Church’s pride flag vandalized

Community rises up to let vandal and others know hate not tolerated in Delta 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’s an act of hate the community won’t tolerate.

That’s what a volunteer with Ladner United Church told the Optimist after someone vandalized a pride flag sometime Sunday night or very early Monday morning.

The flag, which was hung at the 48th Avenue church last Thursday, was splattered with black paint.

The church posted on its Facebook account: “We are disappointed and frustrated to share that our #pride flag at Ladner United Church was intentionally vandalized last night. As a faith community which is committed to living out the love of Christ in real and practical ways in our community, we will not be discouraged or distracted from the message of inclusion, acceptance and affirmation we make through flying this flag in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ church members, friends, family, and larger community of South Delta.”

The incident, which was reported to Delta police,

A pride flag hung last Thursday at Ladner United Church was vandalized over the weekend. drew an immediate reaction from many on social media that such hate is not tolerated in Delta.

“The vandalism at the church is disgusting, not representative, in my opinion, of our community’s values whatsoever,” said Coun. Dylan Kruger.

“There’s no place for that kind of hatred or discrimination. One of the things that makes Delta such

an amazing community to live in is our sense of neighbourliness, our community spirit and the fact we love and respect one another.”

The first-term city councillor chairs the new community livability advisory committee that will discuss ideas put forward

by Sher Vancouver on how the city can more proactively support diversity

and inclusion for those who are LGBTQ. “We want to make sure we take the time to put together solid recommendations for council on ways to do that. Certainly a crosswalk is one way, but we want to make sure our recommendations are not purely symbolic, that Delta takes concrete measure to ensure that we are an inclusive community,” he

said.

Yesterday morning the City of Delta was joined by members of the police and fire departments in raising a pride flag to show support for Ladner United Church. The Delta School District also raised a flag during a brief ceremony just after noon yesterday.

Mayor says risks too great to move forward with T2 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

If the risks are that obvious and great, why not avoid it altogether?

Delta Mayor George Harvie had that to say about the Port of Vancouver’s proposed Terminal 2 expansion for Roberts Bank, which is the topic of a month-long public hearing.

Harvie explained his recent presentation to the independent review panel in Delta, saying a consensus was needed among the scientists, including

Call today to book your FREE In-Home Consultation

federal scientists who warned about the impact on shorebirds, before the mega project is allowed to proceed.

“They need to take a pause and listen to the Environment Canada scientists because they are in the negative compared to the scientists the port has hired. Until there’s a consensus between those two groups, we should not be proceeding on this project at all,” Harvie told the Optimist.

“I will always side with the independent government scientists,” he said.

604-948-3088

Environment and Climate Change Canada this year made headlines when the agency outlined a number of serious concerns regarding the potential impact of T2 on bird populations, disagreeing with the port’s conclusion the project, with proposed mitigation measures, would result in no residual effects to coastal birds other than for diving birds.

The agency also outlined concerns with the proposed offset plan to mitigate the direct loss of wetlands, including mudflats, noting most of

www.budgetblinds.com

the reliable evidence in the port’s environmental impact statement indicated the potential for large declines in food availability for shorebirds.

“ECCC maintains that there is insufficient, science-based information to support the proponent’s finding that the project would not adversely impact intertidal biofilm and consequently, migratory shorebirds in general, and the western sandpiper species in particular,” the agency’s submission states.

Meanwhile, Harvie also

reiterated Delta’s concerns about the future of prime farmland to serve port expansion.

“They say to the best of their ability they will not use agricultural land, and they need about 1,100 acres. I’m chair of Metro Vancouver’s Industrial Land Strategy Task Force and I said to the panel, I can’t find 1,100 acres.

We’re out of industrial land in 2020. I said to the panel I’d like know where they can find this 1,100 acres because I still believe they are targeting our agricultural land.”

Federal funding announced last month will help the City of Delta establish “a living dike” for flood protection.

The federal government has pledged more than $76 million to help mitigate coastal flooding in Delta, Surrey and the Semiahmoo First Nation.

Delta MP Carla Qualtrough made the announcement in Surrey.

As far as what will take place in Delta, civic engineering director Steven Lan explained the purpose of the application was to undertake flood mitigation measures in Boundary Bay using a living dike concept.

“The works will involve the establishment of a gentle vegetated slope to mimic natural marsh formation, including marsh islands and tidal channels.

These measures would serve to reduce wave action and improve overall flood protection.”

On hand for the announcement were (from left) Delta Coun. Dan Copeland, Delta MP Carla Qualtrough, Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum, South Surrey-White Rock MP Gordie Hogg and Semiahmoo First Nation Chief Harley Chappell.

The pilot program will see several short sections installed along the foreshore area between 96th and 112th streets in East Delta, Lan explained.

Qualtrough said investing today will reduce

future recovery costs and prevent critical infrastructure failures.

She said the measures will also provide Canadians peace of mind knowing their communities are better protected.

The City of Delta is working on a new a new master plan for its parks and recreation facilities.

Saying it’s a first for the city, Mayor George Harvie has established a task force that will look at outdoor field needs as well an indoor facility demands, working in consultation with user groups.

Late last month, outdoor user groups gathered with civic staff at Harris Barn in Ladner for a summit to discuss the various field demands in all three communities, while a similar meeting for indoor sport users was held earlier this week.

“We had a very good turnout and had two representatives from each of the associations for the field users. We then all broke into groups and talked about what we need insofar as improvements and what our goals are.

What I want to do is when we meet with them again, we’ll have staff put together, working with the (parks and recreation) commis-

I want a four-year capital program to bring back our fields to a more playable status,” explained Harvie.

“This will be the major task of the commission,” he added.

Parks, recreation and culture director Ken Kuntz said the first summit included all outdoor field users, from softball to field hockey, to discuss what they saw as priorities.

“We had them all mixed into groups and we posed some questions to them

s % 25 FFagnoest1ic5 Ore Di - Jun

to prompt that discussion and then we had each table report out, as well an open mic session, so that anyone who didn’t get their points covered could do so. We’ve taken fulsome notes and we’re amalgamating that into some themes,” he explained.

“Those themes will go to the parks and rec commission and ultimately (Delta) council. When we talk about themes, we talk about streams of activities and the whole goal is to come out the other side with some specific initiatives that are very measurable, very real and very tangible.”

Paton’s bill calls for farmers to get long-term leases

MLA says Brunswick Point has painful history 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

OWNERS OF

Len & Kathy Van Vliet CELEBRATE THEIR

35th Wedding Anniversary!

Delta South MLA Ian Paton introduced a private member’s bill last week aimed at protecting Brunswick Point farmland and bird habitat from development.

“Brunswick Point is an incredibly special piece of land that borders the ocean and the Fraser River, with beautiful walking trails,” Paton stated in a news release.

“This farmland also boasts exceptional Class 1 soil that grows B.C.’s very best potatoes— but most importantly, this area is world-renowned as a resting stop for migrating birds,” the Liberal co-critic for agriculture said.

Paton noted the history of Brunswick Point has been a long and painful one for several Delta farm families. In 1968, 4,000 acres of prime farmland was expropriated to support the port being built at Roberts Bank.

Many years later, after realizing the expropri-

Ian Paton ated land was not needed for port purposes, the province offered to sell most of the farms back to their original owners.

However, just over 600 acres of Brunswick Point farmland was held back by the Crown, only offered to the farm families through short-term leases.

“It is vitally important that these precious 600 acres of farmland continue to be held by the Crown be kept for agriculture and wildlife habitat in perpetuity, and be offered back to local farmers with longterm leases,” added Paton.

“It’s my hope the NDP will call this bill for debate so we can resolve this painful history and protect this

unique place for generations to come.”

The future of Brunswick Point, which is in proximity to the port, remains as murky as it did when the province expropriated large swaths of the area five decades ago.

The province’s expropriation in the late 1960s was described as “a land grab” by many.

At the time, W.C. Mearns, B.C. Harbours Board chairman, said a deep sea port would likely require another 20,000 acres to meet future requirements. That industrial development never occurred and, by the late 1990s, many of the farmers that had lost their lands, but were allowed to remain and lease them from the province, were given an opportunity to buy them back.

However, the Tsawwassen First Nation in its treaty settlement a decade ago was granted the right of first refusal to purchase the Brunswick Point lands if they were to go on the market.

GFL/Enviro-Smart claims the air quality permit issued by Metro Vancouver is too strict while East Ladner residents say it doesn’t go far enough.

Those opposing viewpoints will be debated in the days and weeks to come at an Environmental Appeal Board hearing in South Delta for the permit issued to the contentious composting facility.

The hearing began Monday morning at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn with GFL/Enviro-Smart, the resident appellants, City of Delta and Metro Vancouver presenting opening statements to a three-member panel.

GFL lawyer Gary Letcher asked the board to consider two complex issues — the first relating to conduct of effective composting and the second regarding efficient odour management.

“Flexibility is essential to effective composting.

Composting is not a factory stamping out a widget, it is as much an art as it is a science,” said Letcher.

Letcher took issue with how the permit was designed by regional district director Ray Robb, stating Robb is not in the business of determining how composting should be undertaken or how a composting facility should be designed.

“He is in the business of regulating air emissions,” said Letcher, who also took issue with the various testing and reporting requirements in the permit, which he said are costly and time consuming.

“At the end of the day GFL will be submitting to

An Environmental Appeal Board hearing into an air quality permit issued to GFL/ Enviro-Smart started Monday morning at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. this board that this permit needs to be streamlined to promote efficiency while promoting effective odour management,” said Letcher. “A permit must express itself with clarity and be founded on good science.”

He said GFL has committed to spending $37 million to construct an enclosed facility, which would be the first one in B.C. that is not publicly funded.

“This type of commitment by GFL should and must be encouraged,” he said.

Letcher said also said the current term of the permit should be 10 years, not five.

“A short-term permit does not provide an operator with an adequate or reasonable time to amortize that significant investment,” he said.

Joss Rowlands presented the opening statement for the residents.

Rowlands said the permit has failed to be effective in alleviating the smell and that GFL has no interest in being good neighbours to the community.

“Essentially for 15 years

our resident group has been subjected to a reduction in air quality caused by the previous owners to the GFL site and ongoing over the last few years,” she said. “While we were grateful to get an air quality permit from Metro Vancouver, we do not believe that the permit has in any way alleviated the grievance that has been caused to the community by the operations on the GFL property.

“We are here because we care about our environment, about sustainability and transparency. Our concerns are both emotional and with the details of the permit. You will hear from lots of experts.

We are not experts, except in the impacts of this smell and the ongoing issue that it is having on our lives.”

City of Delta lawyer Alyssa Bradley said the city generally supports Metro’s position with respect to the permit requirements.

“With respect to the residents’ concerns, the city will be supporting their concerns ensuring there are restrictive requirements in the permit,” she said. “The city fully sup-

ports an enclosed building. Hopefully that does address the odour issues, but there must be other requirements in addition to that.”

Representing Metro Vancouver, lawyer Greg Nash said the terms and conditions of the permit reflect Robb’s fair and impartial review, including a lengthy review and consultation with the city, Fraser Health, his experience and skillful staff.

“The requirements are clear and well defined.

They are not unduly onerous on GFL. They are appropriate in the circumstances of this facility,” said Nash.

“They are clearly within the district director’s jurisdiction. They do strike an appropriate balance between the potential risk of harm and health and the environment. The district director asks that the appeals be dismissed and that the terms of the permit be confirmed.”

The hearing is scheduled for June 3 to 18 and June 26 to 28. All sessions are slated to run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are open to the public.

Murphy’s Law

T

TED MURPHY

here were concerns raised at a public hearing last week that townhouses being proposed across the street from South Delta Secondary, expected to be listed somewhere in the vicinity of $800,000, would be out of reach for many first-time buyers.

While it’s hard to argue with that sentiment, it speaks to how absurd things have become with our real estate market and how challenging it will be to create that “complete” city Delta’s Official Community Plan envisions.

Owning a single-family home in South Delta can only be considered a pipe dream for a considerable number of people, including many younger ones, who simply can’t afford to buy a home like their parents did a generation ago.

One of the responses to this dilemma is to knock down aging single-family homes and replace them with townhouses, which doesn’t necessarily sit well with those folks who see that as an intrusion in their neighbourhood, but puts more units on a piece of property, thus lowering the price of those units.

Opponents decry this practice, calling such projects too dense, but the trouble, at least if the proposal at the corner of Tsawwassen’s 8A Avenue and 53rd Street has taught us anything, is that sometimes these kinds of developments aren’t dense enough.

I’m not suggesting putting more than the 37 townhouses Delta council approved for the site, but when stepping down from single-family homes to townhouses still can’t put home ownership in the grasp of many young families, it underscores how out of whack things have become. I presume if the townhouses being proposed were smaller in size, the price would come down, but that means more of them on the property, which only exacerbates neighbourhood concerns over density.

How we deal with this conundrum will go a long way to determining what our community looks like and who gets to live here. While most people agree that a greater variety of housing is needed in order to provide more affordable options, most would also rather see such stock built in someone else’s neighbourhood.

We’re faced with a choice of redeveloping certain areas or maintaining the status quo and putting out a “No Vacancy” sign. The younger generation is waiting for our answer.

Experiences produce alternate reality that’s not so appealing

I

’d like to share two transformative experiences with you.

The first was when I re-lived an event from my teens only to discover it was not in the least as I remembered. I’m referring to the thrill of riding the old wooden roller coaster at the PNE. The rush of adrenaline with its gravity defying drops and turns was permanently etched in my young mind as the best ride ever.

When my eight-year-old grandson was finally tall enough to ride this iconic coaster I happily offered to take him.

The little guy and not-so-little me were locked by a bar into our seat which had space for at least one more adult. With great anticipation, our string of cars noisily climbed the first and tallest hill. From there all I can say is the event was like a series of car crashes, lurching, up, down, sideways again and again.

There were no seat belts so we kept sliding side to side with me crushing the poor boy on every turn. People were screaming but our open-mouthed voices were locked in silent terror. Afterwards my grandson was very stoic, but strangely quiet. We were bruised and battered and just relieved to be alive.

My second transformative event occurred recently when I signed up to do a virtual dementia tour at The Wexford. The

Community Comment ML BURKE

Waterford and The Wexford are two popular, privatelyowned retirement communities in Tsawwassen run by Bria Communities. I congratulate Bria on conducting a series of experiential dementia tours for health professionals and caregivers to better understand what it’s like to have dementia.

Both my father and aunt had Alzheimer’s, so I thought I knew more than many. I also imagined this tour would involve a VR or virtual reality mask which sounded like fun. I was so wrong on both counts. Wearing a VR mask would have been easier than actually experiencing what someone with mild to severe dementia feels.

Without giving away too many specifics, I can tell you this: I was told to allow 30 minutes and arrive 15 minutes early. A paramedic also did the tour. We

signed waivers and answered a few simple questions about our frame-of-mind. After getting prepped we entered the tour area.

Throughout the tour I was physically uncomfortable, often distracted, frustrated, very confused and fearful.

When it ended I was quite emotional. It was so realistic that a huge sadness enveloped me from knowing my father and aunt had suffered so. But it also gave me deeper understanding of how we need to care for people with dementias.

Here are a few practices I knew, but now understand why: Slow everything down, give time to complete tasks, reduce noise and bright lights. Allow them to do repetitive jobs and to socialize with others. Learn to decipher what they want/need. Stay positive, reinforce, encourage and come to their rescue. Like a parent caring for a child, take care of yourself so you are able to take care of them.

I recommend this experience for caregivers working with dementias. Unlike my ill-advised roller coaster ride, this tour could change how you go forward with your life and theirs.

Letters

Be careful what you wish for in next provincial election

Editor: Re: NDP playing shell game when it comes to new river crossing, letter to the editor, May 30 I read with interest John Godfreyson’s letter about the shell game he purports the NDP government is playing in regards to the new river crossing and his final conclusion that residents of South Delta remember this fiasco at election time.

He must not have lived in this riding very long, because with this view of tossing out the party in power if it does not “do well” by the residents of South Delta, he has not heard of the Liberal attempts to close the

emergency department overnight and reduce the status of Delta Hospital.

He must not have heard about the fiasco of the high voltage power lines in Tsawwassen or 16 years of the Liberals telling us a crossing was coming -“Look, we’re pre-loading the freeways” -- just so we’d re-elect them again.

There was also a housing crisis which the Liberals reveled in, due to huge amounts of dirty money, but they raised huge taxes and didn’t know why they were getting so much money?

South Delta elected an independent (Vicki Huntington) after voters were fed up with the way

the Liberals treated them.

They even returned her for a second term.

The NDP has governed, with Green Party help, for almost two years, quietly going about the province’s business and has finally got a consensus on what the jurisdictions want in the form of a crossing. I also hope that we see a commencement on construction very soon. I do believe a tunnel is the best option and the cheapest.

As for the 10-lane bridge that creates a parking lot at the south end of the Oak Street Bridge, anyone knows that it was never a starter, especially with no train commuter service.

Four Winds welcome if it heeds bylaw

Editor: Re: Craft brewery brings a community together, letter to the editor, May 30 Kevin Klassen’s minithesis on both the viability and desirability of having Four Winds drop its oversized structure onto the Southlands is, as Mayor George Harvie noted during the Delta council vote on the proposal, “...in conflict with the commitment council made to the community on the approval of the Southlands in 2016.”

Council’s commitment to the community was for village-commercial. I cannot find anywhere in the current lawful bylaw that

would support consideration of an amendment of the intended change in size and use.

While I am all in favour of having such an enterprise at the Southlands, let’s not overstate the case and attempt to elicit emotion to evade the bylaws which everyone else is subject to and which everyone else has to abide by.

Klassen’s epistle was long on belief, overly long on hyperbole and eventually wandered off into that last bastion of the lost cause — sentimentality.

Had there been sugary music to accompany his paean it would have been

worthy of a well-crafted commercial for Four Winds, such was the obvious partiality in his piece.

When a Four Winds or similar does appear at the Southlands — and it will happen; we, whether in favour or against, all know this — I will be happy to see it and will take the time to wander from my home in Boundary Bay to enjoy the “best beer in the world” (according to Klassen) but I hope this will only happen if Four Winds, or its competition, ends up in that space and abides by the laws and bylaws that all others have to comply with.

Honking driver needs traffic signal refresher

Editor: This letter is intended for the driver who leaned on his horn while I was crossing 56th Street just after 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 28.

I am in my 70s so your horn did indeed startle me, which I am sure was your intention.

Congratulations!

FYI: I entered the

crosswalk only after the walk signal appeared and was half way through when you leaned on the horn. Another, much younger pedestrian (wearing ear phones so missed loud horn) had also entered on the walk signal.

At that corner, the left turn signal comes on before the walk signal. In case you are unaware,

red seconds on the signal at any intersection are intended to let the pedestrian know how long they have to complete crossing the street safely. I still had seconds left to complete the cross.

You need to refresh your knowledge of traffic signals or quit driving before you injure someone.

DSS grads on their best behaviour at golf course

Editor: Last Friday morning at 8 a.m. I was working at The Links at Hampton Cove and we had approximately 30 young men from the 2019 Delta Secondary grad class show up at the golf course in their very tacky Hawaiian shirts to play a quick nine holes of golf before the long day ahead.

I was expecting the nor-

mal lack of organization and some questionable behaviour happenings but what took place was an organized, polite and wellmannered group of young men playing with good friends and having a great time.

I would like to congratulate the grads, their parents and all the teachers at Delta Secondary for a job

well done.

To see such positive behaviour from a young group as this certainly gives me an extremely positive outlook for the future of this generation, our community and our country.

Opinion

Incremental options to T2 offer no risk to taxpayers STEVE SIMPSON

Optimist contributor

So the public process train on community consultation for proposed development of a new container terminal at Roberts Bank has rolled into town. The independent federal review panel is here to listen to all sides of the arguments that building a new island next to the existing Deltaport facility called Terminal 2 is needed.

I must admit I have a unique interest that goes beyond being a Tsawwassen resident.

In past I was intimately involved as a consultant in the development of Deltaport and a decade later served on the board of what was then the Vancouver Port Corporation.

Building a major container facility is not

for the faint of heart. It is fraught with significant environmental and economic challenges.

In 1997, Deltaport was opened in response to an overwhelming tide of globalism, a trade tsunami about to hit the shores of North America that would require a substantial bulking up of container handling terminals in order to handle the volumes to come.

The ports of Seattle, Portland and San Francisco were ill-prepared and the largest competitor, Long Beach, was already at crush point capacity with no land to spare.

Building Deltaport was an ideal opportunity to put our port in the driver’s seat for this new business. As has been said, we built it and they came. So much so, additional infrastructure was added to the

FILE IMAGE

Terminal 2 is a proposed three-berth container facility adjacent to the three-berth Deltaport container terminal at Roberts Bank. existing Lower Mainland terminals and eventually a container terminal was built in Prince Rupert.

So, in looking at the Terminal 2 proposal, my concerns lie squarely on the business case. We are witnessing an unprecedented worldwide change in political and economic relations between United States, China and Canada.

Tariffs, embargoes and outright abandonment of previous trade agreements prevail that all contribute to trade uncertainty.

Add to this the tepid growth projections of the port’s own analysis that seem to indicate this terminal would operate in the red for several years before hitting break-even.

The port currently has

four container terminals that collectively move 3.3 million containers a year. T2 would increase that capacity to 5.7 million containers but would require an additional $3+ billion in borrowing authority from the port and backed by the Canadian taxpayer who will also assume all the risk.

Further, T2 would be operated by a contracted terminal operator who would be nothing more than that, a tenant that leaves the landlord, the Canadian taxpayer, with all the downstream risk.

Furthermore, I would like to understand why the present operator of Deltaport, a Canadian company, is being frozen out by the port authority from the option of participation in the development of their own proposed Deltaport Berth 4.

Not only is building Berth 4 at Deltaport a better, incremental option that would handle new volumes for the foreseeable future, it does so without risk to the taxpayer because the present operator of Deltaport is willing to build it entirely at their cost yet the port says no.

Building Berth 4 is a more sensible, incremental approach to building capacity particularly when the bill is footed by an experienced Canadian company rather than the roll the dice on a grander and more tenuous plan that comes entirely at risk to the pockets of the Canadian taxpayer.

Steve Simpson is a resident of Tsawwassen, a former consultant on the Deltaport container terminal and former director of the Vancouver Port Corporation.

T2 at Roberts Bank is critical to Canada’s economic growth ANITA HUBERMAN

Optimist contributor

The City of Delta is a prime example of how port operations can drive the economy and bolster communities.

Roberts Bank hosts the largest container terminal in Canada, generating over $1 billion in economic activity every year. Port operations not only fuel Delta’s local economy, they power the country’s, too. By facilitating trade with over 170 markets across the world, port terminals across the Lower Mainland generate nearly $12 billion in national GDP every year — and that figure is only project-

ed to grow.

But with growth comes challenges. Independent forecasts show the volume of container cargo is set to outstrip local capacity by the early to mid- 2020s.

These constraints will have a deep impact on our local, provincial and national economy.

Shippers would be forced to slow and divert cargo to other ports along the U.S. coast, driving up costs for importers, exporters and, ultimately, Canadian consumers.

More broadly, limited container capacity will stifle overall economic competitiveness and undermine our ability to participate effectively and efficiently

in the global economy. If Canada does not improve its port infrastructure, we will be left behind.

In response, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has spent nearly a decade planning the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project, which is designed to meet projected demand while protecting the environment and considering local communities.

In terms of location, the proposed terminal offers an innovative solution to the industrial land crunch squeezing numerous industries across the region. It also affords direct access to major truck and rail corridors that connect Delta

already made scientific contributions to the overall understanding of the ecosystem at Roberts Bank. The port authority has also committed to a comprehensive monitoring program to ensure proposed mitigation measures are working properly.

Lastly, this project would support thousands of middle-class jobs, as well as provide benefits to indigenous groups through training, employment, contract opportunities and community investments.

The expanded terminal would also require improved roads, intersections and traffic flows, which will benefit local

residents and businesses that service the region.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 has undergone significant study and review by independent subject matter experts and the appropriate regulators. The port authority has consulted with indigenous groups, local government and the public to gather and incorporate feedback into the project design. Given the current investment climate in B.C., these are the types of well-planned and forward-looking infrastructure projects that deserve — and need — our support.

South Delta moves the classroom outside Tsawwassen high school uses newly-renovated space to take learning into fresh air environment

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 benefits of outdoor classrooms and their impact on learning is being put to the test in a new project at South Delta Secondary.

Several departments at the Tsawwassen high school are now using a newly-renovated space as a chance to take learning into a fresh air environment.

As part of his Grade 9 science course, Richard Hortness is teaching his students about sustainability and resource renewal. Part of that project is to get students to design and build an outdoor classroom with seating for 30 that is also self-sustaining for power and water.

“Several groups came up with easy to construct pallet furniture. The benefit here is that wooden pallets are generally created with a one-time use in mind,” he said. “As such we got lots of donated wood that we could use to construct easy seating for our students while reduc-

a fully self-sufficient classroom. Once we get things like solar panels we can start to teach our students more about new aspects of our curriculum like electronics and conservation through renewable resources.

“There is a genuine interest from the students to get out of the classroom, enjoy the benefits of being outside, while still learning and completing their studies.”

Hortness said studies have found that attention spans increase when kids are out of a classroom setting, and when they PHOTO BY IAN JACQUES come back inside they Students at South Delta Secondary are benefiting from a new outdoor classroom space. focus better.

New off-leash area at shelter includes agility equipment

A new off-leash dog area has officially opened at the Delta Community Animal Shelter.

Last Thursday morning, Mayor George Harvie was on hand to open the dog agility yard and fenced-off leash area, which are open to the public.

Fortis BC, a key financial supporter, also participated in the opening celebration.

Harvie was also joined by two Delta students, Olivia and Gabriel, who were selected to spend the day with the mayor as part of his first-ever Mayor for a

Day Contest.

Harvie recognized Fortis BC for its generous support and the shelter’s Tollie Fund, which also provided project funding.

In addition to the new off-leash area, Fortis BC is the title sponsor for the shelter’s Community Animal Expo, a free family event scheduled for Aug. 18 at Memorial Park.

“This investment offers a new area to provide additional training to shelter dogs, enhancing their well-being and helping get them ready for adoption,” said Harvie. “Supporting

our shelter animals and improving Delta’s outdoor public infrastructure are both important goals supported by Delta council.”

The off-leash area is approximately 1,110 square metres in size and features agility equipment for dogs of all skill levels.

“The shelter’s new outdoor dog yard and agility area will help improve the lives of shelter dogs, while also providing the public with a new offleash fenced area for their dogs to enjoy,” added shelter manager Ryan Voutilainen.

University seeks participants for new hearing study.

Connect Hearing, in conjunction with Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph, are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. Of particular interest to the researchers is identifying how we listen. There is a current theory that divides people into two “listening groups”. People in the first group need to put more effort into their listening, while members in the second group aren’t easily distracted.

It’s the people in the first group

who will look for a solution to their hearing loss sooner than the second group, even though the level of hearing loss could be very similar. The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from oneon-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help. You’ll be playing an important part in a study that will further identify the key factors impacting hearing difficulties and better understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

One house is full. One is awaiting occupants.

I wish they both had residents.

The little red house with the yellow roof is the one that’s seen the signs of life. I don’t know what’s in there — swallows, maybe.

Whatever they are, they come and go all day long, bringing twigs and moss and whatever else they need to pretty up their pad.

The one on the neighbouring tree — it’s yellow with a red roof — is so far empty this year.

“Hmm,” I said to the husband. We were sitting

on the porch, our eyes on the occupied home.

“I’m thinking we need to paint the empty house,” I said. “They seem to prefer red houses with yellow roofs.”

“Let’s wait,” he said.

“Maybe we should put a sign on it,” I said. “Like ‘Open House’ or something like that.”

“I don’t think they read,” the husband observed.

This may well be true.

But I can’t for the life of me figure out why one house is appealing and the other is apparently not. I mean, both houses are in the same neighbourhood.

They’re both the same size. They both have the same proximity to whatever the residents need.

And they both have the same rent. Which is to say, no rent at all.

“When we were house hunting,” I continued, “we wanted certain things, remember? A minimum of three bedrooms. A school in the vicinity. A quiet street with little traffic.”

“And your point?” asked

the husband.

“Well,” I said, “I don’t know what’s on the musthave list of these little birds, but the houses are exactly the same. So why would one be filled, and one be empty?”

The husband shrugged his shoulders and sipped his gin and tonic.

“Maybe the birds in the red house are planning to have fewer children than the birds that are scoping out the yellow house, so they’re bypassing the place and looking for a larger home,” he said.

No matter. We’ll continue to keep an eye on things and be cool with whatever happens.

We’re approaching the lazy days of summer when things slow down and we sit on the deck. It could use a decent scrub right now, but that sounds a lot like work.

Besides, we already have a job on our hands.

We’re darned busy chilling and sipping our drinks, and watching the little houses.

Seven car boot sales are planned for Centennial Beach during the 2019 season.

Car boot sales returning to Centennial this Saturday

Summer is around the corner which is a signal the popular South Delta car boot sales are about to commence.

Volunteers of the Boundary Bay Park Association have announced the 2019 schedule for the 16th season of the sales that will be held on Saturdays twice monthly at Centennial Beach in Boundary Bay. The first sale will be Saturday, June 8 from 8.30 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.

The $10 fee for vendors, which has remained

unchanged for several years, provides two parking spaces — one for the vehicle, one for the wares — on a first come, first served basis. Gates will open at 8 a.m. for set up and a vendor should provide their own display material and ground cover.

A volunteer is always on hand to offer suggestions and assistance with set up as well as loaning the odd tarp if needed. All stalls should be dismantled and cleared by 12.30 p.m.

Future dates are June 22, July 13 and 27, Aug. 10 and 24, and Sept. 7.

Although Tsawwassen boasts more than its share of sunshine, if the weather is inclement, a decision to cancel the sale will be made on the morning of the event.

For those not familiar with the term car boot sale, it follows the traditional British form of a market where the boot, or trunk, of the car is used as a location to sell household items, garden goods, crafts or anything that might no longer be of use to the owner.

For information contact Tom at 604-940-9296.

Horsing Around in Delta Greenhawk Makes it Easy to Start Riding

by Susan Balcom Once an elite sport, horseback riding is becoming more accessible – thanks, in part, to Greenhawk’s determination to provide new riders with reliable, affordable equipment.

A Canadian company, Greenhawk publishes a sale flyer each season, featuring items on sale that riders and horse owners need at that time. The current summer flyer, in effect until the end of August, offers fly sheets and fly masks on sale, along with fly sprays and tack cleaning supplies, which are always needed during the busy summer horse show season. There’s no having to wait until winter to get good deals on the things that are needed right now.

EQUINE ESSENTIALS TACK & LAUNDRY SERVICES

Beginning riders typically come to Greenhawk looking for the basics: a helmet, riding boots, half chaps, breeches and gloves. This entire collection can be purchased as a package for $179.99 in children’s sizes and $189.99 for adults. Getting started was never easier.

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

At both our Vancouver and Langley locations, well-trained staff can help to properly fit riding helmets and boots. Often a safety vest is on the shopping list too, as more riding coaches recommend this additional piece of equipment, particularly for students who are learning to jump a horse. ASTM approved safety vests are now mandatory for cross-country competition.

604-992-5676 • equineessentials@outlook.com Delta, BC • at Greystone Stables, 6087 64th Street

Numerous styles of breeches, chaps and boots have been introduced in recent years and the line between English and Western styles is becoming blurred. Greenhawk’s own Auken brand of half chaps includes the new Auken Pro chap ($149.99) fashioned from brown and black leather and trimmed with decorative stitching. With its Spanish-cut top, this chap is appealing to Western and recreational trail riders as well as traditional English equestrians.

For summer, many riders choose breeches that are made from light weight stretch material that is breathable and comfortable.

The Elation Velocity pull-on tight comes in navy blue or plum colours and is currently on sale for $109.99. Like much more costly breeches, these riding tights have silicone grip at the knees, rather than knee patches.

When it comes to helmets, new riders often find the selection overwhelming. At Greenhawk, we like to say that the best helmet is the one that fits best. There are good, safety-approved helmets in every price range, from less than $100 to $700 and up. Customers are encouraged to take their time deciding and to wear the helmet around in the store for a while before buying. A snug fit is ideal, as the foam lining inside a helmet may compress slightly over time.

Riders with long hair need to have their helmets fitted “hair up” and wearing a hair net.

Once the rider is properly equipped, the fun and challenge of riding can begin. Search out a certified coach, ask to watch a few lessons at a stable nearby and visit local shows. Just hanging out with horses is a wonderful way to spend the summer.

Short-term homes needed for pups

BC & Alberta Guide Dogs needs volunteers in South Delta and Richmond to provide short-term, loving homes for expectant canine moms and their newborn pups.

Whelpers provide a stable environment for the mother before and after the birth of her litter and take care of the puppies during their first stages of development.

While an overload of puppy cuteness is a definite perk of the job, this

important role requires much time and patience.

“It’s an eight-week, 24/7 full-time commitment,” said Linda Thornton, director of breeding and puppy raising at BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. “But it can be an incredibly rewarding experience when you watch these young dogs discover a whole new world around them.”

The program is needed to ensure a regular supply of guide dogs, autism support dogs and PTSD ser-

vice dogs to those in need.

As the professionallytrained adult guide and service dogs are provided at no cost to the recipient, along with client training and aftercare, volunteers are integral to the organization’s mission.

Many BC & Alberta Guide Dog puppy whelpers enjoy the experience so much they volunteer year after year for the job.

“I have had the pleasure of whelping four litters of puppies,” said volunteer Ken Lewis, who is soon

to whelp litter number five. “Watching these little creatures grow from birth to seven weeks old is absolutely incredible. It is hard to relate how rewarding it is to raise and whelp a litter of puppies that will make such a difference in people’s lives.”

All food and vet costs are covered, and whelpers receive training, supplies and support from the staff at BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. The primary caregiver is required to be at home and be able to pro-

Too many are caught up in the here and now and do not know their eternal destination.

The Christian faith calls its followers to “set their eyes on Jesus.” Indeed, Jesus stands for me as a true north on the compass of my life.

As a follower of Christ, I make every decision in light of how it will move me to him. If a decision takes me further away I make a correction. If a correction is not possible, then I appeal to God’s grace and mercy to open a way for me.

Thousands flock to 48th Avenue for every edition of the Ladner Village Market. The market, which features over 160 artisan vendors, will be held on seven Sundays from June through September.

The Ladner Village Market kicks off its 23rd season this Sunday.

The popular open-air market will be held two Sundays every month along 48th Avenue from Delta to Elliott streets.

Markets run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. rain or shine.

Entertainment on opening day will be provided by Marlin Ramazzini & Co. in the morning and the Dave Paterson Duo in the afternoon.

There are seven dates for the 2019 season: June 9 and 23, July 14 and 28, Aug. 11 and 25, and Sept.

8.

The market features more than 160 artisan vendors from around the province. With an emphasis on make it, bake it or grow it, the market allows everyone to meet the individuals who create the products.

“It’s a real commitment for our vendors, but they love our cheery atmosphere,” said market coordinator Tracey McKnight.

“Many of these vendors go to many different markets

Fresh from the farm produce is always a hit at the Ladner Village Market. throughout the summer, but they love the helpfulness of our volunteers and staff. They love the outstanding quality of the products that are being shown.”

McKnight said they will welcome more than 30 new vendors this season in many categories, including art, fabric, prepared foods, home decor, jewelry, community non-profits, pet accessories, plants, pottery, produce and wood.

The market also features great food, including popular food trucks.

Some of the confirmed eats include grilled cheese, hamburgers, sausage in a bun, mac and cheese, curried vegetarian, Mediterranean cuisine and more.

Each market will also feature fun, lively music and local buskers, including balloon art. A full lineup of entertainment is available at the market website: https://ladnervillagemarket.com/.

Water fountains are also on Delta Street, so bring your own water bottle and don’t forget to bring your own totes to carry your food, fresh produce, meats and other items.

Indoor public washrooms can be found at the Ladner Community Police Station at the corner of

Delta and Bridge streets, plus there are seven portable outdoor washrooms with hand-wash stations on 48th Avenue at Elliott Street and also on Delta Street.

“Ladner Village Market is very community oriented,” added McKnight.

“We’re using eight local businesses to create artwork, our logo, banners and signage, handle bookkeeping, postcards, student employees and volunteers.”

And speaking of volunteers, McKnight said they would love to have a few more to help between 7:15 and 9:30 a.m. each Sunday the market is open. See the website for more details.

The Ladner Village Market also finds ways to give back to the community through its annual donation. This year that donation is going to Radina Photography and Alongside You which have partnered to produce a new project called Celebrating Resilience.

The market has become a destination outing for visitors from throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond.

Round of golf features laughs, gossip and long-held secrets happy with how the season has played out.

“Every single show people leave and come up to me and say what a great show it was and that they can’t wait to see the next one,” she said. “The fact we still have one more show to do and I already have 100 subscriptions for next year is really something. It’s gratifying that people see us as their theatre company. You always see a lot of familiar faces at our shows, so it really is like one big family.”

Sidekick performs at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre in bistro-style seating, so the audience can come out and watch the play while sipping on a glass of wine and nibbling on snacks from the theatre’s concession stand.

The Ladies Foursome runs June 12 to 22 (Wednesday to Saturday) with shows at 8 p.m. There will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, June 15.

Tickets can be reserved by calling 604-288-2415.

Sidekick Players Club brings the curtain down on its 22nd season of community theatre in South Delta next week.

Its final production is Norm Foster’s hilarious new comedy The Ladies Foursome, which opens on Wednesday, June 12 at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

Directed by Carroll Lefebvre, The Ladies Foursome tells the tale of four women who play a round of golf after attending a friend’s funeral. The round leads to gossip and secrets as they discuss sex, marriage and a multitude of other topics.

“It’s typical Foster where there are laughs, but there is a lot going on in the subtext and you come away wondering what if,” said Lefebvre.

The cast includes Claire Minns (Dory), Marci Chimich (Connie), Sarah Green (Tate) and Cathy Collis (Margot).

Sidekick Players Club presents The Ladies Foursome featuring Claire Minns, Marci Chimich, Sarah Green and Cathy Collis at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.

“The cast is great,” added Lefebvre. “I’ve worked with Claire as she was a part of Fighting Days, while I’ve worked with Cathy within Sidekick and Marci was in Burn.

Sarah is new, she is from White Rock. She is awesome. It’s been a lot of fun.

Everyone gets along and are all bending over backwards to ensure we have a great show.”

The group’s 22nd season, which began last October, featured four allCanadian productions, a first for the company.

Sidekick has four roles to fill for its next production

The Sidekick Players Club will be holding auditions next week for the first show of its 23rd season.

Set to debut on Oct. 10, Bordertown Café, written by Kelly Rebar and directed for Sidekick by Bernice Fehr, will be the introduction to another great season featuring three Canadian plays and one Irish one.

In Bordertown Café, 17-year-old Jimmy faces the archetypal Canadian dilemma: stay home in Canada, with all its obvious flaws, or go south to the land of opportunity.

Jimmy’s dad is the powerfully encoded Western hero of American popular myth — the cowboy as trucker, living his freedom and riding the roads of Wyoming.

He offers Jimmy the prosperity of his new American home, a large modern house fully equipped with everything, including a capable new wife. In contrast, Jimmy’s mom, Marlene, is a failed wife and a weak, tentative mother. The home she has made for herself and her

son “on the Canadian side of nowhere” is provisional and shabby: half finished, ill equipped, badly decorated.

Jimmy’s conflict is writ large as the play dramatizes Canada’s struggle to negotiate a unique identity in the shadow of its brash, superpower neighbour.

Although global realities have shifted in the decades since the play’s inception, its themes of personal and cultural identity endure.

Auditions for Bordertown Café will be held on Saturday, June 15 from 2 to 4 p.m. and Monday, June 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre. The cast requires two females (40s & 60s) and two males (60s and late teens).

Auditions will be on a first come, first served basis and will include a cold read from the script.

It is a non-equity production.

Author back in Ladner after Book Week trip to Quebec IAN JACQUES

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! ‡

Author Alison Acheson is set to launch her 10th book this weekend in Ladner.

A Little House in a Big Place will be launched on Saturday, June 8 in an event from noon to 3 p.m. at Black Bond Books in Trenant Park Square.

The picture book was published this spring.

Acheson has recently returned from a week in Quebec, sharing this new work in Montreal and the townships as a part of the Canadian Children’s Book Centre and TD-sponsored National Book Week.

“It is such an honour to take part in Book Week,” said Acheson, who presented her book and shared the writing process at more than a dozen schools and libraries.

She has written a blog post about the experience at www.alisonachesonkids.com. Acheson’s published work is an eclectic mix for all ages.

Author Alison Acheson is holding a book launch at Black Bond Books in Ladner this Saturday.

A Little House in a Big Place began with a train ride and a question about what it means to connect with another human being even if they never learn your name or meet face-to-face. Can those childhood waves to train engineers change a life?

Acheson grew up in Tsawwassen and has lived in Ladner for more than two dozen years. The area will always have a piece of

her heart.

Her sons have grown up playing hockey and baseball, and it was in this town that her spouse, Marty Hatlelid, a.k.a.

Guitar Marty, passed away from ALS in 2016.

The community gathered around the family in support, and Acheson has written a memoir of that time, titled Dance Me to the End, which will be published in September.

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!

Weaver’s childhood years in East Delta were full of music, including a children’s church choir.

In her early teens, when her mother was volunteering as part of the church cleaning roster, Weaver would go with her to sing and play her guitar because she adored the acoustics the church offered.

At 18, Weaver held her first public performance at Ladner United, a sister church to St. Stephen’s, with original compositions and songs by other artists, including David Campbell and John Denver, who were a couple of her early inspirations and with

Jemma Dash has received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada graduate scholarship.

Master’s student examines the modern movie trailer 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

Jemma Dash caught the film bug at an early age.

Now that passion is paying off through a significant funding grant towards a research thesis at UBC. The South Delta Secondary grad recently received a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada graduate scholarship.

After receiving her BA in film studies and psychology from UBC, she is completing the first year of her master’s degree in cinema and media studies.

Her thesis examines the form and function of the modern movie trailer in the context of social media.

“My dad graduated from UBC in the film production program, so I have followed in his footsteps,” Dash said.

“One thing that SDSS had, which was really spe-

cial, was the theatrical program which later developed into the film and television academy that they have now. I worked with Paige Hansen and Richard Dean Cox for my entire time in high school and it was really cool to work with people with so much experience and have that time set aside with real professionals really paved the way.

“In terms of my academic career here at UBC, it’s a lot to do with the industry as a whole.”

While an undergraduate student at UBC, Dash ran a student-directed seminar focusing on the ideological and social analysis of classic and contemporary Disney films.

Under Dr. Christine Evan’s guidance, this class was the first studentdirected seminar to be accredited by UBC’s department of theatre and film.

She will present her

research on Disney’s Teaser Trailers on YouTube at this year’s annual Film Studies Association of Canada’s conference hosted at UBC. She is also a teaching assistant for Evan’s introductory film studies class and is excited to take on the role of editor in chief of the upcoming issue of UBC’s film studies journal, Cinephile, this fall.

“Getting this grant from the SSHRC was huge,” she said. “It was such a long and daunting process. The world of grants is so intimidating, but I had a lot of support from the faculty at UBC. I’m so grateful for that help.

“It is really cool that my research is being supported by the government because I think a lot of students are kind of persuaded away from going into things like the arts, so it’s a nice gesture that people doing all sorts of things can be supported.”

On the Water Boating and Marine Feature

Are You and Your Boat Ready for the Season?

By John Gullick – Canadian Safe Boating Council

Every year thousands of boaters go out on the water without giving any thought to how prepared either they or their boats are for the season ahead. Personal preparation involves ensuring you have on-hand your Pleasure Craft Operator Card, up to date nautical charts, a pre-departure checklist and have obtained a reliable marine weather forecast.

The Canadian government also mandates that specific safety equipment be carried on board.

This equipment can be of great benefit and can mean the difference between a great day out on the water and a potential disaster.

Your trusted Evinrude Engine supplier and repair centre since 1953.

When it comes to vessel preparedness, one of the first things to ensure is that your boat and engine(s) are mechanically sound. Remember that, throughout most of Canada, boats have been in storage for a number of months over the winter and may not operate as efficiently as they did last season. Make sure that you follow the recommended maintenance schedule found in your boat’s owner’s manual.

Earthwise workshop shows gardeners how to plant for pollinators June 16 to 23 is national Pollinator Week, a time to celebrate pollinators and learn more about what we can do to protect them.

On Saturday, June 15, Earthwise Society and Feed the Bees will be offering a Planting for Pollinators workshop from 10 to 11 a.m. to demonstrate how we can do our part at home to attract and feed pollinators.

Although they are tiny, pollinators provide a critical service to our ecosystem. Birds, butterflies, bats, bees and other small insects travel from plant to plant carrying pollen on their bodies that allows the vital transfer of genetic material necessary for flowering plants to reproduce.

Most plants need pollinators to help them with

pollination — without them, many of the foods that we currently enjoy would no longer be available. Not only do pollinators play a crucial role in supporting the food we eat, but they help to maintain diversity in our ecosystems.

However, pollinators are in trouble. As native vegetation is replaced by lawns, roads and housing,

pollinators lose food and critical habitat they need to survive. The declining pollinator population is an urgent issue that affects all of us.

Home gardeners can help to protect and provide habitat for pollinators by landscaping with plants that provide pollen and nectar year round. The Planting for Pollinators workshop will show how

to do just that. As an added benefit, your pollinator habitat will create a garden that is always bright with colour as something will always be in bloom.

The workshop will highlight some of the native species of plants that are so important for providing pollinator forage to native pollinator species such as hummingbirds and

bumble bees. Workshop participants will be treated to a guided tour of the Earthwise Garden as an example of pollinatorfriendly planting and will have the opportunity to purchase a selection of pesticide-free plants at the Earthwise Farm Store.

Sun Devils a force in Junior & Grade 8 levels at track & field championships MARK BOOTH

Delta athletes basked in the Okanagan heat to produce a number of outstanding performances at last weekend’s B.C. Secondary Schools Track and Field Championships in Kelowna.

The South Delta Sun Devils showcased their promising young talent at the Apple Bowl with several podium finishes at the junior and Grade 8 levels.

This resulted in South Delta finishing fifth and third respectively in the team standings.

Leading the way was Madelyn Bonikowsky capturing gold in both the 1,500 and 800 metre races.

Last fall, the Grade 10 standout started her school year off by winning the provincial cross-country junior girls title.

SDSS exchange student Jonathan Hofer looked right at home on the track, winning the junior boys 3,000 metre race and adding a bronze in the 1,500.

At the Grade 8 level, Aiden Turner thrived in the hurdle races, winning gold

in the 100 metre event and adding bronze over 200 metres.

Rounding out the SDSS medal winners was a pair of Grade 8 girls relay teams.

Hattie Lundie, Katrina Staley, Ava Lappin and Ella Arnold captured silver in the 4x100. Gemma Dumas then joined Staley, Lappin and Lundi to earn bronze in the 4x400 event.

Meanwhile Southpointe Academy’s Kaylie Borntraeger captured the junior girls long jump.

Sun Devils back on provincial rugby podium MARK BOOTH

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

South Delta Sun Devils saved their best for last to reach the podium for the second straight year at the B.C. Secondary Schools AAA Rugby Championships.

The Sun Devils closed out another outstanding campaign with a dominating 57-12 victory over the Yale Lions on a spectacular Saturday afternoon at Abbotsford’s impressive Exhibition Park.

This was the same opponent that handed South Delta its first loss of the season three weeks earlier — a 42-14 result in the Fraser Valley semi-finals. The defending B.C. champions played that game minus some key players thanks to a rash of injuries, including captains Caleb van Til and Andrew Kraft. In the rematch, the seniors led an electrifying performance that saw South Delta break a tight game wide open with seven unanswered tries.

Kraft led the charge with six of them — showcasing his punishing style and speed.

“I love rugby so much and this is the ending I wanted,” smiled Kraft who will now solely focus on his football career at Simon Fraser University this fall. “We all came back at some point (from injuries) and I feel this is the game we have been practising for all year and that’s what really is cool about it. To have the last game be the one we won, especially in high school. This is pretty special.”

Andrew Kraft closed out his high school career in spectacular fashion Saturday, scoring six tries to lead South Delta to a 57-12 bronze medal win over Yale.

South Delta also got tries from Chase Marshall, Evan Paterson and Ethan Troniak — the latter two being standout Grade 11s that should have the Sun Devils back in provincial contention again next season.

The Devils headed to the eight-team

tier one provincial draw as the No. 4 seed after also falling to Mountain in the Valley third place game. They opened play Wednesday with a 29-14 win over No. 5 Kelowna — setting the stage for Thursday’s semi-final match-up with Fraser Valley champion and No. 1 seed

Earl Marriott.

For the second straight year, the South Surrey powerhouse had come down from the five-team Premier League to contest for the “AAA” title.

The Sun Devils failed to capitalize on an early chance to open the scoring and the Mariners punched in a pair of tries to take a 12-0 lead into halftime. Paterson put his team within five with a try that he also converted. The Devils got within five metres of the potential go-ahead score but the Mariners turned them back and added an insurance try with under five minutes remaining.

Marriott went on to capture the provincial banner with a 46-19 win over Robert Bateman.

“We lost a couple of key guys on the field and we kind of looked a little unorganized and panicked,” said South Delta coach Spencer Baines. “The weight and gravity of the big game kind of got to us and just the little mistakes added up in a razor tight game. That’s what makes the difference.”

Baines watched his team bounce back in a big way Saturday with superb tackling and terrific ball movement that put their playmakers in position to excel.

“I’m so happy and so proud of them,” he added. “If we play the way we played today and play our game we can beat anybody. We’re a little inconsistent but that comes with experience. We will build on this for next year and I think we will be back here again with another chance.”

Ewen leads Islanders to win over his former team

MARK BOOTH

The Delta Islanders didn’t wait until the B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League trading deadline this time to move Ryan Jones.

The high-scoring 21-year-old Delta native was dealt to the Langley Thunder last week, along with defender Harrison Smith for three players — Ty Ewen, Aiden Ellis and Connor Whyte.

The trio made an immediate impact in their debut on Saturday night in Ladner, ironically against their former team.

Ewen had five goals and three assists, while Whyte chipped in with a goal and four helpers to lead the Islanders to a 13-11 overtime win. Jones had five points for the Thunder.

In his final year of junior eligibility, Jones has now been traded in each of the last three seasons.

In 2017, he was sent to Ontario League powerhouse Six Nations and last year he led the

ADOPT A CYCLIST The Delta Junior “A” Islanders have traded Ryan Jones for the third straight year, this time to Langley.

BCJALL in playoff scoring in helping the New West Salmonbellies reach the finals, only to bow out to Coquitlam.

With Delta (3-7) well out of a playoff position. He was certain to be moved again and a month ahead of the July 1st deadline sweetened the return.

The 6-3-0 Thunder yielded some of their future as they look to earn one of two B.C. berths up for grabs for the Minto Cup. Ewen was the Thunder’s first round pick in the 2017 Midget Draft and

has two more seasons of eligibility. The Surrey native had six points in three games since joining Langley from his freshman year at Queen’s University of Charlotte in North Carolina.

Ellis will give the Islanders some defensive help while Whyte is a Port Moody native who helped Maple Ridge win the B.C. Intermediate title in 2017.

Delta completes a home-and-home series with the Thunder tonight.

Victoria is at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Saturday at 5 p.m.

BILLET HOSTS NEEDED Host families are asked to provide: • A private bedroom for a rider July 5 - 9 • A warm welcome for the rider’s stay in Delta “Ladner is so special in many ways. Volunteering as a host family for the Tour de Delta is one of the ways that I can give back by representing Ladner as a giving and caring community. I also learnt a lot about the racing community in Canada and my lady racer was certainly polite and respectful of my home.

It was my pleasure to volunteer. I hope to do so again in the future.” – Judy

Perhaps the greatest compliment for the South Delta Sun Devils’ rich history at the B.C. AAA Girls Soccer Championships is they rarely underachieve. That was certainly the case once again last week at the Cloverdale Athletic Park.

The Sun Devils wrapped up their 18th consecutive appearance at the 16-team showcase event with a fifth place finish.

After placing second in their pool group, they slipped past Sardis in penalty kicks then made the most of their scoring changes to double a talented Charles Best side 4-2 to close out the championships.

With Breanne Gallagher and Emily Birarda being the lone Grade 12s on the roster, longtime coaches Stephen Burns South Delta Sun Devils won four of five games to finish fifth at the B.C. AAA Girls Soccer Championships in Cloverdale.

and Brent Sweeney were hopeful of a top eight finish from their young side. Yet there was the Devils challenging for their second straight appearance on the podium after winning bronze a year ago.

They opened with a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Handsworth before dropping a 1-0 decision to eventual third place finisher McMath. A 2-0 win against Claremont to conclude round-robin play was only good enough for second in their group after McMath defeated Handsworth to finish at 3-0-0.

the second half when South Delta seemed to run out of steam and the Wildcats produced the game’s only goal when they converted on a long ball counter.

“We were definitely on the throttle at the start but then we seemed to run out of energy. I think we just exhausted ourselves in the morning coming back in the Handsworth game the way we did. The second half was probably our best of the season,” said Burns.

“There are no excuses but the girls seemed spent (against McMath). They didn’t seem to have any energy left. We
