Body recovered from slough Dog walker alerts police department after making discovery near Ladner Harbour Park IAN JACQUES

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

Delta police are releasing few details after a body was recovered from Ladner slough Wednesday afternoon. DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said at approximately 9:45 a.m. police were contacted by a person out walking their dog near Ladner Harbour Park who reported seeing a body in the water. “The investigation is ongoing. At this point the identity of the deceased has not been determined and we are still working on next of kin notification,” Leykauf said. On Thursday morning, she told the Optimist there is nothing to indicate that anything is suspicious. After the initial call Wednesday morning, officers attended the scene, making their way to the Ladner Yacht Club on River Road. “The police came to the door looking for assistance, so I took them out in our little skiff and had a look at the scene,” said the yacht club’s resident caretaker Richard Ashley. “It looked to be an Asian lady I’d say probably around 40,” Ashley said. He said the body was wedged between some deadheads in the water. “The tide was running so it kept the body nice and tight where they wanted,” said Ashley. “Once they took a look at the scene, I brought them back to the dock. It’s all I can do because it’s a crime scene.”

Report backs tunnel option FOI request turns up 2013 document from European engineering consultants 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 proves there was a cover-up, say opponents of the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project. Making the rounds in the debate about the currently suspended $3.5-billion bridge project is a report by an engineering firm from the Netherlands that concludes building a new tunnel to twin with the current crossing is feasible. That report by TEC, dating back to 2013, was made public after a freedom of information request to the NDP government. An initial request when the Liberals were in power found no information, said Doug Massey, whose father spearheaded construction of the original tunnel. “If the tunnel is so unsafe, then why don’t they shut it down? It’s younger than the Maastunnel (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and the tunnel engineering consultants said our tunnel can be upgraded, and they’re the worldwide experts,” said Massey. Noting TEC officials

Doug Massey says the former Liberal government misled the public on the need for a bridge. were given a tour of the current tunnel and made a presentation to government officials, Massey said it had been conveyed immersed tunnels are more suited for poor soil conditions and have a smaller footprint. That information was swept under the rug by a government bent on a bridge mega project, Massey said. “They were very disap-

pointed that they made a great presentation to the transportation arm of the government and were well received and never heard back from the government. The next thing they heard is that the government decided to build a bridge, so they really never gave the 60-page presentation any serious consideration,” Massey complained. “The government was

misleading the public completely. They’re telling everyone the tunnel was impregnated with gas and fumes, but then why isn’t every other tunnel in the world the same way?” asked Massey. “They’re lying to the public for those who have vested interest in a bridge. I have no problem with a crossing. Some of these tunnels are 12 miles long

and they’re safer than an open highway... the former Liberal government never did anything to improve the interior of the tunnel to make it safer and more efficient.” The Port of Vancouver remains a player behind the campaign for a bridge, added Massey. Delta South MLA Ian Paton, who has become the Liberals’ go-to person on the project, said it’s been frustrating to watch the NDP order another redundant review while there are 14,000 pages of information available on every aspect. “Equally frustrating is that despite all the studies and research available to the minister and to the public online, some misinformation continues to be spread, namely that a tunnel is a better option and that the bridge project was being driven by Port Metro Vancouver,” Paton said. The detailed technical analysis confirmed a new bridge is the best option and building a tunnel to the same seismic standards as a bridge would be much more costly, complex and environmentally invasive, Paton noted.

Vicki Huntington gets personal at Probus Club 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

She was an accidental politician. That’s how former Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington described her unique political career in a presentation to the South Delta Probus Club Wednesday. Admitting she was flattered to be asked to be a guest speaker but not accustomed to talking about herself, Huntington reflected on how she ended up in the political arena and the circumstances that led her to become the first independent in 60 years to be elected to the provincial legislature and the first ever to be re-elected. She decided not to seek a third term in last year’s provincial election. “Much of my background has actually served me very well and I’m so

It enabled her to have a couple of research assistants as well as hire research consultants, so she could represent South Delta and speak about issues more effectively. Huntington also praised the fine work of her constituency office staff, noting that by her second year in office other constituency offices in B.C. were calling for assistance. “I think we served Delta well but we also served the people really well.”

Community stations won’t extend hours Review includes about 40 recommendations but weekend openings not among them 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 Delta Police Department is taking steps to enhance its community police stations but it won’t be extending their hours. A community police station review was presented to the Delta police board at its regular meeting on Wednesday. Last spring, the board requested a review of the stations’ hours of operation. Several board members expressed concerns at that time that the stations not being open on weekends was a disservice to the public and that a lack of volunteers might even necessitate the need for possibly closing them altogether. Police Chief Neil Dubord said the review included an assessment of the current model and offered recommendations for improving services to the community. “There are about 40 recommendations contained in the review that focus on three areas, which include

The community police station in Tsawwassen saw an increase in activity after it moved to the Town Centre Mall early last year. training, recruitment and program development,” said Dubord. “There is strong research to suggest that the old way of delivering community police services was to open up the front door and people would just come into that facility and engage with the police that way and

some people still do, however, the strong research is that we need to push our outreach into the community.” Dubord said these outreach efforts include programs like Block Watch, Cell Watch, Speed Watch, which he called “success stories.”

Dubord added that during the past year all community stations have either moved or are in the process of moving to higher visibility locations. He said the impact on the amount of activity in the Tsawwassen office was significant after it moved to the breezeway at

Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. The Ladner office will be moving into the historic museum building on Delta Street at the end of February and the North Delta office will be moving from inside Scottsdale Centre to a storefront location on Scott Road.

He said these changes will enhance visibility and increase public awareness. “We will also have the storefronts open during special events such as Ladner (Village) Markets and Tsawwassen Sun Festival for an added layer of visibility and community outreach,” Dubord added. “A strong programming model will naturally attract more volunteers, which in turn may create the ability to increase office hours, however at this time storefront hours will remain at current levels.” Hari Aroon was the lone board member to vote against the report. “When we started this the primary reason for bringing this up was to see how we could extend or change the hours that would include some on weekends. This recommendation does not touch that, therefore I will not be endorsing this recommendation, I will vote against it,” said Aroon. “To me, that was the primary reason why we asked for this review.”

Delta wants library in city-owned space Relocating Tsawwassen branch is part of plan, but don’t expect anything to happen soon SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The Tsawwassen Library could be in a new location but don’t expect it to happen anytime soon. Part of the new Delta Library Plan approved by Delta council are several medium- to longterm goals, one being to “investigate options for relocating the Tsawwassen Library to a municipallyowned building.” Housed at the Town Centre Mall, the Tsawwassen Library is the only one of Delta’s three libraries not to be located in a city-owned building. Sean McGill, Delta’s director of corporate services, said the city isn’t actively looking to relocate but it’s an option that will be explored down the road. Having a branch in the town core would be important, although Delta doesn’t have any land in the area, he noted. “It’s really just a recognition of the fact it’s the only one we don’t own. Ultimately, Delta would like to own its own and in

A report to council notes that at 7,920 square feet, the Tsawwassen branch is within the optimal size to serve the local population.

The mall is set to undergo a major redevelopment but details are still unknown, including whether a library could be part of the plan or whether Delta would try to get one as part of a community amenity in exchange.

The report to council notes in addition to the mall renovation, residential development at the Southlands, Tsawwassen Springs and the TFN will significantly impact the area’s demographics. Ten years ago, talk of

searching for a new home for the Tsawwassen branch was put on the backburner when council agreed to sign an annual lease with mall owner Century Group, which agreed to pay for some upgrades. Two years earlier, Delta

proposed moving the branch out of the mall and building a new library at nearby Winskill Park. The project would have been part of a much bigger plan (costing $8.3 million in total) that included construction of an artificial turf playing field at the park. The proposed library would have been 12,000 square feet. At the time, CAO George Harvie pointed out Delta is the only community in the Fraser Valley Regional Library that doesn’t own the land where a community library is situated, and Tsawwassen residents deserved the same amenities as those in Ladner and North Delta. However, the Winskill project faced substantial resistance from residents who didn’t like the loss of green space at Winskill Park. They also opposed a local service tax of $98 annually for five years that would have been imposed. In the end, Delta backed off building a new library but eventually added the artificial turf field.

High school completion rates are improving across B.C. and Delta continues to produce even higher numbers. The six-year completion rates from 2016–17 throughout the province show that more students overall are completing high school, with the greatest percentage increases for Aboriginal students and students with special needs, according to data released by the Ministry of Education last week. In the Delta School District, the completion rate for all students is 91.2 per cent, up 2.3 per cent from 2016; 80.2 per cent for Aboriginal students, up 3.5 per cent from 2016; 95.8 per cent for ELL students, up 2.1 per cent from 2016; and 78.8 per cent for students with special needs designations, up 0.3 per cent from 2016.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

s the effort to extract more money from drivers to address Greater Vancouver’s traffic congestion crisis marches on, there was a sliver of good news for Delta motorists in a report released earlier this week. The Mobility Pricing Independent Commission has been tasked to come up with ways to lessen congestion in the Lower Mainland while at the same time raise revenue to fund improvements to our transportation network. The premise is that if government charges you to drive, you will modify your behaviour, thus reducing the number of vehicles on the road. The commission evaluated 10 decongestion charging approaches and has settled on two for further study: congestion point charges and distance-based charges. The former would charge drivers for using certain stretches of roads or crossings, or to enter/exit a particular zone (read downtown), while the latter would levy a fee based on the number of kilometres driven. Both would dip into drivers’ pockets, but given these ideas are being explored because voters rejected a half-point bump to the provincial sales tax, you knew this exercise was going to carry some sort of price tag. The good news, if there can be any, is the worry that Delta and other outlying communities not well served by transit could end up being the hardest hit is a message the commission is hearing loud and clear. The statement, “I think it should cost less to drive in areas that have fewer transit options,” received the highest level of agreement out of all fairness statements from those who have provided input thus far, while the statement, “I think people should pay based on how many kilometres they drive,” received the lowest level of agreement. Both of those bode well for Delta drivers, although the fact the commission is continuing to explore distancebased charges is concerning. Perhaps the disclaimer that those charges could vary by time and location would provide relief here. The initiative still requires the political will to push it forward, but as they figure out ways to lighten our wallets in the name of reducing congestion, it’s heartening to know the commission recognizes charges won’t fly unless they’re fair for all.

Greed turns governments into bookie, bootlegger and dealer

few days before Christmas my son and I were in the site office with a friend of ours solving the problems of the world as we sometimes do. The topic of government taxation came up and how every aspect of life is taxed. As the conversation continued, our friend Mike expressed a point of view we had never considered so I asked and received his permission to use it here, with some background and explanation. When I was a teenager I worked part-time at my dad’s General Motors dealership and every now and then this old fellow walked through the shop saying hello to all the mechanics and would wind up going out the back door where he would just stand around. Over the next few minutes the mechanics would lay down their tools one at a time and go out to talk to him, as well as the car salesmen and fellows from the parts department. After a few minutes of this, the old fellow left just the same way he came in, which was all a mystery to a teenager in the early 1960s. Later I learned his name was Charlie and he was a salesman for the Irish Sweepstakes, a betting scheme that Ireland used to finance its health system. Since it was illegal in Canada to gamble, everyone had to be very careful about buying a ticket.

Community Comment GREG HOOVER

Boy things have changed. Now in every service station and convenience store Canadians can buy a wide variety of national and provincial lotteries that the governments control and sell. The sale of liquor and beer has much the same history with bootleggers being the largest suppliers until governments saw how much money could be made. Now there are beer and liquor stores and even grocery chains selling what was previously not acceptable in society. It’s amazing what gains acceptance when government can make money from it. So now our governments have decided the sale and recreational use of marijuana will become legal so Canadian business is falling over itself to grow, distribute and sell this plant. The entire reason for this legalization is money and nothing else. Governments

allow companies to grow and sell it while taking a cut of the profits. So with the legalization of pot government now becomes our bootlegger, our bookie and our local dealer. I assume that taking 50 per cent of everyone’s wages, plus sales taxes on everything we buy, is just not enough to run a country that is already over $500 billion in debt. I suppose they might think if a good percentage of us are drunk or stoned we won’t care much about how we are being governed. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I thought we created governments to protect us from international threats, crime and from ourselves, so I don’t see this action as progress. Prostitution is the only vice our government does not yet control and I wouldn’t be too sure it won’t happen because if I had told the mechanics in dad’s garage that in my lifetime betting, alcohol and marijuana would be legal and sold by the government I would have been the topic of several jokes. So I believe Mike was right: Our governments are slowly taking over what organized crime used to do and are operating off the profits.

Letters

T&C tennis facility must be preserved or replaced

Editor: On the evening of Jan. 17, I, along with a standing-room only crowd of 100 or more, attended a meeting at the Delta Town & Country Inn wherein representatives of Gateway Casinos and the City of Delta met to discuss Gateway’s plan to demolish the current indoor tennis facility on the property. The Gateway representatives presented the

timeline of their development and advised that they hope to be preparing the land for construction on this site by September of this year. The $70-million casino has yet to be approved but is to be put to public hearing this spring. The Application to rezone the land for the casino was received in city hall last November. The tennis community in Delta is going to lose

its only indoor facility in eight months, having only received notice of demolition two months ago. Clearly the Gateway casino proposal is moving through the channels at city hall on the fast track. Representatives of Delta at the meeting advised there are no plans to have Gateway either preserve the existing tennis facility or to have Gateway fund the construction of

a replacement facility at another location in Delta. In the absence of our local government requiring Gateway to preserve or provide funds to rebuild the indoor tennis courts, I must ask the question: Do casino funds trump healthy and active living in Delta? Do community values of recreation and exercise account for nothing anymore? Is Delta so blinded by the prospect of

gambling revenues that it is unprepared to protect and provide for the health and well-being of our citizens? If so, this is a very sad commentary on our commitment to health and wellness. Surely we can do better. In this discussion it is worth noting the cost to replace the current tennis facility is estimated to be $1.5 million. The cost

to preserve it would be significantly less than that. The Gateway casino will cost approximately $70 million to build. Delta expects to receive $5 million per year in gambling proceeds therefore is it not possible that between Gateway and Delta funds can be found to preserve or replace a highly utilized recreational facility? Jane Hindmarch

Two more tunnels would be the most Tunnel info withheld practical and least expensive solution

Editor: Re: Meeting with ministry gave former Liberal government tunnel options, letter to the editor, Jan. 10 Douglas George Massey’s letter regarding the replacement of the George Massey Tunnel should be front page centre in your paper and explored further by one of your ace reporters. I have long felt that adding two extra tunnels to the crossing would be the most practical and least

expensive solution to the crossing problem. The bridge solution was just an expensive crossing to put Christy Clark’s name to a so-called monument of largesse. Adding two extra tunnels and updating the present two tunnels would be far less expensive even after factoring in the money presently spent preparing the site for the bridge foundations. The skyline would remain the same, no

obtrusive structure would dominate the view, the noise would be less and the airplane folks would have a couple of towers less to navigate around. We should follow up Massey’s inquiry as it shows some common sense, a great savings to the taxpayer and also a cover up by the previous government that seemingly was listening to the interests of the Port of Vancouver. We do not need another

“fast ferry” expense to show how great our previous provincial government was. Delta South MLA Ian Paton should champion the cause for us, getting the folks in Victoria to realize that they could make a good name for themselves, even if they are the NDP, by solving a transportation problem with a much less burden on the provincial coffers.

Need for bike lanes on 8A Avenue questioned

Editor: Why bike lanes when there are no bikes? I have just returned from a second so-called “public consultation” meeting with City of Delta staff about road improvements on 8A Avenue in Tsawwassen. Again, the residents are told what the plan is and do not have the opportunity to speak directly with the members of the planning commission who control the process or the political repre-

sentatives responsible. As citizens, we expect taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and well by our politicians. I have lived on this treelined street for over 30 years. Our street, from English Bluff Road to 56th Street, has become quite busy with speeding cars, heavy transport trucks and school buses that shake the house as they rumble along and chew up the potholes.

Although the vehicular width of the road will remain the same, adding bicycle lanes on both sides of the street increases the visual appearance of a wider roadway and the tendency to speed. This planned construction of bike lanes on both sides of 8A Avenue referred to now as a collector road raises a question: Are all collector roads equal? In this situation, there are almost no cyclists ever observed on

Centre for Supportive Care

8A Avenue. The idea of bicycle lanes being connected to collector roads is being applied in a one shoe fits all manner without it being representative of reality or facts. Isabelle Harris

emails have surfaced. Suppose this sat beside someone’s desk? No, sadly, it seems it was a deliberate effort to suppress information. Why? Was the former government afraid the reasons for the premier’s decision — with “no information found” — to announce the bridge would replace the tunnel would be challenged? What was wrong with getting the real facts out? What were they scared of? I think our MLA has some explaining to do and some apologizing for the BC Liberal Party. I think our mayor and council had better get a copy of this report and read it. The report makes sense, and says a tunnel “fix up” plus another tunnel is not only possible, it may be better.

Portcommitteemarksdecade of community engagement

The following is a report from the Port Community Liaison Committee, a multi-stakeholder body that includes representatives from the community, environment, agriculture, industry and local governments that addresses portrelated issues in Delta. Last year marked the 10-year milestone for many of us on the Port Community Liaison Committee. Established in 2007 – originally as the Deltaport Project Community Liaison Committee when the Deltaport Third Berth project was approved — the committee has evolved and matured into a unique forum where information and ideas on port operations and impacts can be exchanged and where often widely differing views are heard and respected. The Port of Vancouver Community Office opened in Ladner in 2014, and has provided a base for the committee as well as a place that local residents can go for information about port activities. Over the last decade, the committee has continued to maintain its core of government, port and industry representatives, which is balanced by a diverse

Looking back on 2017, you may be wondering what happened to the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project – the proposed 108-hectare terminal that would double container capacity at Roberts Bank. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority submitted its environmental impact report to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency back in March 2015. In order to be approved, it must be demonstrated that the project will not cause any “significant adverse environmental effects,” and if there are any such impacts, that they can be mitigated or compensated for. Since May 2016, an independent review panel has been reviewing the environmental assessment reports and requesting additional information from the port authority and from various government and regulatory agencies.

Councillor reminisces about South Delta life in the 1960s Sylvia Bishop’s family moved here shortly after tunnel opened

The Delta Museum and Archives Society has launched Our Delta Stories, a project that asks community members to share their favourite Delta story in 250 words or less. The stories will be posted to the society’s social media pages and website, while some will also be printed in the Optimist. Here’s a look back courtesy of Delta Coun. Sylvia Bishop: My parents discovered Tsawwassen right after the George Massey Tunnel (then known as the Deas Island Tunnel) opened in 1959. Highway 17 was a twolane road. Thriving farmland bordered the route. At the corners of highways 10 and 17, we sometimes got stopped in the lineup of cars leaving the Paterson Park Racetrack where sulkies were the draw. In Tsawwassen at the corner of 56th Street and 12th Avenue, there was one gas station and one shopping centre with the only grocery store in town. Fresh produce could be purchased from farmers’ stands on 56th Street. The lot my parents purchased and built their dream house on is on 5th Avenue near English Bluff. That was 1966 and the house still stands today. The street was a dead end with only a dozen houses on it. At the end of the street was a field. If you

Many people living along English Bluff owned horses. It was not unusual to hear the clip-clop of horses’ hooves coming down the road. Sixth Avenue was a gravel road and South Delta Secondary was just being built. Tsawwassen students were bussed into Ladner to attend Delta Secondary, a practice which stopped once South Delta opened. I just missed out attending the

new school. I’ve included a photo of my Grade 12 homeroom class. I’m in the middle row, third from the right. The finest burgers in town could be had at the Tsawwassen Drive Inn, on 56th Street near 16th Avenue. The Dairy Queen came later. We hung out at the DQ after watching Pacers games at Delta Secondary. There was no bus service. No pool. No arena. We’d have to get a ride to go ice skating at Boundary Bay Airport in one of the old hangars. For fun we’d walk to Centennial Beach or take the 100

stairs down English Bluff to Tsawwassen Beach. Those stairs were rickety and nowhere near as fancy or safe as today’s stairs at Fred Gingell Park. By the late 1960s the move to the suburbs was in full swing; 5th Avenue became a through street, houses were popping up along the forested stretches of English Bluff and 6th Avenue was paved. It was a building frenzy with houses competing with commercial properties for development space. Much has changed since the 1960s but one thing remains the same: We all love Delta.

Welcomes You

Last Saturday morning, an emergency alert went out in Hawaii warning of an inbound ballistic missile and telling people to take immediate shelter. The warning ended with the ominous words: “This is not a drill.” Even though it was quickly recognized to be a false alarm, it was a sobering reminder that the people in Hawaii would only have about 20 minutes’ notice if a missile had been launched from North Korea. It is also a reminder about how casual and complacent we are here in Canada. If we received a similar warning, what would you do? If you live in Ladner, we don’t even have basements to go into. Do you have water or food in the

event of an emergency? Are you ready? That false alarm can also be a sobering reminder that life is uncertain. There are people who died in the last week without even 20 minutes warning. None of us is guaranteed to live through next week.

As important as it is to prepare for an emergency, it is even more important to prepare for the ultimate threat — death. Jesus told a story about a man who became so complacent that he missed his own emergency alert. This man had realized such a huge profit that he decided to kick back and party. That night he died. The bottom line of the story was: “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:21) Most of us will never face the threat of a ballistic missile. Every one of us will face the threat of death, perhaps with little or no warning. Are you ready?

Peter Vassilopoulos, who’s been producing boating books since 1994, has written his first novel, Turn of the Tide.

Author pens adventure tale

Tsawwassen’s Peter Vassilopoulos revisits South Africa for his first novel 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

sawwassen’s Peter Vassilopoulos took a step back to his home country for his debut novel. He’s written Turn of the Tide, an adventure tale about a plan to free political prisoner Nelson Mandela in the 1960s.

Vassilopoulos, who hails from Cape Town, says he had the idea for the novel ever since Mandela was put in prison. The author worked as a news editor at a radio station at the time and could see Robben Island, where Mandela was held, from his office window. “I walked along the beachfront one day,” he says, “and I looked out at the island, [and wondered]

what it would take to get that guy out of jail?” Mandela spent nearly 30 years in prison before eventually becoming the first black president of South Africa. He shared the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with F.W. de Klerk “for their work for the peaceful termination of the apartheid regime, and for laying the foundations for a new democratic South Africa,” the prize’s website notes.

Vassilopoulos deals with apartheid-era politics in the novel. “It’s a part of the story,” he says, noting he gives the reader an idea of what it was like there at the time. The novel includes action in and around the water, including diving. Vassilopoulos came to Canada in 1973 becoming a freelance writer for Pacific Yachting Magazine.

He founded DIVER Magazine and also has a series of boating cruising guides to his credit. He will be selling copies of Turn of the Tide at the Vancouver International Boat Show, which runs until Sunday. After that he says the novel will be available at book stores, including Albany Books and Black Bond Books, marine stores and online.

Coldest Night of the Year coming to Delta in Feb. DAVE WILLIS

The Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk is coming to Delta. Deltassist will be hosting a local edition of the national initiative next month in North Delta. The idea behind the event is for participants to feel what it’s like to be out in the cold, in the middle of February, for a couple hours, says local event coordinator Kirsti Kober. Participants can complete a 2, 5, or 10-kilometre route as well as receive a warm, light meal.

PHOTO COURTESY BLUESEA PHILANTHROPY

Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walks take place in 120 communities across Canada. Walkers and volunteers can collect pledges online through the event’s web-

site, Kober notes. Proceeds will go towards Deltassist’s pro-

grams for seniors and to help improve food security for those at risk, says

event chair Lorraine Yates. Deltassist is hoping to build a community garden at its North Delta office, she adds. The walk takes place Feb. 24 with the New Hope Church, 11838-88th Ave., serving as the start and finish location. Day-of registration starts at 4 p.m. while an opening ceremony is set for 5 p.m. If you’re interested in registering to walk, volunteering or making a pledge, visit https://cnoy. org/location/delta. Deltassist is a non-profit community and family services organization.

Five hip stretches you should be doing low back and knees. Not cool. To help combat tight hip muscles and open up your hips, I recommend these five stretches. Do them daily and reap the benefits in return:

Well on Your Way P.J. WREN

Whether you exercise, don’t exercise, sit a lot or stand a lot, our hips tend to be tight. It’s no wonder. Our hip muscles put in a lot of work during the course of our day. They are responsible for stabilizing our pelvis, moving our legs side to side and drawing our knees to our chest, which is basically every time we sit, run, jump or pedal. And while having a tight rear-end is alright, having tight hips is not. Shortened hip muscles will reduce our range of motion, which in turn may lead to pain in our hips,

1. Seated hip stretch 1. Seated hip stretch Sit on the floor with your knees bent so that your right shin is positioned in front of you, your left shin behind you and your left hip dropped all of the way to the floor. Press your left hip forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your hip. Hold and repeat on other side. 2. Supine adductor stretch with band Lie on your back, extend

into your right foot to shift onto your left hip then squeeze your right glute to press your left hip open until you feel a stretch. Hold and then repeat on other side. 4.

Guild’s T.G.I.F. II opens at Gallery 1710 next week LAUREL JOHNSON

Optimist contributor

Gallery 1710 has a way of attracting creative people who like to bond and share techniques. Friday mornings are always lively as artists from the South Delta Artists Guild spread their tools with enthusiasm. Last year they presented their first show and next Tuesday they are just as enthusiastic about T.G.I.F. II. Organizing a show involves a lot of effort by everyone involved: Who will handle the sales? Who will hang the show? How many works can each artist bring without overwhelming the patrons? Can we bring unframed works, or cards? When will we be opening and will we have a reception with food and entertainment? It’s all decided with speed, and everyone goes beyond the boundaries of their own abilities to add interest to the show and to assist

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Artist Marlene Strain has these two works in the South Delta Artists Guild’s upcoming T.G.I.F. II show. wherever their talents are best utilized. Guild member Marlene Strain contacted Beach Grove Elementary to invite students on a field trip to Gallery 1710 next Friday afternoon. Students will choose their favourite painting in the show and then will have time to do a small painting that will be on display in the studio space until Feb. 3. Awareness of art begins

at a young age, and curiosity about diverse methods can start young children on the road to creative awareness. Gallery 1710 (beside the South Delta Recreation Centre at 1710-56th St.) will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the duration of the show, Jan. 23 to Feb. 3.

Results after 3 months have been very pleasing. My sore muscles are much stronger and I feel better. A stable core has gone a long way to creating a more consistent and efficient golf swing leading to lower scores. I know it will have a similar impact on my hockey.

“When I started Pilates 2 months ago I was a mess – I couldn’t sit, stand or walk for any amount of time. I couldn’t participate in the activities & hobbies that had been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since starting Pilates, I can sit for sufficient time to sew, knit & do computer work. I can walk indefinitely without any issues. My legs are definitely stronger. I can squat & stand with minimal effort. I feel that there is nothing I can’t do around the house or outside. I have reduced my pain medication by 50%. I have discontinued the medication for muscle spasms altogether. I wake feeling refreshed. I love my instructor Patricia. I am not perfect & she accepts that.

Our world could not survive without U.V. light. Visit Three Powerful websites: • Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg Edmonton • Dr. W.B. Grant - Sunarc Research has left no doubt that Vitamin D deficiency - which affects 97% of Canadians in winter - is nothing less than a Canadian crisis and world wide problem. Dr. William Grant (www.sunarc.org) calculates the cost of Vitamin D deficiency to be no less than $9 billion annually. A Creighton University study showed that people rich in Vitamin D have up to a 77% lower overall cancer risk. The Canadian Pediatric Society recommended that pregnant women consult their physicians about getting 2000 I.U. of Vitamin D daily - 10 times the current government recommendations.

The Canadian Cancer Society has called for all Canadian adults to get 1000 I.U. of Vitamin D daily. The key message the Vitamin D Society wants Canadians to receive is: that we are at risk of Vitamin D deficiency because of our country’s relatively weak sunshine most of the year and the fact that Vitamin D is rare in diet. With thanks to the Vitamin D Society for this info, who incidentally recommends asking your doctor for an annual blood test to check your Vitamin D levels.

The Ladner native won a pair of bouts when he was 18 then stepped away from the sport for a variety of reasons, including extensive travelling in South America. Now 25, Smith has resumed his career and he didn’t have to look far to find a familiar face. His coach Ken McInnis is back operating his Lights Out Boxing Club in Richmond, this time at the impressive 30,000 square-foot Gionco’s Martial Arts Super Centre at the very south end of No. 5 Road that also houses the National MMA Academy. The pair have reunited and Smith has proceeded to win three fights in his middleweight class.

“When I was 18, there was just a lot of things going on and I went away and travelled for a long time,” explained Smith as he took a break from his Monday night training session. “There is less on my mind now so I thought I might as well compete again. “I’m running in my spare time and taking days off (from working) when I need to. I would like to take this all the way to nationals and that’s what I’m working towards.” To fight in the open division at provincials, Smith had to have a minimum 10 bouts under his belt. He tried to enter a couple of tournaments to reach the requirements but those boxing shows were eventually cancelled. Instead, the Delta Secondary graduate will compete in the Novice or Sub-Novice class — hoping an impressive showing could open the door for more opportunities. Regardless, McInnis knows he is working with a keen

student that is willing to step into the ring at anytime. “He is always looking to fight, doesn’t miss a session here and is sparring at another gym as well. He is pretty focused and motivated,” McInnis added. Smith initially signed up for a jujitsu class and even tried MMA. However, he was intrigued with the boxing lessons that were taking place at the same time. He attended a drop-in session and there was no turning back. “I always had been inspired by watching it on TV. When I saw there was boxing going on at the gym I was at I figured I had to stop in and do this. I knew almost right away it was the sport for me.” McInnis runs his boxing sessions on Monday and Wednesday nights starting at 7:30 p.m. Call 604-441-5573 for more information.

South Delta blueliner now playing in Emerald City

Owen Williams’ hockey career has moved closer to home. The 17-year-old South Delta blueliner is now a member of the Seattle Thunderbirds after being dealt by the Regina Pats at last week’s Western Hockey League trading deadline. Williams was sent to the Emerald City in exchange for 19-year-old defense-

man Aaron Hyman. He already has registered a pair of assists in three games with Seattle, including Tuesday’s 5-2 win at Prince George. The 6-foot1, 180-pounder suited up in 29 games for Regina, recording one helper. “For us we get a guy who I think is a proven WHL player already

and really fits with what we are trying to put together now,” said Seattle general manager Russ Farwell. Williams made the jump to the WHL this season after helping the Vancouver Greater Canadians reach the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s championship series last season. He had 14

points in 29 regular season games and added 10 more during the Canadians’ playoff run, serving as an assistant captain. He previously spent three seasons in Saskatchewan, playing for Notre Dame Hounds’ Bantam AAA and Midget AAA teams. He was the Pats’s ninth round selection in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft.

Ice Hawks rookie goalie getshelpfromteammate MARK BOOTH

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

With a little help from his teammate, Jordy Engelson is headed to the upcoming Pacific Junior Hockey League Prospects Game after all. The 17-year-old goaltender for the Delta Ice Hawks improved to 16-0-0-0 Tuesday night in a 5-0 victory over the Langley Trappers in Ladner. It was his third shutout of the season. He also leads the league in goals against average and save percentage. However, due to his limited starts at the time, Engelson was left off the Tom Shaw Conference Team for the Prospects Game, slated for Jan. 29 in Abbotsford. Instead, number one stopper Jordan Naylor was given the honour on top of already being named a starter for the league’s all-star game which was played on Monday night. When Naylor, who turned 18 this week, was sidelined for a couple of weeks with an injury last month, it increased Engelson’s workload significantly,. It put him well past the minimum eligibility, but after the rosters had been named. Naylor pleaded to the league to make an

exception. “I am thankful for the opportunity given to me to play in both the PJHL All-Star and Prospects Games. Having said that, I feel personally well-enough represented playing in just the All-Star Game, and I feel no one is more deserving to take my spot in the Prospects Game than my goalie partner, Jordy Engleson. He has had an amazing season as a rookie goalie, and in my option, he deserves to be showcased as an elite prospect,” Naylor wrote. The league listened and agreed — giving his spot to the 17-yearold Vancouver Thunderbirds product. Engleson will be joined on the Tom Shaw team by defensemen Magnus Chung, Isiah Henricks and Liam Visram, along with forwards Jonathan Rees and Michael Araki-Young. Naylor helped the Tom Shaw Conference cruise to a 14-3 win over the Harold Brittian Conference in the PJHL All-Star Game. Delta was also represented by captain Gary Dhaliwal, Jordan Deyrmenjian, Daniel Rubin and Gabriel LaBlanc. Delta travels to Port Moody on Saturday and host Abbotsford on Tuesday at 7:35 p.m.

Great start for U14 United

WILSON, Lucille Agnes September 5, 1924 January 14, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mom, Grandma, Grandma Great and Auntie Lu at the age of 93. She died peacefully January 14, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. She was the last of 4 children born to George and Lucia Dujmovich, and her passing marks the end of a generation of the Dujmovich family. Lucille was predeceased by her husband Michael (Smoky) 6 years ago to the day. She is lovingly remembered by her children Ken (Nancy), Joan (Norman), Karin and “adopted son” Leo (Mary) Patchett. Grandchildren Nathan, Natane (Clint), Natalie (Ron), Nadine (Darren), Clayton (Laurelee), Rhiannon (Wendall), Spencer, Aaron (Megan), Jordan (Elle-Maija), Lee (Patrick), Michael (Debbie). Great-Grandchildren Justice, Ravenlyn, Michael, Nathan Jr, Kiana, Timmy, Jackson, Myla, David, Hunter, Chase, Raven, Dakota, Maelona, Jacob, Morgan, Hunter, Avery and Oliva and another due in May as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Lucille was born in Port Guichon and spent her life living in the area near the river that she loved so much. Lucille married Smoky in 1942 and they spent 69 happy years together sharing a love for their family and friends. Lucille could be seen daily making her special drive thru the farmlands and Wellington Point with Smoky before he passed and the last 6 years with her daughter Joan. Lucille was able to remain in her home up until the last week before she entered Delta Hospital with the excellent care by family and especially Joan. She lived a very rich and full life and her family will all miss her presence and love. During her short stay in the hospital she was blessed to have constant family around her but Joan, Karin, Natane and Kiana helped her to be as comfortable as possible. The family wish to thank Dr. Rogerson and the many doctors and nurses that helped her with her health issues right up to the end. Prayers will take place Sunday January 21, 2018 at 7pm and a Mass of Christian Burial Monday January 22, 2018 at 11am, both at Sacred Heart Church, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, with Father Edgar Officiating. A reception will follow the service at the Sacred Heart Parish Center. Burial will take place following the reception. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Delta Hospital Foundation 5800 Mountain View Blvd, Delta, BC, V4K3V6. “Very much loved and greatly missed” Both together Again Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Clay on December 30, 2017. Clay was an amazing husband, dad, brother, son and son-in-law who was loved, is missed tremendously, and will always be remembered and cherished. Clay was born in Fort Frances, Ontario on October 14, 1961 to Philip Chernaske & Dini Radstake. He moved to BC with his parents in 1982, where he became an electrician. He was also talented in many other areas including stonework, tiling and woodworking, among others. Clay loved to talk about everything in life, history and politics. He had a love of old movies, had the best music playlist going and loved to plan trips and travel. Clay married his wife Margaret on June 28, 1997 in Delta, BC, and became a loving dad to daughters Tracy and Amy. Clay always put his family first and was always willing to be there for everyone. He was kind beyond words, loving and generous, and had a great sense of humour. Clay was predeceased by his parents, Philip Chernaske and Dini Radstake and his sister, Diane Lindstrom. He is survived by his wife Margaret, daughters Tracy and Amy, sister Yvonne (Robert) Smith, mother-in-law Ina Smart, brother-in-law Rick Lindstrom, and other family members. “Strange isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he.” It’s a Wonderful Life A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday January 27, 2018 at 1:00 pm at the Hampton Club Great Room, 5550 Admiral Way, Delta, British Columbia. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Cancer Agency, in Memory of Clay Chernaske, would be appreciated. Delta Funeral Home (604) 946.6040

Win was an avid golfer and member of the Quilchena Golf & Country Club for over 30 years. He shared many fun golf trips over the years with his friends and managed to have 3 holes in one. He loved the Minnesota Vikings and Monday Night Football at the Landing Pub in Ladner with his football buddies. He so loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. Win leaves behind a large and loving extended family in Minnesota and Oregon, along with many wonderful friends who will all miss his stories, jokes and the character he was. A Celebration of Win’s Life will be held on Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 11:00 am at All Saints Anglican Church, 4755 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Win’s name to the Delta Hospital Foundation.
