Flocking to see the spectacle An unusually large number of eagles drawing crowds to East Ladner IAN JACQUES

Contributing Writer

Nature lovers and amateur photographers are marveling at the site of an unusual increase in eagles in the skies above South Delta.

People have been flocking to a hot spot near 72nd Street in East Ladner to take in the sight of the birds and snap photos.

Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society raptor care manager Rob Hope

said there are usually quite a few eagles in the area between December and March, but admits there has been a huge increase in recent days.

He said weather most likely played a factor in late 2015 when heavy rains caused water levels to rise, making it difficult for eagles to access their main food source — salmon.

“This year the waters were very high so it was hard for the eagles to get the dead salmon because most of them were

washed out of the tributaries and into the Fraser,” said Hope.

“Because there is an organic transfer station nearby and the landfill is only a few kilometres away, this has now become a secondary food source for the eagles.”

Hope said with the abundance of organic food scraps at the transfer facility, there are lots of seagulls and ducks in the area and the eagles are preying on those birds for food.

“The eagles are either stealing

the food from the seagulls or are just killing them,” he said. “There are probably a lot of rats and mice too, but for the most part, it’s the gulls and the ducks.”

Hope said people should enjoy the eagles while they are in the area, but do it safely.

“The only thing we ask is that people respect private property and stay off the road because the last thing we want is for anyone to be hit or killed when everyone is enjoying this magnificent thing that has been put on a

Carriers Needed

Will Delta residents also have to put up with the pungent odour of marijuana from legal grow operations on farmland?

The Delta Agricultural Advisory Committee recently discussed a complaint from an East Ladner farmer about a strong odour coming from the large Canopy Growth greenhouse operation on Hornby Drive, which is converting to become a massive cannabis operation.

Civic staff will investigate how air quality and odours are addressed for greenhouses growing cannabis and if federal licences issued for agricultural properties have the same odour management requirements as cannabis production facilities in industrial areas.

Mayor Lois Jackson said she hopes the city, which is already dealing with a stench from the Enviro-Smart composting facility on farmland in

City hall is concerned that marijuana operations could foul the air in Delta.

East Ladner, won’t have its hands tied when it comes to the smell of marijuana.

She told the Optimist she has little faith if Metro Vancouver is left to deal with the situation, especially if pot growers begin operating in open fields.

The B.C. government recently announced cities will be permitted to pre-

We know that they’ve not been able to bring any semblance of order to our terrible problem in East Delta with the (compost)

odour and I don’t imagine they’d do a much better job with cannabis,” she said.

Canopy Growth Corp., which also has a cannabis greenhouse in Langley, was named one of the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch’s suppliers once recreational marijuana sales are legal in October.

A Delta woman was scammed out of $3,000 after taking a call she thought originated at Delta police headquarters.

Delta police are warning the public after a Delta woman was scammed out of $3,000 when a man called her pretending to be a police officer.

According to police, the call was made to look like it came from the Delta police headquarters phone number of 604-946-4411.

The unknown man advised the woman that her father was in custody

and that she should purchase $3,000 in Google Play gift cards to be used as “bail money.”

The woman purchased the gift cards and sent the activation codes to the male through WhatsApp. “Unfortunately scammers will spoof well known phone numbers, like that of local police, in order to try and convince their potential victims to take them seriously,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “We

want to advise the public that Canadian police officers will not call you directly asking for money for bail or any other purposes.”

Leykauf said there are many variations on these scams, with fraudsters regularly changing tactics.

“Our best advice is that if someone is calling you, asking you to pay a fine, taxes, bail, or anything through gift cards or bitcoin, it is a scam. Hang up,” said Leykauf.

“Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” Amendment Bylaw No. 7786

Land Use Contract Discharge Bylaw No. 7721

Proposal: The City of Delta is proposing to change the minimum lot width for subdivision in the Single Detached Residential 7 (RS7) zone from 12 m to 11 m. Prior to April 9, 2018, the minimum lot width in the predecessor of this zone under the previous Zoning Bylaw (“Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977”) was 11 m. With the adoption of the new “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” in April 2018, the minimum lot width was increased from 11 m to 12 m.

Background: At the Public Hearing for “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017”, a majority of speakers noted support for a continued 11 m minimum lot width within the Single Detached Residential 7 (RS7) zone, in order to allow for smaller detached homes on smaller lots and to respect the precedent that had already been set in infill areas. In response, an amendment to change the minimum lot width in the Single Detached Residential 7 (RS7) zone back to 11 m has been brought forward.

As most properties require rezoning approval in order to subdivide, design considerations for 11 m wide lots would be addressed on a case-by-case basis through review during the rezoning process.

Index shows crime in Delta is not so severe

The City of Delta has experienced another decrease in its crime severity index (CSI) and continues to be well below the Metro Vancouver and national averages.

While the Canadian CSI increased slightly by one index point to 72, Delta continued its downward trend to hit its lowest point since the index began.

The overall CSI for Delta remained relatively constant between 2015 and 2016, but saw a decrease in 2017 due to a significant drop in violent crime.

The CSI is a measurement of crime that reflects the relative seriousness of offences. For example, robbery is given more “weight” in the index compared to disturbing the

Two arrests were made last week in connection to a recent property crime spree in Tsawwassen.

In the early morning hours of July 18, Delta police officers were patrolling parts of Tsawwassen that have experienced a recent spike in property crime, specifically thefts from autos.

While in the area, officers attempted to engage two suspicious males who fled on foot. Police began an extensive search and the men were eventually found hiding in a parked Porsche Cayenne, along

“Delta continues to see a consistent reduction in the crime severity index over the past decade,” said Delta police public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf.

“It speaks to our partnership with the community

and the commitment of our officers. So far in 2018, crime appears to be levelling off and as our CSI declines to historic lows, continued reductions will become more difficult.

However, we will continue to work towards making Delta one of the safest cities in Canada.”

with what is believed to be a significant amount of stolen property.

The vehicle and property were seized, and police are working to identify rightful owners. The stolen items have been linked back to thefts from autos in the past two weeks in the English Bluff area of Tsawwassen.

Items seized include tools, insurance papers and identification, keys, sunglasses, GPS units and more. One bike was recovered from the vehicle and returned to its owner.

Both men, who are known to police but not from South Delta, were arrested on outstanding

warrants and breach of court conditions. Charges are pending related to possession of stolen property.

“Delta police have focused efforts on this particular area of Tsawwassen due to an unusual increase in property crime,” stated a DPD news release. “The proactive efforts by patrol officers have led to the successful apprehension of the individuals who Delta police believe to be responsible for a large portion of property crime in the English Bluff area.”

If you have been a recent victim of property crime in Tsawwassen, you are asked to call the DPD at 604-946-4411.

Wellness Wednesdays at The Village Clinic

Amazing what happens to us when the sun shines!!! I often tell our patients at the clinic that we are not plants and don’t photosynthesize in the sunshine so we actually need to feed and fuel our bodies in a healthy way. But on sunny mornings, I question that theory because it feels so darn great to be in the sun.

Lately, I have been inspired even more than usual by our patients. A group of patients have started adopting “Wellness Wednesdays”.

These amazing individuals have started taking time on Wednesday mornings to create time for honouring and creating health, happiness and wellness in their lives. One patient thanked me for encouraging him to take a Wellness Wednesday.

He is much more grounded and balanced and as a result more productive, focussed, present, successful for the rest of his week. He remarked how a little self care goes a long way. We have taken Wellness Wednesdays at the clinic since it began. We open at noon on Wednesdays so that staff have time to recharge and care for home, health and happiness. I am so happy some of you are doing the same. A small recharge goes a long way to making you and the week even better.

This little corner of Tsawwassen has become a wellness hub. Another patient went from a stress reduction treatment with me, to decadence at Spa Vilamoura to a hair cut at Myne hair. I can tell you she looked and sounded balanced and radiant when I saw her. She is a lovely reminder that you don’t need to venture far to get amazing support and relaxation. Hawaii is always great; but some real care can be found close by in our beautiful little village.

Delta chipping away at ever-growing wish list 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 a huge and massively expensive wish list for Delta.

Ken Kuntz, Delta’s parks, recreation and culture director, recently discussed his department’s ever-growing list of capital projects with civic politicians.

“There’s always been a good list of projects for (Delta) council’s consideration. As we knock things off, other things get added.

Over my years, I know that we’ve added over $50 million in recreation facilities,” said Kuntz.

His report to council notes it’s important that the list not be perceived as a promise to deliver projects in a specified time period, but rather to recognize that projects have been identified as priorities and that funding opportunities could adjust timelines.

Some of the short-term projects, covering the period 2019 to 2022, include accessible washrooms and other renovations for the

Replacing the Winskill Aquatic & Fitness Centre is part of a lengthy parks and recreation wish list.

South Delta Recreation Centre ($1.25 million), equipment and displays for the new Delta Cultural Centre ($1 million), new universal change rooms at the Sungod Recreation Centre ($4 million), an additional synthetic turf field adjacent to Mackie Park ($5 million), an expanded synthetic turf field and additional parking and Winskill Park ($5.5 million) and a track facility in North Delta ($10 million).

Some of the other shortterm items include replacing playground equipment, sport court resurfacing and a covered lacrosse

box in South Delta.

Medium-term goals include upgrades at John Oliver Park to building a multi-sport indoor racquet facility. That wish list adds up to the tens of millions of dollars. Longer-term items that are even pricier include replacement of the Winskill Aquatic & Fitness Centre, a new seniors’ facility in North Delta and a replacement of the Hillside Boys & Girls Club.

Coun. Robert Campbell, who chairs the parks, recreation and culture commission, noted the shorter term objectives already have a price tag of upwards of $50 million.

went to the dark side and I’m happy to report that I returned unscathed.

My never-ending quest to visit as many racetracks as possible took me to Alberta last week where I visited the soon-to-be-shuttered Northlands Park in Edmonton and the recently-opened Century Downs in Calgary. Both tracks are also home to casinos, or in the case of Century Downs, it’s more like a racetrack is attached to the rear of a gambling hall.

Over the course of five days I spent a considerable amount of time in and around the two casinos — in Edmonton because it had the best food options and in Calgary because you can’t get to the track or the racebook without navigating a sea of slot machines. I’m relieved to tell you that not only wasn’t I robbed, propositioned or poked with a needle, but I always left with gas and food money still in my wallet, although that might not have been the case had I spent more than a cumulative 10 minutes playing the slots.

What struck me most about the two casinos – one of which is shiny and new while the other is a bit of a darkened afterthought – is that both appeared to be playing host to CARP conventions. I didn’t conduct a census but the dividing line between young and old appeared to be whether you required a walking and/or breathing apparatus or if you could accomplish both of those functions on your own.

I admit that I was most often there during the day or the early evening, and neither casino has much in the way of entertainment or dining options that might otherwise attract a younger crowd, but the notion these were somehow dens of iniquity is a stretch beyond all imagination.

That’s not to say pension cheques weren’t being squandered by those in search of that elusive jackpot, but the unsavoury elements, those that are supposed to pull our fair city into the gutter when Gateway opens a casino in Ladner in a couple of years, were difficult to find.

Maybe I wasn’t looking in the right places, or perhaps I was blinded by the glare off all the blue hair, but I didn’t get the sense that the goings on at the casinos were endangering anyone or were sending neighbouring property values into the toilet.

They’re not churches, I get that, but the end of the world is not at hand.

Candidates must define their vision of Delta in the future

I

n order to navigate to a desired location, three things are required: orientation (where you are), direction (where you are going) and destination (where you want to be). Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine where we stand in this perpetually shifting landscape; we only ever seem headed towards the next newsworthy disaster; and no one has any idea where we, as a society or as a community, want to be.

I will be the first to admit that I do not have all the answers, but by breaking down the issue, perhaps we can ask the right questions.

This will be especially important going into October’s civic election. Three primary slates and one independent candidate have emerged, all hoping to steer the future of our city. Each brings a unique perspective that also demonstrates very different ideas about where Delta is and where we are heading.

First, I think it can be fairly stated that everyone running for municipal government believes that Delta is a great place to live and we want to make it better.

Under long-time bureaucrat George Harvie, the Achieving for Delta slate seems to be of the opinion that things are going marvelously and only Harvie’s “stable, steady hand” can stave off

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

chaos and keep Delta on course.

Their proposed direction implies that continuing Delta’s record of debt control and increasing housing density will help keep families in the community, doubling down on the same policies that were in place when unaffordability became an issue.

Coun. Sylvia Bishop’s Team Delta is campaigning on the message that accountability, government spending and economic development are needed to make Delta even better. Bishop’s team, the first to announce, came out swinging on parks and recreation priorities (with a near-term price tag in excess of $50 million), financial transparency and campaign ethics. However, Team Delta’s fiscal framework, not available online, may be relying on uncertain future surplus increases to address wish list projects without resorting to tax-and-

spend tactics.

Finally, Jim Cessford’s Independents Working for You slate is cashing in on the former police chief’s personal brand of integrity in bringing his “no call too small” philosophy to municipal government. Promising to do things “differently” and beating the well-worn drum of increased dialogue and collaboration are fantastic and necessary positions.

Where the slate has come up short thus far is in explaining the particular plans and actions it has identified through its consultations.

Each slate has a unique direction it wants to take Delta, but what I have not seen is a picture of where they want Delta to go.

What this community deserves and desires is a clear vision of the future that we can build together.

By defining the ideal outcome, candidates allow citizens to imagine their place in that future and invite the public to take part in the process of getting from where we are to where we want to be.

Come October, may victory go to the candidates who capture our imagination with dreams of a better tomorrow.

PR protects voters from ideals of a single party If the Conservative party had a platform that appealed to the public at large and candidates to match, it should easily win an election. If the Conservatives can’t bring party ideals to that broadbased level of public support, it doesn’t deserve to win an election.

And if MacDonald thinks the Conservatives could not cooperate along left wing lines perhaps they don’t deserve to govern.

The same should be true for left wing parties.

Government should be about compromise and cooperation in order to achieve community goals that are neither steeped in left or right wing ideology.

Anyone who questions this only needs to look at what is happening south of the border.

In last year’s B.C. election, the Liberals only won 40 per cent of the vote and NDP and Green par-

ties won 57 per cent of the vote. Both NDP and Green parties ran on a platform that included opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Knowing this, it is totally unreasonable to suggest the majority of B.C. residents support the pipeline. One only has to look at the election results to realize any poll stating otherwise is not necessarily accurate.

To suggest an NDP coalition government would bankrupt Ontario is once again a one-sided viewpoint that does not carry any substance. One only needs to look at the very conservative Liberal government legacy here in B.C. It shows us that any party can do irreparable damage to both the economy and community.

As such the possibility of proportional representation looks really promising. It protects all voters from a single party ideal.

Peter van der Velden

Only political losers demand switch

Editor: Re: Voters have an opportunity to modernize our democracy, Community Comment, July 5 ML Burke appears to be confused with respect to what Ontario voters “came away with.” Moreover, perhaps she ought to rethink her idea of what democracy is and how it is obtained and protected.

In Ontario, as she states, “60 per cent ... came away empty handed.” Rather than what she suggests, my view is that those 60 per-centers plus the 40 per-centers “came away” with more money in their pockets due to Doug Ford’s orders to cut the fat out of the provincial budget and return some semblance of sanity to the provincial public service by getting rid of the unnecessary individuals and frills entrenched by the spendthrift Liberals better known as socialists.

Attempting to con-

nect her favourite proportional representation with democracy is not only a farce but also an insult to those who fought for Canada’s democracy.

For Burke’s edification, democracy is defined as being “a system of government by the whole population, usually through elected representatives.”

Regardless of the system in use, that is what an election determines.

To suggest “the current system ... is outdated and under siege” is more than merely being facetious, it is demeaning. How, one wonders, is the very act of voting for a representative “outdated and under siege.”

It is only the political losers who attempt to find fault with the current first past the post system and demand a switch to proportional representation.

Granted, with the first past the post method there can be, and often are, majority governments

elected by a minority of the total but that in and of itself is not a crime, nor is it a fault of the system; what it means is the majority of voters opted to support a different party of which there were too few to gain the majority such as was the case in Ontario but not the case currently in BC where the socialist three-member tail is wagging the dog and in so doing is creating a mess.

Twice previously, B.C. has said a resounding no to proportional representation and hopefully will again.

As to the poor turnout at election time, perhaps if political parties presented reasonable, well-thoughtout programs that engaged more people, then more would turn out to vote.

As it is, most elections in this country are poor cousins of common sense and elicit about as much thought as which pair of socks one ought to wear.

Former mayor urges council to delay casino vote

Editor: There is a considerable groundswell of dissatisfaction in South Delta over Delta council’s decision to proceed with fourth reading in support of the casino as early as July 30.

There will be change on council after the fall election. The casino will have significant long-term effect on the future of Delta and will likely be a serious election issue.

Fourth reading, future

negotiations and/or change of this nature should be left in the hands of Delta voters who will live with the long-term consequences of Delta with or without a casino.

Editor: Re: Minority already calling the shots and it will get worse, letter to the editor, July 12 It’s always of interest to me to see strongly stated opinions based on so little actual information or facts.

Yes, we all have belief systems and we carry those forth based on personal ideology. This generally carries on into our political beliefs and how we view the world.

However, when we share those beliefs in public comments it behooves us to look at a reality that encompasses opposing views. If not, we’re really just carrying forth prejudice and biased information.

Curtis MacDonald states in his letter that it would be impossible for the Conservatives to win an election under a PR system. If we think about this statement, it is really easy to see this is just not true.

MLA’s Report IAN PATON

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DISPOSE OF AN INTEREST IN MUNICIPAL PROPERTY (Pursuant to Sections 26 and 94 of the Community Charter)

Take notice that City of Delta intends to lease for a fixed term of one year the following lands and premises: Civic address:

8486 112 Street, Delta, British Columbia

Legal Description:

Parcel Identifier: 000-497-711 Lot 165 Land District 36 Section 25 Township 4 Plan 53502

The property comprises an approximately 5,100 square foot, residential lot containing a 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom house with an attached garage.

THIS NOTICE IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND AN INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO MAKE INQUIRIES REGARDING THE POTENTIAL LEASE OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED PROPERTY. Parties interested in leasing the property should contact Luke Bowley at Re/Max Performance Realty Ltd. (604.590.4888) for additional information and to obtain a tenant application form.

All other inquiries should be directed to Mel Cheesman, Solicitor (604.946.3234 or mcheesman@delta.ca).

On the one-year anniversary since the NDP formed government in British Columbia, I believe it’s time for a performance review.

As a member of the official Opposition, I have several areas of concern with regards to the direction the province is heading, but most alarming to me is the complete lack of progress on a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel.

Almost a year after construction was halted, there is no line item for a tunnel replacement in the NDP

budget for the next three years, and we are still waiting to hear back from the results of their redundant review.

I’m also worried about how residents and businesses will cope with $8 billion in tax increases.

Carbon tax, gas tax, health tax, family homes tax, corporate tax, cabin tax… our community is being taxed to death.

Local farmers, in particular, will feel the full brunt of increases to the carbon tax and minimum wage.

I recently spoke with local grower Trevor Harris.

He told me that with all these extra fuel charges, his diesel bill has gone through the roof. Having raised the carbon tax as well as the regional gas tax, the NDP has put Harris’ business in a precarious position.

Matei Ghelesel, president and COO of Sonic Enclosures at Tilbury Industrial Park, is also feeling the effects of NDP tax hikes. Sonic is a great example of a local com-

pany that goes above and beyond for its employees.

When it can, it tries and help out with purchasing work boots or covering the costs of extra training for staff. With the new employer health tax, Ghelesel has told me these types of initiatives will have to be cut.

Other disappointments include the loss of 43,500 private sector jobs over the past year, broken promises on the implementation of ride sharing, and the NDP government’s obstruction of the rule of law, resulting in the federal purchase of the Kinder Morgan pipeline and loss of business confidence in B.C. My job as MLA is to continue to shed light on these issues and hold this government to account for the disturbing direction it is taking our province.

We’ve seen this movie before — job losses, tax hikes and perks for union buddies were common themes in the 1990s.

Spoiler alert: the sequel is always worse.

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

The son is a camping convert.

Well, perhaps not so much a convert as a fairly recent fan. After all, we were never a family to fill the cooler or pitch a tent.

We were more inclined to go places that had indoor swimming pools, television sets and complimentary shampoo.

But then the son became enamoured with a gal who has camping in her blood. Bingo. He became smitten with the gal and completely hooked on camping.

Of late, he’s been trying to lure us on board.

“We should all go camping together this summer,” he suggested the other day. “It’s so much fun. You would love it.”

I wasn’t entirely convinced.

Sure, I like looking at stars. But I also like soaker tubs and microwaves.

The son assured me he had everything we’d need.

A Coleman stove. A lantern. A tent. A tarp.

“A tarp?” I asked.

“Yes,” he said. “In case it rains.”

He and the gal pal also had all the cooking gear we’d need. And they had sleeping bags. And folding chairs. And flashlights.

“Flashlights?” I asked.

“Yes,” he said. “In case you need to make your way to the washroom after dark.”

Oh, I thought. That sounds like fun.

When you go camping, I asked the son, don’t you risk running into wildlife?

“Maybe,” said the son.

“What’s wrong with wildlife?”

“It’s WILD!” I said.

“That’s why they call it wildlife! It’s not called tame life!”

The son did not seem terribly concerned, but suggested I might want to bring along some bear spray if it made me feel better.

“Oh, and bug repellent,” he added. “You’ll want to bring some of that.”

bug repellent,” said the son. “And not if you wear clothing that covers your arms and legs.”

What a blast, I thought.

A full-on suit of armour in

the middle of summer.

I was beginning to wonder where the fun part came in.

“Well,” said the son. “It’s fun to sit around and play

cards on the picnic table.

It’s fun to hike around the campsite. It’s fun to roast marshmallows.”

OK, I said to the son, we’d go camping, but per-

haps not for a bit.

I need to wait until there’s a foolproof bug spray on the market.

Something like that could take years.

Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc. (CAPTIN) would like to congratulate and thank our President, Al Hossack, on his retirement after 34 years of service with Toyota.

Al began his career with Toyota as a production worker in 1985 where he was quickly assigned to supervisory positions in our manufacturing operations of Aluminum wheels. After extensive training in Japan and B.C.I.T., Al was given responsibility of all Manufacturing in 1996.

He returned to CAPTIN in 2003 as General Manager and oversaw the Plant and a $40 million expansion project. After the project completion, Al was again transferred to Toyota’s Casting operation, Bodine Aluminum Inc, in St Louis MO. After great success as Plant General Manager, Mr. Hossack was transferred to Bodine’s operations in Jackson TN. to oversee the Manufacture of 2 million engine blocks and .7 million transmissions per year for Toyota vehicles.

In 2014 Al was asked to return to CAPTIN as President to strengthen the wheel manufacturing operation. Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc. has now returned to profitability with a strong management Team, which led Mr. Hossack to decide to retire.

Al is very proud to be part of the Toyota Family and is very grateful for the opportunities and challenges he has been given during his career with Toyota.

He is thankful to all the wonderful people who have helped him over the years and hopes he was able to help others.

Al plans to golf and travel with Carmen his supportive wife of 38 years, and we wish him all the best.

Mr. Tomio Okamura, Vice president of Toyota Casting operations, will be dual-capped as President of CAPTIN while overseeing the operation from St Louis MO. Senior Managers, David Heslop and Lynn Haley, will have the responsibility for daily operations and administration at CAPTIN.

‘New’ neighbours all around

Oh, who are the people in your neighbourhood?

In your neighbourhood?

In your neighbourhood?

Say, who are the people in your neighbourhood?

The people that you meet each day.

A Sesame Street song from many years ago and still sung today for children, but how often do we, as adults, think this way.

In a world where many people meet through the Internet first for personal, professional or purchasing purposes, how often are we purposefully aware of meeting the people in our neighbourhoods in a person-to-person, face-toface way?

It happened today when I finally gave in to a curiosity that a business sign

Minister’s Minute DANIEL KIRKEGAARD

Tsawwassen United Church

has risen in me for a few years now. Looking for that miraculous answer to the need to lose some weight, I entered the clinic to inquire about how cool sculpting actually works.

I could have researched it online but I just decided to

ask in person and in doing so met some new-to-me neighbours.

I was reminded, from those new-to-me neighbours, that I still have to put into practice the discipline and mindset to eat healthy, exercise and lose the weight. Freezing the weight off doesn’t work. Should I know that already? Of course I should, but it was nice to meet new people and actually talk about it.

It got me thinking: maybe some people would like to have a face-to-face neighborly conversation about how our spiritual life works instead of just waiting for that miraculous shift to kick in.

My door is always open, neighbour.

As soon as the opening ceremonies had taken place, the Ladner Rotary Splash Park in Memorial Park was filled with youngsters looking to try the new equipment.

New splash park put to immediate use Ladner Rotary Club and city team up to create wet and wonderful amenity in Memorial Park Thousands of children and their families, including those now using the new Lois E. Jackson Kinsmen Centre For Children next door, will be playing their way through summers at no cost for many years to come thanks to the opening of the Ladner Rotary Splash Park earlier this month.

Over five years in development, the new splash park in Memorial Park, which replaces an older version sponsored

by Kinsmen, features a child-friendly, no-slip rubberized surface, a water conserving system using

timed controls and all new water play equipment.

The theme of the play area honours the local farming community with farm related play features and 10 storyboards around the park.

The Rotary Club of Ladner, which initiated the project, and the City of Delta, which became a partner, developed the Ladner Rotary Splash Park with the support of many sponsors and individuals.

This splash park is the biggest project undertaken

by Delta’s original Rotary club, which has served the community for 61 years

through Rotary’s network of 1.3 million members in 35,000 clubs worldwide.

Rotary Club of Ladner raised its share of almost $300,000 for the project from the club, itself, through annual calendar lottery sales and individual members, from Rotary District 5040 (51 clubs from Greater Vancouver up the coast to Prince Rupert) and The Rotary Foundation, and many other sponsors, such as Westshore Terminals and, representing the farming community, Delta Agricultural Society and six greenhouse producers.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson says three years ago Delta council formally agreed to a partnership with Ladner Rotary, once the service club had built significant support of sponsors.

“Built in 1990, the old water park was sadly outdated,” says Jackson.

“Constructed of concrete as its base [slippery and tough on children when falling], it was using our precious water supply quite inefficiently. Now the new splash park presents you with very efficient features: a rubberized surface, the area is fully

accessible [no fence] and the footprint is much larger than the original splash park.”

Ladner Rotary Club president Kerry-Lynne Findlay says: “Rotary Club of Ladner has been devoted to serving the Ladner community and Delta for 61 years. We promote youth leadership and connect young leaders through education and humanitarian service.

We provide the platform for successful women and men of all ethnicities, faiths and cultures to make the world a better place through volunteer

service.”

Irene Forcier, chair of the Ladner Rotary Splash Park committee, says one of the project’s goals, aside from giving the community a needed play area for children and families, was honouring the local farming community.

“Farmers over the years have made this community a place to visit to see our beautiful fields, to taste our wonderful vegetables and fruits,” says Forcier.

“We’re very, very proud of them. We couldn’t really be the community that we are without our farming community.”

Earthwise works with various seniors’ groups to arrange excursions to the garden where seniors participate in fun, personalized activities.

The Wexford seniors began their visit with a leisurely guided tour of the Earthwise Garden, which was in full bloom on a sunny, warm afternoon.

Besides being spectacular this time of year, the garden is also accessible, which makes it an ideal venue for a seniors’ walk.

The paths, which meander gently through beds of bright blossoms, are wide and easy to maneuver.

After their tour, the seniors relaxed on the Five Senses Patio, listening to the bird songs and

Physical therapy a vital part of treatment and recovery

Physical therapists are licensed healthcare professionals who must receive a degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking national licensure exams that enable them to open a practice or work in a facility. They employ various physical modalities to help with certain conditions. For example, a patient may be asked to perform various range-of-motion exercises to restore function to an injured part of the body. Physical therapists also may use heat, cold and electrical impulses to reduce pain and stimulate muscle function. Sessions frequently include some form of massage as well.

Very often physical therapy will be recommended by a general doctor or an orthopedic surgeon as part of recovery from a surgery or a condition. The therapist may work in conjunction with another doctor to provide a program that helps foster a faster and safe recovery.

Physical therapy tends to begin gradually and resistance is slowly built up as the body strengthens. The length of physical therapy will depend on the condition and the recommendation of the therapist and doctors overseeing the treatments.

The American Physical Therapy Association says physical therapists diagnose and treat individuals of all ages who have conditions that limit their abilities to perform functional activities.

Limitations in mobility may result from injury or illness or be present at birth.

Many physical therapists develop a plan to reduce pain and restore function through various treatment techniques with the ultimate goal of restoring a patient’s functional independence.

While athletes frequently rely on physical therapy as they recover from injuries, others can benefit from it as well. For example, physical therapy may work in conjunction with other treatments for cardiopulmonary disease.

The cardiopulmonary system delivers oxygen to active tissues, which plays an important part in movement. When the cardiopulmonary system is compromised, muscles and other tissues may not function as they should, and certain exercises and mobility therapies may be needed.

Physical therapists also aid in improving physical ailments related to neurological diseases, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. They may also help treat poor vision, poor balance and paralysis.

Caring for dentures improves oral health

Proper dental care and oral hygiene is essential at all stages in life, even for people who have dentures, partials or implants. People with dentures must recognize that oral hygiene protects their dentures as well as their mouths.

The Canadian Denture & Implant Centres says that 16 percent of the population wear dentures.

Removable dentures require care to keep them clean and in good repair.

Servicing dentures also helps ensure wearers’ mouths stay healthy. Follow these guidelines to keep dentures clean.

~ Handle with care. Dentures are strong, but they are not impervious to damage. Treat them with care while handling, being sure not to bend or damage any clasps when cleaning, and try not to drop the dentures. ~ Brush daily. False teeth need to be brushed, so don’t trade in your toothbrush just yet. Brushing will help remove food deposits and prevent staining. ~ Take a break. Remove dentures before going to bed and soak the dentures in warm water or special denture cleansers. Removing dentures for six to eight hours allows tissue inside the mouth to recover. Soaking helps to remove stains, bacteria and

tartar. The Mayo Clinic notes that most dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape, so do not allow them to dry out. ~ Clean your mouth. While dentures are removed, use gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean the tongue, palate and cheeks. If you still have any natural teeth, use a soft-bristled brush to cleanse. Always rinse dentures before returning them to your mouth. ~ Schedule regular dental visits.

Dentists can advise how frequently to have dentures checked for fit and professional cleaning. Loose dentures can cause sores and infection, so it’s best to address any issues regarding fitting promptly. Dentists also will inspect the inside of the mouth for signs of disease or irritation. ~ Eat healthy foods. Make sure to eat a well-balanced diet to keep the body and mouth healthy. ~ Cut up hard foods like fresh fruits and vegetables if dentures are impacting your ability to eat these foods.

People of all ages rely on partial or complete dentures to maintain their smiles. Routine care is necessary to keep the dentures intact and mouths healthy.

During Canada Day

homage to Delta’s agricultural heritage.

The foundation entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the City of Delta for up to $200,000, but according to Matt Rogers from the foundation, the funding fell short.

“The Delta Agricultural Society really came through for us,” said Rogers.

The agricultural display barn is located just beyond a grove of nut trees behind the historic Kirkland House on Arthur Drive. The major piece of equipment on display is the original 1923 Kirkland Farm thrashing machine that had been stored in a barn in East Delta.

“That kept this important piece of heritage in Delta, so that was a real incentive for us to start this project originally,” said Rogers. “We are working on putting in a few more pieces of equipment that will complement the thrashing machine. Some of the newer equipment, from say the World War Two era to 1960, will also go inside. But we don’t want to pack the space. We want people to be able to come inside, look around and move around the displays with ease.”

Rogers said the donation from the Delta Agricultural Society allows them to complete the final detail work and finish the displays.

The public can check out the displays on Wednesday mornings and Saturdays when the Kirkland House grounds are open.

Pride picnic set for Memorial

First pride event in Delta to be held in Ladner park on B.C. Day long weekend 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 grassroots social media effort has resulted in the creation of Delta’s first pride event.

The inaugural Delta Pride Picnic will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4 from 3 to 6 p.m. in Ladner’s Memorial Park. The picnic will feature food, games and activities, guest speakers and a chance to come together for a fun afternoon as a community.

Kutrina Mosch, a new resident to South Delta, started the ball rolling a few weeks ago. She and her kids moved to South Delta in May. One of her children is on the LGBTQ rainbow and is featured in a documentary film that will be part of the Vancouver Queer Film Festival in August.

“All of a sudden I had people message me and it snowballed from there,” she said. “There is a core group of four who are actively making all the

decisions behind the scenes, but I have received messages from more than 15 others who wanted to help volunteer. It’s going to be an amazing day of different activities.”

As a first-time event, the organizing committee needs to raise money

for the rental of the site, insurance, picnic supplies, decorations and more.

Those wishing to donate can do so at: https://www. gofundme.com/southdelta-pride-picnicbbq.

“Any extra monies raised and not used during the event will be donated

to Covenant House as the charity of choice picked by the organizing team,” said Mosch. “We hope that some local businesses will also get behind this event and maybe help by donating some supplies or some food. Anything would help to make this event a success.”

More volunteers are also needed and details can be found at the DeltaPridePicnic Facebook page.

“We just want to put on a family-friendly event to celebrate diversity and inclusion in Delta,” Mosch said. “Our goal this year is to raise awareness of the LGBTQ+ community within Delta and to connect those within the community with one another in a safe, family-friendly environment where everyone — from the young to the young-at-heart — can have fun and enjoy an afternoon picnic in the park.”

The City of Delta is offering guided heritage walking tours for the first time this summer.

Delta parks, recreation and culture education coordinator Stephanie Haddaway said the tour program is a way for the community to remain connected with its past.

“We are ramping up our programming in preparation for the new cultural centre and looking at providing different services and build interest in history and heritage,” said Haddaway. “This is a chance to bring natural heritage into what we are doing.”

The first two tours were held earlier this month in Port Guichon and Ladner’s Landing. She said both were well attended.

“The tours are designed for the whole family. Bring your dogs and enjoy learning about history and the

Starting at Cammidge House in Boundary Bay Regional Park, the tour will provide information about the natural history, people and industries of Boundary Bay.

Two other tours will take place in early August in North Delta -- Thursday, Aug. 9 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and Saturday, Aug. 11 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. The starting point for the tours is the Tidewaters Liquor

Store, 10190 River Rd. For millennia the Fraser has shaped the land and the people living along its banks. The tour will explore the history of the Fraser and explain how it’s shaped the community.

Geof Dolejsi is organizing this Saturday’s show at the Tsawwassen Legion.

All-ages punk show at Tsawwassen Legion 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 Tsawwassen Legion will be the place to be this Saturday night for an allages punk rock show.

Tsawwassen’s Geof Dolejsi, who came up with the idea for the show and will be hosting it, said he hopes it’s the first in a series of concerts that kids, teens and adults can enjoy in a safe and welcoming environment.

Dolejsi grew up in Tsawwassen, attending Pebble Hill Elementary and then South Delta Secondary. While growing up he skateboarded and was drawn to music, playing drums in various punk rock bands and attending all-ages shows. Music has always been a huge part of his life.

Now married with two

kids, he has moved back to South Delta to raise his family.

He is still very involved in music.

“When we moved back to Tsawwassen I talked to some kids at skate parks and noticed that there was not a lot for teens to do.

That was the same problem when I was growing up here,” he said.

“I started trying to put together some all-ages shows to get kids pumped up about music the way music did for me when I was a teen.”

Continuing to talk to teens and adults in the community and trying to find the right venue, Dolejsi came across the Legion and it seemed like a great fit.

“The Legion is looking for new ways to get people in. They have a restaurant

licence so kids are allowed but you can still buy alcohol as an adult,” he said.

“It is in a great location as loud punk music won’t bother people in the night time hours and transit to/from is just a couple minutes walk away. You also don’t need to be a member of the Legion, so everyone is welcome,” he added.

Admission to the show is $10, which will go to pay the bands. Any remaining funds will be used to help promote and get bands for the next show.

“I want these shows to be a safe place for teens to hang out and enjoy some awesome punk music and hopefully get inspired,” he said.

The show will run from 7 to 10 p.m. The Tsawwassen Legion is at 22-1835-56th St.

About every 3 hours, a person or vehicle is hit by a train.

Stay Safe. When you’re near railroad tracks, always obey all posted signs and signals, and follow a few simple rules: Stay off railroad bridges. Most bridges do not have safe walkways for people so if a train is approaching, the only options are to jump or be struck by the train.

Never try to walk through a railroad tunnel. There is only about 14 inches of clearance between a passing train and the walls.

Stay at least 10 feet away from tracks.

Trains are wider than their tracks so always keep a safe distance.

Turn world into playground in gym club parkour clinic

July to August

Delta Gymnastics is once again offering a three-day parkour clinic for children and youth.

Whether kids are looking to push their physical abilities, challenge their skills or learn some new moves, parkour opens up the world and spaces like a giant playground.

The clinic runs from Aug. 10 to 12.

“We are very happy that we have Tyler Chassie returning from Alberta to lead these clinics,” said Diane Steiner, community program coordinator at Delta Gymnastics.

Chassie is a professional speed competition athlete who has participated at the World Freerunning and Parkour Federation (WFPF) Jump Off in Las Vegas. He has been a parkour performer and instructor for seven years.

Originating in France in the 1980s, parkour increases everyday health, function and fall prevention. It is described as a natural method of training the body to move easily

“Parkour is for everyone and all you need is a pair of shoes and some imagination,” said Steiner.

She said the clinic will go over some of the more commonly used parkour techniques like rolls, vaults, climbs, safety falls, flips and more.

The clinic costs $75 for all three days. Ages seven to 11 are from 4 to 5:30 p.m. or 6 to 7:30 p.m., while ages 12 to 14+ are from 7:30 to 9 p.m. There is also a clinic for ages six to seven, which will run from 3 to 4 p.m. and costs $50.

Amanda Minni playing for a national championship next week at Beach Grove MARK BOOTH

Amanda Minni’s final tournament as a junior only happens to be on her home course with a national championship on the line.

The 18-year-old from Tsawwassen will be among the contenders when the Canadian Junior Girls Golf Championship gets underway next Tuesday at Beach Grove Golf Club. The 72-hole event features the top up-and-coming talent from across the country.

Minni finished third at the recent B.C. Junior Girls Championship in Kimberley, a result that puts her on Team B.C. at nationals.

She’s playing at this week’s Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship at Marine Drive as part of her busy summer schedule since returning home from her freshman season at Oregon State University.

Minni has been playing as many practice rounds as she can on a course she grew up on for what will be a special week with many family and friends in the gallery. The last major women’s competition at Beach Grove was the B.C. Amateur two years ago when Minni finished tied for 10th while coming off a wrist injury.

“I think that tournament will really help me. Just dealing with the pressure and people watching,” she said. “I’m looking forward to everyone who comes out and using the motivation from them towards my game.”

Minni has taken a different approach to her recent practice rounds on Beach Grove’s 6,005-yard, par-72 layout as she prepares for tournament play.

the summer before heading back to Oregon State for her sophomore season. She has thoroughly enjoyed the NCAA and team golf environment.

“I honestly just loved it. I loved my team and we are all like super close friends,” she said. “(In NCAA) they basically do it all for you. You just have to perform and if you don’t you feel bad because that’s what you are there for. It gives you more drive and a goal to reach because you want to make them proud and support your team.”

OSU is unique in that the campus is located in the somewhat rural setting of Corvallis. Minni has had the opportunity to soak in the college town atmosphere and attend a number of OSU games, including the national champion baseball team.

Invaders get on playoff roll to claim Canada Cup gold

South Delta Invaders saved their best fastball for the playoffs, capturing the gold medal at the 2018 Canada Cup women’s fastpitch tournament in Surrey last weekend.

During four days of competition, the Invaders played nine games in the

U19B Futures Select division.

They went 3-2 in round robin to place eighth out of 22 teams.

In their first knock-out playoff game, South Delta beat View Royal 6-3. That set up a quarter-final game against top seed Parskville

Rage, who were undefeated.

The Invaders took an early lead, scoring five runs in the second inning en route to a 7-3 win.

In the semi-final, the Invaders faced the number four seed Fleetwood Force, who proved to be

no match as the Invaders mercied them 10-0 in four innings.

That set the stage for a tough final against Richmond Islanders.

The game started with catcher Rachel Schultz hitting a line drive to centre field on the first pitch.

Mekaya Colina doubled a 2-0 count scoring two runs.

South Delta scored four more runs in the third inning, getting RBIs from Kali Matei, Dannica Desgroseilliers,

Abby Foster and Shaelyn Claybo. Claybo and Desgroseilliers each pitched half the game, keeping the Islanders from mounting a comeback.

Colina led the team at shortstop defensively and had three hits and two RBIs in the 7-3 win.

The Canada Cup is one of the largest fastpitch tournaments in the world, which this year drew 91 teams from the U.S., China, Japan, Philippines, New Zealand and across Canada.

Team Canada defeated Colorado 3-1 to win their first Canada Cup title since 1996.

The winning Invaders team included: coaches Lance Claybo and Peter Hibrant; and players Brooklyn Mosher, Dannica Desgroseilliers, Shaelyn Claybo, Rachel Schultz, Kennedy Tyndall, Abby Foster, Emma Miller, Kali Matei, Jenaya Basi, Mekaya Colina, Erin Monastersky, Callie Wolsey, Stephanie Jope and bat girl Rachael Silvestrone.

The Heat finished the round robin portion of the tournament with a 4-1 record which saw them seeded fourth of 22 teams in the Futures Gold division.

After reeling off wins in the first couple rounds of playoffs, they fell to the undefeated U19 Chinese Taipei team. The loss forced the Heat to go the back door route towards the finals, where they defeated the New Zealand Jr. White Sox and the

NLL veteran joins Pioneers for potential run to national title Peter McFetridge impressed by level of play in senior ‘B’ league

Congratulations to

KIEWEN CLAYTON - BLACK

MARK BOOTH

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

Peter McFetridge is getting his first close-up look at senior “B” lacrosse and he is impressed.

The 10-year National Lacrosse League defender is trying to help the Ladner Pioneers advance to the President’s Cup national championships for the second straight year after joining the club a few weeks ago.

“This is great lacrosse,” he smiled. “I said I was coming (to Ladner) and this is what I wanted to do.

I’m happy to be here and help these young kids.”

The 32-year-old already had plenty of connections to Delta Lacrosse.

Growing up in Richmond, there were no hometown options to play the field version of the game so he came through the tunnel to be part of the Delta Footmen program.

He was also a call up for the Junior “A” Islanders when he was playing intermediate. However, his fulltime junior stint ended up with what was a dynasty in Burnaby where he won a Minto Cup national title with the Lakers.

More recently, McFetridge worked last season as an assistant coach with the Junior Islanders.

“That’s when (Pioneers head coach) Ross (Frehlick) started getting into my ear about playing senior ‘B,’” he laughed. “I had started a new career

McFetridge thought he might see even more familiar NLL faces when he arrived in Ladner.

A couple of homegrown standouts suggested they may be part of the push for the President’s Cup too, including former Calgary Roughneck Andrew McBride until he found out he was going to be a father again.

Instead, McFetridge will see some familiar faces on opposing senior “B” teams, such as NLL playoff MVP Jeff Shattler who played with him in Calgary before taking his career to Saskatchewan.

Shattler is now playing for Nanaimo, which hosts the President’s Cup. “I think a lot of it has to do with the NLL extending

their season as it becomes more and more treated like a professional league.

Used to be just a little bit of homework then show up. Now there is way more film during the week, training with players, practicing on Fridays and playing on the weekend.

Instead of a four-month league, it’s more like a seven-month league and playing WLA on top of that can wear guys down,” McFetridge explained.

While he’s being counted on as a shutdown player, the 6-foot-3 McFetridge thrives in transition play too like the key goal he scored in the season finale win over Victoria.

Series underway

The Pioneers’ march to the President’s Cup started last night in Ladner as they opened a best-of-five West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association semi-final playoff series against Coquitlam (after Optimist press deadline).

Game two is Saturday in Coquitlam with game three back in Ladner on Monday, July 30 at 8 p.m. If game four is needed, it would be in Coquitlam on Aug. 1 with a potential game five in Ladner on Aug. 2.

Say hello to Evita

Please meet Evita, a snuggle bug who will want to be with you all the time. This girl is a seven year young chihuahua mix who weighs about ten pounds. She is good with cats and small dogs, but we’re not sure about big dogs yet. Evita is an escape artist who snuck out through a first story window so she’ll need a human who is a little bit smarter than she is! Because she is a little shy and can be timid, Evita would probably be happier in a home with older children, single person or couple. Even though she isn’t a fan of being picked up and carried around, she will cheerfully demand cuddles and pets. Evita loves to play with her toys, and tosses them around in the air while she flips out on her back. Her foster thinks she would make an amazing emotional support animal; even though Evita has little interest in strangers, she gravitated towards a friend when he needed someone to cuddle and pet. As with all our dogs, she is spayed and up to date on all shots, vaccines and is microchipped. If you would like to arrange to meet lovely Evita, please email us at pbandchi@gmail.com

NATTRASS, Blanche.

1924 - 2018 Blanche Nattrass, age 94, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 15th 2018. Blanche was born in 1924 in Ogema, Saskatchewan to a loving family with three brothers and a sister. She spent her childhood on the farm, enjoying the wide open spaces of the prairies, wholesome family meals (which she credited with her excellent health), and weekend nights dancing with her brothers until the wee hours of the morning.

She married Sheldon Nattrass in 1948 and they made the move to Vancouver to raise their family.

Blanche was a loving and caring mother of two daughters Gail and Joy; two grandchildren Jessie and Colton. Blanche was predeceased by her daughter Gail; brothers Chester, Ken, and Harold.

She is survived by her sister Bernice Larson; her daughter Joy (Gary) Ryan; her granddaughter Jessie (Danny) Ryan; grandson Colton (Lauren) Ryan and numerous nieces and nephews.

Blanche loved to be outdoors among the blue sky and her beautiful plants often saying “ I feel like a new person after spending even 10 minutes outside”. A social butterfly, Blanche frequented weekly bridge games and enjoyed meeting old friends at the Sylvia Hotel for tea. Blanche loved dancing under the stars in Stanley Park and thoroughly enjoyed the music of Dal Richards and his big band orchestra. Quick to smile, quick to laugh, quick to love - Blanche will always be remembered among her loving family and countless friends.

We invite you to join us and share your memories of Blanche.

A celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 19, 2018 at 2 p.m. at 5120 Cliff Drive, Delta, B.C.

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Jo-Ann Trudy Berg. Jo-Ann was a loving mother, wife, and best friend. She is survived by her husband Ian, daughters Lisa Manwaring and Kristie Berg McDermott, grandson Jacob Manwaring, sisters Carol and Judy, also many nieces and nephews. Jo-Ann was born in Winnipeg and moved to Thunder Bay when was married. She and her husband moved to Vancouver in 1976 and lived there ever since. Jo-Ann loved her home and her family above anything and will be greatly missed.

Our shining light has faded away.

REMEMBRANCES

OBITUARIES

ANNOUNCEMENTS

It is with great sadness that the Skolrood family announces the passing of Irene Marie Skolrood (Nee Richard), 77, loving wife and mother on Monday July 9, 2018 at Vancouver General Hospital from cancer.

Irene was born September 25, 1940 in Rexton, NB, the daughter of Emile and Hélène Richard. She lived in Rexton, NB, for a few years before moving to Newcastle (now Miramichi) NB. It was there that she met her future husband, Wayne, May 17, 1960.

They were married Sep 8, 1962. The family lived in Newcastle and Sackville, NB then Regina, SK, Sherwood Park, AB, finally settling in Ladner, BC, in 1972. Irene was a successful real estate sales person for many years enjoying the challenge and satisfaction of helping people find homes. Irene lived life to the fullest enjoying travel, chatting with friends, card games, watching her children’s sports when they were young. Her favourite activity was thinking of, finding, organizing and supervising various house renovations for her husband. She is survived by her husband of almost 56 years, Wayne, sons Robert (Michelle), Richard (Kumiko) and Troy, grandchildren Risha, Emi and Hunter, her brothers, Bernard (Julie), Paul (Joanne), Patrick (Helene) Richard, nieces and nephews, Erika (Douglas) Eberhardt, John, Jeffrey (Sherry), Lisa, Joseph (Kelly), Anna Marie and André Richard, Jessica (Charlotte) and Joanne Keats, brother-in-law, John Keats, grand nieces and nephews, Daniel, Alexander and Thomas Richard, Rae and Leanne Melvin, Lucas and Amelia Herman.

Special thanks go to Dr. David Kason, her family doctor and Dr. Tamara Shenkier, oncologist and the staff at the BC Cancer Institute for the excellent care provided to Irene through her long battle with cancer.

Services will be held Friday, August 3, 2018 at 1:00 PM at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Rd, Delta, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Irene’s name to the BC Cancer Foundation (https://bit.ly/2mcoaJd).

GEDDES, John Lavrock April 16, 1930 July 9, 2018

SKOLROOD, Irene Marie

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of John Geddes.

He is lovingly survived by Barbara, his best friend and wife of 66 years, and their four children Susan Khazaie (Sirous), Pam Geddes (Vaibhav), Mark Geddes (Linda) and Jennifer Mah (Sherman). John leaves many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss their “Ga”. He will be remembered for his strong sense of family and commitment to others who are less fortunate. John lived his life with honour and integrity and was deeply loved.

John was born in Winnipeg, grew up in Calgary and attended Royal Roads in Victoria, which is where he met the love of his life Barbara. After graduation, John became a banker with CIBC. Life as a banker involved several moves to many communities in BC, Alberta, Seattle and Ontario. While in Ontario, he attended McMaster University, as well as an executive training program at MIT. John retired as Vice President of CIBC Oil and Gas Division at the head office in Toronto in 1990. Upon retirement, John and Barbara made sunny Tsawwassen their home. Many friendships enriched their lives through participation in the Banff Investment Club and the Tsawwassen community, including the United Church, Probus and Royal Oaks. They shared many adventures with family and friends as they cruised local waters aboard their boat Serendipity.

This twosome also enjoyed many wonderful trips abroad. Their cabin on Bainbridge Island was the hub of family gatherings, during which a lifetime of happy memories were created for all of John’s family.

John is predeceased by his parents, Harold and Margaret Geddes, and his brothers, Robert and David. The family wishes to thank his family physician Dr. Tom Martin and Dr. Gin at VGH for their outstanding care.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
