Hot Dog! Gourmet Dogs Support Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

ALZHEIMER’S & DEMENTIA CARE

FUNDRAISER

SATURDAY, JUNE 22

11:30am – 2:30pm

FEATURING Myrtle’s Chicago Dog, New York Dog and The SouthWex Dog. Each made with Nathan’s™ ¼ lb hot dogs.

PLUS circus-themed fun for all ages— RAIN OR SHINE!

Myrtle’s Famous Hot Dogs and The Wexford seniors community in Tsawwassen team up for a third year to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC by selling gourmet hot dogs.

Famous Myrtle’s stand was a destination for hot dog lovers in Tsawwassen and Metro Vancouver for five years until owner John Meier retired and joined the Bria Communities team as the distinguished driver of the residents’ courtesy shuttle. Once a year, by popular demand, Myrtle’s Famous dogs return to benefit a cause close to John’s heart.

Last year, this community event raised over $4,200, serving more than 450 gourmet dogs, including Myrtle’s specialities—The Chicago and The New York.

Chef Leif of The Wexford’s will add his special touch as well, serving the SouthWex dog alongside Myrtle’s classics. Come prepared to give generously! The minimum donation for a dog and a drink is $5, and there will be other opportunities to give.

Join us at The Wexford on Saturday, June 22 from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm to enjoy a delicious hot dog for a minimum $5 donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

Pride flag vandalized again Ladner teens counter hateful act at church with messages of inclusion 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

With coloured chalk in hand, students from Delta Secondary helped turn a message of hate into one of love and inclusion.

Following the news Saturday that the pride flag hanging outside Ladner United Church had been defaced for the second time in two weeks, Grade 8 student Heather Thwaits and her older sister Alex (Grade 11) came up with the idea to spread something positive.

They reached out to their friends and on Monday after school close to 20 students coloured and presented messages of love on the sidewalks, steps and stone pillars out front of the 48th Avenue church.

Both girls have been members of the church since they were born.

“It’s really disappointing to see this,” said Heather.

“Ladner has been really accepting, so it’s sad to see this once and now twice.”

The church’s trustee and leadership council co-chair Sue King said it was heartwarming to see students take this kind of action.

“Some in the community jump to the conclusion that it’s the kids’ fault, but it’s not always the kids,” King said. “These are wonderful teenagers and they wanted to make a positive statement and do what they could to say they are in support of the LGBTQ+ community.”

When news broke of the first pride flag being defaced June 2, there was a collective outcry of anger and frustration throughout the community. That

Delta Secondary students use coloured chalk to write messages of love and inclusion at the entrance to Ladner United Church Monday afternoon. outcry continued on social media last Saturday when the second flag was defaced with several residents offering to pay for surveillance cameras for the church, while others suggested that residents and businesses should join together in solidarity and flood the community with pride flags.

At its Sunday service following the defacing of the first flag, Ladner United invited the public to its congregation to sign words of love and support. On Monday, that signed flag was hung at the entrance to the church.

The church’s leadership

council will be meeting tonight (Thursday) to discuss its next steps.

“It is our regular meeting and certainly the idea of a surveillance camera, as sad as it is, will be on the agenda,” said King.

“We are getting offers from all over the place for different things, including from someone to hook up the camera for us.

“People are dismayed and upset because we have had the flag up there for the past five years. We hang up the refugee flag. I don’t know how offensive a flag could be. The pride flag is an inclusive flag. It doesn’t matter who you

are.”

King said she was at another event on Saturday when she received a call about the second flag being defaced.

“We wanted to get the first flag back up as soon as possible,” she said.

“Despite what has happened, we are fortunate that we live in a wonderful community and that people really do embrace one another. We are an inclusive church and we embrace everyone. This has been upsetting. This has been my church for 40 years and I have had nothing like this ever happen before.”

Delta police confirmed with the Optimist that both incidents have been reported to police.

“This new incident is an active investigation. As such, we can’t comment on aspects of it, such as suspects or techniques that could be used, etc.,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf.

Following the first flag defacing, both the City of Delta and Delta School District held ceremonies to raise pride flags.

Mayor George Harvie took to Twitter Saturday night to post his disappointment of the latest incident.

Film students create driving high PSA for Delta police

Just in time for grad season, Delta Film Academy students have created a public service announcement for Delta police about the risks of driving while high on marijuana.

The project began last fall when DPD drug recognition expert Const.

Grayson Smith came in to speak with students about drug impaired driving. At the time marijuana was just in the process of being

legalized in Canada.

Smith had a frank discussion with the students, only some of whom had reached driving age, about the impacts marijuana could have on drivers, and what he had seen as a police officer.

As a result of that interaction, a team of nine students in grades 9 to 12 created the 30-second PSA. “We looked at other PSAs that were out there,

but the students didn’t want to make it too serious,” said film academy teacher coordinator Jennifer McKee. “Instead they opted to pull you through the experience of going to a party — it’s cool and easy — and then it’s not funny anymore.”

The students — under the guidance of their teachers — had free rein on the project as DPD

opted not to give them any guidelines, other than asking for something that could be shared readily on social media.

The students who filmed, edited and acted in the PSA included: Michael Kirk, Deanna Gossilin, Maclaren Bulman, Emre Hakan Elitemiz, Nathan Wismer, William Jope, Logan Fields and Dane Dopud.

“I was very impressed

by their work,” said DPD Chief Neil Dubord. “It’s great that they chose a subtle way to get the message across. The acting and caliber of the video is excellent. Who better than teens to help get the message out to other young people about the risks of driving impaired by drugs?”

The PSA video can be found on YouTube and on the Optimist website.

Police receive report of man dancing in robe 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

• June 9, 1:15 p.m., 4800-block of 8A Avenue: Complainant reported someone had pushed over

a cedar hedge tree in his front yard. Complainant heard a noisy group in front of his house the night prior and suspects they damaged the tree. Queries were negative for related events or calls in the area.

The tree has been propped up, however, concerns are that it will eventually die.

Approximate value: $250.

• June 9, 11:20 p.m., Tsatsu Shores Drive/ Tsawwassen Drive: Police received a call for assistance from a couple after being locked behind the gate off Tsatsu Shore Drive leading to the beach on the south side of ferry causeway.

to unlock the gate.

• June 11, 4:06 p.m., 1100-block of 50B Street: Complainant called police reporting a break and enter to his shed.

Man is facing charges after allegedly punching youth A 32-year-old Delta man is facing several charges after allegedly punching a youth in an attempted robbery of a group of teenagers in Tsawwassen earlier this month.

Katlin James Richardson is facing three counts of robbery, one count of uttering threats with the intent to cause bodily harm and one count of assault.

According to Delta police, on June 2, shortly after 1 a.m., a man approached six youths

walking near 1st Avenue and English Bluff Road.

The man allegedly instructed the youths to hand over their valuables, and threatened to shoot them if they did not obey his instructions.

One youth explained that he did not have a wallet on him, and was allegedly punched twice in the face.

The youths ran away and called 9-1-1. Police arrived on scene within five minutes and located the youths nearby.

Trucker killed on Deltaport Way 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 Surrey man has been identified as the victim of a fiery semi-truck collision on Deltaport Way last Thursday morning.

Police are not releasing the man’s name.

The collision took place at approximately 9:45 a.m. in the 3500-block of Deltaport Way and involved two semi-trucks.

Initial calls to Delta police indicated the collision was between a semi-

truck and a car.

“One truck was travelling eastbound on Deltaport Way and the other truck was travelling westbound at the time of the collision,” said DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf. “Delta police were on scene shortly after the incident occurred, as was the Delta Fire Department. The cause of the collision has not been determined, but police can confirm that one other driver received non-serious injuries.”

Fire makes TFN home uninhabitable 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 Delta Fire Department continues to investigate the cause of a fire at the Tsawwassen First Nation Sunday.

Firefighters responded to the blaze in the 2100block of Tsawwassen Drive just after 5:30 p.m.

“When crews arrived

there were three sheds at the back of a mobile home,” said deputy Chief Brad Wilson. “The back of the house also sustained some damage.”

TFN communications officer Adrian McNair said the fire damage rendered the home uninhabitable.

He said arrangements were found for the residents.

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

They’re faces with a story to tell, many from long ago, but those tales have yet to be told because the faces are unidentified.

The Delta Archives has thousands of old photos of people whose identities are unknown, a problem common with other archives and even family photo albums, particularly when it comes to pictures from many decades ago.

The subjects in such photos might have been well known at one time but as time passed those able to put names to faces have passed on as well.

The Delta Archives is hoping, with the public’s help, it will be able to put names to some of its many unknown faces.

Todd Stewardson, deputy director of the parks, recreation and culture department, said having unidentified photos is a problem everyone, including himself, can relate to, mainly because accurate record keeping isn’t usually top of mind for most people. He said during his own family reunion old photo albums were brought out, but there were images in them of people whose identities were not known, leaving the family guessing.

“Everyone has these photos. It’s been a challenge for both the archives

and museum collection overall. It’s been built up over decades and practices when the collecting started were not the practices we follow today,” Stewardson added.

Delta Archives curator Darryl MacKenzie said many photos that were donated don’t have names written on the back or an accompanying record was lost, but they provide an interesting glimpse about a particular time nonetheless.

“There are certainly photos that nobody knows who’s in them, first of all.

If that’s the main subject of the photo, what are we retraining here?

Sometimes we will have photographs not because who is in the photo but what’s in behind the people in the picture and what does that reveal about the landscape or other historical events of the time,” said MacKenzie.

“That helps us be able to place the importance of the image overall. The story why we might retain the photograph is not necessarily the people, but maybe it’s the fashion. Just recently we were given a photograph of a number of people playing on cannons in Memorial Park in the 1920s. We don’t necessarily know who the children are but the fact the cannons were there following World War 1, that’s something we can use to say,

Delta Archives looking to put names to some of the many unknown faces in its collection ‘Where did these cannons come from and why were they important to Delta at the time?’ It’s a clue that leads us on a track,” he explained.

Barbara Baydala, president of the Delta Heritage Society, said such photos provide an interesting commentary, including

their phones, but they don’t have a place to write down information.

“That’s a problem we’re considering for the future in the archives. Where do you store that information, how do you capture that and think how many people are taking photos now compared to the past?”

Ladner. what family groupings looked like. She noted some photos of children from as long as a century or more ago are fascinating as well, even though the kids’ names aren’t known, because of the types of toys they’re playing with.

MacKenzie noted in this digital age the problem continues and is even compounded with people easily taking photos on

He said people might post photos on Facebook and tag them, relying on those tags to remain.

Baydala agreed, saying she tries to sort though and categorize her own digital photos, but not all of them.

“With all this digital photography and how easy it is to take photos, you take photos of other people at the drop of a hat. They may not be sig-

In the future your family is looking back at that thinking, ‘Well, that person looks like they must have been your best friend.

Who’s that person?’”

MacKenzie said he was recently digitizing several photos from the early 1900s from his own family members, assuming they came with some sort of letter, but he had no idea who was in the photos other than they were his ancestors. The only clue was that they were “the western family” comprised of members who moved to B.C. “I need to go back and do the genealogical research to try to piece together who that might be and find out where the connection is. I could have relatives in this area but I don’t know who they are. The records that are associated with those photographs somehow got lost along the way.”

Baydala said although many photos have little information, other than perhaps area of origin or just a few identified people in a group, it’s hoped once they are uploaded, descendants or anyone searching for a particular family might be able to add more names.

The archives is welcoming volunteers to take

the time to help do some investigative work, said MacKenzie, noting clues are likely available, either through records or old newspaper articles, to help start piecing together a story that could help identify people in photos.

“If there is anyone interested in doing some of that digging, possibly doing that puzzle work, we’re more than happy to have them help,” he said.

Baydala said she was doing a little digging through the archival pages of the Optimist a couple of years ago to find out about actor Michael J. Fox’s family that came from Ladner, building an entire history of his predecessors and the type of community they lived in back in the day.

The society is also launching an initiative where some of the physical items in the museum collection will be posted in the hopes of identifying them and learning the significance of the articles to Delta’s history. The items likely have a story behind them as well and, perhaps, there’s someone in the community who can offer a trace that leads to those stories.

The Delta Museum and Archives Society recently changed its name to the Delta Heritage Society. For more information, contact info@deltaheritagesociety. ca.

New facility to increase container inspections 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 about building their community, not just making money.

Tsawwassen First Nation Chief Ken Baird had that to proudly say at a grand opening celebration of the Tsawwassen Container Inspection Facility Monday morning.

Having begun operations earlier this year, the state-of-the-art inspection facility for Canada Border Services Agency, located near the Deltaport container terminal on TFN industrial land, is to increase security and the examination capacity for goods arriving at marine ports of entry, primarily Deltaport and Fraser Surrey Docks.

Previously, all containers identified as requiring further examination had to be trucked to an inspection facility in Burnaby.

The 55,000-square-foot Tsawwassen facility is double in size to the one in Burnaby and is designed to not only increase the number of containers

Baird was among several speakers to talk about the new facility’s benefits, including employment opportunities for TFN members, all the while protecting the country.

“This facility allows our borders to be secure and gives officers the opportunity to ensure nothing is coming into this country that shouldn’t be here.

This is the kind of work that often goes unnoticed, so you might say it’s a bit

of a thankless job,” he said.

Baird noted the TFN appreciates Canada Border Services Agency taking the time to understand First Nation culture and ways.

Port of Vancouver president and CEO Robin Silvester was also among the speakers at the opening celebration, reiterating how the projected increase in container volumes at the port will soon exceed capacity, saying the West Coast will run out of capacity by the mid-2020s.

andals do what they do in an effort to gain some sort of notoriety, so in my experience it’s best to simply ignore their transgressions, thus denying them the spotlight they so crave. Unfortunately, there are times when it’s impossible to look the other way, when it’s necessary to shine a light on what these vandals have done in order to rebuke them and their actions in the strongest possible terms.

What has happened at Ladner United Church, where a pride flag has been defaced twice over a two-week span, is one of these instances where the act is so odious it must be admonished and those behind it shown their behaviour won’t be tolerated.

This isn’t like someone kicking over a fence or tagging the side of a building, but rather it’s a deliberate attack on a segment of our community and the values of inclusion that we hold dear.

Perhaps it’s a stupid kid or kids who don’t comprehend the gravity of their actions or like the fact they’ve created a buzz around town. More likely it’s being perpetrated by some small-minded person who has trouble accepting people for who they are.

Regardless, it’s so far out of step with who we are as a community that we must not only condemn the actions but also show our support for Ladner United and the LGBTQ community.

After the first incident it was heartening to see that response, including how other area churches flew pride flags in a show of solidarity and how city hall and the school district office raised pride flags to convey the message that everyone should feel included in Delta.

There’s absolutely no room for intolerance in our city so it was encouraging to see our leaders, from Mayor George Harvie and school board chair Laura Dixon to police Chief Neil Dubord and fire Chief Paul Schofield, make it crystal clear that the dominant message should be one of inclusion, not fear or hate. Chalk-wielding teens reiterated that earlier this week.

I loathe the idea of giving a hateful person the spotlight they desire, but if what comes out of these acts of vandalism is a community that’s more aware, more supportive and more inclusive, then we’re all better for it.

It would be heartwarming if the message that’s left standing at the end of all of this is the exact opposite of the one the vandal intended.

Politicians’ ideas on crossing might not be what we think

W

hen I worked as a reporter I interviewed hundreds of politicians. It was a privilege, but I also knew the majority of them received intense media response training. It’s no accident most politicians are able to avoid answering difficult questions because they’ve been trained to do so.

I always wondered what they really thought about the big issues once the microphones were turned off. Did their self-interests conflict wildly from the sound bite they just gave for the evening newscast?

Take the replacement of the aging and congested George Massey Tunnel. What are the players really thinking? I took some editorial licence to imagine their inner thoughts.

NDP Premier John Horgan accuses Liberal MLAs of playing politics after they displayed a 60th birthday cake for the tunnel that read, “Sorry about the 60 minute wait.” What Horgan really thinks: Where’s my piece of cake, I deserve a treat for stalling the new crossing so that I can fund projects in NDP ridings and really stick it to the Liberals.

Delta MP Carla Qualtrough says she might be able to get some federal money to help

pay for a new crossing. What Qualtrough really thinks: Justin, if you want me to hold on to my seat in the fall election, you better throw some cash at the new crossing. Then when my constituents line up for two hours to get through construction they’ll have a big sign to look at that says, “Funded by the Liberal Government of Canada.”

Delta South Liberal MLA Ian Paton is outraged the Liberals’ 10-lane bridge project was thrown out by the NDP. He wants action now so construction can begin ASAP. What Paton really thinks: I think it’s time I do another video of me weeding around my sign at the entrance to the tunnel so people know I’m making things happen.

Delta Mayor George Harvie says he believes in a regional

solution and he wants a new crossing as soon as possible.

What Harvie really thinks: Hmm, the George Harvie Bridge, that has a nice ring to it.

Richmond-Queensborough Liberal MLA Jas Johal is worried Richmond businesses will leave because no one wants to drive through the tunnel for work. What Johal really thinks: Damn, I gave up my successful broadcasting career to be in the opposition, I can’t get anything done.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie suggests the province should mandate restricting truck traffic through the tunnel during peak times to ease congestion. What Brodie really thinks: There’s no way in hell that anyone has the guts to tell truck drivers what to do.

The Metro Vancouver George Massey Crossing Task Force wants the crossing completed by 2026 at the latest. What the task force really thinks: What sandwiches are we getting this week? I didn’t like the vegetarian ones we got at last month’s meeting.

What are drivers thinking as they drive towards the tunnel: Please, God, don’t let there be an accident or a stall or a fire or a…

Doctor takes the time to find solution to years of suffering

Editor: My wife had been in two major accidents in 2002 and 2004. Since that time she has had good days but mostly bad ones with major pain.

After many hospital and doctor visits, their cure was fentanyl patches, oxycodone and shots of morphine.

On April 9 she was crying in pain and could not move so I called 911 nonemergency. Paramedics came and with much care got her to Delta Hospital.

At emergency she was seen by a doctor (PierreLuc Nadeau) who told her after reviewing her history

he had set up an emergency MRI at Peace Arch Hospital.

When he received the results, he told her he was sending the information to the neurosurgeon at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Within the hour he told her she was going there and they said they could fix her.

On April 16 she had double surgery on her lower spine and was sent back to Delta Hospital on April 19. After getting the staples out on April 30, she could go home.

Since being home, Fraser Health has sent a nurse to remove her dress-

ings and check for any infections, which there were none. Fraser Health recently sent a physiotherapist to assist in her recovery.

After all the years of pain and suffering, a doctor finally took the time to find the problem and fix it.

She would like to thank the paramedics, Fraser Health, Delta Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital for the compassion and care they showed her. She had the chance to see Dr. Nadeau at Delta Hospital after surgery and thanked him in person.

Bottleneck would just move to Oak St.

Editor: Re: MP hints at crossing funding, June 13 Delta Liberal MP Carla Qualtrough’s letter to Premier John Horgan states the urgency for a new crossing and observes how the stretch of highway is an international trade corridor. Looking southward everyone would have to be in agreement with the honourable Liberal MP as well as with the various region’s mayors, First Nations’ chiefs, transportation experts as well as our MLA. Now let us take a 180-degree about face and point northward.

This observation has been brought up before on many occasions with regard to the requirement of improving the evergrowing congestion at the George Massey Tunnel.

Once the improved expansion is functioning, how far down the freeway will this free-flowing traffic go before it encounters the Oak Street Bridge?

Oh yes, no more congestion at the tunnel, but now the congestion begins on

Port should be required to pick up big chunk of tab for new crossing

Editor: Re: MP hints at crossing funding, June 13 I thought I could add some input (outside of the box) regarding Delta MP Carla Qualtrough’s comments about crossing funding.

I think the majority of residents living south of the George Massey Tunnel agree we are long overdue for a tunnel or bridge to relieve congestion but alas everything costs money these days.

The container truck traffic in Delta has exploded in the last five years. Highway 99 and the South Fraser Perimeter Road are clogged with these trucks on a daily basis compounding the congestion issues. We are witnessing a truck staging facility being built on Deltaport Way due to volume.

I would suggest to the powers that be when it comes coming up with money to pay for a tunnel/bridge that the crosshairs point to the Port of Vancouver for a 30 per cent donation to defray costs. Call it a good corporate community gesture for dealing with all these trucks.

And if they don’t want to play? Lock the container trucks out of tunnel from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. so we can actually move through the tunnel in prime time.

Robert Welsh the south end of the Oak Street Bridge.

Has anyone informed the mayor of Vancouver the bottleneck the residents along the Oak Street corridor are going to have to live with?

So for millions of our taxpayers’ dollars, is this what is referred to as collective planning? Or it it a political campaign pledge to re-elect the Delta Liberal MP? Morris Ross

Outlaw leaf blowers on residential property

Editor: It’s 8:30 a.m. on Friday, June 14 and the neighbour across the fence is at it again: using a leaf blower to “clean up” his back patio.

Of course, ironically, he is wearing “hearing protection” so he can’t hear me banging on the fence, trying to get his attention, which so far I haven’t been able to do.

This kind of noisy activity occurs on his property on a regular basis, and disturbs

the sleep/enjoyment of his neighbours on the other side of the fence (seniors who live in a co-op).

So, it’s time to amend the City of Delta noise bylaw and outlaw leaf blowers on residential property because they are not really necessary, and because they cause more harm than good.

We, in the Holly Park neighbourhood of Ladner, would finally like to get some sleep.

T2 is only project that can meet trade demands

Editor: Re: Incremental options to T2 offer no risk to taxpayers, June 6 A recent column by Steve Simpson suggests there are better options at

no risk to taxpayers than the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project. Some of his comments are incorrect and I believe Delta residents deserve to have

the facts.

I too am a long-time (30-year) resident of Delta.

However, as the retired chief financial officer of the port authority, I can speak to the merits of Terminal 2 with some history and knowledge.

The port authority’s forecasts, validated multiple times by leading international experts, show that Canadian west coast marine container terminals will not be able to meet the import and export trade demands of Canadians by the mid2020s. It is imperative that capacity is expanded before that happens, and Terminal 2 is the only project that can be evaluated, approved and built on time.

Terminal 2 is nearing the end of a federal environmental assessment process which started over five years ago. The review, approval, procurement and construction of a new terminal will take well over a decade. Since no other project has even started this process, there

are no alternatives to meet the demand, even when considering expansions at existing terminals, including Prince Rupert.

The potential impacts of not building in time are enormous. As container terminals reach capacity, the costs to users will go up, which will mean higher prices for everyone.

And, as demand will continue to grow, more containers will be redirected through U.S. ports.

I, for one, am not happy with the thought of our imported goods and agricultural exports being dependent on border crossings and U.S. ports.

Simpson attempts to paint a rosier picture for an expansion project recently proposed by the port’s largest container terminal operator, Global Container Terminals, suggesting that a private, forprofit terminal operator is better positioned to build port land. When someone suggests they can help at no cost and no risk to me, I want to look a little deeper.

through user fees, again at no risk to Canadian taxpayers.

This is how port infrastructure is and should be built. The land for Terminal 2 would remain an asset belonging to Canadians, not private enterprise. And the returns on the use of that land would be to the benefit of the port authority and the Canadian public, not corporate shareholders.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, from its board through to every employee, takes its mandate to responsibly facilitate Canada’s trade through the Port of Vancouver seriously. It has an experienced financial team, and departments devoted to community engagement and environmental stewardship.

I have every confidence the path they are on is the right one. The business case is solid. It puts the public interest first and I am proud to endorse the work of the port authority in supporting Terminal 2.

Terminals proposes to build a fourth berth in an area previously rejected by federal officials because of its impact on the environment. And while it may raise the capital for a fourth berth, as a financial professional in their position I would certainly look for government funding and port lease concessions to improve my return on investment.

In addition to undergoing the country’s most rigorous federal environmental review and being purpose-built for immediate use, Terminal 2 would be funded by the port authority, not by taxpayers. As Simpson should know, Canada’s port authorities are financially self-sufficient through revenues from port tenants and users.

The port authority also has an excellent credit rating and borrows funds in Canada’s capital markets. The investment in Terminal 2 would be recouped through a decades-long lease with a terminal operator and

Couple tells how odour has impacted lives 12 days and counting for hearing into air quality permit for East Ladner composting facility 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

Peter Edwards and his wife Linda say they’ve been victimized by a putrid odour that has negatively impacted their lives for more than a decade.

Edwards was the first to take the stand for the resident appellants at an Environmental Appeal Board hearing into an air quality permit for the GFL/ Enviro-Smart composting facility in East Ladner.

His testimony began after 11 days of GFL witnesses and cross-examination.

Peter Edwards, a retired engineer, read a prepared statement to the threemember appeal board panel Tuesday afternoon at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn. He said the couple has lived in its home on London Crescent for 18 years — a home which sits 890 metres from the 72nd Street composting operation.

“I have been at this hearing since the beginning and have heard many facts, figures and opinions

from GFL witnesses,” he said. “My testimony reflects the impacts that West Coast Lawns and GFL have had on our lives.

The stench at many times of the day is so obnoxious that enjoying our backyards, having a barbecue or spending time in the garden is impossible. We frequently have to go out for a meal or visit with friends just to get some relief from the stench.

It’s embarrassing when friends and family refer to our home as the ‘stinky house.’”

Edwards said they have submitted many odour complaints to Metro Vancouver to no avail.

“Judging by the results, Metro and the City of Delta have taken no action. It really feels like a pointless exercise,” he said. “The stress from the lack of help and feeling of being constantly victimized in your own home is at times overwhelming.”

He also spoke of Linda’s additional health challenges. how she suffers from a neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s.

“With lower stress lev-

Following his statement, Wendy Betts, who along with Joss Rowlands is presenting the resident appellants’ case, asked Edwards if he feels confident in what he has heard from other witnesses that an enclosed facility would stop the odours?

there are no guarantees GFL can resolve the problem,” he said. “I don’t have any confidence we will see an end to the odour with this new facility.”

During the first 11 days of the hearing, GFL lawyer Gary Letcher presented numerous witnesses trying to prove to the panel that the hundreds of complaints made by residents are not based on scientific evidence and that the residents are not experts in determining whether the foul odours were coming

from GFL or other farming operations in South Delta.

Letcher argued the air quality permit is too restrictive, requires too many records and reports that are costly for GFL, and the company should be recognized for building a $37-million enclosed facility to address the odour issue.

Residents, on the other hand, want to see a stricter permit with better reporting and enforcement, no tonnage increases, better preservation of farmland,

safer farm roads and tighter monitoring of leachate that could be escaping from the facility.

During his cross-examination, Letcher questioned whether Edwards could distinguish if the odours were coming from GFL or were just agriculture smells.

He also asked Edwards if there was something GFL could do to help him keep an “open mind” that the new facility would reduce the odours.

“If the building goes ahead and there are no guarantees there will be zero odours, then that is not acceptable, so no, I don’t think there is anything,” stated Edwards.

The hearing is in recess until Wednesday, June 26 when cross-examination of Edwards will continue.

Further resident witnesses will follow, including their own scientific expert, from Wednesday to Friday of next week.

The hearing is scheduled to end June 28, but it’s likely additional dates will be necessary as Metro Vancouver still has to put forward its case.

A lifelong resident and long-time fire chief is being remembered for his dedication to Delta — and for being a real character.

Gordon Huff passed away May 30 at the age of HORMONE FREE / LOCALLY RAISED 97.

“He was a giant of a man who took no guff, commanded respect and CLANCY’S SUPPORTS that’s what made him such LOCAL BC VENDORS. a good fire chief. He was strict but he was also a great guy, a fun guy,” said Ian Paton, a South Delta farmer and current Delta South MLA. “It seems every kid who ALL REGULAR PRICED grew up on a farm volunChoose from chicken, beef or pork ITEMS IN STORE! teered for the fire department and worked at Fire (When You Show This Ad) Hall No. 4 that’s shut down now.

A third-generation farmer who at one point owned a pair of farms in East Ladner, Huff was a Fresh. Local. Convenient.

Second World War Royal Canadian Navy veteran, but he was also well known as a dedicated volunteer fireman and training officer for 35 years.

In 1953, Huff joined the local volunteer fire department and he and others were initially stationed in a converted chicken house in East Delta known as Hall No. 4. The firefighters were later located to a hall on Highway 10. Huff excelled as a firefighter and soon became chief.

Huff spoke proudly of the fact he supervised as many as 17 volunteers at any one time and that 14 of his team became full-time firefighters in Delta and neighbouring municipalities. He also brought on board Delta’s first female volunteer firefighter.

In 1988, after 35 years of service, Huff retired from his volunteer position, at the time the longest serving fire chief in Delta’s history. He was recognized by

Lifelong Delta resident Gordon Huff passed away May 30 at the age of 97. three levels of government for his outstanding service and was thanked by Delta’s mayor and council.

In a 2010 interview when the volunteer fire hall was officially closed, Huff, looking back, said he would have continued but was forced to hang up his helmet due to hearing problems.

“I wasn’t tired,” he said in an interview. “I would have loved to kept going.”

Deputy Chief Robin Cullen at the time said, “Gordon was like a dad to everyone.”

In 2015, Huff was recognized with a Municipal Long Service Award alongside Ken Davie, another former chief.

“Their legacy is still present today, as many of the firefighters that are still working in the department and throughout the Lower Mainland had the honour of being trained by these two great individuals.

They clearly demonstrated leadership, honesty and professionalism which made the citizens of Delta proud,” the city stated.

Huff received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.

Describing Huff as a gregarious and outgoing personality, a character much admired in the community, former mayor Doug Husband said, “Way back when when this was a little village, he was highly regarded as a fire chief, even though it was a volunteer fire department.

Everybody sort of stepped aside when Gordon arrived at a fire scene because they knew he was in charge. He was highly regarded as someone who looked after the community’s safety.”

Even after retirement, Huff remained an active member of the Delta Agricultural Society, where he served as president, and with the Ladner Legion. He also served on several boards, including Delta’s agricultural advisory committee. He regularly met current and retired farmers for social gatherings at the coffee shop at Boundary Bay Airport.

Huff was predeceased by his wife Patricia, son Alan and sister Anita. He is survived by daughter Joan and grandchildren Dana and Andrew. His family held a private service.

Const. Ken Usipiuk (right) helped raise more than $30,000 for the Ride2Survive at a 50-hour pole sit last weekend at the Tsawwassen Save-On-Foods.

Officer spends 50 hours in sky 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

He went high in the sky to raise a high amount.

Delta police Const. Ken Usipiuk was stationed 50 feet in the air last weekend outside the Save-OnFoods in Tsawwassen during a fundraising pole sit for 50 hours in support of the 15th annual Ride2Survive.

Thanks to fantastic support from the South Delta community, more than $33,000 was raised.

This is the ninth year Usipiuk has participated in Ride2Survice by providing the police escort from Kelowna to Delta. This year’s event is Saturday, June 22.

“I personally made a promise to the Ride2Survive family that I was going to get them $30,000 from the pole sit,” Usipiuk said. “We exceeded that. The kudos actually go to the good citizens who supported.

Cancer does not discriminate. It touches everyone — your family, friends and co-workers. If I’m healthy enough I can do my part and the community certainly did their’s by showing their support.”

During the event, which ran from last Friday at 1 p.m. until Sunday at 3 p.m., police Chief Neil Dubord joined Usipiuk up in the air, while volunteers served up a pancake breakfast on Saturday

morning and grilled up hot dogs and other refreshments throughout Saturday and Sunday.

“Quite a few of my co-workers came down below. That was humbling for me too that my co-workers come out and support me,” he said.

“Everyone is busy with work and their own families, so for them to come out and shake the fundraising can for an hour really means a lot. I don’t know of any other chief who would come and do this, so I really appreciate Chief Dubord’s support.”

The Ride2Survive is the Canadian Cancer Society’s largest single-day independent, all-volunteer fundraising event in Canada.

Osteoporosis causes bones to lose their strength, often becoming brittle or porous leading to potential fractures, disability and pain.

Christians being Jesus followers should be known as people who love everybody, even those we have nothing in common with.

When we invite unbelieving, misbehaving troublemakers to join us, they should be intrigued and interested to accept our invitation.

Jesus came to establish a new movement. It replaced the old behavioural, sacrifice-based systems we find in all ancient religions.

This should be our guide on how to once again become a movement where people want to be a part of it.

The Christian faith was attractive and seemingly irresistible.

How did that happen?

And could it happen again today? I believe so.

See Jesus stepped into history to introduce something new, not just to improve something old.

It’s the difference between renovating an old house and building a new house.

Jesus didn’t come to Jerusalem offering a new version of an old. Jesus was sent to introduce something entirely new.

Musical will come full circle Tsawwassen playwright Allen Desnoyers taking production all the way to Pier 21 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

Tsawwassen playwright Allen Desnoyers is hitting the road again next week with his historical musical Pier 21 in a place where the story began.

It was at Pier 21 in Halifax that immigrants and refugees fleeing Europe in 1939 arrived in Canada. It’s also where half a million soldiers departed from to fight in the Second World War and where war brides and a new generation of immigrants arrived.

After playing more than 100 shows in B.C. and Alberta since the production opened in late January under Desnoyers’ Canadiana Musical Theatre Company banner, it only seemed fitting it would move on to Halifax to complete the story’s journey.

“Before Halifax we are in Ottawa for a (Department of) Foreign Affairs conference on immigration, so it was a good fit for them, but I didn’t pitch it to them, they found out about the show and asked me to come,” he said.

Desnoyers said it took him about a year and a half to write.

“I have always found stories that I write from Canada’s history that lend itself to musical treatment,” he said. “This is the 10th or 12th musical that

SUBMITTED PHOTO

After more than 100 shows in B.C. and Alberta, Tsawwassen playwright Allen Desnoyers’ historical musical Pier 21 is now headed to Ottawa and Halifax.

I have written and I was looking for something with Celtic music, so being in the Maritimes, this is the perfect place and style for a musical like this. Then I was interested in a story about immigration, so all of this really inspired me to write this show.”

Pier 21 has played to thousands of students in schools as well as a few public shows. The Canadiana Musical

Theatre Company is dedicated to creating productions geared to younger student audiences to help them be immersed in musical and historical aspects of Canada.

The overall reception has been very positive, he said, as Pier 21 explores a historical topic that continues to be timely today.

“It seems like it is hitting a real nerve. It is a timely subject certainly with the

situation going on in the United States the past few years and the hostility towards people who are immigrants, so to see a show that is showing what it is like for people leaving a war-torn environment has been what one principal at a school described as a ‘lesson in compassion,’” he said. “I thought that’s a beautiful thing to say. In terms of the music and entertainment of the

show, that has been greatly received.

“We have found that people have been profoundly moved. When you start exploring the level of suffering that some people have gone through in the world it is hard to not get caught up in those kinds of stories and you start to recognize the sheer humanity you have with people even if they come from a different country.”

Soap Box Derby racers to speed down 6th Avenue IAN JACQUES

Young racers will speed down 6th Avenue in Tsawwassen this Saturday in the fourth annual Soap Box Derby.

Presented by the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen and the City of Delta, the June 22 event will see three racers head down the hill at a time beginning at 11 a.m.

“There will be more than 40 racers between the ages of nine and 12,” said Rotarian Mitch Romano.

“In addition to the racers, there will be a lot of local businesses setting up information tents, food and an ice cream truck and other fun things for the kids to enjoy. The idea

More than 40 youngsters will race down Tsawwassen’s 6th Avenue in the fourth annual Soap Box Derby this Saturday. is to have an event for the whole family.”

Following the racing, awards will be handed out, including for best dressed racer and best dressed cart.

Romano said the event serves as a good kickoff for summer in South Delta.

“All the carts are homemade and sponsored by local businesses, so this is

truly a community-wide event,” he said.

The night before, on Friday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Tsawwassen SaveOn-Foods parking lot, the Delta Police Foundation is

hosting a show n’ shine in support of the event.

All the soap box cars will be on display and the public will get a chance to meet the young drivers and the builders.

Ice cream and ice cream floats will be served with donations going to the Delta Police Foundation.

Cars will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges.

“The Delta Police Foundation supports the work of the Delta Police Department and their commitment to youth in our community,” said foundation chair Rod Binder. “This is another opportunity to encourage our youth to be part of the community and also to interact with the DPD.”

Major University seeks participants for national hearing study.

Connect Hearing and 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 The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-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 this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Film students’ work to be showcased at gala 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 year of hard work and dedication to their chosen craft will be unveiled for all to see as the Delta Film Academy presents its fourth annual Gala Showcase tomorrow night in Tsawwassen.

Set for 6:30 p.m. at South Delta Secondary’s Equinox Theatre, the evening will showcase the work from more than 60 high school students enrolled in the film acting, production and visual effects academies.

Admission is by donation at the door.

Academy teacher coordinator Jennifer McKee hopes to pack the theatre.

“It’s all about showcasing the students and their work,” she said. “It’s a red carpet event, the kids get all dressed up and show off their work that they have created throughout the year. We will also hand out some year-end awards.

It all has a real film festival feel.”

McKee said some 40 films will be showcased from 60-second shorts to a 20-minute feature encompassing different genres, styles and filmmaking techniques.

“The first films are the 60-second voiceover thematic films,” she said.

“These are all based on our themes and values for the academy, which are creativity, trust, community, challenge and focus. Our feature film is Best Year Yet, which is a collaborative effort and a film written by myself and fellow teacher coordinator Braden Saucy.”

McKee said this year’s

Delta Film Academy students are busy putting the final touches on their films which will be shown to the public for the first time at the fourth annual Gala Showcase on Friday night at the Equinox Theatre. academy classes are the largest yet.

“The dedication of this program and what we have shaped in our value system has created stronger students who are extremely dedicated to growing in their craft,” she said. “This group has been so gung ho from the very beginning and their work shows. It’s some impressive work.

“Some of the kids are a little nervous about the gala, but I think this is a very important part of learning where you can showcase and put a stamp on your work.”

Jude Ophoff, who is in his second year of the academy program, serves as director for Best Year Yet and an original work called Time’s Up. “My experience has been great. I have learned a lot from having a handson experience,” he said.

“My family comes from a

film background, so I’ve been immersed in this before, but the academy experience touches on every aspect of film and what it’s like being on an actual set.”

South Korean international student Seoyun Choi is a camera operator and editor for Best Year Yet. She said she loves the academy for its wellrounded experience and has tried to immerse herself in every aspect in her first year in the program.

“I love to be in the crew and make something as a group,” said Choi.

Actor Michael Kirk from Delta Secondary plays the lead in Best Year Yet. He called his first year at the academy “fantastic.”

“From day one we were thrown into scene work and I loved that,” he said.

“Getting to work with everyone on collaborative projects is very rewarding.

We are like a family.”

Greens screening environmental films

The Delta South Riding Association of the BC Greens will be hosting a summer series of films at Ladner United Church.

“We’ve lined up some really entertaining and inspiring new films by local filmmakers,” says riding association president Larry Colero. “Our first documentary, The Radicals, uses breathtaking cinematography to tell the story of four B.C.

snowboarders and surfers driven to protect the natural environments where they play. The film was sold out at festivals last winter.”

Colero describes their second film, Toad People, as a “touchingly sweet yet infuriating story about humans, owls and amphibians in Chilliwack, and the inspired community-led movement to save an endangered species.”

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the films start at 7 p.m. at Ladner United Church, 4960-48th Ave. The Radicals will screen on June 22 and Toad People will follow on July 6.

Anyone can just drop in and admission is by donation. Half of all proceeds go to the filmmakers.

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.

The Wexford and Myrtle’s team up again for hotdog fundraiser On Saturday, June 22 Myrtle’s Famous Hot Dogs are back for one day only at The Wexford seniors community in Tsawwassen to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. It’s the third year for this unique partnership; last summer’s event saw 450 hot dogs fly off the grill and raised $4,200 for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. This year the goal is to raise $6,000.

John Meier, who owned and operated Myrtle’s Famous Hot Dogs cart for five years at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall, is confident his grandma Myrtle, who he named the cart for, would be proud.

“She would be delighted and it would have meant a lot to her,” says Meier, fondly remembering the woman who introduced him to the famous Coney Island hot dog.

The two were close, but at the age of 77, Myrtle died of Alzheimer’s.

“Dementia and Alzheimer’s touch everyone — we all have a friend,

I Love Ladner

Merchants give back through popular events From market to car/quilt show to Christmas, businesses make living in Ladner a lot of fun

FILE PHOTO

Ladner Business Association president Jill McKnight (right) says merchants and volunteers from the business community continue to support a variety of events in Ladner.

Whole Body Vibration

The Ladner Business Association prides itself on giving back to the community.

Its merchants and volunteers do this by way of many events and activities that are either run by the LBA or supported by its various members. These popular events bring the community together and help contribute to why we all love Ladner.

Supported by many local merchants, the Ladner Village Market kicked off its 23rd season earlier this month by attracting thousands, both locals and visitors, to 48th Avenue. Over 160 artisan vendors set up shop in the village to sell everything from fresh produce and baked goods to crafts, jewelry, flowers and more.

Participating local merchants add to the mix that also includes live entertainment, food trucks and children’s activities.

The market runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine, on seven Sundays throughout the summer.

Upcoming dates are: June 23, July 14 and 28, Aug. 11 and 25, and Sept. 8 On Saturday, June 22, Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust will hold its Summer Solstice barbecue, while on Canada Day, Emma Lea Farms is hosting a fundraiser for Reach Child and Youth Development Society.

The LBA’s signature summer event is the hugely popular Ladner Village Quilt Walk and Car Show, which will be held on Sunday, Aug. 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Last year the business association welcomed 400 cars and 180 quilts and anticipates a similar turnout this year. Participants can register their cars and quilts through info@ladnerbusiness.com.

also known as Jiggle Machine!

How it works:

Scientifically Proven Benefits: - Improve circulation - Strengthen core muscles and build lean muscle mass - Build bone density - Burn calories and lose weight - Reduce back pain - Combat arthritis - Reduce cellulite - Improve flexibility, mobility and balance - Recover from injury faster

A vibration platform is a resistance machine providing an outcome similar to ‘working out’ with free weights. The vibration platform forces your body to have involuntary muscle contractions and depending on the speed and frequency chosen, you can have thousands of muscle contractions per minute.

This muscle activity burns calories and stimulates blood and oxygen flow through your body.

West Coast Seeds has taken root in Ladner Company not only has store on Elliott Street but warehouse and trial facility on 34B Avenue

West Coast Seeds has its roots firmly planted in Ladner.

Many in the community may just think of West Coast Seeds and its retail location on Elliott Street in Ladner Village, however, it has a far larger operation, including a thriving direct to consumer on-line website and a vast network of wholesale customers.

It has grown significantly in the last five years and is already bursting at the seams at its warehouse and trial facility on 34B Avenue in Ladner.

“We operate based on the concept of Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for repairing the world),” said director of finance Aaron Saks. “Our annual tomato seedling sale allows us to raise money for local charity organizations. Good corporate citizenship is an essential motivation at

Seed donations also support numerous local educational and food bank projects, including; Hawthorne Elementary, Chestermere Food Bank outside Calgary, the Richmond Sharing Farm, the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific, the Tsawwassen First Nation Farm School, Victory Gardens and many others.

“Our own trial grounds here at the West Coast Seeds farm produced over 4,700 pounds of produce that was distributed among local communitybased food banks,” said Saks. “The spirit of giving is important to us and helps to unite us as a team.”

West Coast Seeds also works with a variety of farms in the area, including Fraserland Farms which leases some property to produce organic

products.

West Coast Seeds also works with Emma Lea Farms and Westham Island Herb Farm within the Pacific North Direct Farm Market Association and will once again support local farmers in the agriculture barn at this summer’s PNE in Vancouver.

On Sunday, June 23, West Coast Seeds is one of the stops on the South Delta Garden Club’s self-guided garden tour.

Garden enthusiasts will be able to tour is warehouse and garden facility and even stop and have a picnic.

From an educational perspective, West Coast Seeds works with Kwantlen Polytechnic University and its farm school in Delta, providing donations, support for seed labs and collabora-

tion on seed trials.

Contributing to the local workforce is also key for West Coast Seeds, which employs 21 full-time staff in Delta (six at the Elliott Street store and 15 at the warehouse on 34B Avenue).

Sales rep Rebecca Kouwenhoven grew up in Ladner and now lives in Tsawwassen. She’s been with the company for just over a year and said loves living and working locally.

“I started as a seasonal employee. It was really inspiring. I was picking in the warehouse and walking past all the seed packets and it felt like there were little packets of opportunity and so much life and abundance everywhere,” she said.

“I asked if there were any year round positions and I got the job. It feels great being a part of the community and when we see the photos of the other organizations who have grown food from our seeds it makes me want to try growing different things as well. It’s a wonderful company to be a part of.”

Accountant Torey Klein said he was looking to get away from a commute, work closer to home and family. West Coast Seeds ended up being the perfect fit.

“It’s a great local company,” he said. “Our kids go to school just around the corner. It’s wonderful to be so close to home and do what I love doing. The fact I was able to get into such a neat company that puts such an onus on giving back is really wonderful to be a part of.”

Reach has settled into new home in Ladner

Community has embraced society that’s been helping kids reach their potential for 60 years Reach Child and Youth Development Society is a non-profit society that has been serving Delta since 1959.

The organization’s mission is to provide timely, accessible and familycentered community programs and services for the optimal development of children and youth.

Reach offers multiple programs and workshops to the Delta, Surrey and Langley areas, currently serving in excess of 1,000 families with children who have developmental needs per year.

Reach has been settled in its new home at the Lois E. Jackson Kinsmen Centre for Children at 5050-47th Ave. in Ladner for just over a year.

In all, 107 volunteers help out at Reach, many of whom man the social enterprise Finds Exchange that is an excellent source for used children’s clothes, toys, books and equipment right inside the children’s centre.

The Reach playground was enlarged in a recent development and opened just in time for Ladner Pioneer May Days.

Children immediately enjoyed the giant rope web, tree fort with slides and expanded space.

Reach development manager Kristin Bibbs secured funds for the new addition.

“We are excited to bring this addition to the playground to be enjoyed by the children of Reach and all those in our wonderful community,” said Bibbs.

Strong community involvement with Reach

McDonald’s owner/ operator Steve Krawchuk has raised funds for Reach for 11 consecutive years.

This year, two giant TVs were raffled off to augment the fundraising activities.

At the beginning of June, local businesses sponsored and donated prizes to support the Shining Lights Gala held at Tsawwassen Springs.

Sponsors, donors, guests and volunteers were instrumental in the success of the seventh annual event and significant awareness was raised.

This summer, Ladner’s Links at Hampton Cove will host a fundraising golf tournament, with accompanying free children’s play and activity area on Aug. 17. Watch for information at www.hamptoncoveopen.ca.

Funding received at Reach events is used to

remove families from program waitlists and for program expansion.

During 2018/19, counselling, Delta Connex and Choices received this funding to expand service.

Reach is also planning on enhancing the Positive Behavioural Support program and offering further diagnosis support to families.

Facility upgrades in Reach North Delta for preschool are in the works and Reach Play & Learn Centre will be improved to serve youth in the community.

Long-term plans are to provide designated program space in Surrey.

Reach aims to provide some certainty to the futures of children with special needs in our communities whether they are here in Ladner or further afield.

Two decades of guide dogs

Ladner-based BC & Alberta Guide Dogs has been professionally training dogs to assist persons with disabilities for more than two decades.

Beginning as B.C’s first guide dog school in 1996, BC & Alberta Guide Dogs has continued to grow and amalgamate with like-minded organizations across Western Canada.

The organization was initially founded for individuals who were visuallyimpaired, however an ever-expanding mandate led to the inclusion of support dogs for children with profound autism and service dogs for military and police veterans living with post-traumatic stress.

The head office is located in Ladner, although the organization serves individuals and families throughout both prov-

inces.

“We love our neighbours. Many of our volunteer puppy trainers, boarding homes for the dogs in advanced training and caretakers of our breeding dogs are located in the local community,” says CEO Bill Thornton. “Quite simply, we couldn’t do the work we do without them.”

Dogs are provided, along with training and aftercare support, at no cost to families for the working life of the dog, which is typically eight years. With each certified dog costing $35,000, this means that BC & Alberta Guide Dogs relies on its volunteers and donations to provide these essential services.

Much of the organization’s funding comes from individual and corporate donations, legacy gifts,

foundations and its annual repertoire of fundraising events such as the Ties & Tails Charity Auction and Gala, Trivia Night, and the Golf for Guide Dogs tournament (in its 22nd year), which is taking place on Aug. 23 at the Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club in Richmond. Golfer registration is available at www. bcandalbertaguidedogs. com.

BC & Alberta Guide Dogs is also holding its first-ever Motorcycle Poker Run fundraiser on Sept.

1 starting at the Ladner Legion.

If you’re unable to attend the events, there are plenty of other ways to give. Visit the website or call 604-940-4506 to learn about puppy sponsorship options, make a donation, or find out ways to volunteer.

School is no match for the possibilities of summer

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

I remember it still. Right about now, back in the day, I would have skipped off to school — or per-

haps even danced my way there.

Suffice to say, there was a bounce in my step. There always was at this time of year, when the countdown was clearly on.

The teachers, poor dears, would have abandoned all thoughts of arithmetic and spelling by mid-June and allowed us extra playground time.

Why even bother with multiplication drills when the sunshine was out and hopscotch was calling?

Sports days replaced cursive writing exercises.

Bicycle decorating erased all thoughts of readers, workbooks and pencil crayons.

There was no point in going through the schoolday motions.

We were giddy with summer fever. Our mothers would have long ago packed away the heavy coats and rubber boots, and sent us off wearing shorts and sandals.

Like the teachers, they would have gingerly eased back on the weekday routine and allowed us one more game of kick

the can before bedtime.

The sensible Mondayto-Friday meals — threeitem assemblies that included meat, potato and veg — would have been occasionally sidelined at this time of year, replaced by more typical Saturday offerings. Macaroni and cheese, say, perhaps with lemonade. Our moms could be wild that way.

Oh, but we were reeling with anticipation. It mattered little that many of us did not have cottages with private docks on which to laze. Few of my friends

would have been poised to jump on a plane to head somewhere exotic.

I knew no one with a swimming pool.

But we had all that really mattered.

In a manner of days, we would get out of bed whenever the heck we felt like it — earlier rather than later so we could make the most of the day. We would pad barefoot into the kitchen in search of cereal and orange juice, then run next door or across the street to round up the neighbourhood pals.

Oh, what would it be? A game of hide and seek? A walk to the park to throw pebbles in the pond? A stroll to the corner store to buy penny candy?

Would we make a clubhouse beneath someone’s back porch and create a secret language?

The possibilities were as vast as our imaginations, and we knew that as we sat in our desks with only days to go.

Right about now, we could feel and hear and taste it. We were standing on the edge of summer.

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Q: Is it possible for me to see what my smile

QUESTION

will look like before I commit to the treatment?

I’m concerned that wearing hearing aids will make me stand out. Is there a way to avoid this?

ANSWER

A: ABSOLUTELY! You can TEST DRIVE YOUR SMILE using a technology

called Digital Smile design. We take a 3D scan of your teeth using our Dr. Raj Dhiman Primescan software and we take pictures and videos as well as a face scan.

604-946-9588 We then send these records to a planning center in Madrid where there are several specialists that look at your pictures,videos,and scans and do a treatment plan.They send us back the files and we 3D print a mock up shell to place over top of your existing teeth.We then take pictures and videos and show you exactly what you will look like with your new smile.We do this at no cost to you and no commitment to any treatment. Everything is done digitally so it is quick, painless and we can customize the smile design for you.

It’s normal to be concerned about how your appearance may be affected by the addition of hearing aids. However, compensating for a hearing loss by asking people to repeat themselves, inappropriately responding to people (or not responding at all), or even withdrawing from social situations is more obvious than wearing hearing aids!

Are some banknotes no longer going to be legal tender?

ANSWER: The Canadian Government has a section in the new budget regarding Canadian banknotes.

Certain banknote denominations are no longer legal tender. This has now happened.

If you go onto the Bank of Canada website www.bankofcanada.ca you will see that the $1, $2, $25, $500.00 and $1,000.00 are no longer legal tender.

This means you are unable to spend them as money.You are still able to deposit them into your bank account for now. The ability to deposit them may be short lived because of how deep in debt Canada is.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

Most countries around the world first make their notes no longer legal tender and then they demonetize them. In the next year Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland will demonetizing most if not all of their banknotes.

Anyone holding them after the short time period will be out of luck and money.

What steps need to be taken to paint exterior concrete ?

ANSWER:

- Post immediate dentures - Tooth loss - Weight loss - Bone loss in the upper and lower jaw - Sickness or disease - General physiological aging

Hoil Kim Denturist / Dental Technician

Check the weather forecast to ensure you have 2-3 dry days in a row before painting outdoor concrete. You’ll need to give the paint ample time to dry in between each coat.

You are now ready to turn that drab grey concrete into something clean and vibrant.

Come see our paint experts and let us help you get the right products for your painting project.

The bite position, existing teeth and acrylic base must be in good condition and not worn or stained to provide a reline procedure. An impression of your oral tissue is taken inside your denture to provide a working model. New acrylic base material is added to your denture to produce a correct fit.

Reline may resolve your problem but not all situations will require a reline or a new denture. Come in for a free consultation and we can d tthe circumstances involved in ill-fitting, loose or help you understand broken dentures.

Reline is necessary when bone and tissue change due to shrinkage.

Here are common reasons for reline.

Clean the concrete surface with soap and warm water, removing any old paint. First, sweep away any surface leaves, debris, and dirt. Then remove any existing paint or gunk using a power washer or scraper and wire brush. You want the surface to be as clean and bare as possible for the best coating of paint later on.

Apply concrete patch to fix any major defects such as cracks, gouges or uneven surfaces. You want the concrete to be as smooth and regular as possible.

Self-care – Everyone needs a break from the stress of full-time caregiving and your personal wellness needs to be considered equally.

QUESTION: WHEN IS RELINE NECESSARY AND HOW IS IT DONE?

Exterior concrete surfaces do not have to remain a flat, boring shade of gray. Concrete can be made to look interesting and beautiful by applying a few coats of paint.

Painting concrete is a simple and inexpensive task that can be completed by anyone with following some simple instructions. In order to successfully paint concrete or other masonry surfaces you must clean and prep the area properly, apply an appropriate paint, and allow adequate time for the paint to cure.

Remove dense areas of oil or grease with tri-sodium phosphate (TSP) to ensure that the paint doesn’t discolor later. Simply mix it with water in the ratio illustrated on the packaging and wash away any oil stains, rinsing the cleaner off when you’re done.

Allow the concrete surface to dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.

ARE THE 30 YEAR AMORTIZATIONS A THING OF THE PAST?

ANSWER:

ANSWER: Not if you have at least 20% down. The 25 year amortizations are only applicable for those homebuyers who have less than 20% down of the purchase price.

If you are buying or refinancing and there is at least a 20% equity portion in your home, a 30 year amortization is available to you!

Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268

With water mains, it’s not a question of if; it’s a question of when it’s going to leak. If your house was built in the 70’s it’s almost certain that your water main was run in copper. Over time the copper, buried in soil, will break down and deteriorate. Water mains often become kinked or damaged from tree roots putting pressure on them. At some point in the future, you are going to spring a leak. Depending on your landscaping, the replacement will involve digging by hand or by machine, a minimum of 18” deep, from the city supplied, water service valve, up to the connection point in your home.

An option to digging is to do a water-main pull, (or Trenchless Water Main). This involves fishing a cable through the existing water line and connecting the other end to a winch. This will remove the old line and install the new line at the same time. It is much less intrusive and much less expensive. The limitation to this technique is that if you wait until the line breaks, it may be kinked, which can make it impossible to fish a cable through and you could be forced to dig.

Most plumbers these days use plastic water service piping to replace water mains due to the high cost of copper. As a good practice, we include a new pressure reducing valve, (PRV) and shut-off valve with any water main install. If you are planning a driveway replacement or re-landscaping the yard, don’t forget your water main. It will save you a headache down the road.

Give us a call and we will set you up with a free estimate.

Saturday, June 15 saw over 230 runners and walkers take part in the 38th Annual Jog for A Jug in the beautiful seaside community of Point Roberts.

Over $3,000 was raised for Deltassist.

“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, now in their new location in the Town Centre Mall in Tsawwassen.

“The RunInn is a big believer in supporting the local community and when we first got involved with Jog for a Jug, all proceeds went to The Hannah’s Heroes Foundation, a local charity helping kids battle brain stem cancer.

Since then we have helped out Kidsport (Delta) and this year we were proud to have raised over $3,000 for Deltassist. Mark Schoeffel of HollisWealth came on board this year as a presenting sponsor and donated $2,000 towards the race to give us a great jumpstart”.

Jog for a Jug is an 11.2 km fun run or walk through Point Roberts with the start and finish at Kiniski’s Reef Tavern. The post-race party and BBQ was held at Kiniski’s with great music and prizes for race finishers.

Kiniski’s is open to all ages so families joined in to enjoy the event and beautiful setting.

First male and female overall were both won by local runners. Bertrand LeCorre was the first male overall with a time of 41:10 and Courtney McEwan secured the women’s overall category with a time of 45:34.

A great big thank you to all of the volunteers who help out with this event.

See you next year.

Since joining the Ladner Pioneers four games ago, 24-year-old Ontario native Zach Herreweyers has 23 points and scored five goals in last Thursday’s key win over Coquitlam.

Ladner Pioneers are feeding their West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association opponents a steady diet of Ontario talent as they try to work their way back to the President’s Cup national championships for a third consecutive year.

Former National Lacrosse League star Luke Wiles made his Pioneers’ debut Saturday night, scoring four times in Ladner’s 14-8 road win over the Royal City Capitals. The 36-year-old Orilla native amassed 454 points in 119 NLL games over nine seasons. He last played in B.C. for the Victoria Shamrocks in 2009, piling up 75 points in 16 WLA games. The former Minto Cup MVP will play three more times for the Pioneers before re-joining the club for the playoffs.

Wiles’ arrival comes after the club welcomed Zach Herreweyers two weeks ago. The 24-year-old London Ont. native has 23 points in four games with Ladner, including five goals in Thursday’s key 13-9 win over third place Coquitlam.

He is fresh off his National Lacrosse League season with the runner-up Buffalo Bandits and has played in B.C. before with the WLA Salmonbellies. The high-scoring lefty also enjoyed a decorated collegiate career in the field version of the game with Loyola University.

Delta Junior “A” Islanders alumni and now Alberta resident Cody Hawkins is expected to be in uniform this week. Former Calgary

Roughnecks standout and Ladner native Andrew McBride was back on his hometown floor in the win over Coquitlam in what was likely just a one-game appearance.

The club is also looking to add two or three more key signings prior to the July 1 roster deadline.

Former Calgary Roughnecks standout and Ladner native Andrew McBride was playing for his hometown team last week.

There are few intangibles behind the Pioneers’ aggressive recruiting.

They have dedicated the season to the memory of former player Thomas Haydon who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last October at the age of 36. The Pioneers would like nothing more than to win the nationals in his hon-

our for the first time since 2004 when Haydon was a team member.

They are also building on their experience of attending the past two national championships and knowing what is needed to contend for the title.

“Winning BCs is great but really it means absolutely nothing,” said Ladner head coach Ross Frehlick. “Winning the President’s Cup is what we are striving for. We knew going in to the season of what we have learned last two years and that’s we need to be better on offence. I think we are getting there.”

Before making travel plans to Montreal in August, the Pioneers have plenty of work ahead of them including a pivotal tilt last night in Nanaimo.

The defending WCSLA champions (8-21) handed the 9-1-0 Pioneers their only loss last month in Ladner. A win would put the Pioneers back in control of their own destiny with another return trip to the Island on July 13 to close out league play.

With the league now providing $20,000 to cover travel costs, teams no longer have to make an early commitment to attend nationals and the WCSLA champion will for certain be heading east.

That’s why the Pioneers are loading up their war chest to get their season beyond B.C. Boxla Bits…

Veterans Tyler Kirby (54) and Ryan Keith (42) sit first and third respectively in league scoring. The Pioneers host Royal City on Thursday at 8 p.m.

The award is presented to a Delta Lacrosse player who best exemplifies some of Haydon’s admirable qualities including hard work, loyalty, courage, and respect.

The selection committee, consisted of Haydon’s closest friends that all contributed to the $2,500 scholarship that comes with the award. They discussed Kirk’s candidacy with the Islanders coaching staff, club executive, his previous coaches and a former high school teacher.

Kirk, who is studying at Simon Fraser University, also received a custom axe, reflecting Haydon’s career as a firefighter. The 21-year-old defender is in his final season at the junior level.

Plenty of Delta Pacers flavour at inaugural Battle of the Badges

If you are interested in becoming a carrier please call 604.946.4451

Take Richmond’s Dolphin Classic atmosphere into a world class facility and that was the vibe of the inaugural Battle of the Badges Basketball Tournament.

The three-day event wrapped up on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval and certainly met the organizers’ expectations and then some. A combined 12 teams competed in the Open and Masters Divisions, including from five different U.S. states, along with Trinidad and Tobago.

All players work in law enforcement, as firefighters or in the military and it was evident many had played at the collegiate level.

The Canadian event was created by the Anderson family and served as a fundraiser for the Duncan Anderson Memorial Scholarship Fund — the longtime Delta Pacers basketball coach who spent much of his life making a difference with the basketball programs at the schools he worked at as a teacher.

His eldest son and DSS grad John is a youth corrections officer who not only organized the tournament but helped the Lower Mainland-based Axes and Arms capture the over 40s Masters Division with a win against the Atlanta-based Dekalb Knights.

“I’m part of this Battle of the Badges Facebook group and just threw it out there to see if anyone wanted to come,” explained John.

Permit for Pesticide Use Permit No. 402-0675-19/22

DSS grad Navi Sekhon earned MVP honours in the Masters Division at the inaugural Battle of the Badges at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

“We have also developed a lot of connections over the last 10 years by travelling to tournaments. We met a lot of American teams and developed friendships.”

John leaned heavily on the help of his brother James and sisters Kathleen and Sarah to pull it off. He was also very grateful for the work of Richmond Sport Hosting as well.

“They really helped us get our feet on the ground. They hooked us up with volunteers and they were a big help. It was like a Dolphin Park atmosphere (including a beer garden and in-game announcer).

A shout out to (Dolphin founders)

Bira (Bindra) and Bruce (Watson) for that.”

Anderson says the tournament will be back in 2020 and likely be held every other year beyond that so it doesn’t coincide with the World Police and Fire Games. The hope is the tournament proceeds will allow multiple scholarships to be awarded to high school graduates.

At the buzzer…

Former Delta Pacer star Navi Sekhon still showed he can be lethal from three-three-point range, earning MVP honours for Axes and Arms in the Masters title game. He is a Burnaby firefighter.

Proposed Spartina Treatment Areas Under PUP No. 402-0675-19/22 (Proposed Pesticide Use Permit Boundary) Known Invasive Spartina Locations

A pesticide use permit has been issued for the purpose of eradicating invasive intertidal cordgrasses (Spartina spp.), which are designated as Provincial Noxious Weeds under B.C.’s Weed Control Act. Treatment areas will be restricted to infestations of Spartina on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudflats (at low tide) located in Boundary Bay, Robert’s Bank and Burrard Inlet. However, treatment may expand over the course of the permit period to include sites at Sturgeon Bank and Sea Island. The total area proposed for this herbicide treatment is a maximum of 10 hectares annually, spread across approximately 12,332 coastal hectares.

Vancouver

Pesticide applications will consist only of the herbicide product called Habitat (active ingredient: imazapyr) PCP #30841, which will be applied to selected sites using handheld spray bottles, backpack sprayers or mounted sprayers. Pesticide applications will complement existing and ongoing mechanical removal methods.

This is the third application for a pesticide use permit submitted by the provincial government for pesticide use on Spartina spp. in this region. The previous six years of herbicide treatments have shown a significant decreasing trend in the overall abundance and distribution of these noxious weeds. Proposed duration of this pesticide use is from June 26, 2019 to May 31, 2022.

A copy of the Pesticide Use Permit and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be viewed online at: http://ow.ly/cQgu30oTEiJ or by contacting the applicant, Becky Brown at: 250 751-7177.

For more information on the permitted uses in this Pesticide Use Permit please contact the permit holder listed above.

Please note: Within the identified treatment area, herbicide treatments are proposed to occur at select sites where mechanical removal efforts have not proven viable for the duration of this permit, June 26, 2019 to May 31, 2022.

EMMA VAN MOL/FIELD HOCKEY CANADA

Tsawwassen’s Sara McManus in action for Canada against Scotland last month.

McManus&TeamCanadainSpain

Following a brief return home, Tsawwassen’s Sara McManus and the rest of the national women’s field hockey team are in Spain for the FIH Hockey Series Finals — the second stage of the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifying process.

Canada is part of the eight-country tournament that also includes Belarus, Spain, Italy, Namibia, South Africa, Thailand and Wales. The top two teams will advance to the next stage that will feature two qualification matches. Ranked 21st in the world, the Canadians spent the past several months based in Belgium where they faced a steady diet of tough European competition.

McManus, Canada’s third most deco-

rated player with 170 international caps to her credit, was also playing for a Belgium pro team.

A week-long training camp took place in Victoria before heading back overseas again. With limited federal funding, the team had a successful fundraising drive that generated over $75,000 to help cover costs of the Spain trip.

McManus, 25, helped Canada win bronze at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto and also was a member of dominant run at UBC that won national titles in 2012-13.

Canada opens against No. 7 Spain, followed by two more pool games against Namibia (June 21) and Belarus (June 22).

OBITUARIES

With broken hearts, the family of Julian Davis sadly announces his passing on June 11, 2019. Jules leaves behind his loving wife, Sheila, and three adoring children; Ryan (25), Matthew (23), and Sarah (21) - all of whom will miss him dearly. He maintained a very close relationship with his sister Naomi (Rich) their children (Tom, Marni and Ellie) and his brother, Mark (Hilary) who reside in England and Wales, respectively.

Jules was born to John and Mifanwy Davis, in Banbury, England and immigrated to Canada at the young age of 23. He settled in the Vancouver area in 1973, and years later in 1991, he met his wife Sheila on a blind date orchestrated by a mutual friend. On May 22, 1993, they were married and just 1 year and 1 day later, they welcomed their first child, Ryan. Matthew followed 18 months later and Sarah arrived in March of 1998. With 3 children under 4 years of age, they invested in their first TV! After graduating from Art College in London, Jules worked a variety of positions in ad agencies, eventually becoming a highly respected Production Director in Vancouver. Following his retirement, in 2016, Jules pursued his many passions including golf, travel, gardening and retreats to their Palm Desert home. Above all else though, he valued the company of his family and friends.

Jules lived a full, rich and happy life. He was a kind and gentle man with a love for music and a cold beer. His greatest joy was his family and he was so proud of each one of his children. He was a delight to be around, and everybody knew him as an incredibly supportive, caring, and loving man. He touched the lives of his friends, his family, and towards the end of his life, even the nurses and doctors who cared for him, as he faced his battles with courage and grace.

DUNSTAN, Elizabeth (Betty) Louise (née MacVean) February 12, 1939 - June 13, 2019 Betty passed away at Royal Columbian Hospital on Thursday, June 13th, 2019 at the age of 80.

Beloved wife of Ben for 57 years. Loving mother of Herb (Sharon), Ron, and Diana (Todd). Cherished grandmother of Sydney, Nolan, Dana, Quinn, Hope, Noah and Sam. Betty will be greatly missed by all of her extended family and friends.

Betty had a passion for gardening, baseball, Jeopardy (tv show), travel and especially her grandchildren. She was kind and sweet, which endeared her to everyone who knew her, and she always saw to the needs of others before thinking of herself. She will be greatly missed by all of her extended family and wide circle of friends.

A Celebration of Betty’s Life has taken place.

In memory of Betty, donations made to the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C., would be greatly appreciated.

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

A service will be held in his honour and memory at 2 pm on June 21, at Tsawwassen United Church (693 53 St, Delta, BC), followed - at 3 pm by a celebration of life at his second home, Beach Grove Golf Club (5946 12 Ave, Delta, BC).

In lieu of flowers, we ask that all those inclined make a donation to bethematch.org, or register as a potential donor in honour of Jules’ memory. We deeply appreciate the support, and look forward to seeing you at his service.

DOWLER, Margaret October 23rd, 1923 - June 13th, 2019 Margaret passed away peacefully at Delta Hospital.

She was predeceased by husband Ernest Dowler, 2003. Survived by her loving son David (Pat), grandson Greg (Leslie), great grandchildren Sarah and Miles. The family would like to thank the staff at the Waterford for their kind and caring support over the last eleven years. We would also like to thank Doctor Stewart Noble for his compassionate and thoughtful care of Margaret. No service by request.

TERPSMA, Dorothy Grayce (née Mack) April 11, 1927 - June 12, 2019 Grayce passed away on June 12, 2019, close to her family and farm community in Ladner BC. Determined and vibrant to the end, Grayce will be missed by many but especially her family: son David (Colleen); daughter Betsy Akke (John Palmeter); grandson David Terpsma (Ashley and great-grandson Theo); and granddaughter Christine Fegyverneki (James); in addition to numerous Dutch nieces and nephews (especially Akke and Roel deJong).

Grayce was born April 11, 1927, as the only child of Stanley and Bessie Mack (née Gunn). She lived her entire life in the Lower Mainland, first in Burquitlam and New Westminster, and then relocating to Delta in 1951 to teach at Ladner Elementary School.

While teaching and living in the family summer home at Boundary Bay, Grayce met the love of her life: a handsome Dutch immigrant named Ernie Terpsma (predeceased in 2013). There was a family joke that she was waiting for him when he arrived off the boat, while in reality he actually flew to Canada and had been working at Del Eden farm in Ladner for sometime before they met in Point Roberts.

From their first date onward, the pair were inseparable. After marrying in 1954, their children David and Betsy were born and they built a new home at Boundary Bay. The young Terpsma family purchased a farm in East Delta in 1964 to pursue Ernie’s dream of dairy farming. They started out with a mixed farm; however, barns were soon built to facilitate the pinnacle of Ernie’s vision: a herd of registered Holstein-Friesian dairy cows.

He will always be remembered for who he was: a loving husband, a devoted father and a true friend.

During this time Grayce was an attentive mother, gardener, farm manager, substitute teacher, active community member, 4-H leader, and treasurer of St. Stephen’s United Church. The coffee pot was always on, and there was a daily whirlwind of people, pets and endless projects at the farm.

After their son David took over the dairy, Grayce and Ernie changed gears and embrace retirement by relocating to Langley in 1988. They enjoyed friends, Holstein Canada meetings, fishing, time away in their RV and multiple trips to New Zealand, Europe and Hawaii.

Grayce will be remembered for her talent for handiwork including crocheting, knitting, needlework and her unparalleled memory and story telling ability. Grayce cultivated friends wherever she went, and managed to stay in touch in the early days by letter, and later by phone and Skype.

The family wishes to extend a special thanks to Cheryl Sellers, who was Grayce’s ‘angel’ for the past 4+ years and to the caring staff at Irene Thomas Hospice.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Delta Hospital Foundation or Delta Hospice.

A Remembrance Tea will be held at a later date.

GARDNER, Susan (née McConaghy) Sue passed away peacefully at her home in Tsawwassen on June 11, 2019, with her children by her side. She was predeceased by her loving husband Jack in 2012. Sue is remembered with love by her daughter Amber (Dave) and her son Ethan (both from her first marriage to Tim McBride); her brother Art (Audrey and Ryan); her step-father Ken Kirkland; and all of her relatives by marriage on the Gardner side of the family.

Sue was born April 23, 1960 in Vancouver to Chris and Jane McConaghy (née Lines) and over her 59 years, she touched many lives with her positive spirit. She showed an interest in pushing boundaries from a young age - at Kitsilano High in the 1970s, Sue took shop class and after graduating she became an aircraft mechanic, working both in BC and in Naples, Florida. She later became an Airworthiness and Aviation Enforcement Inspector, an instructor at BCIT and President of the Pacific Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Association. She worked at several local aerospace companies over her career, developed new apprenticeship training programs and was continually a strong advocate for women in trades.

She was also a Girl Guide leader and Deputy Commissioner in Tsawwassen for many years. Sue received the Lieutenant-Governor’s Silver Medal for aircraft maintenance and was later nominated for a YWCA Women of Distinction award.

Sue lived with a progressive neuro-degenerative disease for nearly the last decade of her life but true to her nature, she refused to let the disease hold her back. During these years she continued to spend time on things important to her such as travelling, gardening and enjoying the natural world, visiting with family, going to rock and roll concerts and growing her collection of tie-dye clothing.

Donations to CurePSP (www.psp.org) or Raincoast Conservation Foundation (www.raincoast.org) are welcomed by the family in lieu of flowers.

LIVESEY, Catherine Scott March 29, 1920 - June 5, 2019 Catherine passed away peacefully Wednesday, June 5, in her 100th year at the Good Samaritan Delta View Care Centre in Delta, BC. Her father, Captain James Watson, wounded in the Great War serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, met his wife, nurse Margaret Boyd, in his native Scotland. They were married in Glasglow in 1917, then moved to his home in Edmonton, Alberta, where Catherine was born three years later. The family moved to Saanichton on Vancouver Island, where Catherine graduated from Mt. Newton High School.

She followed in her mother’s footsteps, graduating in 1945 from the School of Nursing, Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster.

In marrying Ernest (Ernie) Edward Livesey in 1964, she discovered and embraced a ready-made family with his daughters Diana (Jacques) and Joan, granddaughters Corinne (Chris) and Yannick (Tim), and great grandchildren Robyn, Audrey, Dominique and Felix. A seasoned traveller before marriage, she introduced Ernie to worldwide trips and cruises, including the Old Country to meet her extensive Scottish relations. She joined him in all the extra-curricular interests that rounded out his long career in teaching— gardening, bridge, and dancing. She loved entertaining and cooking; her freezer was always stocked with cookies and pastries and her granddaughters loved her shortbread! She continued this after Ernie passed in 1987. Our thanks go out to the care team in Cascades at Delta View for the warmth and exceptional care and to the staff at Kin Village where she lived happily for 10 years. Gratitude also to Richard (Luc), her godson, to extended family Dale and Ron, and to her friend Sandra for their care and support through the latter years of decreasing mobility, which Catherine bore with courage and determination. She will be remembered for her infectious laugh, great sense of fun, and her intelligence. Her cremated remains will be interred at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Saanichton, on Vancouver Island, with those of her husband and parents.

A private gathering is to be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, Catherine may be remembered by donating to the Registered Nurses Foundation of BC (RNFBC), 506-595 Howe Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6C 2T5. https://rnfbc.ca/donate/ or a charity of one’s choice.
