Gov’t moved by gym program Health minister says Seniors Can Move initiative is ‘something extraordinary’ 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 made-in-Delta gymnastics program that keeps seniors active has scored a perfect 10 from the provincial government.

Health Minister Adrian Dix and Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon were at the Delta Sport Development Centre in Ladner Tuesday morning to announce a $150,000 grant to the Delta Gymnastics Society for its Seniors Can Move program.

Developed by the society in 2018, the program enables seniors to take part in physical activity in a gymnastics setting.

Thanks to the funding, which is provided through Fraser Health, the society will offer the hour-long group class five times a week for the summer and eight times a week in the fall.

The funding announcement coincided with the first day of summer classes that will run until Aug. 29. Classes are open to all Delta seniors and registration is free. The program capacity has grown up to 150 participants.

The classes include simple stretching routines as well as other exercises designed to help improve agility, balance, co-ordination and strength.

“What has happened here in Delta I think is something extraordinary,” said Dix. “I think it is a story we should tell all over the province and I

Lorna Watkins says she has noticed a huge difference in her life since she started the Seniors Can Move program at Delta Gymnastics. think it is something worthy of support. I want to especially acknowledge Delta Gymnastics because what they have done here is truly profound, truly life changing that will not only change lives here in Delta, but all over the province.”

The society will also create a course based on the program that can be replicated at other gymnastics facilities and scale the 10-week program to pilot it at up to 16 other facilities in B.C., with a goal of providing 75 weeks of program delivery through fall 2020.

As well, the society will

bring geriatric professionals, like nurses and physiotherapists, to Delta Gymnastics for specialized consultations to support seniors’ health.

“This program is a game changer, not only for Delta, not only for B.C., but really across the country,” said Kahlon, the parliamentary secretary for sport and multiculturalism. “We have been trying to advance physical literacy across elementary schools and now we can say we are doing that for seniors as well. Hats off to Delta Gymnastics for all the work you have done.

One day we will be able to say that this tidal wave of change started in Delta.”

Delta Gymnastics executive director Ana Arciniega said the society strongly believes that seniors who reconnect with movement are more confident to engage with daily life.

“It provides them with the ability to complete simple to more complex tasks and activities, and more importantly, provides them with the motivation to continue to be active physically, mentally and emotionally,” said Arciniega. “We are so very

grateful to the Ministry of Health and Fraser Health for trusting us with this very generous and forward thinking grant. It will allow us to change the conversation about seniors and their ability to participate in and enjoy a gymnastics program.”

Brenda Hodson, recreation manager at The Waterford in Tsawwassen, said the program has greatly impacted its residents’ lives in the past year.

“Not only with their confidence levels, but with their physical abilities,” she said. “This program has been so beneficial. In the very beginning, we were a bit leery thinking could our seniors aged 70 to 100, can they do it? The answer is absolutely yes they can.”

The Waterford resident Lorna Watkins said she has noticed a huge difference in her life since she started the program.

“I suffer from COPD, which is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Last month I went for my annual breathing test and followed up with the results telling my doctor about the program,” she said. “Since going to this program I can stand up tall, walk distances and breathe normally. My doctor told me my tests were better than last year, which is unheard of and I can just carry on and see him next year with no tests involved. I love it here and I can’t wait for the next session to start.”

15 days not enough as hearing will resume this fall 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

Residents will have to wait until at least October to finish airing their concerns to the Environmental Appeal Board regarding an air quality permit issued to the GFL/Enviro-Smart composting facility in East Ladner.

The hearing wrapped up its scheduled dates on June 28 following 15 days of testimony and cross-examination of GFL/ Enviro-Smart witnesses and resident appellants.

A total of 13 resident appellants had the oppor-

tunity to explain how ongoing odours from the 72nd Street facility have impacted their lives, both historically and as recently as last week. Some of the residents testified how the odour actually increased after GFL bought the Enviro-Smart facility in 2016 and before the air quality permit was issued

by Metro Vancouver in 2018.

The residents submitted evidence showing how Enviro-Smart, along with the City of Delta and Metro Vancouver, dragged out the process for a permit for more than five years. They also pre-

sented evidence from the World Health Organization showing the right of every citizen to breathe clean air.

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 residents are not experts in determining whether the foul odours were coming from GFL or other farming operations in South Delta.

Letcher said the permit is too restrictive, requires too many records and reports that are costly for

GFL, and that GFL should be recognized for its role in building a $37-million enclosed facility.

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.

The remainder of the residents will address the board sometime between October and the end of the year.

Metro Vancouver district director Ray Robb, who issued the permit,

told the Optimist the permit as it is written remains in effect.

“The permit stands as it has been issued and we can enforce that,” said Robb. “I can’t speak to any of the testimony on either side, but until a decision is made by the EAB panel, GFL must abide by the regulations set forth in the permit.”

As for construction of its $37-million facility that must be in place, according to the permit, by March 2020, the Optimist reached out to GFL officials for an update, but did not receive an answer by press deadline.

Former mayor tops list with over $250,000

End of service benefit increases remuneration for council members, including Lois Jackson 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 City of Delta paid out more than $839,000 to its civic politicians in 2018, a figure that was inflated due to the short-lived end of service benefit policy.

Last Monday night, Delta released the council remuneration and expense report for the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2018.

The Community Charter requires that once a year, in an open meeting, a listing of the remuneration received by each member of council is presented.

There was no discussion from council members after they voted to receive the report.

Figures show that former mayor Lois Jackson received more than $250,000 last year. That included $105,157 in remuneration as mayor, $14,797 in car allowance and $124,098 in an end of service benefit. In her new role as councillor, she received $7,019, including $5,823 in remuneration and $1,196 in car allowance.

Boundary Bay metal artist Yorke Graham and his wife Karen have created an art installation that will sit out front of the Andres Homes’ development in the 4700block of 51st Street in Ladner.

Metal artists turn farm equipment into beautiful bouquet in Ladner IAN JACQUES

i j a c q u e s @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .co m

It expects to be quite the eye-turner in Ladner.

An art installation was put in place last Thursday at the site of the Andres Homes’ development on 51st Street.

The work was done by Boundary Bay metal artist Yorke Graham and his wife Karen.

“Ted [Andres] developed the property and asked if Yorke would be interested in making a

sculpture for the space a few years ago,” said Karen, who is also an artist. “Ted got us in touch with a local farmer and Yorke went out to his field and took apart an old 1940s clipper combine and made a number of flowers out of that.”

Yorke describes the piece as an ode to the history, culture and cultural diversity that has shaped the community.

“It’s basically a bouquet,” added Yorke.

A plaque is situated beside the sculpture that

reads: “In gratitude to all whose labour and love cultivated the community of Ladner we call home.”

Yorke said the project has spanned a few years and was completed in the past month.

“She is creative director,” said Yorke of Karen, adding both worked to create the design. “It looks great.

While we were installing it we already had quite a few people walk by and notice it. It’s whimsical and fun, so we’re excited how it came together.”

Tsawwassen’s Crawford now in Order of Canada 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

For his long-lasting contributions as a clinician, educator and historian in the field of dentistry, Tsawwassen’s Patrick Ralph Crawford is one of 83 new appointments to the Order of Canada.

Known to his friends and family as Ralph, the 91-year-old Crawford has lived in South Delta with his wife Olga for the past 20 years.

He said he was overwhelmed when he learned of the appointment.

“It was a classmate of mine from the mid-1960s that made the nomination,” he told the Optimist.

“The Order of Canada is quite an order. I was overwhelmed and terribly honoured.”

When Crawford moved out to Tsawwassen, he was the editor of the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association in Ottawa.

John Horton visits Ottawa for unveiling of painting for Royal Canadian Navy Internationally renowned marine artist John Horton travelled from his home in Tsawwassen last week to unveil his latest painting at the annual Maritime Ball in Ottawa.

Hosted by the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Coast Guard, over 600 people attended the event, including many of the senior admirals and commissioners. The governor general was the special guest of honour.

At the pre ball VIP reception a painting com-

missioned by Federal Fleet Services was presented to the Royal Canadian Navy.

The work, produced by Horton, illustrates a supply ship, MV Asterix, conducting a replenishment at sea of fuel and supplies to Canadian frigates Horton was invited to assist Vice Admiral Art MacDonald, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy, to unveil the painting. It was a special moment for two old shipmates who had served together aboard HMCS

Algonquin in 2002 during Operation Apollo in the Arabian Gulf.

MV Asterix fills the gap left when HMCS Protecteur and HMCS Preserver were decommissioned. Two new replacement ships are being built in North Vancouver. MV Asterix is now resupplying naval vessels in various theatres around the world.

Federal Fleet Services, a consortium that includes Davie Shipyard, converted a container ship to produce the MV Asterix.

Barn in Ladner is engulfed by blaze

Seven years for drug trafficker IAN JACQUES

Delta Fire Department continues to investigate as cause not yet determined 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 cause has yet to be determined as the Delta Fire Department continues to investigate a barn fire last week in Ladner.

The department confirmed with the Optimist the fire is not considered suspicious, but has yet to determine what might have started the blaze last Wednesday evening.

The fire department received a call at 7:41 p.m. of white smoke coming from the old Jersey Farms building on 46A Street.

“Upon arrival, crews observed heavy smoke from the structure and also in the attic space,” said deputy Chief Guy McKintuck.

“The initial call to us came from someone who could smell smoke in the area. When on scene, our members attempted to do an interior fire attack, but the roof started to fail, so they pulled out of the building and went into a defensive attack. They really started to focus on exposure and other structures surrounding and

A barn on 46A Street in rural Ladner was destroyed by fire last Wednesday. joining the main structure.”

McKintuck said 38 firefighters battled the blaze throughout the night and into Thursday morning

with the fire finally contained around 5 a.m.

He said no injuries were reported and animals that were in or around the structure were moved

away from the scene.

Gary Bigger Jr. owns a ranch in the area and was driving down Arthur Drive when he saw the large clouds of smoke.

“I ended up at the roadblock near the fire scene,” he told the Optimist. “The police and firefighters were very professional and not letting anyone in. I showed up with my truck and ropes and I knew there were animals behind the place that was ablaze, but I couldn’t be stopped, so I went through the field and jumped over some fences and found the horses.”

He said the horses were in the backyard, but the wind was shifting and the smoke was getting quite bad.

“The horses were distressed and kicking down fences,” he said.

“It’s not the fire department’s fault that they didn’t get the animals out.

I cleared away probably 13. The horses were safe, but if the wind changed, they could have been killed.”

He said many others were on scene looking to offer assistance.

“That’s probably the greatest part of the story is how so many people from the community came together,” he said.

A Red Scorpion gangster busted last August

by Delta police has been sentenced to more than seven years behind bars after pleading guilty to several charges last week.

Khaadim Kwame Coddett pled guilty in Richmond provincial court to trafficking drugs and possession of a loaded handgun.

Delta police public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said police are pleased with the judge’s decision and the sentence, but could not comment further as there are more accused involved in the file.

Coddett was among seven individuals police arrested and charged in an operation dubbed Project Green Plant, a significant drug line operation based in South Delta.

The Delta police drug section initiated Project Green Planet in March 2017 after police were alerted to the presence of a drug line of the same name.

Murphy’s Law

W

TED MURPHY

ill they return home or have they found a new one?

It’s no secret that when federal elections roll around, voters in these parts have been known to lean to the right. From John Reynolds, Tom Siddon and Stan Wilbee to John Cummins and KerryLynne Findlay, the right-of-centre party of record held sway here for more than 40 years.

That all changed four years ago when thousands of people in South Delta voted Liberal for what’s likely the first time to give Carla Qualtrough a resounding victory. That triumph has created a million-dollar question: Was what happened in 2015 an aberration and will those voters return to their roots or are they comfortable exactly where they find themselves? I’ll give you a definitive answer late on Oct. 21, but in the meantime, it’s worth looking at factors that could come into play.

There was a great deal of animosity directed towards the Conservatives, which turned a 15,000-vote victory for Findlay in Delta-Richmond East in 2011 into a 9,000-vote deficit in the reconfigured riding of Delta in 2015. It’s four years later and both Stephen Harper and Findlay are no longer around, so that anger has almost certainly dissipated which could pave the way for voters to find their way home.

It’s unlikely we’re going to see Scheer-mania sweep the country so I don’t see a bump there, but in former Tsawwassen First Nation legislator Tanya Corbet, the Conservatives have a strong local candidate with deep community roots.

On the other side of the equation, Qualtrough was a virtual unknown when she rode a red wave all the way to Ottawa in the last election, but has since established herself as one of the key members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet.

If traditional Conservative voters that went Liberal last time go blue in October, I don’t think many would do so because they’re dissatisfied with Qualtrough’s performance, but rather because they’re fair weather Liberals and have seen four years of governing take the bloom off Trudeau’s rose.

One certainty in all this conjecture is that Delta will be a battleground this time around as both parties will throw all they’ve got in the hopes they have the right answer to the question.

Summer has arrived so why is hockey still top of mind?

A

hh, the first week of July! It’s marked with Canada Day, the 4th of July and the Tour de Delta. It’s also my favourite time for sports with the Tour de France, Wimbledon and the Open Championship. Not much gets done around my house for the next few weeks, let me tell you.

It’s a bit different this year, though. Hockey is on my mind as well. The last couple of weeks have seen different milestones at different ends of the game, with the draft being held in Vancouver, and Roberto Luongo announcing his retirement.

As a goalie coach, I’ve learned a lot about the position, how to play it (well, at least how to show someone else to play it) and how to analyze it. For all the criticism Luongo received when he was here, he’s an amazing goalie. I saw him during Canucks practices a couple of times — how hard he worked, how smooth he was and how he knew how to get in front of the puck, all skills that make for a great goalie.

Any Canucks fan laments the fact that we lost game 7 to Boston, and many blame Luongo. But a goalie is only as good as the team in from of him (or her). Defence plays a big role in the success of a goalie.

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

Luongo was a gift we had, and let go. My #1 jersey remains, and always will.

Now that he’s retired (sadly, without a Stanley Cup ring), his contribution to hockey, along with a long list of other former players, shapes the future of the game. The players in the draft follow in the footsteps of these great athletes, and much can be learned from them.

I had the honour of coaching a summer goalie camp with Alex Auld, another great Canucks goalie. His knowledge was endless, but his stories were captivating.

He told one story about playing for Wayne Gretzky in Phoenix.

Gretzky’s dad spoke with the players and shared that when Wayne was a kid, he would take a piece of paper, draw a rink on it and follow the puck with a pen

as he watched Hockey Night in Canada. At the end of the period, he looked for where there was overlap, blobs of ink or rips. That was where the puck tended to go. That’s why Gretzky was a step ahead – he knew where the puck would be, not where it had been.

I also had the great pleasure of hearing the late Pat Quinn speak.

He told some great stories about his time as a player, coach and GM in the NHL. He spoke about how a team was a sauce, with all the ingredients having to work together. Even the best ingredients, in the wrong sauce, could ruin the outcome. I still talk about that one.

In our goalie camps, we talk a lot about what it takes to get to the next level, to make a team or become a professional. There is a lot to learn from those who have walked that path. In hockey, and in life, we all come up against struggles and need a little inspiration to get through it.

I hope Lu knows there’s always a place for him in Vancouver. I’m all ears.

Container capacity available without adding Terminal 2

Editor: Re: No time to be wrong, Murphy’s Law, June 27 Thank you for your thoughtful opinion piece concerning the second container terminal at Roberts Bank. Much of what you say is right on the money, but I would like to take issue with two points.

In your opening you say Terminal 2 is the only one that would be ready on time. If you are talking about West Coast Canada, that is not correct. Prince Rupert’s container terminal, operated by DP World, is in the midst of an already approved expansion that will be complete by 2022.

And there is more.

Prince Rupert and its operator recently announced it will expand

its container capacity to between six and seven million containers (TEUs).

It also said that it expects to build a second terminal on South Kaien Island that will add another 2.5 million containers and that if the traffic warrants that can be ready by 2025.

All that will be done with private/corporate funds, unlike the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 that would be built with government - read taxpayer - funds (since the port authority is a government entity and all assets and revenues are Canada’s).

Later you also suggest there is a coming container capacity crunch on the West Coast and T2 is the only one that can address that shortage. That is incorrect on two counts.

First with announced

expansions at three Vancouver terminals plus the aforementioned Prince Rupert expansion, West Coast Canada is not facing a capacity crunch.

Second, most, if not all, of the recent expansion in container volumes is driven by U.S. import and export containers. The U.S. container traffic adds nothing to the Canadian economy and can easily be diverted to U.S. ports should the need arise. The Prince Rupert port operator has already stated that should there be a need it will divert U.S. containers so that Canadian trade is not impacted.

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority keeps singing that same song but they are out of tune with reality.

Owner grateful for all the help chasing dog

Editor: From the Albertan in the silver grey Ford Escape driving around like a crazy women chasing a little black dog in East Ladner on Tuesday, June 25, I want to thank all the people who gave chase with me and tried to catch Cali.

I was beside myself. I let the dog out and didn’t realize the back gate was open. She looked at me and made a dash for it.

To the women who drove around with her children and encouraged one of her children to try

and catch Cali, a huge heartfelt thank you to all of you.

To the Delta service worker who caught up in the chase, thank you very much. I lost Cali when I got in the right turn lane and she went left on Ladner Trunk Road. I had to turn right and ended up on the highway. That’s when I lost it and thought the worst.

By the time I made it back around I was at a loss to where to even start looking for her. As I rounded the corner on

62nd Street in tears I saw the Delta truck with the kind-hearted man who tried to help catch the dog and a bylaw officer standing on the road. Fearing the worst, I braced myself and was told the dog was at home with its owner.

Thank you for all you did to have it come out with a happy ending. It warms my heart to know there are still a lot of kind hearted people in this world.

To all of you, a huge hug and thank you.

Teacher deserves serious penalty for comments Editor: Re: Teacher suspended for comments to student, June 13 The shocking reported comment of “Go kill yourself” by a local teacher to discipline a student is beyond all acceptable limits.

This behaviour must be strongly condemned as an act of hate and harm which threatens the safety of the community.

The suspension is greatly inadequate considering the seriousness of the verbal attack.

The parents, families

and residents of Delta need to be assured of the safety of students in classrooms.

This teacher’s extreme verbal attack needs a very serious penalty to protect students and defend social contract of our society.

Delta leaders told to check out paving in Point Roberts Editor: There has been some fresh pavement laid in Point Roberts recently.

I would like to invite our mayor and the superintendent of roads to take a drive there to experience and appreci-

ate how smoothly asphalt paving can actually be done. Contrast this with the way it is done in Delta.

I would also invite them to ride their bikes along 53A Street between 12th and 16th avenues to feel the bone-jarring condi-

tion of that street or just stop midway and listen to the sound of vehicles thumping along through the couple dozen or more poorly repaired road cuts and potholes in just four blocks.

Neighbourly spirit alive on Canada Day in Tsawwassen

Editor: We have just returned from the Canada Day celebration at Diefenbaker Park. It was a great celebration and I wanted to

thank the many individual men and women who stopped to help with my husband’s wheelchair when we 80-plus-year-olds would get stuck in a rut in

the grass or pathway.

It was a great three hours of entertainment and without you, we wouldn’t have made it.

Liberals made ALR rules Paton concerned about

Minister says NDP hasn’t curbed fun on farmland LANA POPHAM

M i n i s t e r o f Ag r i c u l t u re

Re: Agri-tourism industry and summer fun under attack, MLA’s Report, June 27 Delta South MLA Ian Paton seems to have a rather long list of concerns about the rules around events and serving food in the Agricultural Land Reserve. But the fact is, Paton and his colleagues are playing fast and loose with the truth — it was their own government that created those rules.

The only change we’ve made is to allow all alcohol producers on the ALR the same opportunities that previously were afforded only to vineyard owners. That means better experiences for those visiting farms and more opportunities for farmers.

In September, I always look forward to visiting Westham Island Herb Farm in Delta for their Day at the Farm event. This annual tradition provides Lower Mainland residents with an opportunity to reconnect with the land that feeds them. From learning about chickens and the variety of crops grown in the region to meeting a dairy farmer and going on a hay ride, this event is a great way to celebrate B.C. agriculture.

The current rules on events in the ALR were

introduced by the previous government in 2016. They have not changed. People wanting to hold larger events can apply to the independent Agricultural Land Commission. The organizers of B.C. Hop Fest said publicly they were encouraged to apply but chose not to.

When it comes to restaurants, they have always required a decision from

Paton voted against those changes.

When they were in government, they axed the popular Buy BC program that helped farmers market their products as “B.C. grown” to stand out from cheaper overseas produce.

We’ve brought it back.

And we’ve started a Feed BC pilot program in the Interior to increase the amount of B.C. food in our

the ALC to operate on the ALR. That’s nothing new.

The only exception to that was wineries — they got to serve food on the ALR. But the old government ignored our thriving craft beer industry and left out breweries and distilleries.

People can now enjoy a bite to go with B.C.’s best craft beer and spirits when they’re out for a tasting.

Paton and his colleagues repeatedly failed to stand up for farmers.

We made changes to keep farmland affordable for farmers. We’ve also cracked down on garbage dumping and banned mega-mansions on farmland, while supporting multigenerational families.

hospitals. We’re going to be expanding it elsewhere in the province — it means more opportunities for producers and better hospital food for people.

I am open to considering whether we need to make more changes to the old government’s rules to better support producers, while ensuring we continue to protect our valuable farmland. I encourage Paton to reach out to work together — it will be to the benefit of his constituents.

I will keep working to help farmers farm so British Columbians can rely on a safe supply of locally grown and raised food now, and for generations to come.

Amazon provides sneek peek of massive TFN fulfillment centre SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s a big — and we mean really big — facility that will create hundreds of jobs close to home.

Representatives with Amazon gave a sneak peek last month inside the company’s sprawling facility at the Tsawwassen First Nation. Currently undergoing interior construction, it’s set to open sometime later this year.

The e-commerce giant announced last September a plan to open a 450,000-square-foot fulfillment centre at the new Delta iPort warehouse on 41B Street on TFN industrial lands.

Located across the street from the new Canada Border Services Agency’s container inspection facility, the facility is to create almost 800 jobs.

According to Amazon, full-time employees receive competitive hourly wages, medical, vision and dental coverage, a group

Amazon continues to work on its 450,000-square-foot fulfillment centre.

RRSP plan, stock awards and bonuses.

Amazon already has centres in Delta and New Westminster, although this marks the first time the company will open a distribution facility on First Nation land.

The new facility, which will operate 24 hours a day on 10-hour shifts, will be the company’s 10th in Canada. Amazon also employs 1,500 people at its

tech hub in Vancouver.

Delta iPort is an industrial park developed by GWL Realty Advisors on behalf of project owner, the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan. TFN and HOOPP signed a 60-year lease on the 23.3-acre parcel. It was noted the proximity of TFN’s industrial lands to Deltaport and major arterials will provide Amazon, as well as all current and future

TFN tenants, with a critical logistics solution for the Metro Vancouver market.

Steve Stark, a member of TFN’s executive council, said the First Nation is strategically setting itself up for global markets and is actively looking for more partnerships.

Prior to the tour, Amazon announced a $10,000 donation to Reach Child and Youth Development Society.

The Ladner Safeway will close its doors next weekend.

Sobeys Inc. announced earlier this year the locations of its first 10 FreshCo locations in B.C., including the conversion of the Safeway store in Trenant Park Square. The store will reopen this fall under the new brand.

“The Ladner Safeway store will remain open until July 13, 2019, at which point, the store will close for renovations before opening as FreshCo in fall 2019,” a statement to the Optimist noted. “We’re committed to providing our valued Safeway customers the same level of great service until July 13th and thank them for their loyalty shopping with Safeway.”

The company says it’s excited to introduce FreshCo to Western

Canada and provide products at “market-leading low prices.”

Sobeys, which is owned

by Empire Company Ltd., owns or franchises several grocery chains, including Thrifty Foods, IGA, Price Chopper, FreshCo and Foodland.

An earlier news release from the company stated it plans to convert 25 per cent of its 255 underperforming stores into FreshCo locations over the next four to five years.

The first three FreshCo stores in B.C. opened in May in Mission and Richmond, while others will open soon, including the former Safeway at Strawberry Hill in Surrey.

Five years ago, Sobeys sold the Tsawwassen Safeway to the Overwaitea Food Group.

The Safeway at 64th Avenue at Scott Road in North Delta remains and Empire isn’t saying if it will also eventually convert.

Delta police committed to authentic inclusion

Dep’t is all about creating an environment of acceptance, where people can be their true self

DPD Strong

CHIEF NEIL DUBORD

Diversity is a part of who we are as Canadians.

We pride ourselves on the mosaic of our communities: from ethnicity and culture, to religion and sexual orientation, we accept everyone for their differences.

As police officers, there

are times that we witness something that disrupts that collective belief; some act of hate or intolerance reminds us that while we are diverse, we have work to do to be authentically inclusive of people different from ourselves.

Authentic inclusion is not diversity, it is about creating an environment of acceptance, where people can be their true self. It is not simply about accepting differences, but celebrating those differences and recognizing the value that life experiences can bring to a community, a social network or an organization.

Diversity, particularly in a work environment, can be created through strategy, policy and legislation.

It can form the basis for hiring practices and it is prevalent in recruiting strategies virtually across all sectors.

We work hard at trying to represent our community — all of our community. But while organizations focus on diversity, the real work and the true value lies in inclusivity.

The Delta Police Department strives to be authentically inclusive.

Not just for ourselves, but for the people we serve.

We are not perfect but we are absolutely committed; and it starts with training and education.

The Delta police was one of the first agencies in B.C. to conduct formal and mandatory training on “bias free” policing.

Summer CounterAttack underway 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

Every year in B.C. an average of 68 people are killed in impaired driving crashes, with 40 per cent of those deaths occurring in the summer.

During a press conference in Vancouver last Thursday, police, ICBC, the provincial government and community partners launched the start of the summer CounterAttack campaign in B.C. Motorists will see an increase in the number of officers conducting road checks.

“We all have someone who wants us to get home safe,” said Delta police Chief Neil Dubord, chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police’s traffic safety committee.

“Children want their parents to get home safe.

Parents want their teenagers to get home safe.

Friends want their buddies to get home safe.”

Last weekend DPD dealt with nine suspected impaired drivers on local roads.

“Drivers who’ve had too much to drink are a leading cause of crashes, injuries and deaths on B.C. roads,” said A/Sgt. Derek Gallamore.

Five drivers registered fail when blowing in approved screening devices, including: • A driver in Tsawwassen who jumped the curb while making a turn from 53A Street onto 12th Avenue.

• Two drivers stopped on Scott Road in North Delta.

• A driver on Ladner Trunk Road going below the speed limit and striking the curb.

• A driver who Emergency Health Services called to report passed out in their vehicle on a rural road in Ladner.

Although there is an

administrative penalty available to police (where drivers are prohibited from driving for 90 days and their vehicles are impounded), police are considering recommending criminal impaired driving charges against four of the drivers.

The curriculum focuses on creating awareness of implicit biases in ourselves and how we must learn to recognize them and, most importantly, ensure that we are not allowing any personal biases we may have to direct our behaviours.

Every person our officers — and staff — come into contact should be

treated with the same level of dignity and respect.

Period.

June was Pride Month and it was also the month in which the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics took place.

While vastly different from each other, these events encourage empathy, understanding and inclu-

sion.

Delta police openly supports and participates in a variety of cultural celebrations and community events not only because we value our relationships with the public, but because we want to deliver a message: that we believe in diversity and espouse the principles of authentic inclusion.

Beach Grove students up to challenge Ride a stuffy at Mills to benefit African charity

IAN JACQUES

Students from Beach Grove Elementary were recognized for their climate leadership initiatives last week by the City of Delta.

Several students from Dale Cotter’s Grade 5 class were on hand at the June 24 Delta council meeting to receive kudos from Mayor George Harvie and council as this year’s winners of the Cool It climate leadership challenge.

Harvie said this is the 10th year Delta has participated in the challenge, which is an interactive environmental workshop and contest for students in grades 4 to 7.

Sponsored by the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association, the program discusses the effects of climate change and challenges students to commit to actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency and conservation solutions.

Mayor George Harvie presents students from Dale Cotter’s Grade 5 class at Beach Grove Elementary with a certificate of recognition as this year’s winners of the Cool it climate leadership challenge.

“The program encourages students to work together with their families to reduce energy use while learning about the positive and negative impacts we have on the environment,” said Harvie.

“More than 290 Delta students participated in

the workshops this year resulting in over 40,700 actions completed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 220 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

That is amazing. That is equal to taking 42 cars off the road.”

Harvie called the stu-

dents up from the gallery who were able to attend and presented them with a class certificate of achievement.

“Congratulations to all of you for your efforts.

We hope to see you in the contest again next year,” said Harvie.

A local group of students is working with the Tsawwassenbased Tekera Foundation to raise money for an African charity.

Horsing Around in Delta How to saddle a horse safely

Horses are magnificent animals and loyal companions who can successfully handle their share of the workload in various capacities. Learning how to properly saddle a horse is essential for anyone who hopes to ride regularly.

The techniques discussed here apply to western saddling, which is the primary way many people saddle their horses for riding. British riding requires different saddling and equipment.

EQUINE ESSENTIALS

One of the first steps is to make sure the horse is clean and comfortable. Remember to always approach the animal from an angle at which he can see you clearly, so there are no surprises.

TACK & LAUNDRY SERVICES

All dirt, dust and loose hair should be removed from the horse through brushing, with particular attention paid to the areas where the saddle will sit and where the cinches and breast collar will cover.

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

It’s best to properly tie the horse with a halter and lead rope, which can be held by an assistant or ground-tied. This prevents the horse from moving around too much.

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

Brush off the underside of the saddle pad or blanket to ensure there are no sharp objects or irritants stuck in the fibers, which can make the horse uncomfortable. In such situations, the horse may try to shake to relieve the discomfort, tossing riders off in the process.

Move the front cinch, back cinch and breast collar of the saddle onto the seat of the saddle to keep them out of the way while you put the saddle in place on the horse. This ensures that the equipment doesn’t slide and spook the horse. Many riders mount and dismount their horses from the left side, so push the items to the right to keep them situated. Then adjust the girth cinches and stirrups accordingly.

After the saddle is in place, step back and look things over. Make sure everything is properly tightened before riding.

By saddling a horse safely and correctly, riders can prevent injuries resulting from restless horses or loose saddles. Novice riders should practice to get a feel for saddling.

reject God to pursue our own agendas. The wage of sin is death — physical and spiritual.

Sin is so powerful a force in our lives and in the world that even our best attempts to remove it through good works will

fail. By ourselves, humans are held helplessly in sin’s grip.

The good news is that God has not let things stay this way. Through Jesus Christ, God has forgiven your sin. When Jesus died on the cross, your sin was put to death with him, and when Christ was raised, eternal life to you was gifted.

When you trust and believe that through Christ your sins are forgiven, you can take blessed assurance that your sins are truly forgiven and that sin’s power has been rendered powerless.

When God’s forgiveness and promise through Jesus is truly believed and trusted, a transformed life follows.

“Sin” isn’t a popular word these days. When someone starts talking about sin, many are inclined to tune out and dismiss the speaker as some kind of Biblethumping religious fanatic.

But sin is serious business that we cannot make go away by denying its existence.

Lutheran Christians understand sin not just as acts of wrong-doing, but as a “power.” Sin is a state of being into which we are born, imbedded in our nature, and hence, is “original.”

Put bluntly, we are not sinners because we sin, but we sin because we are sinners — creatures who, following in the footsteps of Adam and Eve, willfully

Deas Island dancers on the move Dance studio moving into 8,000-square-foot facility at Tsawwassen Commons 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

Deas Island Dance is on the move.

The dance studio will be moving into a new 8,000-square-foot performing arts facility at Tsawwassen Commons.

The facility will include five state-of-the-art studios.

“Our school is continuing to grow each year and we have simply outgrown our current location,” said director Lesley Benham.

“It is very exciting to see our community embracing performing arts so enthusiastically and we are thrilled to be able to create a home for young dancers and performers in South Delta.”

Benham said during 22 years at its current location in Ladner, students and teachers have been part of a number of individual and collective achievements, scholarships and awards.

Many alumni have carried on in dance-related fields studying, performing, choreographing and teaching. Graduates have seen opportunities with such schools and companies as The National Ballet of Canada, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Disney Cruise Lines, Lamondance and Martha Graham 2.

Recently, four students successfully auditioned for international summer programs.

Deas Island Dance ballet dancers Ingrid Parker, Ariel Priebe, Callea Savady and Emma Tomlinson have successfully auditioned for international summer programs. program at the Royal Ballet School in London, England, while Callea Savady is returning for her second summer at The National Ballet of Canada in Toronto. Ariel Priebe and Ingrid Parker have both been accepted to the Alberta Ballet School in Edmonton.

“There is a lot of schools trying out for these positions, so it’s quite an achievement for all of them,” said Benham.

She attributes the con-

tinued success of their dancers to the incredible teamwork at Deas Island Dance.

Benham said students, teachers, parents and administration work together to ensure each dancer has a rewarding experience.

“Success for me is not just do the dancers get a career out of this, but what else do they get out of their dance training,” she said. “Students gain so much from dance,

including commitment, cognitive and emotional development, confidence, creativity, perseverance, respect, resilience as well as lifelong friendships.

“The bonds that these dancers form is incredible. It’s a commitment that they give balancing academics and their training, but we offer full-time and part-time classes. I really enjoy that about the school because there really is a place for everyone.”

Benham said the new

facility at Tsawwassen Commons will result in more opportunities for local students from preschool to pre professional programs as well as an expanded adult dance program.

“We will continue to offer top notch dance and performing arts programming for all students,” she said. “We are so excited for the future and to have a truly professional facility for our students and teachers to call home.”

Teenage pianist is taking his talents to New York 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’s Joshua Tromans is taking his piano talents to the big stage in New York.

Tromans was the first prize winner of the 2019 Steinway Junior Piano Competition in May. Among other prizes, he gets the chance to perform at the world famous Steinway Hall in New York July 7 and 8.

“I’m very excited to take the stage,” said the 14-year-old. “I’ll also take part in some master class-

es as well.”

Mom Jullie said she is thrilled by her son’s continued development.

“I’m very proud. He has been working very hard and every year he develops a lot,” she said. “It’s very exciting when he wins a competition like this one in New York. It’s gratifying to see that his hard work is paying off.”

Tromans comes from a long line of artists in his family, both musically and artistically.

“He has always loved music, even when he was a baby,” she said. “He

wanted to learn piano when he was three-yearsold. Once he started he just developed so much.

Now he practices as much as he can and we’re all excited about what more he can do.”

Before heading to New York, he performed at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver as one of the past winners of the VSO School of Music’s Future of Excellence Competition.

Earlier this year he performed with the Richmond Orchestra in the 10th annual Rising Stars concert.

If you love Point Roberts, or just like checking out other people’s cottage chic, head down to Maple Beach next weekend for a self-guided tour.

It’s been 20 years since the last cottage tour in Maple Beach, so the time seemed right to invite the public to visit the charming beachside enclave on Boundary Bay. The 2019 Maple Beach Cottage Tour is Saturday, July 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Twenty Maple Beach cottage owners are opening their doors to the public, who will be able to explore everything from vintage originals and mindful renovations to historic cabins and newly-built modern beach homes.

“It’s a great community event, a way for neighbours to get know each

other and for members of the public to get acquainted with what Point Roberts has to offer,” said Fralic.

“And, of course, it’s perfect for all those lookie-loos on the hunt for decorating ideas.”

Tickets for the selfguided tour are $10 (cash only). For tickets, contact Fralic at shelleyfralic@ gmail.com.

Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Point Roberts charitable organizations.

Professional cyclists will race through Ladner Village on Saturday evening.

Races in all three communities

Here’s a look at the three races that make up the Tour de Delta: • The weekend begins on Friday evening with the North Delta Criterium.

Having replaced the raceagainst-the-clock prologue and the hill climb prior to that, the North Delta crit has become a hit with fans as riders can reach speeds up to 70 km/h on a downhill section of the 1.2-kilometre course.

The women will complete 35 laps, while the men will do 40 laps of the

6A Ave, 7 Ave, Gilchrist Pl, 7B Ave

circuit that starts and finishes on 84th Avenue, just west of 114th Street.

• Saturday evening’s Ladner Criterium will see riders tackle a 900-metre loop on the streets of Ladner Village with the start/finish line on Delta Street near Bridge Street.

The women will do 45 laps of the course while the men will do 60, meaning they will zip by every minute or so.

• The weekend concludes on Sunday with the marathon-like White

Spot | Delta Road Race in Tsawwassen.

The start and finish lines will once again be at Dennison Park, and with the course divided into two separate loops, it will see riders pass by the park every eight minutes or so.

The women are expected to be on the course for about two-and-a-half hours as they race for 103.6 kilometres, while the men will need about three-and-a-half hours to cover a 155.4-kilometre course.

Tour de Delta

Wheel-to-wheel action on Delta’s streets

Now in its 19th year, popular cycling weekend features three races as well as community activities More than 200 professional cyclists from all over North America and around the globe will converge on Delta this weekend to kick off Canada’s biggest professional road cycling series.

The Tour de Delta begins BC Superweek, a nine-race series that takes riders to six different communities throughout the Lower Mainland over a 10-day period.

The Tour de Delta is made up of three races: evening criteriums on Friday, July 5 in North Delta and Saturday, July 6 in Ladner as well as the UCI-sanctioned White Spot | Delta Road Race on Sunday, July 7 in Tsawwassen.

“Over the years, the communities of North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen have been incredibly welcoming to all the teams and cyclists to open BC Superweek,” says BC Superweek series director Mark Ernsting.

“It’s excellent to see the cooperation and collabo-

As such, the Tour de Delta continues to grow year after year.”

Now in its 19th year, the Tour de Delta is more than just professional cyclists going wheel-to-wheel as there are races for the kids

and community festivals being held throughout the weekend.

“The Tour de Delta has become a major signifier that summer has arrived in Delta. The atmosphere across our communities is festive as cyclists and spectators from around the world take part in this

truly thrilling cycling spectacle,” says Mayor George Harvie.

“On behalf of Delta council, we are grateful to the outstanding athletes and fans, as well as our tremendous City of Delta staff and volunteers, that help realize this fantastic annual event.”

The UCI-sanctioned White Spot | Delta Road Races offers fans and aspiring cyclists an opportunity to see elite professional athletes representing their countries. The men and women wearing Team Canada jerseys will look to accumulate points with an eye on interna-

tional competitions like the Olympic Games.

“The White Spot | Delta Road Race is a unique chance to see teams and cyclists who have traveled from across Canada and the United States, and around the world, to compete here in the Lower Mainland,” says Ernsting.

Nine-race BC Superweek gets rolling this weekend in Delta The Tour de Delta gets the wheels rolling on BC Superweek, a series of nine races over 10 days throughout the Lower Mainland.

With a total prize purse of more than $140,000, BC Superweek has established itself as one of the most prestigious cycling series in North America.

The series gets rolling this weekend with the three-race Tour de Delta, which includes the North Delta Criterium on Friday evening, the Ladner Criterium on Saturday

Riders get a day off on Monday before a grueling stretch of six races in six days begins on Tuesday, July 9 with the New West Grand Prix, the most recent addition to the cycling series.

That is followed by the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix on Wednesday, July 10. One of the most historic cycling events in North America with crowds in excess of 20,000, the race boasts the highest

one-day prize purse for a Canadian criterium.

The Giro di Burnaby, a criterium on the streets of Burnaby Heights, is scheduled for Thursday, July 11, while the Poco Grand Prix takes place Friday, July 12.

BC Superweek concludes with the Tour de White Rock, which includes the Choices Markets Criterium on Saturday, July 13 and the Westminster Savings Road Race on Sunday, July 14.

Ryan is returning to Delta after clean sweep in 2018

The Tour de Delta has become a favourite among riders, including Ventura, California’s Kendall Ryan, who won all three races last year. It kicked off a run that saw her win five times and reach the podium on six occasions during BC Superweek.

“Last year I showed up to BC Superweek with a pretty ruthless mindset. I knew I felt good, having Pro Nationals the week before. I was extremely frustrated with my performance there and how the races played out in both the crit and road race. I think I just had something to prove to myself and I was going to try to win as many races as I could,” explained Ryan, who rides for TIBCO – Silicon Valley Bank and is a three-time U.S. national champion.

It was Ryan’s familiarity with all three Tour de Delta courses that led to the trio of wins a year ago. She is a back-toback winner of the White Spot | Delta Road Race in

Californian Kendall Ryan won all three races at last year’s Tour de Delta, including the White Spot | Delta Road Race.

Tsawwassen.

“The White Spot | Delta Road Race has to be one of my personal favourites.

It is a course that suits my strengths and it is also a race where you have to really pay attention. It has so many corners, flowing terrain, technical bits and a long drawn out sprint where it’s important to have good timing,” said the 26-year-old who was born into a family of cyclists.

“It really is such a great course, the loops are like the shape of a butterfly. I love how sprinters like me can hang on the short hills for a bunch sprint or how a breakaway can get out of sight with all the turns.”

Although she’s been dominant over the last two years at the White Spot | Delta Road Race, Ryan is a pure sprinter with speed to burn. It means all eyes will be on her as a major player at the North Delta and Ladner criteriums.

“North Delta is a hard course. Last year my teammate Emily Newsome and

I ended up in a breakaway; we took the first downhill left hand turn as fast as we could on every lap to save energy for the uphill drag on the other side of the course. It’s a battle to the last turn with the finish line less than 100 metres after it.”

Ryan said the Ladner Criterium looks simple on the map, but it’s not.

“The start/finish straightaway is about half the size of the back straight, which makes for some difficult maneuvering for the finish. That course is all about fighting for position into the final corners. The finish line is pretty far from the last corner, which suits my sprint well.”

After taking a break from cycling in April at her home base in California, Ryan took part in USA Cycling Pro Road Championships in Tennessee before heading north to defend her titles at the Tour de Delta and BC Superweek.

Delta Tigers got past Abbotsford on Saturday morning on their way to second place finish at the Kyle Losse Memorial Tournament.

TigersfalljustshortatLossetourney White Rock Tritons capture Bantam AAA event with win over hosts in title MARK BOOTH

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

It was a fitting end to another five fabulous days of baseball at the second annual Kyle Losse Memorial Bantam AAA Tournament.

The Tsawwassen teen, who tragically passed away from complications of a massive stroke in January 2018, would have been in his second season with the host Delta Tigers. The other Bantam AAA program he considered going to was the White Rock Tritons.

The respective B.C. Minor and B.C. Premier powerhouse teams met in Monday’s championship game with the Tritons defeating the Tigers 8-3 at Winskill Park.

It was White Rock’s second win over Delta after opening the tournament with a 5-1 decision in round-robin play last Thursday.

In that game, the Tritons filled out their line-up with some top Bantam age talent that had already made the leap to their PBL junior team.

The rematch saw the Tritons lean on their regulars — led by starting pitcher Jordan Tishler who worked into the sixth and surrendered just one run.

Nathaniel Factor recorded the final five outs. Much of their offensive damage was done early on, opening up a 6-1 lead after three innings.

It was to the Tigers’ credit they worked their way back to the final after the opening game loss.

They took care of B.C. Minor rivals North Shore (10-3) and Abbotsford (11-0), setting the stage for Saturday night’s key encounter with PBL regular season frontrunners Langley Blaze.

The Tritons provided some help by toppling the Blaze 8-0, with runs against being the tiebreaker.

Delta and Langley battled to a 2-2 tie in 10 innings — giving the Tigers the nod to join the Tritons in the semi-finals. The hosts produced the tying run in the fifth, when Taiyo Boily stole home with two outs, and leaned on outstand-

ing pitching from Ryan Heppner and Noah Cassie.

It was then off to Monday’s semi-finals where more excellent mound work from Carson Latimer and Everett Swaim led Delta to an 8-3 win over the PBL’s North Shore Twins.

It was the second runner-up finish for the Tigers in as many tournaments after falling to Alberta’s Okotokos Academy back in May at the Langley Blaze invitational. There also was a 1-0 semifinal loss at the 14-team Best of the West in Kamloops in April.

Tigers head coach Cam Frick is hoping his team’s consistency will pay off with two big tournaments in the next month — the B.C. Minor and Baseball B.C. Championships.

“The one thing between all three of those tournaments is we have been the only team that has been there on the last day. So that’s something to build off of,” said Frick. “We have some things to work on the next few weeks but we are excited for (the B.C. Minor) provincials that are four weeks from now and will take place right here.”

Frick admitted the 10-inning battle with Langley took his pitching depth further than what he had initially planned out but he also believes his mound talent is deeper than previous years.

“I had to burn Heppner and Cassie yesterday. That was tough.

Ideally we only use one of those guys and the other starts the final but it is what it is,” added Frick.

(Championship game starter) Hayden (Cuthbertson) probably has the best stuff out of anyone on our team. It’s just the consistency and that comes from not throwing a lot this season or even last with our Bantam AA team.”

Extra Bases…

Heppner, who grew up with Losse coming through Tsawwassen Baseball, was named the tournament’s MVP for his allround play. The Tritons’ Brady Wastila earned the Top Batter Award.

FollowYourDreamtourneyhonoursSDSSalumni

The fourth annual Graeme Carswell “Follow Your Dreams” Soccer Tournament and evening fundraiser took place last Saturday with many friends and alumni in attendance.

Carswell was 21 when he lost his life in a tragic fishing accident on the Chilliwack River. At the time, he was following his dreams of playing for Canada when he travelled to Holland to further his skills.

It didn’t take long for his hometown

and beyond to find ways to honour the national level field hockey standout and all-round athlete.

The Sun Devils soccer program created an alumni game and social evening with all proceeds going to the Graeme Carswell Follow Your Dreams Award. This year, there are two recipients — Emily Birarda and Connor Nelson.

“We appreciate the wonderful support from our community in remembrance

Top scorer & goaltender dealt

by Junior Islanders at deadline

Brody Harris should get his first taste of B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League playoff action.

The Delta Islanders third-year netminder has been traded to the Victoria Shamrocks for a second round pick in the 2020 BCJALL Midget Draft.

The Ladner native was named goalie of the year in the former B.C. Intermediate “A” Lacrosse League before aging up to join the Islanders in 2017.

Despite his steady work, Delta will miss the playoffs for the third straight season and enter the final week of league play with a 3-15-0 record.

Last summer, Harris backstopped Canada to the IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship in Saskatoon, earning alltournament honours.

The Shamrocks currently sit second in the BCJALL with a 13-5-0 record.

Harris’ Team Canada teammate Haiden Dickson is also on the move. Delta’s

Islanders leading scorer Haiden Dickson has joined the Coquitlam Adanacs for the balance of the season. leading scorer was dealt to the defending league champion and first place Coquitlam Adanacs for future considerations.

Dickson’s 45 goals in 18 games is only one off the league lead. The Delta Lacrosse product still has two more years of junior eligibility remaining.

Harris and Dickson’s playing rights will revert back to the Islanders for the 2020 campaign.

In a third deal prior to

the July 1 deadline, the Islanders sent veteran defender Riley Merritt to New West for the playing rights to Max Duchnycz, Will Carriere and a 2022 fifth round midget draft pick. Duchnycz currently plays for New West’s Junior “B” Tier One team.

Carriere was taken 31st overall in this year’s midget draft.

Merritt was acquired from Coquitlam in the offseason for Connor Evers.

DeltaGymnasticsofftoAustriaforWorldGymnaestrada A team from Delta Gymnastics is headed to Austria for the World Gymnaestrada.

Held every four years, it is similar to the Olympics and attracts over 21,000 participants.

Delta Gymnastics will be representing Team Canada and is one of more than 60 countries in the non-competitive FIG Gymnastics-for-All event.

Participation is for everyone regardless of gender, age, cultural background and ability. Gymnaestrada is a unique form of gymnastics that weaves music to a choreographed performance that combines dance, acrobatics, and gymnastics, with participants of various ages and skill levels.

“Gymnaestrada focuses on mass participation and the goal is to promote and encourage joy in movement,” explains Jenn Watts-Turner, Delta Gymnastics Gymnaestrada Program Coordinator.

“Teams can be as small as 10 gymnasts or as many as 100 and performances can range in duration from 3.5 minutes for smaller teams to 15 minutes for larger teams. It is thrilling to watch!”

The Delta Gymnastics team ranges in age from 11 to 70 plus

A team from Delta Gymnastics will be representing Canada at the World Gymnaestrada in Austria, July 7-13. The event is held every four years and will feature over 60 countries. years and includes coaches, competitive gymnasts, recreational and high school participants and spouses.

Team members come from

many backgrounds including dance, cheer, competitive gymnastics, tumbling and more.

Each person brings something special to the team which allows

for a very rich and multi-faceted performance.

“The Delta Gymnastics Gymnaestrada team has been training for four years to get

to this point and it is incredibly exciting to see how far the team has advanced,” added Watts. “We are proud to represent Team Canada and Delta Gymnastics at this world-wide event.”

The World Gymnaestrada celebrates diversity, cooperation and community.

This festival has been said to play an important role in promoting a philosophy that focuses less on being better than someone but celebrating the differences, collaboration and teamwork on a social and physical level. Gymnaestrada had been credited with encouraging huge numbers of people to find enjoyment in a discipline of gymnastics in a non-competitive and collaborative way.

“We love offering Gymnaestrada at our gym as it gives participants a chance to bond and experience the camaraderie and pleasure of performing as one team,” says Ana Arciniega, Executive Director at Delta Gymnastics. “It is a celebration of movement that encourages creativity for male and female gymnasts of all ages and abilities.”

The World Gymnaestrada will take place from July 7-13.

WILLIAMSON, Ross Edward Born in Vancouver, October 26, 1955 MANNERING, Mark Ernest March 26, 1949 - June 24, 2019 After a challenging struggle with aggressive brain cancer over the past year and a half, Mark passed away peacefully at the Irene Thomas Hospice Residence on the morning of June 24th. He will be missed greatly by many friends, relatives, fishing buddies, neighbours, ex-students from his teaching y e a r s a n d e s p e c i a l l y h i s f a m i l y, w i f e , A n n a , daughter, Tammi (Doug Thompson), son Todd (Amber), grandson (Lincoln), and our dog Emma who together shared cherished daily walks. Mark is survived by his sister, Cheryl Ingram (Gerry) and predeceased by his father Charlie Mannering, mother Jean Cather Mannering and youngest sister Wendy Mannering Jorgenson. We feel all those who have gone ahead before will be welcoming him home with open arms. He often talked about seeing our previous Irish Setter, Cedar with whom he was extremely close and had many memorable walks along the beaches and fields in Point Roberts and the North 40. May he enjoy good health and good company in the heavenly realms.

We thank the staff at Irene Thomas Hospice Residence, Delta Hospice Society for such wonderful and compassionate care they gave. The family requests that a donation please be made to them, in lieu of flowers, at Irene Thomas Hospice Residence, Delta Hospice, 4635 Clarence Taylor Crescent, Delta, BC, V4K 4L8. A Celebration of Life will follow at a later date.

After a courageous battle with cancer, passed away June 22, 2019 at 63 years of age.

Predeceased by his parents Bill and Jessie Williamson, father-in-law Gordon Damgaard, brother Ken Williamson, sister-in-law Lorraine Williamson and brother-in-law Barry Pierce.

Survived by his wife Krista Williamson (Damgaard); sons Ryan and Stuart, mother-in-law, Jo Damgaard.

His love of family and friends and his sense of humour kept us all on our toes, endeared him to us all.

Celebration of Life

Dad was a machinist, serving his apprenticeship at Terminal City Iron Works and the remainder of his career at Ellett Industries until his retirement in 1994. His passion for Tsawwassen showed in his 35 years of volunteering efforts. He joined the volunteer fire department and rose to District Chief, a job he held until Delta formed a full-time fire department. Dad was proud of 14 years with the fire department and his 19 years with the cop shop.

After mom passed, Dad got involved in some of the senior activities in Tsawwassen and met a wonderful lady, Margaret, during his time volunteering at the cop shop. They hit it off and next thing you know, dads got a girlfriend. It was nice to see the smile back on his face. Soon they were travelling together down to the states to try their luck at the slots. Dad was lucky to have met a lady like Margaret, and we were happy to invite her into our family.

We may not have him here to lean on now, but with every step we take forward there’s a life lesson he taught us that we can look back on, and know we are making the right choices. The first few steps without him will be the hardest, but rest assured Dad, if one of us stumbles, the others will be there to help.

Quote from Dad: “Family first and he is your brother and you will be there to help, no matter what” Dad has gone now to be with some old friends, so Dad please give Mom a hug and kiss from all of us and don’t worry about us, we couldn’t have asked for a better father.

Goodbye for now, Dad. We love you and miss you.

There will a Celebration of Life in our father’s honour, on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 1:00pm, held at the Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC.

REDMOND, Donald Wharton January 23, 1928 - May 22, 2019

Dad started off on a farm where Beach Grove Golf course is now. He built his family home on Farrell Crescent. Dad spared nothing for his family: from a swimming pool in the backyard, to our own ice rink in the field, miles of trails to ride motorbikes, and a never-ending beach to explore, we had it all thanks to him. As we got older, Dad moved us closer to the high schools, where he made his final home on 5B Ave. He instilled in all of us his love for this community, and we all ventured away but returned to raise our own families here in Delta.
