson. It also helps build some Halloween spirit before the celebration’s actual Oct. 31 date, she adds. “This is something cool to do so you can get the most out of Halloween. It’s a little bit before Halloween so you can get into the spirit of it,” she says. Delta staffers are teaming up with youth actors for the haunted house attraction at the McKee heritage home. There will be guided tours through the upstairs and downstairs floors of the house, which will feature spooky settings like a funeral parlour along with séance and clown rooms. McKee seniors will once again host trick-or-treating at the McKee Seniors Recreation Centre and Wilson notes there will also be a meal deal at the centre’s Kee Café. There will be Roaming Rascals Halloween kids’ activities at the Ladner
Games (above) and a haunted house (below) are part of the annual Family Fright Fest in Ladner. Community Centre while the Boys and Girls club will put on “mad scientist games” for older youth.

She says the event has received sponsorship from the Ladner Legion and the Ladner branch of Envision Financial.

Music is just what the doctor ordered An Art-full Life
MEG & MARY ANN
We all have a favourite song or type of music. You know, the type of music that gets your feet tapping, that has you humming along to the tune and moves your soul. Music is a universal way of communicating: words, rhythm, lyrics and notes have the unique potential to lift our spirits, inspire and motivate us, and serve as a reminder of our blessings and surroundings. It’s no surprise then, that music is a highly effective intervention when it comes to our health. Music therapy, or using music in therapeutic ways, is beneficial for people of all ages, cultures and abilities to support their
cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Incorporating music is now a standard intervention in hospital wards, community centres and many health organizations. Music practitioners and therapists, community workers and volunteers are being integrated into medical teams with disaster relief, in neonatal intensive care units, in hospice care, and with individuals and children with a variety of medical conditions. Here are the top three reasons music is such an effective tool: 1. Music is good for your mental health, heart and soul The emotional and expressive nature of music (lyrics, beat, movement, musical arrangement) can help us relate to others, identify our feelings and provide an accessible way to reflect on aspects of our life. Research shows that incorporating music into your life, whether it be on your own, a group, or with a trained music therapist, can help relieve symp-
toms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions and chronic pain. Listening to uplifting music can also promote cardiovascular health by reducing the stress-related hormone cortisol, and aid in the rehabilitation from strokes, surgeries and injuries. Music has had a long tradition in religious and spiritual practices throughout history. From ancient songs and chants, hymns, to contemporary forms of worship, music provides a way to explore our own spirituality, enhance coping skills, inspire hope and provide encouragement. 2. Music is good for your brain and body Just like other therapeutic activities such as art or physical exercise, music engages both the right and left side of the brain and requires con-
centration and hand/eye/ ear communication. This cross-communication increases blood flow in the brain and releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that heightens feelings of euphoria, empathy, contentment and love. As our brain interprets musical notes, content, sound and beat in complex ways, studies show that different types of music actually have an effect on us in different ways. It’s no surprise that rock and roll can give our mood and energy a boost, whereas classical music and the blues calm us and steadies our breathing, but
who knew that jazz and reggae help to calm us but also help dissipate anger issues. Music can also ease treatment symptoms in cancer patients, provide a backdrop to meditation or mindfulness-based practices for those with chronic conditions and persistent pain, and be used in dementia care. For instance, making music alongside Alzheimer’s patients helps to stimulates cognitive activity and enhance communication skills, has shown in some cases to reduce the reliance of medication, reduce physical aggression and improve mood. Moving our bodies with music helps to connect the body and mind, and provides another outlet with which to respond to music. Caregivers who incorporate music as part of their regimen have an increased satisfaction when interacting with patients. 3. Music builds social connections Studies show those with vulnerable health condi-
tions not only benefit from music when they listen to it or play it, but especially when they are participating in the music making process with others. Whether it is a drumming circle, a garage band, a music therapy group or a choir, music making can be accessed by a wide range of individuals with verbal/non-verbal skills, physical and mobility issues, and cognitive impairment. Making music together enhances our quality of life, helps us to communicate with others and helps us to develop a positive peer group support network. Music has the capacity to bring people together and inspires social change; it also has the power to build and strengthen meaningful social relationships.

Physiotherapist offers help for low back pain
Well on Your Way P.J. WREN
Do you suffer from low back pain? Chances are five out of every 10 of you reading this column do (assuming more people than just my husband reads this). The Canadian Chiropractor Association reports that up to 85 per cent of working people can expect to experience some sort of low back pain during their lifetime. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of people in pain. In today’s static world, filled with poor posture, inactive bodies and core muscles as tight as jelly, it’s really not that much of a surprise. Heck, even seemingly healthy people who workout on a regular basis can be plagued by low back pain every so often (yours truly included). So, what can we do to treat low back pain, and even better, how can we avoid it in the first place? To help us make the right choices for our low back, I have recruited three popular professionals in the Delta area - a physiotherapist, a chiropractor and a registered massage therapist. For today’s column, Travis Wolsey, physiotherapist and owner of
Sungod Physiotherapy in Ladner, North Delta and Tsawwassen (www.sungodphysio.com), will help us understand low back pain and its treatment, as well as some tips on how to prevent it. (Stay tuned for my next column to hear from Dr. Emily Baas, chiropractor at Fiskco Health + Performance.) Wolsey explains that the majority of acute low back pain is usually mechanical in nature, meaning there is a disruption in the way the components of the back (which include the spine, the muscles, intervertebral discs and nerves) fit together and move. Some examples of mechanical problems are muscle strains - often from lifting, reaching, excessive sitting and using poor mechanics in movement. Joint (articular) sprains is another issue. The joints that connect the vertebrae (called facet joints) can sprain just like any other joint in the body. This often happens with excessive bending, lifting and twisting, as well as overuse and poor posture. Mechanical problems can also come from a joint in the back being hypermobile or hypomobile. Wosley says that while a hypermobile joint is OK, if the muscles that surround that joint can’t control things then dysfunction and pain can occur. A common hypermobile joint in the low back are the sacroiliac joints (SI joint). Your SI joint is a critical linkage system between your lower spine and pelvis and requires a strong core, specifically the transversus and obliques, to control
and stabilize the joints. Hypomobility (stiffness) can also cause a problem with the low back, as it often creates hypermobility somewhere else to accommodate the stiffness. The discs, which hold the vertebrae together, can also break down and become a source of discomfort when they start to press on a nerve. So, how can a physiotherapist help with low back pain? Well, a physiotherapist can help identify what the problem is, which is important for proper treatment. Once the problem has been identified, physiotherapy treatment can include exercise to stretch the tight muscle, strength exercises to control the movement of the spine (core), muscle release techniques including IMS, acupuncture, foam rolling and electrotherapeutic modalities like TENS to desensitize the muscle and help it relax. Joint manipulation or mobilization may also be used, as well as spinal traction for decompression or manipulation. Will a physiotherapist be able to relieve the pain right away? Wolsey says sometimes yes and sometimes no. In his experience, when problems have been in the making for years it often takes several visits to retrain and correct the underlying problem. However, if someone simply tweaks their back they can get resolution quite quickly from manual therapy and IMS. PJ Wren is a trainer and writer who can be found at www.thestudio.ca.

The Sidekick Players Club, which is currently staging Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre, will be holding auditions next week for its second production of the season. Set in Winnipeg from 1910 to 1917, Wendy Lill’s The Fighting Days focuses on the life and work of Francis Marion Beynon, a Manitoba journalist and political activist. When she arrives in Winnipeg, she meets Nellie McClung and becomes involved in the Votes-for-Women movement. Suddenly, Canada is involved in the First World War, and the conscription crisis divides the suffragists: should all women have the vote, or just Dominion-born women who are sending their husbands and sons off to battle? Should women use their votes to push for conscription or to lobby for a swift end to the war? The Fighting Days runs Jan. 18 to Feb. 3, 2018

By stimulating collagen growth with Dermapen, you can also reverse sun damage and has an added bonus of tightening loose skin, which makes it great for older men and women. Dermapen can address face wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, facial lines, stretch marks, pore size reduction and skin tightening. This procedure is well tolerated and it isn’t exclusive to the face area. The treatment can be done anywhere in the body. Dermapen may sound intimidating because of the word “needle”, but the treatment is considered one of the safest skin treatments available. Unlike deep chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser treatments, Dermapen has very little to no downtime.

Yoga is for Every Body Open Space Yoga owner, Gerry Sylvester, thinks it’s too bad that yoga ads primarily feature young, thin people and the 1% who can twist like a pretzel, “It’s made the average person think, ‘I’m not flexible enough, I’m too big, or I’m too old to do yoga,’ and nothing could be further from the truth.” He adds, “Our members are all ages, sizes, and abilities. All you need are sweatpants and a willingness to try – we even have mats you can borrow.” Gerry started doing yoga because he kept injuring himself in sports. “As I got older and spent more time sitting at a desk, I lost a lot of my core strength – my back hurt and I ached all the time.” Yoga increased Gerry’s strength, improved his posture, and relieved his pain, “but I’ll never get my head to my knees,” he laughs, “because that’s just not how my body works.”
Yoga is about working with your body That brings Gerry to another important point. “Yoga is about working with your body – our experienced teachers can show you how to adapt poses. We don’t have mirrors in our studio; we encourage our students to focus on their own practice, not to look at the person next to them and compare. We want you to get stronger and more flexible, but in a way that’s right for you.”

Delta Islanders standout Haiden Dickson now for certain will be launching his junior career next season after a motion to drop intermediate and expand junior to five years was overwhelmingly approved at B.C. Lacrosse’s AGM last weekend in Whistler.
A new look for junior lacrosse
A motion to expand level to 5 yrs & drop intermediate is overwhelmingly approved MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
A revamped age structure for junior lacrosse in B.C. is welcome news for the Delta Islanders. A motion to replace the B.C. Intermediate Lecrosse Leagues with expanded tiers of Junior “B” was overwhelmingly approved at a senior directorate meeting last weekend at B.C. Lacrosse’s AGM in Whistler. Starting next season, there will be three tiers of Junior “B,” in addition to the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League, for players ranging from 17 to 21 years of age. The format is identical to Ontario — considered B.C.’s longtime rival in all levels of lacrosse. It has just taken this long for voting executive in B.C. to warm up to the idea. The motion passed by a 60-3 margin. “It’s been talked about for over 10 years here,” said Islanders general manager Greg Rennie. “It had been voted down on numerous occasions but I think this time it was finally explained properly and how it will actually keep more
players in the game.” The Islanders will work together with Delta Lacrosse in the coming weeks to discuss how the new structure will look locally. Junior “B” tier one will indirectly take the place of the Intermediate “A” level and be considered a top prospects league for the BCJALL. The winner will also move on to the Founder’s Cup national junior “B” championships — a tournament a B.C. team has not won in its 45-year history. Junior “B” tier two is expected to be run in the Lower Mainland by the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League where the Islanders have played for years. The third tier of Junior “B” will provide an opportunity for Intermediate “B” equivalent players to stay in the game until they are 21. “That is one of the big selling points (of the new structure),” continued Rennie. “B.C. Lacrosse wants more kids to be playing junior. Before, most of those Intermediate ‘B’ kids would just quit with so few opportunities for them.” The big advantage for BCJALL
clubs is the “grey area” has now been eliminated for the elite players who are good enough to go right from Midget to Junior “A.” Often they were carded by Intermediate “A” teams and used as regular call-ups so they had eligibility for both leagues. However, the juggling act resulted in heavy workloads and the higher risk of injuries. The Islanders organization faced that dilemma last season thanks to a strong 2000-born age group that won the provincial Midget A1 title a year earlier. They were all carded as Intermediate “A” players and were called-up for a total of 29 games. The same scenario was staring at the club in 2018. Age those players up to junior “A” or let them try to win a provincial title as secondyear Intermediates? Sunday’s vote answered that question and then some. Now 2001 born standouts — such as Ohio State University field lacrosse commit Mitch Sandberg — is on a clear path to play junior “A” next season. The annual midget league draft

now means those players will immediately be joining their junior clubs and assigned accordingly. “(2000 born) Guys like Jake Cantlon, Haiden Dickson and Mark Yingling are junior ‘A’ level players. Now there is no doubt where they will be playing,” added Rennie. “You are going to see the overall talent level of the league improve. Those No. 5 to No. 18 players on the roster are going to be that much better because there is going to be so much more competition now as a five-year program.” Other items on the Islanders executive agenda include appointing coaches for all four junior teams. Kyle Goundrey is expected to be back for his second-season guiding the “A” team, while Rennie says he has candidates in mind for the other three. Game nights for the three Junior “B” teams also has to be sorted out. Friday and Mondays are expected to be utilized for two of them. Rennie wouldn’t mind seeing the tier three team play on Saturdays as part of a doubleheader with the “A” team.

Derksen having big year at TWU Ladner’s Danae Derksen has been recognized for her strong play with the Trinity Western University women’s soccer team. The fourth-year striker was named Canada West’s Second Star of the Week after leading the Spartans to a pair of 5-0 victories over Regina and Saskatchewan last weekend. As she has throughout much of the season, Derksen came off the bench midway through the first half and provided an offensive spark, tallying two goals and an assist in
Friday’s win over Regina and then adding her third goal of the weekend against Saskatchewan. The Delta Secondary graduate now has a career-high six goals on the season and is second on her team in scoring and tied for sixth in the conference. Along with her offensive foray, Derksen also helped the Spartans set a Canada West record for consecutive clean sheets, at nine, as TWU has earned nine straight shutout victories.
The local flavour at the Langley school also includes goalkeeper Rachel Sydor. The South Delta Secondary graduate earned the shutout in the win over Regina. Kiersten Sawchuk, also an SDSS alumni, is a fourth-year midfielder, while Jenaya Robertson (Delview) is a third-year midfielder/defender. The Spartans sit atop the Pacific Division standings with a 10-2-0 record and will play Victoria today and UBC Saturday to conclude the regular season.

Blake Bonnar shovels the puck towards the net during the Ice Hawks 6-1 win over the Langley Trappers on Tuesday night in Ladner. Delta is now 11-1-0-0 on the season.
Already with the best record in the Pacific Junior Hockey League, the Delta Ice Hawks are now feasting on a soft stretch in their schedule. The Ice Hawks improved to 11-1-0-0 Tuesday night with a 6-2 victory over the expansion Langley Trappers at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The game was the second of four straight against sub .500 teams. Delta travels to Port Moody (4-6-0-1) then are back at home next Tuesday when the Mission City Outlaws (5-8-0-0) visit at 7:35 p.m. Alex Suprynowicz and Jonathan Stein combined for six points to lead the way against the Trappers as the Hawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes. Suprynowicz scored twice, along with South Delta rookie defenceman Aiden Hansen-Bukata. Nathan Pelletier rounded out the scoring, while 16-year-old goaltender Jordy Engleson made 21 saves.

On October 12, 2017, Jerry Cafferky peacefully slipped away from us at the Delta Hospital at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Joan, who lovingly and unselfishly cared for him until the end. Jerry cherished his “Joanie” and appreciated her immensely. His legacy now lives on through his children, Patrick, Kelly, Michael (Lori), Kevin, Erin (Kirk) and Colleen as well as his brother Blair (Rita), 13 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Jerry’s youth was spent in Vancouver, BC where his love and participation in boxing and auto racing and his many shenanigans left him many colourful stories with which he would entertain us all. Jerry spent his working years in sales and sales management with Eatons, Woodwards and finally Norsat International, a BC high tech company in the satellite receiver equipment industry where he greatly elevated the company’s sales. His wit and easy going manner allowed him to build lasting relationships with employees, co-workers and customers over the years. Retirement gave Jerry the time to embrace his true passion, his love of dogs, and to pursue his desire to help people achieve independence with them. Jerry and Joan welcomed many puppies into their lives and into their hearts over the years and it always filled Jerry with a sense of excitement, enthusiasm and great pride. They were his extended family and he loved to follow their progress over the years. To all of you, family and friends, we wish you peace and contentment of body and soul always. It is a wonderful world out there and Jerry had many fond memories. The funeral will be held Wednesday, October 25th, 11:00 at Sacred Heart Parish, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC with reception to follow immediately afterwards. To honour Jerry, please bring your smile, much laughter and a great story to share. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

ROGERS (nee Kettles), Joan Louise December 17, 1932 − October 1, 2017 Joan passed away after a brief battle with cancer, with family by her side. Joan was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the youngest of 6 children. During the war, Joan’s family moved to Victoria and, then to Ladner, where her father managed the Mc and Mc store on Delta Street. Joan worked at the Ladner Post Office until she was required to resign because of her marriage to the love of her life, Bill. They married on January 4, 1955 and soon started their family. Over the next 15 years they had 5 children. Joan had a lengthy career with the CIBC and held a variety of increasingly challenging positions there, and retired after her 65th birthday. She was the CIBC’s first female branch manager in BC. Joan loved theatre and acted in, wrote and directed many local events. Joan loved to cook and entertain and was a keen card player who hated to lose, a trait she inherited from her mother. Most of all, she loved her children, as well as playing with, loving, and helping raise her 24 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
Harry Edmond Emson was born in Swinton, Lancashire, England (also famous as the home of Coronation Street) in 1927. He died peacefully on October 17, 2017. He was predeceased by his first wife Mary, nee Lewis, and his second wife June, nee Tindall. He is survived by his daughters Jane (Murray Lott) of Delta B.C., and Susan of Saskatoon and by his grandson Mackenzie Lott. Harry qualified in Medicine at the University of Oxford in 1952 and after service in the British Army (Royal Army Medical Corps), came to Saskatoon in 1956. He qualified in Pathology with Certification, later Fellowship, from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in 1958, and was Director of Laboratories at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon from 1960 to 1975. He then was Professor and Head of the Department of Pathology in the College of Medicine of the University of Saskatchewan and Head of Pathology at the University Hospital, from 1975 to 1990. He also taught in Medical Ethics. He served as Chairman of the Committee in General Pathology of the Royal College, for which he also was examiner in Pathology, and President of the Canadian Association of Pathologists.
Joan is survived by her husband of 62 years, Bill, and her children Frank (Jane), Janice, Richard (Shelley), Joy (Danny) and Gillian (Michael), and her 24 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
He was a founding member of Gateway Players of Saskatoon, for which he played many roles. He held a pilot’s licence and flew small aircraft, and enjoyed sailing small boats. He hunted game birds and big game, read extensively in English History, and with Mary enjoyed entertaining their friends. After her death, he started to cook for himself and hosted dinners with the aim of good food, good wine and good conversation.
Her family is proud of the legacy she leaves, and of the influence she has had on them and on those who knew her in her community. Joan’s Celebration of Life will be held at Ladner United Church, where she was an active member, on October 21st at 1 PM.
He worshiped in Saskatoon at All Saints Anglican Church, where he was for many years a Lay Reader and a member of the Vestry.
Thank you to the staff of Richmond Hospital, for their care and assistance and to friends and family for their sympathy and support. We love and miss you Joan, Mom, Nana, Old Nana.
As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

K a t a r i n a Va u p o t i c ( n e e Katarina Bauman) passed away peacefully at Royal Columbian Hospital on the morning of October 17, 2017 at the age of 86. Katarina, the youngest of 10 children, was born in Ptuj Slovenia. In her first 25 years, she experienced World War II and the advancement of communism in Eastern Europe. She left Europe for Canada in 1956 to join Franc Vaupotic, the love of her life. She was not only his wife but his business partner in their farming businesses in Delta and Richmond. They had three sons Frank (deceased) Peter (Marnie) Joe (Elana) and a daughter Lydia (Denis). She always referred to Canada as the land of milk and honey where there is an abundance of food, freedom of speech and movement. Katarina was a strong, hardworking and practical woman. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and her dogs. She also enjoyed tending to her vegetable garden and her rose bushes. She will be greatly missed by her three children, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Prayers will be offered on Thursday, October 26th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm and a Funeral Service on Friday, October 27th, 2017 at 11:00 am, both at Sacred Heart Parish, 3900 Arthur Drive.
