More than 60 Tsawwassen residents have come together to combat motorists using dangerous speeds to careen down local streets.

Last Saturday, the first of many signs advocating slower vehicle speeds in Beach Grove were put up by a Beach Grove residents’ group called “Always 30 in Beach Grove.”

The self-funded campaign is designed to serve as a reminder to drivers to respect the community’s speed limit of 30 km/h. Sixty more signs will be distributed to Beach Grove residents this coming weekend, Saturday Nov. 14 and Sunday Nov. 15.

Yvonne Anderson, one of the founding members of the residents group, told the Optimist she has heard from residents that

We are looking forward to getting you back on the road safely.

drivers can come barreling down 16th Ave. at speeds as high as 70 km/h.

“Our children’s safety is more important than whatever you’re hurrying to get to,” said Anderson.

“One kid gets killed and that will change anyone’s life forever.”

Anderson, who says she typically doesn’t get involved in these kinds of projects, made an exception for the residents’ group. She said she has a personal connection to the issue as her sister was killed in a traffic accident involving a motorist driving too fast on local roads.

“I know how it affected my mother for the rest of her life,” she said.

A press release issued by the residents’ group on Monday states Beach Grove can be especially precarious for pedestrians due to the area’s narrow streets and laneways.

Few of these roads have

sidewalks, which forces pedestrians and pets to share the roadways with local traffic.

While the residents group recognizes the City of Delta has reduced the speed limit in the area, the group has found it is often not adhered to.

The release also mentioned that while the recently installed advanced left-turn light on 56th Ave. at 16th has made life easier for residents, it has also made the community a more attractive shortcut.

“I would say 50 per cent of the problem is our own Beach Grove residents and the other 50 are those people that have recognized that it’s great to cut through Beach Grove,” Anderson said.

The group was created almost entirely through social media shortly after the summer with support from the City of Delta and the Delta Police.

The letter adds that it’s impossible to calculate the hours of time Taggart has contributed to the Legion, but estimates from hours devoted to the meat draw, another event Taggart helped organize, his volunteer time easily surpasses 3,000 hours logged over the past decade.

Taggart says while he does feel ‘thanked’ for his years of service, he never expected to be.

“It’s something that you do, you don’t expect the recognition. I’m no different than anybody else in here,” he said.

“We all do it because we love what we do and we love helping.”

Legion members Olwen Demidoff and Dave Olson were also awarded with their Life Membership awards during the meeting.

Have Your Say

A Ladner Legion member has been bestowed the highest honour ever awarded at Branch 61.

At a recent Legion executive meeting Bob Taggart received the Palm Leaf Award, the first of its kind to be awarded in the branch’s 92-year history. The palm leaf will join two other Legion medals on Taggart’s jacket beside his Life Membership ribbon he received in 1994 and the Meritorious Service Medal awarded in 2010.

Despite his many years of service, Taggart said he never expected to receive the award.

“If you had told me 42 years ago I’d be getting this later I would have said you’re full of it,” Taggart said. “I just did what I enjoy doing and I keep on doing it.”

Elections BC has completed the final count for the 2020 provincial election.

At the conclusion of the final count, which was finished on Sunday, the BC NDP holds 57 seats, BC Liberals 28 and BC Green Party 2.

There will be a judicial recount in the riding of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky to determine that seat. Currently Liberal incumbent Jordan Sturdy has won the riding with 9,216 votes with Green Party candidate Jeremy Valeriote second with 9,175 votes. Valeriote was declared the winner on election night.

In Delta South, Ian Paton finished with 12,828 votes (51.70 per cent of popular vote). NDP candidate Bruce Reid finished with 8,404 votes (33.87 per cent of popular vote), while Green candidate Peter van der

Velden finished with 3,581 votes (14.43 per cent of popular vote).

In an emailed statement to the Optimist, Paton said he was honoured to have been re-elected to the BC Legislature for a second term.

“I am also humbled to be the first MLA in nearly 20 years to have received over 50 per cent of the votes cast in Delta South,” said Paton. “My respect goes to the Elections BC officials for conducting B.C.’s snap election with relative ease during this global pandemic. Thank you for upholding the integrity of our democracy.

“Thank you to Bruce Reid and Peter van der Velden for putting their names forward this election. Running for public office isn’t easy and I want to commend them for stepping up on such short notice. I am excited to continue serving our wonderful community for the next four years in Victoria

and will continue fighting for the issues that matter most to us south of the Fraser.”

In Delta North, NDP incumbent Ravi Kahlon finished with 12,215 votes (56.78 per cent of the popular vote), Liberal candidate Jet Sunner finished with 7,179 votes (33.37 per cent of the popular vote) and Green candidate Neema Manral finished with 2,120 votes (9.86 per cent of the popular vote).

“I’m delighted with the result. It was a lot of work over the last three and a half years and the message of Premier Horgan, which is you can take care of people through COVID and help the economy at the same time, really resonated with people, so we have a lot of work to do, but looking forward to the challenge,” said Kahlon.

Kahlon said there is no indication yet when the Legislature will be recalled or what the next steps are.

Delta to receive $7 million in COVID-19 funding 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 City of Delta will receive a little over $7 million in COVID-19 funding distributed under the federal Safe Restart Agreement to B.C.’s local governments.

This federal/provincial funding ($425 million in total) will support facility reopening and operational costs along with local emergency response.

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) voiced support for federal funding from Canada and an allocation delivery approach in April of this year. This followed upon UBCM’s outreach to the provincial government on the financial impacts on local governments due to COVID-19, and

the decision by the province to provide liquidity to local government through a package of amendments to the property tax framework. UBCM engaged in continuing discussions with the Province over the summer with regard to revenue streams impacted by COVID-19 as well as new expenditures that local government face as a result the pandemic.

Funding details are still being developed for additional funding through the Safe Restart Agreement. This includes additional funding for BC local governments, including $100 million to support local governments as they address the needs of vulnerable populations and $15 million to improve development approval processes.

Delta discussed the funding proposal at its council meeting Monday afternoon.

Violent crime down in Delta IAN JACQUES

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

Delta police are reporting a decrease in violent crimes in the community.

According to 2020 third quarter statistics released by the DPD this week, violent crimes or crimes against persons in Delta, such as assaults, sex assaults and robberies, continued to be lower than the same time last year. From July through September, 185 offences were recorded by police, as compared to 246 at this time last year.

WHY CHOOSE 505-JUNK

“We are very fortunate and ensure that this money is spent as the requirements state,” said Mayor George Harvie.

It does provide us with some relief, but again, it is one-time money and we have to ensure it is not used as a regular stream of revenue.”

Harvie said council will be directing staff to report back to council during 2021 budget discussions as to where the funding will be earmarked.

“I have always said I’m worried about next year insofar as the difficulties that families could be facing, so I want to ensure that our community service groups can do more,” said Harvie.

Meanwhile, Delta is leading the march once again in seeking from the province better COVID-19 data at the municipal level.

“We’re very pleased to see violent crime trending downward,” said Supt. Harj Sidhu, head of operations at Delta Police. “Year to date this category of offence is down 21 per cent overall, a significant decrease that reverses an upward trend from the previous two years.”

Commercial break and enters are up slightly, with 29 compared to 24 at this time last year. Year to date the statistics are nearly identical.

Residential break and enters are up slightly with 41 compared to 39 at this time last year, however, year to date this offence category is down about 19 per cent.

Collisions remain down in the third quarter as well, with 232 either reported to or attended by police

BOOK JUNK REMOVAL

Harvie said he has spoken and received endorsements from mayors in Langley, White Rock and Surrey to write a letter to the provincial Ministry of Health once again asking for specific data insofar as geographic areas so all the municipalities can get a better idea on where the COVID-19 cases are.

“This way we can all put our resources, like bylaw officers into the critical hotspots in the Fraser Health Authority,” said Harvie. “Fraser Health has asked for Delta’s support to have bylaw officers and Delta police out checking food establishments and ensuring that health and safety plans are in place. This is such an important time for us. Everyone needs to do their part to ensure we get these numbers down.”

in the third quarter this year. Overall this is down 25 per cent compared to this time last year. Violation tickets are also down, with 2,170 handed out in the third quarter, compared to 3,347 this time last year.

Unfortunately, thefts from auto have gone against the trend toward decreases in crime, and DPD have seen a notable increase in this crime type in the third quarter, to 210 incidents, compared to 169 at this time last year. That’s enough to boost this type of crime up by six per cent year to date, compared to 2019.

Additionally, as was previously reported, incidents of cybercrime are up 15 per cent compared to the same time frame last year.

MATERIALS NOT OUTSIDE?

Seniors study paints bleak picture of COVID-19 pandemic grateful for actions taken by the province when COVID-19 first struck Vancouver care homes in March saying she believes many lives were saved.

Mackenzie went on to say that as residents and family members look ahead to many more months’ restrictions they are asking for more time with their loved ones.

“What are we keeping them safe for if it is not to enjoy the time they have left with the ones they love? While COVID-19 has tragically claimed the lives of 151 residents of long-term care and assisted living, more than 4,500 other residents have died from something other than COVID19,” Mackenzie said. “In many cases, they spent their final months, weeks and days in relative isolation, unable to spend time with those they loved most.”

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

A new study has found the constraints on visitation to B.C.’s care homes to protect against COVID-19 are having their own negative health impacts on the elderly.

Last week the Office of the Seniors Advocate released the results of Staying Apart to Stay Safe, a province-wide survey on the impact of visit restrictions at long-term care and assisted living homes.

The report reflects the experience of more than 13,000 residents and their family members over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie spoke to the survey’s findings saying the visit restrictions were imposed out of care for seniors, but noted there is a need to balance the limitations.

Mackenzie said she is

The report points to signs of negative health impacts on residents, one example being the substantial increase in the use of antipsychotic medication since visit restrictions were implemented. Also, clinical assessments show an increase in unexplained weight loss and worsening of mood or symptoms of depression.

The survey found that most family members and residents support some visit restrictions during the pandemic but they have their recommendations going forward. Suggestions include allowing residents and family members to visit more often with one other person and that they should have a say in the decision-making process.

Val Windsor re-elected school board chair CAMERON THOMSON

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

The Delta School Board’s inaugural meeting saw the election of several positions and the appointment of representatives within the board.

The meeting, held via Zoom call on Tuesday, Nov. 3, saw the reelection of chairperson Val Windsor who was first elected to the board in 2011. Windsor then called for nominations to be her vice chairperson

who the board elected trustee Daniel Boisvert.

Windsor moved on to seek nominations for a BC school trustees’ representative. The call was answered by former NDP candidate for Delta South and trustee Bruce Reid who nominated trustee Laura Dixon. Reid’s nomination was seconded by Boisvert with no other nominations.

The meeting went on to elect trustee Erica Beard to be the BC School Trustees

Association representative with Nick Kanakos elected as the alternate BCSTA representative.

“I’d like to say thank you to my fellow trustees for giving me the honour of representing you again as your chair,” Windsor said as the meeting came to a close. “It’s been an interesting year and I’m so proud of the way our staff has risen to meet the challenges. I think our students are being very well served by everything that’s going on in our classrooms.”

Delta suspends indoor and aquatic fitness classes 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 City of Delta has suspended all indoor and aquatic fitness classes.

The suspensions come after Provincial Medical Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry issued a series of regional health orders and strong recommendations on Saturday that will be in effect for two weeks.

“The City of Delta is suspending all indoor fitness (spin classes, yoga, dance etc.) and aquatic fitness classes,” said Delta in a news release. “The

City of Delta is reviewing safety plans currently guiding all other recreational activities and will be making further announcements shortly.

“Anyone registered in a class will receive an automatic credit (or refund, if requested). Thank you for your cooperation in supporting these important public health measures.”

Henry’s focus on a rare Saturday news conference was on social gatherings, travel, group physical activities, indoor group activities and workplaces.

The new directives will be in effect in the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health regions, with the exception of the Central Coast in Bella Coola Valley.

“Right now, it is very important that everyone in these areas of Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health significantly reduce their social interactions,” Henry said.

“There are to be no social gatherings of any size with anyone other than your immediate household.”

Deltans in awe of snow geese sightings CAMERON THOMSON

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

This year Deltans could see a record number of snow geese passing through the Fraser River estuary on their migration cycle and if the number of photos and comments on social media are any indication, residents are in awe of the spectacle.

Dr. Sean Boyd, research scientist with the Wildlife Research Division, Science and Technology Branch, Environment and Climate Change Canada, has been researching the birds that visit the Fraser and Skagit deltas for more than 30 years.

Boyd said every single snow goose Deltans have seen in the past few weeks all hail from a place called Wrangel Island, about 140 km off the coast of mainland Russia.

Wrangel Island is Russia’s last remaining breeding ground for the Lesser Snow Goose. In the 1950s and 1960s the Wrangel Island spring population was estimated at 300,000 to 400,000 birds, but thanks to climate change, those numbers have more than doubled.

The spring population this year on Wrangel Island hit an all-time high with an estimated 685,000 birds. Estimates from Russian biologists indicate as many as 300,000 goslings fledged and

moved off the island, bringing the total to nearly one million leaving the island.

The birds start their approximately 4,500 km journey from Wrangel Island in August or early September and arrive at the Fraser River delta around late September/early October. The birds eat their fill of bulrush rhizomes until midDecember when they gradually move down to the Skagit delta, approximately 100 km south in Washington State.

The geese then stay in the Skagit delta for up to two months before their return to the Fraser Delta by mid-March.

Towards the end of April, they leave for their two-month journey back to Russia making stops in Alaska and Russia.

When they get back to Wrangel Island, Boyd said that due to an interesting quirk of soil composure, Russian biologists can tell exactly which birds ate in the Fraser delta.

“Our birds are the only ones that are still feeding in the marsh on rhizomes and when they do that they stick their head in the mud, they get their faces all muddy and the mud has a lot of iron oxides which stains their facial feathers orange,” Boyd said.

Boyd says there are several reasons for biologists to keep apprised of the bird’s tendencies.

“Birds are eating the rhizomes and they can excavate fairly large areas of

OLAF KRINGHAUG PHOTO

Another reason is the geese’s impact

feeding on local farms, especially in the spring when they return and farmers are growing cover crops. Lastly is the threat the birds pose to aircraft at YVR airport, explaining airports can struggle with keeping young geese out of aircraft flight paths.

Say “No” To Roberts Bank Container Terminal Two (RBT2) in Delta Will the estuary remain a home to birds, salmon whales and wildlife? Not if Terminal 2 is built: Endangered Orca Whales further threatened, perhaps driving them to extinction.

Already declining Fraser River salmon stocks further depleted Destruction of critical feeding grounds for millions of migratory shorebirds of the Pacific Flyway, Canada’s Most Important Bird Area.

Wildlife Habitat will be destroyed - caused by a Not Needed Man-Made Island for Terminal 2

T2 Roberts Bank

.

Tell the Trudeau Government and Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson to reject the second Container Terminal on Roberts Bank that: • • • • • •

Requires dredging and filling the estuary for a new man-made island – the size of 250 football fields - 9 times the size of Granville Island.

Doubles port truck traffic on highways and through the Massey tunnel.

Industrializes our communities and puts scarce farmland at greater risk.

If you care, take action to oppose Terminal 2 Sign the petition to the House of Commons:

https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-2828 And Support the Cities of Delta and Richmond who have already voted to oppose Terminal 2.

Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

P

eople living in care homes are more afraid of dying of loneliness than of COVID-19.

That is the sentiment of B.C. seniors’ advocate Isobel Mackenzie in releasing the results of a province-wide survey last week on the impact of visit restrictions at long-term and assisted living homes.

According to Mackenzie, these comments were echoed by hundreds of family members who participated in the survey.

“The comments we heard from hundreds of family members is a greater fear of death from loneliness because of pandemic rules that limit visits,” she said.

And while Mackenzie notes that provincial health officials have her profound gratitude for their quick and comprehensive actions at the beginning of the pandemic, and many lives were saved, residents and families recognize that the pandemic will continue for many more months and the survey results are clear, they are all asking for more time with their loved ones.

She says that 16 per cent of respondents support the current one-visitor policy and that most want longer and more frequent visits, with an overwhelming majority saying visits should be more private, without barriers, and that touching should be allowed.

Mackenzie goes onto point out that the visit restrictions are in place to ensure those living in long-term care or assisted living are safe, but it begs the question, “what are we keeping them safe for if it is not to enjoy the time they have left with the ones they love?”

Mackenzie’s report suggests that the system failed to recognize the essential care some family members were providing.

She is calling for visitation rules to be relaxed and for residents and their family members to have a greater say in decisions. Provincial health officials have already indicated they are prepared to take steps in that direction.

Those steps can’t happen soon enough as far as I’m concerned.

Our seniors and their families deserve better.

Our shopping choices will have big impact on our local retailers this holiday season

T

he ex-owner of Albany Books in Tsawwassen told me years ago, “Amazon is taking over the world.” It was a simple statement, but it stuck with me, because it appears she’s right.

In 2019 41 per cent of holiday gifts were bought on line and 37 per cent of Canadian households had Amazon Prime memberships.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see those stats double in 2020.

Mall shopping is very depressing these days due to long line ups, limited stock, no deep discounts and COVID19 worries. Scenes of people weighed down with big parcels have been replaced with delivery trucks flitting around our neighbourhoods like buzzing bees.

Home delivery is super-efficient, but the carbon footprint is huge. We needed a new toilet seat, only available online.

It arrived in two days, but wow the packaging was intense. A box within a box with air cushion bubble wrap and layers of foam that couldn’t be recycled, all for something made of

plastic.

Delivery service is not without its failures.

A friends’ son asked for a very expensive Lego set for Christmas. She told him she couldn’t afford it but secretly ordered it on Amazon. Last weekend the doorbell rang and her son answered, sitting on the doormat unwrapped with a big sticker on it was his Star Wars Razor Crest Lego kit.

Take note Amazon you just ruined a mum’s Christmas morning surprise.

Local businesses meet the need for safe and efficient shopping during the pandemic. Think before you click, ask yourself can I get that here in

Tsawwassen or Ladner?

Buy a gift certificate from your favourite local shop, restaurant or service. Delta is a part of the Support Local BC campaign, which was set up to help small local businesses create cash flow during the pandemic. The holidays are a perfect time to take part.

Head over to the welovedelta website and follow the links to some of your favourite businesses. Gift certificates range from $10 to $100, and they never expire. It’s easy for retailers to join, and it’s free.

Let’s get creative with our holiday gifts, send flowers to friends who you can’t entertain this year, or buy a gift certificate to a favourite local restaurant so that when the pandemic is over you and your friends can use it together.

I’ll support local this year because it might guarantee my favourite businesses will be here to provide great products and services in the future, and that’s the greatest gift of all.

Remember all year long

Editor: Re: Remembrance Day 2020 On Remembrance Day we are (were) reminded yet again that no freedom is so outrageously and so often abused as the freedom to do nothing.

So not just on this one special occasion, but throughout the year, we should all perhaps reflect on some words written during the Second World War in the form of a poem whose authorship remains disputed,

but whose sentiment remains true and eloquent to this day and always: “It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us the freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, Who has given us the

right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn that same flag!”

Edmund Burke perhaps said it best when he observed: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Lest we forget!

E.W. Bopp

Please pause and remember Editor: I’m 10 years too young to have been mobilized for The Second World War, but as a child in Hove on England’s South coast, I well remember seeing the dog fights over the Channel as my mother dragged me and my baby brother to the air raid shelter with the other

women and children.

Food was strictly rationed, homes and streets were blacked out, young men were in the forces or other essential service, older men were in the home guard, and women were doing all manner of essential work, or in the WVS (women’s voluntary service).

The threat of invasion was real, and in my view sadly misrepresented by shows like Dad’s Army. It is good that once a year we pause to remember lives lost in the ageless struggles for power and resources, and to respect one another, as citizens of this fragile earth.

Humbled to give back and remember

Editor: Re: editor’s Remembrance Day column (Nov. 5) Thank you very, very much for your article.

I am born in The Netherlands and without the assistance of Canadians, Americans, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and many more countries we would never had the freedom as we have it today.

I moved with my little daughter Zaza from Thailand (where I have been working for 14 years) to Canada only 16 months ago.

Last week I volunteered for the Ladner Legion promoting a poppy stand. Those two hours there gave me time to realize how lucky my family is

and millions of Europeans are. I felt humbled standing there at Freshco to do something (simple) and give back to Canadians. try to transfer my knowledge about the Second World War to my 13-year-old Delta Secondary child.

My family in The Netherlands did suffer like many other Europeans.

But it is hard, young generations are not triggered so easy when it comes to (recent) history. They do not use their Internet time to gather information about ‘Past Tense’.

I do not blame them: it has been a challenging year for young people and us, adults as well, but we will get through this. No victory without a battle.

Dirk Vanbeek

Editor: Thanks to the Delta Optimist for their excellent coverage, with pictures and stories, of the local Veterans who took an active part in the Second World War. There are not many of these Veterans left who fought in the trenches of Europe, or who challenged the enemy bombers that tried to destroy the English people and their country. These Veterans offered their lives to protect their own democratic principles and their people who believed in human cooperation and individual freedom as the best path to human survival and

evolution.

The human structure contains greed and the lust for power to obtain it, from their early struggle to survive with other denizens of the earth. As humans evolved with their knowledge of selfawareness that enabled them to understand the earth’s structure and the use of its complex parts, they realized that many minds working together could provide the answers that were needed to support the teeming growth of their own kind, to survive on the limited resources that the earth can provide.

‘Avenger’ leaves note for sleeping ferry passenger South Delta Crime Beat The purpose of the Crime Beat is to educate and inform the public about some of the property crime trends occurring in South Delta and other files of interest. If you see anything occurring that you believe to be suspicious, call 911 for inprogress crimes and emergencies or 604-946-4411 for other assistance.

The following are some of the calls Delta police responded to in the previous week:

TSAWWASSEN

*Nov. 8, 11 p.m., Ferry Terminal: Complainant reported that he was asleep in his vehicle on the ferry when he woke up to a note on his vehicle. The complainant advised the note stated he was being watched and should be very careful and was signed from

“the Avenger.” Police spoke to the complainant who advised that his car did not have any obvious damage and believed he was being “messed with,” although he was concerned something could have been done to his vehicle. The complainant did not see or hear anyone attribute to the note on the ferry. *Nov. 6: English Bluff Road: Complainant reported hearing an “explosion” at an elementary school.

Delta’s farming island needs better water SANDOR GYARMATI

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

The farming community on Westham Island hopes to get better water.

City council recently awarded a $52,000 contract for a consultant to help come up with an irrigation improvement strategy for the area, which has not had a consistently reliable supply of good, quality fresh water.

A civic report notes the areas serviced by Delta’s irrigation system is gradually expanding as improvements are identi-

fied and implemented, but Westham Island is one that has not, in recent years, benefitted from irrigation system improvements.

“In mid-to-late summer, the Fraser River salinity can be quite high near the river intakes that feed west Ladner and Westham Island, which makes the water unsuitable for irrigation. The bulk of Delta’s irrigation water supply during late summer is provided by the Tasker Pump Station, located in the Tilbury area,” the report explains.

“However, it can be quite

challenging to convey irrigation water from Tilbury to west Ladner and Westham Island due to the flat low lying terrain of the agricultural area. In order to improve the availability of fresh water in these areas a consultant is being engaged to determine an effective conveyance strategy and identify key upgrades.”

Several million dollars in funding for the project will be provided from an upcoming MK Delta Lands development contribution.

That contribution was

promised as part of a previous industrial development proposal, which was approved.

The civic report also notes irrigation infrastructure projects typically have a lengthy permit process with senior levels of government, which may be further delayed due to COVID-19.

Having a strategy ready is seen as a necessary step to prepare early designs for permit application submissions.

In a letter earlier this year to federal Minster of Infrastructure and Communities Catherine McKenna, Delta Farmers Institute president Peter Guichon said an irrigation project for the island is an ideal candidate for infrastructure funding.

Guichon said for the last several years they have been working with the City of Delta on a proposed project for the 2,250-acre island which has the most fertile farm-

land in Canada.

Noting the lack of a reliable source of irrigation water is a key challenge, Guichon said their proposed infrastructure plan is closely aligned with food security and climate change.

“We are at a stage where we are shovel ready to move forward with implementation of the project, although we still require additional funding, therefore we are asking for a contribution from the Government of Canada for approximately $5 million (equal to about 50 per cent of the capital cost of the project),” he wrote.

Listing economic and environmental benefits in the DFI’s submission, Guichon added, “The community has been working on a funding strategy which would include community driven resources plus outside funding. Contributions of funds from the com-

munity looks promising, although an additional $4 million to $5 million needs to be secured.”

The DFI’s submission also pointed out that a recent study supported by the B.C. Climate Action Plan analyzed the impacts of climate change and its effect on rising ocean levels and increases in salt water intrusions, which ultimately negatively impacts the suitability of river water surrounding Westham Island.

“Salt buildup in the soil is a major problem. This could be solved with the spring flushing of ditches by the new irrigation system. This study confirmed that the present and future shortage of irrigation water is a key factor undermining the ability of farmers on Westham Island to meet the growing need for locally produced food products and to respond to the public’s growing concern about food security,” he said.

Council opposed to crossing guard removal plan 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 council has big concerns about the school district wanting to remove crossing guards at a couple of school locations.

Council last week agreed to fund the district $103,456 to support the 2020/21 Adult School Crossing Guard Program to deploy 25 adult guards throughout Delta.

However, the decision by the school district to remove one guard each from Richardson Elementary for the crosswalk at 112th Street at 83rd Avenue, as well as South Park Elementary for the 8A Avenue at Gilchrist Drive crosswalk, drew the immediate ire of Coun. Lois Jackson.

She said the Richardson crosswalk, in particular, is a busy one, and asked how the decision was made that a crossing guard is no longer warranted there.

Engineering director Stephen Lan said the request to reallocate guards came

from the school district and that the principal at Richardson notified the city that the school wasn’t able to retain a guard, and that it also wasn’t currently necessary.

The principal at South Park also felt a guard wasn’t necessary, he said.

Jackson said she was shocked council would approve the removal, noting she favours increasing the budget if instead.

“There’s no way I can say to all the people who have children west of 112th Street that their children will not have a crossing guard on the busiest street in North Delta at Nordel shopping centre,” she said.

Mayor George Harvie agreed, wondering how principals have the authority to remove crossing guards at schools.

“I do not support reducing crossing guards. Traffic is increasing, our population is increasing. Our police chief tells us regularly that he’s never seen speeds higher than they are right now, so, I have

Delta council has big concerns about the school district wanting to remove crossing guards at a couple of school locations. a lot of problems with this report, too,” Harvie said.

Coun. Bruce McDonald wondered whether it’s up to council to tell the school board what to do after the board makes its determinations, prompting Harvie to say there’s locations in South Delta, as well, that have nearby full-service pedestrian lights, but vehicles are running them.

“Arthur Drive, behind SaveOn-Foods, there’s another classic. I’ve seen people ignore those lights all the time. And with the darkness that we’re experiencing today, again, I have a lot of problems with that,” he later added.

Following their discussion, council agreed to forward the concerns back to the school board/council liaison committee.

Changes on horizon for 16th Avenue

The city has taken the first step in a major roadway and utility improvement project for 16th Avenue.

Council recently awarded a contract for the design of the project that will take place from 56th Street to Beach Grove Road.

After public consultation last year, one of two sets of options for upgrades was approved.

The improvements include new on-street cycle

Delta assumed funding for the crossing guard program in 1999 and the annual cost has been in the $100,000 range.

Delta’s engineering department and a technical committee, which includes school board representatives, reviews sites on an annual basis and makes adjustments. The liaison committee also reviews the program and makes the recommendations to council.

The improvements are necessary to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety, improve roadway conditions and functionality and enhance streetscape and neighbourhood appearance, according to the city.

Construction is anticipated to be undertaken in two phases, starting from 56th Street to Gillespie Road in the first phase, and then from Gillespie Road to Beach Grove Road in the second.

Construction is tentatively scheduled for 2024 and 2025, subject to council approval of funding.

lanes, grass boulevards and sidewalks on both sides, on-street parking along the south side, crosswalk upgrades at Farrell Crescent and at Braid Road, new LED streetlights, wheelchair accessible pedestrian landings at bus stops, intersection improvements at 56th Street and 16th Avenue to better accommodate cyclists, as well as a sanitary main replacement between 56th Street and Gillespie Road.

Delta to plant more trees in public spaces 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 council has approved a $272,000 contract to plant more trees in the city.

The plantings will take place in public spaces at 15 sites beginning this year including four boulevard locations.

A report to council notes there will be 389 predominately native species of trees planted and 359 understory shrubs as part of the 2020 planting program.

The understory shrubs are an important part of the work to re-establish urban forest environments, as these shrubs provide biological diversity and habitat in these forest environments, the report notes.

Parks, recreation and culture director Ken

Kuntz said it’s just a portion of this year’s tree planting program as council approved the allocation of $600,000 toward the project to ensure that Delta’s tree canopy cover continues to increase.

Between 2015 and 2018, an average of 933 tree cutting permits have been issued per year.

During that same period, an annual average of 1,092 trees have been planted.

Council this year approved moving ahead with a new urban forest strategy and also directed staff to report back on options to amend the tree protection bylaw.

Delta has also been working with province and Metro Vancouver to develop planting plans for highways and regional parks in the city.

SANDOR GYARMATI PHOTO

The Delta plan has plantings on provincial and regional parkland forming a significant part of the spring 2021 tree planning project. If the collaborative partners approve the proposed planting sites, that project is anticipated to involve planting of more than 1,000 trees.

Safety improvements planned for Trunk Road SANDOR GYARMATI

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

The city is going to undertake safety improvements on a stretch of Ladner Trunk Road in East Delta.

Council recently awarded a $780,000 contract for upgrades along 96th Street to Highway 91.

The work includes lighting improvements

at the 104th Street and 112th Street intersections, select pavement rehabilitation and installation of four, speed reader boards.

The contract also includes enhanced pavement markings, reflective delineators at each utility pole and construction of an emergency pull-out near the 104th Street intersection.

The engineering

Feature Carrier

department said the scope of the project is less than originally anticipated, but further road improvements will be included in a future capital plan.

To reduce the impact to commuter traffic and the farming community during harvest season, a noise variance will be issued authorizing that the majority of the work be carried out at night between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Monday to Sunday.

At a minimum, singlelane alternating traffic will be maintained.

Council last fall endorsed a report from the engineering department and Delta police that requested a speed limit reduction as well as safety improvements along Ladner Trunk Road.

The roadway has seen numerous accidents in recent years including a head-on crash last year near 72nd Street that resulted in a serious injury.

In late 2016, a man was killed when his vehicle struck a truck parked at the side of the road in the

10400-block of Ladner Trunk Road, and a few days later, another driver was seriously hurt in a head-on collision with a semi between 80th and 96th streets.

Also that summer, a 17-year-old male from Langley died after a head-on collision with a dump trunk in 9800block.

A few months earlier, a Richmond couple was killed in a single-vehicle crash when their car crossed the centre line and went into a ditch

between 104th Street and the Highway 99 junction.

Three years ago, an internal review by DPD looked at the situation for Ladner Trunk Road from the beginning of 2014 to November of 2016, focusing on the stretch from 96th Street to Scott Road where the majority of the collisions occurred.

During that period there was a total of 44 crashes.

Distracted driving was among the contributing factors in several of the serious or fatal collisions, the review found.

The city’s engineering department will review the safety of a crosswalk on Arthur Drive at the McKee Seniors’ Centre.

That’s according to an update from the Transportation Technical Committee, which says the operation of the pedestrian activated special crosswalk was discussed and it was agreed the city should investigate possible improvements.

The placement of the existing 30 km/h speed limit signs in the area will also be examined.

Some of the other road safety concerns raised by residents that the committee recently discussed included speeding along Dunlop Road as well as speeding along 51st Street in Tsawwassen.

It was also agreed that engineering staff will investigate opportunities to install an additional wayfinding sign in advance of the Centennial Beach entrance.

Ladner All Saints hosting ‘mini’ poinsettia bazaar

RETIREMENT LIVING!

CAMERON THOMSON

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

The All Saints Anglican Church in Ladner will still hold its traditional poinsettia bazaar but it will be smaller and more socially distant to keep within COVID-19 protocols.

The church’s largest annual fundraiser takes place on Saturday, Nov. 14 and will give people the opportunity to pre-order their flowers to be picked up at the church between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. The church will then close for half an hour for cleaning and sanitizing and will reopen to the public again from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the rest of the bazaar.

To pre-order your poinsettia, head to All Saints’ webpage at www.allsaintsladner.org.

Coordinators Sheryl Gaffey and Sally Phelps show off some of the items that will be sold during the All Saints Anglican Church ‘mini’ poinsettia bazaar. different varieties of fruit pies will be sold along with differently sized Christmas motif facemasks from the handicraft table. Instead of the bazaars usual luncheon, a takeaway lunch plate will be available for purchase as people have finished their shopping.

Sheryl Gaffey is the coordinator of the bazaar

this year and says the fundraiser is critical to the church’s operations.

“It’s the only fundraiser that we have during the year and all our profits go to all of our outreach projects,” Gaffey said. “It’s really the only one where we go out to the community. We’re really trying to keep in touch with everyone.”

Together we’ll get through challenging times. We have a cheerful culinary team to keep you well-fed, friendly housekeepers to clean your suite, and energetic recreation staff to fill each day with fun. Move in before December 31, and we’ll pay for your phone and wifi for a full year.

Mills releases holiday movie

Earthwise announces Sunflower Ladner filmmaker inspired by his children to make The Key to Christmas winners much as a three-year-old and MARK BOOTH Who doesn’t love sunflowers?

They are fun to watch as they grow taller and bigger, they’re beautiful to look at, and they are wonderful for pollinators!

This summer, Earthwise challenged home gardeners of all ages to get their hands dirty and grow the biggest and boldest sunflowers possible.

Prizes were awarded in two categories: kids, and kids at heart.

The young farmers were challenged to grow the tallest plant, the biggest flower, and the sunniest sunflower. For the young at heart, prizes were awarded for the showiest sunflower, the best for small spaces, and the most popular with pollinators.

All summer long, Earthwise received pictures of stunning sunflowers in all shapes, sizes, and colours. As difficult as it was, the winners have been decided.

In the kids’ category, the prize for the tallest plant went to Maddie, age 7. Prize for the biggest flower was awarded to siblings William,6, Sophia,8, and Henry, 2.

The prize for the sunniest sunflower went to Aurora, age 3, who grew a beautiful little sunflower that was perfectly yellow like the sun. The kids received special gift prize bags, generously provided by West Coast Seeds.

For the adults, the honour for the showiest sunflower went to Michal and Yasmin Sirton, the prize for best small spaces sunflower went to Barbara Hoffman for her picturesque balcony bloom, and the sunflower that was most popular with pollinators was awarded to Lorraine Yates.

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

Jason Mills didn’t have to look too far for inspiration for his latest movie project.

The Key to Christmas was released world-wide by MillsPictures Studios this week and is dedicated to the Ladner filmmaker’s two young children.

The movie’s plot is how a disgruntled elf takes over the North Pole and turns back time, creating a rapidly younger Santa. It’s up to a loyal elf, a little girl with a magic key and the now teenage Santa to save the future of Christmas. The film is available on iTunes and on demand via Eastlink. The DVD can also be purchased on Amazon.

The film has become a complete family project with Mills’ wife Kianna authoring a related children’s book Kirra the Christmas Elf. There is also a colouring book under the same title with both now available on Amazon.

“The main character of the movie is my daughter’s name Kirra. I just kind of wanted to make a film for my kids really,” explained Mills in what is his 11th feature film and first children’s comedy. “I enjoyed it because of their involvement. I built the set, props and everything and my kids helped as

one-year-old can. Now they get to read the book before they go to sleep and they can watch the movie. They love them both.”

Mills, who also teaches at the Delta Film Academy, gave roles to a number of his students in the movie, including Camryn MacDonald, Samriddhi Singh, James Plante, Sarah Houghton, Emily Rogers, Taylor Wilkie and Liam Tait. Academy head instructor Jennifer McKee even has a part.

Mills wrote the script earlier this year and filming started soon after until the COVID-19 lockdown in March. He found a way to work around social distancing measures to get the movie completed, with much of the shooting done in Ladner and a North Pole set in Richmond.

“I shot about half of the movie before COVID happened.

Then I had to figure out how to do this with nobody else,” explained Mills. “I had some actors coming in one day then again on another day.

“I ended up doing a lot of it myself and, in a way, COVID kind of helped me that way. I can actually get a lot more done with less people. You just don’t get that movie set feel.”

That freedom & peace reigns not conflict

On Wednesday, people from around the world gathered at 11 a.m. to remember all who have served in the armed forces and paid the ultimate sacrifice.

It is important for us to remember these brave people, not only because they died in the line of duty, but for the values they fought for for peace and freedom.

From their service they fought for a better world for future generations.

A world where freedom and peace reigns. A world where people live in harmony and where people are judged not by their culture, race or for who they love, but rather

Minister’s Minute ROBIN RUDER CELIZ

on their efforts in building and adding to the betterment of society.

A world where there is no more violence, no more unnecessary suf-

fering and loss is a world that seems far away, even a fairy tale at times. The world we live in today is scary and volatile with a pandemic that knows no border. Our world is far from a utopia of freedom and peace at times.

But it precisely at times such as this, where our values and beliefs are threatened that we need to take time and remember. This is the time to re-commit our efforts and resolve for peace, equality, and freedom for all people; not just a select few. In this way, we remember too, the One who sacrificed his own life for these same values.

High school teams allowed to train

District eases restrictions to allow cohort practices but don’t expect games in fall season MARK BOOTH

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

It’s a start.

Limited extracurricular sports activities are underway at Delta high schools.

This would typically be a busy stretch at South Delta Secondary with football, volleyball, soccer and field hockey teams gearing up for district and provincial playoffs. Instead, it’s only cohort volleyball training and perhaps some football practices too.

Overseeing the entire process is SDSS co-athletic director Brent Sweeney who also happens to be vice-president of BC School Sports.

“Most schools in Delta are operating under a 30 to 60 cohort. At least at the beginning, we will be under that restrictive approach and hopefully we can move to the idea of expanding a little more,” he said.

“From the senior management’s perspective, the district was supportive of some sports starting. They just needed to measure or nail down what exactly it was going to look like in schools. We put forward a proposal and the principals had some suggestions from their perspective on health and safety. It took a little going back and

forth where we could all agree and live with.”

B.C. School Sports recently announced the fall season will be expanded right up until the winter break in December. It allows additional time for training but very likely nothing more with daily provincial COVID-19 numbers reaching record totals.

Sweeney is hoping there will be cohort play after the basketball season is launched in January but he can only see it being among Delta schools.

“Any games going ahead in the fall season would be a real surprise to me,” he continued.

“I think when basketball starts the pressure will really mount to play games so long as the case numbers aren’t crazy then. (The South Fraser Zone) numbers are not the greatest so I think mostly likely it will be within Delta only. Hopefully we can open up more things in the spring.”

Some fall sports will remain dormant, including boys soccer and field hockey that currently have competitive and training opportunities at the community club level with most students participating. BC School Sports also held a virtual cross-country running event last week.

The BC Secondary Schools Football Association has had

South Delta Secondary School’s girls volleyball program has begun cohort training but don’t expect to see any games played this season. cohort conferences and schedules in place since September.

Sweeney says there is only a “small chance” the organization receives approval to move a shortened season to January.

“It’s something we haven’t talked about yet. It’s akin to spring sports last year (that were completely cancelled). It would be the same as them asking to

do their season in the fall,” he said. “You start stepping on the toes of other teams and the facilities (and fields) that would be required too.”

Sweeney adds a training “season” may not be ideal but it still provides an out-of-class experience for student athletes in a safe and supervised environment.

“It’s giving those Grade 8s something that is normal about high school because nothing is normal about it right now. To do something in person is really important,” he says. “We have to give these kids a chance to play and be exposed to those sports because they may not have been in the community or elementary school.”

New restrictions put community cohort games on hold Community sports cohort game play is on pause for now in Metro Vancouver after new restrictions announced Saturday by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry due to an alarming rise in COVID-19 numbers.

Indoor sports, such as ice hockey and ringette, have reverted back to training only under viaSport BC’s

Return to Play Plan until at least Nov. 23.

The Pacific Junior Hockey League played cohort games on Saturday night, including the Delta Ice Hawks’ 4-1 win at North Vancouver, before stopping its schedule. Delta was slated to play three times.

Although outdoor sports were not mentioned in the order, youth soccer, minor football and field lacrosse

cancelled games on Sunday.

REMEMBRANCES IN MEMORIAM

CELEBRATIONS OBITUARIES

Terry Pearson

April 20, 1949 ~ Nov 15, 2004

Losing a loved one leaves a heartache no one can heal.

But their memory is a precious gift that no one can steal.

— We miss you and love you — Mom, Cheryl, Randy, Amber, Ryley, Kaisha & Siera

ANNIVERSARIES

FROESE, Wesley S. May 23, 1967 − October 17, 2020 It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of our brother Wesley. Wes is survived by his mother, Irene; sisters, Valerie (Ken), Shirley (Stuart); brothers, Tony (Jonalyne) and Jeffrey (Sandra); and many nephews and nieces who he loved dearly. Wesley will be remembered for his greatest joys: his creator, his family, numerous trips around BC over the years on his bike, and hunting & fishing. He will be deeply missed by so many who knew and loved him, especially his family.

It gives us comfort knowing you are in the Arms of Jesus. Until we meet again, little brother.

We love you.

OBITUARIES

Back in the day, mom taught Sunday school and while working at Woodwards and the Bay for many years managed to be a devoted wife and mother.

She was also involved with Christian Women’s Club and attended South Delta Baptist Church for over 25 years.

In Lieu of flowers, Mom would have liked donations to the SDBC Share Ministry or charity of choice.
