Scheer here in campaign mode

Conservative leader thanks local candidate Tanya Corbet for joining the team IAN JACQUES

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

Andrew Scheer is already chalking up the frequent flyer miles.

With visits last week to Kelowna, Whitehorse and then Thursday night in Delta, the Conservative party leader is clearly in campaign mode.

In front of a standingroom only crowd at the Tsawwassen Springs ballroom, Scheer shared his vision for the country as well as laid out aspects of his election platform as he helped kick off not only Delta candidate Tanya Corbet’s campaign, but the party’s British Columbia campaign.

“People come up to me and say Andrew you have to win this election because we can’t afford another four years of Justin Trudeau,” said Scheer to raucous applause. “And I get it. The stakes are incredibly high. Every election matters, but perhaps no more so than this coming election because the choices are so stark for

Delta Conservative candidate Tanya Corbet and party leader Andrew Scheer were at Tsawwassen Springs last Thursday.

Canadians.”

Scheer was joined by seven MPs from across the country, including B.C. MPs Ed Fast, Alice Wong and Mark Strahl, as well as 11 candidates from across B.C., including former Delta MP KerryLynne Findlay, who is the candidate in South SurreyWhite Rock.

Many of the MPs were in town to attend the cel-

ebration of life for LangleyAldergrove Conservative MP Mark Warawa who died of pancreatic cancer on June 20.

In introducing Corbet, Scheer spoke of her business and community involvement, her strong family ties and her work and leadership within the Tsawwassen First Nation.

“I want to thank Tanya Corbet for stepping for-

ward and joining our team,” he said. “She has been a leader in her community for years. From her work on the board of directors for the Delta Hospital Community Health Foundation to her work with the Reach Child and Youth Development Society, she has always looked at opportunities to give back to her community. The voters of Delta deserve a member of Parliament who will bring that level of commitment and responsibility to government, they deserve a member of Parliament who will be a voice for Delta in Ottawa, not a voice for Ottawa here in Delta.”

Corbet said she was thrilled to have Scheer’s support.

“It is such an honour to have you here to kick off the B.C. campaign.

With you leading our team, I know we will see a strong, stable majority Conservative government in Ottawa in October,” Corbet said. “This means so much to have you all

here to support my campaign to be your next MP in Ottawa.”

In a short interview with the Optimist after the formal speeches, Scheer said he is thrilled to have Corbet on the team and that he believes the people of Delta deserve an MP that will provide the leadership to help them get ahead, not just get by.

He said with Corbet and the rest of the Conservative team, they will be focused on making life more affordable for not only the people of Delta, but for all Canadians.

When asked if Delta was a key battleground, Scheer answered with a resounding yes.

“There is a strong history of supporting Conservative candidates here and we have a great candidate with great experience, so I wanted to come to visit to both send a signal that we are going to be paying close attention to this riding and this region and also to support Tanya’s launch of her campaign,” he said.

Harvie says he won’t go to reception during UBCM IAN JACQUES

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

Delta Mayor George Harvie says he is opposed to foreign influence in local affairs and as such will not be attending the Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China’s reception during the annual Union of British Columbia

Municipalities (UBCM) convention in Vancouver in September.

“I will be attending this year’s UBCM convention, however, I will not be attending the ConsulateGeneral of the People’s Republic of China in Vancouver reception,” said Harvie. “The issue of UBCM having a sponsorship agreement with the

Consulate-General of the People’s Republic of China is concerning and I am opposed to foreign influence in our local affairs. I will be discussing this matter with Metro Vancouver mayors at our next committee meeting and taking steps to avoid any perception of foreign influence in my work at the UBCM convention in

September.”

The issue of the reception and its foreign sponsorship was raised recently

by Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West.

The evening reception, mid-way through the UBCM conference, is a chance for politicians to meet and discuss trade and other issues of mutual concern over drinks and

appetizers.

The event has been held at the convention since 2012, but West said it should stop, or politicians should stay away from the event, because of the Chinese government’s ongoing diplomatic and trade issues with Canada as well as concerns over the country’s human right’s record.

Participants required for a major national hearing study.

The Delta School District is making big, much-needed dollars from its successful International Student Program.

Noting the program continues to make important contributions, both in terms of enriching classrooms with a global perspective and contributing to the ongoing financial stability of the district, International Student Program director Karen Symonds told the Optimist that for the 2018-2019 school year, students came from over 35 countries and brought in over $12 million. That represents more than a $7-million net contribution to the budget.

“Over the past five years the demographic has been shifting, with students from Europe and South America making up larger proportions than they had in the past. Currently, our top countries are China, South Korea, Germany, Brazil, Japan, Vietnam and Italy. Diversity is

important for a healthy and strong program,” she explained.

“This year our numbers were up slightly from 2017-2018 with over 1,000 students representing 785 FTE students. Currently, it looks like we will be holding relatively stable for

the 2019-2020 school year as well with similar numbers.”

China continued to lead the way in international students this year with 460, but that is down from 524 in the 2015/2016 school year, while South Korea was second with 160 students, although that’s down 30 from the previous

year. Students from Japan dropped from 98 three years ago to 61 this year.

Other countries, meanwhile, have seen student numbers steadily increasing, including Brazil, Germany and Italy, among others. There was just one student from Vietnam three years ago to 68 this year.

The district is looking to diversify even further, hoping to attract students from such nations as the Philippines and Turkey, while it will also have an “eye on India.”

Areas of caution include an increase in international schools within China, which means fewer students travelling overseas.

There are also other factors, such as politics and economics, in China and elsewhere that might affect the flow of students, while an increase in competition from other school districts wanting a slice of the international student pie complicates matters.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

The test will take approximately 60 minutes. Participants must: • Be over 50 years of age • Have never worn hearing aids • Have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss*. By taking part in this hearing study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek information.

Community and business leaders are mourning the passing of Patrick Lawlor.

Lawlor was the founder of Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe in Ladner Village.

“It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my father, Patrick Lawlor,” wrote daughter Janice in a post on social media Monday afternoon.

“My dad touched everyone that came across his path in one way or another. He was a father, grandfather (Bumpa Sr.), and great grandfather as well as the founder of our little Jewelry store. He always left laughter and fond memories in his wake. He will be deeply missed by all.”

Lawlor got involved in the jewelry business in 1947 when he was just 14.

Originally from Montreal, he lived in Ladner for more than 30 years, running his ‘community orientated’ Lawlor Jewelry retail store here

Patrick Lawlor was the founder of Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe in Ladner. from 1989 to 2009.

When he retired he still came into the store to wish customers well and thank them for their support.

In a 2013 interview with the Optimist, Lawlor recalled how he got his start in the business.

“Knocking on doors, looking for a job,” he said.

“It just happened to be an elevated gentleman asking what I was doing in

a building on 47 McGill Street in Montreal.”

He called his years in Ladner fabulous.

“It’s the nicest community I’ve experienced across the country. There’s no place like Ladner. And the people, and the community,” he said.

An inspiring soccer coach from Delta is the recipient of the 2019 Special Olympics BC Grassroots Coaching Award.

Stuart Holmes is an inspiring supporter, leader and collaborator for all his athletes, and a dedicated ambassador for Special Olympics.

Holmes has been a valued coach for 12 years, and brings not only an extensive 60-year background in soccer, but also a very positive manner, amazing listening skills, inspiring and collaborative leadership abilities, and excellent communication skills.

“The athletes respect him and trust him instinctively,” his nominators wrote. “Stuart has personally inspired athletes by encouraging them to set goals and he always follows up with each athlete.

He is a great example to his athletes by setting achievable goals for fitness, nutrition, train-

He encourages them to move forward in all aspects of their life, both in Special Olympics and in life skills.”

Holmes said he was surprised when he found out he would be receiving the award.

Although he was honoured by the recognition, he said he doesn’t volunteer for the accolades.

“I just enjoy coaching the athletes,” he said.

“They are so appreciative of everything that you do.

It is always worth the effort

to see the athletes achieve and execute what you have been teaching. That could be scoring a goal, which is always a huge thing, or being able to pass and run and enjoy soccer. That’s the main thing.”

Holmes never hesitates to step forward and help in additional areas to ensure more opportunities and support for Special Olympics athletes, ranging from fundraising and advocacy to taking on additional coaching roles with regional teams.

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

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

TSAWWASSEN

• June 30, 12:31 p.m., 300 Block 56th Street: Complainant reported a disturbance advising that a male was screaming/swearing at another male to pull over. Police attended and determined the disturbance was emanating from a two vehicle incident. Driver one and driver two were simultaneously entering the same lane to facilitate a right turn, resulting in a crash. Delta police and fire attended. No injuries to the drivers.

• June 30, 1:42 p.m., 6500 Block 1A Avenue: Complainant reported that the self-serve farm stand at Beach Grove Elementary had been vandalized. In addition to the damage, the complainant believed that there was no more than $10 taken from the honour box. Approx. $100 in damage to the stand. As school is not in session so the stand may have been empty at time of vandalism.

• June 30 to July 1, Canada Day long weekend, Boundary Bay: Multiple complainants requested police assistance in regards to heavy traffic congestion and parking violations at Centennial Beach. The issue stemmed from the beach parking lot being at capacity and unable to accommodate the large number of guests. Police attended and conducted traffic enforcement while assisting flaggers who were already present.

• June 30, 10:37 p.m., 1300 Block Duncan Drive: Complainant called police to report loud karaoke coming from a residence in the neighbourhood.

The karaoke machine was

heard upon arrival and a singer/dancer could be seen through the glass door. The homeowner advised of a small celebration was for a friend’s birthday and was cooperative to lay down the mic for the night.

• July 3, 10:55 a.m., 5700 Block Goldenrod Crescent: Complainant advised police that months ago he replied to a wireless provider email requesting he update his billing information, and was recently contacted by a different wireless provider regarding an attempted online transaction of three cell phones, to which he advised he did not purchase. The complainant advised he has not suffered any financial loss, but he is working with his credit and wireless providers to cancel the credit card, and coordinate a credit check regarding potential identity theft or additional purchases.

• July 4, 5:34 p.m., Highway 17/Tsawwassen Drive: Police were dispatched to a bylaw complaint of littering.

Complainant advised police that she witnessed a driver throw a plastic water bottle out of the

passenger window. Police attended the driver’s residence and noted the allelectric vehicle in question had reusable tin bottles inside. Police spoke to the driver who advised that the household does not use plastic bottles and confirmed one was run over at that intersection, but it was already on the roadway.

• July 4, 7:37 p.m., 900 Block Tsawwassen Beach Road: Complainant reported that a group of teens that had been on the beach in front of his house and knocked over three flower pots into the water and then ran away.

Police attended the beach and located teens at the bottom of the Fred Gingell stairs. Three teens stated they heard the other two males throw the pots into the water and observed them run north along the beach. The teens advised they felt bad about what happened and retrieved the pots for the complainant. Upon follow up, the complainant confirmed that it was the two other males that had been involved in the mischief and that the other three who had help retrieve the

pots were not associated.

LADNER

• June 30, 5500 Block Admiral Way: Complainant reported a noisy party in her complex. Police attended and located a party of four drinking in the garage for a birthday party. Property resident complied with request to move the party inside and close the doors.

• June 30, 1:04 a.m., 5600 Block of Ladner Trunk Road: While conducting traffic patrols along Ladner Trunk Road, police witnessed a vehicle driving below the speed limit, nearly striking the curb. Police initiated a traffic stop, and noted a distinct odour of liquor emanating from the driver’s breath. The driver was asked to blow into the approved screening device, resulting in a fail.

The driver declined their right to a second sample.

The driver’s vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days, and the driver was served a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition.

• June 30, 10:24 a.m., 4700 Block 45th Avenue: Police received a noise complaint from an anonymous complainant in

regards to a residence in the neighbourhood. The resident was observed by police in her residence playing loud music, smashing cabinets, swearing and causing a raucous.

The resident was not cooperative with police and therefore, was issued a bylaw violation ticket for ‘noise that disturbs from real property.’ No further issues reported.

• June 30, 1:52 p.m., 6300 Block Crescent Place: Complainant called police to report that a neighbour was hedging his tree contrary to Delta noise bylaws for a Sunday. Police attended to a quiet house, and located a happy, dirtsodden resident who had just finished his tree hedging and lawn work. Police spoke to the resident who was cooperative and understanding. A verbal warning given.

• July 1, 12:52 p.m., 4700 Block 53rd Street: Complainant reported damage to a realtor sign and three, four-foot light posts. The complainant advised she heard youth in pathway between 2 and 2:30 a.m. Police determined light posts were kicked over.

e’re going to need more help this time around.

A couple decades ago a housing trend took hold in Delta as rising real estate prices combined with a dearth of rental units to create a secondary suites boom. Homeowners required help paying the mortgage so thousands of Delta’s single-family homes became multi-family dwellings in a movement that didn’t necessarily sit well with everybody. City hall did its best to look the other way, only cracking down on the illegal units if there were neighbourhood complaints, a tacit acknowledgement that suites were necessary to make things work for both landlords and tenants. It took another decade before Delta got around to actually legalizing all those suites.

We’re another decade further along and the real estate market has thrown quite a few more body blows to wouldbe buyers to the point where not even a “mortgage helper” is enough to make home ownership a reality. In fact, a single-family home is so out of reach for many younger people that it’s not even part of the conversation.

The trouble is that in a city where 80 per cent of the stock is made up of single-family homes, there aren’t a lot of other housing choices, and even those aren’t necessarily affordable. It was discouraging, but far from surprising, to find that a median income family couldn’t afford a Delta home, but it was really troubling to learn that just six per cent of townhouses fall within that family’s price range.

Delta’s housing stock clearly doesn’t match buyer need and secondary suites aren’t going to get us out of the predicament this time. Instead, some tough decisions lie ahead as there’s little alternative but to redevelop. Any time you start messing with people’s neighbourhoods you’re asking for trouble, although if there’s a silver lining, it’s that much of the inventory is getting near the end of its lifespan.

We’re already seeing it happen in pockets as developers recognize what the market is clamoring for, but it’s clear that a more coordinated approach, one that takes the piecemeal nature out of the equation and provides security for neighbourhoods, is required. Most importantly, it’s one that has to produce results by creating housing that many more people can afford.

Onwards and upwards for successful Project Pickle

ell, it’s a wrap.

Another Project Pickle school year has come to a close.

The last few weeks in my farming sessions with the kids are spent enjoying various vegetables from the back of my truck in “tailgate parties.”

A 1,000-plus young farmers have been chowing down on spinach, arugula, radish, peas and other goodies, including a special treat of watermelon the last two weeks. They happily devoured 45 watermelon while I sprayed them with the hose….a yearly tradition and highlight of the year for them and for me!

They each took a cucumber seedling home to care for the next several weeks. They have been tasked with keeping a journal to monitor the progress of their plants to show me upon their return in September. They have also been given instructions as to what they can harvest from their school farms when they are out and about on vacation.

My small crew and I will be maintaining their crops during the summer for fall harvest.

It was another successful year by many measures and it has been particularly rewarding to see the continued growth and popularity of the program.

The children very much enjoy their farming sessions and hun-

dreds of kids have tasted vegetables that they have never had before. I love hearing the stories from them and their teachers about what happens at home during the course of the year.

There is the story of a parent asking a teacher what the deal is with arugula?

“Travis insists on having arugula in a salad every day. I’ve never even had it before but it is now a regular on our dinner table,” said one of the parents.

I encourage the kids to snack on things other than chips when they are playing games or watching TV. A little Grade 3 dude proudly told me that he and his sister snack on radishes and snap peas now and that his mom puts cucumber slices in his lunch.

These little anecdotes tell me that the children are learning things about farming and nutrition and that is what it is all

about.

Sadly, there are other stories that are heartbreaking like the ones where kids quietly and politely ask me if they can take some more home for their families. I try to oblige whenever I can and discreetly provide so that they are not embarrassed in front of their classmates.

I thank the Delta School District for supporting Project Pickle.

I would also like to thank the British Columbia Youth in Agriculture Foundation and board member and MLA Ian Paton for their support and to the Delta Agricultural Society and Ken and Jack Bates for a recent grant. Several DAS board members are also my colleagues on Delta’s Agriculture Advisory Committee and I would like to thank Peter Guichon, Brent Kelly, Cory Gerrard and Jerry Keulen for their support.

Project Pickle will continue its growth trend thanks to engaged supporters who realize that the future of farming depends on nurturing the interest of younger generations in the hopes that some of them will continue to pursue a career in the noblest of professions.

Delta’s ordinary cyclists deserve safety as well Editor: The Tour de Delta and the City of Delta pulled out all stops to ensure the racers would be safe as they pedaled through our streets, blocked and padded for them.

Fine. Well. And Good.

Safety of participants must be paramount in these events, but what about us, Delta’s resident pedalers who cycle every day of the week, 52 weeks a year? When are we going to get more than bikes

painted along the curbs and so-called bicycle lanes that are de facto parking lanes and paths for pedestrians and dog walkers? Sidewalks ignored, unused.

Oh, I know, we don’t sport the chi-chi-priced leotards embossed with corporate logos that the Tour de Delta racers wear, and I know that most of us are denying that “time stands still for no man,” but we bleed, too. And we live here: taxpayers all.

And when is Delta’s police department going to come down hard on drivers who play chicken with us or squeeze us into parked cars rather than brake or veer to the left?

These sadistic cowards would never play chicken with another driver or squeeze other vehicles into parked ones, but they do both with us cyclists.

As I said, they’re sadistic creeps. Ticket them, please.

New metal bouquet in Ladner will always provide a reference point

Editor: Re: Metal artists turn farm equipment into beautiful bouquet in Ladner, July 4 Thank you for the article regarding local artists Yorke and Karen Graham.

What a lovely idea using old scrap farm equipment to make a piece of art. And how clever of the developer to showcase his new building, apart from the

rest. His future tenants will always have a reference point for their visitors. I will drive by today to have a look see.

And I was very pleased to see the little park open again in the name of “Big John” and his sister.

I also would like to see a park bench, as a tribute to Big John, at Johnny’s Corner.

Most of us were stunned

to hear of the death of our perpetual happy “teenager,” with his booming voice and hugs for his friends.

We were all his friends, even if he didn’t know our names.

I can’t afford a bench on my own but perhaps we could all chip in with a donation at Envision Credit Union. I will look into it.

Delta’s mayor and council don’t care about the environment Editor: I wonder if the people of North Delta are aware of the rate big trees are being cut down by developers to build monster houses.

This is the absolute least environmentally friendly mayor and council that has been our misfortune to see, with the exception of “lone wolf” Lois Jackson

who does care. The remainder of the council votes each and every time to cut down our precious trees and pave over the grass for more parking.

With all the trees and grass being gobbled up by 6,000-square-foot houses and driveways, does anyone realize what that does to the air shed? This mayor

and council do not care about the air and waterways. The almighty dollar and developer friends matter more.

Come on folks, write letters and protest. Someone out there must care about the environment. The next election is a long three years away.

Uninstall those annoying, noisy mufflers Editor: Societies all over the world are concerned about the deterioration of the environment, yet here in Canada we have people who change factoryinstalled mufflers with noisy mufflers so they can let everybody else know how cool they are to make this kind of noise.

Why do we have to

share the world with people such as this? All around us the environment is falling apart so why do we as a society tolerate such childish behaviour?

There was an article in the news from Switzerland where they confiscated a car with a loud muffler, fined the owner, made a garage change the muffler

back to its original factory settings and gave the bill to the owner of the car.

That’s what should happen to unfortunate people such us them.

However here in Canada that seems to be OK. Nobody complains and in addition the police seem to tolerate this kind of behaviour.

Tribunal to hear disabled customer’s complaint Building plans approved by city and all necessary permits were issued, according to Springs 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 accessibility complaint against Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar will go before the Human Rights Tribunal later this year.

The complaint has been filed by Tsawwassen’s Vince Miele who uses a wheelchair and has long been an advocate for people with disabilities.

According to his application, in February 2016 he made a reservation for four and informed the Tsawwassen Springs restaurant that one in the party uses a wheelchair.

When he arrived, he found his friends had been seated at a table in the lower area of the restaurant, but he was unable to independently join them because of three stairs. A server offered to help him down the stairs, but that was not feasible.

As a result, his friends were moved to the upper level of the restaurant.

He said the experience attracted undo attention from other diners and that it was an “incredibly embarrassing experience.”

After the incident, Miele

contacted the restaurant to complain about the lack of access to the lower floor.

“I received less than a satisfactory response and in correspondence with others looked originally at a class-action lawsuit,” Miele told the Optimist.

“The commissioner of the tribunal determined that a class-action complaint was a lot more complicated.

They felt they would not accept it as a class-action, but continue it at the Human Rights Tribunal.”

In January, an application was made to dismiss the complaint, but that was denied, so it will now be heard before the tribunal in November.

Miele said since he started the complaint process three years ago, the restaurant has made some improvements, including installing an automatic door opener from the parkade to the elevator and a door to enable access to the patio. As well, it now has a portable ramp, but Miele contends that does not meet the building code and a permanent ramp should be installed to meet all accessibility standards.

first wrote to them in good faith and thought it would be corrected.

“Three years later we are still waiting. What are we to think? I’m adamant about what I want and so are they and that’s why we are heading to a hearing.

To design something like this so poorly is quite surprising. It should be inclusive and accessible for all and it’s not.”

Dave Symington also wrote to the Optimist about a similar experience he had at the restaurant in May. “It’s surprising that a building this new still did not take into account that people with mobilityrelated disabilities might want to use the lower and main portion of the restaurant,” he said. “The building code specifically

states that where there is a change in floor levels it must be made accessible, which means a permanent ramp or other means where an individual can independently access the area. If we have to make a fuss about sitting in an area that anyone else can, we are not being accommodated fairly.”

Through its legal counsel, Tsawwassen Springs provided a written response to the Optimist.

“We engaged the services of professional engineers and architects who created the building plans for the construction of Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar along with the entire building in which the restaurant is situate, which plans were in full compliance with the then current B.C. Building Code including the accessibility requirements provided therein,” said the response.

“Those building plans were approved by the City of Delta, whose representatives issued all necessary permits. The building, including the restaurant, is Accessibility Certified by the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification program.

“We will not be providing any further comment while this matter is being considered by the tribunal.”

Roving patrols utilized for CounterAttack Delta Police Department took 14 impaired drivers off local roads last weekend 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

Summer CounterAttack road checks are in full swing across the province, and last weekend, Delta police tried something different – roving patrols to stop and deter impaired drivers.

On July 5 and 6 the roving patrol was in addition to the traditional-style CounterAttack roadblock set up for a portion of both Friday and Saturday nights.

“Our intent is two-fold,” said A/Sgt. Jim Ingram, who was in charge of both CounterAttack shifts. “We want to educate drivers about the new legislation and of course, we want to take impaired drivers off the road.”

A total of 111 drivers were required to blow into the approved screening device during both the roving and static week-

end CounterAttacks. Of those, nine were impaired by alcohol or drugs for a rate of just over eight per cent of all drivers who were stopped. Police also conducted three standard field sobriety tests, used when a driver is suspected of having consumed drugs.

One driver stopped in North Delta around 9:30 p.m. on July 6 blew a fail on his first try, and then made his second poor choice of the night by attempting to run from the officer who had pulled him over.

“He ran across the parking lot and crashed into some bushes, but was quickly stopped,” said Ingram.

Ingram said as the investigation had essentially concluded by that point, the driver will not face potential obstruction charges.

Another driver was unhappy about the new

He eventually agreed to blow, and registered a zero. If he had not agreed to blow the consequences could have been significant, including refusing to provide a breath sample, which comes with the same penalties as a fail under B.C.’s immediate roadside prohi-

bition program.

“We also stopped a surprising number of self-proclaimed designated drivers, who told us they had nothing to drink that night, yet provided a breath sample that showed they definitely had some alcohol in their system,” said Ingram. “Although those drivers conceded that they weren’t being honest with us, they did not

face any consequences, as their ability to drive wasn’t affected or impaired.”

The majority of impaired drivers stopped last weekend were found by officers on the roving CounterAttack. However, officers on regular patrol duty also regularly stop suspected impaired drivers, or respond to public reports of suspected impaired drivers. Last weekend alone those general duty officers dealt with five additional drivers who were impaired by drugs or alcohol.

Between CounterAttack shifts and general duty officers, DPD took a total of 14 impaired drivers off Delta roads July 5 to 7. Of note, news of the CounterAttack was also shared on DPD social media channels (@deltapolice and @DPDTraffic).

“I think the public can definitely expect us to continue with this new tactic of doing roving CounterAttack stops,” added Ingram.

The recently enacted mandatory alcohol screening provision (Bill C-46) authorizes law enforcement officers who have an ‘approved screening device’ at hand to demand breath samples of any drivers they lawfully stop, without first requiring that they have a suspicion that the driver has alcohol in their body. The research shows that many impaired drivers are able to escape detection at check stops.

This authority helps police detect more drivers who are over legal limits, and reduce litigation regarding whether or not the officer had a reasonable suspicion.

Trotter said neighbourhood planning should centre on questions like: Can you have more duplexes and four-plexes? Can you make it easier to have a legal suite? Can you look at things similar to lane-way homes in Vancouver?

“The group would like to see housing options that are not just all about destroying a fabric of a neighbourhood,” he said.

Many are calling for greater housing choices in Delta where 80 per cent of the stock is single-family or duplexes.

on these projects, it is all about young people and seniors yet none of the projects hit young people and seniors.

“As a community, we all need to get together on the same page. We need better dialogue with developers and we need to work more closely with council on what is fair and we need to be well-organized so our voices are heard.”

What the pro-development side is quick to point out is that, according to Delta’s Social Profile, single-family homes and duplexes still make up 80 per cent of the city’s housing stock. With condos around 14 per cent and townhomes at just 5.5 per cent, they say that has created a lack of affordable options.

Fraser Elliott, who heads the number one real estate team in South Delta for the past nine years, said the single-family zoning that’s prevalent in the area is based on the 1960s when Canada’s population was less than half it is today. He said the housing demand being created by increased population across the board requires zoning changes.

With bare land virtually non-existent, and farmland rightfully off limits, Elliott believes redeveloping single-family areas is the only choice to meet demand. He points to areas adjacent to town cores where higher density already exists as logical spots to rezone.

First elected to Delta council in the early 1970s, and having served 19 years as mayor before being elected again as a councillor last fall, Lois Jackson said when much of Delta’s housing was built it met the needs of the most of the population at the time, but what wasn’t anticipated was a regional population boom. Metro Vancouver’s 2016 population of 2.5 million is anticipated to increase by about one million by 2050.

“Where are they going to live? Now what we’re seeing is a lot of infill redevelopment where they’re spitting lots and building two smaller houses where there was just one, especially here in North Delta, but are those houses really affordable? Are those houses going to solve the issue of affordability? You’ll see more basement suites for rent, but that’s about all,” Jackson said.

Over a decade ago, prior to the explosion of housing prices in the Lower Mainland, the city put together a housing task force that came up with a number of recommendations, most of which were approved, including legalizing secondary suites.

In a 2008 interview, task force chair Scott Hamilton at the time wouldn’t go so far as to describe the situation as a crisis, but acknowledged a need for more housing for people of all ages.

“What’s really important is there needs to be a level of acceptance that has to be achieved by a neighbourhood and a community as to what they’re prepared to invite into their community and how they want to see it evolve,” said Hamilton.

A recent poll of 1,001 British Columbians carried out by Ipsos for the Urban Development Institute found respondents in widespread support of new housing forms in traditionally single-family neighbourhoods. Seventy-four per cent believe home prices and rents remain high because there are too few

cent to 0.5 per cent. This barrier to attainable ownership also places additional strain on the rental housing market as those who would otherwise own continue to need rental housing.”

Ron Rapp, CEO of the Homebuilders Association Vancouver, said most people either want a single-family detached home or row home/townhome as their first home, but that’s now a challenge.

The increasing population and lack of land means prices will only be going up, which means smaller units are first-time buyers’ best hope of getting into the market, especially with new, more stringent “stress test” mortgage requirements.

“To some degree, the existing zoning and planning protocols don’t necessarily support what I would call creative solutions when we are trying to come to terms with these costs. The traditional ratio of what your shelter should cost used to be in the order of about 33 per cent of your gross monthly income.

Well, at this point, what kind of price correction would we have to see to be able to regain that kind of ratio? It would be catastrophic,” said Rapp.

“So, there’s really only one way for us to be able to move forward and that is to be able to come up with innovative, more creative ways to be able to create at least gentle density, if nothing else, to be able to provide more housing options for the greater population, in particular the first-time buyer.

It’s that group of people we need to be able to get into the marketplace by hook or by crook because without those firsttime buyers coming into the marketplace, there is no sustainable market.”

The City of Delta has approved Official Community Plan changes for major corridors to allow higher density, including areas like Scott Road, where high-rise proposals are now appearing, and 72nd Avenue, where a couple of townhouse complexes are being built and several land assemblies are in the works.

A major project that could include high-rise buildings, although not to the extent of what’s proposed for Scott Road,

housing options, while 70 per cent believe the actions of governments have not improved housing affordability.

UDI president and CEO Anne McMullin noted townhomes are becoming out of reach for many entering the market due to a limited supply in Delta and throughout the region.

“I totally understand that people want to maintain the character of their single-family neighbourhoods, but at the same time they have to realize our region is growing. We need to think more broadly as a community and talk about the benefits of growth. How do these people have homes?

“My view is that the best community is one that is diverse and has a diversity of people, of income levels, family makeup, but the only way to do that is to provide a diversity of housing options, rather than always fighting against higher density and development,” McMullin said.

According to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, a detached house in Ladner went up over 80 per cent over the last decade. For a while, the Ladner benchmark surpassed the $1 million mark, although it’s now slightly below that level. The benchmark price during that time in Tsawwassen doubled and is currently just under $1.2 million.

Retired UBC prof killed in Chile hailed from Ladner

Man reportedly stabbed during walk with family 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

Family and friends in South Delta are mourning the loss of a respected UBC professor.

Peter Winterburn, a retired geochemistry professor, was killed during an attempted robbery in mid-June while out walking with his family in Valparaiso, Chile.

Authorities have apprehended the suspects who are awaiting trial.

The family lived in Ladner for five years before moving to Chile in January.

Peter’s widow Michelle said her late husband was a devoted father and husband who was extremely proud of his family.

She said he enjoyed running half marathons, rock climbing and, more recently, had taken up infrared photography.

“He was passionate about his work at improving the mining industry and was a leader in the geochemistry field,” said

Michelle in an email to the Optimist. “He had a dark sense of humour (British sense of humor). He was a great mentor to all his students and a great friend.

He had a great way of getting people to answer their own questions. He will be missed by many.”

Michelle said she and daughters Cassandre and Keryn have found the loss difficult to comprehend.

“We are all finding it extremely difficult at the loss of a father and husband and occasionally have an issue with the language barrier. Unfortunately being in Chile we really have no close family, but we do have a couple of friends and have been honoured to have their support,” she said.

The family held a celebration of life last weekend in Chile and plan to have a similar gathering for friends and colleagues back in the Lower Mainland when they return, although Michelle said when that will be is still uncertain.

Peter Winterburn “At this stage I’m not exactly sure where I will end up. I still love being in Chile, which really is a safe place, just a case of wrong place at wrong time. (I) would love to make a life for myself here at some stage, but for now Cassandre will be returning to South Delta and Keryn will be returning to Halifax and Dalhousie University to complete her masters in marine biology,” she said.

It is $6,000 and climbing for the Beach Grove Golf Club in its support of the ALS Society of B.C. Head pro Brent Derrheim, assistant pro Jordan Rodda and members Jeff Norris and Jon Hwang golfed from sunrise to sunset on Thursday, June 20 in the 14th annual PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS. Derrheim finished five rounds before he had to stop due to an injury; Rodda completed 13 while Norris and Hwang each played 11 rounds.

It was a 17-hour day on the course with the last few holes played in the dark.

“It was harder than any of the normal days for golf,” said Norris. “The scores were surprisingly good. We didn’t get worse as the day progressed.”

Rodda said his last nine

“It was in the dark and I was trying to hit it as straight as possible,” he said. “I was two-under par – it was awesome. But I think it was certainly overall harder than we thought. I know I was pretty sore for a couple of days afterwards.”

All four said they would take on the challenge again.

“The last couple of

rounds the members that live on the course were coming out and cheering us on. I got a standing ovation from a group – the members are so supportive,” said Rodda.

Norris said members came up to them and donated money while they were on the course.

“We had others come out to clear the course as well, which was really nice so we could keep the pace of play up,” added Hwang.

Jagger Diet will have everyone jumpin’ like Jack Flash

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

I don’t know what Mick Jagger’s been eating, but I’d like to try some, please.

The senior is of an age — he’s 75 — when a lot of other folks are chilling in Palm Springs, their working days long behind them. They may nap in the afternoon and retire for the evening at nine. Their exercise might consist of a

round of golf or a game of pickle ball. Maybe a little bridge now and again.

But Mick’s not exactly the retiring type. Yes, he recently had some procedure to replace a heart valve, but that hasn’t stopped him and his rock ‘n’ roll homeys from setting out on their 17-stop No Filter tour.

From all reports, Jagger’s still got the swagger — and then some.

As I say, I’d like some of what he’s eating. Antiaging almonds? Longevity legumes? Endurance edamame?

Can’t say I’ve been a lifelong Stones fan (I’ve always been more of a Beach Boys/Herman’s

Hermits gal), but heck, I’m in utter awe. I mean, I’m an awful lot younger than Mick — and by that, I mean a LOT — yet while he’s bouncing mischievously about the stage and throwing his arms in the air, I’m discovering that my legs are suddenly prone to seizing up whenever I sit down for more

than half an hour at a time.

Mick, of course, is not the only rock ‘n’ roll Golden Ager out there, but he has to be one of the friskiest.

Jumpin’ Jack Flash is apparently jumpin’ as much as ever, and I don’t believe for a second that he can’t get no satisfaction.

Volunteers help Earthwise prep for planting season

Work party from Sage Foundation lends a hand

It’s finally summertime and the Earthwise Garden in Boundary Bay is really starting to flourish.

The late spring rain can invite plenty of weeds to rear their heads, but Earthwise Society had a good head start preparing for the gardening season thanks to a little help from some friends.

Earthwise was pleased to welcome employees from Richmond-based Sage Foundation to the garden for a special volunteer work party to get it cleaned up and ready for the season ahead.

The Sage Foundation crew of about 16 was enthusiastic, hard-working and eager to get to work replanting and clearing the feature dry garden area.

The group was divided into smaller work parties, each led by an experienced Earthwise gardener.

The teams began by weeding and cleaning up

The Sage Foundation crew was invited back and was excited to see the fruits of its earlier labour in full bloom. On its return visit, the Sage team did a complete cleanup and makeover of the Heritage Garden.

Earthwise welcomes and encourages local business teams to visit, learn about the work that Earthwise does and spend some time helping in the garden.

The Apostle Paul echoes David in writing of God’s blessings as being rich and lavish (Ephesians 1).

If you are exploring spiritual life, but afraid that if you include God in the equation it will end somehow in misery, then may I encourage you to think differently? A fair examination of God will show that he is good and happy to bless. I would even go so far as to say that if you set your affections on him then all your wildest dreams will come true!

This quote originated as advice from the sidekick and guide Pedro.

Despite the many laughs it has produced and many re-quotes since airing in 2004 it is strikingly similar to a line from a song written by David 3,000 years earlier.

Artist captures The Empress

Victoria Heryet creates 10 pieces to celebrate ‘Canada’s Castle on the Coast’ 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 Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria is celebrating its history thanks to a Ladner artist.

Recently the hotel commissioned 10 pieces of art that celebrate the hotel and its stories by Victoria Heryet.

Inspired by vintage Canadian Pacific travel posters, each piece of art has been created in a retro style and focuses on a significant aspect of the hotel. The art project coincides with the launch of the hotel’s Heritage Hall.

“Where the Heritage Hall speaks to our grand history, the new art pieces speak to our current offering. From weddings, to Q Bar, to Croquet at the Empress, we now hold a collection of art pieces that communicate to our guests all that there is to experience at Canada’s Castle on the Coast,” said Fairmont Empress in a news release.

“The art is on display in the cabinets next to

the main elevators on each floor. Guests are invited to tour the art, which varies from floor to floor.”

Heryet, who is a fine artist, illustrator, calligrapher and chalk artist, said she was honoured to be chosen to create the paintings for the permanent collection.

“I’m very happy with how everything came together,” she said. “I did some work with them before and did a re-production of a love letter that SUBMITTED PHOTO was written by Ladner artist Victoria Heryet was commissioned to create Prince Albert to 10 pieces of art to celebrate The Fairmont Empress Hotel in Queen Victoria Victoria. and I also did all the calligraphy 10 paintings.

She said she started you need to do to get the “I had six weeks to do

job done.”

Heryet was born in the U.K. and immigrated to Canada at the age of 14.

She received her art education at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson.

Freelancing in the art departments of newspapers and magazines, including Vancouver Magazine, her fine art career evolved as she developed her illustration and lettering portfolio, also working with agencies and doing private commissions.

Painting became her focus when she had her children and wanted to work from her home studio in Ladner.

She owns and operates Vancouver Chalk Works that specializes in creative chalkboards for businesses and events.

Besides the new work in Victoria, three detailed watercolours are currently hanging in Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen. Heryet is a member of the South Delta Artists Guild and regularly shows her work in the gallery.

Former mayor walks down memory lane in new book IAN JACQUES

Years as a columnist for the Delta Optimist will forever be remembered in a new book by Doug Husband.

Community Comments contains the articles the former mayor wrote for five years for the Optimist complemented by photographs, research and opinions on past and current events as well as the people who contributed to the growth of Delta.

A descendant of the Pybus pioneering family, Husband was elected five times to Delta council, including a term as mayor from 1987 to 1990. He continues to be a long serving community volunteer.

“I was featured in an article by reporter Sandor Gyarmati and following that conversation with Sandor, he suggested I should become one of the paper’s community columnists,” Husband recalled. “I talked with editor Ted Murphy and the rest is history. I became

A former Delta Optimist columnist, politician and long-time community volunteer, Doug Husband has written a book based on his columns at the Optimist and other historical facts about Delta. a contributor with the Optimist for five years.”

As Husband writes in the acknowledgments in the book, years spent writing articles in the Optimist was an adventure of its own and then producing a book required a different

skill set.

He said he has many people to thank for their contributions.

“It was really about my family. It was intended for my family to understand where this old fellow came from,” he said. “Other

people saw what I was doing and suggested that it would make for a good book.”

He said the book took a little over a year to get published.

“It was masterminded by our youngest daughter

Karen Williams and we used a publishing company in the United States,” he said. “I’m happy with the finished product. There are lots of pictures of family in it. The Delta Archives and Jarrod Millar deserve a lot of credit for historical material and research as do all of the people who I wrote about and allowed me a glimpse into their life story.

“I know enough people who read the columns and now the book who have said it is of general interest to those who have come into the community in the last 10, 20 years. There is lots of history and it is a general eclectic book about the community and my years here. Most people, I think, think of writing a book because it is good to put stuff in written form — so much history that people contain gets lost, so working with Karen we put all of this into book form.”

Ladner actor returning to TUTS stage in Newsies 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

Jordan Field describes it as a “bucket list” role.

The Ladner singer, dancer and actor returns to the Theatre Under the Stars stage after a fiveyear absence in Disney’s Newsies, which runs on alternating evenings along with Mamma Mia until Aug. 17.

Mamma Mia opened July 9 and Newsies on July 10.

“I just decided it was time to audition and get back on the TUTS stage,” Field said. “It is a bucket list musical for me, so I auditioned and here we are.”

Field is in the ensemble for this year’s show.

“Newsies has been one of my favourite musicals since I was eight years old,” he said. “It’s a true story, which I really like, about working kids that have been abused and they fight the man and rise up and come out on top.”

Ladner actor Jordan Field returns to the Theatre Under the Stars stage this summer in Disney’s Newsies.

A stirring true account of a ragged band of newspaper boys in 1899 New York City, Disney’s Newsies showcases a youth-led revolution in a fight for fair pay and humane working conditions.

Framed with inspiring song-and-dance numbers, the Broadway classic is an exposition on the power of the people.

Field began singing at

age three and dancing at five. He danced and sang competitively for 15 years.

He started musical theatre at eight.

He formed a band called Six to Midnight when he was 17 and played various venues around the Lower Mainland and beyond for five years.

He then moved on to vocal coaching, starting his own studio called C.H.O.P (Compassion, Heart, Opportunity, Persistence) Studios where he coaches and mentors the next generation of rising stars to achieve their goals.

He began with Delta Youth Theatre as an assistant choreographer two seasons ago and has loved working within the arts in his own community. He’s also thrilled to be back on the TUTS stage after a fiveyear break.

TUTS is at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park. Tickets, $30 to $55, are available at www.tuts.ca or by calling 604-631-2877.

Smith ready for a summer to remember under the stars IAN JACQUES

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

It’s going to be a summer to remember under the stars for South Delta actor Linden Smith.

The 16-year-old, actor, dancer and singer has been cast in the adult ensemble of Mamma Mia, which runs on alternating evenings along with Disney’s Newsies in Stanley Park with Theatre Under the Stars.

Mamma Mia opened July 9 and Newsies on July 10.

Smith said he was looking for something different this summer.

“I wanted to be a part of something in the theatre and a friend of mine suggested Theatre Under the Stars,” said Smith.

“The theatre being outdoors really interested me because you have to deal with all the trials and tribulations – rain, different lighting. So I thought why not go out and audition and even if I didn’t get picked it would be a fun

audition. I auditioned for both and when I found out I was in Mamma Mia I was ecstatic. It’s going to be a fun summer.”

Smith has attended Theatre Under the Stars as a fan and last year volunteered with the company.

He said TUTS brings with it a unique set of challenges.

“One of the first big differences I noticed during rehearsals is that we don’t have control over the lighting,” he said. “We have to change our blocking to match the day and then in the second act when it gets darker, we can use the lighting, so adapting to that and things like the weather is very challenging. The show must go on as our director says.”

Smith has been singing, dancing and acting his way across the stage since he was seven-years-old.

He has performed with Gateway Theatre in Wizard of Oz (Munchkin) and several Delta Youth Theatre productions including Little Mermaid

Art pays tribute to bog LAUREL JOHNSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

The South Delta Artists Guild’ juried show ended with record attendance, and our members have submitted their best works for July.

Each month, we feature larger paintings on our lobby wall at Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen. Stories are often missed when walking around the gallery.

Jan Rankin has three paintings playing a tribute to the Burns Bog. Vanishing Point has a pebbly horizon representing the peat that holds the bog together. It plays a huge role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and has been dubbed the Lungs of the Lower Mainland.

Encroachment is changing its shape and reducing its effectiveness.

Below the Peat we find turquoise splashes representing the aquifers that bubble to the surface and provide water for the animals and plants that make up the ecosystem.

Vanishing Point is one of the paintings on display this month at Gallery 1710 in Tsawwassen. the Fraser River with Boundary Bay. Trees on top of the peat emit oxygen and keep our air in tip top shape. Fire also shapes the bog as it can burn underground and is difficult to extinguish, hence the red under the peat layer. The third painting Baptism of Fire depicts this.

Other works to note are the West Storm by Grant Christofferson, with a misty background, splashing surf and windswept trees. This is a lovely way to appreciate our cool and blustery weather.

Blooming Beautiful features white lilies, by Laurel Johnson and has been featured on the posters around the area. These lilies were presented to Hera

by Zeus, so the legend goes, and she gifted them with scent and allowed mankind to enjoy them.

There are now a few other lilies with scent – the tiger lily and the stargazer.

The show is ongoing until July 28 at Gallery 1710 (56th St. in Tsawwassen). The gallery is open Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Breakthrough win for Jackson Alberta rider captures Tour de Delta’s White Spot Road Race in Tsawwassen BRIAN WIEBE

Optimist contributor

Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank continued its dominance of the Tour de Delta’s White Spot women’s road race, but it was a different name atop the podium this time.

Alberta native Alison Jackson captured the 103.6 kilometre race on the streets of Tsawwassen, sprinting ahead of fellow Canadian Marie-Soleil Blais and Portland’s Starla Teddergreen.

“This is my first win of the season and to win in Canada is special,” said Jackson, who finished third in the race in 2016. “I’ve wanted to win this race for several years now. I’ve been on the podium and my teammate Kendall Ryan won it last year, so we had to defend.”

Olivia Baril from Team Macogep Tornatech Specialized p/b Mazda decided that she wanted to try and win the race early.

The 21-year-old went away on the second half of the first lap and at one point had a 20 second gap, but wound up being caught halfway through the third lap.

However, it was that attack that caused a 12-rider break featuring some of the strongest riders in the field.

Jackson knew that if the peloton caught the breakaway, Ryan would likely come out with the win.

“For us, if the group came back together, Kendall was going to win it - we had 100 percent confidence in that,” explained the 30-yearold, who was the 2015 Canadian National Criterium Champion.

“There were some other girls in the break who I think the odds for them were better if it stayed away... Hagens Berman had three people in it and they kept rolling to keep it away. We thought if it was going to stay away, we were going to keep me fresh for the final.”

The gap between the break and the peloton was as much as 70 seconds at one point during the race, a difference that ended up being too much to make up.

Second place finisher Blais, who was riding for Team Canada, was part of the break the entire time.

“In the beginning, we had two riders and Hagens Berman had four, so the responsibility was

Alison Jackson celebrates at the finish line of Sunday’s Tour de Delta White Spot Road in Tsawwassen. mostly on them to make it work. It wasn’t a bad situation in the sense that Kendall was in the bunch, so we had a good chance at the podium,” the Montreal native said.

“We just rode it and the last kilometre got a bit chaotic, there was a crash, then someone attacked - so the sprint finish wasn’t as straightforward as I would have hoped, but that’s rarely the case anyway.”

For Jackson, winning on home soil is big for the former elite cross-country star. “It’s hard winning a bike race, whether it’s in Europe or America or here... so whenever you get a win, you’ve got to savour it - that’s what this is for me,” added Jackson, who graduated from Langley’s Trinity Western University with a degree in kinesiology in 2014.

If Ryan felt any fatigue after flying to Vancouver for BC Superweek, she certainly didn’t show it.

The three-time US national champion arrived the afternoon of Saturday’s Tour de Delta Ladner Criterium and decided to give it a go — winning the race for the sec-

ond straight year.

“I decided ‘What the hell?.’

I’m here two hours early and just wanted to hop in with my teammates and have some fun,” said Ryan.

Canadian National Criterium Champion Allison Beveridge also made up part of a stacked women’s field and finished second. Her presence was certainly felt by the other riders, despite the Calgary native downplaying the significance of having a target on her back.

“I just tried to have some fun out there. There wasn’t a ton of pressure, I kind of sat on the back of Tibco’s lead out,” said Beveridge, who was part of the 2016 Canadian Olympic team in Rio which won bronze in the team pursuit, setting a national record in the process.

Ryan knew all too well that Beveridge would push for a spot on the podium.

“Allison is pretty modest, she’s one of the people I was looking out for in the sprint,” the Ventura, California native explained. “I just decided to ride myself into the race and save my legs for the road race, it’s a big one. My teammates just had some fun getting the primes and they led me out flawlessly and all I have to do is thank them.”

Podium sweep in Delta for California rider BRIAN WIE BE

Optimist contributor

In his biography on the Elevate-KHS Pro Cycling website, Samuel Bassetti lists his favourite quote as “No excuses, play like a champion.”

And after two days of just missing the top step of the podium at the Tour de Delta, the 28-year-old California native played like a champion to win Sunday’s White Spot Road Race. Bassetti just managed to edge Langlois Brown rider Kaler Marshall to take the victory and the valuable UCI points to go along with it.

With eight laps to go in the 12-lap, 155.46 kilometre race, Team Canada rider Jack Burke and Evan Burtnik of XSpeed United Continental broke away from the group. The two built the gap up to 50 seconds with 7.5 laps remaining, but that’s when Burtnik crashed and Burke found himself caught by the peloton with seven to go.

A strong group of seven riders broke away with 6.5 laps left before another seven caught up to them and the pack couldn’t bridge across – so with six to go and barring a catastrophe, it was clear who the top 15 riders would be.

Samuel Bassetti capped a big weekend at the Tour de Delta by capturing Sunday’s White Rock Road Race in Tsawwassen. The California native also reached the podium in both criterium events.

“Travis McCabe, Pier-Andre Cote and I were all kind of at the back of the breakaway hanging out with each other,” said Bassetti, who was runner-up in Friday’s North Delta criterium and third

a day later in Ladner. “The finish came up pretty fast, suddenly it was 200 metres to go and the guys up front hadn’t started sprinting. I started my sprint, weaved through the rest of the group and

just nipped a couple guys at the line.”

The break had three riders from Floyd’s Pro Cycling, so it looked like they might pull out the win, but Bassetti had his

teammate George Simpson with him putting in some work.

“It was super good to have George there, but it was kind of up to the Floyd’s riders to make sure it was together for McCabe to sprint because he was definitely the favourite in the group,” he explained.

Saturday’s criterium featured a bit of everything to see. The large crowd saw a two-rider breakaway which looked like it might stick, thrilling crashes, and an exhilarating sprint to the finish line.

At the end of the bedlam, US National Criterium champion Travis McCabe stood tall, edging past Kiwi Campbell Stewart on the last straightaway to claim the title in the 60-lap, 54 kilometre race.

“It was a pretty chaotic race, there were crashes on so many laps, it was a lot of fighting and a lot of hard racing the entire time.

The German riders up front were just monsters so I think you saw the strong teams committing - the teams who thought they could win. Us, New Zealand, ElevateKHS... we timed it to perfection,” the 30-year-old from Denver, Colorado explained. “We’ve got our lead out down, we dialed it in and I think it showed - it was really a pitch perfect race for us.”

Rowers named to Canadian team for CanAmMex meet in Florida Delta Deas Rowing Club’s junior program is well-represented on the Canadian team that will be competing at this weekend’s CanAmMex Regatta in Florida.

Quinn Torok, Caitlin Lawrence and Sophie BrynneAtkins will be in Canadian colours thanks to their performances at the recent Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) Junior Selection Camp.

Torok is one of just two B.C. rowers among the 12 selected to the junior men’s team. Lawrence and ByrneAtkins are two of four B.C. rowers on the women’s team.

“Prior to our Junior Selection Camp, these athletes were identified as potential National Team athletes through their performances at on-water qualification events and ergometer testing,” said Adam Parfitt, RCA National Team Operations Director. “They have worked hard to get to this point, and we are excited for our NextGen high performance rowers to get the opportunity to compete for Canada at the international level.”

The Canadian team is currently part of a week-long training camp at the U.S. National Rowing Centre prior to the regatta.

Pat was predeceased in 2018 by his wife of 63 years, Rita.

Pat is survived by his children: Ernie (Tracy), Gordon (Sharon), Diane (Sandy) and Janice. Grandchildren: Chelsea (Curtis), Michael (Alexis), Zachary, Mandy (Adam), Bradley (Derek) and Taylore (Peter). Great Grandchildren: Nathaniel, Seth and Brody. Patrick is survived by his sisters Rose and Rita; predeceased by his siblings: Alice, Helen, Lawrence, Jim, Catherine, Nora, Frank, Agnes, Joseph, Claire, Mike and Ron. Pat lived his life large and left a blazing trail of fond memories in his wake. No matter whose life path he crossed with, they have experienced memorable moments of every description. He loved his family and friends with a ferocity that knew no limits. This is a man who “lived his dash” with abundance!

Some might say “excess.” Memories of this small statured man of massive spirit will live on with smiles and laughs.

Memorial Service for Patrick will be held on Monday, September 16, 2019 at 2:00 PM at the Ladner United Church, Ladner, BC.

With a tear in our eye and a glass held high we announce the passing of our father, Donald Wharton Redmond at the age of 91 (January 23, 1928 - May 22, 2019). He goes to meet our mother Bonnie (1999). Don is survived by his three sons, Brad (Tereza, Michael, Ryan and Natasha), Brent (Wendy, Hunter and Allysha), and Bruce (Mercede and Deanna).

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.

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.

RICHARDSON, Lorna Joyce (née Wingrove)

Quote from Dad: “Family first and he is your brother and you will be there to help, no matter what”

Lorna Joyce Richardson (née Wingrove) was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on January 9, 1936. At 83 years, she passed away June 30, 2019 at Delta Hospital.

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.

Lorna is predeceased by her parents Oliver and Agnus Wingrove and her brothers Lyle and Arden Wingrove. She is survived by her husband Alan Richardson, her sons Stephen, Doug, and David Richardson.

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

Lorna and Alan married June 9, 1959, and she obtained a degree from U of T in Physiotherapy.

Lorna was a long-time member of Delta Hospital Axillary.

The family would like to thank the staff at Delta Hospital for all their care for Lorna. Please join the family for a Celebration of Lorna’s Life on July 11, 2019 at 2:00pm at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road, Delta, BC. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Delta Hospital Foundation.

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

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. We would love for anyone who had their lives touched by him to come by and share a story. Dad would have got a kick out of telling his stories, so please come by and share some of your stories.

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

Ross had a full life, complete with boating, skiing and travel. He was steadfast, worked and owned Jarvis Electric for over 40 years. His work was a source of pride for him. The lower mainland was his home and he always loved the ocean, beach and mountains.

He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and his wonderful dog Jackson.

Ross has left us all too soon Friends are invited to join the family for a celebration of life on Sunday, July 21st at 11:30 am at Beach Grove Golf Club, 5946 12th Avenue, Delta, BC. (Tsawwassen) Donations in Ross’s memory may be made to the Delta Hospice Society. deltahospice.org

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
