Delta council salaries jump to offset loss of tax-free status 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

Delta Mayor George Harvie has received a $35,000 bump in pay while each Delta councillor will get $12,000 more per year following a unanimous vote by civic politicians last Monday night.

The mayor’s salary will jump to $154,264 while the rate for councillors will be $62,788. The increases are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019.

Mayor and council have not received an increase to their remuneration

since January 2016 when the mayor’s salary was set at $118,874 and council members’ salaries were set at $50,470.

According to a Delta staff report, the significant jump in remuneration is primarily to help offset the loss of the tax-free portion of politicians’ salaries resulting from a change in federal income tax legislation.

“Prior to 2019, onethird of remuneration received by elected officials was received as a tax-free allowance for

income tax purposes,” said director of human resources Samantha Pillay.

“Beginning in 2019, the federal income tax legislation changed and the result was all remuneration received by elected officials is subject to personal income tax. The impact of this change was that mayor and council now receive less net pay than previously elected municipal officials.”

The increases also address the fact civic politicians haven’t received a raise in almost four years.

Delta council sets remuneration rates based on a comparison of four Metro Vancouver municipalities: Coquitlam, Richmond, Township of Langley and the District of North Vancouver. Pillay’s report notes all four of these comparable municipalities have approved adjustments in order to maintain net pay.

Ten other Metro Vancouver municipalities, as well as the Delta school board, have also approved a remuneration adjustment.

A South Delta manslaughter trial won’t resume until January 2020.

Franco Douglas Sarra, a graduate of South Delta Secondary now living in Burnaby, is facing a manslaughter charge in connection with the death of 53-year-old Russ Armfelt.

Armfelt was located unconscious early in the morning of Dec. 11, 2016 outside the Rose & Crown Pub in Tsawwassen.

Crown called nine civilian witnesses to the stand during a weekplus of testimony from Oct. 28 to Nov. 4 in New Westminster Supreme Court.

The witnesses provided testimony about the night in question and observations of the altercation outside the pub that led to Armfelt’s death.

The case was adjourned on Nov. 4 due to the unavailability of a key Crown witness, a forensic pathologist who was unable to testify as he is recovering from a recent surgical procedure.

Lawyers for the Crown and defence determined in a New Westminster courtroom last Thursday that the trial would continue from Jan. 14 to 16, 2020.

ONLINE www.delta-optimist.com

A nasty legal battle between the leadership of Delta’s Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) and its founder will resume early next year.

An appeal is scheduled to be heard Jan. 28 in the case of Bev Day and OWL, which lost its B.C. Supreme Court case against Day, the organization’s longtime executive director, who won her countersuit and was awarded $140,000.

In late 2014, OWL, which is now appealing, fired Day without notice and allegedly for cause.

The society commenced a lawsuit 2015, suing Day for breach of contract, claiming, among other things, she failed in her contractual duty to ensure OWL’s bookkeeper deducted her rent

from her paycheques and failed to reimburse OWL for those payments. The society characterized Day’s conduct as “misappropriation” but later dropped that statement.

However, it still advanced an alternative claim for “unjust enrichment.”

Denying the allegation, Day launched a counterclaim for wrongful dismissal.

After her counterclaim was filed, the society responded with additional grounds for termination, including Day paying herself unauthorized salary and vacation pay, as well as insubordination.

The case dragged on due to a number of delays, but in reasons for judgement last year, a B.C. Supreme Court judge noted the society’s own documents and the evidence of its former book-

keepers clearly demonstrate there was never any basis for claims that Day received unauthorized payments.

It was ruled that Day’s employment was wrongly terminated, without cause, because OWL’s board of directors “rushed to judgment and assumed the worst possible construction of alleged events involving Ms. Day, having carried out only a partial and scant investigation.

The reasons put forward by the board at the time of Ms. Day’s termination were factually inaccurate and did not justify her dismissal.”

The judge’s ruling, highly critical of OWL’s lawsuit, also ruled the society was obliged, as part of its employment contract with Day, to pay the cost of her on-site residence.

It was also determined there was no merit to

OWL’s claim “that Ms. Day was appropriately dismissed for neglecting her job duties for several years prior to her termination.”

In an interview last fall, Day admitted it’s been tough not being involved in the organization she not only loved, but one that was very much a part of her identity over several decades. Trying to maintain her infectious laugh, Day got tearful when talking about her split with the group she founded, saying it’s been physically and emotionally draining since her firing.

“Even after they fired me, I still ended up getting night calls because everybody knew us. The community was behind me and I had so many people tell me they’re glad we won the case but this has been so much stress. That was my life, everything, basically for 40 years.”

Delta Hospice to give AGM another try Non-profit society dealing with controversy in wake of dismissal of longtime executive director 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

The heated feud within the Delta Hospice Society is expected to come to a head later this month.

The society will hold another annual general meeting on Thursday, Nov. 28 at Ladner’s Genesis Theatre after last month’s AGM, described by some as a fiasco, had to be halted due to voting irregularities. That meeting at a packed Harris Barn ended up with more ballots cast for the non-profit organization’s board of directors than members who registered to vote.

A non-profit society’s AGM is typically a rather sedate affair but Delta Hospice has been embroiled in controversy since the termination in September of longtime executive director and society founder Nancy Macey.

As neither side divulged the reasons for her dismissal, it was believed it had to do with the fact Macey didn’t see eye to eye with the board over

the provision of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Macey has been a vocal opponent of providing the procedure at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner even though it was approved by the federal government a couple of years ago and is supported

by Fraser Health.

However, it’s since become clear the divide goes well beyond MAiD and focuses primarily on past management.

Acting executive director Sharon Farrish has written a scathing letter to society membership about the previous management, listing many problems and describing a negative work environment and low morale. Farrish wrote that past and present staff members have shared stories with her of a workplace that included bullying, discrimination and human rights violations.

She wrote that a number of staff members were on medical leave, many stress related.

“I believe the board of directors were being misinformed or uninformed

“Simply stated, there has been inadequate management of the organization.”

She also noted there’s an angst amongst staff and volunteers, many expressing uncertainty about the future of the organization.

not want their names published, contacted the Optimist reiterating the claims and expressing support for the board’s decision.

Macey, who following her dismissal said she’d seek legal advice, was asked to respond to the allegations in the letter but chose not to provide com-

ment.

Board president Jim Levin said he can’t directly comment on the performance of past management, however he told the Optimist he values the opinions of the front line staff.

“They are free to speak about their experiences.

I feel that their voices are

the ones we should listen to as they are the reason for Delta Hospice’s exceptional reputation,” he told the Optimist via email.

“The letter sent to DHS members, staff and volunteers by the acting executive director was based on what she had learned over the past months. From the conversations I have had, I believe there is a majority of staff who are both relieved and happy with the change in leadership.”

With a second AGM nearing, society membership has swelled as the fight to control the board has intensified.

“We have never in our history experienced such a significant surge in memberships,” said Levin, who added there were about 400 members eligible to vote at last month’s AGM, a figure that has since grown to approximately 620.

The cut-off for new members to be able to vote at the AGM was Oct. 30. The society had to find a new venue to accommodate the increase in membership.

Church has eyes on the future South Delta Baptist celebrating 60th anniversary with initiatives to benefit the community 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

Giving back to the community has been a cornerstone for the South Delta Baptist Church since its humble beginnings back in the fall of 1959.

Now celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Tsawwassen church has been blessed beyond measure, says Paul Park, who has been at South Delta Baptist for six years, the last two as lead pastor.

To honour its past, the church is investing in the future and marking its milestone anniversary by aiming to raise in excess of $60,000 to support three initiatives.

The church held a recent fundraising/anniversary celebration at Tsawwassen Springs where past and present members came together.

“The event was tremendous,” says Park. “We had close to 300 people as well as a number of local dignitaries to celebrate together. Our goal was to raise $60,000, but between all the pledges and funds raised we have exceeded that mark, so we are very pleased.”

In anticipation of the milestone anniversary, Park and the church board discussed ideas to mark the occasion.

“Last year we started talking and wondering should we mark the 60th anniversary or should we just let it pass. We decided that it was biblical to really look back and give thanks to God for what we have received. We have been so blessed and we decided to give back and help others in need.”

Park says the church reached out to the City of Delta, Delta police and

other community partners to brainstorm ideas and came up with three initiatives: the renovation of its youth and children’s facilities, partnering with the Delta School District on its Starfish Pack program, which brings meals to elementary schools, and partnering with the City of Delta on a tutoring program.

“Hundreds of children in B.C. go to school on Monday having had no food over the weekend.

Starfish Pack was created in response to this need,” says Park. “We have recently learned that our community needs a program like this in some of our schools. We have already started this Starfish Pack program at South Park Elementary with 10 families. We’re waiting on Cliff Drive, working with Hawthorne

in Ladner and waiting to hear from Beach Grove.

Parents, students and school staff are coming to us, so we are delighted to hear that there is a need that we can fill.”

Park says it costs $525 to sponsor a child for one year of the program, which will provide a backpack each Friday throughout the school year filled with two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and some healthy snacks.

“The more money we raise, the more children we’ll be able to help. We hope to bring this program to every school that needs a Starfish Pack,” he says.

The third project, a partnership with the City of Delta, provides free afterschool tutoring.

“Our tutoring program will include trained tutors in the Orton-Gillingham approach, which has

helped many children with dyslexia improve their literacy,” says Park. “This sort of tutoring is normally very expensive, so we’re excited to make this quality supplemental education accessible to children who experience learning challenges due to dyslexia and/or other learning disabilities.”

Park says the congregation was happy to see these initiatives come together.

“We’re thankful to live in this beautiful community of South Delta, and we count it a privilege that we have the opportunity to serve our community. It was nice to work together with the city, police, school district and come together to meet these needs.”

South Delta Baptist Church was originally planted from the seeds

of folks at Ladner Baptist Church.

After the George Massey Tunnel opened in the spring of 1959 to usher in unprecedented growth, Ladner Baptist tasked five families who lived in Tsawwassen to start a church in the burgeoning community.

“Those five families and 28 people gathered on Oct. 25, 1959 at a beach house at one of the members’ homes,” says Park of that first service.

They continued to meet regularly in people’s homes before renting space in a school in Boundary Bay. Within three years the congregation grew so much it needed a permanent building.

In 1962, South Delta Baptist built its first building on 11A Avenue, which is no longer there. A decade later it expanded that structure in order to house 400 people in the auditorium. All the while the congregation continued to grow and in 1988 its current home on the 56th Street entrance to Tsawwassen opened.

The auditorium of the large brick church comfortably holds 1,200 people for Sunday services, funerals, weddings, graduations, and community concerts and events.

“We are thankful to be this community hub,” says Park. “We never want to be just on our own. We want to be a part of community life, contribute in a positive way, listen well and also speak our voice into the community too. We are thankful for the opportunity. We are thankful for not just the facilities, but the history we are inheriting as the young people of this church. I think we have made mistakes just like any organization, but we have also learned lots, we’ve been blessed by people who have led by good example, set the tone well.”

The current congregation is made up of 600 to 700 people.

“We have served hundreds of people, youth programs have been a tremendous success over the years and continue to be strong,” says Park. “We have a community dinner that serves close to a hundred people every month, so we’re very thankful to be continuing the legacy that was started in 1959 as a small, humble gathering of just five families to now, hundreds of people gathering together and continuing this legacy now with our particular way and investing in this future generation.”

A familiar face is the new chair of the Delta board of education.

Trustees last week elected Val Windsor to be the new chair with Laura Dixon, who had been board chair since 2012, elected as vice-chair.

Windsor, a former Delta Teachers’ Association president who had been the board vice-chair, has been a Delta school trustee for the past eight years.

“I am looking forward to this opportunity to serve as board chairperson in a school district that provides such exciting learning opportunities for students, and to continue the work as a voice for education in Delta, and as an advocate for our schools.

I would like to thank my fellow board members for their hard work and commitment,” she said.

impacted by the provincial government’s review of the funding allocation formula. The board has been told the new formula will be in place in time for the next budget.

Delta wants to improve its rural roads to accommodate cyclists.

Civic politicians recently approved a staff recommendation to bring forward a Rural Road Improvement Program for consideration at the upcoming business plan workshop with the aim of upgrading a roadway every year.

A staff report notes Delta’s agricultural roads have deteriorated over time and it’s time to address the problem.

The types of vehicles using rural roads have changed over the years with an increase in heavy trucks servicing greenhouses, dairy operations and agricultural distribution centres.

“The condition of rural roads in Delta varies from site to site, but in general most rural roads will require extensive pavement removal, sub-grade re-construction and re-paving to address the

pavement condition,” the report explains.

Delta’s rural roads have become popular with cyclists, according to the report, which also notes that most are narrow and have ditches, making them difficult and costly to widen to provide dedicated cycling lanes.

The engineering department is instead proposing shared travel lanes so the amount of widening required is reduced.

Staff brought forward a list of rehabilitation projects over the next five years based on funding of $1 million annually for the program. The list was developed as a result of a pavement management study and resident requests.

Funding has already been approved for the first project to begin in 2020, rehabilitating 36th Avenue from 46A Street to Arthur Drive.

If approved, the program would see sections of 112th Street and 41B Street also upgraded in the following four years.

t will soon take a little more time to traverse Delta’s busiest farm road — and that’s not a bad thing.

Civic politicians did the expected late last month when they approved a staff recommendation to reduce the speed limit on Ladner Trunk Road, a move prompted by a spate of fatal collisions earlier this decade. The speed limit will drop to 70 km/h next year on the rural portion of Ladner Trunk in an effort to reduce the number and severity of crashes.

Part highway, part farm road, Ladner Trunk shouldn’t be an accident waiting to happen given it’s a straight, flat stretch of asphalt, but it’s been the site of too many tragedies recently. A Delta Police Department analysis in 2017 found that driver error was the leading cause of these collisions, so it stood to reason that modifying behaviour, and not the road itself, was the route that was going to be followed.

I opined in the past that something had to be done to address the carnage, so it was either a choice of reducing the speed limit or widening the road and installing a median down the middle. I don’t think the latter was ever seriously considered, primarily because of cost implications, but also due to the message it would send drivers.

When speaking on this issue a couple of years ago, then mayor Lois Jackson rightly suggested that Ladner Trunk is a farm road, and that if people were in a hurry to get somewhere, they would be better served using the nearby highways where the speed limit is higher.

Ladner Trunk is a convenient way to get to points east and turns into a highway once it reaches the Highway 91 interchange, but the narrow, two-lane farm road through the Delta’s agricultural community simply isn’t set up to handle the speed and volume of the traffic it carries today.

Slowing down traffic by 10 km/h isn’t going to prevent all crashes, although it should reduce the severity of those that do happen, but just as importantly the move will send a message to drivers by reinforcing the notion that Ladner Trunk is, and always has been, a farm road.

If you make the conscious decision not to use the highways, where the speed limit is far greater than the than 70 km/h along Trunk Road, then be prepared for your journey to take a little longer.

Snow geese offer inspiration to find resting place for dad

M

y father died in 2011 and ever since he’s been keeping me company in my office in a brown wooden box. I’ve been meaning to get him settled into his permanent place of rest for a while now, but I couldn’t decide where to put him.

My cousin in Dublin and I were chatting over Facetime when the topic of internment came up.

“My father-in-law’s ashes were in the funeral home for over three years before we picked them up,” Geraldine told me. “The home was next door to a cinema so we figured he’d watched a lot of good movies over the years.”

After we laughed she got serious, “Don’t leave it any longer, Ingrid, get him in the ground.”

This summer I thought about scattering his ashes in the waters around the 9 o’clock gun in Coal Harbour. He used to go there and smoke in peace when everyone around him refused to watch him puff on a cigar while in the final stages of COPD. I looked at boat rentals.

We’ll make it a party, I thought, with wine and cheese and yell “Slainte” as we watched his ashes slide into the slippery blue sea. I never reserved the boat.

The force of nature that is

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

the annual arrival of the snow geese has inspired me to finally complete my job of burying my father’s ashes. Watching the white birds fly over our fields and marshes is beautiful, but it’s also unsettling.

Swooping in giant white flocks, they are always on edge, nervous and flittering from one place to the next. The geese, like my father, must eventually rest. I needed a plan.

In South Delta, we have one official graveyard, the tranquil Boundary Bay Cemetery.

Boasting rolling lawns, tranquil landscapes and panoramic views, it includes ethnic and religious diversity and has a section for veterans. It sounds perfect, but it’s only available for a tiny sliver of our 45,000 residents.

For practical and financial reasons, most of us will chose cremation, and most families will scatter them in places that hold special meaning. Like me, some of you may be holding onto ashes because it’s a difficult and emotional job deciding where to lay our loved ones.

In B.C., scattering remains is guided by the don’t ask, don’t tell rule. The only guidelines are don’t distribute ashes in recreational or fresh water supply areas; if you want to spread them on private property, you need the landowner’s permission.

Talk to your family members about their last wishes for burial.

It’s not easy, but it’s imperative so those responsible don’t leave you in their office for eight years.

I’ve decided my father will be buried in a cemetery on the Sunshine Coast with a view of the ocean and his own pillow marker in West Coast light grey granite.

Dad won’t be alone, he’ll have the company of other family members.

Unlike the snow geese, he won’t be taking flight again, only in my dreams.

Ingrid Abbott is a freelance broadcaster and writer who plans to live into her late 90s and presumes dying will be different in 37 years, so why make plans.

One arm impacts the other for Fraser River crossings

Editor: Cutting through the miasma of political drivel, men of straw arguments and self-serving antitunnel tripe, one salient fact remains: there has been no capacity increase in crossing the North Arm of the Fraser River since 1975.

A 10-lane bridge or eight-lane tunnel will only cause massive gridlock on Highway 99 in Richmond.

TransLink is utterly useless in providing userfriendly transit and has just admitted that the pet Gordon Campbell/Liberal P-3 transit project was

under built. With stations with 40-metre platforms and the ability to operate only two-car trains, the Canada Line has roughly slightly more than half the capacity of the Expo and Millennium lines, where their station platforms are 80 metres or more.

Claims that the Canada Line (which most of its ridership comes from forced transfers from bus to train) is successful is like calling the Edsel successful.

Just to increase capacity to match the other two light-metro lines will cost about $1.5 billion in today’s money and this

will increase by two to three times the rate of inflation every year hence.

There will be no rapid transit crossing the South Arm of the Fraser River for another 35 years, at earliest.

Until there is a comprehensive transit plan that includes a new crossing of the North Arm of the Fraser to open in conjunction with a new bridge or tunnel, talk of a new crossing across the South Arm is nothing more than stuff and nonsense as Richmond will turn into a massive parking lot.

Ethnic mix most apparent at ceremony in Ladner to mark Remembrance Day

Editor: This past Remembrance Day the attendance at the Ladner Cenotaph was impressive.

We were there to honour the men and women that presently serve our country and those whom have given their lives in the past to protect Canada, its citizens and our way of life.

The ethnic and cultural mix of the attendees, most of whom proudly wore poppies, was most apparent.

Furthermore, many of the young cadets in the parade were from visible minorities. I assume that many of these young cadets are new Canadians or are members of families that have recently emi-

grated to Canada. They should be noted and commended.

It was nice to see members of our community regardless of our differences coming together to honour those who have in the past and will serve in the future.

Well done, South Delta.

Well done, Ladner.

Kindness arrives next day via Canada Post

Editor: Two weeks ago I was walking in Watershed Park. In my pocket was a cheque and Visa statements to take to the bank after my walk, but while on the walk they were sadly dropped on a trail.

After finishing my walk and realizing my loss, I

tried to retrace my steps but could not find what I had lost. I went to the bank to put a stop payment on the cheque and advise the bank of the loss of statements.

The next day an envelope arrived in the mail with the cheque and Visa statements inside but no

return address to thank the dear person who returned these. Many thanks to the very kind person who took the time to address, buy a stamp and mail my lost items.

You are very kind and your thoughtful gesture was outstanding.

Excavation concerns no reason to delay tunnel

Editor: Re: Tunnel excavation digs up questions, letter to the editor, Nov. 7 Some common sense perspective is needed here. We are talking about a one-time structure in one major city in one large country. This is not an

everyday event.

We do not need three years of environmental studies. By now we know what we are dealing with and how to deal with it.

The amount of “hydrocarbon” contaminants is insignificant compared to the idling of cars wait-

ing for another 10 years to traverse the river — or a million other continuing causes of global warming.

Let’s get on with this tunnel, or bridge, now.

Either that or stop allowing more people to live here.

NDP has no intention of building river crossing Editor: Re: Dim light at tunnel, Murphy’s Law, Nov. 7 I don’t think your suggestion about the NDP delaying the tunnel is a conspiracy theory at all.

Rather, it is becoming reality.

The NDP has no inten-

tion of building any crossing to Delta during its mandate. We are all being taken for a ride.

With a business case allegedly coming in the fall of 2020 and an environmental review taking up to three years, we are many years away from any hint

of construction.

A more likely scenario in my view is that the NDP will be defeated on or before the next provincial election in 2021. Then the Liberals will take over and build the promised 10-lane bridge.

For peat’s sake, do your part to protect local peatlands

Editor: FortisBC and the City of Vancouver are to be congratulated for taking action to remove methane gas from the Vancouver Landfill at Burns Bog. This landfill is a monument to outdated thinking about what to do with peatlands like Burns Bog. Peatlands are the most neglected, ignored natural resource in the world.

Canada has no national or provincial legislation to protect our disappearing peatlands.

Scientists across Europe and the UNEP recognize the need to stop destroying peatlands like Burns Bog if we are to meet our targets to reduce climate change.

Locally, the mayors of the Lower Mainland are only too happy to approve the destruction of our local peatlands. This was demonstrated dramatically last month when Metro Vancouver overwhelming approved the destruction of 63 hectares of unprotect Burns Bog for an industrial site.

By converting those 63

hectares of peatland to an industrial site, carbon is going to be released into the atmosphere and habitat for rare and endangered plants and animals will be lost.

If the mayors of the Lower Mainland are really serious about combating climate change, they would be offering incentives to the owners of that 63 hectares to keep that bogland/peatland working to store carbon and to keep it there.

Scotland supported the destruction of their peatlands in the 1950s when industrialization took over.

That has changed dramatically in the last few years.

The Scottish government is offering grants to landowners to block drainage ditches that the previous owners were encouraged to dig.

Once Scottish farmers block the ditches they find that bog plants return within two years. Within five to 15 years, the bogs/ peatlands are back to storing carbon and offering safe places for a wide range of wildlife like they

did before.

The findings of the Scottish government about the restoration of peatlands is similar to the findings of scientists at the University of Laval, Quebec. They have been working with the Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Society to restore cutover peatlands in Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba.

It is time that we started protecting our local peatlands.

What you can do: Congratulate FortisBC and the City of Vancouver for taking the steps to remove the methane from the landfill.

When you go to your local garden shop refuse to buy any product that has peat in it. Coir or coconut fibre and compost are great alternatives to peat.

In other words, “for peat’s sake, don’t use peat.”

Oh, and don’t forget to thank the garden shops that carry peat alternatives.

Winskill gang grateful voices heard and new bench installed at park

Editor: I just wanted to give a big shout out to City of Delta’s deputy director of parks and recreation Todd Stewardson.

I am very fortunate to have made friends with a group of lovely fellow Winskill neighbours over the years.

Many times we catch up with one another as I am heading to or from Winskill fitness classes.

One of the best parts of my day is when I see “the gang” — Dina, Walter, Ian or Diana — sitting on the bench or walking near the turf field. The bench is a perfect spot for gathering as it provides a rest spot for some of them as they

make their loop around the field. The location is key.

About a month ago “the gang” mentioned the condition of the slanted seating area had deteriorated and I viewed it as unsafe, so I contacted Delta to report it and was told the bench would be removed.

I inquired as to the status of the bench as there was a donation plaque on the bench stating Rotary had funded it and was told the maintenance of the benches are covered for 10 years as of installation date. Sadly it was long past that date.

I reported back to our gang and told them not to give up hope.

I called Delta again and expressed my concerns. I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call from Stewardson stating that wires got crossed and the bench would be replaced the following week.

Stewardson and I agreed the use of the bench was of great importance for our community and it provides them with a rest stop while completing their daily laps around the turf field.

Healthy and happy seniors now can enjoy the sun on their faces and a safe rest stop.

It makes my heart sing that our voice was heard and that our active seniors’ needs were met.

Little garbage but lots of something else on beaches

Editor: As a new dog owner who finds herself walking the lovely beaches surrounding Tsawwassen daily, I have taken to picking up trash I find along the shoreline as a small contribution toward reducing pollution of our oceans. There are others

I meet who do the same.

I am happy to report that most days the trash I pick up is very little.

It is disturbing the amount of dog waste left on the beach is not so positive. In addition to polluting our coastal waters, leaving dog waste on the beaches poses a health

risk to beach goers.

Picking up your animal waste is also part of being a responsible, respectful citizen of Delta, according to our municipal bylaws.

Thanks for keeping this in mind the next time you are out on our beautiful beaches with your pup.

CHIEF NEIL DUBORD

Delta is a safe community. One of the safest in our province. But we do have our share of violent crime that requires significant resources to bring incidents to a conclusion and hold offenders accountable.

The Delta Police Department has investigated nearly 30 homicides since 1990. The last one was in 2016, and that case is currently before the courts. And while thankfully extremely rare, homicides are the worst of the worst crimes, requiring the requisite resources to bring offenders to justice and give the family of

victims some sense of closure.

Homicides happen in a wide range of circumstances, from intimate partners to gang conflict; each homicide is unique and often complex. I recently wrote about the growing complexities of policing, which includes navigating the criminal justice system. Bringing a file to court involves countless hours of investigating and preparing evidence. Because the burden of proof required to convict a person of murder is that of one beyond a reasonable doubt, a significant level of resources goes into an investigation.

So how do we manage highly complex investigations that bring the demand of near perfection?

Delta police, like most other police agencies, adheres to a model for serious crime investigations called Major Case Management (MCM).

MCM was developed to create systems and best practices across major investigations, increasing

the likelihood for successful outcomes.

Within MCM is the “Command Triangle” which includes a team commander, a primary investigator and a file coordinator. The Command Triangle is designed to be the driving force that advances an investigation, reduces errors, encourages team work and, most importantly, creates continuity.

Homicide investigations are very different than what you might see on Netflix. While there might be a few recognizable techniques, like an undercover operation, the reality is typically more mundane. These investigations require countless hours of examining and organizing evidence, writing warrants, waiting for DNA results, managing witnesses and preparing submissions to Crown counsel.

Everything has to be done in a timely manner, but there are also times when an investigation can stall for weeks, months and even years. And sometimes months of work can

be thrown out because evidence takes the file in a totally different direction.

Solving a homicide is a career highlight for most investigators and here in Delta we have had incredible success. We don’t consider a case solved until a suspect is convicted in court — and over the last 30 years we’ve had a 75 per cent success rate.

As I mentioned earlier, every homicide is unique and complex, and gang murders often have a lower solve rate. This is not necessarily because we don’t know who did it.

Often we do, but there may be insufficient evidence to charge because those involved won’t speak with police or suspects disappear or meet another fate.

Delta may be a smaller community within Metro Vancouver, but our team of highly trained investigators has an enviable track record. Be assured, should they be needed they will turn over every stone, employ a vast range of techniques and work countless late nights to keep our community safe.

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing g 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.

South Delta restaurants taking part in fundraiser for pancreatic cancer

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and restaurants in Ladner and Tsawwassen are showing their support to help advance the latest in research and care.

Roberta Haydon knows all too well the devastating impact of pancreatic cancer. Having lost her husband, Thomas, to pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer last year, she has spearheaded some local fundraising to help change the outcome for others facing the disease.

“This fundraiser is important to me because it is a way to honour Thomas by raising funds and creating awareness for pancreatic cancer research and care,” says Haydon.

The following restaurants are taking part in the program: • Wednesday, Nov. 20: Il Posto will donate $1 of every appetizer, salad and dessert sold.

• Thursday, Nov. 21: Ladner and Tsawwassen McDonald’s restaurants will donate $1 of every

breakfast sandwich, large regular menu sandwich, Extra Value Meal and Happy Meal sold.

• Friday, Nov. 22: Ladner Dairy Queen will donate $1 of every Blizzard sold and $5 for every DQ frozen cake sold.

• Saturday, Nov. 23: Tsawwassen White Spot will donate $2 for every burger platter sold dine in (excluding Pirate Paks) and $1 for every dessert sold.

• Sunday, Nov. 24: Boca Grande Donut Shop will

donate $1 for every Boca Poco (mini donuts) and burrito sold.

Funds raised will support pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer research taking place at BC Cancer, helping to provide new hope to British Columbians who will be diagnosed with the disease.

The 10th most common cancer in Canada, pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death and is difficult to detect early.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Realtors’ blanket drive to help those in need this winter

The 25th annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive launches on Nov. 18 at four real estate offices in South Delta.

Between Nov. 18 and 25, realtors from throughout Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley will collect donations of gently used or new clothing and blankets to help those in need during our cold, wet winter months.

The donations are dis-

tributed to partner charities from the same communities where the items were received.

The program is the largest and longest running blanket drive in the Lower Mainland. Realtors are asking the public to help make this year’s anniversary drive extra meaningful.

“For 25 years, donations to the Realtors Care Blanket Drive have helped

provide warmth to Lower Mainland residents most in need,” said Ashley Smith, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver president. “The cold weather season is early this year, so every donation matters.”

The campaign collects a large amount of warm winter items on behalf of dozens of Lower Mainland charities to help about 35,000 people each year.

Needed items include:

Book Sale Takes Place

• Blankets or sleeping bags, gently used or new • Warm clothing, coats • Hats, gloves, scarves • New socks and underwear Participating South Delta real estate offices are: Sutton Group-Seafair Realty in Ladner and RE/ MAX Progroup Realty, Royal LePage Regency Realty and Sutton Group-Seafair Realty in Tsawwassen.

important and we must never forget. But not just to avoid the fear and turmoil that the repetition of a problematic past may cause.

The discipline of remembering and passing the story of life, from gen-

eration to generation, has been the standard practice of the communities of faith for centuries. Telling the story of God’s grace, mercy and love, in spite of the human tendency to reject, deny and ignore it, has not diminished its truth or power to sustain and transform people’s lives.

Whether we fail to learn because of our own hubris, or cannot remember due to never being told, may be a good place to begin as we consider how we hear the Biblical Revelation (God’s Story).

The stationary treadmill of human failing doesn’t seem nearly as inviting a story as eternal life in the Kingdom of God’s presence. Remember. It’s life giving.

Having just observed the Day of Remembrance to honour the fallen and give thanks for the relative peace that we are privileged to experience in our part of the world, we do so by telling and listening again to the stories. This is a very important observance, as the statement goes, “Lest we forget.”

We’ve heard of the warning issued in a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, when Winston Churchill paraphrased a quote, saying, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it,” that George Santayana had said in 1905, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Drumming up more interest

Organizer says buzz is growing around third annual South Delta Drum Festival IAN JACQUES

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

It’s all about showcasing fantastic local drumming talent while enhancing music education in South Delta.

The third annual South Delta Drum Festival this Sunday will feature some of the industry’s best at Genesis Theatre in Ladner.

Doors open at noon with the festival starting at 12:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, available online or at the door.

Featured performers/ instructors include: Craig Scott (big band and jazz drumming), Julia Geaman (metal drumming) and Mike Michalkow (drum set artistry).

Festival organizer Rick Klemm said the buzz around the festival continues to grow.

“We have more sponsors this year, the Ladner Rotary Club donated funds, which is very kind of them, so it’s going really well,” Klemm said. “We’ve sold more tickets so far in advance than we did last year, so we’re really looking forward to a great day.”

Klemm said the quality of instruction will be amazing.

“Each one will do an hour presentation on their specific genre, talk about their experiences,” he said.

“It’s also a chance for local drummers to get together

It’s also promoting music education in the community.”

Delta Secondary music teacher Catherine Campbell said students will be working the festival as well as attending to learn more about drums.

“Lots of students will just be buying tickets and looking to help and sup-

port the event,” she said.

“Rick comes with the gear and we are there with the space and linking the students with the community.

“This year, now that it is in its third year, the interest is very high. I had a flute player — an international student — come up to me recently asking about the festival because they wanted to attend and

learn more, so it’s starting to get around to other kids who want to come together as a community and experience other musical disciplines.

“In our program, we specialize in mostly the classics, so to get them exposed to other musical areas is really cool.”

Thanks to numerous sponsors, includ-

ing Yamaha, Paiste, Rufus Drum Shop, Long & McQuade, Tapestry Music, Promark, Evans Drumheads, Profile, Klemm Drums and Dunnett Classic Drums, there will be many door prizes plus a raffle for three snare drums and other gear donated by Yamaha, Dunnett and Klemm.

Chamber music series returning to Tsawwassen The Vancouver Chamber Music Society returns to the South Delta Baptist Church next week for the second performance in its new Delta Series.

On Friday, Nov. 22, the society introduces four acclaimed soloists and chamber artists for the romantic masterpieces written by Dvorak and Brahms as well as a trio written by the Canadian composer Kelly-Marie Murphy.

Pianist Sergei Saratovsky will join the VSO’s assistant principal cellist Zoltan Rozsnyai, associate principal violist Emilie Grimes and awardwinning Canadian violinist Byungchan Lee for the

7:30 p.m. concert.

Single tickets are on sale and subscriptions for all the remaining series concerts are available until

Nov. 22 from www.vancouverchambermusic.com or by calling 778-847-3890.

The series was launched back in September to

deliver quality chamber music performances to audiences in Delta.

“This is the first chamber music series that has

been presented on a regular basis in Tsawwassen,” artistic director Kevin Park told the Optimist in a previous interview. “We are trying to fulfill our mandate of sharing our music to a broader audience, so the way to do that is to create these types of music series.”

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

“When I first stepped into the church, I thought it was a little too big for chamber music, but then I started to clap and sing and the sound was great.

Then I started imagining all the people in the audience and how that will sound. It’s going to sound fantastic,” he said.

Multi-media artist Ilsoo Kyung hosts an exhibition at Ladner United Church.

Kyung hosting show and sale Ladner multi-media artist Ilsoo Kyung will be hosting an exhibition and sale of her work, including paintings, prints, photographs and artcards, this Saturday.

The show and sale will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Ladner United Church.

“I am drawn to nature and the beauty of Ladner landscapes deeply affect the content of my art,” says Kyung. “My work also confronts troubling realities of environmental pollu-

tion that pose a threat to nature. I also address the question of my cultural identity.”

Born in Korea, Kyung was separated from her family during the Korean War when she spent a year as a prisoner at the tender age of 12.

“One of my childhood memories of the war is my family fleeing from the battles with whatever belongings we could take in a cart that was pulled by my father.”

Turning around her childhood challenges, Kyung chose nursing as her profession in Korea and then Canada, specializing in the care of newborn babies.

After retiring from nursing, she began a second career as an artist. She has often used her artwork to raise charitable funds for North Korean orphans’ programs that provide essential nutrients to children to prevent malnutrition.

I haven’t a clue where the geese go at this time of year. To Mazatlan? To Costa Rica? To Universal Studios with a stop-off at Disneyland?

As I say, I haven’t a clue.

I know only that they’re heading south, smart snowbirds that they are.

And I know only that this year, they’re travelling by the ga-zillion.

For weeks now, I haven’t been able to take out the garbage without hearing them honking in flight.

Sure, this is an annual pilgrimage. But this year, for whatever reason, their numbers seem to have

ballooned.

“Do you want to stop at the dry cleaner before we hit up the grocery store?” the husband asked the other day. We were outside, making our way to the car to run errands.

“WHAT?” I hollered. “I can’t hear you over the geese!”

Even indoors, heck, I’ve found myself needing to turn up the volume on Beat Bobby Flay, so earsplitting is their chatter.

No idea what they’re talking about, but I imagine one of the birds is yelling that it’s his or her turn to be at the front of the V. Maybe one of them is suggesting — in the loudest language possible — that they should spend the night in Portland instead of Seattle, just for a change of scenery.

Perhaps they’re plotting what to do first when they make their destination.

What will it be? A swim in a pond at a golf course?

A bite at a favourite bird sanctuary?

Perhaps, just perhaps,

they’re taking off in greater numbers because they know something the rest of us don’t. Are we in for an especially brutal December? Perhaps a record snowfall?

Anyway, I get the cacophony. Heck, if I was part of an aerial road show taking off for sunnier climes for six months of the year, I’d be hooting and hollering too. I wouldn’t even care if I ended up nowhere near Disneyland. It would be all about the heat.

Maybe, then, that’s what the noise is all about: a celebration.

They’re not screaming at each other to stay in formation, but rather they’re yelling at those of us on the ground.

“Hey, you down there!” they’re collectively screaming. “Have fun with WINTER! We’re spending our winter in SUMMER! So long, suckers!”

OK, so maybe it’s rude, but I get it. If I could go down south right now, I’d be bragging about it too.

Don’t put your clubs away for the winter.

Join the Winter Trial Membership Program at Beach Grove Golf Club and play the BEST and driest winter golf course in the lower mainland.

Golf all winter and enjoy the benefits of a private club: 4 hour rounds, online tee booking, 5-star dining, full serv rvice v Pro Shop, club storage, locker rooms and more.

Women to help even more women

Annual holiday program needs help to fill over 1,000 gift bags 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

Lifting the spirits of women going through a difficult time over the Christmas holidays is the simple message behind the Women Helping Women campaign.

But there is nothing simple about the dedicated effort that countless volunteers and supporters bring to the month-long campaign that is now in its 10th year in South Delta.

“With the generosity of our community, we have grown from 52 gift bags in year one to over 1,000 last year,” said coordinator Pindi Mann.

“We anticipate we will be well over 1,000 this year as well. Each year the need increases and we get more requests from various programs, schools and

shelters.”

The effort has grown so much year-to-year that Mann has created a committee to help plan, collect, organize and pack the gift bags.

Collection will be ongoing until Dec. 2 and the bags will be put together Dec. 4 at the Ladner

Community Centre.

The campaign seeks donations of personal care items like hair products, combs and brushes, toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, razors and makeup as well as pyjamas, robes, slippers, blankets, socks, gloves and scarves.

Donations will be collected in Ladner at Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe, Muddy River Landing, Royal Canadian Legion, Grey Owl Boutique, Changes Hair Studio and Delta Village Chiropractic. In Tsawwassen, donations can be dropped off at Locks N Lashes and Deas Island Dance.

“The premise of this initiative resonates with many people — to give a gift of pampering or selfcare to a mom, woman, sister going through a difficult time over the holidays,” said Mann. “This could be a woman in our community, a woman receiving services from an outreach program or a woman finding herself in a shelter seeking safety.”

Deltassist appealing to public for donations to Christmas programs

Deltassist’s Christmas programs are gearing up and the local social services agency needs the public’s help once again.

Staff and volunteers are gratefully accepting donations of toys and food for the annual Toy Depot and Christmas food hampers.

Deltassist continues to rely on the overwhelming support of the community to meet the increasing need of low-income families, seniors and individuals in Delta.

This year’s Toy Depot will be held Dec. 10 to 12. Toys are needed for children from birth to 16 years of age. As always, the need is greatest for infants and teens.

Christmas food hampers are being delivered

by local service clubs on Saturday, Dec. 21. Items most needed include breakfast cereals, canned ham and chicken, canned hearty meals (stew), peanut butter, rice, pasta and sauce, hot chocolate and cookies.

New, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items can be dropped off at the Deltassist office in Ladner, 202–5000 Bridge St., weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. They can also be dropped off at Deltassist’s North Delta office, 9097 Scott Rd. For more information or for other ways to help, contact Colleen Danes, Deltassist’s community services coordinator, at 604-594-3455 or e-mail colleend@deltassist.com.

Calgary Flames general manager and one-time SDSS starting quarterback Brad Treliving visited Sun Devils alumni (left to right) Jacob Kirk, Charlie Moore and Grant McDonald at the Calgary Dinos practice last week at McMahon Stadium. Far right is Calgary head coach Wayne Harris. The Dinos have advanced to this weekend’s U Sports national semi-finals.

S p e c i a l t o t h e O p t i mi s t

South Delta Secondary has produced many outstanding football players for the University of Calgary Dinos, including current linebackers Charlie Moore, Jacob Kirk and Grant McDonald.

The trio of linebackers, however, are not the only SDSS alumni making their mark in the Calgary sporting community. Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving was the starting quarterback for the Sun Devils before leaving for Penticton to pursue a hockey career.

Kirk is amazed Treliving attended South Delta and played football.

“It goes to show how small the world is. It is so cool he played football there. The next time I am at the school I am going look for him in the team picture,” said Kirk.

A renowned sports school, SDSS also has as their alumni current National Hockey League players Brendan Gallagher and Brent Seabrook.

McDonald and Treliving have

one thing in common. Treliving was inducted in the South Delta Hall of Fame two weekends ago, joining McDonald – who was inducted as Youth Athlete of the Year in 2017.

Wednesday night was a mini South Delta reunion at McMahon Stadium as Treliving dropped by practice last week, ahead of Saturday’s 29-4 Hardy Cup win over the Saskatchewan Huskies.

“It was so cool meeting him and him taking time out to come by practice and speak to us,” McDonald said.

Treliving enjoyed coming to practice despite the frigid conditions. “It was great to drop by and wish the Dinos the best, meet the coaches, players and see a football practice,” he said.

Dino head coach Wayne Harris was appreciative of Treliving making the effort to come and meet the South Delta players.

“We are most appreciative of the support we get from the sporting community of Calgary and it was special that Brad took time from his schedule to talk to our group,” said the Dinos’ head

coach.

South Delta continues to be a pipeline for the Dinos and developing linebackers.

Last year they had three starting linebackers from the Sun Devils program McDonald, Moore, and Blake Gau who has since graduated and elected not to play his final year of his eligibility. Now it’s McDonald and Moore while Kirk is a promising redshirt freshman. A fourth South Delta player, receiver Jack McDonald, older brother of Grant, unfortunately had his final year cut short due to a knee injury in mid-September when the Dinos were at UBC. “Our head coach (Ray Moon) was a linebacker when he played and put in drills and schemes for us,” stated the 20-year-old McDonald, one of team’s leading tacklers who played three seasons for the Sun Devils, winning the British Columbia 3A title in 2017.

Kirk has become a solid special team player as a 19-year-old and benefits being around players like McDonald and Moore.

Having them as linebackers helps, they are always helping

me,” stated Kirk, who is in his second year in the Haskayne School of Business.

Moore and McDonald are familiar with one another having lived a short walk from each other in Tsawwassen. They played football together since they were eight years old every second year.

“We know each other’s tendencies and how each other thinks on the field,” stated the 21-year-old Moore, who is one year older than Grant.

Harris is appreciative of the talents of the South Delta linebacker trio.

“All three are integral parts of our program. They have a great work ethic and attitude the way they approach everything they do,” he stated.

End Zone…

Grant McDonald earned Can West Defensive Player of the Week honours for his 11 tackles and one sack performance against Saskatchewan. The Dinos will now play McMaster in the Mitchell Bowl national semi-final on Saturday.

A heck of a fall season in athletics continues for South Delta Secondary and this time on the volleyball court.

The Sun Devils junior girls team is champions of the inaugural South Fraser Championships — capping an impressive unbeaten run with a 3-1 victory over Pacific Academy last Thursday night at Southridge School in South Surrey.

South Delta entered the 16-team tournament as district champions after a hard-fought victory over Seaquam.

The two rivals would, ironically meet again in the semi-finals and this time the Sun Devils rolled to a straight set victory — setting the stage for the championship match against a talented

McDonald was named the tournament MVP while her twin sister Kate and teammate Taylor Katsube were all-star selections.

Okanagan teams took top honours at South Delta Minor Hockey Association’s 26th annual Tim Jardine Memorial Bantam Midget Showcase.

Thompson Blazers captured the Bantam Division with a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Thunderbirds, while the North Zone (Vernon/Salmon Arm/Sicamous) Kings trimmed the Trackers Hockey Club from Fort St. John 2-1 to capture the Midget Division title.

The 16-team tournament — eight in each division — concluded with the medal games on Monday at the Ladner Leisure Centre.

The host Bantam A1 Storm made a strong run before falling 4-2 to the Blazers in the semi-finals.

South Delta finished second in its pool group with a 2-1-0 record thanks to wins over West Kootenay (5-4) and Campbell River (3-2).

The Storm concluded preliminary play with 7-3 setback to North Zone Kings and would also fall to them in

the bronze medal game, 9-3.

On the Midget side, the Storm also earned second place in pool play with a 1-02 record — defeating Wenatchee 6-1 and battling Fernie

Academy and North Zone to 4-4 and 5-5 ties respectively. The locals fell out of title contention with a 4-1 defeat to the Ridge Meadows Rustlers.

Madison McCabe

After some success in local meets, Madison McCabe’s father thought she should try her luck on the province’s biggest stage. The suggestion proved to be a good one.

The nine-year-old Holly Elementary School student captured her division at the recent B.C. Athletics’ Cross-Country Championships, held at Beaver Lake in Victoria. She com-

pleted the 1.5 kilometre course in six minutes and nine seconds — winning by a comfortable 21 seconds. There was more than just a gold medal for her victory too.

To overcome her initial fear of competing, her father also promised Madison he would fulfill her lifelong dream of getting a dog if she reached the top of the podium.
