Four Winds proposal rejected In 4-3 vote, council defeats application for brewery and restaurant on Southlands 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

Mayor George Harvie had some pointed comments for the Century Group Monday as Delta council narrowly rejected an application by Four Winds to build a brewery and restaurant on the Southlands.

“The property owner (Century Group) now has applied to change the Southlands community plan from village-commercial to uses that operate in industrial areas of our city… I find this proposal is in conflict with the commitment council made to the community on the approval of the Southlands in 2016,” said Harvie.

Council voted 4-3 to reject the proposal with Dylan Kruger, Lois Jackson and Alicia Guichon voting in favour, while Harvie was the deciding vote, joining Bruce McDonald, Jeannie Kanakos and Dan Copeland in opposition.

Four Winds applied to build a craft brewery and 200-seat restaurant as part of the commercial component of the Southlands development, which also includes 950 housing units. The Four Winds proposal would have seen the brewery and eatery housed in a 30,000-squarefoot building.

A distillery and winery in separate buildings were also part of the rezoning application, although Adam Mills, sales and marketing director at Four Winds, noted following a public hearing last month

Mayor George Harvie cast the deciding vote against the Four Winds application, saying it wasn’t compatible with uses envisioned for the Southlands. that it should be made clear the Four Winds application was limited to a craft brewery and restaurant.

“It is true Century Group has added these components to their overall scope for the Southlands but they are completely separate from Four Winds,” Mills explained.

According to the city’s planning department, the proposed uses are consistent with the original vision for the Southlands, however, the plan drew opposition from many residents who said an industrial use was not in keeping with the area.

Harvie agreed, adding Century Group is already

promoting on its website the Southlands as having an approved craft brewery in the market district, which is wrong because no approvals were given.

“Developers that mislead the public make work of those elected to the office of mayor and councillor more difficult in the performance of their duties and, in the public’s mind, the integrity of the public hearing process for land use designation changes,” said the new mayor.

Kanakos said Four Winds had put forward an innovative proposal but the designation envisioned for Southlands clearly states manufacturing-type uses are not included.

“I’m actually surprised Century would come forward with such a bold proposal. I honestly believe our mayor and staff can negotiate a much better proposal that’s more in keeping with the vision and the commitment we made to the community,” she said.

McDonald and Copeland agreed, saying a lengthy process took place over several years to arrive at the Southlands vision.

Saying the business is something the local farming community needs, Guichon said she’d like to see the project’s scope reduced but added the positives outweigh the negatives.

Although she voted

in favour, Jackson said she had some concerns, including the proposal not encompassing the spirit of the Southlands concept.

Kruger said a number of concerns identified by residents had been addressed by staff, including parking and traffic.

Noting a 200-seat restaurant could have been built under the existing zoning, he said that, as far as concerns over changing the designation to light industrial, there would have been no problems with odour as there’s none with the Four Winds plant at Tilbury.

Kruger also said Four Winds would be an important anchor tenant for the area.

Trial date set for October in Tsawwassen manslaughter case

A Tsawwassen manslaughter case will go to trial this fall.

Last Thursday afternoon in New Westminster Supreme Court, it was ordered that a jury trial

commence Oct. 22.

Franco Douglas Sarra, a graduate of South Delta Secondary who now lives in Burnaby, is facing a manslaughter charge in connection with the death

of Russ Armfelt, 53, outside the Rose and Crown Pub in Tsawwassen in December 2016.

Previously, Delta police said Armfelt was located unconscious and unre-

sponsive early in the morning of Dec. 11, 2016 outside the rear of the 56th Street pub. Despite efforts by paramedics to revive him, Armfelt later died in hospital.

A week-long preliminary hearing was held in Surrey provincial court last month after which time a judge determined there was enough evidence to go to trial.

Ken Baird was elected chief of the Tsawwassen First Nation last weekend.

Baird edges Williams to become new TFN chief 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

Ken Baird has been elected chief of the Tsawwassen First Nation.

He came out on top in a tight two-way race against Bryce Williams in Saturday’s election, topping the incumbent 86 to 78.

“I’m pretty excited. It was a close race but I was pretty confident this time.

I ran in the last election (2016) and just missed it, so I decided to run again,” Baird told the Optimist on Monday.

“My platform was really simple and it is the betterment, health and wellbeing of the Tsawwassen First Nation people, whatever I can do to make that better,” he added.

The new chief noted some of the big issues the TFN will need to address is developing a strategy as

the First Nation’s members will lose their tax exemption.

A supervisor with the TFN public works department, Baird will assume the role on April 16. He was elected to a three-year term.

In addition to Baird, 13 members were elected to the legislature with the top four joining the chief on the executive council.

Elected to the legislature are Jesseca Adams, Louise Ahlm, Mike Baird, Laura Cassidy, Valerie Cross-Blackett, Kathy Genge, Andrea Jacobs, Nikki Jacobs, Steven Stark, Loretta (Law) Williams, Sheila Williams, Tia Williams and Victoria (Skosswunson) Williams.

According to the TFN, due to a six-way tie for 10th place, and following a recount with identical results, a draw was held to determine the 10th

through 13th positions. It was done in accordance with TFN election laws, according to the First Nation.

A total of 318 members were eligible to vote out of a population of 491 members. Many members don’t reside at the First Nation.

A total of 175 members voted for a turnout of 55 per cent. Almost 70 votes were submitted by mail-in ballot.

Bryce Williams was first elected chief in September of 2012, defeating six-term incumbent Kim Baird in what was considered by many outside the TFN at the time as an upset. Ken Baird will be the third chief in the post-treaty era.

Delta Mayor George Harvie offered congratulations to Baird at Delta council’s meeting on Monday, saying he looks forward to working with him.

Go Green Pest Control owner Randy Bilesky said he did about 250 rat jobs in the area last year.

Residents can undertake a number of measures to prevent rats from seeking shelter inside their homes.

Conditions are ripe for rats

Rodents becoming plentiful in Delta’s residential areas due to a combination of factors 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 sight or sound of them scurrying about, especially inside homes, is enough to send a shiver down most people’s spines.

Wherever you have people, there are always going to be rats, sometimes lots of them, and here in Delta there seems to be more lately.

That’s what South Delta-based Go Green Pest Control owner Randy Bilesky has observed over the past few years, saying factors such as climate change and rodents being displaced due to development are resulting in a sharp increase in his call volumes.

“From my perspective, it’s getting worse every year. Hotter, drier summers are good for the rodents, for the rats, and the biggest thing I’ve found is a lot of land has been cleared and all the raptors have taken off. You see a lot of them at the dump area now, while rats are heading into Ladner and Tsawwassen, into the city,” said Bilesky.

He said he did about 250 rat jobs in the area last year.

“Rats are nocturnal, so they are typically going into the house or underneath at nighttime and that’s when people

hear that scurrying, that scratching noise. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Norway rat or roof rat, they all like being in the roof because it’s got insulation, it’s warm and it’s secure.”

John McCafferty, who owns John’s Thistle Auto on Elliott Street in Ladner, said he sees countless vehicles that show evidence of the rodents scurrying around under engine hoods looking for a warm place, particularly in the colder months. It can range from little footprints and droppings, chewed wiring to full nests. The damage can run into the thousands.

“If your car sits in the same place for days, it’s a perfect place for them to go and be undisturbed,” he said. “A truck that we had in recently even had a live rat in it.”

McCafferty said cotton balls laced with mint extract can be a good preventative measure.

Metro Vancouver doesn’t have a coordinated program when it comes to rats, leaving individual municipalities to deal with them.

The problem has reportedly been so pronounced in the City of Vancouver that the Vancouver Rat Project was initiated.

In Delta, however, there’s no special campaign targeting rats. Mike Brotherston, Delta’s manager of climate action and

environment, said based on calls from the public, the problem doesn’t seem more pronounced.

“Two or three years ago we were up a bit and looked at what additional things we can do to reduce the problem in the community,” said Brotherston.

“One new thing we implemented was applicants for demolition permits having to submit a form signed off

get calls, sometimes it’s clearly an unsightly property or bylaw call like open garbage or things attracting rats onto a property.

Sometimes it’s just an education thing and we’ll send out information to a neighbourhood on what they can do, because sometimes they aren’t always aware of the things that are attracting rats to a neighbourhood, things like

We would see in some cases abandoned houses that tended to be great habitat for rats. That certainly helped bring back down the number of neighbourhood calls.

“Certainly, when we

fruit droppings from trees in the fall. There’s also feeding pets outside, bird feeders, open compost.

Sometimes it’s a seasonal thing we see.”

Orkin Canada this week released its annual list of B.C.’s “rattiest” cities which saw Delta ranked 11th, up

one spot from the previous year. The rankings are established by the number of treatments the pest control company performs in the prior calendar year.

Bilesky has a lengthy checklist of what homeowners can do to discourage rats, which can not only climb but have an uncanny ability of squeezing into small spaces, from making their way inside.

He suggests pruning trees or shrubs near the side of homes as branches can act as an escalator for rats that love attics and crawlspaces.

Also, the disease-carrying rodents can scale brick chimneys, while gaps between soffits and rooflines can be an open invitation as well.

On the ground level, galvanized mesh, as long as it’s the proper size, can be effective around the foundation. Leaving piles of wood, especially right next to a house, and having bird feeders can also attract the unwanted pests.

A few of the other recommendations when it comes to rats include storing compost kitchen waste only in sturdy, closed bins and not putting meat scraps or bones in the bins, storing outdoor garbage in tightly-closed containers, making sure that bird feeders are away from buildings and seeds don’t spill on the ground, and repairing any leaky

plumbing.

The province’s Environment and Climate Change Strategy notes rats have been present in B.C. since the mid- to late-1800s. They are well established, particularly in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands, but are also present in other areas.

Due to B.C.’s milder climate, rats have spread and become established in forested and agricultural areas. Rat numbers vary from year-to-year depending on local conditions.

The Ministry of Environment recommends several options for rat control, including setting snap traps or using live traps if other native wildlife may be present. The province suggests professional pest controllers might be the best option for serious rat infestations or for longterm control.

For more information, go to http://www2.gov. bc.ca/gov/content/environment/pesticides-pestmanagement/managingpests/animals/rodents.

The province also welcomes reports from the public on the location of rats and other invasive species. There are a number of ways to report invasive species, including smartphone apps and an online reporting form.

Hodgins had been working with city planning officials over the last year while coming up with the concept. Century is gathering feedback prior to submitting a development application to the city.

TED MURPHY

oe the party line at your own peril.

As the SNC-Lavalin affair continues to reverberate throughout Ottawa and beyond, Delta Liberal MP Carla Qualtrough has been steadfast in support of her boss, embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. On a couple of occasions when we’ve asked her for comment on the issue, the cabinet minister has been diplomatic in her comments, but there’s no mistaking her allegiances.

That loyalty could be considered admirable, but with a federal election just six months away, it could also prove to be problematic for Qualtrough, particularly if this saga gets even uglier for Trudeau. Voters in these parts like their representatives to be outspoken, even if doing so puts them at odds with those in power, a situation evidenced by recent history.

This is a riding that elected John Cummins five times because voters knew the Reform/Alliance/ Conservative MP would speak his mind, and speak up for Delta, regardless of the consequences, which included not getting the fisheries portfolio when his party formed government even though he was the most qualified member of caucus.

This is the riding that became the first one in more than half a century to elect an independent to the provincial legislature and followed that up four years later by becoming the only riding in modern B.C. history to re-elect an independent. That’s because voters wanted someone to stand up for Delta South and they found that in Vicki Huntington.

This is also a riding that turfed a federal cabinet minister in the last election in part because voters didn’t think she had their back. They wanted KerryLynne Findlay to stand up and say the proposed radio towers shouldn’t be located just across the line in Point Roberts, so they turned on her when they didn’t get such a declaration.

There’s no doubt the SNC-Lavalin issue has been a costly one for Jody Wilson-Raybould and fellow former cabinet minister Jane Philpott, both of whom have been expelled from the Liberal caucus and face uncertain political futures. They’ve certainly paid a steep price for their decision to speak out, but it should be remembered that not doing so can also come with a cost.

Serial volunteer says helping out just gets into your blood

I

t started small. I helped out at my kids’ school with something. Then it started to grow when I got involved with the Delta Spirit of 2010 committee. Then I started helping to coach my son’s hockey team. I kept coaching goalies, even after my son quit hockey.

The next thing I know, I was road marshalling for the Tour de Delta and Delta Triathlon and driving for Operation Red Nose.

Before I knew it, I was president of the Deltassist board of directors.

Without realizing it, I had become a serial volunteer.

There is something special about being a volunteer. Doing something for the benefit of others with no expectation of payment or accolades might seem crazy to some people. I don’t know what makes me do it, either.

Once you start, however, it just gets into your blood. It’s hard to stop, not so much because the organization you volunteer with needs you (it does), but because the feeling you get from helping keeps you saying yes whenever it asks for help.

While the feeling I get from volunteering is great, the people I have had the honour to meet is also a great benefit. Anyone who unselfishly gives their time is someone you want as a friend. It’s a great way to meet people. You

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

come together with a shared purpose, always have something to talk about, and leave with a good feeling.

Volunteering is a great way to meet people. Even better, when you become friends with someone who volunteers a lot, if you ever need help, that person will be there with a smile, ready to go.

Delta has so many great volunteers. Dozens of organizations rely on them, and couldn’t do the amazing work they do without them. I think that’s what makes this such a tight community, because of the hundreds of people willing to step up and help out.

This is National Volunteer Week, a week when we celebrate those who give a precious commodity — time — to others. It’s a week when organizations thank those who make such a difference

to so many. Yet to a volunteer, a smile, a handshake, maybe a cup of regular coffee and a thank you is all they want.

There is no shortage of volunteer opportunities in Delta. There are 12 opportunities listed on the city’s volunteer page alone. You can even volunteer with the Delta Police Department (but you still can’t use the siren, sorry). If you aren’t sure what you can do or how you can start, just Google “volunteer Delta” and you’ll find lots of opportunities to get started.

I’m a big believer that doing good things allows good things to happen for you. Call it karma, call it what you like, all I know is my life has improved greatly since I began volunteering. I’ve had a lot of fun, met some really great people, and learned a whole lot by setting aside a few hours here and there. I also believe that volunteering now is in a way paying it forward; one day, I’ll be thankful a volunteer is there to help me.

Thanks to all those volunteers who make Delta a great place to live. This week is for you.

Century should have asked public prior to master plan

Editor: I see the Century Group has put forward its plan for the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall that includes underground parking and 12-, 14- and 16-storey buildings which is a rehash of the previous plan.

It appears Century has had meetings with city officials and business groups, but did it ever occur to the developer to have a meeting with Tsawwassen residents and see what they would prefer before coming up with a master plan? We now get to put forward what we think of the proposal, but we all know that given the amount of work to produce the new plan, Century will not be pleased to change it much.

It still includes a sixstorey building abutting 56th Street, which was rejected by the public last time, which should be thrown out immediately.

We now have a new Delta council headed by Mayor George Harvie so I will be curious to see if it takes the side of the public or the developer.

Excited by Town Centre plan

Editor: A group of us attended the open house last Thursday at the Town Centre Mall and were impressed and excited with the concepts that Century Group presented.

In particular, the Tsawwassen Library being a core component will ensure activity in the new development and the graphics displaying walkways and buildings

suggest it will be a very attractive improvement for the town centre.

This is Century Group’s concept which has not yet been presented to the City of Delta and there will no doubt be continued discussions regarding density, height of buildings, etc., but I believe this to be a very positive proposal and a great improvement to the site as a whole.

Evelyn Funk

By starting with a twostorey block on 56th Street and gradually rising to six blocks will give the town centre a more open outlook. But I fear the need for profit will override this and we are again looking at high-rise buildings.

Yes, we do need an upgrade and, yes, we do need more affordable housing, but if this is done and completely destroys what is a pleasant place to live then count me out.

Producing very attractive architect drawings showing a new library, open spaces, etc. is all well

and good but I suggest people go to Richmond, look at a 16-storey building (there are plenty to see), and transpose that picture to Tsawwassen’s town centre. Then add 12and 14-storey towers and that is what we are going to get if the developers have their way.

This whole plan is driven by making profit out of offering 700 condos as a means to help the housing problem. It has nothing to do with the Tsawwassen resident who already lives here.

Jacob is one conscientious carrier

This past Thursday the paper did not arrive as usual so I called the distribution department the next day and was told Jacob had been on holiday and someone else was taking care of his deliveries and the paper would arrive today.

Of course it did and Jacob left me the following message attached to the newspaper: “Sorry that you did not get your paper delivered yesterday, my dad was on paper route

More doubt cast on Terminal 2 proposal

Editor: For several years now, opponents of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s Terminal 2 proposal have focused on two aspects of the proposal.

One, the environmental impact that the building and operation would cause on Roberts Bank. Two, the port authority’s business case, or lack thereof.

Late last year, the environmental argument was given a lift when Environment Canada’s own scientists concluded that T2 would do significant environmental damage.

Now, this past week, the proponent’s business case has come under fire from a company that is uniquely qualified to offer comment: Global Container

Terminals, the company that operates Deltaport.

In their opinion, the T2 proposal isn’t viable, given a number of market factors.

If a company that is in the business of moving containers is having reservations about T2’s viability, maybe it is time to abandon the port authority’s proposal?

Editor: Re: Vison for the village, Feb. 28 It was so very encouraging to hear that two of Delta’s first-term councillors are stepping up alongside our newly created Ladner Village renewal advisory committee. I applaud this civic initiative, particularly as I read that serious consideration will be given to unique, out-of-the-box solutions for our harbour’s seemingly interminable woes.

This is good news indeed and I only hope that one of the most entrenched and not easily discussed impediments to any physical changes along the Chisholm Street waterfront is acknowledged and addressed in an open and respectful manner. Let me explain.

Walking my “hounds” in Ladner Harbour Park a few days ago one of my fellow dog-walkers made this comment with respect to harbour development: “You know,” he said, “many of the people who live near the harbour

are indifferent to any of these changes.”

I choked up at this dramatic understatement and replied, “Indifferent?

Seriously? You must mean vehemently opposed to any change whatsoever.”

Where am I going with this? Well, to start with, I would encourage this advisory committee to actually go out and knock on the doors of all our residents who live within say a five-minute walk of the harbour. The radius of said reach out should include the waterfront condo dwellers on both ends of Chisholm Street.

Have some sort of preliminary discussion sheet to distribute. Invite them to participate in a meaningful manner from the get go as we move forward with yet another round of “Harbour Hopes.” Then, listen carefully to their responses. Be prepared to hear both positive and resoundingly negative opinions.

Now, these folks are not the much touted and hoped for develop-

ers and investors we have been unsuccessfully attempting to seduce for multiple decades.

You will no doubt hear, “We certainly don’t want another Steveston” amongst other oft-repeated promises of doom if Ladner Harbour actually manifests change.

These are and always have been for some of our residents’ very real and not-to-be-disregarded concerns and fears.

Where will dear old and quite tired Ladner Harbour find ultimate renewal and salvation?

Jury is still out, but I wouldn’t bet on tourism per se nor promotion of our proud farming and fishing heritage.

No, we need to collectively come up with something quite different that will at least interest at first and then hopefully ignite excitement within our local populace. You know, the folks that actually live here.

Without that buy in, well, I just don’t see it.

Annual Spring Clean-Up in Delta has a nice way of turning junk into treasure Editor: Who doesn’t love shopping, especially when it’s free?

The Spring Clean-Up program recently experienced in Tsawwassen and Ladner allows the friendly exchange of unwanted goods amongst the community. It was nice to see so many children’s items that could be passed from one child to another and are so helpful for young families. Subsequent removal of unwanted items is an annual service provided by the City of Delta.

Thanks and respect to the generosity of residents who essentially donate quality items others may need or simply want.

Some simply wish to purge, de-clutter and save themselves a trip to the dump.

Getting rid of unwanted large items cluttering our environment creates an equally great feeling for those who wish to tidy up and reorganize. The extra waste removal offers a helping hand in disposing of messy items cluttering our personal space is also very satisfying.

Through the experience of what is not automatically hauled away as waste, people can learn about the difficulty in disposing of toxic materials, batteries, electronics, and very heavy items like mattresses or building materials.

Kudos to the City of Delta for keeping this city clean. Whether you are a collector or a neat freak, cleaning up our community through recycling and trading quality items proves that one person’s junk is absolutely another person’s treasure.

Essential trust in the team was lost.

That’s how Delta MP Carla Qualtrough described the expelling of former cabinet ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week.

“As a former athlete, I know what it means to be a member of a team,” Qualtrough said in a statement to the Optimist.

“Being able to trust your fellow teammates is essential to the overall success of the team. The same is true in government. Trust is not only important, it is essential to our system of government. I truly am saddened by the events that have transpired over the past several weeks.

However, with all that has come to light, it is clear that the essential trust that once existed has been lost.

It’s another good news budget for the Delta School District.

The district’s proposed operating budget for 2019/20 doesn’t include any cuts to help balance the books and even manages a small surplus projected at $63,000.

“Last year we shifted some things around but this year we didn’t take a penny from anybody,” secretary-treasurer Nicola Christ told the Optimist.

She added the district will have no extra reliance on revenue coming from the International Student Program. Also, an ongoing shortfall that had been funded through reserves

several weeks with Ms. Wilson-Raybould and Dr. Philpott has made it abundantly clear they could not continue as members of our team.”

The SNC-Lavalin controversy has engulfed the Liberal government for nearly two months following Wilson-Raybould’s allegations that as attorney

general she was improperly pressured by the Prime Minister’s Office to intervene in criminal proceedings against the Montrealbased engineering giant.

“Civil wars within parties are incredibly damaging because they signal to Canadians that we care more about ourselves than about them,” said Trudeau.

“That’s why I made the difficult decision to remove Ms. Wilson-Raybould and Dr. Philpott from the Liberal caucus.

“We’ve taken every effort to address their concerns, but ultimately, if they can’t honestly say that they have confidence in this team — despite weeks of testimony, face-to-face conversations, and phone calls with myself and other members of caucus — then they cannot be part of this team.”

Christ noted the district projects an increase of 10 students next year, bringing the total number enrolled in Delta schools to 15,407.

What’s helped the district in a big way has been an increase in funding announced by the provincial government last month. The increase includes $45 more in per pupil funding, bringing the amount per pupil to $7,468. The province is also giving more for inclusive education, Indigenous education and English language learning. That includes special needs students and, depending on what level they’re des-

ignated at, the district will receive increases of up to $3,600 per student.

Christ said it’s an important increase since special needs funding has not gone up in eight years.

“The extra funding also enables us to get extra services but what it is remains to be seen. Obviously, it will help in whatever we see makes the most sense,” she said.

The province will also cover the additional costs for the new employer health tax, which Christ said is over $1 million.

Parents and stakeholders can provide feedback on the proposed budget at a Delta school board meeting on Tuesday, April 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the board office in Ladner.

Delta allows refurbished donation bins to return

April 11, 2019 The Delta Optimist A13

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

Clothing donation bins are beginning to return to the City of Delta.

Delta has approved the Securr-manufactured Green Inspiration collection bins and expects to do the same with other varieties.

Delta previously ordered all donation bins to be removed following the death of a person in West Vancouver who became trapped in a bin.

Hugh Davies, the city’s manager of property use, told the Optimist that five or six bins are now back, but as they’re not permitted on city property, he could not provide exact locations.

“We gave all the bin owners a notice at the time that council ordered the removal and stated that if the bins could be brought up to higher safety standards and certifications we would re-evaluate,” said Davies. “Green Inspiration modified the bins. They did their testing and we went out and looked at them and we gave them

Davies said Diabetes Canada also did its own research and its new bins will also be making their way back into the community soon, following Delta’s approval.

“A couple of other bin operators are waiting for their tests and information to come in so we can look at approving those as well,” said Davies. “We just want to make sure they’re safe and people can’t reach into them.”

Pavel Lalev, a manager

with Green Inspiration, said he’s happy a solution has been found.

“It was a real problem,” he said. “We have been through at least five to six iterations and different improvements, reworking the locking mechanism, the chutes, all the different parts.”

He said the company started working with California-based Securr and came up with a design that makes it impossible for a person to climb into the bin.

Shannon Fitton and her family couldn’t believe their good fortune after friends and neighbours rallied to replace their outdoor basketball hoop.

“They all showed my boys that, yes, there may be bad people in this world, but that the good people far outweigh the bad.”

Her sons, Cooper, 13, and Silas, 9, were blown away by the community’s generosity too.

“They were pretty upset when the hoop was stolen,” said Fitton.

Fitton posted again on the Loop thanking every-

one who was involved in the generous gift, including: Laura Marriott, Tara Halisky Armstrong, Meghan Hussack, Matt Hussack, Jason Hooper, Lori Ann Helen Glavnic Bakker, the Scholz family, the Dodds family the Kolebaba family, the Cummings family, Connie Bentley and Shannon Philbrook.

Her husband Russ set up the hoop over the weekend and Cooper and

Silas are having a great time shooting baskets again.

“We will be chaining this one to the fence,” she said.

Say hello to Yvette

Yvette is a stunning, young adult Harlequin bunny who is on the small side of medium, just like her two friends Yvonne & Yolanda. All three buns were found abandoned in a small cage in an empty apartment. Despite that inhumane situation they are luckily no worse for wear. Each of these girls has a lovely personality and are fun, playful and friendly with people. We don’t think they were together very long and so we will allow them to be adopted separately.

Rabbits thrive with rabbit company so they would enjoy living life with at least one of their friends, or for someone looking for a rabbit to bond with their bunny. If you would like to meet Yvette, please contact Vancouver Rabbit Rescue at vrra.org Rabbits make wonderful, intelligent companions, have very distinctive personalities, and can be litter box trained. For more information on rabbits and their proper care, please visit House Rabbit Society at rabbit.org.

manufacturing as the Cold War pitted world powers against each other.

It brought together the most brilliant minds Canada had to offer, and more, in the quest for a fighter jet full of cutting edge technology capable of flying at twice the speed of sound.

But less than a year after the Arrow’s first test flight in 1958, the program was cancelled and the few existing Avro Arrows and all their specs were put to the torch in a controversy

that reverberates even today.

The presentation is free for all members of ElderCollege Delta. Those who aren’t members can attend by taking out a $10 annual membership, which includes free admission to other special events in April.

Physical Literacy is on the decline, is your child at risk?

By Dr. Susan Thompson, Program Director, Crescent Stables Ltd.

EQUINE ESSENTIALS

Scary headline, but don’t worry, we have the solution!

TACK & LAUNDRY SERVICES

First what is physical literacy? Physical literacy is the development of the basic movements kids need to learn, such as running, throwing, catching, and jumping, which lead to good balance and coordination. These skills translate to improved confidence and injury avoidance when participating in other sports and games.

We carry all the essentials for the horse, rider and more.

Why is physical literacy on the decline? I bet you can answer this one! Life is now full of screens and cars, while in the past these basic skills were learned doing farm chores, more PE classes, and active outdoor play. Many kids are behind in Physical Literacy and need more opportunities to develop these important skills. This is why, as parents, we need to help make these opportunities happen.

I think we can all change some things to increase these opportunities, but National Sport organizations are also tackling the issue. For example, Equestrian Canada has taken an active role to develop a program that any child can do, called Rookie Rider.

COME LEARN TO RIDE RIDING LESSONS FOR ALL AGES & ABILITIES LOCATIONS IN SURREY & BURNABY CERTIFIED COACHES LESSONS, CAMPS AND MORE….

What is Rookie Rider?

Rookie Rider is a program of physical games, basic gymnastics, barrel balance exercise, and horse knowledge sessions and can include riding a horse. It is designed for kids who want to ride horses, and kids who are not particularly interested in horses, but enjoy the games and exercises. And of course, the whole program is designed specifically to increase Physical Literacy so that the basic skills for any sport are developed.

This Spring Break, Crescent Stables ran the Rookie Rider course and it was a big hit with the participants and the adult helpers (who now want their OWN Rookie Rider course). Horses, and the associated chores of a horse farm, already give opportunities for learning movement skills but the Rookie Rider, with its deliberate programming for Physical Literacy, is super fun!

This summer, Crescent Stables will run 5 Junior Summer Camps, and camps will integrate the Rookie Rider programming into our always popular, sell out camps! We will also have two Intermediate camps which will also contain Physical Literacy components.

Stay tuned for a description of the psychological benefits of horses and riding, coming later in the Aug 9th edition of The Optimist.

ALS sufferer is recognized for increasing public awareness IAN JACQUES

For his service in educating and increasing public awareness of ALS, South Delta’s Brad Mackenzie was awarded with the Exceptional Public Awareness Program Award at the ALS Society of BC volunteer awards ceremony.

Mackenzie, who is living with ALS, wanted to help raise awareness about the disease by sharing his story with others.

“I thought it would be important to help spread awareness,” he said. “This disease is not publicized, nor funded enough, and I thought this would be a great way to inform others.

I am very appreciative of this award. It feels great to be recognized for the work that I do.”

He also wanted to bring awareness to the fact that ALS can affect young people as well.

“ALS BC needs your support through volunteering or fundraising,” he said. “This disease can

The Ladner Legion recently donated $1,000 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation B.C. Pictured for the cheque presentation are (from left): Hugh Johnson, Olwen Demidoff, Steve Henderson, Gerry Bramhill and Tom Easton.

Members from the Ladner branch of the Royal Canadian Legion recently visited Delta Hospital to see first-hand the priority equipment they helped fund.

Over the past 25 years, the Ladner Legion has donated over $200,000 towards priority equipment needs at Delta

Hospital.

The Legion’s most recent gift of $16,000 went towards purchasing a mobilizing ceiling lift for the hospital’s busy medical unit.

Executive members from the Ladner Legion met with staff from Delta Hospital and the Delta Hospital and Community

Health Foundation to see the ceiling lift and learn more about how it helps patients regain balance, strength and mobility that has been lost due to strokes, injuries and other medical conditions.

Branch president Gerry Bramhill said the group was very impressed with the capabilities of the ceil-

Saving time could soon go beyond meal preparation

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

It has come to my attention that many folks don’t cook much anymore. Or, at least, not according to what constitutes my definition of cooking.

My definition of cooking includes several steps.

First, you go to your recipe collection. Then you decide on something — say, tuna casserole.

Then you write out a shopping list, you head to the store, and you come home and assemble your meal.

Easy peasy.

This is how mother proceeded. Ditto with my aunts and grandmothers.

Back in my mother’s and aunts’ and grandmothers’ day, they weren’t aware of the latest in mealtime prep.

By this, I am referring to the myriad outfits that are now vying to have you order online. Place your request, and bingo! The ingredients are purchased, diced, sliced, peeled and marinated, and delivered to your door. And all you have to do is, well, put them together.

The thinking, I suppose, is that increasingly numbers of people are too busy with their jobs or their gym memberships or their social media accounts to be bothered with something as brutally pedestrian as recipe perusal.

Either that, or they are completely ill equipped to navigate the aisles of a grocery store.

My grandmother would never in a million years have paid someone to julienne her carrot sticks.

She was not only an expert at slicing her carrots; she was also a pro at growing

them.

Never in a million years would my mother have ordered our dinner via something like Skip The Plates — or whatever the heck it’s called.

I’m not exactly sure where this is headed, but it doesn’t seem to be entirely implausible that at some point, the food prep/delivery industry will not only bring me my meals, but also eat them on my behalf. (Hey, who wouldn’t love that? Why waste half an hour chowing down on dinner when you could be, oh, following folks on Twitter?)

And, quite frankly, I see no reason why such services couldn’t be expanded beyond the cooking thing. Why couldn’t also we hire people to sleep for us (Skip The Sheets?) or perform our daily ablutions (Skip The Shower?)

We are, it seems, at a crossroads in time where, well, time is hard to come by. My mother had time to cook and shop. But sadly, she never had Twitter.

Top Five Trends For Spring/Summer 2019 1. Rompers & Jumpsuits From dressy to casual, rompers and jumpsuits are the easiest way to pull together a cute outfit. Pretty prints, or basic colours, the ease of having one piece can be effortlessly styled with heels, flip flops, or sneakers and continue to be a hit for hit for 2019!

2. Wide leg pants Flowy, and Oh so comfortable, we’re seeing flowy pants in fun prints from paisley to stripes.

Think mens wear inspired stripes, and chic silky “Lounge wear” fabrics that can be dressed up with a stunning shoe, or brought down to grocery store ready with a pair of runners.

3. Kimonos Um, ok ladies, ever find yourself thinking “How do I add a pop of colour to my outfit?” The Kimono is the perfect answer to add style and comfort to almost any outfit. Wear it with jeans or throw it over your fave LBD (Little Black Dress) the Kimono is the ultimate finishing piece, and a trend that isn’t going anywhere soon.

4. Wided leg cropped denim This LA cool girl vibe is hitting the streets of Vancover hard! Best thing about this trend is it works for most footwear. The standard 25 inch inseam will showcase anything from an athetic slide, pointy toe flat, to a sexy cork sole wedge sandal.

5. Shout out to Shoulders Off the Shoulder and One Shoulder styles continue to be a big hit! Best way to

add a little sexy to any outfit, and so many styles are ultra bra friendly. Who needs killer cleavage when you can show killer clavicle with this trend? Add a little sass, and keep it total class!

With our Spring awaken Charity fashion show fundraiser being a HUGE success (we raised over 5K for Crohns & Colitis Canada) we are still absolutely crushing on Spring/Summer 19 trends!

Rescue dog Christian

Last week someone told me that he was a rescue dog Christian. That phrase really stuck in my mind, because if you understand the gospel, you know that we are all rescue dog Christians.

Christians are sometimes criticized for being “holier-than-thou,” and too often, for good reason.

The reality is that true followers of Jesus should be the last people to think they are holier than others. The Bible is clear that everyone sins and falls short of God’s glory. All of us.

We don’t have a relationship with God because we’re better than anyone else. It’s because we have realized our fallenness and

Minister’s Minute

have put our trust in Jesus for the forgiveness and new life we can’t earn and don’t deserve.

Next weekend, we celebrate Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified for us, and Easter, when he conquered death. The Apostle

BlinDS on Sale

Paul uses Jesus’ death to show us both our need and God’s love for us: “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly...But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

(Romans 5:6,8) He died for us when we were powerless, ungodly and sinners, not when we cleaned up our act and got religious. So if you have avoided Jesus because you don’t feel you’re good enough, he loves you. He gave his life for you. He invites you into his family. We’re all rescue dog Christians.

Bickering brothers on stage

Sidekick bringing eccentric modern comedy to arts centre next week 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

Sidekick Players continues its season of all-Canadian productions with The Best Brothers set to hit the stage next week.

When a free-spirited woman dies unexpectedly, her two middleaged sons bicker over her funeral arrangements, her personal effects and her feisty Italian Greyhound.

Unearthing decades’ worth of buried rivalry, they ponder meaningful questions like: Who did she like best and who gets the dog?

An eccentric modern comedy by Daniel MacIvor, one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights, it deals with life, death, aging parents and brothers who simply refuse to grow up... or don’t know how to stay young.

“It’s very funny, but it’s a black comedy,” said director Carroll Lefebvre.

“There are times you really want to laugh, but aren’t sure you should.”

The brothers are Hamilton, played by Jeff Pannell, and Kyle, played

by Todd-Elliot Gates.

“It’s been a real journey for all of us during rehearsals, with lots of discussion and soul searching at times,” said Lefebvre,

Hamilton, played by Jeff Pannell, and Kyle, played by Todd-Elliot Gates, star in The Best Brothers presented by Sidekick Players at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre starting April 17. who is being assisted by Bernice Fehr. “At first I was worried with the thoughts of just two characters on stage, but it’s been a lot of fun. They both get along really well together. I laugh all the time.”

Gates came aboard in Sidekick’s second season, while Pannell has been

with the company for six years, so both are well established with the community theatre group.

The Best Brothers is the first MacIvor play Sidekick has produced.

“The Best Brothers has been done a lot and when I was reading up on him, many of his plays

are based on his real life experiences, so I’m quite enjoying this. We’re looking at more of his work in the future,” said Lefebvre.

In addition to his film and theatrical credits, MacIvor wrote the libretto to the opera Hadrian.

His plays include Never Swim Alone, This is a

Play, Monster, Marion Bridge, You are Here, Culde-sac and A Beautiful View.

MacIvor has won a coveted Governor General’s Award for drama.

“MacIvor’s plays are a challenge — a challenge for me and for the actors,” said Lefebvre.

“Why I like doing Canadian plays is when you look at the script you don’t have a million directions like you do with American or British plays.

It’s here is the script and the director has almost free will as far as staging goes to do what she or he wants, so that’s what I love about the Canadian plays is that it gives me some creativity as well.”

The Best Brothers opens a two-week run at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre on Wednesday, April 17. There will be 8 p.m. performances from Wednesday to Saturday both weeks with the play closing on Saturday, April 27. There is also a matinee on Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m.

Reservations are highly recommended as performances sell out quickly.

Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for seniors (60+) and students (12 to 18). Reserve by calling 604-288-2415 or 604-9610072.

Tsawwassen author Janice Lynn Mather’s debut novel Learning to Breathe is a finalist for a Governor General’s Award.

Coming of age debut novel earns accolades for author 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

It’s her debut novel and already it is an award nominee.

Originally from the Bahamas, fiction writer and poet Janice Lynn Mather has lived in Tsawwassen since 2011.

Her debut novel, Learning to Breathe, is a Governor General’s Award finalist and has recently been nominated for the BC Book Prizes.

Released in 2018, Learning to Breathe is a coming of age story geared to a younger audience.

“The novel is ideal for anyone 14 years or older,” said Mather. “It has been very well received.

Receiving the award nominations is very humbling.”

Mather moved to Canada to study writing, specifically creative writing at the University of British Columbia.

“Writing has always been a passion,” she said.

“After writing other projects, I became passionate about writing about issues of girls and women.

That’s where the idea and interest of this story came about.”

Learning to Breathe tells the story of Indira Ferguson, who has done her best to live by her Grammy’s rules: study hard in school, be respectful and never let a boy take advantage of her. But it hasn’t always been easy, especially living in her mother’s shadow.

When Indy is sent to stay in Nassau, trouble follows her and she must hide an unwanted pregnancy from her aunt, who would rather throw Indy out onto the street than see the truth. Completely broke with only a handme-down pregnancy book as a resource, Indy desperately looks for a safe space to call home.

After stumbling upon a yoga retreat, she wonders if she’s found that place.

But Indy is about to discover that home is much bigger than just four walls and a roof — it’s about the people she chooses to share it with.

Mather is already working on her second novel, Facing the Sun, which will be released next year.

It is also a teen novel that follows four friends who are experiencing change in a quiet beachside community.

“They are also working through challenges in their own families and have to come to grips as they get older whether they can maintain their friendships through all the changes in their lives,” said Mather.

“A lot of my writing so far tends to be set in the Bahamas, but since I have lived in Canada now since 2002, there is certainly more cross-over into Canada.”

Learning to Breathe is available at Albany Books in Tsawwassen and Black Bond Books in Ladner.

This is an opportunity for the public to provide their input on the 2019/20 Delta School District draft budget. Budget recommendations will be released on Friday, April 12, 2019 and will be posted to the school district website at deltasd.bc.ca To sign-up to speak, please email Tracey at tnelsontrick@deltasd.bc.ca Connect with us: www.deltasd.bc.ca • @deltasd37 facebook.com/deltaschooldistrict

Celebrated conductor settles down in Ladner after travelling the globe 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

One of the most soughtafter ensemble directors, soloists and chamber music partners of this generation is now calling Ladner home.

After travelling the world with various ensembles, Alexander Weimann now focuses on his activities as conductor of the Pacific Baroque Orchestra in Vancouver, music director of the Seattle Baroque Orchestra and regular guest conductor of ensembles, including the Montreal Symphony, Symphony Nova Scotia, Arion Baroque Orchestra in Montreal and the Portland Baroque Orchestra. He also teaches at the University of British Columbia.

Weimann moved from Montreal to South Delta with his family four years ago. He said they fell in love with the community.

“With work commitments here in Vancouver and in Seattle, we were

Friends suggested we look at Ladner and we fell in love. It is a wonderful community to raise our family in.

“We are trying to get as active as we can in the community as well as in

the local music community. Two of our children attend Port Guichon (Elementary) and we have one at Delta Secondary, so there are lots of music performances at the schools.”

This Sunday at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC Weimann will lead the PBO, Vancouver Cantata Singers and four interna-

tionally renowned soloists (Sumner Thompson, Ross Hauck, Vicki St. Pierre and Danielle Sampson) in a large-scale performance of two Handel masterpieces: Coronation Anthems and Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne.

“It’s going to be an amazing afternoon of music. I’m very excited and honoured to be a part of this,” he said. “Chan Centre is a beautiful venue.”

A multiple Juno and Grammy nominee, Weimann can be heard on some 100 CDs. Recent highlights include an Opus and Juno Award-winning CD of Handel oratorio arias with soprano Karina Gauvin, a recording of Bach’s St. John’s Passion with Les Voix Baroques/ Arion Baroque Orchestra and a Juno-nominated recording of Handel’s Orlando with the PBO. Sunday’s concert starts at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 and available at earlymusic.bc.ca or by calling 604822-2697.

Ways to make Earth Day a larger part of your life

Earth Day is a celebration of the planet that people, plants and animals call home. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day was established to demonstrate support for environmental protection, and events are held each year on April 22.

It is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network and celebrated in more than 193 countries.

People might wonder what they can do at a local level to make Earth Day a larger part of their lives.

Here are just a few great ways to embrace Earth Day. • Make it a point to bike or walk to school or work.

If conditions are prohibitive, carpool to cut down on traffic. The fewer cars on the road, the less emissions in the air.

• Recycle e-waste in your home. E-waste is considered outdated electronic appliances that are no longer used. E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world.

• Invest in a reusable coffee cup or water bottle. This can reduce the amount of trash that

• Volunteer your time at an organization that has an environmental focus.

Or suggest a task with an eco-friendly slant, like picking up trash from a beach, to a local community group or club.

Earth Day is a great opportunity to get involved with environmental efforts in your community. ultimately ends up in the environment.

• Connect with nature by turning off electronics for the day and getting outside. Head to a park or nature trail and immerse yourself in the great outdoors.

• Do something as simple as switching paper

statements and bills to e-bills and online invoices.

This reduces reliance on trees for new sources of paper.

• Grow some edibles in your home garden or even on a windowsill. This is a fun, eco-friendly way to control the foods you consume at home and a great

way to save money as well.

• Reusing and recycling does not just pertain to water bottles and aluminum cans. Find out ways to repurpose or share items with others so they get more mileage. Also, make use of sharing services like bike sharing kiosks or Yerdle, an online

Simple ways to save fuel add up to help the environment

Defensive driving has long been touted not only as a safe way to operate a motor vehicle, but also a cost-effective one. When driving defensively, drivers are less likely to make sudden stops or accelerate quickly, each of which can waste fuel.

But even the most conservative motorists might want to do even more to conserve fuel.

Fortunately, there are many unique and simple ways to conserve fuel and save money.

• Park in the shade. A vehicle’s air conditioning system increases its fuel consumption more than any other auxiliary feature. In fact, air conditioning systems can increase fuel consumption by as much as 20 per cent.

That’s because AC systems require engines to work extra hard, which in turn requires them to consume more fuel. By parking in the shade on hot days, drivers won’t need to crank their AC systems in order to overcome the summer heat.

Conserving fuel is a goal for many drivers, and that goal can be achieved in a wide variety of ways.

• Listen to traffic reports.

It’s well known that idling greatly decreases fuel economy. Before leaving for work or to run errands, tune in to local traffic reports in the hopes you can avoid potential traffic jams that contribute to the needless consumption of fuel. If there’s no way to avoid traffic during your daily commute, consider investing in a vehicle with stop-start technology, which shuts the engine off when your vehicle comes to a halt before restarting it once you take your foot off the brake. This technology

can reduce fuel consumption by as much as five per cent.

• Make sure your gas cap is tight. A loose gas cap can adversely affect fuel economy. According to Napa, a loose gas cap is a common contributor to poor fuel economy. Loose gas caps allow fuel vapors to leak and that decreases your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. After filling up at the pump, be sure to close the gas cap tightly. Many caps will indicate how many clicks it takes to make sure the cap is closed as tightly as possible.

From just hoping to extend his career beyond midget to becoming a B.C. Junior Hockey League all-star and NCAA scholarship athlete, it’s been a remarkable 23 months for Aiden Hansen-Bukata.

The 19-year-old defenceman from Tsawwassen is fresh off an outstanding rookie season with the Nanaimo Clippers where he was named a second team BCHL all-star. That came weeks after accepting an offer from Rochester Institute of Technology to take his game to the NCAA Division 1 level for the 2020/21 season.

It’s a typical path for many elite hockey players, but not for one who had nowhere to go less than two years earlier.

Following what he called “a frustrating Grade 12 year” at the Delta Hockey Academy, Hansen-Bukata signed up for the Global Hockey prospects camp, hoping some team might take a chance on him.

Among the attending scouts and coaches was Darren Naylor who happened to be GM and head coach of the Delta Ice Hawks at the time.

He saw Hansen-Bukata’s potential and already had him pencilled in as a top six regular by the time he arrived at main training camp four months later.

He played alongside fellow rookie Gabriel LeBlanc and they quickly established themselves as the team’s top defensive pairing. The Hawks had their best regular season in franchise history and went on to win the playoff championship and finish second at provincials.

Along the way, HansenBukata simply got better with each game.

Increased confidence has allowed Aiden Hansen-Bukata’s game to blossom. The 19-year-old defenceman from Tsawwassen just completed an all-star season with the Nanaimo Clippers of the B.C. Junior Hockey League and has accepted an offer from the Rochester Institute of Technology. role in Nanaimo, signing Hansen-Bukata was among his top priorities.

The transition to junior “A” went even better than he imagined.

“Obviously you want him to come in and be good but he was dominating good,” said Naylor.

“He just exceeded expectations. It wasn’t just a 10-game span either. It was from game one until the end of the season.

Aiden is going to get to every level because of his brain. If you are a smart player, (junior A) is a bit easier to play. Junior ‘B’ can get scrambly at times where at our level everything is more structured

and the players are where you need them to be. He has got the IQ and is a great skater too. I’m just so happy for him.”

Hansen-Bukata’s rapid ascent has plenty to do with coaches who simply believed in him.

He got to play in every situation with the Ice Hawks and never had to worry about losing ice time if he made a mistake or two. By the end of last season he was logging about 30 minutes a game for Steve Robinson who had stepped in for Naylor to coach the Hawks to the championship.

“It’s incredible what confidence can do,” smiled

Hansen-Bukata. “That was the one big thing I was lacking, especially in Grade 12, being one of the older guys yet not being a top guy. I gained it in Junior ‘B’ and started rolling with it. I wasn’t scared to make mistakes. You have to learn from them too. Having a good coaching staff that is supportive of you and your game style is really helpful. It has paid dividends.”

Hansen-Bukata produced 21 points in 40 games with the Ice Hawks but took on a more offensive role as the season unfolded. He went on to finish second in team scoring during the playoffs

and that carried over to Nanaimo where he was among the league’s top rookie scoring defenceman with 37 points in 59 games.

“The regular season (in Delta) was about getting my feet wet where the playoffs were a good representation of where I could be most successful. And that’s when I realized it,” he said. “I also got to play in every situation and that was huge. I had seen it all and I just found everything was quicker (in the BCHL).

I found I adjusted to it pretty fast.”

His play at last fall’s BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack generated some interest from U.S. schools. However, it was outstanding weekend games against Cowichan Valley and Wenatchee that happened to have a RIT scout in attendance that resulted in a scholarship offer. Hansen-Bukata visited the school in February and was impressed with the environment.

“The rink is unbelievable and the school has everything I need. What really impressed me was the small class sizes,” he said. “I always want to put education before hockey.

Both my parents are teachers and, at the end of the day, that’s what I want to do too. But right now I’m looking at business management or communications.”

Hansen-Bukata is pleased he gets to have a leadership role in his final season of junior with Nanaimo before taking his game south. The plan over the next few months is to work on his shot and add more weight to his six-foot frame. According to his coach, that could lead to even more opportunities.

“He just needs to get stronger,” added Naylor.

“I really believe if he makes that commitment to building up his strength he could be looking at an NHL contract.”

Thormeyer makes splash at Canadian trials

Tsawwassen swimmer wins four races, including setting national record in 100-metre backstroke It was a record-setting few days in the pool for Tsawwassen’s Markus Thormeyer.

Thormeyer cruised to his fourth victory in as many races Saturday night at the Canadian swimming trials in Vancouver winning the 200-metre freestyle in a personal best time of one minute, 47.60 seconds.

He previously had won

the 100-metre freestyle plus the 100-metre and 200-metre backstroke.

His 100-metre back was a Canadian record and two other times were personal bests.

It’s the first time a male swimmer has won these four events at one Canadian trials.

“That was my last race, it feels good to cap it off with another win,” said the

21-year-old.

“I have trained for all of this. It feels great to see improvements in all these races.”

Two of Thormeyer’s teammates at the HPC also swam qualifying times for the 4×200metre freestyle relay at this summer’s FINA World Championships in Gwangju, Korea.
