South Delta provincial election candidates went head-to-head Tuesday night in a lively debate on a variety of topics. Hosted by the Delta Chamber of Commerce at the Lois E. Jackson Kinsmen Centre for Children (Reach) in Ladner, the 90-minute debate was broadcasted live by Delta Cable and

Eastlink. Before the question and answer period, each candidate had time for a two-minute introduction. Liberal candidate Ian Paton spoke about his local farming roots, growing up in Ladner as well as his time on Delta council, noting his involvement with agriculture-related committees for Delta and Metro Vancouver. Paton also spoke

Thanks for following us on:

about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Deltans and slammed John Horgan and the BC NDP for calling the snap election. Green candidate Peter Van der Velden introduced himself as a retired construction manager, a businessman and a consultant working in both public and private sectors. NDP candidate Bruce Reid referenced his time

working in public education. He also took aim at the Liberals, saying he has seen first-hand what the party’s neglect has done to teachers. The first two questions of the evening had to do with public transit to Tilbury and Annacis Island industrial parks and each party’s plan to replace the George Massey Tunnel. Paton explained how the Liberal’s replacement

project would provide the solution to employers in the industrial parks seeking more efficient transit for their employees. He said the projects’ highway widening component will serve as additional HOV lanes so that more busses can travel down Highway 99, over the bridge and onto Tilbury industrial park and Annacis Island. “It’s a huge issue for employees that live on

the other side of the river in Burnaby, Coquitlam, Vancouver, that they have easy access to get to their jobs,” Paton said. He also took the opportunity to point out how the NDP killed the Liberal’s bridge project in 2017 and how Tsawwassen First Nation leaders have openly opposed a tunnel, an idea championed by the NDP.

Candidates talk housing, business CONTINUED from Page 1

“[Tsawwassen First Nations] do not want to see a massive concrete tube going through the Fraser River for obviously environmental reasons, for the protection of salmon and sturgeon,” he said. Reid said his party is looking at improving transportation across the province, adding the importance of completing a new Massey crossing as soon as possible so that the industrial parks and their workers can get there more efficiently. Reid mentioned the NDP’s plans for the new crossing are in the works, but he won’t have exact information until after the election. To combat Paton’s remark about TFN leaders being against a tunnel, Reid referenced an article written by Mayor George Harvie discussing concern over the footprint a bridge would leave on farmland as well as traffic noise to nearby residents. van der Velden opened by saying he respectfully disagreed with Paton, saying the bridge proposed by the Liberals was never meant to move traffic, instead indicating it was so the Port of Vancouver could have deeper hulled ships move into the Fraser River. He said the BC Greens would establish a regional governance body, which would overcome fractured decision making on such issues, adding that the Greens would support the NDP’s plan for the George Massey crossing because it has been precipitated by regional councils. van der Velden suggested traffic gridlock could be alleviated by adding more transit and placing regulations on trucking so that fewer semis would be on the road during peak hours.

Pictured left to right; NDP candidate Bruce Reid, Liberal candidate Ian Paton and Green candidate Peter van der Velden. Another question asked was if the candidates supported the addition of mega mansions on agricultural land, which is currently banned through Bill 52. Paton said the bill has created many problems for farmers and renters, pointing to a Facebook group called Changes to Bill 52 as an example. He said he and a Liberal government offered to repeal Bill 52 and Bill 15 to give farmers the opportunities to add value to their property. “I do not like mega mansions. We stopped it here in Delta when I was on city council. We adopted the BC Liberals bylaw standard of 5,200 square feet as the biggest house you can build,” he said. “You don’t see mega mansions in Delta, you see tons of them in Steveston and Richmond.” van der Velden said he disagreed with Paton.

“I think that farmland should be kept farmland. We want to develop our farmland, the Greens support our farm community and the saving of our agricultural land,” he said. Reid denounced mega mansions built on farmland, but made it clear there could be exceptions made, saying there was no objection to families building additional homes on their land so long as they work on the farm. “If you’re going to have them there as just a way of getting cheap housing then that’s just not right,” Reid said. Candidates were also asked if they supported LRT or SkyTrain service from Richmond to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal, what their party’s plans are to bring more affordable rental and social housing to Delta, how their energy policy would reduce demand for fossil fuels

and how each party will support small businesses that are struggling to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents can view a replay of the evening at: SportsWave TV.

There have been more reported COVID-19 cases at Delta Hospital, but on the positive side, Fraser Health has not reported any new deaths in the past week. In an update provided to the Optimist Tuesday afternoon, Fraser Health says there are now 23 staff and 19 patient cases associated with the COVID-19 outbreak at the hospital. There sadly has been seven deaths. The case numbers provided Tuesday show an increase of one patient case from last week and an increase of six staff cases. “We continue to share our sincere condolences with those who have lost a loved one to COVID19,” said a Fraser Health spokesperson. “Thank

you to our staff and medical staff for their continued support in responding to this outbreak.” Due to the ongoing infections, Fraser Health closed Delta Hospital to new admissions on Oct. 5. If a patient needs admission to hospital, they will be transported to an appropriate hospital within the Fraser Health network. Despite not accepting patients, the hospital’s emergency department remains open and all scheduled surgeries are continuing. All infections to patients have taken place on the second floor medicine unit and have been contained there, says Fraser Health. Fraser Health says enhanced infection prevention and control measures put in place in the beginning of the

Delta police say students were not at any risk during a short lockdown at Sacred Heart School on Friday morning. DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf told the Optimist on Tuesday that students at the school on Ladner’s Arthur Drive were instructed to go into Hold and Secure protocol for a short time on Friday morning, based on the advice of the DPD School Liaison officer. Leykauf said the Hold and Secure protocol is where the school’s exterior doors are locked and students are kept inside the school building. “Essentially it was a family/civil mat-

ter. Acting on the initial information provided, police advised that Sacred Heart School should go into a hold and secure until more information could be determined,” said Leykauf. “The required information was quickly obtained by police, and the school resumed normal operations shortly thereafter. The whole matter was over within a half an hour. It was determined there was no risk to any students.” Social media was abuzz during the long weekend, with some parents saying that Ladner Elementary was also in a lockdown, but according to the Delta School District, there was not a Hold and Secure at Ladner Elementary and no connection to the incident at Sacred Heart.

The province’s civilian watchdog has asserted jurisdiction after two men were injured in Langley last Wednesday night following an attempted arrest involving Delta police and RCMP.

IIO investigating DPD, RCMP shooting in Langley 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 Independent Investigations Office (IIO) continues to investigate an officer-involved shooting in Langley. Information provided by the Delta Police Department indicates that on Oct. 7 at approximately 6:20 p.m., Delta officers were conducting an investigation near 200 Street and 24 Avenue. “While attempting to arrest two men related to the investigation, shots were fired by police which struck one of the men,” said the IIO in a news release. “Both men sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the interaction and were transported to a local area hospital for treatment.” DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf said

the RCMP has now taken conduct of the DPD investigation regarding the two men and this investigation will run concurrent to the IIO investigation. “As the IIO and RCMP are now the lead agencies in these investigations, the Delta Police will not be commenting any further on this matter,” added Leykauf. The IIO is asking any person who saw, heard or recorded the arrest of the man to contact the IIO Witness Line toll free at 1-855-446-8477 or via the contact form on the iiobc.ca website. The IIO is the independent civilian oversight agency of the police in British Columbia. It investigates all officerrelated incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.

Editor’s Note

IAN JACQUES

very October, Small Business Week (Oct. 18 to 24) recognizes and pays tribute to the entrepreneurs and small business owners that bring so much to our communities. Small business owners provide local jobs, some volunteer and host community events, while others give back and support youth sports, arts and community organizations. Small businesses bring energy and vitality to communities. Just look at Ladner Village and Tsawwassen as examples of this right here in South Delta. Small business is the backbone of the economy here in B.C. Now more than ever, supporting small business is critical to our communities’ survival. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a health crisis and a financial crisis that no one could ever have predicted. In March and April as the pandemic began, small businesses across our community were forced to shutter their doors. Many had to shift their business models to an online approach rather than faceto-face interactions with their customers. Others, like restaurants, moved to a full take-out or delivery model. Most, thankfully, have weathered the storm, at least for now, and are surviving thanks to the support of our community. It was heartwarming to see a few weeks ago in our annual Reader’s Choice Awards how our community supported local businesses. There are amazing business owners and equally, amazing employees who ensure we have the products and services we need so close to home. I was proud to see our community take pride in the business community and in turn, the businesses themselves take pride in what they do and thank the community for their support. But that support must continue if our business community is to survive and thrive in these challenging times. So, next week and every week, let us continue to support our local business community. Shop local, shop at home.

To say this will be a different kind of election is an understatement

’ve heard a bit more about what will be involved in going to the polls this time out. A few extra steps, but nothing that will get in the way of democracy in action. In the past – like every election up until this one – you walked in, were greeted at the door, sauntered up to a polling station, signed your name, got your ballot, marked it and brought it back to deposit in the ballot box. Easy, quick, on your way. This time will be a little different. The main thing is to make voting and safe as easy as possible, under the circumstances. Here’s a sneak peek at what it will be like, and a few hints to make it go smoothly for you. Think of grocery shopping, but with ID and a pencil. First off, bring a mask. Please. You don’t wear a mask to be protected, you wear one to protect others around you. I read online that people proclaim masks don’t work, people get the virus even if they wear one. Well, they didn’t get it because of their mask, they got it because someone else

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

didn’t wear one. All you say when you wear a mask is you are looking out for the safety of those working the election, who will be in a building for 12 to 14 hours, so you can vote. It’s not much to ask. Also, do like your Mom always told you and visit the facilities before you go. The washrooms are closed to the public, unless you are at a recreation centre. When you get in, things will be different as well. All elections staff will be wearing masks, some will have face shields and others will be behind screens. Lines on the floor will keep you at least six feet apart. There will be hand

sanitizer everywhere. You’ll likely come in one door, and out another. The biggest difference is the staff won’t be touching anything you will be touching. They won’t touch your ID, you’ll have to show it to them. You won’t sign the list of electors, you’ll make a verbal oath that you are eligible to vote. Once you get your ballot, you mark it the same way, and then deposit it in the ballot box. Also, bring a pen or pencil, no one else can touch that either. The good news is more than 650,000 people have asked for a mail-in ballot so far, there is seven full days of advance voting as well as Election Day. With all those opportunities, chances it won’t be too crowded. You’ll be in and out quickly, just like other elections. Happy voting!

Letters

Wrong building for Hunter Road Editor: An article in the Optimist on Oct. 8 (Condo project raises contribution question) states that the developer is proposing to pay $60,000 as a community amenity contribution because the development has two additional units above what is outlined in the OCP for the site.

In fact it has 10 additional units. The OCP allows 30 units, increasing to 38 units if there is a significant community amenity. This proposal has 40 units. The original proposal was for 50 units. The developer is also asking for significant reduction in setbacks on all four sides of the building. I agree that we need

more housing in the town centre and I appreciate that the original proposal was scaled back, but I believe that this is the wrong building for this narrow cul-desac and that the footprint is too large for this property. This is a busy pedestrian street with a partial sidewalk on only one side of the street. Terry Carr

May we strive to do better Editor: Closing in on my ninth decade of residence in British Columbia, I reflect gratefully on the blessings of such good fortune. There has been no better place on earth to have lived during these many years, surrounded by spectacular terrain, bountiful natural resources and a popula-

tion of responsible, productive and caring fellow citizens. Everyone, I am sure, shares my anger and deep regret over increasing instances of senseless and hurtful (often criminal) behavior throughout the province. The recent threatening abuse of our beloved champion of Public

Health, in the face of a pervasive pandemic is totally despicable. Then the imposition of an unnecessary and selfishly irresponsible provincial election compounds the tarnishing of our once proud reputation around the world. May we all strive to do better! Don Gunning

Delta is not serving this citizen

Editor: After going through the seven-page instruction manual on how to dispose of garbage and recycling, reading about the wildly over-reaching imposition on homeowners’ rights to maintain their own trees, and remembering my ever climbing tax bill and diminishing services, it’s time to speak up. City hall politicians and bureaucrats have forgotten why they are there: to serve the citizens of this community. They must know that every time they make recycling/garbage removal more difficult, the less ‘compliance’ there will be.

I wonder when the fines will start for us scofflaws who fail to get the right items in the right box every time? The new proposed imposition on property owners’ rights to even prune a tree is ridiculous. Are the citizens of Delta really denuding the landscape at such a rate that additional impositions on us are necessary? And I wonder what method City Hall’s good friends, the developers, will use to skirt the requirements? It’s past time for a thorough cleaning of city hall; bureaucrats and politicians alike.

Please address roadwork inequity The following letter was sent to Delta council and copied to the Optimist. Dear Mayor and Council: I happened to drive down the very short piece of 64th Street that used to be the old road to the landfill. It struck me as very odd that it had a beautiful newly paved road. This road must only see about a dozen or so cars a day as it is virtually a dead end. I did notice a brand new huge mansion being built on most likely agricultural land. I am sure that is a coincidence.

On the other hand, nearby Progress Way can see hundreds of vehicles per hour and its road surface is broken up. As a joint property owner of a warehouse on Progress Way for the last 10 years, I can’t say I have ever seen any serious roadwork done on it. As my vehicles take a pounding on it, most often I choose to exit west on River Road, rather than use the newer Highway 17. Could you please look into what can be done about Progress Way’s road condition? John Hutton

At a campaign stop in Delta Oct. 8, Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson said his party would provide hope for small businesses facing uncertain times because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joining Wilkinson for the announcement was Liberal candidate for Delta South Ian Paton as well as Liberal candidate for Delta North Jet Sunner. The announcement, held at Tsawwassen’s X-Treme Clothing Boutique, first introduced the Liberal party’s promise to permanently eliminate the two per cent small business income tax. “This will have a real impact on the bottom line of businesses so they can reinvest, hire more people and get on with the business of trying to be successful in this tough economy,” Wilkinson said. Wilkinson also announced that if a Liberal government were to be elected, bridge financing in the form of a loan guarantee program, would be provided to more than 19,000 tourism and hospitality businesses in B.C. “What they need is the financing to keep themselves alive over the winter and hopefully we’ll have a vaccine in 2021 so they can come back to life and

get on with their business,” he said. Also mentioned was the previously announced year-long hiatus of the provincial sales tax (PST) with Wilkinson saying he was willing to forgo the approximately $220 million historically generated to “turbocharge” small business. When asked when these programs would roll out, Wilkinson said they would be a ‘top priority’ if a Liberal government would be elected. He went on to say he has heard from tourism business operators who have told him they will be making the hard choices by Christmas.

Delta Pride Society celebrates LGBTQ+ history month CAMERON THOMSON

C o n tr i b u t i n g Wr i t er

This October, the Delta Pride Society hopes to spread appreciation for how far the LGBTQ+ movement has come by looking at it through a historical lens. To get the word out, the society is hosting a pride history themed contest with two possible prizes. The first is a basket from Four Winds Brewery and the second is made up of two locally handmade items, a pride coloured hoodie from Do or Dye Customs and a mug from Treasure Trove Gifts. Instructions to enter the contest are posted on the Delta Pride Society’s Facebook page with winners to be announced Nov.1. Christa Horita Kadach, member of the Delta Pride Society, explained the importance of remembering those who made advances for the LGBTQ+ community during their time. “I think everybody who came before this era has had some sort of impact on fighting for LGBTQ rights and visibility,” Kadach said. Kadach hopes people come away from pride history month with a comprehensive view of the role LGBTQ+

BC VOTES 2020

Meet Liberal candidate Ian Paton Editor’s note: The Optimist asked all three candidates in Delta South a series of five questions. Below is their responses as well as any other information they wished to provide.

Q: What is your position on a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel? A: Under a BC Liberal Government, drivers stuck in George Massey tunnel traffic — the worst traffic bottleneck in BC — will see a new bridge built to replace the aging and seismically unsafe Massey Tunnel as soon as possible. This urgently needed infrastructure project has been in limbo for years while thousands of tons of sand have gathered weeds on the side of Highway 99. Before the NDP cancelled it, the previous bridge project was on track for completion in 2021. After years of delays, commuters in Delta need relief, fast. Tsawwassen First Nation has been clear: they will not support a new tunnel in the Fraser River due to serious environmental concerns. That means years of drawn out environmental assessments and legal battles that the government would eventually lose. In addition, a tunnel would destroy valuable farmland in Delta and Richmond. The original bridge project remains the fastest, least expensive, and most environmentally friendly solution. We will get it done. Q: How would your government protect and enhance the ALR in Delta? A: As a third-generation farmer, the protection of agricultural land is very important to me. As MLA, I introduced a private members’ bill to save Delta’s Brunswick Point farmland and bird habitat from development. Brunswick Point boasts exceptional Class 1 soil that grows BC’s very best potatoes— but most importantly, this area is world-renowned as a resting stop for migrating birds. Unfortunately, many decades ago, this land was expropriated from the farmers who owned it, and is now at risk of being lost to industrial development.

Ladner farmer and Liberal candidate Ian Paton is seeking his second term serving Delta South in Victoria.

It is vitally important that these precious 600 acres of farmland continue to be kept for agriculture and wildlife habitat in perpetuity, and either be sold or offered back to local farmers with long-term leases. Unfortunately, the NDP refused to call my bill for debate. If we form government, we will re-introduce and pass this bill. Q: What is your position on port expansion at Roberts Bank? A: I have been clear on this issue since my time on Delta City Council. While I understand the need for increased capacity to facilitate our province’s economic growth, I am also concerned about the potential environmental impacts of Roberts Bank Terminal 2. More work needs to be done to understand the

environmental consequences before a decision can be made. Further, no decision should be made on this project, which would significantly increase truck traffic on our highways, prior to the completion of a new crossing to replace the aging Massey Tunnel. Q: How would your government further assist small business in Delta? A: Small businesses are struggling right now. The effects of a global pandemic, in addition to 23 new and increased provincial taxes over the last three years, has many business owners wondering if they will be able to make it to Christmas. A BC Liberal government would deliver fast relief to small businesses by immediately eliminating the two per cent Small Business Income Tax rate in its entirety. This move will provide real financial relief

to B.C. businesses, workers, and families at a time when it’s needed most and help get our community thriving again. We’ll also be delivering emergency financing for B.C. businesses hardest hit by the pandemic, through a loan guarantee program for the province’s more than 19,000 tourism and hospitality businesses. We have also committed to eliminating the PST for one year, to help boost consumption and give families a muchneeded tax holiday. Combined, these measures will make B.C. the most competitive place in Canada to start a new business. Q: How would your government assist the City of Delta in improving housing options? A: I have heard countless stories in my office of young families and seniors who have

been pushed out of the local housing market in our community, and suddenly find themselves in precarious situations. Our plan for housing will address the need for increased housing supply. Specifically, we need to address the key issues which stop the building of rental units, including long delays in approvals, different regulations in Metro Vancouver communities, and stringent and outdated zoning rules. The region must also prioritize the building of purposebuilt rentals in BC as we did in the 1970s. This includes using provincial and municipal lands to build affordable housing. Furthermore, eliminating the PST will save $9 per square foot on wood-frame construction and $12 per square foot on concrete construction. These costs would otherwise be passed on to renters and prospective buyers.

BC VOTES 2020

Meet NDP candidate Bruce Reid

Editor’s note: The Optimist asked all three candidates in Delta South a series of five questions. Below is their responses as well as any other information they wished to provide.

Bruce Reid has dedicated his life to public education as a teacher, counsellor, and now as a school trustee standing up for our kids. He has seen first-hand how the BC Liberals’ neglect and their war on teachers undermined the public education system – a harmful legacy that inspired Bruce to take action and get involved in politics. He is proud that the BC NDP is making record investments in our schools, which have gone a long way to repairing that damage, and more improvements are on their way. A former pastor with the Salvation Army, Bruce is committed to helping people dealing with poverty, mental health, and addictions issues, and wants to be part of a government focused on solutions. A retired teacher and school counselor, Bruce firmly believes that we need to spend more time listening to each other to identify and relieve the struggles that people face every day. As a proud long-time resident of South Delta, Bruce will stand up for this community and work hard to make life better for people here. Q: What is your position on a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel? A: The BC NDP has worked to get this right for people in Delta, Surrey and Richmond. We’re full steam ahead on plans for a toll-free Massey replacement, which is on track for final approval by the end of the year. The BC Liberals want to completely change course, risking federal financing and setting the project back years. That would bring us back to the drawing board. Instead, we need to get this project finished so people can get where they need to go! Q: How would your government protect and enhance the ALR in Delta? A: We all benefit when we keep our best farmland in

The BC Liberals worked to undermine the ALR – we put a stop to that and put in new protections that stopped the proliferation of mega-homes and illegal dumping on prime agricultural land. The BC NDP will continue to create opportunities to support farmers in Delta and ensure people in BC can access fresh locally grown food. Our platform includes a new Regenerative Agricultural Network to improve production with cutting-edge technology – improvements that will create jobs for workers, new opportunities for farmers, and make farming more sustainable. Q: What is your position

on port expansion at Roberts Bank? A: When the federal environmental assessment process is complete, BC – and a re-elected BC NDP government – will make its own determination based on full information. We support a process that engages First Nations, communities and people impacted by the project, and ensures community livability and sustainability to protect the critically important ecosystem. That means supporting our trade infrastructure in a way that protects our communities and the resources they depend on, while providing benefits for people in B.C. Q: How would your government further assist small business in Delta? A: John Horgan and the BC

NDP will keep working hard to make sure small businesses can weather the pandemic. When we first formed government, we cut the small business tax rate and it’s now the second lowest in the country. We worked very closely with small businesses as we developed Stronger BC, our economic recovery plan. Our supports include a 15 per cent tax credit on new payroll, $300 million in grants for small businesses to protect jobs, a PST exemption for new machinery, and many other programs that provide jobs and skills training. Q: How would your government assist the City of Delta in improving housing options? A: Thanks to the partnership of many local governments, including the city of Delta, we have made good prog-

ress on our commitment to deliver 114,000 new affordable homes – including 360 right here in this community. The BC Liberals let the speculative housing market spin out of control and we’re still cleaning up the mess. There is much more to do and we will be counting on our strong partnerships with local governments to keep bringing new rentals to market – whether they are the next set of publicly-funded social housing projects, or tens of thousands of new market rental options delivered through the additional low-cost loans we will provide through our HousingHub program. We also plan to partner with non-profit and co-op housing providers to acquire and preserve existing rental housing.

BC VOTES 2020

Port expansion at Roberts Bank is a key issue for Delta South Green Party candidate and Tsawwassen resident Peter van den Veden.

Meet Green Party Delta South candidate Peter van den Veden

Editor’s note: The Optimist asked all three candidates in Delta South a series of five questions. Below is their responses as well as any other information they wished to provide.

My family immigrated to Canada in 1963. I’ve lived and worked in four different provinces and spent time as a municipal councillor and director for volunteer organizations. I’ve lived in Tsawwassen for 10 years and you may have read my letters to the Optimist. I’ve spoken about housing, traffic and the T2 and Tilbury proposals. When elected I’ll champion: Improving care for seniors: We are fortunate in South Delta to have a good standard of care for our seniors. Many of the province for-profit care homes are subsidized with public money. The BC Green Party has introduced a plan to shift to a mix of public, communitybased services and co-ops. We will recognise caregivers as health care professionals and pay commensurate salaries. This could include more home care for those who wish to stay home. Phasing out fossil fuel subsidies: Restoring confidence: The millions of dollars in fossil fuel subsidies should go to our communities. Your taxes would support a new, green and renewable

economy to come out of the COVID19 pandemic. The Greens will support strengthening communities to sustain our province. We will provide communities the support they need to boost our economy and help those that need it most. This will restore confidence. Reviewing the viability of the Tilbury Expansion Project: There is an expansion plan to increase LNG production 90 times its original operation and export LNG over the Fraser River. This is in violation of international safety standards and endangers lives in Delta and Richmond with the potential for a catastrophic accident.

Q: What is your position on a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel? A: We need an immediate solution to our tunnel congestion. Congestion could be improved by regulating truck traffic at peak hours. Transit desperately needs to be improved to this area and would take cars off the road. The Liberals 10-lane bridge was never planned to alleviate traffic issues, but was designed for the Port of Vancouver to bring deep ships up the Fraser. The NDP has designed a plan for a new crossing with regional government. While completing this plan the short-term solutions should be imple-

mented to help commuters and business with traffic in this corridor. One major concern is the disruption of Highway 99 through a long construction period. With the Liberal plan, the tunnel may well be closed at times and local business and commuters would suffer.

Q: How would your government protect and enhance the ALR in Delta? A: The ALR has been under threat since the Liberal reign. We need to tighten the ALR regulations and enforcement. Delta is pressured for industrial and residential land. This will only worsen with a new Fraser crossing. The Green platform is built around the issue of Food Security. This can be achieved through protecting our agricultural land and development of agricultural innovation. Q: What is your position on port expansion at Roberts Bank? A: Ottawa buried a vital report from Environment Canada that exposed irreversible loss of significant habitat impacting resident whales, salmon, and migratory shorebirds of the Pacific Flyway. This proposal should not be allowed to go ahead. It has a flawed business case and the environmental damage is not acceptable.

Q: How would your government further assist small business in Delta? A: We will help business owners get through this winter with $300 million for a six-month rent subsidy program. It would cover 25% of the rental costs for qualifying small businesses. We would work with business to look at new models to help growing families succeed through our COVID-19 and climate change issues.

Q: How would your government assist the City of Delta in improving housing options? A: We would increase the supply of affordable housing, curb speculation and enhance financial stability. The B.C. Greens would earmark $500 million for a program to lower income earners paying more than 30% of income in rent. We will work with local and regional governments to reform our finance system to ensure communities are getting the support they need. Support like funding for sustainable projects such as bike lanes, paths, parks, community spaces, and pedestrian-only streets. This province needs Green representatives to continue the legislation achieved with our minority government the past three years.

Small Business Week

Ways to build culture in a remote working world Since March, the way many small businesses function has fundamentally changed. Office life has been put aside in favour of work from home, with companies discovering staff can

function just as effectively in remote locations. While tasks are being completed on time and quality of work hasn’t suffered, one aspect of office life is proving hard to replicate – office cul-

ture. Leaders who have intentionally nurtured an amazing office-based culture have been left scrambling, trying to identify ways to keep staff working together as one cohesive team in separate locations. In an effort to help, we’ve put together five best practices for building a great culture when staff are working remotely. Over communicate So much learning happens in the workplace from hearing conversations. Whether it’s two members of a team discussing a problem,

or overhearing others detailing a task, this learning via osmosis has proven to be a challenge in a remote environment. In times like these, over communication can work to replicate this feeling. Ask your team members to regularly share what they’re working on, the status of objectives, and problems they may be facing. This open dialogue allows team members to chime in with their insights on issues and share their expertise. Lean on Software We’ve never had more tools available to us to remain connected. Utilize chat software like Slack to create various channels for crosscompany communica-

tion. Some channels can be project-focused, some dedicated to the social side of things. Create a virtual ‘watercooler’ for your team members to post interesting updates and spark discussion. If uptake is slow, take a leadership role and start conversations yourself. Software like Zoom facilities instant video conversations. Schedule regular video calls for staff to update each other on tasks and communicate face-to-face. Consider one-on-ones with team members each week to act as a status check. Fun activities Many workplaces integrate a fun activity into office life each week. While we aren’t sharing

a common workspace, these activities can happen just as effectively in a remote setting. This could involve tasks such as asking staff to post pictures of their pets, quizzes, or even a game of Pictionary. This small social element will work to keep staff feeling like they’re part of a team and not just a cog in a machine. At Small Business BC, we each received a plant to our remote offices that we tend to and update each other on. It’s been a great team building exercise learning plant care tips from others, while simultaneously brightening up our workstations. Give your full attention With such limited opportunities to interact face-to-face, it’s vital team members give each other their full attention while on the phone or video calls. In an office environment, we’re used to having conversations while typing, or looking at something on our computer. Unfortunately, communicating by phone or video just doesn’t work the same way.

Delta extends patio policy into next year CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Thanks to an extension of the City of Delta’s new patio policy, Deltan’s can continue

enjoying outdoor dining into 2021. The policy, approved earlier this summer, provides a simplified approval process, more physical distancing

opportunities for bars and restaurants by using parking spaces or areas of mall lots, and enables businesses to potentially add space through the temporary closures of

certain parking spaces and/or streets. At an Oct. 5 council meeting, the policy was extended until Oct. 31, 2021. Coun. Dylan Kruger

hopes the policy can remain in effect much past next Halloween. “I think it’s so important for our community that we have more certainty,” Kruger said. “We

have businesses that are spending a lot of money to upgrade their facilities and I think they should have some certainty beyond October of 2021.”

OARH hosts virtual all-candidates forum CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

Delta South provincial election candidates talked about racism issues in the community during a virtual all-candidates meeting Wednesday night. Hosted by Delta’s Organizing Against Racism and Hate (OARH) committee, the session featured NDP candidate Bruce Reid and Green Party candidate Peter van der Velden. Liberal Party candidate Ian Paton was unable to participate as he was attending a previous campaign engagement. OARH member Rhiannon Bennett facilitated the discussion via Zoom call and broadcast live on Facebook. Reid and van der Velden were provided with a four-minute introduction during which the candidates spoke briefly about their experiences

with racism and discrimination. Following questions regarding their inherent privileges, the candidates were asked to describe what actions they have taken to shun racism. Reid said his experience was centered in education, specifically teaching within the Moosonee First Nation in Northern Ontario. During his time there he said he tried to make sure that everyone was treated fairly and equally. “My journey has been one of curiosity, possibly regret that I hadn’t been more active and aware in the past,” Reid said. Van der Velden also stated a level of remorse saying his experience with racism and discrimination were limited. “I have to express a certain level of ignorance in that my learning curve has been much steeper in the last 15 to 25 years,” he said. “The only experi-

ence I have was coming here as an immigrant and learning to deal with prejudice and seeing it within the community of immigrants.” Next the candidates were asked what they will do to address racism in the community. Van der Velden pointed to the Green Party’s focus on education as a solution to racism in Delta. “We can only equalize our society if we have equal opportunities in education and I think that if we do that through our government,” he said. Reid also had thoughts of addressing racism through education, but on a larger scale. “I think we’ve got to get more involved in educating the general population,” Reid said. “The general population receives very little education with regard to racism and hatred.” One of the bigger

questions of the evening asked candidates if they supported the removal of police from school settings, out of mental health initiatives, off Indigenous lands and the redirection of police funding to communitylead harm reduction initiatives. “There’s no question our policing needs to change,” van der Velden said. “Our policing has been stuck in a form and I’m not so sure that it has progressed. “Communities around the world have shown that specially trained people augmenting the police force can be very effective at dealing with these issues and I think those are the kind of changes that if we’re not looking at them we’re not growing.” Reid drew on his experience with police in the education sector when he provided his answer. “I’ve had many, many

years of being in the schools and working with the police liaison officer and the police liaison officer in my experience have been there to help students understand that the police are there to protect them,” Reid said. Both candidates said they supported the creation of tribal police forces if First Nations communities wanted their own policing.

The Optimist caught up with Paton during a Liberal Party campaign announcement by leader Andrew Wilkinson Thursday morning in Tsawwassen. He said his feelings towards racism were very clear: “There’s absolutely no place in Canada, in the world, in British Columbia for any sort of racism or discrimination,” Paton said.

Marley Project launched to aid non-profit CAMERON THOMSON

C o n t r i b u t i n g Wr i t e r

A Tsawwassen family is transforming a tragic loss into a positive force for supporting women and children affected by violence and substance abuse. Today, Oct. 15, will mark one year since Tsawwassen local Marley Halpen passed away due to an accidental fentanyl overdose. He was 24 years old. The Halpen family will be spending this sombre day of remembrance celebrating his life and honouring his memory together. Finn Halpen is using the anniversary of her brother’s death to raise money and awareness by creating the Marley Project, an online fundraiser for the non-profit Atira. Atira Women’s Resource Society works

to provide safe and supportive housing and shelter for some of the most vulnerable members of society. The society is focused on women and children who have been affected by substance abuse, violence and homelessness. The fundraiser’s goal of $1,000 was quickly surpassed. “It makes me feel very lucky to have such amazing people in my life who are willing to donate to help those in need,” Halpen said. “My hope is not only to raise money for this phenomenal non-profit but also to bring awareness to the need for harm reduction in our city.” To make a donation go to https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/ the-marley-project/. Halpen asks those who would prefer to make a physical donation to email themarley-

Last call for Speed’s Pub isn’t happening anytime soon. That’s the message family members want the community to know after the sudden passing of the pub’s owner Speros “Speed” Falcos on Sept. 30 from heart failure at 83. Rumours have been swirling on social media that the waterfront establishment is about close after 25 years. Falcos’ daughter Stephanie and her husband Scott Greene want to set the record straight. “No decision has been made by the family,” said Greene. “The whole process of looking into the entire business operation didn’t even get underway until this week.” Greene added no other family member was involved closely in the business.

He opened the Ladner pub 25 years ago. law oversaw everything up until his passing. “There are just some things we need to find out,” Greene told the Optimist. The always colourful Falcos opened the pub in 1995. He worked as a commercial fisherman and then operated Speed’s

Industrial Marine where he repaired boats before finding his true passion with his own bar. He also owned the Chisholm Street property. No service has been planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the family intends to have a celebration of life at a future date.

We are Here to Help.

Applications and donations are now being accepted for Deltassist’s Christmas programs. This year they will have a different look due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Deltassist’s Toy Depot and Christmas food hampers have been valuable programs for families in need during the holiday season for many years. Due to COVID both of these Christmas programs have been revised to keep everyone safe while still supporting families in need in Delta. The change this year is Deltassist will only be accepting monetary and gift card donations to fulfill both programs. All applications to receive help at Christmas will be done by phone and clients will be given a

scheduled appointment where they will pick up their gift card package. “We realized early on we needed to do something different this year,” explained Deltassist Community Services Coordinator Kirsti Kober who oversees both programs. “We work in partnership with the service clubs of Delta in the hamper program and a decision was made together to move away for the delivered hampers to gift cards this year.” “For years the service clubs of Delta would put the Christmas hampers together. Their volunteers would go out and pick up the food from various locations in Delta. That just can’t happen. We put together over 550 hampers last year. Just trying spacing everyone out, it’s just not possible to run it the same.”

“And for years annual Toy Depot has been our organization’s Christmas highlight. Parents would come and pick out gifts for their children that they would like. With gift cards, parents can still pick out what they want which is the same idea the Toy Depot has been.” Kober is well aware the pandemic could result in more applicants than previous years. That’s why Deltassist is counting on organizations and donors to step up like they usually do, just in a different way. “We’re reaching out to the business and community members that usually help us with sponsored hampers, angel trees and drop boxes. It’s having those people still wanting to be part of our programs,” she added. The Delta Chamber of Commerce has taken

lead with its annual 68th Hats Off Gala Excellence slated for Nov. 19 that will be a watch party this year. Instead of purchasing tickets, businesses are being encouraged to register for the event and donate to Deltassist’s holiday programs. Applicants can now call Deltassist’s Ladner (604-946-9526) or North Delta (604-594-3455) offices where they will leave their name and number then expect a call back for intake during regular weekday office hours (9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.). A verified application will include proof of Delta residency, income of each adult in the household and care cards for each child. Further information including making donations can be found by visiting www.deltassist. com.

Earthwise to host community bee workshops From sweet honey to fragrant beeswax candles, most of us have used a bee product at some point in our lives, but did you know that bees and other pollinators are vital to the human food supply chain? These tiny creatures travel from plant-to-plant carrying pollen on their bodies that allows the transfer of genetic material necessary for flowering plants to reproduce and set fruit. In fact, bees alone are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat! This fall, Earthwise Society is teaming up with Tsawwassen Mills to celebrate honeybees and the critical services they provide by offering a series of engaging workshops, and the opportunity to purchase a variety of unique bee products from Alveole: The Urban Beekeeping Company. Tsawwassen Mills has been collaborating with Alveole, a professional organization that installs and cares for beehives at businesses and schools, as

Earthwise is teaming up with Tsawwassen Mills to celebrate honeybees. well as educating the public about the importance of bees, all while producing delicious honey. This year, Tsawwassen Mills has generously donated all the Alveole products, including two workshops, to Earthwise Society in recognition of the Earthwise Feed the Bees program. The products will be sold online as a fundraiser to support new pollinator plantings

at the Earthwise Garden. Choose from local honey, beeswax candles, lip balm and more. The workshops will be delivered by knowledgeable Alveole staff and will include one virtual and one in-person session. The in-person workshop, “The Wonders of Beeswax” will be an hour-long, hands-on artisanal workshop exploring the wonders of

beeswax, on Friday, Oct. 23 from noon to 1 p.m. Guided by a beekeeper, attendees will participate in the centuries-old process of creating handcrafted beeswax candles and learn the rich history of beeswax. Spaces will be limited and physical distancing protocols will be followed. The cost of the workshop is $20 and Earthwise volunteers may attend for free. If you have never volunteered at Earthwise before, it’s not too late - fall is a busy season in the garden and more helping hands are always welcomed. The second workshop, on Nov. 26, is entitled “From Hive to Honey Jar” will be offered virtually to anyone who purchases a bee product through the fundraiser, and will give a behind-the-scenes look at the process of artisanal honey extraction and the inside scoop on the unique qualities of urban honey.

Delta Foundation opens up second round of support

Delta Foundation will give another $75,000 in emergency funding to Delta charities serving vulnerable populations disproportionately affected during the COVID-19 pandemic by the end of October. This second round of funding comes 11 weeks after completing the first round, which supported eight local charities with emergency funding of $181,000. This second round of funding is part of an ongoing partnership of Delta Foundation, and community foundations across Canada, with Community Foundations of Canada, United Way Centraide Canada and the Canadian Red Cross, in distributing the Government of Canada’s $350M Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF). This vast

national effort is a second round of funding that aims to support vulnerable populations by COVID-19. “As infection rates start to rise again in communities across the country, ongoing support is vital in the fight against COVID-19,” said Delta Foundation president Peter Roaf. On Monday, Delta Foundation at: deltafoundation.org began accepting applications for funding from qualified donees. The deadline to submit an application is Oct. 30. Grants can be used for a variety of purposes, including to cover staffing or resource needs, purchase assistance and more. Charities and community organizations are invited to visit the foundation website for eligibility and application details.

When we first arrived in Canada, back in March 1996 from South Africa, we left a country that was familiar, where we had routes, purpose, and a sense of belonging and arrived in a new place. A different place. We arrived from a country with two seasons; extremely hot or rain: to a country with four seasons. Snow was a new learning for us. Canada was not yet home and was still very foreign and strange; yet familiar, at the same time. Deuteronomy talks about the promise that the People of God will be led by God to a good land. A land with flowing streams, and under-

ground springs. A land that is bursting with vegetation, produce and where you can eat without ever worrying about food running out. This is a land tremendous abundance and

life. A land of promise, opportunity and potential not yet realised by the People of God. Whether we have lived in Canada our whole lives or Canada as our chosen home, how does this country keep providing you with resources and opportunity that awaits to be discovered? In a year where many have had employment suspended or terminated. A year, where people of colour and creed who have been disproportionately affected by COVID19; may we seek opportunities to play an active role in creating a more sustainable way of living on this fragile earth, our island home.

Ladner brothers Rhys (left) and Will Saleken star in the Dummy Factor, a feature film written, directed and produced by their uncle O. Corbin Saleken. It has already received awards and nominations at two film festivals.

Ladner brothers star in movie

The Dummy Factor to make its BC debut at New West Film Festival MARK BOOTH

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

Thanks to the multi-talents of their creative uncle, family movies have a whole different meaning to Will and Rhys Saleken. The Ladner brothers star in Vancouver filmmaker O. Corbin Saleken’s second feature movie The Dummy Factor that will be making its B.C. debut at this weekend’s virtual New West Film Festival. The Canadian independent self-funded film has already picked up awards with Corbin earning best director honours at the Deep in the Heart Film Festival in Waco, Texas. It’s nominated for best feature narrative at the Central Alberta Film Festival where Will is also up for best actor for his leading role as Noel. The story is about a boy who investigates the disappearances of some children in his neighbourhood. It’s largely based upon Corbin’s experiences growing up

in Vancouver in the 1980s. He wrote the script about 20 years earlier. The window of opportunity was finally in front of him to proceed with Will and Rhys at the right age to play brothers in the movie. They were 17 and 12 at the time of production. “I knew if I waited one more year Rhys would be in university and he would be having to work,” said Corbin. “You need these bits of incentives where you just make a commitment and once you have done it you really don’t have a choice.” Corbin not only had actors that would work for free, he had access to about $100,000 worth of filming equipment thanks to his job as Film and Video Resource Specialist at Simon Fraser University. He was a one-man crew even though he had a role in the movie too. His duties included writing, directing, producing, cinematography, sound recording, production design, picture

and sound editing, colouring, music, and mixing. The entire production cost $1,200 compared to about $50,000 for his first film — the award-winning Patterson’s Wager — that was screened in festivals across North America. Still, he would never been able to pull it off without the talents of his nephews. They have had small parts in some of Corbin’s other work but never scripted roles. “The big thing with this was would they do it and can they actually act because it is scripted. They would have to learn their lines, act with scenes and other people. Understand to go A to B and arc within a scene and an arc in the entire film,” said Corbin. “I was so impressed with their acting. It was incredible. I can’t believe at how well they were able to just learn their lines and understand the scenes. “Will had never looked at this stuff before but he would just

get it and he was there. Kind of amazing how they were able to do it and be completely natural. Bad acting could be actors being asked to say dialogue they wouldn’t naturally say. That was an important thing.” Rhys is now focused on his studies, majoring in English at Trinity Western University. Will is in Grade 10 at Delta Secondary. He has at least hired an agent and is looking for other acting opportunities. Whatever happens, they both have a lifetime of memories, making a movie with their uncle. “It’s really cool. I don’t really view acting as a serious profession. It’s more for fun,” said Rhys. “My uncle creates that atmosphere where it’s just hanging out and doing a fun project, as opposed to making a serious movie, which is really cool. I also think when I am 30 or 40 and have my own family, it will almost be like a home movie to me.”

Answer: Sometimes Yes and sometimes No. This is a very popular question right now with the drop we have seen in interest rates. Let the number dictate the best way to go. Often times clients can save money by paying their penalty and moving into a lower rate.

Q: What are the benefits of gifting securities

directly to a charitable organization?

Jodi Stokes, Major Giving Manager

dhchfoundation.ca

A: When you donate securities, there are benefits to both you and your favourite charity. By gifting securities including stocks, bonds and mutual funds, you eliminate capital gains tax, you receive a charitable tax receipt for the full current value of the shares, and you get to donate more to your charity of choice. Donating securities is one of the most tax efficient ways to support a cause you care about, and a great way to make a meaningful gift before the end of the year. Before you decide to donate securities directly, we advise you discuss your personal circumstances with your financial advisor to make sure it’s the right way to go for you. If you are interested making a gift of securities to Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation, you can find a transfer form and more information on our website: www.dhchfoundation.ca or please contact the Foundation and we will be happy to assist. If you have questions about gifting securities, please contact Jodi Stokes at: jodi.stokes@dhchfoundation.ca or call (604) 940-9695.

Hi Steve, Good Question. I’m always surprised when people don’t take advantage of things like Rebates. FortisBC offers a vast amount of rebates all year long. They change who, how much and on what appliance, quite regularly but, their focus is on promoting the use of Natural Gas Products. The one constant qualifier is that if you are working with Gas, you need a company or Journeyman who is a Certified Gas Fitter. This Paul Bach will give you safety and piece of mind as well as make sure you are owner compliant and able to claim any appropriate rebates. 604-940-2268 PJB Mechanical employs Qualified, Journeyman, Plumbers and Gas Fitters and we are part of the FortisBC Trade Ally Network. FortisBC currently has seasonal rebates on the cleaning and maintenance of all of your basic home heating appliances, (Fireplaces, Boilers, Tankless Water Heaters), of up to $50 per unit. FortisBC website lists all the rebates available. As an old Poker player once said, “Never leave free money sitting www.PJBmechanical.com on the table”.

Q: My recent investment statements have made me panic. How can I protect my retirement assets when markets are volatile? Ans. My team and I utilize a cash wedge strategy in our clients’ portfolios

which is designed to meet your near-term retirement income needs – while allowing the rest of your portfolio to participate in the market recovery.

We use this cash wedge strategy to: • Help protect against short-term market volatility • Increase liquidity in your portfolio • Reduce the risk of outliving your retirement funds • Increase the potential for future capital appreciation

ANSWER: This company comes into town from back east a few times a year. I had a mother and daughter come in who had an offer from them. I offered $2150 for the gold jewellery they had. This company had offered them $500.00. Another gentleman took silver dollars to them and then came to us. We paid him 300% more than they offered.

Jim Richardson, owner Western Coin and Stamp

A third lady sold gold coins to them and then sent her to us with some remaining coins. The remaining coins had no value .When she asked what we would have paid for the gold coins, she was shocked to find our offer was 25% higher. My firm belief is that you could take your coins or gold to any reputable in the country and get more than these people offer. I believe that we could serve you better and offer more than they could ever hope to.

QUEsTIoN I’ve had my new hearing aids for a few days, but they’re not performing exactly as I would like. Why? ANsWER This is common and nothing to be concerned about! It’s important to remember that adjusting to your new hearing aids will be a gradual process. We advise our clients that it often takes 4-6 visits to our clinic until we have the hearing aids perfectly ﬁt and calibrated for each person and his or her lifestyle. Mark Nickel BC-HIP, BBA Hearing Instrument Practitioner Phone: 604-943-0033 5682 12 Avenue, Tsawwassen www.TsawwassenHearing.com

In addition to getting comfortable with how the hearing aids physically feel, you’ll notice that sounds and noises you may not have heard for quite some time are back. Your ears are now being supported by your new hearing aids; this means that in the ﬁrst few days, many sounds will appear louder than before. Rest assured this will cease to be an issue once your brain gets used to these sounds again. During follow-up visits, we ask our clients to be very honest about what is working well and what could use improvement. Hearing aids are powerful pieces of technology; getting the most out of them requires expertise and commitment from us, and trust and patience from you. Though it can be a process, we’re in it with you all the way to help you hear more out of life.

Q: When are “flu shots” going to be available? Ans. Thank you for this great question. In general, influenza vaccinations are available for administration from late October onwards as the “flu season” runs from approximately mid-November to March. We will be doing vaccinations only by appointment (no “walk-ins”) starting in late October as COVID precautions have impacted how we can safely deliver injections. Call us for an appointment. 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 or assisted living 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 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.

Pumpkins for Polio salutes World Polio Day

With the recent announcement of the World Health Organization that transmission of the wild poliovirus has officially been stopped in all 47 countries of the African region, Rotary and its partners are celebrating this historic and vital step toward global eradication of polio, which is Rotary’s top priority. Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of five. The virus spreads from person-to-person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system. In 1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus campaign and then spearheaded the formation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a partnership of national governments, Rotary International, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the vaccine alliance. After decades of hard

won gains in the region, Rotary offers this latest achievement as proof that strong commitment, coordination, and perseverance can rid the world of polio. From 122 countries in 1988 to now just two, and 350,000 cases to just 102 so far this year, the world stands on the threshold of ridding the world of polio forever. The two remaining countries are Pakistan and Afghanistan. Conflict, along with challenges in reaching mobile populations, had hampered efforts to immunize children there. For most of the past 15 years Rotary has marked this 99.9 per cent success rate of this partnership and need for continued effort to finish the job with World Polio Day, this year on Oct. 24, which commemorates the birth of Jonas Salk, who, in 1955, led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis. To salute World Polio Day, Rotary Club of Ladner is holding Pumpkins for Polio sales event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ladner Rotary tent in the parking lot of

Tsawwassen Mills mall with pandemic health and safety protocols followed. All proceeds will go to the End Polio campaign. For every US$3 donated to the campaign, a child is fully protected against polio and is given a chance to lead a fulfilling life and, when matched twice by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, three children are spared the life crippling, sometimes lethal, disease. To date, Rotary has contributed more than US$1.8 billion and countless volunteer hours to the protection of more than 2.5 billion children around the world. Rotary has also played a major role in decisions by donor governments to contribute more than US$8 billion to the polio eradication effort. Canada has supported this campaign over time with US$640 million. To sustain this progress, and protect all children from polio, Rotary has committed to raising US$50 million more per year in support of global polio eradication efforts.

A rare quiet year for Schuss

After first summer off in ages lacrosse standout waiting for return of NLL MARK BOOTH

Pens draft Pt. Roberts forward MARK BOOTH

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

Lukas Svejkovsky is a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 18-year-old Point Roberts native was selected in the fourth round (108th overall) in last week’s NHL Entry Draft. The 5-foot-10 165-pound forward split last season between Vancouver and Medicine Hat of the Western Hockey League, finishing the campaign with 18 goals and 20 assists in 52 games. Although born in the US, Svejkovsky spent his entire youth career in BC including three seasons with the Delta Hockey Academy’s U15 and U16 Elite teams. He then joined the BC Hockey League’s Wenatchee Wild of the BC Hockey League where he managed 11 points in 16 games as a 16-year-old. His father is former NHLer Yogi Svejkovsky who is now a highlyrespected skills coach and is currently guiding the DHA’s U17 Prep team. He also serves as director of coaching development.

Some shooting practice at the Ladner outdoor box will have to do these days for Logan Schuss. The homegrown standout has re-signed with the Vancouver Warriors for the coming National Lacrosse League season. When exactly that will be is unknown at this time. COVID-19 wiped out the remainder of the 2019/20 campaign back in April and it may take a vaccine for the NLL to be back up and running again. A bubble season isn’t realistic with many of the players working in their hometowns and flying to their respective teams for weekend games. “Usually we get training camp going later this month, then the season starts in December. I can’t see anything happening before the new year and after that it’s anyone’s guess,” said Schuss. “It’s such a unique league in that players come in from all over North America and lot of guys have jobs where they live. A bubble (format) won’t work in that sense. There are just so many variables that go into it.” Not only was the NLL campaign cut short but the entire 2020 Western Lacrosse Association season never got started. It meant Schuss had his first free summer for as long as he could remember. “I don’t think I have ever had a summer off from lacrosse. It was probably when I was a baby being pushed around at my dad’s (Ladner Pioneers) games,” he laughed. “It was almost a blessing in a way that I could take the time to give my body six to seven months of recovery. I’ve dealt with a little bit of injuries the last couple of NLL seasons. It was nice just to let the body relax

Vancouver Warriors standout Logan Schuss is wondering when his next game is going to be. and just get to square one where I could maybe start more training and get back into it. “I became a member at Beach Grove and probably have been golfing three to four days a week, although I can’t say my game is any better. But there has been a lot of family time and hanging out with friends.” If there is no opportunity to play box (indoor) lacrosse in 2021, the 29-year-old isn’t ruling out a return to the field version of the game which he enjoyed a decorated collegiate career at Ohio State University. The Major Lacrosse League and Premier Lacrosse League both managed to have “bubble” seasons this summer. Schuss played over 100 games for the

now defunct Ohio Machine of the MLL several years ago. “I would have to work it out with my job and my availability but it’s something I have been exploring with the MLL and the PLL. They had their bubble seasons and did a great job of promoting lacrosse. There were a lot of games on the big TV networks and it was exciting lacrosse,” he said. “I did it for three years and then life became a little bit too busy travelling across North America every weekend. They can do the bubble season since the majority of the players are from the U.S. and where about five percent are from Canada. I don’t know if I can see myself not playing lacrosse for two

years. If push came to shove I would have to get my reps somewhere.” There are certainly enough NLL players living in the Lower Mainland, especially on the Warriors’ roster, to be having informal workouts and scrimmages at say the Langley Events Centre, however, it’s easier said than done. “I’ve been refreshing my email every couple of hours for any possibility of getting together as a small group, but there are regulations in place,” Schuss added. “The league wants to keep it a level playing field. My stick has been close to me. Guys are just doing stuff on their own and hopefully staying in shape for whatever call happens.”

BALCOME, Darlene Ann (nee; Samson) May 14, 1954 - September 22, 2020 It is with great sadness, that I announce the passing of my beautiful, loving wife, Darlene Balcome on September 22, 2020. Darlene was born and raised in Lloydminster, Sask. She met the love of her life in 1974 and was married to Russell Balcome, a year later in Lloydminster, Alberta and they resided in Edmonton for 12 years. They moved from Edmonton to Vancouver in 1987, where they have resided for over 33 years, most recently in Ladner, BC. Darlene was very proud of being a CPA and worked with property development firms, advertising agencies and finally at a BC Hydro subsidiary until she retired in 2003. We lived our retirement lives to the fullest, spending half our time at our winter home in Arizona and travelling extensively to every part of the world. Darlene loved the adventure and allure of travel, particularly cruises as a safe way to see the world. She particularly loved the incredible levels of service and care both on the cruises and at our wonderful resort in Mexico. This always provided a timely break from everyday living. Darlene was predeceased by her father (Walter Samson), mother (Malinda Samson), brother in law Dale Balcome, and Russell’s parents Russell Sr. and Agnes Balcome.

A mother, grandmother and great-grandmother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence.

Vicky peacefully passed into the arms of our Creator on September 28th, 2020 in Delta, BC at the age of 89.

Vicky (Mama/Nan/GiGi) will be lovingly remembered by her children Rose-Marie, Gerard, Anne-Marie, Jeanne-Marie and their spouses; her grandchildren Jeremy, Joanna, Shari, Stefan, Johann, Ria, Sebastian and Jessica; and her great grandchildren Nikki and Baby Harris. “May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.” Vicky’s Memorial Service will be held on October 16th, 2020 on what would have been her 90th birthday. The service will be held in Good Shepherd Catholic Church, South Surrey (2250 - 150th St, Surrey, British Columbia, V4A 9J3) at 1:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. The service will also be live streamed via http://livefeed.fyinewz.com/channel/handrvideo/index.m3u8 We would love to have you share your memories (photos, stories) of Vicky via email at nanavicky90@gmail.com In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to Daily Bread Ministries or Operation Smile Canada.

She is survived by her husband, Russell, her sister, Geri (Brian) Wicks and brother/sister in laws, Tim Balcome (Kim) and Doug Balcome (Carol), Debbie Balcome and a number of nieces and nephews. We will all miss her dearly, and will never forget her beautiful smile. Donations would be appreciated in lieu of flowers be made to the Delta Hospital foundation: https://dhchfoundation.ca/ We would like to thank Dr Jason Kason and the doctors and staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency in Delta (Ladner), Richmond and Surrey for all their kindness and care.

At Darlene’s request, a private family service will be held in the near future at the Delta Funeral Home. Online condolences may be left at; www.deltafuneral.ca Delta Funeral Home 604-946-6040

MATHISEN, John January 15, 1947 − October 4, 2020 In Memory and in celebration of someone that made this world a better and brighter place. John passed peacefully at home with Kath and Marlene at his side. John was loyal and loving, always ready to lend a hand or go on an adventure. He crammed a hundred years’ worth of experiences into his shortened lifetime. John is mourned by his sister, Kath; his life partner, Marlene Storey; many Mathisen cousins; and countless friends. We are so grateful for the videos, emails, texts and visitors in his final days. He felt so loved. A celebration of life will be held next year. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either Surrey Memorial or St. Paul’s Hospital.

SMITH, John (“Ted”) Edward It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of John (“Ted”) Edward Smith on September 10, 2020 following an extended illness. Ted was born in Lacombe, Alberta on November 25, 1929; he moved from Ponoka, Alberta to Minnedosa, Manitoba to Regina and settled in Winnipeg where he met his future bride, Elizabeth (Betty) Gertrude Draward. Ted and Betty were married on June 16, 1951 and stayed in Winnipeg where they had four children, Laurie, Barbara, Marsha and Craig. His career in pharmaceutical and medical sales took the family from Winnipeg to Toronto to Montreal and finally to Tsawwassen, B.C. where they settled in 1967. Ted was a proud Dad having all his children graduate from university and an even prouder Grandpa of eight grandchildren and 15 (soon to be 16) great grandchildren. Memorable times with all of them included making his famous pancakes at Shuswap Lake, hosting family dinners every Sunday as well as many trips and special celebrations. Ted and Betty had a great community of friends. They enjoyed playing bridge together and always looked forward to their annual New Year’s dinner. In their 69 years together they lived full and meaningful lives with family and friends as well as enjoying trips to Hawaii, spending winters in Phoenix, travelling to Europe and enjoying numerous cruises. Ted valued service to his various communities. He was a proud member of the Masonic Lodge for 60 years and spent a term serving as Master of Ancient Light Lodge #88. After retirement from B.C. Ferries, Ted spent many years driving for the Masonic Cancer Car service. St. David’s Anglican Church in Tsawwassen was another of his communities where he and Betty participated in all possible aspects of the St. David’s family which he thoroughly enjoyed. He is the past president of both the Tsawwassen Lawn Bowling Club and the Senior Men’s Division of the Tunnel Town Curling Club. When the curling season was over, it was time to play golf with the Early Birds at Tsawwassen Golf Club which he enjoyed well into his 80’s. One of his best stories was how he was selected to carry the Olympic Torch leading up to the 1988 Olympics, and it was his unsurpassed honour to carry The Torch with his family with him. A family memorial service, following COVID 19 capacity limits, is being held at St. David’s Anglican Church at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 17 followed by the committal of ashes at Boundary Bay Cemetery. The family requests in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Delta Hospital.

FOXWELL, Doreen E. September 13, 1937 − August 13, 2020 Doreen Emily Foxwell (Loney) was born in Sooke, BC on September 13, 1937, to Stanley and Mary (Oxenham) Loney; eldest of three siblings, Ed Loney (Rich, Blaine, Reid) and Marilyn Sparkes Emsley (David Lumley, Susan Thomas, Selena Sparkes). Doreen spent her formative years growing up in Kelowna BC, and upon graduation from high school attended the Pitman School of Business in Kelowna, where she acquired the business skills to work at many interesting jobs during her working years. A love of people and travel brought her to work at Canadian Pacific Airlines as a reservations agent for the better part of 30 years until retirement. Doreen loved to travel, dance, sing, had a natural sense of style, humour, and laughter. She will be missed by many long time friends that span a lifetime. Doreen is predeceased by her loving husband, Derek Wickham Foxwell, her parents, and her brother. She is survived by her sister, Marilyn; and children, Trevor Wickham Foxwell (Jody), Alison Lewis (Richard), and Dean Wickham Foxwell. She was a loving grandmother to Emily, Sarah, Kinsey, Jayden, Derek, Lauren and Justin. She will also be missed by nieces and nephews. Doreen lost her 13−year battle with dementia and Alzheimer’s, on August 13, 2020, one month before her 83rd birthday. Until the very end, Doreen continued to laugh. A private family memorial service has been held, and private internment will take place on December 7, 2020. Rest in peace, Doreen, we love you and miss you. You live on in the eyes of your children.

STOIBER, Nancy Elizabeth February 21, 1964 − October 7, 2020 It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to Nancy Elizabeth Stoiber (nee Person). We said goodbye on the night of Wednesday, October 7, 2020. The greatest gift we have is that we all were able to be at her side talking, laughing, crying and every once in awhile Nancy would grin that mischievous grin, or crack that big warm smile. Nancy’s birthplace of Winnipeg, Manitoba on February 21, 1964, seems to be a place where exceptionally loving people come from. By far and away Nancy’s biggest pride and joy is our twin boys, Nikolas and Alexander. She will be keeping tabs on you boys so keep making her proud as you already have. We are blessed to have so many family and friends surrounding us: family from all over the world, friends from all over the world, and an amazing community in Boundary Bay, Delta. Thank you Nancy for making such a big impact on our lives. You will always be part of us. To honour Nancy, consider making a donation to the BC Cancer Research Agency − Lung Cancer. Nancy’s work families, among others, included Ballet BC, Richmond Gateway Theatre, and the biggest family of all − BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. A celebration of life and service will be planned, although made a little more complicated because of 2020 realities. We love you forever Nancy.

THOMSON, Jack Frederick July 26, 1934 − September 21, 2020 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Frederick Thomson. Jack passed away peacefully after a valiant struggle on September 21, 2020, at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, BC. Jack was born in Toronto, Ontario on July 26, 1934, to Leslie Thomson and Georgina Neuman. In 1952, at the age of 17, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy where he served on the HMCS Haida in the Korean War. Upon leaving the navy he moved to Nanaimo, BC, where he worked many odd jobs, one of them being seen fishing the west coast of BC. It was in Nanaimo where he met his future wife Joyce (nee Waters). After marriage, they found their way to Vancouver, BC, in September 1964, where he trained to be a barber. Shortly after, they moved to Ladner once he had established his barbering career at Tsawwassen Barbers where he became known by many as ’Jack the Barber’. Jack with his seamanship skills and his previous fishing experience, purchased his own gillnetter in the 1970s and had a successful fishing career for many years. Jack was a fun−loving, kind and generous person. He always had a joke to tell and somehow never forgot the punchline. He had a positive outlook on life even through hard times. He is survived and will be deeply missed by his two daughters, Raeanne (Rob) and Lori (Joel); and his five grandchildren, Alyssa, Cassidy, Zach, Teah, and Tyler. There will be no formal service held. His family and close friends will celebrate his life at a later date.
