Crossing timeline concern Delta Mayor George Harvie says waiting until 2030 or later is unacceptable 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
Just how long will it take to get a new crossing between Delta and Richmond now that the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project is dead? According to Delta Mayor George Harvie, the new timeline appears to have a new crossing ready by 2030 at the earliest, eight years after a 10-lane bridge would have been completed. Harvie took part in a conference call with Transportation Minister Claire Trevena recently, reiterating his concern over that timeline. “My number one priority is to get the mayors of Surrey, White Rock, Richmond and myself together, along with the Tsawwassen First Nation and the Musqueam, to talk. The sooner that we can put a united voice together, the sooner we can get it back to the province,” he said. Harvie noted aside from a process that will occur even after the province

Now that the 10-lane bridge project initiatied by the former Liberal government is dead, planning must begin on an alternative. comes up with a business case for a preferred option in late 2020, everything will be drawn out even longer if a federal environmental review is required. That would happen if another smaller bridge is proposed and its supports go into the Fraser River, or if another tunnel is chosen.
“I am worried because, the way I look at it now, it’s at least 2030. If the option that the province looks at includes touching the river, it can even go past that. So, we’ll be working with both Metro Vancouver and the Mayors’ Council and I’m very pleased that the members of Metro
Vancouver and the Mayors’ Council that talked on the phone all agreed something has to be done. My position is that this timeline is unacceptable to myself and the people of Delta.” The province last month confirmed the bridge project initiated by the previous Liberal government
won’t be moving ahead. Consultant Stan Cowdell’s report concluded a 10-lane bridge was not the best way to go, suggesting options could include a six- or eight-lane bridge or an eight-lane tunnel. The existing tunnel could also remain. There will be interim upgrades to the tunnel.
Dead python found on banks of Ladner slough 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
Those thinking it would be a great idea to have an exotic pet such as a big snake should do their research and seriously consider the consequences for the animal. That’s the warning from Delta Community Animal Shelter following the reported discovery of a dead ball python along a slough in Ladner last weekend. Mercedes Gelech posted on the Ladner’s Landing Facebook page a couple of grim photos of what appeared to be a large dead python on the rocks in the brush behind her parents’ house. The immediate speculation was that it could have been the snake reported missing last June. Delta police at the time were informed that a sixfoot ball python named “Gypsy” went missing in a farmer’s field, but officers
did not have an exact location where the snake was last seen. Officers were in contact earlier with the owner when a man was reported to be sleeping outside the Walmart at Tsawwassen Commons with a large snake. Upon police request, the man and snake relocated to their nearby minivan. Police noted that ball pythons are not venomous, and apparently are a popular choice for those wanting a pet snake as they are known to have more of a docile temperament. The type of snake is known to curl up in a ball when stressed or frightened. In the wild, their diet is primarily small mammals such as rats, mice and birds. Delta Community Animal Shelter manager Ryan Voutilainen told the Optimist someone had reportedly removed the snake carcass and staff are

A post on the Ladner’s Landing Facebook page last weekend showed a ball python carcass that could be the snake that went missing last summer. trying to reach out to that individual through social
media. Noting the whereabouts
of the snake owner from last summer is unknown, Voutilainen said there’s no way of confirming if the snake discovered last weekend is the same one that went missing last year. “All you have to do is look at incidents where these types of exotic animals have gotten loose and end up in situations where they are suffering out there. They’re not native to here and once you get into this time of year, they will succumb to the elements. It’s a bad way for them to die and there’s not even necessarily enough of a food supply for them either,” said Voutilainen. “The big message is if you are bringing these animals in your home, you strongly consider the welfare of that animal and if you are able to meet that animal’s needs and what you’re able to do if you’re in a position where you’re not able to care for it anymore.”

Red Nose numbers drop again due to shortage of volunteers 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
Despite a drop in volunteers, rides and donations, the 17th edition of Operation Red Nose is still being deemed a success. Organized once again in Delta/Richmond by the Delta Gymnastics Society, and supported by its provincial sponsor ICBC, Operation Red Nose provided 355 rides, raising $12,627 during the nine nights the service was operated over the holiday season. In total, 210 volunteer drivers took part, including 70 teams. Last year there was 367 rides, 247 volunteers and 87 teams which raised $12,834 for the society. “This year was particularly difficult for volunteers,” said Operation Red Nose Delta/Richmond coordinator Ellyn Schriber.
“We had less teams and where we would have typically teams of three we had more teams of two. That impacted us on New Year’s Eve for sure.” Numbers provided by Schriber show a steady decline in volunteers and the number of rides over the last five years. In 2014, for example, there were 614 rides, 427 volunteers and 129 teams, which helped raise close to $19,000. “So this is not a new trend, but certainly a concerning one for sure,” she said. “It’s hard to say why, but it’s probably the same for a lot of volunteer organizations, our community volunteers skew older and are aging out from doing this. We are not having as many young volunteers come in. We did have some students from the Justice Institute, which
was awesome, but other than that, I think people are getting older and it’s taxing on them.” In order for the gym club to continue operating the program, Schriber said the community has to think more about volunteering. “We need to reach out more, especially to the younger demographic,” she said. “A service like this is not always top of mind in young people, but it is a way to give back to the community.” Operation Red Nose completed its 35th year across Canada and 23rd in B.C. where it was offered in 11 communities. In B.C., 3,166 volunteers braved various winter conditions to safely drive home 5,204 motorists, while across Canada, that number was more than 73,000.
Delta renews call for pedestrian overpass next to shopping mall 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 do something about a busy intersection adjacent to Tsawwassen Mills before someone is killed, says Mayor George Harvie, who plans to renew the push for a pedestrian overpass at 52nd Street and Highway 17. “We’ve been asking for that for a long time and, unfortunately, it wasn’t deemed necessary and that’s absolutely unacceptable,” Harvie told the Optimist in a recent interview. Noting it’s also “shameful” for TransLink not to provide a shelter for Tsawwassen residents and mall employees at the bus stop across the mall, Harvie said it’s something he’ll be pushing for once again with Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Bryce Williams. “I’ll be talking to the minister of transportation because this is a provincial highway… the province is making substantial revenue off the
SUBMITTED IMAGE
Delta used drone footage to impress upon the province the situation pedestrians face at Highway 17 and 52nd Street. Tsawwassen First Nation’s malls, provincial sales tax, and when you look at all that revenue, they can’t provide something back to the community that is affected by their Highway 17? That’s not fair.” Things had gone quiet for a couple of years on Delta’s request for the province after former Liberal transportation minister Todd Stone suggested a pedestrian overpass, estimated to cost roughly $5 million, offered no significant benefit and was not justified.
“The current intersection improvements, like similar intersections within the Lower Mainland, provide adequate accommodation for pedestrians and cyclists,” a provincial report concluded. According to Delta’s engineering department, that conclusion was incorrect. Delta says pedestrians have to traverse a 40-metre crosswalk across seven lanes of traffic and two additional turning lanes beyond the pedestrian refuge islands. Pedestrians trying to cross
at night are placed at even further risk, while ferry traffic exacerbates the situation. The engineering department also used drone footage of pedestrians trying to cross, showing one shocking footage of a person deciding to take a risky run across the highway. Delta police Chief Neil Dubord also supports an overpass, telling Delta council the length of the intersection combined with the speed of traffic makes it difficult for pedestrians to cross.

Music instructor killed in Richmond crash
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 music community is mourning the loss of one of its own. The Delta Community Music School confirmed on Facebook late Tuesday night the tragic loss of its voice instructor Natasha D’Agostino, who was killed in a car accident in the early morning hours of Jan. 6 on Highway 99 in Richmond. “It is with heavy hearts that we inform the Delta Community Music School community of the passing of our voice instructor Natasha D’Agostino. Her family is devastated, as are we all,” said the Facebook post. A private service is being planned for the family with a celebration of life to follow. According to Sgt. Lorne Lecker with RCMP Deas Island Traffic Services, officers attended a single-vehicle collision on Highway 99 just north of Steveston Highway around 1 a.m. The accident was initially discovered by highway mainte-
nance workers. Officers determined that a northbound vehicle with a lone female occupant left the roadway, collided with a highway sign and landed upside down and partially submerged in the water-filled ditch adjacent to the highway. Lecker said there is no indication another vehicle was involved. It was raining heavily at the time of the crash and road/weather conditions as well as driver experience are being considered as possible factors in the crash, he said. “Clearly in weather such as that, weather will always be a contributing factor, but we don’t know if it was the decisive factor,” Lecker said. “We are not ruling anything out. We don’t believe she had contact with another vehicle before she left the road, so that is why we are appealing to the public to come forward if they saw anything.” Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP Deas Island Traffic Services at 778-290-2400.

Legion fighting to stay relevant
On the verge of closure over a year ago, Tsawwassen branch still facing an uphill battle 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
Located in a commercial complex on 56th Street, the Tsawwassen Legion has been around for a quarter century, but has had a tough go the past several years due to a declining membership and volunteer base. Things got to the point where the branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, despite continuing to be a strong fundraiser for local organizations, was looking at closing its doors for good in late 2017 before an anonymous donor stepped forward and provided enough for it to stay afloat for a while longer. It’s been more than a year since that lifeline and the Tsawwassen Legion continues its battle to stay relevant. “The bar is bringing in revenue but we’d like more people to come down and check us out. It’s certainly a good place to hang out,” said former president Gary Bain in a recent interview. What the Tsawwassen branch has experienced isn’t unique as Royal Canadian Legion branches across the country face the consequences of an aging membership. Many have closed their doors because Royal Canadian Legion membership is reportedly half what it was 30 years ago. More than half of those who remain are over 65, something Bain noted has to change. Another challenge is that older members and
volunteers who frequented the Tsawwassen branch have moved away, cashing in the equity in their single-family homes and downsizing in other communities, explained Bain. Legions tried to adapt by making their memberships and facilities open to the public, but Bain explained it’s important they not be seen as just an old person’s club. The added strain for the Tsawwassen Legion is that it doesn’t own its own premises, having to rent its facility in Century Square. “We continue to struggle financially each month to maintain our not-for-profit premises, with the bulk of our net revenue consumed by the substantial commercial rent to Century Group. We depend heavily on the volunteer efforts of our members and executive for the daily operations of the branch,” Bain wrote in a letter to the city as part of the Legion’s annual request for tax exemption. Now closed Mondays and Tuesdays as a costcutting measure, the Tsawwassen branch a few years ago added a stage and top-notch sound system, which makes it the best music venue in Delta and has helped attract crowds wanting to see various acts. However, it needs to do more to bring in a younger crowd, said Bain. The recent addition of equipment to provide a well-functioning kitchen should help, but now it’s a

The Tsawwassen Legion, which has been around for a quarter century, is suffering from an aging membership like many other branches across the country. matter of finding enough volunteers to work it more often, he added. Excited about the potential of the venue, new president Bill Belsey said it’s not doom and gloom for the branch as it explores new ideas. He said it’s important for the Tsawwassen Legion to market itself and get the word out how it’s a great place to have some fun, something a little different, even considered cool, than the usual bars. “We’ve looked at things like the punk band which does a great job bringing the younger crowd in. We make that a special occasion because we allow them to bring the kids in, so we make sure we have food available to meet the liquor regulations. We have a band from each high school who have come in and played that
stage and they just love it. So, you have to build on those kinds of arrangements and it’s a real challenge. I don’t think there’s any one magic solution,” said Belsey. “You know, for the size of this place, the stage that we’ve got, the seating capacity, you’d have to go into Richmond to find this kind of facility. We’ve got bands wanting to come in and some of them have a really good following. One band that came in, it was just nuts in here. It brings in a different crowd and that’s what we need,” he added. Belsey admitted the Legion probably didn’t have the vision or promotional zeal it should have had such as doing something as simple as selling bottles of wine, which it does now. Noting they’ve got the
cheapest beer in town, which is just one reason to come by, Belsey said they’re looking at a few other promotions and ideas, including having more local organizations and clubs use the venue as a gathering place, to encourage more people to check it out as well as sign up as members. Also important, not only for the Tsawwassen branch but other branches across the province and country, is to keep in touch with each other and share ideas, he said. Belsey noted the Tsawwassen Legion has still managed to raise well over $200,000 over the past five years for various charities and groups, ranging from the Delta Hospital Foundation to the Delta Police Pipe Band. Legion regulations prevent the branch from using any
proceeds from gaming activities or the annual poopy drive toward operational costs. While the Tsawwassen branch looks to give itself a boost, things are going swimmingly for the Ladner Legion, located on Delta Street in Ladner Village, which celebrated its 90th anniversary last year. Having around 1,000 members, Branch 61 has been around so long it’s become not only an important part of the community but also engrained within local families with generations old and young being members, said president Al Ridgway. The Ladner Legion, which received a Longterm Contribution Award from the City of Delta, is very much out there in the community, Ridgway said. “We’re pretty lucky with our location and we have a lot of dedicated volunteers, but we’ve also always had an open door and we’ve tried to adapt as much as we can,” he added. As far as the Tsawwassen Legion, it’s looking for anyone interested in volunteering or becoming a member, but also encourages people just to come down and have a drink in a relaxed atmosphere, said Belsey.

Nothing could wipe the smile off Insp. Jim McCardell’s face last week as his daughter joined the ranks of the Vancouver Police Department. “It was unbelievable,” he told the Vancouver Courier after his daughter, Tsawwassen resident and South Delta Secondary grad Madison McCardell, was sworn in along with 18 of the newest members of the department. Madison is now the third generation of the McCardell family to serve with VPD. Her father, who currently oversees the department’s emergency response team, K9 unit and negotiators, is a 33-year veteran of the force. His father, Percy McCardell, also served with VPD, retiring as a staff sergeant in 1972 after 33 years. “We’ll be closing in on 100 (years) once she retires in 2050, I guess,” said Jim. Madison started thinking about following in her father’s and grandfather’s

Okanagan and after graduating with a bachelor of arts in human kinetics was hired by VPD as a special constable in 2017 and started working at the jail. She said the experience working in the jail helped confirm she wanted to go into policing, something that had always been a part of her life.
“I grew up with the police department,” she said. “I went to events, I went to Christmas parties, a lot of our family friends are respected police officers, so it’s just being around the environment and working in the jail… that kind of pushed me in the right direction. It just helped reassure me that
this is what I wanted to do.” Things have changed since her grandfather Percy joined the VPD during the Second World War. “He told me stories growing up and he said when he got hired, which was of course during the war, they gave him a billy club and a gun and he was
in a suit and they said you need to walk from here to here on Fraser Street and that’s how you started,” Jim said. “Things have changed a lot, they really support these kids with lots of training.” There was also another South Delta connection to this year’s recruit class. Const. Edward Saxton was born in Germany and grew up in England until the age of 14. He immigrated to Canada with his family in 2004. After graduating from SDSS, he worked in the grocery and hotel industries and took opportunities to travel the world. In 2013, he graduated from BCIT with an electronics certificate and joined the Canadian Armed Forces. After basic training he was posted to construction engineering in Comox. He served one tour of duty in Kuwait, and another in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The new recruits will now spend most of the rest of the year in training at the Justice Institute of B.C. before hitting the streets of Vancouver.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY
ould 2019 go down as the year that mayors who rarely use the George Massey Tunnel decide what its replacement will look like? Or maybe that fateful decision won’t come until 2020 in a nod to those who will one day be able to look back on the contentious project with the benefit of a hindsight. Whatever the timeline, it’s more than a little disconcerting that a group of regional politicians that hasn’t shown a whole lot of love for the idea of a new Fraser River crossing is going to play a pivotal role in determining the scope it will eventually take. To be fair, the Mayors’ Council took on a new look following last fall’s civic elections, but it’s hard to believe the territorial approach where members look out for their own interests is going to change significantly going forward. It stands to reason the bigger the crossing, the more money it would cost, which theoretically means there would be less to spend elsewhere in the region. We’ve already been told by a NDP-hired consultant that the 10-lane bridge project initiated by the former Liberal government is too big and that we should consider six- or eight-lane options, either a bridge or another tunnel. Even though the price might be attractive, it would be absolutely ludicrous to spend tax dollars on a six-lane crossing given we require a minimum of four lanes going with the rush today, let alone in the decades to come. Unless some form of rapid transit suddenly becomes more than a pipe dream for the Highway 99 corridor, six lanes simply isn’t going to cut it so it shouldn’t even be on the table. If 10 is too many and six is, hopefully, considered insufficient, it stands to reason that a difference-splitting eightlane span is where this is going to end up, so rather than taking almost two years to compile a business case, let’s get things going much sooner. Delta Mayor George Harvie has already questioned the provincial government’s timeline and is worried that a new crossing, particularly if a federal environmental review is required, could be as far away as 2030. That’s not acceptable and it’s laughable given this process started back in 2013. It’s one thing for the NDP to put its stamp on this project, but foot dragging isn’t necessary.
New social contract is needed to outline rights of individuals
A
s everyone falls back into their routine after the holiday season, it is a good time to consider what has passed and what is coming in 2019. For better or worse, many of the uncertainties and transitions of 2018 have resolved themselves with the municipal election, the NDP/Green decision on the George Massey Tunnel, and the passing of cannabis legalization. However, new questions present themselves in year to come with a federal election, an unstable provincial government and our neighbours to the south teetering on the brink of new national emergencies by the day. Unfortunately, there is the shadow of an overarching narrative that carries through from last year to this one that I find particularly disturbing. It encompasses the Canada Post back-towork legislation, the arrests at the Wet’suwet’en LNG blockade and the Yellow Vests protest in France. My intuition is this: society is shifting towards upholding institutional power over individual freedom and people aren’t happy about it. These events, when considered together, appear to represent the formation of a trend and a reaction to it. In the Canada Post scenario, 50,000 government employees had their right to free collective bargaining violated by a back-to-work order during a
Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG
strike. The action was justified as “protecting the public interest” even though the courts ruled that a similar action in 2011 was “unconstitutional.” In the end, postal employees find themselves back at the bargaining table with the knowledge they are unable to meaningfully threaten a strike. In northern BC, the Wet’suwet’en situation is currently unfolding where the RCMP has broken their blockade and arrested 14 LNG pipeline protesters. While one of the associated companies, Coastal GasLink, claims to have signed agreements with 100 per cent of elected indigenous bands along the pipeline, the Wet’suwet’en maintain they have never signed colonial treaties and that Canada is violating Wet’suwet’en law, Canadian law and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The RCMP and Canadian government
sided with the corporations. Across the Atlantic in France, the Yellow Vests movement has arisen as a response to rising costs of living and perceived inequality. Similar to the occupy movement, their demands span from lower taxes and an increase to the minimum wage to resignation of French President Emmanuel Macron. These protests have devolved into riots that were described as the most violent in 50 years. These events highlight what appears to be a societal transition in which the rights of individuals are secondary to the presumed general good. The problem with this strategy is that suffering is an individual act that can never be addressed by benefitting the group. What is worse is that individuals who are subject to suffering or undue hardship come together in a unified force often lacking sufficient rationale or a plan of action beyond tearing down the walls of oppression. This is where the devolution into violence emerges. The solution lies in dialogue, free speech and a new social contract outlining the responsibilities and rights of individuals. Community advocate Nicholas Wong ran as an independent candidate in Delta South in the 2017 provincial election. He finished second with more than 6,400 votes.

Development limit might have been reached in Tsawwassen
Editor: Re: Tunnel was big change, Murphy’s Law, Jan. 3 I entirely agree with your editorial. Suppose, however, there had been some absolute ban on Tsawwassen housing development. The only properties available for purchase would have been those vacated by people moving away or dying and Tsawwassen would have remained an idyllic, somewhat impractical place to live, like Bowen Island today. There was no such ban; development did go in; Tsawwassen — for better or worse — is what it is. This in no way invali-
dates the idea there is a limit to responsible development, which may have been reached or exceeded. Hidden in an appendix to the traffic study that was done for the Southlands development are the words: “Volume exceeds capacity. Queue length theoretically infinite” applied to several intersections along 56th Street, indicating a dysfunctional traffic system caused in part by the Southlands development. The study does not take construction traffic into account, makes no allowance for the long-term increase in motor vehicles per head of population and does not even envi-
sion the redevelopment of Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. The question has to be asked: Is further development in the best interests of the community? Increasingly, the answer is: No. What’s getting people riled up is not some vague nostalgia, but the perception that the interests of developers come first with Delta council, the interests of the community a bad last. Council rammed the Southlands development through against vehement public opposition; the casino hearing was a farce; it remains to be seen what happens with the Town Centre Mall. Tom Morrison
Liberals have nerve accusing NDP of delays
Editor: The B.C. Liberals have only themselves to blame for the delay in a new George Massey crossing. They hoodwinked the public with a bogus process and an oversized, overpriced bridge. The Liberals and Delta council used scare tactics and warned of catastrophic failure of the tunnel. They claimed that a retrofit of the existing tunnel was not technically feasible and cancelled a second phase of ground improvement retrofit of the tunnel.
The recent independent review, commissioned by the NDP, confirms that seismically retrofitting the tunnel is technically feasible and recommends improvements to lighting, safety and mechanical improvements. The review found that another immersed tube tunnel is feasible and may result in cost savings in comparison to a new bridge, especially if the existing tunnel is upgraded as well. This could have been initiated 10 years ago if the B.C. Liberals hadn’t cancelled ongoing plans
for the tunnel and regional transportation corridors. Out of the blue, the Liberals claimed the tunnel had to be removed and a massive bridge was needed. They called it the “George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project” without any evidence the tunnel needed to be removed. They buried reports and ignored new technology being used in similar projects globally. They have a nerve accusing the NDP of delays when they are the culprits. Susan Jones

Stop whining and be grateful for Tsawwassen
Editor: Tsawwassen is fat with NIMBYs. Oh the dozen stoplights on 56th Street with one or two more to come. Oh the 1,000 new Spetifore units. Oh TFN. Oh gawd. My family and I have lived here since 1997. In that time the population has grown by maybe 1,000 — we’re now just inching up on 22,000 souls. If each unit at Southlands coughs up 3.75 bodies, that’s an additional 3,750 people, total. Compare to Morgan Creek or Cloverdale or the
City of White Rock. TFN for its part is an island unto itself. Same as Hampton Cove on the slough or East Ladner. Then there’s breathing room, literally and figuratively. Skeptics will surely challenge the math, but by my last calculus during the Southlands public hearing marathon — with Centennial Beach parkland plus the protected Southlands working farm spaces — my count shows an eight-to-one ratio of hundreds of hectares of landlocked greenspace in
Boundary Bay to residential development. Sound like White Rock, Morgan Creek, Cloverdale, even Ladner Village? Then add in the countless square kilometres of sand at low tide. Please, people, give the head a shake to get rid of your New Year’s whine vapours and their self-induced hangover. Time to cheer your good fortune — Once! Twice! Thrice! — to be able to claim Tsawwassen as your home. Wm Baird Blackstone
Try free public transit to see how many would switch
Editor: The George Massey Tunnel replacement project (bridge or expanded tunnel) is too far off to help with the current traffic situation, which has been torture for drivers and bad for the environment. The bottom line is we
need to change behaviour patterns now because there are simply too many vehicles for the current infrastructure throughout the Lower Mainland. Why not fund free public transit to get cars off the road? If enough people made the switch, the domino effect could be a
paradigm shift. A trial period of a year should be sufficient to see if it makes a significant difference that could help identify the infrastructure needed for the future. It’s a solution for both the shortand long-term. Money well spent, I think. Janice Wasik

Sampson is an adorable five year old, miniature pinscher mix with a personality bigger than he is. This little sweetheart loves to love! His favorite activity is to bury himself underneath blankets and snuggle with you! Sampson is a warm weather guy who loves suntanning and currently refuses to walk in the rain. On sunny days he will walk anywhere from 15 minutes to up to an hour if you take it a little bit slower at times. When it rains he is more than happy to play tug of war or fetch indoors. He is polite to other dogs, and enjoys walking in a pack. Sampson would be good with another gentle dog, since he can be easily toppled over. Sampson’s foster mom works from home, so Sampson hasn’t been left alone much. She says he doesn’t like being left alone for long periods of time, but doesn’t have destructive separation anxiety. He does need to be let out about every four hours or he pees inside, so we are thinking a family where someone is home the majority of the time is ideal for him. You may also notice Sampson’s wee “flipper feet”, which we are told is a birth defect. Several vets confirmed his legs give him no discomfort and Sampson gets along just fine! He also has a dry eye condition and would like his new human to apply inexpensive lubricating drops! As with all our dogs, he is neutered and up to date on all shots and vaccines! This little gent would be perfect for a retired person looking for a mellow snuggle buddy. Email us at pbandchi@gmail.com if you think Sampson would be a good match for you!

A Tsawwassen educator and human rights crusader will soon receive a civil courage award. Mary Kitagawa will be presented with the 2019 Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Award by the Vancouver-based Wallenberg-Sugihara Civil Courage Society on Jan. 20. The award is given annually to an individual associated with B.C. who at significant personal risk helped to improve the lives of others while defying unjust laws or norms, past or present. Kitagawa raised awareness of the injustices suffered by JapaneseCanadian students during the Second World War. Her fight against discrimination resulted in the
Canadians to act with courage and live by their moral values. This year’s event at the MacMillan Space Centre in Vancouver will also include a screening of the feature film The War Between Us, which dramatizes the interaction between Japanese internees and their neighbours in the B.C. interior during the Second World War. The WallenbergSugihara Civil Courage Society was formed by members of the Swedish Community, including the Honourary Swedish Consul, the Jewish community and others. This is the second major award presented to Kitagawa in the past few months. Last August she was one of 14 exceptional civic leaders who received the Order of B.C.

Tsawwassen teen takes leading role at B.C. Youth Parliament IAN JACQUES

The 90th session of the B.C. Youth Parliament recently concluded in Victoria with a strong mandate of community service. Tsawwassen’s Hannah Burnett, a fourth year BCYP member, served as deputy leader of the Opposition. “I helped the leader of the opposition in everything they do, organizing the shadow cabinet and I was also critic of Regional Youth Parliament,” she said. “They are smaller versions of the BCYP that are spread throughout the region for kids who are high school age and it’s a great way to educate them on Parliament and get them involved.” Burnett, who gradu-
ated from South Delta Secondary, was introduced to the BCYP at a young age and both her parents went to BCYP. “When I joined my first year I learned a lot and just decided I wanted to continue doing this for as long as I could,” she said. During the past three years she said she has grown in her roles at BCYP. “My first couple of years I didn’t talk that much in the House, but this year I was able to really stand up and put forward my ideas,” she said. “It can be a scary thing because there are strict procedures, so getting comfortable with that takes time. With a bigger role such as deputy leader of the Opposition also allowed me to stand up and be more vocal.” BCYP forms a non-partisan government during
its session, held Dec. 27 to 31, yet just as MLAs do, Burnett and her colleagues take the legislation they pass back to their communities to make a difference throughout the province. In accordance with their motto, “youth serving youth,” the legislation and private members’ bills they pass will be turned into action. All that is debated in the House is written by members, and will lay out a plan for the organization’s activities throughout the year. During the session members passed resolutions to expand the B.C. high school curriculum, bring ride sharing to B.C. and reduce food waste at grocery stores. “The social service aspect of the organization is what really excites me more than the politi-
Saturday, January 12
cal side,” Burnett said. “This week is important, but throughout the year you are expected to be involved in a number of fundraisers, social activities and service projects.” Besides the session in Victoria, BCYP members will hold six regional youth parliaments for highschool aged youth to learn parliamentary procedure, as well as running a summer camp, Camp Phoenix, for children who would not otherwise be able to attend camp. Celebrating its 51st year, Camp Phoenix is completely staffed by the members of BCYP and funded through their fundraising efforts. “Camp Phoenix is a very rewarding opportunity to be involved in. I really enjoy that aspect of service and giving back to the community,” Burnett said.

The transformative activity inherent in the gospel message is truly life giving to those who believe and seek to live out of that centre. There is always a new insight or deeper grasp of awareness as we reflect on the scripture passages that we may have heard before. It also helps to read the reflections of other thoughtful people of faith so that our insights can be expanded, enhanced or even challenged. May this year be productive and fruitful in your spiritual discernment.

The beginning of a new year with all the hope and possibility that lies before us is always an adventure. It is a time to look back over the past year recognizing the highs and lows of our choices and decisions, look ahead with anticipation of new opportunities, and look inward to check or perhaps rekindle that spirit that motivates us. May you be well in these endeavours. One thing that catches my attention anew each year is the affirmation through the richness and depth of our faith story in scripture. To read and hear the witness of the unfolding experience of God’s light breaking into the lives

New cast for Sidekick favourite
Theatre company marks suffrage milestone by reprising The Fighting Days 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 Sidekick Players Club will be shining a spotlight on Canada’s role in the suffragist movement in the second production of its 22nd season. Sidekick presents The Fighting Days by Wendy Lill at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre from Jan. 17 to Feb. 2. Directed by Carroll Lefebvre, the production follows journalist and activist Francis Marion Beynon during her years in Winnipeg where she becomes involved with the Votes-for-Women movement and Nellie McClung. The story takes place in Winnipeg from 1910 to 1917. When the play opens, Beynon is on her way to Winnipeg, leaving behind a sheltered and religious rural childhood. Soon after she arrives she meets McClung and becomes involved in the Votes-forWomen movement. She also begins work as the women’s page editor for The Rural Review, airing her controversial political views on the editorial page. Suddenly, Canada is involved in the First World

War, and the conscription crisis divides the suffragists: Should all women have the vote or just Dominion-born women who are sending their husbands and sons off to battle? Should women use their votes to push for conscription or to lobby for a swift end to the war? A play about the polarities of public and private lives, and about issues
of racism and pacifism within the women’s movement, The Fighting Days deals with timeless moral concerns. “This was our third production ever a long time ago and we decided to do it last year because it was the 100th anniversary of the suffragists movement, but some issues came up and we were not able to produce it, so we
held it over to this year,” said Lefebvre. “But we are happy to have it on tap for this season and it, of course, fits very well into our season of all-Canadian productions.” Lefebvre said there are three main female actors in the production and a male character who is the editor of the newspaper where Beynon worked. “They are all new peo-
ple, except for one, which is neat and one from Point Roberts,” she said. “They are also young, but they are excellent. They have all become very interested in all of this because they are young they didn’t realize or learn about this history, so they all have become almost experts on suffragists, which is kind of cool.” The cast includes Mackenzie Dobb as Frances Marion Beynon, Dani-Rose Coates as Lillian Beynon, Claire Minns as Nellie McClung, Scott Wood as George McNair and Brenda DeJong and Sharlene Terrett as Prairie Women. She said casting for the production began in late October once the first production of the season, Burn, wrapped up. “There hasn’t been a lot of time and then you factor in the two-week Christmas break, so it’s been like on a treadmill since Jan. 3, but we’re excited to get this on stage,” Lefebvre said. Performances take place Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. on Jan. 20 and 27. Tickets can be reserved by calling 604-288-2415. The Tsawwassen Arts Centre is at 1172-56th St.

A night of great music, great food and great beer is all for a great cause. Four Winds Brewing Co. and Reach Child and Youth Development Society are co-hosting the second annual Cheers for Children on Saturday, Feb. 2 from 5 to 10:30 p.m. at Harris Barn in Ladner. Tickets for the 19-plus event are $50 and include food (one main and one side) and two beers. There will also be a 50/50 draw and a series of prize draws with the grand prize of a 50l keg and party pump from Four Winds and a gift basket of beer and merchandise worth $300. “We really appreciate what Reach does as an organization and we wanted to look at ways to be more involved in the community, so we thought
we wanted to do a couple of major events per year and this was one of them,” said Four Winds co-founder Adam Mills on why the event was created last year. “Reach is a wonderful organization to partner with. They offer such a wide range of service to a wide range of children and their families in the community, so they are a great fit to help out and support.” Mills said Four Winds also wanted to create an event that was yearly and had a real community feel to it. Last year’s inaugural event sold out quickly. Mills said ticket sales this year are going well and he expects to be sold out again in a few weeks. Entertainment will be provided by Lower Mainland acts Marin Patenaude, The Wrangleros and Rocket

We are hugely grateful to Four Winds because these guys work really hard on this event and it’s amazing.” Tickets can be purchased at the Four Winds tasting room as well as from the event ticket website at: https://www. eventbrite.ca/e/cheersfor-children-2019-tickets-54247752488.

Andy Vimar wins chance to play the blues in Memphis
Tsawwassen musician Andy Vimar has been selected to represent the Orange County Blues Society at the 35th International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee at the end of January with his band The Motion. “We are super excited about being part of this amazing event that has blues acts from all over the world,” said the 23-yearold South Delta Secondary graduate. Vimar moved to Los Angeles in 2015 to attend the Guitar Program at the Musicians Institute College of Contemporary Music in Hollywood, a world renowned music school. The program is designed to develop professional level technique and musicianship through performance-intensive and immersive experi-
ences. “I have loved being in this program as it has allowed me to meet worldclass musicians and perform at gigs in a variety of incredible venues in LA,” said Vimar. During his studies, Vimar experienced various musical genres, met other students with similar interests and a passion for music. “I met and collaborated with singer and front man Mike Moody to perform as a small duo, and it eventually grew to four members to become the blues and soul band The Motion.” The band won the competition in LA to participate at the event in Memphis. The Blues Challenge will feature over 120 bands from around the world. “We have 24 minutes to perform a set in front of
judges,” explained Vimar. “We are still tweaking the set we want to play and we may have to write a couple more songs; we need to make sure we have it right.” Bands qualified for the International Blues Challenge by winning regional competitions and will compete in various rounds before a winner is crowned at a finale event. “This will be our first visit to Memphis so we can’t wait to get there, meet other bands and play at a venue on legendary Beale Street,” said Vimar. “There are groups coming from Korea, Australia, various places in Europe, Canada and all over the United States and I am looking forward to listening to their material.” The International Blues Challenge will take place Jan. 22 to 26.

Boardwalk Summer is one of Nancy Dean’s landscapes in the Six in the Mix show.
New show at Gallery 1710 puts six artists in the mix LAUREL JOHNSON
Optimist contributor
One benefit of joining the South Delta Artists Guild is the time set aside in Gallery 1710 for shows that feature many works by a few artists. The latest of these group shows is titled Six in the Mix, which opens Jan. 10 in Tsawwassen and includes the work of Nancy Dean, Victoria Heryet, Chris Johnson, Myriam Laberge, Jan Rankin and Kathy Swift. Dean paints land and city scapes which are often local, and sometimes from her travels. She is drawn to paths and streets and meandering waterways, graceful trees and floating leaves often enhanced by shiny reflections from our wet Vancouver landscape. Her architectural renditions are perspective perfect and sure to charm the viewer. Heryet enjoys painting
whimsical nursery rhymes in collage and urban night scenes. She captures weathered buildings with texture. Her love of detail in her new paperweights are sure to surprise. They are tiny scenes, often with beads and shells. Her figures seem to be part of a story, which the viewer is left to interpret. Johnson is a graphic artist who now has time for his artistic side. His first love is for the West Coast which he paints for its beauty. Johnson is now ready to break the rules so look for his work as this is his first show. Laberge loves creating, especially when colour and surprise are added to the scene. She enjoys experimenting, often from colourful photos. Most of her work leans toward impressionism, and according to Laberge, each painting becomes another creative adventure. Rankin is primarily
an acrylic painter whose inspiration comes from an emotional connection to the natural world. Orcas in their natural environment are featured prominently, along with mountains, oceans, auroras and cloudy skies. Rankin paints big canvases and often enhances them with shells, sparkling jewels and other surprises. Swift is also an inspiring acrylic painter. Never static, she often surprises with her abstract panels, of figure impressions, buildings, and a deep rooted passion for trees and other natural forms. Swift has revisited some of her earlier works and taken them further. The show runs Jan. 10 to 20 at Gallery 1710 (adjacent to the South Delta Recreation Centre). The gallery is open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and until 7 p.m. on Fridays. There is a reception on Saturday, Jan. 12 from 3 to 6 p.m.

Old school banking never down for maintenance
Living Matters
BARBARA GUNN
It happens every so often. And it happened just last week. I had logged on to the laptop to do a few things. To check the forecast. To scan the headlines. To eyeball the scores. To look at the bank balance. The balance was nowhere to be found. The website, the credit union
informed me, was down for maintenance. Check again later, it said. I never have any idea what the credit union is doing when its website is down for maintenance, but I can only assume there’s a little housekeeping involved. You know. The numbers are being dusted. The older statements are being swept away. Whatever. I did as I was told and checked again later. The website is down for maintenance, I was told. Check again later. I went about making some tea, wondering whether the latest car payment had been withdrawn and if the cheque to the chimney service had been cashed. “Man,” I said to the hus-
band, following an unsuccessful third attempt. “I wish I could check the bank balance.” “Go online,” he suggested, looking up from the football game. “I tried,” I said. “It’s down for maintenance.” “What’s that mean?” he asked. “I have no idea,” I said, “but I’m pretty sure there’s dusting involved.” In the pre-website dusting days, this wouldn’t have been an issue, primarily because there was no website to be dusted. If I wanted to check on the balance of the chequing account, I would do something the sons have likely never done. I would drive to the bank, stand in line and ask the teller how much money I had. In the pre-website days,
Golfers help needy families once again
For the sixth consecutive year, members of the Tsawwassen Men’s Golf Club delivered Christmas hampers for needy families to three schools in Delta. Throughout the 2018 golf season, golfers contributed toys, clothing and food items for the program, along with cash donations of more than $2,000. The club executive, led by sponsorship chair Bruce MacLean and his wife Erin, along with club president Andrew Connaris and executive members Ken Hart, Tom Bearss, Tom Carr, Vern Novack and Dave Hicks, organized the donations, including several gift certificates, into hampers for deserving families. Each hamper was loaded appropriately for each family as designated by the principals at two
such questions — and banking in general — could not be dealt with at 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday or before nine on a weekday. One waited until the bank was open. In the pre-website days, I did not set up the Hydro payments to be automatically withdrawn once a month. I waited until I received
an invoice, then wrote a cheque and entered an amount in a ledger book that lived inside my purse. Sometime later, a statement would arrive in the mail and I would reconcile the numbers with those in the ledger to see exactly where I stood. I know: nutty, huh? I logged on again. Maintenance, I was told.
Try later. “This is bizarre!” I said to the husband, reaching for my coat. “Where are you going?” he asked. “The bank,” I said. I would do this the oldfashioned way and speak directly to a teller. Tellers are better than websites. They seldom go down for maintenance.

Junior lacrosse team hopes to take advantage of young core over next couple of years MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
When to go for it and when to not? That seems to be the question every team in the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League asks itself each season. The trend in recent years for the province’s top circuit for 17-to21-year-olds is which of the seven clubs is going to take a run at perennial powerhouse Coquitlam. The only one to be successful was the Delta Islanders back in 2016 but even then the Adanacs still advanced and won the Minto Cup. Since that memorable summer, the Islanders have been in a rebuild mode that has resulted in a combined 10-31 record and out of the playoffs over the past two campaigns, including a 6-14 record last season. With a promising 2000-born core that won the provincial midget A1 title three years ago, the hope is Delta can make another run to nationals. This coming season provides a favourable window when BC hosts the tournament at the Langley Events Centre and gets two berths. That’s how Coquitlam advanced even after falling to Delta in the league finals. However, expecting this club to take such a significant leap is a lot to ask. The 2016 win was the pinnacle of three above .500 regular seasons and reaching the finals a year earlier. Yet, co-head coaches Kyle Goundrey and Andy Ogilvie are not ruling out anything with the regular season still four months away. It all starts with informal workouts this week that eventually lead up to main training camp. “There are a lot of things we want to do differently than last year,” said Goundrey, entering his

Haiden Dickson was the Delta Islanders top rookie and offensive player last season. He still has three more years of junior eligibility remaining. third-season as the club’s head coach. “It was a learning process having the five-year junior (age division) for the first time. We want a smoother transition going into it and the more kids we have out the better shape we will be in before the season. The response from the players has been really good.” Even without the now graduated Christian Del Bianco in net, the Adanacs are a good bet to be in position to defend their Minto Cup title. Last season’s league finalist New West is loading up their 2019 war chest — in what will be former Islander standout Tre LeClaire’s final year of junior —
pulling off a pre-midget draft deal with Burnaby last week. In the past two years, the Islanders have traded leading scorer Ryan Jones, including to the Salmonbellies last summer, where he enjoyed an exceptional postseason. They hope not to be in the same position again come the July 1 roster deadline. “Realistically what will happen is if you feel like you are not going to be a top contender you want to let your veterans have the opportunity to try and win a Minto Cup,” continued Goundrey. “But I personally have said to (team president) Darcy (Phillips) if we are in the playoffs, anything can happen
in a seven game series. We are not sending anyone anywhere.” Goundrey did add his team’s “window of opportunity” might not be as far off as the 2000 age group’s junior run suggests. Instead, he looks at his net where he has one of the league’s top goalies in Brody Harris who turned in an MVP performance in helping Canada win last summer’s World Junior Tournament. “One of our main guys is Brody and next season is his last year,” he said. “We are lucky to have one of the top goalies in the league and that’s something you want to move forward with and take advantage of.”
Delta selects Team BC goalie in first round of midget draft Delta Islanders solidified their future in the goal crease as an active team again in Saturday’s B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League Midget Draft at the Langley Events Centre. The Islanders used the seventh overall pick to select goaltender Trace Recsky. The Mission Minor Lacrosse product has been a fixture with the Team B.C. program the last few years — representing his province at the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget levels. He also played on the Fraser Valley Zone team at the 2018 B.C. Summer Games and helped his hometown
Mission squad win bronze at the Provincial Midget A2 Championships. Delta used its second round pick (15th overall) to take Semiahmoo’s Peyton Hooper. He was a tournament all-star at the 2018 A2 provincials. Islanders GM Matt Disher then moved up in the draft to select Cowichan’s Devyn Zunti in the third round — 19th overall. He was Recsky’s teammate on the B.C. squad that attended the 2018 Midget Nationals and also won gold with his Vancouver Island team at
the B.C. Summer Games. Delta closed out the draft by taking Surrey’s Zander Gould in the sixth and final round. It’s expected the draft picks will be suiting up for the Islanders Junior “B” tier one team for the 2019 season. The midget draft is for players from associations not affiliated with junior “A” clubs. Delta has not had a first round pick the past couple of years after making a flurry of trades that led to the club’s first-ever league championship and Minto Cup berth in 2016.

Delta gymnasts off to Hawaii
A group of 16 girls from Delta Gymnastics’ competitive program, ranging from ages seven to 15, will be travelling to Hawaii for two international competitions this month. The Delta contingent will participate in the Gymnastics in Paradise Meet and the Aloha Gymnastics Festival in Oahu. “Hawaii is a great destination because there is no other competition location that will allow our athletes the same international experience,” explains Delta Gymnastics’ Women’s Competitive Program Coordinator, Jennifer Dober. “These events are an incredible opportunity for the gymnasts to expand their competition experience, perform with a wide variety of levels, practice at a completely different location and learn about the culture of the area. Gymnastics in Paradise — hosted by
the Hawaiian Island Twisters Gymnastics Club — is an international competition featuring competitors from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the US, in levels five through elite. The three-day meet gets underway on Friday. “The Hawaiian clubs are so friendly and accommodating; they are very flexible in allowing our gymnasts to train in their club prior to the competitions so the girls are exposed to other gym set ups, facilities and coaches,” added Dober. The Aloha Gymfest, in its 43rd year, is also an international meet but includes a wider variety of competitors from places such as Japan, Europe and Guam. The Festival is hosted by Kokokahi Gymnastics Team and is famous for its beautiful and unique seashell trophies. It gets underway Jan. 18.

Impressive debut on BC stage for Tunnel Town juniors MARK BOOTH
m b o o t h @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m
It was an impressive debut for four Tunnel Town Curling Club members at the B.C. Junior Curling Championships in Vernon. Delta Secondary students Sam Husdon and Connor Deane helped Team Umbach finish fourth in the eight-rink men’s event with a 4-3 record. After an 0-2 start, Umbach climbed back into contention with four straight wins and had a chance to earn a semi-final berth before falling 9-5 to eventual runner-up Team Colwell in their final round-robin game. An earlier 9-8 extra inning heartbreaker to third place finisher Team Sato also factored into the final standings that saw just three rinks advance to the playoffs.
Team Umbach’s Brian Cole received the coaching award for his efforts. Meanwhile, Meredith Cole and Keira McCoy more than held their own as members of Team Taylor which also finished with a 4-3 record in the eight rink women’s draw. Taylor’s rink got off to a terrific 3-1 start with their only loss being to eventual champion Team Daniels from Delta Thistle. However, two straight defeats took them out of playoff contention before closing out the bonspiel on a high note — knocking off defending champion and 2019 silver medalist Team Reese-Hansen of Victoria 8-5 in their final game. Cole and McCoy are in Grades 10 and 9 respectively at South Delta Secondary with many more years of eligibility at the U21 junior level.
Team Umbach, that features Tunnel Town’s Sam Husdon and Connor Deane (second and third from right), narrowly missed out on a playoff berth and a top three finish at the B.C. Junior Men’s Curling Championships in Vernon.
BC champ Daniels headed back to junior nationals for a 3rd time Team Daniels concluded a dominant run in Vernon by capturing the 2019 BC Junior Women’s Curling Championship. The Delta Thistle rink earned the opportunity to represent B.C. later this month at the Canadian Junior Championships in St. Albert, Saskatchewan with a 10-4 victory over defending champion Team Reese-Hansen from Victoria. Daniels topped the round-robin standings with a 6-1
record to advance directly to the final then avenged her only loss of the week by building a 7-2 lead after six ends. Reese-Hansen tried to mount a comeback with singles in the seventh and eighth but Daniels sealed the championship with three more in the ninth. She will be making her third trip to nationals, having finished second in 2014 and 2016. A year ago she lost the provincial final 6-5 to Reese-Hansen in an extra end heartbreaker.

OBITUARIES BELLAMY, Marion Elaine (née Fracy) December 1944 - December 2018 Marion Elaine Bellamy (née Fracy), age 74 of Tsawwassen departed to be with Christ on Tuesday morning, December 26, 2018 at the Delta Hospital in Ladner, BC. She was born in Vancouver to the late John and Mabel Fracy on December 12, 1944. She was preceded in death by her sister Jean Langrell. Marion is survived by her husband John Bellamy. Marion came to know Christ as her Saviour at the age of thirteen. She married John Bellamy on August 5, 1980. Over the years, John and Marion found their joy entertaining in their home many persons locally and from around the world. Although they had no children of their own, they experienced the blessings of being in God’s “family”, enjoying bonds in Christ that are eternal. We may be separated for a little while but have the blessed assurance and hope of being reunited with her again, with Christ in heaven. “Asleep through Jesus” - blessed state! What power from Thee can separate? Not death nor life, not land nor sea, Can come between Thy saints and Thee. When those asleep shall wakened be To put on immortality, And we with them shall rise to share That rapturous meeting in the air!” Hymn written by: Mrs. H.A. Berg
DONALDSON, Ruth October 25, 1918 - December 30, 2018 Ruth passed peacefully at her home in Ts a w w a s s e n . S h e w a s p r e d e c e a s e d b y h e r husband Captain Jimmy Donaldson and left behind her sister Bev, her daughter Beverley and son Bob. She had four grandchildren: Catherine, (Conrad), Darlene (Roman), Robert (Kassie) and Shanley. She also had four great grandchildren: Marrisa, Steven, James and Skyla. Ruth was an avid bridge player, wonderful mother and grandmother and had many words of wisdom for her family and friends. She had a great sense of humour and loved to entertain. She will certainly be missed, but as she said “It’s Time” and went off to bridge heaven. A celebration of life will be held at McKee House in Ladner (5155-47th Avenue) on January 20th between 2-4pm. No flowers by request.
