Short-term rentals on rise Concerns raised about impacts on rental supply and lodging operators
including California, where many communities have started to ban them. Clair Oates, operator of Clair’s Bed & Breakfast in Ladner Village, submitted a letter to Mayor George Harvie and council urging action, saying her bookings have sharply declined due to Airbnb and VRBO rentals that aren’t even following their own regulations. Noting she abides by all civic rules and pays for a business licence and insurance, Oates said issues which are frustrating residents include noise and parking. She noted a quick count found 60 short-term rentals in the Delta area. Harvie told the Optimist it wasn’t an issue people raised with him during the recent election campaign, but he’ll certainly read the correspondence and wants to hear the concerns. He also said he looks forward to the staff report. Coun. Lois Jackson said something needs to be done now so that even more property owners don’t decide to cash in on the short-term rental business, which she said are essentially hotels in residential zones. “I don’t think it’s right. Of course, all those who use the Airbnbs think it’s fabulous because it’s cheaper than a hotel.”
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
Short-term rentals like Airbnbs are becoming a concern in Delta. It’s been a hot button issue in Vancouver where long-term renters are getting squeezed, prompting that city to take action, but now some in Delta are calling for similar measures. Ladner homeowner Martha Cheney said a house on her street was sold after spending some time on the market. After appearing to be renovated, a steady stream of tenants began to come and go from the home, which is when she learned it was an Airbnb. Cheney, who wrote to the new Delta council about her concerns, said one problem is the house is not available for locals to rent long-term, while another is the stream of transient people in the neighbourhood. “There’s not much rental housing here and the amount of people doing this is clearly increasing,” she said. The Optimist looked up on Airbnb what would be available in the city for the first two weeks of December. Seventeen locations came up in Tsawwassen, ranging from $65 per night for a “master

North Delta had 14 listings for that period. The Optimist reached out to one host called “Olga” who had multiple listings to ask about the short-term rental business, but she did not want to talk to the media. Noting short-term rentals could also have an impact on local hotels,
civic bylaws manager Hugh Davies said homeowners can have up to two boarders without requiring a licence, while anyone wanting to rent out a suite has to get a city business licence and secondary suite occupancy permit. However, there currently isn’t a regulation in the zoning bylaw prohibiting those units from being rented short-term. “It does take away from the housing market when somebody does want to rent for the short-term, a three-day or two-day or one-day, because those are generally residents who are not living here.
They’re usually transient or coming to visit. We are going to look at it into the new year with the new council. We’ll deal with it with business licensing and zoning,” he said. “It hasn’t really hit here yet that bad. They go on and off the market, so they’re not all on at the same time. At any given moment you may have twice as many the next day as you do today. We generally deal with them on a complaint basis or if we find a suite that’s not licensed.” Davies said short-term rentals have become a big concern elsewhere,

Mayor hires unusccessful council candidate
George Harvie tabs Param Grewal for retooled position that comes with $125,000 annual salary 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
George Harvie is defending the hiring of a former election running mate to a position in the mayor’s office. Social media has been abuzz with negative comments about Delta’s new mayor appointing Param Grewal to the newly retitled position of director: public engagement and intergovernmental affairs. The hiring has been called a “political pay-off” for Grewal who narrowly missed out on a Delta council seat in last month’s civic election. Harvie told the Optimist that’s not so, saying it’s always been within the mayor’s purview to hire

their own staff and the retirement of former mayor’s administrative assistant Dona Packer provided an opportunity to expand the role. “The mayor needs that and it’s not just the mayor of Delta, they generally hire their own staff. Secondly, Dona retired, so I had that position and wanted to get more utility from that position and wanted to hire somebody with the experience Param has. I was very fortunate he decided to take that job,” explained Harvie. “That job is autonomous and is a four-year contract. I had the HR (human resources) staff draw up the contract to make sure it was done properly and within the city’s guidelines, but he does not direct staff and he reports directly to me.” According to the human resources department, Grewal’s annual salary will be $125,000, while Packer made $114,000. The increase correlates with Grewal’s added responsibilities and title as director. A candidate on Harvie’s Achieving for Delta slate, Grewal finished seventh, 600 votes back of running mate Dylan Kruger who claimed the final seat. Grewal told the Optimist his experience in outreach and advocacy will be an asset in the job that includes working with non-profits, seniors groups and the public to help address issues. “On the campaign trail we heard so much about what needed to be done and how some people and groups require special assistance. It is essentially to ensure that the public is always being engaged
for the betterment of Delta residents. That is one key component of my responsibilities,” Grewal said. Grewal said he has worked for 15 years on behalf of non-profit organizations. His experience also includes working as a constituency assistant for a number of ministers, including as an executive assistant for Jinny Sims. “The intergovernmental affairs position dovetails with my experience over the last 20 years. We need to work with the south of Fraser municipalities. There are issues we need to work in conjunction with them, whether it’s the bridge or Highway 99 corridor,” said Grewal. “There’s all kinds of issues and also similarly with the provincial government, whether it’s the bridge issue or affordable housing or mental health and addictions issues.” Coun. Lois Jackson, also a member of Achieving for Delta, described Grewal’s appointment as a positive move, saying, “In North Delta the demographics are very different than South Delta. We do need to have a conduit between ourselves and the IndoCanadian community. There’s a lot that goes on that, I think, we can miss. There’s a lot of barriers, in particular, with the senior people.” Asked for his take on the hiring, veteran Coun. Bruce McDonald, a member of the rival Independents Working For You ticket, said he hasn’t been informed about it. “I haven’t got a clue. I haven’t had any communication from the (city) hall what it’s all about,” McDonald said.

Council puts an end to golden handshake All seven members of previous council to receive end of service benefit they approved last year 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
There will be no more golden handshakes — at least for now. The new Delta council on Monday voted to get rid of the end of service benefit the previous council approved, although all members of the previous council will still get their cash. Known as the golden handshake, the end of service benefit was unanimously approved by the previous council early last year. The one-time payout to council members at the end of their service was based on length of time in office and was capped at 12 years. It turned out to be a controversial move that was much talked about during the recent civic election campaign. During Jeannie the Kanakos campaign Mayor George Harvie promised to eliminate it. Four members of the previous council have already collected their money: Ian Paton ($37,235), Heather King ($19,820), Sylvia Bishop ($33,958) and Robert Campbell ($54,991). Paton resigned his seat earlier this year to focus on his MLA duties, King didn’t seek re-election, while Bishop and Campbell were defeated in the civic election. That still left the question of the three returning council members. Council approved a staff recommendation Monday to give them lump sum payments once the bylaw was approved, which means Jeannie Kanakos ($34,199), Bruce McDonald ($48,978) and former mayor Lois Jackson ($124,153) don’t have to wait to leave council to get their money. In total, the policy cost more than $350,000. During Monday’s discussion, Kanakos expressed opposition to any more payouts, which would have included herself, saying, “This bylaw is a have your cake and eat it too bylaw.” She noted that after thinking it through she realized council had not handled the issue properly.

This Ladner hall has seen it all
A fixture in the community, Fishermen’s Hall is filled with 75 years’ worth of memories SANDOR GYARMATI
s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
It’s a small, quaint heritage building nestled in Port Guichon, but it’s much more than that for those who have been using it for generations. The Ladner Fishermen’s Hall is considered the heart of the community for members of the local fishing contingent, as well as ordinary residents, who will come together this Saturday to celebrate its 75th anniversary. “A lot of memories, for sure. So many things went on in there — dinners, weddings, celebrations. I’d say it’s the hub of the community, the heart, for a lot of us,” said John Stevens, a member of the Ladner Fishermen’s Co-operative Association, which owns and lovingly maintains the community hall on Savoy Street. The age of the original portion of the building isn’t clear but it’s likely over a century old. It had been used as a station for the Victoria Terminal Railway and Ferry Company until it was moved in 1929 from the wharf to its present location in the west part of Ladner. It was used as a private residence and rented out until 1943 when it was put up for sale. The association explains that was the year a group of fishermen and their wives got together and had the first meeting for what would become Ladner Fishermen’s Hall. At the time, the fishermen of Ladner, Port Guichon and Canoe Pass and their families were keenly aware of the need to have their own community hall because the only option was the Ladner Parish Hall, which was located near the present Ladner Community Centre. Frank Radoslovich bought the property on behalf of the group, which sold shares in order to raise the funds needed to pay him back. The group was registered in Victoria as a co-operative association and the building, which was eventually expanded, converted into a hall. In later years, two adjacent lots were purchased for a parking lot. The association notes that in order to maintain the hall, numerous fundraising events were held, such as spaghetti and seafood dinners where

Celebrations on Saturday
The social committee for Ladner Fishermen’s Hall is organizing a 75th anniversary celebration this Saturday. Festivities will commence with a social from 1 to 4 p.m. that will include a mix of artists performing live music and reflections of the hall’s 75 years in the community. There will be time for families and friends to connect, listen to speeches, view historic photo displays and enjoy food and beverages. Evening festivities include a dance with live music featuring The Karmichaels starting at 7 p.m. SUBMITTED PHOTOS
Ladner Fishermen’s Hall has played host to all manner of events over its 75 years, including boxing matches, spaghetti dinners and wedding receptions. the people would line up for a meal. They also held dances and New Year’s Eve parties. The hall has also been rented out for weddings and other social events as well as playing host to an assortment of activities like a boxing club, cribbage league, Girl Guides, Boy Scouts, dance lessons, martial arts, jazzercise and yoga classes. There have even been a few funerals held there. “My first memories were when I was five or six
when we had Christmas concerts there,” said Stevens, a former association president. “Port Guichon was quite compact with a lot of fishing families but a lot have moved and spread out over the years, but there’s still fishing families or their descendants living here. This is also a community centre for everybody. It’s a community hall, even though the community has changed. A lot of the new people use it and groups rent it.
It’s really a fixture and it’s doing quite well now.” He noted many longtime residents, including members of his family, would get married or have their receptions at the hall and later on have their silver or golden anniversaries there as well. Stevens also recalls how Port Guichon was a very political community for a time and the facility would be the centre of some charged meetings. Several of the hall founders also started the
Ladner Fishermen’s Credit Union, which decades later would morph into what’s known today as Envision. An interesting tidbit when it comes to the rich history of the building is that crooner Michael Buble’s grandparents were among those involved with setting it up in the early years. Members of the association, including Stevens, are also part of another group called the Delta Fishing Heritage Society that is
promoting a number of ideas to not only preserve the city’s fishing past but also use it as a way to promote tourism. One idea the group is hoping to find partners, such as the city, for is a community mural project. Stevens believes it could really put Delta on the map as a destination similar to what happens in Chemainus on Vancouver Island. The group also hopes to eventually see an interpretative centre built that could add a great deal to a revived Ladner waterfront area, he said. For more information, visit http://lfca.ca.

Council OKs permit in effort to stop stink Civic politicians contend new enclosed buildings are best way to address composting odours SANDOR GYARMATI
s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
It’s time to stop the stink — period. That strong message was conveyed by most of Delta council, as well as civic staff, during a discussion Monday on a recommendation to expedite the enclosure of a contentious East Ladner composting facility. In a 5-2 vote, council issued a building permit for proposed new Green For Life Environmental composting buildings on 72nd Street. Metro Vancouver issued the company an air quality permit in August that stipulates the composting operation must be fully enclosed by March 1, 2020. “You know how many letters I got (as mayor) in the past year about the odour? They want the odour gone, end of story. The odour is terrible and they want it gone. Whatever we can do to eliminate the odour, I’m prepared to do that. I know that the only way we’re going to eliminate the odour is cover up the
mess. If there’s another way of eliminating the odour, I’d like to hear it,” said Coun. Lois Jackson. Coun. Dylan Kruger agreed, saying, “We need some resolution on this file. We need to stop the stink, which is why, as a life-long East Ladner resident, I’m voting in favour of this.” Sean McGill, director of corporate planning, said “we’re kidding ourselves” by hoping the composting facility will move away, noting the Agricultural Land Commission has already ruled the operation is a permitted use in the Agricultural Land Reserve and that the company can correct its issues of non-compliance to make sure it doesn’t have to go anywhere. McGill was also adamant the city would have a difficult time withholding a building permit. Some residents on social media, as well as at a recent public information meeting and appearances at council, have voiced vehement opposition to the city issuing a building permit, saying,
GFL is planning to build a 137,000-square-foot composting building. at the very least, a public hearing should be held. McGill noted a public hearing is only for land use changes and not for development permits, adding that expecting the composting operation to somehow move will only drag out the issue. His report states staff looked at the option of relocating the GFL facility as well as rezoning the site. Even if the facility was voluntarily moved by GFL to another location, the current site could still
be used for composting of agricultural waste without requiring a new Metro Vancouver licence, he explained. GFL has submitted a building permit application for a 137,326-squarefoot composting building operated under negative air pressure connected to a 30,000-square-foot biofilter. In addition, a 10,297-square-foot connector building would be added to the existing composting building as part of the modifications to fully

enclose and connect the current buildings to the new biofilter. McGill stressed the issuance of a building permit is not linked to any operational approvals, which means that if the company were to pursue additional composting capacity, an application to amend its Metro Vancouver composting licence would be required, and Delta retains the right to approve or deny any future amendments. Councillors Jeannie
Kanakos and Bruce McDonald voted in opposition to issuing the building permit, both saying it’s an industrial operation that has no place on farmland. Recalling earlier problems with the site, McDonald lamented, “Council wasn’t on our game enough to realize what was happening.” Kanakos warned it would only be a matter of time before the company expected to process much more tonnage, something she said is unacceptable with 1,500 homes nearby. McGill said he was impressed with the lack of odour of enclosed composting and bio-filtered facilities he toured in California. He also noted the appeal of the GFL air quality permit, meanwhile, may result in some modifications to the requirements set out in the permit but is not expected to result in the closure or relocation of the facility. The Environmental Appeal Board hearing will be held from June 3 to 18 and June 26 to 28, 2019.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY
hey chose the operator. They OK’d the location. They determined the scope of the facility. I guess that’s why it’s not terribly surprising to learn the B.C. Lottery Corporation gave final approval last week to a $70-million casino facility for the old Delta Town & Country Inn site. Any hope — and it surely had to be fleeting — opponents clung to that BCLC would somehow derail the project at the 11th hour have now been dashed, paving the way for construction of Gateway’s Cascades Casino Delta to begin early next year. The last hurdle to clear in the approval process was an objection filed by the City of Richmond, which contended that a casino being built in Delta would have policing and traffic impacts on the north side of the river. After reviewing the file, a mediator concluded that Richmond failed to demonstrate it would incur significant costs as a result of a casino in Delta, determining that our northern neighbours didn’t provide documentation to substantiate their claims, including the rather curious assertion that Richmond RCMP staffing costs would jump by almost $270,000 annually. The mediator’s ruling is also not much of a surprise given Richmond’s real beef is not with potential increases in crime or traffic, but rather the very real likelihood that a casino just south of the George Massey Tunnel will siphon customers from the River Rock Casino Resort, which has been a cash cow for the city. The River Rock has generated more than $200 million for the City of Richmond over the past two decades, a revenue stream politicians there don’t want to see jeopardized in any way. Well, they will soon have to face that reality as Gateway is hoping to open its casino in a little over 18 months, which has been BCLC’s plan all along. It was about two-and-a-half years ago that the lottery corporation asked local governments south of the Fraser, as well as in the North Shore, whether they would be interested in playing host to a casino because it had been determined that both markets were underserved by the gaming industry. BCLC made it abundantly clear that it wanted another full-blown casino south of the river, so its approval last week was about the safest bet you were going to find.
There’s no need to panic now that 60th birthday is at hand
M
y high school grad class is exceptionally close so it came as no surprise that someone would organize a reunion with a birthday theme since this year we all turn 60. As I looked around the room I saw a pretty healthy group. Sadly there were a few more widows since our last get together but overall we were doing fine. Reunions are like speed dating so conversations are quick and to the point. How was everyone feeling about turning 60? Mostly they were mystified. “How did this happen, where did the time go? I still feel 20,” said one incredulous grad. The general consensus was most of us were feeling anxious, and why wouldn’t we be as time is of the essence. While we like to tell ourselves 60 is the new 40, it’s really not. We are leaving middle age behind and moving towards the phase of life referred to as old age. All those plans and dreams you had suddenly seem less realistic because, well, you’re 60. Climb that mountain, learn to scuba dive, have an acting career, write a cookbook, solve world hunger? Naw, that’s probably not happening.
Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT
I have spent the good part of 2018 pondering this birthday milestone which arrives in two weeks. To be clear, I am grateful to be alive and kicking and able to blow out those 60 candles. I only have to think of my former husband who sadly died at 50. Wouldn’t he love the luxury of being able to commiserate over turning 60? His early death has taught me that life is fragile and that in an instant things can change forever. Now that I am 60 I wonder what the next chapter will bring. It’s unchartered territory for me in a society where ageism is rampant and youth is so revered. Will I become invisible, irrelevant, dismissed as old and out of touch? These are big questions
that inevitably everyone will have to address. I have some future plans for the years ahead and they all start with being authentic. I want to follow through on my word, to articulate my beliefs and opinions without malice, and to be more compassionate. Spend more time on me and not feel guilty about it. I want to be less judgemental, to listen more and talk less, to keep asking questions and stay curious. To spend my time wisely and to learn to say no. To choose what feels good and to not always do what’s expected. I’d like to share my life experiences so that I can help someone navigate the hard times. Whatever lies ahead, whether it be adventure or hardship, the ability to deal with uncertainty is a sign of maturity, so now that I’m mature bring on the next decade, I’m ready. On the big day I’ll be celebrating with my favourite people and hopefully get to disco dance with my husband because you can’t take the ’70s out of the 60-yearold.

Casino approval is the best decision council has made
Editor: The best decision that our city council has ever made was to approve the new casino/hotel development project. As an electrical consultant who also happens to live in Ladner, I see a new, well designed and constructed facility that the entire community will be able to actually use as a terrific thing. This versus maintaining a decrepit (although nostalgic) hotel/restaurant/tennis courts that very few local residents even previously used. There has been con-
cern that the casino will attract crime, which is a ridiculous notion at best as crime is already everywhere and stays underground anyways. I’m quite certain gangsters are not planning to suddenly invade Ladner anytime soon. The last time I visited the Starlight Casio in Queensborough, I did notice large numbers of a certain element… sweet little old ladies and their hubbies giggling and having fun playing their slot machines. Perhaps there is some type of seniors’ crime syndicate that I’m
not aware of? I most certainly didn’t notice any scary looking gangster types of any kind. So, ladies and gentlemen of Ladner, we will all soon be able to enjoy a spectacular new venue of entertainment. This most definitely is a good thing. Park the tractors and put away the garden tools for an evening, gentlemen, because you soon will have an actual place to take your fine gals out for an evening of fun. God only knows we could all use that on occasion. Robert I. Ferraby
Nothing troubling about MLA’s opinion
Editor: Re: Politicians should keep partisan opinions on PR to themselves, letter to the editor, Nov. 14 I just read Niko Condonopoulos’ letter trying to upbraid MLA Ian Paton for expressing his opinion on the PR referendum underway. To put it simply, Condonopoulos gets it wrong. Paton does not ”abuse” his office, at all, in advocating for the position he takes on this matter — whether or not
his position is “canned.” I expect that Paton would not advocate for a position on a matter that he does not feel is correct — again, “canned” or not. MLAs are elected to represent their ridings, certainly. They are not, however, elected to “parrot” certain opinions they hear in their ridings. I would hope that our elected MLAs are intelligent and capable enough to synthesize what they hear from their ridings and develop what they believe would
be appropriate responses to issues raised. Although I do not yet know what my personal vote will be in this referendum that is currently concluding (and I live in North Delta, versus South Delta), I find nothing at all troublesome about the matter of Paton “sharing” his carefully thought out perspective on the matter of the referendum, further to the many discussions he has had with his disparate constituents.

Perfect example
Editor: Remember B.C. 2001? The NDP got 27 per cent of the vote in that year’s provincial election. In a 79-seat legislature that could mean 21.5 seats under proportional representation. Under the first-past-the-post system, the result was a 77-2 seat distribution. For their 27 per cent of the popular vote, the NDP got 2.5 per cent of the seats in the legislature. Neither liberal or socialist, if I were a PR person I’d distribute thousands of bumper stickers that say, simply, “77-2: was that fair democracy?” Wm Baird Blackstone
killed when hit by a car. Too many times people are still distracted and still driving far too fast for our vulnerable streets, in particular near children and, in this case, near the elderly and Suki the cat. Please, people, think
about you’re driving. Slow down and pay attention because driving is a real responsibility. And if you happen to run over someone’s pet, please do the right thing and own up to it. Dane Tobias
Don’t start with democratic deficit
Editor: B.C. voters should be beware of the incomplete, undemocratic referendum by the NDP and Greens. Do you know what will happen after the referendum? According to the voters’ guide, if PR gets more than 50 per cent of votes, “... a legislative committee will determine how some aspects of the new
system will work.” This referendum is asking voters to vote on faith, not facts. This is no way to conduct democracy. If we want to improve the current voting system, it is not ethical to start with a democratic deficit. Reject this proposal by voting to retain, for now, the current system. Carol Vignale
Give gridlock a try by choosing PR
Editor: If you have not already made up your mind about our voting system and are torn between our less than perfect first-past-thepost and are thinking you would like to give gridlock, unnatural alliances with a touch of blackmail a try
then choose PR, but please remember we do get the chance every few years to throw them all out. Also, I would like remind you of that old piece of empirical wisdom: “A camel is a horse designed by a committee.” Robin Wright

Say hello to Chapo
Chapo is an adorable and sweet ten month old male shepherd mix who weighs around 70 lbs. He came to us as an owner surrender when a good Samaritan was visiting Guatemala and found this pup on the street. He brought him back to BC hoping he could keep him, but his work schedule doesn’t fit Chapo’s needs and he has asked us to find him the best home! Chapo is a bit shy and nervous at first with people, especially men, but once he warms up with some treats, he is ALL LOVE. Kids on the street in Guatemala were not nice to him, and it will take some time and patience for him to learn to trust them again. Because of this we will not be considering homes for him with children under 16 years of age. He is AMAZING with all dogs, big and small. He LOVES to play and is very submissive. Ideally his furever family would have another high energy dog to help keep him mentally and physically stimulated. A second confident dog will help his insecurity with new people and situations. His current foster says he seems totally fine with cats too! This guy would be a great hiking, biking, and camping adventure companion! If you are active and outdoorsey and looking for a partner, here he is! Chapo is crate trained, house broken, and has no separation anxiety. He is currently mastering leash manners. Chapo is up to date on all shots and vaccines and is microchipped. If you think you are a good match for Chapo and he for you, please email us pbandchi@gmail.com

A necropsy will be conducted to determine what caused the death of a humpback whale that washed up in the shallow water off Tsawwassen Beach last Friday morning. “This morning we received a call that a local resident had seen a humpback floating in the shallow waters,” said Paul Cottrell, marine mammal coordinator for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “Since that call we have been working with the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) to ensure they had the proper closure with a cultural ceremony, which was very touching and very important.” Andrea Jacobs, executive council member for TFN, said it was sad to see something like this, especially on their traditional territory. “We were really saddened to hear about the whale that had washed up on shore, so I called upon some of our cultural advisors and elders to do a prayer and a drum song to

As news was shared of the sighting, crowds of onlookers started to arrive throughout the morning. Shortly before 1 p.m.,
a coast guard hovercraft arrived to assist in removing the whale and taking it to the hovercraft base on Sea Island. “It’s very important to find out what happened to this animal, why it has died and if there is a human cause, what that is,” said Cottrell. “We will be looking at doing a necropsy as soon as we can.” Dr. Stephen Raverty, a veterinary pathologist with the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Animal Health Centre in Abbotsford, will
conduct the necropsy, said Cottrell. “I just brought over a killer whale calf that just died off the coast of Nootka Island, so I was bringing that over to Abbotsford,” said Cottrell. “Dr. Raverty will conduct that necropsy and hopefully later tonight he will examine the humpback.” Cottrell said it is difficult to determine the age of the humpback whale. “I’ll be able to tell better once we get to the examination,” he said. “The examination will take some time. There are different stages, a gross diagnostic report that will take about a week, then the final report which includes all of the pathology and analysis of the tissues. That takes considerably longer because we send samples all over the world, so we have to wait to get those back before we can do a final report. “But the length of time will really depend on what happened to the animal. It may be obvious, it might be not, so it will depend on what we find,” Cottrell said.

MLA says pot factories shouldn’t foul the air
MLA’s Report IAN PATON
As an MLA who represents a vibrant agricultural riding here in Delta, I realize the profound responsibility we all have to protect the very soil that has been placed here— to provide the fertile base for the many different kinds of crops which, at least seasonally, makes our province practically self-sufficient in fruits and vegetables. Tragically, however, we are witnessing the wholesale departure from the basis of our food lands model of agriculture to the expansion of cannabis into greenhouses and newly-
from them. While it’s still unclear whether these odours have any health impacts, we do know they disrupt people’s quality of life and sense of wellbeing. The federal minister of health is responsible for licensing these factories, and as a condition of that license, operators are required to provide air filtration to prevent the escape of odours. They must provide a description of the air filtration system they will be using, including type, specifications, number and location of air filters installed as well as a diagram or floor plan detailing the air filtration or ventilation system. If the federal regulations require these actions be taken, then we need to get to the bottom of why these odours are escaping and becoming a nuisance. I will continue to press our provincial minister of health to ensure federal enforcement of Section 85 on proper containment and filtration of cannabis odours from a growing facility.
constructed concrete bunkers, complete with security fences, barbed wire and giant fans blowing scented mist into the air. As controversial as it was at the time, largescale, high tech greenhouses became permitted use on Fraser Valley farmland because of their ability to produce vast amounts of high-quality vegetables in a climatecontrolled environment. Replacing food production on “Class 1” Delta ALR land with cannabis production is not in any way helping to “Feed BC,” nor is it helping to keep agricultural land costs down. Cannabis greenhouses are beginning to look like industrial factories on our farmland. Furthermore, many of these operations are not owned by local farmers. In addition to their frustration with the conversion of greenhouse space from food production to pot production, numerous residents and neighbours of these cannabis operations are disgusted with the odours emanating

DPD statistics show more tickets but fewer crashes 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
Collisions are continuing a downward trend, according to the latest statistics from Delta police. Discussed at this month’s Delta police board meeting and released fully to the public last week, the third quarter stats show 256 collisions from July through September, compared to 334 crashes during that same time last year. “Fewer collisions generally means fewer injuries, so we’re very thankful for that,” said Chief Neil Dubord. “Traffic and pedestrian safety issues are one of our community concerns, and we’ve made a concerted effort to work with the community to make our streets safer.” Dubord points to social media campaigns conducted by the traffic unit, including one where the public periodically gets a chance to send patrol cars out to their top traffic beef locations. Traffic enforcement continues to increase in 2018 with 3,477 violation
last year. • There were 96 person offences, which involve serious crimes such as assaults, in 2018 compared to 84 last year. “Looking at the data over the past three FILE PHOTO years, we’ve noted that really Delta police officers handed out only assaults almost 1,000 more tickets in the third quarter of this year compared have increased,” said Dubord. to 2017.

TransLink is playing “catch up” for Delta and the rest of the communities south of the Fraser River. That was the message from transportation authority CEO Kevin Desmond in a presentation to the Delta Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday. “What we’ve been doing with the mayors’ plan, so far, is we’ve been adding service to every community in the region, but disproportionately adding to that part of the region that has not seen as much service over the years. That’s south of the Fraser River, the Tri-Cities and east. We’re in catch up mode. We’ve got a lot more work to do,” said Desmond on the Metro Vancouverapproved 10-year vision for transportation system expansion. Desmond called the improvements “the most profound expansion of transit service” since the Canada Line almost a decade ago. He said B-Line services are being
Kevin Desmond added and the Scott Road corridor will have one by 2021. Desmond noted the rapid buses are a good precursor to even higher capacity, which could include rapid transit. TransLink has also completed a Southwest Area Transit Plan that specifically looks at Delta and Richmond. For Delta, the improvements will include better connections to the rest of the region, better connections to Ladner Village, implementation of double-decker buses for the #620 route and increased service to industrial areas. Among the other topics Desmond talked about was the George Massey Tunnel, which he noted is “clearly on Delta’s mind” but is a provincial asset.
TransLink provided data for the province’s review of the crossing but has no say as far as whether the crossing should be replaced with a bridge or another tunnel, he explained, adding the government has already made it clear it will consult with the Mayors’ Council before making any decisions. However, one area of mutual interest is that a new crossing be “very transit supported.” Desmond also noted the transportation authority has begun early work on a 30-year plan that will look at an array of projected priorities, although funding future projects always remains an uncertainty. He said there’s been “talk” of expanding rapid transit from the Canada Line to Delta as well as improvements that might be needed if Vancouver’s cruise ship terminal is relocated from Vancouver to Roberts Bank. Some of the questions from the audience included mobility pricing, which Desmond said won’t be introduced in the near future.

Ron Toigo will be heading into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. The hall of fame announced last week that Toigo has been recognized with the W.A.C. Bennett Award for the 2019 induction class. A long-time Tsawwassen resident, Toigo is the majority owner of the Vancouver Giants junior hockey team, which has its training facility at the Ladner Leisure Centre. He’s also a member of the Delta Sports Hall of Fame and B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame. “I wasn’t expecting this and I’m honoured to be going into that category. It’s really humbling,” he told the Optimist. “I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by good people and the city (of Delta) has supported a lot of the things we brought here over the years. It’s nice to be recognized for what a lot of people of helped to do and I’m the fortunate one to get credit for it.”

Family is given a lot of help giving back
Friends and relatives provide a boost to blood donor clinic at Ladner Community Centre 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 South Delta community rallied around a family donating blood at a Canadian Blood Services drive in Ladner last week. Carly and Ryan WalshFraser’s four-year-old son Smyth has now recovered from a serious medical emergency last summer, so for the past two years the family, with the support of relatives and friends, has brought attention to the important cause of donating blood. Karen Garcia, territory manager for Canadian Blood Services, said 145 donors attended the clinic at the Ladner Community Centre last Wednesday. “We had a target to collect 97 units of blood and we collected 123, which means we collected 127 per cent to target,” said Garcia. “Many have said that they saw the advanced story in the Optimist and even though they had an appointment they wanted to come early

were well educated in what we do and ensure everyone understands the importance of this gift.” In August 2017, Smyth was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed
with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), abnormal destruction of red blood cells caused by the E. coli bacteria. The condition can cause life-threatening kidney failure.
Smyth and his mom spent 15 days at BC Children’s Hospital and as part of his treatment he received three blood transfusions and a platelet transfusion.
Smyth celebrated his birthday in October and is happier and healthier than ever. “What it means to have the support of Ladner/ Tsawwassen and our community — it means everything,” said Carly. “It means the world to us. For them to come out and be a part of such an amazing event and be a part of Smyth’s recovery is amazing.” Ryan said for the first three or four days in hospital Smyth’s condition deteriorated, but the blood transfusions started his road to recovery. “That is when he started to turn around and was the beginning of him getting to good health,” recalled Ryan. “To have the support from last year and this year is amazing. You don’t realize how important it is until you are the family or person in need. It’s a real eye-opener and we are more than happy to give back such a small token of our appreciation.”

More than 100 guests turned out for the fifth annual Chef’s Charity Dinner that raised $47,163 for Dan’s Legacy. Funds raised at the Nov. 6 event at the Beach Grove Golf Club will go towards the charity’s counselling and life-skills programs for youth affected by traumabased mental health and addictions challenges. CBC Radio host Angela Sterrit was the evening’s MC and “Mr. Gala” Fred Lee returned to lead the live auction. Executive chef Froilan Alejo (Beach Grove Golf Club), chef Shay Kelly (The Caterer), chefs Bruce Nollert and TJ Conwi (Ono Vancouver) and pastry chef Vanessa Trotte (The Caterer) created the entire signature menu using only recovered food. During the event, Sterritt and Dan’s Legacy’s board secretary Sierra Van Straaten both talked about their own experiences with trauma-based mental health challenges. “I’d like to thank Angela

cillors Dan Copeland and Dylan Kruger, members of Dan’s Legacy’s board of directors, representatives of other mental health organizations in Delta and drummers from the Cwenengitel Aboriginal Society. Dan’s Legacy provides therapeutic counselling and life-skills intervention programs to youth battling trauma-based mental health and addictions issues. In the past four years, Dan’s Legacy has helped over 300 youth.

Christmas food hampers are being delivered by local service clubs on Saturday, Dec. 22. Items most needed include canned ham and chicken, canned hearty meals (stew), rice, pasta and sauce, hot chocolate and cookies. New, unwrapped toys

Families living with dementia learn to connect at session
When your family member is living with dementia, meaningful interaction can be challenging. A free workshop will make that challenge more manageable for the many South Delta families living with the impact of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Connecting in a Positive Way, presented by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C., will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 28. Participants will view the popular video based on author Jolene Brackey’s book, Creating Moments of Joy, and discuss its application to their own
caregiving journey. The workshop will also introduce techniques and approaches that can lead to meaningful, positive connections with people in the early and late stages of the disease. Connecting in a Positive Way runs from 10 a.m. to noon at the Delta Hospice Society in Ladner. Preregistration is required by calling 604-449-5000 or emailing info.southfraser@ alzheimerbc.org. More information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and resources for living with its impact, are available by visiting www.alzheimerbc. org.

It starts from something as simple as a pink, disposable razor, but to those who receive it, it can mean so much more. The ninth annual Women Helping Women South Delta began its collection earlier this month, efforts that will wrap up Dec. 1. The campaign is looking for self-care/beauty/ pampering items — anything that will help provide comfort to women that are going through a difficult time over the holidays. Some of the recipients are in South Delta — women who have had a difficult year for a variety of reasons — while others are at shelters, recovery homes or receive services from outreach programs. “Each year the need grows and this year alone, we have received requests for just over 800 women,” said organizer Pindi Mann. “The facilities have come to rely on us to help them

Mann said at Christmas the focus of donations is on children, as it should be, but behind those children are often parents, many of them single moms that are trying to keep it together for their families during a time of crisis. “This gift is for them — no strings attached, just
the knowledge that they are being thought of and that there is a whole community of friends cheering them on,” she said. Donations can be dropped off in Ladner at Lawlor Goldsmith, Muddy River Landing, Changes Hair Studio, 30 min Hit, Deas Island Dance, Royal Canadian Legion and Delta Village Chiropractic. In Tsawwassen, boxes are located at Locks ‘n Lashes and Yoga Union. Gift bags will be packaged on Dec. 3 at the Ladner Community Centre.

Hands usually go for what they know when in closet
Dr. Jonathan Brown, DMD and Dr. Will Gaede DDS Accepting New Patients Families Welcome
Some items never get to see the light of day
Living Matters
BARBARA GUNN
My bedroom closet is bulging. There are, by my best estimation, 24 shirts, 10 pairs of pants and six or seven dresses. I do not often wear the dresses, given that I’m not really a dressy kind of gal. I do not often wear the dress pants either, given that I’m rarely at an occasion where I’d need them. Of the 24 shirts? Well, this is how it goes. The husband, for whatever reason, was poking around my closet recently. I think he was missing a dress shirt and wondered
if it had migrated to my side my mistake. “Look at this!” he said, pulling out a silky, purple top. “It still has the tags on it!” “I know,” I said. “I’ll get to it eventually.” “And this!” he said. He’d found a pair of herringbone slacks, also with the tags. “They’re really nice!” he said. “Why don’t you wear them?” “I’m not sure when I’d wear them,” I said. “But I’ll get to them eventually.” In truth, eventually seldom arrives. In truth, when I visit my closet each morning, my hands tend to generally make their way to the same old things. It’s as if my hands have a mind of their own. They rather like the Levis. They’re pretty fond of the jean shirts. They like the hoodies and the sweatshirts and the flannel tops, which believe I’ve worn for 16 days of the last 30. My closet behaviour,
it might be noted, is akin to the way I act in the kitchen. We own, oh, 47 coffee mugs, but when I’m about to pour my brew in the morning, my hands — again, the hands that have a mind of their own — tend to make their way to one of two. They like the one from San Francisco and the one emblazoned with a bicycle. Go figure. I would not, however, ever consider tossing the other 45 coffee mugs, and not simply because we might one day have four dozen unexpected guests arrive on the doorstep. I would not think of tossing them any more than I would think of tossing the herringbone slacks or the silky, purple top. And so, the closet continues to bulge, as does the kitchen cabinet. I can’t really say if I’ll mix it up and choose something other than jeans. It isn’t up to me to decide. It’s the hands that make the call.

Standards and values in life change, often through gradual erosion, contamination or societal pressures. Sometimes small shifts result in major changes. But God never changes. He is the ultimate standard by which everything will be measured: ethics, morality or right and wrong. “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17, NIV) That can give us security in times of change.

The kilogram is being redefined as of last week. News like this would normally be relegated to Nerdsville, but it is a significant event. Since 1889, the world’s official kilogram is a platinumiridium cylinder, called Le Grand K, locked in a vault in Paris. This is the standard by which units of weight and mass throughout the world are measured. Replicas were distributed for the sake of efficiency, and are rechecked with the original every few decades. The problem is that both the original and the replicas change minutely through deterioration, dust and atmospheric pressure. Even though the difference would be less

Delta Youth Theatre to stage Willy Wonka Jr. over five days next week IAN JACQUES

Get set to be transported into the magical world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Delta Youth Theatre is just days away from opening night of its first show of the season — Willy Wonka Jr. — which runs Nov. 28 to Dec. 2 at Ladner’s Genesis Theatre. Based on Raold Dahl’s classic children’s story, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with songs from the 1971 film and a raft of new tunes, the musical tells the story of poor Charlie Bucket who wins a golden ticket to tour the famous candy factory of the reclusive Willy Wonka. The DYT show — with four casts — features more than 100 young performers from Delta, Richmond, White Rock and Langley. DYT artistic co-founders Tony Barton and Tracy Neff are proud of the growth the young company has made in the four years since its inception. “We started working with the four-cast model in response to the fact that we had so many talented students coming out to auditions,” said Neff. “Then it became this really innovative way to learn,

The Delta Youth Theatre’s production of Willy Wonka Jr. will have four casts featuring more than 100 young performers. not only for us as directors and choreographers, but for the students as well.” The five-day performance schedule gives every cast the experience of a professional level theatre production. “It’s probably one of the most unique things about our company. Most companies will have one cast with maybe an understudy or two, but because we do four casts these kids learn from each other,” he said. “It also eliminates the diva or divo aspect of someone having a lead role. They all know there are three others playing their role, so it humbles
them a bit and they get to see at a young age that it takes a great, professional group to put on a show. There is lot of talent and your job is to do the best job you can do to make the show a success.” Barton, who both directs and designs DYT productions, said the team researched several versions of the show before arriving at a version it felt best reflects the world of imagination that Dahl created. “We tend to do a lot of popular musicals and Disney productions, but I grew up with Willy Wonka and we quickly realized
that it is a true actors’ show,” said Barton. “We get to showcase many of our talented actors in this show.” Neff said Willy Wonka Jr. also allows the company to involve its many age ranges. “This was one of the shows where we can showcase our older cast and younger cast with a diversity of age ranges,” she said. “We give them everything they need from costumes, scripts, direction to make them successful and to put on the best, professional show possible.” Another highlight is that
actor Neal McDonough (Rogue, Arrow, Suits) has been invited to work with students as he plays The Candyman on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. He will also be hosting a talk back after the Saturday show. His daughters London and Catherine are also in the production. “When he first joined us last year with Annie, I asked myself back stage how is Neal on our stage. We are so blessed to have him,” said Barton. “And it’s just not him doing a performance. Neal is such a wonderful human being and he is such an example for these young actors.” Barton said as opening night draws closer, the excitement is starting to build. “As a director it’s like being a coach where you want to get your cast to peak and peak on opening night,” he said. “The actors are starting to see and reap the rewards of their hard work. They see the cast coming together and feel the scenes taking shape and it just grows and motivates into opening night.” Tickets, which are $25, are available at www.deltayouththeatre.com or by calling 604-417-7748.

B.C. broadcaster and best-selling author Mike McCardell pays a visit to Black Bond Books in Ladner this Saturday. The CTV news personality will be on hand for a book signing for Shoelaces Are Hard: And Other Thoughtful Scribbles at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24. Until Dec. 31, partial proceeds from each copy of Shoelaces Are Hard will be donated to the BC Women’s Hospital newborn intensive care unit to support the miraculous and lifesaving work it does every day. McCardell’s instinct for finding the perfect story at just the right time has led him to a lifetime of great scoops and gripping tales as an author and Vancouver news icon. Years of reporting human-interest stories have honed his ability to see the deeper meaning in the everyday, and to capture the universal and familiar in even the strangest events.

Mike McCardell will be at Black Bond Books in Ladner this Saturday. With this open-hearted approach, McCardell has become a master of weaving stories that are uplifting, compassionate and full of his signature brand of humour. In Shoelaces Are Hard, McCardell takes on such diverse subjects as fouryear-old tobogganists, incarcerated snowmen,
105-year-old tai chi masters and the meaning of life. Although his stories tackle hardships of all kinds, McCardell reminds us that, as with learning to tie our shoelaces, much can be accomplished with a little help and a lot of perseverance. Black Bond Books is in Trenant Park Square.

Presents of Mind offers gift of colour and light LAUREL JOHNSON
Optimist contributor
Colour and light captured by members of the South Delta Artists Guild are a sure way to lift the spirits. And with over 125 paintings gracing the walls of Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen, the current Presents of Mind show is an oasis in late fall. Artists Ailsa Brown, Lynn Barnat, Diane Akey, Kathy Swift, Trish Murphy and Sandy Taylor offer abstracts, which are usually painted in acrylic and swirling with colour. Landscapes by Geof Hacker and Gordon Richards come with surprises that will capture your imagination, while ceramic plates hung on the walls and shining portraits are not forgotten. New techniques are readily displayed and Bonnie Terry’s Downtown Train exemplifies her joy in modern art. Most think painting involves paper or canvas and brush, but think again. Several guild artists have used Yupo paper, which is made of plastic. It’s completely archival, meaning it’s made of acidfree materials that will last for years. This paper takes to lovely pourings with watercolor paint, but the actual painting is an act of will, and takes skill to pull it off. Marlene Strain and Doris Wright have offerings that are sure to please the viewer. Roxanne Tiernan has mastered collage using torn papers and weaving these into stunning landscapes. Some works are paint pourings. Note to self: check out
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Bonnie Terry’s Downtown Train is an example of modern art on display at Gallery 1710. Sharee Reynolds. Can watercolour paper be mounted without glass? Yes. A time-consuming technique, it is usually mounted on board, which is coated with a sealant to prevent any chemicals from leaching into the image. A watercolour painting starts with a detailed sketch, and the artist paints with care and dries the paper thoroughly. The board is coated with glue or acrylic medium and the image is laid on top. To prevent bubbling, weights are applied until the glue is set. An X-acto knife and a steady hand are needed to trim the image to fit the board. A spray varnish is applied. A frame is chosen, and we see the painting mounted and displayed. Look for Gillian Olsen’s work, with scenes from Haida Gwaii to see the technique in action.

Enya Jorge and others also fit into the show. Pastels are a forte of many artists, and the work of Catherine Shepard really shines. Shepard’s students are proud to fill the gallery’s walls with their adept renditions of birds, animals and any subject that makes them smile, and it will tickle the viewer, too. Oils are an old and timeless medium, and have a wonderful sheen that’s difficult to duplicate in other mediums.

According to program director Morgan Smith, being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing. “We processed more than 18,000 nominations this year and have selected nearly 700 of the most talented student performers from around the world,” said Smith. “Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these musicians never forget.” Finalists will come together in New York City for five days in February. They will have the opportunity to learn from world-renowned conductors, work with other finalists, and get a taste of New York City. Two performances, an Honors Choral Performance and an Honors Instrumental Performance, will take place Sunday, Feb. 10. Marenych has studied music for five years and is a member of the Equinox Theatre at SDSS under the direction of Jennifer McKee and Danielle Hamilton, Delta Youth Theatre with directors Tony Barton and Tracy Neff, and Delta Community Music School with Neff.

South Delta Secondary Grade 12 student Laura Marenych has been selected for the 2019 High School Honours Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. Marenych will perform in February with the Honors Concert Choir. Participation in one of the five Honors Ensembles is limited to the highest-rated high school performers from across the world. Earlier this year, she auditioned for the series and was accepted after a review by the Honors Selection Board. Marenych will join performers from the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada, Australia, Bermuda, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, Poland, Qatar and South Korea for a special performance at the world-famous Carnegie Hall, a venue that marks the pinnacle of musical achievement. “I am truly honoured to be involved in something of this caliber,” she said. “To get to work with students from all over the world and share a common goal is an experience that I will never forget. “Carnegie Hall is a magical place where some of my musical idols have performed. I travelled to New York this past summer with my family. At that time I was excited to just walk past Carnegie Hall. And now that I am going to perform there I’ve realized that this will truly be a highlight of my life.”

Consistency and Moderation
You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again! The key to a healthy, well balanced life is to be consistent and enjoy all things in moderation. This doesn’t mean consistently, inconsistent! As we all know, this can be a lot easier said than done. Practising this lifestyle is especially important during holiday season. While it’s nice to indulge a bit over the holidays, it’s also nice and important to continue our routines and feel good! Moderation does not mean complete restraint. It’s about enjoying life’s pleasures without taking them to excess or extremes. So, have that shortbread cookie and glass of wine – just don’t have 5! Consistency is Key - to many aspects of our lives, including physical activity. We’ve had the pleasure over the last year of witnessing

INTRODUCING THE SAFEST MICRONEEDLING SYSTEM— CLINICALLY PROVEN TO REDUCE THE SIGNS OF AGING SKIN. ARE YOU STILL LOOKING for an effective way to treat FINE LINES, HYPERPIGMENTATION, and ACNE SCARS? Microneedling also known at Collagen Infusion Therapy (CIT) is the answer! Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny punctures in the skin using micro-fine needles (from 0.5 to 2 millimeters in diameter). This triggers the body's wound healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Additionally, once punctures are made, products applied topically (such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin C) are able to penetrate deeper into the skin in order to work more effectively.
Licensed by Health Canada, certified medical-grade device offers consistent performance, safest micro needles and fastest motor on the market. Collagen induction therapy with the eDermaStamp® by Dermaroller® is clinically proven, uses nontraumatic perforations to gently trigger new tissue for Younger looking skin.
Microneedling also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, reduce acne scarring, stretch marks and pigmentation, as well as aid in the effectiveness of topical vitamins and creams.
THOUGH SIMILAR, microneedling IS DIFFERENT THAN dermarolling. For F starters, dermarollers contain super tiny needles that are 0.3 mm or smaller, while professionals, like our trained Spa Time Skin Therapists, can use needles with a width that pr ranges from 0.5 mm to 2 mm. Another way they're different is dermarolling is usually done ra at-home, Spa Time will be offering this retail version and recommending clients use it in a between monthly microneedling appointments to maintain a glowy result. However, what be really re sets the two apart is how deep the penetration is when pricking the skin. dermarolling promotes increased product absorption (up to 90 percent more!), de microneedling goes a little deeper, encouraging the skin to naturally produce collagen and mi elastin. el WHO SHOULD HAVE eDermastamp AND WHEN? The eDermastamp medical device can significantly improve the appearance of; acne and surgical scars, sun damaged and aging skin, facial and décolleté lines and wrinkles. Suitable for all skin types and with minimal downtime following treatment. eDermastamp is ideal for people in need of skin rejuvenation and scar repair. The number of treatments needed will vary depending on the skin complaint being addressed, however eDermastamp would normally consist of three procedures with approximately six weeks between them.

Q: I am afraid of the dentist. Will sedation work for me?
Dr. Raj Dhiman 604-946-9588
A: You are not alone. Many people have fears around dental appointments, resulting from previous bad experiences or just deep seated irrational fears. Regardless, It is possible to have conscious sedation ensuring that you remember little or nothing about your dental appointment. By taking just one little pill, the dentist can complete all the treatment required in as little as one or two appointments.We have treated many patients who have avoided the dentist for decades due to these fears and they would never have thought they could have a healthy mouth. Ask your dental professional about conscious sedation for your next dental appointment.

The Delta Firefighters Charitable Foundation has once again shared the bounty from its annual Harvest Festival. Following the soldout fundraising night in September, members of the foundation visited Ladner’s Reach Child and Youth Development Society with a cheque for $65,000 that included a $25,000 donation from Brad Newell of the King of
Floors. Newell approached the stage during Harvest Fest to announce the contribution and to put out a challenge to the community to match it. Brad’s Challenge is now online at www.deltafirefighters.com/bradschallenge. He hopes the community will join in to raise an additional $25,000 to remove 12 more families from Reach’s Delta Connex waitlist. The Delta Connex program supports families of children with complex
developmental conditions such as FASD. “The support from the Delta firefighters and Brad has had a huge impact on our ability to serve families who are truly struggling in this community,” said program manager Camille Netherton. “Referrals come in on a regular basis to this program, averaging seven per month. Each donation goes directly to serving families. These funds allow us to serve families who are the brink of falter-

ing, have reached the end of their rope and seeking help. We can truly help them now instead of only being able to offer a spot on the waitlist.” Reach is a non-profit charitable society that has been providing services to children and their families since 1959. More than 1,000 children and their families benefit from Reach’s services on an annual basis. For more information or to donate visit: www. reachdevelopment.org.
Little House Society is hoping South Delta residents will give a little back next Tuesday. Little House is one of several South Delta organizations that will be hosting events or activities as part of Giving Tuesday on Nov. 27. Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday has grown in popularity the past few years as a day where charities hold events and/or create giving campaigns to raise funds. Joni Wright, executive director of Little House, said this is the first time the organization has participated in the Giving Tuesday initiative. “We thought it would allow us to raise our profile and take advantage of any fundraising opportunity that we can,” said Wright. “We’re having an open house because still after all these years, there are so many in the community who have no idea what Little House does, or who we are.” The open house will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Residents will have a
chance to tour the facility, learn about the programs and also sign up for a membership, which is $20 a year. Little House Society is a non-profit organization located at 5061-12th Ave. in Tsawwassen. For more than 30 years, Little House has been a place of support and hope for those touched by substance use disorder. Little House provides a safe place for group recovery meetings, individual counselling, group therapy and workshops. Learn more at: www. littlehousesociety.ca.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Jasmin Mehroin Lawyer
Child Support Both parents have the obligation and duty under Canadian law to financially support their child. The monies one parent pays to the other parent for the child is called child support and this payment is meant to provide for the daily needs of the child: food, shelter, clothing, maintenance, future opportunities and other necessities. The underlying idea of child support is that although both parents are no longer together having separated or divorced, the child shall still continue to benefit from the financial support of both parents. Child support is the right of the child, and a parent cannot waive or contract out of this right that belongs to the child. The Canadian Government has established the Federal Child Support Guidelines to help calculate and determine the baseline child support that should be provided for the child or children. In British Columbia, the guidelines apply to children under the age of 19, and over the age of 19, if they are dependent on their parents’ due to illness, disability or other causes. How to Determine the Baseline Child Support Amount that is Due? The monthly child support payments are commonly determined by two factors: 1) The amount the child spends with each parent, 2) One or both parents’ income. If a child spends over 60% of their time with one parent, only the income of the OTHER parent is used to determine basic child support. If a child or children spend more than 40% of their time with both parents, then both the parents’ income are used to determine basic child support amount. It is always important to inquire and know about your obligations when it comes to child paying or obtaining child support.
QUESTION: How do we begin a discussion with our parents about in-home assistance?
ANSWER: Family gatherings, like Christmas, can often be times when families recognize a change in their loved ones abilities. If you aren’t visiting regularly, any change may seem abrupt. It’s key to see how they’re managing - maybe slower, or differently, yet are they still meeting their needs? Are they cooking, cleaning, bathing, socializing? Timing is everything. Be mindful of the environment when initiating a dialogue, so there is no unintentional threat & chose neutral territory.

QUESTION: Last year before Christmas I came in and you had a sale on Royal Canadian Mint product.

I filled up on a lot of Christmas presents for gifts.
ANSWER:
Do you plan on having a similar sale this year?
Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp
A gentle way to introduce help can be through a gift certificate for services. It allows recipients to get comfortable and enjoy the benefits of support without feeling obligation. HoneyDo Gift Certificates ON SALE NOW!
ANSWER: We decided to run a large sale on Royal Canadian Mint product from the first of November until Christmas. As you can understand, we are very well stocked with duplicate inventory since we combined two stores into one. There are now seven large showcases filled with mint products on sale. Starting November 1 we will be giving additional discounts on our lowest sale prices. All RCM product from 2015 and older is now on sale for 25% off the lowest sale price we have it marked at. All RCM product from 2016 will be on sale for 15% off lowest marked price, and 2017 RCM product on sale for 10% off lowest marked price. This is well below our cost on many items, let alone the Mint issue price. These prices are so low that I have Ebay sellers buying off us to resell on Ebay. Gold coins and $20 coins for $20 are not included in this sale.

WHY IS AN APPRAISAL NECESSARY?
ANSWER: Your lender wants to ensure that your purchase price is in line with the property’s fair market value. Lenders want to see that you are purchasing a quality property and that the purchase price is in line with current market values. An appraisal will ensure you have not over paid for your home.

ANSWER:
Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268
In winter, probably what worries people the most is that their pipes will freeze. It is common for both outdoor and indoor pipes to freeze during the winter, so you will want to be proactive to avoid this. First, ensure that your outdoor water systems are shut off and hoses are removed and put away. Ensure that your temperature in your home is at or above room temperature even when you aren’t home. This will help maintain a consistent warm temperature allowing your pipes to flow easily without freezing. This is also the time that your heating system will be doing its hardest work. You will want to make sure it is in good working order and has been regularly serviced.

Delta police officers joined local Special Olympics athletes for a fundraising night at the Boston Pizza in Tsawwassen Mills last week. The BC Law Enforcement Torch Run and Boston Pizza teamed up to support Special Olympics BC through the Cops, Pops and Pizza campaign. Held on Nov. 14, officers and athletes served customers, collected donations and raised awareness for Special Olympics. “Delta police has been involved with Special Olympics for years, so this event came up a few weeks ago and was something we wanted to get on board with,” said Const. Jeremy Pearce. “We have had a lot of help and support from Shannon and Darren who have facilitated this for us. All the athletes out here tonight are paired up with an officer and we’re helping out where we can — clearing tables, pouring water and pop, and just greeting and interacting with customers and raising funds and awareness for Special Olympics.” Pearce said fundraising nights such as this are important to the department. “Nights like this help us continue to be involved in the community. It goes with our policing initiative no call too small and getting involved in the com-
munity we serve. We like being out here for a couple of hours, have positive conversations with people and serving them in a different capacity while supporting these athletes that we love and inspire us.” And the local athletes certainly appreciate the support they get from the police and the community as a whole. “Raising money and awareness helps us to do sport, buy our uniforms, so we can’t do this unless we have people helping

Community 2018 Annual Appeal We are appealing to the community to consider supporting the Delta Hospice Society during this season of giving. We must raise over 50% of our $3 million annual budget to offer the quality and compassionate care to those who come our way. The Society has been a symbol of hope and comfort over the years as it cares for people from the time of diagnosis of cancer or other life-threatening illness and follows families throughout their journey of illness, wellness, recurrence, end-of-life and bereavement. Delta Hospice continues to offer specialized and skilled care despite the cost. However, it requires a commitment from our community to maintain this level of care. PHOTO BY ELIZABETH MURRAY
Parishioner Claire Forster’s jars of honey were just reward for on-site beekeeper Nina Joyce, about to settle her bee colony for winter.
St. David’s fair adds bees to boots, books and baking
Beehives at St. David’s Jubilee Community Garden were abuzz all summer long with bees producing honey that will be part of the edibles available at St. David’s Anglican Church’s Christmas Craft Fair this Saturday. The event kicks off at 10 a.m. with a Keen Footwear sample sale that launches the fair’s European-style Christkindlemarkt. The footwear sale is held semi-annually in May and November at St. David’s. With the Feast of St. Nicholas only 12 days away, Sankt Nikolaus will make an early appearance — in his legendary dress as a bishop-figure of the saint with flowing beard, mitre and staff. Mingling with the crowd, the quasiSankt Nikolaus (parishioner John Hedgecock) will give out sweets to the children marking the European tradition of
present-giving on Dec. 6, keeping Dec. 25 as a religious event. At the home-baking table will be all manner of kitchen fare, including a selection of frozen fruit pies as well as jars of preserves, jams, jellies, pickles, relish and more. Local craftsman Bob Peters will have many handmade objects on proffer — all made from discarded pallets, cut-ends of lumber, and limbs and boughs collected during Delta’s Spring Clean-Up. Other stalls encircling the parish hall will display the work of parishioners who have knitted and stitched, baked and bottled, cut and pasted, refurbished jewelry and polished treasures. In addition, a separate room will be piled high with gently-used books. The parish kitchen, renamed St. David’s Café

Giving back to his hometown James Paxton donates his time to raise money for Delta KidSport chapter MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
James Paxton’s weekend back in his hometown included his surprise 30th birthday party at the Ladner Fishermen’s Hall and stepping up in a big way for the Delta KidSport chapter. The newest member of the New York Yankees, who tossed a nohitter last May against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, ran a pitching clinic at Delta Secondary School on Saturday morning. The hour-long session was auctioned off at last April’s Delta KidSport chapter gala evening and raised $5,000. “This clinic has helped eight families in Delta to be involved in sports,” explained Kathleen O’Neil-Speiran, KidSport Delta’s Chief Coordinator. “The room was crazy that night with a sellout crowd. We even had the mayor bidding on it but it was the Armstrong family who ended up with the winning bid.” O’Neil-Speiran had reached out to Chad Dey to see if his lifelong friend would be willing to donate his time. “I kind of just told him he was doing it,” laughed Dey. “James is pretty good about wanting to give back to the community. Obviously, Ladner still holds a pretty big place in his heart. It’s easy for him to do stuff like this.” Paxton was in the DSS gym for the first time in about a decade. He graduated from the Ladner high school back in 2006 and has spent much of the past 12 years down south, initially on a fullride scholarship to the University Kentucky before taking his career

He finished with an 11-6 record this past season and the hardthrowing lefty has established himself as one of the top strikeout pitchers in the majors. “This is awesome. It’s something I always wanted to do and I look forward to doing more stuff like this now that I am more settled in my role in the major leagues and getting more comfortable with what I have to do to stay where I am at,” said Paxton, who turned 30 on Nov. 6. “I’m really looking forward to giving back to the community.
Showing kids what is possible is so cool. I know we have a lot of hockey players out there but even the kids that love baseball, just showing them if you do the right things and work hard, you can make it from here.” Paxton added he can relate to the high cost of playing sports, especially at the elite level which typically demands more instruction and more travelling. He came through Ladner Minor Baseball before joining the North Delta Blue Jays of the B.C. Premier Baseball League. “All the guys I play with in
Paxton now a Yankee The “Big Maple” is headed to the “Big Apple.” A day after spending a weekend in his hometown, the Seattle Mariners traded Ladner native James Paxton to the New York Yankees for a trio of prospects. A Paxton trade had been widely speculated over the past couple of weeks with the Mariners looking to shift toward a re-build mode after missing the playoffs for the 17th straight year despite winning 89 games this past season. He is under club control for two more
years before becoming a free agent for the first time in his career. He is projected to earn $9 million (US) in 2019. In six seasons with the Mariners, the 30-year-old Delta Secondary graduate finished with a 41-26 record with an ERA of 3.42. He pitched 160.1 innings last season with 208 strikeouts — both career highs. He was selected by the Mariners in the fourth round of the 2010 MLB Draft after a standout collegiate career at Kentucky.

Here, we have to play club sports and, especially those higher level club sports, it can get really expensive,” he continued. “Anyway to set things up like this and do fundraisers to allow kids to play at that level is awesome. “Today, I’m just teaching the kids little tips that I have learned along the way. It’s a way to help out and give back to this community that gave to me.” Paxton and his wife Katie enjoyed a family dinner on Friday night before his 30th birthday party that was organized by Dey.

Provincial bronze for Sun Devils
Outstanding tournament concludes with shootout win over Kelowna to reach podium MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
South Delta Sun Devils senior girls field hockey team has achieved its fifth provincial podium finish in the program’s rich history thanks to a superb showing in Surrey. The tournament’s No. 5 seed earned a bronze medal after outlasting the No. 3 Kelowna Owls in penalty strokes to conclude the 16-team B.C. “AAA” Championships on Friday afternoon at Tamanawis Park. Showing their resiliency like they have done through much of the season, the Sun Devils erased a 1-0 halftime deficit on a goal from Natalie Anderson with about 15 minutes remaining. The Owls looked poised to prevail in the shootout with an early 2-0 advantage. However, goals from Tessa Everett, Adela Padrerol and Maddy Ajromandi erased the margin and goalie Nele Vogler made three straight saves. The result capped a most impressive four-game run against the tournament’s top
seeds. South Delta fell 1-0 to No. 2 Cowichan to conclude roundrobin play with a 2-0-1 record. Defeated No. 4 Oak Bay 1-0 in the quarter-finals and was edged 1-0 by No.1 Handsworth in the semi-finals. Handsworth went on to defeat Cowichan for the North Shore school’s second straight title. “All in all this was a great result for the girls. Going into the event we felt fifth or sixth place would be a reasonable goal, but we knew we could be competitive with some of the higher ranked teams, so there were possibilities,” said longtime coach Neil McLennan. “They played those top teams very well. Two goals against the two highest ranked teams who basically had slaughtered everyone else was amazing. I received a number of compliments for the university coaches in attendance about the style and ability of the girls. They are an exciting team to watch and can play very attractive field hockey.” The turning point of the tournament was the win over PHOTO BY MARK BOOTH

A 1-0 loss in their final round-robin game to Cowichan was part of the Sun Devils’ tough road to the podium.
Oak Bay that put the Sun Devils in the final four. They had lost twice to the Island powerhouse earlier in the season and were determined there wouldn’t be a third time with some strong defensive play. Extra time was looming when South Delta went on a counterattack and scored with just 15 seconds left. That set-up up Friday’s semifinal clash with a Handsworth team that plays at a blistering pace and has the ability to score goals in bunches. The Royals controlled much of the territorial play, but the Sun Devils got some key early stops from Vogler

Grade 10s— Tessa Everett, Natalie Anderson, and Sydney Marshall. Grade 9—Kaya Davis and Heidi Leigh. “This was a team of great character and spirit. Their work ethic, support play and trust in each other was outstanding,” added McLennan. “They never gave up on any game that they played and even not playing well found a way to turn things around and re-discover their team play.”

and the defenders played with terrific poise under tremendous pressure. Finally, Handsworth broke a scoreless tie in the early stages of the second half and there would be no further score. South Delta did generate a couple of corners but couldn’t find the equalizer. The tournament began with a 4-1 win over Centennial that required some key early saves by Vogler before her teammates got rolling. A 6-1 romp over Okanagan Mission followed.

Rams are B.C. champs
South Delta Rams have become the first Junior Bantam team from the Vancouver Mainland Football League to capture B.C. Community Football Association’s provincial 9-man championship. Fresh off their VMFL title a week earlier, Rams took their season to Kamloops last weekend where they squared off with the Shuswap Chargers, Cowichan Bulldogs and Vanderhoof Vikings in 20-minute round-robin mini-games followed by a Texas shootout format in the final. Victories over Shuswap (20-0) and Cowichan (16-0), along with a scoreless tie with Vanderhoof earned the Rams a bye directly to the championship shootout. The Chargers defeated the Vikings and the Bulldogs to earn another shot at South Delta. The Rams found the end zone on their second play from scrimmage when quarterback Kenny Scott combined with receiver Alex Lechner. A successful twopoint convert put even more pressure on the Chargers. A strong surge by the defensive line caught Shuswap by surprise as Jaxen Moore forced a fumble and it was recovered by Trent Clisby to secure the cham-
pionship. It capped a terrific afternoon for the Rams stingy and productive defence. Scott scooped up a pair of fumbles for touchdowns in the opening win over Shuswap, while Jaren Yamaoka who had a stellar day with 15 tackles, a pair of quarterback sacks and six tackle assists. Other terrific efforts were turned in by Max Edwards-Ryland, Aidan Kneesch, Robbie Fisher, Archie Whitehead and Brian Crarer. “Our defense was solid throughout. We did not allow a single point the entire tournament which is a major accomplishment. I knew we could score so we just needed to dig deep on D.” said proud head coach Randi Yamaoka. The victory over Cowichan featured excellent play up front from offensive linemen Lucus Bates, Braydyn Alkassab, Ethan Dodd, and Ryan Leung. Darius Hanna also did a solid job at quarterback, filling in for Scott in the game against Vanderhoof. Ben Holmes hauled in a 35-yard TD pass from Scott in the initial win over Shuswap. Scott received the championships’ team MVP award while Clisby was named most sportsmanlike player of the tournament.

Sun Devils season ends in 67 second span MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
South Delta Sun Devils’ provincial football title aspirations went up in smoke in just over 60 seconds. Leading 12-0 in the second quarter of Saturday’s “AAA” quarter-final tilt at B.C. Place Stadium against unbeaten Vancouver College, the game plan was unfolding to near perfection. The defence produced a pair of early turnovers which the high-octane pass-oriented offence turned into unconverted touchdowns. The Sun Devils were poised to get the ball back again, forcing the Irish into a third and 10 situation from their own 25-yard-line. That’s when the game’s storyline changed for good. VC not only moved the yardsticks but another deep pass completion set up a 14-yard touchdown run by Basil Schincariol. It was on that play Sun Devils’ conference all-star quarterback Ben McDonald suffered a broken thumb on his throwing hand while playing defensive back. The Grade 11 standout bravely tried to continue but he was intercepted on the ensuing series by VC linebacker Matt Hoag for a 41-yard major. The sudden onslaught continued when running back Andrew Kraft was stripped of the ball while trying to drag tacklers. It was recovered by Chris Kongo who went 16-yards for another defensive touchdown. It was the Irish’s third major in just 67 seconds. The sudden 21-12 deficit was essentially insurmountable with McDonald’s inability to throw the ball and everyone on the South Delta sidelines knew it. VC would cruise to a 44-12 victory — a far cry from the 35-34 thriller a month earlier at O’Hagen Field. Offensive coordinator Mark McDonald’s masterful scheme, which often features five receiver sets, is built around Ben’s ability as a running and throwing threat

However, it doesn’t take much to expose the program’s razor thin depth in key areas and that’s what happened Saturday. Back-up quarterback and starting receiver Ethan Troniak is used almost exclusively for “wildcat” formations. He took a few snaps, as did McDonald and Grade

PRACTICAL NURSING
In loving memory of Douglas William Giles who passed away suddenly in Langley, BC on November 7, 2018. He was predeceased by his parents, William David and Florence Patricia (Olson) and his sister Barbra Gail Thompson. He leaves behind his wife Dawn Wilkins, daughter Chantelle (Danny) Savage, son Clint (Carmen) Giles, daughter Pamela (Dale) Bowling, as well as his children through love, Clancy and Molly Doherty. His precious grandchildren Chloe, Logan, Linden, Ryder and Sophia. His cherished siblings Dawn (Dave), Melody, Valerie (Bob), Susan (Ed) and Penny. Along with the mother of his children Merna, many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Doug’s family meant to the world to him, always being involved with his children and grandchildren. A great day for Doug was fishing with his son and when one of his girls tagged along. The next best thing was riding his Harley on a sunny day. His work was unrivalled and he was a proud lineman, NOT technician, for 45 years. He truly enjoyed working his “retirement” with Seth and the boys from IBEX. All are invited to attend a Celebration of Life in honour of Doug on Sunday, December 2, 2018 from 12pm-4pm at the Harris Barn in Ladner (4140 Arthur Dr, Delta, BC). In lieu of Flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Doug are encouraged to do so to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Always Remembered, Forever Loved”
JENSEN, Madeline (nee Burr) March 5, 1931 - November 8, 2018 Madeline passed away peacefully at age 87. She was born of a pioneer family and lived all her life on the Delta. She is predeceased by her husband Jim (1999), brother Harry (2017), sister Bernadine (2018). She is survived by her sister Sylvia and brother Terry and her 5 children; Debbie, Robert, David (Joanne), Cynthia and Julianne. She will be missed by her grandchildren, Stuart, Shawna (Lucas), Graham (Megan), Kierstin (Cody), Brenden, Bryon (Katie), Justice, Jaxson, Jesse, and great-granddaughter Laken. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, November 24 at the Odd Fellows Hall in Ladner between 2pm and 4 pm.

RIDDELL, David Clayton December 18,1955 - November 13,2018 Died at Delta Hospital with his loving sister Jan and his best friend Rodney by his side. Dave was born and lived in Ontario for his first 30 years, the rest were spent in Tsawwassen and Ladner. He worked with his good friend Andrew at Low Cost Equipment where he was well known and liked by the community. Dave loved tools, boating on the Fraser River in his Lund with Mary and Bella. Hanging out at Speed’s Pub with his many friends; bowling, watching (and sometimes playing) golf, gambling, shooting pool and reading. Dave always had a book in his hand. Survived by his sister Janice, niece and nephew Daina and Bradley Pedwell, brother-in-law Ken Bottos, nieces Jenny, Kara and nephew Eric. Predeceased by his parents Clayton and Margaret, eldest sister Susan (Bottos), partner Mary McKinnon, and dog Bella.

ROSS, Thomas Andrew April 1941 - November 2018 Sadly, we announce the passing of Tom after a short battle with an aggressive cancer. Tom grew up on Finn Slough in Richmond. After marrying Bonnie, they settled in Tsawwassen in 1967 to raise their family. Tom is lovingly remembered by Bonnie, his wife of 54 years. He will be deeply missed by his children Cheryl (Don) and Doug (Carolyn), as well as his grandchildren Chase, Noah, Liam, and Holden, along with Judy and Bonnie Detwiller, Chuck and Flyn Thomas and many other relatives and friends. Tom enjoyed his years as a fisherman and carpenter. Before his retirement in 2004, Tom worked for BC Ferries fixing and repairing numerous projects on the ships. His love of the outdoors and ocean brought him many happy times on Pender Island. Tom’s other true passion was his workshop where he created countless numbers of cabinets and his collection of wooden padlocks and safes. A Celebration of Life will be held November 30th, 2018 between 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm at the Beach Grove Golf Club -5946 12th Ave, Tsawwassen.
