Wine war hits Westham Local winery is caught in the middle of B.C.-Alberta pipeline dispute 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

It’s grapevine versus pipeline as the B.C. wine industry faces significant economic losses following a ban on the export of wine to Alberta. The ban was put in place this week by Alberta Premier Rachel Notley who said her government would stop the import of B.C. wine. Her shot across the bow comes after B.C. Premier John Horgan said a public consultation was needed to consider restricting an increase in bitumen flow to B.C.’s coast in another attempt to prevent the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, a project the federal government has already approved. Caught in the middle of this battle of the grapes are wineries such as Westham Island’s Angel Estate Winery. Manager Errol Sherley said the ban will have negative impacts throughout the industry. “We are angry about it. It will have serious effects on our sales to Alberta,” Sherley said. “This is a government that doesn’t like small business it seems. It just hurts our bottom line.” He said with B.C. wines not available to Albertans, consumers will now turn to cheaper American brands. “It’s just going to hurt us in terms of our Canadian reputation and sales,” he said. “And with many consumers if they get the taste of other wines they will not come back to the good quality, wholesome wine that is

You

Industrial park application at edge of bog

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

Delta council has given preliminary approval for another property bordering Burns Bog to be turned into an industrial park. The latest proposal is to develop the 66-hectare (163acre) Pineland Peat site into several heavy-industrial lots. The property, which is not in the Agricultural Land Reserve, borders the south side of the Burns Bog conservancy area. The industrial park would be accessed from 88th Street and to facilitate two-way truck traffic the street would be widened. Also to mitigate traffic impacts, several other improvements are proposed, including a new interchange at Highway 99 and 78th Street. As far as impacts to the neighbouring bog, a Delta staff report notes the applicant is proposing a 30-metre (98foot) buffer along the north and west property lines. The buffers would be built by the applicant but later owned and managed by Delta. The Burns Bog Conservation Society has voiced opposition to the development, having launched a petition last fall asking the federal government to halt the Pineland Peat plan, as well as the 62-hectare (155-acre) MK Delta Lands development, which council already approved, on the north side of the bog. A public hearing will be scheduled.

‘Doc Davis’ remembered Well-known veterinarian set up his practice in Ladner back in 1945 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

He was a well-known local veterinarian who was part of the fabric of the community. Gordon Davis passed away last Friday at the age of 95. Known as a country veterinarian in the best, traditional way, “Doc Davis” cared for all kinds of animals over a great many years, eventually becoming an equine specialist. He was active in Kinsmen, K-40, Standardbred breeding and was a director of the B.C. Racing Commission. In a 2014 article in the Optimist, Davis fondly recalled his arrival in Ladner on May 24, 1945 after graduating from veterinary college in Guelph, Ontario. Delta was sorely in need of a large animal vet to service the 150 or so dairy herds as well as workhorses not yet replaced by tractors. Dr. Fred Ottewell, the local vet, had been suffering poor health for some time, so Davis was invited to set up his practice by the Ladner Farmers’ Institute. The date was well etched in Davis’ memory

Gordon “Doc” Davis died last Friday at the age of 95. Davis had a veterinary prctice in Ladner for more than 45 years. as it was on the same day he met Genevieve Webb, whom he married just over a year later. During his vet years

Davis was busy at all hours of the day, so busy, in fact, he had a reputation of tardiness in sending out his bill for services.

Davis, whom the late Optimist columnist Edgar Dunning wrote about often, related with wry humour that his retire-

ment in 1991 coincided with the introduction of the GST on Jan. 1, 1991. “No way was he going to collect tax for the federal government,” he said at the time. Delta farmer, city councillor and MLA Ian Paton recalls Davis as an imposing figure at six-foot-four, but also a gentle man. Paton said Davis, who was also the track vet at the Paterson Park harness track, was an important part of the community, adding that, once retired, Davis was a staple of “the coffee crowd” that would regularly get together in Ladner. Ian Paton’s brother, Dr. David Paton, also a veterinarian, said Davis’ surgical skill was like an artist. “Veterinarians would come from other parts of the Fraser Valley to watch Gordon perform a new surgical technique for correcting a twisted stomach in a cow. For us farm kids, Dr. Davis’ visit was always an event,” said Dr. David Paton. “Without any doubt, Dr. Davis was 100 per cent the reason behind my decision to become a veterinarian.” His wife of over 70 years passed away a couple of weeks ago.

Paton says NDP is trying to throw a bone to the Greens

CONTINUED from Page 1 Paton said the B.C. wine industry’s $2.8 billion economic impact is a significant driver of the province’s economy and more than 12,000 people

in every region of the province have jobs related to the industry. “I get it, the BC NDP are trying to throw a bone to the Greens after the premier reluctantly

approved Site C,” said Paton. “Unfortunately, this trade spat is simply a loselose for everyone. We have agricultural workers who are going to lose jobs and Albertans who are going to

lose out on our premium wine. British Columbians shouldn’t be in the crossfire of NDP governments fighting.” Notley has indicated that she could escalate

her stance against B.C. if the federal government does not intervene, while Horgan said there are bigger issues facing the province that need his attention.

A recent trade agreement between Canada and Europe could pay big dividends for a Delta company. The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is a pact between Canada, the European Union and its member states. The treaty eliminates 98 per cent of the tariffs between Canada and the EU. CETA came into effect last September. Zodiac Hurricane Technologies president and general manager Jean-Jacques Arignon said CETA now means his company does not have to deal with import or export duties any longer. “That will help Zodiac Hurricane import Zodiac inflatables from Europe and help export Zodiac Hurricane to Europe,” Arignon said. “This will be beneficial for Zodiac Hurricane and our Canadian customers as pricing will decrease.” Zodiac, which houses its manufacturing facility in the Tilbury Industrial Park, welcomed Kareen Rispal the ambassador of France to Canada, along with Philippe Sutter, the consul general of France in Vancouver, and Patrick Imbert, the deputy VP North America for Business France Canada, for a tour on Wednesday.

Sales of attached properties above historic averages

Condos, townhouses in demand 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

Housing market activity is clearly shifting to townhomes and condos. According to Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver statistics for January, detached sales were down 24.8 per cent from the 10-year January average, while attached sales increased 14.3 per cent and apartment sales were up 31.6 per cent over the same period. “Demand remains elevated and listings scarce in the attached and apartment markets across Metro Vancouver,” said board president Jill Oudil. “Buyers in the detached market are facing less competition and have much more selection to choose. For detached home sellers to be successful, it’s important to set prices that reflect today’s market trends.” According to the real estate board, the bench-

mark price for a detached single-family house in Ladner last month was $1,017,200, a slight decrease from the previous month and a 5.1 per cent increase over the past year. In Tsawwassen, the benchmark price was $1,261,800, also a slight decrease from the previous month and an 8.5 per cent increase over a year ago. Townhomes were a different story as the benchmark price in Ladner was $776,000, flat from the previous month but a 21.5 per cent increase in the last year. The benchmark price for a Tsawwassen townhouse was $763,300, up marginally over the month but a 22 per cent jump for the year. As far as condos, the benchmark in Ladner was $431,000 and in Tsawwassen it was $460,500, representing a 13.2 per cent and 13.6 per cent increase, respectively, for the year.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

he concept of having those who use our transportation system pay to improve it makes sense, but I wonder whether the political will exists to turn mobility pricing into reality in Greater Vancouver. An independent commission is studying a variety of options at the moment, but whether you call it mobility pricing or decongestion charges, the bottom line is that drivers will have to dig into their pockets for the privilege of getting behind the wheel, which could ultimately prove to be a tough sell. Right off the bat, the notion that you’ll start paying to use certain crossings or highways that are now free is unlikely to sit well with drivers who already feel overtaxed. And for this plan to work, enough commuters have to be so turned off by the new charges that they stop driving altogether, or at least at rush hour so the drive becomes smoother for those left behind. If I’m understanding this correctly, that means the plan will effectively create two groups of commuters: those who are pissed off to be paying a new charge to drive and those who are so pissed off they refuse (or can’t afford) to do so. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the kicker could well be that money raised through the new charges will be spent on projects that don’t benefit their daily commute in the slightest. OK, so perhaps I’m painting too gloomy a picture of an undertaking that’s supposed to ease congestion in the region, but if you were a politician would you want to campaign on a platform that charges commuters to travel routes they drive for free today? Probably not if you’re hoping to get elected. The one saving grace, and what the commission has hinted at, is the idea of not necessarily paying more, but paying differently, possibly through the reduction of an existing tax. Governments typically like to add taxes, not give up revenue streams, so it’s a stretch to think this initiative ends up revenue neutral for drivers, but something has to be sweetened or mobility pricing is going to get a rough ride. With congestion increasing and the transportation system struggling to cope, there’s definitely support out there for action, but mobility pricing won’t sell if the end user views it as nothing more than a cash grab.

Not sold on gov’t plan to add another bad habit to society

n follow-up to my last column where I called government our bookie, bootlegger and dealer, I would like to offer some comments on the legalization of marijuana. First, I must state that I’ve never smoked a cigarette or a joint so I’m not experienced in these habits. It’s obvious that for many years a good percentage of the population has smoked pot whether it was legal or not, but now that it will be legal, one has to assume it will be used by an ever-increasing number of people. It’s this acceptance and increase in users that concerns me. My greatest concern is for under age youth who will find it even easier than it is now to locate a supplier. Developing that habit will affect their life and maybe even start them down a more damaging path. Supporters of legalization say alcohol is just as damaging as the use of pot, and that might be a valid point, but why do we need to add another bad habit to our society when alcohol already causes enough damage and heartache? Colorado legalized pot and now has marijuana tourists from all over the world, but it also has increased medical and legal issues in the state. As well, neighbouring states where pot isn’t legal are suing Colorado because

Community Comment GREG HOOVER

of accidents, medical costs and other issues they are facing from pot purchased in Colorado. For me, the idea of driving on the road with people influenced by pot is very upsetting. Canadian society has worked hard for several years to reduce smoking as well as drinking and driving, for the better health and safety of all Canadians, and now with the stroke of a pen Canadians will return to smoking and driving under the influence. We operate a family construction company and WorkSafeBC gives us the responsibility for every aspect of site safety. What terrifies us is that a crane operator, steel rigger or heavy equipment operator goes to their parked car for lunch and comes back to work after smoking two joints. How are we supposed to prevent that? I’ve seen films of workers doing that in Alberta and

that situation increases the potential for damage, injury and death in a construction environment and many other industries. On Jan. 26, Gary Gibbons wrote in the Optimist that “there are many good reasons to take this useful and comparatively harmless herb out of the courts, off the streets, out of the hands of organized crime and, hopefully away from children.” Gibbons believes that legalization and giving distribution to the government will achieve all those positive things. I doubt that very much, and I base that on how the provincial government manages ICBC, BC Hydro, BC Lottery Corporation, TransLink, etc. The government’s record of good management is less than stellar. I also believe that organized crime will thrive under this arrangement because its costs will be lower than legal producers, and how is law enforcement to know if pot was bought from a government outlet? Gibbons states that he “hopes” legalization will keep pot away from children. That’s not good enough and very unlikely. My opinion: Canada is making a very big mistake by legalizing recreational marijuana so people can get a buzz. Greg Hoover is a project manager in industrial and commercial construction who has lived with Christina in Tsawwassen for 25 years.

government now add the report to their “Get All the Facts” campaign or will they just do the right thing and dismantle this specious political campaign, including the “we need a bridge” website and partner reader boards at the tunnel? Last week, I returned from a three-week trip to New Zealand, which included four days in Auckland. This beautiful coastal city of 1.4 million

just been completed and is scheduled for implementation early next year after planned road system upgrades. This tunnel is actually a pair of tunnels, 2.4 kilometres in length and part of a 48-kilometre ring system. The new tunnel connects two state highways and is designed as an alternative to a harbour bridge, connects the city to its north shore, relieves traffic congestion on other infra-

structure and preserves precious coastlines and land. Does all of this sound familiar? This tunnel system also has a fire sprinkler system capable of delivering 270 litres per second in the event of fire. Most significantly, Auckland’s newest addition to its traffic tunnel system cost $2.4 billion in New Zealand dollars (about $2.2 billion

Delta Hospice must revisit MAiD position

Editor: We have a wonderful facility in our Delta Hospice. During the time that a close friend was there I was able to witness the compassionate and expert care provided to those nearing the end of their lives, and their families, by both paid staff and volunteers. I disagree, however, with Delta Hospice’s stance on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Nobody is trying to force Delta Hospice to perform MAiD. In fact, Bill C-14

facility or home. In my friend’s case, home was a viable option as it was in the area and was suitable. We cannot assume that everyone will have such a comfortable home to go to, and no one should have to undergo a transfer all the way to New Westminster or to another facility. Safeguards are there; it is quite a thorough process with interviews and witnesses that could never be taken lightly. The process is a peaceful end to intolerable suffering.

quite clearly does not compel physicians, etc. to undertake this; it does, though, encourage them to refer patients to another physician who will and speaks to the importance of ensuring access. But Delta Hospice goes beyond this and will not permit MAiD, even by outside physicians, in its facility. This means that someone with a terminal condition and a “reasonably foreseeable” death will not be able to obtain this service without being transferred to another

Political options available to deal with air pollution

I don’t believe other residents and families would react badly to this happening in another room as there would be no need for them to even be aware of it. Delta Hospice gets almost half of its funding through government — and the provision of MAiD is now a clearly available option under Bill C-14. I believe Delta Hospice needs to revisit the decision to disallow what is now a legal right of all Canadians. Margaret Jensen

Editor: Re: Class action suit, letter to the editor, Jan. 31 As an East Ladner resident, I appreciate and share Stephen Holding’s frustration regarding the City of Delta’s and Metro Vancouver’s lack of response to the air pollution produced by EnviroSmart in East Ladner. However, before we think about going down the road to a class action lawsuit, perhaps we should take a deep breath and consider our other political options. We have an MLA in South Delta named Ian Paton who has an office in Ladner Village. He can be contacted regarding

Political leadership should be open to change

Editor: So newly elected Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson wants to keep our current voting system as is because “it has worked for the past 150 years.” But it hasn’t. Rather, the status quo has only served our main political parties well. They prefer it because they can target the undecided ridings and, when in power, can gerrymander

riding boundaries in their favour to get re-elected. Should we also keep the current system of male dominance and sexual harassment of women just because that’s worked for some for a long time? Or how about wealth distribution, wage disparity, education, health care? We have many areas where any political party can make huge changes

for British Columbians, but it takes a true leader of that party to see beyond the status quo and effect change that will actually make a difference. Saying it has worked well for 150 years is not a credo that any political party with a vision of the future should be using. Rather, let’s embrace and try change. What doesn’t hurt you makes you

stronger is a more relevant motto that all politicians should dare to adopt. It would be wonderful to see them publicly promote this referendum and not hide behind it weakly saying let’s not have change as we don’t know what will happen. Such political leadership is all too common and it’s way beyond time to change that. Gavin Wishart

Casino plagued by questions over criminal element

Editor: I have questions regarding the possible approval of a casino in Delta: Is there not enough evidence of obvious corruption attracted by casinos? Is

there not reason to believe drug monies and other illegal monies are laundered through casinos? Have vast amounts of laundered money found its way to the real estate

market? Who has had responsibility to prevent the above? Have they done their job? Will they do it in the future? What are the negative consequences of drugs,

corruption and money laundering relative to financial benefits that might accrue to Delta? Let Delta council know if you disapprove. Naomi Miller

Misspelled signs disrespectful to park’s namesake

Editor: If John Sullivan Deas were alive today, he’d probably be disappointed in the city he called home for seven years. Or maybe I’m wrong, and he wouldn’t care that the folks governing his former hometown have no idea how to spell his name. I know I’m disappointed. There are two signs on either end of the walkway and dike that run parallel to Deas Island Regional Park indicating to visitors they are navigating a portion of the Millennium Trail, and Deas Island Regional Park is just ahead. Except both of these signs spell it Dea’s. Yes, with an incorrectly added apostrophe. I had read in a 2012 column in this newspaper by Doug Husband that

Deas was a free black man who came to B.C. from California in 1862, motivated by the combined forces of legislative uncertainty in pre-Civil War times in the United States, and the lure of B.C.’s Fraser River gold fields. He started a prosperous fish cannery on Deas Island in 1871 before moving back to the U.S. in 1878. Seven of his 15 years in B.C. were spent in Delta; he became a citizen and a provincial voter. My wife, a former reporter and editor and now current grammar guru, has been complaining about these “Dea’s Island” signs for about three years now. She shared a photo of them once on Facebook, indicating her mortification and outrage. Unsurprisingly, the post did nothing to

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Deas Island Regional Park is named after John Sullivan Deas but his name is spelled incorrectly on signs leading to the park. fix the problem, although it generated a few angry emoticons. A year or so later, she

notified Metro Vancouver, which operates Deas Island Regional Park. Metro Vancouver advised

this was a Delta issue as the signs were on Delta’s property. So in July 2017, she dutifully reported it to the great void known as the “Talk to Delta” online system. She even uploaded a photo. Aside from an auto reply that her submission was received, there has been no other response. It’s now February 2018, which also happens to be Black History Month, and the two signs bearing the name of the free black man who has an island in Delta named after him remain unfixed, gathering moss and dirt to indicate the passing seasons. I recently found a 70-year-old commemorative plaque in a Lower Mainland antique store that used to belong on the wall of a segregation school in Texas before

American race laws changed and ended the separation of students by colour. I returned the plaque to the local school district in Texas, and witnessed the positive impact this small gesture had. One wonders if this misspelled sign, by demonstrating a lack of care and concern for the accurate portrayal of the free black man who is Deas Island’s namesake, has an opposite impact here in Delta. In history, it is just as important to make sure both facts and names are correct. That’s education. So, will the City of Delta please fix these signs? I’m certain Mayor Lois Jackson would approve the expenditure. Or is that Mayor Loi’s Jackson? Randy AndersonFennell

Hospital plan must include oral care Health takes back seat to casino

Editor: Re: Delta Hospital; Foundation broadens mandate, letter to the editor, Jan. 12 For the past 30 years, I have been providing a local on-call service (denturist) to our patients at Delta Hospital and to our residents at Mountain View Manor. I also strongly support Phase 2 of the master plan to replace Mountain View Manor. In 2013, I began to publicly advocate for a private room in which dental

practitioners, including dental hygienists and dentists, can better practice infection control. Treating our patients at bedside and in public areas is antiquated and compromises the safety of every resident, family member and visitor. Our long-term care residents also deserve to be treated with the high standard of care that our professional licencing colleges demand of us to provide to our patients within our own dental/hygiene/ denturist offices.

It is a serious oversight of the board of the Delta Hospital Foundation to not have been invited amongst “representatives of all our stakeholder groups, including service organizations,” blatantly ignoring the importance of oral health as a major component of care, and disrespectful to us who are passionate for the wellbeing of our patients. Conclusively, I will continue to petition the public sector for support, now more than ever. Carol R. LeVasseur DD

Editor: I wish to express my profound sadness and frustration to hear of the impending demolishment of the Delta Town & Country Inn tennis bubble, to be replaced with Gateway’s casino resort. I am both an active member of the tennis club and a nurse who has worked in healthcare for over 35 years. I have observed firsthand the value of how healthy activities contribute to the overall quality of life and significantly decrease the overall demand on the healthcare system. According to the Fraser Health Strategic Operations Plan (2017), a foundational princi-

ple of the Fraser Health Authority is “to promote health, wellness and prevention in our community.” In my opinion, replacing a highly-utilized recreational facility with a casino is completely contrary to a community goal of health and wellness. Current gaming legislation states that it is incumbent upon local government to seek community input before approving a proposal. In addition, representatives of Delta must identify any potential negative impact of a casino for the community, including mitigation strategies prior to the approval of a proposal. The loss of the indoor tennis courts will have

Hundreds of local players of all ages as well as the Wheelchair Tennis Association of BC now stand to lose an important recreational “home” and all the physical and social benefits that significantly contribute to the health of our great city.

Gearing up for busy legislative session MLA ready to talk pot regulations, agriculture review and tunnel replacement

MLA’s Report IAN PATON

The spring sitting of the legislature gets underway on Feb. 13, and this session will undoubtedly be a busy one for me and my colleagues with a number of big issues up for debate. As the federal government gets set to legalize cannabis, the NDP will unveil B.C.’s laws and regulations which our BC Liberal caucus will scrutinize. We’ll be taking a close look at the distribution model and a top priority will be ensuring that we keep marijuana out of the hands of children. Here in Delta, it concerns me that food pro-

duction in greenhouses and on our farmland risks being substituted with marijuana production. As such, I will be looking for additional measures to guarantee local food security in the budget. Speaking of agriculture, I will be very interested to see what comes out of the minister of agriculture’s advisory committee which is studying the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). I have already expressed my concerns that there are very few farmers on the NDP’s committee, as well as the fact that growing regions like the Cariboo-Chilcotin, Similkameen Valley and the Kootenays have been excluded entirely. Further, key groups, including ranchers, hay farmers, tree fruit growers, berry growers, vegetable growers and grape growers, are not represented on the committee. It’s my hope the committee hasn’t already made up its mind

a long-term vision which includes our often underserved communities south of the Fraser. Finally, our team will be working hard to fight the unfair referendum set up by the NDP and Greens that could change our electoral system. A switch from first past the post to proportional representation (PR) could have ter-

rible consequences for our unique community. Under a system of PR we could risk losing our direct representation in Victoria and as a result, lose our strong voice on South Delta’s unique issues and needs. It’s a privilege to serve as that strong voice, and I will keep pressing the issues that matter to you in 2018.

We are still waiting on the results of the NDP’s redundant review of this project. I will continue to put pressure on the minister of transportation to act quickly to clear up the

New executive director for Little House Recently arrived Debbi McKenzie also serving as substance abuse and addiction counsellor 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

There is a new face at the helm of the Little House Society in Tsawwassen. Debbi McKenzie was hired as the new substance abuse and addiction counsellor late last year and in January was also named executive director. McKenzie assumes this dual role after former executive director Elena Murgoci left the society at the end of last year to pursue other counselling and home-based business opportunities. McKenzie previously worked in an administrative role at the Avalon Recovery Centre in White Rock. “I met the president and the executive director at the time during an event in the fall and they expressed they were looking for a counsellor,” McKenzie recalled. “It was great to work with the women at Avalon, but

there was no counselling, so this became a great opportunity, a great fit.” McKenzie specializes in family addiction and support, providing counselling for individuals, couples and groups. “My life purpose is to help people struggling with substance abuse and their families face and uncover their issues and begin to heal. In doing so, I become a supportive place of refuge for them, assisting them to come out the other side,” she said. “It’s exciting for me to be able to offer help and support to families. Most of them feel that they would like to see their loved one achieve sobriety, but then they realize that they need support as well and that’s not an easy thing.” She said she became a counsellor due to personal experiences. “I was in a relationship with someone with an addiction,” she recalled. “When I went for help I found there was not a lot

visits recovery facilities and shares her story. “I know how powerful self-disclosure can be when done in a safe environment. Through my work as a registered

therapeutic counsellor, I demonstrate empathy, compassion and understanding for the clients I work with,” she said. “I’m thrilled to be here. Little House is so well known

and supported by this community.” Little House Society is a community non-profit group dedicated to promoting and advancing education related to substance use, abuse, addiction and recovery. McKenzie said she hopes to raise a greater awareness of the role of Little House, provide outreach, workshop opportunities and create better connections with the City of Delta, Delta School District, police and the Tsawwassen First Nation. One form of outreach is Heart of a Family, set for Saturday, Feb. 24, a oneday workshop for family members, caregivers or friends worried about someone’s substance abuse. Scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the $100 fee includes lunch and materials. Those interested can email debbi@littlehousesociety.ca or call 778-434-3119 to register. Little House is at 506112th Ave., Tsawwassen.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH CONGRATULATIONS

Shemar Dennison

Hi, my name is Shemar and I have been delivering the Delta Optimist for the last four years. The reason I started delivering the papers is that I wanted to have my own money and not having to ask my parents. I spent my first cheque on candy and video games but that is when I first started. Now I save my money because my parents encouraged me to open a bank account and it has shown me responsibility. So far I have almost two thousand dollars in my bank account. I like my customers because I get to see them all the time during the summer and they are always so nice to me when I come by to give them their paper.

Ladner Heritage Conservation Area Study Public Workshop You are invited to participate in a discussion about protecting Ladner’s heritage character into the future.

This photo shows people skating on the water reservoir near Peck Road (64th Avenue today) in North Delta sometime in the 1920s.

Watershed Park’s water served pioneer farmers

The Delta Museum and Archives Society has launched Our Delta Stories, a project that asks community members to share their favourite Delta story. 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 Nancy Demwell, a board member with the Delta Museum and Archives Society: In 1910, what is now Watershed Park was called the North Delta Uplands. Its artesian springs became a major source of water for Ladner and properties south of what is now Kittson Parkway until water was routed across the Fraser from the Seymour watershed in North Vancouver. Artesian springs arise when groundwater beneath a heavy layer of

clay and gravel bubbles up to the surface under pressure. Filtered through the layers of clay, and gravel above, it is the purest of water — among the best in the world. In 1910, Ladner had a thriving dairy and agricultural industry hindered by local wells drying up in the summer. The solution was to drill wells at the southern slope of the North Delta Uplands, construct a pump house to pump the water up hill to a reservoir and then let gravity carry the water 15 kilometres to Ladner through wooden stave piping. The reservoir was even used in the winter months as a skating rink. The area was cleared, and by 1920 the North Delta Uplands had been logged of its primarygrowth forest, including 45-metre redwoods. Their stumps can

still be found in today’s Watershed Park. For decades onward, the scrub land sheltered deer and bear, which were hunted by local farmers. Today, Watershed Park has a secondary-growth forest and has many trails enjoyed by hikers, mountain bikers and horse riders. The artesian well water is no longer exported to Ladner, but it still supplies about two per cent of Delta’s water supply, primarily to homes south of 64th Avenue. This would have cost Delta residents $350,000 per year if similar amounts were purchased from Metro Vancouver water systems. The wells also provide an emergency water source for Delta in case of an earthquake or other events that might interrupt our Metro Vancouver water source.

Following Council’s adoption of a new Heritage Strategy, a study of heritage conservation areas in Ladner was initiated. The study is to explore the possibility of expanding or adding to existing heritage conservation areas in Ladner. Heritage conservation areas are intended to protect existing heritage landmarks and landscapes, encourage preservation and restoration of heritage buildings or structures, and ensure that new development is sensitive to the heritage context. The session will be an opportunity to discuss these issues, as well as how heritage property owners might benefit for their added responsibilities as heritage stewards.

Inclusive craft day at Ladner Baptist

Red Nose volunteers celebrate another season

For the fifth straight year, Ladner Baptist Church is hosting its annual Family Fun Craft Day. Set for Saturday, Feb. 17 from 1 to 4 p.m., the free event will feature craft tables, a gym activity, a communal art project and lots of goodies. Ladner Baptist’s Connect Ministry supports individuals and families with children who have diverse medical, developmental, emotional and physical abilities. The program provides assistance to parents and children who attend church services, delivers educational and training sessions to both the congregation, Sunday school teachers, the public, and to youth and young adults who work as class support workers. This is the same ministry that offers the Halloween Connect Carnival in October where activities are tailored to be accessible to a range of needs.

Volunteers from Operation Red Nose 2017 wrapped up another season at a recent appreciation dinner.

Deltassist volunteers offering help to file tax returns Tax season is just around the corner, and volunteers at Deltassist Family & Community Services are available to prepare income tax returns for low-income Delta residents. Many people do not know they need to file a tax return in order to receive the GST/HST

tax credit or the Canada Child Tax Benefit. Filing a tax return on time is important when receiving other benefits such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors, MSP Premium Assistance and Pharmacare. If you live in Delta, are on low income, and either unable to complete your

income tax and benefit return yourself or pay for assistance, Deltassist volunteers can help. Volunteers receive training through Canada Revenue Agency’s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program and are able to complete tax returns for 2017 as well as 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Beginning Tuesday, Feb. 13, South Delta residents can call 604-946-9526 to book an appointment at Deltassist’s Ladner office and North Delta residents can call 604-594-3455 to book an appointment in the North Delta office. For more information, call 604-946-9526 or email colleend@deltaassist.com.

Both of these events have been well received and serve as a welcomed break from the day-today challenges families of children with different needs face: multiple medical appointments, hospital stays, medical procedures, behavioral challenges as well as balancing family dynamics. Programs like the Family Fun Craft Day provide local families with much needed support and complements the vast array of community programs and organizations in Delta. Attendance has increased year after year, indicating the need to look beyond the individual(s) with diverse needs and include a more holistic approach to strengthening social relationships by involving siblings, grandparents, friends and other caregivers. Not only is this event geared towards those of different abilities, families find it is a time to connect with other families and make new friends.

extremes, but we know this happens all too easily. What is the solution? We know there is no silver bullet that doesn’t sound trite or unrealistic. There are, however, opportunities to create those quiet moments in time. The season of Lent we enter this coming Wednesday is such a time, to purposefully practice the discipline of setting time aside to reflect and pray. It is a way to daily prepare our spiritual life to listen deeply and walk in tune with God’s Spirit. It is an opportunity to receive those quiet moments in time as a gift of God’s Amazing Grace. “Be still and Know that I am God.” Psalm 46: 10.

I walked out of my house this morning and was met by the crisp air, brilliant blue sky with some feathery clouds, a white crescent moon and some distant sounds of a crow and seagull calling me into the new day. It was oddly quiet. No cars driving by or kids or activity. Just a quiet moment in time. How often does this happen in our world driven by activity, busyness and pressing expectations? Then as I was driving to the church to begin my full day, I was listening to the radio and the conversation regarding the dynamics of stress that we live with daily. Constant stress wears away at us; breaking

Celso Machado in Ladner

Guitarist, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist & composer to perform at Genesis 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

elso Machado comes from a family of musicians. He recalls being a young boy back in Brazil and getting caught playing one of his brothers’ guitars. “I thought he was going to give me a hard time, but he looked very impressed,” says Machado, who now lives in Gibsons. The guitarist, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and composer has put together a four-decade career and will be coming to Ladner this month for a solo concert. While his website lists 2007’s Jogo da Vida as his last album, he’s been working on a new release and is planning to have it finished by spring. He’s recording on his own and doing his own mastering. He’s also been working on a new technique on the guitar, blending in sounds from the kora, a string instrument from Africa. “I discovered I could reproduce some of the sounds of the kora on the guitar,” he says. Machado says this will be his first concert of 2018 and that he’s excited to perform in Ladner. “I’ve got a lot of new things I’m going to show to the audience.” He “transports his audiences through the richness and diversity of Brazilian music and beyond,” his website notes. He has won a Leo Award for Best Score for Documentary and a Canadian Folk Music Award for World Solo

DCMS show in Tsaw. to feature romantic tunes An evening of romantic music is in the cards at Petra’s by L’Aromas thanks to the Delta Community Music School tomorrow night. Faculty from the local school along with special guests Infinitus, a string trio featuring John Littlejohn (violin), Anthony Cheung (viola) and Alex Cheung (cello), will be performing. Also

featured are Natasha D’Agostino (jazz vocals), Stephen Robb (piano), Sejal Lai (jazz violin and vocals) and DCMS student Monica Tamm (voice). The evening will be a program in three sets of music, jazz standards and music from the Great American Songbook, as well as works by Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla and other

original music. The music school has been a part of the community since 1983 and brings together dedicated musician-teachers to Delta to train and nurture local music. This event’s purpose is to raise funds for student bursaries and outreach summer programs. The Thrive City Junior String Boot Camp has been held at the school

since 2011 and in the past few years has expanded to an overnight intensive, participation-by-audition Boot Camp. As of this year, this camp will be tuition free so young people who could not ordinarily afford the opportunity are now able to immerse in music and grow. The South Delta Jazz Festival is also a significant part of the school’s sum-

mer and all ages take part in the jazz camp. Tickets to tomorrow night’s event are $20 and include a beverage (specialty coffee, beer or wine).

Angus Stuyt was “really surprised” to find out his short film was named Best Picture at last month’s Young Moviemakers red carpet gala. The 10-year-old acted in Midnight Man, a scary short made with a group of five others at a Young Moviemakers film camp.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Stuyt, who’s in Grade 5 at Cliff Drive Elementary. Stuyt said he also did some editing and sound work on the project. “We chose the film as the winner this year not only for its high production quality and performances but also for the work done by the production team behind the camera,” said Young

Lockwood bringing night of jazz music to Tsawwassen

Ben Lockwood is returning to the Tsawwassen Arts Centre for another night of jazz music next Friday. His quartet will include piano player Sharon Minemoto as a special guest.

HawksopenPJHLplayoffsTuesday PJHL regular season champions host Grandview Steelers back-to-back nights MARK BOOTH

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

Steve Robinson must feel like he is in high school again. A few days of studying to figure out a five-month course before writing finals. The Delta Ice Hawks’ new head coach says his boys will be ready when the Pacific Junior Hockey League playoffs begin Tuesday night (7:35 p.m.) with a best-ofseven quarter-final series against the Grandview Steelers. Game two will also take place in Ladner on Wednesday (8 p.m.) before the teams head to Burnaby for games three and four next weekend. The Hawks completed their best campaign in franchise history with a 9-2 romp over Port Moody. They also accepted their league banner as regular season champions thanks to 37-4-0-3 record. Yet, it will mean little if the success can’t be duplicated in the playoffs. The Steelers finished over

20 points back of Delta in the final standings but have won the last two meetings. They also are among the top six teams in the PJHL that were victims of the ultra competitive Tom Shaw Conference. It adds up to what could be a tight opening round match-up and it’s Robinson’s job to make sure that doesn’t happen. The former Richmond Sockeyes coach was handed the reigns by Darren Naylor two weeks ago to get the Hawks back firing on all cylinders. He guided the team to an impressive 4-1 win over Richmond before a couple of disinterested performances in road losses to Port Moody (4-2) and the Steelers (2-1). Never before has Robinson been in a situation where he has taken over a team at this stage of the season, never mind one that has been so successful. It means a bit of a juggling act for the Tsawwassen resident.

Steve Robinson “Based on what I saw (last) Tuesday and knowing the talent level here I think we will be okay. The guys will be dialled in and ready to go (Tuesday) and I can’t wait to get it started. “There is a balance right now

of retaining Darren’s path to give them some continuity but also look into some different things when I can. I don’t want to come in here at the 11th hour and change too much where that becomes a situation and they are unsettled. It’s just trying to make some little tweaks and subtle reads into the game that will keep them playing more uptempo.” Robinson’s is not only relying on his observations over the past two weeks but his days of recruiting many of these players, as well as his time with Richmond. “I said to them ‘Trust me. When you guys play your best hockey you are playing quick.’ They are a fast skating team and that mobility is their strength.” The Hawks won’t have leading scorer Jordan Deyrmenjian for the series opener. He will be concluding a four-game suspension for a head contact hit as a call-up player with the BCHL’s Nanaimo Clippers.

Delta Wild hosting charity game on Sunday IAN JACQUES

This Sunday (Feb. 11) will be a fun afternoon of hockey and fundraising for a special cause at Planet Ice in North Delta. The Delta Wild prep female team will square off against the Vancouver Comets Midget AAA team in an exhibition game to raise awareness and money for Meagan’s Walk, which funds brain cancer research at Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital. Face-off is set for 12:45 p.m. The game is of great significance to South Delta’s Macy Young and her Wild teammates. “Last January my eight-year-old cousin Nora was diagnosed with DIPG, an incurable childhood brain cancer,” said Young. “Unfortunately we lost her this past November. It’s something for her and something very close to me and my family. With the support of my team and coaches, we just wanted to do something this year.” Young said Nora lived in Toronto, so Megan’s Walk was huge for her family out there when they were getting treatment. Admission to the game is free, but those attending will be given a grey ribbon to pin on their jacket and a free puck toss for prizes between periods. There will also be a silent auction for some fantastic items that can be bid on to raise more money for this cause. Items already donated include: an autographed women’s national

Donations to the Meagan’s Walk Foundation can be made in Nora’s name by going to www. sickkidsdonations.com, then clicking on the ‘Donate’ button and completing the form. Any amount will be appreciated. Income tax receipts will be emailed for donations of $20plus. Donations can also be made at the game

by completing a pledge form, which will also generate a tax receipt. So far more than $10,000 has been donated in Nora’s memory. “Thank you so much to everyone that has donated, and supported the Delta Wild Brain Cancer Research fundraiser game,” added Young. “Thank you also to everyone who has taken the time to learn what a wonderful person my cousin Nora was, and about the horrible disease she suffered.”

OLSON (Parsons), Dorothy October 25, 1931 - January 24, 2018 A celebration of her life will be held @ Odd Fellows Hall, 5425 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta on Sunday March 18th 1 - 4pm.

GELLERMANN, Christel November 27, 1929 - January 31, 2018 Christel was born November 27, 1929 in Dortmund, Germany, the youngest of six sisters. She was a kind, caring and cheerful person. She married Heinz Gellermann in 1955 and they soon emigrated to Vancouver by ship and rail. Christel worked in restaurants and camp kitchens and for a short time ran a restaurant with Heinz. Later they opened a flying school in Vancouver and owned a number of airplanes. Their love of nature led them to settle in Harrison Hot Springs, where Heinz died several years ago at the age of 90. Christel stayed in Harrison and met up with her second partner, Gunter, returning to Vancouver on his passing. She spent the last three years of her life well-cared for and happy at Delta View Campus of Care. Christel passed peacefully in her sleep on January 31st.

Helen passed away at Delta Hospital at the age of 94. She often said, “I’ve lived a long and rich life, so don’t be sad when it’s my time to pass.” Helen had a wonderful sense of humour. There was nothing quite like a visit with her to infuse some wisdom, compassion, and a few good chuckles into our day. Helen grew up in B.C. coastal communities, including Ocean Falls and Prince Rupert, but spent most of her life in Hammond and Haney, (Maple Ridge) where she met and married her high school sweetheart, James (Bud) DeWolf. Bud served as a flight instructor with the RCAF during the war and Helen joined him after their wedding in 1944. When the war ended, they returned to Hammond and then Haney, where they raised their family. In 1967 they moved to Princeton B.C., when Bud was asked to manage the Overwaitea store there. Helen volunteered as a teachers’ assistant at the elementary school in Princeton. After Bud passed in 1985, Helen moved back to the west coast, to Tsawwassen, to be closer to her sister and best friend, Doris and her husband, Mike Wasylyk. She also enjoyed being closer to the beach, her favourite place. She will be truly missed and fondly remembered by her daughters Marnie and Carol; son Lorne; seven grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews; their spouses; and her dear friends, including those at Kinvillage Assisted Living and Benediction Lutheran Church. The family conveys its gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Delta Hospital; her physician, Dr. C. Lee, the staff and workers at Kinvillage, and Pastor Thomas. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 24, at 2:00pm, at Benediction Lutheran Church, 5575 - 6th Ave. at 56th St., Tsawwassen, B.C. In lieu of flowers, any small act of kindness, done in honour of her and her many kindnesses, will suffice.
