Paxton tosses no-hitter over Jays

Ladner southpaw becomes second Canadian to accomplish the feat MARK BOOTH IAN JACQUES It was a big night for the Big Maple.

Ladner’s James Paxton became just the second Canadian-born pitcher in Major League Baseball history, and the first in more than 70 years, to throw a no-hitter.

The 29-year-old Seattle Mariners southpaw shutout the Blue Jays 5-0 at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

“It’s very special. Of all places to do it in Toronto - it is pretty amazing,” Paxton said in a postgame on-field interview with Mariners broadcaster Root Sports. “The fans were great.

They were tough on me, but once I got past the seventh inning, they started cheering me on, which was amazing.”

The Delta Secondary graduate needed 99 pitches, striking out seven and walking three.

He received some outstanding support behind him, including a diving catch by centerfielder Dee

Gordon in the fourth and a diving stop by third baseman Kyle Seager that robbed Kevin Pillar of a sure double in the seventh.

“What a defence tonight.

Those guys were amazing. They were making every play,” Paxton said. “I made some good pitches, got lucky a couple of times. It was our night.”

Paxton said he started realizing he was tossing the “no-no” in the sixth inning.

“I looked up at the scoreboard and realized what was happening, so then it was just focusing on my pitches, getting ahead of guys, getting into two-strike counts and putting them away,” he said.

“It was one of those nights where the balls that were hit hard went right to guys and then we just had some other amazing plays from the guys.”

Paxton’s previous start saw him record a career-high 16 strikeouts against Oakland.

The only other Canadian to throw a no-hitter was Dick Fowler in 1945.

Possible indoor sports facility would include more than tennis SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s looking like there could be a new indoor Delta sports facility that caters to more than just tennis, but the cost and who’s

willing to contribute are big question marks.

Near the end of the two-day public hearing on the Gateway casino proposal last week, parks, recreation and culture director Ken Kuntz offered a glim-

mer of hope to members of a private club at the Delta Town & Country Inn’s tennis bubble who would be displaced, saying discussions began behind the scenes to find a solution. Those discussions involved other

groups as well.

Short on details, and saying it was still early in the process, he noted other seasonal sports are now becoming year-round and would like an indoor facility.

As far as what’s being

explored, Kuntz told the Optimist this week the option that has a good chance of moving forward would be a facility for multiple sports, not just tennis.

Kids get off the sidelines

KidSport Delta helping those who can’t afford the cost of organized sports 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

Every child should have the chance to be involved in sports.

And thanks to the recent KidSport Delta gala, many who were not financially able to participate will now get that opportunity.

With a little more than $90,000 raised by the close to 300 in attendance at the gala at Tsawwassen Springs, more grants will soon be in the hands of families in Delta.

“The gala was a huge success. This is an amazing community that supports so much,” said KidSport Delta chair Carlene Lewall.

KidSport was established by Sport BC in 1993 while KidSport Delta was formed in 2010 after a boost in sport from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. It began giving out grants for sport registration fees in 2012.

Money is raised locally thanks to generous partners, sponsors and donors.

“The gala, which has happened now for three years, just keeps getting bigger and better,” said Lewall. “By April last year we had 16 applications.

This year I’m at 64, so families are getting the

Sports celebrities helped raise more than $90,000 at the recent KidSport Delta gala in Tsawwassen. message that KidSport is a viable financial option to get kids into sport.”

KidSport Delta believes financial challenges shouldn’t prevent any child from playing sports.

“We want to get kids into sports. It keeps an active, healthy lifestyle,” said Lewall. “Whether it is organized sport or whether it is recreation, sport is just the means, so if they get in there and they like that sport there is more of a tendency to pick up a softball or a soccer

ball and play after school or play with their friends because they have some skills.

“It’s sport skills that help life skills and we need that.

If we have healthy and active kids we are going to have less problems with depression and mental health — it is a known fact.

There is so much being spent on fixing problems — let’s get into the prevention mode. This is only one way, but it can be a big way.”

Lewall said in order

to qualify for a KidSport grant, the sport must have a provincial organization, which would include soccer, baseball, football, gymnastics, hockey, swimming, basketball and more.

Application forms can be downloaded from www.kidsportcanada.ca/ delta. Anyone can sponsor the child as it does not have to be the parent.

Financial records do not have to be submitted, only a signature by a financial adjudicator or a profes-

sional that knows the child and family.

“Most of us grew up playing sports and playing outside for hours, but it is a different culture. You just don’t see that anymore,” Lewall said. “I really believe in physical activity and sports is a means to getting that so the more kids we can get involved in sport, the better off our communities will be.”

For more information, email kidsportdelta@ gmail.com or call 604-9430469.

Greater chance for success if multiple sports involved

CONTINUED from Page 1 “I’ll continue to say that there’s a much greater chance of us bringing something to life that involves more than just tennis. Certainly, the kind of playing surface that accommodates tennis can accommodate pickleball, it can accommodate basketball, it can accommodate a variety of sports,

and to serve a broader segment of the community always gives a project a greater chance of success,” he said.

A recent staff report to Delta council on the Delta Town & Country Inn’s indoor tennis facility notes the newly formed group of tennis clubs called DeltaTennis.org asked the city to undertake

full responsibility for the replacement of the private indoor facility. Noting paying entirely for such a project is not in keeping with Delta’s policies and practices, and that Gateway has confirmed it’s not providing a community amenity contribution, the report explains that a preliminary opinion from a consulting engineer on

the cost of an indoor tennis facility would be in the $5 million to $8 million range.

Kuntz said the figures in the staff report were reasonable assumptions, adding a multi-use facility would be an “expensive undertaking” as well.

The staff report notes a number of community projects were implement-

ed on a cost-sharing basis, including the Delta Sport Development Centre that got a $1.2 million contribution from the Delta Gymnastics Society.

Kuntz said other options still on the table include relocating the tennis bubble to public or private property. Moving it to cityowned land has an array of challenges, he added.

Foundation, Auxiliary fund telemetry unit Patients with life-threatening cardiac conditions can now be monitored on medical floor

The Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation and the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society have teamed up to fund the medical equipment for the new telemetry capacity on the second floor at Delta Hospital.

The total cost for this addition to the hospital will be $26,500 for each organization, totalling $53,000.

“The medical staff at Delta Hospital overwhelmingly support the creation of the new telemetry capacity as it will improve the care for acutely ill medical and surgical patients,” says Dr. Robert Shaw, head of internal medicine at Delta Hospital.

“Adapting a space on the medical floor that’s suitable for the telemetry monitoring will not only free up capacity in the emergency department but will also ensure admitted patients requiring cardiac monitoring will be cared for in an environment that will afford them increased privacy, dignity and respect.”

Telemetry units at hospitals are used to monitor patients with life-threatening cardiac conditions.

Up to now, those patients

were supported within the ER. “By moving telemetry services within a medicine unit at Delta Hospital,

our community will have access to an even greater level of care,” says Yvonne Chard, president of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary

Society.

“We’re happy to help fund it, in partnership with Delta Hospital and Community Health

Foundation, and make the idea a reality.”

Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation and the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society often share the funding of important hospital initiatives.

Delta Auxiliary Society raises funds through its thrift store in Ladner Village and the hospital gift shop, both run by volunteers.

Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Delta Hospital and raises funds solely through charitable giving.

While these two organizations differ in how they raise funds, their goal, to support Delta Hospital’s priority needs, is the same.

“Our partnership ensures our community has the best healthcare possible, close to home,” says Lisa Hoglund, executive director of the foundation. “We are proud to be part of this community that always comes together for the good of the whole.”

DPD plan sets out goals for community safety

Traffic, drugs and property crime are key issues IAN JACQUES

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

The Delta Police Department has developed a strategic plan that will help guide the organization over the next five years.

Police Chief Neil Dubord, who presented the plan to Delta council last Monday night, said it is built around three objectives: building safe communities, building relationships and building capacity for its members.

He said during development of the plan the DPD reached out to community partners, its own officers and staff, and the community to determine the biggest public safety issues and the biggest challenges facing policing.

Public surveys and social media outreach were also undertaken to engage directly with the community.

Dubord said DPD partners wanted to see increased police engagement, sense of ownership and visibility. Department members said more training, development, succession planning and wellness were areas they wanted to see improved while the community sees traffic and pedestrian safety, drug issues and property crime as key public safety issues.

“Based on this we developed our three objectives and we put everything through a risk assessment tool to validate what we were hearing,” said Dubord. “We found that we had three goals around community safety which is to prevent crime and disorder, protect the vulnerable both young and old and reduce the harm on our roads. Under each of these goals we will have

Chief Neil Dubord says the police department wants to develop partnerships in the community. initiatives that our officers are undertaking.”

In terms of building relationships, Dubord said the DPD will continue to be more proactive in engaging with the public, which could mean initiatives like visiting elementary schools to officers getting out of their vehicles to engage with everyday citizens.

“We want to develop partnerships. It is an incredible piece of what we do because we can’t solve some of these problems alone, whether it is mental health or the drug crisis, we have to have community partners involved,” he said.

“Internally we need to continue to develop our people. Technology is ever-changing, so we have to continue to give our officers the tools they need to be effective at what they do. We also need to communicate better both internally and externally.

We will continue to utilize social media to share information inside and outside of our organization.”

Dubord said an external reporting mechanism will be put in place that will look at how the depart-

ment is doing in achieving the goals of the strategic plan and will report those findings three times a year to the Delta police board.

“It’s important that we are held accountable for our actions,” he said. “For our employees to continue to develop and grow within the organization, it’s important that we look at how we continue to hold ourselves accountable.”

Delta police have issued a composite sketch of a suspect believed responsible for a sex assault in North Delta’s Sunbury Park in early April.

The Sunbury community was updated on the police investigation at a community meeting Wednesday night.

The assault occurred between 12:30 and 1 a.m. on April 12 near Sunbury Hall.

According to police, the victim left a friend who drove off in a vehicle, and the victim then followed the path through the park. The victim was approached from behind, forced to the ground and sexually assaulted.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 35 years old, 5’10” with short brown hair, a full beard and a thin looking face.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

n the wake of last week’s decision by Delta council to approve a casino in Ladner, there have been calls to put the issue to a referendum and warnings that politicians who voted in favour will face the wrath of voters this fall.

These claims are made because those making them believe they represent the majority opinion, that putting a casino complex at the Delta Town & Country Inn site is not in keeping with community values. Based on the number of people who spoke and on the applause after said speakers, there’s little doubt there were more casino opponents than supporters at last week’s public hearing at the Ladner Community Centre, but does that mean more Deltans oppose the project than support it? How do you quantify the more than 99 per cent of residents who didn’t make their voices heard?

I know, I know, you can only count those who show up, whether it’s at a public meeting or a polling station, but does a relatively small but vocal group represent the wishes of the population as a whole? As it is with most things, the bigger the sample size, the more confident you can be in making that determination.

Many times over the years I’ve heard similar claims about council ignoring the wishes of the majority and how those politicians would feel the repercussions at the ballot box, yet despite a long list of contentious decisions, only two sitting council members in the last 25 years have lost their seats, and at least one of those instances had absolutely nothing to do with the councillor’s voting record.

Given only about one-third of eligible voters actually cast a ballot in a civic election, you’d think it wouldn’t be that difficult to toss those who are not providing adequate representation as you’d only need to get half of that onethird to vote a certain way, which if my math is correct, means just 17 per cent of voters could make it happen.

Yet you have to go all the way back to 1990 to find an instance where council’s actions resulted in wholesale changes.

Since that time the same council members, by and large, continue to get elected, change only coming when someone retires.

Who knows, maybe this fall will be different and there will be fallout from the casino decision. I just wouldn’t bet on it.

Council members fall victim to blinders, carrot and stick

D

elta council heard our community’s strong opposition to the Gateway casino proposal over two nights last week. Where a reasonable individual may have wanted some time to reflect on the 100 speakers and innumerable written submissions, council burned the midnight oil and immediately convened a private meeting to push through approval of the project.

From my vantage at the back of the room (and with the exception of speakers from Shato, Gateway and the B.C. Lottery Corporation), it was obvious that our community came out in force to tell our politicians this is not the direction we want Delta to go.

Thankfully, councillors Heather King and Jeannie Kanakos were willing to listen and voted in opposition. Unfortunately, the four who voted in favour fell victim to blinders, a carrot and a stick.

The blinders attempted to shift focus away from the endless societal costs of gambling. Police Chief Neil Dubord and a vice president of BCLC put a nice veil over the risks of crime and money laundering. The idea that criminal activity will not be tolerated by the BCLC is a little rich considering it was the one overseeing the very casinos currently under

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

ongoing investigation into money laundering.

The carrot was presented with the $1.5 million to $3 million annual cash injection the city would receive from casino revenues. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that a lot of good would be done with that money, however, to put things in perspective, Delta is considering an indoor tennis facility that could cost up to $8 million to replace the one being demolished by the casino.

As a result, this kind of expense seems like little more than a subsidy to appease dissenting voices on behalf of the proponent. While the tennis players like Delta’s future mayor Kip Barlow will be happy with the development, the question remains: What is Delta’s price tag?

The stick, of course, is the

threat the Tsawwassen First Nation will get the casino if Delta rejects it, which will leave behind all the same problems without any of the benefits. This is, of course, a red herring, ignoring the fact the TFN has already been passed over as a potential site.

Even though this is a possibility, the fact remains the citizens of Delta spoke and our council was unable to listen.

It is a story that we have heard before. One way or another, at the end of these very rushed deliberations, three councillors and the mayor were won over by a well-constructed strategy from a developer with deep pockets.

PS: If Delta, BCLC, Attorney General David Eby or the provincial government want to eliminate money laundering in casinos, just prohibit cash transactions on the premises. Requiring every transaction to be attached to a registered bank account would allow regulators to instantly flag suspicious activity and prevent malicious behaviour.

The bottom line is this: If you don’t want to receive duffle bags full of cash, don’t accept them as payment.

Community advocate Nicholas Wong ran as an independent candidate in Delta South in last year’s provincial election. He finished second with more than 6,400 votes.

Letters

Pair of councillors thanked for voting against casino

Editor: Thank you councillors Jeannie Kanakos and Heather King for listening to the residents and voters of Ladner and Delta on the casino application. I will be able to put an X by each of your names this fall.

To the rest of you — Mayor Lois Jackson and councillors Robert Campbell, Sylvia Bishop and Bruce McDonald — I know some of you aren’t running this year so you don’t care anyway.

I was very disappointed in how the hearings were run, particularly not making speakers state their address and/or conflict of interest and/or affiliation

with Gateway, B.C. Lottery Corporation or Ron Toigorelated businesses.

Dale Saip was the first speaker and obviously has a conflict as Toigo is his long-time boss. Many speakers who spoke in favour seemed to be saying robotic repetitive statements that were seemingly given to them with talking points. Many didn’t even live here.

We don’t need more service/retail level jobs here. Do you not know that many local businesses cannot find enough staff already? Cleaning hotel rooms and restaurant jobs are not going to be a great boon to our community.

The vast majority of the speakers/attendees on both very long nights of the hearing were against the proposal. I hope the elected officials realize that such dedicated citizens are extremely likely to vote and to know who to vote for.

I am very disappointed that Ladner will be home to a casino, a known crime hub. Ladner is a wonderful place, a very rare thing these days. It’s a real community.

Thank you to the more the 100 citizens who took the time to come out and listen and speak on this issue.

Council must revisit casino decision

Editor: How can four people on Delta council approve the building of a casino with the knowledge that local casinos follow the “Vancouver Model” known to law enforcement agencies around the world for the use of drug money and money laundering?

The “Vancouver Model” is alive and doing well just down the street in Richmond. Why? Because it has been allowed to function. Responsible policing agencies appear to have failed.

Why will Delta be different?

I do not think a financial contribution to Delta from this project should equal approval. Some money is not worth having.

Another project approved despite public opposition

Editor: Delta council approved the Gateway casino last week, dismissing public concerns about casinos and crime. Within days, the Province announced the RCMP has appointed a financial crimes specialist, prompted largely by suspected money-laundering at the River Rock Casino Resort.

Whose side is council on, anyway?

The Southlands and Gateway developments were both approved in the developers’ favour against vehement public opposition. Perhaps a judicial enquiry into the relationship between developers and the current Delta council would prop up the sagging faith of the electorate.

Tsawwassen needs cohesive theme

Editor: Re: Delta to come up with new sign to welcome folks to Tsawwassen, May 9 In response to the article regarding replacement of welcome to Tsawwassen signage, this will be a welcome change to the diminutive one currently in place.

It would also be nice for the city to develop a cohesive theme that defines future development for

Tsawwassen. It seems like there is currently a hodgepodge of design that does not reflect our beachy, sunny marine community.

For example, the relatively new street lights lining 56th Street are beautiful, but terribly out of place here. Would a marine type of design not have been a better fit? Too late now, I guess, but I think some dialogue with a respected and capable

design consultant would be money well spent so we’re not replacing signs again in a few years.

Hopefully the new Town Centre Mall will also reflect that same theme.

Ladner and Steveston have it right while Tsawwassen is in transition and needs some really solid design guidance to develop its current and future identity.

Team at Ladner Pharmasave to the rescue

Editor: On Friday, April 13 I fell and was seriously injured at the Pharmasave in Ladner.

The pharmacist/store manager and staff did everything to make me as

comfortable as possible while we waited for the ambulance.

They phoned my family and helped while firefighters stabilized me.

The care I experienced by the Pharmasave

team reminded me why I chose to move to Ladner 25 years ago.

I am thankful to one and all who helped me cope during a very painful experience.

Say hello to Boscoe

Boscoe is an adorable eight year old, male Min Pin mix around 15 lbs. He’s a affectionate little chap, very snuggly, and has kisses for everyone! He’s still working on house training, but has mastered leash walking and sallies forth with great enthusiasm! Luckily he is extremely smart and very easy to train with food rewards. Boscoe has a basic sit and is learning not to beg when people are eating.

He is very alert and appreciates lots of touch and reassurance. He sometimes hides a treat in the sofa cushions and checks on it until it’s time to devour it. Boscoe adores car rides with his nose out of the window. Someone who is active or even willing to train him in agility would be perfect. He gets along great with big and small dogs. As with all our dogs, he is neutered and up to date on all shots and vaccines. If you think Boscoe could be a good fit for you and vice versa, email us at pbandchi@gmail.com

There were a lot of happy faces last Wednesday as McHappy Day at South Delta McDonald’s restaurants raised more than $10,000 to benefit children with special needs at Reach Child and Youth Development Centre.

Sales of Big Macs, coffee drinks, Happy Meals, iPad raffle tickets, socks and other branded merchandise benefitted the local charity for the 11th

year, bringing the total to $71,955.

“We are proud of our association with Reach and we passionately support the work they do with children in our community,” said Ladner and Tsawwassen McDonald’s owner/operator Steve Krawchuck.

Delta firefighters and police officers were out in force adding to the fun at the drive-thru and behind the counter at the Ladner

and Tsawwassen locations.

Local students that volunteered their time to perform at McHappy Day included Deas Island Dance, Holly Elementary choir, Southpointe Academy choir and jazz band, and the O’Brien School of Irish Dance.

Earthwise contest challenges youngsters to get growing

The Earthwise Society has a contest to test children’s gardening skills by growing the biggest pumpkin or the tallest sunflower.

The Great Big Giant Contest launches at this Saturday’s Earthwise BeeFriendly Plant Sale that runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Earthwise Garden in Boundary Bay. Earthwise staff will be handing out pumpkin or sunflower seeds, and children will be guided through a fun planting activity where they will plant their seeds in biodegradable newspaper pots.

They will bring the pots home, along with growing instructions, and eventually transfer the seedlings to their own gardens.

The contest encourages kids to participate in the planting process every step of the way, from sowing the seed and watching it sprout to nurturing the seedling and seeing it evolve into a full grown flower or pumpkin.

Children love the satisfaction of watching a plant they cared for reach epic proportions.

At the end of the summer the kids will either participate in a giant

pumpkin weigh in or send in photos of themselves standing beside their prized sunflowers.

The young farmers with the tallest sunflower and heaviest pumpkin will be named the winners.

This contest is open to youngsters 12 and under.

Those unable to make it to the Bee-Friendly Plant Sale can still participate

in the contest by purchasing their own pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

For more information about the Bee-Friendly Plant Sale or the Great Big Giant Contest, contact Earthwise Society at 604-946-9828 or info@ earthwisesociety.bc.ca.

As we celebrate mothers this weekend, we acknowledge that it is also a painful time for many women, for whom mothering is either an agonizing disappointment or excruciating longing.

This letter from a foster mom eloquently articulates the joys and heartaches of mothering from the perspective of fostering: “I walked in the door tonight from my foster parent class and greeted my husband with huge puffy eyes and a splotchy red face … because, my friends, fostering is hard and sometimes you just have to let it all out. It’s not the physical requirements that do me in. Sure, I’m up early mornings for feed-

Encouraging collaboration Multiple directors guide actors in Beau Han Bridge’s latest stage production DAVE WILLIS

T

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

sawwassen’s Beau Han Bridge and Shelby Satterthwaite are playing the main characters in Molly Misbegotten, the latest production from Bridge’s Midtwenties Theatre Society.

Bridge, 24, who wrote the play, decided to have multiple directors work on the project. He says he wants to encourage collaboration with his theatre company.

“They all bring their own type of style,” he says.

Satterthwaite, 19, says it’s been good getting different perspectives on the characters and storyline.

“It’s been really cool working with a bunch of different directors,” she says.

With multiple people providing ideas, you can pick and choose which ones fit best and make the most sense for your character, she explains.

The play is described as an “intimate coming-ofage drama” that explores themes ranging from mental illness, regret, loneliness, love and the difficulties of accepting a less-than-ideal society.

Bridge plays Elijah while Satterthwaite plays Molly, Elijah’s girlfriend.

South Delta Secondary alumni Beau Han Bridge (right) and Shelby Satterthwaite are cast mates in Molly Misbegotten.

Bridge, who’s also an independent filmmaker, aims to address plays that are less explored in the theatre scene with Midtwenties Theatre

Society and also focus on plays that can’t easily fit into specific genres.

Molly Misbegotten marks the third play for the company.

The play will be staged at Havana Theatre, 1212 Commercial Dr., Vancouver. There is a preview performance tonight while opening night is set

for tomorrow. The play continues its run May 15 to 19. Show times are 7 p.m. Tickets are $16 and available online at www. mtstheatre.com.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Genesis Theatre DAVE WILLIS

Delta Secondary theatre students are presenting a classic Shakespearean comedy this week at Genesis Theatre.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs until Saturday.

“The kids have been working really hard to understand the play in terms of its theatrical context and the influence it’s had on theatre today,” said drama teacher and director Rebecca Salton.

“They’ve really embraced classic Shakespearean speech and acting skills and they’re doing a really good

The production is a condensed version of the play with beautiful costumes and sets built by the cast and a small crew, Salton

said.

She noted a group of DSS theatre alumni has been helping for the past few weeks.

Capilano University stu-

dent Ann Matterson is one of those lending a hand.

“It’s been really, really fun,” she said.

Grade 12 student Lauren Smith plays

Helena.

She said cast members have to know what they’re saying and what it means.

“It’s difficult because you really have to get every single word down. You can’t wing anything or paraphrase really or else it just doesn’t make any sense.”

A Midsummer Night’s Dream runs until May 12 at Genesis Theatre.

Show times are 7:30 p.m. as well as a matinee on Saturday at 1 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors/ students.

Tickets are available at the Genesis Theatre box office at lunch and after school.

Abstracts take centre stage in guild’s current exhibition LAUREL JOHNSON

Optimist contributor

The South Delta Artists Guild is currently hanging Imagine: from Reality to Abstraction at Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen.

Many people are stymied when they view an abstract. What did the artist mean with those shapes and colours? Sometimes the idea is an easy read.

Guild docents will be at the gallery when the exhibit is open, Thursday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., to help explain the works. Is it obvious? Not always.

While viewing the works, members of the public can also vote for

their favourite.

One of the guild’s featured artists is Rose McClelland with her painting Overbloom. The painting is colourful, and the subject is one we all recognize. It is not photo realistic, but an impression of a flower. The background colour makes the painting shine.

Some compositions are easy to recognize — the cross being one of them.

The centre of interest is generally at the intersection of the form. Others are more subtle. Letters of the alphabet are often used. An “S” shape leads the eye around the form or a “C” shape will bring the eye around to the idea the

artist had in mind.

The show runs until May 20.

The gallery is hosting its annual Oil & Water juried show in June. A jury is usually composed of three artists from the Canadian Federation of Artists who review the submitted works and pick the ones they feel show the greatest merit.

Any artist in B.C. is welcome to enter Oil & Water.

Local merchants have donated prizes to sweeten the show.

Oil & Water runs from May 31 to June 23. An opening reception and unveiling of the prize winners takes place on May 31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Concert to benefit ailing rock icon

Show tomorrow night at Tsawwassen Legion to help Jerry Doucette with his medical bills

A fundraising concert is set for tomorrow night at the Tsawwassen Legion to benefit local rock icon Jerry Doucette.

The event is being put on to help with Doucette’s medical expenses, according to Dave McIlroy, one of the organizers.

The Juno Awardwinning Doucette suffered a broken arm and three fractured vertebrae from a fall last October and has been in hospital since November after it was discovered he had a serious heart condition. The hope is he will return home soon but will require around the clock supervision.

Doucette is a platinumselling artist best known for the late 1970s hit Mama Let Him Play. He received the inaugural Mentor of the Arts Award,

Concert lineup

McIlroy says a side many fans don’t see is that Doucette is a family man and loyal friend.

an honour handed out at the annual Tsawwassen Sun Festival.

McIlroy says Doucette is a brilliant guitarist who’s admired by fans and loved by fellow musicians.

“When you play with Jerry, you raise your game, he brings it out in you.

Delta Concert Band tuning up for Europe at KinVillage

The Delta Concert Band is about to begin its final tune-up for a memorable two-week playing tour of northern England and parts of Scotland in June with a special concert on Saturday, May 19 at KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen.

The performance will highlight the music to be played in the UK. The local band, made up of more than 45 adult amateur musicians, has been an entertainment fixture in the community for more than 50 years and is recognized as one of the top concert bands in the Lower Mainland.

Members range in age

from 18 to 80 and come from a wide variety of occupations and professions. Under music director Jim Tempest they quickly meld into a cohesive ensemble.

The group is able to play many types of music — swing, rock, classical, marches, musicals, movie scores or pop.

The trip in June, which will feature joint concerts with top-caliber regional bands, will be the Delta Concert Band’s second playing trip to Europe in recent years.

The KinVillage concert will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. Admission is by donation.

“Come experience our Award Winning Programs” LARGE SELECTION OF:

Grooming Supplies Riding Apparel Horse Blankets • Tack Equine Laundry Service

A good way to get prepared, whether you are a recreational rider or a competitive show jumper, is with some basic ground work. Never assume that the horse you finished with last season with is the same horse today!

Ground work is the basis of good horsemanship and builds trust and confidence in both horse and rider.

The benefits are one reason for the growing popularity of Mountain Trail – a discipline that puts horses and riders through a series of challenging obstacles designed to mirror features you might find in nature but are, instead, presented in a specially designed course supervised by a certified trainer.

Mountain Trail classes begin with guiding the horse from the ground. The rider only gets into the saddle after the horse has shown he is listening to instructions and is able to accurately and safely get through each obstacle guided by a lead line and his rider’s cues.

We can achieve the same obedience and trust by working a horse in a round pen. Even taking him for a walk along the road past his stable is helpful. The horse should pay attention to the person leading him, and not be pushy or distracted. Once you can get a halt, a back up and a quiet stand on the ground, you can try the same things under saddle. Very quickly you’ll know if you still have your horse’s willingness, or whether you should do more in hand work before riding out.

Remember to wear gloves and a helmet when working a horse on a lead rope or lunge line and give lots

Vitamin D deficiency drains $9 billion from Canadian Health Care system The bulbs we use at Hawaiian Beach sun bed Salon can, in most cases, give you this optimum level of Vitamin D. Our world could not survive without U.V. light.

Spa Time Mothers Day Package Full body scrub, 60min Time Out Massage & LED Facial 2hrs SPECIAL $185

Visit Three Powerful websites: • Dr. Gerry Schwalfenberg Edmonton • Dr. W.B. Grant - Sunarc Research has left no doubt that Vitamin D deficiency - which affects 97% of Canadians in winter - is nothing less than a Canadian crisis and world wide problem.

Dr. William Grant (www.sunarc.org) calculates the cost of Vitamin D deficiency to be no less than $9 billion annually.

A Creighton University study showed that people rich in Vitamin D have up to a 77% lower overall cancer risk.

The Canadian Pediatric Society recommended that pregnant women consult their physicians about getting 2000 I.U. of Vitamin D daily - 10 times the current government recommendations.

The Canadian Cancer Society has called for all Canadian adults to get 1000 I.U. of Vitamin D daily.

The key message the Vitamin D Society wants Canadians to receive is: that we are at risk of Vitamin D deficiency because of our country’s relatively weak sunshine most of the year and the fact that Vitamin D is rare in diet.

With thanks to the Vitamin D Society for this info, who incidentally recommends asking your doctor for an annual blood test to check your Vitamin D levels. Optimal Vitamin D blood levels are 50ng/ml (125nmol/L). Calcidiol Test.

They had leading roles in South Delta Sun Devils winning their first-ever provincial volleyball championship now Megan and Nicole McNamara have done the same for the UCLA Bruins.

The 20-year-old Tsawwassen twins capped off a magical junior season Sunday in Alabama by helping the Southern California school capture its first beach volleyball NCAA Championship with a 3-1 victory over Florida State Seminoles.

The result came two days after the No. 1 ranked Bruins saw their 31-match win streak snapped by the No. 4 Seminoles (3-1) in second round play. UCLA rebounded to battle its way back through the loser’s bracket with wins over No. 7 LSU (3-0), defending champion and No. 5 USC (3-1) and No. 3 Hawaii (3-2) on Sunday morning.

The Bruins won 35 of their final 36 matches to complete the historic season with a 40-4 overall record. The 40 wins represent a single-season NCAA record, previously set by USC last year (38).

Ironically, the McNamaras’ match on court one did not figure into the outcome of the national final. They were on match point (22-20, 20-14) against Vanessa Freire/Tory Paranagua when teammates Sarah Sponcil and Lily Justine swept their match (21-18, 21-19) on court two to clinch the title.

Still, they were recognized for their outstanding play by being named to the All-Tournament Team, joining UCLA’s court five tandem of Izzy Carey and Megan Muret.

The recognition comes on the heels of being honoured as Pac-12 Pair of the Year while Nicole was also named Pac-12 Player of the Year. They finished their junior year with a 35-7 overall record.

The girls helped the Sun Devils win three straight B.C. titles at the senior level from Grades 10-12 (2012-14). They also won the provincial junior championships in their Grade 9 year (2011).

The McNamaras had little to time to celebrate the national championship win.

On Thursday they made a successful debut on the Federation International Volleyball (FIVB)

They dropped the opening game 17-21 then rallied to win the next two — 21-17, 15-11 — to advance to Friday’s pool play rounds.

The McNamaras have compiled a 32-7 overall record while playing in FIVB age category beach volleyball events.

SunDevilsplayingwellbeyondtheiryears South Delta earns 17th straight B.C. berth with starting line-up loaded with Grades 8 & 9s 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 South Delta Sun Devils’ amazing run at qualifying for the provincial senior girls soccer championships is alive and well with the youngest starting 11 in the program’s rich history.

The Tsawwassen school keeps adding to its own record by making it 17 straight B.C. tournament appearances thanks to a 1-0 Fraser Valley AAA quarter-final playoff win over Surrey’s Enver Creek on Wednesday afternoon at Winskill Park.

South Delta will now host league rival Panorama Ridge on Monday (3 p.m.) looking to lock up a berth in Thursday’s Valley final which will take place at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The “streak” has had some challenges in recent years with the Sun Devils needing to win backdoor sudden-death games to get to the provincial showcase event. This time it was promptly taken care off with a line-up that features players that weren’t even in high school a year ago.

The Sun Devils typically field at least four starting Grade 8s and two more in Grade 9. When they needed to preserve their lead in the late going Wednesday, it was three Grade 8s controlling the middle of the park.

They not only don’t look out of place at the senior level but are thriving playing a possession oriented game — routinely beating opponents in one-on-one situations all over the field.

The Sun Devils went unbeaten in league play (5-0-1) to win the South Zone and headed into the post-season ranked No. 4 in the province.

“We have had Grade 8s on the team in the past, typically to fill out a roster and learn from the older kids, but

never anything like this,” marvelled co-coach Brent Sweeney. “They want the ball at their feet and that’s what we try to encourage them to do. It started with the very first exhibition game when we told the girls that’s how we wanted to play.

“We knew they had the skills for it and they have kept working on it. It showed again today.”

The best part of South Delta’s game might be at the back where its stingy play resulted in just two goals against in the six league games and a pair of shutouts so far in the playoffs. That’s with a Grade 8 and a Grade 9 among the starting back four.

The instant success for these young players reflects an outstanding group of multi-sport athletes.

The McDonald twins — Kate and Jane — along with Teila Noble are all starters who were also members of the Grade 8 basketball team that finished fourth in B.C. They all find the time to play Division One community soccer for South Delta United while other underage standouts are at the Metro level or in the TSS Academy program.

“They are good athletes and good competitors,” added co-coach Stephen Burns. “They are willing to get stuck in and are not afraid to do it. They have that mentality that they don’t want to get beat which is awesome. They just go and go. We knew we had a good group after a couple of games.

“The last time we had multi-sport kids like this is when (basketball standouts) Laura Craig, Kira Carre and Becky Atkinson came through (back in 2005). It really is one of the nicest groups we have ever coached and we are having so much fun working with them.”

Invader teams dominate CatWheatleytournament

It certainly was a productive weekend for Delta Fastpitch at the Third Annual Cat Wheatley Memorial Tournament in Richmond.

The South Delta Invaders 2000B and 2001B teams finished first and second respectively in the 18-team tournament that featured entries from as far away as Prince George and Kelowna.

The 2000B Invaders are also enjoying a solid season in the Lower Mainland U19 Division with a 5-0-1 record to date. The 2001B Invaders’ run to the championship game was impressive as a first-year team in the division.

The was tournament created in memory of Catherine Wheatley — a longtime Richmond Girls Softball Association

player and coach — who passed away in April 2016 from injuries sustained in a car accident. She was just 22.

Wheatley was an assistant coach with the 2000B Islanders at the time and had worked with the majority of the players since they were six-years-old.

Success for South Delta teams in Richmond is nothing new.

Last summer, the 1999B Invaders won the Western Canadian Championships at the same London Ball Park venue.

The team didn’t continue this season with players attending universities across the country. Among them was UBCbound pitcher Chantelle Twynstra who enjoyed standout freshman season with the Thunderbirds.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES PARTON, Leslie J

LAURIE, Olga Elsie January 4, 1926 April 24, 2018 Wife, Mother, Sister, Kitty Grandma, Great Grandma, and Friend.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Elsie.

Mom was predeceased by her loving husband of 56 years Jim (2007), her parents Andrew and Pauline Tymchuk, sister Anne Lubiniecki, brothers John and Nick and brothers-in-law, Jack (Bernice) and Ken (Jacqueline) Laurie.

Elsie will be sorely missed by her daughters Shirley-Anne (Tony), Barbara (Marvin), grandchildren Jordan (Leslie), Aaron (Mercedes) and great grandchildren James and Katherine.

Mom was born in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba, worked the family farm until her brothers returned from the war and left for Prince Rupert to join her sister.

It was here that she met our dad Jim and married in 1951. The family moved to North Va n c o u v e r i n 1 9 5 9 and made a happy home there.

Elsie was devoted to her family and was happiest when she was with them. She loved working in the garden, going out walking and her fav o u r i t e c a t P u f f y.

Mom set a goal to live to age 90 and couldn’t believe that she exceeded it.

Mom also could not believe all the changes that have taken place in her lifetime.

COX, Leone Mary (Orr) October 28, 1925 - December 9, 2017 In the evening sleep at Irene Columbia and one of its supporters.

of December 9, Leone died in her Thomas Hospice in Ladner, British the community of Tsawwassen lost most passionate advocates and

Leone was born in southern California to Mabel and James Orr and raised there until she moved to London, England in 1945. There she met Douglas Cox, her beloved “English gentleman” whom she married in 1952 and with whom she shared a long and happy life until his death in 2010.

In 1954 Leone and Douglas came to Canada where they continued their careers in real estate, first in Toronto, then in Vancouver where they moved in 1974. Following Douglas’ retirement in 1981 they lived in Redondo Beach, California for four years and returned in 1984 to settle in Tsawwassen. Here, Leone became a major force in the community, probably most recognized for her involvement in the Tsawwassen Homeowners Association, an up to 1,700 member organization of which she was a founding director and for many years its President. She sat on several municipal committees and was a Board member of the Independent Delta Electors Association and the TriDelta Voters Association, the groups dominating municipal politics from the early 1990s for the following two decades. She loved South Delta and felt strongly that its unique environment and lifestyle needed and deserved protection. She served her community and its residents long and well.

Leone will be fondly remembered and missed by her step-daughter Vivien (Geoffrey) of Cheshire, England, relatives in West Vancouver, England and the USA and a wide circle of friends she and Douglas made through many years in British Columbia and many winter months in Borrego Springs in the Anza Borrego Desert in Southern California.

Special thanks to Jan Winfield, her caregivers and the many friends who brightened her later years.

A celebration of life will be held at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen on Wednesday, May 16 at 12:00 noon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Boundary Bay Conservation Committee (Box 1251 Station A, Delta, BC V4M 3T3) or in Leone’s name to a charity of your choice.

We would like to thank the nursing and care aide staff at Evergreen Manor, where Elsie resided prior to her sudden illness, Drs. Schwartz, Edmunds and Hariton and the nursing staff on 4East.

A very special thankyou to Gabriela who daily had been a companion and caregiver for Mom for the last 3 years with the kindness, empathy and understanding that we all deserve.

A family graveside service will be held on Monday, May 14th at 1 1 a m a t W e s t N o rmandy, Forest Lawn Cemetery, 3789 Royal Oak Ave., Burnaby.

Forever in our hearts.

Love you Mom.

JARVIS, Helen Passed away peacefully on April 29, 2018 at the age of 92. She will be dearly missed by her children Bob (Patsi) and Loraine (Brian), grandchildren Leanne (Michael), Andrea, Jamie and her greatgrandson Jonah. Fondly remembered by her nieces Gloria and Carol and nephews, Laurie, Sandy, Scott and Kip. Predeceased by her beloved husband Bill and her sister Wanda. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 9, 2018 from 1 to 4pm at Britannia Shipyards Historic Site, 5180 Westwater Drive, Steveston.

On May 3, at age 64, his fierce battle ended.

Our sorrow is deep, yet we rejoice that Les is now with his Saviour Jesus.

Predeceased by parents William and Beatrice Parton. Born in Alberta, raised in Kerrisdale, Les and his young family settled in Tsawwassen, BC. Devoted husband to Deborah (Robinson), loving father to Evelyn and William, brother to Gerry, Doug (Linda), Margaret (Gavin) Hill and Mary (Mike) Jackson, and uncle to their children. Attended Langara College and enjoyed a Real Estate Appraisal career in Prince George and Vancouver. A talented piper, he played in many bands starting with White Spot Jr. A skilled sailor, he preferred motor sports on dirt, snow and sea. In retirement Les and Deborah RV’d around North America. Les gathered friends wherever he went and will be greatly missed. Our gratitude to those that tended him physically and spiritually this past year. A Celebration of Life will be held at Tsawwassen Alliance Church, 4951 12th Ave, Delta on Saturday, May 12 at 2PM. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your charity of choice.

MCQUEEN, Jack March 22, 1932 - May 2, 2018 Jack is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Steve, and his daughters Nancy Bullock (Todd) and Carol Neufeld (Rob), his grandchildren Kate, Ryan, Jason, Camden and Seth as well as many nieces and nephews in Ontario. He was predeceased by his son Glenn (Terry).

Jack was born and raised in Toronto sharing his wonderful parents John and Catherine with his brothers Bob (Helen) and Bill (Bev) and his kid sister, Sheila (Eric). He spent many days as a small fair haired caddy, often lugging double bags around Weston Golf course; the beginning of his love of golf and his Ben Hogan swing.

His career in the Graphic Arts world spanned 65 years while also teaching Lithography at night school for 20 years, he was always proud that he never missed a class. Neither rain nor snow stopped him from riding his bike every day to the subway, often wearing garbage bags to protect him from the weather, much to his daughters’ embarrassment.

The big move to the coast 28 years ago allowed him to spend many days at Beach Grove Golf Club. He was an active member of the Boundary Bay Lions for 20 years. His speciality was making Mickey Mouse pancakes at the beach every Father’s Day. Jack had an entrepreneurial spirit that kept him busy. The last 10 years, with his pockets full of dog biscuits he became a dog walker extraordinaire aka Pet Buddy. Jack was also known to many as ‘Mr. Health’, never shy about his belief in the benefits of Natural Health or the joys of juicing.

A celebration of Jack’s life will be held at his home at 1413 Compston Crescent, Beach Grove on Saturday May 12th from 2-5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to Delta Hospital would be appreciated.
