Fraser Health quick to respond

Delta Hospice Society’s reversal on MAiD prompts formal notice of concerns 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

Fraser Health is weighing in on the recent decision by the Delta Hospice Society’s new board of directors to not allow Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) at the 10-bed Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner.

The new board’s position is at odds with the health region’s policy.

A Fraser Health spokesperson told the Optimist that health region representatives met with leadership from the society last Thursday to discuss concerns.

“Fraser Health subsequently provided them with formal notice of the concerns,” the spokesperson stated.

The region said it fully supports a patient’s right to receive medical assistance in dying wherever they may be, including in a hospice setting.

“We understand this is a difficult and emotional issue for some people, but it is important to consider the patient in everything we do,” FHA stated.

There’s no word yet whether the health region

Delta Hospice Society members line up at last month’s annual general meeting at Genesis Theatre. Two days after the AGM the new board voted to repeal MAiD, which has put the society at odds with Fraser Health.

would pull the approximately $1.3 million in annual funding to the hospice society, which accounts for roughly half of the organization’s operating budget, if Delta Hospice doesn’t offer MAiD. Two days after a heated annual general meeting in late November that saw the election of five new society directors, the board reversed a vote

taken a week earlier by the previous board to allow MAiD. Four new directors joined existing board member Angelina Ireland, who is the new board president, in voting 5-3 to repeal the earlier decision.

New director Randy Scott and two existing board members voted to uphold the earlier decision.

In a letter to staff, volunteers and members,

Ireland stated the motion was based on two independent legal opinions that MAiD is not compatible with the purposes of Delta Hospice Society as stated in its constitution.

In July 2016, the federal government passed legislation permitting MAiD. Fraser Health approved its policy later that year that mandates the service be provided in all health region owned and oper-

ated, contracted and affiliated settings.

Alex Muir with the Vancouver chapter of Dying with Dignity Canada called the new board’s vote to repeal MAiD disappointing, adding his group believes Delta Hospice should be forced to abide

by Fraser Health policy that MAiD be provided in all non-faith-based facilities under its jurisdiction.

Opponents of MAiD point to a joint statement by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and Canadian Society of Palliative Care Physicians which notes it is not part of hospice palliative care and shouldn’t be considered an extension.

Hospice palliative care and MAiD substantially differ in multiple areas, including philosophy, intention and approach, they say.

“Hospice palliative care does not seek to hasten death or intentionally end life. In MAiD, however, the intention is to address suffering by ending life through the administration of a lethal dose of drugs at an eligible person’s request,” the statement reads.

Police campaign reaches out to victims of domestic violence IAN JACQUES

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

The Delta Police Department is launching a relationship violence campaign to encourage victims to report incidents of abuse.

The public will soon see posters in community centres around Delta as well as on the department’s social media channels promoting the campaign.

The initiative comes on the heels of another domestic incident in early November in which a Delta man is facing charg-

es of assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

According to DPD, a woman and her children had fled a residence prior to police arrival due to ongoing alleged violence and threats. When police arrived on scene a man was taken into custody, and police seized a weapon. The victim was advised of resources available within Delta, and a safety plan was put in place for her and her children.

While relationship violence, commonly known as domestic violence or intimate partner violence,

occurs all times of the year, Delta police says it sees an increase around the holidays.

“There are a number of reasons why women remain in abusive relationships,” said DPD victim service coordinator Kim Gramlich.

“We understand the reasons women stay, but we also want women to know they are not alone. There is a tremendous amount of help available. Whether you’re ready to leave, or not, please call us so we can help you navigate what comes next.”

Police have to wake up driver for breath test 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 driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and his vehicle towed.

• Dec. 1, 6:44 p.m., 100block Tsawwassen Ferry Causeway: Complainant reported that a vehicle ran a red light while speeding. Police were not able to attend immediately due to priority calls at the time, however queries of the licence plate showed the vehicle to be registered to a Vancouver business.

• Dec. 4, 11:11 p.m., 1200-block of 56th Street: Police were dispatched to

a reported disturbance at a business. Complainant advised that an intoxicated male was banging on the windows of the store and vehicles.

DPD recovers $140,000 worth of stolen property Two taken into custody after police execute a search warrant at home on Ladner’s 51st Street

Delta police have recovered approximately $140,000 worth of property, believed to be stolen, following the arrest of two suspects last week in Ladner.

Police executed a search warrant at a residence in the 4600-block of 51st Street with the assistance of the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team.

Two adults were taken into custody and later released on a promise to appear in court next February.

“Investigators have recovered a large number

Suspect sought after robbery in Ladner

Delta police are working with other law enforcement agencies as officers search for a suspect in connection to a robbery in Ladner last Saturday morning.

According to DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf, shortly before noon officers were called to a report of a robbery of a business in the Cris Leykauf 5400block of Ladner Trunk Road.

“A suspect presented a weapon to an employee of the business and demanded money,” Leykauf told the Optimist. “He received a small amount of cash and then fled the scene.

Fortunately the employee did not receive any physical injuries, and it appears there were no threats to the public as this incident unfolded.”

Leykauf said the integrated police dog unit attended the location, but was unable to locate a track. Police are working with Real Time Intelligence Centre-BC and other law enforcement agencies as the investigation proceeds.

Police are asking anyone who might have seen anything suspicious between 11:45 a.m. and noon last Saturday in or around the 5400-block of Ladner Trunk Road, and has not yet spoken with police, to come forward to do so.

Call 604-946-4411 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

of items that are believed to have been stolen,” said Insp. Guy Leeson, who is responsible for the department’s property crime unit.

“Police are in the pro-

cess of identifying property and have started returning it to owners. It’s definitely satisfying for our property crime unit officers, who did some great work on this investigation,” Leeson

added.

The suspected stolen property includes numerous tools and machinery.

Police said one of the items recovered from the property was recently

reported stolen from a farm in Ladner.

DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf said there were no risks to public safety during the arrest, and no one was injured.

She said the incident remains under investigation and the department anticipates forwarding a number of charges to Crown counsel for consideration.

You’ve driven by it, and perhaps wondered about its future, if you’ve taken 52nd Street from Ladner to the Tsawwassen First Nation malls.

Situated within Delta’s jurisdiction and surrounded by farmland, the historic Rawlins residence has been boarded up for a few years, slowly falling apart and possibly facing the wrecking ball unless someone steps up to save it.

Located in the Agricultural Land Reserve and owned by the provincial government, the home sits on a two-acre parcel at 2349-52nd St. It was part of the Roberts Bank back-up lands — thousands of acres expropriated by the provincial government in the 1960s for industrial development that never occurred — but wasn’t sold back to local farmers or given to the TFN in the treaty settlement.

PHOTO BY SANDOR GYARMATI

Owned by the provincial government, the Rawlins residence on 52nd Street has been boarded up for a few years.

Until about four years ago the property had been leased by Bernice Hoar, who moved there in 1978 and started a popular egg business.

Hoar, who was never able to get a longer term lease from the province, passed away in September 2015 at the age of 83.

Hoar received an award in the early 1980s for restoration of the house, which was built in 1915, but now sits empty and decay has

clearly begun.

Delta’s community planning department notes it hasn’t received any updates about the province’s intentions for the property.

In a statement, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development told the Optimist, “Ministry staff continue to monitor and secure the Rawlins’ residence due to its signifi-

cance as a heritage property. Staff are currently reviewing the property for a potential sale in the future.”

Delta Coun. Jeannie Kanakos, who chairs the city’s heritage advisory commission, said she will be bringing the property up for discussion at an upcoming commission meeting.

On Delta’s Municipal Heritage Register, the property was originally part of Thomas McNeely’s Imperial Farm. After McNeely’s death, sections were sold off at auction and Mark Rawlins purchased the property in 1903.

Rawlins lived in a threebedroom home on the property for a few years.

The First World War brought him prosperity due to wartime food production, allowing him to commission the grand new house in 1915.

Rawlins moved to Westham Island in 1926, at which time his son, Neil, took over the farm.

City looking to remove items from collection SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s a huge, time-consuming task.

City staff is working with the Delta Heritage Society to evaluate artifacts in the society’s collection prior to next spring’s opening of the Delta Cultural Centre.

In temporary storage, the collection is being pared down to eliminate items deemed not suitable or redundant.

An information memo to Delta council from parks, recreation and culture director Ken Kuntz explains that once an item is evaluated, a recommendation is made to a collection committee to either retain it or have it removed.

Items recommended for removal are offered to like-agencies through a listing on the BC Museum Association’s website. If no other agency is interested in the item, it’s then placed on BC Auction, a website available to all levels of government where the public can bid on assets.

Kuntz noted that since

Items like sewing machines in the Delta Heritage Society’s collection are being evaluated prior to next spring’s opening of the Delta Cultural Centre.

May, 436 artifacts in the collection have been evaluated and presented to the committee. Of these, 297 have been retained and 139 have been approved for removal.

The total number of items, so far, the committee has approved for removal since it formed two years ago is 242. It is now accelerating the evaluation process.

Kuntz noted the focus of the committee has been the evaluation of larger items such as tables and chairs as well as possible

redundancy of artifacts such as vacuums, sewing machines, plows and pianos.

Delta has also been working with the society and Kirkland House Foundation to identify locations for the public display of artifacts or items removed from the museum collection.

The city is turning the old courthouse in the civic precinct into a cultural centre to replace the Delta Museum that had been housed in a century-old building in Ladner Village.

erhaps if it’s studied some more they’ll finally get the result they’re after.

After civic politicians shot down a proposal for a 35-storey high-rise on Scott Road last week, it took almost no time — less than 48 hours if you’re counting — for city hall to announce the creation of a task force to review the North Delta Area Plan. The Mayor’s Housing Action Task Force is to examine the Scott Road corridor with an eye toward creating more affordable housing options.

There’s no doubt that housing affordability, particularly for young people, was a frequent refrain during a contentious two-day public hearing on the tower application, but Delta needs another housing review like it needs housing prices to skyrocket.

Shortly after taking office last fall, this council began work on a housing needs assessment, which is to lead into the creation of a broad-based Housing Action Plan. The city is also in the process of drafting a Townline Neighbourhood Plan for the northernmost reaches of Scott Road. This is all being done in the backdrop of an existing Official Community Plan and a more detailed North Delta Area Plan.

I’m all for Delta devising ways to accommodate the diverse housing needs of all its citizens, but to add yet another initiative is overkill. It also makes it appear that the mayor, who was one of two on council to vote in favour of the high-rise, is unwilling to accept its defeat.

Yes, North Delta needs greater housing diversity; so does Ladner and Tsawwassen for that matter. But isn’t that the goal of the housing effort the city embarked on last year? Not only is this new task force redundant, but it sure looks like it’s pandering to the mayor’s political base in North Delta, who lost this battle, but could end up winning the war if they’re able to revise the area plan to their liking.

That’s not to suggest revisions aren’t in order, but why is Scott Road so much more important that it needs to jump the queue ahead of all other areas of Delta? You could argue the housing affordability issue is more acute in South Delta where real estate prices are even higher.

The Housing Action Plan is a sound idea, and should hopefully lead to some much-needed changes, so let’s wait for it to deliver on its promise.

Giving at Christmas is getting more and more complicated

H

aving a social conscious at Christmas is overwhelming.

I have been asked to put money in a kettle, give a gift to a senior, a toy to a child, money for Christmas dinner, and give socks, mittens, coats and blankets to the homeless. I’ve been asked to donate a Christmas hamper, give toiletries for women, fill stockings and back packs for teens, give to the food bank, adopt a family and contribute to heartbreaking gofundme campaigns.

All of these causes are worthy of my attention and charities are smart to ask for help over the holidays when we are in the spirit of giving, but the need seems to have no end.

I’ve made my donations for the season but I’m left wishing I could donate more.

Whether your budget is big or small, it’s daunting deciding who to give to and how much to spend.

Donating is also emotional. I chose organizations that I was introduced to by friends or family, or that I have come in contact with though my work. Some are local, some are in the city, all are highly dependent on the generosity of others, especially at Christmas.

There’s a sea change hap-

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

pening around the holidays and it’s evident in the new social norms that surround giving at Christmas. The younger generation is forcing us to rethink how we spend. They don’t want more stuff, they want experiences, or environmentally responsible gifts that have meaning.

It’s not just the young. Last Christmas instead of giving presents, my 74-year-old sister-in-law donated a cow in our family’s name to a village in Rwanda.

The year before it was a goat to Ethiopia.

Secret Santas are changing. For a recent party my gift had to be something used, or something I’m not using anymore, it could not be new. My stepfather’s family’s secret Santa has changed this year. At the suggestion of his granddaughter, “All gifts must be

consumable, so that we don’t end up throwing more unwanted stuff into the landfill.”

It’s not just cash that charities need; they need volunteers.

Earlier this month, I joined 100 local women to sort and pack 1,000 gift bags for women living in shelters as well as recovery and transition houses. The idea is that women in need should be pampered and recognized at Christmas. Organized by Women Helping Women, the Ladner Community Centre was buzzing with energy as we worked together for a great cause.

Recently a young man in his 20s, around the same age as my son, was begging in front of Walmart at Tsawwassen Commons. He was sitting on a piece of cardboard with his dog curled up by his side.

The coin purse in my car was empty, and I had no cash in my wallet. I made eye contact and smiled, he nodded back. I let him know I saw him even though I couldn’t help. It was a moment that reminded me the best charity is to treat one another with respect and kindness.

It’s what the Christmas spirit is all about, and it’s free.

Here’s a perfect opportunity to keep the town core alive

Editor: Re: Delta deserves penalty for lack of new rentals, Dec. 5 I am once again reading about the shortage of rental units available in Delta. This is the third article I’ve read recently in the Optimist. I also read a huge article in the Globe and Mail about the shortage of rental units available in all big Canadian cities. According to both newspapers, there have been very little rental units built since the 1970s.

So here in Tsawwassen we have Century Group offering to build a rental building with various rent amounts available to help the most people. I understand it is part of the larger project proposed for the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall property.

I saw the plans for the

project and thought it was wonderful; tall buildings to make it easy for people to come downstairs and do their shopping right there.

It will also keep the town core alive and keep the shop owners in business.

With the big mall out on the TFN lands and all the condos and houses going in there, I am sure the little businesses in Tsawwassen are hurting.

My son and daughterin-law live at 70th Avenue and Granville Street. That area was dying. They tore down the old Safeway and put in a big, bright, new Safeway and several towers and next thing you know the businesses in that area are flourishing.

Up and down that street the area is alive with people walking to the stores.

We have the perfect opportunity here to keep

our town core alive. Let’s stop listening to negative people and get these buildings built. More seniors are looking to get out of their big houses and get into a condo. But there is hardly anything to buy here In Tsawwassen.

So renters and condo buyers and businesses will all benefit from this development. The plans for the development show a pedestrian- and bikefriendly environment because the majority of parking will be below, which is brilliant. More people will walk or bike or push their baby buggies if they feel safer.

We need taller buildings in the core, we need rentals and we need more people shopping in the core. We need these built ASAP. Ann Stirling

Proud subscriber has fond memories

Editor: Re: Give the Gift of Local News, Dec. 5 Thank you to Matt Blair for taking the time to write such a thoughtful piece.

I did just that and I am now a proud subscriber to the best dang newspaper on the planet, the Delta Optimist. Each and every Thursday, I am delighted to find it tucked neatly underneath my front door mat.

As I sit on BC Ferries on my way to pick up my precious four-year-old granddaughter for a visit, I am reminded of a Delta

Optimist carrier story featuring myself and my then 13-year-old son who had a rather large route in Marina Garden Estates.

He was not always able to fully commit to deliveries, but did the job always get done that day, regardless of hour? Absolutely.

After dropping the boys off at their early morning hockey practices, mom (me) would take care of his route.

I remember being startled by a woman early one morning asking with great hope as to whether I was the new Delta

Optimist delivery girl? In an exasperated tone, she carried on, “It’s so nice to receive my Delta Optimist first thing in the morning.

That young man, although friendly, has been delivering my paper late every single week and he leaves rollerblade tracks on my front lawn.”

To which I responded, “I’m sorry ma’am, I’m just covering for him, but I’ll be sure to pass on the sentiments. Have a lovely day.”

Thanks for the memories, Delta Optimist.

‘Parking bingo’ bylaw punishes employees

Editor: Re: Bylaw change aiming to prevent ‘parking bingo,’ Dec. 5 As if parking in Ladner Village isn’t challenging enough, our civic politicians, with full support of the Ladner Business Association, have decided to make it even more difficult with their “parking

bingo” bylaw.

How does Coun. Dylan Kruger think this will help to address the ongoing parking struggles? It certainly won’t help those of us working full-time in the village who already have to leave three times a day to move a vehicle.

We spend our money in Ladner and support local

businesses, so who are these parking spaces being vacated for?

Perhaps if politicians had to excuse themselves from a council meeting to move their vehicles they might consider an alternate solution. Guess that’s not an issue when you have designated parking.

Drivers not even stopping at red lights anymore

Editor: Why are drivers choosing to ignore red lights now?

Last week, at 12th Avenue and 53A Street in Tsawwassen, eastand westbound traffic is stopped at a red when a westbound driver in the curb lane carries right on through. Why? There

was no danger of a rearend collision if this driver had stopped. Distracted?

Conceited? Drugged?

Stupid? Selfish?

This week, 56th Street and 12th Avenue in Tsawwassen, stopped second in left-turn lane (facing north) when driver ahead makes a left turn onto 12th Avenue in spite

of heavy traffic and in spite of having stopped for the red. Why? Distracted?

Conceited? Drugged?

Stupid? Selfish? Or lack of enforcement?

Red light cameras would have caught these socalled drivers.

Both intersections have marked crosswalks.

#LovePeople is the catalyst for this year’s Christmas giving campaign at Pneuma Church.

For the fourth straight year, the church based out of Ladner’s Delta Manor Education Centre is hosting an event where participants can pick up a pair of specialty designed food and gift boxes and then gift them to someone they know.

“We had 150 in the first year, 300 the second 400 last year and this year we will have 500,” said lead pastor Andreas Basson.

“One box is for people who are in need financially, who need food for Christmas. The other box is for people who are not necessarily in financial need, but they just to need to know that someone cares about them, loves them and is looking out for them.”

The first gift box will contain a ham, potatoes, corn, pancake mix, chocolates, candy and other items.

The second gift box will contain a #LovePeople hoodie, Brie cheese, a water filtration system, chocolate, #LovePeople mugs and other specialty items.

“So it’s really a Christmas meal, Christmas breakfast and a desert for a family that can be put on the table for both Christmas Eve and Christmas morning,” he said.

All of the food and items in the two boxes, valued at around $125 per box, have been purchased by the church and will be packaged by members of the congregation.

They will be available for pick up on Sunday, Dec. 15 during the church’s free community Christmas production.

“Everyone who comes

to the production gets two boxes and the goal is they will go to deliver them to someone who is part of their lives and they will reach out to,” said Basson.

“Between the two shows we are looking at 600 people gathering so we believe we will be able to give out all the boxes, but if there are others leftover, they will be available and if there are others in the community who want boxes to give out, they can contact us.

“The whole idea is we want people to start caring about other people. There is greater joy in giving than there is in receiving, so we want people to be able to give to others.”

Basson said the church plans to continue the #LovePeople campaign throughout 2020.

Delta’s little white church closes its doors Emotional farewell for St. Stephen’s United after 128 years in East Delta Ian Jacques I ijacques@delta-optimist.com Photos I Jim Kinnear

The final service on Nov. 24 was followed by an invitation-only lunch reception at East Delta Hall where more than 90 people were on hand.

I

t’s been a place of worship, a place for celebration, a place to mourn and a place to gather as a community. After 128 years, however, St. Stephen’s United Church is no more.

The historic church on Ladner Trunk Road in East Delta officially closed its doors late last month. The final service on Nov. 24 was followed by an invitation-only lunch reception at nearby East Delta Hall where more than 90 people were on hand.

Lack of a full-time minister and a declining and aging congregation are just a few of the reasons why the board made the difficult decision earlier this year to shutter the church that has welcomed generations of families through its wooden doors.

Board chair Dewar Harper, vice chair Glenda Pentland and historian/church matriarch Marge Paton sat down with the Optimist just a few days prior to the final service to

reflect on what the church has meant to the community and provide some insight into the future of the building.

“This was certainly not an easy decision or one that we took lightly,” said Pentland, adding it was not the first time the congregation had discussed the matter over the years.

“One of the members remarked to me that it was almost a relief that this decision has finally been made. People have moved out of the community, lost touch with this community and the congregation.”

Harper said the situation at St. Stephen’s is one that is common in many communities.

“We have tried and tried, but kids today, there is too many things to do on a Sunday and church is not one of them,” Harper remarked. “One of the other factors is our minister. We had a fabulous minister in Sally McShane but she moved on because we were only able to offer her 12 hours a week. We went and advertised for a new minister, but got no response. I think that really signaled to us that a decision had to be made.”

The fabric and the glue that started it all and kept it all together these many years has now faded away, said Paton.

“There just isn’t that many people in East Ladner going to the church,” said Paton.

Harper said while the congregation will move on to other churches in other com-

munities, the church building itself is not going anywhere.

“There is interest to preserve it,” he said.

“When you sit back and you see the history and the good vibes, there is still life and purpose for the building.”

The final service was an emotional one for all involved.

“I have been baptized, confirmed and married in this church and my two boys have been baptized and confirmed in this church,” said Pentland.

“It hits you at the weirdest times. It just gets emotional, but we will figure it out. We as the board made a presentation to the congregation and the vote was in favour of supporting our decision to close the church.

“We picked Nov. 24 because the Sunday after that Advent starts, and we didn’t want to be in the middle of that or Christmas Eve being the last service.”

The decision to close the church was made on Sept. 24, just one day shy of the 128th anniversary of the opening of St. Stephen’s on Sept. 25, 1891.

Harper said in the last few months the congregation was fortunate that several retired ministers were on hand to help the process along.

December 12, 2019 The Delta Optimist A13

Historical timeline compiled by Glenda Pentland: 1893: The pulpit bible was donated by the John McKee family. It still sits on the pulpit and has only been rebound twice. The original pews are still in use today.

First Sunday school classes were held in a lean-to at the back of the building. There was a shed to tie horses up in.

1909: First permanent addition of four Sunday school rooms were added. A raised platform for the pulpit and choir loft was built. The wood furnace was put in the basement.

1925: St. Stephen’s Presbytery, Ladner Methodist and St. Andrew’s Presbytery joined to become the United Church of Canada.

1930: The church was often used by the school for performances. The Sunday school rooms were originally a stage with beautiful red velour curtains.

These were kept closed for church services. In those days the church was not locked and someone stole the curtains. Twenty wooden chairs were also stolen. The police discovered them in a second hand store. The guild agreed to buy them back for $20.

A collection of photos, artifacts and memories were on hand at the final service invitation-only lunch reception at East Delta Hall.

“For the last little while we have brought out the history of the church as we neared closer to the final day,” he said. “It has helped us understand and prepare us for this last day and celebration. It’s emotional. At one of the final Sunday services I was singing a hymn and I just couldn’t get the words out. It’s difficult, but at the same time it is reality and one must pull up their socks as they say and move on. I have been fortunate to have been a part of churches right across Canada and left behind some real valuable partnerships and then I landed here and it was very strong. I just loved it here.”

Before St. Stephen’s was built ministers of the Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches ministered to the needs of East Delta, travelling long distances by foot, horse and bicycle, exchanging pulpits to help each other out.

Prior to 1891, worship services were held in a building on the corner of 88th Street and Ladner Trunk Road.

That building was destroyed by fire and services were moved to the school. It was soon realized there was a need for a permanent church in East Delta.

So began the history of St. Stephen’s.

The church was built in 1891 on land donated by the McKee family who were pioneers in East Delta. The McKee, Kittson, Honeyman, Robertson, Smillie, Dennis and HuÐ families shared in giving their time and money to help get the church built.

The construction was supervised by JB Elliott and John Weaver. The lumber used was made from logs brought up from the shores of nearby Boundary Bay and a portable mill was used to cut the logs.

The church opened as St. Stephen’s Presbytery Church on Sept.

25, 1891 by Rev. Dunn for a cost of $900 and was debt free.

According to the Canadian Heritage Registry, St. Stephen’s United Church is valued as a good and early example of a simple, Gothic Revival vernacular church structure.

Modest in size and form, the church, with its basic rectangular plan and St. Stephen’s board chair Dewar front-gabled roof, Harper speaks at the lunch reception. is distinguished by Gothic pointed-arch windows. Notably, some of the windows retain their original etched glass panes, with a small, unetched quatrefoil pattern; this glass would not have been available locally and would have been an expensive imported feature.

Typical of Presbyterian churches, the decoration of St. Stephen’s was minimal and restrained. Well maintained and with

1961: New Communion table and chairs were added. New choir benches were made and donated by Herb Walker. The pulpit was moved to the east to accommodate the benches and it remains there to this day.

1973: Evelyn Beharrell, organist and choir leader, retired and Isla Lawrie replaced her.

1979: Celebrating Delta’s centennial, the church was declared a heritage site.

1982: Wheelchair ramp installed. First of many yard sales and auctions at East Delta Hall.

1983: New sign installed with the hope of attracting new people.

1986: Inside of sanctuary painted. Pulpit was stripped of many layers of paint and restored to its original cedar finish by Jim Carney.

Top; The original pulpit bible from 1893 and the original pews are some of the items that have been catalogued by the City of Delta.

Bottom; a beautiful cake was part of the end of service invitationalluncheon which marked the closure of the church on Nov. 24. few substantial changes other than a rear addition, the church remains in excellent, and mostly original, interior and exterior condition.

Pentland said the building now belongs to the United Church of Canada and will be managed by a regional council that represents the Lower Mainland.

“We were able to decide with what to do with the money left in the bank account and we will have say on what charities that money will be distributed to,” she said.

The church was given heritage status in 1989 through the City of Delta. In 2001, a heritage preservation award was presented and in 2005 the church was put into the national heritage registry.

In its final days, staff from the City of Delta archives were on hand to document some of the church’s significant artifacts, including the original pulpit bible from 1893, communion cups and trays, and the original pews.

Archival staff indicated a report would come to Delta council next year to decide how the artifacts would be preserved.

Over the years there have been thousands of Sunday services, weddings, funerals and special events. The church has been used in numerous movie productions and film crews have inquired about using it again.

“Years ago there was talk of maybe an art gallery or even a Minoru Chapel, but we don’t have the manpower to maintain it, handle bookings, etc.,” added Pentland. “This is going to be OK. There is not going to be a wrecking ball and condos going up.”

1991: 100th anniversary. A 4:1 scale of the church was built by Walter Staller, Peter Cordes, Elbert Malenstyn, Ian Paton and Dave Smith for a cost of $950, $50 more than the original church. It was entered in the Ladner May Days parade and women and kids dressed in period costumes and won first place.

1994: New roof, kitchen sink and cupboards installed.

2001: Regular trips to First United with donated fresh produce from the Gourley and Kelly farms.

The congregation has supported First United continuously since the 1960s with monthly donations of food and clothing and financially every Christmas. It has also supported Vancouver School of Technology and Deltassist with a financial donation every Christmas since the 1970s.

2001: Received heritage preservation award from the City of Delta.

2004: Isla Lawrie retired as organist and choir leader after 31 years.

2019: Sept. 24, one day shy of 128 years since the church opened, the congregation voted in favour of accepting the board’s very diÐcult recommendation to close the church as of Nov. 24.

It’s all about selection, savings and being part of the community.

That’s what new FreshCo store owner and operator Anthony Wong says about Ladner’s newest grocery store which was scheduled to open today at Trenant Park Square.

The discount grocery store replaces a Safeway that closed its doors this summer.

Earlier this year, Sobeys announced the locations of its first 10 FreshCo locations in B.C., including the conversion of the Ladner store.

“This is a great community, a growing community and I want to be a part of it,” said Wong.

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

eventually plans to convert 25 per cent of its 255 underperforming stores into FreshCo locations over the next four to five years.

The Ladner store was to officially open its doors at 7:30 a.m. today.

The grand opening festivities were to include a ribbon-cutting ceremony

with special guests, while the first 500 customers were to receive free Compliments butter and additional Cart Coin giveaways.

“We’re excited to introduce FreshCo to Western Canada. We know customers will be thrilled with our high-quality, fresh products at market-leading low

prices,” a company news release stated.

“FreshCo is committed to helping the community make every dollar count.

Ladner shoppers will no longer have to sacrifice great quality for fair pricing, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the FreshCo experience with them.”

Last week Four Winds opened an expanded tasting room at its Tilbury brewery, won nine awards in The Growler magazine’s B.C. Craft Beer Readers’ Choice Awards and launched a designated driving program it hopes will expand to other craft breweries around the Lower Mainland.

“We’re very happy with the tasting room,” said sales and marketing manager Adam Mills. “We have been planning it for a few years now, but we decided to put it on the backburner when we were working on the Southlands project and when that didn’t go our way, we said we need to focus on this space to make it more inviting, comfortable for our regulars and attract new clientele.”

Mills said 50 seats have been added, which dou-

bles capacity.

“It’s much more comfortable in there — a really good vibe,” he said. “We’re also adding a live music element and we had our first night last Thursday.

We will be promoting this through social media and we plan to do this every Thursday night at 5:30 p.m. during our Thirsty Thursday nights where all our beers are $4 a glass.”

Tasting room hours have also expanded with Four Winds now open every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“The music makes it more dynamic and helps to make this an even greater destination place,” said Mills. “We are really trying to promote our great food and dinner aspect. We know we are off the beaten path, so expanding our hours and space allows us to make this a dinner spot with our ever-changing menu from our talented kitchen staff.”

For The Growler magazine awards, Four Winds picked up first place for Best Farmhouse/Wild/

Brett Ale for Juxtapose, Best Wood-aged beer for Norwood and Best Sour Ale for Nectarous.

It received second place for Best Light/Amber Lager for Huft Gold and Best Belgian-style ale for Triplicity and third-place for Brewery of the Year, Best North Americanstyle ale for Velo, Best Low-Alcohol Beer for Sour Weisse and Best

Collaboration Beer for Ten. “It’s amazing.

Something you work really hard for, especially in our kind of business, is public perception and you want that perception to be quality, a sense of care and a high level of standards, so for people to vote for us and for us to win nine awards, we are very happy about that,” Mills said.

“It’s just great to know that the general public is behind us and behind what we do and sees us as among the best in the province.”

The designated driving program launched Dec. 6 with partners Deltassist Family and Community Services and MADD Metro Vancouver.

“We really want to promote a responsible drinking culture. We think we should shine a light on the designated driver, the unsung hero of these establishments,” added Mills. “We want to reward them for their service when they come in with a free taco or non-alcoholic beverage or you can forgo those rewards and we will donate $5 to MADD in your name. It’s one-time per visit, but you do that as many times as you want.”

Mills said through #DDchallenge Four Winds wants to broaden the program in 2020.

New charter service out of Boundary Bay A new air carrier is now offering charter services out of Boundary Bay Airport.

Air West Charters Inc. operates a six-passenger turbo-prop King Air 90 aircraft, which offers a new affordability price point for private travel from Greater Vancouver.

With a range of approximately 1,100 kilometres, Air West Charters can fly direct from Boundary Bay to over 80 airports throughout B.C. and Alberta, with U.S. destinations to be offered in early 2020.

“The ability to fly direct to such a wide variety of airports can save our clients several hours, or even days, on a business or leisure trip, and that is a large part of our value proposition,” said operations manager Blair Parrant.

A map showing all of the airports within range of Boundary Bay can be found at: http://airwestcharters.com/destinations.

The Coca Cola image of Santa has become so engrained in our North American expectation of Christmas that it poses a bit of a quandary I have been caught up in over the past number of years. My long white beard might have something to do with it, I guess.

I don’t wish to express a “Grinchly” perspective but I thought a brief public reflection might cause some to have thoughtful conversations over the next few weeks about the images that are central to the meaning and reason for Christmas.

A few years ago I was given a fun canvas red lettered wall hanging that outlined The Four Stages

stages of life, at least by this standard.

Having now donned the red suit for a few community-based events, I find myself caught up in considering the message it sends. It brings fun and smiles to many faces, but truly the image I would prefer to project, if a Santa image is to be involved, is the one of Santa kneeling at the manger which holds Jesus, the Christ Child.

The first Christmas was the greatest gift given to the world, the Incarnation, God enfleshed to live among us.

I may not choose to change the fourth stage of life, but I can be clear of my true focus image of Christmas.

Neighbours on 46th Avenue in Ladner have joined forces to create a coordinated approach to holiday decorating.

Neighbours get into the act

Ladner couple’s decorating efforts prompt those on either side to jump in IAN JACQUES

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

A Christmas tradition continues to grow for a Ladner couple and its neighbours.

Meiric Preece and his wife Kathy, who have lived in Ladner for 34 years, have always done a fair bit of Christmas decorating, but for the last few years they’ve created one of the largest displays in the community with some 2,500 lights and ornaments at 5374-46th Ave. The Preeces’ neighbours, Paulette and Rick Wyenberg and Lindsay and Brendan Maxwell, have also got into the festive spirit so now there are three homes in a row decked out in the same theme.

“A lot of the lights are mine and they have spilled over onto their homes, on the lawn and in the bushes,” said Meiric Preece. “I decorate the major trees as well. It’s all a lot of fun and I have some great neighbours who also appreciate the spirit of it all.”

Preece said the Maxwells plan to make their display even bigger next year.

“I’ve always enjoyed doing this. We get a lot of drive-bys and I, of course, have three granddaughters. They are five, seven and nine, so when I’m doing this I have them in mind,” he said. “It used to be all the neighbourhood kids, but we all are at the stage where it is the grandkids.”

• It’s a family affair for Stephen Bailey at his home at 5350 Wallace Ave. in Tsawwassen.

Bailey said the display, which grows every year, is a product of his wife and daughter.

“It’s all handmade, plywood cut-outs, which they trace the patterns for and I cut out,” he said.

He said this year’s theme is Santa’s workshop with a lot of elves working all over the yard.

“There has to be more than 20, I think,” he said.

“This year is mostly new, but there are a few carryovers. My in-laws get involved and they put out the lights, ornaments and candy canes. We have a lot of fun with it. My wife and daughter started it to add a little joy to the neighbourhood during the Christmas season.”

• Another notable home is in Ladner at 4619 Garry St. where Roy Botkin goes all out decorating a tractor with strings of colourful lights, Santa riding a motorcycle, other Christmas figures and loads of lights on the house and front yard.

“It’s all Roy and he puts a lot into it, so I just thought he deserved some recognition,” said wife Val. “He does this during Halloween too.”

Besides lighting up their front yard, which is across the street from Delta Secondary, the Botkins are also in charge of the carol ships that sailed into Ladner Harbour last weekend.

Mouse” as a teenager, she grew up in West Vancouver and was the first Canadian women to ever medal at the Olympics in swimming when she won three medals in 1968 in Mexico City.

Two years earlier she won seven medals, including four golds, at the Commonwealth Games, which earned her the Lou Marsh Trophy as the country’s top athlete. She was the youngest ever, at just 15, to win the award.

Among many accolades, she was made an officer of the Order of Canada and was voted one of Canada’s all-time 50 greatest athletes.

Tanner and Watt spend their time between B.C. and Ontario devoted to social issues, including mental health, homelessness, animal rights and the environment.

They also promote public awareness on water safety issues and drowning prevention.

An enchanting tale about the wisdom and magic of unconditional love and friendship can be yours for free this Sunday.

Former Canadian Olympic swimmer, turned author, Elaine Tanner, who recently moved to South Delta with her husband John Watt, is offering up her delightful children’s book Monkey Guy and The Cosmic Fairy as a special Christmas gift to the community.

She will be signing and giving away the book, valued at $20, in the Tsawwassen Springs main lobby this Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m.

The book, written by Tanner and illustrated by Denis Proulx, was published in 2015.

“Because I love to write and have three grandchildren, I thought I have had such an amazing life, such

an amazing journey and learned about love. The best thing in life is to give unconditional love,” she said. “So I thought what a great gift for my grandkids was to spin a magical tale of the greatest gifts of unconditional love and friendship.”

Over the past few years, Tanner has gifted the books at various events and charity endeavours across the country, including Children’s Wish Toronto and Variety Village.

“Based on my life’s journey, there are a lot of life lessons in it. Kids can relate to it, but it’s also a great read for adults as well,” Tanner said. “It’s about a little stuffed monkey that John gave me for Christmas one year and he is the hero of the book. It really is a message of being loving and kind. We need this desperately in the world right now.”

ADVICE FROM THE PROS QUESTION:

QUESTION

How was 2019 in the world of Plumbing and Heating?

How do hearing aids work? Are there operations or medications I can take to treat my hearing loss rather than get hearing aids?

ANSWER:

Paul Bach Owner 604-940-2268

It has been a whirlwind year in the Plumbing and Heating Business!

We have been up to our knees in floods, freezing in broken down boiler rooms and have unclogged more drains than we can count! It’s all in a day’s work for our hard working technicians.

Our 23’rd year in business has been one of excitement, growth and change. We have expanded our office and are constantly expanding our staff.

We are a preferred Plumbing and Heating Contractor for The City of Vancouver, The City of Richmond and The City of Delta. We have managed to keep our large clientele of commercial and residential clients happy with our exceptional service and have added more of them to our service family. We have accomplished this thanks to our dedicated employees.

We want to say thanks to all of our wonderful customers, the new, the old, and the ones we are yet to meet.

This Holiday Season, we hope you find yourselves surrounded by your loved ones.

As we await the arrival of Santa, please stay safe, dry and warm.

If you find yourselves not dry and warm… give us a call.

From our Family at PJB Mechanical to all of yours, Merry Christmas and All the Best in 2020!!

ANSWER At their most basic, hearing aids are microphones that convert sound into electrical signals. An amplifier increases the strength of the signal, then a receiver (speaker) converts it back to sound and channels it into the ear canal through a small tube or earmold. A battery is necessary to power the hearing aid and to enable amplification.

3. Mixed: A combination of sensorineural and conductive.

Q: Market volatility makes me nervous. What should I do to stop worrying?

Q: Use GFCI Outlets for Holiday Lights?

A: Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets are special

Ans. If you are nervous about your investments, you’re not alone.

Here’s my advice:

Filter out the media noise. Dramatic news makes good headlines, but in reality volatility is normal and healthy. Successful investing involves using the “ups” and “downs” to your advantage.

Do you plan on having a similar sale this year?

ANSWER: We decided to run a large sale on Royal Canadian Mint product from the first of November until Christmas.

As you can understand, we are very well stocked with duplicate inventory since we combined two stores into one.

There are now seven large showcases filled with mint products on sale.

Starting November 1 we will be giving additional discounts on our lowest sale prices.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

All RCM product from 2016 and older is now on sale for 25% off the lowest sale price we have it marked at.

All RCM product from 2017 will be on sale for 15% off lowest marked price, and 2018 RCM product on sale for 10% off lowest marked price.

This is well below our cost on many items, let alone the Mint issue price.

These prices are so low that I have Ebay sellers buying off us to resell on Ebay.

1. Sensorineural: The most common type, it occurs when the inner ear nerves (and hair cells) are damaged and do not properly transmit auditory signals to the brain. Can be treated with hearing aids.

2. Conductive: Is typically the result of obstructions in the ear. Can usually be treated medically or surgically.

www.PJBmechanical.com

Ensure your portfolio is well structured. Your financial advisor should customize an investment portfolio unique to your circumstances, carefully considering your specific needs for wealth protection, tax efficient income and comfort with risk.

There are alterative forms of treatment for hearing loss (instead of hearing aids), although only 5% of hearing loss in adults can be improved medically or surgically.

It all depends on the type of hearing loss you have experienced. There are three types:

Matt Wood,

Red Seal Master Electrician

604-943-4238

www.woodelectric.ca

electrical outlets that are installed in areas where there is a risk of electricity meeting water like exterior outlets and in kitchens and bathrooms.

GFCI outlets can be identified by the “test” and “reset” buttons on their face and monitor the flow of an electricity in the circuit. When a ground fault occurs, the flow between the neutral and hot wire becomes unbalanced and the GFCI immediately trips the electrical circuit to disconnect electricity.

GFCI outlets not only prevent serious electric shock, but they also reduce the risk of electrical fires and prevent damage to appliances. All outdoor Christmas light installations should be fed from GFCI protected outlets. Additionally, the lights and any extension cords should be approved for outdoor use by the product manufacturer and should not be altered in any way.

If your GFCI outlet keeps tripping with your lights, unplug them and try connecting something different into the outlet. If the GFCI still trips, your outlet likely needs replacement. If the outlet holds, then it is likely your old light strings or extension cords causing the ground fault. Check your cords and connections and replace anything looking worn and old.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “PORT” YOUR MORTGAGE? Porting means keeping your mortgage … but changing your home. Essentially you are picking up your current mortgage with its terms and conditions and moving it to a new home. Porting your mortgage will save you a costly penalty or allow you to keep an attractive mortgage rate. Lenders will require an up to date credit application and will want to review the details of the new property before approving the “port”. If your looking at a larger home you also may also qualify to add-on to the mortgage. Contact your mortgage professional for details.

QUESTION:

QUESTION:

Mom’s feeling down... How can we make the holidays easier for everyone?

The holidays are a bustling time. For seniors, especially those who live alone, this time of year can be a source of isolation and loneliness, as families rush ‘around’ them with preparations.

The approaching season can increase feelings of loss too, as there may be loved ones no longer with us, impacting how the holidays are celebrated, and changing family tradition. This is also common if their home environment has changed, by down-sizing, or moving in with grown children. Contact with family and friends helps your mom stay connected and included in the season’s excitement. Try to remember she used to organize these festivities and still wants to feel part of it. Welcome her to join in or lead preparations & activities as able. Simply increasing regular HoneyDo visits ensures an easier time for everyone during the holidays. We can assist in shopping, wrapping, baking, writing cards, and escort to festivities and other merry-making.

remove and replace teeth all on the same day. The placement of implants involves many factors. This technology allows us to see exactly where anatomy of the bone, sinus and nerves that are located in the head and allows a predictable result when placing implants. People can potentially have a tooth removed and replaced in the very same day. This way a person only has to go through one surgical procedure and only need a couple of days to heal, instead of removing the tooth and waiting several months before replacing the area. Implant placement is an everyday procedure at Riverside Dental, and our Doctor has many years of experience. We offer free consults for people who are interested in replacing one or many teeth in the same day. (604) 946-9588.

I don’t like using adhesives and implants are not an option for me.

Is there a way to make a lower denture tighter and stays down so that I can eat without implants, adhesives or surgery?

ANSWER:

Yes there is! And it is called SEMCD.

Hoil Kim Denturist / Dental Technician

SEMCD is an acronym for Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture. It basically means a lower denture with suction.

Dr. Jiro Abe of Japan has developed a technique to create a lower denture that has the suction of an upper denture without the use of implants, adhesives or surgery.

SEMCD will make the denture wearer feel more secure and confident.

It involves a new design philosophy and high definition technique of capturing a highly accurate impression of your mouth. This is a new revolution in dentures. It is the best fitting denture on the market today.

Give us a call if you are interested in finding out more about SEMCD or want to come in for a frree consultation to see if you are a candidate.

Q: Do you have any tips for me over the busy & stressful holiday season?

Ans. What a great question – I have often found that, in order to care well for others, you must care for yourself first. Ask yourself “in what ways do I care for myself”? The answer is not as easy as it first appears.

Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. Self-care is not something that needs to be forced or something that we don’t enjoy. Neither is it a selfish act, in short, self-care should be something that refuels us – rather than takes from us. Sticking to the basics and being aware of what you do, why you do it, how it feels, and the outcomes are great first steps. Come see me for more tips.

As 2019 draws to a close and the holidays are in full swing; keeping yourself in good health is important to fully participate in all the joys of the season. Pop in for a full range of options to assist you in maintaining your good health.

From all of us; wishing health, happiness, peace and joy for you and your family and loved ones this Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Community Carol ships sail into harbour PHOTOS BY JIM KINNEAR

Colourful boats sailed down the river into Ladner Harbour last weekend in one of the community’s most popular holiday traditions.

The boats were met at the government dock by carolers from the Ladner Gospel Assembly, who have been performing at the event for more than four decades.

The Canadian Lifeboat Institution helped out by towing one of the carol ships that had broken down. See more photos at www.delta-optimist. com.

Maisie is a beautiful three year old female bully mix. She weighs around 50lbs or so. Maisie loves people and happily goes into wiggle bum mode over to anyone who shows her attention. She loves giving soft, gentle kisses to anyone who will let her! This little lady is looking for an experienced family who has the patience to help her continue making progress around other dogs. She has been working with our trainer (free training will also be provided to her adopter!) and does very well with larger dogs, even instigating play after proper introductions. As much as she likes people and is enjoying other dogs, she doesn’t not appreciate cats. Maisie is also crate trained, spayed and up to date on all vaccines.

Greater Vancouver Canadians improved to 14-2-0-0 in the new BC Hockey Major Bantam League with a 4-0 win over Vancouver North West Hawks on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. The team is headed to a pair of high-profile tournaments in the coming weeks.

Tourney tests next for Canadians

Greater Vancouver off to 14-2-0-0 start in BC Hockey’s new Major Bantam League MARK BOOTH

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

The Greater Vancouver Canadians are soaring through the inaugural season of B.C. Hockey’s Major Bantam League and are looking forward to stronger competition at a couple of high-profile tournaments over the next month.

The Canadians improved to 14-2-0-0 in league play with a 4-0 win over the Vancouver North West Hawks on Sunday at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Only the Okanagan Rockets (14-0-1-1) have a better record in the eight-team regional circuit.

They are coached by Adam Nugent-Hopkins — the older brother of the Edmonton Oilers star forward.

“We have playing well and are off to a good start,” he said. “We kind of have to work on the details to continue to get better because as we go to these tournaments we start playing stiffer competition.

Those little things that you might

get by doing against some teams you won’t against those top ones.”

That tournament exposure begins in the Bantam AAA Elite Division of the Pat Quinn Classic — Dec. 28-31. The Canadians get a huge test right out of the gate against the Burnaby Winter Club’s Bantam Elite squad. It will be their first time facing an academy team and there will be more games to come.

Greater Vancouver and Okanagan have been accepted into the prestigious 42nd annual John Reid Memorial Tournament in St. Albert in mid-January. The 20-team event is loaded with academy competition including four from B.C. — Delta Green, Yale, West Van and St. Georges.

B.C. Hockey representation in what is considered the premier Bantam tournament in Western Canada is a win in itself.

All it takes is a glance at the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft in recent years to understand the top 13-and-14-year-olds

have been going the academy route.

The provincial organization wanted to create another option for families that kept kids closer to home and was more affordable too.

Unlike academies, the Major Bantam League does have player boundaries. The Canadians feature talent exclusively from Richmond, Delta and Vancouver.

They still managed to attract around 70 players to initial tryouts.

“We are extremely excited and quite humbled to be accepted into the (Reid) tournament,” continued Nugent-Hopkins. “We are looking to build this (league) one step at a time. Getting the opportunity to play in these big tournaments will open up the eyes of some families and parents that may want the chance to play locally at the elite level and not go to an academy.

“John Reid is the benchmark.

It’s the Macs tournament for Bantams. We hope we can per-

form well and at least be competitive. It’s a learning experience for a lot of these kids. Over the years they are probably use to playing flight two or a little lower than this level, especially when you start to play those academy programs that are pretty much spring hockey teams that are selected from much of Western Canada. There is still a lot for them to learn along the way.”

The Canadians roster features: Ryan Nimi, Brandon Petrie, Ben Cowell, Thomas Wang, Charlie Derrheim, Will Sharpe, Dylan Nazareth, Massimo Fazio, JJ Milne, William McColman, Jack Dipaolo, Grady Lenton, Tyler Thorpe, Kai Belanger, Jamie Hikida, Matthew Hikida, Bryce Strandt, Remy Quintoro, Markus Lam. Lenton, the team captain, sits third in league scoring with 23 points in 16 games, including 14 goals. Quintoro leads all netminders with a 9-0-0 record and 0.96 goals against average with two shutouts.

DevilsshowplentyofpromiseatGrade9level MARK BOOTH

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

They might have been on the outside looking in, but the South Delta Sun Devils certainly made a worthy case of being among the top Grade 9 girls volleyball teams in the province this season.

The 2019 campaign ended in disappointment when the Sun Devils were not given a wild card berth for the recent provincial championships in Surrey. Even though the tournament had a selection process it is an invitational and not sanctioned by B.C. School Sports.

The Sun Devils won the Delta championship and finished second to McMath in the inaugural South Fraser playoffs that featured the top schools from Richmond, Delta and Surrey. Throw in tournament play as well and coach Kevin McGregor figured his squad was among the top five in B.C. “We had beaten the Surrey #1, we had beaten the Okanagan #1, we were one of a few teams to take a set off of McMath. I told the girls with each accomplishment, that that should get us in. I didn’t see how we would not get one of the two wildcards that were available,” he explained.

Instead the two wild card spots were given to No. 2 independent Notre Dame and Okanagan runner-up Mt. Boucherie.

“I have not been able to give the girls or their parents an answer as to why we didn’t get in other than it is an invitational, even though there were qualifications which included city champions such Surrey, North Van, Vancouver, but not Delta,” continued McGregor. “Last I checked South Delta, Seaquam and Delta Secondary are known to have some pretty good volleyball teams.”

The disappointment hardly dampens McGregor’s enthusiasm about the group that he decided to come down from the junior level to work with, along with community coach Alysha Deslippe.

Typically each year, three or four Grade 9 players have the talent to play at the junior level, but McGregor saw as many as 10 after watching last spring’s U14 provincial club championships.

Five of them were selected to Volleyball B.C.’s four-day Baden Cup development camp.

“This group will be a force in junior next year. Seven of the 11 girls are playing club together with Team Performance (in South Surrey). Two others are with Rain

City,” added McGregor. “They will have a chip on their shoulder from being overlooked this year. I promise to take them around the province to make sure they are not overlooked again.”

The team included: Myah Cressy,

Bianka Filc, Jade Glicksohn, Georgia Jacobsen, Isabella Jaramillo, Georgia Kwiatkowski, Esther Lim, Tayah Meehan, Hailey Nelson, Rachel Rosser, Anna Tanaka, Issi Sherritt, Amely Vorontsov and Anna Yamaleev.

New zone no easier task for Pacers & Devils MARK BOOTH

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

Playoff road trips will be a whole lot shorter, but the challenge to contend for provincial tournament berths remains immense for the Delta Pacers and South Delta Sun Devils basketball programs.

League play is now underway for all four senior teams as they work their way towards the post-season in February.

The Pacers senior boys team has not qualified for the provincials since 2010 even though its task was made easier when BC Boys Basketball introduced a new tier a few years ago. Delta has come within a game of advancing to the Langley Events Centre on a couple of occasions in the old Fraser Valley AAA playoffs.

Now the Pacers are part of the new South Fraser Zone, exclusively for Delta, Richmond and Surrey schools. It is expected to have three BC berths up for grabs.

While Surrey has just five teams at this level, Richmond is a hotbed with three in the current provincial rankings — McMath, MacNeill and StevestonLondon. Besides the Pacers, Delta also features the reigning provincial champion North Delta Huskies who are now in rebuilding mode after their remarkable campaign last year.

Under second-year head coach and alumni Donovan Britten, the Pacers are part of the seven-team Sur-Del League.

Despite a rich athletic history at South

The Delta Pacers and Sun Devils continue to play in seperate senior boys tiers but will clash again in the new year in the annual Stebbings/Murray Cup rivalry game.

Delta Secondary, the Sun Devils senior boys basketball team has never qualified for the provincial tournament.

What’s hurt their chances in recent years is competing at the AAAA tier for largest schools. Not being part of the ridiculously deep Fraser Valley Zone anymore will help, but the South Fraser region is hardly a breeze.

Surrey has a whopping 15 teams competing at the AAAA level — including provincially ranked Lord Tweedsmuir, Tamanawis and Fleetwood Park. Also in the mix for the first time in recent memory is the Seaquam Seahawks who handed the Sun Devils a 73-51 loss in Sur-Del AAAA League opener for both teams. The Sands Scorpions have also moved up to the top tier this season.

South Delta will continue its league schedule on Tuesday at Frank Hurt.

On the girls side, the Pacers and Sun Devils have been part of a growing trend that sees schools opt to play at tier two and avoid dominant teams loaded with full-time club players.

The Sun Devils opened tier two league play Nov. 28 with a 53-19 loss to Tamanawis.

Both girls programs do, however, have some promising talent coming up at the Grade 8 and Junior levels.

For the past two years the Pacers and Sun Devils have been finalists in the Delta Grade 8 Girls playoffs, each winning a title. South Delta also reached the junior final last February before falling to Seaquam.

In Partnership With

GIBSON, Betty L. December 6, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Lou Gibson, nee Austin. Betty passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Delta Hospital on December 6, 2019.

Betty was born in Dauphin, Manitoba, where she met the love of her life, Ron Gibson (deceased), They were married as teenagers and made a great life together raising their children in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and finally BC. They retired to Nanaimo and loved their life together. Betty eventually moved to Ladner to be closer to her children and really became a part of her community.

A loving wife and mother, Betty had a passion for entertaining and cooking huge feasts for any occasion. She loved her home, having a full house of family and friends gave her the greatest pleasure. Her bucket list included seeing Michael Buble in concert and seeing her beloved Chicago Blackhawks, which her family made happen for her.

Her quick wit, sense of humour, matter−of−fact view of life, and cheeky disposition will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.

She volunteered at the Delta Thrift Shop and enjoyed all the love and kindness her ’Friday Gang’ showed her.

Betty is survived by her four children, Debra, Shelly Cochrane (Al), Wade (Luke), and Todd (Cindy).

Another member of her family, Michael Rudd (Sam), always held a very special place in her heart.

She is also survived by her sister, Jeannie Balabuch (Johnny); her brother−in−law, George Gibson (Barry); and sister−in−law, Linda Beattie (Clifford).

The family gives their greatest gratitude to those at Delta Hospital who cared for her during her final days. In lieu of flowers, any memorial donations would be welcome to Delta Hospital Auxiliary Society in Ladner.

OLIVER, Robert William (Robbie) July 10, 1982 - November 28, 2019 Robbie died suddenly and tragically in the early evening of November 28, 2019. He is survived by his partner Abby Malone, sons Kaydon, 13, and Brodie, 10, daughter Willow, 17 months, mother Maureen, and father, Wayne. He was predeceased by partner and mother of his two sons, Nicole Turner, and grandparents Alma and Deb Oliver.

Robbie grew up in Ladner, attending Hawthorne and Holly elementary schools, and Delta Secondary. In recent years he lived in North Delta, but retained his Ladner ties. In his twenties he entered the roofing trade, and ten years ago formed his own company, Oliver Roofing. He developed a strong work ethic, and was on the job in the hour before his death.

Robbie cherished his family, and reveled in travelling with them to Halfmoon Bay on the Sunshine Coast, where he had childhood ties, and the interior, fishing and panning for gold. He is deeply missed.

We the family, would like to thank the community for the outpouring of emotion and support.

Arrangements for a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

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

DAVIES, Jean C. T. September 14, 1925 − December 1, 2019 Jean passed away peacefully at Soldier’s Memorial Hospital in Orillia, Ontario, on Sunday, December 1st.

Jean will be missed by her children, Lesley Corte and Bud Davies; daughter−in−law, Michelle Biehler; and her grandchildren, Ben (Kristen), Emily, and Hannah.

Jean was born on her mother’s visit to Dunfirmline, Scotland, and grew up in Beaconsfield, Quebec.

After marrying her beloved husband, John Davies, in 1950, they lived in many cities across Canada, forming deep friendships along the way, before settling and retiring in Tsawwassen, British Columbia. After living in Tsawwassen for 37 years with John (pre−deceased), she recently moved back to Ontario to be cared for by family. Jean loved to hear about the lives of her grandchildren and was extremely proud of all of their accomplishments. She loved being surrounded by them at special times of the year, even if she couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Family and friends were very important to her and she strived to keep her immediate family, extended family, and friends connected.

Well into her 90’s, Jean continued to be a good sport and up for anything including sailing on Georgian Bay, visiting Whistler Peak, and taking a ferry ride to Victoria, BC. She was a model for active aging, being involved in her community, and participating in many sports, social events, and volunteer activities. Her daily visits to Macdonald’s kept her engaged with her many good friends and current events.

Special thanks to Dale and Bill Becks, Arlene Scudamore, Cynthia DePelham, John and Elfriede Biehler, and Ruth Bowles for their ongoing love and support. Much appreciation also to Gail Wilson, who over the past six months brought a daily spark to her day. Many thanks to Raija and everyone at Saint David’s House, whose care and friendship supported Jean’s independence and helped to make her last years rich and full. Jean will be missed but her memory will be everlasting.

As per her wishes, there will be a small family celebration of life when her children and grandchildren are together over the holidays. Jean supported many worthwhile causes over her life. In lieu of flowers or for those wishing to make memorial donations as expressions of sympathy, please give to a cause that is meaningful to you and your family. Also − wear purple!

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Nicholas (Nick) Sadowsky, loving dad, grandpa, brother, uncle, and friend passed peacefully after a return of cancer which he had previously fought into remission.

Nick was born near Redfield, Saskatchewan to Nikola Sadowsky and Paraska Kindrachuck both of the Ukraine. An RCMP veteran and a retiree of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, he was stationed with the RCMP in North Battleford, Carnduff and Swift Current, SK, Prince George, Ft. St. John and Lytton, BC and retired to work for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans while living in Tsawwassen BC. Some organizations Nick was involved with were The Kinsmen Charity, 40-K40 socials, The Royal Canadian Legion (original co-founding member and President and past President of the Tsawwassen Branch with 25 years of service), St. David’s Anglican Church in Tsawwassen and the Tsawwassen Pool Club.

Nick will be missed by and is survived by (former) wife Judy, daughters Nicole (Paul), Carla (Steve) and Lori, grandchildren Levi (Kroeker) Joy, Amy and Amber (Attalla), Micheal (Marusyk) and Breezanna (McBurney), brothers Ben (Jean), Syd (Anndeceased), and sister Stefanie and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews who fondly knew him as “Uncle Nick, their favourite uncle”. He was predeceased by his parents Nikola and Pauline, brother and sisters Walter (Jean), Marvin (Marie), Helen (Morris) Piderwerbeski, Alice (Harry) Barber, Sophie, and Paulette Lehman.

Nick will be remembered for his annual summer BBQ sing songs, his vegetable garden, his love of Hawaii (and his oil paintings of Hawaii); as well as his infamous Christmas letter, his care and concern towards those in need, his love and dedication to family, and his generosity and hospitality.

Nick’s legacy will live on in all of us as we remember those in need and give thanks for the everyday joy of family, friends, togetherness and reflection on the beauty in life.

A BIG THANK YOU TO NICE ANGELS...

I was in Tim Horten’s when the power went off.

Everyone had to leave.

Staff made sure I wouldn’t be alone and walked me to the bus stop. Then a man who recognized me made sure that I got on the right bus and I arrived home safely.

It was so appreciated...
