Hospice not place to provide MAiD Macey concerned by Fraser Health efforts to expand Medical Assistance in Dying to various care settings SANDOR GYARMATI
s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
It’s something that shouldn’t take place in a hospice setting. Delta Hospice Society executive director Nancy Macey had that to say about the possibility the Ladner hospice would be required to provide medically assisted deaths. Fraser Health is exploring setting up Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in various care settings, including hospices, a move Macey said is being done without prior consultation. “They opened up a unit in New Westminster where they do the procedure and that’s been basically successful and dedicated for people who don’t want the procedure at home and have someone qualified there. What we got wind of is they (Fraser Health) verified they’re looking to put it in hospices and other care settings. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s a procedure and we don’t do procedures
in a hospice. It’s completely philosophically wrong with what we’re doing in palliative care,” she said.

TSB sends out investigators after collision on Fraser River 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
Transportation Safety Board investigators are trying to determine what might have caused a dredger and barge to collide
off Tilbury Island early Tuesday morning. According to TSB investigator Mohan Raman, the incident occurred around 5 a.m. The dredger, owned by New Westminster’s Graymar
Equipment Inc., somehow lost propulsion and drifted into the path of the barge (Stormwave). Raman said TSB investigators were deployed to the area on Tuesday afternoon. “At this time we have still
not determined what caused the mechanical failure and the dredger to drift into the path of the tug,” Raman told the Optimist Wednesday afternoon. “There was damage to the haul of the dredger, but no apparent
damage to the tug.” Raman said the dredger was back in the shipyard for inspection and repairs. There were no environmental concerns following the collision and no injuries were reported.

Pot answers prove elusive Province unveils some regulations but Delta officials still have many questions 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
The legalization of cannabis is going to have farreaching impacts on cities and law enforcement, but just what those impacts will be have yet to be determined. On Tuesday, Solicitor General Mike Farnworth made several announcements about what the future of recreational pot would look like in B.C., saying it would be sold at both public and privately run stores, the Liquor Distribution Branch will handle wholesale distribution and the minimum age to purchase would be 19. On Wednesday at the Delta police board meeting, board chair Mayor Lois Jackson said it continues to be a struggle to find answers to this complex issue. “If they would allow retail outlets we may say we won’t allow those in Delta, but I’m just not sure what we [council] will do going forward,” Jackson said. “On the police side, I think we are still looking at a lot of dollars. I did receive a letter from the solicitor general that he wants to meet with us, so I guess we will wait and see after that meeting.” Chief Neil Dubord said the department was not

Police Chief Neil Dubord says sometimes the province is not advancing the issue as quickly as he would like. surprised by Farnworth’s announcements. “We expected to see the minimum age to be 19 years old, so that was not a surprise to us. I think that we expected to see the distribution model
to be through the Liquor Control Board and I fully expect they will build a hybrid model on the retail distribution piece and they will allow municipalities to figure out which way they want to go,” he said.
“Let’s say if Richmond decides they don’t want any retail outlets, then they will have a mail order outlet run by government that will supply people who need marijuana in Richmond. And I suspect
that those who want retail outlets will be able to have those through municipal bylaws.” Dubord said the department has been working closely with policing partners as well as the provincial and federal governments regarding the pending legalization. He said DPD will be required to train members on the Cannabis Act and related provincial legislation once it is announced. The department is also working with the RCMP regarding strategies for training on impaired driving enforcement, including standard field sobriety testing and drug recognition expert testing. “To be frank, sometimes the province is not advancing this as quickly as I would like,” said Dubord. “They have basically one course for municipal departments and one course for the RCMP. I’m trying to train 75 officers on this by June, so we are working on one course per month where we might be able to get 20 or so officers, but it’s also a one-week training course and that means a lot of officers off the street.” Dubord said the department would continue to work through these issues and provide regular updates to the board.
Macey would like hospices to be able to opt out of MAiD
CONTINUED from Page 1 Scheduled to meet Fraser Health officials today, Macey said she’d like hospices to be able to opt out of having to also be a space for MAiD. A Fraser Health spokesperson told the Optimist, “Health authorities across B.C. have the capacity to provide medical assistance in dying in hospital, home, residential care, palliative or hospice settings.
When a patient has made this difficult decision, we need to consider how to offer it in the most patient centred way we can. We continue to offer support to our patients as we have been phasing this in across our region.” Delta South MLA Ian Paton’s office has been trying to find out what the FHA has in store, noting implementing MAiD has not been not a directive

from the NDP government, but rather Fraser Health acting on its legal authority. The health region also provided Paton’s office with a statement which reads in part, “We recognize the concerns of some palliative care physicians and hospice societies who feel assisted dying may conflict with a core philosophy of palliative and end of life care — to
alleviate suffering as the patient reaches their natural death. We continue to take a phased approach to implementing this service across our region, beginning with our hospitals, communities, residential care facilities and hospices. We are committed to providing this patientcentred service across our region, keeping in line with the rest of the province.”

Macey said the Delta Hospice Society board has not heard formally from the health region. She said as a result the board has not made any decisions based on rumoured or pending changes to the implementation of MAiD. The society opened the Irene Thomas Hospice and the Harold & Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care seven years ago.

Prices rising faster for condos, townhouses
Single-family homes up slightly again but are trailing behind hikes in multi-family market SANDOR GYARMATI

Home prices in South Delta continue to rise, but it’s the multi-family sector that has seen the biggest gains this year.
Single-family house prices continue to inch upward in South Delta while the condo and townhouse market picks up steam. According to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, last month the benchmark price for a single-family home in Ladner was $1,035,000, an increase of just under one per cent from the previous

month and up 6.5 per cent from six months ago. In Tsawwassen, the benchmark price for a single-family home in November was $1,283,200, up .6 per cent from the previous month and 6.1 per cent from six months earlier. “We’re seeing steady demand in today’s market. Home buyer activity is operating above our longterm averages, particularly in our townhome and condominium markets,” said board president Jill Oudil. Prices are rising at a greater rate in the attached market in South Delta. The benchmark price in November for a townhouse in Ladner was $756,000, up 1.6 per cent from the previous month, while in Tsawwassen it was $753,000, an increase just under two per cent. The year-to-year change was 19.9 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively. As far as condos, the benchmark in Ladner was $433,400, up 2.5 per cent from the previous month, while in Tsawwassen it was $467,600, up 3.4 per cent. Over the year the
prices rose eight per cent and 11 per cent, respectively. It’s pretty much the same story being told by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board when it comes to condos and townhouses. “Our attached market feels like our detached market used to,” said Gopal Sahota, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president. “With our townhome and apartment inventory here, you have the same wide spectrum for pricing and supply that’s helping buyers of all types find success in the valley.” According to the FVRB figures for November, the North Delta benchmark for a detached house was $914,900, while for a townhome it was $564,100 and a condo was $348,000. The biggest increases from the previous year were for townhomes and condos. The B.C. Real Estate Association housing forecast for 2018 predicts that prices will rise modestly in Metro Vancouver’s housing market.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH CONGRATULATIONS
Will and Anna Somerset
Will and Anna, a brother and sister team, have had their route for the past 1 ½ years. As the route includes their own street, they have enjoyed getting to know their neighbours better, often stopping for friendly conversations along the way. Most delivery days their beloved dog dutifully accompanies them and she, too, enjoys meeting the neighbours…especially the furry ones! Will and Anna both agree that having a paper route has taught them to be both responsible and reliable. And they love having their own money to spend with no questions asked by Mom and Dad!

Friends, family and community members helped run Dave’s Pop Culture after Dave Strutt was seriosuly injured in a crash last fall. and continues to get from the community. Strutt, the owner of Dave’s Pop Culture on Bridge Street in Ladner Village, was laid up in hospital for a little over a month. His arm was broken in five places, he lost some teeth, had a broken leg, his patella was fractured, rib compressions, a dislocated finger as well as a nasty bump on the head. “I’m really lucky that I’m alive,” Strutt told the Optimist last week. In the days following the Nov. 23, 2016 accident, friends, family and community members he had never met jumped to his aid to ensure his store would survive. They organized special Christmas sales, a charity games tournament and made sure that an annual donation to Deltassist would still be possible. “It was probably four months before I was able to get back in the store. I was off the medication pretty fast, by mid-January I would say,” he said. “I was doing physical therapy at home and would come in for short visits. I mean I still get worn out to this day, but the recovery has been pretty good.” Strutt said there are few words to describe the support he received. “It started the minute I was in the accident and it continues to this day.
Every time I turn around I see somebody standing behind me waiting to support and help me,” he said. “It’s humbling, flattering, awe-inspiring to be supported by so many great people, by so many community members, by so many great institutions. It’s unbelievable the love and support I have received.” Strutt said when he woke up in hospital he was in a fog, he couldn’t walk and couldn’t do many things for himself. “I don’t know how anyone could have earned this amount of love,” he said. “From the first person who picked up my kids from school and drove them to the hospital, they have been there for my kids as well — that’s a huge part too.” The special connection the store has in the community was recently recognized at the Delta Chamber of Commerce’s Hats Off to Excellence gala when it won the Micro Business of the Year award. “This isn’t my award. This is an award for all the people that helped out because I wouldn’t be here without them. There is no way the business would have survived six months of me not being here,” he said. “I have a thank-you list that I will be writing, happily, for the rest of my life.”

Community volunteers recognized by Envision
In support of Canada’s 150th anniversary, Envision Financial is celebrating community leadership across B.C. by recognizing local volunteers, non-profit organizations and charities that are making meaningful contributions in our communities. Envision is making $1,500 donations to these worthy causes and recently made a couple of presentations in Delta. Karel Ley, who founded the Delta Stroke Recovery Society in 1996 after the death of her husband the previous year, was one of those recognized. Now in its 23rd year, the volunteer organization provides support and programs for stroke survivors in Delta with no financial support from government or health authorities. Envision also presented an award to Delta Hospice Society volunteers Marilyn, Dawn, Avril, Jan and Deanna who have all been volunteering with the society for 25 years.

Blue Sky expands to Tsaw. Mills
Women’s fashion choices have just expanded in South Delta with the recent opening of Blue Sky Clothing Company at Tsawwassen Mills. Blue Sky Clothing Company was started out of the back of a VW van at the Balfour Ferry Landing many years ago by Marilyn Cobban. She saw that women — family, friends, neighbours — were unable to find great-looking wearable fashions. So she sourced fabrics, created designs and produced clothing that fit real women’s shapes — without compromising her high ethical standards. With more than 20 years of steady growth, Blue Sky has expanded to nine locations across B.C., including Vancouver and Victoria. “We’ve never been in a mall before, but they contacted us to ask if we were interested because there was very little for plus sizes in the mall,” said Blue Sky’s Emma Fierling. “Our experience thus far has been very positive. We

Some of these people are from the island, and when we tell them we have a store in Victoria as well, it makes their day.” Blue Sky garments are made from natural fibres, making them soft
and breathable. Bamboo is silky and smooth, but requires no special treatment and can be made into anything from comfortable yoga pants to elegant evening wear. Blue Sky is located to the right of Entrance 2 of Tsawwassen Mills. See more at: www. blueskyclothingco.com.

t seems like we’ve got another case of filming fatigue. Film crews are generally a welcome sight in these parts, but like too much of anything, they can start to wear on you after a while, which appears to be the case once again after a spate of filming at a couple of popular spots in Ladner recently. Complaints over the frequency of filming in Ladner Village and at the North 40 dog park have prompted city staff to recommend a three-week break between film shoots so locals don’t feel like they’ve become extras on a neverending film set. Civic politicians held off on endorsing the idea pending further consultation because, like a lot of things, there are varying degrees of tolerance for the inconvenience that film shoots create. What annoys one person might not bother another, so before even more rules are imposed on film crews in Delta it makes sense to figure out exactly how many people are bugged by back-to-back shoots. A couple of months ago I took my dog to the North 40 twice in the span of a few days and both times we were met by a film crew, including a greeter near the entrance who offered biscuits to dogs and waste bags to their owners. It was clear crew members had been told they were in our park and acted as any polite guests would, although on the second trip there was so much activity we gave up and headed home. Filming only happens so often in the park, and even when it does, most times it’s easy enough to work around it, so I wasn’t going to complain, although my dog wanted to drop a little something on city hall grounds to express her disappointment at having her walk cut short. The biggest concern in all of this should be for our merchants because that’s where this issue morphs from being a simple inconvenience to a much more serious case of lost business. Filming can’t be so frequent it negatively impacts a store’s bottom line, so if Delta is to devise new regulations, those safeguards must be at the forefront. No public amenity, whether it be a street, park or community centre, should be off limits for an inordinate amount of time to those who have paid taxes for it, but the trick moving forward will be figuring out where to draw the line that satisfies most.

We watch the leaves fall from the trees and carry on with life in grey, overcast days. Then in November we take time to recall what our veterans did on Remembrance Day. We honour their efforts and sacrifice but at the same time we are reminded of the horrific acts of war that occurred all around the globe when they served. I’ve read a lot about the Second World War and have been shocked by what actually happened so I can’t imagine what it would have been like to have been involved in it. Millions of people, soldiers and civilians, in every corner of the world died in the most terrible ways with suffering beyond comprehension in most of today’s world. There are thousands of examples of man’s inhumanity to man throughout history but the Second World War industrialized the methods to kill and maim on a scale never seen before. Now over 70 years after that war all the countries that were combatives have regained relationships thorough global trade and communications. They are now even allies against other countries that appear to pose a threat to freedom in the world.
Community Comment GREG HOOVER
To think of what took place in that war and those same countries are now all part of the global community speaks volumes to what man can accomplish over time. The damage to cities and the planet has been repaired and cleaned up and at the same time by having Remembrance Day mankind can reflect on the horrors of war and not look on war as a solution to every issue as the world has done for centuries. To me Remembrance Day is a very important occasion where the older folks in society are given the opportunity to pass on to the younger generations the wisdom of not wanting more war based on their horrific memories or the recollection passed on to them from others. Mankind can’t go through that again because the industrialization of warfare has reached the point of no return if war occurs. But then this dreary time
of year starts to see light in December as Christmas approaches. The darkness is slowly transformed as stores are decorated and the neighbours, one by one, cover their homes with coloured lights and an endless variety of decorations. People also change at this time of year, and even with the stress of preparation and hundreds of places to go, you hear people wishing each other Merry Christmas. As Christmas approaches people develop an attitude of giving, charity and best wishes for all. Then Christmas is done and all of the built up energy and hope that was focused on Dec. 25 is transferred to the New Year. People gather to celebrate the past year and wish for better fortune, good health and peace in the New Year. So as we all go through the trials and tribulations of this time of year, it’s good that mankind has a celebrated time of year to recognize our mistakes, celebrate life and wish for better and positive things to happen. Maybe this time of year isn’t as bad as I thought. On behalf of Christina and myself, we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and peaceful New Year! Greg Hoover is a project manager in industrial and commercial construction who has lived with Christina in Tsawwassen for 25 years.

Those south of river aware they must deal with tunnel
Editor: Re: Christmas letter to Santa asks for a new bridge, letter to the editor, Dec. 1 It is telling in that the author admits he has “missed meetings and deadlines” due to the bridge. You would think that as a “lifelong resident of Delta,” Dylan Kruger would have better time management skills for the George Massey Tunnel. Everyone is aware of the limitations the tunnel brings to our lives; if you continue to live south of the Fraser you make adjustments. However, I would like to point out a few glaring issues in Kruger’s appeal to Santa’s busy office. Most of the 90,000 commuters that use the tunnel knew of the tunnel when choosing to live south of the Fraser. We make choices and live with the consequences. To suggest the tunnel is
the worst bottleneck in the province means Kruger seems to be unaware of the bottlenecks at the Oak Street Bridge, the Knight Street Bridge or the Alex Fraser Bridge, all bottlenecks that will only get worse with construction of the bridge. If this environmental issue causes “13,000 tons of greenhouse gas every year” why would Kruger and his boss, Delta South MLA Ian Paton, just move that environmental issue to Richmond? The 14,000 pages of information on this bridge deal poorly with these issues. Some of these documents have been written by proponents with contracts for the bridge and can hardly be called “independent reports.” It is telling that Kruger brings up the safety issue. Safety was never an issue with the tunnel until a bridge was proposed. Why would the Liberals
not have done the appropriate repairs in 2006 when $20 million was spent in the first phase of upgrading? The plan then was to twin the tunnel. Since then the Liberals have triple erased any mention of that plan and denied its existence. Hence, comments made by Nicholas Wong in a recent column are less than “extreme.” These issues have been exposed through FOI requests and shouldn’t need more proof. The “redundant (NDP) study” will show the bridge was really only needed by the Port of Vancouver. There are other options for traffic infrastructure and Paton and Delta council have agreed to and supported a further review of these options and facts. If this takes more time, so be it. Good planning always takes time. Peter van der Velden
System will lose riders when they are forced to transfer
Editor: Re: TransLink alters plan after concerns, Nov. 29 I have often used the phrase; “TransLink could not even plan an outhouse, let alone understand its function,” and again that phrase rings true. In today’s world, what attracts people to transit is user friendliness, the ease of ticketing, the ease of use, the service provided. TransLink does not deliver this to the people of South Delta. What people living in South Delta really want and (many know I advocate for better transit) tell me, they want their direct South Delta to Vancouver buses back. The forced transfer at Bridgeport is both inconvenient and time consum-
ing and those customers, like my wife, who must make a second transfer to complete their journey, means their total commute time is as much as 30 minutes longer than the previous service using direct buses. It has been established that transfers, especially forced transfers, can deter more than 70 per cent of potential ridership per transfer and in Europe, transit planners do their best by eliminating unwarranted transfers to provide a more user-friendly service. The return trip is another story: long waits at Bridgeport Station, an ugly, cold and unfriendly place at the best of times, for buses for the return home. Weekends are another
story, where now three times in as many weekends buses have not arrived, broken down or were too crowded for transit customers, which means huge wait times and increased anger at TransLink. So here is the deal: I challenge TransLink to provide a direct South Delta to Vancouver bus, using the 602, and see what happens. TransLink will not, of course, because TransLink does not give a damn about providing a userfriendly bus service, rather it will do the same thing over and over again, ever hoping for better results that never materialize. That is the reason why TransLink is so detested by the public. Malcolm Johnston
Delta Youth Theatre stages fabulous production of Annie Jr. at Genesis
Editor: I’m just back from Annie Jr. at Genesis Theatre in Ladner. What an amazing production. The Delta Youth Theatre show featured very profes-
sional acting, singing and dancing directed by the very talented Tracy Neff and Tony Barton. The icing on the cake for opening night was the role of Daddy Warbucks being
played by professional actor Neal McDonough, who is a Tsawwassen resident. Broadway… here we come! Pat Rogers

“When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.” Acts 15:4 The first thing that someone will find when they visit your home is your front door. During this amazing Christmas season, we have the opportunity to let people know they are welcome. This world is changing and in a time when many are being told there is no place they can call home, we as the church will rise as never before and open wide our hearts and doors. I am making a declaration for churches; saying
place, I hope, when people come they instantly feel they can relax and feel the embrace of our family. Our lives and our churches need great big welcome mats out front so passersby will feel drawn into a place they can belong. On a personal level, it might be time to work on our front entrance porch, maybe even open up some locked doors. It might also be time to freshen the fragrance at the entrance. Let’s all continue to work on building our homes and God’s home well so that the word gets out, there is a place for you, you are welcome here, so come.

Hospice tree offers people way to honour their lost loved ones
December can be one of the most difficult times of the year for those who have lost a loved one. It is a time when families gather to celebrate, which might bring up painful memories of the person who is no longer present. For the past 24 years, the Delta Hospice Society has displayed a Celebration of Life Tree where the community is given the opportunity to honour and remember the life of someone who has died. A tribute card is available
& Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care across from the Ladner Leisure Centre. Hospice volunteers will be present to listen if people wish to share memories. Throughout December, the Celebration of Life Tree fills up with tributes and stories are exchanged between families and volunteers. Helpful information about grief and loss and how to cope with the holidays is also available at no cost at the centre. Visitors can add a trib-
to write a person’s name on and it is then placed on the Celebration of Life Tree. Another card can be taken home as a memento. “Placing a tribute on the tree becomes symbolic of the love and memories that we carry in our heart, and helps us to remember the experiences we share or have shared,” says Nancy Macey, executive director of the Delta Hospice Society. The community is invited to visit the Celebration of Life Tree at the Harold
ute card to the Celebration of Life Tree until Dec. 22. They are welcome at the centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. Donations in memory of a loved one are always appreciated and go towards extending care to others; they are not required. The tree will be up until the first week in January so family and friends can visit it during centre hours over the holiday season. For more information, call 604-948-0660 or visit www.deltahospice.org.

Beau Han Bridge to debut first feature film 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
Tsawwassen independent director-actor Beau Han Bridge will be showcasing his work at a screening event in Vancouver Sunday. The event will include the premiere of his debut feature film, Ocean. Four short films will be shown before the feature. “All of these works were produced in 2017, contain mixes of comedy, drama, experimentalism, and altogether showcase
an eclectic diversity that both I and my collaborators have been fortunate enough to explore through Canadian indie-filmmaking,” says Bridge. Ocean looks at various relationships mirroring one another in a “Canadiana-multinarrative depiction” of millennial youths living around Vancouver. The shorts are titled Just Kidding, Homecoming, Text I Love You and Molly Misbegotten. Bridge also recently founded a theatre com-
pany, Midtwenties Theatre Society, to address plays less explored in the theatre scene as well as focus on plays that can’t easily be fit into specific genres. The company staged its debut production this year. Sunday’s film screening takes place at The Cinematheque. The films are scheduled to start at 1:40 and end at 3:45 p.m. Tickets are by donation ($10 suggested) with funds going towards Bridge’s future projects. Tickets are available through www. eventbrite.ca.

There will be one last opportunity to play four down football in Texas next month before Michael Calvert turns all his attention back to the Canadian version of the game for the next chapter of his career. The Grade 12 quarterback from Tsawwassen will be playing for Team Canada at the International Bowl — slated for Jan. 11-18 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Calvert was named to the roster based on his play for Team B.C. at last summer’s Canada Cup in Nova Scotia. He then will head out on recruiting trips to universities in Ontario, Saskatchewan and perhaps other provinces too to determine his destination next fall. Seventeen USport schools have reached out to Calvert following an outstanding high school career that concluded with him becoming the first South Delta Sun Devil in the last 25 years to be named Provincial Offensive MVP at the “AAA” level. Calvert thrived in Mark McDonald’s offence this past season — throwing for 33 touchdowns and 2,775 yards in 10 games. That’s 14 and over 1,000 more respectively than his nearest rival. For good measure, he was also sixth in the province in rushing with 751 more yards. “It’s a big honour,” he said of the award. “I consider it a team award for our entire offence and it shows all the hard work we put in paid off. If I could, I would divide the trophy into 10 pieces and share it with them.” Calvert says he has shortened his list of potential schools to some degree but it will be the official visits that will determine his final decision.
Michael Calvert became the first South Delta Sun Devil in recent memory to win the Provincial AAA Offensive Player Award. “Right now, I’m open to everything. Connecting with all the players and the team is important to me. I will be spending the next four or five years with these guys,” he continued. “I like Tsawwassen. It’s my roots in everything but I think it would be good to go out and expand to different places. But even if I did stay here I would be happy with everything. Wherever I choose I know its going to be the right fit for me.” That right fit means continuing his career at quarterback. Calvert admits some schools have approached him about changing positions at the university level and use his athleticism elsewhere. During his time at South Delta, he also played some safety, receiver and returned
kicks, especially in his Grade 10 year. However, he also more than proved what he is capable of under centre. He was also a provincial team allstar quarterback as a Grade 11. “I have gone through my life playing quarterback and I feel it’s my kind of thing,” said the former South Delta Rams community ball standout. “I like having control and being able to have the game in my hands. I feel like I was meant to play it. If some teams don’t see me as a quarterback at the next level then its another person I will have to prove wrong in my football journey. I have been told that by a few people. But I feel like its the best I can help team. I have a strong arm and I’m mobile. I also passed more in the pocket this season. I defined my quarterback traits instead of just being an athlete back there.” Calvert’s high school career ended in heartbreaking fashion as the Sun Devils fell 52-45 to the New West Hyacks. It marked the second straight year they lost in the semi-finals to the eventual champion after falling to Terry Fox by a single point a year earlier. Despite the tough outcome, it was a vastly different game than four weeks earlier when the top ranked Hyacks embarrassed South Delta 63-16. The Devils rebounded with playoff wins over Mission and Lord Tweedsmuir before making a furious second half comeback against New West that just fell short. “(Michael) gave it his everything in (that game). He ran the ball, he passed the ball – everything we asked of him he did and even with guys draped all over him he was still able to make plays,” said Sun Devils head coach Ray Moon. “He is a great player and we hope he continues his football at the next level.”

When the Vancouver Stealth hit the floor at the Langley Events Centre tonight for its National Lacrosse League home opener, their starting lineup will have several Delta connections. Ladner’s Logan Schuss and Delta’s Evan Messenger expect to figure prominently in the Stealth’s offensive attack when they entertain the Colorado Mammoth. In 2017, Schuss appeared in 17 games scoring 35 goals and 41 assists for 76 points and was named the team’s assistant captain. 2016 was Schuss’ first full season with the Stealth and he set career highs in assists (57), loose balls (82), and points (86). Schuss played in 69 career games with the Delta Jr. A Islanders scoring 161 goals and 192 assists. 2017, was Messenger’s
rookie season with the Stealth where he appeared in four games scoring two goals and three assists and collected three loose balls. Messenger helped the Islanders to the BCJALL championship in 2016 and an appearance in the Minto Cup. In 2016, he scored 41 goals and 96 points and was named first team allstar and was named the top graduating player of the year. In his three-year career with Delta, he played in 68 games, scored 104 goals and registered 136 assists. The Stealth will also be paced this season by alltime leading scorer Rhys Duch, NLL MVP nominee, Corey Small, 2015 NLL Teammate of the Year, Joel McCready, second-year player James Rahe, as well as newcomer Tony Malcom. The defence and transition will be led by captain Matt Beers and returning veterans Ian Hawksbee, Pete McFetridge, Chris

HAM, Michael George March 5, 1937 December 3, 2017 It is with much sadness and love we say goodbye to our beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Mike passed away on December 3, 2017 at the age of 80. He is predeceased by his wife Myrna whom he was married to for 58 years. Mike was born on March 5, 1937 in Trail, B.C. He is lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his four children Cheryl, Dawn, Mike (Debbie), and Tara (Brent); grandchildren Jadine, Jason, Bryton, Justin (Amy), Aleisha, Leah, Shayne, Blayne (Taylor), and Madison; great-grandchildren Jeremy, Haley, Trent, and Braylan; as well as former son-in-laws Tony, Roger, and Regan. Mike played a huge role in Ladner back in the day. He owned the local gas station Ladner Esso where it was common on any given day you would go in to find the locals stopping in to visit him for a coffee and a chin wag. Mike also played a huge role in the Ladner Minor Hockey Association where he coached with his son Mike Jr and won coach of the year many times. When Mike retired at an early age he and his wife Myrna spent many winters in Arizona and his summers fishing near Logan Lake, B.C. Mike loved all his children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren and is remembered fondly for his sense of humour, being a jokester, but most importantly for his kind heart. Our family wishes to express our sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at Fleetwood Place Care Facility for all their care and kindness for our father. No Service by request. A family gathering will take place. Donations to Fleetwood Place Care Facility would be appreciated. Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040

SCAMBLER, Bert (Robert) Kerr November 3, 1925 - December 1, 2017 It is with much sadness we announce the passing of Bert Kerr Scambler. He is survived by his nephew Alex (Linda), great nephew Calum (Louise), their daughter, along with the rest of his family back in Scotland. Bert was predeceased by his loving, caring wife Mary (passed away March 1998). Bert was born November 3, 1925 in Prestonpanas Scotland to John and Catherine Scambler. In March of 1943, Bert joined the Royal Navy and served as an Able Seaman until Jan 1 , 1947. After returning home, Bert took a job as an apprentice butcher, eventually owning it with his business partner and friend Tom Waller. Tom sold his share of the Butcher Shop to Bert and ventured out to Canada (Vancouver B.C.). A few years later Tom convinced Bert to come to Vancouver which he did in November of 1963 and found a job with Air Canada in January of 1964. He worked for 37 years working his way up the ladder into a supervisory position. Upon retirement, he was asked to work in a restaurant/bar by a friend (in Point Roberts) to work behind the pull tab bar. Bert had much fun and made many friends that he still holds dear to this day. Bert finally did full retirement in 2010. His fondest love was for sports, mainly golf (Tiger Wood) and football. Many thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Delta Hospital and Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner for the great care they gave him in his final days. A special thank you to Dr. Kenneth Ryan, Bert’s family physician for many years of care. The celebration of life will be held on Sunday, December 10th at the Royal Canadian Legion from 12:30 until 3:00 PM at 1835 56th Street, Tsawwassen, B.C. Please no flowers, instead perhaps a small donation to the Legion that became his Saturday night outing for many years or a donation to a charity of your choice. Gone but not forgotten.
