Carriers Needed Looking to make a little extra cash or to just get out of the house each week?

The Optimist is always looking for carriers.

Routes are currently available in Ladner and Tsawwassen.

For more information about available routes, call Katie at 604-946-4451 or email distribution@delta-optimist. com.

Second World War veteran and consummate community volunteer Lloyd Jones was named the 2018 Delta Citizen of the Year Friday night.

Jones was presented with the honour at the 67th annual Hats Off to Excellence Awards Gala, presented by the Delta Chamber of Commerce.

The 95-year-old received a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd at the Tsawwassen Springs ballroom.

Jones was his usual witty and humble self as he accepted the honour.

“I thought they were going to ask me to sing

tonight,” Jones said. “I was singing at a function just the other today.

When I started to sing my favourite song, Are You Lonesome Tonight, several ladies in the audience started taking off their clothes and I said my name is Lloyd Jones, not Tom Jones.

“I really, really appreciate being here. I always take the attitude when I go visit people in the hospital, which I do quite frequently, just to go up to someone and say you look pretty. Just to get a smile.

That’s all you need.”

Jones then broke out into song to the delight of the crowd.

Over the years Jones has received count-

Nine others honoured

In addition to Citizen of the Year, the chamber handed out nine other awards at its annual Hats Off gala last Friday night. The other winners are featured on pages 39 to 42. less awards both for his military service and his volunteerism, including the highest award you can receive from the French government for the Battle of Normandy as well as the Queen’s Jubilee medal.

He volunteers for the Legion, the Tsawwassen Community Police Station, visits patients in the hospi-

tal, coached hockey many years ago and gives back to the community in any way he can.

Jones and his family have lived in Tsawwassen since 1967.

“This award means that people are thankful for what I do. I don’t go around making a big deal of things. I just do what I think is right. I love helping people my whole life,” he told the Optimist later in the night.

“This year I sold over $9,000 in poppies. I love people. All my life I have worked with people. Just to get the satisfaction of a smile on someone’s face or to brighten up their day. That’s so important. It makes me feel good.”

Jones hopes to continue his volunteerism for at least a few more years.

“I carried the community torch during the Olympics and I’ve done all kinds of things here,” he said. “I love Tsawwassen.

I enjoy it here and I hope I can continue to do a few more things here.”

In a presentation video, put together for all of the award nominees, Lisa Hoglund, executive director of the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation said it was an honour to nominate Jones.

“We are thrilled to be nominating you as Citizen of the Year. You are incredible. You are what volunteerism is all about,” she said.

Richmond report says bridge dead in water

Delta has championed the former Liberal government’s 10-lane bridge, but new Mayor George Harvie doesn’t believe that project will move forward.

Is the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project dead?

Motorists using the aging tunnel have been wondering that ever since the Green-backed New Democrat government suspended the 10-lane bridge project between South Delta and Richmond in 2017, just as construction was about to commence.

Now, at least according to Richmond’s engineering department, it appears the project is dead. What’s more, Delta Mayor George Harvie also appears

Mobile medical unit is given a test drive at Delta Hospital

Exercise simulates scenario in which ER knocked out of service 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

Delta Hospital staff got to test a state-of-the-art mobile medical unit last week.

With the unit situated in the parking lot, an exercise was set up to test network connectivity for various pieces of technology in the event the hospital should require it in an emergency.

The testing culminated in an emergency exercise last Thursday, a mock scenario in which the hospital’s ER was knocked out of service.

Owned by the Provincial Health Services Authority, the unit, which has been used around the province, is available to support damaged health care facilities or those that require extra capacity due to disasters such as floods, fires or seismic events.

It was used at Surrey Memorial Hospital when the ER suffered extensive flooding.

Teen gets big surprise at Canucks game

Tsawwassen’s Taylin McGill not only meets Brock Boeser but gets trip to see team in San Jose

Taylin McGill has endured more in her young life than most do in a lifetime.

As a newborn, the 15-year-old from Tsawwassen was diagnosed with salmonella bacterial meningitis, a rare and serious infection in the brain that caused swelling and severe seizures. By seven Taylin had endured 14 brain surgeries.

Despite her significant struggles, her positive, energetic attitude has never wavered. Her impact on others — including the hundreds of doctors and hospital staff she’s touched — led to her being named the 2016 Children’s Miracle Network Champion Child ambassador for BC Children’s Hospital.

She is also a dedicated Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser fan, so when the Air Canada Foundation learned of Taylin’s story, it decided to use its partnership with the Canucks to do something special.

Earlier this month Taylin received a video

The day started with Taylin and her family having lunch inside Rogers Arena with former Canucks Kirk McLean and Brendan Morrison. Air

Canada surprised Taylin with a new Canucks jersey with her last name and favourite number, 33, on the back. After lunch Taylin and her sister got to fist bump the Canucks as they came out of the dressing room and took to the ice.

Taylin and her family sat in the front row.

During the first period Taylin’s story was shown on the scoreboard, after which she and her whole family were surprised with a trip to see the Canucks play the Sharks Feb. 16 in San Jose.

“I’ll never forget this

day,” said Taylin. “I didn’t think things could get any better, and then all of a sudden I learned that I get to watch the Canucks play in San Jose. I was still overwhelmed when the game ended, and someone from the Canucks invited me to come to the dressing room with them.”

At the dressing room, Taylin was greeted by Boeser, who gave her a signed jersey and a tour of the team’s practice facility.

Air Canada Fan Flight is run in partnership with all seven Canadian NHL teams.

The program sees dozens of Air Canada employees — from flight attendants to pilots to ramp crew — interact with fans at select games and surprise inspiring fans like Taylin with flights and tickets to see their favourite Canadian teams play on the road.

“Taylin has made an incredible mark in life, and we’re so pleased to celebrate her story and to have her join us for the Vancouver Canucks Fan Flight experience,” said Andrew Shibata of Air Canada. “Our employees were truly inspired by how Taylin sets an example of positivity and strength for those around her, no matter what difficulties she’s facing. We try to build our airline on values like those displayed by Taylin — values that define Canadians.”

hey sought an enclosed facility, but I’m not so sure this is what they had in mind.

Plagued by the stench from the Enviro-Smart composting operation, East Ladner residents began efforts a couple of years ago to reclaim their back yards and at the time it seemed like enclosing the 72nd Street facility would produce the desired result. This summer, at long last, Metro Vancouver issued an air quality permit that, among other things, mandated an enclosed facility

by March 2020.

That has to be considered good news, but I don’t think when this journey started that many expected what’s coming down the pike. The building Delta issued a permit for last week is 137,000 square feet. If that sounds big it’s because, well, it is, given the Walmart that opened at Tsawwassen Commons last year is just slightly larger at 150,000 square feet. Throw in a 30,000-square-foot biofilter, a 10,000-square foot connector building and the existing composting building and you’ve got one heck of an industrial operation ready to take shape on what’s supposed to be farmland.

Delta didn’t have many cards to play, and wasn’t in a legal position to deny the building permit, but how we’ve gone from annoying composter to what’s on the horizon is disconcerting, although I suspect many in East Ladner might have chosen a different adjective to describe what’s transpired.

With GFL investing upwards of $20 million to build a new facility, it stands to reason the company will be looking to recoup that money and the only way to do so would be to increase the volume of material it processes, which is currently capped at 150,000 tonnes annually. It says it has no plans to seek an increase at this point, which makes sense given the new facility is still more than a year off, but you know that request is coming. When it does, Delta has the final say. Does that make you feel better?

Senior civic staffers believe the new building will eliminate the odours, which has been the goal all along, so they consider it the best course of action given what are limited options.

It’s hard to argue with that logic, but something doesn’t seem quite right when the company that created all the problems is the one that stands to come out the big winner.

There are valid reasons to back status quo but none provided

A

midst the start of the holiday season and a postal strike being squashed by our supposedly pro-labour federal government, the province has given us an unexpected gift: an extension to the proportional representation (PR) referendum.

I am not going to tell you whether any of the proposed systems of PR are better than our current first-past-the-post (FPTP) system. Given the approach the provincial government has taken in the referendum, neither side has presented enough evidence to make a definitive decision.

Nevertheless, while both sides are worthy of suspicion, the No BC Proportional Representation Society’s specifically negative campaign has presented an affront to political sensibility that needs to be addressed.

Allow me to add the disclaimer that I believe there are many valid reasons to support a FPTP system. Unfortunately, the appropriately named No-PR campaign does not seem to mention a single one.

Rather than extol the virtues of a FPTP system, the No-PR campaign’s messaging lives up to its name, eliciting patronizing imagery of the horrors that a PR electoral system would bring.

This goes so far as to say that PR is as confusing as incompre-

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

hensible logarithmic calculus as its primary argument. Despite the lack of clarity regarding things like riding size and seat distribution, I do not believe that British Columbians are too unintelligent to understand the options. No PR system uses confusing algorithms to determine who is elected. If the resulting system is unfair and gerrymandered, it will be due good old fashion human corruption.

If you think the options are too complex, Joel McCarthy made an excellent 10-minute video explaining all three options in simpler English than mine. A quick online search will bring it up. This is especially important to people inclined to vote against PR as you should always understand your enemy.

Another argument from the forces of no is that PR will lead to a rise in backroom deals. It is

almost like they forgot that under the decade of BC Liberal majority governments the New York Times called BC the “Wild West of political cash.” This is not to mention unresolved issues involving BC Housing, ICBC, BC Hydro, deleted emails, money laundering and many more.

The decentralization of power leads to more checks and balances rather than the rampant power imbalance that resulted in our current situation.

While these are bad arguments, their worst is that PR would give extremist parties a voice. Leaving aside the five per cent threshold means no fringe party would have ever met that quota, free speech is not a negative thing. The only cure for a bad idea is sunlight, so to give extremists a say is to expose their folly. This, too, is not a bad thing. However, arguing from a platform of fear and confusion is.

Whether you vote yes or no in the referendum is up to you. But I implore you, educate yourself and find better reasons than those presented by the No-PR campaign.

Hiring has unpleasant odour

Editor: Re: Mayor hires unsuccessful council candidate, Nov. 22 It seems the East Ladner compost isn’t the only thing causing a stink in Delta. Rookie Mayor George Harvie has hired his former running mate Param Grewal to a publicly funded job that will pay him half a million over four years.

A true contract requires specific deliverables (product or service) to be provided for payment.

What exactly will Grewal be delivering and when?

How often will Grewal be reviewed for performance of these deliverables and what happens if he does not deliver?

What are the details of the exit clause in the contract? If Grewal leaves the city will he retain all four years payment of $125,000 annually or will the contract end in 30 days without full payment?

What hiring process was used to select Grewal and was it public?

These are only a few of the questions that come to mind in this situation where there is limited transparency.

To be fair, if Harvie really needed Grewal to work for him, maybe taxpayers could live with a short-term contract, say six months. But to ink a four-year deal with public funds is excessive and the public perception of this deal can only be bewilderment and an unpleasant odour.

Coming home to ‘unenlightened system’

Editor: The current legislation that will apply to Uber gaining a licence to operate in B.C. is, quite frankly, archaic.

My husband and I stood in the freezing cold waiting for over 40 minutes for a taxi to arrive at YVR last Sunday. When the driver did arrive, not only was he not well (flu/cold), but he made several incorrect lane changes and we literally had to direct him to

our home in Tsawwassen.

It’s too bad we had to leave the sophisticated transport system in the United States, where Uber is readily available, to arrive at the unworldly and unenlightened current transport system in B.C. With the festive season approaching, my concern is that our current taxi system cannot service the public’s needs and people’s safety is at stake.

I have been a victim of

the current failure of our public transport system with our elderly friends and my son was hit and almost killed by a 20-yearold drunk driver several years ago.

Had Uber been in place and transportation readily available, I might not have had to receive that call on New Year’s Eve 2016.

It’s time to put the public first and politics second.

Legion gets much support for Poppy Campaign

Editor: On behalf of the Ladner Legion, I would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest appreciation to each and every one of our volunteers for their valued time and support during our recent Poppy Campaign.

I would also like to extend appreciation to the many organizations that

in total raised almost 30 per cent of our funds. They were three Royal Canadian Air Cadet squadrons (819, 828 and 1867), Ladner Girl Guides and Ladner Scouts.

Lastly, a special thank you to the 221 [North Delta and Ladner] merchants and schools that support the campaign by allowing donation boxes to be left/distributed at their

places of operations.

Given this tremendous support, we were able to raise approximately $50,000 that will again go to assisting our veterans and their respective families in addition to several others within our community.

Council applauded for dumping golden handshake

Editor: Re: Council puts an end to golden handshake, Nov. 22 I was happy to read your story and was particularly happy to read Coun. Bruce McDonald’s comment suggesting any member of council is free to donate their salary or benefit to charity. I totally support this noble gesture

to retract the golden handshake payout and eagerly look forward to reading the names of members who donate the benefit to a charitable organization in Delta.

My congratulations to the mayor and our new council on reaching this decision so early in their term.

Albeit elected, in my

opinion, council should continue to receive their salaries and benefits.

Members devote a large amount of time and effort, and should be compensated appropriately by the taxpayers of Delta.

I hope withdrawal of this controversial benefit is not added on as a salary adjustment in future years.

Crops definitely make a difference to bird population

Editor: The magnificent spectacle of the snow geese arriving in South Delta reminds me how fortunate we are to live in an area of such rich diversity, but also of how fragile and vulnerable the environment is.

We need to acknowledge the important role of farmers who leave rem-

nant crops from plantings of potatoes and other root vegetables in their fields, as well as those who plant green growing grass cover crops that the geese feed on.

We also must discourage the proliferation of greenhouses and monocrops such as blueberries, which cause habitat loss

for so many bird species, including raptors, snow geese and other resident and migratory birds.

We must remain vigilant with our oversight of our elected officials at every level of government and the projects they sign off on that will affect wildlife forever.

Officers honoured by lieutenant governor DPD members among those recognized during ceremony at Government House in Victoria

Bringing justice to an elderly woman defrauded of her life’s savings, entering a dimly lit room to confront an armed gunman with a hostage, wading into frigid waters to save a suicidal male…

The exceptional work and bravery of Delta police officers and reserve constables were recognized at Police Honours Night at Government House in Victoria last Thursday.

Const. Kristine Pemberton was acknowledged for meritorious service with respect to an elder abuse file in which an elderly woman was defrauded of $100,000.

The accused bullied, threatened, lied and stole substantial amounts of money from multiple victims.

Pemberton took on the complaint in September 2016, and her doggedness in pursuit of evidence was described as exceptional.

She was recognized for the hundreds of hours of investigative time, her commitment to the victims and their welfare, and for her outstanding work in delivering a wellorganized and thorough investigation to Crown counsel.

The accused pled guilty

Delta police officers (from left) Const. Dave Ogilvy, reserve Const. Justin Wong, Const. David Dyck, Sgt. Mike Scholz, S/Sgt. Dave Vaughan-Smith and Const. Kristine Pemberton were recognized for their actions. in March 2018.

“With our aging population in British Columbia, it is imperative that elder abuse situations are closely watched and investigated. Our seniors have shaped and built the world as it is, and it is our duty to protect them,” said Chief Neil Dubord. “Const.

Pemberton’s thoroughness, judgement and dedication are an example to all police officers.”

Several Delta police officers and reserve constables were also recognized for valour and meritorious service for their life-saving efforts on the shores of South Delta.

A suicidal male entered frigid ocean waters in Goose Bay in February 2018 in an attempt to take his own life. Const. David Dyck and Sgt. Mike Scholz, along with reserve Const.

Justin Wong entered the waters in order to bring the man to safety. In doing so, the officers began to develop hypothermic symptoms.

S/Sgt. Dave VaughanSmith and reserve Const.

Brian Short (now a DPD constable) also entered the water to help bring the distraught man to safety.

“It was a perilous situation as officers arrived on scene to find the dis-

traught man well out in the water,” said Dubord.

“After five minutes in the water the officers were not only sinking in the silt, but the tide was rapidly coming back in. Fortunately they reached the man, who was seriously injured, but they had no quick way to get him or themselves back safely, as efforts to obtain a boat had failed.

As they supported him back to shore, the two officers were developing hypothermic symptoms and could no longer move their legs. That’s when the other officers who had arrived on scene took over from the initial responding

officers.”

Dyck, Scholz and Wong were taken to Delta Hospital, but were released soon after.

Const. Dave Ogilvy was recognized for valour, and nominated by deputy Commissioner Brenda Butterworth-Carr, head of the BC RCMP. Ogilvy was part of the Integrated Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team called to an active shooter situation at a residence in Burnaby in September 2015. A man had shot the boyfriend of his ex-wife, causing the exwife, child and grandchild to flee. The situation was

grave as a hostage was grievously injured and there were tenants in the suite upstairs.

Butterworth-Carr noted that Ogilvy insisted on taking point position.

“Const. Ogilvy showed tremendous valour in his role as the first member to enter the dimly lit basement suite where it was known that an armed man who had shot at other people was inside; thus again knowingly putting himself in the position with the greatest risk,” she wrote.

While trying to locate the injured victim, Ogilvy came face-to-face with the suspect, who was still armed with a rifle. Ogilvy tried to de-escalate the situation, but the victim did not survive the encounter.

The suspect also died during the event.

“Throughout the call, Const. Ogilvy demonstrated calmness and professionalism,” said Butterworth-Carr.

“I am very proud of all of these officers for their dedication to public safety,” said Dubord. “I wanted to take this opportunity to share their stories with our community, as I think our citizens would appreciate the chance to learn more about their efforts as well.”

Take the survey to provide your feedback on how Delta police are doing

Delta police are looking for feedback on policing in the community.

The department is encouraging everyone to provide their input on policing issues by filling out a service delivery assessment. The assessment will take about six to seven minutes to complete and is at: https:// www.research.net/r/ DeltaPolice_Service_ Assessment.

“If you have any sug-

gestions for Delta police, ideas on community partnerships or road safety, or want police to focus on a certain illegal activity, please take the time to provide your thoughts,” said public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf in a news release.

“Or perhaps you’re a business owner with a burning concern, or you’ve been a victim of crime and want to offer feedback on the service you receive.”

Questions on the assessment range from how often people have had personal contact with the Delta police to how they get information about policing in Delta.

“The Delta Police Department is proud of our community policing model and our partnership with the community. We are committed to improving the safety and security of Delta, and the public’s feedback is key,”

said Leykauf.

Those who are not able to complete the assessment online can come into either of the department’s main offices in Ladner and North Delta to complete the form.

Alternatively, call 604946-4411 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and a public information representative will complete the form with the caller on the phone and submit it on their behalf.

More than 400 volunteers will be out and about in the community starting Friday night for the 17th edition of Operation Red Nose.

Organized once again in Delta/Richmond by the Delta Gymnastics Society, and supported by provincial sponsor ICBC, Operation Red Nose is back to provide a safe ride home to those who don’t feel fit to drive.

The program runs from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 31. Call 604-943-0460 to request a ride.

Operation Red Nose is in its 35th year across Canada and 23rd in B.C. This year the program will be offered in 11 communities in B.C. Local volunteers drove just about 13,000 kilometres while giving almost 400 safe rides home last year.

Delta Gymnastics executive director Ana

Arciniega said Operation Red Nose is a chance for the club to give back to the community for all the supports it receives.

“We have our volunteers and our staff put in a lot of time to make this all work.

We start planning in July.

It’s really a year-long thing for us.”

Volunteers are really what makes the program a success.

John Holmes, who owns Hawaiian Beach Tanning Salon in Ladner, is a consummate volunteer and has been there from the beginning.

The awareness of Operation Red Nose started during a trip to Quebec while he was coaching a youth hockey team.

“We got out of a restaurant and I saw this group down the street and it looked like Masons to me, so I strolled down for a chat,” Holmes said.

“When I got closer I saw they were all wearing these red noses, so I asked them what was going on and they explained they

were part of Operation Red Nose. I thought what a great idea, wish we had something like that at home.”

When Holmes returned he ironically saw signs seeking volunteers for the first year of Operation Red Nose in Delta.

“I said, well John, time to put your money where mouth is and volunteer,” he said.

Over the years Holmes said he has met a lot of great people, helped get many home safely and made a lot of memories.

“I don’t know of any way that a person can volunteer and help so many people with very little effort on our part,” he said.

“My staff too are tremendous. They make sure that I don’t have to be at work on Fridays and Saturdays so I can volunteer, so they too are helping with this program behind the scenes.”

Four Winds to share plans for Southlands brew pub Public meeting is being held tonight at SDRC 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

The City of Delta is hosting a public information meeting for a proposed Four Winds Brewing Company craft brewery and restaurant that would be built at the Southlands.

The application notes the craft brewery and restaurant is proposed to be up to 30,140 square feet in floor area and up to 51 feet in height. It would contain the brewing and bottling components of the operation. The warehousing and distribution of the brewery product would be handled at an industrial location elsewhere.

According to the Century Group, which is developing the Southlands, a major factor that influenced Four Winds’ decision to locate there was the ability to have a restaurant and brewing facility right beside a farm, giving Four Winds the opportunity to grow its own hops, grain and other ingredients for

use in specialty beers.

The restaurant will also focus on using fresh ingredients sourced directly from the farm and local to the region.

“Growing up in Tsawwassen, I could have never imagined the kind of community that Century Group has planned for Southlands,” said Adam Mills, sales and marketing director and co-founder of Four Winds Brewing Company, in a press release this summer.

“The fact that over 300 acres of the land is being prepped for prime agricultural use has us very inspired with regards to access to hyper local ingredients as we plan the prospect of our future beer and culinary destination,” he said.

The company also noted the Southlands site already has zoning in place for a brew pub.

Century Group and Four Winds are requesting the city make modifications to the current Southlands zoning to accommodate

the unique needs of Four Winds business operations and its future growth plans, a Century news release explained.

The public meeting will take place Thursday, Nov. 29 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the South Delta Recreation Centre.

The public will have an opportunity to view display boards that provide information about the application and staff will be available to answer questions.

Jackson loses bid to return as chair of Metro board 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

Hoping the new Metro Vancouver directors will look at issues from a more regional perspective, she gave it another go.

Delta Coun. Lois Jackson made an unsuccessful bid earlier this month to be chair of the Metro Vancouver board, a position she held from

Delta moving slowly and carefully on pot shops 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

Will recreational users of marijuana be able to walk into a shop in Delta and pick up their favourite brands?

That’s one of the myriad of issues the new Delta council is going tackle when it comes to now legal recreational cannabis.

Mayor George Harvie said the city has already taken a pre-emptive move by prohibiting retail cannabis dispensaries in all zones, well ahead of the federal government’s legalization of non-medical pot last month.

The new zoning regulation requires anyone wanting to set up a private store to make an application for a rezoning and appear before council. The rule would also apply to a government-run pot store, although, so far, there’s no indication the province is planning to set up a store in Delta.

What hasn’t been ruled out is the possibility of allowing a retail store to open in an industrial zone, but Harvie noted the city will be moving slowly and carefully before any decision is made.

“The first thing we will do is that we’ll be setting up a public safety committee in the new year. That will be one of the first subjects to ask them to comment on,” he explained.

A previous Delta civic report notes the city supports a public retail system where cannabis is sold through stand-alone government-operated stores and through an online ordering service.

However, Delta does not support the private sale of cannabis.

Cities have zoning control, giving them the ability to prohibit or restrict stores to certain areas.

2006 to 2011.

At the inaugural board of directors meeting, which featured a bunch of new faces and a vacant chair’s seat with Greg Moore’s departure from politics, Jackson put her name forward. Also in the running were Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal and Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie.

Dhaliwal ended up get-

ting elected in a secret ballot. North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan was elected vice-chair.

“If you analyze the makeup of the entire board this year after the election, there were nine people that were remaining and two of those had really taken on the task of being the chair (New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote) and vice-

chair (Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese) of TransLink (Mayors’ Council), so you’re getting down to just a few people who had really any experience how the Metro Vancouver regional board operates, how it runs, how it reacts with the communities,” explained Jackson.

The former long-time Delta mayor, who’s continuing her political career

as a member of city council, said the region needs to have a wider view.

“We need a more regional view on planning and transportation, as opposed to each municipality coming forward to push specifically for their own problems. We have to look at those region-wide and how they fit in. I was very concerned that we would not get off on the

right foot, not progressing down the road that’s totally regional. The learning curve is very steep and there’s a lot of work involved with the new mayors,” she said.

Jackson said Dhaliwal, a Burnaby councillor since 2002, is a good choice.

Mayor George Harvie joins Jackson representing Delta on the Metro Vancouver board.

Representatives from inclusive employers including 7 Eleven, Canuel Caterers, City of Delta, Delta Golf Course, Delta Police Department, Dexterra, Kinsmen Lodge, Ladner United Church, Madras Café, Office of MP Carla Qualtrough, Salvation Army, Santevia Water and Surdel Coffee News gathered to celebrate the Delta Community Living Society program.

Businesses recognized

Delta Community Living Society partnered with Rotary at Work to host a recent event to celebrate businesses that have committed to hiring people with developmental disabilities.

The dinner, held at Delta Golf Course, included representatives from two dozen local businesses that have hired people with developmental disabilities.

At the dinner, guests heard personal employment stories from people with diverse abilities and received information about how to partner with DCLS.

“DCLS Solutions Employment is a recruitment service that comes free of charge to the business. It proves to be a win for the people we support with diverse abilities who gain paid employment and a win for the businesses that have filled labour gaps,” said DCLS employment strategy manager Annette Borrows.

Santevia Water CEO Yvonne Anderson spoke at the event.

“Santevia Water partnered with DCLS this fall when we were facing a short-term labour shortage following a successful marketing campaign,” said

Anderson. “After looking at our core values — which include innovation, persistence, wellness and giving back — our team came up with the idea to bring on short-term help from DCLS Solutions Employment.

Anderson said a team of five people with diverse abilities came to Santevia’s office and assembled over 14,000 packages in 10 days.

DCLS Solutions Employment works with job seekers and local businesses to make employment matches. To find out more, visit www.dcls.ca or call 604-946-9508.

Lawlor’s estate jewelry raises $12,000 and counting Christmas is going to be extra merry this year for the Delta Hospice Society.

Ladner Village’s Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe is enriching the ongoing partnership with the society by encouraging the community to support the purchase of estate jewelry during the holiday season.

It started back in 2014 when the Delta Hospice Society received a couple of valuable pieces of jew-

Since that time the estate jewelry section has grown to be close to 25 families with over 300 pieces. Lawlor now accepts jewelry from members of the community on consignment, with 10 per cent of each sale going to Delta Hospice.

B.C.’s natural gas supply may be limited this winter

Reduce your use Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline earlier this fall, B.C.’s natural gas supply will be restricted this winter. Even though the line is now repaired, it’s operating at a lower capacity and will be transporting a reduced amount of natural gas to FortisBC this winter. We’re doing everything we can to ensure all our customers receive the natural gas they need. You can help by reducing your use. Every bit you save helps ensure we have the natural gas to keep homes warm and businesses working. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse

November 29, 2018 The Delta Optimist A21

Why we need to conserve natural gas this winter

If the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline is repaired why isn’t it business as usual?

Enbridge expects their pipeline system to transport up to 85 per cent of its full capacity following approval from the National Energy Board (NEB). Engineering assessments will continue on Enbridge’s system until they receive approval from the NEB to return to 100 per cent capacity. During this period, our supply will be limited when demand is at the highest, such as an extended cold snap.

Here’s how you can help Conservation will ensure we can provide the natural gas our customers need this winter. And with more than one million customers, a little conservation can go a long way. Here’s how you can help: Turn down the heat at home: if just 11 homes set their thermostat 3 °C lower for when they need heat, it could save enough natural gas to provide heat and hot water for one home for a year.1

Savings are approximate, assuming a thermostat setback of an additional three degrees Celsius for when heat is needed in a natural gas heated 2,300 - 2,600 square foot home located in a FortisBC service area. On average, a home this size consumes 90 gigajoules of natural gas annually.

1

Assumes an additional setback of three degrees Celsius for 10 hours each weekday, saving 90 gigajoules of natural gas over the heating season, enough to heat one average sized home for a year.

Turn down the heat at work: if a 23,000 square foot office set its thermostat 3 °C lower during office hours, it could save enough natural gas to provide heat and hot water for one home for a year.2 Take shorter showers: save hot water by shortening your showers by two minutes.

Put on a sweater: if you’re cold, reach for a sweater, socks or blanket instead of turning up the heat. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse Connect with us

One of the special things about Christmastime is the longing for peace frequently expressed in Christmas cards, greetings and prayers — inner peace, peace in relationships and communities, world peace, peace on earth.

There’s something about the season that brings forth expressions of this longing for peace. It is a wonderful blessing that this deep urge and need surfaces so widely among those who, in religious or secular ways, observe Christmas.

In the story of the birth of Christ, heavenly angels visit lowly shepherds with their flocks at night and

Jerry Whitehead is the artist in residence at Southpointe Academy until December. His work primarily showcases ceremonial powwow scenes and incorporates vivid colours to produce vibrant paintings.

Inspiring their creativity

Jerry Whitehead enjoying his time as Southpointe Academy’s artist in residence 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

First Nations artist Jerry Whitehead is a storyteller, but instead of the written or spoken word, he tells his stories through his canvas and paint brush.

Whitehead is ensuring the stories of today are alive tomorrow through his paintings and passing on his knowledge to students in Southpointe Academy’s artist in residence program.

Whitehead has been working with every grade at the Tsawwassen private school since early October.

He will be at the campus until mid-December.

Originally from Saskatchewan, Whitehead is of Plains Cree heritage.

He graduated with a bachelor of arts in Indian art from the University of Regina and then moved to Nova Scotia, obtaining a bachelor of fine arts from NSCAD University.

He eventually settled down and started a family in Vancouver.

He was introduced to the school experience in the Fraser Valley in 1997.

His artist in residence at Southpointe is his first time working in South Delta.

Each day he works with the students teaching lessons in the afternoon and painting in the school foyer. All of the students’ work will be part of a larger mural that will eventually hang in the school’s Hodgins Library.

He said he has always enjoyed the interactions with students, which is why he never passes up an opportunity to get into a school.

“I never really planned it that way. I thought I would rely on my art on my own, but I met this one teacher in Langley and she got the ball rolling,” he said. “She invited me as a presenter of my work and it blossomed into workshops and then I was an artist in residence and then started doing murals.

It just ballooned into other things.”

He feels giving back to students ensures that art and the creative spirit will live on in the future.

“The way I look at it, when I was going to school, no one ever came into schools to show what they do in the real world,” Whitehead said.

“Nowadays you have people who come in and present their work, so it’s the right way to teach.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

If someone wants to be an artist they can see the work. If you can get one or two interested, you have succeeded in what you are doing.

“It’s always inspirational to me. I think the kids love it. Every day is new. Every day they see a different colour and they notice.

They always ask questions.

It’s quite a nice interaction.”

Grade 9 student Alexandra Green describes Whitehead’s art as beautiful and inspiring.

“It is colourful, meaningful and interesting. I always find myself wandering around to see what he has done,” she said.

“His work is amazing and it tells a story — one that is intriguing and deep. He is doing a wonderful job and I am so excited to see what he does next.”

She said she is learning a lot through his teachings.

“I have had the pleasure of being taught by him in my art class where we recently made faces out of paper cut outs,” she said.

“It seems simple but there is a completely larger picture to this.”

Senior school art teacher Sandy Kwok-Swan said this is the school’s second artist in residence.

“He is such a thoughtful, kind man. You feel it when you are with him,

the kids feel it and he just brings out something that is nice in your being,” said Kwok-Swan. “When I was looking at his work I realized that I bought one of his greeting cards 20 years ago from a little shop in Steveston, so it’s weird how life works sometimes.

When I was referred to him, we met for lunch and talked and we just had an instant connection.”

She said the whole school is proud of the work and can’t wait to see the final mural unveiled in December.

“We have done this program before and it was successful, but I feel we have brought things to another level with Jerry,” she said. “He’s been amazing with the kids.

Having a real artist come in and interact with the students and have them see him every day and see how much joy he gets out of it as well as seeing someone like this in the fine arts is essential to the kids because they are so academically driven — we have to bring back the passion for the arts.

Imagination and creativity is getting lost, but artists like Jerry can show that to these students, which is so important.”

Holiday concerts on South Delta calendar 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 holiday season is upon us — a season of joy, happiness and a time to share great music and Christmas traditions with family and friends.

There are a host of Christmas shows and concerts taking place in South Delta, kicking off with the Delta Choral Society’s two festive concerts featuring four amazing choirs.

Celebrate the Season will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1 at 2 and 7 p.m. at the South Delta Baptist Church (1988-56th St.).

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students/seniors and free for children 10 and under.

Tickets can be purchased from any choir members, at LYFE Design Studio, online at www.deltachoral.ca or at the door.

Julie Lymburner with the Delta Choral Society said the choirs have been working hard since September to ensure they put on the best show possible.

“It is a very full program.

We love to have the children involved and they are very accomplished,” she said. “Our mix of songs is very eclectic because we like to have the choirs perform a wide variety of music that I think the audience enjoys. Our guest musicians are very accomplished and most are with the Delta Concert Band.

We also have a few surprises in store as well. It’s going to be a great show and a great way to kick off the holiday season.”

There are many more local concerts this holiday season. Here are details on many of them: • Dec. 1: Shari’s Saturday Social Christmas Extravaganza, KinVillage Community Centre, 543010th Ave., Tsawwassen.

Delta Nature talk to take people on an Antarctic odyssey

Delta Nature presents The Antarctic: An Expedition Cruise from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Led by David Hoar and Noreen Rudd, the free presentation will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Benediction Lutheran Church in Tsawwassen.

Starting in Punta Arenas, Chile, Hoar and Rudd flew to Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, to board the Akademik Yoffe that became their home for the next 18 days.

They began by landing on the East Falkland destinations of Sea Lion Island and Bleaker Island to visit southern sea lion and rockhopper penguin colonies before crossing the Scotia Sea to South Georgia where they saw massive king penguin colonies.

After landing on the continent of Antarctica, they spent the next four days exploring historic sites and visiting research stations as they continued

southwards along the peninsula.

With naturalists and scientists giving presentations on sea days, it was a busy and remarkable introduction to this fascinating part of the world.

Hoar is a retired molecular geneticist who served on the faculty of University of Toronto, University of Calgary and University of B.C. during his working career as a research scientist, teacher and consultant.

Research interests were in DNA genetic diagnosis, forensic DNA identification and, most recently, as a consultant in tissue matching for the B.C. Transplant Program.

Rudd is a retired pediatrician research scientist and medical geneticist who served on the faculty of University of Toronto and University of Calgary before retiring in 1991. She was instrumental in developing prenatal testing in Canada and is a founding member of the Canadian College of Medical Geneticists.

Fair showcases programs, services available in Delta

The public is invited to an information fair showcasing government and non-profit agencies that provide services for children and families.

The Delta Child and Youth Committee is hosting the fair on Friday, Dec. 7 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Harris Barn (4140 Arthur Dr., Ladner).

Government and nonprofit agencies will have information booths to help residents familiarize themselves with the programs and services available in Delta.

The Delta Child and Youth Committee is made up of non-profit, government and community agencies and organizations that work to improve the lives of children, youth and families. The committee and its subcommittees have been meeting regularly since the 1980s as a venue for service providers to learn from each other, to plan and to collaborate.

The committee’s vision is for children and youth in Delta to have optimal development, health, wellbeing and achievement.

Police officer to visit McKee to talk opioids with seniors

What is happening with the current opioid and fentanyl crisis and how does this affect seniors?

The McKee Seniors Recreation Centre in Ladner is hosting a free information session in the McKee Lounge on Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 11 a.m.

Delta police Const.

Ken Kirk from the Ladner

Community Police Station will speak on the current opioid crisis and fentanyl.

Christmas Tree Fest kicks off the season in Ladner Village

The wet weather didn’t put a damper on the Christmas spirit in Ladner Village last Thursday.

The Ladner Business Association helped kick off the holiday season with its annual Christmas Tree Festival.

Hundreds of families came out to enjoy the spirit of the season with entertainment, crafts, writing letters to Santa, sipping on hot chocolate and watching Santa light up the Christmas tree.

“The event went really well,” said LBA president Jill McKnight. “The weather was pretty inclement earlier in the day, so I think that slowed down the crowds a bit, but as the weather improved, we certainly saw the crowds swell as we got closer to the tree lighting. We were tremendously happy with the turnout and just the number of families who are discovering the event, which is wonderful.”

McKnight said it’s important for the community to realize that so many businesses come together to support the event.

“There are something

The business gingerbread house contest received a number of interesting designs this year. like 34 sponsors that help to put on this as well as the Breakfast with Santa,” she said. “That’s tremendous.

That’s saying these businesses want to give back and want to be a part of creating wonderful memories for families in the community.”

One of the more popular activities Thursday night was the business gingerbread house contest.

McKnight said more than 600 votes were cast with the winner being HoneyDo Lifestyle Assistant.

“Each year we are seeing different businesses participate and finding

a way to showcase their business,” she said. “We had some creative ideas.

There were birdhouses, a bridge, a castle. I know one business told me they spent three weeks working on their design. Our hope is that this will continue to grow. The contest is open to adults and kids to vote on. Our colouring contest was also a huge success.

“It’s hard to gauge the attendance, but when I was on the stage I looked out and all I could see was smiling faces. When Santa arrived you could just feel the energy and the excitement, so that’s why we do this.”

New Rotary Club event ready to light up Memorial Park

A new Christmas tradition begins this year thanks to the Ladner Rotary Club.

On Friday, Dec. 7 from 4 to 7 p.m., Rotarians invite the whole community to enjoy its inaugural Christmas Tree Lighting event in Memorial Park.

After co-sponsoring the Ladner Rotary Splash Park with the City of Delta, which attracted thousands during the summer, Ladner Rotarians are hoping the play area in Memorial Park will attract many more for the festive season as club members will light it up with two 65-foot trees as well as decorate the adjacent gazebo area.

To help with the big job of suspending all the

The actual lighting of the 65-foot Christmas trees will be at 5:15 p.m.

by Rotary Club of Ladner president Kerry-Lynne Findlay and Delta Mayor George Harvie.

“Santa will be out and about spreading good cheer and the spirit of Christmas throughout the three-hour tree lighting event,” said project leader Walt Hayward.

“There will be live music provided by community singers known as The Happy Wanderers plus hot chocolate, cookies and candy canes.”

McDonald’s in Ladner will donate freshly baked cookies and Save-On Foods in Ladner is providing the candy canes.

Hayward said an excellent photo opportunity will be inside the Reach building next to the splash park as Santa will be sitting on his large red Christmas chair to welcome children along with two helpers.

Also on hand will be a

Santa mailbox with letters going direct to the North Pole. Children can bring a letter from home or create one at the craft tables.

“Children that write letters to Santa that are deposited in the mailbox will be answered by Santa before Christmas,”

said Hayward. “Having Santa sitting in his large red chair inside the nice warm Reach building is going to provide a great photo opportunity for parents. Add in The Happy Wanderers singers and it’s going to be a great experience.”

RETIREMENT. LIVING!

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

Hobbies offer interactions and can even lower stress

Hobbies can benefit people in some interesting ways, so understanding those hidden benefits may compel some people to make more time for their favourite downtime activities.

• Hobbies can foster social connections. In his 2000 book, Bowling Alone, political scientist Robert Putnam described a reduction in in-person social intercourse that once enriched people’s social lives. By making more time for hobbies, particularly those that promote interaction, people can foster social connections that otherwise might never blossom.

• Hobbies can provide health benefits. The American Institute of Stress notes that some hobbies can help people reduce their stress. The institute says there’s been a 51 per cent increase over the last decade in

Hobbies can offer health benefits, including lowering stress levels. the number of women who knit or crochet. That revival is attributed to the stress-reducing properties of knitting and crocheting.

Men and women coping with stress need not learn how to wield a sewing needle to alleviate their stress. Activities that promote slowing down and induce a relaxation response similar to knitting and crocheting can be equally beneficial.

• Hobbies can increase quality time with family.

Parents or grandparents with hobbies can double dip, using the time they would ordinarily spend with their children or grandchildren to teach them some of their favourite hobbies.

Take them along when you go fishing or teach them how to plant flowers and tend to a garden. This is a great way to increase quality time while also affording you a chance to continue engaging in your favourite hobbies.

• Hobbies can improve your efficiency. Penciling more activities into your day planner may not seem like something that will help you create more time for hobbies, but it just might. For example, if you know you have a choir practice, then you might waste less time surfing the internet so you have time for your hobbies of choice.

You’ll like living here!

Early retirement pros and cons

A lifetime of working compels many people to look forward to their retirement. Some people even work to retire early.

But what are the advantages of early retirement beyond starting a life of leisure? And are there any detriments to this plan?

a life free of the constraints of schedules. In retirement, time becomes, more or less, a retiree’s own.

Leaving a job can be a boon to a person’s health as well. Relieving oneself of the pressures and stresses of professional life can free up the mind and body. Stress can affect mental and physical health, taxing the heart and contributing to conditions such as depression or anxiety. According to the Mayo Clinic, stress can cause headache, muscle and chest pain, and contribute to trouble sleeping.

The earlier the retirement, the more opportunity to travel before health issues begin to limit mobility. Early retirement also can be a way to volunteer more or even start a new job opportunity — one where workers have greater control.

Disadvantages One of the disadvan-

tages of early retirement is a loss of income.

Contributions to retirement accounts also ceases at retirement. This can lead to financial setbacks if adequate savings were not allocated for retirement.

According to the resource Wealth How, some people who retire early fear outliving their savings.

While retiring early may be good for health, it also can have negative consequences. An analysis from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that retirement can lead to declines in mental health and mobility as well as feelings of isolation.

Retiring early may jump start these health implications.

Another consideration is that health insurance provided by an employer typically ends at retirement. That means having to pay out of pocket for certain services.

Practice is one of the key strategies to improving completion rates on those always-puzzling crossword puzzles.

Crosswords aren’t just fun, they also help brain health

Crossword puzzles are an integral component of many newspapers and magazines. In addition to their entertainment quality, crossword puzzles can help improve cognition and brain health in individuals of all ages.

The first known crossword puzzle to be published was created by a British journalist named Arthur Wynne, who is often credited as the inventor of crosswords.

The first puzzle appeared in the New York World on Dec. 21, 1913.

The original crossword was diamond-shaped and did not feature the familiar black squares.

Throughout the 1920s, crossword puzzles became a standard offering in many newspapers. During this period, puzzle shapes evolved to the more familiar form, and certain

puzzle standards were established.

Each letter is usually part of both an “across” word and a “down” word, and usually each answer must contain at least three letters. In these puzzles, shaded squares are typically limited to about onesixth of the total.

Everyone wants to improve his or her crossword-puzzling skills.

These tips can help.

• Practice — a lot.

Practice makes perfect, even with crossword puzzles. Start with simple puzzles and work up to the more difficult ones.

• Divide and conquer.

Divide the puzzle into smaller sections and complete each cluster before moving on. It’s easier than completing all of the across or down clues.

• Watch “Jeopardy.”

Puzzles used to be com-

prised largely of definitions, but they now incorporate just about every subject. Improving general knowledge and perhaps watching trivia shows can help with puzzle completion.

• Learn repeat offenders. Over time you may recognize certain words appear in puzzle after puzzle. You’ll soon be able to match the clues to these repeat words.

• Familiarize yourself with multiple word meanings. Remember to think like a puzzle creator, who is probably trying to stump you. The word “flower” may not imply the blooming plant. It may represent something that “flows.”

• Take a break. Taking a few moments to step away from the puzzle before returning to it can clear the mind and make answers more apparent.

Community

Household is in full hygge mode at this time of year

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

University hearing study seeks participants.

I hear the word every time I turn around — or almost, it seems.

The word is hygge. It’s no doubt not one that was recently invented, but it’s only been tossed around lately. “Go Huge with Hygge!” screamed the cover of an interior design magazine I stumbled upon not long ago. “Get Back to the Basics Hygge-Style!” yelled another.

You’ve no doubt heard the word. It’s Danish, and it speaks to coziness, intimacy, togetherness. It’s about slowing down. It’s about wellness and con-

tentment. It’s about appreciating the simple things.

I don’t know how to pronounce it. But I sure know how to put it in place, especially right about now.

Yes, sir. Right about now, we’re smack dab in the middle of Hygge Central Time. Right about now, the more the rain pours and the more the wind roars, the house becomes a hygge nest.

I think I’m a little bit Danish.

I do not need an interior design magazine to tell me what to do. Nor does the husband.

Our work day done, we will discard the office clothes and reach for the sweats. The boots will go in the mud room and the slippers will be retrieved.

The fire will be lit, the wine glasses filled.

The more the rainfall pounds on the windows, the better. Once inside, we stay where we are.

In a hygge household, you have a couple of

dozen fleecy blankets. I think we have 48.

In a hygge household, you have 10 or 20 throw pillows. I think we have 35.

In a hygge household, the candles don’t just sit there. You strike a match to light them, and that’s exactly what we do.

In a hygge household, you go for the edible pleasures at this time of year.

You tend to bypass the hot dogs and the grilled burgers. You make chicken soup. You fill the house with the smell of chili and stew. You pull out the fondue pot before the company comes and eat ‘til it’s almost midnight.

Chocolate? Absolutely. I mean, what says contentment like chocolate?

At this time of year, when we’re weeks away from winter, but when it’s felt like winter for weeks, we hunker down and stoke the fire and embrace the world of hygge.

We’re not about to leave the house — unless we go to Denmark.

Our Annual Christmas Gift Catalog is Here!

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing

loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

Pick up your copy at our store in Vancouver.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away.

In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.

This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 2-4PM

Location: All lands within North Delta, City of Delta Applicant: City of Delta Telephone: 604.946.3395 Proposal: The City of Delta is proposing to amend “The Corporation of Delta Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3950, 1985” by eliminating the North Delta Development Permit Area for Intensive Residential Development (ND14). This amendment would eliminate the requirement for a development permit for form and character of new single detached and duplex dwellings in North Delta, as well as significant additions to existing single detached and duplex dwellings in North Delta.

The elimination of the North Delta Development Permit Area for Intensive Residential Development (ND14) would result in a more streamlined process, including reduced time and fees, and it would be less prescriptive in terms of design. It would also make the process for single detached and duplex residential development in North Delta consistent with other urban areas in the City.

If Council approves the removal of the North Delta Development Permit Area for Intensive Residential Development (ND14), all single detached dwellings and duplexes in North Delta would continue to be regulated by “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017”. “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” applies to all lands within the City of Delta.

“The Corporation of Delta Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3950, 1985” Amendment Bylaw No. 7815 To remove the North Delta Development Permit Area for Intensive Residential Development (ND14) in order to move towards a more streamlined approach to regulating single detached and duplex residential development, which is consistent across all of Delta’s communities.

Another ring for Sun Devil grad Riley Jones wins Grey Cup with Calgary three years after Vanier Cup triumph A Vanier Cup champion in 2015 and now a Grey Cup champion in 2018. Not a bad fouryear run for Riley Jones.

The former South Delta Sun Devils standout put the finishing touches on his second season in the CFL by helping the Calgary Stampeders defeat the Ottawa RedBlacks 27-16 at the 106th Grey Cup played in front of nearly 56,000 fans at a sold out Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Sunday.

Jones delivered one of the game’s key plays too when his downfield punt coverage on Donte Spencer resulted in a forced fumble and set-up a field goal that extended the Stamps lead to 10 points. Spencer had beat two tacklers to turn the corner and looked to have daylight in front of him until Jones’ diving effort.

“If (Spencer) breaks that tackle or gets around Riley, it’s a touchdown and a completely different game,” said Calgary quarterback and Grey Cup MVP Bo Levi Mitchell.

“Riley Jones not only tackled him but got the ball out and gave us a chance to get three points.

“That’s a 10-point swing there. To me, that play by Riley Jones won the game.”

The 25-year-old second-year linebacker came through the South Delta Rams community football program before heading across to street to SDSS where he enjoyed an all-star high school career. It was then onto UBC where helped the Thunderbirds capture the Vanier Cup national championship.

He signed with the Stampeders following an impressive stint at a rookie camp back in May 2017. He appeared in all 18 games this season, recording nine tackles on defence and another 12 on special teams.

“The fact that I’ve only been in the league for two years and I’m playing the Grey Cup for my second time is pretty awesome. I’m pretty fortunate, I’m lucky that Calgary picked me up,” said Jones.

I couldn’t ask to be with a better organization and with a better group of guys. I’m just blessed and grateful that I’m here for the second time in a row, because I know there are guys that have never had the opportunity to

play in a championship game. It’s been a lot of hard work to get here, though.The season is a long time, especially when you add pre-season games and getting all the way to the Grey Cup – it’s 22 or 23 games.”

McDonald & Kraft named to provincial all-stars A pair of South Delta Sun Devils have been named to B.C. High School Football’s 2018 Subway Provincial “AAA” All-Star Team.

Grade 11 Ben McDonald got the nod at quarterback thanks for leading the province in passing with 1,717 yards in seven starts.

He also threw for 16 touchdowns.

He is joined by Grade 12 defensive lineman Andrew Kraft who recorded 38 tackles and three quarterback sacks despite being double-teamed much the season.

Pacers make a splash at provincial championships

The Delta Pacers swim team wrapped up another successful season at last weekend’s B.C. Secondary Schools Championships at Watermania.

The journey to Richmond got off to a bit of a bumpy start at the Fraser South Regional Championships at the Surrey Sport and Leisure Complex. Just a few heats into the meet, a power outage, caused by a nearby traffic accident, brought the competition to an abrupt halt.

Participants were moved into the adjacent ice rink and the meet was eventually postponed.

Two weeks later, 52 teams returned to the same pool and this time there were no

disruptions. The Pacers finished eighth overall and qualified 13 relay teams for provincials.

Five of those teams advanced past the preliminary heats and onto the finals.

Leading the way was the girls’ 400-metre freestyle relay team of Samantha Cates, Kiana Sato-Klemm, Caterina Rizzo, and Jeanelle Thomas with a 10th place finish.

Keily Hutt’s speedy swim in the preliminaries helped to secure their spot in the finals.

The top result for the boys was the 11th place finish in the 200-metre medley relay, the team consisting of Tristan Morlet, Michael Omstead, Kalvin Windrum, and Jordan Cates.

Shorthanded Hawks hang tough with Wolf Pack MARK BOOTH

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

Given the state of the Delta Ice Hawks’ active roster these days, taking four of a possible six points from three of the other top teams in the Pacific Junior Hockey League was no small feat.

The Hawks (16-5-2-2) closed out the challenging stretch with a 3-2 overtime loss to the league-leading North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Tuesday night.

The result snapped a seven game unbeaten streak while the high-flying Wolf Pack (23-4-0-0) have now won 10 straight.

Delta entered the tilt without three injured regular d-men — Callum McDonald, Ryan Bailey and Marcus Sihota. The club was also informed second-year converted blueliner Nathan Pelletier has opted to step away from junior hockey to focus on school and his music career.

This development came at the same time reigning PJHL rookie-of-the-year and top five league scorer Jason Rees had accepted an opportunity to play for the Yarmouth Mariners of the Maritime Junior “A” Hockey League in Nova Scotia.

Hawks GM and head coach Steve Robinson was in scrambling mode to put together a line-up to try and slow down the Wolf Pack. His blueline included third-year forward Mark Epshtein while seasoned affiliate Thomas Garey logged loads of ice time.

Recently acquired Dario Esposito was promoted to one of the team’s top two

lines — playing in Rees’ former spot between captain Jordan Deyremnjian and Jordin Kojima.

“Obviously the guys weren’t happy to learn we had lost one of the top players in the league at this time of the season but we aren’t going to hold anyone back from opportunities like that either,” said Robinson. “This is a chance for other guys to step up and I think Esposito has the talent to fill that role if he plays up to his potential.”

Robinson added he isn’t burning up the phone line right now seeking additional players.

McDonald and Bailey should be back in the line-up for Tuesday’s game against Mission. He does however have two open player cards to use between now and the league roster deadline in early January.

The Hawks looked to be on their way to a regulation loss to the Wolf Pack when an apparent insurance goal with three minutes remaining was wiped out on a interference penalty. That set the stage for Alex Suprynowicz to notch his leagueleading 23rd goal on the power play.

It was also a man advantage that resulted in the game winner from Jacob Callas as he wired his point shot over the right shoulder of Hawks goalie Jordy Engelson.

Delta also needed some late heroics to salvage a 3-3 tie with the Richmond Sockeyes last Thursday. D-man Liam Visram scored with 2:08 remaining as his team battled back from a 2-0 first period deficit.

A trio of local high school volleyball teams are winding up their season this week at their respective provincial tournaments.

The Delta Pacers are seeded seventh at the 20-team B.C. “AAA” Boys Championships which got underway Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre.

The Ladner school had “power pool” games yesterday against No. 5 Oak Bay, No. 6 Mt. Baker and No. 8 Mt. Boucherie to determine it round of 16 opponent on Thursday when championship play gets underway.

Head coach Andrew Robson’s squad has been a fixture in the top 10 rankings all season and finished second in the recent Fraser Valley playoffs — falling to top ranked Earl Marriott in the final.

The Pacers will be taking aim at the very least cracking the top eight which didn’t happen a year ago as the No. 4 seed was upset in the round of 16.

Meanwhile, the South Delta Sun Devils are continuing their

string of provincial tournament appearances at the “AAAA” Championships in Penticton.

Dan Burgess’ senior girls team enters the 20-school event as lower seed underdog after placing sixth in the Fraser Valley Championships. South Delta has shown flashes of potential during the course of the season and the core of this group finished second at the junior provincials two years ago.

Seeded 15th, South Delta were slated to face No. 3 Earl Marriott, No. 7 Kelowna, No. 11 Handsworth and No. 19 Claremont in pool play — looking to nail down a berth in the championship round.

In Nanaimo, the Southpointe Academy Titans are making their second straight appearance at the B.C. “A” Girls Championships.

The Titans are in a pool group that includes Elkford, Vernon Christian, Campbell River Christian and Ecole Jules-Verne.

Southpointe secured its trip to the Island with a third place finish in the Fraser Valley Tournament.

All three provincial championships will conclude on Saturday.

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.

Betty passed away unexpectedly on November 17, 2018, with her daughters by her side. Betty was a warm, loving, generous person and was always ready with kind, encouraging words and support.

Along with her family and friends, travel was a big part of Betty’s life. A six-month trip to Europe while in her twenties was only the beginning of a lifetime of world excursions. In the past few months alone, she enjoyed trips to Haida Gwaii, Alaska and Mexico.

Never one to sit idle, Betty enjoyed reading, knitting and especially, sewing. She created hundreds of baby quilts, finishing her last three quilts, in preparation for upcoming Christmas craft fairs, on the day before she went into hospital. Betty has been a blessing in the lives of her family and in the lives of many of those who knew her.

Betty is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Laura (Robert), Diane (Mark), Jo-anne (Ben), sonin-law, Eberhardt, and grandchildren Ashley (Tyler), Joshua, Jackson, Sarah, Bryan, Andrew, Wesley, and Markus. Betty also leaves behind her first great-grandchild, Emma. It was a joyous occasion for Betty when she first held Emma in her arms.

She was predeceased by her loving husband of 59 years, Jack, and daughter Susanne. Betty had a strong and abiding faith in the Lord, and is with Him now. She will be truly missed, but forever cherished in our hearts.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, December 8, 2018 at the Tsawwassen Alliance Church, 4951-12th Avenue, Delta, B.C. at 11:00 a.m., with a reception to follow.
