Messagereceived:Qualtrough

Incumbent retains Delta seat but Liberals reduced to minority government 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

Carla Qualtrough is heading back to Ottawa.

The Liberal incumbent retained her seat in Delta in Monday’s federal election with a comfortable 4,000-vote margin over Conservative Tanya Corbet.

At her campaign headquarters on Scott Road in North Delta, supporters were in a good mood when the polls closed in B.C. at 7 p.m. and spirits picked up even more when news stations predicted a Liberal minority government about 20 minutes later.

“I’m very happy that there is a Liberal government prediction overall.

Of course I was hoping for a majority because I think that makes governing more stable, but I’m excited about the prospects of moving forward with our progressive agenda,” Qualtrough said.

For the next hour, Qualtrough worked the room, thanking her supporters and well-wishers while keeping an eye on the local results.

Just before 9 p.m., she told her supporters that several news outlets had declared her the winner, which garnered a huge roar from the crowd and chants of “Carla, Carla, Carla.”

After thanking supporters, Qualtrough was joined at the podium by her husband Eron Main and children Jessica and Matthew.

Main introduced his wife in an emotional address, speaking about Qualtrough’s character and her tireless efforts over the past four years, making special mention of the recent accessibility act that was brought into law.

“She was a representative that people could rely

Qualtrough then thanked her family as well as her campaign team.

and that’s what we are going to do.”

Following her address, Qualtrough commented to the Optimist about the national picture and thoughts of a possible coalition.

“I think we need to work together. Canadians have sent us a strong message that we need to do better,” she said. “I’m looking forward to delivering for Delta, but also figuring out how to work together for a progressive Canada.

I don’t know the details of what that will look like yet, but I’m looking forward to being part of the team that figures that out.”

She said the win, however, was bittersweet after several colleagues lost on election night.

Delta saw a 69.32 per cent voter turnout with 53,288 of 76,871 registered electors casting a ballot — the ninth highest riding in the province, according to Elections Canada.

Federal Election

Conservatives can’t reclaim stronghold Second place finisher Tanya Corbet only sees small jump in popular vote from four years ago 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 was more disappointment for the Conservative machine in Monday’s federal election as it failed to reclaim the former stronghold of Delta.

Having the volunteers and resources, candidate Tanya Corbet and her team were hoping to regain the riding the Conservatives lost by a wide margin four years earlier, but it ended up being more of the same.

After Monday’s results were official, a clearly disappointed but smiling Corbet arrived with her husband Matt at her election night party at Gracie’s Next Door eatery in Tsawwassen to thank her volunteers for all their hard work.

“Words can’t express how incredible people are and how we’ve come together and worked so many hours. Our team has knocked on over 25,000 doors all across Delta.

We’ve been through it all.

We’ve been through hot days. We’ve been through rainy days. But it didn’t stop any of us. We kept on persevering and we kept on talking to everyone in Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta. We had a lot of great support and heard a lot of great feedback from people around the community,” she said.

Corbet quipped her husband and kids would be able to see more of her now after what was a very busy last few weeks.

“I hope you had fun along the way because I know we had a ton of fun.

We’ve had a lot of laughs and a lot of jokes and there are a lot of memories in the bank… we had a great time. I just want to thank my campaign team.

I could not have done it without your guys’ support,” she added.

A campaign handler the following day told the Optimist Corbet declined an interview request.

In the 2015 election,

With husband Matt by her side, Conservative candidate Tanya Corbet thanks campaign volunteers at an election night party in Tsawwassen.

Liberal newcomer Carla Qualtrough received 49.1 per cent of the vote in the newly reconfigured Delta riding to defeat

Conservative incumbent Kerry-Lynne Findlay by 9,000 votes. Findlay got 32.8 per cent of the vote, while Corbet received 33.1

per cent this time.

Qualtrough’s share of the vote in this election actually slipped by about eight per cent but

instead of going to the Conservatives, who even had party leader Andrew Scheer in Tsawwassen in the late stages of the campaign, those votes went elsewhere.

It’s a far cry from the days when Conservative MP John Cummins easily dominated the polls, or even when Findlay, who in this election made a political comeback in South Surrey-White Rock, won the former stronghold in 2011 with 54.2 per cent per cent of the vote.

Corbet was acclaimed as the Conservative candidate in May, saying she felt it was time to take her experience to the national level.

During the campaign she said, “I am committed to providing strong, local representation in Ottawa that will put the needs of Delta first.”

The late campaign even saw a mass endorsement flyer in mailboxes from longtime Delta city politician Lois Jackson.

Federal Election

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada.

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

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

NDP candidate buoyed by party leader, results

Anderson-Fennell says message hit home 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

Calling it an exciting campaign, New Democrat Randy Anderson-Fennell was pleased with the results of Monday’s federal election.

Anderson-Fennell finished third in the polls garnering 8,654 votes (16.2 per cent).

When the Optimist spoke to him early in the night at his election party at the Sundance Pub in East Ladner, he said the early results were as expected.

“We knew going into this that it was going to be an exciting campaign and that people were going to hear our message. We are excited about the message we have got out there and how people have responded to it,” he said. “The uprise that we have seen across the country is really exciting.”

He said he was proud of the campaign the NDP ran in Delta.

“When we started it was a very quiet campaign, but it really built momentum,” he said. “People were really happy with our platform when we went door-todoor. The one message I heard over and over again was how impressed people were with our leader, especially when they got a chance to meet him.

“I was impressed myself

with the level of candidates we had here in Delta. I’m not surprised because we have always had good candidates. The level of respect amongst all of us was incredible. It was really nice to see how we as a campaign went out there and all talked about our platforms and what we wanted to do and not worry about any type of negative type of campaigning.”

Anderson-Fennell said he was not surprised to see party leader Jagmeet Singh’s popularity rise throughout the election.

“I’ve seen Jagmeet many, many times, including during the last provincial election. I was working for one of the election offices and I remember being in the audience listening, and I was impressed by what he was saying, but then I looked around the room and there was a lot of youth there and they were just in awe, so that really told me something,” he said.

Green candidate Craig DeCraene finished fourth with 3,310 votes (6.2 per cent).

“I’m very pleased with my vote total. I would have liked to have won like any other candidate, but I set out to having more votes than when I ran in the civic election in which I had just a little over a 1,000 votes, so to come

in at well over 3,000 I was really happy,” he said. “I think the campaign went well. I could have done some more door knocking, but I think I did the best I could with the time and resources that I had.”

Angelina Ireland from the People’s Party was fifth with 937 votes (1.8 per cent).

“Congratulations, Carla.

It has been my honour to stand alongside the other candidates and participate in the democratic process,” she said in a statement to the Optimist.

“The people have spoken and I deeply respect that. We as a community will continue to work hard together, love each other and be proud of our country.”

In a brief follow-up interview, Ireland said she was obviously disappointed with the results.

“You hope that you have made some kind of impact and I hope that I have done that,” she said.

“I have to get back to work and focus on that. I will still be involved in my community and in the future if there is an opportunity where someone feels I could be of service, I will always keep that open.”

Independent candidates Amarit Bains and Tony Bennett rounded out the polls with 397 and 383 votes, respectively.

Federal Election

NDP candidate is choice of Delta students Randy Anderson-Fennell comes out on top with 26.5% of vote after more than 7,400 cast ballots SANDOR GYARMATI

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

If it was up to Delta students, this riding would have a New Democrat MP. Over 7,400 Delta high school and elementary students cast ballots in the national Student Vote program as part of Monday’s federal election, and it was NDP candidate Randy Anderson-Fennell who came out on top.

Anderson-Fennell received 1,973 votes for almost 26.5 per cent of the vote. He finished third in the actual election with 16.2 per cent of the vote.

Liberal Carla Qualtrough, who was reelected Monday, was the second choice among students with just over 23.5 per cent of the vote. Green candidate Craig DeCraene was third (almost 19.3 per cent), followed by Conservative Tanya Corbet (almost 18.7 per cent), the People’s Party of Canada’s Angelina Ireland (4.2 per cent) and independents Amarit Bains (four per

cent) and Tony Bennett (3.8 per cent).

“I saw how Jagmeet Singh reached the youth, and our platform was one that lifted people up.

It gave hope to students needing financial help with post-secondary education. It made home ownership possible for people who thought they could never own a home.

It offered hope in so many areas where there previously was none. That’s why I ran. It was about hope,” said AndersonFennell after learning the local Student Vote result.

As far as the national results for the Student Vote program, the Liberals took 22.3 per cent of the popular vote and won 109 seats to form a minority government.

The NDP formed the official opposition with 24.8 per cent of the vote and 98 seats. The Conservatives received 25 per cent of the popular vote and 94 seats.

The Green Party got 18.2 per cent of the popular

vote and 28 seats, while the Bloc Québecois took 1.3 per cent of the vote and nine seats.

All the party leaders won their seats.

As far as individual school counts, the results

varied across Delta with Anderson-Fennell edging out Qualtrough at Delta Secondary. At South Delta Secondary, DeCraene won with Qualtrough in second followed by AndersonFennell.

Anderson-Fennell came out on top by a wide margin at North Delta Secondary but it was a different story at the Southpointe Academy, a Tsawwassen private school, where Corbet had

the most votes.

The results also varied among the elementary schools with DeCraene, for example, winning by a landslide at Ladner Elementary, while Qualtrough topped the polls at English Bluff Elementary and Anderson-Fennell won at Holly Elementary.

Students across the country learned about the election process and then cast ballots last week a few days prior to the real thing. The results were announced Monday evening.

Student volunteers took on the roles of returning officer, poll clerks and others in an attempt to create as authentic an experience as possible. Students even had to bring their identification to simulate actual voting at a polling station.

More than 1.1 million elementary and secondary school students participated this year with results reported from 7,747 schools in all 338 federal ridings.

Teengetspolicewarning over inappropriate text 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

• Oct. 13, 10:05 p.m., 400-block of 56th Street: Complainant reported hearing three loud bangs in the vicinity. Police conducted patrols and were advised by a civilian that a group of teenagers was using fireworks around the time of the report, before running into a residence.

Police conducted a door knock and spoke to the property representative and her friends. The group admitted to using fireworks and was warned of bylaw regulations/consequences. Complainant was advised of outcome.

• Oct. 14, 5:48 p.m., 500-block of 56th Street: Complainant reported that her wallet and prescriptions were stolen from her vehicle. The theft occurred when her vehicle was parked at a restaurant. Her leather wallet and two prescriptions in a plastic bag underneath a jacket on the front seat were taken. Complainant advised that her passenger door does not lock and that she didn’t realize her wallet was missing until she got home to Nanaimo.

Complainant advised to contact Equifax and Trans Union.

• Oct. 15, 7:57 a.m., 400-block of English Bluff Road: An employee at English Bluff Elementary reported that two picnic tables had been defaced with graffiti occurring sometime over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Police observed the tables were written on with black permanent markers. The school principal is aware and maintenance has been called to sand off the graffiti. Estimated cost of removal: $100. School liaison officer advised.

• Oct. 16, 9:54 p.m.: Complainant reported a text message sent to her phone, but addressed to her teenage daughter, with slightly inappropriate content. Police contacted the texter, and determined another teen had found the complainant’s number and daughter’s name, and sent the message as a joke. Police warned texter against such behaviour.

• Oct. 19, 8:19 p.m., Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal: Police called to ferry terminal after reports of two aggressive and intoxicated individuals. Due to intoxication both individuals asked to leave property, and they eventually departed on foot. They returned later that day, and police again responded, this time transporting both individuals to a SkyTrain station. Individuals received a 24-hour ban from ferry property.

LADNER

• Oct. 14, 4:33 a.m., 5000-block of 48th Avenue: Complainant called to report two youths who were breaking items from the donation bin. Upon arrival, police located two youths ages 12 and 13, who both admitted to the allegations. They advised they both had snuck out of their houses and were apologetic. The youths’

guardians attended with brooms and dust pans for the youths to clean up the mess. No other observable damage to property.

Strong verbal warning given to both youths.

• Oct. 14, 1:47 p.m., 5100-block of Central Avenue: Complainant reported a group of youths smoking marijuana behind Hawthorne Elementary. Police located the youths behind the school, but the group took off running through the park. Police seized two marijuana grinders and a longboard abandoned by the youths. Grinders submitted for destruction.

• Oct. 15, 10:35 a.m., 4900-block of Linden Drive: Complainant phoned police regarding a fraudulent phone account that was opened in her name. Complainant went to the bank to take out a loan and was told that her credit score was poor due to an outstanding phone bill of $1,749. Complainant reported this information to phone company and learned the account was fraudulent. Police were informed that company’s fraud section will be handling further investigation.

Phone company removed the account from the complainant’s name as she does not owe any money on the account.

• Oct. 15, 12:06 p.m., 7100-block of Venture Street: Complainant reported a large garbage bin was stolen from his company over Thanksgiving weekend with the contents dumped in the area of Deltaport Way and Highway 17.

Garbage has since been cleaned up. Complainant also advised the bin was lime green, large and made of metal and would have required the proper vehicle to lift and move it. A new bin will cost the company $15,000.

Newcomer loses $6,000 to scammer

A newcomer to Canada, who had managed to save $6,000 after working in Delta at a fast food restaurant for six months, has fallen victim to a scam.

According to a news release from Delta police, a scammer pretended to be a police officer investigating the woman for money laundering.

“Unfortunately the woman was convinced she was talking to a police officer, and was instructed to purchase $6,000 worth

of bitcoins, which she did through a machine in Surrey,” said DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf.

“We’re asking for assistance in spreading the word to media outlets and organizations who work with newcomers to Canada to help educate people. Canadian police officers will never call you and ask for or demand payment. If this happens to you, it is a scam. Hang up immediately.”

Leykauf said in this

instance the number appeared to come from Department of Services Canada, however there are a number of apps that will spoof phone numbers.

Leykauf points out that bitcoin deposits are not traceable, and can be accessed by a fraudster anywhere in the world.

Scammers also often request payment through gift cards. She said governments in Canada do not ask for payment via bitcoin or gift cards.

Murphy’s Law

A

TED MURPHY

n expected blue wave washed across many Vancouver suburbs Monday, but somehow Delta, once a right-of-centre stronghold, didn’t get wet.

One of the many storylines in this federal election was how many B.C. ridings the Conservatives would reclaim after a disastrous showing here four years ago. The Liberals jumped from two seats in 2011 to 17 last time, so a common school of thought was that many of these ridings would revert to blue this time around.

And that happened in places like Richmond, Ridge Meadows, Cloverdale, Mission and South SurreyWhite Rock, where former Delta Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay knocked off Liberal incumbent Gordon Hogg. In Delta, however, where right wing rebel John Cummins was elected six straight times, that was not the case as Liberal cabinet minister Carla Qualtrough was re-elected by a rather comfortable 4,000-vote margin.

With a Conservative resurgence in the province, it’s clear that Andrew Scheer’s message was resonating in friendly environs, yet in Delta, where you’d think it would be well received given historical results, it failed to move the needle. In fact, Conservative candidate Tanya Corbet only improved on Findlay’s popular vote total by a measly .3 per cent.

If the national campaign did enough to help Conservatives reclaim seats, then it stands to reason the outcome in Delta came down to the local level.

That’s not to say Corbet is the reason for the loss as her resume and profile were more than adequate, although skipping candidate forums not of her liking didn’t do her, like her predecessor, any favours.

Rather, I think it’s a case of Qualtrough, who was very much in the right place at the right time in 2015, growing on the electorate to the point where a protest vote four years ago became a viable option this time around. It should be noted that Qualtrough’s share of the popular vote actually declined by seven per cent, dropping from 49 to 42, but rather than it going to Corbet to make it a real horse race, almost all of it was spread out among the bottom five candidates.

The blue wave showed up in B.C. as anticipated, but when it got to Delta it ran into a new red force.

The results are in thanks to all those who run the elections

W

ell, that was fun!

Forty days of campaigning culminating in a minority government in Ottawa. The next few months should be very interesting, to say the least.

Behind all the campaign rallies, leader announcements, party ads and so many candidate signs is the army of people required to conduct an election. A space in the mall was designated the Elections Canada office for Delta, where all the people who run the election huddle to prepare for the population to cast their ballots.

I worked the election as a central poll supervisor, both the advance polls at the South Delta Recreation Centre and on election day at Beach Grove Elementary.

I’m constantly amazed at how secure our system is, even though it is just a piece of paper and, this time, an oversized pencil.

Everyone working the poll is hired as a temporary Elections Canada employee. Yes, we were being paid for our time as some people thought it was a volunteer position. That’s where your $300 million goes when an election is called – lots of local people who spend that money in our community.

We had people ask about those pencils, and why the ballots aren’t marked in ink. “Is that so my vote can be erased?” was a question that some people asked. Rest

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

assured, no vote was or would ever be erased. There are just too many people involved in the process, from poll workers to the people working for the parties.

The ballots have to balance with the number of voters, and a ballot erased would be considered spoiled. Too many spoiled ballots would trigger an investigation.

And the penalties for messing with our electoral system are no slap on the wrist.

One thing you will hardly notice is people working the polls don’t wear any party colours.

There were no blues, reds, oranges, purples, greens or aquas (the colour of the Bloc) at the polling station. It’s a small thing, but just speaks to the detail that is taken to ensure neutrality in the election process.

There may be a few hiccups in an election, especially at the polls.

We aren’t experts, we are brought

in, trained quickly and deployed with a ballot box and a bunch of slips of paper. But we all follow a very specific, secure process, and in the end the will of the people is expressed.

It looks like 66 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, a little below the last election. There are always calls for mandatory voting, but I think that is the wrong thing to do. The people who vote spend time understanding who they want representing them, and at 66 per cent, that is more than an accurate representation of the will of the population. Ask any statistician, that is a great sample size.

A vote is a privilege in Canada, and should be your choice to make. Choosing not to exercise that right is also your right. I see our electoral system more than a chance to choose a government, but an opportunity to honour the thousands of people over the last century who fought for your right to mark that page. That’s why you should vote.

Congratulations to Carla Qualtrough on her re-election, and thanks for your service to all of us in Delta.

Letters

Editor: I recently came across a book, Across the Bridge from Ladner’s Landing, by the late Gwen Szychter. It was filled with references to your paper.

Back when my family lived in Delta Manor, 1928 to 1934, my parents knew the editor very well.

I believe his name was Edgar Dunning.

The book contains a detailed map of Delta Manor and the names of many of its residents.

I was only a boy at the time but many of the names brought to mind memories about them — the Foggs, the Spanton sisters, the Casements, Ernie Sauerberg, George Palmer, the Hippsleys, the Frouds, the Johnsons, Mrs. Dawson, the Draneys and

the Fells, to name a few.

It was a great trip down memory lane.

My parents bought five acres at the end of Sycamore Road, built a cottage, a chicken house and brooder house, kept 300 chickens and grew fruit and vegetables.

Unfortunately, the Depression killed the markets for eggs and produce and my father had a part-time job with Canada Customs before selling out and returning to England.

Notwithstanding these circumstances, my parents said their stay in Ladner was their most happiest because of the friendly neighbours and community spirit. My father, Tommy Chutter, was the founder-president of the local branch of the

Canadian Legion, was the dramatic director of the local Gilbert & Sullivan light operettas, served on the parent-teachers association and the Anglican Church council.

My mother, Clover Chutter, was also an exarmy officer with overseas service (nursing sister) and responded to emergency calls from Dr. Grimson. My parents’ closest friends were Dr. Julius Caeser Grimson and Mrs. Lavona Grimson, and “Slim” Cameron, the local wildlife protection officer, and Mrs. Marge Cameron.

Well, I’m now 95 and living in Ottawa, but if by odd chance any of your readers remember the Chutters, I’d love to hear from them.

Tunnel won’t offer drivers much relief Editor: For this 40-year commuter the announcement of an eight-lane replacement tunnel means business as usual.

We already have three lanes in each direction in the rush hours when the counterflow is open. It does, of course, improve the lot of the reverse direction traffic in rush hour now fighting its way through a one-lane barrel, and so benefits all those container trucks bound for the port, or other folk rushing to catch a ferry in the morning, and both ways during the rest of the day.

But for city-bound commuters — nada. The only way this can be improved with the current proposal is if the “transit” lane, until such time as transit means SkyTrain or light rail, is used to accommodate high occupancy vehicles (HOV) as well as buses.

From my experience, the Oak Street Bridge is just as likely to be a commuter bottleneck as the Massey Tunnel.

There will be little overall improvement to the Highway 99 corridor without extra lanes on Oak Street (not likely) or another crossing of the North Arm of the Fraser

River.

A regional transportation plan, with coordination and cooperation of all levels of government, and bridge ownership is needed to solve this problem.

Resurrection of a Fraser Street bridge (or tunnel) comes to mind as a possible solution.

In my view the best solution to the current Massey crossing is a new tunnel, but twin bored tunnels, not another immersed barrel. This would avoid all in-river excavation.

Environmentalists, and the fish, would be happy.

Line between order and chaos blurred Editor: At the best of times, there is a thin line between order and chaos. At the worst of times, there is no line at all.

The latter is eminently the case of the George Massey Tunnel merge, where for many weeks now the battle lines have been metaphorically drawn by literally no lines whatsoever having been drawn. Combined with the dubious merits of the new merge system, this genu-

inely is a recipe for chaos.

The hour at which one must grace the two-leaf clover to maintain full velocity has moved from a physically painful 7 a.m. to an existential-dreadinducing 6:20 a.m.

This is almost certainly provincial jurisdiction, but may I please invoke any and all of our elected representatives to bend the ear of the Ministry of Transportation to compel whatever contractors scurried off with job 98 per

cent done to deliver the coup de gras.

If road lines are beneath the artistic proclivities of those hired to perform the job, may I suggest adding “effective road lines” as a line item of larger project, including murals with exhortations to “Accelerate Together, Comrades!” and educational illustrations of Bernouilli’s Principle. The direction of history is to give us directions and let this fade into history.

Cameras are everywhere to catch selfish driving

Editor: Hey, lady, cameras are all over, so let’s review your temper tantrum.

You ignored a stop sign while I applied my bike brakes, thus preventing you bowling me over with

your two tons of steel. It was I who should have thrown a tantrum, not you.

Pedestrians and cyclists have rights, too, not just drivers busy talking to their dashboards instead of driving with due care

and attention.

Smile, your selfish driving made candid camera.

You wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on if you’d hit me. Cameras, they’re all over the place these days.

Wheelchair user can’t get bus to pick him up Longtime Ladner resident Ritchie Brennick is frustrated by the lack of accessible stops 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

He’s getting tired of spending a fortune on cabs to get around because a bus won’t pick him up.

Longtime Ladner resident Ritchie Brennick, who began using a wheelchair a couple of years ago, says he’s fed up and wants to raise awareness about the lack of bus stops in the community where transit is willing to pick up disabled passengers.

Waiting at a bus stop on 46A Street near his Port Guichon home leaves him frustrated when a shuttle will slow down but drive by, leaving him to wheel himself through the streets to a local store or take a cab to get out of town for an appointment.

“Right around the corner, there’s three bus stops and I don’t get picked up at any of them. From what I can gather, the nearest stop they’ll pick me up is two miles away. I went through a winter being stuck inside,” he said.

Saying HandyDART is problematic because the

service is not always available around his schedule of appointments, Brennick said there shouldn’t be any problems for disabled people to take public transit.

He also said there shouldn’t be any problem lowering a lift at his neighbourhood stop because one community shuttle bus driver did just that when she saw him waiting.

“They’re equipped with ramps and have wheelchair accessibility.

She explained why they normally wouldn’t stop for me and that’s because it wasn’t designated for handicapped people who can’t walk, but she was able to take me, though.

I’ve been on a million buses in Vancouver and have no issues there, they pick me up everywhere.”

TransLink told the Optimist that every bus in its fleet is accessible and can carry two wheelchairs or mobility aids. Not all bus stops are accessible, however, so passengers may want to use the Trip Planner tool or call to find the nearest accessible bus stop to their starting point

or destination.

As far as accessible bus stop upgrades near Brennick, TransLink notes that an eastbound stop and a westbound stop were recently completed on 45th Avenue in Ladner, and are waiting the proper signage to indicate they’re wheelchair accessible.

TransLink says it has developed, through consultations with stakeholders, its Access Transit Strategy to work towards a transit system that is as accessible as possible for everyone.

A TransLink spokesperson explained bus stops are owned and maintained by the municipalities in the region.

The majority of bus stops in Metro Vancouver are wheelchair accessible.

Although TransLink is not responsible for municipal bus stops, the transit authority works with municipalities to make improvements.

TransLink has programs like the Transit Related Road Improvement Program and the Walking Infrastructure to Transit Fund, which looks at how to improve access to stops and convenience for customers, the spokesperson explained.

Delta engineering director Steven Lan said the city has been working to upgrade bus stops to accommodate wheelchair users.

“As per TransLink’s guidelines, an accessible transit stop requires a raised curb and a threemetre wide surface for buses to be able to pick up passengers using a wheelchair,” Lan stated. “The city has been active in providing these upgrades in conjunction with our Neighbourhood Roads Improvement Program.

We also have responded based on resident requests to install accessible stops where required.”

Delta school enrollment exceeds projections

Student population up 221 from last year to stand at 15,500 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

Enrollment numbers are up again for the Delta School District.

According to district staff, enrollment is up 221 students from last year, which is 80 more than what had been projected during last spring’s budget process.

At the elementary level, there are 70 more pupils in North Delta and 68

more in Ladner, although Tsawwassen is down by five.

Secondary schools in North Delta are up 66, while South Delta Secondary is up 44. Delta Secondary is down 22.

The overall student population currently stands at exactly 15,500.

Like most school districts in B.C., Delta had been suffering from declining enrollment for a number of years, which

has had a big-time impact on annual operating budgets. Some years saw the enrollment drop by hundreds, forcing school trustees to make a lot of tough financial decisions, including closing Delta Manor and Boundary Beach elementary schools as well as cuts in areas such as educational assistants.

In more recent years that trend came to an end and enrollment stabilized.

The district has seen a

series of small increases and the current projection is for enrollment to remain fairly level for the next couple of years before moderate, steady increases occur.

Delta reached a student enrollment of 18,763 in 1980, which was the district’s all-time high.

It would have been useful during the massive fire in Burns Bog three years ago, but the Delta Fire Department will soon have a new piece of equipment.

Delta council recently approved spending up to $120,000 to convert a department trailer into a specialized sprinkler protection unit to help fight interface fires.

A civic report notes Delta has had some significant fires in Burns Bog and other interface areas, so there is a need for the department to be equipped with such a unit.

The unit is used to dampen roofs and structures to form a wet line and prevent wildfires from moving into the built environment.

The report pointed to a 2016 fire in Burns Bog that quickly jumped the highway into the adjacent

The fire department has a trailer that is suitable to

Deputy fire Chief Brad Wilson told the Optimist they’ll repurpose the technical rescue trailer into what will be called the Wildfire Protection Trailer.

Wilson said water from the sprinklers creates its own weather system around the protected homes and has proven to be effective in preventing fires from spreading to buildings.

Beach volleyball courts proposed for DSS SANDOR GYARMATI

It’s looking like beach volleyball will be coming to Ladner.

Delta council has approved a staff recommendation to enter into an agreement with a private company to install four beach volleyball courts at Delta Secondary at the company’s cost.

The deal must still be finalized and approved by the Delta school board.

The city was approached by Urban Recreation Ltd., which has beach volleyball courts at other locations in the Lower Mainland and operates a volleyball league.

Delta staff reviewed possible locations and determined the most suit-

Metro gives approval to industrial proposal SANDOR GYARMATI

PUBLIC HeARINg & OCtOBeR 29, 2019 Delta City Council will hold a Public Hearing, in accordance with the Local Government Act, to consider the following proposed projects and related applications: Date: Time: Place:

October 29, 2019 7:00 p.m.

A large-scale industrial development adjacent to Burns Bog has received Metro Vancouver’s go ahead.

The Metro Vancouver board of directors has voted in favour of the MK Delta Lands proposal that has been winding its way through the application process for several years.

Earlier this summer, the Metro board granted first and second readings to a land use designation change from agricultural to industrial and referred the proposal to municipalities for comment.

Richmond council was the only one to formerly vote in opposition to the City of Delta’s proposed amendment to the Metro Vancouver regional growth strategy.

The development west of Highway 91 near Nordel Way and the South Fraser Perimeter Road includes 2.2 million square feet of industrial space.

Delta council granted conditional approval following a public hearing in the summer of 2016, but final approval was pending a number of conditions being met.

The plan also includes the transfer of all of MK Delta’s other land holdings, which total 132.7 hectares (328 acres), to the City of Delta for conservation, including land east of Highway 91 where the company had originally sought to build housing and commercial.

The company, among other things, also committed $6 million to agricultural drainage and irrigation improvements.

The Agricultural Land Commission granted conditional approval for Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion.

A report to the Metro Vancouver board notes the addition of the MK Delta property to the regional industrial lands inventory would provide an additional 43.8 hectares (108.2 acres) of industrial land “which would be of local and regional benefit from an industrial-activity, goods movement and employment generating perspective.”

Delta council still needs to grant final approval, which is expected in a few weeks.

A Council meeting is scheduled to immediately follow this Public Hearing in the event Council wishes to give further consideration to the projects at that time.

Any persons who believe that their interest in property will be affected by the proposed projects shall be given an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing on matters contained in the bylaws and/or proposed by the applications.

Should you have any concerns or comments you wish to communicate to Council in advance of the Public Hearing, you can write to: Mayor and Council City of Delta 4500 Clarence Taylor Crescent Delta, BC V4K 3E2 Fax: 604-946-3390 Email: mayor-council@delta.ca Correspondence addressed to Mayor and Council will form part of the public record for this Public Hearing.

“It was my wife who signed me up after becoming very concerned about my health,” said David Williams, who had been diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes and atrial fibrillation. “When we mentioned the program to my cardiologist, she was thrilled. In fact, she had already planned to recommend the program for me as well.”

For now, membership at Live Well isn’t something that is covered by MSP or even all extended health plans, but Macey is looking ahead to the day when doctors prescribe exercise as easily as they do medications.

Sarah Macey knows how tough it can be for some people to find the motivation to take better care of themselves. That’s especially true if they have chronic health issues or worry they won’t feel at home in a gym potentially packed with intimidatingly young and buff bodies.

So the longtime South Delta resident, who has run a popular Tsawwassen physiotherapy clinic with her husband Ryan for more than a decade, wanted to offer something new for those who want to make healthier life choices but need a professional helping hand to take that first step.

After her sister-in-law saw serious health problems improve dramatically through membership at a Live Well Exercise Clinic in White Rock, she decided to look into opening a local outlet of the growing health franchise that now has more than 20 clinics

Serving Delta for over 30 years

After nine dedicated years as a valued member of the Delta Police Department, Caber retired from active service last week.

A yellow Labrador retriever, Caber has served with distinction as Canada’s first dedicated victim services K9 after being donated by the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS), a nonprofit that breeds, raises and trains dogs in order to partner them with people living with disabilities.

While most people associate police dogs with the pursuit and capture of criminals, Caber played a different role as a facility dog, where his gentle nature helped comfort more than 2,000 victims of crime and trauma, including those in distress from house fires, domestic violence, sexual assault, accidents, suicide or homicide.

Support animals help people in a variety of ways, including reducing blood pressure, lowering heart rates and increasing oxytocin levels while reducing the negative effects of the stress hormone cortisol.

“Caber’s impact is far reaching but it is, perhaps, most felt by the individuals who he comforted,” said dog handler Kim Gramlich.

“Some of our clients I think about often are the boy who could only be consoled by Caber after learning of his father’s death or the young girl

Caber, who retired last week after nine years with the Delta police, was Canada’s first dedicated victim services K9.

who was only able to testify against her abusers because of Caber’s unfaltering support in court.”

Caber also played an important role aiding distraught Delta high school students after the 2010 murder of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei. His legacy extends beyond the Lower Mainland by providing support to the community of Fort McMurray after the 2016 wildfire, and he was also on the scene to assist people in need after the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. Caber was one of eight dogs that worked alongside the FBI’s Office for Victims Assistance, providing help to victims and families in the aftermath of the tragedy.

“Because Caber was the first of his kind in Canada, he became known in the department and on social media as The Dogfather,” said Delta police Chief Neil Dubord. “His legacy is sure to be long and last-

ing.”

There are now over 46 justice facility dogs working across Canada.

Gramlich also founded Justice Facility Dogs Canada, which advocates for the continued use of these dogs in Canadian courts.

“We are so proud of Caber; he has not only been an exceptional justice facility dog, he started it all,” said PADS executive director Laura Watamanuk. “Because of Kim’s efforts — with Caber at her side — justice facility dogs can now be found in victim services agencies all across the country.

They meet people on their very worst day, helping them face it with hope and a gentle friend.”

While Caber is moving on to a well-earned retirement, a new golden retriever named Puma has been provided by PADS and was sworn in by Dubord earlier this month.

Tsawwassen teen qualifies for Scholar’s Cup at Yale ELIZABETH MURRAY

Optimist contributor

South Delta Secondary’s Art Yu may be a future contestant on Jeopardy! if he continues in his quest for knowledge.

The 13-year-old Grade 9 student is heading to the Global World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions at Yale University in November.

After sweeping the regional round in

Vancouver earlier this year, Yu and two other members of his PACE team prepared for the September global round in Sydney, Australia, where he qualified for forthcoming finals in the U.S. Studying for the global round in Australia was a “priority” item on Yu’s summer agenda but that also included the list of odd-jobs that earned him most of the $1,500 registration fee. Friends, neigh-

bours and parishioners of St. David’s Anglican Church, where Yu and his parents worship, were quick to sign up for this pop-up dogsbody.

Regional competitions are held yearly in cities around the world and are open to students in grades 6 to 12. The program attracts some 20,000 participants in two age groups. Global level competitions are held once a year in six cities, the final

one at Yale.

In his first year of competition, Yu won 17 regional faux-gold medals (known as SEALS) in the junior division (up to 13 years) and two prestigious Asimov Awards. One Asimov trophy was awarded for being the highest individual-score student in the curriculum part of the Scholar’s Challenge. The second was for excellence in a science category.

Yu then added the more

distinctive SEAL that entitled him to compete in Sydney, where he achieved the one he will wear to Yale.

Despite some dreary weather, last month’s Winded fun run raised a record amount for charity.

Hosted by Four Winds Brewery for the third straight year, the Boundary Bay run raised $11,809.53 for Deltassist Family and Community Services.

Almost 250 runners took part in the five-kilometre run on Sept. 22, proceeds from which support programs and services provided by Deltassist.

The fundraising record was due in part to many new corporate sponsors this year. This year’s sponsors were: Century Group, Glenmore Custom Print and Packaging, GML Mechanical, Muscle Memory, Summit Labels, The Run Inn, Brooks Running, Newman’s Fine Foods, Double R Rentals, Dickie Ginger Beer and Coronation Recognition.

plans to continue hosting the annual event as the followership keeps growing. After the rainy run, participants were treated to bratwursts on the barbecue sponsored

by Newman’s Fine Foods as well as beer from Four

Winds Brewery.

“We see Winded as such a great opportunity to engage with our community while raising much needed funds for our friends at Deltassist,” said Adam Mills from Four Winds.

“We are extremely thankful to our community for supporting this event. What a way to get like-minded individuals together to raise money and awareness, while promoting a balanced relationship with beer.”

Too many great volunteers to honour just one

Deltassist Family and Community Services honoured a pair of volunteers at its annual general meeting last month.

The social services agency typically names its Volunteer of the Year at the AGM, but this year added a new category for Rising Star Volunteer of the Year.

Volunteer of the Year, an award given to a volunteer who has a long standing history of volunteerism with Deltassist, was presented to Robert Hebden for 2019.

For 10 years Hebden and his photography group have volunteered their time and resources to create free family photo packages for families that use the Christmas Toy Depot.

Every year, Hebden and his club set up a photo studio in the Deltassist conference area in order to create a professional photo package for each family.

al Christmas photo shoot, Hebden has assisted the 38th BP Guild move all the toys from the Deltassist office to the site of the Toy Depot for the past 10 years and has also helped deliver Christmas hampers with the North Delta Lions for the past eight years.

The Rising Star Volunteer of the Year was introduced to recognize a

volunteer that has started in the last couple years and has already become an invaluable member of the team.

The inaugural award was presented to Shirley Flett who began volunteering with Deltassist in October 2018 through the weekly Bread Gleaning Program. That was soon not enough volunteering

for Flett so she started with the Emergency Food Program as well.

Flett’s knack for organizing has also taken her to assisting counsellors in sorting donated infant clothing, diapers and food for their clients in need.

Flett is also a keen gardener and is an active volunteer in Deltassist’s community garden project.

Rotary partners with Delta to install BBQs Ladner service club adds three outdoor cooking grills and renovates gazebo at Memorial Park

The Rotary Club of Ladner and the City of Delta have collaborated once again at Memorial Park in Ladner.

After opening the Ladner Rotary Splash Park last year, the service club joined forces with the city to install three outdoor cooking grills and renovate the adjacent gazebo.

Delta Mayor George Harvie and Coun. Dylan Kruger, as well as MP Carla Qualtrough and MLA Ian Paton, joined Rotary Club of Ladner president Bridget Jacob and club members, including project leader Irene Forcier, and city staff last month to officially open the $8,000 joint project.

The city hosted the event that included hotdogs cooked on the new grills by three volunteers of the community police station in Ladner.

Harvie said when he started with the city two decades ago, Memorial Park was a rather feature-

less area. Now, he said, the park is so full of life, thanks in part to the Rotary Club of Ladner, as thousands of people use it, with the Ladner Rotary Splash Park, the Christmas tree lighting in December and now the new grills.

Jacob thanked Harvie, Delta council and senior staff for the opportunity to jointly fund the new facilities.

She said families in Delta have enjoyed the splash park over the past two summers and will have even more outdoor fun using the cooking and dining features.

The new facilities are next door to the Lois E. Jackson Kinsmen Centre for Children.

Trick-or-treating shouldn’t only be for the kids

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

With ghost-and-goblin day but a week down the road, I’d like to make a suggestion.

Halloween should be for everyone.

I see no reason at all why kids should have all the fun. Heck, if homeowners were willing to give me some kind of treat, I’d be more than happy to dress up as a Martian or a mummy and roam around the neighbourhood.

Adults: it’s high time we got in on the fun.

And I’m not even looking for candy. Grown-up trick-or-treaters should be given items they could actually use.

Think about it. Forget the candy apples and the Tootsie Rolls and the mini O’Henrys. I’d much prefer, oh, a roll of Scotch tape.

Or a coaster. Or a couple of triple A batteries. Or a tiny tube of toothpaste.

To make this work, of course, householders would have to do their wandering one at a time — you know, just so one person could do the doling out while the other was doing the collecting. No

problem there.

I can see it now.

When it’s my turn to man the fort, I will size up the folks who arrive at the door. OK, I will think: two kids and two adults. Easy peasy. Suckers for the little ones. Something else for Mom and Dad. “OK,” I will say. “What’s your pleasure? A pack of toothpicks? A deck of cards? A golf ball?”

“Oh,” the mother might say, “I see you have spools of thread there. May I have some black thread, please?

I’m really into sewing.”

“And I see you have chopsticks,” the father might add. “I’m really into sushi. May I?” “You got it!” I will say, extending my basket of goodies.

When it’s my turn to trick or treat, I will scout out Post-it Notes. And travel-sized bottles of shampoo. And candles and coin rollers. Forget the Swedish berries. What I really need are tea lights.

The husband, well, he’ll be hoping for golf tees.

And ballpoint pens. And push pins for his bulletin board.

At the end of the day, after the Jack-o-lantern’s gone dark and the final few fairies have knocked on the door, we will do what we did when we were kids. We will spread the bounty all over the floor and sort and count and group our treats.

What can I say? It’s not that I’m desperate for batteries or tape. I simply want in on the fun.

Tsawwassenites once again being asked to fill Stockings for Kids

The launch of the 23rd annual Stockings for Kids program is just around the corner.

Sponsored by the merchants of the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall, Century Group and the Tsawwassen community, the holiday program makes an appeal to individuals and groups to sponsor a stocking, fill it with appropriate new gifts and return it to the mall for distribution by Deltassist Family and Community Services.

There are over 200 stockings available for “adoption” this year.

Stockings can be picked up during Adopt a Stocking Day on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. inside the mall near Centre Stage Accessories.

Participants will be asked to choose an age and gender they would like to fill a stocking for and then return the filled stocking to The Smoke & Pop Shop by Monday, Dec. 2.

Those wishing to participate, but unable to attend Adopt a Stocking Day, are invited to call the mall promotions office (after Nov. 9) at 604-943-1735 to make alternate pick up arrangements.

government was not likely the first choice for most people.

Isaiah’s message of 2,700 years ago still speaks reminding us that ultimately we put our trust in God. Think also of Paul’s words to the Philippians: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

(4:6-7) The request we need to bring has already been written: “God keep our land, glorious and free.”

No need to worry! In an ancient time of political turbulence a prophet, Isaiah, called his people to put their trust in God. They saw a powerful army heading their way and understandably they were anxious. The political leadership felt the best solution was through forging strategic alliances.

The prophet reminded the people that while others may trust in the number of people they can rally to their side, their nation was built by God and sustained by God. Their task was to continue honouring him with their lives and trusting him to bring the prosperity.

It’s going to get spooky Family Fright Fest headlines whole lot of Halloween fun in South Delta 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

Haunted houses, trick or treating, scary and spooky costumes, and lots and lots of pumpkins will all be part of the fun at several Halloween-themed events here in South Delta.

Highlighting it all will be the annual South Delta Family Fright Fest, presented by the City of Delta, on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Ladner Community Centre, McKee Seniors Recreation Centre and surrounding area.

There will be a haunted house, trick or treating, face painting, crafts, games and more. Wear your costume and visit the special trick-or-treat doors for surprises.

The event is free and open to the whole family.

The haunted house will be open from Monday, Oct. 28 through Wednesday, Oct. 30 for additional Halloween fun.

Here are some other Halloween happenings in South Delta: • Halloween Horror Delta has been scaring South Delta residents for the past 16 years.

The large-scale Halloween display run by local “Mistress of Darkness” Robyn Hasbach

will be open to visitors on Halloween night from 6 to 9 p.m.

Hasbach is once again partnering with the Delta Fire Fighters Charitable Society to collect donations, which she has done for the past seven years.

This year’s display features animated grave stone projection, a dungeon, two graveyards containing various custom-made gravestones, various static and animated creatures/ bodies, including new rotting corpses, two mausoleums and many more surprises.

“It’s the kids’ faces and the fun and joy that they share on the experience.

There is always awe in people’s faces when they come and see the yard,” Hasbach told the Optimist.

She said it takes three weeks to get the display set up.

For the first time this year, there will be a live webcast on YouTube that will be available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Hasbach welcomes volunteers for set-up and to participate as actors on Halloween night. See all the details on what is involved on her website at: www.horrordelta.com.

Halloween Horror Delta is located at 5674 Grove Ave. in Ladner.

A disabled filmmaker and activist has recently completed a documentary thanks to a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts.

Olivia Dreisinger was born and raised in Ladner and now splits her time between Victoria and Tsawwassen.

With an MA in English literature from McGill University and a BA in honours English literature and visual arts from UBC, Dreisinger specializes in disability studies. She hopes to pursue a PhD in the coming years, health permitting.

“I have multiple chronic illnesses so I have to be selective in what projects I do,” she said. “Most of my stuff is in critical disability studies and disability justice, which ties into this documentary. One of my first movies was a 3D animated audio-visual essay about disability representation and that helped me move into more mainstream documentaries.”

Her latest project, Handler is crazy, is a short documentary following

Her love of community and its wonderful natural setting is the inspiration for a new calendar and fundraising project for photographer Nicola McGuire.

McGuire has recently released her Heron’s Landing (Home to Ladner Village) 2019/2020 calendar, which is filled with her photos paying homage to the area’s natural beauty.

Recently re-located back to South Delta, McGuire started sharing her photos in the Ladner’s Landing Facebook group.

She said residents were so impressed with her work she was encouraged

to put them together in a complete form.

“At first the thought of posting a photo on Ladner’s Landing – I had a thought of fear around that, so I decided to face the fear and do it anyway,” she said. “From there I had a big response and it was suggested to create a calendar.”

From the calendar came an idea to build a fundraising initiative.

“So now I’m selling calendars at multiple stores and businesses throughout Ladner and proceeds are going to support the Delta (Community) Animal Shelter and I’m also raising funds for the Ladner Business Association’s Light up the Landing proj-

ect, as well, I’m working on collecting money, food and gift cards for a huge Christmas basket for the food bank.”

Calendars will be for sale at Superior Fish, Country Lane Gallery, Evolutions Hair Salon and Jarry’s Market.

She has been invited to sell her calendars this weekend at Vandula Farms’ Pumpkin Patch Festival and will also be at Port Guichon Elementary’s Winter Market on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Anyone who would like to purchase a calendar or make a donation to the project can contact McGuire at 604-308-0211 or email: nicolaofheronslanding@gmail.com.

Reach Child and Youth Development Society recently received a $20,000 grant from the First West Foundation Envision Financial Community Endowment to support its counselling program. Pictured from left are: Ken D’Sena, Sue-Lynda Bate, Renie D’Aquila, Riyaz Devji, Kristin Bibbs, Lisa Margetson and Yvonne McKenna.

Nobody won the $55,000 Mercedes provided by presenting sponsor Dilawri Group at the second annual Hampton Cove Community Open, but it was still a great day for players, volunteers and supporters.

The August golf tournament raised well over $7,000 for Reach Child and Youth Development Society, which supports local children with special needs.

“The event is all about community participation while raising extra awareness and support for our designated beneficiary Reach,” said Michael Lepore, one of three organizing sponsors.

“The team at Reach have been wonderful to work with, supporting

the event with over 20 volunteers,” added Glenn Issler, also an organizing sponsor along with host to the event, The Links at Hampton Cove.

Volunteers manned a Kidzone that featured a bouncy castle and inflatable golf course. They also registered players and ran competitions on the course.

In addition to the three nine-hole shotgun starts, the day featured raffles and prizes, live music and craft breweries Four Winds and Steamworks on site.

“The organizing sponsors have such big hearts and incredible community spirit, taking the time to develop this super engaging event,” said Reach development manager Kristin Bibbs.

Zacharuk ties school record Delta winger scores 23rd goal of her university career in final home game

had coached me a couple of times, and he gave me that hug, it kind of hit me and I was teary eyed,” she recalled. “Then Rob comes over and I realized that this was it. I told myself you can’t cry. This is good, we’ve won, we’re going to the playoffs, but it was bittersweet, especially since it was my last home game.”

Earlier this season, she broke the Cascades’ alltime assists record and

with her four points on Friday set a new all-time points record. Her final career tally is 23 goals, 19 assists and 42 points. For the season she finished with seven goals and six assists, tied for fourth in Canada West in assists and points and tied for sixth in goals.

Zacharuk attended Holy Cross Secondary and played her club soccer at TSS Academy.

She was a relatively late signing as part of the Cascades’ 2015 recruiting class.

“It’s been everything that I could have hoped for and more,” Zacharuk said.

“I found a home here. I fit right in and I don’t regret anything. The years have molded me into the player and person that I am. The culture of the team and the girls and the athletic department and the atmo-

sphere is tremendous. It’s a family. Everyone supports each other. I found people that I could lean on and support my growth.”

Giesbrecht called Brittany a special player.

“It’s been a journey.

She’s been a consistent contributor and probably exceeded expectations coming in and in her fourth and fifth years put up huge numbers and really spearheaded our attack,” said Giesbrecht.

“She has progressed as a leader as well and leading by example. She has a great influence on games.

Her development as a person, as leader and as an athlete has been fun to watch over these five years.”

The Cascades finished fifth in the Pacific Division, and will be playing in a playoff quadrant at Trinity Western. The Cascades face the Alberta Pandas in the first round Friday with the winner facing the host Spartans on Sunday in the quarter-finals.

This is the third straight year the Cascades have been in a playoff quadrant at Trinity Western. In 2017 and 2018, they won their first-round matches before losing to the Spartans in the quarter-finals by matching 1-0 scores.

had a pair of two-point conversions.

“We were starting to click on all cylinders and even with missing a few kids we came up with a good performance,” said head coach Ray Moon.

“Ben is a great player, great family here. He is able to find the open man, read the defences and at times under pressure, make something out of nothing, so he’s a great player and a great individual.”

Hunter Norman replaced McDonald midway through the fourth quarter and hit Porteous

for an 87-yard TD strike and then hit Evan Davies for the two-point conversion to wrap up the scoring.

On Saturday, Vancouver College shutout New Westminster 27-0 to put both teams at 4-1 in conference play, one game behind the 5-0 Sun Devils.

South Delta hosts 3-2 Mt. Doug on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at Dennison Park in Tsawwassen, while Vancouver College plays Handsworth and New West entertains Belmont.

“Mt. Doug will be a

test. They have a big line, so we’re going to have to try to limit their line play, which on the offensive side is making quick hitters so their line can’t tee off on us and defensively, they swarm to the ball, so we have to gang tackle,” said Moon.

Following the Mt. Doug game, South Delta hits the road for its final conference game of the season on Friday, Nov. 1 under the lights at Mercer Stadium against New West.

“It’s going to be a battle down the stretch,” said

Moon. “We have to take care of Mt. Doug first. We do have some concerns.

They are a chippy team and they go after you. We can’t get caught up in penalties. It’s a very important game for us.”

• The JV Sun Devils also remain undefeated following a 28-14 win over Belmont last Thursday.

They are 7-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

South Delta hosts Mt. Doug today at 3:30 p.m. before wrapping its schedule on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at Lord Tweedsmuir in Surrey.

Brittney Zacharuk celebrated her final home game and storied career at the University of the Fraser Valley in a big way last weekend.

On Saturday night, the fifth-year winger and women’s soccer team captain from Delta scored her seventh goal of the season and 23rd of her career to give her a share of the Cascades’ all-time goalscoring record in a 4-2 win over the UBC Okanagan Heat.

The night before, Zacharuk scored twice and set up two more in a 4-2 come-from-behind win over Thompson Rivers, which clinched a playoff berth for the Cascades for the fifth straight season.

She was honoured in a pre-game Senior Night ceremony Friday and exited the game in the 30th minute where she was greeted on the sidelines by warm embraces from Cascades head coach Rob Giesbrecht and, in a classy gesture, UBCO bench boss Craig Smith.

“I think as I started jogging off I wasn’t realizing what was happening and as soon as I walked off and saw Craig, and he

New goalie backstops Ice Hawks to win Jordan Dobres allows just one goal in first game with Pacific Junior Hockey League team 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 Dobres stopped 14 of 15 shots to lead the Delta Ice Hawks to a 4-1 win over the Surrey Knights in Pacific Junior Hockey League action at the Ladner Leisure Centre Tuesday night.

Dobres picked up the win in his first game with Delta after taking over from starting goalie Hunter Tarves after the first period.

“He’s a quick kid… he’s got good reactions,” said head coach Steve Robinson on Dobres’ first action between the pipes for Delta. “I think for a lot of guys in his situation, or any other AP player, sometimes it helps to get some action and realize that it’s just hockey and settle in.”

Captain Mark Epshtein, Ryan Xu, Truman Chiu and Bradley Fortin scored for the Ice Hawks.

It was Delta’s second win in three games and fifth point out of six fol-

Solid defence and a 29-save performance from Tarves propelled Delta

winner early in the third period.

In the home tie with Richmond, Delta got goals from Xu, Lavoie, Fortin and Bradley Araki-Young.

Tuesday’s win helps the Ice Hawks keep pace with the Sockeyes and the Grandview Steelers who after Tuesday night’s action are both just two points up on Delta in the standings.

Delta heads to Richmond tonight for round two of the Tunnel Series Cup. “[Richmond will] be focused and ready,” said Robinson. “They haven’t played since last Thursday when they lost, so they’ll be hungry for sure. I have a couple tough decisions to make regarding who’s in and who’s out, but at the end of the day, I know the guys get up for those games, so I expect a much more spirited effort.”

Puck drop is 7 p.m. at Minoru Arena.

In the biggest start of his career, the Big Maple came up big time.

Ladner’s James Paxton pitched six solid innings leading the New York Yankees to a 4-1 win in game five of the American League Championship Series last Friday night at Yankee Stadium.

The Vancouver Warriors recently announced the re-signing of forward Logan Schuss, pending National Lacrosse League (NLL) approval.

Schuss, 28, from Ladner, has played seven seasons in the NLL, including the past five in Vancouver. In 98 career games, Schuss has scored 172 goals and 263 assists for 435 points.

LEWIS (NEE Charlesworth), Margaret Anne October 16, 2019 From Margaret: I was raised in Kerrisdale where I met the boy next door at age 4. George was the love of my life − we married in 1958 and spent 55 wonderful years together. Our family shared many fun times, including trips by sea, land, and air but we were just as happy at home in Tsawwassen, having a BBQ, or playing board games.

I enjoyed working for the Delta School Board for 25 years and met so many kind people both there and in the community and with Girl Guides, Save Delta Hospital, Lawn Bowling, Elder College, and the Delta Hospital Auxiliary.

I feel such gratitude for all the kindnesses that I have received over the years from friends and family and feel very lucky to have been so blessed.

Thank you to Dr. Krawchuk and her team, BC Cancer−Surrey Staff, and Delta Home Support for all their help and care.

Thank you especially to my dear children, Joanne Hall (Rick, Justin, Erik); Doug (Dee, Sydney, Allie); and David (Jeanette, Grayson, Carter, Bennett), who have all helped to make my final ’cruise’ a smooth journey.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Delta Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

Son to Mike and Linda; brother to Finn and Kaya.

Marley’s passion for religion and his voracious interest of religious studies led to many a deep conversations, (He read the Holy Bible several times from start to finish, as well as the Quran).

Marley’s incredible thirst for knowledge would start many a discussion... most often leading to engaging debates. Aside from religion, the subjects ranged widely from ancient and current warfare; all realms of past and present politics; the best recipe for barbecuing... to the dominance of The New England Patriots.

Marley loved the outdoors. He loved to go camping, hunting and fishing. To spend the better half of an afternoon, rowing a boat around a fishless lake, answering a constant stream of Marley’s questions, relating to any and every subject, would at times feel like an Olympic Event.

But mostly and undeniably, Marley’s greatest love and loyalties were for his family, and his friends.

O’TOOLE, James Patrick February 22, 1969 - October 6, 2019 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jim O’Toole. He passed peacefully on Sunday evening, October 6th, 2019 surrounded by family and very close friends.

James was born with Spina Bifida and had many hospital stays with numerous surgeries and later multiple infections culminating with four years of dialysis for kidney failure, and yet he survived to enjoy his 50th birthday party at the Rose & Crown in February!

He was the first disabled child to be accepted in the Delta school system at Port Guichon. He enjoyed several years with Boy Scouts and their related trips. During his teen years, he went on to win many gold and silver medals in wheelchair sports. In adulthood, Jim managed to enjoy several short term jobs but his favourite was a few consecutive years in the staff call centre at the PNE. He travelled often to Alberta, we went to Reno and Disneyland, once on his own to England, Ireland and California, and with us a few times to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

James was predeceased by his father Frank, his grandparents and uncles and aunts. He leaves behind his mom Helena, his sister Shirley (Shane) and brother Sean (Nicole) and nieces Samantha, Tessa, Olivia and nephew Reid, his uncle Peter and many Alberta cousins. Also, in the U.K., his uncle Larry (Pauline), favourite cousin Sue, and many other cousins and their families in the U.K and Ireland, as well as dear friends Candy, Matt, and Doug.

No more pain ~ rest easy James.

You will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered, for your amazing strength and perseverance.

ROSS, Rose 1925 - 2019 It is with great reflection and love, that we think upon the life of Rose Ross.

Rose left us peacefully on September 11, 2019 after 94 triumphant years!

Child of the 30’s, woman of the forties, and wife and mother of the 50’s, and onward.

She is pre-deceased by her husband Vern who passed in 2014. And is survived by her two sons, Douglas and Michael.

Rose worked for many years at Sears in Burnaby, before retiring with Vern to Tsawassen, and she was an avid bridge player and was a regular at Mckee House in Ladner and KinVillage. She spent her later years at ‘Waterford’ retirement, and could be seen ‘out and about’ in Tsawassen, up until her final 6 weeks.

Sadly, Mom was the last of her circle (with 1 exception) and also the last of all her siblings, and so represents a true end of an era.

“It’s time for you to fly” The family wish to thank Dr. Gemeinhardt and the staff at KinVillage for taking such good care of him the past four years. He could be a challenge, but he did enjoy knowing many of his nurses and several residents, especially his crib-buddy John. Thanks also to the Doctors and staff in the Dialysis Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Rick Hansen Foundation, or Kidney Foundation.

If you knew James or his family, he would want you to be at his Celebration of Life.

Please join us on Saturday, November 2nd from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, in the Pacific Ballroom at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn, 1665 56 St, Delta, BC.
