Hotel makes way for casino Town & Country Inn demolished; Cascades Casino Delta to open next year SANDOR GYARMATI

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

The Delta Town & Country Inn has come down and Cascades Casino Delta will open in its place next year.

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd. has been given approval by the provincial Ministry of Transportation to proceed with its $70 million casino/hotel complex at the junction of highways 17A and 99.

It was the final approval required, paving the way for demolition of the hotel that began last Friday.

“We are very excited to finally be starting construction of the new Cascades Casino Delta,” Gateway CEO Tony Santo stated in a news release.

“We are looking forward to bringing this state-of-theart entertainment destination to such a vibrant and rapidly growing community.”

The casino will have up to 500 slots and 24 gaming tables as well as three restaurants: Match Eatery and Public House, Atlas Steak + Fish and a buffet.

The company says the new casino is expected to open in 2020, but wouldn’t say what month or how much the wait in getting final ministry approval has

The Delta Town & Country Inn has finally been demolished, which will allow Gateway to build a $70-million casino/hotel complex on the site. impacted the schedule.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation signed off on the project last fall following Delta council’s earlier approval. The casino was approved in a 4-2 vote by the previous edition of Delta council following a two-day public hearing last spring.

Opponents continue to

voice concerns, including money laundering, problem gambling, crime and more, urging the new Delta council to rescind civic support for the project.

The complex will include a five-storey, 116room hotel and meeting space. There won’t be a music lounge or sports

book.

BCLC estimates annual revenue coming to Delta would be at the top end of its initial $1.5 million to $3 million projection. The number of slots is smaller than casinos like the River Rock Casino Resort and Starlight Casino, but more than some of the smaller gambling venues around

the region.

The facility will have 800 parking stalls, while the road access is to have the same routing as what’s now in place but with improvements. A second exit would be available during peak times.

Gateway has Cascades brand casinos in Langley, Kamloops and Penticton.

Delta to reconsider banning plastic bags in stores SANDOR GYARMATI

Carriers Needed

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

Looking to make a little extra cash or to just get out of the house each week? The Optimist is always looking for carriers.

Delta will once again look at banning plastic bags from being handed out in stores.

Delta council last week agreed to explore the issue following a petition containing 300 names submitted by three Grade 11 students from Seaquam Secondary in Sunshine Hills.

Routes are currently available in Ladner and Tsawwassen. For more information about routes, call Katie at 604-946-4451 or email distribution@deltaoptimist.com.

In their submission, Ashley Meagher, Rayne Inkster and Carroll Gao noted that plastic bags have become a global problem and that Bangladesh became the first country to ban them in 2002. Slowly, other countries and cities have followed suit.

The students said certain cities in Canada, such as Victoria and Montreal, have banned plastic bags,

but a growing awareness of the harmful consequences hasn’t been enough to stop the widespread use of plastic bags.

Coun. Dylan Kruger, who has been corresponding with the students, agreed a ban should be considered.

ronment and promote healthy consumer habits.

It’s critical that Metro Vancouver continues to increase the amount of waste we are able to divert from landfills,” Kruger wrote.

Council approved Kruger’s request to refer the issue to Delta’s community livability advisory committee.

A memo by staff noted Delta had previously con-

sidered a ban on plastic grocery bags and, like several other jurisdictions, advocated for action at the provincial level through the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

“Provincial action on this issue would ensure inter-municipal harmonization and consistency for consumers, producers and businesses around the province,” the Delta staff response states.

The theft of a golden eagle statue in Ladner that made international headlines in 2016 continues to make its way through a slow and drawn out court process.

Forgotten Treasures International Inc. and owner Ron Shore are suing Lloyd’s Underwriters and other insurance companies for denying a claim after thieves allegedly made off with a golden eagle statue encrusted with hundreds of diamonds worth $930,000.

The company filed a 2018 notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court naming Lloyd’s, Endeavour Insurance Services Ltd., Hub International Canada West ULC, Hub International Ltd. and broker Mark Loewen as defendants.

In December, a B.C. Supreme Court registrar ordered Lloyd’s Underwriters to honour Shore’s civil claim, but

earlier this month, a B.C. Supreme Court judgment overturned that December decision, allowing the insurer to challenge the claim.

Forgotten Treasures say it operates an international treasure hunt to raise money for cancer research. In May 2016, Shore was promoting the hunt at an event in Ladner.

After the event, Shore took the eagle sculptures to his car and was allegedly jumped by thieves.

Delta police say the investigation into the theft is ongoing, but couldn’t provide any further information.

The synthetic turf field at Holly Park is going to be replaced this year.

Delta council has approved a contract for civil works in the amount of $522,162, a $491,778 contract for the synthetic turf replacement and a $51,480 contract for new goals and bleachers.

Last year council awarded a $60,000 contract to a firm to look at new turf field technologies that could be used for the all-weather field in East Ladner.

recycled rubber and sand.

Based on industry information, the lifecycle of the synthetic turf was projected to be between 10 and 15 years, depending on environmental conditions and usage.

More youth to get free access to recreation centres 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 youth will soon be able to get free admission into Delta’s recreation facilities.

Delta council has approved a recommendation by the parks and recreation department to expand free admissions to include those ages 10

to 18 or those in grades 5 through 12, effective on July 1.

Delta currently offers a complimentary admission pass to students in grades 5 to 8, a program that was introduced in 2005. It requires students to enroll annually at the start of each school year.

A report to council notes that over 300,000 visits to

recreation facilities have taken place to date under the program and it has led to a significant increase to the number of youth visits to recreation centres.

Eligible Delta residents will be able to visit a customer service office at any recreation facility and present proof of their birth date and residency in order to receive their pass.

Giants agree to move practices elsewhere

Lacrosse teams thank Toigo, pleased dry floor returning to South Delta Recreation Centre 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 Vancouver Giants are moving their practices elsewhere, much to the delight of local lacrosse teams and other dry floor users.

Parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz confirmed Giants owner Ron Toigo agreed to move the junior hockey team’s practices to other private locations by next week.

After the Easter weekend, the South Delta Recreation Centre should be ready for dry floor users.

The city has a contract with the Giants, who normally practice at the Ladner Leisure Centre, to provide ice time until early May should the hockey team have a lengthy playoff run. The Giants are doing just that, having just advanced to the Western Conference final of the Western Hockey League playoffs for the first time in nine years.

The Giants agreed to move their practices to the South Delta Recreation

Centre, but keeping the ice in still caused a disruption and local lacrosse groups, saying the city had a bad deal with the Giants at the expense of local users, were vocal about being displaced.

They maintained it would have made more sense for the team to practice at a facility such as Planet Ice, which is what will happen now as the city is providing the team ice time at the private rink.

Delta Junior Islanders president Darcy Phillips said they learned of the move from city manager Sean McGill last Friday.

Phillips said they will be meeting with McGill to discuss the situation, adding the original memorandum of understanding signed by the city, lacrosse groups and the Giants back in 2005 had been torn up by Delta in 2012 in favour of a deal even less favourable for local dry floor groups, something that needs to be addressed.

John Burr, president of the Ladner Pioneers senior lacrosse club, said they

Burr also posted on Facebook his appreciation for Toigo agreeing to move the practices in order to free up the dry floor for local sports groups.

t’s just a starting point.

The Century Group unveiled a master plan earlier this month for the redevelopment of the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall, a vision that features some inviting components, but also contains aspects that will undoubtedly create consternation in the community. The concept of an urban village, complete with a high street, public plaza and new library, is likely to be embraced by pretty much everyone, but it’s the number of condos and/or the height of those buildings that are sure to be sticking points.

There are several factors working in the project’s favour, including even though it has served the community well over the years, the Town Centre Mall is desperately in need of a refresh. Throw in the fact the Official Community Plan calls for density in the town core, a notion reinforced by Delta’s own mega mall-induced sustainability strategy, and there’s no arguing that a mix of residential and retail is the way to go.

The question then becomes how dense is too dense, which gets back to the idea that the master plan, and the 700 condos included in it, is only a starting point. Century initiated its community consultations for the Southlands with a plan that featured 1,900 housing units, a number that was chopped in half by the time the application was finally approved. I would assume the starting point idea also applies to the proposed building heights, an issue which has long been a line in the sand in South Delta, a delineation for many that separates small town from overgrown suburb.

Three towers of 12 floors or more is a marked departure from the norm so despite the expected rationalizations that the more density goes up, the less it has to go out, that aspect of the plan is almost certainly to become a lightning rod for loquacious Tsawwassenites.

Now that he’s extricated himself from the bus the mayor threw him under last week, it will be up to Century president Sean Hodgins to work with the public to massage the plan so it satisfies the majority.

That promises to be a noisy process, but when you combine Hodgins’ fairminded approach with a desire in all corners to see the tired-looking mall brought into the 21st century, it’s far from an impossible task.

Many benefits to be realized from walkable communities

T

he benefits of walkable communities are well documented and we should consider spending an adequate amount of time to better understand their merits. Walkable communities support an improved environment, benefits to personal health and community economic prosperity.

My wife and I were lucky to live in the West End for several years and we walked to parks, beaches, restaurants and to our jobs on Granville Island. Eventually we decided to start a family and enjoy the single-family home lifestyle. Now it is time to consider revisiting our first housing choice.

In such centres and communities, you would not expect to be able to walk everywhere to get what you want or need, but it’s likely the majority of service and retail needs could be met within a mile radius or less.

Fewer car trips to fulfill the necessities of life means less emissions from vehicles, and improved physical activity that may help to prevent sedentary diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Seeing your neighbours on a regular basis through engagement in public meeting spaces typical in densified areas can contribute to positive mental health and happiness.

Businesses within the walkable community only stand to benefit

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

from increased economic activity in the densified area.

Some people assume that densified areas will only create traffic chaos and gridlock. Lower person trips on a daily basis are common in dense communities. You may have to feed yourself on an arterial road to get to the highway to get to your job in another city but once home, you can walk to the butcher, the bookstore, the library and the other amenities that cluster to be a part of the economy in the walkable community.

Century Group recently showcased its revised master plan for the Town Centre Mall after having worked on it with city staff over the past year. As usual in these parts, nothing is simple and a major change to the dynamic and look of our community does require careful consideration.

There have been letters for and against the new proposal and that

will continue throughout the process, just like in any other major change to our surroundings.

A couple of letters to this paper have come from people who seem to be offended by any notion of change, even though that change will provide housing choice that is missing here and that will help to keep families together in their same town.

One letter suggested the “interests of developers come first with Delta council, the interests of the community a bad last.” The myth of the evil developer percolates to the top here. Mr. Potter from the epic Christmas movie It’s a Wonderful Life comes to mind.

Another letter suggests Century is deploying some sort of strategy by “gutting… the Town Centre”… and that…”Unless council stands up for the good of the community by banning the project altogether, the outlook for Tsawwassen is bleak indeed.” The same letter writer suggests “council rammed the Southlands development through.” Are you kidding me?

I don’t see the outlook for Tsawwassen being bleak at all.

Thoughtful development within our city will ensure we have a positive and vibrant future that should be embraced.

MP has done a lot for Deltans

Editor: Re: Cartoon, April 11 I did not agree with the cartoon which appeared to show our MP as being only a Liberal and not doing anything for us in Delta. This is not how I have experienced Carla Qualtrough.

When the person doing our taxes last year brushed off our enquiries about a federal offer to help disabled seniors make a claim on their tax returns, my husband went to the Delta constituency office.

Qualtrough’s staff helped him get the right forms to have his doctor fill in so he could make a claim as he is in a wheel-

chair. They went out of their way to be helpful and suggested they would help anyone else that he knew that could benefit from this.

They told us that Qualtrough would be setting up a series of sessions in Tsawwassen, Ladner and North Delta to help seniors with their tax returns this March. We were among the many seniors who were glad to receive this help. Her “team” was helpful and efficient.

This is our local story but from comments I hear around the community there are many others who have found her helpful. I

attended a talk she gave at the Tsawwassen Library where she reported on what she had done so far and said that she was at that time trying to untangle the federal pay system which the Liberals had inherited from the Harper Conservatives. She answered questions clearly and promised to find out if there was something she didn’t know about.

When we elect a member of Parliament, we don’t just choose someone who is “up” on local issues, we choose someone with the ability and intelligence to make good decisions for all of Canada.

Qualtrough in the same mud hole as Trudeau

Editor: Re: Qualtrough says lost trust forced caucus expulsions, April 11 I would suggest that Delta MP Carla Qualtrough give consideration to stopping her consumption of Justin Trudeau’s Kool-Aid and get on with protecting the interests of her constituents. Did the PMO write her comments in the

Optimist or did it just provide her (and every other Liberal caucus member) with talking points?

Trudeau’s handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair smacks of political backroom deals, cover-ups and, most assuredly, political interference with the independence of the Crown. Being tied to this wagon puts Qualtrough in the same mud hole.

Qualtrough was elected, not to hold the PM’s hand, but to provide her riding’s voice in Ottawa.

She should try asking her constituents what they say about this fiasco, the PM’s handling of it and her recent position on it.

Why would anyone vote again for a MP who can’t exhibit some understanding of who they represent?

More importantly, why did it take so long for the mayor and the dissenting councillors to conclude that it did not fit the original plan for Southlands?

Surely they could have raised these fundamental issues at or before the Jan. 28 council meeting when they approved the proposal going to public hearing.

If council had acted more proactively, is it not possible the applicant could have gone back to revise its proposal to get past these issues?

How much has this cost the applicants in lost time and money to have the rug pulled out at the last minute? What was the point of unnecessarily roiling up the Boundary Bay community with a public hearing?

Editor: Re: Loyalty has price, Murphy’s Law, April 11 While you no doubt believe firmly in your comment with respect to Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay and the 2015 federal election, it tends to overlook that the radio towers concerned Point Roberts, a community of the United States, and, therefore, outside the jurisdiction of Findlay.

A close examination of what Delta’s MP’s responsibilities and her contacts with American counterparts will reveal that there was very little Findlay could have done beyond what she did.

Inasmuch as your comment suggests, strongly, that Findlay could have and should have twisted American arms, such is simply foolish and reveals an ignorance about treaty

Mayor earns resident’s gratitude

Editor: Re: Four Winds proposal rejected, April 11 To have Delta council listen to the very serious concerns of its residents is a breath of fresh air, and council, particularly Mayor George Harvie, have my gratitude.

I live in Monterra and we have had to bear the brunt of construction on the Southlands but I voted for the Southlands approval after what was the longest approval process ever in this community’s history.

During all this time no one contemplated building anything more than a farmer’s market. This is

what was approved and this, I believe, will work best for our community.

To suggest a brewery, a winery and a distillery in this community was never in the interest of local residents. It was simply in the interest of Century Group to ensure an anchor tenant which would have been Four Winds Brewery.

It failed because of the courage of four on council, and I am glad it did so we can get on with the farmer’s market, which could well include a smaller restaurant/pub serving Four Winds beer.

I am all for that.

Editor: Re: Four Winds proposal rejected, April 11 Delta council’s rejection of the Southlands/Four Winds zoning amendments sends the wrong message and will put a chill on local businesses bringing forward new ideas that have strong public support.

In this case, Delta staff reported in January that 77 per cent of written comments from the public were in support of the project. To illustrate the concern, why did it take until the third reading of the amendments for the mayor to express his anger that Century Group would even dare to mention Four Winds on its website before anything was approved? Couldn’t he have simply asked them to remove it earlier?

More to the point, Findlay’s loss can be and ought to be contributed to the well-known interference in the federal election by nefarious foreign-funded associations whose sole object was to deny Canada a competent government and to replace Findlay with another candidate who has shown

true allegiance to the true Liberal functions which are spelled out clearly in the Liberal Party of Canada’s Constitution.

When the voters of Delta succumbed to the siren song of socialism and marked their choice for a Liberal, they revealed the shallowness of their understanding and now we all pay the price for that foolishness.

Towers would kill small town atmosphere in Tsawwassen

Editor: Re: Three towers included in master plan for mall, April 11 How do towers of this magnitude give Tsawwassen that small town feel (as spoken about in our community plan) that has attracted so many to either stay here or move here?

These proposed monstrosities — 12-, 14- and 16-storey buildings — will once and for all kill that small town atmosphere.

We will become another Richmond, Burnaby or New Westminster.

We have the opportunity at this time to give our community lasting small town appeal. We should be designing around the seaside, First Nations, country theme that is natural to Tsawwassen, not building towers to block the skyline.

People keep getting sold on this concept of density and lower cost housing, but that is a developer’s

fairy tale. More is not necessarily better.

My tenure here goes back to the mid-1960s and I have seen a lot of changes in this town and Ladner.

We have been pretty lucky that both still have a feel of country charm that fits into a modern world.

With the development of Southlands and other inevitable developments, the congestion will choke us up to a level of frustration without high densification. The main artery in and out of Tsawwassen is already taxed, with so many lights that people are searching for routes through neighbourhoods to bypass the bottlenecks.

The road cannot be widened, so it will be lineups all through the day.

The developers have the artists draw these Disneyland pictures and then boast about the green spaces and community access areas. It’s just smoke and mirrors

because when you build more on the same space we just end up with congestion.

I have travelled throughout Europe where so many small towns have existed in nearly original form for multitudes of decades.

They all survive nicely without more people crowding into each other’s space.

The common plea is, oh my children cannot stay in the town they were born in because housing costs are too high. Well, I spent my first 12 years growing up in Vancouver and I am not the only Vancouverite that cannot live in my city of birth.

Will growth occur in this fantastic town? Most certainly, but just be careful what you wish for because you can’t go back to charm once lost.

Referendums should be used when major changes are proposed.

Makes sense to put density in town core

Editor: Re: Century should have asked public prior to master plan, letter to the editor, April 11 First off for those who don’t know, if the public was consulted for every early proposal a developer dreamed up, there would be no Tsawwassen in any way, shape or form. Due process will give the public a say in due time.

I am a big fan of densification in the town core.

If we want to turn into a chopped up Richmond, we should support the proposed townhouse development on 8A Avenue and watch as all the hydro properties along 53A Street get bought up for townhouse speculation.

Wouldn’t you love to drive down 53A Street

BlinDS on Sale

beside a row of three-storey townhomes from 16th Avenue to 6th Avenue?

If we allow densification away from the town centre, it will open the door to random developments in the middle of our neighbourhoods we all so cherish.

PS: I thought the Four Winds brewery/restaurant was an awesome idea.

Crowdsourcing is a powerful social activity. From fundraising for an important cause to impacting government decisions, crowdsourcing has empowered citizens in ways never seen before.

And I want to use that citizen power here in Delta to help keep our communities safe.

Recently we launched the Community Watch Program. Our plan is to work with our residents to create a database of security cameras so that when something happens in a neighbourhood, we know who may have footage useful to our investigators.

Whether it is a suspicious person knocking on doors or a vehicle used in a crime, gathering foot-

age from residents’ home security systems can help us piece together what happened, and gather that crucial piece of evidence that links a person to a crime.

By knowing what cameras are out there, we can quickly gather information and act on a crime. I think back to the Boston Marathon bombing and all the video footage turned into police. All those people recording the finish line had important information related to the bombing. Surveillance footage captured the suspect’s movements, which ultimately became key evidence.

Here in Delta, my concern is thankfully more often related to property crime and traffic safety.

But the principles remain the same: by working with the public and using video evidence, we can do our jobs better. We can serve our communities better.

We are “no call too small” which means we respond to and investigate all crime. Unfortunately, if we have no evidence or witnesses to a crime such as a theft from auto, we are limited in what we can do.

But if we can obtain foot-

age of a suspect, we can potentially identify him or her and proceed with an investigation.

Video footage means we can connect a person to multiple crimes and hold him or her accountable. We can seek courtimposed conditions that restrict them from being in an area where they commit crime. It makes a difference to neighbourhood safety.

Delta is an amazing city, and it is our citizens that make it that way. I’ve said it before and will continue to say it: I am incredibly proud to be the police chief here and I believe that the Community Watch Program takes the relationship between the public and the Delta police to a new level.

If you want to participate in the program, you can fill out an online form at deltapolice.ca/cwp. The number and locations of your cameras will be added to our database. If an investigation is occurring in your neighbourhood, we may contact you and ask you for footage. It only takes a minute or two.

And most importantly, thank you for working with us.

Together the McGills — Kheya, Sean, Taylin and Erin — have found the strength to overcome the challenges resulting from the 14 brain surgeries that Taylin has had to endure.

Taylin McGill is shown with Jake Nerwinski (top) of the Vancouver Whitecaps and Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks.

Taylin vows to never give up

After enduring 14 brain surgeries, Tsawwassen teen to receive Courage to Come Back award MARTHA PERKINS

m a r t h a p e r k i n s @ h o t m a i l .c o m

Taylin McGill was only 10 days old when her mother’s intuition kicked in. Something was seriously wrong.

What Erin McGill didn’t realize as she anxiously drove her listless baby to B.C. Children’s Hospital was that this was about to become the family’s new normal. Taylin’s illness, and the illnesses and challenges to come, would upend all of their lives. They would spend months sitting by Taylin’s hospital bed, stare down death numerous times and find strengths they did not know they have. But together the Tsawwassen family would also discover gratitude for the simplest of life’s joys and be awed by the community of support that’s been built around them.

Sixteen years after Taylin was diagnosed with salmonella bacterial meningitis — a life-threatening infection followed by swelling in her brain that resulted in hydrocephalus and, later, brain damage and epilepsy — she gave a speech about her years in and out of hospital. In it, she poked good-natured fun at the Vancouver Canucks who were in the audience.

“I’ve had 14 brain surgeries, five lumbar punc-

tures and seizures that have lasted as long as 90 minutes,” Taylin told the hockey players before she delivered her punchline: “And you think you’re tough?”

When Taylin tells this story a year later, her smile not only reaches her eyes, it consumes them.

Her entire face beams the way it does in photos of her in her hospital bed, her right eye covered in a bandage because of permanent damage to an optical nerve, her scalp a criss-cross of sutures after having spent hours in the operating room just a day earlier. She’s an imp.

A family can never be prepared for all the traumas the McGills have been through but if ever there was a family with the ability to endure, it’s this one. On April 24, when Taylin takes to the stage to receive the 2019 Courage to Come Back award in the youth category, she’ll share the accomplishment with her mom, dad Sean and 20-year-old sister Kheya, just as they’ve shared all the ups and downs that have earned Taylin such a prestigious distinction.

It won’t be the first public recognition of Taylin’s resilience and remarkable, happiness-filled spirit. In 2018 she was chosen as the Air Canada/Canucks Mark Maker. She was the

B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Champion Child in 2017.

She was the Vancouver Whitecaps’ inaugural kid captain and Delta Rotary gave her the Inner Strength award in 2015.

But it’s in her dayto-day interactions that Taylin really shines. She’s unfailingly cheerful as she accepts and copes with whatever comes her way. She understandably showed frustration when a surgery left her mute

to go get her shirt from her room is difficult for her, as she cannot put a picture in her head as to what she needs to do.”

As well as having a oneon-one educational assistant, Taylin’s family spends a lot of time teaching her skills to manage her challenges.

Since Taylin gets lost very easily and could not take a bus on her own — she’d forget her stop and could easily be taken advantage of — the McGills carefully co-ordi-

Trust me, it scares the heck out of us, but you just push through it.

ERIN MCGILL

for a few weeks and had a meltdown when the nurses needed to shave off her hair in preparation for yet another surgery but those are tiny blips in her demeanour.

However, the family does not make light of how Taylin’s challenges have affected them.

Because of brain damage, Taylin has difficulties with such things as shortterm memory, executive planning and spatial awareness.

“For example,” says her nomination by the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation, “asking Taylin

nate each day. They want Taylin to be as independent as possible while also recognizing the dangers.

“Trust me, it scares the heck out of us,” Erin says, who regularly gets anxiety attacks, “but you just push through it.”

Luckily, Sean and Erin, who have been together since high school, keep each other in balance.

“Erin is more emotional in the time,” Sean says, “and lets things out. When things are going sideways it doesn’t bother me and I get almost stronger and don’t need much sleep and feel positive. Then six

months later when things are good and Erin’s fine, I feel all whacked out and terrible and anxious. I realize it’s because I have had everything bottled up. I can feel the layers unwinding and that doesn’t feel good.”

They’ve done everything in their power to always be cheerful in Taylin’s presence. They’ve also tried to keep life as normal as possible for both daughters. At an early age Kheya accepted the extraordinary responsibilities of being an older sister to someone with special needs. When Kheya was five, she revealed to a child psychologist that she wanted her parents to have another baby; she worried she couldn’t take care of Taylin by herself should something happen to her parents and thought a sibling would help.

“Kheya came out of the womb mature and thoughtful,” says her mother who, like Kheya, is an empath, almost to their detriment during the tough times. Kheya’s now in her second year of kinesiology at UBC, focusing on becoming a doctor, and fully expects and wants to one day assume her parents’ role of keeping Taylin safe and happy.

“Taylin and I have a pact,” Kheya says. “When we grow up, Taylin gets to live with me. She gets

sushi once a week, Maui ribs twice a month and in return she takes care of my kids.”

They’ve been buoyed by their incredibly close-knit families, their faith and the support of friends, neighbours and co-workers — Erin is a part-time Grade 4 teacher, Sean is Delta’s city manager — who, unbidden, always step in to ease the demands of family life. As for B.C. Children’s Hospital, the family agrees with Taylin’s assessment that “it’s the greatest place ever.”

The McGills know there are challenges ahead.

Taylin’s seizures are once again more frequent, setting off Erin’s intuition that something is wrong. It could be a blockage in one of Taylin’s shunts, which will require the family to buttress their strength to undergo another brain surgery.

But as they face down whatever is to come, they too will find strength from Taylin’s upcoming Courage to Come Back speech.

“I have a motto,” Taylin says. It’s the words on the necklace her parents gave her. With a smile, the teen repeats its mantra: “Never give up.”

The Courage to Come Back gala raises money for Coast Mental Health.

Kirk Holifield memorial game nets KidSport almost $5,000 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

KidSport Delta is once again benefitting from the generosity of the community through a memorial hockey game and pub fundraiser.

In February, friends and former teammates squared off at the Kirk Holifield memorial hockey game at Planet Ice in Delta. There was also a fundraising after-party at The Landing Pub. Holifield died tragically in 2007.

This is the fourth year the hockey game and pub night have benefited KidSport Delta. This year more than $4,800 was raised, bringing the fouryear total to well in excess of $10,000.

“The more we can give out, the more we can keep our kids active and fit in our community,” said KidSport Delta chair Carlene Lewall. “Last year we gave out $65,000.

Donations like this are huge. This means six kids we can give money to.”

Michelle Holifield, Kirk’s mom, said events like the memorial game and pub fundraiser would never happen in larger communities.

“It’s just nice to live in Ladner and know that so many people remember Kirk and want to support.”

KidSport Delta was formed in 2010 after a boost in sport from the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games and began giving out grants for sport registration fees in 2012.

Money is raised locally thanks to generous partners, sponsors and donors.

The Delta chapter’s

next major fundraising event is its fourth annual Gift of Sport gala on Saturday, April 27 at 6 p.m. at Tsawwassen Springs.

Tickets are $125 each, available by calling 604889-1060.

New this year is an after-party dance with music from The Iconics.

Admission for this is a $20 donation at the door. The dance starts at 10 p.m.

Earth Day is next week on Monday, April 22. On the first Earth Day in 1970, I was a university student and attended the outdoor gathering on my campus.

Where have we come since then, nearly 50 years ago? There is more worldwide awareness of our impact upon the natural environment, and our need to protect the Earth and not just consume it. Toxic pollutants are in most countries not dumped directly into rivers and streams the way they were when I was a boy.

But overall the health of Earth’s environment is more precarious than ever. What will we pass onto those who come after us? Let’s make Earth Day every day!

St. David’s Anglican Church

Thomas Berry was a theologian. He was also referred to as a “geologian” or Earth scholar. Here is a poem he wrote: Look up at the sky — The heavens so blue, the sun so radiant, The clouds so playful, the soaring raptors, The meadows in

bloom, the woodland creatures, The rivers singing their way to the sea, Wolf song on the land, whale song in the sea, Celebration everywhere, wild, riotous, Immense as a monsoon lifting an ocean of joy And spilling it down over the Appalachian Landscape, Drenching us all with a deluge of delight As we open our arms and rush toward each other, You and I and all of us, Moved by that vast compassionate Presence That brings all things together in intimate Celebration, Celebration that is the universe itself.

Easter egg hunters get ready

Tsawwassen Rotary and Ladner Business Association host events this weekend 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 Easter long weekend is highlighted by two great community events here in South Delta.

On Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to noon, the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen presents its annual Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast in Diefenbaker Park.

The free event features the breakfast served up Rotary style as well as pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, balloon twisters, cookie decorating, a bouncy castle and more than 10,000 Easter eggs up for grabs donated

by Save-On-Foods.

The Easter Bunny will be joined by the Delta police Safety Bear for the egg hunt, which begins at 10:30 a.m.

“The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen has enjoyed putting on this event for a long time for our South Delta residents,” said Rotarian Leslie Abramson.

“This is one of three community events that our whole club gets involved in and we love to see all the happy faces in the park that day.”

The Easter Bunny and the Delta Police Pipe Band have both been lined up

The Ladner Business Association has the Easter Bunny lined up to once again to lead a parade (above) along Delta Street on Easter Sunday, followed by an egg hunt at Memorial Park. The Easter Bunny will also be at Diefenbaker Park on Saturday for the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen’s annual event. to take part in the Ladner Business Association’s annual parade through Ladner Village on Easter Sunday.

The parade begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 21 at the Ladner Community Police Station and proceeds down Delta Street to an Easter egg hunt at Memorial Park.

Kids are encouraged to wear their bunny ears and decorate their bikes, wagons and strollers.

The event is free thanks to the generosity of many local sponsors.

“It’s an event that the LBA really looks forward to putting on,” said event chair Mandip Gill. “The LBA is excited to see the growth of the event. I think kids enjoy coming out and being able to participate in the parade and decorate their bikes and then you have the Easter egg hunt with the Easter Bunny and parents can take photos, so it’s a really familyfriendly event. We look forward to the community coming out to enjoy part of their Easter Sunday with us.”

Hours of extra rehearsal time and preparation paid off for music students at South Delta Secondary.

Last weekend 45 students from the SDSS music department picked up nine awards at the Heritage Music Festival in Seattle.

The junior choir won gold, concert choir silver and jazz band bronze.

The Sun Devils were also selected as the most outstanding choral group and SDSS earned the Sweepstakes Award for best overall combined score from the three choirs.

Solo maestro awards were also presented to Connor Nelson, Trista Lang and Kirra Dodd, while Nelson also won an

Ovation Award for his outstanding musicianship.

South Delta Secondary has been attending this national festival at various locations for several years and has achieved many awards, but last weekend’s efforts tops them all, according to SDSS music director Danielle

Hamilton.

“Winning the Sweepstakes Award was a real shock — we have never had that happen before,” said Hamilton.

“In 2009 we won most outstanding choral group in New York City and it is almost 10 years to the day that here we win this

again in Seattle, but then we sweep it with their Sweepstakes Award? That was not on my radar. It was so cool and an unreal experience.”

Hamilton credited all of the students for their fantastic effort.

“I have to say the level of commitment this year

and dedication to the rehearsal process, and the extra rehearsals we had at lunch hour to get ready for this was really nothing like I have seen before,” she said. “Last year we were half a point away from gold in Anaheim, so the students were hungry.

They wanted to prove to themselves that they could achieve gold, so we just had it in our minds that we would win.

“When they announced the award, the kids were just elated because that was their goal, but then to top it off as a total program, which honours every single kid that went on the trip, it says to every single kid that your music program is honoured with the highest honour we can give you. I think that’s an amazing thing for everyone.”

Dave Lemire is climbing stairs for B.C.’s kids.

The fifth edition of the Climb for Kids fundraiser in support of BC Children’s Hospital will take place on Saturday, May 4 at Fred Gingell Park in Tsawwassen.

Lemire and a group of his coworkers from the Tsawwassen Save-OnFoods are putting on the fundraiser, which will see Lemire climb the park’s stairs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Delta Firefighters Charitable Society, which has been on hand every year, will be back again to put on a barbecue starting at 11 a.m.

“I’ll be on the stairs for the full four hours hoping family, friends and customers will also take part,” said Lemire. “This

could one of the last years for myself, but the store will continue on. Save-OnFoods is a huge supporter of BC Children’s Hospital.”

Lemire also has special connections to the charity as additional motivation.

“My nephew Noah would not be alive without the support of BC Children’s Hospital,” he said.

“Another customer also makes this the reason why I do this. I’m very passionate about this.”

Those from the store helping put the event together include manager Rajan Anand, Peggy Graham and Shirley Quakenbush.

“The people at the store and their support is just overwhelming,” Lemire said. “I’d also like to thank Gary Fast who has been training with me for the past 12 weeks. Also my

family; there is no way I could do this without their support.”

On Saturday, April 27 from noon to 2 p.m. there will be a spin the wheel fundraiser at the store to support the event.

Donations will be accepted on event day as well as in advance.

There are also two NHL jersey’s up for raffle, one from Brent Seabrook and the other from Brendan Gallagher, that are on display at the store.

Customers can visit SaveOn-Foods in Tsawwassen to purchase their tickets.

The Climb for Kids has raised more than $40,000 over the years.

“The community is unbelievable,” Lemire said.

“I really want people to come out and join us.”

New level of sustainability with South Delta shoreline clean-up

HAPPY EASTER Mayor George V. Harvie and Delta Council wishes everyone a happy Easter filled with love, joy, and blessings.

Have a warm and enjoyable Easter weekend!

Sustainability is the focus of this year’s shoreline clean-up in South Delta.

Along with the help of local businesses and volunteers, Becir Real Estate and 505-Junk are once again hosting the South Delta Shoreline Cleanup in celebration of Earth Day. The cleanup will be held rain or shine on Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wellington Point Park in Ladner.

Accessing every local shoreline by foot and by boat, Becir and crew are committed to doing their part to maintain a happy and healthy environment for humans and creatures alike.

“We were overjoyed with the success of last year’s shoreline clean-up,” said Brad Becir. “With help from a team of volunteers, we collected over 5,200 pounds of debris from South Delta shorelines in what has become the largest and most extensive cleanup south of the Fraser.”

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Along with the help of local businesses and volunteers, Becir Real Estate and 505-Junk are once again hosting the South Delta Shoreline Cleanup in celebration of Earth Day. Collected material was weighed at each shoreline location and transported to Wellington Point for sorting. This year’s goal, along with effectively removing unwanted debris, is to build on last year’s sorting process to minimize the impact on the landfill.

“Anyone can easily grab a plastic garbage bag, fill it with a variety of debris and toss it in the dumpster,” he said. “With the help of 505-Junk, we want to showcase the more

sustainable options when holding this type of event.”

Debris will be sorted for recycling, reusing or repurposing and transported to appropriate locations.

There will be an opening ceremony before teams head out to their respective shorelines.

Organizers are looking for volunteers to RSVP to their Facebook Event page at “South Delta Shoreline Cleanup” where they can also register which shorelines they would be interested in cleaning.

Sometimes, putting all of your eggs in one basket can maximize opportunity.

Holding your investments at a variety of financial institutions could seem like an effective way to diversify your investments, but it may be holding you back from reaching your long-term financial goals.

Consolidating your investments can have many benefits including greater clarity on your financial picture and a more comprehensive plan to reach your goals.

SIMPLICITY

Reviewing multiple investment account statements can be confusing and make it difficult to track the overall performance of your portfolio.

FEWER FEES

With multiple accounts at different institutions, you may be paying more fees than you need to. Consolidating your investments can help reduce the number of account fees and charges you pay.

EFFECTIVE DIVERSIFICATION

Owning similar investment products in different accounts could potentially work against you.

TAX EFFICIENCY

As an investor, you pay tax on a wide range of investments, but not all investment income is taxed equally. When your investments are consolidated in one place, it makes it easier to balance your holdings between registered and non-registered accounts, and determine which investments should be held in each, so that you can increase overall tax efficiency. ®

A HOLISTIC PLAN

A comprehensive financial plan is best achieved when your advisor has a clear view of your entire financial picture. A better understanding of your circumstances results in more relevant advice and a fully integrated plan that reflects your goals and aspirations.

Ladner artist to showcase her landscapes at Art Vancouver

Ladner artist Jodie Blaney will be showcasing her contemporary Canadian landscape paintings at Art Vancouver 2019 April 25 to 28 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Over the past decade, Blaney’s distinct style has won praise from collectors who are drawn to her vibrant colours and bold forms.

Her current body of work in acrylics features whimsical, stylized compositions that evoke such iconic influences as Lawren Harris and Emily Carr, while exploring the enchanted landscapes of her West Coast childhood.

“I draw largely on memory, imagination and intuition to freely express my subjects,” she said. “Places I’ve visited, remembered

or imagined, all find their way onto the canvas. I paint from the vantage point of being close up, fully immersed in each subject.”

Blaney is an active member with the Federation of Canadian Artists and a member of the South Delta Artists Guild. She paints full-time from her studio gallery in Ladner.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS QUESTION:

Q: Can I straighten my teeth without the use of the

TIME AND TIME AGAIN I HEAR, I WOULD LOVE TO DO WHAT YOU DO!

traditional metal braces?

A:

Everyone has heard of the nightmare stories of having metal brackets and wires in their mouths and what kind of damage they can do. Cleaning and flossing your teeth is nearly impossible with these traditional braces. Every month wires get tightened and changed causing the mouth to never really heal properly and the person to deal with the discomfort every month.

Dr. Raj Dhiman What we offer at our dental practice is clear tray braces that have no metal or 604-946-9588 wires to interfere with everyday life. These series of trays are slightly different every 2 weeks to correct the alignment of the teeth. The movement is very gradual so there is almost little to no discomfort that you would typically experience with the traditional braces. Monthly appointments are not required because the trays are so simple to change at home on your own. Full time wear during the day and more importantly at night allows treatment time to be less than the braces. Brushing and flossing is just the same as if you weren’t straightening your teeth at all.

Complimentary consultations are offered at our office to see if you’d be a candidate for this form of braces.

What type of BBQ is right for me?

QUESTION Someone I know has a hearing loss but is reluctant to seek help. What should I do?

ANSWER Convincing someone to seek help for hearing loss is the right thing to do, but it’s not always easy.

The inability to hear warning sounds or the voices of dependents could potentially put lives in danger.

Emotionally, the impact can resonate throughout family and social circles — from frustration with repeating things, to sadness at seeing a loved one isolate themselves from the people and activities they enjoy.

Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

Here’s what you can do: •

Talk to your loved one about their hearing concerns.

•

Gently remind them of their hearing loss every time you “translate” or repeat something for them.

•

Encourage them to visit a hearing professional to learn more and get their questions answered.

Remind them they have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain by doing so.

•

Offer to schedule and attend the hearing consultation with them.

We offer hearing tests free of charge and are available at any time to assist you. Call us at 604-943-0033 to book your free hearing consultation.

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

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

If you have any other questions, please feel free to call and book a co omplimentary consultation with us.

When it comes to the barbecue, there are many schools of thought as to which will give the best results. The best grill for you is the one that fits your needs, your lifestyle, and your budget. When deciding which kind of grill to buy, you first need to honestly consider what you want to get out of a grill: Do you want to be able to put together a grilled meal quickly, with very little time and effort? Or does flavor matter most? What kind of space do you have?

The gas BBQ most people are familiar with. Fast heat, push button ignition, versatility with options like a rotisserie and multiple burners.

Whether natural gas, or propane, the gas grill is a great choice for anyone. The electric grill offers the least authentic grill flavor but can generally be used almost anywhere. Electric grills can heat up quickly and don’t require any fuel other than an electrical outlet nearby. If you are restricted by local laws or limited to a small balcony then you might only have an electric grill option. A pellet grill burns hardwood pellets that are made from wood scraps. They offer a true hardwood flavour and are also good smokers. Lastly the charcoal BBQ offers better flavour than gas grills and some barbecue purists claim this is the only way to grill!

Whether you are looking for a space saving propane BBQ or a coveted “Big Green Egg”, we can help you decide what BBQ fits your lifestyle at Home Hardware.

Sales so common it’s hard to take them seriously It’s difficult to find anything resembling a regular price during visit to the mall

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

The husband needed new shorts for spring, so suggested we go to the mall.

“I hear there’s a big sale on right now,” he said.

I pondered the comment, which struck me as odd, given that the big sale is the norm at the mall.

“There’s always a big sale on,” I said. “We can go next week or even next month, and the big sale will still be happening.”

It’s true. Whenever I go to the mall, the comeon signs in the storefront windows scream that EVERYTHING IS 50-PERCENT OFF! Or that I can

BUY A SWEATER, GET A SECOND ONE FREE! Or that if I spend $50, I’ll get a gift of my choice!

It’s puzzling, given that there seldom appears to be anything resembling a “regular price.” Sure, there’s usually a price tag on the item — be it a shirt, a dress or a pair of sneakers — but it doesn’t mean much, given that it’s usually slashed in two.

We went to the mall, seeking new shorts for spring, and began to poke

around.

“Let’s go in there,” the husband said.

“Everything’s marked down.”

“Everything’s marked down everywhere,” I said.

“I think that means there’s no such thing as a markdown.”

Besides, I told him, I wanted to go someplace there was not only a sale, but also a freebie on offer.

“I want a gift of my choice,” I said.

“Like what?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” I said.

“Maybe some lipstick. Or a novel.”

“It’s a sportswear store,” he said. “They won’t sell lipstick or novels.”

“Well, then,” I said.

“Let’s move on.”

We moved on, and eventually found what the husband wanted: olive green shorts in a creasefree fabric that would be, oh, so right for spring.

They were $60, but he got them for $25.

“Do we have your email

ADVICE FROM THE PROS QUESTION:

QUESTION:

What are your protocols for dealing with an emergency situation while your staff are with our mom?

I live in a 25 year old Strata Building. Last year we had a couple emergency service calls for our boilers, a couple drain line backups and a few leaks. Our Plumbing costs were quite high. Are we using the wrong Plumbing Company? - Tom / Tsawwassen

ANSWER: It is vital to know how any unexpected emergency situation will be handled in your home. Our protocol is that in the event of any accident or spontaneous medical situation, our attending staff will immediately call 9-1-1. We can provide no diagnostics, or medical administration, so these incidents would require direction from a medical health professional.

Lifestyle Assistant Inc.

This means that if our staff arrive to find you or your loved one fallen, injured or in any medical distress, we will assess the scene and call emergency services. Any fall, or suspected bump to the head should always be assessed by a doctor. Our staff will stay with you and assist in any way they can until help arrives. Once help arrives, staff will also call our HoneyDo office and in turn, call your emergency contact(s).

604-809-7605

honeydoinfo@gmail.com honeydolifestyle.com

This protocol is relevant even if a DNR order is in place, as you may still require urgent, specialized or specific care to manage the situation.

Celebrating a decade in Delta!

Meanwhile, we always stress the importance for seniors living alone to explore having LifeLine, or another similar service, installed in their home for safety and peace of mind.

ANSWER: I can’t say you are using the wrong Plumbing Company but, I will guess you are using the wrong approach. Responding to Emergencies is exponentially, higher, cost than preventative maintenance!

Your boilers should be serviced and inspected at least once a year- (filters changed, heating water checked, turned on and off seasonally and checked for deficiencies). This will increase their longevity, increase energy efficiency and stay compliant with all warranties. You should not have your Boilers going down if they are maintained properly. This applies to all of your equipment.

QUESTION:

I have been collecting different Toonies for my Grandson and would like to know how many different types there are?

CAN I GET AN EQUITY TAKE OUT ON MY MORTGAGE TO RENOVATE MY PROPERTY OR PAY OFF MY CREDIT CARDS?

ANSWER: The first $2 coin (usually called Toonies) came out in 1996.

Since that time there have been 25 regular type Toonies and 14 commemoratives. The commemoratives are 1999 Nunavut, 2000 Knowledge, 2006 Churchill, 2008 Quebec City, 2011 Boreal Forest, 2012 HMS Shannon, 2014 Wait For Me Daddy, 2015 Sir John A Macdonald, 2015 Flanders Field, 2016 Battle of Atlantic, 2017 150th Anniversary Canada (plain & colored), 2017 Vimy Ridge and 2018 Armistice (plain and coloured)

ANSWER:

Yes! Equity take outs can be obtained for a number of purposes, including financing home renovations or to consolidate credit card debt.

The Government has changed mortgage rules however regarding taking equity out of your home. When looking at a refinance or equity take out the total mortgage cannot exceed 80% of a property value. If you are looking for funds to fund a dream kitchen or get rid of some of that high interest credit card debt … give me a call!

The regular Toonies that are the hardest to get are 1999, 2000, 2012 without the security marks, and 2010 with 14 serrations on the edge instead of 16.

We have most of the Toonies in stock but not all. They start at $3.00 and for some scarce varieties up to $15.00.

Drain back-ups can be very costly, (especially flooding repair) and they are completely avoidable. Have all of your drain lines hydro-jetted annually.

You would be amazed by the amount of grease and debris that people put down the drain. Grease sticks like glue inside pipes and is back-up waiting to happen!

The best thing about Preventative Maintenance is that it can be planned and budgeted for. Ask your Plumbing Company to do a full Mechanical Audit of your building and give you a yearly maintenance quote.

address?” asked the clerk when we’d made our way to the till.

“Why do you want our email address?” I inquired.

“Oh,” said the clerk.

“That way, you’ll get 25 per cent off your next purchase.”

Puzzled, I glanced at my husband, then looked back at the clerk.

“We’ll take a pass on the email,” I told him.

That, I thought, didn’t sound like a deal — especially without any gifts.

At the Cannes Film Festival, the actress caused such a stir with her youthful appearance that her reference to Microneedling was covered

by Los Angeles Times.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive nonsurgical procedure for facial rejuvenation that involves the use of micro needles to create controlled skin injury. Theoretically, any injury to the skin should instigate a process of wound healing by stimulating the production of fibroblasts and collagen.

More collagen means smoother skin, as collagen is responsible for skin elasticity; any breakdown will lead to wrinkles and scarring.

Collagen is arguably the most vital way to improve the look of the skin, and this goes far beyond reducing wrinkles. By stimulating collagen growth with Microneedling, you can also reverse sun damage and has an

added bonus of tightening loose skin, which makes it great for older men and women.

Microneedling can address face wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, facial lines, stretch marks, pore size reduction and skin tightening. This procedure is well tolerated and it isn’t exclusive to the face area. The treatment can be done anywhere in the body.

Microneedling may sound intimidating because of the word “needle”, but the treatment is considered one of the safest skin treatments available. Unlike deep chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser treatments, Microneedling has very little to no downtime.

Mary Seitz, Beach Grove Laser’s Clinical Application Director, trained in Beverly Hills for this special procedure. Please call 604-943-9339 for your FREE consult and see if Dermapen is for you.

How Does CBD Work for Pain Management?

There have been thousands of articles written about what CBD can do for pain. But HOW does it work with the body First, you must understand that CBD does NOT get you high. THC, another compound in Cannabinoids does. The human body has an endocannabinoid system that receives transmissions signals from cannabinoids in the body. In fact, there are more than 65 molecular targets of CBD in the body. A CBD rich product with NO THC, like the products used by Spa Time, provide therapeutic benefits without getting a “high” out of it.

There are CBD receptors all over our body including our skin, organs, joints, and brain. CBD naturally calms these receptors, easing and relaxing the pain we are feeling. At least 30mg of CBD, per ounce, are suggested to relieve this pain. The products Spa Time uses have 50 mg of CBD per ounce, thereby assuring that pain will be relieved in a matter of minutes!

Some of the most common uses are soreness, muscle tension, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, joint pain, TMJ, and headaches.

Our CBD has ZERO THC, is derived from Industrial Hemp, produced in GMP compliant facilities, and are third party tested for efficacy and quality.

NEW! CBD Massage Treatment The hottest buzz in the spa world is the benefits of infused CBD products and massages. CBD is Non-Psychoactive and Anti-inflammatory. Massage oils infused with CBD, are inherently therapeutic for the mind and the body. 30 min/ $65-60 min/ $110

Microblading Create a new brow shape and/or fully restore a patchy brow with crisp, realistic, natural looking hair strokes. Microblading can help you achieve your brow goals! $300 (includes first touch-up)

Absorption After Topical Application When CBD oil is applied topically, or directly to the skin, it never reaches the bloodstream but can be absorbed through the skin’s surface to interact with nearby cannabinoid receptors. Human skin in general has low permeability, which means it blocks most substances from entering. Spa Time massage treatment application of CBD oil will be heavy enough to overcome this barrier. When applied liberally, CBD is permeable to the skin through its pores.

Book your CBD massage today at Spa Time Esthetics and Spa Services.

Microneedling Microneedling is quickly becoming one of the most popular anti aging modalities, as in many cases producing equal or better results than lasers.

An initial series of 6 spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended. www.spatime.ca 1232 56th street, 604-948-9801

She was born and raised in Powell River, graduating from the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria in

1957.

“Growing up in Powell River, I worked as an aid at the hospital during high school. I delivered the supper trays and was associated with the hospital

from the time I was 16, so I certainly had exposure to nursing,” she said.

“I would have loved to have gone to university, but that was out of the question because of

Sheila Rankin Zerr the financials and the distance, especially for a girl… It was tough, but the hospital training program offered me a chance at post-secondary education.

For many of us from my era that was the only thing open for us. I always wanted to teach, and I’m very glad that’s the way things turned out.”

Her career as a staff nurse took her to Vancouver, Fredericton and Ottawa.

After completing graduate studies at the University of Ottawa, she held teaching positions at Ottawa General Hospital, the University of Ottawa, the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia where she taught her last course in 1994.

Her teaching career covered numerous areas of nursing practice and theory.

At Ottawa General Hospital, she taught pediatric nursing based in the clinical ward. At the University of Ottawa, as a tenured member of the faculty, she taught classroom courses combined with three days a week in the clinical area.

After returning to B.C. in 1985, she accepted a position at the University of Victoria to teach distance education courses on the Knowledge Network.

In 1994 she joined the faculty at UBC to teach computer-based distance education courses. Her research projects and publications include writing and testing the child care program for St. John Ambulance, pharmacology and the nursing process, gathering and publishing stories of nursing in northern Canada, and numerous studies in nursing history.

“I was fortunate that circumstances presented opportunities for me that I could go to university and get my graduate degrees,” she said. “I also learned to love nursing itself and loved teaching. I still have many of my students who are good friends.”

Getting a complete lineup together and building continuity will be keys for success as South Delta Secondary begins its quest for an 18th straight trip to the high school girls’ provincial soccer championships.

The Sun Devils are 2-0 in regular season play thanks to an 8-0 win over Delta Secondary on April 8 and a 7-1 win over Seaquam on Monday.

“The games have been a little easier than I anticipated. We matched up well with both teams we’ve played so far,” said Stephen Burns, who is once again sharing the coaching reins with Brent Sweeney. “We played in a tournament last week against some of the stronger schools and we tied McMath.”

Burns said once again the Sun Devils feature a young group of players and getting everyone available will be key as they enter the hardest part of their regular season

The South Delta Sun Devils are off to a 2-0 start in league play thanks to an 8-0 win over Delta last week. schedule.

“Getting a full line-up is becoming more of an issue based on club coaches and different sports telling them that they can’t play this and can’t play that and to be honest we have had that happen to

us every game so far,” said Burns.

“So it’s been pretty hard because it’s hard to get a flow going. It’s been a challenge. Hopefully in the next few weeks it will be more consistent with all the girls out. We have a

really young team — one Grade 12 and two Grade 11s and the rest are all juniors — so it’s really important to have a full team.”

SDSS has games remaining against Elgin Park, LA Matheson,

Sullivan Heights and Panorama Ridge – all schools that are consistently among the top of the table in the Fraser Valley conference.

“Last year and in previous years we didn’t have as many issues with players being pulled all over the place, but so far this year we have and it’s going to show because the league schedule is getting tougher,” he said.

“All of these teams we play next all have a good shot at getting into the Valleys, so for us it’s building on consistent play, staying healthy and having everyone available. If we do that we will have a good shot at getting to provincials again. We have to continue to get better to see that success.”

Delta Secondary is off to a 0-3 start in league play as the Pacers followed up their season-opening defeat to SDSS with losses to LA Matheson (4-2) and Sullivan Heights (4-1).

The Ladner school heads to North Delta next Wednesday for a game against Seaquam.

The Delta men’s group features Russell Woodward, 12, who will be travelling to Westerns for his fourth time, and Lucas Liu, 13, on his third trip.

“Competing with my friends is great,” says Woodward. “It is always good to train with new people, to learn new skills and to push yourself harder.”

Both Woodward and Liu will be competing in the Elite 4 category.

It was another busy and highly productive week for Megan and Nicole McNamara.

The 21-year-old twins from Tsawwassen were in Toronto earlier this month where they locked up a berth into the 2019 FIBV Beach Volleyball World Championships in Hamburg, Germany this summer.

The McNamaras captured the trials event by defeating Taylor Pischke/ Sophie Bukovec (2119, 21-19) in the final.

They will join two other Canadian teams in Germany that already had spots locked up based on their world rankings.

Just two days earlier, the sisters were busy in Los Angeles leading the UCLA Bruins to a pair of impressive wins.

The nation’s No. 1 ranked team and defending national champion defeated No. 13 Loyola Marymount (4-1) and No.

DHA Female Prep players taking careers to UBC

The UBC Thunderbirds women’s hockey team has signed a pair of Delta Hockey Academy members as part of its 2019 recruiting class.

Goaltender Reese Hiddleston and forward Aimee Brucker were among five players to sign with the Thunderbirds earlier this month. Both played for the DHA’s Girls Prep Team this past season.

Hiddleston posted an 8-5-1 record in 14 Canadian School Sport Hockey League starts for the Wild. She had an impressive 1.84 goals against average and a .928 save percentage with three shutouts. The White Rock native joined the academy three years ago, playing a total of 42 games for the Prep and Varsity squads.

Brucker finished third in team scoring with 18 points in 27 games, including 15 goals. The Courtenay native came over from Vancouver Island to join the DHA program in Grade 10.

Reese Hiddleston Brucker will be enrolling in the UBC arts program while Hiddleston will be pursuing a degree in kinesiology. Joining the DHA players as freshman next season will be Lake Country’s Sydney Neustaeter and Chanreet Bassi, along with Edmonton’s Mackenzie Kordic.

The road to the Nanaimo Clippers’ future took them through Ladner earlier this month.

The B.C. Hockey League club ran a four-day prospects camp at Tilbury Arena to identify talent for next season and beyond.

The Clippers have close ties to the city with GM and head coach Darren Naylor having enjoyed plenty of success with the Pacific Junior Hockey League’s Delta Ice Hawks before heading to Nanaimo.

The club also hosted a prospects camp in Sicamous and the top players from both sessions have beenwere invited to another camp in Nanaimo.

“It’s funny what a difference a year makes. I had one returning player so I was looking hard. This year is more about identifying 2002 and 2003 kids and bringing them to the next camp,” said Naylor.

“There’s not going to be a

Jeanette was predeceased by her husband Melvin Cyra; father William Husband; mother Gerd Berg; sister Barbara Melynchuk and brother Richard Husband.

Jeanette was born in New Westminister and lived in Sudbury during her childhood. She moved to Ladner and attended Delta Secondary where she met Mel.

Jack was born in Vancouver, BC, on January 5, 1929 and passed away peacefully January 01, 2019, 4 days shy of his 90th birthday.

Jack’s parents (John & Molly) left their beloved Ireland, travelled from New York to San Francisco before settling in Vancouver where they started the family business Mills Paint in 1930. Jack grew up in Kitsilano area, where in high school he became a baseball sensation and earned the nickname, “The Whip.” Eventually Jack took over the family business and in 1959 began manufacturing paint and expanded the business across Western Canada. Jack was very proud of the family business of 75 years.

Jack met the love of his life, Doreen, and together they raised 5 sons. The family grew up in Richmond and were all very active in sports which Jack and Doreen loved to be a part of.

Over the years Jack kept in touch with all his baseball buddies and once Jack retired, he enjoyed getting the group together as often as they could, reliving their glory days. Jack was a dynamic character, who loved to talk about sports, history and music. We will miss Jack and his rendition of “Mississippi Mud” at our family gatherings. “Bonne Nuit!”

Jack was predeceased by his wife Doreen, survived by Grant and Carol, Greg, Dave, John and Bobby, Jim and Nancy, 15 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life, will be held April 20th, 2019 from 1:00 - 4:00pm at Coast Tsawwassen Inn 1665-56 Street, Delta.
