Cat caught in leg-hold trap Animal protection group renews its call for Delta to ban certain types of traps 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

An animal protection group has renewed its calls for the City of Delta to take action after a family cat was grievously injured in a foot-hold trap in Ladner.

The Fur-Bearers learned that Blu, a three-year-old cat, found its way home with severe damage to a hind leg. The veterinarian treating Blu noted the injury was the result of a foot-hold or body-gripping trap.

“I’ve had pets my whole life and never experienced anything like this,” said owner Josie Moubert.

“Whomever caught Blu released him from the trap, but didn’t call the number on his collar. Our veterinarian suspects that due to the level of rotten flesh, Blu was in the trap for at least two days.

Everyone I’ve spoken to about what happened to Blu is disgusted by it. Our family still doesn’t know if he’ll make it.”

Blu’s harrowing experience follows a recent memo from Delta staff recommending the city not enact a bylaw regarding traps following an incident last month where a raccoon was also caught by a foot-hold trap in the same neighbourhood.

According to The Fur-

The Fur-Bearers has renewed its calls for the City of Delta to take action after a family cat named Blu was grievously injured in a foot-hold trap in Ladner.

Bearers, the raccoon was found in the area of 46A Avenue dragging a foothold trap for days. The raccoon was emaciated, dehydrated and had a visibly broken leg. The animal was humanely euthanized

by Critter Care Wildlife Society.

“Municipalities in British Columbia cannot rely on the province to

appropriately manage all wildlife-related issues, as can be evidenced by several enacting or asking to enact similar trap bans,” said Michael Howie, a spokesperson for The FurBearers.

“This trap was likely set within an urban environment, and possibly within sight of a large elementary school. The City of Delta

has both the duty to protect their residents from such dangerous behaviour and the authority to enact bylaws related to such under the Community Charter.”

The lengthy response memo from Delta bylaw staff notes trapping in B.C. is regulated by the province under the Wildlife Act and that a variety of trap-

ping methods are allowed, including the use of leghold traps.

However, there are restrictions, including prohibiting the use of a leg-hold trap within 200 metres of a dwelling.

The memo also states a prohibition on leg-hold traps would be a significant hardship to farmers.

Howie said his group disagrees with that position and has sent another letter to Delta urging the city to reconsider its policies.

“A bylaw would also create education for local residents who may be trying to catch and/or kill animals on their property,” added Howie. “It’s time to acknowledge that provincial laws have not done the job of protecting people and pets from traps, and that communities are speaking out against their use.”

The Fur-Bearers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the identification and conviction of the person(s) responsible for setting the trap, should it be proven to be illegal.

It is also calling on landowners who are using legal traps to publicly acknowledge this with signage and communication to nearby residents so that educated decisions can be made.

Conservatives’ Corbet makes it four in federal race SANDOR GYARMATI

Now the hard work begins.

Acclaimed last week as the Conservative candidate in Delta in this fall’s federal election, Tanya Corbet says she’s preparing for a lot of door knocking.

“I’m very, very humbled and honoured to be the candidate moving forward for Delta and really look forward to the hard work ahead. Right now my focus is really on building a team and getting ready for the campaign, and getting out there and meeting as many people as possible, knocking on doors and listening to what people are saying. So definitely some long days ahead, for sure,” she told the Optimist.

A member of the Tsawwassen First Nation, Corbet will try to recapture the riding for the Conservatives that was taken by a wide margin by Liberal Carla Qualtrough in 2015.

In a recent interview, prior to Corbet getting the nod by the Conservatives, TFN Chief Ken Baird said he was pleased that a member of his First Nation was seeking a nomination to run federally, although he and the TFN are taking a neutral position when it comes to the election.

“It’s always refreshing and inspiring to see Indigenous people take an interest in representing Canadians in government. As Tanya is a member of the Tsawwassen First Nation and former executive councillor, we, of

course, wish her the best of luck in her pursuits.

Tanya spent a great deal of time as a senior staff person and elected leader of the Tsawwassen First Nation government, and she would be a great asset to any political party,” he said.

Corbet is the fourth candidate to enter the race in Delta, joining Qualtrough,

Craig DeCraene of the Greens and Angelina Ireland of the People’s Party of Canada. The NDP has yet to announce a candidate.

The 2015 election was a game changer in a lot of ways as the newly reconfigured riding, which combined North Delta and South Delta for the first time in a quarter-century, saw newcomer Qualtrough beat Conservative incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay by more than 9,000 votes, making her the first Liberal to represent South Delta in Ottawa since 1968.

Qualtrough garnered 49.3 per cent of the popular vote, while Findlay saw her support drop to just 32.7 per cent.

Qualtrough went on to be named to cabinet in the Justin Trudeau majority

government, becoming minister of sport and persons with disabilities and later minister of public services and procurement.

Trudeau announced last summer that Qualtrough would seek a second term in this year’s election as she looks to prove that 2015 wasn’t an aberration, especially in South Delta which had been a Conservative stronghold for decades before voting Liberal last time.

Feeling optimistic, Phil Horan, chair of the Liberal riding association in Delta, in an interview this spring said they’ve been knocking on doors and asking people specifically how they feel about Qualtrough, and the response has been overwhelmingly favourable.

The election is Oct. 21.

Redevelopment plan submitted for troubled townhouse complex

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 redevelopment application for Ladner Willows has been formally received by the City of Delta.

Located in the 5600block of Ladner Trunk Road, Ladner Willows is a 40-unit townhouse complex operated by Red Door Housing Society.

It has been in the news recently as several residents came forward to the Optimist expressing frustration with ongoing maintenance issues and mold problems.

The Optimist has tried on several occasions to speak with Red Door Housing on its plans for addressing the issues with the units and its redevelopment plans, but those interview requests have gone unanswered.

At council Monday night, city planner Marcy Sangret brought forward a report about the proposed redevelopment plans.

The application is to

redevelop the property into a four-storey nonmarket rental apartment building with 136 units.

In the report, Sangret said a robust consultation will now begin, which will include establishing a project website, holding a meeting with tenants to introduce the proposed redevelopment and tenant relocation plan, sending letters to surrounding property owners and holding a public information meeting.

The Delta school board, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Delta police, BC Housing and Fraser Health will also all be consulted and their feedback will be used to form the discussion as the proposal makes its way through the approval process.

BC Housing had earlier stated the subsidized housing complex required significant repairs to the building envelope, windows and piping systems that would be very costly.

unlivable and she has since had to find other living arrangements.

“As many of her friends know, Loretta has always been there for people in need,” said Dawn Williams, who created the gofundmepage. “She gives so much support to so many people with so little.

Loretta recently retired and we would like to pull together as a community

to give to her so that she can move forward from this tragedy.”

The fire destroyed her storage sheds, one of which was a brand new cedar weaving work shed, and the back of her home.

The home will need to be demolished and rebuilt.

Williams is an artist, weaving wool and cedar into works of art. She is connected to her culture

and teaches others wherever she travels, sharing her knowledge all over the Lower Mainland and into the United States. She is also a newly elected legislator of the Tsawwassen First Nation government.

To contribute, see: https://www.gofundme. com/f/loretta-williamshouse-fire. As of yesterday morning, almost $5,000 had been raised.

Police seeking witnesses or video of fatal truck crash

Delta police are looking for witnesses or dashcam video that could aid in its investigation into a fatal semi-truck collision on Deltaport Way June 13.

The incident took place between 9 and 9:30 a.m. and involved two semi-trucks. One of the drivers, a man from Surrey, was killed.

DPD is asking anyone travelling southbound at the time of the collision to come forward if they have dashcam video of a semi-truck on the highway. The truck in question has a light blue cab and a dark blue container.

“There are reports this vehicle may have been driven erratically, so we encourage anyone who has video to please get in touch with police,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf.

Leykauf said any witnesses to the collision, or the events prior to the collision, who have not yet spoken with police are encouraged to come forward.

Murphy’s Law

I

TED MURPHY

t’s the only one that would be ready in time — it’s an accurate statement but I’m not convinced that means it’s a compelling argument.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s proposal to build a second container terminal at Roberts Bank has been the subject of a public hearing for the past six weeks or so, during which time it has encountered stormy seas as many have voiced apprehensions over various aspects of Terminal 2, primarily the negative impacts it would have on an environmentally sensitive area.

Delta Mayor George Harvie was among those to raise concerns, telling an independent review panel that the $2-billion undertaking shouldn’t proceed until the scientific community reaches a consensus on the project’s effects on the Pacific Flyway and the millions of shorebirds that frequent the area.

Harvie was referring to Environment and Climate Change Canada disagreeing with the port authority’s conclusion that proposed mitigation measures would offset almost all of the ecological harm brought about by constructing another man-made island off Delta’s coast.

In the face of these very real concerns, it appears the port authority has decided to take the discussion in a different direction by hammering home the notion that T2 would be the only project ready in time to deal with a West Coast container capacity crunch that’s apparently on the horizon.

Given the T2 review process goes as far back as 2013, there’s no doubt that any proposal getting underway today, like adding a fourth berth to the existing Deltaport container terminal or an expansion elsewhere, would have an extremely lengthy road ahead of it.

It appears the proponents have recognized they’re up against it trying to argue their case on environmental grounds, particularly given the stance taken by federal government scientists, so they’ve shifted focus to an area where they’re on firmer ground, although there are conflicting views over how much container capacity will be needed on the West Coast and by what date it will be required.

It’s a stronger argument, to be sure, but if the best thing Terminal 2 has going for it is that it’s the only project that can be built in time, then I’m not so sure it’s necessarily the right one.

Declaring climate emergency means little without action

C

anadian politics are often rife with our very own brand of hypocritical nonsense, but the circumstances surrounding Canada’s declaration of a climate emergency raises the bar for empty, vacuous platitudes.

This declaration follows a scientific report from Environment and Climate Change Canada, literally the people in charge of keeping track of this sort of thing.

The report, a collaboration of over 40 scientists, found that Canada is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world and that this warming is effectively “irreversible.”

My question: What’s the use of declaring an emergency? An emergency is clearly implied when scientists use the word “irreversible” in a similar fashion as doctors use the word “incurable.”

Yes, recognition is the first step towards dealing with a problem.

Unfortunately, at this point anyone who hasn’t realized changes to our environment pose a potentially existential threat appears woefully misinformed, or at the very least painfully unobservant.

Declaring a climate emergency without committing to significant action is too little, too late.

To add insult to injury, the leaders of the Liberal, Conservative and New Democratic parties did not even

Community Comment NICHOLAS WONG

attend the vote. Instead, the leaders of the three largest parties in Canadian politics attended the Toronto Raptors’ victory parade and rally because that’s where their priorities were that day.

Thankfully, Maxime Bernier was present to represent the People’s Party of Canada in denying there is any problem whatsoever. To its credit, the NDP, after recognizing how pointless the exercise was, supported the motion.

Not that they were at risk of actually getting something done.

The declaration of climate emergency was made via a non-binding motion that “does not require any action to be taken.” This was made painfully obvious when the Liberals approved the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion the very next day.

This was only the first of a series of contradictions put out by

the Canadian government. From Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying that a pipeline will help us reach our environmental goals to the passing of the anti-pipeline bill C-69, the federal government has transcended mere hypocrisy into something entirely new.

Whatever this new aspect of political double-talk is, it allows our prime minister to sell us government handouts (electric car rebates) and a new carbon tax as though he were our climate hero.

Whether you believe the experts or not, there are changes happening in the world that are undeniable and obviously man made. Whales wash ashore filled to the brim with plastic; a garbage island three times the size of France is floating in the Pacific; and can we stop calling the blazing inferno that used to be our forests “forest fire season.” It isn’t normal and it isn’t a season; it’s a bloody catastrophe. I still remember a time when none of those things were true.

Our society cries out for principles and virtue, but is met with bread and circuses. The world needs real climate leadership, not empty words and hypocrisy. We have enough of that.

It’s time to face up to our carbon footprint past Editor: Re: It’s getting harder to believe what so-called experts say, Community Comment, June 13 Initially, my intention here was to take Greg Hoover to task (a formidable task in itself) for some of his comments to support his position as a self-declared “climate change disbeliever.” Then, I took a breath and subsequently offer up this full disclosure with respect to my own personal history of absolute careless ignorance and disregard around energy consumption on all fronts.

This “aging out” boomer really needs to get this off his chest, so I ask for your indulgence...

Looking back to a great time of growing up

in Ontario it seems that almost everything we loved to do as a family and later on my own was supported and enhanced by copious and endless amounts of fossil fuel consumption. Yup, from outboard motors to snowmobiles to motorcycles to tour boats and an endless array of cars and trucks, there was never a thought given to this normal-forthe-day carbon footprint.

It was great. My first decades of workaday life were, in fact, centered around the auto industry.

So, how do we (you know, the folks that have been in charge for the past 30-odd years) come to the realization that the imminent substantial global environmental changes affecting every

aspect of life on our planet have been caused largely by human activities?

Furthermore, that said conclusions have been arrived at through diligent and now arguably undeniable scientific methodology?

Well, for starters we face up to our new reality and our (let’s hope) awakening. We face our young people head on and we say to them, “We didn’t know. We should have known but we didn’t. Now, in the relatively short time our generation is going to be in the picture in any meaningful way, let us work together to mitigate, adapt and prepare as best we can. And after that?

Well, it will all be on you... and your children.”

50 years and counting for blue-shirted army

Editor: My wife has been a Delta Hospital Auxiliary volunteer for almost 30 years. I have been supportive but somewhat complacent over the years about her weekly work at the hospital gift shop.

In recent years, however, I have come to realize that she is part of a unique group of blue-shirted volunteers that you see all over Ladner. Walk into the hospital and you are immediately greeted and

helped on your way by these folks.

The gift shop rivals the ones on 48th Avenue for unique and wonderful gifts and useful items.

The thrift shop in Ladner Village is a whole other phenomenon that gathers and sells myriad used goods of all types — entirely staffed by blueshirted volunteers that raise hundreds of thousands of dollars towards the hospital.

Yvonne Chard is to be

commended for documenting all of this in an elegant 100-page booklet entitled Delta Hospital Auxiliary The First 50 Years. It makes for fascinating reading about not only the auxiliary but also sheds light on so many aspects of South Delta’s history.

After reading this booklet, I will no longer be complacent about my wife’s volunteer work and the blue-shirted army.

Town Centre plan would take away small town charm

Editor: Getting back to the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall redevelopment plan, I would like to point out a couple of facts.

Firstly, the initial application was rejected because it was a six-storey building fronting 56th Street. It is now a five-storey building fronting 56th Street. Surely this is virtually the same thing and should be rejected.

Secondly, the under-

ground parking. As with all high-rise apartment buildings, the first two levels of underground parking are reserved for residents and retail. Therefore, the public (you and me) will have to park three levels down.

Lastly, the 16-, 14- and 12-storey high-rise buildings. I was under the misapprehension that six storeys was the maximum height. My personal feeling is this is a negotiation stance by Century Group

to try and get away with a possible 10, eight and six storeys. I am sure there is a wordsmith out there who is going to tell me how wrong I am and what a wonderful idea this is.

In the 2019 edition of the Delta Visitors Guide, a headline reads: “Delta retains its small town charm.” If this application goes ahead, it will have to be changed to: “Delta has lost its small town charm.”

It is not the worst smell in the world. I grew up in farmland and smells come with the territory.

Editor: Re: T2 is only project that can meet trade demands, letter to the editor, June 20 Contrary to Allan Baydala’s letter, the T2 proposal at Roberts Bank must never be approved. It is already seen as a white elephant in terms of a flawed business case, environmental risk and capital cost estimate and would become a big loser for the taxpayers of Canada and the environmental health of the Fraser River estuary.

Baydala pays homage to his former colleagues who are an appointed group, reporting to an appointed group of insiders called a board of directors that have taken control of basically the majority of available harbour land located south of the Fraser River.

Actually, the Port of Vancouver is largely a real

estate company. It possesses special powers to purchase land within the provincial ALR zone, pay no municipal taxes and freely impose its agenda on the southern west coast of Canada.

It also tries to dictate public policy concerning land use in the region. In fact, its CEO is on record saying that we need to convert ALR land to industrial and import the majority of our food product requirements from abroad.

Baydala’s letter also boasts about forecasts from leading international consultants and talks about a container capacity crunch by the mid2020s. This is also smoke and mirrors as the port has never met a forecast since the inception of Deltaport for more than a decade.

In fact, its forecasting is so bad that it produces three forecasts based on a low,

medium and high forecast options.

I can tell you the port has never met medium or high forecasts and usually underperforms even at the low end. It gets even worse if you deduct U.S. import/ export containers which have nothing to do with the port’s mandate.

The U.S. container component currently represents almost 30 per cent of its business, and of course such U.S. business brings with it almost no economic benefit to Canada, only pain and suffering, environmentally. If you deduct this U.S.-bound component, the port would show negative growth during the past five years.

Based on actual shipping volume, realistic forecasts and current expansions at all other West Coast terminals, including the Port of Prince Rupert, there is no need to build

T2.

If the Port of Vancouver takes its mandate seriously, it should cancel the T2 proposal, start addressing the environmental damage it has already done in the recent past and acknowledge that any future container terminal expansions should go to the Port of Prince Rupert for all the right reasons. That timeline is likely twenty years or more down the road.

On the economic front, it should start sending its (our) rent cheques to Ottawa to pay down the debt instead of spending millions of taxpayer dollars on hiring consultants, buying up ALR/harbour land, self-serving public relations advertising and paying out huge salaries to its own management team.

Hope you appreciate this reality check.

Terminal 2 must never be built

Editor: Re: T2 is only project that can meet trade demands, letter to the editor, June 20 It is interesting that even a retired Port of Vancouver official still espouses the benefits of a project that has failed to pass any sense of environmental scrutiny. The most recent admonishment is a definitive statement by the Department of Environment and Climate Change Canada.

It states the damage caused by this development will irreparably harm the biofilm food source for the shorebirds.

These birds depend on this omega-rich protein for their annual northern migration.

This directly contradicts the port’s own findings which claim this proposal will have “no significant impact” on the environment.

The reason that “no other project has even started this process” (of environmental assessment) is that the port has never intended to consider another project.

The Global Container Terminals Inc. (GCT) proposal to extend the existing terminal comes at approximately half the cost with less effect to the contested tidal waters that supplies the biofilm food source. As well there have been favourable arguments for the extension of the Prince Rupert terminal.

and needs to be corrected. The environmental assessment is restricted to that of the Harper era.

Full-scale environmental impact studies (for community) was never done, and a cumulative effect impact assessment (as they are now called) for all the port undertakings on the Fraser River has never been required. Under today’s rules, this would be required.

Lastly, Baydala claims the business case is solid.

If this is true, please let us see the business case.

The only container trade that is rising is that of Prince Rupert, which has the added benefit of a two days shorter sailing time than Delta.

Allan Baydala argues the return on investment of a GCT extension may be less favourable. What he hasn’t discussed is the incredible federal subsidies that are presently at play that favour the port proposal. For instance, the federal government and BC hydro put up millions of dollars to finally bring shore power to Delta. The federal government has also proposed to pay for shore power to T2. This after years of port CEO Robin Silvester telling us T2 won’t cost the taxpayer any money.

The statement that Baydala makes about this project going through “the country’s most rigorous federal environmental review” is patently wrong

Teachers worried changes could lead to less support SUSAN YAO

Optimist contributor

Myself as president and 1st vice president Alison Roche of the Delta Teachers’ Association along with a teacher from Beach Grove Elementary recently met with Delta South MLA Ian Paton at his Ladner office. Paton expressed surprise the DTA’s office was so nearby — “only a three-minute walk away,” we told him.

While the DTA has been in Ladner for years supporting teachers and advocating for quality education in Delta, seven years ago it relocated to offices on Trenant Street.

Speaking of relocation, do you know how many families move to Delta because of the many services and supports available for families and individuals with learning differences? One family in particular — with two children on the autism spectrum — moved to Delta because of its very positive reputation for providing quality services.

With the recent fundraising gala for Reach Child and Youth Development Society in early June, many Deltans are well aware of Reach’s vision to “provide timely, accessible and familycentered community programs and services for the optimal development of children, youth and adults.”

How many Deltans also know about the Delta School District’s Provincial Outreach Program for Autism and Related Disorders (POPARD) which provides services and outreach to schools, educators and students across B.C.? Knowledge and supports flourish in Delta which may be why

families needing these would choose to come to the Delta School District.

With this context the DTA reached out to Delta’s two MLAs, Paton and Ravi Kahlon in Delta North, to share concerns for Delta’s families and students in light of recent recommendations of the Education Funding Model Review Panel for B.C. One is a recommendation to untie funding allocations from students with so-called “designations,” using something called the Prevalence Model.

Currently funding in B.C. is provided to school boards to address aspects of special education for students meeting criteria as Level 1, 2 or 3 unique needs based on Ministry of Education “designations.”

Rather than providing additional funding for individuals with special needs, using the Prevalence Model means funding will look at percentages of the population predicted with those specific needs in a region.

The Delta Teachers’ Association is concerned about the reliability of this data. Districts such as Delta currently have data on actual number of students with special needs and this provides a reliable link to need for services.

Back in March, the DTA joined other education partners including senior school district personnel, Delta Parent Advisory Council and CUPE 1091 to give feedback to Delta’s school trustees on the Education Funding Model Review Panel report.

Participants were asked what stood out and why.

The DTA was very vocal about concerns with the Prevalence Model of funding for special education.

Questions to think

about: “What matters more — students or statistics?”

The DTA’s concern: a Prevalence Model will mean less support for students with complex learning needs.

“Why are parents, teachers and support staff excluded from panel discussions of the funding formula?”

Important and knowledgeable partner groups were not formally included on the government panel; it was a local decision of Delta’s school trustees to invite input from excluded groups.

“Will breaking the link between needs and services lead to less service?”

Students will no longer need to be diagnosed to receive funding. This may make it tougher to argue that students need additional support.

“Will parents will have to fight harder for services?”

Probably. For parents not highly skilled as advocates for their children, this will be harder. And may mean greater inequity for the most vulnerable students.

“Is current funding adequate?”

As a percentage of provincial budget, B.C. spends $3,000 less per student than in 2002. Districts currently pull millions of dollars from other programs to meet costs of supporting students with special needs. This may worsen and funding may be more limited with a Prevalence Model.

Like the snow geese to Reifel Bird Sanctuary, people flock to Delta bringing diversity and growth. Will that always be true?

Susan Yao is president of the Delta Teachers’ Association.

Agri-tourism industry and summer fun under attack

MLA’s Report IAN PATON

The summer months are usually filled with community events and activities that liven up our neighbourhoods and allow local residents and visitors to experience the best that B.C. has to offer. Quite often, it’s in the form of the delicious agri-foods that are produced on farms across our great province.

We all know that farming is not an easy way to make a living. Farmers often have to get creative, especially in parts of the province where the climate and geography make for fewer growing months.

They are often looking for alternative ways to showcase their goods.

Some might set up a restaurant or bakery on their farm to sell dishes made with products they grow. Others might set up a seasonal event or holiday festival where their products are consumed or sold as part of the festivities.

Unfortunately, John Horgan and the NDP’s ideological bent makes it difficult for them to resist making life more difficult for these business owners— and for the rest of us, who just want to enjoy some local foods and beverages in a special setting.

The Agricultural Land Commission’s interpretation of provincial rules has become so stringent that farmers and festival organizers are being forced to cancel these types of activities which build community and help keep these farms viable.

The latest to be cancelled is the popular B.C. Hop Fest in Abbotsford.

Here’s a festival that helps raise the profile of B.C.’s hop farmers, connects them with brewers and promotes their product.

But the ALC is now cracking down on the size of this seasonal event, as well as the fact the festival doesn’t sell hops directly to attendees.

We also saw the Glow Christmas festival move out of Darvonda Gardens in Langley and into two new locations in Abbotsford and Vancouver, after the ALC ruled the event isn’t a permitted farm use. Having to apply for “non-farm use” would have meant additional paperwork and a $1,500 expense for farmers, which is the last thing

they need as they cope with the NDP’s triplewhammy: an increased minimum wage, a hike to the carbon tax and a new employer health tax.

Meanwhile on Vancouver Island, we also have Bird’s Eye Cove Farm in the Cowichan Valley being forced to cancel its summer Market/Pizza family farm evenings as the ALC regards these as “seasonal events” even though their own farmraised meats are used in the goods served. In Nanoose Bay, Rusted Rake Farm’s on-site eatery is being threatened by government regulations that don’t allow restaurants on the Agricultural Land Reserve unless they are connected to a brewery or winery.

The business of farming is being stifled because we have an activist minister of agriculture, Lana Popham, who insists on protecting the land but not the farmer. As a third-generation dairy farmer myself, I fully understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the land, but I also know that without the farmer, there is no farm.

Government should be supporting farmers’ efforts to keep their operations viable and successful, rather than regulating their activities into oblivion and potentially putting them out of business.

We are Lucky to live in relative comfort and safety here in Canada.

Yes it’s easy to grumble about the snow, the traffic and other minor inconveniences of our First World, but imagine living in a war-torn country that can not offer you relative comfort and safety.

My wife and I are both immigrants from Ireland. We came to Canada 30 plus years ago and we have had a great life in this country. We raised 5 children and have always been welcome in our community, our church, and our neighborhood, getting to know people from all corners of the world.

We did not have any big problems coming to Canada, even though it took months to get the paperwork complete, it was worth the wait. We were lucky we were not coming from a war torn country like Northern Ireland, or Vietnam then or Syria now. We were from the South of Ireland where there was no war.

Canada welcomes both types of immigration, the economic immigrants like us, and the refugees who have to get out of their old country for safety.

Canada wins because of all of these people and it makes our country strong. Yes, sometimes it takes new immigrants, of a very different culture from Canada, a generation to learn the ways of this country, but that is a small price to pay to bring all these great people to Canada. When we see, what is happening to the South of us and the mindset that goes with that we shake our head and thank God that we live in Canada.

way consultations with Indigenous peoples have fulfilled our legal duty to consult and have resulted in stronger relationships and significant accommodations. We have tailored our responses to concerns raised by Indigenous communities.

We also committed to a next phase of engagement to explore ways that Indigenous communities can share in the benefits of the expansion, including through ownership.

Our government is firmly resolved to transition to a green economy. The prosperity created today allows us to invest in the clean technology, clean jobs and infrastructure required to get there. That is why we also announced that every dollar earned from this project will be invested in Canada’s clean energy transition.

I believe this decision — supporting our economy and environment together — is the best way forward for Deltans and all of Canada.

Cops for Cancer hits close to home

Delta police officer to ride while his mom battles the disease IAN JACQUES

the first time, is not only riding for the kids, but for his mom.

“It’s something I always wanted to do. This year my mom is battling cancer and it’s unfortunately at the stage where it’s terminal,” said Pearce. “Seeing the pain that she is going through and the difficulty that it has caused our family, I can only imagine how much more difficult it would be for a young kid. I can’t fathom that.

Seeing these kids battling this same illness… it’s just not fair.

“This is my little way to give something back.

My mom lives in Ontario, so aside from the phone calls and messages of support I can send her, I felt detached from her situation, so this is a way that I can help fight with her and give her a little more motivation to fight longer.”

Between now and the ride, set for Sept. 18 to 29, many of Pearce’s off days will be spent either training or fundraising.

“Prior to signing up for this I probably hadn’t been

We finished at a community park and met with eight families of our junior riders, so kids who are battling cancer and their families. We had a barbecue, played some games. It was a good chance to get to know these kids personally and why we are getting on a

bike for 11 days.”

Pearce has already raised $2,000 through the help of co-workers and great family and friends as well as some stationary cycling at the Vancouver Giants playoff games.

On July 12 to 14 he will be at the Thrifty Foods in Tsawwassen suspended high up in a scissor lift for 50 hours to raise money and awareness. Further details on that fundraiser will be available soon.

July 5.6.7

It’s all relative when you’re talking brilliant inventions

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

Some people would argue that the wheel was mankind’s greatest invention. Some would say it’s the airplane. Others would say it’s the computer.

Then there’s the camera.

And the telephone. And the plow.

Sure, all grand inventions. Heck, without my cellphone, I wouldn’t be able to play Candy Crush or check out the movie times for Rocketman or text the husband to remind him to bring home some wine and cheese.

Without the airplane, I would have to take an extra week off work to drive to the other side of the continent to watch my favourite team play an away game. That would not be good.

Yes, all brilliant cre-

ations, indeed.

But I have to think chocolate milk was also a brilliant invention, as were flip-flips and Licorice Allsorts.

Sure, paper was a great one, but can it stand up to the zipper? I don’t even want to imagine a world where pants had no zippers. The mental pictures give me the yips.

The husband happens to think the golf cart was a brilliant invention — shows you where his priorities are — but can it compare to the suitcase on wheels? Man. Thanks to the suitcase on wheels, I can now travel to a favourite team getaway game lugging clothing that lasts me three or four weeks, even if I’m only gone for an extended weekend.

Remote controls were a brilliant invention, of course, because who on earth wants to stand up and walk to the TV to change a channel when you can do that from the comfort of the La-Z-Boy? That is such an utter pain.

Money was a grand invention — it comes in useful now and again — but the debit card is grander. And while the comb and brush were bril-

liant, the hair dryer trumps them both.

“In-ground sprinkler systems?” suggested the husband, suddenly in on the discussion. “They’re brilliant.”

“We don’t have one of those,” I pointed out. “But we do have an electric mixer.”

“Oh,” said the husband, who has not once used one. “I guess.”

The husband has, however, opened an umbrella, eaten a pizza, used Velcro and played a game of Scrabble, all clearly on the brilliant list.

Both of us have benefited from the washer and dryer, the non-stick frying pan and the folding lawn chair, all of which I think are up there with the wheel.

“The artificial Christmas tree was a pretty good invention,” I observed.

The husband looked at me and gasped.

“OK,” I said. “I take that back. Don’t tell the kids I said that.”

So the fake Christmas tree is definitely off the list, since we’ll never, ever have one.

The zipper, however, is on it for good. It’s what you’d call utterly brilliant.

Just weeks ago, a brand new hearing aid line was released to the public and it’s transforming the hearing experience for its wearers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reach for the Stars gala raises a record amount

Reach for the Stars: Shining Lights Gala raised just over $160,000 for children with special needs.

The funding will help Reach Child and Youth Development Society expand programs and shorten waitlists as well as upgrade North Delta facilities.

In fact, 17 families were removed from the Reach counselling program waitlist during the FundA-Need at the June 1 gala when over $20,000 was raised in seven minutes after presentations from Yvonne McKenna and Christine Sutherland.

Delta MP Carla Qualtrough spoke at the event and highlighted the difference that Reach

makes to families and the importance of inclusion.

Steve Darling entertained the crowd once again as MC and worked with live auctioneer Ian Paton, the MLA for Delta South, to raise bids on a variety of high quality items.

Other highlights of the evening included Jason Beddis’s voice and piano performance and a Greek dance by young Haris Tsaoussis.

Business support included major donor Realco Properties, presenting sponsors Global Container Terminals and Ocean Trailer, and platinum sponsors Port of Vancouver, CAPTIN Toyota and the Sundowner Pub.

The event was attended by 300 guests and is supported by 51 volunteers, comprised of year-long event volunteers as well as night-of helpers.

The community involvement for the annual Reach for the Stars gala by sponsors, donors and guests makes the special evening possible.

“The combination of warm hearts, positive energy and generosity of spirit that filled the ballroom was remarkable,” said Kristin Bibbs, Reach development manager and event organizer. “It was an amazing evening and we are extremely grateful to everyone who contributed in support of our children and families.”

Elementary students share environmental concerns

SUBMITTED PHOTO

As a follow up to Earth Day, Kathy Veperts’ Grade 2 class at Hawthorne Elementary sent letters to Delta South MLA Ian Paton expressing concern about the use of plastics and styrofoam in Delta. (This was before the federal announcement.) Students wrote heartfelt letters regarding their concerns about the impacts of plastics and our local carbon footprint. Paton and Delta Coun. Dylan Kruger came to the classroom on June 11 to discuss local issues and answer questions. Veperts says the kids were thrilled and felt empowered that day. She says they’re passionate and knowledgeable about environmental issues.

Ladner GP is in Mexico as doctors take to the pitch

A Ladner family doctor is taking time away from his clinic to represent Canada at the World Medical Football Championships in Mexico this week.

Dr. Ashley Nicholson was selected to play for the team again this year after his performance last year in Prague in the 24th annual conference and international tournament.

Each year teams of physicians from around the world meet to not only share the latest in sports medicine research but to challenge each other in a concurrent soccer tournament.

Team Canada was founded by another South Delta-raised family doctor, Dr. Paul Dhillon, who currently practices in Sechelt.

“Ashley was a great addition to the team last year and this year he received an additional accolade from the BC College of Family Physicians for being one of the first ever physicians

One of my most vivid remembrances, of the many opportunities I had to meet and speak with Jean over the 32 years I have been involved with L’Arche, was Jean’s gift of direct and full attention to the person he was talking to.

This is such a rare thing to experience in today’s world of a multi-tasking, interruption packed, sound bite-laden style of conversation.

Tuesday, May 7, 2019 was one of those days to remember, especially for the members of the 154 L’Arche Communities worldwide. The word of Jean Vanier’s death, early in the morning in Paris, France, spread quickly through social media channels and as people rose to the new day in North America, the impact of this news in the lives of many became real.

It was that very morning I was attending the opening day of the Pastors and Leaders Conference at Regent Collage. The theme was “The Prophetic Voice.”

I felt deeply the need to tell this gathering the news of the loss of a modern day prophet.

Seattle author Steven Verrier has written a biography on wrestling legend Gene Kiniski.

If you’re a fan of wrestling, especially Canadian wrestling legend Gene Kiniski, then be sure to mark Sunday, July 7 in your calendar.

Fans and friends will come together at Kiniski’s Reef Tavern in Point Roberts from 5 to 7 p.m. for the Kiniski Experience.

The event will feature stories, memorabilia and good old-fashioned wrestling fun hosted by Gene’s sons Nick and Kelly alongside Tsawwassen’s James Cybulski from Sportsnet 650 radio.

Also on hand will be Seattle author Steven Verrier, who recently released a biography on the wrestling legend.

He will speak about the

book and sign copies of Gene Kiniski: Canadian Wrestling Legend.

Nick Kiniski said there will also be private family memorabilia on display that has never before been seen by the public.

“I’m really looking forward to the event,” said Nick. “There is free admission and everyone is welcome. It’s a kid-friendly event too and we will have some food and drink available as well. It’s just going to be a fun time to remember dad.”

Nick, who was interviewed for the book, said he often jokes that Verrier knew more about his dad than he did.

“There are some stories in there that I never knew,” said Nick.

Gene Kiniski: Canadian Wrestling Legend is an

entertaining account of the life of a champion professional wrestler.

Old-time fans and wrestling historians remember Gene for his accomplishments in the ring, but few are aware of what a complex character he was or what a fascinating life he lived over 81 years.

This first biography draws from interviews with many people who knew Gene inside and outside the wrestling ring — from boyhood friends and acquaintances in 1930s and ’40s to fellow wrestlers and promoters who knew him professionally from the 1950s to early ’90s and on to people who became his friends during his retirement in Blaine, Wash.

Kiniski’s Reef Tavern is located at 1334 Gulf Rd.

Chamber music fans will have a chance to see some of Canada’s finest musicians a little closer to home.

Starting in September, the Vancouver Chamber Music Society starts its Tsawwassen series with a number of concerts at the South Delta Baptist Church.

Artistic director Kevin Park said he’s excited to bring this music to South Delta.

“This is the first chamber music series that has been presented on a regular basis in Tsawwassen,” said Park. “We are trying to fulfill our mandate of sharing our music to a broader audience, so the way to do that is to create these types of music series. We know that we have lots of people from South Delta who travel into Vancouver and when we present our Christmas show here the

venue is packed, so we know the interest is there.”

Park said discussions on a South Delta series started last year.

“At the same time we are bringing the series to New Westminster as well as Coquitlam,” he said.

“This series in South Delta is a bit different because the ones in New West and Coquitlam we are partnering with the cities. Here in South Delta, the goal is to create a committee to help us run the series and help us with publicity.

The quality of concert that we present is very popular. People seem to really appreciate the affordability for the quality. For example, our matinee series has only been running for a year, but it is very popular.

We envision bringing the same quality here to South Delta.”

Park said the South Delta Baptist Church is a beautiful venue.

“When I first stepped into the church, I thought

it was a little too big for chamber music, but then I started to clap and sing and the sound was great.

Then I started imagining all the people in the audience and how that will sound. It’s going to sound fantastic,” he said. “You can see and hear really well so the venue is really perfect to accommodate small ensemble all the way to the chamber orchestra.”

The first concert, set for Sept. 13, features the Vancouver Cello Quartet.

South Delta Jazz Festival keeps it fresh in 16th year 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

Outdoor concerts and a continued emphasis for students to deepen their knowledge of jazz highlight the 16th annual South Delta Jazz Festival and student workshop.

Hosted by the Delta Community Music School, the festival runs from July 2 to 6.

The one-week program is designed to give students a chance to immerse themselves in their love of jazz music, while allowing the musicians to become better jazz performers.

The workshop, open to those 12 and up, places students in classes and ensembles according to their ability and experience. They spend most of their time playing music in small groups and learning jazz repertoire and improvisation. Daily concerts and master classes with guest artists help to inspire, excite and motivate.

Workshop faculty are professional musicians from Greater Vancouver and beyond who love teaching and are experienced educators.

Free noon hour concerts will move outside this year so more people can attend. include: Jennifer Scott (voice and piano), Len Aruliah (sax), Rob Kohler (bass), Brad Muirhead (trombone), Stephen Robb (reeds, piano), Kevin Lee (trumpet), Ron Samworth (guitar) and Stan Taylor (drums).

Delta Community Music School music director Stephen Robb said the strength of the festival continues to be the diversity of the classes offered and the quality of faculty who return year after year.

“We have a consistent faculty and guest artists and have a slightly different focus, so it stays fresh every year,” said Robb.

“That helps keep it interesting and allows students

to come back year after year.”

Besides the workshops, the students also have an opportunity to perform at a final outdoor concert as well as a jam session in a local café. There are also concerts featuring many of the faculty members and for the first time all of those concerts will be held outdoors at the music school allowing for more of the public to enjoy the music.

The school is in a heritage house adjacent to McKee Seniors Recreation Centre and Boys & Girls Club in Ladner.

Hawthorne hosts fourth annual Potato Harvest Celebration 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

If you’re going to grow it, you have to eat it.

That’s just one of the philosophies of Susanne Bohmert’s Grade 2 class at Hawthorne Elementary, which hosted its fourth annual Potato Harvest Celebration last week to celebrate a season of growing.

The “potato picnic” held in the school garden showcased freshly harvested potatoes as well as a variety of tasty toppings.

There was also freshly baked scones, muffins and jam — all enhanced with herbs and fruit from the garden — served up on fine china, fancy table lines and unique centerpieces under pop-up tents.

Older students, alumni of the school garden program and parent volunteers were on hand to serve, while the younger students, dressed to impress, waited eagerly at their picnic tables for their turn to sample the fruits of their labour.

Garden club alumni Lucas Martinez (Grade 7), Demetri Boufeas (Grade 7), Belle Haverstock (Grade 4) and Jordanna Dick (Grade 7) get set to serve up the bounty at Hawthorne Elementary’s fourth annual Potato Harvest Celebration last week.

“We were part of the B.C. Agriculture program ‘Spuds in Tubs’ and parents suggested that we have a bigger celebration, so that’s how this celebration evolved,” said Bohmert.

“For the students they can see something from ground to the formal sitting and setting. My class is called the garden class.

We’ve planted the pota-

toes, garlic and sunflowers.”

Bohmert has now involved the whole school in the garden, coming in on her days off to instruct other classes on how the garden works and to help students learn about planting, growing and tending to the harvest.

“We are starting to build a real community sense out here,” she said. “I

had the Grade 1 class all plant potatoes and then in September all the Grade 2s go and harvest a potato as well as many classes as we can get through. Usually we have about 1,000 potatoes.”

She said the project continues to be well received by not only the students, but the community that surrounds the Ladner school.

Readers’ Choice Awards

Readers choose the best in South Delta for 2019

Welcome to the 22nd annual Readers’ Choice Awards special section.

This feature honours the businesses and individuals chosen by our readers as their favourites in a variety of categories.

Ballots were included in print editions in April and May as well as on the Optimist website, giving readers ample opportunity to let us know which shops and services should be the recipients of a Readers’ Choice Award for 2019.

After all the ballots were counted, the winners were presented with their awards at a reception the Optimist hosted earlier this month at the Beach Grove Golf Club.

Recipients mingled with their fellow winners during a reception before a formal awards presentation.

Most of the awards were for all of South Delta, although a few were specific for Ladner and Tsawwassen.

This year’s ballot also asked readers to tell us

about the best experience they’ve had with a South Delta business.

We received hundreds of responses, many of which we’ve included in this section.

We thank all of the read-

ers who took time to tell us who their favourites are and why.

We also congratulate the winners who are the backbone of a strong business community in South Delta.

The Role of Farms in Biodiversityecological health of our region.

They create habitat, increase biodiversity, and contribute to healthy, vital ecosystems.

Pictured is a bee on a pretty, sweet smelling purple flower.

As bees fly from flower to flower, they move pollen from plant to plant on their legs, which is how pollination occurs.

In Delta, we are surrounded by farmland. We drive past the neat rows of crops on a daily basis and think of the food that will ultimately end up on our plates.

But our farms do much more than produce food. Farms play an important role in maintaining the

Biodiversity and agriculture are strongly intertwined.

Supporting and maintaining thriving, balanced ecosystems is an important part of a farmer’s role, and there are many farm practices that contribute to ecosystem health.

Crop diversity, or growing more than one crop in a single place, is one of the most important ways that farmers help to protect biodiversity. Not only does this practice result in a more sustainable farm, but producing a wider variety of crops increases local food security. Hedgerow plantings placed between fields

and at the edges of waterways provide critical habitat corridors for migrating songbirds, offering them much-needed food and shelter. Cover crops can be used to manage weeds and pests, improve soil fertility, and promote biodiversity by increasing the number of animal species in the area, such as pollinators. Pastures and fields can provide important grazing locations for migratory birds in the winter season.

Organic farming methods focus on soil stewardship. Farmers pride themselves on protecting this valuable ecological resource, since healthy soil means healthy produce and ultimately a healthier ecosystem. Foregoing the use of chemicals builds soil ecosystems that host a wide

range of beneficial organisms to control pests naturally.

There are many things we can do ourselves at home to help support our local farmers in their quest towards sustainable agriculture. Planting pollinatorfriendly plants in our gardens to attract bees, or adding some beautiful native plants to our yards to create habitat for local wildlife, are great places to start.

Delta’s Earthwise Garden is a great local resource for people who would like to learn more about ecological land care. Tour the gardens and check out the selection of native and beefriendly plants. Staff is always happy to answer any questions you might have about food growing.

Now Your Greenhouse Farmer (6) the implementation of environmentally-friendly methods to reduce carbon footprint, (7) how greenhouses help with food scarcity and sustainability concerns, and (8) how greenhouse growers aren’t scientists but, rather, hard-working and knowledgeable farmers.

Every spring during BC Veggie Days, the BC Greenhouse Growers’ Association (BCGGA) hosts ‘open greenhouses’ and invites the public and school groups to learn more about where their food comes from.

In line with the philosophy ‘know your farmer, know your food’, BCGGA encourages the public to know what is going on behind the glass.

Over the years, BCGGA greenhouse members have been posed with hundreds of questions related to transparency, which is why BC Greenhouse Veggie Days was created six years ago. Members take visitors on a tour and teach them about (1) best growing practices, (2) integrated pest management (how good bugs eat bad bugs), (3) why greenhouse produce looks ‘near perfect’, (4) the challenges of multi-generational farming, (5) the need for foreign worker programs,

A Day in the Life of a Greenhouse Farmer takes viewers inside a greenhouse as they watch a member go about his daily activities. Dispelling the popularly held belief that produce can only be grown in fields, we see this farmer’s hydroponic system. He checks his crops, involves his family, and addresses how greenhouse growers are trusted to grow highquality nutritious produce. This same connection is made with visitors during BC Greenhouse Veggie Days.

While the tour groups engage with the growers, they are also interacting with chefs as they snack on assorted vegetables and indulge in savoury dishes, such as Roasted Vegetable Cream Sauce and Pasta made with tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers.

BC Greenhouse Veggie Days is growing in popularity and the greenhouse farmers look forward to opening their doors and welcoming everyone each spring.

Many women, including celebs, are embracing their gray hair

Gray hair is a natural side effect of aging. The rate at which hair will turn to gray differs based on genetics and other factors. Some people may go gray seemingly overnight, while others may gray at the temples first before the rest of their hair gradually changes color.

Aging women often wonder if they should cover up their gray hair or embrace the silver. Going gray is no longer something that has women running to their stylists at the sight of the first gray strand.

Some actually opt for silver even before their own gray sets in.

According to a 2017 survey of hair trends by L’Oréal Professional, 28 per cent of women embraced or considered opting for silver hair.

The trend has continued to gain steam. Celebrities

Let’s Dance!

Embracing grays or creating subtle tints with natural ingredients can help women feel confident. like Jamie Lee Curtis and Helen Mirren were some of the first to embrace their grays.

Younger celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Pink and Lady Gaga have opted for silver tresses to make a statement.

But there are still many women who prefer to transition gradually or avoid the harsh chemicals in some hair products. There are many natural ingre-

dients that can add tint to hair to make gray less visible.

Coffee, for example, can cover grays and add dimension to dark tresses.

Chamomile tea is recommended for blonds to add natural highlights and perhaps camouflage their grays. Calendula, marigold, rosehips and hibiscus can deepen red shades or add some subtle red highlights.

Residents at The Wexford and The Waterford enjoy fancy parties, entertaining shows and weekly social events with live music and dancing. Come get to know your neighbours as you dance, laugh and sing together.

Understanding culprits behind wrinkles helps combat them

Getting older brings about many physical and emotional changes.

Wrinkles are one such physical change that is widely associated with aging.

Some people begin fighting wrinkling long before their first wrinkle even appears. A poll of 2,000 women conducted

by DermStore found that around 30 per cent of women under 35 regularly use anti-wrinkle products.

The average millennial user starts at 26 compared to the average currently 55-year-old woman who began around 47.

As skin ages, its natural tendency is to become less elastic. However, other factors also contribute to the formation of wrinkles.

Understanding the main culprits behind wrinkles can help people combat them more effectively.

• Exposure to UV light: The Mayo Clinic says that ultraviolet radiation

Avoiding triggers and following a dermatologist’s advice can help people stave off wrinkles. speeds up the natural aging process and is the primary cause of early wrinkling. UV from the sun can break down the supportive connective tissue in the skin, which includes collagen and elastin fibers.

Using sunscreen and staying out of the sun as much as possible can help.

• Exposure to pollution: Pollution can cause free radical damage that contributes to wrinkling.

Other data indicates those who live in urban settings have more wrinkles and age spots than those who

live in rural areas. Washing off skin contaminants each day may be beneficial.

• Smoking: The contaminants in cigarette smoke can damage the skin, promoting wrinkles, states the skincare company Nivea. Also, dragging on a cigarette purses the lips and can form deep wrinkles around this area of the face.

• Poor diet and stress: Stress and eating unhealthy foods, such as a diet high in sugar, may contribute to premature aging of the skin.

Losing that menopause weight can be a challenge but it’s not an impossible task

Menopause is a time of change in a woman’s life.

Much as the start of menstruation is accompanied by great fluctuations in hormones that can cause different symptoms, so, too, is the end of menstruation.

During menopause, many women experience weight gain and have trouble shedding pounds.

Researchers are not quite sure why women gain weight during menopause.

However, the health and wellness site Healthline advises that both elevated and low levels of estrogen can lead to increased fat storage. This is compounded by a loss of muscle mass that occurs due to age, hormonal changes and decreased physical activity.

According to Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, executive director of the North American Menopause Society, most women will gain about five pounds during the menopause transition.

Women who do not gain weight may notice that fat is being repositioned around their midsections.

Other factors also may contribute to this weight

Women gaining weight during menopause can discuss their concerns with their doctors, trainers and dieticians and work toward healthy goals for postmenopausal weight loss. gain.

Losing weight during the menopause transition can be challenging, but it is not impossible: • Cut down on calories.

Post-menopausal women can cut back on calories because they likely do not need as much as they did when they were younger.

Eating may be out of habit, not necessity.

• Increase exercise.

While mature women may not have the endurance of younger women, they can make up for it by scheduling shorter, more frequent exercise sessions. The general recommendation

and sugar-sweetened beverages tended to have more success losing weight and keeping it off than those who did not.

• Talk about medications. Speak with a doctor about medications, some of which can contribute to weight gain. Many women are prescribed antidepressants in midlife to combat, among other things, symptoms of menopause.

Side effects of such medications can include weight gain.

is 30 minutes of moderateintensity exercise most days per week. But this can be split up into different sessions per day.

Incorporate resistance training to help combat muscle mass lost from aging. The more muscle one has, the more calories burned, even at rest.

• Cut out sweetened beverages and desserts.

Cutting back on sugary items can trigger weight loss. Researcher Bethany Barone Gibbs, Ph.D., noted that participants in a weight-loss study who were able to decrease their consumption of desserts

Top Bantam age baseball teams in province to be showcased at Winskill Park MARK BOOTH

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

Many of the top Bantam age teams from the province’s two baseball associations are set to square off at Tsawwassen’s Winskill Park, starting Thursday, for the 2019 Kyle Losse Memorial Tournament.

The five-day event was launched a year ago in memory of the talented Tsawwassen teen who tragically passed away a few months earlier from complications of a massive stroke.

Losse would be in his second season as a member of the host Delta Tigers.

The inaugural tournament was a tremendous success, attracting elite teams from the B.C. Minor and B.C. Premier leagues. This year is no different in what will be a preview of the provincial 15U championships come August.

“The Losse family have done a great job putting on a great tournament,” said Tigers head coach Cam Frick. “We are helping out and there are lots of volunteers from Tsawwassen Baseball stepping up too. The best teams want to be here. I think we have five of top seven from the PBL and the same for our league.”

The Tigers came up just short of creating a storybook finish to the 2018 tourney, falling to the Fraser Valley Cardinals in the championship game. They have an excellent shot at making a deep run again and will enter the tournament with a B.C. Minor best 30-3-0 record thanks to key doubleheader sweeps on the

weekend against Vancouver and Chilliwack.

“I think the competitive level of our league is a little better than last year and we are a stronger team than last year. Just deeper,” Frick continued. “Last year, we had a 12-man roster and now it’s 15 with a lot of pitchers we can rely on. At times, it’s even hard trying to get innings in for all the guys. That’s why we play a lot of games.

Frick isn’t kidding.

2019 Kyle Losse Memorial Bantam AAA Tournament Participating Teams Group One Delta Tigers B.C. Minor (30-3) North Shore Padres, B.C. Minor (14-17) Langley Blaze B.C. Premier (24-7) Abbotsford Angels, B.C. Minor (10-22) White Rock Tritons B.C. Premier (17-14) Group Two Township Blue Sox B.C. Minor (28-5) Vancouver Mounties B.C. Minor (20-13) Fraser Valley Cards B.C. Premier (16-12) Chilliwack Cougars B.C. Minor (21-13) North Shore Twins B.C. Premier (20-11)

The Tigers will enter their opening game against the PBL’s White Rock Tritons tonight (6:15 p.m.) having played six games in five days, including an exhibition tilt on Wednesday night. There has also been plenty previous tournament action, including a second place at last month’s Langley Blaze tournament where they fell to Alberta’s Okotoks Academy in the final. They enjoyed a strong showing in Kamloops as well.

Following the White Rock match-up, the Tigers will continue round-robin play with a pair of games on Saturday against Abbotsford (9:30 a.m.) and B.C. Minor’s North Shore (6:30 p.m.). They will also face the Langley Blaze on Sunday (6:30 p.m.).

The top two teams from each pool group cross over for the semi-finals on Monday with games scheduled for 9:30 a.m. and noon. The final goes at 3 p.m.

Extra Bases...

Niki and Brian Losse envisioned a year ago the tournament played in their son’s memory would expand and that’s what has happened for the 2019 edition.

A Pee Wee (13U) AA Division has been added bringing all three Winskill Diamonds into play.

The entries include the Tsawwassen A’s, Ladner Red Sox, Campbell River, North Langley, Penticton, Vancouver and Victoria.

The Pee Wee tourney will wrap-up on Sunday.

Tsawwassenteencaptures Zone4Men’sAmateurtitle MARK BOOTH

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

Jace Minni has produced one of the biggest wins of his promising golf career - capturing the Zone 4 Men’s Amateur Championship on the weekend.

The 17-year-old Beach Grove Golf Club junior member fired rounds of 69 and 70 at King’s Links by the Sea (Ladner) and Quilchena (Richmond) for a 6-under total and a one shot victory over Trevor Yu. Zone 4 is one of the largest in the province and features the top players from Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Point Roberts, North Shore, Burnaby and the Sunshine Coast.

Minni, 17, showcased his all-round game on two entirely different courses.

King’s Links (round one) is a tradition links style course while Quilchena (round two) features narrow fairways and plenty of trees.

“Kings Links doesn’t really suit my game that well. I usually play well on courses that have tight fairways since I hit the ball straighter than most people,” said the 17-yearold South Delta Secondary student. “But the wind was blowing a lot and I feel like

TO OUR PARTNERS AND SPONSORS – A HUGE

THANK YOU The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen would especially like to thank our partner the City of Delta for the help with our 4th Annual Soap Box Derby. Without their assistance this event would not be possible.

Thank you Save-on Foods Tsawwassen and the Delta Police Foundation for presenting the Show and Shine event on Friday-- a big hit with a large crowd attending.

The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen also thanks all our sponsors that made our Soap Box Derby event on Saturday June 22nd on 6th Avenue another outstanding success:

MAJOR SPONSORS (ALSO WITH KARTS) Beach Grove’s Jace Minni produced one of the biggest wins of his promising golf career, capturing the 36-hole Zone 4 Men’s Amateur with a 6-under total.

I’m a strong wind player, so that gave me an advantage.

“Quilchena was a good course for me since it has trees and it doesn’t play that long. I can hit short iron or wedge into most holes.”

Minni’s busy summer schedule will see him head to Nanoose Bay next for the B.C. Junior Boys Championships (July 2-5).

It’s then off to Pemberton for the B.C. Men’s Amateur (July 9-12).

In August, it will be the Canadian Junior Boys

Championship in Nova Scotia. He will also attend a sectional qualifier for the U.S. Amateur.

Golf has always been a big part of Minni’s life.

His dad Scott is a teaching professional and his sister Amanda is a member of the Oregon State University women’s team.

“I am hoping to get some offers to go play (NCAA) Division One golf in the States,” he added.

“That’s been my goal and dream for a very long time and I feel like I am very capable of doing it.”

The Athletics roster also features: Brian Crarer, Mathias McDonnell, Max Edwards-Ryland, Miles Dowler, Aiden Kneesch, Evan Hooper, Matt McPhie, Jake Weibe, and Trent Wilson. The boys are coached by RJ O’Neil and Ken Crarer, and managed by Shawna Edwards.

Pioneers land National Lacrosse League star MARK BOOTH

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

The Ladner Pioneers have acquired National Lacrosse League star Ryan Benesch.

The 34-year-old Kitchener Ont. native is one of the most prolific scorers in the history of box lacrosse — compiling 1,010 points in 206 NLL games. Last season, he produced 97 points in 18 games between Colorado and Rochester.

The Pioneers purchased Benesch’s playing rights from the Oakville Rock of Ontario’s Major Series Lacrosse League.

He made his debut in Ladner’s 15-6 win over Coquitlam on Sunday night, scoring four goals and adding three assists. He will play two more regular season games — July 11 at home against Langley and two days later in Nanaimo.

That game on the Island is shaping up to be a big one after the Timbermen handed the Pioneers an 8-5 loss on June 17.

Ladner (10-2-0) holds a slim one point

lead, but Nanaimo (9-2-1) is 2-0 in the season series and have now defeated Ladner five straight games, dating back to the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals last August.

“We were already in discussions with Oakville, but let’s just say it solidified the deal,” said Ladner head coach Ross Frehlick. “We were just not good on offence. We went mainly with seven guys and only about two of them showed up.”

The addition of Benesch gives the Pioneers a significant Ontario flavour as they not only try to return to the President’s Cup for the third straight year, but win it in a season dedicated to former player Thomas Haydon who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer last October.

Benesch joins Zach Herreweyers and Luke Wiles who were earlier required by the club.

NLL stars playing senior “B” is nothing new and has almost become a required ingredient to be a national champion.

Benesch won a President’s Cup when

he played for Owen Sound in 2009. Last season, Nanaimo signed Saskatchewan Rush star Jeff Shattler and Cory Conway as President’s Cup hosts.

The Pioneers originally hoped some B.C. born WLA standouts would take the season off to help them with their President’s Cup push. When none of those potential signings materialized it was on to Plan “B” and turning their attention back east.

“We are trying to do something special for Thomas and this is what this season is all about,” said Frehlick. “We have 32 guys right now and seven soon won’t be with us when we have to take our roster down 25.

We are hoping they will play with our ‘C’ team and then be back with us next year.”

The club has also reached agreement with the WLA Langley Thunder for veteran goalie Dan Lewis who will make his Pioneers debut this week.

Ladner last won the President’s Cup in 2004 when Haydon was a member of the team.

Tier One Junior B Islanders finally cooled off by first place Adanacs MARK BOOTH

It took the top team in the BC. Junior B Tier One Lacrosse League to finally cool off the Delta Islanders on Friday night.

The Islanders (10-5-0) saw their seven-game win streak

snapped in a competitive 12-9 loss to Coquitlam.

The Adanacs took a 9-7 lead into the final 20 minutes and earned some breathing room with three unanswered goals before Jackson Tutkaluke and Dylan Nishiyama rounded out the scoring for Delta.
