It was quite the spectacle on Chisholm Street in Ladner Village Monday morning as Sean Frank rolled out his now completed prize project that is headed to Vancouver Island.

The First Nation carver and Ladner resident has been working the past several months on

a spectacular 18-foot red cedar dugout canoe that was commissioned by the Comox Valley Regional District to be showcased at its soon-to-be-completed $126 million water treatment project.

The canoe is roughly 3.5-to-4 inches thick, compared to the typical 1.5-to-2-inches since it was created for display. Its permanent home will be on the second floor of an interpretative centre.

Thanks for following us on:

“I’ve taken part in a lot of canoe projects and a lot of big totem pole projects, but this is the first one I’ve taken on from start to finish that was mine as a big project,” said Frank who found the time around his job as a heavy machinery operator.

He is a member of K’ómoks First Nation, reflecting his life on Vancouver Island before moving here 14 years ago.

Delta council on Monday gave the thumbs-up to a proposed 2.9 per cent increase to the city’s portion of this year’s property tax bill.

The increase works out to $70 for the average home.

However, people whose homes saw an increase in assessed value last year that was greater than the average increase in Delta, will be paying more.

According to the finance department, the increase breaks down to 1.9 per cent for city services and one per cent towards the Parks Sustainable Infrastructure Funding and Neighbourhood Livability and Safety Improvements programs.

Combined with the $27 increase in the 2021 flat rate utility fees, the overall increase in Delta charges for the average residence is $97.

A report to council notes that in addition to city services, as well as inflationary costs, the budget also provides additional funding for enhanced sport field maintenance, housing planning studies, community resilience and economic recovery initiatives and emerging needs for vulnerable Delta residents.

The increase in general operating costs are partially offset by new taxation revenue from the city’s growth and net increases in other non-tax revenue sources.

However, pandemic-related costs and revenue uncertainties for parks, recreation and culture fees, investment income and other sources are a concern for the city in 2021.

At a virtual town hall meeting last month, Mayor George Harvie stressed the city has not had to resort to borrowing and that Delta’s “fiscal health has never been better.”

Also noting there are no cutbacks, Harvie assured that at least two playing fields will be improved annually.

Welcome news for care homes Provincial government announces easing visitation rules starting today SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s welcome news for people in Delta long-term care homes and their loved ones.

The provincial government last week announced the easing of visitation rules commencing today (Thursday, April 1).

All residents in long-term care and assisted living will be able to have frequent, routine opportunities for social visitation with the removal of the requirement for a single designated social visitor only.

The number of visitors can be up to two, plus a child, to visit at any one time.

The new rules also include changing the allowable location of visits, so family and friends can visit in residents’ rooms without staff present.

Physical touching between visitors and residents will also be allowed, provided appropriate infection prevention and control measures such as masks and hand hygiene are in place.

Social visitation will continue to be suspended during outbreaks and will continue to require advanced booking, visitor health screening, use of medical masks and frequent hand hygiene, the Ministry of Health explained.

Katherine Chubbs, president and CEO of Good Samaritan Society which operates Delta View in East Ladner as well as many other long-term care residences, told the Optimist that news of visitation changes is welcome.

“It has been a long year, and while we have worked hard to create opportunities for interaction, we know virtual visits are not the same as seeing someone in person,” said

OPTIMIST FILE

People living and working in long-term care and assisted living were among the very first in B.C. to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.

Chubbs. “We are looking forward to welcoming more visitors back into our homes.

Still, I would like to remind people that with these changes comes an increased responsibility for all of us to ensure that we are following the public health measures to reduce the risk of transmission for some of the most vulnerable in our communities.

“While the vaccine has given us hope, we need to remember that COVID-19 can still spread. As an organization, Good Samaritan will do our part to ensure that all protocols are followed to keep our residents, visitors, and employees safe. I want to thank everyone for their patience as we implement the

protocols necessary to prepare for the April 1 visitation change.”

In an open letter to residents and their families, Augustine House executive director Jackie Reiners also described the change as positive.

“We are reviewing these changes and will work with Fraser Health to ensure these changes are done in a safe manner. As soon as we have more details about how this will look in our community along with instructions from Fraser Health, with regard to infection control policies and procedures required, we will pass these details on to you,” she explained.

New public health guidance around masks in schools 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

Those in younger grades in B.C. school districts should also wear masks.

The Surrey school district over the weekend announced it was implementing a district-specific order from Fraser Health that masks must be worn at all times for students in grades 4 to 12, even when students are in their learning groups.

The province on Monday then announced a series of sweeping new COVID-19 public health orders, which includes “Public

health guidance for schools has also been amended to support and encourage students down to Grade 4 to wear masks while at school.”

Masks will be strongly recommended for those in K-3.

The decision to only mandate masks in Surrey was problematic for Delta teachers who have experienced multiple exposures and have had multiple approved WorkSafeBC claims due to COVID-19 illness, said Delta Teachers’ Association president Susan Yao. “There is heightened concern particularly with the new vari-

ants, some of which have been in Delta schools. This is a regional problem, and parsing it school district by school district is not working. The DTA supports the important protection of mask for all students as an added layer of protection for students, teachers and staff in schools,” she told the Optimist on Monday.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation in a news release noted teachers throughout the province are relieved to learn that the province has strengthened their position on mask-wearing in schools.

“Despite some vague wording, we have been assured by

the Ministry of Education that today’s announcement equates to a province-wide expansion of the orders that were introduced in Surrey over the weekend,” said BCTF President Teri Mooring.

“Our sincere thanks go out to the many teachers and parents who have advocated tirelessly to get this safety measure in place as an added layer of protection for teachers and students.”

The province earlier this year announced that all middle and secondary students and K-12 staff were required to wear nonmedical masks in all indoor areas.

there is a comprehensive transition to the provincial online booking and registration system set to launch on April 6.

According to Fraser Health, effective immediately, and until 7 a.m. on April 6, eligible people in the Fraser Health region who would like to book their COVID-19 immunization appointment can do so one of two ways: * Between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. call the immunization booking phone line at 1-855-755-2455 (The phone line will operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, April 2 and Monday, April 5 to align with the statutory holidays). * Between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. access Fraser Health’s self-serve online booking tool (The online tool will operate from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. on Friday, April 2 and Monday, April 5.

On Saturday, April 3 and Sunday, April 4 it will run from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.).

FHA says to date they have booked just over 222,070 immunization appointments.

“We acknowledge that people in our communities want to book appointments as quickly as they become eligible,” said Fraser Health. “We appreciate everyone’s patience as we schedule very sizable populations into immunization appointments. We understand this transition coupled with high volumes has caused some challenges with people accessing the system.”

Pharmacies partnership

Meanwhile, the province has announced a partnership between Immunize BC and community pharmacists to make the COVID-19 AstraZeneca/ COVISHIELD vaccine available to those aged 55 to 65 living in the Lower Mainland.

Those aged 55 to 65 may call their local pharmacy and book an

appointment to receive their vaccine. Drop-in service may be an option at the more than 150 participating pharmacies.

People must bring their personal health number, which is found on their BC Services Card or CareCard.

“We’re moving ahead with our immunization plan and delivering on our promise to British Columbians to move as quickly as possible, and as safely as possible, to get them the vaccines that they have been waiting patiently for,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health in a news release.

To help combat high numbers of COVID19 cases in the Lower Mainland, Immunize BC is partnering with community pharmacies in the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health regions to provide vaccinations ahead of B.C.’s COVID-19 Immunization Plan’s agebased schedule.

“The AstraZeneca/ COVISHIELD vaccine is another important tool in our immunization program to get us past this surge of COVID-19 cases,” added Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer. “We know from the millions of doses used worldwide, and especially in the U.K., it is highly effective and the benefits to those over age 55 far outweigh the very real risks of getting COVID-19.”

On Monday, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommended a pause in the use of the AstraZeneca/ COVISHIELD vaccine in all people under 55 years of age in Canada until more information is available on the rare events of blood clots seen in some countries in Europe.

The province says there is now an opportunity to use AstraZeneca doses available in B.C. to focus on those whose risk of COVID-19 is higher and to give them protection sooner.

Province imposes three-week circuit breaker to bend the curve 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

New health orders are in place for restaurants, fitness centres and schools as the province imposed a three-week circuit breaker Monday in a move to bend the COVID-19 curve.

With more than 2,500 cases reported Monday afternoon following last weekend, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry amended health orders and guidelines which are now in effect through April 19.

The health orders include: * For restaurants, bars and pubs, all food and liquor-serving premises must only provide takeout or delivery service.

Dine-in service is prohibited, except for outdoor patios. People dining on patios should do so with their immediate household or core

bubble. * Indoor, adult group fitness activities of any kind are also paused.

Gyms and fitness centres are restricted to individual or one-on-one activities only i.e. one-on-one personal training. * The previously announced class variance for limited indoor worship services has been suspended.

Outdoor worship services under the current variance may continue. * Travel continues to be limited to essential travel, work or medical reasons only.

For those who have travelled outside their health region, if you or anyone in your family develops any signs of illness, you must stay home from work, school or daycare, and arrange to get tested immediately. * Whistler-Blackcomb ski resort is closed

through to April 19 to address and prevent community spread related to non-essential travel. * All workers are strongly encouraged to work from home, where possible. * Public health guidance for schools has also been amended to support and encourage students down to Grade 4 to wear masks while at school.

“Social connection is important, and so is keeping our loved ones and ourselves safe,” said Henry. “We all have a choice - to stay safe or put our loved ones, our friends and ourselves at risk, which is why nonessential activities need to be limited and need to be outside with the same small number of people. The sacrifices we make today will help all of us to get through this storm.”

The City of Delta is now reviewing feedback from its latest round of public consultation on the Boundary Bay permit parking program, to see if there is potential room for improvements.

In response to complaints about spillover parking on the streets because the Centennial Beach parking lot gets full quickly, the city last summer started a pilot permit parking program within the neighbourhood with only residents of the neighborhood who could receive parking permits.

The permit parking regulations were only in effect on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays during the summer months correlat-

ing to peak activity at Centennial Beach, the city explained.

When the program was in effect in the peak summer months, visitors had limited parking with a three-hour time limit along 4th Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 1A Avenue by the boat launch and 66th Street south of 1A Avenue.

Permit holders were allowed to park beyond the time limit.

“The increased traffic and parking within the Boundary Bay neighbourhood reflects the popularity of not only the park, but also the provincial foreshore beach area which fronts the Boundary Bay neighbourhood. The popularity of the park is exemplified by the total number of daily visitors that can number up to 7,000 per

day during a holiday long weekend,” according to the city’s planning department.

“As such, additional traffic control measures such as the permit parking program with visitor parking spaces were undertaken to balance the needs of the local community whilst providing some access for visitors. The pilot permit parking program was successful in limiting traffic congestion and improved traffic safety within the Boundary Bay neighbourhood last summer.”

The planning department noted that area residents also expressed concerns regarding excessive speeding in the neighbourhood.

Residents were asked if they supported additional traffic calming such as speed humps.

Delta aiming to develop a poverty reduction 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 agreed to submit an application to the province’s Poverty Reduction Planning and Action Program for funding to develop a poverty reduction plan.

The plan will help identify community needs and actions that directly support vulnerable populations and lowincome residents, including actions to increase food security in Delta.

A staff report notes food insecurity is directly related to income in that the lower the household or individual income, the higher the risk of food insecurity.

If the city is successful in its application, a Delta poverty reduction strategy will allow the city to consolidate poverty reduction work that has already been undertaken by various departments, conduct a comprehensive examination of community needs, develop and expand community partnerships.

It’s also aimed at identifying actions and projects that directly support vulnerable populations and low-income residents, including actions to increase food security in Delta, the report explains.

“Food emergency services, such as food banks, are under-utilized in Delta while Delta families with children face higher food insecurity, as reported by Delta School District. Developing a better understanding of the underlying factors contributing to increased food insecurity for vulnerable populations will require continuous collaboration between the City and community partners,” the report states.

The report also notes that in B.C., 10.4 per cent of households experience food insecurity with the South Fraser region having a slightly higher proportion of food insecure residents at 11.6 per cent,

2.8 per cent of whom experience severe insecurity and 5.6 per cent live with moderate food insecurity.

Data at the community level is not available.

As far as recent immigrants, 8.5 per cent of Delta’s recent immigrants were low-income residents in 2015 and close to 70 per cent of all Delta’s immigrants live in North Delta.

Meanwhile, one-infive children in B.C. live in poverty (18.5 per cent) and there are pockets of child and youth poverty in Delta.

In some areas of North Delta, the proportion of children under the age of 17 who live in lowincome families reaches as high as 22.4 per cent.

In comparison, the rate varies from 8.2 per cent to 12.7 per cent in Ladner.

Over 12 per cent of all Delta’s children five years and younger live in lowincome households.

As far as seniors 65 and over, in 2015, B.C. had the highest seniors’ poverty rate of any province or territory in Canada at 8.8 per cent. Delta has a rate comparable to the provincial average poverty rate for seniors at 8.9 per cent.

Similar to child and youth poverty, the larger proportion of Delta’s low income seniors is concentrated in North Delta.

“Food security policies fall within all government jurisdictions and policies to address food insecurity require a collective, coordinated approach.

Local governments are well-positioned to address food related issues relating to land use, utilities, community services, and supports to vulnerable populations,” the report notes.

The report adds that city staff’s initial examination of food programs showed that Delta has “robust community-driven food programming infrastructure” including food banks, emergency food programs, free/low cost community meals,

multiple programs with free food/meals, community kitchens and community gardens.

However, early analysis of collected data on Delta’s food security revealed that the pandemic has affected social/food services infrastructure and various emergency food programs in Delta are not currently available and/or operate at a lower capacity, the report states.

The Delta school district also provides various food supports to students and their families.

“One potential explanation for an increased uptake of DSD food supports is that there are more families now who are struggling with basic needs as a result of COVID-19 and they seek

Another possible explanation is that these families were food insecure prior to the pandemic and instead of going to food banks, are now accessing the increasing-

ly available food supports provided by the DSD,” the report notes.

Council will also be looking at options for a more permanent and accessible food bank in North Delta. South Delta

has a food bank at the Lighthouse Church property in Ladner.

Staff will also continue to collaborate with the Delta Food Coalition and the school district to support local food security.

OPINION

Comments reflect a lack of leadership Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

D

o not blow this for the rest of us.”

Those were the words of Premier John Horgan directed at B.C. residents ages 20 to 39 on Monday when the province announced new restrictions on restaurants, fitness centres and other businesses in an attempt to curtail surging COVID-19 cases in this province.

His words have been met with much criticism the past few days and rightly so.

I think it is pretty unfair to suggest one particular age group is the cause for the recent surge in cases. Yes, there has been a rise in younger age groups contracting the virus, but doesn’t that stand to reason given we are vaccinating our older population first?

And let’s not forget, that prior to the start of spring break, provincial medical health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry decided to loosen restrictions on outdoor gatherings allowing for up to 10 people to get together. Did she honestly believe that people would follow the rules and not shift those larger gatherings indoors as well? What was the motivation to ease some restrictions just prior to spring break? Why is Horgan not questioning that decision, which clearly played a big factor in the case rise?

On Monday, the province targeted the hospitality industry – an industry that has sacrificed so much, many of which, operate thanks to the 20 to 39 age group that Horgan threw under the bus. This younger demographic have been hit hard, suffered job loss and the stress of financial hardship and now they have to saddle the blame for the pandemic because of Horgan’s flippant and ill-timed remarks. I guess it is just easier to blame someone else instead of taking responsibility for your failures.

I’m not too surprised by this latest gaff from our premier. This was the same person who a few weeks ago flippantly told Interim Liberal Leader Shirley Bond that she “should get a geography lesson” when asked why there was not a vaccine clinic slated for North Delta.

So much for all of us being in this “together” eh Mr. Premier?

The problem isn’t the tunnel, it’s the traffic

I

have to share the sentiment of my colleague Ingrid Abbott; driving through the tunnel is like driving onto a television set, lights fully ablaze.

Something is better than nothing, and that’s a whole lot of something, especially early in the morning. Who needs coffee when the bright lights of our beloved commute shine through? Does this signal the delay of an upgraded crossing?

Time will tell.

If the pandemic has a silver lining, it’s less traffic, but that won’t last forever. The tunnel was a bottleneck of epic proportions, and needs to be addressed. Eventually, the traffic will return.

I dread the day they start construction of anything around that section of road. It is going to be a gong show. Just like the challenges commuters faced when the new Port Mann Bridge was built. Take the worst crossing and throw in more delays. Wonderful.

But does twinning or replacing the tunnel with a bridge solve the problem? I guess it all depends on what you define the problem being.

If you see the problem as the tunnel being too old and needing to be replaced, then

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

replace it…and deal with the short-term outcome of immense traffic tie-ups as it is being constructed…unless you can still work from home.

But if you see the problem being not enough capacity to get people across the Fraser River, then go about solving that problem, which may or may not include work around the tunnel.

The real problem is a single accident paralyses traffic in Richmond and Delta, because we have limited crossings. If we are serious about solving that problem, then another crossing is the solution.

Connect it to Highway 17, over the river to Richmond and the East-West Connector, and continue on to Boundary Road. Build it without impact-

ing traffic, open it when it’s done. No traffic tie-up, no more arguing about too many cars heading to the Oak Street Bridge. Probably cheaper than renovating, as anyone who renovates a house knows, and a blessed new option should one route be impacted, not just to Delta, but to Richmond as well. Free up some space on the Knight and Oak bridges while you’re at it.

It’s not a new idea, Vicki Huntington, our former MLA, suggested this in 2019, but felt the politicians in Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby wouldn’t like it.

For anyone who has used Highway 17 to meet up with Highway 1, or get to the Patullo, the SFPR has been a godsend. It was built with little disruption. It was wonderful.

The problem isn’t the tunnel. The problem is the lack of ability to get across the river efficiently. That’s the problem that needs solving.

Letters

Park vandals need to be held accountable

Editor: This letter is directed to the morons who vandalized Diefenbaker Park last Friday night.

You dumped the 45 gallon trash barrels all over the park, and then threw the barrels into the duck

pond...what a brilliant and fun escapade! The fact that the waterfowl are in the midst of their annual mating and nesting activities does not seem to concern you at all. The inconvenience to Delta municipal crews and the increased

work load are also minor considerations to you.

I hope you are proud of your ignorant and piggish behavior and eventually face the consequences you so richly deserve...idiots!

D Temoin

Do the crime, do the time Editor: Ahh the good old days, a time when the police were respected, judges revered and people found guilty of serious crimes paid the price.

Now look at it. A young woman is hit and killed by a drunk driver, his penalty, five months in jail and a three-year driving ban. Yet, the so called Skytrain shooter who shot an officer in the leg, no one died his penalty 18-years in prison.

How can this be justice? A family has lost a loved one forever, the killer is free as a bird in a few months, yet the Skytrain shooter loses 18 years of his life for killing no one.

No wonder society is out of control in

many areas. No consequences results in an “I don’t care attitude.”

I am amazed the police arrest anyone as they must be frustrated at the menial penalties handed out.

Our judges, I truly wonder what society they live in. Certainly not the one me and my friends live in.

I feel judges rely way too much on last minute, “I’m so sorry confessions for the pain I have caused.” In the real world regret and gratitude fade real quick.

The legal system has lost a lot of respect. It’s time to fix it. Bring real justice back.

Barrie McDonald

We will miss you Dr. Kason

Editor: I would like to make a few comments on the article in this week’s edition (Optimist, March 25) on Dr. David Kason.

It was very nice to read his feelings about the patients he has gotten to serve and know over the years in Ladner, however, I am not sure if he realizes how much he has meant to his patients.

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, we did not get a chance to say our goodbyes and offer thanks to a very much loved and appreciated family doctor.

He has been our doc-

tor for more than 44 years. He delivered our last two children, he has stood by our side while we dealt with family and health issues. He has been more than a doctor. He would counsel us when needed, encouraged us and laid it on the line when we needed to hear it. We were worried when we got that letter last year about his coming retirement. Where would we get another doctor, especially one that has been so dedicated over all these years?

Dr. Rodriques Nunez is proving to be a good replacement and it is

comforting to know that he took great care in finding her.

There is so much more that I could say about this man, but I just wanted him to know that he was loved and appreciated and that we wish him all the best in the coming years.

I won’t say retirement because it doesn’t sound like he is slowing down anytime soon, but I am glad to hear that he is still going to be training others to be a great family doctor.

All the best to you and your family Dr. Kason.

We will miss you!

Vibrant seniors’ communities are Letters the future of retirement living Bria Communities offers unique homes where seniors feel safe, comfortable and valued

Seniors have many choices to make as they consider where they’ll live in their retirement years.

family members. This is our residents’ home and I want them to know that their voices matter here.”

Increasingly, seniors are opting for independent seniors’ communities for the significant advantages they offer to residents and their families.

Yearly satisfaction surveys, combined with an accountable and responsive approach to feedback, ensure residents are always heard.

They’re also able to contribute via resident councils, town halls and regular staff chats.

Bria Communities offers unique homes where seniors feel safe, comfortable and valued for.

Carefully crafted common spaces, courtyards, and gardens create vibrant senior living environments.

All-inclusive amenities allow seniors to relax and enjoy life to the fullest while Bria Communities takes care of all the details.

Two of Bria Communities’ Tsawwassen homes, The Waterford and The Wexford, are welcoming new residents to move in this spring.

These homes are adapting and progressing to serve seniors and their families. Here’s how The Waterford and The Wexford are creating living solutions where seniors can thrive:

Excellent service “We try to make life as simple as possible for residents and their families by going the extra mile,” Jane Bryce, general manager of The Wexford says.

“That can mean organizing a birthday party for a resident on behalf of a family member, providing a bouquet for a special anniversary, or providing tech support for their computers, tablets and smartphones.”

Homes include a concierge service that covers everything from personal laundry to courtesy shuttles.

Offering choices Bria Communities wants mealtime to be one of the highlights of the day, and choice plays a major role in that. A variety of choices at meal times gives seniors the opportunity to pick their favourite offering from the menus prepared by Red Seal chefs.

The Wexford and The Waterford also ensure a choice of recreation and social activities. Staff are open and flexible and adapt to resident requests to support multiple events and services at the same time.

As an added bonus choice, this spring they are introducing the Bria Bonus program for new residents. New residents are able to choose from one of six gifts of $500 value. Choices include a SmartTV, air conditioning unit, or iPad.

Responsive to resident requests “We have a number of ways that residents are able to speak out about their preferences or requests,” Matthew Jackson, general manager of The Waterford says.

“My door is always open to residents and their

Purpose-driven Bria Communities’ recreation teams are constantly engaging in community projects to stay connected to the community outside its doors and residents are active participants in it.

This past year, knitters in The Wexford worked on the COVID-19 memorial blanket project, and produced dozens of squares, each of which represented a Canadian who passed away as a result of COVID-19.

Technology first “Our safety and security systems use technology that doesn’t just protect seniors, but also makes their lives easier,” Jackson says.

“For instance, state-of-the-art keyless door locks are easy for seniors to use, inexpensive to replace, are customizable, and best of all provide peace of mind for seniors who want assurance of privacy.”

“Good Morning” buttons differentiate Bria Communities from others in that this added safety feature is a way for the staff to know every morning that seniors are up and ready for a great new day. From kitchens to reception, to resident support and education, technology plays a key role in creating a positive resident experience.

Creating spaces for seniors to flourish When seniors move into a Bria Community, they are surrounded by friends, have a large variety of options for active living, and are supported in all endeavours.

“I see it again and again as new residents move in—they develop a lightness in their step.

The weight of caring for a home or a spouse’s additional needs falls away. They’re free to enjoy their hobbies, socialize to their hearts’ content, and not worry about the details of everyday life,” Bryce says.

“It’s like watching a flower bloom.”

Bria Communities is a vibrant family of retirement senior living communities located in Langley and South Delta. Built and operated by local development company, Century Group, Bria Communities is the signature brand of seniors housing residences with independent living suites, and licensed, longterm care centres.

Continue the dialogue on MAiD

Editor: Re: What does MAiD sound like, feel like?

(Optimist, letters, March 18).

I want to commend Mr. Jones on asking this question - so as to better understand the process of MAiD, and not make assumptions, as well as to open the dialogue.

To answer your questions, yes, yes, yes, and yes. MAiD can, and is, administered in facilities along with palliative care all the time. MAiD is a very peaceful, quiet and serene transition - to

be quite honest, at times more so than the natural dying process. You would have absolutely no idea that the individual in a room next to you was receiving MAiD versus having a ‘natural’ death.

In almost any area of specialty there are multiple medical modalities/treatment choices.

Palliative care is no exception. There are often many options along the way - what types or how much treatment. Die at home, versus die in a health care facility. Music therapy, spiritual prac-

tices, and so on. MAiD is merely another option along the way.

As a final note however, I would like to point out - all of this is a moot point. It is the legal right of any individual who meets the qualifications for MAiD to receive it.

And it is a legal directive that this may happen in palliative care facilities - so really, it is no more our business what type of treatment the patient in the next room receives, than it would be on a surgical floor in a hospital.

Nice to be surrounded by nature

Thanking my angels in Beach Grove

Editor: On the morning of March 17, I was walking my dog in the off-leash park next to Beach Grove Elementary.

I tripped on a log and fell down face first. There was no one in the park but me and the dog. As I laid on the ground face down, I thought that I was in real trouble (I am 80-years-old) when a voice called out from the street, “Are you okay?”

I answered no and two young women came over to me (one holding a toddler and the other a young dog on a leash).

The dog owner handed the leash to her friend and came over and with great patience, eventually got me on my feet and stayed with me until I convinced her that I would be okay.

I would like to thank them for their kindness.

Anne Durie

Tsawwassen is a dangerous place for pedestrians Editor: Got rid of my car after retiring two years ago and decided walking was a less stressful way of getting around.

Wrong, with the lack of enforcement in the area, it has become dangerous.

I have lost count of how many times that cars have nearly hit me as well as my grandkids in crosswalks. Speeding is out of control and now adults on bikes think it is okay to race down our sidewalks. Kids get a pass but adults should be more responsible.

With all due respect to the Delta Police the last time you were dispatched to the corner of View Crescent and 56th St., I was across the street watching the show from beginning to end. I was not impressed one bit. As was stated in the Crime Beat column in the Optimist, ‘no Infractions.’ Really, are you for real? I was watching you standing outside the yoga place looking at your shoes and obviously very bored. As a taxpayer I feel our community deserves better.

CMA Foundation grants $65,000 to hospital

The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) Foundation’s COVID-19 Community Hospital Fund granted $65,000 to the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation as part of its COVID-19 relief initiative to support those on the frontline of this pandemic.

The funds have been used to purchase a dedicated Ultrasound for the medical department. Reducing the use of shared equipment across multiple areas of the hospital helps minimize transmission of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

The CMA Foundation is the charitable arm of the CMA and provides impactful charitable giving that furthers excellence in health care. To date, CMA Foundation has committed more than $30 million in response to the COVID19 pandemic.

“I am inspired every day by the dedication of physicians, health care providers and all hospital workers as they continue to confront the COVID19 pandemic head-on,” said CMA Foundation president Allison Seymour.

“We know these are extraordinary times that require extraordinary support, our hope is that these funds will have a positive impact as you continue to navigate

Lisa Hoglund, executive director of Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation said ensuring Delta Hospital has the necessary equipment and resources on site during these challenging times is a major priority for the Foundation.

“We could not do this without the generosity of donors, and we feel very fortunate that the CMA Foundation has chosen to support Delta Hospital,” added Hoglund.

Delta resident wins more than $60K playing Keno Royce Mattice was shaking with both disbelief and excitement, upon realizing he won exactly $60,020 from a Keno draw on February 27, 2021.

The Delta resident purchased the ticket from Tsawwassen Shell on 56th Street and was watching a hockey game when he decided to check his ticket on the BCLC Lotto! app.

“I couldn’t believe it and had to check the numbers on the website,” said Mattice. “My wife came over and saw that I was shaking. I told her that I won $30K and she was so surprised and excited.”

Mattice decided to scan the ticket once more and realized that the ticket was (a) doubler, making it worth $60,020.

This is one of the tires on a commercial cargo van, which caused inspectors to pull the van from the road. The tire is worn down past the wear bars, and tread surface, into the inner structure of the tire.

Enforcement yields 33 violation tickets

A fully loaded dump truck with a full trailer was pulled off the road in a recent enforcement blitz, after officers found the trailer had absolutely no braking power.

In addition, several tires on the truck trailer combo had severe defects, requiring immediate replacements.

“Unfortunately all of the brakes on the trailer were completely inoperable,” said Const. Jared Clark of the Delta police Traffic Unit. “This vehicle was an immediate danger to others on the road.”

This was the worst find of a recent one-day commercial vehicle enforcement blitz, which DPD hosted with partners from across the Metro Vancouver area. The blitz took place March 16, in the 11900 block of Nordel Way. There were 59 inspections conducted overall, with 31 vehicles given Notice and Orders, or placed immediately out of service. In total 33 violation tickets were

handed out.

Another one of the vehicles pulled from the road was a commercial cargo van. Two of its tires were not only worn down past the wear bars (zero per cent tread), but past the tread surface and into the inner structure of the tires.

Enforcement was also conducted on the taxi and ride-sharing industry, with 30 inspections occurring. Two violation tickets were handed out roadside.

The day-long enforcement action was a joint operation with area partners including: the Burnaby RCMP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, New Westminster Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Surrey Bylaw Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Surrey RCMP Traffic Services, Upper Fraser Valley RCMP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, Port Moody Police Traffic services & BC Passenger Transportation Board.

Delta looking at more pre-school programs SANDOR GYARMATI s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The City of Delta is looking at locations to have more childcare spaces including licensed pre-school programs.

Council last year gave the go-ahead on a new childcare strategy and staff earlier this month outlined short-medium and long-term targets, as well as potential locations, for review by the Parks, Recreation and Culture Commission.

According to the 2020 Delta Child Care Action Plan, the largest need for child care programs is for three-to-five year olds, followed by sixto-12 year olds.

By 2030, Delta will require 1,051 more spaces to meet the Canadian average of childcare spaces per 100 children.

The short-term target from 2020-to-2022 will see the city add 183 more required spaces, while the mid-term from 2023-to-2025 will add about 305 required childcare spaces, and the long-term target from 2026-to-2030 would see another 563 more spaces.

The city is also looking at licensed preschool programs.

Delta currently offers a Playtime Program two hours a day, twoto-three days per week at the North Delta Recreation Centre, Ladner Community Centre and Pinewood Recreation Centre.

Delta staff note in the Action Plan that the benefits of a licensed program includes longer hours, more support for children with needs as well as subsidies being

available.

The proposed licensed pre-schools would include a threeyear-old program running Tuesday and Thursday from 9:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. as well as a program for four-yearolds running Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. each of those days.

The proposed licensed preschool locations include the three recreation facilities, which would require amendments to their current licenses.

Staff note some of the details to be considered include the city’s Delta First Initiative, which gives residents two weeks advance registration before anyone else can sign up, as well as community demand and feedback from current childcare registrants.

Delta asks for cigarette butt, vaping return program SANDOR GYARMATI s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

The City of Delta has gained some support for its proposal to have the province extend the Extended Producer Responsibility Program to cigarettes and vaping products.

The city put forward a resolution for the Union of B.C. Municipalities to consider at the 2020 convention last September.

The conference ran out of time before the Delta resolution could be considered but UBCM president Brian Frenkel recently notified Delta council the resolution was sent to the UBCM’s executive in February where it was endorsed.

The issue will now be forwarded to the appropriate provincial offices for a response.

The Delta resolution states that waste from smoking cigarettes and

vaping is unsightly, toxic to the environment and marine life, and is one of the most common sources of litter in many communities, but awareness and enforcement campaigns have been ineffective and public ashtray programs have had mixed success.

The resolution resolved that the UBCM request the provincial government work with the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment to include cigarettes and vaping waste as a priority product category for extended producer responsibility in Canada, consistent with the 2019 CanadaWide Action Plan on Zero Plastic Waste.

The government is also asked to work with the industry to implement a province-wide extended producer responsibility deposit return program for ciga-

rettes and vaping waste to eliminate litter generated from smoking.

In 2016, the City of North Vancouver submitted a resolution to the UBCM that requested the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Action Strategy implement a provincewide cigarette butt deposit-return program.

The ministry at the time responded that the priority was for new Extended Producer Responsibility programs in the province align with a Canada-Wide Action Plan for Extended Producer Responsibility and include construction and demolition waste, textiles and mattresses as future priorities for regulation.

The addition of tobacco product waste was not being considered at that time and there has been no change in provincial policy.

SDSS grad committee launches sponsorship campaign

For a small donation of $25, someone can sponsor a 2021 South Delta Secondary grad Senior year is typically the high point of a student’s time in high school, but that’s not the case for the 2021 graduating class at South Delta Secondary.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, all the highly-anticipated social events that usually happen in a typical grad year, such as the Winter Formal, Spring Fling, and the Grad Cruise have not taken place. Furthermore, the pandemic’s continuing health restrictions make it unfeasible to hold the

final Dry Grad celebration, which traditionally includes a dinner, dance and red-carpet event.

Missing these milestone experiences is taking a toll on the teenage students, both emotionally and psychologically.

Now is their one and only chance to celebrate graduating high school and they are losing hope that it will be possible.

“As parents we are immensely proud that the students have been so resilient during this very challenging year, but we fear there is only

so much isolation and canceling of events that they can take,” said the SDSS dry grad planning committee.

To keep the hope alive – and give the teens something to look forward to – the Dry Grad Committee has formulated a plan and is reaching out to the community for support.

Rather than have a single grad event with all students, a multitude of smaller events will be organized in accordance with public health orders that are in

place come May/June to ensure that every one of the 301 grads are included and has a memorable experience.

While some fundraising events have been possible, including the selling of Christmas poinsettias in December, Mother’s Day floral baskets coming in May, and donating empties at any Return It Depot to the SDSS Dry Grad account (simply enter 604-9437405 at the Express Kiosk!), other fundraising sources like dry grad donations at liquor

stores have stopped during the pandemic.

To help create some memories for the 2021 SDSS grads, the SDSS Parent Dry Grad Committee is asking for your help through their Sponsor an SDSS Grad Campaign. For a small donation of $25, someone can sponsor a 2021 SDSS grad. Each $25 donation will supplement the costs for one grad to attend the grad red carpet walk and a dinner. One can sponsor as many grads as they wish. Any leftover funds will carry over to following grad years.

“We are not expecting much, so anything the

Dry Grad Committee can do will be welcomed,” said Grade 12 student Amy Henrikson.

If you would like to donate to campaign simply e-transfer to sdssgrad2021@gmail. com.

If your local business is able to make an in-kind donation of product for door prizes/ decorations etc., please contact the committee at sdss2021@gmail.com.

The committee will also be launching a website for the community to stay up-to-date on the fundraising progress. You can reach the website: sdssgrad2021. ca starting today.

Reach to have more outdoor play space 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

Reach will have another outdoor place for kids attending its centre to play.

Delta council has approved amending the city’s lease agreement with Reach Child and Youth Development Society in order to permit a new outdoor play area at the Lois E. Jackson Kinsmen Centre for Children on 47th Avenue in Ladner.

The fenced play area would be an expansion of the preschool space, adjacent to the indoor preschool space. In addition, parents will be able

to drop off and pick up their children through the gate in the fence, which will reduce traffic within the facility.

Premium Fencing has offered to install the fencing at the facility at no cost.

In a letter to council, Reach executive director Renie D’Aquila noted their preschools are now open with COVID-19 safety measures in place, but they believe it would be beneficial to expand the preschool square footage.

“This would provide a larger area for safe play and activities to ensure physical distancing can be achieved more easily, as well as increase out-

door play time in general which is known to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19,” she wrote.

Reach has two developmental integrated preschools which offer children a program to develop their physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive skills. The preschools consist of children with developmental challenges as well as typically developing children.

Reach is a non-profit society that has been providing support services to children and youth with special needs and their families for 60 years.

The new Ladner Centre opened in 2018.

GCT proposal moves to next step 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

Global Container Terminal’s alternative proposal to the Vancouver Port Authority’s Terminal 2 application is moving to the next step.

The federal government is considering an application by the port authority to build a three-berth container terminal on a new manmade island adjacent to the existing Deltaport, a project called Terminal 2 (T2).

That application has currently been paused as the port authority gathers additional information requested by government.

GCT is hoping its alternative proposal to instead build a fourth berth at the existing container facility will be looked upon more favourably.

After receiving feedback on GCT’s initial project description, including comments

from Indigenous groups and the City of Delta, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office prepared a joint Summary of Issues.

Earlier this year, those agencies provided that report to GCT, which has one year to complete a Detailed Project Description which responds to the issues and concerns identified in the Summary of Issues report.

GCT is expected to engage with technical advisors and each of the Indigenous groups that conveyed concerns to ensure their interests and issues are reflected in the Detailed Project Description.

A lengthy series of concerns were outlined by the Tsawwassen First Nation including how DP4 “is likely to result in significant adverse effects to Tsawwassen First Nation Treaty rights and culture, including right to fish and harvest crab,

migratory birds, wildlife and plants.”

The government agencies will determined whether to proceed to an environmental assessment after reviewing GCT’s responses.

A recent staff report to Delta council notes, “Delta is represented on the technical advisory working group for this project and staff will be involved as necessary throughout the development of the detailed project description, and in the assessment process itself, once the agencies have determined whether to proceed to an environmental assessment, require additional information, issue an exemption, or terminate the project. Council will be kept apprised as the project moves forward.”

In a presentation to council last December, GCT described DP4 as a “smart, phased and environmentally-conscious plan” to provide container capacity at Roberts Bank.

Store owner makes plea not to buy real bunnies this Easter MARK BOOTH

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

A Tsawwassen pet food store owner is pleading to residents to only consider purchasing a plush bunny this Easter, and not the real thing.

Michelle LeMoignan not only happens to run Pets-NUs on 56th Street, but she is also involved in the Vancouver Rabbit Rescue organization, which is the local chapter of House Rabbit Society. When bunnies are abandoned in local parks or fields, LeMoignan has earned the reputation as the “go to” source on the Facebook community groups Tsawwassen Loop and Ladner’s Landing.

Unfortunately, there always seems to be an uptick of those

posts in the weeks and months after Easter when new rabbit owners have become overwhelmed with the attention and care that is required. Rabbits can suffer from boredom and depression if they are kept in cages and need many hours of free-roaming time and mental stimulation every day in a spacious area. They also typically live between eight to 12 years.

“Not only should you not get one impulsively, but they never should be purchased (at a pet store) either,” explained LeMoignan. “They are always available for adoption at an organization like ours or the (Delta) animal shelter.

“People don’t realize how rabbits are just as smart as dogs.

It’s much more complicated

than just locking them up in a little cage and feeding them pellets.”

LeMoignan says with proper training and attention they can roam freely inside a home and even will use a litter box like cats. That’s the case with her rabbits “DJ” and “Piggy” who were rescued by Vancouver Rabbit Rescue as orphaned babies and have been raised by LeMoignan in her home.

She added specific diets also must be taken into consideration. Something as simple as a digestive disorder can be fatal for rabbits within 48 hours.

“Rabbits are incredible animals, but there are many questions to consider and prepare for before bringing a rabbit into the family,” she added.

COVID silences Ladner Bandfest

Black & white photography featured next Organizers hopeful popular festival will return to Memorial Park in 2022 in club series A weekend of band music in Delta Photo Club’s “Season of Zoom” continues on Wednesday, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. with a presentation on “Why Black and White?” by renowned photographer Cole Thompson.

Thompson will make the case that black and white is the perfect medium for any subject…except for one.

He will show work from his various portfolios including: The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Harbinger, Ceiling Lamps, Moai, Sitting for Portrait, The Lone Man, and others.

Interspersed between the images Thompson will share his photographic philosophies, such as: Never Listen to Others, Photographic Celibacy, Cole’s Rule of Thirds, Equipment is Overrated, Vision is the Most Important Tool in my Toolbox, and many others!

At the end of his presentation he will answer questions and give away a print of The Angel Gabriel.

Thompson claims he is “uniquely unqualified to speak on photography. I’ve never taken a photography class or a workshop. I don’t have a degree in art. I’ve never worked as a photographer. I don’t have gallery representation. I’m not a Canon Explorer of Light.

And I only have three lenses and none of them are primes. Do I have any qualifications? Just one… my images. Nothing else matters.”

Memorial Park will be lost once again this summer.

The Delta Music Makers Concert Band has made the decision to postpone the 2021 Ladner Bandfest, due to COVID19 restrictions and uncertainties.

Memorial Park will be alive with sounds of the Bandfest once again in June of 2022.

“Many Deltans look forward to this event, and some actually spend morning ‘til night both Saturday and Sunday to hear every note from every band,” said director Curt Jantzen. “Since the pandemic hit last March, this wonderful music event was cancelled for June 2020, and now, with the completion of vaccinations not expected until the summer, the Bandfest committee has made the necessary decision to postpone it again.”

Jantzen said in a normal year, musicians would be coming from across B.C. to play in 19 groups during the weekend.

Space in Bandfest is highly valued by the various concert bands.

“The greatest benefit to Delta residents comes from the

COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainties left organizers no choice but to cancel the 2021 edition of the Ladner Bandfest that was slated for June at Memorial Park. fact that there is no entry fee, the public is welcome free of charge,” said Jantzen. “People relax on their lawn chairs while listening to the music, children whoop it up at the waterpark, music companies set up colourful shops, and members of the service club TOOB sing and dance as they provide refresh-

ments.”

Delta Music Makers started this event in 2004, under the organizational leadership of Jantzen, Brian Ellis, and thenMayor Lois Jackson, along with a strong committee.

They are proud that it has grown to become an important annual landmark in the musi-

cal lives of British B.C. concert bands and local residents.

“Delta city council and Mayor George Harvie continue to provide outstanding support for this artistic event, which has placed Ladner on the musical map of B.C.,” said Jantzen.

Likely dates for the return of Bandfest are Jun 4 and 5, 2022.

JEREMY HAINSWORTH

Some B.C. pandemic home renovators are regretting focusing on aesthetics rather than increasing their homes’ overall values, says a new report from BC Hydro.

“Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, British Columbians have spent more time than ever before at home, and for some it has been an eye-opening experience,” the report - titled “Room for improvement: Why British Columbians are experiencing renovation regret after making home upgrades” - said.

“With the importance of the home magnified, many British Columbians experienced a feeling of dissatisfaction with the way their home looks or functions, and the desire to complete home improvement projects and in some cases complete renovations has been on the rise,” it said.

The report, released March 12, found 53 per cent of provincial homeowners – spending more time in their residences – have completed a renovation since the pandemic began.

The report said motivations behind improvements were 35 per cent for aesthetic improvement, 29 per cent for comfort and 10 per cent for energy savings.

But many, particularly DIYers, are regretting their choices, Hydro said.

Top regrets include bathroom and

kitchen renos followed by flooring changes. Some 16 per cent regret bathroom renovation, 15 per cent kitchen renovation, and 14 per cent changing flooring “At the root of these regrets was the wish they had used different products [and] spent more time planning or invested the money to do the renovation they really wanted,” the report said.

The problem is that many thought changing aesthetics would increase the resale value of their home.

“However, these changes do not necessarily increase or maintain the value of a home long-term. In fact, maintaining worth depends heavily on energy-saving and maintenance upgrades such as updating the heating/cooling system and replacing windows, doors and roofing,” Hydro said.

But, the provincial utility said, renovators aren’t slowing down as 41 per cent are planning spring improvement projects.

The report found DIYers’ top regret was that the project took longer than expected (21 per cent), followed by not being pleased with the results (10 per cent) and taking on too much (10%).

When it comes to cost, renovators have invested between $1,000 to $4,999 on home improvements since March 2020 while almost 30 per cent have done a small project under $1,000.

Almost a quarter spent $5,000 to $19,999.

The week before Easter is a special time. This is the week where Jesus enters Jerusalem for the last time. We move in the space of one week from where Jesus is welcomed with shouts of Hosannah by the crowd, to hearing that same crowd shouting for his crucifixion on the Friday, and his death. The week ends in the stillness of the night between Holy Saturday and the dawn of Easter Sunday. “While it was still dark” Scripture reminds us, “Mary came to the tomb.”

It is natural and instinctual to want to rush the discomfort we feel with suffering and death. It is far easier to dance from the shouts of Hosannah on Palm Sunday to the joys of Easter morning.

We want to know how the story ends and that everything will work out for the best, but life isn’t a dance from joy to more joy. We need to stand at the foot of the cross and live with the ambiguity of Holy Saturday and the discomfort of the tomb. To fully know and experience Joy, and for Easter to make sense, we need to know what it is to suffer, to die and grieve. For this is Hoy Ground. A Thin Space, that prepares us for the Resurrection of tomorrow and

Easter.

Easter is always an invitation. It is in the darkness of the night and the quiet of our hearts that we begin to hear the small still voice of God inviting us to live into the new of tomorrow.

From this we begin to understand that Resurrection is not a past event that happened so many years ago with one person. Rather Resurrection, Easter, is what we are called to embrace each day.

SDSS grads earn CFL Combine invites

Grant McDonald and Charlie Moore had key roles for Vanier Cup champion Calgary Dinos MARK BOOTH

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

A pair of former South Delta Sun Devils football standouts have earned invites to participate in the upcoming CFL Combine as top prospects for the 2021 draft.

Grant McDonald and Charlie Moore are among nine draft eligible linebackers to earn spots in the combine that will take place virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Combine testing, football drills and interviews will be conducted remotely through video and will replace the traditional in-person gathering of young prospects and football personnel from the league’s nine member clubs.

Teams will have the option of conducting live player interviews online, reviewing prospects’ previous play on tape and gathering and reviewing

Linebackers Charlie Moore (left) and Grant McDonald helped the South Delta Sun Devils win the provincial AAA title back in 2014.

medical, background and performance information remotely.

McDonald and Moore are among

five members of the defending Vanier Cup champion University of Calgary Dinos to be selected. Both also had

key roles in South Delta’s run to the provincial “AAA” title back in 2014.

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound McDonald joined the Dinos in 2018 after spending his freshman season at the University of Maine. He was a Canada West all-star in 2019 and a second team U Sports All-Canadian. He is listed 18th among the 2021 CFL Draft prospects. In addition to being a force on defence, McDonald was also used in certain situations on offence.

Moore was among Calgary’s top tacklers in 2019, earning Canada West player of the week in the team’s win over rival Alberta. The pandemic wiped out the 2020 USport football season.

Back in January, both were invited to attend the 2021 College Gridiron Showcase in Fort Worth, Texas.

The CFL Draft will take place in May.

Amanda & Jace Minni off to impressive starts with their NCAA golf seasons MARK BOOTH

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

Competitive sports almost look normal again south of the border and Amanda and Jace Minni are certainly making the most of it.

The NCAA golfers from Tsawwassen are off to impressive starts in their sophomore and freshman seasons at Oregon State and Gonzaga universities respectively.

Amanda helped Oregon State finish fourth at last weekend’s PING/Arizona State Invitational in Phoenix. The team’s 5-under total over 54-holes was the fifth lowest score in school history. The 15-team field included 10 in the latest Golfstat.com rankings. The Beavers finished ahead of a number of Pac12 rivals including Stanford, Arizona, UCLA and California.

Amanda carded rounds of 72-75-72 to finish at 3-over and 26th overall in the field of 84 players. She also led the Beavers with 10 birdies during the three days.

Earlier in the month, she fired rounds of 75-71-71 to place 16th at the Arizona Wildcat Invitational in Tucson. The 1-under 71s on par-72, 6,627-yard layout were the fifth and sixth times she has broken par in her NCAA career. Oregon State finished sixth in the 16-team field.

Meanwhile, Jace has wasted little time in making an impression in his freshman season at Gonzaga. The 2020 South Delta Secondary graduate led all Bulldogs at the 29th annual Oregon Duck Invitational last week with rounds of 75-72-79 to place 39th overall. Gonzaga also placed 13th in the team standings.

Jace was coming off a 12th place finish at the Colin Montgomerie-HBU Invitational in Texas thanks to rounds of 75-76-70, helping the Bulldogs place third among the 14 teams.

The Bulldogs are in Seattle this week for the Redhawk Invitational while Oregon State SUBMITTED PHOTO are back in action next week in California at Tsawwassen’s Amanda and Jace Minni thrived at NCAA tournathe Silverado Showdown. ments in Arizona and Oregon last week.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES LEUNG, Tin-Yee February 25, 1937 - March 5, 2021

BACKER, Arnold Alfred “Arnie” FREIBERG, Carol It is with heartfelt sadness, the family of Carol Freiberg announces her peaceful passing, with her family by her side. Carol Freiberg was born July 25, 1935 in Kilronan, Saskatchewan, to parents Rosina (Imhoff) and Nicolas Fuchs. Carol was predeceased by her husband Norman Freiberg (1988), her parents Rosina and Nicolas, sister Rosina Lind, brother Hubert (Frances) Fuchs, brother-in-law Hubert Freiberg, and daughter-in-law Amanda Milford. She will be greatly missed by her children, Hugh Freiberg, Rita Freiberg and Robert Freiberg, grandchildren Megan and Paul, Dalton and Trinity, great grandchildren Mia Joy and Miguel, sister-in-law Ruth (Harold) Schmedding, Lydia, many dear cousins, nieces, nephews, dear and very close friends and neighbours .

As a child, Carol enjoyed life on the farm! She especially loved her horse! Carol loved animals and was always holding a cat or two in her arms! Teenage years were spent at the Red Cross barn dances, with her cousins and life long friends!

Carol took nursing in Saskatoon, and first worked in the Misacordia Hospital in Edmonton, then later in the Lloydminster Hospital. In 1958, she married her sweetheart from the Kilronan area, Norman Freiberg and they raised three children. Weekends were spent at their cabin at Little Fishing Lake, enjoying water skiing, dirt biking, and the large gatherings of friends and family around the camp fire. Hawaii and Las Vegas was her favourite winter spot! The family moved to St. Albert in 1968, and Carol later worked at the Youville Nursing Home, along with her many close fiends. She loved nursing, loved helping others and loved the friends she met along the way. 1992, brought a move to BC, living in Kelowna, and later spending some fun times living on Vancouver Island. She loved island hopping and Christmas Arts and Craft shows: her artsy talent included stain glass art and quilting. Retiring on the West Coast, on her acreage in South Delta with her family close by her .

Carol was smart, witty, full of mischief, loved to laugh, always had a smile on her face, and of course loved to play crib! Carol absolutely Loved Rock & Roll, and of course Elvis! Mom taught all of us kids and grandkids how to jive, using a tea towel. Carol always helped people in need and the less fortunate! Never spoke a bad word about anybody and always saw the good in everyone!

Mom had a slight obsession with Christmas lights and decorations; it was definitely her favourite time of year and we usually started at least a month before. She loved to plan large family gatherings and barbeques with family and friends. Mom absolutely loved flowers and banana splits. Her highlight of everyday was spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren!

Whether it was watching their concerts at the Sarah MacLaughlin School of Music or playing on their go-carts.

All her family, every one of her relatives and every dear friend, and all her pets, each had a special place in her heart and were very important to her. Carol believed in living life to the fullest and every minute was precious.

We know you will be with us always... for God now has a new angel in heaven ... it’s never goodbye, rather until we meet again mom!!!

To everyone who left a special mark on her heart, we thank you!

The family would like to thank the Delta and Richmond First Responders, who went above and beyond with thier care and support.

And a special thank you to the Richmond Hospital nursing staff and their medical teams for their exceptional care of our Mother.

We are so fortunate to have these caring and compassionate professionals caring for our loved ones. WE THANK YOU ALL! Family and friends are invited to share fond memories and condolences at; www.deltafuneral.ca

Arnold Alfred “Arnie” Backer was born on July 22, 1936, to William and Elizabeth (nee Sauder) Backer in McMahon, Saskatchewan. He died March 20, 2021 after a short stay at Melville Hospice in White Rock, BC.

Len passed away peacefully at Delta Hospital surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife, Helen; children, Joyce, Lawrence, and Eric; grand children Max and Tiffany, as well as many relatives in Hong Kong. He has been a part of the Delta community for 41 years. He will be much missed by neighbours and friends, especially those at the Ladner Leisure Centre. Services for immediate family only, due to Covid restrictions.

In 1950 Arnie moved with his family to Vancouver .

A few years after arriving, he met Emilie “Emi” Reidl.

A courtship ensued and they married May 20, 1961.

In 1966 Arnie and Emi moved to Delta, and Arnie began his nearly 30-year career with the Delta School Board. He retired in 1994 as Assistant Superintendent.

Arnie loved to play the guitar and lead singalongs, ride his motorcycle, and spend time at the family cabin on Hornby Island.

In addition to his parents, Arnie was predeceased by his youngest sister, Evelyn.

HARRIS, Mary December 31, 1917 − March 13, 2021 Mary (Molly) Harris (McGovern) passed away peacefully on March 13, 2021, at Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, BC. Molly was born in England in 1917. As a war bride, Molly came to Canada after WW2. She was predeceased by her husband, Reg Harris. Molly is survived by her five children, Colin, Adrianne, Roger, Moira, and Gregory; 12 grandchildren; and 12 great− grandchildren. Molly was very fond of her flowers, always making sure that she had some blooming on her patio during the summer. Throughout her long−life, Molly excelled at cooking, knitting, sewing, and completing tricky crossword puzzles, rarely at a loss for the correct answer. Molly was independent, living on her own until she was 101.

Mom, you will be missed.

There will be no formal service. Memorial donations, in lieu of flowers, can be made to the Salvation Army or a charity of your choice.

WILLIAMS, Marlene (Marny) L. April 3, 1931 − March 16, 2021 It is with great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Marny just before her 90th birthday. Like her kind−hearted nature, she gently and peacefully passed with a smile upon her face.

Marny, a wonderful mother and grandmother, is survived by her three loving children and five grandchildren. Her son, Brian Williams (Sheila), and his children, Leah and Jenn of Ladner; daughter, Jamie Robinson (Brent), and her children, Jyla and Brennan (Cait) of Ladner; and daughter, Janet Sales (Don), and her child, Kayla of Prince George.

She was also the aunt of four nieces and two nephews.

Born in Winnipeg, Marny, her mother and sister endured difficult times while her father served for five years in the RCAF overseas during WWII. When he returned, they moved to Vancouver.

Marny followed her father into the brokerage business for many years at Richardson Securities, then Midland Doherty where she was an excellent administrator & mentor, as well as an intellectual pioneer for women. She also worked at Hub Barton Insurance before fully retiring.

In 1965, Marny and her family moved to Prince George where she balanced her career & family while enjoying gardening, competitive curling, jazz music, dancing, cooking, and baking, always famous for her delicious pies, cheese, bread, and jams. She was well known for her kindness & generosity to others, while always having an open invitation to her incredible homemade meals.

Camping and fishing in BC were a favourite, but especially in their special spot at Birch Bay Resort in Francois Lake, creating fabulous family memories for all.

Marny is predeceased by her parents, Miriam Lois Fair and Herbert Richard Fair; her sister, Beverly Briskham; and her husbands, John Robinson, Raymond Norris, and Patrick Williams.

Many thanks to the amazing administrative staff, doctors, nurses, care aides, and the recreational team of the Morgan Place Care Home in South Surrey, who provided such loving care and kindness to our sweet Mom. Any donations to them in Marny’s name would be graciously accepted. Or, raise a glass of pear cider to Marny and dance a little jig, she would really love that.

I am once again with you, "My Funny Valentine".

CHORNEY, Susan Connie Jane It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Susan on March 22, 2021, at the age of 65. She was born and raised in Richmond, but later moved to Ladner. She is survived by her daughter Sheri and son in law Bernard. She was a proud grandmother to Max and Zoe. Susan was predeceased by her mother Sylvia, father John, and brother John JR. Susan was a strong lady with a big heart, always taking care of others in the most thoughtful and caring ways. This was evident with her years of service to the community as a home support worker.
