Fentanyl trial gets underway

Charge stems from 2016 evening when nine overdosed in 20-minute span 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 man at the centre of a suspected multiple fentanyl overdose case in South Delta in 2016 is now on trial.

The trial for Daniel Chun Chesshire began on Tuesday in New Westminster Supreme Court with instructions to the jury of 10 women and two men from Justice Nathan Smith, an opening address from Crown prosecutor Adrienne Switzer and the first Crown witness.

Chesshire was facing

one count of trafficking in cocaine and one count of trafficking in fentanyl, however on Monday he entered a guilty plea to the cocaine charge.

Smith has also issued an order prohibiting the publication of the names of any civilian witnesses.

The court heard that in the early hours on Sept.

1, 2016, within a 20-minute span, police received reports of overdoses from three separate locations in South Delta involving nine young adults. In each case, the victims reported respiratory problems, including one person in full cardiac

arrest. Delta firefighters and paramedics used Narcan (Naloxone) on six of those who were suffering overdoses. All were treated in hospital.

“This is a case of the drug fentanyl,” said Switzer. “One witness will testify that he purchased drugs that he believed to be cocaine from Mr. Chesshire twice during the course of that evening and into the next morning. When he ingested some of those drugs from the second purchase he suffered an overdose. The Crown also anticipates that three other victims

will also testify to the fact that they took some of the drugs and also suffered overdoses.”

Switzer said two other witnesses will also testify they too bought drugs from Chesshire and also overdosed.

She said she will also call several Delta police investigators who will testify to the drugs that were found at the locations of the overdoses.

The first witness to testify spoke of the night in question, how a group of friends started the evening drinking at a local pub and then went to another

friend’s house to have a couple more drinks to end the night.

He said the home was on or near 12th Avenue in Tsawwassen.

“After leaving the pub we drove a few blocks to the house. I recall it was across the street from the library,” he testified.

Crown anticipates finishing its case this week with defence attorney Garry MacDonald presenting his case early next week.

MacDonald said he plans to call one medical expert and Chesshire to the stand.

Wildlife officials have begun trying to solve a deadly mystery at the Tsawwassen First Nation.

Environment and Climate Change Canada officers retrieved 31 dead ducks discovered floating in a man-made pond on the shore facing the Tsatsu Shores condominium complex Tuesday afternoon.

Concerned residents of the complex, literally a few metres from the pond, called to report the disturbing sight in what appears to be mass death due to some kind of poisoning or contamination.

An officer told a resident after the animals had been retrieved and bagged that water samples would be taken and necropsies performed, but it could be difficult to ascertain the cause unless there’s some-

thing obvious still in the water. He asked her to call if there are any more dead waterfowl.

The resident told the Optimist a dead swan was also floating in the reeds.

Another resident at the scene, Jim Northey, said he’s pretty sure something poured into the pond from a runoff pipe which goes down the steep hill from the Stahaken subdivision above.

Someone appears to

have poured some kind of chemical waste into the storm sewer that runs into the pond, he said.

Northey said residents are obviously concerned what’s ending up in there because they are in such proximity.

He added the pipe had originally discharged straight into the ocean before the TFN built the pond several years ago.

Northey said he wants the pond removed.

A man remains in hospital with serious injuries after he was struck by a tandem dump truck on 56th Street in Tsawwassen Tuesday.

The collision forced Delta police to close the main thoroughfare between 14th and 16th avenues for several hours in the afternoon.

Police say the driver of the dump truck remained on scene and is fully cooperating with police.

DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said the cause of the collision is under investigation.

“Investigators were on scene until 10 p.m.

Tuesday night,” Lekauf told the Optimist Wednesday morning.

“There has been significant speculation on social media about what may have happened. At this point in the investigation it is still too early to say what took place.”

Officer stabbed at school has been released from hospital

Other victim remains in hospital; suspect facing four charges 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

John Jasmins says he will be forever indebted to the Delta police for the swift response to last week’s double stabbing outside North Delta’s Immaculate Conception elementary school.

The acting sergeant was stabbed along with a 41-year-old Delta woman by a 49-year-old Delta man who is facing numerous charges.

Jasmins, who was offduty at the time of the incident, was outside the school waiting to pick up his A/Sgt. John kids Jasmins when he saw an altercation between the suspect and the female victim.

He intervened and was stabbed multiple times along with the female.

Jasmins spent several days in hospital, but was released over the weekend, while the female victim is considered in stable condition in hospital.

“Although she is continuing to slowly improve, she has a long recovery ahead of her,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “A/Sgt.

PHOTO COURTESY OF DELTA POLICE

Delta police Chief Neil Dubord called A/Sgt. John Jasmins a hero while providing an update on the stabbing at a press conference in Vancouver last week.

John Jasmins was released from the hospital on the weekend and is continuing to recover at home. He is doing well and is humbled by the outpouring of support he has received from everyone within Delta police, the greater law enforcement family and, of course, the public.”

In a message he sent to staff at DPD the day he went home, he relayed that he will be forever indebted to his police brothers and sisters who arrived on scene within minutes to help take the suspect into custody, provide aid to the victim, keep the children, parents and staff safe, and tend to his wounds.

“I will never forget the

sound of those beautiful sirens, and those police boots running towards me, my brothers and sisters coming to help me,” said Jasmins. “I’ve received so many warm thoughts, messages, cards, visits and outpouring of support from my greater law enforcement family and the public that it has truly been humbling and overwhelming.”

Jasmins is anticipated to make a full recovery, and expects to be back on the job as soon as possible.

George Manoj is facing two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of assault with a weapon. He has no criminal record and was not known to police.

Police have confirmed

he was in a relationship with the woman, but have not said what might have sparked the confrontation outside the school.

DPD Chief Neil Dubord said although such incidents are a rare occurrence in Delta, the department was ready to respond.

“Our officers performed at an extremely high level,” he said. “I am so proud of the actions of all our officers responding to this incident. We train for these type of incidents and it paid off.”

Supt. Kelly Young said police are asking any witnesses who have yet to come forward to speak with police, and share any video or photos.

Ladner moms troubled by racist vandalism at daughters’ school 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 act of racist vandalism at Ladner Elementary has parents angry.

During the B.C. Day holiday weekend someone used a marker to draw obscene images on walls and windows, including swastikas and messages using the “N” word.

Vandals reportedly also hit nearby Delta Secondary.

What was especially troubling for a pair of Ladner moms was that the word was part of an offensive phrase on the window of the elementary classroom where their girls of mixed race attend.

Saying it was deeply troubling for her daughter, Julia Johnson said the school only seemed to make an issue out of it a day later after she and fellow parent Kary Blaney complained to the principal.

Johnson said although she can’t say for sure, the message seemed to target their daughters who sit where the obscene note

Racist vandalism was found at Ladner Elementary over the recent long weekend. was left.

“The words were written on tape and it’s right where they happen to sit.

I didn’t see the other windows, but that’s what got me concerned,” she told the Optimist.

Noting it’s unfortunate such an act of hate occurred when many are talking about Pink Shirt Day, she said parents were not notified of what occurred until later in the week.

“I think what Kary told the principal pretty well says it. If this was proven to be an adult, this would be called a hate crime. I think because they think it

might have been kids, they could just call it a simple case of vandalism. It just doesn’t seem at the time they took into account the seriousness of this because they didn’t speak to the students right away and tell anything to the parents right away,” she said.

Agreeing the school acted slowly, Blaney said she was informed the racist messages were written backwards on the windows so people inside could read them.

Delta School District spokesperson Jen Hill said when the vandalism was discovered the morning classes were to resume

following the holiday, the principal immediately removed the offensive figures and messages but, unfortunately, missed the one written in small letters on the classroom in question. It was removed as soon as a teacher notified the administration.

Noting the district takes such offensive remarks seriously, whether it’s an adult using spray paint or immature kids drawing penises and writing offensive words with markers, she said the school had talks with students about the seriousness of the issue.

Blaney posted on the Ladner Landing Facebook page about the incident to raise awareness about the racism, saying there have been other acts of racism against kids in the community.

Lice not health concern so students at school

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

Kids who have it shouldn’t be allowed to go to school to pass it on to others.

That’s what one Ladner parent is saying about his child getting head lice on multiple occasions this school year at Hawthorne Elementary.

Asking that his name not be published, he told the Optimist that inadequate action by the school district, coupled with kids who have been found to have lice being permitted to keep attending class, has created a frustrating situation.

“My daughter has contracted lice from the school no less than five times so far this year and it is extremely uncomfortable for her when this happens and also requires that we have to do an extreme clean of her bed and play area…

It just amazes me that that a recurring parasite problem cannot be managed at the source due to privacy concerns,” he told the Optimist via e-mail.

Another parent at

Hawthorne said there are at least nine kids at one grade level who have lice.

She said it’s been a frustrating issue for parents, especially due to a few “chronic cases” that continue to attend class.

Head lice are parasites that only infect human scalps. They are spread by head-to-head contact but do not cause disease.

Delta School District spokesperson Jen Hill said a couple of cases were identified earlier in the school year and about six or seven more recently, however she said there is no “outbreak” at Hawthorne or any other Delta school.

She noted it’s a nuisance that should be managed by families, but is not a health concern.

“Some parents would like to have the kids with lice stay home but we can’t do that because it’s not a health concern and we can’t refuse to give them an education when it’s not a health concern, and it’s not a contagious disease. It’s something that can come back but it’s not an epidemic,” she said.

First-term councillors Alicia Guichon and Dylan Kruger are hopeful a new civic committee can come up with plans to revitalize Ladner Village.

John Stevens and the Delta Fishing Heritage Society have several ideas for the village, including murals and an interpretive centre.

A vision for Ladner Village New civic committee will be looking to revitalize historic commercial district

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 recently-elected Delta council is the latest to take a crack at revitalizing Ladner Village.

Among the newly created civic advisory committees will be the Ladner Village renewal advisory committee, which will feature a couple of councillors and eight community members, including representation from the business and development sectors.

The committee’s mandate includes providing council with advice on the best utilization of Delta-owned buildings in Ladner Village, possible streetscape and waterfront design concepts, branding and marketing, as well as strategic incentives to attract development.

First-term councillor Alicia Guichon, a lifelong Ladner resident and local businesses owner, is excited about the new committee and eager to provide her input.

“At a high level, the focus is to have community advice and feedback on the renewal of Ladner Village. This is not a new endeavor but the thought is that a committee may be the best way to move forward and bring everyone together with their ideas and hopes for what the future of the core will look like. Those that live

and work in the village will have invaluable input, so I really look forward to hearing from those individuals,” she said.

“My goal would be to enhance our already vibrant community and continue to support our local businesses and do right by them throughout this project. My first job was in Ladner Village at the old Uncle Herbert’s fish and chips restaurant.

I have incredibly fond memories throughout my lifetime as a Ladner resident here in the village and we need guidance on where Ladner is heading.

Who knows, maybe my, one day, future sixth generation children can get their first jobs within our lively Ladner Village core just like I did.”

Ladner Business Association president Jill McKnight said she still has to familiarize herself with the city’s new committees, but is encouraged.

“With that said, I believe any opportunity for discussion about ways to encourage engagement in Ladner Village and establish it as a destination to eat, shop, play and enjoy can benefit the local business community,” McKnight said.

The current endeavour is by no means the first crack at revitalizing the village, but despite several attempts, not much has changed in decades, save

for some infill development.

One of the major themes in the South Delta Business Sustainability Strategy, created three years ago to help local businesses adjust to life with the new Tsawwassen First Nation malls, includes the city allowing redevelopment to increase density in places like village as well as a focus on attractive, pedestrianfriendly design.

approved a waterfront mixed-use zone for the public-owned parcels that would permit a wide range of uses, but a key to spurring such redevelopment is being stymied by the province not offering longer term leases for water lots, which the city maintains is discouraging developers.

Also raised in Ladner and another young, firsttime councillor, Dylan Kruger said the city per-

FILE IMAGE

Delta has had plans to redevelop the waterfront but nothing has come to fruition.

According to a consultant retained by Delta to help come up with the strategy, the current building height limits are unlikely to provide sufficient economic incentive to trigger redevelopment.

Delta Street underwent streetscape improvements a couple of years ago, a $6 million project that included a new pedestrian street plaza, lighting and other amenities.

The city earlier

haps needs to start thinking outside the box and bypass the province altogether.

“I’d love to take a look at some unique solutions, such as turning Chisholm Street into a one-way or pedestrian-oriented street in order to bring the waterfront property lines up and circumvent the need for water lot leases altogether. These are the types of bold ideas I hope to discuss with this com-

mittee,” Kruger said.

“I’ve chatted with several Ladner Village business owners and I know they are really looking forward to finally seeing some action and perhaps even some more density on top of Ladner Village.

Businesses really need the extra store traffic that smart density would bring. I know parking is always a concern, but if you’re living above Ladner Village, you don’t need to be getting in your car — everything is right in front of you. Let’s create those housing opportunities that young families and seniors need to stay in our community, and in doing so, create the livable, walkable Ladner Village of the future.”

Meanwhile, the Delta Fishing Heritage Society says it already has ideas to give the area a distinctive theme to encourage visitors. John Stevens said his group has talked to Delta in the hopes of partnering with the city on a number of initiatives.

The society has an old fishing boat, the Persian Fisher, which had been in storage in a barn for many years. The boat needs restoration work but could be a great display item, said Stevens.

He said other ideas include interpretative markings for the historic cannery sites as well as a heritage mural project

that could really put Delta on the map, much like Chemainus.

In a recent interview, he said the society looked into adding a mural to the historic Ladner Fishermen’s Hall, but said it’s something that would benefit the entire village.

“We want to show the community that it could be done and what it looks like, and let’s get on with it and do the whole town.

There’s all kinds of places in Ladner that we could display heritage art,” Stevens said.

The volunteer group had originally eyed the Seven Seas fish plant building or the old Brackman-Ker building on Chisholm Street as potential locations for historical displays or an interpretive centre. However, the Brackman-Ker building collapsed into the harbour a few years ago, while the city has been hoping to eventually use the Seven Seas site for commercial ventures.

Stevens said Ladner Village, especially the waterfront, could have the same feel as the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Britannia Shipyard in Steveston or the Fraser River Discovery Centre in New Westminster, complete with boardwalks, displays and an interpretive centre.

“Ladner would light up with tourism,” he added.

Online deal for Mustang ends up being too good to be true Way: Tsawwassen Mills security contacted the Tsawwassen First Nation service team to report a theft in progress. A male had been observed to be shoplifting sunglasses.

Police located the male matching the description in a vehicle and observed multiple sunglasses and other goods. The male was arrested without incident.

All property recovered.

Say hello to Ramone

Meet oh so handsome Ramone! He is a six year old male Dogo Argentino mix who weighs around 50lbs. This guy is great with other polite dogs, big and small, after a proper introduction. His likes are walks, cuddling, tennis balls and squeaky toys! He loves to jump and chase the ball, so we think Ramone would really enjoy agility or frisbee sports.

Dislikes are cats, running marathons and being left alone, but he is working on being more independent! Ramone is very laid back and is more than happy to spend most of his day sleeping and playing. This guy would really flourish in a home where he receives a lot of love and is part of the family.

As with all of our dogs he is neutered and up-to-date on all shots and vaccines and microchipped. For more info about Ramone, please email us at pbandchi@gmail.com

hen a nuisance that’s not considered a health hazard becomes a continuous pain in the butt, don’t you think more should be done than a simple shrug of the shoulders?

I recognize that lice is not a disease so it doesn’t pose a health risk, but that explanation from the Delta School District and Fraser Health is rather cold comfort for parents who have to deal with the fallout when their child comes home from school with a head full of parasites.

A parent at Hawthorne Elementary got in touch with me late last week to express frustration over the situation at the Ladner school after his daughter had contracted lice five times so far this school year. Every occurrence has necessitated another round of scalp treatment in concert with disinfecting the family’s home.

Because there’s no health risk involved this situation is termed an annoyance, but should parents have to endure this nuisance when there’s a frightfully simple approach that would go a long way to addressing the issue?

Perhaps I’m being a touch old school here, but I don’t think it’s asking too much of parents to make sure they don’t send their kids to class with a head full of creepy crawlers. I understand there will be times when parents do so inadvertently and I also understand there are plenty of other places a child could either transmit or pick up lice, however, given the amount of time kids spend at school, ensuring the classroom doesn’t double as an incubator would more than likely be a significant step forward.

Unfortunately, the school district says it can’t prevent a student from attending class, it can’t refuse them an education, over something that’s not considered a health concern. Fair enough, but don’t the other students -- and by extension their families -have a right to get an education in an environment that’s free from lice? Or at least as free from lice as you can reasonably make it?

Ideally, parental behaviour would make this a non-issue but clearly that hasn’t been the case, at least not at Hawthorne where the cycle repeats itself. I know they say it’s impossible to legislate it, but surely there’s got to be a way to interject some common sense into a situation that’s sadly lacking it.

There’s more to Pink Shirt Day than just wearing a pink shirt

I

always get a little sad at this time of year. It’s mainly because my birthday is in the first part of March, and the number always seems to climb. But it’s also because minor hockey and soccer programs are coming to an end.

I’ve been coaching hockey goalies for about eight years, even after my own kids ended their playing days. I always liked being on the ice and played in goal as a kid. Once I got the coaching bug, I couldn’t give it up. There’s something special about helping a young athlete learn something new and make improvements in their game. The look on their face when they’ve learned a new skill is what keeps me coming back, year after year, despite the pain in my knees and elbows.

As a coach, we are required to take an online program called Respect In Sport (RIS). You watch some videos and answer a few questions at the end. It’s all about treating young athletes with respect. It seems pretty obvious that kids need support and encouragement. For the most part, this is what I see with the teams I work with. For the most part.

Sometimes kids feel that coaches are being mean to them. It’s a hard job for a coach to try and get the best from a player, especially in a rep situation, without

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

being perceived by the child, and maybe the parents, as being a bit tough. It’s a delicate balance. It’s also hard because kids are starting to learn real life lessons, like disappointment in not playing because they need to improve, or losing a game, a tournament or a playoff series. It’s hard, it’s heartbreaking, but it’s part of life.

A coach is supposed to help kids understand these life lessons.

That’s their real job, they just do it through sports. But the line has to be drawn when it’s not just about the game, when things go too far in the locker room or worse, outside the rink or the pitch.

I’ve heard about kids being bullied, and nothing is done.

I’ve heard about kids, and even parents, raising issues, and nothing gets done. There’s a terrible example about a 13-year-old boy in Abbotsford who quit hockey

because he was being bullied and wrote a public resignation. The coaches were aware of the problem, as was the league, and didn’t do anything. The CBC just did a week-long series on the same topic about kids in sports.

People don’t like to speak up because they are afraid they will be seen differently, that it might hurt their chances of being on a rep team the next year, that other people will avoid them. If their concerns are made public, they are sometimes punished even more for “rocking the boat.”

Coaches are great people. They volunteer, they do their best and, sadly, they might not realize the impact their actions, or inactions, have on a child. Without recognizing it, being open to hear about it, without seeking feedback, it can have a detrimental, long-term effect.

Yesterday was Pink Shirt Day, the day we stand up to bullying and say it has to stop. Wearing a pink shirt one day of the year won’t do it alone.

Councillor suggests extending Canada Line across the Fraser Editor: The TransLink Mayors’ Council recently voted in favour of extending the Broadway subway to UBC. This is great news for those who commute from Delta into Vancouver for school or for work.

This announcement builds on the Mayors’ Council’s December 2018 decision to extend SkyTrain to Langley Centre as well as the 2017 completion of the Evergreen Line extension to Coquitlam.

Now that these muchneeded projects are moving forward, it’s time to start talking seriously about a Canada Line extension south of the Fraser River.

It’s no secret that communities south of the Fraser have been historically underserved by public transit. TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond has admitted as much. In his fall address at a Delta Chamber of Commerce luncheon, he noted that TransLink’s 10-year investment plan incorporates a disproportionate amount of new services for commuters in Delta, Surrey, White Rock and Langley in

order to rectify the imbalance.

There’s a strong argument to be made for a Canada Line extension to south Richmond and over a new river crossing — whatever that looks like. In fact, since the provincial government has scrapped the previous plan for a 10-lane bridge and initiated a new consultation process, now is the opportune time to discuss a forwardthinking transportation solution incorporating rapid transit.

The Canada Line extension could run over a multi-use bridge or tunnel, terminating at a new park and ride north of Ladner. The Highway 99 corridor is utilized not just by folks in South Delta, but also those in North Delta, South Surrey and White Rock. All of these communities would benefit from a Canada Line extension.

A terminus station in Delta could pave the way for future expansion to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal and a connection to Scott Road Station.

The Canada Line station at YVR has been a game changer for tourism and connectivity in Metro

Vancouver. A future rapid transit expansion to B.C. Ferries would have similar regional benefits.

I’ve taken an informal and very unscientific poll amongst friends and family who drive into Vancouver daily from Delta and Surrey. The number one hindrance to making the switch to public transportation is the number of transfers.

Commuters aren’t getting out of their cars to take the bus because nobody wants to take two buses and a SkyTrain to get to their final destination.

I support the Mayors’ Council’s recent decisions to move forward with SkyTrain extensions to UBC and Langley Centre.

As we look forward to the next phase in Metro Vancouver’s rapid transit trajectory, I would implore our leaders not to forget Richmond, Delta and the untapped potential of a southbound Canada Line extension.

If we’re going to get serious about a rapid transitoriented future, that’s my vote.

Society shows its best and worst in a week Editor: In the space of seven days we have had news stories that illustrate the best and the worst of Canadian society.

On Feb. 15 we read that some residents of Ontario called 9-1-1 to complain that an Amber Alert - for a child later found murdered - had disturbed their precious sleep. An example of the worst of our selfobsessed society.

Then on Feb. 21 we read

of the heroic actions of an off-duty Delta police officer. A/Sgt. John Jasmins was picking up his own children at Immaculate Conception school when he saw a violent altercation between a man and a woman. Entrusting his children’s safety to other parents, Jasmins came to the woman’s aid and nearly lost his life as a result.

What a contrast.

On one hand a disturbingly large group of

citizens so unconcerned about the safety of their community that they call to complain when asked to help. On the other a single citizen so concerned with the safety of a stranger that he risked his life to protect theirs.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

I have never been prouder to be a retired Delta cop than I am today.

Casino opponents silent on possible TFN option Editor: I have read a lot about the opposition to the casino in Ladner. My preference too would be to not have one in our community, however, if the City of Delta doesn’t have one, what is to stop Tsawwassen First Nation

from having a casino on its land?

Delta has no say if that happens, no control and no tax revenue. On TFN land, the casino is even further embedded into the core of the Tsawwassen and Ladner communities and brings traffic, crime,

etc. right along with it and right next to the businesses and services that many of us use, including our youth.

I have yet to hear the “no casino” proponents’ thoughts on this very real possibility.

Rare ‘snow day’ ensures that everyone stays safe

Editor: Re: Bleeding hearts at it again with snow days, letter to the editor, Feb. 21 Not sure if most people realize that school districts take calling a “snow day” very seriously. It is hard for

some parents to quickly scramble for daycare if needed and also means that the time does need to be made up.

However, many staff travel from outside of the local community to get

to the schools they work at. When police are telling people to stay off the roads, this creates problems for employees who feel they should try and get into work.

Let’s talk about protecting nature and reducing pollution

Measles patient at Delta Hospital, but FH says there’s no public risk 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

Was a case of the measles properly diagnosed at Delta Hospital?

That’s the question a mom is asking in the latest case of a measles outbreak that is spreading across Greater Vancouver.

The mom, who requested anonymity when she spoke with Global News last weekend, said an adult family member has been confirmed to have contracted measles even though the person was vaccinated.

The mom wanted people to know this person visited Delta Hospital on Feb. 17 and Feb. 20 and was also at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver on Feb. 20. On all three hospital visits they did not know they were contagious with

measles.

Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma would not specifically mention Delta Hospital when contacted by the Optimist, and could only say this case involved a resident of the Fraser Health region.

“Due to patient privacy we can’t speak to any particular community,” said Juma. “While I can’t discuss any individual patient’s case, I can tell you that our highly trained emergency department doctors and nurses assess patients based on what they see and the information that is available to them at the time.”

Juma said a patient’s condition can change quickly and can impact a diagnosis.

“As well, when we have a confirmed case of any

communicable disease like measles, our public health team follows strict trace contact protocols to assess risk, ensure anyone who might have been exposed is aware and receives the appropriate follow-up,” she said. “If we felt the health and safety of the general public was at risk, we would have issued our own alert.”

Juma said Fraser Health does not believe there is any risk of measles related to this case to the public in the region.

“The exposure appears to be limited to Vancouver Coastal Health’s region and that is why they issued their bulletin [last Friday],” added Juma.

Health authorities continue to remind people who are not immunized or are unsure of their immunity to contact their family

doctor, a walk-in clinic, a pharmacy, urgent primary care centre or public health office to book a vaccination appointment.

The health authorities are also reminding parents that public health sends regular reminders to ensure their children receive their vaccinations in line with the provincial immunization schedule.

Symptoms of measles include a cough, cold-like symptoms, red eyes and a fever.

These symptoms are followed three to four days later by a rash that begins on the face and spreads all over the body.

There have been more than a dozen cases of measles confirmed in the Lower Mainland, many of them linked to three Francophone schools in the Vancouver area.

A group of residents is urging Delta council to halt or delay Cascades Casino Delta due to ongoing developments around crime and money laundering.

Resident Aimee McKinney appeared at council’s Monday meeting along with about a dozen residents all sporting buttons opposing the casino.

McKinney said since the previous mayor and council approved the casino at the old Delta Town & Country Inn site there have been several serious disclosures from federal and provincial sources, including the RCMP, that have found extensive evidence of massive money laundering in B.C. casinos.

“Since this money being laundered is linked to organized crime, the opioid crisis, the cost of housing, would you

Coun. Lois Jackson, who was acting mayor in George Harvie’s absence, said the questions were timely and asked McKinney to pass along her information to staff.

Later in the meeting, council directed staff to prepare a report on the issue. Council has also asked Delta police Chief Neil Dubord for a report and to appear as a delegation.

“In view of the fact there is a lot of information about BCLC, we need to discuss this matter with our entire police department, so I think it is appropriate for him to speak with this new council,” Jackson said.

Council gave approval last summer to Gateway’s casino/hotel complex, which is still waiting for approval from the Ministry of Transportation before it can begin construction.

Police turning to public to help create video database Delta police have launched a new way for the public to get involved in helping keep the community safe.

The Community Watch Program creates an online database of homes and businesses with video cameras. Signing up is voluntary.

“There are a variety of situations where police might want to view video that is privately collected,” said S/Sgt. Dave Schaefer,

who spearheaded the program. “Our officers might be looking for information to help solve a spree of thefts from vehicles, or they may be urgently trying to find a high-risk missing person. This database will help provide a starting point of where public-facing video cameras in the area may be.”

Currently officers have to conduct a door-to-door canvass for each instance which can be a time-con-

suming process.

The department says the role the public can play in assisting police with investigations has grown over the years as technology has continued to evolve.

“You never know how you might be able to help police out,” said Delta resident Michael O’Connor, who just signed up for the program. “It might be providing footage of someone breaking into your neigh-

bour’s house or maybe your cameras have a key bit of footage of someone’s tattoo that could help solve a serious crime.”

Schaefer said DPD thought the program would be a good fit in Delta.

“We’re fortunate to have citizens who are so active in helping to keep our community safe,” he said.

Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

Don’t become so welladjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Romans 12:2 If we want to live life to the fullest, the key is in right believing. Believe right and you will live right. The opposite is also true. Believe wrong and you will live wrong.

Some people have the wrong view of Christianity.

Christianity is not about behaviour modification.

Behaviour modification is what I call religion —

Minister’s Minute ANDREAS BASSON

trusting in your ability to bring about change, but constantly failing.

Thinking if I just try harder, work harder, sacrifice more, then I will be able to satisfy and please God. But God says, “No. It’s not about being more dis-

ciplined.” Not that being disciplined is bad for you, but it’s about an inward heart transformation. So start addressing the root.

What are you believing about God? Make sure you get hold of good teachings that are full of God’s grace that reveal His righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus.

When you believe right, your outward behaviour will come in line with His Word and you will begin to be transformed into His image from glory to glory.

(2 Corinthians 3:18).

So, think about God’s grace towards you and how you are made right by Jesus’ finished work on the cross. You will produce the fruits of righteousness and reign in life.

Book of the Month

Delta firefighter Reid Taylor raised $10,405 for BC Children’s Hospital with his Dash for Cash last Sunday. Taylor ran a 40-yard dash in full firefighting turnout gear at the fire hall in Ladner.

Taylor, who’s been doing the dash for three years, was inspired by the RunRichRun initiative where popular NFL Network host Rich Eisen runs the 40-yard dash in a suit and tie at the NFL Combine.

As part of Heritage Week celebrations, Heritage BC announced the City of Delta has received a heritage conservation award for the heritage hangar restoration project at Boundary Bay Airport.

The project involved replacing the entire roof, multiple structural columns and windows on the main doors of the hangar.

The main doors were also repainted and the mechanism to open and close the doors was refurbished.

The $2 million project was made possible by the

NOTICE OF ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT SUBJECT: “DELTA ZONING BYLAW NO. 7600, 2017” AMENDMENT – APPLICATIONS IN PROCESS (File No. P19-01A) PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that at the Regular Meeting to be held on MONDAY, March 4, 2019 at 7:00 P.M. at the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre, Main Hall, at 11760 88 Avenue, Delta, BC, Delta City Council will consider third reading of “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017 Amendment (Applications in Process – P19-01A) Bylaw No. 7806, 2018”.

The purpose of this application is to amend the “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” by updating the zoning of 24 lots and the comprehensive development zone labels of eight lots which were the subject of applications processed under the “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977” during the time that “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” was being considered.

Encorp Pacific is launching a pilot program in the Lower Mainland that will give residents another option to get rid of used clothing.

The Ladner Return-It Depot on Elliott Street in Ladner Village is one of 13 recycling depots across the region participating in the pilot project.

The pilot is being launched in partnership with Bank & Vogue to test the feasibility of using the province-wide Return-It depot network to collect gently used clothing, shoes and other textiles.

Bank & Vogue is one of the largest traders of used clothes in North America, the parent company to the European vintage retail chain Beyond Retro, and operates one of the largest re-manufacturing facilities in the world.

Every year, the average adult throws out about 81 pounds of clothing and other textiles. In Metro Vancouver alone, 40,000 tonnes of textiles go to the landfill every year, making up approximately five per

By gathering data and working with government and other stakeholders, the pilot program will help Encorp Pacific evaluate how to integrate solutions for textile reuse in other regions of the province. All textiles collected through the pilot will be distributed to reuse organizations and companies in Western Canada.

“Our new textiles

program is about convenience,” said Allen Langdon, president and CEO of Encorp Pacific.

“We want to give British Columbians more options for giving their textiles a second life, with the ultimate goal of keeping those items out of landfills to support a circular economy.”

The three-month pilot program will allow clothing to be dropped off from March to May.

THE STAGE PRESENTS

“Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” received first and second readings on December 4, 2017 and was adopted on April 9, 2018. It was recognized that there would be development applications instream during this time frame and therefore transitional provisions were included in “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017” that allowed these applications to be processed subject to the regulations of “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 2750, 1977” so as to avoid disruption. Following completion of these applications, a zoning amendment process is needed to bring these applications under “Delta Zoning Bylaw No. 7600, 2017”.

Pursuant to Section 464(2) of the Local Government Act and Council’s resolution on January 28, 2019, there will not be a Public Hearing for this bylaw.

Seeds in weekend spotlight Annual Seedy Saturday and Garden Expo finds new home at All Saints Church

IAN JACQUES

It will be all about the seeds.

The Ladner Community Garden presents the seventh annual Seedy Saturday and Garden Expo this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church.

Admission is by donation.

Featuring seeds and plants, a seed swap, garden vendors and presentations, the event marks the start of the garden and planting season in South Delta.

“The Ladner Community Garden has hosted this event since its inception,” said organizer and Delta Optimist garden blogger Kristin Crouch.

“What we do is we use a lot of the money raised to go back into the garden, but also it helps grow the various crops that we grow for community groups. We have six plots for the food bank and other charities.

We have been growing a lot of food lately for the community dinner at the church, so we love partnering with the church on that initiative.”

Established in 2011, the Ladner Community Garden is located off Holly Park Drive behind Harris Nursery.

“We have about 70 beds.

Some are rented out to community groups and we have a communal herb

There will also be two guest speakers at Seedy Saturday. Amanda Jarrett will speak at 10:30 a.m. on container veggies while Crouch will give a presentation on herbs made easy at 1 p.m.

“We like to focus on seeds, of course, so Amanda’s presentation

will be really hands-on.

It’s popular because many people don’t have a large yard anymore,” said Crouch. “A lot of people are growing food in containers. I’ll be speaking about herbs and how important it is to attract pollinators to the garden.”

She said there is a hall in the church that will be set aside for vendors selling plants, seeds and all sorts of different garden-related products. There will also

be a seed swap, which has been growing over the years.

“Our whole mission is to try and preserve a lot of heirloom seeds, so we want to encourage people to bring in some seeds that maybe they don’t like or they want to swap with others and trade with someone else they might like to try this year. Last year the seed swap was so popular we ran out of seeds.”

Crouch said she supplies a lot of the seeds for the event from her own garden.

“It’s a fun day and it kicks off the garden season, especially after all the snow,” she said. “It’s also nice to have the event located right in the historic downtown area because it’s close to all the shops as well.”

Dave Karmazyn will release his first solo CD of original music — Somethin’ Crazy — on Saturday at the Wander Inn Café.

Tsawwassen’s Dave Karmazyn is about to release his first solo CD of original music.

Somethin’ Crazy, a compilation of 15 songs of various genres that he has been working on for more than two years, will be released at the Wander Inn Café this Saturday at Lighthouse Church in Ladner.

What makes the album so special is that Karmazyn called on family, friends and neighbours to help create it. It’s a real labour of friendship and love.

The collaboration is grassroots, including everything from adding beautiful oboe melody

lines and foot stomping banjo, harmonica and fiddle to special effects featuring a mournful husky howl, song birds, loons and even a haunting digeridoo.

The community support extended right down to the design of the CD cover and the construction of his website.

In addition to making music, Karmazyn is fundraising with Freshwave Ministries to help bring nutritious food to people that are homeless or struggling to make ends meet.

Entrance to the CD launch show is a suggested $10 donation.

Many of the contributing musicians will be

adding their talents at the CD release concert.

Also joining him on stage will be the members of The Karmichaels (Mike Hurworth, Russil Alden, Gavin Strang, Rich Mayer and Maribel Karmazyn).

Special guests will include Karmazyn’s longtime friend and piano recording artist Bryant Jones from Manitou Springs, Colo., and Juno-nominated Loren Bagelman and his wife Marion Lightly.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and includes two sets plus intermission.

Copies of the Somethin’ Crazy CD will be available at the concert for $15 or can be downloaded at www.karmazyn.ca.

Young local singers got their time to shine last Saturday night during the Delta Idol finals at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

Laura Marenych won the top prize singing Wait A Bit from the musical Just So in the event’s senior category while Seiko

Miyazato took home the grand prize singing Rise Up by Andra Day in the junior age group.

They both won prize packages, which include a professionally recorded demo, coaching sessions, an industry consultation session, logo and graphic design, and a professional photo shoot, from Studio Cloud 30.

“We were very impressed yet again by the talent we have in our community. Both Laura and Seiko have participated in past Delta Idols, so it was really nice to see their performance growth and that it was recognized by the judges,” said arts and culture programmer Jacqueline Hanson with the City of Delta, which

once again hosted the competition.

Judges this year included Linda Szentes, Jeramiah Ackermann and Michelle Carlisle.

“We had a lot of new finalists this year as well, which is fantastic to see more teens auditioning and taking the opportunity to showcase their singing on the stage,” said Hanson.

“It was also great to see how much support from friends and family the finalists had this year in the crowd.”

Faith Carswell placed second in the senior category singing At Last by Etta James, while Maddison Jose placed third singing White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

In the junior category,

Finn Hipwell finished second singing Netflix Trip by AJR while Eric Sun placed third signing See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.

The competition saw entrants submit audition tapes after which organizers narrowed the field to 12 finalists who performed at last Saturday’s live show in Tsawwassen.

The latest data suggests the Metro Vancouver housing market will be mired in difficulties this year and perhaps even next. But there are clear strategies to not only survive the slump but benefit from it. Our expert panel will guide you on where the opportunities are, where they aren’t, and how your investment plan can make the most of the challenging times.

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity. But the country is embroiled in a debate on who should provide the technology, what national security considerations are necessary, and how Canada can ensure it does not lose pace with the rest of the world.

Delta is poised to expand the number of buses for seniors 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

More buses for seniors are coming to Delta.

The city’s new financial plan recently endorsed by Delta council includes a second seniors bus operating in North Delta this year. Mayor George Harvie said the plan is to have a second one for South Delta next year.

Equipped to hold 16 passengers, plus two wheelchairs, the vehicles are seen as providing a necessary service to seniors with mobility issues.

Delta launched the North Delta seniors bus as a pilot program in 2013.

Delta was one of 27 communities to receive a provincial grant aimed at assisting seniors with “agefriendly” projects to help them remain independent.

That program is managed out of the Kennedy Seniors Centre.

FILE PHOTO

Delta is adding a second Seniors Bus in North Delta this year and plans to do the same in South Delta next year.

The program is aimed at providing seniors with accessible, affordable and reliable transportation options and offer convenient access to seniors’ activity centres, shopping, local medical services, banking and other community amenities.

The service is intended to improve transit options and encourage isolated or inactive seniors to become engaged in recreation, social and healthy lifestyle

activities.

A bus began for seniors in South Delta in 2016 out of the McKee Seniors Recreation Centre.

The city’s annual report for 2018 noted that, to date, over 900 members use the free service and over 28,000 trips have been completed.

For more information about the service, visit http://www.delta.ca/ services/seniors/deltaseniors-bus.

All Aboard!

Residents at The Wexford and The Waterford enjoy the freedom to be themselves, to live independently, and to experience fun with their friends and families every day.

KinVillage could benefit from federal housing funding, according to federal Minister of Seniors Filomena Tassi, who toured the Tsawwassen seniors’ facility last week.

A total of 798 units are proposed in the redevelopment, comprising 544 seniors’ rental housing units, 119 units in congregate care and 135 community care beds.

The proposed development would be phased in over 10 to 15 years.

KinVillage CEO Donna Ellis said she anticipates it will be six months before a rezoning application is filed with the City of Delta.

“We hope by mid-2020 to have shovels in the ground and new housing for seniors by 2022,” Ellis said. “It’s very exciting.

We met with BC Housing recently and they kept talking about occupancy, so that’s exciting because that means people are talking about people moving into a new home.

“This is what KinVillage has done for 40 years and hopefully into the future — we provide homes. It’s been a long journey to get to this point, but now it is really starting to feel tangible.”

Capt. Erika Brockhausen addresses the South Delta Probus Club last week at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn.

Probus club welcomes ferry captain

BC Ferries Capt. Erika Brockhausen spoke to more than 60 members of the South Delta Probus Club on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. Brockhausen touched on being part of the first BCIT Cadet program class in 1999, getting deep sea experience on board

oil tankers and how she fulfilled her dream of becoming a captain for BC Ferries.

“A BC Ferries captain gave me a tour of the ship’s bridge when I was 15 and asked what I thought. I looked out the window at the incredible scenery and thought to myself, ‘Well, this is a nice office.’ I

knew from that day being a captain with BC Ferries was what I wanted to do,” Brockhausen told the group.

The South Delta Probus Club is for retired and semi-retired people who wish to gather with others to enjoy learning and fellowship. The club meets monthly.

Hawks soar back to capture series Delta wins three games in as many nights to advance to PJHL semi-finals MARK BOOTH

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

Two weeks ago Jordy Engelson had little in the way of playoff experience. Today, he feels like a grizzled veteran after stepping up in a big way for the Delta Ice Hawks.

The 18-year-old goaltender helped the defending Pacific Junior Hockey League champions stave off elimination three times on consecutive nights and capture their quarter-final series against the Aldergrove Kodiaks with a 5-2 game seven win on Tuesday in Ladner.

A year ago, Engelson watched Jordan Naylor start every playoff game in Delta’s run to the championship. Now it’s his time and he certainly is making the most of it. He was outstanding during the homestretch of the series, especially a 40-save game six performance that saw the Hawks prevail 3-2 in double overtime.

Engelson had to be at his best with his counterpart Chad Cromar also having a heck of a series for the upstart Kodiaks who came-everso close to pulling off a significant upset.

“That was definitely my biggest playoff series,” smiled Engelson. “I was pretty down on myself (after a 1-0 game four loss in overtime). I was disappointed in the result but I knew we were going to come back.

“It was definitely an experience going through the ups and downs of this series.

Watching the guys last year and how they handled things after a loss really helped me and I’m a more confident goaltender because of it.”

After barely keeping their season alive one night earlier, the Hawks used the emotional win to jump out to a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Mark Epshtein and Kyle Uy. Second period tallies followed from Ji-Hwan Kim, Liam Visram and Jordan Deyrmenjian.

Delta tried coasting through the final 20 minutes and the Kodiaks made them pay with a pair of goals from standout blueliner David Padgham.

“I felt a little concerned of a letdown after climbing back into the series but I could tell before the game they were pretty dialed in,” said Hawks GM and head coach Steve Robinson. “We were fortunate to start last sea-

Delta Ice Hawks got a lift for their game seven win over the Aldergrove Kodiaks Tuesday night with the return of Sam Kozlowski. The Hawks now play Langley in the PJHL semis. son in playoff mode against Grandview where this time we were late for the party. I felt the last couple of games you could see the playoff identity which is playing certain way that you got to at this time of year.”

Besides Engleson’s brilliance, the story of the series was rookies stepping up to provide some much-needed goal production with the team’s top guns silent for much of the way.

None was bigger than Kim with his hat trick performance in game six.

“I told him today he was our best player on the ice from start to finish. He just looks confident right now and is making us deep. Those are the guys that won us this series,” added Robinson.

“Our big guys and offensive leaders know they dodged a bullet. They will bring it and turn it around in this next series.”

The Hawks will now play the Langley Trappers. The schedule is expected to be finalized in the next couple of days.

Thormeyer goes on record breaking spree at U Sports Nationals Markus Thormeyer put on quite a show at the UBC Aquatic Centre in leading the host Thunderbirds to their third consecutive U Sports Swimming Championship.

The 21-year-old from Tsawwassen showed why he is one of the top swimmers in the country with seven gold medals and several meet records en route to being named U Sports Male Swimmer of the Year.

“It feels great to do this at home,” said the former Winskill Dolphins Swim Club standout. “It wasn’t an easy battle, the women were ahead from day one but their lead was shrink-

ing and the men...we were behind on day one and were trying to overcome. No one knew what was going to happen. The fact both the men and women’s teams pulled through for the third year in a row, it feels amazing.”

Thormeyer’s big haul helped UBC overtake the Calgary Dinos (1,255-1230.5) to win the men’s title for the fourth time in five years.

He opened the championships on Thursday by winning the 100 metre backstroke for the third consecutive year with a record time of 53.78 seconds.

He then teamed with Jaren LeFranc, Josiah

Binnema and Alex Pratt to capture the 4x100 medley in a record clocking of 3:41.62 On day two, Thormeyer defended his title in the 200 free with another U Sports record (1:48.02).

He then helped the 4x200 free relay team cruise to a convincing eight second victory (7:27.78), also a meet record.

On Saturday, the South Delta Secondary graduate won the 100 free (48.71) and 200 back (1:58.64) in record times. The final feat was a U Sports record in winning the 4x100 free.

Woodhead wins bronze at Canada Winter Games Tsawwassen gymnast reaches podium in Red Deer thanks to new additions to routine Tsawwassen’s Ryan Woodhead won a bronze medal in men’s artistic gymnastics at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer.

The Delta Gymnastics member finished third on the pommel horse during Thursday’s individual apparatus finals which concluded the gymnastics competition.

The 18-year-old added some new elements to his routine to help earn the podium position.

“I added a Russian D flop on the single handle today. I almost fell but I kept it together, had a great dismount and stuck the landing. My circle felt really good and my toes were pointed.

I am going to celebrate tomorrow with some junk food and a cheat day,” smiled Woodhead.

He remembers being inspired by older athletes from his Ladner-based club who had the opportunity to attend the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

“I knew this was a huge event.

I had some fellow athletes that trained at my gym that went to the Games four years ago. It’s so cool now that I am here. It really is so awesome,” he added.

Earlier in the week, Ladner’s Ella Rogers cracked the top 15 in

Ladner’s Ella Rogers on the beam in Red Deer. the individual all-around event, placing 11th out of 36 athletes.

The 15-year-old trains out of Vancouver Phoenix Gymnastics.

Rogers was third on the uneven bars at the 2018 Canadian Championships and also captured gold in the same event at Westerns.

In other sports, Amanda Mott helped Team BC reach the bronze medal game in ringette before falling to Manitoba.

The Canada Games continue until Saturday.

McNEILL, Patricia Ann

ORRICK, Shirley May December 1935 - February 2019 It is with the greatest of regret and the deepest of grief that we announce that Shirley has gone to be with her God in Heaven; she departed this Earth at 5:30 P.M. Tuesday, 19 February, 2019 while lying in the ICU of Surrey Memorial Hospital attended to by a very competent medical staff who ensured that Shirley’s departure was without her suffering any pain.

Remaining behind on Earth to grieve is her husband of 65 years, Bob and her five living children, Patricia [Steve] of Nanaimo; Jacqueline of Vancouver; Joanne [Ron] of Nanaimo; Robert [Janine] of Ladner and Michael [Irene] of Qualicum B e a c h . A d d i t i o n a l l y, S h i r l e y l o v e d h e r 1 3 grandchildren, her 14 great-grandchildren and her two great-great-grandchildren spread across Canada in BC, AB, NB and PEI. Shirley was predeceased by her third child, Veronica, of Victoria in July 1957.

Shirley practiced her Christian Faith seriously as a member of St. Andrew’s Anglican [ANiC] Church in Tsawwassen, BC, and as a member of the Ladies at 9 Bible Study Group who met Thursdays in Ts a w w a s s e n . A n n u a l l y, S h i r l e y e n j o y e d t h e Christian Retreats conducted by Annette and Jim Fergusson at The Abbey in Mission, BC. Shirley enjoyed the various countries that she and Bob visited including Turkey, England, Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Hong Kong, Spain, Nassau BWI, China, Canary Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Italy, Mexico, most of the Caribbean islands and the USA. She enjoyed the various ocean cruises she and Bob took however, the Rhine River Cruise in the autumn of 2014 was the highlight of her voyages and her two religious pilgrimages to Israel were absolute delights. She lamented that r e g r e t t a b l y, s h e d i d n o t v i s i t h e r a n c e s t r a l homeland, Scotland.

A church service will be conducted by Reverend Danielle Martell at St. Andrew’s Anglican [ANiC] in Tsawwassen at 2 P.M. on Saturday, 09 March 2019. Later, on Saturday, 04 May, a Celebration of Life will be held in the Harris Barn in Ladner to allow those from out-of-town who were unable to attend Shirley’s funeral, to attend. A large family with a wide circle of friends requires an enveloping schedule. God Bless All! By request: donation to Covenant House in Vancouver in lieu of flowers.

ROSS, Lorraine July 10, 1932 - February 14, 2019 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lorraine Ross (Hunter). Lorraine passed away peacefully on February 14th at Mount Ida Mews in Salmon Arm at the age of 86.

Lorraine was born in Anyox, BC on July 10, 1932, to Ken and Janet Hunter. At the age of 4, the family moved to Salmon Arm, BC to open Hunter’s Pharmacy. Lorraine attended school in Salmon Arm and then moved to Kamloops to study bookkeeping. It was while working in Vancouver where she met Robert (Bob) and in 1955 the two were married. She was always supportive and involved in Bob’s endeavors of Carpentry, Shuffle-Board manufacturing or building the animated Christmas displays that adorned the home and attracted the bus tours. They raised their three boys Steven, Garth and Darren and in 1991, after Bob’s sudden passing, Lorraine re-located to Tsawwassen to be closer to family. She finished her career with APEGBC and then found a new relationship with Ian MacLean. This is when she tried her hand at golf, but their most favourite times were in the summer where they would drive to Salmon Arm to stay at the family lake property “the beach”. This always afforded the opportunity to visit with the entire family and enjoy a cold libation in the summer heat.

After Ian’s passing and when it became too difficult to manage her condo, Lorraine moved to Evergreen Baptist home in White Rock, where she received wonderful care by the many nurses and staff. She re-located one last time to Mount Ida Mews in Salmon Arm to once again be closer to family.

She was a classy and talented lady who loved to dress up, loved to laugh, loved her flowers and her family.

Lorraine was predeceased by her husband Bob (1991), her partner Ian Maclean (2010) and her son Steven (2018). She will be missed by her sons Garth (Ronette), Darren (Rhonda), sister Joanne Armstrong and brother Bruce Hunter (Barbara).

Lorraine also leaves behind 5 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild, and 5 nephews.

No service by request. The family will announce a get-together this summer in her memory.

SMITH, Kim Suzanne Ivy (née Brooks) Kim died unexpectedly in the Royal Columbian Hospital on the 15th of February, 2019 in New Westminster, BC at the age of 59. Kim is survived by her husband, Philip Summerell; children, Matthew, Christopher and Eleni; and siblings, Paul and Tracy. She is preceded in death by her father John Brooks and her mother Jean Brooks, of Hayes, Middlesex, UK. Kim was born on the 14th July, 1959 in Chingford Essex, UK to John and Jean Brooks. The family moved to Hayes where she completed her education. After various jobs, Kim studied at college in London and became a qualified Hearing Therapist. In 1988 she married David Smith of Glasgow, whom she had previously met while working at the London Air Traffic Control Center in West Drayton. They set up home in Bournemouth, Dorset, where they had three children, Matthew, Christopher and Eleni. In 1996 the family moved to Richmond, BC, Canada where they obtained Canadian Citizenship. Kim dedicated her time to raising the family in their new country and provided a nurturing, caring environment for her growing children. While living in Richmond the family attended Richmond Alliance Church. As the family grew older Kim worked as a librarian, trained as a veterinary assistant, worked for British Airways ground staff at YVR and ultimately trained and qualified as a medical administrator working for Fraser Health.

David and Kim parted ways in 2010 and in 2011 she met a childhood friend Philip Summerell while attending her brother’s wedding in the UK. Their friendship grew and Kim and Philip were married on 8th June, 2018 in Bartley, Hampshire, U.K. Kim was a vivacious, warm-hearted, caring individual who loved life and her family to the fullest extent.

She had a great sense of humour, loved to try new adventures and visit new places. She was enthusiastic in every venture she set out on. She was a sociable, friendly and gentle person, who brought sunshine into the lives of the people around her. She will be missed by so many.

A memorial service will be held at Richmond Alliance Church on Saturday, 2nd March, 2019 at 11 am. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Kim’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider sending donations to the SPCA, a charity which was close to Kim’s heart and her love of animals, their care and well-being.
