Mayor seeks council seat Lois Jackson points to unfinished business for decision to join Harvie slate SANDOR GYARMATI

Carriers Needed

One of the worst kept secrets in Delta has been made official with Mayor Lois Jackson confirming she’ll be running with George Harvie’s slate in next month’s civic election.

Jackson, who filed her nomination papers Monday along with the rest of the Achieving for Delta slate, will be seeking a Delta council seat in the Oct. 20 election.

Jackson is coming to the end of her sixth term as Delta’s mayor. Prior to serving in that role for the past 19 years, Jackson spent a quarter-century as a councillor.

She told the Optimist she thought long and hard about staying in civic politics, having already decided she won’t run for mayor again for several reasons, including being able to spend more time assisting her daughter who has medical challenges.

“I’ve talked to my kids and family. I’ve talked to a lot of people, trying to visualize what it would be like and I’ve decided to go for council,” she said.

“One of the main reasons is there’s still lots of work to do.”

Jackson said issues that require attention include lobbying for improved transit, a new crossing of

“We have a wonderful community and I’ve worked really hard for over 40 years to get us this way and I wouldn’t want to just walk away without leaving that ability to transition.

It goes right back to that adage ‘service before self’ and that’s what I was taught and always tried to follow.”

In fact, the race to replace retiring Mayor Lois Jackson has doubled in size as six candidates are declared now that independents Moneca Kolvyn, Alex Megalos and Vytas Vaitkus have joined Sylvia Bishop, Jim Cessford and George Harvie.

A long-time North Delta resident, Jackson was the first woman elected to Delta council in 1972 and has served continuously except for one term.

A political survivor, Jackson, who also served for several years as Metro Vancouver chair, has run with a variety of slates as well as an independent over her years on council.

She has long been considered a populist and her longevity in civic politics has often been credited to her ability to adapt to a changing landscape.

The race for six council seats has grown to 18 candidates after Chen Du filed nomination papers. Du is one of four independents, while 14 other council candidates are affiliated

in the mid-1990s, Jackson returned to Delta council in 1996 and became mayor three years later.

She was most recently part of the Delta Independent Voters Association ticket and was acclaimed in 2014 after nobody put their name forward to run against her.

In a news release this week, Harvie said, “Every team needs a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow, someone who can help the transition from what has already been achieved to what’s possible for the future.”

The 2014 election saw just 13 candidates seek council seats.

The race for seven school trustee positions has grown to 15 candidates after newcomer Melody Pan filed nomination papers at city hall.

Harvie was brought in

by Jackson to be Delta’s chief administrative officer, a role he filled for 17 years before leaving earlier this year.

In May, Harvie announced he is running for mayor on a slate that includes council hopefuls Dan Copeland, Param Grewal, Alicia Guichon, Dylan Kruger and Cal Traversy. Last week he expanded his slate to include school trustee candidates Erica Beard, Daniel Boisvert, Jessie Dosanjh and Sujay Nazareth.

With so many already in the race and interest in this election looking like it could be higher than usual, voter turnout, which was just under 32 per cent in 2014, could also be higher.

Wedding ring returned thanks to young eyes

Youngster finds missing ring at boat launch The keen eyes of a South Delta youngster helped reunite a man with a lost wedding ring last week.

According to Delta police, nine-year-old Chloe Mason found a ring at the boat launch in Boundary Bay on Sept. 4.

She wasn’t sure how to go about finding the owner, so Chloe, her brother and father Dave Mason visited the Tsawwassen Community Police Station the next day to hand the ring into police.

On the inside of the ring was an engraved message with the name of a couple

— Terry and Chuck — and the date of their wedding in 1967. One of the volunteers working at the station said she knows a Chuck and Terry who were married that year. The volunteer also knew their last name.

Armed with the name, Const. Leisa Schaefer found a phone number for Chuck Lipp and called to ask if he had lost something near and dear to him.

He exclaimed, “My wedding ring!”

Chuck had lost the ring at the boat launch 10 days

earlier while playing with his grandchildren. He had looked for it, but without success.

Chuck came into the Tsawwassen Community Police Station immediately and met with Chloe to thank her.

“I think just that it shows yet another example of how our volunteers are such a wonderful resource to the community,” added Leykauf.

“Their connections and community knowledge can really make a difference, as I think this story illustrates.”

Sungod Recreation Centre in North Delta was shut down last Wednesday due to an ammonia alarm in the facility.

According to Delta’s director of parks and recreation Ken Kuntz, the alarm occurred at around 5:30 p.m. last Wednesday and the building was evacuated.

“Evacuation is a normal procedure for an ammonia alarm,” said Kuntz. “In the mechanical room where the refrigeration equipment is located, there are active ammonia sensing devices that trigger an alarm if the parts per million exceed a pre-determined level.”

Kuntz said the Delta Fire Department along with HAZMAT units responded immediately.

“Elevated levels of ammonia were confirmed, the refrigeration plant was shut down and the room vented to bring the levels to normal,” said

Safeguards performed as designed during a small ammonia leak at Sungod Recreation Centre.

Kuntz. “Fraser Valley Refrigeration (Delta’s refrigeration contractor) also were called to the site as well as notification to Worksafe BC, all of which are standard responses in case of a higher than normal ammonia reading.”

Kuntz said the problem was isolated to a small vapour leak from a pressure control device. It took several hours to determine the source of the vapour and the facility remained closed for the balance of the evening.

“The faulty device was

isolated from the balance of the system and the facility was able to be re-open Thursday morning. The device is now replaced and tested,” he added.

Technical Safety BC was also on site and confirmed the situation has been addressed.

“During the incident there was no one harmed.

Safety systems preformed as they were supposed to and staff acted appropriately by evacuating the building to ensure the safety of everyone,” said Kuntz.

Delta’s mayor and six councillors deal with such a wide variety of issues it’s difficult for any candidate to possess all the necessary background.

What makes an ideal candidate?

Former civic politicians offer insights into the skills council members should bring to the table 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

When applying for a job, a prospective employee typically has some combination of education and experience in the chosen field, but what should be on the resume of a wouldbe local politician?

With people from all walks of life, some older and a few on the younger side, looking to land a spot on Delta council in next month’s civic election, there will be hopefuls with a wide array of qualifications, but is there such a thing as an ideal candidate?

tain business or educational background could be helpful but it’s certainly no prerequisite.

“Experience is helpful but the first time I ran for council for alderman I didn’t have experience.

I served on some committees. Following the issues and being familiar with what is going on in the municipality and the major issues in people’s minds is important.

“It would also be helpful to have an ability to either understand budgets or, if not, be a real quick study because issues are one thing, but municipalities can’t run a deficit,” said

It would also be helpful to have an ability to either understand budgets or, if not, be a real quick study because issues are one thing, but municipalities can’t run a deficit.

BETH JOHNSON

That’s the question the Optimist recently posed to some former members of council as the biggest single turnover in almost two decades is expected to take place in October.

Beth Johnson, who was an alderman in the 1980s before becoming Delta’s first female mayor in 1990, was asked whether someone should have a particular background, either in business or civic affairs, in order to serve on local government. Or are ordinary citizens with a keen interest in local issues more than adequate when it comes to making million-dollar decisions?

She said having a cer-

Johnson, who served three terms as mayor before retiring in 1999.

Noting it was her IDEA council that first came up with the idea to eliminate Delta’s debt, she said those entering council must understand there’s a constant balancing act between dealing with the issues and available funding.

Johnson also said it’s important for a councillor to be willing to have professional staff carry out the tasks and “not beat them over the head if you don’t like their advice.”

She noted sometimes staff will come up with advice, such as a good

engineering solution, but it might not meet the needs of people in a particular neighbourhood, so that’s when politicians must listen to the citizens and know when to tell staff to go back and solve a problem in a different way.

“One other thing that’s really important is to be able to read reports and understand them and ask questions, but also be able to communicate to people and help them understand the choices.”

Former councillor Krista Engelland was a newcomer in 1993 but was fortunate to join an experienced team with Johnson’s IDEA slate, which had the likes of Bruce McDonald, who’s still on council and running this October, Wendy Jeske and George Hawksworth.

“At the time, Wendy and I were the only members of council with young families and I felt that the makeup of council should include this important perspective,” said Engelland, who ended up serving five terms. “Several of us were self-employed or worked full/part-time.

Vicki (Huntington) and I had small family business backgrounds as well.

Several members had passionate interests which they represented at the council table; environmental issues, farming and our library system, to name a few.”

Engelland noted that for the coming election, she’d like to see candidates that are willing to really listen to their constituents, have an open mind and a familiarity with a wide range of issues facing Delta, while serving the community

with balance and common sense.

“A large part of the job is massive amounts of reading council and committee reports, especially legal reports, so some understanding of legalese would be helpful. Committee work in the evenings and weekend events are a large part of a councillor’s workload,” she explained.

Engelland said she wonders if one of the current slates will gain a majority or whether there will be a mix from each on the next council, requiring, even more than ever, those elected to be able to work well with others.

Former mayor Doug Husband, who preceded Johnson, said the ideal makeup of council would

Former mayor Doug Husband believes council should have representation from all three Delta communities. have representation from all three Delta communities. That’s because, although there are many common issues, each is quite different and there’s “a psychological separation” that requires good lines of communication.

“We should probably, based on population, have three councillors from North Delta and three from South Delta. It doesn’t always work that way because, depending on the issues, there could be a better turnout in South Delta over the casino issue or over the Spetifore (Southlands) issue and it will trump the other area,” Husband said.

The University of B.C. has a school — the Summer Institute for Future Legislators — for those interested in running for politics.

“It is very important that our institutions are open to anyone who wants to serve, but we also need politicians who have the knowledge, skill, character and judgment to ensure our democratic institutions perform well,” political science professor Max Cameron states on the program’s website.

“This is a bit of Catch22. How can you get the skills and knowledge except through practice?

There is a very high cost to our democratic institutions when they are run by amateurs who lack the character or judgment to do the job well — and I would suggest (U.S. President Donald) Trump illustrates this.”

Candidates must file their nomination papers by 4 p.m. tomorrow. The election is Oct. 20.

Public to be given say at hearing on proposed marijuana regulations 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

Residents will get to have their say on Delta’s efforts to regulate cannabis after civic politicians gave preliminary approval to an updated bylaw and sent it to a Sept. 25 public hearing.

According to a staff report, the bylaw aims to regulate the growing of cannabis to the extent possible under new provincial legislation and to further regulate cannabis dispensary, production, and research and development uses.

The provincial government recently announced cities will have the ability to prohibit cannabis production in the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, cannabis production can’t be prohibited if lawfully grown in an open field, in a structure that has a soil base, in a pre-existing structure or a structure that was under construction as of July 13, 2018, or in an existing licensed production facility.

Several greenhouses in

Delta have already begun making the switch to cannabis, including Rubicon Organics converting a greenhouse on 104th Street in East Delta. Two even larger-scale greenhouses — Canopy in East Delta and Village Farms in East Ladner — are also making the switch to cannabis, having obtained approvals to grow medical pot in advance of the federal government’s legalization of recreational cannabis next month.

Houweling’s is joining forces with an Australian company to provide “flower ready” starter plants.

Delta has requested a meeting with the minister of agriculture to discuss the city’s concerns regarding the impacts of cannabis production on farmland and displacement of traditional food crops.

The Metro Vancouver board recently called on the province to protect farmland for food production by not allowing recreational cannabis operations in the ALR. With files from Ian Jacques

Pure Sunfarms received its cannabis sales licence from Health Canada in July, permitting it to immediately begin selling product.

TED MURPHY

here’s definitely some smoke, but it’s harder to find much in the way of fire.

The never-ending EnviroSmart saga has become even stranger in recent weeks as Delta and Metro Vancouver have taken turns pointing fingers at one another in an effort to lay blame as to why the issue, and its accompanying stench, has lingered for so long. The most noteworthy aspect of this blame game is a memo a Metro Vancouver staffer penned following a 2013 meeting at which it is alleged that George Harvie, Delta’s CAO at the time and current mayoral candidate, strenuously objected to an air quality permit for the malodourous composter.

I’ve heard people suggest that Harvie’s actions at that meeting are to blame for the lack of a resolution to the stink more than five years later, but as curious a picture as that memo paints, it’s difficult to draw a direct line between then and now. If the memo is an accurate account, and not surprisingly Harvie doesn’t believe it is, much else has happened since that meeting that doesn’t support such a theory.

For one, there were few odour complaints about the composting operation five or six years ago, and given Metro Vancouver had its resources stretched to the limit with the stink created

by Harvest Power in Richmond, the Enviro-Smart situation was pushed to the back burner. When ownership of the composting operation changed and the stench became a front burner issue, Delta repeatedly, and quite publicly, called for Metro to take action to remedy the situation. It should be noted that Harvie was CAO during much of this time.

So the idea that Harvie is somehow responsible for where we find ourselves at today is difficult for me to buy, although it’s hard not to raise your eyebrows at how the memo characterizes his actions at that 2013 meeting. I’ve asked him about it, and while I can’t say I’m convinced by his responses, I also can’t see any other evidence to suggest he stood in the way of a permit being issued. If anything, it’s the opposite.

There’s little doubt some opponents will try to squeeze as much political mileage out of the damning memo as possible, and there’s some to be had for sure, but as smelly as it might be, it’s not the reason the stench hasn’t abated.

How one vote can count for three in our local elections

W

ow, that was quick.

One day, the sun is shining, it’s hot outside, the grass is dead and we are all choking on the smoke from the interior forest fires. The next, it’s cold, raining and the kids are back in school. That was the fastest end to summer I have seen in a long time.

Now that fall has arrived, we are headed for local elections. It’s been four years since the last one, so we can all be excused for not thinking about it. But just as fast as summer ended, election season will be in full swing.

Tomorrow is the deadline for nominations, and shortly after will be the race to get election signs posted. Most people hate all the signs littering the roads and fields, and complain about them every time.

As someone who has put their name forward and run as an independent (ie. no one to help me!), I can tell you that as much as people hate them, people who have to put them up, make sure they stay up and take them down hate them more.

This is going to be a pivotal election, especially for Delta council. City hall is going to look very different. No matter what happens, there will be at least three new councillors as Heather

King in not running, Ian Paton has stepped aside now that he’s our MLA and Sylvia Bishop is running for the top job against George Harvie and Jim Cessford.

New mayor, half of a council being new, it’s a new era ahead, that’s for sure. Now, with Mayor Lois Jackson running for a council seat, that could make for an interesting dynamic.

Traditionally, voter turnout for municipal elections is low, typically around 33 per cent. People question whether this makes the results legitimate because not even the majority of the population votes, let alone chooses the people who are elected. I don’t worry about it too much, though.

I look at it from a statistical standpoint — 33 per cent is more than a representative sample of the population, therefore the results would likely be the same even if

everyone voted.

If you don’t vote, think of it this way — someone else is casting a ballot in your place. Those who do vote, in essence, get three votes. If only one-third cast a ballot, but those votes end up creating 100 per cent of the result, each ballot counts for three votes.

That’s why, over the next few weeks, you’ll see the signs, the ads, the phone calls and the folks at the door as all the candidates try and determine who will be supporting them and encouraging them to take a moment on Oct. 20 to vote.

So if you really want to have an impact on our community, take the time to learn about the candidates, figure out who you feel is best to run our local governments (council and school board), and then take five minutes on an October Saturday and vote.

With any luck, you’ll get three votes for the effort of one.

Best of luck to all the candidates. And thanks Heather King for your many years of service to Delta on council and school board.

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

Surgical wait times come with a variety of costs

Editor: Having spent 21 days in hospital for a five- to seven-day treatment I know the issues Dr. Brian Day is dealing with in his lawsuit to change Medicare.

The delay reasons were typical in that I was in a “queue” waiting for time in an operating room when a doctor could treat the blood clots in my leg.

I was hospitalized in a “regional trauma centre.”

As such, trauma cases that come in get priority and the “queue” is altered. The “region” is Fraser Health, the largest in B.C. The reason for the actual delay is more “atypical” in that the operating room for this large trauma centre is restricted to 12-hour days, five days per week (augmented for emergencies). There were five rooms with an equal number of five waiting patients.

Theoretically, 25 people were waiting approximately 14 days for surgery

at a cost of approximately $2,000 per day.

If you consider all departments in the hospital experiencing similar delays, you can imagine the additional “bed costs” incurred while supposedly “saving” operating room costs.

Having waited for most of two weeks, I was surprised to learn that I would lose my foot if the operation was not successful. I now have such restriction to nerves in my foot that cold weather activities are severally limited.

This information was presented at a Fraser Health board meeting and in a letter to the board.

The response from the board and former president Nigel Murray made this an exercise in futility.

The fact funds were being “mismanaged” in this way seemed totally irrelevant.

Similarly I experienced a one-year wait for sinus surgery. While waiting, I

lost my olfactory senses.

As well, my work was restricted as sleep was hard to come by. I was in a queue of 500 people just for Greater Vancouver.

This queue was apparently relieved right after my surgery by a subcontract to a private clinic.

What is at stake is more than costs and additional burden on the medical system. People’s lives and wellbeing are at stake. On top of that our economy is additionally burdened by time lost at work.

This is an issue of mismanagement and a system having to deal with the justification of costs to different bodies of government that haven’t got the ability — or perhaps interest — in looking at the secondary and tertiary costs that their decisions entail.

Perhaps Dr. Day will be successful in changing management of our medical system.

Check fine print on whistleblower policy

Editor: Re: Kanakos would like a policy to support whistleblowers, Sept. 6 Your article about the call for a “made in Delta” whistleblower policy that could protect civic employees brought up memories of my own experience.

I communicated a concern as a hospital employee about a rat problem.

It was part of my job description to keep an eye open’ for potential pest

problems and document them so a note was left on a supervisor’s desk at the end of my shift. When I returned for my next shift, the note was held out to me by a manager who asked, “Did you write this?” I looked at it and said, “Yes, it was about rats I saw jumping up on the service bay area.”

I was then told that I was in a lot of trouble.

My note, it seemed, was a contravention of a signed confidentiality statement

that anything I see or hear while on the job is private and confidential.

CBC picked up on the story and I was broadcast across the continent as a whistleblower. It was the media exposure that kept me from being fired.

So speaking from experience, I would suggest civic employees’ confidentiality clauses be looked into before drawing up plans for whistleblowing protection.

Trudeau’s comments patronizing to driver

Editor: Last Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. I drove into Richmond from Vancouver and even at that late hour in the “rush hour” southbound traffic was backed up almost to the Blundell Road overpass. Most of the traffic consisted of large trucks and semi-trailers belching diesel fumes as they waited to go through the George Massey Tunnel.

I returned to Vancouver

at 3 p.m. and again the southbound traffic was backed up north of Blundell.

Listening to the prime minister on a radio station interview extolling the virtues of the billionplus-dollars the federal government is providing for the Broadway to UBC subway and the Surrey ALRT, I was sickened to hear his patronizing comments that this “money would allow parents to get

home earlier to help with homework” Perhaps if Justin Trudeau, in company with Premier John Horgan and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, had taken Highway 99 to their Surrey meeting at either 9:30 a.m. or 3 p.m. he would not have made such a patronizing statement.

Many more parents take the tunnel than travel to UBC. We need the bridge.

District makes emergency terminology simpler

Code red ditched in favour of language that provides better understanding of what’s happening IAN JACQUES

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

The Delta School District has updated its emergency procedures.

The district is going through a soft launch this month as it brings its staff, students and parents up to speed on the new terminology.

According to the district, most B.C. school districts have moved away from existing terms for emergency procedures and adopted language that is more universally accepted by first responders.

Delta’s current school emergency procedures have been in place for

more than 15 years and include the familiar, but somewhat vague, code green, code yellow and code red procedures.

Through consultation with the Delta Police Department and other partners, the district is transitioning to new terminology.

Assistant superintendent Brad Bauman said the changes have been in the planning stage for quite a while and are part of a larger emergency preparedness model for the district.

“One of our goals is that by moving away from broad terminology like code red and code yellow

(New expanded window cleaning service)

to more specific language, parents will have a better understanding of what is happening at your child’s school in the event of an emergency,” said Bauman.

“We encourage parents to familiarize themselves with this information as a preventative measure against confusion and unnecessary concern in the event of an incident.”

The new emergency procedures include: • Evacuate: used to move people out of the school when a hazard exists inside.

• Hold & secure: used if there is a security concern in the neighbourhood.

• Lockdown: used in

• Shelter in place: used if an environmental hazard may impact the school.

• Drop, cover & hold on: used in the event of an earthquake, explosion or any event that shakes the school.

• Room clear: used to move people away from a hazard contained in one room/area.

Bauman said in the event of an incident at a school or district building, this language is what will be used to communicate with staff, students, police (if required) and the public.

English Bluff becomes IB school 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

English Bluff Elementary in Tsawwassen has been formally accredited as an International Baccalaureate World School offering a Primary Years program.

Delta School District said this week in a news release that the journey towards IB began as a grassroots effort. Both staff and parents were looking for a competitive option in a community with a range of choice in educational programing.

“For the past three years English Bluff Elementary has been actively working towards becoming a fully accredited IB school,” said principal Michelle Smith.

“I am so proud of our staff and students for their commitment to this process. We are so excited to be an official IB school.”

In 2015, after much

English Bluff Elementary in Tsawwassen has been formally accredited as an International Baccalaureate World School offering a Primary Years program. research, the English Bluff school community overwhelmingly agreed to embrace the IB framework for learning and start the journey to accreditation.

Since then, the school has been in its candidacy phase, implementing the IB framework, developing a Program of Inquiry and attending training sessions

for certification.

At an IB school, students learn the B.C. curriculum, but they learn it in a framework that connects learning to global and current realities, while personalizing learning by allowing students to inquire deeply into their topics of study. At the core of the IB Primary Years

program are the six transdisciplinary themes.

“These themes have global significance and create a framework that encompasses all learning and provides a balance between the subject areas and learning beyond them,” added Toshi Carleton, English Bluff IB coordinator and new vice-principal at Ladner Elementary.

English Bluff’s goal is to educate the “whole child” and create inquiring lifelong learners who encompass all attributes of the IB learner profile.

Through a unique curriculum with high academic standards, IB champions critical thinking and flexibility for learning by crossing disciplinary, cultural and national boundaries.

Currently, more than 1.4 million IB students attend 4,896 schools in 153 countries.

It might not bring joy but it could be mighty useful

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

Japanese de-cluttering guru Marie Kondo has it all figured out.

To successfully rid yourself of all that’s weighing you down, she suggests we keep one simple mantra in mind: Keep only those things that spark joy.

Kondo is a master at the simplify-your-life thing.

Me? Not so much.

Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try, given my ongoing quest to live a little lighter.

I got the husband involved.

“Remember,” I said. “We keep only those things that

spark joy.”

I was pretty sure he did not know what Marie Kondo was talking about.

I was 100-per-cent sure he’d never heard of Marie Kondo.

The Dickens collection sparked joy, we decided.

The deflated football did not.

The grandmother’s jewelry sparked joy, we determined, as did our golf clubs, the son’s hockey trophies and the children’s baby books. The 10-yearold tax receipts sparked nothing but a quick trip to the shredder.

Those were the straightforward things. The travel diaries? In. The outdated atlas? Out. The electric mixers did not spark joy, but without them, I would not be able to make peanut butter cookies, which most certainly spark joy.

The leftover kitchen flooring, which had been eating up precious real estate in the shed for the past six years, did not

spark joy, but it did spark a bit of a conundrum. What happens if we chip one of the tiles on the floor? That would spark an issue.

I scratched my head.

“What about all those old sweaters in your closet?” I asked the husband.

“You haven’t worn some of them in years. Do they spark joy?”

“Do they spark what?” he asked.

“Joy,” I replied.

“Remember: Marie Kondo says we should keep only those things that spark joy.”

This time, it was the husband’s turn to scratch his head.

I began to wonder about Marie Kondo, and imagined her living in, well, a condo, surrounded only by artwork, bracelets, CDs, fluffy blankets, poetry books, travel souvenirs, photo albums, fine wine and really good chocolate.

Yes, she’s successful at living quite light, but I’m guessing she doesn’t make cookies.

Rotary seeks teachers for African technology project 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

Local teachers with vocational training are being sought for an upcoming Rotary Foundation initiative in Kenya.

Tsawwassen Rotarian John Anderson has been selected as chair of the District 5040 vocational training team committee.

Vocational training teams are groups of

professionals who travel abroad either to teach about a particular field or to learn more about their own, using funds from the Rotary Foundation.

Activities vary from one team to the next, but could include training medical professionals on cardiac surgery and care, sharing best practices on early childhood education or explaining new irrigation techniques to farmers. A successful team increases

the capacity of the host community to solve problems and improve the quality of life.

While computer and internet technology has come to a rural area of Kenya, B.C. teachers experienced in teaching with technology are needed for hands-on help.

From March 18 to 29, 2019, a team will visit Kenya to support local teachers in learning how to apply the new technol-

ogy in the classroom.

Anderson said six middle and secondary school teachers who are experienced in using technology in the classroom, and a Rotarian leader, are being recruited.

They must be comfortable leading workshops, demonstrating techniques, providing assistance and sharing their knowledge in a supportive manner.

“Teachers we are seeking for this team will rep-

resent a variety of subject specialties to provide support to teachers from the Kenyan secondary schools through information exchange sessions and workshops at the Kenya Connect Learning Resource Centre and at the participating schools,” said Anderson.

After the visit to Kenya the project then calls for six teachers/principals from the Kenyan schools, and Kenya Connect field

staff, to come to B.C. next spring to visit schools and learn new techniques.

At the end of the Kenyan teachers’ tour all 12 educators involved would attend the Rotary District 5040 Conference in Sun Peaks in May to report on the project.

For details or to learn how to apply, contact Anderson at johnlanderson@telus.net or 604-948 2944. Applications must be received by Sept. 30.

Pet Week of the

Say hello to Leia

Leia is a ve year old female bully mix around 50lbs. Her owner had had her since she was a puppy but her situation has changed and Leia is now looking for a new home. During her assessment she did very well with big and small dogs alike, both on and off leash. Leia immediately went into play bow with several big dogs, and we feel a home with another playful dog might be what she needs! She can get possessive over food and toys though, so that would need to be kept in mind. She does not do well with cats but Leia LOVES people.

All ages, creeds, shapes and sizes! She takes treats gently and does not jump up, so a home with respectful younger children could be a possibility. Leia is a higher energy girl, and if you want a hiking, biking or running partner, this is your gal! She would love to have a fair amount of mental and physical stimulation daily, followed by snuggles on the couch!

She is great on leash with her head halter, is crate trained and house broken. As with all our dogs, she is spayed and up to date on all shots and vaccines and microchipped. We need a foster for her by the second week in September, but ideally would love to nd her a furever home. Email us at pbandchi@gmail.com if you think Leia is a good t for you!

Proposal: The City of Delta is proposing to amend “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” to regulate the growing of cannabis to the extent possible under new provincial legislation and to further regulate cannabis dispensary, cannabis production and cannabis research and development uses.

Background: On July 13, 2018, the provincial government amended Section 2 of the “Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation” to change how cannabis production facilities in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) qualify as a ‘farm use’. The amendment specifies in a new Section 2(2.5) that the growing of cannabis in the ALR is a farm use that cannot be prohibited if grown lawfully in an open field; in a structure that has a soil base; in a pre-existing structure, or a structure that was under construction, as of July 13, 2018; or in an existing licensed production facility.

Previously, the growing of cannabis with federal licensing (for medical purposes) was considered a farm use in any form.

In response to the Federal government’s pending legalization of recreational cannabis and the amendments to the “Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation”, staff are bringing forward proposed amendments to “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017”.

“Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” Amendment Bylaw No. 7795 To amend “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” by updating and clarifying the intent of existing definitions and lists of prohibited or non-permitted uses to exclude where appropriate, “cannabis dispensary”, “cannabis production”, and “cannabis research and development”. The proposed amendment would also regulate the growing of cannabis as a “farming” use in the Agricultural Land Reserve as set out in Section 2(2.5) of the “Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation”.

He challenged their priorities, corrected their unbelief and at times questioned their motives.

Are you ready for the “more” that’s coming? We need to build now what will help secure our future later.

Build your relationship with God. Build your character. It’s better to build a life now for increase than get to a place where the increase sinks you.

The Bible teaches us how to handle His increase.

Don’t allow the “more” to expose the lack in your character and your goodness, but rather let its pending arrival propel your preparation.

More is not just for you.

It’s for others.

More… is something we all seek. We want more stuff, more opportunities, more possibilities, more… God wants to give you more, but like every good parent he wants the growth you gain to be the growth you keep.

He wants his kids to grow in strength, not just height. He wants our lives to increase not just in opportunity, but more importantly in maturity and love for others.

“More” comes with greater responsibility and that means a stretch in many areas of our lives.

More will stretch your attitudes, discipline, mindset and willingness. The responsibilities that come with “more” exposes what is often hidden within

Ducks set to race on Fraser

Annual Tour de Duck this Sunday to benefit marine search and rescue group IAN JACQUES

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

It will be a quacking good time — all for a great cause.

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 8 Delta and the Delta Marine Rescue Society present the third annual Tour de Duck this Sunday at Deas Island Regional Park.

The event, which is the main fundraiser for the local marine search and rescue group, starts at noon with the duck races commencing at 1:30 p.m.

The event will see more than 4,000 rubber ducks race down the Fraser River. There is also a corporate race that will kick off the festivities with six event sponsors (Ledcor Group, Muscle Memory Personal & Group Training, Princess Auto, West Coast Seeds, White Spot and ZLC Financial) taking part for bragging rights.

Delta South MLA Ian Paton will be on hand as the MC. Ducks cost $5 each and those that cross the finish line first will earn their corresponding ticket holders a variety of prizes, including a Gulf Islands getaway. Tickets, which have been selling well according to Station 8 members, will be available

RCM-SAR volunteers David Wong, Kathy Trent, Robb Lucy and Patty Nugent invite the community out to the third annual Tour de Duck this Sunday at Deas Island Regional Park. on event day as well as online at rcmsardelta.com.

The event is free to attend and will also include entertainment, face painting and refreshments.

RCM-SAR member Patty Nugent said fundraising is important to the group because there are only so many other dollars available.

Previously there have been pub fundraisers and other events, but because Delta is a waterfront com-

munity, the idea for a Tour de Duck was born.

Last year’s event raised $35,000.

“The duck races always do well – they are known internationally for many organizations and groups and it was thought that we would do well,” she said.

“Our first duck race went very well and did generate us some money, so why not a second one and now here we are in year three.”

Nugent said they looked at several locations to hold

the event, but found Deas Island Regional Park to be an ideal spot.

“I think some of us were skeptical at first,” recalled RCM-SAR member Robb Lucy. “But Patty continued and made it work. It’s a great event and people always have a fun time.”

Nugent said there couldn’t be a better group to put on an event of this nature.

“We know the tides. It’s what we do – we are on the water,” she said.

Delta Marine Rescue Society and RCM-SAR member David Wong said it is also another way to make the community aware of Station 8, its volunteer members and what they do.

“Buy a duck and help save a life,” Wong said.

Currently there are 28 members, but more volunteers are always needed.

Training is provided.

“The Terry Fox Foundation differs from other non-profit organizations in that 82 cents of every dollar raised is donated directly to cancer research. Reaching out to the public is crucial as total community involvement is needed to maintain the high level of donations we raise for cancer research initiatives.”

Fox had a single dream: a world without cancer. He sought to reach out to every corner of Canada, and beyond, when he embarked on his Marathon of Hope.

Fox ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days straight on one leg. He did this to raise

awareness of the need for cancer research funding. When his own cancer spread, he was forced to stop running, but his journey and his dream to find a cure for cancer lives on.

“The Terry Fox Run has been with us in South Delta since 1985,” said Donna White, British Columbia and Yukon

provincial director. “An astounding $179,000 has been raised at the South Delta run for innovative cancer research.”

The Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive, allinclusive, family oriented event. Registration is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount.

Participants have the

option to be recognized as a corporate team, individual participants or even a member of “Terry’s Team” of cancer survivors.

Every participant is a special part of the cause, as living proof that cancer research saves lives.

“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope,” added White. “Terry taught us that every contribution matters. We urge you to come out as a participant or volunteer to support a truly grassroots organization and help us continue to work together to outrun cancer.”

Bridge Club opens season in new permanent home The Duplicate Lite Bridge Club is getting set to start its season in its new permanent home — the East Delta Hall.

Prior to last year, the club played out of Elgin Hall in Surrey, but renovations prompted the move to East Delta.

The location change was an instant hit and has allowed the club to expand, offering more game dates for players.

“We have had an extremely successful year at the hall in partnership with the society who runs the hall,” said director Jane Youngberg, one of the founding members. “We are expanding to another day and have between 80 to 120 players each day who come to the hall Tuesday to Thursday. We feel our club has changed duplicate bridge in the Lower Mainland.”

The club’s official opening is Monday, Sept. 17 at 9:30 a.m. New and returning players are most welcome.

The Duplicate Lite Bridge Club opens its season on Monday, Sept. 17 at its new permanent home — the East Delta Hall.

Youngberg said education about the game is important to the group and has been a big part of its success.

She said many people think that duplicate bridge is difficult and only for the very serious, competitive player, she said, adding the club’s players are focused on learning and playing duplicate because it is a

great form of bridge.

“The competitive side of the game is still there but the emphasis is on learning, challenging our minds and enjoying the friendship of others,” she added.

What better way to finish off a fun run than having an ice cold beer?

Participants will get to do just that on Sunday, Sept. 23 as Four Winds presents Winded — a fivekilometre fun run around Boundary Bay for charity.

The event, now in its second year, is once again in support of Deltassist.

“We’ve done a couple of runs before, but this is the second year we have branded it as Winded,” said Four Winds Brewing Company sales and marketing director/co-founder Adam Mills. “We like the fact that they [Deltassist] support families with different needs and different programs to assist. It just felt right for us to include them in this.”

Mills said Four Winds

likes involving itself in the community and this is a great way to do just that.

“We like to also use the platform that we have built and the reach we have as a company to help out, give back and garner a strength and bond in the community,” he said. “We want to help the community, but it’s also an opportunity to have some fun. We can all get together and have a run and then afterwards have a beer and some barbecue and just hang out and enjoy each other’s company while raising money for a good cause.”

The event is open to all ages for the run and barbecue. You must be of age to have a beer.

The start/finish is at Centennial Beach at Boundary Bay Regional Park and starts at 10 a.m.

Participants can register via raceroster.com and

search “Winded.”

Pre-registration allows for advanced race package pick-up at the Run Inn in Delta on Friday, Sept. 21 from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 22 from noon to 6 p.m. or you can get your race package when you register at the event at 9 a.m. on race day.

Registration includes a Winded water bottle, two Four Winds beers and barbecue served up by Newmans Fine Foods. Admission fee for non-runners is $10 and includes one beer, or nonalcoholic drink and one barbecue and side salad ticket. Additional food and drink tickets will also be available. Children 12 and under are free.

The post-race barbecue will be held at historic Cammidge House in Boundary Bay Regional Park.

You never hear of a stressed out Buddhist monk. Or see viral videos of the Dalai Lama losing it at LAX because they lost his luggage.

Could it be because these people are super human? Immune to the daily stresses that the rest of us mere mortals go through on a daily basis?

I have no idea, however I am quite certain that one habit they have does help them achieve this super chill vibe, and that habit is meditation.

A regular meditation practice has a myriad of positive changes psychologically, including lower anxiety levels, decreased depression, enhanced selfawareness, a lengthened attention span, improvements to mental clarity, a more positive outlook as well as the ability to improve our emotional health.

In other words, meditation can help us like ourselves more.

This is great news since a lot of us have that selfcritical inner voice in our head. That self-critical jerk is always passing judgment on what we do, who

McIntyre asks, “Aren’t you worth this effort?” If that is a hard question to answer yes to, then ask yourself this one: “Aren’t all the other people in your life worth having a stronger, happier you?”

McIntyre suggests these four tips to help prepare you for a more self-loving and compassionate meditation: 1. Become aware of your inner dialogue. How do you talk to yourself?

Be curious and leave the judgment aside. Notice if you are kind, angry, hard, soft, compassionate or dismissive with yourself. And

then ask yourself: “Would you talk to a stranger this way? Your best friend?”

2. Discover the opposite.

If you’d like to increase self-compassion, the next time you talk harshly to yourself immediately think of the opposite that you could say - and then say it. Practice lots because it does get easier.

3. Let go of expectation.

Too often we can let our striving for perfection get in the way of meditating.

For instance, you spent your 30-minute meditation practice going over your grocery list, or what you could have said to the person who cut you off. Once you open your eyes, your negative self-talk begins about what a failure you are at meditating. Instead, try this on before your next meditation: “However my meditation unfolds is exactly how it is meant to be.”

4. Meditating does not equal doing nothing, nor is it a waste of time. Yes, often when we meditate we are outwardly quiet and still, which seems like a whole lot of nothing. But meditation is not a waste of time; it’s time to heal, regenerate and refresh so that we can get all of our stuff done.

Death & Dying

Two-thirds of B.C. parents don’t have a will

By not putting it in writing, families left vulnerable to outside decision-makers and delays An online survey of 800 B.C. residents earlier this year found that 66 per cent of parents of children 18 or younger do not have a will, which leaves the family vulnerable to outside decision-makers, delays and conflict if something were to happen to one or both parents.

The survey, which was conducted this spring by Ipsos for BC Notaries, also showed that overall only 44 per cent of B.C. adults have a will in place and only 57 per cent of homeowners have a current will.

“We know that too many people pass without a will in place because notaries help families navigate the bureaucracy and uncertainty created for those left behind,” said Rhoda Witherly, president of BC Notaries and a notary in Prince Rupert. “Even for us, this finding that two-thirds of parents with dependent children don’t have a will is surprisingly high and a concern for these families.”

If there is no will in place, or the will is not properly prepared, custody of any children under 18 and property distribution may not occur as the deceased intended. Furthermore, if the public guardian and trustee is brought in to administer the estate, the province may then decide on the future of dependent children and assets.

gone,” said Tong.

Creating a will can typically be done in two short meetings, said Vancouver notary David Watts.

“During the first meeting, we will discuss a general overview of your assets and your intentions for their distribution. The second meeting finalizes your plan and your paperwork,” said Watts. “A good way to start the process is to think about who you would want to care for your children, inherit your home and any other assets, and then visit a local notary who can assist you in preparing a proper and legal will.”

Most people find that creating a will leads to important discussions and decisions, and brings families closer by creating more certainty and peace of mind for everyone. It also creates peace of mind that assets will be distributed to family, friends and charitable organizations according to the will-maker’s wishes.

Caring for pets creating a new frontier in wills

Trust funds cover costs of surviving animals DAVID SEVERIDE

The number of families that include furry friends among their members has increased exponentially in recent years, and correspondingly more people are inclined to make some provision in their wills for their pets should the pets outlive them.

While we do hear crazy stories about wealthy eccentrics leaving millions of dollars to their pets by way of a gift in their wills (apparently Oprah has provided $30 million in a trust fund for her five dogs!), it is becoming increasingly popular to make a modest allowance in a will to provide proper care for pets who outlive their owners.

Under B.C. law, all pets and other domestic animals, ranging from house cats to horses, are considered personal property of

their owners and so it is not legally possible (nor recommended) to name a pet as a beneficiary of our estates in a will.

Pet owners can, however, name someone in their will (called a trustee) to manage a sum of money (called a trust fund) that will be available after death of the pet’s owner to provide for the expenses of caring for the pet for the rest of its life. Any expenses identified in the will can be included. For example, food, vet bills and even lodging for larger animals such as horses would be appropriate expenses that could be paid for out of the trust fund.

You can also appoint someone in your will to be the pet’s “guardian” that may be a different person from the person appointed as trustee of the money.

The guardian would be in charge of taking “custody” of the pet, and in this

instance, the trustee would then provide the guardian with sufficient money from the trust fund to pay all the expenses necessary to keep the pet well fed and cared for during its lifetime.

It is also important to consider what is to happen to any money left in the trust fund after the pet’s death. One popular choice is to appoint a charity (there are many charities which promote animal rights for example) to inherit any funds that are not spent on the pet during its life.

While wills have (perhaps rightly) earned a reputation as documents that don’t always reflect our current societal norms, the increasing inclusion of pet trusts in estate planning documents provides some evidence to the contrary.

Death & Dying

Report paints picture of tarnished golden years

Running out of money is a common fear LAURIE CAMPBELL KELLEY KEEHN

Optimist contributors

A recent survey of 1,000 Canadians over the age of 60 shows that “running out of money before they die” and “not being able to pay for long term care” top the list of financial worries of seniors.

The Seniors and Money Report paints a picture of aging Canadians facing financial jeopardy.

One-in-four seniors fear they will run out of money before they die, while an equal amount fear they will not be able to pay for long-term care. Other concerns include never being able to pay off their debt, not having enough money to retire, having to sell their house or depending on their children for financial support.

One-in-five Canadians still work past age 60 (onein-16 work past 80). Too much debt, not enough

savings, still supporting adult children and “I’ll never afford retirement” are the main reasons. On a positive note, nearly onethird of Canadians over 60 continue working because they simply “love their job.”

More than half of Canadians age 60 and older carry at least one form of debt, with many carrying more. The usual culprits tend to be credit cards (which lead the way), lines of credit, mortgages, and (to a lesser extent) auto loans.

Surprisingly, more than one-in-three Canadians 80 and older are carrying at least one form of debt, perhaps most unexpectedly, nine per cent have car loans.

The report shows the beginnings of a generational shift in how seniors are supporting their retirement. The number of seniors who list a company pension plan as a

source of income is declining. Currently, 50 per cent of those 80 and older list a company pension plan as a source of income, while that dips to 41 per cent among those 60 to 69.

It’s not all doom and gloom. There are a multitude of resources available to seniors and their families. Truthfully, it’s never too late to get started.

Non-profit organizations like Credit Canada and the Financial Planning Standards Council provide resources for all Canadians at any stage in their life; wherever a person sits on the spectrum of debt or savings.

Death & Dying

Ensuring your documents are in order is a gift to loved ones

Please recycle this newspaper.

One of the most important and caring things you can do for yourself and your loved ones is to prepare in advance for a time when you may not be able to express your own needs and wishes.

Expressing and legally documenting preferences and instructions can protect you or your family

members from financial abuse or exploitation.

Designating healthcare decision-makers and documenting instructions can create peace-of-mind, minimize dissension and anguish among friends and family, and ensure compliance on critical decisions.

Advance planning can be a very comforting and satisfying process, especially when it’s managed by an experienced and trusted legal professional.

Notaries understand the sensitivities and complexities of these planning decisions, and will ensure that your intentions are clear and properly documented so you can rest assured about the future.

If you have close family and friends, expressing your preferences clearly and encouraging them to do the same is one of the greatest gifts you can give them to ensure they are aware of your wishes and to save potential confusion or conflict later on.

NOTARY PUBLIC Do you have a Will yet?

According to a recent poll, 45% of B.C. adults do not have a current and legal Will.

A Will ensures that your assets are divided as you wish.

If you die without a Will the law determines how your assets are divided.

Advance planning can be a very comforting and satisfying process.

Clear, legally documented instructions can also save costly and timeconsuming legal intervention in the future.

Power of Attorney A power of attorney allows a capable adult to appoint a person or persons to handle their financial and legal matters in the event they are unable to do so themselves or need assistance.

The document also specifies whether these individuals are allowed to act separately or required to act together.

Because of the financial authority conveyed, it is critical the adult fully understands what powers they are granting with this document and have complete trust in the person they are appointing.

It also allows the adult to compensate their designated attorney for performing actions on their behalf.

Who should have a power of attorney? This document has great value for anyone who: • Wants to ensure that a trusted person would take care of bill paying, correspondence and financial management in the event of incapacity or absence.

• May need assistance with their daily finances now or in the future.

• Wants to avoid the very lengthy and expensive process of a court

appointed committee should they suddenly become incapable.

• Wants to avoid having the public guardian and trustee take over his or her affairs.

Representation Agreement A representation agreement appoints a representative, or multiple representatives, to make decisions regarding an individual’s health and personal care in the event they are unable to communicate their own wishes.

Depending on how the representation agreement is prepared, a designated representative’s authority can include: • Routine finances; • Decisions regarding healthcare, personal care and limited legal affairs; • Refusal or consent to life support treatment and care; • Consent to less common medical procedures/ treatment; • Consent to treatment the adult approved while capable but since losing capacity has refused to consent; and • Deciding on living arrangements for the adult, including choosing a care facility.

A notary can help determine the appropriate scope for specific representative(s).

SP2: Delta – Its Geology and Geologic Hazards Presented by Dr. John Clague (Director of the Centre for Natural Hazard Research, Simon Fraser University)

SP3: Jack the Ripper and the Royal Family: Murder and Myth Presented by Dr. Simon Devereaux (Associate Professor of History, University of Victoria)

How do we separate media hype from fact? How does our community make decisions on an informed basis? Dr. Clague will focus on the special effects that a strong earthquake would have on Delta and the consequences of sea-level rise that scientists anticipate later in this century.

Jack the Ripper is the most infamous murderer in modern history.

For more than forty years now, many people have believed that Jack the Ripper was either a member of the royal family or else someone acting in their interest. His identity has never been revealed. What was fact and what is fiction?

An average freight train is about 4,000 times heavier than your car.

Stay Safe. When driving near railroad tracks, always obey all posted signs and signals, and follow a few simple rules: Do not pass other vehicles near a crossing. Your view of the tracks may be obstructed or your speed may be too great to stop.

Avoid stalls. Many crossings are on raised surfaces so shift gears ahead of or after the crossing to avoid getting stuck on the tracks.

If your vehicle is stuck on a crossing, get out quickly and move away at a 45 degree angle. Call 911 or the listed emergency number.

MARK BOOTH

A near two month stretch of championship fastpitch that didn’t wrap until the end of August. So what did some members of the 2001 Delta Heat do with their final week of summer vacation?

How about spending three days with a group of First Nations kids in Port Hardy to share their love of the game and establish friendships.

These girls are far more than just very talented players that happened to win a U16 Canadian title a year ago and finish third at this year’s U19 nationals.

“They had Canada Cup, provincials and nationals, then this idiot comes up with one week left in their holidays and asks them to jump in a bus for seven hours then sleep in a basement of a church for a few days,” laughed Fred Wells.

“All I got was ‘when do we leave?’”

Wells heads the 140 Sports Association where he is joined by Doug Harris and Dave Rally.

All three are longtime coaches in the community that saw a need to establish this not-for-profit organization that has evolved from the original YES (Youth Empowerment Skills) program they ran. Members of the 2001 Heat attended those clinics about a decade ago and

now have become mentors for 140 — currently running sessions this month out of the South Delta Recreation Centre.

Younger players have come onboard too as 140 continues to establish momentum and get its message out.

The name derives from one of Yogi Berra’s famous quotes ‘Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.’ The

association has partnered up with Anxiety Canada and Alongside of You — a family counselling service in Ladner.

“Both my daughters suffered from depression and anxiety,” said Wells. “Both played high level sports. They played on teams where the girls were popular; they were good looking; they were talented. They had a perfect world.

But then you find out as years go

The 140 Sports contingent were guests of honour at a potlatch.

by that more than half of each of them have had to deal with mental health. Sports is a tool we use to teach kids about life so why not combine clinics with teaching kids mental health skills.”

The Port Hardy trip was planned after an initial 140 project donated equipment and old uniforms.

Wells then learned of two recent teen suicides in the area and reached out to the Gwa’salaNakwaxda’xw band manager.

“It’s one thing to donate equipment. It’s another to show you really care by visiting,” said Wells.

“The girls were willing to pay their own way there but we got some local sponsorship.”

When the contingent of players and adults arrived at the reserve they discovered an entirely different world with no cell phone reception.

“When you drive to the park here you see stores and all the stuff we have here. There, we saw broken down homes and kids just playing on the street. It was difficult to see and felt so good to help,” said 2001 Heat member Jessie Westrate.

The girls quickly discovered there was no organized teams.

Ball season consisted of kids and parents coming together for a slopitch game.

Delta rowers win nine medals at US Masters

A small contingent from the Delta Deas Rowing Club (DDRC) made their presence known at the U.S. Masters Championship in Oakland, California recently.

DDRC’s team of 10 rowers entered 21 events and won nine medals in all, including three golds, three silvers and three bronze.

The largest and most competitive sprint rowing regatta in North America, this year’s US Masters featured the best rowers from 101 clubs across the continent, including many former national team rowers.

Some notable races included both the men’s and women’s G (over 65) quads, where both Delta boats won handily.

Three Delta crews qualified for the six-boat mixed G Doubles final and DDRC came away with a gold and a silver.

This regatta solidified DDRC’s reputation as a strong competitor among the top rowing clubs in North America.

Delta Deas Rowing Club’s Jim Norris, Gayle Hubbard, Judy Kelly and Richard Stout at the U.S. Masters Championships in Oakland, California.

With just one more sprint rowing event in the rowing season, DDRC athletes will be refocusing their training to compete at several fall long distance races in B.C. and the U.S. Meanwhile, local rowers are busy on the international stage this week representing Canada at the 2018 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

DDRC’s Tracy Van Asseldonk is competing in the para-rowing PR1 single event. She was fourth earlier this season at the 2018 Gavirate Para Rowing International Regatta in Italy.

The Lattimer brothers from Ladner are also Canadian colours in Bulgaria.

Maxwell Lattimer and Patrick Keane are looking to build upon their fourth place finishes at World Cup 1 and World Cup 3 events.

Maxwell’s younger brother, Aaron Lattimer will compete in the lightweight men’s single, building upon his experience from the 2017 World Championships.

Olivia Sheppard (centre) celebrates her goal.

Goals can be hard to come by when you have spent much of your NCAA soccer career as a central defender.

That’s why Olivia Sheppard will certainly cherish her performance on Sunday night.

The 20-year-old South Delta Secondary graduate scored her firstever collegiate goal in the Princeton Tigers 2-1 home field win over Hofstra.

Getting just her second start of the season in midfield, Sheppard scored 94-seconds into the match for the nationally 23rd-ranked Tigers. She converted a pass from Tomi Kennedy from about 10-yards out.

Princeton took a 2-0 lead before Hofstra cut the deficit in half before the interval. The win improved the Tigers to 5-1-0 on the season with a big test up next on Thursday when No. 8 and Big East favourite Georgetown University.

dent aid deal to the renowned Ivy League school after an outstanding youth career that included two years in the Whitecaps Elite Girls Program which paved the way for the Princeton offer. She also helped the Sun Devils win silver and bronze medals in her Grades 10 and 12 years respectively.

The pre-med student has been a fixture in the Tigers’ starting 11 since her freshman season, helping them them reach the quarter-finals of last year’s NCAA Championships.

CONTINUED from Page 38 The first session didn’t happen until several hours later after enough participants were rounded up. There were a wide range of ages and ability — girls and boys.

“It’s too bad they have no other options to play certain levels but it was interesting too,” said Olivia Malesku, another 2001 Heat player. “For us, we take it so serious where it’s almost like a job. For them, it’s someone knocking on the door asking if they want to play. It definitely makes it fun.”

The trip brought 140’s mentors closer together too, including the youngest member 11-year-old Katie Barczi who had “big sisters” to look up to for the first time in her life.

“We definitely were going into something we didn’t expect,” said Haley Reid, a member of the 2003 Delta Heat. “We also knew we had each other and could count on each other. It was cool especially with Katie and the age difference.”

The band showed their appreciation by holding a potlatch for their visitors — consisting of plenty of food and dancing.

“They really welcomed us and really wanted to show what they were passionate about and that’s singing and dancing,” said Westrate. “It was interesting to see everything we have and everything they don’t but at that potlatch everyone was the same.”

As Westrate begins her Grade 12 year with her Heat teammates, she wishes more Metro Vancouver teens could experience such a trip.

“Everyone needs to try and do something like that.

“My mind was so opened up. It definitely was a learning experience that we don’t know enough about. We are living on their land. I had no idea about their reserve until they told us about it.”

Another potential 140 trip could see them heading to the Merritt area sometime next year. To learn more about them visit www.140sports.ca.

WHYTE, Mary 1933 - 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce Mary

Whyte (Brennan) passed away peacefully on Friday, August 31st, 2018 at her residence at Augustine House, Ladner, BC. Full of life and having a beautiful soul and heart, she will always be remembered for her smile, laughter and her outgoing personality.

Mary was born February 26, 1933 to Joseph and Josephine Brennan in Dublin, Ireland where she was raised with her four sisters Rita, Kathleen, Angela and Bernadette. Mary’s Registered Nursing degree allowed her to travel to Suez, Egypt where she met her husband, Philip who was immediately smitten by her. They were married shortly after on New Year’s Day, January 1, 1957.

Philip and Mary began to travel where they settled down in Vancouver, Canada to start a family. Mary stayed at home to raise the couple’s two sons, Stephen and Robert and then continued her career as a Registered Nurse at St. Vincent’s Hospital and Holy Family Hospital in Vancouver, BC. They lived in Richmond for 25 years before moving to Ladner for the past 20 years. Mary and Philip enjoyed boating, skiing and traveling.

After Philip passed in August, 2010, Mary remained active enjoying her many passions which included hiking, biking, cross country skiing, cruising and travelling the world. Mary was an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and kept very busy with Elder College, singing in the choir, volunteering, aerobics and lawn bowling.

She was an inspiration to everyone who knew her and remarked several times before her passing, “I have enjoyed a wonderful and truly blessed life.”

FARLOW, David Richard With heavy hearts we announce the death of Dave, born May 16, 1930, passed away August 27, 2018. Dave is survived by his loving wife Shirley of 63 years and his sons Ric (Cherie), Steve (Brenda), 2 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Dave was born in Vancouver where he attended Van Tech school and began his apprenticeship as a machinist with Boyle Brothers. In 1970 with a partner, Dave started a machine shop in Richmond called “Decade Industries”. The majority of the work came from the Forestry and Airline industries, employing numerous staff over the years. Business travel included places such as England, Germany and Singapore.

Left to cherish her memory are her sister Bernadette Frost (Brennan) of Telford, England, her son Stephen Whyte (Marie) of Sechelt, BC, her son Robert Whyte (Angela) and her grandchildren Kyle and Nicole of Dallas Texas, her stepdaughter Ann Denny (Whyte) and her children Charles and Frederick of Hampshire, UK. Mary will also be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews, Sean, Joe, Kathryn, Andrew, Joy and Nicholas.

Funeral Mass to celebrate her life will be held at Sacred Heart Church, 3900 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC on Friday, September 21, 2018 at 11:30 am, with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

Mary, Mom and G-Ma will be truly missed by all that she touched and loved.

Retiring in the late 80’s, Dave and Shirley moved to Ladner. They enjoyed many years with family and friends at the Double R Ranch in Birch Bay, clearing their lot, setting up house in garden sheds and having camp fire nights. Many memories were made traveling in their motor home to Osoyoos, fishing up at Quinsam River, Derby Reach and spending several years as snowbirds in El Centro California.

Dave was a member of the Ladner K40 Club, a volunteer and director of the McKee Seniors Centre. He was a great sports enthusiast supporting his family in fastball, softball, soccer, the Delta Islanders Lacrosse, the New West Salmonbellies and the Vancouver Stealth.

Dave will be missed by all that knew him. No service as per Dave’s wishes. Donations may be made to the Delta Hospital Foundation or the SPCA.
