CUPE committed to enhanced cleaning efforts More resources in Delta as back to school nears 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

Parents are about to get an overview what a return to school will look like in Delta, but it’s a plan that will likely still draw much concern from parents and teachers.

Education Minister Rob Fleming recently announced students’ return to the classroom will be pushed to Sept. 10 to give teachers a chance to prepare for the latest COVID-19 guidelines.

On Wednesday afternoon the province released all 60 school district back to school plans.

The announcement came after the Optimist press deadline. See: www.delta-optimist.com for more on Delta’s plan.

Parents can also expect to receive further details from their child’s school.

District support work-

ers are hopeful they’ll have enough staff and protective equipment to undertake additional cleaning in schools.

Working closely with the Delta school district, CUPE Local 1091 president Daun Frederickson told the Optimist they’re anticipating they’ll have the resources needed to be able to handle cleaning protocols required for the COVID-19 return to school plan.

“We’re in a pandemic, so it’s really trying times, but I’m pleased there is the manpower going forward because there will be extra cleaning and extra expectations. I don’t know what that will look like in the future, but for right now we’re pleased,” she said.

The district recently listed a job posting looking for 16 new custodians, while bringing

casual positions into fulltime.

Frederickson said they are also pleased to learn additional equipment including masks and even shields will be provided by the province to school districts to help ensure the safety of staff and students.

“I’m pleased to see the things that are coming forward. They’re listening to us as CUPE members and the locals’ requests and it’s good to see all these things we are requesting coming forward,” she noted.

An occupational health and safety team has been involved in the formulation of a district safety plan, she added.

The government announced updated guidelines for a planned return of in-class learning.

Metro beach shuttle to end Labour Day MARK BOOTH

mbooth@delta-optimist.com

A complimentary shuttle service to Centennial Beach and Boundary Bay Regional Park is set to conclude Labour Day Weekend, but could be extended.

The shuttle, which runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends from the South Delta recreation centre, was launched back in July

by Metro Vancouver to relieve traffic congestion around the park. It will conclude on Sept. 7, but according to Metro officials, the schedule is flexible if favourable beach weather extends later into the month.

“It really is weather dependent. Right now we are aiming for Labour Day weekend to kind of being the last shuttle run,” said Steve Schaffrick, Division Manager, Parks Central Area, Regional Parks and Environment for Metro Vancouver. “The thing that would apply post-

Labour Day is there is a chance we could get some good weather, and with COVID-19 all-bets are off on how people are using the parks.

There is a chance, say the weekend after, we may run the shuttle.”

Schaffrick said early analysis since the July launch indicates the shuttle is far more utilized on Sundays. He pointed to the Aug. 15th weekend near record temperatures when just eight people used the shuttle on Saturday compared to 140 on Sunday.

“Sundays have been busier and Saturdays have been quite quiet, which typically is the trend of the park too,” he said. “Sunday or a stat holiday tend to be busy days.”

Park and beach usage during summer weekends has been on the uptick in recent years, but there is no actual capacity, where people could be turned away, even with proper social

A free shuttle to Centennial Beach, operated by Metro Vancouver, is set to end over the Labour Day weekend.

distancing requirements during COVID-19.

“For Centennial we don’t have a park capacity and actually none of our parks do,” said Schaffrick. ”When you think about Boundary Bay there is a long trail system and there is multiple entry points coming into Boundary Bay. We actually encourage people to ride bikes or walk into the park rather than bring in a car. Then you think ‘are we stopping people from doing

that?’

“Centennial actually has a lot of real estate in terms of space. I know there has been comments and perceptions that it is a very over crowded beach. Our staff observations and the pictures that we take on those busy days doesn’t really align with that. White Pine Beach (Belcarra Regional Park) definitely can be a problem and we have taken some measures up there. Centennial is dif-

ferent in that there is so much space there when you look at kind of north into the dune area too.”

As for the shuttle, there’s a good chance it will continue in 2021 and beyond with perhaps some fine tuning with the schedule.

“The shuttle, new traffic management in the park and working with the city of Delta has really helped reduce that traffic impact into the surrounding neighbourhood,” added Schaffrick.

Teachers say biggest concerns have yet to be addressed CONTINUED from Page 1 Those guidelines, among other things, include increased cleaning of high-contact surfaces like doorknobs, keyboards, desks and chairs.

However, teachers say some of their biggest concerns have yet to be addressed in the restart plan.

Delta Teachers’ Association president Susan Yao told the Optimist there’s still a lot of pieces to the puzzle that don’t seem to fit.

“Ultimately, it’s up the ministry. I think there needs to be more consideration for what some of the partner groups are saying. Many are asking for a delayed start, or even a staggered start, to allow more work to be done and clarify how it’s all going to work out. The anxiety level of teachers is high, “she said.

The lack of before and after school care is also an issue, Yao added.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Teri Mooring last week said that while teachers fully support the ongoing efforts of the education partner groups to get students back to learning as soon as possible, the sharp rise in active COVID-19 cases has many worried that government has not done enough to ensure teachers, students, and their families are safe.

B.C. should be pursuing a remote learning model that would allow for in-class and remote learning, especially for medically complex children, she said in a news release.

“Right across this province, new timetables are being developed that will see teachers and support staff in classrooms with up to 30 students or more with-

out physical barriers, capacity limits, or face coverings that we have all grown accustomed to in other workplaces like the grocery store, dental office, or restaurant. Physical distancing is not possible in these classrooms.

The situation will be particularly worrisome in B.C.’s largest and fastest growing districts that have hundreds of portables.

Many BC schools also have outdated ventilation systems and thousands of students will be in classrooms without external windows,” stated Mooring.

She also noted the K–12 restart plan, even with the learning group concept, has made no change to classroom density, and schools simply can’t have a group of thirty 17-year-olds in a typical classroom for hours and maintain physical distancing for them or their teacher.

Among the BCTF’s recom-

mendations include requiring all adults and students 10 years and older wearing face masks when physical distancing is not possible, as long as there is not a medical condition, school and worksites being retrofitted with physical barriers for safety, where physical distancing is not Delta District Parent Advisory Council chair Joe Muego told the Optimist last week parent concerns include families not wanting to expand their socalled “bubbles” to include their children’s school cohorts, saying they’re concerned for the safety of older people living in multigenerational homes.

Another concern is that children, including those who live out of boundary or outside the district, could end up losing their placement in Delta schools if parents choose not to have them attend in-class sessions.

Delta MP says time to ‘reimagine’ Temporary Foreign Worker program 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 Government of Canada is taking additional action to reduce COVID-19 outbreaks on farms, but is also taking a look at changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker program.

That’s what Delta MP Carla Qualtrough is saying in response to a recent rally calling for better protection of temporary foreign workers.

Qualtrough, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, noted the government’s announcement this summer of strengthening the Temporary Foreign Workers program and making further investments to safeguard the health and safety of Canadian and temporary foreign employees from COVID-19.

“Temporary foreign workers play a vital role in preserving Canada’s food security,” she said. “They are essential workers who have stepped up during this pandemic to help ensure that there is food on our tables and on tables around the world. Since the very beginning of this pandemic, we have worked with provinces, partner countries,

industry organizations and other stakeholders to protect the health and safety of temporary foreign workers, farm workers in particular. Despite these efforts, there have been COVID-19 outbreaks on a number of Canadian farms.

“That is why we announced on July 31 additional measures aimed at reducing the incidence and impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on farms. With an investment of $58.6 million, we are strengthening the Temporary Foreign Worker program in a number of areas, including inspections, housing and onfarm mitigation. We are also supporting migrant worker organizations to ensure that workers get the information and support they require.

“This pandemic has exposed long existent power imbalances and gaps within our Temporary Foreign Worker program. Even though we recognize that there are many employers who are ensuring safe and healthy work arrangements for all workers, there are others who are not doing so. The Prime Minister and I believe that we need to reimagine this program. I am working with other Cabinet colleagues to modernize the Temporary Foreign Workers

program, and will continue to work hard to make the system more fair and equitable for everyone.”

A rally was held last Friday outside Qualtrough’s constituency office in Ladner by advocates for migrant workers in Canada, saying the essential workers urgently need the same essential rights as Canadian workers.

The rally was part of the Amnesty for Undocumented Workers Campaign, led by the Migrant Workers Centre and endorsed by 30 organizations.

Several speakers described the challenges faced by temporary foreign workers and called on Qualtrough and her government to take action on what’s been described as a continued failure to address the urgent needs of the workers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They said employers are taking advantage of the workers who face low wages and standards as well as a lack of basic rights and services.

Natalie Drolet with the Migrant Workers Centre told the Optimist more than 1,300 migrant workers in Ontario alone have been infected with COVID19 and three have died, including one

undocumented worker.

Noting the workers are tied to just a single employer, she said it’s difficult for them to come forward to negotiate their working conditions and speak up if they have concerns about the health and safety of their workplace due to fear they will be removed from Canada.

The group says the government’s announcement this summer falls significantly short of what the workers need and deserve.

Stabbing suspect gets 10 years 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 man responsible for a 2019 double stabbing that seriously injured a woman and a Delta police officer outside North Delta’s Immaculate Conception elementary school has been sentenced to 10 years.

The sentence was handed down Friday morning in a Surrey provincial courtroom.

The man’s name or the female victim’s name cannot be identified due to a court imposed publication ban.

With time already served, he will be in custody for a further seven years and nine months.

Charges of attempted murder, unlawful confinement and aggravated assault were read out in court in February of this year, and the man, through the aid of an interpreter, entered guilty pleas to all three charges before Justice Della Jahani.

The guilty pleas were entered the day a twoweek trial was scheduled to start.

The sentencing hearing was originally slated for May, but was moved to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Both Crown Counsel and defense presented a joint submission for a 10-year jail sentence during a day long sentencing hearing last Thursday.

Jahani presented a two-hour review of her decision on Friday.

“She provided some very through and thoughtful reasons today, speaking to the community, about the crime, its impact and the sentence,” Crown Counsel Michael Fortino told the Optimist.

“This was the right outcome for sure. It was a very tragic case. It certainly brought closure to everybody to start to heal.”

On Feb. 20, 2019, DPD Sgt. John Jasmins, who was off-duty, witnessed an altercation between a

man and a woman at the school and intervened.

Both he and a female victim received serious stab wounds. Jasmins noted in subsequent media interviews that his children actually witnessed the incident. Uniformed police arrived to the scene quickly, and a suspect was apprehended minutes later.

“These are significant sentences, and they reflect the severity of the incident that took place at Immaculate Conception in February 2019,” said DPD Chief Neil Dubord. “Many people in our community were impacted by the stabbing, most notably the victims. I am very proud of how our officers responded the day of the incident, and the investigative work that was done to ensure that the accused was brought to justice. I hope that these sentences provide some relief and closure for the victims.”

Canucks’ fans land in COVID-19 penalty box 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

Despite repeated requests from Delta police and Surrey RCMP to celebrate Canucks’ victories on Scott Road and 72nd in a safe and socially-distanced manner, several fans are not getting the message.

RCMP said a number of fans celebrating the team’s win on Friday night chose to ignore physical distancing requirements when upwards of 1,000 people gathered.

DPD said residents and hockey fans in North Delta will see an increased police presence in the popular celebratory area following Canuck playoff games.

The increased presence is to ensure the safety of those celebrating, drivers and pedestrians.

“As the Canucks have progressed this season, we have seen steady

growth in the number of fans celebrating in the area of 120th Street and 72nd Avenue,” said Insp.

Ciaran Feenan. “While we understand fans wanting to celebrate, we want to ensure that fans are being safe and are following public health orders in regards to COVID-19; maintaining social distance, wearing a mask, and not congregating in groups of more than 50 people. Our advice: please stay home to celebrate, and Go Canucks Go.” After the Canucks’ win on Friday, Aug. 21, DPD received comments from concerned citizens who called and wrote into their social media channels expressing the disregard of many fans who did not practice COVID-19 friendly measures. Due to the size of the gathering, DPD, in partnership with Surrey RCMP focused their efforts on pedestrian and traffic safety.

Residents concerned about COVID-19 violations are asked to contact Delta Bylaws at: 604-9464141, or call DPD’s nonemergency line during non-business hours at 604-946-4411.

“Canucks fans who gathered in large groups without masks on Friday night should consider this to be their warning,” added Sgt. Roger Green of the Surrey COVID19 Compliance and Enforcement Team.

“The public and the police are not happy with the disregard for physical distancing and expect you do to better for the sake of your families, yourselves, and your fellow residents.”

Surrey RCMP handed out a total of seven tickets for seat belt violations as a result of occupants hanging out of windows or sunroofs.

“We are asking everyone to ensure that they are complying with COVID-19 public health

Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

C

anucks’ fans you have been put on notice.

That’s the message from Surrey RCMP and Delta police following a night of revelry along Scott Road and 72nd Ave. Friday evening after the Vancouver Canucks game six playoff victory over the St. Louis Blues.

The police agencies estimate more than 1,000 fans came out – not many wearing masks – or social distancing, to cheer and celebrate the big win.

DPD officers and Mounties have issued a warning post event – if you chose to celebrate in large groups and not follow COVID-19 health and safety protocols then expect to pay for your celebrating.

This stern message comes after Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth on Friday gave police and other provincial enforcement officers the ability to issue $2,000 violation tickets for owners or organizers contravening the provincial health officer’s (PHO) order on gatherings and events. They will also be able to issue $200 violation tickets to individuals not following the direction of police or enforcement staff at events or who refuse to comply with requests to follow PHO orders or safe operating procedures, or respond with abusive behaviour.

All I can say is it is about darn time Mr. Farnworth.

After weeks of following the rules, staying inside, not seeing our loved ones, masking up and socially distancing, COVID-19 cases dropped, but are now on the rise again, thanks to some people, mostly young people, partying, holding beach drum circles and celebrating along Scott Road as if they didn’t have a care in the world.

This lack of carelessness and selfishness puts us all at risk as we try and bend back the COVID-19 curve.

Remember, we are all in this together. Let’s all start acting like it shall we.

Best of luck Ted and thanks for the opportunity to write all these years

I

wish the best of luck to Ted Murphy and his move to wild rose country.

Being an editor of a newspaper is a tough job.

There is no way that you can express the viewpoints of everyone all of the time. There is a certain amount of balance that has to be maintained in commentary and opinion and that has been a difficult task given the number of important issues that have come up in our communities over the years.

I was one of the first “community comment” writers and have been adding my voice for the community for 13 or so years, for good or ill, and I thank Ted for that opportunity.

I have written about all kinds of contentious issues over the years. Delta Port third berth, Tsawwassen Springs, transportation, densification and of course the Southlands.

As noted in this paper recently, the Southlands discovery centre and the first phase of the development will be ready this coming fall. I worked with Century Group and the Southlands Community Planning Team in the early stages of the project and chronicled the design process on the Southlands in

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

Transition website.

I was clearly inspired by listening to expert urban planners, designers, architects, educators and urban agriculture innovators. People like Andreas Duane, Douglas Farr, Michael Ableman and others brought so much knowledge and vision to the intensive process.

This inspiration has guided me in my quest to educate youth about food and farming and to extol the benefits of community-generated food production. The concept of the Southlands was once described as a necklace of agriculture woven in to the community. From window box to courtyard and farmers’ fields and everything in between, food was to be the

backbone and inspiration for the ambitious development.

I have written about, and have been an advocate for, the concept of the Southlands since day one. Although my support for the project has not been shared by all, I am hoping that we can collectively appreciate, especially now, that the need to keep food close and sovereign is as important today as it was for our pioneering forefathers.

Farmers big and small will be working alongside of apprentices and students to deliver fresh produce to the market square so that residents and visitors to the Southlands can enjoy the benefits of a community built around food and farming.

The neighbouring Farm Roots mini-school has just wrapped up its summer cohort and has been able to deliver fantastic produce to the community and to the food bank and is a fine example of how youth involvement in agriculture can benefit us all.

Mike Schneider is founder of Project Pickle and likes to write about growing, cooking and eating food. He is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution ambassador.

Letters

Hospice should support all end of life choices

Editor: Re: Battle for Delta Hospice Society back in court, Aug. 20 Angelina Ireland, President, Delta Hospice Society (DHS) stated in the above article that the BC Courts are forcing “us to let a hostile group take over the Society, change its foundational purposes, and seize the assets built up for over 30 years.”

Ms. Ireland seems to think that she has considerable experience with Delta Hospice and represents a lengthy history with the organization. In fact, she has only been on the DHS Board of Directors for two years; her six board colleagues have each less than a year of experience.

Along with my fellow petitioners, Chris Pettypiece and Jim Levin, collectively we have nearly 20 years of experience on the DHS board and 10 consecutive years in the role of President of the Society. We have a much

greater understanding of the organization and its history than the current board.

One could say the “hostile takeover” is

by Ms. Ireland and her appointees to the board.

These individuals do not represent the community of Delta. As has been said before, the four appointees to the DHS board were new members to the organization and now have control of the board.

Many would call that a takeover.

The foundational DHS purposes, which include “to provide compassionate care in the last stages of living” as well as “peoples’ health care choices are respected and valued” have not changed.

It is the interpretation of these purposes that is being debated.

DHS has accumulated considerable assets over the years. These assets are a result of tremendous community support.

This board did not

amass these assets; hard work by many volunteers and community members as well as local businesses and groups supported the financial needs of the Society. These are the very individuals that the current board now wants to exclude from having a voice in the future of the organization.

The Take Back Delta Hospice advocacy group is grateful for the hundreds of community members who are supporting their efforts.

Though the court proceedings have been postponed for a couple of months, this group remains committed to ensuring the DHS membership reflects the wishes of the entire community and will use this delay to strengthen local representation. Our community needs our hospice to provide compassionate palliative care that supports all peoples’ end of life choices.

Editor: I regularly walk, drive or bike in Ladner, and have observed individuals (both young and old) on numerous occasions riding their bikes without

a helmet.

Firstly, it’s dangerous!

A bike accident can result in a serious and sometimes permanent, lifealtering head injury.

Secondly, wearing a hel-

met while cycling is B.C. provincial law. Breaking this law can result in fines.

Let’s be safe and get with the program folks.

Gratitude for coming to my aid Editor: I would like to thank the people who helped when I collapsed near 14th street from an anaphylactic (allergic) reaction to a sting on Aug. 8.

I was not in any shape to recognize anyone,

but I understand from my family, there was an off-duty fireman and an off-duty nurse. They stayed with me until the ambulance came. The ambulance personnel were professional and caring. When I was taken

to Delta Hospital, I was treated with grace, courtesy and professionalism.

I appreciate all the care and compassion shown to me both by the people who came to my aid initially and in the hospital.

Remember dangers of tailgating Editor: too close to the vehicle in front of you.

We’re all suitably impressed by drivers of big pickup trucks, and we appreciate the contribution of gas tax dollars towards our growing public debt.

However, please try to remember the dangers of tailgating.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, tailgating is following much

Generally, a good two second gap is a reasonable rule of thumb. Tailgating doesn’t accomplish anything, it doesn’t get you anywhere faster, and it endangers the lives of other drivers.

Just think about this when you are on the road. Thank you.

Let’s make sneezing into your sleeve a thing of the past Editor: The war against our invisible enemy, COVID-19, continues unabated.

Governments and medical professionals are unsparing with their advice on our social behavior, the precautions we should take, the rules we should observe. They even tell us how to sneeze, into our elbows or our sleeves.

Each time I see one our vaunted professionals urge us to do this I shake my head in disbelief. Sneeze in your elbow? This is absolutely disgusting. Are you going to walk around all day with snot and other solid particles on your sleeves? What if you have to sneeze a number of times? How many sleeves do

we have available? What if you are in short sleeves?

Have these geniuses who urge us to carry on this vile practice never heard of handkerchiefs (hankies) and Kleenexes?

When I was a small child, centuries ago, my mother would always check and make sure that I had a hankie in my pocket when I headed off to school. My school mates all carried hankies, which we called – we were the cool guys- “snot rags.”

But in the recent past the practice of carrying a hankie has fallen by the wayside in this country. People sneeze into their hands (yuck!), into the open air, or futilely try to repress the sneeze, not realizing that this back pressure eventually causes brain damage, which

in turn explains …

I would like to suggest that the authorities and trend setters start to encourage people to carry a hankie, or even two, if you are prone to sneezing. Let’s make sneezing into your sleeve a thing of the past, like spitting in a restaurant or bar.

Let’s all carry hankies and Kleenexes and keep our noses and sleeves clean.

If we can convince men that you need four blades in a razor in order to shave properly, and if we can convince mature women that ripped and torn jeans are haute couture, then we can convince people that hankies are the hygienic, sanitary and more elegant way to go.

Frank Buonanno

Please, wear a mask when in public and indoors Editor: Re: To mask or not to mask, community comment, Aug. 20 We have been told many times by health authorities that masks do not protect the wearer – they protect people around them from the wearer’s exhalations.

You say that wearing a mask “gives people a sense of comfort and

security.” If that is true, then they are not listening to the experts. If you chose to not wear a mask thinking you are only exercising your “rights” and accepting some level of personal risk, you are mistaken. You are imposing a risk on all those around you and I would also react with a scowl.

By not wearing a mask in grocery stores and

banks, you are saying to those you encounter that you don’t care about their welfare. I don’t like a mask either, primarily because it invariably tangles with my hearing aids when I try to take it off, but I wear one when I’m inside and in public because we are told that, until we have a vaccine, mask wearing is one of the strongest deterrents

to the spread of corona virus, a cause everyone should support.

Perhaps you have been tested and found negative. You should understand that your test was nothing more than a ‘snapshot’ of your health at the moment of the test.

If you find later that it was negative that is no guarantee that you did not become infected in

the days or even hours after your test. A report of a negative test is only good until your next exposure.

I urge you to think about the seniors you may know and care about, be they parents, grandparents or someone you are just passing in the grocery store.

For seniors, particularly those with underly-

ing medical conditions, any infection is probably fatal. Think about that – fatal. I’m sure you would not want to be the cause of some senior becoming infected, so please, wear a mask when in public and indoors.

Then perhaps you could use your platform to encourage other millennials to do the same.

Delta wants to see COVID-19 numbers 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 City of Delta is again asking the province and health authorities to provide municipal-specific COVID-19 numbers.

In a recent letter to Premier John Horgan, Mayor George Harvie wrote that while Delta is working hard to ensure that provincial guidelines are followed, and collectively doing everything possible to mitigate the effects of the pandemic within the community, local data is needed.

“We strongly believe that COVID-19 data for the City of Delta, including case numbers, hospitalizations and deaths broken down by age group would help us determine the effectiveness of our local efforts to combat the spread of

the virus. In addition, as we incrementally reopen Delta facilities to the public, this data would help us better ensure we are taking all appropriate measures to respond to the level of risk specific to our community. I am aware of a number of jurisdictions, including Washington Sate, where this data is available at a community level,” Harvie wrote.

Harvie also noted that Delta council supports a request from the City of New Westminster for the province and federal governments to collect disaggregated COVID19 data, including race, socioeconomic class and disability.

He added such data is critical to understand the impact of the pandemic in communities and to make informed decisions

Over 20 years teaCHing WitH PassiOn and integrity

on actions necessary to support residents and, in particular, any disproportionality impacted groups.

Health regions recently set up websites that list places that have had potential community exposures.

The city is also asking the province to continue to protect local governments from liability from the potential transmission of COVID-19 at municipal facilities.

In another letter to Horgan, Harvie noted that while a ministerial order provides protection against liability for 45 days following the conclusion of the provincial state of emergency, Delta is asking that liability protection for municipalities extends until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

BEVErLY At 69 years old, I am stronger than ever before and am in terrific physical condition. I attribute this solely to my involvement and commitment to Pilates at TWC. It has given me boundless energy and the ability to do physical exercising that the majority of people my age are unable to do. It has kept my body young and fit.

TWC is not just “a business”. It is a group of wonderful people who are fully committed to making a difference in the lives of everyone who is fully committed to participating in all they have to offer. They sincerely change lives for the better, in all aspects.

My own life never feels complete without my time each week at TWC. And my body and mind are happier and healthier because of their commitment and support.

We appreciate the smaller more intimate setting, that functions well for both individual and group sessions. Instructors are well qualified, knowledge experts on how the body works and the practice of Pilates.

A friendly and comfortable setting where staff know their clients and tailor their instruction/ corrections to ensure that the client’s workout is maximized and injury is prevented.

Former student awarded damages in decades old assault case SANDOR GYARMATI

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

A feud between two Delta Secondary school male students over a decade ago has resulted in the father of one having to pay damages for orchestrating an assault of the other.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge last week awarded damages amounting to $479,376.88 to the one former student, now 26, for damages that were the result of the April 15, 2009 assault which occurred outside the high school.

Convicted two years later of two counts of assault causing bodily harm for his role in directing the incident, the father of the other student denied liability.

The reasons for judg-

ment in the civil trial notes that while acknowledging the plaintiff was injured as a result of the battery, the father’s defence was that all of the plaintiff’s injuries resolved themselves within a short period of time with no lasting effects.

The father maintained that some of the injuries and symptoms of the plaintiff complained of at trial were not caused by the battery, while others were concocted.

The plaintiff, who was in Grade 9 at the time of the incident, was reportedly assaulted moments after he left the grounds of the high school to walk home.

Acting on the instruction of the defendant, two adult males, one or both wielding telescopic

metal batons, jumped out of a vehicle driven by the defendant, ran after the teen and physically assaulted him.

When they paused upon the father’s instruction, the teen was then physically assaulted by the father’s eldest son.

When another student standing nearby tried to prevent the father from joining in the assault, the father head-butted him, court transcripts note, adding that after his son assaulted the teen, the father walked over to the victim and said words to the effect, “Are we even now?”

The assault on the teen is said to be revenge for a high school spat between the plaintiff and defendant’s other, younger son, also then a student at Delta Secondary, over

a female student.

In one incident, the younger son told the plaintiff that he kissed the plaintiff’s girlfriend.

A short time later, they exchanged verbal insults. Feeling threatened, the plaintiff struck the younger son in the face and, after that, they parted ways and had no further interaction.

The reasons for judgment also notes that while the father admits the plaintiff suffered a concussion, black eyes and fractured nose, he disputes the claim concerning headaches, back pain, and mental health issues and argued causation has not been proven.

The trial seeking damages commenced earlier this year and the defendant was self-represented for part of the trial.

Delta council continues to get correspondence urging the city to compel gas stations to offer full-service for

They wondered if the station can provide fullserve from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for older couples.

VIRTUAL PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Proposed Delta Fresh Cold Storage Warehouse and Processing Facility 64 Avenue & Highway 91 In light of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Delta is hosting a Virtual Public Engagement session with an online question and answer (Q&A) period for this project giving you the opportunity to learn more and provide your feedback to the City.The application is for a cold produce storage and processing facility at 64 Avenue and Highway 91 (see location map below).

municipal requirements or regulations in Delta to compel a service station to provide full-service and that the decision is that of the business owner.

The memo also noted there are some useful online resources to help those with mobility issues including the B.C. Paraplegic Association maintaining a list of full service gas stations.

There’s also the FuelService app, which helps drivers with disabilities or mobility issues find assistance refueling their cars. That service is also available by phone.

Since then, other letters have been sent also asking for full-service and civic staff told council a report would be prepared on the issue.

“Due to my disability, I am unable to fill up my own gas tank. The gas stations in North Delta that I used to use because

they offered full service are no longer available to me. I shouldn’t have to drive out of my drive, polluting the environment at additional cost and effort just to fill up my gas tank. The gradual erosion of full service gas stations greatly affects the independence of PWDs and seniors. I would like to see Delta (and all of BC) strive to be a leader, not fall behind in this regard, and respectfully ask that you request your staff to investigate the disproportionate number of self-serve only gas stations not just in Delta but in B.C.,” wrote Kin Egger, a member of South Fraser Active Living Group, to Delta MP Carla Qualtrough and city council in a most recent correspondence.

Marney and Jeff Smithies, also with the South Fraser Active Living Group, wrote, “Instead of this world

getting more accessible and inclusive it seems to be going backwards. In the past, when we wrote to Shell & other stations regarding these full-service pumps disappearing, they reply ‘please feel free to phone the station ahead of time, or at the pump, and someone will come out to serve you’.

This doesn’t work for many people with disabilities or seniors who rely on full service. It was bad enough that full service was only available from 9am-7pm but now they are saying we can come at any time & they will hop to it??? If the attendant can come out anytime why couldn’t they before?”

A staff response to the latest correspondence notes the report, which contains recommendations, has been prepared and will be discussed at the next regular meeting of council.

Feedback sought on Delta Fresh proposal 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

Delta residents have an opportunity to comment on an application

by Delta Fresh to build a new cold storage warehouse and processing facility in East Ladner.

The city’s community planning and development department is now gathering feedback by holding a virtual public engagement session with an online questionand-answer period until Sept. 4.

The application was submitted this spring to develop the farm property adjacent to the Highway 91 interchange into a major industrial use.

Formerly called Earth

King Investments Inc., the applicant wants to construct a building containing the cold storage warehouse and food processing in a 323,509-squarefoot building, while an administrative building would have an area of 55,972 square feet.

The application requires a Regional Growth Strategy amendment, Official Community Plan amendment, rezoning and other approvals.

Comprising six hectares (15 acres), the site is zoned agricultural but was pulled out of the Agricultural Land Reserve about 30 years ago.

It isn’t being farmed and a number of vehicles can be seen stored at the

rear of the property.

Located at 10555-64th Ave., it’s surrounded by the Sunshine Woods golf course across the street, farm properties in the ALR as well as Burns Bog. It was almost a decade ago that a plan by Earth King Investments was pitched to develop the property into a housing complex for seniors. At the time, the site was described as not adequate for farming.

That application was discussed at the city advisory committee level but eventually shot down.

More information about the cold storage plan can be found at the City of Delta’s website or community planning and development department.

THIS (Tsawwassen Harmony Initiative Society) recently hosted a successful roundtable discussion and community forum at Harris Barn.

The forum brought together select community representatives comprised of concerned citizens, youth, local leaders, First Nations elders, and government officials and was moderated by Simi Sara.

THIS was started by local residents Warren Dean Flandez, Geeta Schallig, NaRai Dawn Sherritt and Michael Soltis with the mandate to restore harmony through arts, culture and community by placing a positive value on what makes each of us unique and celebrating our commonalities.

‘THIS’ is an initiative driven collective that creates platforms focused on community restoration at a humanitarian level.

With a common goal of bringing people together through arts and culture, the team at THIS is dedicated to providing meaningful experiences that encourage community engagement and immersive learning opportunities through social campaigns and community.

“We decided that the environment we wanted to create was safety, vulnerability, calm, neutral, kindness – just a safe place to speak, so we decided on a circle because it symbolizes unity, it allows you to see people and connect with each other,” said Schallig.

“Having the mayor sit in the circle with a student from SDSS, and an online moderator, it really lent itself to ensure there was no hierarchy.”

Schallig said having someone like Sara as the moderator gave the forum a high level of credibility.

“She felt compelled to do this,” said Flandez, adding that they were grateful that she chose to moderate. “We did have some people who were invited to participate, but chose not to. We had some empty chairs within the circle, but we left them empty on purpose.

We wanted to symbolize that you have a space and are welcome. We are all in different places looking to get to the same place.”

The forum was 90-minutes and was well attended online with lots of engagement, said the organizers.

“There was a strong focus around the school board and what they are doing,” said Flandez.

“There was definitely some gaps there, where there was silence and that silence shows us that there is so much work left to be done. It was all about stripping it down to a human level where we

could talk face-to-face.”

THIS expects to roll out more ideas and plans in the coming weeks and months to continue to engage with the community, support other organizations and to continue to have an open dialogue around issues of racism and other social issues in the community.

“Everyone who was there I think had some anxiety coming in, which is why we went with this speaking circle concept,” added Flandez.

“Afterwards everyone stuck around and just talked and engaged, made connections with people who they would never have connected with online or in another way, so for us, that was a major win.

“You talk about impact, measurable goals, for us all we did is bring 18 people together who probably would never have been together under any other circumstance.”

New washrooms coming to Delview, Chalmers parks ing assessment, which have identified immediate priorities.

The assessment will be complete by the end of

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

Delview and Chalmers parks in North Delta will have new washroom facilities in the near future.

At its Aug. 10 meeting, Delta council approved $800,000 to be allocated to construct a replacement washroom at Delview Park and a new washroom at Chalmers Park.

Delta’s initial 2020 financial plane contained funding for the washroom placement and new washroom facility, as well as pickleball courts at Chalmers Park, but with the onset of COVID-19, a new financial plan was developed. Construction was deferred, however, design funds for both projects were retained.

“COVID-19 has increased the usage of parks significantly,” said a staff report. “Public washrooms are used more frequently not only

The Delview Park washroom is currently closed and portable facilities have been placed on site as an interim measure.

by park patrons, but also by service personnel who are on the road and have restricted access to washrooms elsewhere.

Due to its condition, the Delview Park washroom is currently closed and portable facilities have been placed on site as an interim measure.”

At Chalmers Park, the pickleball courts will be complete at the end of August. Once open, demand for washrooms will be greater. Currently there is only a portable

washroom at Chalmers Park.

Since the revised budget was prepared, staff have drafted a standard washroom plan that can be applied at many locations.

Gunderson Park’s washroom has been assesses to be in a similar condition to that of Delview Park and should also be replaced as soon as possible, said the staff report.

Further work is being done on this design as

Parks director Ken Kuntz told council that several of Delta’s public washrooms in parks are approximately 50 years old, do not have ventilation systems that are required by today’s building code and many are not accessible for those with mobility limitations.

He said staff has recently completed a preliminary washroom maintenance and build-

The federal government’s Emergency Community Support Fund and Delta Foundation awarded a $5,055 grant to Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland Study Buddy program.

The funds will help the organization match at-risk girls with supportive mentors.

The Study Buddy program is a weekly, one-to-one mentoring relationship that focuses on school work. For a minimum of six months, Study Buddies meet for one hour a week outside of school to work on school subjects and study skills.

Little Study Buddies (ages seven to 17) not only improve their academics but also report a higher level of self-esteem.

Connection matters now more than ever.

With social distancing practices enforcing closure of schools in March and temporary holds for in-person Big Sisters matches, isolation is a real risk on the mental health of the already vulnerable youth Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland serves.

“Trauma falls hardest on our youth,” said Hanne Madsen, executive director for Big Sisters of BC Lower

Mainland. “This pandemic will have a longlasting impact on their mental, physical and economic health.

“The connection our youth have with their Big Sister is more important now than ever before to mitigate the risk factors and help them navigate this new normal. With over 135 girls on our waitlist, we are striving to ensure that we can help all of them reach their potential.”

Behind every amazing student is a family that helps them reach the summit. This year the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is featuring its scholarship winners with their families.

Nicola Bancroft is the winner of the prestigious William Kushnir scholarship.

Bancroft balanced academics, sports -- competing in field hockey and volleyball -- and

volunteer leadership during her high school years at SDSS, excelling in all areas.

She earned a double Dogwood diploma graduating in the French immersion program and will be heading to UBC to study math and sciences with a focus on cellular, anatomical and physiological sciences. She has her eye on medical school.

Janeva Shahi is the winner of the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen scholarship.

Shahi has done it all: Principal’s List, Honour Roll, G-Club,

Government of Canada Service recognition, along with athletic achievements for soccer. She is graduating from SDSS with a double Dogwood in French immersion.

In the fall, Shahi will be attending McGill University and plans to pursue her interests in health sciences and humanities, studying them concurrently, in both English and French.

She hopes to work as a population health analyst for the United Nations and continue to pursue humanitarian work.

Mayor Harvie launches photo contest for kids Delta Mayor George Harvie has launched a new Activities at Home Photo Contest to encourage Delta kids aged five to 15 to stay active and creative by taking part in activities and hobbies at home during COVID-19.

Whether it’s an art project, gardening, cooking/baking, puzzles, games, virtual story-time or sports, Harvie is asking Delta children and youth to take a photo showing their activity, along with a contest waiver form, as part of their submission.

Parental supervision and assistance is welcome to help kids photograph their activities, especially for young ones. A selfie of your activity is also welcome.

“Kids continue to

inspire and impress me with their creativity and resilience during this challenging time,” said Harvie. “This contest provides an opportunity for local children and youth to showcase their favourite activity or hobby at home with a photo, hopefully inspiring others to do so. I look forward to featuring entries on my social media.”

Complete the contest waiver form and submit one photo showcasing your favourite activity at home using the city’s new Let’s Talk Delta online engagement platform at: https://letstalk. delta.ca/mayorphotocontest.

Contest entry deadline is Sept. 14. Winners will be announced by Harvie

in October.

At the end of the photo contest submission period, the public will be asked to vote on their favourite photo submissions on the contest page at: https://letstalk.delta. ca/mayorphotocontest.

Photos with the most votes will be the designated winners for each age group.

Three winners will be selected from the five to 11 age group, along with three winners from the 12 to 15 age group, for a total of six winners/ prizes. Each winner will be awarded a gift card ($100, $75 and $50 denominations) from a local business of their choice as part of the city’s #BuyLocalDelta initiative.

Beaver pond leveller to reduce Cougar Creek flooding in Delta Nature Reserve Delta Nature Reserve walkers and cyclists may notice a strange new contraption in Lower Cougar Creek, alongside the trail between the second and third boardwalk entrances.

It’s called a beaver pond leveller, and it’s a joint pilot project of Cougar Creek Streamkeepers, Burns Bog Conservation Society, City of Delta, EBB Consulting and Pacific Salmon Foundation.

Hopefully the beavers won’t notice the contraption, but will happily continue building their dam, unaware that the leveller limits their pond to a safe height that doesn’t flood the trail.

The pond leveller consists of a long flexible pipe through the beaver dam, with a cage

at the upstream end to prevent beavers from blocking the pipe intake.

The pipe invert (level of the bottom of the pipe) as it passes through the beaver dam sets a limit on how high the water level in the beaver’s pond can become, before it overflows into the pipe and exits downstream of the dam.

The corrugated pipe interior makes upstream swimming easier for adult salmon as they head to Cougar Creek’s best spawning grounds.

Though beavers are a nuisance, with their tree-cutting and dambuilding, they are also a keystone species for healthy wetlands and salmon streams.

A pond leveller is not maintenance-free, but it’s hoped this one will reduce the amount of

effort the City of Delta has to spend on dismantling beaver dams to prevent flooding.

This is not to say that trail flooding has been eliminated. The low level of the trail itself, combined with large

volumes of storm water runoff piped directly into the creek during rainy weather, guarantee that flooding will still occur.

The good news is that, over the coming years, Metro Vancouver will be upgrading the trail to

regional greenway standards. As well, the City of Delta continues its efforts to reduce storm water runoff at its source by diverting it into landscaping (rain gardens) instead of piping it into the creek.

Not only is the natural floodplain a safety-valve for protecting built areas from floodwaters, it’s also a vibrant and healthy wetland habitat that nurtures fish, amphibians, birds and – yes -- those industrious beavers.

Drew set to release 4th book

Roxi the Rescue Dog is set for another adventure.

South Delta author Carolyn Drew is getting set to release the fourth book in her humane education children’s book series featuring Roxi the Rescue Dog. Her series aims at reducing animal cruelty through children’s books with age-appropriate content and illustrations.

Drew said she is especially excited to launch this book, as all the watercolour images have been illustrated by her daughter, Carly Drew (@ CarlyDrewDesign).

Roxi the Rescue Dog Helps the Tigers will launch on Amazon on Sept. 1 and will be available to order from local bookstores by midOctober.

Drew is offering a special “Back to School” project for educators of primary students (K-3) interested in producing a Roxi the Rescue Dog Animal Compassion Book with their class.

“This is a super fun way for students to research an animal issue and choose which animal their class wants Roxi to help next,” said Drew. “The most exciting part is that they get to see their finished work as an actual published book.”

The project incorporates a variety of learning outcomes with the option of remote or in class work. Interested teachers can email the author with the subject line: Animal Compassion Book.

Drew can be contacted at RoxiBooks@ gmail.com and followed on Instagram @roxi.the. rescue.dog.books.

Dave Doroghy’s work praised by New York Times, wins national award IAN JACQUES

ijacques@delta-optimist.com

The buzz continues for a bee memoir released in April by Ladner author Dave Doroghy.

Show Me The Honey: Adventures of an Accidental Apiarist is a self-deprecating account of one fledgling beekeeper’s misadventures. With wit and warning in equal measure, this informative, refreshingly honest narrative will resonate with any new beekeeper.

In recent weeks, the book received a thoughtfully positive review in the New York Times as well, was announced as the winner of the Best Book on Honey in Canada in the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Having won in Canada, Show Me the Honey will now continue to compete in their categories against winners from other countries in the Gourmand Best in World competition. Results from that competition will be announced in May 2021.

Doroghy said he is thrilled with the Times review and the Gourmand World Cookbook award.

“The New York Times review has really shot the book up in the Amazon ratings, resulted in book sales, given the book credibility,” he said. “I talked with the publisher and it is really hard to get books reviewed in the New York Times. They get hundreds and are very selective, so this is great.

“The award is absolutely fantastic, don’t get me wrong, but if I was to compare the two, what is more important to me is the reach of the New York Times and the credibility really stands out as a writers’ point of view.”

Doroghy also co-authored 111 Places in Vancouver That You Must Not Miss, which the Optimist also previewed earlier this year.

Doroghy became an apiarist when his sister gifted him 15,000 honey bees for Christmas —a hive that had recently produced 100 pounds of award-winning honey thanks to its unique location on the deck of Doroghy’s Ladner float home.

In an effort to continue producing delicious honey, he spent the next two years learning everything he needed to know to keep that beehive alive: he attended a beekeeping conference, joined a bee club, and even went to bee school.

Doroghy found that keeping bees was a fascinating, yet frustrating hobby.

He sustained multiple stings, wasps attacked his hive, and he fought an ongoing battle with killer varroa mites. He even lost his queen— twice!

In Show Me The Honey, he recounts his

Ladner author Dave Doroghy’s bee memoir has received positive reviews and national awards. It was released in April. often tension-filled misadventures in beekeeping with self-deprecating humour.

Whether it’s the impending chaos of transferring tens of thousands of insects to an outyard, the horror of discovering bees on the inside of his beekeeping suit, or just wondering if he will end up with even an ounce of honey for all his efforts, Doroghy shares the joy, the surprises, and the less-acknowledged financial sting of keeping bees.

Show Me The Honey, was released April 28 by Touchwood Editions.

Doroghy said it can be a challenge releasing a book at the best of times, but during a pandemic it’s even more challenging.

“I always look on the bright side…people have more time to read and can order on-line,” he said. “This is a project that took me two and a half years to write. I wrote almost all of it at Stir Coffeehouse in Ladner. I’d go to Stir every morning and sit

in the corner and hammered it out.

“I finally finished it, found a publisher and here we are.”

Doroghy said even though some of his promotional plans have changed due to COVID-19, he has received great support locally, especially from Black Bond Books in Ladner.

“When you do local events like books signings you sell lots of books, but the power of the New York Times and Amazon is more global, so I’m getting people buying the book all over the world,” he said.

“The pandemic just threw water on our plans, but when one door closes another opens. I will say all of the local buzz, I will do that later this year or next year.

“But I will say, locally, I posted on Facebook and Holly, from Black Bond, is just lovely and she is so in-tune to local authors and her support, is just great to have. She has been a huge supporter.”

I had the privilege last weekend of taking my grandkids to Cadboro Bay in Victoria and watch them play on the Cadborobayasaurus that I played on when I was a little boy.

Their excitement as they climbed and played was drumming up great memories of my own. As I posted a pic on social media and waxed nostalgic I realized just how powerfully my history was at work within me.

In that moment it was a very positive impact.

Unfortunately, my life is at times shaped by a history that is not so pleasant: mistakes I have made, bad habits formed in my youth, negative experiences foisted upon me, etc. Thoughts and feelings arise that I desperately wish would just go away.

Our past - both good

and bad - are impacting our present and forging our future. Furthermore the harsh reality of history is it cannot be undone.

But there is another law at work in me. One that is also powerfully shaping my life.

Like Macbeth of Shakespeare fame, I have tried and tried and tried to rub the stains of many

sins out of my life, but to no avail. Yet just one touch from Jesus and I was made white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). It is a forgiveness and a healing rooted in the historical action of Jesus being born into humanity, living a sinless life, dying as a substitute and then rising again from the dead to proclaim victory over the darkness. Now I live free. I haven’t forgotten my past, but it no longer holds the power over me it once did.

I am being renewed.

If you are struggling to find joy in the moment and are finding that hurts from the past are still shaping your today, then I encourage you to pray to Jesus and ask him to lead you into healing.

With him comes fullness of joy for today and forevermore.

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

TALK courses for seniors move online due to COVID-19

Third Age Learning at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (TALK) will be offering online courses for the 50-plus age group in Fall 2020.

TALK is a volunteerrun organization that has offered courses in partnership with KPU for more than 20 years.

Created by former KPU faculty member Joanne Cunningham, the courses are a part of lifelong learning, ideal for retirees who want to continue learning. Course fees are kept low by inviting KPU professors and community professionals to volunteer their time.

TALK membership usually ranges up to 400

members. Due to the impact of COVID-19, TALK courses were cancelled for Spring 2020 but now those courses will be online via Zoom for the upcoming semester.

“We are delighted that almost all of our fall presenters and over 75 per cent of our members were willing to try this new way of taking courses,” says Robin Heath, TALK chair.

Heath says these courses give seniors a way to connect with each other in a learning environment.

“There are many seniors facing shut-in realities and having an opportunity to stay connected

with their community and to continue participating in relevant online courses will have a positive impact on their lives.”

This fall, TALK’s course offerings will include the Dark Web, Freedom of the Press, Tax Considerations for Seniors, The Arches of Chinatown and much more. The full list of courses can be found here.

There will be two free Zoom webinar practice sessions on Sept. 15 and 16 to help participants learn to use the platform before delving into the courses.

Registration is open in early September, with the first class on Sept. 22.

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

Earthwise’s Garden Buddies cultivates lasting friendships When Catherine Bourget answered an ad to become an Earthwise Garden Buddy, she had no idea how much of an impact that simple action would have on her life.

“I had heard about the program because a lady down my street had someone coming in to help her with her garden.

I thought, what an amazing idea.”

An avid gardener,

Bourget says she could sympathize with how overwhelming simple gardening tasks could be for seniors who love to garden but aren’t quite able to tackle everything on their own.

Earthwise Garden Buddies is a gardening together program that reaches out to seniors who live at home and would like to continue gardening for health and

enjoyment. Volunteers are paired up with seniors, and together they work on new or existing gardening projects at the senior’s home, bond over a common interest and enjoy each other’s company.

Garden Buddies aims to establish a relationship of trust, knowledge sharing and support as the mentor and the senior collaborate their skills. It can also be an opportunity for real friendships to develop, as was the case for Bourget, whose buddy lives just down the road.

“Not only did we bond over our shared love for gardening and Earthwise,” explains Bourget, “but we have become fast friends. Our friendship has evolved into bringing my children

to her garden for tea together with her grandchildren and to attending music events together.

I believe she and I will be close friends forever and I thank Earthwise for bringing us together.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has been an especially difficult time for seniors, many of whom are isolated at home, unable to visit with family and friends. In response, Earthwise adapted the Garden Buddies program to reach out to seniors to provide connection and companionship over the phone.

As restrictions are gradually being eased, there will soon be opportunity for occasional garden visits once again, with proper physical distancing and safety proto-

Earthwise is looking to connect with new Garden Buddy mentors who would like to help support the seniors in the community and make new friends along the way.

Earthwise will train new mentors in the necessary skills through several free workshops.

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

Healthy eating options for seniors “Let food be thy medicine” is a quote attributed to Hippocrates, the ancient scholar considered to be the father of modern medicine. The saying relates to the notion that what people put in their bodies can heal and/or prevent certain conditions.

For seniors with medicine cabinets full of overthe-counter and prescription medications, the idea of relying predominantly on food to promote optimal health may be tempting, and various foods can be particularly useful to the 50-and-over demographic.

According to the World Health Organization, poor diet is a major contributor to many of the diseases that affect older

people.

Poor diet has been connected to the development of diabetes, and degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis also may be linked to the foods ones eat.

Eating a variety of foods can provide all of the nutrients people need to stay healthy as they get older. Certain foods may be particularly helpful.

Brain-friendly foods: Foods such as avocado, leafy vegetables, sunflower seeds, blueberries, and salmon are good sources of vitamin E, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that may help ward off dementias like Alzheimer’s disease.

Anti-inflammatory foods: Foods rich in

omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent inflammation that can cause cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. Foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, should be consumed at least twice per week.

Fruits and vegetables: Fresh, canned or frozen produce tend to be high in micronutrients, including a variety of important vitamins that are essential for all components of health like dark green vegetables, such as leafy greens or broccoli, and orange vegetables, such as carrots and sweet potatoes.

Energy-boosters: Choose whole grains that can provide sustained energy by way of healthy carbohydrates over pro-

cessed grains.

Bone-friendly foods: Calcium-rich foods, such as milk, yogurt and cheese, can prevent calcium from being leached from the bones, which contributes to conditions like osteoporosis.

High-iron foods: Without enough iron in the body, a person may feel tired and lethargic from a reduced production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. A lack of oxygen in body tissues from anemia can be serious, says the National Council for Aging Care. Tofu, spinach, lentils, pumpkin seeds, and fortified breads and cereals are high in iron.

Smart food choices can help seniors live long and healthy lives.

Paxtonout withinjury 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

Ladner’s James Paxton is hoping his latest injury doesn’t derail his season.

The New York Yankees pitcher was placed on the 10-day injured list late last week with an injury to his forearm.

Paxton will not throw for 14 days, but expects to be back late in the season and be ready for the postseason.

“After my warm up pitches going into the fifth inning it just kind of started to get tighter and tighter as the inning wore on,” said Paxton during a weekend media session.

“At first when it happened I was thinking this can’t be happening, and it’s just a little tight, but I can work it out as the inning goes on. When I came out of the game and saw the trainers, we thought it would be a good idea to get an MRI. Considering the circumstances, I got very luck with the injury I do have.

It should be a short-term thing.”

“My goal is to make it back before the end of the season and hopefully get a few starts in before the start of the post-season,” he said.

Tsawwassen’s Jace and Amanda Minni have headed this week to Gonzaga and Oregon State universities respectively.

Jace Minni joins his sister Amanda by taking his golf career to NCAA level MARK BOOTH

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

Jace Minni didn’t have to look far for advice on what to expect in his freshman year at an American school.

The 18-year-old golf standout heads for Gonzaga University this week where he will be dropped off by his sister Amanda. She will then drive back west to Corvallis for her fourth year at Oregon State University. The Tsawwassen siblings both earned scholarships at their respective schools.

“I would be lost without her,” smiled Jace.

“She knows so much about all the stuff I’m going through because she has done it and did a really good job with it too. The stuff like getting me into the school and getting me organized has helped a ton.”

COVID-19 means it won’t be a typical fall season for either of them.

Amanda will be tested upon her arrival at Corvallis. She will then go into quarantine and await her results. Regular testing will follow as she uses the team’s practice and

workout facilities in the weeks ahead. There will be no tournaments this fall and her coach’s involvement is still to be determined under strict NCAA guidelines for what is considered “out-of-season” training. All her classes will be online.

It’s a similar scenario for Jace although Gonzaga being a smaller school means he will be able to attend two of his classes.

As a member of Golf Canada’s national junior team, an exciting 2020 itinerary, which included trips to Japan, Florida and California was wiped out by the pandemic.

Instead he spent plenty of time playing locally on the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT) and made the cut on the MacKenzie Tour’s Bear Mountain stop earlier this month.

“It was tough not being able do that stuff but I was able to make the most of it. It was good to get in a couple of tournaments and I was able to accomplish everything I wanted to do,” he said.

Amanda played in just one tournament this summer but certainly made a lasting impression.

She fired rounds of 68-69 to not only capture the women’s division at the VGT’s Golden Eagle but finish second overall including the men’s pro division.

“I think the lack of (competitive tournaments) gave me a little more relaxed summer in that sense,” she said. “My golf game has improved honestly. I have been playing a lot with Jace and his buddies. Doing little money matches and stuff which has helped me.”

She still has three years of eligibility remaining after wrist surgery to repair a broken scaphoid bone resulted in her being sidelined for nine months and being red shirted her sophomore year. Another year was gained when COVID-19 wiped out the 2020 spring season. She will make good use of the additional time in school.

“I am getting my undergraduate degree in business management next March then start my masters in business supply and logistics management in my fifth year. A certificate masters in financial and marketing is what I’m planning for my sixth year,” she said.

The Delta Ice Hawks are confident they will be ready for the start of the Pacific Junior Hockey League whenever that may be.

The junior “B” hockey club’s main training camp will take place at Tilbury Ice this weekend. That comes on the heels of regular skating sessions at Tilbury and Langley over the last six weeks. COVID-19 safety measures will limit the camp to just 16 skaters and two goalies. Fortunately, the roster only has a few spots in question with the bulk of last year’s team poised to return.

“This is the one year we can afford not to have a big prospects pool and a traditional camp. We already know we have a very mature team with only a few guys to add,” explained GM and head coach Steve Robinson. “We don’t feel a lot of pressure to have a prospects camp and we even invited all the prospects (to our skating sessions) at different times.”

The PJHL announced a tentative start date of Sept. 29 to play its entire

B.C. Hockey League earlier announced December start dates, however the PJHL feels it’s in a much safer situation with less travel involved.

The schedule will be adjusted if a late

September launch isn’t realized.

“We are taking it a day at a time and we are preparing like that’s what is going to happen. I still have my own personal doubts on how we are going to get to that timeline that’s for sure,” continued Robinson. “Everything is still supporting that our league more than any other can get it there.”

The Hawks do have one silver lining in what otherwise has been a forgetful year.

For the first time in recent memory, they will be practising on their regular home ice at the Ladner Leisure Centre.

They can thank the City of Delta’s decision to have user groups stay at one facility for their entire season rather than risk potential cross pollinating.

“When you talk about anything good in 2020 there is only thing I can think of,” chuckled Robinson. We maybe had one or two skates (at the LLC) last season).

“Now on Sunday nights they can just leave their gear in the dressing room for Tuesday (home games). It’s something we have never been able to offer the players before.”

One of their favorite family vacation spots was their home in Maui; they shared many happy times there!!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ernest (Ernie) Austin, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great−grandfather, uncle, cousin, and dear friend to many. Ernie passed away on August 14 after a long battle with cancer, which he fought to the bitter end. Born in England, Ernie immigrated to Canada in 1969 with his wife and two children, making Delta, BC, his place of home for the past 41 years.

He will be remembered for his quick wit, countless jokes, and zest for life. Ernie lived a full life, retiring at the age of 60 but never stopped working or volunteering, as well as taking countless holidays back home to England. His family was particularly proud of his involvement and volunteer work with the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, as well as the 2012 Olympics in England.

With all of his accomplishments, his greatest joy in life came from his grandchildren and great−grandchildren who refer to him dearly as Papa.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at the Irene Thomas Hospice for their endless support, kindness, and compassion.

Forever in our thoughts and hearts, we love you to the moon and back, Papa!

It is with our hearts broken that we announce the passing of Greg from an unexpected, fatal heart attack. Greg is survived by his loving wife Heather and his two beautiful daughters Jessica and Danielle. He also leaves behind his loving parents Joan and Mike and his siblings Joanne (David), David (Susan), Tim (Aerin). He will also be missed by his in-laws Dave and Deanne and his many nieces, nephews and friends here and worldwide.

.

FRANKO, Laura Louise With great sadness we announce the passing of Laura Louise Franko on August 16, 2020, after 95 years of excellent health. She is pre-deceased by Bill Franko, her husband of 59 years, and her daughter Cheryl, sister Lily, and brother Walter.

She will be dearly missed by her daughter Gail, her cousins, nieces, nephews, and her family of longtime friends.

Forever in our hearts.

To send condolences and join Laura’s Virtual Celebration of Life, please visit her Delta Funeral Home memorial page: www.deltafuneral.ca

She was predeceased by her loving husband, Commander George Alexander Hope (1995); her sisters, Juanita Clark and Joan Grimsson; and her brother, David McClure. She is survived by her four devoted sons, Jim, Terry, Robin and Alan; five grandsons; three granddaughters; and 14 great−grandchildren.

Inurnment will be at Boundary Bay cemetery in the autumn. A memorial donation to either the SPCA or OWL Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society would be appreciated by the family.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and auntie. Marie José Orr (Matos) was born in Portugal and spent most of her childhood in Quebec before the family settled in Ladner. She died peacefully at home surrounded by family on August 17, 2020. Predeceased by their son Scott, she leaves behind Kevin, her loving husband of 33 years, daughters Kelsea (Dan), Ashley (Kosta), Kaylee and Shelby, grandson Christopher, parents Frank and Leonor, brothers Tony (Sharon) and Joe (Birgit, Zita and Xavier) and numerous nieces and nephews.

Marie was loved by all who were blessed to know her, and she will be dearly and forever missed.

“A mom’s love is superglue love.

It bends, but doesn’t break, stretches, but doesn’t separate and gives but never, ever, lets go.”
