Near record high temperatures last week didn’t stop a winter-themed movie production in Ladner Village as filming of The Christmas Ring took over the Delta police Community Police Station and surrounding area. The two-day shoot continued what has been a trend of holiday movies being shot in Ladner Village in recent years. Other movies that have filmed here include: Christmas Duet, A Joyous Christmas, Christmas in the Air, Miss Christmas and Finding Santa.

One of two residents from KinVillage South Court, that tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, has sadly passed away. KinVillage confirmed the news on Monday afternoon after sharing on Saturday evening that two residents in South Court tested positive for COVID-19. “Sadly, one of these residents died yesterday,” said KinVillage Association’s CEO Donna Ellis in a news release. “This is heartbreaking news for our KinVillage community. Our deepest condolences are with the resident’s family and friends. We share their sorrow though not their deep loss.” On Sept. 3, a COVID19 outbreak was declared in KinVillage South Court after one staff member tested positive. The infected staff mem-

ber remains isolated at home. Ellis said that as of Monday morning, there are no new COVID-19 positive cases in South Court. She said KinVillage does, however, have a large volume of outstanding test results for residents and staff who were swabbed on the weekend. These swabs were taken at the direction of Fraser Health as a precautionary measure after the two residents tested positive on Saturday. A number of restrictive measures including visits, will remain in place at South Court for the duration of the outbreak. “We understand the negative impacts these restrictions have on our residents and their families,” said Ellis. “The measures are however necessary given the highly contagious nature of COVID-19 and consequences that can be deadly. We are grate-

ful for the dedication and skills of our staff, augmented by additional expertise and significant resources being provided by Fraser Health. Fraser Health specialists are onsite daily assessing with KinVillage management the evolving situation, reviewing outbreak measures, conducting audits, and providing guidance and support to staff.” KinVillage says they will continue to provide information and regular updates, particularly to those most directly impacted by this outbreak. “We thank the public for their patience and continued support as we manage this situation and focus on our priority of ensuring the safety of those we serve as well as our staff,” added Ellis. KinVillage’s other residences, West Court/ Care Home, North Court and Vidal Court, are not affected by the outbreak in South Court.

Tributes pour in for Doug Husband Former mayor, consummate volunteer passes after lengthy illness SANDOR GYARMATI s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

He was always a class act. That’s just one description about Doug Husband this week as the tributes continue for the former Delta mayor who passed away Sunday after a lengthy illness. A descendant of the Pybus pioneering family, Husband, 82, was elected five times to Delta council, including one term as mayor from 1987 to 1990. Mayor George Harvie, at council this week, noted Husband, after leaving civic politics, continued his efforts to preserve Delta’s heritage through decades of active volunteering. His service in support of arts, fishing and farming heritage has helped ensure the preservation and promotion of Delta’s past for future generations. “On behalf of council and all citizens of Delta, I want to acknowledge Mr. Husband’s decades of service and lifelong commitment to this community. Doug’s hard work, advocacy, and love for this community has helped influence and shape Delta into the incredible City that it is today. Thank you Doug, your contributions to Delta will always be remembered,” said Harvie. On Monday afternoon flags at all Delta facilities were lowered to half-mast for the remainder of the week. Coun. Lois Jackson, who served on council with Husband, said, “He advanced many things in this community which are lost in the annals of time, I guess, but he knew and I knew the things he had accomplished.”

She went on to say, “He was a real gentleman. We shared a lot of causes and a lot of agendas together and it was a pleasure to serve together with him.” Also for a time serving on council with Husband, Coun. Bruce McDonald said they came to a good understanding of how best to work together for the benefit of Delta, despite being in rival political parties, and they became good friends. “He was always there for Delta, he was always involved… He was just a class act, he really was. That has nothing to do with the fact he had 24 suits in the closest. He was an elegant man in all respects, and we’re going to miss him,” said McDonald. Noting Husband was always a supporter of the local farming community, Delta South MLA Ian Paton told the Optimist that Husband was always highly respected for the way he conducted himself and treated others. “He was such a class act, always. He was always a real gentleman and I never heard him speak poorly of anyone. He was very encouraging to me when I was thinking about getting into politics and since he got out of politics he was always such a good guy for the community with his volunteering and just being there to help anyone,” said Paton. Many also commented on the story of Husband’s passing on the Optimist’s Facebook page, including former Delta police Chief Jim Cessford who wrote, “Doug was a good friend and mentor. We had tea together a couple of weeks ago and I’m so glad I had the opportunity. Deepest condolences to Maureen and the rest of the

Former Delta mayor, community leader, volunteer, author and Optimist columnist Doug Husband, passed away this week after a lengthy illness. family.” School board chair Val Windsor wrote, “Doug Husband’s legacy to Delta will long be remembered. My sympathy to his family.” Husband was a long serving community volunteer for many local organizations and, until recently, still a member of the Delta Heritage Society and director of the Rotary Club of Ladner. Husband was named Delta Citizen of the Year in 2019. In 2002, he was the recipient of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for Community Service. In the past year, he also spearheaded a fundraising campaign to secure an original oil canvas of Port Guichon, circa 1903 painted by world-renowned marine artist John Horton.

The painting was donated last fall to the Delta Museum and Heritage Society. This May, he attended a special ceremony for the soft opening of Delta’s new cultural centre, named the Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre. In 2012, Husband started writing the Community Comment column in the Delta Optimist and turned those columns that he wrote for five years into a book called Community Comments, which was released last year. He was married to wife Maureen, from the Embree pioneer farming family, for 58 years. He also leaves behind two daughters, four grandkids and a great grandson. The family has not released any details yet on a Celebration of Life.

city hall as well as parks, recreation and culture facilities. A report by Mayor George Harvie notes many jurisdictions across Canada have implemented mandatory face mask requirements for indoor public spaces and numerous private businesses have done the same. Other agencies serving the public have also recently introduced mandatory face mask policies, including TransLink, B.C. Transit and B.C. Ferries. “Requiring face masks indoors in City of Delta facilities is a prudent step to continue limiting the spread of COVID-19 in Delta. To this stage of the pandemic, Delta’s efforts, in conjunction with those across the region and around the province, have proven successful in limiting the spread of the virus. As the fall and winter months approach, additional precautions are likely necessary to continue to protect the community,” the report notes. Harvie told council it’s important for Delta to demonstrate leadership as COVID-19 cases have moved upward. City manager Sean McGill said he’s spoken to a number of his counterparts from other municipalities who are also leaning toward such a policy. The exception to the

rule includes people with an underlying medical condition or disability that inhibits the ability to wear a mask, people who are unable to place or remove a mask without assistance, young children and those with special needs that inhibit the ability to wear a mask, as well as staff who are working behind a physical barrier or within their own physically separate workspace. Consideration will also be made for certain activities in facilities during which wearing a mask is unfeasible. With registration for fall recreation programs already underway, staff note they are aiming to have the mask requirement become effective on Oct. 1. To ensure staff have the equipment required to safely serve the community, sufficient cloth masks have been purchased and are being distributed, the report notes, adding facility users will be asked to bring their own. Council on Monday also agreed to update the city’s COVID-19 policies and procedures for recreation facilities. All facility lease and permit holders will be required to provide to Delta, prior to their resumption of services, a signed assumption of COVID-19 risk addendum to their facility use agreement.

A COVID-19 case was confirmed at Delta Secondary on the first full day of school Monday. The Delta School District confirmed the positive case in a letter to parents which stated the individual attended DSS on Sept. 11. The person is now self-isolating at home, said Superintendent Doug Sheppard. Sheppard noted they were working with Fraser Health to determine if there is any risk to other members of the school community or if any additional steps are required. Noting that for privacy reasons they can’t give out more information on the infected individual, the school district on Tuesday said Fraser Health initiated contact tracing to identify any individuals that need to self-isolate or self-monitor for symptoms. “We have advised parents that if they do not receive a phone call or letter from Fraser Health, their child should continue to attend school and have also reminded them to continue daily health checks to monitor their child for COVID-19 symptoms. Students and staff must stay home even if they have

Delta approves diversity task force SANDOR GYARMATI

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

Council on Monday agreed to set up a new task force on diversity and inclusion. The Mayor’s Task Force on Diversity, Inclusion, and AntiRacism comes from a recommendation earlier this summer. The task force will include Mayor George Harvie, councillors Alicia Guichon and Dylan Kruger, representation from the community and civic staff. In addition, a consultant will be retained to conduct a review of Delta’s policies and actions taken related to diversity and inclusion and provide a report card with recommendations for improvement.

“Through the new Mayor’s Task Force on Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism and ongoing efforts in these areas, the City of Delta is committed to listening and learning from a broad spectrum of people on the issues of racism and discrimination, while remaining steadfastly committed to promoting diversity at the City of Delta and throughout the community,” a report to council notes. In addition, the Mayor’s Youth Council will be discussing diversity issues and raising new ideas for consideration. The report also notes that the City of Delta “absolutely and unequivocally condemns racism, hate, and discrimination” and that the city “is

Delta’s COVID-19 test site getting busy 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’s testing site is busier than ever as active COVID-19 cases in B.C. are at an all-time high. The Delta Division of Family Practice, in partnership with Fraser Health, established the testing and collection site a few months ago. The site is located at the Delta South Home Health Office at the side of City Hall in Ladner. Mayor George Harvie this week said there’s now daily lineups as long as 50 people waiting to get into the facility. Fraser Health notes COVID-19 testing is recommended for anyone with cold, influenza or COVID-19-like symptoms, even mild ones. If you don’t have symptoms, you do not

require a test unless public health directs you to be tested, according to FHA. If you are unsure whether to seek medical care or get tested, contact your family physician, health care provider, call 8-1-1 or use the BC COVID-19 SelfAssessment Tool. Members of the public may book an appointment for testing through their family doctor, or walk, or drive to the site, and be seen on a firstcome, first-serve basis. For more information call the office at 604-9523851 or call 8-1-1. Meanwhile, the City of Delta is seeking more frequent, updated numbers when it comes to COVID19 cases locally. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control recently released municipal-level

data on how many people had been diagnosed with the disease in their local communities. The data only shows the numbers from January to the end of July among the communities in all the health authorities. It showed Delta had 62 cases during that period. Noting those numbers are out of date, Harvie said a motion will be discussed at the upcoming Metro Vancouver board meeting for the mayors to ask the province for weekly numbers. A concerned Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry on Monday said the number of new cases is placing a heavy strain on public health teams, adding that over 3,000 people are currently under public health monitoring.

Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

ere we are a full week into the new school year - a school year unlike any other with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many parents are concerned what this school year will look like. There is a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. There are many changes inside and outside of the classroom with likely more changes to come. But one thing that has not changed is you cannot speed through a school zone. Sadly, it would appear many have forgotten how to drive through school zones as evident by the complete disregard of traffic laws in the past week. Last Thursday, the Delta police traffic unit was out in force to remind driver’s that school is in session and more and more children will be crossing the street. That means 30 km/hr zones are in effect. Here are some of the highlights or lowlights as it were in this case, provided by DPD: in just one day of enforcement, officers handed out 35 violation tickets, ticketed a driver for being impaired by drugs while driving and also ticketed the driver for speeding. In another case, an officer had just pulled up in a school zone and spotted a speeding driver in his rear view mirror. He didn’t even have a chance to get out his laser gun before he had to leap out to slow down the driver who was simply going way too fast. In another case, one officer had to stop writing a violation ticket in order to wave and slow down other drivers who persisted in speeding through the school zone. Officers also gave dozens upon dozens of verbal warnings. If a child was hit by a vehicle travelling at the speed that those were ticketed for, that child would be dead. Is this how we want to possibly start a new school year, with a tragedy that can be avoided? Please slow down and avoid an unnecessary tragedy.

No clear need to call an election

arlier this week I was doing my rounds at school farms in Delta and one of the classes I work with came out for a walk around the school. Led by the teacher, the grade 2 and 3 students skipped along attempting to social distance as best they could. They were all happy to see me and briefly told me about vegetables they have been eating over the summer and what they would like to do with the food growing on their farm. They were smiling and laughing and generally happy to be outside. It was a surreal experience though. The air was thick with smoke and the smiling faces made me feel sad for them in the moment. The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic, raging fires and political and social unrest in the United States paint a bleak moment in time unlike anything we have ever encountered. Commentators of late have described the combination of so many ills as apocalyptic. Combine all that with our local economic woes, homelessness in Vancouver and elsewhere and affordable housing for young people and

Community Comment MIKE SCHNEIDER

you can see how some people, including me, suffer from periodic depression. I am particularly concerned for people in their 20s and 30s, many of whom share their sense of hopelessness on the airwaves and through social media channels. COVID-19 has certainly hamstrung all levels of government in solving many fundamental societal needs and the future is not as clear as it once was. Despite this gloom and need for strong government, there are rumours of a snap election call by the NDP government. A string of announcements this week would seem to support this. Premier Horgan may attempt to capitalize on his approval rating which has

surged 34 per cent since COVID-19 began. I get his political advantage here but beyond that there is no clear need to call an election, as there are pressing issues that need to be dealt with by government, minority or otherwise. Former Premier Ujjal Dosanjh, when asked if we would call a snap election in this setting said no he would not. The fragile NDP/Green alliance may well be over and newly elected Green leader Sonia Furstenau has said that she and the Greens are against a snap election as is Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson. Additionally, three NDP cabinet ministers have announced that they will not run for reelection. Given that voter turnout will likely be lower than average if this scenario pans out, a snap election seems like a cheap shot for political gain when focus should be directed to solving a few pressing matters that need thoughtful consideration from government.

Education is a gift

Editor: This month parents and teachers face the complex challenge of returning children to a safe and secure environment in schools during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this setback, we are most fortunate to have access to the educational system we have here. Around the world more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Rotarians strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy. They fight for literacy among adults so they can build better lives, build more peace and free themselves from those who control and oppress their communities. Rotary is dedicated to education and literacy because it reduces gender disparity. It also breaks the cycle of modern slavery. Slavery is not a tragedy of the past, as

many of us might think. It is a miserable condition for up to 46 million people worldwide. Rotary trains teachers and provides scholarships to students who have the potential to change their communities. Here in Delta, the Rotary Club of Ladner provides financial support and volunteer hours to educate and improve the health of children in remote, northern villages in the impoverished nation of Laos through the Adopt-A-Village program. The program has resulted in schools being built, equipped and supplied. To enable more children to attend school regularly, the program has expanded to provide water filters to the households to significantly reduce absence from school through illness in drinking local water. The African Ruggedized Educational System (ARES), developed by Rotarians in this region, is a small, rugged server to deal with heat,

dust and power issues and a battery in case of frequent power failures. It has proven to be a great success in bringing the world’s education to children in remote, rural communities of Africa. Where there is limited access to books, paper and writing materials, intermittent power and no access to the internet, ARES is a box with terabytes of updatable memory for education linked by wifi to low cost laptops, to replicate access to the internet. Earlier this year Rotary Club of Ladner joined Rotary Club of Richmond Sunrise to help deliver the ARES system to three schools in remote communities of The Philippines. Back to school is an extraordinary challenge right now, but education and literacy is a gift we can take for granted while we also wish it, and act to provide it, in other parts of our world. Peter Roaf

Editor: The underlying theme in a recent letter regarding traffic enforcement in Tsawwassen by Delta police is troubling.

Based on the comments in the letter it appears that selective traffic enforcement is a policy rather than an aberration; if so, then that may well explain why

the motorists who speed along Ladner Trunk Road between Trenant Square and McDonald’s do so with apparent impunity. Bob Orrick

Don’t mislead to foster agenda Editor: Re: Fatal crash heightens Massey replacement. Many, if not all of us, have lost a loved one whether it be by natural causes, accident or other means, but using such a tragedy to further a political agenda is questionable to say the least. In the article, should it not have said that the George Massey Tunnel be replaced? Not that Massey be replaced. It refers to the dangers of meeting traffic head on, with little division in between, when we still do this on many of our highways and bridge cross-

ings today and have for decades. What about the Patullo and the Lions Gate bridges and the tunnels through the mountains in the interior of B.C.? It talks of old reports that were doctored for the previous government to try and justify the construction of a 10-lane high level bridge and satisfy the wishes of the Vancouver Port Authority to remove the George Massey Tunnel and dredge the Fraser River deeper. It cherry picks the accident reports to make people think that all the accidents that occurred leading up to and from

the George Massey Tunnel all occurred inside the tunnel or because of the tunnel. All due respect to the writer, but one would think that the article is written by or for the former political party that lost the election. There is no question that a new modern tunnel crossing is needed, sooner than later. One that meets all the safety and environmental requirements of today. Let us do this without misleading the public to meet a political agenda. Douglas George Massey

Opinion/letters Hospice has never been faith-based Editor: My letter is a challenge to the recent statement that the Delta Hospice Society has always been a Christiaan’ faith-based institution and therefore should be exempt from “MAID.” When Ms. Ireland began to refer to DHS this way, I shook my head in disbelief. Residing 20 years in Delta this was news to me. Nancy Macey, former executive director met with me and a few members of the Ladner United Church because we had property to develop. Our property was too small and far from the hospital and as was discussed in that meeting by Ms. Macey that locating a hospice beside a church would give the wrong message - that it was faith-based and connected to a Christian church. When the pandemic hit Christian churches and organizations moved

their efforts into caring for people putting aside organizational and financial concerns. This is not what the DHS did. Ms. Ireland and the board used the cover of the pandemic to execute the final moves in their “palace coup” by mailing to members a proposed “Christian constitution” with a ballot and a letter saying “Just vote Yes.” If DHS were a Christian faith-based society from the beginning why the need of this new constitution? Simply put it’s because DHS was not as is being claimed. After pulling off this constitutional administrative miracle they claimed the excuse of administrative burden in a small society for rejecting new members. It seems plausible that using available intelligence they welcomed those who supported the current direction and rejected those who did

not. This end run under the cover of a pandemic is an abuse of power, anti-democratic and a definite lack of trust in God. Mature Christians engage in open process, transparency, and community conversation because they trust God to lead them. Some members do not support MAID but neither do they support the attempt to make DHS a faith-based society. They feel manipulated. We are moving towards a “pyrrhic victory.” This is a “win” that is really a loss because of what is destroyed in the process. The current chair and board may “win” in court, but at what cost? Ironically before the attempt to “Christianize” DHS, people of good heart have worked effectively with persons of all faiths, religions and out looks. Major (Ret’d) the Rev Jim Short MMM CD

Back to school as COVID19 numbers rise in B.C.

MP’s Report

CARLA QUALTROUGH

As the mother of two school kids, I know what it is like for parents as our kids return to school. Much of the traditional excitement has been replaced with worry and uncertainty. Like parents across Delta, and the country, my husband and I had serious conversations about what option would be best for our family. I know many families will keep their kids home for the year or will take a “wait and see” approach. I respect these choices and am grateful we have these options in Delta. We see COVID-19 numbers rising in B.C. and across the country. We hear about people refusing to wear masks, and about parties and gatherings that are causing outbreaks. We listen closely to Dr. Tam and Dr. Henry. My husband and I decided on in-person schooling and took our kids to orientation last Thursday. We held their

hands a little more tightly and nervously chatted with other parents through our masks while socially distancing. It was harder than usual to leave them. The kids gathered on the field and bravely walked into the school with a quick wave, six feet apart from their friends. I am grateful to the Delta School Board, teachers and staff. They are taking extraordinary steps to keep our kids safe. They are nervous and worried, too. They are putting themselves at risk. But they made it easier for us parents last Thursday - and for our children, who came home with smiles on their faces (under their masks) excited for the adventures that the year will bring. This reminds me that despite everything that is different this year, many important things are the same. Our kids will reconnect with their friends – and make new friends. They will be taught by teachers who care about their learning, well-being, and personal growth. They will learn new words and explore big ideas. They will play and laugh. They will jump in puddles in the rain, lose mittens, and forget water bottles. We will remind them of how lucky they are to live in this community, in this country, at this point in history. Throughout this pan-

demic, all levels of government have worked together to keep our communities healthy and safe. The Government of Canada is investing up to $242 million in B.C. through the Safe Return to Class fund to adapt learning spaces, improve air ventilation, increase hand sanitation stations, and purchase personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies. This will go a long way in ensuring our kids are healthy and safe. As Minister of Employment, I know a successful return to school is an important step in economic recovery. Not all sectors are reopening at the same pace and many people are still out of work. We have adjusted our federal support programs and are transitioning people from CERB into EI and creating new recovery benefits for job loss, caregiving and sickness. Which brings me back to the COVID-19 numbers. We are still in a crisis. We crushed the curve before in B.C., and we can do it again. We know what we have to do to keep each other safe. We are all in this together. For my part, I will continue to work hard for Delta and Canada. Please know my team and I are here for you, and ready to do whatever we can to help. I wish you and your family a happy and safe return to school.

waits for the truck at my corner on garbage day. The driver is nurturing and kind in allowing the child to “participate” in his job. I have seen the truck back far into a driveway in order to allow the smaller boys to see the workings of the rig. There are cheers from watching parents as a

child hands him a bag of recycling. After a horn beeping goodbye which usually draws me to the window, I see continuing up the street, the child in deep conversation with the driver, running on ahead, participating in helping do his “job”. What a highlight! Elvira Loades

Outdoor hemp operations angers residents 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

A controversial farm

property in Tsawwassen has federal approval to grow hemp. That’s according to

Feature Carrier 1.5 Year Tsawwassen Carrier

Liam Andersen Sponsored by

Delta city staff who looked into complaints from residents near the farm in the 5700-block of 6th Avenue, formerly referred to as the Guichon property but now owned by a numbered company. The property is immediately east of the Forest by the Bay subdivision and adjacent to the Southlands and Beach Grove Golf Club. Complaints have come to city hall about a hemp crop growing on the farm property, one letter writer describing the smell as “continuous, pervasive, invasive and nauseating.” Although the residents said the production was unlawful, a Delta staff response to council notes Health Canada had issued a licence that

allows the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp on the land. Staff are reviewing the activities at the site. At Delta council on Monday, Mayor George Harvie, wondering how the licence was granted without municipal input, asked staff to prepare a report on having the city serve notice for the farmer leasing the property to cease. A federal government website, explaining regulations and potential uses for industrial hemp, notes fibre from stalks can be used in making paper, textiles, rope or twine and construction materials. Grain from industrial hemp can be used in food products, cosmetics, plastics and fuel.

The city had already imposed a strict new set of zoning conditions for the 18-hectare (45-acre) site, which is zoned agricultural but not in the Agricultural Land Reserve. A special agricultural zone prohibits greenhouses of any size and allows a maximum of one non-residential farm building or structure that’s limited to a floor area of 10,764 square feet. As well, the zone prohibits a number of uses including livestock farming, mushroom growing and composting, maintaining they are potentially incompatible with adjacent land uses. The new zone also limits the owner to just one farm house, restricts outside, overnight vehicle

parking and doesn’t allow subdivision. Much to the ire of nearby residents, the owner, a couple of years ago, indicated a greenhouse complex would be constructed, but the city imposed a stop work order on site clearing because the proper permits weren’t in place. The property at the time was also listed for sale for $23.8 million, with the real estate firm advertising the site as having the potential to be rezoned to residential because it isn’t in the ALR. It sold just a few years earlier for $12.5 million. Residents formed a group called Concerned Citizens of Delta South and lobbied council to take action.

Video catches box spring dumper in the act 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 in-progress crimes and emergencies or 604-9464411 for other assistance. The following are some of the calls Delta police responded to in the previous week:

TSAWWASSEN

• Sept. 8, 12:30 a.m., 0 Block Ferry Causeway: Complainant called to report that she and others were stuck in the vehicle parking lot of Tsawwassen Beach as the gates were closed on them. Dispatch contacted BC Ferries who was responsible for access and they explained that they approached the group of people earlier and asked them to leave as the gates were being secured; the group of people refused to leave. Police attended the area at a later time and noticed the gates unlocked and the vehicles no longer in the area. • Sept. 7, 5:44 p.m., 200 Block 66A Street: Complainant called police to report a drone had been flying over the community of Boundary Bay. He observed the drone flying for approximately 20 minutes. Police followed up with the complainant who advised the drone was no longer in the air and did not know who it belonged to. He called police to understand the rules behind flying a drone. Police advised the guidelines set out by Transport Canada require that the pilot have the following: have the drone registered, drone pilot certificate, fly

below 400 feet and keep a minimum 30 meters away from other bystanders. Police advised him to call back if the drone continued to fly over the neighbourhood. • Sept. 8, 8:41 a.m., 2nd Ave/English Bluff Road: Police received multiple calls regarding mischief in progress. On attendance, police spoke to the complainant who stated that he discovered his truck broken into and his briefcase missing. He then observed the suspect walking down English Bluff Road with the complainant’s briefcase. He confronted the suspect, who returned the briefcase, however, the suspect struck the passenger side mirror of the complainant’s truck causing damage. The suspect was located one block away and arrested for mischief, possession of property obtained by crime, and failure to comply with release order that the suspect was breaching at the time. • Sept. 10, 9:30 p.m., 4949 Canoe Pass Way: Complainant called police stating that a male dumped a box spring mattress at the dumpster in the back of an area store.

The Salt Water Café’s last day of business is Sept. 30 with the plan to re-open in the spring. Brian Calder says he can only hope that will be the case. The Point Roberts Chamber of Commerce director and former Vancouver city councillor has seen the local economy come to a standstill since the U.S./Canada border was closed to non-essential travel back in mid-March. “They have been here forever. That’s five good paying jobs with benefits gone,” said Calder of the pending closure of Banner Bank. “Not only were they a good company to work for but they gave us $1,000 for

our Dollars for Scholars (program) each year and supported the food bank along with other infra-

Port expansion decision delayed to 2021 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 going to take a while longer before we know if a major port expansion gets the goahead for Roberts Bank. The federal government has been considering the terminal application by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, a new three-berth container facility that would be built on a man-made island adjacent to the exiting port. A decision was expected this November, which would have already been an extension due to COVID-19. The port in late August sent a letter to Minister of Environment and Climate Change Jonathan Wilkinson seeking an extension of the deadline for making a decision. The port noted it would allow time to undertake additional consultation with Indigenous groups and other stakeholders, as well as work on mitigation and offsetting plans. The minister responded with a request for additional information on the mitigation plans, as well as asking for updated economic and employment estimates. As a result, the federal timeline to make a decision was paused and the government is not expected to issue its decision this year. A Delta city staff report to council notes that more work needs to be done on the proposed mitigation measures. Mayor George Harvie wrote a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this summer asking that the application be denied. The group Against Port Expansion (APE), meanwhile, has started an online petition to government to reject the project. The petition states the environmental integrity of the Roberts Bank ecosystem must be maintained and that the

Pacific Flyway migration stopover, critical to western sandpipers and millions of other shorebirds, must be protected. A federal review panel submitted its final report to government this spring, noting the project would enable an increase in container terminal capacity on Canada’s west coast, while also resulting in increased employment and business opportunities. However, among the findings, the panel report also notes there would be “significant adverse and cumulative effects on wetlands and wetland functions at Roberts Bank.” The report didn’t have a recommendation either in support or opposition to the project. The port notes early on in the T2 process it launched a comprehensive environmental study program and has plans for minimizing any potential environmental effects. Responding to the review panel’s report, the port stated the findings and recommendations have provided a road map as to how, on top of

LOOK GOOD 2020 SKIN RECOVERY!

While this summer was beneficial for our spiritual healing, our skins may have taken a beating. The Fall and Winter months are the perfect time to re-balance your skin and recover from excessive sun exposure which may show up on your skin as hyper pigmentation and broken blood vessels. The quickest, most effective treatment for these skin conditions is our Elos Plus Photo Rejuvenation. The combined energy sources that Elos Plus offers; Intense Pulse Light or IPL, targets the color in pigment and blood vessels while the Radio Frequency heats the tissue surrounding the area that the IPL targets, to drive the energy deeper for safer more effective results. Often the first treatment results in a fantastic clearance.

We've got your back. And everything in between. To book your massage call 604 283-7827 ext. 0 or visit www.alongsideyou.ca

ELOS PLUS LASER

The Elos Laser Hair Treatment works on the same principle as the Photo Skin Rejuvenation, utilizing the same two energy sources. The different hand device used for hair removal, reaches deeper where the hair’s papilla (root) resides in the skin, destroying it and preventing hair re-growth. These treatments require you to be out of the sun for at least 3 weeks before receiving a treatment, as tanned skin attracts the Optical Light and not the target, which may cause photo damage. We make exception to this rule, if the treating areas have not been exposed to the sun. Getting started right away this fall gives you approximately 5-6 months to achieve a smooth skin with much less photo damage and a smooth hair free body before the next sunny season! Call Atlantis Day Spa @ 604-948-0458 to book your complimentary consultation or go On Line @ www. atlantisdayspa.com to submit your Med Spa Consultation Form to find out if you are a candidate for one of our laser Treatments. We look forward to helping you achieve beautiful skin!

whenever the People of God have been in situations of great uncertainty and fear, the voice of the Holy is never far off gently leading them and encouraging them to follow Jesus, God, the Divine into the great unknown. And they do, often reluctantly, but they do follow and in turn are transformed into new people with new possibilities and confidence. The same is true for us. Jesus calls us into the unknown, to boldly take the next best step for us, our family, our community. With each step we find God gently holding us in the uncertainty and enabling us to do more than we can ask or imagine.

Rotary Peace Day goes virtual

Each year on the United Nations International Day of Peace, the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen gathers with community leaders to celebrate peace in our families, our workplace, our schools, and our community. This year, on Monday Sept. 21, the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen invites you to participate in the celebration of Peace. This event normally takes place at the Peace Pole in the Rotary Square at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be going virtual. The 2020 theme for the International Day of Peace is “Shaping Peace Together.” We are asked to celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic and to stand together with the UN against attempts to use the virus to promote discrimination or hatred. Rotary will also be recognizing an individual, group or organization living in, working with or serving the Tsawwassen community to create a culture of peace by combating racism, violence, discrimination, bullying, corruption or any other issue that creates conflict or disharmony. Please join Rotary as they give recognition and an award that best reflects the goals of the International Day of Peace at: https://www. rotarytsawwassen.org.

Together T-Shirt raising funds for worthy cause IAN JACQUES

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

The purchase of a nifty, new T-shirt can help out two worthy community causes and several businesses who have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Stir Coffee House, Indalma Creative, Safeguard Business Systems and the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society have all come together to create the Delta Together T-Shirt as a way to give back to their community. “Rob from Stir Coffee House approached us as he had the idea for this T-Shirt fundraiser,” said Kristy Storey from the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society. “He worked with Indalma and they did the graphics and donated the time in doing the work on them. Safeguard in Tilbury is printing the shirts, so it’s a joint venture. We, as the

Charitable Society, purchased the shirts and we then reached out to different local retailers who are selling the shirts for us. They are $25 each.” Funds raised from the sale of the shirts will be donated evenly between Azure Place Transition House (operated by WINGS) and the North and South Delta chapters of Starfish Pack. The goal is to raise $10,000. A variety of Delta businesses are selling these shirts, and will be accepting sales via cash or e-transfer. If you have any questions about pick-up please contact the business you’d like to buy from. These shirts can be found at the following businesses: Stir Coffee House, Muddy River Landing, Barnside Brewing, Four Winds Brewing, Petra’s by L’Aromas, and Spektra Reflections of Home. “We launched last week and we have already ordered a second round

Instead of typical events being hosted at north and south ends of the Delta, the 40th edition of the Terry Fox Run will be going virtual on Sunday, Sept. 20. “Cancer isn’t waiting for the pandemic to end and neither can we. Even with the additional challenges Canadians are facing, we need to remain committed to supporting cancer research this September,” says Ara Sahakian, interim executive director of The Terry Fox Foundation. “While we can’t run or walk together sideby-side and in-person this year, we know that Canadians are still determined to do what Terry asked of us - fundraise and donate to cancer research. “The Foundation’s online platform at terryfox.org offers an easy and secure way to fundraise where participants can now also download the new app. It offers

a uniquely Terry Fox experience, with storytelling and inspiration to support Canadians on September 20.” Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope ended abruptly 40 years ago. While Terry was forced to stop his run across Canada, his dream of a world without cancer continues. “Terry said that it’s got to keep going without me, but he could never have imagined that 40 years later $800 million would be raised for cancer research. Our family is so thankful for how Canadians have embraced Terry and his mission and made such an incredible impact on cancer research with their fundraising,” said his brother Fred Fox.

Guichon corn, potato fundraiser going virtual Since 2010, the Guichon grandchildren have come together each summer to hold a Corn and Potato Fundraiser in memory of their Grandma Lorraine, who passed away in 2009 and their Grandpa Jack, who passed away in 2018. All proceeds from the sale of corn and potatoes are donated to Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation in honour of their grandparents, who had received

amazing care at Delta Hospital. This year, the Guichon’s have made the difficult choice to change their event to best protect their customers during COVID-19. For the month of September, donations to DHCHF will be accepted through a fundraising page on the Foundation’s website at: https:// dhchfoundation.ca/, as well as donation tins at Backroads Family Farm

Market. To date, this special family fundraiser has raised more than $31,000 for priority needs at Delta Hospital and receives tremendous support from the community. This year being their 10th annual fundraiser, the Guichon’s have set a goal to hit a 10-year total of $35,000. The Guichon’s thank the community in advance for all their past and current support

ADVICE FROM THE PROS Question:

QUestioN

CAN I GET AN EQUITY TAKE OUT ON MY MORTGAGE TO RENOVATE MY PROPERTY OR PAY OFF MY CREDIT CARDS?

i have an especially hard time hearing in noisy environments such as restaurants or family dinners. do hearing aids address this? aNsWeR

Answer: Yes! Equity take outs can be obtained for a number of purposes, including financing home renovations or to consolidate credit card debt. The Government has changed mortgage rules however regarding taking equity out of your home. When looking at a refinance or equity take out the total mortgage cannot exceed 80% of a property value. If you are looking for funds to fund a dream kitchen or get rid of some of that high interest credit card debt … give me a call!

Yes, many do! While some very basic models are simply hearing ampliﬁers that will make everything louder (including all the ambient noises around you), many of the more sophisticated hearing aids available today are designed to address background noise. Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

In most cases when an individual begins using hearing aids designed to address background noise, all sounds are once again heard clearly by the brain. When this happens, the brain has to retrain itself in selective listening skills. This adjustment process can take some time, so it’s important to be patient as you wait for your hearing in noisy environments to return!

QUESTION:

Q: When are “flu shots” going to be available?

How much silver do we have in our Canadian coins?

Ans. Thank you for this great question. In general, influenza vaccinations

ANSWER:

are available for administration from mid to late October onwards as the “flu season” runs from approximately mid-November to March.

From 1966 and older, the dime, quarter, half dollar and dollar Canadian coins were made out of 80% silver. In 1967 silver started to increase so the Canadian mint cut back on the silver in the quarters and dimes.

This year (2020-21) there are new formulations for the seasonal flu shots and the nasal formulation WILL be available. Currently there are no changes to those that qualify to receive the publicly funded vaccines. The publicly funded “high-dose” vaccine will only be available to seniors residing in long term care facilities. Your best defense against influenza is a combination of practicing good health habits, avoiding those who are ill, hand washing and getting your flu shot. Call me or come and see me for more information. “Your personal pharmacist is with you every step of the way” is not just a slogan – it is THE reason Paul Gibbons, Pharmacist/Owner at the Medicine Shoppe in Tsawwassen, looks forward to helping you every day.

Windsor Woods, Tsawwassen #4 - 1363 56 Street Tel: (778) 434-3300 www.medicineshoppe.ca email: ms0367@store.medicineshoppe.ca th

Background noise is present in everyone’s life. For people without a hearing loss, the brain unconsciously ﬁlters out most background noise; however, when a hearing loss is present and all sounds are reduced or inaudible, the brain essentially becomes lazy and stops properly ﬁltering out background noise.

The half and dollar remained at 80% but the dime and quarter averaged only 65%. In 1968 silver was cut back again in the dime and quarter to 50%. The 1968 halve and dollar had no silver in them at all.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

The easiest way to tell if your coins are silver or not is with a fridge magnet. If the magnet picks up the coin, it is NOT silver. They get picked up because they are nickel instead of silver. Our five cent coins (nickels) are made of nickel. That is how they got their nickname. At this moment for one dollar of 80% coins, (dimes, quarters, halves or dollars) we are paying $20.00.

Farming was Dennis Kamlah’s life

Westham Island farmer loses his battle to cancer at age 89 MARK BOOTH

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

Dennis Kamlah sure knew how to make a lasting impression. The lifelong Westham Island farmer lost his brief battle with cancer last month at age 89. Today the family property remains in good hands with Ryan and Blake Lundstrom continuing

where their grandfather left off. “My dad worked at a job in town, so we spent a lot of time with our grandpa as kids growing up. We started to really enjoy the farm,” recalled Ryan. “As we got older land prices were ridiculous. You couldn’t buy land to start farming, so we worked alongside grandpa and learned a

lot of things from him. We carried on through our younger days and slowly started to take over in the later days.” Kamlah’s parents moved to Westham Island in the 1930s and initially worked on other farms before purchasing their own. He did some fishing and was a truck driver for a brief time, but it always came back

to working on the farm. He got his first taste of it when he was 10. It was in his blood. He would eventually raise his own family on the original 35-acre property and took it over just like his grandsons would do decades later. “It was his life. Me and my three sisters grew up on Westham Island and all of us still live around

here,” said his daughter Jane Kelly. “He was just a hard worker. We grew peas, beans, potatoes and sugar beets - all sorts of different things.” Kelly added her father will also be remembered for his gentle and loving nature and someone who seemed to always have a smile on his face. “In the spring time he was still driving the trac-

tor and was always busy,” added Kelly. “When he went to the doctor and had to take his shirt off my sister couldn’t believe how good of shape he was in and that was six weeks before he died.” Kamlah leaves behind his wife and best friend Elvera, along with four daughters, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

Hi Paul, I wonder how you feel about getting my gas appliances serviced even though they are working fine? Is maintenance necessary? Bill- N. Delta

Hi Bill, Remember that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That is exactly how you should look at your Heating Appliances. It is so much better to have your heating system running smoothly and having the peace of mind that you are not going to have your furnace or boiler go down at 2am on a cold, Friday night, in January. Nowadays, appliances are much more complex than in the past. They are much more cost efficient and eco-friendly but, they also come with some more maintenance requirements. Some appliances actually have clauses in their warranties that require yearly servicing. Add some peace of mind and add years of life to your heating system and get them serviced. Make sure you use a licensed Gas Fitter. Safety is something you do not want to compromise on. The good news is Fortis has a program on now that you can get up to $150 in Rebates for Maintenance of your Natural Gas Appliances! Give us a call if you’d like to learn more.

A: Digital Anesthetic is a “The state of the art” technology that controls flow rate and pressure of the anesthesia during the injection. This method is significantly more comfortable than the traditional dental syringe and employs a technique that makes the injection virtually painless. This type of freezing shortens treatment time for every patient and best of all, pain management for the patient is phenomenal. Some people don’t even realize that freezing is taking place. It’s nice to see children, who have never had dental anesthesia, leave their visit never having to experience the “anxiety” associated with “Syringe-Type” delivery methods. Many patients who work would never schedule a procedure in the middle of the day because of profound and lasting anesthesia. With Digital Anesthetic system, patients are now willing to come in at any time, knowing they will be able to communicate effectively at their job.This method of freezing greatly decreases anxiety associated with dental treatment and makes life easier for both the dental team and the patient.Call Riverside Dental at (604)946-9588 or email at smile@ladnerdentist.com if you have any questions about this procedure

Could tiny homes be a constant in Delta? 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 form of affordable housing that makes great sense, especially for multigenerational families that want to stay together, but getting it built was a big challenge. North Delta resident Kathleen Higgins, a longtime advocate of small housing, is enjoying her new, smaller detached single-family house built next to three other small houses on what was once a single-family lot on 108th Street. That lot had been occupied by her older rancher, typical of the housing stock that can be seen throughout Delta. Higgins saw the potential of having the lot subdivided in order to build four homes that could provide the opportunity to have her mother and daughter stay close by in one while another is occupied by her son. Two of the houses are 830 square feet and the other two are 1,150 square feet. “I’m still advocating for smaller homes and hoping now that we have

built it, people can see how well it works and Delta can see how well it works. We hope Delta will now open the process and let people do this without charging them more than when somebody builds one big unaffordable house that replaces one little rancher,” she said. Led and designed by the Higgins family, and constructed by Blue Ocean Construction of Burnaby, the “Small Home Initiative” was recently recognized by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association with an Entry-Level Home Affordability Award. It was the first time such an award was given by the association. Receiving final occupancy last October, the project cost more than it should with added fees, which hopefully will be a thing of the past when more such projects are proposed, noted Higgins. “It’s only worth it if it’s the beginning of a trend and this can become common. Right now, the only thing that happens when one old house comes down is one great big house that only

the rich can afford replaces it. We’re gradually changing the character of Delta one way or the other and it doesn’t have to be a choice between luxury houses or even townhouses which are also getting into a totally different stratosphere from what a lot of people can afford as well,” she said. Higgins added that as the population gets older, there will be an increased demand for smaller, multi-family and ground-oriented homes, dwellings that don’t require strata fees. According to city planning staff, given the uniqueness of the project, it involved a site-specific amendment to the Official Community Plan and rezoning to a comprehensive development zone. James Higgins and Margaret Higgins, who also live there, made a presentation to Delta council last month and described some of the hurdles for their project, which received initial approval in 2016. One solution proposed during the presentation, which Mayor George Harvie said is a great idea, is to have

pre-zoning in place for such projects, designating all single-family lots as infill. Harvie noted pre-zoning would speed up the process and add certainty for anyone wanting to develop a property and is paying a lot of money up front. James Higgins noted it’s the perfect time to make such changes as the city is formulating a new housing action plan. The pre-zoning idea was first recommend by a Delta housing task force in 2010 and will be explored by a current civic task force. Other challenges included having to redo the designs several times. A solution would be to have pre-approved designs, something in place in other cities, said Margaret Higgins. Fast tracking the approval process and fee reductions or deferrals were also proposed to encourage more such developments. James and Margaret Higgins also got a certificate of recognition from Delta council.

tempting to purchase windows based on price alone, but replacement windows are often a decision that only has to be made once or twice for the life of the home. Invest in durable windows that will have staying power. Consumer Reports offers unbiased reviews on various window brands and can help homeowners make sound decisions. Prepare for installation: Clear pathways, remove window treatments and disconnect window alarm systems. Plan for one to two days of installation, advises Andersen Windows and Doors. Keep pets and children away from work areas. Replacement windows can be a smart investment.

After the project is completed, an inspector will come by and ensure the work was done according to code. Change up the appearance: Look at the type of hardware you have around the home and other fixtures. Choose windows that have locks or latches that can match those features for continuity of style. Think about choosing a different style or frame color of the window, or a different type of window to improve efficiency and function. Research top window manufacturers: It’s

Winter is coming, and for millions of people who reside in areas of the country that see the mercury drop considerably between December and March, that means prioritizing staying warm. Inefficient or aging housing materials may compromise your ability to do just that. Drafts from doors, poorly protected attics and basements and aging windows may force heating systems to work extra hard to maintain interior temperatures. Replacing old windows can make a home quieter by blocking out exterior noises. Consumer Reports also notes that new windows are often easier to clean and maintain than older varieties.

Signs your tools may need some TLC A do-it-yourselfer is only as good as his or her tools. Without the proper tools, even the handiest men and women may struggle to complete jobs well within their abilities. It doesn’t take a seasoned do-it-yourselfer to recognize when hammers and screwdrivers need to be replaced. And such tools are generally so affordable that replacing them, even when they still have some utility, won’t affect too many DIYers’ budgets. However, power tools are considerable investments that do not necessarily need to be discarded when the first signs of trouble pop up. In fact, sometimes power tools just need some TLC to become useful once again. The following are some common symptoms of power tool problems, and what may be behind those problems. Difficulty starting A power tool that won’t start can delay a project. But a tool that won’t start should not be immediately written off, especially not before DIYers employ a multimeter. The cost of digital multimeters varies widely, with some retailing for less than $20 while others sell for hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Serious DIYers who

spend every weekend working on one project or another may find the more expensive multimeters more to their liking, but many weekend warriors can get by with less expensive alternatives. Multimeters are useful because they can measure voltage on a power tool to determine if power is effectively moving through the tool. Dust and dirt also can compromise power tools. This may be especially likely in spring, a time synonymous with home renovations, when many homeowners pick up their tools for the first time in months. Inspect a power tool that’s not starting to see if dust or dirt is the culprit. If so, clean the tool and then try to start it again. Loss of power Some power tools may start but still lack the extra muscle that make power tools more beneficial than manual tools. In such instances, the carbon brushes might need to be replaced. The online resource ereplacement.parts.com notes that heat damage to brushes can reduce the overall conductivity of the brush, resulting in less power reaching the tool’s motor. In such instances, replace the carbon brushes. In addi-

tion, chipped or damaged brushes can result in inconsistent power output. Replacing the brushes in such instances may be all that’s necessary to restore a tool to its powerful self. Burning smell Many a DIYer has dealt with a power tool that emits an odor of burning. The power tool experts at Grainger notes that tools like sanders contain drive belts, and these belts should be the first place to look when tools produce a burning smell. When the drive belt is to blame, the tool will typically stop working even when the motor is running. Capacitors may be behind the burning smell when using tools without drive belts. Sometimes tools have simply overheated. Whenever DIYers get a whiff of that burning smell, turn off the tool immediately and let it sit for 30 minutes before trying to diagnose the problem. Replacing these parts can restore them to full usefulness and get rid of that unwelcome aroma. Replacing worn or damaged power tool parts as opposed to the tools themselves is often the most budget-friendly way to get these musthave DIY accessories back on track.

PJHL will feature cohorts

COVID-19 means a much different look when the Pacific Junior Hockey League launches its regular season. A special meeting was held to discuss the move to Phase Three in viaSport’s Return to play guidelines. “It was appropriate to discuss in-depth and understand what this move would look like for our league,” says PJHL commissioner Trevor Alto. “After such a difficult number of months since last season was cancelled, I feel this was a very positive meeting for the league.” After initially announcing plans for a Sept. 29 launch date to the regular season, Alto says there are still many moving parts to confirm a schedule that will at least begin with “cohort” divisions with a maximum of four teams playing against each other. This follows the Phase Three Return to Play guidelines. Traditionally the PJHL features two conferences with interlock play. “Throughout this process, our plans must have key themes that include safety, communication, and flexibility. In order for us to return to the ice, we need to work diligently with our facilities so that all 13 venues are prepared for Phase Three competition,” continued Alto. “Once we confirm all our facilities are available, we will then be able to provide a firm schedule.”

It’s a familiar scene at least on the ice at the Ladner Leisure Centre. The South Delta Minor Hockey Association welcomed back players with its annual prep camps that will lead into a 2020-21 season that’s going to have a much different look with plenty of COVID-19 safety measures in place. Some of those protocols were already evident including limited access into the LLC arena (east entrance only) and players coming in full gear. Skates must be put on in the lobby area with dressing rooms closed. Parents are restricted from entering the building for now. Only 20 players and coaches are allowed on the ice at a time. It’s been the efforts of long-time SDMHA volunteer Wayne Carleton that has put the association in position to proceed with its season. He stepped up to take on the role of

Return to Play Coordinator along with his communications officer duties. He also happens to sit on a six-member committee with the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association that has put safety guidelines in place while closely working with Hockey Canada, BC Hockey and ViaSport that oversees all provincial amateur sports associations. In his profession as a golf course architect, Carleton was earlier involved in the safety planning to get B.C. golf clubs opened again which led to his similar role with minor hockey. Thanks to terrific work and support with the city, SDMHA was able to get a jump on other hockey associations by successfully hosting a summer skills program that began back in early July. “It’s been rewarding but a lot of time above and beyond too,” he said. “The priority is the safety and health for everybody. That’s what we’re focusing on and getting people use to the new normal. We don’t know how long this is going to last. Hockey Canada has lot of protocols in place. It’s just

a matter of adapting. Everywhere is different.” The set-up for the prep camp will carry well into this month with the focus being on development and evaluation. If and when league schedules are released it will be in cohort groups against nearby teams for a series of games. It would be followed by a break before a new cohort group is formed. “Rep tryouts are usually a two to three week process where this year it’s the month of September,” Carleton continued. “There is no determination when rosters need to be submitted or when there will be potential game play. “If Pacific Coast doesn’t announce league play, a lot of associations could do in house game play. Rep teams could do three groups of 10 and do 4-on-4 play. It could last a couple of weeks. It could last a month, two months or until Christmas. Everything stays the same until sometime in October. We know that for sure. We will keep our fingers crossed and hope (COVID-19) moves into a positive direction.”

There was no provincial championship or trip to nationals on the line. Just a couple of keen local girls fastpitch teams trying to salvage what’s left of their season after seeing much if it wiped out by COVID-19. The 2004A Delta Heat ended up taking a pair of hard-fought and entertaining games from the 2003B South Delta Invaders at Hawthorne Park but the score was irrelevant to the fact these girls were getting a chance to play again. The 2020 season was shutdown back in March and didn’t start up again until mid-June when Softball BC’s “Back to Bases” return to play plan was launched. “Inning Four” (the fourth of five phases) was recently given the green light by the provincial organization.

Now they will head to U19 in 2021 for their first of three seasons of eligibility. “This was kind of our year to see if we could do well and match the likes of Fusion 2004,” added Ainge. “I have a great group. Good group of girls. Good group of parents. I like that fact we have been trending up the last few years. “Seeing this improvement gives them a little bit extra when it comes time to training. Maybe they are looking at scholarships. “These girls are going into Grade 11 and this is the time (college) coaches will start looking to make contact.”

Reginald Spurgeon Birch November 3, 1926 – August 29, 2020

MCLEAN, Suzanne Marie Claudette it is with great sadness that the family of suzanne Marie Claudette Mclean (née Vaillancourt) announce her unexpected passing in hospital on september 2, 2020 in Delta, BC at the age of 80. suzanne will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years, Donald; and their children, Duart (Chelsea), Catherine (Vaughn) and Robert (linda); her sibling, lucie Vlodarchyk of Oakville On, and their seven grandchildren, nick (Dasha), Connor, Hunter, eric, natalie (Bryce), liam and Devon.

suzanne was born on January 19, 1940 in Drummondville, Quebec to liliane and Jean-Baptiste Vaillancourt. she married Donald in 1960, and relocated to Black’s Harbour, nB, Donald’s home town, where they welcomed three children. Her children remember her as a kind and gentle mother with a wonderful sense of humour and always enjoying being around her close friends. in 1983, suzanne and Donald moved again, this time to the Metro Vancouver area on the west coast where they have enjoyed many happy years. suzanne was proud of her French background and often enjoyed conversing in her native tongue when the opportunity arose. she was a wonderful homemaker, loving wife, and supportive mother. she was always generous with her time for her children and her husband, offering guidance and advice throughout their lives, and many laughs. suzanne was a dedicated Catholic and rarely missed weekly mass. the family will be holding a private service. in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations are welcome to the Heart and stroke foundation, a favourite charity of suzanne’s that she canvassed for. arrangements entrusted to Delta Funeral Home.

THOMAS, John Malgwyn John (J.t) was born on september 16th, 1951, in Vancouver, B.C. to alice and Malgwyn thomas. John graduated from sir Winston Churchill High school in Vancouver. When he was a young man he drove long-haul trucks until a serious accident ended this career. John then became an insurance Broker and ran an insurance agency with his brother, edward thomas. John passed away on august 27th, 2020, with his long-time partner, Donna Grounds, by his side. He passed away with great dignity, but he left this world far too early. the day before he died he was laughing and joking, as always, with his brothers ed and Ken thomas. John was known for being larger than life, and for his infectious laugh. now, the laughter that echoed off every wall in every room he entered, has gone quiet. John was incredibly witty, and no one laughed at his jokes more than he did himself. after John retired, his life’s passion became Golf. He was a member of the Beach Grove Golf Club in tsawwassen, B.C. He belonged to a group of men at the Beach Grove, affectionally known as the “Kindergarten”. the Beach Grove Golf Club, and his fellow golfers were very important to John.

although John was not feeling well at the beginning of august, he was scheduled to play in a Mixed Golf tournament. at the 18th Hole of the tournament John sank a very long, difficult putt to tie the game. this was the last putt he ever made. after retiring, John wintered in Palm Desert, California. He was a member of the avondale Golf Club in Palm Desert, where he met many new friends. John enjoyed the Palm Desert lifestyle, but was always ready to come home to Beach Grove Golf Club, where his friends were waiting. John will be greatly missed by his family: long-time Partner, Donna Grounds; sister, Marilyn Ward; Brother, edward thomas (Kim) and Brother, Kenneth thomas (sylvia). He has also left behind his nephews and niece: Britton Ward (sarah); scott Ward (Kathryn); Julie McKnight (PJ); Bradley thomas (amanda) and Rees thomas. and also, his much loved cat Missy. Due to the COViD virus, there will be a Celebration of John’s life at Beach Grove Golf Club at a future date. in lieu of flowers, please send a donation, in loving Memory of John thomas, to the aplastic anemia & Myelodysplasia association of Canada, at 2201 King City, On. l7B-1G2

At almost 94 years young, it is with great sadness that just 7 months after our mother passed, we say goodbye to our father, grandfather, great grandfather and wonderful friend to many. Dad has pulled anchor & left to be with his wife, Ina and his youngest son, Lance. Born and raised in Southwest Lot 16, Prince Edward Island. He came west on the train in 1949 and landed in Ladner where he became a true Ladneritte. He got into commercial fishing as a gillnetter with his brothers Eldon and Edgar. In 1971 he moved his wife and 10 children to the Cariboo. There he enjoyed a full life with his family and friends. His unique personality made him lovingly called “Mayor of Bridge Lake”. He was the King of ice fishing; no one could match his skill. He is remembered for his bit of guitar playing and love of Stompin Tom Conners. It was a joy to watch him hanging out with his brothers where no one could get a word in edgewise. Left behind to carry on everything he could give us but mostly his unfaltering love and sense of humor are: Brian (Trish), Wayne (Kathy), Brenda Birch (Tron), Maureen Scott (Brian), Louise Crothers (Kevin), Paul (Diana), Philip, Kevin and Regan. He was a special man to all his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He came from a large family and his presence was truly enjoyed by his many nieces, nephews and friends from BC to PEI. Predeceased by his brothers, Eldon, Hampton, Byron, Edgar and Gary. His sisters, Pearl Birch, Ethel Kelley and Blanch Findley. He is survived by his step-mother, Elizabeth Birch, sisters, Thelma Olsen and Betty Arsenault and sister in-law Pat Birch When mom left us he said “we must move on for that is life” so we are trying to listen to his words but he has left his whole crew moving, very slowly forward. Thank you to everyone that sent cards to dad when he lost mom. He knew who every one was from and couldn’t believe that he received so many. In lieu of flowers or donations please share a chat with an elderly person who is stuck in a home or at home. There is no better gift for the elderly then to talk about current events or days gone by for these are very lonely times for them.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

SWAN, Dave Spencer Dave was born December 9, 1943 in stratford, Ontario. He leaves behind his wife of 33 years erna, four children, two step children and three grandchildren. He attended H.B. Beal technical school in london, Ontario where he graduated with Grade 13. Dave was a life-long learner. By the time he reached the age of 58, he had been a licensed mechanic, had earned his teaching Degree, Masters in adult education and started towards his second Masters in Church Ministries, which he acquired in 2003. Dave loved life and regularly commented, “God is good” and “God has richly blessed me.” it cannot be ignored and must be mentioned that Dave endured poor health for many years. From approximately the age of 43, Dave’s health was a daily battle. if it was not celiac disease, it was diabetes, high or low blood pressure or high uric acid. Dave had a liver transplant in 2018 and, in the end died from cancer. through it all, he would always say, “it could be worse.” He did not concentrate on his ailing body and maintained a healthy attitude towards his daily struggles with his wife steadfast and unwavering beside him until his final breath. as a young man, his motto was, “i was not put on this earth for discomfort or pain.” i guess God didn’t get the memo. time and again, Dave said how much he enjoyed his teaching career, but he felt his last career was a blessing from God. Dave passed away on september 7, 2020, at the irene thomas Hospice in ladner, with his wife and step-daughter by his side.

TOBIN, Donna Mary it is with sadness that the family of Donna Mary tobin (née scott) announce her peaceful passing on september 11, 2020 in Delta, BC at the age of 76. Donna will be remembered by her loving, devoted husband of 57 years, ernie; and their daughters, Debbie tobin, and Michelle (todd) strukoff, her grandchildren; Kennedy and Parker. Brother; John (Barb) scott and nephew; Wallace (Betty) Haney. Predeceased by her parents Charles and Myrtle scott. Donna was born in Calgary, alberta in 1944. she married ernie in 1963, and later welcomed two daughters. you could often find her working as a bookkeeper, quilting, bowling, or volunteering. she was affiliated with Job’s Daughters, and held a quiet anglican Faith. Donna was an avid hockey and football fan. Donna received the honorary ‘Mother Clucker’ award, as well as B.G.e. (Best Grandma ever). she loved all social gatherings and laughing. Her family and friends would describe her as, kind, generous, patient, devoted, warm hearted, gracious and empathetic.

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

PUZZLE ANSWERS ON SEPARATE PAGE

the family would like to thank Dr. earl Goodman and all the recreation staff and caregivers at Mountain View Manor. as Donna requested there will be no service, instead her wishes were that we spend time laughing with our loved ones. in lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to a charity of your choosing or simply pay some kindness forward.

in lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the irene thomas Hospice. they made his last days bearable.
