Garbage truck struck by train

Investigation continuing into fatal collision in East Ladner Saturday afternoon 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

An investigation continues into why a Smithrite Disposal truck ended up on train tracks in East Ladner that resulted in a fatal collision last weekend.

According to Delta police, emergency crews were called around 3:20 p.m. on Saturday to the 4600-block of 72nd Street after a CN freight train collided with the garbage truck.

“Unfortunately the driver of the truck did not

survive the crash,” said Cris Leykauf, public affairs manager for the Delta Police Department.

Leykauf said the driver died at the scene.

According to CN Rail, the crossing is equipped with warning lights that were working at the time

of the incident.

The deceased is a man in his 40s from Vancouver.

Police were able to notify his family but no further information regarding the victim is being released at this time.

The crash scene near the Boundary Bay Airport

was complex as the truck was pushed a significant way down the track by the train, according to police.

Police were on scene until 3:45 a.m. Sunday to conduct the initial investigation, which was led by the traffic services division.

Delta orders all donation bins to be removed 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 banning donation bins.

At the end of its meeting Monday, Delta council agreed with a staff recommendation to declare the clothing donation bins unsafe and order organizations to remove their bins by Jan. 29.

If they are not voluntarily removed, the city will remove them at the owner’s expense.

Staff will also prepare a bylaw that formally bans donation bins in the city.

Council members also agreed there are many organizations such as Big Brothers that will pick up

Delta has given organizations until Jan. 29 to remove donation bins from private property due to safety concerns. donated clothing items, so not having bins isn’t going to be an imposition.

Coun. Dan Copeland said

it’s unfortunate the city has to take such measures but there are people who feel the need to rummage

through them, noting he saw someone going through one the night before.

Since 2017, donation bins have been prohibited from city property and Delta rights-of-way, but there are approximately 31 donation bins on private property throughout the community.

The Delta School District recently announced it would be securing clothing bins on its property and would be posting notices that the bins are out of service.

Several municipalities have also implemented bans.

Last week, a 35-year-old Toronto woman died after becoming trapped inside a bin. Last month, a 34-yearold man died in a similar mishap in West Vancouver.

Poison used to kill rats is also claiming owls DIANE STRANDBERG

Tr i - C i t y N e w s

Bait boxes containing rodenticides seem like an easy solution to a mouse and rat problem but a growing body of research suggests the poison may be killing local owls and other wildlife.

The ubiquitous black boxes containing rat poison are especially dangerous to use near greenbelts, wildlife advocates say, because animals that feed on dying rats will suffer life-threatening health issues themselves.

“Poison is cheap and easy, you put it out and leave it. People want a quick fix for cheap, but the secondary effects is great on the environment,” said Rob Hope, raptor care manager at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in East Ladner.

Recently local naturalists have joined advocacy groups and researchers in calling for reduced use of rodenticides, especially second generation anticoagulants, because of their

Owls are dying after eating rodents that have ingested poison. toxicity, persistence and potential damage to the owl population.

Hope said about 40 dead owls have been brought to the 72nd Street facility from the Lower Mainland in the last year and most likely died of rat poisoning.

“It’s not a pretty death,” Hope said, adding owl deaths are sad because they are preventable.

Secondary anti-coagulants, such bromadiolone often used in outdoor bait traps, prevent blood from clotting. It can take several days for the poison to kill a rat so when the rodent is

eaten by a predatory owl, the chemical often kills the raptor as well.

“If you have to use bait, it shouldn’t be out there permanently,” said independent researcher Sofi Hindmarch, who has studied the use of rat poisoning on farms in Delta.

She suggests people choose alternatives, such as rat-proofing their homes, or choosing SPCAapproved commercial pest control companies.

One new product that is showing promise is a C02 canister that kills the rat with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hockey academy is now privately run

Program based out of Planet Ice grew beyond what the Delta School District could provide 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 Delta School District’s flagship academy has quietly gone into private hands.

Originally based out of South Delta Secondary, the hockey academy was sold to the GSL Group founded by Graham Lee, whose holdings includie the Planet Ice arena in North Delta where the program is now based.

Delta School District spokesperson Jen Hill said the program became so successful that it grew beyond the facilities the district could provide.

“The team there was taking such great care and had such an emotional investment in it, we came to an agreement that they would take over the management of it. We want all our academies to grow and it’s not that we want all of them to become independent of the school district.

When you have something like hockey that’s so dependent on a facility, we weren’t going to be able to help steward that

through the longterm goals of the academy team, so they wanted to take that on themselves,” Hill explained.

The school district got just $1 for the program, but the district is still involved with the educational aspect as many of the students attend classes in Delta schools or are taught in classrooms at Planet Ice. Ian Gallagher, the former Vancouver Giants strength and conditioning coach who was an integral part of the SDSS program, still runs FILE PHOTO the academy, which Ian Gallagher continues to run the hockey academy, which the Delta School District sold has produced such to the GSL Group for $1.

and all that, so we had to be very careful on what we did and how we did it, and we didn’t want to step into that realm because it can be a pretty slippery slope,” said Saip.

Noting the school district’s goal of retaining and attracting new students is still being realized, Saip added, “The only reason we started with hockey is because I knew how to do it, and that was one way we could keep kids here. That’s what we’ve been able to do and it’s been very successful, but it didn’t make sense making major investments and building our own rink.”

Having real estate, entertainment and other holdings, including the Victoria Royals hockey team of the WHL, the GSL Group is headquartered in Vancouver.

“Our program works in harmony with existing school district goals to provide our students with a positive learning environment from which to develop their academic and athletic potential,” the company says.

Delta moving forward on $8-million track project SANDOR GYARMATI

s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m s i t .co m

It’s going to be an important and well-used amenity geared for the community, not for the region.

Mayor George Harvie had that to say at an open house last week at North Delta Secondary about the plan to build an $8-million track facility at the school in partnership with the Delta School District.

“We’ve looked around to see where we could accommodate this and it

always came back to this site. This was originally shaping up to be a regional-type of facility but after talking to people when I became mayor I made the decision this has to be more a community-based facility. To me, it’s about opportunities for our youth and seniors,” Harvie told the Optimist.

Noting the project needs to move along in order to meet the application deadline for a senior government funding, Harvie said a few changes could be made but the city will pro-

ceed regardless of whether it receives a grant.

“The feedback I’ve received from the community is they feel very relieved this is going ahead; total support.

They’re very appreciative of the city and school board working together to finally get this done,” he said.

The project includes an eight-lane synthetic turf track with lighting, a perimeter walking path, a natural grass infield as well as multi-sports court to accommodate tennis and

pickleball.

The plan is to commence the project by December 2020 with completion by September of 2021. The shared use agreement would see students use the facility during school hours and the community during nonschool hours.

The district would lease the land to Delta for $1 per year for 60 years with the city assuming construction and maintenance costs.

The project still needs to go to Delta council for final approval.

Mayor George Harvie was at an open house last week for the North Delta Secondary track project.

Meanwhile, a shared use agreement with the school district for the renovated track at South Delta Secondary was approved.

The district last spring removed the rubber track at the school, which had been installed for the B.C. Summer Games in 1987

but in recent years clearly looked in disrepair.

Delta has agreed to provide 50 per cent funding for the resurfacing project to a maximum of $175,000.

The project will be retendered this spring with installation planned for summer.

Murphy’s Law

T

TED MURPHY

hey’re all a quarter-mile in circumference but that seems to be where the similarities end when it comes to running tracks in George Harvie’s Delta.

Our new mayor is fulfilling one of his election promises by moving forward on a new running track complex at North Delta Secondary, so in that regard he’s got to be given marks for following through on what he said while stumping for votes on the campaign trail last fall.

Where it gets less straightforward is the fact that Delta has four tracks, all attached to high schools, which means they’ve all been equally neglected by a cash-strapped school board that allocated pretty much every available dollar to classrooms. That understandable approach resulted in the four tracks falling into various states of disrepair, the one at South Delta Secondary becoming such a mess that the rubberized surface was removed last year due to safety concerns.

It’s heartening the city has worked out a deal with the school district to rectify the situation at NDSS, but rather than spend $8 million on a project that will only benefit one part of the city, could that money not be divvied up among all four tracks? To be fair to Harvie and Co., these are school facilities so city hall is under no obligation to upgrade any of them, and it should be noted Delta has agreed to put up $175,000 to pay for half the cost of resurfacing the track at SDSS, but the optics are still a little fuzzy.

It’s no secret that North Delta voters put Harvie in the mayor’s chair (he finished marginally behind Jim Cessford in South Delta) so it’s not surprising his first big infrastructure splash would be in that part of the city. I can accept that, but what’s harder to take is that all the tracks need attention but only one is getting the deluxe treatment.

The clay-like surface of Delta Secondary’s track turns into mush when the rain falls, only to dry in all kinds of ankle-twisting configurations, while news of the NDSS project has prompted “what about us?” complaints from those in Sunshine Hills, home of Seaquam Secondary and its less than stellar track.

It’s great that Harvie’s council is willing to buck up to improve recreation facilities, it’s just a shame that money is only going so far.

Early signs are encouraging as new council making its mark

L

ast October, Delta began a new era, electing George Harvie as mayor and three new councillors. There’s a lot to be said for new ideas and fresh faces, but things were going fairly well as it was. Such a big change and too many new ideas might upset the apple cart.

But I have to say, from what I’ve seen so far, I am quite optimistic.

I had the opportunity to spend some time with two of the new councillors when I volunteered with Operation Red Nose. Alicia Guichon and Dylan Kruger were on my team, and we spent a good part of a Friday evening driving around South Delta with me dressed as a giant reindeer.

I thought it was interesting they were out volunteering for Operation Red Nose. The campaign was over, you were elected, who do you need to impress?

Well, they weren’t out to impress people, they were out to help. No fanfare, no accolades, just help. A good sign.

Prior to the election, Deltassist had put in a request for funding an important seniors program.

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

is funded by the United Way, but the funding was being reduced and soon to be eliminated, and the program was in jeopardy. The former council felt it was better for a new council to make a decision on this request, and rightly so.

Very soon after the election, I received a phone call asking for more information. But the call didn’t come from a city staff member, it was Harvie. I was a little surprised, to say the least, to be receiving a phone call from him. It’s not every day you get a phone call from the mayor. We had a brief conversation as he was preparing for the council meeting that evening.

And he called me directly. It wasn’t someone calling me saying, “Hold for the mayor.” It was, “Hi Brad, George Harvie.” He

didn’t have my cell number, he had to find it as it’s not in the book. Council approved the funding request that night, and the program was saved.

Last week, the executive director of Deltassist and I met with Harvie and his senior staff. They spoke about what they had heard on the doorsteps during the campaign, and wanted to help solve some of the issues people shared. A lot of politicians will tell you what you want to hear during a campaign, then do what they want afterwards. That’s not what I was hearing. I was hearing a man who recognized problems that people were having and was going about creating solutions.

What I didn’t tell him was this – I didn’t vote for him. We had three great candidates, and I chose one of the others. But I don’t think he really cares if I voted for him or not. He is Delta’s mayor, looking out for the wellbeing of all of our community. He has a job to do, and he will get it done. For all of us.

Optimistic indeed.

Stupid decision compounded

Editor: A number of years ago government allowed top quality agricultural land in Delta to be paved over so that greenhouses could be built.

Delta council tried to stop this, but the province overruled it.

One of the justifications used was that greenhouses were so much more productive than soil-based agriculture in growing vegetables and therefore a

benefit to citizens.

Delta is a favoured location for greenhouses because of the amount of sunshine it regularly gets during the year. So we were told it was OK to pave over our precious agricultural land so that greenhouses could flourish.

Then along came the legalization of cannabis and — surprise, surprise — a good number of greenhouses are switching to growing weed.

And so the stupid decision to allow top quality agricultural land to be paved over is compounded and now a number of vegetable-growing greenhouses will switch.

And what about consumers? Will they now pay more for vegetables that are no longer available locally and have to be imported? Of course.

Yes, definitely compounding stupidity.

Highway 17 heading due north, connecting with the East-West Connector and heading over the north arm of the Fraser River to Boundary Road.

It could be elevated through the Richmond agricultural area and the existing tunnel left alone.

This could be done at minimal disruption to the existing highway system and save millions in road

relocation for construction.

It could also be done in two phases: south of the East-West Connector and north of it.

This option would by far do the most to spread out the traffic and give more options heading across the Fraser. Let’s get our heads out of the sand and grasp that progress never stops.

Time to remove donation bins in Delta

Editor: The recent death of a 34-year-old trapped in a donation bin in Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, the fifth such death in B.C. since 2015, should provide enough evidence for the removal of these bins. Cities such as Vancouver and Richmond took immediate action, while only a few days ago the Delta School District announced closing of the

bins on its sites.

Not only do they risk lives, the bins are an unsightly addition to neighbourhoods. Often, they become a dumping location for those who don’t want to trash various end-of-life household items. The bins at Burnsview Secondary and Real Canadian Superstore are often overflowing with items carelessly discarded.

If the city wants to serve

charities and help citizens shed themselves of used household items, a better system needs to be worked out. A semi-annual or quarterly donation drive similar to the Spring Clean-up, or a central repository, could be better options than the easy solution of peppering trashcollecting, life-risking donation bins across the city.

School board should hold meetings in North Delta Editor: Since the recent municipal election I’ve been pleased to see progress already being made in regards to fairness between South Delta and North Delta residents.

Every second Delta council meeting is now scheduled for North Delta.

These meetings have always been open to the public and allow Delta taxpayers to officially voice

concerns.

I have been asking Delta school board to take council’s lead and also open up a set time in their regularly scheduled public meetings for Delta individuals to voice concerns. North Delta residents would also like the school board to move half its public meetings from South Delta to North Delta. These changes would allow North Delta residents to

more easily communicate with their elected officials.

Conversations between North Delta taxpayers and their school trustees should be encouraged through the agenda structure and meeting locations, not discouraged by school board traditions.

I am hopeful 2019 brings a more fair public process to Delta school board meetings.

Bus commuter doesn’t have issue with the tunnel

Editor: First of all, I should say right off the bat that the George Massey Tunnel doesn’t bother me at all.

I commute by transit and the bus gets through the tunnel in no time at all.

So, for all you people fuming in your cars you might want to think about your mode of transportation.

I understand that some people need to commute by car, but I would hazard a guess that plenty of people driving through the tunnel could take transit if they chose.

As for planning ahead, I saw no evidence of that when the Liberals put in the Canada Line. It is already at capacity and it is only eight years old. So,

the NDP are not the only government to make that mistake.

Personally, I would like to see a smaller, less environmentally destructive bridge and the Canada Line extended to White Rock, but I expect I am dreaming in technicolour if I think that is going to happen.

Pet Week of the

Say hello to Radley

Radley is a stunning, seven year old, eighty pound bully mix. He is great in his crate and totally house broken. He has no separation anxiety or destructive tenancies. Radley is a medium energy dog, and currently has been happy with a 3-4 km hike a day along with some mentally stimulating training. Radley is not pushy about affection either. He enjoys some pets and loves giving kisses but he’s not in your face the way that most pitbulls are. Radley can get very excited around other dogs and is working on his social skills. He would probably do best in a home with another large, calm dog to give him confidence, Small dogs and cats may be a concern. He can be nervous of new men but after intros and some cookies, he’s fine. Radley has all the training on lock! He is exceptional on leash and walks like a gem with a simple martingale collar. He loves EVERYONE he meets, young or old, big or small....give him love and he gives it right back! As with all our dogs, he is neutered and up to date on all shots and vaccines. Radley is still working on socialization and to set him up for success, a training package for his furever family will be on top of the training covered by PB and Chi!

New year means new taxes from gov’t that promised affordability

Despite campaigning on a promise to improve affordability for British Columbians, the NDP’s actions to date don’t bode well for you or your pocketbook in 2019.

That’s because the NDP has imposed 19 new or increased taxes worth about $5.5 billion since taking office — two absolutely staggering numbers.

Residents and businesses can expect to pay more income and corporate tax. You might also notice it costs more to fuel your vehicle. And does someone else in your family drive your vehicle from time to time? You’ll face a new ICBC premium for that privilege.

Those are just a few examples, but perhaps the most disappointing of the NDP’s tax schemes is the new employer health tax

“Home Services”

which the NDP is using to replace MSP premiums.

Businesses in our community and throughout B.C. are being hit with this payroll tax, which will be a new expense if they didn’t previously cover MSP for their employees.

But here’s the kicker: the NDP is squeezing extra money from the taxpayer as they phase in the tax.

Businesses will pay both taxes in 2019 before MSP premiums are finally gone in 2020. So the government will double-dip into the pockets of our business community in 2019, which will really hit these companies’ bottom line. Do they lay off staff?

Restrict hiring? Raise the prices you pay for goods and services? We shall see.

They have to cover this huge tax bill somehow.

I should also mention that local governments are among the groups captured by the employer health tax. With the City of Delta being hit with a $2-million tax bill, you can likely expect a hike in your property taxes as a result.

Meanwhile, more British Columbians than actual speculators are being targeted by the NDP’s heavy-handed and misnamed speculation tax. Despite the pleas from mayors of affected communities for a way to opt out, the government is marching ahead with it —

B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson (left) and Delta South MLA Ian Paton (right) chat with Matei Ghelesel of Sonic Enclosures Ltd., whose Tilbury business will take a $50,000 hit to the bottom line as a result of the employer health tax. and a number of housing projects across the province have already been delayed or cancelled as a result. This damaging tax is creating a lot of uncertainty and will put people out of work.

As the BC Liberals’ agriculture critic, I’m also deeply concerned for how our local agriculture community will be hurt by the NDP’s reckless taxes. I’ve spoken publicly and in the legislature many times about the “triple-whammy” our farmers, ranchers and producers are facing.

From the aforementioned employer health tax, to the hike in the carbon tax, to the increase to minimum wage — the costs to run these operations are going up substantially.

If B.C. Agriculture

Minister Lana Popham was really serious about supporting the next generation of farmers, she would realize these costs will be too rich for many of them to bear. Farmers can’t simply raise prices to account for increased costs because they are price-takers, not pricesetters.

In closing, British Columbians were promised one thing — increased affordability — but are getting increasingly taxed and financially squeezed instead. As your local MLA, I will continue to urge the NDP government to reconsider these damaging measures and the negative impacts they will have on your household budget as well as B.C.’s economy.

Complaints prompt Delta to reconsider Winskill changes

Patrons concerned over loss of drop-in programs

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 will take another look at programing changes at the Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre.

A recent news release

by Delta’s parks and recreation department notes that at the request of a number of patrons, the department introduced changes to its fitness class programming at the Tsawwassen facility last spring. The changes included the addition of requested registered fitness programs, which in turn led to a reduction in the number of drop-in classes.

“Recently, the city has received concerns from residents regarding the fitness class programming changes at Winskill. In response, Delta’s parks, recreation and culture department is working to resolve these issues by making further adjustments to its registered and drop-in fitness class schedules at Winskill,”

Delta is taking another look at how it provides programming at the Winskill Aquatic and Fitness Centre. department director Ken Kuntz explained.

“The city thanks all residents and patrons for their feedback and patience as we strive to meet the fitness goals of all ages and ability levels.”

Several residents raised a number of concerns about the changes, including Jane Drinkwater, who in a letter to Delta council stated, “The implementation of registered classes (as opposed to drop- in) has led to cancellations, loss of individual fitness improvements, disappointments and economical unfairness.

Management, and the

powers that be, justify these changes by using reasoning and words such as ‘progressive’ or striving to make all facilities uniform.

“We pay for admission and are told to pay again for Pilates, Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga at our fancy facility after years of doing these classes as drop-in.”

In a memo to council, Todd Stewardson with parks and recreation department noted the move to registered classes in early 2018 allowed patrons to receive a higher, more personalized level of instruction.

FEELING THE

HEAT Delta School District could end up paying millions in thermal energy deal

Sandor Gyarmati sgyarmati@delta-optimist.com

T

he Delta School District could be on the hook for millions of dollars due to a thermal energy deal with FortisBC that has gone sour.

Several years ago the district entered into a deal with FortisBC Alternative Energy Services Inc. that saw the replacement of conventional natural gas boilers with new technology at 19 sites, including many schools. Geoexchange heating and cooling is done through the use of ground source heat pumps, which work by transferring underground heat and circulating it through a building.

In a 2012 announcement that had much fanfare, it was noted the $6.4 million investment into the thermal energy production facilities would lower the district’s carbon footprint and reduce energy usage by an estimated 45 per cent, equivalent to enough natural gas for about 365 homes a year.

Greenhouse gas emissions in the district were expected to drop by 69 per cent as a result of the initiative, equivalent to the removal of almost 450 cars from the road annually.

At the time, it was also noted the

province’s mandate that all public sector organizations be carbon neutral resulted in the school district having to purchase carbon offsets to the tune of $100,000 a year. The FortisBC project would eliminate the need to purchase the offsets. Those savings, combined with substantial reduction in natural gas usage, would mean the district was expected to save $180,000 a year through the initiative.“We’re thrilled about the positive impact this FortisBC partnership will have on our bottom line and our environmental footprint,” district facilities manager Frank Geyer said of the 20-year deal at the time.

A grant through the Public Sector Energy Conservation Agreement provided the district $1.4 million. FortisBC paid the remainder of the

start-up costs and provided the district with a so-called “market rate” rather than a “cost of service rate” that would have been higher.

Last year Fortis appeared before the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply not only to switch to the higher rate, which is now about $1 million difference, but also get back payment from the beginning of the project for the difference, which totals almost $4

January 17, 2019 The Delta Optimist A13 million.

The utilities commission process will culminate this month with both parties submitting their final arguments.

Appearing before the commission last year on behalf of the district, which is disputing the FortisBC application, legal counsel Dionysios Rossi said, “The impact on my client’s financial position is going to be very significant… school boards are legislatively prohibited from running deficits year to year. So the estimated $1 million in additional costs that will result from a switch to the cost of service rate at this time is going to have to come out of the program budget by which the district operates its schools.”

He also asked the panel to carefully consider the consequences of the upcoming decision.

“We’re talking about an increase in its budget of about a million dollars a year for the next 15 years,” Rossi said.

A spokesperson for FortisBC told the Optimist the negotiated and approved contracts between the district and FortisBC establish that after a period of time the district can elect to pay the cost of service rate or FortisBC can apply to the commission to charge that rate.

The contracts also set out a rate to recover the annual cost of service FortisBC incurs in providing thermal energy to the district’s buildings. The contracts include a transitional market rate to be in place for a period of time prior to charging the cost of service rate, and an associated Delta deferral account collects the cumulative difference between the revenues and cost of service during the transitional period.

Someone familiar with the deal when it was devised told the Optimist the cost of service rate was expected to be lower than what Fortis is now seeking because more customers were expected to sign up to be part of the thermal energy initiative, but the interest wasn’t there, which now leaves Delta on the hook to pay much more than anticipated.

In its submission, FortisBC stated the anticipated thermal energy demand used to calculate the market rate did not materialize and that any further delay in switching to the new rate “will exacerbate the impact to the DSD (Delta School District) when the switch occurs.”

When it approved the original deal, the utilities commission wrote that it was concerned with the cost risks of the district assuming a cost of service model with FortisBC. “Delaying payment of the COS (cost of service) rate any further will harm both the DSD and FAES (FortisBC Alternative Energy Services). Growth and carrying costs of the DDA (district deferral account) balance will only increase DSD’s future costs and increase the financial risk to FAES. Further, ongoing use of the MR (market rate) not only precludes FAES from having reasonable opportunity to earn a fair return on its investment, but is also inadequate to even cover the cost of electricity, natural gas and operating expenses. For these reasons. FAES submits that now is the appropriate time to charge the COS rate,” a FortisBC submission to the commission explains.

“FAES has abided by the terms of the contracts, has been unsuccessful in negotiating a resolution with the DSD on this matter, has provided DSD with advance notice of its intent to make this application and has provided DSD with an advance copy of this application.

“FAES is sympathetic to DSD’s budgetary concerns to a point, but DSD is a sophisticated party. It has had the ability to budget RIGHT: The Delta School District thought it would be saving big dollars by the switch to thermal energy but could end up being on the hook for millions.

LEFT: North Delta Secondary had an air-to-water heat pump system installed. The system absorbs heat from outside air and a heat pump compressor increases the temperature of that heat further. A heat exchanger then transfers the heat to the building’s hot water heating system.

appropriately, particularly when it has been benefitting from market rates that are even lower than the market rates that had been forecasted by the parties at the outset. The DSD has chosen to spend that unexpected benefit rather than set it aside.”

Representing FortisBC, Mathew Ghikas told the commission, “While we can be sympathetic to Delta in its budgeting constraints, we should also be considering the fact that

it really cannot, in a commercial arrangement, rely on its own budgeting practices as a defence to the enforcement of a commercial arrangement.” He added, “They want a different agreement, and in my submission, this is not the place to be arguing for a different agreement, it’s the place to enforce the agreement that the parties knew they had from the get-go.”

FortisBC also stated the two sides had ongoing discussions about the service since its inception, including the timing of when to begin paying the different rate, and that the

two- to five-year period for the transition has expired. School board chair Laura Dixon referred a request for comment to a school district spokesperson. That spokesperson told the Optimist the cost of service rate has a number of components, but the basic principle is that the more customers, the lower that rate would be.

“At the time the ESRDA (Energy Systems Rate Development Agreement) was negotiated, the cost of service rate was included as an option based on the expectation/commitment that FAES would market and attract many customers to its Alternative Energy Services group, resulting in the cost of service rate being lower than the market rate and therefore more beneficial to Delta School District.” According to the district, issues the commission needs to determine include whether FortisBC Alternative Energy Services can apply to the commission for approval to switch Delta to the cost of service rate at this time, and if it’s determined the district should be switched, whether the commission should approve the kilowatt-per-hour rate FortisBC is seeking.

FortisBC explains that while it’s seeking the higher rate that works out to about $1 million more annually, the roughly $4 million in back payment would only have to be paid off over the next 15 years.

The Delta School District’s operating budget for this school year had a surplus of just under $57,000, a sharp contrast from deficits in the millions that had been the norm for years.

The sore and tired muscles are all worth it for Delta police Const. Kelly Seib.

Seib said she’s feeling an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment after a marathon swim last Thursday at North Delta’s Sungod Recreation Centre.

Seib swam 910 lengths of the pool (approximately 23.5 kilometres) over 12 hours in support of brain cancer treatment for Tashina Janus.

“It was an overwhelming experience in a positive way,” said Seib.

“It was everything that I had hoped it to be and then some. I can’t put into words the support I received from their family, my members, the fire department members, two members from Vancouver Fire (and Rescue Services) who came and ran a barbecue.

“All of it combined together was just an amazing experience and will leave me with memories that will last a lifetime. It makes me so proud to be a part of not only my police department, but my community.”

Seib said the swim went pretty much as expected,

Delta police Const. Kelly Seib swam over 900 lengths of the Sungod Recreation Centre pool last Thursday. although she admitted the last hour or so was the hardest part.

“There is a lot of mental training that goes into it and I was prepared, however, because I had some stomach issues and wasn’t able to get some of the proper nutrition in, at 6 p.m. with one hour to go, I hit that first wall,” she recalled. “The last 30 minutes was a physical drain where I felt like I was lifting barbells. I knew I had to take one last stroke at a time and that’s what pushed me through.”

The fundraiser brought in over $16,000.

Coupled with more than $55,000 raised on a GoFundMe page (https:// ca.gofundme.com/savetashinasbrain), the Janus family is well on the way to its fundraising goal of $100,000.

“It was amazing.

The amount of support from the Delta Police

Department, Delta Fire (Department), Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services – you couldn’t ask for a better group of people to come and support. Kelly just blew everyone out of the water. She was as strong starting as she was finishing,” said Tanisha’s sister Soraya.

“My sister is very humbled as our whole family is by all of this. We are just so thankful for Kelly and everyone’s support,” she said.

At the age of 21, Tanisha was diagnosed with an astrocytoma and her oncologist recommended a consultation with a specialist in neuro-oncology at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco. Her family is hoping she’ll receive special immunotherapy treatment there for her type of brain tumour, a treatment that is not currently available in Canada.

Ensure there are items to fit all budgets on wedding registry

Building a wedding registry is a task unlike any other couples may encounter during their lifetimes. Wedding registries are invaluable resources that provide engaged couples’ loved ones with gift suggestions.

In spite of that value, couples may find it daunting and even a little uncomfortable to build their wedding registries.

Building a wedding registry can feel like walking a tightrope. Couples likely won’t want to ask for too much or for gifts that are too expensive, but a poorly built registry can be a major inconvenience for guests. The following tips can help couples build adequate registries that benefit them without asking too much of their guests: • Register with more than one store. It’s important to register with more than one store. Doing so makes things as convenient as possible for guests and increases the chances

discount registry items that weren’t purchased. So even if no one purchases the more expensive items, including them on a registry may significantly reduce their cost for couples who want to buy such items themselves after tying the knot.

• Vary the prices of items on the list. In addition to including more expensive items on the registry, make sure to include moderately priced and inexpensive items.

This gives guests more options and ensures guests who might be spending a lot to travel to and from the wedding can still purchase gifts without digging too much deeper into their pockets.

• Periodically update the registries. Update your registries to remove items you have already received and to add items if many of the less expensive ones have already been purchased. This also makes things more convenient for guests.

Celebrate second time

Taking a chance on love and marriage for the second (or third) time is certainly worthy of celebration. The Pew Research Center reports that at least four in 10 new marriages now include at least one partner who has been married before, a trend that is on the rise.

Planning a second wedding can be challenging as individuals might be worried about proper etiquette, superstitions or meeting the expectations of others. But there are no hard rules governing second weddings.

Now that couples are older and a bit more experienced, wedding planning may be met with greater enthusiasm and patience. These tips can help the process along.

• Dress it up. Brides need not eschew white if they prefer to wear it for their second weddings.

White, cream, ivory or other shades are perfectly acceptable. Also, brides can make their gowns as lavish or as simplistic as they desire. The length

and style of the dress should reflect the formality and scope of the event.

• Make it unique.

Couples who have been married before may want to set this new occasion apart from their previous weddings. Brides magazine experts suggest discussing previous celebrations and what can be done differently this time around. Couples can use this opportunity to get to know each other more intimately by personalizing their festivities.

• Don’t feel beholden to intimate affairs.

Second weddings tend to be more intimate as guest lists tend to be smaller and couples tying the knot again may prefer less hustle and bustle. But couples should not avoid inviting people simply because second weddings are typically small affairs.

• Set up a registry.

Established couples may have the household basics already in place, but registries can include fun or entertaining gifts that speak to couples’ interests.

Wedding Planner

Couples immersed in wedding terminology

Couples about to embark on their wedding journeys will likely learn a thing or two about party planning once their engagements are over and they are newly married.

Wedding planning can seem overwhelming and a tad confusing at times, but a crash course in wedding terminology can help couples make more informed choices along the way.

• Blusher: A short, single-layer veil that covers the bride’s face before the ceremony.

• Boutonnière: A single flower bud worn by the men in the bridal party.

• Canapés: Bite-sized appetizers served during the cocktail hour of a reception.

• Civil ceremony: A marriage ceremony conducted by a council official or justice of the peace at a municipal location rather than in a house of worship.

• Cocktail hour: Typically an hour-long interlude between the wedding ceremony and the main dinner of the reception.

• Corkage fee: A fee

Tablescape is just one of the terms couples encounter as they plan their big day. some establishments charge to allow guests to bring their own wine.

• Dais: A podium or platform raised from the floor where the bride and groom are seated.

• Deposit: A percentage of the total cost of service given to a vendor to secure a date for their services.

• Dragées: Round, small edible balls of sugar that appear on wedding cakes.

• Escort (seating) cards: Printed cards that direct reception guests to their seats.

• Fondant: A sweet, plyable product used to decoratively cover layered

cakes. It can be used in lieu of straight buttercream.

• Handle wrap: Ribbon or fabric that wraps around the stems of a bouquet the bride and wed-

ding party carries.

• Maid/matron of honour: The title given to the woman who assists the bride and stands closest to her at the altar. “Maids” are those who are unmarried, while “matrons” are women who are.

• Master of ceremonies: An individual who will work with the DJ or band to announce the various components of the wedding reception.

• Nosegay: A small bouquet or flower arrangement typically given to the mothers of the bride and groom before the ceremony.

• Processional/ Recessional: Musical pieces that mark the entrance and exit from the wedding ceremony.

• Receiving line: A line of the key people in the wedding who welcome and greet guests.

At the beginning of the last several years, I have chosen one word that I feel encompasses what I need to concentrate on for that year. I find the word gives me direction in goal setting and evaluation.

My word for this year is “focus.”

Maybe it’s an age thing, clutter, too much to do, mental laziness or the allure of smart devices and socials media, but I find it much too easy to get sidetracked. I start something and before I know it, I’m down some rabbit hole, a long way from where I started.

There is tremendous value and power in focus, whether we’re taking a picture, working on a proj-

ect, shooting a free throw, writing a paper or tackling a goal.

The better we are able to concentrate, the more effective we are. How much we focus will determine how well we finish.

What are you focusing

on? What is there in your life right now that warrants deep attention and concentration? For those of us who are followers of Jesus, the ultimate object of focus is Jesus himself.

The author of the biblical book, Hebrews, writes: “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”

(Hebrews 12:1-2) Fixing our eyes on Jesus.

He is our model for living, and becoming like him is our goal. Focusing on Jesus helps us run the race of life with perseverance and finish well. Come on… focus.

Dancer to PuSh the envelope

Francesca Frewer part of world premiere entry at performing arts festival 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

Contemporary dancer Francesca Frewer will hit the stage later this month in the debut performance of Loop, Lull, one of six world premiere entries by Vancouver’s Company 605 at the 15th annual PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.

Born and raised in Ladner and a graduate of Delta Secondary, Frewer started dancing at the age of four.

“I had different dreams back then, thinking about ballet as many young girls dream of at that age, but it became clear to me long before I finished high school and left Ladner I was more interested in contemporary dance and I was very lucky to be supported a lot by my teachers and my parents as well to follow what I wanted to do,” Frewer said.

Devoting her creative efforts to choreography as well as performance, Frewer has had work presented at various venues and festivals. She also teaches contemporary dance periodically at TSV Vancouver’s Working Class, Harbour Dance Centre and Dancing On The Edge BC. She has been with Company 605 for a little over a year.

“It’s been very collaborative. I really appreciate the way that they work.

Contemporary dancer Francesca Frewer will hit the stage later this month in the debut performance of Loop, Lull, one of several entries by Company 605 at the 15th annual PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.

They are very clear with us about what they need and what they ask of us, but also give us a lot of freedom and we are able to share our thoughts and feelings,” she said.

PuSH is presented from Jan. 17 to Feb. 3 at various venues across the Lower Mainland and will feature 26 works from 13 countries.

The hypnotic work begins in Loop, Lull with five dancers, each trapped in their own loop of motion and gesture. They change their movements

in response to each other, while at the same time manipulating the space around them with lighting, music and ambient noise.

Gradually the performers merge, attempting increasingly complex feats, and with these interactions come new rules, new restrictions, new compromises. By the time the dancers are moving as a group, their multiple obligations — to the lighting, to the sound loops and to each other — are so demanding they’re working at the brink of impos-

sibility.

“It’s been a long process. When I started working with them about a year ago they were already working on it,” Frewer said. “There have been a few different versions along the way and what we did at the beginning will be quite different from what we will be showing at the end of the month.”

She said she is excited to be debuting the performance at PuSH, her first time at the festival.

“We have a really lovely community in the contem-

porary dance and performance scene, so I feel very grateful to be surrounded by so many kind and supportive peers,” she said.

“Often I will have a whole row of family members at my shows, so it’s really great.”

Loop, Lull is at the Scotiabank Dance Centre Jan. 21 and 22 and Jan. 28 and 29. All shows are at 7 p.m.

Music Makers are still going strong 36 years later

After completing a highly successful 35th anniversary concert schedule last year, the Delta Music Makers are embarking on an ambitious lineup of new music and concerts in 2019.

Over the years the band has become a mainstay for lovers of music residing in Delta and surrounding communities.

“When I started the band so many years ago, little did I know we would be continuing to this day,” says Curt Jantzen, founder of Delta Music Makers.

“We’ve always strived to provide aspiring musicians with a friendly, creative environment to expand their musical abilities and

In addition to a regular concert schedule, the

Music Makers will also host the annual Ladner

Bandfest on June 1 and 2 at Memorial Park.

The band is always on the lookout for new members, especially trumpet and clarinet players, with at least high school experience. Even if you haven’t played for many years, the band will help you catch up.

Rehearsals take place Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. at Delta Secondary in Ladner. If anyone would like to join they are asked to contact Jantzen at cjband7@gmail.com.

A list of concert dates will be published on the band’s website, www.deltamusicmakers.org, and in future editions of the Optimist.

The Delta School District will be showcasing its academy offerings at an open house this Saturday in Ladner.

Open house offers chance to learn about academies 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 public will get a chance to learn all about the Delta School District’s academies at an open house this Saturday in Ladner.

The annual event, set to run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the district office (4585 Harvest Dr.), will feature performances, interactive activities and an opportunity to speak with teachers and coaches who run the academies as well as students enrolled in them.

“It’s an invitation to the entire community — North (Delta) and South Delta — to come out and learn more about all the programs we offer,” said district vice principal Paige Hansen. “Each program coordinator will have a booth set up and in lots of cases instructors will be on hand as well, so you can walk around and talk to each teacher and learn about what the program has to offer.”

Delta offers several

sports academies, including baseball, golf, soccer, lacrosse, softball and will soon offer basketball.

Its fine arts academies include dance, film acting, film production, performance academy with the Vancouver Opera and film visual effects, which is new this year.

“This has seen a really incredible experience for these students,” said Hansen. “When we started with the film acting academy 10 years ago we realized that kids also wanted to make films, so then we started the film production academy, which has been very strong. Kids are empowered to be creative with the help and support of many people who actually work in the film industry.

“From there we realized that the visual effects community is really the second or third largest hub right here in Vancouver, so the access that we have to that community is huge.”

Jim Hebb, founder of The Embassy VFX, is the

“The kind of training that students are getting in all the film academies are unparalleled to anything that is going on in the Lower Mainland,” said Hansen. “Our kids are going onto Cap University, Vancouver Film School and then going onto careers in film. But more than that, during their years in school, they are finding a connection to their education in a very powerful way.

“They are feeling very engaged and creating a real community at school, so that’s another special thing about academies.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS

QUESTION What is the difference between mold and mildew?

QUESTION:

Can I rent my house out while its for sale?

Perhaps your property is already rented and you wish to sell.

Or perhaps its sitting empty on the market and hasn’t sold.

If finances are tight, you might be considering renting it out in the mean time.

ANSWER Both mold and mildew are types of fungus that thrive in moist, humid conditions where a light source is either poor or non-existent. Both grow when spores, or seeds, find their way into suitable environments for colonies to grow. Both need porous, organic material to grow on (ie. wood, fabric, paper, clothing, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding, upholstery, foods, etc. but rarely on synthetic material.

ANSWER:

David Moore

Of course you can always rent it. But there are some major considerations to consider.

If it is already leased, you will need to communicate to buyers that they will need to honor the lease date.

The lease or rental agreement runs with the property and is not extinguished as a result of the sale.

If the property is or will be rented on a monthly term, then the tenancy can only be ended on very specific terms.

A buyer looking for an investment may value the existing tenancy in place, but won’t be able to evict unless they plan to move in.

A seller may also want to consider that the property may or may not show as well to potential buyers.

Also consider that tenants have very specific rights when it come to arranging showings, giving notice, and more.

Any professional Realtor should be able to explain what the rules are.

But only an experienced Realtor or Property Manager can tell you what they mean

Differences between mold and mildew are in appearance. Mildew is usually a white or gray substance that is powdery or fuzzy in texture. Mold is usually black, yellow, or green in color and extremely fuzzy or slimy in texture. Severe mold growth will look moss or plant-like and can begin to eat away at the cellular integrity of its host.

Mold can also be extremely toxic for their hosts and for the people who come into contact with it. As mold grows, the fungi release mycotoxins into the environment.

Long-term exposure to these mycotoxins can cause a variety of symptoms such as skin irritation, eye irritation, shortness of breath, high fevers, and other allergic reactions.

Keep typically damp areas dry by running a dehumidifier or allowing air to circulate through the area. Rooms like bathrooms and kitchens should be cleaned and sanitized frequently to prevent spores from finding a suitable place to grow mold or mildew.

QUESTION:

QUESTION

How do tankless water heaters work, and how long do they last?

My parents have hearing aids and I want each pair to last as long as possible. How can I help with this?

ANSWER:

ANSWER Just like a beloved car, hearing aids perform their best (and for the longest) when they are regularly cleaned, checked and maintained with care: • Always keep hearing aids dry. Make sure they are removed before going swimming, taking a shower, or applying hairspray.

Mark Nickel

BC-HIP, BBA

Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

• Get into the habit of cleaning hearing aids everyday. Never use household cleaning products, oil, or water to clean them – instead, use the small brush that was included with the hearing aids and a clean cloth. (If you no longer have the brush or wax filters that originally came with the hearing aids, your hearing health provider will often provide you with replacements free of charge.)

• Get hearing aids regularily cleaned and checked by a professional. Consider this person your hearing mechanic! We recommend having them professionally checked and cleaned every 4-6 months, but you should never hesitate to make an appointment to have them looked at if you notice a problem with them in the meantime.

Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268

Tankless water heaters work on demand – they only heat water when necessary. Instead of wasting energy and money re-heating and storing water when it is not needed, Tankless water heaters provide only as much hot water as needed. Tank type water heaters store and heat water at all times, thus incurring higher operating costs.

They have a limited supply of hot heater and will run out of hot water while tankless water heaters provide an unlimited supply of hot water – you will never run out. The size of a residential tankless water heater is about the size of a carry on suitcase and with a few exceptions, can be installed virtually anywhere inside your home.

Using a tankless water heater will allow a home to use up to 50% less energy for heating water, which can save hundreds of dollars per year. Tankless water heaters can last 20 or more years, which by todays manufacturing standards, is 2-3 times longer than a traditional tank type heater. Apply now for your Fortis rebate and save up to $500.00.

The same principles apply for much larger systems, such as a whole building Boiler Room. There is newer, much more energy efficient systems that can save a vast amount of money in operating costs as well as being much more environmentally friendly. Fortis has very large rebate programs for these conversions.

QUESTION:

QUESTION:

I see that gold has gone up a lot in November and December.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “PORT” YOUR MORTGAGE?

I had been planning to bring in my old gold jewelry and was wondering if this meant that scrap gold has gone up.

ANSWER:

ANSWER:

Since the beginning of November gold has gone up $1214 US to $1294 as of today.

That is a $80 US dollar jump.

Porting means keeping your mortgage … but changing your home. Essentially you are picking up your current mortgage with its terms and conditions and moving it to a new home. Porting your mortgage will save you a costly penalty or allow you to keep an attractive mortgage rate. Lenders will require an up to date credit application and will want to review the details of the new property before approving the “port”. If you’re looking at a larger home you also may also qualify to add-on to the mortgage.

Contact your mortgage professional for details.

However the Canadian dollar has gone down and that increases gold.

Gold went from $1615 CDN to a high of $1750 CDN before settling at $1720 today.

This is a $105 Canadian jump.

We calculate or price for gold jewelry ever day and with the price increasing, so are our prices.

We separate the gold by Karat, 10k, 14k etc.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

1140-56th St. Tsawwassen 604-943-0141

100% CANADIAN OWNED

With our Gold Analyzer we are able to identify the Karat of worn, broken or unmarked jewelry with exact precision.

Our high prices paid have encouraged multiple Thrift stores and charities to bring their donations to sell us.

One Thrift store says we are paying them more than double what they were getting elsewhere.

Regarding the traveling buyers that you received flyers from, I had a lady that was offered $500 for all of here items by them.

We paid her $2800 and there is diamond a ring still to be dealt with.

More about those travelling buyers next month.

Surprise your local merchant by paying with cash

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

There I was: at the dry cleaner, picking up a coat, a sweater and two pairs of pants. The attendant

turned on the whirlygo-round — or whatever it happens to be called — and waited until my apparel arrived.

“Here you go,” she said, placing the hangers on a bar. “Will that be credit or debit?”

I handed her a $50 bill.

“That will be cash,” I said.

“Oh, my!” she exclaimed. “You certainly don’t see that much any more!”

I’m not entirely clear whether the attendant was talking about the $50 bill

or about cash in general, but I suspect it was the latter.

I think she’s probably right.

Poll any number of people who work in the retail, restaurant and service industries (and I imagine you’d do this only if you were truly desperate to make mindless conversation) and I’m certain you’d be told exactly this: Cash has gone the way of the passenger pigeon, the woolly mammoth, the dodo bird and the, well, you get the idea.

You rarely see it any more.

Me? It’s debit all the way for pretty much everything on my spending list. You name it. Groceries. Gas. Wine. Fast-food burgers, book-store calendars and drug-store cosmetics.

And yes, dry cleaning.

The husband’s the same.

I don’t think he’s had cash in his pockets since the days we needed a babysitter, and that wasn’t exactly yesterday.

It wasn’t always thus.

It used to be that before I

headed for the bus, I’d run around the house, desperately looking for coins under the cushions of the chesterfields.

But no need for that any more. It’s a card all the way. Money? So old school.

But perhaps not entirely. If I dared drop into the local donut shop and tried to pay by credit card for a butter cream, I’d likely be met with a scowl. That would be as odd, oh, as trying to pay for a $1.05 donut with a $50 bill.

Not far down the road,

however, I reckon I will be settling up with someone — the attendant at the dry cleaner, the server at the pub, the cashier at the grocery store — hand over a couple of bills and be met with a puzzled look.

What’s this, their mind balloons will be saying?

A piece of paper emblazoned with an image of a late prime minister?

Yep, it’s coming, all right.

Hang on to those bills while you have them, folks. They might be worth millions one day.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q:

QUESTION: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY LOOSE DENTURES?

When is the right time to get your house on the market?

ANSWER:

Hoil Kim Denturist / Dental Technician

The most common reason for loose fitting dentures is due to bone resorption (bone shrinkage). When this happens you will notice that the denture doesn’t fit as well as it used to which could cause discomfort and food to get underneath the denture. You may also start to notice clicking noises when you talk and have difficulty in eating.

The solution to any of the above symptoms could be as simple as an adjustment, reline, or possibly a replacement denture.

FROM THE PROS I am planning on travelling soon; what are some of the best ways that I can keep myself healthy so I can enjoy my trip?

Ans. Congratulations on your plans, travel is a great way to recharge and get a new perspective on life. The best way to maximize your enjoyment from your travels is to do everything possible to keep your body healthy. The key to staying healthy is pre-trip preparation, ideally starting 6 weeks or more before you travel. Discuss your travel plans with your physician or pharmacist in regards to recommended travel-specific vaccinations, techniques for minimizing exposure to insect/food/water borne diseases and any specific health needs.

A: A large majority of medical treatment providers (including doctors, physiotherapists, massage therapists or chiropractors) keep notes of each visit you make to them, regardless whether it is before or after an accident. Those notes are called clinical records. There is a huge variation between doctors and therapists in our province in their ability to record accurate and comprehensive clinical notes. This leaves you at the mercy of the doctor or therapist as to whether they are accurately recording what you tell them and the level of detail they put into their notes.

ICBC spends a great deal of effort in getting all of the clinical records from your treating medical professionals that you may have seen both before, and after the accident. ICBC will go through all the notes and records with extreme care to find inconsistencies, lack of reporting, and any other information they can use to minimize your claim. While you have little control over whether your treatment providers are good note-takers, you should give them the opportunity to take your complaints by being as accurate and detail orientated as possible in your self-reporting of symptoms and ailments. It is safe to move forward on the basis that whatever you tell your doctor or other treatment providers, it will show up in your clinical records and ICBC will at some point see it. Your medical treatment providers have a duty to make sure that everything significant is recorded in your clinical records. While you do not want to embellish your symptoms, you also want to make sure you do not down play your pain and discomfort.

Q: I am afraid of the dentist. Will sedation work for me?

Dr. Raj Dhiman 604-946-9588

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

Twins up for Team of the Year

Megan and Nicole McNamara named finalists for Sport BC’s annual awards MARK BOOTH

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

Beach volleyball standouts Megan and Nicole McNamara are finalists for Sport BC’s Team of the Year Award.

The McNamaras are up against the Minto Cup champion Coquitlam Adanacs junior lacrosse team and the rowing pair of Hillary Janssens and Caileigh Filmer from Cloverdale. The winner will be announced March 13 at the 53rd annual awards ceremony and gala dinner at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver.

The twins from Tsawwassen enjoyed an outstanding season around the globe, including leading the UCLA Bruins to their first-ever NCAA beach volleyball national championship with All-Tournament Team honours.

They were also among eight pairs from across the US to receive All-American status for the third consecutive time.

That’s on top of Nicole being named Pac-12 Player of the Year and the sisters earning Pac12 Pair of Year as the Bruins’ No. 1 team.

The South Delta Secondary graduates enjoyed plenty of success elsewhere including a gold medal run in Germany last July at the World University Beach Volleyball Championships. A month later they were crowned Canadian champions at the Beach Volleyball Nationals in Toronto.

The 21-year-olds also spent time on the pro circuit — winning silver at the NORCECA stop in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic in October and a fourth place finish at a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour in Mexico to conclude their competitive season.

They are now preparing for their senior year at UCLA. The 53rd Annual Sport BC Awards Ceremony and Gala dinner is set for March 13 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. The ceremonies will recognize BC’s best in amateur sport including athletes, coaches,

A memorable 2018 for Tsawwassen beach volleyball standouts Megan and Nicole McNamara included leading the UCLA Bruins to the NCAA national championship. and officials for outstanding performances in their sport over the 2018 season.

Each finalist was nominated by their Provincial or Multi-Sport Organization, High

School, College or University. The Selection Committee, chaired by Bernie Pascall, included 15 highly regarded sportswriters, broadcasters, and amateur sport leaders in BC.

Busy international stretch for Tsawwassen rugby standout Jarvis Dashkewytch is racking up the air miles to begin the new year as a up-and-coming standout with Rugby Canada.

The 18-year-old from Tsawwassen was in Vina Del Mar, Chile last weekend as a member of Canada’s National Men’s Sevens Development Team for the final leg of the South America Rugby Sevens.

Dashkewytch also learned last week he has been named to Canada’s U20 15s team for an upcoming tour of Portugal and Spain.

The trip is planned for Feb. 13-25 with two matches against Portugal in Lisbon, followed by a U20 tournament with France, Spain and Portugal in Valladolid on Feb 23-24. Each of the four teams will play each other in 50 min games over the weekend.

The roster was finalized following a five-day

Tsawwassern’s Jarvis Dashkewytch on the beach in Chile with Canadian teammates at last weekend’s South America Sevens. selection camp in Shawnigan Lake.

Once the team returns home from Europe,

there will be regional camps during the last week of March. The final squad will then congregate at Shawnigan Lake in mid-May to prepare for two matches against the United States.

The winning team, based on a two-game aggregate score, will for to Brazil in July for the World Trophy.

Dashkewytch was a multi-sport standout growing up who backstopped the Delta Islanders to the Midget A1 provincial lacrosse championship in 2016. He also thrived on the football field with a dominant South Delta Rams team that won three straight VMFL and BC titles without losing game.

He recently turned much of his focus to rugby and moved to Victoria and the Canadian Sports School for his Grade 12 year to be based at Rugby Canada’s national training centre.

Thunder earn split with Edmonton The Edmonton WAM! came to town with the best record in the National Ringette League and probably left with a new level of respect for the BC Thunder.

The host team more than held its own with the Alberta juggernaut in a four-game series — earning a split.

The Thunder are now responsible for all four of Edmonton’s losses this season (15-3-0) thanks to a road win back in November too.

The games were showcased as part of Richmond Ringette’s 24th annual West Coast Classic that brought over 60 teams to the Richmond Ice Centre to battle for a variety of division titles.

The Thunder are guided by longtime Richmond Ringette coach and Ladner native Troy Takasaki in his first-year behind the bench. His daughter Hailey is also a member of the team in her rookie season. Both helped Richmond capture the U19 Western Canadian title last spring.

BC served notice with a 4-2 win Saturday morning to open the series.

Sarah MacDonald was outstanding in net with 54 saves as Edmonton enjoyed a 56-31 advantage in shots.

Nina Tajbakhsh led the Thunder with

BC Thunder earned a four-game split with division-leading Edmonton in National Ringette League action. three goals. Takasaki also scored.

Edmonton bounced back in the evening tilt with a 6-1 win. Kacy Hannesson’s third quarter goal prevented a shutout.

It looked like the WAM! was on its way to another win Sunday morning when the Thunder roared back from a 5-2 third quarter deficit to pull out a thrilling 6-5 win in a shootout.

Fourth quarter goals by Takasaki and Tajbakhsh completed the comeback.

The visitors then capped the exciting series with a 6-5 win on Sunday afternoon in Ladner.

The results leave BC with a 10-70-1 record and comfortably in third spot in the NRL Western Conference.

The Thunder has two series left to conclude the regular season.

Thin blueline doesn’t slow down Ice Hawks MARK BOOTH

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

Liam Visram thrives on plenty of ice time and that’s a good thing these days for the Delta Ice Hawks.

The 18-year-old logged at least 25 minutes in the Hawks’ 5-2 victory over the Grandview Steelers on Tuesday night in Ladner. It also happened to be his fifth game in as many days after being called-up by the BC Hockey League’s Nanaimo Clippers for their three-game road trip in the interior on the weekend and also suiting up in Monday’s Pacific Junior Hockey League All-Star Game in Maple Ridge.

Under different circumstances, Ice Hawks’ GM and head coach Steve Robinson might have eased the workload for his best defenceman. But not when he only had five available for the Grandview game.

Last Thursday’s roster deadline came and went with Robinson not making any

additions. However, he did lose South Delta product Jesse Conroy to the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles. That leaves the club with just Callum MacDonald, Nick Marsh, Ryan Bayley, Jake Dowell and Visram as available d-man for the balance of the season. “(Conroy going to Surrey) happened about 90 minutes before the deadline,” said Robinson. “I was spending a good chunk of the day kind of monitoring the wire and trying to pick up d-man then at 2:30 I get that call. Now I need two of them and now everyone in the league knows it at that point.

“Visram has become this year’s version of (2017-18 standout Aiden Hansen-Bukuta). He is just a keener.”

Forward Mark Epshtein, who is third on the team with 18 goals, took a regular shift on the blueline Tuesday. Rookie forward Dillon Maher is also capable playing at the back.

Long term, Tsawwassen’s Thomas Garey, a regular a year ago, is available for two more

games as an AP and could join the club full-time once his juvenile season is over in early February with South Delta.

Robinson is also working on some other potential late additions but for now is looking ahead to key weekend road games with the Abbotsford Pilots (Friday) and Grandview (Sunday). The Hawks (24-7-2-3) sit tied with Richmond (25-72-1) for second overall in the league standings — just four points back of first place North Van (28-8-01) while the Pilots (23-10-1-1) lurk five points back of them.

With regular top six forward Jordin Kojima serving a onegame suspension, Jihwan Kim was inserted into a prominent role alongside veterans Jordan Deyrmenjian and Daniel Rubin.

The 17-year-old rookie made the most of the opportunity with a hat trick. He entered Tuesday’s game with two goals in 24 games.

“We felt like it was bound to come with him. We watch him

Ice Hawks captain Jordan Deyrmenjian was denied on this scoring chance in Tuesday’s 5-2 win over Grandview. in practice and you see his skill and figure he is just got to get a bounce. A lot of it is confidence,” added Robinson. “When he sees the line up card it’s got to get

you a little excited. Hopefully it springboards him back to being what he thought he was going to be. I think (tonight) it will do a ton for confidence.”

High school invitational attracts over 100 gymnasts

Delta Gymnastics Society hosted 115 student athletes for its 6th annual High School Invitational.

The event, sponsored in part by Kwantlen Polytechnic University, attracted participants from schools throughout the Lower Mainland, as well as Vancouver Island.

“The high school gymnastics program is unique in that it provides athletes ranging from beginners to competitive level the opportunity to compete for their schools,” explained Tessa Jansen, Delta Gymnastics High School Program Coordinator.

“Typically, there are very few high school gymnastics competitions, so athletes appreciate the opportunity to perform their routines in a competitive environment.”

Delta Gymnastics’ sixth annual High School Invitational brought together 115 student athletes.

Delta’s meet has seen incredible growth in the last six years.

“We used to have about 50 athletes in our earlier years, so we are very pleased to see the interest and participation growing,” continued Jansen.

All athletes who participated at the event will be training to qualify for the B.C. Secondary Schools Gymnastics Championships that will take place at South Delta Secondary in March 7- 9.

Highlights from the Delta High School Invitational included Jaime Terada, (Seaquam) who finished third and Isabelle Popovich, (South Delta) who was fourth in the Level 1 competition. Anna Marsden

(Delta Secondary), Kaiya Chow (Southpointe Academy) and Melanie Hopkins, (South Delta) finished third, fourth and fifth respectively in the Level 2 competition.

“It was a very good experience for the athletes and they can look at what they are doing right and skills they need to continue to work on.” added Jansen.

“We will be hosting the high school zone event on January 26 and the Fraser Valley Championships on February 9, which are two other great chances for the athletes to perform and qualify for provincials.”

Delta Gymnastics Society offers programs from infants to seniors at their Ladner facility year-round. For information of events, programs and activities visit www.deltagymnastics.com.

Elite 15s thrive on home ice to win Winter Classic

PHOTO BY MARK BOOTH

Delta Wild Elite 15s defeated Shawnigan Lake 4-0 en route to capturing their own DHA Winter Classic at Planet Ice last weekend.

TSAWWASSEN

Delta Hockey Academy’s Elite 15 team continued its terrific season-long rivalry with the Burnaby Winter Club Academy, this time in the championship game of its own Second Annual Midget Winter Classic at Planet Ice. The hosts rode the terrific goaltending of Roan Clarke for a 2-1 victory. Each team went into the final with perfect 5-0 records and BWC enjoyed a 41-20 margin in shots but the Cloverdale native’s play proved to be the differDelta Wild Elite 15s celebrate a goal. ence.

Earlier, the Wild went 4-0 in round-robin play with wins over Shawnigan Lake (4-0), Prince George (8-4), Everett (3-0) and St. George’s (3-2) in a shootout. Delta then topped Yale 6-2 in the semis.

In two earlier regular season meetings with BWC, the Wild prevailed 4-3 on Nov. 10 and Burnaby returned the favour with a 4-3 shootout win. The teams are slated to meet again in Canadian School Sport Hockey League play on Feb. 10 and March 3.

Burnaby currently tops the standings with 23-2-3 record. Delta sits third at 20-5-3.

The Wild are coached by Rick Lanz and assistant Brent Thurston.

The team’s roster includes 13 players from Surrey, four from Delta and four from Langley.

The Winter Classic Midget Prep Division saw Calgary’s Edge School defeat Phoenix in the championship game.

He will be greatly missed by his loving family: mother Heather Hutchinson; his brothers Steve (Corena), Mike (Suzy), Dan Anderson (Connie); and his nephew James Ferridge, niece Kristen Ferridge, and nephew Ryan Anderson.

He was predeceased by his father Bill Ferridge, Grandma Kay from Davis Bay, Grandma June from Saskatoon and Uncle John Hutchinson.

BJ was born in Toronto and raised in Ladner. For much of his life, he rallied to overcome the impact of schizophrenia. However mental illness was not all that defined him. He was an insightful young man, which he often shared with us through his razor-sharp sense of humour. He had a tender heart, with a soft spot for animals - in particular, his cat Kitty. He enjoyed cooking, listening to 70s & 80s rock music with his brother Steve, and trips to White Rock with Mom. He particularly looked forward to spending time with his best friend and champion, brother Mike.

“Break on through to the other side” Until we are reunited BJ, Rest In Peace.

A memorial is planned at the Ladner United Church, Ladner, on February 23, 2019, 2pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations to Ladner United Church Extreme Weather Shelter.

It is with tremendous sorrow and broken hearts t h a t w e a n n o u n c e t h e p a s s i n g o f o u r d e a r, beautiful wife, mother, grandmother and sister.

Bev passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. She is predeceased by parents Dick and Ethel Jones and sister Marlene (Ian) Anderson.

She is survived by husband Clive; daughters Tracy (Ed) Wind, Janice (Mike) Rosychuk; grandchildren Scott, Amanda, Richard; brother Rick (Heidi) Jones; and many nieces and nephews and extended family in Canada, the U.S. and Australia.

Born and raised in Vancouver, she later resided in Richmond, Surrey and Ladner. Although Bev worked in her earlier years, it was her time spent at home with family that was the most rewarding.

She volunteered as a Girl Guide Leader and was an active member of the Thompson Community Association. She supported her girls and grandchildren in their various activities and was proud of their accomplishments.

Gardening was her passion and she took great pride in her beautiful flower beds. Her creativity led to designing floral arrangements and Bev’s Floral Boutique was born.

She was a kind, warm, gentle soul who made friends easily. She had a beautiful smile and her laugh was infectious. Her selflessness, devotion and love will never be forgotten.

WELOCK, Jean Gordon (née Inglis) July 6, 1917 - January 6, 2019 Jean Gordon Welock, the last of her generation’s family, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2019, in The Waterford Care Centre in Tsawwassen, where she had resided since 2010. She passed on the day of her 101.5 birthday. Jean was predeceased in 2002 by her loving husband, Howard. She leaves behind her daughter Sylvia and son-in-law Roger Pryke, son Gordon Welock and daughter-in-law Brenda. Her legacy is carried on by her precious Pryke grandsons Graham (Nicola) and Colin (Georgia), and five delightful great-grandchildren, James, Madeline, Beatrice, Olivia and Oscar.

Jean was born in July 1917 in London where her father was stationed during the First World War. Her family moved back to Vancouver when she was very young. She later attended John Oliver High School and then Normal School to become an Elementary School teacher. Jean and Howard married in 1948 and settled in South Burnaby in 1954. She taught for many years in the Surrey School District, where she tried diligently to teach her students the MacLean Method of handwriting and correct grammar. Jean was a wonderful mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend to many. She was an avid reader and bridge player.

In her later years, she struggled with macular degeneration and was most appreciative of the CNIB talking books. Like the true “lady” she was, she dealt with her trials and disappointments with dignity and grace. Jean was a role model for many. There will be no service, but a family gathering at a later date.
