Outdated agricultural plan among issues raised

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

Four of Delta’s six mayoral candidates got to talk farming in a debate hosted by the Delta Farmers’ Institute in Ladner last Wednesday evening. About 100 attended the event at Harris Barn to hear from Sylvia Bishop, Jim Cessford, George Harvie and Moneca Kolvyn in a forum open only to members of the farming community. A common theme that quickly emerged from all candidates is that the city must work directly and closely with farmers to address their issues. On the issue of Delta’s agricultural plan, approved by Delta council in 2011, Cessford said it’s outdated, requiring input from farmers. Kolvyn echoed that view, saying, “It needs to be motivated and led by the pioneers, the farmers. I think the whole thing should be scrapped. There’s a lot of things that need to be changed and it needs to be directed by the people who are doing

Hear from the candidates

The Delta Chamber of Commerce is organizing a pair of mayoral allcandidates meetings. The first one will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at South Delta Secondary from 7 to 9 p.m. The second forum is on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at North Delta Secondary, also from 7 to 9 p.m. it every day, not by council people.” Bishop said, “Absolutely, definitely, I’d be willing to meet with the DFI, farmer representatives and consult with the farmers on the plan and any issues arising from the plan. It does raise more questions than it answers and there are sections in it that are outdated.” The need for a processing plant, water rates and improved fresh water supply for Westham Island are big issues raised in the plan still outstanding, she said.

*restrictions apply

Saying a lot of work has already been carried out as a result of the plan, Harvie noted he’d be in favour of reviews by Delta’s Agricultural Advisory Committee, which could do a “report card” annually. When asked about what offsets Delta should demand for the loss off farmland, all candidates said more compensation must be a given. Cessford raised the Enviro-Smart issue, saying he doesn’t support composting operations taking up farmland because it sets a dangerous precedent. He added agricultural impact assessments should be a requirement. “We need a city agrologist to defend against such encroachments in the future. If we had one, perhaps Enviro-Smart would not be where it is today, on ALR land,” he said. Asked for their views on the province’s orderin-council that requires the city to get approval of any bylaw changes in the Agricultural Land Reserve, Harvie said he’s in favour of keeping it in place.

The ballot for next month’s civic election is set. As of last Friday afternoon’s filing deadline at city hall, 43 candidates have formally entered the races for mayor, councillor and school trustee in Delta. The race to replace Lois Jackson, who is retiring as mayor after 19 years, has a field of six.

Independents Kay Khilvinder Hale and Craig Decraene added their names late last week to the list of those seeking one of six council seats, bringing the total in that race to 20. As far as those seeking one of seven school trustee seats, long-time incumbent Dale Saip and newcomer David Luey were the final names added to the list of candidates, bringing the total to 17. The election is Oct. 20

A city councillor is so concerned about a memo written after a contentious 2013 meeting regarding the Enviro-Smart composting operation in East Ladner he has filed a freedom of information (FOI) request with Metro Vancouver. Coun. Robert Campbell, who is seeking re-election with Team Delta, announced last Friday he has filed the FOI. Authored by Ray Robb, Metro Vancouver’s environmental and regulatory enforcement manager, the memo has recently gained widespread circulation in the community. The memo calls into question statements and actions made by then Delta CAO

George Harvie, who is running for mayor under the Achieving for Delta banner. “I am angered, puzzled and disappointed to learn — more than five years after the event — that Mr. Harvie strenuously opposed public consultation to discuss the Enviro-Smart composting operation in Ladner,” said Campbell. “I believe the public has a right to know all of the facts.” Campbell’s FOI calls for the release of all relevant documents pertaining to the March 28, 2013 meeting. Robb’s memo — addressed to five senior Metro Vancouver officials following the meeting — contained several observations, including that Harvie made several

statements against an air quality permit. Harvie, who sat down with the Optimist to discuss the memo, said he has done nothing wrong and that the record shows that. “The fact is this meeting was five years ago,” said Harvie. “The public record shows why I was there. The public record shows that I received direction from city council and as the city manager my role is to follow the direction of council and I did that.” “I was there in March representing council. I have never been known to be a rude person, but I have been known to be firm and I was adamant that this was not a good piece of bylaw legislation of which council gave me direction to express that.”

Delta hosting meeting on composter

The City of Delta will be hosting a public information meeting on Thursday, Sept. 27 to bring residents up to speed on the issues surrounding the Green for Life (GFL) Enviro-Smart composting facility in East Ladner. The meeting will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Harris Barn, 4140 Arthur Dr., Ladner. Viewing of a series of display boards will take place between 6 and 7 p.m. A Delta staff presentation followed by public comments and questions will take place between 7 and 8:30 p.m.

The Delta Town & Country Inn has been a gathering spot for both tourists and locals over the years. The hotel will close its doors on Oct. 9.

Last days for a local landmark A community hub for half a century, Delta Town & Country Inn is closing its doors forever 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 might be showing its age but it’s also a sentimental Delta landmark that’s been around longer than most people can remember. The Delta Town & Country Inn has played host to countless guests and functions for over 50 years, but will soon be torn down to make way for Gateway’s $70-million casino/hotel complex. The restaurant is scheduled to close its doors next Tuesday, while the hotel at the junction of highways 17A and 99 will close for good on Oct. 9. What made the old hotel so special for so many has been its employees, many of whom have worked there for over 20, 30 and even 40 years. The longest-serving employee at the Meadows restaurant is Debbie Bown, who started in 1974. She says it’s a special place enjoyed by many regulars. “It’s always been a mellow kind of place and everything has gone smoothly, always a good atmosphere,” says Bown, who now lives in Aldergrove but continues to commute to the Town & Country. Bown was married in the hotel, having met her husband there. Their kids were also married at the T&C. “I’m sad and probably going to cry when it’s done, but things have to progress,” she says. “I’ve had a great time working here and I’m going to miss this place. I know the locals are quite sad about it. There’s lots of memories.” Karen Morris, a 34-year employee who married her first husband there

and met her second husband, a guest, at the Town & Country, can see the hotel from her kitchen window in Ladner. She says it’ll be sad that view will soon be gone. “We had a lot of laughs and they’re like family in here, the staff and regulars, and over half of us working here have been here over 25 years. We’ve spent more time together than we did (with) our spouses; one big family through good times and sad times together.”

Karen Morris Morris says a few celebrities have paid a visit over the years, including rapper Eminem, who, when asked who he was, quipped he was a vacuum cleaner salesman. Long-time Delta residents and former civic councillors Doug Massey and John Savage say the hotel is a source of countless memories, and many people have a sentimental attachment, but it’s also time to move on. “I remember when they allowed us to place a large billboard on their property next to highway promoting the saving of Delta Hospital,” says Massey. “I also remember attending many functions there, including Tsawwassen treaty negotiations, public hearings, birthdays and celebrations of life.” Saying he remembers many political events being held there over the

years, Savage says it was one of the few places in the city that had adequate meeting space. “It’s been a grand place to be but time goes on and things change. Time has come when we have to accept that reality and move ahead,” adds Savage. Ladner resident Trudy Howard says it’s going to be sad to see the old hotel come down. “We live in Ladner now, but I guess growing up in Richmond, every time we came through the tunnel we passed the Town & Country. It is a landmark, but over time it’s become more. We have gone to the T&C for Christmas lunches in the beautifully decorated dining room, my husband’s mother and her husband held their reception there, I’ve gone to craft fairs there, we know people who played tennis there. It’s just always been there and somehow become a backdrop in our life... and soon it will be gone.” She says over the past couple of years they’ve rediscovered the restaurant. “Every Sunday, just like a lot of other locals, we go there for breakfast. It’s hard to explain what the Meadows has become to us. The first thing, the most important thing, and what makes Meadows Meadows, has to be the ladies who work there. These ladies, some who have worked there for decades, are pretty darn wonderful.” Town & Country owner Ron Toigo, whose father Peter purchased the hotel in the early 1980s, says it was a Delta hub thanks to its valuable meeting rooms and central location. “Every political meeting that I ever recall has taken

history for this area.” During the casino application, he told the Optimist even if there hadn’t been a redevelopment proposal he would likely be taking a hard look

at the future of the site. He also noted he would not be involved with the casino/hotel, other than leasing the site to Gateway. The new complex is scheduled to open in 2020.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

have memories of attending many a public function at the soon-to-be-demolished Delta Town & Country Inn, but it’s a visit for personal reasons a couple of decades ago that I recall most vividly. When you combine a central location with plentiful gathering space, you get an amenity that’s a crucial piece of the city’s fabric, which is exactly what the old hotel at the junction of highways 17A and 99 has been for the past half-century. There’s no doubt it’s been showing its age in recent years, but if those ’80s-era drapes could talk, boy could they tell some stories. The first time I can recall being at the Town & Country was for a Miss Delta pageant in the mid-1980s and the reason I remember that is because I decided to use the entrance north of the one by the old Shell gas station, which is otherwise known as the Steveston Highway exit. Once I got my bearings, I was back at the hotel all the time as it was the go-to place for all manner of gatherings, those of the political variety being the most memorable. I can still recall school trustees, back when they had taxing powers, getting an earful from a standing room-only crowd of irate ratepayers in the late ’80s, which was around the same time Dr. Stan Wilbee bested Lois Jackson and others to win the federal Tory nomination. Over the years I have attended all kinds of functions, from celebrations to mark the 100th anniversaries of both Ladner Pioneer May Days and the Delta Chamber of Commerce to some painfully long Hats Off galas. However, the memory I hold most dear, and the one I’m finally able to laugh about now, dates back to the summer of 1999 when the hotel was offering a swim and dine deal that got you use of its pool as well as a barbecue dinner. My son was about 18 months at the time, so we thought it would be a great idea to spend a sunny evening splashing about. Everything was going swimmingly, that is until the projectile vomiting started, which, as you can imagine, was more than a little off-putting to everyone in the spray zone, which was on the patio, not in the pool, although that didn’t seem to make it any less mortifying for new parents. The Town & Country will soon be gone, but I’ll have that memory forever.

It’s a new frontier as marijuana coming to store not near you

he coming month of October looks daunting to me. In a month or so, we will be voting for our local governors and participating in an election reform referendum. If that weren’t enough, recreational marijuana use will be legal in Canada and the process of sorting through the logistics of the supply chain will begin. There will certainly be a correlation amongst these two in years to come as marijuana retail will most certainly become a mainstay civic and provincial election issue. The B.C. government has tabled the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act (CCLA) and there are a few things that we know. We know that you have to be 19 years old to purchase, sell or consume recreational pot and we know that you can carry a maximum of 30 grams in a public place. We also know that the Liquor Distribution Branch will oversee the distribution and retail of various products in a monopoly situation, at least initially. There are approximately 100 applications for retail licences on the books and it may be that a handful of private retailers will be ready to open doors on Oct. 17. The first bricks and mortar government store will be in Kamloops and the provincial government has given cities and municipalities the power to choose if they would like to offer government retail.

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

Current “dispensaries” in Vancouver, Vancouver Island and elsewhere will be required to apply for a legal retail licence. Vancouver is asking $30,000 for these licences. Currently, government, and/or private retailers, will only be selling flowered buds. Edibles and other products, including an assortment of oils, etc., are not currently on the radar of the provincial and federal governments. Potential retailers and current dispensaries offering medical edible product are not too happy about this situation. British Columbia will also offer online retail for the market and has said it will have enough wholesale product to take care of demand. The government has over 30 wholesale suppliers lined up with companies like Aurora and Canopy growing cannabis in massive greenhouse operations. The government has put restrictions on growing opera-

tions but Delta is off to the races with a substantial wholesale growing footprint. Our civic government has not indicated it will entertain retail operations but that could change. As the new sector grows, the food application of cannabis will be better understood and many believe this is where there will be billions and billions of dollars of revenues. Aurora Cannabis stock was up 20 per cent this week as rumours circulated that Coca Cola Bottling is looking into the space for non-THC based beverages. Continental Brands, a beverage alcohol company, and Molson Breweries have already invested in the space. It is rumoured that Diageo, the world’s largest spirits brand and sister company to Guinness PLC, is looking to pour billions in to the cannabis sector. What does this all mean for us here in Delta? If you want to look at your cannabis and talk to an expert retailer, you will likely have to drive through the tunnel to Vancouver for now. The other options are to order online site unseen or buy from the status quo black market. There is opportunity for a supply chain that makes sense here in Delta but it is likely an election cycle or two away.

Home buyer steering clear of East Ladner due to the stink Editor: Re: Put smell to the test, Murphy’s Law, Sept. 13 We recently sold our house in Tsawwassen and were looking to downsize. We want to stay in South Delta and it doesn’t matter whether it’s Ladner or Tsawwassen. Several prop-

erties in East Ladner interested us, however when we went to look at them we were horrified by the stench emanating from the Enviro-Smart composting facility. There was no way we would even consider moving anywhere near there.

I feel bad for the people that live in that area. To add insult to injury, one can smell the stink while driving on Highway 99 from the pot farm and now they want to double the size. God help East Ladner residents. Rick Zakrzewski

Old fashioned customer service alive and well at Tsawwassen repair shop Editor: I want to give a big shout out to Tsawwassen Collision. I took my vehicle to have the windshield repaired. I had a suctionmounted GPS on it. When I returned, the GPS was there, the power cord was there, but the suction

mount was not there. After a thorough search I went back to the shop and reported it. I was contacted several days later, by Chris saying they would pay to replace the missing part. The day the new part came in I found the old one beside the driver’s

seat on the floor. What was their response? Glad you found it, but we will still pay for the new one because we feel responsible. Now that is good old fashioned customer service. Steve Scott

Unfinished business might never get finished Editor: Re: Lois Jackson points to unfinished business for decision to join Harvie slate, Sept. 13 Lois Jackson was first elected to Delta council

in 1973. She’s been mayor since 1999. Now she wants to return to council because she has unfinished business. I was in Grade 3 when she was first elected to

council. Now I’m in my mid-50s. At this rate, I’m not confident I’ll live long enough to see Jackson finish her business. Pat Johnson

Delta must get in driver’s seat on compost odours Editor: Re: Composter appealing Metro’s air quality permit, Sept. 6 Let me see if I’ve got this straight. At the end of August Delta council voted against an appeal of the air quality permit Metro Vancouver issued to the Enviro-Smart Green for Life composting facility in East Ladner. The vote was defeated on a tie. Then a week later Enviro-Smart Green for Life announced it would appeal the air quality permit. Further, Green for Life CEO Patrick Dovigi stated,

“We are also seeking a longer-term operating licence with the potential for additional capacity…” Clearly Delta council has been out-maneuvered and now Green for Life is in the driver’s seat. Most egregious is the suggestion that Green for Life wants to have a longer-term licence with potential for additional capacity when it has not solved existing odour problems. Harvest Power in Richmond is a similar compost facility that has earned thousands of odour complaints and is clos-

ing sometime next year. New Westminster, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody currently send their organic waste to the soon-to-close Harvest Power in Richmond. Should we presume that this is part of the “additional capacity” that is coming to East Ladner before the current Green for Life odour problems are solved? Which of the six mayoral candidates will step forward with a detailed plan to get back in the driver’s seat and solve this odour problem for South Delta? Keith Munro

Delay on odours is mystifying Editor: Re: Put to the smell test, Murphy’s Law, Sept. 13 As a Ladner household which values and regularly uses the Enviro-Smart facilities to deposit our yard waste, and on occasion has also experienced the site’s unfortunate odours, it’s mystifying as to why for years the smell has not been fully resolved. With the latest revelations of a 2013 memo between Delta’s former CAO and Metro Vancouver, will we ever really know who is at fault for this long-standing

unresolved issue? One only has to look at Metro Vancouver’s website to see this contentious issue goes back as far as 2008. Minutes from a Metro Vancouver environment committee meeting in May of that year advise of why a pollution abatement order was not issued to the company. Approximately 90 complaint letters had been received about foul odours. Because this site is on ALR land and also operates as a turf farm, in addition to its composting of green waste, there are

a multitude of confusing and overlapping regulations and government reps (and egos) involved. It’s no wonder complaints by residents appear to get lost in this bureaucratic maze. Hopefully the public information meeting being held Sept. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Harris Barn will clarify and result in solutions to show how residents, Enviro-Smart and government can together come up with acceptable actions because composting is so necessary for our community’s environment and for our valued agriculture.

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”.

It’s really simple and makes a big difference. Ladner’s Gord Wright is promoting the good work of Canadian Blood Services and how important giving blood is after recently donating for the 150th time. Wright, who moved to Ladner with his family from Vancouver Island two years ago, donated for the first time when he was just 16. “My mom was a donor. I was practicing driving and drove her in and thought why not,” Wright recalled. “I fainted my first time, but after that it’s been smooth going.” As his job takes him throughout the Lower Mainland, he usually donates at a clinic in Vancouver. “I’m just amazed that I’m at a clinic on Oak Street in Vancouver among three million people and there are empty beds.

Review Panel Secretariat to hold Information Sessions on Environmental Assessment Process

Ladner’s Gord Wright recently donated blood for the 150th time. I’ll sit there and have my cookies and not see another patient for 10 or 15 minutes,” he said. “It is very easy. I find the process very simple. It’s a finger prick and a questionnaire. I’m in and out in like an hour.” Wright said the need for blood is constant. “It’s so important. With 150 volunteer hours I have helped 450 people with blood because every donation goes to three people in some way,” he said.

“Canadian Blood Services will send you text messages from time to time saying your blood is doing this or that. It’s pretty generic, but it’s neat to know that an hour spent in one place can be so meaningful.” Upcoming Canadian Blood Services clinics in Delta include: Sunday, Oct. 14 at North Delta Secondary from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 20 at South Delta Secondary from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.

The Secretariat will present information about the panel review process and will be available to answer questions related to the review process. Please note that members of the Review Panel will not be present at these sessions, nor will the Secretariat be discussing the Project or the potential environmental effects of the proposed Project. The Information sessions will be held in locations within the Project area and its associated marine shipping area. Dates and times in the Delta area are as follows: Date / Time Thursday September 20, 2018 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday September 21, 2018 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

You are cordially invited to Deltassist’s AGM on September 26th Come and join us at the ribbon cutting ceremony of our new Community Garden.

Kid gardeners show their skills

The Earthwise Society’s Great Big Giant Contest for kids will wrap up early next month with a special event. The contest, which kicked off at the Earthwise Bee-Friendly Plant Sale in May, put kids’ gardening skills to the test by encouraging them to grow the biggest pumpkin or the tallest sunflower. Children all across Delta planted sunflower and pumpkin seeds in their

gardens and have been carefully nurturing the seedlings all summer long. Earthwise will be hosting a Great Big Giant Contest wrap up at a special Farm Store harvest event on Saturday, Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants are invited to bring in their pumpkins for a weigh-in while sunflower growers should take a photo of themselves standing beside their giant flowers with a measur-

30-50% off blinds

ing stick. Photos will be displayed on a special super-sized sunflower wall of fame. Don’t have a sunflower or pumpkin? Bring in another giant vegetable that you have grown and have it weighed too. Kids under the age of 12 can register their homegrown giant specimens. For more information on how to register, visit www. earthwisesociety.bc.ca or call 604-946-9828.

Say hello to Bjorn

Beautiful Bjorn was originally adopted from RAPS but sadly returned. He is a gorgeous and affectionate kitty who loves people! Bjorn is very playful and loves to chase and box the feather wand...this boy can play for hours! He also has a very cuddly side and really enjoys snuggling with our staff. He was not the biggest fan of the other cats, but seems to have settled right into the communal cat room. Bjorn may be able to live with another calm and respectful kitty. Bjorn eats a strict diet formulated for his urinary tract/bladder health (he really likes it!) and does receive a monthly injection for his bladder as well, which he will need to continue getting on an ongoing basis. Bjorn’s new family will receive 25% off his monthly injections (and all other services) at our RAPS Hospital! This is only a small price to pay for all of the love and happiness that Bjorn will bring to his new family’s life! If you think might be the guy for you, please contact RAPS at 604-285-7724 or info@rapsbc.com for more information.

‘Ambassadors’ make Tsawwassen even sunnier Business association once again provides work experience for young people with disabilities

There are people working behind the scenes to keep Tsawwassen’s commercial core looking good. For the past three years, the Tsawwassen Business Improvement Association (more commonly known by its moniker of Sunny Tsawwassen) has employed young “community ambassadors” to clean, paint, plant and partake in other community improvements. Started in partnership with the LEAP program of the Delta Community Living Society, the business association employs people with disabilities to help them gain valuable work experience. “Our purpose with this program isn’t simply to complete a task of cleaning and beautification,” explained Lydia Elder, executive director of TBIA.

“It’s an opportunity to get real-world work experience for our community ambassadors.” The youngsters have made some valuable contributions to the community in recent years, with landscaping, flowerplanting, cleaning and painting in front of several businesses. This year, the TBIA hired Jason, Georgia, Andy and Gauri. Jason, 19, has been with Sunny Tsawwassen for all three summers since the program began. Most recently, Jason, Georgia and Gauri picked up litter at the inaugural Bathtub Race & Festival in Boundary Bay. He said he wants to gain more work experience like this to one day become independent and self-sufficient. To provide advice on that front, Terry Koroluk,

Much like these young people, a lot of Koroluk’s work happens behind the scenes to enhance

visitor experience to the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. He does all the things you might expect of a maintenance worker, from sweeping the sidewalks and parking lots to keeping tile floors and washrooms clean. He also picks up litter, handles waste management and recycling, cleans up spills, waters and rakes and sweeps up the gardens, landscapes and so much more. Koroluk shared why he loves his job: the variety, the sense of accomplishment in completing different tasks and working in the community he calls home. Elder said it was a great message to share with LEAPers who are eager to find out how they can apply their newly-learned skills.

She’s now able to talk the language of the gridiron

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

Once again, it’s that time of year when the things that come out of my mouth are often shocking, even to me. They are things I would never have uttered, say, 10 or 12 years ago. That was because I didn’t know the language of football back then. Now, as it turns out, I do. “Awesome!” I screamed the other day, this, during one of the first blessed games of the season. “Another first down!” Back in the day, I would not have spoken of first downs — primarily because I didn’t know

what they were. A first down would have been just as mysterious, and just as nonsensical, say, as a second up. But not any more. “Do you think they’ll go for it, or call in the kicker?” I asked the husband last Sunday. Yes, that was me talking. It occurred to me that perhaps I was being channelled by some ESPN sports commentator. “They’ll call for the kicker,” said the husband, who has become more than a little delighted that his wife has become fluent in football. “Their QB has quite the arm,” I have found myself saying. “That pass was brilliant.” I will pause, and follow the comment with this: “Wait a minute. Did I just say that?” “Yes,” the husband will reply. “You did say that.” Back in the day, I wouldn’t have known a QB from a DW or a JM, and a pass would have been, well, something that

appeared on a report card. Either that, or a route you would take when driving through the mountains. These days — heck — I am able to speak of things I’d never heard of before. Like lines of scrimmage, say. And blitzes. And intentional groundings. “Their only option now is a Hail Mary,” I observed recently as the clock was winding down on a game. Yep. Me again. Strange, but true: I actually know what a Hail Mary means. The new football me knows that a sack is something that holds potatoes, but it’s also something else. The pocket? Sure, it’s where you put your wallet, your cellphone and your hands, but there’s more to it than that. Odd, I know. But come Sunday, I will be making statements I never would have found myself making. Apparently, I have arrived where football is concerned. No idea how this came to be. But I’m only glad that it did.

Ladner Legion’s 90th anniversary

Legion celebrating nine decades in Ladner Also around this time a bowling alley was purchased and moved to a building which had been erected adjoining the high school. The branch’s main form of income was from this bowling alley. In the 1950s, the branch received its liquor licence and was moved to the foot of Delta Street in the heart of Ladner Village. In 1970, a third move was made to the current location on Delta Street. Branch 61 is the third owner of the building, constructed in 1922 for the Bank of Montreal and later a BC Government Liquor Store. “Our beer cooler is in the old safe of the bank,” said manager Jacky Hillairet. “Membership in the early days was all veterans. Their wives could not be members back then, but when the Legion brought in the Ladies Auxiliary then the wives could join.” Hillairet said a lot of Legions around the province have lost their ladies auxiliaries, but Ladner’s is still going strong.

The Ladner Legion is celebrating 90 years of service to the community this year. Over that history there have been many changes, but what has remained constant is the friendly atmosphere, good food, comradery and giving back for the betterment of Delta. The Ladner branch was chartered on March 21, 1928 and was originally known as the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. In 1960, the organization was renamed the Royal Canadian Legion. The original building was deeded to the Ladner branch in 1945 by the Municipality of Delta and was located where the Ladner Community Centre is now situated. At that time the building housed the Dugout, a servicemen’s canteen which had been established for the benefit of members of the armed forces stationed in the area. When it closed, an estimated 50,000 armed forces personnel had passed through the doors. wool • laminate •

We wanted the younger ones because we knew that was the only way that the Legion could thrive and survive,” said Taggart. “People feel safe in our Legion. Anyone can come in for a drink, for a meal or to enjoy some entertainment.” President Al Ridgway said Ladner also continues to have that small town feel. “So many friendships have been made. Singles will come in for lunch and meet someone and all of a sudden they are both coming in and meeting for lunch once a month,” added Hillairet. “Another thing that makes us a success is our kitchen. It’s fantastic — the food is so good.” Home to the Delta Police Pipe Band, the Legion is also a meeting place for a number of community groups and organizations. “It’s just a great community place,” added Ridgway.

CONGRATULATIONS

to Ladner’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 61 on their 90th anniversary!!

THANK YOU

for your many years of charitable service as a prominent leader in our community!!

The Ladner Legion prides itself on being a part of the community in every way possible. Whether that’s sourcing local meat, fish and produce for the food for its kitchen to fundraising and giving back, the Ladner Legion is all about its community. “We are very, very active in the community. It means everything to everybody for our members to be a part of the community,” said president Al Ridgway. “It seems every weekend we are doing something. Even if we raise just a few hundred bucks, it all goes into the kitty.” One of the major fundraising events is the popular meat draws held every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Executive member Bob Taggart said after the bills are paid, everything else gets donated locally. Other fundraisers include the May Days beer garden, a pancake breakfast during the Quilt Walk

The Legion’s generosity extends to scholarships and bursaries for students. and Car Show, weekly open mic and jam sessions, special dinners and events. The Legion supports slo-pitch, lacrosse and hockey teams, which in turn help support the Legion by stopping by after games for a drink or a meal. The Poppy Fund is another major initiative that helps the Legion assist its veterans. “We have wheelchairs, walkers, crutches — if they need something, all they have to do is come in and sign a form and they have access to this equipment,” said Taggart.

Benefactors of the Legion’s generosity are vast, but over the years more than $250,000 has been donated to Delta Hospital. Funds have also been donated to Deltassist, Delta Hospice, Meals on Wheels, Operation Red Nose and the Torch Run for Special Olympics. The Ladner Legion is also the core organizer of the annual Christmas gift and food hampers. And although the primary focus is to keep funds local, the Legion does give back to the Variety Club, Kidney Foundation and BC Cancer.

Ladner Legion’s 90th anniversary

Ladies Auxiliary plays a big role at the Ladner Legion

The Ladies Auxiliary is a driving force in the success of the Ladner Legion. Started on Oct. 17, 1944 by the dedicated wives of soldiers both home and abroad, their main objective was to help and support young men through the Royal Canadian Legion. As the years have progressed, the Ladies Auxiliary has put on dinners, dances, raffles and more to raise money for many charities, including BC Children’s Hospital, Heart & Stroke Foundation, Cancer

Society, disaster relief through the Red Cross, the George Derby Veterans Centre and Multiple Sclerosis. Locally, the Ladies Auxiliary is responsible for providing funds to school bursaries for grads, Delta Hospital, Christmas hampers, the Delta Police Pipe Band and other local charities. The ladies also volunteer their services to the branch when needed. This includes catering all funerals, D-Day and Remembrance Day events. They also serve three

luncheons during the year for veterans at the George Derby Centre. Fundraising is constant throughout the year, including the popular beef on a bun during May Days, the Western Night dinner and dance at the end of September and a Christmas lunch with Santa in December. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month (excluding July and August). New members are always welcome. Learn more at: https://rcl61. com.

Delta honours Legion for its many contributions

In honour of the 90th anniversary of the Ladner Legion, Mayor Lois Jackson presented the organization with a Longterm Contribution Award from the City of Delta. The award recognizes the Ladner Legion for its outstanding community service and the enduring positive impact it has had in Delta.

The award presentation took place last Saturday as part of the branch’s 90th anniversary celebration. Also at the celebration, Jackson presented a $10,000 heritage conservation grant towards replacing the roof of the historic building the Legion occupies. “I’m honoured to be a part of this milestone

celebration for an organization that has contributed so much towards the betterment of our community,” said Jackson. “The Legion’s ongoing advocacy and annual Poppy Campaign remind us of the importance of recognizing past sacrifices and the courage of those who served and still serve today.”

‘Sisters’ reunite on Genesis stage

Marion Bridge tells a humourous and touching tale of an estranged family 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

Ladner’s Genesis Theatre will open its 2018/19 season this weekend with Marion Bridge, a humourous and touching story of three estranged sisters returning home to Cape Breton to care for their dying mother. Written by Daniel MacIvor and directed by Roy Surette, the play stars Nicola Cavendish, Lynda Boyd and Beatrice Zeilinger. Boyd is an award-winning actor/singer with an extensive background in theatre, music, film and television. She starred as Rose Doyle in CBC’s hit series Republic of Doyle for six seasons for which she garnered her third Canadian Screen Award nomination. “Nicky Cavendish and I are good friends and I wanted to do a play again, so she said let’s do a play together,” said Boyd. “She found this play and it has taken a couple of years for us to find the dates. I’m thrilled to be starring in this. It’s a great production.” Cavendish is an award-winning and wellseasoned actress, having

She was a member of the Shaw Theatre Festival for five seasons and appeared in the Broadway production of Blythe Spirit with Geraldine Page. She is well known for her signature role in Shirley Valentine, having performed it in 675 shows across the country.

Zeilinger is the recipient of three Jessie Richardson awards. She has toured North America, in particular with the awardwinning The Number 14, and has worked with many local theatre companies. Most recently, she was seen in the Arts Club’s touring production of Mom’s The Word: Nest ½

Empty. Surette said the entire team has done a wonderful job collaborating artistically and spiritually. “Marion Bridge was first produced by Mulgrave Road Theatre in Guysborough, Nova Scotia exactly 20 years ago,” he said. “The story of how family members connect

with each other and their community resonates as much now as when it was first written.” Performances are Saturday, Sept. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 23 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 each, available at: http://connect37.deltasd.bc.ca or by phone at 604-940-5550.

Theatrical experience offers look at life a century ago 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 community will get a chance to step back in time later this month and honour the history of Delta in a unique theatrical experience. On Saturday, Sept. 29, a community group of heritage and theatre arts volunteers will present Delta 1914-1918: A Historical Reenactment at Ladner’s historic Kirkland House. This reenactment will depict life in Delta during the First World War. With the support of the Kirkland House Foundation and in association with the City of Delta, the project will engage audiences in learning about families whose sons and daughters enlisted as soldiers and nurses as part of Canada’s Expeditionary Forces in France in 1914.

“With the 100th anniversary of the First World War Armistice coming this November, I wanted to find a way for audiences to honour and reflect upon the experience of young men and women from Delta who risked their lives to serve Canada in the Great War,” said project artistic director Peg Keenleyside. Keenleyside, who has created historical reenactments and devised theatre using historical documents for museums as well as theatre groups, is working with a number of local groups to stage the event, including Sidekick Players, Delta Youth Theatre and the Ladner Legion. Working with old letters, newspapers and written histories, she helps participants build real-life characters and act out events that would have been part

also an awareness event. We really need to honour our history and honour the families of the past. We still have a connection to a lot of those families and they need to be remembered and recognized.” She describes the performance as a hybrid of a live theatre experience. “We are not present-

ing a show. It’s more of a conversation in front of an audience,” she said. There will be a guide and the scenes will transition from year to year through the Kirkland House. It’s being presented in conjunction with BC Cultural Days. Tickets are free, but limited and available by pre-registration on BCCultureDays.ca. Performances will be at 2 and 5 p.m. “It’s a very different process than professional theatre with a script, but for me it has always been exciting to work this way,” Keenleyside said. “I’m very happy with how it has all come together. I’m really interested in this idea of heritage being a lived thing. Coming away from this show I hope people connect with Delta’s history and have a greater appreciation for it.”

Gala to benefit innovative school district programs 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

An elegant evening under the stars in support of innovative Delta School District programs is shaping up to be quite the night. The second annual Dirt & Candlelight Gala is set for Saturday, Sept. 29. The gala will feature a catered dinner under white tents, performances from the Vancouver Opera, auctions and a dance all in support of the Farm Roots Mini School and Delta’s fine arts academies.

It starts at 5:30 p.m. and will be held at the Farms Roots Mini School in Boundary Bay. Paige Hansen, district principal in charge of academies and choice programs, and Brooke Moore, district principal of inquiry and innovation, are coorganizing the evening. Hansen said ticket sales are going well and she expects a great night. “What is really neat is seeing the whole community (get) behind these unique programs,” she said. “For example, the number of quality auc-

tion items that have been donated shows that the community is fully behind our programs and what these programs do for our students and student learning.” Hansen said for the second year, they are partnering with the Vancouver Opera, which will be on hand for a number of performances as will a local band called the Retro Grades, which is made up of three senior leadership staff. Vancouver’s awardwinning Forage Catering will be handling the meal

that will feature as many locally sourced products as possible.

“That’s what I love so much about this event – it’s an elegant gala in a farm setting,” said Hansen. Silent and live auction items will include Bard on the Beach tickets, two tickets to the Craft Beer and Wilderness Retreat at Nootka Sound and a chance to experience cranberry picking right here in Delta. “You will actually get a chance to get in hip waders and go out into the field when it is flooded,” Hansen said. “It’s so cool. We have lots of items that tie back to the land and to

our community.” Last year the gala raised $10,000. Hansen is hoping to double that number. “The support we have received is just amazing,” she added. “I think what it means is that we are heading in the right direction with these programs and that people really understand that these programs connect kids to the bigger community and that they are relevant.” For tickets or more information, call 604952-5374 or go to: www. deltalearns.ca/dirtandcandlelight.

Author continues the adventure in children’s series 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 author Debra Ann Renner is launching the second book in her Bear and Raven adventure series. Bear and Raven (Lost in the Rainforest) sees Young Bear and Black Raven continue their journey across Canada. They are now passing through the Great Bear Rainforest in northern B.C. and come across

a few interesting and humorous characters. Two First Nations children, Michelle and McKenzie, have run away from the residential school they are forced to attend and now they are lost and in danger of not finding their way home. With winter approaching they will need help if they are going to survive. There is also a brave Salmon that jumps right into Young Bear’s arms for a chat.

A Bald Eagle and Black Raven hatch a plan together along with the Bear and Salmon to help the children. Renner will be on hand for a book signing at Black Bond Books in Ladner this Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. Renner was born in Eston, Sask., but spent most of her adult life working as a nurse in Calgary where she and her husband raised two daughters. After the birth

of a granddaughter, she moved to Tsawwassen. She started the Bear and Raven series because she loved reading stories to her granddaughter, but wanted her books to have educational value too. “This second book of the series took much more care and attention to get it just how I wanted it, so I did consult with a few First Nations people who have been through the residential schools system,

a cultural elder and others deeply affected,” she said. “For me, it had to be very sensitive and yet still appropriate for children.” Besides Black Bond Books, the book is available online through Red Tuque Books. Renner will also be at Vancouver Word, a Vancouver Public Library event on Sept. 30. “My goal is to read to the children at local schools and hopefully

Debra Ann Renner it might get picked for libraries who are trying to include self-published books,” she added.

Tsawwassen Rotarians are hosting annual event to mark Peace Day 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 Rotary Club will recognize UN International Peace Day with a special event tomorrow. The annual Peace Day celebration will be held at the peace pole in Rotary Square at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall at 3:30 p.m. Rotarians will be joined by officials from the City

of Delta, Delta South MLA Ian Paton, Delta MP Carla Qualtrough as well as members of the Delta police and fire departments. The Tsawwassen First Nation will also be a part of the celebration. “As peace is one of the objectives of Rotary, we are always working towards a peaceful world and peaceful communities,” said Rotarian John Anderson. “Because we regard

Delta as a peaceful community, we feel it is worth celebrating.” Along with remarks from the assembled guests, members of the Rotary Interact Club from South Delta Secondary will be on hand to speak about the eight pillars of peace (well-functioning government, good relations with neighbours, low levels of corruption, acceptance of the rights of others, equitable distri-

bution of resources, free flow of information, sound business environment and high level of human capital). Rotarians will also recognize a member of the community who contributes to making Delta a peaceful community with the inaugural Tsawwassen Rotary Club Peace Builder Award. The public is invited to come out and share in the event.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS QUESTION:

QUESTION:

I was in your store waiting to show you coins. I watched you buy gold jewelry off another lady.

My home furnace seems to be working ok but, I haven’t done any service or repairs on it in years. Is there something I can do to make sure it’s in good working order before the heating season starts?- Mike

You were putting some of it in a machine before you told her what Karat it was.What does that machine do?

ANSWER:

Doing things proactively is always a good idea. It’s a lot wiser to look after your heating equipment now, than to wait until it goes down in the dead of winter. Your furnace, should be cleaned and inspected annually.

Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268

Letting a professional clean out the inside of your furnace and inspect the Gas and the Electrical and all the components, increases the life and efficiency of your furnace. It also provides peace of mind for the safety of a Gas fueled appliance. The BC Safety Authority recommends regular maintenance on Gas Appliances to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. We can also do this for your Gas Fireplaces.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

Q: Are you suffering from daily headaches that are

QUESTION:

effecting your everyday life?

WHAT IS A MORTGAGE COMMITMENT?

A: Did you know that jaw and muscle function can play a big role

ANSWER:

in people suffering regular migraines or headaches? During the course of our lives, dental treatment is addressed at different times in multiple areas of the mouth. This can really throw a person’s jaw out of alignment and can lead to big issues like clicking or pain in the jaw when chewing, sensitive or tender teeth, ringing in the ears, limited opening of the mouth, or even cause teeth to become mobile. Some people even suffer from neck or upper back pain from old dental work. Dental headaches are commonly related to the jaw being too compressed in the joint which then effects the entire upper half of our body. Our team, at Riverside Dental, has had extensive training in the neuromuscular world of dentistry and how the function of muscles and jaw play such a big role in even simple things we do every day such as chewing. We offer our patients treatment that resolve these aches and relieve their everyday pain. Come by if you are suffering from any of these symptoms and to see if you are a candidate for this treatment.

Q: How long should full plate dentures last? A: This is a multifactorial answer. Foremost it depends

on how well you take care of them. Subsequently diet; the types of foods you eat significantly impact on the wear of your teeth. Course foods tend to wear out the chewing surfaces at a much quicker rate. White mint candies that have a sandy feeling coating are highly abrasive and destructive to artificial teeth. Your particular physiology can affect your fitting surfaces. For example, osteoporosis can affect the fitting surfaces by creating a faster rate of change to your underlying bone structures. Numerous other factors may also play into these scenarios. I create dentures to last at least seven to ten years using high quality products; dependent on the above conditions. If you have any other questions you would like answered, please do not hesitate to book a free consultation with my office. Or you can write to us via our website at bcdenturist.ca.

ANY ADVICE FOR SHARING CLOSET SPACE WITH A SPOUSE OR PARTNER?

ANSWER:

Glamorous walk-in closets are no longer just for the ladies, men like them too! But if you have to share a closet with your spouse or partner, my advice is to have designated areas within the closet for each person and to have a collaborative planning session with your significant other before organizing the closet. For example, each individual Alex Voogd will have different priorities, from storage vs. staging to Richmond, Delta, the preferred height of the shelving and hanging rods.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q: My friend got a big settlement from ICBC. Is my case worth that much?

QUESTION: Mom’s loneliness at home is such a worry. Suggestions?

A: It’s frustrating when you can’t get a clear answer to that question, but the honest

ANSWER:

answer is almost always “maybe”. The fact that you were involved in a huge accident isn’t all that important. In fact, someone rear-ended at low speed could have just as valuable of a claim as someone t-boned at a high velocity. In gauging the value of a claim, these factors are always considered:

Social isolation can be an unseen and insidious risk as we age. Interpersonal interactions decrease as family, friends, and spouses pass away, meanwhile adult children are historically living farther away from their hometowns and busy with their own families. For elders feeling isolated can lead to higher risks of: mortality, cognitive decline, long-term health issues, impaired mobility and depression. Isolation is not inevitable and by anticipating and planning for situations with your loved ones as they age, you can be a major influencer on their wellbeing. Some ways for families to engage with their elders: • Senior Centres – connection to social resources and group activities • Technology/FaceTime – regular phone or webcam chats with children and grandchildren • Volunteerism – gives a sense of purpose and meaning to help a cause they value • Living closer/ co-habitating – reduces fall risks, improves economics, inspires exercise & familial interactions • Group fitness – low-impact classes provide structure & reason to leave their house • In-Home Companionship – scheduled communication, activates hopefulness and allows options for accessible transportation to encourage connectedness & independence

4873 Delta Street, Delta, BC V4K 2T9 • 604-946-2199

I think I have the “flu”; my friend says I have a bad cold – what’s the difference?

How do I prepare my lawn in the fall? ANSWER

Ans. Thanks for this great question. Both are caused by viral infections and are contagious but there are several differences between influenza and the common cold. You can make the distinction between the two based on your symptoms. Fever: rare in a cold, common in influenza; Headache: rare in a cold, intense with influenza; General aches and pains: rare in cold, common in influenza; Extreme exhaustion: never with cold, common with influenza (usually starts early); Stuffy / Runny nose / Sore Throat / Sneezing: common with a cold, rare with influenza; Cough: found in both, usually starts early with influenza. There are rarely any serious complications with a cold beyond sinus congestion, influenza infections can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia (can be fatal if very severe). Treatment options vary between illness’; cold symptoms are usually managed with rest and over the counter products (if necessary); influenza is managed by rest, fluids, over the counter products and prescription medications such as oseltamivir or zanamivir (if appropriate), occasionally hospitalization is necessary. There is no prevention method for the common cold; for influenza, your best protection is the flu shot. Come see me at the pharmacy for more prevention tips and treatment options for both diseases.

In the fall, your lawn is getting ready to become dormant for the rest of the year and doesn’t grow as fast. Be sure to thoroughly rake your lawn. Over time, the leaves will start to decompose, drawing moisture out of your soil and providing a welcome home to insects that may be damaging to your lawn. The soil in your lawn becomes compacted, reducing the air pockets that allow nutrients and water to reach the roots of your grass. To combat this, make sure your lawn is aerated annually.

Bob Matheson Manager

As your lawn ages it becomes tired and grass reproduction rates slow down. Nobody likes the look of unhealthy areas in their lawn, but more than not looking good, these areas make it easier for weeds to take over. Spread grass seed over your entire lawn at the recommended rate. This will encourage new grass to pop up and ﬁll in those unhealthy spots and contribute to your beautiful outside next Spring. When it comes to fertilizer and lime you should use a special fall fertilizer that will help your grass get all of the nutrients it needs to stay healthy in the fall, and come back vigorously in the spring. Fertilize early in the fall season to keep it beautiful and healthy throughout the autumn months. Wait 2 weeks or so after fertilizing to apply the lime. This will allow the soil all winter to absorb its PH balancing goodness. With these few simple tips you can have a great looking lawn all year long. If you’re looking for PH soil test kits or advice on gutter repair, we are here for you! Help is Close to Home.

QUESTION

HOW DO YOU PROPERLY SCREEN A PROSPECTIVE TENANT?

How do hearing aids work? Are there operations or medications I can take to treat my hearing loss rather than get hearing aids? ANSWER At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An ampliﬁer increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver (speaker) converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable ampliﬁcation. Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

• The severity of your symptoms and for how long they last; • The effort you make to recover by following up with your doctor and taking their advice (e.g. by diligently attending physio/chiro/massage, or whatever else they suggest); and • Whether you lose any income or incur significant expenses as a result of the accident. This is only a short list and there are countless other factors that can come into play.

There are alterative forms of treatment for hearing loss (instead of hearing aids), although only 5% of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically. It all depends on the type of hearing loss you have experienced. There are three types: 1. Sensorineural: The most common type, it occurs when the inner ear nerves (and hair cells) are damaged and do not properly transmit auditory signals to the brain. Can be treated with hearing aids. 2. Conductive: Is typically the result of obstructions in the ear. Can usually be treated medically or surgically. 3. Mixed: A combination of sensorineural and conductive.

ANSWER: The first step is an exhaustive interview process to determine “the story”. We always ask prospective tenants to complete our application form. This gives us permission to search their credit report and background checks. We also call their employers, previous landlords, and other references. Along the way we look for any inconsistencies or other red flags. Of course many scenarios arise, but at the end of the day we take no chances. Call Your Rental Champions Today!

Vessel sinks can elevate the ambiance in spa bathrooms. • Plush towels and

robes: In addition to fixtures and other functional components of the bath, linens are key.

Fall is gardening season. That statement might not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens, however, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will overwinter successfully. A number of things make fall a prime gardening season, including the fact cooler days enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning and where to address planting for next year. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: • Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials

are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over. • Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. • Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labour-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway. • Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants such as onions, garlic, beans and sweet peas. • Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. • Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so

they’ll burst with colour next year. • Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. • Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. • Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in fall helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. • Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. • Prune hedges. Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year. • Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing tools properly so they are ready for spring.

homes. For the bulk shopper, a pantry with plenty of room for large items will be needed. Lighting can be beneficial in all pantries. Lights can improve visibility when trying to locate items. Others prefer an outlet for charging handheld vacuums or other small appliances. Counter space in the pantry enables homeowners to unload groceries directly onto pantry shelves. For pantries located outside of the kitchen, built-in freezers can maximize storage possibilities.

Many homeowners wish they had more storage space, and kitchens are one area where people seemingly can always use more. Despite a desire for more kitchen space, until recently, kitchen pantries fell out of favour but a recent trend in kitchen renovations is creating custom-designed pantries. Locate the appropriate space Ideally, pantries should be in or adjacent to the kitchen. But not every home layout allows for this setup. Some homeowners need to move storage pantries into the garage, the basement or a mud/ laundry room. Various factors should be considered before placing a pantry outside a kitchen. What is the climate? Will food spoil? Is there a possibility that vermin or insects can infiltrate the room? Choose the type of pantry Accessibility is essential

Fallen leaves don’t have to end up at the curb this fall

By the time fall hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves. It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many kilograms of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial. Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away. In fact, there are several different uses of leaves that can be beneficial: 1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter. 2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compostlike material called leaf

mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneficial organisms that are vital in healthy soil. 3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them. 4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow. 5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight.

Community

Significant community presence

A gathering was held this past Sunday afternoon to recognize, celebrate and express gratitude for the significant community presence in the person of Doug Gaetz. Doug has been the face of Delta Funeral Home for many years and has come to his time of retirement. We’ll wait to see what that means for Doug as the next months unfold. Many families have personally received Doug’s attentive care, his professional guidance and compassionate presence in the tender time around the death of beloved family members and friends. While this was a main focus of the service he offered, Doug’s presence

tions and faith community ministerial are just a few of the ways Doug sought to engage the fullness of community. Just to be clear that this is not an obituary, rather it is a tribute of gratitude for Doug’s ongoing, continuing and vital community presence. So if you have the opportunity to say thanks to Doug for the offering of his time, talents and abilities, feel free to do so. Meeting, working with and getting to know Doug over the past 10 years that I have been in the community has been a blessing and I hope and trust these next years will continue with his significant community presence.

Steve Robinson is sticking much closer to home this hockey season. The Tsawwassen resident is not only GM and head coach of the Delta Ice Hawks but also in charge of South Delta Minor Hockey’s Midget A1 Storm. It’s the first time in about a decade he is doing all of his work behind the bench on this side of the Fraser River. Robinson had enjoyed tremendous success with the Seafair Minor Hockey Association — culminating with guiding the Bantam A1 Islanders to the provincial and Western Canadian championships last season. It was the first time it had happened in Seafair’s long history. He also began the 2017-18 campaign as coach of the Richmond Sockeyes until early December when the club felt he had too big of a coaching load and parted ways. Less than two months later, he stepped in for the departed Darren Naylor and led the Ice Hawks to the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship — paving the way for full-time status with the team. That put the wheels in motion for also stepping up for SDMHA. Minor hockey was undergoing a major transition in Richmond with the Seafair and Richmond Minor associations agreeing to merge. Then throw in the fact Robinson was very familiar with the Midget A1 Storm as his youngest son Kyle was a member of the team. “Between (the Ice Hawks) and the merger it just seemed like the right time to leave there,” said Robinson, a father of four. “I knew my son had a couple of tough seasons and it just felt like the right time to do this. “When I first sent my (coaching) application in, the president of South Delta called to ask if I was joking. They thought I might have been messing around. “It’s been good. It’s great to be in the same barn working with these guys, trying to bring them along and also seeing the mentor-

After years of success coaching with Seafair, Tsawwassen’s Steve Robinson is staying on this side of the Fraser for the hockey season, guiding the Ice Hawks and the South Delta Midget A1 Storm. ship the Hawks’ guys can provide too.” Robinson got a taste of this age group a few years ago when he agreed to temporarily step in at Pee Wee level when no other coach was available. He has also watched them play from the stands last season. Now, his challenge is changing the outlook and culture of this young team that will begin tiering play in Flight Three of Pacific Coast Amateur. “Having been a hockey dad with this group, the biggest thing I have found is they are almost resolved to sucking. They expect to lose and we have to change that mentality. “We are no juggernaut but I definitely feel something can be (accomplished) with this group. So much of it is between the ears with them. There are 17 guys in

the other locker room the same age as them putting on skates the same way too. We have to change that ideology a bit.” One change Robinson has managed to accomplish already is moving the Storm home game slot from Fridays at 9:30 p.m. to Mondays at 7:30 p.m. With a team of 15-to-17-year-olds, it was a popular decision to say the least. Icing… Robinson watched his Ice Hawks drop their second straight game Tuesday night in Ladner, this time a 4-3 overtime loss to the Ridge Meadows Flames. That result comes on the heels of a 5-4 defeat in North Vancouver on Saturday and Delta now sits at 2-1-1-1 heading into Abbotsford on Friday night. The Hawks were without four regulars from last year’s championship team — Daniel Rubin,

Nathan Pelletier, Nick Marsh and goaltender Jordy Engelson — but Robinson sees too many selfinflicted wounds. “There is some good stuff going on but obviously lots of things where we are getting in our own way and turning over the puck. When you look at that game there was more than enough chances to score. We just have clean a little bit of our business and it’s not like we are far away. “In the big picture you have to look at it that it’s part of what we need to go through to play honest. You just can’t show up and, based on the talent on your roster, that teams are going to just roll over for us. They want to knock us off and we’re going to get a team’s best punch. “Right now our attention to detail on the little stuff isn’t as good as it needs to be.”

Delta rowers turned in impressive performances for Canada at the 2018 World Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The regatta concluded on Sunday with Delta Deas Rowing Club’s Tracy Van Asseldonk qualifying for the “A” final and placing sixth overall in the PR1 Women’s Single. It was an outstanding result given she made her debut on the international stage just months earlier in Italy. She finished third in her initial qualifying heat then earned a spot in the final with a fourth place showing in the repecharge. It was back in January when Van Asseldonk, 33, was carded as a PR1 developing para athlete with Rowing Canada Aviron. She has been rowing with DDRC since 2014 — working with coach Julie Stevens, who pioneered the Para-rowing program in Delta. Meanwhile, it was a near podium finish for Ladner’s Aaron Lattimer

Timbermenproved to be Pioneers’nemesis

Loss to West Coast Senior Lacrosse League rival halts Ladner’s final four bid at President’s Cup MARK BOOTH

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

They were much closer to a potential podium finish than their sub .500 record indicated. That’s why Ross Frehlick needed a couple of weeks before talking about his team’s fortunes at the President’s Cup. The Ladner Pioneers GM and head coach watched his team limp home with a 4-5-0 record. The seventh place finish was actually two spots worse than what was accomplished a year earlier but the final position was misleading to say the least. The Pioneers had destiny in their own hands when they took their 3-1-0 record into a pivotal round-robin tilt with the host Nanaimo Timbermen. A win would not only lockdown a spot in the semi-finals but also go a long way to eliminating their West Coast Lacrosse League rival which entered the pivotal tilt with a 2-2-0 record. A 2-1 lead evaporated during a two-minute span in the second period and Ladner never recovered in a gut-wrenching 8-6 defeat. Another loss followed 14

hours later to Ontario champion Oakville and the Pioneers’ medal hopes were suddenly over. They closed out roundrobin play with a 10-9 defeat to eventual three-time champion then split a pair of meaningless placement games. The Timbermen not only went on to make the playoffs but lost 10-8 to St. Albert in a memorable championship game. An otherwise impressive 2018 campaign will be remembered for Ladner’s inability to beat Nanaimo, including a deciding game 14-13 overtime loss in the league finals two weeks earlier. That’s what leaves a bad taste in Frehlick’s mouth. A shorthanded line-up managed 13 goals against the Timbermen but only six were produced in the rematch despite being at full strength with extra additions. “In the end, we just didn’t get enough from our big guns,” he said. “To only score six in such a crucial game was very disappointing. We lost by a combined three goals to the two teams in the gold medal game.” Frehlick added he sees no reason why Ladner can’t make it

Ladner Pioneers has some terrific battles this season with the Nanaimo Timbermen but came out on the short end of most of them. three straight trips to nationals in 2019. He has a young nucleus of players, including goaltender Zach Wickett — a local product who once and for all is fully capable of replacing the legendary Rob Cook. The Timbermen are expected

to take a step back without the services of NLL playoff MVP Jeff Shattler. A young team in Victoria may very well be Ladner’s great threat moving forward. Boxla Bits… Former Delta Islanders

standout Tom Johnson led the Pioneers in tournament scoring with 24 points, including 12 goals. The 32-year-old North Delta native was a late season addition the club hopes to have fulltime next year.

McDonald leads Sun Devils to first victory MARK BOOTH

The South Delta Sun Devils showcased their

explosiveness on offence to crack the win column for the first time in the B.C. High School Football season.

Grade 11 quarterback Ben McDonald threw for 364-yards and three touchdowns to lead South Delta to a 34-18 win over the

Carson Graham Eagles on Friday in North Vancouver. The result evened the Sun Devils’ Western Conference record at 1-1-0

and took some of the sting out of a 40-14 seasonopening loss to Mt. Doug a week earlier. McDonald connected

Ben McDonald threw for 364 yards in South Delta’s 34-14 win over Carson Graham. on 30 of 50 passes that resulted in big afternoons for Grade 11 receivers Evan Paterson (nine catches, 166 yards) and Ethan Troniak (eight catches, 166 yards). Grade 12 running back Andrew Kraft was a duo threat, rushing for 54 yards and a couple of majors, while also making six receptions for another 61 yards. “We were better but there still is a lot of work to do. This is still like exhibition season for us,” said Sun Devils head coach Ray Moon whose team had to jump right into its conference schedule. “Our offensive line still needs some work. That was all Ben and his ability to make plays.” South Delta was coming off a tough loss in the provincial capital that saw the Rams score 22 unanswered points to break a tight game wide open. “This is a very young team with just six Grade 12s back from last year and it showed,” continued Moon. “We made some mistakes and also got away from our playbook to try and make things happens. That won’t happen at this level.” South Delta now enjoys a bye week before defending B.C. AAA champion New West Hyacks comes to Tsawwassen on Saturday, Sept. 29 (1:30 p.m.) in the home opener. “I like it because it gives us a chance to have a mini-training camp,” added Moon of the early bye. “We know what we need to work on and have two full weeks to prepare for New West.”

Robertsen back home with UBC Thunderbirds

Jayde Robertsen has brought her collegiate career closer to home for the upcoming women’s volleyball season. After an impressive freshman campaign at Eastern Washington University, the former South Delta Sun Devils standout is now a member of the UBC Thunderbirds. The 6-foot-3 Robertsen started 22 of the 23 matches in which she appeared at Eastern Washington. She led the team in blocks per set with 0.66, and tied for the most on the roster in total blocks with 55. Robertsen was also a shining star in the classroom at EWU, meriting a place on the Fall Big Sky Conference All-Academic Team. “UBC has always been a school I aspired to attend and Doug Reimer has always been a coach that I have aspired to play for,” said Robertsen. “It is an honour to be able to play under such a talented and sought-after coach I’ve always looked up to. Up until this past year, I have always been on the opposing side of the net from many of the girls on the team and I am very excited to finally compete alongside them and many other very talented athletes.” She has four years of U SPORTS eligibility remaining, beginning with the upcoming 2018-19 campaign. “I feel we were very fortunate that Jayde became available to transfer to our program,” said Reimer. “With the loss of

Q: Does Staging Work? A: There is never a second chance to make a first impression. Most potential buyers will make a decision on whether they like a home within a minute or less. You want to ensure you are presenting your home in the best possible light. You only have one shot at it - make it an amazing one!

A professionally staged home will bring out the best by highlighting the space, functionality and features of your home. Regardless of budget or location, staging will transform a space that attracts potential buyers and help them envision themselves living there. It will get you results and a competitive edge. With such a significant financial transaction, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to settle for a lower selling price or sit on the market longer than you have to. Staging will make your home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers. The result - staged homes have shown to propel properties to sell faster and to increase a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selling price.

w w w .T h e C h a n c ey s .c o m

Take the stress and hard work out of preparing your home to sell - hire the Chancey Real Estate Group whose full service includes a professional staging consultation.

GREVILLE, Richard Craig November 17, 1958 - July 11, 2018 .

Predeceased by her loving husband Jim Coulter and sister Eva Hogg (McNolty), brothers; Cliff, Elmer and Alec McNolty. Micki is survived by son Jim Coulter, daughter Gwen (Larry) Wick, grandsons; Mike (Lana) Wick, Chris (Jen) Wick; great grandchildren; Devin, Macey, Rowan, Lauren, Kendall, Brayden and the Coulter side of the family; Hugh (Ann) Coulter, Gary (Mona) Coulter and many nieces and nephews. Jim and Micki, post WWll moved west in 1947 to settle in Tsawwassen, always thankful for “Beautiful B.C.” She was an avid gardener, enjoyed volunteering with Richmond General Hospital for 15 years, (pre Delta Hospital), was an active member of St. David’s Anglican Church in Tsawwassen. As a sports fan, she spent happy hours cheering her grandsons in hockey and ball and major league teams. When Jim retired, rolling down the highways and byways in their R.V. was what she loved most of all. Our deepest gratitude to the staff and caregivers of Cascade at Delta View Centre in Delta for the best of care and loving kindness. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Richard Greville at his home in Delta. Richard was born in London, England and moved to Tsawwassen in 1976. Richard is survived by his wife, Tannis Boyko, his daughters Emma Claire and Charlotte, parents Shelagh and John, brothers Tony (Angela) and Michael (Ann), and extended family in England. Richard will be remembered for his friendly smile, his love of golf, cars, his dogs, the NFL, Oldies music and Elvis Presley. Richard was the proud owner of RCG Transport and covered many memorable miles in his trusty Peterbilt. He always enjoyed travelling to Hawaii and Las Vegas. Richard was a gentle man who was always there for anyone needing help or to provide a friendly ear to those seeking someone to talk to. He loved Caesar salad, steak and red wine. He will be missed by his many friends at the Rose & Crown Pub. A Celebration of Richard’s life will be held Saturday, September 29 from 1 - 3pm at Metro’s Lounge in Tsawwassen. Casual dress please, Hawaiian or golf is preferred. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BC Children’s Hospital.

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Isobel Thorpe in Surrey Memorial Hospital. To her family she was a wonderful wife and mother. To her many friends and acquaintances she was a delight to converse with as she had a quick, engaging smile and a genuine interest in their lives and activities. We’ll miss her warmth, kindness and generosity. Isobel was predeceased by her husband Tex Thorpe (May 2012). Isobel is survived by her daughter Diane (Jim) and son Doug as well as close cousins and extended family. Born in Vancouver, Isobel was a long−time resident of Richmond and Ladner. The family wish to thank Dr. Ruth Turnbull and staff at Delta Hospital and at Surrey Memorial Hospital. A Celebration of Isobel’s life will be held Sunday, October 14, 1−3pm at the Harris Barn (beside the historic Kirkland House) in Hawthorne Grove Park, 4140 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC.
