I’ve really enjoyed serving this community. When I retired as chief, I thought it was time to move on from that role, but I decided to try the next level,” he told the Optimist. Cessford feels his group brings a fresh perspective on Delta issues and he has the skills and attributes to create many positives for the city.

Delta’s other worst kept secret is no more. Former Delta police chief Jim Cessford confirmed this week he will be running for mayor in this fall’s civic election. Cessford, who spent 20 years at the helm of the Delta Police Department before retiring three years ago as the longest-serving police chief in the country, will be joined on the Independents Working for You slate by incumbent councillors Bruce McDonald and Jeannie Kanakos as well as newcomers Sandeep Pandher and Garry Shearer.

Parrots rescued from a Vancouver Island bird sanctuary have taken flight from their space in Vancouver and are now in a new home at a Ladnerarea farm. Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary rescued the birds in the spring of 2016 from the World Parrott Refuge in Coombs. Greyhaven’s communication director Jan Robson said after the rescue they had 100 birds housed at the former SPCA building in Nanaimo, another 130 at a house in Maple Ridge and others in a building on East 8th Avenue in Vancouver. “At its height we had probably 165 birds in that space in Vancouver,” said Robson. “Really we had them there and everywhere, but through adop-

tions we had around 70 in that Vancouver space that we have now moved to a new home in Ladner.” Robson said the space in Vancouver was slated for demolition when they moved in. Delays in permitting applications gave Greyhaven a number of extensions, but recently those came to an end. “One of our board members saw a notice on Craigslist,” said Robson. “The people in Ladner had space on their property, are animal lovers and supportive of what we do, so it was a perfect fit. We were grateful for the space in Vancouver, but now have windows, we have light – it is quite a lovely change for the birds.” The birds moved into their Ladner digs last weekend. “We are trying to keep the location under the radar for the time being

until we get settled in,” she said. “At some point we will most likely have an open house. We are just so thankful for the new space. The birds have moved a couple of times, so they understand what is going on, but they handled the move to Ladner really well.” Robson said everything during their now 20-year operation has been a challenge. “It’s really been a leap of faith right from day one,” she said. “I feel like for the last two years we have done a whole lot of leaping, but every time we have been leaping we have landed safely, so you just learn to trust.” The facility is solely operated by volunteers who donate their time to the well-being of the birds that are under the care and protection of Greyhaven.

Robson said they are always looking for volunteers and financial support. To learn more about

$1,900 worth of cider stolen from May Days beer garden IAN JACQUES

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

Delta police are investigating the theft of several cases of alcoholic cider from the Ladner Legion’s beer garden at last weekend’s Ladner Pioneer May

Days. The cider was taken during the evening of May 24 or early on the morning of May 25 from the baseball storage area at Memorial Park. The beer garden, which the Ladner Legion has

operated for more than 30 years, was impacted significantly by the theft, according to Legion president Al Ridgeway. “The cider was worth approximately $1,900, which we were going to sell during the May

Days beer garden,” said Ridgeway. “We were able to replace it, however this loss will certainly cost in what our Legion contributes back into our community throughout the year. The May Days beer garden is one of our major

fundraisers and these funds go directly back into supporting our citizens throughout Delta. It’s very sad to see this happen in our community.” The Delta Police Department confirmed it has an open file.

Future of extreme weather shelter up in the air 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

Social service organizations, the police and fire department, City of Delta and other stakeholders came together at Ladner United Church recently to discuss the Delta Extreme Weather Shelter and potential plans for next winter. Those needing a warm place to rest their heads and get out of the cold had a space in South Delta this past winter thanks to a partnership between the Ladner United Church, the

City of Delta and Options Community Services. The shelter was located at the 48th Avenue church, which was open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. when cold weather alerts were called. The church was home to the shelter for several years, but that changed when it underwent extensive renovations. After those were complete, Delta approached the church to see if it would be open to the idea again. Delta provided funding for the mattresses, bedding and blankets, while

the church provided the space and volunteers to set up and clean. Staff members from Options were on hand when the shelter opened because of the need to have people with training and experience. A hot meal and warm clothes were offered, as well as a shower, along with a bed for the night. The shelter is able to accommodate up to 10

people. According to statistics released by Gillian McLeod, corporate social planner for Delta, of the 69 nights that were called, Delta’s shelter was open for 68 of them, hosting clients on 39 nights. Those clients included

23 men and 41 women, some spending multiple nights at the shelter. “The pattern this year has been like the pattern three years ago,” said Ladner United Church Rev. Jim Short. “Visibly homeless people do not use the shelter, neither do they come to us looking for help for housing. It is other people.” Organizers will be looking to improve awareness of the shelter within the community should it open again this winter. When an alert was

called, posters were set up at various places in the community. There was also outreach from other community groups as well as Delta police to ensure those who needed it were brought to the shelter. A Delta report on the shelter was presented to council Monday night. Councillors endorsed the report and gave direction to staff to continue discussions with Options as well as BC Housing to decide if funding will be made available to open the shelter this winter.

We’re not even into summer yet but that isn’t stopping Delta’s mayoral candidates from hitting the campaign trail. It was a standing-room only crowd Tuesday evening at a free event to hear former city CAO George Harvie at the New Era Banquet Hall in North Delta where he delivered much of the same message he had at his campaign unveiling at Tsawwassen Springs last week. Harvie also outlined some promises for North

Delta, including actively working to keep young families and those looking to downsize in Delta. “That means approving more housing choices in Delta, including multiple residential and townhouse developments along Scott Road,” he said. Among his other commitments is working with the Delta school board to make sure the community has adequate running tracks. Harvie also pledged to have an equal number of Delta council meetings in North Delta once an arts centre opens in that community.

“Fundamentally, it is about respect for over 60 per cent of Delta’s population,” Harvie said. “It’s about fairness, for all of Delta.” Harvie’s Achieving for Delta slate of council candidates — Dan Copeland, Param Grewal, Alicia Guichon, Dylan Kruger and Cal Traversy — were also on hand. A campaign organizer told the Optimist the hundreds who attended came thanks to the efforts of Grewal who has generated a lot of buzz in the community. In an opening speech, Grewal quipped when he

met Harvie, the former top bureaucrat wasn’t what he expected, describing him as more like actor Clint Eastwood who spoke with measured tones and with an analytical mind. Also in attendance was Mayor Lois Jackson, who was given high praise by Harvie for her accomplishments over the last 19 years. Earlier in the day, mayoral candidate Sylvia Bishop was at Beach Grove Golf Club where she spoke to members of the United Culture of China Society, promising to establish a new framework for diver-

sity in Delta. Bishop also went over several of the big issues facing Delta with traffic top of mind for many. She said she’s committed to working with all levels of government to improve traffic and transportation. The two-term councillor also said that as mayor she intends to make sure Delta has housing choices. Another issue on people’s minds is the condition of the parks, recreation and sports fields, she added. “Did you know that right now we have a list of projects that together

would cost $50 million? I announced a few weeks ago I would make a plan to get this done as a priority. We need a strategic, longrange plan to get these projects funded,” she said. Some of the other issues she talked about included wanting to see more public art spaces, whether on civic properties or larger developments. Bishop heads the Team Delta slate that includes six-term councillor Robert Campbell and newcomers Joan Hansen, Kim Kendall and Simran Walia. The election takes place Oct. 20.

Plan would enclose composting facility All parties appear to be on same page in effort to address odour complaints in East Ladner 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

Could there finally be relief for East Ladner residents dealing with foul odours coming from the Enviro-Smart composting facility? Through letters, meetings and discussions, Metro Vancouver, the City of Delta and Enviro-Smart (owned by Green for Life Environmental) appear to be making progress with plans to enclose the 72nd Street facility in order to be in full compliance with a soon to be Metro Vancouver-issued air quality management permit. Ray Robb, division manager with Metro’s environmental regulatory and enforcement services, told the Optimist that Metro is not contemplating any open composting for the company. “It’s a closed facility, which is different than what they applied for,” said Robb. “We just need their commitment on a few things. We’ve asked for certain critical information and when we receive that and I don’t know when that will be, we will turn around a draft permit for

A large crowd turned out last fall at a public meeting to discuss the odours emanating from the Enviro-Smart composting operation on 72nd Street in East Ladner. them. We will hear their comments, we can make adjustments if need be and then issue the final permit.” Robb said he did not know when the company would be responding. “I can tell you the steps, I just can’t tell you a time,” he said. “We’re pushing and they’re pushing, but it’s important to get this resolved from our perspective, their perspective and the community’s per-

spective.” Delta recently wrote to Metro Vancouver outlining a number of steps and conditions the city was prepared to accept to allow GFL to take on a significant increase in capacity at the facility in order to justify the new investment of a fully enclosed building and other major upgrades. Delta says it would expedite a building permit if an application is received, but would only

do so if the upgrades included a closed facility and that GFL was fully in compliance with Metro’s air quality management permit. Delta is also seeking commitments to address traffic and other community impacts related to capacity increases not regulated by the permit. “We trust that the air quality management permit will be an effective tool to regulate the

odourous emissions from Enviro-Smart, and with the improvements proposed, GFL will be able to address the existing concerns from neighbouring residents,” Mayor Lois Jackson writes in the letter. “Having said that, Delta would like certainty that any increase in capacity at Enviro-Smart would be directly linked to ongoing compliance with an air quality management permit. “The odour issue is

causing considerable concern to many residents in Ladner and we must ensure that all steps are taken to achieve an effective, long-term resolution to the issue at hand,” added Jackson. The Optimist reached out to GFL for comment on the permitting process and was provided with a statement from director Brian King: “We are a professionally managed organization that operates our Delta organics compost facility to consistently high standards. We are seeking an expanded permit to allow us to invest in a sustainable, community friendly manner in an enclosed structure.” Enviro-Smart has been the subject of hundreds of air quality complaints for the past couple of years, prompting Metro Vancouver to begin discussions with the company last summer about an air quality management permit. Since then there have been a couple of community meetings where the public has called for action to resolve the odour issues plaguing the community.

Mom raises concerns after ride mishap at Ladner May Days IAN JACQUES

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

A local mom is going public after a ride mishap on the West Coast Amusements midway at last weekend’s Ladner Pioneer May Days. Despite her four-yearold daughter not being injured, Christine Allen questions some of the actions taken by the company following the incident. Allen said last Friday night her daughter was on the Convoy Race when

somehow a car derailed and another car hit it, pushing it into the side rails. She said there were two children on the ride, but thankfully neither was injured. “My daughter was checked out by firefighters as a precaution in the first aid tent,” said Allen. “They did shut down the ride, but their initial response time was slow. West Coast Amusements came over eventually, but had this been serious, I just don’t know. They didn’t seem

to have proper systems in place.” Allen said once West Coast Amusements staff arrived, they accompanied the family to the first aid area along with May Days volunteers. “The Ladner May Days committee was relieved to hear the child was unharmed. Our first priority is the safety of everyone in our community,” said May Days chairperson Jennifer Scott in an email to the Optimist. Delta police had officers stationed at the fair-

grounds and also came over to check with the family and document the incident. DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf confirmed one of the rides stalled and then another vehicle rear ended it at low speed. She said the second child left the scene with her guardian prior to officers arriving. The ride was shut down for the remainder of the night pending an inspection by BC Technical Ride Safety. That safety check

was done and the ride was operational again on Saturday. Leykauf said DPD has concluded its investigation. “The May Day organizers were great — they coordinated with first aid, police and the firefighters,” added Allen. “West Coast was helpful too when we got to first aid and they offered us some stuffed animals, cotton candy and some ride passes. They told me that the accident was very rare, but I found out that something similar

happened two years ago on the same ride. I think maybe they should pull the ride or maybe we can request not to have this ride back here next year. I’ll certainly be suggesting that when I write to the city.” According to media reports, two youngsters received minor injuries in 2016 on the same ride at the Saanich Fair. The Optimist reached out via phone and email to West Coast Amusements for comment, but didn’t hear back by press time.

hat will it take to make you blink? It doesn’t matter what they call it (mobility pricing, decongestion charges) or what scheme they use to implement it (congestion point charges, distance-based charges), the goal remains the same — get drivers off the roads. OK, so the objectives are actually to raise money to pay for transportation system improvements and to get traffic flowing freely through existing choke points, but they won’t be able to accomplish the latter unless fewer of us are using the roads. Regional politicians, who were given a detailed report and two preferred options last week, must now decide how to move forward with some form of mobility pricing, but it seems painfully obvious that doing so means putting the squeeze on commuters until a certain percentage of them reach a breaking point. If, say, 25 per cent of drivers were removed from the roads during rush hours, think how much smoother the commute would be for those left behind. The merge points and water crossings that snarl traffic today would, for the most part, be free flowing, which would get drivers where they’re going quicker and with much greater consistency. So how do you thin the herd to get down to the required number of vehicles? Well, you impose a charge that’s just stiff enough to make the requisite number of drivers blink, a tipping point where they can’t, or won’t, pay the fee. Proposals now on the table could see drivers charged anywhere from $3 to $8 a day, the latter figure likely being steep enough to encourage a decentsized contingent of commuters to find another way to their destinations. I’m not sure which group would be angrier: the 25 per cent that cried uncle or the 75 per cent paying two grand or more a year for the privilege of using roads they travel for free today. The upshot is that commutes would be faster and government would collect $1 billion or more annually that it could invest in the transportation system, but the backlash from drivers is going to make every politician think long and hard about approving such a scheme. It’s not often a fee annoys those who pay it as well as those who don’t, but mobility pricing could accomplish that feat should it become reality.

Pipeline decision manages to alienate both left and right

o, I understand the Trudeau government nationalized a pipeline this week; let’s talk about that. From a purely business perspective, there are a lot of reasons this decision is a disaster. The first being that Canada purchased the 65-year-old pipeline for $4.5 billion when it was only valued at $550 million in 2007 by Kinder Morgan itself. This implies that either Finance Minister Bill Morneau believes the value of the asset increased eightfold as it aged 11 years, or that its valuation is being propped up by the expected expansion and the pipeline’s anticipated sale. Ignoring the fact that Morneau “forgot” to report that he was a partner in the company that owns his French villa to the ethics commissioner, the valuation is likely in expectation of the expansion’s completion and sale. However, the missing piece of information that I find most troublesome is the absence of a publicly available risk assessment, cost benefit analysis or independent economic analysis for the acquisition. We simply do not have the information to claim the pipeline is a wise investment. According to a Cannacord Genuity analyst and the CEO of the Canadian Energy Pipeline

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

Association, the high cost of completing the project (in excess of an additional $6.3 billion of the initial $7.4 billion cost estimate, not including delays) and existing court challenges mean the purchase fails to increase certainty in the project or instill confidence in Canadian investments. This loss of confidence is certainly not from the federal government’s lack of effort. In order to increase Trans Mountain’s profitability, the National Energy Board allowed Kinder Morgan to double its tolls, increasing corporate profits while hiking the price that Canadian producers paid to reach international markets. In the meantime, the move serves to alienate both the political left and right by simultaneously steamrolling environmental and First Nations interests, and by

providing a huge taxpayer subsidy to acquire the massive risk of an unpopular infrastructure project. If all of this was not enough, there are the signals that Morneau is sending to the pipeline’s fantasy future purchaser: Canada will sell you the pipeline at a loss. In Morneau’s own words, “We’re not seeking to make a profit. We’re seeking to ensure the project gets done, but we will always try and make sure the project presents a fair situation for Canadians.” It is rare in life to witness one statement put an entire nation in a poor negotiating position, but there it is. Morneau has literally stated that Canada is not looking to make a return on this investment which sets us up for a loss. While that may be true from a strategic standpoint, this quote from the movie War Machine sums the situation up nicely: “That’s like telling the bad guys all they have to do is wait out the next 18 months.” And all of this because no one could promise B.C. that we would not be footing the bill for a coastwide clean up. 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.

distance of many attractions. Contrast that convenient one-bus service with today’s 601 bus to the Canada Line station with its stairs and elevators; then a second transfer to reach central places of interest. It’s a time-consuming, wearying process, especially challenging for those with mobility issues. We miss out on visits to Vancouver because the effort has become more trouble than it’s worth. Even a partial restoration of the 601’s direct service — two scheduled northbound buses in the morning and two south-

bound ones in afternoon — would allow seniors and others to easily take advantage of Vancouver’s many cultural and social opportunities without placing too high a demand on TransLink’s resources. I also subscribe to Greg Hoover’s proposal to allow voters to express their opinions regarding a casino in Ladner on the civic election ballot. Given the important financial and social considerations, I think many would welcome broader community input and that majority opinion should be respected, whatever it might be. Wellner Gagnier

pens inside the building is simply a game – somewhat similar to games that are played every day amongst families in Ladner. The difference in a casino is that players put down a dollar (or in some cases $10,000) on about a 45 per cent chance they will win. So rather than seeing a casino as a cash cow or a den of sin, let’s simply decide if we want legalized gambling in our community. However, let’s start thinking about the issue with our collective heads rather than bleating about it with our collective hearts. Then South Delta’s citizens might become increasingly enlightened rather than increasingly balkanized. Dale Wallace

we need to ask ourselves is gambling inherently wrong? I doubt there is much opposition to the casino building itself. After all, if a large church with adjoining parking lot or a 12-court indoor tennis facility were proposed, opposition would most likely be minimal. The disapproval is more about what goes on inside the building. It’s time to forget about what politicians and pontificators say about gambling and use clear judgement on the issue. So, shut off the neon lights, stop the metaphorical preaching and ease up on the huffed up opinions. Rather, let’s reduce what goes on inside the casino to the lowest common denominator. What hap-

Editor: After reading many opinion columns and letters in the Optimist, I am convinced the two opposing sides on the casino issue see it as a debate between good and evil. The ones who believe the casino is good foresee it bringing in new revenue to the city which can be used to enhance or expand public services. On the other hand, the ones who believe the casino is bad foretell there will be increased crime, increased social ills (like gambling addiction) and a decrease in Ladner’s perceived small town quaintness. Arguing about the casino is futile. It’s time to drop The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil thinking. Instead,

That aside, when people campaign and become elected to positions on council, they should know what the circumstances they are facing will be.

The Delta South Youth Advisory Council organized a beach cleanup.

Paton is encouraging youth to get more involved in political process

MLA’s Report IAN PATON

Young people in our community sometimes get a bad rap. Some folks tend to dismiss their ideas, telling them they’re too young to understand the important issues of the day. They grumble about how young people today don’t work as hard as those in previous generations. But I truly believe our youth want to have a voice in our community

and in local decisionmaking, and do good things for others. So what’s holding them back? Perhaps it’s our attitudes. After being elected as MLA for Delta South last year, I wanted our constituency office to continue to provide an opportunity for our local young people to get more involved in our community. That’s why I reactivated the Delta South Youth Advisory Council. Comprised of eight members, this group has brought forward a number of important issues. These include suggestions to engage more young people in the political process by broadening the scope of civic education in classrooms. They also want to improve transportation services in South Delta to make our community more readily accessible for young people who live

here but work or study in Vancouver. They also note the importance of working with all three levels of government to protect our environment. This last point in particular motivated them to do something meaningful to enhance our community. They recently organized a local beach cleanup they tackled with enthusiasm despite the rain. Together, our group of about 40 people — including BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson — collected a huge bin of trash. It was a great community effort, led by these impressive young people. A huge thank-you to the Delta South Youth Advisory Council for its great work this past year. In September, I will be accepting applications for next year’s youth council. I hope we double the number of young people on our team.

People in the U.S. were disgusted with the way their political system had developed. They wanted change. They saw politicians being more interested in their personal gain, and the well being of their political donors, than the average person they would tell you they represented. It’s not that different in Canada, it just takes a little longer for people to react. Our prime minister purports to represent all Canadians and even more so the people of the world. He tends to ignore the average Canadian, other than to pose for selfies. He decides on what is politically correct, he alone decides who may be a federal candidate for the Liberals, he invites and welcomes the people of the world to come as refugees, and all at your cost the day they arrive. He introduces new taxes because they’re supposedly good for us, but all without consulting the people that pay the everincreasing bills. Provincially, we ousted the Liberals because we were told they were dishonest and did things without the people’s knowledge. The people had also become aware the Liberals under the premiership of Gordon Campbell had increased MLA pay and benefits substantially, and did so without the people having any say. The NDP promises were rather empty too. I doubt if the average British Columbian supports

the owner of a second house — it could be their summer cottage — being taxed differently. I doubt if the average British Columbian, having seen their politicians travel to Asia to boost B.C. and to seek investments, now supports taxing foreign investors differently. We know the majority of British Columbians support the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but never mind, it’s not what the people want, it’s whatever’s best for the party.

paycheques and what could be a very healthy provincial pension. He voted along with the rest of council so that he too would get a “golden handshake” when he leaves local politics. It’s now all about money. Early last year, on the recommendation from then city manager George Harvie, and without discussion, that council voted unanimously to have taxpayers give them an added benefit, a golden handshake. The mayor and council could have voted, long before, to join a pension program. The issue could have been openly discussed and debated during an election campaign and chances are a majority of people would not have objected, but instead they wanted it retroactively and without public involvement. We too may soon be facing a voters’ revolt, we only don’t know when. We are a busy people, and we don’t seem to know how to fight new and often hidden taxes. It was only done once before, when we fought the HST. It may happen soon when suddenly we learn that all these taxes are eating up two-thirds of our income. Wouldn’t a suffering old age pensioner or struggling wage earner like to decide their own pension or golden handshake? Bill Vander Zalm was the 28th premier of B.C., serving from 1986 to 1991. He lives in Ladner.

It’s not that different in Canada, it just takes a little longer for people to react.. Years ago I ran for a seat on Surrey council. People sought a seat on council or the mayor’s chair because they wanted to serve their community, to make their municipality or city better and more livable, and to keep taxes down. They kept their jobs or worked in their businesses, but gave up countless hours to serve at what was usually a relatively low amount of compensation. Money was not the reason; there was a commitment and people sensed it. That too has changed, and rather dramatically in Delta. The first questionable move came from Delta South Liberal MLA Ian Paton when he decided last year to keep his council seat, collect two

The Law Enforcement Torch Run will come through Delta next Friday.

Officers get more than they give to Special Olympics

DPD Strong

CHIEF NEIL DUBORD

On Friday, June 8, the Law Enforcement Torch Run will make its way through Delta. The Torch Run is an international law enforcement event that supports athletes in their quest to compete in the Special Olympics. The Torch Run has raised more than $3 million in B.C., and supports over 4,600 athletes throughout the province. Through the dedication of our staff over the past 20 years, the Delta Police Department has raised over a quarter-million dollars to support Special Olympics athletes. And in participating in the Torch Run, we have forged some incredible relationships with local athletes. Brad is one of those athletes who is particularly special to me. He works at the DPD, and when he arrives, his smile brightens everyone’s day. He pops into my office and we talk about hockey and other sports. He manages to hold down multiple jobs and train for the Special Olympics, where he has an outstanding track record: Brad has medaled in soccer, golf and hockey. On first glance, one would believe that we support the Special Olympics

as a way to give back; in reality, we are the ones who feel the greatest sense of reward. Watching these strong-willed, passionate young adults prepare for, and be successful in, the Special Olympics is nothing short of inspirational. The sense of pure joy and gratitude for having the opportunity to compete is a lesson for all of us. Insp. Debra McLeod has led us through decades of fundraising and has been integral in the success of our local athletes. She represented the DPD and the Law Enforcement Torch Run in Greece when the 2011 Special Olympics Word Summer Games were held in Athens. At those games, Stacey Kohler, another one of our local athletes, won bronze in the 3,000 metres and finished in sixth place in the 1,500 metres. With over 7,000 athletes and 21 sports, this was an amazing accomplishment by an amazing person. McLeod is passing on the torch to our young constables who will carry on the legacy of the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The Torch Run has become embedded in our culture at the Delta police and we will always support our athletes and friends. On June 8, when the Law Enforcement Torch Run comes through the community, you will see police officers, civilian staff, volunteers and Special Olympics athletes running together. They are not simply running to raise money and awareness. They are running for equality, opportunity and hope. Give them a honk and a wave, and support the Special Olympics!

Guide dogs benefit from work of youthful entrepreneurs

What’s going on with car insurance in B.C.? It’s no secret car insurance has been getting more and more expensive. Ever wondered why? For a start, there are more and more crashes. In fact, each year there are about 300,000 crashes on our roads – that’s close to 820 per day. More crashes lead to more insurance claims. In BC, there has been a sharp increase in both injury and vehicle damage claims. What’s more, the costs of these claims have gone up. Injury claims alone cost close to $3 billion a year.

So what’s being done about this? You may have heard the provincial government and ICBC have announced changes to car insurance in B.C. Under the new plan, more money will be available for your medical care, treatments and other benefits, like wage loss. The changes include: • Doubling of the overall money available for medical care and treatment. • More types of treatments covered including kinesiology, acupuncture, counselling and massage therapy. This means you won’t need to wait for approval. • More money covered by ICBC for individual treatments. • Higher wage loss payments and benefits for household support.

How is this possible? To allow more money for the care of people injured in crashes, the government has also announced it will introduce a $5,500 limit on pain and suffering payouts for minor injuries. This means the amount of money you can receive for the emotional distress of being in crash will be limited. But this limit is entirely separate from the money available to you for medical care and the other benefits described above. In fact, with the new changes these benefits are actually going up. This limit will not apply to major or catastrophic injury claims – like broken bones or brain injuries.

Find out more For more information visit icbc.com/change

Will I still be covered? The limit on pain and suffering payments does not take away your right to a hire lawyer or seek compensation for any additional economic losses. Just the same as today, if you are injured in a crash and not at-fault, you can get more money for wage loss and treatment costs over and above what is covered by ICBC accident benefits.

So who decides if an injury is minor? Under the new plan, just like today, a medical professional – not ICBC – will determine the diagnosis of your injuries and this will be used to establish whether it falls under the definition of a minor injury or not.

How will the definition of a minor injury be determined? The government and ICBC have been consulting with medical treatment providers to determine what types of injuries would fall under a minor injury definition. Over the coming months, this definition will be refined through regulation while still working with medical professionals for their input. In addition, other jurisdictions that already have a definition in place will also be reviewed in order to learn from past experience.

What if I disagree with my claim? Under our new plan, if you have concerns about your injury claim, there will be a new, independent dispute resolution process starting April 1, 2019. If you disagree with ICBC, based on the new plan, the Civil Resolution Tribunal will make decisions on the: • classification of an injury as a minor injury • entitlement to receive accident benefits claimed • decisions around who is at fault in the crash and settlement amounts for all motor vehicle injury claims below a threshold that will not exceed $50,000.

Why are these changes needed? In order to cover rising claims costs, B.C. drivers would need to pay on average at least $400 more for their full basic and optional coverage by next year – an average premium of approximately $2,100. These changes will stop you from paying rate increases of 30 per cent or more in 2019, while providing increased care for anyone injured in a crash.

2014. At that time, students invented a prototype of a product that would be appealing to fellow students and created a commercial for that product using green screen technology. The PowerPlay Program by Envision Financial provided the inspiration and resources to develop students’ understanding of setting a price, producing several units, conducting market research and calculating profits for their product. It was decided in 2015 to combine the entrepreneurial knowledge with service learning in preparation for Easter, which resulted in Grade 6 students selling their products at the school and donating the proceeds to charity. The students presented a charity of their choice to classmates in January, and then voted on which charity to raise money for. This year, the students voted for BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. BC & Alberta Guide Dogs is a registered charity based in South Delta. The organization breeds, raises and professionally trains guide dogs for blind/visually-impaired individuals and autism support dogs for children aged three to 10 and their families living with profound autism.

Royal-style Big Lunch set for St. David’s ELIZABETH MURRAY

The JazzMind Quintet will include Stand by Me in its set-list when it plays at St. David’s Anglican Church’s Big Lunch this Sunday. Hearing the song again will be a poignant reminder of Kingdom Gospel Choir’s part in the marriage ceremony of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19. In anticipation of the parish celebration of the royal wedding, ladies of St. David’s are sprucing up their summer wedding hats and fascinators for the moment organizers roll out the red, white and blue for an annual event that brings friends and neighbours together around the Big Lunch table.

True to Scots tradition, it is the skirl of Gordon Redmond’s pipes that will signal the start of St. David’s seventh annual Big Lunch and its popular picnic-style meal. Barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs, salads, dessert cupcakes royale and ice cream are on the menu beginning at 11:30 a.m. Moving the parish picnic from a local park to the car park at the church for a celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 was the beginning of a new-to-Canada way of bringing people together for food, fun and fellowship. Since then parishioners of the church in the culde-sac of Tsawwassen’s 51A Street have welcomed large numbers to “commu-

nity-spirit by the plateful.” The Queen’s 90th birthday in 2016 and Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017 were marked with decorated slab cakes and a royal wedding will be no exception. Big Lunch cake will help bridge the distance between St. David’s and far-away Windsor where the nuptials took place. The UK’s 10th anniversary of the Big Lunch, a phenomenon launched in 2009, will have an added dimension as the nation celebrates this decade’s second royal marriage. Numbers of Big Lunch participants across the Commonwealth are expected to surpass last year’s 9.3 million. This year, Big Lunch Day is officially June 3.

Two students from Richardson Elementary got the thrill of a lifetime Monday as they were sworn-in as Delta police officers in the annual Chief for a Day initiative. Aysia-Robyn Rodriguez, 11, and Amtoj Johal, 10, are both in Grade 5 at the North Delta school. Neither of the students knew each other before, but quickly became fast friends by the end of their day. The students began their day by sitting in on the department’s regular Monday morning senior management meeting and getting deputized. Then they met Caber the Victim Services dog, saw use of force demonstration, sat in a police car

Having spent last weekend surrounded by images at the sixth annual Arts Fair Weekend at Tsawwassen United Church, the power of images upon our daily life has been heightened again in my thoughts. Images through the arts can take many forms of expression: visual art through paintings in realistic or abstract expressions, fabric art through quilting, needlepoint and more, physical expressions of art through movement in dance or rhythmic gymnastics, carving, sculpting, musical expressions, and even the written or spoken word (not an exhaustive list of art forms). Each form of art impacts both the creative agent

gifts planted in the human soul that takes us beyond words into the realm of sensing and feeling. I believe it is this connection in and through images that opens us to the real of the Spirit. The power of the holy and the profane draws closer to the surface of our consciousness. It can be the place where significant conversations can open between people, a kind of bridging place into conversations that matter. It is here that I am aware that images lead to ideas, ideas can lead to thoughtful conversations, which can lead to new relationships that build strong communities. I am thankful for this gift of God’s Spirit.

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

South Delta tradition returns this Sunday with the Tsawwassen Shrine Club’s 49th annual salmon barbecue at Ladner Harbour Park. The event is a fundraiser for the Tsawwassen Shrine Club, and the Shriners of BC and Yukon, in support of the Shriners Hospitals for Children. “The event has been successful for so long

because the residents of Delta recognize the importance of the work done by the Shriners Hospitals for Children in treating orthopedic and specialty conditions for kids,” says Tsawwassen Shrine Club spokesperson Jeremy Colwell. “And, of course, getting out to enjoy the beautiful park in Ladner and enjoying some barbecued salmon is a great part of the Delta experience.” The club is also welcoming other community groups to join the fun this year. Orphaned Wildlife

Rehabilitation Society (OWL) and the Delta Community Animal Shelter will be in attendance as well as others yet to be confirmed. The family-oriented event will have games, face painting, a likely appearance from the Shriners Clowns and, of course, the playground in the park. “After 40-plus years of outstanding support from the community, the Tsawwassen Shrine Club wanted to change the event a bit, and make it more attractive to the new residents of Delta, while

still maintaining that philanthropic nature of the event,” says Colwell. “We have a couple other community groups joining us this year, and next year for the 50th, we hope to bring in even more community agencies.” The event is the major annual fundraiser for the Tsawwassen Shrine Club. From cutting fish, to running the barbecue pit, to clean up at the end of the event, Shriners and their friends and family will contribute hundreds of hours of time. For $12, guests will be

treated to some charcoalbarbecued salmon, fries and coleslaw to enjoy in a wonderful family environment. The barbecue goes from noon to 6 p.m. Access to Ladner Harbour Park is available at the 5100-block of River Road. More information about this year’s barbecue can be found online at www. salmonbbq.com.

Natasha Jeshani aims to help job seekers find, land and keep their dream job with her new book. “I take candidates through the entire process,” the Ladner resident says. Jeshani, who has over 10 years of experience in the HR and recruitment industry, covers subjects like how to write cover letters and resumes, how to prepare for interviews and how to negotiate a salary in The HR Insider: How to land your dream job, and keep it. She says she’s been documenting all the different questions from candidates she’s heard over the years

and a couple years ago realized she had the foundations for writing a book. Jeshani says she wanted to make her book easy to read while avoiding buzzwords and jargon. She notes it includes worksheets and checklists as well. This is her first book. She likely plans to update it in the future, noting ever-changing technology plays a huge part in the recruitment process now. “I’m always learning and growing so hopefully I’ll have more to share,” she says. The book is available at Black Bond Books in Ladner and online through Amazon in both paperback and Kindle versions.

Art activities can help with chronic pain An Art-full Life

MEG & MARY ANN

What is chronic pain? All of us have felt physical pain before: we’ve skinned a knee, broken a limb, pulled a muscle or have had a headache. The pain we get is one way our body tells us something is wrong and after a period of rest and healing, we go back to normal activities. Chronic pain, however, is when our brain is in an ongoing state of pain and heightened sensitivity. Despite common understandings of pain as being a purely physical reaction, it is actually directly linked to our brain and nervous system. The use of medication, exercise, diet, medical procedures and processing

emotions can help retrain the brain and improve the quality of life of those who suffer from chronic pain. How much does chronic pain interfere with daily living? The chronic pain experience is riddled with complexities because it has both physiological and psychological components, affecting the body, mind and soul. As someone who suffers with chronic pain and migraines, I hope to raise awareness of this invisible but life altering condition. Just like mental health, chronic pain is often an invisible illness. For me, there are no scars, a cast, a cane or even a service dog to alert others about my condition. I have struggled with constant and never ceasing pain. Every. Single. Day. For me and so many others, persistent pain makes normal activities excruciatingly difficult. For some, every movement or breath takes effort and everyday choices are made based on a delicate balance between periods of

rest and activity. How can we use mindfulness-based art activities to tackle pain? Making art is a fun, non-threating and inclusive activity where one can learn new skills and coping strategies, shore up defenses and build resiliency. Mindfulness is a frame of mind; a decision is made to pay attention to the present moment when doing an activity. Mindfulness is the lens with which we view the art making process. Mindfulness-based art activities help to acknowledge the presence of pain and provide a way to get through it, moment by moment. Through my own art process, mindfulness has been an effective method of distraction, providing temporary respite from physical symptoms of pain. It can also be done with others, that both legitimizes the chronic pain experience and helps to communicate the pain

experience to others. Because mindfulnessbased art activities combine body scans, breathing exercises, meditations, guided imagery and notions of acceptance, it offers a safe place to be self-reflective, learn healthy self-care habits and help you along your journey. What do mindfulnessbased art activities look like? Mindfulness-based art activities are best used in a peaceful environment, where one can be completely absorbed in the moment while immersed

in the process of creation. Repetitive tasks, such as knitting, colouring and playing with sand have calming attributes. While other art making focuses on a finished product, mindfulness-based art focuses purely on the process, often using art materials in simple ways. Here are a few things to try: 1) Sit comfortably and focus on your breath and acknowledge your body and how it feels. Explore different drawing mediums (chalk pastels, pencils, and markers) every few minutes as you meditate on your body. How does your body feel? Are there shapes, textures or colours that you associate with areas of your body? This exercise encourage experimentation and also brings awareness to the current state of our body, what ails it and what makes it feel good or strong. 2) Choose an object to draw. Begin with deep

breathing and an awareness of your surroundings (focus on all the senses). Take time to observe the size, shape, angle, texture and colours of your chosen object. Place your pencil on the page and then, without lifting it, mimic the contour and details of your object. Remember, the focus is on the process, not the final product. 3) Choose an inspirational quote or word and write it in the middle of a page. Try different lettering or whatever comes to you. Sit still and take deep breaths and draw/doodle around the quote. What does it mean to you? What do you envision? Don’t correct or change any of the marks, but accept what unfolds. Creative and reflective writing helps us to process and respond to our pain experience, accept it and how to move forward.

The onset of summer is a sure sign the popular car boot sales will be returning to Boundary Bay Regional Park. The first sale will take place on Saturday, June 9 at the Centennial Beach parking area off Boundary Bay Road. It will run from 8:30 a.m. to noon. A series of seven sales will be held — weather permitting — throughout the season on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. The final one takes place on Sept. 8. For those not familiar with the term car boot sale, it follows in the British traditional form of market where the car boot, or trunk, is used as a location for private individuals to come together and sell household goods and more. The sales present an ideal opportunity for apartment or condo dwellers to sort out any unwanted items and earn a few dollars at the same time. Prospective buyers will

often find a long elusive special treasure. The format for the car boot sales in Boundary Bay has scarcely changed in the 15 years they’ve been held and for many it’s like having a garage sale without a garage. Hosted by the volunteers of the Boundary Bay Park Association, the gates open at 8 a.m. for prospective vendors on a first come, first served basis. The fee is $10 which will provide two parking stalls — one for the vehicle and one for goods. Vendors should bring sufficient change as well as ground cover and display materials. Set up is not possible prior to 8 a.m. and vendors should have their spaces cleared by 12.30 p.m. Further information may be obtained by calling Tom Bearss of the Boundary Bay Park Association at 604-9409296 or visiting boundarybayparkassociation@ wordpress.com.

Seniors Week

Seniors celebrated during annual week

Mayor proud of Delta facilities and programs, but worries whether enough is being done Seniors Week celebrates seniors and their many contributions, providing an opportunity to acknowledge the integral role seniors play in communities across B.C. Seniors Week will be celebrated across the province and here in Delta from June 3 to 9. The City of Delta operates, in partnership with the volunteers of the McKee House Seniors Society, the McKee Seniors Recreation Centre in Ladner. It also operates the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre in North Delta with the volunteers of Kennedy Seniors Society. The other facility in South Delta is KinVillage Community Centre, which is part of KinVillage and is independently owned and operated by the KinVillage Association, a not-forprofit society. All of the centres have a variety of events and activities planned for Seniors Week, including informa-

tion displays, workshops, guest speakers and recreational opportunities. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she is proud of the facilities Delta has and the programs that are offered. “I think it is wonderful to see the number of people that utilize our facilities,” says Jackson. “We are doing a lot of things right.” One of the initiatives that Jackson is especially proud of is the seniors’ bus. “We can come and pick up seniors and take them to our facilities and other appointments. We don’t have the greatest transit system as you know, so having that available for people who don’t drive and are not as mobile is a great thing,” she says. “I encourage seniors to let us know what programs they need and what we can do to link them up to the services that they may need.” Jackson says besides celebrating seniors and everything that they have

done to make our society what it is today, this week is also a chance to see what can be done further to ensure seniors are not forgotten in society. “You don’t appreciate seniors until you are one — that’s when you appreciate the services you have, the inability to be as mobile and strong as you used to be,” Jackson says. “It is very interesting to see how municipalities — Delta included — are able to provide facilities for seniors. “I’m not sure whether it is enough. I worry about the ones who are on fixed incomes, or are alone and feel isolated. We can always do more. Many have fought to make this a life that we all enjoy today. We need to recognize that some of our seniors really need more help than others.” PHOTO BY ADRIAN MACNAIR

Lifeline is a unit of the Delta Hospital Auxiliary. In Delta, we enable approximately 460 residents of Delta to live independently and secure within their own homes. Volunteers install the equipment and ensure the clients know how to use their Personal Help Buttons. Many calls to Lifeline are solved by responders, therefore preventing unnecessary ambulance calls or visits to the Hospital Emergency Department. Seniors and their families have peace of mind knowing that help is just a click away.

Please let the public know of this service. As a retired registered nurse, I ﬁnd myself very impressed with the service and only wish more seniors knew about it. Advertise this service! Please.....

Live music starts at 11 a.m. featuring the jazz stylings of Natasha D’Agostino and the David Blake Duo, followed by performers from local talent agency Studio Cloud 30.

Seniors will want to visit the Town Centre Mall tomorrow for a special event. Earlier this spring a challenge was issued to local Tsawwassen seniors communities to participate in a competition to create their favourite in-house appetizers to serve at the event. The Waterford, The Wexford and Augustine House kitchens are all competing, and even Coast Tsawwassen Inn is cooking up something to enter in the competition. “This is going to be a food competition that nobody is going to want to miss,” says Taylor. The first 50 people through the gates will have the opportunity to taste-test and judge the

offerings. Judges will vote for their favourite appie, and the one that receives the most votes will be announced from the main stage at 12:30 p.m. and awarded a trophy. More than 20 community agencies and local businesses — including Deltassist, ElderCollege Delta and the Tsawwassen Community Police Station — will be on site with displays, giveaways and resources that serve seniors. The mall will be open as usual, with some businesses featuring special offers for seniors. If it rains, all aspects of the event will move inside the mall.

On the Water Boating and Marine Feature

Are You and Your Boat Ready for the Season?

By John Gullick – Canadian Safe Boating Council

Every year thousands of boaters go out on the water without giving any thought to how prepared either they or their boats are for the season ahead. Personal preparation involves ensuring you have on-hand your Pleasure Craft Operator Card, up to date nautical charts, a predeparture checklist and have obtained a reliable marine weather forecast. When it comes to vessel preparedness, one of the first things to ensure is that your boat and engine(s) are mechanically sound. Remember that, throughout most of Canada, boats have been in storage for a number of months over the winter and may not operate as efficiently as they did last season. Make sure that you follow the recommended maintenance schedule found in your boat’s owner’s manual.

The Canadian government also mandates that specific safety equipment be carried on board. This equipment can be of great benefit and can mean the difference between a great day out on the water and a potential disaster. Required items vary depending on boat length but the list below highlights the things that, at minimum, need be carried on board, in good working condition and within reach each time you go out: Compulsory Items required on a typical vessel 6 meters or less in length: • The vessels license or registration if powered by a motor of 7.5 kw (10 hp) or more • A Canadian approved flotation device (PFD) in good repair and of appropriate size for every person on board • Fire extinguisher (depending on type of engine, gas tank or cooking appliances on board) • Watertight flashlight or pyrotechnic distress signal requirements (flares) • Sound signaling device • Buoyant heaving line (minimum 15 meters in length) • Paddle or anchor with at least 15 meters of rode and/or chain • Re-boarding device • Bailer or manual water pump • Navigation lights Other items to check: • Secure batteries • Passive ventilation that allows air to flow through below decks • Exhaust fan or bilge blower that removes dangerous vapours • Flame arrester and heat shielding for inboard engines • Up-to-date charts • Magnetic compass • Radar reflector

LOCAL TIDES

A couple of months ago, the Delta Midget A1 Islanders didn’t have a coach or a goaltender. Now they are looking like provincial championship contenders. The Islanders dropped a hard-fought 6-4 decision to the Coquitlam Adanacs on Monday night to slip to 8-3-1 in top tier play. The visitors managed a pair of late power play goals to break the deadlock. The fact Delta was able to go toe-to-toe with the perennial juggernaut at the A1 level is a feat in itself. “You don’t see it happen often and that’s what I told the boys,” said Islanders head coach Nathan Wilson. “That was probably the best team we have faced all season. The next best is probably Victoria and we won’t see them until tournament play or the provincials.” Wilson is the popular longtime goalie with the senior “B” Ladner Pioneers. He was

between the pipes for last weekend’s 9-8 win over the Royal City Capitals, making some key stops in the dying seconds to preserve the win. When he learned Delta’s top midget rep team was still without a coach and the season fast approaching, he offered to step up. It would be a challenge, juggling his Pioneers’ schedule with the Islanders, especially with their home games being at Sungod Arena in North Delta when he lives a short drive away from the Ladner Leisure Centre. However, he was willing to fill a void. “They were short some coaches with guys taking breaks or their kids are getting older. My kids are old enough now that I can start giving back,” Wilson explained. “It’s a good fit for me right now to be give back to these young guys. “There’s a lot of talented ball players on this team and if they keep it up they are going somewhere in lacrosse and other endeavors in life.” Wilson gave the Islanders some guidance

behind the bench. However, the team was still lacking an experienced goaltender. That’s when Adam Hoegg stepped up in a big way. Having never played the position before, he has used his athleticism and expertise from his coach to provide Delta some superb play at the top level of rep. Holding the high-powered Adanacs to just six goals is typical of how his season has unfolded. “He is just a walk on kid,” continued Wilson. “But he is a very good athlete who plays football and other sports who has really stepped up for us.” Other multi-sport athletes include Ben McDonald and Rhys Porteous who are also key members of the South Delta Sun Devils football team. “We have a number of guys who are going to be making a nice and easy jump when they move onto the higher levels of junior lacrosse.” The Islanders typically play on Monday nights (7:30 p.m.) at Sungod.

Leclaire returns to LLC to haunt his former team Playing his first game at the Ladner Leisure Centre in nearly two years, Tre Leclaire inflicted plenty of punishment on his former team. The B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League’s 2015 rookie-of-the-year scored seven goals and added two assists to lead the first place New West Salmonbellies to an 18-8 win over the slumping Delta Islanders on Wednesday night. The two teams are slated to meet again on Saturday (7 p.m.), also in Ladner. Leclaire left the Islanders shortly before their memorable 2016 playoff run to play

for Canada at the World U19 Field Lacrosse Championships. He opted not to re-join the team to focus on his pending freshman season at Ohio State University. Delta patiently waited for his return but it never happened as Lecaire sat out the entire 2017 campaign. Finally, his playing rights were dealt to New West prior to the start of this season for a first round midget draft pick and cash. Leclaire now has 39 points since joining the Salmonbellies from his sophomore season at Ohio State eight games ago.

As for the Islanders, they have now suffered six consecutive regulation losses to sit 1-7-0-1 on the season and their playoff hopes already quickly slipping away. Goals allowed have been a serious issue during the current slid. Delta has surrendered a whopping 56 goals in their last three games. Earlier losses came against Victoria on Saturday (19-5) and Coquitlam (19-4) last week. Ryan Jones had a hat trick in Wednesday’s loss.

Joan lived and worked her entire life in the Lower Mainland and had many friends and acquaintances throughout the area. She was an avid square-dancer with clubs in Vancouver, Richmond and White Rock. She will be sadly missed by all, especially her family. She was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother. Special thanks to the staff of Delta Hospital and The Waterford. In lieu of flowers, donations to Delta Hospital Foundation. No Funeral by request. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at www.myalternatives.ca
