Bequest set to build bridges

City receives over $600,000 from Bolhuis estate to complete lagoon footpath 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

A project more than a decade in the making will finally be completed thanks to the generosity of a beloved Ladnerite.

More than $600,000 has been bequest to the City of Delta from the estate of Shirley Ann Bolhuis to complete the footpath around Ladner Harbour lagoon and a pair of pedestrian bridges.

The trail and metal bridges will be wheelchair accessible and a plaque will be erected to recognize her gift to the people of Ladner.

Bolhuis, formerly of Westminster Avenue, passed away in 2004.

In addition to the lagoon works, which are estimated to cost $400,000, there will also be a wheelchair accessible plaza created in Lions Park at the edge of Chilukthan Slough adjacent to the bridge on Westminster Avenue.

This is estimated to cost $80,000.

The Lions Park plaza will be dedicated to the

Decommissioned a decade ago, this bridge will finally be replaced thanks to the Bolhuis estate. memory of Shirley’s late brother “Big John” Bolhuis who passed away in 2017.

A plaque will also be erected to recognize “Big John.”

“Friends used to push Shirley in her wheelchair from her home over to the lagoon and around the lagoon, which was back in the day when both of the bridges existed,” said friend and executor of the estate Les Blaney.

“She absolutely loved that trip. Her will stipulated that her brother John would stay in the original family home, but there were no other assets besides the family home, so when John passed away, I worked with two of

the other trustees who live in Richmond and came up with the idea on how we wanted these funds to be utilized. I then approached the City of Delta.”

Blaney said the projects would have made Shirley proud.

“We wanted something in Ladner and I thought what better place than right on the corner of Westminster Avenue, a block from the family home, near Lions Park and the slough to have this plaza and for people to access views of the river,” Blaney said.

“The other two trustees absolutely agreed because the bequest is being kept in the community and

many people will now enjoy this area. This was very important to Shirley that a project would be completed to improve the life of others in wheelchairs.”

The project has been on the City of Delta’s books since 2009 when the province decommissioned the western pedestrian bridge due to its poor condition.

The bridge removal limited trail use and despite Delta’s requests, the province was not prepared to reinstate the western bridge, citing that funding was unavailable.

In 2014, Delta entered into a licence of occupation with the province for the lagoon for the purpose

of maintenance of the trail, including the remaining eastern pedestrian bridge.

Initial efforts for the replacement of the western bridge included work in association with the Kiwanis Club of Ladner/ Tsawwassen, but the club has since disbanded and other service clubs are pursuing other initiatives.

In 2017, Delta engaged a consultant to design and estimate costs to replace the western bridge.

With the bequest approved, parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz said the tender process will begin immediately in the hopes of starting construction as soon as possible.

Month-long hearing kicks off for Terminal 2 proposal

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 public hearing for the proposed Terminal 2 mega-project at Roberts Bank began Tuesday at Tsawwassen Springs.

The independent federal review panel that’s gathering input on the Port of Vancouver’s container terminal expansion plan started the proceedings by hearing various motions, including objections from several individuals, such as Against Port Expansion’s Roger Emsley, who said more time is needed to analyze information. Global Container Terminals, the operator

of Deltaport, asked for an adjournment in order for alternatives to be properly assessed, including GCT’s proposal to expand its facility.

A port official provided responses to the motions, saying “ample and sufficient” information and time have been provided and that the alternatives have already been examined in the project overview and rationale. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has indicated that further expansion into the intertidal zone won’t be considered due to habitat threat, which negates GCT’s proposal, according to the port.

Among the speakers that were scheduled to make a presentation yesterday was Delta Mayor George Harvie, who was to outline the city’s position that includes the environmental assessment review process not proceeding any further until there’s a greater certainty regarding the need and appropriateness of Terminal 2 to address Canada’s trading needs.

The city also wants to ensure that any approval of Terminal 2 is contingent upon the resolution of traffic congestion at the George Massey Tunnel.

Foot passenger wants ferry to wait for him South Delta Crime Beat

The purpose of the Crime Beat is to educate and inform the public about some of the property crime trends occurring in South Delta and other files of interest. If you see anything occurring that you believe to be suspicious, call 911 for inprogress crimes and emergencies or 604-946-4411 for other assistance.

The following are some of the calls the Delta police responded to in the previous week:

TSAWWASSEN

• May 5, 12:46 p.m., 100-block of Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway: Police were called to two people causing a disturbance outside of the foot passenger terminal. The two were attempting to purchase tickets to walk onto the ferry but narrowly missed the sailing. One man had argued the boat should be held, but was cooperative when police arrived on scene. Both parties were banned for the day from BC Ferries property.

• May 6, 12:48 p.m., 4900-block of Canoe Pass Way: Complainant reported she had observed a dog left in a vehicle in the Tsawwassen Commons parking lot for at least 10 minutes. It was a sunny day and 18 degrees. Police arrived and located the vehicle with all windows partially rolled down.

Police reached in the car and believed the internal temperature not to be critical and did not force entry. Police requested store staff page customers requesting the owner of a white SUV to step outside and speak with police about leaving their dog inside their vehicle.

Shortly after the owner emerged and disagreed that she had made an error in judgement. Police explained that while her dog was not in distress that her actions had caused police and bylaws to be dispatched to the scene as well as leaving a vehicle insecure, potentially also causing future calls in regards to theft from auto. The owner then conceded that she made an error in judgement and apologized.

• May 6, 11:38 p.m.,

5100-block of 11A Avenue: Police attended a residence following a noise complaint. Upon arrival, the property representative presented herself at the door and advised that her son was having a birthday party and that the party was now over.

Police stayed on scene and observed the guests leaving.

• May 9, 6:43 p.m., 700-block of 53 Street: Complainant called police to report that his son had his bicycle stolen from the rear of South Delta Secondary that day.

Complainant advised the bike had been locked up at the rear of the school to a chain link fence in the morning, and when his son came out at 2:51 p.m. the bike was gone.

The bike is described as a Norco Bigfoot mountain bike, black and orange in colour. Approximate value: $300.

• May 9, 10:28 a.m., 300block Centennial Parkway: Complainant called police reporting a theft from auto.

The complainant stated that the theft occurred overnight from May 7 to 8, and that the vehicle was parked in the rear of the

residence. The vehicle was left unlocked and a set of golf clubs was stolen. Approximate value of clubs: $3,500.

• May 10, 3:46 p.m., 5000-block of Canoe Pass Way: An unknown passerby called to report a dog left in a vehicle in the heat in the parking lot of Tsawwassen Mills shopping centre. Officers attended and located the vehicle with the dog inside. Police managed to unlock the vehicle through a cracked window and got the dog out. The dog was panting and appeared to be a bit distressed. The registered owner and pet owner returned to the vehicle shortly after and was warned about the dangers of leaving a pet in the vehicle in the heat.

• May 10, 7:23 p.m., 400-block of Milsom Wynd: Complainant called police to report that there were two young kids riding a mini motor bike in the park at Pebble Hill. Complainant was concerned the bike was damaging grass. Police attended the area and walked through the park, but the kids were gone upon arrival. No damage

observed in the park. No visible tire tracks observed anywhere.

LADNER

• May 5, 8:25 a.m., 4800-block of Delta Street: Complainant attended Delta Police Department headquarters to report that on the previous day an unknown person damaged the hood of his vehicle while it was parked in an open covered parking lot. Police spoke with the complainant who showed the officer the damage to the hood of his car consistent with somebody sitting or jumping on it. Approximate damage: $1,000.

• May 5, 8:55 p.m., 4400-block of 61st Street: Complainant reported a white pickup truck speeding down a service road behind her residence.

Police attended and identified a white Ford F350.

Police spoke with the driver who stated he was just collecting branches and debris. The driver advised to clear the area as it did not appear that he had credentials to be there.

The driver advised to contact Delta bylaws and obtain information about

using a personal vehicle down service road.

• May 8, 12:35 a.m., 4700-block of 57th Street: Complainant called police to report noisy youth at Delta Manor Elementary.

Police attended and located a group of six youth talking loudly. All parties were apologetic and left the area without incident.

• May 10, 3:04 p.m., 41B Street: Complainant reported an overturned semi-truck. Police attended and observed a truck flipped on its side, with rock and sand debris on the road. Fortunately the driver was not injured. The road was closed for several hours to remove the debris.

• May 11, 9:30 p.m., 5500-block of Admiral Way: Complainant called police reporting a large party in the townhouse complex. Police attended the area and determined there was a block party being thrown by a number of neighbours. All were respectful and agreed to wrap up the party. One of the residents advised he would ensure everything was cleaned up and everyone was home safely in a reasonable time.

NATIONAL POLICE WEEK Mayor George V. Harvie and Delta Council would like to recognize the dedication and efforts of all the members of the Delta Police Department.

We are fortunate to have such a committed group of police officers protecting and serving our community.

More than cheap gas to jerry cans Expert encourages drivers to be aware of the risks when transporting fuel 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

You might want to think twice, or at least gain a better understanding of the risks, of going across the line to fill up a bunch of jerry cans with cheap gas.

With prices in the Lower Mainland continuing to inch their way skyward, perhaps hitting $2 per litre by summer, it’s little wonder Delta residents might not only want to fill up their tanks in Point Roberts, but also take some extra gas back with them across the border According to Transport Canada, it is important that drivers are aware that gasoline is dangerous and needs to be transported safely, as per transportation of dangerous goods regulations.

The maximum people are allowed to transport is 150 kilograms in total, and each container cannot be more than 30 kilograms.

Noting containers must be approved for that use with all accessories intact, and secured properly for transport, Delta police

More drivers are taking jerry cans with them when they fill up in Point Roberts. spokesperson Cris Leykauf said, “When gasoline is being transported it should not be in the driver’s compartment or back seat due to the danger of fumes and combustion.

It’s also dangerous to place containers filled with gas in the trunk. But if people

are going to do this over a short distance, they should ensure each container is secured properly and is not loose.”

She said there have been no recent files of drivers ticketed for infractions, but the police department’s commer-

NewQUALITY and Exciting

YOU CAN TASTE THE DIFFERENCE

cial vehicle enforcement unit has issued tickets “many times in the past for vehicles with insecure cans of fuel, and taken the opportunity at that time to educate drivers.”

Ray Hollenberg, owner of Northwest Response Ltd. in Smithers, B.C.,

which specializes in fuel spill response preparedness, training, as well as fuel guidelines and audits, told the Optimist drivers wanting to fill up their jerry cans may not be aware of the high risk.

“I know for certain that any jerry can, anything you have that has a dangerous good in it, must be secure in such a way that it cannot sway, move or leave the vehicle. Of course, the only way to do that securely is to have a ratchet. You cannot use bungee cords. Of course, vehicles are not designed to be securing jerry cans, so you’re not going to find any proper securing lug bolts. Everything we have in vehicles is not designed for jerry cans,” said Hollenberg.

“Once you know the product, once you understand the risk, who would do that to themselves? The only reason I’d say they do it is that they do not understand the associated risk with that product. It would be like walking in the woods with a lot of grizzly bears carrying fish in your pocket.”

A grey whale and its calf got stuck in the shallow water of Boundary Bay last Friday afternoon.

Beached whales in ’Bay get help to reach deeper water SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It turned out to be a happy ending for a pair of grey whales beached in shallow water in Boundary Bay last Friday afternoon.

Residents reported the mother and its calf being stuck as the tide was on its way out, giving people near the U.S.-Canada border an opportunity to get in the water and close to

the mammals.

The mammal response team with Fisheries and Oceans Canada arrived with a vessel and special equipment to help the whales, which were 30 metres off shore, get unstuck, while the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre was also on hand to assist.

Onlookers, including the media, were urged to

keep their distance during the recovery effort as the tide moved back in, giving the whales a chance to move around and get unstuck.

The whales moved back into deeper water, but seemed disoriented at first.

DFO personnel remained to make sure the whales didn’t end up swimming back to shallow water.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

t’s a laudable goal but one that’s been difficult to reach.

Thirty-plus years ago when Delta adopted its Official Community Plan, the document contained a number of overarching objectives to guide development, foremost among them a desire to create a livable and complete community.

Under the “Complete” heading, the OCP states: “Delta will be a community in which people of all ages, family structures, backgrounds and interests can live, work and play.” It goes on to touch on the need to provide a diverse range of housing choices in order to create a complete community.

Fast-forward to today and despite those admirable intentions, it’s pretty clear Delta lacks that desired completeness that was envisioned back in 1986.

The idea of people of all ages and family structures living here has undoubtedly been compromised by the combination of a lack of housing choices and an out-of-this-world real estate market.

Twenty-five years after the OCP was adopted, single-family homes and duplexes still made up of 80 per cent of Delta’s housing stock. It’s likely a tiny bit better since those 2011 statistics, but when a community is single-family centric, and those homes typically go for $1 million or more, it’s not hard to see how certain segments of the population get excluded.

According to those 2011 figures, more than 50 per cent of Delta’s housing inventory was built in the 1960s and ’70s, a time when an average paycheque could carry the mortgage on an average Delta home.

That’s not even close to being the case anymore, yet the city’s housing stock hasn’t materially changed to reflect this new reality.

I realize that a shift toward more affordable multi-family units would mean a change in character of certain neighbourhoods, a move that’s definitely not taken lightly in these parts, but not to do so means turning your back on the goal of creating a complete community that welcomes people of all ages and income levels.

We have to decide, and let our political leaders know, whether the aims of the Official Community Plan should be upheld or whether we consider them more like New Year’s resolutions. You know, well-intentioned thoughts that end up just being too darn difficult to implement.

Expanding Roberts Bank port doesn’t fit with vision for Delta

W

e stand, as always, at a fork in the river. Not just because we call Delta home, but because this community, province and nation stand between two different and opposite visions for the future.

It is folly to call one progressive and another regressive, moral and immoral. When a problem gets big enough both sides will claim the high ground over the other.

Likewise, villainy does not lie in political camps or ideologies, but in the actions of individuals and in individual actions.

This week, we engage with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) about the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s (VFPA) proposal to expand Roberts Bank into a super port. This is not a debate about whether industry is needed (it most certainly is) or whether the environment is worth saving (nothing could be of greater importance to human continuation). It is about whether a manmade island the size of almost 350 football fields leads our community towards a future we desire.

I must restate that it is not industry that is on trial, but the intentions of the VFPA and the Terminal 2 proposal that must be scrutinized. Like the former

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

head of the BC Liberal Party, Rich Coleman, comparing a farm bill to the Holocaust, we can only judge each instance on its own merit.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but my vision for a desirable future does not include the mass industrialization of Delta and the Fraser River. For that reason, I am vehemently opposed to turning the shoreline of Tsawwassen into a super port; I am opposed to the VFPA cannibalizing 1,500 acres of Delta farmland to serve the industrial needs of that super port; and I am appalled yet woefully unsurprised that hundreds of acres of ALR have already been optioned by real estate speculators the additional 2,500 acres of industrial capacity that the port will need by 2035.

Needless to say, and I am sure

you’re getting tired of me saying it, the VFPA’s Terminal 2 expansion is a terrible idea for Delta.

The need for industrial viability is self-evident, as are the reasons not to move forward with the project. There were other, cheaper, better options (which were ignored). Also, the VFPA consistently exaggerates the dire need for expansion, saying we will lose U.S. business (this is refuted by VFPA’s own consultants who say that Canada would not lose business to the U.S. until 2040 and Deltaport’s president who states that B.C. has enough container capacity into the 2030s).

Judge the actions of individuals, not ideologies. Unfortunately, the actions of the VFPA appear to be the actions of a tyrannical organization that has the powers of government with none of its responsibilities. Its actions speak of a vision for an industrialized Delta that I do not agree with.

I see Delta becoming more of what it is — a safe, beautiful, family-focused community — and together we can make decisions made lead us towards that future.

What’s your vision?

‘Bay has lost places that fostered community

Editor: My wife and I built a house and moved to Boundary Bay just over 30 years ago. During that time we raised three children and have enjoyed the beauty and seclusion of the Bay. Now, as the Bay is expanding into the Southlands, I would like to reflect on what makes an area a community.

I submit that there were four buildings that contributed greatly to the sense of community in Boundary Bay. First, there was Boundary Beach Elementary, which was, for

many years, the focal point of activity in the Bay. We got to know all the kids and their parents through the many school activities like play day and barbecues where the kids would do the “chicken dance.” When that school was closed, and the kids were bused out of the Bay, a piece of community was lost.

Second, there was the corner store, just down from the school. You could walk over and have a coffee and pick up a few groceries while running into friends and neighbours.

Third, the Bayside Squash Club. People could hang out there and it would host an occasional dance night.

Finally, the beach stand.

Yes, it was an unattractive, rundown old building, but it would be open from spring to fall and during the winter on nice weekends. You would always run into neighbours and kids having something to eat there. The food was not very healthy, but no one died.

All four of these facilities are gone now, leaving only memories of the fun and spirit they unknow-

ingly inhabited. People don’t need state of the art community centres when all they want is some old places they can walk to and encounter friends and neighbours. People need a place to hang out together again in the Bay and, in the words of Joni Mitchell, “you don’t know what you’ve lost till it’s gone.”

As we look forward to the town centre in the Southlands, I hope that some of this great sense of community would be re-established for the next generation of Bay resi-

dences. Many of the kids who attended Boundary Beach Elementary are in their early 30s now and moving back to Tsawwassen to start families.

I think that the Mills’ Four Winds facility would be a heartbeat of community within the Bay. Across North America, there are over 7,000 artisan breweries, the majority of which are in residential areas where they greatly contribute to the social fabric of their communities.

Downtown Vancouver and Victoria have many

of these breweries adjacent to high density residential. These facilities are stainless steel clean, and the left over brewer’s mash is used for animal feed or compost. The idea of growing hops next door on the designated farmland is a great idea. Further, the Mills family is a Boundary Bay family.

So I would urge Delta council to stop playing petty politics and get on with doing its job, which is to help build community spirit in areas of new development.

Bill Friesen

Conditions in Tsawwassen don’t support walkable community Editor: The most recent redevelopment proposal for the Town Centre Mall is being sold as a “walkable community,” and as described by Mike Schneider, these communities have many benefits, including “prosperity,” “less emissions from vehicles” and more.

These are all laudable goals. In many cities these communities thrive.

However, the conditions that support these communities are sufficiently

different from Delta. The communities are integrated within urban centres. These urban centres supply these communities with an employment market supported by mass transit. People can go to work without a vehicle.

It is true that a viable commercial core could enhance local business.

Certainly, more customers would be a benefit.

Strangely the latest proposal cuts the commercial space by about 10 per cent. Is this indicative of a

lack of faith in that “green, thriving” downtown core or a lack of tenant interest?

What worries me is the planning department and Delta council are closing their eyes to three main detracting factors that make a lie of the positive aspects of the development proposal: - Tsawwassen lacks jobs that can support mortgage/rental costs of these units. At least one resident of each unit may need to travel beyond Tsawwassen for work daily.

- Our rural location will mean mass transit will continue to be a problem.

- 56th Street is the only effective means out of Tsawwassen for this and the Southlands developments. These add a possible 1,650 additional cars to traffic during rush hours: More than 800 per hour over each two-hour period.

This proposal only creates a bedroom community with serious traffic problems and more vehicle emissions. This is

growth at any cost, it is not progress and cannot be considered the greening of a community.

Ted Murphy’s column states that Sean Hodgins will “need to work with the public” to “satisfy the majority.” This paper suggested Century has been working with the planning department. If that is the case, how did the proposal go from 500 units to 700 and multiple high-rise towers? How does this reflect public input?

Mayor George Harvie

appears to be taking the pressure off this proposal in a Trump move to vote against the brewery.

People are upset enough that no one has noticed the mall proposal is now totally over the top. And he can easily change his mind and let his council re-consider the brewery.

Talk to your council and planning department. Tell them to stop this proposal until traffic infrastructure needed by this proposal has been dealt with.

Peter van der Velden

Southlands development doesn’t Additional community meal would require an anchor tenant help Ladner residents in need Editor: For those who think the Southlands is a shopping development that requires an anchor, think again.

It is a housing development approved by former Mayor Lois Jackson and her DIVA party even though many in South Delta were against the

destruction of the farmland.

Next, Mayor George Harvie is not against development as long as it is in the approved industrial or commercial areas.

As someone suggested, put the Four Winds brewery and 200-seat restaurant next to the casino or

#200 - 1179 56th Street, Tsawwassen (next to CIBC) 604.948.7697 Sunday-Thursday: Noon -9:00pm Friday & Saturday: Noon - 10:00pm

even in the Tsawwassen Town Centre, but not the Southlands.

The Southlands is not a place for a tavern serving alcohol and adding fear to Boundary Bay residents of meeting an impaired driver on these dark and narrow roads.

Victor Souliere

Editor: I’m writing this hoping that others in our Ladner community would like to see a community meal be given more than once a month.

Right now it’s at All Saints Anglican Church and is once a month. It

serves sometimes up to 80 people. It is a homecooked meal with dessert.

People from all walks of life come. There are homeless ones, those on low-income struggling to make ends meet and friends coming together

to socialize.

With the amount of churches and volunteer organizations in our area, surely it could be done. It truly would be a way to help out those who are in need in our community.

Food on the Corner celebrates 36 years of continuous service Editor: Food on the Corner just finished 36 years of continuous service, feeding and caring for the needy and homeless folks in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. We are a 100 per cent volunteer organization. For this reason, I would like to express a big thank you to all our faithful helpers.

Our soup makers have provided a lot of soup again in the past year. On a regular Saturday we serve between 15 and 20 gallons of soup which adds up to a lot of soup in one year. We are very grateful for each soup maker.

And our sandwich makers create between 200 and 400 sandwiches each and every week.

What is amazing is that some of the sandwiches are made by youth groups, students, seniors at our local seniors’ homes, and by friends getting together on a Friday evening.

INTERNET IMAGE

Food on the Corner is a 100 per cent volunteer organization with over three decades of service.

Instead of playing games, they create some of the tastiest sandwiches.

Then on Saturday morning, a team is busy loading all the necessary items making sure all that is needed to serve lunch is on board. On Saturday morning our truck is located at the parking lot behind Joe’s Market near Thrifty Foods awaiting the volunteers, sandwiches, bananas, soup and coffee.

By the way, I also would like to say a big thank

you to the folks at Thrifty Foods and Save-On-Foods as well as Safeway in Ladner for their big contribution of bread and sweets each week.

When all this is loaded on our truck, we form a circle to say a word of blessing and, by 10 a.m., the team heads for Vancouver. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in front of the provincial courthouse, which gets a good cleaning up afterwards, so that on

Monday regular business can carry on.

After the clean up our truck still has goodies which we then deliver to some homeless shelters on the Downtown Eastside to people who really appreciate whatever we give them.

To the folks downtown, we are a vital ministry and it’s all done by volunteers. It takes a lot of hands doing all this.

So is it worth it? Talk to the many folks that come and see their happy faces.

We’re looking forward to another year, our 37th it will be, and we’ll again require a lot of help, a lot of soup and many hours of helping the needy, helping them live towards a better lifestyle. Here is an opportunity for young or old to help those folks out of their predicament. We are a non-profit organization, so please visit www. foodonthecorner.ca.

52nd Street stop sign has done its job for half a century

Editor: Re: 52nd Street stop sign creates major bottleneck, letter to the editor, May 2 Living near the Imperial Hill (52nd Street) since 1963, a little history is needed regarding the stop sign.

The stop sign was placed at the crest of the

hill to protect the crosswalk installed in 1965 after a near fatal accident involving a child.

The stop sign has done its work for decades, slowing and stopping drivers at the crest of Imperial Hill.

A decade or so ago, the municipal engineering department removed both

the crosswalk and stop sign, but after several close calls of speeding drivers nearly causing accidents, the stop sign was reinstalled, but not the crosswalk.

Today, after the great waterworks build, there is a new crosswalk at Saratoga Drive and the

stop sign is once again doing its job, protecting the crosswalk from speeding drivers.

As there has not been a fatality at this location in my 50-year memory, I would say the detested stop sign has done its job, very well.

Delta police deploying foam impact weapons 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

Delta police officers are being trained and equipped with a new intermediate use-of-force option, a 40 mm foam projectile launcher.

The launcher is considered a less-lethal intermediate weapon, replacing what are commonly known as bean bag guns.

According to DPD, the 40 mm launcher offers

many advantages over bean bag guns. It has advanced optics and the foam projectile is spin stabilized in mid-air for higher accuracy. The projectile has a plastic body with a foam or sponge nose and delivers impact by way of kinetic energy.

According to DPD, the most common injury a person would receive from such a weapon is bruising or swelling.

“The key thing about

The DPD is moving to equip and train all frontline officers. Roll-out started in January and since then it has been used once, but not on a person.

“The trend in law enforcement across North

America is to move to progressive weapon options such as this,” Lipinski said. “In a high risk situation officers may be able to keep an appropriate distance from a person, which should give more opportunity to safely talk and de-escalate the situation if possible.”

Delta police are cautioning the public about the dangers of brandishing replica guns after an incident in South Delta last week.

Officers were called to a bus stop in Tsawwassen after reports from the public of seeing two men with what appeared to be a gun.

Police determined which bus the men boarded and then intercepted the men leaving that bus in Ladner.

“One of the men informed police he had

just purchased a BB gun prior to getting on the bus, and had been inspecting it at the bus stop. He also showed police the receipt for the pistol,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf.

“Unfortunately this pistol is nearly identical to a police service weapon.

It’s not surprising that inspecting it or displaying the gun in public would be quite alarming.

“We want to take this opportunity to remind the public, and youths or others who might be drawn to these replica guns, not to display or brandish them in public. Reports of a person with a gun are taken very seriously by police,

A cyclist collision in Tsawwassen Friday night has renewed a safety message from Delta police.

At around 9:30 p.m. on May 10, police were called to an incident where a cyclist was struck at Highway 17 and 52nd Street.

DPD say the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision was stopped at a red light. When the light turned green the driver proceeded westbound on Highway 17, striking

the cyclist. The cyclist was attempting to cross the highway while heading north on 52nd Street, although the Highway 17 traffic had the green light.

The cyclist was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver and others who witnessed the incident remained at the scene.

The DPD traffic unit attended to conduct the investigation. DPD have not said whether any charges will be laid.

“Fortunately this incident occurred at a low

speed,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “As the weather heats up and more cyclists are out on the streets, we’d like to take this opportunity to remind both cyclists and drivers to be aware and be mindful of each other. At an intersection cyclists can either ride with traffic, obeying lights and stop signs, or they may choose to dismount and act as a pedestrian, walking their bicycle across the intersection when safe to do so, according to lights and applicable signage.”

McHappy Day in South Delta benefits Reach

PHOTOS BY JIM KINNEAR

The sunshine and strong community spirit were very much in evidence at McHappy Day in South Delta last Wednesday benefiting Reach Child and Youth Development Society. Delta police officers and firefighters were out in force manning McDonald’s restaurant drive thrus in Ladner and Tsawwassen as well as helping out behind the counter inside. Holly Elementary and Southpointe Academy choirs, Southpointe jazz band, Deas Island Dance, O’Brien School of Irish Dance, Mike & Em Greene’s band, including daughter Lucy, came out and performed at the high energy day. Reach volunteers and staff were on site helping with sock and giant TV raffle ticket sales and crafting and face painting with children throughout the day. McDonald’s staff good-naturedly managed all the additional McHappy Day traffic and one TV was awarded at both Ladner and Tsawwassen McDonald’s locations in the evening. Reach was grateful to all volunteers, performers, McDonald’s staff and South Delta residents who came out to support the cause. See more photos at www.delta-optimist.com.

At this stage of my career, I’m slowing down, and the parish really needs more than I can offer. I’ve served many congregations, and love working with people and sharing with them the journey of life and faith — however it is each of us experiences this.

God’s heart is infinite compassion.

We, the earth and all living things, and all that is, are blessed to have a place therein. So that we may show compassion to one another.

Thank you, St. David’s, the Delta Optimist, and town of Tsawwassen!

Art helping to teach inclusion Blind artist is a ‘superstar’ in the eyes of students at Ladner Elementary 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

Art is the catalyst for a unique school-based project teaching the importance of inclusion in the classroom.

For the past month, schools in Delta and Vancouver have partnered in a pilot project with the Wingspan UBC program.

During this eight-week residency, artists have been co-teaching in host classrooms and participating widely across the schools.

“Our attitudes towards people with disabilities needs a major overhaul and the place to start is in our public schools,” said Dr. Leslie Roman, a professor of educational studies at UBC and visionary for the Wingspan UBC program.

“Wingspan has a national goal of impacting the ways inclusion and accessibility are taught by learning from actual artists with disabilities in classrooms across the country. Today’s students participating in Wingspan UBC are tomorrow’s citizens, voters, leaders and policy-makers bringing with them the knowledge and experience of a more accessible and inclusive society.”

At Ladner Elementary, 94 students in grades 3 to

Artist Richard Harlow discusses drawing with students at Ladner Elementary.

Harlow is one of several artists working in schools in Delta and Vancouver in the Wingspan UBC pilot program.

7 have been working with Richard Harlow, a visually impaired painter, artist, comedian and disability rights’ advocate with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, who lives and works in Nanaimo.

“In 2010, I was working as an apprentice under professional local painter Richard Hoadel and attending Emily Carr University when I began having issues with my vision,”

Harlow recalled. “First diagnosed as stress, then MS, I underwent unnecessary chemotherapy treatments and became legally blind within six months.”

In May of 2010, he was diagnosed with Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy, an extremely rare condition that affects one in 250,000 people and has no cure.

“I did not pick up a paint brush for seven years. In the meantime, I was made aware of how

people with disabilities are treated, including the isolation, poverty, discrimination and ableism,” he said. “From that point forward, I dedicated my life to helping others through activism, politics, volunteering and advocacy.”

Harlow has been teaching students to draw, paint and sculpt during his sessions at the 44th Avenue school, all with a focus on how to make their art inclusive.

“Art is the easiest thing

to make fully inclusive to everyone,” he said. “Here we have someone who is blind who is going into classrooms teaching them about art. These students are incredible. This is by far the most powerful thing I have ever been a part of.”

Grade 3 teacher Helen Dockerill said it’s been an amazing opportunity for the children to work with Harlow.

“Heavier topics such as accessibility, discrimination and inclusion are not easy for younger students, but the kids are totally at ease with Richard,” she said. “I’m not an artist, so I’m learning too. It’s neat to see. Richard is somewhat of a superstar in our school now. I feel grateful that we can all be a part of this.”

Delta’s assistant superintendent Nancy Gordon said the school district is honoured to have been chosen to help pilot the Wingspan program.

“We are excited to have artists like Richard Harlow working with our students, and giving them opportunities to learn about people with disabilities, while also exploring creative arts,” said Gordon. “These immersive encounters with our students are a powerful experience for everyone involved.”

Retirees Among Those To Benefit From New Hearing Aid Try newly released hearing aids ideal for the modern lifestyle: full surround sound, plenty of power, & no more feedback! ‡ Just weeks ago, a brand new hearing aid line was released to the public and it’s transforming the hearing experience for its wearers.

Most hearing aids deal with background noise using directional microphones that focus only right in front of you--like blinders for your ears.

No more! These new hearing aids process signals so exceptionally fast, they handle sound from all directions—greatly improving your ability to hear and comprehend speech, even in noisy environments.

Most hearing aids have to reduce gain (amplification strength) to avoid causing feedback. Not these! These

new hearing aids eliminate obnoxious screeching and whistling before it even starts—while maintaining necessary gain.

Connecting to your modern lifestyle is easy! Make hands-free calls from your smartphone, or stream audio from your phone, stereo, TV, or other Bluetooth® enabled devices.

These can even be purchased with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery option.

Yes, the future of hearing is here and it sounds better than ever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Unprecedented success for Studio West dancers 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 been a season of success for Studio West Dance in Ladner — and the best may be yet to come.

More than 150 competitive dancers, ranging in age from six to 18, have been a part of numerous competitions in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley since October, bringing home individual and group accolades the likes of which have never been seen before at the dance studio located in Ladner Village.

Director Jyla Davis along with instructors Tanner Plecas and Melissa Pribula say they are inspired by the dedication and hard work that all of the students have put in to achieve this unprecedented level of success.

“We are definitely putting South Delta on the map in terms of strong, technical training,” said Plecas. “We are so lucky that within the community there are so many great theatre clubs and other

Competitive dancers from Studio West Dance in Ladner have come home with a slew of awards from five competitions in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. programs that our kids are also taking advantage of and that is certainly helping them succeed.”

Pribula said for a lot of studios when they have success it might be in one genre or they might have one group that has done

well, but for Studio West this year, the widespread success across all genres is unheard of.

“For us, we literally have representation in every single category of dance that you can imagine and our kids are not only doing

well, but they are excelling and winning overalls in all of those genres,” she said.

Davis said the staff at Studio West has played a big role in creating a winning environment.

“Our staff is one of a kind,” said Davis. “Each of

our teachers have a very strong, technical foundation and background in ballet and contemporary and then we all have our own avenues, so I’d say one of our strengths is that everyone has a hand in our dancers’ training. All

of us have been champions ourselves growing up and have experienced that life. When you have experienced being a champion your whole life and then you transition into teaching kids you have lived it, you know what it is like and you know how to train them.”

Pribula said even though the studio has experienced success, Davis is constantly pushing everyone to be better.

“That’s a big key for sure. It’s always what can we do better. We continue to offer growth outside what the Lower Mainland offers. When you travel and are exposed to other master classes and teachers it really helps everyone to push themselves to be better,” said Pribula.

Up next is a trip in late June with 25 dancers to Las Vegas for nationals, another prestigious competition for a solo dancer in Los Angeles and two dancers will be representing Team Canada in November at an international competition in Germany.

Award-winning thespians from Ladner are at the forefront of the latest production for Vancouver’s Metro Theatre.

Winner of best director for the Community Theatre Coalition in 2018, Ladner’s Catherine Morrison is the director and sound designer for Alan Ayckbourn’s comedy thriller Communicating Doors running until May 25.

Morrison is working alongside her partner Les Eskrine who is the set and lighting designer and long-serving general manager for the theatre, while Tracy-Lynn Chernaske is the scenic painter, set decorator and photographer.

“It’s an amazing and talented team both behind the scenes and on stage,” Morrison said. “I’m blessed to have so many

wonderful people working alongside me.”

Morrison describes the production as Back to the Future with sex and violence.

“If you could go back in time, what in your past would you like to change?

How would you re-write your personal history? The women of Communicating Doors get that chance,” she said.

“This is such an interesting script. It has time travel, women’s empowerment, two men who are money launderers and illegal arms dealers – it is incredibly topical and how Alan Ayckbourn wrote it in 1995 and could predict in some ways with unerring accuracy is quite remarkable.”

She said this is the ninth or tenth production that she and Eskrine have worked together on.

“A lot of our production meetings happen at the

kitchen counter,” she said with a laugh. “It has been a tricky show to do because there are a lot of cues that sometimes fall on top of each other. It’s quite a complicated show. I have an excellent cast and I feel really great about how it’s all come together.

“But I must say that it is also very thought provoking and also quite funny.

I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say that the audience will be in for a fair share of surprises.”

Tickets for the show are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors/students with a special two for $37 special on Thursdays.

Tickets can be reserved by calling the box office at 604-266-7191 or online through Metro’s website: https://metrotheatre.com/ currentshow/.

QUESTION How do hearing aids work? Are there operations or medications I can take to treat my hearing loss rather than get hearing aids?

ANSWER At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver (speaker) converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable amplification.

3. Mixed: A combination of sensorineural and conductive.

How do I select the right “coating” for my outdoor summer projects?

QUESTION:

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

ANSWER:

Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268

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

Ask us for details.

1. Sensorineural: The most common type, it occurs when the inner ear nerves (and hair cells) are damaged and do not properly transmit auditory signals to the brain. Can be treated with hearing aids.

2. Conductive: Is typically the result of obstructions in the ear. Can usually be treated medically or surgically.

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

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

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

There are alterative forms of treatment for hearing loss (instead of hearing aids), although only 5% of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically.

It all depends on the type of hearing loss you have experienced. There are three types:

QUESTION:

I had bought a few $20 for $20 from the Royal Canadian Mint and decided I did not want them anymore.When I took them to the bank they would not take them and they sent me to your store, However you would not take them either.What is going on with these coins?

WHAT ARE CLOSING COSTS?

ANSWER:

ANSWER: This is a complex situation with these coins. Let me first tell you what happened in Great Britain. Mark Carney, who was Governor of the Bank of Canada became the Governor of the Bank of England. England issued coins just like Canada: a 20 for 20, 50 for 50 and 100 for 100. They were immensely popular and sold out immediately.

Then the banks were flooded with these coins being returned to the banks. All the coins had been removed from their packaging and were now loose coins. It turns out that all of these coins were bought by people using credit cards. They received Aero plan miles or 2% cash back from their cards.

There will be fees associated in buying a home other than just your down payment.

These fees include the cost of your home inspector, the lawyer or notary who will act for you in the transaction and an appraisal if required by the bank.

Additionally, there could be provincial taxes charged a closing these taxes are determined by the purchase price, amount of down payment and if you have owned a home previously.

Your Mortgage professional can provide you with the costs you can expect when it comes time to buy your home.

Preparation and planning are key when it comes time to make the biggest investment of your life so make sure you have a professional in your corner!

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

The Royal Mint and the Bank of England immediately changed the policy and made these “coins” only souvenirs with no cash value or in other words they were now demonitized. The same thing is happening here in Canada with clients that I know of buying thousands of dollars of these coins on their credit cards and receiving bonuses that their cards give. I know a person who racked up so many Aeroplan miles that he took 4 trips for free.

I tell people that if they phoned up their local bank and asked for a special $20 bill in a special package and wanted it mailed to them for free but also to be able to charge it to their credit card to receive that 2% cash back, the bank would hang up while laughing at them. This is why the banks do not want them. The Royal Canadian mint store here in Vancouver and the actual Mint in Ottawa will not take them.

The Royal Canadian Mint has now stopped producing these type of coins as they were being flooded with complaints from people trying to get their money back from the government. Therefore, this is why I will not take them. I feel sorry for people but if I cannot even break even on a deal then I cannot do the deal.

Don’t let that perfect lawn go to the dogs

Dogs love spending time outdoors. Owners with yards know that dogs benefit greatly from some exercise in the backyard, and while that time might be great for dogs, it can take its toll on lawns.

Dog urine and feces can adversely affect the look and health of a lush green lawn. Nitrogen is essential to healthy soil, but only at certain levels. When those levels are exceeded, the result can be lawn damage.

According to The Spruce Pets, an advisory site that offers practical tips and training advices to pet owners, this is what happens when pets frequently urinate on grass. Urine is naturally high in nitrogen, so when pets urinate on lawns, the grass might turn yellow or brown due to the excess nitrogen content.

Nitrogen also is present in lawn fertilizers, further exacerbating the problem for pet owners who fertilize their lawns.

In addition to urine damage, dogs can trample frosted grass, contributing to problems that may not become evident until

Homeowners can take various steps to protect their lawns from dog-related damage. spring, and get into areas like gardens where they wreak additional havoc.

Pet owners who want to let their dogs run free in the yard but don’t want damaged grass may

be tempted to put their pooches in diapers or confine them to crates when letting them outside. But such an approach isn’t necessary. In fact, some simple strategies can be

highly effective at preventing dog-related lawn damage.

• Speak with a landscaper about planting new grass. Certain types of grass, such as Bermuda

grass, can withstand dog damage better than others.

Local climate will dictate which types of grass are likely to thrive in a given area, so speak with a professional landscaper about

the viability of planting new grass.

• Install fencing. Pet owners with expansive yards can install fencing that allows dogs to spend time exercising outdoors without granting them access to the entire property. Large dogs will need more room than small ones, but try to build fenced-in areas that allow dogs to run freely and get the exercise they need to stay healthy.

• Work with a dog trainer. Dog trainers might be able to work with dogs so they only urinate in certain areas of the yard, greatly reducing the damage they can cause to a lawn. Trainers also might help curb digging and clawing behaviours that can damage lawns as well as gardens.

• Consider hardscaping. Hardscaping might be most effective for pet owners with small properties. Hardscaping does not include grass and can add visual appeal to a property while saving pet owners the headaches of dealing with dog-related lawn damage.

A home is a safe haven for its residents. No matter what’s going on at school or the office, many people know they can relax in comfort and safety when they arrive home at the end of the day.

Safety at home is something that can be taken for granted until it’s too late. Overloaded electrical circuits are a frequent culprit in residential fires.

Fortunately, overloaded circuits are preventable.

According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International, the following are some potential indicators that circuits are overloaded: • Flickering, blinking or dimming lights.

• Frequently tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.

• Warm or discoloured wall plates.

• Cracking, sizzling or buzzing from receptacles.

• Burning odour coming from receptacles or wall switches.

• Mild shock or tingle from appliances, recep-

Learning to recognize the signs of overloaded circuits is an important step in making homes safe and prevent fires.

Prevention is another key component when safeguarding a home and its residents from fires sparked by electrical failures of malfunctions. The Electrical Safety Foundation International offers the following tips to prevent electrical overloads: • Never use extension cords or multi-outlet converters for appliances.

• All major appliances

should be plugged directly into a wall receptacle outlet. Only one heat-producing appliance should be plugged into a receptacle outlet at any given time.

• Consider adding new outlets to your home.

Heavy reliance on extension cords indicates your home does not have enough outlets. Bring in a qualified electrician to inspect your home to determine if more outlets are necessary.

• Recognize that power strips only add additional outlets; they do not change the amount of power.

Transform your back yard into stunning waterfront property.

Making your home smart can save time and money

Devices are everywhere.

According to a recent visual networking index forecast from Cisco, by 2021, there will be four networked devices and connections per person across the globe.

Those figures are even greater in North America where Cisco estimates each person will have 13 networked devices and connections by 2021.

With all those devices, it’s no surprise that a greater number of people are embracing the smart home movement. Those who have yet to jump on the bandwagon can benefit from learning more about smart homes and why it’s intelligent to have a smart home.

What is a smart home?

The term “smart home” is commonly used to define residences in which appliances, lighting, heating and cooling units, TVs, computers, entertainment systems and security systems are capable of communicating with one another. Each of these components can be controlled remotely, typically via a smartphone.

Why is it smart to have a smart home?

The benefits of a smart home are numerous, and will likely only multiply as people utilize more devices.

• Time: A recent joint

Controlling your thermostat remotely can keep energy costs down. survey from CNET and Coldwell Banker found that 57 per cent of people say that smart home technology saves them an average of 30 minutes per day. That’s an especially beneficial advantage for busy parents and/or professionals who find it difficult to juggle all of their daily responsibilities.

• Money: Another benefit to smart homes is their cost savings. Because devices can be controlled remotely, smart home owners can adjust the temperatures on their heating and cooling units while away from home.

That means they can arrive home each night to a comfortable home without having to run their HVAC systems all day while no one was home. In fact, the CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found 45 per cent of people say that

smart home products save them an average of $98.30 each month.

• Investment: Whether you’re a developer or a single-family homeowner, real estate is an investment. Making a home as appealing to prospective buyers as possible is a great way to get a better return on your real estate investment.

Weeding is a chore few gardeners relish.

Weeds can seemingly pop up overnight. And when left to their own devices, weeds can quickly grow out of control.

There are a few key tips to weeding that can make the process easier. First off, start with wet soil.

Choose to weed after it rains as wet soil makes it easier to pull the full weed, including the root, out of

the ground. Removing the weed all the way down to its root prevents it from growing back.

If there’s no rain in the forecast, water the garden before attempting to remove weeds.

If the ground is compacted and you’re weeding in a pinch, at least remove the head of the weed to prevent seeds from spreading and starting new weed growth.

Everyone can appreciate the opportunity to sit back and relax. Hammocks and swinging chairs can help a person feel lighter than air and recharge in the warm summer air.

Setting up hammock in back yard takes relaxation to new heights Sunny days and warm weather beckon us to the great outdoors. A day spent in the pool or lounging around the patio is a great way to embrace the relaxing spirit of summer.

But those who want to go the extra relaxing miles should consider adding a hammock or swinging chair to their backyard oasis.

Hammocks and swinging chairs make great investments. Outdoor enthusiasts can take them on camping trips, and they’re equally at home

right in the backyard.

People on the fence about these symbols of relaxation can consider these benefits of hammocks or swinging chairs: Nap comfortably outdoors Who needs an excuse to catch up on missing sleep?

If the time presents itself, the sun and the fresh air can induce a deep sense of relaxation. Lying on a hammock or floating in a hanging chair provides that additional soothing rocking motion that can make a cat nap even more

enticing.

Use it indoors or outdoors Create a retreat in any corner of your yard or home. A hanging chair can be hung in the corner of a bedroom to provide a spot to curl up with a good book or rock a baby to sleep. The same chair can be brought to a covered deck or patio so people can swing with the breeze when the weather allows.

Super stargazing retreat Hammocks and swinging chairs can make it

easier and more comfortable to stargaze at night.

With a double hammock or chair, bring a romantic partner along to snuggle and watch the cosmos. Or teach children about the constellations in the night sky.

Be inconspicuous among nature Lying on the ground disturbs the lawn and other outdoor components.

Being suspended several inches above the ground can help a person blend into the natural environment.

Compost is a key element

You can create your own compost with kitchen scraps and garden clippings.

to creating nutritious soil

The season for fresh produce grown right in the backyard is upon us.

Warm weather breathes life into fresh berries, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers and many other delectable fruit and vegetables.

Home gardens can be supplemented with delicious finds from the supermarket or farmer’s market, including melons, corn and more.

The bounty of the garden can be made more abundant and fruitful with the addition of the right soil amendments.

Compost is a key element of rich, nutritious soil.

Scraps from items that have been grown in the garden can then be reused in the production of the compost that feeds that same garden. It’s a continuous circle of garden life.

Getting started with compost is relatively easy.

Homeowners should choose an outdoor space near the garden but far

away from the home so it won’t be disturbed by kids or animals. Some people opt for an open compost pile, while others choose closed bins to contain the possible smell and to camouflage the compost.

A sunny spot will help the compost to develop faster, according to Good Housekeeping.

The next step is to start gathering the scraps and materials that will go into the compost. Better Homes and Gardens suggests keeping a bucket or bin in the kitchen to accumulate kitchen scraps. Kitchenrelated items that can go into the compost material include: eggshells, fruit peels, vegetable peels and scraps, coffee grounds and shredded newspaper.

In addition to these materials, grass and plant clippings, dry leaves, bark chips, straw and sawdust from untreated wood can go into the pile. Avoid diseased plants, anything with animal fats, dairy

products and pet feces.

A low-maintenance pile has an equal amount of brown and green plant matter in the compost plus moisture to keep the bacteria growing and eating at the right rate. Aerating the compost occasionally, or turning the bin when possible, will allow the compost to blend and work together.

Compost will take a few months to form completely, according to the Planet Natural Research Center.

The finished product will resemble a dark, crumbly soil that smells like fresh earth.

Compost will not only add nutrients to garden soil, but also it can help insulate plants and may prevent some weed growth.

It is a good idea to start a compost pile as a free source of nutrition for plants and a method to reduce food waste in an environmentally sound way.

Trainer’s experience and Knowledge When deciding on a group class, you should request a trainer that is experienced and knowledgeable. This means they are able to adapt and modify the workout to your specific needs and abilities, and be able to offer you options and advice to help prevent or aggravate an injury. Trainers should also offer a variety of exercises to help keep the workouts interesting.

Class Format and Size I have always stuck to the opinion that class sizes should not exceed 6-8

participants per trainer. This ensures not only value for you money, but gives you the specific attention and feedback you deserve.

Class formats should include a full body, push/pull program. For example, a chest exercise should be accompanied by a back exercise to keep your body in balance.

Facility and Equipment The facility and equipment can be just as important as the trainer. Running isn’t for everyone. Likewise, jumping straight into an advanced exercise like push-ups

or pull-ups without any prior fitness experience may cause an injury. Make sure there are various pieces of cardio equipment, as well as functional training machines and free weights.

The facility should have the right equipment to help you build your cardio and strength, and work towards your fitness goals your way.

If you have had an injury or a bad experience in the past, I encourage you to not let that prevent you from giving group training another try. Do your homework and communicate your needs and expectations before committing.

This coming June 15th will be the 38th running of the Jog for a Jug Fun run in Pt. Roberts.

For the past 12 years this local fun run has been organized by the RunInn Delta with all proceeds from the race going to several local charities.

“When we took over the race 12 years ago it was a great chance for us to help give back to the community” says Kevin Ridley owner of the Runinn Delta.

“We are a big believer in supporting local community and when we first got involved with the Race we donated all proceeds to The Hannah’s Heroes foundation which was a local charity helping kids with Brain Stem cancer.” Since then

we have helped out Kidsport Delta and this year we are proud to have Deltassist as our local charity of choice.”

“We have also been lucky enough to bring Mark Schoeffel of Hollis Wealth on board as a presenting sponsor. Mark’s company will be donating $2000.00 towards the race so we are off to a great start”.

The Jog for a Jug is an 11.2 km Fun Run or Walk through Pt. Roberts with the start and finish at the Reef Tavern. The race is followed by a BBQ provided by the Reef with music and prizes for everyone involved in the event.

Beat the big crowds by making your own long weekend ing!

My mind has been wildly spinning trying to figure out what to do with three completely open days!

But... what to do with this sweet, precious time?

I decided a meeting was in order.

“Sit down!” I said to the husband. “We don’t want to fritter away the weekend! We have to make a plan!”

The husband nodded.

“What are you think-

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN A long weekend is com-

ing?” he wondered.

“I have no idea,” I said.

“A little road trip?”

“Gas prices are insane,” the husband observed.

I nodded.

“We could go camping!”

I suggested.

“We don’t camp,” he said.

“You’re such a downer,” I said. “But you’re right.

We don’t camp.”

I suggested we play tourists at home. We could head into the big city and

wander the seawall. We could head to the valley and seek out antique shops and outdoor cafes.

We could head to a nearby beach town and have a picnic on the sand.

“The crowds will be crazy wherever we go,” the downer observed.

I told him the last thing I wanted to do was spend the long weekend doing the run-of-the-mill. I did not want the highlights of the weekend to include

three loads of laundry, two trips to the grocery store, a run to the dry cleaner and a drive to the mall to buy those new king-sized sheets we’ve been meaning to get.

“Sheets are so boring,” I said.

“What did you say?” asked the husband. He looked at me, confused.

“Tell you what,” I said after a minute. “Let’s get those sheets. And let’s pick up the dry cleaning.”

“That doesn’t sound like fun,” the husband said.

“It won’t be,” I said. “But we’ll take the following Monday off, and push our long weekend ahead a week when hardly anyone will be at the beach, the shops or the seawall.”

He nodded, beginning to get my logic. And so, we decided, that’s just what we’ll do. A long weekend is coming, I silently cheered.

It just doesn’t start tomorrow.

Whether it be South Delta Secondary or UCLA, Megan and Nicole McNamara sure know how to make a lasting impression.

The 21-year-old twins from Tsawwassen won four provincial championships — one junior and three senior — during their high school careers as Sun Devils. Keep in mind, SDSS had not won any B.C. volleyball banners until their arrivals.

Now, the McNamaras are set to walk away from UCLA making a significant impact on the Pac-12 school’s beach volleyball program.

The Bruins won their second straight NCAA National Championship two weekends ago at Gulf Shores, Alabama.

The Bruins defeated rival USC 3-0 in the final to finish the 2019 campaign with a 35-3 record.

When the McNamaras arrived at the renowned Los Angeles campus back in September 2015, beach volleyball was still in its infancy at the NCAA level.

The first Pac-12 Championship and national tournament was played in the spring of 2016.

The twins proved to be the centre piece of head coach Stein Metzger’s rising program as the team’s number one pairing.

The Bruins finished third at the inaugural NCAA Championships and two years later earned their first title. That was followed by another impressive run at Gulf Shores that saw the Bruins produce four straight victories to repeat.

Megan and Nicole McNamara cut down the net after the UCLA Bruins repeated as NCAA beach volleyball champions earlier this month in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The Bruins program took flight after the Tsawwassen twins arrived four years ago.

The McNamara twins were First Team AllAmericans in each of their four years at UCLA.

“It’s been awesome to watch the sport grow, the talent sky rocket and number of schools that now have beach volleyball. It’s been incredible being part of it,” said Megan.

“Of course I just want thank my parents.

Definitely wouldn’t have been possible without them supporting us. In high school, our mom drove us hours upon hours to different practices all over the Lower Mainland. We wouldn’t be here without their support and love.”

USC entered the eight-team tournament as the No. 1 seed after defeating UCLA three times this season, including twice by 3-2 margins at the Pac-12 Championship. However, the Trojans were upset 3-1 by No. 8 Stetson and would have to climb back into contention in the loser’s bracket.

The No. 2 Bruins avoided the same fate by digging deep to defeat No. 7 Hawaii 3-2 on Friday. The McNamaras delivered the decisive win by rallying to defeat Emily Maglio and Amy Ozee in three sets — 20-22, 21-15, 20-18.

The twins staved off match point then finally secured the victory. Megan recorded 18 kills and seven digs and four aces while Nicole was credited with 15 kills, four digs and three aces.

The Bruins rolled from there — defeating No. 3 Florida State and No. 5 Louisiana State in straight sets to advance to the final.

The McNamaras again rallied to win their match (19-21, 21-19, 15-7) over Florida State’s Alaina Chacon and Madison Fitzpatrick.

Meanwhile, the Trojans battled their way back to the final with wins over Pepperdine, Florida State, Hawaii and LSU. It set the stage for one last court #1 battle between the McNamaras and the Trojans top pair of Tina Graudina/Abril Bustamante.

The twins were leading the match 21-18, 19-19 when a court #3 win by Zana Muno and Abby Van Winkle secured the championship.

The McNamaras also became the first team in the history of the UCLA program to earn First Team All-American recognition for all four years.

They will now turn their full attention to the world pro beach volleyball circuit. It starts this week at the $300,000 Itapema Open, taking place in Santa Catarina state in southern Brazil.

They will also be representing Canada at the World Championships set for June 28-July 7 in Hamburg, Germany.

18 straight BC berths & counting for Sun Devils

Stephen Burns & Brent Sweeney need to be creative with their roster to keep streak going MARK BOOTH

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

Eighteen consecutive provincial appearances would suggest South Delta Secondary is a hotbed for girls soccer.

In actuality, it has a lot to do with the creativity and dedication of a couple of longtime volunteer teacher coaches that makes the program thrive.

The Sun Devils will continue their record run at the showcase event later this month after producing two straight wins to open up the Fraser Valley Championships. A 3-1 semi-final loss on Monday afternoon to defending B.C. champion Centennial sends South Delta to Thursday’s third place game against Fleetwood Park.

Sure there is been some outstanding talent come through Stephen Burns and Brent Sweeney’s program through the years including Olivia Sheppard (Princeton University) and current four-year forward Breanne Gallagher who will be continuing her career at the University of Calgary next fall. Yet it has more to do with the coaches identifying talent and athleticism that can thrive in various situations, regardless of age and the level they happened to play at in club soccer.

Last season it was Grade 8 twins Kate and Jane McDonald eating up huge minutes in midfield en route to a third place finish at provincials.

“You look at the end of our game today and we had three Grade 8s on the field. We had a Grade 9 silver player matched up against their stud midfielder and really she didn’t get anything today,” said Sweeney. In ways, it’s tricking the girls into believing they can compete at this level.”

The program’s rich tradition doesn’t hurt either.

Prior to last Wednesday’s 1-0 quarter-final win over Riverside that secured a B.C. berth, a lunch hour team meeting was held.

“We brought all our (provincial tournament) plaques into my classroom. The girls walked in and saw them and knew this was the game they had to win to get another one,” continued Sweeney. “It’s really been a lot of fun.”

South Delta Sun Devils Breanne Gallagher celebrates her goal in the early minutes of Monday’s Fraser Valley semi-final playoff game against Centenntial at Winskill Park. The Coquitlam school responded with three unanswered goals for a 3-1 victory. The Sun Devils play for third place on today with a B.C berth locked up.

The Sun Devils actually enjoyed an early lead on the talented Centaurs when Gallagher headed home a corner kick. However, the Coquitlam school answered moments later on a penalty after a hand ball.

The game remained tied at 1-1until another hand ball on the edge of the penalty area resulted in the game winner. Centennial then added a late insurance goal for a well-deserved victory.

PioneerscloseouthomestandagainstWCSLAchamps MARK BOOTH

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

The Ladner Pioneers are making the most of their four-game homestand with a familiar nemesis in town on Thursday night to close it out.

The Pioneers will welcome the Nanaimo Timbermen to the Ladner Leisure Centre at 7:30 p.m.

It will be the first meeting since the President’s

Cup national championships last August when pivotal round-robin game win sent the Timbermen on their way to the gold medal game while Ladner bowed out of contention.

The teams also squared off in a highly-entertaining West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association champion series that saw Nanaimo rally on their home floor to prevail.

The Timbermen have

taken a step back this season and no longer feature National Lacrosse League/ Senior “A” standouts Jeff Shattler, Cory Conway or Cayle Ratcliff. However, the Pioneers won’t need any motivation as they look to improve to 4-0-0 on the season.

“Given what happened the last time we saw them, I’m sure will be fired up,” said Pioneers head coach Ross Frehlick. “We just want to keep winning at home and if they even come over here missing a few players, so be it.”

Ladner made it two home floor victories over the Victoria Wolves in eight days with an 11-4 triumph on Sunday.

Mike Berekoff led the way with seven points, including a hat trick.

Spencer Bromley added a goal and four assists as the hosts took control with five unanswered goals in the second period. Zack Wickett made 16 saves for the win with Ladner enjoying a 56-20 advantage in the shot department.

Three nights earlier, the Pioneers held off the Royal

City Capitals 10-8.

Ladner opened up a 5-0 lead in the opening period but needed third period goals from Drew Miles and Berekoff for much-

needed breathing room after the Capitals twice pulled within a goal.

After hosting Nanaimo, the Pioneers will enjoy a

week’s rest before playing three road games in five days, including a visit to Coquitlam May 26 to face the unbeaten (4-0) Adanacs.

MARLAND, Samuel August 13, 1926 - April 19, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sam Marland. Sam leaves behind his beloved wife of 70 years, Phyllis; his son Mike (Gill) and his sister Joan in the U.K. He is predeceased by his nine siblings.

Sam immigrated to Canada from the U.K. in 1958 and settled in Ladner where he resided until his death. He worked for the Delta School Board as a maintenance supervisor for nearly 30 years until his retirement. He also volunteered at the Delta Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store for over 25 years and he was very proud of having his photograph on the wall in Delta Hospital as a long-serving member.

At his request, there will be no funeral. Cremation arrangements by Delta Funeral Home.

Condolences may be offered at www.deltafuneral.ca Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040

SENIBULI, Solomone 1946 - 2019 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Solo SeniBuli announce the passing of a father and grandfather.

He was predeceased by his parents Asena Ranadi and Akariva Kau. Survived by his daughters Margaret; (George) Asena, (Jason) Juli (Rodney); and his beloved grandsons Wyatt, Cody, Lucus, and Tahano.

Solo was an avid fan of boxing, football and rugby and spent some time swiping grog with his Kava boys.

The family would like to thank the staff at Morgan Place for the care they provided during the time he was there.

A Celebration of his Life will be Saturday, May 18, upstairs at the Ladner Legion 1pm-4pm.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line Obituary at: www.myalternatives.ca
