Community grieving for teen
Outpouring of support for family after 14-year-old Kyle Losse is taken off life support 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 talented young Tsawwassen baseball player, beloved by his coaches, teammates, friends and family, has died following a serious head injury. Kyle Losse, 14, a popular Grade 8 student at South Delta Secondary, was taken off life support at BC Children’s Hospital Tuesday afternoon. The BC Coroner’s Service is investigating to determine the exact cause of death. Kyle’s stepmom Niki spoke with the Optimist yesterday morning. She said Sunday night she and her husband Brian were in bed when they heard a loud crash and found Kyle on the bathroom floor. “He did have a vape pen beside him. At that point he was not really responding to us and sweating profusely, so we carried him to the car and rushed off to Delta Hospital,” said Niki. Niki said staff helped get him into the hospital where the parents explained the situation and the possibility that he might have hit his head. “They tested his blood to find out if anything had been in the vape and everything came back negative for all major drugs, including fentanyl, and they were just unsure if he was having a negative reaction,” she said. “They monitored him for eight hours, but I don’t feel his condition was getting any better. He said his head hurt and he was in and out of consciousness.” Staff released Kyle, telling the parents he was to rest at home

But Niki said when they got home, Kyle was still complaining of a sore head and was in and out of consciousness all Monday morning. Niki called the hospital again to talk with the doctor who was in charge of their case. “The nurse said the doctor had gone home and that she didn’t have his chart in front of
her, but you can do what you want to do,” recalled Niki. “I really didn’t know what to do, but by 1 p.m. I felt his condition was getting worse, so I called 911 and that’s when the first responders came and rushed us to BC Children’s Hospital. “They performed X-rays and CT scans and everything I feel that should have been done at Delta. The doctor at Children’s explained that something had
happened to his entire brain and she couldn’t explain how this could have happened so that’s why an autopsy has to be performed.” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the health authority has reached out to the family to extend sympathies and explain the plans to review Kyle’s care. “Our deepest sympathy goes out to this family. We performed

both toxicological and neurological tests and kept the patient for an extended observation period to which he started to improve,” said Juma. “The patient was neurologically stable when he was discharged with no indication of any outstanding issues.” The sudden loss is being felt by many in the Tsawwassen community.

Delta police officers and community volunteers were out in Tsawwassen Wednesday morning spreading a pedestrian safety message following a serious hit-and-run accident Tuesday night. Const. Leisa Schaefer of the Tsawwassen Community Police Station and volunteers Ian Sandham and Phyll Ciccozzi were handing out bright yellow vests to passersby as well as asking for any information or witnesses to the accident. “We are handing out these reflective vests and encouraging everyone to be safe,” said Schaefer near the entrance of the Thrifty Foods parking lot on 12th Avenue. “We also are looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed anything. Even if they think it isn’t significant, to please come forward and talk with us.” Around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, a middle-age woman was crossing in a crosswalk in the 5500-

DPD say the driver initially stopped, but then allegedly veered around the injured woman and sped off. Paramedics arrived on scene and she was taken to hospital for what initially appeared to be serious injuries, but DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf confirmed
Wednesday afternoon the injuries sustained were not as serious as originally reported. Leykauf said investigation into the hit-and-run is ongoing. “Witnesses relayed that a Ford Ranger pickup truck, possibly dark green in colour, struck the woman,” said Leykauf. Leykauf said police
are currently speaking to witnesses and gathering video evidence. According to DPD, from 2015 to 2017, police responded to 27 pedestrian collisions, three of which were fatal. In the same time range in Tsawwassen, there were five pedestrian collisions, two of which were fatal. The Tsawwassen accidents
occurred along the 56th street corridor at 12th Avenue, 14th Avenue, and 16th Avenue. Anyone with information is asked to contact Delta police at 604-9469411, Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or text “BCTIP” to Crimestoppers at 274637. With files from Sandor Gyarmati
Celebration of life is set for Sunday at Winskill Park CONTINUED from Page 1 A Gofundme page was set up to help support the family and by Thursday morning more than $11,000 had been donated. The family also set up a Remembering Kyle Losse Facebook page where there has been an outpouring of condolences, prayers, well wishes and memories of the popular South Delta youth. “It’s so overwhelming,” said Niki. “So many good stories are coming out, it’s just such a blessing. For the years that he was on this earth so many people loved him.” A celebration of life
will be held this Sunday at noon at Winskill Park. Everyone is welcome and asked to come dressed in their best baseball attire. Kyle played for the Delta Tigers and was training hard in preparation for his first full season with the AAA Bantam squad. Tigers head coach Cam Frick said the team is in shock. “For many of the kids it’s a situation that they have never gone through and as coaches it’s a situation that I could never imagine having to deal with,” Frick said. “Kyle was serious about baseball. He was passionate,
always there with a smile on his face, working hard, trying to get better. His teammates and coaches loved that about him. The second he stepped on the field people knew who he was. “We all loved his passion, his skill, his smile, his hair — he had this big curly blond afro — he was noticeable. His teammates loved him, his coaches loved him.” Last summer Kyle played for the Tsawwassen Athletics, and was one of three Delta players on the B.C. Baseball Selects team that competed at the 13U Triple Crown’s Tri-Cities
Slugfest south of the border. The Athletics were also crowned B.C. Baseball’s 13U Pee Wee AA provincial champions last year after a thrilling final in Campbell River. SDSS principal Terry Ainge said the Delta School District provided additional counselling all week for the students and staff as they try to process the loss. “The district has been fantastic. We have had additional staff on hand to support students in the counselling centre, so that has been really appreciated,” said Ainge.
Ainge said Kyle was a beautiful kid and incredibly likeable. “He had a very positive energy that attracted others. Very sociable. Teachers knew him to be kind, respectful and polite,” added Ainge. “Kyle had a lot of empathy himself. He was able to see things from the perspective of others. There was a maturity about him that was really evident.” Kyle is survived by his stepmom Niki, biological dad Brian Losse, his brother Tyler, 7, sister Vada, 6, brother Joshua, 15, and his biological mom Jamie Palidwar.

Qualtrough announces end of community mailbox program IAN JACQUES

Delta MP and Minister of Public Services and Procurement Carla Qualtrough (right) announced Wednesday the Liberal government won’t be continuing with a federal program that was phasing out home mail delivery.
Home mail delivery will continue for Ladner residents and others across the country. On Wednesday, Delta MP and Minister of Public Services and Procurement Carla Qualtrough announced the federal government’s vision for renewal at Canada Post, including the termination of a previous Conservative
program to convert home delivery to community mailboxes. When that program was announced, Ladner was the first community in the Lower Mainland targeted for conversion and as of Nov. 16, 2015, close to 5,000 residences could have lost their home delivery. A few weeks after the last federal election, that program was suspended and has now been terminated.

“Everyone in Canada who has home delivery now will keep their home delivery,” Qualtrough told the Optimist. “It’s very rewarding to say that we saved home delivery and as Delta MP I was thrilled to make this announcement because it affected so many people in my riding.” Qualtrough said the home delivery issue was something she heard loud and clear during the election campaign and in the first few months as MP. “There is no question that if there was a different government in place there would be no home delivery in Canada,” she said. “We undertook a review and I will say that Delta

provided a ton of feedback because it was so near and dear to the hearts of South Deltans who were facing this.” Although home delivery won’t be cut to any more communities across the country, those that saw their delivery transitioned to community mailboxes through the program won’t have their home delivery restored. Qualtrough said Wednesday’s announcement is the first step of a longer-term process for renewing Canada Post so that it will remain relevant, valued and viable for the long term, and continue to provide good middle-class jobs and valued services to Canadians.

A recent illegal cannabis grow operation in North Delta, busted by Delta police, is highlighting the challenges law enforcement will soon face when new marijuana legislation comes into effect later this year. Chief Neil Dubord updated Delta police board members last week on the illegal operation police raided in late November. Dubord said a complaint was received by the mayor’s office on Oct. 17 regarding concerns over a potential cannabis grow operation in a home. “Upon investigation, it was learned that Health Canada issued a licence dated Nov. 28 allowing 93 plants to be grown at that location,” Dubord said. “Although licensed, drug investigators continued with the investigation due to evidence that suggested the operation was not consistent with 93 plants.” He said a judicial application was granted, allowing police to execute a search warrant on the home, which yielded 541 plants in various stages of growth. The residence was under the care of a caretaker, who was employed to maintain the plants and the equipment. “This was essentially a commercial venture within a residential area of Delta,” Dubord said. In addition to the seizure, one female was taken
into custody, but later released. The DPD drug section seized the overages (448 plants), leaving the 93 plants authorized by Health Canada. No charges are anticipated due to the impending legalization of cannabis. “This file highlights concerns regarding the overlapping legislation that will occur between medical and non-medical cannabis,” added Dubord. “Regulations under the access to cannabis for medical purposes compared to those of the Cannabis Act will create confusion regarding public consumption, residential cultivation, personal possession limits, impaired driving investigations as well as implications for human resource management.” According to Dubord, front line police officers will be the primary responders to the majority of calls concerning cannabis regulations. In order to mitigate risk to the organization, and protect the integrity of police investigations, clarification will be required to determine how best to approach this issue, he said. “Enforcing laws associated to cannabis will become increasingly difficult to navigate in the coming months,” Dubord added. “Do we still need to have production facilities for medical marijuana in private residences? I would suggest that potentially we consider no.”

Hosts benefit from casinos, chamber told
Those involved with Delta proposal tell luncheon local gov’t receives 10 per cent of net profits 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 community will benefit from hosting a casino. That was the message conveyed by officials proposing a $70-million gaming facility during a presentation to a Delta Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday at the Delta Town & Country Inn. Tanya Gabara, public relations director for Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Ltd., and Chris Fairclough, manager of stakeholder engagement for the B.C. Lottery Corporation, talked about Gateway’s application, which was submitted to the City of Delta last fall, to build a casino and hotel on the Delta Town & Country Inn site. Both said the design is evolving based on public feedback, while also reiterating how gaming facilities in B.C. contribute 10 per cent of net profits to host local governments. Fairclough noted last year $96 million went back to local governments
and just one example of how that revenue was used over the years is the Richmond Olympic Oval, which was funded entirely through gaming revenues. Deltans who went to the River Rock Casino Resort helped pay for it, he said. The lottery corporation told the Optimist earlier this week it estimates revenue coming to Delta will be at the top end of its initial $1.5 million to $3 million projection based on the casino opening with 500 slot machines, a figure BCLC has termed as a conservative estimate. The proposed Delta casino would be built to house up to 600 slot machines to accommodate potential future growth. “It’s not just gambling. It’s not just entertainment. It’s the benefit that goes back to the communities,” said Fairclough. Gabara said Gateway’s charitable giving program is also aimed at creating stronger, more vibrant communities. She said the proposed Delta casino, which has yet to be named, would not be just about gambling
Delta hosting open houses
Delta is hosting a series of open houses in early February to provide the public with more information on the casino proposal before the application goes to Delta council. All sessions will run from 4 to 8 p.m. on the following dates: • Thursday, Feb. 1 at Harris Barn in Ladner • Wednesday, Feb 7 at Sungod Recreation Centre in North Delta • Thursday, Feb. 8 at Harris Barn in Ladner PHOTO BY SANDOR GYARMATI
Tanya Gabara with Gateway Casinos and Chris Fairclough with the B.C. Lottery Corporation told Delta Chamber of Commerce members Wednesday the proposed casino/hotel complex at the Delta Town & Country Inn site is ideally suited to serve Delta and south of the Fraser. but would provide an entertainment experience. About 4,000 adults from Delta are registered to play at casinos elsewhere in the region, so a built-in market is already there, but the Delta casino would also serve a wider market south
of the Fraser River. Fairclough said about 3.3 per cent of gamblers have “some issues” when it comes to gambling, which is why BCLC has taken a number of measures, including communitybased counselling. He said
the lottery corporation’s emphasis is on player health and “positive play.” BCLC has invested in gambling research at UBC and from those studies the GameSense strategy was developed, he explained. One of the questions
from the audience concerned organized crime and money laundering, something that has turned out to be a big issue at the River Rock. Fairclough noted processes are being improved. Former RCMP deputy commissioner Peter German was appointed by the provincial government to review policies on money laundering prevention. His report comes out this March.

Delta police moved quickly to contain a man seen wielding a machete last Friday morning in North Delta. Officers were alerted to the incident just before noon and were joined by Air 1 and the Lower Mainland District Police Dog Service in an effort to arrest the man spotted near Kittson Parkway. According to police, four officers took part in a brief foot pursuit down Kittson Parkway prior to the man being arrested. Neither the suspect nor officers were injured during the incident, and there are no reports of any members of the public being injured. “I want to thank the motorists who assisted our police officers by stopping and waiting for this to be safely resolved. It was understandably a startling sight for them,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. The suspect was taken to hospital to be evaluated and will be facing charges.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY
t’s a case of wanting more of a good thing. Community police stations have been around these parts for about a quarter-century now, introduced in the early 1990s as a way for the Delta Police Department to provide service to the community on a more personal and accessible level. Overseen by officers but staffed by teams of volunteers, these stations have been, by all accounts, an outreach success story by allowing people to access police services right in their own neighbourhoods. There was some debate last year at the Delta police board over the desire to see these stations expand their hours to better serve the public, a sentiment borne out of the fact the one in Tsawwassen is only open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday, while the Ladner station is open Tuesday to Friday, also from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It was decided earlier this month the hours of operation would remain at their current levels. There are two big hurdles when it comes to extending hours – staffing costs and a sufficient volunteer force – but it was also determined that it’s better to focus on programming than overthe-counter services. I don’t take issue with any of that, but if there’s value to have the stations open during banker’s hours on weekdays, when much of the community is at work or school, then surely there’s a benefit to extending operating hours to the weekend. It was telling that a report to the police board on the issue stated the impact on the amount of activity at the Tsawwassen office was significant after it relocated to the Town Centre Mall early last year. It was chalked up to being in a more visible location, which is true enough, but think how much busier it might be if the station was open on weekends when there are more shoppers at the mall. The department wouldn’t continue to operate the stations if they weren’t working, which is a testament to the officers stationed there as well as volunteers who put in countless hours of their own time, so the idea of more of a good thing makes sense. If anything, it’s got to be considered flattering there’s been a call to extend hours at the stations. I recognize that getting to that point has its challenges, but it sounds like it would be a worthwhile goal.
Do we know what casino will bring to our community?
C
asinos have made a lot of headlines these past few months. Here in our backyard, focus has been on Gateway’s casino proposal to replace the Delta Town & Country Inn. Though the proposal was only received in November and the City of Delta will begin holding public consultation sessions next week, project proponents are looking to break ground this fall. After all, based on the letters, it would appear the tennis club has already received their eviction notice. This is an exceptionally ambitious schedule, but perhaps Gateway has good reason to be so confident considering that Delta council actively solicited to have the casino come to Ladner. It is interesting to note that B.C. Lottery Corporation’s estimate of $3 million in revenue to be received by Delta is less than one-fifth of the amount that Richmond receives per year from the River Rock Casino Resort, which generated $153.7 million over the last 10 years. Make of it what you will, just thought you should know. Before going any farther, I have to say that, if a casino is to be built anywhere in South Delta, the Delta Town & Country Inn
Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG
is probably the best situated site. I am not against a casino in principle, but there are a lot of unanswered questions that need to be addressed and some logical inconsistencies coming out of Delta council that require explanation. It is also interesting to me to see how dead set Delta council is against any activity relating to the cannabis industry due to unknown factors and the unsubstantiated possibility of attracting organized crime. This seems to be directly contradictory to its stance on casinos where it is so ready to accept the gambling industry which has been directly linked to international money laundering, addiction, organized crime, alcoholism and spousal abuse, according to the Wellesley
Institute report, The Real Cost of Casinos. Is the Delta Police Department ready to bear the burden of increased policing costs? Does it have the manpower to handle the windfall of potential fraud cases? There are so many questions that we do not have the answer to, not the least of which come from our solicitor general: Did massive increases in provincial gambling revenue cause the previous provincial Liberal government to turn a blind eye to the “countless red flags to regulators” and defund the illegal gambling unit after it linked organized crime to B.C. casinos? Connections such as $13 million in $20 bills from VIP high rollers went unchecked until the most recent inquiry. I would hate to see the “wild west of political cash” also be home to what has been dubbed the “Vancouver model” of casino money laundering. All of this raises the question: Do we know what we are inviting into our community with Gateway’s casino proposal?

Thoroughness of panel called into question
Editor: Re: Port committee marks decade of community engagement, Jan. 19 I have been a member of the Port Community Liaison Committee (PCLC) and its predecessor since its inception. Generally the articles submitted to the Optimist are well informed. Regrettably this is not the case this time. Concerning the Roberts Bank Container Terminal 2 proposal the article states: “It appears that the panel is being thorough in
seeking out information regarding the environmental impacts of the proposed Terminal 2.” There is no factual basis to make this statement. The PCLC has not discussed T2 in detail at any time in 2017. Neither has the PCLC reviewed the work of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s panel review of T2. So how can it be said that the panel is being thorough. That may be the view of individuals on the committee but it is not mine.
Action needed to deal with smell
Editor: Re: Ladner to get Richmond’s organic waste, Jan. 17 Is it because only 200 concerned residents showed up to a public meeting and not a 1,000 complaints as was the case in Richmond that we end up with yet more of someone else’s stinky waste? I am sure we can do better if that is all it takes to rid ourselves of this smell. Not to mention that it appears that Metro Vancouver has not yet issued an air quality permit but it is OK to dump here any-
ways? What is wrong with Delta council to allow this to happen or does it care? I guess not. Although I live west of Highway 17A, there are days that it is very uncomfortable using our patio. Yes, we need to attract new businesses but not at the cost of so many being unable to enjoy their homes and when it comes to paying our property taxes it hurts even more. Delta issues the business licence so do not tell me it cannot do anything. G. Bramhill
Put the politics aside Editor: Let’s finally put politics aside in 2018. After many conflicting letters to you on the bridge versus tunnel issue, I have yet to see an answer to
true facts versus possible fiction. The other question is: Will professional engineers and companies build an unsafe bridge or tunnel? Dave Clarke
Yes, the panel is starting to ask some of the right questions about environmental impacts, but thus far the panel appears to have chosen to restrict its questions primarily to the port, regulatory agencies and First Nations. There is a critical need for credible independent sciencebased reviews of the key area of concern: the precautionary principle and the potential T2 impact on biofilm. Why? Because the unique biofilm that exists on Roberts Bank is a crucial food source for
millions of shorebirds, including the western sandpipers as well as other wildlife. Without this the entire western sandpiper population will be at risk. This project cannot proceed unless and until there has been a thorough independent science-based review by experts familiar with and working in the field, because the potential for damage, if T2 were to proceed, will be irreversible and its impacts cannot be mitigated. Regrettably, neither the panel nor Environment
Canada have called in independent experts, despite the fact there are people able to lend their expertise. Instead, the panel is relying on input from the port and its own consultants which some suggest are flawed in a number of key aspects. Equally, government agencies, especially Environment Canada, are relying on meagre internal resources because these agencies, for the most part, lack the funding to draw on independent experts. This needs to change.
The panel needs to contact and engage directly with internationally recognized experts in the field of biofilm, such that they can be asked to provide an independent science-based analysis for the impacts on biofilm from potential changes, including salinity, water temperature and tidal flows, that will result from T2. The public deserves to be fully informed about the panel review and the key areas of environmental concern. Roger Emsley
Tax on sugary drinks just won’t work
Editor: Re: Sugary drinks tax could make huge difference for children, Community Comment, Jan. 12 A tax won’t work - real solutions to complex health issues are required. All Canadians would agree that the health and well-being of our children is important. This is not lost on the beverage industry, which is why we have been working to reduce the number of calories Canadians consume from our products through our Balance Calories Initiative. Launched in 2015, Balance Calories is the beverage sector’s industry-leading initiative, in a partnership with the Conference Board of Canada, which is aiming to reduce beverage calories consumed per capita nationally by 20 per cent between 2015 and 2025. The Balance Calories Initiative, in partnership with the innovative techniques of our member companies, is implement-

Canadians know that complex health issues like obesity cannot simply be solved with a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. This past December, the Conference Board of Canada released its Balance Calories Tracking Report 2017. The report shows that in the first two years of Balance Calories, there was a 10.2 per cent reduction in calories from sugar consumed by Canadians from nonalcoholic/non-dairy beverages. In total since 2004, there has been an at least 30 per cent reduction in calories. This reduction is corroborated by the federal government’s own Canadian Community
tions. The sweeteners used in our beverages, such as aspartame, have been extensively studied by leading health organizations around the world, and are deemed safe. The many low- and no-calorie options provide Canadians with greater choice in the way in which they can reduce their calorie consumption. Canadians know that complex health issues like obesity cannot simply be solved with a tax on sugarsweetened beverages. A sugar-sweetened beverage tax has been tried in other
jurisdictions and has failed to achieve the intended health outcomes. Most recently seen in Philadelphia, according to a recently published Oxford Economics Study, the implementation of a beverage tax has resulted in the loss of 1,192 jobs, $80 million in lost GDP, $54 million in lost labour income and $4.5 million in lost local tax revenue. The Canadian Beverage Association believes decisions that affect the health of Canadians need to be informed by sound science and research from industry, public health and government. We know we have a role to play in the health of Canadians and we are actively implementing evidence based solutions through the Balance Calorie Initiative to innovate and support better health outcomes for all Canadians.

Editor: We are the only small community without a movie theatre. I would think the lack of fun things to do for the general populace trumps a casino that draws gangsters and money laundering to our town. It is pretty boring out here in paradise. I hear this all the time from the young and those that crave entertainment close to home. The nearest theatre is two bus rides away, and
for many of our youngsters who would like to socialize, there isn’t much to do after their sporting and school activities, not to mention everyone else that wants to go out and enjoy a good movie now and again. After all, electronic communication is not really socializing. When the general manager of Tsawwassen Mills spoke to the South Delta Probus Club months before the mall opened, he
stated that Cineplex was not interested in opening a movie theatre out here. White Rock has two theatres that don’t belong to this chain, so why don’t the developers of both malls step up and try to bring a theatre here. I remember when we had a theatre in Tsawwassen. It was such a great place to get out and enjoy ourselves with our children and friends. A theatre in Tsawwassen would also benefit the
many businesses and shops with an influx of people, before and after a movie. We should rally to keep the indoor tennis courts at the Delta Town & Country Inn, which provide much needed exercise and social development for our citizens. Why, with all the congestion at the tunnel and River Road, would they even consider placing a casino there? Forty years ago we had
a five-pin bowling alley underground at the Town Centre Mall. Tournaments and weekly team games were amazingly fun. I wonder if the ghost alley is still there. Bowling is such a social sport compared to sitting on a stool, aimlessly stuffing hard earned money down a slot machine. The emphasis should be on wholesome entertainment in South Delta, not gambling. Eileen Kuettel

of Transportation and Infrastructure to make the “report” from Tunnel Engineering Consultants dated April 4, 2013 public by posting a link on its website. I received a response on Jan. 19 saying it does not have permission to post the report and that it is available online.
I think your readers deserve to review the so-called “report” from Tunnel Engineering Consultants so they can draw their own conclusion on the content. Here is the “report” in PDF: https:// pricetags.files.wordpress. com/2018/01/massey-tec4-april-r2-compatibility-
mode1.pdf. I personally find this “report” weak on details and void of costs for any construction option. It’s really a sales presentation using PowerPoint from a company that has experience in only building tunnels. No one would expect any government to make a
decision based on this one “report.” If the “report” truly did not come up in the original FOI request, then the new provincial government needs to review FOI procedures to ensure information is released when requested. Keith Munro
Growing turf, recycling garbage isn’t farming
Editor: After promising residents at a town hall meeting last November to reduce the so-called organics, Enviro-Smart Organics (GFL) is now taking the stinky garbage from Richmond households. Richmond ordered its waste to go to Delta because Harvest Power was causing an odour
problem for residents. Now Delta’s air quality will be further contaminated. None of these recycling businesses, Enviro-Smart or Harvest Power, have shown they want to solve the problem by buying the right technology or enclosing their open air facilities. The problem is not the vegetable scraps but the meat which causes the putrid smell.
Any backyard composter will tell you not to put meat products in your composter. It causes multiple problems starting with the odour. Basically it is dead animal tissue and it is going to smell as it rots. Where are our civic leaders on this issue? Delta council, Metro Vancouver and the Ministry of Environment
need to solve this problem for the citizens they serve or the citizens may end up holding their noses at them too. Enviro-Smart is not going to fix the problem; it has proved not to be a good neighbour. Delta is a farming community. Growing turf and recycling garbage is not farming. Peggy Richardson
Disgusted to hear incoming organic waste news Editor: Re: Ladner to get Richmond’s organic waste, Jan. 17 I am disgusted to hear that Richmond’s organic waste will be processed at Enviro-Smart’s 72nd Street processing facility as of Feb 1. Enviro-Smart has been the subject of many, many
complaints from Ladner residents for the past few years due to the extremely foul smell which permeates the air in East Ladner. As recently as November, 200 concerned residents voiced their concern at a public meeting with the owners of Enviro-Smart (Toronto-based GFL Environmental Inc.).
Happy 100th Birthday
to our Mom, Babi and Prababi!
With love from the whole family
Once again, we are told that GFL is “continuing to work with Metro” on its air quality permit application. More promises which have not been delivered. Yet, despite all the complaints from residents, and despite promises which have not been kept, Enviro-Smart will be processing Richmond’s organ-
ic waste as of Feb 1. Why was this approved and who approved it? Sounds to me like the definition of insanity: keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Who is holding this company accountable for what it has promised to deliver? Rita Smith
Good reasons to legalize pot Editor: Re: Greed turns governments into bookie, bootlegger and dealer, Community Comment, Jan. 19 Just a small clarification on Greg Hoover’s column. He stated, “The entire reason for this (marijuana) legalization is money and nothing else.” That’s a very non-researched and inaccurate assumption. There are many good reasons to take this useful and comparatively harmless herb out of courts,
off the streets, out of the hands of organized crime and, hopefully, away from children. Of course, teens will still manage to access it just as they’re able to get alcohol and cigarettes, but it won’t be quite as easy with proper laws in place. If we follow Amsterdam’s lead, which seems to help society there, prostitution may be another “vice” worth looking at controlling. Gary Gibbons

Delta heritage banner winners recognized Riley Bouchey takes grand prize honour 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 recognized the winners of its annual Heritage Banner Design Contest at Monday’s council meeting. Mayor Lois Jackson presented the three winners with a certificate, a $350 honorarium and a street banner with their design. This year’s winners were selected by a panel of volunteer judges from Delta’s Heritage Advisory Commission, Watershed Artworks and South Delta Artists Guild. Together, they selected winners for the South Delta, North Delta and Youth/Child categories, with one of them selected as the grand prize winner. Riley Bouchey was selected as the grand prize and Youth/Child category winner with her design entitled We Are All Connected. The banner represents the dependency of farmers and fishermen on nature and wildlife. Flushed with shades of blue accompanied by splashes of colour, her work features many elements that highlight the relationship between our community and surroundings. The South Delta winner is Dorothy Hobbs with her entry entitled View of Mount Baker from Centennial Beach. Hobbs’ multi-layered piece
acknowledges the diversity within the three communities of Delta. The three shades of blue that make up the sky signify Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta, while the rainbow-coloured wings of the eagle and heron identify the multiculturalism in the region. The North Delta winner is Marlene Graham, an accomplished photographer, with her entry entitled Our Future, Our Past. Her photograph, taken at Brunswick Point, depicts the remains of an old fishing cannery silhouetted against a breathtaking sunset. The piece recalls the importance of the Fraser River on Delta’s past, while also signifying the vitality it brings to our future. This is the fourth year Delta has hosted the contest in an effort to spread awareness of the city’s storied heritage and to showcase the artistic talent in the community.

London Drugs donates laptops to ElderCollege
As ElderCollege Delta gears up for its 15th spring season, council members were delighted to learn that London Drugs has stepped up to offer a donation of four laptop computers for use in its popular technology courses. These courses have enabled scores of local seniors (50 years+) to become more computer literate, whether it be learning the basics to advanced applications, including word processing, photography, genealogy, digital and social media and more. “We extend a huge thank you to London Drugs for this donation,” said Sally Norcott, who heads up the committee that organizes the technology programs. “In addition to upgrading our hardware, these new laptops will mean that seniors who don’t have a portable computer can get hands-on practice with the Windows 10 operating system.” While computer and technology offerings

Hundreds attend Burns dinners The Delta Police Pipe Band hosted 870 guests over two nights last weekend at its 44th annual Robbie Burns dinners at Sacred Heart School hall. On Friday night, Delta Mayor Lois Jackson was honoured by the band for her many years of unwavering support and friendship. Accompanied by Delta police Chief Neil Dubord, Jackson was presented a band plaque signifying this honour. On Saturday night, gifts were exchanged with Seattle Police Pipe Band members with whom the Delta Police Pipe Band shares
a great relationship and camaraderie. The band performed three sets under the direction of new pipe major Steve Ramsden and drum majors Bill O’Donnell and Jim Wishlove. The crowd was also entertained by The Deltones, the band’s own Regimental Dancers and the Thistlebrook Academy of Scottish Dancers. The band will travel to Switzerland this July for the Basel Tattoo, the world’s second largest military tattoo. Funds raised last weekend will help defray costs of the trip.
The band would like to thank the following for their great support throughout the year: Dubord and the Delta Police Department, Jackson and the City of Delta, the Ladner and Tsawwassen branches of the Royal Canadian Legions, the Steveston Army and Navy, Ladner and Tsawwassen SaveOn Foods, Four Winds Brewery, Barry Marshall and Sacred Heart Church, and the Delta Optimist.

were needs that the original disciples could not manage… and the “twelve” soon were overwhelmed with the needs of Gods people. So, they listened to God’s will and responded by expanding the minis-
try to include others who would share in proclaiming the Good News and still others who would feed God’s people. Stephen was one of the first called to serve in this fashion, and the church has continued this ordained ministry of service, called the Diaconate, or Deacons of the church (see Acts 6:17). We are blessed with new resources and wish to respond as God would have us do in order to be faithful to our calling. Like the early prophets and apostles, we’re listening and discerning how our ministry may grow as the early church did so that, “the word of God continued to spread; the number of the disciples increased greatly…”

As a community, our work is similar to those who first gathered as a Christian community. We try to work as first century followers of Jesus who “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” (Acts 2:42) However, like those first burgeoning communities, the work grew to include many more activities. There were gatherings for teaching and healing and there

outh Delta comedy fans will be getting a Downtown Vancouver show without having to make the trek through the tunnel into the big city next month. There will be a standup comedy night in support of the South Delta Secondary’s dry grad on Saturday, Feb. 10 hosted by experienced Tsawwassen comedian Billy Mitchell. “It’s a powerhouse show,” he says. Mitchell has hosted previous local comedy night dry grad fundraisers and the event has a solid track record of having an inter-
esting diversity of acts, he notes. Slated to perform this time are Richard Lett, Simon King and Justin Nichol. Lett has been in the business for over 30 years, Mitchell says, noting he used to open for him back when he was starting. “He’s a force to be reckoned with,” Mitchell says. He says King has a highspeed style and is also a master impressionist. Nichol has quickly become a favourite at Yuk Yuks comedy clubs and various colleges and universities across Canada, having shared the stage with such stars as Brent Butt from Corner Gas, Tim Meadows from Saturday Night Live, Lachlan Patterson from
Last Comic Standing and Gary Valentine from King Of Queens, according to a submitted bio. The comedy night fundraiser takes place Saturday, Feb. 10 at South Delta Secondary, 750-53rd St., Tsawwassen. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. while the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time for $20 in person at the Wood N Frog Coffee Company, 5694-12th Ave., Tsawwassen, or online through Eventbrite.ca (search for SDSS Comedy Night 2018). Tickets at the door cost $25. Mitchell notes that this isn’t an “all ages” show and that parental discretion is advised.
DSS grad stays busy with Legally Blonde musical DAVE WILLIS
d w i l l i s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
Ladner’s Dani-Rose Coates has her hands full as part of Align Entertainment’s upcoming production of Legally Blonde. She plays a sorority girl as well as a court stenographer in the musical as well as being an understudy for a handful of other roles. Coates, 23, says she’s up for the challenge of learning multiple sets of harmonies, dance moves, and lines, one that’s required a lot
of organizational skills. “It’s been really good for me to push myself to be more organized,” Coates says with a laugh. She is a graduate of Capilano University’s musical theatre program and has been in productions like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Under The Same Sky. In addition to working full-time Coates, a Delta Secondary grad, is also the lead singer in a band, Shikane. The group, which has been together for about a year and a half, plays rock and blues
covers and is currently working on new, original material, she explains. “It’s been an incredible experience,” she says, noting the band is scheduled to play at the Landing on St. Patrick’s Day. Legally Blonde runs from Feb. 2 to 17 at the Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 Macpherson Ave., Burnaby. Tickets are $27 to $39. Visit alignentertainment.ca/tickets or call 778-888-8444.

Ladner filmmaker Jason Mills has a showing scheduled next week for his new adventure/horror flick. Bigfoot Country tells a story about a group of hikers who go into the woods, despite being warned not to, and encounter a Sasquatch. The independent movie marks Mills’ fifth feature film. It was filmed last summer in Ladner and Chilliwack and Mills, 34, says it was probably the most fun he’s had on set. His wife Kiana Passmore played a lead role in the movie. She says it was an intense experience with a small timeframe to get it done but that the actors and crew worked well together and made it happen. The film will be shown at The Cinematheque in Vancouver next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the door. Bigfoot Country is also available through Walmart, Mills says.

Brit Lions’ mini-rugby program has launched its spring season, for boys and girls age five to 13, and continues through until the end of May.
BritLionshostingTRYRugbyDay Delta club invites kids to get a free taste of their grassroots program on Feb. 4 MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
The Brit-Lions are hosting their inaugural TRY Rugby Day to introduce the sport to a potential new generation of players. Al Pruden, the coordinator for the club’s mini-rugby program, says the majority of young players take to the pitch because they’ve spent numerous Saturdays on the sidelines as their mom or dad played for the John Oliver Park-based organization. TRY Rugby Day is a chance to reach a broader audience whose curiosity about the sport may have been piqued by the party atmosphere of the annual HSBC Rugby Sevens tournament at B.C. Place or the international success of Canada’s men’s and women’s teams. The free event is set for Sunday, Feb. 4 from 10 a.m. until noon. “We want the sport to be as popular in the community as soccer, hockey or football. So we have made programs as family-friendly as possible,” explained Pruden who has been with the club for over 30 years and his son Connor has played the past four seasons. The TRY Rugby event will expose kids to various elements of the game through stations that have been developed by the B.C. Rugby Union. They’ll learn a little about rugby skills
like agility, running and passing. “They get to try a bit of this and a bit of that and have fun,” continued Pruden. “That’s how we grew up with the game.” The Bri-Lions have also partnered with Delta parks and recreation and B.C. Rugby to offer Rookie Rugby for kids age three to six. It is an introductory form of the game played indoors using flags to signify ‘tackles’ much like flag-football. It is a safe and fun way to get tots interested in the game early. At the club, youngsters start playing flag rugby on a smaller pitch and games are noncontact. They wear ‘flag-belts’ to signify a ‘tackle’. Contact is introduced at the Grade 4 level and by the end of that season the kids have been taught how to properly execute a tackle safely. Pruden said it can be tough to ease parents’ concerns about hitting and tackling. “We make every effort to promote safe contact with drills and progressive instruction,” he explained. “Parents at first have a lot of apprehension but they quickly see we are focused on skill and safety and not the massive hits seen in international play. Once they see that it’s not so rough they really get into it.” Practices and games, for all age groups, are held at the same time, on the same days. It makes it conducive for siblings to join as the whole family can enjoy the activity without
schlepping back and forth across town all day. John Oliver features three fields and a clubhouse to warm up in after games and practice. All teams are co-ed until U14 when players split up into young men’s and women’s teams. Scores aren’t officially kept for kids’ games. Rather, it’s more important to introduce them to rugby’s unique culture of respect and sportsmanship. Many of Brit-Lions’ senior players started playing at the high school level. Some have gone on to university, provincial or national teams. Stephan Lenahan a coach and volunteer with Brits’ mini program, said rugby doesn’t just reward the best athletes on the pitch. Lenahan also suits up for the men’s division two team and played rugby in Great Britain. His two boys and daughter are veteran minirugby players on both sides of the Atlantic. Unlike many other sports, rugby allows all teammates the same opportunity. “Anyone can score a try. You can be the slowest kid on the pitch as long as you follow the team and you’re in the right place at the right time,” said Lenahan. “It’s a huge confidence booster for a kid.” The club’s spring mini-rugby season will start with TRY Rugby Day and continue Sundays till the end of May.

Busy Hawks coach makes rare bench appearance MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
The busiest man in junior hockey was behind the Delta Ice Hawks bench Tuesday night for the first time in a month. Darren Naylor watched his team skate to a 3-1 home ice win over the Abbotsford Pilots before racing down Highway 17 to catch the 10:45 p.m. Duke Point ferry. Back on Dec. 22 Naylor was named head coach and general manager of the B.C. Hockey League’s Nanaimo Clippers. It was decided he would continue on in the same roles with the Ice Hawks although his availability would be limited. His longtime assistant Ken McPhalen is in charge most game nights while former captains Quinten Wideski and Cam
Cuthbert were added to the staff. Naylor will be making the trip over again this coming Tuesday when the Ice Hawks host rival Richmond Sockeyes at 7:35 p.m. “It’s going to get easier now. Things settled down over there now, although I will still just be doing Tuesdays here,” said Naylor in a brief post-game interview before he quickly exited the Ladner Leisure Centre. As for the Ice Hawks, they continue to pile-up wins albeit not in the same dominating fashion of late. The Pilots came to town with just 12 skaters after three were suspended following a brawl against North Vancouver last Friday. Still, they gave Delta all it could handle. “I thought they were a little slow at the start and maybe they have been getting away with not getting barked at lately,” smiled
“You have to remember it’s a change for them too. It’s like having a substitute teacher for the past four weeks but they responded well. It also helped having Cam and Quinten there tonight and they saw how it goes (with me coaching). Young guys don’t know their boundaries but these players want to be pushed as hard as they can. They are going to be a couple of good young coaches.” As for the Clippers, after four straight wins under Naylor, they have dropped seven in-a-row. Injuries have played a major factor in the recent slide. “We are finally going to be healthy this week. We lost our top goalie, captain and leading scorer, along with our second leading scorer. Not many teams could handle that. I’m not worried. We are going to be fine.”
Darren Naylor was back behind the Ice Hawks bench Tuesday for the first time since he took over the Nanaimo Clippers last month. Naylor. “They got going in the second and I thought as the
game went on they were the better team.
Veteran-loaded Sockeyes hold advantage in Tunnel Cup series finale
The Delta Ice Hawks have their work cut out for them if they hope to get their hands on the inaugural Tunnel Cup. It’s the final regular season meeting between the Hawks and the Richmond Sockeyes on Tuesday night (7:35 p.m.) in Ladner and it’s the visitors who hold the upper hand in the cross-river rivalry that now has a trophy annually on the line. A 6-5 home ice overtime win on Dec. 7 gave the
Sockeyes a 2-1 lead in the season series. Furthermore, they have been on a blistering pace for nearly three months as general manager Richard Petrowsky stockpiled veteran talent. When the league’s trading deadline ended on Jan. 10 the Sockeyes roster included a whopping 13, 20-yearolds. The latest additions — defenceman Ian Ross and forward Jordan Funk — came from the B.C. and Saskatchewan junior “A” leagues respectively. Funk has
13 points in five games since joining Richmond, including a pair of goals in Mondays 8-0 romp over Port Moody. There is good reason for Petrowsky’s “win now” strategy. Richmond is hosting the Cyclone Taylor Cup junior “B” provincial championships in April and it’s proven to be quite the recruiting tool. By contrast, Delta’s roster has just three, 20-year-olds and feature a blueline with five rookies, including a couple of 17-year-olds.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Alan Mason in the early morning of January 19th. Alan is survived by his wife Deborah (Tanner) of 39 years, brother Raymond, son Robert, daughter in law Cherie, and grand daughters, Claire and Lauren. Alan is predeceased by his father Robert, mother Pearl, and sister Mavis. Alan was a kind and devoted individual that has and will continue to leave a lasting impact on all those that he touched. He will be deeply missed, though we wish to remember all the great memories and time we all spent together. To honour and celebrate Alan’s life, there will be a Memorial Service held on January 31st from 3pm to 5pm at the Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation in kind to the Delta Hospital Foundation.
VIRGL, Erine Michelle Erine was born on January 20, 1967 in Vancouver and passed away December 28, 2017 at Delta Hospital with her husband Greg at her side. She was predeceased by her mother, Lynne Barnes, and leaves to mourn her husband Gregory; children Lauren, Kaelyn, Andreas and Jordan; her father James Barnes and stepmother Angie; brothers Randal (Shannon), Jarrod and Ivor; nephews Heath and Noah; nieces Tatum, Charlene, Jesse, Tessa and Kaitlyn; and an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. Erine graduated from North Delta Secondary School in 1985 and continued her education at Langara College and the University of British Columbia. Along with being a wonderfully caring and loving mother, Erine balanced a career at Scotiabank that spanned 25 years. She met the love of her life Gregory prior to a diagnosis of cancer in 2015 and together they set out to make life positive and comfortable. The family wishes to thank each one of your kind thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. A special thank you to Dr. Melosky and Dr. Pavlovich at the BC Cancer Agency and all the wonderful nurses who cared for Erine. There will be a celebration of life for Erine on Monday, January 29 at 1 pm at St. Andrew’s United Church, 1044 St. George’s Avenue in North Vancouver with hospitality following in the Friendship Room.

HOCK, Lynne Constance (nee Whalen) It is with heartfelt sadness we announce the great loss of our mother on January 19, 2018 at Simon Fraser Lodge (Prince George) to a long battle with Huntington’s Disease. Lynne was survived by her 3 sisters, Grace, Pat, and Bonnie, and their families; and will be deeply missed by her daughters, Amy (Allan) and Andi (TJ); and grandchildren Clyde and Neelam. Lynne was fiercely independent and loved to spend her time travelling, dining, and with family. Born October 10th, 1949 she was employed by Worksafe BC since she was 19. A Celebration of Lynne’s life will be held in Prince George and the Lower Mainland at later dates. Please consider donating to the Huntington’s Society of BC, in lieu of flowers.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment. If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the: Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711 Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email: inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
